Transmission-deamon Fedora init script

I've recently setup a my old PC as bittorent download station. I use Fedora 11 and I needed transmission-daemon statup script. After some diggig o internet I found only debian like scripts so I decided to write it my self. Here is the result. Use is freely and wisely.

Definitely, Maybe

Seeing this movie and think about Othelo brought me to a thought about "Why we want to see happy ending stories?". I guess it's our life. We think we are having tough times. But that's not true. I believe most of us is having good times. Maybe our expectations are not full-filled but still we are living in times of sufficiency. We have wifes and husbands we love. Adorable, funny, amazing kids. Great parent, family. Social country :D and much more.

And that's why we need to read/watch tragedies. So we can realize how good life we are living. And we should take advice from these unhappy endigs and value what we have.
