Free gin-and-tonics top Freddie’s Ashes rewards. 14/09/2005. ABC News Online
As dawn broke over London, Flintoff was sipping his umpteenth gin-and-tonic, puffing on a giant cigar and telling anyone who would listen just how much the Ashes triumph meant to him.

“What is most exciting about it is that I’ll be awarded the freedom of Preston [his home town in Lancashire, northern England],” he said.

“That means I can drive a flock of sheep through the town centre, drink for free in no less than 64 pubs and get a lift home with the police when I become inebriated.

“What more could you want?”

been a long few days and I am paying for it today. did yesterday too but about this time of day started getting a bit of energy and used it to add the last second floor joists into place and then put several 2x6x16s up as flooring. guess I am paying for that and the digging and moving of the other 2x6x16s from the other side to here by the trailer. counted 65 left before starting yesterday and still have 15 + left to move over here. should be enough to finish the building anyway.

having to use them for flooring as all the plywood is heading south or the contractors have bought it up and won’t sell it.

more when I have the energy.

Treehugger: Extreme Gas-Saving Car Modification

—

The picture is cute. Actual info is non-existant.

Where was the picture taken?

And by whom?

Who built the one horsepower car?

Is there a link to another story about it that I am missing?

I expect better from Treehugger…

Description of Selected News
Scientists discover how fish oil protects the brain WASHINGTON (Health Day News) — Louisiana State University scientists say they have discovered how the fatty acids found in fish oil help protect the human brain from the type of cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Their study shows that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid found in coldwater fish such as mackerel, sardines and salmon, reduces levels of a protein known to cause damaging plaques in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. What’s more, the researchers discovered that a derivative of DHA, which they dubbed “neuroprotectin D1” (NPD1), is made in the human brain. That natural substance plays a key role, too, in protecting the brain from cell death, the study showed.

Treehugger: Low Tech Alternative To Glass-Door Fridge

—

Interesting. And certainly low tech.

I want a fridge that has drawers instead of shelves and a door. Also going to try the low cost conversion of a chest freezer to a fridge.

The link is not the point. The story is the point. Not sure I like the epoxy or acrylic finish needing to be renewed every year either…

Sounds extremely reasonable to me. The poor lived in the lowest areas and are the ones it is hardest to get to leave an area. This way they are all gone with only a few thousand dead.

Imagine that! They don’t want the folks they have incarcerated inside to have ANY news. Keep them in the dark and they will be more passive. Let them see just how BAD the gov has screwed up on this one and things just might get out of hand…

My take on this is – Fire that sucker up and run it illegal…

The Blog | Dan Pasternack: Sorry, But I Have To Vent | The Huffington Post
If FEMA wants to run damage control, Mr. Brown should ask the press not to run pictures of him on TV and in the papers. The dead are our countrymen. It’s seeing those responsible running for cover that is indecent.

—

AMEN!

I think it’s past time for a criminal investigation into Shrub and ALL of his buds and their appointments. These people aren’t competent to run a lemonade stand without supervision and yet they are in charge and destroying our country and so many are passively sitting back and letting them. Time to resume control of our lives and country boys and girls…
