Category: Pc - Tags: Sato Usb Flash Drive, Solid Alliance, Solid-alliance, Usb Flash Drive, Usb Thumb Drive
The family name "Sato" is the most used in Japan, and today Solid Alliance released a USB thumb drive in this name's honor. It's not really in honor as it's said Japanese people don't like sharing the same name as other people. They don't feel different, or special.
Now Solid Alliance has given the Sato family a reason to feel special.
Why not?
If you haven't noticed, there's a Sato who is participating in the next Olympic Games in Beijing.
As for specifications, our Sato provides 1GB of memory.
It's available now on GeekStuff4U.com for 29€.

Formula One rules say "team orders which interfere with a race result are prohibited" and governing body the FIA has launched an investigation.
But former team owner Stewart said: "I saw nothing wrong with what occurred."
The triple world champion said asking drivers to back off to make sure of the GP win "was the wise thing to do".
Talking to BBC Radio Five Live, Stewart said "the right man won", although he added that Hamilton had also driven a "beautiful race".
The 66-year-old said Alonso was "on pole oposition, he made a very good start, he took a lead that allowed him to have a good clear bit of air behind him.
Stewart said Monaco could not be compared with Ferrari's infamous decision to ask Rubens Barrichello to move over and hand Michael Schumacher the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix.
That decision led to the current rule on team orders being added to F1's sporting regulations.
"The Schumacher-Barrichello case was blatant - he reduced his speed by maybe 30 or 40mph to have Schumacher pass him before the finishing line," Stewart said.
"It was a pretty blatant thing, it wasn't enjoyed by the crowd, it wasn't enjoyed by the media.
"But it's a very difficult thing to start telling team owners that if you are running first and second that you should keep driving your drivers to the absolute limit of their ability.
"I think it was a great result for Lewis Hamilton to finish second in the Monaco Grand Prix and get another podium finish.
"What if he had tried a little bit too hard in these last laps in Monaco and slid off the race track, hit a barrier and taken the Mclaren out of the race?
"Valuable world championship points would have been lost by McLaren."
Stewart added that he believed Hamilton would win races in his debut season.
"He is a remarkable young man and I think we are going to see him winning Grands Prix," he said.

>Suggestions and Feature Requests>*Any* activity streak widget
Is there a way to do this?
Anyways, I've used the graph to display my runs for the week, and so it shows what type of run, how far, and on what day. Now I know I can make an additional graph for biking. I can also change the settings on my current graph to any activity, but that just shows if it was a bike or a run. Can I have one graph, that shows my bikes, and my runs, with what specific type they are?
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
Yes, but then it only says Run or Bike. I'd like it to say Bike, Long Run, Easy Run, etc.
Yeah, you can't do that with multiple activity types. The sub types only show up when you select an activity type.
I can see why you would want to, but I can also see why you wouldn't. The graphing package eric uses has limitations, so you will have to see if this is something he can change.
an amazing likeness
I agree with your first suggestion -- I'd like the "streak" widget to be able to have more than one activity behind it.
I think what you want, you can get within an activity (as per sample below), but not across different activities.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
edit:: And if you were looking at my log, it doesn't look like that, but it's only because I've just picked back up running, so I've only had one logged.
Yeah, that's the graph I have now. It works well enough...multiple activities aren't a big deal.
You know you can do two (or more) graphs and put them all on your summary page, right?
This would at least give you everything in one place.
Clay N,
I'll add any activity streak widget for the next release.
As for the graphs, the code will always group the data to keep the charts simple. I don't plan on changing this behavior in the immediate future.
eric :-)

How did you three meet and start making music?
We met in a dingy club while we were dancing when we were 14.
You have a melting pot style that's hard to define. How would you describe Young Fathers' music?
You get there by going. We make it and it's for other people to decide.
Alloysious and Kayus, how do you feel your Liberian/Nigerian backgrounds influence the sound, if at all?
Alloysious: I heard African music and gospel stuff as a child from my mum – I don't know if any of that has consciously crept in.
Kayus: Aye, when I hear some of the stuff I've recorded it sounds like some of the things my mum or dad would say, the mannerisms in which they would say them. We don't go out of our way to make it obvious, but it's just a part of us.
What are some acts your listening to recently? Any groups from Africa you're currently into?
K: When I went to Nigeria at Christmas I was listening to a lot of Sunny Ade – he was performing next door to where I was visiting at Park View in Lagos (I was staying in Sobo). It just made me remember I used to hear him at weddings at parties so I bought a CD for the nostalgia.
G: Tinariwen, Lou Reed's Transformer.
All: Wizkid. Wande Coal.
Tape One's been floating around for some time online and is now getting the official Anticon release. Have you started working on new material, what would you like to do next?
TAPE TWO is coming out in March and then tour, busy in the studio, building a new album for the autumn.

The Elk River Dance Team wound up seventh place overall for the season in the Northwest Suburban Conference after the main conference meet Saturday in Maple Grove.
The ERDT tied for fourth and fifth in high-kick and placed seventh in jazz-funk counting four five-team regular-season meets and the 10-team conference meet. In the conference meet Saturday, the ERDT placed fourth in high-kick and seventh in jazz. The ERDT missed one of the high-kick meets when they were the only team that couldn't make it because of a storm.
The Maple Grove Crimson Connection swept all the championships —
jazz and kick, conference meet and overall season — and captured its eighth consecutive overall crown.
The Blaine Bengalettes placed second in all categories and Centennial, in its best showing thus far, placed third in all categories.
ERDT had one all-conference pick, Rachel Anderson.
Next on the schedule are invitationals at Blaine on Jan. 15 and Wayzata on Jan. 22.
The ERDT will host the sectional meet on Feb. 2.

OK, welcome to the call to arms organisational thread.
If you want to know how to take part, go read this guide:
If you want to know what all the fuss is about, look at these front page RPS posts
Assuming nobody has a problem, I'm going to try and lead us through this. I may need a break at some point, so if somebody else could be ready to fill in, pending emergencies or AFKness, that would be handy.
I want to keep a nice and simple structure, composed of a few parts:
Command Group - Myself, our comms liasion, and 1 - 2 scouts/general dogsbodies. Sat in the Supreme Giraffe and Chums mumble channel
Intro Group - 2 - 3 "Greeters", who will invite people to the outfit, answer early questions, and get them shuffled off ASAP to combat squads. Also new arrivals. In the Platoon 1 mumble channel.
Combat squads - an estimated 8 squads. There needs to be a radio officer for each. This can or can not also be the squad lead, depending on preference and availability of people. Also in here is a mix of new and returning players. In the various Squad Play channels.
Roles and Responsibilities
Squad leads - Be nice. Be proactive. Realise that things will be slower, and you'll die to small enemy forces. Make sure you have comms binds set up in case you lack an RO. I'll see if I or someone else who knows what they are doing can get this sorted out at the start of the night, but if not, here is a guide on how to make recruitment work:
Radio Officers - Anyone who even might be this, please set up one extra mumble bind. You want to create a shout, on any suitable button, to the "Supreme Giraffe and Chums" channel.
This will be used to give sitreps, ask questions/make requests of the leadership, and any other needs you may have. Anyone who thinks that they might do any leader role should do this.
Greeters - Be friendly, knowledgable. Invite people to the outfit. Be at least Giraffe Beacon rank so you can do invites (we can arrange promotions for those who need it).
Scouts - A couple of people, happy to fly around scythes and report back to me what they see, and to do any other small tasks that show up in the night.
Liason - Work with other outfits as and where necessary. Cooper has already pencilled himself in for this.
Grunts - Help out the new guys. Be friendly, but not too noisy. Go along with your SL, don't whitter too much about game balance. Have fun. Shoot lasers.
Supreme Giraffe - Give all squads direction. Contact each squad radio officer directly. Keep the platoon as a whole moving. Keep the herd as a whole informed as to what they are doing and why.
Original Post
So, there's been some muttering about this happening again, possibly on Thursday/ (Muttering as in Jim tweeting to the world about it).
So we want to plan for it. I think having a thread for it separately is a good idea.
Some things to note:
- Last time we peaked at ~120 players. It will only get this big again if there's a front page post, and then only maybe. Need to be ready for this sort of scale however.
- Having squads within a platoon open recruitment appears to work just fine now, as long as the squad leads know what they are doing. We should be using this!
- New players fight much, much weaker than our regular groups. Strategic decisions need to allow for this. (Basically, use at least one more squad than you think you need)
- Having a 10-member big strategic leader comms channel probably won't work, need to decide on a command-comms structure that will.
- Getting some good AAR work done would be great for general outfit bigging-up.
I'll update this post as we go along.

Network Ownership
|By the Project for Excellence in Journalism
It has not been an easy year for the big media companies — or, more precisely, the ever-expanding corporate entities that own the significantly smaller 'big' three broadcast television networks.
Disney (which owns ABC), Viacom (which owns CBS) and GE (which owns NBC Universal) all watched their stock prices fall over the first three quarters of 2005. And all three entered 2006 with major changes ahead. Disney was replacing its CEO. Viacom was splitting into two separate entities. NBC was working to regain the strong ratings and financial footing it had when it merged with Vivendi Universal, as its entertainment offerings lagged and Microsoft pulled out of its partnership in MSNBC, one of the network's cable news offerings.
One method of evaluating the companies and their individual components is to compare revenue totals for the parent companies with those of their subdivisions. Every year, Advertising Age publishes a list of the 100 largest media companies, listing their worldwide parent revenue as well as total revenue for their television and cable holdings. Figures for broadcast still combine news with other programming, but sampling the three figures gives a sense of how crucial (at least financially) the news components are to the parent company. We'll look at one company at a time.
Viacom posted total company revenue for 2004 of $22.5 billion.1
Its television revenue (broadcast and cable) accounted for 68% of that figure ($15.2 billion) and broadcast alone made up 38%, or $8.5 billion. The share from broadcast (network and local stations), moreover, was up over 2003, but that is due mainly to Viacom's total revenue falling, not broadcast's increasing. Total revenues fell $3.9 billion from 2003 while broadcast revenues increased slightly, by $700 million.
In 2004, Disney's total company revenue was $30.8 billion. That was up from $27 billon in 2003.
Television made up 36% of that with $11.2 billion. And broadcast revenue in 2004 made up $4.8 billion of that, matching revenues from the previous year. That broadcast share was a slightly smaller percent of the company's overall revenue (16%, down a point from the year earlier).
Meanwhile, GE took in total revenue in 2004 of $152.4 billion, up some $18 billion from 2003. Perhaps unsurprisingly, television (broadcast and cable combined) accounted for a small component at such an expansive parent company. In 2004, NBC's broadcast revenue increased to $7.5 billion from $6.2 billion a year earlier, but made up just 5% of GE's total company revenue.
Cable contributed just 1% to the overall picture. And what will happen to that small figure following Microsoft's decision to cede the MSNBC cable network to NBC Universal is uncertain.
Television Revenue as Percent of Total Corporate Revenue, 2004
Source: Advertising Age, "100 Leading Media Companies," 2004 data, www.adage.com.
Journalism, of course, is only a tiny fraction of those figures. If 5% of GE's revenue is derived from broadcasting and cable, what comes from news is only a very small portion of that — a portion harder still to determine. Along with MSNBC, GE's cable operations include Bravo, USA and more. NBC's revenues include the hours of entertainment programming, not just the fraction that comes from news programming. The same rule of thumb plays out across the other networks. As companies grow and assume increasingly diverse industries under their various umbrellas, news, even if it happens to be growing in absolute terms, becomes an ever-smaller component.
For example, consider NBC and its position within NBC Universal, a division of conglomerate GE. With six separate business divisions (it was an even more daunting 11 until mid-2004) NBC Universal is something of an odd-man-out in a lineup that includes GE Infrastructure, GE Industrial, GE Commercial Financing, GE Healthcare and GE Consumer Finances. The same parent company that brings you the "Nightly News" and the "Today Show" is also creating aircraft engines, locomotives, private-label credit cards, medical imaging technologies and nuclear energy equipment.
On the other hand, when Viacom decided to divide into two entities, one based on broadcast television and the other on cable television, CBS News became a larger component of its new conglomerate parent.

NBC Universal (GE)–At A Glance
Source: Division descriptions taken from General Electric's corporate Web site NBC Universal divisions taken from NBC Universal Web site, www.nbcuni.com * Data from Broadcasting & Cable, Annual Ranking of broadcasting and cable networks
It's been over two years since NBC and the French company Vivendi Universal merged their holdings into a single media company, NBC Universal (GE holds 80% of it, Vivendi Universal the remainder). At the time, in 2003, NBC was a broadcast network powerhouse with the top morning news program, the top evening news program and a coveted entertainment lineup. Vivendi Universal, on the other hand, reportedly brought $1.7 billion in debt to the relationship. Heading into 2006, however, NBC had lost some of its value. NBC Universal's third- quarter revenue declined 26%. The once top-rated network now sits in the No. 3 position for prime-time ratings.
The cable division, NBC Universal Cable, reached an on-demand programming deal with Time Warner Cable in late 2005. The agreement, which includes carriage agreements for USA Network, Universal HD, mun2 and Telemundo Puerto Rico, will equip programs on several NBC properties with "Start Over." As the name implies, Start Over allows viewers to, start programs over once the programs have already begun. Reportedly, the deal "also includes the rights to on demand content from NBC News (Nightly News and Meet the Press) and for the first time, cable…"2 including programs from MSNBC and CNBC.
On December 24, 2005 , however, Microsoft announced its plans to walk away from its joint-venture cable channel, MSNBC, giving full control to NBC while maintaining joint control of MSNBC.com.
In many ways news — along with its strong sports presence derived from the Olympics — seems to be the network's strongest asset. Its nightly newscast, morning news program and Sunday morning news shows all lead in viewership. For some time now, "Nightly News" and "Today" have earned more advertising revenue than their competition (though that may be shifting in the near future). Those two and "Meet the Press" are audience leaders in their respective spots. In other words, while NBC News is a small part of the overall picture for NBC Universal, it has the undeniable cachet of being the leading force in network news.
The Walt Disney Company–At A Glance
Source: All descriptions taken from The Walt Disney Company's Web site * Data from Broadcasting & Cable, Annual Ranking of broadcasting and cable networks
By the time James B. Stewart's book "Disney War" was released in February 2005, anyone paying attention knew that all was not magic in "The Magic Kingdom." While Michael Eisner, who had come to be perceived as a public and fiscal liability to the company, was planning to retire in 2006, the Disney board had another plan. In March 2005 the board elected Robert A. Iger (president and COO of the Walt Disney Company) to the position of CEO. Iger took the position on October 1, 2005 just weeks after he and Eisner appeared at the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland.
Among the big three networks, ABC is the hot entertainment property and has become a new model for prime-time success (a model quickly duplicated at CBS). While other networks were developing more and more reality programming, ABC trotted out the scripted programs "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives." Programs like "Grey's Anatomy," "Invasion" and "Commander in Chief" followed, attracting audiences and winning over critics. The network even generated new reality hits with the new series "Dancing with the Stars" and with "Supernanny."
On cable, the company's namesake Disney channel has reportedly become the channel of choice for the lucrative 'Tween' market (ages 6 to 14). The channel launched the career of Hilary Duff, has turned former the Cosby kid Raven Symone into a virtual brand powerhouse, and appears not to have lost its touch when it comes to turning small screens into movie screens (think "The Wonderful World of Disney") with features like the made-for-cable " Twitches," which scored a massive 21.5 million viewers over four broadcasts in a single weekend.3 According to an article in USA Today, the Disney Channel charges cable operators nearly twice as much as its most obvious competition, Nickelodeon (owned by the new Viacom company). In 2001, the Disney Channel had audience of 1.6 million viewers. That increased to more than 2.1 million in 2005.4
Disney's holdings also include the cable sports network ESPN.5 Launched on September 7, 1979 , the 24-hour cable network has more than 89 million subscribers in 2006 and broadcasts more than 5,000 hours of live and original sports programming. The network and its signature SportsCenter program (watched by some 88 million monthly viewers) are part of an expansive franchise that includes ESPN2, ESPN Classic, ESPNews, ESPN Radio, a magazine and the sports-themed ESPN Zone restaurants.6
Heading into 2006 Disney's stock prices climbed to better than anticipated levels thanks, at least in part, to the strong performance of its theme parks, the acquisition of Pixar Studios and a merger of its ABC Radio holdings with Citadel Communications.7
For ABC, it was the first period of sustained positive news since the merger with Disney more than a decade earlier. To what extent would that carry through to the benefit of ABS News? Unlike NBC, this network is housed within a larger corporation that is almost entirely focused on media and communications.8 Eisner, as CEO, was rooted primarily in the world of Hollywood film and TV production; Iger comes squarely from network broadcasting. Whether that lineage makes a difference — and a difference for news — will reveal itself in time. Disney's assets are still much more heavily focused on broadcast entertainment rather than broadcast journalism.
The other distinction inside ABC is that David Westin, president of the news division, has no journalism background at all. A lawyer by training, he is close to Iger. With the departures in 2005 of Andrew Heyward at CBS and Neal Shapiro at NBC , he is also now the senior man among the three network news division presidents. And the death of Jennings , the retirement of Barbara Walters and the departure of Koppel mean that Westin hired many of the current ABC anchors. Vargas, Woodruff, Stephanapoulos and the new "Nightline" crew all earned their positions under his charge. People inside ABC have told the Project that Westin was sometimes dismissed by many of the best-known and most powerful journalists at ABC for not really understanding news and being a poor defender of the news division, internally and externally. Going into 2006, however, ABC News was now David Westin's in a way it had never been before.
CBS–At A Glance
Source: All descriptions taken from The CBS Corporation Web site * Data from Broadcasting & Cable, Annual Ranking of broadcasting and cable networks
At the end of 2005, Viacom announced that it would divide its vast cross-media holdings into CBS Corporation and what was being called the new Viacom. CBS Television would join UPN,9 Viacom Outdoor, Viacom Television Stations Group, Paramount Television, King World, Simon & Schuster, Showtime, Paramount Parks and Infinity under the banner of CBS Corporation. The other company, which would operate under the Viacom name, would include the MTV networks and their associated stations (VHI, Nickelodeon, Spike, TV Land), BET, Paramount Pictures, Paramount Home Entertainment and Famous Music. Les Moonves would become CEO of CBS Corporation while Tom Freston would assume the CEO position at the new Viacom. Going into the split Viacom revenues had climbed 10%, led by its cable holdings.10 When the new companies launched on January 1, 2006 , the stock market reacted favorably, with CBS stock closing at $26.20 a share, 70 cents higher than it opened.11
CBS has benefited from some solid entertainment programming, starting with its "CSI" franchise. A review of the top 25 programs (based on end of 2004-2005 season ratings), indeed, reveals CBS the leader with 12 programs making the list. They included "60 Minutes," which, while falling in the ratings, continued to place high in weekly Nielsen rankings. CBS news programming as a whole, however, continued to fall behind. Both the evening news and the "Early Show" continued to occupy third place among the three broadcast networks.
For CBS News, one crucial change heading into 2006 was the arrival of Sean McManus, president of CBS Sports and son of the famed sportscaster Jim McKay, to head the news division as well. McManus is now in charge of the same divisions, news and sports, that Roone Arledge used to build his empire, turning ABC News into the dominant network news operation of the 1990s. While McManus brings a strong track record with him to the job, he has no prior hard-news experience, and the network news business itself is more complicated, though arguably less influential, than when Arledge took over ABC. But like Arledge, McManus also has a news division that is in third place in many key programming slots and a mandate as a consequence to take risks and make big changes. Leslie Moonves, chairman of CBS, was quoted in an October 27, 2005 , Baltimore Sun article as saying, "I've seen him take CBS Sports from an also-ran to what I consider the pre-eminent network in sports… He's a great leader. He's very smart… He's a perfectionist when it comes to production. And I think these skills will translate when he heads news."12
What difference does the splitting of Viacom make in all this? It makes the network a more important part of its parent company financially and operationally than either of its broadcast network counterparts are to their corporate parent. The new company is also headed by Moonves, a man who, as he told Washington Post, considers himself "…still a network broadcaster at heart."13 On the other hand, wary traditionalists also point out that if the future of network news rests online and not over the airwaves, CBS will now be led in that transition by an entertainment broadcaster and a sports broadcaster.

Jared Dudley acknowledges he has heard his name in trade rumors, but he prefers to stay with the Phoenix Suns and continue his leadership role rather than leaving just because the situation is not looking bright as of now.
"Just because our team's bad," Dudley said. "I don't want to jump off. No.
"I am frustrated that we're losing. I'm tired of seeing the same mistakes. But I'm willing to put the work in to make those mistakes be very limited, if not at all."
While Dudley is a realist, he knows that if the Suns were to trade him, he'd want to be on a winning team.
"It's easy to be in a good mood when you're winning," he said. "When you're losing, you need to stay in the gym, stay on guys. You never want to leave. I'll be the first one to tell you that if I had to leave, I don't want to go to a team that's bad.
"Phoenix, city-wise, is one of the top 5 destinations to go to, so why not just stay here and just get better?"

Chemtrails – Myth Or Malicious? Here Are The Facts
When I was a kid, I used to look up and wonder what that cloudy trail was that followed airplanes tracking high up in the sky. Well now I know as I hang out there regularly, but there is a conspiracy theory that's been picking up some major speed lately that those contrails are really 'chemtrails': where the government is using airplanes to dump chemicals into our atmosphere for a variety of possible reasons.
I fought with myself about getting involved with this debate as I know that when our minds are made up (or our beliefs for that matter), no amount of reason to the opposite can break through. Not to mention that, but when we get an idea in our heads, any idea it isn't hard to find 'proof' of it. For example, one day eggs are bad for you, the next they're good and there is extensive corroboration for both sides, supposedly. So, after watching my Facebook feed blow up in argument for the last few days, I gotta cave and throw my hat into the chemtrail debate ring… For starters, here's the most scientific definition of what contrails (or condensation trails) are that I could find:
When a jet engine is spewing out hot, humid air into an atmosphere that is cold and has low vapor pressure, the result is condensation. The water vapor coming out of the engine quickly condenses into water droplets and then crystallizes into ice. The ice crystals are the clouds that form behind the engine. This is why the streaks are called contrails, short for "condensation trails." To help explain it, scientists liken it to seeing your breath on cold days. You may have noticed that puffs of breath dissipate quickly on dryer days. The same is true of contrails: When the atmosphere is more humid, the contrails linger, but when the atmosphere is dry, the contrails disappear more quickly.
Now as a pilot myself, I can personally vouch for the veracity of that definition and that should by itself squash any theories to the contrary, but if the above words are having trouble quieting the paranoid alarm bells that are still going off in your head think about these fiver facts that don't require an engineering degree to understand:
#1 – Ever since airplanes have been able to reach high altitude, these trails have been in existence.
Check out some WW2 photos of bomb groups operating at that height and every single airplane including the fighters had a corresponding contrail to match each of it's engines. (Pay special attention to when a bomber lost an engine for further proof.)
#2 – Crop dusting airplanes operate just above the ground to kill insects with their chemical sprays
If they fly any higher than that, the droplets would easily dissipate and never reach their target. Flying at 30,000 feet where ALL of these suspect trails are the winds are usually much faster than they are down near the surface. So, if the government were trying to affect us, they're not being too smart about it. They should buzz us all like tanker planes trying to put out a forest fire, but they don't. Planes do dump one thing into the atmosphere however if they're in distress and that's fuel which you guessed it, dissipates before ever showering unsuspecting citizens below.
#3 – These trails happen in broad daylight.
Don't you think that if they were trying to be all secretive, flying so high that we almost can't see the airplanes, that they would virtually announce their presence by having HUGE billowing clouds following behind them? Once again, conspiracies are all about subterfuge and misdirection, so if they're trying to hide, they need to take notes from Leon Ettienne or David Copperfield, this is their field…
#4 – If they were dumping miscellaneous agents into the atmosphere, why would they put the nozzles right next to the engines?
Let's assume that they're using a nonflammable agents and that they have a plane full of tanks that disperse it, like a military tanker for example, there are nowhere near enough of these aircraft to make a marked difference in the atmosphere, not to mention that these tankers need to do what they were created for, fuel other airplanes for actually important missions. The military and the government don't have the time or the resources to dedicate to messing with us in this way, they've got plenty of other ways to do this on the ground.
#5 – If this really is some conspiracy, every single airline pilot is in on it too.
Like fuel tankers, passenger aircraft were created for a single purpose, to shuttle people around safely. They have no room on board for anything other than people, their baggage and fuel. It's just inefficient to think that anything else is onboard other than that. Not to mention how safety conscious everyone (including the government) is these days. Pilots have to know their aircraft inside and out and if there was something foreign on their ship, they'd know about it and be responsible for the people in their care and by extension, those on the ground too.
Now to the conspiracy theorists and random citizens out there, you cannot be completely faulted here as just like any field, you can't really get behind the scenes and see things up close unless you're IN it, but here's what contrails look like closeup, notice one trail per engine…

I could go on, but in summary, I think we've proved here that the chemtrail theory not only flies in the face of science but also basic logic. But, if your mind remains unchanged there's little more that I can do to help you not sound silly when arguing against an opponent who doesn't even exist. Airplanes do pollute the air with one thing though: exhaust. Yup, just like any machine does that consumes fuel including your car or lawn mower. Unless you wanna take a page from the Amish, lets look elsewhere for our conspiracy theories and stop pestering science and logic to prove that they're still the kings of the hill.

CHAINSAWS and alcohol were stolen in a burglary in Wichenford, near Worcester overnight on Wednesday.
Thieves broke into the property between 10pm on Wednesday and 5.15am the next day.
They reportedly forced the padlock off a locked door before damaging the brickwork of the outbuilding using their hands and leaving the a hole in the wall of about 3ft by 2ft.
Once inside a padlock was then cut off a metal cabinet and two chain saws were stolen.
Forty-eight cans of cider, half Strongbow and half Woodpecker, and a small slab of Newcastle Ale bottles were also taken.

Federal budgets are a mixture of concessions and cuts, with the most curious this year the proposed age pension means test break for asset-rich retirees. It's curious because it recognises the sacrosanct nature of the family home.
Now it is often stated that many Australians are asset rich and income poor at retirement. Why this is so is because, after they have been living in retirement for a few years and spent a large proportion of their super and other savings, their major asset becomes their proverbial half-million or million-dollar family home.
It's a possession they are often reluctant to sell because of its likely adverse effect on their entitlement to the government age pension. One important feature of the family home is that it is sheltered from the age pension means test.
This makes people shy about downsizing to something more manageable like a retirement unit or a granny flat. While it is often thought that retirees downsize to free up some of the capital to spend on improving their retirement lifestyle, the budget measure suggests the more likely reason for older people staying in their family home is fear of losing part of their age pension if there is any surplus. This recognition is apparently the reason the budget contains the concession for age pensioners who want to downsize that will be trialled from July next year (if it is still in office). The measure comes with a few strings.
The home must have been owned for at least 25 years and the sale must be to buy into a retirement village or granny flat. If it qualifies then up to $200,000 of the proceeds can go into a special account that banks and other financial institutions will be invited to offer. These accounts will, however, be sheltered from the age pension means test for up to 10 years with another important condition attached: the money and any interest it earns can't be touched during the life of the account.
Why is this being allowed? The answer is that the concession allows part of the proceeds of the sale of a family home to continue to be protected from the age pension means test. The sacrosanct nature of the family home lives on.

text: Culture 3 May 1999 Exciting friend Anthony Crosland: A New Biography Kevin Jefferys Richard Cohen Books, 270pp, £25 Sign up for our weekly email * No one today under the age of 40 can have much direct memory of the figure who - next to Aneurin Bevan - was the most exciting Labour politician of the 20th century. Anthony Crosland died in February 1977, at the age of 58, from a stroke while still en poste as foreign secretary. Yet his claim to fame has never rested on his periods in high government office or, indeed, on his prospects of rising to the top of the Labour Party. (In 1976 he unwisely stood against James Callaghan to become party leader and prime minister, collecting a mere 17 votes, 20 fewer than Tony Benn.) What many would argue singled him out from his more routine colleagues was his contribution as a socialist theoretician. Without belittling his seminal, if dated, The Future of Socialism (1956), I have never found it easy to accept that this provides the entire explanation for his remarkable and enduring appeal. That has always seemed to me to rest instead on a curious, swashbuckling quality he possessed - combining intellect, glamour and arrogance in roughly equal proportions - which until then had seemed to be the exclusive prerogative of the more engaging sort of Tory. Even to say that runs the risk of making him sound like some sort of preincarnation of Alan Clark - and Crosland was always much more considerable than that. But, at the same time, it would be foolish to deny that the raffish side of his character - what Dick Crossman, of all people, once called his "bohemian flippancy" - formed part of the charm that he always held, particularly for the young. In a markedly prim and prissy period of left-wing politics, he filled the romantic vacuum. It was the great merit of Susan Crosland's unorthodox biographical study of her husband (published within five years of his death) that she brought this out and, by concentrating on his personal rather than public life, fully developed it. This much more conventional political biography has few such insights to offer but, in a consistently balanced and readable way, fills in some of the gaps that his widow left. Less concerned with Crosland's ideology and writings than David Reisman's twin (predominantly academic) volumes published two years ago, it nevertheless supplies a workmanlike account of its subject's political career. That career, it has to be said, was in the last resort a disappointment. It started out under Hugh Gaitskell, with a promise that was never quite fulfilled. There was a reason for that. Crosland was, above all, the disciple whom Gaitskell loved - and it was this feeling of near-homosexual affection for him on the part of his leader that gave him his jump-start over most of his contemporaries. It was also the reason why a March 1960 NS profile, suggestively entitled "Mr Gaitskell's Ganymede", caused the enormous offence that it did. But Gaitskell was not, in fact, the first senior Labour politician to feel that sort of attraction towards the dashing, debonair figure that Crosland represented. The much more openly homoerotic Hugh Dalton drooled over him from the moment he first set eyes on him at Oxford just after the war. Did Crosland reciprocate any of these feelings? To his credit, Kevin Jefferys is remarkably candid about this aspect of his subject's lifestyle, writing forthrightly of his having been, as an Oxford undergraduate and legendary young Trinity don, "almost certainly bisexual". Later on, this phase was firmly put behind him. In the late 1950s I can recall going more than once to his bachelor flat in the Boltons and being struck - I hope without too much youthful prurience - by the evidence of lipstick-stained glasses and red cigarette butts that always seemed to litter the place. To the end, he remained conscious of his good looks - which is presumably why (though he always drew the line at wearing "tails") he took far more trouble over his clothes than did most Labour politicians of his era. If he thought Labour, he dressed Tory, usually in a dark, well-cut suit with a striking coloured shirt complete with French cuffs. No doubt that helps to explain why the Conservatives resented him as much as they did. They had another reason for doing so. He was the first fully paid-up Labour "revisionist", long before the coming of Tony Blair. The cleverer among them spotted the threat that this could constitute to their hegemony. But Crosland, a clumsy tactician, never had the chance of imposing his views on the party. His rivalry with Roy Jenkins - originating when Jenkins became chancellor in November 1967 - scuppered whatever slight opportunity there might have been of a Gaitskellite inheritance, even in the 1970s. Doubtless there were faults on both sides, but in the light of the dispassionate account offered here of their relationship, it is difficult not to conclude that it was Jenkins who was normally the aggressor. That did not, however, stop him from writing in his own memoirs, A Life at the Centre (1991), that Crosland was "the most exciting friend" he had ever had. In its own more modest way, this lucid but never florid biography helps to explain for a new generation why that should have been so.

SIX men thought to be working as slaves have been rescued after a police operation into forced labour and human trafficking in Dorset.
It came after a raid at an address in Bournemouth today.
Police officers and staff were involved in the operation at a business unit in Ringwood Road.
As a result six suspected male victims, aged between 20 and 30 years, have been taken to a place of safety and are being given all the help and support they need, Dorset Police said.
A 23-year-old man from Bournemouth was arrested in connection with slavery offences and later realesed on bail, pending further enqiuirires Dorset Police said.
Detective Superintendent Kevin Connolly, director of investigations, said: "Today's operation is the result of a detailed and protracted inquiry and our primary aim is to protect and safeguard vulnerable victims."
Watch a video of Det Supt Connolly talking about the operation here:
Dorset Police was assisted by a number of other partners and agencies, including Bournemouth Borough Council, the National Crime Agency (UK Human Trafficking Centre) and Red Cross to ensure support is in place for the suspected victims.
Det Supt Connolly added: "Human trafficking is happening up and down the country.
"In such cases victims are often forced to live and work in poor and unsanitary conditions, sometimes with little or no pay. Some may not recognise themselves as victims and, even if they do, they may feel unable to speak to the police or other authorities.
"Human trafficking is a serious offence and Dorset Police remains committed towards tackling such cases.
"Human trafficking, particularly in the form of servitude, is a hidden crime and we will do everything we can to ensure this immoral trade is stopped. In order to do this we also need help from the public.
"I would urge anyone who has any information about such offences in Dorset or concerns about people in their community to contact us in confidence on 101."
Dorset Police has this year been undergoing further education and awareness training for staff and officers as part of Operation Eagle – a national ACPO campaign against human trafficking and slavery.

"He ignores the fact that people in immigration detention have either become unlawful or have arrived in Australia without lawful authority," Mr Ruddock told ABC Radio.
The UN report said family units should be kept intact but children living in the Woomera community can only be with their mothers, while fathers stay locked up.
"Essentially our concern is that people would abscond," Mr Ruddock said.
"Experience here and abroad is that people who have received decisions that are adverse, who are being held for removal, if they were freed and in the Australian community they would not be able to be readily found."
He said having children in detention was not desirable but parents should not bring them.
"I don't think it's a good thing that they've been submitted to dangerous sea voyages, as they were in a number of cases. I don't think it's a good thing that they've been probably taken away from situations in which they had access to schooling," Mr Ruddock said.
He said Justice Bhagwati believed the only solution to children in detention was releasing them with their families.
"The obvious outcome of that is that people who want to achieve a migration outcome in Australia, if they were not lawfully entitled to one, would simply take the view that all you've got to do is bring children with you," Mr Ruddock told Radio National.
He said Justice Bhagwati was not an expert observer if he thought guards were armed with guns or that education was inadequate without visiting the school at Woomera.
"He came with preconceived views ... he spent all his time here talking to lawyers and advocates, he had one day to visit Woomera and he's come to flawed conclusions," Mr Ruddock said.
In a joint statement slamming the report on its release, Mr Ruddock, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and Attorney-General Daryl Williams said it lacked objectivity and contained emotive descriptions and assertions.

What's with the deserted supermarket? Is this 28 days later? Armageddon? A Zombie attack? No, it's the season of surströmming that is upon us. For those not acquainted with this Swedish delicacy that Stephen Fry once described with: "Allegedly it can cause birds to fall dead from the sky, and it is banned by airlines, but it is quite good on toast", I can confirm that it stinks to high heaven. And it is quite good on toast. The fermented herring is eaten in the fall, and people in northern part of Sweden take this stuff so seriously that "The academy of surströmming" has complained against this ad for announcing the wrong date of the surströmming premiere. "Everyone knows that the premiere is the third Thursday in August, it's cultural illiteracy to say it's on Saturday" . You tell'em!

EMERALD ISLE - In an impromptu press conference on this sunny beach, Deputy Assistant Governor Pat McCrory today discounted news of an alarming spike in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. With CO2 reaching concentrations not seen in millions of years, policy makers in many states are alarmed about potential impacts such as rising sea level.
"We're fortunate here in North Carolina," said McCrory. "Last year we took the prudent step of making it illegal for sea levels to rise. The same applies to CO2. We've also prohibited North Carolina planners from using data coming from other states or from the federal government. Have no fear. We are safe."
When a local marina operator told McCrory that his business would soon be underwater, McCrory mistakenly assumed the company was going bankrupt. "No sir," said Buddy Lee of Morehead City. "I'm talking about actually seeing my buildings and facilities taken over by the rising ocean."
"That cain't be happening," said McCrory. "Tell that damn ocean it is illegal to rise here in North Carolina. And if it doesn't listen, I'll send down the National Guard to arrest the son of a bitch."

Dr. Leslie A. Zebrowitz is a social psychologist who studies the effects of the way people look on others' attitudes towards them. Her research has shown conclusively that babyfaced and angularly faced individuals are viewed differently. Among the effects, babyfaced individuals are seen as physically weaker, more submissive and less competent.
Dr. Zebrowitz is a professor of psychology at Brandeis University. She received her Ph.D. from Yale University in 1970.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"They were able to match this card with my custom colors and accommodate another item at the bottom. My designer made good suggestions about the font/text. Can't wait for these to be displayed on the tables!"
"I ordered these Menu cards for a Bridal Shower I am hosting and I needed to make quite a few adjustments to the overall layout design as I wanted to customize it to include a "To Sip" section of bottomless Mimosas, a 5 choice Entree option in a "To Eat" section and a final Dessert "To Taste" section. I filled out the Menu the best I could online and then told the designers what adjustments I was looking to make. The end result came out perfect and it will be just that special personalized added extra touch to everyone's place settings at the shower!"
"Loved this modern and fresh theme so much we decided to get everything available in it printed! The paper is thick and textured, easy to change font style and size and the free design consult is worth the short extra time!"
"My menu/courses did not exactly match the template, the WPDivas designer did a great job of modifying the layout to fit my meal"
"Loved the ability to custom design this one. The designer made room to accommodate our 'stations of food' for the menu printing. Fonts were great. Colors were stunning. Delivery and processing and proofing were done nicely. Good money spent."

Should guys wait till their girl is safe in the car and that her car works, like basically should the girl drive off first instead of the guy
Most Helpful Guy
It's just polite to wait. I would never ever just drive off until I knew she was in the car and it started. I would do the same if it was a guy too. If it's late, I'd hate to strand someone if their car didn't start.
Same with dropping someone off at their home. It's just polite to make sure they get inside, didn't forget their keys or whatever. Then once they are inside it's polite for them to wave or flash the outside light something to show that everything is OK.
It's all just basic manners.00|00|0

SNOWSHOE, W.Va. — Snowshoe Mountain Resort has halted plans to keep its ski slopes open for the first weekend in April.
The Pocahontas County resort had hoped to let skiers and snowboarders have one last weekend of fun on April 5 and 6, but Snowshoe said in a news release that recent rains along with a forecast for warmer temperatures and even more rain prompted the resort to close its slopes Sunday.
Snowshoe says it's working to notify guests who had made ski reservations about the change.

Skip to comments.Influx of Free Staters better than influx of Bay Staters
Posted on 10/06/2003 3:34:10 AM PDT by RJCogburn
I AM NEITHER a Socialist or a Democrat, so I welcome the Free Staters the libertarian-leaning people who want to move here to New Hampshire.
I agree with political pollster Dick Bennett as he is quoted in the Oct. 2 edition of The Union Leader, that they will not all get their own way. However, I must disagree with his opinion that people moving up here from Massachusetts haven't changed things. I feel like I'm living in a suburb of Boston.
I was born in Exeter in 1940 and still live there. Before I was old enough to drive, I often rode my bicycle through downtown Exeter on the way to a place called Fort Rock to go target shooting. I would carry my .22 semi automatic "assault rifle" slung over my shoulder and stop at Young's Hardware store on Water Street to get ammo for the terrorism I was about to inflict upon the soup can covers I had in my back pocket.
It didn't seem to bother anyone that a young lad would walk into the store carrying a rifle (I certainly wouldn't leave it unattended with my bike, outside the store) or go through town carrying it on his back.
A few years ago, before the New Hampshire State Police went digital, I heard a call on the scanner for a "man with a gun" on Lincoln Street. I soon heard replies from every cop within five to ten miles offering assistance to the Exeter police, including a state police unit in Portsmouth and one in Epping. What they found was a guy coming from the American Legion ball field, carrying a baseball bat.
If the guy had been carrying a rifle, it wouldn't have been against the law, unless he happened to be a felon. Tell me Massachusetts has not influenced us.
Now, hardly a year goes by that some local legislator doesn't have a bill in Concord to try to keep me from even having that same rifle in my home. Tell me Massachusetts has not influenced us.
I bought a 12-room colonial house in Exeter more than 30 years ago in which to raise my family. It had two three-room apartments to rent and a six-room apartment for me.
Many of these houses in Exeter have been converted into four three-room apartments. The zoning laws said that I could have four apartments in the house or three apartments and a home business. Since I had a TV repair business I operated from home and needed the extra bedrooms anyway, it was perfect. My plan was to eventually retire, closing the shop and converting the unused bedrooms into a fourth apartment for the added income I would need to retire.
I finally reached my goal last year. Well, not quite. I went to the town offices to beg for the permission to add the fourth apartment so I could retire. I was told the zoning changed a year earlier so I can't do it now. They just stole my retirement from me. I know it was the flatlanders from Massachusetts because the New Hampshire natives I grew up with felt you shouldn't even need the town's permission to do what you wanted with your own property.
Of course I can sell my house and move north, but that would mean they won and I won't be able to die in my home town.
Tell me Massachusetts has not influenced us.
On the way: Oh, Porcupines.... Here, porcupines, something for you:
[Welcome, new PorcuPing list member rattrap!] -archy-/-
Today the southern tier of NH, from the MA border to Manchester and east to the Atlantic is about 75/90% Massholes and flatlanders.
I have a pal that drives a concrete mixer out of Portsmith and he tells me it's non-stop, 70-80 hours a week, mostly flatlanders and Massholes building massive monuments to their egos and calling them houses.

|Today's Readings
Saturday, 26th April 2014 --- 18 Baramoudah 1730
Vespers Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint John the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
John 6 : 54 - 58
Chapter 6
|Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
|For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
|He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
|As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
|This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."
And Glory be to God forever.

TAMPA — When Tampa police took 90 minutes to respond to a burglary at her home in Palma Ceia, Nonita Cuesta Henson was angry at first.
The officer explained that he had been busy disarming a man with a long knife in Temple Terrace. He showed her the knife.
This was in the late 1960s, when officers made only $5,000 a year and had to buy their own guns and holsters. So Mrs. Henson founded the Citizens Alert Police Support Committee and lobbied City Hall for more officers and higher salaries.
Her efforts paid off. So did nearly every endeavor she ever undertook. Mrs. Henson — who was involved in scores of Tampa organizations and charities — died on Friday of Alzheimer's disease. She was 84.
"She was probably one of the most outstanding civic activists in the city of Tampa's history," said Jan Platt, a former Hillsborough County commissioner and a member of Citizens Alert. "She would gather the facts and present them to the people who would make a difference."
Former Mayor Dick Greco remembers Mrs. Henson as an effective leader, particularly on police matters.
"She loved the place and loved many aspects of what the city of Tampa was about, and police was one of them," said Greco.
Her Citizens Alert group also monitored courtrooms and kept attendance records on judges — several of whom were not re-elected after Citizens Alert reported their absenteeism to the public.
The granddaughter of Angel de LaMadrid Cuesta, who founded Cuesta Rey Cigars in 1884, Mrs. Henson spent several years of her childhood in Havana.
Asthma, poor vision and a heart murmur kept her out of school even after the family moved to Tampa in 1935. She entered Plant High School in her junior year.
In college, her vision improved. She raced through her 20s, studying photography in Vermont and modeling in New York.
She went on a blind date with Bill Henson, a naval officer who wanted to be a lawyer and understood her passions — mysteries, historical novels and digging beneath the surface of things. They married and had two kids.
She served on numerous boards — everything from the Tampa Philharmonic to Tampa General Hospital. She also founded an Easter Seal Guild in Hillsborough County and co-founded the Tampa Historical Society. She created a cookbook for people with disabilities. She did all that while running a store, Nonita's Accessory Loft, for the better part of 20 years.
"My mother was probably ADD," said her son, Kirk Henson, 51. "She could throw a lot of balls up in the air, and somehow they all came down where they were supposed to."
