Nice to see your integrity has a price. Besides, he's not exactly poor even if he lost every contract

Hah hah. Let's hope it was really good cannabis then, if it was well worth losing million dollar contracts. At least it was the most expensive brand ever, for sure...
rofl, check out this article

message?
the fact that the exact same line is in both things really makes me think it's more than coincidence.

Creepy article. Coincidence, or not?
Soldier on 1st skydive leads dying instructor down
That must have been scary, knowing that your instructor has a heart attack and you have to get both you and him back down to safety.

Girl, 4, dies in washing machine
Read the entire thing. The article goes from serious/empathetic to ridiculous/wtf.
Poor kid though. Both of them. That boy will learn one day exactly why he doesn't have an older sister anymore. Or maybe be won't.
What would you do if you were the parent?
-Tell him at an appropriate age?
-Not tell him, but secretly keep photos of her -> what normal people'll do. Photos eventually leak out.
-Destroy all evidence of her and pretend like you never had a daughter.

Maybe when the son brings his first girlfriend home for the first time, it would be a good moment to reveal his gruesome past, in front of them both.
Knowing kids these days, he'll probably be 8 years old.
Buf after reading that, I can't help but imagine this:
*son* Hey Mum, I'd like you to meet Julie..(pauses to summon courage)..She's my girlfriend.
*gfrined* (smile) Hello Ms Smith
*Mum* Oh, she looks beautiful, Jack. And...so much like your sister. You remember? You killed her in the washing machine once."
<<Jaws dropping + silence>>
*Mum* Hoho, I'm just joking. Take a seat, I'll bring out some tea. (exists stage, drops newspaper clipping)
*son* (picks up n.paper) Mum, you dropped.....
<<Over The Shoulder close-up pan on n.paper headline>>
*gfriend* (looks at Jack, disgusted) Oh Gosh.....
*son* (stares at n.paper, horrified) Oh Gosh.....
<<(in the distance)....Julie, do you take milk with your te~>>
*Mum* (enters room, looks at scene): Oh dear. Don't be upset about it Jack. It was a long time ago...

Apparently it's a push 'n go type. Washes with one push of a button. Convenient
I never liked front-load washing machines. I thought they looked kinda ugly, but they do save a lot of water, and space too if you live in crowded environments like urban Japan or Hong Kong etc.
Now I've got another reason to dislike them. If you must get one of these, I suggest mounting them on the ceiling (those appartments have low ceilings anyway) to make it less of a hazard.

Rubik's Cube Redux

I found it entertaining how they managed to change the shape and the complexity of the Rubik's cube. Perhaps Psyke can pick up one for Rena.

I never understood how to solve the Rubik's cube

i dunno. it just seems like another puzzle, and like the cube champ guy said, it's a different concept.. so i don't really get why they're introducing it as the new cube.Rubik's Cube Redux

plus they already have so many variations of the rubiks cube, i wouldn't see the point in announcing a new one. they've got like.. 4x4x4, up to like 7x7x7, then they've got ball shaped ones, and diamond shaped ones.. i met this dude a little bit ago which had like 5 different kinds.
i just learned how the other day.. by watching two videos on youtube which walked me through it. now i've been doing it over and over, trying to memorize the algorithms.I never understood how to solve the Rubik's cube

integrity for what? getting high?
If you'd rather get baked than get a million dollars, then there's something wrong.

Yeah, well that would be true if he got on national television without the picture being released and said "yeah people, I smoke weed and how do you like that shit?"
But it was a picture he didn't know existed. How would you like to be out millions of dollars because of something you probably don't even remember doing?
If he's gonna get caught sucking on a bong, he shouldn't lie about how he's worried over hurt feelings. We in the legalization movement are touchy about this kind of thing, and I have contempt for people who lie about their actions to somehow save a reputation as a role model.

Pretty amazing. I really thought that the fast-forwarded part (where he shuffles the Rubix Cube) was his actual speed, then I see it slow down. His speed is still quite fast, though.
Consumer Reports Picks the Best Cup o' Brew
Ah... fresh coffee in the morning. The sweet smell of aroma, and the gentle taste...Folgers, Maxwell House, and Starbucks are America's best-selling ground coffees. But all three were iced by Eight O'Clock Colombian coffee in our taste tests. As for Starbucks, it didn't even place among the top regular coffees and trailed among decafs.

Have you ever tried Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica?
It's around $100/lb, sometimes higher.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
USA Swimming suspends Michael Phelps for 3 months
Fors and Against listed in this read:
The bitch of living as a high-profile person."He also lost a high-profile sponsor Thursday when Kellogg Co. said it wouldn’t renew its deal with Phelps that expires later this month.
“This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero,” the Colorado Springs, Colo.-based national governing body said in a statement.

“Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust.”"
------------------------------------------------------------------
“Enough is enough,” said Evan Morgenstein, who represents a large number of Olympic swimmers. “The penalty is far greater than the crime. He has said he is sorry. Let’s move on to the real problems in this country.”
“I see him as a kid trying to grow up in the most intense spotlight known to any athlete. He has apologized and what else can he do?” she told the AP by telephone. “The thing I hope is that people realize Michael is still a person and not just a swimming hero.”
