I am so cynical that I inspect everything against the upcoming referendum of Fake Freedoom for Scotland.

I don't suffer misogynists

It is a problem. It should not be a problem to safely construct and manage plants, but it is a massive problem.

The problem is not really technical, but whom to trust. The Govts can not be trusted to run a plant, all they will do is use it as a cover story for bomb making, and the Corps are souless demons that are also completely untrustworthy.

For this to happen in Japan is for me more than a little suspect.

I'll come straight out with it...

I'd suspect SABOTAGE as the reason that Reactor is in such a mess right now.

Its "amazing" that they do not get more bad publicity

Yup

The number of cointel talking points inserted into the show was un-believable...
How sad.

The caller moaned about his posts getting deleted...

They gave this issue a real hard sell on the media. Trying to make out that since Switzerland is surrounded by the benevolant facist european union, that it was illogical to have a militia.

This is to forget the last war, with the last benevolant european union under the last maniac.

So make a better version of the V poster !!!

So are you a Pink Floyd fan ?
 

The rise of soft courses:
Half a million students fail to hit GCSE target

More than 550,000 pupils failed to achieve five passes in traditional subjects at GCSE because they were signed up to take easier options such as hairdressing, league tables revealed yesterday.

Only one in six youngsters achieved the standard which is now expected of them by the Education Secretary, Michael Gove.

Mr Gove believes this leaves them lacking basic academic skills and ill-prepared to enter the workplace or further education.



The findings are the result of a controversial new ranking system for secondary schools – called the English Baccalaureate – which Mr Gove says exposes the shift under Labour towards ‘soft’ courses such as hairdressing salon services.

To meet the Education Secretary’s new measure, all pupils are expected to score A* to C in the five core GCSE subjects of English, mathematics, science, languages and humanities. But just 15.6 per cent of pupils passed the threshold last summer.

In more than half of state secondaries – some 1,600 – fewer than 10 per cent achieved this.

And in 270 schools, there were no pupils who achieved it.

Mr Gove wants this measure to be one of the statistics parents use to judge the value of schools.

But his plan has sparked a major political row and provoked furious reaction from headteachers and teaching unions.

Yesterday Andy Burnham, Labour’s education spokesman, accused Mr Gove of telling youngsters they can ‘study Latin but not ICT’. Teaching unions claimed he was ‘relentlessly elitist’.

How high-pitched music could
cure tinnitus by 're-booting' the brain

Scientists may have developed a cure for tinnitus, the persistent ringing in the ears that blights the lives of hundreds of thousands of Britons.

In tests, researchers were able to stop the irritating noises by stimulating a nerve in the neck while playing a high-pitched tone into the ears.

The technique – which ‘reboots’ the brain – has been successfully tested on rats. Clinical trials on humans are due to start in the next few months.

Bird deaths: Did NWS Radar Capture Startled Flock?

Weather radar in Little Rock, Ark. may have captured an image of a flock of birds as they rose from nighttime roosts near Beebe, Ark. on New Year's Eve. Thousands of redwing blackbirds were later found dead on the ground nearby.

Such radar images of bird flocks are not unusual. Weather radar sites near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and Delaware sometimes capture the radar reflections of flocks of birds as they rise into the sky at sunrise on summer mornings.

Last night, Steve Zubrick, the science officer out at the National Weather Service forecast office in Sterling, Virginia, sent me a link to a radar image recorded beginning at 10:21 p.m. Central Time in Little Rock. That's about a half hour before reports began coming in about dead birds falling from the sky in Beebe.

The loop shows rainstorms moving away to the north and east of the radar. But at a spot about 25 nautical miles northeast of the radar, an unusual reflection appears, expands and moves off to the southeast with the prevailing winds. It's the green blob on the still radar image above.

"Could these returns be birds disturbed from the nightly roosting sites?" Steve asks.

"Given what was on radar...just a few light showers moving NE and examination of surface obs within 30nm of this area showed nothing unusual (no high wind gusts, eg). There were a few positive lightning strikes about 50-55 nautical miles to the SE over Arkansas County around 0430 UTC. Positive lightning strikes carry much more current then negative strikes...and have a much bigger "boom" then negative strikes. Still, they were located 55 miles away...although it would not be entirely impossible other lightning (non-cloud-to-ground) could have occurred.

"But I don't have any data that could show that (i.e., there is no lightning detection network that I know of in that area that would pick up the "total" lightning (e.g., within cloud or cloud-to-air) I'd say there is not a meteorological explanation. Exploding fireworks sounds like the most plausible...given the time of year...New Year's Eve...and that many folks like to shoot off fireworks to celebrate the New Year."

Families hit as fuel and food costs soar (... and energy bill could DOUBLE every five years)

By Sean Poulter
Last updated at 7:49 AM on 12th January 2011

Millions of hard-pressed families are being further squeezed by punishing rises in fuel bills and food prices.

Energy giant E.ON yesterday announced a price increase as experts warned that bills are set to double every five years.

The German-owned supplier will put up electricity tariffs by 9 per cent and gas by 3 per cent – adding an average of £62 to annual dual fuel bills for 4.3million customers.

At the same time, figures from the British Retail Consortium show that food prices are continuing to rise at double the pace of wages.

Annual food inflation in December was 4 per cent compared to a rise of 2 per cent in incomes last year.

This means a family spending £100 a week on food a year ago will have to find an extra £208 a year to put meals on the table.

The increases in the cost of living come as the country struggles to emerge from recession.

Petrol prices are also running around 20 per cent higher than a year ago, while rail fares leapt this month.

Inflation is Coming . . . . torture for the poor

AND it is all to Rob The Poor to Feed The Rich.

Inflation on items the poor can not avoid, namely Food and Fuel are DOUBLE the rate of inflation. The better off will hardly notice the price increases, but the poor, who are mostly on Fixed Incomes are going to be the biggest victims. People like pensioners, whose incomes are falling as there savings are offering effectively no return on there money will be hit very, very hard.

Its pure calculated evil . . . .

This proves the entire "War On Terror" is just total B#llSh#t

 * The USA trains terrorists
 * The USA sponsors terrorists
 * The USA is a safe haven for terrorists

Its all in the Govt Documents, and its in plain language spelling it all out, no reading between the lines required.

I think this year some of the seeds of The Greatest Bank Robbery of all time will emerge. Now that the memories of the real cause of all our woes, and that we are back into the matrix playing Red Team versus Blue Team. They seem to want to re-run some of the scripts from the 1970's, in particular they, the state media, the BBC single handed resserected the NeoNazis...

I expect late summer will be particuarlly warm as the rioters ignite the odd city.

All I can say is Watch China.

Yes, despite it being the beginning of January, Britions are being told to expect a hose pipe ban. Instead of an in depth discussion on how the water company miss management across the country driven by profit motive... Its lets all blame it on the weather with the inference that it is more evidence of Global Warming.

How about considering, that it is in the water companies financial interests to make water a scarce and expensive product to get more profit for delivering less water ?

Also consider that during the past decade the water companies have been incrementally and persistently closing small resevoirs to sell off the land and reduce costs.

Where is the motivation to fix leaking pipes and what incentive exists for the water companies to bury the water pipes deeper to protect against low temperature burst pipes ?

No... it is blame it all on Global Warming, will the corperate machine that owns Govt continues to squeeze the serfs for more money for less water - All under the cover of Global Warming, as evidenced by this typical news headline . . . .
