  1. From what I have seen, normally when a person is "losing" the verbal war, they will resort to name calling, as pointed out. Language is nothing more than a form of communication and no language is more superior than the others. Having said that, I got to admit that "lang-ist" (a term I have coined with language + racist) do exist.In my country, to some people, English is associated as being from the up-class of the society. Any other languages, they will see them as being lowly-educated and uncouth. The govt is doing nothing much to change the mindset. But even if they do, this mentality is too embedded into one's conscious that it will take a generation or two to rectify it.


  2. i like it, it has simple and inspired design. the most i liked are your green color in the beginning, it match with the other colors with the whole website and the small litle squares. also it seems containing a lot of useful soccer information. good work.


    Thank you. It was a template from blogger. Since the topic is on soccer, I thought it will be appropriate to use the green. I am glad you like it.

  3. I am trying to run a virtual os on my laptop. When I got into the bios, I cannot find the option for it to turn it on.I have tried running Securable and the result is that the Hardware Virtualization is locked off.I am on Intel Core 2 and Phoneix Bios v1.3508.Does anyone know how could I enable it? Or how can I change the bios in Window XP if it is possible.Thanks in advance.


  4. Chelsea v Aston VillaPortsmouth v Fulham / TottenhamShould Spurs overcome Fulham in the replay, it will mean that Harry Redknapp will be facing the club which he won the FA Cup with in 2008.And Chelsea won their first ever league and fa cup double. What a final it was, with end to end stuff and each team missing a penalty.


  5. In my country, there is an influx of foreigners coming into the working force. In almost every industry, we will get to see plentiful of them. Without a doubt, in some industry, we need them. However in service line like your retailing, we have seen foreigners who cant speak even simple english manning the counter. While many of us can speak in the foreign language like Mandarin, there are also many other who can't. At such, shopping become an unpleasant experience. I will suggest, likewise, a basic test to gauge the language skill of the person before allowing them to come in and work.


  6. Remember the experience I first had in the library, I was intimidated. It was rows and rows of books. And in the air, you can smell the scent of paper. Looking for books then was a tedious experience. Back then, there wasn't any computer for me to search the title I want. I have to go through the rows to search for the relevant books. Either that or the oh-so-unfriendly librarian. It did not left a pleasant taste in my mouth. I quited going to the library till I was older. Then, it was the research for a school project that make me step back into the library. This were better. Computer are installed. Searching is much of a breeze. The librarian, well, I didn't need one anymore.
