Yunnan: Day Three
... hour in the same spot.
We arrived in Jianshui after that long traffic jam. After checking in the hotel, I went to eat with Miguel and others. Miguel led us to a fast food place. The worker was so slow. It took over thirty minutes for us to get our food.
Miguel guided us to the Confucius temple. People complained about paying five dollars for admission. They ditched Matt and me. I couldn't understand why anybody ...
Jianshui the story
... even opium. In the house there was one room which told the colorful history of the residence and the family. A funny thing I noticed, that the history was missing for the years around 1940 to 1980, which is the Cultural Revolution, in where I expect this rich family was called class-enemy and got some big problems, lost money, lives etc, all for no reason, just because Mao needed to keep his power (I hope my blog doesn't get blocked by the Chinese goverment now:p).
Crossing the border and stepping back in time
... I think the only white people (if any) who come here are in groups!!
Our hotel in Jianshui was actually a truly delightful stop. The Zhu Family Garden Hotel was built in 1903 by two brothers for themselves and their families. They built it with a huge and gorgeous garden and it is like stepping into a museum – except that you get to live there for a night. The downsides were no AC (not ...
Two faces....
... hostel, but with its absolute stunning views over the terraces it is the place to stay. The next morning, before dawn we gather together with our new friends at their hostel. From there it is an easy and short walk way to the Duoyishu scenic area. This is the most beautiful natural and cultural landscape of Yuanyang Terraces, and it is the best place to go if you wish to photograph the sunrise. The terraces in this scenic area, including Duoyishu, Aichun, and Dawazhe, are more ...
Amazing paddy fields ;-)))
... of inflated tourist prices and were greeted very friendly everywhere. Even though we couldn't really speak with anyone (there seemed to be just one English speaking person in the whole town), we somehow communicated and felt very welcome.
Yes, this area is absolutely gorgeous and we felt honored to be able to visit such a wonderful region! Places like Yuanyang and it's people surely make traveling for us as amazing and wonderful as it ...

Why are most rich people so insular & selfish? I know if earned millions I would help the local community.
They are rich because they have been greedy. Rich people get that way by exploiting poor people and making as big a profit out of them as they can.

So greedy people who exploit people are the very types who don't give a damn about people in need. In fact they are the ones who look down their noses at the poor as being inferior losers who have no right to live.
Though many of the super rich are in fact like you say I know quite a few rich people who have helped me out by creating work around their house for me that really didn't need to be done. They just knew I needed the work.
I would try to find something truly life changing for a lot of people. Maybe a new drug or treatment could be devised. Maybe I would just dress like a bum and leave money for poor people that need help. Maybe I would adopt a child that needed love. I don't know. I don't think cars and houses would do it for me.
Being poor or rich has nothing to do with being insular or selfish. We all have it one way or another regardless of our status in life. It seems most rich are because they are often in the news/media. :)

I admire your passion to help. We can help even if we are not rich. :)
Most "rich" people do help the local community. Just check you the contribution lists for most community projects. Also, the "rich" pay the bulk of local property taxes and State income taxes.
You have no way of knowing what you would do if you had millions of dollars. Most people who win those big lottery jackpots are broke and ruined in a year or two. There are many rich people who help other people. I am not rich, but I have no right to accuse people of something I am not sure of-- and I really have no idea what other people do with their money.
Attitude comes from way of thought, not money.
If you had millions you would be forced (for your protection) to donate incognito. Wealthy people do give all the time. It's not about showing off. It's about the 'GIFT'
Maybe they were Insular and Selfish when they were Poor too!
That's why you and I are not rich. We don't want to go out there and **** people over, in order to make the big money.
You don't get rich by caring about anyone but yourself.
You gain wealth by watching how you spend. We gain by saving for tomorrow because we want our family to be safe. We pay our bills on time and don't buy a new car every year. Are you wanting people to build a billboard sign and have it read FREE MONEY?
I have a 2007 Toyota. My house is mortgage free. I don't have all the new gadgets. Don't need a TV. My priorities is making sure my children and grandchildren are safe. But yes I have money in the bank. It's gonna stay there.
That doesn't make you rich.
You have the right idea. You'll never be the one with your hand out for someone else's money
That is the point. JJ is not destitute. He has Internet. If it's from his Phone he probably paid too much for this cell strictly because it's trendy. Yet he complains Rich people aren't standing on the street corner passing out their money.
Yes I buy a lotto ticket. I purchase One a month, Never received a penny. But I would help my family first. Not my entire town. Most people would blow it on a cruise and still cry because the bank Just took their home. One needs to have common sense when it comes to money.
I grew up POOR. I didn't want my life that way and have held on to certain goals.
The "milk the rich" mentality comes from the class warfare mentality that we seem to be seeing more and more. Its easier to have a "give me, give me" approach to life than to work hard for what one has and made intelligent choices with our assets and our lives.
As my dad says, "you don't get rich by helping others".
Yeah, but Bill Gates is a rich guy to the super rich. I suppose it also depends on how you come in to that sort of money. It's a terrible shame, even more so that it isn't exclusive to people but entire nations.
No, I'm talking about how certain governments would rather spend excessive amounts of money on killing people in war and finding oil than they would on eradicating poverty. The Australian PM is due to completely cut spending on foreign aid.
What world are you living in? I don't know how you define "rich". But just look at the donor and support lists of charities, etc. Then look at the World's Richest People list. There's a large correlation between the two.
As far as politicians..... they are in it for the money and power.
Donations are relative. I'm fairly certain the point has been made that there are expectations (which fall onto a limited few of the richest, not generally the rich. There are many rich people who don't pay anything to charity) who do pay considerably to charities and whatnot, but a larger majority that don't, or pay limited. Poverty actually has a price tag easily met (even easier by countries) yet people choose to ignore it, and I was getting to nations as it's in the 'bigger picture'.
But many do get rich WHILE helping others.
I am by no means "rich", but I do live in a gated community. I don't know where you get the idea that we don't interact with the local people. If you're saying that we don't walk through the housing projects daily, you are correct. But, I suggest that the average middle class American avoids the projects like the plague.
My family participates in several public service groups. My husband has taught Junior Achievement classes at a public middle school.
Keep in mind that the "rich" employ the local people you cite.
Since you want to talk about roads, consider that our local government refused to resurface the main road to our subdivision for more than 10 years although our average resident pays well in excess of $10,000 annually in property taxes. We finally got fed up and paid the town's part of the project from our own money.
Every person here worked hard for what we have and made rational financial decisions. I drove Toyotas rather than a Lexus. Our first home was 1300 sq ft . I bought clothes on sale. I own a regular cell phone, not a $400 smart phone that I upgrade every 2 yrs,
Its easy to point your finger at those who have more than some others. Instead of wasting your energy pointing that finger, you should use that energy working hard to reach the same level.
But, if you want class warfare, remember the rich can afford bigger and better weapons.
Lets address the big box store issue first. The reason that the big box stores prices are lower than the smaller stores is a simple economic principle and fact. ... efficiency of scale. Do you want to pay more for a product when you can pay less? If you and the others in your town don't want the big boxes to replace the smaller local stores, there a simple solution.... shop at the local stores and avoid the big boxes. Also, ever buy something on the internet,perhaps from Amazon??? If so, you're also helping to close down the local stores.
Now, to address the corrupt local officials. Aren't they elected by the people of the community? Isn't there a recall mechanism where you live? Are you circulating a recall petition?
As far as a rights to set up a private village - why wouldn't they have the right to do so? I'm certain that you would prefer to live in a home surrounded by other nice homes and not a ghetto. The reason that we are living in a comfortable lifestyle is that we invested in ourselves -education, hard work, financial responsibility, etc. We both came from blue collar, non-union backgrounds. We attended a local state university. In the late 1980's, the industry my husband worked in folded and out income was cut by as much as 40% for almost 3 years. We cut back on expenses,didn't miss a house note, we paid our bills, remained active in the community.
We busted our butts for what we have, and I will never apologize for that.
One thing that I agree with is your no brains comment. Unfortunately, it seems that more and more, we find people who aren't willing to work on their weaknesses and find jobs careers that are within their abilities.
If today, we gave every adult in this country $1,000,000 within 2 yrs we would again have an emerging underclass. Many would gamble it away, drink it away, spend it on short term pleasures, etc.
Very few would use it for education, save a substantial part of it or invest a substantial part of it.
We are seeing the growth of a gimme, gimme, gimme society and economy. If you want to be a part of that and feel sorry for your self - so be it.
The fallacy of your statement is that you think that people should be given things, housing, food. Yes, there are a small percentage of individuals that for various reasons can not be expected to work. But the vast majority of the people who are on the dole are quite capable of working. In order to receive all of the things you suggest they should be required to perform some substantial form of public service if they can not find other work. Cleaning streets, washing statues, helping in schools, etc should be work that they are required to perform. As far as free healthcare - nothing is free. Your taxes pay for it. And if the few people I know who have lived in your country are any indication, there is a two tiered healthcare system. Anyone who wants timely, quality health services has to purchase additional private (and rather expensive) coverage.
You are correct, people are not equal. We are all different. What U.S. democracy provides is the equal right in achieve based on our strengths, our weaknesses and most importantly our work ethic.
My husband and I certainly did not come from privilege. We worked hard, we set reasonable goals, we seized every chance we found to further our knowledge and we were rewarded for it.
There is no excuse for anyone to not have a permanent address. Churches, charities and the government both there and here provide services and shelter. For the most part those who live on our streets have chosen to drop out of society and live that way.
Several weeks ago, a neighbor saw a young man on a street corner begging money. My neighbor offered the man $50 and lunch to help with a small. non labor intensive job. The young man refused....
My sympathy goes only so far. We (western society) has become too accepting of those who wont put out the effort but want the rewards. Tens of thousands of jobs go unfilled every day in this country, not because the standards are so high, but because no one makes application.

RE: Camp Hill Cemetery
Thanks, Jim.
I have only recently agreed to take some cemetery pictures, so I sometimes just do it on a whim. I'll go back to look at the Langley marker for a picture. I looked for names but had only found a Catherine with the wrong dates. Otherwise I was looking for names and not thinking of dates. I intend to return there soon, for one requester wanted other related pictures as a follow up.
Thanks for the information.

Katana has become a symbol for Japan. Also known as Samurai sword, it roots in a really long time ago and leaves a deep impression on lots of people. Nowadays, since cosplay becomes a popular entertainment activity, most people do love to put those shape swords into good use. But believe it or not, it won't be easy to make a katana for cosplay, especially after you follow us to pay a visit to the Japan Katana Forging Research Institution below.
In Japan, it's called as かたな or つるぎ, which is one of the three most popular swords across the world. According to shape and size, it can be divided into Tachi, Uchikatana, Wakizashi, Tantou, etc.
Katana is not only a kind of weapon, but also a beautiful artwork or artistic product. How can such an item that is subsided by history be made? Now, let's explore the secret of the Japan Katana Forging Research Institution.
The signboard is a little small and the facade of Japan Katana Forging Research Institution is a little tattered. This is really disharmonious with the worldwide influence of katana, XD.
Sword is originally a kind of weapon to kill people. It's a lethal weapon for human beings. But katana is beyond of lethal weapon. It's an artwork with sense of beauty. Common katana has a proportion of 1: 4 on hilt and blade. It's held on hilt by both hands and powerful while hacking. Its bend degree is controlled at the place of 16.7mm below the blade top. The biggest power lies in there, rather fitting the mechanics.
In Japan, katana makers are called as bladesmith, Seiken no Burakkusumisu or sword worker. While making a katana, a rather high-end technique is gathered. As a whole, after making the blade, quenching and polishing, bladesmith needs to make white wooden handle to keep the blade for sale. But the hilt, scabbard and Tan belong to another manufacturing line. They will be decorated by professional metal workers. In the Japanese history, sword workers have different factions. Some of them are even exclusive workers from shogunate.
Go to factories of making swords, you will find all katana are fully handmade. They are processed by experienced old workers personally. Lots of time is spent on making a katana. Workers have never stopped thinking about improving the making methods. Raw materials are high-class Tamahagane in Japan, which will only produce deluxe artworks.
Tamahagane is forged by a traditional indigenous method in Japan. It refers to a kind of steelmaking way under low temperature. The furnace temperature is never beyond 100℃. This method seems primitive. But compared with modern high temperature steelmaking ways, it more easily produces pure and high-quality steel.
But steel forged by high temperature is rather soft and easier to be forged to the desirable shape. Steel forged by low temperature is a little hard and difficult to be forged. So to speak, making katana is a manpower intensive work. Blood and sweat get quality in return.
Pill forging is a crucial process during forging a katana. It means that bladesmith heats the steel to be transparently red and forges it by beating. When the heat is open while being thumped, fold it and beat it over and over. After times' thumping, the steel can be extended to the fullest.
In most cases, the steel needs to be folded 7 or 8 times. Sometimes it will be folded by 20 to 30 times. In each time's thumping, more than 100 times are needed. By this step, impurity in steel like sulphur and carbon can be cleared away to enhance the elasticity and tenacity of steel.
Quenching is definitely so-called thermal treatment. In Japan, it's called as Mizuheshi. From the view of modern material theory, this step enables bladesmith to control the carbon content in steel.
A circular model is used on both the sword point and the whole blade of katana. The phenomenon of blade being arc is due to the collocation of steel and quenching.
The packaging method of katana is rather tasteful. Different decorations are used onto diverse categories in different eras. Katana, widely known all over the world, is not a kind of weapon, but an artwork. It has a rather high artistic value for collectors.
To make a katana is different with to make a costume or a pair of shoes for cosplay. It's much more difficult and technological. Thus, those bladesmithes deserve saluting.
Hyetaya, a pretty girl believes in the personal quote of "look forward, don't look bad unless regrets", accepted our cosplayer interview today. She is interested in cosplay, anime and KH I & II, FinalFantasy, CallofDuty, etc are her favorite games. Having made much wonderful cosplay performance, she absolutely deserves applauding. Now, take a look at her interview content.
1. Please Introduce yourself first.
I've known to everyone who knows me as Hyetaya. I live California, participates almost every cosplay events if I could. I cosplayed since 4 years now, and I am the member of cosplay team called, "ToxicCandy". I just graduated my high school. I am partially Taiwanese, Japanese and Korean. I can speak four different languages: Korean, English, Chinese and some of Spanish.
2. What does cosplay mean to you?
Cosplay is the way I could express myself. I enjoyed a lot when I cosplay, I can feel myself is living my life. Cosplay is the way I could exit from my reality, being other characters that I wished to become as.
3. What was your first cosplay?
Agito from Air gear at AnimeExpo 2008-9. I cannot remember the exact date for it, but I can remember myself back then…how horrible I was and how much I improved now compare to my first cosplay.
4. Does your family support your cosplay?
Yes. My mother actually likes me more when I cosplay and took really good pictures. She shares with father too. It just, my baby brother is accepting the fact I cosplay, but not like it much.
5. What is your most memorable cosplay experience?
Anime Expo 2010. I was cosplayed as Kagamine Len, Imitation black version. That was the first time I joined the Vocaloid gathering. It was pretty fun.
6. Any other cosplay plan in 2011?
I have lots of plan is coming up. I upload any upcoming plans on following sites, any changes made for it too:
Please do check those links for my upcoming plans and changes according to it.
7. Do you make your costumes yourself or buy them?
I'm just starting to make my costumes. (but I think it's not working well) I usually buy the costumes or make it together with my team members.
8.Any other cosplayers you like?
…There are lots of my idols. First of all, Dearest Saya who passed away..she was my biggest mentor of cosplaying. Sakuya, Hibiki Touya, Singi, Kotaro, HEKI, Chiza, SSIN, Arisa, Kipi, Kuryu, KANAME, Yugene FAY, Yolkler, IRVY, Shin, Nokutesu, TASHA, Tomiah, haji.
9. Do some changes happen to you after cosplay?
I learned how to wear make ups, improved in fashion, hair styling, making clothes…stuffs. Cosplay actually do changed my life a lot in variety ways.
10. Any advice you wanna share with cosplay newbies?
Please, if you cosplaying have at least some respects for your characters which you cosplaying for. I see lots of people who just wear wigs without wig nets, which it makes you're wig and you're real hair get mixed. It makes you're cosplaying is very crappy. If you want to cosplay as something, please at least put efforts to it. Lots of efforts, the results are very beautiful. Remind it yourself before you cosplay.

Lots of interesting, exciting, frustrating or horrific things happened during everybody's growth path. But surely, not everything leaves a deep impression for us. In most cases, cartoon or animation will be deeply remembered. Then, when it comes to classic anime that goes with 80s' grow-up, how many do you still remember now? Below, let's take a look at 10 anime that are considered to be the most classic for 80s.
Top 1: Arale – Relaxing
Arale is another amusing masterpiece from Akira Toriyama, themed on an unbeatable machine baby. Lots of 80s dreamed of having an Arale at that time. The story is exaggerating and funny, winning favor from both boys and girls. It makes us feel relaxed. Villains' ending is often miserable yet also comedic.
Top 2: Flash Kicker – Inspirational
Flash Kicker by Yoichi Takahashi is one of the most popular sports anime in 90s. It does not only arouse a wave in the anime industry, but also makes more Japanese youngsters fall in love with this athletics. Tsubasa Ozora, Taro Misaki and Genzo Wakabayashi represent numerous athletes who are fond of football and run on the football ground. Although plots are so conventional and the capability of Tsubasa Ozora and Japanese team is unlimitedly exaggerated, these flaws didn't cover the shine on the anime at all during that time.
Top 3: Ranma 1/2 – Comedic
This is the most important anime produced by Takahashi Rumiko in the earlier stage. Like Arale, it's relaxing and humorous. But funny style on Ranma affects lots of anime works in the later. Most of 80s are yearning for this anime. Even though Inuyasha draws most attention at present, it still can't surpass the popularity of Ranma, which stole the show at that time.
Top 4: Detective Conan – Unveiling the Truth
It refers to an inferential anime created by Aoyama Gōshō, rather popular. 2,500,000 volumes of offprint are sold on average and it's serialized till now. Comparing with above anime, this one is much younger. But tense plots and appropriate atmosphere make readers immerse in the anime. Although some cases feel too simple or naive while being compared with Kindaichi Hajime, Conan's image charm is far stronger than Kindaichi Hajime's. This anime makes us remember the sentence: there is only one truth.
Top 5: Touch – Sweet yet Bitter
Mitsuru Adachi is an author, who is good at seizing characters' inner world. Touch is also a sports anime. But I prefer to consider it to be an emotion anime. Baseball is just a carrier. With its help, the author writes down love that is most sincere and true. He makes readers personally experience this love. While recalling, you will feel sweet and also a little bitter. Maybe, this is exactly that what Mitsuru Adachi wants to express. Fine description, anime roles' eye contact and words they wish to speak but stop on a second thought all make us feel the emotion that only oozes out from love.
Top 6: Gundam – Epic
What does Gundam stand for? In Japan, it definitely symbolizes a monument or an epic. Actually speaking, I don't like anime themed on outer space. But great influence made by Gundam can't be neglected at all. So far, Gundam series is the most successful anime in inspiring people to produce peripherals. A set of genuine Gundam model is deeply loved by Gundam devotees. For sure, it's sold on a little expensive price. Gains brought by this anime are absolutely incomparable with what other common anime created.
Top 7: Saint Seiya – Childhood
What does Saint Seiya mean? Yes, it stands for childhood – 80s' childhood, who saw Japanese anime when they were children. Those mysterious Greece legends, dazzling stoles and rather beautiful move names do leave such a deep impression on lots of 80s. More than 20 years have gone. Other anime from Masami Kurumada has been forgotten. But Saint Seiya will be forever remembered. Names like Seiya, Hyoga, Shiryu, Shun and Ikki can't be effaced however many years later.
Top 8: Doraemon – Dream
It's known as Amon, Tinker Bell, Machine Cat and uniformly called as Doraemon at last. Protagonist also has lots of names like Nobi, Nobita, etc. Both of these can illustrate how influential Doraemon was at that time. People who watched Doraemon loved to dream and dream to be Doraemon. I also want to have a machine cat or a magical bag. Fujiko F. Fujio leaves us with a dream or a wish. In 80s, Japan was in a phase of economic crisis. Anime industry was also impacted intensely. Fortunately, there was Doraemon, which gave the nation a dream. And it's exactly people who dreamed that became mainstream and backbone of the Japanese society, who helped the economy in Japan rise again.
Top 9: Slam Dunk – Perfect
Roles in Slam Dunk are warm-blooded, funny, fighting and emotional. I really can't come up with another anime that can perfectly fuse all of these elements in that era. Yes, only Slam Dunk did this! It's loved by both boys and girls. In most cases, people will like one manga yet dislike another one. This even makes sense on Saint Seiya, Doraemon and Dragon Ball. But Slam Dunk is an exception, which draws favor from all people. Anybody will fall in love with it once watching. You can't help but feeling fascinated with it, maybe because of Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi Hanamichi, Hisashi Mitsui or Takenori Akagi. Anyway, there must be a role you like. Slam Dunk is a masterpiece from Inoue Takehiko. Probably, you also complain why such a wonderful anime is made to be only 101 episodes. Why does it end so fast? Maybe, it's like Venus. Mutilation is also a kind of beauty, which is definitely Inoue Takehiko's aesthetic viewpoint.
Top 10: Dragon Ball Z – A Monument Work
If you didn't watch Dragon Ball in the early 90s, you may be not an oppidan. But if you didn't hear of Dragon Ball, you should not a terran, XD. Akira Toriyama is worthy of a master. He used several roles from the Chinese classical literature "The Journey To The West" and quickly opened a path on the Japanese anime market. In the early stage of Dragon Ball before the evil of Piccoro appeared, he used a comedic pattern, which was the same with what's used in Arale. Then, when it came to Piccoro, Saiyan and Namekian, Dragon Ball was changed. It became a tremendous work or an insuperable peak. We can't know how many people were watching Dragon Ball at that time. But we can know how many people were not watching Dragon Ball. This is exactly the charm of Dragon Ball. Seven Dragon Balls changed the world and the universe. Are there really Dragon Balls in the world? I have been thinking about this till now.
Then, is there any other anime that leaves a unique or deep impression for you in the childhood? For me, I more like Kindaichi.

Hudson preteen to begin controversial cancer treatment
McKenzie Lowe, 12, of Hudson, suffers from a rare brain tumor. Her family believes ANP, a controversial treatment offered by the Burzynski Clinic in Texas, may be her last hope. Lowe is pictured here with her grandfather, Frank LaFountain. (COURTESY)
When Rochester physician Terry Bennett heard Lowe's story, he knew firsthand what the preteen and her family were going through.
In late March, the Food and Drug Administration granted Lowe a compassion exemption, which will allow her to begin antineoplaston (ANP) treatment, an alternative medicine that controversial Texas doctor Stanislaw Burzynski has been using to treat certain brain tumors for nearly four decades.
Still, he warned that the odds aren't in Lowe's favor. "Don't expect a miracle," Bennett said. "When you discard the chaff, Burzynski only saves about five percent of patients like McKenzie."
"It's looking slightly bigger than it was before," Frenette said. "But she's still feeling pretty good, all the more reason why it's so important for her to begin treatment soon."

OK, life got in the way today and I never found the time for Yoga X. My plan for tomorrow is to do it and Legs and Back. Ugh, I just realized that also includes Ab Ripper X. Sounds like I've got my work cut out for me tomorrow. Can I do it? Hmmmm.... I'm not sure, but I'll give it my best shot. I'm really annoyed that I'm off schedule.
Week 2 - Day 3: Shoulders and Arms AND Ab Ripper X!!!
HUGE improvement over last week! Not only was I able to follow S&A with ARX, I ditched my 5lb weights for 10s and 12s AND did 12 -20 reps on every exercise! Where is this coming from??? I am totally amazed at my rate of improvement. S&A was 100% participation today. ARX was 95% but I�m still subbing crunches for full sit ups. Even with the increase in weights, I still handled the bonus round with ease. Throughout S&A, the only time I stopped before 15 reps was because I�d reached my limit and couldn�t squeeze one more in. If I could pound out a few more after 15, I pushed to my limit or to 20 reps, whichever came first. I think this is my favorite routine. Probably because it�s muscles I use every day and I already have a good amount of strength in them. No weight loss this week but I�m not really surprised since I�m building muscle as I�m losing fat, and there is no doubt I�m doing both! I�m going shopping for a HRM today. Thought I could get by without one but now I�m curious to see my calorie burn, etc. so I�m splurging. I guess I could consider it a prize for not only starting, but sticking with P90X for 10 days so far. I truly don�t see myself wimping out now. I�m half way through my first 3 weeks already and then I have a recovery week to look forward too. I�m also looking forward to checking my measurements at 30 days to see where I stand. As I look at my before pics, I already think I see an improvement. I�m not going to chance it by taking another set for comparison. For now, I�ll just look through my rose colored glasses and enjoy what I see. 30 days will come soon enough.
Week 2 - Day 2: Cardio X
OMG, what a workout!! I really pushed myself to my limits today and did ALL but one set of whacky jacks. I modified the dreya roll. Did everything BUT stand up. Still kept my heart pumping so I figured it was better than skipping it all together. At least I had the energy to attempt my own variation today. Up until now, I�ve kind of ignored poor Dreya due to absolute lack of any more energy. I continue to amaze myself with my progress.
Last night I was still so pumped from my morning workout, I took on 6.5 miles on my bike. I was amazed I was able to do the entire loop in top gear. It usually takes me weeks to work up to that AND I�ve NEVER, EVER gotten my bike out in March before. May, yes, but not March! 46F
I�m also pleased to report that I will now call Cardio X by it�s appropriate name. I no longer consider it Cardio OW! Hmmmm�.do you suppose Yog..ugh will return to being yoga, tomorrow? We shall see.
OOOOO, OOOOOOO, OOOOOO, �.I actually did the push ups (sort of anyway) in the CardioX yoga sequence, �. And I wasn�t ready to strangle Tony when I was done!!! Not sure his neck will be safe after his plank/upward dog/push up/downward dog marathon tomorrow. No promises on that one.
Oooh, gotta share this. Last night DH, 14 yr old and 17 yr old DDs were inspired by me. The had a �let�s compare push ups� contest in the living room. 17 yo DD is AMAZING!! Strength is apparently another thing wasted on youth. She was sweet however. I was gushing over her form and strength and I showed her how much better hers were than mine and she had the sweetness of character to say, �Mom, that�s pretty good!� Remind me to raise her allowance. LOL! Even though I didn�t believe her apparent sincerity, it did make me feel pretty good. Apparently I not so bad that she can�t find something relatively close to passable in my form. I mean if I was floppy like a fish out of water, she�d sound pretty ridiculous telling me I was pretty good. Right? Hmmm, I wonder if she wants something......... car keys comes to mind...
Week Two !!!!! Boy does that feel good to write!! I made it through all 6 workouts and even added extra cardio several days.
Core Synergenics I was pleasantly surprised by how much more I was able to do this week, as compared to last. And Sweat? Hell yeah! Must be I worked out harder this round too. The only moves I'm still struggling with are anything plank or push up oriented although I was able to pump out a few more each set. I still am not getting down very low on my push ups but I'm sure that will come with time. At least I'm doing something that resembles a push up. I still haven't done the Dreya Roll or the bonus round for this one. I never seem to have the energy for the Dreya Roll at the end. I'm going to try it earlier in the workout next time. I may even try it tonight or tomorrow. It looks like fun but I'm ready to quit by the time they get to it. I did attempt it once and couldn't even get off the floor. LOL! Talk about stuck! It was NOT pretty!
I'm hoping to squeeze in 30 minutes of cardio this afternoon or evening. I learned my lesson the hard way. I can not do my P90X routine in the afternoon or evening and expect to sleep at night. I tossed and turned all night, trying to stretch out sore muscles. On top of that, my body temp stayed way too high for sleeping for several hours. Extra cardio doesn't seem to have the same effect. I guess that just proves how much harder I work out with P90X. The funny thing was I wasn't sore this AM. Must have stretched enough during the night. LOL!
Cardio OW tomorrow. Ugh! Oh well. Last week it was easier than Core Syn. Hopefully I'll see an improvement there too.
Kenpo X Way too much on the agenda yesterday to fit in one more thing, so today was my Kenpo day. I got up first thing this morning, ready to attack it, � then my DH came inside raving about what a nice day it was. We don�t get weather like this in NNY, in early March very often, so outside I went. Fast forward, several hours later. 3 year old filly trained for about 30 minutes, 4 others groomed, went to the feed store - a dozen 50 lb feed bags and a half dozen 25 lb bags loaded and unloaded, walk completed, and after all that, came inside and did Kenpo X.
My only complaint is I need more warm up and stretching. Next round, I�ll add my own warm and stretching before I begin the routine. OK, I lied. I have another complaint. I DO NOT like having an audience while I do P90X! Today DH and 2 DDs felt the need to critique my movements and form. I listened for about two minutes and then I told them to jump in or shut up. They shut up. LOL! Chickens!
OK, Kenpo X�the punches and footwork are a little confusing to keep up with but I�m catching on. I LOVE the kicks and blocks.
Week one behind me and I�m anxious to see how much further I get with week two. Oh yeah, remember those muscles that I said weren�t sore any more. I lied again.

Someplace With A Mountain
Directed by Steve Goodall | USA | 2010 | 51min | Subtitled | (Q&A)
Watch Movie Trailer
"If you can watch our islands, send a ship when you see us going under. Otherwise, we may be lost." This message was sent to President Obama by Rapwi, Master Navigator of Puluwat, Micronesia. Descendants of early Polynesian Lapita Navigators, the people of the 7-square-kilometer atoll of Puluwat have lived a life of self-sufficiency. Few outsiders have visited. The nearest large island is Yap, reachable only after days of sailing. By chance in 2004, Californian Steve Goodall arrived at the breathtakingly beautiful atoll. Unaware of global warming, the people described their worries about the rising seas and their fear of saltwater poisoning the taro fields, life-giving palms toppling, and beaches narrowing. The chiefs asked, "Where can we go? We have no mountain!" Goodall recorded their plight on film and sought help and a new home for the people. This revealing documentary puts a human face on climate change and shows how cooperation can help a people in danger as the seas rise. - Betsy Cramer

|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 12:08am
Well ive been TTC since April. In june i had a period start on te 11th. It was a medium flow. Ended around the 17th. Then a few times durig sex i started bleeding some. On june 28th i started bleeding again, it was pretty heavy. On july 11th i went to the ER because of the heavyiness. It didnt stop till the 18th. So from June 28th till July 18th it was constant bleeding. Im not sure whats going on exactly or if I even ovulated. I didn't use any sort of kit to find out. But now its August 7th and still no period, i understand it just ended on July 18th but its all messed up. So im scared to test, because technically im "late", but maybe not. What do you guys think.

Mine are about 4 days but since I started the pill they lasted 8 days n this one has been like 10 or something. So I have been on my period all damn month lol. I got my July 16 n was suppose to get it the 11th n I got this one some time around the 27th I think. I didnt really pay attention cuz I thought it wud only be a day or two.

Motorola, T-Mobile Go Solo With Cliq Phone
SAN FRANCISCO, ( TheStreet) -- It's official: Motorola (MOT) snubbed Verizon (VZ), or vice versa.
Motorola unveiled its long-awaited Google (GOOG) Android-powered smartphone called Cliq during GigaOm's Mobilize conference Thursday. Joining Motorola in the introduction was exclusive partner T-Mobile, the wireless U.S. unit of Deutsche Telekom (DT).
Limiting its initial telco partnership to the No. 4 player in the market, makes Motorola's all-or-nothing bet on the Android phone operating system an even longer shot than some fans would be comfortable with.
The Cliq, which comes with a slide-out Qwerty keypad, a 5-megapixel camera and GPS, is Motorola's first non- Microsoft (MSFT) Windows smartphone and its best hope of competing against Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and Research In Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry.
|Motorola's debut Google Android phone, the Cliq, introduced Sept. 2009.

California Eagle
|Ceased publication
|January 7, 1964
|Los Angeles, California
United States
The California Eagle (1879–1964) was one of the oldest and longest-running African-American newspapers in Los Angeles, California and the West. It started in 1879,[1] founded by John J. Neimore, who had escaped slavery in Missouri. The editor and publisher, he first called it The Owl, then renamed it The Eagle.
After Charlotta Spears succeeded him as owner in 1912, she changed the name to the California Eagle. Later marrying J. B. Bass, who became editor under her, she owned and operated the paper until 1951. In the 1920s, they increased circulation to 60,000. During this period, Charlotta Bass was also active as a civil rights campaigner in Los Angeles, working to end segregation in jobs, housing and transportation.
The newspaper was next owned for more than a decade by Loren Miller, who had been city editor. He also worked as a civil liberties lawyer and was a leader in the community. After he sold the paper in 1964 to accept an appointment as a justice to the State Supreme Court, the publication quickly lost ground and closed that year.[2]
The newspaper served as a source of both information and inspiration for the black community, often ignored or negatively portrayed by the predominant white press. Neimore established a newspaper to help the thousands of newly arrived African Americans adapt to life in Los Angeles, as many came from the Deep South in the Great Migration. The newspaper contained information about housing, jobs and news items relevant to the African-American community. One of the new arrivals was Charlotta Spears, who took a job selling subscriptions to the newspaper in 1910.
By 1912, Neimore was in very poor health. Spears Bass recalled in her biography of him that Neimore called her to his bedside. He made her promise to keep the newspaper alive.[3]
Spears took control of the newspaper upon Neimore's death in 1912. She owned and ran the California Eagle until she retired in 1951. After she married J.B. Bass, he was editor until his death in 1934.[3]
The California Eagle had the following platform:
- hiring of Negroes as a matter of right, rather than as a concession, in those institutions where their patronage creates a demand for labor;
- increased participation of Negroes in municipal, state, and national government;
- the abolition of enforced segregation and all other artificial barriers to the recognition of true merit;
- patronizing of Negroes by Negroes as a matter of principle;
- more rapid development of those communities in which Negroes live, by cooperation between citizens and those who have business investments in such communities; and
- enthusiastic support for a greater degree of service at the hands of all social, civic, charitable, and religious institutions
By 1925, the newspaper had a circulation of 60,000, the largest of any African-American newspaper in California. Its publishers and editors were active in civil rights, beginning with campaigns for equitable hiring, patronage of black businesses, and an end to segregated facilities and housing.
Several newspaper employees went on to become prominent figures in their own right, including T.R.M. Howard. From 1933 to 1935, Howard, then a medical student at Loma Linda University, was the circulation manager. He also wrote a regular column entitled "The Negro in the Light of History" (later changed to "Our Fight"). After medical school Howard returned to Mississippi where he became a doctor. By the 1940s and 1950s, he had become one of the wealthiest and most influential blacks in the state and was a leading civil rights leader. He was later a mentor of Medgar Evers and Fannie Lou Hamer. In addition, he played a key role in finding evidence and witnesses in the Emmett Till murder case.[4]
In 1951 Charlotta Bass sold the California Eagle to Loren Miller, the former city editor.[5] Miller was a Washington University, Kansas law graduate. After he relocated to Los Angeles in 1930, he began writing for the Eagle and eventually became city editor. He earned a reputation in the black community as an articulate and outspoken defender of African Americans.
Miller continued in the tradition of publishing an activist paper. He was a civil liberties lawyer, with a particular interest in discrimination and housing. In 1945, Miller represented Hattie McDaniel and won her case against the "Sugar Hill" restrictive covenant case.[6] His work against restrictive covenants and other racial segregation practices led to his appointment in 1963as Superior Court of California judge by former Governor Edmund "Pat" Brown.[7]
The partial list of the employees and contributors at The California Eagle in 1957 were;
- Francis Philip Waller Jr., advertising & circulation;
- Abie Robinson, city reporting & general news;
- Roy Smith, sports reporting;
- Calme Russ, office management;
- Maggie Hathaway, society reporting & civic/church matters; and
- Anthony Funches, began as a copy boy, also doing cleaning, circulation/distribution.
The offices were located at 4071-4075 South Central Avenue.[8]
In 1963, Miller sold the paper to fourteen local investors in order to accept his appointment as judge. The California Eagle initially increased circulation from 3,000 to 21,000.[9] But, within six months the paper had to close. The paper rapidly deteriorated and on January 7, 1964, the California Eagle ceased publication after 85 years.

10 Do-It-Yourself Skills That Can Save a Bundle
Haircuts: This do-it-yourself task seems easier for men to accept than women, but both sexes can do it. If you don't have confidence in cutting your own hair, the first thing to do is get a easy-to-manage, low-maintenance cut.
With most chain haircut outlets charging $15 or more plus tip and most private salons charging a lot more, it only takes a single cut to pay for a clipper set and scissors. After a few times doing it on your own, you'll wonder why you ever spent as much as you did on your hair.
Cleaning clothes: Taking your weekly work clothes to the dry cleaners can put you back $50 a month even at the cheapest places. Cleaning them yourself needn't take much extra time or effort. Simply put your clothes in the wash and iron while watching television. Add in some basic mending and repair skills for clothes, and you can save a bundle by making them last longer as well.
Pet grooming: Pets can get pretty expensive, especially when you rely on others to do basic grooming like washing, brushing teeth and cutting nails. When you consider a basic shampoo and nail clip will put you back about $25, it doesn't take long for your do-it-yourself grooming skills to pay for themselves. In addition, doing basic grooming on your pets should keep them healthier and give you a better chance of spotting a medical problem early, which could save you a lot in vet bills.

Great Android smartphones for gaming
You may have heard that Android phones are not ideal as gaming platforms compared to iOS devices, but the discussion isn't so black and white. While iPhones are sometimes privy to exclusive releases and early access, Android boasts a growing collection of apps, many of which are free. Not to mention, Android games aficionados can access "homebrew games" that aren't offered through the official store without jailbreaking your phone. Emulators allow videogame enthusiasts to play ported versions of classic titles on their smartphones with ease. Everything from Atari 2600, NES and N64 just to name a few, are feasible gaming options on most Android devices.
Take a look below at a collection of Android phones that are ideal for serious gaming.

I know the galaxy nexus is approaching its second birthday, but its just as good as the S3 for gaming if not better cos of a lack of samsung bloatware slowing everything down. For that matter, any nexus device is awesome for gaming because of a lack of bloatware.

I changed my rom from the stock version to cyanogenmod 10.1 and the stock Android version is no different in terms of responsiveness, I find touch wiz even better than it. For gaming, there is absolutely no difference. But I still like stock, makes you look cool xD
12. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
No difference?
The S3 wins big time.
Larger and better screen, faster processor and a GPU a league ahead of the old SGX in the GNex

2. ankitp (Posts: 30; Member since: 19 Feb 2013)
now added htc one & gs4 in the list

Gaming is just fancy on a phone with no real gaming keys, no matter the raw power. XPERIA play is king in this department.
3. Suraj3337 (Posts: 44; Member since: 20 Apr 2012)
And s4 and htc one will add up in a few days.

What about the Optimus G Pro?
6. nobelset (Posts: 270; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)
Good point! Even phone arena has forgotten about it being in the top android phones this year.

Don't forget play station mobile which is currently exclusive in some Sony and HTC devices

Galaxy Note 2!
14. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Note 2 + gameklip + ps3 controller = unbeatable
25. jellmoo (Posts: 705; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
A nice idea, but the article is about smartphones and not tablets.

what's even better is u can enjoy gaming on the xpera z even in a bathtub withiout the fear of any water damage... lol.. still all 3 are good...
15. _PHug_ (Posts: 397; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)
yeah because guys play games on their smartphones while they take bubble baths everyday.
11. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I'm yet to encounter a game that has issues on my Galaxy S3, and I've played all the heaviest titles.
Yet the Google Play is full of comments about bad game optimization, freezes, lags and stutters from owners of Nexus 7, HTC One x etc.
13. _PHug_ (Posts: 397; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)
Note 2 and soon to be Note 3
17. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 4171; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
3 phones. What a mighty collection that is.
24. Zero0 (Posts: 583; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
As opposed to how many iPhones?
Not to mention that this list leaves out several really strong devices, including the Droid DNA and Nexus 4.
32. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
Right! I don't know why they only put three on the list ether because, there are lost more. Thanks for pointing that out.
18. ryq24 (Posts: 538; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
One more reason to buy Sony xperia z!
19. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5648; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i agree with the Xperia Z, even about it being the first choice but i don't agree with the SIII and the One X. both of their GPU's are inferior to the Adreno 320 used in the Droid DNA, the Optimus G and the Nexus 4.
20. Xtrifer (Posts: 5; Member since: 14 May 2011)
What About Optims G pro, Optimus G and Lg Optimus 4x with Tegra 3, I play hardcore with those
21. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5648; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the Optimus G uses the S4 Pro, not the Tegra III...
35. Xtrifer (Posts: 5; Member since: 14 May 2011)
I meant the 4x bro, i now both G's sport Snapdragon (S4 and 600)
36. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5648; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
you said the Optimus G Pro, Optimus G and Optimus 4X................
22. Zero0 (Posts: 583; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
No Droid DNA? It's pretty powerful and has a screen matching any of the ones already up there.
23. themasos (Posts: 6; Member since: 06 Dec 2012)
The DNA (1080p 5"-Quadcore)is actually better than both the S3 and the One X. I am surprised as well the DNA did not make the list.
28. ojdidit84 (Posts: 418; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
DNA is amazing for gaming. The only thing is that if you want anything from EA, they haven't made their games compatible with HTC's newer devices despite the many people in the review comments asking for EA to support the phones. Other than that, games are awesome on it.
31. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5648; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, it's 1080p display does cause incompatibility with quite a few apps on the Play Store. i guess really the Nexus 4 and the Optimus G would be better than the DNA in regards to playing games.
26. davin8r (Posts: 45; Member since: 28 Apr 2011)
Indeed......the Droid DNA is the gaming top dog of currently available phones. Whoever made the list made a major error in leaving it out.
30. Samsomesh (Posts: 180; Member since: 11 Jun 2012)
Is there any good mid range phone for gaming...
33. TeritorialDemon (Posts: 20; Member since: 20 Oct 2012)
If you want to play games then do it the old fashion way! I can top you all.....READY?
XBOX 360, comfy chair, soda, snack, a good size TV (user preference)
Real gaming!
Learn something new everyday don't you?
34. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5648; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
don't let a hardcore PC gamer hear you say that or a Hunter... xD

Senior Member
At this date, because seriously he used to be a good friend, the best one i had, but recently hes just been a true ass hole to me and my other team member. Even though he helped us get to the elo we are right now, i dont think that he deserves it for the team spirit he has right now. What do you guys think?
After tomorrow he probably will just get me booted out of his friend list.
this is what replacements are for, bench him, and leave him there till he cools off.
But the seasons end tomorrow...
So he helped your team reach whatever elo it is and you're going to kick him? You're a giant dick. Nice way to use someone.
Okay, is he honestly being an *******, or he just stressed because the season ends tomorrow and he's just trying to push you guys?
Is he trying to tell you how to improve and you're just not willing to listen?
Just try to take all that into consideration before you make that decision.
bump plz i really dont know

Kim Kardashian Dressed Like Slave Leia For Kanye
Kim Kardashian wears Princess Leia's bikini in the pilot for Kanye West's sketch comedy puppet show Alligator Boots. It was rejected by Comedy Central.
Kim, your back fat is disgusting.
It's the puppeteer I feel sorry for. Nobody should have to spend a whole working day with their face there.
Hope he filed a grievance.
"Down here, I'm getting a sound like the ocean against my ear."
It's like somebody "Dreamscaped" into my head.
