007 Colt Phyton Gun sold in auction

A revolver once owned by Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books, was sold for 12,000 pounds (17,650 euros, 23,550 dollars) at an auction in London on Wednesday.

The Colt Python .357 Magnum was presented to Fleming by the Colt Company as a gift in 1964, possibly as thanks for having his character Scaramanga, the KGB-trained villain in "The Man With The Golden Gun", use a Colt gun.

The snub-nosed revolver, which is in excellent condition, is engraved with the legend: "Presented To Ian Fleming By Colt's Patent Fire Arms Mfg. Co".

It had been expected to fetch between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds and was bought anonymously over the telephone during a sale at auction house Bonhams.

Fleming was a journalist and banker before working in Naval Intelligence during World War II, where he rose to the rank of Commander Fleming and was right-hand man to spymaster Admiral John Godfrey.

After the war, he went to Jamaica for a naval conference and fell in love with the island, where he wrote the Bond novels at his home, "Goldeneye".

Bond, the suave super-spy created by Fleming, carried a Walther PPK pistol which is easily concealed under a dinner jacket because it is small and light.

Rudy Youngblood star of "Apocalypto" in controversy


Apocalypto star Rudy Youngblood's Comanche roots are being questioned as a Native American group plans to honor the actor. Youngblood, who played central character Jaguar Paw in Mel Gibson's Mayan history epic, has spoken out about his heritage in interviews, boasting that his ancestors fought at Little Big Horn.

But Comanche leaders and Native American historians are questioning his claims. One historian, David Yeagley, tells the Los Angeles Times, "He has no Indian blood in him that anyone can validate."

Youngblood, who will be honored at next month's First Americans In The Arts gala in Beverly Hills, admits he can't understand why Yeagley is questioning his heritage. The actor says, "It's very hateful and very negative. He stalks me like he knows me."

According to the actor's website, Youngblood hails from the Tahchawwickah Comanche family and is adopted Cree. In his defense, Comanche Nation spokeswoman Jolene Schonchin accepts Youngblood's claims to her tribe: "He does have Comanche blood... from his father's side."

But even that is being questioned by members of theTahchawwickah family, who claim they've never heard of Youngblood, stating the actor wasn't among family members who attended tribe elder Preston Tahchawwickah's funeral in 2005. Youngblood claims Preston Tahchawwickah as his father.

India banned imports of live poultry


NEW DELHI, India (AFP) - India has banned imports of live poultry from countries where bird flu has been reported as a precautionary measure, a government statement said.

"Import into India will be prohibited from countries with highly pathogenic avian influenza and low pathogenic avian influenza," the statement from India's foreign trade division said late Tuesday.

The ban covers the import of live chicks, ducks, turkey and other species of newly hatched birds, the statement quoted by the Press Trust of India news agency said.

The import of meat products from these birds is also banned, along with pigs and pork products.

Eggs and feathers also come under the ban, as does animal feed derived from any of the banned items, the statement said.

Last August, India announced it was free of bird flu, six months after the country first reported an outbreak, leading to the culling of some 60,000 birds.

Bird flu has hit poultry flocks across the world and killed more than 160 people since 2003. Wild migratory birds have been blamed for the global spread of the disease.

At present the deadly H5N1 strain remains overwhelmingly a disease of birds but experts fear it could mutate into a strain with the ability to pass from human to human.

Antonella Barba “I’d rather present myself in a more classy way.”


After getting the boot from American Idol Antonella Barba has some decision to make about her career. With $750,000 in offers already on the table from Girls Gone Wild and Sugar DVD she can set herself up with a nice little nest egg, but what will she do?

At this point she doesn’t have a lot to hide and if she can pocket a nice chuck of change working with Sugar or GGW without having to take her clothes she should jump at the chance. She is getting 30 minutes of fame and it won’t last forever. No one will give her a recording contract with the voice she showed on the show, but her pictures generated enough traffic that whatever she does with her good looks will generate some serious cash.

Diabetes is a growing problem in asia


A cheese burger one day, lasagna the next and chicken nuggets instead of a bowl of noodles.

Across the continent, a newly-affluent Asian middle class is splurging after centuries of deprivation, shaking off a diet traditionally high in vegetables and rice and low in meat and opting instead for food loaded with saturated fat.

But the new variety of foods available to affluent Asians, coupled with a less active lifestyle, has a price -- diabetes.

Health experts say Asians are especially at risk for diabetes -- caused by excess weight, fatty foods and lack of exercise -- as the Asian metabolism has over the centuries adapted to a frugal diet and a hard-working lifestyle.

"If you have a poor early life and you then rapidly move into the direction of plenty, you may be more at risk," said Clive Cockram, a professor of medicine at the Chinese University in Hong Kong.

Asians are four to six times more likely to get diabetes than Caucasians, experts say.

Health experts are concerned that diabetes, a chronic and potentially fatal disease, could reach near epidemic proportions across Asia and among affluent Asian communities living abroad. "There is more diabetes than AIDS. It will take over as the main health problem of the developing world soon," said Dr Shirine Boardman, a diabetes expert at Warwick Hospital in England.

In the Western Pacific, a region stretching from Mongolia and Japan in the north to New Zealand in the south, the number of diabetics is expected to hit 100 million in 2025 from 67 million today.

Reese Witherspoon dropped "Bunny Lake"


Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon has abruptly dropped out of the remake of Bunny Lake Is Missing, just weeks before production was set to begin. I guess this girl has reason why she dropped her role..

Tobey Maguire last Spiderman role


Tobey Maguire has confirmed the upcoming Spiderman 3 will be the last time he plays the superhero on the big screen.


Costar Kirsten Dunst has also said she feels the third film will be the last in the popular franchise.

Maguire says, "To me it seems like this is a natural point for the team to break up because we have a lot of story conclusions that were going along for the main characters for the first two movies and we kind of tie almost everything up for the third movie.

"It feels like a trilogy to me and it feels like the end."

But moviemaker Sam Raimi isn't so sure that it's all over for the web-slinging movie hero.

In a recent interview, the director stated he's seriously considering a fourth film.

He explains, "I love Spider-Man and I love working with Kirsten,Tobey, James (Franco)... I just have to make sure that when I'm done with Spiderman 3,I'm really still fascinated with the character. At this moment I'm fascinated with him."

But Raimi insists he couldn't imagine making a fourth installment if Maguire didn't sign on for it.

He adds, "I couldn't imagine it."

Lyrics: You're Beautiful

Hey guys! check this song and the video, im sure you'll gonna love it.



You're Beautiful
by James Blunt



My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

How To Diet


You may want to know how to diet in order to lose 10 pounds in the next few weeks or months for some important event like a wedding, a graduation or to get ready for the beach. How do I diet should be answered, in my humble opinion, on the basis of health. The word diet is synonymous with starving oneself and I don’t advise you do that.


Proper diet and exercise can aid in weight loss, as well as keep you healthy. We know you've heard that before--the challenge is to follow through. Others have lost weight by following these simple guidelines, and so can you.

Instructions

  • STEP 1: Set small, realistic goals. If you have a lot of weight to lose, try for 5 pounds, relax a bit and then go for 5 more.
  • STEP 2: Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don't be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants!
  • STEP 3: Sneak in extra exercise in addition to your regular program. Park at the far end of the parking lot and walk; take the stairs instead of the elevator.
  • STEP 4: Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.
  • STEP 5: Choose foods that you like. Learn to prepare healthful, low-calorie foods that taste good by checking healthy cook books for new recipes. Eating well doesn't have to mean eating dull.
  • STEP 6: Eat smaller, more frequent meals. This way, your body starts to increase its metabolism so that calories are burned faster. Also, mini-meals can prevent overeating.
  • STEP 7: Plan ahead. Keep the fridge stocked with healthful food and you'll be less likely to run out for high-calorie, high-fat junk food.
  • STEP 8: Keep a food diary. This will help you pinpoint where you can improve your diet.
  • STEP 9: Once you discover your favorite snack time, be sure to have plenty of healthful options available.

Tips & Warnings

  • Lose weight with a friend, or join a support group.
  • Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home.
  • Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast--eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer.
  • Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don't shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too?
  • Lose weight gradually--you are more apt to keep it off. A safe amount is 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week.
  • Consult a doctor to find an exercise program that is best for you.
  • Crash diets can help you lose weight quickly, but most people gain the weight back. Some of these diets are also unhealthy and dangerous. If you choose to go with a specific diet plan, choose one that is medically credible.
  • If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet. This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.

SOMEDAY by Nina


"Someday"is one of my favorites song. I like the lyrics and the voice of Nina. She is really great!




SOMEDAY
by Nina



Someday you'll gonna realize
One day you'll see through my eyes
But then i won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if i can't

I know
You dont really see my worth
You think your the last guy on earth
Well i've got news for you
I know i'm not that strong
But it won't take long
Won't take long

Chorus

Coz someday, someone's gonna love me
The way, i want you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day i'll forget about you
You'll see, i won't even miss you
Someday, someday

But now
I know you can't tell
I'm down,and i'm not down anyway
But one day these tears
They will all run dry
I won't have to cry
Sweet goodbye

Chorus

Coz someday, someone's gonna love me
The way, i want you to need me
Someday, someone's gonna take your place
One day i'll forget about you
You'll see, i won't even miss you
Someday, someday


Badminton is a good work out



Many people playing badminton now adays. Its been popular to all celebrity specially here in the Philippines. its a good work out, especially to those who wants to loose weight. I used to played before, and it really works!


About Badminton

Badminton is a racket sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their rackets so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the ground, and the shuttlecock may only be struck once by each side before it passes over the net.

The shuttlecock is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racket sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Because shuttlecock flight is strongly affected by wind, competitive badminton is always played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game.

Badminton is an Olympic sport with five competitive disciplines: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each pair is a man and a woman. At high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, strength, and speed. It is also a technical sport, requiring good hand-eye coordination and the development of sophisticated racket skills.

Bradgelina plans to adopt Vietnamese boy


Hollywood movie star Angelina Jolie is set to adopt a Vietnamese boy in May after being fast-tracked through the system.

Jolie chose the boy, who is between 3 and 4 years old, during a recent visit to the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, said Vu Duc Long, the head of the justice ministry's international adoption department in Hanoi.

Under ordinary circumstances, it takes about four months to process an adoption after the forms arrive, Long said. If the prospective parent already has chosen a child, the adoption can be completed in just three months.

"Three months would be the longest," Long said, adding that Jolie's case could be processed faster than that.

Long confirmed last week that Jolie had filed adoption papers, but did not provide any details about the child or how long the process would take.

Jolie initiated the adoption process in the United States, but her application only arrived at Long's office last week. His department has approved the application and sent it to officials in Ho Chi Minh City, who also must review it.

Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, have three children: 5-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 2-year-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.

The pair made a surprise visit to the Tam Binh orphanage at Thanksgiving, when they were spotted cruising around Ho Chi Minh City on a motorbike.

Jennifer Aniston dating again?


My idol Jennifer Aniston is reportedly dating a cameraman she met on the set of her "Friends" co-star Courtney Cox's TV show "Dirt"

Jen, who split from boyfriend Vince Vaughn in December, met the mystery guy, known only as Mike, when she was filming a guest appearance on the program.

The next day he asked Jen out for dinner. They've been out several times since then, including once to a bowling alley and a dinner date at matrix, one of her favorite L.A restaurants.

You think she likes him???

Britney Spears new look


Do we really want Britney to be the next , Anna Nicole? Britney was thought of a americas little sweetheart at one time ( in the distant past). Most of us have watched her grow up. When she married the bad boy, we hope she would soon come to her senses when she finally did, everyone was happy for her ( remember how cute she looked on dave letterman?)

But now ... to see how she dresses, how she looks when she's out watching her stumble around... Its just sad.

How to Quit Smoking


Are you one of the most smokers who wants to quit? Then try following this advise.


QUIT TIPS

1. Don’t smoke any number or any kind of cigarette. Smoking even a few cigarettes a day can hurt your health. If you try to smoke fewer cigarettes, but do not stop completely, soon you’ll be smoking the same amount again.

Smoking "low-tar, low-nicotine" cigarettes usually does little good, either. Because nicotine is so addictive, if you switch to lower-nicotine brands you’ll likely just puff harder, longer, and more often on each cigarette. The only safe choice is to quit completely.

2. Write down why you want to quit. Do you want to—

  • Feel in control of you life?
  • Have better health?
  • Set a good example for your children?
  • Protect your family from breathing other people’s smoke?

Really wanting to quit smoking is very important to how much success you will have in quitting. Smokers who live after a heart attack are the most likely to quit for good—they're very motivated. Find a reason for quitting before you have no choice.

3. Know that it will take effort to quit smoking. Nicotine is habit forming. Half of the battle in quitting is knowing you need to quit. This knowledge will help you be more able to deal with the symptoms of withdrawal that can occur, such as bad moods and really wanting to smoke. There are many ways smokers quit, including using nicotine replacement products (gum and patches), but there is no easy way. Nearly all smokers have some feelings of nicotine withdrawal when they try to quit. Give yourself a month to get over these feelings. Take quitting one day at a time, even one minute at a time—whatever you need to succeed.

4. Half of all adult smokers have quit, so you can— too. That’s the good news. There are millions of people alive today who have learned to face life without a cigarette. For staying healthy, quitting smoking is the best step you can take.

5. Get help if you need it. Many groups offer written materials, programs, and advice to help smokers quit for good. Your doctor or dentist is also a good source of help and support. See a list of National Groups with information and resources on how to quit.



The Fox River 8 breaks in












What an awsome show! a show has lived up to its hype! the plot, actors, everything was great. I know some people will bash anything but not this. This was awsome..


Convinced that his wayward brother LINCOLN BURROWS (Dominic Purcell) was wrongly convicted of the sensational murder of the Vice President’s brother, which landed him on Fox River State Penitentiary’s death row, a desperate MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Wentworth Miller) attempted a daring bank robbery in order to get himself incarcerated in Fox River with Lincoln. Michael, an engineer with access to the prison’s structural design, then masterminded an elaborate plan to free Lincoln by pulling off the ultimate PRISON BREAK.

Aided by an intricate tattoo of the prison’s blueprints covering his upper body, Michael aligned himself with his lovelorn cellmate FERNANDO SUCRE (Amaury Nolasco), former mob boss JOHN ABRUZZI (Peter Stormare), homicidal pedophile “T-BAG” (Robert Knepper), the well-connected “C-NOTE” (Rockmond Dunbar) and CHARLES WESTMORELAND (Muse Watson), a man Michael believed to be the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper. On the outside, Michael’s only ally was his defense attorney and Lincoln’s former girlfriend VERONICA DONOVAN (Robin Tunney), who protected Lincoln’s targeted son LJ (Marshall Allman). Veronica’s quest for the truth led straight to the White House, Secret Service Agent PAUL KELLERMAN (Paul Adelstein) and the power-hungry Vice President, CAROLINE REYNOLDS (Patricia Wettig), whose brother, in secret, is very much alive.

Overcoming many setbacks, the brothers and six other inmates ultimately escaped from Fox River. The prison break had its consequences, however – Michael was forced to betray his father figure, Warden HENRY POPE (Stacy Keach); prison doctor SARA TANCREDI (Sarah Wayne Callies), who was instrumental in the escape plan and had romantic feelings for Michael, relapsed with drugs and overdosed; and Westmoreland died of injuries sustained in the escape, but not before revealing that he was indeed D.B. Cooper – and providing a clue to where he had hidden over $5 million in cash.

Outside the prison walls, the escape truly begins as the convicts race for their lives – and the hidden cash –while trying to avoid capture by the authorities. The pursuers are led by vengeful prison guard Captain BRAD BELLICK (Wade Williams), who, driven by a personal vendetta, will stop at nothing until the escapes are captured or killed.

TIME LEFT ON SENTENCE: The rest of his natural life

NOTES:
Theodore Bagwell is one of the most dangerous predators at Fox River Penitentiary. Not surprisingly, he has barely known a life outside of confinement. After multiple citations for vandalism and cruelty to animals, a ten year old Bagwell was caught attempting to burn down the home of his fourth grade teacher and was sent to juvenile hall. It was there that Bagwell was first introduced to a white supremacist gang, known as the Alliance for Purity.

As Bagwell grew up, his crimes grew more serious, including assault with a deadly weapon and attempted murder. For these crimes, Bagwell was sentenced to Alabama’s Donaldson maximum-security prison where he immediately assumed a leadership position in the Alliance for Purity.

Upon Bagwell’s release four years ago, he immediately returned to a life of crime, and embarked on a rape and murder spree across Alabama that included several teenage victims and landed him on America’s Most Wanted, the popular television series. Once captured, Bagwell’s attorney petitioned for Bagwell to be incarcerated out of state, for fear of re-establishing power in the Alliance for Purity. When Bagwell landed in Fox River ten months ago, its chapter of the Alliance was non-existent. Thanks to the charismatic “T-Bag,” it is now one of the most powerful gangs in the prison.

TIME LEFT ON SENTENCE: Four years, one month.
ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE IN: One year, four months

NOTES:
Fernando Sucre was born and raised in Chicago, and since coming to Fox River has been a model prisoner. Sucre’s offense was holding up a liquor store with an unloaded firearm. He did so to secure enough cash to buy an engagement ring for his girlfriend Maricruz, whom he had met three years earlier. The police were on the scene before he had a chance to flee and he was arrested immediately.

Sucre and Maricruz had been dating for two years prior to Sucre’s incarceration and six months ago, Maricruz moved to New York after accepting a job as a buyer for a major Manhattan fashion retailer.

A month later, Sucre’s cousin Hector also moved to New York. He told his friends that his company transferred him, but those who know him best suspect he requested the transfer so that he could be closer to Maricruz.

After escaping from Fox River, Sucre learned that Maricruz and his cousin Hector were going to be married in Las Vegas. Sucre arrived at the chapel hours before the wedding, in an attempt to stop it. However, Hector had notified the local Nevada authorities, and Sucre fled the scene.



DAVID APOLSKIS
ALIAS: Tweener
BACK NUMBER: 95012
LOCATION: General Population, A-Wing, Cell 13
CRIME: Grand Larceny
SENTENCE: Five years
TIME LEFT ON SENTENCE: Two years
ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE IN: One year

NOTES:
Apolskis has always had great hands. In junior high, they helped him win a starting job as a wide receiver on the school’s football team. But in ninth grade, Apolskis was deemed academically ineligible to participate in athletics. That’s when he found a more profitable use for his talent.

Apolskis became a master pickpocket, and from the ages of 14 through 19, he swiped over 200 wallets and 150 watches. Those statistics are even more impressive considering the fact that he spent eight of those months in juvenile hall on two separate convictions. But Apolskis got a little too ambitious when he tried to lift a wallet from an off duty police officer. He was immediately apprehended and when the authorities searched his apartment, they discovered a valuable baseball card collection (appraised at over three hundred thousand dollars) that had been reported missing two days prior. He was charged with grand larceny, and sentenced to five years at Fox River.



CHARLES PATOSHIK

ALIAS: Haywire
BACK NUMBER:
72864
LOCATION: AT LARGE
CRIME:Second Degree Murder (two counts), Escape from a Federal Incarceration Facility, Robbery, Breaking and entering.
SENTENCE: Sixty years
TIME LEFT ON SENTENCE: Fifty six years
ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE IN: Twenty six years

NOTES:
Before his incarceration, Patoshik was a stand-out doctorate candidate in mathematics, focusing his research on a type of geometric pattern, known as fractals. It was during this time of intense study that he began to experience noticeable symptoms of mental illness. Not long after, and despite no history of violence, Patoshik walked into his parents’ bedroom, brandishing a shotgun, and killed them both while they slept.

Patoshik claims no memory of the crime and has offered no explanation as to his motive. Upon intake, he was committed to the Psychiatric Ward of Fox River, where he earned the nickname “Haywire.” After four years of intensive medication and monitoring, his doctors have seen sufficient progress to release him into general population.












Walk like an expert


Walking is a great way to get good exercise, despite its reputation sometimes as being the wimpy version of running. whatever! I personally love walking for fitness, but there is definitely a difference between a leisurely stroll through the park and a good hike to get your blood pumping--
so if your looking for optimal toning and weight loss follow this tips to get the most out of your "stroll" and walk like a true expert.

GET FIT

Walking Tips for a Better Work Out

1. Head for the Hills
Walking uphill is a great way to up the challenge without having to up your pace. Even if the hill is modest, you'll still work more butt and thigh muscles and burn more calories. Find a hilly outdoor course or set your treadmill to a 4-8 percent incline and either sprinkle the hills into your workouts or do repeats (Find a hill or increase the incline on the treadmill for 1.5 minutes, decrease incline and rest one minute on the flat). Repeat 6-8 times.

2. Swing, Swing
Although carrying hand weights while walking ups the calorie burn by almost 5 percent, the strain on your shoulder and elbow joints just isn't worth the risk. But since most of the additional calorie burn comes from the increased arm swing and not the weights themselves, you can still give your walk a boost by swinging your arms more forcefully and in a bigger arc for similar benefits with no risk!

3. Intervals
Short bursts of higher-intensity exercise will work wonders for your butt and thighs (ever wonder why sprinters have such amazing assets?). If you're not ready to do an all-out sprint, try alternating fast and slow intervals. Walk at a slow pace for two minutes, a moderate pace for two minutes and then a really quick pace for two minutes. Repeat the pattern three to six times and start feeling the burn.

4. Get on the Poles
Poles are a great alternative to hand weights because they're safer, they involve more muscle groups and, according to some studies, they can skyrocket calorie burn by almost 33 percent! You can use them on the track, on the roads or even in the mall.
Although very popular in Europe but just catching on here, pole walking or Nordic walking is not only effective, it also gives you a wonderful gliding feeling. And depending on the angle in which you push on the poles, you will use various different muscles in the arms and back.

5. Listen to Your Heart
To get the most out of your walk, you need to pay attention to your heart rate and aim to work out at 60-90 percent of your maximum heart rate or effort. Subtract your age from 220 to quickly estimate max heart rate, but keep in mind that this formula is not 100 percent accurate; getting it tested by a knowledgeable trainer or doctor is your best bet.
Another option is simply bypassing heart rate all together and grading your intensity by how you feel on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being very easy and 10 being an all-out effort. If you choose this method, make sure to stay between 6 and 9 during the majority of the workout (excluding the warm up and cool down where you should stay between 3 and 5).

By upping the challenge and intensity of your walking workouts, you'll burn more calories, tone and tighten your butt and thighs and increase your fitness level. Integrate these tips into your routine at least three to five times a week for 30 minutes per day and start seeing your body change.

Why we Love Toy Dogs?

























A toy dog is a very small dog kept as a pet, as compared to a very small working dog, although both pet and working dogs can be very small. When an all-breed association or kennel club divides dog breeds into groups for purposes of competition, the Toy Group contains most of the smallest dog breeds in the club's registry. There has been much discussion as to whether the designation signifies only a dog's size (weight, height, or both), or also refers to how a breed is used or its temperament. This has sometimes led to misunderstanding or bad feeling in the world of purebred dogs; there seems to be no consensus.

It seems safest to define toy dogs as being determined by the size of the dogs, and leave discussion of function and temperament to the various breed clubs. However, this can also be problematic, as there is no firm agreement on what height or weight makes a dog a toy, and the upper height limit of some toy dog breeds is over 12 inches at the withers, which places these dogs within the height range of dogs in some other groups as well.

The use of the word "toy" to describe small dogs that belong to a toy breed is redundant and also incorrect, suggesting that the breed comes in different sizes—there is no such thing, for example, as a "toy Chihuahua"; all Chihuahuas are toy dogs. (However, some breeds do come in different sizes, such as Poodles, which come in standard, miniature, and toy varieties).

Toy dogs refers to size, pictures documenting the history of size are often referred to by breeders. The small size and sweet expressions of these dogs illustrate the main function of this group: to delight the owner. Many Toys are very tough; don�t let their size fool you. Toys have always been popular with people that live in cities and apartments. Toy dogs refers to size, pictures documenting the history of size are often referred to by breeders.

LIST OF TOY BREEDS

Some toys were bred to be pint-sized companions or lap dogs; others are toys due to thier size. Thier gregarious nature and endearing expressions highlight thier charm, some toys, lacking size awareness, may show assertiveness, particularly spoiled toys showing owner jealousies. Easier to control and requiring less space, they make ideal apatment pets, cost of care, messes and shedding is less, but some can be finicky eaters. Thier size assertiveness predispose caution around children.

What makes a toy breed

Size

Inconsistency in the placement of small terriers into various kennel club's groups illustrates the point. The Tenterfield Terrier, for example, is in Group 2, Terriers of the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC). It was slated for placement in Group 1, Toys, but quickly reclassified after objection from owners, who argued that the Tenterfield was a working terrier. In the American Kennel Club (AKC), the Toy Fox Terrier, a dog of similar type to the Tenterfield, was placed in the Toy Group without objection from owners, but is in the Terrier Group in the United Kennel Club (UKC). The diminutive Yorkshire Terrier is undisputedly a toy. The Australian Terrier is one of the smallest terriers, but is in the Terrier group.

Form versus function

Another area of contention is the idea that toy dogs are only companion animals, slow moving, with little need for exercise and with low endurance. Papillons give lie to this; although dainty and small they are quite capable of taking long walks with their humans and often excel at the energetic sport of dog agility. Maltese are another example of very robust daintiness. The UKC defines Italian Greyhounds as having been bred exclusively as pets; the AKC states that these dogs were bred as gazehounds, dogs that hunt by sight, and are quite fast and hardy, but they are nevertheless members of the AKC Toy group.

Tea cup dogs (AKA tiny dogs)

The terms "teacup" or ("tea cup") and "tiny toy," have increasingly come to be used to describe adult dogs that are very small. The terms, however, are not used officially by any kennel club, and their use remains inaccurate and controversial. Since the terms are unofficial, there is no accepted standard of definition for the terms; thus, an eight-pound chihuahua (much larger than the maximum defined in the breed standard) can be described as a "teacup." The increasing frequency of use of the terms by laypersons has led some to believe that the terms are official, however, this has never been the case (see Chihuahua).

Most who are involved in dog breeding and judging argue that the whole concept of the "teacup" is nothing more than a marketing ploy to charge exorbitant prices for dogs that are frequently runts or that may have health problems due to dwarfing. Dogs that are exceedingly small, particularly those that are two pounds or less fully grown, often have shortened life spans and require special care.

Yet, beyond opinions and controversy, "teacup" is a term aiming at describing, and widely understood to mean "smaller than toy dogs". These are sometimes also referred to as "tiny" dogs.




Lea Salonga Returns on Broadway as ' Les Miz'


International star and the Philippine's pride, Lea Salonga, returns to Broadway in the revival of Les Miserables tonight, March 6.

The Tony Award-winning star of Miss Saigon will replace Daphne Rubin-Vega as Fantine who dies after giving birth to Cosette, the story’s young heroine.

This is actually the second time for Lea to appear in Les Miserables. The singer-actress played Eponine, a street urchin who dies on the barricades, in the original Broadway production of Les Miz in 1993, right after leaving Miss Saigon.

Asked how the two characters differed, Lea had this to say: “Fantine is far more animalistic, at the very end of the journey. She's just frayed at the edges, like a cat that's constantly attacking or retreating. I found her to be very schizophrenic at the end of her life."

“I found her to be a very complicated character to play and it's a challenge to do bring all that out in 20 to 25 minutes, which is Fantine's stage time," she said.

Lea first gained international stage stardom at age 17 when she was chosen—among thousands who auditioned around the world—to play the coveted role of Kim in the 1989 London production of Miss Saigon.

For her performance in the Mackintosh-produced musical, Lea won an Olivier Award for Best Actress. When she reprised her role on Broadway, she went on to win a Tony Award.

The Filipino singer-actress returned to Miss Saigon twice during the almost 10-year run of the production. Lea has the distinction of being the first Asian actress to portray Eponine on Broadway in Les Miserables.

Lea's last Broadway appearance was in 2002 when she starred in the revival of The Flower Drum Song.

She has also served as the singing voice of two Disney characters: Jasmin in Aladdin and the title character in Mulan.

Aside from releasing several albums, she has also appeared in U.S. television. Some of her appearances include the 1993 Oscar Awards where Aladdin's "A Whole New World" won as best original song, the TV movie Redwood Curtain with Jeff Daniels, a guest-starring role on ER, and a recurring role on As The World Turns.

The international star, who will turn 36 on February 22, had her first U.S. concert tour in 2005 which culminated in a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall.

Lea married Chinese-Japanese Robert Chien, managing director of an entertainment software company, on January 10, 2004. Their daughter, Nicole Beverly, was born on May 16, 2006.

Prison Break's Wentworth Miller: I'm not Gay


Wentworth Miller, star of the suspense-drama series Prison Break brings light to the surfacing rumors of his being gay. And after much noise, the promising actor attempts to put an end to these hearsay by stating, “I’m not gay.”

This part-African-American, Jamaican, English, German, French, Dutch, Syrian and Lebanese actor, although has distinctly established himself as one of the eye-candies of Prison Break due to his signature look and his physique, is still adjusting to his life in the limelight and the fierce media scrutiny of his personal life. And just like other actors, his fame and rise to stardom came with much controversy regarding his sexuality.

Miller, 34, graduated from Princeton University in 1995 with a degree in English literature prior to his pursuit of the entertainment industry. Initially, he appeared on the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a guest. This was followed by more TV appearances on Popular and ER, as well as a starring role on the series Dinotopia. Shortly, he landed a spot on movies like The Human Stain, Underworld, Stealth and two of Mariah Carey’s videos. On the action-packed show Prison Break, Miller plays Michael Scofield, a former structural engineer who tries to help his brother, Lincoln Burrows, played by Dominic Purcell, escape his execution for a crime he did not commit.

And while Miller is not being bothered with the buzz, he firmly denies the gay rumors and puts wit and serene as he answers the allegations. He clarifies, "No, I'm not gay. I know these rumors are out there...I'm cool with the fact that they exist, I mean this is about fantasy. Certain people are going to have certain fantasies. If someone wants to imagine me with a woman, or a man or one of each, that's cool with me as long as you keep watching the show."

Jim Carrey as a Karate Instructor

Jim Carrey gives hard laughs with his skits in living color. This is one of my favorite. watch this.

Lyrics - Tears and Rain

As of now Tears and Rain is one of my favorite music. Sung by James Blunt. Here are the Lyrics of the song.

Tears and Rain
How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.

How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.

I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
