I did it and it truly only takes a minute, and it’s pretty cool site too.

A favor to ask, it only takes a minute….
Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! TheBreast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on “donating a mammogram” for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donatemammograms in exchange for advertising. Here’s the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

AGAIN, PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS TO TELL 10 TODAY

Chinese man drops dead in Internet cafe after 3-day gaming binge
Mon Sep 17, 9:54 AM

BEIJING (AP) - A man in southern China appears to have died of exhaustion after a three-day Internet gaming binge, state media said Monday.

The 30-year-old man fainted at a cybercafe in the city of Guangzhou on Saturday afternoon after he had been playing games online for three days, the Beijing News reported.

Paramedics tried to revive him but failed and he was declared dead at the cafe, it said. The paper said that he may have died from exhaustion brought on by too many hours on the Internet.

The report did not say what the man, whose name was not given, was playing.

It said that about 100 other surfers “left the cafe in fear after witnessing the man’s death.”

China has 140 million Internet users, second only to the United States. It is one of the world’s biggest markets for online games, with tens of millions of players, many of whom hunker down for hours in front of computers in public Internet cafes.

Several cities have clinics to treat what psychiatrists have dubbed “Internet addiction” in users, many of them children and teenagers, who play online games or surf the web for days at a time.

Every summer we go away to the lake with Brian, Debbie, Brendan and Sedona, it’s a week full of shopping, golfing, tubing, bonzi-ing, water-skiing, and eating like kings. This year was no different except we went to a different location. Up to location of the Merritt Mountain Music Festival. Debbie’s parents built a brand new house up there, and were kind enough to invite us to stay with them.

The weather was windy but nice, the food was fabulous and of course the company was fun (and a bit sick at the same time-if you were there you will understand this analogy)

Super moon cakes made for Mid-Autumn Festival

BEIJING, Sept. 24 — Citizens in a dozen of Chinese cities had opportunities to taste super moon cakes while the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching.

In Lanzhou, capital of northwest China’s Gansu Province, hundreds of people ate up a 40-kilogram moon cake within one hour on Wednesday.

Among those tasting the pastry were athletes, construction workers, farmers, and citizens living near the Lanzhou Sports Park.

It took the chefs nearly six hours to make the cake, which is 2.8 meters in diameter.

Organizers of the activity named the moon cake the “China 2.8″ in honor of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the Mid-Autumn Festival, which fell on next Tuesday this year, a festival marked by Chinese around the world as a day of family reunion.

One month ago, a super large moon cake weighing nearly 13 tons, was made in Shenyang, capital of northeast China’s Liaoning Province.

Referred to as the “No. 1 of Chinese Moon Cakes,” this cake is 8.15 meters in diameter and 20 centimeters in height, and has a coating weighing one ton, and filling weighing 12 tons.

It took ten chefs more than 10 hours to make the king cake.

Moon cakes are a popular pastry eaten by the Chinese during the Mid-Autumn Festival. During this holiday, tens of millions of moon cakes are consumed throughout the country.
