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 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.
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.
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.

Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal is just a step away from realising her goal of becoming the world's numero uno player as she jumped one place to a career-best second in the latest international rankings.
"I am very happy to achieve the world number two so soon in my career. The last three wins have really helped me. It is a great feeling but I feel my priority still will be to win more tournaments for India rather than focusing on ranking," Saina said.
"It will be difficult to hold on to the ranking but I hope to continue my hard work and win more titles and become the number one player soon," said the Hyderabadi shuttler, who is down with fever and cold.
The 20-year-old Saina made a meteoric rise following her back-to-back title triumphs at the India Open Grand Prix and the Singapore Open Super Series, reaching the world number three last month.
And after the Indian defended her Indonesian Open Super Series crown to complete her hat-trick of titles, it was just a matter of time that she jumped to the second place.
By virtue of the consecutive title wins, Saina now has 64791.2637 points and is just behind Chinese Yihan Wang, while Xin Wang of China is in the third place.
Saina's father Harvir Singh also expressed happiness and hoped her daughter can continue her good work for the country.
"God has been kind. It is a marvellous achievement. I hope she can continue to work hard and win more laurels for the country," Harvir Singh said.
In March, Saina had attained the fifth position after becoming the first Indian woman to reach the semifinals of the prestigious All England Super Series Championships.
However, she dropped to the sixth position in the subsequent weeks.
Saina's next engagement will be in the World badminton Championship in Paris next month, before playing the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games.
In the men's ranking, the Indian trio of Chetan Anand, P Kashyap and Arvind Bhatt were at 15th, 25th and 27th spot respectively, while mixed doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and V Diju were static at the seventh place.
In this golden boot race, few of the players in the top ranking where missing in this spot.
before the start of world cup 2010, most of the curators predicts that some of the big names will be going to win the golden boot and most of the TV channels also praise Messi (Agr), C.Ronaldo (Por), W.Rooney (Eng)
At the end all these big names are missing in the spot even they are not close to the winner.
They were not in the top five too so this time also all the prediction was gone wrong.
The maximum chance to win the golden boot only to two players
1.David Villa (Esp)2.Wesley Sneijder (Ned)
This status is only up to before finals i.e 10.07.2010.The Golden boot can be get by any of the Netherlands player or Spain players if they score more than five...
The most favorite for the golden boot listed below by there spot in the race:
Fellows this post is about Jim Carrey, though I like to post biography of him in here I will start with Jim and Jenna’s split. For I always have the question why biography has to start with early life of the person lets go in reverse and also of I’m the author, I can have my own rules here.
I have to start this remarking split as descent clean split of love bonding, of course they are not married while some sources said they are entering into an engagement, obliviously now they are now marked as rumors .
It was on April that Jim twittered message “Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship. I’m grateful 4 the many blessings we’ve shared and I wish her the very best! S’okay! Msg is shown below
Jenna too sent message of same kind “I will continue to be in his daughter’s life and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart.” her message is shown below.
Sources said people would have never known the break up if it was not texted stating “You would never have known that the break up had just happened. Jim is a constant professional “and also added”Jim was loose and relaxed. It was a lot of fun,”
As the cause for their split is unkown, Let’s use our god given brain to analyse and find out the possibilities We all know the recent film he is doing titled “I Love You Phillip Morris,” a dark comedy with him acting as gay with Ewan McGregor is indefinitely delayed, because of being too much adult content. So my calculation, to promote the film where one starred as gay must not allowed to have a girlfriend ,according to gay rules.The other possibility is he have taken the character too much into him. Just a journalistic brain trying to find some answers for the split nothing personnel. You got any more possibilities comment on this post then, genius!
Though Jim was happy dumping Jenna and she too, only on twitter message for her behavior says she didn’t took it well, for Jenny McCarthy is closing her well-known school for autistic children, Teach2Talk Academy which she started to help children’s who were born like her son. She even stated in a magazine “I’m proud to say [the school] is an absolute success in terms of the amount of progress children with autism are making. We do have a goal to open more schools around the country. If I had Bill Gates‘money, I would have them in every state.”

No academy for his roles in 20 year. as he never attracted the critics from his first films but attracted many audiences who are according to me are the real and true judges of entertainment, bought him many million dollars checks. Though through serious role in The Trueman Show, Number 24, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind attracted critics, only enough, to make him nominated for academy award not more than that. That is why Jack Nicholson (who in the first 20 years of his career had five) has named Carrey the “Jack Nicholson” of the next generation.
In 1987 Carrey married Comedy Store waitress and actress Melissa Womer with whom he has a daughter, Jane Erin Carrey. .Then after the film Carrey was carried away by the dumb and dumber actress Lauren Holly obviously dated her and married her in 1996 after an official divorce with the former. Then later was divorced in 1997 after then he lost belief in marriages as he started dating and dumping women .Rumor in 2006 was mentioned that he has dated model Anine Bing. Then dated actress Renée Zellweger, whom he met during filming of Me, Myself & Irene, but their relationship ended in a broken engagement in December 2000. From twitter , we can understand he loved his daughter Jane Erin Carrey very much as he twittered that he is very proud of becoming grandpa, when her daughter gave birth to her son
The Canadian born actor son of musician father and homemaker mother who has some French blood from his ancestor started his career as a standup comedian, made his way into the movies purely of his talent (you know his talent I’m for sure otherwise you won’t be reading this) He even once quoted “If my career in show business hadn’t panned out I would probably be working today in Hamilton, Ontario at the Dofasco steel mill.” When looking across the BurlingtonBay toward Hamilton, he could see the mills and thought, “those were where the great jobs were.” Spoken like a true hero when we come through these lines. So folks that all about him that I could gather anything more you wanna add comment me.
