What is Global Positioning System – GPS?
At the end of the 1970s, the US Department of Defense (DoD) conceived a Global Positioning System (GPS), to determine exact location of military forces via the technique of trilateration.
The GPS system is made of 6 satellites constantly orbiting the Earth, at an average altitude of 20,000 kms. At least 3 satellites are always visible from any place on the Earth. Each satellite emits a coded signal containing GPS Location information. A receiver is needed to measure the elapsed time between the signal emission and reception. The satellite to station distance is deduced from this travel time.
Latitude, longitude & altitude measurements are taken from three satellites to provide coordinates of the GPS position. This is called the "pseudo-range" measurement. Satellites emit two types of pseudo-ranges: A precise code (P code),with a precision of around 10 meters, and a coarse code (C/A code), with a precision of around 100 meters. The precise code is encrypted and restricted to U.S. military receivers. Both provide incredible accuracy.
How to Choose the Best GPS Navigation Systems
There are three main types of GPS devices available for consumer and commercial use: GPS Navigation, GPS Tracking and GPS Location.
GPS Navigation is used to locate exact location and get you from Point A to Point B. There are lots of options rom hand-held units equipped with a digital compass to navigators that are installed in cars and commercial vehicles, and more. These are typically used as personal mapping systems and have limited recording/tracking capability.
Businesses are investing in mapping systems to increase productivity by improving route planning. Personal navigation devices, which can be used for geotagging, are also available.
The navigational system, often Bluetooth-enabled, provides several Points of Interest throughout your trip, as well as alternative routes to avoid traffic. GPS receivers to use with your PC, as well as software mapping systems that provide GPS mapping directly to your PC, are available from Deluo and Microsoft.
Used in the automotive industry, GPS Tracking records a log of all vehicle activity over an extended period of time. These devices are usually hidden under the dash and are useful in increasing productivity, and accountability, by maximizing business use of vehicles, and decreasing personal use. The best units provide instant tracking for position accuracy AND speed traveled, while built-in motion sensors only collect data during travel.
GPS Location provides Real-Time positioning and typically does not have tracking capabilities. GPS Location is mostly used for fleet vehicles and emergency location positioning. GPS Location includes a chart and involves "Pinging" the device via satellite or by cell phone, and returning its current position via satellite cellular technology. There is a recurring cost for GPS Location that does not usually apply to GPS Tracking.

The most interesting thing about the action today is that no one really said anything new. We simply had some repetition about how important it is to make a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff and some vague comments about willingness to be flexible.
It may not be substantive, but that was all that was needed to light a fire under the market. Clearly, market players are optimistic that a deal will get done, and they are nervous about missing out on the inevitable rally that will occur when it happens. Thus they jump in at even a hint of progress, although it really is nothing but a negotiating ploy by both sides.
The difficulty is that while we are celebrating at the moment, you can bet that we will have a setback again very soon when a deal isn't made and the politicians start blaming each other. It sure looks like the market is going to keep dancing around as this negotiation plays out and nothing much else will matter.
I'm a bit frustrated that I don't have more going on, but it's a market for intraday flipping and little else. If you catch the move, you can't hang around for long. In fact, just buying weakness and selling strength on an intraday basis is about the best trading strategy to employ right now. Forget holding anything -- just make sure you flip them.

Aldbourne could be flooded for several weeks, the Environment Agency says.
Lottage Road has now been closed to traffic because water levels are so high.
Groundwater started causing a problem in the village last week and since then a number of homes have been affected with the worst hit areas being West Street and Lottage Road.
Brian Warneford, who lives in West Lane with his wife Pauline, first noticed water in their home in the early hours of the morning last Friday.
He said: "The amount of water in our house all depends on the weather. It was quite nice yesterday because it started drying up so there was less water coming through but it was raining again this morning so I imagine there will be more water today.
"While we still have electricity we'll stay in the house because although we can't use the front two rooms we still have the kitchen and upstairs and we have electricity and heating.
"One of the concerns was that we were told we weren't covered by our insurance but we've had a loss adjuster around now and they seem to have come round, I think they had to because we live in a flood risk area."
A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said: "Groundwater levels in the Upper Aldbourne Valley are high and are continuing to rise.
"Levels will remain high and are sensitive to further rainfall forecasted over the weekend.
" Due to the nature of groundwater behaviour, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer and impacts are expected to be similar to the flooding during the winter 2000/01."

Twins play jazz-folk-Celtic fusion
Two up-and-coming Victoria bands are making their way to Coombs this Friday to perform a show during their West Coast Christmas Tour.
Carli and Julie Kennedy and West My Friend will perform at the Soundgarden Dec. 7 at 8 p.m.
Carli and Julie are identical twins who grew up in a musical family in Powell River. The two started piano lessons when they were five and a few years later made a big decision.
"When we turned eight we decided it was time to have our own instruments," Carli chuckled. "So I started on guitar and Julie started on violin."
Today the sisters play a fusion of country, folk, jazz and Celtic music, and have performed over 15 venues in Nashville, Tennessee and represented Canada's Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers as the SOCAN Artist of the Month on the Billy Block Show in February.
They have been nominated for five 2012 BC Country Music Awards, which Carli said is a real honour.
"To be nominated for five awards this year, that's like over-the-top exciting for sure," she said. "We're really excited just to be nominated."
Carli and Julie recently returned from Nashville, where they composed 15 new songs, and some of these will be featured at the show as well as original Christmas tunes and some old favourites.
The girls are teaming up with fellow University of Victoria music school graduates West My Friend for this tour. The group is made up of four talented, young musicians whose music has been described as upbeat, indie-folk, pop and roots.
The groups will play their own originals and some Christmas songs and then come together for the finale.
The show at the Soundgarden in Coombs is $20 available at Cranky Dog Music in Parksville.
They will also be playing Headliners in Nanaimo Dec. 15.
The Soundgarden is located on the Coombs Fairgrounds, for more information visit www.thesoundgarden.org.

NBA center Jason Collins, less than 24 hours after publicly announcing he is gay in a story for Sports Illustrated, gave his first TV interview to ABC's George Stephanopoulos for "Good Morning America."
Watch the interview below.
Some highlights from the Collins interview with Stephanopoulos:
Collins when asked if he always knew he was gay: "I sort of describe it as you know that the sky is blue, but you keep telling yourself it's red."
Collins on initially fighting his feelings: "When you finally get to that point of acceptance, there's nothing more beautiful. Allowing yourself to really be happy and be comfortable in your own skin.
Collins on what President Barack Obama told him: "He was incredibly supportive and proud of me and said this not only affected my life, but others going forward."
Collins' advice for a young athlete who is gay: "It doesn't matter that you're gay. The key thing is it's about basketball. It's about working hard. It's about sacrificing for your team. It's all about dedication. That's what you should focus on."
Collins on loyalty to his teammates being a factor in not announcing sooner: "You don't want to be that distraction because for me it's always been about the team, but I know in my personal life I am ready and the country is ready for supporting an openly gay basketball player."
Collins on whether he is surprised it hasn't happened sooner: "I never set out to be the first and you're sort of waiting around for someone else to raise their hand. I'm ready to raise my hand. But you still look around and are like 'come on guys.'"

The video for my song One Night in NYC has now over 1,000,000 views on Youtube. It's a true story. I recorded it in my mother's basement. I did the song live in just a couple of takes. I used a Roland TR-909 drum machine, Akai S950 sampler, Yamaha TX81z synthesizer, Mackie 1604 mixer, Shure SM58 microphone and Cubase on an Atari 1040ST. I simply muted/unmuted channels on the Mackie with one hand and the microphone in the other telling the story. I never thought much of the song and was embarrassed to play it for people I knew because it was so freaky. In 1996 I offered it to a bunch of labels at the time who all turned the song down (sorry Lenny). I started my own label (Things to Come Records) and released it. In 2001 Chris Liebing flew to New York and convinced me to let him do a remix. He gathered many other remixers and the track went to #1 on the German charts for many weeks. Warner Brothers picked it up and shot the video above at The Limelight. Live life, be inspirired… it's the only way to make songs that will connect with a lot of people.

Chamberlain Farms cantaloupes have been linked to a second salmonella strain — Salmonella Newport this time — found by federal officials, who report 30 people in seven states are sick from the newly discovered strain.
Cantaloupes from the farm were originally linked to a Salmonella Typhimurium strain health officials say is responsible for 240 illnesses in 25 states, including three deaths in Kentucky. The farm recalled all of its cantaloupes in August.
The Food and Drug Administration posted a statement about the second cantaloupe-related strain Sept. 13.
"The link was supported by traceback information collected by state officials in Indiana and Illinois, showing that patients consumed cantaloupe bought at stores supplied by Chamberlain Farms," according to the FDA's statement.
The onset of illnesses linked to the salmonella strains began July 6 and continued through Aug. 30, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A total of 101 people had been hospitalized from the tainted cantaloupe as of Sept. 13, officials said. The CDC said additional illnesses could still be reported because of the length of incubation time required for salmonella infections to develop.
The news of the second strain in cantaloupes — Salmonella Newport 0807 — comes six days after Chamberlain recalled watermelons because Indiana public health officials found Salmonella Newport 0149 on watermelons still in the field.

A bright and optimistic instrumental track, with simple melodic lines expressing a lot of positivity and happiness. The main theme is played on a piano, two other themes are played on a sweet sounding synth lead. They are accompanied with delicate rhytm guitar and piano chords, with quiet synth pads in background, bass and drums. This happy music can suggest some naive optimism in listener, which can be useful in an advertisement or commercial presentation, but it also might be suitable for a wedding video.
This track is available in both MP3 and WAV formats, and in both looped and faded out versions. The archive contains following files:

You've fine-tuned your dairy's breeding protocol into a well-oiled machine.
Cows are identified and sorted accurately. You've trained and retrained employees on proper procedures so that compliance is as perfect as you can make it. Precise records track breeding actions and health programs are in place to ensure that cows are in prime shape.
But what's missing in this sequence? Answer: timely, accurate pregnancy diagnosis. Without this critical component, a breeding program languishes in mediocrity.
Fortunately, there have been a number of advancements in pregnancy diagnosis in recent years, with more on the way. This is good news as you look to improve reproductive performance.
Here's an update on the tools you can use to diagnose pregnancies on your dairy.
Q: What's the latest on progesterone tests?
A: Measuring progesterone in blood or milk as a method to identify open cows was perhaps the first true example of chemical pregnancy-testing, explains Matt Lucy, animal science professor at the University of Missouri. "These tests are excellent at identifying non-pregnant cows, because if a cow tests low for progesterone, then she is not pregnant," he says. "On the other hand, if she tests high for progesterone, she may or she may not be pregnant."
A number of commercially available tests are on the market that can be used on-farm or through your veterinarian.
In-line milk progesterone tests from dairy equipment manufacturers are also coming to the market, with more in development. Europe has been a testing ground for these tools. These daily progesterone tests create a more accurate pregnancy diagnosis than single tests because the additional data offer information over a longer time frame. "False-positive cows would only arise from relatively rare cases with a persistent corpus luteum in the absence of pregnancy," says Lucy.
Q: How do blood protein tests work?
A: These tests can give you an extremely accurate "yes" or "no" answer regarding cow pregnancy status. They are based on the presence of pregnancy-specific protein B (PSPB),which was originally described as being composed of many protein variants. A portion of of these variants are now named PAGs, or pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAG). These proteins are secreted by the placenta and can be easily detected in blood.
"Laboratory-based pregnancy testing is one technology that has improved reproductive efficiency on dairies of all sizes within my practice," says Glenn Pearson, veterinarian in Frederic, Wis.
The original research in this area focused on PSPB which became the basis for the commercially available test BioPRYN from BioTracking LLC.
This enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be run as soon as 30 days post-insemination, and cows must be at least 90 days in milk to make sure proteins from the previous pregnancy do no interfere with results. Tests on virgin heifers can also be run 30 days post-insemination, but you don't have to worry about the 90-day consideration since these animals have not had a previous pregnancy.
The test is more than 99 percent accurate when it calls a cow open. It is 93 to 95 percent accurate when it calls a cow pregnant, with some of the lesser percentage being due to embryonic death at time of or after testing and then a follow- up test finds them open.
The results also allow you to manage open cows. The value of that is you can identify these animals quickly and return them to your breeding protocol.
According to results from the 2007 USDA National Animal Health Monitoring System (the latest data available), about 4 percent of U.S. dairies use blood pregnancy tests to diagnose pregnancy. But that number has soared higher since the survey was conducted. BioTracking's figures indicate that the number of assays it and its cooperating laboratories processed jumped from less than 100,000 in 2005 to 567,470 in 2009.
The technology holds significant potential, and especially so in areas facing large-animal veterinarian shortages, predicts Lucy.
Meanwhile, some advances are in store for this technology.
There are about 20 PAGs produced by the placenta that researchers are beginning to explore, says Lucy. Research on one such PAG was reported in the August 2009 Journal of Dairy Science. The paper details a rapid ELISA PAG test that can be run on-farm in 90 minutes using a temperature-controlled water bath. This test was shown to be accurate from 25 to 29 days post-insemination and can be run as early as 60 days post-calving without interference from the previous pregnancy.
Q: How has ultrasound use evolved?
A: Transrectal palpation of the uterus remains the most common pregnancy diagnosis method. Again, using data from the 2007 NAHMS study, just over 85 percent of dairies relied on rectal palpation to diagnose pregnancies. However, the study also shows that transrectal ultrasound was used on about 27 percent of farms — and the practice continues to climb.
That's because the information-gathering capabilities of ultrasound far exceeds that of rectal palpation, notes Paul Fricke, University of Wisconsin dairy reproduction specialist.
The information from an ultrasound exam is provided in real-time and cow-side, says veterinarian Kory Bigalk, of Zumbrota Veterinary Clinic in Zumbrota, Minn.
In a paper he co-authored with veterinarian Andy Borrowman, VetLogic, Inc., Nampa, Idaho, that was presented at the Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council's regional meetings last fall, Bigalk notes that the use of ultrasound allows for a very quick and accurate diagnosis of ovarian function, including detecting the presence or absence of a corpus luteum, differential diagnosis of luteal and follicular cysts and diagnosis of anovular cows.
Ultrasound is also key in diagnosing twins from 28 to 90 days post-insemination, which enables dairies to use special management considerations and identify high-risk calving candidates. The use of high-quality, high-resolution equipment enables users to accurately determine fetal sex after 60 days post-conception, as well.
Bigalk and Borrowman also report that using ultrasound has increased their speed of pregnancy detection by 20 percent.
This technology also enables users to detect pregnancies earlier than with traditional rectal palpation. There is some debate as to how soon it is necessary to try to determine pregnancy status given the amount of pregnancy loss that occurs as between day 26 and day 33. "Based on current resynchronization strategies, the need for a non-pregnancy diagnosis before 32 to 39 days after timed A.I. is questionable," says Fricke.
Expect this discussion to continue as pregnancy detection technology and breeding protocols evolve.
Check and recheck
The ability to detect pregnancies at very early stages means you need to rethink when you mark cows down as "for sure" pregnant. "If you're able to detect pregnancies at day 25 or so, you're diagnosing when 5 to 10 percent of cows will have embryonic loss. Therefore, you need to look at pregnancies a little differently than you have in the past," says Matt Lucy, animal science professor at the University of Missouri. Cows will need to be rechecked 60 days post-insemination before you consider the pregnancy a done deal.
The perfect preg check
Given the opportunity to design the perfect non-pregnancy diagnosis tool for successful integration into a bovine reproductive management system, Paul Fricke, University of Wisconsin dairy reproduction specialist, says this tool would be:
Sensitive. It would correctly identify pregnant animals.
Specific. It would correctly identify non-pregnant animals.
Simple to use under on-farm conditions.
Able to give instant results.
Even better, the test would able to determine pregnancy status without the need to physically handle the animals. Most currently available methods exhibit one or more of these attributes, but none exhibit all of them, he says.

Dear Members,
This love story is so popular that it was translated from the Pali into Thai/German/English/French/Japanese etc.
In Thailand, schools/universities have this story as external reading.
Kamanita And Vasitthi
[Translated ~By KARL GJELLERUP]
TO THE BANKS OF THE GANGĀ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am05yZeh ... re=related
MY NAME IS KĀMANĪTA. I was born in Ujjenī, a town lying among the mountains far to the south, in the land of Avanti. My father was a merchant and rich, though our family could lay claim to no special rank. He gave me a good education and, when of age to assume the Sacrificial Cord, I already possessed most of the accomplishments which befit a young man of position, so that people generally believed I must have been educated in Taxilā, at the great university. So that it became, my friend, a proverbial saying in Ujjenī: "Talented as the young Kāmanīta."
* * *
When I was twenty years old, my father sent for me one day and said:"My son, your education is now complete; it is time for you to see something of the world and begin your career as a merchant. A suitable opportunity has just offered itself. Within the next few days our king will send an embassy to King Udena in Kosambī, which lies far to the north. There I have a friend named Panāda. He and I have visited and stayed with each other at various times. He has frequently told me that in Kosambī there is good business to be done in the products of our land, particularly in rock crystals and sandalwood powder, and also in artistic wicker‐work and woven goods.
So now, my son, we had better go to the warehouse and inspect the twelve wagons with their teams of oxen and the goods which I have decided on for your journey. In exchange for these items you are to bring back muslin from Benares and carefully selected rice; and that will be the beginning, and I trust a splendid one, of your business career. Then you will have an opportunity of seeing foreign countries with trees and gardens, landscapes and architecture other than your own, and other customs; and you will have daily contact with courtiers who are men of the highest station and of most refined aristocratic manners. All of this I consider will be a great gain, for a merchant must be a man of the world."
I thanked my father with tears of joy, and a few days later said farewell to my friends and my home. What a joyful anticipation my heart beat with as, at the head of my wagons, I passed out of the city gates, a member of this magnificent procession, and the wide world lay open before me! Each day of the journey was to me like a festival, and when the camp‐fires blazed up in the evenings to scare the panthers and tigers away, and I sat in the circle by the side of the ambassador with men of years and rank, it seemed to me that I was in some kind of
wonderful fairyland.
Through the magnificent forest regions of Vedisa and over the gently swelling heights of the Vindhaya mountains we reached the vast northern plain, and there an entirely new world opened itself out before me. It was about a month after our setting out that, one glorious evening, from a palm‐covered hill‐top, we saw two golden bands which, disengaging themselves from the mists on the horizon, threaded through the immeasurable acres of green beneath, and gradually approached each other until they became united in one broad zone.
A hand touched my shoulder,it was the ambassador "Those, Kāmanīta, are the sacred river Yamunā and the divine Gangā whose waters unite before our eyes." Involuntarily I raised my hands, palms together, in reverence."You do well to greet them in this way," my patron went on. "For if the Gangā comes from the home of the gods amid the snow‐clad mountains of the north and flows from the Abode of the Eternal; the Yamunā, on the other hand, takes its rise in lands known to far‐distant 15 heroic days, and its floods have reflected the ruins of Hastinapura, The City of Elephants."
Full of admiration, I looked up to this man from the warrior caste.He took me by the hand and said: "Come, son,look at the goal of your first journey." As it flashed upon my vision I gasped in admiration for there, at a bend of the broad Gangā, lay the city of Kosambī great and splendid in its beauty. With its walls and towers, its piled‐up masses of houses, its terraces,lit up by the setting sun, it really looked like a city of red gold.
That night I slept under the hospitable roof of Panāda, my father's old friend. Early on the following day,The good Panāda, a grey‐haired old gentleman, now conducted me to the markets of the city and, with his friendly assistance, in the course of the next few days I was able to sell my wares at a good profit — and to purchase an abundance of those products of the northern plains which are so highly prized among our people.My business was thus brought to a happy conclusion long before the embassy getting ready to start on its return journey; and I had now full liberty to see the town in the company of Somadatta, the son of my host.

All tyrants will fall, and thanks to your bravery Bashar Al-Assad is next.
To the Syrian military: You are responsible for protecting the Syrian people, and anyone who orders you to kill women, children, and the elderly deserves to be tried for treason. No outside enemy could do as much damage to Syria as Bashar Al-Assad has done. Defend your country – rise up against the regime! – Anonymous
We are doing this in solidarity with Topiary and the Anonymous PayPal LOIC defendants as well as all other political prisoners who are facing the gun of the crooked court system.
The Syrian hack–which follows the hacks of other repressive states in the Middle East–is a major move for a branch/few people/many (?) Anonymous, showing they mean srs bsns when it comes to freedom and democracy, and that for this bunch, their hacktivies are focused on more that just teh lulz. Other Anonymous activities include supporting the current large scale demonstrations in Israel and Chile, and encouraging voting in Argentina's elections last week.

I recently started throwing an SFD Jackal. Sometimes (especially when it was brand new and had more fade) I can throw this disc nearly as far as I throw my bosses, and PD's, which has been around 400-420' compared to 400-450+ on a good boss toss. Does this mean that logically throwing something more understable but faster such as a flow should help me gain more distance? farthest tosses Ive thrown have been with nukes and katanas but i'm a bit inconsistent with these, and the success with the fd gives me confidence in smaller rimmed discs that fly faster than the jackal.
Also thinking about a cfd with hopes that it will keep the fade that the s line had before deflashing

Hodgkins lymphoma remmission now thymoma
I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma Stage 4 in November 2005. (ABVD) then remission in June 2006. In September 2009 I had 3 suspicious fdg positive nodes on pet/ct in my mediastinum. In November 2009 a FNA was suspicious for recurrent Hodgkin's. Was offered and approved for a stem cell transplant and then went for a second opinion at HUP. Drs at HUP had decided that MOPP and radiation would be the best option for me. We went back and forth with both Drs. and decided to let my Dr here treat with R-ICE and radiation but he wanted a new pet/ct to make sure it had not spread given that it had been a few months and his treatment would then be high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. To everyone surprise two of the nodes went away but the one they had done a FNA on was still FDG positive. In January 2010, I had a core biopsy done on the same node and that revealed only normal thymic tissue. Against the wishes of the doctors at HUP but with approval from my doctor here I decided to wait and see. Pet/Ct every 6 months, the node continues to grow and a FDG positive area in the left hillar. New core biopsy says it is a thymoma. Size is now 38mm by 25mm. Does thymic rebound appear FDG positive? What is the difference between thymoma and thymic rebound?
You have a very complicated case. You are getting expert opinions. I am sorry that cannot answer your questions. Perhaps you could get a second opinion on the thymoma by bringing the PET and biopsy slides for a second opinion.

Jazz Trade: Al Jefferson
Receive: 2012 1st from Indiana, 2014 1st from Indiana, TPE
Celtics Trade: Rajon Rondo, Jermaine O'neal
Receive: Pau Gasol, Darren Collison
Lakers Trade: Pau Gasol
Recieve: Al Jefferson, George Hill, Tyler Hansbrough
Pacers Trade: Darren Collison, George Hill, Tyler Hansbrough, 2012 1st round pick, 2014 1st round pick
Receive: Rajon Rondo, Jermaine O'neal
Why FOR:
Jazz - I think now's the time for them to trade Al Jefferson. You don't make the playoffs and have 2 young bigs off the bench, and another big who's a fan fav, something's gotta give.
Celtics - Trade their guard for a big and a young point guard, two pieces that will probably improve them as long as they still have their big 3.
Lakers - Trade Gasol for Al Jefferson who's going to be a good fit next to Bynum and also get a better experienced point guard.
Pacers - Turn draft picks and young players into one of the best point guards in the league

Corsham residents were shocked when a major drugs factory was found in a town centre apartment.
Police were called to Alexander House in High Street just after 6pm last Friday after reports of a water leak in the building.
They were granted access by the management company and discovered extensive hydroponics equipment and 150 cannabis plants in various stages of growth in a top floor apartment that also included loft space.
The flat's electricity supply had also been diverted from the mains.
PC Hazel Anderson, of Corsham Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "There was a lot of equipment in there, and they had taken various steps to cover up the smell of cannabis.
"CID are investigating, and they estimate it has a High Street value of almost £100,000. If we hadn't made this routine inquiry we probably wouldn't have picked this up.
"Usually with drug factories you can hear the noise from the hydroponics equipment or smell something, but from our point of view this was very well-hidden."
Neighbours were shocked to hear about the factory.
Nina Hammett, owner of the Green Ginger health food store opposite, said: "Nobody has been at all aware of what was going on.
"We were here on Saturday observing lots of goings on. I was just totally amazed at how much stuff they were bringing out."
Adam Mills, senior sales negotiator at Allen and Harris estate agents in the High Street, said the property had no prior history with drugs.
He said: "I know the building; I think the vast majority are privately-owned apartments, and quite nice ones at that, and I certainly haven't ever heard of any issues there.
"You don't expect this sort of thing, especially in the little sleepy town of Corsham."
No arrests have been made, and inquires are still ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

text: I KNOW I'm in the minority..But I actually agree with you in that if we were to trade DG for Monta Ellis straight up, we would be a much more complete team. He would give us the one-on-one scorer we've sorely lacked, and we would give him the balanced team that he's always lacked. Win-win right there. lol but thats an argument for another day!

Those are all real.
I have no idea what that means.
Clicked on the link and got a review of the Titans draft.
Butter face.
It took a while, but I finally realized it's the same girl doing 3 in a row, then a new porn star does 3 etc..,
They all kind of run together on that thumbnail page...greasy, plastic breasts, hair, and faces.
I thought they were clips from "Beauty and the Geek."
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
Here's my initial assessment. Further review would require contact. Those girls are "in shape", but they have mostly unattractive faces, "That 70's" hairstyle and the same style of clothing. Oh, and what's with the way they hold their hands on their hips? Are they trying to pull their pants down?
you saw all that, I could get beyond the big balloon boobies
I thought the porn industry was in a boom period. I'm surprised to see that these girls need to make extra money on the side doing football stories.
Perhaps all is not well in Van Nuys.

BREA – A search was under way for three males suspected of leading police on a short pursuit after burglarizing a home late Monday morning in a residential neighborhood, police said.
About 11:15 a.m., officers were sent to a reported burglary in progress near Balsa Avenue and State College Boulevard, Brea police Sgt. Jim Griffin said.
The males fled in a taxi and led officers on a pursuit into a commercial area in the 1300 block of Pioneer Street, near Lambert Road, Griffin said.
The suspects then ran and officers from Brea, Fullerton and La Habra surrounded an apartment complex at 570 Imperial Highway. A California Highway Patrol helicopter assisted.
"We don't know if they stayed in the complex or if they were able to escape that perimeter," Griffin said.
Griffin said that police had information that two of the suspect may be twins.

Washington, D.C. -- The National Retail Federation welcomed plans announced by the Obama Administration Tuesday to streamline hundreds of government regulations, but said the plan does not go far enough.
"This is a step in the right direction but at the same time the Administration is promising to reduce regulations, the government is continuing to crank out new rules that hamper the ability of the business community to create desperately needed new jobs," NRF senior VP for government relations David French said. "It's time to stop the presses at government agencies and on Capitol Hill and focus on reform of what's already on the books."
French cited examples such as pending regulations proposed by the National Labor Relations Board that would make it easier for unions to win organizing elections, rules under health care reform that will force many employers to reduce their workforces in order to meet the increased payroll costs of government-mandated health coverage, trade barriers on textiles and apparel, OSHA recordkeeping requirements and the Commerce Department's agenda for consumer privacy rules that could curtail improvements to online shopping.
President Obama signed an executive order in January requiring federal agencies to review business regulations and streamline or eliminate them where possible. The Administration Tuesday unveiled a package of regulations that have been identified for action, and said businesses would "likely" save $10 billion over the next five years.
"We've been presented with a package of rules the Administration says should be streamlined, but it's vital that what has been proposed actually be accomplished," French said.
In addition to reducing government regulation, French said the Administration should focus on assisting employers, especially small businesses, with regulatory compliance rather than aggressively pursuing fines and penalties.
NRF: Proposed regulatory relief must go further

JACKSON COUNTY, Texas - A pair of suspected illegal immigrants was critically hurt after jumping from the top of a moving 18-wheeler on Highway 59 in Jackson County.
Sheriff's officials said the pair made the jump just as the truck was exiting the highway in the town of Edna Tuesday night.
"They were desperate to get off," said Sheriff AJ Louderback.
Louderback said the driver of the truck and his wife had no idea a woman, 23, and her niece, 10, had crawled inside the rig's air dam until they heard them banging on the cab of the truck. At that point, the driver's wife dialed 911.
"We're in a truck on 59 and we have some illegals or something up in our cab because they're banging up there," the woman is heard telling a sheriff's dispatcher. "We need a cop to meet us somewhere so we can get them down and arrest them. I guess they're thinking they're cold now … they're banging up there for us to stop and let them down and we won't do it."
The dispatcher is then heard instructing the couple to keep driving until they reached a truck stop off the side of the highway.
Louderback said deputies felt the truck stop would be the safest place for the truck pull over. Louderback said a deputy was following the truck as it began to exit the freeway.
"We observed two persons jump off the top of the cab and hit the ground," said Louderback. "Vehicle is probably moving somewhere between 30 and 40 miles an hour and that's a height about close to 10 foot."
Louderback said the woman suffered traumatic brain injuries and was air lifted to a hospital in Corpus Christi. Louderback said the girl suffered a broken hip and compound fracture of the right leg. The girl was taken by Life Flight helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston.
Louderback said both are from El Salvador and are believed to be in the country illegally. Sheriff's officials said the pair was trying to make their way from the Valley to New York to be with family.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have also joined the investigation.

|I love this route - a little history to help w/ the route description though...when the route was originally bolted the first pitch was the easiest, including the roof, however around 2005 some climbers jumped on it after recent moisture had come through the area and key jugs were broken off of that roof. This significantly changed the route and made the first roof harder than the second. These changes make the climber go through the fist roof using specific holds with a sequence that isn't the most natural. Back in the day though the jugs were nice and you could easily match - taking away any need to lead into that section w a specific sequence (if I remember correctly you lead into it with your Left hand reaching high from those super nice under clings) with the route trending to the right away from you and then back left once you get up over the roof.

Thanks for the history - good to know I've not completely lost my mind? Hadn't been there in years and just climbed it last weekend. Volunteered for the 'crux' pitch because I thought I remembered the first roof being much easier. Instead it was much harder - 10d or maybe a bit harder?
Any contact info for the handle vandals? :) Hope they learned something that day!
Also there is a very nice single pitch line (10ish) to the left of the first pitch. Can't miss the shiny hangers - wish they'd paint those!

After climbing it it feel like 5.9. standard rack to 4in doubles for medium-size cams would be helpful

|Led this route 2005, 2007, 2009 and today, 4/23/2012. There are definitely a few holds missing on roof1 making it more sequnce dependent, but I still think 10c is still accurate. I also led the single pitch immediately to left of P1 and thought that pitch was 10d.

|@ Stan Pitcher & Dr. Dan - Unfortunately, I do know the vandals and am glad to report - they don't climb any more....More unfortunate, I found the missing holds while free soloing the route!! Made for an exciting day to say the least.

|Friend and I strongly disliked this route. Pretty much 5.8+/9- climbing up to the roof, which is a one move wonder at 10C. Rope drag was completely heinous, strong recommend alpine draws below/above the roof. Did not continue to P2.

Double Pork Mini Burgers with Apple-Tarragon Salsa Served on Split Apple Fritters These burgers are a perfect blend of savory and sweet.
This is a midwest-inspired homey type burger. It is a take on the old pork chops and applesauce dish my mom made back in the 50s.
I was fortunate to spend several months in Germany and enjoyed many of the foods and flavors I've incorporated into this recipe.
This midwest-inspired brat burger is packed with many great flavors...like bella mushrooms from Illinois. The kraut-chili topping with the Thai chili paste gives the kraut zing.
I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Every year, in the nearby town Mt. Angel, Oktoberfest is celebrated. The area was settled by many Swiss and German pioneers.
When mangoes come in season here in Southern FL we scramble for new ways to use these beautiful fruits up. Fruit and pork just go hand in hand here, and tropical flavors are very popular here.
With 3 kids and a pool, we grill alot of burgers for quick easy dinners! I grow bored with a plain patty, so I try to come up with creative burgers for us to try.
Had friends over and all I had was some gr pork. well after some trials and errors my daughter and I came up with this recipe.
When I studied in Puebla Mexico for a college semester my host mom made outstanding meals every day. The dish I remember most was Chiles En Nogadas.
It's a happy fact that more and more people are discovering the great change-of-pace pleasure of cooking and eating outdoors-in the backyard, on the terrace, by the shore, at a campsite, even afloa
You'll never guess the surprise flavor comes from crushed pretzels
Traditional bratwurst is made with 60% pork and 40% veal. Instead of making this in link form I use ground and make it a burger.
You haven't lived till you've wrapped your lips around one of these Smokin Sweet Hog Burgers. It's like a little piece of hog heaven brought to you by the BBQ Gods.
Assemble all ingredients before starting to prepare the burgers. This will mean chopping your oregano and onion and also cutting the pineapple rings.

Military firefighters were unable to save two sleeping soldiers whose tent at Camp Bastion had been engulfed by flames, an inquest into their deaths heard today.
The bodies of Privates Dean Hutchinson, 23, who was based in Hullavington, and Rob Wood, 28, were recovered from the remains of the fire-ravaged tent.
They were killed when intense flames swept through a logistical centre at the Helmand province HQ in the early hours of February 14, 2011.
Privates Wood and Hutchinson, who served with The Royal Logistic Corps, were sleeping in the tented Transport Troop office so they could respond more quickly when vital supplies arrived at Camp Bastion.
Eyewitnesses have described smelling smoke coming from the area housing a 32-inch flat screen TV, boiler and fridge and seeing flames coming from cabling leading to the air conditioning unit.
The inquest in Salisbury, which is due to last until next week, heard evidence from one firefighter who was on duty that night.
Michael Coulson, who has since left the Royal Air Force, said his team arrived at the scene five minutes after receiving the emergency call.
"We were told the location and that there was a tent fire. I believe that's all the information we had at the time," he told the hearing.
"In my notes I recorded arriving in five minutes and it certainly was not longer.
"We couldn't go particularly fast because all the roads are heavily potholed. There are drainage ditches either side of the road, so there is no room for error. We made as best haste as we could.
"As we approached we could see a lot of smoke from the road, so we knew it was not a small fire.
"Initially when arriving the entire area was ablaze and after we extinguished the fire there was very little left of the tent.
"I remember there being some tent poles."
Mr Coulson, a former corporal, said the fire was put out within three minutes.
"It was very quick to extinguish the fire," he said.
"I remember being told that a fire had started by big sparks. I proceeded to ask if there was anything in the tents or containers nearby that would cause problems as I knew it was a logistical area.
"After the fire was extinguished we were told there were two individuals missing.
"We tackled the fire very quickly, whether there was people reported or not."
Mr Coulson said that the bodies of Privates Wood and Hutchinson were located towards the centre of the 18ft by 24ft canvas tent.
The inquest has previously heard there were delays in alerting the fire brigade because soldiers at the scene did not know the emergency 222 number and struggled to find it.
Pte Wood, known as "Woody", had become a father to a boy, Noah, shortly before he died. He was a driver port operator, posted to 17 Port and Maritime Regiment, and lived in Marchwood, Hampshire.
Pte Hutchinson, from Spennymoor, County Durham, was a driver and had seven years' service with the Army.
The inquest continues.
