no rest for the weary

Our wholly awesome parade of long-distance visitors continued today with Adrien and Anne from NASCO headquarters in Ann Arbor, here on on official visit to rochester_coop! Chris, Ryan, and I toured potential neighborhoods with Adrien, and sat down to plan out our exact timeline that will put rochester_coop into actual existence by July 2005. In the evening we joined EcoHouse for dinner and discussed ways in which to move their co-op forward (incorporation, home ownership!).

beirut

Beirut — Central Beirut, which during this country's long civil war was a perilous no man's land between the warring Christian and Muslim sides, was flooded with singing and dancing Lebanese of all denominations yesterday after the pro-Syrian government stepped down in the face of widespread popular protest.

Russian scientists have developed a product that can keep a person drunk, Britain’s Daily Telegraph wrote. The tablet called RU-21 Red was developed in Spirit Sciences, a laboratory based in California but with research facilities in Russia. The same scientists had earlier worked on secret programs for the Kremlin and had made the famous RU-21 product that cures hangovers. If you take a tablet you need less alcohol to stay drunk, the scientists were quoted by the paper as saying. “RU-21 Red prolongs drunkenness and enhances intoxication,” the company co-founder, Emil Chiabery, born in the ex-Soviet republic of Georgia said. http://www.mosnews.com/news/2005/02/21/drunkremedy.shtml via Aimee.

P.s. I am hereby the first on Google record to use the phrase "intoxication enhancement"!
