Dewalt powertools & all the accessories
2007-08-07 06:59:06
               If I had the money I would buy all the Dewalt powertools and accessories ever made.      Dewalt make quality tools and I would customise my garage/workshop so that it would be almost like a second home. I have a big garage with an equally big upstairs lofted area but my financial circumstances don’t stretch to buying Dewalt powertools. My powertools have been purchased in Aldi and Lidl - two rival German discount companies. The tools they ‘offer’ are their own brand, cheap but quite effective for the jobs I do. Lidl’s brand name is ‘Parkside’ while Aldi’s is called ‘Power Craft’. The brand names seem to differ from country to country. In general, I prefer Aldi’s products. They seem to be of a better quality. But they don’t even come close to Dewalt ….. they produce the the best around! Who knows …. someday I may own my first Dewalt powertool ….. Share This

Rush Hour 3 banned in China!
2007-08-10 02:59:11
 Rush Hour 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe3WibMu780 Jackie Chan’s new action comedy sequel ‘Rush Hour 3′ has been banned in China despite his status as a national hero. The Hong Kong-born actor’s film has prompted controversy in recent weeks over a scene where a family involved in organised crime visits Paris. The association with Triad gang members reportedly angered Chinese authorities. The state-run Film Bureau insists, however, that the decision to block the movie’s release was taken for commercial reasons, even though the first two movies in the franchise were box office hits. Xiao Ping, of China Film Group’s import and export department, says: “We think it will not be popular in China.” Under strict rules, only 20 foreign releases a year are permitted in China and many that make it through the censors are severely edited first - like the unflattering portrayal of Chow Yun-fat’s pirate character in ‘Pirates of the

Astronomers have discovered the universe’s largest planet
2007-08-08 13:19:13
Scientists have discovered the universe’s largest known planet . It’s a giant ball made of mostly hydrogen that is 20 times larger than Earth and circling a star 1,400 light years away. Scientists believe the planet is 1.7 times the diameter of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, and has a temperature of 2,300 degrees (1,260 degrees Celsius). Lowell Observatory in Arizona, along with the California Institute of Technology’s Palomar Observatory and telescopes in Spain’s Canary Islands, discovered the planet circling a star in the constellation Hercules. Scientists first spotted the new planet, called TrES-4, last spring. Scientists at Caltech, Harvard University and the WM Keck Observatory in Hawaii later confirmed the discovery. Scientists are also working on the possibility of another planet in the same constellation. Lowell Observatory is best known for the 1930 discovery of Pluto, which since has been demoted from planet status. Share This
