Russia's Aeroflot entices visitors with Moscow's cathedrals and nuclear missiles

Posters advertising Aeroflot's twice-a-day flights from Brussels to Moscow have appeared under the heading "Discover Russia" on the walls of the Belgian capital's Metro underground service.

Here is the poster:

The Telegraph claims that the missiles going down the street are nuclear ones, but what do you expect from them? Jeffrey Lewis following a careful analysis of the picture, taking into account a building under rennovation and the weather, concludes that it probably comes from the end of the Victory Day parade on 9 May 2012, and that, had the picture been taken a few minutes later, they would have captured some  SS-27s. But it wasn't, so all you see are short-range ballistic missiles, not nuclear-capable ICBMs.

Talking about pizza , the best pizza I eat was in Stockholm but some 40 years ago...made by Italians of course. Nowadays it is pretty hard to find really good pizza...especially not here in Australia. I had one pretty good few years ago in Melbourne again made by real Italian that did not even speak English (he came fresh from Italy). I simply hate Pizza Hut and similar.
As for Fish and cheeps they used to have good and cheap one in NZ but here I only really like it at one single take away on Gold Coast...

Ha'aretz has a PR piece for Scientology, claiming to be journalism.

The Jaffa neighbors of the legendary Alhambra Cinema rubbed their eyes in amazement last week at the sight of the gleaming white building in the heart of the sooty boulevard. The elegant theater, decorated with flags and blue ribbons, has now been opened to the general public after two years of renovation. In honor of the opening a crowd of about 2,000 Scientologists from 27 countries, including government officials and religious leaders, gathered there. At nightfall the name "Alhambra" was illuminated once again in the skies of the port city.

Last year, their coverage was more interesting.

Attorney Gur Finkelstein, who represents the Scientology Center in Israel, was detained several weeks ago for allegedly hiring this gang to supply him with weapons and  assist him in his own endeavors.

[...]

A string of high-profile crimes have been attributed to Finkelstein, include attempts  to burn down the Scientology Center, and also the assault and plot to assassinate the director of Tel Aviv's planning and construction department, Shoteh Hovel.

I remember one of the founding members (unfortunately, I don't remember his name) of Scientology from a course I took in the army. This guy was excited that I'd actually heard of his cult, so he told me lots about it (I didn't let on that I knew about it from Martin Gardiner....). He carried around with him a heavy book which he claimed was top secret, and kept repearing the Scientology axioms. My favorite: "The highest purpose in thls universe is the creation of an effect."

I enjoyed hanging up on my first political bullshitter of the season ... calling on behalf of President Obama ... CLICK!

Can someone suggest a Youtube video of a windmill that emphasizes the tremendous power involved? I'm thinking of something that has a loud "whoosh...whoosh...whoosh" as the blades go by, maybe with lots of subsonics that will rattle your false teeth.

The purpose is to support a "power and energy" section in an 8th grade class with the video, connecting the computer up to a suitably powerful amp/speaker combination and blowing the kids out of their seats, so to speak...

Well, it appears that soon to be Tropical Depression Isaac will move directly over Mountain Home, AR, dropping around 4" (~10cm) of rain and bringing winds of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts possible, but not likely, to 60 mph. I spent the afternoon battening down and bringing in. But I don't have any reason not to sleep in tomorrow, unless Isaac brings me a reason. From here it goes up into Missouri, exiting over St. Louis.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Never seen a bigger gang of clowns, con artists, bullshitters, and doofi gathered in one place than the GOP 2012 Tampa convention.

If they get a dead cat bounce out of this thing they're going to be REAL lucky.

Ever since I learnt about confirmation bias I've started seeing it everywhere
