Coffee, colas more dangerous than realized

This is a book review of "Caffeine Blues" - I am assuming it should go in Misc because it is not a book related to Orthodoxy. At the end of this article, there are illustrations which would not show up here. They show a spider making distorted webs under the influence of various elements. ...

Re: Lesson from Hurricane Sandy - Prepare

Myself, I am avoiding reading or viewing anything about this storm, because it is too overwhelming. What I think, though, is that at times like this, True Orthodox groups mu...

changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace -

Catholic News Agency blandly presents the false head of the false anglican denomination. This article generated a cascde of negative comments from mainstream Catholics, who seem more alert than many in official ranks. I chose the most clever to add at the end. It has a homespun wisdom.
