Soldier of Love

The Cove,2009 academy winner, produced by Fisher Stevens, beats Avatar in Oscar as the voters went the true story of environmental degradation instead if the fantasy 3-D version. The Cove may call the scariest and most important dolphin movie casted by some renowned Star. Read next for details….
Academy Award’09 winning American documentary film, The Cove, was about mass killing of dolphins in a National at Taiji, Wakayama, Japan.
The film highlights that the number of whales killed in the Antarctic is several times lesser the number of dolphins killed in Japan, and it claims that almost 23,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed per year. The migrating dolphins are herded into a hidden cove where they are netted and killed by means of spears and knives over the side of small fishing boats.

On March 7, 2010 The Cove won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Film at the 82nd Academy Awards.

Avatar, the 3-D version natured themed movie couldn’t draw the attention that much. Although, it won a few Oscars in technical categories, but failed to win any of the big awards including Best Director and Best Movie which both finally went to James Cameron’s ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow for her Iraq drama, The Hurt Locker.

Starcast “The Cove’’:

Scott Baker (marine biologist)
Joe Chisholm
Mandy-Rae Cruickshank
Charles Hambleton
Simon Hutchins
Kirk Krack
Isabel Lucas
Ric O’Barry

Senator of California Roy Ashburn;a Gay???

2010-03-05T03:07:00.000+06:00

Senator Roy Ashburn,California,was caught while leaving a gay club at night.Follow next.....
Being left a gay nightclub in Sacramento, Californian Senator Roy Ashburn was arrested for a DUI . To make things more interesting gay (in a happy way of course) Ashburn was accompanied by an unidentified male passenger during the arrest, a friend for sure.
Ashburn, like all hypocritical GOP closeted-gays, was an ardent opponent of gay marriage in California, and supported the controversial Proposition 8 bill.
Ashburn is married happily with four kids. He was arrested at the Sacramento County Jail until he paid the $1400 bail. His family must be so proud!!!
What state leader he is!!!A man who is married and has four children, has a fondness of gay sex, again stands against of gay marriage. Can’t it be said, who wants monogamous, happily married gay people when you are looking to score some gay sex on the DL.
Someone needs to commission a study into the psyche of the conservative male politician to find out why so many really like hot, dirty, sweaty sex with a man. However, what do they really want to establish??How could this people be a country leader??Matter to be concern about…..

Chile Earthquake;change of Earth's axis,shortened day,a devastating aftermath.

2010-03-04T06:15:00.004+06:00

The earthquake in Chile, a devastating causes 800+ death and almost same number injured, may have a further more destructive effect as Scientists of NASA stated, the quake may change earth’s axis and shortened day. Read next for details…..

The death counts more than 800 after a stunning 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the coast of Chile sparking tsunamis. Though, search and rescue efforts continue it is expected that the death toll will continue to rise.

The aftermath seriousness may well be realized from Chilean president Michelle Bachelet’s word as he said, “We have seen images that are, frankly, intolerable. We want to make it clear that it won’t be accepted. The government will apply the full force of the law.”
Rather than 10,000 Chilean soldiers are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of their people. As looters run rampant, aid has been hindered and is slowly reaching to needy people.
In addition to that, scientists of NASA have stated that the 8.8 magnitude Chilean earthquake has caused a strange phenomenon. We have lost time in a day. The earthquake apparently shifted the earth's axis changing the length of a 24-hour day, so a JPL scientist said, adding our day has shortened by 1.26 microseconds. Let's put that into perspective, a microsecond is only one-millionth of a second. This means, it's going to take 2,174 years for a whole second of time to be lost. It may not affect our daily schedules too much, but it’s a matter to think about how much impact an earthquake can have on the entire planet.
The Earthquake is said to have move the Earth's figure axis by about 3 inches. Chile is below the center of the earth's axis. A powerful enough quake there could upset the balance and shift the axis of the earth disturbing time. Earthquakes like this add up and are believed to be the reason we have a leap year some scientists say.

Flashback;Rick Perry's career,activities and success.

2010-03-03T12:38:00.005+06:00

Senator, Rick Perry, from the Republican camp defeats his Democrat’s counterpart in the election. He is like an one man army since starting his career as a politician. Scroll down to have a quick flashback about Rick perry.

Rick Perry,a fifth generation Texan, grew up the son of tenant farmers in the West Texas,a tiny town of Paint Creek. Ray and Amelia Perry’s younger child, Rick was active in scouting and earned distinction as an Eagle Scout.

Rick Perry was one of the first in his family to go to college, earning a degree in Animal Science at Texas A&M, where he was also a member of the Corps of Cadets and a Yell Leader.

Perry served in the U.S. Air Force flying C-130 tactical airlift aircraft in the Europe and the Middle East,Between 1972 and 1977.He is a lifetime member of American Legion Post #75.

He was elected Lieutenant Governor in 1998, he served two terms as Texas Commissioner of Agriculture and four terms in the Texas House of Representatives.

In 1982, Perry married his childhood sweetheart, Anita Thigpen.

A few years later he started his career as a politician. And on December 21, 2000, Rick Perry , raised his right hand and took the soothe of office as Texas’ 47th Governor. Every day since then he has stood for Texans’ conservative values, fought for principled solutions to difficult challenges and worked to employ a clear vision for better schools, more jobs, safer communities and a shiny future.

Texans are safer because Gov. Perry ordered an aggressive border security initiative that is putting more boots,helicopters and more resources into the hands of border law officers who are on the front lines of America’s homeland security efforts. Texas is shutting down illegal activity on the border, thus securing the American homeland.

Perry has led the fight for better schools, signing into law a $2,000 pay raise for teachers and the country’s largest performance pay program. He has worked for higher standards and greater accountability. He ordered schools to spend 65% of tax dollars directly in the classroom—not bureaucracy—and required districts to open their financial books so taxpayers can see how their money is being spent.
Perry has made job creation a top priority of his administration that resulted in more than 630,000 new jobs over the last three years, and more Texans are working today than ever before. Throughout his term in office, Gov. Perry has proven himself to be a leader who does what he believes is right, regardless of what critics may say.
He refused to raise taxes when Texas faced a record $10 billion budget shortfall in 2003. Instead, he became the first governor since World War II to sign a budget that lowered state spending. As governor, Perry has used his line item veto to cut over $2.5 billion in proposed spending—six times more than the last four Texas governors combined.

The existance of Royal Bengal Tiger under real threat.

2010-03-01T22:39:00.004+06:00

The Royal Bengal Tigers, one of the world's largest big cat populations, could disappear by the end of this century as rising sea levels caused by climate change destroy their habitat along the Sunderbans coast, according to a new WWF-led study published in the journal Climatic Change.

Tigers are among the world's most threatened species, with only an estimated 3,200 remaining in the world, including 400 plus in Bangladesh and India, said officials of the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF).

"It's disheartening to imagine that the Sundarbans - which means 'beautiful forest' in Bangla - could be gone this century, along with its tigers,as the sea level is rising." said Colby Loucks, WWF-US deputy director of conservation science and the lead author of the study Sea Level Rise and Tigers: Predicted Impacts to Bangladesh's Sundarbans Mangroves.
An expected sea level rise of 28 cm above year 2000 levels may cause the remaining tiger habitat in the Sundarbans to decline by 96 percent, pushing the total population to fewer than 20 breeding tigers, according to the study.

Unless immediate action is taken, the Sundarbans, its wildlife and the natural resources that sustain millions of people may disappear within 50 to 90 years, the study states. While the tiger’s exact numbers are unclear, the tigers living in the Sundarbans of India and Bangladesh may represent as many as 10 percent of all the remaining wild tigers worldwide.

However, recent research suggests that the seas may rise even more swiftly than what was predicted in the 2007 IPCC assessment.

The study also recommended that the government and natural resource managers should take immediate steps to conserve and expand mangroves while preventing poaching and retaliatory killing of tigers.

2010-03-01T12:20:00.009+06:00

For the second time, Dave Rife, found himself behind a White Castle restaurant;s counter,was caught by camera.

The executive of White Castle restaurants, Rife, who was commissioned by the CBS reality television show, “Undercover Boss” and worked at numerous White Castle restaurants for 10 days in the month of June 2009.

Rife said,“When I started my career with White Castle, I started behind that counter, since then lot of technology has changed but the basic job remains the same.”

On High Street in Hamilton, White Castle, received a visit from the high-ranking staffer.

“The Hamilton store, specifically, is a new location,we just had opened the building a month prior. I wanted to see how things were going. I was just really thrilled with what I found.” Rife said.

Rife said the employees were told he was a laid-off employee looking for odd-end jobs.

“They told us it was for a documentary,” Rose Neeley said, a White Castle employee.

The White Castle employees at the High Street store just found out weeks ago the filming was for the show.

Steve Holcomb wins men's bobsled gold in 62 years.

2010-02-28T11:31:00.003+06:00

A long awaited gold medal finally came into reality by the hand Steve Holocomb for USA..Steven Holcomb carried his USA-1 sled to a gold medal Saturday in men's Olympic four-man bobsled.Steve may have done even more than that.

The U.S. team combined of Holcomb, Justin Olsen, Steve Mesler and Curtis Tomasevicz captured the first U.S. Olympic gold medal in men's bobsled in 62 years, arousing a new hope that the sport might catch on among Americans.

51.52 seconds was the timing by the USA-1 sled inthe final run at Whistler Sliding Center , only the third-fastest time in the final heat. But the last icy journey down the risky track for the sled t called "Night Train" was enough quick to end a more than six-decades drought.

"No more 62 years," said Holcomb after winning the gold.. "Now it's going to be four years."

Mike Kohn, pilot of the USA-3 sled that finished 13th,said,"It's hopefully going to get some recognition for the sport," . Kohn commented before Holcomb's Night Train even hit the track for its final run,shows the confident level of the Americans

The former Daytona 500 winner who helped build the U.S. sleds, Geoff Bodine dreamt a gold medal. Especially since Holcomb and his teammates had looked so impressive while building a nearly half-second lead over the Canada-1 sled after the first three heats.

"I've had a big lead on the whole field and then the caution flag comes out and the field bunches up," said Bodine. "That's when confidence comes in."

Holcomb and his crew proved it on the track, posting the fastest times over each of the first three heats to build their lead, and then coming through with a good enough run to seal the win.

Their final time was 3 minutes, 24.46 seconds.

It was the 36th overall medal for the U.S. in Vancouver, matching the all-time Winter Olympics record set by Germany in 2002. The U.S. is guaranteed another medal after the men's ice hockey final on Sunday.

Holcomb underwent eye surgery last year to fix a degenerative disease that left him almost blind, said he envisioned the gold in 1994. He has piloted the two- and four-man bobsleds in the last two Olympics and now finally reach his goal.

"We've been working so hard the last four years and it's finally paid off," he said.

Tsunami alert issued in Japan,Russia &Phillipines is also under threat.

2010-02-28T10:54:00.004+06:00

A day after the earthquake in Chile,a major tsunami warning has been issued in Japan,also in Russia.
Tsunami warnings were lifted in other nations across the Pacific Basin's “Ring of Fire” as concern of destructive waves eased, but Tokyo and Moscow were taking no chances after one of the biggest earthquakes on record.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) for the pacific coast of Aomori prefecture, coast of Miyagi and Iwate prefectures in northeast Japan, saying "very high tsunami" with waves up to 3 meters are expected in the areas, and "everyone near the coast must immediately evacuate to higher ground".
Waves that started in Chile and rolled through Hawaii, French Polynesia and the South Pacific as the tsunami moved at jet-speed across the vast ocean after Saturday's 8.8-magnitude quake, which caused at least 300 people dead.
Warning sirened throughout 50 countries and territories along an arc stretching from New Zealand to Japan were put on alert, five years after the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster that killed more than 220,000 people.
Causalities of the Chile quake started off 5 death in the remote Robinson Crusoe island.The Hawaii-based Tsunami Warning Center of pacific lifted its tsunami warning for everywhere except Japan and Russia, but the Philippines was also bracing for outsized waves.
The Chilean disaster remembered raw memories for Japan, where 140 lives were lost in 1960 when a 9.5-magnitude earthquake in the South American nation — the largest on record — sent a tsunami roaring across the Pacific.

The tsunami is about to hit Hokkaido and Izu-Ogasawara islands around 1 p.m, followed by other areas, it said on the public broadcaster NHK.

In May 1960, a tsunami struck the coasts of Hokkaido and the Sanriku region of Japan after a magnitude 9.5 quake in Chile, leaving around 140 people dead or missing.

“Last time, waves that hit after the first one became even more powerful,”said Japan Meteorological Agency official Yasuo Sekita.
“We believe it will be the case this time, too,” he said, as Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama set up an emergency task force. “The agency will keep the tsunami alert for quite a long time.”Russia issued a similar warning and launched an evacuation in its Pacific peninsula of Kamchatka.
Thousands of families in the Philippines also fled coastal areas..

Chile earthquake;Hawaii Tsunami warning- whats happening throughout the world?

2010-02-27T23:59:00.006+06:00

Days after the Haiti earthquake,,today the Chile earthquake happened that warned a Tsunami in Hawaii.The disasters are not new to the world,it's getting older gradually.
The effect of the Chile earthquake 2010 has already been widespreaded.an earthquake registering 8.8 on the Richter Scale hit the Latin American country of Chile, issueing tsunami warnings throughout the Pacific, specially, Hawaii. Hawaii tsunami warnings are quite necessary as such a powerful tremor can cause a lot of disaster & devastation, even to far away places like Hawaii. But that is just the beginning of the aftermath, as today's earthquake in Chile was quite historic and destructive on its own.
Several weeks ago Haiti was almost destroyed by a 7.0 quake. But when all is said and done, that damage may shy in comparison to what Chile experienced today. The nation experienced the largest earthquake ever recorded since 1960, and today, the Chile earthquake 2010 reached a stunning 8.8.
However, the incident is approximately 1,000 times more powerful than what struck Haiti. At least 80 people have been assured dead, though the total will likely rise as days passed.230,000 people died in Haiti, though many blamed the nation's poor infrastructure for much of it. How Chile holds up, and how their preparedness compares to Haiti, will draw a lot of attention.
The immediate aftermath of the Chile earthquake 2010 as people are anxious thinking the worst has just began. The Hawaii tsunami warning is not the only one in the area,it has been issued in 53 countries including Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rice and Antarctica. Those in the Pacific are urged to head to high ground.
The Hawaii tsunami warning and the Chile earthquake doesn't just recalled te disaster of Haiti. The absolute worst case scenario is the 2004 earthquake at the Indian Ocean, as that 9.1 quake triggered the most deadly tsunami in recent memory. Today's wave might not cause as much damage, but who wants to take chances.

Figure skater Rochette won over emotion though with bronze.

2010-02-26T12:19:00.000+06:00

Joannie Rochette, the Canadian figure skater, skating four days after her beloved mother died,in Vancouver figure skating championship, cheered the Canadian by winning a bronze medal Thursday night in the women's figure skating championship.

JoanieRochette's free skate was not without flaws, but one stumble and one shaky landing could not deny her being the first podium finish for a Canadian figure skater since 1988.

"I feel proud. The result itself does not matter," she said through a spokesman. "It's been a lifetime work with my mother [to make it to the Olympics podium], and we achieved that."

Rochette placed third after Tuesday night's short program -- 7.14 points behind Kim Yu-Na of South Korea and 2.42 points behind Mao Asada of Japan -- who skated just before her. The free skate scores are weighted more and account for roughly two-thirds of a skater's total.

A determined Rochette came on the ice, to the hockey-like cheers of the 14,000 at Pacific Coliseum. She needed a perfect skate to win silver but on a triple flip, she stumbled and the second place slipped away.

There,lately,she had a bit of a shaky landing after another jump, but she stayed on her feet.

he blew a kiss into the air,backing from finishing line, and came to the waiting area where she, in French, covered her heart with right hand and spoke to her mother,Therese Rochette,who died Sunday of a heart attack in Vancouver at 55, Canadian Olympic officials said. Joannie Rochette opted to stay in the games, and two days later stirred a crowd with a courage

"Her mother is inside her heart and soul, so she'll be there for her," her agent Dave Baden told CNN on Wednesday, "and [Joannie] will draw from that strength."ous performance.

Joannie Rochette kept mother's word who died in heart attack.

2010-02-24T12:45:00.000+06:00

Joannie Rochette,champion,figure skating,ice skating,carries mom's word in the winter skating championship.

"I always encouraged her to have confidence in herself, to believe in her dreams."

Joanie Rochette's mother's words drifted with powerful warmth through the chill of the Pacific Coliseum on Tuesday night, connecting hands, filling eyes, lifting her child.

"The hurdles she faces encourage her to reach over them, Joannie has always been naturally determined and persevering."

,Here,on Sunday morning, Therese Rochette, the author of those words, went passed suddenly of a heart attack.

On Tuesday night, with impossible strength followed by uncontrollable tears, daughter Joannie Rochette skated to their soundtrack.

In an Olympic short program that few imagined possible, bearing a burden that few can understand, Canadian star Rochette honored her late mother less than 72 hours after her death with the performance of a lifetime.

Thus ,Rochette,boarded on the ice as per her word., and nailing her program on the summit. When she received her marks, she blew kisses to the roaring, adoring crowd and touched her heart.

"It was very nice to have the warm welcome," Rochette said in a statement. "It was hard to handle, but I appreciate the support."

Answering questions about her emotions, she said simply, "Words cannot describe" them. She did not speak directly to reporters, but gave her comments to a figure skating official.

Rochette, 24, landed a triple Lutz-double toe combination, a trip flip and double Axel, and skated with grace and elegance. Before taking the ice, she stood at the boards saying, 'okay' and nodding her head as she received last-minute encouragement. Her mother, Therese, suffered a heart attack the night she arrived from Montreal for these Games. She was 55. Rochette learned of her mother's death from her father at 6 a.m. Sunday and never considered not skating here.

Rochette considered her mother an important part of her skating training. She asked her mother to visit her training at least once a week to push her.

"My mom, who was always close to me, took more distance from my skating for the last couple of years,'' Rochette wrote in 2008. "I was missing her input and support as well as her approach to getting more and more solid with my elements.

"She has always been the most critical person about my skating, pushing me harder to improve.

"Even if it requires quite a big deal of humility at 22 to admit you need more of your mother, I expressed it and she drives from home to St-Leonard once a week to come to supervise with her unique eyes my training.''
