Another Olympic Opener Fake

The music director for the Opening Ceremony at the Beijing Olympics has admitted that a young girl who delivered a key performance during the show, lip-synched her song.

Chen Qigang says the pigtailed nine-year-old girl, Lin Miaoke, was actually a stand-in for the real singer who was not considered attractive enough.

The real singer, Yang Peiyi, is seven, and has a chubby face and crooked teeth.

Chen says organizers made the decision at the request of a high-ranking Communist Party official, adding that they were thinking about doing what was best for the nation.

So much fake..but for ultimately for a superb show!

If i were a medal winner during th games, i’de check my medals!!

Olympic Fireworks Were FAKE!

I didnt get to watch the whole opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics but i managed to catch the fireworks which i thought was brilliant! Now this comes up, ->

The global television audience of more than three billion people watched in amazement as a series of giant footprints outlined in fireworks proceeded through the night sky from Tiananmen Square to the Bird’s Nest stadium — except they were watching a computer animation.

Even the giant television screens within the stadium itself broadcast the fake images.

Stunned viewers thought they were watching the string of fireworks filmed from above by a helicopter.

But in reality they were watching a 3D graphics sequence that took almost a year to produce.

It even included a “camera shake” to mimic the effect of filming from a helicopter.

The dupe was revealed by China’s Beijing Times. Speaking to the paper, the man responsible for the animation said he was pleased with the result.

“Seeing how it worked out, it was still a bit too bright compared to the actual fireworks,” Gao Xiaolong told the newspaper.

“But most of the audience thought it was filmed live — so that was mission accomplished.”

The designers even added some haziness to simulate the polluted Beijing skyline.

How about that!! This is taking the whole Olympics to a new level!

NGV Kit Installation

Price of fuel is now is crazy with more than a 40% increase, it cant be easy on anyone’s pockets. NGV is a great alternative to fuel which is a fraction on the price minus the power. From reviews that i have heard from blogs, the power reduction is about 30% but considering the savings, its well worth it.

Petrol price stands at RM2.70 a litre and NGV is priced at only RM0.68 per litre.

However installing NGV is not always the cheapest affair. Let say i were to install NGV on my Hyundai Accent , it would cost me RM5850 for the installation. Of course there are several different standards in NGV installation.Kah Bintang, the distributor of Hyundai cars in Malaysia have started installing NGV in their new cars to help ease the burden and the kinda tanks they are installing?

2nd Generation NGV Systems from lo.gas of Italy
* Imported from Italy with a cylinder that is made of lightweight Type II fiber steel and complies with the ISO-11439 standard.
* It has an Auto-switching function, which will trigger automatically from gasoline to gas after the car’s engine has warmed-up and switching-back to gasoline is possible anytime.

Its recommended to ensure you are installing a NGV kit from a reputable company.Its so new that im not too sure the the safety of having this tank installed is guaranteed. The tanks are normally installed in the booth of your car and most accidents happen there so you want to ensure the tank you are installing would be able to handle it!

Looking forward to install to your car?

Naza Group of Companies may work together with OCBC Bank to offer customers financing for the installation of the natural gas (NGV) facility in cars.

Man United Bag Charity Shield

Neville

Manchester United won the curtain raiser to the English league after they beat Portsmouth 3-1 on penalties. The game which ended in a 0-0 after 90 minutes.The charity shield does not go to extra time but straight to penalties as the tie breaker. It was a very normal 90minutes with both teams playing their first competitive game for the new season.

The new Pompey signing of Peter Crouch who partnered Jermaine Defoe were not at their best and its totally understandable. Carlos Tevez was the best player on the field with his usual lively self making many attempts at goal but the impressive David James didn’t provide him access to the Pompey goal.

Cant wait for the new season to get under way next weekend!!!

User Account Control

UAC or User Account Control is one of the most sickening thing on Vista! I hate it because it keeps appearing whenever you want to do anything! I found this fix which is like a cold glass of water in a desert!!

TweakUAC does NOT require installation, the file is immediately available for use right after you download it.

To download TweakUAC, click this link: Download TweakUAC

(The file is very small, it should take no more than a few seconds to download it, even if you are on a dial-up connection).

Windows should ask you whether you want to run the file or save it to the disk:

After you’ve verified that the proper message (A program needs your permission to continue) is displayed, click on Continue to run TweakUAC.

When you run TweakUAC for the first time, it asks you to confirm that you have read, understood, and accepted all terms of its End User License Agreement:

Quiet mode allows you to still experience the positive effects of UAC but disables the prompts when an application needs administrative rights. In this mode you are giving control back to the computer, and in a sense, the computer is hitting the continue button for you when an application needs administrative rights.

Problem fixed! Yey!
