Dying mother left poignant wishlist for husband and sons

This article is very touching! First of all I'm very sorry for the two boys and the father that are left behind. The two boys will just know their mother as a memory. That's really sad. But you can't choose your life yourself. That's something that even I know. On the other hand I think the father has a really strong character. To deal with your wife's death because of cancer is not easy especially not when you have two younger children. And the worst part of all is that the husband knew that his wife was going to die. So he and his wife stayed many nights up until late and talked about many things and also about the "to do list" for the two boys. The mother wanted her boys to grow up normally, when she was gone. So she decided together with her husband to make that list for the sake of her children. Now each time when they complete something from the list they think about their mother.
Loosing someone is never easy but you must go on with your life and cherish
the people that are in your heart. Even if that means that they are not any longer with us.

Sally Menke: the quiet heroine of the Quentin Tarantino success story

Terrible news to report. Last week Sally Menke's body was discovered in Beachwood Canyon near the Hollywood Hills. She was 56 years old. It may have been California's extreme heat on Monday when she went missing but no details about how it actually happened. She had been hiking with her dog, a black labrador. The amazing film editor was best known for her work with Quentin Tarantino. Theyre great collaboration started with a phone-call when Wenke was standing in a phone booth where she was also hiking and so 20 years they worked together making amazing movies.

She edited all of his feature films. So you can thank her in part for the wondrous control of Tarantino's very distinctive pacing, intricate performance shaping freeze framing and not least of all those incredibly precise long-form action sequences in Kill Bill Vol 1 and Kill Bill Vol 2.

Google StreetView

The article i'm going to write about is: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2010/sep/30/google-street-view-map-antarctica

So finally, Google StreetView expands again. This time in Brazil, Ireland and Antarctica. Surprisingly enough, I'm not a huge fan of GoogleStreetview (Tech-nerd as I am). I think it's a bit unnessecary, cause let's be honest: to know where a certain place is, you don't need to see what it looks like from a humans perspective. You need a map, Sattelite if you're really want it, but no human's perspective. It's also a privacy-issue: once Google StreetView hits the entire world, you can pretty much be followed around where ever you go. I wouldn't like that. But beside that, there's another thing that bothers me a bit aswell. Why in the hell, would you create 'StreetView' in a country with barely any streets? I think the argument that Ed Parsons brings up is kind of weak. If you want to see how pinguins look like in Antarctica, you can always use Google and look up Pinguins... Hell you'll even be using another feature out of the Google co. array! But obviously , there's some positive sides the the whole Streetview project. If you can see from human's perspective, you can see monuments without having to go out of your house, not even your seat! And if you're planning to make a citytrip, you can check where it's crowded and where it's not , check out Hotels and see if the advertisement online is what it says it is.
So Google StreetView may have its upsides and downsides, it's a feature that's going to be used alot.
The only question is if it's actually going to be up worldwide eventually.

Modern-day slavery: horrific conditions on board ships catching fish for Europe

I am really shocked by reading this. I knew that there isnt many place on a boat and that the food is most of all very bad but I didnt know that the men were living in such bad conditions. They were also not paid with money but in boxes of trash fish and I think that is really a shame! Maybe there's a solution: stop eating fish so that there could not happened things like this. But then is the question: what about the legal fishermen? It is very shocking news because we cant do anything about it! First of all it happens on the sea and second : they are often backed by shell companies, which makes their real owners hard to trace and law enforcement extremely difficult! So maybe the next time when we buy fish, we first must check where it comes from!

flat-dweller cleans his windows

I saw this picture and I thought that it might be interesting.

Here you can see a man doing something that only spiderman would do,

Cleaning your windows 34 storeys up!

At first sight it looks pretty funny ,but I think that it is rather stupid.

This man just can't see the consequences.One wrong step, and he's dead.

I think that there are 2 possibilities;

1.He is an idiot

2.He has lost a bet

(or a combination of the two)

Maybe the other residents can hire him for a good price.

Fortunately the man safely came back to his room.

In any case, you won't find a picture of me doing that.And if you will please send a message.

I also wonder how they have taken that picture...

Best regards jens

Australian woman dies in Malaysian Base jump accident

Someone who dies when doing the thing they love is sad to see. Some people say its better to die doing what you love, then die alone or ill. But I dont think that jumping from a building and not getting your parachute open is the way you want to die. I cant think of a more horrible ending than smashing on the ground with 100 miles an hour. Were talking about a women with a lot of experience, it was her third jump of the day. The management said they took all the safety measures they had to, so it probably is her own fault. Maybe she got a bit careless with her equipment because she was over excited or too sure of herself. Anyway, its a tragedy.
