While keeping it simple, there is a big difference between the iPhone 3 and 4, the 4 being quite a bit better. The iPhone 4 and 4s have less of a margin in difference, mainly the 4s has a faster processor, better video recording and better camera. I think it's like: Camera: iPhone 3: 3.2mp iPhone 4: 5mp iPhone 4s: 8mp Video: iPhone 3: Regular Video iPhone 4: HD 720p iPhone 4s: HD 1080p The Siri voice control was also only present from 4S on.

Would make sense, at the time I posted there were no comments. I had assumed that since it was tweeted as real by a media personal they would at least make sure it is, before posting it. I am reminded, it's the media.

I was even in the Tsunami watch, but the watches and warnings have now been lifted. But not before a couple of fairly small tsunamis were reported, a TV meteorologist tweeted this video: http://t.co/oiSinQSD

Just for the record, sexual preference and alcohol and drugs are not in any way the same. These are things you crave because they have addictive properties and you had them and then wanted more. A homosexual doesn't need to have sex with a man to know that it is what he desires. Same way you won't find someone who has never had alcohol yet feels it is his calling and craves it. It's a dependency, homosexual is not in any way a dependency, it's like preferring chicken over beef. You can eat as much beef as you want but you will always know the chicken is what you really want. Not to mention the direct self-destructive natures of substance use as opposed to homosexuality. Why do you want to have sex with all kinds of women when you are married? And if you have this constant craving that you are holding back on, it would indicate you are not sexually satisfied. Though this is irrelevant as this is merely monogamy, something that homosexuals can have too. They feel a responsibility to remain true to their lovers. From your posts, I think that if being selfless is a concern of yours, then there are many other areas that require a lot of work. Yes they do, in all senses. They also have the ability to differentiate 'right' and 'wrong' in their own personal terms. So if the individual sees nothing wrong with homosexuality, why should they even attempt to try act otherwise. The sad thing is because of this constant bombardment of conservative views through the majority over the years, many homosexuals live in shame, they choose to live fake lives, they abstain from the gay sex like you seem to think they should. Many of them even rather kill themselves than live with the fact that they are gay. It doesn't matter if a homosexual never touches a penis in his life, it doesn't matter how long he has been with his wife and how faithful he has been. He is just as homosexual as any other. And then clearly pass judgement on them based on your realm of right and wrong. When I can assure you many people reading your desire to sleep with other woman but just refraining because of responsibility will judge that worse than someone's gender preference.

The idea that homosexuality is a choice has to be one of the most ignorant views possible. It lacks any form of logic, though to be fair, the side that tends to argue that does their best to avoid logic in all circumstances and rather just state what they want to believe as fact and argue like it is. I'd love to hear why many children identify with homosexual behaviour before they even know what it is. There are lots of kids who grow up in stable families with both parents present and yet their first glimpse at homosexuality is responded by with "Mom, I also feel like that... I also only like boys." Tell me what exactly homosexuals have in their life that makes it easier than a heterosexual, in no way is being gay easier than being straight. Living a straight God fearing lifestyle is about as easy as it gets. Why the hell would anyone WANT to be mocked, bullied and treated like shit in their lives, because despite what you may think about the evil liberals taking over the world. Homosexuals are still being bullied and treated worse than the average kids in school. But naturally that's something they wanted. Why would they WANT the legal issues in adoption and child raising. As someone else stated, when did you choose to be straight? People don't decide what they want to be attracted to, that fact is not exactly rocket science. People will be more attracted to blondes or brunettes, to thinner girls or larger girls, to certain facial features. Do you think these things are choices? Did you stop one day and go "You know what, I want to be attracted to brunettes" You try play some card on how they can 'control their sexual activity', which is another argument that doesn't hold any weight. The point is why should they try to hold control their sexual activity. The only reason to want to control homosexuality is if it's wrong, which it is only in your opinion. A direct equivalent would be me telling you that I find your taste in women disgusting and that you should now only find 400lb women attractive, and if you don't then you should control your sexual urges and just never be sexual with anyone. So don't say that everyone else are the ones that are distressed by the behaviour, and don't say you don't care. If you didn't care and you were so okay with their actions you wouldn't feel the need to try make it into some act that they should try 'control'. Actually from today I think you should only be attracted to 400lb black girls with shaved heads. Because that's how it works right? You choose your sexual preferences? And if you can't do that, you need to control your sexual activity. It's funny how the conservative Christians want the homosexuals to cut out their sexual activities because they don't agree with it and it's ungodly... It's so much easier for them, they just find a woman and propose so that they don't need to curb their sexual desires. You know, God forbid you have a heathen sexual relationship outside of marriage. And if that's not enough for you... Why the hell would someone turn down vagina by choice.

Thanks, I have made the changes as required.

As mentioned, all other sources get their information from the NOAA, tornado warnings are issued by the SPC division of the NOAA and only they may issue legal tornado warnings. It is my understanding that it is illegal for other companies to issue official warnings. The NOAA is the core of weather forecasting, even in South Africa we are relying on NOAA generated products like the GFS model runs. The fact that their data is freely available is something that I actually brought up in a draft to South African parliament a few months ago, because the current government sponsorship and budget of the NOAA is how it should be. There is a strong focus on saving lives and increasing tornado warning times. In contrast we have a situation here where the Government doesn't provide a large enough budget for the local weather service and in turn our national weather service has become a 'pay for' service. Charging people for radar availability. The company is almost falling apart, the radars are hardly online because they don't have the government budget needed to maintain them properly, and in turn we have tornadoes here that aren't even warned. They will sweep through communities without anyone knowing a thing. The idea of cutting NOAA budget is pathetic. It is an area that is constantly being developed and constantly improving in regards to saving lives. Over the past 20 years tornado warning time has increased dramatically. Because now instead of having to wait for a sighting by a spotter, one can see debris balls and hook echos on radar. There is constant progression with this, and I'm sure that if research continues it will continue to increase tornado warning times. Funny part is that I bet these people trying to cut down on satellite and development budgets are the ones who go off at forecasters when they are unable to get a forecast track right. Hurricanes play a major part in this too and you definitely need high quality expensive equipment if you want to accurately develop the model algorithms to improve forecasts. Doesn't matter what political party one is, being stingy on the NOAA budget is just stupid and will end up costing lives and bringing down one of the areas where the U.S is admirable in. A lot of my storm chaser mates over there are actively involved in chasing storms with the help of these 'over priced satellites' and radars, and they are the ones who are then able to find the funnel clouds and report back to the NOAA to get warnings out.

And it was only a 'Slight' threat as issued by the SPC. I was speaking to some of my storm chasing contacts that stay in Dallas and they were also surprised, Dallas rarely ever actually gets tornadoes. But they managed to successfully chase and spot at least 3 tornadoes within 30miles of their house. Quite a day for TX chasers hah.

South Africa has very very few, if any public transportation systems. Unlike London there is no safe trains outside of parts of Gauteng where the 'Gautrain' runs. And with taxi's generally being illegally on the road and the cause of majority of road accidents you probably wouldn't make it to work in one. I live in a suburb outside Cape Town, I am lucky enough to work near to where I live but I know many people in the area who have to travel to Cape Town each day which is a 60mile round trip. So those staying 30 miles outside of their work area generally spend up to 30% of their salary on petrol to work, easily. 2000km a month to get to work at R1 per km, $280 a month on a salary of about $1000 is quite a punch. In Gauteng this can easily be doubled for users travelling from Northern Pretoria to Johannesburg daily. South Africa is very much like the US in that very few people actually stay in the cities and the suburbs can be quite a distance from the cities and private means of transport are a must in everyday life.
-
I was about to comment saying "oh God, not more Americans complaining of their petrol price which is among the lowest in the world!" But yeah, it's rough... In S.A we pay what is equivalent to R40 ($6) a gallon. And they think $4 a gallon is bad Not to mention the fact that minimum wage in the US is about double that of S.A. Easily takes double the knock on S.A pockets.

Went down to the local beach on that last week of February and snapped a shot of Venus, Jupiter and the moon. Fire dancer on the bottom left. Quite a fan of astronomy.

I can't find the article I read now, I was sure it used the term medical examiner, but it may well have been the funeral home. Though sentiments remain regardless of inaccurate description. Point being if there was this big violent nose breaking fight, surely there would be evidence on the knuckles and surely a guy Zimmerman's size would be able to claw, scratch or throw a punch in the scuffle. Nobody is that bad of a fighter.

The medical examiner has stated that there were no signs of a fight on the victim, there were no scuffs on his knuckles or other signs of a struggle. As anyone that has been in a fight knows, it doesn't take much of a punch at all to cause some skin abrasions on your hand or bruising around the knuckles. To beat down a guy Zimmerman's size, it would definitely take some punching. Generally when you break someone's nose you will be able to see some evidence of it on your hand. I also can't see a guy that size falling to the ground with a single punch and rolling around like a little girl just taking a beating from a kid until he draws his weapon. There would be a scuffle and it if his claims are correct, it would have been easily visible on the victim's body. And the argument that race played a part isn't too difficult to establish from the evidence. What made this person 'suspicious' and worth following. Hoodies are worn by kids daily regardless of their location and they aren't a sign of suspicious behaviour. Why would he even follow him? He wasn't smashing 40s on the sidewalk or running around with a can of spray paint in his hand, the only thing that could logically play a role into making him look suspicious is his colour. I'm sure the usual suspects are going to try refute it but you can say what you like, there is more than enough evidence for a clear thinking person to make a basic conclusion from the reported facts.

Unfortunately this site has been around for a long time and because of that many previous users have closed the e-mail accounts they registered with, but left their DZ forum notifications on. Because of this our system has been sending closed addresses forum updates for their subscriptions and the bounced e-mails have been picked up by spam filters. I can say that we are working hard at getting this removed very soon.
