Dr. Zamboni strikes again!

Look!
These people are trusting their lives to the theory of one Dr. Zamboni. Shouldn't his name be like a really big clue that he's a total crackpot?

The idea is that narrowing of veins in the head and neck prevents blood from draining from the brain, causing MS. So using balloon angioplasty these veins can be reshaped and the MS is cured!

This completely contradicts current theories about MS, which is that it is an autoimmune type disorder due to improper localization of immune system cells in the brain. Once these cells are in the brain they attack it!

I guess both these ideas sound pretty farfetched - can bodies really do these things? Also, people have responded to treatment to get their veins opened up, and many people with MS do have narrowed veins in their neck. Zamboni may just be on to something.

Would you trust a Dr. Zamboni? Remember, Sarah Palin wanted to name her son Zamboni.

Horsies!!!!

I went horseback riding yesterday! First time ever! Whoop!

Cory has a friend who has three horses, so we drove out to Conifer and rode them around!

First we brushed them. Then we saddled them. Then we scampered off into the hills. We walked and also we rode fast. It was wonderful.

Today I just can't wait to go again - in two weeks! Thanks Cory!



I wore red on purpose - just in case.

BoingBoing Inspires me with the inane again.



[Robotics developers at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich's Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control have built autonomous robots that drive, dock with their peers on the ground, then fly into the air in coordinated swarms....all of this without human direction. In fact, the vehicles can drive around on the ground as individual, autonomous units, but "it is not until they assemble that they are able to fly," according to the researchers.]

I love you BOINGBOING you complete my Nerd-Life

BEER HAS FOOD VALUE


FOOD HAS NO BEER VALUE

dude where's my car

I lost my car over the weekend. I knew I had used it to go grocery shopping, and to go to the lab, and then - a void. Was it in some distant parking lot? Did it get towed for a mysterious reason?

Turns out it was at Pat's house. I left it there after band practice on Thursday and Eric and I walked home. Yay! It was a rather celebratory band practice.

I'm leaving it there. It's so safe!

Anyone for Tennis?

Yay birthday! You can't see it but we're wearing matching, brand-spankin new tennis shoes. All four of them were blindingly white - now they are less so.

Tennis is our new favorite, along with biking, and sleeping.

I drove this car yesterday

and it was sweet! Quiet. Fast. Accelerative. Sporty. Zero emissions and all that.

Now I will become a racecar driver.

a new bean

I see this dried bean every time we go to the grocery store, and every time I ask, What the hell is that?

It is called the mayocoba bean.

Anyone? Ever heard of it before now?

Eric has a new toy!


I got him a bicycle for his birthday! Now we can ride to New Belgium together!
