AHAhahahahha, I have finally completed my critique it really feels good to finish something. This whole thing about moving forward and completing task seems very daunting to me. It actually scares me that im actually growing up. Before when i was in elementary or primary, u look forward to the things ull get to do wen u grow up. U get to drive and get a cool job or other things. I alredi can drive and its not really as cracked up i tot it wud be. Wen we are in uni, we look back at coll, wen we are in coll, we look back to secondary school, wen we are in secondary we look back to primary, wen we are in primary we look up to wen we become adults...
Well speaking of looking back, looking back at all these things remember wen arnold and slyvester use to rule the movie waves i just found it funny that no matter how many years have passed a very lil things change. Every action hero is indestructable no matter if it was in the past or present. I was watching rambo tht day omg it was actually super cool. Guy in helicopter with sniper rifel cant shoot rambo, every shot misses him, meanwhile rambo throws rock..rock hit helicopter...helicopter go boom! hahahaha awsomeness
ANother topic besides rambo me and dara made a list we got to do during the holidays i dare say we have alredi crossed out two on the list...First was going ice skating together and the other was going to the reptile house totally awesome
I tell u one thing eventhough the skates stink spending time with dara is totally sweet..

Dara and i
Dara and the birdie
A note to thomas ahhaha i actually wanted to do the marvel villian post dude really sorry ill do it ASAP but my marvel.com is on the FRITS AND its JUST fucked up sorry, ill do it the minute i can sorry
HAdes ruler of the underworld and possibly the coolest greek god there is. Unlike his bros he is loyal only to one woman is abducted wife persephone. His bros wud fuck anything lol. I hate all these misconceptions tht ppl think tht hades is evil. EVenthough he is cruel he stands for justice. With all the new stories created spreading storys on how terrible hades is and how he wants to overtake the universe but he is very happy in the underworld. Here is a lil bio on my favourite greek GOD HAdes!
In Greek mythology, Hades (the "unseen"), the god of the underworld, was a son of the Titans, Cronus and Rhea. He had three younger sisters, Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, as well as two brothers , Poseidon his older brother and Zeus his younger brother: the six of them were Olympian gods.
Upon reaching adulthood Zeus managed to force his father to disgorge his siblings. After their release the six younger gods, along with allies they managed to gather, challenged the elder gods for power in the Titanomachy, a divine war. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades received weapons from the three Cyclopes to help in the war. Zeus the thunderbolt; Hades the Helm of Darkness; and Poseidon the trident. During the night before the first battle Hades put on his helmet and, being invisible, slipped over to the Titans' camp and destroyed their weapons. The war lasted for ten years and ended with the victory of the younger gods. Following their victory, according to a single famous passage in the Iliad (xv.187–93), Hades and his two brothers, Poseidon and Zeus, drew lots[7] for realms to rule. Zeus got the sky, Poseidon got the seas, and Hades received the underworld,[8] the unseen realm to which the dead go upon leaving the world as well as any and all things beneath the earth.
Hades obtained his eventual consort and queen, Persephone, through trickery, a story that connected the ancient Eleusinian Mysteries with the Olympian pantheon. Helios told the grieving Demeter that Hades was not unworthy as a consort for Persephone:
"Aidoneus, the Ruler of Many, is no unfitting husband among the deathless gods for your child, being your own brother and born of the same stock: also, for honor, he has that third share which he received when division was made at the first, and is appointed lord of those among whom he dwells."
Despite modern connotations of death as "evil," Hades was actually more altruistically inclined in mythology. Hades was often portrayed as passive rather than evil; his role was often maintaining relative balance.
Hades ruled the dead, assisted by others over whom he had complete authority. He strictly forbade his subjects to leave his domain and would become quite enraged when anyone tried to leave, or if someone tried to steal the souls from his realm. His wrath was equally terrible for anyone who tried to cheat death or otherwise crossed him, as Sisyphus and Pirithous found out to their sorrow.
Besides Heracles, the only other living people who ventured to the Underworld were all heroes: Odysseus, Aeneas (accompanied by the Sibyl), Orpheus, Theseus, Pirithoüs(see note 18), and Psyche. None of them was especially pleased with what they witnessed in the realm of the dead. In particular, the Greek war hero Achilles, whom Odysseus met in Hades (although some believe that Achilles dwells in the Isles of the Blest), said:
"Do not speak soothingly to me of death, glorious Odysseus. I should choose to serve as the hireling of another, rather than to be lord over the dead that have perished."
—Achilles' soul to Odysseus. Homer, Odyssey 11.488
Hades, god of the dead, was a fearsome figure to those still living; in no hurry to meet him, they were reticent to swear oaths in his name, and averted their faces when sacrificing to him. To many, simply to say the word "Hades" was frightening. So, euphemisms were pressed into use. Since precious minerals come from under the earth (i.e., the "underworld" ruled by Hades), he was considered to have control of these as well, and was referred to as Πλούτων (Plouton, related to the word for "wealth"), hence the Roman name Pluto. Sophocles explained referring to Hades as "the rich one" with these words: "the gloomy Hades enriches himself with our sighs and our tears." In addition, he was called Clymenus ("notorious"), Eubuleus ("well-guessing"), and Polydegmon ("who receives many"), all of them euphemisms for a name it was unsafe to pronounce, which evolved into epithets.
Although he was an Olympian, he spent most of the time in his dark realm. Formidable in battle, he proved his ferocity in the famous Titanomachy, the battle of the Olympians versus the Titans, which established the rule of Zeus.
Because of his dark and morbid personality, he was not especially liked by either the gods nor the mortals. Feared and loathed, Hades embodied the inexorable finality of death: "Why do we loathe Hades more than any god, if not because he is so adamantine and unyielding?" The rhetorical question is Agamemnon's (Iliad ix). He was not, however, an evil god, for although he was stern, cruel, and unpitying, he was still just. Hades ruled the Underworld and therefore most often associated with death and was feared by men, but he was not Death itself — the actual embodiment of Death was Thanatos.
When the Greeks propitiated Hades, they banged their hands on the ground to be sure he would hear them[citation needed]. Black animals, such as sheep, were sacrificed to him, and the very vehemence of the rejection of human sacrifice expressed in myth[9] suggests an unspoken memory of some distant past. The blood from all chthonic sacrifices including those to propitiate Hades dripped into a pit or cleft in the ground. The person who offered the sacrifice had to avert his face.[10] Every hundred years festivals were held in his honor, called the Secular Games.
Hades' weapon was a two-pronged fork, which he used to shatter anything that was in his way or not to his liking, much as Poseidon did with his trident. This ensign of his power was a staff with which he drove the shades of the dead into the lower world.
His identifying possessions included a famed helmet of darkness, given to him by the Cyclopes, which made anyone who wore it invisible. Hades was known to sometimes loan his helmet of invisibility to both gods and men (such as Perseus). His dark chariot, drawn by four coal-black horses, always made for a fearsome and impressive sight. His other ordinary attributes were the Narcissus and Cypress plants, the Key of Hades and Cerberus, the three-headed dog. He sat on an ebony throne.
In the Greek version of an obscure Judaeo-Christian work known as 3 Baruch (never considered canonical by any known group), Hades is said to be a dark, serpent-like monster or dragon who drinks a cubit of water from the sea every day, and is 200 plethra (20,200 English feet, or nearly four miles) in length.
A Malaysian blogger was charged Tuesday with sedition over an article he wrote linking a top government leader and his wife to the gruesome killing of a Mongolian woman.
Raja Petra Kamaruddin, founder and editor of the popular Malaysia Today site, had posted an article which allegedly implicated Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak and his wife, Rosmah Mansor, in the October 2006 murder.
The 57-year-old Raja Petra pleaded not guilty after the charge was read out to him over the article, which prosecutors say contained "sentences deemed seditious."
"We bloggers have declared war on the government. Our final objective is to change the government," Raja Petra declared before he was charged.
Supporters, including opposition lawmakers and other bloggers, thronged the court in a show of support.
Represented by seven lawyers, a defiant Raja Petra declined to post the 5,000 ringgit bail (1,600 dollars) set by judge Nurmala Salim, preferring to be jailed until his October 6 trial date.
"I am not going to post bail. I don't have the money," Raja Petra told reporters in the courtroom.
"I'll be out for Christmas. Don't worry," he added, after hugging his tearful wife and close friends.
If convicted, he faces a three-year jail term or a fine of up to 5,000 ringgit.
The high-profile killing of the 28-year-old Mongolian woman, Altantuya Shaariibuu -- whose body was blown up with explosives -- has been splashed across newspapers covering the murder trial, which began last June.
Najib, who is expected to take over from Prime Minister Abdullah Ahamad Badawi as the country's next premier, has denied any involvement in her death.
Two police officers from the Special Action Force (UTK), whose duties included guarding Malaysia's prime minister and Najib, were charged with the killing.
Prosecutors claim analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, who has links with Najib and top government leaders, ordered the guards to kill Altantuya -- his former lover -- after she kept harassing him for money.
Abdul Razak has been charged with abetting the killing.
Opposition lawmakers denounced the charge against Raja Petra.
The trend of "harassing" bloggers was worrying and was a sign the government was clamping down on free speech, said parliamentarian Lim Kit Siang.
"Whether it's a syndrome of the 'empire strikes back' after the elections, it remains to be seen," said Lim, one of the country's first politicians to use blogs and websites to reach voters.
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has admitted that his biggest mistake in the recent March 8 election drubbing suffered by his ruling coalition was to ignore cyber-campaigning. He has vowed to remedy the situation.
However, Abdullah's critics say the government would prefer to muzzle differing views.
"This does not reflect the government's commitment to uphold freedom of expression and accept views from bloggers. They are instead clamping down on media freedom," said Nurul Izzah Anwar, an opposition parliamentarian.
Home Affairs minister Syed Hamid Albar said authorities gathered sufficient evidence before charging Raja Petra. "Let the court decide," he said.
Malaysia's Sedition Act, a carryover from British colonial times, broadly criminalises activities with "seditious tendencies," including those that express anti-government sentiments.
Businessman Syed Akbar Ali was also charged Tuesday under the Sedition Act for posting a comment on Raja Petra's blog.

Just wanna say i just watch Juno and i LOVE this movie im tokking about im crazy about this movie and Ellen Page is so great and so pretty in this movie here are a few stats for the peeps hu havent watch...ITS A MUST WATCH MOVIE!
Sixteen year-old Juno MacGuff is the type of girl that beats to her own drummer, and doesn't really care what others may think of her. She learns that she's pregnant from a one-time sexual encounter with her best friend, Paulie Bleeker. Juno and Paulie like each other, but don't consider themselves to be exclusive boyfriend/girlfriend let alone be ready to be a family complete with child. Although she would rather not be pregnant, Juno is fairly pragmatic about her situation. Although there, Paulie really leaves all the decisions about the baby to Juno. Initially she decides that she will have an abortion, but that's something that she ultimately cannot go through with. So she decides to have the baby and give it up for adoption. But first she has to tell her father, Mac, and stepmother, Bren, that she is pregnant. Although they would have preferred if Juno was on hard drugs or expelled from school, Mac and Bren too are pragmatic about Juno's situation. The next step is to find prospective parents for the yet unborn child. In the Pennysaver ad section, Juno finds Mark and Vanessa Loring, a yuppie couple living in the suburbs. Juno likes the Lorings, and in some respects has found who looks to be a kindred spirit in Mark, with whom she shares a love of grunge music and horror films. Vanessa is a little more uptight and is the one in the relationship seemingly most eager to have a baby. On her own choosing, Juno enters into a closed rather than open adoption contract with the Lorings - meaning she will have no contact with the baby after she gives it up. During the second and third trimesters of Juno's pregnancy which she treats with care but detachment, Juno's relationships with her family, with Paulie, and with the Lorings develop, the latter whose on the surface perfect life masks some hidden problems.
I love this movie and Ellen Page is wow..

KL Freeze in sunway where everybody doesnt move for global warming its more of a demonstration and while on the talk of global warming we shud do our part to save the earth! here are some helpful tips u can do
Share.
Didn’t your mother always tell you to share? If you only use your tent, ladder, or video player once in a while, consider lending it to others. Some communities have a shared tool shed. Workplaces have book exchanges. Or, you and a friend can team up to buy rarely used items. Sharing decreases the energy and pollution from mining, manufacturing, packaging, and transporting new goods.
Get a new A/C filter.
Cleaning or replacing your air conditioner filters increases efficiency and makes it run in peak condition. Filters can be found along the length of the return duct in walls, ceilings, furnaces, or in the air conditioning unit itself. In window units, filters may lie inside of the air conditioner or they may slide out. See this list of helpful tips on buying an efficient air conditioner.
Go on a tree spree.
Planting trees removes carbon from the atmosphere, filters air, and prevents soil erosion. It’s best to plant trees native to your area that don’t require heavy irrigation.
Lose the heavy stuff.
Each 100 lbs. in your car increases gas consumption by 1-2%. Another great reason to leave all bricks and rocks at home!
Practice gas station etiquette.
Handle the pump with care and avoid topping off. Spilled fuel evaporates and causes air pollution. Also, try to buy gas during cooler times in the day or during evening hours when there is less evaporation.
