Every cat reacts a little differently to catnip, and some cats won’t have any response to it at all. (Photo: Felicity Rainnie/flickr) Read more: http://www.mnn.com/family/pets/stories/why-your-cat-goes-crazy-for-catnip#ixzz3EJQNkJod

You come home to find your cat rolling around on the floor, rubbing his face on a favorite toy and perhaps even drooling a bit, and you know what happened — he got into the catnip again.

But what is it about catnip that makes your cat react this way?

Catnip is a plant in the mint family that produces a chemical called nepetalactone. When a feline inhales nepetalactone, the chemical binds to receptors in the cat’s nasal tissues, which activates sensory neurons in the brain.

Why Shark Embryos Gobble Each Other Up In Utero

The ocean update

April 30^th, 2013 (Tia Ghose). Shark embryos cannibalize their littermates in the womb, with the largest embryo eating all but one of its siblings.

Now, researchers know why : It’s part of a struggle for paternity in utero, where babies of different fathers compete to be born.

The researchers, who detailed their findings today (April 30) in the journal Biology Letters, analyzed shark embryos found in sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus) at various stages of gestation and found that the later in pregnancy, the more likely the remaining shark embryos had just one father.

That finding suggests the cannibalism seen in these embryos is a competitive strategy by which males try to ensure their paternity.

“In some species, the struggle for paternity continues beyond the point where the female [mates with] the male,” said study co-author Demian Chapman, a marine biologist at Stony Brook University of…

September 25^th, 2014 (Petra Hucke). The board of the fin whaling company Hvalur hf. has decided to conclude its fin whale hunting season earlier than usual due to bad weather and shorter days.

A total of 137 fin whales were caught this year, three more than last season. Gunnlaugur Fjólar Gunnlaugsson of the whale processing station Hvalstöðin in Hvalfjörður said that he was satisfied with this year’s results, especially early on when the weather was favorable for whaling.

September 24^th, 2014 (Julien Arsenault). MONTREAL – A judge has suspended exploratory drilling for the TransCanada oil terminal in eastern Quebec after objections by environmentalists.

The decision by Quebec Superior Court Justice Claudine Roy to grant a temporary injunction on Tuesday stops the Alberta-based company from conducting seismic surveys in Cacouna until Oct. 15.

That work involved studying the composition of the sea bed in that part of the Lower St. Lawrence to determine where the port could be built.

Pod pushed orca to surface (New Zealand)

The ocean update

UNDERWATER RESCUE: The orca ‘Dian’ found entangled in a cray pot line on Monday had help from the rest of the pod which pushed it to the surface to breathe.

September 11^th, 2014 (Chris Thompson). A 6 metre orca called Dian had to be rescued about a kilometre east of Kawau Island, Hauraki Gulf, after it got stuck in a cray pot line.

It would not have survived but for the remarkable actions of five orcas, including her own calf, pushing the exhausted and entangled orca to the surface so it could breathe, rescuers say.

The Kindness of the One-Shot-Drop Hunter

Blame It on Love

Imagine someone going out and shooting a random man on the street, in the head, just the right spot to kill him quickly. Killer feels proud and macho and approved of by society and its pretty girls because he took the guy down quickly, he barely even knew what happened. His life is over…his life which Killer deemed for the taking, as the guy was out minding his own business. Killer did it “humanely”!

Never mind the dead man’s right to his life, or his family or other loved ones, his dependents. Never mind that he has a home that will be without him now, all his life’s accumulations, his work, his dreams and aspirations, his goodness…his mere right to not have his life ended by Killer on a whim. Never mind those who may be devastated at losing him and now have to get through life without him.

Barack Obama salutes Marines with coffee cup in hand

America's Watchtower

 This video is starting to make the rounds tonight so you may have already seen it, but in case you have not here is how Barack Obama saluted the Marines when he left Marine One earlier today when he arrived at the United Nations to talk about global warming:

  I really do not think I need to add anything to this video, it speaks for itself. But considering the fact he landed at the United Nations to speak about climate change I will ask the following question: isn’t Styrofoam bad for the environment?

Smoked Meat Deadlier Than Cigarettes, Alcohol – MFABlog.org

Life or Lunch?

Doctors from India’s Government General Hospital recently announced that meat or fish that has been smoked, or cooked directly over fire, is more harmful to human health than alcohol consumption or even cigarettes.

The doctors explain, “When meat or fish is cooked directly over fire, it gets covered with cancer-causing carcinogens.” Analysis performed by undergraduate medical students at the hospital turned up data showing that people who ate smoked meat were nine times more likely to develop cancer than people who did not.

By comparison, smokers were eight times more likely to develop cancer than non-smokers and people who consumed alcohol were only four times more likely than teetotalers.

This isn’t the first time cooked meat has been called out for health concerns. Stateside, the NIH also recently discovered a correlation between barbequed or grilled meat and cancer.

You can help protect yourself against cancer and other illnesses by adopting…

NARCISSISTS, WHO ARE THEY?

ARLIN REPORT...................walking this path together

Everyone mentions Narcissism, so who are they!

Most of Congress, the current administration could easily be diagnosed with Narcissism.

Is this a general personality trait of elected officials.  Hopefully not one that is required.

I would be doing a disservice here if I didn’t mention one potential 2016 presidential candidate that has all the below SYMPTOMS of this personality disorder.    HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON:  You knew it was coming!!

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Fukushima, Japan rocked by two earthquakes in one hour; epicenter near nuclear plants

The Extinction Protocol

September 2014– JAPAN— A pair of moderate earthquakes struck just off the coast of Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture Wednesday, close to the nuclear power plants crippled by the March 2011 tsunami. There were no early reports of damage, injuries, or new problems at the nuclear plants. The Japan Meteorological Agency says the first earthquake struck at 9:45 p.m. JST (8:45 a.m. EDT in the U.S.) and registered a magnitude of 5.0. The second quake, a slightly stronger magnitude-5.2 tremor, struck 46 minutes later. Both were centered just off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture, where the Fukushima Daiichi and Fukushimi Daini reactors were severely damaged in the March 11, 2011 tsunami that followed a magnitude-9.0 quake farther offshore. The damage spawned the worst crisis at a nuclear power plant since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, and prompted Japan to shut down most of its nuclear power plants. Tokyo Electric Power…

Victory: Federal Judge Reinstates Federal Protections Statewide

September 23, 2014

Washington, D.C. —Federal protections for gray wolves in Wyoming were reinstated today after a judge invalidated the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2012 statewide Endangered Species Act delisting of the species. The ruling from the U.S. District Court halts the management of wolves by Wyoming, a state with a history of hostile and extreme anti-wolf policies.

“The court has ruled and Wyoming’s kill-on-sight approach to wolf management throughout much of the state must stop,” said Earthjustice attorney Tim Preso. “Today’s ruling restores much-needed federal protection to wolves throughout Wyoming, which allowed killing along the borders of Yellowstone National Park and throughout national forest lands south of Jackson Hole where wolves were treated as vermin under state management. If Wyoming wants to resume management of wolves, it must develop a legitimate conservation plan that ensures a vibrant wolf population…

FBI SAYS NO ONE KILLED AT SANDY HOOK

Nwo Report

FBI publishes crime report showing “0” murders occurred in Newtown in 2012

Recently released FBI crime statistics curiously show that no murders occurred in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, despite reports that numerous schoolchildren and faculty members were slaughtered during a shooting rampage in December of that year.

On December 14, 2012, the world watched in horror as the corporate media reported the deaths of 20 students and 6 staff members at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown at the hands of a deranged 20-year-old.

Internet sleuths immediately took to the web to stitch together clues indicating the shooting could be a carefully-scripted false flag event, similar to the 9/11 terror attacks, the central tenet being that the event would be used to galvanize future support for gun control legislation. Two years later, and scores of politicians and gun control groups have cited the Sandy Hook incident as a pretext…
