Felt in the Christchurch area.

A state of emergency was declared in New Zealand's second largest city of Christchurch today after a powerful 7.0 earthquake caused widespread damage. Christchurch residents said the walls of their homes "wobbled like jelly" when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked New Zealand's second largest city

early Saturday.

The force of the quake, one of the most powerful recorded in the country, tore jagged fissures in the ground and destroyed the facades of buildings, littering the city's streets with bricks and shards of glass.
Markham McMullen, a school principal at Darfield, near the quake's epicentre, said it felt like a train had hit his house, creating a jolt that threw him and his wife out of bed.
"It just kept coming, it went and on and on," he said.
"It was absolutely terrifying. We grabbed our daughter, Sophie, from her room and crouched under a doorway. The TV was flying around the room... it was very scary."
Old buildings were the worst affected, with entire facades of brick structures collapsing onto the street, crushing cars under tonnes of debris and leaving kitchens and living rooms exposed, many eerily untouched by the surrounding chaos.
At Castle Rock, a rugged outcrop just outside the city, the earthquake sent boulders bigger than cars tumbling down the hillside.
Only two people were seriously injured, but Civil Defence officials said the toll would have been much worse had the quake hit in daylight, when there would have been thousands of people on the streets.
"We've been extremely lucky as a nation that there's been no fatalities ... we're blessed actually," Civil Defence Minister John Carter said.
Hotelier Richard Hawes said he thought he was going to die as his 130-year-old building shook. "(It) wobbled like a jelly," he said.
Aftershocks continued to rattle the city of around 340,000 throughout Saturday, as dazed residents assessed the damage.
Police pleas for people to stay away from the city centre were ignored, with thousands of sightseers flocking to the worst-hit areas, many recording the moment on their mobile phones.
"Honestly, the scale of it is quite astonishing," Frances Adank, who lives in the suburb of St Albans, told Radio New Zealand.
"The city council I think is going to be working for days to get the water mains sorted out... There's just water pouring out of every front section."
In the same suburb, Marsha Witehira said she had a narrow escape when a friend pulled her from her bed moments before the wall of her house collapsed on top of it.
"He saved my life, no doubt about it... if I had been there, I would have smashed my head," she told the Christchurch Press newspaper.

The Expendables

The Expendables is a 2010 American ensemble action-war film written by David Callaham and Sylvester Stallone, and directed by Stallone. Filming began on March 28, 2009, in Rio de Janeiro, New Orleans, and Los Angeles, and the film was released on August 13, 2010.
The film is about a group of elite mercenaries, tasked with a mission to overthrow a South American dictator. When their informant is arrested in the process due to the team leader's initial denial, the team eventually decides to gain redemption by completing the mission. It pays tribute to the blockbuster action films of the 1980s and early 1990s, and stars an array of action veterans from those decades, including Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger (the latter two in cameo roles), as well as more recent stars such as Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, and Steve Austin.
Although the film received mixed reviews from critics, it was commercially successful, opening at number one at the U.S. box office.
Plot
A group of elite mercenaries, the Expendables, has been deployed to the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia to halt local pirates from executing the hostages. The team consists of Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), former SAS soldier and blades specialist, Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), martial artist Yin Yang (Jet Li), sniper Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), weapons specialist Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) and demolitions expert Toll Road (Randy Couture). Ross pays the original agreement of $3 million to secure the release of the hostages. However, the leader demands $5 million, and Jensen instigates a firefight, causing casualties for the pirates. With moral disagreements over hanging a pirate, Yang and Jensen have a brief fight, only for Ross to intervene. In the aftermath, Ross reluctantly releases Jensen from the Expendables due to psychological problems.
Ross then goes to a church, where he and his rival, Trench (Arnold Schwarzenegger) meet "Mr. Church" (Bruce Willis), who offers them a mission in Vilena, a fictional South American country, to overthrow a brutal dictator, General Garza (David Zayas). Busy with other things, Trench gives the contract to Ross. Ross and Lee Christmas do initial reconnaissance after meeting with their contact, Sandra (Gisele Itié), only for the mission to go awry. Ross learns that Garza is backed by ex-CIA agent James Munroe (Eric Roberts), and henchmen Paine (Steve Austin) and Wickham, a.k.a. The Brit (Gary Daniels), who control Garza by making his people fear him. Sandra is revealed to be Garza's daughter. Ross then decides to abort, and causes casualties among the army as they escape, but feels guilt for leaving Sandra behind. Meanwhile, Jensen approaches Garza and Munroe, identifying his former comrades.
Ross, Yang, and Christmas find information about Munroe, and Ross guesses that "Mr. Church" is a member of the CIA. He thinks that Church hired them to kill Garza and Munroe, since the CIA could not. Ross has a conversation with former teammate and now mission coordinator, Tool (Mickey Rourke), about why he can't stop thinking about Sandra. Tool makes an emotional revelation about an experience in Bosnia where, after killing tons of Serbian fighters, he had decided not to stop a woman from killing herself, an action that he regrets as he feels if he had saved her, he could've saved what was left of his soul. After hearing Tool's story, Ross decides to go back for Sandra. Ross initially decides to go alone, but Yang tags along. Munroe's men and Jensen tail Ross and Yang, instigating a shootout during a car chase. Just as the pursuit ends in an abandoned warehouse, Yang and Jensen fight each other a second time. Jensen eventually gets the upper hand and attempts to impale Yang on a pipe, only for Ross to shoot Jensen before he does. Believing that he is going to die from his gunshot wound, Jensen gives the layout of Garza's palace to Ross in an attempt to make amends. Ross and Yang board the team's plane where they find Christmas, Ceaser, and Road, who've decided to fight alongside Ross.
The Expendables then infiltrate Garza's compound, with Ross bent on rescuing Sandra, while Christmas, Yang, Caesar, and Toll Road plant explosive charges throughout the site and prepare for battle. When Garza has a change of heart after hearing of the team's reputation, Munroe kills him. Ross briefly rescues Sandra, but she is re-captured by Munroe. The entire team fights and shoots their way through scores of Garza's soldiers. Ross and Caesar manage to destroy the helicopter Munroe was to escape on, and Christmas, Yang and Road kill Paine and The Brit. Ross and Christmas catch up to Munroe and kill him, while also managing to save Sandra. Instead of taking the payment of $5 million, Ross decides to give it to Sandra in order to help restore Vilena.
The film ends with the team celebrating their victory at the team headquarters, disguised as Tool's Tatoo Parlor, with former teammate, Tool, aswell as the reformed Jensen and Yang having reconciled with each other. Lee and Tool challenge each other to a game of knife throwing. Before his final throw, Lee recites a poem about his respect for Tool, who he claims cannot beat him in knife throwing as he walks outside of the bar before turning to make his throw, which lands perfectly in the center of the board. As the credits role, The Expendables ride off on their motorcycles into the night.

Greatest moments of Murali

Muttiah Muralitharan has said that retiring after taking his 800th wicket and helping Sri Lanka win his farewell Test, against India in Galle, was one of the greatest moments in his life. Murali's 800th was the last Indian wicket in the follow-on, after which Sri Lanka chased the target of 95 without losing a wicket.

"I am very happy that God has given me everything - eight wickets, a victory, basically everything. This is one of the greatest moments in my life, retiring this way," Murali said. "I am not emotional in a way, frankly, I am happy that I have done it. I trained really hard. Even last week, I trained hard to play in this Test match and take it very seriously."

Murali had to wait and toil for his 800th wicket, that of Pragyan Ojha, but he said the landmark was just a number and achieving it was not a high priority. "Eight hundred is only a number. We wanted to get the wickets quickly. You never know in Galle, with the weather, winning the match was the important thing," he said. "At that time I didn't think about it, but it came in the end. I wouldn't have minded if it didn't come. My only scare was when Lasith Malinga had to go off the field.

"I told my captain [Kumar Sangakkara] to somehow get the wickets. We knew the situation in Galle and had the match ended in a draw it would have been very sad. I badly wanted to win in my final Test. We all play for a win. At that moment we would have taken even a run out. It was hard work for the spinners. The wicket had something on it yesterday, and Malinga's magnificent yorkers made the difference."

Murali also said that he had quit Test cricket at the right time, with Sri Lanka having younger spinners rising through the ranks. "I have played for 18 years and I thought that there are three other good spinners in the side," he said. "They are 24-25 years old and I am 38. I thought it's better to give them a chance. I have nothing more to achieve and I thought this is the right time.

"I chose to finish my career at the end of the first Test because I know my knees are not going to last to bowl 50-60 overs. If I am there it will be four spinners and only two can play. I will be blocking the place of another young spinner."

Murali also had praise for the curator at Galle, Jayananda Warnaweera, and thanked him for helping make his farewell memorable. "Galle is one of my favourite grounds because there is always a result. Warnaweera prepares good wickets and we won the match in four days. He gave me a good farewell and the way he decorated the stadium was unbelievable."

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 With Bluetrack Technology

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 is a wireless mouse and feature wise, this pointer is quite similar to Explorer Mini but it costs less. Priced at $40 the Wireless 4000 is based on Microsoft’s latest Bluetrack sensing technology. Bluetrack sensor lets you use the mouse on a wide range of surfaces which are quite challenging to traditional laser mice. If you are looking for good ergonomics, then this mouse is probably not for you. On the bright side, I thought that this mouse takes care of lots of issues that made us balk at its predecessor. That said, get this pointer if you are looking for a good travel mouse.

Click here to see Mouse from other angles

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 has a simple plug and play interface and installing it is quite easy. All you have plug in the mouse and you are ready to go. You get a ‘Nano Transceiver’ for the mouse which must be plugged in the computer while the mouse is being used. It is really tiny but there is a compartment beneath the mouse for storing it so you won’t lose it easily while traveling. Close to this compartment, you have the power switch which conserves the battery power when the mouse is not in use. The device runs on AA battery and according Microsoft, a single battery will power the mouse for around ten months provided you turn it off when you are not using it. There is a battery status LED on the top.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 comes with software called Intellipoint 7 and it works on both Windows and Apple computers. You also get to program the buttons using this software but we thought the mouse worked pretty well on its internal settings too. So you won’t have much to complain about even if you don’t have the installation disc. Previously we reviewed the Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse but it couldn’t be used comfortably by left handers. There were curves on the other side which prevented good ergonomics for lefties. On the flip side, the Mobile Mouse 4000 has an ambidextrous design which means it can be used by left and right handed persons with equal comfort. The mouse is covered in textured plastic for better grip.

Between the standard two mouse buttons of the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000, there is a scroll wheel. It moves both sideways and up and down. I had one thing to complain in here, the vertical scroll didn’t have any tactile feed back unlike the horizontal scroll which gave a click. Ratcheted scroll wheel is much preferred here. The dial of this pointer is very smooth but it doesn’t awkward sometimes. To activate the Windows Vista Flip 3D, just use the scroll button. All the windows will get arranged in a stack with this.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000’s unique selling point is its BlueTrack Technology which runs on almost any surface. Traditional mice, compared to this, have serious limitations. We tried using this moues on a variety of surfaces like tabletops, carpets, etc and it did live up to the promises. This mouse won’t run on glass, we tried this, the cursor moved inaccurately. The wireless range stays alive for about thirty feet so you can go to a distance using this mouse.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 has a length of 4.04 inches and its width is 2.39 inches. The mouse is quite tiny and hence it will easily fit in your laptop bag.

Women's reaches their peak beautiful at 31

They are no doubt the fair sex, but women look most beautiful at the age of 31, a new study has claimed.
Researchers have found that women in their late 20s and early 30s are considered more attractive than fresh-faced 18 and 19-year-olds -- and they reach the peak of their beauty at the age of 31.
The findings, from a survey of the opinions of over 2,000 men and women, found that beauty was as much rooted in personality as appearance, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.
When asked when women are at their most attractive, more people picked 31 than any other age. Beauty was defined as being confident by 70 per cent of respondents, having good looks by 67 per cent and being stylish by 47 per cent.
