Apache
Indescribable! A unique approach on some serious and non-serious matters. Some nice pictures and, now and then, some good photos with my personal touch. |

What are the odds of a musical film winning the oscars?
Dreamgirls, an American musical film jointly produced and released by DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures, is an Academy Award-nominated(eight nominations!) and Golden Globe-winning(won three Globes, including best comedy or musical).The film begins in Detroit, Michigan in 1962, as an amateur African-American girl group known as The Dreamettes enter a talent competition at the Detroit Theater. Backstage, the three girls ? full-figured lead singer Effie White (Jennifer Hudson), Deena Jones (Beyoncé Knowles) and Lorrell Robinson (Anika Noni Rose) ? meet Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx), an ambitious Cadillac dealer with plans of breaking into the music business. Placing himself as their manager, Curtis arranges for the Dreamettes to tour as backup for a regional R&B star, James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy), by striking a deal with Jimmy's manager Marty (Danny Glover).

Dr. House

Totally Deserved!
Congratulations to Hugh Laurie, Golden Globe Award Winner (for the second year in a row!) for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Drama Series, for "House, M.D.".The British actor plays a crippled, antisocial, anti-establishment, almost sociopathic, painkiller-addicted but quite brilliant doctor - Dr. Gregory House - in this medical drama.An Oxford University graduate, Laurie was best known in Great Britain for his comedy work, but has since starred in movie blockbusters such as "Stuart Little," "The Man in the Iron Mask" and "101 Dalmatians."I'm happy (but not surprised) he won this award, because I'm a big fan of his work.

A piece of aviation history
2007-01-21 23:21:00
Supersonic airline research in Europe began in 1956 and resulted in the British and French Governments signing an international treaty for the joint design, development and manufacture of a supersonic airliner six years later. The first prototype was rolled out at Toulouse in 1967 and since then, there have been a number of notable dates in the history of Concorde.Concorde measures 204ft in length - stretching between six and ten inches in-flight due to heating of the airframe. She is painted in a specially developed white paint to accommodate these changes and to dissipate the heat generated by supersonic flight. The wingspan is 83ft 8ins - much less than conventional subsonic aircraft as Concorde flies in totally a different way using "Vortex Lift" to achieve her exceptional performance. The height is 37ft 1ins. The characteristic droop nose is lowered to improve pilots' visibility for take-off and landing.Concorde's four engines - specially designed Rolls-Royce/ Snecma Olympus ...
