Dominic De Silva The Real Believer of God

Life is too short, a saying which clearly means that all of us should value and use life in proper and right way. Yes we can say that sometimes our life today has no value after all because of many trials and circumstances we encounter most especially poor people or the weak one. Well, everyone of us ave each failures in life but it doesn't mean that we will automatically surrender and lose hope, instead accept the mere fact that you failed in that time and try to think and make a good decision that could be the solution of your problem. There are a lot of people whose life were miserable life for example, the criminals, do you think they didn't have any conscience in doing crimes?
Yes we can say that they are bad and must have the punishment to jail for lifetime but did we ever think and try to put in our minds that they are also human being who makes mistakes? Maybe, they have many problems they encounter now a day in their lives, like the status of our country now. Our population is increasing but the main problem is that the job remains constant, it can never provides and supply all our needs. In addition, all of us wants to survive and supply our needs, so in conclusion, I myself would say that criminals just want to live but they are just doing and using it in a wrong way. But it's not the end, they have a time to make change. I mean nobody's perfect, even a genius themselves got mistakes in performing such inventions and experiments. They take many trials so that they could have and accomplish perfect inventions. We should always remember that God forgives and helps. Good example for this were Adam and Eve, they were the first human creations of God after creating the earth and other creatures. They were assigned to take care of his creations and also He told them that they can do whatever they want except not eating the forbidden fruit of good and evil. But sad to say they disobeyed God.
That's the main reason why human suffer here on earth because of their sin. But God is a forgiven God. So, we should accept God in our lives as our personal Lord and Savior. Then we can say that our life is valuable because He is always there on us. Aside from that, humans especially the teenagers now a day ecnounter problems in life specifically about love. In entering a relationship we should accept that there is an end. Some broken hearted people can't easily accept it especially if they give their all for the one they loved. And thought that the best solution is to make a suicide which is very bad and wrong. It's not the end for everything, years will pass they can seek and find another one who is much better from the past. Also, teenagers now a days, most prominently the lovers do the sacred thing  that should only be done by married people, which is also wrong. After few months of doing it and the girl will become pregnant, there comes a time that she would abort the baby. How pity the baby in her womb who can't see the beauty of Mother Earth. So, always remember life is not for a lifetime, we all have end,we should make value on it.

How To Manage If Your Lost You're Important Installer?

Yesterday was really an odd day. My big boss instructed me to install a Rosetta Stone in the computer laboratory. I started it right away, but I still have classes hanging. I'm planning not to handle class yesterday but I can't do it. So left the laboratory and attended my class.

I left about 4 hours because I have to classes and after getting back to the laboratory my installer is gone. Oh my god! It's gonna cause me millions of words just to explain it what really happened. One thing came up to my mind is to download on some pirated website. I just can't justify the physical appearance of the installer.

Anyway I just sorted downloading a pirated Rosetta Installer and burn it. After installing all the computers I just gave it to my big boss. I'm so desperate yesterday. I don't know if my boss will check on it then it might be a big offense but moreover I will just explain to him what's really happened on that day.

I just hope I already leave on this company if ever my big boss reveal it. I hate someone disciplining myself.

Ukay-ukay is Worth the Price and Time?

I was finding a laptop bag today. The first thing that came up to mind is to go to a mall. I really need it badly after my bag was bitten by a mice. It looks horrible and it's not safe anymore to put my laptop on it. So then, I go to a mall together with my wife and kid. The price is too expensive in my part, it cost $40 for a laptop bag.
I did forget it and find other things. I bought new jeans and polo shirt. I also bought for my wife and kid. After I get home, I then remember that tomorrow I'm gonna need a laptop bag. Well seriously after seeing my laptop on the couch.
I sorted to an ukay-ukay store. It's worth the price and cost $10 only. It's not brand new but it's still useful. I would say it would last 3 years. If you haven't heard ukay-ukay, it's a foreign product which is already used and imported to our country. Many people are patronizing these products because of it's cheap price. I'm one of them.
They are legitimate and you can't  bargain their products, they're like malls. Shall I say I've bee finding a laptop bag for 1 hour. It's a kind of weird because the availability on it is just depend on imported garments. You can't find sizes, colors or anything. If you find one then you're lucky.
Okay I will answer the question if it's worth the price... Yes it's worth the price and time. I mean if you don't have anything to do then go to ukay-ukay store. Spend all your time looking for a product without any certainty. Good luck in finding.

Flood-hit residents spared evacuations

Flood-hit mid-Canterbury residents were spared evacuations overnight after the swollen Halswell River did not burst its banks as feared.

Civil Defence authorities in Selwyn issued a potential evacuation warning for Tai Tapu residents last night as the tail end of the destructive winter storm brought another day of heavy rain.

There was widespread flooding in Doyleston, Southbridge, Lincoln and Leeston, where volunteer firefighters had to sand-bag about 50 flood-threatened properties.
But a Selwyn District Council spokeswoman this morning said only one home in Leeston was evacuated and none in Tai Tapu were.
The Halswell River had risen considerably last night but did not breach its banks, she said.
"The sun is actually out down here today, so we're hopeful that the waters are going to recede and we can get things back to normal again.''
The flooding closed State Highway 73 and a number of river fords yesterday. A helicopter would survey flood damage across the district this morning.

Police are warning Canterbury residents to be careful on the roads due to frost this morning.
"It's as frosty as hell here,'' a police southern communications spokesman said.
"There's a lot of people sliding on the ice, but that's to be expected of four days of rain and a first frost.''
In storm-battered Wellington, about 800 households were still without power last night.
Wellington Electricity said it hoped to get power restored for most customers by the end of today, but it could take longer for rural areas.
The coastal community of Makara was facing a third night without power last night.
David Wutzler said his family had a wood fire to keep warm, but if the power didn't come back on soon, all the food in their freezer would spoil.
He hoped a temporary generator would be provided for the community, but there were fears yesterday that Makara could be cut off by flooding.
Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown said line crews were making great progress to get power back on across the city in "miserable and dangerous conditions''.
"In the meantime, though, we urge people to take steps to stay warm - and we urge people to help out those still without power.''
The Insurance Council yesterday said claims from the storm were likely exceed those from the floods in Nelson and Bay of Plenty in April, which came to $36 million.
Most claims were expected to come from Wellington.

Syria 'friends' defend arming rebels in Qatar forum

Foreign ministers of the Friends of Syria group, who are meeting in Qatar, have defended the arming of rebels who are fighting President Bashar al-Assad. John Kerry insists the US is not looking for a military solution Qatar's PM Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani said "providing arms may be the only means of achieving peace".
But he and US Secretary of State John Kerry said the policy was simply to achieve balance and bring Syria's government to the negotiating table.
More than 90,000 people have died in more than two years of conflict.
The Syrian government says it is fighting foreign-backed "terrorists".
'Balance' The Friends of Syria group includes the US, Britain, France and Germany as well as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan.
The meeting in Qatar's capital, Doha, comes a week after the US announced it would provide Syrian rebels with "direct military aid".
That decision followed what the US said was evidence of small-scale chemical weapon attacks by the government.
The Friends of Syria group was set up in response to moves by Russia and China to block UN resolutions on Syria.
On Saturday, the Qatari PM said that "failure to reach an agreement in the UN Security Council will not stop us moving forward".
He said that moral support for the rebels was not sufficient, adding: "A balance must be achieved on the ground so the regime can accept negotiations."
Mr Kerry said again that the Syrian government had crossed a line in using chemical weapons
But he insisted that the decision to provide military support to the rebels was "not to seek a military solution" but to give the rebels more power in negotiating an end to the conflict.
Mr Kerry said the group was still pushing for a peace conference in Geneva between the two opposing sides in Syria.
But he said Mr Assad had responded to the calls for a conference by bringing in Iranian and Hezbollah fighters to confront the rebels, an act he said "should concern nations all around the world".
UK Foreign Secretary William Hague accepted some in Syria would be disillusioned by the lack of action in the international community.
But he said: "The only worse thing than these meetings happening would be these meetings not happening."
He said the UK government had taken no decision to arm the rebels.
The rebels have suffered a series of military setbacks recently.
But on Friday, they said they had received new weapons that could lead to "changes" in the civil war.
A spokesman for the rebel Free Syrian Army said they had not come from the US.
"We've received quantities of new types of weapons, including some that we asked for and that we believe will change the course of the battle on the ground," FSA spokesman Louay Muqdad told AFP news agency.
On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin again warned the West against arming the Syrian opposition.
Speaking in St Petersburg during a visit by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, he said he feared a "political void" would be filled by "terrorist organisations" if Mr Assad were to leave power.
New offensive On the ground in Syria on Saturday, government forces were reported to have stepped up their attacks on rebel positions north of the capital, Damascus.
The pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported activists as saying there had been heavy shelling in a number of districts.
But the rebels said they had declared a new offensive of their own in the northern city Aleppo, the last major rebel stronghold.
They are attempting to capture government-held areas in the west of the city, Syria's largest.

Miami Heat Vs. San Antonio Spurs NBA Finals Game 7 Tickets Continue To Rise In Price

It is the morning on Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat.  Do you know where your tickets are?

The average price per ticket for a seat in the American Airlines Arena continues to rise.  However, if you do not care where you sit (or stand), the entry level “get in” price is actually decreasing with time.
Standing room only tickets have fallen below the $400 threshold.  Twenty-one hours ago, the cheapest standing room only ticket on the secondary market was listed at $420.  For those who simply care about being in the arena and feeling the excitement of a Game 7 with superstars including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, waiting until closer to tip-off may be worth it.  However, that is probably not the case for those who wish to have an actual seat during the game.
The average ticket price, taking into account all seats (including courtside tickets) has risen quite a bit over the past twenty-four hours.  According to secondary market ticket aggregator TiqIQ, yesterday morning’s average ticket listing was for $1,312.19.  This morning, the average ticket is listed for $1,537.79, an increase of $225.60 in a day’s time.
In 2010, the Boston Celtics lost Game 7 of the NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers.  Current Miami Heat guard Ray Allen was a member of that Celtics team, which battled strong but came up short in an 83-79 final.  Allen wants a ring this year; fans want to catch his performance live.  In 2010, the final average ticket price was clocked at $1,880.19.  If used as a reference, that means there is still a lot of room for ticket prices to go up for tonight’s game.  The increase in price over the past twenty-four hours is also a strong indicator of same.

Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs Game 7 preview

MIAMI -- Game 7s do more than settle championships. They define legacies.
No matter what happens Thursday night, LeBron James and theMiami Heat, and Tim Duncan's San Antonio Spurs have already won NBA titles and secured a place in history.
Now is their opportunity to elevate it.
The truly memorable teams won the hard way, and that will be the case for the one celebrating at center court this time. It's either aHeat repeat, possible only after James led them back from what seemed certain elimination in the closing seconds of Game 6, or the Spurs shaking off as gut-wrenching a loss as a team can have to become just the fourth club to win a Game 7 of the NBA Finals on the road.
''As a competitor you love it, because you know you have an opportunity and it's up to you,'' Heat guard Ray Allen said. ''We have a chance in our building to make something great. All of our legacies are tied to this moment, this game. It's something our kids will be able to talk about that they were a part of. Forever will remember these moments, so we want to not live and have any regrets.''
Allen played in the game the last time the NBA's season went down to the very last day, the Boston Celtics fading at the finish and falling 83-79 to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010. That made home teams 14-3 in finals Game 7s, with no road team winning since Washington beat Seattle in 1978.

Sportshub ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1

Overcoming those odds, not to mention the NBA's winningest team, would make this more memorable than the Spurs' previous four titles, though this is a franchise that never dwells too much on the past or looks too far into the future.
All that matters is now.
''You know what, it's all about just winning the title. It's not about situation or what has led up to it,'' Duncan said. ''It's a great story for everybody else, but we're here for one reason, one reason only: It's to try to win this game (Thursday). We have had a very good season thus far, and I think we just want to get to the game more than anything. We just want to see what happens and be able to leave everything out there.''
The teams trudged back to the arena Wednesday, some 12 hours after the Heat pulled out a 103-100 overtime victory in Game 6 to even the series. The Spurs, five points ahead with 28 seconds left in regulation, had to fight off fatigue and heartbreak, insisting neither would linger into Thursday.
By far the best game of this series, Game 6 immediately took its place among the best finishes in finals history, with everything fromJames' triple-double to Allen's tying 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left in regulation.
It had close calls, debatable decisions, and the NBA's best player at his very best when his team needed him most.
Games 2-5 in the series had been ugly, but that one was a beauty.
''I think - I know - that game will go down as one of the best finals games that's been seen,'' Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. ''But I think this series will go down as being one of the most competitive, bizarre series that's been seen. So this is what you pay for to watch. You pay to watch two great teams battle to the very, very end, and that's what we'll do (Thursday). It will be to the very last second.''
The Heat could become the NBA's first repeat champions since the Lakers in 2010. James and Chris Bosh moved to Miami to join Wade a few weeks later and they are in the finals for the third time in three chances.
But playing for titles is more expected than celebrated now in Miami, and a 66-win season that included a 27-game winning streak - and perhaps the whole Big Three era - goes down as a failure if the Heat fall Thursday. Yet James said he doesn't need the victory to validate his decision to take his talents to South Beach.
''I mean, I need it because I want it and I only came here - my only goal is to win championships,'' he said. ''I said it, this is what I came here for. This is what I wanted to be a part of this team for.''
He, Wade and Bosh are going for No. 2, while San Antonio is getting a second shot at what would be a fourth together for Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. All their years together have given the Spurs' trio the belief they can bounce back from Tuesday's collapse.
The team went to dinner after the game, Duncan figuring that was better than guys sitting alone with their thoughts in their rooms. Parker and Boris Diaw discussed a similar situation with the French national team in the 2005 European championships, when they blew a late lead against Greece in the semifinals but then came back to beat Spain for the bronze medal.
''We just have to be positive and forget Game 6,'' Parker said. ''It was a great opportunity, but that's life. It's basketball and everybody will be ready.''
So will James, who was planning a relaxing night with family and friends Wednesday. He has the most at stake in the game, and when it's over he'll be either a two-time NBA Finals MVP or a two-time loser in a Heat uniform.
''I want to go down as one of the greatest. I want our team to go down as one of the greatest teams. And we have an opportunity to do that,'' James said. ''Hasn't been many teams to win back-to-back championships. It's so hard. It's the hardest thing. I said last year it was the hardest thing I've ever done, winning my first. Last year don't even come close to what we've gone through in this postseason and in these finals.
''So I'll be there (Thursday) night. I'm going to give it my all.''
The Spurs have never lost in the finals, but they've never faced a situation quite like this. They won a Game 7 for the 2005 championship, but that victory over Detroit was at home. The last five finals that went the distance all went to the home team.
''I don't really care what it's been like for anybody else at any time,'' Spurs coach Gregg Popovichsaid. ''All I know is we have had a hell of a year and we have an opportunity to win a championship. That's all that matters.''

NBA Finals 2013: Keys to Victory in Series’ 6th Game

After the Spurs stole Game 1 in Miami, the two teams have traded alternating wins, and the Heat must keep the trend alive to keep alive their hopes of repeating as NBA champions.
Unfortunately for Miami, San Antonio has a couple other trends of its own that suggest the Spurs will win the series’ penultimate game on the road to finish off the Heat, as noted by ESPN Stats & Info:
    Spurs lead NBA Finals 3-2 with games 6-7 on the road. Since 2002-03, Spurs are NBA-best 14-2 in potential series-clinching games on the road
    — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) June 17, 2013
    Spurs: have not lost consecutive games with Duncan-Parker-Ginobili all in lineup since Dec. 12-13, 2012.
    — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) June 17, 2013
If the current trend for the 2013 NBA Finals holds true, the Miami Heat will win Game 6 to tie up their series with the San Antonio Spurs at three games apiece.

Needless to say, each team will play with an unparalleled sense of urgency and pride.
LeBron James and the Heat want to defend their title, and losing Game 6 would be a crushing blow after the phenomenal season this team put together. 
Tim Duncan may not get another chance to win a title before he retires, and you know his teammates will be playing their hearts out to make sure he gets his fifth ring.
Here is the biggest key for each club as it attempts to win this pivotal upcoming contest on Tuesday night in Miami.
Tony Parker and Gary Neal have been outplaying Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole throughout this series.
Chalmers had a big game for the Heat in Game 2, sparking the team’s blowout win at home with 19 points. Since then, however, Chalmers has been nearly invisible, scoring just 13 points on 4-of-19 shooting in the past three games.
At one point in Game 6, Numbers Never Lie (not a satirical account) noted that Chalmers had missed more shots than the entire Spurs starting lineup:
Cole was more of a help to San Antonio than he was to the Heat in the team’s pivotal Game 5. The Heat went minus 14 in the mere seven minutes he was on the floor. Head coach Erik Spoelstra put him in the game to guard Parker at one point, but it didn’t take him long to pull Cole out for good.

 

After the game, Spoelstra was furious with his defense, via Gregg Doyel of CBSSports.com: “They were just picking one guy out at a time and going mano y mano. Basically everybody on their team was taking turns off the dribble, getting by us and breaking down our defense.”
You know it’s bad when Spoelstra opts to go with Mike Miller rather than put one of his two point guards on the floor, which is what happened in the first half. Miller sparked a nice run in which the Heat outscored the Spurs 26-17.
Miami plays best when Chalmers is playing well, however. Relying on Miller isn’t a good long-term plan, as he’s a one-trick pony who can get cold from behind the arc.
If Miami has any chance of winning Game 6 and forcing a do-or-die Game 7, both Chalmers and Cole must step up and play better.
San Antonio was lucky Game 5 was played at home, because if the Spurs had turned the ball over 18 times in Miami, the game would have turned out quite a bit differently. As SI.com’s Chris Mannix pointed out, the Spurs were red hot from the field at home in the first half of Game 5:
Even with just four turnovers in the first game of the series, Miami nearly won the game. Game 2 was a complete blowout, as Miami used fast breaks and hot shooting to take advantage of the turnovers.
Should the Spurs continue to be careless with the ball, Miami will likely win in blowout fashion once again. The crowd at AmericanAirlines Arena will be ready to explode, and once the Heat start piling up points, the avalanche is usually difficult to survive.
If the Spurs can keep turnovers to a minimum (nine or fewer), San Antonio has an excellent chance to win the title in Game 6.

Heat vs. Spurs, Game 5: Miami’s Big Three not enough against San Antonio

The Miami Heat's Big Three followed up their dominant Game 4 performance with another stellar effort in Game 5. When looking at the combined numbers of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh from Sunday, most would probably expect a Heat victory, especially when factoring in Ray Allen's 21 points off the bench.

The Big Three combined for 66 points, 19 assists and 16 rebounds on 25-of-55 shooting, but it was not nearly enough as Miami fell to the San Antonio Spurs, 114-104. With the loss, the defending-champion Heat find themselves in the same situation as the 2011 NBA Finals, heading home down 3-2.

James and Wade had 25 points apiece, and the duo had 15 combined in the early going. But that didn't stop the Heat from falling behind by 13 after the first quarter and by as many as 17 in the second. Miami fought all the way back to get to within one in the third quarter before hitting a wall.

"They continue to have great starts," Wade said afterward. "We continue to start slow. We just dug ourselves into a deep hole really early. Unlike Game 3, we fought back. We got it within one. We used so much to get back, and they continued to keep coming at us."

While James did finish with a solid line of 25 points, eight assists, six rebounds and four steals, he shot just 8-of-22 overall and went 0-of-4 with one point during San Antonio's crucial 21-2 run in the second half. James has not been at his best in these Finals, but he says he's not worried about legacy implications.

"I always just focus on the present," James said. "The next challenge is Tuesday night. We will get better tomorrow. We're going to watch film, see ways we can clean up our starts, especially to our first quarter. We're not playing well in the first quarter. We have to figure that out. We have an opportunity on our home floor with our home fans to keep the series going and we're looking forward to it."

What hurt more than what Miami's Big Three did or didn't do offensively was the team's dismal effort defensively. The Spurs shot 60.0 percent from the field, getting plenty of open looks against a Heat defense that has been surprisingly inconsistent the last few rounds of the playoffs.

In order to successfully defend their title, Miami must now win two games in a row, a feat that seemed trivial earlier in the year when they were busy winning 27 straight. But the Heat have not won two games in a row since beating the Chicago Bulls four straight in the second round and taking the first game from the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals. When asked why this has been the case, James was left scratching his head.

"If I knew the answer we would have won two games in a row," James said. "We just haven't been able to do it."

Miami Win In Game 4

SAN ANTONIO –  LeBron James was better as promised. Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were the best they've been since the playoffs started.
Riding big performances from their Big Three, the Miami Heat tied the NBA Finals with a 109-93 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night in Game 4.
James had 33 points and 11 rebounds after failing to break 20 points in any of the first three games of the series, and Wade scored 32 points, 11 more than his previous high this postseason.
Bosh matched his playoff high with 20 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, he and Wade supplying the baskets that finally put the Spurs away for good midway through the fourth quarter.
Just like they have for the last five months, the Heat bounced back from a loss with a victory -- a lopsided one at that. They are 12-0 after losses since Jan. 10, outscoring opponents by 19.8 points in the previous 11 victories.
"Right now it's a three-game series," Wade said. "Two great ballclubs, we just want to come out again and play well."
Tim Duncan scored 20 points for the Spurs, who have one more game here on Sunday. They fell to 10-3 at home in finals games, failing to back up their 113-77 victory in Game 3 that was the third-most lopsided game in the history of the championship series.
James insisted he would be better after shooting 7 of 21 from the field with no free throws in that game, saying he was the star and it was his job to lead his team.
But while James -- and millions of critics worldwide -- wanted to pile all the pressure on the league's MVP, it was Wade on Wednesday who said it was the Heat's three All-Stars who had to lead them together, or there would be no championship.
He was right. And now those championship hopes are right back on track.
Tony Parker had 15 points and nine assists for the Spurs, who made a finals-record 16 3-pointers on Tuesday but got up only 16 attempts in this one. Gary Neal scored 13 points and Danny Green had 10, solid nights but nothing like when they combined for 13 3-pointers two nights earlier.
The Heat guaranteed they will get at least one more game on their home floor. Game 6 will be Tuesday night, where they could have a chance to clinch a second straight championship.
Wade, battling right knee pain throughout the spring, put it away for Miami early in the fourth. He followed a basket with a steal and dunk, pushing the lead to 90-81, and after he made another jumper, Bosh scored the next six Heat points, taking the load off of James.
The Heat switched their lineup, inserting Mike Miller, who made 10 of his 11 shots, going 9 of 10 on 3-pointers, in the first three games of the series. They changed uniforms, too, switching from their road reds to their blacks.
The only change they really needed was in the performances of their Big Three.
James called it a "must-win" and it probably was: No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals.
And the way their three stars played, they couldn't lose.
The Heat blocked shots, made stops, and occasionally flopped, playing with renewed aggression after what coach Erik Spoelstra called a "miserable" day of watching and analyzing their passive performance from Tuesday.
They still haven't lost two in a row since Jan. 8 and 10.
Parker played through a strained right hamstring, shooting 7 of 16, but the Spurs couldn't match the Heat's speed.
After the teams traded blowouts in the previous two games, momentum swung wildly in a first half that ended tied at 49. San Antonio raced to a quick 10-point lead, fell behind by 10 with 7 minutes left in the half, then finished with an 11-2 spurt sparked by reserve Boris Diaw. Bosh dove for a dunk that came just after the buzzer, Spurs owner Peter Holt waving it off from his seat along the sideline.
James rocked back and forth during the national anthem, a bundle of energy ready to get going. It took a few minutes after the game started, but he began playing with the speed and power that makes him unguardable at his best, grabbing rebounds on defense and rushing the ball up the floor himself to get the Heat into their offense.
He and Wade combined to make 10 of 11 shots and score 21 points in the first quarter, helping the Heat erase their early 10-point deficit to go ahead 29-26.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich even lit into Duncan during an early second-quarter timeout with Miami on its way to a 41-31 advantage, but the Spurs had it back to even by the time the teams headed to the locker room.
Notes: Sebastien De La Cruz, an 11-year-old mariachi singer, sang the national anthem again after his Game 3 performance set off a barrage of racist tweets by what Popovich called "idiots." ...  Popovich and Spoelstra congratulated him at midcourt after his performance, which earned him a rousing ovation. ... James passed Hakeem Olajuwon (3,755 points) to move into the top 10 in career playoff scoring. James has 3,777.

Can Tony Parker Play on Game 4?

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker sat and watched as his teammates practiced Wednesday afternoon. The Spurs hope Parker won't be doing the same during Thursday night's Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Tony Parker says he and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich will decide his status on Thursday. (USA Today Sports)The Spurs officially listed Parker with a grade 1 right hamstring strain – the least severe – and called his status day-to-day. Parker suffered the injury in the second half of the Spurs' 113-77 Game 3 victory over the Miami Heat.

"The good news is it's not a tear, it's not a defect," Parker said. "Now I just have to see how I'm going to feel [Thursday]."

Parker is averaging 13.3 points and 6.3 assists through the Finals' first three games. He had six points and eight assists in 27 minutes in Game 3 before getting hurt.

If Parker doesn't play Thursday, he will have had four days of rest before Sunday's Game 5. Parker said he doesn't feel unnecessary pressure to play and will make the decision with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich based on how he feels Thursday.

"Coach Pop always prefers the rest, to avoid injury," Parker said. "If it was the regular season I would definitely have rest. I would not play. And same thing here, it's an injury, and so we'll see.

"Obviously it's The Finals, you know. I know Pop is always going to prefer we take no risk."

The Spurs will likely start Cory Joseph if Parker can't play. Joseph averaged 7.2 points and 3.1 assists in nine games as a starter this season. Manu Ginobili and Gary Neal can share in the ball-handling duties, and the Spurs' No. 3 point guard is Patty Mills.

"I just try to look at the game the same no matter how much playing time I get, whatever it is," Joseph said. "I just try to go out there and help my team and let the game take care of itself."

While Miami would benefit if Parker can't play, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra says he's not thinking that way. The Spurs lead the Finals 2-1 with the next two games in San Antonio.

"If we bring the level of effort and focus that we brought last night, it doesn't matter who plays for them," Spoelstra said. "We're hoping he plays. We want both teams to be healthy. We don't want any excuses and they don't want any excuses either."

Spurs Win in Game 3 - NBA Finals

San Antonio Spurs dominated the Game 3 on their home court. It wasn't Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili or Tony Parker who lead the game. It was actually the role players like Danny Green and Gary Neal. Neal hit 6 three points and amaze the arena while Danny Green has it's best defense against the superstar Lebron James.

San Antonio Spurs had a lot of experienced on championship game. I'm one of their million fans. I just don't like the arrogant Lebron James and maybe because of it's bluff behavior. Game 3 is not Lebron's best game. When some people doubt after Miami Heat dominated in game 2 now they proved they can double those leads.

San Antonio Spurs can do faster game, slower game, defense first and offense first. They are really diverse in terms of game plan. It's not about playing as a superstar it's about winning the game. Can they still win to game 4? If the coach of Miami Heat will not make a game plane then most probably still the same we saw on Game 3.

They to focus on Miami Heats role players not just superstars. Good luck both teams! I'm hoping for injury because after all, it's just a game for amusement.

Is Facebook Worth The Time?

Everyday we've been socialize either from natural world or virtual world. The ever wonder of facebook has change the natural world into virtual one. Is it good or bad? Millions of users are online everyday in facebook. You can find games, friends, lovers and almost everything in virtual world is bundled up by facebook. We can interact in a matter of seconds and shout out loud in order to be heard by everyone.

Let us try what we left since we started facebook. How often you and you're family eat breakfast, lunch and even dinner? It's not the same as before and if you ever wondered why then the answer is in you. Before facebook we used to play outside and spend couple of hours. This type of amusement is a form of exercise and good for our health. Another scenario is you're friends are just too lazy to search some subjects and would directly ask your answer. Games are very rampant on facebook and no one had ever notice the time they spent.

I'm not a hypocrite, I also used facebook. The only difference is you have to limit you're time in using social network site like facebook, twitter, youtube etc. There is still an outside world that need our attention. You're family need your presence in every celebration. They need you to talk about you're problem and letting you engage in physical activity rather than virtual. You can friends outside the virtual world. If you think how many hours I spend in computer, less than 3 hours.

Let us enjoy our life outside and let them fell that you're important in virtual world! Take time to lessen your usage in facebook or any networking site and feel the difference.

How To Buy Online Securely?

When it's your first time to purchase online using a credit card, you should seek advice to the expert. There are many hackers and scammers online. Others sorted not to buy online but the easiest way is only the online buying. You don't want to drive few kilometers just to purchase a gadget, food or entertainment. To save time and gas, buying online is very essential. The only question we should bear in mind is to buy online securely. Before buying online, you should review the site.

Most site that has already a victim may have blogs or posted to scammed site. If you can't find it most probably the site is legitimate. Next, you need to know the age of the website. You can go to www.seologs.com/dns/domain-check.html‎ to check the age of the domain. If the domain is not so old then beware of that website.

Another way is is to look at the address, it should be in https:// not http://. HTTP stands for "Hyper Text Transfer Protcol" while S stands for secured. So be sure to look at the "S". Now that you know the website is legitimate, it's to know if the reseller is also a legitimate. You need to look at the review of every reseller because others who already purchased their items will give reviews. If the review is good then you can start to buy his/her items. It is much better to let someone guide you rather than doing it yourself. Good luck and I hope you can purchase securely...

Are We Alone in The Universe?

The universe is very vast. So far we haven't yet map our universe and we don't know it's real shape. The universe is immeasurable and no one can define it except your faith. We're left behind the question, "Are we alone in the Universe?".
Our technology is fast advancing. If you're going to look at our environment 50 years before, you can't imagine how we grow our technology. From a simple storage device to a gigabyte in size today. We've used magnetic tape and now we are using flash drives. Before we've used a large storage room just to store a lousy computer but today everything is fit on you're pocket. No matter how we revolutionize our technology, we can't even have an interstellar flight.
Today, we have conquered the atmosphere. Our superpower countries like United States, Russia, China, Japan, Germany, Canada, etc. have their own space rocket programs. They've used sophisticated technology which every now and then are advancing. Eventhough how these technologies evolved we can't still reach neighboring planets. We are dreaming for interstellar flight but we can't get to other planets in our solar system.
We have many propulsion but few of them are used. We've use the hydrogen fuel, plasma, nuclear powered and the most inconsistent propulsion is the anti-matter. Today, we are still so much dependent on hydrogen fuel but this type of propulsion powered can't gave us brighter future to deepen space flight.
Why we need to travel from planets or even to the starts? If we are searching other life forms on earth but not human kind then we should travel to other planets. That's the only way we can proved and answer the question "Are we alone in the Universe?". If today can't answer that question, I hope on the next century our technology can answer it. 

Miami vs Spurs Game 1 2013 finals

Game 1 was a very tough fight between this two rivals. Lebron James was stunned on the game 1 and even the help of Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade still the Miami lost the game.
During the first quarter they Lebron James had a very good shot and perimeter area. He can shot 3 points and combined with the power of Dwayne Wade. You can't see the dominant on the first quarter, I think they are equal. If we can see their sizes Lebron James is 6'8 compared to Ginobili who is only 6'6. We Tim Duncan vs Chris Bosh which is equal in size and Dwayne Wade to Tony Parker which is 6'4 vs 6'3 in height. All I can I say is the Miami is really dominant in terms of height. Now let's try to look at the experienced, the Spurs is looking at there 4th championship while Miami is only 2 championship. In terms of experienced the Spurs had more experienced compared to the Miami.
On the last quarter Tony Parker shot the very important throw with the 7 seconds and he got it... The score became 92 to 88 and the Spurs is winning the game. The Miami can't make on 5 seconds with 4 points deficit and the Spurs win the game. Congratulations Spurs for winning...

Dominic De Silva Game 7 Eastern Conference Finals Preview

Let's have a quick review on Game 6 in Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat. It was really a dominant game by Indiana Pacers on the last quarter of the game. If you're going to see the crucial shot back to back by Miller, I thought the shot would end Indiana Pacers but I was totally wrong. After Paul George replied on those shot, then the game became in favor of Indiana Pacers. Lebron James became off on that crucial time and a total dominant in Indiana Pacers.
Next will be the do or die game. It would tell us who's really the strongest team in Eastern Conference Finals. Will Andersen play on game 7? Yes, Andersen would play on game 7 and it would be very exciting to watch. Dwayne Wade still had his injury and became dull on the play. He haven't scored much and I think it would be a great advantage by Indiana Spurs.

Indiana Pacers has already the height advantage but the court advantage would go to Miami Heat. It's their court on Game 7. The pressure when it's not your court would mean  low performance. These people are really intimidating during free throws. Have you observed, a group of people waiving and trying to get attention to the free throw shooter. Let's see who got the best team while San Antonio Spurs is waiting on the NBA Finals. All I can say good luck and may the best team win.

Basic Computer Troubleshooting

Today your going to learn how to troubleshoot your computer. First you need to identify what is the cause of the problem before doing moves.
The topics I'm going to discuss are the following:

• Won't Start
• Blue Screen
• Frozen
•  Network Problems

During boot-up you're operating system won't start. Don't panic, relax... We need to figure out what causes the problem. Now, check the BIOS(Basic Input Output System) go to the Boot order and check if your hard disk is in the boot order. If it's not in the boot order, try to remove the SATA connector from it's port and connect it again. It may be a lost contact. If it still won't start and no errors try to interrupt it with f8 or safe mode. Try to check what may the cause of the problem, if safe mode will start then it may be a software problem that prevent your Operating System to load.

Now let's talk about Blue Screen with "Contact your administrator". Still don't panic, try to restart it if the blue screen will not solve during restart try to remove the memory and connect it again, it maybe a lost contact to memory. If it won't solve use f8 or safe mode.

Frozen - use cntrl + alt + del using task manager try to end the application that cause the frozen. It it won't work restart you're computer and it will restore during Operating System Boot.

Syrian Conflict Outcome Major War Will Follow

The peace talks collapse and they (the superpower nations) already know the outcome before the peace talks. The United States is supporting the rebel against president Bashaar Al-assad government. The rebel forces which is lacked of funding to win this war will vanish against Assad's government because today the Russian has been giving high tech weapons against the rebel.
In a broader scenario, the Israel will not allow those weapons because the Hezbollah which is the major threat of Israel  will now has the opportunity to hold those weapons. The Israel keep bombing any suspected transportation to Hezbollah because they knew that if that weapon is on the hands of their enemy then sooner or later they will use it.
Now, if Israel which is an ally of United States will attack those weapons and how about the retaliation against Hezbollah. If Hezbollah will retaliate on those weapons attacked then Assad government will declare war against Israel. If the happened then the Russian will not also allow the United States to intervene those war. If the United States will defend Israel so Russia will also defend Syria.
Things can't be predicted and if both superpowers on war then welcome to World War 3. World War 3 would be devastating, once either side use nuclear weapons then the other also would retaliate. This could be the end of the world.
Right now peace talks between rebel and Assad government always failed. If they can't negotiate immediately, broader clash is the outcome in this civil war.

Stopping Scammed - Dominic De Silva

Scamming seems our everyday threat when we are using internet. It makes it hard for us to enjoy surfing and buying internet. Sometimes if we are scammed then we pity the internet in general. We don't search for solutions or even awareness. Today you're going to learn how to stop scamming. Okay lets' begin and roll the dice.
There are many ways to stop scamming but I'll mention and explain everything as much as possible. First I would to ask if you have an anti-virus software. If you don't have any then you're prone to scamming. You will see lots of pop-ups and most of them are scam. They will redirect you to a page that lure their bad intention.
Can you identify the difference between www.dominicdesilva.com vs www.dominicdesilva.com ? If not then one of this website is a scam. Try to hover you're mouse and see the link. Be careful with it because they duplicate website and they look like the same to the legitimate website.
Do you entertain junk mails and cold callers?  Be careful with their bait selling style, they are not scammers but most likely some of them. It maybe the first attack just to get information to you. So you've better stop it now or sorry later.
If someone wants you're personal information especially bank account number. This one is a scam, just hang-up the phone and verify it to your bank company. The bank company will not call you and ask for your account number. The scammers can duplicate you're card number and they can purchase online without your knowledge.
If you have some hard copy of your information, shred it. We don't know who can we trust to our workplace, they can be used against you. Example you're relatives name: They will just call you're relative name and an accident happen. The scammer will then ask your account number and of course while on the emergency situation you don't verify the situation.

Good luck and don't forget the information I've written. I used it everyday and you I hope you're going to apply it in you're real life.

Miami Heat Win the Game!

It was really a closed fight against Indiana Pacers. I was surprise, I thought it will be an underdog game but it wasn't. Every quarter gets and exiting play. No one knows who will win or lost the game. The only certain while watching is the intense power given by every player. George Hill, Roy Hibbert, Paul George and David West is the most dominant on their team. Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and Battier are on the Miami heat. If you're going to compare the height then Indiana Pacers would be advantage but it's not about the height, it's all about the game play.

In the last seconds Indiana Pacers is down to 3 but Paul George shoot and 3 points and force to overtime. I thought the game will be over and Miami will win on that time. After the Overtime Lebron James was given a play on the last 2 seconds and he got it on the lay-up and win the game.

This game is the most exiting I've ever seen. When you don't know who will win or lost then the excitement comes in. Support NBA Now and watch it live.

Dominic De Silva - How To Defend Against Scammers

It was really obvious when someone is scamming or not. When I was a newbie online, there are so many offers and looks really convincing. So good to be true but once you know it you've been scammed. The reason I wrote this article is to reveal scam attack online.
I was once fooled but not again. I have this customer in ebay and he really want to buy my product. So, I decided to end the bid and give it to him. Beyond my knowledge he used stolen credit card and completed the transaction.

The problem began when the paypal had a chargeback on me. So I look up my transactions and revealed because of the date attached in ebay. I called the paypal immediately and found out that the transaction is using stolen credit card and the owner was refunded. I insist that it's not my problem if the card was stolen and other are using their card. It's the owners responsibility to take care of the card.

The paypal didn't listen my explanation and instead they refunded the charge and its worth $112. It was my lost and I really hate to be a seller. You should be aware on the scammed in ebay. I asked my IT consultant and he knows how it works.

They should have a third party, this mean they have other online store and if the customer purchase their store. Then they are going to buy it like ebay. All the information in their store are fake and the use of it is to deliver this to the one who purchased there store. The purchaser don't know if that seller came from ebay or anywhere else, as long as the item is receive then he/she is safe. All the burden is in the seller's of ebay.

North Korea vs South Korea by Dominic De Silva

This conflict had been for more than 60 years old. Before North Korea is much richer compared to South Korea. The North tried to unite two countries but failed until now. The North Korea decided to attack the South Korea but the United States and United Nation defend South Korea to the invasion.
Who are the allies of North Korea right now? The major ally is China who help North Korea during the Korean War. United Nation is winning but the Red China in the Yalu river attack them so the retreat. If you wondered how many red china attack, the united nation is out numbered and they don't have enough ammo to defend the place.

Until then they decided a Korean Armistice Agreement but not a peace treaty. They are divided in the Demilitarized Zone in 38 parallel. Any attempt to crossed the border would go into broader clashed and war between two nations. North Korean people are starving because of their economy but the bone head Kim Jong Un still firing missiles last March 18, 2013. They fired six missiles to gain international publicity. While the South is enjoying their economic progress the North is starving their people.

If war would clash the Korea will become one and the winner will be the people of North Korea. Only the communist leader is gaining money but the people is starving. They have brainwashed the people and these people think the international community is invading them. Good luck North Korean people I hope you country will be invaded by South.

HTML basic

Do you want to be a web designer and keep searching on some websites? The web designer should start to the very basic and that is where HTML basic comes in. Let's start discussing HTML.
HTML is a Hyper Text Mark Up Language. It composed of tags, the opening tag and the closing tag.
Example: <body> which is the opening tag and </body> which is the closing tag.
HTML has it's structured, just like us. We have the head the body and the feet but in HTML we have the head and body only. The structure is look like this.

<html>
  <head>
  <title>My first Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

That's the structure of HTML. Save it as index.html and run it into your browser. It is just empty since we didn't include some of the important tags. On my next blog, I'm going to tackle the most useful tags and their uses also. If you have a comment leave them below otherwise till next time.

Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers

We know the dominant here is Miami Heat compared to Indiana Pacers. It is really obvious that Miami Heat would win against Pacers. Who knows? Dwayne Wade already had a knee injury and everybody specially Pacer's fans are looking forward into this situation. Lebron James without Wade is useless.

How about Indiana Pacers we have Roy Hibbert, David West and the rookie Lance Stephenson. Actually Pacer's has no superstar unlike Miami Heat. Three of them are superstars. If you're going to look on defense to defense it is really obvious the Pacers will win on this situation. How about offense? Can the Pacers make it?

Lance Stephenson shows his great moves during New York vs Indiana Pacers game. If Lance Stephenson is consistent on his game then I would say that they will win this game 1. The fans of Miami Heat is very huge and Stern won't allow Pacers win this eastern conference final. I just hope I made a very bad assumption or else then I would say NBA is a business.

If you have some comments leave them below. Watch game 1 in Eastern Conference Final and share you're comments with me (Dominic De Silva).

Memphis vs Spurs with Dominic De Silva

Memphis vs Spurs in eastern conference final together with my best friend Dominic De Silva. We enjoy it so much since Tony Parker always play tough move and teamwork. The underdog on this game is always the Memphis and it is really intimidating with the home court advantage to San Antonio Spurs.

Strong move by Tim Duncan as he always the second leader of the Spurs. Dominic De Silva laugh at Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol as they are not too good on game 1 in the eastern conference final. That's how we enjoy life according to Dominic De Silva. Sometimes you when and sometimes you lose but your not really a loser. Do not hate the player but hate the game. I knew my bestfriend enjoying the NBA finals. They didn't even get close with Spurs and the Memphis is completely underdog on this game.  Final Score is 83 for the Memphis and 105 for the San Antonio Spurs. Go Spurs and win the championship. We're with you.

Next we will watch Miami Heat vs Pacers and I know it is very exiting game. So, who is you're next NBA champion at this season? Leave you're comments below and good luck to your team.
