Large explosions in U.S.

Just like what's on 24, ..large explosions in US.
you dont know "24" - the TV series..?
At least two people were seriously injured on Wednesday in a series of large explosions that rocked an area near downtown Dallas, in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas.
Texasm a state i dont like very much.
The blasts were apparently caused by gas tanks used for welding, showering flaming shrapnel around the area.
That's nearly the same as just shown in 24.
A preliminary investigation found that the explosions at the Southwest Industrial Gases, Inc. facility might be caused by a truck loaded with oxygen canisters.
The truck might have exploded at the facility, causing gas tanks there to explode.
But this time, are real explosions.
Residents within half a mile of the site of explosions were evacuated, and part of the I-35 and I-30 highways close to the site that sells liquefied natural gas was closed.
ha ha .. I like evacuation...people can move to new places and have new lifes.

know more of Taleban

The world first became aware of the Taleban in 1994 when they were appointed by Islamabad to protect a convoy trying to open up a trade route between Pakistan and Central Asia.
Now, Taleban is fomous all over the world.
But, how much do you know about Taleban?
The group - comprised of Afghans trained in religious schools in Pakistan along with former Islamic fighters or mujahedin - proved effective bodyguards, driving off other mujahedin groups who attacked and looted the convoy.
They went on to take the nearby city of Kandahar, beginning a remarkable advance which led to their capture of the capital, Kabul, in September 1996.
The Taleban's popularity with many Afghans initially surprised the country's warring mujahedin factions.
As ethnic Pashtuns, a large part of their support came from Afghanistan's Pashtun community, disillusioned with existing ethnic Tajik and Uzbek leaders.
But it was not purely a question of ethnicity. Ordinary Afghans, weary of the prevailing lawlessness in many parts of the country, were often delighted by Taleban successes in stamping out corruption, restoring peace and allowing commerce to flourish again.
Their refusal to deal with the existing warlords whose rivalries had caused so much killing and destruction also earned them respect.
The Taleban said their aim was to set up the world's most pure Islamic state, banning frivolities like television, music and cinema.
Their attempts to eradicate crime have been reinforced by the introduction of Islamic law including public executions and amputations.
A flurry of regulations forbidding girls from going to school and women from working quickly brought them into conflict with the international community.
Such issues, along with restrictions on women's access to health care, have also caused some resentment among ordinary Afghans.
The Taleban now control all but the far north of the country, which is the last stronghold of the ethnic Tajik commander Ahmed Shah Masood.
With 90% of the country under their control, the Taleban have continued to press claims for international recognition.
But the Afghan seat at the United Nations continues to be held by former President Burhanuddin Rabbani.
The UN sanctions which have now been imposed on the country make it even less likely that the Taleban will gain that recognition.
The sanctions are intended to force the Taleban to hand over the Saudi-born militant Osama Bin Laden, who is accused by the United States of plotting the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed more than 250 people.
The Taleban say that Osama Bin Laden is a guest in their country, and they will not take action against him.
Afghanistan has suffered 20 years of war, and this year has brought the worst drought in decades.

Interesting Country - Canada

The man who created a detection system used by MySpace to track and expel 29,000 American-registered sex offenders from the online social network site says Ottawa's information laws are preventing detection verification companies from tracking Canadian offenders.
Canada is an interesting country. They live to help the offenders to break the laws.
The public does not have access to the national sex offender registry -- a database that provides Canadian police services with information to investigate crimes of a sexual nature.
I dont like the is stupid nation.
MySpace, which has an estimated 180 million profiles, announced Wednesday it had "partnered with Sentinel Tech to build technology to remove registered sex offenders from our site."
That's why even Canada is a resource very rich nation, it is so poor.
"Through this innovative technology, we're pleased that we've successfully identified and deleted these registered sex offenders and hope that other social networking sites follow our lead," Hemanshu Nigam, MySpace's chief security officer said in a release.
Speaking from his company's offices in Miami, Fla., Cardillo said keeping sexual predators off the Internet is no longer a technical challenge, it's become a political challenge, with only the United States freeing up information to companies like his to integrate a database of predators into a detection system.

Abby Lockhart in ER

I like watching ER, I like Abby ..
Maura Tierney, a familiar face to television viewers after her four-year role as newswriter Lisa Miller on NBC’s critically acclaimed comedy “NewsRadio,” has shifted to a more dramatic gear on the full-throttle pace of “ER” where she received an Emmy Award nomination for her performance as a former medical student who’s resumed her nursing career in the ER.
Even Abby is not very pretty, but many poeple like to watch her performance in ER.
Born in Boston, Tierney says she prefers living in New York over Los Angeles -- or for that matter, any other city she’s visited.
She has made a habit of travel; she and her husband drive cross-country for fun and adventure and they’ve only missed two states so far.
However, she divides her working time between New York and Los Angeles.
If you like watching ER, I believe you are also a fans of Abby.
Tierney, who has always been interested in the dramatic arts, attended New York University and Circle-in-the-Square Theatre School. Her stage credits include roles in “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” “The Bald Soprano,” “Baby with Bathwater,” “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea” and “Talking With.”
The young actress had her first starring role on television in Norman Lear’s comedy series “704 Hauser Street.” Tierney’s additional credits include starring in the television films “Out of Darkness,” “Student Exchange” and “Crossing the Mob.” She guest-starred in the series “Growing Pains,” “Family Ties” and NBC’s “Law & Order.”
On the big screen, Tierney starred with Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock in the film “Forces of Nature,” opposite Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. in “Instinct,” alongside John Travolta and Emma Thompson in Mike Nichols’ “Primary Colors,” and opposite Jim Carrey in “Liar, Liar.” Earlier this year she was seen in “Scotland P.A.,” written and directed by her husband, Billy Morrissette, and also starring Christopher Walken and Tierney’s former “NewsRadio” co-star Andy Dick. Tierney was most recently seen starring opposite Al Pacino, Robin Williams, and Hilary Swank in “Insomnia.”
Tierney lives in Los Angeles with her husband. Her birthday is February 3.

29,000 sex offenders removed from MySpace website

Wo, so many sex offenders in MySpace.
The operators of MySpace have identified and removed more than 29,000 registered sex offenders with profiles on the hugely popular website, according to the US authorities.
but, any one knows how much are still in MySpace?
The figure is more than four times higher than that announced by the social networking site earlier this year.
It has been obtained by the authorities in North Carolina, which demanded that MySpace provide data on how many registered sex offenders were using the site, as well as information about where they live.

NBA has to do much more

NBA is such a big business .
Call it cynicism. Call it pessimism. Call it sensationalism. No matter what you call it?
But anyone who thinks ex-NBA ref Tim Donaghy -- who allegedly bet on basketball games -- is the league's first official to gamble is crazy.
It is real crazy.
Anyone who thinks he is the first to bet on sports -- or on NBA games, for that matter -- is naive.
Commissioner David Stern appeared shaken and as emotional as you're ever going to see him during Tuesday's news conference in New York concerning the federal investigation involving Donaghy, a gambling ring and organized crime.
But his much-awaited response, however sympathetic, missed the mark as he failed to take any responsibility.
Stern pointed to the league's rigorous system of checking up on its officials, even comparing it to the CIA and FBI, and labeled Donaghy, who resigned July 9, a "rogue ... criminal."

It is a big business ..
The truth is the NBA had enough red flags to eject an entire soccer team.
Donaghy's history of volatility and his alleged involvement in gambling in 2005 were enough to put the microscope on him. What's more, the integrity and ability of today's officials and the NBA's officiating system has been repeatedly questioned -- by coaches such as Phil Jackson, by owners such as Mark Cuban, by former officials such as Joey Crawford and by plenty of players.
Stern was right about one thing: If an official is intent on breaking the rules, he can.
But here are a few ways the league can catch them more quickly, or at least force them to have to work a little harder:
More accountability: As it stands now, officials aren't available to the media, so they don't have to answer for their on-court decisions publicly.
What's more, players and coaches are fined for commenting negatively about officials.
The lack of accountability is magnified because NBA officials have what is considered the toughest job in sports because of the amount of judgment calls they have to make and the impact of their decisions. Yet, they are shielded from public scrutiny, and even their reprimands are done privately.
Well, it's time to put them on the spot.
Let them answer for their questionable calls.
Let's make it public knowledge who is grading out poorly, when someone is chastised and when the league's evaluation shows the wrong call was made in a pivotal situation.

How big is Google's database?

In case you were wondering how much information Google stores, here is the answer.
Google search crawler uses 850 TB of information, so that's the amount of raw data from the web.
Google Analytics uses 220 TB stored in two tables: 200 TB for the raw data and 20 TB for the summaries.
Google Earth uses 70.5 TB: 70 TB for the raw imagery and 500 GB for the index data.
The second table "is relatively small (500 GB), but it must serve tens of thousands of queries per second per datacenter with low latency".
Personalized Search doesn't need too much data: only 4 TB.
Personalized Search stores each user's data in Bigtable.
Each user has a unique userid and is assigned a row named by that userid.
All user actions are stored in a table.
Google Base uses 2 TB and Orkut only 9 TB of data.
If we take into account that all this information is compressed. Ffor example, the crawled data has compression rate of 11%, so 800 TB become 88 TB, Google uses for all the services mentioned before 220 TB.
It's also interesting to note that the size of the raw imagery from Google Earth is almost equal to the size of the compressed web pages crawled by Google.

Linda Cardellini in ER

Linda Cardellini reprises the role of nurse Samantha Taggart on the hit medical drama, “ER” as the series begins its twelfth season.
ER is one of the best TV dramas I like very much.
In addition to her role on “ER,” Cardellini will be seen in three films this year; Aric Avelino’s drama “American Gun,” starring as part of an ensemble that includes Donald Sutherland and Forest Whitaker; Nick Goossen’s comedy “Nana’s Boy” with Shirley Jones, Shirley Knight, Doris Roberts and Nick Swardson and in “Brokeback Mountain” for director Ang Lee.
Linda is one of the pretty girls in ER.
She was most recently seen in the sequel to the hit live-action animated feature “Scooby Doo,” which also starred Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Matthew Lillard. Cardellini reprised her role as Velma Dinkley, the brains of Mystery, Inc., in “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.”
Making her mark in the critically acclaimed series “Freaks and Geeks,” Cardellini starred as Lindsay Weir.
Her witty and biting portrayal of the teen still resonates among the shows cult following.
If you like Linda, check her shows ...
Among Cardellini's other film credits are “Legally Blonde,” “Good Burger,” “Dead Man on Campus” , the thriller “Strangeland,” and the independent feature “The Unsaid,” opposite Andy Garcia.
She also recently completed work on another independent project, “Welcome to LaLa Wood,” opposite Martin Short.
Cardellini’s other television work includes “The Lot,” “Guys Like Us” and “Bone Chillers.” Her guest appearances include “3rd Rock from the Sun,” “The Twilight Zone,” “Boy Meets World,” “Clueless” and “Pacific Palisades.”
A native of Mountain View, California, Cardellini always wanted to entertain and loves the art of bringing written characters to life. She currently lives in Los Angeles. Her birthday is June 25.

Taliban is going to kill..

Afghanistan's Taliban threatened to start killing 23 South Korean hostages Wednesday if their demands were not met, and claimed responsibility for kidnapping a German journalist.
Taliban is a group of killers.
The reporter, whom officials said was seized with his translator in eastern Afghanistan while investigating civilian casualties in NATO air strikes, is the third German national in a week to be abducted in the war-torn country.
Even I dont like the way US handle the Taliban people, but Taliban are not good guys.
The Islamist Taliban said talks to free the Christian aid workers from South Korea had stalled and vowed to kill some of them later Wednesday if eight jailed insurgents were not released by the Afghan government.
Taliban is going to Korean people this time.
The deadline has already expired. Those Korean will be killed 2:00 pm.
Ahmadi charged that the government of President Hamid Karzai was "not honest in negotiations.
We have given them the list of eight Taliban prisoners for exchange for eight Koreans but they are dealing with the issue carelessly.
The deadline passed with no further claims from the militants about the fate of the Korean hostages.
The fresh threat came despite frantic negotiations by South Korean and Afghan officials who have travelled to the insurgency-hit southern province of Ghazni to lead the efforts to save the hostages, who are mainly women.
The South Koreans are the biggest group of foreigners to be abducted by the Taliban since US-led forces toppled the hardline regime in late 2001 after the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
Waheedullah Mujadadi, the chief negotiator for the Afghan government, said he was unaware of the new deadline but added that authorities were still studying the idea of freeing the jailed insurgents.
911 was a sad story, will be in people's mind forever.
Any prisoner exchange would run counter to Karzai's pledge not to allow the practice after his government in March freed five Taliban militants in exchange for an Italian reporter.

Harry has broken the record again

Even I dont like harry very much...but I have to tell you ..
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has broken records in the US, selling 8.3 million copies in its first 24 hours on sale.
why so many people like harry??
It also sold 2.65 million in the UK, becoming the quickest seller out of the entire series.
2.65 mil just in UK..my god..
The previous high was in 2005 for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which sold 2 million in its first day of release.
The long-awaited finale to JK Rowling's international best-sellers hit shops on Saturday, and it was released simultaneously around the world.
More than a thousand fans queued at the Waterstones' bookshop in the centre of London, where many were dressed as wizards for the midnight launch.
dont tell me u are one of them in the queue...
Another 1,000 waited at Asda's superstore in Pudsey, near Leeds, where the 17.99Pd books were being sold for a mere fiver.

Japanese Pop Music

J-pop can be traced to jazz music which became popular during the early Shōwa period (i.e. the reign of emperor Hirohito). Jazz introduced many musical instruments, previously used only to perform classical music and military marches, to bars and clubs.
It also added an element of "fun" to the Japanese music scene.
As a result "Ongaku Kissa" (音楽喫茶 – lit. "music cafe") became a very popular venue for live jazz music.
Under pressure from the Imperial Army during World War II, the performance of jazz music was temporarily halted. After the war ended the United States soldiers—who were occupying Japan at the time—and the Far East Network introduced a number of new musical styles to the country.
Boogie-woogie, Mambo, Blues, and Country music were performed by Japanese musicians for the American troops. Songs like Shizuko Kasagi's "Tokyo Boogie-Woogie" (1948), Eri Chiemi's "Tennessee Waltz" (1951), Misora Hibari's "Omatsuri Mambo", and Izumi Yukimura's "Omoide no Waltz" became popular.
Foreign musicians and groups including JATP and Louis Armstrong visited Japan to perform.
1952 was declared the "Year of the Jazz Boom" but the genre itself demanded a high level of technical proficiency and was difficult to play.
As a result many amateur Japanese musicians turned to country music, which was far easier to learn and perform.
This in turn led to a proliferation of country-based music.
In 1956 the rock-and-roll craze began thanks to a country music group known as Kosaka Kazuya and the Wagon Masters and their rendition of Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel.
The rock-and-roll movement would reach its peak in 1959 with the release of a movie featuring performances by a number of Japanese rock-and-roll bands.
Some performers attempted to merge traditional Japanese pop music with rock-and-roll. One of few musicians to be successful in this effort was Sakamoto Kyū with the song "Ue wo Muite Arukō" (lit. "Let's Look Up and Walk"), known in other parts of the world as "Sukiyaki".
The song was the first Japanese song to reach #1 in the United States (four weeks in Cashbox Magazine and three weeks in Billboard magazine) in its native language in America and also to receive a "Gold Record" for selling one million copies.
Other performers learned to play the music and translate the lyrics of popular American songs, resulting in the birth of "cover pop."
However, the popularity of these acts faded as radio and television gave every household the opportunity to watch the original musicians perform. The concept of karaoke and its subsequent popularity can arguably be attributed to the cover pop phenomenon.
From the early 1970s to the mid-1980s the emphasis shifted from simple songs with a single guitar accompaniment ("folk") to more complex musical arrangements known as New Music.
Instead of social messages, the songs focused on more personal messages, such as love. Takuro Yoshida and Yosui Inoue are two notable New Music artists.

iPhone - do u like it ??

Hacker like any new kind of toys....
The long-term viability of the iPhone is unlikely to be seriously damaged by reports of a serious security vulnerability that allows hackers to take over the device.
Most early iPhone adopters have bought into the Apple mythology which convinces them that anything blessed by Steve Jobs is automatically desirable, so we won't see a mass return of the shiny devices with their slick interface.
And we've all learned to live with bugs, crashes, malicious software and the many other hassles that come with modern computers.
An insecure phone is just another thing to add to the list of things that can go wrong, and Apple will soon release a patch to fix the problem, because the iPhone, gets regular updates to its operating software just like Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
Unruly Oxford students have been tracked down by the university authorities, a beauty queen in the USA has been blackmailed over supposedly private photos, and employees have been told that their employers may own any profiles or contacts lists they create using work computers.
believe it or not, it is not safe.
In the networked world people can find out these things about me, and so anyone who wants to verify my identity should realise that they can no longer rely on them in any way. If they continue to do so then they should be responsible for the consequences, not me.

flooding - not just in china

Some 350,000 homes in Gloucestershire will soon be without water because of flooding at a treatment works.
This news reminds me ..when I was young, living in the country..
Tens of thousands of homes are without tap water and supplies in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury will run dry in hours.
The Chief Constable of Gloucestershire Police Tim Brain said the supply was unlikely to be restored for a week.
Power is being restored to many parts of Gloucester and Cheltenham after a sub-station was switched off earlier.
An overnight operation was carried out overnight at the Walham Switching Station, which supplies half a million homes in Gloucestershire and south Wales.
A number of public health issues have been identified as a result of the flooding.
flooding is not just happened in china, it also happens ...any where ..too bad..

Elvis - a super star

Do you know Elvis, may be only in the history.
Elvis AaronPresley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977), was an American singer, musician and actor.
Elvis past before I was borned.
He is a cultural icon, often known simply as Elvis; also "The King of Rock 'n' Roll", or simply "The King".
Presley began his career as one of the first performers of rockabilly, an uptempo fusion of country and rhythm and blues with a strong back beat.
His novel versions of existing songs, mixing 'black' and 'white' sounds, made him popular - and controversial - as did his uninhibited stage and television performances.
He recorded songs in the rock and roll genre, with tracks like "Jailhouse Rock" and "Hound Dog" later embodying the style.
He developed a versatile voice and had success with other genres, including gospel, blues, ballads and pop.
To date, he is the only performer to have been inducted into three separate music 'Halls of Fame'.
Presley made thirty-three movies, the majority during the 1960s, but he made a critically-acclaimed return to live music in 1968, followed by performances in Las Vegas and across the U.S. Throughout his career, he set records for concert attendance, television ratings and records sales.
He is one of the best-selling and most influential artists in the history of popular music.
His premature death, at age 42, shocked his fans worldwide.
But many people believe ..Elvis is still alive ..believe it or not ..up to you..

DNA .. the chemical secert

In living organisms, DNA does not usually exist as a single molecule, but instead as a tightly-associated pair of molecules.
These two long strands entwine like vines, in the shape of a double helix.
The nucleotide repeats contain both the segment of the backbone of the molecule, which holds the chain together, and a base, which interacts with the other DNA strand in the helix.
In general, a base linked to a sugar is called a nucleoside and a base linked to a sugar and one or more phosphate groups is called a nucleotide.
If multiple nucleotides are linked together, as in DNA, this polymer is referred to as a polynucleotide.
The backbone of the DNA strand is made from alternating phosphate and sugar residues.[8] The sugar in DNA is 2-deoxyribose, which is a pentose (five carbon) sugar.
The sugars are joined together by phosphate groups that form phosphodiester bonds between the third and fifth carbon atoms of adjacent sugar rings.
These asymmetric bonds mean a strand of DNA has a direction.
In a double helix the direction of the nucleotides in one strand is opposite to their direction in the other strand. This arrangement of DNA strands is called antiparallel.
The asymmetric ends of a strand of DNA bases are referred to as the 5 (five prime) and 3 (three prime) ends. One of the major differences between DNA and RNA is the sugar, with 2-deoxyribose being replaced by the alternative pentose sugar ribose in RNA.
The DNA double helix is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the bases attached to the two strands. The four bases found in DNA are adenine (abbreviated A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).
These four bases are shown below and are attached to the sugar/phosphate to form the complete nucleotide, as shown for adenosine monophosphate.

Deep DNA Memory

Do you know why you can remember?
Do you know how your brain works?
Here are some of the secrets..
Let’s say you have always had a significant fear of bears since you were a child. Even Smokey the Bear and other friendly Hollywood bears could not convince you to regard bears with anything but anxiety and fearful feelings.
Maybe it is possible that deep, deep within your DNA memory banks, your great-great-great-great-grandmother or great-great-great-great-grandfather had a very bad experience with a bear two hundred years ago. Maybe they saw someone be killed by a bear. Maybe they had to climb a tree to save themselves from being eaten by a bear.
Would a life-changing experience like this, resulting in knowledge very useful for survival, possibly be encoded in the DNA and passed on to future generations and you?
If there were a way to go deep down into your mind and consciousness, and into your genetic history, maybe through some kind of altered state like a dream or through some kind of trigger, could you recall and experience that event?
Could you relive and re-experience in some way great-great-great-great grandma’s or grandpa’s harrowing and hair-raising close encounter with a hungry bear two hundred years ago?
What about some similar “peak experience” or life-changing event of an ancient relative five hundred years ago? What about five thousand years ago? After all, we know that at least some part of that history is inside all of us, right in the DNA in every cell of our body, right now.

Esquire

Do u know what is a esq. ?
read if u want to know ...
Esquire (abbreviated Esq.) is a title of honour and dignity ranked below a knight and above a gentleman, allowed, for example, to the sons of nobles and to the gentry who do not possess any other title.
It ultimately derived from the medieval term squire.
On this basis, a gentleman was traditionally designated Mr ('mister' before his name), whereas an Esquire was designated 'Esq.' (without a nominal prefix) after his name.
Still dont understand ..go on reading ...
A very late example of this distinction is in the list of subscribers to The History of Elton, by the Rev. Rose Fuller Whistler, published in 1882, which clearly distinguishes between subscribers designated "Mr" and those designated "Esquire" — of higher social position; though old-fashioned, "Esq." remains widely used in "upper-class" circles.
wo ..old fashion and modem english ...
The suffix "Esq." has no legal meaning in the United States as a whole.
It may, in theory, be given to anyone (usually a man).
In practice, it is applied primarily to lawyers (of both sexes in the United States only).

In some states, using the term in a manner that might lead others to assume you are licensed to practice law in that state can be used as evidence of unauthorized practice of law.
Americans don't typically refer to themselves as an "esquire".
It is more often used as an honorific when referring to another person.
The tradition of referring to a lawyer with the title "esquire" is reminiscent of the British practice in which barristers claimed the status "Esquire" and solicitors used the term "Gentleman".
In the United States, though a lawyer may choose to specialize in litigation or other types of law, there are no licensing or bar membership distinctions between the equivalent roles of barrister and solicitor.
funny enough ..if u come across esq in a movie ..
According to Bill from the movie, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, the definition of esquire is "a very important person." Bill often introduces himself in the movie as Bill S. Preston, Esquire.

Corporate lawyer

one of my boy friend is a Corporate lawyer.
i always ask him, what is his job...
if u also want to know ...go on reading ...
Corporate lawyers ensure the legality of commercial transactions.
They must have a knowledge of statutory law and regulations passed by government agencies to help their clients achieve their goals within the bounds of the law.
To structure a business transaction legally, a corporate lawyer may need to research aspects of contract law, tax law, accounting, securities law, bankruptcy, intellectual property rights, licensing, zoning laws, and other regulations relating to a specific area of business.
The lawyer must ensure that a transaction does not conflict with local, state, or federal laws.
interesting job..right?
In contrast to the adversarial nature of trial law, corporate law is team-oriented.
The corporate counsel for both sides of a transaction are not strict competitors; together they seek a common ground for their clients.
They are, in the words of one lawyer, “the handmaidens of the deal.”
Facilitating the business process requires insight into the clients needs, selective expertise, flexibility and most of all, a service mentality.
Corporate law requires an incisive mind and excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
Through the negotiation process, lawyers constantly write and revise the legal documents which will bind the parties to certain terms for the transaction.
This process is lengthy and typically corporate lawyers work extremely long hours.
As a deal moves towards its closing, it becomes an exercise in stamina as much as skillful negotiation.
As one person observed, “The most important trait a lawyer can have is a leather-ass. You’ve got to be able to put your butt in a chair and do the work.” The upside to this profession is the compensation is good and you usually work with smart people.
One corporate lawyer remarked that she liked this side of the law precisely because the transactions take place among peers: There is no wronged party, no underdog, and usually no inequity in the financial means of the participants.
if u are interested, i may tell you more next time.
that's all for today....

Sport Car

Single-seater (open-wheel) racing is a popular form of motorsport with cars designed specifically for high-speed racing.
The wheels are not covered, and the cars often have aerofoil wings front and rear to produce downforce and enhance adhesion to the track.
The best-known variety of single-seater racing, Formula One, involves an annual World Championship for drivers and constructors of around 18 races a year featuring major international car and engine manufacturers such as Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz (McLaren), BMW (Sauber), Toyota, Honda, and Renault in an ongoing battle of technology and driver skill and talent. Formula One is, by any measure, the most expensive sport in the world, with some teams spending in excess of $400 million per year. Formula One is widely considered to be the pinnacle of motorsports, with the F1 Drivers' Championship being one of, and the oldest among, only three World Championships awarded each year by the FIA (the others being the World Touring Car Championship and the World Rally Championship).
In North America, the cars used in the National Championship (currently Champcars and the Indy Racing League) have traditionally been similar to F1 cars but with more restrictions on technology aimed at helping to control costs. Other single-seater racing series are the A1 Grand Prix (unofficially often referred to as the "world cup of motorsport"), GP2 (formerly known as Formula 3000 and Formula Two), Formula Nippon, Formula Renault 3.5 (also known as the World Series by Renault, succession series of World Series by Nissan), Formula Three, Formula Palmer Audi and Formula Atlantic.
There are other categories of single-seater racing, including kart racing, which employs a small, low-cost machine on small tracks. Many of the current top drivers began their careers in karts. Formula Ford represents a popular first open-wheel category for up-and-coming drivers stepping up from karts.

Makeup For Teenagers

Soft and subtle are the two keywords that teens should keep in mind while doing makeup. The colors that work best for them are the ones that are closest to their natural skin tone or add just a bit of color to their faces such as shades of pink, coral, neutral brown and gray. Here are a few steps that any teenage girl can use to transform into a blooming beauty in a jiffy:
Use a concealer pencil that matches you skin tone to cover any skin imperfections, acnes, skin blemishes, scars or dark circles.
Use a toothbrush to brush brows into place.
Use a soft gray eye pencil to fill in any gaps in the eyebrows.
Use soft gray eyeliner to line the lashes and blend it well to the outside edge.
Apply one coat of brown mascara but if you have naturally black eyelashes, you may also use black mascara too.
If you have a warm skin undertone, use sheer application of peach blush but if you have a cool skin undertone, use soft pink shade. Blend it well using cotton ball.
Use natural shade of lip color or just sheer gloss for a soft nude look and you are ready for the party, girl.

a black day in New York 7/19

An underground steam pipe explosion tore through a New York street near Grand Central Terminal yesterday, swallowing a tow truck and killing one person as hundreds of others ran for cover amid a towering geyser of steam and flying rubble.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the explosion was not terrorism, though the blast caused a brief panic about a possible attack.
Eighteen people were taken to local hospitals, officials said.
One person was pronounced dead from an apparent heart attack. Two were in critical condition and another two were seriously injured.
The others suffered minor injuries.
The explosion caused widespread chaos as residents and commuters heard a huge blast -- and feared for the worst.
Thousands of commuters evacuated the train terminal, some at a run, after workers yelled for people to leave the building.
A titanic geyser of steam and mud shot from the centre of the blast, generating a tremendous roar.
The initial burst of steam rose higher than the nearby 77-storey Chrysler Building, one of Manhattan's tallest buildings.
The air near the site was filled with debris.

esq - esquire

When the title "Esq." is used as a suffix in the United States, it is usually used to designate individuals who are licensed to practice law in at least one United States jurisdiction.
This is not as what it is in UK.
It is used less commonly for individuals who have earned law degrees—such as a Juris Doctor (J.D.) or Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.)—but who do not currently practice law or who have never been licensed to practice law, and for students who are still pursuing their law degrees (as they are considered members of the legal profession).
So, if u are living in UK or Europe, this is mot for you .
It may also be used when addressing naval officers in formal correspondence.
Though commonly misunderstood to be the right solely of lawyers, the title "esquire" after the name may actually be used by anyone in many states.
This is only applied in US.
In some states, using the term in a manner that might lead others to assume you are licensed to practice law in that state can be used as evidence of unauthorized practice of law.
It has been used historically, and still is seen occasionally, as merely a more formal honorific than "mister".

esq - Esquire

not as in US, there's some other meanings.
In the Commonwealth of Great Britain, Esquire is legally a dignity and rank, though nowadays it is used as a polite form of address towards most men.
Tables of precedence invariably ended with the ranks of Esquire and Gentleman, in that order.
Until the 19th century, tables of precedences distinguished between "esquire by birth" and "esquire by office" (the same for "gentleman").

Occasionally, formal definition was implemented in determining who was entitled to the rank of "Esquire", as opposed to the rank of "Gentleman".
The use of Esquire (as Esq.) had become ubiquitous in the United Kingdom by the late 20th century, for example being applied by banks to all men who did not have a grander title.
Although the College of Arms continues to restrict use of the word Esquire in official grants of arms to some of those in the table above, it uses the term Esquire in all its correspondence, even to those who do not fall within any of the definitions in the table.
Many people in the United Kingdom no longer understand that there is any distinction between "Mr" and "Esquire" at all and so, for practical purposes and in everyday usage, there is no such distinction.

the job of an attorney

do you need a attorney? hope not ..
but in case you need one, read this before you pick up your phone..
you may need to know - the job of an attorneyOnce admitted to practice by the highest court of a state, an American attorney may file legal pleadings and argue cases in any court of that state (federal courts, usually require a separate admission), provide legal advice to clients, and draft important legal documents such as wills, trusts, deeds, and contracts.

In some states, real estate closings may be performed only by attorneys, even though the attorney's role in a closing may involve primarily notarization of documents and disbursement of settlement funds through an escrow account.

Practicing law includes interviewing a client to identify the legal question, analyzing the question, researching relevant law, devising legal solutions to problems, and executing such solutions through specific tasks such as drafting a contract or filing a motion with a court.

Most academic legal training is directed to identifying legal issues, researching facts and law, and arguing both the facts and law in favor of either side in any case.
