Subhash Ghai fails in BLack and White music
The music for the film Black and White by Subhash Ghai is out. And, I hate to admit that its a complete let down. The title track, Main Chala, is a well-worded song clearly about the protagonist wandering the roads of life in search of meaning. The melody is fine, while being completely unspectacular, but the problem with this song lies in Sukhwinder Singh's voice. he second track livens things up. Peer Manava is much better suited to Singh's voice. The weddingy song also features the high-pitched vocals of Shradha Pandit. The first version of Yeh Hindustan Hai is sung by Udit Narayan, and his ever-fresh vocals instantly breathe life into Singh's album. Having said that, this is the point where lyricist Ibrahim Ashk's words get more dated than ever and while Narayan does his best, the music is regressive and leads to an annoyingly jingoistic track.Well, the other songs aint worth mentioning. You hear them if you have nothing better to do at home !

PBR Finals
Today I have something really interesting for everyone. It is for people who enjoy violent sports. Yes, I am talking about Professional Bull Riders ! I happened to go to Las Vegas last year to catch up on the Professional Bull Riders World Finals (PBR Finals) at Neveda and I must admit that I fell meekly to the spell of the magic that they produced in the arena with the men and the bulls ! They are the most violent things I have seen tread the arena. I have always been interested in bull riders and bull fighting, so last year when I heard about this bull riders World Cup, it came to such that I dint want to miss it. I made up my mind, pooled in some money and then found a few of my best pals for company and booked the tickets online. The tickets were alloted online and the rest was pretty simple for me. I arrived there and produced my ticket and found no problem in finding my seats at all. I was shown my seats by the personnel there and we got our seats at a very comfortable place. You can even choose where you would like to be seated there when you book your tickets online. Your tickets to the Pro Bull Riders can be obtained at the ease of a click from the comfort of your desk ! I just loved the entire experience that the show in Las Vegas brought about in my trip. The entire trip was worth the experience. It was enthralling to see those huge creatures pumping out hard burnt fuel from their nostrils and charging towards the end post with some of the strongest and bravest male muscles donning them, controlling the beasts. Merely thinking of the scene gets me so very excited. I am not going to miss it this time too. So catch you people there this year !

Rambo is outdated
I am here to tell you something we never wanted to hear about the all hyped up final installment of the Rambo series. There are no two ways about it. You push that 'Nam veteran Green Beret into a conflict zone, and even if the world might bloody implode, he's going to swagger out all sweaty and superior.
That's the rule, deal with it.
Now, the immortal John Rambo, back on the screen after 20 years, is tackling a nightmarish genocide situation in some hellhole. What is it like?
By itself, honestly, one is forced to admit that might be a workable idea -- and is that Shankar I spy, scribbling down notes and rewatching Edward Zwick's film? -- especially if done zany and very camp, but the problem with revamping a franchise is that you need to let go of the nostalgia and take a dive, to make a fresh start of things.
And there aren't even any great action set-pieces to make up for the total predictibility. All we have is the hint that romance still breathes within Rambo's lungs. Maybe Stallone, directing this time again, did realise he needs to have an actual character up there, and thought mistakenly that a silent stirring in his loins was enough to separate Rambo from The Incredible Hulk. No go.
Bird Flu catches on in Bengal
Bad news about Bird Flu again. This disease has managed to stay in the news for a long time since last year. It is making news again, this time, in India. Bird flu [Images] spread to further areas of West Bengal on Tuesday as the Centre increased the target of number of poultry to be culled to nearly 15 lakh.
Samples from two more blocks of Nadia district, three blocks of Burdwan district and two blocks of Birbhum districts were confirmed to be positive for bird flu.
Briefing the media, Animal Husbandry Commissioner S K Bandopadhyay, however, said the total number of districts where the bird flu virus has spread remains seven, which includes Birbhum, South Dinajpur, Murshidabad, Nadia, Burdwan, Malda and Bankura.
Beyonce supports the Grammys
There is great news yet again from this person who always spells enigma in her albums and also in all the gossips about her.
Beyonce Knowles has declared her support for the Grammy Awards after confirming that she'll perform at the event even if striking writers boycott the ceremony.
The former Destiny's Child singer will join the Foo Fighters, who announced earlier this week that they'd cross picket lines to perform at the Grammys on 10 February.
Event organisers are resolute the show will go on as scheduled, regardless of the threat of protest from the striking writers, reports Contactmusic.
Writers Guild of America (WGA) union members insisted the Los Angeles music ceremony was "unlikely" to receive a waiver, halting potential picket action, earlier this week.
Oscar fever
The Oscar fever is back this february. And, this time sources say that everybody is in for more surprises this time. Pleasant or not is yet to be seen ! In the best director's category which has Ethan and Joel Coen (No Country for Old Men), and Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood), there were three relatively new directors getting the nominations ---Julian Schnabel (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), Jason Reitman (Juno) and Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton).
The nominations will give a big boost to the multi-nomination films particularly Juno which, like There Will Be Blood, Atonement and No Country For Old Men, is starting its foreign run within a few days. There Will Be Blood, which is in some 400 theaters in North America, could be playing in 1000 this Friday given its strong performance at the nominations. The emotional sagas centering on a pregnant female teen, Juno which has also been nominated for best movie, has already grossed an impressive $85 million in North America. Whether it gets the crown or not, it could still end its run with about $150 million in North America alone, a mighty gain for a film that hardly cost $10 million (some say it cost just about $3 million) Lets hope the golden statuette goes to the person who really deserves it.

Brooks Institute
This is for all you friends interested in pursuing photography and graphic design as a career. Who said you cannot pursue them as full time careers and then also be very successful in the field. Well it really is possible. All that you need is utmost sincerity, dedication and you need to put your mind body and soul into your interests and hone your skills and talents so that they can get you where you belong.
Photography gained the interest of many scientists and artists from its inception. Scientists have used photography to record and study movements. Artists are equally interested by these aspects but also try to explore avenues other than the photo-mechanical representation of reality, such as the pictorialist movement. Military, police, and security forces use photography for surveillance, recognition and data storage. Photography is used to preserve memories of favorite times, to capture special moments, to tell stories, to send messages, and as a source of entertainment.
Commercial advertising relies heavily on photography and has contributed greatly to its development. All photography was originally monochrome, or black and white. Even after color film was readily available, black-and-white photography continued to dominate for decades, due to its lower cost and its "classic" photographic look. In modern times, black-and-white has mostly become a minority art form, and most photography has become color photography.
The best place to pursue your photography course is at the Brooks Institute photography school. It is one of the finest arts schools that teaches this delicate art form in the way it should be taught. If graphic design is your forte, then I will say eyes shut that Collins graphic design school is the place for you. Check them out for more details and contact information.Debix identity protection
Today we are dealing with a serious issue. It is about identity theft. Identity theft has become a common occurance today. With the increasing border of cutting edge technology, the methods to find short cuts to steal through all the security has become more of a challenge than for money to all the frauds in the town. Identity theft is a catch-all term for crimes involving illegal usage of another individual's identity. The most common form of identity theft is credit card fraud. While the term is relatively new, the practice of stealing money or getting other benefits by pretending to be a different person is thousands of years old. identity theft is sub-divided into four categories:
- Financial Identity Theft (using another's identity to obtain goods and services)
- Criminal Identity Theft (posing as another when apprehended for a crime)
- Identity Cloning (using another's information to assume his or her identity in daily life)
- Business/Commercial Identity Theft (using another's business name to obtain credit)
Holiday LEDs
Christmas is a very special day for all of us. It is not only an auspicious day to do all that we had always wanted to do, but never found time to do it. Christmas is one of the seasons that we look out for in the year. It is one time where we get to meet all our family kith and kins. It is that time of the year when we get to meet a whole lot of new people and plan out for stuff that we always liked to do. Christmas is always characterized with lots of cakes, balloons, color papers, and lights. You will find the houses and carol places lit up with lights everywhere. Lights play an important role in setting the right mood for the christmas eve. The lights produce that festive mood in the place where you celebrate christmas. Christmas lights first gained importance in the 16th century, then Over a period of time, strings of Christmas lights found their way into use in places other than Christmas trees. Soon, strings of lights adorned mantles and doorways inside homes, and ran along the rafters, roof lines, and porch railings of homes and businesses. In recent times, many city skyscrapers are decorated with long mostly-vertical strings of a common theme, and are activated simultaneously in Grand Illumination ceremonies. In the mid 2000s, the video of the home of Carson Williams was widely distributed on the internet as a viral video. It garnered national attention in 2005 from The Today Show on NBC, Inside Edition and the CBS Evening News and was featured in a Miller television commercial. Williams turned his hobby into a commercial venture, and was commissioned to scale up his vision to a scale of 250,000 lights at a Denver shopping center, as well as displays in parks and zoos. White LEDs are similar to colored LEDs in most respects such as power and durability, but utilize a two-stage process to create the white (polychromatic, or broad spectrum) light. In the first stage, the LED actually only produces one color of light, similar to any other LED. In the second stage, some of the blue or violet-blue is absorbed by a phosphor which fluoresces yellow, imitating the broad spectrum of colors which our eyes perceive as "white". This is essentially the same process used in fluorescent lamps, except for the use of an LED to create blue light rather than excited gas plasma to create ultraviolet. LED Christmas lights that you find at HolidayLEDs.com are 85-95 and more efficient than most other standard incandescent lights and you will find that they will last for more than 50,000 hours when compared to the ordinary ones you will find in the market.
