If passed, this law will allow the government, under the command of the media companies, to censor the internet as they see fit, like China and Iran do, with the difference that the sites they decide to censor will be completely removed from the internet and not just in the US.

Τα κορυφαία αθλητικά παπούτσια των 90s - STYLE - ΚΕΙΜΕΝΑ Ήταν η μεγαλύτερη ψύχωση των περισσότερων πιτσιρικάδων στα μέσα των 90s. Tότε που οι 2 στους 3 15χρονους πίστευαν ότι θα γίνουν επαγγελματίες μπασκετμπολίστες και ο άλλος, ο τρίτος, προέβλεπε ότι θα αφήσει τελικά το μπάσκετ για να σπουδάσει. Όνειρα θερινής νυκτός και ανοιχτών γηπέδων μπάσκετ. Το νέο ζευγάρι αθλητικά (το "παπούτσια" ήταν πάντα περιττό) ήταν ο λόγος που πήγαινες σχολείο, που προσπαθούσες να πάρεις καλούς βαθμούς, που όριζε το status σου στα μονά που έπαιζες στη γειτονιά σου. Να σου πω και κάτι άλλο; Το παπούτσι που διάλεγες τότε και το οποίο δεν έβγαινε ούτε με τρία χειρουργεία από το πόδι σου (τι, δεν θα το έβαζες και στο σχολείο να το δουν τα κορίτσια;) έδειχνε και τι άνθρωπος είσαι. Η πλάκα ήταν με τους έμπορους, γονείς, φίλους που μόλις έβλεπαν τα καινούργια σου sneakers σε δασκάλευαν να μην παίξεις ποδόσφαιρο με αυτά και τα χαλάσεις. Το ΟΝΕΜΑΝ με υπερηφάνεια και υπευθυνότητα παρουσιάζει τα καλύτερα αθλητικά της ιστορίας: Τα all-time classic Τα Nike Air Max Uptempto

Johnnie Walker -- From the Future Auto Brewery Syndrome - An Overview From a DUI Lawyer Can alcohol be created by the human body itself — without any drinking? Apparently so. In an interesting scientific article, two physicians at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore reported that they detected the odor of beer in three of their patients. “The presence of alcohol in human specimens containing glucose and yeast should come as no surprise,” the two physicians wrote. In other words, the body is manufacturing alcohol by itself — in some cases, enough to become legally intoxicated for purposes of driving — i.e., DUI. “Increasing evidence has emerged to show that endogenous ethanol does exist, the the concentrations seen have large inter-individual variations. How many folks, with “immaculately conceived” alcohol in their systems, have been arrested and convicted of DUI? Wrong. Even if you’ve had nothing to drink. If you need to consult with a DUI defense attorney in Southern California, call The Law Offices of Lawrence Taylor at 888-777-3449.

NBA Basketball - 'More Than a Game' (HD) - Inspirational Kaleidoscopic Architecture: A Hyper-Lapse Music Video Fragments of buildings seem to float and spin in the sky in this mesmerizing video for the U.K. band Wave Machines' "Ill Fit." Created by Scott Spencer and John Brown, aka the Popular Society, the video combines mirror effects with time-lapse photography that moves through space. The technique, sometimes called hyper-lapse, brings a dizzying velocity to time-lapse shots. Brown, a London-based director, spent four years refining the technique before producing this clip. He describes how he created it in a short interview below. The Atlantic: What was the inspiration for the video? John Brown: I've been working for some time on an art project capturing objects by circling them in this photographic hyper-lapse style. How and where did you shoot the hyper-lapse footage? It was shot all over London and Liverpool, where Scott and the band are based. How did it all come together in post? What's next for you? For more work from The Popular Society, visit

Louis C.K.'s Explanation of Why He Hates Smartphones Is Sad, Brilliant Yes, or you can view it as he keeps his kids from having smartphones in lieu of actually taking an interest in how his kids interact with other kids...not looking over their shoulders 24/7, but just seeing how they treat others and teaching them to not bully other kids. You can give your kid a smartphone and still be a good parent. I think he's chosen to manage one aspect over another. I suppose he could manage and observe his kid's use of a phone and hover all their social interactions but has decided not to. As I recall he even had a routine about taking television out of his kids lives too. Sounds like a self-righteous approach to parenting to me, then Except there's little if any reason for kids below a certain age to have a smartphone, and it does seem like most kids that have smartphones have one only because other kids have one. And that's the problem.

Last week, CNN’s Dr. Here’s what he — and those studying the chemistry of marijuana — now understand. Marijuana makes chemical contact with human bodies through cannabinoids, which are chemical compounds in marijuana (cannabis). Just as there was a time when we didn’t know we had immune systems or hormonal systems, until 1988 we didn’t know that we had cannabinoid systems. The human body produces and utilizes its own cannabinoids, but the body can also utilize cannabinoids from external sources. Any woman who has had a hot flash can find an analogy in the hormone estrogen. Other women, during menopause, seek to balance their hormonal systems through the use of a synthetic estrogen (rather than a plant-based one) such as with the pharmaceutical Premarin. So, in this analogy, pot is to a yam what Marinol is to Premarin.

World’s First Perpetual Motion Machine? | ASTOUNDE.com Can this machine operate forever? Since at least the 12th century, man has sought to create a perpetual motion machine; a device that would continue working indefinitely without any external source of energy. A large scientific contingent thinks such a device would violate the laws of thermodynamics, and is thus impossible. Could it be that as a race, we don’t fully understand the laws of physics and such a device may indeed be possible? Norwegian artist and mathematician Reidar Finsrud is an outside the box thinker that has devised a machine that he believes achieves true perpetual motion. The dream is that if we’re able to produce perpetual motion machines, that we’d have tapped into the holy grail of sustainability: an infinite energy source. A device that requires no input to run that could be affixed to a generator would harvest free energy to power whatever we so pleased. What are your thoughts? Source: Finsrud Comments comments
