VIN DIESEL'S TRIBUTE TO A BROTHER (PAUL WALKER)

Vin Diesel describes how he broke down in tears while visiting the grieving mother of his Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker. Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel has spoken on Facebook about a touching visit to Paul Walker's mother following the death of the 40-year-old actor. Diesel revealed how he flew back to California when he heard Walker had died in the crash and "went directly from the plane to his (Walker's) mother's house". "I thought they needed my strength, but realised when I got there and broke down before his family, that it was I who needed theirs," he wrote on Facebook. "His mother hugged me and said 'I am so sorry' … I said: 'Sorry? You're the mother who lost a son?'... She said: 'Yes, but you lost your other half'." Walker died of the 'combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries' In the post, he paid tribute to Walker, saying: "I will always love you Brian (O'Conner, his character in the movie franchise), as the brother you were … on and off screen". Walker, who starred in all but one of the Fast & Furious films, was killed when the Porsche he was a passenger in smashed into a lamp-post and a tree before bursting into flames last Saturday. A coroner ruled that said he died from the "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries". As a result of the tragedy, Universal Pictures has announced it is delaying filming of Fast & Furious 7. Other Fast & Furious co-stars have also spoken of Walker's death. Co-star Tyrese Gibson cried as he visited a memorial left at the scene of the crash, reportedly taking a piece of the wreckage in memory of his friend. Ludacris, who has appeared in the film franchise, said on Twitter: "Your humble spirit was felt from the start. Wherever you blessed your presence you always left a mark, we were like brothers."

97 years old rapist declared not fit for trial

A 97-YEAR-OLD man, Lionel Veck, accused of raping and indecently assaulting a child is not fit to stand trial, a judge has ruled.

He had denied one count of rape and two counts of indecently assaulting a woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, between 1972 and 1977 when she was aged under 16. Veck, who was thought to be Britain’s oldest competitive cyclist when he took part in a 10-mile time trial between Havant and Chichester in 2011, was initially found fit to stand trial at a court hearing in September. The decision followed the results of a psychiatric report. But prosecutor Kerry Maylin applied for the proceedings against Veck to be stayed during a brief hearing at Portsmouth Crown Court.

Every seconds of every minutes of every hour of every day of every …(you know the rest) is appropriated living only no time to catch your breathe. In the end so much is achieved with so much at stake. With time you begin to live your dreams alongside its nightmare. You, a man, next most powerful creature to god, now become a slave to the abstract, a slave of TIME. I have seen organized people who have everything meticulously planned but still wail over poverty of time. Some even feel cheated saying God isn’t fair to have made a day only 24 hours and not more. But the question really is, is man the problem or time? Let’s take a look at the smallest unit of time known to us all, the frame of reference of all happenings and happenstances, the second. It takes a man only a second to die. It ta
