Twilight Breaking Dawn part 2 Theme Song + Lyrics

A Thousand Years lyrics

(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

(Verse 2)
Time stands still
beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday

Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

It's time to vote for Parent of the Year

Lance Armstrong's response to doping allegations

Mankind: the Story of All of Us

Mankind The Story of All of Us narrated by Stephen Fry, is the first television series in a generation to look at the history of the human race through the ages, in a way that is highly ambitious in the scale of its cinematic vision, and uses dazzling CGI and dramatic reconstructions to bring to life the most critical events in human history.

From the creation of the planet billions of years ago, to the emergence of the first human species and evolution of man, this ambitious series from HISTORY presents a new perspective on our world history.

Who are we, how did we get here and what came before? Through state of the art production techniques, Mankind: The Story of All of Us links the past with the present, tracing humanity’s first steps out of Africa through the creation of empires to the globalised society of the 21st century. The series explores the connections that have shaped the modern world, providing a deeper understanding of how global discoveries have impacted on the world as we know it today.

This is a story of survival in a harsh brutal environment - against all odds. Where 99.9% of other species have perished throughout history, the human race struggled to overcome obstacles and adapt to changing environments in order to thrive. The series examines what is unique about us to have made humans the dominant species on the planet.

In each episode, the path of Mankind’s progress will be unlocked: from the first tools to the construction of the pyramids; the birth of agriculture and the revolutions in military technology; the Vikings landing in America and the discovery of new worlds, culminating in the industrial revolution and the making of the modern world. This is the story of the moments that changed history forever and made us who we are today.

The economics of doping – why it pays to cheat

By: Nick van der Leek

There is no question, our attitudes to doping are schizophrenic. While we deplore elite athletes who use performance enhancers, most people can’t start their day without one. One commercial company, Nestlé sees growth particularly in nutritional products that emphasise health, well-being and fitness.  Others go a step further. The maker of Creatine brag on its product labels that users of the product have previously won Olympic gold. Given society’s approach to nutrition and obsessions with appearances (from appetite suppressants used by teenagers to plastic surgery across the spectrum), it’s hardly surprising that doping is on the rise. ASA president James Evans notes skyrocketing numbers of positive tests amongst SA athletes of late. “I don’t know what’s going on,” Evans said in October 2012, “but doping in South African athletics is becoming a serious problem.”

For the man in the street, Lance Armstrong has become doping’s poster boy, and he’s likely to be in court for the foreseeable future, warding off claims to his ill-gotten gains. At the end of the process, at bears noting, he’s likely to be up on the whole deal. And this begs the question, is cheating worth it?
