documentaries online Hey, I hope you guys are all doing well..
Sorry I have not been writing as often as I used to, as I'm totally swamped with things to do.. Just like today, I was trying to search online on the one-child policy in China, and I stumbled upon journeymanpictures' videos. It is essentially an online library of documentaries! I'm not allowed to embed the videos without permission, so I suppose you'll just have to go to youtube to view the video yourself...
Didn't know what image I should put for this entry, so, a world map.. Heh. :-P

This work is entitled: Hunters
By: Banksy, a UK graffiti artist, pretty cool stuff. This one here, happened to be one of his indoor artworks. I thought that it has got a great twist to it. Need I say more?
"Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment. Subjects include animals such as monkeys and rats, policemen, soldiers, children, and the elderly." [taken from Wikipedia, cos I am too tired to use my brain] But his works are great! Just wanna put it here so share with you and also, to ensure that I will return to check his website again..
So, please go to his website to http://www.banksy.co.uk/ to have a look for yourself.

booth and bones talking about real love and sex
Booth: "I'll tell you why. Here we are, all of us, basically alone, separate creatures, just circling each other, all searching for that slightest hint of a real connection. Some look in the wrong places, some, they just give up hope because, in their mind, they're thinking, oh, there's nobody out there for me. But all of us, we keep trying over and over again. Why? Because every once in a while... every once in a while, two people meet and there's that spark, and yes, Bones, he's handsome and she's beautiful, and maybe that's all they see at first. But making love... making love... that's when two people become one."
Bones: "It is scientifically impossible for two objects to occupy the same space"
Booth: "Yeah, but what's important is we try. And when we do it right, we get close"
Bones: "To what? Breaking the laws of Physics?"
Booth: "Yeah, Bones, a miracle..."

ten ways to go green and save money!
This article is taken from this website. I would highly recommend that you go and visit the original page, as there are alot more interesting links which I did not include here.
How can we live lightly on the Earth and save money at the same time? Staff members at the Worldwatch Institute, a global environmental organization, share ideas on how to GO GREEN and SAVE GREEN at home and at work.
ONE - Save energy to save money
+ Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.
+ Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out.
+ Unplug appliances when you're not using them. Or, use a "smart" power strip that senses when appliances are off and cuts "phantom" or "vampire" energy use.
+ Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible. As much as 85 percent of the energy used to machine-wash clothes goes to heating the water.
+ Use a drying rack or clothesline to save the energy otherwise used during machine drying. If you must use a dryer, consider adding dryer balls to cut drying time.
TWO - Save water to save money
+ Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.
+ Install a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much, and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your investment.
+ Make sure you have a faucet aerator on each faucet. These inexpensive appliances conserve heat and water, while keeping water pressure high.
+ Plant drought-tolerant native plants in your garden. Many plants need minimal watering. Find out which occur naturally in your area.
THREE - Less gas = more money (and better health!)
+ Walk or bike to work. This saves on gas and parking costs while improving your cardiovascular health and reducing your risk of obesity.
+ Consider telecommuting if you live far from your work. Or move closer. Even if this means paying more rent, it could save you money in the long term.
+ Lobby your local government to increase spending on sidewalks and bike lanes. With little cost, these improvements can pay huge dividends in bettering your health and reducing traffic.
FOUR - Eat smart
+ If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store-and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.
+ Buy locally raised, humane, and organic meat, eggs, and dairy whenever you can. Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy.
+ Watch videos about why local food and sustainable seafood are so great.
+ Whatever your diet, eat low on the food chain. This is especially true for seafood.
FIVE - Skip the bottled water
+ Use a water filter to purify tap water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it generates large amounts of container waste.
+ Bring a reusable water bottle, preferably aluminum rather than plastic, with you when traveling or at work.
+ Check out this short article for the latest on bottled water trends.
SIX - Think before you buy
+ Go online to find new or gently used secondhand products. Whether you've just moved or are looking to redecorate, consider a service like craigslist or FreeSharing to track down furniture, appliances, and other items cheaply or for free.
+ Check out garage sales, thrift stores, and consignment shops for clothing and other everyday items.
+ When making purchases, make sure you know what's "Good Stuff" and what isn't.
+ Watch a video about what happens when you buy things. Your purchases have a real impact, for better or worse.
SEVEN - Borrow instead of buying
+ Borrow from libraries instead of buying personal books and movies. This saves money, not to mention the ink and paper that goes into printing new books.
+ Share power tools and other appliances. Get to know your neighbors while cutting down on the number of things cluttering your closet or garage.
EIGHT - Buy smart
+ Buy in bulk. Purchasing food from bulk bins can save money and packaging.
+ Wear clothes that don't need to be dry-cleaned. This saves money and cuts down on toxic chemical use.
+ Invest in high-quality, long-lasting products. You might pay more now, but you'll be happy when you don't have to replace items as frequently (and this means less waste!).
NINE - Keep electronics out of the trash
+ Keep your cell phones, computers, and other electronics as long as possible.
+Donate or recycle them responsibly when the time comes. E-waste contains mercury and other toxics and is a growing environmental problem.
+ Recycle your cell phone.
+ Ask your local government to set up an electronics recycling and hazardous waste collection event.
TEN - Make your own cleaning supplies
+ The big secret: you can make very effective, non-toxic cleaning products whenever you need them. All you need are a few simple ingredients like baking soda, vinegar, lemon, and soap.
+ Making your own cleaning products saves money, time, and packaging-not to mention your indoor air quality.
