Yes! Some companies are understanding what the market wants.

Many people do not realize the effect Thorium nuclear reactors will have. It is a cheap energy source which could really boost the American economy. I find it pathetic that many entrenched powers are really resistant to this because it hits their wallets. This has the potential to affect everyone's lives in the United States and the world. Norway will likely be successful in their efforts for Thorium power generation. India is also experimenting with Thorium but they are very far behind Norway.

Norway is running working a Thorium nuclear reactor now. Read the below article: Thorium nuclear reactor trial begins, could provide cleaner, safer, almost-waste-free energy | ExtremeTech

I wanted to spread information about Thorium. Knowledge is power. If enough people know about it something could get done in the future.

One point also the video did not make is Uranium has to go through quite the painstaking refinement process to be used in a nuclear reactor. Thorium does not have to go through very much refinement as Uranium to be used to generate power.

That is horrible Irish Colleen. The Thorium waste does need to be handled properly to insure incidents like this do not happen. I hope the company was sued and destroyed for doing this irresponsible damage.

I have been studying Thorium. There is so much potential in this power source. We have a plentiful source of Thorium in the United States. Uranium nuclear reactors are much harder to run and far more dangerous than Thorium nuclear reactors. Thorium reactors could produce energy that could be cheaper than coal power plants and produce zero air emissions. These power plants produce about 3% of the waste of a nuclear light water reactor of the same power and much of this "waste" can be extracted and sold within 10 years. Moreover, this waste need only be contained from the environment for 300 years, a far less daunting task than the 300,000 years required for todays nuclear waste.

Marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman. It can also be a covenant with God if you will allow Him in to the marriage. Don't go for a big wedding if you cannot afford it. Starting out a marriage with a lot of debt is not wise.

This will eventually turn into this in the United States if it is not stopped: Evangelist Arrested in Scotland for Preaching That Homosexuality Is a Sin An American preacher serving on a week-long mission trip in Scotland was reportedly arrested Wednesday for openly preaching that homosexuality is a sin. Former Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Sheriff Tony Miano Was Arrested in Scotland for Preaching That Homosexuality Is a Sin Tony Miano’s legal problems began when he delivered generalcomments about immorality during an outdoor sermon. He spoke about adultery, promiscuity and — homosexuality, The Christian Post reported. It was this latter issue that ended up landing Miano, who once served as Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff, in hot water. As he was preaching, a woman who disagreed with his message yelled out that she has a gay son and threatened to call police on Miano and Pastor Josh Williamson, another preacher who accompanied him. “Tony wasn’t focusing just on homosexual practice — it was about all sin,” Williamson said in a statement distributed by the Christian Legal Centre, a legal group based in London. “A woman was yelling at him and her friend noticed we were filming the preaching, so she ran up to me and tried to smash my camera.” The woman then made good on her promise and called the police. When Scottish authorities arrived, they reportedly arrested Miano on the charge of “breach of peace with ‘homophobic’ aggravation.” He was detained after a police officer questioned the woman about what had unfolded, according to the Christian Legal Centre, though police reportedly didn’t ask for his side of the story. The pastor, who pleaded not guilty, was later released on bail and is expected to show up to court on April 22, though he is permitted to return to his home in the U.S. in the mean time.

You still have a computer PrisonChaplain that has the Windows XP operating system on it? If you do that is one old machine.

When I read this article I thought to myself: "How does something like this happen in America? It is wretched and awful." I hope the police involved and the police chief who defended these officers were fired. This is an absolute abuse of authority.

Someone else said it and I agree. The next Microsoft C.E.O. will have to slash and burn when he comes in. He needs to be totally ruthless if Microsoft is to thrive starting with a total reset of this ill-conceived common platform approach for personal computers. Sales in the Windows 8 personal computer market are a failure as they should be with an operating system that is just not good.

You are the uncommon one Pam. I hope Windows 8 dies a horrible, painful death with several large holes in it. Windows 7 is one of my favorite operating systems. I also really like the Linux Mint version 13 operating system.

I found the below article written January 20th, 2014: Microsoft's woes continue to mount as one of its most important customers—Hewlett Packard—is bringing back Windows 7. The move is one of the most prominent rejections of Microsoft's Windows 8 strategy to date, and shows just how badly the personal computer industry is faring. The Verge noted Hewlett Packard's move, reporting that the company was emailing customers with the news that "Windows 7 is back," accompanied by promotional material on the HP website saying that Windows 7 is "back by popular demand." That demand is so popular, HP will give you up to $150 off the price of your PC if you'll only, please, choose Windows 7, giving proof to the old adage that companies discount things that are in high demand. Or something. Hewlett Packard's rejection of Windows 8 is so profound that you can only find mention of it under customizable options. This isn't just a rejection of Windows 8—more on that below—it shows how troubled the entire PC paradigm is. Windows personal computer sales are falling, and faced with that reality, HP's solution is to try and turn the clock back to a four year old operating system that Microsoft has done its best to pretend is no longer relevant.

DEMING, New Mexico — A New Mexico man will receive a $1,600,000 settlement after police inappropriately forced him to undergo three enemas, a colonoscopy and other anal procedures, the American Bar Association reported. The city of Deming and Hidalgo County got a search warrant to authorize the examination of David Eckert after he was pulled over for failing to yield to a stop sign when exiting a parking lot in January of 2013, ABA reported.

I have read about these types of cards. I do not like them because someone could potentially bump into you and steal information off the card since you are no longer required to slide the card through a reader. Mere contact with the card enables the exchange of information. This is a good idea for people who are identity thieves. They will love it.

Eighty-six mile per hour winds are high velocity, but not enough to do damage like this in my opinion. Something was not built right if the whole structure fell under these conditions.

I would encourage you to study Doctrine and Covenants section 8 and the below scriptures: Moroni chapter 7 16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God. 17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.

I liked this one. It is funny:

With only 38 percent of gravity we have here on Earth one would get very weak on Mars. My guess is they will wear weighted vests and weighted wrist bands. That would be the least of my worries when compared to running out of breathable air.

After reading through this thread does anyone feel like singing: Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, The mulberry bush, The mulberry bush . . . I also feel like we are riding on a Merry-Go-Round.

They will have to wear weights all the time while they are on Mars. Mars only has 33% of the gravity that Earth has. Mars is very cold and has a thin atmosphere. Likely all the colonists will die from either running out of air, water or food. I think the mission to colonize Mars is bound to fail. I hope I am wrong.
