Hi

We're launching in the future online learning for people in Burngreave who want to learn:

Photoshop - Illustrator - Indesign - Video Editing - Creating Video Commercials using After Effects and more.

This is an amazing way of learn. The learner will be able to see my desktop, and see what actions I am doing, hear me talk as I show, step by step how to design flyers, posters, magazine layouts, using video editing tools and learn Industry Standard software.

I know there are courses out there but they cost too much. The course I am running will be a charge of only 5 pound per person for a 4-6 weeks lessons. If anyone in Burmgreave is interested then please email me at:

From http://www.boingboing.net/2008/01/29/leaked-uk-govt-doc-r.html

attached is the leaked UK gov doc...

Phil from the UK anti-ID-register group NO2ID sends in this nugget -- note the call to action there. We've got a sensitive government document revealing the British government's plan to trick us into a database state and we need as many copies as possible, as quickly as possible!

If you mirror this document, please add a link to it in the comments for the post.

UK campaigners NO2ID this morning enlisted the help of bloggers across the world to spread a leaked government document describing how the British government intends to go about "coercing" its citizens onto a National Identity Register. The 'ID card' is revealed as little more than a cover to create a official dossier and trackable ID for every UK resident - creating what NO2ID calls 'the database state'.

Refuting the channel 4 documentary "Great Global Warming Swindle" ...

A great analysis that pulls to pieces the poor science from Channel 4

The refutation of the sunspot theory is especially worth noting.

Watch and Act!.. great argument and shows the climate change deniers for the misanthropes they are.
