Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska

There is one small twist in the whole story, the philosophy of positivism that sometimes results in better results than otherwise. Taylor took it all well, “21 points that is what you give to Taylor. You know when I kick I kick real hard.” No it wasn’t like that. The footballer who spends most of his time playing golf was happy and cool. He was quite amazed at the efforts that professional dancers require to make those graceful moves.

It is a good lesson for football fans as well. Well, the sport may need to have the killer’s instinct above all, but dancing is more like revealing. It is about control, balance and harmony.

The 8th Season of “Dancing with the Stars” moves on, with the subtraction of Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska. With no extra times and penalty shoots, the scoreboard read: Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska: 21 points, the lowest amongst all. Top Performers on the day were Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani with judges awarding them 29 points, Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas with 28 points, Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke with 27 points, Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough with 27, Lil’ Kim and Derek Hough with 26, Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower with 24 points, Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska with 21.

It may not be a shock after all to Taylor’s fans, as they know that the dark horse was not going to make it big.

Karuninidhi issued a notice to the Central Government of India to put pressure on the Lankan government for calling a permenant ceasefire. It might be worth mentioning that LTTE is the same outfit that was found responsible for the assisination plot that led to the surmise of former PM, Rajiv Gandhi.

As per official figures more than 30,000 civilians are still trapped in the war zone and the Lankan government has given a deadline for LTTE supremo Prabhakaran. The violence in the nation has already led to great loss of life and property.

LTTE was founded some 32 years ago in 1976 and has been engaged in  one of the longest secessionist conflicts in Asia.  A civil erupted in the state, with Tamils declaring their own idependent state. The government has limited LTTE to small area and have given the deadline to their chief to sureender. World Organisations like EU, UN and many nations have called upon the prabhakaran to surrender. The authorities have already made their plan of launching a major offensive strike to oust the leader, which might result in the loss of many lives.

However, there is one more twist in the whole story, the free buzz. The bandh or strike is believed to be a political gimmick to rally the support of the people in the wake of coming elections. That is why we sometimes consider the political leaders as the most adroit in creating a buzz, even surpassing the feats of the celebrities.

WordPress Blog and WP website are built upon the same software framework, provided by the WordPress. The good thing about WordPress (WP) is that it is an Open Source development software that anyone can download for free. It is one of the most popularly used Open Source software, beating its rivals like Joomla and Drupal by a fair margin.

Wordpress

Below are listed 10 best features that makes WordPress the first choice for developers as well as newbies:

• It is entirely free.
• WordPress is easy to install and customize.
• WordPress is exemplary in the integration of html and php components.
• You can build dynamic websites with Web 2.0 features, quite easily in WordPress.
• WordPress is SEO friendly. Newbies may find certain elements like keywords and descriptions missing in the default template, but those can be provided while customizing the WP website.
• WordPress gives you some of the best themes, customized to meet your requirements. This means you can get rid of the designing part.
• Its architecture is very simple allowing search engine bots to easily crawl it.
• There are hundreds of plugins that can be incorporated in your WP site to extend its features.
• The software is easy to download and easy to install (takes just few minutes).
• The stable version of WordPress has almost no bugs. On the other hand, if you start from a scratch, it will take months to get rid of the bugs in the site.

Having said about the wonderful features of WordPress let us talk about some basic differences between WordPress Blog (WP Blog) and WordPress Website (WP site).

Newbies often get confused as they tend to mix up the functionalities and features of WP Blog and WP site. For their assistance, I have listed down some of the basic differences between the two. They are:

• In WordPress Blog (hosted on WordPress servers e.g., buzzinthetown.wordpress.com), you cannot make changes or edit the stylesheet of theme without buying credits. Though you can apply different themes. Contrary to this, if you have WordPress site hosted on any server with access to your hosting account, you can make edits in the stylesheet and themes.
• In WordPress Blog, the dashboard in the upper left hand corner gives you features like Blog stats, Blog Surfer, My Comments and some more. In WordPress site, you do not get these features. To know the traffic on your site and other Blog stats, you have to install plugins. The best way to do is integrate Google Analytics or Sitemeter with your WP site.
• WordPress Blog, since it is hosted on the WP servers does not need you to configure your blog. In WP site, you need php support and a mysql database that is created on your web hosting account. All your post and page content as well other information is saved in the database.

That is all for now, we will get to know more about features in the upcoming posts.

The 92 feet long boat for catching cod fish sailed with 11 crew members. The boat belonged to the Katmai Fisheries, based in Seattle, Washington. On October 22, APRN (Alska Public Radio Network) reported that the vessel was missing in the Bering Sea. The sea lies in the Pacific Ocean, bordered by Alaska, Siberia and Kamchatka Peninsula.

Katmai Vessel

APRN reported that the vessel went missing in the Amchitka pass and that Coast received no mayday calls except EPIRB signals at about 1.00am. A C-130 plan and a Jayhawk helicopter went searching for the missing vessel. six hours later. After 6 more hours they reepoted of having found a part of the raft and a body wearing survival suit. Tow rafts were dropped and four members from the crew were rescued.

Imagine a place, all deserted with water temperature about 3 degree celsius and waves travelling at the speed of 34 miles per hour. We have an intersting point in question, the safety of the crew members, of the people who work for Katmai fisheries and similar companies, the obliterated facts and cursory inspections.

The unfortunate event of Katmai vessel is not the only one that ever happened. Every year many people have to put on the fight with the fierce sea, with little safety measures and obsolete equipments. It is not just the headache of the Coast Guard as many lives, many families depend on it. Should these poor people be ignored and left to die, battling with sea storms. No.  So what is the state going to do about it? Nothing, I guess. Who’s going to bring the sad news to their families, look after them? No idea.

May be the Discovery’s  Deadliest Catch gives us some insights of the life on the boat and its crew members. The irony is that people better understand when they see it live. Tell them the story and it has little effect.

Despite the developed infrastructure and faculties to minimise such accidents, there has been no serious effort made by any institution so far. The best they do is send a team on inspection and sometimes rely on the reports send by the company experts themselves. That is totally unfair. If the state government can’t do anything about it, we implore the non-government organisations to look into the matter and probe such disasters.

Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva

Now to Oksana Grigorieva. She is a Russian singer, an ex-girl of Mr. Bond, Timothy Dalton. Mr. Bond and the Russian lady, reprtedly, have a son named Alexander. Oksana also has contract with Icon Records. Not only this, she is now putting in the house that used to belong to Mr. Gibson. The property in the California, is owned by a trust that is administered by Mel Gibson’s production company.Too many links.

I tried to do a BGround check on the lady in the suit…persuit. But it runs out that she has been keeping a low profile and not revealed much. Well, the braveheart must have found something, more than just name, to actually think of leaving Robyn. Oksana is 39 and all the more sexy; no offense but she looks terrific. She sings and has acted as well. She belongs to a family where music and singing is an essential way of life and as people describe it, she is not gonna leave that.

Mel Gibson and Robyn Denise Moore got married in 1980. They have seven children and also a grand child. Mel Gibson once said that: “Life is about love and commitment.” But who can deny the supreme influence of time and sex. They do make many a men weak, many a promises obsolete and many a committments things of the past.

In October 2007, scientists discovered the remains of a baby mammoth, Lyuba. The baby mamoth was actually discovered by a herdsman, Yuri Khudi. Th ebaby mammoth has been named after Yuri Kudi’s wife’s name, Lyuba, meaning love in Russian.

Lyuba, the baby mammoth, who was just a month or so old when she died, has caught the attention worldwide as NatGeo prepares to broadcast a premier show of hers. The baby died under mysterious circumstances, some 40,000 years ago. Scientists have been investigating the circumstances that led to her sad end.

There have been speculations that the discovery of Lyuba will unfold many of the mysteries, including the factors that led to the extinction of this species thousands of years ago. This will be kind of a straight trip to ICE AGE. The narration for the premier is provided by famous actor, Victor Garber.The programme will be telecasted on April 26 on National Geographic Channel.

That is not what people are really interested in. The truth is that people share some kind of emotional bond with this prehistoric specie that has been so lucidly described in the animation movies Ice Age. The woolly mammoth with long tusks have been characterized in a number of works, books, movies, telltales, etc. It is time that we find out what the creatures were actually like.

Also, some people believe that the DNA mapping and extract can help in bringing back this specie, whether it is possible at this time, we are not quite sure of. Lyuba may further be a new character in the animation sequels, Ice Age, in which the animal has a lead role. So far so good, let us see what the buzz can do about it.

The Earl has been depicted to bear the form of a crow.

The references have been taken from the book Clavicula Salomonis or the Lesser key of Solomon.

Thomas Malthus (1766-1834): Thomas Malthus was a British clergyman who published Essay on the Principle of Population. The book warns about the fast growing population that will make resources fall short over a period of time. Malthus also suggests remedies in his book, like birth control and abstinence from copulation. However, he is better known for listing three main checks on the population – famine, pestilence and war.

Thomas Robert Malthus

Malthus did not supported the idea of war and killing other humans outfront. According to him war was ineveitable because the population would require food supplies that were limited. Therefore he suggested birth control and other measure, which could prevent the war.

Malthusian Crisis, Catastrophe: It is refered to the conditions when the agricultural growth and productivity will be far less than the population demands, resulting in a disaster or catastrophe.

It connects the movies 2 Fast 2 Furious and Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift. The film, directed by Justin Lee, was released in the first week of April. The movie, like the rest of the parts, is for supercharged drivers who like to rip the streets with screeching tires and roaring engine. The film also touches the essential element “Fury” by Vin Diesel’s vengeance to payback the killer, who knocks off his (Vin Diesel’s) girlfriend, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez).

The movie starts with amazing action, with Torreto (Vin Diesel) and his pack stealing the fuel tankers. The scenes have been shot in Dominican Republic and the settings are superb, not to mention the reverse drive and great reflexes. It just gets you.

Sensing danger for his girlfriend, Toretto leaves, only to find her dead later in an assassination and car wreck plot. Toretto returns and starts the quest to kick the ass of his girlfriend’s murderer. Paul Walker who plays Brian O’Conner is an FBI agent and has a real bad company. The guy is restless from the moment he appears in the film. He also blows his nosy colleagues nose.

Fast and Furious 4 Cars

Now let us come to the best part of it, the ladies, I mean cars. In the beginning of the movie, Toretto or Dom drives a Chevrolet Chevelle SS and later his own muscle car Dodge Charger. Conner drives Nissan GTR and the henchman of Braga (played by John Oritz), Fenix drives Ford Gran Torrino.

There are two things worth watching in Fast & Furious 4 – Fenix and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster). She is definitely hot, no doubt Conner likes her. And Fenix, real dog.  He as a matter of movie fact dies “Between the Cars.” There is one racing event and two chases in the movie. The tracks and rules are quite different, good imagination actually.
