Nu era drumul national, era o cale laturalnica, fara gropi multe, cu peisaje frumoase, verdeata, cativa nori, nu trafic, nu aglomeratie, liniste etc. etc.

Cand, sa vezi surpriza ... dupa o coboroare, destul de lunga, la baza unei curbe un semn. Pacat ca nu era usor lizibil. Dar mesajul e esential. Isus Salveaza! As putea spune cu mana pe inima ca sunt oameni credinciosi soferii bihoreni, nu gluma.

The annual RTW Day moves to the ‘third Monday in June.’ The next Ride to Work Day is MONDAY, JUNE 15, 2009. It is the 18th annual Ride to Work Day.

Reasons for an earlier annual Ride to Work Day include:

The new day is not as hot in most northern hemisphere areas, and not as cold in most southern hemisphere areas. June weather is more favorable worldwide.

The new day provides an increased opportunity for more riders to Ride to Work. Many workplaces close for summer holiday in July - especially in Europe.

A Monday event encourages motorcycle and scooter commuting to continue during the entire week.

Positive media exposure will increase. Sundays are slower ‘news days’ so there will be more coverage like this: “Look for more motorcycles on your commute tomorrow, as Monday is the annual Ride to Work day...”

The Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) has endorsed this day, and is promoting the ‘Third Monday in June’ worldwide as the annual Ride to Work Day.

This way of thinking brought a criminal right to the police. During the investigation of a burglary at a home in Pinole California, officers heard a cellphone ring. On the other end a man asks "Hey, did you find my phone?"

Realizing that this might be a cellphone accidentally left at the scene by the burglar, Officer Uri Nieves played along and offered to return the phone at a local Boys and Girls Club. Criminal mastermind Antony Ramirez arrived at the scene at the predetermined time in a stolen Nissan 350Z and was promptly swarmed by police, but he managed to flee the scene on foot. Later, the police discovered that Ramirez was also wanted for a shooting death last year.

The police eventually caught up with him thanks to the fact that Ramirez was unable to put 2 and 2 together regarding the cellphone drop-off. He continued to text message the phone in an attempt to arrange a meeting to get it back. Unfortunately for us, the reports fail to mention what brand of cellphone was so damn important that a wanted murderer was willing to stick his neck out to get it back. [Gizmodo]

Tuesday, the 2nd of June 2009. This day seems to be normal, like every other day, a little bit of sunshine, some small clouds across the sky, nothing unusual seems to happen. As it gets dark, gigantic clouds gather all over the sky and a huge storm is about to begin. Maybe the biggest I experienced, since I live in Bucharest, Romania. Strong winds are starting to blow, gigantic rain-drops fall from up above, as well as hail. In less than an hour, in Bucharest at least 425 trees, masts, houses and cars were destroyed. The weather is playing crazy, really bad.

If you take your dog out for a walk and want to go shopping, do not hesitate to park your dog just outside the store.

Constructed of stained and lacquered birch, this robot desk features a multifunction "roll top" and drop leaf design. I love that it's equally suitable for books as a flat panel monitor.

On may 19th, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, a revolutionary discovery - one that will stand as a milestone for paleontologists and evolutionists everywhere - was announced.

Scientists based at the University of Oslo have discovered “Ida,” also known as Darwinius masillae, a 47-million-year-old fossil that has been proclaimed the “missing link” in connecting human skeletal structure to early mammals.

Scientists found Ida in Messel Pit, Germany and soon found out that she is about twenty times older than most fossils related to human evolution. What makes Ida so special is that despite her classification as an early prosimian (lemurs), she has certain undeniable human characteristics such as forward facing eyes and even an opposable thumb.

This is an exciting and validating day for scientists everywhere. Broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough has said: “This little creature is going to show us our connection with all the rest of the mammals.” [The Link]

It’s known that violence sells as well today, as it did 2000 years ago. Every day, in TV or in press articles there has to be something violent. In Japan, however, huge gains made from violent sports have led to the invention of the most stupid and also the bloody sport of recent years ... neon fights.

Pictures below were taken during a wrestling match, where several opponents fought against each other, in an arena which in the end, looked like after real war. The fighters did not hesitate to strike with bunches of neon tubes, until their bodies were completely covered in blood. In such a situation, we can only imagine the pain caused by the thousands of very small broken glass pieces and probably the mercury intoxication they had, after breaking the tubes.

The Colgao

This morbid lamp was created by design studio Enpieza in Spain. The Colgao (”hung” in Spanish) is hanging from the top horizontal rod of the lamp. The lamp looks very simple except for the tasteless, hanging anthropomorphic figure. Either the designers were fresh out of ideas or they are into black humor.

The Light Drop

Created by Brazilian designer Rafael Morgan, the Light Drop takes decorative lighting options to a new level of creativity. This watery light features a tap oozing out of a big drop of lighted water. Another trait that adds into the mystery of this unique light is the way it controls the illumination. It is the tap that doubles up as the dimmer in this case. Just turn it around and you can control the effects.

World's Biggest Sweet Potato (24.9 Lbs or 11.2 Kg)

Lebanese farmer Khalil Semhat, from the southern city of Tyre, couldn't believe his peeled eyes when he discovered he had grown a massive potato weighing 11.3 kilos (24.9 pounds), setting a record for the world's largest potato.

Worlds Largest Marrow (113 Lbs or 65 Kg)

Grown by Ken Dade in Norfolk, the 65kg (113lbs) vegetable needed two men to carry it to a stand at the National Amateur Gardening Show in Somerset. The voluptuous vegetable has entered the Guiness World Records book, beating the previous world title holder by 3kg.

World’s Heaviest Jackfruit (76 Lbs or 34.4 Kg)

The sweet tasting fruit weighed 34.6kg (76lb 4.4oz), measured 57.46 cm (22.625in) long and had a circumference of 121.28 cm on 8 August 2003. It was grown by George and Margaret Schattauer of Captai Cook, Hawaii, USA. Native to Western India, the fruit spread throughout South East Asia and first came to Hawaii in 1888.

World's Largest Green Cabbage (76 Lbs or 34.4 Kg)

John Evans, a mechanical designer who lives 40 miles north of Anchorage in Palmer, Alaska, holds seven world records for giant vegetables. One of them is this Green Cabbage, who weighted over 76 lb, making it a world record in 1998.

World's Largest Watermelon (268.8 Lbs or 122 Kg)

Weighting 268.8 pounds, this watermelon made the cut as the world's largest watermelon. Grown at the Hope Farm Store by Lloyd Bright, his family has a long history with watermelons: they set world records in melon size in 1979 with a 200 pound melon and again in 1985 with one that weighed 260 pounds.

The finacial crisis in the US is driving more and more people to find new ways to attract funds.

This Center for Sex & Culture in San Francisco found an unique solution: a Masturbate-a-thon broadcasted live on the Internet.

The masturbate-a-thon will feature separate women's and men's areas, as well as a mixed-gender area.

Those taking part in the event can give money for charity and then masturbate privately. The entry fee for this competition is between 15 and 25 $, depending on the seats.

The awards will be given to the person who can masturbate the longest, the longest distance a person can ejaculate and the most orgasms.

Special prizes will be awarded to those who can break the World Masturbation Record of 9 hours and 33 minutes for men and 7 hours and 6 minutes for women.

The whole event will take around 10 hours and I really hope they have some ambulances ready as there will probably be an overwhelming number of people suffering from severe exhertion. :)

Apparently if you create a 82 x 82cm burned square, the size of one pixel from an altitude of one kilometer, this square will look like a "dead pixel".

The egg will bear a plate writing ‘the biggest Easter Egg of the World'.

Plates will be nailed all over the city to show the way to the Guinness Book giant egg. [Roumanie]

At 100, Emma Hendrickson is on a roll.

Less than a month after celebrating birthday No. 100, the Morris Plains woman became the oldest competitor in the 90-plus-year history of the U.S. Bowling Congress Women’s Championships in Reno, Nev.

Hendrickson rolled 115, 97 and 106 for a 318 series in team competition that didn’t end until early Sunday at the National Bowling Stadium. Her average is 120.

“I love bowling because I get to be with people, and because I’m not at home sitting on a rocking chair,” she said. Because her eyesight has diminished over the years, Hendrickson relies on teammates to help her line up spare attempts. She already has signed up to compete in the 2010 event in El Paso, Texas.

It was nice outside, summer, we were many,many people travelling, from all over the world, as we had to get from one city to the other like some kind of caravan, at the Red Bull Romaniacs rally. As we arrived in Drobeta Turnu Severin, a town in the south-eastern area of Romania, on a parking place, there was this interesting trash, with this sticker on it and as I got closer, I found out there was a BabY on BoarD. Really cool, isn't it? Nowadays babys live, or travel in the same place with the trash. Maybe that is the way they get punnished.

A parish council is considering leaving potholes in its roads to slow down traffic, describing them as "the original traffic calming measure". They will also save hedgehogs, keep rates down and help to keep unwanted people out.

Writing in the newsletter of Navestock Parish Council in Essex, Great Britain, Mike Parrish said: "Potholes cost a lot to repair and that's our rates. Coupled with potholes there is an ongoing cry for speed limits. Well, potholes are the original traffic calming measure. So what with saving much time, rates and calming the traffic, potholes seem quite friendly."

He later elaborated: "We decided to keep a designated main road through the village in repair and let the rest got to pot. It will mean drivers and cyclists drive more carefully and slowly."

The council's vice chairman Adrian Enkel agreed. "It's worth a shot. We'll see how it goes," he said. "The roads here have a natural speed limit because of the state of the surface."

But another councillor described the idea as a "dereliction of duty". [20min]

After "Il Caimano" (The Caiman) by Nanni Moretti and "Bye Bye Berlusconi" by Jan Henrik Stalberg, another movie about the Italian head of government and media entrepreneur Silvio Berlusconi, puts the cat among the pigeons. The pay-TV channel Sky Italia broadcasted this week the film "Shooting Silvio", a description about a plan to assassinate the well-known politician. This debut feature from young director Berardo Carboni, triggered some heavy debates. Berlusconi's ruling coalition accused the TV station of the Australian media magnate, as well as Silvio Berlusconis competitor Rupert Murdoch, that they incite the population to violence. If you havent seen the movie yet, here's the trailer of "Shooting Silvio". [Krone]

It was the campaign promise everyone was waiting to see fulfilled: Bo the First Dog finally joined US President Barack Obama and his family at the White House on Tuesday.

"I finally got a friend," Obama quipped as his daughter Malia paraded Bo before a swarm of press photographers and cameras on the White House lawn. "We are very pleased with Bo."

Bo had been a campaign promise to Obama's daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, which the president revealed to the world on the night of his November 4 election victory.

A six-month-old Portuguese water dog, Bo's arrival ends more than two months of heated speculation that rivalled many of Obama's more serious policy announcements.

Obama's wife Michelle joined the family in their first stroll with Bo outside the White House.

Bo is the first dog owned by any of the Obamas. Malia has allergies, which limited their choices to hypoallergenic breeds like the Portuguese water dog and the Labradoodle. [LA Times]

Throwing basketballs from the strangest positions would be one type of exercice you might want to experiment: sitting on a chair behind the basket, throwing from the rooftop, from the neighbors yard, in a basketball basket mounted on a car, in motion and so on ... It's pretty amazing that the authors of this clip hit the basket every time! And their executions would make even LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal jealous! Check it out!

The tweenbot, a cardboard-bodied, cheerful little bugger, is equipped with a flag stating its intended destination. Since it can only move forward, it depends on the kindness of strangers to guide it and remove obstacles.

Tisch School of the Arts student Kacie Kinzer created the tweenbot as a kind of art experiment. In her words:

I wondered: could a human-like object traverse sidewalks and streets along with us, and in so doing, create a narrative about our relationship to space and our willingness to interact with what we find in it? More importantly, how could our actions be seen within a larger context of human connection that emerges from the complexity of the city itself? To answer these questions, I built robots.

In New York City, we might expect the smiley-faced tweenbot to be stabbed, stomped, mugged, or covered in graffiti, but every single one of the journeys was completed without a hitch. Pedestrians would stop and help the little guy when he was trapped against a curb or headed into traffic, and point him in the right direction.

Pete Verrando has built these prototype CD turntables. I don't know if they actually work, but he's patented it, so don't get any funny ideas.

I wonder how difficult it would be to actually make this work, since the reading laser normally moves in a straight radius from center to edge, but a turntable would have an arc. (Probably a simple formula, but one that is not hard-wired into a regular laser assembly.)

In the cartoon, he takes on his Nemesis, former Republican vice presidential candidate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, who sports a cape made from wolf skin and her trademark glasses - and very little else. Obama will also feature in another Devil’s Due book, ‘Drafted: One Hundred Days’. It tells the story of a leader whose future is stunted “when a race from beyond the stars drafted our planet into intergalactic war”. [Bossip]

There are plenty of chairs out there that collapse into more portable forms, but this director's chair is undoubtedly the most convenient to carry. It can fold to a width of only four inches.

Because the chair folds into such a small package, it can be easily stored and carried in the included messenger bag. It's seems to be fairly strong too—it weighs only 9 pounds, but it can support up to 250 pounds. This sort of thing would be great when golfing, camping or attending an outdoor event—but be prepared to pay for the added convenience. This director's chair will set you back $130.
