101 Uses for a Fooork!

Another amazing creation!

Here is what a friend of mine came up with in the absence of the right tool for the job!

Exaam!

Examen starter klokken 16.30.

12 things to do before exams:

Don’t Panic.
Avoid panic. Exam nerves are natural but panicking will only make things worse and
you may not be able to think clearly.
Stay positive.
Believe in yourself. If you prepare for your exams properly you should do fine. Your
teachers have worked hard to make sure you have studied everything you need to for the
exam. They believe you can do it and so should you. If you believe you can do it, then
you can.
Don’t bottle things up.
If the exams are making you feel worried or depressed, talk to your friends, your
parents/guardians or your teachers. Don’t bottle things up. You’re not the only one to
feel worried about exams – we’ve all been there. Remember, everyone reacts in
different ways to exams.
Keep things in perspective.
Exams might seem like the most important thing you have to focus on right now, but
they are only a small part of your life. There are thousands of successful people who
didn’t do as well as they wanted in their exams. It’s great to do well but remember that
you can only do your best and that is what your teachers and your parents/guardians ask
of you.
Plan.
Make sure you leave plenty of time to revise so that you don’t have to cram at the last
minute. If you plan you will become more confident and will be better prepared for
your exams so you should also be more relaxed. Include some flexibility in your plan in
case something happens and you fall behind your timetable/schedule.
Rest and relaxation.
Make sure you allow yourself time for fun and relaxation away from where you are
studying so that you avoid exhaustion. Include regular breaks into your study plan or
timetable and make sure you get enough exercise and sleep to keep yourself relaxed and
refreshed. If you exercise you will be able to sleep better and you will wake up
refreshed in the morning.
If you feel you are starting to lose concentration, take a short break. Your mind is
probably tired and you will waste time trying to study. The break will mean that you
will come back refreshed. Research shows that taking breaks (eg 10 minutes for every
hour of studying) will help your brain to learn and remember things and also lengthen
your concentration. Don’t overload your brain in a study session.
You are not wasting time by taking some time out to relax from your studies but are
helping yourself to work more effectively.
Ask for help.
If you don’t understand something ask your friends, parents/guardians or your teacher
for help. You may find that you can help a classmate in something they don’t
understand – you may be able to help each other. Don’t stress yourself but take action
to find out answers to problems.
Use revision papers.
You can use revision papers to prepare mock exam answers which will help you focus
your revision. They will also help you get used to the way questions are asked and how
they should be answered. The more you practice, the more confident you will become.
You can also make up your own questions.
There are also a number of study guides available that you might find useful and these
can be purchased at most good bookstores.
Eat and drink well.
Fizzy drinks, tea and coffee contain caffeine and this can mean that you’re not able to
think as clearly. You can keep your mind active by eating healthily and regularly. If
you don’t drink enough you could dehydrate and you may suffer from headaches,
tiredness and poor concentration.
On the morning of an exam, make sure you eat breakfast. Go for something like
wholegrain cereals eg bran, egg, toast which are slow energy burners.
Study away from distractions.
Make sure you have a quiet area to study with no distractions. Turn the television off.
Don’t fall into the trap of watching one programme and then starting your study. You’ll
quickly find that it’s time to go to bed when you’re about to turn off the television. This
will only knock your studying back and cause you stress and anxiety.
Take short rests during your study time for relaxation away from where you are
studying. If your mind gets too tired you will have difficulty remembering what you
have been studying.
If you prefer to study in the evening, don’t go straight to bed afterwards because your
mind will still be thinking over what you have learnt. Take some exercise, go for a
walk or do something else that will help relax you from your study time.
Prepare everything you need for the exam.
The night before the exam, make sure you have your calculator (if needed), your pens
and pencils, your admission card and a watch so you can monitor the time during the
exam. Your teacher or your examinations officer can advise you on what you are
allowed to take into each examination.
Exam day rush.
Instead of trying to learn new topics on the day of the exam, look over your notes/key
points.
Don’t leave yourself short of time on the day of an exam. Work out how you are
getting to the exam and make sure you have plenty of time to get there so that you are
not rushed. If you have time, you may want to find a quiet place to relax rather than
waiting outside the examination centre with the accompanying noise and tension from your classmates.

Rotten Apple

2010-02-03T20:06:00.003+02:00

The new Apple keyboard may look stunning at first sight. Unfortunately it is not a one of a kind product. Undoubtedly it does not look like anything else on the market nowadays, but wandering through Google's picture results one day I found the "Sinclair ZX Spectrum" color computer. Production line of the late 80s and early 90s it sure had a cool look for its time. Even presumably cool for some people nowadays. Its stretched keys and flat buttons on the keyboard look so similar to the Apple's mega hit keyboard.
As a friend of mine used to say: "Every new discovery or idea is a well forgotten old one"

ZX Spectrum

By all means I am not a computer design critic, but one should not completely deny the possibility of plagiarism from Apple, as funny as that may seem to some, and of course it is not excluded that this could be just the gibberish of the blog's author. But I definitely see that they resemble each other.

Obama trying to destroy Constellation.

2010-02-03T12:25:00.006+02:00

After reviewing a September 2009 report following Congressional testimony,the Obama administration reportedly decided to exclude Constellation from the 2011 United States federal budget.On February 1, 2010, the President's proposed budget was released, which included no funding for the project.

Constellation Program is a human spaceflight program within NASA, the space agency of the United States.

Part of the Constellation program involves the development of spacecraft and booster vehicles to replace the Space Shuttle and send astronauts to the Moon and possibly to Mars as well. NASA has already begun the process of designing two boosters, the Ares I and Ares V. Ares I would have the sole function of launching mission crews into orbit, while Ares V would be used to launch other hardware for use on missions and will have a heavier lift capacity than the Ares I booster. In addition to these two boosters, NASA is designing a set of other spacecraft for use during Constellation. These will include the Orion crew capsule, the Earth Departure Stage and the Altair lunar lander.

Fires of Kuwait

2010-01-29T20:32:00.001+02:00

The Fire of the gates of hell.

If there is a hell on Earth this was the place. After Saddam Husein blew the oil wells in Kuwait, the fire storm engulfed the desert for almost a year. The common efforts of over 700 firefighters and many more outside the "pit" were worth saving millions of gallons of raw petrol, which otherwise would have burned for decades.

For just under an hour, the movie tries to capture the great struggle of the teams which apply the greatest human ingenuity into diminishing the blazing inferno of the oil. The small part of their work, captured in this movie, is definitely not enough to please the viewers.

How an AGP Slot drove me crazy!

2010-01-08T00:16:00.015+02:00

I recently found a really good pc thrown out near my block's entrance. I decided to take it and try to give it another chance to live. It turned out to be a good machine and powered up correctly-hard drive and ram no errors cpu seemed stable only crappy windows, which could easily be fixed. Configuration as follows:

Motherboard: CPU Type AMD Athlon XP, 1900 MHz (11.5 x 165) 2600+
Motherboard Name ECS KT600-A (4 PCI, 1 AGP, 1 CNR, 3 DDR DIMM, Audio, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset VIA VT8377 Apollo KT600
System Memory 512 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM) BIOS Type Award (12/24/03)
Display: Video Adapter ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series Secondary (256 MB)
Video Adapter ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series (256 MB) 3D Accelerator ATI Radeon 9550
Monitor Samsung SyncMaster 703(M)s/750(M)s/753(M)s/MagicSyncMaster CM173A(M) [17" CRT]
Multimedia: Audio Adapter Realtek ALC655 @ VIA AC'97 Enhanced Audio Controller
IDE Controller Floppy Drive Floppy disk drive
Disk Drive Maxtor 6Y080L0 (80 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
Optical Drive HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B (16x/48x DVD-ROM)
Optical Drive Memorex 24MAXX 1040 (24x/10x/40x CD-RW)
SMART Hard Disks Status OK

So far so good and it worked fine for a while. Then I thought why would someone throw it out unless there is something wrong with it. And there was. First of all the AC 97 sound cards audio output (the green female plug on the back of the motherboard) produced only mono audio. The sound for the right speaker was missing, but I thought it was from the speakers because I had really crappy set. Later on when I reinstalled windows and installed new speakers that I knew worked for sure the problem was still there and no sound from the right speaker still. I double checked the speakers with an mp3 player and they were not the problem. Then drivers I thought but I actually messed them up a bit and the sound was completely gone. I had a spare sound card that worked OK but was pretty old. So I decided to give it a shot and installed it. Worked fine for a couple of days, during which the other problem began to lurk in the system. All of a sudden my monitor will go to sleep mode and I could not wake it up any other way but by restarting the system with the reset button on the case.
Anyway Installed the old Creative sound card and it worked fine until I decided to operate on the insides of the PC while power was on (done it twice before, regret it twice as well) and then BAM short circuit and it went off. Since I am pretty experienced with that kind of stuff I knew that the first thing to burn after a short circuit in computer's case is the power supply, then the sound card then the Ram and so on. So I tried to power up and the power supply turned on so I knew the card was gone and so it was: no more sound coming out. For the sake of stupidity I tried to change drivers and stuff like that nothing worked. Not the whole card was gone though,only the audio output. If the card was totally gone the Pc wouldn't have fired up at all, or beeping would appear if you are lucky. During that time I was almost desperate I ended up with 2 bad sound cards and the sleep problem now was getting worse and worse crashing the system every half an hour or so.
I decided to go back to the motherboard's sound card and stick with it until I have found a solution if there was one at all. Unfortunately sleeping problem now was pissing me off big time. Turning off and on the monitor randomly and crashing after several repetitions. I had an AGP 2x Voodoo 3 video card, but was impossible to insert it in my 1.5V AGP slot since AGP 2x uses 3.3V and anyway it would not fit even if I tried. Here is a picture of different AGP slots:

I assumed that the video card "Radeon 9550" is on its way to give up, so I went to a local shop and got a second hand video card for 50kr. The card was again Ati Radeon but I am not sure which model exactly. It was a predecessor of the one that I had with 128mb Ram with TV Out and DVi.

I brought it home took the old one away and inserted the "new" one that I got from the shop. It was doing fine powered up ok until it entered Windows. Then all of a sudden it started to flick the screen and wouldn't stop for even a minute. That pissed me off. Tried thousand things like messing with Bios and reinserting tightening the screws and etc. Nothing helped.

In such situations some could have had a nervous breakdown and I admit I was close to it. Then I decided I am not going to deal with this for some time, so I put back the old video card and switched off the pc.

I came back to it after 2 days and decided to start with the sound problem first, hoping I will be more lucky with it. As I mentioned earlier I went back to deal with the On-Board integrated sound card "Realtek" and by that time I did not have a choice since I successfully managed to burn the spare one.

I installed the correct drivers which I barely found because Realtek did not have them on their website for some reason. Dug up some info from the forums and found a solution which finally worked.

The On-Board sound i.e. "Realtek ALC655 @ VIA AC'97 Enhanced Audio Controller" can support 2 speakers (headphones), 4 speakers system and emulate 5.1 . The last one is not of a big interest since the one I needed was the support for 4 speakers. This was available of course with the help of the managing software - provided kindly by Realtek. When I selected that I have a four channel audio the software showed the "line in" jack becoming active. I snapped at that moment and plugged my speakers into the line in "blue" female jack on the back of the motherboard and it worked. The system thought I had 4 speakers and I had only 2.

Back to the same old video card. Having spend some time in serious thoughts about the problem with the old video card, I ended up with the conclusion that there is a high possibility that the AGP slot itself is making a short cut somewhere inside the socket. It was obvious that it is a short cut in the socket. It was a fact that even touching the monitor cable could cause a problem so that the card could go to sleep. Even the slightest movement affected it. What followed was tweaking the BIOS in such a way in which I was able to switch off the 8x acceleration of the socket.After the shutdown the card became stable on the very same restart. Now it is less powerful but fortunately it works great!

The video card itself:

I am really troubled by the way computers are being recycled nowadays. It is true that recycling is better than leaving it in your back garden, but how much is being recycled after all? It is still puzzling that most of the shell and insides of electronic gadgets and pcs end up on a special junkyard with the intention to decay than to be recycled.Most of these devices are composed of substances like mercury, lead and cadmium that can be so poisonous to the environment. It ends up in e-waste junkyards in countries like Ghana and China. They pile up and polute the earth, rotting slowly and disolving into the soil:

The tranquility of nothingness

2009-12-09T00:21:00.002+02:00

What is a redemption without salvation. What is a soverignity without independance. What is nothingness without somethingness.
Nothingness cannot exist if there isn't ^ some thing ^ to mark that this thingness denotes no-thing-ness. Tranquility is in our heads and nothingness - there is no such notion.

Christiania

2009-10-05T12:21:00.005+03:00

Christiania is in the heart of Copenhagen. A community of "highly" motivated individuals.

Nothing unusual as everybody are so used to its presence that they nowadays recognize it as a symbol in the heart of the city. Symbol for ones a scar for others, but undoubtedly its 18th century style and rural shacks swirls you into an unique atmosphere. So travel back in time and visit Christiania next time you drop by Copenhagen!

When you see a picture of something like this you usually would say amazed "How do they do it?" But no! We are not Discovery channel and we are not going to speculate upon the process of production and the long hours of hard labour someone had spent glueing the sharp things. More appropriate and eligible is to ask "Why do they do it?". I am not sitting on that pencil thing.

Some people think that the humanity develops at a breakneck speed. We should not be so sure about it. On the link below there is an imaginary travel in space with the speed of light (over 300 000km/s). While I’ve been watching it I realised how small and insignificant we are.

How much time we will need to travel quick,safe and comfortable through space? And most importantly will it be enough?

Weird Al Yankovich is a famous actor from the early 90s of the past century. If you haven’t heard of him, you most probably haven’t watched his comedy movie called “UHF”. Gaining popularity by making remixes of Michael Jackson’s, Maddona’s and Nirvana’s top songs he left his mark in the hearts of thousands of fens around the world. Despite that the comedy is from the far 1989, it will bring you back to the best titles in the old days, looked through a slightly different perspective.

The Hapening

2008-08-20T21:13:00.003+03:00

If you like cracky movies - this one is definitely for you! Quite uninteresting plot, which does not make you thrill with horrifying scenes but rather leaves you wandering how in a single day millions of American citizens have the insatiable need to commit a suicide. Don't expect bloody mess. The movie is too mystic and unstable at moments. The climax of the movie is an old lady around her seventies, trying to strike terror into the main hero and heroine, which are young, healthy, strong and agile American citizens. Logically Imdb rating is 5.5 out of 10.

The IT Crowd

2008-08-20T21:11:00.002+03:00

This TV series is full of English humour and may be the majority of viewers from other countries would not approve it. The story is as follows: Two IT specialists (Moss and Roy), whose office is situated in the basement of the company they are working for, are being ignored and alienated by their colleagues. It is a total chaos on their working place. They live happily in their world, but their ease is disrupted when Jess (naive young lady, who wants quick career upswing) is hired for their manager.

For now there are filmed two seasons - six episodes each, but this year a 3rd one is expected. It will start on Channel 4 in the UK.

Zooey Deschanel

Do you remember Quake 3 Arena?

2008-08-20T21:07:00.001+03:00

It was a bloody mess in the beggining of the new century! When everybody was so worried about the zeroes problem and the new millenium, we in the neighbourhood were blowing each other with rocket launchers and reel guns, and my mother was constantly jabbering that I can get to nowhere by playing with these “mannikins” . What mannikins you woman! Definitely Uriel,Angle,Orb or at least Klesk looked like “mannikins”. And what can I say about Xaero. On hardcore he had extraterrastial skills. The graphics were unique for that time, and even today it is still a feast for the eyes. In it’s 1999 new year’s edition-a magazine called PC Mania bespattered upon that great game in several pages. The author of the article seemed to be a big fan of Unreal, but what will happen if you start spitting upon the competition. What happened was that Quake was in the top list of mplayer games much, much longer than Unreal.

Today I still play this wonderful game, despite that the enthusiasm is slightly gone. However if there are 6 or 7 players ready for a quick Arena, I will not refuse to join in.

Unbelievable but fact! Americans have somehing to teach us about nice fragrances.

Ladies keep you mother in law away from this cologne. May be one day she will make you meatballs with cologne. I would understand her, having in mind that it looks like a copy of an old cruet.

Honda Fit - a unique car with an unique price

Honda Fit - a unique car with an unique price

I was thinking to myself the other day: ”Well what kind of car I would like to drive?”

I want it to be comfortable and to look good as well and cheap too.

After long browsing in forums and web sites I stumbled upon this.

This is Honda Fit. A beautifully looking automobile with nice design and very very attractive price.

Prices start under 14 000 USD. It is multifunctional and has a terrific sports look.

More info at Honda.com

Tato Nano - The cheapest car in the world

2008-08-20T20:52:00.003+03:00

Look what miracle was born in far India. Notice the price - only 2500$ USD, which makes it the cheapest car in the world! It is certain that it looks shiny and modern but I doubt it can show something more than that. If you are overweight this is not your car. One would be lucky if he can fit his wife and mother-in-law inside together. The tires definitely don’t catch the eye. They look as if they had been taken from a trycilcle and “pimped” with shiny Indian rims, in which brilliance and magnificance is invested the hard two day labour of at least four low-paid Indians with big woven rags in their hands.

And yet besides all that, if sales start soon in Europe, this will be an ideal present for your naive girlfriend, with total lack of understanding for automobiles, and you will be able to show yourself as a prosperous young man in front of her mommy, and all this for some 3100 leva.

Driving on pure air

2008-08-20T20:48:00.003+03:00

This is the prototype of the first car powered only by compressed air! After quite a lot of digging in web sites last year, I found this terrific vehicle. Still then the developers of the car were not sure about the future of their creation, because for it to show up on the market a big automobile company had to be interested. Few days ago I suddenly learned that “Tata” - the Indian automobile giant (which also recently built the cheapest car in the world) had bought the license for serial production. There are rumours that the production will begin in the end of the summer. For now the company plans prices to start from 3500 Euro, which is ridiculous for a product being an innovation in the automobile industry.

If everything goes according to plan, this could be a serious impact for the hybrid models of companies like Toyota and Honda, in which the fuel consumption is minimal but not zero. With this jewel you can go to the
petrol station, pump your tires, fuel up the car with the same air you pumped up your tires and to wave at your fellow-citizens while they are choking on diesel vapor and the sum of the oil counter outruns their daily income.

infrastructure and wonderful parks. Wander through the little town as you escape from the crowded streets of the cities of Burgas,Varna and the hotels polutated extremely expensive Sunny Beach resort. As you stroll down the town's center and past the Bedrock restaurant you reach the beach alley with its little shops and pubs,until you reach the beautiful garden with the fountains and comfi benches, and continue further down through the palm alley and the amphi theatre, reaching the beach with its shiny sands and warm waters.

2008-07-23T23:37:00.002+03:00

Toilet designed for risk takers. Not humans but fish itself. And of course with the generous help of us, humans these fishes can get close to death as much as possible. Those risk takers would be privileged to jeapordise themselves daily and chat with their friends at the same time, and all this with their life insurances included. So...Smell the poo and pee, see all the dazzling fartly dropped shits as they swoosh past to the delight of their seaters and join us for a lifetime experience.

Work of Art?

2008-07-09T20:32:00.004+03:00

If you are not a first timer here in my blog you have probably noticed my sidebar "Work of Art?" section, where I publish strange paintings and graphics which will either amaze me or disgust me. I never tell my opinion about it, but leave the answer up to you. The questionmark at the end gives you the freedom to choose. Anyway here I am asking the same question but this time it is big baby ! :)
This is me as an art artist. So what do you say? Work of art?

Summer in the city

2008-07-09T20:08:00.007+03:00

It is really hot these days and the summer had finally shown its presence.
At times like these "hot and gritty", one songs settles in my mind ... by Joe Cocker

The Good Old Times

2008-06-23T20:25:00.004+03:00

This was one of the games I thought had the coolest graphics when I was 4 years old. Still then we were playing on those big Atari Consoles but I thought there is nothing better than it in the world. Since then I started to be so sensitive about computers and new technologies... etc. I love it when I find a picture of an old game in the internet. Brings back memories, and life seemed careless forever.

Undertaker Banned from WWE

2008-06-21T20:16:00.004+03:00

The Phenom was recently banned from the World Wrestling Entertainment by Smack Down's general manager Vickie Guerrero. After losing his match against Edge on "One Night Stand" the Phenom left WWE "forever" as manager Vickie said. "La Familia" made sure that the Taker was gone for good this time.

Outside the show Undertaker is said to have taken some time off to heal some old injuries. To calm down many fans of the Phenom I am assuring you that he will be back in a few months time. I saw hundreds of disappointing comments on You Tube and WWE fans' sites but that should be of no worry, because he is just taking some rest and soon will be back to make Edge's life miserable.

Best,
Stam

News from Mars

2008-06-07T23:43:00.005+03:00

Mars Lander "Phoenix" News-Saturday, June 7, 2008

After nearly two weeks of testing and preparation, NASA's Phoenix lander on Friday began its first day of science operations at Mars' north pole. The Lander's robotic arm delivered a cup of soil to an oven that will search for evidence that the Red Planet was once habitable.

The scoop, taken from a spot next to the lander dubbed Baby Bear, then paused over one of the eight tiny ovens attached to the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, known as TEGA, to make sure the material doesn't spill over and contaminate other instruments.

More about black holes

2008-05-09T23:30:00.003+03:00

Enough jokes I am serious here. I would be glad if you learn something interesting from my knowledge of black holes.

This is a list most people going on a vacation in 3008 would like not to forget at home:

1.Black holes have the strongest gravitational field known to human in the explored universe.

2.Black holes are so black that even light can't escape (don't get closer)

3.Black holes are born after a supernova explosion which is being produced by a star thousand times bigger than the sun. { Imagine this is the Sun "." and now the potential black hole star "O"}

4.Black holes are matter collapsed by its own gravity

5.Black holes destroy planets and stars (basicly anything which stands on its way)

6.Except destructive force a black hole is a force of creation.

7.Black holes can form new stars

8.Black holes are not eternal. They feed on matter and at the same time shrink their size until they burst into a super explosion. The matter is spit out and new stars and planets could be born.

9.Number 8 answers the question that matter does not disappear forever once sucked into a black hole.

10.There is a black hole in every single galaxy of the universe

Black Hole

2008-05-09T23:01:00.004+03:00

Here is a short FAQ (answered) based on my knowledge on the black holes:

What is this on the picture?

It is a black hole !

Why it is called black hole?

Because its gravity is so great even light can't escape, therefore can't pass accross it to enlight it. This is why black holes stay in the cover of the dark space.

What is on the other end of the hole?

Only God knows !

Is a Black hole harmful?

Definitely !

Can I see one ?

Can I see pictures?

Yes

Ok since I discussed the complexity of the consistency of the ring I
decided to talk about something way too
different than disturbance and annoyance. And this is women panties!
I personally am no expert in this
category, but look what I have found in the net.
Global warming and women panties!Now that is sick. Lets take a look:
Number 1: 18th century- very sexy and flea stopping material
amazingly suitable for conditions
where you dump your poo through the window.
Still used rarely in cases of nostalgia and ageing.
Number 2: Hmmm this looks to me as an equivalent of the male boxers.
However why would they use them?
I remember a commercial of male boxers with the strong message
"cocks need a room to move"
but I keep wondering why do women need them for? May be
"pussycats need a place to play" - sick!
Number 3 and 4: Hmmmm I've seen pictures of my
mom wearing those on a beach.
I keep asking myself how did my dad got engaged with her. He he hey, I am just kidding my mom was a hottie
but that outfit is too retro for me.
Number 5: Owh come on who doesn't love the 80's?!
Number 6: Lets get trendy and classy.
Climate is getting warmer and the world beaches get hotter. Nice
curves and exposure and most important easy to spank! LOL
Number 7: Now that's the stuff guys! Can u imagine 20 years later?
What's left is gonna be onlythe sanitary pad.
Considering that the climate is proportional to the girl's underwear
, according to the picture, I keep asking myself is it worth it to try
to stop the global warming.

Being on the Phone

2007-11-08T12:14:00.001+02:00

It is inevitable, they say but I think it is "evitable" :)

Its been here since more than 100 years and it puts its influence over human being as time passes over periods and ages of peace ajnd disturbance. But disturbance is something that linguists today can classify as the consistency of the ring. That buzzy,bloody creature is implying new ways of unwanted and unwilling communication between us. But a creature some would say is a strong and even improbable word for the "being" that buzzs and fusses our world and sometimes turns it upside down. What is the point here. It is the point of romance,surprise,hard times,happines and dozens of feelings we perpetuate using the "creature".
"To be on the other side"
Why did not any of these famous book authors like Arthur C Clarkie or even better Steven King himself wrote a novel about it. About the consistant buzz and that monotonic unfriendly voice that calls us almost every day and waits for our positive answers. Today's telephone business calls I classify as something unique that develops and enlarges in the late 90s and up till today. Phone spamming is the notion which fits in the situation like a last card of chineese checkers.
We get calls from everywhere and everyone makes us offers which tend to increase our life status and make us happier. But hell-it makes only the "creature" happier, or does it? Where do we stand in this buzzling world. The answer is simple: we are either on the one side or on the other.
Phones nowadays don't give us the freedom we wanted to have when we created them but more and more constantly take it not caring where we are and what we do. Brutality is the exact word to describe those beeps and rings all around the silence of freedom. Silence is lost and the charming classic ring of the phone as well. They come from everywhere those sounds which penetrate the ear and disturb the brain. It is not a question of modernity versus classicism but a warning of the chaos which is whirling around. The once peaceful and silent answering machine is now the neverending vibrating and pulsing thing in your pocket. But no they are not gone because your old phone is probably still there on the dusty stand waiting to be picked up. And when there is somebody who u might think is charming enough to use the old good wired machine turns out to be the next salesman and this is where the disturbance materializes and even turns into terror. Poor old classic machine wired and hooked on the wall trying to escape that wire, but can't because it is now a second hand and a tool for catching your wallet.
We hooked him and hanged him, stuck him at home and he fell into the hands of the greedy ones and became a tool in their hands. Nowadays they access him from anywhere and in different ways which may seem even insulting to the father of the wired friend.

But is there a cure?!

The longest movie title in the world

2007-07-01T00:07:00.001+03:00

It is easy to think of what might be the shortest movie title in the world. Probably there are dozens even hundreds of short titled movies. But what is the longest one ever (till 2007)? Here it is :

Another Demonstration of the Cliff-Guibert Fire Horse Reel, Showing a Young Girl Coming from an Office, Detaching Hose, Running with It 60 Feet, and Playing a Stream, All Inside of 30 Seconds.

The 8th wonder of the world

2007-06-29T14:36:00.001+03:00

Ever wondered what is the 8th wonder of the world. Yes it is a potato. Location: Bulgaria - The Street Market in (Trakia) Plovdiv !
Walking through the Trakia neighborhood in Plovdiv, I passed by a big street market located among the dirty blocks near a big supermarket called "Sani". Nothing spectacular so far, but glimpsing through the market tables I saw that stunning sign "The 8th wonder of the world". The sign was handwritten on Bulgarian language with a marker and the text was underlined as if the lines were a witness guaranteeing that undeniable fact. I approached the table with a great interest. Above the sign was a wooden crate full of regular potatoes. I kindly asked the saleswoman: "Are those really the 8th wonder of the world?" "Yes they are."-she replied "Why's that?" I asked impatiently. "Come close!" said the woman. I stepped forward and then she whispered in my ear: "Viagra is nothing compared to my little babies!". Wow wow wow! Wait a minute,I thought to myself, if there is a natural risk free and delicious method of bringing my sexual arousal to the limit, that definitely is the 8th wonder in the world. I will try it for sure. I grabbed 10kg and headed back home.
A Note: Now don't get me wrong. I DO NOT have sexual problems, but if this stuff turns me into a sex machine or sex idol or how you name it, my girlfriend will be the happiest girl alive :-)

In several posts I will analyze what happens and will decide are they really the 8th wonder of the world or the Palm Islands in Dubai is the better choice.
The potato season starts now!

A Living Zombie !

2007-06-27T19:14:00.001+03:00

In the Serbian village Zveronovo a young man buried alive by his uncle survived for 6 days in the grave. When he came back from the dead he was handcuffed and imprisoned in the local jail. "People are bothered by the fact that Mladovan is a living zombie" says the major Vladko Chervenkovski. "This is not my son" says the mother Djivliana Srebroovka (46). The uncle was sent to the sanatorium in Dobrovnik diagnosed with serious mental problems. The boy cannot speak and lives on some basic instincts: to feed; to drink and to reproduce.
A team of Stamen Tonchev's blog site went in Zveronovo's jail to try to speak with the boy. All they could leave with was this startling photo and loads of groans and moans.

Finding NEMO ?!

2007-06-27T18:47:00.002+03:00

Finally they have found Nemo. Dead unfortunately.
The Indochinese restaurant in the Bluewater trade center near London denies that the fish had been cooked and served by their personel. "It is a dirty trick" says the chef Sagitsu Kuroniama. Trick or not the Chineese restaurant will be sued for murder. Trial begins on 14th of July. Disgusted customers say "We will never go back there again!". Bluewater managers tend to close the sushi bar and loan the place to McDonalds. Angry anti-McDonalds protesters gathered in front of the biggest mall in Europe, demanding the McDonald's restaurants to be banned in malls trade and outlet centers.
