Carson Williams of Mason, Ohio lit up his house for the Christmas season in 2005 and synchronized his lights to Trans-Siberian Orchestra's song, "Wizards in Winter." The constant music and flashing of lights annoyed neighbors and backed up traffic. After a traffic accident on December 6, he decided to discontinue the show for this year.
A man who was about to leave an Arkansas music shop was stopped by the its owner after he spotted a guitar-shaped bulge in his clothing.
According to AP, Clifton Lovell, the owner of Guitars and Cadillacs, said he confronted Morgan Conaster, who at first denied doing anything wrong. But Conatser then confessed to stuffing an electric guitar down his pants.
Lovell said the neck of the instrument was in 29-year-old Conatser's pant leg, while the body of the guitar was hidden under his jacket.
He said he didn't intend to call the police after he recovered the guitar, but then he discovered a wireless sound system was also missing.
The police then carried out a hunt for the man and found the stolen equipment in his bedroom closet. Conatser has been charged with misdemeanor theft.
"I saw him walking out to his pickup truck and the bulges in his leather jacket. I said, 'Hey what have you got there,'" Clifton Lovell said.
He said Conatser, 29, replied, "Nothing."
Lovell pointed toward the unnatural shapes in Conatser's jacket and pants and said, "You've got something."
Conatser then removed a solid body electric guitar from his pants leg and from underneath his jacket.
"The neck of the guitar was almost down to his knee and the back of the guitar was almost up to his neck. It wasn't hard to spot. There was no way he could sit down or get into the pickup," Lovell said.
Snowflakes, mixed with rain, fell in Orange, Lake, Seminole and Volusia counties Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service. Snow shovels were not needed, but some of the white stuff did hit the ground before melting, meteorologists said.
"He wanted to go to a motel in the Bronx where I would defecate on him, but I told him I was uncomfortable going to the Bronx"
"I live in a traditional Italian household," she explained.
During his time as head of the Ministry of Defence UFO project, Nick Pope was persuaded into believing that other lifeforms may visit Earth and, more specifically, Britain. And he complains that the project he once ran is now "virtually closed" down, leaving the country "wide open" to aliens.
Mr Pope decided to speak out about his worries after resigning from his post at the Directorate of Defence Security at the MoD this week.
"The consequences of getting this one wrong could be huge," he said. And while Mr Pope says that there is no evidence of hostile intent, he insists it cannot be ruled out.
"There has got to be the potential for that and one is left with the uneasy feeling that if it turned out to be so, there is very little we could do about it," he said.
"If you believe these things are extra terrestrial craft then you cannot rule out that what is happening is some kind of covert reconnaissance."
In another incident in 1980 at RAF bases in Suffolk, staff investigated a suspected plane crash after bright lights were reported coming from nearby woods.
They found a kind of lunar landing module standing on three legs which then flew off. The indents it left in the ground were found to emit ten times the normal levels of radiation. Mr Pope said: "These sort of incidents are why I got so frustrated.
Tesco has been forced to remove a pole-dancing kit from the toys and games section of its website after it was accused of "destroying children's innocence".
The Tesco Direct site advertises the kit with the words, "Unleash the sex kitten inside... simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!
"Soon you'll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars".
The £49.97 kit comprises a chrome pole extendible to 8ft 6ins, a 'sexy dance garter' and a DVD demonstrating suggestive dance moves.
"This will be sold to four, five and six-year olds. This is a most dangerous toy that will contribute towards destroying children's innocence."
A suicide note in the pocket of a man who jumped off the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel late Tuesday led police to the grisly scene of his girlfriend's murder, where they found her charred head in a pot on the stove, her legs and feet baked in the oven and the rest of her dismembered body in trash bag in the refrigerator, according to police and the couple's landlord.
In the five-page note, Bowen claimed he strangled Hall in the bathtub, then dismembered her body before taking it in pieces to the kitchen, police said. An autopsy conducted today shows that Hall was in fact manually strangled, police said. It also appears that Hall's body was cut up after she died, police said.
Police found the victim's head burned beyond recognition in a pot on top of the stove, and her legs and feet in the same condition in pans inside the oven, police said.
As he picked up limbs along the sidewalk, Bowen added, "It's actually been kind of nice. And I'm getting healthier, eating right and toning up."
The house has no phone, no electricity. (Hall points out that she "didn't have air conditioning to begin with.") The water has been turned back on, but the couple doesn't trust it. ("Hell no, I'm not touching that stuff," Hall said.) Bowen guessed they've got enough food for about three months.
A Little Rock man was arrested after he allegedly shot at a motorist with a crossbow after police say the motorist made an obscene gesture at the man.
Steve Gilgenbach, a baseball pitcher for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, said he cut in front of Dierks while trying to get onto Interstate 630. Police say Gilgenbach made an obscene gesture but Gilgenbach says he doesn't remember doing that. Gilgenback says Dierks fired the crossbow at him and broke his car window.
Gilgenback called police and Dierks was arrested. Police say they found a crossbow with a scope in his vehicle, four crossbow bolts, a cooler containing unopened beers and one opened can. Dierks registered .12 on a blood-alcohol test. The legal threshold is .08.
Republicans, who control the White House and Congress, Clinton charged "paint themselves as pure and the rest of us who don't agree with them as stained" in order to divide the country and stay in power.
"People know things are out of whack, that fundamentally the order of, the rhythm of public life and our common life as Americans has been severely disturbed," he said.
Uh huh. I'm sorry, did you say anything after "stained"? - Mary Katharine Ham
2005 : The prize was divided equally between:
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its
Director General Mohamed ElBaradei, Egypt, 1942 -
For their efforts to prevent nuclear energy from being used for military purposes and to ensure that nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is used in the safest possible way.
The regime in the north is so short of electricity that the whole country is switched off at 9 p.m. - apart from the capital of Pyongyang where dictator Kim Jong-il and his cohorts live in relative luxury. But even there, lighting is drastically reduced.
The result, as shown in this picture taken one night earlier this week, is a startling contrast between the blacked-out north and the south, which is ablaze with light, particularly around major cities and the capital, Seoul, in the north-west of the country.
Mr Rumsfeld showed the picture to illustrate how backward the northern regime really is - and how oppressed its people are. Without electricity there can be none of the appliances that make life easy and that we take for granted, he said.
"Except for my wife and family, that is my favorite photo," said Mr Rumsfeld.
"It says it all. There's the south, the same people as the north, the same resources north and south, and the big difference is in the south it's a free political system and a free economic system.
"The people in the north are starving, their growth is stunted. It's a shame, a tragedy."
An aide added: "This oppressive regime is too busy trying to make war to make life comfortable for its people."
A California-born convert to Islam ("The 'Religion' Of Peace"), accused of making a series of al Qaeda propaganda videos, became on Wednesday the first American charged with treason since the World War Two era, U.S. Justice Department officials said.
Fugitive Adam Gadahn, 28, who is believed to be in Pakistan, was accused of treason, which carries a maximum punishment of death, and providing material support to al Qaeda, they said.
According to the charges, Gadahn appeared in five videos broadcast between October 2004 and September 11, 2006, giving al Qaeda "aid and comfort ... with the intent to betray the United States."
The FBI added him on Wednesday to its list of the most wanted terrorists and a U.S. State Department program offered up to a $1 million reward for information leading to his arrest.
Roberts wrote in the online publication on September 19, 2006, "When we've finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we're in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards -- some sort of climate Nuremberg.”
Gore and Moyers have not yet commented on Grist's advocacy of prosecuting skeptics of global warming with a Nuremberg-style war crimes trial. Gore has used the phrase "global warming deniers" to describe scientists and others who don't share his view of the Earth's climate. It remains to be seen what Gore and Moyers will have to say about proposals to make skepticism a crime comparable to Holocaust atrocities.
The article Global Warming: The Chilling Effect On Free Speech last week in Spiked Online addresses this new found penchant by environmentalists and some media members to charge skeptics of human caused catastrophic global warming with “crimes against humanity” and urge Nuremberg-style prosecution of them.
We didn't listen !

Despite the traditional mediaÂ’s failed attempt to dismiss the science I presented to counter global warming alarmism, the American people bypassed the tired old traditional media by watching CSPAN or clicking on the Drudge Report and reading the speech online.
The media have missed the big pieces of the puzzle when it comes to the EarthÂ’s temperatures and mankindÂ’s carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. It is very simplistic to feign horror and say the one degree Fahrenheit temperature increase during the 20th century means we are all doomed. First of all, the one degree Fahrenheit rise coincided with the greatest advancement of living standards, life expectancy, food production and human health in the history of our planet. So it is hard to argue that the global warming we experienced in the 20th century was somehow negative or part of a catastrophic trend.
Second, what the climate alarmists and their advocates in the media have continued to ignore is the fact that the Little Ice Age, which resulted in harsh winters which froze New York Harbor and caused untold deaths, ended about 1850. So trying to prove man-made global warming by comparing the well-known fact that today's temperatures are warmer than during the Little Ice Age is akin to comparing summer to winter to show a catastrophic temperature trend.
In addition, something that the media almost never addresses are the holes in the theory that C02 has been the driving force in global warming. Alarmists fail to adequately explain why temperatures began warming at the end of the Little Ice Age in about 1850, long before man-made CO2 emissions could have impacted the climate. Then about 1940, just as man-made CO2 emissions rose sharply, the temperatures began a decline that lasted until the 1970's, prompting the media and many scientists to fear a coming ice age.
Let me repeat, temperatures got colder after C02 emissions exploded. If C02 is the driving force of global climate change, why do so many in the media ignore the many skeptical scientists who cite these rather obvious inconvenient truths?

An aggressive Islamic Terrorist Squirrel pounced on a 4-year-old boy in an attack last week in Cuesta Park in Mountain View, Calif.
The attack happened as the boy's mother unwrapped a muffin during a picnic.
"The infidel dared to unwrap a muffin during the holy month of Ramadan in public and in full view of us peaceful Muslim squirrels ! It is Allah's will that we attack those that would do insult to our peaceful religion ! Allah Akbar !" said Suhayb Majd Squirrel.
The attack is not the first one reported at the park.
Mountain View Community Services Director David Muela said that as many as six people have been bitten or scratched by radical extremist squirrels since May, and that the attacks have become more ferocious in the last month, which is the Muslim month of Ramadan. It is considered the most venerated, blessed and holiest month. Prayers, fasting, self-accountability and charity have special association with Ramadan.
"We, by the grace of Allah, are seeking to exact revenge on behalf of Islam and Muslims from you and your snacks ! Allah Akbar !" exclaimed Sheikh Khalid Squirrel.
In response to attacks, the city of Mountain View has announced it plans to start trapping and killing the terrorist tree squirrels.
Democrats were quick to protect the rights of the squirrels.
"The torture and other sadistic abuses of squirrels in the park have done immense damage already to America's reputation in the world, and the worst may be yet to come. Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, park management." said Senator Edward Kennedy.
John Murtha said "80% of squirrels are strongly opposed to the presence of park workers ." and "The continued presence of park workers in the park is uniting the squirrels against us."
"What he has said has great wisdom," Pelosi said of her colleague on Wednesday. "While the president is digging a hole, Mr. Murtha is speaking from the light of day about the realities in the park, and so yes, I am supporting Mr. Murtha's proposal."
Over the next three weeks, park workers will set tube-like traps in the trees of Cuesta Park and euthanize captured squirrels "in a humane way," said David Muela, Mountain View's community services director.
Ironically, efforts to curb the behavior may have exacerbated the Peaceful Islamic Squirrels' aggressive tendencies, Muela said.
"We passed a city ordinance that required women to wear burkas in the park and to segregate female and male patrons to different areas of the park to avoid tensions with the peaceful Muslim squirrels." said Muela.
Increased park ranger patrols and flier distributions cautioning against feeding the animals frenzy might have further cut the squirrels' inhibitions, prompting them to act more assertively in their quest for jihad.
A recent NIE report that was leaked by the ever patriotic New York Times indicated that the strong response in the park was generating more terrorism. This includes an unusual alliance between the Islamic Terrorist Squirrels and the Islamic Terrorist Kittens.
"You have no chance to survive make your time."
Proof that even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut, the Milwaukee County Board made the right decision and sold a parcel of the old Park East Freeway land on the northern edge of Milwaukee, to a company that will build a luxury hotel, condominiums, offices and retail space.But to what end ? To finance the global Squirrel Jihad ?
"Allah At a bar !" explained I'm dull, eh ? I'd been... Umm... Uh... Umm... Dude... What ? Maked Um wear what ? Squirrel
Since the horror of 9/11, we've learned a great deal about the enemy. We have learned that they are evil and kill without mercy -- but not without purpose. We have learned that they form a global network of extremists who are driven by a perverted vision of Islam -- a totalitarian ideology that hates freedom, rejects tolerance, and despises all dissent. And we have learned that their goal is to build a radical Islamic empire where women are prisoners in their homes, men are beaten for missing prayer meetings, and terrorists have a safe haven to plan and launch attacks on America and other civilized nations. The war against this enemy is more than a military conflict. It is the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st century, and the calling of our generation.
Our nation is being tested in a way that we have not been since the start of the Cold War. We saw what a handful of our enemies can do with box-cutters and plane tickets. We hear their threats to launch even more terrible attacks on our people. And we know that if they were able to get their hands on weapons of mass destruction, they would use them against us. We face an enemy determined to bring death and suffering into our homes. America did not ask for this war, and every American wishes it were over. So do I. But the war is not over -- and it will not be over until either we or the extremists emerge victorious. If we do not defeat these enemies now, we will leave our children to face a Middle East overrun by terrorist states and radical dictators armed with nuclear weapons. We are in a war that will set the course for this new century -- and determine the destiny of millions across the world.
I'm often asked why we're in Iraq when Saddam Hussein was not responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The answer is that the regime of Saddam Hussein was a clear threat. My administration, the Congress, and the United Nations saw the threat -- and after 9/11, Saddam's regime posed a risk that the world could not afford to take. The world is safer because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. And now the challenge is to help the Iraqi people build a democracy that fulfills the dreams of the nearly 12 million Iraqis who came out to vote in free elections last December.
We're training Iraqi troops so they can defend their nation. We're helping Iraq's unity government grow in strength and serve its people. We will not leave until this work is done. Whatever mistakes have been made in Iraq, the worst mistake would be to think that if we pulled out, the terrorists would leave us alone. They will not leave us alone. They will follow us. The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad. Osama bin Laden calls this fight "the Third World War" -- and he says that victory for the terrorists in Iraq will mean America's "defeat and disgrace forever." If we yield Iraq to men like bin Laden, our enemies will be emboldened; they will gain a new safe haven; they will use Iraq's resources to fuel their extremist movement. We will not allow this to happen. America will stay in the fight. Iraq will be a free nation, and a strong ally in the war on terror.
"Remembrance is worthless without resolve. And resolve is useless without recognition. You can't know our enemies, let alone defeat them, with your head buried in the sand hiding from the 'Islamophobia' brigade."
"It is amazing to me that after five years of reflection on the events of September 11, 2001 President Bush finds himself in the position of having to explain to members of Congress and other World Leaders why we are fighting the War on Terror. It puzzles me that 5 years later members of Congress and the press think it is more important to publicize the classified workings of our National Defense rather than to keep it secret. Finally, I have no words to describe the lack of understanding I have for members of Congress who are actually running on the platform of pulling our troops out of Iraq according to a well-publicized time-table, thereby allowing the terrorists to plan to their future attacks."
"George Bush let people die on rooftops in New Orleans because they were poor and because they were black."
