From The New York Times:

For the second time in three months, a former high-ranking official at China’s top food and drug watchdog agency has been sentenced to death for corruption and approving bogus drugs, according to the state-run news media.
Cao Wenzhuang, who until 2005 was in charge of drug registration approvals at the State Food and Drug Administration, was accused of accepting over $300,000 in bribes from two pharmaceutical companies and helping undermine the public’s confidence in an agency that is supposed to be safeguarding the nation’s health.

Game of the Week : Open Arena

The game for this weekend is called Open Arena which is a Open Source version of Quake III Arena released just a few weeks ago in a new version. The game does not try to rebuild every inch and corner of Quake III but is still a pretty solid remake of the original game with technical advancements such as higher texture resolution and polygons in the character models.

You can play single player against bots or multiplayer against human opponents. Various game modes such as Capture The Flag or Death Match can be selected. The game is fast, has some servers with good pings available and is in my opinion one of the better games that are available freely on the web.

Snape Dies :(

I just finished reading my scanned copy of the final Harry potter
and snape dies , the last chapter that i have published is true

Damn you JK, that was the lamest ending ever ! you have killed My inner small child

some more info

Harry is the final horcrux and needs to die before Voldemort can be killed

Harry and Ginny Weasley have three children named James, Albus Severus, and Lily

Ron and Hermione have two children named Rose and Hugo. Draco Malfoy has a child named Scorpius.

R.A.B. are the initials of Regulus Arcturus Black (brother of Sirius Black)

Voldemort kill Snape, believing this will transfer the Elder wand’s power to him. As he dies, Snape gives up memories to Harry, which reveal that Snape was on Dumbledore’s side ( super lame)

Voldemort with no remaining horcruxes killed by attempting to use the Elder Wand when his Death Curse against Harry is deflected back at him by the Elder Wand itself

the last thing in the book is “The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”

لان الرغيف يحب الجمال

الرغيف العجيب..

رغيفنا هو نتيجة تمازج خبز المربى مع نجوم سحرية سقطت من السماء الى فرن العم الفران فخرج الرغيف العجيب طفلا صغيرا واهتم به العم الفران مع مساعدته عسل

رغيف حنون وطيب القلب ويحب مساعدة الاخرين دائما ولو اقتضى ذلك ان يعطيهم قطعة من وجهه المليء بالمربى

العدو اللي يفترض انه قوي وذكي وشرير هو اساسا مخلوق غريب الشكل اسمه

Civilization IV Beyond The Sword-RELOADED

It’s been just a few minutes since release groups ITWINS and RELOADED pre’d the PC version of Beyond The Sword the second expansion pack for Sid Meier’s Civilization IV. Both groups managed to release the game in quick succession of each other with RELOADED’s release being the one that most will want as of course it is cracked, no emulation of the copy protection needed.

Being an expansion the original Civ IV game is required to play. You can also play this with OR without Warlords.

The expansion will focus on the late-game time periods after the invention of gunpowder and will deliver 12 challenging and decidedly different scenarios created by the development team at Firaxis Games, as well as members of the Civilization Fan Community. Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword will also include ten new civilizations, 16 new leaders, five new wonders, and a variety of new units that will offer even more fun and exciting ways for players to expand their civilization’s power as they strive for world domination.

What men wish women would know and understand

i found this on couple of sites, they r pretty meaningful, have fun reading them

List of What Men Want Women to Know About Men.

We always hear “the rules” from the feminine side.
Now you get to hear the guys’ point of view.
These are our rules!
Please note…these are all numbered “1” ON PURPOSE.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down.
2. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!
3. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
4. Do not ask us what we are thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, and NASCAR.
5. Shopping is NOT a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way.
6. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
7. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work. Strong hints do not work. Obvious hints do not work. Just say it!
8. We don’t remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.
9. Most guys own three pairs of shoes – tops. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
10. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
11. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do.
12. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
13. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
14. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
15. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.
16. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
17. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
18. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
