I dont know how many of you realize this but many really famous people meet death at a very young age ranging from their 20’s to 40’s.I dont exactly know why but a constant theory that relates to this phenomenon is the stressful life of the rich and famous.They have absolutely no privacy what so ever.If a little child’s nightmare is the boogeyman,a rich and famous guy’s nightmare are the paparazzi’s.They will not stop at anything to just get a shot at celebrities and this usually obstructs the celebrities from a normal life.They cannot think of going to the mall or garden or even the cinemas without being mocked by the media.This draws an incredible amount of attention to celebrities and people know each and every thing they do.When they mess up on something,The whole world is againts them and this is something that no human being can stand.

Paparazzi’s and the media are the celebrity version of the boogeyman.

Besides that, alot of these celebrities die because of a bad life style with habits like drugs,alcohol and late nights.If a celebrity does not die of drugs or suicide,they are usually murdered mysteriously or brutally.

Here are a few celebrities who passed away at a considerably young age:

Elvis Presley:

Elvis’s cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia. While true in the strictest sense (cardiac arrhythmia basically means that the heart was beating irregularly and in this case, finally stopped), the attending physicians deliberately omitted the fact that what had apparently caused Elvis’ heart to beat irregularly and then stop was an overdose of prescription drugs. These drugs included codeine, Valium, morphine, and Demorol, to name a few.He was 42.

John Lennon:

John lennon was shot to death when he was only 40.

Jimmy Hendrix:

Jimmy hendrix actually predicted his own death five years earlier.Five years later,he drank wine, took nine Vesperax sleeping pills and then choked on his own vomit and died.He was only 28.

Bob Marley:

Bob Marley died from a malignant melanoma, a form of cancer, that was on his right toe. He could’ve avoided death with amputation, but it was against his Rastafari beliefs. The cancer spread.He was only 36.

Tupac Shakur:

Like John lennon,he was a victim of homicide at only 25.

These are only a few of many other celebrities who died tragically at very young ages.I guess god gives one and takes one away!!

Whats important is for us to live our life to the fullest and be the best person we can be while were still alive!

  I would consider myself to be a movie goer because of my extreme liking for hollywood movies on dvd’s.I decided to purchase some original dvd’s online but i cannot get the latest dvd’s  instores.I tried e-bay but it only sells old movies.I even tried a few other stores but they are not available for business in Malaysia.If anyone could introduce me to an online dvd store that deals in Malaysia i would appreciate it.Please leave a comment if you could help me in any way!!

Thank you!!

  When my dad purchased a complete sony home theater system with the big screen tv,i turned into a sound freak with a lust for good quality dvd’s with exceptional sound.Even though sony is not considered to be  the best sound brand,i would consider it to be satisfactory because the details of the sound is considerably good.I would often play around with the audio menus which is normally made up of two major types of sounds namely the dolby digital and dts.

 Naturally, DTS advocates are in the winning position because they can say that they have heard a difference. The poor old Dolby Digital defenders look like they have cloth ears. But before we delve too deeply into the debate, let’s look at what the two formats are, and where they came from.

Neither was developed for DVD. Both were intended to provide 5.1 discrete channels of digital sound cinemas on 35mm film while remaining fully compatible with standard equipment. Dolby placed its digitalsound track as optical marking on the edge of the film, between the sprocket holes. This left Dolby with a bandwidth of around 400 kilobits per second. Six channels of uncompressed CD-quality digital audio requires ten times this capacity, so Dolby developed AC-3, an MPEG-type ‘lossy’ audio compression system.

Dolby Digital’s first appearance was in 1992’s Batman Returns, slightly pipping Jurassic Park’s 1993 premiering of DTS.     The DTS sound track isn’t on the film at all, but on a separate CD, synchronised with SMPTE time code markings on the film. Since CDs output around 1,400 kilobits per second of digital audio, DTS was designed to use this bandwidth (actually, due to different error correction techniques, full DTS produces 1,536 kilobits per second). This had the additional advantage of allowing easier distribution of other-language sound tracks, without the expense of having to prepare new film prints with dubbed dialogue. In their DVD incarnations, Dolby Digital and DTS are similar systems. Both use a lossy compression system and in their 5.1 varieties, each offers the DVD producer two bit rates. Most Dolby Digital DVDs use 384kb/s but some use 448kb/s, which Dolby says is the maximum possible on a DVD. DTS can come at the original rate of 1536kb/s or the half-rate of 768kb/s (eg. Gladiator, Santana: Supernatural Live and all of Columbia TriStar Superbit DVDs).

So which sounds better?

That’s where the controversy arises. Dolby and DTS are only of slight help in this. They have been sniping at each other for a while. DTS says that of course it sounds better because its compression isn’t as lossy as Dolby’s. Dolby says that you can’t draw any conclusions from the raw compression figures because it all depends on how well the codec (compression/decompression system) is designed. This makes sense. Sony’s ATRAC3 sounds better than MP3 at similar compression rates. Still, we are talking about a big difference in compression levels here.

Dolby also says that the DTS 0.1 channel rolls off the bass by a few dB at the top end of the range. DTS counters that Dolby Digital’s 0.1 channel imparts a huge phase shift due to its brick-wall low pass filter. Dolby says that the half-rate DTS ‘maxes out at 15kHz’ (later amended to a 3dB attenuation at 15kHz) while 384kb/s Dolby goes to 18kHz and 448kHz reaches 20kHz. DTS responds that the higher level Dolby system mixes the channels above 15kHz, and the lower level one as low as 10kHz.

Dolby says that it organised listening tests with professionals who preferred its system. DTS says that the tests ought to be independently conducted.

Dolby says DTS tracks often play louder than Dolby Digital ones due to the latter’s dialogue normalisation feature (which is often set to reduce the playback level by 4dB) and an alleged 0.6dB boost in DTS’s encoding of broadband material. DTS says that there is no 0.6dB boost.

And so on.

Reviewer opinions are varied, however the range is from DTS-is-better to they’re-pretty-much-the-same. The more carefully conducted the trials, the greater the attention paid to removing non-codec related variables, the more equivocal the findings.

As for me, I find that there is very little, if any, difference. If you hear a DTS sound track sounding obviously better than a Dolby Digital one, you can be fairly confident that a different mix was used. For identically sourced audio, changing from Brand A of speakers to Brand B will change the sound a lot more than changing from the Dolby Digital to the DTS audio track.

  We often come across captions and messages which are sometimes useful in our lives.Its not always that we try to implicate those captions and messages into our everyday lives.Well,i know i dont!  This changed when i came across which i consider to be an inspiring message.It was really deep and meaningful.I even tried to apply its content in my life. Heres the message:

I asked god,”how do i get the best out of life?”
God answered,”Face your past without regrets.Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare  for the  future  without  fear”
Then he added,”Keep the faith and drop the fear.Don’t believe your doubts and never doubt
your beliefs”

Life is wonderful if we know how to live it.Lets just drop our fears and strive for our goals!!

God bless you guys.
