“Slumdog Millionaire,” the little film that overcame tremendous odds simply to earn an American release, won eight Oscars Sunday night at the 81st annual Academy Awards, including best picture.
“Most of all we had passion and we had belief, and our film shows if you have those two things, you have everything,” said producer Christian Colson, surrounded by many members of the film’s huge cast and crew.
It was a supremely unlikely success story. “Millionaire,” which combines elements of Bollywood melodrama and documentary grit, features no stars.

An infectious laugh…oh to be able to laugh hysterically at a plastic chick again.
Here is a very simple, yet important method of contact for you or a loved one in case of an emergency. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is program the number of a contact person or persons and store the name as “ICE”. The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which numbers to call.
He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name to file “next of kin” under. Following a disaster in London, The East Anglian Ambulance Service has launched a national “In case of Emergency (ICE)” campaign. The idea is that you store the word “ICE” in your mobile phone address book, and with it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted “In Case of Emergency “. In an emergency situation, Emergency Services personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly find the contact information under “ICE”.
Please forward this. It won’t take too many “forwards” before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
I am sure MANY of you have already heard about or are doing this…good, then this post is not for you. Those who have not heard of this before, I’d encourage you to do this. I have my family in my phone and think its a great idea that could make a difference!
You tease me,
oh please me,
i want you to be my lovetoy,
come near me, don’t fear me,
i just can’t get enough of you boy.
For as bad as this is, its equally as good.
