Solar Power installed succesfully
A solar power system was installed at house in the UK during April 2006 and the owners no longer pay an electricity bill.
In fact, their system generates surplus energy which they sell to their supplier and the money produced pays their gas bill.
This is easy to do grants are available.

The Boys from Brazil
At first glance, "The Boys of Brazil" seemed to deal with unusual subject matter, it seemed to come with a high pedigree and as a result I was initially expecting a great deal. Top notch stars such as Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier further whetted my appetite and I knew that Director Franklin J. Schaffner had a proven track record with titles such as "Papillon," "Patton" and the original "Planet of the Apes." "Welcome Home" starring Jane Fonda and John Voigt is another career highlight and another particular favorite of mine.
Originally released in 1978 and based on a book by Ira Levin, I saw the film as a teenager although it didn't particularly stick in my mind. When I noticed a recent re-run in the terrestrial TV schedules I decided to do some reminiscing.
While attempting to explore a controversial topic, it proved to be an effective although ultimately shallow and unsatisfying thriller involving a Nazi cloning plot organized by Dr Joseph Mengele. Death camp Doctor Mengele, who performed infamous concentration camp experiments in attempts to develop a superior Aryan race, is now exiled in South America and still pursuing his dream of a Fourth Reich. Gregory Peck is excellent as Dr Mengele as is Laurence Olivier as a Simon Wiesenthal type professional Nazi Hunter, Ezra Lieberman, who hears of and then attempts to foil the plot. Other famous faces featured include an underused James Mason, a young Steve Guttenberg, Lili Palmer and Denholm Elliot. Watch out for Prunella Scales a.k.a. Sybill Fawlty too.
The scientifically possible but very improbable plot might hinder your enjoyment but the two main stars, high profile director and the quality cast live up to their reputations and provide good value for money although everybody involved has done much better.
In many ways this is a wasted opportunity and I personally was looking for something with more depth. No real attempt was made to address the legal, ethical or scientific aspects of cloning and the age old nature or nurture question concerning child development was hinted at but not fully explored.
It might be useful as a sixth form vehicle to provoke a discussion on cloning and associated topics such as GM food but my original appraisal from thirty plus years ago turned out to be highly accurate. Maybe I was a reasonably cultured teenager after all.
Is it time to play the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and Clash albums again?
Anyone for "Cranked Up Really High" by Slaughter and the Dogs?

Take Control of Your Own Destiny
The recent economic difficulties experienced by the EU countries, the USA and others throughout the world have been well documented and will continue. It will see many normal people lose their jobs and possibly their homes through no fault of their own. Meanwhile, the bankers and so called financial experts who caused the problem will continue to live in their large mansions and continue with their affluent lifestyles. The very few individuals who were deemed responsible and sacked were given multi-million pound severance deals. They will not starve.
Over the years the financial sector has, on the whole, been very successful at using our money to make more money. The people involved were shrewd, sophisticated investors who were very good at assessing and managing risk. This strategy can still be successful in the future if it is managed correctly. The economic problems were caused by arrogant individuals who became over confident and took unnecessary risks with our money.
We cannot depend on big companies or the state to look after our welfare anymore. We should all take control of our own destiny, copy these methods and use money to make money. We will all need to increase our financial education and learn how to manage risk but the financial rewards will be much greater than working nine to five.
There is no difference between investing on the stock market and gambling using more traditional outlets such as bookmakers and casinos. You must be a sophisticated investor by assessing and managing the risk and the easiest way to do this is to use one of the many available systems and stick to it rigidly
I recommend the use of on-line casinos because there are so many advantages. You can play when you want from the comfort of your own home. You can practise for free and play for very small stakes. Nobody can see you and you can take as much time as you like.
Every on-line casino will have a bonus system and I strongly recommend that you use it. Deposit $100 and they will (at least) double it. You have made a profit of $100 before you even start.
Practise until you are ready, then when you are play for very small stakes. Remember this is gambling. Do not commit any money that you cannot afford to lose
Every casino has an acceptable daily loss and you should help yourself to some of it. Don't be too greedy though. Do not draw attention to yourself. The casino owners are intelligent people and they will see what you're doing and you might get banned. Share your winnings between a few casinos and in this way remain inconspicuous.
