AOL News "(Oct. 6) -- A small rural community in western Tennessee is outraged and the fire chief is nursing a black eye after firefighters stood by and watched a mobile home burn to the ground because the homeowner hadn't paid a $75 municipal fee. South Fulton city firefighters -- equipped with trucks, hoses and other firefighting equipment -- didn't intervene to save Gene Cranick's doublewide trailer home when it caught fire last week. But they did arrive on the scene to protect the house of a neighbor, who had paid his fire subscription fee. "I just forgot to pay my $75," Cranick told ABC News. "I did it last year, the year before. ... It slipped my mind." Later tha…

YAY! Technician is finally coming out today to fix my giant Sony TV! No more using my 32" LCD as the main TV in the home, so I can slap that puppy back over onto the computer desk to have a giant computer monitor again. SUPER YAY! :binago:

I know this should be in the topic in the TV forum I've already created, by I'm afraid if I post in it people will just see it in the new posts list and glaze over it because they don't watch the show so don't have an interest in discussing it, but this is a request which can be moved back to that thread in a few hours if possible. Just want people to see it here first! There's a big push by fans of Stargate Universe to get others to start watching this as it's teetering on the edge of cancellation because since it's main audience is technologically literate people, a lot of them torrent it. If you haven't watched it, give tonight a try. It's meant to be a great episode,…

Look at my new puppy. He is a 5 week old border collie and I still don't have a name for him.

Hey Siren (and all others) do you remember when I asked if I could pick your brain about photograph? Well if you have the time could you give me some advice and idiot proof settings? I'm not much of a photographer and I really don't have too much of a background in it or patients for it. I know a lot of it is I need to read the manual better and I just need to take my camera out and learn to use the damn thing. That being said I'm not interested in taking photos of anything, but using it for stop motion projects at home. Since stop motion is just animating frame by frame a lot of the things you do for photography will be able to help me out. The problem I'm running into …

I'll be back later to discuss. LoL

http://gizmodo.com/5655478/send-this-to-every-person-who-writes-you-an-annoying-email I'm too lazy to re-host all the images, so I'll just throw up the link to the article. I love the annoying signature one. The "disclosure" is hilarious!

This is pretty nifty. Scientists believe that the chance of this planet containing some kind of life is nearly 100%. Linky "The discovery of a 'Goldilocks' planet--it's not too hot, not too cold--is thrilling scientists who think the planet may have the right conditions to sustain life. Located in the 'Goldilocks' zone, the planet is about 120 trillion miles (20 light years) from Earth. That sounds far but scientists say that's actually 'right next door' considering the size of the universe. This discovery, the first of its kind, excites some researches who believe the chances of life on the 'Goldilocks' planet are nearly 100 percent. Find out more about this new disco…

These toys can cause some serious injuries including genital bleeding in young girls...so please if you or a friend or family member have bought Fisher Price products since the 90's (yeah the recalls are on some products that were made in the 90's) please pass this along.

Sad. Ironic, but sad. The multi-millionaire owner of the Segway company died Sunday when he fell off a cliff while riding the famous motorized scooter, the Telegraph reports. Jimi Heselden, 62, died after skidding off a cliff at his estate in Yorkshire, England. He was reportedly testing a cross-country version of the upright, two-wheeled scooter when he plunged from the cliff. Heselden's body was later found in a river by a passerby, the newspaper reports. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8027301/Segway-company-owner-dies-riding-two-wheeled-machine-off-cliff.html

Went for a job interview at Panera bread this morning (aka paradise cafe, st. louis bread co.) and I go hired on the spot. I start tomorrow. I'm so excited because I was struggling so hard working off commission at Macy's

That the person who does the voicework for Marcus Fenix in the Gears of War series is also the voice of.... BENDER FROM FUTURAMA? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0224007/ Also, my mind is even more blown. The person who did the voice for Shredder in the original TMNT cartoon? UNCLE PHIL FROM THE FRESH PRINCE! hahaha! Wow.

Well? What would happen? Who knows. It's pretty crazy though, to try to imagine putting a hand or body in front of a proton beam going at 99.9999991% the speed of light. Well the researchers at the LHC were asked that question, and honestly they had no idea either. It's strange though. Have they THOUGHT about it? I mean who creates a device that can shoot things at nearly the speed of light and DOESN'T think about shooting an actual living object with it? http://blogs.discove...the-lhc-stream/ A bunch of the scientists have different answers and theories about what would happen. I like the one scientist who says that the amount of energy travelling in that bea…

I know there's a game deals thread..... but i didn't want to post in it right now and draw attention away from the browser problem currently going on. any ways here's the deal...... amazon.com seems to be having game deals in it's lightning deals thread all day long. they only last for an hour on average, but some of the deals are good, and they're newish games like madden on ps3 and what looks to be shattered dimensions among others.
