The BEST Mobile Phone Commercial EVER from China, 受不了了!!
Set up like a cheesy Chinese soap opera, the opening scene the girl wants to kill herself because the boys keep changing cell phones. The viewer at home can't take it anymore and uses a machine gun and shoots through the TV and attempts to kill all the men in the ad. He can't complete his task and a guy watching the ad online then can't take it anymore that the guy at home in the ad watching the other ad has run out of bullets and shoots him through the computer.
Yes, it is the best cell phone commercial ever!

http://www.benspark.com Can you believe that there is a Hot Dog Joint in Boston's Chinatown? It is true, the Fei Fan Eatery serves delicious Kayem hot dogs with Japanese toppings like seaweed, Kimchee and more. We try out three different dogs including the Crazy Dog, Avana Dog and the Cheesy Dog. I went with my pal Rob Merlino (aka. the Hot Dog Man) who runs Hot Dog Stories and The Hot Dog Truck blogs. We did a Guerrilla visit, totally unannounced and we were warmly welcomed by Leiko, the owner. She was so warm and welcoming and she fed us so well, she even included a serving of Takoyaki (octopus) to try. For more about our trip check out our write ups as well as Rob's Video from the trip. Be sure to Subscribe to my channel and Rob's for all of our upcoming Hot Dog Adventures. http://youtu.be/U44mW8ss-DcLovIt! Great Job!

Edinburgh Zoo panda mating FAIL: No Sunshine for Sweetie
Edinburgh Zoo's giant pandas have failed to mate this year despite the best efforts of the Scottish zoo to encourage them to procreate, dashing hopes that a baby panda would be born this year.
Sweetie and her male mate Sunshine arrived in Scotland from China last December and had been kept in separate enclosures until this week, when experts decided the time to mate had arrived.
Female pandas ovulate once a year, with only a 36-hour period in which they can get conceive.
Despite showing an interest in each other, the duo failed to take advantage of their short 'window of opportunity.'
Now Sunshine will have to wait another year to take his chance. What will zoo officials do to encourage them to mate next year?

American Paddlefish or Chinese Paddlefish, they're all going extinct!
Endangered Animals - The Chinese Paddlefish
Some information on the endangered Paddlefish. (My Science Homework)

Rare Fish Under Threat in China
Rare Fish Under Threat in China by NewsLook
Rare Fish Under Threat in China by NewsLook
Plans to reduce a fish conservation zone in China's Yangtze River have met strong opposition from environmental groups. The reserve is considered the last safe haven for several endangered Chinese fish species, such as the paddlefish and suckerfish.
Powered by NewsLook.com
Chinese Paddlefish, Psephurus gladius (simplified Chinese: 白鲟; traditional Chinese: 白鱘; pinyin: báixún), also known as Chinese Swordfish, are among the largest freshwater fish. It is one of two extant paddlefish species, the other being the American Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula). It is also called "elephant fish" (象魚; xiàngyú) because its snout resembles an elephant trunk. It is recorded sometimes in Classical Chinese as wěi-fish (鮪). More poetically, it is sometimes referred to as the "Giant Panda of the Rivers", not because of any physical resemblance to a panda, but because of its rarity and protected status.
The Chinese Paddlefish is the People's Republic of China's first-level protected animal. Its belly is white and back and head grey. They live mostly in the middle or lower part of the Yangtze (Chang Jiang), occasionally in large lakes. They feed on other fish, as well as small amounts of crabs and crayfish.

Lyrics:
VERSE 1
I, started this rhyme as I waited for the train
On the platform, hearing instrumentals in my brain
My kicks dirty gray 'cuz the air so foul
One hundred degrees out, so we pray for rain
The line pulls up, and it's full as hell
Not to mention, these cats got a funky ass smell
LL might be somewhere ringin some bells
But as for me, I can barely even hear my cell
These are the middle class losers, beggars, students
Here, if you don't got a car, you ain't included
A place that turns flesh to stone, like Medusa
The '60s, tried to make a ghost of Confucius
The car turns north as my head shuts down
Prepared to close doors like old John Brown
Done with the rhyme, and we're almost out of town
And I almost missed my stop, I was busy with the sounds
CHORUS
Just another day in the city of the North
Some push foreign whips; some are just piss-poor.
Just another day in a city filled with schemes
Filled with teams who be dreaming of the cream, so it seems
x2
VERSE 2
I live in a city where the dust hits ya bones
Where to be heard, your words gotta use megaphones
Where everybody smokes and it's killing them slow
Where you can sing out loud and nobody hears the tones
People tryna go hard, but they scared as hell
So they keep coming back like a carousel
no roots, so they move like a tumbling weed
Like police at the door while they bundling weed
They hear the knock outside and they stumble and flee
While I roam the city free like Grand Theft 3
There's poison in the air, so he's coughin up lungs
But he breathes in, the Spirit's got him speaking in tongues
Coughed up some blood, guess he is a little scared
But he made it this far, guess he's sposed to be here
A life well lived is a life without fear
Got more than 4 bars, am I coming through clear?
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I run the rings like Sonic, blaze like the chronic
Gaze at the stars, see my fate like a comet
But the haze on the city every day from the morning
No colors, just greys, like the city was in mourning
They poured over slums to make way for the champions
Now they got clubs where before, there were stadiums
Got bums, from locals turned aliens
An unmarked grave for the brave who remained in 'em
I jumped off the train as I headed to the crib
and came face-to-face with a horse drawn rig
A man with blank eyes and a face like stone
Is this city mine, or his to call home?
Just another day in a city caught between
Tryna stay above water while we, chase our dreams
Some live and some die, tryna do their thing
Some live and some die, this big city, Beijing
CHORUS

TaiChi News and Research: Older subjects who regularly practise Tai Chi have better arterial compliance and greater muscle strength
Older subjects who regularly practise Tai Chi found to have better arterial Compliance and Greater Muscle Strength...
Science Daily (press release)
Exercise which can achieve both cardiovascular function and muscle strength "would be a preferred mode of training for older persons," say investigators. Experienced practitioners of Tai Chi, the traditional Chinese mind-body exercise now enjoyed worldwide, have been shown in a study of older subjects to have improved expansion and contraction of arteries according to cardiac pulsation (arterial compliance) and improved knee muscle strength.
The findings, say the investigators, of better muscle strength without jeopardising arterial compliance suggest that Tai Chi may well be a suitable exercise for older people to improve both cardiovascular function and body strength. A number of studies, they explain, have shown that strength training to improve muscle function and offset the effects of aging have also been accompanied by a decline in arterial compliance. "Evidence that strength training could change arterial compliance in middle-aged and older subjects is still elusive," they note.

http://youtu.be/cIskvJCyo_4
From Wikipedia
Happy Lamb and Grey Wolf or Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf (the English name shown on the official merchandise) (Chinese: 喜羊羊与灰太狼; pinyin: Xǐ Yáng Yáng yǔ Huī Tài Láng) is a Chinese animatedtelevision series which was created by Huang Weiming, Lin Yuting and Luo Yinggeng, and produced by Creative Power Entertaining. The show is about a group of goats living on the Green Pasture, Qing Qing Grasslands/Plains, (青青草原) and the story revolving around a clumsy wolf who wants to eat them. It is aired on over 40 local TV stations including Hong Kong's TVB, BTV Animation Channel and CCTV. The show was also aired in Taiwan, India and Singapore. The show has not yet seen an international release outside of Asia. However, some of the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf DVD's have English subtitles. As of 2011, an English dub has been aired in Taiwan.

Marion Barry: 'We’ve got to do something about these Asians and their dirty shops'
http://youtu.be/tagHVuYX-NQ
“We got to do something about these Asians coming in and opening up businesses and dirty shops,” Barry said in remarks first reported by WRC-TV. “They ought to go. I’m going to say that right now. But we need African-American businesspeople to be able to take their places, too.”
Barry: 'We’ve got to do something about these Asians coming in' | Washington Examiner:
Mayor Vincent Gray said he hadn’t heard about the comments.
“I think you know what I stand for,” he said, according to the local outlet. “And that is everybody having an equal opportunity in the District of Columbia.”
The comments go counter to Barry’s claim on his D.C. Councilmembers biography, that he stands for “always advocating for economic inclusion - on behalf of African Americans, women, Hispanics, Asians and Pacific Islanders.”
Of course, this is not the first time that Barry has found himself in a controversial situation. In 1990, Barry was arrested in a sting operation related to crack cocaine use and possession, for which he spent six months in a federal prison.

Addressing US/China Distrust -Brookings Institute
-We don't trust each other. So what.
"Domestically, both the U.S. and China are confronting the need in the coming few years to change basic dimensions of the distinctive growth model each has pursued for decades. In the U.S. the major issue is how to deal with a fiscal deficit that threatens to spin out of control within a decade if serious measures are not taken on both the expenditure and revenue sides of the equation. In China, the 12th Five Year Plan articulates a new development model because the resource, environmental, social, and international costs of the model pursued in
recent decades have become too great.
Prospects for the future thus must take into account expectations about how successful the U.S. and China respectively will be in effecting the economic transition that each now confronts. At present, many commentators and politicians on each side attribute their own country’s economic deficiencies to actions by the other side and propose various penalties in response. Therefore, to the extent that reforms in the two development models fall short, the bilateral relationship is more likely to deteriorate. This introduces additional uncertainty surrounding each side’s future posture and capabilities."
