Bosnian state television has broadcast several video clips it says show war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic living freely in Serbia despite genocide charges filed against him by the Hague-based UN tribunal. The airing on Sarajevo-based FTV television, and on the Internet video-sharing website YouTube, may have seriously jeopardized Serbia's chances of joining the European Union. The airing on Bosnian television coincided with an official visit by Serbia's foreign and defense ministers on Thursday. On Monday, EU foreign ministers are due to discuss Belgrade's progress in cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal. Serbia's minister in charge of cooperation with the tribunal, Rasim Ljajic, told journalists at a hastily-arranged news conference that the footage was old.

Johanna Ganthaler a retiree from the Bolzano-Bozen province, was on vacation in Brazil with her husband Kurt when the pair miraculously missed the doomed flight to Paris.

It seems just like a short while ago that ET began, yet it is 4 years.
Please share your thoughts on and experiences with ET. :-)
For that and more, i'm very appreciative of all the energy that goes into keeping this site functioning and growing.
i even feel i know some of the people here who post regularly, including those i do know. i've even learned how to interpret graphs at a deeper level.
What's more, i sense a chance that the debate here can indeed evolve to being a focal point for political/economic/social discussion in Europe. From personal experience, i know some shakers and moobers do read the site.
There are key people in the German wind industry who know me for pointing out very early the economic trajectory which has now happened, while all i did was parrot what i learned here.
i am particularly grateful for being allowed to expound on the importance of two-horned unicorns, one-horned cows, and the strange phenomena of windmills causing the death of Taiwanese-speaking goats.
As the dear leader would say, ET was born under a good sign.

I'm one of the few people who can practically prove they're not the same person they were when they joined, but an awful lot of the learning curve came from here. What I like is feeling ahead of the news, I'm not reacting to what I read in the papers, I'm anticipating it. It's quite addictive really and it's all down to you guys.
It's been emotional. keep to the Fen Causeway
Wow, this is strange.... I joined on the first day....it's been four years already?
Ugh, I'm slipping back into the depression from aging again, seems like just a year or two. "Schiller sprach zu Goethe, Steck in dem Arsch die Flöte! Goethe sagte zu Schiller, Mein Arsch ist kein Triller!"
A toast of thanks for the originators and those who have made this my one and only source. As Helen said, it is thrilling to be able to have a view over the horizon before it impels itself onto present time. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.

Now, if ET could only teach me to edit before I hit Poust Post. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
a huge props to all of you here who continue to make ET so interesting and amusing, especially fran for her diligence and generosity, and jerome for kicking the darn thing off!
and for all those doubters who said that the wind industry was just a windup (sic), read crazy horse and weep!
and to all the many great posters here, (no room to name them all), here's to another great year!

UNEMPLOYED workers who take advantage of an Assembly Government-backed training initiative aimed at combating the recession are likely to find their benefits cut, it has been revealed. Last night, serious concern was expressed about the lack of joined-up government that sees Welsh workers penalised for joining courses under the ReAct scheme... <snip> But even though workers have had their applications to join ReAct courses authorised by Careers Wales, some have been told that if they take up the offer of a place, they will find themselves disqualified from receiving state benefits.

It's total madness, but what do you expect of a government that has abandoned all pretence of giving a damn about anybody on less that £500kpa keep to the Fen Causeway
Now there is this scheme called the travel to interview scheme, which will pay your costs in attending interviews. so I go straight from the interview, to the jobcentre, talk to the people there about this who say that I actually have to go to my own office to claim, but it should be no problem.
I get back the next day, fill the forms in, only to get a phone call a couple of days later saying that I don't qualify seeing as I havent handed in the form ahead of the time of the interview. On the first appeal I was told that as the rail strike had been cancelled after i'd travelled, I should have stayed and visited my home office instead of travelling a day early.
the second appeal is working its way slowly through the system as we speak. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
As in Thomas More's Utopia, where the crapper is made of gold, there's a lot of backward that needs to be integrated into the coming JustSociety. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
