Recently these profiles are less, but usual. I blocked them, as I do not like bots, especially under such avatars, few words in profile on the topic and strange tweets. Bots :-) so close in behavior to apps for creating"guru" image with over ten and hundred thousands followers.

I've found some bots now tell jokes though, relatively sophisticated interaction. Also, memo to self, don't talk to christians

"Organic vegetables box business Abel and Cole has been sold to the makers of Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings, Hull-based William Jackson Group. The deal, for an undisclosed sum but thought to be worth tens of millions of pounds, ends years of uncertainty for the veg box delivery company, which nearly went bust at the height of the financial crisis with consumers unwilling to pay premium prices for organic food. It is the second time the founder, Keith Abel, has sold the company in the last five years. William Jackson, a 180-year-old family-owned business based in Hull, has no plans to lay off any of the 450 staff at Abel and Cole and the company will continue to be run by Abel. He said: "With our new partners we have the security and stability we need to grow and flourish. By joining a family business, which respects and understands us, we can carry on delivering the best veg boxes imaginable to our wonderful customers." Last year the company made a pretax profit of £2.5m on sales...

A pity. Abel & Cole are simply the best, wonderful fruit and veg and wonderful pies.

My respect to their strong entrepreneurial spirit for the organic food production and trade ( For me-"organic food"- it was just traditional, for the country, vegetables and fruits, grown under conventional conditions and less interventions -gene,sort,used chemical products. Pity, but do not exist today on our market.)

Das ist nicht einmal falsch (Heisenberg). Have started using this for things that so deeply offend my sense of reason. Nazi-ish or not, would love to have shared a glass of wine with Heisenberg before he died.
"One-two-THREE! CONTROL! … and relax," Ma Jian urges. The 78-year-old author is addressing a few dozen men clustered around a stage in Guangzhou, but he aspires to a much bigger audience. "China has more than 2,000 years of sexual history and culture and skills. It has sexual experience which western countries have never known. I want to introduce its expertise to people here and people overseas and make all men happy," he said. "I want all women to benefit. I take guys who shoot in three minutes and teach them to hang on for 30. That's long enough." Until 10 years ago this evangelist was, he said, "an underground worker", toiling in strictest secrecy. He grew up in the sexually repressive society created by Mao Zedong. The chairman of the People's Republic may have shared his own bed with numerous women, but under his rule bodies were disguised in shapeless suits and holding hands in public was shocking. Even in the 80s, after liberalisation had begun, a man was executed for...

It makes me think of a famous Chinese food: Scrambled Tomato with egg. The taste is sweet and sour.
- @Renchin@
:-) Nothing in common with a tomato from tomato plant in the garden.The plant smells nice,too. Garden- at a good geographical location, with enough sun, not modified seed, organic fertilizers, not too much water. Yes,dreams of urbanized over the top of the head citizen. Have to be satisfied with goods at the close local shop and market. :-) Winckel, it is nevertheless recent article about new built high energy passive complex at one UK street, with a small garden for every tenant there.

"The former archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, has accused David Cameron of "plundering" the institution of heterosexual marriage to promote same-sex marriage rights. Allowing gay marriage would cause deep divisions in society "without giving gays a single right they do not have in civil partnership", he said. At a Coalition for Marriage rally on the fringe of the Conservative conference in Birmingham on Monday, Carey joined David Burrowes, the backbench MP for Enfield Southgate, and former MP Ann Widdecombe in protesting that neither the Lib Dem nor Tory 2010 manifesto included a pledge to legalise gay marriage. Carey claimed that in some countries where same-sex marriage had been made legal – including Mexico, Brazil and the Netherlands – it had led to unforeseen consequences such as three-person marriages. Asked about opponents of gay marriage being described as "bigots" – on one occasion by Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister – Carey said: "Let us remember the Jews in Nazi...

I like these elderly white male homophobes. The claim to Shoah-style persecution is nice too. History will roll over these guys and crush them into oblivion. And I look forward to hastening their demise. This is a fight I like.

Our illustrious Prime Minister is now on Twitter, maybe it's time to join the throng.....
Just managed to get myself on Twitter, hwinckelmann , and expecting Twitter's servers to groan under the strain of traffic. Or not. But it's been fun today reading Dawkins' tweets :-)

"Every major scientific society has affirmed that all our knowledge of biological science convincingly supports evolution by natural selection and cannot be understood without it. At the same time, these societies have carefully avoided offending religious groups by assuring that evolution does not conflict with religious beliefs. (See, for example, National Academy of Sciences. Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science. Washington, DC: National Academy Press, 1998, p. 58). In fact, this attempt by scientists to convince the American public that evolution poses no threat to faith has largely fallen on deaf ears, perhaps because it is simply untrue, and believers can see this clearly enough. A 2010 Gallup Poll found that only 16 percent of Americans believe in "Naturalist Evolution," defined as the view that "Man has developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life [and] God had no part in the process." This is exactly the same percentage of Americans who...

"As part of Pulpit Freedom Sunday, religious leaders across the country will endorse political candidates — an act that flies in the face of Internal Revenue Service rules about what tax-exempt organizations, such as churches, can and cannot do. The IRS says tax-exempt organizations, or what they refer to as a 501(c)(3), are prohibited from participating in partisan campaigning for or against political candidates. Yet, despite what's in the rules, the agency continues to struggle to do anything about those who defy the law. Though the regulation has been in place since 1954, in 2009, a U.S. District Court in Minnesota ruled the IRS no longer had the appropriate staff to investigate places of worship after a reorganization changed who in the agency had the authority to launch investigations. New procedures for conducting church audits have been pending since 2009, which has left the IRS virtually impotent in conducting any kind of new investigations. The IRS did not respond to...

I love the response to this - "we can do what we like, irrespective of the law, and you have to subsidise us too" - the arrogance of these people is breathtaking. This is a fight I enjoy.

"David Cameron has failed to end the Tories' image as the party of the rich and is paying the price as Conservatives struggle to extend their appeal to urban areas in the north of England, according to the head of Downing Street's favourite thinktank. In a searing critique of the prime minister's faltering modernisation project, the director of Policy Exchange, Neil O'Brien, calls for an urgent round of renewal in the light of Cameron's failure to heal the "party's worst wounds". Writing for the Guardian on the eve of the Conservative conference in Birmingham, O'Brien says: "Today the Tories urgently need a new round of renewal. Tory modernisation has not yet healed the party's worst wounds. It is still seen as the party of the rich. It does badly in urban areas, particularly outside the south-east." The intervention by O'Brien, whose thinktank has been an intellectual powerhouse for the so called "Cameroons", reflects the concerns among many modernisers that the project has stalled....

I'm kinda rich, all things considered, and they are NOT my party. Perhaps I am not rich enough :p

I guarantee you are not rich - or poor - enough to be a Conservative :)

conservatism is surely a crime against the species - quite literally a crime against humanity. As for women, where would the value be in supporting it, given all they have done to hinder progress for women??

"Camillo Miller of Italian website TheAppleLounge noticed an interesting tidbit about the brief tribute to Steve Jobs Apple published on its website today. The song that plays in the video, the prelude from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1, is tuned down to F# major. Typically, the prelude is played in G major. So why tuning down the prelude? It comes down to an important detail related to Steve’s tastes in classical music. The version that Apple is using on the website is played by American cellist Yo-Yo Ma. As Walter Isaacson writes in Steve’s biography, Yo-Yo Ma and Steve were close friends: There was one classic musician Jobs revered both as a person and a performer: Yo-Yo Ma, the versatile virtuoso who is as sweet and profound as the tones he creates on his cello. They had met in 1981, when Jobs was at the Aspen Design Conference and Ma was at the Aspen Music Festival. Jobs tended to be deeply moved by artists who displayed purity, and he became a fan. He invited Ma to play at his...
