Scales

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5z4Vs26-TI

There is something a little creepy about 'body farms,' where anthropologists study human decay. A properly done live-action Gantz would be messed up to say the least. EDIT: I spoke too soon. Hopefully these will be decent and paced right. http://www.nipponcinema.com/blog/2-live-action-gantz-movies-coming-in-2011/

If the gov had involvement with this Iranian nuclear scientist that was killed, then all I have to say is

Sherlock Holmes. I thought it was getting weird at first but the end made it for me.. its still not up to par with such Victorian epics as The Count of Monte Christo and Billy Madison.

I saw this awhile back, the 3D was really immersing. Though I think the plot and dialogue could have been better.

"Dude, try these nachos."

Yeah it seems pretty ridiculous on part of the energy companies.

For larger scale generators there are some issues. I posted a list I've compiled awhile back: http://www.detroitgothic.net/index.php?showtopic=32058 --- Another interesting thing on the topic of finance is the US's Cash for Clunkers program was originally a Chinese program, China has been moving away from US currency, and China is in need of steel.

I was looking into Wind Turbines awhile ago and compiled a list of stuff I found. This is for the large-scale turbines that are more likely to be a part of wind farms, I'm not sure how much smaller sizes would have the same effects. As more wind farms are probably going to be built, hopefully they can be built distanced enough from residential areas, but then there is still the bat problem. Windmill/Wind Turbine Explosion "The braking mechanism that limits the speed of the wind turbine broke during a storm in Denmark. This was the outcome. 02/22-2008. http://jp.dk/uknews/article1277616.ece Bonus info: -The tower of the mill was 60m high -Wind speed was probably around 30 m/s -You can see a truck at the base of the mill, but nobody was hurt. The mill had been evacuated 400m in each direction." --- Wind Turbine Syndrome Radio Interview - News Story - --- Wind Turbine Shadow Flicker and Noise, Byron Wisconsin --- The general consensus is that the death count for birds isn't that bad. But bats are another story as they are the first line of defense against mosquitoes. Whereas birds die from direct contact, bats die because the change in air pressure causes their lungs to explode. According to this discovery article its ten bats for every bird death caused by wind turbines. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/08/25/wind-turbine-bats.html --- Turbine Ice/Snow Buildup

Sadness, happiness, haziness, 'its gonna get late'-ness.

Snow! Shovel! Go! (Because the alternative is washing dishes.)

This is how Picard felt about it..
