Playing Cards Online

I always play cards while surfing the internet each afternoon. It's very fun and it helps me relax. My favorite page is taixiu.com, where you get 100000 when you sign up. Now I have 400000 in my account, mostly from a friend in APU, and I intend to have 1 million. The kind of straight card is different from Hanoi, but it's more exciting and more difficult. You must be careful and use your intelligence and creation to win.

Milan won the match against MU

The most being-awaited match in the second round of Champions League 2004-2005 ended with a shocking win for AC Milan. Both teams surprised the fans by their strange first-team. They created an open match with many chances for strikers. MU concentrated on their wings with Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs while Milan concentrated on the center attacking with Rui Costa and Kaka. In 7th minute, Seedorf has a wonderful free-kick and the ball almost went into MU's goal. In 37th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo ran quickly along the right wing and crossed a magic ball to Fortune but Fortune missed the best chance of the match. And Milan win a lucky goal when MU's goalkeeper Roy Carroll made a serious mistake by pushing the ball to Hernan Crespo's foot in 78th minute. Crespo easily scores by a light finish. And he helped Milan to win the first match against an English club in 30 years.

Songs about Alison

This is the most famous song about Alison, it holds a place in the top 50 love songs of all time. It's a song of Elvis Costello named "Alison":

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl.
And with the way you look I understand
that you are not impressed.
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress.
I'm not going to get too sentimental
like those other sticky valentines,
'cause I don't know if you are loving some body.
I only know it isn't mine.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.

Well I see you've got a husband now.
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying
in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand.
I'll bet he took all he could take.
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
when I hear the silly things that you say.
I think somebody better put out the big light,
cause I can't stand to see you this way.

Alison, I know this world is killing you.
Oh, Alison, my aim is true.
My aim is true.

Linh Dam village may be damaged

Hanoi's quick development is making people's lives improve everyday, but ancient and cultural places like Linh Dam village is being threatened seriously although villagers are still trying to keep an old-time appearance for their place . Recently, Hanoi politicians decided to ratify a project of preserving Linh Dam village and turning it into an ecological village. The project aims to turn the 16.7ha area (with a population of 1,254) into an ecological village, developing a modern infrastructure and preserving historical and cultural relics. Most local residents agreed with this project but some are concerning about the time and trying to sell their land to people who want to build modern appartments. It takes a lot of money to carry out the project, so the most important thing is seeking investors.
