On Serena + Venus Williams - A 5 star commentary....

Just read a terrific commentary on Serena + Venus Williams here. http://craighickmanontennis.blogspot.com/2009/10/williams-tennis-association.html
Right from the title,
which grips - in its truism,
to the
engaging, if sublime,
manner this writeup
eloquently describes,
that,
that we know,
modern icons,
of women Tennis,
straight up,
to the conclusions,
and axiomatic inferences,
This is a truly powerful
remark,
on the state of flux;
a lil bit of trance,
the powers of the powers that be-
the WTA;

Where a future is sought,
yet one unfolds,
right on their hands.

Its been a blessing,
to have witnessed,
the duo, make it
and top it - their careers,

You get the sense,
its one, you 'd
really fancy,
re-telling to grandsons,
just how
truly phenomenal,
it was - to have lived,
when Venus + Serena
conquered.

5star post this was...

Been listening to: Igboro : Lord of Ajasa ft. Pasunma : Lord of Ajasa comes of age...

, , , ...


The easiest way to attempt to review this song - Igboro by Lord Of Ajasa ft. Pasuma, is to cast back the career of Lord of Ajasa and agree unanimously, that on this one, he truly comes of age.



He used to sound pretty monotonous and almost pointless but not on this one. In Igboro,
you won't memorize every word but it will light up any party. madly! The lyrics are pretty straightfoward, but you can't fault the delivery.

It will infect you.


Take a look at a snapshot of ones I liked:

//Ohun to ba wu elenu.... lo le fi enu e so.
// mo lenu ladugbo mi.//
// Omo....../no dulling/
// bebe nlo............lako/lako lo ma ba wa.




Where the song really strikes gold is the fantatic introduction of Fuju Maestro - Pasunma Wonder,
midway into the 4 minutes of a total dance-ware, this track is.

The incursion, the delivery, is simply class!

And you don't have to like Pasuma to know. Brilliant musical delivery tells itself....

Rich, in the way it mixes street Nigerian slangs - we can't have enough of them, with a breezy
blend of synth, and very streamlined horns, and the very basic drums, the least you can say of the production is tasteful.


If you like it varied, and hot Iboro is a must;


And if you are a party or dance buff, You don't dare miss this from your playlist.

Very well done!

Hats off to Saharareporters! -- the last bastion of Journalism in the Nigerian namespace.

, , , ...

To be Nigerian means a lot of of things to many people,
But to be a Nigerian, a true one,
is to have lived through the reversal of hope,
on many fronts - political and you-name-it.



Yet,
When you take a deep breath,
and think about the incredible,
amount of first-class investigative journalism,
in the face of utter idiocy of a government class,
and docility, of the remaining mainstream media empires,
that Sahara Reporters achieves,
a Nigerian has to take his hats off,
and pay respects..

That, we may be collectively down,
That we may be in search of heroes,
That we may have a gigantic collection of,
irredeemable fools, for leaders,
and oh! a first-class dead-on-arrival president;


we still have the enterprise,
to come together in streams, and bits,
with the eternal idea, that evil
when confronted, can be defeated.


And we dream and we walk on.

Adept at deploying the very latest of technologies,
unsurpassed, at breaking Nigerian News - most of them depressing,
and unrivalled, at trailing the blaze, stepping into cordoned no-go-areas,
Sahara Reporters is the undisputed king of the news!

So to the entire Sahara Reporters Team:-

Here is a big props: Keep it up !

Football: Manchester United 2 v Sunderland 2: Unknown Force...

, , , ...

What force?
drives,
that maddening buzz,
mental and nervous overdrive,
the fate of a football fan,
games like this ?
::

they came out,
guns blazing,
underrated Sunderland,
drove into the theatre of dreams,
blanket eerie everywhere,
swallowing the dream,
as if enamoured by the golden sun,
in their land - Steve Bruce;

offsprings of a don...

Ben Foster,
with bizarre procession,
sprinkles the mortal juices;
evil ones, if you are the drinking manc;

::
Radiowaves abuzz,
the Greene asking,
Ferguson,
Taking the M-I-C,
and Danny Wellbeck starts,
forgetful,
that its 27years of mixing,
sometimes artistic,
equally startling proportions,
of poison,
for new United inductees,
in endless search,
for the king...

::

The anti-United brigandage,
they lurk,
dreaming and hoping,
partly enjoying the drama,
served with arresting force,
partly supplicating,
cautious still,
that the consipiracists,
capture,
as the Fergie-time-cloud,
ticks/tock/ and its 2-1
in the wait,
the sacred final whistle

::

United losing,
90,000 silence,
the force twists,
The Sunderland,
the dream collapses under the weight,
of impending glory,
still standing tall,
what force ?

::
Visits eternal stupidity,
ordered, Richardson
with spontenaous alacrity,
delivered first class,
a red,
Out!

::
Fluke,
Breakthrough,
Escape,
Its 2-2.
94minutes of Intensity,
It burns, you cant cry,
It rocks, you are mad,
It sucks, you are alone,
man-made warefare,
without blood, It galls,
without goals, It bores...
without nerves, dont play.

::
Yet, Its Heaven,
Unknown when you get there,
Unseen what drives,
Unstoppable, what gives.

Its Beautiful.
Football? aaaaaaaw.
Heaven inside hell...

Been Reading: Reviews: Learning C++ : The most beautiful way to begin is …

There are so many ways to learn the fundamentals of C++ but I have just finished

the first-pass of reading this book.: : ACCELERATED C++   by Andrew Koenig.

 

There are too many beautiful things to say about this book, more than enough has been written on

its amazon reviews page.

This book is the most beautiful way to get up and running with a language that overwhelms when taught traditionally, but terribly elegant when mastered.

Its about 300 pages but, you read it and wonder how you ever got started without it.

A 5 ***** book by miles….A true credit to the depth of knowledge of its 2 authors.

Buy this book, if you want to learn C++. o tan.

When Buying from Wstore.co.uk turns into a joke....because their sales reps are idi0ts.

How easy is it to catch a scammer ?

What thresholds must be crossed, before a customer service agent,
summarily concludes, that email in his Inbox requesting for
a basic quote for potential deliveries is another all too familiar,
stereotypically tagged "Nigerian"-scam email ?

Someone I know yesterday emailed this store
requesting for a quote for a supplies he had intended to bid for.

All was going well, with a sales rep. requesting for information on the intended destination of the items.

Here was the exact response:

Thanks for your enquiry, can you advise where the goods are going to be
delivered to?



Few minutes later, a lot at the store that goes with the name Dan Rankin had had a brainwave,
of sorts, replying with this:


Your quote is:
















1 meeeeeeeeeelion dollars!!!



A subtle dismissal of the request-for-quotes, as one from a scammer..

I took it upon myself to register my displeasure on at the hasty and offensive response
but I got no response.

So to all of you at Wstore.co.uk, especially these three:

- Louise Susans , Chris Wilkins and most especially Dan Rankins;

You are who you are, short-sighted Idi0ts.

all there is to say.


UPDATE: - I received a phone call, with lots of apologies from a staff of wStore this afternoon on this issue.

Which is good.

When she is not happy & ‘angry’ with you?

You spoke 48hours ago.

Everything was fine.

24 hours on, you send a text: unreplied.

You ring up finding if she is fine. she wont pick up.

You email. pin-drop!

 

she writes you back, in 12hours,

that she’s not happy with you,

and you should have noticed:

 

Apparently, you did not notice.

 

What  to do ?


a. text back “Be Fine!” and get back to me when you are happy.

b. text back “I am on my knees, come get the happy stick from me”

c. hop onto a taxi and find her, kiss + beg.

d. I have no idea – girls suck!

 

What do you do ?

Football: Burnley 1 - Manchester United 0. Burned! and Sliced!

, , , ...

It was always said, that the Owen idea, radical as it was, was a tough gamble only SAF could play.

For me, Owen goes into the casket tonight.
Or the reserves @ the least.

It’s a little hasty, but I see Kiko Macheda -young as he were, scoring at least one of the 4 clearcut chances the chap has had in United! coulours thus far. That would not have cost the team perhaps the community sheild, the whole texture of this murderous game would have been absolutely different.

You cant complain losing out on a free gamble. We ‘d better dump him so we have a rough idea where we head.

Evra was on full gas today, and that shown alongside the experience of Giggs…but that was all.

Its a full blown fact now, United! needs a midfield maestro and the time is absolutely fuckin g now. Dont ever want to see United! play that ridiculously ever.

If you could tolerate that murderous performance, or excuse it as a rare concentration loss, against a terrific Barcelona side, you simply musn't think it against Burnley. It's sacrilege.

Yet! As the songs of excitement, scratch that, jest, from the Arsenal fans (who's got surprising reasons to be happy) and the Chelsea wannabes (yes! I said that) crank into top gear, there's a lot of going to be confident about.

In that, we have been exposed for the inadequacies of the seniors - the law of averages working most definitely against Park + Anderson + O'shea - , and that the long road to the generation X of United! players must begin now, a die-hard manc, takes faith;

That there are three things that makes the heart of a champion;

That you must be the master,
Seek to be the master,
And never do arrogance - especially on the unforgiving green
patch of the game...

You must play, with respect but believe,
With mind, and with soul
And always remember,
that it is in defeats,
unfathomable defeats especially,
that you learn the value of Victory.

This was a night of dreams for the Burnley 11, my hats off to their goalkeeper,
and what a glorious goal, that was to win a memorable game against visiting champions.

As for those never ending trumps about Ronaldo, there is only one refrain:

Manchester United > Ronaldo. Always has. Always will.
You couldn't stop a man from following his dreams,
but people forget that when a king dies - Ronaldo never conquered by the way,
the people rediscover their own dreams too,
and that includes the discovery of new kings.

Football, What Beautiful game. United! What a wounded dog...:smile:

Michael Jackson --- final word.

, , , ...

So late, this is, or is it?
but I feel less healed,
as if there is healing - a world devoid of Michael Jackson,
should I fail to put out,
my final words on a man so iconic,
we couldn't understand.

Each time, I play your Speechless, Michael,
haunted to the marrow,
the purity of your voice,
delicious and sparkling,

Or try to Imagine,
a world, where all things genius,
was a joint, a step, or a move away,
yet,
a world, so tormented; So abused and
misunderstood,

The conclusion stare me in the face,
you was the one,
who gave all the peace, love and
internal harmony,
spreading it, like a web,
yet, starved, of a piece of it all.

Gone too soon; The truest great
that truly was. and Is.

Little Honours, to have lived this
generation with you. The tears flow,
And the bye never stops.
Until the very end of time.

RIP MJ.

ffdshow + sopcast: watching streams at enhanced video quality.

, , , ...

I have always wanted to share this tutorial but get lazy each time I try to compose it.

Until today getting totally bored watching a Liverpool v Tottenham match on 1.2M/s sopcast stream
I found on http://myp2p.eu ,I found the desire to share this little trick, with the rest of you p2p tweenies:)


Here are the step by step (with screenshots) of how well I was able to improve the color and visual performance of the internet livestreams, simply by using the ffdshow codecPack.

1.

Things to download first.

ffdshow plugin - grab the latest stable version here.
Sopcast WMP filter - here.

2. How to Install.

Ffdshow is pretty easy to install, just make sure to install the entire pack. If you have any questions, feel free to post here but ffdshow wont break your system (if your system isn't already broken that is)

Edit: There is a basic tutorial on how to install ffdshow here

Also Install the Sopcast filter. Just click next next and you are done.

3. To load a stream.
Here is the tricky part, to be able to adjust color and picture properties and improve them on a sopcast stream,
you must load the stream directly in WMP not in Sopcast.


-Get the sopcast address,e.g sop://broker1.sopcast.com/12345 and copy it.
(you can find them for most events by visiting here

-Open Windows Media Player as shown below and paste the URL after pressing ctrl+O









-allow stream to settle as shown above.
(Note, You are now watching a sopcast stream using WMP directly. Awesome!



4. The interesting part follows.

- goto the lower part of you windows taskbar


- You will see the red icon (ffdshow video decoder control ) and a blue icon (ffdshow audio decoder control)

- Right Click on the Video Controller (the red Icon ) and you get this.



- Now click on FFDSHOW Video Decoder and you are right on the screen shot below where all the action is.




5.
There are many ways to tweak the color of your stream, and most will depend on the
bitrate of the livestream, but for Immediate color improvement do the following

- on the leftmost listings, make sure to select PICTURE PROPERTIES

- On the rightmost parts with various sliders, find SATURATION and Crank it up.



- Check the improvement of your video. :D And you can say Nice. :smile:
