Перепост, пожалуйста.
У нас в городе ЧП.
Трое подонков-"мажоров" изнасиловали восемнадцатилетнюю девчонку, которую потом попытались задушить и подожгли.
Нелюди - сын бывшего прокурора, сын бывшего главы райадминистрации (работавший в городском управлении культуры юристом) и еще один выродок из обеспеченного семейства.
Девочка по имени Оксана Макар выжила.
Девочка в состоянии, даже читать о котором страшно. Если у вас крепкие нервы - вот здесь фотографии и детальное описание.
Город гудит.
Мразей этих сначала назвали свидетелями и отпустили на подписку, а потом, когда началась огласка, снова взяли под арест.
Местные СМИ и власти сначала пытались происшедшее замалчивать, но блоггеры в соцсетях подняли шум, связались с главной новостной программой центрального всеукраинского канала - и вышли на акцию протеста под мэрию и под прокуратуру.
И все равно мать-одиночка, растившая эту несчастную девчонку, над которой так поглумились, боится, что дело спустят на тормозах.
Я сейчас напишу страшную вещь - но я тоже в этом практически уверена.
Я живу в этом городе всю жизнь, я знаю, кто и что в этом городе правит бал.
Знаю не понаслышке, увы.
Деньги. И связи.
А значит, обыкновенные люди, без чиновных пап и мам, без связей в горсовете - в этом городе бесправны.
А потому единственная надежда - максимальная огласка.
Помогите перепостом, пожалуйста.

From The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, Gary Cooper as Howard Roark delivers the memorable courtroom speech in self-defense for dynamiting Courtland.


nasonart.com/personal/lifelessons/fountainhead....
Howard Roark's
Courtroom Speech

From The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand

“Thousands of years ago, the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light. He was considered an evildoer who had dealt with a demon mankind dreaded. But thereafter men had fire to keep them warm, to cook their food, to light their caves. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had lifted dardness off the earth. Centuries later, the first man invented the wheel. He was probably torn on the rack he had taught his brothers to build. He was considered a transgressor who ventured into forbidden terrritory. But thereafter, men could travel past any horizon. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had opened the roads of the world.
“That man, the unsubmissive and first, stands in the opening chapter of every legend mankind has recorded about its beginning. Prometheus was chained to a rock and torn by vultures—because he had stolen the fire of the gods. Adam was condemned to suffer—because he had eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Whatever the legend, somewhere in the shadows of its memory mankind knew that its glory began with one and that that one paid for his courage.
“Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received—hatred. The great creators—the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors—stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.
“No creator was prompted by a desire to serve his brothers, for his brothers rejected the gift he offered and that gift destroyed the slothful routine of their lives. His truth was his only motive. His own truth, and his own work to achieve it in his own way. A symphony, a book, an engine, a philosophy, an airplane or a building—that was his goal and his life. Not those who heard, read, operated, believed, flew or inhabited the thing he had created. The creation, not its users. The creation, not the benefits others derived from it. The creation which gave form to his truth. He held his truth above all things and against all men.
“His vision, his strength, his courage came from his own spirit. A man's spirit, however, is his self. That entity which is his consciousness. To think, to feel, to judge, to act are functions of the ego.
“The creators were not selfless. It is the whole secret of their power—that it was self-sufficient, self-motivated, self-generated. A first cause, a fount of energy, a life force, a Prime Mover. The creator served nothing and no one. He lived for himself.
“And only by living for himself was he able to achieve the things which are the glory of mankind. Such is the nature of achievement.
“Man cannot survive except through his mind. He comes on earth unarmed. His brain is his only weapon. Animals obtain food by force. Man has no claws, no fangs, no horns, no great strength of muscle. He must plant his food or hunt it. To plant, he needs a process of thought. To hunt, he needs weapons, and to make weapons—a process of thought. From this simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from a single attribute of man—the function of his reasoning mind.
“But the mind is an attribute of the individual. There is no such thing as a collective brain. There is no such thing as a collective thought. An agreement reached by a group of men is only a compromise or an average drawn upon many individual thoughts. It is a secondary consequence. The primary act—the process of reason—must be performed by each man alone. We can divide a meal among many men. We cannot digest it in a collective stomach. No man can use his lungs to breathe for another man. No man can use his brain to think for another. All the functions of body and spirit are private. They cannot be shared or transferred.
“We inherit the products of the thought of other men. We inherit the wheel. We make a cart. The cart becomes an automobile. The automobile becomes an airplane. But all through the process what we receive from others is only the end product of their thinking. The moving force is the creative faculty which takes this product as material, uses it and originates the next step. This creative faculty cannot be given or received, shared or borrowed. It belongs to single, individual men. That which it creates is the property of the creator. Men learn from one another. But all learning is only the exchange of material. No man can give another the capacity to think. Yet that capacity is our only means of survival.
“Nothing is given to man on earth. Everything he needs has to be produced. And here man faces his basic alternative: he can survive in only one of two ways—by the independent work of his own mind or as a parasite fed by the minds of others. The creator originates. The parasite borrows. The creator faces nature alone. The parasite faces nature through an intermediary.
“The creator’s concern is the conquest of nature. The parasite’s concern is the conquest of men.
“The creator lives for his work. He needs no other men. His primary goal is within himself. The parasite lives second-hand. He needs others. Others become his prime motive.
“The basic need of the creator is independence. The reasoning mind cannot work under any form of compulsion. It cannot be curbed, sacrificed or subordinated to any consideration whatsoever. It demands total independence in function and in motive. To a creator, all relations with men are secondary.
“The basic need of the second-hander is to secure his ties with men in order to be fed. He places relations first. He declares that man exists in order to serve others. He preaches altruism.
“Altruism is the doctrine which demands that man live for others and place others above self.
“No man can live for another. He cannot share his spirit just as he cannot share his body. But the second-hander has used altruism as a weapon of expoloitation and reversed the base of mankind’s moral principles. Men have been taught every precept that destroys the creator. Men have been taught dependence as a virtue.
“The man who attemps to live for others is a dependent. He is a parasite in motive and makes parasites of those he serves. The relationship produces nothing but mutual corruption. It is impossible in concept. The nearest approach to it in reality—the man who lives to serve others—is the slave. If physical slavery is repulsive, how much more repulsive is the concept of servility of the spirit? The conquered slave has a vestige of honor. He has the merit of having resisted and of considering his condition evil. But the man who enslaves himself voluntarily in the name of love is the basest of creatures. He degrades the dignity of man and he degrades the conception of love. But this is the essence of altruism.
“Men have been taught that the highest virtue is not to achieve, but to give. Yet one cannot give that which has not been created. Creation comes before distribution—or there will be nothing to distribute. The need of the creator comes before the need of any possible beneficiary. Yet we are taught to admire the second-hander who dispenses gifts he has not produced above the man who made the gifts possible. We praise an act of charity. We shrug at an act of achievement.
“Men have been taught that their first concern is to relieve the sufferings of others. But suffering is a disease. Should one come upon it, one tries to give relief and assistance. To make that the highest test of virtue is to make suffering the most important part of life. Then man must wish to see others suffer—in order that he may be virtuous. Such is the nature of altruism. The creator is not concerned with disease, but with life. Yet the work of the creators has eliminated one form of disease after another, in man’s body and spirit, and brought more relief from suffering than any altruist could ever conceive.
“Men have been taught that it is a virtue to agree with others. But the creator is the man who disagrees. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to swim with the current. But the creator is the man who goes against the current. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone.
“Men have been taught that the ego is the synonym of evil, and selflessness the ideal of virtue. But the creator is the egotist in the absolute sense, and the selfless man is the one who does not think, feel, judge or act. These are functions of the self.
“Here the basic reversal is most deadly. The issue has been perverted and man has been left no alternative—and no freedom. As poles of good and evil, he was offered two conceptions: egotism and altruism. Egotism was held to mean the sacrifice of others to self. Altruism—the sacrifice of self to others. This tied man irrevocably to other men and left him nothing but a choice of pain: his own pain borne for the sake of others or pain inflicted upon others for the sake of self. When it was added that man must find joy in self-immolation, the trap was closed. Man was forced to accept masochism as his ideal—under the threat that sadism was his only alternative. This was the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind.
“This was the device by which dependence and suffering were perpetuated as fundamentals of life.
“The choice is not self-sacrifice or domination. The choice is independence or dependence. The code of the creator or the code of the second-hander. This is the basic issue. It rests upon the alternative of life or death. The code of the creator is built on the needs of the reasoning mind which allows man to survive. The code of the second-hander is built on the needs of a mind incapable of survival. All that which proceeds from man’s independent ego is good. All that which proceeds from man’s dependence upon men is evil.
“The egotist is the absolute sense is not the man who sacrifices others. He is the man who stands above the need of using others in any manner. He does not function through them. He is not concerned with them in any primary matter. Not in his aim, not in his motive, not in his thinking, not in his desires, not in the source of his energy. He does not exist for any other man—and he asks no other man to exist for him. This is the only form of brotherhood and mutual respect possible between men.
“Degrees of ability vary, but the basic principle remains the same: the degree of a man’s independence, initiative and personal love for his work determines his talent as a worker and his worth as a man. Independence is the only gauge of human virtue and value. What a man is and makes of himself; not what he has or hasn’t done for others. There is no substitute for personal dignity. There is no standard of personal dignity except independence.
“In all proper relationships there is no sacrifice of anyone to anyone. An architect needs clients, but he does not subordinate his work to their wishes. They need him, but they do not order a house just to give him a commission. Men exchange their work by free, mutual consent to mutual advantage when their personal interests agree and they both desire the exchange. If they do not desire it, they are not forced to deal with each other. They seek further. This is the only possible form of relationship between equals. Anything else is a relation of slave to master, or victim to executioner.
“No work is ever done collectively, by a majority decision. Every creative job is achieved under the guidance of a single individual thought. An architect requires a great many men to erect his building. But he does not ask them to vote on his design. They work together by free agreement and each is free in his proper function. An architect uses steel, glass, concrete, produced by others. But the materials remain just so much steel, glass and concrete until he touches them. What he does with them is his individual product and his individual property. This is the only pattern for proper co-operation among men.
“The first right on earth is the right of the ego. Man’s first duty is to himself. His moral law is never to place his prime goal within the persons of others. His moral obligation is to do what he wishes, provided his wish does not depend primarily upon other men. This includes the whole sphere of his creative faculty, his thinking, his work. But it does not include the sphere of the gangster, the altruist and the dictator.
“A man thinks and works alone. A man cannot rob, exploit or rule—alone. Robbery, exploitation and ruling presuppose victims. They imply dependence. They are the province of the second-hander.
“Rulers of men are not egotists. They create nothing. They exist entirely through the persons of others. Their goal is in their subjects, in the activity of enslaving. They are as dependent as the beggar, the social worker and the bandit. The form of dependence does not matter.
“But men were taught to regard second-handers—tyrants, emperors, dictators—as exponents of egotism. By this fraud they were made to destroy the ego, themselves and others. The purpose of the fraud was to destroy the creators. Or to harness them. Which is a synonym.
“From the beginning of history, the two antagonists have stood face to face: the creator and the second-hander. When the first creator invented the wheel, the first second-hander responded. He invented altruism.
“The creator—denied, opposed, persecuted, exploited—went on, moved forward and carried all humanity along on his energy. The second-hander contributed nothing to the process except the impediments. The contest has another name: the individual against the collective.
“The ‘common good’ of a collective—a race, a class, a state—was the claim and justification of every tyranny ever established over men. Every major horror of history was committed in the name of an altruistic motive. Has any act of selfishness ever equaled the carnage perpetrated by disciples of altruism? Does the fault lie in men’s hypocrisy or in the nature of the principle? The most dreadful butchers were the most sincere. They believed in the perfect society reached through the guillotine and the firing squad. Nobody questioned their right to murder since they were murdering for an altruistic purpose. It was accepted that man must be sacrificed for other men. Actors change, but the course of the tragedy remains the same. A humanitarian who starts with declarations of love for mankind and ends with a sea of blood. It goes on and will go on so long as men believe that an action is good if it is unselfish. That permits the altruist to act and forces his victims to bear it. The leaders of collectivist movements ask nothing for themselves. But observe the results.
“The only good which men can do to one another and the only statement of their proper relationship is—Hands off!
“Now observe the results of a society built on the principle of individualism. This, our country. The noblest country in the history of men. The country of greatest achievement, greatest prosperity, greatest freedom. This country was not based on selfless service, sacrifice, renunciation or any precept of altruism. It was based on a man’s right to the pursuit of happiness. His own happiness. Not anyone else’s. A private, personal, selfish motive. Look at the results. Look into your own conscience.
“It is an ancient conflict. Men have come close to the truth, but it was destroyed each time and one civilization fell after another. Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage’s whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
“Now, in our age, collectivism, the rule of the second-hander and second-rater, the ancient monster, has broken loose and is running amuck. It has brought men to a level of intellectual indecency never equaled on earth. It has reached a scale of horror without precedent. It has poisoned every mind. It has swallowed most of Europe. It is engulfing our country.
“I am an architect. I know what is to come by the principle on which it is built. We are approaching a world in which I cannot permit myself to live.
“Now you know why I dynamited Cortlandt.
“I designed Cortlandt. I gave it to you. I destroyed it.
“I destroyed it because I did not choose to let it exist. It was a double monster. In form and in implication. I had to blast both. The form was mutilated by two second-handers who assumed the right to improve upon that which they had not made and could not equal. They were permitted to do it by the general implication that the altruistic purpose of the building superseded all rights and that I had no claim to stand against it.
“I agreed to design Cortlandt for the purpose of seeing it erected as I dedigned it and for no other reason. That was the price I set for my work. I was not paid.
“I do not blame Peter Keating. He was helpless. He had a contract with his employers. It was ignored. He had a promise that the structure he offered would be built as designed. The promise was broken. The love of a man for the integrity of his work and his right to preserve it are now considered a vague intangible and an inessential. You have heard the prosecutor say that. Why was the building disfigured? For no reason. Such acts never have any reason, unless it’s the vanity of some second-handers who feel they have a right to anyone’s property, spiritual or material. Who permitted them to do it? No particular man among the dozens in authority. No one cared to permit it or to stop it. No one was responsible. No one can be held to account. Such is the nature of all collective action.
“I did not receive the payment I asked. But the owners of Cortlandt got what they needed from me. They wanted a scheme devised to build a structure as cheaply as possible. They found no one else who could do it to their satisfaction. I could and did. They took the benefit of my work and made me contribute it as a gift. But I am not an altruist. I do not contribute gifts of this nature.
“It is said that I have destroyed the home of the destitute. It is forgotten that but for me the destitute could not have had this particular home. Those who were concerned with the poor had to come to me, who have never been concerned, in order to help the poor. It is believed that the poverty of the future tenants gave them the right to my work. That their need constituted a claim on my life. That it was my duty to contribute anything demanded of me. This is the second-hander’s credo now swallowing the world.
“I came here to say that I do not recognize anyone’s right to one minute of my life. Nor to any part of my energy. Nor to any achievement of mine. No matter who makes the claim, how large their number or how great their need.
“I wished to come here and say that I am a man who does not exist for others.
“It had to be said. The world is perishing from an orgy of self-sacrificing.
“I wished to come here and say that the integrity of a man’s creative work is of greater importance than any charitable endeavor. Those of you who do not understand this are the men who’re destroying the world.
“I wished to come here and state my terms. I do not care to exist on any others.
“I recognize no obligations toward men except one: to respect their freedom and to take no part in a slave society. To my country, I wish to give the ten years which I will spend in jail if my country exists no longer. I will spend them in memory and in gratitude for what my country has been. It will be my act of loyalty, my refusal to live or work in what has taken its place.
“My act of loyalty to every creator who ever lived and was made to suffer by the force responsible for the Cortlandt I dynamited. To every tortured hour of loneliness, denial, frustration, abuse he was made to spend—and to the battles he won. To every creator whose name is known—and to every creator who lived, struggled and perished unrecognized before he could achieve. To every creator who was destroyed in body or in spirit. To Henry Cameron. To Steven Mallory. To a man who doesn’t want to be named, but who is sitting in this courtroom and knows that I am speaking of him.”

*snerk!* I don't begrudge him that he once loved The Fountainhead.
I once loved Atlas Shrugged, before I actually started thinking about objectivism and whether it'd really work.
:P It's fun to explore the crazy fringe philosophies (I had a commie phase, too) before settling down with a more practical one.

Jensen Ackles Bio Rhythm

www.starwhispers.com/celebrity-horoscopes/jense...

Primary Bio Rhythm Chart for Jensen Ackles

Physical 95 % Emotional 19 % Intellectual 2 % Intuitive 92 %
Overall 52 %

The primary Bio Rhythm

The three primary bio rhythm cycles are calculated by a time period and encompasses the three Bio Rhythm curves for Physical, Emotional and Intellectual rhythm. The fourth bio rhythm curve for Intuition was discoverd at a later time than those three before and actually does not directly belong to the primary bio rhytm curves.

Yet it can be considered to be primary because it is quite useful to know when one can trust the own sixth sense.

The Physical bio rhythm is a 23-day physical cycle which shows the strength, endurance, powers and the state of health.

The Emotional bio rhythm is a 28-day emotional cycle which shows the stability and positive energy of the psyche and theoutlook on life, as well as the capacity to empathize with and build rapport with other people.

The Intellectual bio rhythm is a 33-day cycle and represents the verbal, mathematical, symbolic, and creative abilities, as well as the capacity to apply reason and analysis to the world. The Intuitive bio rhythm is a 38-day cycle showing the unconscious perception and instincts.


Secondary Bio Rhythm Chart for Jensen Ackles

Mastery 48 % Passion 57 % Wisdom 10 %
Overall 38 %
The secondary Bio Rhythm

The three secondary cycles that derive from the primary Bio Rhythm cycles are Mastery, Passion and Wisdom. The Mastery Bio Rhythm Cycle is calculated from the interaction between the Physical and Intellectual cycles. The Mastery Bio Rhythm encompasses the ability to succeed at tasks and to obtain what is desired. This cycle also tracks athletic ability and the focus required to learn physical skills. The Passion Bio Rhythm Cycle is calculated from the combination of the Physical and Emotional cycles. The Passion Bio Rhythm encompasses the motivation to act, and the drive that allows to continue a difficult pursuit. This cycle also tracks sexuality in its purest form and affects enthusiasm, stimulus, and impulsion. The Wisdom Bio Rhythm is calculated from the interference of the Emotional and Intellectual cycles. The Wisdom Bio Rhythm encompasses the understanding of the world, what role you have in it, and the things that are truly important to your life. This cycle also tracks the presence of mind that is needed to make crucial decisions.


Extra Bio Rhythm Chart for Jensen Ackles

Perception 93 % Psychic 56 % Success 47 %
Overall 65 %
The Extra Bio Rhythm

The three extra cycles that derive from the primary Bio Rhythm cycles are Perception, Psychic and Success. It should be noted that Extra Bio Rhythms are experimental and are not necessarily right. The Perception Bio Rhythm is calculated from the interaction between the Physical and Intuitive cycles and is probably the hardest to define. It seems that Physical and Intuitive are diametrically opposed on the surface yet they are the same when all extremes meet. All five senses are covered by the Physical whereas Intuition embodies the etheric senses we are not aware of and which lie beyond conventional science. The Psychic Bio Rhythm is calculated from the combination of the Emotional and Intuitive cycles. Psychic in this sense is menat as i.e. Precognition, Remote Viewing, ESP and the likes. The Success Bio Rhythm is calculated from the interference between the Intellectual and Intuitive cycles. It shows the success patterns for finances, business, scientific discovery and the likes.

I-Ching Bio Rhythm Chart for Jensen Ackles

Aesthetic 81 % Awareness 90 % Spiritual 44 %
Overall 72 %
The I-Ching Rhythm

Like the Primary Bio Rhythms the I-Ching Rhythm is calculated by a time period. The I-Ching encompasses the three Bio Rhythm curves for Aesthetic, Self-awarness and Spiritual rhythm. The Aesthetic I-Ching bio rhythm is a 43-day cycle which influences harmony and interest in the beautiful. The Self-awareness I-Ching bio rhythm encompasses a 48-day cycle which influences confidence and self-awareness. The Spiritual I-Ching bio rhythm encompasses a 53-day cycle which influences inner stability and attitude.

What is Bio Rhythm and where does it come from?
Our bio rhythm starts with the day of our birth and is repeated in a specific day-turnus in an up-and-down curve until our death. The upper half (above zero level) is the active phase; the one below zero is the passive phase. I have put those two phases in two different colours to make it easier for viewing. The focus should indeed lie on active and passive since it is not good and bad two halves. The day of changing the phase, where the rhythm changes from active to passive and vice versa are the critical days where the abilities associated with the curves are unstable and where one should be very careful. Accidents occour on those days. They are also not good days to do examns, sign contracts and the likes. The typical three main curves are the physical cycle (red), the emotional cycle (green) and the intellectual cycle (blue).

The first who found out about the bio rhythm was the scientist Wilhelm Fliess at Berlin in the 19th century. Dr. Fliess developed two major bio rhythm theories. The first says that nature bestows on man (the so called internal master clock) which starts at the time of our birth continuing throughout life. The second says that one of those internal clocks, the physical is a 23-day cycle and another, the emotional internal clock is a 28-day cycle. Yet the bio rhythm is nothing new. The East has been knowing bio rhythms for over 3,000 years. The famous "Book of Changes" was written on the basis of bio rhythms.

You find these kind of cycles all over nature; lunar cycles, winter-summer seasons and day-night changing etc. The bio rhythms are more of a personal nature which determines a person's life.

Today the bio rhythm theory is used to explain the reasons of being in a good or bad state / mood when no apparent cause can be seen. The theory can be used to get the best out of education, business, sport and to prevent accidents, have a control over the state of health and even predict people's compatibility.

Jensen in Australia: Fans Questions Answered: Transcript and Caps

Feb. 18th, 2008 01:38 pm
stir_of_echoes
I’ve been screencapping Jensen’s Australia appearances and doing transcripts because dude, it's Jensen

Transcripts especially for chuzz, and anyone else who wants it.



Transcript

Deanlove: What have you been up to while you have been in Australia and have you had any interesting experiences so far?

It’s just a bit of a vacation you know? What I got here about a week ago and I went and checked out all the regular sites. The zoo, the aquarium, the beach, hung out at Watson’s bay, ate some fish and chips.

It’s not too often, I mean this writer’s strike has kind of given us a bit of time here, a bit of freedom to kind of enjoy ourselves so the fact that this junket came up was a nice opportunity for me to come and spend a couple of days lounging on the beach. So that’s exactly what I did.

Have you been out here before?

I’ve been to Melbourne before but I’ve never been to Sydney. I’m enjoying it, yeah.

Jensen how did you get that scar on your chin?

Scar on my chin…

Yeah, do you even have a scar?

I don’t even have a scar on my chin.

Yeah, well there you go.

Yeah but thanks for noticing. You must have me confused with Harrison Ford, it happens all the time.

What’s the weirdest thing someone has even asked you to sign?

Well the obvious answer is boob.

But aside from that, let’s see. I’ve had casts, what else have I had?

I did sign the top of someone’s foot and I’m not quite sure why I did it other than the fact that it was the most interesting thing… she just came up, sat her foot on the chair and said,

“Please sign my foot.”

And I said,

“No. Wait… yes.”

There ya go.

Mr Ackles would like to know… (cringes)

Oh, this is from my mom?

Fanastic.

“Hi, mom.”

Would like to know, do you have a different appreciation of Mullet Rock now? Because of your characters love of it.

Always had an appreciation for Classic Rock. So it was kind of a no-brainer when the character had an appreciation for Classic Rock. It was like,

“Perfect, I don’t have to listen to something I’m not familiar with.”

So that was nice. I didn’t have to do any research I was already a Classic Rock fan so…

Smallville79 wants to know…

Well let me get into my Tom Welling…

(Jensen’s Tom Welling)






Smallville79 would like to know, being a man who likes his sport, have you seen the game of Aussie Rules yet?

I have. I have, in fact when I was here a few years ago I was down in Melbourne during the Grand Final and, Aussie Rules Football right?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, during the Grand Final and it was just insane. I mean, it’s like the Superbowl in America so I had a great time. I was in some little pub with a bunch of Aussies just going nuts. I don’t even remember which team I was rooting for but it was just fun to be a part of it.

I actually went out and bought one of the footballs and brought it home.

Oh, really?

There ya go. Yeah!

Screencaps because, “Hello gorgeous!”












And for those playing "spot the tongue"

Fireball in Texas sky was meteor, FAA says wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth

Uploaded by TruthTVUnitedKingdom on 2 Feb 2012


WFAA received more than 200 reports Wednesday night from people who said they saw what appeared to be a meteor streaking across the North Texas sky shortly after 8 o'clock.
Many people also said they heard what sounded like a sonic boom (or booms) associated with the fireball, which was apparently witnessed all the way from San Antonio to Oklahoma City.
The Federal Aviation Administration told TV station KWTX in Waco that it was a meteor.
A camera in Hawley, Texas that is designed to record the night sky shows a bright object briefly streaking across the image (watch the clip above).
Channel 8's Facebook page was filled with descriptions.
"VERY bright blue across the sky in Benbrook," said Stephanie Clingman Guyer. "It looked so close, long tail — very cool!"
"We saw it in far West McKinney," Kathy Stulting Escobedo wrote. "Seemed very low (I thought it was a low flying plane). Of course, it may have been very high and very large. It was gold with a trail of sparkling, dripping fire. Wasn't moving as fast as most meteors I've seen. It moved from east to west and then seemed to burn out. Shortly after that, we heard a double boom (reminded me of the sonic booms we heard as kids in the 60s). Was pretty incredible!"
In Carrollton, James Gates said he "heard a light boom and my house lightly shook... then I heard dogs barking."
Dawn Caddell Delarosa was out sitting on her porch about 15 miles west of Denton. "It was HUGE. It was very low," she wrote. "It came from the Southwest, went in front of our house. Both my husband and I yelled, 'OMG, it is going to hit that plane?' It looked like it got east of Denton when it exploded/broke apart. We could see all the little 'embers' blasting southeastward. Those poor people in the plane. I bet they thought it was the end of their life."
Colleen Walker checked in from Wise County. "We were driving on Highway 380 in Bridgeport and thought it first it was a helicopter flying low until it started glowing orange and started flaming as it dropped out if the sky!" she said.
A number of witnesses described it as "beautiful."

I saw a streak in the sky over Wymondhm, Norfolk, England on the 31st January 2012. I was on my way to work and saw a long silvery streak headed in a North Easterly direction at around 22:45 GMT. So a totally different time to the USA sighting, but still it was largest I have ever seen. The tail had taken some time to dissipate after the object crossed the sky compared to what I'm used to seeing, it was also a lot thicker than normal size shooting stars I have seen.

Saw him a few months ago shopping in Vancouver, BC. It's amazing what make-up/photoshop can do to a guys looks

thee1
What, did he have a few pimples or bags under the eyes or something?

Justinx00x
He just looked older, didnt have that smooth skin that pics and whatnot make him appear to have. He just looked rough, not terrible, could still tell it was him, just not as nice as on TV

Полезная информация, которая спасёт кому-то жизнь
Во время пикника девушка споткнулась и упала. Ей предложили вызвать "скорую помощь", но она заверила всех, что всё в порядке, и что она споткнулась о камень всего лишь из-за новых туфель.
Так как она выглядела немного бледной и дрожащей, ей помогли отряхнуться и принесли ей тарелку с едой. Остаток дня Инга провела спокойно и непринуждённо. Позже супруг той девушки позвонил всем и сообщил, что его жену увезли в больницу. В 23:00 она скончалась. На пикнике с ней случился инсульт (острое нарушение мозгового кровообращения).

Если бы её друзья знали, как выглядят признаки инсульта, она могла бы сегодня жить.

Некоторые люди умирают не сразу. Часто они оказываются в ситуации, в которой им длительное время ещё можно помочь.

У вас займёт всего одну минуту прочесть следующее:

Нейрохирурги говорят, что если они в течение 3 часов успевают к жертве инсульта, то последствия приступа могут быть устранены. Трюк состоит в том, чтобы распознать и диагностицировать инсульт и приступить к лечению в первые 3 часа – что, конечно, не просто.

Распознай инсульт.

Существуют 4 шага к распознанию инсульта.

- попроси человека улыбнуться (он не сможет этого сделать)

- попроси сказать простое предложение (например: «Сегодня хорошая погода»)

- попроси поднять обе руки (не сможет или только частично сможет поднять)

- попроси высунуть язык (если язык искривлён, повёрнут – это тоже признак)

Если проблемы возникнут даже с одним из этих заданий – звони в неотложку и описывай симптомы по телефону.

Один кардиолог сказал, что, разослав это сообщение как минимум 10 адресатам, можно быть уверенным, что чья-нибудь жизнь – может быть и наша – будет спасена. Мы шлём каждый день столько «мусора» по свету, что может стоит разок пустить по проводам действительно что-то полезное и нужное.
