    What gets me about the url of the one I caught is there's a user number in it. The number 37.

    Cookied for 37 main page hits before it triggers? Maybe the 37th visitor each hour on an index page?

    Things that make you go 'hmm..' indeed...

    At anyrate. Something should happen soon.

    Sent Hannes some info. In the meantime, block this IP:

    Iowa guy shot himself. Last I checked, the chemical can't shoot you.

    I would like to see more of the coroner's reports on the woman, though.

    I'm not going to do your homework for you. You asked and I provided information.

    If you want reports then you're going to have to do some legwork yourself.

    My case is made.

    Not a bad idea. Probably could make it happen. However, it'll prolly go the same route as the countdown timer for releases.

    Some features that can be done but aren't are not just because of software conflicts but, because they require code insertion or something else and Hannes (honestly) can't be bothered with it.

    Pretty much it in a nut shell.

    There are no recorded deaths directly linked to these chemicals that I can find. If you say that death is a health risk, provide sources.


    I've been following this topic for quite some time. You may not be looking hard enough my friend.

    Google: deaths by k2 synthetic cannibis
    Bing: deaths by k2 synthetic cannibis

    Starting off the lists are a young man in Iowa and, a young woman who was a Indiana mother of two (no ties between the cases.) There are more. I know there are more as neither of those two are from my area.

    I pray our leaders use the information from this run for the right reasons.

    If there's ever been a better dipstick to judge the benifits of leagalizing natural herb this is it. On a national level there should be a noticible tax collection increase in general merchandise as well as changes (have to check but I believe lower) in crime rates in areas where people have had a legal 'out'.

    Unfortuneately, if crack came in weed form I think this could be it. The massive health risks with synthaherb including death are even more a reason for synthaherb to be banned.

    I have to applaud 4Loco for at least along with unsafe contents they packaged an easily identifiable product.

    What scares me is some of the 24oz'er teas... Packaging could be easily an oversight for the untrained eye between hard teas and regular teas. This is a potential hazzard for transit systems and schoolyards.

    Glad to see you’ve decided to pick up the guit-fiddle! I’ve been playing for 25+ years, started with Spanish acoustic guitar and classical lessons to learn the basic technical’s on. Many may not like them but, I’m sure they’ll all agree that nylon strings are easier on the fingers when practicing scales and lead patterns when starting off.

    Now, when I started years ago to go along with this:
    And below the Marshall is a Raven ½ Stack w/RG100H head

    If we’d had BlackBerrys’ back then and this been in existence I’m sure that everyone would have had it too.
    Guitar Studio is easy to use and has powerful features that both beginners and professional musicians will love. A tone based Guitar Tuner and MP3 Player is also built in. You can even loop the MP3 at any point you choose.
    Tuner, tab browser, chord charts, and much more! Definitely a great gift idea!

    See more BlackBerry reviews at GoldenTriangleTrader.com!

    As it is, you can get the poster generally most any real music shop, Wal Mart, Fred Meyers, or order online. The Guitar app is well worth the price and handy as hell. It is a free, limited feature trial version that is upgradeable.

    Before finding the guitar ap I used these for quick reference on the go.


    Best with it my friend!

    For me, metal has almost always been the music - raised on country till about 80. However, I've listend to a bit most all of it and like most all too. However...

    Lately, I've dove off into Gorillaz radio on Pandora (blackberry net radio app) and some of the bands played are kick ass!

    Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Fatboy Slim, etc... I love discovering these things I've missed!

    True nuggets my friend.


    Quote from XDarkAngelX
    You've got only one guess as to what's the race of the officer and the race of the girl he punched.

    Typical behavior from the boys in blue.

    ACAB

    Excuse me, those citizens knew the law, seen a representative of the law there and chose a pack mentality over respect for the law of the land.

    Why make it about colours?



    Quote from Cyan
    Jaywalking is only illegal in the first place to give a cop an excuse to run your ID and see if he can possibly come up with a reason to give you some fines.

    The 'justice' system in this country is pitiful on every level.

    I like to believe it exists to keep our insurance rates down and people out of hospitals and graveyards.


    Quote from Phiting_Chicken
    Oh no, In general I hate authority. I just like seeing stupid douchebags getting the smackdown

    I don't think my posts have implied anything other than that I like seeing people get hurt, which at worst makes me a misanthrope. I don't care who they are as long as they are being a prick, and hopefully learn a lesson from it.


    Doesn't really matter which side of the fence you're on about authority, I think everyone loves to see see stupid get the smackdown.


    Wiki: Jaywalking
    Jaywalking is an informal term commonly used in North America to refer to illegal or reckless pedestrian crossing of a roadway. Examples include...


    Doing some quote testing with all the boxes. Sorry for the weird factor, please bear with me.

    Phone call from police lobby leads to arrest
    Nov 25, 1:47 AM EST


    EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- The young man apparently just wanted to phone his parents. But his mistake came when he made the call from the Eugene, Ore., police station lobby.

    Police say an officer working a desk assignment Wednesday recognized the man from surveillance footage of Tuesday's robbery of a Wells Fargo bank branch.

    Full Story…

    I know what he was thinking - “Here’s the last place they’d think I’d be…”

    It pays to stay frosty.

    I wish my work wasnt so god damn out of date, I can only use numbers and letters Frown for terminal log ins, and man you wouldnt belive the issues we are having transtioning from ie6 to ie8......... and it has ot be IEQQ


    another way is to use pass phrases


    such as "Iwent2thesh0psandb0ughtsug4r"

    It might look complex, but the phrase makes it much easier to remember.


    ps

    what up JD

    Querty! Jam

    Not much my friend. Near same ol same ol. Shifted gears online a little bit and decided to share what I find when I'm on or out in life - yesh! I finally got one! They're not mere tales of legend!

    Dood, that's a great alternative suggestion for password updating as many sites do allow for more than 12 characters in passcodes. Sweet!

    Glad to hear you're still doing what you broke off to do a while back. Hell yeah! By the way, have you played on Ubuntu Studio? Though I didn't dive off in and start compiling kernels, I do still mess around in Linux. \m/

    Quote from Captain_Morgan
    China's got two goals out of NK:

    1. Mineral deposits
    2. No large scale refugee crisis

    Considering that NK is on the brink of war and China doesn't want a full out aggression with the US or SK. If the knife fell, China would remain neutral and be forced to take a role in the rebuilding phase. The question is whether NK becomes Southern China or Korea.


    1. Given the girth of China, the ammount of minerals in NK may be negligable. Real estate for sure but, do the really need minerals?
    2. It's easy to control refugees when you keep your citizens so oppressed they don't have the funds for trucks or strengh for marches. Those who do are in the military.

    In an effort to ease global tensions, if China is getting tired of NK's rollercoaster of aggression, they may let the chips fall where ever. They (China) know we'll go conventional despite the paranoia of Chicken Little North Korea. So, why back a failing leader?

    Quote from The Daily Astorian | By David Guttenfelder and Jean H Lee (AP) »

    YEONPYEONG ISLAND, South Korea (AP) -- A U.S. supercarrier and South Korean destroyer took up position in the tense Yellow Sea on Sunday for joint military exercises that were a united show of force just days after a deadly North Korean artillery attack.

    As tensions escalated across the region, with North Korea threatening another "merciless" attack, China belatedly jumped into the fray. Beijing's top nuclear envoy, Wu Dawei, called for an emergency meeting in early December among regional powers involved in nuclear disarmament talks, including North Korea.

    Full Story…


    Come on North Korea we wouldn’t have need for the games if you’d quit being an ass and play nice with others.

    If NK were going to be nuked it'd have happened already in the past 60 years. That and the fact that the rest of the world has been putting up with your crap for as long as we have because China (unfortuneately by now I bet they feel) has to be your backdoor neighbor.

    Seriously. If any country in the world needs to redistribute millitary funds into public (state welfare) projects it's North Korea.
