In an effort to clean out my bookmarks here are some non gun related links I thought were worth saving for one reason or a'tother.
I read a rather interesting post about a movie called The Barbarian Invasions & a RN losing her father to cancer. I seem to recall catching part of The Barbarian Invasions a few years back but can't recall too much about it, but none the less the post is worth a read. On a semi related note I also found some neat pics of anatomic models imposed on real people. I found both the afore linked posts at Volume 3, Number 33 of Grand Rounds (which is basically a medical blog carnival). May 6th through 12th is a national week to recognize RN's. On yet another medical related note, I was pointed to this page which tells about the upcoming (June 14-21) 30th annual medical professional assistants week, in case you know one. & because animals need love too I noticed that National Veterinary Technicians Week occurs October 15 through 21rst - just in case ya need to mark your calender.

My pal Anachronista has a post up on -er, modern(?) gadgets. There have been so many occasions that I wanted to tell time while flinging mini projectiles at folks, & thanks to her post I now have a solution. & Anachronista has posted a link to a rather lengthy podcast of medieval music. My old music history teacher would be ashamed that I didn't' recognize all the styles.
