Sungai Petani
Travel Guide
The tiny town of Sungai Petani stretches along the railway tracks coming up from Butterworth and heading to Thailand. Save one attraction this is a town that features very rarely on a traveller's itinerary.
In the colonial days the town was mainly a centre for rice cultivation and rubber production. Not many buildings remain from those days but on Jalan Bank where the old bank building still stands, you can get a sense of how life might have been back then, when rich plantation owners made their weekly deposits here as street vendors, cobblers and merchants advertised their wares in the streets surrounding the clock tower.
Things to do in Sungai Petani are about as low key as it gets: visit the sleepy and worn railway station and spot the town's clock tower -- a testimony to a time when not everybody had a wrist watch (or mobile phone) -- browse the morning market on Jalan Besar and have a cup of tea in a wild west-looking Chinese area around Jalan Pengalan.
Some travellers do actually come here for a reason -- to make a trip to the fascinating Lembah Bujang Archaeology Museum set on the jungle-clad slopes of Gunung Jerai, where the site of an ancient Hindu civilisation has been unearthed.
The easiest way to get your bearings in Sungai Petani is to look out for the clock tower that stands right in the centre on Jalan Ibrahim, the main road, opposite HSBC Bank.
If you are taking a right from here you'll pass by Jalan Petri a couple of streets down, where the local bus station is, and another 300 metres down the main road will bring you to Centre Point shopping mall. Heading left instead ends out at an intersection next to a Malay shopping complex where there's not much to buy other than food and cheap knick-knacks.
Sungai Petani's train station is right in front of the clock tower, 50 metres in from the main road. Its ticket office is open daily, 11:00-16:00 and 18:00-19:00.
Backing up on Jalan Bank is HSBC Bank, where there's an ATM and the bank is open weekdays, 09:15-16:30. A small clinic and pharmacy is also located down the road along with local shops to snoop around in. If you could call an area here Chinatown, this would be it.
The town's second bus station lies on Jalan Basar, which runs parallel to the railway tracks. A morning wet market operates on this street, hence the name basar, meaning market. A couple of shophouses up from the market is Hotel Seri Malaysia, the only hotel within a kilometre of the town centre.

Bill That Would Make Photographing a Farm a Crime in Florida is Back
After failing to pass a similar bill last session, Norman is back with a bill that would make it illegal to photograph or film a farm without the express written consent of the farm's owner. First amendment be damned.
Norman introduced a similar bill last year that would make it a felony to photograph a farm. That bill was ultimately unsuccessful, so this year's edition, SB1184, would only make it a misdemeanor.
Of course, the bill isn't really aimed at punishing people who just want to take pictures of cute cows, but rather animal rights group looking to gather evidence of animal mistreatment.
"Once again, Senator Norman has sided with the owners of factory farms in Florida to prevent the public from learning how animals are treated inside intensive confinement facilities," said Nick Atwood, campaign coordinator of Animal Rights Foundation of Florida. "The bill also does a disservice to Florida consumers. Recent undercover investigations at farms have led not only to important improvements in the welfare of animals but also in food safety."

Yes, Prime Minister
Much-loved BBC television classic Yes, Prime Minister live on stage in NZ.
Yes, Prime Minister is at Christchurch's Aurora Centre in July 2013.
Written by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay, the creators of the classic BBC comedy that was mandatory viewing for millions worldwide, Yes, Prime Minister was a sell out in London's West End, went on a triumphant tour of the UK, ran for a second London season and then toured to six Australian cities in 2012, selling out in Sydney and Melbourne.
Yes, Prime Minister won the West End Best New Comedy award and producer Andrew Guild says, like the classic television series, "this West End hit is very witty, very fast paced, very clever and very unpredictable".
Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn penned the first episodes of Yes Minister for the BBC in 1982. It was an instant hit - their characters and situations revealing the deliciously awkward marriage between civil servants and politicians. More than 25 years later, the same brilliant wordsmiths have done it again and created the hit play Yes, Prime Minister.
It's 2012 and much has happened since the Rt. Hon. Jim Hacker last walked the corridors of Whitehall. There's the Global Financial Crisis, rising oil prices, minority governments, illegal immigrant, asylum seekers and climate change. Plus the 24 hour news cycle, constant bleating of mobile phones, endless emails and a new generation of spin doctors.
Ably assisted by Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby and Principal Private Secretary Bernard Woolley, these three most loved characters from the hit BBC series gather once more to sort out another very thorny problem.
Set in the present day, in the oak-panelled drawing room at Chequers, the British Prime Minister's official country residence, the embattled PM, Sir Humphrey and Bernard face their greatest challenge yet. With help and hindrance from inquisitive journalists, a new generation of special advisers, the Director General of the BBC and an oil rich Ambassador with a most disturbing interest in foreign affairs, the play engages audiences with the best of comedy and the worst of politics.
"Yes Prime Minister is an absorbing, very contemporary comedy that forces us at the same time to confront real moral issues, but never preaches," Mr Guild says. "We leave laughing - and we've got enough material for water cooler conversations to last for weeks."
Yes Prime Minister is at the Aurora Centre in Christchurch from 16-20 July. Tickets are available through Ticketek 0800 TICKETEK (842 538) www.ticketek.co.nz. For more information, visit the website www.yesprimeminister.co.nz

Stop malware autorun.ini files with Autorun Eater
Monitor, block, and remove autorun infections with this unique security freeware.
Old McDonald's Farm is a software designers' collective, not a noisy musical farm. And on this farm they have some freeware, such as Autorun Eater, which scans your drives for suspicious autorun.ini files and removes those you want removed. Autorun.ini files issue basic instructions for starting all kinds of programs, but malware can infect computers with them, sometimes from external drives. Autorun Eater monitors your system for suspicious autorun.ini files in the root directories of drives C through Z as well as removable drives. It also fixes three common registry errors caused by autorun.ini files and prevents the accidental execution of such files, as well as removing leftover files that can prevent removable drives from opening. It poses no known conflicts to antivirus tools and actually includes an optional anti-malware utility, Microsoft Security Essentials.
Autorun Eater's installer offers various options, but the one we recommend is the one the installer recommends, reading Autorun Eater's Farm Manual, the whimsical name for the program's searchable Explorer-style Help file (complete with a mascot photo of Billy the goat). (Billy's name turns up here and there in Autorun Eater, such as the start menu options). The program's System Tray menu is quite complete, including a Registry Fix submenu, manual controls for scanning Drive A and Drive B, MSE settings, and basic options like alert sounds. Autorun Eater works automatically and continuously in the background, and it uses very few resources. After the first scan, it's easy to forget the program is running, though hovering the cursor over the program's tray icon displays its status and basic settings. Pausing the program's background monitoring produces a prominent reminder in the notification area.
Autorun Eater scanned our C, D, and E drives as well as external drives, though we're happy to say it didn't find any serious threats. Its pop-up alerts contain a lot of information, such as whether the associated executable is present or has been deleted, and the text string. We could ignore or remove the file as needed. If you regularly bring work home or use portable drives, we highly recommend Autorun Eater for your PC security setup.

Some literature is Mormon to the bones. This includes — maybe is identical to — literature that is to some important extent about the experience of being Mormon. The story turns out the way it does partly because the main character is Mormon; being Mormon influences his/her key choices. The work may take a variety of stances toward being Mormon, from home literature (old or new) to lost generation, faithful realism, or ex-Mormon satire, but when you read the book there's no question that if you threw out the Mormon element, the story would change in some noticeable way. This is what people are advocating when they say that if you make a character Mormon, it should make a difference.
And then there are those stories that are only incidentally Mormon. I'm thinking, for example, of Steve Peck's A Short Stay in Hell, in which the main character's Mormonness is played up for laughs a few times, but could be from basically any background. It's possible, of course — likely, even — that at some deep level Peck's construction of his main character includes his Mormon background as an important element, but if so, it's not something we as readers are aware of.
So is the mention of Mormonism a weakness in Steve Peck's story? A distraction to the reader? I don't think so. Indeed, while books about Mormonness may be centrally important for the development of Mormon literature, books with characters or settings that are only incidentally Mormon probably provide a clearer index to penetration of Mormonism as part of American literature.
There's a philosophy that everything you put into a story should serve to advance the plot. A lot of people expand this to include "and develop the character."
This is one of those statements which, in my view, either doesn't mean as much as it sounds like, or simply isn't true — at least for longer genres such as the novel. Maybe it's a reasonable standard for a short story. But the appeal of novels, in my observation, lies to a large extent in the world they create for us to enter. They present a slice of life. And life includes a lot of things that don't play neatly into plot-patterns.
(One theorist whose views of the novel I find particularly thought-provoking is Bakhtin, whose term heteroglossia has to do with how the language of the novel warps around individual characters in ways that reflect their own language. At least, that's my 10-second summary. I'm not entirely sure I believe everything Bakhtin says about the novel, but it's fascinating stuff. And much easier to follow than French theorists, not that that's saying much…)
There must, of course, be some coherence. The work of art isn't a part of life; it's a work of art, an artifact of human craft. But still, the appeal of this particular literary form, in my view, lies in part in its invitation to explore a world of the imagination. Some peripheral elements are okay, if they add to the concreteness of the experience.
Which is where incidental Mormonism comes in. There are, it should be easy to agree, no generic individuals. Every person is particular and specific. Literary characters should be the same way. A character without individual details isn't really a character at all, anymore than a face with all of its features obscured is a face. (Speaking of Edward Gorey's prune people.)
So why not have a character that is incidentally Mormon, just as he/she may be incidentally brown-haired, married, living in house in a South Dakota suburb with a dog named Ecclesiastes? Part of the attraction of reading (and writing) stories, for me at least, lies in getting to know individual quirky people. Why can't those people be Mormons?
Reading some of the Whitney finalists from the last several years has been quite disappointing in this respect. Some of these stories, as I recall, were clearly based on the author's conception of a Mormon character, from a Mormon family. But the details were all obscured — like the wisps painted post facto over the naughty bits in Michelangelo.
Which makes me wonder: what are the reasons for this reticence? Artistic choice? Maybe — except, as I say, that in general, a better fleshed-out character is superior to a drab abstract one. Desire to appeal to non-Mormons? But I like reading about Jews, Catholics, Baptists. Why wouldn't non-Mormons want to read about characters who happen to be Mormon? Either it's not true, in which case it's an instance of unnecessary self-censorship by authors (or their publishers) — or it is true, in which case I have to ask, in a more serious way: what is it about Mormons and our American culture that makes it unacceptable to read a story about a Mormon, unless it's a story about a Mormon? If that makes sense.
Some may argue that even if making your characters Mormon turns off only a few people, why run that risk? To which I would say: every word other than a, an, and the is likely to have negative connotations for some readers. But we wouldn't have anything to attract readers, either, if we left out all the words. To turn on some readers is to turn off others.
And yeah, there are times when it simply works better to have a non-Mormon character. Scott Card, when he wanted to write about a human colony with a strong religious life, wrote about Catholics. But there were reasons for that which went along nicely with other particulars of the story he was telling. Besides which, Card has done plenty of writing featuring Mormons in various roles, including cases where the Mormonism was incidental. (Can anyone say Ender's Game?) He's definitely earned a pass on this one.
There's a way in which I agree with the notion that a character's Mormonness should mean something. That is to say, I think any character should be well-conceived. If you have created a character who is Mormon — or Muslim, or autistic, or a die-hard soccer fan — you should think about how that dimension fits with the other elements of that character's personality to make a coherent whole. You should know what Mormonism means to that person, even if it's not an important part of the story.
And you should get it right. Allen Drury gets points for making Brigham Anderson's internal conflict over his homosexual impulses (influenced by his Mormonism) part of the central drama of Advise and Consent. But he quickly loses many of those points by his ignorance of the fact that for Mormons, a mission is only temporary. Likewise Tony Kushner in Angels in America, as I've argued elsewhere.
I also suspect that part of the reticence of Mormon authors in including Mormon characters has to do with a developing sense that it's not exactly polite to talk too much about religion in public. I think, though, that a lot of this isn't so much people being turned off by religion, as a kind of self-perpetuating habit in recent years of simply not including much about religion in a lot of our stories, even when they would be a part of our character's lives. And sometimes religion may be a distraction. For some kinds of books, it could be an enormous distraction. (Can you imagine the main character in Diary of a Wimpy Kid telling us about his prayers at night? On the other hand, that could be really hilarious…)
In short: stories about what it means to be Mormon, yeah, great. I mean, heck, I wrote one. But let's not look down on or ignore stories where the characters are Mormon in the same way they eat peanut butter and potato chip sandwiches and practice the piano after school (under protest, with nagging by Mom). Let Mormonism be an accent sometimes, not the dominant flavor.

The Louisiana State University AgCenter (LSUAC) in partnership with the Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center (SUAREC), is working together to implement programs that enhance the capabilities of Louisiana's agriculture professionals in the area of sustainable agriculture.
Educational initiatives include workshops and long-distance education training sessions, field trips, resource manuals and informational bulletins. For more information, see Events.
What Is Sustainable Agriculture? Sustainable Agriculture is an integrated system of plant and animal production practices that: satisfies human food and fiber needs, enhances environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which agriculture depends, makes the most efficient use of nonrenewable resources and on-farm resources, integrates natural biological cycles and controls, maintains the economic viability of farm operations, enhances the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole. (from the 1990 Farm Bill, The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade (FACT) Act of 1990)
More About SARE
Since 1988, the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program has helped advance farming systems that are profitable, environmentally sound and good for communities through a nationwide research and education grants program. The program is part of USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Serivice (CSREES) is managed in partnership with regional land grant hosts, and funds projects and conducts outreach designed to improve agricultural systems. To advance such knowledge nationwide, SARE administers a competitive grants program first funded by Congress in 1988. Grants are offered through four regions -- North Central, Northeast, South and West -- under the direction of councils that include farmers and ranchers along with representatives from universities, government, agribusiness and nonprofit organizations.
The Southern Region includes: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
The objective of the SARE program is to enable the full spectrum of farmers and ranchers to move profitably toward production systems compatible with the concept of sustainable agriculture. Specific objectives include:

The typical associate partner in consulting services has a bachelor's degree or higher and work experience that includes, but is not limited to: developing relationships with executives; communicating with clients; presenting information; and consulting in an industry such as investment banking, or for a consulting or equity firm. It is worth noting that the specific industry of the company that the employee works for heavily determines the type of work experience required to hold that position. Most consulting services consulting partners assume responsibilities such as helping the management team with data collection, analyzing the data for efficiency, giving input regarding how to run the company more smoothly, as well as general business development towards growth or expansion. The overall goal of the associate partner is to improve how a company runs, making it more efficient and effective at allocating resources. To do this, associate partners often make important decisions in implementing new procedures or protocol. The associate partner can work with senior management, other partners or with different groups of employees such as those in sales, marketing, operations and more depending on the needs of the company. Associate partners generally work mostly indoors. Companies that employ associate partners for consulting services range from computer companies to holding groups. Associate partners may also work for companies that require services in worker efficiency or that are looking to improve output and productivity. There can be some travel involved, depending on the company. The consulting services associate partner position is sometimes seen as the next step up from a manager position in business management.

Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and Michael Shea, Acting Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) Miami Field Office, announce the indictment of Rolin Pierre, 50, of Fort Lauderdale, Mariline Myriam Ade, 42, of Miramar, Alysia Jackson, 44, of Sunrise, and Tempest Shanesha Wright, 30, of Fort Lauderdale. As well, fourteen persons were charged with related offenses.
In summary, three indictments charge that defendant Pierre conspired with each of Ade, Jackson, and Wright, who were examiners at three different Broward County offices of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, to produce and transfer valid Florida driver's licenses without lawful authority, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028(f). The indictments also charge each of these defendants with having produced Florida driver's licenses without lawful authority, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028(a)(1).
In addition, fourteen separate indictments charge fourteen individuals who obtained Florida driver's licenses from Pierre and his co-conspirators, using fraudulent immigration documents to support their license applications. These other defendants include Alexander Alvarez Lopez, 32, of Bradenton, Davon A. Barrett, 39, of Plantation, Michael Hugh Wayne Berry, 44, of Miami Gardens, Stephanie Blake, 41, of Lauderhill, Luis Carachure, 25, of Pompano Beach, Jose Valente Facio Alvarez, 31, of Lehigh Acres, Bernard Geffrard, 38, of Bradenton, Cristian Ionita, 33, of North Las Vegas, Nevada, Wedson Julmiste, 35, of Fort Lauderdale, Julie Michel, 30, of Lauderdale Lakes, Nixon Nicholas, 47, of Fort Lauderdale, Leonce Obei, 42, of Sunrise, Georgina Abigail Rock, 34, of Miramar, and Jacqueline Thomas, 39, of Sunrise.
Pierre and his co-conspirators will make their initial appearances on the charges against them at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, May 2, 2011, at the U.S. Federal Building and Courthouse at 299 E. Broward Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
If convicted of the charges in the indictment, Pierre and his co-defendants each face a possible term of imprisonment of up to fifteen years, plus a possible fine and a term of supervised release of up to three years.
U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer stated, "Fraud in the production and transfer of valid identification documents is a threat to our homeland security. We are pleased to have put these defendants out of business."
"Targeting document fraud schemes is a top enforcement priority for ICE," said Michael Shea, Acting Special Agent in Charge of ICE HSI in Miami. "Document fraud puts the security of our communities and even our country at risk by creating vulnerabilities that could be exploited. This is another example of the outstanding working partnership we have with the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Florida Highway Patrol."
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of ICE-HSI, the City of Lauderhill Police Department, the Broward Sheriff's Office, and the Florida Highway Patrol, which provided key assistance to ICE-HSI. The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys John D. Couriel, Michael N. Berger, Olivia S. Choe, Michael J. Garofola, Kurt K. Lunkenheimer, Amanda Perwin, Seth M. Schlessinger, Karen O. Stewart, and Michael E. Thakur.
An indictment is only an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The first Ellis to mack his home in Sevier County was Christopher Columbus Ellis. He did so by purchasing a one hundred acre land grant in Green County, North Carolina (soon to become Sevier County, Tennessee.) in 1791. The land bordered the French Broad River and is presently split down the middle by Hwy.66. The present Smoky Mountin Knife Works sits approximatly in the middleof the land grant.(a copy of the land grant exist today). The property includied the landing on the river presently known as Kyker's Ferry, but was originally established and operated by Christopher's family and known as" The Ellis Ferry". Going toward the I40 from Sevierville, just before crossing the river on the right of Hwy.66 the Ellis Cemetery remains today on top of a small hill overlooking the intersection of Pigeon and French Broad River. The Cemetery was first used in the late 1790's and as late as the 1930's. The Will of William Ellis, second son of Christopher probated on Dec. 2, 1878.which sets aside" one acre of ground" for the Ellis Cemetery. Christopher was born in 1760 and came to this country as a young British soldier and joined the Revolutionary War, and was with Cornwalis when he surrendered at Yorktown Christopher married Nancy Elizabeth Callahan in Cumberland, Maryland in 1786. They had ten children, but records could only substantiate five. it is believed that several of the children died at birth or in early infancy as did many children of that time. This would also account for some of the small burial plots with mere rocks as markers in our family cemetery. All of Christopher's children were raised just west of the present day Douglas Dam and south of the French Broad River on the Ellis estate, appropriatly called "River Fork". William Ellis was the second son of Christopher and one of very few slave owners in Sevier County, at one time having as many as 27. The foundations of four of the slave quaters are still discernible today around the perimeter of the rubble of the estate dwelling. William, naturally a confederate sympathizer, had two sons and one grand-son who fought on the side of the Confederacy, yet like so many families of East Tennessee, he also had three grand-son's who remained loyal to the north, one of which died in battle wearing blue somewhere near Nashville in 1863. |

The high burden of cervical cancer in the Americas represents a major public health problem that needs to be addressed using a comprehensive approach (adolescent health, sexual and reproductive health, immunization and cervical cancer control). The long natural history of the disease yields many opportunities for intervention throughout the lifecycle of women by effective primary and secondary prevention strategies in conjunction with appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic case management including access to palliative care.
Comprehensive approach to cervical cancer prevention and control
Cervical cytology (the Pap test) has been used to screen women for early signs of cervical cancer and has led to a reduction in cervical cancer deaths. In many developing countries, and in many Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries, the use of the Pap test as a screening method has not led to reductions in cervical cancer as compared to developed countries. The failure of the screening programs in LAC is due not only to the limitations of cytology as a screening technique but also to the organization of the health system, as well as cultural and community factors. There are now new tools available, including new screening technologies and HPV vaccines, which offer unprecedented new opportunities to prevent and control cervical cancer.
- Safe and efficacious prophylactic HPV vaccines against oncogenic types 16 and 18 are available, allowing primary prevention of about 70% of cervical cancer cases caused by these HPV types.
- New approaches to screen for cervical cancer include visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA test) and HPV DNA testing.
- Screening with the VIA test is effective and feasible in low-resource settings, especially when paired with cryotherapy for treatment of pre-cancerous cervical lesions ("screen and treat" approach).
- A comprehensive public health strategy is needed for cervical cancer prevention, which includes vaccination of adolescents (when affordable and sustainable); screening women in the age group at risk for developing cervical cancer (women aged 35 years and older); and treatment of all women with pre-cancerous cervical lesions and invasive cervical cancer.
There is clear and well-established scientific evidence and enough quality research in LAC countries to support the introduction of these new technologies for preventing cervical cancer that will have a positive impact on the burden of disease.
The Regional Strategy and Plan of Action for Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control was developed by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in 2008 in response to the high burden of disease and the limited impact of current screening programs in LAC. The Strategy was endorsed by the PAHO Directing Council, composed of the Ministers of Health of the Americas, and a resolution was passed to urge Member States to strengthen their cervical cancer programs. The aim is to improve the capacity of countries to implement sustainable and effective programs for the prevention of cervical cancer and generate an integrated approach across existing programs on adolescent health, sexual and reproductive health, immunization and cervical cancer control. A plan of action was proposed for the Regional Strategy consisting of the following seven points:
- Conduct a situation analysis
- Intensify information, education and counseling
- Fortify screening and pre-cancer treatment programs
- Establish or strengthen information systems and cancer registries
- Improve access and quality of cancer treatment and of palliative care
- Generate evidence to facilitate decision making regarding HPV vaccine introduction
- Advocate for equitable access and affordable comprehensive cervical cancer prevention
PAHO´s partnerships and projects in Cervical Cancer
PAHO has been working in partnership with the Alliance for Cervical cancer Prevention (ACCP) since 1999 and with the global coalition Cervical Cancer Action since 2007 to advocate for and strengthen cervical cancer prevention and control in low resource settings. Demonstration projects have been established using alternative screening approaches in several countries in LAC. Technical assistance is also provided to countries in the Region to strengthen their cervical cancer programs. HPV vaccines are included in PAHO´s Revolving Fund, enabling bulk purchase at one unique price for all countries in the Americas who have introduced the HPV vaccine into their national public health programs. With respect to treatment, PAHO has a longstanding history of working with Ministries of Health in the Americas to improve quality and access to radiotherapy services and strengthen capacity for cancer treatment, working together with the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month
Pros:1) all dials work great;
2) it's really HUGE;
3) looks more expensive than it is;
4) works well and looks cool;
5) build quality is ok;
6) easy to adjust bracelet, just pull out 4 pins to remove 2 parts of the bracelet to make it fit well on my wrist (yes, bracelet is really long)
No cons, but i have to give "only" 4 stars to the usefulness rating because it's so easy to push buttons accidentally and modify the dials settings.
Is a nice watch, works well and looks very nice and expensive, at the moment i don't know if it keep time correctly (just 3 days wearing it..) but it seems that the +/- time is ok, no time adjustements needed at all.
Great buy!

During a recent SMS chat (i.e. cell phone IM) session with a penpal of mine, he said something that reminded me of an (social, non-sexual) encounter I had with a Canadian gay guy at a party in the gay bar in Guilin about a year ago.
This guy was telling me about how he had come to China not for tourism, not for work, not for a cultural experience, but to find an Asian boyfriend. I thought that was, for lack of a better possible description, weirder than shit. It would appear that this man had what I like to call an "ethnic fetish."
I'm not talking about fetishes in the Freudian sense. Rather, I like to refer to fetishes such as what a friend of mine once called "Yellow Fever" as quasi-racist phenomena stemming from years of otherization of other peoples and, to a lesser extent, culture shock.
Almost all of the guys I've dated have been Han Chinese, the exceptions being one guy who was a quarter Zhuang and another guy who was Nepalese. This is because I didn't date while I was in the US, and, of course, Han people comprise the vast majority of China's population. However, when things start to enter the realm of guys who have a "preference" for whites, Asians, blacks, or anyone else, or a lack of interest in members of a given ethnic group, I start to feel a little, to reiterate, weird.
Usually, when I hear about reasons for these kinds of preferences, they're because of either lending creedence to ethnic stereotypes (e.g. that Asian guys all have small dicks, or that black and white guys all have big dicks) or the idea that certain complexions are more or less attractive than others.
What are your thoughts on this?
Everybody has their own preferances, but what I consider him going that of a long distant to find a boyfriend is kinda stupid. I mean, Long distant relationship never works. I think its worthless. He could find any Asian guys in America.
Its okay to have your own preferances in race, just as long its not a big of a bias thing. Im white, and I had a black exboyfriend in New York, and he was wonderful, still is today. I never considered his skin to be any different, his culture was intrique and interesting but we both liked each other for eachother thats all it ever matters. Hes a great guy. :) Also, I dont care if anybody skin is different, I;ll date them to my area of interest. I look for personality, smart, understanding, loveable and always honest. Thats all we should rely on. If you guys stick to one race becuase of your belive its your loss.
I've always had a thing for Russian guys. I suppose my "reasons" are because they tend to have more of the (superficial) features that I like in my men: nice square jaws, chisled facial features, etc. So I suppose if we were asking about ethnic fetishes, yeah, Russians are it for me.
But then again, I like boys, period. :-D They're all just so fabulously wonderful! My rule about boys is similar to my rule about music: if I like it (or him), I like it (or him). I don't care what kind it (or he) is. :) If it (or he) does it for me, then yay for me! *lol*
Gotta love the boys,
Some people's kids...I tell ya!
I have a huge thing for Russians! Most of it stems from a) their gymnastics team and b) their absolute brilliance, and ability to create some of the most moving, intensely personal literature the world has seen. No worries:)
The Head of Security for the Movement to Free Oompa Loompa Land from the Tyrannical Capitalistic Despot Willy Wonka
While attraction is really case specific, I would say that I do have a thing for white guys. The fact that I was adopted into a white family and go to school at a predominantly white university (arn't they all?) may have something to do with this.
You guys are probably right - I can't apply that opinion to every case. Cultural upbringing can have a lot to do with it.
On the other hand, there are times when bias does play some part; I once read a column in the Seattle Weekly written by a Korean-American guy who said he often gets rejected in Internet chat rooms by guys who haven't even seen him because, as one person put it, "Sorry, I don't do Asians." Keep in mind that this is in the same country where some people are blaming SARS on Asians, racializing it and thinking that it's an "Asian plague," much like AIDS was treated as a "gay plague" back in the 80s.
This sort of thing happens here, too. I've met some guys who seem to have a more-than-superficial interest in Western men, which could perhaps relate to the fact that there are so many advertisements and so forth that feature white people, which seems to create this idea that white = affluent and developed. There was this really nasty incident back in 1988 in which college students in Nanjing actually took to the streets in protest of black foreign students dating Chinese women, and I've heard some people say they think blacks are "ugly," apparently on account of their being dark-complected (fair skin is considered to be more attractive in Chinese culture than dark skin).
I guess I've always had this thing for white guys with blue eyes and short, curly locks of black or brown hair. I like all races and ethnicities, but these seem to stick out the most. This could be due to the environment I grew up in or it could be due to mass media influence on my perceptions of beauty. Eitherway, they're still cute.
I can see what you mean though. There are these guys in my campus' gay and lesbian club who look at me like I'm a walking dick, simply because of the positive stereotype that "black men are big". I mean, I'm more than a penis and a set of testicles. I'm a person, goddammit, and I refuse to be treated any less.
Well, I've got tastes for little superficial things like that as well. For example, a lot of Asian guys are really slender and smooth, which I like. Also, a lot of guys are handsome without being chiseled, which I also find attractive.
What bothers me, however, is when you have guys like that Canadian man I mentioned, who are seeking to enter a serious long-term relationship with someone solely on the basis of their race (this guy came all the way over here to find a life partner), or when you have someone who would refuse to date a person simply because of his or her ethnicity, either due to actual race-hate or belief in negative stereotypes.
Yeah, we don't like people like that--they're not cool. There's a difference between liking certain ethnicities because of whatever characteristics they may generally have and outright *disliking* others because of their race/ethnicity.
Some people's kids...I tell ya!
Right, but I think that liking a certain individual because you like him/her to begin with and because he/she has qualities common to his or her ethnic group that you find attractive versus extending your attraction to all members of a given ethnic group are different as well.
The Canadian guy seemed to have pretty indiscriminate tastes as far as Asian guys were concerned, apparently getting involved with the rather unclean guys who hang out around Guilin's downtown square after 11:00 PM and have group masturbation sessions in the public restroom nearby... When he talked about coming all the way to China in search of an "Asian boyfriend," he kind of reminded me of the character of Sophia in Malcolm X (you know, "Am I the first white woman you've been with ... that wasn't a whore?" - creepy).

Jenn Gambatese joins Lyric Opera's Carousel cast
Jenn Gambatese is the latest addition to the Lyric Opera's spring staging of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel. The Broadway vet, who played Maria in Lyric's The Sound of Music last spring, will fill the role of Carrie Pipperidge—one she's previously sung at Connecticut's Goodspeed Opera House. Gambatese joins the previously announced New York theater regulars Steven Pasquale and Laura Osnes, who will play Billy Bigelow and Julie Jordan, and opera star Denyce Graves, who's set to sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" as Nettie Fowler. The production, to be staged and choreographed by Rob Ashford, will run April 10–May 3. Carousel is the third in Lyric's series of five Rodgers and Hammerstein stagings, following The Sound of Music and 2013's Oklahoma! They'll be followed by The King and I next year and South Pacific in 2017. Tickets for Carousel are on sale now.
Tony winner A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder will launch tour in Chicago
A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, the underdoggish winner of the 2014 Tony Award for best musical, will launch a national tour in Chicago this fall, representatives for Broadway in Chicago said this morning. The comic operetta, written by Broadway first-timers Robert L. Freedman and Steven Lutvak, will play the Bank of America Theatre for a relatively brief two-week run, September 29–October 11. (By contrast, the touring launch of Motown the Musical stayed 12 weeks in Chicago last summer, though the Gentleman's Guide producers have said the show's tour will be limited overall to 44 weeks.) The show, in which a scoundrel attempts to speed up a family inheritance by offing the relatives who stand in his way, offers a particularly juicy quick-change role for the actor who plays eight of the targeted relatives; Jefferson Mays scored a Tony nomination for best actor as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for the Broadway production. Casting for the touring production remains to be announced.
