As Beijing Olympic Games is approaching, the world community is increasingly concerned about the passing of the Olympic Flame whose conception and inspiration is from orientation traditional design” Lucky Clouds”.
It is the first time in Olympic history that it applies design elements of Olympic torch to technical products. The design of this reserve Torch Flame Disk is shown to be homologues with Olympic torch design. It adopts torch Lucky Clouds design and divides proportion pattern on the whole style. It chooses the aluminum alloy the same as material of Olympic torch. Deeply culture essence of this flame disk is expressed by Lucky Clouds design and solid relief pattern. The whole body is light thin but high quality, hollow design, texture bone but pretty soft light.
The material and appearance technology dealing is equal to Beijing Olympic Torch. Clouds grain is affixed by hand, supplied by Beijing 2008 Olympic manufactures. A design etches on a plate. So all of the technology makes the disk become more special and gains more collection value.
The storage medium of this Disk adopts the super stable Grade A flash disk chips and anti-interference system to protect the data by the greatest. With standard USB2.0 interface, as plug in, as use in Windows2000/XP/Vista system. 2G capacity, what ever transfer speed or record speed, this Flame Disk has its own obvious advantages comparing with the other flash disk.
Such a small flash disk, combining Chinese traditional culture elements symbolized by painting red and lucky clouds and some applied properties, should be the best collections which can remind cherish Chinese Olympic memory and be preserved forever.

Hi everyone! Time for your daily dose of me! Pretty soon, you’re going to be addicted.
Lulu’s Lunacy: While looking on Craig’s List (Boston), I found this very tantalizing post:
$1400/4BR – Unique housing situation in Brighton. I’m going to Europe! (Brookline/Coolidge corner)
I have a really nice six bedroom in Brookline. I will sublet you the house and you can only use the two bedrooms. They are huge! 250 square feet. I use the other bedrooms for my pet chickens and snakes (10 pythons they are about 8 feet long). I use the chickens to feed them. There are probably 30 or so chickens and hens they lay eggs and don’t sqwack too much! They are all well behaved and will not bother you. I will charge you $1300. No one else will be there just the animals.
I am traveling to Europe and Africa and need someone to watch over my stuff while i’m gone. You can have the place furnished or unfurnished. Parking is included and so is the stuff listed below. Please let me know if this sounds like something you would like. You would just have to feed my Pythons and chickens. Really easy!!!!

Don’t believe me? Check it out yourself. (Craig’s list links expire after about week, so you had better hurry!)
Please post any and all questions/comments/concerns. I would love to generate an active and lively discussion.
Or, how the NYPD got away with murder. Again.
In case you haven’t been following this story, here’s a link. Back in 2006, three police officers shot a man named Sean Bell 50 times as he was leaving a strip club during his bachelor party. Bell and his friends were unarmed. The cops claimed they had reason to believe that Bell was going for a gun, and apparently that justified not only shooting Bell, but in the case of one officer emptying his gun, reloading, and emptying it again. At no point were the officers ever actually under fire, or even under threat of violence, but apparently Detective Michael Oliver felt that he needed to fire 31 rounds to take Bell down.
Here’s a bit of a lesson: Police officers, and really anyone who takes firearm courses, are taught in general to fire two to four shots at the target’s center of mass. Had each of the officers followed these guidelines, the shooting would still not have been justified, but at least they would have only expended 10-12 rounds total. Nowhere in police operating doctrine does it instruct officers to empty their magazine, reload, and empty it again when they are not under fire.
Not that this mattered to the courts. Once again, the justice system deemed the words and actions of police officers infallible. Just as in the case of Amadou Diallo, a man who about a decade back was shot 41 times by police officers, the officers who murdered Sean Bell were acquitted of all charges.
And the police wonder why we don’t trust them…
