Sir Alex Ferguson's 20 years at Manchester United

Alex Ferguson has revolutionized Manchester United.

We had been in the doldrums for years under various different managers.

Everyone knew Manchester United was the biggest club - they always had the biggest gates but didn't get the results to show.

It was a club that had really good players but didn't play to its best potential.

When you have a lot of really important players you need a really important manager.You have to have a boss. Matt Busby was the boss, Bill Shankly was the boss, Brian Clough was the boss and I thought Alex Ferguson was a boss.

He lives the game and if he loses his temper it is only for the right reasons.

If he has to tear some strips off people that is the way it has to be. That is what makes him different to all the others.

To get best out of players you have to be in charge. I always felt before Alex came to Manchester United he was the boss, he was certainly the boss of Aberdeen and he did fantastic things for them.

When we got the opportunity to go for him we went for it and never regretted it.It was said in the early stages that he was under pressure from the board - he was never ever under pressure from our board.

We knew we had the right man and he was doing the right things and we knew he would eventually come right.

There was a period where we played in the FA Cup and the media had been saying after almost every match that if we lose this match Alex will be on his way.

It was nonsense - he was never on his way but when we did win that FA Cup it was just the start.

He always said being second was not good enough, you had to be first. What he meant was winning the FA Cup was not as important as winning the title. That was the main thing.

He brought in players and has produced players over a period of 20 years.

He has given Manchester United the most fantastic ride. For supporters of Manchester United it has never been boring.We have had fantastic players who have come and gone and he has made Manchester United what we always thought it was - number one.

- By Sir Bobby Charlton (Man Utd legend and director)

West Hollywood Halloween Carnival

I was at one of the World's biggest Halloween party last night at Santa Monica Blvd between San Vicente and Doheney Dr. I had never before seen anything like this , more than 300,000 people dressed in various Halloween costumes. Check out more Halloween pictures at my website....


This was the Halloween Costume Party to end all parties. It was the ultimate block party -- and that's saying a lot for Los Angeles.

Halloween night Santa Monica Blvd. is closed down in West Hollywood and turned over to the the wildness of imagination. I saw some of the most electrifying, strangest, daringest, gaudiest costumes to dare to strut down a public street. With more than 300,000 people no wonder its been titled "the largest Halloween street party in the world."

Most stores were open late and the food was amazing. It was a great place to come and play... you never know who or what you will see.

Gmail Login Page MAC Look

To Get This :

1) Dowload Stylish Extension from Mozilla Add On's.

2) Install Gmail Log In Screen

3) Reload www.gmail.com

Change the way Gmail looks at you

If you like whats below click here to follow step by step instructions on how you can have these features

USE COLOR LABELS
"Gmail doesn't allow folders, only color-coded labels." Ignoring the folders vs. labels debate for now, this sentence is not actually true, since labels in Gmail cannot be color-coded. This script adds that functionality, since it turns out to be very useful (if used sparingly, otherwise too many colors can get overwhelming). To specify a color, simply rename a label to "Labelname #color" (e.g. to make the label "Foo" be red, use "Foo #red" and to make the label "Bar" be orange-ish, use "Bar ##d52"). It works in a similar way to the conversation bubble script, in that it overrides the JavaScript function through which Gmail receives data. It has to jump through some hoops to avoid the HTML escaping that Gmail does; intrepid Greasemonkey hackers may want to look at the source.

GMAIL Drive

Download GMAIL Drive Here

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google Gmail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.

Ever since Google started to offer users a Gmail e-mail account, which includes storage space of 2000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your Gmail account and retrieve them again.

When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the Gmail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.

You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag'n'drop like you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Because the Gmail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish to create a filter in Gmail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the GMAILFS letters in the subject) to your archived mail folder.

Heard of Ms. Dewey Search Engine

If I said to go search for something online, 95% of us would go to Google, search and be done in a second. What if I told you that now search has a human face, and some are saying a "sexy" face, though I really don't see it like that. I would call it more cheesy, overdone, melodramatic and dumb (not sexy). Heard of Ms. Dewey? The new humanized search engine is full of dumb jokes and makes you wait extra long for very mediocre search results with nearly no UI to scroll down the page of results once you finally get them. Not to mention the horrible 30 seconds to a minute site loading time, which in my "I-love-my-super-fast-Google-search-world" is just unacceptable.

Make your own WEB 2.0 Company

1) Go to Buzzphrase Generator for some excellent catchphrases with which to litter your site and marketing materials.
2) Name your new Web 2.0 site with Web 2.0 Company Name Generator.3) Go get yourself a snazzy logo with the Web 2.0 Logo Generator.
4) Dont forget to post your Contact information.
5) Keep trying till Google or Yahoo calls you.

What does your browser reveal about you?

I often tend to judge people based on the type of browser they use. Believe it or not, the choice of your favorite browser reveals a lot about your personality.

IE 5.0:
You only use your computer for IM, email and Myspace. You stubbornly refuse to upgrade that ancient Win 98 box that you are using because you don’t need some fancy computer and in your opinion the one you have works just fine. You also probably don’t use antivirus or antispyware either. You just let your son/nephew/friend clean it out every month or so.

IE 6.0:
You probably don’t know what a “browser” is and you think Internet is IE. You have no clue about technology, and you are generally afraid of computers. You also use your machine only for IM, chat, email and myspace. Your friends keep telling you about that “Fried Fox” thingy but you don’t really understand this stuff and never really had time to look into it.

IE 7.0:
You consider yourself to be on the cutting edge of technology. You think that Microsoft is the greatest company on the earth, and that this evil “Lenoux” operating system is made by terrorists. You have a poster of Steve Ballmer on your wall, and you want to be like Bill Gates when you grow up. When you think about Vista you get goosebumps and shiver with excitement.

Firefox 1.x:
You are most likely a little bit geeky and proud of it. You are a strong supporter of the Open Source movement, and you think that RMS is “the man”. You really don’t care if FF is faster, or safer than IE - you would use it even if it performed 10 times worse. You are just happy that you have a free, open source browser with a huge community that is supporting it. At any given time you have installed at least 7 extensions that you couldn’t live without.

Firefox 2.0 Beta:
You are a developer by day and open source developer by night. Either that, or a huge Firefox fan. You are all over Bugzilla reporting all the issues you encounter with the browser. You have probably summited at least one patch to an open source project at some point in your life. You love to tinker with your applications, and you don’t mind running beta software on your machine. After all, it is fun to discover new bugs, and to work little kinks out of the new cutting edge programs.

Mozilla:
You have been with Mozilla since the begging. You think that Firefox is really over-hyped and you prefer the old school Netscape like environment much better. You don’t think the Moz Suite is bloated - you actually like having a mail client, irc client, and a web editor embedded in the browser. You don’t understand why people would pick a browser with less features. In all other aspects you are much like a Firefox user - you love Open Source, you are fond of your extensions and etc… Actually, no - you would rather say that Firefox users are much like you in their tastes. After all, you were using an awesome gecko powered browser while they were still struggling with their IE or whatever.

Opera:
You really don’t care for they Firefox hype. What you want is the best browser there is - and for you that’s Opera. You actually used to pay them when the browser was ad supported. If a Firefox fanboi starts talking smack about your browser you quickly shoot him down by proposing the ACID2 test. You know what you want (a fast, standards compliant browser) and you know where to get it. Browser wars do not interest you at all, although you kinda hope that Firefox wins so that fewer web developers make IE only pages.

Netscape 8.x:
You are a senior citizen, who just recently got a new computer. You don’t really understand anything about the internets, but you distinctly remember that you must have Netscape to run them. You can’t understand all that talk about Internet Explorator and Firesomething, and you have no clue what Oprah has to do with the internets. All you know is that you need to click on that big N to get to the “onlines”. You think that Senator Steven’s speech about net neutrality made a lot of sense. You also sent out an internet one day, and the other person haven’t received it for days.

Netscape 7 and below:See IE 5.0.

Top 2006 Manchester Utd Transfer Target

Following the sale of Ruud van Nistelrooy, United have been linked with some of the world's finest strikers as potential replacements.

Argentine wunderkind Carlos Tevez and Brazilian superstar Adriano are the latest big names tipped to be the subject of Sir Alex Ferguson's interest, while Fernando Torres is allegedly still arousing interest despite insisting that he will stay in Spain.
