Angelina Jolie is adopting an Indian baby to add to her growing international brood, according to US reports.

The actress and partner Brad Pitt have already applied to adopt a tot from an Indian orphanage. An insider said: "They hope to be able to bring the child home by Christmas. Brad would prefer a boy no older than 18 months to even out the sexes but Angie has told him she can’t guarantee she won’t fall in love with a little girl." 
 

 "Whichever they end up with, they'd like to name the child India to honour its homeland." The pair are rumoured to have visited an orphanage last month.

Angelina’s first child, five-year-old Maddox, was adopted in Cambodia in 2002. Last year she adopted an Ethiopian baby girl — Zahara Marley Jolie — orphaned by AIDS, now 22 months old.

2) Every city - despite of its size - has at least one old lady who drives herbelongings in some old baby buggy or shopping cart around. If the lady is a guy he always uses a shopping cart and never a baby buggy.

3) If some old wino witnesses some sort of unbelievable event (aliens landing, Monsters eating people...), there are two possibilities. He either looks at the paper-wrapped bottle with a view of disgust, throws it away and starts a new life or he takes a deep breath and then slowly walks the other direction.

4) Radiation - despite of its amount - almost instantly results in burn wounds or big ugly abscesses with yellow fluid leakings. Oh yes, this is only for bad guys. Good guys will never suffer from radiation instantly. And the hero, of course, will not suffer from radiation at all...

5) German soldiers/terrorists seem to be able to pronounce only two phrases correctly: "Jawohl!" und "Herr General!". For all the other words they mostly use some kind of guttural Orc language. This assumes that they all have short names like Karl or Franz. Names with more than one syllable don´t occur because they wouldn´t be able to pronounce them, anyway... The more consonants a German surname has, the more evil the character is. If he also has some kind of aristocratic prefix he´s the incarnate evil. So, "von Strattmann" is likely more evil than "Strattmann".

6) If you ring the bell of a house and nobody opens after the third try the possibilities depend on the inhabitant´s character: If she is the only important witness she almost surely lies slaughtered in the bath tube. If he is the only important witness he almost surely lies on the ground with a bullet in his head. If, by some obscure circumstances, you find the person alive, unbothered and unharmed, you´re to be sure that the poor guy/girl will be killed soon after you leave. If she holds some vital information about the villain and belongs to the villain´s labour/group she most likely is gone shopping and is about to return just in the second you found the vital information. So, no danger here... If he holds some vital information about the villain and belongs to the villain´s labour/group he most likely enters the room soon after you started the search. No real danger here, too, since those guys always ask "What are you doing here!" before they draw their weapons. So, either talk yourself out of the situation or knock the guy out.

7) Male teenagers who are new to town always suffer from the "New Kid Syndrom", which means that nobody likes them, unless they make some new odd friend. This new friend most likely is one of three types; 1)Another underdog kid with odd abilities and odd habits. 2) An old guy who teaches some kind of weird martial arts voodoo. 3) Some crazy animal like worn-out race horses, unbelievable clever dogs, dolphins, Orcas, Wolfes or wild cats. By this, they usually get the attention of the hottest girl at school, whose
boyfriend is anything other than happy about that. They normally start a fight at one point, the animal gets hurt (poor thing), the girl slaps her former boyfriend, kisses the new kid, all are happy, the end.

8) For the female teenagers there is only one way to go; they find a new friend (odd girl, dance teacher, old lady) who transform them into Cinderella. So she first gets attracted by the school´s Idiot (seen from the sight of an adult: football star, best looking bully, is barely able to read or write) but later chooses the friendly, shy guy that she got to know on her first day, all are happy, the end.

9) The janitor of a school is either a frightening old guy who hates children or he is a unbelievable friendly person who is always there for the underdogs.

10) In every comedy the main character´s boss is a complete and utter idiot. In real life this type of guy would even have diffiuties to get the job as a street cleaner but in movieland they all seem to have good, highly paid jobs.

11) If the title "Professor" is connected to some kind of important invention, the inventor is most likely a white male in his 60s w/ scruffy hair-doo, metal-rimmed glasses and at least one unearthly beautiful AND smart daughter. If he has also a son, it´s most likely that this son might betray his father by stealing this important invention. If he has two sons and no daughters, one of the sons is good, the other is evil.

12) If there by some odd circumstances are commercials on Radio/TV in a movie, they are almost about ridiculous things that noone would ever buy. It´s most likely that only the product´s name is mentioned and you have absolutely no idea what it might be. Like "Stroodles! Buy one, get one free!"

13) If Teenagers find themselves locked in the house and lots of scary things happen (aka masked people running around with axes, knifes or chainsaws) they eventually try to call the police after they found their best friend´s head in some odd place (usually the fridge or the wardrobe) or slip on some litres of blood in a room where their best friend´s hanging upside down from the ceiling. But no matter what they try (normal phone, dad´s radio set, cellphones) they never get through.

14) If you move to a strange village where strange things happen, you´re to be sure that half of the townsfolk is involved while the other half is on vacation.

15) It never fails that right when the girl yells out to her boyfriend she's gonna go take a shower, the killer happens to be close by and then creeps in the bathroom to kill her. When the girl hears a small creak in the floor boards she calls out her boyfriend's name and then gets out of the shower wrapping herself in a towel. She then goes around the corner to have the killer bring her to her death.

16) Whenever the main hero is about to confess something important to another character (usually a love interest) they both have something to say. The hero lets the other person go first, and whatever they say makes the hero not want to say what he was about to say. When asked what they were going to say, they say something unimportant like "Nice dress".

17) All simulation computers used by any government agency (i.e. NASA) should be discounted in the face of the intuition of new/inexperienced/underdo g characters, who will inevitably sway their doubters at a critical moment by screaming, "Their computers are wrong! I know I'm right!"

18) People never get hickups , sneeze, or cough during movies.

19) Whenever the hero crawls through the ventilation system, the vents are never hot or cold. That way, the hero never has to burn himself on the hot metal while he is eluding the villain. Likewise, he will never have to shiver if the air conditioning is on.

20) Clapping finales in the movies often follow the same rules. First, there will be complete silence after the hero accomplishes a task or gives an inspiring speech. Second, one solitary person (this is often someone who means a great deal to the hero. The hero might have even had relationship problems with this person) will begin to clap slowly and rhythmically. Third, the solitary clapper is slowly joined by another...and then another...and then another clapper until ultimately everyone is clapping for the hero. ex. Cool Runnings, Strictly Ballroom, Can't Buy Me Love, etc.

21) Cleaning ladies in movies always wear black and white.

22) Butlers always speak in a monotone voice and are very unhappy.

23) The murderers in horror movies always have to be some nerd seeking revenge on the popular kids.

24) Whenever you see kids playing video games, they're always pressing random buttons constantly on the controller and making facial expressions while tilting their bodies side to side.

25) A woman falls in love with a superhero whose alter ego is madly in love with her. Eventually, she rejects the superhero for the "mild-mannered" alternate identity, but it is only when she kisses him for the first time that she realizes who he truly is. This cliche is never applied to men who fall in love with female superheroes. Ever.

26) If your dream is shown, then that dream is one of three things:
1) A perfectly accurate memory of some ancient time;
2) A completely correct vision of the future, or;
3) A 100% perfect psychic sending from the present.

27) If you're a male police officer, you will lose your job due to catching the wrong man and embaressing the police force. Don't worry, though; you will continue with the case on your own and eventually catch the right guy.

28) The president/leader of any organization will be in a swivel chair. You will start talking to them, and only when you enrage them will they turn around.

29) Although the most experienced sports team that have tried and tried and practiced and practiced for months before the big tournament can never win the trophy, a small group of geeky misfits will win it with ease.

30) Horror movies are the only movies where you can see a skinny, blonde chick start a chainsaw.

31) Anyone that's out in the ocean will be eaten by a shark.

32) There's always a midget in a carnival.

33) Phone lines are always cut off or busy when a person is trying to call for help when running from a murderer.

34) Guns never have to be reloaded. Characters will shoot forever.

35) The boss is always a cynical jerk.

36) Despite the character's job, they're always working in a cubicle.

37) All old ladies in movies have cats.

38) Lifeguards never hear your cries of help on the beach. Never.

39) In teen movies, the football player ALWAYS goes out with the cheerleader.

40) Throwing spitballs and passing notes are the ONLY two forms of amusement in a classroom when it comes to movies.

41) There's always thet weird, 'dum dum DUM DUM' sound of music playing in the background when a character is hiding from the murderer in their closet.

42) Everyone wears their shoes on inside the house.

43) All teens have a huge poster of the opposite sex on the back of their door.

44) Teens are always confronted by their lover/crush/friend the EXACT moment they open their locker.

45) Someone always falls with their tray in the cafeteria.

46) Asian nerds are portrayed as having big teeth and thick glasses with huge black rims and their hair style is a bowl cut.

47) Nerds always have to wear plaid, if not a pocket protector.

48) If you're in an anime (Japanese cartoon) movie, then your importance to the story will be determined by the strangeness of your hairstyle.

49) No matter how mysterious she is, no matter what she's said, no matter where she's from, you will always be willing to fight to the death to save the life of a woman you met 5 seconds ago.

50) If you're in a horror movie, never, EVER attend social parties. That's where you're gonna die.

51) The villain will not kill you when you are weak and at their mercy - this is because they are going to use you to do their evil will while making you think you're saving the world.

52) All ancient legends are true. All age-old stories are real. All prophecies will come true, almost immediately.

53) No need to dial - if there's a phone nearby, simply pick it up and start talking.

54) In all movies, the person riding the cab always reaches into their wallet without looking and pulls out the EXACT fare for the ride.

55) In scary movies, some girl ALWAYS has to trip while running away from the murderer despite how flat the ground may be.

56) Whenever two men are struggling, and a woman is present, the bad guy will drop a gun during the fight. The woman will then proceed to pick up the gun, but not walk over and threaten the villain who has her lover (the hero) in a choke hold.

57) During breakfast when everyone is rushing around to get ready. The dad regardless of profession, wears a suit and tie, carries his jacket and can't find his keys.

58) If a character is awakened by a radio alarm, it is perfectly timed to when the DJ is saying something like "Rise and shine! It's gonna be a beautiful day here in LA..."

The history of Diwali is replete with legends and these legends are moored to the stories of Hindu religious scriptures, mostly the Puranas. Though the central theme of all legends point out to the classic truth of the victory of the good over the evils, the mode of their presentation and the characters differ. Diwali, being the festival of lights, lighting the lamp of knowledge within us means to understand and reflect upon the significant purpose of each of the five days of festivities and to bring those thoughts in to the day to day lives.

 The five day of Diwali
The first day of Diwali is called Dhanvantari Triodasi or Dhanwantari Triodasi also called Dhan Theras. The second day of Diwali is called Narak Chaturdasi. It is the fourteenth lunar day (thithi) of the dark forthnight of the month of Kartik and the eve of Diwali. On this day Lord Krishna destroyed the demon Narakasur and made the world free from fear. The third day of Diwali is the actual Diwali. This is the day when worship for Mother Lakshmi is performed. On the fourth day of Diwali, Goverdhan Pooja is performed. The fifth day of the diwali is called Bhratri Dooj. It is a day dedicated to sisters.

Hindu Mythology
The Story of Rama and Sita: Lord Rama was a great warrior King who was exiled by his father Dashratha, the King of Ayodhya, along with his wife Sita and his younger brother Lakshman, on his wife's insistence. Lord Rama returned to his Kingdom Ayodhya after 14 years of exile, in which he put an end to the demon Ravana of Lanka, who was a great Pundit, highly learned but still evil dominated his mind. After this victory of Good over Evil, Rama returned to Ayodhya. In Ayodhya, the people welcomed them by lighting rows of clay lamps. So, it is an occasion in honor of Rama's victory over Ravana; of Truth's victory over Evil.

The Story of King Bali and Vamana Avatar(the Dwarf): The other story concerns King Bali, who was a generous ruler. But he was also very ambitious. Some of the Gods pleaded Vishnu to check King Bali's power. Vishnu came to earth in the form of a Vamana(dwarf) dressed as priest. The dwarf approached King Bali and said "You are the ruler of the three worlds: the Earth, the world above the skies and the underworld. Would you give me the space that I could cover with three strides?" King Bali laughed. Surely a dwarf could not cover much ground, thought the King, who agreed to dwarf's request. At this point, the dwarf changed into Vishnu and his three strides covered the Earth, the Skies and the whole Universe! King Bali was send to the underworld. As part of Diwali celebrations, some Hindus remember King Bali.

The Defeat of Narkasur by Lord Krishna: Lord Vishnu in his 8th incarnation as Krishna destroyed the demon Narkasura, who was causing great unhappiness amongst the people of the world. Narkasura was believed to be a demon of filth, covered in dirt. He used to kidnap beautiful young women and force them to live with him. Eventually, their cries for rescue were heard by Vishnu, who came in the form of Krishna. First, Krishna had to fight with a five-headed monster who guarded the demon's home. Narkasura hoped that his death might bring joy to others. Krishna granted his request and the women were freed. For Hindus, this story is a reminder that good can still come out of evil.

Krishna and The Mountain: In the village of Gokula, many years ago, the people prayed to the God Indra. They believed that Indra sent the rains, which made their crops, grow. But Krishna came along and persuaded the people to worship the mountain Govardhan, because the mountain and the land around it were fertile. This did not please Indra. He sent thunder and torrential rain down on the village. The people cried to Krishna to help. Krishna saved the villagers by lifting the top of the mountain with his finger. The offering of food to God on this day of Diwali is a reminder to Hindus of the importance of food and it is a time for being thankful to God for the bounty of nature.

When she hears a noise of someone inside the house, she decides to run up the stairs rather than out the front door where she can actually get away.

Dear John: I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?

The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or funny.

Phone Company Gives Something for Nothing

Dear Ann,

I think I can top the person who wrote complaining about the idiocy of the phone company. Talk about garbage in, garbage out!

When AT&T split with Bell, we had three phones in our house. The equipment belonged to Ma Bell and the service belonged to AT&T. After we returned all the phone equipment to Ma Bell, we received a bill for $0.00. A few weeks later, we received a check for $5 and a note thanking us. Several months later, we received another computerized bill for $0.00. We called again, got nowhere, so we sent another check for $0.00. A few weeks later we received another $5 refund with the same thank you.

This went on every three months for two years. Now we are down to once a year and have given up trying to straighten this out. We just cash the $5 and forget about it.

-- Linda K. R. in California

Google is buying video-sharing website YouTube for $1.65bn (£883m) in shares after a weekend of speculation that a deal was in the offing.

 The two companies will continue to operate independently, Google said as it announced the news on Monday.

YouTube, launched in February 2005, has grown quickly into one of the most popular websites on the internet.

It has 100 million videos viewed every day and an estimated 72 million individual visitors each month.

"The YouTube team has built an exciting and powerful media platform that complements Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," Google chief executive Eric Schmidt said in a statement.

He said the two companies were "natural partners" to offer a media entertainment service to users, content owners and advertisers.

Mr Schmidt also told investors that YouTube will be "one of many investments" Google plans to make in the video field.

However, the company will keep operating its own Google Video as a separate operation.

YouTube will retain its brand, and its 67 staff, including co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, will keep their jobs.

"Our community has played a vital role in changing the way that people consume media, creating a new clip culture," said Mr Hurley.

"By joining forces with Google, we can benefit from its global reach and technology leadership to deliver a more comprehensive entertainment experience for our users and to create new opportunities for our partners."

According to Comscore World Metrix, YouTube's audience has soared from 2.8 million unique users one year ago to 72 million users in August 2006.

Security was tight around a spacious bungalow in the Pune suburb of Aundh, chosen because the area resembles Karachi, Pakistan, where Pearl and his wife Mariane spent time.

Jolie plays Mariane Pearl in the film, A Mighty Heart, and Dan Futterman portrays Daniel Pearl. Both were involved in Monday's shoot, said a set manager who did not want to be named for fear of losing his job.

A street sign outside the bungalow has been changed to "Zamzama Fourth Street", and the height of boundary walls of adjoining cottages has been raised to replicate the area Pearl and his wife stayed in Karachi before Pearl's abduction.

The Wall Street Journal reporter was abducted and murdered in Pakistan in 2002 while researching a story on Islamic militancy.

Pune is about 160 kilometres south of Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment hub.

Television reporters, photographers and journalists have been camped outside the Pune hotel where the couple are staying and the bungalow since the stars arrived in India late last week.

Pictures of Pitt and Jolie with their son Maddox in an autorickshaw made the front page of India's national newspapers on Monday.

Their 20-minute ride in the three-wheeler rickshaw took them past shops and department stores in downtown Pune.

The couple are in India with Maddox, five, Zahara, 18 months, and four-month-old Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.

The movie is based on an adaptation of Mariane Pearl's book, A Mighty Heart: The Brave Life and Death of My Husband Danny Pearl, and will be co-produced by Plan B, a production company founded by Pitt and his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Aniston.

Sony does not expect to cut the U.S. price of its PSP handheld game system for the rest of 2006, and the number of available games will nearly double to about 230 in that time.

Sony introduced the PSP, or PlayStation Portable, in 2005 in a bundled package that included several accessories and has sold some 5.5 million units in the United States. Currently it sells the device for $200 without some original add-ons, as well as a $250 package including the device, a movie and a memory card.

"We don't necessarily see the need to cut the price," John Koller, a product manager at Sony Computer Entertainment, told Reuters. "We need to offer broader value and introduce new consumers to what the PSP can do."

PSP -- which offers interactive video games, digital music and video and lets users surf the Web -- faces a tough challenge in the market for pocket-sized media devices such as Nintendo's DS and Apple Computer Inc.'s.

Critics have suggested a dearth of compelling games has hurt demand.But Koller says there will be about 110 new titles available by the end of 2006, bringing the roster to about 230. Moreover, Koller added that since the PSP is a diverse system, with the ability to play games, download video and enjoy media, its does not compare directly to the other handheld systems.

He added that Sony would soon detail how the PSP would integrate with Sony's highly anticipated next-generation game console, the PlayStation 3, which is due in November
