The Dead Seas Scrolls are now available on Google.
It’s taken 24 centuries, the work of archaeologists, scholars and historians, and the advent of the Internet to make the Dead Sea Scrolls accessible to anyone in the world. Today, as the new year approaches on the Hebrew calendar, we’re celebrating the launch of the Dead Sea Scrolls online; a project of The Israel Museum, Jerusalem powered by Google technology.

True to form the Union meddlers are busily lying their collective asses off about National and have dropped thousands of leaflets off around workplaces.
A while back Chris Trotter opined that he missed the old school unionism of yester-year. So when I read the article about Indian workers beating their boss to death I wondered if this was what he meant.
Sacked workers beat to death the India head of an Italian industrial gear manufacturing company near New Delhi.
Lalit Kishore Choudhary, 47-year-old chief executive of Graziano Transmissioni India, died after he was beaten up in the company’s office in Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh state.
The confrontation followed a long industrial dispute at the factory, which led to the dismissal of hundreds of employees.
Police said that 63 people had been arrested.
Must be some office if it can hold 63 bashers and one dead bashee.
Shawn Tan’s lawyer Max Whitehead was interviewed by bFM. It is a very telling interview and during the interview we find out that Andrew Little lied in his email to ALL members and we find that The Standard have also lied because Shawn Tan has met, with Max Whitehead, prior to todays meeting when they first suspended Shawn Tan.

This is certainly a ramshackle PR fiasco for the bastard bosses at the EPMU.
Giant rat to illustrate plight of striking Sky City workers – Unite union will inflate a giant rat outside Auckland’s SkyCity Casino today to graphically illustrate management there as “dirty employers”. [3 News Politics]
Unite would do better to take the giant rat and inflate it outside other “dirty employers” such as the EPMU. Bastard Bosses like the EPMU who discriminate based on the ideological and political purity of their workers need to be brought to account.
Today in the house today Judith Collins highlighted a lovely little rort that Labour ‘s mates the PSA have got going.
Judith Collins: Is it not true that Ministry of Social Development union members received bonuses in the election years of 2002 and 2005, and that now in 2008 they have been told they will get $750 each; and does this not imply that the bonus is the payback for the Public Service Association yet again campaigning for Labour in an election year?
Hon RUTH DYSON: No, that is not correct. The union negotiation covering the collective agreement by the respective workers does not always fall in an election year. Some years it does-in fact, once every 3 years it falls in an election year. In the other years it is not in an election year.
What an amazing coinicdence! PSA member all get a bonus in the years that seem unusually to coincide with elections.
Judith Collins: How can she justify awarding staff election-year bonuses just for being a member of the Public Service Association (PSA), and should not bonuses be related to employment performance rather than union membership?
Hon RUTH DYSON: That is a matter for the chief executive.
Judith Collins: When is this Minister going to take some responsibility; what is the connection between election-year bonuses to union members and the PSA’s campaign against larger tax cuts on behalf of the Labour Party-is she now going to say there is no connection?
Hon RUTH DYSON: There is no connection between the election year and the year in which the negotiations come into effect. If there are any parts of the agreement to be delivered they are delivered every year, not just in an election year. The implication that the member makes is disgraceful.
No Minister, what is disgraceful is that you can get a bonus simply for being a member of the union with no consideration for productivity and it seems that this cosy little arragement magically coincides with elections.
There is a word for this and it is spelt B R I B E R Y.
