this is a trailer from Tom Clancy’s: Endwar
Its about the background story of the game:
The unthinkable happens in 2016. A nuclear exchange in the Middle East kills 20 million people and cripples the world’s oil supply. Crude oil prices spike at $800 a barrel.
One year later, the threat of world-wide nuclear war is eliminated when the United States and Europe deploy a comprehensive space-based anti-ballistic missile shield. Russia soon follows with an advanced missile defense system of its own. Intercontinental ballistic missiles are rendered obsolete.
Russia becomes the world’s primary supplier of energy and experiences a massive economic boom. With its newfound riches, Russia quickly re-establishes itself as a major superpower and restores her military might.
Western Europe, with the notable exception of the UK and Ireland, unifies to create the European Federation. This new nation is destined to be a formidable 21st-century Superpower.
In 2020, the United States is on the verge of finishing construction on the Freedom Star, a controversial orbital military platform that will upset the balance of world power. The European Federation withdraws from NATO in protest.
Tensions between the European Federation, the United States, and Russia are building and will soon reach the breaking point.
The EndWar is about to begin.

A sprawling epic of family, faith, power and oil, THERE WILL BE BLOOD is set on the incendiary frontier of California’s turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon. When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there’s a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads with his son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier), to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value — love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son — is imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.

Update: April 7 2008:
Since producing this video, I’ve been introduced to and following another investment expert whom I’d like you to know about. Visit www.TrueContrarian.com for more information.
The sub-prime mortgage crisis has led to the bursting of the US housing bubble. What’s next?
Craig Brockie and New York Times best selling financial author and economic forecaster Robert Prechter share how to survive & prosper in a deflationary depression.
Find answers to these questions:
Bull market boom or bear market bust ahead? Recession or depression? Inflation or deflation? Buy or sell? U.S. dollar, Yen, Euro, Amero, gold or silver? Equities or bonds? Can the Fed save the day? Will Ben Bernake and the Federal Reserve print the greenback into oblivion and create a repeat of the German Weimar Republic? Or will we experience another stock market crash followed by a repeat of The Great Depression?
Avoid foreclosure of your home, protect your retirement savings by selling your mutual funds and stocks before the herd, avoid a run on the bank and your insurance company going broke. Sleep well knowing you’re prepared.
Who has the answers? CNBC, Bloomberg, The Wall street Journal, The Economist, The Globe and Mail, or BBC World? How about an interview or panel with Donald Trump, Jim Cramer, Alan Greenspan, Warren Buffet, Doug Casey, Jim Shepherd, Milton Friedman, Naomi Klein, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Aaron Russo, or Libertarian Ron Paul to save the day?
Should you invest in the NYSE companies, Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq technology stocks, emerging markets such as China, forex and interest rate derivatives, short selling, put options, call options, commodities, commercial real estate, buy homes with no money down, or sell your house? Who will win the next election — the Democratic or Republican party?
Watch this free video and compare it to what you hear on tv shows, radio programs, Googling the web, or your favorite dvd, Youtube channel or online blog. Or Google “The Great Depression” and educate yourself about “deflation” to save your money and financial well being.
It’s a mad world of conflicting opinions about oil and energy prices, billionaire wealth, billion dollar earnings and merger and acquisition news, and trillion dollar debts. Yesterday’s sell off followed by today’s rally on equities (despite the war on terror) leaves both buyers and sellers confused. What’s the big idea? Small caps, market cap, recap, refinance? Wait, there’s GM, GE, HSBC, UBS, RBC, CIBC, TD, BMO – and plain old BS.
I know this sounds like a George Carlin rant, but I bet he could make more sense of the confusing world of finance than most Wallstreet “experts”, reporters and journalists.
Welcome to my five minute show.
Enjoy!

A pretty good video of what can go wrong on a ship. The vessel had just come out of drydock and was mooring up to a pier. An oil containment boom got caught in its starboard propeller and caused some pretty nasty damage. In video #1 youll notice as I start flying forward of the ship there is the foam material inside its keel cooler and all along the hull. Thats the material that is used to keep the oil containment boom afloat in those square modules you see. So now they have to hire divers to remove the oil boom from their propeller, pick out the foam from around their keel cooler and probably go back into drydock to fix their propeller and shaft

Dubai is one of the seven emirates and the most populous city of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located along the southern coast of the Persian Gulf on the Arabian Peninsula. The Dubai Municipality is sometimes called Dubai city to distinguish it from the emirate.
Written accounts document the existence of the city for at least 150 years prior to the formation of the UAE. Dubai shares legal, political, military and economic functions with the other emirates within a federal framework, although each emirate has jurisdiction over some functions such as civic law enforcement and provision and upkeep of local facilities. Dubai has the largest population and is the second largest emirate by area, after Abu Dhabi. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the only two emirates to possess veto power over critical matters of national importance in the country’s legislature. Dubai has been ruled by the Al Maktoum dynasty since 1833. Dubai’s current ruler, Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is also the Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE.
The emirate’s revenues are from trade, real estate and financial services. Revenues from petroleum and natural gas contribute less than 6% (2006) of Dubai’s US$ 37 billion economy (2005). Real estate and construction, on the other hand, contributed 22.6% to the economy in 2005, before the current large-scale construction boom. Dubai has attracted worldwide attention through innovative real estate projects and sports events. This increased attention, coinciding with its emergence as a world business hub, has also highlighted human rights issues concerning its largely foreign workforce.
