| 435 - Clean Coal? |
| Wednesday, December 24, 2008 |
(CNN) -- A wall holding back 80 acres of sludge from a coal plant in central Tennessee broke this week, spilling more than 500 million gallons of waste into the surrounding area.
The sludge, a byproduct of ash from coal combustion, was contained at a retention site at the Tennessee Valley Authority's power plant in Kingston, about 40 miles east of Knoxville, agency officials said.
The retention wall breached early Monday, sending the sludge downhill and damaging 15 homes. All the residents were evacuated, and three homes were deemed uninhabitable, a TVA spokesman told CNN. |

Amazon has a system online that pays anyone who signs up (I have just to check it out) to do work for people who need temp work. Generally these fall under two groups: very tedious tasks, or scams. For the real non scam work, you may have to read through a long document, for example, and copy certain sections. For the scams, you are asked to search for a term on ebay or online and somehow this helps people. I didnt bother to figure it out, probably it works by increasing page ranks or something along those lines. Most jobs pay a terrible, very small amount, or if they do pay well they are hard to complete or would take weeks to do. Anyway, some people do it. How much you can make if you are dedicated?
I suspect that most people only earn what I get from google adsense: that is to say, a pittance apportioned out in monthly installments of 1/12th of a pittance. |

| 433 - Weight Watchers Dishes (1970s) |

 This is hardly spectacular...  Those eggs are just floating on the fluff.
 Mmm fish balls. Love any food in the ball format. Lowest surface area to volume ratio... easy to roll off the plate and into your morbidly obese mouth...
 Italian style! With red sauce. Looks like a burn victim.
 This has to be the low end of the set. Limp, bruised celery is as palatable as feces. And now it also comes in log form!  What no crab juice? Either this is human meat from a white dude, or it is a dish that can trace its origins back to the Caucasus region. Probably tastes good. |

| 427 - Comment Auth Codes |
| Sunday, December 07, 2008 |
As a constant reader and browser and surfer of blogs, we find ourselves coming across many words hidden in the annoying Google comments authorization. Here are some examples of words we have found, and then Google image searches that match. We have some pron, malic acid, colic, Lil Wayne and his lamp, and others. We would love for any interesting ones (perhaps, nay certainly more interesting than ours) that you may find during your blog work. |

| 424 - Inside an engine |
| Tuesday, December 02, 2008 |
"Piston, valves and spark plug all clearly show that simple action to make engines run. High pressure and miniature temperature resistant 1000fps camera was used."
I am personally shocked at just how much vibration is going on in there. And at such a high rate - 100s of hz, far faster than one piston cycle. |
