If you are a bit of a science geek and are interested in energies inside clouds, how much clouds weigh, and such, BBC's Operation Cloud Lab is very interesting. A flight across the southern USA in an airship to take data puts an interesting twist on the science. Two part show.

this is all about how the neocons manufactured AQ, the why, and the how, in getting a replacement for Hope to drive the country forward and realizing that Fear was better.

Radio program worth a listen.
A Day In The Life Of An Immigration Lawyer.

Every day, from his offices in London, Birmingham and the Punjab, Harjap Singh Bhangal gives advice to migrants who are seeking visas to live and work in the UK. Harjap often advises people from India or Pakistan who have previously applied for visas, but failed many times. Some have visited other lawyers and received incorrect advice for a large fee, while others have entered the UK legally but, due to changes in circumstances.

I watched this documentary a couple of weeks ago with my mum. Not a dry eye in the room.

About the horses during the first World War. Very touching and educational.

sad to see those majestic ancient trees come crashing down.

enjoyed the hell out of that.

i wish i could've shown my dad that one. he was born in 1911. he had clydesdales until the early 70's, just for showing in fairs/parades, and for farming of course when he was a kid.

had to get out of it though....an expensive hobby for a small farmer. an eight horse team of clydes tend to eat a lot....

We're doomed.

no sense replanting....we as a species will be long gone before they reach maturity.

The planet's problem summed up in a sentence.

Unbelievable.

I found this recentlly on Top Docs. I'd never heard of Aaron Shwartz, but his name will certainly go down in history.
Filmed as a historical document and tribute to his life, it's a compelling story indicative of the times.

My War Horse from the First World War got a medal the other day.

His name was Warrior. Good on him. A great story to read. Forget the movie.
