So considering what Mr. Gates has done for Windows and computers, what does this say about the agricultural revolution he wants to lead in Africa?

Africa shall take over... soon. The HQ shall be located in Denmark

Maybe you won't be able to buy potatoes without also buying a bundle of spinach, pineapples and celery.

Better, you will have to renew your licence to buy those each year.

Take that Dad round 3

I'd been tracking this puppy from the surface combat we had at Marcus Island. Most of Dad's e-mails to me nowadays include one obscenity or another

Sub attack near Wake Island at 82,63

Japanese Ships
SS RO-34

Allied Ships
CV Lexington, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage
DD Flusser
DD Maury, heavy damage

A RO boat no less.

KABLAMMO

Next day I managed to attack the port and get a bomb hit - AMMO EXPLOSION on Lex too. Still no sink of her sinking.

I am conducting a sneaky/risky operation with my remnant KB. They will leave Tokyo soon for Mariana's and then east to Wake to conduct a hopeful surprise attack on the place.

It seems to have worked for Mynok...but then maybe it's some sneaky Martian trick.

It stops being news when it is no longer the number one factor impacting the economy. It could be news for quite a while.

He's being sneaky, and just pointing to another online host.

Bruce, you could probably upload your images to someplace like image shack, and then post links to them.

Maybe you should teach Gem how to do it.

Bruce is a NASA engineer. Isn't that a requirement for the job?

This has all the feel of the dotCom and refinancing craziness of the last 10 years.

I whole heartedly agree that there is quite an oil frenzy these days. Where I think this differs, is that I don't think there is as much of a bubble in oil as the old dot-com days. I personally believe that less of this price runup in oil is caused by speculation than congress or the public wants to believe, and more of it is caused by a good old fashioned increase in demand.

For asparagus lovers Germany hosts a number of Spargelfests. You can find entire menu's based around asparagus/Spargel. One unusual recipe I adopted is a leek and asparagus soup with liver dumplings, very tasty. Plus since the Spargelfest usually occurs in April/May you can usually find deals since tourist season isn't in full swing

I thought this and then a friend of mine who is relatively high up in 'big oil'.....said it was all 'Wall Street spec.'
