HISTORIA DE UN LETRERO (THE STORY OF A SIGN)

LHC is out of order

http://www.tsr.ch/tsr/index.html?siteSect=200001&sid=9752554

The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) *a.k.a. Black Hole Maker
started out so well, that the scientists could actually not believe it.

Now about 10 days into operation the LHC is 'kaputt' for at least 2 months. [...]

Septembre 15th ... Pink Floyd In Mourning. Richard Wright is dead.

				Time (Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour) Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say. By Pink Floyd. From The Dark side of the Moon album

How the sun really works.

Our sun hasn't produced many spots these days as shown in the post below.
The sun, our star.
Maybe you want to know more about it.
And more about SUN SPOTS... even though they seem to keep puzzling the top rank scientists.

So I thought you'd be interested in watching this video. Enjoy!

Is she the next U.S. vice-president?

From a former U.S. president.

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.

-Harry S. Truman, 33rd US president (1884-1972)
