            “Light Yagami is an ace student with great prospects-and he’s bored out of his mind. But all that changes when he finds the death note, a notebook dropped by a rogue Shinigami death god. Any human whose name is written in the notebook dies, and how Light has vowed to use the power of the Death Note to rid the world of evil. But when criminals begin dropping dead, the authorities send the legendary detective L to track down the killer. With L hot on his heels, will Light lose sight of his noble goal…or his life?” (Tsugumi Ohba, Death Note).

            Upon reading the first sentence of the books description, I didn’t really see the point in reading this book. My first thoughts were along the lines of “Oh great, another book about a bunch of teenagers.” I didn’t like what I saw. Nevertheless, I decided to check it out and see what it was about, and I am glad I did. Having seen the anime episodes before, I was already a fan of Death Note. However, anime shows and manga books tend to be portrayed differently, and sometimes, have nothing to do with each other in the end. This, however, is not the case with Death Note.

            What happens when you pit an uncatchable genius with a strong sense of justice and the power to cause anyone to die at anytime by any means he wishes, against a detective whom nobody knows the real name of, who also has a strong sense of justice and who can catch anybody? The result: Death Note. This book is all about the mental battle between the uncatchable justice-seeker Light Yagami, and the detective who can catch anybody, the legendary “L”.

            With the Death Note, a person can kill anyone at anytime, assuming they know that persons name and face. Within these rules lies a severe problem for the main character, Light Yagami, “L”. Nobody knows anything about the legendary detective L, except that he has never failed at putting somebody behind bars, giving him the illusion of being able to solve any case, and catch any criminal. Naturally, this pits the two against each other as natural enemies, forcing each to participate in a constant game of cat and mouse.

            On one side, there is Light Yagami. As “Kira”, Light Yagami is forced into a situation where he must eliminate L in order to continue his task of removing evil from the world, and creating a world of only good. On the other side, there is L. As the legendary detective, L’s real name is unknown, even to the highest authorities. With this, L has the advantage of being anonymous. However, because of the Notebook, Light leaves behind no evidence of murder from using the book, giving him the advantage of having no proof to prove him as Kira. This is a very tricky situation indeed.

            I would highly recommend this book to anybody who enjoys books that include the following: action, suspense, mystery, or anything related to police work. In saying that, I would advise against allowing younger readers to partake in this book. Reasons being, I do not believe introducing younger peoples to violence at a young age to be appropriate. I would recommend this to teenage or older readers.

1. Good For Digestive System: Take one glass of hot water and squeeze the juice of 1 fresh lemon in it. It helps in getting rid of constipation, as it helps in removing the waste more efficiently. It acts as blood purifier and a cleansing agent. It also relieves you from hiccups when taken as a juice.
2. Excellent For Skin Care:  “One lemon a day keeps the ageing away.”  Daily consumption of lemon juice can bring a noticeable difference in your skin, as it has anti ageing properties which helps in prevention of ageing and brings to glow to your face because of vitamin c in it. When applied on skin spots it helps to fade them away because of its antiseptic properties.
3. Controls High Blood Pressure: Due to its high content of potassium in it works good for people suffering from heart problems. It controls high blood pressure, nausea, dizziness and provides relaxation to your body and mind.
4. Good For Weight Loss: This is the most known and popular fact among people and most of them recommend it too. So, if you want to lose weight then try drinking Luke warm water mixed with lemon juice and honey on daily basis and see the difference.
5. Colds And Flu: Vitamin c and phytochemicals  present in lemon helps to boost your immune system and thus treat a person suffering from cold and flu. 
6. Blood Purifier: Due to its blood purification properties it removes dangerous free radicals and purifies the blood. Thus diseases like malaria and cholera can be treated by drinking lemon water or its usage.
7. Gall And Kidney Stone: The citric acid present in lemon helps to dissolve gallstones, calcium deposits, and kidney stones.
8. Cancer: Lemons contain 22 anti-cancer compounds, including limonene – naturally occurring oil that slows down the growth of cancer tumors in animals.  Lemons also contain a substance called flavonol glycosides which stop cell division in cancer cells. University of California, Davis College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences explains that limonoids, or phytochemicals, found in citrus fruits, such as lemons and limes, may be of benefit in the prevention of cancer. Limonoids can stimulate the production of glutathione-S-transferase, which is known to detoxify carcinogenic compounds responsible for cancer. These phytochemicals have also shown promise in inhibiting the proliferation of hormone-sensitive cancer cells, as is seen in breast cancer. Further studies are necessary to determine efficacy.
9. Hair Care: Application of lemon juice on the scalp can treat problems like dandruff, hair fall and other hair related problems. It also gives a natural shine to your hair.
10. Dental Care: Lemon juice application helps in getting rid of the toothache pain. To stop gum bleeding just massage it on your gums. It can also work as a cleansing cum whitening agent for your teeth.

So, what are you waiting for by knowing all these benefits you must add lemon to your daily diet and enjoy this summer with a lots of lemonade.

Hamish Gaejam is 28 years old. He thinks that falling in love is all about the chemistry. He shares everything with her sweetie. He often leaves handwritten love notes for her. His friends say that he would walk a thousand miles just to see her. He tends to be relaxed and sleep well when falling in love. Every time he falls in love, it feels like the first time. This is exciting and exhilarating.  When he thinks of love, he thinks that it is a feeling of happy satisfaction and enjoyment.

She was missing for approximately two days before the police finally found her. Supposedly, a certain man (whose name the police are not revealing) kidnapped her to create trouble, stemming off his insecurities about attention.

She was found about 30 miles from her home.

She is known for her part in Disney, as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place. Her time there had already ended, though. It seems as if she would continue to move along her career, but now that won’t be possible.

PSYCH! Nothing supports that she’s dead…

More Info on National “Joe” Day

Do you hate your name? Everyone who hates their name has a right on this day to have everyone they know call them Joe.

There has been rumors that Disney will replace Jack Sparrow with a new character, because Johnny Depp supposedly wasn’t that excited about doing the fourth movie when he learned that Gore Verbinski wouldn’t be on board, and also because the actor’s agenda is busy. But he did get along with the new directer, Rob Marshall, so Disney is now supposedly trying to convince Jonny Depp to sign up for more films. Nothing is final yet, thoguh. Johnny Depp may or may not play Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean 6.

Some, unsure about the plot, but speculate that there will be a crazy cliff-hanger between the fifth and sixth movies, so let’s hope that Pirates of the Caribbean 6 will be released soon after Pirates of the Caribbean 5!

These are just some of the occasions where memories are being processed. And definitely, these are just few of the seemingly endless list of memories any person would want to keep forever. 

Most-if not all-people are fond of keeping memories. Memories that bring them back to the days when their lives were simpler and happier than it is today. It’s not because they are bitter over something…But since people are naturally discontented of what they have, they would want to ask for more-memories that is. 

Since memories do not necessarily require any specific amount of money-what better way to preserve these still moments of happiness but to enclose them in a photo?

Indeed, many are people are so fond of seeing themselves captured in a single photo. Some just enjoy seeing how photogenic they are in photos. Some would only want to preserve a distant memory of someone through a photo. 

When it comes to the quality of the photo’s composition, try to get more landscape photos that capture the essence of the place and the people. You can take distant photos and shots especially if you want to give more emphasis on the scenery rather that the people posing in front of it. 

If you are the experimental type, you can try taking silhouette photos that are more emotional-looking and artistic. The basic rule is that make sure you are using your default metering mode and focus on the human subjects. 

Or consider other designing options. That won’t create stress as you create it. 

Get as many ideas as you can.  Then do you own doodling.  

Incorporating all your options,.  

Such as a picture of a cat, portrait of a cats face.  A person screaming.

Scraping an area so you can create a whole new creation.

Also, if you use a lighting fixture. Please be careful on the light. Avoiding

real fire in a pumpkin. A hazard waiting to happen.  Possibly consider a 

mechanical lighting that fits inside the designed pumpkin.  

Possibly green lighting, adding bubbly soap if you happen to make a 

mouth at the bottom section of the pumpkin.

Also, consider never creating a scaring design.  Having respect for the 

audience you are showing off.  

When you clean out the pumpkin, consider rinsing the pumpkin seeds

and 0 calorie butter spray and cinnamon sugar and nut meg, etc

on them, and bake them until you are ready.  Taking tasting tests.

Consider do your homework on buying the lowest price pumpkin.

And, when waiting close to a day etc to carve the design. Your pumpkin

can wilt, possibly.  Being patient with yourself when you do the actual

carving/designing.  Possibly drawing the design on the pumpkin with a light

color so it won’t seen from a distance. And, getting the right carving tool.

To make a clean cut/carve.  Cleaning your area as you go a long.

Frequently, step back to see your progress, as you carve/create.

Having festive Halloween music on, is a gaoling suggestion..

Most importantly have fun and smile when you create.  Never having an

Halloween evening. Making it safe, fun and unforgettably hauntingly fun…

whoohahahaha….

Get connected to God: Indian sages understood that it was absolutely necessary to get connected to the cosmic energy. The Universe is full of energy. You are aware of the enormous energy inside a tiny atom particle.  You can fill yourself with positive energy by connecting to the cosmic energy. When you tune your Television set to a particular frequency, you are able to view a live Wimbledon match taking place miles away from you. Similarly you can get connected to the cosmic energy through proper meditation. It takes time and a lot of effort to achieve this. However if you do achieve it, nothing on the Earth could equal that feeling. It’s the ultimate happiness one could experience in life. Unless you achieve it your life will never be complete on this Earth. You can absorb tremendous cosmic energy and become more successful in both career and personal life.

The benefits of cosmic energy: If you can get connected to the cosmic energy, you will get strong and healthy mind. You can enjoy wonderful health. You will start loving yourself, your family, relatives, friends, every living thing and the whole word literally.

Present world scenario: Today we see a lot of enmity and hatred among people on the basis of religion, race, nationality etc., terrorism and violence rising in many countries across the world.

Life’s philosophy: Like it or not, we have come to this world. We should do our duty, earn money to fulfill our basic needs at least and form a family. We have to produce children and raise them to be good citizens.  At the same time, we should explore the experience of getting connected to the supreme power, the God.

Conclusion: Life is just going on; we never stop and think about the purpose of life.  We should try to get connected to the Supreme power, the God through proper meditation. Life will not be complete without that. It’s very easy to say it but very hard to practice, I admit it. Thanks for reading.

            I used to love Eminem (Marshall Mathers) with his old school rythm, the way that he brought himself around to be the tough guy but still sensitive and you knew he always had something to go off about or be pissed off about and when you listened to it you realized alot of that stuff you had going on in your life too so now you bump the music to also get along with it. Now that music has all changed, Eminem has gone all pop, and is now in his label doing music like I love the way you lie, which was a bombshell for his career and got him a load of money but he must be going insane, having to do all these songs that are so opposite of what he used to do in the day with the attitude and old school stuff. That is what rap is all about, old school, back in 1995 when tupac was alive and was ready to change the game forever, until the illuminati came.

                 Lady Gaga dressing up in all that clothing just digusts me, we have all been through the womens rights issue and how women are equal but the fact that she is going on stage making that much of a scene just to show she is an independant strong woman, goes to show how weak she really is, the same as Bruno Mars going out singing his lungs off about nothing, about being Lazy? he didnt want to write that, the government did, so they make him sing it, and make himself sound like a fool, the music today is horrible and people are dragged around like puppets.

                 I have my own theory on 2pac’s death, and here it is. Tupac was getting way to big, he goes in and out of jail, everybody is loving the man, because he was SO ahead of his time, considering the kids now adays still beleive nobody was or is better then 2pac was, he was going in for partys, going to make a political party for the people, and make sure the world was happy, bringing a message that you don’t have to run under these business suits, but then the government knew and saw that Tupac was going to be an inspiration to all these people and make their own government so they had to dispose of him. The Biggie smalls incedent probably came after just to make it look cleaner, and put more of a blame on Biggie, that is my opinion, and I find it sick because I know for a fact the government would kill somebody, to make their country look better. You think Iraq had weapons of mass destruction before the US sold them to Iraq? nope, US just wanted all the oil over in the Iraq sand, so now we have a war going on, Jesus, What the world will do for money now adays is disgusting.

            My point stands with Eminem, same thing as the Iraq war, Eminem sells his music and gets angry and kids love it but then the game changes, pop girly dance music becomes in, so Eminem has to switch up and go from his normal style to being some little singer guy in music video’s, sometimes its what you have to do, but its the same thing as Iraq, with America needing the oil so they rush over and just take it, people just want money, and really, some people will NOT care what they need to do to get it, the music industry is all messed up now adays and I plan to change that, I am an MC and I want to make a change, WHO IS WITH ME? all it takes is one brain, one message, one chance, and you can change anything in the world.
