https://scepticon.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/daily-deals-and-altmed-pseudoscience
Just the Biased Facts. Daily Deals and Altmed Pseudoscience. Date: 9 May, 2013. I’ve been noticing the occasional product on the daily deal site I frequent that is, how to put this delicately, BS. Today I saw one that I just had to have some fun with and hopefully give people some idea of what the product is really about at the same time. You can see the discussion at:.

** TONI'S BLOG **: Races
http://tonioneill.blogspot.com/2011/01/races.html
I am now back on the Gold Coast and my travelling adventures are over! This beautiful picture is in Mykonos. Saturday, 15 January 2011. Today we decided to head to the races for some fun in the sun and to "frock" up. Upon trying to get into the gate, I was accosted by the security guard and made to wear an "age" bracelet for the whole day to say I was over 18. However, the people at the bar didn't believe me or my "age" bracelet and made me show my ID again! Successing out winners with Hilton. Nine of us...

Elves Stop Construction – Scepticon
https://scepticon.wordpress.com/2013/12/24/elves-stop-construction
Just the Biased Facts. Date: 24 December, 2013. A couple of years ago I wrote a post about Taniwha. And whether their alleged presence should constitute a stop sign for construction projects. At the time I was responding to an article which proposed just that on the grounds that the Taniwha claims could represent indigenous knowledge of the area relevant to construction. Icelanders also have mythical creatures. That interrupt engineering projects – via human intermediaries of course. Perhaps but it seems...

Why Do People Use Alternative Medicine? – Scepticon
https://scepticon.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/why-do-people-use-alternative-medicine
Just the Biased Facts. Why Do People Use Alternative Medicine? Date: 26 March, 2012. I often read that the reason people are turning to complementary/alternative/integrative(take your pick) medicine is because they are dissatisfied with the care received from mainstream/conventional/”western”* medicine. This may be true for a small segment of the population, those with a chronic illness or with terminal cancer spring to mind. But is this generally true of altmed users? 3 Philosophical congruence: Alterna...

http://tonioneill.blogspot.com/2011/02/saras-25th-birthday-party.html
I am now back on the Gold Coast and my travelling adventures are over! This beautiful picture is in Mykonos. Saturday, 12 February 2011. Sara's 25th Birthday Party. It was Sara's 25th birthday this month and so she had a "no frills" birthday party in the back yard to celebrate. She had loads of friends around, bbq, fire and a pinata which was filled with glitter. It was a fun night, had by all. I ended up leaving the party and heading to the Grand for some drinks with friends. My night wasn't so fun!

Disgust or Anger? – Scepticon
https://scepticon.wordpress.com/2009/10/21/disgust-or-anger
Just the Biased Facts. Date: 21 October, 2009. The ability to recognise the emotional states of those around us is a very useful tool which allows us to act appropriately in social situations. If this ability is impaired then it could lead to inappropriate reactions when dealing with others, this in turn could land us in hot water. An impairment like this has been suggested to explain the behaviour of delinquents, though it is unlikely to be a sole cause of antisocial behaviour. The emotions covered were...
