This isn’t a foul in the NBA.

game-changer.

I hate complaining about the refs in the NBA but in the playoffs I tend to do it every game (I apologize to my followers). Which is frustrating for a sport I love to too often get decided by this. I know I complain about it most when it happens to the Celtics or by the Heat, which is driven by my bias, I admit that (I like to think on all other accounts I’m pretty fair and balanced, but this drives me crazy). With that considered, this series is going to be so frustrating to watch. In this game we saw 33 personal fouls called against the Celtics. Pierce, Dooling, and Pietrus fouled out. We saw 18 against the Heat. The play above wasn’t called, it was tied with less than 2 minutes left in overtime. Immediately after this play the Heat ran down the floor and got a basket while Rondo was slow to get up. That was the game. It’s easy to lean on the lead in the NBA when it’s close to the end of the game. Let’s not even get me started on the technicals in game 1. OK, it’s out of my system. I won’t complain about the refs again… Until the next time the Heat play.

THIS. with the number of expletives i uttered after this play you would think i actually thought either of these teams had a shot against the spurs.

Streaming UK top 40 via itunes is pretty much the best.

100,000 LED Lights Illuminate a Japanese River

Tokyo Hotaru Festival 2012 took place recently, releasing 100,000 blue LED lights to float in the Sumida River. The bulbs rolled along the waves of the river bank, mimicking hotaru (the Japanese word for “fireflies”), for the festival that celebrates the Japanese tradition of watching fireflies float along a watercourse. The spectacular event lit up the waterway with a sparkling sapphire radiance against the night sky.

The solar-powered LED balls, known as prayer stars, were designed to illuminate when they came in contact with water and were provided by Panasonic, one of the event’s sponsors. At the close of the festival, the bulbs were gathered by giants nets and removed from the stream. 

+1 for you, Japan.
