I discovered accidentially that if you use Google.com to search for a disease or ailment, a group of more specific searches appear first. These “result refinements” include
Treatment
Symptoms
Tests/diagnosis
Causes/Risk factors
For patients
For health professionals
From medical authorities
Medical alternatives
For example, if you look up bell’s palsy, you get this.
While there’s the risk of hypochondriacs making mischief with this service, I [...]
I got my first (and unsolicited) reference as a UCC blogger from Respect the Comma.
What makes this particularly nice is that the author is himself joining the UCC church he found in nearby Frederickburg, Va. on Sunday.
What makes this poignant is that the book that led him in his faith journey was the universalist-theology If [...]
As I mentioned, Hubby and I got back from the beach: Ocean City, Maryland, and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware specifically. We used a bus (yeah, transit!) to tool up and down the skinny island.
But it was a bit like I was being followed.

Hubby and I are back from the beach. It was just what we needed. By the way, the Crocs were godsend for the feet and made us the talk of the boardwalk.
There was a letter from the MFC — more about the contents later — waiting for me. How is it that Arthur Frommer’s Budget [...]
Still little-to-no blogging, but I thought I should mention that I got Crocs today.
Yellow ones, for a long weekend by the shore.

Blogging will still be very slow for a while, but I couldn’t help mentioning the newly named dwarf planet Eris, formerly nicknamed Xena. Xena worked for me, seeing as it came closer to respecting a mythic figure I actually cared about than just about anything else. Gotta love a Warrior Princess.
But I’m happy for those [...]
I saw this notice at Adam Tierney-Eliot’s perhaps-doomed blog, Unity. Just getting the word out. Blogging’s a little thin around here, too.
THE COUNCIL OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IN THE UUA Convocation XV will be held on October 15th at King’s Chapel, 64 Beacon Street, Boston, MA. Registration and a light lunch offered between 1 pm to [...]
I’m sorry to say I forget which blog entry I read that mentioned the new Google News Archive feature, but it has been fun to see century-old news stories available for instant download, though you only get so far in most cases before having to pay a fee to read the whole thing. You know [...]
I have been re-stocking UniversalistChurch.net with the hard-to-find documents that you were once able to find there — and then some. I had planned this big roll-out of James Relly’s 1759 masterwork Union or, a Treatise of the Consanguinity and Affinity between Christ and his Church as a PDF file, but it is long over [...]
I think most Unitarian Universalist ministers and staffers were encouraged when the new UUA-affiliated health plan went public. But not all who might want the coverage are eligible — private practice, less than 1,000 hours a year, between parishes?
I found this reference tool, to help actors (who are themselves in a similiar situation) — hope [...]
