The Sun is really SCARY, but Scarier without it!

I'll get back in about next Fri COB.

Head cheese - Head cheese is in fact not a cheese, but meat pieces from the head of a calf or pig (sometimes a sheep or cow),
in aspic, with onion, black pepper, allspice, bayleaf, salt and or vinegar. It may also include meat from the feet, tongue and heart.
It is usually eaten cold or at room temperature as a luncheon meat. It is sometimes also known as souse meat, particularly if pickled with vinegar.
Historically meat jellies were made of the cleaned (all organs removed) head of the animal, which was simmered to produce stock,
a peasant food made since the Middle Ages. When cooled, stock made from meat congeals because of the natural gelatin found in the meat.
The aspic may need additional gelatin in order to set properly.

When I worked in retail, this stuff sold all the time. I'd have to have already eaten it before I knew what it was.
Sausage seems so much more palatable.

Uh-oh. Will Goldman kill the dollar too?

J.P. Morgan's hunt for Afghan gold.
A team of bankers starts to tap the country's vast mineral riches, with help from the Pentagon.

FORTUNE -- Qara Zaghan, Afghanistan:
The four Black Hawk helicopters sweep down on this remote river valley, flying fast and single file.
Snow covers the mountains' peaks, but the lower slopes look like rust -- dry, rocky, and bare.
As we bank around the river bend, we see our first flash of green in the fields below
and then the rectangular mud huts of the village, where hundreds of Afghans mass to greet us.

Bennie Bank - open for bidness!

more security issues:

Careful! Converting currency on Google can lead to malware

The folks from Sophos Labs report that there appear to be a great deal of malicious links among the results for currency conversion-themed searches on Google.

We tested out the example they provided — a query which attempted to convert 215 Euro to dollars — as well as several similar conversions and found that the results were just as Sophos Labs described them:

A quick search [through the results] finds a number of other webpages which don't just use keywords related to currency conversion, but also other terms - "dirty sexist jokes", for instance.

What is occurring here is SEO poisoning, where bad guys create poisoned webpages related to certain search terms in the hope that you will come across them and infect your computer.

A little detour on the way back home: Close enough to hear the blades rotate!
It was awesome. This is serious business. The installation with the structure in progress was #303 or 304.
The highest # site I saw was 306.
Enjoy.

crews: awesome pictures ! When I was driving through Iowa a couple of years ago I passed several wind-farms; pulled off the highway to watch awhile. A Very Long tractor- flat top trailer rig had passed me someplace in Missouri, carrying an enormous tube - I realized at this time it had to have been one of the blades...
Thanx for taking the detour, with your camera at hand!
-how far from The River?

Drag the little gold man on top of the zoom slider to the top of the "A" balloon, move it around a little until the pic of "John Day Highway / Rhea Road" comes up, them drop him.
then take the "N" on the directional circle and drag it around to the bottom of the circle.
That's where the sign was, with the wind turbines on the hillside. You can do a 360 to see the panorama.
For the river, just click the " - " on the zoom menu about 7 times and you will see the Columbia.

Good article:
Multi-megawatt Wind Turbines

Posted on 17 October 2008.

When considering wind power, cost and impact are major considerations – wind power is relatively competitive based on cost. But how many wind power stations can you build? Finding sites and establishing transmission corridors is most of the battle with wind power, so the bigger the unit, the better. Still the scale of these machines is daunting – many of these wind power stations have total heights exceeding 500 or even 600 feet. By contrast, the Statue of Liberty only measures 305 feet from the water to the tip of her torch. How many of these units would replace a 1.0 gigawatt nuclear power plant?
At 5.0 megawatts each, and a 25% yield, you would need 800 of these machines. At 2.5 megawatts each, you would need 1,600 of them – that is a very, very large wind farm, on-shore or offshore. If they are placed on a grid a safe distance apart, say 500 meters (remember, they are up to 200 meters tall), then 1,600 of these units would consume an area of 200 square kilometers. At 5.0 megawatts per unit, but 1,000 meters between units, a 800 unit windfarm (25% yield) with generating capacity equivalent to a 1.0 gigawatt nuclear power plant would require 800 square kilometers, over 300 square miles. Each of these units would be nearly twice the height of the Statue of Liberty.
