more abt the history

About Ben & Jerry’s
Ben & Jerry's Homemade Inc., was founded in 1978 in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, USA, by childhood friends and dedicated hippies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. They soon became popular in the local community for their innovative flavours, made from fresh Vermont milk and cream and large portions of whatever ingredients they felt tasted good on the day of making!

Over the years, Ben & Jerry's moved from being a one parlour operation to manufacturing tubs of our increasingly famous ice cream for distribution to retail outlets nation-wide and now world-wide. Nonetheless, their motto remains that "business has a responsibility to the community in which it operates".

interesting the founders are hippes..haha..i hope they dun make the ice cream when listening to rock music and shaking their long hair around....

i not stupid 2

waited quite long for this movie..happen to notice that jack neo have a tendency to release his movies at CNY..I think it a pretty smart marketing technique..cos he know ppl tend to spend more and are willingly and able to catch more movies..personally for me ..i already catch 2 movie during CNY..So i guess he is pretty observant..But i guess he know that his film wont get into a direct clash with the release of the much awaited memoirs of a geisha and fearless.I not stupid 2 is a much awaited film too in spore..

He used the same cast but different characters..He is trying to highlight and critique on issues of sporeans esp in the growing up phase..So i guess there is goning be i not stupid too 3..but maybe he need to change the chinese characters for the movie called da ren bu stupid 3...haha...

This film is being told from the perspectives of Jerry(Protagonist).There are ample chances and time for characters to develop their personality and values..The characters are indeed develeoped quite well..I must say Jack Neo has deveolped and matured as a director..he is taking on more serious issues about communications and generation gap issues...

But what i feel the use of the rap music is pretty not suitable..in fact i just feel its like a spin off from initial d..the song sounds like Jay chou stlye...i need to read more on that...

on the whole i tink its a gd film..hope to catch is a 2nd time..to understand more,,

spore film is serious film..support spore film

Tribute to Daley Thompson

I was reading up on the Daley Thompson the sportman on my adidas jacket..I knew that he was a great althele..only when i looked at his records..he is really good..I have to admit and respect him.. he is one of the greatest althele in the sporting history.But i found out was really amazing his archievements ,his views and his way of life and esp his history and his motto in life.

he is a World's Greatest Decathlete

A decathlon is a sportive contest made up of 10 events. The term decathlon usually refers to an athletic (track and field) event. Normally occurring over two days, the event pushes athletes to their limits.

Day 1:

* 100 m
* long jump
* shot put
* High Jump
* 400 m

Day 2:

* 110m hurdles
* discus throw
* pole vault
* javelin throw
* 1500 m

The decathlon has been included in the program of the Olympic Games since 1912. It is one of the most highly respected Gold Medals. In many cases, including international competition, it is only contested by men

Thompson won consecutive gold medals at the 1980 and 1984 Olympic Games, and broke the world record for the event four times. His best score in the event was set in the 1984 Olympic competition at 8847 points, a world record that stood for nine years and an Olympic record that stood for 20 years until the Czech athlete Roman Šebrle scored 8893 points in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. He competed for an unprecedented third Olympic decathlon gold at the 1988 Seoul games, but was severely hampered by injury and could only finish fourth. Thompson was the first athlete to simultaneously hold Olympic, Commonwealth, European and World titles in a single event.

The decathlon requires proficiency in ten events - the shot put, discus and javelin throws; the long and high jumps; the pole vault; the 100 m, the 400 m and the 1500 m run and the 110 m hurdles. The winner is considered the all-round athletics champion. In 1984, a British athlete, Daley Thompson, became only the second person in Olympic history to claim the decathlon gold twice.

Born on July 30th 1958 in Notting Hill, London, of Scottish and Nigerian parentage, Thompson first competed in the decathlon in the 1976 Montreal Games as an 18-year-old. He finished 18th! Four years later at the Moscow Olympics, he won the gold medal, finishing 150 points ahead of his nearest rival.

Till Thompson arrived on the scene, the decathlon was one of the least popular spectator events in athletics. Thompson changed all that with his colour and flamboyance. He made each element of the decathlon a drama in itself. He was a superb athlete, one who had dedicated his life to nothing but getting better and better in the event. The number of world-class decathletes shot up during the 'Daley decade'. A score of 8000 points was bettered over 500 times in the 1980's!

In the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Thompson was at his peak. He won the gold with a total of 8797 points, equalling American Bob Mathias' achievement of two decathlon golds. A year later, the IAAF adjusted the scores and Thompson was given the world record with 8847 points.

He was a top class performer at a wide range of events, with a silver medal at 4x100m relay and sixth at pole vault at the 1986 Commonwealth Games and bronze at 4x100m at the 1986 Europeans. He was fifth at long jump and the winner of the decathlon at the 1977 European Juniors. He took national titles at the long jump, AAA in 1977 and UK in 1979. Individual event bests: 100m 10.26 (1986), 200m 20.88 (1979), 400m 46.86 (1982), 1500m 4:20.3 (1976), 110mh 14.04 (1986), 400mh 52.14 (1986), high jump 2.14mi (1982), 2.11 (1980); pole vault 5.25m (1986), long jump 8.01m (1984), 8.11w (1978); shot 16.10m (1984), discus 49.10m (1986), javelin 65.38m (1980), new specification 64.04 (1988). Club: Newham & Essex Beagles.
