		<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;my machine can’t even load the Bain thread now, jesus&lt;/i&gt;

4,476 as of 30 mins ago Paul. Possibly around 5,000 by now. It&#039;d be good once it&#039;s finally over to get a per person comment count of that thread so we could identify the Baniacs for future reference.

&lt;i&gt;No, the tiering means most sizes get a reasonable view from equal seats. Unless you take your own cushion.&lt;/i&gt;

Ah that&#039;s good. The seats are all equal now. Just imagine if they were coloured black and white. Where would people sit?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Andrei, a prophecy of doom on the West, if it does not do as it is told on same sex marriages?

How exactly are baby boomers, a developing global market (economic migrants moving to where wages are higher) and rising public debt related to something that has yet to occur?  

More young people support same sex marriages than older people.  

Is this all to converge the conservative paranoia about all and every change as personally threatening (to old and aging people)? So that baby boomers (48-67 year olds) join those older than them and also oppose same sex marriage? In a show of oppostion to what young people want for those of their own generation - the right to choose for themselves? 

I fail to see the link between existing public debt, and where people choose to work and live, with who can marry someone else. It does not exist in the real world.]]></description>

So that baby boomers (48-67 year olds) join those older than them and also oppose same sex marriage? In a show of oppostion to what young people want for those of their own generation &#8211; the right to choose for themselves? </p>
<p>I fail to see the link between existing public debt, and where people choose to work and live, with who can marry someone else. It does not exist in the real world.</p>

Weihana, the problem is then storage of solar energy for household use – maybe hooking up the solar energy into the grid for credits.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed a thermal energy storage system that will work as a viable alternative to current methods used for storing energy collected from solar panels. Incorporating the researchers&#039; design into the operation of a concentrated solar power plant will dramatically increase annual energy production while significantly decreasing production costs.&lt;/i&gt;

Sounds like progress is being made... hope so anyway.]]></description>
