Protecting the ozone layer. Yesterday was the International Day for the protection of the ozone layer - a rather unobtrusive celebration for an issue that is still significant. This year marks the 20th anniversary to control the production and the use of ozone-depleting substances. As a result of the protocol, there was a 90% drop in the 1986-2001 period in the global use of CFCs. However, developing countries have only decreased their use of CFCs by 15% with some alarming repercussions. [stat.si] [buanews online] [UN environment programme]
Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink. Never a truer word said in jest. Whilst the Cape's dams may be overflowing and residents have, no doubt, already thrown caution to the wind and foregone all water saving initiatives, Limpopo's dam levels are causing concern. They have decreased at an alarming rate due to low summer rainfalls and 25% of 44 major dams are below the 40% mark. [IOL] And in Gauteng, some rivers in and around Jo'burg are so toxic, they could kill you - the Cheetah bridge in Alexandra shows E.coli levels of 2,4-million per 100ml, 240 times the acceptable level of 10 000 per 100ml.

Biofuel the reason for escalating food prices? The global demand by wealthy nations for 'environmentally friendly' biofuels [urban sprout] could be partially to blame for the rise of food in South Africa by almost 14% in the last year, according to analysts at the National Agriculture Marketing Council.

Africa prepares for the impact of climate change. Nepad's environmental action plan states: "Africa is characterised by two interrelated features: rising poverty levels and deepening environmental degradation ... poverty remains the main cause and consequence of environmental degradation and resource depletion in Africa. Without significant improvement in the living conditions and livelihoods of the poor, environmental policies and programmes will achieve little success." [M&G]...

Cape Town starts to mainstream recycling – at last! With the pressure mounting due to a shortage of landfill sites, CT starts a 'separation at source' initiative in certain areas on 13 August that will help reduce the 6000 odd tons of waste the city produces a day. Clear plastic bags, delivered to your door, will cater for dry waste – paper, cardboard, plastic containers, bags, bottles, glass and tin cans. [capetown.gov]
No more blackouts for sunny SA. If we took a leaf out of Israel's book – almost every home is equipped with solar panels for use in heating water – we wouldn't be facing further threats of blackouts from Eskom. Harnessing solar power, in a country that has more than its fair share of sunshine, makes more sense than nuclear power. Yet, to date we've committed R12-billion on the design and construction of the PBMR – nuclear energy which is neither clean nor cheap! [cooltech.iafrica] A surprise, then, that Eskom is spearheading a solar water heater drive. [urban sprout]
Death to Ronald McDonald. Proposed food regulations could see a major clampdown on junk food, and include banning adverts, cartoons and toys aimed at enticing children to eat junk food and unhealthy snacks. These same proposals also aim to put a stop to fake nutrition claims. [IOL]

Sasol reduces its impact on the environment. Sasol's nitrous oxide (N2O) abatement project will convert the greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide, into harmless nitrogen and oxygen gases. As a result, the project will earn Sasol a significant number of carbon credits, which they intend investing in local community-based sustainable development projects. Sasol expects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to about a million tons of carbon dioxide a year. If it's possible to congratulate an oil company for green measures, then this is the time to do it! [sagoodnews]
Green scorpions poised to pounce on Mittal. The government has released a damning report detailing environmental legislation contraventions and non-compliance at ArcelorMittal's Vereeniging plant. Their main contraventions include dumping of hazardous waste on a prohibited site and significant pollution of surface and groundwater with phenols, iron, oil, fluoride and other hazardous substances. [IOL]
Which cars damage the environment the most. The Swiss government has decided to name and shame by drawing up a list of about 6 000 cars, ranking them on the damage they cause to the environment. According to the list, the least polluting car is Toyota's Prius, with 76 points. Among the worst polluters are the Nissan Patrol (919), the Ford Transit (858) and the VW T5 (842). [swissinfo.org]
British consumers won't pay more tax to help the environment. In a reflection of the attitudes expressed in the recent survey by HSBC that developed countries are less concerned about global warming than developing ones, 50% of Brits are not prepared to help combat environmental issues. [IOL]

SA – increasing pollution and declining air quality. SA's 2nd national State of the Environment's 800-page report has just been released by the national department of environmental affairs and tourism, and it isn't pretty. Despite SA having made 'significant progress' in environmental management, natural resources are being exploited in an unsustainable way, water quality is declining as is the aquatic ecosystem's health, land degradation continues, and commercial and recreational fish species are overexploited. [IOL] Time to start taking action! For more about The SA Environment Outlook 2006 report.
Greenhouses in the sky. In a fantastic new take on farming, Dr Dickson Despommier introduces the concept of vertical farming in glass covered skyscrapers in the heart of cities made of titanium oxide-plated glass with giant solar panels, hydroponic irrigation systems and an abundant variety of crops. This creation of a sustainable urban environment uses no fossil fuels and leaves no carbon footprint; waste water can be used and purified into drinking water and the need for toxic pesticides will be eliminated. We like it! [IOL]
McDonald's recycles cooking oil to power its delivery vehicles. McDonald's says it could save 1.5 million gallons of petrol by converting the cooking oil from its 1,200 restaurants in Britain into biodiesel, and that by switching their fleets to biodiesel they will prevent the emission of 1,675 tons of carbon per year. Hmmm, at the same time their switch to a mix of rapeseed oil and Spanish sunflower oil (imported) for cooking has caused a nationwide shortage of rapeseed oil as they 'pretty much buy up the whole crop'.

London is carbon crazy. The consciousness about carbon is sky high in the UK capital. From the bid to provide 'carbon footprint' labels on all consumer goods; Walkers Snacks carbon labelling on its products; the announcement by Tesco in January that it would assign a carbon label to every product on its shelves through to Marks & Spencer's plans to be carbon neutral by 2012. Even the Mayor, Ken livingstone, has vowed to reduce the city's carbon emissions by 60% within 20 years. [joel makower]
Al Gore comes up with a solution for global warming. After criticism for outlining the problem of global warming without providing a solution, Al Gore has published 'the only approach that will work', which says that the next president must quickly conclude a new and tougher climate change pact (than Kyoto) by the end of 2009. [NY times, page 2, moving beyond Kyoto] Gore takes the bull by the horns when he asks if the US is so scared to lead the crisis that they insist that other countries carry the same load when they have contributed almost nothing to the crisis?
Crisis as Mt Kenya rivers dry up. Rivers that once roared with copious amounts of water are now silent, managing only to limp downhill.

Uganda bans plastic bags. Since yesterday, Uganda has issued a ban on plastic bags to cut down the stinking piles of rubbish that litter its dusty capital and other urban area.

South African co-founder of Freeplay named as one of 2007's six Principal Voices. Rory Stear founded Freeplay Energy in 1995 and since then through the Freeplay Foundation has distributed more than half a million self powered radios in developing countries.
"Self-sustaining technology provides practical alternatives to unsafe and unhealthy forms of lighting such as candles and kerosene. It can dramatically reduce the number of trees felled for firewood. It can also displace dependence on disposable batteries that take 50 percent more energy to build than they can ever produce, are unaffordable for most people on the planet, and invariably end their life in landfills polluting the earth," says Rory.
Principal Voices gathers together a series of the world's foremost thinkers in their respective areas and is backed by CNN, Fortune and Time. [sa good news]

10 years to save civilization. Six American scientists have issued an unambiguous warning to the world about the threat of global warming (not that we haven't already been warned by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – IPCC but considering the results of the recent G8 summit, it was obviously only luke warm!). A new report, headed by James Hansen, a leading expert for climate change science, is predicting that the nations of the world have a slim 10 year window to put some radical changes in place, or face catastrophe.

SA's R400bn nuke plan. If you weren't already convinced that we're being led a merry dance with Eskom's proposed nuclear programme, think of the amount it's going to cost us, the taxpayer – R400-billion. And that won't even solve the energy crisis we now face. [IOL]

Horse drawn cart journey comes to an end. Here's a story that I find awesomely inspiring. Suz Philips took to the road on a cart drawn by 15 year old horse (called Hercule Peroit) and her 83-year-old mum driving the support car (33 year old Datsun) full of lucern to raise money for Aids orphens! They managed to cover the 842 kilometers from Cape Town to Knysna in three weeks (must have been the scenic route, not the N2!) and cope with wheels falling off, attacks by Alsatians and adverse weather.

Organic market set to grow 30% annually over the next 4 years. The SA Retail Industry Forecast (2007-2011) report provides research and analysis of the retail industry. One of the key findings is that the organic food market, the fastest growing segment in the food sector after baby food, will grow by 30% per annum over the next four years (2007-2010). The report looks at several retailers, including: Pick 'n Pay Holdings Ltd, Massmart Holdings Ltd, Woolworths Holdings Ltd and Shoprite Holding Ltd. [researchandmarkets]
New energy law on the cards for the WC. If legislation goes ahead there could be a range of incentives, tariffs and tax breaks for using renewable energy across residential, commercial and industrial sectors, including residents who produce their own renewable energy to feed back into the national grid.

SA landfill unauthorised. Marthinus van Schalkwyk announced that almost half of the landfill sites around the country are unauthorised and need to be closed, particularly as 58 of these are 'hazardous' (he didn't define hazardous, but one can assume he meant dangerous to our health and the environment). He also said that 45% of South Africans have no access to domestic waste-collection. [M&G]

James Gallagher vs. Chinzo Machida Fight on Bellator 180
James Gallagher vs. Chinzo Machida
A featherweight bout in between James Gallagher and Chinzo Machida is the most recent addition to June's Bellator 180 lineup.
Bellator authorities today verified the 145-pound matchup between Gallagher (6-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) and Machida (5-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) following a statement from Bellator President Scott Coker on "The MMA Hour."
Bellator 180 happens June 24 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The main card, entitled "Bellator: NYC," airs on pay-per-view following the Bellator 180 undercard on Spike.
Gallagher has actually rapidly established himself as a possibility to view on the MMA scene. The 20-year-old trains from SBG Ireland in Dublin together with UFC light-weight champ Conor McGregor. In less than 18 months as a professional, Gallagher has actually currently picked up six successive wins.
"The Strabanimal" has made all but one of his victories so far by submission, consisting of a first-round surface of Krill Medvedovsky at Bellator 173 in February.
Machida, 40, meanwhile, will be available in to the fight 20 years the senior of his opponent and simply another pro bout to his credit. The older bro of former UFC light heavyweight titleholder Lyoto Machida made his debut back in 2005 however just completed intermediately until this past year when he signed with Bellator.
The Brazilian has actually made his mark with the promo in two looks, scoring back-to-back blockage wins, the most current which came versus Jamar Ocampo at Bellator 170 in January.

Ban Contaminated Peanut Butter
Petitioning: U.S. Congress
Petitioner: Karen Wilson started on February 26, 2009
Many people have been sick from eating the contaminated peanut butter that contains Salmonella. Eight people died from this peanut butter and many are at risk!
King Nut and Parnell's Pride peanut butter are the culprit, their peanut butters are produced and sold worldwide in a Georgia factory where it is believed the deadly strain of Salmonella came from.
The peanut butters are very popular among the nursery centres, home, schools and hospitals. Now the products have been recalled worldwide and many of children have been seriously affected.
This means the FAD has failed to ensure the Food and safety program! We have to inform the Congress that the Food and Drug Administration has to be overhaul so that each of the product must be examine and approved properly!

It didn't knock or ring the bell,
Just crashed right in to where we dwell!

Stood on (and burst!) my brand new ball.
5. Cows are cute,
Cows are fun,
Cow babies are a beauty'
and I laugh when then toot,
from out their little buns.
6. My cat goes flying through the air
from over here to over there.
He lands and runs right back, and then
goes flying through the air again.
I didn't used to see him fly,
like Superkitty, through the sky.
He used to only lie around
upon my bed or on the ground.
7. Oh I want to be a great big dinosaur,
That is what I really want to be!
For if I were a great big dinosaur,
Everyone would run away from me. . .

An English gentleman traveled to New York City one rainy summer for the funeral of an old girlfriend.Having packed in a hurry, he forgot to bring his galoshes.Not wanting to ruin his shoes in the mud that was sure to be at his departed friend's burial ceremony, he went to a shoe store."Pardon me." he asked the clerk, "Do you have any black rubbers?"The confused clerk said he did not, but directed the man to the drugstore across the street.The Englishman asked the pharmacist, "Pardon me, but do you have any black rubbers?"The pharmacist replied, "I don't know but I'll take a look."From the back room, he called out, "I have green, red, purple, blue and rainbow, but no black." Returning to the counter he asked the Englishman, "Why do you want black rubbers, anyway?"The Englishman replied, "My old girlfriend just died."The surprised pharmacist said, "Oh, you English are so refined!"=======================
Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home." The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it. The man tells her that he will sell it for £599, no less.
After buying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home."
The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, "It's just 99p a word."
Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has £1 left. She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.
After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word "comfortable". The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, "comfortable?'"

A Scottish soldier in full dress marches into a pharmacy to speak to the chemist.The Scot opens his sporran and pulls out a neatly folded cotton bandanna, unfolds it to reveal a smaller silk square, which he also unfolds to reveal a condom.
The condom has a number of patches on it. He holds it up, and eyes it critically.'How much to repair it?' the Scot asks the pharmacist.'Six pence,' says the pharmacist.'How much for a new one?''Ten pence,' says the pharmacist.The Scot folds the condom into the silk square and the cotton bandanna, places it in his sporran and marches out the door of the pharmacy, kilt swinging.
A moment or two later the pharmacist hears a great shout go up, followed by an even greater shout.
The Scot walks back into the pharmacy, and again speaks to the pharmacist.'The regiment has taken a vote,' the Scot says. 'We'll have a new one.
On that subject I think we shall call it a day
Hope that you enjoyed them
Please my friends have a great Tuesday whatever you are doing
Breath Easy my friends

When I open my libraries folder I see 2 'Pictures' folders, both pointing to my photos locations. I would like to delete one of these, but don't want to delete the photos. How do I do this?
Toward the top of the Pictures Library folder in Windows Explorer, there should be some small text that mentions 2 (or more) locations. Click on that text to edit where the library gets its information from.
Well trash one of them but do not empy the recyclebin and see if it works. If not you will still be able to recover from the recycle bin and put it back

594 F.2d 985
Robert NEESE, Appellant,
Joseph A. CALIFANO, Jr., Secretary of Health, Education &
Welfare, Appellee.
No. 78-1186.
United States Court of Appeals,
Fourth Circuit.
Argued March 7, 1979.
Decided March 26, 1979.
Deborah Garton Gibson, Bluefield, W. Va. (Hensley, Muth & Gibson, Bluefield, W. Va., on brief), for appellant.
James S. Arnold, Asst. U. S. Atty., Charleston, W. Va. (Robert B. King, U. S. Atty., Charleston, W. Va., and Mark E. Kauffelt, Summer Law Clerk, on brief), for appellee.
Before BUTZNER and WIDENER, Circuit Judges, and ROBERT R. MERHIGE, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, sitting by designation.
Robert Neese appeals a judgment sustaining the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare's denial of his claim for black lung benefits under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 as amended in 1972, 30 U.S.C. §§ 921(a), 922(a)(1). Neese contends that he was a coal miner within the meaning of 20 C.F.R. § 410.110(j) during the eleven years that he worked as a contract coal hauler for Pace Pocahontas Coal Company, thus entitling him to the presumption that his respiratory impairment arose from employment in the mines. See 30 U.S.C. § 921(c); 20 C.F.R. § 410.416.
We conclude, however, that substantial evidence supports the Secretary's finding that Neese was a self-employed trucker rather than an employee of Pace Pocahontas. Unlike the miner whose claim we upheld in Ball v. Matthews, 563 F.2d 1148 (4th Cir. 1977), Neese owned his own equipment and paid his own operating expenses. See Weaver v. Weinberger, 392 F.Supp. 721 (S.D.W.Va.1975). Substantial evidence also supports the finding that Neese's respiratory impairment did not arise from his work during an earlier period ending in 1926 when he was a mining employee.
Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.

Love, an Honest Love, Never Dies!
GARTH BROOKS/More Than A Memory…..
People say she's only in my head
It's gonna take time but I'll forget
They say I need to get on with my life
But they don't realize…..
And they quite often don't realize, an honest Love, it's so much more than sharing the bed sheets; Love like life is more perplex than understood and invested in.
Marriage, relationship, dating, everything has to be firstly honest; before intimacy becomes a part of two peoples Love for one another. The main reason is that Love stands on its own, it's not in competition with any other aspect of life, but without Love; when all other aspects of life turn harsh, those aspects cannot be overcome or healed without Love.
Love sadly is the first to leave, when people take an honest Love for granted, it will be Love that leaves first, before any breakups, Love will leave, Love will stand at the wings waiting to see what happens in a relationship; if the relationship has no proof of positive healing, it will be gone; not dead, but gone. See the perplexing fact, you can get legally and fully separated, hate and despise one another, but somewhere deep inside; there is a glimmer of Love left in the bank of memories.
For most that shun Faith in God, that glimmer of Love has to be like a residue residing in a cold and empty void; I'm glad I don't live that way. Just to look at life as a void that's all filled up with willy nilly minimal amounts of anything that feels good in the moment, there's no substance in that way of life. It's a sad life, if life is continually lived as if all we have to do is watch television and eat bon-bon's till the cow's come home to feed; then calling what we see Love.
People live that way, there's a lot of people that live lonely sad lives that will wake up every morning in the arms of an accepted yet mindless relationship; it's life by the drop, and they are blindly hoping the drops will someday fill a void. It won't happen that way, in Love a person should feel full, there should be color and substance to their lives; the hurdles of life, with Love, life's hurdles are never feared.
Don't make Love a romance, because it's not a romance, but Love will allow romance in a relationship; but an honest Love has to be a strong foundation to allow romance to even be seen. You don't have romantic evening's with strangers, you have romantic evening's with the person that makes your life complete, a simple equation; where's the romance if your lonely after, or in the next morning. That's not romance, that's a conquest, a notch on the bed post; but look at it as a part of your soul wasted, Love if honest is a gift from God for the soul. Think about that as a long term loss in any relationship, living with an empty soul to fill a void can never be fun in the end.
The one thing we never see statistics on, are the statistics of the feelings of those that have lost the Loves of their lives due to cancer, accidental death, whatever, no one ever cares about that stuff. They will be anecdotal when talking to the survivors, it's in your head, go out and have a date, box everything up and send it to Goodwill then get on with life. Those anecdotes come from people that aren't really aware of the true meaning of an honest Love, and a good deal of those anecdote spreading people have marriages that end in divorce, their sad or uneasy about the relationship that they may be in; bluntly, they don't take the time to understand life and Love.
But life will change, it's inevitable, no matter, young or old; life will change. The perceptions we have of life at this moment, is a precursor of our tomorrows; making those perceptions worthwhile is more paramount than people often take the time to understand. While they should, too often people don't take the time to understand the lives they are living, then when life changes as it will; people get caught unaware and unsure of what tomorrow will bring.
The most honest part of life is the earthly inevitable, in a couple, it's when one passes before the other, that's where; loving honestly hits home. Friends are there for support, if their true and honest, but then so is family there for support if their true and honest, Don't worry if they aren't there for you; that's a demon they will someday face on their own. But at the moment that the Loved one is closest to you passes, then the deep honest Love; that Love will pull you through more than anyone can clearly estimate.
Depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, those all come down to one thing; selfishness. There's never been a written and signed guarantee that every day we live and breathe is going to be a good day; my last post proves that truth. But through an honest Love, the stress of any part of life is lessened; but the passing of a Loved one, there's never any good preparation for that part of life.
With a true honest Love, the souls are entwined, you live in that honest Love, Never alone, even though you're the one left behind; don't take Love for granted, because everything may just become a memory. An honest Love is never replaced in a day, a week, a month or a year, or maybe even years if at all. An honest Love is not a void, it's something that two people invest the time they share while on this earth in; with one big dividend . . . Heaven….

If you are familiar with Subang area, maybe you already know about this restaurant because it has already been there for quite some time. If you are not, well, you may continue to read this post to know more about it. :P
This is a restaurant which sells only one type of noodle, the own made noodle by uncle Seng. The noodle is made of egg and flour which has a springy and smooth texture. Do not think that the smoothness is due to the oil because it is not oily at all. It is the pure ordinary texture of the noodle itself.
The noodle comes with different types of choices which you can choose from the menu, or you may order plain noodle too. The above is noodle with braised pork which sells at RM5.60 for small. A lot isn't it? Yes, it is true, the small plate is served in quite a big portion which I think it is more than enough for a normal eater (even for guys...).
Another example above is noodle with 'char siew' (grilled pork in Cantonese), 'wan tan' (dumpling in Cantonese) and curry chicken selling at RM6 for small. The noodles will always come along with a small bowl of free soup. Other than that, the menu includes also chicken feet mushroom, shredded chicken, deep fried pork and etc.
Most of the customers would prefer to eat the noodles together with this special made chili. It is not spicy and is fairly sweet. But for me, I would prefer to go without the chili because I like its original taste.
I would say that this is a nice place to go for a quick and simple meal. It is quite popular among the residents, college students and workers around this area. They sell also the raw noodle, which you can buy and bring home to cook it yourself. My mummy tested once, but failed to get the same texture as it is served in the restaurant, maybe not enough 'kung fu' (often known as Chinese martial art in Mandarin, but here refers to the cooking technique) as uncle Seng, haha...

Now that the holidays are over I'm starting my cards again for Christmas 2015. Seems so far away, but that's what I thought for 2014 too! lol I must say I love being a part of 'Tis the Season Christmas card challenge since I didn't need to sit down for extended periods of time and stamp the same thing over and over and over and over...I think you get the picture. ;) It's so nice to create a few cards every couple of weeks and have a stack of them ready to go just before Christmas! I hope you'll join us for our bi-weekly challenge as much as you can throughout 2015!
I have to say this was a VERY hard challenge for me! I do NOT like blue and orange together, but I definitely like how this card turned out! I've seen a few cards here and there with these two colors together and I actually really liked them, so I knew I could get it to work if I took the time to think about it. I didn't quite use the same blue as the Inspiration does, but I really wanted to use my Blendabilities markers so I went with Bermuda Bay andCalypso Coral. Make sure you head over to challenge HERE to check out all the other great cards using these colors and play along too! We'd love to see what you create!
I almost forgot to add that I used Try Stampin' on Tuesday's sketch challenge for this card. Definitely a little different than what I posted on Tuesday, but it still fits for this card too. :) The idea for this card popped into my mind while I was creating my other one for this challenge. Love how that happens, don't you?!
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Ha Ji Won will appear on MBC's new drama 'The King 2 Hearts' with Lee Seung Gi, and it is scheduled to air its first episode on March 21st. On the show, she will be playing a North Korean officer, who is working hard on disgusing her North Korean accent as practicing the dance to girl group T-ara's hit song 'Bo Peep Bo Peep.'
Playing a North Korean officer and dancing and singing to a hit girl group's song does not seem to fit. The reason that Ha Ji Won is learning the dance and the song is because it will appear in a scene during the show. In the show, Ha Ji Won will come to the South to marry Lee Seung Gi, and has to get acclimated to the culture and style of South Korea. Though it will only be a short scene in the drama, Ha Ji Won is known for her hard work ethic and has been working in 1-2 hours every day into perfecting her dancing and singing skills.
A source close to Ha Ji Won revealed, "There were a lot of songs we considered using but we decided to choose T-ara's Bo Peep Bo Peep because of the cat paw dance. Ha Ji Won's singing ability and dance skills have already been praised but she wants to hear people say that she did a good job so she is working hard."
Also, to better prepare herself in playing a North Korean officer, Ha Ji Won has been working on her accent with a North Korean defector. The close friend said, "She does not want there to be even a little awkwardness so she is getting lessons even while she is filming. Even when she is not filming, and when she is just resting with her stylist or staff, she speaks to them with her North Korean accent."

|Man vs. Wild
Overall Rating: 4.5
Experience Date:Nov 10, 2006
Informative, fun to watch, strong masculine smell
I have been enjoying this show since its premiere a few weeks ago. Bear Grylls, an individual of evidently almost superhuman strength/stamina/knowledge/etc., goes from rough place to rough place and teaches YOU how to survive if you find yourself in these situations. I'm really digging the show so far, except for the occasional (alright, downright frequent) melodrama.

INDIE AUDIO BUZZ: clean cut kid - make believe
clean cut kid - make believe
we've been circling around clean cut kid since last year and i have to admit that it's taken awhile for the liverpudlian quartet to rotate back into our radar again. already hailed as the hottest record in the world by bbc radio 1's annie mac, the band are back with their lovely fuzzy guitars and infectious harmonies. sometimes it's totally fine connecting with no awkward lags in between!
