Privacy Details. 300 Suns. Aliens have arrived with capabilities we can hardly imagine. But they refuse to communicate with us Why do they ignore us, and what do they want? Tom Kingsley is an astronomer at the right place and the right time to get the first photographs of the alien spacecraft. As a result, he becomes the leading scientific expert on the aliens and their technology. (When you are the only one in a field, you are the expert.) Tom and his team work to understand the science behind the aliens' remarkable and overwhelming technologies and the powerful and bright "stars" that they begin to place in orbit about the earth. As governments, the scientific community, and ordinary people try to understand and deal with the situation, the number of these "stars" slowly increases. Soon the Earth will grow warmer. And neither Tom, nor anyone else, can imagine a peaceful purpose for these "stars." This is a hard science fiction novel situated in the very near future. It is written by a former "rocket scientist" and part-time engineering professor. It contains a brief appendix for those who desire a more detailed explanation of the science that is the basis of this novel. Vis mere Vis mindre. Vis mere Vis mindre. Vis mere Vis mindre.

Suns, Sonics set NBA record for 3-pointers. PHOENIX (AP) -- It was an unofficial turn-back-the-clock night in Phoenix, to the days when everybody in the NBA loved to run and shoot, and nobody played much defense. Ray Allen made a 30-footer at the second-overtime buzzer to break the NBA record for most combined 3-pointers in a game, giving the Seattle SuperSonics a 152-149 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night in the league's highest-scoring game in 11 years. "When I was open, I just knew it was time to make a shot," Allen said. The teams combined for 32 3-pointers, breaking the mark of 31 set by Toronto and Philadelphia on March 13, 2005. The 301 points were the most in a game since Dallas beat Houston 156-147 in two overtimes on April 11, 1995, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. It was the first 150-point game in the NBA since the Los Angeles Clippers beat Toronto 152-120 on March 15, 1998. Allen scored 42, including 8-of-16 3s, and Luke Ridnour a career-high 30 as the Sonics snapped a four-game losing streak and handed Phoenix its first home loss in seven games. Thirty-two of Allen's points came after the third quarter. "One thing about Ray Allen, at some point he's going to make shots," Sonics coach Bob Hill said. In the first three quarters, Allen made 4-of-15 shots and was 0-for-6 on 3s. In the fourth quarter and two overtimes, he was 10-for-13, 8-for-10 on 3s. "He was obviously unbelievable," the Suns' Steve Nash said. "He just got in rhythm. I don't think it mattered what kind of look he got, he was just making shots." Allen said he was upset with himself for his play through three quarters. But, he said, "as a shooter, I always got to keep shooting it." Shawn Marion had 37 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots, and Raja Bell scored a career-best 31 for the Suns. Nash had 28 points and 16 assists. Bell's 18-footer with 11 seconds to play tied it at 149 and Boris Diaw fouled Rashard Lewis with 2.5 seconds to play. The Sonics weren't in the penalty, so they took the ball out of bounds. Two defenders followed Rashard Lewis toward the baskket, so Ridnour inbounded the ball to Allen at midcourt. Allen dribbled once and let it fly from far beyond the top of the key. "How do you explain a guy knocking down a 30-some footer to win a game," Bell said. "It's not really luck, but it's a tough thing to explain. It just happens." The Sonics improved to 3-7 since coach Bob Weiss was fired and replaced by Hill. "It's a very, very good win for us," Hill said. "I hope it's a breakthrough win for us, and we can build from this." Lewis had shots blocked by Marion at the end of regulation and Kurt Thomas at the end of the first overtime. After a 24-second violation against Seattle with 14 seconds to play in the first overtime, the Suns had a chance to win it. But Ridnour knocked the ball loose from Nash, and the Suns' playmaker hit it last as it went out of bounds. Lewis worked the baseline, but Thomas blocked his shot at the rim as the buzzer sounded. Allen's 3-pointer, over Nash, put Seattle ahead 126-124 with 4.4 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Bell threw inbounds to Diaw, who hit Nash for the game-tying reverse layup over Allen with 1.6 seconds to go. Marion blocked Lewis' 16-foot attempt at the buzzer. Marion had given the Suns a 124-123 lead with a breakaway stuff after a Seattle turnover with 15 seconds to go. But after a timeout, a defensive switch put the much smaller Nash on Allen, and the Seattle star stepped back to make his fifth 3-pointer in 11 tries. It began a string of four 3s in five attempts. "I thought we definitely started off sloppy," Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni said. "It took us a while for whatever reason. We played a heck of a game and fought back. We battled shot for shot." Down by 13 twice in the first half, the Suns got it going in the third quarter, making 12 of their first 14 shots, including 7-of-7 3-pointers. They matched by Ridnour, though, who was 7-for-7 shooting his 16-point third quarter. Game notes A pair of French players were lifted from their usual starting spots, Phoenix's Diaw and Seattle's Johan Petro. . The Suns leave Monday for Orlando to start an eight-game road trip, their longest of the season. . Phoenix is 0-4 in games that last two overtimes or longer. . The 152 points was third most in franchise history for Seattle while the 149 was fifth best for the Suns. 300 спартанцев.

The key of Zack Zinder's epic style of film was to take the action event and turn it into a mythology He wanted to get to the essence of the Spartans, and to show us the story of a handful of soldiers willing to risk all for a larger western concept of freedom and liberty. "300" is an interpretation of a complex historical event, the collision of cultures that continues to this day Spartan warriors and Persian soldiers were probably the most extreme cultures of that moment. They were interesting elements of truth in Zinder's movie: The Spartans were not like the Athenians They lived under more barbaric rules Every Spartan was a soldier They fight as a specialized unit ("That's the source of our strength!"). Once they get this right group of iron, brass and muscles they become almost undefeatable ("Today no Spartans die!"). If you're a Spartan citizen you're a soldier ("Spartans! What is your profession?"), you're a pure warrior struggling for justice and for what you believe is true The Spartans remain a mystery to everybody They were, probably, unique Till the day of the clash, they have never met an adversary who could offer them what they call 'a beautiful death.' They only were hoping with all the massive army gathered against them, there might be one down there who's up to the task ("Spartans! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty. For tonight, we dine in hell!"). Both the Spartans and Samurai warriors were comparably fierce and passionate ("No prisoners! No mercy!"). They were raging soldiers ("Give them nothing but take from them everything!") But at the same time they had an absolute code of honor on the essence of being a Spartan And it's cruel, very cruel When a boy was born, he was inspected If he's been sick or deformed, the child is murdered From the time he could stand, he was taught not to retreat, never to surrender He was taught that death on the battlefield in service to Sparta was the greatest glory he could achieve in his life At the age of seven, all the boys were taken away from their mothers and plunged into a world of violence, turning them into growing men, ultimate warriors the world has ever known. King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) was a legendary hero, somebody special His name was the descendant of lions He was very powerful, very thoughtful and perhaps in the film far more human than he is even in the graphic novel. Leonidas was a practical man whose life is matched by a straight road to one gleaming moment in destiny and that day, he couldn't meekly swallow the insult of Sparta's submission to the world of Xerxes "This is Sparta!," as he shouted to Xerxes' emissary, affirming that there is no softness, no place for weakness, and only the hard and strong may call themselves Spartans. What I loved about Leonidas was his needs, in his moment of indecision, of a back-up, maybe a second opinion, some assurance of his wife Queen Gorgo So we see him, both times, looking to his wife. Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) was a great character not only in the film but in history She was sexy and beautiful and above all tough and aggressive There was intensity, elegance and ability in her Also a kind of femininity in her nobility. There's only one moment when she loses it at the end and it was not a breakdown. We know lot of Queen Gorgo thanks to Herodotus, the father of the history, who chooses to write about her which clearly demonstrate she was significant Spartan women were special anyway, they were incredibly beautiful and Sparta was the land of beautiful women They were beautiful because they were physically fit, because they were allowed to exercise They were not repressed and were considered incredibly potent Gorgo could speak among men because as she affirmed it before the Persian emissary: "Only Spartan women give birth to real men!" Gorgo's one love scene with Leonidas and the dialogue beforehand, was powerful: "It is not a question of what a Spartan citizen SHOULD do nor a husband, nor a king. Instead ask yourself, my dearest love, what should a free man do?" Brutally violent and completely faithful to Miller's work, Zinder's "300" is inspiring, brave, and bloody artistic film.
