Soccer Player Kicks Owl To Death
it wasnt so much as a kick as it was a scoop (or loft in football terms). you're right though, you arent a footballer but you are a fucking idiot fucking brainless.
Soccer Player Kicks Owl To Death
>> ^Chaucer:
actually, if you want closely, he doesnt kick the bird like he's trying to kill or hurt it. Soccer players will know a move called 'lofting the soccer ball'. Basically, you are trying to get the ball into the air at your location. If he was trying to kill the bird, he would have kicked it and the bird would have just rolled along the ground. Instead the see the owl take a very vertical trajectory. This would jive with his story that he was trying to get the bird in the air to make it fly away.
He still shouldnt have done what he did though because there are to many idiots out there which would misunderstand the situation and make a big deal out of it.
On a side note that you guys also seem to be forgetting is that owls are very dangerous. They have insanely sharp claws and sharp beaks. I wouldnt want to touch an owl that is confused and have it tear my hand off.
The owl likely died from being hit by the soccer ball which was likely moving much faster than his foot.
Horseshit. You don't kick a clearly injured animal unless you want to hurt it more. I can't imagine any circumstance in which I would think "This creature might need my help. I will, therefore, kick it". But then again, I'm not a fucking idiot fucking brainless footballer.

Fox News' Fair and Balanced Coverage of Obama's Nuclear Deal
>> ^Kevlar:
Hold on, now, let's earnestly consider Fox News' point before calling them out. We may only be able to blow up the entire goddamned earth 3 times over instead of 5 by the time this deal is done.
Oh, just to make sure I'm not exaggerating: let's take a look at our old friend, nuclear winter. Turns out you only need 50 bombs to destroy the earth.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter
"A minor nuclear war with each country using 50 Hiroshima-sized atom bombs as airbursts on urban areas, could produce climate change unprecedented in recorded human history. A nuclear war between the United States and Russia today could produce nuclear winter, with temperatures plunging below freezing in the summer in major agricultural regions, threatening the food supply for most of the planet. The climatic effects of the smoke from burning cities and industrial areas would last for several years, much longer than previously thought. New climate model simulations, that are said to have the capability of including the entire atmosphere and oceans, show that the smoke would be lofted by solar heating to the upper stratosphere, where it would remain for years.
Compared to climate change for the past millennium, even the smallest exchange modeled would plunge the planet into temperatures colder than the Little Ice Age (approximately 1600-1850). This would take effect instantly, and agriculture would be severely threatened. Larger amounts of smoke would produce larger climate changes, and for the 150 Tg case produce a true nuclear winter, making agriculture impossible for years. In both cases, new climate model simulations show that the effects would last for more than a decade."

The one thing I like to say about my country: We're a really awesome loft above a kick ass party =)

Birds on the Wires
Found it in an article... can't find an actual video:
http://www.pbs.org/aboutpbs/news/20020726_bemore.html
Relevant part:
"Girard infused his expertise and passion for music into:
Birds: Alone in his loft, a composer-played by real-life composer, Walter Boudreau-is struggling with some serious writer's block as he works at his piano. After what appears to be several hours of hard effort, he is rewarded with inspiration from a most unlikely source, the pigeons outside his window. The conclusion: Be More inspired."
Its Snowing in Houston!!
Give it up for H-Town! Hey ctrlaltbleach....not many sifters will admit they live in the greater Houston area...known of 3 here (myself included) in the history of the Videosift...We're you around in 72' when we got 3-6 inches and it actually stuck around for 2 days? Looks like someone in the Heights filming from a town home or loft apt, eh?
supermarket wtf (Blog Entry by jwray)
That statistic about people owning their own homes includes people who own condos, lofts, and yard-less houses downtown, which is a large number of people. I don't know how many exactly. Don't assume that that figure is mostly suburbanites.
If I were to spend 30min a day tending my 10 square meters of available indoor garden space, It would have to produce $1800 worth of vegetables per year to be worth the time. I doubt one can produce $180 per year per square meter without growing contraband. Also, the electricity cost of the growing lights would be over a hundred dollars per year for sure. If it were viable to produce most vegetables indoors at a lower cost than producing them outdoors, then large corporations would already be saturating that niche.
Also, with each additional variety comes the overhead cost of figuring out how to best take care of it. There is no way that it would be efficient to grow a plant that I would only use once or twice per year.

Sigur Rós - Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása
It's "Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása"
Meaning: Good weather for air raids
or a more direct translation: Well weathered for air raids

Do NOT loft the ball!
Rookie Reggie Bush gets Leveled
That was actually Brees' fault for lofting the ball like that to him. This was the second play from scrimmage. I remember thinking "Oh shit - Reggie just got taken out of the game." Instead, he got up after this and racked up about 100 all purpose yards and scored a touchdown in the Saints first ever divisional round playoff win.
