Why Saddam was Executed....

Today I believe that I know the reason why Saddam was executed, I know this for a fact and no one can argue with it. The reason is that his lawyers were dumb, this theory of mine is strongly supported by evidence, a video, to be exact, of Saddam's lawyer Khalil Al-Dulaimi talking on the LBC claiming that Saddams picture appeared on the moon the same day he was executed. He's so convinced that its true and therefore claims that for this phenomenon to appear it proves to the world that Saddam was an angel and he ruled with justice. I'm not going to talk about Saddam or his actions that led us to the edge of civil war, I just wanna say that most Iraqis believed in this photoshop illusion, its because the low education Iraqis have been given during Saddam's era and the lower one their getting nowadays. Save the Iraqis please, this is not a call for the government only, this is a call for the world to save our nation from illiteracy and ignorance thats been eating most iraqi minds for years and will continue for years to come. Now, the claim of seeing images of dead people on the moon is not new, it also happened when Abdulkarim Kasim, a former Iraqi president, was killed and they also claimed that they've seen his picture on the moon in the same way that Saddam's. I just want to add one thing, for an image this big to appear on the moon for real, the moon has to change its topography should change entirely. It would take centuries to make the moon change its form even millenniums and its physically impossible for the change to happen within an hour.

This is a short clip from the interview of Khalil Aldulaimi, for the people out there who doesn't understand arabic, he's just showing the audience the picture of Saddam's "SMILING" face on the moon, he's also saying something about people gathered around him celebrating. Why they are celebrating I donno.



Here is the picture shown in the movie with Saddams smiling face appearing on it, don't see the celebrating people though.

A fine photoshop trick, very well done. The merged photo looks familiar too, think it's a popular Saddam photo.

Death Note, Death Note, Death Note

The anime isn't over yet but its getting better, just when you think that its gonna end, it starts again. Wow, only if a shinigami drops his death note for me to pick it up, but I guess I should keep on dreaming. Now I'll start watching the first Death Note movie, I didn't want to watch it at first because I thought it might contain spoilers, since the anime has not finished yet but after a thorough search on the net I found where it ends, I've started downloading the first movie and hopefully will download the second after the anime ends. I leave with the trailer of the first movie.

Cheer Up!!

My last post was kinda sad and maybe had some bad news, I don't want things to go this way but they're on the go already. Anyways, enough talking about politics, wars and stuff like these for today I've found something ground breaking. Errrrgh, may not so ground breaking for some but it sure is something to cheer you up. Today we're going to download videos from you tube, yes download as in have em stored on your computer. There are two ways to do this, either the easy way or the easier way. Lets start with the easy way as all bad news should come first ^_^.
For this you're gonna need Firefox and I wont talk about Firefox coz by now everybody should know what Firefox is. Anyways, go to Mozilla.com and download Firefox, thats if you're still using IE, eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww. After, you download and install Firefox go to the add-ons section in the Mozilla website and search for video downloader, click on video downloader the one with the info about downloading from youtube, google video and more, download the add-on and restart Firefox. You will notice a small icon in the lower right hand side of the Firefox window and there is your prize go to Youtube and download the video of your choice by simply clicking the VideoDownloader icon. Two drawbacks, one is the fact that your "Download" won't start until the movie streaming is finished and I quoted Download for the fact that this program doesn't download anything it just takes the video file that is already stored in your temperory internet files and gives ya the option to save it in a folder in your computer. The other drawback is that the files are in FLV format which is an acronym for Flash Videos, you're gonna need an open source player to run the files I usually use VLC media player, Media Player classic works too.

As I said earlier there is an even EASIER way to download from you tube, just go to VIXY.NET there you don't just get the option to download your video, it also converts the video to popular format AVI, MP4, MOV,3GP and mp3. It works with many other sites, the same video streaming sites that are listed in Video Downloader.

My job here is done I should go to sleep and pray that there won't be a war tomorrow, Ooops, I did it again.

New War Ahead

Ok, here we go again, the same shit that happened back in 1990 and 2003 is happening now with only one difference, a new player has entered the game. Of course you know what I'm talking about, the same old cat and mouse game that the US has been playing with Iraq for over a decade is back, this time with Iran. Same shit over and over again, its getting sick, yesterday the US were maneuvering in the Persian Gulf, today the Iranian government used the same old method that Saddam used, showing the British prisoners on TV.

Was that a wise action? I don't think so, man they've even pushed it far this time by trying to make the British Government admit that the prisoners were caught in Iranian territorial waters. Its like ordering someone to kneel before you. Not an act of wisdom and surly they haven't learned anything from Saddam's mistake. Don't know what the next days are hiding for us, maybe a third world war, maybe they are just bluffing.

It wont be surprised if i wake tomorrow, turn the TV on and find that the US has attacked Iran's nuclear facilities. It's Bush, and you all know who George W. Bush is. A nut case, he'll do anything. Some of you may think that he wont do it since his days will be over soon, I don't think he cares, maybe he'll attack Iran just to give the finger to the new government to come.

Its all seems connected, the congress votes for returning the US troops back home. The very next day we see US troops maneuvering in the Persian Gulf, the day after Iran shows footage of the British soldiers and a rumor that Iran attacked a US ship or something. Today it might be a rumor but there are no guarantees for tomorrow. The Iranians are sick G. W. Bush is a psycho and Iraq will suffer and I mean suffer real bad.

Maybe nothing will happen, maybe I'm not sleeping very well these days, or maybe it's the way my sick brain is thinking. I want to sound optimistic but the odds are against me.

Pale Cocoon...

What if the chaotic world we're living in is just the dream of every child in the future. What if all the green in the world will be replaced with rust, filth and dirt.

Pale Cocoon is a master piece created produced and directed by Yoshiura Yasuhiro, it tells the story of Ura an employee in the Record Excavation Bureau, a futuristic organization that is trying to collect and recover records left from the old world, the world that we now live in. One day Ura finds a strange record and tries to recover it with the aid of Riko a friend of him.

There isn't anything else to be said for it might be counted as spoilers. The OVA is 22 minutes long and its just one episode. The animation and drawing is brilliant, I've seen nothing like it. The design of the future world where people live in underground layers, since the sky is gone, is amazingly crafted with ghostly flares that make it look real. The story line is not linear, it moves briskly and might catch you off guard from the first view. This anime would appeal to most science fiction fans that are more into science fiction mystery than space wars and aliens.

Name: Pale Cocoon

The Ultimate Guide of Finding your Anime.

Since there is nothing much going in my life and there ain't no new subjects to talk about for the Iraqi situation remained the same since Baghdad Security plan was declared. Same bombings and killings day after day which keeps ya wonder if they ever get sick or if one day all the blood shedding will stop. Back to topic and as the title implies I will give you readers hints about how to download Anime and more important how to find them. The following holds the steps I took until I could find every anime on the planet.

The first step was getting a fast internet connection, I mean who would want to download big files with a 2-3KBps bandwidth, not me.
Afterwards I began my search of anime and movies, where to find them, how to get them and calculate the time it takes to download them. First I went to General Forums, Forums that talks about everything, I started searching for my media and I got a lot of torrent references for movies, I wanted to try it so I downloaded BitTorrent, a torrent download manager that's so lame and weak. At first I thought this was my only choice of downloading torrents "Go with the flow!" thats what I said to my self, if everyone is using it why don't I use it too. Turned out I was one of the few that were using this stupid software, I found many other torrent download managers in a site refered to my by one of my friends, here is the link. Anyways, I've downloaded the Bit Comet download manager and my god was I amazed. Instead of the small black download window that Bit Torrent had I now have a fully featured interface, even a web browser embedded in it.

At that time I was in heaven or at least I thought I was, I searched the forums for torrents download the torrent files and then download the whole file. Unfortunately I was wrong, it turned out to be that most of these torrents were considered dead since nobody is uploading them any more. I did not know anything about seeders and leachers and how to tell if there is anybody uploading the file so at that time I thought that I have the same problem I had with other file sharing programs like Emule, they were slow and stop downloading after a while.

I had to search for another source, I started searching for anime forums that give ya a DDL link to animes. Fortunately I found them, unfortunately though they used file sharing sites, like Rapid Share and Mega Upload which are slow and sometimes your download stop in the middle and since they don't support resume only to those who pay, the only way to complete your download is to start it from the beginning. Those were the dark days of my life, I still remember staying up all night waiting for the download to finish and hoping it wont stop 2MBs before it ends.

Using this method I've downloaded a couple of movies like "Street Fighter Alpha" and "Detective Conan Movie 9", all were in real media format and showed a really poor video and/or audio quality. Being all depressed and all I thought I should give the torrents another shot so I re-installed Bit Comet. When the application started I got a message asking me to upgrade to the latest version of Bit Comet and so I did. The new program window almost looked the same except for a little small list on the left side of the window that made me jump up and down on my chair with tears of joy streaming down my eyes. The list held links to some of the top torrent sites in the world, web sites like Demonoid, Torrent Reactor, Torrent Spy, Torrent Portal and W Torrent.

A new era has started, I didn't waste any second, in a couple of minutes I began downloading and anime that is called Ayakashi. It was fast and it took only a couple of hours. When I started watching it, at the very beginning they referred to a web page something called Anime Suki. I didn't bother since I now know where to get my merchandise from for free. I've reached episode 3 of the show and to my surprise as there wasn't any episode 4 in the torrent sharing site. I've waited for two weeks and still there wasn't no torrents for me, I've searched all the other sites that were listed in Bit Comet and couldn't find it. I remembered the URL in the show so I decided to check it out and see what is it. OMG, these were the words that came up to my mind as the page started showing, I was in heaven, at that time I really was, no words could describe my feelings, I found my lost episodes of Ayakashi and started to download them one by one. It was the worst anime I ever saw, the first episodes were great, the last eight were a disaster. I said to my self "Whatever, just get another one", "Why don't I search for Trigun", So I did.

Another disappointment, it turns out that due to federal laws and to be kid of legit, the site does not sub or distribute any anime that has been licensed in the US. In other words "If you are looking for good animes don't enter the site". Hmmm, could this be the end of my journey, only average rated material. I don't think so. This site has opened my eyes, it made me see through a new dimension, the dimension of fan subs and groups. So the hunting began.

I've typed Trigun on every single search bar in the WWW until I found the site of my dreams the ultimate one. ANIME DB .

What this anime encyclopedia gives you is nothing compared with somewhat similar sited like ANN. Instead of just news and trivia about animes, it also have a data base for free fan subs. The data base contains IRC channels, URLs and information regarding every fan sub on the planet. If you search about an anime you get the fan subs that are subbing the anime and a link to their IRC channel and/or a link to their web page.

Now one may wonder which fan sub do I get my download from? My answer to that question is simple, either you find a new fan sub that has just started or get your files from a group that's not subbing many animes. Why? So you won't wait for a long time till they finish it.

A risk involved in each type of fan subs mentioned above. For the first type "the new ones" there is a risk that the group might stop subbing due to financial issues. As for the "groups with minimum active projects", some times they start with few projects and in the middle of the road they end up subbing a wide number of shows, a number that they could not handle so they might drop the show you're watching or it might even get stalled.

Now that you know how to find your anime, I leave you to your search and may god bless your souls.
