The Hurley Highlight Reel

It's almost time folks. The countdown is to Lost is back on!Any good Lost fan has their clear alliances to certain characters. The ladies like Sawyer, the gays like Jack, and well, nobody likes Claire. Over the course of the last 3 seasons, my alliances have shifted quite drastically. At first, I was pretty down with Charlie, but he metamorphed into a raging vagina and he simply couldn’t die soon enough. Sayid has remained solid through and through, but his inconsistent airtime makes him a little hard to follow, but the one who never lets me down is Hurley. The man has done nothing but kick ass since day one against all odds. None of the cool people on the island want to give him any credit and a crunch time go-to-guy, but he always comes up big. Well today, Hurley gets his dues. We’re throwing together a haphazard tribute to the great moments of Hugo “Hurley” Reyes.Hurley jumpstarts the VWWhen everyone else was too scared; when nobody thought it could be done; when nobody believed it would start; when arms are sore - Hurley stepped up and did the unthinkable. He mustered up the courage to make his own luck. There is no curse… Fade up the gay Three Dog Night tune, because this baby runs!The only thing that pisses me off about this scene is they should have had some Comfortably Numb or a '77 Eyes of the World playing in that heady ride.Hurley Wrecks Shit in the VWYou thought the original VW scene was a strong feel good Hurley moment? Ha. This is maybe the most inspirational, goosebump inducing moment in Lost history. Just when it looks like the big rendevouz with the others has gone terribly awry, Hurley runs them down in his Vdub like he’s Jerome Bettis.The Inspirational CannonballThe weirdness award goes to… Hurley. I don’t even know what the hell this is about, but it’s damn funny. Hurley gets all emotional as it appears they are soon to be rescued and realizes that he hasn’t done a single cannonball the whole time they have been on the island. Unfortunately, it seems that all of the good real clips that illustrate the true oddity of this scene have been taken down, but here’s a nice mash up of it. I couldn’t some it up better than the title of one of the Spanish versions of this scene on youtube titled, “Hurley provoca un tsunami.”Dip That Shit in Ranch, SonLast but not least, another proud moment in Hurley’s island adventures occurred when the writers had to write in a plot line about Hurley sneaking food and dipping everything in ranch dressing, because he clearly gained about 40 pounds in the first month on the island. Again, the folks at ABC have stolen all the clips from youtube, so the best we could come up with is this strong tribute.

Escape from the traffic accident


In the crosswalk, I turned my head to the bus direction to see whether there're any cars, moving forward slowly ; Suddenly from behind an electric car slowly grazed, At the same time front men said, "scared to death of me", I responsed"I beg your pardon beg your pardon," he smiled. The woman sat behind said, "look and walk"

Then I just feel the heartbeat to speed up after a false alarm, Defended myself secretly IT'S THEY TRAVEL IN THE OPPASITE DIRECTION.

Lucky!? BAD LUCK, TODAY.

Pakistan urging residents to flee


Pakistan's government is lifting a curfew in the Swat valley to allow residents to escape an intense battle between the army and Taleban militants.
The curfew has trapped tens of thousands of people attempting to flee the violence.

celebrate the NATURALIST

if it wasn't for open minds, the chase for knowledge,and explorations on ships,i surely would not be communing with you today via virtual log.200 years ago, a role model for all of us was born.charles darwin was born with a hunch in the gut-that life was more than the upper class english culture he was raised in.at the age of twenty he boarded a ship called BEAGLE,and sailed around the world for 5 years,collecting fossils, writing and engaging fully with the natural world.changed man, changed world.a life committed to understanding the natural world,and how man has evolved within it,sounds like a mission to me.the darwin naturalist mission,inspires me to wonder, what an active explorer should be doing now.we have sailed the sea and gone to space,scientific studies are often now in laboratories in our minds, not aboard ships exploring desert islands...we have an obligation to explore unchartered territories,but so many adventurers have come before us.....the pressure is on- so wether you explore in song or thought,by foot or by air....find your ship, a partner or two, and eat it up xi am aiming to do the same..... eyes open everyday. some titles to ponder in honor of a man who sailed for us:Descent of Man to EmotionsThe Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to SexThe Formation of Vegetable Mould through the Action of Worms.xMAdMx

Who emigrate to the U.S.?


In 2008 there were about one million immigrants joined the American nationality.
Most of them from Mexico, of 18w, 11w which is entered through the family relationship.
The second from China, 7.5w, 2.5w in which people enter through the family relationship.
The third is India, 5.9w, 1.8w in which people enter through the family relationship.

Banking on the fund

The IMF is getting more resources to support the world economy. If it is to succeed, it needs more reformIT IS easy to be cynical about the recent G20 summit in London. There was lots of hoopla, but there were no new, substantial remedies for the global slump, whether in the form of co-ordinated stimulus or comprehensive plans to clean up banks. So the worlds leaders diverted attention with an old formula: bandying around big but squishy numbers and blathering about the importance of international institutions. Even by the standards of global summitry, the G20 communique was pretty brazen. It crowed about a concerted fiscal expansion of $5 trillion by the end of 2010, as well as $1.1 trillion in additional resources through international institutions like the IMF. The $5 trillion figure seems to be an estimate of how much public finances could deteriorate by the end of 2010not exactly the same as a planned fiscal boost. And the $1.1 trillion is even slipperier. Not only is $1.1 trillion of financing for international bodies not the same as $1.1 trillion of extra spending, the sum itself is inflated. As for the $250 billion of support for trade finance that the politicians said they would ensure, it is unclear where this will come from (see article). The amount of additional public money promised in London was a small fraction of that.
