Great Findings

2012: An odyssey is a movie produced by Sacred Mysteries. It gives an impression of a commercial documentary. It talks about a raging phenomenon that is due to take place sometime near the winter solstice of 2012. The documentary footage travels through the length of United States panning out to California and Georgia with equal ease.

In between traveling from one geographical locale to another, the footage is mingled with expert comments from lecturers and erudite locals. This makes for an interesting viewing.

On December 2012, in accordance with the Mayan Calendar, the world will end. Now many prophesies fail and humans, like the invincible race that they are, stand tall against all kind of problems. Despite this, the doomsday prophesy builds a lot of tautness among viewers who curiously wait for the solution to this.

The movie needed its audience to be well versed with metaphysics though. So it might have been uninteresting for few of the viewers who had no idea about Shamanism, ascension and any traditional ritual of the indigenous area.

After 2012: the war of souls, this is the second movie which brings to light the Mayan prophesies of Doomsday. Watch it for the UFO theorists. They pack quite a punch.

2012 The Movie Trailer

All those of us who want an apparently free ride on a svelte, sizzling camaraderie can have the time of their lives. Katrina Kaif is matching swords with John Abraham to produce what looks like being one of the real blockbusters of coming times.

The movie would be produced by Yash Raj films. Now few years ago this would have been a success mantra in itself but these are tough times for Yash Raj flicks and they are going through a series of misses, may be interspersed with an odd hit.

Direction mantle will be taken by Kabir Khan, the guy who is attributed to the semi-success of Kabul express. (In fact it did reasonably well in certain territories) the film also has the self- assured but unassuming Neil Nitin Mukesh.

Yash Raj films have been known to keep their venture in complete wraps till the post production stages. Keeping in line with the trend, they have not revealed much. The movie is expected to hit theaters in early 2009.

Monica Bhattacharjee, spokeswomen for YRF has not confirmed even the title, suggesting it is a tentative one.

John Abraham has already become a brand in this country with the latest line of accessories that he has flashed under his name. After Anurag Kashyap’s No Smoking and Kukhnoor’s Aashaayein, he has taken up New York which again like Khan’s Kabul Express is based on terrorism and its various ramifications.

Here is wishing that it gives some scopes of acting to the very charming Miss kaif.

Friendster happens to be the top social networking site in Asia. Indonesians have a lot to cheer about as the social networking site will offer hordes of other languages in coming times. It has 52 million registered users and a great inflow of traffic; the visitor line-up nears a mammoth figure of 36 million.

The visitors love the fundamental concept attached to this social networking site. Friends meet friends and sometimes discover a new facet to it.

Newscorp has funded mySpace.com with $580 million and even You Tube has snatched up a bounty from Google. These are the brightest times for social networking sites. Soon perhaps, Friendster will also be grabbed. It only seems like in the coming.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 (SVR 2009) has hit the charts again. Get ready once again to be in the ring with your favorite WWE stars and experience the exploratory fun in the form of virtual realization from the top 3 gaming franchises in the world the PlayStation 2, Wii and XBox 360. These gaming devices always up hold the expectations of their viewers by providing the most levelheaded simulations of live WWE programming.

People were crazily waiting for the game from its very first advertisement on the Internet. People have admired Raw and SmackDown since its beginning and never missed a show. The match, the graphics, the story lines and the tag team playing, all look very much impressive and well built.

WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2009 is the acknowledged preference for those who inquire about an ambitious, content-rich and gratifying sports pursuit videogame. It offers an impressive list of new features and significant franchise improvements across all platforms

The WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 is the best among the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 as you can create your own finisher and this is probably the most excellent thing which can be added to this game. It is the ninth game of this series with tons of customization and modes. The basic engine of the game is the same but with a lot of tweaking and personalization.

There are many features and attributes added by Yuke to this new version. There is a better hit revealing almost in every match situation along with a greater concentration given to the hotspots which prompt effects such as entering or exiting the ring and designate when a superstar should be climbing to the top rope for aerial maneuvers.

Presently the game is available in 1-4 players options in both online and offline environments. For the ease of the players it has downloadable content and online leader boards as well. Online voice support with EDTV 480p and HDTV 720p support is also an added feature in the game.

The look and the feel of the game is definitely far better than the last year’s release as it has a lot more content to render to the viewers, facial maps and general body textures are greatly improved and are richly enhanced. The 3D flair is enhanced in the game by muscle striations and vein bulging effect of each wrestler during the game. Aesthetics make you feel that you are the part of the fighting ring and it’s indeed a great achievement.

The entry of every wrestler is highlighted with astonishing precision, as the all songs and scores are from the actual shows and voice performing features the actual performers in all of the important areas and the stands are full of strident, sign-wielding fans. This creates a sense of enthusiasm for the player. The game supports interactive backstage and round-the-ring environment. To add a realistic touch in the game there is a toss before every major event and with appropriate lightening effects.

The best part of teaming up now is that the two characters purpose as much more of a team, there’s a lot less sentiment of individual effort out there. Health is still mainly based on if an individual wrestler is getting worn out or doing the rough treatment in the ring, but overall momentum waxes and wanes with the duo’s on the whole presentation.

Extraordinary moves have also been implemented just for tag-team action, such as the standard double-teams commonly seen in the WWE, and even finishers which call upon the skills of both brawlers. Even the climactic “hot tag” scenarios, where the down-and-out wrestler in-ring somehow finds the will to tag his fresh and overly enthusiastic partner is in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 to add that additional level of realism. These additions may seem minor, but they definitely created a more believable tag-team experience in our mega-card Saturday Night Main Event throw-down.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 has astounding amount of match types available. If you don’t see a match type in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009’s menus, it perhaps doesn’t exist in the WWE. Other than the wrestling standard number of competitors in typical steel cage match or Royal Rumble, you can enjoy WWE trademarks such as Hell in Cell, ECW Extreme Rule, MITB and Inferno match as well.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 gives you full option to customize the rosters with the help of separate Career mode, where wrestlers are allowed to move among the brands.

The game menu list is much impressive as it is longer than the expectations of the viewers. There is an availability of customized tournament arena which can be created from the scratch as required by the player. The lists of super stars can be cooked from the start and their lists can be then moved in any way done by the player. You can also edit the entering and exiting sequences with simple and robust snippets provided by the vendor.

Currently the game is present online with the four player mode and live functionality is more standard as the user formed content is very much welcomed. A number of new characters are added in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 such as chris jericho, poul london, brian kendrick,and the ultimate warrior.

So finally the cat is out of the bag now with a great bang. The game is really stepped up in several aspects which makes it the best wrestling game currently being played. Greater online functionality and character customization has made the game much closer to the imagination and expectation of the player.

It seems that innovation is on its way through this game so over all you are on a dynamic wrestling ride with WWE SVR 2009.

Former American Idol Contestant Paula GoodSpeed found Dead, In Front of Paula Abduls House

Paula Goodspeed was found dead outside of Paula Abdul’s home on Tuesday, November 11, 2008. She was 30 years old, and the cause of death has been ruled a suicide, a drug overdose. Appearing on American Idol in 2006, Paula Goodspeed never made it past the first audition. Simon Cowell made a comment regarding her braces and she was eliminated due to the fact that her singing was, less than stunning. However, looking back at the video now, there are signs that Paula Goodspeed was less than stable.

When interviewed, Paula Goodspeed revealed that she had been a fan of Paula Abdul’s since she was a little girl. She also claimed that she had been drawing life-sized portraits of Paula Abdul. The fact that Paula Goodspeed had been obsessed with Paula Abdul makes many wonder how the future of American Idol will deal with this tragedy. In fact, Paula Goodspeed was so obsessed with Paula Abdul, that she changed her name, sixteen years ago. Paula Goodspeed’s real name is Sandra, indicating that when she had auditioned for American Idol, she had already been harvesting a lifelong obsession for Miss Abdul, including changing her name.

Paula Goodspeed - American Idol Audition

There are many questions being asked regarding American Idol and the way it treats contestants. First, the spotlight is focusing on Simon Cowell and his habitual rude dealings with contestants. When those auditioning for American Idol have handicaps, disabilities, or suffer from mental illness should they be made fun of? However, the question remains, how are the producers to know whether or not the contestants have disabilities. Yes, some are physical and can be seen visibly, but those like the type Paula Goodspeed suffers from are worn inside the mind. They seemingly appear like they are balanced and stable, yet after time progresses and looking back in hindsight, you can clearly see the indications that things weren’t as they appeared to be. Such is the case with Paula Goodspeed.

The fact remains that American Idol is a live reality show. They go from city to city auditioning real people to make the cut. However, if you review the terms of the American Idol website, you grant them all rights to use your audition tape in any way they see fit. This is evidenced by the many episodes of Idol Rewind where they play the “worst of the worst” and evoke laughter by showcasing those whose performances were, quite frankly, awful. Yet, should this practice continue? Even when we know that some of these contestants who appear to be off kilter, actually are?

American Idol is entering its 13th season, and with it will be a new female judge. Her name is Kara DioGuardi and she is a former roommate of Paula Abdul’s. Speculation had risen during the announcement of the addition that Paula Abdul had plans on leaving the show. Now, with the Paula Goodspeed tragedy, talk of Paula’s demise from the show has resurfaced. Paula Goodspeed had been apparently stalking Paula Abdul for the past three years. Phone calls coupled with over 100 letters evidenced her obsession. On Paula Goodspeed’s MySpace page she wrote that Paula Abdul was her secret crush. Her license plate bore the letters- ABL LV. Days before her apparent suicide, she had sent flowers to Paula Abdul. Paula Abdul had mistakenly believed the flowers were from her boyfriend, J.T. Torregiani.
