Naut’s Fabulous (And Fabulously Quick) Leftover-Turkey Recipe...

The bane of every household at this time of year, leftovers, particularly turkey, kind of dry and grey and devoid of the succulence it had only a few days ago at the Christmas feast. But it tends to be used up ‘somehow’, and here’s one, or actually two, of my ‘somehows’. There will be no quantities... Sign in to see full entry.

Further thoughts on ‘Time’...A Response to Ciel...

In my recent Tidbit post called How Time Has Changed (found here, if you’re interested, http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos367/584112 ) I had many interesting comments. One of them, by our Ciel, got me thinking and I thought I share these thoughts with you. First, here’s Ciel’s comment:... Sign in to see full entry.

Worst Recession since the Great Depression?

Here is a succinct and sober analysis of the current situation by one of the most astute observers of the economy, Teeka Tiwari, the Chief Investment Officer of the highly respected ‘Tycoon Report’. It always makes for excellent reading, even for non-tycoons, and I thought it might interest... Sign in to see full entry.

Hell Hath No Fury...

Our Ciel recommended a movie recently - An American Werewolf in London, which she described as really terrifying, and I shall definitely go and see it – I love terrifying movies. Corbin recommended something to me today called Idiocracy, in response to today’s entry in ‘Tidbits’, and I shall... Sign in to see full entry.

Your Candidate Didn't Win? Maybe Your Wallet Will (Maybe...)

Here’s some consolation for those [yep, I’m one of them, as you probably already know], whose preferred candidate did not become President-elect on the 4 th. This is from the highly respected Tycoon Report, worthwhile reading even for those of us who are not tycoons, but who nonetheless find... Sign in to see full entry.

Response to 1AMHAN1's Comment...Part IV (Final)

We are now coming to the third question in 1AM ’s comment, which, as you may recall, (or quite possibly not, lol ) asks for the connection between physics and love. As I suggested in my previous post, aside possibly from some purely physiological processes, physics has little if anything to say... Sign in to see full entry.

Response to 1AMHAN1's Comment...Part III

We now come to question # 2 as distilled from 1AM ’s comment, and, paradoxically, things get simultaneously simpler and more difficult. The simple part first: physics has to say nothing about human emotions, although psychology does, and, to an increasing degree, physiology and genetics. But that is... Sign in to see full entry.

Response to 1AMHAN1's Comment...Part II

This is the second part to question #1 as distilled from 1AM ’s comment – if you’re still with me; and from the general discussion of what science is about I am moving to the more specific issue of the relationship between Science and human behavior. Science is fairly good at dealing with human... Sign in to see full entry.

Response to 1AMHAN1's Comment...Part I

The first of these posts will deal with 1AMHAN1’s comment and its implied questions. She commented in response to my post ‘Where Babies Come From’, http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Nautikos367/576455. That post consisted mainly of an interesting question and an answer that was poorly thought... Sign in to see full entry.

A Thanksgiving Cruise...Part III (Final)

Well, we finally ‘set sail’ or ‘put to sea’ (‘to Lake ’?), in a manner of speaking. These cruises are never terribly long; they last just a few hours, which is why you don’t need cabins. There isn’t even enough time for a shipboard romance, as on longer cruises. Which is another reason why you don’t... Sign in to see full entry.
