Shayari / Bas Itni Si Inaayat Mujh Pe Aik Baar Kijiye
« on: July 20, 2012, 09:45:28 AM »
Bas Itni Si Inaayat Mujh Pe Aik Baar Kijiye
Kabhi Aa Ke Mere Zakhmon Ka Dedaar Kijiye
Ho Jaaiye Begaane Aap Shauq Se Sanam
Aapki Hoon Aapki Rahungi Aitbaar Kijiye
Parhne Waale Hi Darr Jaayen Dekh Kar Isey
Kitaab-E-Dil Ko Itna Naa Daaghdar Kijiye
Naa Majboor Kijiye, Ke Main Unko Bhool Jaaon
Mujhe Meri Wafaaon Ka Na Gunehgar Kijiye
In Jalte Diyon Ko Dekh Kar Naa Muskuraiye
Zara Hawaaon Ke Chalne Ka Intezaar Kijiye
Karna Hai Ishq Aapse Karte Rahenge Hum
Jo Bhi Karna Hai Aapko Mere Sarkaar , Kijiye
Phir Sapnon Ka Ashiyan Bana Liya Hai Maine
Phir Aandhiyon Ko Aap khabardar Kijiye
Hamen Naa Dikhaiye Ye Daulat Yeh Shohrat
Hum Pyaar Ke Bhokhe Hain Hamen Pyaar Kijiye

60 Tiny Love Stories to Make You Smile
Here’s a selection of 60 tiny love stories that will warm your hearts and make you smile. 
by Makes Me Think
  • Today, my 75-year-old grandpa who has been blind from cataracts for almost 15 years said to me, “Your grandma is just the most beautiful thing, isn’t she?” I paused for a second and said, “Yes she is. I bet you miss seeing that beauty on a daily basis.” “Sweety,” my grandpa said, “I still see her beauty every day. In fact, I see it more now than I used to when we were young.” MMT
  • Today, I walked my daughter down the aisle. Ten years ago I pulled a 14 year old boy out of his mom’s fire-engulfed SUV after a serious accident. Doctors initially said he would never walk again. My daughter came with me several times to visit him at the hospital. Then she started going on her own. Today, seeing him defy the odds and smile widely, standing on his own two feet at the altar as he placed a ring on my daughter’s finger MMT.
  • Today, I walked up to the door of my office (I’m a florist) at 7AM to find a uniformed Army soldier standing out front waiting. He was on his way to the airport to go to Afghanistan for a year. He said, “I usually bring home a bouquet of flowers for my wife every Friday and I don’t want to let her down when I’m away.” He then placed an order for 52 Friday afternoon deliveries of flowers to his wife’s office and asked me to schedule one for each week until he returns. I gave him a 50% discount because it made my day to see something so sweet. MMT
  • Today, I told my 18 year old grandson that nobody asked me to prom when I was in high school, so I didn’t attend. He showed up at my house this evening dressed in a tuxedo and took me as his date to his prom. MMT
  • Today, when she woke up from an eleven month coma, she kissed me and said, “Thank you for being here, and telling me those beautiful stories, and never giving up on me… And yes, I will marry you.” MMT
  • Today, I was sitting on a park bench eating a sandwich for lunch when an elderly couple pulled their car up under a nearby oak tree. They rolled down the windows and turned up some jazz music on the radio. Then the man got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door for the woman, took her hand and helped her out of her seat, guided her about ten feet away from the car, and they slow danced for the next half hour under the oak tree. MMT
  • Today, I operated on a little girl. She needed O- blood. We didn’t have any, but her twin brother has O- blood. I explained to him that it was a matter of life and death. He sat quietly for a moment, and then said goodbye to his parents. I didn’t think anything of it until after we took his blood and he asked, “So when will I die?” He thought he was giving his life for hers. Thankfully, they’ll both be fine. MMT
  • Today, my dad is the best dad I could ask for. He’s a loving husband to my mom (always making her laugh), he’s been to every one of my soccer games since I was 5 (I’m 17 now), and he provides for our family as a construction foreman. This morning when I was searching through my dad’s toolbox for a pliers, I found a dirty folded up paper at the bottom. It was an old journal entry in my dad’s handwriting dated exactly one month before the day I was born. It reads, “I am eighteen years old, an alcoholic who is failing out of college, a past cutter, and a child abuse victim with a criminal record of auto theft. And next month, ‘teen father’ will be added to the list. But I swear I will make things right for my little girl. I will be the dad I never had.” And I don’t know how he did it, but he did it. MMT
  • Today, my 8-year-old son hugged me and said, “You are the best mom in the whole entire world!” I smiled and sarcastically replied, “How do you know that? You haven’t met every mom in the whole entire world.” My son squeezed me tighter and said, “Yes I have. You are my world.” MMT
  • Today, I have an elderly patient who is suffering from a severe case of Alzheimer’s. He can rarely remember his own name, and he often forgets where he is and what he said just a few minutes beforehand. But by the stretch of some miracle (perhaps the miracle of love), he remembers who is wife is every morning when she shows up to spend a few hours with him. He usually greets her by saying, “Hello my beautiful Kate.” MMT
  • Today, my 21 year old Labrador can barely stand up, can’t see, can’t hear, and doesn’t have enough strength to bark. But it doesn’t stop her from wagging her tail a mile a minute every single time I walk into the room. MMT
  • Today is our 10th anniversary, but since my husband and I are both recently unemployed we agreed not to get each other any gifts. When I woke up this morning, my husband was already up. I walked downstairs to find beautiful wild flowers brilliantly arranged all over the house. There must be 400 flowers total and he didn’t spend a dime. MMT
  • Today, my high school boyfriend, who I thought I’d never see again, showed me the pictures of the two of us he kept in his Army helmet while he was overseas for the last 8 years. MMT
  • Today, my 88-year-old grandmother and her 17 year old cat are both blind. My grandmother’s guide dog leads my grandmother around the house, which is normal. But lately, he’s been guiding her cat around the house too. When her cat meows, he walks up and rubs against her, and then she follows directly behind him to her food, to the litter box, to the other end of the house for a nap, etc. MMT
  • Today, I watched in horror through the kitchen window as my 2-year-old slipped and fell head first into the pool. But before I could get to her, our Labrador Retriever, Rex, jumped in after her, grabbed her by her shirt collar and pulled her to the shallow steps where she could stand. MMT
  • Today, my older brother has donated bone marrow 16 times to help treat my cancer. He communicates directly with my doctor and does it without me even asking or knowing when he has an appointment. And today my doctor informed me that the treatment appears to be working. “Cancer cells have been drastically reduced in the last few months.” MMT
  • Today, I was driving home with my grandfather when he suddenly made a u-turn and said, “I forgot to get your grandmother a bouquet of flowers. I’ll pick up one from the florist at the corner down here. It’ll only take a second.” “What’s so special about today that you have to buy her flowers?” I asked. “There’s nothing specifically special about today,” my grandfather said. “Every day is special. Your grandmother loves flowers. They put a smile on her face.” MMT
  • Today, I re-read the suicide letter I wrote on the afternoon of September 2nd 1996 about two minutes before my girlfriend showed up at my door and told me, “I’m pregnant.” Suddenly I felt I had a reason to live. Today she’s my wife. We’ve been happily married for 14 years. And my daughter, who is almost 15 now, has two younger brothers. I re-read my suicide letter from time to time as a reminder to be thankful – I am thankful I got a second chance at life and love. MMT
  • Today, and every day for the last two months since I returned to school with burn scars on my face after being hospitalized for nearly a month for injuries I sustained in a house fire, a red rose was taped to my locker when I got to school in the morning. I have no clue who is getting to school early and leaving me these roses. I’ve even arrived early myself a few times to try to figure it out, but each time the rose was already there. MMT
  • Today was the 10 year anniversary of my dad’s passing. When I was a kid he used to hum a short melody to me as I was going to sleep. When I was 18, as he rested in his hospital bed fighting cancer, the roles were reversed and I hummed the melody to him. I haven’t heard that melody since, until last night. My fiancé and I were turned on our sides looking at each other in bed when he started humming it to me. His mom used to hum it to him when he was a kid. MMT
  • Today, a woman who must have her voicebox removed due to cancer is enrolled in my sign language class. Her husband, four children, two sisters, brother, mother, father, and twelve close friends are also enrolled in the same class so they can communicate with her after she loses her ability to speak aloud. MMT
  • Today, my 11-year-old son speaks fluent sign language because his best friend, Josh, who he grew up with from the time he was an infant, is deaf. Seeing their genuine friendship evolve and grow over the years MMT.
  • Today, due to Alzheimer’s and dementia, my grandfather usually can’t remember who my grandmother is when he wakes up in the morning. It bothered my grandmother a year ago when it first happened, but now she’s fully supportive of his condition. In fact, she plays a game every day in which she tries to get my grandfather to ask her to re-marry him before dinnertime. She hasn’t failed yet. MMT
  • Today, my dad passed away from natural causes at the age of 92. I found his body resting peacefully in the recliner in his bedroom. In his lap, facing upright, were three framed 8×10 photographs of my mom who passed away about 10 years ago. She was the love of his life, and apparently the last thing he wanted to see before he passed. MMT
  • Today, I am the proud mom of a blind 17-year-old boy. Although my son was born without his sense of sight, it hasn’t stopped him from being a straight A student, a guitarist (whose band just surpassed 25,000 downloads of their first album), and a loving boyfriend to his long-term girlfriend, Valerie. Just today, his younger sister asked him what he likes about Valerie, and he said, “Everything. She’s beautiful.” MMT
  • Today, I waited on an elderly couple. The way they looked at each other… you could see they were in love. When the husband mentioned that they were celebrating their anniversary, I smiled and said, “Let me guess. You two have been together forever.” They laughed and the wife said, “Actually, no, today is our 5 year anniversary. We both outlived our spouses and then life blessed us with one more shot at love.” MMT
  • Today, my father found my little sister alive, chained up in a barn. She was abducted near Mexico City almost 5 months ago. Authorities stopped actively searching for her a few weeks later. My mom and I laid her soul to rest. We had a funeral for her last month. All of our family and friends attended the ceremony except my father. Instead he kept looking for her. He said he “loved her too much to give up.” And she’s back home now because he never did. MMT
  • Today, there are two senior boys at my school who have an openly gay relationship. They have experienced verbal humiliation on a daily basis for the last two years, yet they continue to hold each other’s hand in the hallways. Despite threats and vandalized lockers, they showed up to prom this evening wearing matching tuxedos. Seeing them on the dance floor, smiling from ear to ear in spite of all the haters MMT.
  • Today, my sister and I were in a bad car accident. My sister is Mrs. Popular at school – she knows everyone. I’m a bit of an introvert – I hang-out with the same 2 girls all the time. My sister immediately posted a comment on Facebook about our accident. And while all her friends were commenting, my 2 friends showed up independently at the scene of the accident before the paramedics arrived. MMT
  • Today, my fiancé returned home from his last tour of duty overseas. Yesterday he was just my boyfriend, or so I thought. Almost a year ago, he mailed me a package. He told me I wasn’t allowed to open it until he got home in two weeks. But then his tour got extended for another 11 months. Today, when he got home, he told me to open the package, and just as I pulled the ring out of the box, he got down on one knee. MMT
  • Today, my 12-year-old son, Sean, and I stopped by the nursing home together for the first time in several months. Usually I come alone see my mother who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s. When we walked into the lobby, the nurse said, “Hi, Sean!” and then buzzed us in. “How does she know your name?” I asked. “Oh, I swing by here on my walk home from school all the time to say hi to Grandma,” Sean said. I had no idea. MMT
  • Today, I found an old hand written note my mom wrote when she was a senior in high school. On it is a list of qualities she hoped she would someday find in a boyfriend. The list is basically an exact description of my dad, who she didn’t meet until she was 27. MMT
  • Today, I’ve been chemistry lab partners with one of the most beautiful (and popular) girls at our school since the beginning of the school year. And although I never would have had the courage to talk to her otherwise, she’s totally down to earth and sweet. We spend our time in the lab chatting, laughing, and getting A’s (she’s smart too), and just recently we started talking a little bit outside of class too. Last week when I heard that she didn’t have a date to our homecoming dance, I desperately wanted to ask her, but chickened out every time I was about to. Then this afternoon, at lunchtime, she ran up to me and formally asked me to ask her to the dance. So I did, and she kissed me on the cheek and said, “Yes!” MMT
  • Today, on our 10th anniversary, she handed me a suicide note she wrote when she was 22, on the exact day we met. And she said, “For all these years I didn’t want you to know how foolish and unstable I was back when we met. But even though you didn’t know, you saved me. Thank you.” MMT
  • Today, my grandpa keeps and old, candid photo on his nightstand of my grandma and him laughing together at some party in the 1960’s. My grandma passed away from cancer in 1999 when I was 7. This evening when I was at his house, my grandpa caught me staring at the photo. He walked up, hugged me from behind and said, “Remember, just because something doesn’t last forever, doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth your while.” MMT
  • Today, I sat down with my two daughters, ages 4 and 6, to explain to them that we have to move out of our 4 bedroom house and into a 2 bedroom apartment for awhile until I can find another job that pays well. My daughters looked at each other for a moment and then my youngest daughter turned to me and asked, “Are we all moving into the apartment together?” “Yes,” I replied. “Oh, so no big deal then,” she said. MMT
  • Today, I met the prettiest woman on a plane. Assuming I wouldn’t see her again after we made our connections, I told her how pretty I thought she was. She gave me the most sincere smile and said, “Nobody has said that to me in 10 years.” It turns out we’re both in our mid-30’s, never married, no kids, and we live about 5 miles away from each other. We have a date set for next Saturday after we return home. MMT
  • Today, I’m a mother of 2 and a grandmother of 4. At 17 I got pregnant with twins. When my boyfriend and friends found out I wasn’t going to abort them, they turned a cold shoulder to me. But I pressed forward, worked full-time while attending school, graduated high school and college, and met a guy in one of my classes who has loved my children like his own for the last 50 years. MMT
  • Today, on my 29th birthday, I returned home from my 4th and final tour of duty overseas. The little girl who lives next door to my parents (who isn’t so little any more - she’s 22 now) met me at the airport with a long stemmed rose, a bottle of my favorite vodka, and then asked me out on a date. MMT
  • Today, my daughter accepted her boyfriend’s marriage proposal. He is 3 years older than her. They started dating when she was 14 and he was 17. I never liked the age difference when they were kids. When he turned 18 a week before she turned 15, my husband insisted they break-up. They maintained a friendship, but went on to date other people. Now at the ages of 24 and 27, I’ve never seen two people more in love. MMT
  • Today, after I heard that my mom stayed home from work with the flu, I stopped by Wal-Mart on my way home from school to pick her up some canned soup. I ran into my dad who was already in the check-out line. He had 5 cans of soup, NyQuil, tissues, tampons, 4 romantic comedy DVDs and a bouquet of flowers. My dad makes me smile and MMT.
  • Today, I was sitting on a hotel balcony watching 2 lovers in the distance walk along the beach. From their body language, I could tell they were laughing and enjoying each other’s company. As they got closer, I realized they were my parents. My parents almost got divorced 8 years ago. MMT
  • Today, I’m only 17, but I’ve been with my boyfriend, Jake, for 3 years, and last night was the first time we spent the night together. We’ve never ‘done it,’ and we didn’t last night either. Instead, we baked cookies, watched two comedies, laughed, played Xbox and fell asleep in each other’s arms. Despite the warnings from my parents, he’s been nothing but a gentleman and a best friend. MMT
  • Today, when I tapped the side of my wheelchair and told my husband, “You’re the only reason I want to be free from this contraption,” he kissed me on my forehead and said, “Honey, I don’t even see that thing.” MMT
  • Today, my grandmother and grandfather, who were both in their early 90’s and married for 72 years, both died of natural causes approximately one hour apart from each other. MMT
  • Today, my dad came to see me for the first time in 6 months since I told him I’m gay. When I opened the door he had tears in his eyes and he immediately gave me a huge hug and said, “I’m sorry, Jason. I love you.” MMT
  • Today, my autistic little sister spoke her first word at the age of 6 – my name. MMT
  • Today, at the age of 72, nearly 15 years after my grandfather passed away, my grandmother remarried. And since I’m only 17, I’ve never seen her so happy in all my life. It’s inspiring to see two people so in love at their age. MMT it’s never too late.
  • Today, at a jazz club in San Francisco I saw a man and woman enjoying a drink together.  The woman was a dwarf and the man must have been 6 feet tall.  Later in the evening they went out onto the dance floor.  The man got down on his knees so they could slow dance together.  They danced the rest of the night. MMT
  • Today, as I was sleeping, I woke up to my daughter calling my name. I was sleeping in a sofa chair in her hospital room. I opened my eyes to her beautiful smile. My daughter has been in a coma for 98 days. MMT
  • Today, exactly 10 years ago almost to the minute, I stopped at an intersection and a car rear ended me. The driver was a student at UF, just like me. He was cordial and apologetic. As we waited for the cops and the tow truck we chatted and started laughing together about all sorts of stuff. We exchanged numbers and the rest is history. We just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. MMT
  • Today, I was working in a coffee shop when 2 gay men walked in holding hands.  As you might expect, heads started turning.  Then a young girl at the table next to me asked her mom why 2 men were holding hands.  Her mom replied, “Because they love each other.” MMT
  • Today, after 2 years of separation, my ex-wife and I resolved our differences and met for dinner.  We laughed and chatted for almost 4 hours.  Then just before she left, she handed me a large envelope.  In it were 20 love letters she wrote me over the last 2 years.  There was a post-it note on the envelope that said, “Letters I was too stubborn to send.” MMT
  • Today, I was in an accident that left me with a gash on my forehead.  The doctors wrapped a bandage around my head and said I have to keep it on all week.  I hate wearing it.  Two minutes ago my little brother walked into my room wearing a bandage on his head.  My mom said he insisted that he didn’t want me to feel alone. MMT
  • Today, my mother passed away after a long battle with cancer.  My best friend lives 2000 miles away and called to comfort me.  While on the phone, he asked, “What would you do if I showed up at your house and gave you the biggest hug in the world?”  “I would surely smile,” I replied.  And then he rang my doorbell. MMT
  • Today, as my 91-year-old grandfather (a military doctor, war hero, and successful business owner) rested in his hospital bed, I asked him what his greatest life accomplishment was.  He turned around, grabbed my grandmother’s hand, looked her in the eyes, and said, “Growing old with you.” MMT
  • Today, as I watched my 75-year-old grandmother and grandfather being silly with each other and laughing in the kitchen, I felt like I got a short glimpse of what true love feels like.  I hope I find it someday. MMT
  • Today, exactly twenty years ago to the hour, I risked my life to save a woman who was drowning in the rapids of the Colorado River.  And that’s how I met my wife - the love of my life.  MMT
  • Today, on our 50th wedding anniversary, she smiled at me and said, “I only wish I had met you sooner.” MMT
  • Today, my blind friend explained to me in vivid detail how beautiful his new girlfriend is. MMT

News Khabran / Faceless freedom: YouTube adds face-blurring tool
« on: July 19, 2012, 10:37:06 AM »
 
  When the video was already blurry, YouTube's new "Blur All Faces" tool overcompensated quite a bit.            YouTube announced on its blog today that it has added a new tool allowing users to blur out the faces in an uploaded video. The site wants to give anonymity to users that might fear reprisal by public viewers. "Whether you want to share sensitive protest footage without exposing the faces of the activists involved, or share the winning point in your 8-year-old’s basketball game without broadcasting the children’s faces to the world, our face blurring technology is a first step towards providing visual anonymity for video on YouTube," the site's post announced.
 
 
After you upload the original video, YouTube's Video Enhancements tool will lead you to "Additional features." Here you can click apply under "Blur All Faces." Checking "Delete original video" will then trash your copy of the video with exposed faces.
 
 
Currently, YouTube warns the technology is imperfect, and may leave some faces un-blurred. But you can view the video before you post it. If the tool did not catch all faces, you can choose to keep the video private. Also, the tool can only blur out all faces in a video, so you can't single out faces for blurring, and leave the identities of others exposed to the world. Jessica Mason, a spokesperson for YouTube, wrote to Ars in an e-mail that the company was working on improving the technology and creating new features in the future.
 
 
The technology may be imperfect on YouTube's site, but the pieces that make up the technology are hardly new. "We use an algorithm that scans a video and detects facial features like eyes. From there it blurs the detected faces by adding things like noise and pixelation to the detected features," Mason wrote. Facebook has been using facial recognition technology in its photos since last year, and offline video editors have been able to blur faces for much, much longer than that.
 
 
But better late than never. Considering YouTube's importance in disseminating citizen journalism, the feature will likely be useful to people with kids, or anyone who wants to stay under the radar while still making certain actions public. Of course, YouTube's Community Guidelines "prohibit illegal content or material that incites violence," so you still won't be seeing tours of anyone's 2,000 sq ft meth lab anytime soon.
 
 
Mason told Ars that YouTube began to "seriously discuss and pursue" the feature at the 2011 Silicon Valley Human Rights Conference. She also credited activists and human rights organizations, specifically the 2011 Witness Cameras Everywhere report, for pushing for this kind of feature.
 
 
In a quick test of the feature, we found that YouTube is right—the blur tool does work imperfectly, but it's better than nothing. Applying the blur effect went very quickly on an 18 second clip, although obviously the longer your video is, the longer you'll be waiting for the edit to resolve (ultimately it will depend on your Internet connection, though).
 
 
Before using the tool, my clip had a few moments where the camera was shaky. When the image was particularly poor, but YouTube's algorithm still detected a face, the blur tool would blur out large swaths of the image, in a hilarious (or frustrating) case of over-correction. And when only half of a face was visible, the blur tool wouldn't work at all. For some it may be better to obscure more of the image than less, but if you're marching in a demonstration or jogging down the touchlines of your kid's soccer game, be aware that using YouTube's tool on irreparably shaky video might negate the whole purpose of videotaping the event.
 
 
Still, for fast and free anonymity, YouTube's new feature is incredibly easy, and will certainly go a long way toward hiding identities in a world of seemingly ubiquitous cameras.
 
 
Update: YouTube's Jessica Mason responded to our inquiry into how possible or easy it is to undo the blur effect on their videos. Regarding unblurring, "We can't say it's impossible to unblur, but we have made it incredibly difficult," Mason told Ars in an e-mail late Wednesday evening. "We feel we've made it so difficult that it's not worth the immense effort required to try." In addition, Mason noted that after the original video is deleted, the unblurred version is completely gone from Google's servers "very quickly."

Pics / Some pics and thoughts
« on: July 17, 2012, 10:55:28 AM »
 Not as it seems  Nowadays there are too many times where we pull something out of the box and it looks completely different that in the picture on the box itself. Well this is a picture of another of those cases. In it there is a frozen pepperoni pizza and you know there should be pepperoni on all of the pizza but instead it is just on one side. I sure as hell would be disappointed to get this kind of product when they have promised me the perfect pizza like on the box. :break:
 Not as it seems Not as it seems    Plane jokes  Here is a funny picture of an airplane with two pilots. The one in front probably don’t even have an idea what his co pilot thinks.. well now he does because of the sign “I’m with stupid.” But could the first pilot really be that stupid if he gets to fly that plane? :pagel:
 Plane jokes Plane jokes     Warning  This is a picture of a very helpful and kind man who is warning the drivers that there is police ahead with a sign “Cops ahead”. I am sure that many drivers were thankful for this warning because lets face it no one likes to be stopped by the cops even if they haven’t done nothing still its unpleasant.
 Warning Warning         Weather forecasting stone  Here is a picture of a stone that can  forecast the weather. You just have to look at it and everything will be clear. For example if it’s wet then it’s raining or if there’s a shadow on the ground then it’s sunny. As simple as that. Brilliant right? :loll:
Weather forecasting stone
     Silence  Here are pictures of the quietest room in the world. It is located in Orfield Laboratories, south Minnesota, US . It blocks about 99.9 % of sound that comes from the outside.  Guinness records is named this room the quietest room in the world. Fun fact: No one has ever lasted longer that 45 minutes in this room. Cool right?
  Silence Silence   
  Road closed  Here is a picture of a sign. It says that the road is closed due to flooding.. and something else probably, but we can’t see that because guess what.. it’s partly under water.. Whoa guess the sign really was right. Flooding it is.
 Road closed Road closed    Island?  Here is an interesting picture of an island made out of tennis ball. If you look closely like it is in the first part of the picture it truly looks like island with people on it.. but in the reality it is just a tennis ball with palm tree in a puddle. But looks kind of cool right?
 Island? Island?    Beer bottle chandelier  Here is a cool picture of  a chandelier. It is made out of glass beer bottles so not only it is good for the environment but looks very good too, don’t you think? Very creative and original idea!
 Beer bottle chandelier Beer bottle chandelier        Three lightning bolts  Have you ever seen multiple lightnings strike an area of few hundered feet simultaneously? And have you ever captured a lightning with your camera? Someone has done both of those things and  managed to photograph three massive lightning  bolts hitting ground at once. I can imagine the sound that those massive thunderbolts made and it could be terrifying.

    Massive hairstyle FAIL  What the hell is this guy thinking? How can you make a hairstyle like this? I suppose he doesn’t know what his hair looks like from behind and it is a prank or it may be just a lost bet but that looks so ugly! Imagine what is going on in your mind when you decide : HMM today I’m going to cut my hair , I’m going to do the ugliest hairstyle ever and i will feel like a douche-bag!

    Rabbits eating cannabis  These cute rabbits are tasting weed and they seem to like it. They look so adorable and you can tell that they are enjoying the taste of those weed leafs. As you may know cannabis leafs are not psychoactive and you can’t get high from eating them so these rabbits are just loving the taste of them not getting high!

     This is Sparta  Who doesn’t know the film “300″ and how Gerard Butler or more like his character Kind Leonidas yells “This is Sparta..”. Well here is a fun thought. Name your child “Sparta” and then every time you introduce him you will get the chance  to shout “This is Spartaaaa”. Wouldn’t that be fun?
 Sparta Sparta    Press F1  This is a picture of a ridiculous PC error. It says that a keyboard is not found so you need to press F1 to continue or DEL to enter Setup. But, dude, there is no keyboard. How can you press something without a keyboard?

Before the clock strikes twelve let me take the opportunity to let you know that you have grown a year more.


Sure, you may not like the present I got you,
but I want to remind you how special you are...
Its a nice feeling when you know
that someone likes you,
someone thinks about you,
someone needs you;
but it feels much better when
you know that someone
never ever forgets your birthday.


 
On your birthday,
I would like to give you
Some words of wisdom
.

Smile while you still have teeth.
Many many happy returns of the day
Today and always.
I love you. :hug:

  • A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms: The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
 
 
  • A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?  
  • A magician was boasting one day at how long he could hold his breath under water. His record was 6 minutes. A kid that was listening said, "that's nothing, I can stay under water for 10 minutes using no type of equipment or air pockets!" The magician told the kid if he could do that, he'd give him $10,000. The kid did it and won the money. Can you figure out how?
 
 
  • There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?
 
 
  • What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and grey when you throw it away?
 
 
  • Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?
 
 
  • This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so plain you would think nothing was wrong with it! In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out! Try to do so without any coaching!

Fun Time / Worse Way to Die.
« on: April 20, 2012, 02:52:03 PM »
 
 
One says "Did your hear the news - Mike is dead!"
 

"Wooo, what the hell happened to him?"
 
"Well he was on his way over to my house the other day and when he arrived outside the house he didn't brake properly and boom - He hit the pavement and the car flips up and he crashed through the sunroof - Went flying through the air and smashed through my upstairs bedroom window."
 
"What a horrible way to die!"
 
"No no, he survived that, that didn't kill him at all. So, he's landed in my upstairs bedroom and he's all covered in broken glass on the floor. Then, he spots the big old antique wardrobe we have in the room and reaches up for the handle to try to pull himself up. He's just dragging himself up when bang, this massive wardrobe comes crashing down on top of him, crushing him and breaking most of his bones."
 
"What a way to go, that's terrible!"
 
"No no, that didn't kill him he survived that. He managed to get the wardrobe off him and crawls out onto the landing, he tries to pull himself up on the banister but under his weight, the banister breaks and he goes falling down on to the first floor. In mid air, all the broken banister poles spin and fall on him, pinning him to the floor, sticking right through him."
"Now that is the most unfortunate way to go!"
 
"No no, that didn't kill him, he even survived that. So he's on the downstairs landing, just beside the kitchen. He crawls in to the kitchen, tries to pull himself up on the cooker, but reached for a big pot of boiling hot water, whoosh, the whole thing came down on him and burned most of his skin off him."
 
"Man, what a way to go!"
 
"No no, he survived that, he survived that ! He's lying on the ground, covered in boiling water and he spots the phone and tries to pull himself up, to call for help, but instead he grabs the light switch and pulls the whole thing off the wall and the water and electricity didn't mix and so he got electrocuted, wallop, 10,000 volts shot through him."
 
"Now that is one awful way to go!"
 
"No no, he survived that, he ..."
 
"Hold on now, just how the hell did he die?"
 
"I shot him!"
 
"You shot him? What the hell did you shoot him for?"
 
"He was wrecking my ****** house."

Fun Time / Excuses for Speeding
« on: April 20, 2012, 02:30:02 PM »
 

Story 1 A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:
 
Officer: May I see your driver's license?
Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI. 
Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?
Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.
Officer: The car is stolen?
Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.
Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?
Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.
Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?
Driver: Yes, sir.
 
Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:
 
Captain: Sir, can I see your license?
Driver: Sure. Here it is.
 
It was valid.
 
Captain: Who's car is this?
Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the owner's card.
The driver owned the car.
Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?
Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.
Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.
Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.
Driver: No problem.
Trunk is opened; no body.
Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glovebox, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.
Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying s.o.b. told you I was speeding, too!

 
Story 2 This Middle aged man was going through his mid-life crisis so he went out and bought him a new bright red BMW. So he decided to take his new BMW on a test drive down the interstate one day.
 
He got up to about 85 mph and all of a sudden he saw this highway patrolman with his blue lights and siren blaring coming toward him. He decided he and his new BMW would outrun the officer. So the man sped up to 95 mph,and then to 105 mph, but the patrolman was still coming.
 
The man finally came to his senses and said to himself, "This is crazy, I could go to jail for this," so he pulled over.
The patrolman came to the car and told the man, "It has been a long day and I am tired. If you can give me an excuse no one else has ever given me I will let you go."
 
So the man told the officer, "Last night my wife ran off with a patrolman and when I seen you chasing me I thought you were trying to bring her back."
 
The officer looked at the man and said, "Have a nice day."

Knowledge / Oxidation.
« on: April 10, 2012, 08:01:06 PM »
 
A freshly-cut apple turns brown, a bicycle fender becomes rusty and a copperpenny suddenly turns green. What do all of these events have in common? They are all examples of a process called oxidation.

Oxidation is defined as the interaction between oxygen molecules and all the different substances they may contact, from metal to living tissue. Technically, however, with the discovery of electrons, oxidation came to be more precisely defined as the loss of at least one electron when two or more substances interact. Those substances may or may not include oxygen. (Incidentally, the opposite of oxidation is reduction — the addition of at least one electron when substances come into contact with each other.) Sometimes oxidation is not such a bad thing, as in the formation of super-durable anodized aluminum. Other times, oxidation can be destructive, such as the rusting of an automobile or the spoiling of fresh fruit.
 
When it involves oxygen, the process of oxidation depends on the amount of oxygen present in the air and the nature of the material it touches. True oxidation happens on a molecular level — we only see the large-scale effects as the oxygen causes free radicals on the surface to break away. In the case of fresh fruit, the skin usually provides a barrier against oxidation. This is why most fruits and vegetables arrive in good condition at the grocery store. Once the skin has been broken, however, the individual cells come in direct contact with air and the oxygen molecules start burning them. The result is a form of rust we see as brownish spots or blemishes.
 

Oxidation can also be a problem for car owners, since the outermost layers of paint are constantly exposed to air and water. If the car's outer finish is not protected by a wax coating or polyurethane, the oxygen molecules in the air will eventually start interacting with the paint. As the oxygen burns up the free radicals contained in the paint, the finish becomes duller and duller. Restoration efforts may include removing several layers of affected paint and reapplying a new layer of protectant. This is why professional car detailers recommend at least one layer of wax or other protectant be used every time the car is washed.
 

The secret of preventing oxidation caused by oxygen is to provide a layer of protection between the exposed material and the air. This could mean a wax or polyurethane coating on a car, a layer of paint on metal objects or a quick spray of an anti-oxidant, like lemon juice, on exposed fruit. Destructive oxidation cannot occur if the oxygen cannot penetrate a surface to reach the free radicals it craves.
 
This is why stainless steel doesn't rust and ordinary steel does. The stainless steel has a thin coating of another metal which does not contain free radicals. Regular steel may be painted for protection against oxidation, but oxygen can still exploit any opening, no matter how small. This is why you may find a painted metal bicycle still damaged by rust.

I was reading some of Nietsche's works and ran across the ultimate question...
 
What, if some day or night, a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: ‘This life, as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh… must return to you—all in the same succession and sequence—even this spider and this moonlight between the trees and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned over again and again—and you with it.' - Freiderick Nietzche, The Gay Science

 
So, the question in each and every thing, do you want this once more and innumerable times more?
 
How well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?
