► 2012 Voting Machines Altering Votes. Published on Nov 6, 2012 by centralpavote. ::My wife and I went to the voting booths this morning before work. There were 4 older ladies running the show and 3 voting booths that are similar to a science fair project in how they fold up. They had an oval VOTE logo on top center and a cartridge slot on the left that the volunteers used to start your ballot.I initially selected Obama but Romney was highlighted. I assumed it was being picky so I deselected Romney and tried Obama again, this time more carefully, and still got Romney. Being a software developer, I immediately went into troubleshoot mode. I first thought the calibration was off and tried selecting Jill Stein to actually highlight Obama. Nope. Jill Stein was selected just fine. Next I deselected her and started at the top of Romney's name and started tapping very closely together to find the 'active areas'. From the top of Romney's button down to the bottom of the black checkbox beside Obama's name was all active for Romney. From the bottom of that same checkbox to the bottom of the Obama button (basically a small white sliver) is what let me choose Obama. Stein's button was fine. All other buttons worked fine.I asked the voters on either side of me if they had any problems and they reported they did not. I then called over a volunteer to have a look at it. She him hawed for a bit then calmly said "It's nothing to worry about, everything will be OK." and went back to what she was doing. I then recorded this video.There is a lot of speculation that the footage is edited. I'm not a video guy, but if it's possible to prove whether a video has been altered or not, I will GLADLY provide the raw footage to anyone who is willing to do so. The jumping frames are a result of the shitty camera app on my Android phone, nothing more. Interviews have been granted to: Al Jazeera
► The Only Man In The World Who Can Swim With A Polar Bear. Published on Apr 11, 2012 by barcroftmedia . ABBOTSFORD, CANADA: Grizzly man Mark Dumas, 60, is the only man in the world who can touch a polar bear. And as these incredible pictures show the fearless bear handler from Abbotsford, British Columbia, even goes for dip in his swimming pool where he and 16-year-old polar bear Agee enjoy a watery cuddle together. Mark and wife Dawn, 60, train the 60-stone (800lb) friendly beast - the world's largest land predator - to star in high-budget TV adverts. She has even performed in movies like 'Alaska' in 1995 when she was just a few weeks old. With his incredibly intimate bond Mark wrestles on the grass with Agee, kisses her, puts his head in her huge jaws, and even bear hugs her as she rears up on her hind legs to over seven feet. Mark and Dawn have owned Agee since she was six weeks old and the colossal mammal even lived in their home as a cub where she played with the family dogs and was bottle fed.

► Facing Fear: Diver finds 'harmony' with sharks. Published on Nov 11, 2012 by RussiaToday. :: A world champion free diver amazed spectators at France's largest aquarium by swimming with sharks. Pierre Frolla said he had been afraid of sharks in the past and it was only by regularly swimming with them he was able to overcome his fear. According to the diver, sharks are not dangerous if certain rules are followed while approaching them. "We should be calm when diving into the sea, we should be relaxed; there is also a rule of harmony: we should perform calmly, harmoniously, relaxed. We should present ourselves to the animal, and it will decide if it will come or not."

Frolla, who hails from Monaco, is multiple record holder for diving without the use of breathing apparatus. (VIDEO)

Plane. Go away. Haa! It's my expertise, though I've to go with a shattered heart and undirected steps. Well, I can go much further than this continent. Then all will be more misguided. Getting crushed again, maybe my heart -- when the time comes -- is no longer a heart-shaped, but it has evaporated. Into the air. Not to be inhaled, actually. In the blue sky. Ouch,...very tempting. Tingtingting. Tingting. Ting. Ting.
Dahliiing, I really want to go home,... but I hate to leave you.
Are you breathing right now? Can you feel my heart?
