| Gadgets Eureka Aerospace Uses Microwave Beams to Stop Cars
High-speed police chases are nothing new to Americans these days. Local (and often times national) TV stations are quick to break into regular programming when a high speed chase occurs and will follow the incident to its completion. TV stations know that people are keen to tune in -- just as they are likely to slow down and rubberneck for an accident on the side of the highway. Criminals and TV stations alike may have something to fear in the future thanks to Eureka Aerospace. Eureka's contraption has nothing to do with the "PIT Maneuver" or spike strips -- instead, it uses microwaves to effectively zap a cars electrical system rendering it inoperable. The rooftop mounted device in its current version measures 5' x 3' by 1' and weighs roughly 200 pounds. The high-powered weapon operates at 300 MHz and is not harmful to humans.
Androphilia: Replacing gay identity for real men
Kiss those gay bars and gay pride parades good-bye as a new generation of homosexual men rise to empower themselves away from stereotypes evolved out of the infamous Stonewall riots of June 1969. The time is right to define a new identity said author Jack Malebranche of Portland, OR.
Androphilia: A Manifesto Rejecting the Gay Identity, Reclaiming Masculinity, written by Jack Malebranche describes the "gay lifestyle" as one that replaced true masculinity with self-loathing, perpetual victim hood, effeminacy, and overall a synthetic approach to life.
Homosexual desires are not fixed-oriented or a sexual fetish, but Malebranche, 32, declares it is simply put: The love of men. It is time for homosexual men to break away from a "politically charged gay community that does not represent their interests or values," he said and suggested men reject any notion that limits male identity," and reclaim their rightful place among the brotherhood of men.
Councilman MikeK Recalls Knievel Action Figure
Top: Young MikeK playing with Evel Knievel action figure; bottom: MikeK receives inspiration from his childhood friends before leaving for a Coeur d'Alene City Council meeting. I had a classic Evel Knievel motorcycle riding action figure when I was a kid. The stunts my brothers and I would stage for that motorcycle toy were legendary (riding out a second story window, chasing the dog around the house without getting chewed to ribbons, you name it). RIP Evel. I wonder what happened to Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man who played the role of Evel's arch-nemesis in the boyhood action figure wars?/Councilman MikeK. Question: What was your favorite action figure/doll when you were little? .
Radio Talk
The station is mostly appealing to Clear Channel's now killed-off 105.3/The Buzz, but is still throwing in an occasional Guns 'n Roses or Aerosmith cut to appease former 96rockers. Question: is the name Project a good one? Is it the type of name that will last 32 years? Is it cool enough to appeal to the 18-34 male audience they appear to be seeking? And how about 94.9/The Bull, formerly Lite 94.9? Unlike Project, which is a unique name in the Clear Channel family of stations, the Bull is used at several Clear Channel country stations. The name, introduced in December, conveys masculinity and in-your-face attitude. But the station is supposed to be a female-skewing country music station, according to its execs. And with the addition of the Braves, does the station's name and message vibe with its music? It's obviously too early to say but do you think it works? Also, let's go back a couple of years to the introduction of rock station Dave, formerly Z93.
Radio & TV Talk
Makes you wonder why all the road rage. Oh…for those young ones who don't know what I'm talking about (this includes the station executives): MUSIC (myoo'zik) n. Vocal or instrumental sounds having some degree of melody, harmony, or rythm. (hee hee hee) Notice that the definition mentions nothing about nonsensical ramblings of an egotist? .
America`s Ultimatum
Wazir, your “allegiance to the American constitution" is something in your heart so I won't comment on it. But be careful about supporting Iranian Mullahs. These Mullahs will make you hostage unless you follow their deranged “nuke'em" slogans. And even if you don't like to be reminded of your duties to your adopted country, just don't get roped by this character from Canada. He is losing it. Peace to all and malice to none.
Dr. Qazi, United States of America
Note to allAmerica is hated by all countries because all they have done is start wars with them. Even Japan, Hiroshmi and Nagasaki got atomic bombed by these monsters. They need to be sorted out. They destroyed my country from those bombs and i hope Pakistan takes them out. You know, USA is too scared to start a war with them.
Did race, as white voters hesitated in the booths, play a part in ...
One thing that could not be explained simply was the difference between the opinion polls for the two parties. For the Republicans, they were accurate. Yet for the Democrats they were wildly awry, giving Mr Obama a large lead into polling day. A quick look through recent political history finds only a few occasions on which such a stark divergence has occurred. In 1982, Tom Bradley, a Democrat, seemed to have a commanding lead in the opinion polls in the final days of the campaign for California governor. But on the day he lost to the Republican George Deukmejian. In 1989, Douglas Wilder won the Virginia governor’s race narrowly despite holding an average nine-point lead in the final polls. And in 1990, Harvey Gantt was beaten by the Republican Jesse Helms in a North Carolina Senate race in the same kind of upset.
