Hi everyone! I am so thrilled to announce that on Saturday, July 21st, I was crowned Miss Teen Canada World 2012!!
Here is how it happened;
July 21st – a day of intense rehearsals, hair and makeup and not to mention, extreme nerves! The final night show at the Miss Teen Canada World pageant was a must-attend event in Canada's young entertainment world, featuring hosts Luke Bilyk from Degrassi: The Next Generation, Cynthia Loewen, Miss Earth Ontario 2012 and model at M.V.P. Management Inc and a special performance by Multi-Platunum Artist Karl Wolf!
In fact, this past week in Toronto was certainly a once in a lifetime privileged opportunity! From meeting 61 delegates from across the country, being on Breakfast Television, Much Music Live, meeting Zack Werner to meeting four women mentors and much much more, I don't think I can ever forget any of it!
The moment my name was called out, I was in utter disbelief. How could I, a college student from Montreal, be Miss Teen Canada World 2012?!
Now that I have had some time to reflect upon Saturday's events, I realize that winning the title of Miss Teen Canada World 2012 is certainly a once in a lifetime-privileged opportunity to stand center stage and deliver a positive message out to the National audience. I would like to thank everyone at the MISS TEEN CANADA – WORLD PAGEANT for making this possible for me!
A special thanks to Miss Teen Canada World 2011, Lauren Howe, for her continual guidance and utter sweetness-I sure hope I can fill her shoes! What an amazing young women!
To all of the other 62 delegates, congratulations for all your accomplishments and good luck in all your future endeavours. Remember, we are all winners and you all still have one whole year to make a difference in your communities, never give up and remember that the sky is really the limit! I thank you all for the love you have showed me! I am, without a doubt, looking forward to the wide variety of opportunities that I will experience throughout my reign, things that would have never been possible before!!
I would like to thank my friends and family without whose help this journey would have never been possible.
Another special thanks to Bourjois Paris, Nailene, Bioré Canada, Vichy Canada, Me to We Style, BIODERMA France and NUXE paris for the lovely gifts!!
Bye for now and stay tuned for further updates on my journey as Miss Teen Canada World 2012 on the official Miss Teen Canada World website!
Hello everyone! Day 2 at MTCW was absolutely insane! The day started off with a nice, healthy breakfast and was then followed by a fairly lengthy process of getting our hair and makeup done. We then had our individual photo shoots, video interviews and finally our personal interviews. What an experience!
Then, later on in the evening, we attended Mentor Night-a live blogging exercise where we had the opportunity and privilege of listening to four female mentors and their stories.
The night began with host and guest speaker Dr. Archer, who is a dynamic Toronto dentist and began her dental career in 2001.
Believe it or not, but she has managed to have a career and a family while building a profession as a hospital dentist!
During her speech, Dr. Archer stressed upon the importance of education and emphasized that it is THE most important thing because no one can ever take it away from you and that's something that will personally stick with me for a lifetime. Dr. Archer also mentioned that women, especially business women, need to begin taking calculated business risks. In fact, "we as women are true business leaders", she said. Take Greengage mobile for instance, a successful company with an all women's executive team. Not only are we smart risk takers now but, there is seen to be an increasingly large number of women breadwinners. That being said, it can be quite hard to maintain relationships with spouses, family and friends, she said. Additionally, with women pursuing their careers, the issue of when to settle down and have kids also arrises. In sum, Dr. Archer is definitely passionate about giving back and delivering realistic messages to her audiences and her insight was greatly appreciated from my end!
Melani Chong in fashion and beauty for over 15 years, Canadian Ford Model and mom of two children. She also recently developed a personalized skin care line called Soya Boutique! These organic products are a natural skin care collection that is useful for the whole family.
During her speech, I came to learn that she was initially only interested in sports but when brought to the mall by her father, she was scouted by Ford Models. Chong emphasized that although modelling was a great experience, she felt like she could do more! She told us to never forget that there will be opportunities that grow from experiences. She also stressed that being a beautiful women, it's not always easy to be taken seriously and that it is therefore important to always communicate and to always ask questions to clear up any and all uncertainties. While ending, she quoted Socrates and said, "Wisest is he who knows what he does not know" and she couldn't have said it better in my opinion!
Next up was Katrina Hadden, a health and wellness specialist, size 12 model, life coach, motivational speaker and the author of the best-selling self-help book, Making It In High Heels.
Known for her positive energy and contagious smile, she helps her clients get better focused to achieve their goals and dreams . Katrina Hadden Life Coaching for Athletes has been a life coach for over eight years, specializing in Stress Management, Personal Development, Work-Life Balance and Health and Wellness.
Through her speech I came to learn that she was in fact bullied as a child for her size. In her teens, she was a competitive basketball player and actually played the position of post like me! Unfortunately, after receiving a terrible knee injury, Hadden had to then create a new dream – a new chapter in her life. Once into modelling, it was her dream to develop a market for size 12 models and boy did she ever! She got to walk in Toronto Fashion Week as the only size 12 model and managed to get a standing ovation when walking out onto the runway (quite the accomplishment don't you think?).
Here are some tips Katrina suggested in order to become a good role model;
1. Take care of your body and health (workout, eat right, maintain a regime)
2. Find an interest or hobby (be it running, writing, playing an instrument)
3. Carry an attitude of gratitude (be polite to others always thanking them)
4. Forgiveness (because life is just too short)
Our last speaker was, Alexandra Orlando, a highly decorated world-class Rhythmic Gymnast. Her wisdom can be found inside the pages of an award winning book called In Pursuit of Victory.
Alexandra has in fact also just published her second motivational book, Breaking Through My Limits: An Olympian Uncovered!
During her speech, Orlando mentioned that teenage years are really the years to determine what you want to do with yourself. For someone who's a speaker, she mentioned that she's a rather private person, something I can personally sometimes relate to. In 2003, when she didn't qualify for the Olympics, she reached rock bottom and said she had, in a way, lost her identity. She was actually even criticized for being too big and heavy. However, in 2008, things took a turn for the better when she finally qualified for the olympics! She ended by stating, "One cannot be scared of failing because then you will always have regrets", take every opportunity you get and have fun!
A special thanks to all the inspiring women, Rob Campbell and MTCW for planning, organizing and executing such an exciting and moving event!
Hi everyone! Day 1 at Miss Teen Canada World 2012 is now officially over! I'm currently in my room trying to get everything ready for tomorrow's photo shoot, video interview, personal interview and trying to blog at the same time!
Today was great! Imagine this: 66 girls in their crowns and sashes all in one room and meeting for the first time. It was quite the event! We were also fortunate enough to have met with some of our sponsors for the event today. I would like to thank S-Trip!, Sallazzo, Cheeky Monkey Cosmetics for all the gifts they provided delegates with. Be sure to check out their Facebook and twitter pages and like and follow them!
I really cannot wait for what tomorrow holds in store! It will definitely be a long and busy day but I'm up for the challenge!
Also, voting is now open for the people's choice award! The girl with the most votes is automatically placed into the top 20.
To vote, please go to www.missteencanadaworld.com/mtcw-finals/finalists and click on "details" beside my picture to vote for me! In order to vote, you must become a VIP member and please be sure to check your junkmail if you don't happen to receive a verification email. Thank you!
Anyways, we're all in our rooms now and about to go to bed soon.
Bye for now!
Hit reality T.V. show So You Think You Can Act is the year's biggest televised acting competition, taking viewers into the world of drama and quite frankly; flat out competition! Join host Megha Sandhu as she introduces some of Canada's most hopeful actors as they compete for an acting contract with one of Canada's most prestigious acting agencies. Judges Susan Sarandon, Richard Gere, Kiefer Sutherland and a surprise guest judge will have sole control over who's crowned the So You Think You Can Act champion.
The show features a tiered format where auditions are held all across Canada's major cities. Hopeful contestants of all ages will be asked to perform a solo skit of their choice, be it a comedy, a drama and from any time period. If allowed to move forward, hopefuls are then put through another round of auditions to test their ability to adapt to different styles of acting. At the end of this process, a small number of actors (20) are chosen as finalists to be featured on the show. These actors move on the competition's main phase, where each week, they have 5 days to train and rehearse a pre-selected short play. Day 6 is show day, where all actors perform the pre-selected play in front of the judges, a live audience and to the rest of Canada. Actors compete for the votes of the broadcast viewing audience which, combined with the input of the panel of judges, determines which actors advance to the next stage from week to week.
So You Think You Can Act will reach audience members from all across Canada and the USA. Whether you're a hopeful actor yourself or just love the art, this is the show for you! The long rehearsal hours and behind the scenes footage will surely attract anyone's attention!
We are honoured to have the TORONTO ACADEMY OF ACTING FOR FILM & TELEVISION and MAC Cosmetics as our official sponsors! The Toronto Academy of Acting School has some of the finest acting teachers who work in the film & television industry as seasoned professional Actors or Film & Television Directors. It it for this reason that the TAA and So You Think You Can Act make great partners!
We are equally as glad to be having Mac Cosmetics as the primary providers for our stage makeup. Stage makeup is as much a science as it is an art, requiring precision, practice, and a considerable amount of trial and error. It's also something any good performer needs to learn, as it's not only a way to enhance your looks or charisma onstage, but a valuable way to help you build or solidify your characters. It is for this reason that Mac products are trusted 100%!
The hour long So You Think You Can Act runs once weekly on CTV!
Hope you all tune in to watch!
With tourism having increasingly destrimental affects on a country's natural resources and on communities of the destinations visited, there is certainly a great need for more ethical tourism options.
The quality of the environment, both natural and made-made, is essential to tourism. However, tourism's relationship with the environment is complex, many activities can have adverse environmental effects. Many of these impacts are linked with the construction of general infrastructures such as roads and airports and of tourism facilities such as hotels, restaurants, shops, golf courses and marinas.
The negative impacts of tourism development can gradually destroy the environment resources on which it depends. Negative impacts from tourism occur when the level of visitor use is greater than the environment's ability to cope with this use within the acceptable limits of change ("The International Ecotourism Society"). However, tourism has the potential to create beneficial effects on the environment by contributing to environmental protection and conservation.
Ecotourism is a way to raise awareness of environmental values and it can serve as a tool to finance the protection of natural areas and increase their economic importance.
That being said, the first destination I'd love to visit with my two best friends is, Thailand. From what I hear, Ecotourism is currently a buzzword in the Thai tourism scene!
First, I'd like to go camping in Thailand's national parks with my best friends. Did you know that camping was a popular activity among Thai school students as well as foreign backpackers to Thailand long before the buzz word 'ecotourism' came into existence? That's because it is the cheapest accommodation to be found. Admittedly not as comfortable as staying in a hotel, resort or guest house, I think camping is simple, easy and gets you much closer to nature than would otherwise be possible.
After having camped out along the breathtakingly beautiful ocean, my best friends and I would go on a mountain climbing expedition in Ao Railey in Krabi, Thailand.
Next stop, off to scuba diving! Did you know that during the past 5-6 years, scuba diving has rapidly emerged as one of the most popular eco activities in this region? I learnt that, apart from the rewarding beauty, diving in Thailand is very economical! The average four-day, full certification course costs around 6,000 – 8,000 baht including all instruction, equipment and several open-water dives. That works out to about 160 – 200 Canadian dollars!
Then we'd visit Mae Hong Son, the capital of Thailand's northwestern-most province! Visitors come here for the unusual and beautiful natural scenery, the mountain trekking and to see the local hill tribe communities – one of which is the famous Karen long neck tribe!
Lastly, why not plan a day trip to Bangkok?! Here, we'd visit the impossibly bejewelled Grand Palace and if time permits, take a trip to Wat Arun, one of the oldest and best known landmarks in Bangkok and Wat Po which is home to a huge reclining Buddha!
In all, visiting Thailand with my best friends would be an amazing experience! Being able to travel in a responsible manner to natural areas that conserves the environment, all while trying to improve the well-being of local people…WHAT MORE COULD I ASK FOR?!
My friends and I would love knowing that the way in which we're traveling benefits the local population. That being said, ecotourism can definitely be fun – if not more fun that classical touring! Having a very hectic and demanding college schedule, we girls can often be under a lot of stress and pressure during the academic year. This trip would be the perfect opportunity to get involved and get active, all while learning so many new things and broadening our worldly knowledge!
Till next time!

July 1st, Canada Day – a day of celebration, fireworks and festivities here in Montreal but how did it all begin? Why does this day even exist? Who chose for July 1st to be THE DAY and what happened on this day many years ago?
Here, I decided to decode this holiday and find out the true reason for it's existence.
First off, Canada wasn't actually "born" on July 1st but the holiday celebrates the events that took place on this day. It turns out that, on July 1, 1867, the British North American Act created the Canadian federal government. This act basically stated that Canada would become an independant dominion (territory) of England, which is why Canada Day was originally called Dominion Day.
More specifically, on that day, three British colonies were formed into four Canadian provinces. The British Province of Canada was divided into the new Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and two other British colonies, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, also became provinces of Canada.
I also learnt that it was only in 1982, that the term Dominion Day changed to Canada Day after a vote in Parliament. However, not everyone was happy about this change. Some people felt that a 115-year-old part of Canadian heritage was lost. But, the new name stuck and every July 1, Canadians celebrate Canada Day with parades, fireworks, picnics and food!
Additionally, the Fathers of Confederation are basically the people who attended the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences in 1864 and the London Conference of 1866 in England, preceding Canadian Confederation.
On a less nerdy note, this Canada Day was extremely fun and memorable because I got to participate in the Canada Day Parade! So, the day began when I arrived two hours prior to the parade to greet as many participants as I could and discuss a run through of the parade. Here are a few pics prior to the parade;
I'd like to thank everyone for coming out and supporting me on the day of the parade. I never expected so many smiling faces and so much cheering!
Stay tuned for more updates on my preparation! 10 days left ahh!!

Hi everyone! So after a long two days of shooting and editing, I'm finally done both my Skyline and my Look Good, Do Good, Feel Good Video Challenges!
My Skyline shooting began in the morning where I was met with a party of tourists from all around the world. The video was shot from Mount Royal, a lookout that acts as a natural landmark and way to orient yourself here in Montreal. The lookout also rewards those who make their way to the summit with a wonderful view of the city. In fact, the Mont Royal summit has a lookout and park that were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famous for his work on Central Park in NYC. Here are some behind the scenes shots from my Skyline video challenge;
Check out my skyline video and feel free to click on the heart next to the title, if you liked the video
The next day I visited Angrion Park where I conducted a shoreline cleanup at a local pond for the Aveda Institute Professional Hair and Make-up School in Canada Look Good, Feel Good, Do Good Video Challenge. Given the opportunity to express my unique personality, I chose to lessen the pollution at this local pond as the environment and environmental awareness is something I'm quite passionate about. Ponds often provide oxygen, food and shelter for a variety of plant and animal life. However, the water in a pond must be kept clean if it is to remain a sustainable habitat for these organisms. The most noticeable pollution in ponds is the accumulation of garbage that has been dumped by humans. Anything from cans and food wrappers to rusted bicycles and old hubcaps can contribute to the pollution of a pond. This type of thoughtless human behavior not only makes the environment repulsive to look at, but it also destroys a lot of pond life. Have a look around your neighbourhood to see if you can find any wild ponds in need of a cleanup. Remember, Look Good, Do Good, Feel Good and help our environment! Here are a few behind the scenes pics from the day;
Check out my Look Good, Do Good, Feel Good video and please click the heart next to the title if you enjoyed it!
Stay tuned for a Canada Day blog post!

Hello everyone! So I'm back from India and to be honest, I'm experiencing mixed emotions . On the one hand, I'm trilled to be back in Canada but also super sad to have to have left behind all the amazing memories I shared with family and friends back in India. Nonetheless, it's time to move forward and run full swing into Miss Teen Canada-World 2012 preparation! So here's an overview of my journey!
Upon landing in New Delhi, India, I began with a road trip to Amritsar – a city in the state of Punjab in northwestern India, which also happens to be the centre of the Sikh faith and of the Golden Temple.
The first thing which struck me while driving on Indian roads was just how many people there were! People honking left and right, motorcycles coming just inches from your car – it was definitely an experience!
And of course, what would a road trip be without delicious Indian 'Dhaba' (road-side restaurants) food?! Here's a pic I snapped of my meal I had at a Punjabi Dhaba restaurant called Haveli. This particular dish is called Chole Bhature, a combination of chole (spicy chick peas) and bread called bhatoora.
After having reached Amritsar, I visited the Golden Temple, a very prominent Sikh Gurudwara, whose construction was completed in 1604.
Once my visit to Amritsar was over, I stopped off in Chandigarh where I visited Chandigarh Accountancy Solutions-one of my main sponsors for the pageant. I'd like to really thank the staff for their generosity and warm welcome.
Next stop was Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh a state in central India. There, I visited a local orphanage called Shri Rajkumaribai Bal Niketan, where I met and interacted with the children during their meal time. I came to learn that most of the children were girls who had been abandoned by their parents at a very young age. In fact, the orphanage lovingly adopted these children and ensured that they learnt a trade for their future endeavours and even took the responsibility for arranging their marriages; so much so that the girls were asked to visit the orphanage twice a year after their marriage to ensure that they were leading happy lives.
That same night, I visited the Gwari Ghat on the banks of river Narmada. The Gurudwara is located on the mountaintop and the temple of Godess Narmada is in the center of the Narmada river. In India, rivers hold a very important position. They are worshipped as the source of life, they give birth, sustain life and when people die, their ashes are submerged back into the holy waters to be distributed to the seven seas.
The next day, I made a visit to Jabalpur's Narmada River valley, famous for it's marble rocks. The valley is essentially a unique formation where the whole river flows for nearly 2 kilometers between varied coloured and tinted marble rocks.
I then payed a visit to the Women's Home Science College in Jabalpur. There, I had the pleasure of speaking to young teenage girls studying Fashion Design, about my title; Miss Teen Quebec World 2012 and how I got involved in the competition. They were all very curious to know how I did it and if I am nervous for the national pageant. While there, I tried to motivate the girls and stressed the importance of a balanced lifestyle. One can be a good student and know how to have fun as well!
That same day, I had an interview with the Indian media; Dainik Bhaskar, a local newspaper in Madhya Pradesh. They asked me questions related to my title and why I was visiting Jabalpur. I explained that this is the place where my dad is from and that I had come to visit family and give back to the community as best I could. What was funny was that I appeared on TV the same night, only a few hours after they had interviewed me! Here's a link to a mobile video I recorded from the TV (sorry for horrible video quality)!
Once my visit to Jabalpur was over, I stopped off in the country's capital; New Delhi. Here, I visited a number of sites including; Humayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar and the Hauz Khas Village.
What would any trip to India be without having visited the Taj Mahal?! Here's a pic I was able to capture in the scorching heat;
In the end, I made a short visit to an ISKCON Temple in Vrindaban, where devotees of Lord Krishna from all around the world take shelter.
In all, I can say that India was truly an eye opening experience which I will cherish for a life time! Stay tuned for more blogs on my preparation for Toronto!

Hi everyone! I'm currently in the UK (Nottingham to be precise)!
Yesterday, I took a tube trip down to central London where I was finally able to see the much anticipated (for me at least) National Portrait Gallery, which I had been wanting to see for the longest time.
London's National Portrait Gallery, in my opinion, houses one of the greatest collections of Western European portrait paintings in the world.
Being a Tudor fanatic, I was so excited to be able to see their collection of paintings of England's two strongest monarchs; King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.
For a bit of insight, The Tudors were a Welsh-English family that ruled England and Wales from 1485 to 1603 (in my opinion, one of the most exciting periods of British history). In brief, they ruled for 118 years and during their reign encouraged new religious ideas, overseas explorations and colonization.
Here's a pic I was able to snap of Queen Elizabeth I, while at the Tudor exhibition:
In fact, the National Portrait Gallery currently has "The Queen Art & Image" exhibition going on, marking the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Essentially, the exhibition brings together over fifty-five of the most remarkable and resonant images of Elizabeth II made during her reign.
Tickets are normally £ 6.00 and £ 5.50 for senior citizens. Check out "The Queen Art & Image" link above for further details on the National Portrait Gallery website.
Apart from my trip to London, I have been enjoying the beautiful scenic views from the countryside here in Nottingham.
I actually, just received an email confirming my spot in the annual Canada Day parade in Montreal! I come back home on June 20th and cannot wait for this event!
It's currently evening time here in Nottingham and I'm being called down to eat!
Bye for now!

Small wonder.
First you'll notice the little things. And we mean that literally. The console itself is smaller – so it'll fit neatly on the shelf. Because Style matters we're busting out the gloss black with chrome accents.
Wi-Fi in the house.
These days, everything is wireless. The new Xbox 360 is the only console with 802.11n Wi-Fi built in. You'll fi nd an unfettered connection to the ever-expanding entertainment possibilities of Xbox LIVE - including a fast and easy way to stream HD films and TV and play games with friends around the world.
Room to grow your entertainment.
While making the outside smaller, we decided to give a pretty serious boost to the inside - from huge to massive in one fell swoop. The built-in 250 GB drive has a ton of room to store films, games, saves, add-ons, photos, music and anything else that you can think of. And it's removable too, just in case you ever want to take it to a friend's house.
More ports, more play.
Connect more accessories and storage solutions with added USB ports. Now with a total of 5 ports, (3 back/2 front) you'll find more places to plug and play. Plus, in addition to the standard HDMI output, we've added an integrated optical audio out port for an easier connection to the booming sound of your A/V receiver.
A touching development.
It might not seem like a big deal, but the cool factor of capacitive touch buttons cannot be over stated. Everyone has grown accustomed to the non-button buttons on fancy smart phones, so we've added that functionality to the power and eject buttons.
Sounds like…
With the all-new and much quieter Xbox 360, the noise you'll hear is your own laughing, cheering and playing.
Hold on to your socks.
You're not ready. Not yet anyway. Kinect is making YOU the controller and it's going to blow you away. With a dedicated, proprietary port, the Xbox 360 250 GB is built specifi cally to connect seamlessly with the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor - and will have you up off the sofa and into the world.
The following are key features of the Xbox 360 250 GB:
- Dressed to impress: Sleek and lean in a gloss black finish, the Xbox 360 250 GB comes with an internal, removable hard drive and touch-sensitive buttons for switching on/off and disk ejection.
- The Xbox 360 that you've been waiting for: Connect with a faster wireless connection than any other console. Enjoy blazing speeds with built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi while streaming films or playing games on Xbox LIVE. Store more games and entertainment content with 250 GB of hard drive space.
- Kinect ready: Kinect will work with every Xbox 360, but the Xbox 360 250 GB console is specially designed for the easiest connection to controller-free fun. Just connect the sensor directly to the proprietary port on your console - no extra power supply needed.
- Backwards compatible: Don't worry; you'll still be able to connect the controllers and any other accessories that you already own to Xbox 360 250 GB while playing the best blockbuster games like "Halo Reach" and "Fable III". (External Xbox 360 Hard Drives and Xbox 360 Memory Units are not compatible with the new Xbox 360 console.)
Please note: Preowned Xbox may not include headset or ethernet cable.
It looks like Microsoft has hit a home run with its redesigned Xbox 360 console. According to GFK Chart-Track, the new 250GB Xbox has had the biggest launch for a "revised" home console in UK history. Not bad!
GFK Chart-Track announced that, over a two day period, the new console sold "around the same" amount as the original Xbox 360 did, when it was released all the way back in 2005. Although there are no figures to gawp at, it's apparent that the launch beat that of both the PlayStation 2 Slim and the PlayStation 3 Slim, both of which were also huge successes in their own right.
The new 360 is significantly smaller than the original console, and is "whisper quiet", with no detectable fan or disk drive sound. It's also got built-in Wi-Fi, and a roomy 250GB hard drive.
Many stores opened their doors at midnight on Thursday so punters could get their consoles as quickly as possible. The new Xbox 360 250GB costs 99.99, and has apparently been the subject of amazing demand.
Introducing the 250GB Xbox 360: Time to Trade Up?
Microsoft finished its E3 2010 press conference with a big surprise - the unveiling of the new 250GB Xbox 360. This one's slimmer, shinier and quieter than the original machine, and that bigger hard drive comes in handy for storing all those arcade games, movies and other delightful distractions that Xbox Live is chock full of.
But the original 120GB model is still a great console, so which one should you buy? And if you've already got an Xbox 360, is it worth investing in the new model? Here's a comparison of the machines' features to help you decide.Size
The 250GB Xbox 360 is 600 grammes lighter than its older counterpart, weighing in at 2.9kg. It's also 270mm across rather than 370mm, and slightly shorter with a height of 75mm. Depth-wise, the new console is actually bigger than the original - but only by a paltry 4mm.
In other words, it's well worth trading up for the 250GB model if you prefer a more slimline machine which will take up less space under your telly.
The new machine comes in any colour you like, as long as it's black. A nice shiny black, of course, for a sleeker, more high-tech look.
The original Xbox 360 is still available in grey and black, with a traditional matte finish which still looks good - but also has those funky Faceplates to help personalise your system, while there's no word on those yet for the New Xbox 250GB.
The 250GB features a new power button. It responds to the slightest touch rather than a firm push, which should appeal to fans of cutting-edge tech. Plus, the ring of light will only ever appear green, so there's no near to ever fear the red ring of death again.
Both machines have two USB ports on the front, but the 250GB model has got three round the back instead of just the one. It's also got a dedicated, powered port for the Kinect motion-sensing camera. If you're using Kinect with the old Xbox 360, you'll need to plug a separate power supply into the wall. Score for the New Xbox, then - the less cables the better, we reckon.
With 250GB on board, the new Xbox 360 has more than double the memory capacity of the original console. That said, the Elite's 120GB is still pretty impressive, providing plenty of space to store games, movies and music.
The new machine does have one distinct advantage when it comes to the disc drive - it's much quieter. If the whirr of the old 360's disc and fan bother you when trying to watch a film or play a game, consider upgrading so you can enjoy your entertainment in peace.
Whichever model you choose, the 360 gives you access to Microsoft's fantastic Xbox Live service. This lets you play games online, chat to friends, download game demos and extra content, plus choose from a huge library of downloadable games, films and music videos.
The advantage of the 250GB console is that it has a wireless adapter built-in, so you can get online without the need for an ethernet cable. If you have an original Xbox 360, you can pick up an adapter separately - or just go old school and plug your machine straight into the wall.
Both machines will play every single title in the massive library of games already out there for Xbox 360. That includes titles you can't play on any other console, like Halo, Gears of War, Fable II, Forza Motorsport and Crackdown 2. Then there are all those huge blockbusters - Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Final Fantasy...
Not to mention the fantastic range of Kinect games due to arrive this autumn. For kids there are titles like Kinectimals, where you get to interact with an adorable selection of big cats. Keep fit freaks will enjoy Your Shape - the Kinect camera is so sophisticated it can tell whether you're performing those yoga poses properly.
Or there's Kinect Adventures, a collection of action-packed mini-games which are perfect for party play... Adrenaline-fuelled racer Kinect Joy Ride, where you control cars just by using your own body movements... Motion Sports, which sees you and your friends competing in a giant virtual stadium...
In short, whatever you're into, Kinect offers something for everyone, and will be playable on both types of Xbox console.
This will be a big one for bargain hunters. The new Xbox 360 launched at 99.99 - not unreasonable at all, especially given its size and feature set. That said, other, bigger Xbox models are available for rather less, but aren't as all-singing, all dancing. They'll definitely do the job, however.
Of course, you could always opt for a compromise and bag a Limited Edition 250GB Super Elite. It's not small, slinky, Wi-Fi'd up or Kinect-ready, but does boast a 250GB Hard Drive of its own, features exclusive patterning for Forza 3, Final Fantasy XIII or the juggernaut that is CoD: MW2, and will set you back a bit less than the New Xbox.
So... Which to choose?
This is a bit of a tough one. Sure, the new 250GB console's stylings are sleek. But the design of the original Xbox 360 is a classic, and at 120GB the hard drive still offers plenty of storage space.
However, the new machine just comes out on top. The slimmer, shinier design is impressively modern and high-tech looking. Extra features like the built-in Wi-Fi adapter, bigger hard drive and dedicated Kinect port help to give the 250GB model the edge.
So if you've already got an Xbox 360, it's well worth considering an upgrade. If you haven't, and the latest technology and sleekest stylings are important to you, the 250GB console is the one to go for. Or, if the size and built-in wi-Fi aren't an issue for you, then a 250 GB Super Elite could be the ideal compromise. The choice is yours!

This bolts onto the bottom of your Wireless Controller and allows you to type messages to friends on MSN while playing games.
You'll find GAME's full range of Xbox accessories here.
Xbox boast one of the most comprehensive game catalogues in the industry, with games to suit everyone.
This is an ideal cross over console; great for families but equally brilliant for serious and competitive gamers too.
If you've been enjoying the thick soup of rumour that's been swirling around the next Xbox console, it's time to reach for a crusty roll and start mopping up - Microsoft has set a date for the official reveal: May 21st. You've got until then to savour those last few spoonfuls of frenzied speculation. After that, it's on to the main course of delicious fact-steak drizzled with anticipation sauce.
For some, the next generation can't come soon enough. This year marks the Xbox 360's eighth birthday, which makes it positively mature ages in console years. To put it in perspective, when the 360 launched in November 2005, there was no such thing as an iPhone or iPad, Twitter was still something that canaries did and Facebook was an obscure website exclusively for American college kids.
Obviously the world has changed but how will Microsoft respond to the new landscape? An improved Kinect sensor will be built into the console, reckon some. It'll require an internet connection at all times and will block second hand games, say others.
Back in 2005, Microsoft managed to get a head start on SONY by launching the 360 way ahead of the PlayStation 3. This time around, it's SONY that has beaten Microsoft to the punch, revealing the features of the PlayStation 4, if not the actual console itself, earlier this year.
Microsoft has kept quiet so far, but now we know there's less than a month to go before everyone will have their cards on the table. Then the real fun begins.

FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State volleyball team beat Colorado State, the defending Mountain West Champions, in five sets on Thursday night in the Save Mart Center. The Bulldogs (11-7, 4-2 MW) won sets two, three and five for the victory over the Rams.
"It's a fantastic win for us," said junior Korrin Wild of the win over Colorado State. "They are a great team and we were able to take away their offense with our serve and pass. Once we honed in on our targets, we were pretty much unstoppable."
The Bulldogs have won six of their last eight games and won two-straight.
"This is a tough conference top to bottom and beating one of the better teams in the conference is a huge win for us," said Netherby-Sewell. "I don't think a lot of teams will be Colorado State. This puts us back in the hunt again."
Wild had her best performance of the year and recorded her seventh double-double with 23 kills and digs. She hit .458 and tallied three blocks. Wild also recorded one of three Bulldog aces and leads the conference with 29 in 2012.
"Nobody had an answer for her," said head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell. "I don't think anybody in the world could've stopped her tonight. She was the player I know she can be. She played smart, competitive and smooth. She made huge plays for us tonight."
The Bulldogs opened the match with a 6-1 run to take an early lead. The Rams tied up the first set 12-12 after a short 5-2 run. Fresno State surged ahead with an 11-2 run regaining the lead.
Lauren Albertson hammered home the set-point as the Bulldogs won the opening set 25-15. The junior hit 1.000 in the first set with three kills. She finished the night with 11 kills and four blocks. Setter Barbara Alcantara hit a .800 with a set-high four kills.
In the second set, Colorado State led early with a 4-1 opening run. The Bulldogs cut the Rams lead to 9-7 with a short 5-2 run. The 'Dogs rallied late in the second cutting CSU's lead to two-points, but the Rams held on to win the set 25-20.
After two sets, Marissa Brand led the team with eight kills. The redshirt junior ended the night with 16 kills and 10 digs for her 10th double-double of the season. Megan Callahan hit .714 through the first two sets with five kills and two blocks. The Bulldogs headed to intermission with the match tied 1-1.
Fresno State trailed CSU 9-7 to start the third set. The Bulldogs tied the set 13-13 and went on to gain the lead with a quick 3-1 run. Alcantara recorded a service ace giving the 'Dogs a 21-18 advantage. The 'Dogs held to win the third set 27-15.
The fourth set began evenly matched, but Colorado State started to pull ahead with a 10-8 lead. Callahan ended the longest rally of the night with a kill as the 'Dogs trailed the Rams by one point. A pair of blocks from Maci Murdock and Katie Pearson gave the Bulldogs a 14-13 lead, their first of the set.
Murdock collected a team-high six blocks against Colorado State. Pearson came off the bench tallying three blocks and a spark of energy in the fifth set for the Bulldogs.
"Katie was my little secret weapon," Netherby-Sewell said with a smile. "She went in and did what I asked her to do, which was block the ball and she did just that."
The Rams came back tying the set 18-18 and went on a 4-1 run taking a 22-19 lead late in the fourth set. Albertson and Pearson came up with a huge block to tie the set up 22-22. Another block from Murdock gave Fresno State set-point, but the Rams answered with a kill of their own. Colorado State won the close fourth set, 28-26 forcing a fifth set.
Wild recorded back-to-back kills in the fifth set giving the Bulldogs a 5-3 lead over Colorado State. Pearson went up to the net and came down with the biggest block of the night giving the 'Dogs a 10-7 lead. The Bulldogs held on to win the set 15-12.
"This win puts us one step closer to our goal," said Wild. "Not a lot of teams will be able to beat Colorado State."
With the win, the 'Dogs improve to 4-3 in matches that are forced to five sets. Fresno State hosts Wyoming on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Save Mart Center.

Travel Warning: Frozen Fog Poses Bridge Problems
By: Marci Manley, KARK 4 News
Updated: December 12, 2012
"I did peel ice of my windshield the other day, and I was a little concerned by that."
Having just moved to Arkansas from California, winter weather driving on icy roads is something he's not fully prepared for.
"My tactic is just to be very careful and drive slow," he said. "I'm going to try and be aware of everything around me.
But even experienced winter weather drivers may not notice danger right under their wheels, when there's no sleet or snow to be seen. A dense layer of fog in the overnight and morning hours when the air is freezing should be on driver's radars.
"You're telling me fog is freezing in mid air?" Gardner said. "I guess it makes sense, but I've never thought about it."
"It'll trick motorists," said David Nilles with the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department. "When the sun is out and the sky is blue, but when we have the fog over the river it settles onto the lanes in a frozen state."
As the sun sets and the temperatures drop below 32 degrees, bridges can become a slippery trap for travelers.
"It's hard to tell if that surface is frozen or not especially after dark or in the early morning hour," Nilles said.
Those areas, bridges and overpasses, are suspended and don't have the ground's additional warmth to rely on like roads.
"The air travels beneath the bridge and overpass -- so you're going to have cooler temperatures," Nilles said.
With the weather pattern holding steady for a freezing, foggy Thursday, those who have had a close call like Gardner are offering a tip or two to those who haven't.
"There was ice on the bridge, our car started to swerve, and it just changed our whole outlook on life," he said. "It was very scary. So, I would tell people to think with your head when you're driving out there -- and not your foot."
The key to staying safe, Gardner and Nilles agree, is taking it slow.
"You want to let off the speed and leave plenty of room in front you between you and another car," Nilles said. "If you do hit a patch of ice, let off the accelerator and try to correct your steering, but don't overcompensate."
When it comes to driving in the fog, visibility can pose another danger. You may be tempted to turn on your high beams, but you'd be better off turning on the windshield wipers, defroster, and low beams for the best visibility.

Presenting the All-New BMW 535d Clean Diesel Soon to be Available at Schomp BMW
With so many eco-friendly acronyms abound (EV, PHEV, TDI etc.,) it can be difficult to understand green auto technology to the fullest. What's more, it can be equally difficult to determine which of these low- to zero-emissions technologies is the best choice for you.
Luckily many automakers offer at least one model in their new lineups for each type of alternative fueltrain. And, this even transcends into the luxury sector and specifically, new BMW?

Macoupin County Jail
The historic 1869 Macoupin County Jail was designed by E.E. Meyers. It was built using the "cannon ball" method which prevented jail breaks by making it nearly impossible to remove the blocks. This unique medieval-inspired fortress housed many lawbreakers during its 119 years of use, but only one prisoner escaped. He was soon apprehended a few blocks from the jail.

World Christmas Parade
Every weekend before Christmas a different group of elves puts on a big parade. It is a lot of fun. After all, everyone at the North Pole loves a parade!
Tonight, the elves from different countries put on their big parade. It is one of the happiest of all the parades.
Every year we have different countries in the parade (the elves have to take turns after all!). Would you like to hear more about the parade?
Of course, there has to be something along the parade route so everyone knows where to stand. So, the elves put up strings with little flags from all the countries.
This year the elves from Australia were first. Those silly elves wore bathing suits.  They pretended to be at a snow-white beach. (OK, it actually was a snow-white beach — because it WAS snow!  ). Clumsy the Elf even pretended to go surfing. You can imagine how good he was at it!  He did some pretty crazy wipe-outs right into the snow!
It is too cold here for the six white boomers (kangaroos) I use to pull my sleigh in Australia. So the elves dressed up like them. They even had the baby elves in their pouches! Finally, there was a float with elves doing "Carols by Candlelight".
Then came the girl elves from Sweden. They looked very pretty. They were dressed all in white and they wore crowns of candles. It is something they do for St. Lucia Day too.
The elves from Norway made lutefisk.  Then they ran around trying to find someone to eat it! Everybody laughed!
The Caribbean elves do a Junkanoo carnival for us. Can you see them in the photo? They have lively music. They have very fancy floats. The dancers wear really fancy costumes too! They get everyone up and dancing.  I always get up and dance too.  Yes, even old Santa Claus can "shake his booty"! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Isn't it fun what people do at Christmas around the world? They sure do many different things!  Would you like to see more of the world at Christmas? Then go to my "Christmas around the World" webcam page to see more!
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
P.S. What things do you like to do at Christmas?  Would it be fun to see all the different things people do at Christmas? (You can leave a message for me here. Or, scroll down to see what others have written!)

Nebulizing glutathione
Posted 11-17-2009 at 07:16 PM by barbara
Rib is all healed up. I am nebulizing glutathione twice a day and my breathing is really improving. I also add a drop of HGF each time. This is part of my post stem cell therapy and I have to say it is making a difference.

Hallo Barbara,
do you have some problems while nebulizing gluthatione ? is there some caution using this ?

The only problems I have had with nebulizing glutathione is that at first it caused a lot of coughing and sputtering and I had to continually stop the nebulizer until that stopped and I could continue on. I also got more short of breath immediately following the nebulization. I kept at it however, and now am able to easily nebulize for 10 minutes. I have zero shortness of breath. I have also been able to reduce the two times a day nebulizing to one time which I do each morning. This treatment has done wonders for me.

Hallo barbara thank you.
My doubt was linked to a try we performed with jaluronic acid high density (yabro), because an italian doctor studied and tells that this is highly helpful for emphysema. My wife had some problems like you had with gluthatione and stopped. Maybe she should try to go on with this.Posted 01-05-2010 at 12:00 PM by Mario Antonio Morselli -
There really are no side effects that I am aware of with glutathione. I think many people give up because of the unpleasantness which occurs when a person first starts using it. I would have her stick to a twice a day regimen to begin with 1.5 ml liquid glut mixed with an equal amount of saline. Nebulize for 10 minutes and stop when she starts coughing or sputtering and then start again. I used albuterol when I felt more short of breath immediately afterward. I am now down to nebulizing once a day and have no problems whatsoever. My shortness of breath is totally gone. I think if she is going to try it again, she should give it at least 6 weeks to get results.

Important advice for people starting to try nebulized Glutathione
A pharmacist at a compounding pharmacy where I got my nebulized Glutathione suggested taking a nebulized asthma medication like Xopenex with Glutathione for the first 10 days you try inhaling Glutathione. Initially the glutathione can make you short of breath at first because it's detoxifying so much. I did this for the first 10 days of trying Glutathione and then I was completely able to tolerate Glutathione without feeling like I was going to wheeze and have an asthma attack like I did before when I tried it without using Xopenex initially.Posted 03-26-2012 at 06:53 PM by rachel

A type of knot used in hangings. I hate the band "slipknot"
Apr 14, 2003
add a video
1. | slip knot | ||
A "gimmick" band that has outlived it's 15 minutes of fame. The band members openly admit that they are not real musicians, and that they are nothing more than travelling clowns in jumpsuits. 90 percent of slipknot lyrics consist of the word "fuck". Slipknot fans are stupid. Latest slipknot lyrics: "fuckety-fuck fuck this and fuck that, fuckety fuckety fuck". Fuck.
3. | slip knot | ||
Slip Knot is a "band" that teenagers listen to so their parents will freak out. Their "music" is in fact soo bad that the band members openly admit they are not musicians. So if your a teenager and you want to punish your parents and feel bad about the world; paint your fingernails black and listen to slip knot. Slip knot is so god awful that when I hear it I contemplate using a slip knot on myself!
4. | Slip Knot | ||
It is a describing word for someone who loves looks like they love the band tool, Is really skinny and wears
the pants with the crazy wide legs. They usually would smoke Newport 100's, and have hickies all over their neck. Chain wallets and super fat girlfriends that give you dirty looks, and they both would have really bad tattoos. "dude, check out the slip knot coming our way". or
"I like Bobby, but he always hangs out with that slip knot kid" or " you smoke cigarettes? That's so slip knot" |
5. | slip knot | ||
Quite possibly, one of the most idiot and downright gay bands ever created. They're image is gay, all zombie-gothic. They're music is the lamest shit I've ever had the disgrace of having touched the sensory organs in my ears; all it ever consists of is screaming and death. They're almost as gay as ICP. -Dude, Slip Knot is the shit!!
-Fuck you, flaming fag. |
6. | slip knot | ||
One of the heaviest bands to ever come out. This guy above me probally dates his mom Dude, Slip Knot kicked ass at WLRS Fest!
7. | slip knot | ||
THE heaviest band around now the faces of heavy metal music The guy 2 up from me likes dicks

It is a sight almost as surreal as it is disturbing: three boys, on the cusp of being teenagers, digging furiously with their hands and sticks. It is in some ways playtime, but there is little innocence left in this refugee camp sandwiched between Syria's north and an unwelcoming Turkish border.
Muhammad Zafir says their frantic excavations are in case "jets come and drop bombs," he said. "We put children here to hide them, but of course we will make it much bigger for 20 to 30."
It is a testament to their fast and unnatural path into manhood: Hours that should be spent idling or playing football are lost to digging an air raid shelter. Muhammad can explain the different noises made by jet missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and heavy machine guns. The three boys are also digging peepholes into their structure, so they could see outside during any attack. It's rudimentary and made entirely of mud and finger marks, but it is all they have.
This is life for the 8,000 Syrians who fled everything, hoping for something but ending up with little.
Despite being some 100 yards from a NATO power -- the doorstep of Europe -- and a developed economy, they scavenge for wood and burn plastic to keep warm. They chop down weeds to supplement their faltering diet. Some 22 months into the war -- and despite the world's sympathy -- they face a winter of freezing temperatures and uncertain food.
Refugees in the Bab al-Salam camp just inside Syria can see the Turkish refugee camps from the roofs of their buildings, but Turkey for now will not accept them. So they are caught between the war they fled and the outside world that will not embrace them. They number some 200 families and growing, huddled around plastic tents that work as temporary shelter during summer but will do little to protect them from the frost of winter.
Husan Shammo used to work in the nearby town of Azaz for the Red Crescent and is now the closest thing this sprawling camp has to an organizer. He explains why so many ended up shut out by Turkey.
"Of course 80% of those here came hoping to cross into Turkey," he said, "but the Turkish government stopped hosting over six weeks ago. People are furious, and we can't provide a lot of their daily needs."
Here, within earshot of Turkey's highways, you can also hear the distant but occasional thud of artillery -- a reminder that the war they fled remains the worse option over the squalor they now endure. Winter, however, will be their greatest enemy in the months ahead. Dozens of families have taken advantage of the concrete truck shelters at this border crossing, moving their tents into the hangar-like structures, hoping the roofs will provide a little more shelter.
But for Abdul Qadr al-Hasan's daughter Siham, the cold came too fast. Holding his surviving daughter, the thick-set man describes how Siham died. "She was not sick. She didn't have any problems at all. We were up late that night and we were playing with her," he said. "We woke up the next morning ... She was curled into a ball from the cold. We buried her in the village. Her sister is afraid now of the cold."
