The film takes place in Coolsville, Ohio and begins as the cast is introduced on the Coolsville High bus. As Shaggy walks down the aisle, one of the school's jocks trips him. Fred, sitting next to him, asks him why he does it everyday. Shaggy tries sitting next to Velma, but he gets up when he can't understand what she's saying when she begins explaining her science fair project to him. He eventually sits next to Daphne, who goes to sit with Velma when she's grossed out by his Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Sardine sandwich. At school, Shaggy's trouble trying to get his locker door open results in him falling in a trashcan and ends up rolling into the Principal's office, who suggests that he try to find friends and that in the meantime, he should take up a hobby like his, stamp collecting.

Meanwhile, the Great Dane dog named Scoobert, has been put up for adoption repeatedly at the monthly Pet Adoption fair, but never met with success. One night, as he is wandering through a graveyard, a lightning strike resurrects a pair of ghosts named Ezekiel Gallows & Prudence Prufrock from their tombstones @ the Cementry. This frightens him, causing him to dash across town. He leaps into the first house he can find, which turns out to be Shaggy's. They instantly become great friends, and Shaggy nicknames the dog "Scooby".

Shaggy attempts to smuggle Scooby to school disguised as a kid, however, when the jock trips Shaggy in the aisle, Scooby becomes angry and attacks him, causing a chain reaction that results in Shaggy, Fred, Velma, and Daphne getting involved in a fight. Distracted by the commotion, the bus driver accidentally crashes into the school's flagpole, knocking it over and smashing into the windshield of the vice principal's new car, causing Fred, Shaggy, Daphne, and Velma to have 6 weeks detention in the library starting during the pep rally.

As the four are in detention, they discover they share an interest in mystery stories. Suddenly, the lights go out and the air gets cold, then a book lands on the table the four are sitting at. Out of the book rises the same two ghosts that Scooby saw in the cemetery. The ghosts chase them into the gym during the pep rally and a third mysterious ghost appears, telling everyone to leave at once. All the students run out of the building while the principal decides to close the school, but the vice principal deems the incident a prank caused by the gang for being put in detention, so he changes the charge of detention to suspension.

Knowing that they need to find the ghosts in order to prove their innocence, the gang follow Scooby to the cemetery where he first saw them. There, they discover the tombstones that they rose out of. After researching, Velma determines that the ghosts were the founding faculty of the original school. The two were about to bury a time capsule when the Coolsville flood occurred, taking their lives and destroying the school their new school is built on top of.

Deciding to investigate further, they agree to explore the school at nighttime to find more clues. Wanting to get rid of them, the third mysterious ghost orders the other two to scare them away. They possess a pair of football player mannequins and follow the gang to the gym, where the gang discovers a strange substance where the third ghost was floating. Before they investigate further, they discover the possessed football dummies. Fred fights one of them off while Velma and Daphne escape, leaving Shaggy and Scooby locked up in a freezer. They are freed the next day by Vice Principal Grimes, who believes them to be involved with the events of the previous night, including an explosion and other vandalism. He decides to completely expel the gang from the school.

Daphne gives Velma a makeover as a disguise, as the rest of the gang dresses up as new students so they can return to Coolsville High School to investigate further. The librarian and janitor are the gang's prime suspects, as they have both expressed displeasure with their jobs. Both of them appear to not be involved with the incidents, however. They move on the the vice principal as their suspect by searching his house, but they need a way to get there. Daphne offers her old van to the gang as a mode of transportation, which Velma says "is a mystery [it] machine even runs", and along with Velma's paint deco, becomes the Mystery Inc Machine.

At the vice principal's house, the gang are met once again by the same ghosts, who attempt to drive the teens away from the house. Velma, Fred, and Daphne discover articles in the upstairs section of the house that serves as evidence to disprove their involvement in the recent happenings. The articles tell of a time capsule buried underneath the school. The teens are then drugged by an unknown person and are brought to the school gym, where it is revealed that the vice principal is also a victim of the ghosts. A mysterious man, who has kidnapped Scooby & Vice Principal Grimes, forces the gang to search for the time capsule.

Once underground, the gang tricks the mysterious man into coming down to take a look at something. They attack the man and subdue him, only to have him be freed a second later by a large wall of water that was previously concealed behind a door. The man finds the time capsule, but the gang steal the capsule, and a book of spells, and run away. They are chased by the original pair of ghosts, as a legion of apparitions is unleashed on Coolsville. Shaggy recites one of the book's spells, causing all of the ghosts to disappear. The gang overpowers the mysterious man, who is revealed to be Principal Deedle of the school. The principal reveals that a stamp misprint was hidden within the time capsule, something that would have been worth a fortune. The gang turns the principal in, and are hailed as heroes of the high school by everyone the next day, including the vice principal, who personally apologizes to them for wrongly accusing them and expelling them. Shaggy cites the great new friendship of the gang as their key point to success, and the old time capsule is buried once again.

In the final scene, Velma tells the gang about "strange goings-on" at the museum she heard about, and they all agree to get on the case once again. As the credits begin, the gang reprises the opening intro to Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! while the theme from What's New, Scooby-Doo? is playing.

Monsters Vs Aliens English Movie Review, Photos & Wallpapers

Starring:Reese Witherspoon,Seth Rogen,Hugh Laurie,Will Arnett,Rainn Wilson,Kiefer Sutherland,Stephen Colbert,
Music by Henry Jackman
Directed by Conrad Vernon,Rob Letterman
Produced by Lisa Stewart
Co-producers:Jill Hopper,Latifa Ouaou
Written by Maya Forbes,Wallace Wolodarsky,Rob Letterman,Jonathan Aibel,Glenn Berger,Conrad Vernon
Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is hit by a meteorite on the day of her wedding to weatherman Derek Dietl (Paul Rudd), absorbing a substance called quantonium and growing into a giant. Alerted to the meteorite crash, the military arrive and capture Susan. She is labeled a monster, renamed "Ginormica" by the government, and sent to a top-secret prison facility headed by General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) and containing other monsters: B.O.B. (Seth Rogen), a brainless, indestructible gelatinous blob; Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. (Hugh Laurie), a mad scientist with the head and abilities of a cockroach; the Missing Link (Will Arnett), an amphibious fish-ape hybrid; and Insectosaurus, a colossal grub that is even larger than Susan. The monsters are forbidden to have any contact with the outside world; while the other monsters have been living contentedly with this lifestyle for the past 50 years, Susan feels incredibly isolated and wishes to return to her old life.

An alien named Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson) detects the quantonium radiation emanating from Earth and deploys a gigantic robotic probe to find it and extract it from its source, Susan. After a botched attempt by the President of the United States (Stephen Colbert) to make first contact with the robot, it begins destroying everything in sight, resisting all conventional military force used against it. General Monger convinces the President to use the monsters to fight the robot instead. The monsters accept the mission with the promise of freedom if they succeed. Arriving in San Francisco, Susan is chased by the robot across the city to the Golden Gate Bridge, where the monsters are able to defeat the robot, Susan and Insectosaurus keeping it occupied while Dr. Cockroach sabotages it from inside and B.O.B. clears a path for the cars to evacuate (The Missing Link having been knocked out during the fight).

Now free, Susan returns to her hometown and introduces her family and friends to the monsters, who are quickly rejected after innocently causing a panicked ruckus in the neighborhood. Derek, meanwhile, breaks up with Susan, claiming that he can't be married to someone who could overshadow his career. Initially devastated, Susan realizes that becoming a monster has improved her life, and fully embraces her new friends and lifestyle. Suddenly, she is abducted by Gallaxhar, who apparently kills Insectosaurus when he tries to save her. On Gallaxhar's spaceship, Susan breaks loose and chases Gallaxhar down, only to enter a machine that extracts the quantonium from her body, shrinking her to her normal size. Gallaxhar proceeds to use the quantonium to power a machine which clones him into an army so he can invade Earth.

With assistance from General Monger, B.O.B., Dr. Cockroach, and the Missing Link infiltrate Gallaxhar's spaceship, rescue Susan, and hot-wire the spaceship's power core, activating the spaceship's self-destruct sequence. However, during their escape attempt, Susan is cut off from her friends, who are trapped in the power core and tell her to save herself. Instead, Susan confronts Gallaxhar, who tries to escape with the quantonium, and attempts to force him into releasing her friends. When Gallaxhar says he cannot reverse the sequence, Susan takes the quantonium back and absorbs it, restoring her to her gargantuan size and allowing her to save her friends. The monsters leap out of the exploding spaceship and are rescued by General Monger on the back of the revived Insectosaurus, who had sealed his body in a cocoon and transformed into a giant butterfly.

The monsters receive a hero's welcome upon their return. Derek attempts to get back with Susan for the sake of interviewing her, which could benefit his career; instead, Susan rejects him and forces him to endure the humiliation of being thrown into the air and caught, swallowed and spit out by B.O.B. on camera. At that moment, the monsters are alerted to a monster attack near Paris and fly off to combat the new menace.

Resident Evil 5 Pc Game Review,

Thirteen years ago, Capcom helped revolutionize the action adventure world with Resident Evil, a game that would define an entirely new genre dubbed "survival horror." In the years that followed, the series continued to build upon the standards set by the first game, Then, in 2005, Resident Evil 4 radically departed from its predecessors and broke new ground as a more action-oriented game. Resident Evil 5, the latest offering in the long-running series, expands on the action-heavy formula of its forerunner and is built from the ground up to support cooperative gameplay. Though it can no longer be considered a survival horror game, Resident Evil 5 manages to retain and effectively translate the most important aspect of that genre--tension--into its new mechanics. It crafts a fun, collaborative experience that will keep you on your toes the entire time.
Ten years after the destruction of Raccoon City, former S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team member Chris Redfield is an agent of the B.S.A.A. This paramilitary anti-bio-organic weapons organization travels the globe to seek out and destroy Umbrella Corporation's creations, which have fallen into the hands of terrorists following the collapse of the multinational pharmaceutical company. When Chris gets a tip that a known weapons dealer will be making a big deal in the remote African nation of Kijuju, he heads there to put a stop to it and learn what he can about the mysterious doomsday project known only as Uroboros. Chris is joined by Sheva Alomar, a local B.S.A.A. agent, and together they battle wave after wave of infected villagers, horribly mutated monsters, and even series archnemesis, Albert Wesker.

The core combat mechanics haven't fundamentally changed since Resident Evil 4. The action still unfolds from an over-the-shoulder perspective, certain battles or cutscenes are accompanied by brief quick-time events, and you still have to stop moving to fire your weapon (though you gain a bit more mobility thanks to your newfound ability to walk sideways). Resident Evil 5's slow movement and gunplay take some time to get used to, and folks expecting a run-and-gun game may find the action too sluggish for their tastes. Fortunately, this slowness isn't really an issue within the game, because enemies are deliberate with their attacks and are better handled with a cool head and steady aim. Though the Xbox 360 controller is fully supported, the standard keyboard/mouse combo offers vastly superior aiming precision and control, which makes it by far the better option.

Regardless of how similar the combat in Resident Evil 5 is to its predecessor, the addition of a second character makes encounters feel quite different. Teamwork is necessary to take down more powerful enemies and bosses, and having someone to watch your back goes a long way toward keeping you alive. Furthermore, there have been radical changes made to the inventory management system. The immersion-breaking briefcase from the previous game is gone, and enemies no longer politely wait for you to rummage through your things because bringing up your armory doesn't pause the action. Each character can store up to nine items, and as long as you properly organize your inventory using the simple click-and-drag interface, all of your items are only a single keystroke away, which offers an unprecedented level of accessibility to your gear. It's often necessary to trade items with your partner, and keeping track of who has what at all times is crucial, especially during boss encounters.

Sheva's artificial intelligence makes her a competent companion, though her degree of skill seems to rely more on her armaments than anything else. She is extremely good at using burst fire with a machine gun, for example, but she tends to waste ammo when equipped with a handgun. That said, at no point does she feel like extra baggage that needs babysitting (unlike some of the series' previous companions), and she can hold her own in a fight. Sheva really shines when there's someone else controlling her. Resident Evil 5 supports online co-op play through Games for Windows Live, and exploring Kijuju with a friend greatly enhances both the experience and the fun factor. Every game has the potential to go multiplayer, since other online players can join in on a free-for-all or invite-only basis if your game session is set up to allow this from the get-go.

Despite these conveniences, there are some frustrating hurdles that need to be leaped over before a partner can begin playing. Co-op isn't drop-in, so if someone joins, gameplay is interrupted and immersion is broken to some degree because the player who joined has to sit on the sidelines until the host either restarts or continues on to the next checkpoint. Another major problem is that players' main inventories are isolated from one another, and though you can trade healing items and ammunition, weapons are off-limits for exchange, making some battles more difficult if you're playing with a partner who is not as well equipped as you.

Resident Evil 5 isn't a survival horror game, but that doesn't mean it hasn't learned a great deal from the genre. Tension is the central element of survival horror games, and in the past, tension has been conveyed by the gloomy settings, the sense of isolation, and the frustratingly clunky camera angles and controls. All RE5 does differently is convey this feeling through other outlets. Having a partner introduces new types of tension, because you're forced to rely on each other's support, find ways to manage both of your inventories during battles, and cover larger areas since enemies can appear from almost anywhere. Waves of enemies wax and wane with just the right frequency, and while the brightly lit environments make them less scary, they can be tough to deal with because they attack in large numbers and are smarter, faster, and stronger than their counterparts in previous games. Major encounters and boss fights are doled out with excellent pacing, and since you're never sure what to expect around the corner, you have to remain vigilant.

RE5 is one of the most visually stunning games available, and its huge variety of environments is meticulously detailed in every way. There are lots of large, open areas, and you'll constantly be on the move through them since there are usually so many enemies. In-game cutscenes are top-notch (though sometimes a bit over-the-top), and Chris and Sheva are incredibly well animated, especially their faces. If you happen to have the right collection of equipment, you can also take advantage of Nvidia's 3D Vision technology to experience Resident Evil 5 in stereoscopic 3D. The dialogue is often full of the trademark goofiness found in the series. The voice acting is competent, and when paired with the excellent facial expressions, it breathes a great deal of realism into the characters. Likewise, the fantastic orchestral soundtrack heightens the gameplay with everything from the low-key, ambient tracks that play during downtimes to the frantic, upbeat songs that accompany the massive boss battles.

On the first play-through, Resident Evil 5 lasts about 12 hours, which is considerably shorter than its predecessor. Once you're finished, though, there's still plenty to see and do. There are hidden B.S.A.A. badges scattered throughout most levels to find; you can strive to get better scores or times in each chapter to show off on the online leaderboards; and there are three initial difficulties available with a fourth unlockable. In-game points can be spent on collectible trophies of various characters and enemies, on additional costumes and graphics filters, and on special infinite-ammo versions of guns that you've fully upgraded. The Mercenaries minigame also returns in a format that is very similar to its last incarnation but with support for co-op. While it's disappointing that the Versus multiplayer mode available as downloadable content on the console releases is nowhere to be seen, a new PC-exclusive mode called No-Limit is included. No-Limit pits you against ridiculously huge mobs of enemies but is otherwise identical to the standard Mercenaries mode.

Resident Evil 5 successfully builds on the foundation of its predecessor while taking a drastically different direction. Having a partner introduces new degrees of gameplay depth and dramatic tension that make the game much more exciting to play. Though the slower, more deliberate movement and shooting may not appeal to everyone, this sequel's frequent large-scale battles and co-op play still offer a fun and exciting adventure.

Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan's romantic secrets revealed

How Abhi longed for her!
It was years ago. Standing alone on the balcony of a New York hotel, Abhishek Bachchan was seized with a desire to be with Aishwarya Rai and a wish to marry her. This candid recollection was shared by Abhishek himself on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show in which he and Ash appeared together.

“I was filming in New York for a movie…And I used to stand on the balcony of my hotel room and wish that, 'One day, wouldn't it be nice if I was together with her, married',” Abhishek revealed in a candid moment.

Abhishek’s wish was granted a few years later when he and Ash were in New York City for the premiere of their film Guru. Right after the premiere, Abhishek took her to the same balcony and popped the question.

“After the premiere, we were back in the hotel…So I took her to the very same balcony, and I asked her to marry me,” Abhishek disclosed even as Ash kept smiling sitting on the couch next to him.

The couple married in 2007 and started a new chapter of their life. Rather than living separately, they chose to live with Abhi’s parents Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.

Ash, who was dressed demurely in a sari for the show, told Oprah that living with in-laws is normal for Indian brides.

“It's normal…It's absolutely natural to us. … I lived with my parents before we got married, so it's a natural thing,” Ash said.

When quizzed about pregnancy, Ash recalled all the rumours.

“I have been proclaimed pregnant already a couple of times. I'm like, ‘Okay, is that a hint?’...People would be watching every little bulge, and I'm like, ‘Oh my God. If you're not in shape, you're pregnant’,” Ash giggled.

It was Ash’s second time on Oprah’s couch. The last time she appeared on the show, she made Oprah wear a sari.

It's playtime for Katrina Kaif & Akshay Kumar

Time to get sporty
After having paired together in many films, Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar are now teaming up for something entirely different. The buzz is that the two stars are going to endorse and promote the 34th National Games 2009, which will be held from November 21 to December 5 in Jharkhand.

According to sources, Akshay and Katrina will be promoting the games throughout India.

They will reportedly hold press conferences in New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata including other Indian cities to promote the games and encourage people to go and watch them. The idea is to promote the athletic sports that haven’t got much endorsement from celebrities yet.

Akki and Katrina will also be part of the publicity campaign of the games’ posters and billboards.

The two stars are reportedly being paid Rs 4 crores each for endorsing the games but there has not been any official confirmation of the amount by Akki or Kat.

Akshay has always been forthcoming in promoting various sports. He has given financial support to wrestling and done his bit to encourage it among Indian youth. He’s also been the face of the IPL team Delhi Daredevils while Katrina has promoted Bangalore Royal Challengers

Kareena Kapoor shops, Salman Khan pays!

He has touched many lives with his benevolent ways, helping many small time actors by taking them under his wing; Salman Khan is famous for his generosity and expensive gifts.

This time, however, his generosity had a different expression. It’s not common for Salman to pamper actresses and pay their hefty shopping bills, that too when she is not Katrina Kaif, his girl friend. It was for Bebo, Salman’s good friend and also co-star of his movie Main Aur Mrs Khanna, that the moody Khan loosened his purse strings.

When the unit of ‘Main Aur Mrs Khanna’ was shooting in Melbourne, the shopaholic Kareena used to end her day with shopping. But one fine day when Bebo wrapped up her shopping and went to pay the bill, she was left awestruck as her bill was already paid by Salman. In fact, according to sources, he even helped Kareena in carrying bags.

Not just that, Sallu gifted her a Rs 2.5 lakh worth limited edition handbag which can be seen in the movie, swinging on Bebo’s arm. About the incident, Bebo is quoted as saying, “Salman’s generosity cannot be matched. It was a very sweet gesture on his part. He is a wonderful person at heart.”

Having a good co-star pays off well!

Waugh, Akram among new ICC Hall of Fame inductees

Legendary Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram and former Australian skipper Steve Waugh were on Wednesday inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame along with three others.

Herbert Sutcliffe, Clarrie Grimmett and Victor Trumper, are the other three cricketers who were added, bringing the total number of players in that club to 60. The trio is no more.

"It is a great honour to be inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame and to see my name feature alongside such greats of the game including the likes of Don Bradman," Steve Waugh said.

India look listless and disinterested, says Wasim Akram

Akram said the induction is an acknowledgment of "decent" career.

"This honour is the perfect icing on the cake of a decent career. It is a great feeling to know your contribution and achievements in this fascinating sport are being acknowledged in such a way," he said.

Looking back, Akram said he would always cherish the matches played against India.

"Matches against India have always been the most memorable ones for me, especially our victory at Chennai in 1999 where more than 40,000 spectators gave us a standing ovation," he said.

Victor Trumper was the first Australian to score a triple century in England with 300 not out against Sussex at Hove.

Champions Trophy

In 1902, he became the first of only four players to score a century on the first morning of a Test match, making 103 not out before lunch against England at Old Trafford Englishman Herbert Sutcliffe has the fourth highest Test batting average of all time (of those players with 2,000 runs or more) with 60.73 in 54 Tests. The three players above him (Don Bradman, Graeme Pollock and George Headley) are already in the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

Australian Clarrie Grimmett averaged 5.83 wickets per Test ? 216 wickets from 37 matches. He is the only bowler in the history of the game to have taken more than 200 Test wickets in fewer than 40 Tests played. Grimmett reached 200 Test wickets in his 36th match.

We need to find a seamer who can bat: Dhoni

Johannesburg: Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni admitted his team made mistakes during the Champions Trophy in which they failed to reach the semi-finals.

They beat West Indies by seven wickets in their final match on Wednesday but finished only third in Group A after starting the tournament as one of the favourites.

India made a poor start when they lost to Pakistan by 54 runs and their second game against Australia was abandoned because of rain.

"We have made mistakes during this tournament. Our bowlers gave batsmen too much width and we can definitely put in more of an effort in the field," Dhoni told a news conference.

Loss to Pakistan hurt us: Dhoni

"We need to work on a few things and hopefully we will have time to fix those things before we play again," he added.

Dhoni also rued the fact that his team lack an all-rounder who can bowl quickly.

"One reason Australia is so strong is that their bowlers, like Mitchell Johnson and Brett Lee, can all bat a bit.

Full Coverage: Champions Trophy 2009

"We should be able to find a seamer who can bat. At times, if you are playing with just the six specialist batsmen, you can get into trouble especially if you are chasing a target and you lose early wickets," he said.

"During this tournament, we were forced to play five specialist bowlers and none of them are particularly good batsmen," Dhoni added.

One, not three bowlers short

Did India give it all away or were Pakistan just too good at the Centurion last night? The response depends on one's perspective, but I am inclined to believe that Pakistan played better cricket and hence deserved the victory.

We might indulge in endless arguments or discussions on India's bowling and some rash strokes by their batsmen, but the match was as good as over when Malik and Yousuf added 206 runs for the fourth wicket at good pace. Pakistan had plenty of overs left at the finish to indulge in some big-hitting to push the score past the 300-mark.

India v Pakistan: Eight gems

With Sachin getting out early, the signboards were up for India. True, Gambhir did raise some hopes, but in the face of mounting ask-rate following a middle-order collapse, even the most ardent India supporter would have been optimistic of an improbable win. I thought Pakistan took their chances in the field after weathering the early onslaught and came away victorious.

I felt India went in short of one specialist bowler. It is pointless to talk about the absence of Sehwag, Yuvraj and Zaheer, all on injury list. Dhoni had Mishra at his disposal and in my book, the spinner deserved to be played instead of packing the bowling with three seamers. At the end of the day, the captain was left crying over spilt milk when he said the team was "three bowlers short" when in fact, it was one.

The fact was that the two part-time bowlers, Pathan and Kohli, were clearly out of depth against the well-set Malik and Yusuf. Also, with the benefit of hindsight, I doubt if Harbhajan would have made any difference even if he had been introduced earlier than the 26th over.

The Indian bowlers, by and large, missed the plot after their initial overs. They never hit the right length or line and it was small wonder then that Malik and Yousuf were afforded the luxury of playing themselves in before opening their shoulders. As much as we berate India's bowling, it was smart batting by the duo that won the day. So, we would be better off by setting aside our patriotic leaning and applaud Pakistan's solid performance that went beyond Malik and Yousuf.

'IPL performances should not be the base for Test, ODI selection'

With the game done and dusted with, it is futile to wonder whether Gambhir and Kohli could have curbed their big-hitting instincts. For all you know, they could well have got out the next ball even if they had stayed. It is a matter of conjecture and the more one speculates, the higher the blood pressure!

Of more relevance is the inability of Indian bowlers to think on their feet. The captain can only set the field that a bowler wants. Eventually, the onus is on the bowler to bowl to his field. Unfortunately, this did not happen and the Pakistanis were smart enough to make profit.

Looking ahead, India are up against Australia who were somewhat unconvincing in their win against the West Indies. But then, the Aussies have points in the bag and India do not. Thus, on the morrow, the Indians will be under more pressure than they were last night against Pakistan. If anything, it will be a test of character for the Indian players.

Full Coverage: Champions Trophy 2009

Forget the No.1 ranking India stand to lose if they fail to make it to the semi-final, but the focus should be on the immediate task of getting up on the board by beating the Aussies, a task that is easier said than done, but definitely not beyond the realms of reality.

The Aussies did appear a tad fatigued against the Windies after a long tour that never seems to end. The heartbreak of Ashes series is still fresh in their minds and Ponting had a point when he asserted that the seven ODIs against England were one too many. Thus, flying into South Africa, the Aussies do not appear to be in the best frame of mind to subject themselves to another round of 50-over games.

If India can put behind the loss to Pakistan and play to their strengths, then there is no reason why they cannot put it past the Aussies. The Windies came closer than expected to achieving a surprise result, but collective inexperience let them down. It is time then for Indians to spend the Sunday break plotting against Australia than looking back on the Saturday night disaster.

India cannot do any worse if they bring in Mishra at the expense of a seamer. It is better to try and lose rather than stick to a formula that has not delivered the desired result. My Indian eleven would be: Gambhir, Tendulkar, Dravid, Raina, Dhoni, Karthik/Kohli, Pathan/Nayar, Harbhajan, Mishra, Nehra, Ishant.

Reasons why invest in the Forex Market

In recent years, investors of all categories and all countries have dramatically increased their participation in the currency markets. Why? Here’s a summary of the 8, plus an additional, reasons why investors are so attracted to the Forex market:

Reason #1: The world’s most liquid market

The Forex market can absorb such huge transaction volumes that the ability of any other financial market is negligible when compared with this market. In other markets like the stock market, low liquidity of some actions causes investors often have to liquidate their positions at an unwanted price. On the contrary, in the Forex market exists such high liquidity that investors have the possibility to open or close orders any time they want at whichever price they want.

Reason #2: Transparent market

Given the multimillion-dollar negotiation that takes place every day in the currency markets, it is virtually impossible to manipulate the market. This makes Forex a secure market for professional racers.

Reason #3: Continued negotiation market

Something that’s fascinating to participants in the Forex market is its 24 hours nature. There’s no schedule for opening or closing; Investors can operate during a run time of 24/5.

Reason #4: Market without forced deadlines

Participants from other financial markets are constrained by having to adhere to a particular horizon in time. In the Forex market, however, a position can remain open as long as the investor deems necessary.
Reason #5: Market without implementation costs
Historically, the Forex market has not received commissions for services, except for a natural difference between the buying and selling (spread rate).
Reason #6: Market identifiable trends

For various historical periods, currencies have shown substantial and identifiable trends. The fact that each individual currency offers a historical pattern of well-defined trend, facilitates the establishment of strategies for profitable capital.

Reason #7: Market of dual direction

Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market is one of two directions. That is, investors can earn either when the market rises or fall.

Reason #8: Leveraged Market

This allow Forex participants to control much larger amounts of capital with just a little investment. The leverage regularly offered is of 1:100.

Additional Reason: Automated Trading Software (FX Robots)

FX Robots are automated trading systems that facilitate the job for people that uses them. They just need to be configured and they’ll start trading based on market trends analysis, statistics and mathematics. FX Robots are extremely accurate and they can be used as primary income (mostly for newcomers to the Forex market) or as models to follow or to check decisions.

If you’re planning to use FX Robots here are my recommendations:

Common mistakes made when investing in the Forex Market

Learn how to make an investment in Forex is not enough to succeed. Just knowing how to invest and which are the most common currencies of investment, as the U.S. Dollar, Euro, etc. are just the basics of investing. Knowing when to invest and what to invest in are two of the most essentials things to success in FX trading. But, why people that knows all these stuff still lose money? Here are some of the most common errors people make when trading in the Forex Market:

Know nothing about the market in which people is investing

Anyone who wants to invest in Forex should know that the market is influenced by external factors such as political movements, speculation, interest rates, economic policies like increasing exports of a significant product, news global influence on the value of a currency, and so on. All these are essential facts of reality that influence the price of a currency. Along with this, it is extremely important to learn about the stories of behavior of the currencies and the factors that influence them.

Many people face the market without knowing anything about its past and behavior, just having in mind the basics of trading getting stalled on just numbers and trends. Believe Forex Market goes beyond that line.

Risking too much on the transactions

The desire of wanting to achieve very high profits in operations leads many of the investors to risk more than they should. Be careful with the capital being negotiated, because greed can lead to run out of anything. Once more diversified operations is most advisable to avoid risking all at once.

Not taking risks at all

Contrary to the previous mistake, not taking risks at all is also a huge mistake made by many investors. Invest carefully is probably the safest choice to make, but this could also lead to nothing. Taking calculated risks is the best way to operate in this market, and by calculated I mean: follow trends, do some math, read about the market in question, and know always where the risk taken can lead if everything goes wrong.

Not taking into account the possibilities

It must be realized that in this market if someone buys, someone else is selling what he just bought. Who sells is because he think prices will go down and who buys is because he is convinced they will rise. Not only the gain that can be obtained at each operation must be taken into account but also the loss.

Lack of knowledge and experience

Most of the time people enter to this market, like I said before, knowing nothing but the basics. This is definitely NOT enough. There’s a lot of research that needs to be done: read articles published by experienced investors, books, etc. It is also a great help to follow an experienced investor’s journey, there are many of them who create blogs about their journey in this market; but most important of all, find someone to advice you and keep in mind that great traders aren’t created from one day to another.

Copying strategies

A big mistake is to copy the strategies of someone with much experience. Why? Yes, it’s true that if they have so much experience they should be incredibly successful, but it is also true that their strategies are unique and probably impossible to completely copy, and trying to do so will lead to nothing since it has to be taken into account each person goals, objectives and the capital in negotiation.

Not having a Forex Trading System (Forex Robot)

Forex Trading Systems have become extremely popular among traders, this robots can be used in two different ways: the first one is to use them as primary income makers, which could also be a mistake if the investor trusts the software too much. And the second way is to have the robot to compare thoughts, create more ideas on how to move in the market, use it as trend and numbers analyser and also use it to trade when you can’t. This is the best way to use a Forex trading software, people get all the benefits, filtering all the flaws.
Investing in Forex is an art, and like all arts it needs patience, knowledge of the instruments, commitment, study, learn and do business with a right attitude. It is a really tricky market and just knowing how to trade won’t do it. There’s plenty of things to learn and you have to have it in mind, like I said before, great traders aren’t created from one day to another, there’s a lot of hard work, wins and losses in the way. And speaking of wins, here are some tools for you to avoid making the mistakes other people make and start winning:

I’d like cricket to be the biggest winner: Younis

OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
Johannesburg: Pakistan’s match against India has got closer, but captain Younis Khan was as relaxed on Friday as he’d been on Thursday when The Telegraph met him at the Sandton Sun.

The following are excerpts from Younis’s media conference in neighbouring Centurion

Pressure associated with an India-Pakistan clash

It’s there, but I’ll be treating tomorrow’s game like any other match... If the team starts taking the pressure, then it could collapse... The key, then, is handling it.

Significance of the clash

Again, it’s a difficult time for Pakistan and we need some good wins... Winning the Champions Trophy would be great... The entire nation is behind both teams... At the end of the day, though, I’d like cricket to be the biggest winner.

Whether it’s a revenge match for Pakistan, which lost to India in the 2003 World Cup, in Centurion

No... We need some good wins, that’s it... This is sports and we won’t be fighting out in the middle... In fact, you’ll find both (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni and I absolutely calm tomorrow...

Prospects

Every game starts 50-50, but conditions could make a difference.

His fitness

I’m not 100 per cent there, but to get to that stage, I’ll need four weeks... I’ve avoided pain-killing injections... I’ll play with this pain, for one has always done so... A little pain somewhere or the other.

Whether he would’ve played had the opposition not been India

(Laughs) No... Look, it would’ve been easy for me to run away from the India match, but I’d like to play a captain’s innings... I’d like to emulate Sachin’s performance (98) against us in the 2003 World Cup... Aaj bhi log baat karte rehte hain... It will be great if I can, say, score a hundred with a broken finger... I’ve looked at the bigger picture and motivated myself to play through this pain.

Sachin factor

He’s not hovering around us like a ghost... Koi jinh-bhoot to nahin hain... We don’t fear him... I think there’s more pressure on Sachin as he doesn’t have (Virender) Sehwag and Yuvraj (Singh) around... Having said that, there’s so much to learn each time that he scores big. Dekhne mein achcha lagta hai.

Yuvraj’s absence

Wouldn’t say it’s good luck for us, rather it’s bad luck for India...

Dhoni as captain

He’s been doing a fantastic job and, with experience, is more mature and much calmer now... His performances have been improving day by day.

Whether youngsters like Mohammed Aamer and Umar Akmal will be able to handle the pressure

They don’t know what pressure means and, so, that’s good for the team... The experienced players feel the heat a lot more, not so the newcomers.

Having somebody of Intikhab Alam’s experience in the dressing room

He’s been around for so many years and that’s of help... A team should have a mix of youth and experience... A senior group is essential.

Finally, the surface at Centurion

Usually, the wicket doesn’t matter unless it’s soft, as it was this morning... With sunshine, it could be different when we see it before the toss. The same surface had been used for Thursday’s South Africa-New Zealand clash.

Akshay Kumar and John Abraham in action

Teaming up for second time
Waiting for his maiden venture Blue to release, director Anthony D'Souza has already planned for his second and the dream team of Akshay Kumar and John Abraham are definitely part of his plans.

He has gotten the okay from producers Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd to go ahead with the two actors so it seems to be a done deal. When talking about his fixation on Akshay, the director says he can’t dream of making a film without him, and on John he says, “It’s strange that with his physique and body language he has never done a full-on action film.”

Anthony might have forgotten about John’s action thriller
Dhoom but it’s good for our Johnny bravo who with such a physique and look is just made for a full throttle action film.

After directing underwater action sequences for ‘Blue’, Anthony is enthusiastic to make a movie with aerial stunts. “If I was a member of the audience, I’d want to see the two together in the kind of stunts never seen before,” the director was quoted as saying by an agency.

From scuba diving to sky diving, bring it on!

Katrina Kaif with Shahrukh? Salman not fuming

From one Khan to another
Dream merchants in Bollywood are working overtime to whip out the most sensational casting coup in years. Efforts are on to pair up Katrina Kaif with none other than Shahrukh Khan for a film.

Yashraj Films have reportedly been trying to rope in Kat with their blue-eyed-no-longer-boy SRK. Now Karan Johar has joined the queue.

Speaking to a news channel, K-Jo said that Shahrukh and Katrina are the actors with the most romantic image in Hindi film industry presently. When quizzed if he wants to cast them together in a film, Johar, the enterprising producer that he is, did not rule out the possibility.

If indeed the efforts of these filmmakers come to fruition, we might see Katrina and Shahrukh romancing each other on screen sooner than expected. The on-screen match is now all the more possible, because Salman Khan, Katrina’s beau, has made it clear that he has absolutely no objection to Katrina working with anyone “except one idiot” (Sallu clarified he’s not SRK) in the industry.

So the door is open. All that the filmmakers have to do is come up with the right script that brings SRK and Kat together. For Sallu surely won’t be fuming.

Rakhi Sawant to marry an ‘egg?’

She’s less than poetic about her fiancé
Rakhi Sawant has been living her life on TV courtesy of the folks at NDTV, she chose her fiancé, Canada-based businessman Elesh Parujanwala, from among 16 prospective partners and now it seems she feels as though her husband to be resembles an egg. Hardly the stuff romance is made of.

Rakhi and Elesh are part of a new reality show "Pati, Patni Aur Woh" where they will be seen taking care of babies of different ages. Rakhi commented that first kid was scared of Elesh because of his face.

"The kid we were given initially used to start crying whenever he used to see Elesh. I think that's because Elesh has an egg-like face,” she stated.

Ouch!!

Just last week, Rakhi and her camp were putting out a different story every day regarding her future (or lack of it) with Elesh.

Something tells us that we shouldn’t expect to see her walking down the aisle anytime soon.

The show starts Monday at 10.30 p.m.

Ranbir Kapoor floored by Katrina's bravado

Katrina, the powerpuff girl
Don’t be misled by her delicate exterior. Katrina Kaif is a pretty tough damsel when it comes to flirting with danger. Her co-star Ranbir Kapoor found this out while working in Rajkumar Santoshi’s film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with her.

While shooting a stunt in Goa, Ranbir was floored by Kat’s bravado.

The scene required the duo to jump off a jet ski and cling on to a ladder that was suspended from a bridge overhead. While Katrina was able to pull off this stunt with impressive swiftness and finesse, Ranbir kept struggling.

Seeing Katrina’s derring-do, Ranbir gave her a new nickname: “Rambo ki sister Sambo”. The moniker wasn’t given in jest; Ranbir says he’s truly impressed by Katrina’s ability to do such a risky action scene.

Katrina though is flattered by Ranbir’s nickname, but laughs it off as just one of his funny one-liners.

Indeed, a beauty with bravado!

#2: Forex Megadroid

This robot wins the second spot, first of all, because it has performed extremely well from its launch until now. It has traded with an accuracy of about 70-90% winning trades. Actually we have another live account running which you can check by going to the right sidebard of the website. Second of all because of what the robot does, this robot can “predict” what the market behavior will be on the inmediate future, 2 to 4 hours from the present, or like I said in one of my recent posts, it extrapolates market values, points and trends to have an approximately behavior of it in the future (to know more about this check the Forex Megadroid Revisited). Third, the robot focuses in only one market, EUR/USD, which makes it even more accurate and reliable, but limitating traders diversity.

It is the best robot in terms of earnings, plus, one of the cheapest.

TOP Forex Robots

The famous FAP Turbo, it’s a robot build in the old Forex Autopilot engine. This robot wins the first place for being the best robot in terms of diversity, FAP Turbo works well with almost every single currency pair, with any strategy, Long or Short Term, but once again, like I said in one of my posts, it’s extremely hard to perfect various things at the same time, which makes it always second best when robots that focus on only one currency pair, like Megadroid, enter to the competition. Has had an accuracy on our trades of around 80-90% winning trades. If you wanna know more about this robot, check our full review of FAP Turbo

Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan to have dinner with Julia Roberts?

If things go as planned, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor would soon have dinner with the Oscar winning actress Julia Roberts who is presently shooting for her new film Eat, Pray, Love at Pataudi which is the royal seat of Saif’s family.

Reports say Julia has already met Saif’s mom Sharmila Tagore in Patuadi on the outskirts of Delhi and expressed her desire to meet her son Saif and his girlfriend Kareena after learning that Bebo would be playing her part in the Hindi remake of the Hollywood hit Stepmom starring Roberts and Susan Sarandon.

In fact, Kareena herself is very keen to meet Julia in the coming days. Bebo is presently busy shooting a song with Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan for 3 Idiots in Mumbai. The buzz is that she has asked to be excused from the shooting for a day so that she could fly to Pataudi for the planned dinner with Julia Roberts.

Meeting the actress would certainly help Kareena in preparing for her role in the Hindi ‘Stepmom’ which is being produced by Karan Johar.

The fact that Roberts is staying and shooting in Pataudi might get Bebo her dream dinner date with the Hollywood beauty.

Salman Khan heaps praise on Shahrukh Khan

Oye! The impossible has happened. To hear praises of Shahrukh Khan from the mouth of his arch foe Salman Khan is the last thing we expected. But the mercurial and unpredictable Salman has us floored again.

On an upcoming episode of his show ‘Dus Ka Dum’ in which Ritesh Deshmukh and Govinda were the celebrity guests to promote their film Do Knot Disturb, Salman heaped praise upon praise on SRK after Ritesh mimicked a love scene from one of SRK’s films.

Visibly impressed by Ritesh’s imitation, Salman couldn’t stop gushing: “When it comes to romantic scenes, Shah Rukh is outstanding. Nobody can do it better than Shah Rukh Khan. He has the intensity in his eyes and is utterly romantic.”

Salman did not stop at that. He also admired SRK’s professionalism.

“Professionally, Shah Rukh is simply great,” Sallu reportedly said.

Salman’s generosity in complimenting SRK on his show, which is watched by lakhs of viewers, is certainly admirable. According to people who were on the sets, there wasn’t any satire in Salman’s tone and his compliments about SRK were genuine.
