It will be interesting to hear more from him on cross. That's if he stops crying. Is his crying for himself or her?

Looks like a stabbing at a Toronto office today as well. Luckily no guns were involved or it could have been far worse. No one died. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/chuang-li-former-employee-charged-in-toronto-office-stabbings-1.2603977

Yes, it has moved several times because of the fine tuning of the analysis. That is to be expected. Like I said previously, this type of analysis has never been done before.

It certainly is mind boggling. The more information they uncover, the more questions that arise.

And sorry, I have no link for the above WWWTT, so don't even bother asking. It's all based on the talking heads on CNN (aviation analysts).

Expert analysis that has been done has determined the most plausible scenario is that the plane went into the ocean. The type of analysis they have done with such little information has never been done before and it's actually quite remarkable that they were able to determine a possible entry point. An aviation analyst, (Richard something or other from CNN) has said that this will change the way they investigate plane crashes in the future. This to me sounds like the only evidence we have that the plane crashed. There is no evidence that it landed safely anywhere else.

Definition of melting pot: All of the people in a society would blend together to form one basic cultural norm based on the dominant culture. Multicultural: many different types of social and cultural lifestyles

Sounds like this should be a whole new thread! Multiculturalism!! Who is for it and against it here in Canada.

Russel Peters has some great jokes to say about us whities being a minority. I won't repeat them here, but they are hilarious. I have eaten at an african restaurant, many years ago, can't recall where the owners were actually from, but we did eat without utensils and it was simply mind boggling and one of the experiences in my life that showed me there are other people in this world who are not like me and that is something to be enjoyed and explored and not to hide from or fight against.

You are missing what multiculturalism in a community is all about then.

And it certainly makes life more fun and interesting when you can explore and learn about other people's cultures in your own home country.

Well, that is your opinion of course. I like to keep an open mind and embrace other cultures. I have no problem with other nationalities practicing their traditions in Canada. In fact, there are many parades, festivals etc in BC that celebrate other cultures and their traditions. Why not allow other traditions in your home country and have a life that is exposed to the rest of the world? Why is wrong with that?

You haven't really defined what it is that makes you to be against multiculturalism. Naturally, we don't embrace honour killings,female circumcision etc, but there are plenty of other cultural elements of another country that we can embrace. Once we can do this, it breaks down racial barriers.

Have you ever eaten at an authentic restaurant owned by Afghani's, Afrikkans?

Wow, I suppose you have never lived in a large urban city?

We are diehards!

Of course I've added links.

Why are you no friend of multiculturalism?

That theory was thrown out there by Miles O'Brien, the aviation analyst on CNN. Sorry, no link is available. Sometimes there just are no links.

For crying out loud! This is a fast moving story. A lot of these theories are heard on television via experts. There may not be links.

Another theory is that they took the plane around Indonesia to stay over the ocean so the passengers wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone via their cell phones. Another new theory!

Very disturbing. Hopefully since 2000, things have improved.

Trial is back on today. After listening to Oscar's testimony on the stand, sounds like he took on a lot of his mother's anxiety when it comes to breakins. Could explain his paranoid actions.

Now I know all you folks back east think TO is the center of the universe, but how about those Canucks! They are still barely in the hunt.

As for the pings the chance of finding in the sea that deap the black box is less than 1% and it probably ied out by now. The assumption the black box survived intact then could rest at a deep bottom of the ocean and keep working without being compromised by the pressure of the ocean, temperature, duration of battery, etc. is huge. One poster asked if pings could be mammals such as dolphins. Its actuall a great question. Sonic signals from whales or dolphins/porpoises can be picked up by ship radar but the chance of it being mistaken for a ship radar, or ship or black box is highly unlikley. Different frequency. I defer to the experts if there are any but my basic knowledge of the brain of these mammals is their signal is easily detectable and is different and is often compromised by ship radar and can actually kill them or drive them insane but black box pings not the same. I was listening to the press conference by the australians last night and an interview with the cmdr on the u.s. ship and they have both said that the pings could possibly come from the black boxes. They gave no indication that these boxes would not have survived in these deep waters and hearing two difference frequencies gave them more hope that the pings were coming from the two boxes. The frequencies that were chosen for these black boxes were chosen precisely to not interfere with frequencies of other means.
