Mokong Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Gotta stick this here too. Thai school kids singing a song in honor of Katie Taylor and her winning Gold at London 2012. Tried to check up why they seem to love both Ireland and Celtic football club. Apparently they once had a teacher from Ireland who was a Celtic fan and taught local kids English but who was killed in a Knife atatck in Blantyre. So the kids have kept their bond with him by continuing to follow Celtic FC and Irish sports

Goafer Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Stolen from Dannyboy's Facebook: A devoted father has completed a triathlon carrying his 13-year-old cerebral palsy-afflicted daughter across land and through water so that she could complete the gruelling event. Rick van Beek's feat of endurance and show of love for his daughter Madison have led many to call the man from Byron Center, Michigan the 'father of the century'. But it is not the first race of its kind for van Beek, who said he has participated in more than 70 events, including half-marathons, triathlons and other outdoor races, as part of 'Team Maddy'. For the swimming portion, van Beek tugs his daughter through the water in a kayak and then pulls her behind him in a cart as he cycles. He runs the last leg pushing her in a buggy. Van Beek, 39, told the Midland Daily News that he wants to complete the events with his daughter, who is unable to walk or talk, because she adores being outside. 'She functions like a three-month-old, and one of the very few things that we know she enjoys is being outside, being in the water, feeling the breeze in her hair and in her face,' he said. Maddy was diagnosed with cerebral palsy two months after she was born. 'It was one of the worst days of our lives,' van Beek told Fox 17. 'Everybody prays that their children are healthy and for eight years I still wished that she had been a healthy child, but if she wouldn't have been like she is then we wouldn't be the people that we are today.' His outlook changed when he saw his daughter taking part in a marathon more than four years ago, and saw the pure joy on her face. 'I watched my daughter Maddy being pushed in the Grand Rapids Marathon,' he recounted on his blog. 'To see her being so happy and enjoying every bump in the road was more than I could handle, my emotions took over. 'Shortly after that day I gave up smoking 2 packs a day and chewing a tin a day to be better, for Maddy. It has been a long road, with many bumps, but we are better.' In a bid to make his daughter happy, he began training for outdoor races in 2008. Van Beek, who was out of shape and a heavy smoker, also realised it would be beneficial for him. He persevered to get into shape for his daughter, and raised money for charities along the way. '[The emotion] drives me or inspires me to do the things that I do,' he wrote on his blog last year. 'Call it inspiration, call it motivation, call it what ever you want, I call it LOVE. 'That will never fade...She is my heart and I am her legs, though someday she might not physically be able to be there with me, she will always be in my heart, quietly cheering me on.'

arab_freak Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 Nintendo-playing centenarian says video games secret to youth http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/9051795/Nintendo-playing-centenarian-says-video-games-secret-to-youth.html Kathleen Connell, known as Kit, turned 100 last week but attributes her sharp mind to regular sessions on her hand-held games console. "It's absolutely super, I can't speak highly enough of it. I don't know what I would do without it," the grandmother of one said. "I'll play it in the evening, then I'll have a break and a cup of tea, then I'll go back to playing my Nintendo," she added. The Nintendo DS fan owns around a dozen games including Scrabble, Art Academy and Family Fortunes. She proudly admitted that Brain Trainer had scored her a mental age of 64-years-old - 36 years younger than her real age. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/17/17-beautiful-celebrities-with-mario-mustaches
MoogleViper Posted August 19, 2012 Author Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) They make some pretty good videos. Here are my favourites if anyone hasn't seen them before. Edited August 19, 2012 by MoogleViper
heroicjanitor Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Some of the compliments in the video sounded a bit sarcastic but cool idea! Better than a woman who wanted us to look at her lovely paintings the other day. She had them up on the railings of the green with all of the other artists, but hers were just various drawings of penises :p

I find it interesting to see how it affects his perception, but...seems dangerous? :s Edited August 20, 2012 by EddieColeslaw
