Brave Dragons: A Chinese Basketball Team, an American Coach, and Two Cultures Clashingby Jim Yardley
Staff Pick
Pulitzer Prize winner Jim Yardley brings us an entertaining account of a season with the Shanxi Brave Dragons, one of the worst teams in the Chinese Basketball Association. In an attempt to improve his team, owner Boss Wang hires a former NBA coach (the first in the CBA) to take over. What ensues is both a lively basketball story and an illustration of how China's attempts to modernize can sometimes be at odds with its traditions.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The wonderfully original story of a struggling Chinese basketball team and its quixotic, often comical attempt to right its fortunes by copying the American stars of the NBA — a season of cultural misunderstanding that transcends sports and reveals China's ambivalent relationship with the West.
When the Shanxi Brave Dragons, one of China's worst professional basketball teams, hired former NBA coach Bob Weiss, the team's owner, Boss Wang, promised that Weiss would be allowed to Americanize his players by teaching them "advanced basketball culture." That promise would be broken from the moment Weiss landed in China. Desperate for his team to play like Americans, Wang — a peasant turned steel tycoon — nevertheless refused to allow his players the freedom and individual expression necessary to truly change their games.
Former New York Times Beijing bureau chief Jim Yardley tells the story of the resulting culture clash with sensitivity and a keen comic sensibility. Readers meet the Brave Dragons, a cast of colorful, sometimes heartbreaking oddballs from around the world: the ambitious Chinese assistant coach, Liu Tie, who believes that Chinese players are genetically inferior and can improve only through the repetitious drilling once advocated by ancient kung fu masters; the moody and selfish American import, Bonzi Wells, a former NBA star so unnerved by China that initially he locks himself in his apartment; the Taiwanese point guard, Little Sun, who is demonized by his mainland Chinese coaches; and the other Chinese players, whose lives sometimes seem little different from those of factory workers.
As readers follow the team on a fascinating road trip through modern China — from glamorous Shanghai and bureaucratic Beijing to the booming port city Tianjin and the polluted coal capital of Taiyuan — we see Weiss learn firsthand what so many other foreigners in China have discovered: China changes only when and how it wants to change.
"'We believe that by working harder, bit by bit, it's like water dripping into a cup. Over time, you finally achieve a full cup.' Such is the philosophy of basketball according to Liu Tie, the unsuccessful coach of the Shanxi Brave Dragons, as reported by Pulitzer Prize-winner Yardley in this rags-to-riches tale of modern Chinese basketball. Ten years ago, when Boss Wang — #236 on Forbes list of China's richest — acquired the bedraggled Brave Dragons, he set his sights on turning them into a fire-breathing dream team. A farmer's son, Wang escaped the poverty of the Cultural Revolution when he made the cut for the elite basketball team, and later — as a 'Red Hat Capitalist' — made his millions in steel. Yardley, the former Beijing bureau chief for the New York Times, chronicles Wang's Sisyphean challenge beginning in 2008 when Wang recruited Bob Weiss of the Seattle Sonics to become the first NBA coach to lead a team in China. Weiss moved to Taiyuan, the infamously polluted Shanxi capital, where he soon became a local celebrity. The Dragons provide Yardley with a colorful cast of characters, including the notorious Bonzi Wells of Portland's 'Jail Blazers,' who came to China to play with the team. Despite rampant corruption among game officials and myriad cultural obstacles, Weiss remarkably fills Tie's proverbial cup in this engaging story that will appeal to sports fans and general readers alike."

"Rollicking....Lively and often hilarious...Yardley's tale resonates far beyond sports...He manages to capture, in touchingly human detail, the essence of a nation in transition." Brook Larmer, The Washington Post
"Illuminating...Brave Dragons is to Chinese basketball what Laura Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit was to Depression-era horse racing: Both books certainly do justice to their respective sports but also use them as tools to gain access to wholly different cultures." Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air
"An engaging history of basketball in China....In Yardley's deft handling, the tale of the Brave Dragons and their American coach becomes something much bigger than an account of an oddball basketball team." Jason Zengerle, The New York Times Book Review
"Yardley's vivid, pointed, and often very funny examination of Chinese basketball has much to say about the country at large — and the way Americans often come flying down the lane at it, only to find themselves called for a charging foul." Jay Jennings, San Francisco Chronicle
"Remarkable...Brave Dragons is about much more than basketball. It is about more than Weiss's adventures. It is a serious look at the deep divisions between American and Chinese cultures." Steve Kelley, The Seattle Times
"Brave Dragons is a winner — informative and conversational, occasionally funny and frequently suspenseful....Yardley rewards readers with his close eye and felicitous prose. This book amounts to cultural catnip." Karen R. Long, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Exceptionally ambitious...Yardley's observations of a country in transition are instructive, sometimes even poetic." Bill Littlefield, The Boston Globe
"Entertaining...Yardley presents basketball and young China's growing fascination with it as an apt, pacy metaphor for a China cautiously engaging with the West." David Shaftel, Mint
"A-. Brave Dragons is thorough micro- and macro-history, capable of sucking in both the basketball-obsessed and the non-athletically inclined." Vadim Rizov, The A.V. Club
"Yardley strikes gold....The Brave Dragons put together a decent season, and Yardley a memorable book." -Booklist
"Unique....Engaging....A fantastically implausible, ultimately cautionary tale of how the Chinese and American ways often mix like oil and water." Kirkus
"Brave Dragons has all the ingredients of a farce: larger-than-life characters, sudden plot twists, and don't-let-the-door-hit-you-on-the-way-out moments. But Jim Yardley sees the bigger picture: In many ways, basketball is a metaphor for the emergence of China as an economic power and its relationship with the rest of the world." Curt Schleier, The Seattle Times
"Masterly... Brave Dragons is a must-read for any hoops fans with a hankering to understand what is and isn't happening in China." Alan Paul, Slam
"An engaging story that will appeal to sports fans and general readers alike." Publishers Weekly
"In delightful and insightful ways this wonderful book takes the reader into a world, China, through another world, basketball, that even helps illuminate a third world, America. I couldn't put it down." Ira Berkow, co-author with Walt Frazier of Rockin' Steady: A Guide to Basketball and Cool
"Jim Yardley's terrific book, telling the story of an obscure Chinese basketball team and its American coach, opens a vivid window on an unexpected item in the broader Sino-American encounter, and it does so not just perceptively but entertainingly as well. Nobody should mistake Brave Dragons for a sports book alone — yes, it's full of action, big personalities, and excitement, but it's also a universal story of human striving and cultural collision that's hard to put down." Richard Bernstein, author of Ultimate Journey: Retracing the Path of an Ancient Buddhist Monk Who Crossed Asia in Search of Enlightenment
"By following a backwater Chinese basketball team and its new American coach for a season, Jim Yardley has created a character-driven narrative that tells the reader as much about contemporary China as it does about sport. Yardley takes us into the gym, on the road, and behind closed doors in this immersive, funny and suspenseful book, which I couldn't put down." Michael Meyer, author of The Last Days of Old Beijing: Life in the Vanishing Backstreets of a City Transformed
"Jim Yardley's wonderful book not only provides a unique prism for understanding today's China but is as entertaining a book as I've read in some time. It's also a basketball fan's delight." Bryan Burrough, author of Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco
From the former New York Times Beijing bureau chief, a closely observed story of a struggling Chinese basketball team and its quixotic, often comical attempt to make the playoffs by copying the American stars of the NBA — a season of cultural misunderstanding that would transcend sports and reveal China's ambivalent relationship with the West.
When the worst professional basketball team in China, the Shanxi Brave Dragons, hired former NBA coach Bob Weiss to improve its fortunes, the team's owner, Boss Wang, promised that Weiss would be allowed to Americanize his players by teaching them "advanced basketball culture." That promise would be broken from the moment Weiss landed in China. Desperate for his team to play like Americans, Wang — a peasant turned steel tycoon — nevertheless refused to allow his players any freedom and individuality. As we follow this team of colorful oddballs on a fascinating road trip through modern China, we see Weiss learn firsthand what so many other foreigners in China have discovered: that changing China happens only when and how China wants to be changed.

SILVIS, Ill. - (Results) Oklahoma Christian strengthened its hold on the lead after the Second Round of the 2011 NAIA Men's Golf National Championships at TPC Deere Run. The Eagles couldn't match their sizzling opening round 3-under-par 281, but settled for a 9-over-par 293 to increase their lead to 11 shots with a two-day total of 574.
With weather again playing a major role as the Second Round was played over two days. The entire 156-player field got through eight or nine holes Wednesday before rains forced a stoppage in play. The teams returned to the course Thursday morning to complete the round.
The Third Round of play began with a shotgun start Thursday at 1 p.m. CDT. After the Third Round, the field will be cut to the top-17 teams and 40 individuals, including ties, prior to Friday's Final Round.

LOWVILLE A pet in the town of Lowville recently came in contact with a rabid skunk, the second reported rabies case in Lewis County this year.
The Lewis County Public Health Agency was notified Tuesday by the state Department of Healths Wadsworth Laboratory that the skunk had tested positive for the disease.
While there was no human contact, the rabid animal had direct contact with a pet, according to an agency release.
Because the pet had not been vaccinated against rabies, the owner was faced with the difficult decision to euthanize it, the release states.
The alternative would be six months of strict quarantine, with very limited human contact, said Carol A. Paluck, Lewis County Public Health director.
It is very important for people and their pets to avoid direct contact with wild animals, particularly if the animals are behaving abnormally, the Public Health release states. Keep pets and people away from any wild animals, and be sure companion animals are up to date with their rabies vaccinations. Livestock owners should consider rabies vaccinations for their cattle and horses. It is not unusual for a fox, raccoon or skunk to find its way into a livestock barn.
A raccoon in the town of West Turin in early February also tested positive for rabies.
Any wild animal that has contact with people or pets should be captured, if it may be done without direct contact, and local public health officials should be notified.
The county agency, in conjunction with Countryside Veterinary Clinic, starting in May will again offer a series of rabies vaccination clinics, Mrs. Paluck said.
This year, officials plan to offer online scheduling of appointments for the clinics to help avoid long lines and reduce interaction between animals at the various sites throughout the county, she said.
For more information on rabies, call the Lewis County Public Health Agency at 376-5453.

Apimondia is like the Olympics only on a smaller scale. In the evening we were invited to a banquet given by the Chinese delegation. The purpose of this affair was to convince the other delegates, who represent all the other member countries, to vote for China to host the 2015 Apimondia Conference. They went all out. They had buses to take us to the Sheraton Hotel and convention center. Our hosts were all dressed in beautiful traditional Chinese outfits. We enjoyed watching a group of dragon dancers after a number of officials from China gave speeches as to why China would be the best choice. After a very nice buffet dinner with dessert, we returned to our little apartment by taxi. The other country vying for the honor of hosting the 2015 conference is South Korea. In 2013 it will be in Kiev, Ukraine. Earlier, over lunch we talked about the feasibility of hosting this conference in the U.S. in 2019. The discussions involve issues such as who would organize it and where would be a good location. None of us volunteered, and suggestions such as Orlando, Houston, New Orleans and Las Vegas were mentioned.
I attended a very good talk by Dr. Dennis Van Engelsdorp on "Colony Mortality and Morbidity in Migratory Beekeeping Operations in the Eastern United States".
Here is his abstract: "Using standard epidemiological methods, this study set out to quantify the risk associated with exposure to easily diagnosed risk factors on colony mortality and morbidity in three migratory beekeeping operations. Fifty-six percent of all colonies monitored during the 10-month period died. The relative risk (RR) that a colony would die over the short term (~50 days) was appreciably increased in colonies diagnosed with a "queen event" (evidence of queen replacement or failure; RR=3.1) and with Idiopathic Brood Disease Syndrome (IBDS, the brood condition associated with parasitic mite syndrome; RR=3.2) We also found that several risk factors, were differentially expressed in different beekeeping operations, and that a diagnosis of several risk factors increased the risk that colonies would be re-diagnosed with the same or another risk factor during the next inspection. Together these results confirm the growing consensus that the causes of colony mortality are complex and interrelated." I plan to talk about this further when I return at a future advance beekeepers class.
That's all for now – off to more presentations.

I was a concern about how this would fit. I have been eyeing the Denali's for years now and finally cave in this past weekend. As some clothing you may buy online, you run the risk of it not fitting correctly to your body shape. Well, I'm shaped like a marshmellow, so I was very surprised how well this fit me. Its a bit tight around the hip area, but no worries there. A few crunches with the "Thigh Master" and I'll be good. This jacket is extermely warm, as its peaking fall season here in New England, and this jacket keeps me toasty. The lead time and 2 day shipping is AMAZING! Thank you. No I just sit and wait for my leggings and Ugg boots to arrive.
Great Price

This North Face is everything you would want in a jacket and more. I was pleasantly surprised by how warm the jacket was. I also like how the hoodie can provide additional warmth. I am 5'2" about 115 lbs with a more athletic build and the small fits well. Its slightly big but I know if I put extra clothes underneath it would fit good, plus jackets are supposed to be on the looser side. Though I have yet to wear it in very cold weather, I wore it in 50-degree weather and I was very warm. Overall great buy from Backcountry.com!

I recently ordered the TNF Hooded Jacket in Black for my 14 year old granddaughter. She absolutely loves it and can't wait for the weather to turn cold so she can wear it. She has the Denalie without the hood and it's great but she wanted this one for those cold mornings standing at the bus stop.
You really can't beat the quality of this jacket, they wear like iron and always look good. Thank you for the great price!!!
Love it!

I'm a little obsessed, I have two hooded and one non. I've had my first one for almost 3 years, still looks great. Very warm, comfy, and adorable. I've never put it in the dryer...just line dry and that seems to keep the fleece looking good. Minor shedding. I live in Duluth, MN so it gets very cold here, layer these up and it can be worn comfortably as a jacket up until it hits the single digits. Not water or wind proof, hence the need to layer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, you won't be disappointed.
My daughter loves this jacket.

I wore it today in the most miserable rainy Georgia winter day and I was toasty warm. My two dogs want a North Face jacket too. I got my jacket so fast I thought they dropped it from a passing plane since I live in the country. I don't think I have ever experienced this level of service during the holiday season.

I have many North Face jackets in my closet and have been wanting this denali with a hood for a very long time. I finally decided to pay the money but I am disappointed. Love the color and hood and everything, but HATE how it sheds all over everything! If I could return it I would, but I already threw away the tags and receipt it came with.
Is the R Teaberry Pink the same as the...
Is the R Teaberry Pink the same as the example pictures of the reddish color jacket? It is the thrid picture from the beginning.
Hey Chelsie,
It is the same jacket, but the Teaberry Pink color is last year's model (the one listed as "Outlet"). The other jackets are the newer models in different colorways. Same jacket, different year.
Thanks! So same both are the same color, just a different style?
Backcountry Video, Employee
The North Face Denali Hooded Fleece
Great Jacket! Highly satisfied!
It's very cold where I live and this jacket keeps me warm! My second time buying from Backcountry, and like the first time, excellent customer service and super quick shipping!
I'm 5'4'' and normally fit size 10/12 tops, Juniors' XL, and women's Small.
I ordered a Small and it is a perfect fit for me. It's a little roomy, but that is what I expected since this isn't a truely fitted style. An extra small would be way too small around the bust.

Microsoft Kin Development Stopped
Microsoft Stops Work on Kin to Focus on Windows Phone
Like us on Facebook
The team working on the Kin has been folded into the Windows Mobile team. Additionally, the Kin's planned release in Europe has been canceled. Since the Kin does not have the capability to run apps, it's limited by the functionality that comes built into the phone; perhaps this was one of the factors in Microsoft's decision to halt further development.

After a delay lasting two years, construction began last month on a $2-billion chemical plant in Zhangzhou, in China's Fujian Province. The plant site is on the Gulei peninsula, 50 miles from Zhangzhou, a city with 4 million people. Officials in neighboring Xiamen, the original site, cancelled the project in 2007 following protests over potential pollution and health problems. Central-government agencies reassessed the project, and in January the Ministry of Environmental Protection approved an environmental impact review. The plant owner is Tenglong Aromatic PX Co. Ltd., whose parent company is the Xianglu Group, from Taiwan. The plant will produce paraxylene (PX), a basic raw material for producing polyester fibers and films. It is scheduled for completion in early 2011. Nearby, construction began simultaneously on a separate plant, which will use the PX to produce purified terephthalic acid, or PTA, which is used in polyester coatings and resins. The PTA plant will cost $715 million.

Crescent Communities HQ Goes LEED Silver ; Cassidy Turley Brokers Office Lease and M-U Sale
By Eliza Theiss, Associate Editor
Crescent Communities, a diversified real estate investment, development and operating company focused on creating sustainable communities has announced the LEED Silver certification for its renovated corporate headquarters in Charlotte. The certification was awarded for the implementation of water and energy efficiency, use of recycled content and materials, indoor environment quality, including focus on natural daylight and views with floor-to-ceiling windows. The new corporate headquarters also includes an Innovations Lab, which encourages collaboration among employees.
Our new space reflects our commitment to innovation and place making, and inherent in that practice is environmental responsibility," says Crescent CEO Todd Mansfield when accepting the USGBC plaque in a presentation ceremony at Crescent's Charlotte office.
In other office news, leading commercial real estate services provider Cassidy Turley announced that Andritz Hydro Corp. renewed its 17,135-square-foot lease in University Research Park. Andritz Hydro, a global supplier of electro-mechanical systems and services for hydropower plants and a major player in the global hydraulic power generation market occupies more than half of the fifth floor of the 151,916-square-foot Class A Four Resource Square office building. While the lender was represented in-house, Cassidy Turley represented landlord RAIT Financial Trust, an internally managed real estate investment trust.
Cassidy Turley also announced the sale of Edison Square, a 36,433 square foot mixed-use retail and office development in Concord, NC. TCA Edison, LLC, an ownership group lead by Trinity Capital Advisors and represented by Cassidy Turley in the transaction, sold Edison Square to Florida-based HCC-Edison Square, LLC for $8.65 million.
Located on 9.1 acres at Harris Road and Edison Square Drive NW, the 94 percent-leased asset consists of three buildings and additional land for further office and retail development.

The Magic Finger - Giveaway!
If you have ever read the book The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl you are familiar with the story. If not, here is a brief logline of the story. The Gregg family loves hunting, but their eight-year-old neighbor can't stand it. After countless pleas for them to stop are ignored, she has no other choice -- she has to put her magic finger on them. Now the Greggs are a family of birds, and like it or not, they're going to find out how it feels to be on the other end of the gun.
Roald Dahl is one of my biggest writing influences and I love his books. I simply want to celebrate a great writer and show my appreciation to all amazing Asylum readers and followers. A thank you for sticking in there with me.
Okay, let's get down to the rules. 1) Follow this blog (if not already following). 2) Tweet about it (if you tweet) or you can shout it out loud if you want. 3) AND the most important of all - comment on what you would do if you had a magic finger.
This contest is limited to the US residents. Deadline is April 12th, 2011, Midnight. The winner will be picked at random by my trusty robot assistant and announced end of next week.
9 comments:
WHAT?! Give me that robot assistant. And a magic finger. LOVE this contest. Love Roald Dahl. I'm tweeting NOW. But not entering because I wouldn't want to put you in that awkward situation... :)ReplyDelete
Great contest idea. I love Roald Dahl too -- never read The Magic Finger though.ReplyDelete
I'm already a follower. I'm tweeting this at @onbeyondwords
If I had a magic finger, I'd create a trusty robot assistant for myself.
Well naturally, I would touch every single member of Write Club so that we'd all sell our books at auction and make gazillions of dollars.ReplyDelete
PS - I heard Dahl and he's a huge influence for me too.
Megan, that is a great use of a magic finger! Hilary, I look forward to the day we take baths in the gazillions!ReplyDelete
Not a US resident! But I love Roald Dahl and will spread the word about your contest. :)ReplyDelete
Thank you, Kinderscares!! As always, you rock.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Megan and Hilary for joining the fun. I'll send out your books soon!ReplyDelete
If I had a magic finger it would shoot lasers, so I can battle my arch nemisis with ease. Or possibly shoot chocolate out the tip because I always need a steady supply :)ReplyDelete
Must be an enjoyable read The Magic Finger by Roald Dahl. loved the way you wrote it. I find your review very genuine and orignal, this book is going in by "to read" list.ReplyDelete

I bought these heels to wear for work at my law firm, and I thought they were perfect. The heel is not too high, not too low, and they are super comfortable. This perception changed the first day I wore them! I know I am not the easiest person on shoes, but at the end of the day it looked like my dog had gnawed on the heels because the leather was scraped up the sides. I had them repaired by a cobbler, and it happened again the next time I wore them. Now I have worn the heel down to the metal core just by wearing them this summer. If you are looking for an every day heel, do NOT buy these. They are not meant to be worn in downtown-like settings with uneven walkways and cracks that are treacherous to maintaining heels. Buy something more durable.

Washington County Fiscal Court met Monday morning for their regularly scheduled meeting.
The court, which had an executive session at the end of the meeting, heard from various county departments and went over the first reading of the 2015-16 budget.
Magistrate Hal Goode was not present at the court meeting as he was speaking at an economic development summit in Pikeville.
The annual survey of tourism spending in Kentucky shows an exceptional increase in Washington County in 2014. All nine of the state's tourism regions registered gains for 2014 compared with 2013.
The annual Bible-reading marathon was held in Springfield this past week, starting on Sunday, May 3 and continuing until the National Day of Prayer last Thursday.
After volunteers read passages of scripture for more than three days, several members of the community gathered at the 1816 Courthouse building on Thursday at noon for the closing ceremony.
The event, as it has in years past, concluded with representatives sharing prayers for groups that included the military, media, government and many others.
The Lincoln Homestead Master Gardener Association is hosting an event on Thursday that goes beyond just the world of gardening and into what it means to be a mentor to young people.
Lyda Parker Moore, president of Kentucky Home Master Gardners (Bardstown chapter), will be on hand to deliver the presentation that she shared at the International Master Gardeners Convention in South Korea last September. Master Gardener Jeanette Hase-Spalding said the talk focuses on mentorship.
Thefts were reported at Mordecai's on Main and Dominic's Closet in Springfield on Monday, May 4, though Springfield Police have indicated that the incidents are unrelated.
Mordecai's owner Keith Schlosser reported a break-in at the restaurant to authorities last Monday morning after finding $3,068.53 missing from the register from the previous night.
According to the incident report, Schlosser informed authorities that the business closed on May 3 around 2 p.m., with all employees leaving by 4 p.m.
Wine, beer, food, music and most importantly, coming together to raise money for women is what's in store for this Saturday's Springfield Business and Professional Women's Club Wine & Stein Gala and everyone (21+) is invited.
You're already familiar with the Central Kentucky Community Theatre Youth Actors, but now, so is the rest of the state.
Of the more than 1,700 applications submitted for the Kentucky Governor's School for the Arts (GSA) program, only a select few students are chosen each year as participants or as alternates. After sending one person per summer on the trip in recent years, CKCT is proud to boast five representatives in 2015.

Dr. James A. Taki's Ratings
I have been a patient of Dr Taki's for several years now and I truly feel like he cares about me as a person. He listens and spends as much time that is needed with me. He is a very kind man. i have never had a problem getting in for an appointment in a timely manner.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2049213].votes_count ]]
I've seen Dr. Taki for about one year now. I really like him and his staff, but have had some trouble with getting prescriptions filled in a timely manner, which I found frustrating, but was only an issue because I was in and out of town (and may have been the reason that it was difficult to have performed as quickly as I would have liked). Overall, very satisfied with Dr. Taki and would recommend him to anyone, especially if you are looking for a Doc who has an interest in working with you on sports related injuries and their prevention. I'm especially pleased with how open he is to a cost based analysis of the benefits of a perticular course of treatment or medication.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2049212].votes_count ]]
I gave this rating because he is very friendly, and knowledgeable, gives details answers and explanations to your questions. Looks like he really cares about you as a patient. Most importantly he gave me a proper diagnose and help me get better. Not like some other doctors who just send you off home without any prescription tell you to drink vitamin C and eat chicken soup and tell you that there is nothing they can do when you are really sick.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2049211].votes_count ]]
Always has time to listen to all your ails. He makes sure that he knows you, your lifestyle, and your normal habits so he knows if you are not feeling up to par by just asking what you've been up to. He never makes you feel rushed and always has time for all your problems, not just the one you made the appointment for. He always has the most up to date knowlege in the field and is always willing to share the info to help you. He cares...

I have two sons ages 19 and 14. I am a newly wed again for the 3rd time. Although I am not perfect, I have been a Christian all my life and I have learned to live through the neverending grace of Jesus. I am looking for Christian friends. Seeing the videos on God Tube has helped me see that being a Christian does not have to be boring.

Welcome to Shrewsbury Township
Shrewsbury Township, was settled in 1739 and Incorporated in 1742, while part of Lancaster County. Shrewsbury Township was among the original 13 Townships that made up York County and one of the first municipalities to be established west of the Susquehanna River.
At the time the Townships were formed Shrewsbury included the present Townships of Springfield, Hopewell, East Hopewell and North Hopewell.
The first settlers in the area were mostly English and Scottish-Irish; other portions of the area were settled under Maryland land titles.
When the township was established, the majority of the citizens were English as reflected by the English name of Shrewsbury. The Germans began to locate in the township shortly after its formation, and many of the former English settlers sold their lands. Conflicting feelings arose between the border settlers in Pennsylvania and Maryland as a result of the aforementioned land titles, and the dispute was not resolved until 1767 through the establishment of the Mason-Dixon Line.
Location: Shrewsbury Township comprises a total area of 29.20 sq. miles with 77.57 miles of township roads and 39.07 miles of state roads within its borders.
The boroughs of Shrewsbury, Railroad, New Freedom and Glen Rock are incorporated within, but have their own governments.

Pandora's story
Good bye are the hardest words anyone can ever say. Rest in Peace my baby boy. You were the best dog I could have ever asked for. Not one tiny bit of meanness in you. If I had to describe love. It was you. Perfect and so loving all the time. Thank you for the 12 years of love and joy. We will miss you so much. I pray you are off playing happily with Midnight, Ginger and Yuki and with my dad.
Happily married for 32 years.
2 adult children.
Best Quote ever.
As George Carlin said: 'think of how stupid the average person is. Then realize that half of the people is even stupider than that*
Traveled a bit.
New Motto. BE FABULOUS EVERY DAY!
Life motto. You don't bug me and I won't bug you. :D
We aren't born by our own choice and with the exception of suicide, we don't die by choice; however, how we live our life, and who we love, and how we love, is by choice.
Boots I don't regret choosing to love you, nor how I loved you. I still miss you.

Advanced Task Killer Pro
by: ReChild | 5.6K
by: ReChild | 5.6K
Expert's review
by Emmanuel Lund, Appszoom
Some task killers do that automatically but it often provokes the opposite effect: since the system needs some apps open to work properly if you use that automatic task killers, the system will need to open them again and again, decreasing by that way the battery life.
Advanced Task Killers will help you out to kill – manually – those applications that you don't need open. Of course there is "automatic apps kill mode" but it is configurable to avoid that performance. Nonetheless, the main strength of ATK is its manual feature. You may select those apps that you want to kill just by ticking on the list of active apps and then press the button "Kill selected apps". That easy. In the ATK settings you may select the "Auto Start" to open automatically ATK when you restart your phone. Moreover, you may choose to show or to hide an ATK icon on notification bar, set the action for selecting apps in the list (select/unselected, kill, ignore, etc.),and for long press. You may create and modify "Ignore Lists" including those apps that you don't want to kill ever. Finally, you will be able to set the Auto Kill level (that's it the automatic ATK mode) or its Security Level.
This is the paid version of ATK with no ads ($4.99). There's also a free trial version with ads, but the same features.
Advanced Task Killer is developed by ReChild who are the developers of other Android task manager in the Market.
ATK is a really useful tool, a must if you are one of those user who want to save battery-life by killing processes easily. Some users consider that this kind of apps are useless since the Android OS manages efficiently its resources. It's up to you, but what it is a common place it is that ATK does it fast and easy.

I enjoy being active, working out and staying moderately healthy.
I like going to the occasional concert, rave or music festival, but relaxing over the weekend can be nice to keep a decent health/life balance. Everything in moderation, even moderation so letting loose and having a totally wild night with friends until 4 in the morning every so often can be pretty exhilarating.
I like traveling so I attempt to visit another country or state at least once a year.

If you were ever a fan of the Age of Empires series, you probably recognize Ensemble as the talent behind it. They were brought in for the development of Halo Wars, which still has a lot of development ahead of it. Microsoft has already let much of the Ensemble staff go, but the core development team will remain to finish the job.
This is not an uncommon sight. Large publishers like EA and Microsoft have run down or close numerous game studios after acquiring them. The memo detailing their reasons behind shutting Ensemble down was apparently leaked, but the gist of it was that Microsoft isn't planning on leaving the gaming market. As a somewhat humorous side note, Ensemble still has job postings listed online.

Slave cabin in SC to be restored
Curators at the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture are working with restoration experts to dismantle an antebellum slave cabin on Point of Pines Plantation in Edisto Island, S.C. The cabin was donated to the museum last month by the Edisto Island Historical Society. The two-room cabin, which measures 16 by 20 feet, is believed to be in its original location and will become part of the "Slavery and Freedom" exhibition in Washington when the museum opens its doors in 2015."Slavery is one of the last great unmentionables in public discourse," said Lonnie Bunch, director of the museum. "The cabin allows us to humanize slavery, to personalize the life of the enslaved, and frame this story as one that has shaped us all. [Slavery] is not just an African American story."The museum had been searching for a slave cabin to display for its permanent collection. The cabin will be displayed prominently in the museum, visible from three levels. Although the cabin will be reconstructed on-site, visitors will not be able to enter or touch the cabin because of its fragility....

(FloridaToday.com) - A 19-story Atlas V rocket is scheduled to roll to its pad today in preparation for a Thursday morning blastoff from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station — United Launch Alliance's second countdown in six days.
Liftoff from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station with a classified intelligence satellite is planned at 9:05 a.m. The launch period extends to 10:15 a.m.
Forecasters expect nice weather, with an 80 percent chance of favorable conditions Thursday and again Friday, if the mission slips a day.
Managers on Monday reviewed their readiness for the countdown and concluded with a "go" to roll the rocket from its vertical processing tower a quarter-mile to the pad at Launch Complex 41.
The Atlas V is flying in a "401" configuration with a four-meter diameter payload fairing, no solid rocket motors and a single Centaur engine powering the upper stage.
The rocket's Russian-made RD-180 main engine has been the subject of controversy of late. Rival SpaceX claimed its use violates sanctions imposed on Russia for its annexation of Crimea — U.S. officials say it doesn't — and Russian has threatened to cut off its supply.
The national security launch would be ULA's fourth this year by an Atlas V, including the April 10 launch of another NRO satellite from the Cape, and sixth overall in 2014.

The peritoneum, a thin, clear membrane, normally covers all the abdominal organs and the inside walls of the abdomen.What causes peritonitis?Most often, peritonitis is caused by the introduction of an infection from a perforation of the bowel such as a ruptured appendix or diverticulum. Other sources include perforations of the stomach, intestine, gallbladder, or appendix. Pelvic inflammatory disease in women is also a common cause of peritonitis. Peritonitis can also develop after surgery if bacteria enters into the abdomen during an operation.What are symptoms of peritonitis?The following are the most common symptoms of peritonitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:Severe abdominal pain, aggravated by any motionNausea and vomitingFeverAbdominal tenderness or distentionFluid in the abdomenUnable to have a bowel movement or pass gasLow urine outputThirstThe symptoms of peritonitis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.How is peritonitis diagnosed?Quick diagnosis of peritonitis is vital as complications can occur quickly. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination (which may show abdominal tension and tenderness), diagnostic tests for peritonitis may include the following:X-rays. A diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.Laboratory tests.

Essentially, I stated that the latest generation of gun owners is a much more diverse crowd and that those of us in the older, or more traditional, gun culture should be as welcoming as possible.
