| Best films of 2008
February 17, 2009 02:33:14Better late than never, say I. So, a little late, but here nevertheless are the Top 10 Films of 2008. The year began strong with films like Mithya and Jodhaa Akbar. There were very few blockbusters that did well. This was the year of the “cheapie” - a film with B grade stars, made probably on a small budget. “Hello” was one of these, and so was “Welcome to Sajjanpur”. As always stupidity ruled, and made films like “Singh is Kinng” big hits.
Anyway, enough said; here are my picks :
10. Ramchand Pakistani : This is a not-so upbeat film about a father-son pair caught in a border jail after inadvertently crossing the India-Pakistan border. A wonderful cast and good direction make this a very special film.
9. Rab ne bana di jodi : Ahh, Shahrukh as one of us ! SRK plays an ordinary young man, married to the woman of his dreams. The catch ? She doesn’t love him, and says she never will.
8. Superstar : Kunal Khemu, re-incarnated. In a double role no less. The story of two men who look alike but born to different circumstances, Superstar is a breezy watch.
7. Ghajini : Amir’s lone film of the year, Ghajini is a remake of the South-Indian film of the same name, and even stars the same heroine, Hindi film debutante, Asin. Fairly violent, Ghajini was a superhit in late 2008. It brings back memories of 80s-based, Shiva-esque dramas, and is a decent watch.
6. A Wednesday : A taut, gripping drama, Wedneday doesn’t have many big actors, save Naseeruddin Shah, but manages to leave an impact.
5. Sorry Bhai : Another film by director Onir, this one is quite enchanting. A tale of two brother and the one woman they both love, this film has got it all - emotion, humor and drama.
4. Jaane tu ya jaane na : The romance of the year stars newcomer Imran Khan and Geneliw D’Souza and is a peppy, fun, young film.
3. Jodhaa Akbar : This humongous history lesson stars hunky Hrithik and luminous Aishwarya as the historical couple Akbar and his Rajputian wife Jodhaa. The handsome couple also do well acting wise, and director Ashutosh Gowarikar delivers another enjoyable film.
2. Welcome to Sajjanpur : The feel good film of the year, this movie is set in rural India. Shreyas Talpade heads an impeccable cast, and master director Shyam Benegal brings to you another well-told, engrossing tale.
1. Mithya : A well-made drama about an ordinary young man thrust into the underworld as kingpin, this one is a must-see.
Honorable mentions go out to the following films :
- Oye Lucky Lucky Oye
- Hulla
- Fashion
- Tashan
- Bachna ae haseeno

| LAATSTE DAG! AMD DUAL CORE ATHLON64 X2 4200+ 1,5 GB/160GB/DVDRW 3 DAGEN € 209
February 16, 2009 05:50:00Let op: afgebeelde cardreader, toetsenbord en muis worden niet meegeleverd!
Nu 3 dagen tot en met maandag 16 februari a.s. extra voordelig! Maar 209 voor een supermachine waar u zo 2 schermen op aansluit! Vanaf de 17e kost deze PC € 229! Razendsnelle DUAL Core Athlon64 X2 4200+ machine in een zeer fraaie kastEn dat voor maar 209 euro ipv 259 euro! Dat is ongekend voordelig, daar moet je heel snel bij zijn! En dat voor een computer die sneller is dan Intel Dual Core 2 x 3,4 ghz! Echt Most Value For Your Money!! Met een AMD/ATI Radeon chipset moederbord met niet alleen 5.1 geluid (6 aansluitingen) USB, Lan, maar ook tot 1GB videogeheugen, met aansluitingen voor een VGA scherm maar ook nog een DVI scherm, zodat u (evt. met een verloopje) 2 schermen kunt aansluiten! Geheugen is in dual channel geplaatst voor tot 25% extra snelheid!!
Een AMD computer met een Dual Core (X2) 4200+ processor met 2 kernen van 2,2 ghz, echt supersnel rekenmonster voor supersnelle uitvoering van ingewikkelde taken. Dan met een harde schijf van 160 gb, 1536 mb merkgeheugen (2 banken), samen met een mooie Double Layer DVD/CDbrander met DVD/CD speler (alles in 1 apparaat) in een zeer mooie superdegelijke kast met 400 watt voeding, compleet geassembleerd voor maar 209 euro in plaats van 259 euro (de onderdelenprijs)!!
Moederbord van topmerk FOXCONN met een AMD 690 chipset, echt een verbazingwekkend staaltje van techniek, met Radeon X1250 VGA kaart on chip en D-sub plus DVI aansluiting!
"There’s a lot to like about AMD’s new 690 chipset. The most obvious feature that stands out in our opinion though is its Radeon X1250 graphics.
Thanks to Radeon X1250, AMD 690 can drive two digital displays simultaneously. And as we mentioned previously, the integrated graphics engine supports dual-link DVI; the chipset had no problems running Dell’s 3007WFP at 2560x1600. This is great news for IT professionals in an environment with a wide range of PCs, the integrated graphics engine inside AMD 690 is so versatile it can drive any display, whether it’s a 10-year old 15” CRT running off VGA, or the latest 30” LCD off DVI.
Meanwhile, home theater PC users will appreciate the fact that both HDMI and component video outputs are also supported, provided the motherboard provides the right connections. And with the addition of Surroundview, just pop in a Radeon graphics card and you’re ready for up to four displays! Media center PC users will also appreciate the addition of Avivo, we ran a quick test of HQV and confirmed that the 690 chipset is capable of delivering a score of 80. Now technically the GeForce 6150 with Purevideo is capable of slightly higher scores, but Purevideo isn’t always bundled with NVIDIA hardware and starts at $19.99 for the Bronze version. With AMD 690 you’re getting good video quality out-of-the-box for free.
AMD’s 690 chipset also outperformed GeForce 6150 in our gaming tests. AMD 690 outran the GeForce 6150 in all of the games we tested, with the 690 chipset running nearly two times faster than GeForce 6150 in Company of Heroes and F.E.A.R. at 1280x1024. The GeForce 6150 platform ran faster in our DivX conversion and Windows Media Encoder 9 tests though, as well as Cinebench 9.5 and PCMark 05. Both PCMark 05 and HDTach also revealed a slight performance advantage in the storage subsystem for GeForce 6150. The GeForce 6150 platform was also more power hungry than AMD 690, particularly under load."
Deze processor scoort in sommige benchmarks bijna even snel als de razendpopulaire Intel E2140 en sneller dan de Intel Pentium Dual Core 2 x 3,2 ghz! Bovendien is deze processor sneller dan Core2 Duo T5450! Dus met de prestaties zit het wel snor!

| Birth Planning
December 22, 2008 03:10:12A birth plan is just like preparing an itinerary when you go on a trip. You want everything to flow smoothly so your focus will be only on the aspect of delivering your baby and regaining your strength after the ordeal of being pregnant and having a baby. All the other details should be in your birth plan. Your birth plan is also a big help to your doctor and the nurses who will attend to you during delivery. They will already have your instructions as to how your delivery will be handled. Going through labor and delivery are most unpredictable. You should never take anything for granted because even the smallest complication could cause things awry and throw your carefully planned birth plan down the drain.
A birth plan should be composed in a compact style because your doctor and the attending nurses wouldn’t have time to read a long novel. Two pages is sufficient for an ideal birth plan but this does not mean that you will oppose any other suggestions your doctor or midwife may have during the actual delivery that is not in your birth plan. Flexibility is important with the ultimate goal of a safe delivery and having a healthy baby. - [Read more] |

| My two-year-old DSH Rex we recently adopted loves to be petted most of the time, and rubs...
November 10, 2008 00:00:00How fun! Every cat is unique. I have heard of other cats that like to have their tail gently stroked and tugged. Not all cats enjoy tummy rubs, although they may roll on the ground and seem to ask for that. Rolling generally is a solicitation of attention, and not necessarily a tummy rub. But it takes a very confident and trusting cat to accept tummy rubs. Your Rex sounds like a normal, very affectionate kitty. Enjoy! - [Read more] |

| Carrier Oils
April 24, 2007 13:00:00It is important to learn not only about the variety of essentials oils and their benefits, but also the way to properly combine them with a carrier oil before applying to the skin. Essential oils are concentrated and alone are very potent. Carrier oils carry essential oils to the skin safely. If essential oils are applied directly to the skin they can irritate it and have a negative effect instead of fulfilling their helpful, healing purpose.
