Sending Prayers for South Carolina School Shooting
I was going on a break at work and scrolling through my feed on Facebook when I came across THIS story. As a parent who has lost a child, my heart sunk. So far there are not any confirmed deaths from this shooting but still the same the trauma is unimaginable for those involved. There was a death confirmed just miles from this location in a house. From what I am gathering this is possibly the parent to the teenager that came to the school shooting. It has been confirmed that they are connected.
These poor babies that had to witness this horror is so indescribable and confusing for them. The confusion, panic, fear and unknown is more than any one person should ever have to deal with no matter what the cause. I ask that everyone who is reading this to please stop for a moment and say a prayer for the children, the families, the faculty and the first responders in Townville, SC.
The trauma will last long after the day is over and will affect each and every person different. It has been 8 years since my daughter passed and I still have aftermath problems from it. This will be something that these families, staff, and first responders will live with for the rest of their lives. I pray that the children will be able to eventually forget what happened but only time will tell. Some will be really too young and will be able to forget it as others will not.
Please take a moment out of your day, say a prayer, hug your children, give thanks to GOD for getting you through another day. We are not promised tomorrow and we should be grateful for the now because it is the present and it is all we have.
Please take a moment to listen to those around you even if you are having a bad day for you may be just the person to talk someone out of doing a horrible thing that will forever change and alter everyone around them. Just because you may not think you can help change someone's life you should still take the time to stop and listen. Give a smile and a compliment to someone even if you do not know them for it may be just what they needed to make a bad day better.
We are more powerful than we give ourselves credit for in this big messed up world. Words can be greater to one person than another so please use them wisely. I googled this picture below because I had recently heard a saying about the tongue being stronger than a bone or something like that and wanted to share this with you.
This saying above is truer than anyone can imagine. There are some that words do not bother and there are some that the words literally cut them down to nothing. You can heal bones but once something is said, there is no going back. You may not be able to see the hurt and pain it causes on the outside and only when it is too late will we ever know how they have hurt.
So PLEASE stop what you're doing, say a prayer for these families, children, first responders and anyone else that is going through a difficult time. Stop what you are doing and hug your family. Stop and give Thanks to GOD for you being here no matter what you are going through because I promise you someone else is going through something much worse.

Ahmed Rashid on The Taliban
Ahmed Rashid is the author of the best-selling "Taliban: Militant Islam, Oil and Fundamentalism in Central Asia." As a correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review, Rashid has spent 20 years traveling with the Taliban and covering civil war in Afghanistan.
CNN: What can you tell us about Taliban defectors since the air strikes began?
RASHID: Taliban have not broken up or split, as many people expected. The hard core of the Taliban is very much in place, and they're resisting U.S. attacks, along with their ally, bin Laden. I think the reason for this is that there is no political alternative entity to which the Taliban can defect. The Taliban do not accept the Northern Alliance, because it is made up of non-Pashtuns. What is needed is an anti-Taliban resistance force in the south part of the country, and a political alternative backed by the Western alliance to give moderate Taliban a way out.
CHAT PARTICIPANT: What proportion of the Taliban forces are "moderate?" Basically, what percentage would be likely to defect?
RASHID: It's very difficult to give a figure, but essentially, the moderates are those Pashtun tribesmen who joined the Taliban later on. I call them "fellow travelers." They joined because the Taliban were winning, and it was convenient to join them. These fellow travelers are not ideologically committed the way that the hard-line Taliban are. They will switch sides when they see that the Taliban are losing. But again, I say that they need a political entity to switch sides to, and not enough international attention has been paid to helping create that alternative political entity.
CHAT PARTICIPANT: What does the word Taliban mean? Does the name in itself carry some significance? Finally, how do Afghans view the Taliban?
RASHID: Well, Taliban means "student of an Islamic seminary." The Talibs, or students of these schools, have existed for thousands of years. Traditionally, Islamic boys have gone to these schools, studying the Koran, Islamic law, in order to become preachers. The Taliban were also initially students at Islamic schools, studying at refugee camps in Pakistan. They took this name because it's a symbol of Islam, and a symbol of doing good, and bringing people around to an Islamic viewpoint, imposing law and order. It was a name that was initially very welcomed by many Afghan people.
CNN: How severe has the damage been to the Taliban camps?
RASHID: Well, the U.S. has been very selective in its bombing campaign so far. It has not bombed Taliban front line positions outside Kabul, for example, because it is trying to delay an attack on Kabul by the Northern Alliance. Only two days ago did it start bombing Taliban troop positions in the north of the country. So we expect this military campaign to go on for some time.
CHAT PARTICIPANT: Do you believe the Taliban have the military forces and accessories to fight a long war?
RASHID: Well, the Taliban are not going to fight a frontal war. They're more likely to break up into smaller guerilla units and try to harass U.S. forces on the ground, and also continue fighting the united front. I think the large Taliban units that still remain on the ground will soon break up, partly because of U.S. bombing, and partly because they'll adopt new tactics to resist the U.S. Special Forces that we hear have already been inducted into Afghanistan.
CHAT PARTICIPANT: What are the chances that China will supply the Taliban with weapons through the Iraqis?
RASHID: I think it's very unlikely. The Chinese are at the moment supporting the war against terrorism, although they would prefer that the U.S. action be taken under the auspices of the United Nations. China also faces a terrorist threat, because hundreds of Uighurs, or Chinese Muslims, who live in Western China and who are trying to create an independent Islamic state in Western China, have been trained by the Taliban and fight for the Taliban. China has generally oppressed very strongly any Uighur sentiment for independence, and China is clearly likely to use this war against terrorism to step up its own repression of the Uighurs.
CHAT PARTICIPANT: How do the old Mujahedeen commanders -- now in Peshawar -- view the Northern Alliance?
RASHID: The Pashtun commanders do not like the Northern Alliance at all, and many of them who fought the Soviets and then retired are trying to form an anti-Taliban force in the Pashtun belt, in southern Afghanistan. They want to create a counter-force to the Northern Alliance, and they also would like to form an alliance with the Northern Alliance. It will be very dangerous if the Northern Alliance capture Kabul on their own, without support from the Pashtun.
CHAT PARTICIPANT: Is the Taliban's main source of funding bin Laden and opium?
RASHID: Certainly, these are two of the sources of funding for the Taliban, but actually, the bigger source of funding before the war started were the taxes that the Taliban raised from the smuggling of consumer goods between Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia. My own estimate is that something like 60 percent of the Taliban budget, which is estimated at around $100 million a year, came from these smuggling sources. The rest probably came from opium and bin Laden.
CHAT PARTICIPANT: Why are they turning this into a "holy" war in the name of Islam, and why has such an extreme from of Islam become so popular?
RASHID: The Taliban did not start out with this ideology of global jihad. I think bin Laden has played a major role in influencing their ideology, and in persuading them that they have a major role to play in undermining Western countries and attacking America. The Taliban were initially extremely simple people who were not worldly-wise, and who in fact never really had a foreign policy for the first four years of their existence. It's only when bin Laden met up with the Taliban in 1996 and 1997 that you see the rhetoric of the Taliban change to one of global jihad.
CNN: Do you have any closing comments for us today?
RASHID: I think the main issue at the moment, to try to bring this war to an early end, is the formation of a broad-based multi-ethnic government in Kabul, based around the effort of the former king, Zahir Shah. And the international community must have a political strategy that must be in line with its military strategy. At present we have an aggressive military strategy, but no aggressive political strategy by the U.S.
CNN: Thank you for joining us today, Ahmed Rashid.
RASHID: Thank you so much.
Ahmed Rashid joined the chat room via telephone from Lahore, Pakistan and CNN.com provided a typist. This is an edited transcript of the interview, which took place on Friday, October 19, 2001 at 11:00 am ET.

A Step By Step Guide to Make Your Blog Popular
When it comes to making money blogging, you have to keep two things in mind. One, the connections you have online and the other is how much hard work you put towards making your blog successful.
So who else wants to make their blogs and websites popular? Hands down, almost everyone is trying to get attention in this lousy blogosphere. If you are a new blogger it might be bit hard for you to get more shares, comments and links to your posts.
But when you gain connections and start knowing other people, it becomes easy for you to make your blog popular. The key here is to be consistent with your efforts and don't give up too soon.
Here is the detailed guide on (I must say an easy step by step guide) on making your blog popular and profitable.
Table of Contents
How to make your blog popular?
Step 1: Start with readers
Focus on your readers first. Without readers, there's no way you can build a popular blog.
If you just focus on getting more page views or traffic, you can't build a highly popular blog or website. Sure, you may get more income if you have multiple authors updating your blogs and websites each and every day but it doesn't mean you will become an authority in your industry.
People pay you, not traffic. People buy from you, they share your posts not search engine crawlers. So when you are new to blogging, instead of focusing on SEO related stuff, focus on user interaction.
Try to figure out what all problems they have, ask them, create surveys, use your email lists etc. to know their frustrations.
Step 2: Make sure to stand out with your content
Focus on solving your readers problems one at a time. You simply can't give solutions all at once. You have to brainstorm the ideas, come up with great solutions and write them on your blog posts.
Only then you will be able to grab more people attention over time. Remember it's the consistency that keeps you going in the long run, you need to be patient when building a popular blog.
The major difference between a successful and failure blog is the CONTENT. You see, whenever you read a popular blog in your niche, you will always find solutions to your problems. So whenever they launch something on their blogs be it paid or free stuff, you will definitely consider using it, right?
That's why it is very important to focus on giving better user experience through your content.
Social media influencers like Jane Sheeba, Ileane Smith, Zac Johnson, Ann Smartyetc. can immensely help you in your business.
But you need to remember that, you should not build relationships just for the sake of getting huge benefits from them. Instead focus on offering massive value to them, help them to grow their audience, then overtime they will also help you.
Here are few ways to help the influencers before getting help from them.
- Find broken links on their websites and let them know
- Share their blog posts on social media sites
- Comment on their blog posts and
- Often send friendly emails to get in touch
- Ask if there is any chance to guest post on their blogs
Add share buttons to your blog, but no more than 3 to 4. Using more social sharing buttons on your blog posts only piss your readers off to share your contents. If you are new to blogging and want to get more social shares, then give less options to share. It always works in getting more social shares.
Step 4: Create a hook and build your email list
Want to know the surefire way to leverage your blog traffic for success?
Turn first time visitors into repeating visitors.
How can you do that? Build an email list that is responsive. Without building a list of email subscribers, you really can't make your blog popular. After all, you have to make few people to listen to what you have to say.
Then and only then they will be able to care about your stuff and buy your products. Only using email list, you can build strong relationships with your subscribers. If you have great connections with them, it becomes easy for you to make more sales either from affiliate marketing or your own products.
Always remember that people don't buy from strangers especially in online business. So you have to gain trust and build rapport to make them buy. Building email list is the best option to do that.
Step 5: Making money is not a rocket science
Do you know why most successful bloggers are so profitable and making a living from their websites?
The reason is they are selling something from their websites and helping them to make passive income. That means they are making money even when they are sleeping!
There are basically two ways to make money by selling stuff.
- Making money by selling others products (affiliate marketing)
- Making money by selling your own products (eBooks, videos, podcasts etc.)
Making money from affiliate marketing is not a rocket science, you need to learn how to sell. If you are a beginner and finding it hard to make money from affiliate marketing, don't lose hopes.
Just focus on how can you help your readers by selling relevant products, write genuine reviews and offer them something for free when they buy from your links. You will definitely notice the best results then.
You can also make money by selling your own products like eBooks (ex: Problogger.net), videos (ex: bodybuilding sites), plugins (ex: WP beginner) etc.
Make sure you are providing huge value to your audience, and build a great network that helps you make money from your products. If people don't find any real value in your products, it will eventually turn down your online reputation as well as money.
Step 6: Gain more exposure
Promotion is the key to make your blog popular. Let me ask you a few questions before knowing the importance of promoting your blogs and websites.
- What's the use of writing too many blog posts if you don't get any comments or shares?
- Why write for people when no one buys from you?
The bottom line is, you have to make more people to read your stuff. Ultimately reaching RIGHT people with your content is the key to make more money from your websites. If no one reads your blog means you won't be able to make your blog successful and making money only seems impossible.
So promote your blog to get wider reach and attention. Here are few simple ways to get started.
- Use blogging forums to promote your blog posts.
- Leave thoughtful and funny comments on other sites to get others attention
- Write guest posts that are of highly quality to gain more attention from other people to read your blogs
Conclusion: If you are willing to build a popular blog, start with the audience first. Try to get more interaction from them, then use your social networks to reach more audience.
Here are the 3 goals to consider before making your site a success.
- Standing out from the crowd
- Getting more exposure back to your websites
- Making money by helping people
So what are your favorite ways to build a highly reputed blog? Please share your views in the comments.

In early September Richard, Sam and Holly Branson, accompanied by Princess Beatrice and other founders of Big Change took on Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe to launch their startup charity.
Big Change Charitable Trust has been set up by a group of friends to help identify and support projects that improve the lives of young people in the UK. It works in partnership with charitable initiatives that inspire and encourage young people to be the very best that they can be.
To raise money and launch their charity, the Big Change team took to the mountains to scale Mont Blanc: The Big Climb.
The Branson trio were joined by fellow Big Change founders Isabella Calthorpe (Sam's fiancée), Sam Richardson, Phil Nevin and Princess Beatrice.
The team have worked together before and Big Change really began when they completed the 2010 Virgin London Marathon (breaking a Guinness World Record in the process) tied together as a giant caterpillar.
However, the Big Climb represented a completely different challenge. Mont Blanc rises 4,810m above sea level and the team were warned that only half of them were likely to make the summit. The team used the Big Change mantras to help them on their way: courage, determination, friendship and ambition and in the end seven out of the eight climbers successfully summitted. Sam Richardson had been battling with altitude sickness all week and despite his brave efforts on summit day, didn't make it to the top.
On reaching the top Princess Beatrice said: "The summit was like a dream. It was so overwhelming I began to cry with joy for making it to this magical world at the top of Europe."
Unfortunately the way down wasn't quite as much fun, as she explained: "I was tired and the altitude bought my feelings to the surface. I broke down in tears and truly didn't know if I was going to get down.
"I have never felt such joy and excitement or such a sense of achievement."
There is still time to sponsor the team.

Wow, Palin abuses her power to fire a state trooper, woop-dee-doo. I am more concerned about individuals believing in Obama and his false messages. The issues he preaches are the identical thing all politicians preach, but it is not often ever exercised or approached. The one time they get one thing accomplished is when it is to late, identical to our economy. Do not believe in Obama and HIS agenda as a result of it's all about energy to him. He'll lead this country into extra termoil and with a name like Barrack Hussien Obama, it could be a shame to this country. I've never seen so much junk mail from the Obama campaigne and now he's buying up primetime and to me he is just trying to brainwash folks into pondering his is the chosen one. He's nothing, but a younger lawyer who feeds on his own egotistic way of life while blinding his supporters with garbage.
You'll be able to't hearth somebody by permitting surrogates to stress somebody. That is unnecessary at all. The firing was technically authorized, in response to the report. "Knowingly permitting her surrogates to use pressure on him" is a associated however distinct motion on Palin's half. It is this action which was illegal, in accordance with the report. I am going to stress that last half – ACCORDING TO THE REPORT. Palin has proven herself a shameless liar, as a result of she would not just say, "I disagree with the report's findings," she claims the report says the alternative of what it actually does, and hopes no one will notice.

Essential Guidelines On Making Alfredo Sauce
You can have a homemade Alfredo sauce with merely a few recipes, thirty minutes, and a little of knowledge. This will be use to throw with your fettuccine or utilize in various inventive methods. It's not easy to consider that only 3 ingredients, salt and pepper, can result in such a superb sauce. This formula produces sufficient sauce to serve with eight ounces of pasta or 4 main-dish portions.
How to make Alfredo Sauce
Initially, you will need these ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup whipping cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, and more for dusting over the ultimate dish, if preferred.
You can make use of pre-grated Parmesan cheese yet it won't have the well-defined, concentrated freshness of cheese that you shred at home just before you use it. Dissolve the butter over medium heat in a 3-quart saucepan . Ensure the butter does not brown as one of the trademarks of this sauce is its velvety white color. Cautiously pour the cream into the saucepan with the softened butter. Then add salt and pepper to taste. Take the butter-cream concoction to boiling. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook the sauce lightly until it starts to condense. Blending regularly with a wooden spoon. This will obtain 3 to 5 minutes. Take out the pan from the heat and whisk the Parmesan cheese.
Be certain the pan is off the heat, as high heat can stimulate cheese to thicket or turn into chewy instead of melting smoothly. Keep on whisking until the cheese is integrated into the sauce. Your sauce is now set to throw with pasta or use as preferred. To dish up with pasta, toss the sauce with 8 ounces of sizzling cooked, drained pasta fettuccine is conventional and holds the sauce satisfactorily with its long threads, however almost any pasta will work excluding small shapes. Move the sauced pasta to a warm serving dish and serve right away. If preferred, dust with extra Parmesan cheese and/or top with sliced fresh Italian parsley. Alfredo sauce goes well wherever a thick, velvety sauce is needed.

History of the Universe eBook. 398 pages, 300 illustrations only $2.99
AUTOLYCUS OF PITANE, Greek mathematician and astronomer, probably flourished in the second half of the 4th century B.C., since he is said to have instructed Arcesilaus. His extant works consist of two treatises; the one, Περὶ κινουμένης σφαίρας, contains some simple propositions on the motion of the sphere, the other, Περὶ ἐπιτολῶν καὶ δύσεων, in two books, discusses the rising and setting of the fixed stars. The former treatise is historically interesting for the light it throws on the development which the geometry of the sphere had already reached even before Autolycus and Euclid (see Theodosius of Tripolis).
There are several Latin versions of Autolycus, a French translation by Forcadel (1572), and an admirable edition of the Greek text with Latin translation by F. Hultsch (Leipzig, 1885).

Head, neck and oral cancers account for just 3 percent of all cancer in the U.S. and can be hard to spot — with some symptoms feeling like a common cold. Dr. Abhinand Peddada, radiation oncologist with the Renown Institute for Cancer, explains more.
The signs of head, neck and oral cancers can be difficult to detect without a medical professional, since some symptoms mimic the common cold. We asked Abhinand Peddada, M.D., radiation oncologist with the Renown Institute for Cancer, to break down the symptoms and lifestyle risks of these rare cancers.
First off, what are some of the signs and symptoms people should be aware of?
Symptoms can vary based on where the cancer is. For example, throat cancer may show up as a persistent sore throat, while sinus cancer may present as soreness or pressure in the sinuses that doesn't get better.
Some other symptoms to watch may include:
- Swelling in the throat
- Painless swelling in the neck
- Red or white patches in the throat
- Hoarseness
- Bloody noses or blood in the mucus or saliva
- A new and unexplained lump or bump anywhere on the face, neck, mouth or throat
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty swallowing, chewing or moving the muscles in your face, neck, mouth or throat
- Bad breath, even with good oral hygiene
- Loose teeth
- Dentures or retainers that no longer fit
- Double vision
Who is most at risk for head, neck and oral cancers?
Both men and women can develop head, neck and oral cancers, but men are at almost twice the risk of women. People over the age of 40 are also at a higher risk, and these cancers tend to be more common in African Americans.
Tobacco use — including cigarettes, cigars, pipes and chewing tobacco — is another risk factor. Tobacco is linked to 85 percent of head and neck cancers. Exposure to fumes and chemicals can increase your risk as well.
We're also seeing more HPV-related head and neck cancers in the U.S., so patients with HPV may want to watch more closely for symptoms.
What about screening and prevention?
Your dentist already looks for signs and symptoms at your regular dental checkups. Additionally, if you have one of these risk factors and are experiencing signs and symptoms, it's a good idea to check with your doctor about possible screenings.
To help prevent these types of cancers, try to minimize your controllable risk factors. This means quitting tobacco, watching your alcohol consumption and taking care of your oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly.
We also recommend the HPV vaccination for both boys and girls starting at age 11. By vaccinating at an earlier age, one is less likely to develop oral HPV.
What do diagnosis and treatment look like for these cancers?
At Renown Institute for Cancer we offer the most advanced diagnostic testing available including fiberoptic photos, CT and PET scans, as well as MRIs.
Together, you and your care team will decide which treatment best fits your needs. For these types of cancers, treatment options include radiation, chemotherapy and surgery.
To learn more about the Renown Institute for Cancer, visit renown.org/cancer or call 775-982-4000.

French cyclist Cedric Vasseur is the winner of the 10th stage of the Tour de France, and Denmark's Michael Rasmussen holds on to the leader's yellow jersey.
This was the 36-year-old Vasseur's first stage win in cycling's biggest race since 1997 and he becomes the first French rider to win a stage in this year's tour. Vasseur outsprinted four other cyclists in a breakaway group to finish Wednesday's 230-kilometer ride in five hours, 20 minutes, 24 seconds.
His compatriot Sandy Casar was second and Swiss rider Michael Albasini was third. Casar, Albasini, fourth-placed Frenchman Patrice Halgand and German Jens Voigt, in fifth place, were all credited with the same time.
Rassmussen finished in the main pack, 10 minutes 36 seconds behind the leaders. His advantage halfway through the 20-stage race remains two minutes, 35 seconds ahead of Spain's Alejandro Valverde. Another Spaniard, Iban Mayo, is third - another four seconds back.
The top American Levi Leipheimer is ninth, three minutes, 53 seconds off the pace.
The day started with the announcement by the German cycling federation that T-Mobile rider Patrik Sinkewitz tested positive for high levels of testosterone from samples taken on June 8, one month before the Tour de France.
He had already pulled out of the Tour after colliding with a spectator on Sunday. He has been suspended by his team, and his contract will be terminated should his "B" sample also test positive.
Because of the development, two German public television stations which have been broadcasting the Tour, ZDF and ARD, said they were dropping their coverage "until further notice."
Some information for this report provided by AP.

Oct 13 (Reuters) - Shares of U.S. commodities trader Bunge Ltd surged on Friday after the Wall Street Journal reported that Glencore PLC had a standstill agreement that temporarily prevents the Swiss company from making a hostile bid for Bunge.
Bunge had rebuffed a takeover approach by Glencore in May. Speculation has swirled for months that Glencore would make another takeover approach. The standstill agreement suggests it is still interested in a deal and may be only biding its time, the newspaper said.
The standstill agreement, in which Glencore agreed with Bunge not to buy any more Bunge shares or make an unsolicited takeover approach, expires early next year, it said, citing sources.
Glencore declined to comment on the story. Bunge did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
A string of poor results by large multinational grain trading companies has whetted investors' appetite for an industry consolidation.
Large grain traders have struggled in recent years as a global oversupply and thin trading margins have squeezed their core commodity trading operations, including those of Bunge and rivals Archer Daniels Midland Co, Cargill Inc and Louis Dreyfus Co.
The companies, known as the ABCD quartet of grain trading giants, have also been facing stiff competition from rivals like Glencore that are seeking to expand agriculture units and gain a greater foothold in the key production areas such as the United States and South America.
Bunge shares were up 6.7 percent at $72.36 on Friday afternoon. Glencore shares rose 2.4 percent to 376.68 pence. (Reporting by Karl Plume in Chicago, additional reporting by Barbara Lewis in London; Editing by Andrew Hay)

It's never too late to find true love. A 72-year-old man married a 27-year-old woman in China earlier this year. The age gap is so wide that he is even older than his mother-in-law by six years. However, the young wife was the one who proposed. This recent photo shows the happy couple with their baby.
Their unusual story began in the summer of 2001 when Fong's father got a stroke. Fong's family was very poor and could not afford regular hospital care. Wen knew something about medical care and started to help take care of Fong's father. Since Wen was a widower, it became easier for him to room and board at Fong's house. At that time, Fong was only 15. However, Fong apparently had some childhood psychological trauma and had frequent headaches and cramps, so Wen also helped take care of her.
Fong's father passed away in 2006, and Wen continued to live at Fong's house to help Fong. They came to rely on each other for support. When Fong's condition gradually stabilized a few years later, her family decided it was time for her to marry. Wen also felt it was time for him to leave.
However, Fong had developed feelings for Wen. She felt that Wen was the only man who could make her feel secure. She refused the marriage offer, went to Wen and said, "I want to live with you and take care of you." She was 23 and Wen was already 68.
Wen refused at first. He didn't like their 45-year age gap and was concerned about how her family would react. Fong didn't care. She simply moved in. In December of 2012, Fong became pregnant and wanted to keep the baby. They got married and the baby was born in August 2013. They believed that the baby was a blessing from heaven and named him Tian Tian, as Tian means heaven in Chinese.
Seeing how happy Wen and Fong are together, Fong's mother is not against their marriage anymore. Wen's 42-year old daughter is also happy that there's someone nice taking care of her father. When the baby reached 100 days of age, everyone celebrated in a party held according to Chinese custom. Wen said, "This is the happiest moment in my life."
Perhaps Fong said it best in describing their marriage, "We don't have wild romance. We just live an ordinary life, and this is happiness."

MasterChef Junior's Top Two on Seeing Themselves on TV and What They Do When They're Not Cooking
"YouTube, YouTube, and YouTube. Every day."
Though the season-three finale of Fox's MasterChef Junior doesn't air until tonight, filming has long since ended and life has largely returned to normal for its remaining two contestants. Twelve-year-old Andrew Zappley and 13-year-old Nathan Odom took time out of their busy school schedules to talk to Vulture about what they've learned about life and what they do on the internet.
When you're home in your kitchen, are you following a lot of recipes or are you doing more creation? More experimentation?
Nathan Odom: I've been doing a lot of experimentation since I went on the show and learned a bit more. Before the show, I used to think, If I don't follow a recipe, it won't turn out nice. I was really surprised to learn that sometimes it does turn out okay, and that the best way to find something that works is through experimenting with it.
Andrew Zappley: I never use a recipe. I don't like recipes. I don't like the small print on recipes. I don't like the old cookbooks that fall apart and you have to go find the pages, which is the next part of the recipe. I don't like recipes at all. I most likely know the recipe in my head, and if I don't, then I'll experiment with it. About a week and a half ago I made homemade empanada dough, and I didn't have a recipe for that. I just did cold butter, really cold butter, it has to be cold or [the empanada] wouldn't be flaky, and flour, and I used the pastry cutter and a little bit of cold water and I made my own dough.
Where do you get your inspiration from? How do you decide, "Oh, I really want to learn how to make this, let's figure it out"?
NO: I would say the internet is definitely a pretty big part of what I want to make at home. But I feel like my family's historical background definitely adds a little bit of, What should I make?
Can you tell me more about your family's background?
NO: My mom is Mexican and my dad's Italian, and it's a pretty interesting combination, but it also provides a lot of experience in serving interesting cuisine combinations.
Fantastic. How about you, Andrew? Where are you pulling that inspiration from?
AZ: Well, my family's heritage is Italian, it comes from my dad's side of the family, but my mom is Irish and German, although I don't cook too much cuisine other than Italian-American. My dad is a pretty good cook. I wouldn't say he's MasterChef–worthy, but he's definitely not Worst Cooks in America–worthy. He's the average dad who's a cook. But not my mom. She used to make chicken nuggets and they were like breaded rocks. What she would do is she would bread them, put them in the oven, go watch an episode or two of, like, Desperate Housewives or Long Island Medium (that show is terrible), then come back and they were dry, and just serve it to us. I really didn't like that. Even my signature dish is based off of that dish, but totally elevated to, like, ten notches ahead of that. But my inspiration comes from being Italian. If you're Italian and you don't know how to cook, then you're not Italian.
When you were both on the show, you had to spend some time away from your families. What are your families like, and what did you miss most about them?
NO: I was up there [Los Angeles] filming with my mom, so it was nice to have at least part of my family there, but I really missed being able to talk to my grandma and hanging out with my dad, who's the jokester of the family. It was definitely less lively than it usually is at home, but it was still really fun.
AZ: Well, I was in California with my dad, and at some point we got to Skype an "old" family member for advice on cooking. I Skyped my aunt. She has no culinary knowledge whatsoever, but she's still my aunt. I talked to my mom on the phone every day because I was with my dad, but there was really nothing about home that I missed except for my cat. I love my cat.
That's actually really interesting. Do you both have pets?
AZ: Well, I like to say my brother's a dog, but he's not.
I'm sure he appreciates that.
AZ: He's like a big wolf. But my cat is a year and a half old and she's crazy. At 1 a.m. she's running around, hopping up, scratching the walls. She's crazy but I still love her.
Nathan, do you have any pets?
NO: I have a dachshund named Hedwig, but that's pretty much it.
I would assume that as you get older, the plan is to pursue a culinary career. But if you decided to keep food as just a hobby, what could you see yourself doing for the rest of your life?
AZ: I could definitely see myself being a race-car driver. I like racing. But being a chef is most likely, I'm almost 100 percent sure that I'm going to be a chef because after this whole experience I just love cooking. I come home from school, I cook every day. This is what I like to do, so it's most likely going to be cooking, but if it's not, I'll be a race-car driver.
NO: Well, cooking is definitely one of my No. 1 hobbies, and if I wanted to pursue that, I'd probably want to be a pastry chef. But outside of that, I really do like playing music, and I feel like I'd be able to pursue a career in that.
I know that you're from New Jersey [Andrew] and California [Nathan], respectively. What is your favorite thing about your hometown?
NO: I would say my favorite thing about my hometown is definitely how relaxed it is. People often say that in San Diego it's hard to get stuff done because everyone's really lazy and chill about it. So I'd say it's definitely really interesting to have that kind of environment when you're doing artwork and things like that.
AZ: West Deptford is a good hometown, not that many people know [of it]. I think I put West Deptford on the map. There's nothing big about it because it's a really small town, but there are major cities nearby, like Philadelphia, and the Delaware River. There are sites that were part of the Revolutionary War, so there's a lot of battlefield areas around our house. Our neighbors are the best, and they love when I go over to their house and cook for them. It's really cool.
Obviously you guys love cooking and that's your main hobby, but when you're not funneling all of your energy into cooking, what do you spend most of your time doing? Outside of school, obviously.
NO: Outside of school and cooking, I'm on the internet a lot, doing social media and stuff like that. But I'm also a really big fan of doing crafts and little DIY projects that I see on Pinterest.
Do you have something you're working on right now?
NO: I haven't been working on anything lately that isn't food-related because I've been really into that, but I do a lot of DIY.
Andrew, how are you spending your time?
AZ: Like Nathan, I'm on the internet a lot. I like YouTube, always searching up new episodes of TV shows. I was selected for the National Junior Honor Society, so what I do is study a lot and learn new things. I think that's cool, looking up different facts. And some things are even about cooking that we learn in class, and some of my classmates are amazed I know these things. That's what I like to do.
Well, congratulations. That's very impressive. But, of course, I'm going to bring it back to TV. What are your favorite TV shows?
AZ: I really like Cutthroat Kitchen. That's one of my all-time favorite shows. Gordon Ramsay shows are really fun. I think they're funny. I don't think he's necessarily being mean, I think he's doing it for TV, and it's really funny, the things that he says. I like SpongeBob. I never seem to grow out of that, I just love that show.
Nathan, I know you really like playing music. Do you play a particular instrument?
NO: I play a lot of string instruments in orchestra, like the viola and cello.
Awesome. Do you have a favorite?
NO: I think my favorite instrument is probably the cello.
Do you like a lot of music? Is it mostly classical, or are you into more popular music as well?
NO: I'm really more into classical, but I do like some modern music.
And who's your favorite classical artist?
NO: It's really tough to say, but I'd have to say, at the moment, my favorite artist is probably Bach.
Andrew, I know you collect vintage game systems. What is your favorite and why?
AZ: Well, I do collect vintage game systems. I put an Instagram post up today to see if anyone could guess my top three in order. My favorite would probably be old Nintendo games because I like Mario and Super Mario Kart and all these old games, because it's really cool to see how it used to be. It's what I like to do.
Do you like any modern game systems, or do you stick mostly to the classics?
AZ: I have every one. I like the old ones, but I also like the newer ones because sometimes 8-bit graphics get really old and I want to see some new things, so I would play something maybe like a racing game or something that's newer. Or maybe the same type of game but a newer version.
Right. Like how they keep coming up with new Super Smash Bros.
AZ: I love that game. It's really fun.
NO: Same.
You both spend a lot of time on the internet. What are the top three sites that you visit on a regular basis?
NO: I would say my top three sites are probably Tumblr, YouTube, and Reddit.
AZ: My top three would have to be YouTube, YouTube, and YouTube. Every day.
Sure! YouTube has everything. Why not?
AZ: Maybe, like Nathan said, there are cool things on Reddit and Pinterest.
Being on the show must have been such a huge experience. What was it like to sit in your homes and watch yourself on TV? Was it a little surreal?
NO: It was definitely really crazy seeing myself on TV because when you're actually in the moment, you never get a full grasp of what the situation looks like and what you look like in someone else's perspective. It was really fun to re-watch everything that happened to me.
AZ: It was definitely crazy. That was definitely the right word to use. There's little clips of me saying these things, and my mom's laughing, like, "What? Did you say that?" Accomplishing all of the things that I did, winning all those challenges, it's cool to see myself on TV. We have viewing parties at our school, and I don't really realize how many people are watching. I think it's just me and the TV. I never really realize that I'm actually on TV.
Because so much more gets filmed than ever makes it on TV, does it ever feel like a story is being created that you weren't necessarily expecting to see? Are you ever surprised by anything you see in an episode?
NO: Watching the show back is really interesting because a lot of the key points that I remember are showcased in the show, but sometimes I remember tiny little things that, when I don't see them, makes me think of the whole story that we went through a lot [differently]. It's not necessarily a bad thing to see that, but it's definitely a different experience than actually being there.
AZ: I absolutely remember everything that happens, watching it on the show, although I was mainly focused on my own dish. But there were a lot of things that they didn't show that I do remember. In the restaurant takeover, they didn't show that there were more fires on the red team. There are many things that they don't show, but altogether, you could still get a grasp for how it went. But I think sometimes it's good to not have them.
As you're sitting there watching yourself, especially if you're watching it in mixed company, has there been a moment where you said or did something, and it was filmed, and you wished you could take it back?
AZ: [Quietly] Yeah.
NO: I'll admit, during the restaurant takeover, I was surprised at how sassy I apparently was during the episode. [Laughs.] That was really interesting to watch back.
What was the most important thing that you learned about yourself being on the show?
NO: I learned that I'm a lot better at baking than I am at cooking. And I also learned that when I grow up, I don't want to cook on the line in a high-stress environment.
AZ: I definitely learned a lot about myself. I learned that your teachers always say that practice makes perfect, and it's absolutely true. You may think, Oh, she's just saying that, but practice does make perfect. I also learned how confident I am. Sometimes I got overconfident, but I still had to keep the humbleness to be there because in a team challenge, maybe there would be somebody I wouldn't want to work with, but you still have to be respectful, no matter who they are. They're a good cook, too. It doesn't matter if you're better than them, [though] I think we were all on the same level of cooking. We were all really good. We all had things we were good at, and we had our pros and cons. But that would definitely be something I learned.
And if you had one piece of advice to give — not just to kids, but to anyone — what would it be? What did you learn about life in general from this experience?
AZ: Something that I learned about life in general that I could tell anyone would be, if you're not good at it, then practice makes perfect. Any age. You could be 100, you could be 40, 45, 50, it doesn't matter. You're never too old to accomplish your dreams. You could be 100 and if you want to open up a restaurant, if you're going to die in a year and you want to open up that restaurant, then go open up it up. I'm sure you're going to get lots of people that are going to come to that restaurant. It doesn't matter. It's never too late to go and try things.
NO: I would say the biggest thing I took away from the show is definitely to go with your gut. That can be used in a lot of situations today, with pretty much any job. If something seems like it isn't going right, don't just wave it off. Try and fix it the best that you can.

Winter storms in the form of blizzards, heavy snows, ice storms, freezing rain, or sleet
can be a serious hazard to people in many parts of the country. The first line of protection
is to KEEP POSTED ON WEATHER CONDITIONS in the surrounding area through television, radio,
and newspaper.
A few hours of warning of a storm can be the key to avoiding being caught in it, or at least
to be better prepared to cope with it. To take full advantage of weather forecasts and
warnings, learn and understand terms commonly used:
Be prepared for isolation at home. If you live in a rural area, make sure you could survive at
home for a week or two in case a storm isolated you making it impossible for you to leave.
You should:
Know how to use your emergency heating and lighting equipment safely to prevent fire or dangerous
fumes. Use only safety listed equipment. Never introduce a fuel into a unit not designed for that
fuel. Proper ventilation is essential. Burning charcoal gives off deadly amounts of carbon monoxide.
Travel only if necessary. Avoid all unnecessary trips. If you must travel, use public
transportation if possible. However, if you are forced to use your automobile for a trip of any
distance, take these precautions:
If your car breaks down during a storm, or if you become stalled or lost, don't panic. Think the problem through, decide
what's the safest and best thing to do, and then do it slowly and carefully. If you are on a well-traveled road, show a
trouble signal. Set your directional lights to flashing, raise the hood of your car, or hang a cloth from the radio antenna
or a car window. Then stay in your car and wait for help to arrive. If you run the engine to keep warm, remember to open a
window enough to provide ventilation and protect you from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Wherever you are, if there is no house or other source of help in sight, do not leave your car to search for assistance,
as you may become confused and get lost.
Avoid overexertion. Every winter many unnecessary deaths occur because people - especially older persons, but
younger ones as well - engage in more strenuous physical activity than their bodies can stand. Cold weather itself, without
any physical exertion, puts an extra strain on your heart. If you add to this physical exercise, especially exercise that
you are not accustomed to - such as shoveling snow, pushing an automobile, or even walking fast or far - you are risking a
heart attack, a stroke, or damage to your body. In winter weather, and especially in winter storms, be aware of this danger,
and avoid overexertion.
