The first place we visited today was Tian'anmen Square. The pictures show many of the gorgeous buildings.Our next stop after the Forbidden City was to the zoo to see the giant pandas. I was an absolutely incredible ship that you can see in one of the pictures below.For supper tonight we were treated to Peking duck. I ate duck beak, sweet and sour shrimp, tofu, spicy radishes, duck (with bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and broccoli), Peking duck (which was incredible), and believe it or not my favorite which was bone of duck soup.

I attended three different universities during college and received two undergraduate degrees (three years at one, summer school classes at another, and 2 years at the last - part of a school sponsored 3-2 program designed to give engineering students a chance to take classes other than engineering classes)18. I stayed at home for a year after graduating from college to pay off my student loans27. My work study job during 4 of my 5 years of college was in food services28. I developed an allergy to alcohol sometime in college and I haven't had a drink in about 5 years when I had a serious reaction after having one drink (meaning I raised the glass to my lips once and bad things happened after that)37. I went to colleges with two of the longest running rivalry games in college football history (The Monon Bell game between DePauw and Wabash since 1890 (oldest college football rivalry west of the Alleghenies) and The Old Oaken Bucket game between Purdue and Indiana since 1926) which has made for a busy November for me every year.54.

Yes, I would admit that I have ways about myself that would freak other people out, but I donât think that makes me crazy. Well, Iâm providing a guide to understanding me. Theyâll understand my sense of humor, what concerns me, and yes, my issues!Although Iâm a complex machine, I just want to provide a condensed list of rules that I live my life by. Thatâs why Iâm labeled weird. Iâm rare. So everyone can understand why I do and say the things that I do.Rule 24: Please think about the question youâre going to ask me before you ask it. It aggravates me when people ask me questions that they already know the answer too, yet they ask me anyway. For example: âYâall Iâm going to the store. I just said that and someone like my sister asks me if Iâm going to the store. When I hold the door open for a lady, why does she grab the door while Iâm holding it for her? Iâm not a common 20-year old. Iâm rare. I donât eat Watermelon. Thatâs almost like saying that I donât eat chicken. No, I donât eat watermelon. The juiciness of the fruit prevents you from pinpointing where it landed and continuing to eat it would be gross.â That is why I donât eat watermelon. Iâm not allergic to it, but psychologically Iâve made myself think that I am. I also donât eat collard-greens which is another sin to black people. And when you eat it, it tastes like grass.Rule 64 (supplemental): I donât like my foods to touch. Need I say more?Estes 4Rule 5: Donât eat or drink off of me. We kiss all the timeââI know, but when Iâm eating or drinking, that belongs to me. When Iâm being serious, youâll know Iâm being serious. But when Iâm not, take the stick out of your butt and enjoy life. Sometimes itâs hard for me to take my own advice, but I always try to get a good laugh at least twice a day.Estes 5Rule 1 (and probably the most important): Iâm always right- most of the time. Iâm always right. Iâm too smart to be wrong, so donât argue with me. link What is your favorite lunch meat? Who is your favorite cartoon character? Depends on what you're talking about.13.

If the nearest defender is 8 yds away and giving you time, this means that if you pass the ball immediately, you are going to be putting team-mates in a tough situation, because since the defender is not right on top of you, he and his team-mates are better able to gang up on your team-mates.game starts out with both teams exchanging the stereotypical fruitless headers off crosses.340-400 aus off efforts345 AUS captain Viduka gets ball left side 25 yds from Italy goal, with his back to the Italy goal, an Italian right behind him, on top of him. This combination of passing the ball away immediately to a tightly covered man when you have lots of time and space yourself, combined with a total lack of attack down the middle, combined with obsessively moving the ball to the wing on the sideline, combined with the wing on the sideline getting into trouble burrowing into the corner--it might impress the fat 6th grader, but I don't see how it is going to result in a goal against a defense as strong as Italy's.650 italy offense effort Gelardino, did nice job of dribbling down cutting back under pressure, but then when he should have sent a short 5 yd pass to a team-mate he attempted to dribble through two AUS got the ball stripped.825-845 aus offense833 AUS player in middle of field 50 yds from Italy goal with clear sailing straight ahead, immediately passed to wing on right sideline. The tough Italian and Australian defenses have been stifling ground attacks, yet neither the Australian offense nor the Italian offense has resorted to aerial attacks, maybe they are simply incapable of the kind of aerial attacks I dream of, as a person who can consistently sprint 15 yds keeping the ball off the ground but under control.Italy plays more like the Latins and AUS plays like USA, I decided Australia was like the USA before I heard the ESPN announcer declare such to be the case.1700 time space for Chipperfield again, he got the ball with no Italian within 12 yds when he was 50 yds from the goal, sent a telegraphed and well read pass backwards to a man who ended up with an Italian right on top of him, this guy passed it even further back again as the Australian retreat continued, these maneuvers accomplished nothing, maybe Chipperfield was tired.1715 aus offensive efforts Viduka got the ball left outside corner of penalty box, with back to Italy goal, did his trademark slow successful turnaround which as usual resulted in defenders all over him, then he had to get rid of ball with a short pass, the defender on top of him shifted over to the pass recipient, stripped ball from Australian.1749 AUS conservative play on air ball-- Then a ball bounced out, slow, easy to handle, in the air, in direction of AUS player who was facing Italy goal 25 yds away from him. The game AUS played previous to this one, in that game again they were getting the ball time and space fairly close to the other team's goal1952 Italy has scoring chance italian hesitated on his charge of an air ball shot straight at goalie--as Gilardino jogged towards the AUS goal, in middle of field, 15 yds from AUS goal, luckily a lobbed ball, well headed by another Italian Luca Toni came right at him. This passing the ball to some team-mate who has his back to the other team's goal, a defender right on top of him and also does not have the skill to get the ball in the air into the aerial dribble when turning with it, might keep you from getting spanked by the dumb teacher but it does not score goals against Italy.2150 Italy has scoring chance, good offensive play, good play by goalie also.The mind boggling thing, is, how can AUS get the ball with time and space close to the opposing goal so often, and yet so rarely even come close to scoring a goal.The Australians appear to be some kind of imitation of the better teams, they try to finish off their offensive attempts the way the other teams try to finish them off, but they lack the individual finishing skills of the teams they imitate. linklinklinklinklinklinklinklinklink Even taking into account my train fare back to Newcastle and extra fuel, it's still cheaper!Seeing as I won't be able to do my review of the year, I thought I'd do my six-month review of the year!Overtime claimed due to late stabling because of signal failure:74 minutes(2005 = 723 minutes.)Overtime claimed due to late stabling because of drunks:18 minutes(2005 = 165 minutes.)Overtime due to incompetent signallers (this is where they put you into Ealing Broadway platform then simply forget about you, or leave you at a red signal for ages somewhere between Ealing Broadway and Ealing Common depot):128 minutes(2005 = 508 minutes.)Trains with broken windows:Zero!(2005 = 4.)Drunks unconscious on train at terminus requiring assistance either from BTP or other station staff:6 (4 since the World Cup started!)(2005 = 18.)Incorrect routes set for me by signaller:1(2005 = 5.)Number of near-misses (people trespassing or pretending to jump in front of me):Zero!(2005 = 4.)So you can see that things have improved since last year! I call the controller on the radio, he informs me to wait and the signal clears.On leaving Acton Town, I get held at the next signal, although the adjacent line is cleared (usually used by the Picc line). Signal clears.He holds me at the home signal to Ealing Broadway. The signaller tells me to wait for the signal and hangs up on me before I have chance to ask why he hasn't cleared for platform 9.Another few minutes pass, then the train in platform 7 departs. link Well...I often feel like a slack-ass and not because, I over-extended my lunch by 10 minutes reading so wise's best hits, but because, though I crack on the folk with the bougie black thing to-do list, that damn list is engrained in my psyche somewhere and we are constantly in a state of war. All my damn friends keep calling me with grow-folk good news, while my ass is still in grad school, living the undergrad life in a house in Jersey City with 2 roommates.My peeps, are kicking ass and taking names. In the last year:-5 people bought houses-6 people identified and decided to marry the love of their life-4 people got new cars and houses ( I have an unhealthy love for sports cars--so everytime I hear about my boy's RX-8 I look at the Ac like its an old piece of trash)-2 people are pregnant, one with multiples. linkThursday Thirteen banner by tnchickThirteen things about your blog: 7 that keep me coming back, 3 that make me pause, and 3 that say good-bye.Hello, I'm glad you're here says a1) A beautiful template2) with easy to read color combinations3) with few or no wiggles and jiggles4) and few or no ads5) and no appeals for money, even for a good cause6) more text than links7) with interesting, well-thought out ideas.Got some extra time on your hands says8) confusing registration procedures, and hidden comment links9) three squished columns that overlap10) teeny, tiny little clicks, blips and flips to turn a page.So long sister, this blog's not for you says11) a steady stream of profanity12) discussion of your sex life--even with your spouse13) music blaring with the volume button hidden, which starts all over when I try to leave a comment. linksweehjommelamabater

Penn State will likely struggle to score but the defense and ecstatic home crowd (I'll be in the house, something I found out this morning) should push Penn State over the top. If Penn State scores 24 points in any game this season, you can chalk it up as a Penn State victory. My prediction- L 21-1311/5 vs Wisconsin- W 27-17Wisconsin didn't score much against Penn State last season in Madison and a win here would make the Nittany Lions a shoe-in for a New Year's Day bowl game. My prediction- W 17-1311/19 at Michigan State- W 31-10I see the Spartans as a tad bit overrated head into 2005 but they always give Penn State trouble in East Lansing. Now I can easily see 8-3 with a loss to either Ohio State or Michigan State but the bottom line is that Penn State should be headed to Florida for a bowl this season. link As Marek Pawlowski points out, Nokia's business is in making handsets more than wireless networking equipment, and Cisco will be hard put to rationalize buying all of Nokia just to get its wireless infrastructure manufacturing business.Neither does such a deal appear to make a lot of sense for Nokia, which does not strike me as an overly enthusiastic acquisition target - at 34% of the world market, its handsets outsell those of the nearest competitor (Motorola/Samsung) by 2 to 1. linksweehjommelamabater
