It is a huge speculation that Canon’s IXUS is all about style and nothing about substance. Well, maybe your opinion will change after the new Canon IXUS 115 HS which has a huge amount to offer. Not to be underestimated is that it's an IXUS, so it's well built, looks stunning and is super-compact. For the given price, the offered 4x zoom range is nothing more than adequate, but if you don't go in for panoramic landscapes or wildlife photography, that will be no loss and 4x is good enough to help frame the vast majority of 'everyday' shots.View Image of Canon Ixus 115 Hs The exact dimensions of Canon IXUS 115 HS measure 93 mm x 56 mm x 20mm and the device measures 140 grams including card and battery.

very interesting grave marker of Thomas Toberman in the historic Prairie du Chien Evergreen cemetery. There is a lot of speculation about this unusual-looking stone and its origins. Whether the marker is a meteorite, a rare stone formation, or something else…no one knows
Before dying, Mr. Toberman requested that this unusual rock be used as his headstone in the cemetery. Permission was requested from the Evergreen cemetery board to place the stone. After permission was denied because it wasn’t a “real” engraved marker, it mysteriously showed up on his plot the following week.
Meteorite?
According to an article published in a local newspaper (the Courier Press) a few decades ago, the marker is a meteorite that fell as a fireball on the deceased’s farm when he lived in the Prairie du Chien area. From the looks of it, it is easy to imagine that it came from outerspace and became deeply pitted as it burned through earth’s atmosphere.
Meteor-wrong?
Another theory is that it is a rare stone formation that can only be found in 2 or 3 places in the world (the St. Croix valley in Wisconsin, someplace in China, and possibly someplace in Arizona). This theory is that it is made of limestone that was eroded into its current shape by swirling vortices of water. According to this story, Mr. Toberman discovered the rock in the St. Croix River valley while working there as a lumberjack.
There was a lot of speculation earlier this year about KCS running some trains over the IC&E, but so far it's just been the occasional straying power that stays for a few days, as was the case last week when these two KCS motors made a few round trips with the 272 and 273. The 273 of 6-1-13 found them pulling into Davis Junction to make a setout.
The cosmos serves the new media arts collective Quadrature as an incomprehensible yet genuinely real place. A place full of concepts and superlatives which very often transcend a common mind. Full of theories that arise from enlightened reasoning but leave you with nothing but wonder, awe and (dis)belief. This wild mixture of science and speculations, of rationality and of most basic emotions creates the background for the series of works shown in Linz.

There are a lot of discussions and speculations about this plane on the internet. It seems this plane is a very mysterious one.
Some information from the internet:
Along the lines of secret bases, there are organizations of a somewhat spooky nature based at rather ordinary facilities. [AKA, hiding in plain site.]
FEST is the Foreign Emergency Support Team.
Now delving into grayer areas, it seems that there are some civilian 757's that might also be associated with FEST. Investigations into "extraordinary rendition" revealed a number of civilian aircraft used by the CIA. But it isn't clear that all the aircraft in the investigation were used for snatching suspected terrorists. Probably only the business jets were used for that function. Two civilian 757s turned up, namely N610G and N226G.
Of course there is no proof these planes are part of FEST. They might have other spooky functions.
But the internet rumors don't stop here. Some people believe that these civilian 757s are really the USAF C-32Bs with quick paint jobs. It isn't exactly likely to find all these planes parked together somewhere and prove that rumor invalid, but here again, nobody is provided proof positive N610G or N226G are really Earl Shibe conversions of the USAF jets.
Now to top it off, and I can't reveal my source, but N610G was recently at the Tonopah Test Range.
Light engine movement taking a Colas 70 to Carlisle - speculation suggests to take over the log trains from Carlisle Yard to Chirk.
Philadelphia City Hall is the seat of government for the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At 167 m (548 ft), including the statue, it is the world's tallest masonry building: the weight of the building is borne by granite and brick walls up to 22 feet (6.7 m) thick, rather than steel; the principal exterior materials are limestone, granite, and marble.
The exact height of City Hall is 547' 11-3/4", which has led to mock speculation among some Philadelphians about "what happened to the last quarter inch?", a reference to corruption in city government which was widespread in Philadelphia in earlier days.
It was the tallest habitable building (although surpassed by monuments) in the world from 1901 to 1908 and the tallest in Pennsylvania until 1932 when surpassed by the Gulf Tower. It remained the tallest building in Philadelphia until the construction of One Liberty Place (1984-1987) broke the informal "gentlemen's agreement" that limited the height of tall buildings in the city. It remains the tallest masonry building in the world.
"Hannah Courtoy (1784 - 26 January 1849), born Hannah Peters, was a London society woman who inherited a fortune from the merchant John Courtoy in 1815. Her distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum in London's Brompton Cemetery has been the subject of considerable curiosity and speculation ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 repeated claims that it contained a working time machine.
"Hannah Courtoy was born Hannah Peters in 1784. She never married but had three daughters, Mary Ann (1801), Elizabeth (1804-1876), and Susannah (1807-1895). In 1830, Susannah married Septimus Holmes Godson, a barrister of Gray's Inn.
"In 1815, Courtoy inherited a fortune from the elderly merchant John Courtoy (born Nicholas Jacquinet in France, 1709) through a Will that was disputed in court.
"Courtoy's distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum of 1854[9] in Brompton Cemetery, where her unmarried daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann are also interred, has been the subject of considerable curiosity ever since a report by Reuters in 1998[10] reported on rumours that it might be or contain a working time machine, a speculation that has been fuelled by various articles written by the musician Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld."

More on the story of Hannah Courtoy's mausoleum
Independent article on the time machine theory
"Brompton Cemetery is a London cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is managed by The Royal Parks, and is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Established by Act of Parliament and erected in 1839, it opened in 1840 and was originally known as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery.
"Consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, the Bishop of London in June 1840, it is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, mark the resting place of more than 205,000 burials. The site includes large plots for family mausolea, and common graves where coffins are piled deep into the earth, as well as a small columbarium. There is also a secluded Garden of Remembrance at the northern end, for cremated remains. It is also an urban haven for nature.
"By the early years of the 19th century, inner city burial grounds, mostly churchyards, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. In 1837 a decision was made to lay out a new burial ground in Brompton, London. The moving spirit behind the project was the engineer, Stephen Geary, and it was necessary to form a company in order to get parliamentary permission to raise capital for the purpose. Securing the land – some 40 acres – from local landowner, Lord Kensington and the Equitable Gas Light Company, as well as raising the money proved an extended challenge. The cemetery became one of seven large, new cemeteries founded by private companies in the mid-19th century (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') forming a ring around the edge of London."

2420. A photograph open to speculation as to dating. Without much to go on - other than the unidentified River Class frigate opposite and some similar photos earlier, we would guess that this is HMAS CULGOA at Williamstown soon after her commissioning on April 1, 1947, and that the ship under construction in the far background is the Battle Class destroyer HMAS ANZAC [II], laid down at Williamstown on September 22, 1946, and launched on August 20, 1948.
If correct, that would put this photograph at the opposite end of CULGOA's service career to that shown several back at pic NO. 2416, in December 1953, where she is paid off at Williamstown and berthed opposite HMAS VENDETTA [II] under construction. That's here:

Business competitor of the "David Kim", beautiful woman of mystery "AYAKO" is behind the scenes. Amid rumors of a blasting plan by anti-government organization of Uighur, Taoka was abducted by someone. Is going on what exactly? . The identity of the mastermind pulling the thread in the shade? Speculation of each intertwined behind the scenes, battle that is not visible to the eye. Conspiracy. Temptation. Doubt. Ambition. Betrayal. The time limit on the heels.

Just Why Is Xavier Chungu Back In Town
By Comrade Derrick Sinjela
BETTER late than never is a British parlance of old that to greater extents explains the return of Zambia's much revered and feared past immediate Director General of the Zambia Intelligence Security Services (ZISS).
While one independent media columnist, hits the nail on the head that the Almighty Great Shu Shu Shu (James Bond 007), is back on account of preparedness, speculations are mounting that perhaps the compromised stance taken by Rupiah Bwezani Banda and his henchmen, could have prompted the Zambian Spy Wiz kid to return home.
Another political school of thought attributes the development to the uncontested fact that since the demise of the anti-corruption stalwart, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, to date it is difficult to find a determined anti-graft personality in the Zambian Government of Bwezani Banda.
Our court and prosecution system seems to be very much political as more often than not only those that are targeted by the state face the wrath of the law as evident by the manner characterising the run-up to the controversially held Presidential Bye-Elections on October 30, 2008.
Thus with little explanations bearing fruit on the timing of Xavier's return, many fear that the political grape vine will have a field day speculating.
Just as in politics itself, it seems in matters of graft they are neither permanent friends nor enemies given the realignments that were characteristic of the re-alignments that held sway in Zambia recently.
For the uninitiated, we saw, the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) patching up differences with Second Republican President, Dr Frederick Chiluba, and ironically witnessed First Republican President, Dr Kenneth David Kaunda, sharing the platform in support of Rupiah Banda. Perhaps with Rupiah in the saddle at State House, the United National Independence Party (UNIP) is equally comfortable eating on the same table with the MMD and of course sharing a bed.
The realignments are not limited to UNIP and Dr Chiluba, as Sakwiba Sikota, leader of the Liberal Party, yet another die-hard critic of the MMD Government, wholeheartedly supported Rupiah and the ruling party.
CSO Roundtable Post Election Update 2009
By McDonald Chipenzi
THE three (3) Election Monitoring Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) namely Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP), Anti-Voter Apathy Project (AVAP) and Zambia National Women's Lobby (ZNWL) organized a round
table discussion to review the 2008 presidential election.
The objective of the discussion was to allow participants to take stock, reflect and share experiences on the election and devise common strategies on the way forward. Among the participants present were from the Zambia Police Service, UPND, MMD, PF and Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD).
Others were from the United Church of Zambia (UCZ), Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ), AVAP, FODEP, NGOCC, TIZ, MISA-Zambia, MECOZ and ZNWL. It was observed during the discussion that overall, the 2008 election results showed the ruling MMD was no longer enjoying its usual share of
nationwide support. On the ECZ results map, the discussants noted that the map to some extent misrepresented the actual status quo because the MMD support base in the last election reduced, in some cases with a big margin.
Nationally, the MMD's support base had dropped by three (3)
percent i.e. from 43% in 2006 to 40% in 2008. The discussants also noted that PF and UPND commanded significant support in the country which the map could not capture.
The low voter turnout in the 2008 presidential election reduced Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata's chances of winning the election and that had the voter turnout been high, Mr. Sata would perhaps have carried the day.
However, comparatively, from 2001 to 2008, PF is the only party that has been gaining in its vote share across the country. In the 2008 Presidential Election, PF was the only party that gained support in almost the nine (9) provinces. The UPND gained more support in Northwestern, Western and Southern provinces while the MMD gained more in Eastern Province, Lusaka and Southern provinces.
Media Ethics Council of Zambia (MECOZ) noted that specially on the complaint lodging structure and editorial comments. MECOZ attributed these weaknesses in the Code together with the
weaknesses in MECOZ's constitution to its failure to enforce the Code on media bodies to adhere to the acceptable ethics in their coverage of elections. The Council also noted that the lack of a media body to monitor media coverage during elections complicated the situation.
Ribfest was amazing, despite the meat sweats. Nine competitors, a lot of silent speculation, an Excel spreadsheet for vote tallying, and the whole game came down to tenderness.
Jason's stellar ribs, which were fall-off-the bone tender, took the win! (Mine came in second, above.) We did add a "fan favorite" to see if it differed from the "scientific" votes, and it did--Tania's husband pulled 3 votes to garner that prize (where he was strong in the flavor and looks category, he faltered on tenderness).
Oh, and if you want the recipe, it's the same one I made for my aunt and uncle's highly unscientific Ribfest last summer, using leftover rub from then and the extra rack of ribs I'd had in the freezer since then. (Um, let's say I let the meat age just that little bit longer.)
En la calle Domingo Malagón, en el mismo centro de Parla, se pueden ver un par de esqueletos de edificios que fueron abandonados durante su construcción. Son el ejemplo de la desaforada avaricia constructora sin fundamento que reinó en Parla hasta hace poco tiempo y que amenaza con volver en forma de PGOU. Son mudos testigos de la vil y ruin especulación y de un urbanismo salvaje y depredador promovido por muchos Ayuntamientos de España, el de Parla a la cabeza, que no pretende mejorar al calidad de vida, ni el desarrollo económico ni la ordenación del territorio, sólo el pelotazo, dinero fácil, comisiones, el saqueo y la corrupción a cargo de empresarios y políticos.

Artistic speculation of a relative elevation model for Sikun Labyrinthus, Titan.
This graphic attempts to use channel and valley relationships in different terrain units to infer relative elevation in the region around Sikun Labyrinthus on Titan.
Low order --> high order = upstream --> downstream = higher elevation --> lower elevation.
While many of the terrain units could be placed on a relative scale, others are speculative. So this is partly artistic speculation rather than hard science. Still, most of the observed relationships seem to fit the model.
Pixel values are relative, not absolute. Blue indicates lower relative elevations, while yellows and orange indictes higher relative elevations. North is at top in the image.

On the day of a key European parliamentary vote on food speculation, campaigners from Campact, Friends of the Earth Europe, SOS-Faim and the World Development Movement lay out 925 pots and pans outside the European parliament. 925 represents the number of people hungry in the world today. Campaigners also present a petition with 100k signatories to key Euro MPs.
The opening reception for our "Tiffany Shin: Microbial Speculation of Our Gut Feelings" featured a food-based performance entitled, "Perfect Fruit"–which mapped the degradation of biodiversity and homogenization of microbiota in our food systems.
Endless food for speculation here. The first thing one notices about this house on the Norfolk coast is that it is joined to a conventional dwelling next door. This would suggest that it is a remodelling and enlargement of a semi-detached Victorian house. I wonder how it went down with the neighbours. It is only in the elevation facing the road, which looks to me of the 50s or 60s, that we get any clue as to date. I should say it was one man's project, realised with the co-operation of a sympathetic builder, rather than an architect-designed job. The vision is extended to include the garden, where upraised lengths of weathered driftwood and columns of beach pebbles direct one's eyes and thoughts heavenwards.
Speculation is perfectly all right, but if you stay there you've only founded a superstition. If you test it, you've started a science.
