Infiltrating dud muntiions into the enemy supply train to assist their morale! BTW the plucky Taliban are friends of the West oops sorry I just time warped back to 1990 http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Afghanistan/Afghanistan_CIA_Taliban.html

from this article - which please note does say despite the assumptions made the US has actually declined in some areas since the report. SO the question still remains why does the US pay so much of GDP but get no better than counties paying less? http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125608054324397621.html From my readings of US sources: Unhealthy lifestyle Poor diet Corrupted medical system - over medication - patient as a cash cow - legal blood-suckers

Interesting links - though the attention to France is marked. Here is what the WHO say on their site as to ranking system. I thought I must not just trust US sources : ) Comparison to Canada might have seemed logical where similar cost might apply.

Does it have to be clean!!!??? **** her tits

Most of this was news to me to: and a whole load more here http://www.alternet.org/economy/148501/why_germany_has_it_so_good_--_and_why_america_is_going_down_the_drain/

Is there any reason for this? a] because we can b] we want to raise the profile of DKE c] we are actually very stupid d] we are fighting for free speech e] the world needs to know how civilised the US is http://www.alternet.org/story/148522/disgusting%3A_yale_frat_caught_on_tape_chanting_about_rape_%22no_means_yes%2C_yes_means_anal%22_and_%22f**cking_sluts%22

As an educational service: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Western_Australia That state in America has a per capita GDP of about $41,000 in 2009.

Its rather sad that the Army Air Corp and the RAF [and the RN] have all been screwing around with helicoptor requirements. In my book helicoptors are close close support and land based ones should not be RAF.

Customer: Waitress - his coffee tastes like mud!!! Waitress: I am not surprised - it was only ground this morning. bom boom cranky - I had that problem with that tree dweller also, but then as an American they are not taught geography so ignorance of the rest of the world and there states is logical. Fortunately they are quite good at saying Paris France so the rest of the world do not confuse it with the proper place in the US. Incidentally WA could swallow the state of Washington ten times with change and is bigger than Alaska [which itself is bigger than Texas, California and Montana combined]

Well it is a Murdoch channel - news as entertainment nt for facts or educattion

Richie has found a plytest version of Knights and I will send it now to an old address I have for you.

There is a scenario done by I think GAJ Green as Jade, on the Bruneval Raid. And I think there is a film of the incident .....

Great project thanks for the linky. Perhaps BF forum should adopt a ship to do? : ) Going from that site following the last floating WW1 ship I came to this excellent site: http://www.bobhenneman.info/TecharticlesHome.htm

http://www.afterdawn.com/news/article.cfm/2010/10/13/school_district_in_webcam_spying_case_settles_litigation The result. Opinions on legal fees may differ. Interesting to see one of the scholl administrators was seemingly having a free peep show: http://media.philly.com/documents/MotiontoCompel.pdf

This is not meant to be any kind of snipe at anyone or political but I found this article very interesting as to what is happening on the ground in Iraq in the quiet areas. You can take a view on bias but I am sure there is a lot of reality in this article: http://www.alternet.org/world/148443/i_was_a_professor_at_the_horribly_corrupt_american_university_of_iraq..._until_the_neocons_fired_me?page=2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemtrail_conspiracy_theory Seems to cover it well. Whilst the fundamental ides is accepted that aircraft are dropping crap as they fly anyhting beyond it in terms of conspiracy does seem seriously nut-job.

I am no friend of pesticides so appreciate any reduction. However my fear is that in a war against insects they can adapt faster than new"cures" can be found. And the making of a smaller crop variety pools is a mistake. I look at the Cavendish banana as an example. As for pesticides, you have to marvel at what goes on: http://www.alternet.org/story/148437/industry_front_group_gets_taxpayer_money_to_convince_you_to_eat_pesticide-laden_food?page=entire

Fun in NZ. That guy muct be a Dik**** : ). Looking at the science link I saw this: And I am sure that the effects on other insects, or populations that live off them, are fine also : ) But why should good science look further than a crop yield and effects on humans. Incidentally I understand in the US that estrogen tags are clipped to sheep and cattle anfd that increases growth rates. Wonderful - but given girls of 9 are passing through to maturity and the general obeseness of the Americans might there be cause for concern. Of course it would be unfair to assume that the US food industry, anymore than the pharmaceutical industry, is untrustworthy in suppressing studies that be unfavourable, or, not carrying out studies on the wider implications.

People whose concept of ancient history is the first series of Star Trek may be treated with patience, because it's usually not their fault they were reduced to getting their education from school. -- (Terry Pratchett, alt.books.pratchett) I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. -- (Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett) My experience in Amsterdam is that cyclists ride where the hell they like and aim in a state of rage at all pedestrians while ringing their bell loudly, the concept of avoiding people being foreign to them. My dream holiday would be a) a ticket to Amsterdam immunity from prosecution and c) a baseball bat :-) -- (Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett) There should be a notice ahead of the movie that says 'This movie is PG. Can you read? You are a Parent. Do you understand what Guidance is? Or are you just another stupid toddler who thinks they're an adult simple because they've grown older and, unfortunately, have developed fully-functioning sexual organs?

Not many people know this. -- (Terry Pratchett, alt.fan.pratchett) 1) "These people were not only cheering, they were throwing flowers and hats. The hats were made of stone, but the thought was there." -- Life among the primitive Discworld tribes (Terry Pratchett, Eric) While working his way along a wall he came to a huge door, which artistically portrayed a group of prisoners apparently being given a complete medical check-up [footnote: From a distance it did, anyway. Close to, no]. -- Rincewind visits the Tezumen tribe (Terry Pratchett, Eric) - "There's a door" - "Where does it go?" - "It stays where it is, I think." -- (Terry Pratchett, Eric) The gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is so important to shoot missionaries on sight. -- (Terry Pratchett, Eric) "You mean mysterious ancient races of Amazonian princesses who subject all male prisoners to strange and exhausting progenitative rites?" said Eric, his glasses beginning to fog. -- (Terry Pratchett, Eric) The consensus seemed to be that if really large numbers of men were sent to storm the mountain, then enough might survive the rocks to take the citadel.

This started off at WeBoB on books people are currently reading and lead onto e-reading ............. Regarding e-readers and pdf support http://www.pcpro.co.uk/blogs/2010/09/29/amazon-kindle-vs-sony-reader-touch-how-do-they-handle-pdfs/ They both can do it but as you see from the above article Sony does it much better. Another review, possibly the best of the three http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2010/10/02/kindle-3-vs-sony-prs-650-with-video-review/ From another review: The downside is Amazon is extremely tight with its DRM restrictions. The most popular, open format for ebooks is called EPUB, and uses the file extension .epub. Amazon doesn't sell books from its store in this format, preferring instead its own proprietary format, .azw, which won't work on other devices.

Very impressive. I will link this to WeBoB to see if any of our members are inspired : )

Nor me, or even Scott Boston!

I'll post that request to WeBoB : )

What about using Clash of Steel for your fix?
