Let me start off by saying that this is a site/page that I have been working on for a customer.

Now that that is out of the way, take a look and let me know what you think. I will have more and better pictures when the next batch comes in.

Planning on adding a page on actual use with pix and graphs and such like too.

Back to the hunt…

SPIEGEL Interview with African Economics Expert:

SPIEGEL Interview with African Economics Expert: “For God’s Sake, Please Stop the Aid!” – International – SPIEGEL ONLINE – News

Interesting view. And very correct. When the aid stops the folks who have come to depend on it will starve. The ones put out of business because they can’t compete with free aid products end up trying to find another way of making a living and often starve. Interference in the guise of Aid of any kind should STOP now! Let the folks closest to the problem figure out how to correct it. Many are self correcting.

As has been shown here in the US Aid breeds both armys of bureaucrats as well and dependents. It makes it hard if not impossible to escape… Teach – YES. Give – NO

Nanotubes inspire new technique for healing broken bones
Bone tissue is a natural composite of collagen fibers and hydroxyapatite crystals. Haddon and his coworkers have demonstrated for the first time that nanotubes can mimic the role of collagen as the scaffold for growth of hydroxyapatite in bone.

Sounds like with this and a bit of super glue, you’d have the sci-fi orthostat glue…

Scientists find evidence of catastrophic sand avalanches, sea level changes in Gulf of Mexico

Scientists find evidence of catastrophic sand avalanches, sea level changes in Gulf of Mexico
An international team of marine research scientists working for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) have found new evidence that links catastrophic sand avalanches in deep Gulf waters to rapid sea level changes. By analyzing downhole measurements and freshly retrieved sediment cores, IODP scientists are reconstructing the history of a basin formed approximately 20,000 years ago, when sea level fell so low that the Texas shoreline shifted almost 100 miles to the south. The data are important to reconstructing climate change history and gathering insights about the development and placement of natural resources, particularly gas and oil deposits.

Stuff has gotta go somewhere. And this is the same thing that is happening with the crap that we humans have been throwing into the rivers and streams too. All of that lovely chemical plant discharge, among other equally pleasant things…

Bread

By , July 7, 2005 3:20 pm

We have had a run of problems with bread lately. First had a bad bag of flour. Then problems with yeast that I think had gotten hot in a warehouse somewhere. Then the past month it just wouldn’t work right for me or Cat. Finely got the book on the old bread machine out and it mentioned over 80 degrees F. you need to use cold water from the fridge and cut back on the yeast. So here is the result:

Cat\'s best loaf of bread!

Just about finished it off at lunch. She has another one in the machine now so will see how it does today.

Hoping that these and kits like them become more available here in the us. The link at Treehugger goes to the manufacturer in China which only sells wholesale in containers of 300 pieces. Interesting product thought. Someone in comments said they have been showing up on Ebay in single piece lots. Gonna have to check.

Boing Boing: MSFT acquires spyware firm, changes antispyware app to ignore its products

I gotta wonder about people and companies that continue to support a corporation that is so big that it has no idea what all it’s divisions are doing.

Or I suspect that this is the work of some isolated group within the megasauar rather than an overall desire by the powers than be to once again be castigated and badmouthed by the blogsphere.

On the other hand it is Microsoft and from some of his recent public faux pas Steve Balimer Ballmer may just be as stupid as he sounds.
