It’s Movie Night at the Capitol!

Stop by the Chatham Capitol Theatre tonight at 7 to see The Miracle On 34th Street on the big screen.

$5 cash at the door, concessions are available.

The third and final Santa Show of the year is tonight at 6!

Santa will be on CKSY to talk to all the good little girls and boys from 6 til 7.

Thank you to all our sponsors; Tim Cummings Sales Rep at Realty House, Profota’s Farm Equipment, Johnny Quests and Musical Strings and Things.

There’s a chance the U.S. government will shutdown in the next few days, and it could go through Christmas.

And while this might not be the most important thing to worry about, you might be wondering: Will NORAD still do its Santa Tracker if the government is shut down?

The answer is, yes. NORAD is a United States and Canada bi-national organization which defends the homeland through aerospace warning, aerospace control, and maritime warning for North America. It’s part of the U.S. Defense Department budget, which won’t be affected by the shutdown, plus the Santa Tracker is really cheap to run, since it’s mostly funded by corporate sponsors and staffed by volunteers.

The tracker will be available at NORADSanta.org.

NASA has discovered that Saturn’s rings are disappearing faster than previously expected.

The rings are being pulled into Saturn by gravity because of Saturn’s magnetic field. They estimate that this ‘ring rain’ drains an amount of water that could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool from Saturn’s rings in half an hour.

Scientists believe that Saturn’s rings have 100 million years to live. This is relatively short, compared to the planets age of over 4 billion year

We’re seeing #Saturn’s rings at just the right time. Scientists estimate that this spectacular phenomenon is no more than 100 million years old—a short time during the life of the solar system—and the rings won’t last forever. Learn more: https://t.co/KWDIKAbwmm pic.twitter.com/upQ9ZlV1wY

LG is rumoured to release their roll-up wallpaper television next year. The 65-inch screen retracts with the touch of a button. It can be rolled up and stored like a poster.

Before you get all psyched at the idea of rolling up your OLED TV, sticking it in a poster tube, and setting it up at a friend’s house, it’s unlikely that LG sees this as a portability-based design. It’s more likely users would stop treating their TV like a piece of art when it’s not in use, and just have it disappear completely.

How much will it cost? The rumour didn’t come with a price tag.
