#9: Nodar Kumaritashvili was a Georgian luger, who suffered a fatal crash during a training run for the 2010 Winter Olympics competition in Vancouver, Canada.Kumaritashvili lost control in the final turn of the course and was thrown off his luge and over the sidewall of the track, striking an unprotected steel support pole. He was travelling at 143.6 km/h (89.2 mph) at the moment of impact. The luge course at Whistler is notoriously fast and, before the competition, Josef Fendt, president of the International Luge Federation (FIL), publicized his concerns about the Sliding Centre. Nodar Kumaritashvili was the fourth athlete to die during Winter Olympics preparations.
#8: Eyjafjallajökull is one of Iceland’s smaller ice caps, located in the far south of the island. It is situated to the north of Skógar and to the west of the larger ice cap, Mýrdalsjökull. Eyjafjallajökull covers the caldera of a volcano, with a summit elevation of 1,666 meters (5,466 ft). The volcano has erupted relatively frequently since the last ice age. Before 2010, the most recent major event was in 1920. The 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruptions weren’t the largest ever recorded, but the subsequent ash clouds that were released caused an enormous disruption to air travel across western and northern Europe over a six day period in April 2010. It was the highest level of air travel disruption since the Second World War.
The most severe explosion occurred on April 14, 2010, and resulted in an estimated 250 million cubic meters (330,000,000 cu yd) of ejected tephra. The ash plume rose to a height of approximately 9 kilometers (30,000 ft). The subsequent air traffic closures caused millions of passengers to be stranded, not only in Europe, but across the world. Between the months of April and May, 2010, various regions, including Ireland, Scotland, the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, northern Italy and Austria, had to completely close their airspace. The volcano was able to inject its ash plume directly into the jet stream. The ash was then carried over Europe into some of the busiest airspace in the world.
#10 :In the early 1980s, a collection of black women began to turn up dead in the alleyways and dumpsters of South Los Angeles, California. On September 23, 1985, the police announced that they believed a single individual, labeled the Southside Slayer, was responsible for the crimes. The case turned cold until May 2007, when the murder of Janecia Peters, 25, was linked by DNA analysis to 11 unsolved murders attributed to the Southside Slayer. The attacker was soon dubbed the Grim Sleeper by the local press, because he supposedly took a 14-year hiatus from his crimes, from 1988 to 2002. In August 2008, the LA Weekly conducted an extensive interview with the sole survivor of the Southside Slayer attacks and she provided several important details, describing him as a “thin, neat, polite and well-groomed African-American guy.”
The killer documented his attack with a Polaroid camera. The female victim blacked out, but was startled awake by the bright flash of the camera. On July 7, 2010, the Los Angeles Times reported that an arrest had been made in the Grim Sleeper case. The suspect is Lonnie David Franklin Jr., who is 57 years old. Originally, the police had not been able to obtain a DNA match between evidence found at the crime scenes and people in California’s DNA profile database. However, officials located similar DNA belonging to Lonnie Franklin’s son, Christopher, who was convicted of a felony weapons charge. Ultimately, the police used a piece of discarded pizza with Lonnie Franklin’s DNA to make the link.
In order to obtain the evidence, a federal detective pretended to be a waiter at a restaurant where the suspect ate. He collected dishes, silverware, glasses, and pizza crusts to obtain DNA. Saliva found on the victim’s breasts was used to obtain a DNA match linking Lonnie Franklin to the murders. Along with the DNA evidence, the police discovered a large collection of circumstantial evidence against Franklin when searching his home. On December 16, 2010, the Los Angeles Police Department released 180 photos of women found in Franklin’s home. Officials released the images after unsuccessful attempts to identify the people, who are possibly additional victims.
In all, investigators found over 1,000 photos and several hundred hours of video in Franklin’s home. The images show mainly African American women of a wide age range, from teenagers to middle-aged and older, often nude. Police believe Franklin took many of the pictures, which show both conscious and unconscious individuals, and date back up to 30 years. As the history of serial killers has taught us, the number of linked murders to a specific DNA specimen does not indicate the entire murder count. The photographs suggest that Franklin may have killed hundreds of unidentified women.
The year 2010 recorded some of the worst natural disasters in history. The events have had a strong impact on people as we move into 2011. Many of the disturbances have been blamed on the world’s current global weather disruption. Some important stories that were deserving but left out of the list are: the 2010 earthquakes that hit Haiti and Chile, Typhoon Megi, the Phnom Penh stampede and the death of Néstor Kirchner.
My name is Joe and I live in Illinois. I am converting all your entries to editable text and re-posting on the BTB site.
For your entries, it appears the BTB site does not allow for certain types of formatting with in the areas of columns and such. Rather, it is a fairly straight-forward line break format. I also won't change any of the text as I am unsure whether you wanted it that way or not. In short, the text will be exactly like you typed it with the exception of complex formatting.
For now, that is it. I just did the first web page of entries (10 total) and will get to the other 4 web pages this weekend.
So something new for you in 2012. I know it is not a huge deal in the big picture, but just know that you are on the internet.
LEXINGTON, N.C. — Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?
Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.
Investigators told the Winston-Salem Journal that 53-year-old Michael Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other items. Store employees called police after his insistence that the bill was legit, and Fuller was arrested.
The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969.
Fuller was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is in jail on a $17,500 bond, and it isn't clear if he has an attorney. He is scheduled to be in court Tuesday.
Have you ever thought about graphic art school? Putting your art into video games is a great idea! Plus once you're filthy rich you can kick down some cash for your sister for giving you the idea. :)
Read Doreen Virtue & Sylvia Brown, also there is other ones that I find interesting about OOBE's. It may help explain some of the energy questions you have.
Is it crime or unacceptability? For instance, if someone takes a life while defending themselves we call it justifyable, if its an accident then it becomes manslaughter, but if it is intentional it's murder. So where are the guidelines? Morality of course, but then who sets those standards? Humans do, so really it comes down to what is humane and what is not. Helping kittens- very humane, robbing the same people later - mistake, but if you only helped with the kittens to aid in your later theft...then that is not humane. When you are stealing to support your family does the rule change? Of course not, theft is theft, murder is murder. How you "feel" about the crime I think is what sets it apart. If you feel bad for having hurt someone then you have the morality to have made a better choice. However, if you only feel bad for having been caught then your morility is useless and your humanity non-existent. Price and risk are a funny thing, what I might be willing to do is different then what someone else might be willing to do...and of course the reasoning will also be different. I would give my life for my son, but would I give it if it was to help him hurt someone else?... No, I don't think I would...but someone else might for their child. We are no different out here...the same thoughts and ideas run through our minds... when you don't have money to pay bills or put food on the table and it feels like the only alternative is to rob someone, the thoughts are most definitly present, the ideas running rampant, but the decision to not do it is what sets us apart. The notion that if I'm caught and go to jail I would be no better off helping than I am now and I would also be away from ever helping when I could, is not the only reason... There is something that clicks in my mind, something that says that it feels wrong. That little voice of humanity and morality kicks in, that not only am I jeopordizing myself, but I'm hurting someone else...that's what would stop me. Its not someone being more intelligent than another, but I think some of us act on our thoughts before our brains have time to suss out the situation. Patience I hear after all, is a virtue. So to answer your question, the difference between us on the outside and those on the inside is time. Given more time to think through what you had done, would you still have done it?
Have you looked at the formula according to Carl Jung and Isabel Briggs Myers typology? I like most of Carl Jungs ideas. (most hehe) Let me know if you get a chance to read that one.
