Time is Running Out for "Intelligent Design"
Boston, MA (ContentDesk) April 9, 2006 --
Tick tock Tiktaalik. Time appears to be running out for the idea of Intelligent Design. Paleontologists have just reported a discovery that promises to be as significant to evolutionary theory as it will be damaging, if not fatal, to biblical literalism. Now Bob Michael is commemorating the discovery with hats, t shirts, jerseys, sweatshirts, mugs, pillows, and tote bags.Proponents of Intelligent Design claim that a superior intelligence created each species in the forms that we see today. They insist that evolutionary theory is wrong because there exist no transitions, no evidence of "missing link" fossils to show changes from one species into another.
Their argument has always, of course, ignored the existence of archaeopteryx fossils - the transition species from reptile to bird. Now we have the uncovering, on Canada's Ellesmere Island, of a fossil which clearly shows a species that bridged the gap between fish and land animals. Neil Shubin of the University of Chicago and Ted Daeschler of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia have reported on the 375-million-year-old Tiktaalik roseae which "blurs the boundary between fish and land animals... It is both fish and tetrapod," showing how life made the transition to land, evolving four limbs from fins. They have dubbed this creature a "fishapod."There are those who make discoveries, and then there are those who try to have fun with them, which brings us to Bob Michael.
"I had been digging around for quite some time, trying to find the transition store from the traditional T-shirt and gift shop to a shop with legs, something that could stand on its own. When I read about the discovery of Tiktaalik, and saw an artists conception of what it probably looked like, I said to myself 'Intelligence could not have designed that' and I was on my way to the creation (if you'll excuse the expression) of 'Tiktaalik Roseae Fishapod T-shirts and Gifts' which can be found at
http://www.cafepress.com/tiktaalikroseae.
Tiktaalik is an Inuit word for shallow-water fish, and I immediately started to think about deeply-lined pockets." It started out as just another T-shirt shop, but quickly evolved into a full-service Tiktaalik emporium, with hats, jerseys, sweatshirts, mugs, pillows, tote bags and everything else to fill shoppers' Tiktaalik needs.Items in the shop bear the catchy phrase, "Tick-tock, Tiktaalik roseae... Time is running out for Intelligent Design." Bob confirms that "as mutations occur, additional variant forms of my Tiktaalik design will naturally appear in my shop."
So the next time you think Intelligent Design, think Tiktaalik, because in the past everything was famous for 15 million years..

More lather = a more effective shampoo = cleaner hairFALSE: Lathering agents are often added to shampoos, but more foam doesn't mean cleaner hair.3.

Bananas: All That Potassium and Carmen Miranda Too!
Bananas: All That Potassium And Carmen Miranda Too! "?We have old-fashioned tomahto, Long Island potahto, but Yes, we have no bananas. We have no bananas today.."- Folk song by Frank Silver and Irving Cohen (1923)Whether you are off to Rio following the colorful trail of Carmen Miranda's fruit-filled hat or seated on your couch contemplating the universe, the banana can always come along for the ride. There are so many aspects to this strange and wonderful fruit. Even its shape is a bit mysterious; conjuring images of tropical islands and sun-filled days. Did you know that the word "banana" originates from the Arabic and means finger? Doesn't that make you wonder where the rest of the hand is? I have been hooked on bananas ever since I was a child, and Miss Chiquita, drawn by Dik Brown who also created the Campbell kids, used to sing to me through the television in my parents' living room.
(I always wondered why she never had her own show. She was so much cuter than Ed Sullivan.)...

Sidney's Closet Helps Pioneer the 'Mommy Rep' Program
(ContentDesk) May 16, 2006 -- So you are a Momprenuer . You have a great idea or product and a solid business plan, but you lack the sales and networking skills to market it. Or maybe you're just so busy developing your product, you have no time to sell it. Sounds like you need a Mommy Rep.Both reasons led Sidney's Closet, an online business selling handmade fashion accessories for moms and babies, to start a Mommy Rep program. Also, Ashlee Cooper, President of Sidneys Closet, says she was frustrated by traditional market reps.
I would give free samples to reps and get little result says Cooper. Market reps are selling to stores at wholesale price and then taking a percentage. I was left with only 35% of my retail price in revenue. These numbers just didnt work for a small company selling handmade items. So, in late 2005 Sidneys Closet began thinking of ways to solve this problem. And the...
