Kasun Kalhara - Sanda Ona

Heard this song the other day and i immediately realized only one can sing a song of this nature and voice. So i search for Masha and later found out its actually called sanda ona and thought might as well share it because lets face it everyone's searching for it on the internet and chances of actually going and buying it is almost zero. Follow the link after the break.

The history of the middle finger...

I never knew this before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope
that they, too, will feel edified. Isn't history more fun when you know something about it? Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as 'plucking the yew' (or 'pluck yew'). Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since 'pluck yew' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F', and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as 'giving the bird.'
IT IS STILL AN APPROPRIATE SALUTE TO THE FRENCH TODAY!

And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now

I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Ohh---

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

" I thought we were invincible. But now I know that the things that people in love do to each other, they remember. And if they stay together, it's not because they forget. It's because they forgive. "

Stop Yelling At Sony To Cut The Price Of The PS3

The mainstream media is even getting into the game (forgive the bad pun), as everyone is screaming at Sony to drop the price or "sacrifice the console war" here and now. Oh yes, that makes a gigantic amount of sense. Don't ever give the media - it pains me that I'm part of it right now - too much credit, whatever you do. Don't expect them to view the bigger picture, as Sony has been doing ever since they entered the video game console market almost 15 years ago. Right, with around 28 million Xbox 360s and around 24 million PS3s out there (those numbers are only estimates based on recent findings), the PS3 is just getting "blown out of the water," especially after launching over a year later and always having the more expensive system. The PlayStation Network, which is still free, continues to make giant strides and in my humble opinion, is currently outstripping Xbox Live. Read that article in full, by the way, before making any rash assumptions.

Sony says there are 25 million active PSN accounts, and just about everyone agrees that Sony's exclusive lineup for the PS3 easily trumps that of the 360. Feel free to look up the titles on tap for the upcoming 12 months; I'm tired of doing it, if you want to know the honest-to-goodness truth. It's so painfully obvious, I'm not going to bother anymore; if you can't figure it out for yourself, you have your own biases to deal with. But the point is this: I believe most will agree that the PS3 really didn't come into its own until 2008, and let's not forget what the sales numbers and software lineup was like in 2007. Therefore, in about two years time, with the most expensive console on the market, even in a freakin' recession, the PS3 has somehow managed to - shock of shocks - not die. In fact, it has only managed to close the gap, which it will likely continue to do. Of course, it will remain behind the 360 for longer if Sony doesn't drop the price, but what are we really talking about here? A difference of 4-5 million units? That's the catalyst for this sudden outpouring of anxiety-ridden pleas?

You know, it's almost as if the Sony haters found something negative to latch onto and are once again trying to make something out of nothing. They had plenty of ammunition for the first year of the PS3's existence - let's face up to facts - but as each drawback began to disappear and people started to have difficulty locating bullets, the naysayers ran and hid. They never go far, though. No, they hide behind a tree, peeking around the corner and waiting for another piece of rubbish to float down the river. Then they'll jump on it and gleefully proclaim it came from Sony, and "something must be done." Right. Fine. You keep doing that. Sony will drop the price of the PS3 at some point, so just stop worrying, and in the meantime, let's actually examine the current situation for what it is. Hell, at this point, I think people might actually pay the old $600 just for a shot at playing God of War III.

...look closely at that last sentence. It's only one example of many I could make, and so could you.

Error During Sql Execution (DA0003) >> Exception Cs: Job Already In Use



For a while i've been getting this error on BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence (deski) and finally i found a solution. So thought of sharing it because lot of people seem to have faced this issue.

http://www.upenn.edu/computing/da/bo/busobjtips.html



these are some of the links which discuss about the same issue but none of these suggestions were able to resolve the problem.



In my case BO is trying to access data from an Oracle database and i've several version installed for various applications and all of those share the same TNS name file.



For some reason this seems to be creating the issue. The solution is to keep the TNS entry needed for BO to access the database on the correct client copy ONLY.



Remove the same entry been used on other instances / client versions installed; my assumption is it conflicts and tries to access from both.

6 a.m. Christmas morning.
No shadows,
No reflections here.
Lying cheek to cheek
In your cold embrace.

So soft and so tragic
As a slaughterhouse.
You press the knife
Against your heart.
And say,
"I love you, so much you must kill me now."

I love you
So much
You must kill me now.

If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We'll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.

Digging your smile apart
With my spade tongue.
The hole is where the heart is.
We built this tomb together,
And I won't fill it alone.
Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.

If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We'll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.

Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart,
This is where it starts...
Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart,
This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.

6:19 and I know I'm ready
Drive me off the mountain.
You'll burn,
I'll eat your ashes.
The impossible wheels seducing
Our corpse.

If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We'll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.

Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.
Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.

This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.

This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.

Here comes the moon again.
Here comes the moon again.
Here comes the moon again.

E lucevan le stelle

E lucevan le stelle,
ed olezzava la terra
stridea l'uscio dell'orto
e un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella fragrante,
mi cadea fra la braccia.

O dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr'io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore.
L'ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato!
e muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
tanto la vita!

Have you forgotten the fallen hero...?

Not everything goes right even for the mightiest

Well this isn't about a day-to-day happening, its about the world's fastest selling next generation gaming console. Surprised start continued to grow each month and now closing on to break record sales of other consoles. While making other console manufactures life more miserable Nintendo decided to introduce something which others never even dreamed of; whats that?

See, all this time parents had one choice whether to buy a gaming console for their kids or not, but things have changed now its that plus an exercise machine for them. although, the idea was highly innovative as their motion sensing controller; apparently its useless.

In fact it burns lesser amount of calories than a typical Xbox 360, thought it sounds weird because Wii requires people to actually make movements, turns out that it burns only around 60 calories after playing more than an hour. which can easily be gained by having a quarter of a candy bar ... Sigh

Merry Christmas ...!

Hill 192

"Hill 192 had given the enemy a good view of the Normandy countryside and orchards away towards St. Lo. Even the invasion ships riding at anchor twenty-five miles away on Omaha Beach could be seen. Only twenty-five miles from where I had first come ashore on French soil, yet it seemed so much further in a weary, soul searching way. Long hours of heavy mental and physical strain, the earsplitting noise and smoke of battle, the death of close friends, the pain of one's own wounds, the hunger and privation a soldier endures, brings about a different state of mind. I had never gone to church much, but I believed in God, and prayed most of the time. "God, just let me live one more day. Let me keep my head-- let me out-think the enemy." And every night I begged His forgiveness for that day's transgressions. I always waited for whatever it was that guided me in close-in fighting. Many, many times I'd sit crouched, gritting my teeth, waiting for the message to move."
