Is HAARP making the skies snore above Malaysia? Or is it Jay Man?
- From: news.com.au
- January 24, 2012
TIN foil hat? Check.
You're ready to face the first big conspiracy theory of 2012.
Just last week, citizens in the Malaysian city of Kota Samarahan reported they were kept awake two nights running because the sky was ... snoring?
"It was around 2am when I was awoken by a strange sound," teacher Mohd Ferdauz Jemain told The Borneo Post.
"It was a loud hushing sound, and quite similar to someone snoring.
"I immediately got out of bed and went outside of my house to see what was happening. The feeling was a chilling one … it was as if something coming from the sky."
Ferdauz and many more residents reported the "loud snorings" on January 11 and 12.
Here's an example:
On the same dates, the sounds were also heard in Hungary and Canada.
The Malaysian Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry is having none of it, collecting evidence and prepping a report to fire off asap to the National Space Agency.
"This incident is no laughing matter," deputy science, technology and innovation minister Datuk Fadillah YusufWe told The Star/Asia News Network.
"We hope those who have audio or video recordings of the noises can come forward so we can investigate."
And it's not only sounds - Ferdauz claimed the clouds in the sky at that time were "in straight lines, and well-formed".
The next day, a 7.3-magnitude earthquake hit Sumatra in neighbouring Indonesia.
During the following week, the noise was also heard in Norway and the UK. The (London) Daily Telegraph even sent a crack squad of investigators out to investigate.
What does it all mean?
Snoring skies, straight clouds, earthquakes. Ten days later, no one's any closer to solving the mystery.
So now it's been established that it's impossible to come up with an explanation, there's only one explanation.
Back in 2007, the US completed work on a $250 million research station in Alaska known as the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program - HAARP.
Basically, HAARP is 13ha of high-power transmitters - about 180 in all - built in collaboration with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Its aim is to "excite the ionosphere" - make of that what you will.
But HAARP has another very important function, and that is to keep X-Files fans absolutely certain that the US is messing with everyone's heads.
Because DARPA's involved and nobody really believes any scientific explanation of what it's for, it's been blamed for everything from the Columbine massacre to the downing of TWU 800 to the Japanese tsunami.
Now, in 2012, HAARP is back in vogue.
Because weird things seem to be happening with increasing frequency as we approach the End of Days, it's become the go-to whipping boy for just about every unexplained phenomena that's hit the Earth, including a couple of thousand dead birds and the Russian Phobos-Grunt satellite.
And now, snoring skies and earthquakes.
Of course, there's another explanation. Back in September, an anonymous poster calling himself "Jay Man" set up this website - http://strangesoundsinthesky.com/. The timing of Jay Man's launch has those bored by the HAARP theory thinking he might be the culprit.
Whatever you believe, if you hear the sky snoring - or even if you're generally just worried about this kind of meddling - there's some very comprehensive solutions out there regarding how to sleep easy.
And yes, they're not too far away removed from tin foil hats.
Have your say

why does it say conspiracy theorists struggle to explain this when the scientists can't explain it either. most people are just scared and dont want to believe anything thats out of the ordinary. Keep an open mind and do your own research

The sounds are usually similar to those heard by Tibetan Monks in a cave, sounds recorded underground and in volcanoes and the sounds of various planets, including earth from space.

Ha Ha, I love the contrail theorists. I am one of the people who puts those contrails in the sky, and can assure anyone who believes otherwise that the only aluminium around lies in the tin-foil within the hats on their heads! No aluminium, no fluoride = dementia, just the right meteorological conditions such that the exhaust gasses and the tiny particles of carbon they contain will sow the "seeds" to grow to very large contrails. Adjust tin-foil hat, nothing to see here. But I'm sure the clairvoyants would already know I was going to say that.

A growing segment of Americans are beginning to express serious reservations about the Un-Constitutionality of certain actions by their Government. I, for one, agree. In fact, the secret launch of an unmanned Space Shuttle in March 2011 has garnered suspicion by China and Russia. I'm no conspiracy theorist, yet, I've every right to question unprecedented events, especially when the 'cover story' seeks to insult what remains of my intelligence! To assume that Government Agencies are not curious about December 21, 2012 is naive. In seeking to provide a facade of continuity, the Gov. dares not cause any hysteria, due to National Security. My best advice to all: Stay Vigilant!

How about the solar flare that has been bombarding the Earth for days now?This has thr ability to shut down entire electrical grids,and distort our atmosphere.

7 magnitude earthquakes are not unusual around Indonesia and PNG. Just because someone noticed this noise and an earthquake occurred the next day doesn't mean the two events are connected. HAARP has unfortunately become a 'catch all' for conspiracy theorists: from droughts in Russia to floods in Pakistan, everything is now blamed on HAARP and the USA. I truly wish the USA had the power to alter the weather as they saw fit. Blaming every unusual atmospheric occurrence on HAARP blinds us to more realistic explanations for phenomenon that happen around us.

Weird, and I'm sure there are logical explanations for it all, but still, tres creepy. Somewhat related, last week in Bunya, Brisbane, there were three explosions in the air, accompanied by loud rumbles. Of course, I assumed lightning and thunder, but I've lived here for more than 20 years and never experienced anything like it. The skies were clear, no clouds, low humidity, so no 'stormy' feeling. The explosions weren't like lightning at all, they were literally like a ball of light exploding outwards in a split second, and the 'thunder' that followed didn't seem to come from anywhere near the light. Very odd.

There's no way it could be that HAARP thing....hi frequencies only travel short distances, whilst low frequencies are the ones that travel much further and through obstacles. An example being the cars that drive by with their doof doof music playing and all you can hear is the bass booming.

I do not want to sound prudish, however I do not agree with the media mentioning the end of days in a way that is written as fact, and not a theory. I can see clearly that the writer of this article is either being sarcastic or referencing without referencing as it were the end of time debate. I'm not looking at this from a religious angle at all however I have seen children and the mentally ill become very upset at this 'proof' of the end of the world speculation spoken as fact and it seems irresponsible. If anyone thinks children or the mentally ill shouldn't believe news from a news website written in a media context, well I find it difficult to agree.

Joe of Brisbane Posted at 10:01 PM January 24, 2012
@BaSH PROMPT, you say HAARP is not the source. What makes you so positive you are right? Seeing HAARP is fairly classified on what it does by means of not telling us the full story and then changing the story from weather modification research to military use is quite concerning, and I don't blame people for thinking the weird stuff comes from that. Also, read research on Fluoride not done by the people who sell it to the governments (independent research), and then read what it does when mixed with aluminum and it's side effects. The side effects aren't a conspiracy. Maybe it was not intended to be a mind control mix but the fact is that they are both dangerous chemicals we don't need yet have little choice in avoiding them. Weird noises are kind of freaky though :)

There is a disease called Morgellans disease and half of the medical community tell people it is mass hysteria. These so called conspiracy theorists believe they are caused by Chemtrails, not contrails. Yet they are mocked and are not taken seriously. I will not tell anyone they are wrong. You would shit yourselves if what the conspiracy theorists tell turned out to be true. Shut up and stop making fun of people who say things your tiny brains can't handle. You're all quick to say this isn't true, yet where is your proof. Just like Atheist, with no proof they tell you that God doesn't exist. I am neither a cospiracy theorist or religious in any way, but without proof you are just a blow hard and should shut up.

Curious of QLD Posted at 9:32 PM January 24, 2012
Bash prompt you really know how to show your intelligence, just rattle off the term "conspiracy nuts" to make up for the fact you don't actually have a clue what you're talking about. For a start contrails are condensation trails emitted from the engines at high altitudes, nothing to do with humiditazion of the wings or whatever you're talking about. Secondly chemtrails are a completely different phenomenon, a single condensation trail cannot expand to the extent that it turns a blue sky overcast on a clear, windless day. Of course it's absolute madness that there are things happening that we don't yet understand (shock horror). If people decided to turn off the tv and look outside and actually notice some of the strange things that seem to be happening, all over the world, they are conspiracy nuts because they ask questions. You would've been one of the great humans of times past laughing at those who took a couple of seconds to consider that the earth might not actually be flat, or at the centre of the universe. Because it's easier to do that than to actually find things out for yourself. But yes your simultaneous worldwide foghorn prank makes much more sense.

Steve of Jolimont WA Posted at 8:35 PM January 24, 2012
Come to think of it , in the last few weeks I have been hearing some odd low level hum or droning noises like a turbo prop aeroplane droning in the distance in the sky over Perth coming from the south west and western direction during the early hours of the morning. I know for a fact that the noise is not a local noise and goes it on for about 30 - 45 minutes at a time which is too long for a plane to be passing overhead or for a plane to be circling the area. The last time I heard this low level humming / droning sound was at around 2 Am on 24/1/12 and lasted for nearly 30 minutes.

id be more inclined to believe this is tectonic harmonics....this year we will most likely experience the biggest earthquakes on record as well as, the possibility of erupting super volcanoes....yes SUPER volcanoes! like yellowstone.

John Posted at 8:14 PM January 24, 2012
The hum is most probably electrical, if the wave form resonates in the 50 - 60Hz range its likely to be an old buried transformer of some description. Most things you can find the answers to if you look hard enough. But of course this depends on what your looking for a good story or scientific proof

HAARP is nothing new (1990's) and several countries have similar facilities. The purpose was originally investigated for communication purposes by the US military by altering the ionosphere with high powered waves to enable extended communications. There were side effects though as obviously messing with this stuff can effect climate. If you assume there is no purpose then you need to do a quick google. HAARP is real but what is unknown is the degree that it effects climate. The conspiracists say that it is being used worldwide to cause desruction, but id suggest that they are experimenting with ways to promote rainfall. Similar lines were seen in clouds in the sky over perth recently - Last saturday I think. Just dont disregard the possibilities - the facilities are real and obvously we are not kept in the loop regarding the full truth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Frequency_Active_Auroral_Research_Program

Its the reaction of the latest solar storm as the charge ion particles from a solar erruption, hits the outer atmosphere. Lots of them will happen this year. It's not the end of the world, but the Sun is throwing a hissy fit for the better part of the year.

Roy of Sydney Posted at 5:01 PM January 24, 2012
These sounds are real but nothing to be alarmed about. For instance you have the phenomena called Brontides caused by shallow earthquakes. India has what is called "The Barisal Guns" which sounds like cannon fire.Seneca guns in New York....... "mistpouffers" in France....Uminari in Japan and even Hanleyâs guns in Victoria, Australia....all noises coming from the sky but with different sounds...it is just nature...nothing more. Relax everyone.... no conspiracies here.

According the the font of all knowlwdge Wikipedia: "According to HAARP's management, the project strives for openness, and all activities are logged and publicly available. Scientists without security clearances, even foreign nationals, are routinely allowed on site. The HAARP facility regularly (once a year on most years according to the HAARP home page) hosts open houses, during which time any civilian may tour the entire facility. In addition, scientific results obtained with HAARP are routinely published in major research journals .." I don't think its this *mysterious* research facility making the noise, more likely the snoring of a p_ssed neighbour.

In regards to: "During the following week, the noise was also heard in Norway and the UK. The (London) Daily Telegraph even sent a crack squad of investigators out to investigate..." This is a little misleading as it appears to be untrue (the linking YT vid, that is). That video was uploaded to YT on 15 June, 2011. Never mind conspiracy theories â never believe everything you read on a news site. Also, Strange Earth Sounds have actually been recorded in many parts of the globe for a good few years now. It's certainly not a new phenomena. Thanks all the same news.com.au, for bringing this topic to light for those still in the dark.

@Bash Prompt: Fluoride is bad for you. Effects of condensation trails from planes should be studied indepthly to understand how the effect the atmosphere. HAARP is a real place with real capabilities. 'Cloud seeding' is probably a conspiracy theory, because the mind control fairies are riding zebras.

Hahah "The Clairvoyant," you need to unplug yourself from the internet. Contrary to what you have been reading, you are not setting your mind free, nor are you discovering the truth. Your mind is more paranoid that ever. Kind of funny how these conspiracy theorists never believe just one or two things, it's EVERYTHING that the echo chambers of paranoia on the internet regurgitate to its avid readers.

Tony of Adelaide Posted at 4:04 PM January 24, 2012
This story or event has nothing to do with a "Conspiracy", (group of people conspiring to commit a crime), so your grammar is off target. "Theorist" ...maybe, but that's what we do when governments don't give answers. Also, when a government consistently lies, you could say that a "Conspiracy Theorist" questions known liars. Whatever, I don't care. Just saying. To answer Bash's PROMPT comment about contrails - they're chemtrails, and NASA admits they have spent more than $200b over the last 20 years using a relatively recent formula for aviation fuel. They added barium, aluminium sulphide to name two substances - so no conspiracy there. Every jet powered aircraft uses it, and the patent is freely available. Look it up at www.patft.uspto.gov/ HAARP is a weapon designed to steer or destroy ICBM's (Intercontinetal Ballistic Missiles) - entering US airspace or areas of interest using the "Ionosphere". It is also "in fact" used to manipulate weather, as it inevitably does when in use. It is owned and funded by the Department of Defense. So, it's a weapon - no conspiracy there. Just read the government white papers. But anyway, whatever. Nothing to see here.

Conspiratorus Posted at 3:56 PM January 24, 2012
HAARP, along with 'Woodpecker' are weapons used by the US and Soviets to control the weather. The idea is to turn the weather against the enemy. Being able to control the ionosphere means being able to affect the jet stream. Wikipedia and other sources has a lot more info. Whether this can cause earthquakes is open to debate. Mini-nukes planted at fault-lines can do a better job. The Nazis added flouride in the water in their camps to slowly poison and pacify the prisoners. With regards to chemtrails, compare a real contrail with a a trail left by a cropduster. Those chemtrails have been proven to contain aluminum and other radioactive particles. Think agent orange but on populated areas. Next time these events happen, we should see flying discs and bright lights.

The Clairvoyant of WA Posted at 3:51 PM January 24, 2012
Hmm...no one has ever said what the purpose of HAARP is...fluoride has been proven to cause dementia and I've seen plenty of pictures where there would have to be hundreds of planes in the same patch of sky in a very short period to produce 'contrails' of the magntiude that are commonly seen! Apparently some of the chem trails are aluminium flakes...who knows why.

BaSH PR0MPT Posted at 3:33 PM January 24, 2012
This made front page on reddit the other day, strange sounds heard all over the world on the same day. Some sounded like fog horns, which could be mounted in cars by pranksters (something friends of mine have done before), others sounded like they were added in later; an easy one is throwing the file in audacity, and examining the bit rate of the video, versus the section where the sound occurs. More often than not the bit rate increases, meaning a higher quality audio file has been inserted into the video. HAARP is not the source, although congratulations on getting a bunch of conspiracy nuts in a tizz who believe HAARP is bringing the end of the world, fluride is mind control substances, and contrails of planes aren't just humiditization compressed by the wings of passing planes but mind control fairy dust dropped from planes.

had an odd sour taste. Wouldn't make them again
Great recipe!!! Super easy to make! I love the fact that the sugars in this recipe are all natural. (From the dates, raisins & applesauce.) Couldn't find pre-made date syrup, so I found a recipe and made my own. Thanks for sharing!
Delicious and moist. Not too sweet. I'm able to substitute the egg with a flaxseed mixture. Next time, I'll add a little vanilla, but otherwise these were great. Thank you!

Why do boys always go for the pretty girls? They have to have the blonde hair and blue eyes! But what about the girls with dark hair and green eyes? Aren't they pretty too? Boys always go for the pretty girls, they want to look popular with those girls and be considered cool cause they go out with the "cute" girls! What's so cute about a ton of blonde cheerleaders thinking they're better then everyone else? In all the movies the blonde cheerleader has the guy at the beginning but then, in the end, the brunette get's him. Why can't it be like that in reality? Boys are so confusing. One moment they are together with the geeky girl, the next moment they are dancing at prom with a cheerleader. Why can't the girls that make sense and are beautiful in there own way be loved. Why are boys so cute, yet so hard.
Why are boys so confusing?

Well, guys are just made that way. Why are girls so confused? Why are girls cunfusing? We have to answer these things about ourselves, also. I think that guys want a pretty girl to feel better about themselves and they're just for show. I feel that every girl is going to be attractive to someone else. If the guy doesn't want to be with you because he likes blonde hair and blue eyes, it's probably because that's his preference. It's not that he isn't capable of liking a girl like you, but it's be... (more »)

Pretty good article, many girls that are falling head over heals for a guy could relate. Though, honestly, what your saying isn't completely true. Guys don't only follow the blond girl, like girls, it depends on their type of finding a girl that is "pretty". Though your idea is clear and I believe many can relate! :)

Okay, speaking as a natural blonde with blue eyes who hasn't yet broke a hundred pounds... They don't ALWAYS go for the looks, and the ones that do, as was said before, generally aren't worth the time of day. Just being a blonde doesn't mean you're popular, either. ;) But, I tend to agree with the main gist of the article, guys are incredibly confusing. Not all of them are jerks, though, just remember that! :)

Well, while I do understand where you are coming from, I have to say that this is not the case everywhere in the world. Each culture has their own idea of pretty and what is beautiful. And guys don't just only go for the blondes. But I do agree that this is a stereotype that should be broken---what should matter more is on the inside.

i've noticed that if you look hard enough and don't hide (not saying you do) and show your true self, you should be you and get someone like your self. my boyfriend is the same as me....... just be yourslef... he got made fun of 'cuz hes goth, so did i for the same reasons.... him being himself and me being myslef is what got us together........... be yourself and you'll get yours :) trust me....

That's a stereotypical, jerk guy. A guy worth your time is nothing like this. If a guy is asking for anything more than a girl with their idea of a beautiful personality, you should stay away from them. A guy who looks for eye candy isn't worth your time. There are really great guys out there you just have to avoid the jerks that have become our stereotype.

yes, 21% of guys (i surveyed 100) look at the face of a girl, 79 others look mainly at ur chest........... just saying, girls look at eyes, smile, body, how much your around them.... we don't look at your junk do we??????

It does also depend on the group of guys you survey, or even the area you live in. I think its also safe to assume that there are girls who look at more than just some ones eyes and smile.

Henson puppets 'Stuffed & Unstrung' at Pabst Theater April 13
Ever wonder what Muppets would say if someone else was pulling the strings? About the closest thing to it is "Henson Alternative: Stuffed & Unstrung," a live, adults-only improv comedy show featuring Jim Henson Company puppeteers. It'll be at the Pabst Theater at 8 p.m. April 13.
This definitely ain't "Sesame Street," and these aren't the Muppets. It's six Henson puppeteers - out in the open - with 80 puppets, working up bits and sketches onstage. Their efforts are also shown on a big screen behind them. This New York Post report gives you a taste of the experience. »Read Full Article
Video: The Concert Corner - Previewing Imagine Dragons, Tame Impala and more
It's a busy weekend for shows in Milwaukee, with fast-rising alternative rock act Imagine Dragons at Eagles Ballroom and critically acclaimed psychedelic group Tame Impala at Turner Hall Sunday. Unfortunately both shows are already sold out. But in this week's Concert Corner video chat with CineStars' Brittany Umar, I talk about another promising show (actually, series of shows) happening Saturday--although the promoter told me that he's expecting all the tickets will be bought in advance.
The poetry of Kevin Giese's Winter Chapel
What a lovely and generous project. Every year, the Portrait Society Gallery commissions an artist-made winter chapel, a place for reflection and quietude during these months of harsh weather and inwardness in the Midwest. This year's chapel, one of my favorites, was created by Kevin Giese. It is so simple, constructed with a curved wall and hollow, hand-stitched birch trees.

Your medical information is safe and protected by your doctor, and HIPAA laws, but maybe you need your records released. Maybe you're the MD and need access to a patient's old records. Getting that information can make a huge difference in how you treat your patient but first your patient needs to authorize it. Make it easy by providing them with the documents.

Michael Jackson has been seen around L.A. in a surgical mask—is he hiding zits? Had his wisdom teeth out? Recovering from a whisker transplant? He is apparently continuing his quest for the perfect face. A person who has seen new photos taken of the singer says Jackson had a cleft put into his chin via plastic surgery. The mask is Michael's way of keeping his Kirk Douglas look under wraps.
A Vietnam veterans group plans to file for an injunction that would prevent NBC from airing its controversial movie, Unnatural Causes, next fall. In the film, John Ritter plays a Vietnam vet who dies of cancer that he thought was caused by exposure to the defoliant Agent Orange. The producers have said that Ritter's character is a "composite," but a group called Vietnam Veterans Agent Orange Victims, Inc. claims that Ritter's character resembles its co-founder, Army helicopter pilot Paul Reutershan, who died in 1978 at age 28. The movie co-stars Alfre (St. Elsewhere) Woodard as Veterans Administration caseworker Maude DeVictor, who helped bring the Agent Orange issue to the public's attention. DeVictor had frequent dealings with Reutershan before he died, and sold the rights to her story in 1984. Reutershan's survivors were paid nothing despite the contention of his sister, Jane Dziedzic, that the 113-page script has at least 53 direct factual references to a character who could only be her brother. Dziedzic also says the movie is a "terrible distortion of the issue." The group is planning a June 30 protest rally in New York. Meanwhile the producers say that they have turned over the claims to their attorneys.
It's not all sin and skin on this week's General Hospital, as Frisco (Jack Wagner) and Felicia (Kristina Malandro) bed down for their honeymoon. To Malandro's dismay, the network censored two steamy scenes. In one encounter, she was feeding her new husband grapes she had placed between her breasts. "That was changed completely," she says. "The next night, we're in bed again and Jack is kidding around by wearing the negligee I had on for our wedding night. The censors made him put the spaghetti straps down his sides instead of over his shoulder." That would have been just too kinky.
Former pro football player Ernie Barnes, now a successful sports artist, has received a $100,000 commission from Sly Stallone to do a huge mural depicting the metamorphosis of the Rockys I to IV. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is already in use, so Sly plans to hang the artwork in his Culver City office building, according to Barnes. Stallone too is about to be immortalized: His tuxedoed likeness (no Rocky boxing shorts or Rambo fatigues for posterity, please) will be unveiled at Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London this fall.
What would the week be without more royal wedding fever? Working girl Sarah Ferguson, it seems, is apparently having trouble paying for all the clothes she now needs. The word is that Fergie chose a $7,500 creation by Zandra Rhodes to wear to the gala ball that her father is throwing in her (and Prince Andrew's) honor in early July. She reportedly tried negotiating with Rhodes for a discount, pointing out that the designer would receive tons of free publicity. Rhodes countered that she doesn't need publicity and would prefer cash. Finally, the two reached a compromise: Fergie will pay the bill in full, but only after her July 23 wedding, when her cash flow problems will be over.
While Mark Harmon's publicist was denying reports that he will marry Pam Dawber (dare we call this a Mark & Mindy match-up?), Dawber's publicist confirmed that Mark had replaced the friendship ring he had given her with a diamond one, and that the two, indeed, would marry. "They are both outdoorsy, down to earth and family oriented," says a mutual friend. "They're perfect for each other." But are their publicity firms?

Fantasy Garden
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Fantasy Garden is a simulation game played on Facebook. It's free to play, but players won't get far unless they have a lot of Facebook friends who are also playing (which might encourage kids to add strangers to their social networks) or are willing to spend real money. Players are constantly tempted to spend money on in-game special offers and exclusive items and prompted to share status updates on their newsfeeds.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
In FANTASY GARDEN players take care of an ever-expanding village by collecting raw materials (like wood and rocks), constructing buildings that produce coins and goods, harvesting crops, and so on. Players can recruit animal helpers -- including bears, ponies, dragons, and hamsters -- to help with tasks. Help from other Facebook friends is essential for staffing buildings, unlocking new areas, and sending free gifts of important items. Friends also can visit each other's gardens to collect bonuses.
Is it any good?
Fantasy Garden is a by-the-numbers building sim that, unfortunately, does nothing to set itself apart from dozens of other look-a-like games on Facebook. The cute theme will appeal to some, but there's a distinct lack of interesting characters, scenarios, or rewards to keep players engaged over the long term. It's spammy, too, constantly prompting players to invite friends, post Facebook updates, and spend money on exclusive "limited time" items. The temptation to "friend" strangers is another big issue. Fantasy Garden seems designed to separate players from their money without offering very much in return.

The Pistons were the complementary team of the deal, a crutch for the Nets to acquire the franchise player who was almost a Piston in 2003. Now, the Pistons are the ones who are left crippled, looking for a way to heal their ailing franchise.
Even though the Nets were getting the All-Star players in the deal, the Pistons would have benefited largely from this move. The contract, and terrible attitude, of Rip Hamilton is a necessary dump that the Pistons still need to pursue.
The acquisition of Troy Murphy wouldn't have made many headlines, but his expiring contract would be great to have.
Regardless of the falling out, the Pistons still have a few options they need to explore in order to get on the track to success for 2011.

Historical Traveler Reviews Comfort Suites Downtown Buffalo
Pleasantly surprised
After reading some of the previous reviews, I was worried I would walk into a dingy run down motel. But once I arrived, I was quite surprised and very pleased with what I saw. Appearance wise the place was well kept, front desk service was quick and friendly. Room was very cozy and comfortable. The sink in the washroom was a bit cracked, but it worked just fine, and they could replace the couches since they seem a little old and overused. The location is very good, it was minutes away from the Bus Depot, since I had arrived through Greyhound, this was very convenient. I wouldn't mind staying here again if I visit Buffalo another time. For the price I paid, this was a good deal.
Good location
We stayed here on the way to the Buffalo Airport.
Its probably the only hotel in its catagory in the Downtown Buffalo area that offers free parking in a 24 hour supervised lit covered parking lot.
The check in was smooth, and the employees were pleasent and helpful.
The location is fantastic if you wanted to spend
a night doing something in Buffalo...like going
to Shea's Thearter for a concert...or seeing a
hockey game at the arena.
The tram rail streetcars are right outside the hotel.
There is a TGIF restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel.
The hotel seemed clean, but the rooms needed some
minor work.
Our washroom sink needed some refreshing,with age
taking over it. The heating system doesn't work
if you turn it all the way up. We didn't know this
and didn't have heat all night. The front desk asked
us why we didn't call them, but at 11:30pm the night
before you have an early wakeup call, you don't want
the hassle of someone fixing something when you
are already changed for bed.
They gave us the number for their head office, to
let them know what happened. They didn't cover over
our problem..and told us to report it, which I found
very professional of them.
Check out was easy and the 20 minute drive to the airport was easy to find. They even have a free
shuttle to the airport for those without a car.
Since they don't own the parking lot we stayed in,
we couldn't leave the car at the hotel, which would
have been a nice option.
Awful, awful, awful
Talk about a filthy hotel in a filthy city. When you walk in you feel like you just walked into the 70's. Old, dirty an dated. The rooms are the same. You feel like you are in a road side motel. I would never stay here or tell anybody else to either.
Great Location!!
This hotel is a excellent location for going to the HSBC Arena. We spent the night there, after driving down to Buffalo to see the Neil Diamond concert. There is a trolly just out the back door to catch your free ride to the arena, or it's just a pleasant walk there or back. They also have TGIF resturant right in the hotel so you don't have to go far to have something to eat. The hotel has a nice breakfast in the morning also.
The rooms are clean, and roomy, although showing it's age. Every staff member we met at the hotel was friendly, and helpful right down to the parking attendent . The parking is only a short walk away, from the hotel, but with easy assess back to the Peace Bridge.
Although the rooms were average, it was the staff and the location, that made this a excellent review for us.
We had a great stay there.
No problemjs here
This hotel gets a bad rap. Sure it is not the Hyatt however you are not paying Hyatt rates. Stayed there with my family when we went to see a free concert in the square. The hotel is well situated for restaurants and night life. The hotel was clean and the staff exceptional. Very frendly and extreamly helpful. Sure the offsite parking is a pain however the location is such that you don't need your car. Just park and walk to everything. One note, take a raincoat. I didn't and the day I had to leave it was pouring. Could have gotten pretty wet even with the 5 minute walk. However the maids gave me a large garbage bag and with a few slits I had a great ponco to keep me dry. I went out for a walk at night and the are was so busy I never felt threatened at all.
My only problem with this room was the pullout couch. However they are in the process of changing them and I will definatly stay here again. In fact I am making a new reservation now. Go, stay and enjoy all the buffalo has to offer. The free concerts are great. and after 20 years they really know how to put on a show.
I have stayed here before when it was a Radisson and it has gone straight to ---.
After checking in I wanted to take a shower, however there were no towels in the room after calling down twice, and an hour later, I finally got some.
I went into the shower and found old soap that someone had left in there and hairs in the bathtub.
The shower was scalding hot because there was no cold water in the whole room, not any of the faucets, nowhere. Even the toilet had hot water going to it because when you flushed steam would come out of it. The toilet had a huge crack in it and a hole in the porcelain.
After the horrible shower experience I laid on the bed to watch TV and the picture above the bed came off the wall and barely missed me.
None of the ice machines worked, the furniture and carpet had burn holes everywhere.
The next day when I was packing up I found a used condom by the nightstand.
I told the front desk about all of this and they gave me half off, they should not have charged me at all.
Stay away from this --- hole!
We loved it!
COMFORT SUITES, BUFFALO N.Y. Nov 26 '04
Anxious to see the famous "Rockettes", in the Radio City Music Hall "Christmas Spectacular", we booked an overnight package without first checking the hotel - COMFORT SUITES! After reading the previous report, we were quite apprehensive and prepared ourselves for the worst. At least our tickets were booked!
Located very close to the Peace Bridge (from Canada), we had no difficulty following the directions provided. Valet parking was available, but our package offered complimentary parking a short block away.
On arrival, the lobby looked warm and welcoming - as was the friendly Reception Staff. As instructed, we used our room key-card to access the elevator as well as our suite. (All rooms have the same layout.)
We were delighted to enter a lovely, large living room with kitchenette (fridge, wet-bar, microwave, coffee-maker and supplies) tucked in an area on the left - and a full sized dining table and chairs on the right of the upholstered furniture, including a pull-out couch. Alongside the TV were double doors of beveled glass, with tied-back draperies to provide privacy for the bedroom beyond. (Ideal for parents with children - or even two families.)
We had a king-sized bed, sturdy 'blonde' furniture and a second TV - with remote control. The full bathroom could be accessed from both the living room and the bedroom - and everywhere was CLEAN and well furnished. The previous 'reporters' must not have noticed the "Do Not Disturb" card, placed in a pocket on the inside of the door, along with the instructions to insert it in the key-card slot on the outside.
The fact that there is a TGIF restaurant on the premises is a definite plus. Being open from 6.30am for buffet breakfast and closing late at night, we had no need to look elsewhere for any kind of refreshments.
Other than noting vending and ice machines on every floor, we didn't look for other facilities - except the free Internet access for those with their own laptop computers.
A trolley car runs up and down the middle of the pedestrian boulevard in the heart of the Entertainment District and the elegant Shea's Buffalo Theater is but a few minutes walk away.
We questioned the reception staff about the "Now Open" sign outside - and learned that the previous ownership was Radisson Suites. Apparently, the change to "Comfort Suites" officially took place three weeks ago, after approximately three months of transition. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this property to anybody requiring a downtown location - especially in the theatre district.
Not a place that will bring on a smile
We have arranged to stay the new Comfort Suites Hotel (previously Radissons Suites) for 2 days after visiting the Niagara Falls. Upon check-in, the first impression is a really worn grayish room with an old stained sofa set. The kitchenette is no more than a microwave oven, a fridge and a sink, which doesn't allow much cooking. The rooms also isn't clean, with bits of dirt lying about the carpeted floor. When a light didn't come on we checked the power point behind the sofa, instead finding pieces of used tissues, hair strands and other wastes. It is evident that the room hasn't been cleaned thoroughly for a while, nor did the servicing staff check if the lights were working.
Looking into the washroom the depleted toilet roll has not been changed. We were even more surprised to find a dirty piece of laundry (a woman's tank-top) hanging from our shower curtain. The latter finally convinced us that the room needs to be changed. We approached the front desk which was very accommodating, but the 2 other rooms we checked weren't clean either. Some rooms were stuffy, and the hotel's antiquated ventilation system takes 10-15 minutes to be activated.
Under this situation we informed the hotel that we are changing our stay to 1-night. Regardless, next day the cleaning staff woke us up at 8.30 am(!), knocking loudly wanting to service the room.
The hotel has a very good location in the Theatre District and right by the trolley line, but Chippewa St. is also the main pub stretch which we heard that care must be taken when walking alone at night. We did not however encounter problems. We later read a Buffalo News article about the hotel which mentioned that the hotel is losing money, under its 3rd management within its 11-years history and owes the city money, which will explain the hotel's poor maintenance.
The hotel has some saving graces. Its front desk staffs provides excellent service, the hotel provides free airport transfers and decent complimentary breakfasts at TGIF located in the same building. The rooms are also adequately equipped for stay, though everything is showing age. There is also free wireless internet access at the lobby.
If you can somehow put aside the room cleanliness or have loyalty points to claim for a short stay, this may be a viable option. Otherwise, my suggestion is to find somewhere else. This is not one of those places that will make you smile.
Radisson Needs Work
I recently stayed at the Radisson Suite in Buffalo. The hotel room is roomy, with a large living room, a bedroom, a kitchenette, a large bathroom, and a powder area. The hotel however, needs a major facelift. The d�cor in the rooms is dated by 15-20 years. The light colors on the couch and chairs show off the wear, and even if they are clean, they look dirty. I did not sit on them. The shower did not have any water pressure and when I tried to adjust the shower nozzle the shower head fell apart. The "fitness center" in the basement is very small, and very hot. The hotels location is a major plus. It is very close (3 minute walk) to the bars and restaurants on "Chippewa Street". The nightlife was nice, it made the stay pleasant. The breakfast buffet is included with the room and it is very good.
Great stay in the center of the city
The only problem we had was room service was closed Thanksgiving Day.
We were in town for a concert at the Tralf and the hotel is less than a block away. Great location if entertainment is your reason to visit Buffalo.

Don't Stop Beliebering
The subtitle to the interview (coming in the March 3 issue of Rolling Stone) reads, "How Justin Bieber became the biggest teen idol in the world," so I have to assume at some point RS reporter Vanessa Grigoriadis gets to the subject of his rise to fame (and if he's familiar with the name "Ryan Cabrera"). So far, however, all we're hearing about is Bieber's "shocking" opinions about politics and abortion, to wit:
"I really don't believe in abortion," he revealed. "I think [an embryo] is a human. It's like killing a baby."
And while he thinks it's "really sad" for a woman to become pregnant after being raped, he noted that "everything happens for a reason."
An outrage! That is, until you read the very next statement:
"I don't know how that would be a reason," he conceded. "I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."
What can we come away with from that excerpt? 1) Justin Bieber is a typically ignorant 16-year-old kid who obviously hasn't spent a hell of a lot of time forming his opinions, and 2) Who the fuck cares what Justin Bieber thinks, about abortion or anything else?
Some more gems:
"I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them."
On homosexuality, Bieber said, "It's everyone's own decision to do that. It doesn't affect me and shouldn't affect anyone else."

You know, I'm not so much puzzled at the fact Rolling Stone is bothering to ask a teenager these questions (20 years ago I'd have asked, "Why would they write about someone like him in the first place?" but that ship has long since sailed) as I am amused that the kid is already playing the middle of the road like a regular mealy-mouthed politician. Homosexuality is a "decision" (point to the Christian right), but as long as it's between consenting adults, what's the big deal (point to the moderates and left-wingers)? He doesn't come right out against premarital intercourse (half-point for...people who enjoy sex), provided you're really, you know, in love.
Because as anyone who's been 16 will attest, that's a very restrictive set of criteria.
Bieber's laughably ignorant comments might be cause for concern if he were ever in the running for the U.S. Supreme Court, but it looks like we can safely rule that possibility out:
The Canadian singer also tackled another hot-button issue: healthcare in the United States.
"[Americans] are evil," he says with a laugh. "Canada's the best country in the world. We go to the doctor, and we don't need to worry about paying him, but [in the U.S.], your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills," he said.
Point for the socialists.
What's everybody so pissed about again? That a teenager raised in a fundamentalist household has backward opinions on rape and abortion, or that a mean old Rolling Stone journalist had the temerity to ask him something besides, "What's your favorite video game?"
Personally, I'm more concerned about the kid's lack of facial hair. Shouldn't he have one of those wispy adolescent mustaches by now?

Several Premier League players appear to be enjoying their summer holidays in elite sun-kissed locations away from the wet shores of England, reports talksport.co.uk.
The website has collated a series of images tweeted by the stars themselves - Wayne Rooney is pictured spinning the wheels of steel, Cesc Fabregas poses in a baseball jersey and Tom Huddlestone was lucky enough to watch Dallas Mavericks versus Miami Heat in the NBA Final series.
All this does is make us jealous of the luxurious lifestyle afforded to few by many. But, the stars will be sweating out any excesses just four weeks from now when they return to their day jobs and the physical rigours of preseason training.
By then, many may have several new teammates from Africa, Asia, Europe or even the Americas and will once again have to prove they merit the chance to take to the field in front of tens of thousands of adoring fans in the world's most popular football league.
For while these players are soaking up the sun this month, their managers and the club chairmen and scouts are busy networking and negotiating deals to add depth, options and strength to their rosters.
In the following slideshow, I preview 50 significant deals which could come to a close before the weekend.

HAAAAAA! That was you, we were just a few people behind you when we saw the staff swoop in. Epic Fail!In case anyone was wondering, the crescent ballroom is not a 420 friendly venue. I got kicked out of the saul williams show last night for smoking a joint. I would have got away with it if I had just hit it a couple times and then put it out. But I was being a nice guy and let like 5 people hit it. This was the first time I've ever been kicked out of a venue and it has inspired me. From now on I am going to make it my goal to get thrown out of the crescent everytime I see a show there. Next show I plan on seeing is portugal. the man on april 6th. Who wants to get kicked out with me?

I wonder if that means they'll get added.
Anything shows from 3/26 to 3/31? A friend is coming into town and was curious.
Have any of you listened to I Break Horses? I discovered them while doing Sasquatch research earlier. They're a shoegaze/electronic/psychedelic esque band from Sweden. Anyway, they're playing the Crescent right before I leave for the Gorge and I plan on coming down for it. I think some of you will definitely dig.
