The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corribsos.com/&quot;&gt;Shell to Sea&lt;/a&gt; campaign is trying to prevent the installation of a Shell gas terminal and pipeline. What is interesting is that the Choctaw previously donated money to Ireland during the famine. They donated $710 to Ireland in 1847 for famine relief. They have now donated the equvalent in current monies to the campaign - $8000. Ireland recently donated to the Choktaw following Hurrincane Katrina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gas pipeline will destroy local natural habitats. It is also very unsafe as the pipeling will be extremely high pressure and is going through bogland which is prone to landslides. A possible terrorist target also given the Irish governments blank check to the US to use Shannon as a stop enroute to Iraq.&lt;br /&gt;No doubt the recently elected Green Party will do something about this - or will they just continue to capitulate to Bertie and Co as they have done thus far!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.corribsos.com/index.php?id=1622&quot;&gt;Do You Want To Know More?&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://shanepbk.blogspot.com/2007/11/choctaw-native-american-community.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ShanePBK)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30636911.post-7768753866404659736</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Nov 2007 22:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-03T22:58:06.460+00:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">game</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Halo 3</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">parody</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">xbox 360</category><title>Blame Halo3</title><description>&lt;object width=&quot;414&quot; height=&quot;342&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://embed.break.com/MzkwNTY1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://embed.break.com/MzkwNTY1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;414&quot; height=&quot;342&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font size=1&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.break.com/index/blame-halo-3.html&quot;&gt;Blame Halo 3&lt;/a&gt; - Watch more &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.break.com/&quot;&gt;free videos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description><link>http://shanepbk.blogspot.com/2007/11/blame-halo3.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ShanePBK)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30636911.post-9059940125120417742</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-11T16:32:26.500+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Aspartame</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Health</category><title>Aspartame - Ticking Timebomb?</title><description>&lt;object width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;325&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/ELgW4KBY-o4&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;wmode&quot; value=&quot;transparent&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/ELgW4KBY-o4&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; wmode=&quot;transparent&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;325&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although it is a Fox report it is worth viewing.

I am shocked by the fact that new members of the EU are potentially going to host US missile silo bases on EU soil. It&#39;s a disgrace that these new members to the European Union are allowed to do such things without the possibility of being ejected from the EU. Already the CIA has had at least &lt;a href=&quot;http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/story?id=1375123&quot;&gt;two&lt;/a&gt; secret black-ops prisons in operation in Eastern Europe. In which most likely all manner of torture was being enacted on &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition&quot;&gt;renditioned&lt;/a&gt; prisoners. The two offending countries are Romania and Poland. There should be some penalties for these human rights violations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putin has &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20070602.wputin01/BNStory/International/home&quot;&gt;threatened&lt;/a&gt; to target Europe, potentially using nuclear missiles. He considers U.S. plans to build an eastern European anti-missile site to shoot down Iranian missiles a provocation aimed at Russia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe this is contrary to what Europe should stand for - i.e. free, just and democratic principles. Now these Eastern countries are also figuring on hosting these missile bases purely for financial gain.</description><link>http://shanepbk.blogspot.com/2007/06/putin-threatens-to-target-europe-with.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ShanePBK)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30636911.post-4128713481599615213</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 Jun 2007 14:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-06-03T15:46:54.418+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Manned Mission Mars</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mars</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Space Race</category><title>A New Space Race?</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gZVMEdcLvXA/RmLUVNbfbWI/AAAAAAAAAH8/yHjiuaU4YZs/s1600-h/mars.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gZVMEdcLvXA/RmLUVNbfbWI/AAAAAAAAAH8/yHjiuaU4YZs/s200/mars.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071849591219907938&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having been &lt;a href=&quot;http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn11758-nasa-denies-snubbing-russias-moon-offer.html&quot;&gt;allegedly&lt;/a&gt; been rebuffed by the US on their joining moon mission offer, Russia has &lt;a href=&quot;http://english.people.com.cn/200705/30/eng20070530_379330.html&quot;&gt;joined&lt;/a&gt; up with China to explore Mars. It seems this will mainly focus on the external Mars environment. Russia is also &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/05/12/europe/EU-GEN-Russia-Moon-Mission.php&quot;&gt;pushing&lt;/a&gt; for a manned mission to the Moon by 2015.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps all this news will not actually for tell the commencement of a new space race. 14 international space agencies have revealed a common vision for globally co-ordinated missions to the Moon and Mars. These nations are: &lt;br /&gt;ASI (Italy); BNSC (UK); CNES (France); CNSA (China); CSA (Canada); CSIRO (Australia); DLR (Germany); &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.esa.int&quot;&gt;ESA&lt;/a&gt; (European Space Agency); ISRO (India); JAXA (Japan); KARI (Republic of Korea); &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nasa.gov&quot;&gt;NASA&lt;/a&gt; (USA); NSAU (Ukraine); and Roscosmos (Russia). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have just launched a joint document entitled &quot;The Global Exploration Strategy: The Framework for Coordination.&quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noted in the document &quot;Sustainable space exploration is a challenge that no one nation can do on its own,&quot; but it does not actually mean there will be a single space program. It&#39;s said to me more a co-ordination mechanism whereby it is voluntary and non binding. We shall wait and see if this heralds a brand new direction in human space co-operation or if a US vs Russia\China space race ensues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gZVMEdcLvXA/RmLTU9bfbVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/tXWJcxjgjkQ/s1600-h/mission_to_mars_3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gZVMEdcLvXA/RmLTU9bfbVI/AAAAAAAAAH0/tXWJcxjgjkQ/s320/mission_to_mars_3.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5071848487413312850&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting times ahead...</description><link>http://shanepbk.blogspot.com/2007/06/new-space-race.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (ShanePBK)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gZVMEdcLvXA/RmLUVNbfbWI/AAAAAAAAAH8/yHjiuaU4YZs/s72-c/mars.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30636911.post-2285550622987147331</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 May 2007 13:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-05-07T15:06:01.101+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Heineken Cup</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Leinster</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Rugby</category><title>Heineken Cup - Back On?</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gZVMEdcLvXA/Rj8x3en87VI/AAAAAAAAAHk/ad-vMYOAhD8/s1600-h/Heineken%2520Cup.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gZVMEdcLvXA/Rj8x3en87VI/AAAAAAAAAHk/ad-vMYOAhD8/s320/Heineken%2520Cup.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot;id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061819335370927442&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The IRFU welcomed a possible breakthrough in &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heineken_Cup&quot;&gt;Heineken Cup&lt;/a&gt; negotiations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;English and French clubs had previously decided to boycott the competition. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow it is expected to be announced that the Heineken Cup will go ahead next year in its current format.&lt;br /&gt;I would imagine that had the Heineken cup gone the way of the dodo then teams would see a huge drop in sponsorship revenues.
