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.
