re: #31 buzzsawmonkey

Since she has insect wings, you can still strike a bee attitude.

bee-attitudes by Rg Gregory
in the shadow
of the flower
is the sting

the bee driven by need
uses its painful gift
to keep its sense of beauty
in proportion

it does its job with
a thoughtless dedication
its honeyed world
excites no inner space

bees are not poets
who wade through words
with too much brain
around their ankles

each itching bee-part
is attuned
to a cosmic web
each buzz miraculous

flowers put powder
on their private parts
to call the bees in
it seems a good game

much fumbling and the bee
goes home to mother
rewards ripple outwards
to many dripping tongues

bees hate anything
that gets in the way
the bee-world is exclusive
aliens - keep out

bees live on a knife-edge
between honey
and a ripped-out sting
violation propels them

in the shadow
of the nectar
is the horror

Homemade balute eggs?

BGU invention would help deny rogue states nuclear weapons

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev engineers have developed a practical technique to "denature" plutonium created in large nuclear reactors and make it unsuitable for a dozen countries that are building reactors - mostly Arab or Islamic states - to produce nuclear arms.

However, it will probably not be a significant deterrent against Iran, which has invested in other options as well, such as centrifuges and small reactors designed for plutonium production.

Russia claims it is supplying Iran with what it needs to build a reactor - including nuclear fuel - for "peaceful purposes" including power production, but does not want that "bandit" country to develop nuclear weapons.

The Beersheba researchers, headed by Prof. Yigal Ronen, think their work could help "de-claw" some countries if nuclear fuel producers - the US, Russia, Germany, France and Japan - agree to put the denaturing additive they have proven effective into all plutonium.

However, the BGU nuclear engineer told The Jerusalem Post on Monday that Iran had two other options - the centrifuges like those Iraq had, and small plutonium reactors.

"Our work could solve only one part of the problem. The reality is more complicated, and denaturing is not relevant for Iran's other options. Iran would be able to continue to threaten the world with the other two options if the world doesn't stop it," he explained.

"When you purchase a nuclear reactor from one of the five countries, it also provides the nuclear fuel for the reactor. Thus if the five agree to insert the additive into fuel for countries now developing nuclear power - such as Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Qatar, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Yemen - they will have to use it for peaceful purposes rather than warfare," said Ronen.

Ronen, who worked on the project with Dr. Eugene Shwageraus and master's student Leonid Golyand, was told last month that in May he would receive an honorary doctorate from the Russian Academy of Sciences - the highest honor awarded in Russia to foreign scientists - for his "outstanding scientific achievements."

Hey, this seems a good thread to post:

My coworker who was stabbed made it to work today. He seems fine. The story was rather interesting though on how and why he got stabbed:

He and this ex-girlfriend split up on Wednesday last week, and he had asked her to allow him to come over and get his stuff at the apartment. She said sure, just give me an hour to get a drink and hang out with some friends, and then I'll be the apartment.

So an hour later he calls to make sure it's still okay, and it is. He goes over with a friend, and she shows up, completely smashing drunk. She is upset that he brought a friend with him, and she's yelling, "You didn't say anyone was coming along!" So she tells him she can't do it right now, he has to leave, etc. Fine.

He left and he and his friend went over to the friend's place to hang out. Not five minutes later she calls back and says, "Well, I did promise I would let you get your stuff, so I'll let you come back over." So he heads back over. Alone.

She has gotten his stuff together and bagged it up, and he really appreciated that. But as he's trying to take the bags down to his car she won't let him out of the room. They argue, she's blocking the door, and then she grabs him by his dog tags and is trying to keep him in the room. He didn't want to fight her, but she has military training and martial arts training. So he pushes her back and away, and finally she seems to leave him alone. She leaves the room, and he goes back to getting his stuff.

Then she came back, a minute later, with this 6" curved blade and starts fighting with him again. He blocked her arms but she did get one shot in with the blade around to the back of his shoulder. He didn't think it had punctured the skin because he had his heavy coat on and a hoody sweatshirt. He pushed her off again, and then she immediately changed her tune: "Get out of here. I don't ever want to see you again" and all sorts of swearing.

But as soon as he got outside the apartment (and did not get any more of his stuff!) he realized he couldn't stand back up after bending over to pick up a bag. He drove over to his friend's house and said, as soon as he got in, "Call the police, call an ambulance, call my mother, the effin' b***h just stabbed me."

He let me see the place where the stab would was, and it was fairly small; just an inch in size. It's just that the blade went deep enough to get his lung. Four stitches.

There is one good thing out of this: the gal did not try to lie her way out of it. Her story and his story are almost identical with just a few small details different. She very clearly told the police that my friend was not attacking her.

re: #180 snowcrash

Since the thread is open, I want to post my new favorite Obama fact check site from the St. Petersburg Times. They compiled 500 promises Obama made during his campaign and then track progress. Easy to navigate with different ways to browse. The Obameter is funny too.

All politicians over-promise, but Obama is the all time champion. I cannot recall another politician promising to part the oceans and heal the earth. Even Clinton did not go that far......NOW, the question is, will he get called on any of that? I doubt he will....not from his adoring public or the MSM

And I don't believe in Victoria's Secret. Seems to me that the Secret's rather well exposed and readily available to the public. Some "secret".

And you have to admit, those models sure do put a lot in plain sight.

re: #170 Opinionated

DOW is down over 300.

When oh when will a network news anchor begin the program by mentioning that since Obama has been President the market is down 30%?

That is stunning! Especially when DOW down 20% is considered a crash.

Look at the bright side, if the market continues to fall we won't have any wealth left for Obama to spread to his supporters.

Egyptian president to open Gaza donors' conference

Mubarak will give a speech at the opening session of the Gaza donor's conference, calling for international efforts to raise funds for the rebuilding of Gaza battered by Israel's 22-day onslaught.

Representatives of more than 70 countries and regions as well as international organization gathered at the Egyptian resort to attend the meeting.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are expected to address the inaugural session.

According to UN reports, more than 14,000 homes, 68 government buildings, and 31 offices of nongovernmental organizations were destroyed during the recent Israeli attacks against Gaza.

OT: If anyone has not had a chance to read the American Thinker article in the spin-off links, the strategy of the manufactured crisis, please do.

Obviously, we all come here, and all have the background of knowledge regarding some interests behind the scenes, but taking the time to read the consolidation of it, is pretty huge.

Seriously, take time to read if nothing more than to reacquaint yourself with it.

I don't begrudge her at all. But I do think her Dad is insane. Would you let your 15 year-old daughter date a 20 year-old?
