What if Owen Wilson’s Suicide Attempt Worked? 2007-08-27 10:51:08 I cannot help keep thinking the same question in my mind “What if Owen Wilson’s Suicide Attempt worked?” that’s if it was that. What seems to of happened is that he had slit both his wrists and just the thought of that sends a chill down my spine. Wedding Crashers is one of my favorite comedies and my son watches the movie “Cars” everyday and that also featured Owen Wilson’s voice. If the breaking news is true then it would be a sad place without one of my favorite actors. I just hope he gets better and I am sure he will now get the support of his family and friends to help him through this hard time…we wish you the best of luck Owen.

Camilla Parker Bowles Will Not Be Attending Princess Diana Memorial Service 2007-08-27 07:52:54 It seems Camilla Parker Bowles has listened to the public’s cutting criticism and has vowed not to attend the memorial service for Princess Diana. Camilla, now the duchess of Cornwall, married Prince Charles in 2005 after a 30 year love affair which many blamed for the marriage break-up of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Camilla said in a statement she was touched that Princes William and Harry had invited her to the service, which is to be held on Friday, to mark the 10th anniversary of their mothers death. Camilla also said, “I accepted and wanted to support them. However, on reflection, I believe my attendance could divert attention from the purpose of the occasion, which is to focus on the life and service of Diana,” The decision to include Camilla, who Diana called the third person in her troubled marriage to Prince Charles, had been building up fury for weeks with many Diana admirers who insisted that the cause of Diana’s unhappy marriage should not attend.

BHP Billiton Sees Olympic Dam Uranium Project Delayed 2007-08-27 07:50:44 BHP Billiton have said that their resources at the Olympic Dam Projects could be as much as 50 per cent larger than previously thought. However the project is experiencing some delays although it is not yet clear how severe they are. However, as The Uranium Stocks Newsletter wrote today, taking the time to get it write could be well worth the wait: “The need to get it right, to be more capital efficient as they say, are motherhood statements which apply to any project. We don’t see any specifics here, any detail, which in turn suggests that we are still a fair way from the starting post for this project extension.” It is even more important to get it right after the issue with Cameco and Cigar Lake: “No doubt that the shadow of Cigar Lake looms large and the concerns of the engineers are being heard and built in to the methodology for this project.” Do you think BHP Billiton can bring the Olympic Dam Uranium Project extension online, on time?

Chinese Recalls: officials blame change to international standards governing magnets 2007-08-27 07:35:07 After a number of goods from China were recalled, China is trying to defend the quality of its goods, saying some of the problems may have stemmed from foreign designs. In a dramatic turnaround, China has blamed AMERICA for the recent poor standard of products from China. China has said many problems are due to US designs, not Chinese manufacturing faults. China has also blamed a change to international standards governing magnets and other areas of manufacturing: “The different standards that China and the United States apply to different products” “That would lead to difficulty in defining whether a product is problematic,” Do you think these recalls are the fault of China? Or are they justified in blaming America? Source Written by Roy for Product ReviewsIn Sections: Recalls, News ...

They took to the stage at around 5.35pm and opened with their own song Thriller but then later in the set performed a cover of Michael Jackson’s Beat It. They said that people were asking us if we was in anyway nervous about playing at Reading and they answer no because all the people here have always been nice to us. They said that they do not want to be hit with a bottle because that sucks so they brought their friend out on stage and said that he is going to break a real bottle of beer over his head. The band’s pal then appeared on stage and smashed a beer bottle into his forehead, resulting in a bloody nose which dripped as he danced up a storm for the remainder of the set.

Subprime Crisis, Bank of America and US spiralling toward recession 2007-08-27 06:49:50   Despite emergency measures from financial institutions such as The Bank of America, the US subprime crisis continues to drag the American economy down into a recession. Many feel that the fact that China is refusing to relax its currency policy its affecting the US economy, but market analyst Sam Kirtley of The Gold Prices Newsletter thinks differently: “The reason that we think a real estate crash is coming is that the US housing market has been over inflated by easy credit and the Federal Reserve printing masses of dollar bills. The real estate boom is a bubble that is about to pop and when it does, the US will go into a major recession and gold prices will soar.” Donald Straszheim, vice chairman of Newport Beach, California-based Roth Capital Partners has said: “Losses in subprime will solidify China’s resolve to go slow on financial and other market reforms to the dismay of Secretary Paulson, the U.S. Congress and others in the West that believe China’s financi ...

Will Intel’s new 1333mhz FSB Core 2 Duo Processor Range Make Us Upgrade? 2007-08-27 06:28:16 Intel’s release of a 1333mhz FSB Core 2 Duo will mean that anyone who wants to realize the full potential of these processors, will have to buy a Motherboard with a P35 chipset, costing at least $100 from newegg. Unless you go for the low end of the market and buy a $50 motherboard that just fits the requirements, its going to be at least a $280 upgrade if you get the cheapest E6550. Or is this just the first step towards the migration into the higher FSB range of processors. Seeing as the only Intel processor with 1333mhz FSB has the QX6850 processor, which didn’t allow for the lower markets, the cost was $1200. Will we see whether the release these 1333mhz FSB processors will lead the way to higher FSB speeds for processors to come with the new penryn processors?
