83 diggs There has been a long history of security guards and skateboarders not getting along. The main problem, security guards take their jobs way too personally. The scene is usually set at a college campus or on private property that has known skate spots. In a lot of cases, the whole reason there are security guards is because of skateboarders, ironic, isnt it? Well just have to save that debate for another day. Anyway, the security guard is patrolling a particular place kids go, then they end up calling the cops or doing something else to start a confrontation with skaters. The skateboarders are already bummed that they have traveled to their favorite skate spot to only have it shut down. If the security guard has a chip on his shoulder or is insulting, of course a juvinile male is going to stand up for himself. This almost always means cussing out the security guard and like in the videos below, it can also get physical. Some guys are skateboarding when a security guard comes up and starts pushing them around. A fight starts and is caught on video. The tape was turned into the security guards supervisor and he was fired for non-professionalism. The guard was the one with the problem,if you watch the video, the security guard was looking for a fight, he would get right upon that kid and the kid showed no defensive posture, he just froze then the egomaniac guard took the skateboard and the guard got his ass whooped. The president of the Baltimore police union, Robert Cherry, lashed out at the citys police commissioner who fired the police offer who three years ago berated a 14-year-old skateboarder at the Inner Harbor. The incident was capture on video and posted to YouTube. A police disciplinary panel had acquitted officer Salvatore Rivieri of the most serious charges, using excessive and unnecessary force and discourtesies. The panel instead convicted the officer of administrative charges of failing to file a report and recommended a five-day suspension. Kids skate near a church in Australia and a old priest comes out and punches one of them then curses and discriminate their race. I dont get how a holy man could swear so much and be such a racist not to mention violent his defence is they were trespassing on private property. I thought churches were public places for everybody?

66 diggs Tummy growls are really just internal farts, according to Indiana Public Media's "A Moment of Science." Basically, the involuntary muscle movements that push food through your digestive tract keep working even after most of that food has moved on down the line. Eventually, gas bubbles are all that's left to be squeezed, and you get a rumbling sound as they pop. It's part of how your intestine keeps itself cleansed—no expensive pills or powders required! The same contractions that cause your stomach to growl also clean out the GI tract. To see how this cleaning movement works, picture a long hose made of a pliable material. If there were an object, say an egg, at one end of the hose, you could push it from that end to the other by squeezing all along the length of the hose. ... In order to push out bits of food particles left over from a meal, your gastrointestinal tract creates waves of contractions all along the length of the intestines at a rate of two or three per minute.

71 diggs If you think back to 2005, you'll remember that the Motorola RAZR phone was all the rage. Not entirely unlike the iPhone today, it was the sleek phone that everyone wanted. But if you happened to be on the largest carrier in the U.S., Verizon, you couldn't get one. Again, sound familiar? It wasn't until just about a year later that a version (the V3c) finally came to Verizon. It was a long wait, but I was excited to finally have access to the device, I pre-ordered one the first day I could. When I finally got it, there were some surprises in store. Rather than having the same colorful user interface that my friends' RAZRs (on other networks) had, it had some god-awful red proprietary UI made by Verizon itself. It also came with the added bonus of having Bluetooth file transfer capabilities disabled by Verizon. And it was loaded to the brim with Verizon's V CAST garbage. So while part of the wait was undoubtedly due to Motorola getting a CDMA version of the device ready to sell, a bigger part was likely Verizon negotiating and working to load the device up with their crapware. That doesn't speak well for the supposed Verizon iPhone.
