People who are Bargain Hunters likely spend their money sparingly and they have a good sense of the value of the dollar. They strive to stretch their funds as far as possible. If they don't have to bargain shop for financial reasons, they may also be afraid of not having enough money someday, and thus splurging or overspending may feel more dangerous or foolhardy to them than it does to most. They may also simply enjoy the thrill of haggling and the challenge of the hunt for a deal, deriving pleasure from their great finds.

This is the chakra located at the top of your throat. The fifth chakra represents honesty and truth. When this chakra is clear, positive energy can flow from it freely. Radiating positive energy from your fifth chakra indicates that you've cultivated higher wisdom concerning the important life lessons associated with this energy center. You're apt to feel a more burning need than others do to speak the truth, treat people with respect, and act with integrity. Possessing strong fifth chakra energy also suggests that you're not one to fight your life's natural path. Instead, you seem to align your will with divine will.

People who stand out as only children due to their ability to set goals are likely to be perceived by others as punctual and determined. Chances are, they are reliable and don't miss deadlines. They probably don't make empty promises, but also feel that they need to be in control most of the time. They tend to be perfectionists. They are inclined to take responsibility for their actions and do not believe in making excuses.

II. Repeal, delete, and expunge any and all existing statutory laws that conflict with the provisions of this initiative.
1. Enactment of this initiative shall include: amnesty, immediate release from prison, jail, parole, and probation, and clearing, expungement, and deletion of all criminal records for all persons currently charged with, or convicted of any non-violent cannabis hemp marijuana offenses included in this initiative which are hereby no longer illegal in the State of California.

4. Regulate the personal use of cannabis hemp euphoric products in enclosed and/or restricted public places.
IV. Pursuant to the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the people of California hereby repudiate and challenge Federal cannabis hemp marijuana prohibitions that conflict with this Act.
V. Severability: If any provision of this Act, or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance, shall be held invalid by any court, the remainder of this Act, to the extent it can be given effect, or the application of such provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby, and to this end the provisions of this Act are severable.
VI. Construction: If any rival or conflicting initiative regulating any matter addressed by this act receives the higher affirmative vote, then all non-conflicting parts shall become operative.
VII. Purpose of Act: This Act is an exercise of the police powers of the State for the protection of the safety, welfare, health, and peace of the people and the environment of the State, to protect the industrial and medicinal uses of cannabis hemp, to eliminate the unlicensed and unlawful cultivation, selling, and dispensing of cannabis hemp; and to encourage temperance in the consumption of cannabis hemp euphoric products. It is hereby declared that the subject matter of this Act involves, in the highest degree, the ecological, economic, social, and moral well-being and safety of the State and of all its people. All provisions of this Act shall be liberally construed for the accomplishment of these purposes: to respect human rights, to promote tolerance, and to end cannabis hemp prohibition.

People who are strong communicators have an above-average ability to articulate ideas and feelings. People high in this quality tend to enjoy the act of communicating and can appreciate their own skill at it. Crafting a graceful phrase or telling an engaging tale are the kinds of talents that strong communicators are likely to be known for. Many people high in this quality also love to talk. Perhaps due to all of these skills, being high in this dimension is usually associated with a reasonably high level of confidence, intelligence, and decisiveness.

Your instinct to love and be loved is rooted very deeply in your subconscious and affects most of the decisions you make in life — whether you are aware of it or not.
You inspire people to experience their true feelings of love and act kindly towards others. You also value your personal relationships more than most people.
Your unique capacity to love may be greater than those around you, which means you may have more to give in relationships than your friends or romantic partners do.
Your psyche is very rich; the more you learn about it, the more you will understand who you really are.

Pearly Gate Humor
Einstein dies and goes to heaven. At the Pearly Gates, Saint Peter tells him, “You look like Einstein, but you have NO idea the lengths that some people will go to sneak into Heaven. Can you prove who you really are?”
Einstein ponders for a few seconds and asks, “Could I have a blackboard and some chalk?”
Saint Peter snaps his fingers and a blackboard and chalk instantly appear. Einstein proceeds to describe with arcane mathematics and symbols his theory of relativity.
Saint Peter is suitably impressed. “You really ARE Einstein!” he says. “Welcome to heaven!”
The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again, Saint Peter asks for credentials.
Picasso asks, “Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?”
Saint Peter says, “Go ahead.”
Picasso erases Einstein’s equations and sketches a truly stunning mural with just a few strokes of chalk.
Saint Peter claps. “Surely you are the great artist you claim to be!” he says. “Come on in!”
Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush. Saint Peter scratches his head and says, “Einstein and Picasso both managed to prove their identity. How can you prove yours?”
George W. looks bewildered and says, “Who are Einstein and Picasso?”
Saint Peter sighs and says, “Come on in, George.”

The next to arrive is Picasso. Once again, Saint Peter asks for credentials.
Picasso asks, “Mind if I use that blackboard and chalk?”
Saint Peter says, “Go ahead.”
Picasso erases Einstein’s equations and sketches a truly stunning mural with just a few strokes of chalk.
Saint Peter claps. “Surely you are the great artist you claim to be!” he says. “Come on in!”
Then Saint Peter looks up and sees George W. Bush. Saint Peter scratches his head and says, “Einstein and Picasso both managed to prove their identity. How can you prove yours?”
George W. looks bewildered and says, “Who are Einstein and Picasso?”
Saint Peter sighs and says, “Come on in, George.”

In other words, your uncompromisingly compassionate nature directly affects how, and how often, you experience certain feelings.
For example, your test results indicate that you're most fulfilled when you can lend a helping hand to those who really need it. That factor is directly related to your fundamental belief in compassion and the range of emotions it triggers.
Based on your belief in compassion, where do you rank in the emotional landscape? Which of your emotions dominate your life? And how can you learn to control your emotions?

Nici mie nu imi vine sa cred ce s-a intamplat!

By Octavian Paler
"Am învaţat unele lucruri în viaţă pe care vi le împărtăşesc şi vouă ! Am învăţat că nu poţi face pe cineva să te iubească. Tot ce poţi face este să fii o persoană iubită. Restul… depinde de ceilalţi. Am învăţat că oricât mi-ar păsa mie, altora s-ar putea să nu le pese. Am învăţat că durează ani să câştigi încrederea şi că doar în câteva secunde poţi să o pierzi. Am învăţat că nu contează CE ai în viaţă CI PE CINE AI. Am învăţat că te descurci şi ţi-e folosit farmecul circa 15 minute. După accea, însă, ar fii bine să ştii ceva.
Am învăţat că nu trebiue să să te compari cu ceea ce pot alţii să facă mai bine, ci contează ceea ce poţi să faci tu. Am învăţat că nu contează ce li se întâmplă oamenilor, ci contează ce pot să fac eu pentru a rezolva.
Am învăţat că oricum ai tăia, orice lucru are două feţe.
Am învăţat că trebiue să te desparţi de cei dragi cu cuvinte calde; s-ar putea să fie ultima oară când îi vezi.
Am învăţat că poţi continua încă mult timp după ce ai spus că nu mai poţi.
Am învăţat că eroi sunt cei care fac ce trebuie, când trebuie, indiferent de consecinţe.
Am învăţat că sunt oameni care te iubesc, dar nu ştiu s-o arate.
Am învăţat că atunci când sunt supărat am DREPTUL să fiu supărat, dar nu am dreptul să fiu şi rău.
Am învăţat că prietenia adevărată continua să existe chiar şi la distanţă. Iar asta este valabil şi pentru iubirea adevarată. Am învăţat că, dacă cineva nu te iubeşte cum ai vrea tu, nu înseamnă că nu te iubeşte din tot sufletul. Am învăţat că indiferent cât de bun iţi este un prieten oricum te va răni din când în când, iar tu trebiue să-l ierţi pentru asta.
Am învăţat că nu este întotdeauna de ajuns să fii iertat de alţii ; câteodată trebuie să înveţi să te ierţi pe tine însuţi. Am învăţat că indiferent cât de mult suferi, lumea nu se va opri în loc pentru durerea ta.
Am învăţat că trecutul şi circumstanţele ţi-ar putea influenţa personalitatea, dar că TU eşti responsabil pentru ceea ce devii. Am învăţat că dacă doi oameni se ceartă, nu înseamnă că nu se iubesc. Şi nici faptul că nu se ceartă nu dovedeşte că se iubesc. Am învăţat că uneori trebuie să pui persoana pe primul loc şi nu faptele sale.
Am învăţat că doi oameni pot privi acelaşi lucru şi pot vedea ceva total diferit.
Am învăţat că indiferent de consecinţe cei care sunt cinstiţi cu ei înşişi ajung departe în viaţă.
Am învăţat că viaţa îţi poate fi schimbată în câteva ore de către oameni care nici nu te cunosc.
Am învăţat că şi atunci când crezi că nu mai ai nimic de dat, când te strigă un prieten vei putea găsi puterea de a-l ajuta.
Am învăţat că scrisul ca şi vorbitul, pot linişti durerile sufleteşti.
Am învăţat că oamenii la care ţii cel mai mult îţi sunt luaţi prea repede…
Am învaţat că este prea greu să-ţi dai seama unde să tragi linie între a fi amabil, a nu răni oamenii şi a-ţi susţine părerile.
Am învăţat să iubesc ca să pot să fiu iubit."

Atmosphere - Fuck you, Lucy
[Women Singing]
"It leave never would you, you show could I If" [x6]
[Slug]
She say that she still wants a friendship
She can't live her life without me as a friend
I can't figure out why I give a damn to what she wants
I don't understand the now before the then
Most of this garbage I write that these people seem to like
Is about you and how I let you infect my life
And if they got to know you, I doubt that they would see it
They'd wonder what I showed you how you could leave it
A friend in Chicago said that I should stay persistent
If I stay around I'm bound to break resistance
Fuck you Lucy for defining my existence
Fuck you and your differences
Ever since I was a young lad with a part-time dad
It was hard to find happiness inside of what I had
I studied my mother, I digested her pain
And vowed no women on my path would have to walk the same
Travel like sound across the fate ladder
I travel with spoon to mix this cake batter
And I travel with feels so I can deal with touch
It's like that, thank you very much, fuck you very much!
[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
[Slug]
Fuck the "what happened?", I got stuck
They can peel pieces of me off the grill of her truck
Used to walk with luck, used to hold her hand
Fell behind then played the role of a slower man
I want to stand on top of this mountain and yell
I want to wake up and break up this lake of hell
I feel like a bitch for letting the she twist me up
The last starfighter is wounded, time to give it up
On a pick it up mission, kept it bitter
Gettin' in a million memories just to forget her
The difficulty in keepin' emotions controlled
Cookies for the road, took me by the soul
Hunger for the drama, hunger for the nurture
Gonna take it further, the hurt feels like murder
Interpret the eyes, read the lines on her face
The sunshine is fake, how much time did I waste?
Fuck you Lucy for leaving me
Fuck you Lucy for not needing me
I wanna say fuck you because I still love you
No, I'm not okay, and I don't know what to do
[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
[Slug]
Do I sound mad? Well I guess I'm a little pissed
Every action has a point, five points make a fist
You close 'em, you swing 'em, it's hurts when it hits
And the truth can be a bitch, but if the boot fits
I got an idea: You should get a tattoo that says "Warning"
That's all, just a warning, so the potential victim can take a left and save breath,
And avoid you, sober and upset in the morning
I wanna scream, "Fuck you Lucy!"
But the problem is I love you Lucy
So instead I'ma finish my drink and have another
While you think about how you used to be my lover
[Chorus]
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
(Yes, yes it is)
And everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love
Everyone in his life would mistake it as love

Sictir uman
De multe ori gresesc caci uit de prezent si sunt prins de vraja viitorului pe care mi-l imaginez ca o sa-l treiesc. Sunt obosit de probleme viitorului si nu mai am timp sa fac fata problemelor din prezent. Conflictele sociale pe care le port cu cunoscutii ma doboara cu incetul si imi dau seama ca in viata toata lumea greseste doar ca unii mai mult, altii mai putin...
Ce este o relatie interumana care isi are definitia bazata pe ceva sec si stors de seva vietii? Se mai poate numi prietenie slabul joc actoricesc a doua persoane care se joaca de-a prietenii in cadrul unui maraton de "soarecele si pisica"?
M-am saturat de prefacatorie, de minciuna si mai ales de abisala prostie care domneste in jurul nostru!
P.S. Trebuie sa trag neaparat o concluzie... Plictiseala e grav daunatoare sanatatii (fiind probabil un prdus din sare, zahar, grasimi si alcool in versiune excesiva) si te poate sa debitezi chestii ca cele de mai sus. De asemenea putema debita mult mai multe dar a intervenit un alt factor care se intelege bine cu plictiseala si anume lenea. Asa ca...
Bye All

Seriale
Din lipsa de ceva entertaining intr-o seara (pt ca hai sa fim seriosi, filmele care apar re-filmate in cinema sunt imposibil de urmarit de aceea si re-make-urile sunt mai slabe caci un film e menit sa fie filmat o data) an inceput sa urmaresc un serial despre care nu mai auzisem nimica pana in acel moment. Si bine am facut!
Serialul "Heroes" al NBC este o combinatie reusita de SF cu aventura si suspans. Nu am crezut ca acest serial vine cu ceva nou ci e doar o variatiune pe tema X-Men. Ei bine, desi au multe in comun cele doua serii (chiar si capacitatile unora dintre cei cu "daruri" sunt identice) ele se despart divergent la capitolul bun-simt. Desi nu lipsesc efectele speciale in Heroes nu acel vartej de actiune in care de la inceput si pana la sfarsit totul este o explozie FX care devine evident plictisotoare la un moment dat mai ales ca in acele momente de actiune, lupta si explozii, in esenta, nu se intampla nimc! Nu evolueaza firul narativ ci doar astepti sub rafale de flash-uri daunatoare retinei sa il omoare pe cel rau, dar nu inainte ca eroul sa ajunga cel putin o data la pamant si sa isi aminteasca de o femei, un camarad sau cine stie mai ce care a fost ucis sau distrus de eroul negativ chestiune care sub evidenta unui cliseu cinematografic actioneaza ca o fabrica de Red Bull asupra eroului, ii da noi sau ii reface puterile si astfel iese invingator.
In Heroes se intampla mai multe cu eroii, si, desi are scene de actiune multe, aceste nu au posibilitatea sa te plictiseasca. Un alt aspec al serialului este ca, in ciuda faptului ca dupa o privire de ansamblui e trasa mata de coada ca in orice serial american ca atata timp cat are rating trebuie sa existe, acesta are un ritm destul de alert si ai impresia ca lucrurile evolueaza cu o viteza cel putin decenta spre deosebire de alte idei bune precum Lost care a ajuns sa fie plictisitor tocmai datorita certitudinii data publicului ca "asta nu o sa se mai gate".
Una peste alta, este un serial bun si captivant mai ales pt serile cand alternativele tale sunt filmele cu Steven Segal reluate la infinit de televiziunile romanesti (poate acum ca am intrat in UE trebuie sa le invatam pe de rost... o fi vreo clauza ceva colo) sau un film "de cinema" filmat in cinema care nu poate provoca decat nervi si marirea dioptriilor celor care au deja ochelari sau punerea "bicicletelor" pe nasul celor care vad (inca) bine. Totusi trebuie sa mentionez ca e un serial "tanar" (a aparut pana cum ep. 4 din sezonul 2) si are deci tot timpul sa plictiseasca in final ca si un Prison Brek care se numea tot asa desi in sezonul 2 nu mai era nimeni inchis sau un Lost in care ei nu mai sunt "pierduti" de mult ci par doar pur si simplu prosti ca nu pot pleca de pe insula aia! (Fanii acestor seriale sa ma scuze caci si eu le urmaresc chiar cu o cantitate considerabila de placere dar trebuie recunoscut ca am oarecum dreptate.)
Asa ca daca vreti sa lasati "filmarile" filmelor in pace si sa vedeti ceva seriale (evident americane dar "moderne") care sa vad si bine (Thanks God for HDTV!) va recomand siteul
www.tvblog.ro
care contine suficiente detalii despre ce a aparut, apare si va aparea la televeziunile americane putandu-va face astfel o parere inainte de a va apuca sa "faceti rost" de ceva ce s-ar putea sa nu va placa!
Saluti!

Olimpiada de la Beijing




Fiecare competitie sportiva ce se desfasoara la fiecare 4 ani (Olimpiadele, Capionatele de Fotbal) au avut si vor avea mascote. Fiind un eveniment mondial in sine (chiar si CE de Fotbal e un asemenea eveniment) si datorita desfasurarii doar din 4 in 4 ani aceste manifestari sportive tind sa devina de o importanta economica uriasa si deaceea statele se "razboiesc" intre ele pentru a intra in gratiile Federatiilor Sportive Internationale in speranta gazduirii urmatorului asemenea event. Spuneam deci ca economic sunt importante... adica ai cui sa vinzi dar ce? Ei bine aici apar mascotele, logo-urile si toate dracoveniile alea care te fac sa cumperi brelocuri, cani si set 1000 pungi de plastic doar pentru ca sunt "de acolo" sau te fac sa te simti ca un adevarat suporter indiferent de sportul pe care il susti.
Mai sus se arata in caricaturile postate de unde vine logo-ul Olimpiadei ce se va desfasura in cel mai important stat comunist inca existent. Macar acuma daca cumparam un suvenir nu o sa ne mai socheze, ca si o sapca Ferrari sau un tricou cu Chelsea luate din Italia si respectiv Anglia, ca pe suvenirul tau scrie undeva micutz dai imposibil de ratat: "Made in China"!
