""Μαμά βγήκα με τους φίλους μου.
Πήγα σε ένα πάρτυ και θυμήθηκα αυτό που μου είχες πει, να μην
πιω αλκοόλ.

Μου είχες ζητήσει να μην πιω επειδή θα έπρεπε να οδηγήσω μετά,
έτσι ήπια ένα αναψυκτικό. Ήμουν περήφανη για μένα, γιατί είχα
ακούσει αυτό που τόσο γλυκά με είχες συμβουλεύσει πριν φύγω, να μην πιω αν πρέπει
να οδηγήσω, σε αντίθεση με αυτό που μου έλεγαν οι φίλοι μου.

Έκανα τη σωστή επιλογή! Η συμβουλή σου ήταν η σωστή.
Όταν το πάρτυ τελείωσε όλοι μπήκαν στα αυτοκίνητά τους χωρίς να είναι
σε θέση να οδηγήσουν. Εγώ πήρα το αμάξι μου. Ήμουν σίγουρη ότι
ήμουν καθαρή.
Δεν μπορούσα να φανταστώ μαμά αυτό που με περίμενε .....
Τώρα είμαι εδώ ξαπλωμένη στην άσφαλτο και ακούω έναν αστυνομικό να
λέει «το παιδί που προκάλεσε το δυστύχημα ήταν μεθυσμένο».
Μαμά η φωνή του ακούγεται τόσο μακρυνή.
Το αίμα μου είναι παντού στην άσφαλτο και εγώ προσπαθώ με όλες μου τις
δυνάμεις να μην κλάψω.
Ακούω τους γιατρούς να λένε ότι αυτή η κοπέλα δεν θα τα
καταφέρει.
Είμαι σίγουρη ότι το άλλο παιδί που οδηγούσε δεν το είχε καν
φανταστεί όταν έτρεχε τόσο πολύ.
Στο τέλος, αυτός είχε αποφασίσει να πιει και εγώ τώρα πρέπει να
πεθάνω.
Γιατί το κάνουν αυτό μαμά? Αφού ξέρουν ότι θα καταστρέψουν ζωές?
Ο πόνος που νιώθω είναι σαν να με καρφώνουν χιλιάδες μαχαίρια.
Πες στην αδερφή μου να μην φοβηθεί, στον μπαμπά να είναι δυνατός.
Κάποιος έπρεπε να πει σε αυτό το παιδί ότι δεν έπρεπε να πιει αν
θα οδηγούσε.

Ίσως αν του το έλεγαν οι δικοί του όπως έκανες εσύ, τώρα να ήμουν
ζωντανή .....

Η ανάσα μου γίνεται όλο και πιο αδύνατη και αρχίζω να φοβάμαι
μαμά..
Αυτές είναι οι τελευταίες μου στιγμές και είμαι τόσο απελπισμένη.
Θα ήθελα τόσο να σε αγκαλιάσω μαμά....και να σου πω πόσο σε αγαπάω
Σε αγαπάω μαμά....αντίο!!!


Αυτές οι λέξεις γράφτηκαν από μια δημοσιογράφο που ήταν παρούσα σε
ένα δυστύχημα.
Η κοπέλα ενώ πέθαινε ψυθίριζε αυτές τις λεξεις και η δημοσιογράφος
τις έγραφε σοκαρισμένη.
Η ίδια δημοσιογράφος άρχισε μια εκστρατεία εναντίον της οδήγησης
υπό την επήρρεια Αλκοόλ.


Αν αυτό το μήνυμα έφτασε σε εσένα και το διαγράψεις, χάνεις την
ευκαιρία, ακόμα και αν δεν πίνεις να δώσεις στους άλλους να
καταλάβουν ότι και η δική σου ζωή κινδυνεύει .
Αυτή η μικρή χειρονομία μπορεί να κάνει τη διαφορά""

I don't post on this board very often, and I apologise in advance if this kind of question is being posted all the time. It's just something that interests me though. Are high taxes or low taxes better for a country's economy? I would appreciate any views or comments.

Cheers.

Is he falling in love too?
I've had this guy friend for a year but he lives in another state. We knew each other before but not very well. Also flirted when chatting a few times and there is chemistry. A few days ago, we met and made out...but not full sex as I said I didnt want to so soon. I've heard that if a guy wants sex very early on, it means hes out for a fling. Is this true? We're meeting again shortly but I feel embarassed about moving quite intimate and I dont know why I feel like this. The thing is there was a lot of passion. I just want to know what are the signs to look for that he is also falling for me? he is a decent guy.

The broadcast industry is moving toward conversion of our system to High Definition Television (HDTV), a conversion which presumably will be complete sometime in this decade. This is good news. HDTV is better than EDTV, and much better than regular TV for two reasons. First, it increases the number of scan lines on the screen, so you get much more picture clarity and detail. Second, it gives you a wider picture that looks more like a movie theater screen rather than the old, almost square TV.

So how many more scanlines do you get? Well, there are two popular HDTV formats in use. One is called 1080i, and the other is 720p. But don't worry, there are no format wars to worry about. All digital projectors and digital HDTVs take both formats. The fact is that ABC, ESPN, and Fox broadcast in 720p, while CBS, NBC, HDNet and others use 1080i. Both formats produce great pictures that are a leap forward over regular television. And you will never know the difference. If you are watching Everybody Loves Raymond in high definition on Monday night, and you flip to ABC to see what is happening on Monday Night Football, your projector or HDTV will automatically switch from 1080i to 720p without you even knowing it. All you will be aware of is that both channels look a lot better than they used to with an amazingly clear and detailed widescreen picture.

For those who want a bit more technical explanation, we can say that both formats feature the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio that defines HDTV. However, the 1080i format has 1080 lines for each frame of video, whereas the 720p format has 720 lines. A lot of people think 1080i is preferred because it has more scanlines, and thus is capable of more picture detail. However, since there is so much data in the 1080-line format, each frame must be separated into even and odd lines and broadcast a half frame at a time in interlaced format, just like the current TV broadcast system. This can introduce the same type of artifacts as we see today, but they are smaller and less noticeable since there are so many scanlines.

The alternative HDTV format is 720-lines progressive scan, or 720p. Though it has fewer lines, the native progressive scan format eliminates motion artifacts that originate in interlacing. So for subject matter that contains a lot of rapid motion—NFL Football for example--you can get a clearer, more stable picture from 720p than you can from 1080i. Alternatively, for subject matter that has very little motion, 1080i is capable of rendering more picture detail.

The truth is that 1080i and 720p are both excellent HDTV formats. One is not better than the other; they are just each better with particular types of subject matter. When done right, both are clearly superior to the 480-line format we have today. And best of all, you will never have to worry about it because your projector or HDTV will sort it all out for you anyway.

I live in a log cabin in Cypress Gardens, Florida, right at the corner of Elm and Maple Streets, and have been thinking about a trip to South America. I want to branch out a little more. I am not whole without a wife, and would like to visit the Virgin Forest before they run out. (Hey, when you spruce me up, I’m not so bad.)

But dreaming about it while sitting in my Barcalounger listening to the Oak Ridge Boys on my Kenwood stereo while knocking ash out of my pipe is one thing, actually boarding a ship to do it is another. You know that old chestnut about “be careful what you wish for.”

I thought I would go because my travel agent claims he can get cheap tickets in Laurel, MD, but I worry that a shady deal could lead to some knotty problems. I worry about even being allowed to board, or that I might be made to walk the plank if they find out the price I paid. Wouldn’t you worry? But with a price that good, how hard would you examine the details. Of course, if things went bad, I could sue Mac.

Besides that, I have a cornucopia of other reasons to doubt embarking on such a trip. I am not that tough (you won’t find any people like Old Hickory in my family tree). Lumbering around on a barque for weeks might be difficult, since I am not as limber as I used to be. I would enjoy the beaches at the island stops, but I would still pine for the rest of the Woods family. (If I had a dog, would I be as lonely?) I think I might be barking up the wrong tree.

So, what would you do? Embark, or ax the idea.

My girlfriend and I broke up literally 2 weeks ago out of a serious 2 year relationship, in that 2 weeks she got a new job and met someone at work. I spoke with her a couple days ago and she has a b/f now, she said she wishes we never broke up and this is her way of moving on, cause she's afraid to be lonely. Don't you think its too early for her to be in a relationship?? i mean come one this is like jr high kind of ****.
