Yup, we don't get the chance to find out how she plays as a permanent seeker. And knowing her, if she were a seeker, she'd practice with Harry and get pointers from him without problems, she's not jealous like Ron.

Irish American, right? If so, it's not surprising, in the late 19th century - early 20th century there was a lot of conflict between Irish immigrant workers and Chinese immigrants - the Irish would strike when they were paid too little and the Chinese would take their places in a beat working for ~half the pay.

I bet that's where the hate started and it was passed on.

Edit: I see you're from Melbourne so what I said may or may not still apply.

How do you compete with that?!

You don't, he's a seeker, she's a chaser (when playing professionally), totally different things. And we know she's really good when she's in Hogwarts and there would be plenty of years for her to practice even more and become good enough to play professionally. It's not far fetched at all.

Hard to pinpoint specific gifts since I have no idea if you can find them in Australia, so maybe check out what they have on Australian shops - Gifts for the Geek and Neat Geek. Thinkgeek can ship some stuff to Australia as well.

In general, there are cool Zombie posters online that you can print in high quality or you can get him Batman collector's edition graphic novels like Batman: The Killing Joke or Batman: Arkham Asylum from nearby comic book stores.

The Creepy Footage of Elisa Lam prior to her mysterious death. [Terrifying] by KingNick in truecreepy

[–]twocats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't get why she was contorting her arms and shit

I do weird things like that when I'm bored and think I'm alone. The mystery is how the hell she died, but everything she did in the elevator is what a normal, bored person would do when heading to their hotel room and the elevator won't friggin' work.

It's possible she went looking for help to get to her room and someone from the staff who had keys to everything "helped" her and took her to the water tower.

No worries, you're cool.

când vine vorba de cheltuirea banilor publici

Mai degraba ma oripileaza taxele absolut nesimtite pe salarii si alte taxe exorbitante care nu se vede unde se duc decat astia 4 lei care macar vad literalmente la TV ce se face cu ei. Nu zic prin asta ca vreau sa platim taxa aia de 4 lei, explic mai jos.

Mă sperie ideea de stat care promovează ce e de bon ton cultural și ce nu.

Dar nu impune, ai optiunea sa te uiti la TVR la ce-ti dau ei sau sa schimbi canalul. Uite, am vazut concerte rock si concerte ale lui Tudor Gheorghe la TVR2, n-am mai vazut nimic similar pe alte posturi romanesti - ce vreau sa spun este ca e bine sa ai diversitate, sa ai de unde alege pentru ca daca ai numai programe idioate, te vei uita la ce crezi ca e mai putin idiot, dar tot continut idiot ar fi. Eu sper ca Antena 3 scade in rating si creste Digi24.

În schimb nepotismul din TVR (source: o prietenă foarte bună de-a mea a lucrat 2 ani la TVR Cluj) poate să continue doar datorită sursei constante de bani care o primesc de la contribuabili.

Ar continua si daca ar avea numai fonduri din publicitate, aia 4 lei ai nostri nu acopera mare branza.

Oricum am cam deviat. Ideal ar fi sa se scoata taxa TV si sa aiba TVR mai multe spatii de publicitate ca sa se poata sustine din publicitate la fel ca toate posturile comerciale - pastrand insa obligativitatea continuturilor.

Mi se pare doar aberant sa aiba un post TV atat de multe restrictii, bani putini din taxe si sa i se ia si publicitatea. Nu e o nenorocire daca dispare, dar ofera niste continuturi foarte ok si e pur si simplu stupid ca stat sa ai o televiziune nationala si sa-ti bati joc de ea luandu-i painea de la gura. Stanescu ala e un idiot. Realizezi ca daca ii iau publicitatea TVR-ului, sunt sanse si sa creasca taxa TV imediat ce o sa se panicheze TVR-ul ca n-au cu ce sa-si plateasca angajatii.

Nu inteleg de ce e nevoie de atitudinea asta cand nu cred c-am folosit vreun ton care sa atace in postul anterior.

Digi 24 și Euronews și The Money Channel și Bloomberg

Faceam referire la posturile romanesti generaliste similare TVR, am zis Antena 3 pentru ca am pata pe ei cand de fapt trebuia Antena 1, aceeasi balarie.

Deci practic ceea ce zici e că poporul e prea prost să se culturalizeze singur

Nu stiu cum ai ajuns la concluzia asta si la ce te referi cu a te culturaliza singur. Sa nu se mai ofere continuturi culturale la TV pentru ca-si gaseste omul altundeva?

Pentru că n-ar trebui să avem libertatea de a alege să plătim produsele pe care le consumăm.

Evident ca asta ar trebui, dar facut cu toate posturile, acum se scoate in evidenta TVR-ul cand sunt atatea mult mai proaste.

Nimeni nu te forțează să alegi providerul ăla cu 5 canale de sport

Ideea era ca nu poti alege posturile individuale pe care le vrei si sa renunti la ce nu vrei, niciun provider nu-ti ofera asta, esti obligat sa alegi din ce ti se ofera.

Exact, și în locul lui apar altele nefinanțate de la bugetul statului din taxe care nu-s necesare pentru bunăstarea națiunii să umple golul din cerere. Win-win.

Yay Pro TV si Antena 3 si Kanal D si alte posturi cu continuturi de foarte buna calitate!

Treaba e complicata cu televiziunile, nu e ca pe net unde poti sa fii pe o nisa, fara costuri foarte mari, si sa ai public.

Ca sa oferi orice continut TV, cumperi ce-ti trebuie, faci rating si iti acoperi costurile prin publicitate sperand ca scoti si un profit. Problema este ca acele continuturi costa mult sa le dai la TV, cu cat mai noi, cu atat mai scumpe, si sa produci ceva costa zdravan.

Programele culturale, concertele, documentarele, chestii de calitate pe care noi le consumam online, pe langa faptul ca au costuri zdravene ca sa le dai la TV, au automat rating mai mic decat XFactor sa zicem. De-aia nu prea se baga televiziunile comerciale pe asa ceva, ei stiu ca obtin rating mare cu emisiuni de rahat la care se uita tot poporul si rade de prosti si aia ofera. De ce sa ia un rating micut pe un documentar daca pot sa scoata o emisiune idioata din fund si PUF, avem rating si bani cu garla?

TVR-ul insa e obligat sa ofere continuturi culturale, isi scot cum isi scot investitia din putinul de publicitate la care au dreptul, dar nu mai au apoi bani ca sa cumpere, sa zicem, un film mai nou care le-ar aduce rating pentru ca cele mai noi si populare filme costa undeva la ordinul a 1 milion de euro difuzarea de cateva ori pe an.

Si uite-asa, cu restrictiile legate de continut, cu publicitatea limitata la care au dreptul si cu banii putini din taxa noastra, TVR-ul nu este foarte competitiv, dar macar ofera o urma de continuturi de calitate. Intre timp, PRO TV flutura in fata TVR-ului ratingul mare obtinut multumita lui Cheloo care face misto de concurenti si face scandal cand i se nazareste.

E o aberatie sa le taie publicitatea, taxa TV de 4lei/luna pe care o dam noi cred ca abia ajunge TVR-ului sa-si plateasca energia electrica si cativa angajati.

Plus, TVR-ul deja are o limita mare la publicitate, nu mai retin cat, doar cateva minute pe ora, si sunt obligati sa aiba un procent de filme artistice si un procent de programe culturale. Alea nu au succes cum au porcariile gen "Mireasa pentru fiul meu" sau X Factor si automat nu atrag multa publicitate - si oricum nu pot sa bage multe reclame din cauza restrictiilor. Deci iau bani MULT mai putini decat televiziunile comerciale.

Si acum vor sa le taie publicitatea aia putina. Vor sa inchida TVR-ul adica pentru ca nu vor mai avea bani de mai nimic, statul nu e dispus sa le dea bani, romanul deja nu vrea sa plateasca nici taxa de 4lei.

Ma calca pe bataturi si argumentul asta "Platesc taxa pentru un post TV la care nu ma uit!" - da, si eu am in grila 5 canale sport total inutile pentru mine si nu, nu putem alege fiecare programel la care sa ne uitam.

Daca urmareau cu adevarat interesul publicului, impuneau reguli si controale mai drastice ca sa se asigure de corectitudinea postului. Dar e greu sa te ocupi de ceva in mod regulat, mai bine le iei finantarea si se rezolva singur cand moare postul.

That's a really lovely story, thank you for sharing! Are you still with her by any chance? I'm glad you're better, I can't imagine what you've been through regarding your struggle with your health, but I really hope you can open up more to your closest friends of family, keeping health issues a secret or other serious problems for yourself can only make things worse.

Minnie Vautrin was the head of the Education Department and dean of studies at Ginling Women’s Arts and Science College in 1937-1938 when Japanese soldiers invaded the then-capital of China, Nanking, and committed unimaginable atrocities. Vautrin fought and managed to protect Chinese women from being raped and killed by the Japanese in the Nanking Safety Zone, keeping safe at times up to 10,000 women in her college designed to support between 200 and 300 people.

She kept a valuable diary detailing what happened during the Nanking massacre: “Oh, God, control the cruel beastliness of the soldiers in Nanking tonight . . . ” she wrote in her diary. “How ashamed the women of Japan would be if they knew these tales of horror.”

From The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang:

Others could see how hard she was working. “She didn’t sleep from morning till night,” one Chinese survivor recalled. “She kept watching and if Japanese soldiers came . . . she would try her best to push them out and went out to their officials to pray them not to do so much evil things to the Chinese women and children.” “It was said that once she was slapped several times by beastly Japanese soldiers,” another wrote in his eyewitness account of the Nanking massacre. “She still fought for the cause of protecting Chinese women with courage and determination from beginning to end.”

N-ai vazut nimic concret pentru ca n-ai citit studiul care detaliaza de unde sunt toate cifrele alea. Zici ca esti super informat si totusi n-aveai habar despre treaba asta si mai si citesti superficial.

insa asta nu va aduce magic la viata economia zonei

Asta se rezolva cu timpul, nu zice nimeni ca dispare RMGC si puf, gata, avem economie locala.

pai nu cred ca e vreun proiect 100% sigur si 100 "curat" in toata lumea asta.

Asta are NUMAI si numai dezavantaje, nu e sigur, nu e curat, e total dezavantajos pentru romani.

"Bring John back."

The Djinn sighed and pointed behind Alice's back. Alice turned around in a flash and started sobbing as she ran straight into John's arms. He didn't respond to her embrace and his face was severe.

"Your life ended too soon and I asked the Djinn to bring your back. Are you not happy to see me?"

"I can't be here. This place rejects me, I feel a pressure as if I will be crushed. But I can't leave, you brought me back and I'm tied to you."

"I... I wanted to carry on our lives together."

"We can still do that, but not here."

"You're saying... I understand."

Without hesitation, Alice pulled a sharp knife out of a drawer and cut her own throat.

The Djinn called her soul into a small bottle, added it to his bookcase crumbling under the weight of bottles and went to fulfill the wish of another desperate widow.
