Five Deserted Island China Blogs -- Just The Essentials, Ma'am.
2008-07-21 16:56:00 Maybe I have been watching too much Lost (all that remains is the Season 4 finale), but in response to a barrage of demand (one email suggestion around a year ago), I have decided it is time I come out with my list of the five China blogs I would want to be able to read were I to be stranded on a deserted island for the next year or two. Now remember, this list is not meant to be the best five blogs or the most enjoyable five blogs or even the most important five blogs. It is a list of the five blogs I would want were I to be stranded without any other reading material. That all of these blogs have daily or near daily postings (oftentimes multiple postings per day) is a big plus as I figure I will have plenty of time to fill. It would be a cop out were I too list anything even resembling a blog aggregator (like Chinalyst or China Digital Times or Virtual Review China) so I will not. So without further ado, and in no particular order, and with just a bit of explanation, here g...

HIlton Head Island Going Green
2008-06-10 21:31:00 Well, Hilton Head has always been green in the literal sense. Lots of trees, grass, plants and of course, golf courses to enjoy. But it seems, some of our builders are catching on to the national trend of building green. At a lunch meeting today, the featured speaker was Howard Feldman, a local builder representing the areas Home Builders Associations' "Green Committee". He educated many of us on just what makes a home green and what we can do to help make existing homes greener. There are several homes on HHI that are certified "Green Homes" and it is interesting just how energy efficient they are. Of course, there is also the HGTV in the Traditions development in Jasper County, right next door. Hilton Head Island is one of natures most beautiful creations. It is always nice to learn what we can do to keep it that way!

Long Island Closing Prices Plunge 10%, Queens 15% Year Over Year

In Nassau the median price dropped $51,500 to $438,500 over the same period, and in Queens the price dropped to $407,500 from $480,000.The declines show the effects of fewer sales coupled with increased inventory, according to MLS chief executive Joseph E.

Keeping the PT job on the island
2008-06-03 19:40:00 So, I've made the decision to keep my PT job at the arena back on the island. My boss has already said that he would love to have me back, and that I would retain the same position. Although, I believe my sister (who was working as my assistant, and then in my role during the shifts I wasn't there) will be getting a pay raise and a title change. We'll be job sharing, and then when I'm back in town, she'll revert back to being the assistant. Just like this past year.Reasons why I'm keeping this PT job:I love this job. It's seriously the greatest job I've ever had.I've made some wicked contacts in the 4 years that I've worked there, and they could be pivotal in helping me land my dream job in the years to come.I'll be able to keep my foot in the door of my dream career. My boss has the job that I've always dreamed about, and I was offered it last summer. However, because we're a small organization, the pay was less than $30k ... and I just couldn't take the job and achie...

GoPets: Vacation Island (for Nintendo DS Lite)
2008-06-02 21:37:00 I have a Nintendo DS Lite and have been trying out some new games on it. One I’ve been playing lately is GoPets Vacation Island. It’s basically a kid-friendly introduction to social networking by way of virtual pets. My toddler is a bit too young to really understand the concept yet but she had fun creating her “pet” with me. We are the proud adopted parents of a purple puppy. In the game, your adopted pet roams around the island and meets other pets and plays games. If you connect using the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, you can meet other pets on the island and exchange “Iku” messages. These are picture-coded messages that you send back and forth with other virtual pet-owners. A game like this also teaches basic responsibility, because the child needs to care for his or her “pet”, as well as take initiative to care for someone else’s pet. This is a really cute game - perfect for the pre-school to grade school-age kids. ...

Einstein Would Approve of Moving the Island on Lost
2008-06-01 23:11:00 Last night on Lost, Ben moved the island—presumably thousands of miles. Could he actually do that, without huge accelerations that would obliterate all structures and kill all the people on the island? The surprising answer, in physics, is yes … sort of. The trick is that you don’t really move the island. Rather, you change its space-time connection to the rest of the Earth. Space and time in relativity theory are quite flexible. Gravity is one manifestation of that. According to Einstein’s discovery, the presence of mass-energy warps space-time; what we perceive as gravity is just the curvature of space-time. That’s the Theory of General Relativity, now firmly established by experimental tests. The strange behavior of time and space (the fact that two twins traveling apart can experience different amounts of time, for example) are verified daily in our physics labs, using radioactive particles rather than twins. I’ve verified this myself.

50 Cent's Long Island Home Gutted By 'Suspicious' Fire
2008-05-30 10:02:00 Rapper's ex-girlfriend claims he threatened her; 50's lawyer calls claim 'outrageous and offensive.'By Chris Harris 50 Cent (file) Photo: Kristian Dowling/Getty Images A fire ripped through a Dix Hills, New York, home owned by rapper 50 Cent early Friday morning (May 30), completely gutting the house and sending six people — among them, the rapper's 10-year-old son, Marquise, and the child's mother, 50's ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins — to the hospital for smoke inhalation. Both were treated and released. The fire broke out at about 5 a.m., according to fire officials, and it took personnel from five departments to get the conflagration under control. Dix Hills Fire Department Chief Larry Feld told MTV News the blaze was "definitely suspicious." When pressed for details, Feld said, "I would say there is a strong possibility that it is suspicious because of the rapid movement of the fire, the volume of the fire that we had upon arrival, and the intensit...
