There shall be no 2nd Nigerian civil war o!

THE STORY OF LIBERIA!
Welcome to The Vice Guide to Liberia. VBS travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation’s eventual intervention, most of Liberia’s young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust. America’s one and only foray into African colonialism is keeping a very uneasy peace indeed. In Part 1, Vice’s own Shane Smith provides a brief history lesson and some essential context for understanding what caused Liberia’s civil war and how things got so bad. Liberia was originally planned and founded as a homeland for former slaves back in 1821. But fast forward a bunch of years and a military coup and you find the First Liberian Civil War in 1989: yet another third-world regime change in which the US-backed opposition, led by Charles Taylor, overthrows a government unfriendly to US interests. Once in power, Taylor’s corrupt, dysfunctional government quickly finds itself under attack by local warlords, leading to the Second Liberian Civil War ten years later. From there things go from bad to total poo.

Row over seized arms
•Presidency summons Iranian ambassador

The Federal Government, yesterday summoned Iran’s ambassador over an arms shipment it seized last month, in Lagos. The Iranian Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki attended the meeting held at the office of the Foreign Affairs Minister, Odei Ajumogobia. An official at the Iranian embassy in Abuja confirmed that, trully, the Iranian Foreign Minister was in Nigeria but declined to comment further.

“The Iranian ambassador has been summoned, and he is holding a meeting with the (Nigerian) Foreign Affairs Minister,” said an official at the Foreign Ministry, who refused to be named.

“Part of the agenda of the meeting is the issue of the shipment of explosives and the visit of the Foreign Affairs Minister of Iran,” the official told Reuters. A diplomat with access to intelligence on Iran had told Reuters in New York. Mottaki had gone to Abuja to discuss the seized arms and take permission from the Federal Government to bring two Iranians linked to the shipment back to Tehran.

In a statement released on Monday, Nov 1, the embassy neither accepted nor denied that Iran was involved in the arms shipment. It also declined elaborating on Israel’s allegation that the arms were destined for Hamas controlled Gaza.In the statement, the embassy said that “any unnecessary word would add to the confusion already existing.”
A diplomat, who spoke on the condition of anonimity said the two Iranians were at the Iranian embassy in Abuja and that Tehran appeared reluctant to have them questioned by Nigerian authorities.

The Iranian embassy had earlier denied reports by a local newspaper that some Iranians had been arrested over the weapon seizure just as it was reported that two Iranians linked to the arms shipment were hiding there.
Security agents had intercepted 13 containers declared as building materials and discharged from the CMA CGM Everest vessel at the ever busy Apapa port.

At the time, CMA CGM said, “the shipment in question was booked as a ‘shippers owned container’ and supplied loaded and sealed by the shipper, an Iranian trader who does not appear on any ‘forbidden persons’ listing.” CMA CGM based in France operates the Marshall Islands-flagged vessel. The company said the containers were loaded in Bandar Abbas by a local trader, at the southern port city of Iran, and discharged in Lagos in July. After three months, the shipper asked to have the containers reloaded and sent to the Gambia. According to the firm. clearance had been obtained before customs offiials intervened and halted the shipment.

Diplomats in New York said Iran would appear to be in breach of the United Nations sanctions regime, which forbids it from exporting any kind of weapons directly or indirectly, if the seized weapons were originally loaded on its territory.
But they said it was difficult to assess the case because Nigeria had not yet notified the U.N. Security Council’s Iran sanctions committee about the seizure. Only on Wednesday, the States Security Service (SSS) faulted the reports that the arms shipment was meant for Nigeria.

Those weapons were for Boko Haram, I bet

Envoy? this one don pass envoy matter o! 
Jonathan should make a speech and accuse the state of Iran, of trying to destabilize the country directly, organize Iranian flag burning with some youth with death to Ayatollah chants and let see whether we will not get their attention! (Payback is a b.it.ch, right!)

There were indications on Thursday that the Federal Government had demanded an explanation from the Iranian government on the interception of arms and ammunition at the Apapa Port in Lagos.


The weapons, concealed in 13 containers and labeled as ‘packages of glass wool and pallets of stone,’ arrived at the port in July from Mumbai, India. But on October 26 when the containers were opened by security agents, they revealed weapons comprising rocket launchers and bombs.


https://www.punchng.com/images/October/Wednesday/pix20101027371648.jpg

CMA CGM, an international cargo shipper based in France, had said the containers were picked from Bandar Abbas, a port in southern Iran.


The discovery of the weapons raised fears that they were meant to be used by politicians during the 2011 general elections.


The fears were strengthened on Thursday by an Associated Press report which quoted intelligence officials as saying that the arms and ammunition were imported by some politicians.


An intelligence source close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told THE PUNCH in Abuja that the Federal Government had sought explanation from the Iranian embassy on the weapons shipment.


The source, who declined to be named because of the sensitive nature of the issue, said, “The government is already in touch with the Iranian government through its ambassador in Nigeria, Hussein Abdullahi.”


“You know that where the shipment emanated from is no longer in dispute. Government is taking up the matter more seriously because they have been reports that two Iranians that facilitated the importation of the containers are hiding in the Iranian embassy.”


Abdullahi seemed to have confirmed the development when he told AP on the telephone on Thursday that he was ‘meeting with Nigerian officials’.


The ambassador had said there was no clear evidence linking Iran to the weapons. But Israeli intelligence officials had claimed that the weapons were headed for the Gaza Strip before they were intercepted.


The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Odein Ajumogobia (SAN), in interview with Channels Television on Thursday, also confirmed that the government was in touch with Iran on the issue.


He added that the government was building the capacity of its security forces to deal with security challenges.


The minister also, at an interactive session with diplomats in Abuja on Thursday, allayed fears over the 2011 general elections as well as the general security situation in the country.


The minister said that the October 1 twin car bomb blasts in Abuja had no political undertone but were an act of terrorism.


“The recent interception of an illegal arms shipment at one of our sea ports illustrates the high level of vigilance and response capability of our security agencies,” Ajumogobia said.


Before the minister spoke, AP said in its report that documents from Nigerian intelligence officials showed that the Iranian government was aware of the shipment of the weapons to Nigeria.


The report added that the officials believed that some Nigerian politicians were behind the importation and had intended to use the arms and ammunition to destabilise the country if the outcome of the elections did not favour them.


It said the Nigerian investigators, who followed a paper trail, learnt that Iran’s foreign ministry endorsed a Nigerian visa application for Sayed Tahmaesebi, one of the two Iranians who allegedly shipped the weapons.


According to the documents, the letter of endorsement from the ministry claimed that Tahmaesebi would work at the Iranian Embassy in Abuja as an ‘administrative support staff.’


The documents sighted by the international news agency added that Tahmaesebi and the second Iranian suspect, Azimi Agajany, organised the shipment of the deadly weapons through a Tehran-based company, International Trading and General Construction.


The intelligence documents claimed that Agajany received a visa to travel to Nigeria after getting an endorsement from a Nigerian Islamic teacher, Sheikh Othman. The Islamic teacher, known as Abbas Jega , worked for Radio Tehran’s Hausa language service and studied in Iran.


He is currently in the custody of the State Security Service for his role in the seized weapons.


The documents added that Agajany initially wanted the weapons shipped to Abuja but when told that there was no port in the city, he came up with Lagos as the destination.

iPhone

I is for the Instant Grat,
the need to know right off the bat
who won the game,
which e-mails came.
It might not end up being the same
as last time, or the time before.
I'll check again, just to be sure.

P is for the Paucity
of life inside the battery,
which every other smartphone tops.
It drops and drops
and never stops.
It lasts for hours, just as long
as I don't turn the power on.

H is for the Hours in line,
with nothing 'round to pass the time.
Brav'd summer rains
and standing pains
and made imperceptible gains,
to make obs'lete one July day,
the model which I'd bought in May.

O comes twice after the one
when ev'ry billing period's done.
That's ten times ten,
again, again,
and all completely worth it when
I have my weather stats supplied
without the need to peek outside.

N is for No Internet,
which is often what I get,
under shadow, roof, and sky,
in subways low and buildings high,
and anywhere I vainly try.
Except that myth'cal 3G Zone
With room to fit me and my phone.

E is for the Endless apps,
which bring about with simple taps
everything that Apple hawks.
I check the time on foreign clocks,
and I could eas'ly track my stocks,
if I hadn't racked up debt,
financing Steve Jobs' private jet.

When strung together, not alone,
these letters six spell out IPHONE.
And Apple, Apple, burning dim,
on some base and capricious whim,
released this fearful acronym.
Despite it all, I'll need to get a life
Before queuing again for Version five.

@Na2day,

That's my Desire baby, I've been using it since July n that phone is just awesome. Yeah, you need that advanced task killer, it'd save your battery. My fave app has got to be Fake-Call Me. You can set the phone to ring at a particular time, n whoever you're with thinks your phone is actually ringing. It's got me out of 1 or 2 sticky situations. You know, you really wanna end a conversation with someone, and they just don't get it, and then your phone rings, the perfect get-away,

Could you share other apps you've got on your phone? I think I need more,

Dats nice to hear, i must check out dat fake call me app!

And to all of u compalining about the touchscreen keyboard, there is a paid keyboard app which is revolutionary!
You can try it but its a bit difficult to master, but if u do, u'll be glad u did!

Na2day,

I know P2P and all the other filesharing sites.Its just that its a very amateurish way of downloading stuffs. Based on your own experience,you know where you can be infected and you know how to avoid them. Please dont bomb Idi-Ileke's laptop.

Having anti-virus on your computer doesnt prevent you from contracting virus,its just there to mitigate the infection,so, dont put too much trust in them.

dats the risk u take when u're getting free stuffs,
one of the things to note is never download files smaller than 30mb, i only use it for new film release and music,
but apart from d risk, its quite wonderful!

No wonder, i've been wondering who's using otomokpo on my post!  

What happened to my previous post, it just disappeared!

Anyways

@denzel2009

Yeah, there are bad guys everywhere on the net, and u can also download virus if u're not careful, its just for u to know what u're doing!

Any Bit torrent program is a P2P Program.

Pirate Bay is a P2P program. P2P stands for "Peer to Peer." In a P2P network, the "peers" are computer systems which are connected to each other via the Internet. Files can be shared directly between systems on the network without the need of a central server. In other words, each computer on a P2P network becomes a file server as well as a client.

The only requirements for a computer to join a peer-to-peer network are an Internet connection and P2P software. Common P2P software programs include Frostwire, Kazaa, Limewire, BearShare, Morpheus, Pirate Bay, Utorrent and Acquisition. These programs connect to a P2P network, such as "Gnutella," which allows the computer to access thousands of other systems on the network.

Once connected to the network, P2P software allows you to search for files on other people's computers. Meanwhile, other users on the network can search for files on your computer, but typically only within a single folder that you have designated to share. As such, your computer will slow way down while downloading files to other peoples computers. And once downloaded, a P2P program is nearly impossible to remove from your computer.

While P2P networking makes file sharing easy and convenient, is also has led to a lot of software piracy and illegal music downloads. Therefore, it is best to be on the safe side and only download software and music from legitimate websites. (Read: Don't use P2P programs)

By using P2P programs the wrong way you'll get a virus. P2P programs have a lot of fake files. Fake files are files pretending to be a song or movie, but are viruses.

When you do a search, you always see a lot of small files. Files too small to be a song or movie. Therefore it is very likely, that those small files are the fake files.

If you do decide to use a P2P program, to minimize the risk of getting infected, never download files smaller than 2500/3000kb.

Because nothing is completely safe, make sure your anti virus is up to date before you download and use any P2P program. In case a virus slips through - your anti virus software should take care of it, most of the time.

What happened to my previous post, it just disappeared!

Season 1, Episode 2: Guts

https://www.bscreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/1x02-Guts-Promotional-Photos-the-walking-dead-16204528-600-400.jpg

We open at a familiar survivor camp. Lori announces that she is "heading out" -- and tells Carl to stick close to Dale. "If you see anything, holler," Dale demands. "I'll come running." So Lori heads into nearby woods to search for provisions. She hears a rustling. Nothing. She continues. More rustling. Nothing -- again. Lori is about to panic when ,

Shane appears OUT OF NOWHERE and drags her to the ground. They immediately begin to strip off their clothes. Shane momentarily stops when he sees Lori's pendant. She removes it -- and the two get back to making wild love in the grass.

Meanwhile, Lori's husband, sheriff Rick, remains trapped in a tank in the middle of Atlanta. Zombies swarm the military vehicle, but can't get inside. Inside, a voice comes from the radio. "Hey, you alive in there?" the voice asks. The voice then tells Rick that a side street is comparatively unpopulated by "walkers" -- and advises him to make a run for it. After a few deep breaths, Rick emerges from the top of the tank. He BASHES a zombie in the face, SHOOTS a few others and starts RUNNING. A young man suddenly appears (Rick ALMOST shoots the stranger) and diverts Rick down an alley.

The pair climbs a fire escape -- and the man, the voice on the radio, introduces himself as Glenn. They climb to the roof then double back through the building to the street. With zombies hot on their heels, Rick and Glenn make it to a department store, where a band of survivors await. One of the survivors, Andrea, is FURIOUS at Rick for firing his gun and attracting the undead. "You just rang the dinner bell," she says. Sure enough, a horde of zombies has assembled at the entrance to the store. Suddenly, the group hears SHOTS.

They sprint to the roof -- and find Dixon shooting his rifle. T-Dog, who is black, accuses Dixon of wasting bullets. Dixon immediately uses the N-word -- as if he were just waiting for an opportunity -- and the two immediately come to blows. It ends with Dixon pointing a gun at T-Dog and declaring himself superior. "Anybody else?" the racist asks. Rick answers in the affirmative -- and BASHES Dixon in the face with a rifle. Rick then cuffs Dixon to a pipe , the tosses the keys off the roof. Dixon HOWLS with rage.

Later, Rick suggests the group head for the sewers. Survivor Jacqui, who used to work in the city zoning office, explains that the building should have an access point in the basement. Glenn volunteers to head into the hole to scope out the situation -- and takes a flashlight and fellow survivor Morales with him. In the meantime, T-Dog and Dixon trade insults on the roof while the former tries to get somebody -- anybody -- on the radio. "It's nothing personal," Dixon says. "You're kind and my kind just weren't meant to mix." T-Dog shakes his head -- and refuses Dixon's request to give him a hacksaw.

Glenn and Morales soon return from their sewer trip -- and explain that a steel grate blocks any chance of exit through the sewer. Even worse: the zombies outside have busted through the first set of glass doors. Only one final set of doors keeps them from entering the department store. So what now? Rick suggests a distraction. Andrea explains that the undead can smell the living. Apparently, their odor is distinct.

The plan: chop up a dead body of a security guard and smear his blood and guts on their bodies. -- thus, smelling like a zombie. It's as disgusting as it sounds, but the survivors get the job done with a big axe and rubber gloves. Glenn vomits. "Do we smell like them?" Rick asks. Says Andrea with a grimace: "Oh, yeah." Rick then tosses T-Dog a key to Dixon's cuffs (an extra set he had stowed in his pocket) and heads outside with Glenn.

Amazingly, the two blend in, passing zombies who sniff them before turning their undead attentions elsewhere. The other survivors watch from the roof. Unfortunately, storm clouds are gathering above. It's going to rain , and possibly cleanse Rick and Glenn! T-Dog, meanwhile, continues to try to contact people on the radio. Although he doesn't know it, Shane's group of survivors can hear the calls -- barely. "He said a department store," Lori says. As it turns out, Andrea is the big sister to Amy, who is traveling with Shane, Lori, Carl, Dale and others. Andrea volunteered to go to Atlanta to get help. Now, Shane tells Amy that her sis "knew the risks" -- and they won't be going after her. Amy, naturally, is FURIOUS. "You sonofabitch!" Amy tells Shane, who looks guilty as hell.

Rick and Glenn, meanwhile, continue to walk through the horde of zombies. Then it begins to rain. The guts begin to wash off of the pair. The zombies begin to smell something. Uh oh. A zombie ATTACKS -- and Rick BURIES his axe in the monster's brain. "Run!" Rick screams. So they do, eventually hopping a chain-link fence. As the zombies figure out how to climb the fence, Rick and Glenn hustle to a truck at a construction site. The keys have been left inside. They gun the engine and take off.

But they don't go far. Rick soon stops the truck and breaks into a nearby sports car, setting off the loud alarm. The plan: Glenn will drive the sports car to the front of the department store. The alarm will attract the zombies. Meanwhile, Rick will drive the truck to the back of the store and pick up the survivors. Glenn calls the group on the radio to tell them the details. But what about racist Dixon? "You can't leave me here!" Dixon screams. T-Dog hesitates , but finally decides to free Dixon with the key. Alas, T-Dog trips -- and the key bounces from his hand and disappears into an open pipe. "I'm sorry!" a distraught T-Dog screams before fleeing the roof. Again, Dixon HOWLS with anger.

CUT to Glenn, who plows through a horde of walkers in front of the department store -- the car alarm BLARING the entire time. CUT to Rick, who backs up to a loading dock. Morales, Jacqui, T-Dog and Andrea jump into the back of the truck. Rick notices that Dixon isn't there. "I dropped the damn key," T-Dog explains. Finally, CUT to Glenn, who RACES down an empty highway in the sports car. He lets out a triumphant YELL!

So everybody has escaped (with the possible exception of Dixon) , for this week.

Season 1, Episode 1: Days Gone Bye

We open on an empty intersection. The camera pulls back to reveal an overturned car and truck. A sheriff's cruiser pulls up and out steps Rick Grimes. The uniformed man cautiously examines the scene before approaching a gas station. More abandoned cars. Laundry. Baby dolls. Makeshift camp sites. A dead woman rots in one of the cars.

Grimes, who carries a gasoline canister, is looking for gas -- but a sign at the station reveals that there is none left. Suddenly, he spots a shambling figure in bunny bath slippers. It is a young girl. "Don't be afraid," Grimes says. She turns -- a ZOMBIE! Grimes pulls his gun , and blows her brains out. Welcome to the apocalypse.

FLASHBACK: Rick and his partner Shane discuss the differences between men and women while eating lunch in their cruiser. Rick talks of his wife Lori and son Carl. Apparently, the couple had a fight the night before. "It's like she's pissed at me all the time and I don't know why," Rick explains to Shane. The pair then gets an urgent call.

A weaving car is being chased by cop cars. Rick and his men set up a roadblock. The weaving car swerves and FLIPS over and over before coming to stop in an adjacent field. Two bloodied men emerge from the wreck with their guns drawn. They FIRE. Rick is hit. The officers return fire and quickly take the two men down. Rick, who is wearing a bulletproof vest and has only been winged, believes it is all over. He stands up , and is SHOT again. Turns out there is a third armed man in the wrecked car. Shane raises his shotgun and BLOWS the man away. He then turns his attention to Rick, who is BADLY injured. It doesn't look good.

CUT to the hospital. We see events from Rick's hazy point of view. Shane visits with flowers. Time passes , but how much time? Sometime later, Rick awakes. The flowers are dead. The clock has stopped. He tries to move, but his legs have atrophied. He falls. "Nurse, help!" Rick cries. No answer. Rick manages to stumble into the hallway , and discovers a complete mess. Gurneys, papers and equipment are strewn everywhere.

Worse: a hospital employee appears lying dead on the floor appears to have been almost completely devoured. A set of double doors, meanwhile, has been chained shut with the scrawled warning: "Don't open. Dead inside." Rick wisely backs away from the doors, which begin to bulge and shake. Something wants out. Rick retreats to a darkened room with a flight of stairs heading down. Using only a match to light his way, Rick eventually finds an exit door , and is blinded by the light of the day. Outside, dozens and dozens of dead and rotting bodies are wrapped in hospital sheets. Rick is HORRIFIED.

Rick stumbles away from the hospital, finds a bicycle and races home. "Lori!" he cries. "Carl!" But the house is empty. Its occupants are long gone. Crying, Rick walks outside. Something approaches him from behind -- slowly. It's a non-zombie boy! The boy, Duane, swings a shovel and knocks Rick to the ground. The boy's father, Morgan, then rushes up -- and notices that Rick isn't a zombie, after all. Rick passes out from the blow.

For the second time that day, Rick wakes up in a bed unsure of his surroundings. He is tied to a bed inside a suburban home. "Did you get bit -- maybe scratched?" Morgan asks. Rick explains that he has "only" been shot. The trio then sits down for dinner and Morgan explains that the streets are crawling with "walkers." The process: bites kill you, a subsequent fever "burns you out" and, then, "after awhile, you come back." Duane then looks out the window at the walking dead -- and spots his mother! He cries , and Morgan does his best to comfort his son. "She died in the other room in that bed over there," he explains to Rick. "I should've put her down , I just didn't have it in me."

The next morning, Rick returns to his home with Morgan and Duane. He notices that all the family photo albums are gone. Rick theorizes that his family fled after packing up their personal belongings. Duane says they probably headed to Atlanta, where the center for disease control and prevention is located. The trio then head to the police station to take hot showers (the station has its own propane supply) and collect weapons and ammo.

Rick then says goodbye to Morgan and Duane, who take their supplies to a nearby Jeep. Rick hangs around just long enough to SHOOT a zombie deputy he once knew before driving away in his squad car. Destination: Atlanta. First, though, Rick stops at an area park to put a female zombie -- cut in half and crawling pathetically -- out of her misery. "I'm sorry this happened to you," Rick says through tears. He shoots her in the head.

Meanwhile, Morgan and Duane return home. Dad tells his son to wait downstairs before heading to the upstairs bedroom. There, Morgan takes aim at zombies in the street with a scoped rifle. He shoots two , before spotting his wife. Shaking, Morgan takes aim , but can't bring himself to pull the trigger. Zombie Mom shambles away. Morgan weeps.

Sometime later, Rick uses his police radio to see if anybody responds. Unbeknownst to Rick, a group of survivors does hear Rick's message (he can't hear their answer). It turns out that the group, which has made a camp in a field, includes Shane, Lori and Carl! Lori tells the group that they should've set up a roadside sign warning people against going to Atlanta, which is apparently crawling with zombies and completely unsafe. Shane tells her that they simply don't have time. She storms off to a tent. Shane enters to talk her down , and the two end their conversation with a passionate kiss. Uh oh.

CUT to Rick, who comes upon a farmhouse where the inhabitants decided to shoot themselves rather than live in a zombie-infested world. Rick, who is looking for gas, spots a horse in the yard. He decides to ditch his cruiser and ride the steed. "Go easy, OK?" he tells the animal. "I haven't done this for years." Riding the horse, Rick soon approaches Atlanta. The city is seemingly empty -- save for crashed cars, empty Army helicopters and burned-out buses. Sure enough, zombies begin to appear.

Suddenly, Rick hears the sound of a helicopter. He spurs the horse to follow it -- and turns a corner into a side street PACKED with zombies. Quickly turning around, Rick flees -- and runs into another horde. The sheriff is pulled from his horse, which quickly becomes zombie feed. Rick then crawls underneath an Army tank and begins SHOOTING wildly. He then notices a hatch in the bottom of the tank and pulls himself into the belly of the steel beast, SLAMMING the hatch shut behind him. He crawls up against a seemingly dead soldier, and takes his gun. While looking away, the soldier comes to zombie life; Rick shoots him in the head just in time. Safe , for now.

Inside the tank, Rick can hear the undead swarming all over the vehicle. He is despondent when, suddenly, a voice crackles over the tank radio. "Hey you, dumbass," the voice says. "You in the tank? Cozy in there?" Rick's eyes go wide. Who is that?

Until next time, what is left of America ,

REVIEW

The Walking Dead is centered on Rick Grimes, a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky, his family, and a number of other survivors who have banded together in order to survive after the world is overrun with zombies. As the series progresses, the characters become more developed, and their personalities shift under the stress of a zombie apocalypse, most notably Rick's.

In the beginning of the series, Rick and partner Shane are in a firefight and Rick is shot and enters a coma. Upon waking in a hospital, he discovers the undead are in the building and town. Rick returns home and shortly decides to go to Atlanta, where the survivors were told to await help, to find his wife Lori and son Carl. He discovers the city is crowded with zombies and bumps into Glenn, a scavenger for a band of survivors. Following Glenn, Rick discovers Lori and Carl are okay along with Shane, who is less than happy that his former partner has returned. He also meets new survivors.

The group searches for a place to call home, settling in a couple of temporary camps, including a prison, which comes to the attention of an insane man calling himself the Governor. The Governor runs his local city, Woodbury, Georgia, like a dictator and tortures Rick (including cutting off one of his hands) and other members of his group, culminating in an all-out assault on the prison. Several of the main characters die in the battle, including the Governor himself. After the prison is made unsecured by the attack, Rick and the surviving members, after leaving with others to Washington, D.C. for a chance to cure the infection, encounter cannibals (which are brutally taken care of). Their current residence is a township that is enclosed in the outskirts of Washington D.C. until its safety is compromised by gunshots that attract a horde of zombies.

denzel2009:
The way they are releasing these phones is something else. I got the the Desire HD on upgrade and was tempted to start using it,but a guy offered me £420.

I couldnt resist,afterall they will release another one before you know it.

Nice to know people are shifting towards android phones. Meanwhile, Iphone 5 is coming out in June next year.

Iphone is going down, Android is almost taking over d market! the pigheadedness of Steve Job is stifling apple,
though they have, very awesome products, but the price and closeness of the os will soon be its undoing! other manufacturers like Htc, samsung and Motorola are catching up fast.
so which one are u using after dumping desire HD?
