Iran Nuclear Watch: Iran to Announce More Uranium Enrichment Centrifuges?
A file photo of the nuclear plant in the southwestern Iranian city of Bushehr June 22, 2005. Iran said on Sunday it would not discuss its ‘obvious right’ to master the nuclear fuel cycle but was open to talks that could reassure the West that its atomic plans were not aimed at producing bombs.
Iran set to announce nuclear plans on Monday
Iran’s president has promised to disclose news about Iran’s nuclear program when he visits its uranium enrichment facility on Monday where the West says Iran is mastering the skills needed to make atomic bombs.
Iran has rejected U.N. demands to halt enrichment, a process than can make power plant fuel or material for warheads, and has instead vowed to expand what it insists is peaceful atomic work.
Diplomats speculate President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could announce that Iran has installed more centrifuges, the machines used in the enrichment process, at the Natanz facility in central Iran. But Iranian officials have been tightlipped.
“If you wait 24 hours, you will all find out,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini told a Sunday news conference when asked what the president would announce.
Journalists will accompany the president with senior officials from Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization to the site about 200 km (125 miles) south of Tehran.
Ahmadinejad, who said in February he would announce “great” nuclear achievements in the days to April 9, is expected to hold a news conference.
Sunday’s Jam-e Jam newspaper wrote: “The installation and start up of 3,000 centrifuges and the injection of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas will be announced by the president.”
UF6 gas is fed into centrifuges as feedstock.
Iran, the world’s fourth largest oil exporter which says it wants a network of nuclear power plants, runs 350 experimental centrifuges at an above ground pilot facility at Natanz.
The United States and Israel will now have to decide whether they wish Iran to possess nuclear weapons or not.
The “NUCLEAR POINT OF NO RETURN” has been reached.
The American aircraft carrier groups are in the region and Iran has ignored the United Nations.
It is time to shit or get off the pot.

Giuliani Notes: South Carolina Neck and Neck for Rudy and McCain
FOX News Poll: Giuliani, McCain Neck and Neck in South Carolina
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Arizona Sen. John McCain are the clear leaders among Republican hopefuls in the South Carolina primary. Former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney is the only other candidate to receive double-digit support, according to a new FOX News poll.
Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the telephone poll of 600 likely South Carolina Republican primary voters for FOX News from April 1 to April 3. There is a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points for results based on the entire sample.
The poll finds that Giuliani receives the backing of 26 percent and McCain 25 percent of South Carolina Republican primary voters. Romney has the support of 14 percent.
In the next tier of candidates, 5 percent of likely voters say they will support former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, which is most notable because voters volunteered his name even though he is not an announced candidate and therefore was not included in the list of vote choices read.
Now, let’s look at the candidate deciding factors:
Now the issues for pro-life, pro-choice voters:
An interesting poll but when taken before the hoopla of a Fred Thompson candidacy and Rudy’s public funding of abortion FLAP.
The major question is: Is Rudy solid with 26% of the vote and will a Fred Thompson candidacy dilute his total or McCain’s?
Also, how will a Thompson run affect Romney’s numbers?
The voters of South Carolina will let us know in a few weeks.
Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani smiles as he listens to South Carolina Treasurer Thomas Ravenel throw his support behind the former New York City mayor’s campaign during a news conference Thursday, April 5, 2007, at the Statehouse in Columbia, S.C. Looking on far left is Barry Wynn.

Happy Easter: He is Risen
1: The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
2: Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
3: Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
4: So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5: And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6: Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
7: And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8: Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9: For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10: Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11: But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12: And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13: And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14: And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17: Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18: Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19: Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20: And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21: Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24: But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25: The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26: And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27: Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28: And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29: Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
30: And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.*********
Happy Easter and a very blessed day to all…….
