The Bachelor
Who Is Amanda Meyer? Bachelor 2013 Contestant Bio
Age: 26
Hometown: Newport Beach, CA
Occupation: Fit Model
We're practically breathless from the waves of awesome ladies we're seeing (virtually) line up to make themselves Mrs. Sean Lowe on The Bachelor Season 17 — we can't even imagine what it was like for Sean at the first rose ceremony! Allow us to introduce you to yet another potential bride-to-be — meet Amanda Meyer.
Amanda (the brunette on the right) is an Orange County native who appears to enjoy the fun things in life. Margaritas? Flowers? Tropical locations? Consider Amanda there. She attended Long Beach State University for a short while, but left before finishing her degree to follow modelling dreams. We think her adventurous spirit and infectious smile are sure to make Sean take notice.
If all that doesn't work, there's always her model figure. Amanda works as a fit model for 7 for All Mankind — which means she looks damn good in a pair of jeans. And it also mean we probably need to get to the gym.
Best of luck, Amanda!

Along with helping to showcase some of the city's most exciting new companies and digital projects every month, Lawrence is also helping to change the culture of the scene she is part of. Tech may not exactly be a boys club, but it does suffer from lopsided numbers when it comes to participation of the sexes. With women-only demo showcases, and a willingness to speak out against sexist remarks, Lawrence's daily work is helping to make New York's tech scene more diverse.

When Google announced plans for its own operating system, Chrome OS, in July 2009, many observers thought the company had gone a little Microsoft-crazy. Not so, in my opinion. But for whatever reason, the Web-based operating system–described by Google as essentially the Chrome Web browser with a bunch of software drivers needed to run many kinds of hardware–has been late in arriving. This morning in San Francisco, the search giant is expected to announce more details of the highly anticipated software–in particular, the launch of Chrome OS and the opening of a Web app store, plus perhaps the introduction of a Netbook with the OS on it. I'll be liveblogging the highlights. There's a bunch of videos queued up on Google's YouTube channel that I assume will be viewable once the event begins at 10:30 a.m. Pacific. You can view the livestream of the event there too, and Google's blog post on the event is now up.
And we're underway, first with Sundar Pichai, Google's vice president of product management. What's coming: an update on Chrome (the browser), Chrome Web store, and of course Chrome OS. We've been working to make a lot of progress with the open source community.
When we launched Chrome, we recognized that the Web had shifted from documents to services. We thought of Chrome almost as an operating system for Web applications.
Six months ago, Chrome had 70 million users, who use it on a daily basis. Today, we're at 120 million users. What's driving the growth? Speed.
Brian Rakowski, a director of product management (and the guy responsible for the famous Chrome comic book), comes on to provide details of how Google has been focusing on speed. Google Instant is one–he types "e" into the address box and ESPN, which he visits often, comes up instantly. He also shows a very fast PDF viewer–the 1990-page health care bill comes up instantly, somehow. And he shows how Web GL helps speed graphics performance.
Simplicity is another key to speed. Originally the browser images took a third of the screen–now it's down to seven click targets. Also, updates are automatic–30 major ones in the two years since it was launched. Today, a new feature: Chrome Sync. You can choose which data you want to sync across computers–bookmarks, etc.
Security is another focus here. Three main things Google does in Chrome to ensure security: automatic updates, sandboxing (executable files are walled off from the rest of the computer), and plug-in sandboxing, which Pichai says is the next step. Plug-in programs are already sandboxed, but in particular Google is working on fully sandboxing Flash, which has been implicated recently in security exploits.
Now, it's on to the Chrome Web Store, with a demo. Google is trying to help connect developers with users better, since it's hard for developers to get attention. He shows the NPR Web app; today it looks a lot like the organization's Web page, but with some slick touches like the ability to run podcasts in the background. Then there's games, which Google has been working hard on. Dreams 2, a $1.99 game for kids, looks easy to buy via Google Checkout and install right away. CloudCanvas, for $4.99 a month, can be tried for free. So developers have more options on how to expose and sell apps.
Marc Frons, CTO of digital operations at the New York Times (and a long-ago colleague of mine at BusinessWeek), comes on to demonstrate the Times' Chrome app: 10 customized skins that let you choose to browse headlines very fast or check out a photo gallery by default.
EA Chief Operating Officer John Schappert comes onstage to demo what the gaming giant is doing in the Chrome Web Store. One example: Pogo.com, one of its properties, has a game called Poppit!, where you pop balloons–kind of a Tetris-type game. Anyway, EA converted Poppit into a newfangled HTML5 app in just 48 hours; it's seemingly as fast as the original app, with slick graphics. Poppit will be embedded in the Chrome 9 release.
Amazon's announcing two new apps for the Web store as well. Eva Manolis and David Limp do the demo. One is Amazon Window Shop, which lets you browse Amazon products in a new way–through icons in various product categories. Frankly, I'm not sure what advantage this brings Amazon shoppers, though. Bigger deal is Kindle for the Web, an HTML5 app to get access to any e-book you've acquired through the browser. (Question to look into later: If you're developing in HTML5, why do you need an app vs. just doing this on the Web?)
Pichai says the Chrome Web Store will be prominently shown on the Chrome browser home page, rolling out more widely in the first quarter.
OK, now on to Chrome OS: We started working on it in earnest about a year ago. Why Chrome OS? People live within the browser. But if you look at how most PCs work today, most of the code and the complexity has nothing to do with the browser or the Web. So we wanted to rethink the personal computer experience for the modern Web. In fact, Chrome OS is nothing but the Web.
Full demo from a reference-hardware Chrome notebook: There's a gallery of app icons, such as Gmail, Google Maps, NPR for Chrome, etc. There's a short setup where you sign into your Google account, though that's not required. You can also take a photo of yourself if you want. Zero to done in less than 60 seconds on a brand-new machine. In other words, way less than with a Windows PC. Instant-boot, instant-setup.
Instant-resume feature, where you can go from standby mode on the laptop to ready in less than one second (milliseconds, Pichai claims). Lots of cheers in the crowd, which of course includes a lot of Googlers.
Pichai now demonstrates how Chrome OS allows people to share PCs much more easily–all you do is sign out and another person signs in, to get their own Web services. Friends can use a guest mode that lets them sign in privately (you can't see their browser history and they can't see yours).
One upcoming feature will be offlline Google Docs, which will be long overdue, to my mind. He shows how even HMTL5 games can be cached offline so you can continue to play them. The New York Times app can be used offline as well.
But in today's world, you really need to be connected. Given this is a cloud computing device, we want to make sure users always have the option to get connected whenever possible. Every Chrome notebook will be able to switch seamlessly between WiFi and cellular connections–Chrome OS notebooks will have a cellular modem from Qualcomm built it. He also demos CloudPrint (in beta now), which lets you print to any chosen printer from the cloud.
So how did we do this? Google's working with Verizon to offer data plans from $9.99 a month, with 100 MB free data a month for two years. (Would like to hear more details on this, but 100 MB sure isn't much these days–what do you expect for free?)
Security: On today's PCs, it's a bit of an afterthought. Chrome OS will do updates automatically in the background, use sandboxing, encrypt data by default, and will have "verified boot," which means every time you boot the OS, the system checks if any key parts of the OS have been changed, warning you if so. He claims Chrome OS will be the most secure PC OS ever. Gordon Payne, SVP at Citrix Systems, talk up the business importance of security. I'll spare you the details, but suffice to say that this is Google's attempt to woo business users, which ultimately is key to its Google Apps push.
And now back to Pichai for a recap of Chrome OS:
* Instant Web
* Same experience everywhere
* Seamless sharing with friends and colleagues
* Always connected
* Security built in
* Forever new, through constant OS updates.
Where are we now? It's a work in progress. We aren't fully done yet. Such as CloudPrint being in beta. Need camera support. Need to tune performance. And fix bugs. But Acer and Samsung Chrome OS notebooks will go on sale globally in mid-2011, with other manufacturers to follow.
But Pichai says thousands of Googlers are using Chrome OS notebooks as their main computers. Also, Google's announcing a pilot program–a Chrome notebook dubbed Cr-48. The specs: 12.1-inch display, full-size keyboard, oversized clickable touchpad, world-mode 3G via a Verizon service, dual-band WiFi-n, eight hours of active use, and eight-plus days of standby, Web cam, no caps-lock key, no function keys, no hard drive, jail-breaking mode built in.
American Airlines, Kraft, Cardinal Health, Jason's Deli, Logitech, Virgin America, other businesses will try these Chrome OS notebooks in pilot programs. For consumers, a few users will get an offer on the Chrome browser to join the pilot program–we will ship them a Chrome notebook device. It's called Cr-48.
Damn, WordPress hiccuped and I lost some notes, including comments from Google CEO Eric Schmidt–you can get the written equivalent in his blog post here–and much of the Q&A with reporters. (Cloud computing, I won't be the first to say, doesn't always work right.) A few highlights:
No pricing info yet on Chrome OS notebooks. (The pilot Cr-48 devices are not being sold, won't even have branding on them.)
Key question related to my aside on apps vs. HTML5 Web: What's the difference between NYTimes as an app vs. on the Web? Pichai: To us, it's more choice to users and users will guide where this ends up. Some extra features, like offline access. Plus, cutting-edge technologies can be embedded in the app and don't have to wait until they get embedded into browsers.
Has the rise of iPad (and the declining popularity of netbooks) changed the role of what machines people want? Pichai: We can bring this experience to a variety of devices.

By CARL SMITH
The city of Starkville is currently accepting absentee votes for the Sept. 27 municipal bond referendum through noon Saturday.
City Hall will open at 8 a.m. Saturday to accommodate absentee voters. Poll workers are still needed for the vote. Those interested must be a registered voter and reside inside the city limits. Those interested in becoming a poll worker should contact Jim McKell, election commission chairman, at (662) 312-6563 or City Clerk Markeeta Outlaw or Deputy City Clerk Emma Gandy at (662) 323-2525.
According to the Tuesday Board of Aldermen agenda, Mayor Parker Wiseman will make comments about the upcoming referendum.
"I feel optimistic (about the bond)," Wiseman said Sunday. "I think there is widespread recognition that it is critical to the future of our public safety to provide an adequate police station. The facility the PD operates in right now is far from adequate and lacks many of the basics required for the officers to do their job."
Also during the board meeting, Aldermen will consider approving a budget amendment, consider renaming the Budget Committee to the Audit and Budget Committee and revising the duties and responsibilities of the group to match the potential name change.
Ward 2 Alderman Sandra Sistrunk said the budget amendment up for consideration is a house cleaning adjustment to even out departmental books.
"This a routine budget amend to reflect where some overs and unders which have occurred throughout the year in various departments," Sistrunk said.
Wiseman said the committee's structure will remain the same while it picks up timely audits and reviews before a contracted auditor does the lion's share of work.
"The city had a conversation with our primary auditor. He thought it would be a good idea to have a committee that stays in touch with him and stays on top of the city's audit status."
Sistrunk said the city will continue its relationship with an independent auditor to ensure a third party review.
Aldermen will also hear requests from Main Street Association representative Jennifer Gregory for in-kind services from the city for Pumpkinpalooza and the Downtown Block Party. Gregory will request a total of $2,323 for services from the Starkville Police Department, sanitation division and electric department for both events. Both events will request $750 each of in-kind services from the police department and $209 from the electric department, while $150 is slated for the Oct. 14 Pumpkinpalooza for sanitation and $255 will be requested for Friday's block party.
"These events are not only positive for our citizens, but they most definitely bring visitors into town and are centered around promoting Starkville restaurants and retail stores," Gregory said. "They support the city of Starkville with sales tax. I feel like we have a great partnership with the city, and we very much appreciate the assistance we receive."
The board will also consider closing Main Street from Jackson Street East to Caldwell Street for the Oct. 4 Pops on the Plaza. A street/sidewalk closing permit application was submitted by Robert Phillips on behalf of the Starkville-MSU Symphony Association on Sept. 6 for the closure.
Starkville aldermen have approved similar requests for all three events in the past.
Lynn Spruill, Starkville's chief administrative officer, will present a report on the status of the Carver Drive hydrolics and hydrology study.
"(The project) is basically in process and should be completed in about a month," Spruill said. "At that time, a full engineer's report will be made available to the board."
In other board business, the board will consider appointments to the Transportation Commission for Ward 3 and to the Solid Waste and Recycling Committee for Wards 2, 4 and 6.

Force, E.R., Paradis, S. and Simandl, G.J. (1999): Sedimentary Manganese; in Selected British Columbia Mineral Deposit Profiles, Volume 3, Industrial Minerals, G.J. Simandl, Z.D. Hora and D.V. Lefebure, Editors, British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines.
SYNONYMS: "Bathtub-ring manganese", "stratified basin margin manganese", shallow-marine manganese deposits around black shale basins.
COMMODITY: Mn.
EXAMPLES (British Columbia (MINFILE #): Canada/International): Molango (Mexico), Urcut (Hungary), Nikopol (Ukraine), Groote Eylandt (Australia).
CAPSULE DESCRIPTION: Laterally extensive beds of manganite, psilomelane, pyrolusite, rhodochrosite and other manganese minerals that occur within marine sediments, such as dolomite, limestone, chalk and black shale. The manganese sediments often display a variety of textures, including oolites and sedimentary pisolites, rhythmic laminations, slumped bedding, hard-ground fragments and abundant fossils. "Primary ore" is commonly further enriched by supergene process. These deposits are the main source of manganese on the world scale.
TECTONIC SETTING: Interior or marginal basin resting on stable craton.
DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT / GEOLOGICAL SETTING: These deposits formed in shallow marine depositional environments (15-300 m), commonly in sheltered sites around islands along some areas of continental shelf and the interior basins. Most deposits overlie oxidized substrates, but basinward, carbonate deposits may be in reducing environments. Many are in within transgressive stratigraphic sequences near or at black shale pinchouts.
AGE OF MINERALIZATION: Most deposits formed during lower to middle Paleozoic, Jurassic, mid-Cretaceous and Proterozoic.
HOST/ASSOCIATED ROCK TYPES: Shallow marine sedimentary rocks, such as dolomites, limestone, chalk and black shales, in starved-basins and lithologies, such as sponge-spicule clays, are favourable hosts. Associated rock types are sandstones, quartzites, and a wide variety of fine-grained clastic rocks
DEPOSIT FORM: Mn-enriched zones range from few to over 50 m in thickness and extend from few to over 50 km laterally. They commonly have a "bathtub-ring" or "donut" shape. Some deposits may consist of a landward oxide facies and basinward reduced carbonate facies. Ore bodies represent discrete portions of these zones
TEXTURE/STRUCTURE: Oolites and sedimentary pisolites, rhythmic laminations, slumped bedding, hard-ground fragments, abundant fossils, fossil replacements, and siliceous microfossils are some of commonly observed textures.
ORE MINERALOGY [Principal and subordinate]: Manganese oxides: mainly manganite, psilomelane, pyrolusite; carbonates: mainly rhodochrosite, kutnohorite, calcio-rhodochrosite.
GANGUE MINERALOGY [Principal and subordinate]: Kaolinite, goethite, smectite, glauconite, quartz, biogenic silica; magnetite or other iron oxides, pyrite, marcasite, phosphate, ± barite, carbonaceous material, ± chlorite, ± siderite, manganocalcite.
WEATHERING: Grades of primary ore are relatively uniform; however, supergene enrichment may result in a two or three-fold grade increase. The contacts between primary ore and supergene-enriched zones are typically sharp. Mn carbonates may weather to brown, nondescript rock. Black secondary oxides are common.
ORE CONTROLS: Sedimentary manganese deposits formed along the margins of stratified basins where the shallow oxygenated water and deeper anoxic water interface impinged on shelf sediments. They were deposited at the intersection of an oxidation-reduction interface with platformal sediments. Sites protected from clastic sedimentation within transgressive sequences are most favourable for accumulation of high grade primary deposits.
GENETIC MODELS: Traditionally these deposits are regarded as shallow, marine Mn sediments which form rims around paleo-islands and anoxic basins. Manganese precipitation is believed to take place in stratified water masses at the interface between anoxic seawater and near surface oxygenated waters.. The Black Sea and stratified fjords, such as Saanich Inlet or Jervis inlet, British Columbia (Emerson 1982; Grill, 1982) are believed to represent modern analogues. Extreme Fe fractionation is caused by a low solubility of iron in low Eh environments where Fe precipitates as iron sulfide. A subsequent increase in Eh and/or pH of Mn-rich water may produce Mn-rich, Fe-depleted chemical sediments. The manganese oxide facies is preserved on oxidized substrates. Carbonate facies may be preserved either in oxidized or reduced substrates in slightly deeper waters.
ASSOCIATED DEPOSIT TYPES: Black shale hosted deposits, such as upwelling-type phosphates (F07), sediment-hosted barite deposits (E17), shale-hosted silver-vanadium and similar deposits (E16) and sedimentary-hosted Cu (E04), may be located basinward from the manganese deposits. Bauxite and other laterite-type deposits (B04), may be located landward from these manganese deposits. No direct genetic link is implied between sedimentary manganese deposits and any of these associated deposits.
COMMENTS: A slightly different model was proposed to explain the origin of Mn-bearing black shales occurring in the deepest areas of anoxic basins by Huckriede and Meischner (1996).
Calvert and Pedersen (1996) suggest an alternative hypothesis, where high accumulation rate of organic matter in sediments will promote the development of anoxic conditions below the sediment surface causing surface sediments to be enriched in Mn oxyhydroxides. When buried they will release diagenetic fluids, supersaturated with respect to Mn carbonates, that will precipitate Ca-Mn carbonates.
Sedimentary manganese deposits may be transformed into Mn-silicates during metamorphism. The metamorphic process could be schematically represented by the reaction:
Rhodochrosite + SiO2 = Rhodonite + CO2.
Mn-silicates may be valuable as ornamental stones, but they are not considered as manganese metal ores under present market conditions.
GEOCHEMICAL SIGNATURE: Mn-enriched beds. Mn/Fe ratio is a local indicator of the basin morphology that may be reflecting separation of Mn from Fe by precipitation of pyrite. Some of the large manganese deposits, including Groote Eylandt, coincide with, or slightly postdate, d 13C positive excursions. These d 13C anomalies may therefore indicate favorable stratigraphic horizons for manganese exploration.
GEOPHYSICAL SIGNATURE: Geophysical exploration is generally not effective. Supergene cappings may be suitable targets for the self potential method.
OTHER EXPLORATION GUIDES: These deposits occur within shallow, marine stratigraphic sequences Black shale pinchouts or sedimentary rocks deposited near onset of marine regression are particularly favourable for exploration. High Mn concentrations are further enhanced in depositional environments characterized by weak clastic sedimentation. Manganese carbonates occur basinward from the manganese oxide ore. Many sedimentary manganese deposits formed during periods of high sea levels that are contemporaneous with adjacent anoxic basin. If Mn oxides are the main target, sequences containing shellbed-biogenic silica-glauconite are favorable. Evidence of the severe weathering of the land mass adjacent to, and contemporaneous with the favourable sedimentary setting, is also considered as a positive factor. In Precambrian terrains sequences containing both black shales and oxide-facies iron formations are the most favorable.
TYPICAL GRADE AND TONNAGE: The average deposit contains 6.3 Mt at 30% MnO, but many deposits exceed 100 million tonnes. There is a trend in recent years to mine high-grade ores (37 to 52% Mn) to maximize the output of existing plants. The countries with large, high-grade ore reserves are South Africa, Australia, Brazil and Gabon.
ECONOMIC LIMITATIONS: On the global scale the demand for manganese ore, siliconmanganese, and ferromanganese depends largely on the steel industry. The 1996 world supply of manganese alloys was estimated at 6.6 Mt. Partly in response to highly competitive markets, in the western world much of the manganese ore mining is being integrated with alloy production. As a result, the bulk of manganese units for the steel production is now being supplied in form of alloys. There is also a new tendency to have the ore processed in China and CIS countries. The high cost of constructing new, environment-friendly plants and lower costs of energy are some of the reasons.
END USES: Used in pig iron-making, in upgrading of ferroalloys, in dry cell batteries, animal feed, fertilizers, preparation of certain aluminum alloys, pigments and colorants. Steel and iron making accounts for 85 to 90% of demand for manganese in the United States. Increasing use of electric-arc furnaces in steel-making has resulted in gradual shift from high-carbon ferromanganese to siliconmanganese. Natural manganese dioxide is gradually being displaced by synthetic (mainly electrolitic variety). There is no satisfactory substitute for manganese in major applications.
IMPORTANCE: Sedimentary marine deposits are the main source of manganese on the world scale. Some of these deposits were substantially upgraded by supergene enrichment (Dammer, Chivas and McDougall, 1996). Volcanogenic manganese deposits (G02) are of lesser importance. Progress is being made in the technology needed for mining of marine nodules and crusts (Chung, 1996); however, this large seabed resource is subeconomic under present market conditions.

I went there, and to tell the truth, it was very kid friendly. The waiters were very kind, and the buffet was tall enough for them to reach. I have 3 kids and they loved it. If you go there, you haft to order the sushi. Amazing!
Posted by charlie on 03/15/2010
Its not that bad, food was delicious especially the seafood. The buffet from outside is not very magnificent but inside is. I would recommended this place. The prices are better than other buffets.
Posted by Anon on 12/30/2007
I love this place for their sushi. The only thing I don't like is how the waitresses are up your butt sometimes. And of course the hogs who take all of the crab legs when they clearly see people waiting behind them. Great garlic green beans, too! But seriously -- I love love love the sushi.
Posted by Tanya on 08/16/2007
I've been to Chinese buffets all over Philly and like this one the best of all. Big selection of sushi and many unusual and authentic Chinese dishes like whole fish or salt & pepper shrimp which aren't found at most generic Chinese buffets. Decor is minimal (like a diner), but food is broad and varied, especially on Friday/Saturday nights.
Posted by does not worth your money on 07/17/2007
I've been there couple of times last year and do not want to come back. Food -- regular Chinese food, nothing extraordinary, but selection is much smaller than other Chinese buffets offer yet prices are about the same. Service -- sleeping time. I'ts not out of business only because it's located in a shopping center. Avoid this buffet.

What is considered ugly, visually and personality wise?
Just curious..
Most Helpful Opinion
A non symmetrical appearance is considered ugly, for physical appearance. I mean one side of the face/teeth/legs/boobs you name it, not looking similar to the other one. Like if someone has one eye that can fully open and the other that can't because they have too much eyelid or something. It creates a weird and confusing kind of look that drives most people away, and puts most people off too.
People who have a massive amount of non-symmetrical features get considered ugly. Those who don't are generally considered normal, and those lucky enough to be able to hide the flaws or indeed, have none at all, are considered beautiful, handsome, or smoking hot, depending on your opinion.
Love always override those minor flaws, as well.
Personality relates to anyone who has strong emotional ties to the more negative side of emotions, such as fear, anger, sadness and that sort of thing. Someone who gets angry quick and fast and lets the anger control their actions would be considered ugly, as well. Spiteful and nasty people are also considered ugly on the inside, because they have a more negative and mean outlook on life and other people - not fun to be with most of the time.
My opinions anyway. I hope this helps you. :)
well said
- Show Older Hide Older
Nicely put. Cheers!
What Guys Said 9
As much as I LOVE his music, Axl Rose has caused 3 or 4 riots to date at his shows by walking out on the crowds for BS reasons, N when he played his first show with the "NEW" Guns 'N' Roses, he left word with security that if Slash or any of his former bandmates showed up, they were to be thrown out N banned from the premisis. THAT'S what I call ugly personality wise. Visually, I don't think of anyone as ugly. Shelly Duval (Jack Nicholson's wife in The Shining) is homely N not pretty AT ALL, but she's a beautiful person on the inside, so that cancels out her looks...
For looks: I usually look at a girl and try to grasp the good things about her looks instead of the bad (which has got me some flak from my bros who say I have "bad taste.") For me, I really like girls with cure faces. If she has an average face but looks like she cares about her face and hygiene, that makes her more attractive to me because it implies confidence. Now, if a girl has a double chin and looks as if she could care less about how she looks, then its over for me right there. I think about what her unattractive physical attire could mean about her cognitive assessment of herself, i.e. low personality, emotional problems, etc.
For personality: I've dated some bad apples.Girls who were considered "hot," but only knew how to act a fool and even cheat. This for me is UGLY. If you can't even focus on the world around you and nothing but yourself, then you deserve to be alone. Nuff said. Some people just need to understand that once they get their heads out of their asses, then they can finally work a relationship to its fullest.
Visualy: Bad teeth, teribal amount of acne so it look like your face was chewed on or your face looks like it has blisters all over :P and greasy hair, huge thunder thys (but not sticks either), girls who look like I can splinter them if I f*** them and big forheads :P
Personality: Mean, looks down on others, slutish out side of a relationship (I like kinky women but not ones the whore them selves), back stabers who gossip, girls who tease kids who are slow :( (I hit one girl who was doing so with this one kid on the bus)
I hate sayings but beauty is really in the eye of the beholder. I have dated women that my friends say are gorgeous to odd looking. As someone else wrote on this question symetry is a big key to what people consider good looking. As on the inside-someone that can give nothing of themselves is what I consider ugly on the inside. Self absorbed=ugly-spitefull=ugly etc
What Girls Said 6
Sloppy/dirty are generally considered physically unattractive. Some people are more particular and like to plan their outfits, etc. for a variety of other reasons (self-esteem, etc.). "Ugly" is when you're not maintaining yourself at all, so no one can see the wonderful person hiding behind the scruff.
Personality wise, anyone who is too nervous or fussy -- nagging all the time, questioning all the time, etc. -- is generally considered unpleasant. A person who curses and rants all the time is considered "ugly".
Someone who does not keep themselves up...not clean..etc..
Girls: If they have acne..it should be tried to hide it...if possible..or do your best to get rid of it...but, it shouldn't be too big of a deal.
Guys: Stay clean...have clean clothes...shower often.
Manners: Have good manners! Belching at the table loudly is gross..if you do it you should at least say excuse me...along with being respectful to your elders...I think everyone should at least try to respect your elders.
Also, good personality. Non-aggressive. And don't cuss like a sailor.
Anything that signifies that you don't care about yourself or anyone else, like:
Physical:Extreme acme, warts, foot fungus, really long dirty fingernails, greasy hair, flakey hair, yellow teeth, extremely obese (chubby and kind of fat are OK), worn out/dirty/ripped up clothes that don't fit your body, all around bad hygiene.
Personality:Nagging all the time, high-matinence, all they hope to get out of a relationship is sex, ignorant, ignores the truth, closed off, people who are depressed all the time, know-it-alls, rude, acts before thinks, thinking they are better than everyone else, always trying to joke at the expense of others, etc.
looking masculine if you're female and vice versa. symetricality. having the best look for your body face type...just looking put together like you thought through what you were doing
personality...beautiful personalities just brighten up the world. they are the free thinkers open to knew people and ideas, who try their best in every situation
ugly on the outside means that they don't brush their teeth, they wear clothes like it has never been washed and has been worn for 100 years before they found it, and they smell like they have slept in the garbage can for 10 days.
ugly on the inside is just immoral people who like to lie, steal, cheat, use others, always angry and hiding things, looking out only for themselves stuff like that.
Have an opinion?

Members of the House of Representatives yesterday overwhelmingly threw out a motion seeking to institute an investigation into the closure of Dangote cement factory located in Benue State.
Sponsored by Rep. Hassan Saleh, the motion sought the leave of the House to mandate the committee on commerce to among other things, "investigate the circumstance surrounding the non-implementation of the Cement Backward Integration Policy on local production of cement and report back within four weeks."
In his motion, Rep. Saleh informed the House that the management of Dangote Cement Plc has concluded arrangements to temporarily close down its four million metric tons per annum cement factory in Gboko, Benue State.
According to him, the closure of the factory "is capable of leading to loss of jobs in the country particularly in Benue state and if urgent steps are not taken to address the problems that this company is facing, spread to other companies is imminent while inadvertently creating jobs for citizens in other countries from where these commodities are being imported."
However, when the question was put by Deputy Speaker Emeka Ihedioha, who presided over the sitting, as to whether the House should investigate the matter or not, majority of members voted in opposition throwing out the motion.

Hi guys. I've recently lost just over 3 stone (I've lost 50 pounds) and I am now between 10 stone 8 pounds and 11 stone (140-146 pounds) (I've been fluctuating a little bit, depends how badly/well I've eaten that past week/fortnight - I only weigh myself on Sundays). Anyway, I've noticed that I've dropped a lot of fat on my chest, legs and arms, but I still have some around my stomach/back.
I was just wondering if any of you guys have tips for the best way to tone my stomach and cut the fat. I do a fair bit of cardio, running for 30mins about 3 times a week, and riding bikes for around 45mins about 4 or 5 times a week, and I'm sure that's good for my conditioning, but not so great for toning up my stomach. I'm sure sit ups are a good way of doing it, but does anyone have any ideas of how many reps/set and how often I should be doing this, and how best to achieve results?
Cheers for your help, I know this sounds like a stupid post, but I just thought it'd be best to ask a bunch of sport fans rather than just my friends who have no idea/interest!

He says: "We are starting the new year with some new projects, new goals and new challenges. Whatever you do, always try to be the best you can be." Good words to design (and live) by. Did he make it better?

Trial Run- BC,Yukon,NWT and Alberta
This isnt really a ride report, Its a trial run ride report.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
In preparation for riding my Buell to South America this fall, I have followed the advice of a number of people and am taking a trial run for 10 days to see how my choice of bike, gear , packing system etc works out. Since I am hoping to write a live road report while in SA, I am following , again, the advice of a great number of people and am attempting to write a live RR.<o:p></o:p>
My trip to South America is, hopefully going to follow no set plan. Head South until its time to turn around and head North. Unfortunately, this weeks trip has a deadline as I have to be back to work for July 10th, so a bit more planning had to be done . The plan/route is to leave after work Thursday, ride from my home in Williams Lake BC to Quesnel,then up the Blackwater road and camp somewhere along the way. Then ride to Prince George, up the Stewart-Cassiar highway to Watson Lake, down through Muncho Lake to Fort Nelson, then up the Liard Highway to Fort Simpson, on to Hay river to visit my brother, then head home through Alberta to Jasper and home to Williams Lake. We will see how it goes J<o:p></o:p>
Day one June 30th 213 kms Williams Lake to Punchaw Lake
I left Williams Lake in the rain. It had been raining on and off all day, and when I left, the rain was on. I stopped briefly at New Life Cycle, a bike shop in Williams Lake, to drop off a book Dave, the owner, had lent me ( 1 man caravan. If you havent read it, I recommend it. The 1st documented RTW on a motorcycle) Dave is a great guy with a great shop and bent over backwards to get me the parts I needed before I had to leave on this trip ( just a little plug)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Stopped for gas, and then on my way to Quesnel<o:p></o:p>
Stopped for a p*ss break at the old steam shovel in the park<o:p></o:p>
On the Bridge over the Blackwater river<o:p></o:p>
Oh yeah, my kind of road
Went as far as Punchaw Lake and camped at a (free) gov campsite (pics didnt turn out)<o:p></o:p>
Tent, sleeping bag and cot worked out good. Penny stove, not so much. I have to buy methyl hydrate tomorrow. Isopropyl isnt doing the trick for me. Luckily I had a nice fire going.<o:p></o:p>
Nice pics! I like the luggage setup - looks like it gives you some room to move back and forth on the seat...
Safe riding!
More to come once I get the tenr set up
I am at Meziadin prov campsite where the internet is slow but it is expensive!
I would be very interested in knowing the fuel situation between Ft.Liard and Hay River....sounds like a fun ride.
In Watson Lake at the air force hotel, where they gurantee the internet is fast. We'll see.
updates once photos have loaded
Looks like you're making good time! How's the packing/equipment working out?
There is stuff I haven't used yet, but I am only a few days into it, so I will know more by the end of next week.
But, overall, equipment and packing is going well
Update soon. Slloooooow loading pictures. I will see how they loaded after I go for supper
Day 2 July 1 698kms Punchaw Lake to Meziadin Lake
Left Punchaw early and rode to Prince George for gas and headed west for Fort Fraser. While I am away next year, my wife is moving back to her home town. I stopped to check on the work done to the septic system on our new house on the way through.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
New House<o:p></o:p>
I carried on to Burns Lake where I was planning to stop and find an internet connection I stopped at the tourist info booth for wifi, but it was closed. But .. there was free internet and a table to sit at, and the rain had slowed by that time<o:p></o:p>
My office for a while<o:p></o:p>
While sitting in my new office, a couple of young ladies drove up and asked if they could help me. I told them no, I am OK. They said no, really, can we help you? so I am thinking, What, I shouldnt be here.<o:p></o:p>
They then told me they worked at the info booth, and they wanted to help me. They then told me there was a Canada Day celebration in the park and invited me. <o:p></o:p>
After I was done online, I headed down to check it out. I got there Just at the end of the parade and the beginning of the festivities<o:p></o:p>
Lots of people hanging out<o:p></o:p>
Vendors selling their wares<o:p></o:p>
A band<o:p></o:p>
Interesting head gear<o:p></o:p>
More people<o:p></o:p>
Nothing says Canada like a traditional Canada day goat<o:p></o:p>
More interesting head gear<o:p></o:p>
Headed off in the rain for Smithers, where I stopped for a bite to eat at McDs, then carried on.<o:p></o:p>
At the next gas stop(kitwanga) met a couple from Oz on a KLR and a DR650 heading to Argentina. Chatted a bit then carried on to Meziadin, where I set up camp in the Provincial campsite.<o:p></o:p>
Met a couple from Germany who were riding their bicycles from Anchorage to Patagonia, and a well travelled Dutch lady from South Africa<o:p></o:p>
My brother lives in Hay River and drives that road regularly. Here is a cut and past of e-mails he sent regarding fuel on the route
> Hi Bro.
> Here's some distances in the NWT.
> Hay River to Enterprise = 39 km.
> Enterprise to Ft Providence junction = 101 km Fuel is 40 in to
> Ft Prov.
> Ft Prov junction to Ft Liard Highway junction = 225 km No fuel
> at this junction. Its 67 km and a ferry ride to fuel in Ft
> Simpson. Ferry runs 8:30 until 11:30.
> Liard junction to Ft Liard = 217 km. Its 10 km into Ft Liard for fuel.
> Ft Liard to a place called Camp 99 = 75 km There is fuel there
> 24/7 on a visa card.
> Camp 99 to the Alaska Highway = 99 km
> Liard highway to Ft Nelson 27 km
> Hope this helps
This is a bit confusing for me, cause I will probably be going from Fort Nelson to Hay river, not the other way.
So lets see if I have this right.
If I was to get fuel in Ft Nelson and go to Camp 99 27+99=126km
Camp 99 to Ft Liard 75+10=85km
Ft Liard to Ft Simpson 10+217+67=294km
Ft Simpson to Ft Providence 67+225+40=332km
Ft Providence to Hay River 40+101+39=180 km
I enjoyed the picture of the band, the hands in the pocket, too cool for school look made me laugh :D
Won't sourcing parts for a Buel be a bit of a pain in SA ?
Enjoy your ride
Day 3 July 2 615 kms Meziadin to Watson Lake
Woke up this morning and it was raining. It had rained all night, but inside my Big Agnes tent I was nice and dry. Got up early, packed all my gear .in the rain and the bike wouldnt start. I kind of figured that was going to happen, as when I got to the campsite the night before, the battery was almost dead, and I had to bump start it. I had run the heated grip quite a bit the day before, and figured that was probably the reason. Pushed my bike up the hill and tried to bump start it again, but a combination of cold engine, and wet, real smooth pavement, the back tire just skidded.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
Hmmmm. So I sat, in the rain, and waited for people to get up so I could ask someone for a jump start. The first couple early risers had either no jumper cables, or didnt speak enough English to know what jumper cables were ( I looked it up and Jumper cable sounds almost the same in German, so maybe it was just me)<o:p></o:p>
Finally, a young fella was walking up the road and I asked him, he said sure, so I pushed my bike back down the hill to his truck and he got out his cables, and the Buell fired right up. He was fairly local, so I asked him if he thought I would be able to buy jumper cables at Bell 2 ( next town) and he wasnt sure. So then he offers me the cables he had. Said he had a better set at home. I thanked him profusely, but the cables in my panniers, and away I went. If anyone knows a young fellow Named Randy from Terrace who drives a silver chevy pickup, tell him BC Brian says thanks again. Gotta like random acts of kindness.<o:p></o:p>
So, away I go in the rain with a new to me set of cables . I get to Bell 2 for gas, and . Bike wont start. Crap. I dig out Randys cables and ask a lady if she ould mind giving me a boost after she fills up with gas. While I am waiting, I recheck my battery connection, and they are a little loose. I tighten them and the bike fires right up. Problem solved<o:p></o:p>
At Bell 2<o:p></o:p>
So away I go, in the rain. It was pretty cold and miserable out, and I didnt dare use my hand warmers, so I just rode, and rode, and rode, in the rain. I stopped a couple times to stretch, always near a hill, just in case. Bike started good every time. Got to Dease lake for fuel and lunch, and couldnt find a restaurant. Started and stopped the bike a number of times while trying to find lunch. No problems. Found a deli in the super market and had a real good, real greasy, full of saturated fat hot wings, fries and a corn dog ( I could feel the ateries hardening. Left Dease Lake with a full tank and a full belly, but the bike hesitated a bit beforeit started. Hmmmm must be because I started and started so many times in the lasr while...................
Rode for a couple of hours, and needed to stop for a break, so I pulled over for a stretch<o:p></o:p>
Walked around, had a drink, got back on the bike and .wouldnt start. Crap. Unload the bike, clean the connections real good, retighten....nope. Get out the cables and stand on the side of the road holding up the cables to every vehicle that drives by (not a lot, I might add)<o:p></o:p>
After a few vehicles drive by, an older motorhome with Alaska plates stops and we hook up my new cables. Bike fires right up and away I go. <o:p></o:p>
Now I am getting concerned. I stop for another break and to add fuel, on a hill and the bike fires up like there was never a problem<o:p></o:p>
Finally I get to the Yukon border<o:p></o:p>
Left the bike running for this shot<o:p></o:p>
And Arrive at the Air Force Hotel<o:p></o:p>
Get all signed in, go to move my bike, and you guessed it, Wont start.<o:p></o:p>
The hotel owner couldnt find his battery charger, so the Buell is hooked up to his pickup over night, and hopefully will have enough of a charge to keep me going for a bit tomorrow. <o:p></o:p>
Oh yeah, It stopped raining for the last couple hundred kms, and the sun even came out for a while<o:p></o:p>
Sorry to hear about your charging troubles. I had a similar incident last summer traveling to Mexico and my bike wouldn't charge the battery. Could it be the charging system? Regulator/rectifier? That's what the issue was with my bike. You'll know after a while as even with a push start or jumper cables it won't run (battery will be completely dead).
Best of luck. Fingers crossed for you until you can make it to a shop or repair facility to test things out.
Check that your ground strap to frame connection is good and clean, as in take it loose, scrape any paint away and smear a little grease on it and the cable end. Do the same thing with the starter connections. If your battery is good, then it has to be something fairly simple given that its either dead or fires right up.
