Now we know what started the California wild fires...
NASA and industry partners lit up the Utah sky on Sept. 10, 2009, with the initial full scale, full-duration test firing of the first motor for the Ares I rocket. ATK Space Systems conducted the successful stationary firing of the five-segment solid development motor 1, or DM-1. ATK Space Systems, a division of Alliant Techsystems of Brigham City, Utah, is the prime contractor for the Ares I first stage. Engineers will use the measurements gathered from the test to evaluate thrust, roll control, acoustics and motor vibrations. This data will provide valuable information as NASA develops the Ares I and Ares V vehicles. Another ground test is planned for summer 2010.

Never trust a mother from Ozark Arkansas, or the Pigs
Don't Tase me Bro
(Thank You TSG)
NOVEMBER 18--With the mother's permission, an Arkansas cop tasered a 10-year-old girl after arriving at the woman's home to find her daughter crying, screaming, and unwilling to go to bed. According to the below Ozark Police Department report, when Officer Dustin Bradshaw arrived at the residence last Thursday, he found the girl "screaming, kicking, and resisting every time her mother tried to touch her" and was told by the mom to "tase her" if needed. While unsuccessfully trying to handcuff the child, the officer was struck "with her legs and feet in the groin" and responded with a "stun to her back" with his Taser. The much calmer child was then successfully cuffed, carried to a police car, and driven to a shelter.

The Sun
This is what gives all you dumb-asses life. Thank it.

Explanation: Our Sun may look like all soft and fluffy, but it's not. Our Sun is an extremely large ball of bubbling hot gas, mostly hydrogen gas. The above picture of our Sun was taken last month in a specific red color of light emitted by hydrogen gas called Hydrogen-alpha and then color inverted to appear blue. In this light, details of the Sun's chromosphere are particularly visible, highlighting numerous thin tubes of magnetically-confined hot gas known as spicules rising from the Sun like bristles from a shag carpet. Our Sun glows because it is hot, but it is not on fire. Fire is the rapid acquisition of oxygen, and there is very little oxygen on the Sun. The energy source of our Sun is the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium deep within its core. No sunspots or large active regions were visible on the Sun this day, although some solar prominences are visible around the edges.

Busted!
Sun Meng has been given the cold shoulder by his community after this extraordinary picture of him cowering naked outside the flat were posted on the internet.
The terrified 25-year-old fled from the balcony window when he was caught in bed with the man’s wife at the married couple’s flat in Chengdu, central China.
Photographs of the angry showdown, taken by a startled neighbour, were uploaded to a local community website.
They show Sun perched on the first floor ledge while his lover is confronted by her unnamed husband inside.
"My family is ashamed and none of my own neighbours will talk to me any more," said Sun.
"I know what I did was wrong but I was afraid he would kill me.
"People are even laughing at how I look naked – but I have to point out it was a very cold day," he added.
Chengdu, capital of the Sichuan province in south-western China, has a population of about 11 million.
In 2003, the Chinese government relaxed its traditional hold over the private lives of its subjects by allowing them to marry without the permission of their bosses.
The government published three lengthy documents dealing with marriage laws and population control.

Brendan Mullen dies after massive stroke
Article lifted from Los Angeles Times written by Randy Lewis
Local punk champion, Masque founder Brendan Mullen dies
October 12, 2009 | 4:31 pm
Brendan Mullen, the founder of the Masque punk rock club in Hollywood that helped launch that vibrantly anarchic music scene on the West Coast in the late 1970s, died Monday after suffering a massive stroke two days earlier. He was 60.
Mullen died at Ventura County Medical Center, his companion of 16 years, Kateri Butler, said Monday. The couple had been traveling through Santa Barbara and Ventura celebrating his 60th birthday, which was Friday. “The doctors are completely perplexed,” Butler said. “They can’t figure out why he had a stroke -- he had none of the indicators, his cholesterol was perfect. One of the neurologists summed it up best when he said, ‘Sometimes, your number is just up.’ ”
At the Masque, Mullen created an underground space that served as a crucible for the musicians and fans who felt alienated from mainstream society. Anger, frustration and self-deprecating humor flowered in the assaultive music that had been roiling in New York and London as L.A. bands including the Weirdos, the Germs, the Dils and the Screamers turned up regularly at the Masque for some of their earliest performances.
“He was the first promoter of punk rock in this town,” veteran promoter Paul Tollett of Goldenvoice Presents said Monday. “Everything started with him."
Once those seeds had been planted, other bands quickly followed, and the Masque became home to X, the Go-Go’s, the Dickies, the Plugz, the Flesh Eaters and many more.
“Many bands existed before June ’77, when I moved into the space and got a free month’s rent to clear out 15 years of debris from the Don Martin School of Radio Broadcasting, the last business which operated in the basement,” Mullen wrote in his book “Live At the Masque: Nightmare in Punk Alley,” published in 2007 on the 30th anniversary of the short-lived club that closed in 1979. “For the record, I never claimed to have ‘started punk in L.A.’…I’d prefer the Masque epitaph to be ‘Where the SoCal scene originally came together.' ”
Mullen was born in Paisley, Scotland, near Glasgow, grew up in Manchester, England, and moved to the U.S. in 1973. After the Masque closed, he went to work for more than a decade at Club Lingerie, which became celebrated for Mullen’s eclectic bookings that ran from punk to pop to jazz to blues. He also helped Johnny Depp and his partners open the Viper Room in 1993.
“What a tireless worker on behalf of his musical passions,” the Times’ former pop music critic Robert Hilburn said Monday. “He played an absolutely essential role in making the L.A. punk-rock scene one of the great musical scenes ever in America.”
In addition to Butler, Mullen is survived by three sisters: Pauline Mullen, Una Earley and Nuala Rainford. Plans for a memorial service are pending. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to the Musicians Union or the Recording Academy’s MusiCares musicians’ assistance program.

RIP "Baby Paul" Cullen
Taken from BOINGBOING.net

Posted by Xeni Jardin
RIP "Baby Paul" Cullen: Dogtown, Z-Boy, youngest member of the original Zephyr skate team.
Today on the way to my office in Venice Beach, I saw the following words spray-painted on the wall outside of a local skateboard shop: "RIP, Baby Paul."
Skate/punk/hip-hop photographer Glen E. Friedman last night posted the very sad news about the untimely passing of an early skateboard culture icon: Paul "Baby Paul" Cullen is reported to have died of a heroin overdose this week, though his surviving family have not confirmed cause of death. He leaves behind a child. His brother, Brian Cullen, sends word that those who mourn his death are invited to attend a memorial service at Saint Monica's Catholic Church in Santa Monica, CA, this Saturday at 1030am.
Friedman photographed "Baby Paul" in the 1970s as the young skater ascended to fame. He describes what it was like to see Paul in New York a few summers ago, some 25 years later. He was not well.
He was here for only a few days with his girlfriend and new baby, and he was in sad shape. I felt really bad about seeing him like this, Since I didn't have change I gave him $20 instead of the $10 he asked for. We spent less than 15 minutes talking on a street corner. When I got home, i told my wife that night i'd probably never hear from him ever again. I never did.
He was several years younger than me. He was like a mascot for the original Zephyr team, he was a shredder, the original mini-shredder (before Bella Horvath, before Eric Dressen, before "Mini-Shred"). Photogenic, energetic, and a pure menace to society (I say that in the most admiring way).
We talked off and on over the years, like you do with people you've known for a long time that you do remain in touch with even if it's only rare. Particularly after the DogTown documentary came out but also a lot since i included a photo of him across the title page in The Idealist. I tried to encourage him to make amends with some of those he had trampled over, to clean up, or stay sober, but for someone like me it's never easy.

Sham Wow DoucheBag beats up a hooker!
Now if we can only get this to happen to Billy Mays
MARCH 27--Meet Vince Shlomi. He's probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she "propositioned him for straight sex." Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly "bit his tongue and would not let go." Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit, a copy of which you'll find here, notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face (she is pictured here in mug shots snapped following busts in 2008 and 2005). After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the Setai lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse. "Both parties had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from their persons," police reported. In a brief telephone interview, Harris declined to answer TSG questions about her run-in with Shlomi, though she did say she is considering a lawsuit against the pitchman. Asked if she worked as a hooker, Harris declined comment. As seen in the below mug shot, Shlomi was also injured during the fracas and, court records show, was treated at Mount Sinai Medical Center. While Shlomi and Harris were both arrested for felony aggravated battery, prosecutors this month declined to file formal charges against the combatants. Police records list Shlomi's occupation as "Marketing," but make no mention of his affiliation with the ShamWow or the Slap Chop, both of which sell for $19.95 (plus shipping and handling).

The world most unlucky robber or Dumb Guy
IS this the world's unluckiest bank robber?
David Maksimik, 59, not only bungled his getaway he even ended up calling police to the home where he'd stashed his haul, according to US media reports.
Connecticut police claim Mr Maksimik robbed the People's United Bank on Old Kings Highway north, in Darien, with a fake grenade strapped to his waist and a gun on January 29.
He reportedly escaped, but then crashed his getaway vehicle into another car.
The Associated Press reports the hapless Mr Maksimik needed to hail a bus, then a taxi, before eventually calling his sister to pick him up.
But the Connecticut Post reports when Mr Maksimik finally made it home, he found his roommate dead and called emergency services.
Police responding to the suicide say they found bank money totalling $US3745 ($5378) inside a bag on Mr Maksimik's bed and arrested him.
Mr Maksimik appeared before a US federal magistrate in Bridgeport yesterday. He was held without bond at the North Ave jail pending a hearing next week.

Dumbasses abound on Old National Hwy Atlanta
Old Nat'l is pretty much the slum near the airport here in Atlanta. The following story sums up the idiots that live and hang out around there. They are not very smart down there.
6 carloads of people rush to Old National Highway brawl
Two people shot, 11 arrested, as pair of women clash
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Eleven people were arrested Tuesday after an argument between two groups of people over a cell phone erupted into a gun battle that left two men wounded.
Fulton County police spokeswoman Melissa Parker said the 12:45 a.m. brawl on Westford Circle off Old National Highway began as an argument between Reba Talton, 28, and Pamela Thompson, 20, over a cell phone and an ongoing dispute involving Michael Caine, the father of both of their children.
“Ms. Thompson drove to Ms. Talton’s residence with approximately six carloads of people wanting to fight,” Parker said. “Thompson and Talton got into a physical altercation in the front yard at which time several others joined in.”
Shortly after the fight began, the two groups exchanged gunfire.
John Talton, 22, and Fernando Broughton, 30, were wounded by gunfire, Parker said. Both men were in stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital.
“There were many juveniles on the scene at the time the gunfire was exchanged,” Parker said, adding that one of the vehicles that drove to the scene had about eight children inside, ranging in age from one to nine.
After conducting interviews with everyone involved, police arrested 11 people on charges that included aggravated assault, battery, disorderly conduct and cruelty to children.
