I watch this movies (Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa) last week and its totally a fun show. I thought the first one was just OK, but this one was great. Tons of kid jokes as well the second level for Adults. Bring your music dictionary or you will miss half of them. I think I will have to see it again as I’m sure I missed a bunch of them. I thought this was a perfect movie for adults and children. Between the giggles of the children in the audience to the chuckles of the adults, I couldn’t tell who was enjoying the movie more. And yes, it’s better than the first one.

The film opens years earlier before the events in the first film. Alakay (later renamed “Alex”) is a dimwitted infant lion cub who would rather dance and play around than train with his father, the alpha lion Zuba. Makunga is jealous of Zuba because he is the leader and he ridicules Zuba for having such a pathetic son. Zuba becomes mad and accepts Makunga’s fight challenge and he wins. But while he wasn’t looking, Alakay had been snatched by hunters. Zuba tries to chase them down but he gets shot in the ear trying to save Alakay. Alakay’s crate falls into the ocean and days later he washes ashore in a pre 9/11 New York. He is sent to the zoo and is named Alex. He notices a lion symbol on a statue and imitates it. He becomes a huge hit and years later, as an adult lion, his life leads up to the events in the first film.

The film cuts to the four heroes singing, I Like To Move It and saying goodbye to their lemur friends while taking off in a plane to New York, along with King Julien and Maurice, the chimpanzees, and Mort who did not get into the plane on time, but hangs on to the wing outside as they take off. Later, Alex sees and mistakes Mort for a Gremlin, but when he sees that the Gremlin is Mort, he waves his hand, saying hi, but with Mort raising his hand too, the idiotic lemur falls off the wing. Over the country, they run out of fuel and crash land “safely” in the African plains. The penguins, who controlled the flight say it might take 6 to 9 months to rebuild the plane, and so Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman take off to find any help. However, the chimpanzees find help. The animals encounter a tourist car, with New Yorkers sitting in it. Alex recognizes the old lady “Nana” that engaged violently with him at the train station, and they brawl, nevertheless the old lady beats Alex again. Later the humans are carjacked by the penguins as they execute “Operation Tourist Trap” for extra supplies to rebuild the plane. However, as they make their getaway, Nana is awoken in the back seat by their “rock n’ roll racket” (Boston’s “More than a Feeling”). The penguins toss her through the windshield without much ceremony, and then, realizing she isn’t dead, reverse the Land Rover and hit her again. Nana, apparently uninjured, leads the rest of the humans off to make camp, saying she doesn’t want to stay out in the open because she’s “too old to die”.

Alex and the rest meet up with a giant group of animals including other lions, hippopotamuses, giraffes and zebras and more. There Alex is reunited with his father and mother. Marty meets an enormous pack of zebras that sound exactly like him, Gloria falls for a hippo named Moto Moto, which means “Hot, hot”, who makes Melman jealous, because he has deep feelings for her. Melman becomes the witch doctor for other giraffes so he can stop his species from dying in holes. Before Alex can join the pride he must complete a challenge, which is scheduled the next day. Makunga now has the chance to become the alpha lion by tricking the returning son.

It is recognized that the primary role of the internet involves dispensing news and information. And the ever growing number of social sites internet users have made clear their preference was for more interaction.

Blogs have risen to be one of the most popular and widely accepted methods used to fill the needs and demands for communicating amongst today’s internet enthusiasts. There is 5 benefits that make blogging so popular:

#1 – The Process is More like Play and Less like Work.
Writing for a blog is less restrictive than many other forms of writing. Blogging tends to be more of a conversation as opposed to a formal presentation. If the post is informative, helpful, or entertaining then it is more likely to be received more favorably. The ability to leave comments and receive responses also allows readers to get more involved in the process. This alone makes it more interesting and satisfying for both reader and blog owner alike.

#2 – Blogging is Easy
If you can write in MS Word you can blog. There exist virtually no technological challenges therefore just about anybody can blog. Interfacing with most blogs is mostly point and click allowing you to add graphics, audio or video easily. Picking and choosing your own layout and theme is just as easy and twice as fun. Your blog look can be changed in a flash and as often as you like.

#3 – Your Blog Can Reflect Your Personality
Your blog layout and also your blogging style can be tailored to reflect your personality or special interests.

#4 – Cost Efficient Advertising
A blog is one of the most cost efficient advertising methods available and a powerful way to gain an internet presence. In a manner of speaking it is cheap. Unless you like to spend money this should be appealing to you. Your only expense with a paid blogging system is the cost of a domain and a hosting service. To establish a blog with a highly respected and popular blogging system such as Wordpress will cost less than $100.00 annually.

#5 – SEO is a Breeze.
If you’re interested in making your site easier to find within the search engines, blogging is the way to go. By posting to your blog frequently you’re encouraging the search engine spiders to ‘crawl’ your site to look for any new entries. As a result this will inevitably boost your rankings since search engines love fresh content.

It is a fun, easy, and economical way to make your presence known on the internet. Happy blogging.

Wladimir Klitschko retained his IBF Heavyweight crown when he finished Hashim Rahman in the seventh round of their 12-round boxing match held at the SAP Arena in Germany a few hours ago. It was Klitschko’s sixth defense of his IBF Crown.

Klitschko, using his powerful left-hand jabs to set up his right powerful punch staggered Rahman with a left hook instead and unleash a series of powerful left and right combination that sent Rahman to near submission. Referee Tony Weeks had to step into the round to stop the fight, obviously to spare Rahman from further beating in the hands of Klitschko. Rahman was knocked down from the previous round.

The two boxers started out faster in the early rounds but Rahman was struggling to cope because of Klitschko’s three inch advantage in height. Klitschko did not throw many punches but they found their targets. Rahman made 207 attempts and landed only 30 against Klitschko’s 369 attempts and landed 179. It was a clear victory for Klitschko. Rahman came in as a replacement for Alexander Povetkin of Russia, the original opponent of Klitschko, who withdrew from the fight because of foot injury.

Rahman, a native of Baltimore USA won the WBC and IBF belts when he defeated Lenox Lewis via KO in the fifth round in 2001 but was later knock out by Lewis in a rematch. For Klitschko, it was his tenth straight victory coming off from his recent 11th round knock out win against Tony Thomson last July 12th in Hamburg, Germany. Klitschcko who is from Ukraine retained his WBO and IBO crowns.

One of the most popular methods to earn money in the internet is to buy and sell products in online auction sites. Items in these auction sites are usually hard to find items and most of the time, they are priced really cheap. What you could do is to browse items and products carefully and sooner or later you will be able to find a good bargain. Once you win it, you could resell it for a higher price, thus you make money fast. The main problem here is that most likely, you will not be the only person who’s trying to win that item.

Another make money fast method in the internet is becoming a freelancer. A freelancer is someone who accomplishes jobs and tasks for different companies.

The more people who frequent your blog then the more websites would advertise with you and you make money fast. However, in this method you would need to optimize your blog with search engine optimizing professionals so it would be easier to find and you get heavier traffic.

Tip #1: Write about what you know
Visitors to your blog are only interested in your blog if your blog has interesting content. Do you stay intrigued in a website if the content is boring? And what better way to make content more exciting than to add content about a topic you know? If you know a lot about motorcycles, start a block about it. Topics can include changing the carburetor or redoing the chrome on the headlights. If the topic is something you know, your writing will flow more naturally and hence read more naturally to visitors. The content will also be more informative and intelligent.

Tip #2 - Stay on topic
Using the motorcycles, your blog should not stray from motorcycle related issues. Do not start talking about the latest real estate news or golf carts. Talk strictly about motorcycle topics. Google AdSense parses the keywords in your blog and uses those keywords to place ads on your blog that are relevant to the content. The aim is to get visitors to click those ads. You want motorcycle readers to click ads on motorcycle topics. Cross topics, such as mixing motorcycle content with real estate and golf carts will result in ads that cover all three or public service ads that pay nothing. Keeping the topic centric on one topic will result in relevant ads.

Tip #3: Quantity over quality?
This may seem counterintuitive. You want visitors to be interested in your site because the content is great. So quality is important, right? But, in order to get visitors, the quantity of content should be large meaning more keywords detected by search engines, which translates to higher spots in search results, right? Well, yes, they are both right. The ideal situation is a lot of high quality content. Although this is not entirely possible all the time, you must have a high quantity of content on your blog because the more content means the more searchable material from search engines. There is a balance that must be met.

Tip #4: Recycle
No news is good news. No news really means nothing new to post on your blog. You do not necessarily need to keep posting new content. That is the perfect circumstance, but there is also a lot of information available on almost every topic ever written on the Internet. Taking that content, rewording it and posting it on your blog is recycling. It is not actually new content, just recycling old content and making it look new. That takes some writing skill but can be learned after practice. That way, you blog will have the appearance of new material and hopefully keep your visitors coming into the future.

Tip #5: Post on a regular schedule.
Our posts have a schedule written on them, usually an “updated every week” bulletin. And guess what? We stick to it. There may not always be new content for such a posting schedule, so you can use the recycling idea. While a weekly schedule is hard to keep (everyone has a family), when you stick to a schedule, visitors can really on updated blog content, and they will return more frequently to your blog, increasing the likelihood of an AdSense click.

Tip #6: Be clear and simple
This is more of a know you audience concept. If talking about motorcycles, using motorcycle jargon is okay. Make your content understandable. Use easy to understand words, and make the format user friendly. You are talking to a large and varied audience, and it should not require an advanced engineering degree from MIT to read a blog. We have seen highly intelligent people be confused over blogs that contain simple topics because the blog was written in a confusing manner, overly wordy, or weirdly formatted. The goal is to get a click, and having a confusing blog will ensure visitors/clickers will not return.

Tip #7: Keywords, keywords, keywords
Google parses through the blog’s content to not only find relevant ads to put on the blog but also to rank the blog in its search results. If your blog is about motorcycle repair, the keyword set “motorcycle repair” should be mentioned at minimum three times every blog post. Google will see the density of those keywords and associate your blog with motorcycle repair sites and include the blog with other motorcycle repair sites or blog when returning search results. This will drive traffic to your blog.

Tip #8: Check your blog for spelling and grammatical errors
All modern word processing software include spell checkers. Many blog sites, including Blogger.com and Wordpress.com , also have spell checkers. We admit that we are not the best spellers, but considering the availability of spell checking tools, there is no reason to have misspelled words on your blog. Checking for grammar may be more difficult, but if you have questions, copy your blog into a word processing program and run a grammar checker. Then repost the grammatically correct blog. Having bad spelling and poor grammar shows a lack of care for your blog and, quite honestly, stupidity. No one wants to read a blog laden with misspelling and poor grammar.

Tip #9: Multiple blogs
Publishing multiple blogs increasing visitor traffic and AdSense clicks. You do not want to post multiple blogs using the same exact content, but you can publish multiple blogs using recycled content. However, your multiple blogs of the same content should not be on the same blogging site. Publish one on Blogger.com and another on Wordpress.com. Publish a third to another blogging site. And, include a link in each blog to the others. It will increase backlinks to your site, therefore increasing page rank, as well as traffic.

Tip #10: Why should I come back?
Getting one visitor to your site is great. Getting two visitors even better. Getting those two visitors to come back is excellent. You want repeat visitors, because they are more likely to spread the news about your blog, increasing traffic. What does it take to get repeat traffic? How about an RSS feed? Or another subscription list? It takes a combination of the tips mentioned above as well as utilizing other methods mentioned on this site to drive traffic to your blog. Traffic is the only way to get clicks on your AdSense ads, and you want traffic.

I’ve been playing FM since about 1993, and now, the Football Manager series enters yet another season, and this year, expectations are higher than ever. Strength in depth has been added with around 80 new features, hype has been spread in a promising pre-season and a new superstar performer - a 3D match engine - has transformed the look of the series.

Other new 3D match engine features include a time bar borrowed from Football Manager Live, allowing you to rewind the action. There’ll also be a new TV-style view that provides full-screen options and a customisable selection of widgets such as player ratings. FM09 will also possess plenty of evolutionary features. Assistant managers will provide exhaustive feedback about how you and the opposition are playing, a feature that hardcore players will no doubt snort at, but one which could prove invaluable to newcomers.

Media interaction is also being revamped, with press conferences taking place before and after each match and when starting out at a new club. Press conferences will involve journalists firing questions at you, to which you’ll respond from a selection of five replies. However, make too many unsubstantiated statements and those pesky journos will quickly and gleefully remind you of your predications should you fail to deliver on your promises. If it all gets too much, you’ll even be able to throw a hissy fit and storm out.

Finally, good news for female fans as for the first time you’ll no longer have to pretend to be a boy (unless you really want to), thanks to a new female manager option. Or should that be manageress?

With more reveals promised over the coming months via a series of podcasts and with a demo in the works (set for public release a few weeks before FM09 ships), there’s more than a little to be getting excited about. After one too many years of evolutionary shuffles, it seems the Football Manager series could be about to take that all important revolutionary leap we’ve all been waiting for.

Barack Obama swept to victory as the nation’s first black president Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. “Change has come,” he told a jubilant hometown Chicago crowd.

The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states — Ohio, Florida, Iowa and more. He captured Virginia and Indiana, too, the first candidate of his party in 44 years to win either.

Obama’s election capped a meteoric rise — from mere state senator to president-elect in four years.

Spontaneous celebrations erupted from Atlanta to New York and Philadelphia as word of Obama’s victory spread. Supporters filled Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House.

In his first speech as victor, to well over 100,000 people in Grant Park in Chicago, Obama catalogued the challenges ahead. “The greatest of a lifetime,” he said, “two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.”

President Bush added his congratulations from the White House, where his tenure runs out on Jan. 20. “May God bless whoever wins tonight,” he had told dinner guests earlier.

Obama, in his speech, invoked the words of Lincoln, recalled Martin Luther King Jr., and seemed to echo John F. Kennedy.

McCain had Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.

He also won at least four of Nebraska’s five electoral votes, with the other one in doubt.
