Shanghai beach babes bust bikini barrier
Let's face it -- most readers won't care about what we write in this post.
For those who actually do, congratulations, because you're about to learn how you can participate in one of the sexiest events in Shanghai this summer.
After nearly four months of national draft, the 2011 Beach Honey competition -- organized by Shanghai's Dino Beach water park -- is coming to a head this month, with semifinals scheduled on August 11 and August 16, and the finals on August 20 and 21.
Who better to explain the rigors of bikini competition than champion beach honeys from last year's competition?
Each of the five below will appear as guest stars during this year's Beach Honey finals. Assuming that you'll be too shy to chat them up in person, we've kindly taken it upon ourselves to break the ice with questions about parental approval and the roles of beauty and plastic surgery in evolving China.

Zhou Weijia (周维佳)
Rank: Top 16 and runner-up in the "cutest babe" category
Age: 20
From: Shanghai
Occupation: Student at USST
CNNGo: Why did you enter the competition?
Zhou Weijia: I had just graduated from high school and finished my university entrance examination back then. That was a really stressful period of time for me, so I entered this competition to relax myself.
CNNGo: Did your parents oppose your wearing bikini in public?
Zhou: No, my parents are very open-minded. They support what I like.
CNNGo: Critique your own figure.
Zhou: My most satisfactory part is my waist, it is really small. Also, I have a small bone structure. It makes me look skinny. But I think my thighs are too fat, and my leg-and-torso ratio is too low.
All in all, I think my figure is still less than satisfactory. I would also like my skin to be as white as possible.
CNNGo: The most difficult part of the competition?
Zhou: Losing weight. I was skinny at school, but when I came to this competition, I realized everyone was really skinny.
I had to cut down my meals to twice a day. I remember my thinnest time during the competition, I was only 41 kilos.
CNNGo: Do you approve of plastic surgery to enhance beauty?
Zhou: I have no problem with minor plastic surgeries on my face, but not the body.
Everyone has a right to pursue beauty. I'm fine with my friends having plastic surgeries, also. It's really normal. I even suggest to my friends to consider plastic surgeries (when I think they need to have them).
CNNGo: What's your standard for your future husband?
Zhou: Realistically, I would want him to have a car and a house at best, and I like athletic and happy boys, those tall and skinny ones.
CNNGo: Do you care about news?
Zhou: Yes. I read news online and through weibo. Recently, I have been following the high-speed rail accident.
But I still dare to take the high-speed trains. One cannot avoid taking it because of one single accident.
CNNGo: What does beauty mean to you?
Zhou: Beauty is only a very small part of my life. Being happy is the most important thing. That's what life is about.

Zhuang Jingjing (庄京京)
Rank: Winner of the "spiciest babe" award
Age: 22
From: Hunan
Occupation: Student at Guangdong Ocean University
CNNGo: What made you the spiciest?
Zhuang Jingjing: It's probably because I'm not typically girly. I'm a tomboy and I'm really careless in life. Also, I posed in ways the others didn't dare to.
When I was on the stage, I was too nervous to think of anything. But you could just tell from the audience reaction. Every time when I showed up, the whole audience just went wild. They were really cheering.
CNNGo: The most difficult part of the competition?
Zhuang: Being cute. We had a section in every contest called "Kawaii Fashion," which required girls to pose in the cutest ways possible. I couldn't do it. It was my weakest section. I am a cool girl.
CNNGo: How did your parents feel about you wearing bikini in public?
Zhuang: My parents were strongly against me attending the Beach Honey competition at the beginning. They thought wearing bikinis is only for Western people, and it is nothing different from walking on the street in underwear.
My close friends helped me a lot to convince my parents that this was not as much of a bad thing as they thought. Later on, they just agreed by default.
CNNGo: Critique your own figure.
Zhuang: Overall, it is just OK, but I don't like my face and my waist, and I never consider myself beautiful.
CNNGo: Are you OK with plastic surgery?
Zhuang: No, and my family would be firmly against it, too. I got my body from my parents, and it is something I should cherish.
However, I'm not against people pursuing beauty in natural ways.
CNNGo: As the "spiciest girl," you must have some real passionate fans.
Zhuang: Last year during the competition, I had a fan who really paid attention to me, and followed me to every contest and even the whole team when the others and I left Dino Beach.
I remember one time, when I was sitting in the shuttle bus back to our hotel, I saw that fan chasing our bus and shouting: "Zhuang Jingjing, please talk with me."
Of course, I didn't get off and talk to him. We were not allowed to do that.
CNNGo: What does beauty mean to you?
Zhuang: I don't know. I have never thought about that before.
CNNGo: Do you care about news?
Zhuang: Yes, I do, closely actually.
I'm very interested to dig up and follow the truth behind the news in China.
Lately, I have been paying attention to the high-speed rail accident, and I did some profound thinking. It is really sad that the train driver was the one to blame for driving when he was tired.
People just need to enjoy themselves and do what they wish to do as much as they can, as they can't really predict disasters now that even the advanced high-speed rail had a major disaster.

Cheng Lang (成琅)
Rank: The "sunniest babe" and sixth in overall ranking
Age: 22
From: Jiangsu
Occupation: Yoga instructor
CNNGo: Does your job make it easier to model bikinis on stage?
Cheng Lang: Yes, a little bit. I teach students everyday wearing very tight yoga clothes, and yoga helps shape my body better.
CNNGo: How did you become a yoga teacher?
Cheng: I took some dance classes during childhood, so when I was practicing yoga in the gym, I found my body far more flexible than the others'. I could do many postures that others couldn't. So I thought,"Why not be a yoga teacher?"
CNNGo: What is the most difficult yoga posture for you?
Cheng: Headstand.
CNNGo: Critique your own figure.
Cheng: I don't like my legs. I hope to stretch them to be longer. But I like my eyes the most. Although I don't have a perfect body, eyes can usually reflect one's heart.
CNNGo: The most difficult part of the competition?
Cheng: I didn't meet any real difficulties during the competition, but it was the stress that was hard to cope with, especially when you went further into the competition.
Also, our training camp was pretty tough -- they trained us to dance and catwalk. I had never received any training like that and the camp was totally blocked from the outside world.
CNNGo: Did your parents oppose your wearing a bikini in public?
Cheng: No, they were really supportive. My mother was very open-minded.
CNNGo: The best pickup line you've heard so far?
Cheng: I have never been picked up before by strangers. In daily life, I wear bikinis when I go swimming. Guys will come close and check up on me, but they never say anything. I think it is because they are shy.
CNNGo: Do you care about news?
Cheng: Yes, with the cell phone, it is really easy to follow the daily news. I watch CCTV a lot. I pay a lot of attention to China's domestic affairs.
CNNGo: How about international news?
Cheng: I only follow protests and demonstrations abroad.

Dong Fangqi (董方启)
Rank: The "most popular babe" voted by netizens, winner of the "most beautiful legs" award and fifth in overall ranking
Age: 22
From: Shanghai
Occupation: Student at SSPU
CNNGo: Why do you think you were so popular online?
Dong Fangqi: Maybe because I'm a student, and I have a lot of schoolmates, so I have a bigger online influence. Even strangers at school voted for me.
CNNGo: The most unforgettable part of the competition?
Dong: In the last round of the "most beautiful legs" awards, my two competitors were really tall, one 170 centimeters and the other 174 centimeters, and I am only 164 centimeters. The emcee asked if I was confident. I said no because I was half a head shorter than them. Then the emcee told me: "We are selecting the most beautiful legs, not a giraffe."
CNNGo: Are you OK with plastic surgery?
Dong: I can accept it, but my parents won't let me. I agree with minor surgeries to help people improve natural defects. But if someone does a dramatic plastic surgery just to be famous, it won't help in the long run.
CNNGo: What's the best way for a stranger to get to know you?
Dong: Don't judge me by my appearance. Get to know me through my life.
CNNGo: The funniest pickup line you've heard?
Dong: When the other girls and I were in Malaysia doing a video for Beach Honey, some foreign tourists came up and asked for a group photo with us. They tried to make friends with me and asked: "Can I have your Facebook?" I said: "No, we cannot use it in China."
"Then can I have your Twitter account?" They went on. "No, we cannot use it in China," I answered. They left afterward.
CNNGo: Was it difficult getting used to wearing a bikini?
Dong: I remember I spent as long as I could in the dressing room when I tried on a bikini for the first time. Some of the other girls were having trouble wearing their bikinis properly. One common mistake was that they wore the bikinis upside down.
CNNGo: Do you care about news?
Dong: Yes, especially the sports news. I love watching F1. The most exciting news for me in July was Alonso's victory [at Silverstone].
CNNGo: Is doing charity an important part of being a beauty queen?
Dong: I think it's important for people to do more volunteer and charity works in their spare time. For me, I have also signed up for the NGO website.
CNNGo: Which NGO?
Dong: There is only one in China. NGO is a government-founded charity organization, and it does a lot of charity projects. That's the one I joined.

Yang Jin (杨谨)
Rank: Fourth in overall ranking
Age: 21
From: Sichuan
Occupation: Student at SWUST
CNNGo: Are you satisfied with your performance in last year's competition?
Yang Jin: No, I'm not satisfied. I think I should have been the number one.
CNNGo: What did you think of yourself when you put on a bikini for the first time?
Yang: I felt really weird, especially the first time when I saw myself in the mirror. Wearing a bikini is culturally unacceptable in China, and [once you do that,] people will look at you in a creepy way.
I'm used to wearing a bikini now. It's really sexy at the back, with only one string across. I wouldn't want to switch back to a normal swimsuit.
CNNGo: Did your parents oppose your wearing a bikini in public?
Yang: My mom was fine with it, but my dad didn't feel comfortable in the beginning. I did some bikini shots for a magazine, and my dad didn't even read that page in the magazine. He jumped over it immediately. I guess he didn't want his daughter to be checked out by the readers in a sexual way.
But now he is fine with it, because he realized that Beach Honey is a healthy organization. It doesn't require the applicants to have big breasts. It stresses positive lifestyle.
CNNGo: Sichuan is far more conservative than Shanghai. Do you really wear a bikini when you swim?
Yang: Yes, the last time I went back to my hometown, I did. In my hometown, you never see people wearing bikinis in swimming pools.
That time, I couldn't find any swimsuits at home, so I wore my bikini. When I took off my overcoat, all the guys in the swimming pool gathered and checked me out.
I felt everyone was looking at me. Some went past me and yelled or whistled. If I were a guy, I would also do that because girls just don't wear bikinis in Deyang.
CNNGo: What does beauty mean to you?
Yang: My beauty is my capital. In today's society, people always go for the prettier one if two girls are applying for the same thing. You can only proceed once you have got your "capital."
CNNGo: You are from Deyang, the Sichuan earthquake epicenter. Tell us something about the quake?
Yang: My hometown was the most-stricken spot in the earthquake. I was in my last year at high school. My family didn't have any casualties, but my friends' did. It was the most horrible experience I have ever had.
I asked my parents to take me to visit some of the collapsed buildings. One thing I can't forget was a mom, with her intestines fallen out, holding her kid till the last minute.
If I could, I would use my beauty to help them. I would rather not be wearing bikinis for the rest of my life, or I would be fat, as long as I could help some of them.

0.3 km from
Rp 513,158+
It is very clean and has a great location. People very nice and helpful. Good value for money! Could be a bit noisy hearing other people talking in other rooms, but otherwise in a quiet location
The price was fair enough. Location was OK but not the best for young people (better more south).
location can't complain for this money: 24 Euro/night...
Excellent location. Don`t work wifi in room.Very noisy.
it's situated only 2 min walk to the playa de las canteras (the best city beach in las palmas). quiet steer. quite far for walking from the old city center. anyway there is a conventient bus transport. helpful staff. the left my suitcase the whole day in their luggage room for free. small but very nice single room + individual bathroom with WC and hot shower a little overpriced for me. i payed 27eur per night for a single room. a friend of mine booked a single room in a similar hostel in las palmas for 18eur per night. no breakfast includes or breakfast room in the hostel
The street is very noise. Also the city is very festive.
plesant staff. value for money and the location was ideal as it met my needs
The best I liked when stayed at Hotel Blanca Paloma was the hotel staff. Really nice people, friendly and helpfuly.

Mailed in application on 10/10/12. CCW issued 10/12/12 (#134,XXX). Received in the mail on 10/16/12. Super fast turnaround time. Way to go Wisconsin! Still waiting for my UBG holster though. Gotta wear my cheap, pinchy IWB in the meantime. Oh well.
Mailed Tuesday, 10/16, received Saturday, 10/20.
My fiancé (when she took the course with my family) waited to be my wife, waited for her name change before applying but just got hers super quick. She was about 45,000 behind me at 136xxx
Co-worker and his Dad got theirs last Friday and Saturday 1366** and 13682* mailed same day. Received in 9 days.
2 day turnaround time? Jeez, I hate you guys.
Mailed my in Sept 19th and I should be getting it in the mail this week.
I am happy about the 136K range but our goals were 175K by election time. We need to get a our hunting buddies or family members to a class nearby.
Sent : 10/26
received 11/2
Just thought i'd share how im doing as a newly licensed Wisconsinite in case anybody was curious.
I love it! Been carrying every day for almost two weeks now and have become much more comfortable with it (currently laying on it in my bed). I don't think everybody is staring at me anymore either. Pleased to report I still have yet to run into a gun buster sign in the Madison area (besides my fire station). Gotten my hair cut, work everyday but it stays im the ramp, walmart a few times(ha) for ammo, and anywhere i go on a regular basis.
Anyway, i'll be around this thread checking in on progress!

Congratulations on your CC License, BuckysGlock! I've run into several gunbuster signs in the Milwaukee area, 2 in the same day - Mayfair Mall & Harbor Freight. Those are the only two I've come across in the past 6 months. My barber has a large sign on his door telling all that firearms are welcome & encouraged. Many Police Officers & Military people get their hair cut there. It's probably the only place in town where you can get a regulation military haircut.
Each day you carry will make it more comfortable. I just came back from a long walk in Havenwoods, the nearby State Forest & took my gun off but it still feels like it's there when I think about it. Not an uncomfortable feeling at all (unless I think it's there & it's not, lol)
Mailed on 11/5. Permit issued on 11/13 & I received it on 11/16! Permit is in the very low 140XXX range.
New to CD & ccw. Hadn't really handled firearms since my military days 20+ years ago but feels great to get back into it. Here's my ccw setup. Love, love, love that sig p238.
Congratulations and welcome to the "Club"..........

I took a week of vacation last week with the family in Colorado. We experienced a huge amount of unexpected snow as we spent our time between Beaver Creek and Vail after catching the Rockies season opener in Denver (thanks again Gabe, Christina, & Lisa). The best part of the week was getting to spend so much uninterrupted time with my daughter. Spending day after day together in such a beautiful place rather than just weekends and mornings/early evenings was truly special time.
I managed to more or less unplug although board meeting prep and a Blackberry did keep me in the loop as a spectator.
We did a bit of skiing and spent time at Bachelor Gulch, Beaver Creek, and ended the week in Vail. It was the last week of the ski season so lift tickets were discounted (a bit) and many restaurants were offering discounts on meals and wine. We enjoyed Larkspur and Terra Bistro in Vail.
One of the many memorable experiences was breakfast at the Little Diner in Vail. We were looking for a bacon and eggs breakfast and this little place is actually just a counter surrounding a cooking station. I don't remember their names, but the couple running it was great even though they had just opened, were short handed and very busy that day. Being an entrepreneur is not always just about venture capital and the new new thing. It is about the passion and courage to follow your dreams and take the plunge. An example for us all to follow. If you are in the Lionshead area for breakfast, check it out.
Another great experience was time at Garfinkel's in Vail. I am a huge fan of it for relaxing and a few beers. I have lots of great memories there with friends going back many years during both summer and winter visits. It was kind of bizarre to share a meal there with my family.

A woman tries to survive the invasion of Berlin by the Soviet troops during the last days of World War II.
A nameless woman keeps a diary as the Russians invade Berlin in the spring of 1945. She is in her early 30s, a patriotic journalist with international credentials; her husband, Gerd, a writer, is an officer at the Russian front. She speaks Russian and, for a day or two after the invasion, keeps herself safe, but then the rapes begin. She resolves to control her fate and invites the attentions of a Russian major, Andreij Rybkin. He becomes her protector of sorts subject to pressures from his own fellow soldiers and officers. Dramas play out in the block of flats where she lives. Is she an amoral traitor? She asks, "How do we go on living?" And what of Gerd and her diary?

Purification and Properties of Closteroviruslike Particles Associated with Grapevine Corky Bark Disease
Azzam, O.I., Namba, S., Boscia, D., Maixner, M., Hu, J.S., Golino, D., & Gonsalves, D. (1991) Purification and Properties of Closteroviruslike Particles Associated with Grapevine Corky Bark Disease. Phytopathology, 81(9), pp. 964-970.
Closteroviruslike particles, designated as grapevine corky bark-associated virus (GCBaV), were purified from mature leaves and stem phloem tissue of a corky bark-affected grapevine that had indexed negative for other grapevine viruses. Electron microscopy of purified preparations revealed the presence of flexuous rod-shaped viruslike particles that were about 13 nm in diameter and between 1,400 and 2,000 nm long, with a helical pitch of 3.4 nm. In purified preparations, the GCBaV particles degraded within a few weeks, unlike grapevine leafroll associated virus (GLRaV), which was stable for more than 1 mo under the same storage condition. The molecular weight of the coat protein of GCBaV was 24,000. A large dsRNA molecule (about 15.3 kbp), along with lower molecular weight species, was detected in tissues of corky bark-diseased grapevines, but not in healthy grapevines. Polyclonal antisera were produced in rabbits against purified or partially purified virus preparations. In direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), antisera to GCBaV did not react to the serologically distinct types (II and III) of the long closteroviruses associated with grapevine leafroll disease and grapevine virus A (GVA), and vice versa. This antiserum also reacted in ELISA with other corky bark-affected grapevines. Our data suggest that closteroviruslike particles, designated as GCBaV, may be the causal agent of corky bark disease. However, definitive proof is still lacking. The inclusion of GCBaV in the group of closteroviruses with citrus tristeza virus is proposed.

We've looked at arrays and some of the basic array operators in a
previous article (back in March 2000), so in this article we'll revisit
arrays from a slightly different angle -- when and how to use them.
Often I see cases where a list of data is assigned to an equal list of
scalar variables, as in the following hypothetical database-
reformatting task:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my ($id, $lname, $fname, $department,
$location, $shift) = split /:/;
print "$lname|$fname|$id|$shift|$department|$location\n";
Assigning each field to a named scalar can be beneficial when reusing
many of them variously throughout the rest of the block (self
documenting code); however, the above usage is trivial and unnecessary.
If we are merely reformatting the data, or perhaps storing it in a
larger data structure for later use, we do not need to create all of
these variables:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @fields = split /:/;
print join('|', @fields[1,2,0,5,3,4]),"\n";
In this case, we are just reformatting the data. Rather than specify
each field name in the new ordering, we need only re-join the fields in
their new order using an array slice.
Another good place to use an array is in building a hash. That's right,
we can easily use an array as a list of keys when building a hash by
using a hash-slice. Consider reading in the same type of data above but
this time we wish to build a hash using field names for keys:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my @fields = qw/id lname fname department location shift/;
my %data;
@data{@fields} = split /:/;
process(\%data); # do something with %data hash
# process subroutine definition ...
Besides being easy to follow, the above method allows you to eventually
process the data fields in the order they occur. You can loop through
the array of keys rather than using the keys() function (which does not
return keys in the order they were entered in the hash). An advantage
to be sure.
As a final array example, let

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that insulin helps play a protective role against the toxicity of bacterial infection1. This new angle on insulin function suggests that many people with insulin resistance may have elevated insulin due, at least in part, to fighting low-grade bacterial infections in their digestive tract or mouth. In other words, it may be bacterial infection and not just dietary problems that is causing people to become type 2 diabetic and develop the metabolic syndrome.
The actual study exposed healthy individuals to an injection of bacterial endotoxin (also known as LPS or lipopolysaccharide). This endotoxin is released from the cell membrane of gram-negative bacteria, inducing a large inflammatory response with consequent free radical damage. In large amounts it is why individuals are injured or can die from septic shock. The research was suggesting that doctors could use an infusion of insulin during septic shock to help treat this life-threatening condition – which appears to be true.
My interest in the story is that individuals in poor metabolic health are known to have higher-than-baseline circulating levels of bacterial endotoxin, reflecting ongoing digestive imbalance, gum infections, or some other type of low-grade chronic bacterial problem. This study suggests that an elevated insulin level may actually be helping a person combat the toxicity of a low-grade infection. Previously, it has been shown that LDL cholesterol also performs this role (one reason why LDL can be elevated).
I have reported in recent months the findings that friendly flora can improve metabolism and lower endotoxin. I reported yesterday that antibiotics are now proven to alter the digestive tract in a way that is conducive to excess endotoxin production. Collectively, this data paints the picture that the rampant overuse of antibiotics by the medical profession is one cause of the obesity epidemic and metabolic disease.
This information also opens the door for a possible solution for stubborn metabolic problems, i.e., improving dental health, digestive health, or any other type of low-grade bacterial infection.

MeGustaMusic said
Jaynesh saidThinking the same thing here…. Weird behavior
elysesimone saidJust checked your post history and all you are doing is replying to threads that are months old. Why?
Great Job! Very impressive.
Jaynesh & MeGustaMusic,
Isn't this exactly what you guys are doing, checking out older posts? I think these are some of the better ones and are often the most interesting.
I don't know if you had the time to check my other statistics out, but I also follow several authors, one of my favorites being webcornice.
I find it exasperating that because I choose to make comments on a forum (even though they are not derogatory or inflammatory in any way) I have people calling my behavior 'weird' or 'incorrect'.
11months too late but welcome!
Great Job! Very impressive.
Are we all having the same problem?
Oh wow, thanks! I thought I was the only one with this problem.
I seem to have the same 'newbie' questions, and thanks to you BiiBua now I know what to do!
This is interesting. I realize I'm learning a lot just by observing and reading your comments!
Mine in the next comment!
YaY me too!
Wahoo… looks like you guys having full on masti fun!

I've moved!
Friday, June 08, 2012 x 10:47 PM
Hi guys, i've moved!
Blogger has been giving me a lot of problems lately. From being unable to post pictures to ultimately being unable to post at all! I just spent 2 hours trying to post this. So I'm bundling up my 6 years worth of writing and as of today, Whentheworldcollides.Blogspot.com will be shifted to
I will miss my falling bread and sheep at the side of this blog and I've grown attached to this nonsensical URL that makes absolutely no sense (that 12 year old me came up with). But such are life's first-world problems. I'll probably lose like half my readers but I do hope you guys remember to re-link and whatnot. (:
So see y'all
Much love, always,
Monday, June 04, 2012 x 5:18 PM
Had both theory and practical exams for animal body systems today. Theory was pretty easy, finished with an hour and a half to spare (people started walking out after the first hour) and practical was. Well. Let's just say I poked about the open piggies and birdies and froggies and couldn't identify what I was poking. I hope my theory result will pull up my overall grade.
To all those having their exams or about to have their exams, all the bet and try not to freak out. It's only year 1. It'll only get harder(;
My eye is swollen due to lack of sleep but hope this entertains you for the few seconds it did me.

12Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
(Colossians 3:12-15 NLT)
I'm sorry for the hurtful things I've said.
Just because you've hurt me doesn't mean I'm allowed to abuse you too.
All the things I think about that I could never tell you every time you ask me what I'm thinking about and I tell you "Nothing, really, nothing." Part2

7 August 2011 2.45am
It's not fair.
What you do to me, and how you make me feel. Like I'm at the top of the world. You're cold coffee in the morning; the way the sun breaks through the clouds so you can see distinct rays. You're solitude and companionship, familiar warmth yet electric astoundment. And being with you is like falling backwards into the ocean, into the strange muted asylum of the underwater, but for the colours, low decibel emanations and transient current.
And you're my perfection; treasured more than my pride and feared more than the inevitable. You slay the cynic in me. It's not fair, everything's so perfect and you're so brilliant and you make me touch the clouds.
You've given me so much, taught me so much, and brought me to see the everyday miracles of stare gazing and dolphins in the river, to places I had never yet been, and because of that, you'll be taking so much from me, more than you'll ever give. Because when you leave, no one will be able to compare, and you're taking that away from me. It's paradoxical, I'm sorry I speak like that and I analyze so much. I leave when I get hurt, and you, you would never hurt me, you could never, and because of that, you will.
I have been reading old posts from last year. Mahatma Gandhi once said: "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
I guess I've run out of fuel. I don't feel very strong, currently. You know, I never used to be so grudging, so bitter. I never used to be cynical to such an extent. And I can't forgive you. I will always come back to it, never a day goes by that I don't think about what you've done. And no matter how far I run to put it behind me, it comes back and puts a knife through my gut. I will never be able to stop.
Because its not just about having done a bad thing. But because you've taken who I was away from me and replaced it with what I am today, and I hate what I currently am. Because I know full well that I could've gone my whole life without having done what you did or having that be done to me.
And you know what kills me the most? That I'd never be able to write like that, about you, again. You loved this piece that I wrote, but you couldn't see how much I meant it. I genuinely believed you would never hurt me. I believed with all my heart, all the things I wrote about. And you put a knife through my words. And now they mock me. "How naive you were." I fear I'll never feel the way I did last year again, with you. I'm worried if I stay with you, I'll never feel that again, ever. We'll never be those people in the pictures on my wall again. We'll never be as close or as connected or as loving. Sometimes I don't know why we're still together. I could spare you the abuse. I could spare myself the abuse. You say it's because of love. But that's the thing. It's the kind of love that forces me to stick around. But it isn't love that's unconditional, or doubtless or trusting. It's a fearful love. Every time I'm away, I wonder which girl you're currently doing. I love you, but I don't believe you did, too, and I don't think I could ever love you like I did, again. I don't know if I'll ever again be able to let any guy in the way I did. I think I'm losing my mind: I feel so alone. I'm going home after the exams. I wonder if it'd be easier if never had to come back. Sometimes it feels like there's nothing for me in this town anymore.

I know we're all thinking "Is he naked?". And no, he isn't. Can we take a moment to not debate over Guillaume Cote's sexuality, but rather once again be reminded of the beauty the human form can take on. And be reminded that the fruits of perfection come from hard work and discipline; a love for your talent, and most importantly, an undying passion to strive. I watched this video thrice or so. I don't have a single bone in me that can, or want to dance, but I just really like watching people do it. I think I'd like to let my kid try gymnastics in future, or ballet- even though I've never had any personal interest in the 'girly things'. I think I'd like to expose my child to a wide variety of sports and crafts, and hopefully, they fall in love with something, and have the goodwill to practise it from a young age. I always wished I had started something when I was younger, but the truth is, my parents had given me lessons, both academic and non-academic in everything I've asked for and hated. They enrolled us to abacus, piano (Yes, asian stereotype), bowling, soccer, swimming, even asked if I wanted to try rugby. And really, I always went into something and strived for a while and then lost interested and quit. I think I had been given opportunities, I just never had the discipline nor will to carry them till fruits were reaped. Nonetheless though, I wish I had been talented as a child.

Yesterday morning was the coldest May (Autumn) morning in 98 years as the temperature plummeted to 1.8 degrees just after 7am. And there I was, clueless, walking about at 7.30am in shorts and my t-shirt wondering why it was colder than usual It really is quite cool, that only after Bob texted me to wear jeans that I started actually thinking and feeling really cold. Most of the time, our brain is a huge factor of how bad things are. Regardless, my nose has been bleeding the entire week, and my asthma's kicked in but I've lost my inhaler (How sexy, right). I can't wait to get back to my tropical island.
I keep feeling like I've heard this song when I was really young, but like many other familiar childhood songs, never found out what the title was and couldn't look for it. But then I just found out this was released only in 2011. Feeling very deja vu-ish now.
Our exams are about a week from now and I don't feel the least bit confident or in control, everyone just tells me "You're very smart Jolyn, you'll worry ceaselessly and then ace it" and whilst that may be annoying, I think I can only do well if I worry endlessly about it. I don't quite think I'll really just fail my units, it's only year 1 and sem 1, but I think that will change very soon, failing out of uni- or well, vet, is quite a heard of thing, and the more I hear the stories, the more afraid I get.
I haven't really been doing very well. Lots of things have been happening at home, and I'm worried, and frightened and I'm sad. For one thing, I just recently found out my grandfather has lung cancer and it's stage 4. They're going to put him through 30 rounds of chemo, but they say he probably won't make it. Mom tries to pretend she's fine all the time, but I can't believe she isn't hurting. And I can't do anything about it. While I have never been very close to my grandad, it's really, well, a hopeless feeling, to just one day realize the people around you can die just like that. And my mom used to always tell me regarding my dad's heavy smoking habit: "Look at Ah Kong. He smoke so much but still so healthy at his age, still can walk." and not to worry about my father. But now I'm just so certain it's really going to hurt my dad's health even more than it probably already has. Mostly though, I worry about my mom. I hope she really is fine, and is coping. The stress must be pretty overwhelming with grandpa in this state and everything else. She refuses to go into detail or even 'disturb' me because she wants me to concentrate on my exams. My mom always was the strongest woman I've known. But it's not working, the foremost thing on my mind is my family, and I will continue to pray and worry endlessly about them.
When I was about 13 or so, I made a vow never to smoke, not even one breath. Amd sometimes though, I want to, you know, try. Like everyone else, I don't think I'll enjoy it or get into it, but I want to try because I want to experience things before I die. But my reason had always been clear. Since I learnt about emphysema or cancer, I have always been terrified my dad will die from one of these diseases. Evil as it may sound, I am convinced he will if he doesn't stop, because when he gets stressed he goes up to a pack a day. And it's terrified me both as a kid and a teenager, I got nightmares of my dad dying, sometimes I just like thinking about what it would be like just because it could happen. And whilst the chances of getting hit by a car may be equal, it still is a personal choice. You could still make a choice not to. His reason had always been "It's my life, I'm old, I want to enjoy it." That's the thing though, I never want to put my kid through this, and I don't want to live my life solely for myself. My dad's life affects ours too: his wife; his children; his friends. It applies to everything, I always thought I would marry a guy who had ideals after mine, and I never wanted him to feel the way I did, so I stayed virgin. I want to be able to support my family, both the one I now have, and will have, financially, so I will be serious about school. They are all the same things.
You realize though, that when you start living with other people's interests at heart, you benefit yourself too. You learn to respect yourself and you get to good places, you get given good opportunities. You don't regret many things, and you don't hurt people as much. I just feel like it puts you in the right track.
I wish people lived more for other peoeple: to love people we take forgranted, and to start loving the people we have even yet to meet.

This is my cousin and oldest bestfriend. Her name is Angel. We used to live together, untill we were about 3 or so. I used to mispell her name as 'Angle'. That always made her quite mad at me. We've been through pretty much every thing together, though there have been stretched where we were both absorbed in our own lives. When we were in kindergarten, along with the boys, we had a secret clubhouse in the attic of our grandmother's shophouse. We used to all climb onto the roof and watch the cars. A row of kids, on the edge of a tiled roof. It truly was a sight to behold. There was a spiral-staircase from the back of the shophouse leading down into the kitchen and terracota vegetable garden of our uncle's restaurant. We kids were forbidden to use those stairs because they were metal and slippery and could kill us if we fell. We used to be very enteprising. We would photocopy coloured christmas cards and sell them at 50cents each to the relatives. Of course, everyone was merely entertaning us, but we felt so successful, like we were geniuses. $10 meant so much money. We once made pancakes using nothing but starch, flour, sugar and water. We fed it to the guys. They all suffered from food poisoining the next day.
I like reminiscing about our childhood. Along with our brothers and Royvin, it was a very enjoyable, innocent and adventurous one.
If you think
is pretty, well, she has a blog. Just sayin'.(:
It's raining today, the blinds are shut.
It's always the same.
I tried all the games that they play, but they made me insane.
Life on TV it's random, it means nothing to me.
I'm writing down what I cannot see; wanna wake up in a dream.
Trains in the sky are travelling through fragments of time.
They're taking me to parts of my mind that no one can find.
I'm ready to fall. I'm ready to crawl on my kness to know it all.
I'm ready to heal. I'm ready to feel.

Ever since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, letters to the editor have understandably and rightly been obsessed with guns, guns and guns. However wearisome, it's an important topic and, sadly, I don't see a consensus forming before the public's attention moves on (until the next mass shooting).
For Utah, that shift in focus will happen when the Legislature convenes on Jan. 28. Then our attention will be drawn to our damn entertaining elected clowns who dazzle us each year by topping the previous year's idiocies.
I always doubt our legislators' ability to come up with new zany material, but they never fail. How can they top an official state firearm, spending millions to foolishly sue the feds and banning sex ed? Stay tuned and see.
For me, I'd be happy if our representatives did two boring things:
1. Ban all use of cell phones while driving, and make it an offense you can be pulled over for.
2. Fully fund education so every elementary child is at grade level for reading, writing and arithmetic. If not, at least fund schools with the same zeal you fund highways; that'd be a start.

places to buy cut glass for cheap in Bay Area
I'm looking to get a glass cover for a tank as a replacement. Does anyone know of a place in the Bay Area that does this for cheap? I would like the edges to be sanded as well.
Was also thinking about making my own rimless tanks as well. Does anyone know of a good place to get rimless tanks/get glass to make rimless tanks?
Thanks so much :)
Neptune Aquatics in Milpitas does custom glass tanks and they might be able to do a cover for you or know someone that can. Getting an acrylic cover would be much cheaper than glass though and you can have a piece cut at Tap Plastics for $10-$20.
I went to TAP Plastics in Sacramento, and they refused to cut acrylic for me after I told them it was for an aquarium cover. They insisted the heat and humidty from an aquarium would ruin the acrylic. I asked about thickness and bracing it, and still no go.
I, too, am looking to have glass or acrylic cut for a custom cover.
Any glass place will do it. Here in Berkeley, I've been to UC Glass or Berkeley Glass, and both do it. Might want to sand it on your own though... I think they charge 10 bucks extra just to sand it, which is almost the price of the cover to begin with.
Best of luck!
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I like the Tap Plastics one, but if they give me problems with acrylic then I guess I can't do that.
Does the heat from the lighting and the humidity from the tank really cause that much damage to acrylic?
The employees insisted the heat and humidty would, though I have heard others say it's fine if braced. I'm not sure whether I should get glass or acrylic cut yet, and I would be interested in hearing from some other nor-cal people.
My friend used an acrylic cover for her tank. The heat and humidity bowed the acrylic quite a bit. They accounted for this at tap plastics by giving her a longer piece than necessary, but it looks really ghetto. I'd just go with glass.
I am guessing the acrylic wasn't braced in anyway though?
Not sure what you mean by bracing the acrylic if it's just literally a sheet that's used for the cover.
I'd just go with glass regardless.
I called up 2 places in the south bay. When I get back from school, I'm gonna check them out. Glass cutting was about 10-15 dollars.
I went down this path before. Making your own rimless tank is not an easy thing to do. It requires experience. Mr. Aqua makes an affordable solution!
There's a glass-cutting place on Blossom Hill Rd. just past the Monterey Rd. overpass... (Been about 7 years since I lived down that way, so it might not be there still...).
I called Ken's Glass on Senter Road in San Jose for a 36" x 16" piece of glass cut for the cover of my 40gb. He quoted me $30 for the cut and sanding. I believe Ken's Glass is on Yelp.
I'm looking at making my own acrylic covers. I don't think they'll bow or warp is you brace them. I've seen my friend glue them together using acrylic cement.
I have one tank I use a sheet of acrylic (or similar material) as a cover. It warps. This is just a 10 gallon tank, and a very thin sheet of acrylic.
Yup! Looks pretty bad.
On the other hand, if I drip any water on it, it runs right back into the tank!
It does not help to turn the sheet over, either. It just warps again the other way.
I have used much thicker pieces of acrylic for a slightly different use, over an aquarium, and the thicker material does not warp. It may be as much as 1/4" thick.
I have used some over a much smaller tank, and the small sheet was OK. This was just a 1 gallon tank, the cover was maybe 4" x 8", maybe smaller.

Perhaps Punishment Was Only About Context: New Issue of Lana Turner
That subject line uses Claudia Rankine writing on Serena Williams at the 2009 US Open ("Be Angry") for issue #6 of Lana Turner, which's got in accompaniment poems by Chris Nealon ("Could I just insert here that the question concerning technology doesn't seem / to me to be the question?"), Lauren Levin, Lyn Hejinian, Alli Warren, Jessica Marsh, Ben Lerner, Michael Palmer, Jessica Laser, Cathy Wagner, Marjorie Welish, Nathaniel Mackey, Tomaž Šalamun ("Raucous black sky, why did you swallow my / proof?"), Joshua Clover, and many more; an excerpt from Alexander Vvedensky's The Grey Notebook; notes by Mallarmé on Le Livre; Edoardo Sanguineti's "Essays on the Avant-Garde" (translated by Joel Calahan); reviews of books by Geoffrey G. O'Brien, Rae Armantrout, Susan Wheeler, Lynn Xu, Chris Stackhouse, Lucie Brock-Broido, Paul Legault; and yes it goes seemingly on in strong perpetuity (ow). To circle back, here's an excerpt from Rankine on Serena:
Watching the eighteen-year-old Serena begin to defeat top women players in 1999 made everyone see tennis as a stage where race-related dynamics play out. What does a victorious or defeated black woman's body in a historically white space look like? Serena and her big sister Venus Williams brought to mind Zora Neale Hurston's "I feel most colored when I am thrown against a sharp white background." This appropriated line, stenciled on stretched canvas by Glenn Ligon, who used plastic letter stencils, smudging oil sticks and graphite to transform the words into abstractions, seemed to be ad copy for some aspect of life for all black women.
However Hurston's statement manifests it was being played out on the big screen by Serena and Venus: they won sometimes, they lost sometimes, they were injured, they were happy, they were sad, they were ignored, they were booed mightily (see Indian Wells, which both sisters have boycotted since 2001), they were cheered, and through it all and evident to all were those people who were enraged they were there at all—graphite against a sharp white background.
Serena is younger than you are, with a winning record, so for years you attribute to her a kind of resilience appropriate only for those who exist in celluloid. But neither her father nor her mother nor her sister nor Jehovah her God nor NIKE camp could shield her ultimately from people who felt her black body didn't belong on their court, in their world. From the start many made it clear Serena would have done better struggling to survive in the two dimensionality of a Millet painting than on their tennis court—all that strength put to work working the land, rather than caught up in the turbulence of our age old dramas like a Turner landscape.

So, imagine if you will that you are sitting in the visitor room in prison. It's been awhile since you have seen your kids or your parents or your significant other. When, then out of the corner of your eye you see this scab infested woman with half her teeth gone stand up, lift up her shirt and press her naked breasts up against the glass dividing you and your visitors.
Nice huh? Well apparently the rumor that if you are in prison long enough any breasts look good, is just that. A rumor. So, when Amy Winehouse decided to flash her breasts to Blaaaaaaaaaaaake at her most recent visit and then press them up against the glass so he could get a good look at her infections, the reactions from the other prisoners ranged from "not pleasant" to "disgusting" to "awful" and that Amy seemed completely out of it.
I'm sure that Amy isn't the first person to flash her breasts to a guy in prison, and I'm fairly sure that hers were not the worst breasts in the world to be flashed. Fairly sure. Somewhat confident. Reasonably confident. Come on. They couldn't have been the worst. I just think that if you combine the effect of the breasts, the squishing against the glass partition and Amy up close, that it is probably a bit traumatic for anyone.
See, all of us are used to seeing Amy in print or on video. What if you were one foot away from her? In person? How terrified would you be? How scary would it look? OK, now you know why the prisoners don't want her to come back.

2007 Saab 9-7x Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2007 Saab 9-7x based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The trunk module can fail causing the tailgate to malfunction when opening or closing.
The fuel level sender can malfunction causing the fuel gauge to always read at the full level, even when the fuel tank is empty. The solution is to replace the fuel level sending unit.
The wiring for the transfer case speed sensor can fail causing sporadic operation of the AWD (All Wheel Drive) system.
Rear spring sensor malfunction can cause the rear suspension to sag requiring recalibration of the sensors.
Leaks in the air suspension can cause the air compressor to run constantly.
Oil can leak from the oil pressure sensor causing a loss of pressure at the sensor and illumination of the oil light.
If a groaning noise is heard from the rear of the vehicle while making turns, the limited slip differential should be inspected. Components should be inspected and replaced as needed.
Porosity in the rear of the engine block can cause oil leakage around the rear engine cover. Porosity may be found at rear of the engine and the repair procedure in the service bulletin describes using RTV silicone sealant to fill the porosity. There is also an updated rear engine cover for when porosity is found on the gasket mating surface.
The right/front seat belt retractor assembly can fail causing illumination of the SRS warning light.

Penn State's Bill O'Brien doesn't affirmatively shoot down NFL rumors
Penn State coach Bill O'Brien didn't affirmatively state he would return to the Nittany Lions in 2013 when discussing CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora's report that the Jaguars might pursue O'Brien again this offseason.
Last Sunday, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported that Penn State coach Bill O'Brien would be a hot name for NFL teams looking to fill coaching vacancies this offseason.
This created quite a stir, naturally, and O'Brien, the former Patriots offensive coordinator, was asked about returning in 2013 following PSU's 45-22 beatdown of Indiana on Saturday.
"You guys gave legs last week to a story that ... there's no story there," O'Brien said when asked by David Jones of the Patriot-News if he'd be back with the Nittany Lions next year. "Y'know, I'm focused on one game at a time. I'm focused on this football team. That's not something that I even think about. I think about that I'm the head football coach at Penn State. And I'm looking forward to getting this team ready for Wisconsin. I mean, we give legs to a story that's not even there."
That might kind-of, sort-of seem like a denial of the rumors, but, really, it's not. And Jones followed up by pointing out that he asked a "yes or no question" and O'Brien didn't answer it.
"It might be [a yes or no question] for you. For me, it's Wisconsin," O'Brien said. "And this football team and this senior class. That's where I think the questions should be directed: Indiana. The senior class. Getting ready for Wisconsin."
Annnnd there's another non-yes-or-no answer, yes? O'Brien is all business and a good guy and he doesn't seem like the type to leave anyone high and dry. But the Penn State situation is a train wreck, and as good a job as he's done with the Nittany Lions, you have to wonder if he doesn't look at the NFL and think about how much easier it might be to operate under non-restricted conditions.
Now, that being said, La Canfora never reported O'Brien was trying to leave. He only reported that Jacksonville loved O'Brien last year and the Jaguars (or some other team) might chase after him again this offseason.
By not absolutely affirming that he would return to Penn State in 2013, O'Brien is absolutely leaving the door open for further speculation about his possible departure.

I"m looking for a tiny teacup poodle that will only weight about 2-3 lbs when full grown, can anyone tell me where I can

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Be aware that "teacup" sized dogs are prone to more health problems due to their size.
If you do get one, do not get it from a breeder or pet store. Any breeder who sells "teacup" dogs of any breed is bad. They are either ignorant of the health problems that come with the size, or they sell them just to make money. Something a good breeder never does.
You may be able to find one through a rescue group or at a shelter.

I hate to break it to ya, but so-called "Teacups" are not part of the Poodle breed or recognized by the AKC. If you want a Toy Poodle pup though, than go to Mrs. Darlene Crosby while she has two available pups. (www.darcontoypoodles.com). Toys tend to grow to be five to six pounds when fully grown. These dogs can still sit in your lap and be couch potatoes, run around outside, can travel easily, and just want to be wherever you are.
Jet answered on 1/17/09. Helpful? / 0
Teacup dogs are not just a pint-sized puppy... They are prematurely born, undernourished puppies. In children, what happens to teacups would be called "failure to thrive." It is not a good thing.
Bam-Bam, CGC answered on 1/17/09. Helpful? / 0
Looking to buy a "tiny teacup" puppy is like getting pregnant and hoping that your child will be born with as many painful genetic defects possible.
You can find a "tiny teacup" puppy from numerous breeders on the internet or at pet stores, but be prepared to spend $2000+ on the purchase price, and then another $5000-10000+ on vet bills for the rest of the dog's short, miserable life.
Or, you could find a nice normal sized toy Poodle (many are under 6lbs) from a shelter for under $200, or from a great breeder for around $1000. Your choice.

Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Yost Ice Arena)
Score: Waterloo 2, Michigan 1 (ex.)
Attendance: 4,358
Next U-M Event: Thursday, Oct. 10 -- vs. Boston College (Yost Ice Arena), 7 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan ice hockey team fell, 2-1, to the Waterloo Warriors in exhibition play on Sunday night (Oct. 6) at Yost Ice Arena. Alternate captain Andrew Copp (Ann Arbor, Mich.) provided the lone goal for the Wolverines in the second period, while Waterloo's Andy Smith scored once in the first and netted the decisive goal midway through the second period. The third stanza was scoreless for both teams.
Waterloo opened the scoring at 10:57 of the first period when Smith sent home a rebound shot past Steve Racine's (Williamsville, NY) right arm. U-M had two power-play opportunities throughout the period but failed to convert either.
Twenty-five seconds into the second period, Michigan evened up the score when Copp forced a turnover and got a hold of the puck off the Waterloo goaltender's stick.
Smith nabbed his second goal -- ultimately the game-winner -- at 11:54 of the middle frame, putting home another rebound goal when a shot by teammate Joe Underwood bounced off Racine's pads.
Freshman goaltender Zach Nagelvoort (Holland, Mich.) took over between the pipes immediately following Waterloo's second goal. The Wolverines were successful on both penalty kills faced in the middle frame, but once again failed to convert either of their two power-play opportunities.
The third period was scoreless for both the Warriors and the Wolverines.
Nagelvoort was pulled with 54 seconds remaining for the benefit of an extra attacker, and Michigan had a late-period power-play opportunity, but the late-period surge proved not enough to pull a win for the Wolverines.
Of this year's freshmen, five forwards, three defensemen and one goaltender got ice time during the night's matchup.
Racine saved 11 of 13 shots faced, and Nagelvoort stopped nine of nine.
Michigan outshot the Warriors, 35-22.
The Maize and Blue return to the ice on Thursday (Oct. 10) to face Boston College in the regular-season opener at Yost Ice arena. The puck is set to drop at 7 p.m.

- Tennessee is coming off a 1-2 showing in the Maui Invitational, with losses to No. 6 Duke and No. 8 Memphis (double overtime) and a victory over host school Chaminade. The team arrived back in Knoxville around 10 p.m. ET Friday after close to 20 hours of travel (three flights; Maui to Los Angeles, to Memphis, to Knoxville), practiced twice Saturday and departed for Michigan at 3 p.m. Sunday.
- Only once in the last seven years has Tennessee shot better than 70 percent at the free-throw line (.701 in 2005-06). The Vols are shooting .752 at the charity stripe so far this season.
- Located in Rochester, Mich., Oakland University is about a 30-minute drive north of Detroit.
- After setting a Summit League record with 2,992 points and finishing No. 2 in the country in scoring last season (85.5 ppg), Oakland is averaging 73.0 ppg this season. The Vols allow 72.2 ppg.
- Only once in the last seven years has Tennessee shot better than 70 percent at the free-throw line (.701 in 2005-06). The Vols are shooting .752 at the charity stripe so far this season.
- Tennessee players are responsible for the top two individual scoring performances by SEC players so far this season. Jeronne Maymon scored 32 points vs. No. 8 Memphis (11/22/11), and Trae Golden dropped 29 points on UNC Greensboro (11/11/11).
- Junior forward Jeronne Maymon has recorded double-doubles in three of UT's last four games and is averaging 14.4 points and 9.4 rebounds in 24.0 minutes per game this season. He started Wednesday vs. Chaminade but played just two minutes due to a right leg injury.
- Maymon gave a gutsy 32-point, 20-rebound effort in Tennessee's 99-97 loss to No. 8 Memphis last Tuesday in Maui.
The Oakland Series
- Last season's meeting in Knoxville was the first meeting in the series, and the Grizzlies defeated the previously unbeaten and seventh-ranked Vols 89-82 on Dec. 14, 2010 ... The Vols are 0-1 all-time against current members of the Summit League, but Cuonzo Martin is 1-0 vs. Summit League teams, having beaten Oral Roberts at Missouri State.
On This Date: Nov. 28
- Tennessee is 6-3 all-time on Nov. 28 and is riding a three-game win streak on this date ... The Vols' last game on this date was a 90-78 victory over 21stranked Georgetown at the 2008 Old Spice Classic in Orlando, Fla. ... Then a redshirt freshman, Cameron Tatum drained five 3-pointers in the final five minutes of that game.
Vols On Pace For Close To 300 3-Pointers
- Though the season is young, Tennessee is on pace to make the third-most 3-pointers in program history ... Through five games, the Vols average 9.6 3-pointers made per game ... At that rate, UT's 31-game regular-season total projects out to 297 ... The Vols made a record 327 treys in 2006- 07 and followed that with 312 in 2007-08 ... No other UT teams have made more than 300 ... Chris Lofton, the SEC's all-time 3-point king, played for each of those top-two 3-point shooting teams.

Officials investigate woman's death
CLYMER — The death of a Clymer woman, whose body was found Friday morning outside her home, is under investigation by state and local police, the coroner and the district attorney.
An employee at a nearby business discovered the body of Janice Keith, 66, around 10 a.m. in the snow beside a small porch at her home at 150 Spruce St., said Indiana County District Attorney Patrick Dougherty.
Keith was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:20 a.m. by Chad E. Dill, Indiana County chief deputy coroner, according to a statement today from Indiana County Coroner Jerry L. Overman Jr.

Keith lived alone in the house.
All possible causes remain under consideration, and officials are treating it as a suspicious death, according to Dougherty.
An autopsy "hopefully will shed some light on this," Dougherty said.
According to Overman's office, the autopsy was expected to be performed this morning at UPMC Altoona, and Overman said he expected to have results this afternoon.
John A. Lefdahl Funeral Home, Indiana, is handling funeral arrangements for Keith.

While I like to plan ahead, one overcast day in Varanasi, India, I quickly learned that you can't always anticipate what comes your way. Upon leaving the offices of CASHPOR (our microfinance institution partner) with our project manager, we were faced with a drizzle that quickly turned into buckets of pouring water. The busy streets became increasingly chaotic as everyone scurried for shelter, forcing us to pull our motorbike over to wait for the rain to stop. As the road began to flood, we became concerned about the laptops, cameras, and mobile phones in our backpacks, and realized that we needed to get out of the rain quickly to shield our things. We hopped into an auto-rickshaw as our only alternative transportation. Since the rickshaw did not have doors, the rain streamed into the car. The engine began to stall as it flooded with water, but somehow we made it back to my residence. This delay forced us to cancel a call that evening, even though it had been scheduled for weeks. What would have just been considered a heavy rain in Washington, was a flood in Varanasi, and prevented people from necessary travel and daily business.
The unanticipated ordeal opened my eyes just how many unknowns there are in developing areas that prevent the poor from predicting what obstacles will hit them down the road. This uncertainty is why we see a need for the poor to have access to risk-management tools, especially access to savings products, to act as a shield against shocks.
In India, as in most developing areas, women are working extremely hard to improve their financial situation. As I visited the women in their residences, I was amazed at their entrepreneurial spirit and their ability to create business niches such as repairing old cardboard boxes with a staple gun or creating tiny plastic bottles with a manual machine. CASHPOR's clients struggle not because they lack a work ethic, business sense, or intelligence, but because they happened to be born into an impoverished area and do not have access to enough risk-management and incoming-generating tools.
Cashpor clients gather weekly to repay their loans. In this meeting, they learned about the importance of only taking small loans to ensure easier repayments and discussed how savings would soon be offered at CASHPOR.
Due to the regulations in India, savings are not yet offered at CASHPOR. However, I firmly believe that these women have the right to the same tools that we have to manage our own finances, which is why we have people working around the clock on this savings project. Through an innovative approach, we are on our way to finding a feasible business plan and a new strategy to provide the first savings products at CASHPOR to improve the lives of its clients.
in my opinion we destroy the poverty in many ways,
1. to create many many works for different levels.
1.1. low level (non educator ones )
1.2. middle level (able to write and read)
1.3. high level educated ones who have no where to ably what he learn t
2. to reduce the import of the basic needs
3. to reduce the export which isn't needed
in my conclusion when the people become same level then there will be a time to learn them how to save it and make more profit .
4. to get dooners which help the people who have an idea to create work but have no money.
I think there are many ways to apply Risk Management to help poors. But we have to distinghish between:
- catastrophal events like flood, enviromental disasters, earthquakes, epidemies, illness and similar
- financial needs as a consequence of the first point or simply beacuse for some reasons products or clients are no more available
A Fund should destinate, in my opinion, part of the resources/profits to:
a) respond to natural emergencies
b) respond to financial crisis of micro activities
Saving can sove little and short temporarly matters but can not give appropriate answer to a huge disaster such those we regulary see in certain areas of the world like India, Bangladesh, Haity non to mention war zones like Iraq or Afghanistan. Emergency plans should not only be charity but helps to restart economy and in particular "micro" economies like the ones Grameen takes care of. This kind of risks can be insured (if we know the number of financed people potencially involved and how to reach them) and this is risk transfer. Insurance should be on Fund shoulder and not on financed people: the scope is to protect from losses but realty is a way to refinance a restart.
Another approach is to help this communities to protect themselves from natural disasters or other catastrophal risks including epidemies/illnesses and invest to give them protection or teach them prevention.
Their saves must be "saved" to help them to grow. Risk management must be a tool to protect themselves and their micro-activities.
