OK guys we're a fair way through the testing, lets see some analysis My thoughts. Looking at the times people have been doing so far in different scenario Redbull and McLaren look like they are likely to be the front runners again. But I'm gettin the feeling red bull are not gonna be near as quick as they were last year. They have lost the blowing of the exhaust gases that the car was practically built around in the previous 2 seasons so they are back at the starting point with regards to the structure of the car. The major advantage they have is that they have the best designer on board IMO. Looking at the times from the l…

"A misconception led to the evacuation of two schools in Georgia. The auto-correction function of an iPhone 'corrected' the word "gunna" to "gunman" in a student's text message. The student wanted to write the message "Gunna be at West Hall," but the much criticized auto-correct function changed this to "Gunman at West Hall". To make it even worse the student sent this message to the wrong number by accident. The recipient, an unknown student, received the disturbing message and got the fright of his life. He called the police immediately, which out of precaution immediately evacuated a secondary and primary school with these names. The police emphasize that this was an j…

The reason I did "happy" is because imo its not. I know this lady whos dog was left out on her porch unsupervised in a heavily forrested area where if it wasnt the pitbulls that got her dog it would have been a bear or coyote. She comes into work orders photos through one hour service and demands they be done in 10 mins because she wants them cheaper but faster. Shes very rude to the associates. If she gets another dog who says shes not going to leave it out again and next time it will be something else and I highly doubt shes traumatized -.- she never saw it happen, upset yes ofc its her dog but not traumatized.... These pitbulls did not have a history and ive seen them …

I saw this article in the news this morning and it made me a little weepy. The expressions on the owner's face say it all really. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2107521/Bravery-young-mother-stayed-horses-hours-getting-trapped-mud-like-quicksand.html

I have to admit, I laughed when I saw the footage. I mean, it looks the the cyclist was being a complete ass-hat and riding right in the middle of the lane, holding up a ton of traffic behind him. The bus driver made him move. Now, as far as I'm concerned, a vehicle is always a potential weapon and should be treated as such when you're driving it. So it does not surprise me and I applaud the judge who pointed that out at the sentencing. This was road rage gone way too far. But at the same time, maybe this will be a little reminder to cyclists of their vulnerability. They share the road with motorists, they don't own it! http://www.…

Cam Abell's five-year-old chocolate lab dog, Charlie Brown, became caught in an animal trap recently near his home near Richer (Canada). Charlie Brown bit Abell as he tried to free him from the trap. Cam Abell was out for a Sunday morning stroll with his pooch Charlie Brown when the 135-pound chocolate lab found his way into a trap that was likely set out for a wolf or coyote. "He was caught. He couldn't bark because it was around his neck. He was dying," Abell said. Because it was choking, the dog began to panic and took a few chomps at his owner. The metal from the snare that was around Charlie Brown's neck shredded Abell's lef…

Sorry to put this into the steam room but I didn't know where else to put it! I have a possible rant about about an article in the 'Daily Fail/Wail' that was in this morning's news and would like to write to the 'offending' MP in question by pointing out that he is comparing the former boss of Tesco's wages in his first ever job (pre - decimalisation) to that of Job seekers allowance at today's rate. Can anyone on here, who is old enough, remember how much a loaf of bread was in the 1950s, 60s or until 1970? I've looked on Google but can't find out what I need. For anyone interested in the aforementioned piece, it is here: http://www.dailymail.c…

This totally freaks me out as this is the street I wait for the bus on and often walk. I had a white van follow me the week this happened to. Police said there wasn't much they could do about it as they didn't do anything threatening I don't walk at night ever around here and I'm always on the phone to someone when I walk the long stretch to the bus but that never guarantees anything. Just totally freaks me out. http://tacoma.komonews.com/news/721613-tacoma-woman-run-over-attempted-kidnapping

I find it disturbing this owner is laughing this off. Not saying if I agree or disagree with the decision based on the little info that is given about the incident but the fact that this owner is not taking this seriously is a bad reflection on all small dog owners to me. http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/02/city-8-pound-chihuahua-is-a-danger-to-society/
