2009 Community Shield: Manchester United vs. Chelsea

2009 Community Shield: Manchester United vs. Chelsea

Premier League Champions Manchester United and 2009 FA Cup winners Chelsea, battle it out today at Wembley Stadium in a bid to win the Community Shield—or Charity Shield as it will forever be known by football enthusiasts of a certain era.

The last time they met, the Red Devils won. And for football fans here in the Philippines, the Premiership ranks first amongst the other leagues.

Sir Alex Ferguson still has one of the world’s toughest teams at his disposal, despite the sale of the both Ronaldo and Tevez.

For Chelsea, John Terry will start in defense, and he’s likely to be alongside Ricardo Carvalho. While Ancelotti will assess whether he feels his most efficient attacking option is through a pairing of Drogba and Anelka, or one of them deployed as a lone striker.

The match kicks-off at 10:00 a.m. ET (4:00 p.m. CET).

UPDATE: Salomon Kalou scored the winning penalty as Chelsea beat United 4-1 in a shootout to clinch the Community Shield. The London side scored all four of their spot-kicks, while Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra both missed their penalties for the Reds.

Creative Thinking - Orange Solar Powered Tent with Electronics

Camping is always fun. A chance to get away from the world, and live in a world of isolation without any form of electrical aids or entertainment. Well, up until now that is. Orange has just revealed their new solar powered tent which is labeled as a 'tent of the future'. The tent will ensure that all your gadgets and electronics will function during your camping visit, though some may feel this defeats the purpose of camping.

Orange teamed up with American product design consultants, Kaleidoscope, to create this modern day tent which harnesses solar energy in order to power your gadgets and equipment via a wireless charging pouch. The tent uses a photovoltaic fabric to receive the maximum amount of energy directly from the sun throughout the day. There is also an integrated "Glocation" technology instilled which assists campers in finding their way back to their tent. You can use your mobile phone to send a text message to your tent, which will then cause the camp to glow and become easily identifiable.

The solar powered tent has a wireless control hub which illustrates the total amount of energy generated and also the amount of that energy consumed. There is also a wireless internet signal on a touch screen display, and even a heating system, which kicks into action as soon as the temperature within the tent drops below a certain level.

This definitely is the future of camping.

A man is genuine--Modern Axe story

If a female is reading this article then just realize the value of a man; and if it’s a male then feel proud of after reading it!


"One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?"


The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living.


The Lord went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.


The woodcutter replied, "No."


The Lord again went down and came up with a silver Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.


Again, the woodcutter replied, "No."


The Lord went down again and came up with an iron Axe. "Is this your axe?" the Lord asked.


The woodcutter replied, "Yes."


The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy.


Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"


"Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!"


The Lord went down into the water and came up with Trisha "Is this your wife?" the Lord asked....


"Yes," cried the woodcutter.


The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"


The woodcutter replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Trisha , You would have come up with Asin . Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife . Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care Of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to Trisha ."



The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others.

Benefits of Blood Donation

The simple process of donating blood will save numerous lives. The blood goes to those suffering from cancer, severe burns, leukemia, anemia, hemophilia and others undergoing surgery.


Decrease the Chance of Heart Disease: Each time you give blood, you remove some of the iron it contains. High blood iron levels can increase the

risk of heart disease. Iron has been shown to speed the oxidation of cholesterol, a process thought to increase the damage to arteries that ultimately leads to cardiovascular disease. With heart disease being the number one cause of death in males, this is, indeed, an important health benefit of donating blood.

Potentially Lower the Risk of Cancer: In a recent long-term study of more than a million Scandinavian blood donors, giving blood was found to be linked with a lower risk of cancers (liver, lung, colon, stomach, and throat) in men, with risk dropping as blood donation increased.


Donate blood only after knowing the pros and cons of it...
