2007-12-09 21:10:00
Heroes (TV series) Star ting Monday on - STAR WORLD From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaHeroes is an American science fiction serial drama television series created by Tim Kring. It premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. The show tells the story of several people who "thought they were like everyone else... until they realized they have incredible abilities." These people soon realize they have a role in preventing catastrophe and saving humanity. The series emulates the style of American comic books in aesthetic as well as storytelling (i.e. short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc). Kring said "we have talked about where the show goes up to five seasons."[1] The first season attracted an average of 14.3 million viewers in the United States and receiving the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years.[2] The first season's run consisted of 23 episodes; 24 episodes were ordered for the second season.[3] The second season of...

Fairness fever - Sudu... a pathological obsession
2007-12-09 03:15:00
Fairness fever Sudu... a pathological obsession By Namini Wijedasahttp://www.lakbimanews.lk/ Even as we speak, Hollywood stars are digging into their pockets to pay for an artificial tan. Essentially, they want to be brown for Christmas - because they are “sick of pasty, white winter skin”.Legions of other white-skinned people are sunning themselves on beaches in warm countries hoping to look like us when they get home.Back here, though, advertisements for fairness creams are competing for public attention with bomb alerts and emergency numbers. A popular brand promises unmatched radiant fairness in four weeks. Beautiful, dark skinned women dramatically improve their marriage prospects by using the product (and presumably whitening their skins). Others clinch lucrative modelling contracts or TV jobs that they couldn’t secure as darker incarnations of themselves. There is even a fairness meter on offer, to determine just how much whiter your skin has become after pilin...

The Buddha - The True Peacemaker
2007-11-23 21:44:00
The Buddha - The True Peacemaker Ven. Horowpothane Sathindriya Thera- Daily News At the present time, globally people talk about peace as a burning issue in our human society. Though most people very much prefer to live in a peaceful atmosphere and an untroubled environment, some unwise and uncivilised citizens, leaders, politicians and their henchmen create terrible fear and danger within our global society. Even though innumerable peace talks, forums, conferences, meetings and negotiations endlessly take place, there are no signs or gestures to console or comfort ourselves by achieving this so-called peace. It is disgraceful and contemptible that in the name of peace, hypocritical and insincere members of our human family incite and encourage unacceptable anarchy to achieve their own personal hidden agendas. Honesty, sincerity and veracity should be present in one’s mind to achieve true peace. The Supreme Teacher the Bu...

Girl Born With 4 Arms , 4 Legs Has Successful Surgery Lakshmi Tatma Had a 25 Percent Chance of Dying During Surgery(AP Photo)By NICK SCHIFRIN NEW DELHI, India, Nov. 7, 2007 In the desperately poor corner of Bihar, India, she was a miracle. Tiny Lakshmi Tatma was born two years ago with four arms and four legs. The local population considered her the manifestation of a goddess. Her parents named her after the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth. A local circus even tried to buy her, but her parents chose health over fame and asked a team of doctors to remove her extra limbs. The surgery, conducted in Bangalore, ended successfully this afternoon. "The child has withstood the procedure in an excellent manner," Dr. Sharan Patil, the team leader who planned the surgery for more than a month, told reporters outside the Sparsh Hospital. "This girl can now lead as good a life as anyone else." It took more than 30 surgeons 27 hours to not onl...

Tutankhamun's mummy to Be Displayed for 1st Time
2007-11-08 03:26:00
Tutankhamun's mummy to Be Displayed for 1st Time http://emi-argentina.blogspot.com/ The mummy of King Tutankhamun will soon go on display for the first time, exposing the bare face of the boy king, Egyptian officials have announced. The mummy will be removed from its sarcophagus and placed in a climate-controlled glass case in the antechamber of the pharaoh's tomb in Luxor in November (see Egypt map). "I am taking [the mummy] out to show it to the public for the first time," said Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities. The move is part of an effort to preserve the mummy, which has been in poor condition since it was first discovered, Hawass explained. Archaeologist Howard Carter unearthed Tutankhamun's treasure-filled tomb in 1922, the first discovered with its riches so intact. But Carter and his team partly destroyed the mummy in search of more treasures buried with the pharaoh, separating it into 18 sections, Hawass sa...

“Compa red to Deepali and me, Ankita is nothing!”- Puja ChatterjeePuja’s elimination came as a shock to everyone, including Puja and her parents who refused to believe the news. She was so shaken and hurt that we found the sweet and demure Puja transformed into a volcano of anger after the elimination.

I was shell-shocked. My last performance was outstanding. I am really confused about how the public is voting. I hope they are voting for singing and not just because someone shakes a leg.

Hope the public does justice with them.Do you agree with Ankita’s statement that stage performance is as important as singing?I want to talk straight now, I am not scared of anyone.
