I haven't shot pool in a while so we decided to shoot pool after YCF

Because she is a midget, we let her slide on the rule of having one foot on the ground while taking a shot.
Hehe, I got the tune-up for my car at Wing Auto Shop! Because my dad is a taxi-driver, he knows all the asian ghetto mechanic spots. We went to Brooklyn to get my car done.

Yahoo matches Gmail gigabyte - but only in China
The Internet firm has boosted its free email storage limit for Chinese users.
Yahoo has increased the storage limit of its free email service tenfold in China, but users elsewhere may not get to enjoy the same benefit anytime soon. In a statement on its mainland Web site, the company said it has boosted the storage capacity for its free mail service from 100MB to 1GB, matching the storage of rival Google's upcoming Gmail offering.
While Gmail's trials are confined to a select group, Yahoo's upgrade will be extended to all existing and new users of its mail service in China. However, subscribers must first log on to Yahoo's instant messenger service and add other users to their contact lists to qualify for the 1GB of storage.
Why only in China?

cool study
Researchers at the regional Federal Reserve bank acknowledged the importance of productivity and investment in the economic process but looked at some recent unconventional efforts to explain differences in national prosperity.
The St Louis Fed drew on work by outside economists who studied 35 countries, including the United States, European nations, Japan, India and Turkey and found that religion shed some useful light.
"In countries where large percentages of the population believe in hell, there seems to be less corruption and a higher standard of living," the St. Louis Fed said in its July quarterly review.
For instance, 71 percent of the U.S. population believe in hell and the country boasts the world's highest per capita income, according to the 2003 United Nations (news - web sites) Human Development Report and 1990-1993 World Values Survey.
Ireland, not far behind the United States in terms of income, likewise has a healthy fear of a nether world with 53 percent of the population acknowledging hell's existence.

The Simpsons update
"We have a show where, to raise money, Springfield legalizes gay marriage," producer Al Jean told comic book fans. "Homer becomes a minister by going on the Internet and filling out a form. A longtime character comes out of the closet, but I'm not saying who." And with that, Simpsons aficionados got their gaydar on and began winnowing down the list of potential suspects.
The early favorite appears to be billionaire Monty Burns' ever-devoted sidekick, Waylon Smithers, who--aside from being a yes-man--has been known to collect Malibu Stacy dolls, lives in the gay part of town (where Homer once shacked up with two gay guys), has a Mr. Burns screensaver and dreams of a naked Mr. Burns jumping out of a birthday cake.
But that might be too easy. According to online fan scuttlebutt, there are other characters who might be secretly having a gay old time in Springfield, including Homer's regular-guy cohorts at the nuclear plant, Carl and Lenny, as well as Moe the bartender, the Reverend Lovejoy, Principal Skinner and Comic Book Guy. Of course, the producers didn't rule out a lesbian wedding, either.

dip it low
what does 'dippin it low like whoa' mean ? from jared's blog
I made that line up because it rhymes.
But "dip it low" was coined by christina milian as her title from her new radio single which is overplayed like Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces of me." Its more like "Pieces of Crap."
But in anycase, I think dip it low refers to a dance move where you kinda drop and shake your booty really low to dance floor kind of like strippers do? I am not sure, please refer to your dancer bf.
And christina milian is trying to look like Beyonce in the pic. So sad, no room for individuality...

After the bball game, I managed to catch Bill Clinton's speech at Democratic Convention. If public speaking was a sport, Bill Clinton would be the Michael Jordan of speech making. His political oratory, never condemning the Republicans and always focusing on uplifting the credibility of John Kerry, impressed the people there and the media. This morning, every news commentator was saying his speech was the speech to beat and that John Kerry had to make the speech of his life.
I hope all you guys vote! Its really important because we are at a turning point in this country where our own safety is more than ever, the precedent issue.

there are many things i wish i didnt do
but i continue praying. i always meant to do the things for you.
and so i have to say before i go,
that i just want you to know i've found a reason for me,
to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new,
and the reason is you
i'm sorry that i sinned against you,
its something i must live with everyday
and all the pain i put people through,
i know that you could take it all away
and you're the one who catches all my tears,
thats why i need you to hear
i'm not a perfect person,
i never meant to do those things to you
and so i have to say before i go
that i just want you to know
i've found a reason for me,
to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new,
and the reason is you
i've found a reason to show a side of me you didnt know
a reason for all that i do,
and the reason is you

SONG OF THE MOMENT
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehowI want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be lovedShe will be loved
And She will be loved
And She will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
She will be loved (repeated)
yes, I know some people find these bands as "gay", but I really dig Maroon 5. I like this song a lot, I sing it in the car a lot. And no, I don't wear a dress, punk.

u cannot make someone luv u All u can do is be someone who can be loved The rest is up to them
just b/c someone doesnt luv u the way u want them to doesnt mean they dont luv u w/ all they have
no matter how good a friend is theyre gonna hurt u every once in a while and u must forgive them for that
its not what u have in ur life but who u have in ur life that counts
2 ppl can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different
true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance
its taking me a long time to become the person i want to be

I HATE DUKE
The 1,650 members of the incoming freshman class will each receive a 20-GB iPod at orientation on Aug. 19. The devices will come preloaded with Duke-related content, such as orientation information and the school's academic calendar.
Duke is also licensing Apple iTunes software to distribute a special version of iTunes that offers students the ability to download course content provided by faculty, including language lessons, music, recorded lectures and audiobooks.
The iPod distribution is part of a pilot program between Duke and Apple that will be evaluated after one year. Duke is paying for the project with strategic planning funds that it has set aside for one-time innovative technology purposes.
"We're approaching this as an experiment, one we hope will motivate our faculty and students to think creatively about using digital audio content and a mobile computing environment to advance educational goals," said Tracy Futhey, Duke's VP for information technology. "We think the power and flexibility of these devices offer some real advantages over other media used to distribute educational content, such as CD-ROMs and DVDs."
The effort is part of a larger Apple initiative to spread the reach of iTunes and iPod onto college campuses. Apple has started a program called "iTunes on Campus" that allows colleges to obtain free institutional licenses to distribute iTunes to students.
how come Columbia couldn't give the alumni free ipods as a thank you for the all the tuition money we gave them?????? WHY THE INJUSTICE IN THIS WORLD?????????

What is she is rich?
Traditional thinking says the man is “supposed to” earn more than the woman, and traditionally-minded men feel more comfortable in the role of chief material provider. But according to marketing futurist Faith Popcorn, 40% of households with an income of $600,000 or more are headed by women. Some of those women are out in the dating world looking for love. One of them might even love you… if you can figure out what she wants that money can’t buy. What can you do to make a great impression on dates with a wealthier woman without killing yourself financially?
To come up with an answer to that, er, jackpot question, you may need to reinvent yourself a little – or at least rethink your image of yourself. Getting a wow out of this woman will require something more substantive than a luxury car, references to vacations at exclusive resorts, or extensive knowledge of the triple-digit-priced bottles on the wine list at the most expensive restaurant in town. The good news is that “more substantive” doesn’t necessarily mean “more material.” (If it does, she’s probably in the “knows the price of everything and the value of nothing” category and not worth your trouble.)
What you have to offer should be coming not out of your wallet, but out of yourself. What does that mean? Start by giving her your undivided attention when you’re together. Make eye contact with her. Show her that when she’s talking, you’re really listening. Be communicative and emotionally available. She’s independent financially, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t need you – she just needs to depend on you for support of a different nature. Remember things she’s told you. If she mentions that she’s working non-stop toward an important business deal, wish her luck the night before or call to see how it went afterward. If she mentions her child’s dance recital or soccer match, ask how it went and mention the child by name. That you remember a few of the details she’s shared about her life won’t go unnoticed and will score you big points. She’s probably got a high-pressure job. She has personal obligations. So she’s dealing with her fair share of stress every day. Can you make her laugh? Can you charm her with little romantic flourishes – nothing elaborate, nothing forced – that make the strains and anxieties of everyday life recede from her thoughts?
If she thinks of her time with you as a respite, a space of time in which she can relax and enjoy herself, she’s going to savor and look forward to that time. And the best news of all? This strategy works equally well to attract women who are just plain middle class, like you. If you follow it, at the very least you can count on a richer dating life.

So sad
A security guard at BLVD grabbed one suspect - a 6-foot-2, 225-pound man - after he and his accomplice allegedly attacked a helpless server and left her naked and unconscious in a private room.
Sources say the attack occurred at about 2 a.m. Saturday in the trendy dance club and eatery at 199 Bowery, at Prince Street, which opened with a performance by Grammy-winner Norah Jones and promotes concerts by the likes of R&B heartthrob Usher.
I park my car right in front of the BLVD on Sunday mornings because its free parking. So disappointing that a club with security cannot secure their own workers.

Japan makes world's smallest diamond ring
Cheapskate husbands-to-be the world over have reason to celebrate today, after a Japanese company unveiled what is believed to be the world's smallest diamond ring. The ring has a 0.02 millimetre diameter and bears a five-billionth of a carat diamond. It can only be seen through a microscope. Hitachi High-Technologies says it used technology normally used to produce semiconductors to make the ring.
It was created by Yasushi Kuroda, an employee of the company's subsidiary Hitachi Science Systems, to illustrate that the company's equipment can be used to make micro-machines.
Kuroda took just two hours to make the ring using equipment with gallium ion beams which is normally used to inspect and manufacture semiconductor chips.
The ring was made from tungsten wire from light bulbs and the diamond, 0.01 millimetres in diameter, was from polishing powder, the officials said. A digital microscope photo of the ring won the gold award at this year's Asia-Pacific Conference on Electron Microscopy.

Video Game Enhancements
Spider-Man 2 star Kirsten Dunst ordered video game designers to tone down the animated version of her character Mary Jane - because they gave her over-inflated breasts. The actress was asked to give her approval for the sequel's new merchandise and had to chastise the game's saucy creators.She says: "I got to approve the video game, the way she looks. They made her boobs gigantic. I was like, 'Tone down the boobs, please!" It was a little ridiculous."

Interesting facts
Every summer, the United Nations Development Program issues a thorough, state-of-the-world-like report in which the world's countries are ranked according to the Human Development Index, a system for determining standard of living. This year, as in the previous three, Norway tops the list, while neighboring Sweden has climbed one spot to number two.
The report states that Norway has a life expectancy of 79 years and a school enrollment ratio of 98 percent. As usual, industrialized nations figure heavily in the top 20, with the United States coming in at eighth place, and the United Kingdom at 12th. At the bottom of the list, for the seventh year in a row, lies Sierra Leone, still suffering from the consequences of civil war.
Norway tops the list, the report argues, because of its high wealth combined with a small population. The average income in Norway is, according to the report, a staggering USD 36,600. Only Luxembourg, with an average income of USD 61,190 can top that. In comparison, Sweden's average income is USD 26,050, while that of Ethiopia is USD 780.
The 2004 report shows disturbing signs that development is actually in reversal in 20 of the world's nations. 13 of these lie in sub-Saharan Africa. According to the report, the main reason for this reversal is the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis. Life expectancy in eight of the sub-Saharan nations has now fallen below 40 years because of the disease. "The Aids crisis cripples states at all levels because the disease attacks people in their most productive years," Mark Malloch Brown, head of the UNDP, told the BBC.
The top 20:
1. Norway (visited in June)
2. Sweden (visited in June)
3. Australia
4. Canada
5. Netherlands
6. Belgium
7. Iceland (visited in June)
8. United States (currently living)
9. Japan
10. Ireland
11. Switzerland
12. Britain
13. Finland
14. Austria
15. Luxembourg
16. France
17. Denmark
18. New Zealand

July 13, 2004 -- An apparently drunken man was electrocuted yesterday when he accidentally fell onto the third rail in a downtown Manhattan subway station, police and witnesses said.
The unidentified 41-year-old man was waiting for a northbound C train at the Spring Street station at 8:28 p.m. when he staggered onto the catwalk at one end of the platform, witnesses told authorities.
As he began urinating, the man tumbled onto the tracks and hit the electrified rail, witnesses said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Service was disrupted for less than an hour.

Drunkeness can lead to infertility
London - A British man, who accidentally shot himself in the testicles after drinking 15 pints of beer, was jailed for five years on Tuesday for possessing an illegal firearm, a court spokesperson said.
David Walker, 28, was arguing with a friend at a pub in South Yorkshire, northern England, when he went home to get his sawed-off shotgun, which he jammed into his trousers.
But as he walked back to the pub, the gun went off, blasting pellets into his testicles. Doctors later removed what remained of his testicles during emergency surgery.
Walker admitted possessing a prohibited weapon at a hearing in June at the court in Sheffield.
