  6. Mayhap from the thieves guild in the town of Ankh Morpork per chance? Sea Gypsies of Indonesia?
  7. We need more photos of the the Drinks bringer. :-) Keeping things calm so you don't have to.
  8. No, the U.S. REALLY has "recently" been putting pressure on Malaysia on quite a few fronts. A popular search enginge will give you much more. This flight is the gift/mystery that keeps on giving. A new variation every few days.
  9. 10 Satellite TV stations (both Pro & Anti) ordered shut. Wonder about international stations like BBC?
  10. You were right. Here's the answer http://www.airplane-pictures.net/photo/376109/n446wn-southwest-airlines-boeing-737-700/
  11. I was sent it. Perhaps, "Creative Aviation Photography" is the hint :-) but there is more than one approach runway, there are 4 runways in pairs with the right pair the longest, and as the text said there is quite a separation between the two pairs, about 4 km (more?). Imagine the Jet wash coming off the 380. Regardless the 380 is gigantic compared with a 737, and is large compared even to a 747 Foreground AirNZ A320 Middle Qantas 737-838 and in the background an Emirates 380-800
  12. "Airbus A380 and Boeing B737 on approach to LAX" "A great photo, I didn’t even see the 737 at first glance. And the Airbus is farther away!! How is this for a size comparison? Somewhat startling. This shows an Airbus A380 and a Boeing B737 flying parallel approaches into LAX (Los Angeles, California) Just think how massive the 737 seemed to the pilot when he first flew one."
  13. Corporate Control of the Media. As recently as 1983, about fifty companies owned 90% of the U.S. media. Today, 90% of the media is owned by only six companies. This means that 232 media executives control what 277,000,000 U.S. citizens see. Why wouldn’t they want the citizens to see only that ‘news’ and ‘information’ that will best enhance shareholder value, and thus, their own salaries?

  15. The future of the internet is at stake FCC votes to proceed with net neutrality rules (BBC): http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27426937 "The controversial proposals have drawn an unprecedented level of scrutiny to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and its vote, which was passed with three commissioners voting in favour and two against. The meeting of the five commissioners was repeatedly interrupted by protesters, several of whom were removed from the room." - - - Had to go to BBC for this. CNN is busy running wall to wall playback and analysis of phone conversations of an apparently senile basketball team owner, recorded illegally by his pimp. They also interviewed the pimp live. So they don't have time left for stories affecting the future of the Internet. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren@vortex.com): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein
  16. Casey Kasem has been found The former 'Top 40' host was located overnight, three days after an LA judge expressed concerns about the ailing radio host's whereabouts and safety. LOS ANGELES (AP) - Casey Kasem was located in Washington state on Thursday, three days after a Los Angeles judge expressed concerns about the ailing radio host's whereabouts and safety. Kasem's condition was not immediately known, although his children rejoiced after days of uncertainty and said in a statement that locating their father was the first step in bringing him back to the Los Angeles area. Santa Monica police Sgt. Mario Toti said Kasem was located by the Kitsap County Sheriff's Department on Wednesday, hours after Kasem's children filed a missing person's report. Kasem's daughter Kerri, who was appointed his temporary conservator at a court hearing on Monday, had to wait for court filings before she was able to file the report. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy ordered adult protective services and court investigators to try to locate Kasem after an attorney for his wife told the court that the former "Top 40" host was no longer in the United States but he did not know where he was. Kerri Kasem's attorney Troy Martin said during the hearing that Kasem had been moved to an Indian reservation but was not sure because he had been frequently moved from medical facilities. "We are grateful to the local authorities for finding my dad," Kerri Kasem wrote in a statement. "We are one step closer to bringing him home." Casey Kasem, 82, has been in poor health in recent years. Kerri Kasem's court filings state her father is suffering from a form of dementia called Lewy Body Disease that had previously been incorrectly diagnosed as an advanced form of Parkinson's disease. Until Monday, Casey Kasem's wife of 34 years, Jean, had been in control of his medical care and controlled access to him. She has blocked three of Kasem's children from a previous marriage, including Kerri Kasem, from seeing him in recent months, according to court filings. Danny Deraney, a spokesman for Kerri Kasem and her siblings, said the family still had "grave concerns" about Casey Kasem's health. Jean Kasem's attorney Craig Marcus argued Monday that his client had the right to move her husband to any facility she saw fit. Murphy said he had the authority to order an investigation into Casey Kasem's whereabouts and appointed an independent attorney and doctor to evaluate the radio host. Casey Kasem gained fame with his radio music countdown shows, "American Top 40" and "Casey's Top 40," and was the voice of Shaggy in the cartoon "Scooby Doo." Murphy scheduled a hearing for June 20 to receive updates on Kasem's health and wellbeing.

  21. Cheat! Obviously if she is sitting in a bar it's quite likely that a look down her panties will remove all doubt. I know you have seen this before. You show me yours and... a favourite LB trick. This is obviously much tougher in the street. So how are you SURE she is a LB, first problem. Maybe you have seen pictures on various forums [and where are emoticons hiding??]
  22. From some where else Margarine kills marriages! But only in Maine. From the correlation-doesn't-imply-causation file comes this gem, and nineteen others, from Tyler Vigen: http://www.tylervigen.com/ These are gold - and that correlation os over 0.99. Surely it mist be causal! In graduate school I remember we had assignment using some data the Faculty had found showing a nice, tight State-level correlation between number of tornadoes and proportion of people living in mobile homes. Worse, the tornadoes were especially prevalent where the mobile homes were single width, rather than double width. One student claimed the assignment as evidence that God, a Republican, hated the poor!
