IPod
IPod is a brand of portable media players designed and marketed by Apple Inc. and launched on October 23, 2001. As of 2008, the product line-up includes the hard drive-based iPod Classic, the touchscreen iPod Touch, the video-capable iPod Nano, the screenless iPod Shuffle and the iPhone. Former products include the compact iPod Mini and the spin-off iPod Photo (since reintegrated into the main iPod Classic line). iPod Classic models store media on an internal hard drive, while all other models use flash memory to enable their smaller size (the discontinued Mini used a Microdrive miniature hard drive). As with many other digital music players, iPods, excluding the iPod Touch, can also serve as external data storage devices. Storage capacity varies by model.Apple's iTunes software can be used to transfer music to the devices from computers using certain versions of Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows operating systems.For users who choose not to use Apple's software or whose computers cannot run iTunes software, several open source alternatives to iTunes are also available. iTunes and its alternatives may also transfer photos, videos, games, contact information, e-mail settings, Web bookmarks, and calendars to iPod models supporting those features. Apple focused its development on the iPod line's unique user interface and its ease of use, rather than on technical capability. As of September 2007, more than 150 million iPods had been sold worldwide, making it the best-selling digital audio player series in history.
Ipod is the best and complete music player that everyone need buy it…..

Arsenal vs Fenerbahce: Intriguing matchups
A very favourable match up for Arsenal:
Theo Walcott vs Roberto Carlos
Roberto Carlos, a former Galactico pitting his 35 year old frame against the blistering pace of 19 year old Theo Walcott down the left. Carlos has lost a step or two and this should be Walcott's day on the field to exploit the space provided. Look for a very active day down this flank. Walcott should not be hesitant to pull the trigger since it seems to take RVP and Adebayor a lot longer to warm up in these international fixtures.
The X factors:
Emmanuel Eboue vs Kazim Kazim
Emmanuel Eboue in his more circumscribed role as right back. Lets hope he remembers that his primary role is to defend. He will be dragged out wide by Kazim Kazim aka Kazim Colin Richards in his English version. Eboue should eschew his penchant for nifty foot skills in 50- 50 situations for an old fashioned clearing boot deep into opponent territory.
Mikael Silvestre vs Dani Guiza and Semih Senturk
Mikael Silvestre: Short of recent match experience and coming back from injury. Will have to pair Djorou to stop the opportunistic Dani Guiza and Semih Senturk with their talent for out-positioning their markers and scoring goals through deflections and headers.

Xavi Named Euro 2008 Player of the Tournament
And guess who UEFA has named as player of the tournament this morning? That’s right: Xavi Hernández.
I’m pretty sure UEFA did this just to make me look bad. And it seems a slightly odd choice, perhaps influenced by being chosen so soon after the final?
But in a lot of ways Xavi makes perfect sense. There really wasn’t one outstanding, dominant player at Euro 2008. But there was some top notch teamwork, especially in Spain’s midfield.
Instead of trying to pick the player who stood out the most, as I did last night, seems UEFA have given their Player of the Tournament award to a man who symbolizes all that teamwork.
So as the man who made Spain’s midfield tick, Xavi deserves the prize. Lots of smart short passing that made Spain’s possession game possible, and some inch perfect through balls, like the one for Fernando Torres’ winner last night. “It was him who gave the team its tempo,” said Uefa technical director Andy Roxburgh. I’m not going to argue with him.
Well, maybe a little. I still stand by my original choice of Iker Casillas. Yes, Xavi had a good tournament, but there was at least one occasion (against Italy in the quarter-finals comes to mind) where he was replaced by Cesc Fabregas, and Cesc looked a lot more effective.
Meanwhile Casillas pulled out all kinds of great saves, and made zero blunders. There was never any danger of him being replaced by Pepe Reina for the final 30 minutes.
But as a representative of the kind of football that won the tournament, Xavi makes sense. So congratulations to him and to the whole Spanish squad for a great team performance.
UEFA also named a 23 man squad of the tournament, like so:
Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), Iker Casillas (Spain), Edwin van der Sar (Holland); Jose Bosingwa (Portugal), Philipp Lahm (Germany), Carlos Marchena (Spain), Pepe (Portugal), Carles Puyol (Spain), Yuri Zhirkov (Russia); Hamit Altintop (Turkey), Luka Modric (Croatia), Marcos Senna (Spain), Xavi (Spain), Konstantin Zyryanov (Russia), Michael Ballack (Germany), Cesc Fabregas (Spain), Andres Iniesta (Spain), Lukas Podolski (Germany), Wesley Sneijder (Holland); Andrei Arshavin (Russia), Roman Pavlyuchenko (Russia), Fernando Torres (Spain), David Villa (Spain)

JS Mill and the banking crisis
Culture and commerce take turns as the engines of innovation in our world, and you might say both of them have fallen relatively silent. Without them we are vulnerable to "prevailing opinion and feeling" and the eagerness of people to impose terms.
Protection...against the tyranny of the magistrate is not enough: there needs protection also against the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling; against the tendency of society to impose, by other means than civil penalties, its own ideas and practices as rules of conduct on those who dissent from them, to fetter the development, and, if possible, prevent the formation, of any individuality not in harmony with its ways and compel all characters to fashion themselves upon the model of its own. (JS Mill, On Liberty)
To take the obvious example, I wonder if the capital that animated Silicon Valley a few years ago would be available this time around? Or does a government hand in the marketplace discourage risk and innovation?
My society
I was watching Scrubs last night and I heard this song during the episode. It’s called “Ain’t no reason” by Bret Drennen. Now I couldn’t hear the lyrics exactly on the count of it was just playing in the background of the episode, but I caught a few phrases and the guitar sounded lovely, so I searched the song online and I found it on youtube along with its music video. I watched the video and realized what the song was about. It was a song about the world today and all the social issues that are in it.
The message of the song is simple: we as human beings most of the time, live our lives without thinking about the problems that the world faces. Personally, we might not be facing them or they might not be affecting us directly, but they’re still around. A lot of people take for granted the easy, normal lives that lead. They forget that behind the pleasure and luxury that they enjoy everyday, there are people suffering somewhere else. A lot of people say that they have problems that they can’t deal with, or that their lives are so off-track that they don’t know what they can do to fix. But what they don’t seem to understand or realize is that their problems are probably, nay most likely, mediocre when compared to those that are being faced world-wide.
We see these problems on TV all the time; global warming, oil leakage into our ocean, the war in Iraq, starving third world countries, unfair labor practices overseas, etc. All these issues were mentioned in the video. And when you watch it, you can’t help but feel a little bit guilty about not being able to do anything about these problems. It’s a dilemma really. The easiest one I can think of is the unfair labor practices. I don’t know about everyone else, but I know that most my clothes and shoes were probably made overseas and might be by workers who are underage, suffering from low wages, or working in an unsafe environment against their will. But here’s the kicker: I continue to buy sneakers made by Nike despite knowing that in the 1990s, they were in lawsuits for unfair labor practices in Vietnam. Am I to blame? Probably to certain to extent. But what are we supposed to do? The fact of the matter is, most of the clothing companies today are probably doing something that seems unethical in order produce and manufacture their products. So we can stop buying from one company and move on to the next, but what makes us so sure that this one doesn’t do the same thing, if not something worse?
It’s hard to admit, but there are just some things in life that we regular, every-day people cannot control. There are just problems that we can’t fix. And there are just decisions we can’t really make. I guess the bottomline is, it’s amazing how much we take for granted everyday; the amount of complaining and bitching we as Americans do; and the big deal of so very little things that we encounter.
If you wanna check it out, here’s the song and video on youtube:
Is war necessary ?
WAR, (Wrathful Armed Rudity), this is how I would expand it, if possible. The world has seen many wars in its history, and the history continues. While exploring on the reasons for those wars/battles, we can list the following as reasons:
* Acquisition of land
* Revenge
* Retain power
* Retain individual prestige
* Freedom(the least cause of wars)
In ancient days, where humans were in the starting stage of the transition from animals to humans, they could not hide the behaviour(rudity) of animals. So, the easiest way for them to tackle a problem is fighting against their enemies. But, if you believe the transition has occurred, there is no point in still fighting.
With the ’sixth sense’(if there is really a thing like that), humans must think on their activities. Wars have brought in a great loss in lives, capital, dignity, freedom, etc. ever from its first occurrence. Eventhough, if humans were unable to think on the consequences of wars, he must have atleast learnt from its consequences. But, none of them happened.
Why dont people think that they are not going to take the above said reasons with them after death ? In their lifetime, why dont they be helpful to others, without harming others ? Why dont they use the money spent on wars to others needing them ?
Life is beautiful, but only when someone allows you to live in.
So, promote love and appreciate peaceful way of solving any problems.Rambo4 Synopsis
That all changes when a group of human rights missionaries search out the "American river guide" John Rambo. When Sarah (JULIE BENZ) and Michael Bennett (PAUL SCHULZE) approach him, they explain that since last year's trek to the refugee camps, the Burmese military has laid landmines along the road, making it too dangerous for overland travel. They ask Rambo to guide them up the Salween and drop them off, so they can deliver medical supplies and food to the Karen tribe. After initially refusing to cross into Burma, Rambo takes them, dropping off Sarah, Michael and the aid workers...
Less than two weeks later, pastor Arthur Marsh (KEN HOWARD) finds Rambo and tells him the aid workers did not return and the embassies have not helped locate them. He tells Rambo he's mortgaged his home and raised money from his congregation to hire mercenaries to get the missionaries, who are being held captive by the Burmese army. Although the United States military trained him to be a lethal super soldier in Vietnam, decades later Rambo's reluctance for violence and conflict are palpable, his scars faded, yet visible. However, the lone warrior knows what he must do...
Sylvester Stallone writes, directs, produces and stars as John Rambo in RAMBO TO HELL AND BACK, filmed on location in and around Chiang Mai, Thailand. Also starring are Julie Benz ("Dexter"), Matthew Marsden (RESIDENT EVIL; EXTINCTION, BLACK HAWK DOWN), Graham McTavish (HBO's "Rome"), Rey Gallegos (AMERICAN WEDDING), Jake LaBotz (GHOST WORLD), Tim Kang ("Third Watch") and Paul Schulze ("The Sopranos").

The x-files
Each successive season of The X-Files ended with a cliffhanger, ranging from the murder of Mulder's information source "Deep Throat" (Jerry Hardin) to the birth of a mutant child who may or may not have belonged to one of the agents. No matter what happened, the physical evidence proving (or disproving) alien intervention invariably disappeared, and it was abundantly clear that there were those within the government who didn't want the truth to come out. Among the most obstreperous of Mulder and Scully's antagonists was a ubiquitous, obnoxious stranger (William B. Davis), known variously as "Cancer Man" and "Cigarette Smoking Man," and finally identified as one C.G.B. Spender. Other regulars and semi-regulars over the years have included Mitch Pileggi as Mulder and Scully's boss, Assistant FBI Director Walter Skinner; Steven Williams as Mr. X, another enigmatic information source; Nicholas Lea as Agent Alex Krycek; Mimi Rogers as Agent Diana Fowley; Chris Owens as Agent Jeffrey Spender; and Tom Braidwood as Melvin Frohike, a member of a government "conspiracy watchdog" group known as The Lone Gunman. One of the most popular series ever to emanate from Fox, The X-Files was also one of the longest-lasting science fiction series of all time, surpassed in longevity only by the endless Star Trek saga. In 1998, the series spawned a successful theatrical feature, also titled The X-Files, which tied up several loose plot ends from the series while establishing a whole new set of mysterious complications. The X-Files was created and executive-produced by Chris Carter. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Whats the difference between a good actor and a bad one?
A bad actor doesn't listen to their partners, they care more about making a good impression than telling the story. They try hard to make the audience laugh, they try hard to make the audience cry. They don't have the talent to live in the character. A bad actor is someone other actors don't trust.
