Dream Satellite TV History
Until 2006 Dream offered a competitive and technologically advanced system, and was the first content provider in the Philippines to offer such channels as Disney, Fox News and TCM. Their service reached a peak in October 2005 with the adding of Discovery, Discovery Travel, and Animal Planet.
However, starting June 16th 2006 Dream began to delete channels with Fox News, Star Chinese and Channel V deleted in favor of free to air channels.
Then on August 16th 2007 Dream deleted 13 channels including the very popular Disney channel, replacing them with nothing, while maintaining their very high subscriber rates.
Currently Dream is the only provider without the Disney Channel.
On September 23rd Dream dropped PBO movie channel, replacing it with Free-to-air Australian TV
Thus, as a result, Dream charges much more than the cable services despite having only half the channels the Cable services offer.
With these moves Dream now seems only be seeking customers in non-cable areas as they are no longer a realistic choice to anyone who has the option of cable in their area. This will only worsen as competitors SkyCable, Global Destiny Cable and CableLink add channels while Dream just deletes and deletes more channels.

Early Years
Pretty Ugly (Birth Name Carlton Mann) aka "The Boy Papes" is a rapper from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Still an underground artist, he is yet to release his first album. He received a small amount of attention when he appeared on Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack, on a collaboration entitled "Spit Game". Due to the fact that Grand Theft Auto was generally new, Pretty Ugly did not get the same exposure than that of artists featuring on the other Grand Theft Autos.
Pretty Ugly released the single "Stack G's Regardless" through Game Recordings, the B side to the single called "" featured P-Dap and a then unknown 50 Cent.
Throughout the late 1990's Pretty Ugly was co-signed by well known N.Y.C. DJ; DJ Stretch Armstrong, he appeared on the album "DJ Stretch Armstrong Presents SPIT" and was also signed to Stretch's label Spit Inc but never released an album due to Armstrong selling the Spit name to Def Jam Records.
In 2001 his track "The Struggle" appeared on Landspeed Records compilation album The High & Mighty Presents Eastern Conference All Stars II. Also in 2001, he appeared on Stimulated Vol.1, a release by Stimulated Records.
Recently
Although the rapper may not be well know by mainstream hip hop fans he has a large Underground hip hop following due to appearing on many DJ Whoo Kid mixtapes and being backed by producer Red Spyda. In 2006 Pretty ugly featured on Hi-Tek's second album Hi-Teknology_2, he performed alongside rappers such as Ghostface Killah, Bun B and Devin the Dude. He has also appeared on Prince Paul's album Politics of the Business, along with Masta Ace and Kokane.
In 2008 Pretty Ugly is expected to release his long overdue first album which is thought to be entitled "Eviction Day". Also, a song titled "Question 2 Jay-Z" has been released for download on Pretty Ugly's myspace.

Winston Jones created Cultural Vibe in the mid 80's. The project has had 18 releases, the majority being remixes of Deep house classic, "Ma Foom Bey".
"Ma Foom Bey" has featured on many a rare house compilation, as well as popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on House music station SF-UR.

Fnu Lnu (sometimes pronounced as ) is a pseudonym used in law enforcement to indicate that a person's name is not known. The origin of the name is the acronym First Name Unknown, Last Name Unknown. In the situation where only the first name or last name is known, variants such as "Deepak Lnu" or "Fnu Smith" are used. Another situation where this might happen is for persons with only single-word names such as Indonesian names where most of them either were assigned FNU (or Fnu) as their first names or LNU (or Lnu) as their last names (the third possibility is using reduplication, e.g. John John or Mery Mery).
As an example of this pseudonym's use, a former contract interpreter for the United States military was charged in 2005 with lying to federal agents in his application for naturalization and application for a security clearance. The man was accused of providing an inaccurate name, birthdate, country of origin, and marital status. The complaint stated that "'he defendant's true identity is unknown'" and he was charged as "FNU LNU". Similarly, in 1991, a mute man whose identity could not be determined was arrested and charged with burglary in Harris County, Texas under the name "FNU-LNU"; charges were later dropped because authorities could not communicate with the man.
The name has been considered a source of humor when "Fnu Lnu" has been mistaken for the actual name of a person. One anecdote tells of an assistant district attorney who tried to look up the previous record of a person identified as "Fnu Lnu" and is surprised to find pages and pages of persons by that name, only to later be embarrassed to learn that the name means "first name unknown, last name unknown".
