BACK UP PLAN;UPSIDE DOWN




Back up plan is truly a great movie.The sense of humour is too good to be true.The whole theater i saw it at was almost packed up and the room was filled with laughter almost throughout the movie.
JLO is not my favourite actress but she did a good job in this one.Her acting skills are getting better.

It is about love,marriage and of course relationships.Its also about "back up plan" or upside down plan.So instead of what is a the typical relationship where boy meet girl,falls in love,engagement,marriage then babies,it was the other way round.Upside down.

Won't ruin it for those who wanna watch it,because it made my day.The starring actors are JLO and Alex Oloughlin.

A few things that i noticed that the production people should have worked on are:when Zoe was in the cab n it was raining hard,her cab drivers was the only one who had wipers on,the rest of the cars' were off,i one is left wondering if it was raining only on one side of the road.Another weird thing is that Zoe got her pillow after having it had been thrown in the trash by Stan,it seemed it had been a while when it was thrown and when she went looking for it.I was just wondering how long it takes in NY for the garbage to be collected.It was a matter of time frame.Also When Zoe had on the white dress and it couldn't fit her right,she had a hard time walking to the car and was even harder getting in,but when the got at the restaurant and she had to throw up,she was actually able to run.So did the dress become bigger,aha just wondering.
Anyways Back up plan,is a must watch.I will definitely see it again and again.Its hilarious besides those few production flaws.

A BAD IDEA BY UN

I read the BBC headlines and just found that the UN is planning to leave the war torn Republic of Congo by August next year.

But according to the article the UN will not move unless the country is able to support itself in terms of security.It a bad idea to plan leaving at the time because it will be around election time.

I think they should re think their plans.

BANGOR;HUB FOR TROUBLED FLIGHTS



I was not aware of how our very own Bangor International airport is equipped until this Tuesday , when a plane was diverted here for security purposes.


The flight according to CNN news was coming from France heading to Atlanta Georgia but was diverted to Bangor Maine.A man on the flight claimed to be carrying a bomb/explosive and fake travelling documents.The man is said to have served in the U.S air force.
According ; to Rebecca Hupp,who is the airport Director(CNN video interview) the airport has great facilities and serves as an "diversion point for International flights."
International Flights are diverted incase of :security issues,mechanical malfunctionig,unruly passagers and also during medical emergencies.It also serves as a fuel stop for scheduled flight.

Amazing that the such great facilities are located in this small town.
Would never have guessed that Bangor airport was that equiped.The airport runaway is approximately two miles long.

Ash in the clouds stops flights






Tourists are stuck all over the world due to the eruption of the Iceland volcano.
I was just wondering or concerned about their well being because some have been stuck for a while.I am thinking about those people: who had gone for a business trip and left their families behind,those that maybe had their wedding dates set but couldn't make it back on time,students who are now late for school and all in all i am wondering of how they are doing financially.

If you know anyone who is stuck please leave a comment and let me know how they are doing.I am really concerned because we don't know for sure when the flights will resume or when the eruption will stop completely.

Earth day



I am trying to find out when the earth day,begun and why so that i know what i am supposed to do.
I f you are a college student,the school are having a clean up day to honor this day.

So Senator Gaylord Nelson is the founder of Earthday.It started in 1962 but for a period of seven years.The idea came to him because the state of the environment then and i guess its more troubling now.According to envirolink his problem was that the environment issue did not matter in the "politics of the country."So he wanted the issue o be in the political limelight which led him to want to persuade The then President,president Kennedy "to put the issue into visibility."

So it is all about the environment and conserving it.Keeping a clean environment,the air and everything.Also the idea of going green
