Revolutionary Road


A movie, based on a novel of Richard Yetes, which was his first novel published in 1961. The novel was acclaimed and it was chosen by Time in the year 2005 as one of the 100 best English Language novels from 1923. Revolutionary Road novel is adopted for film Revolutionary Road in 2008 by Justin Haythe, and the cast include Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio (their first film together after Titanic). The film was released in late December 2008.

The plot of the Revolutionary Road revolves around a couple who are married for quite sometime, April (Kate) and Frank (Leonardo), who were struggling to cope up with the conformity of life and both were a little not satisfied with their relationship. Their marriage life is not as happy as it appeared to the outer world. April wants to be an actress but she couldn’t make it the opportunity she had. Frank was doing a marketing job where his father worked for 20 years and he simply does not like this job. They live in suburbs with two

children. One day, April suggested that they should move to Paris, where she’ll work as a secretary, and it will be good for Frank as he will have free time to learn what he really want to do, hence giving themselves something to cheer about. In the meantime, she was expecting, and she wanted to have an abortion, which Frank did not agree to and he cancels the plan to go to Paris. They have many arguments and she did the procedure of abortion herself, when Frank was at office. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out and later she died in the hospital. Frank moved to the city with the children and that was the end of it. The acting of Kate and Leonardo is perfect, showing how the couple had their little disagreements and volatility between them and how the way they were not satisfied.

Birmingham vs. Chelsea

by: Chelse Daft

How times have changed in recent weeks. A month ago we were flying high and playing well and looked formidable. A couple of niggling injuries but that was about it, and Ancelotti rotating players to keep them fresh. Now we are struggling with injuries, not playing well and to be honest in the last few games I have been saying that we will take any kind of win against sides we should be beating easily and given our form at the beginning of the season. But, something has gone wrong or something has happened in the last few weeks and today is another game where I will take any kind of win today.

What makes things worse is that after today we lose Drogba, Kalou and Mikel to the African Nations cup and Ashley Cole and Ricardo Carvalho are one booking away from a ban!

So its important that we get the three points today in what looks like a really difficult game against a Birmingham side that are on a great run of form and flying high up the table. Credit to Alex McLeish as he has done a great job so far and no doubt Birmingham will be up for the game today bigtime.

Chelsea today will be looking to a different threat to unleash on the opposition today in Daniel Sturridge. For me he looked impressive when he came on against West Ham and his pace will pose anyone problems. Today up front with Drogba could be the time for Sturridge to get on the scoresheet and hit the ground running and take his chance with both hands. With Anelka out today and against Fulham and just Drogba about today Sturridge MUST step up.

When asked about Sturridge, Carlo Ancelotti said:

"He had a problem at the start of the season because he had some injuries and lost physical condition and also his confidence. Now he had one month to work very hard and improved his physical condition and his confidence. Against West Ham he played very well and I am sure that he will do well in the next games and the future. He is very young, 20-years-old and has a lot of quality. He could be a very good played for the future of Chelsea."

At times today I expect us to be under pressure so its important when we have the ball that we play on the strength of Drogba and the pace of Sturridge. If we can get the ball to them as much as possible then the game should be ours. What we need is an early goal to settle us down. If we get an early goal then game over. If we don't we have to be patient.

But like I said I would take any kind of win once more and we look to extend our lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points before the remaining games take place.

Come on the Chels!
CAREFREE & KTBFFH EVERYONE!

Jasper Schuringa subdued alleged terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on Northwest Airlines 235

The passenger who tacked a suspected terrorist Northwest Airlines flight 235 said Saturday he’s “happy” to be alive.

Jasper Schuringa, a video director and producer from Amsterdam, told CNN how helped the cabin crew to subdue Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 23-year-old who reportedly ignited a small explosive device on on board the plane Friday as it prepared to land in Detroit.

Schuringa said he heard a sound that reminded him of a firecracker and someone yelling, “Fire! Fire!”

But he was only sure something was wrong when he saw smoke. Abdulmutallab's pants were open and he was holding a burning object between his legs.

"I pulled the object from him and tried to extinguish the fire with my hands and threw it away," Schuringa said.

He said he screamed for water and pulled Abdulmutallab out of his seat and dragged him to the front of the plane.

Schuringa told CNN that Abdulmutallab seemed out of it and "was staring into nothing."

To ensure Abdulmutalla did not have other explosives on his body, Schuringa stripped off his clothes. He then handcuffed the alleged attacker with the help of a crew member.

Schuringa said the other passengers applauded as he returned to his seat.

He says that he sustained minor injuries during the take down.

"My hands are pretty burned. I am fine," he said. "I am shaken up. I am happy to be here."

Federal law enforcement and airline security sources say Abdulmutallab was immediately taken into custody following the incident and treated for second- and third-degree burns on his thighs.

CNN reports that the Nigerian suspect, a student at the University College London, is 'talking a lot' to the FBI.

The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement that the plane and its baggage were screened after the incident. Security sources told CNN that remains of the device were sent for analysis to an FBI explosives lab in Quantico, Virginia.

Law enforcement and airline security sources told CNN that no other suspicious materials were found and that the suspect only had carry-on luggage.

Passengers on board the flight were also interview by law enforcement before leaving the airport.

Abdulmutallab flew on KLM flight from Lagos, Nigeria, to Amsterdam and reportedly is not on a "no fly" list, though he is on a U.S. database of people with suspected terrorist connections.

Although there is no evidence that he is a trained member of Al Qaeda, the Nigerian national reportedly claimed linked to extremists. A federal security document obtained by CNN further revealed that his explosive device "was acquired in Yemen along with instructions as to when it should be used."

From his holiday vacation in Hawaii, President Obama told security advisers "that all appropriate measures be taken to increase security for air travel," White House spokesman Bill Burton told CNN.

Eminem Died


Is it true that the American rapper Eminem has died in a car acceident?Well, the truth is...its just a death hoax. Its a rumor which is circulating that he has died. The fake celebrity death circuit even don’t have any break during holidays. According to the rumor Eminem died in a car accident because he was using cell phone while riding in his car that’s why he couldn’t pay attention to the upcoming truck.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III, which is known by his stage name Eminem, was born on October 17, 1972. He gained popularity through his debut album “The Slim Shady LP” in 1999. Eminem won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album for his debut album. Now people are searching information about him on internet because they want to know the reality.His fans will be happy to know that Eminem is not dead, he is well and alive.

Charlie Sheen got arrested: his wife Brooke Mueller Sheen, was given a breath test.

The sad Christmas tale of Charlie Sheen arrested and charged with a reported two felonies and one misdemeanor charge of domestic violence against his wife Brooke Mueller Sheen in Aspen, Colorado is gaining clarity.


After accounts that Charlie Sheen would not be able to post bond after his arrest, TMZ.com reports that he paid $8,500 after talking to a county judge. He's out of jail.

Moreover, his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen, was given a breath test to determine the level of alcohol in her body relative to her blood; the percentage was .13. By contrast, Charlie Sheen was given the same test and posted .04. TMZ wrote that law enforcement sources say Brooke Mueller Sheen was "legally drunk" when she called 911.

In a way, this is beginning to read like the Tila Tequila / Sean Merriman incident all over again. In that case, an intoxicated Tila Tequila called 911 reporting that Sean Merriman allegedly assaulted her. The San Diego County District Attorney dropped the case after witnesses and Merriman claimed he was trying to stop her from driving while drunk.

The difference here is there are no reported witnesses as of this writing, just Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller Sheen.

Charlie Sheen said Brooke Sheen was the agressor and he was trying to defend himself. Again, that's very similar to the Tila Tequila / Sean Merriman disagreement.

Singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt is dead


Wheelchair-bound singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt has died, according to reports. The Athens, Georgia-based musician was 45 years old.

Earlier today, Chesnutt was in a coma, allegedly due to an overdose of muscle relaxers. Don Wilkie, co-owner of Chesnutt’s label, Constellation Records, said Thursday afternoon, “Vic is in the middle of a serious medical condition. He is in a coma, but we have no statement about the specifics of the situation. His family and friends are with him. His doctors are continuing to assess his condition.”

Sadly, the gifted musician, paralyzed since the age of 18, never regained consciousness and passed away several hours later.

Michael Stipe of R.E.M. produced Chesnutt's first two albums in the early '90s, which were followed by over a dozen more, with two, At the Cut and Skitter On Take-Off, in the past year alone. Not only was Chesnutt a quadriplegic, all of his immediate family died by the time he was 25, he had a longtime struggle with substance abuse, and owed over $50,000 in medical bills. In an interview with NPR's Terry Gross, he claimed to have attempted suicide four times in the past.

Fellow musician Kristen Hersh had reported that Chesnutt had attempted suicide, but this remains unconfirmed. At 10:30 p.m. Eastern time, she tweeted, "can't see through the tears."
