Re: I told you so....
"The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, the biggest U.S. oil import
terminal, stopped unloading cargoes from tankers at noon New Orleans
time yesterday, spokesman Mark Bugg said. The port's onshore
facilities, where crude is stored and dispatched to pipelines, may be
shut tomorrow, he said.
"The port is about 20 miles off the Louisiana coast and handles about
1 million barrels of crude oil a day, or 11 percent of U.S. imports.
It consists of mooring buoys, platforms and pipelines. Unloading of a
tanker carrying west African crude oil was stopped earlier yesterday,
Bugg said."

Phoenix Masonry
"We believe that Freemasonry recognizes that times do change and we must grow with them. Our roots are firmly planted in the Renaissance of the Dark Ages, but its branches extend into the future. That future is one of technology, science, literature and music and is a course we as Phoenixmasons (e-Masons) are committed to shine 'further Light' upon. We believe in those solemn obligations taken at our sacred altar to provide for the less fortunate, exemplify patriotism, and perform the duties of citizenship. Now, let us enjoy true fellowship attending this electronic Research Society while practicing its principles, tenets and beliefs; ever-remembering that it is the shared synergy of Brotherly Love and affection that heals us both physically and spiritually." Interesting take on the old style of Masonry, as I understand it from the outside. I've had a sneaking suspicion that Masonry has become Moribund... Perhaps these "e masons" will build a new future for the Craft...

You know, compared to this patent on a stick, the pen mentioned earlier sounds brilliant.

liveplasma music, movies, search engine and discovery engine
Interesting "relationship engine." You type in a movie or band that you like, and a "mind map" style chart is created, showing similar movies or bands, and how much alike they are to what you put in first. liveplasma music, movies, search engine and discovery engine

Ummmm.... Okay, if you say so.
The Statesman: "The main drawback of fountain pen was that the hands get inked during writing by fountain pen. He said that he was working as a Pescar (clerk) at Narsinghpur Tahsil under Cuttack district in 1974. His clothes and hands are inked due to leakage of ink from his pen.
Then he decided his new invention to use bamboo stick made pen in his official work.
He brought a bamboo twig of half feet length and made it separate by cutting into two pieces. Then he placed a ball pen refill on the gap of the twig and bounded this twig by two or three plastic rubber to make it tight. He uses one bamboo twig made pen for 6 to 8 months.
Mr. Behera says that now he is using this pen in his official work. He says that he started this pen by the help of using only 25 paisa for purchasing refill but he is spending only Rs1 to Rs. 2 for the said pen .He says that this pen is unbreakable. "

Can I be forgiven for thinking that Rachel Weisz is proof that goddesses walk among us, incarnate? I just watched a flick called Constantine, and it would have been a waste of my time except that I got to watch Ms. Weisz for two hours. Wow. Yahoo! Image Search Results for Rachel Weisz
