Father's day
This father's day we are going to celebrate it in a family reunion at a retaurant which we usually do every year. My dad means everything for me. He has done a lot of things for us to be prosperous and well educated. He is a wonderful guy which i admire every day. This year i bought him an ipod touch since he wanted one a couple of months ago. I just wish i could follow his steps and be like him.
Solar Flare predicted for 2012- 2013
is a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere that can release high quantities of joules of energy.
Recent scientific research has shown that the phenomenon of magnetic reconnection is responsible for solar flares. NASA-assembled researchers described in a chilling report issued earlier this year on the destructive potential of solar storms for the 2012-2013.
it describes the consequences of solar flares unleashing waves of energy that could disrupt Earth’s magnetic field, overwhelming high-voltage transformers with vast electrical currents and short-circuiting energy grids. Such a catastrophe would cost the United States "$1 trillion to $2 trillion in the first year," concluded the panel, and "full recovery could take 4 to 10 years." That would, of course, be just a fraction of global damages.

How to upgrade your CPU
In order to upgrade your CPU you will need to know two things about your motherboard: its CPU socket and its maximum external clock rate. These two data are written on the motherboard manual.
You can only replace your CPU with another CPU that uses the same socket. Otherwise you will need to replace also your motherboard.
Before replacing your CPU we strongly recommend you to perform a BIOS upgrade on your motherboard to update your motherboard with the latest available BIOS. This will assure you that your motherboard will recognize your new CPU. Several times when you install a new CPU that you know that your motherboard supports your motherboard won’t turn on because it needs a BIOS upgrade, and you will have to install back your old CPU in order to do this. Avoid this hassle by performing a BIOS upgrade before replacing your CPU.
After replacing your CPU you will need to run a hardware identification utility like Sandra, Hwinfo or CPU-Z to check whether your new CPU is running at its correct clock rate or not. Depending on the socket number you can distinguished the type of proccesor your computer uses.
Like all other CPUs you can only replace one CPU by another that uses the same socket type used by your motherboard. If you want to replace your CPU by another that uses a different socket, you will need to replace your motherboard as well (and sometimes also other devices, such as the RAM memory).

Different swimming strokes
Swimming is a sporting workout activity that involves multiple distinctive kinds of strokes. Well, a swimming stroke is nothing, but a specific manner of moving your arms and legs, so as to push your body forward against the water. There should not be much of water splashing, while performing your swimming stroke. Some of the swimming strokes are the following:
Butterfly Stroke: it is the toughest and the most exhausting swimming stroke, encompassing windmill like arm movements and dolphin kick. While performing this stroke competitively, the swimmer should avoid underwater swimming.
Breast Stroke: this is one among the different swimming strokes that involves arm movements on the front side, from your head to shoulder level. It is the frog kick that can be associated with this stroke. The swimmer should keep his/her head above the water surface, while carrying out this swim stroke.
Crawl: flutter kick and alternating over arm movements are the features that characterize crawl-swimming stroke. While doing crawling, the swimmer has to keep his head in the water, alternating the face side.
Sidestroke: scissors kick is a distinguished feature that explains the movements of sidestroke. This underwater stroke involves the pushing of your body in the forward direction, keeping your body on one side.
Backstroke: this stroke involves alternate over the head arm movements and flutter kick.
Freestyle swimming: it gives you the liberty to use any swimming stroke you want to, while carrying out your swimming workout session.
Dog paddle: it is one of the simplest swimming strokes, making use of modified flutter kick. In dog paddling, your forward motion takes place with your arms underwater.

Types of guitars
There are various types of guitar and they all have their own particular sound. Playing different guitars in a music shop is a great way of familiarising yourself with each models unique qualities but don't forget to take off any objects that could scratch the guitar. A music salesman will let you try as many guitars as you like but may not be too happy at the little scratch your coat button left. Your choice of guitar will usually be based on the type of music you wish to play and the aesthetic appeal of the colour and design.
Acoustic guitars
The acoustic guitar is found all over the globe and this cultural adoption and historical evolution has led to many variations in design and purpose.
There are two kinds of acoustic guitar: steel-string and classical. Classical guitars have a wider neck and use nylon strings. Steel-strings have a defined and sharp sound that is a distinctive component of a wide range of popular music styles; country and rock are two examples. The nylon strings of the classical guitar allows the guitarist to play complicated arrangements and barres with ease. Both types of guitar can be played using a pick or finger-style.
Electric Guitar
The electric guitar is the workhorse of rock music and is also used extensively in blues, jazz and pop music. Electric guitars need to be plugged into an amplifier to be heard adequately.
Electro-Acustic Guitar
Electro-acoustic guitars have pickups specifically designed for the subtle nuances of the timbre of the acoustic guitar.
This allows electro-acoustics to be plugged into a PA and they are essential for many guitarists who rely on using the house PA when they gig.

What invention would you like to see in your lifetime?
We've come a long way since the stone age. These days we have so many new technologies which we take for granted. Some of these include: cellphones, the internet, computers, television, cars, GPS devices, microwaves, and many more. However there is still much more work to be done. There are countless inventions that are still yet to be invented. Take a look at some of my favorite future creations that i would like to see:
-Time travel
This is my favorite of all the inventions. I can't wait till the day when I can correspond with my past or future self about issues that effect me today. While transporting of people through time is not feasible at this time, there currently exists the blueprints for a time machine that can transport tiny particles and even information to the past and/or future.
-Teleportation
I'm so lazy. So, when the prospect of being teleported from one place to another without being required to move was introduced to me. I said, "when do we start!" I look forward to the day when people have their own teleporation devices in their home.
-Smart Robots
Now, I know that often times movies paint a worst-case-scenario image of robots. Movies such as Terminator and I, Robot are just a couple. They would have you believe that if we make robots too sentient, they will turn on the human race and disaster would ensue. I don't believe this to be the case. I believe that smart robots would only be good for our society.
-Brain-Computer Interface
This one I know is already in the works. I saw a 60 Minutes segment about scientists hooking up people and animals brains to a computer.

Top 10 most intelligent animals
Animals can be as shrewd, cunning, and mentally amplified as you. Below is a list of the top 10 animals that are known to have intelligence:
10. The cow
Did you know that cows can produce more milk if they listen to the song “the Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel? The cognitive abilities of cows are now being studied. Experts say that cows, like us, worry about the future. If farmers care for them very well, cows feel immense happiness.
9. Octopus
Do you know that cephalopods, like squids, octopus, and nautilus can stare and watch you intently from inside an aquarium? Scientists have ranked cephalopods at the top of the invertebrate intelligence scale.
According to scientists, many vertebrates don’t have this ability.
8. Cuckoo
Did you know that of all bird species in the world today, cuckoos are the most mischievous? Female European cuckoos secretly lay their eggs on other birds’ nests. It is called "Brood Parasitism" when unsuspecting adults take care of an imposter egg.
7. Pigs
You’ll be shocked to learn that pigs are proven to be very insightful animals. Scientists say that pigs have complex cognitive abilities. In laboratories, pigs play video games better than primates. Pigs can also dream and recognize their own names. In some studies, researchers identified more than 20 different squeals that pigs objectively respond to. Pigs listen to music. Mother pigs are known to sing for their young and newborn piglets can identify their mother’s voice upon birth. Researchers were also able to teach several pigs to jump over dumbbells and fetch frisbees
6. Bees
Bees exhibit complex cognitive processes many insects don’t show. They can use the sun as a compass. They can learn sounds, colors, and locations. Bees have an uncanny sense of time. Bees have a language often referred to as the honeybee dance. This dance is their form of language. They dance to communicate distance, elevation and quality of the food source.
5. Dolphins
There is no way dolphins wouldn’t make this list. They are so intelligent; their brains are bigger than humans. Yes, dolphin brains are the biggest cranial mass in the entire world. Aside from being obedient animal entertainers, dolphins have the ability to pull off practical jokes on other animals.
4.Elephants
The elephant brain is very heavy. It weighs in at about 5 kilos or more. Other large mammals, such as rhinos and hippos don’t have that kind of brain size. Scientific research has proven that elephants have the ability to use different objects in creative ways without being taught firsthand.
3. Blackbirds
Blackbirds have the largest hyperstriatums, which means they have the ability to count objects and make complex decisions. These birds are very manipulative as they let other creatures do the work and afterwards, seize the opportunity for themselves.
2. Whales
whales are very intelligent. In many instances, scientists have observed that whales are very emotional animals. Whales can experience feelings of anguish, joy, and parental love.
1. Gorillas
Apes and humans have something in common. Aside playing on monkey bars, humans and apes are both primates. What differs is that apes are classified as “non-human primates”. Since humans and apes belong in the same class, it is not surprising that they are almost as bright as humans.
Apes are “thinking animals”. They are one of the few animals who know how to use and make their own tools. Some of the well-known apes are gorillas, chimpanzees, and orangutans. Just recently, "Koko the Gorilla" made headlines by learning over 1,000 words of American Sign Language.

A place i would like to visit
Greece would be the answer becuase this has been my dream since i was a kid. Greece is a fantastic country. With beautiful architecture and history. Its coastlines makes it a dream land for many. The water its clear and since i love water it would be the best place for me to be.
Exotic pets
Here’s an article on animals that may be more attractive to your landlord than dogs that like to dig or cats that like to scratch.
From ferrets,guinea pigs, hamster, lizards to snakes, monkeys, zebras, tigers and Parrots.
It's officious intolerable the lengths to which humans will go for companionship.
This poor animals are taken out of their habitat to go to houses? I think this is inmoral and unethical from the point of view that animals should not be distruberd from their habitat..

A typical lunch hour at work
Well at my job we always have lunch at 2pm since before that sometimes we need to finish proposals. During lunch me and my coworkers usually go to bryant park in manhattan since it is near the office.. We do this only during the summer since during winter is impossible because of the weather. We like the park since it is a calm place with beatiful views to vegetation, buildings, etc.
Best music at the time to go to the GYM..
Choosing the best song for those pumps in the gym is essential..Good music gives you that extra strenght that you might require to do more repetitions in the gym.
Here are some songs I like:
Breaking benjamin- Blow me away
Breaking benjamin- Diary of jane
Linkin Park- GIven up
POD- BOOM
Ozzy Osbourne- Crazy train
Metallica- Enter Sandman
Evanescence- Going Under
Snoop Dog- I wanna rock
Papa roach- Last resort
Linkin park- Dont Stay
Linkin Park- points of authority

Foods I don’t like..
Every person has its own taste to certain foods, for this reason i am listing food i dont really like:
-Mayonise too much cholesterol for me which makes me dizzy and gives me a stomache pain
-lemon on salads, for me it is better plain salad that putting lemon on it which takes out the flavor of salad.
-pork, too much cholesterol, I only eat depending how they make the pork.
-Vinegar, I hate vinegar and worst if it is in salad which gives it a bitter flavor to salad.

Which is of greater cancer risk: Smoking or pollution?
Tobacco smoke is just one of many carcinogens floating around in our atmosphere today but yet it takes the blame for the massive increase in reported cases of cancer of all types as well as many other kinds of illness. Despite a steady decline in tobacco smoking since the 1950's cancer related illness has increased 50% or more.
Air pollution if it is bad enough and concentrated enough can cause cancer I am sure. But I know from personal experience that smoking can cause Cancer.
Smoking has decreased and cancer cases have increased. People are living longer these days despite the fact that most of the oldies would have enjoyed being smokers back in the fifties and sixties. Logic says that there has to be another factor which is causing the increase in cancer. There are known carcinogens in our atmosphere which suggests that air pollution is a much bigger factor than smoking ever was or has been blamed for.

Destination Argentina!!
Yes, argentina!!!! This Summer I am going to have my vacations on Argentina since I have a cousint that lives there. It has been something inespected but for sure i am going to do that trip. One of the important reasons of why im going is because aregentina might won the Fifa world cup which means big parties and celebration over there. Also argentinian girls are beautiful and why not give it a try and try to relax for a little.
Debate over whether or not to lower the drinking age in the United States?
In my opinion I think it is not a good idea to lower the age of drinking in the country. If the minimum drinking age is lowered to 18 in the United States, the result will be greater availability of alcohol not only to 18-20 year olds but also to those younger than 18. Studies in the U.S. have shown that lowering the drinking age to 18 also increases alcohol-related crashes for ages of 15 and up.
Should human cloning be allowed?
That is a question we must ask ourselves. Recently, less than two years ago, an event in genetic history changed our perspective of what we know as "Reproduction" and added to our conscience a new element to the study of Biology. This event immediately caught my interest and intrigued me. It was the birth of a unique sheep named Dolly. Dolly was a clone sheep born on February 12th 1997 (Henderson, pg. 2). Dolly's existence stuck like super glue onto my mind and refused to let go. I started pondering the true potential of cloning and how it could affect mankind. I considered the possibility of human cloning, the advantages and the disadvantages.
In order to debate the potential of human cloning, we must first consider how it ties in to certain aspects of human society. One of these aspects is determining how human cloning will affect scientific research. The continuation of human cloning and its related actions could drastically increase our scientific knowledge of genetics and lead us to new discoveries concerning the human body and related issues.
If human cloning were to undergo technological advances, the study of health would also drastically improve. Cloning would provide better research capabilities for finding cures to many present-day diseases.
In society today, public opinion about human cloning is divided. The supporters for human cloning argue that human cloning should be allowed, as the research may have to potential to eliminate many of the world's problems such as animal extinction and can also benefit mankind in many ways. On the other hand, the opposers of human cloning say that cloning is unethical and that we should not be defying the very foundation of natural creation.

Should abortion be banned?
Abortion is murder no matter when a person believes life becomes official. This controversy will remain for centuries, however the fact that a potential life has ended before given a chance remains evidence enough for most people to understand why a person should never have a choice of whether a baby lives or dies. There are many reasons abortion should be illegal including the descriptive and disturbing stories about how aborted babies sometime scream as they come out and the looks of pain on their faces. These facts alone should convince anyone to eliminate the idea of pregnancy termination out of their mind.
So yes im my opinion it should be banned and not permitted by the law since it is categorized as murder and also because it affect the health of the mother...

Should smoking be banned?
In my opinion smoking should definitely be banned in public places as it not only has delitirious effects on the non smokers present there but also may cause alergic coughing to many people.Besides,many youngsters are fascinated by the act of smoking and try to immitate it which may later develop into a habit.
Smoke which arises when a person smokes a cigarette,bidi or cigar is more hazardous to a passive smoker who inhales the smoke being in close vicinity of the active smoker. The smoke being inhaled by the former is unfiltered thereby causing more ill effects.Several pulmonary diseases such as cough,bronchitis,asthma and last but not the least carcinoma of lungs may occur as a consequence of smoking.
Many countries such as india have implemented a ban on public smoking.It has become mandatory to have no smoking zones in all eating joints,recreation centres etc.This practice may seem as a curbing of ones right to freedom especially to the smokers but surely this step will go a long way in achieving a healthier life style.Manypeople who gradually become aware of the ill effects of smoking are turning towards deaddiction centres to get rid of this habit.
Even the advocates of smoking in public areas dissapprove of the practice when it comes to their offsprings.Witnessing the elders smoking kindles similar desire in a youngster thereby giving birth to a new generation af smokers.

Animal testing for research purposes? Good or Bad?
There are many pros and cons to the practice of animal testing. Unfortunately, neither the pro's nor the con's seem to fully tip the scale to a side that pleases everyone - including the general public, government and scientists.
Pro's for Animal Testing
The major pro for animal testing is that it aids researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve health and medicine. Many medical treatments have been made possible by animal testing, including cancer and HIV drugs, insulin, antibiotics, vaccines and many more. It is for this reason that animal testing is considered vital for improving human health and it is also why the scientific community and many members of the public support its use. In fact, there are also individuals who are against animal testing for cosmetics but still support animal testing for medicine and the development of new drugs for disease.
Another important aspect to note is that animal testing helps to ensure the safety of drugs and many other substances humans use or are exposed to regularly. Drugs in particular can carry significant dangers with their use but animal testing allows researchers to initially gauge the safety of drugs prior to commencing trials on humans. This means that human harm is reduced and human lives are saved - not simply from avoidance of the dangers of drugs but because the drugs themselves save lives as well as improve the quality of human life.
Scientists typically use animals for testing purposes because they are considered similar to humans. As such, researchers do recognise the limitations and differences but the testing is done on animals because they are thought to be the closest match and best one with regards to applying this data to humans.
Con's Against Animal Testing
In animal testing, countless animals are experimented on and then killed after their use. Others are injured and will still live the remainder of their lives in captivity. The unfortunate aspect is that many of these animals received tests for substances that will never actually see approval or public consumption and use. It is this aspect of animal testing that many view as a major negative against the practice. This aspect seems to show the idea that the animal died in vain because no direct benefit to humans occurred from the animal testing.
Another con on the issue of animal testing is the sheer cost. Animal testing generally costs an enormous amount of money. Animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or a similar experimental substance. The controlled environment is important but it comes with a high cost. On top of that, animal testing may occur more than once and over the course of months, which means that additional costs are incurred. The price of animals themselves must also be factored into the equation. There are companies who breed animals specifically for testing and animals can be purchased through them.

This means that human harm is reduced and human lives are saved - not simply from avoidance of the dangers of drugs but because the drugs themselves save lives as well as improve the quality of human life.
Scientists typically use animals for testing purposes because they are considered similar to humans. As such, researchers do recognise the limitations and differences but the testing is done on animals because they are thought to be the closest match and best one with regards to applying this data to humans.
Con's Against Animal Testing
In animal testing, countless animals are experimented on and then killed after their use. Others are injured and will still live the remainder of their lives in captivity. The unfortunate aspect is that many of these animals received tests for substances that will never actually see approval or public consumption and use. It is this aspect of animal testing that many view as a major negative against the practice. This aspect seems to show the idea that the animal died in vain because no direct benefit to humans occurred from the animal testing.
Another con on the issue of animal testing is the sheer cost. Animal testing generally costs an enormous amount of money. Animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or a similar experimental substance. The controlled environment is important but it comes with a high cost. On top of that, animal testing may occur more than once and over the course of months, which means that additional costs are incurred. The price of animals themselves must also be factored into the equation. There are companies who breed animals specifically for testing and animals can be purchased through them.
Move Things With Your Mind
Sounds weird, doesn't it? You may think that a person who moves object with the mind does not belong to our planet. However, believe it or not, this task is certainly within the reach of humans. It is the power of the mind that can make the object move. It is the thought power that influences things, thereby forcing it to move. You need to take efforts in the right direction to accomplish this task. Moving things with your mind is not black magic, and it requires years of regular practice to get the desired result.
Moving objects with your mind requires a great deal of concentration. Your mental health needs to be in the topmost condition. A flickering or wavering mind is not capable to move objects. One has to fully concentrate on the object to be moved. The mind has to be free from all other thoughts. Practice and patience will help you to achieve that state of mind. Focus your mind on the object and make sure that you think of nothing else other than the object. Practicing this everyday as many times as you can will bring you to a stage when you start thinking the object as being a part of yourself. If you are focusing on the thing in the right manner, it is likely to move. A mind that is completely focused on the object without any distraction has the capability to show this magical phenomenon.
This rare ability of moving things by using the power of the mind is often termed as psychokinesis (telekinesis) (PK). A handful of people have shown the ability to move things with the mind. These people have demonstrated their PK abilities by moving objects like matches, crystal bowels, match boxes and even clock pendulums. One of them was even able to bend spoons and keys publicly. As only a few people have been able to demonstrate psychic abilities, it can be concluded that it is not easy to develop psychokinetic powers. There is no doubt that the power to mentally move an object is a remarkable feat.
Scientists are unable to explain the phenomenon of psychokinesis. They too are perplexed and have failed to understand how an object can be moved without physically touching it. Scientists are astonished and find it hard to believe that the mind is capable of directing objects the way it wants to. One theory says, when the mind is focused on some object, the thought power may be responsible for activating physical energy, thereby causing the object to move.

Is There Life on Other Planets?
Is there life on other planets? Most of us, at some point in life, must have pondered over this eternal query. Are we the only ones in the depths of this endless ocean called 'the universe'? Let us try to know about the endless list of possibilities that reside somewhere in the corners of our imagination.
Extraterrestrial life has always been the subject of human expressions in various forms like movies, paintings or popular stories. This topic has been a subject of intense debate, not only among the common people but also the intellectuals around the world. However, one fact clearly stands tall and that is; there is no proof till date that can conclusively state or authenticate the presence of a life form other than that on Earth. Even though there is no evidence, the possibility of a civilization existing somewhere out there, may be worth considering. Crop circles, another phenomenon that has benumbed humans, is thought to have been influenced by the aliens.
The most important factor in determining the presence of life is the environment. If we assume that the conditions such as those on Earth can be created anywhere in the universe or already exist in it, then the idea of life on that planet is almost a certainty. Based on the survival mechanism of human beings, we may be able to predict the possibility of a whole new set of beings similar to us. Human beings need air to breathe, water to drink and food for survival. The availability of these factors is a must for each one of us to sustain on Earth. Hence, there is a lot of curiosity among experts with regard to the planet Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, the moons of Jupiter and Saturn like Europa and Titan respectively, in our solar system. These have been found to have traces of water on their surface. Therefore, there is every chance that life will be able to thrive on these bodies.
The presence of life beyond the solar system is a very contentious matter. There is a section of people who believe that on account of the expanse of the Universe, there must be a planet like Earth that supports life. The issue is a matter of research and speculation. The argument that there could be a planet like Earth, that exists in the realms of the Universe is a very likely event. Considering the sheer expanse of the Universe, we may be tempted to believe in the theory that there is a parallel civilization flourishing somewhere out in the cosmos. The only constraint facing us and perhaps the aliens is that both sides are unaware of a communication mechanism. We, humans have come a long way since our evolution on this planet. But our achievements have not yet been able to make us aware of such an extraterrestrial being (if at all they exist). Similarly, if we again assume that a civilization does exist somewhere out there, even they have a long way to go and actually communicate with us.
The fact remains that so far we have not been able to detect life on other planets but at the same time there is no denying the possibility that it might actually exist!

Choosing the best soccer cleats
At the time to choose for the right soccer cleats you must follow the following steps:
Price range - Cleats come in a variety of price ranges, from the very cheapest discount store cleats to the highest quality ones worn by the pros. The first step in selecting the right soccer cleats should be to look at the range of cleats and prices in your area and settle on a reasonable budget for your needs and ability to pay. While price should not be your only consideration, you should be reasonable about what you are able to comfortably spend.
Brand - Do you have a brand preference? Many people do. Different brands have different features, so if you want a particular feature you will likely be limited in brand. If you are selective about brand, it will significantly narrow your range of choices, so make sure this is truly that important to you.
Type of store - The internet has a wide range of soccer cleats in every type, size, and budget imaginable. However, this is not always the preferred place to buy cleats. A local sporting goods store is often the better choice. These will have several brands over a range of prices and allow you to try on the cleats to find the pair that best fits you. Many even have a staff member trained to help players select the right cleat for them. Discount stores often have cleats for a very low price, but these tend to be of a lower quality that is appropriate only for beginners and the most casual players. While price is certainly a factor, don’t let it be the only factor.
Molded vs. Detachable - There are two basic types of cleats: molded and detachable. The molded variety is the most recognizable to American soccer players, with rubber or plastic soles that are attached to or a part of an actual show. These cannot be taken off the shoe, so it is very important that you make sure they fit properly the way you might with any other shoe. As the name suggests, detachable cleats have removable studs. This allows the player to find the studs that are right for them and the shoe that is right for them, instead of finding one that meets both requirements. It also allows the player to change between metal tipped, rubber, and plastic studs for different types of field.
Hardness of the ground - Soccer cleats come in three basic types: soft ground, firm ground, and hard ground. It’s important to know which type of field you will be playing on most of the time and to buy the correct type of cleat. The difference is in the material that the cleat is made of and how they are shaped. Firm ground cleats are the most common and can be used for most ground types if you plan to play on a variety of surfaces.
Material - Soccer cleats can be made of leather or synthetic materials. Leather is the favorite material because it is flexible and non-chafing. Synthetic leather is more durable and won’t stretch out in damp conditions. Some players prefer to wear synthetic cleats if they often play on wet grass. Cleats also come in a variety of materials, but which you choose will be determined by the type of ground you play on, as discussed above.
Comfort - Different cleats have different fits, so you may have to try on several different pairs before you find the one that is exactly right for you. Because these cleats will be worn for more than an hour at a time during intensely physical activity, it is important that you find the pair that best matches your foot size and shape. Even a slight chafe can become a problem in ninety minutes of game play.
Fit - If you are buying cleats for a child, you will probably be tempted to buy them a little big. However, this is not always a good idea. Unlike everyday shoes, soccer cleats are going to be worn in some of the player’s most active moments, times when a show not fitting properly may compromise the quality of the game and even increase the chance of injury. Even high quality cleats will likely be worn out before they are outgrown. However, remember that you will be wearing them with shin guards and thick socks. Try them on with all of your equipment.

Biography of Christiano Ronaldo" the best soccer player in the world"
He has an outstanding dribbling and goal scoring ability..
Ronaldo currently holds the distinction of being the most expensive player in football history after being transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth £80 million (€94m, US$132m). In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is to be paid £11 million per year over the following six years, makes him the highest paid football player in the world.
Ronaldo began his career as a youth player for Andorinha, where he played for two years, then moved to Nacional. In 1997, he made a move to Portuguese giants Sporting CP. Ronaldo's precocious talent caught the attention of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson and he signed the 18-year-old for £12.24 million in 2003. The following season, Ronaldo won his first club honour, the FA Cup, and reached the Euro 2004 final with Portugal, in which tournament he scored his first international goal.
In 2008, Ronaldo won the Champions League with United, and was named player of the tournament. He was named the FIFPro World Player of the Year and the FIFA World Player of the Year, in addition to becoming Manchester United's first Ballon d'Or winner in 40 years. Three-time Ballon d'Or winner Johan Cruyff said in an interview on 2 April 2008, "Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United."

An Interesting topic about the Nroth Pole Hole and what is underneath it
Aghartha In The Hollow Earth! The biggest cover-up of all time is the fact that there is a civilization of people living in the center of Earth, whose civilization's name is known as "Aghartha". This may be hard for some of you to believe. I know it was for me at first, however, I now have an absolute knowingness of the truth of this. To begin with, the Buddhists, in their theology fervently believe in its existence. They believe it to be a race of super men and women who occasionally come to the surface to oversee the development of the human race. They also believe that this subterranean world has millions of inhabitants and many cities, and their capital is Shamballa. The Master of this world was believed to have given orders to the Dalai Lama of Tibet, who was his terrestrial representative. His messages were being transmitted through certain secret tunnels connecting this inner world with Tibet. The famous Russian channel, Nicholas Roerich, who was a channel for the Ascended Master, El Morya, claimed that Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, was connected by a tunnel with the inner earth, Shamballa. The entrance of this tunnel was guarded by lamas who were sworn to secrecy. A similar tunnel was believed to connect the secret chambers at the base of the great pyramid at Giza, and Agartha. The Indian epic, the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita are the two most famous texts of India. The Ramayana tells the story of the great Avatar Rama. The Bhagavad Gita tells the story of Krishna. The Ramayana describes Rama as an "emissary from Agartha", who arrived on an air vehicle. This is quite extraordinary in that both the Buddhist and Hindu religions separately refer to Aghartha. The first public scientific evidence occurred in 1947 when Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd of the United States Navy flew directly to the North Pole and instead of going over the pole, actually entered the Inner Earth. In his diary with other witnesses, he tells of entering the hollow interior of the Earth, and traveling 1700 miles over mountains, lakes, rivers, green vegetation and animal life. He tells of seeing monstrous animals resembling the mammoth of antiquity moving through the underbrush. He eventually found cities and a thriving civilization. His plane was finally greeted by flying machines, the type he had never seen before. They escorted him to a safe landing place and he was graciously greeted by emissaries from Aghartha. After resting, he and his crew were taken to meet the Ruler of Aghartha. They told him that he had been allowed to enter Aghartha because of his high moral and ethical character. They went on to say that ever since the United States had dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagosaki, they had been very concerned for their own safety and survival. They had decided that it was time to make greater contact with the outside world to make sure we didn't destroy this planet and their civilization with it. They had been allowed in for this express purpose, as a way of making contact with someone they trusted. To make a long story short, Admiral Byrd and his crew, upon their visit, were guided by their hosts in their plane back to the outer world, and their lives were changed forever. In January, 1956, Admiral Byrd led another expedition to the Antarctic and/or the South Pole. In this expedition he and his crew penetrated for 2,300 miles into the center of Earth again. Admiral Byrd states that the North and South Pole are actually two of many openings to the center of Earth. I can't but help think about Jules Vernes famous science fiction book, "Journey to the Center of the Earth", which many of you may have read or watched the movie version movie. Admiral Byrd also states Inner Earth has an inner Sun. Admiral Byrd's theory is that the poles of the Earth are convex, rather than concave. Ships and planes can actually fly or drive right in. The American press announced Admiral Byrd's discovery, however it was immediately suppressed by our good friends, the Secret Government. Ray Palmer, the editor of "Flying Saucer Magazine" did a detailed story on Admiral Byrd's discovers. The United States Government either bought, stole or destroyed almost every copy and then destroyed the plates at the printing press. I have been told that the exact same thing happened in respect to an article done on Admiral Byrd's discovery by the "National Geographic". The magazine was released and the U.S. Government gobbled up almost every issue. If the story wasn't true how come the Government was so uptight? Another interesting fact is that the United States Government does not let planes fly over the poles. All flights are directed to go around the Poles, and any airline pilot flying in these areas will tell you this. Another interesting phenomena is the fact that the icebergs are composed of fresh water and not salt water that drift from the Poles. Another interesting question is why it is warmer nearer the Poles than it is 600 to 1000 miles away from it. In Dr. Raymond Bernard's book called "The Hollow Earth" he tells of a man who confirmed Admiral Byrd's story. Dr. Nephi Cotton of Los Angeles reported that one of his patients, a man of Nordic descent, told him the following story: "I lived near the Arctic Circle in Norway. One summer my friend and I made up our minds to take a boat trip together and go as far as we could into the North country. So we put a months worth of food provisions in a small fishing boat and set to sea. "At the end of one month we had traveled far into the north, beyond the Pole and into a strange new country. We were much astonished at the weather there. Warm, and at times at night it was almost too warm to sleep. Then we saw something so strange that we were both astonished. Ahead of the warm open sea we were on what looked like a great mountain. Into that mountain at a certain point that ocean seemed to be emptying. Mystified, we continued in that direction and found ourselves sailing into a vast canyon leading into the interior of the Earth. We kept sailing and then we saw what surprised us… a Sun shining inside the Earth. "The ocean that had carried us into the hollow interior of the Earth gradually became a river. This river led, as we came to realize later, all through the inner surface of the world from one end to the other. It can take you, if you follow it long enough, from the North Pole clear through to the South Pole. "We saw that the inner surface of the Earth was divided, as the other one is, into both land and water. There is plenty of sunshine and both animal and vegetable life abounds there. We sailed further and further into this fantastic country, fantastic because everything was huge in size as compared with things on the outside. Plants are big, trees gigantic and finally we came to giants. |
Steganography
Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messages in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message, a form of security through obscurity.
The first recorded use of the term was in 1499 by Johannes Trithemius in his Steganographia, a treatise on cryptography and steganography disguised as a book on magic.
Steganography includes the concealment of information within computer files. In digital steganography, electronic communications may include steganographic coding inside an image, music, document or program file..
Media files are ideal for steganographic transmission because of their large size. As a simple example, a sender might start with an innocuous image file and adjust the color of every 100th pixel to correspond to a letter in the alphabet,

Spain lose against switzerland??
The most acclaimed and favorite team for this worldcup just loss against switzerland.. It is amazing how this world cup changed all of our spectation for spain and other teams we believed were good such as italy, mexico, france and many more..
Spain played a really good game but they couldnt score at all since the opossing defense was solid and did a good job.. Spain has really good soocer but they couldnt score at all.. The goal from switzerland was pretty neat and fair because the defense of spain didnt do a good job. I think that if spain doesnt begin to score we are going to actually not see the favorite team of everyone on the finals

Guitar lesson #1
Have you always wanted to play guitar, but never got around to actually getting started? Here is reason to begin... a free online guitar lesson, which is essentially the same lesson I teach all new students. You'll learn how to hold a guitar and pick, the names of parts of the guitar, a scale, a few chords, and a couple of songs..
You will need:
A guitar with six strings. Any type of guitar will work fine.
A guitar pick. Medium gauged picks are recommended to start with, but any will work okay in a pinch.
A chair without arms.
A reasonable amount of patience.
Lets begin:
PARTS OF A GUITAR
Although there are many different types of guitars (acoustic, electric, classical, electric-acoustic, etc.), they all have many things in common
At the top of the guitar is the "headstock", a general term which describes the part of the guitar attached to the slimmer neck of the instrument. On the headstock are "tuners", which you will use to adjust the pitch of each of the of the strings on the guitar.
At the point in which the headstock meets the neck of the guitar, you'll find the "nut". A nut is simply a small piece of material (plastic, bone, etc.), in which small grooves are carved out to guide the strings up to the tuners.
The neck of the guitar is the area of the instrument you'll concentrate a great deal on: you'll put your fingers on various places on the neck, in order to create different notes.
The neck of the guitar adjoins the "body" of the instrument. The body of the guitar will vary greatly from guitar to guitar. Most acoustic and classical guitars have a hollowed out body, and a "sound hole", designed to project the sound of the guitar. Most electric guitars have a solid body, and thus will not have a sound hole. Electric guitars will instead have "pick-ups" where the soundhole is located. These "pick-ups" are essentially small microphones, which allow the capture the sound of the ringing strings, allowing them to be amplified.
The strings of the guitar run from the tuning pegs, over the nut, down the neck, over the body, over the sound hole (or pick-ups), and are anchored at a piece of hardware attached to the body of the guitar, called a "bridge".
Now, that we know about the basic parts of a guitar, it's time to get our hands dirty, and start learning to play it. Get yourself an armless chair, and take a seat. You should be sitting comfortably, with your back against the back of the chair. Slouching significantly is a no-no; you'll not only end up with a sore back, you'll develop bad habits on the guitar.
When playing the guitar sitting down, the body of the guitar will rest on one of your legs. In most styles of guitar playing, the guitar will rest on the leg farthest away from the headstock. This means, a person playing the guitar in a right-handed fashion will typically rest the guitar on his/her right leg, while someone playing the guitar in a lefty manner will rest it on their left leg.
Each string is classified by frets.. Each fret produces a different sound.. Each string its classified as follows from bottom to top...

The neck of the guitar is the area of the instrument you'll concentrate a great deal on: you'll put your fingers on various places on the neck, in order to create different notes.
The neck of the guitar adjoins the "body" of the instrument. The body of the guitar will vary greatly from guitar to guitar. Most acoustic and classical guitars have a hollowed out body, and a "sound hole", designed to project the sound of the guitar. Most electric guitars have a solid body, and thus will not have a sound hole. Electric guitars will instead have "pick-ups" where the soundhole is located. These "pick-ups" are essentially small microphones, which allow the capture the sound of the ringing strings, allowing them to be amplified.
The strings of the guitar run from the tuning pegs, over the nut, down the neck, over the body, over the sound hole (or pick-ups), and are anchored at a piece of hardware attached to the body of the guitar, called a "bridge".
Now, that we know about the basic parts of a guitar, it's time to get our hands dirty, and start learning to play it. Get yourself an armless chair, and take a seat. You should be sitting comfortably, with your back against the back of the chair. Slouching significantly is a no-no; you'll not only end up with a sore back, you'll develop bad habits on the guitar.
When playing the guitar sitting down, the body of the guitar will rest on one of your legs. In most styles of guitar playing, the guitar will rest on the leg farthest away from the headstock. This means, a person playing the guitar in a right-handed fashion will typically rest the guitar on his/her right leg, while someone playing the guitar in a lefty manner will rest it on their left leg.
Each string is classified by frets.. Each fret produces a different sound.. Each string its classified as follows from bottom to top...

Crazy day!
Today two of my coworkers got fired.. Me and my other coworkers were in shock of how quick the company has fired almost 6 people in less than a year.. We dont know why they got fired but from what i heard it was because they didnt do anything at the workplace..but it might be something else that they dont want others to know.. It is really a shame that the people that you used to work with were on bad things inside the company..
Saturday
What a great day to start practicing soccer! Last saturday i was playing soccer all day after watching the world cup games... It was good since i played with a lot of people and it made me get back to the sport!:) Now i have to train harder since my stamina was not as good as i tought i was.. Getting back to the athletic phisic i used to have its gonna take me sometime but it is worth trying since my dream is to be a professional soccer player.
World cup just begun!!
The world cup that most of us have been waiting for is here! This is the only time every nation gets together to enjoy the most amazing sport in the world! It is amazing how soccer motivates people around the world. The innaguration of the world cup took place with mexico playing against the host south africa. I was not able to watch it because of work but i saw the result and i have to say that mexico had the game in this match but they tied.. It is really amazing how predicting a game is never the way you thought the game was going to finish.. Mexico its ranked in the top 10 best national teams around the world while south africa isnt, but they demostrated that they can play soccer..talking about the innaguration of world cup, it is amazing how they did the presentation in stadium! Great show with shakira as the main artist of the world cup..
Iphone 4
Ok so the iphone is finally coming out this july!! The phone has all the specs we were hoping it will have.. From front camera to HD quality screen thats even better 10x better than any phone out at this moment.. Also a camera with 5 megapixels and a LED flash.. Multitasking operating system capable of openning many apps at the same time.. The design of the phone its completly different from how the iphone 3gs looks like.. It is slimmer and lighter...also the battery supports up to 7 hours of talkiing

Pigpen cipher
The pigpen cipher or the Masonic/Freemason’s cipher is a simple encryption scheme used in the 16th century to secure correspondence between the Freemasons members.
The cipher is created by replacing each letter of the alphabet with a symbol, therefore it is defined nowadays as a simple substitution cipher. This cipher looks like if it is out of this world...

Crop circles
Most of us have seen crop circles. Crop circles are massive or large areas of crop, anything from corn to potatoes, which are depressed or lower than the other field of crop by magnetic fields. Crop circles are known to mysteriously and bafflingly appear overnight.
Many believe it is a type of communication from extra terrestrials or aliens. Others say it is made by humans which in my opinion it is nearly impossible to have such perfection and huge machinery at the time to do such designs..there is also a fact that most of the crop circles have been sight of the presence of UFOs..
It is said that a UFO can cause a crop circle by using microwaves to ignite or heating up the moisture inside the joints of the crop, which makes it keel or grovel over to it's right.
There is also a drawing that was found on a tablet in ancient Egypt. The picture depicts two very tall people next to a spiral formation in a field of crop.. This indeed is impossible for people during those times to make designs at such perfection without any type of technology..
unexplained consequences if you enter the area of a crop circle. Wristwatches spin out of control, compasses point the wrong way, and there is also a syndrome that affects only a tiny proportion of males that enter a crop circle.

My chewbacca
My dog is getting big with the past of the days. He has learned a lot of tricks in the last couple of days. He has learned how to sit, lay down, give paw, roll over, stay, sit pretty and play dead. He is really good at learning tricks that i might put him in an agility competition. Terriers in my opinion are really intelligent, he obeys me in everything i say.. This is one of the best dogs i had in my life. Before i had almost every type of dog, from golden retriver to sharpeis, i have to say that golden's are very intelligent too. In the future im thinking of getting a pug because of its size and funny face..also it will make a great companion to my chewbacca.

Gym training workout
This month im triying to burn ft as much as i could possibly can, for this reason i have made a burning fat program:
Monday
Catastetics conformed of push ups, pull ups, sit ups and cable.
Cardio conformed of tredmill for 20 min with interval running and bicycle for 20 min
Weights depending on the body part for each day..
Im going to do this for a month and then hit the weights normally all over again.. This will increase my endurance and stamina fast.. This year im trying to be fitted for any sport out there..

Petrollium in the golf day 41
This has been really sad to watch for the last couple of weeks. Most part of the water is completely cover by petrollium and nobody is doing anything about it.
President obama should take more consideration on this problem since its killing almost every living creature that is near the golf and in the ocean. Only hope it doesnt come to the point that species around the area are going to be in danger of extintion.. Obama has to put his pants and act as soon as possible before something else happens since petrollium is flamable and could cause seious damages to nearby civilians.

Picking the right portable computer.
This is a guide to get the right portable computer.
In my opinion the stats for picking the right computer are as follows:
Choosing the right RAM is important. Also depending on how much space you need you might have to get more memory.
In my opinion i would pick for a computer with 4GB of RAM..theres two types of RAM DDR2 and DDR3.. DDR3 is a newer technology and faster processing..
Now the memory storage depends on how much memory you need.. For me the minimum for a laptop to be is 350GB of hardrive and up wih a 7200rpm as the speed..
I wouldnt buy a laptop with an intel graphic card in it..i would rather buy a Nvidia or a ATI graphic card..a desginer must rely on a good graphic card to the job.
The processor needs to be fast and very effcient. Intel and AMD make great processors. But it does not mean that by picking any intel or AMD processor you arr going to get the speed your computer needs to run properly. For this it is important to choose for a procesdor with speed greater than 2.0 GHz.. Intel clasiffies their processors by model and number.. The new intel proccesors are dual core which mean that comes with two processors that work individually with their own cache and operator. A dual core can work as fast or even faster than a single core processor. The new processor from intel are divided into the sub model "i" which depending on the number can get a speed of 3.15 to 3.30 GHz. AMD classifies their chips in a similar manner. Their dual core is classified as "x2" and the speed is the same as intel even better for gaming.
Those are the most important parts a computer must have to be as effiencient as it can possibly be. Well after that it comes to if you like to have a bluray to watch movies, a tv tuner to watch tv from your computer, a touch screen interface computer, the camera, the size of the laptop could vary from 12 to 17 inches, face recognition security, finger print security, HDMI input.
