People of Osaka Give 300 Cherry Blossom Trees for Planting In Karangasem Regency Bali
The Bali Daily (Jakarta Post) reports that The Japan Sakura Exchange Association has given 300 Japanese Sakura cherry blossom trees to the regency of Karangasem in Bali. The gift from the Japanese city of Osaka will be planted in Rendang village. The Japanese donors assure that the cherry blossom trees will thrive in the soil and climatic condition of Rendang due to modifications in the trees introduced by Japanese horticulturalists. The Japanese cherry blossom is of the genus Prunus serrulata, more commonly known in Japan as sakura. The trees are cultivated for their rich floral displays that resemble pink clouds and last little more than a week. While the blooming of the cherry blossom normally heralds the dawn of

Reptile Rescue
72 Confiscated Crocodiles Moved to the Safety of Bali's Taman Safari and Marine Park After being closed by Bali animal welfare officers for having no operating license, 72 crocodiles at the Reptil Jaya Park in Mengwi have been moved to a safer home at the Ta m a n S a f a r i Indonesia Park in Gianyar in a threeday operation. Seputarbali.co m reports that the Bali Natural R e s o u r c e Conservation Agency (BKSDA) were assisted by the police in the careful transfer of the 72 reptiles and four fertile crocodile eggs to the modern facilities provided by Taman Safari Indonesia. In addition to not holding permits for the care of rare and endangered species, conservation officials were shocked by the poor and dangerous condition of the enclosures and care provided at Reptil Jaya Park. Sumarsono, a section head at BKSDA Bali told kompas.com: We moved all of the reptiles to a new location that is both adequate and safe. Suitable and safe for both the that could send him to prison for five years and incur a fine of Rp. 100 million (US$10,400). As reported earlier by Balidiscovery.com, police and conservation officials raided the Reptil Jaya Park in Mengwi when they officially seized the 72 crocodiles living at the facility. Prior to that raid, the BKSDA sent two warning letters calling for the facility to obtain the needed permits. Among the crocodiles seized at the Park were a number of rare saltwater crocodiles considered among the largest crocodile species, and New Guinea crocodiles. Officials also confiscated endangered false gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) freshwater crocodiles on the endangered reptile list. www.balidiscovery.com

Kuta is nestled between Jl. Bakungsari to the south and Jl. Melasti to the north. Kuta is the best known of all the villages in Bali, often maligned, but loved by many. Kuta gets its so called bad reputation from the early days of travel to Bali where everybody, particularly the young crowd, hung out and got wrecked. Footpaths didn't exist, open drains ran down the side of unmade roads. Shopping was sarongs and T-shirts and hawkers who sold just about anything. Times have changed and Kuta has grown up, gone are the unmade roads and open drains. Footpaths, although narrow, run both sides of the main streets. The hawkers are still there - part of the character of the place.

In the Department of Manpower, Transmigration and Social, explained Erwin, simultaneous steps are underway to help job seekers obtain positions abroad or on cruise ships. People from the lower economic classes are being provided with training to find jobs on cruise ships and, in so doing, provide higher family incomes and reduce the need or desire to transmigrate. Erwin said job training is also being given to civil servant pensioners.

THE BUKIT
Much has been written about this dusty, arid and rugged area, which forms the southern most tip of the island.
Limestone cliffs of up to 100 meters in height provide some of the best views in the world, along with some deserted white sandy beaches. Everyone wants a piece of this are, from international hotel chains such as Bvlgari, Versace and Banyan Tree, to established residential villa developers looking for that perfect plot. The area offers secluded beaches, and exclusivity to name but a few reasons why this is fast becoming the place to be. Prices have more than tripled in the area over last 2 years alone with still plenty of potential to be realized, so now is a plan. Only a short 15 minutes drive from the international airport, The Bukit is fast being referred to as the new Millionaires Row.
JIMBARAN
Jimbaran is just south of the airport and Kuta. This was formerly a real backwater of south Bali, just a tiny fishing village with a daily market. That all started to change in the 1980s and Jimbaran is now home to several world class 5 star beach resorts, plus a few more moderate mid-market hotels. There is however little in the way of budget accommodation and there are also many high-end villas in this area, particularly on the ridges of high ground above Jimbaran Bay. This has resulted in monikers such as the "Beverly Hills of Bali" or "Millionaire's Row". The bay itself has a pleasant white sand beach and is very safe for swimming. The three clusters of grilled seafood restaurants on the beach are a major tourist draw in the evenings, as is the truly stunning sunset. Jimbaran is also home to a Norwegian University, Gateway College, with around 500 students studying athletics, philosphy, culture, economics and journalism. The school is located in Kedonganan close to Sari Segara Resort and in Jl, Bantas Kau where it also has a small cafe. Jimbaran has an increasing number of rather chic shops but there is little or no nightlife here. It has the advantage of being a little closer to Kuta and Seminyak and the cultural highlights of Central Bali.

Bali Police Challenged to Expose those Behind Violent Attack on Head of Bali Environmental Group WALHI
The Bali police have established a special task force to investigate a brutal physical attack suffered by Gendo Suardana, a leading environmental activist in Bali. Gendo Suardana is the chairman of the Bali Friends of the Earth (WALHI) who has been at the forefront of protests and demonstrations against the destruction of the mangrove forest by the Benoa to Nusa Dua highway and protests opposing Bali's governor for granting a 55-year-long license to a private company to manage a huge public mangrove forest in South Bali.

activists asked if police had responded seriously to Gendo's report of the criminal assault and demanded that steps be taken to capture those responsible to ensure future attacks do not occur. Yoga promised to follow up on the report of the assault, insisting the police shared the group's distaste for violence. Separately, the internal deputy of WALHI-Bali, Suryadi Darmoko, called on the police to quickly solve the case and reveal who was behind the attack. Darmoko said: The police must be firm and open - absolutely transparent in the case of the attack experience by Gendo. In every assault on pro-democracy movements there is always someone involved behind the scene. We challenge the police to expose who was the intellectual actor behind the attack on Gendo. www.balidiscovery.com

Sex toys in China are not hard to find. They're sold in "adult health" shops around the country, available in hotel minibars, and even on sale by the checkout counter at some convenience stores, next to the gum and candy. Yet this is a country where just 30 years ago public criticism erupted when a magazine published a picture of a couple kissing on its back cover. The about face in attitudes towards sex in China, which began when the prudish Communist government launched its opening and reform drive in the late 1970s and has been catalyzed by the Internet, is creating a prime business opportunity for the sex toy industry, insiders say. The market will grow to around 40 billion yuan ($6.4 billion) by 2014 from around 10 billion yuan at the end of last y e a r, p r e d i c t s L i n Degang, chief executive of an online retailer of sex toys. "Within five years, sex toys will be a common commodity for everyday use," he said. "Sex toys will be a key element of a fashionable lifestyle." Sex toys have become so ubiquitous that various kinds of vibrators can even be bought at FamilyMart Co Ltd convenience stores throughout Shanghai. With price tags of $15 to $17, they are sold by the cashier, along with condoms. Highlighting expectations of a strong upward trajectory in domestic sales, two private equity firms in August jointly invested 300 million yuan into Love Health Science & Technology Co Ltd, the biggest Chinese sex toy manufacturer. Sex toys have existed in China for

mainly due to the Internet. Many online communities, such as those for gays and lesbians and those seeking partner swaps, have sprung up over recent years, said Fang Gang, director of sex and gender institute at Beijing Forestry University. The country's state run broadcaster has aired a program featuring a controversial sexologist, who on the show called for the legalization of homosexual marriages, while an annual sex fair in Guangzhou in southeastern China drew 250,000 visitors last month. Fang said sex is far more than a physical act. "It is a barometer of the entire society. With a more free society comes a more free attitude towards sex, and vice versa," he added. Lin said around 70 percent of his clients, mostly in their 20s and early 30s, were male. Most purchase items the favourite being a double vibrator for their girlfriends. At Yamete Love Store, in a residential area of downtown Shanghai, customers can browse items ranging from inflatable dolls to sexy costumes amid low key lighting as mellow music plays. Most of the items are imported from Japan and Sweden, and carry prices from $100 to $210. Most shoppers, though, still seem to prefer buying online. I feel too embarrassed to buy any sex toys in actual stores," said Candice Zheng, a 25-year old office worker in Zhejiang province, south of Shanghai. "I just order them from on-line shops."
FORBIDDEN PUPPY LOVE Even teenagers were officially "forbidden" to have crushes on each other. "We can say that after 1949, Chinese society was more conservative than in ancient China," said Peng. Things have changed following social and economic reforms that began in the late 1970s, but many Chinese still hold conservative views towards certain elements of sex, such as homosexuality and p o r n o g r a p h y. P o r n o g r a p h i c websites and publications are banned, while young homosexuals often marry to conform to society. But over the last decade, the subject has become an increasingly open topic for debate,

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich. The barman looks at him and says, "Hang on! You're a duck." "I see your eyes are working," replies the duck. "And you can talk!" Exclaims the barman. "I see your ears are working, too," Says the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can I have my beer and my sandwich please?" "Certainly, sorry about that," ays the barman as he pulls the duck's pint. "It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub.. What are you doing round this way?" "I'm working on the building site across the road," Explains the duck. "I'm a plasterer." The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to read it. So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the barman good day and leaves. The same thing happens for two weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town. The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him "You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper and everything!" "Sounds marvelous," says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. "Get him to give me a call." So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, "Hey Mr. Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."
I'm always looking for the next job," Says the duck. "Where is it?" "At the circus," Says the barman. "The circus?" Repeats the duck. "That's right," Replies the barman. "The circus?"

Beckham, 37, has spent the past six seasons with the Galaxy, leading them to an MLS Cup title last season. The announcement comes amid heated speculation that the former England captain could join an A-League club in a guest player capacity this season. Beckham and the Galaxy go for their second consecutive crown when they face the Dynamo in a repeat of last year's final on December 1 at the Home Depot Center. Beckham said the game will be his last for the team as he hopes to move on and become a part-owner of an MLS team in the future. "I've had an incredibly special time playing for the LA Galaxy. However, I wanted to experience one last challenge before the end of my playing career," Beckham said in a statement released by the team. "I don't see this as the end of my relationship with the league as my ambition is to be part of the ownership structure in the future." The Melbourne Heart are already preparing to make a lucrative offer to lure Beckham to Victoria, confirming it and its sponsors will make a six-figure offer for a 10-game guest appearance in the new year. Heart CEO Scott Munn says the club will be competing with offers from all over the world. "I can only assume that there'll be a lot of clubs from around the world making offers," he said. "The great thing that we have playing in our advantage is the timing, that is our season is up and running now. "He's incredibly fit - he's still playing so he can hit the ground running in that January window and play right through to the end of the season." Western Sydney Wanderers and the Central Coast Mariners are also reportedly keen on signing Beckham. 'Early stages' Last week, the A-League said it was still hopeful of negotiating a deal to bring Beckham to the A-League. Football Federation Australia (FFA) confirmed on Friday it had received an approach from the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star's agent, expressing an interest in playing in the A-League this season. Beckham's representatives then contradicted the FFA, saying there were 'absolutely no plans [for Beckham] to play in Australia." The former England captain then told US journalists early Saturday morning that any deal being struck was news to him. But A-League CEO Damien de Bohun confirmed an approach had been made and said negotiations are still in their early stages.

All other AFL clubs will be nervous in the wake of the Kurt Tippett controversy, Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson says. The Crows and Tippett have been charged by the AFL with salary cap cheating and draft tampering in relation to the key forward's expired contract with the club. "I probably shouldn't comment on other clubs but I'm sure this is going to make a lot of other clubs nervous, too," Sanderson told reporters. "There is a lot of greyness surrounding ASAs (additional services agreements) and how players are paid and stuff so probably the other 17 clubs are just double-checking and ensuring that everything is above board. "But as far as I know ... Adelaide has been squeaky clean for 22 years and this has been something that they are going to have to work through and we will certainly get through it." Tippett, the Crows, chief executive Steven Trigg, club football operations manager Phil Harper and his predecessor John Reid have all been charged by the AFL.

The investigation prevented Adelaide trading Tippett, who remains on the club's list until he likely nominates for December's preseason draft. Sanderson said money was central to Queenslandnative Tippett's decision to quit the Crows and request to play for premiers Sydney. "When Kurt told us he was going to leave and he said it was going to be to Sydney, that from our point of view - was a bit of a surprise. There was always the talk that he wanted to return home (to Queensland)," Sanderson said. Sanderson did not raise the Tippett saga with Crows' players when they returned for preseason training on Monday. "We mentioned this morning to the players that all they can do is do their very best to prepare themselves for a great 2013," he said. "We didn't really even talk about it - we didn't feel the need to. "It has been played out pretty heavily in the media obviously but, from our point of view - internally, inside the bubble - things are just business as usual."

"It's a bit out of my hands, to be honest," Sanderson said of likely future draft penalties. "As we stand today, really happy to be involved in this year's draft and we'll bring some good young talent in and, until the investigation is completed, I guess we have just got to wait and see." Tippett became the Crows' highest-paid player on signing a multi-million dollar, three-year contract extension in 2009. But Adelaide admitted last month they had a once-secret deal,

He now holds a 317-point championship lead over Ford's Winterbottom, with only 300 points left on offer this year.

Ask Martha
Dear Martha, I'm a 48 year old, recently separated. Around the time I left my marriage, I met someone else on a chat site. We kept in touch via chat and email. I fell in love, but, didn't really want a new relationship or have to deal with emotions. We met in person in Bali and it was as if I had come home. I didn't ever want to leave her arms. My problem in which I'm seeking advice is this. The new lady is completely wrong for me. She is only 19! She's had a rough life with drugs and violence, she lives overseas, she wants to marry me and have children with me. I have 2 children from my first marriage and had no plans on ever getting married or having more children. Thing is I've fallen for her, despite the age and background differences. Is there any way we can work? Or is this just a dream waiting to be crushed? I'm terrified of bringing a 19 year old home to my children. I live in a small community and have heard what people say about other people in similar situations. I'm not a fan of caring what people think, but can't help it playing on my mind still. Should I stand up for this love? Or is it already doomed? Confused (UK)
the rival states host one each in 2015 with one game that year set aside for a neutral venue, probably Melbourne. Queensland Sports Minister Steve Dickson says the state's debt has cost it the 2013 hosting rights to Origin matches. He says the State Government could not afford a bidding war with New South Wales. Lewis argues the Queensland Government is underestimating the importance and value of the Origin games to Queenslanders. "Look anybody that doesn't fight hard to maintain a bit of loyalty and support for Queensland, I don't believe they're real Queenslanders," Lewis said. "People that don't believe these games aren't the number one earner for Queensland need to go back to primary school." Dickson said it would be financially irresponsible for the Government to write any more large cheques with an existing debt of $65 billion. "If it's about cheque books at the end of the day, maybe New South Wales may have a bigger chequebook than us," he said. "We just can't afford to go blowing big bundles of money at this point in time, on Origin or anything else." New South Wales Premier Barry O'Farrell said the new five-year deal is a fairer arrangement for both states with Victoria being the biggest loser. "We haven't spent a lot of money to get these games," O'Farrell said at a press conference. "Each of these games will bring to the city (Sydney) 9-10 million dollars into the economy." New Blues coach Laurie Daley said the homes games will be an advantage in 2013 but will count for nothing if the side doesn't prepare well. The Blues have been installed as favourite by bookies to break its seven-year losing streak to the Maroons in 2013.

Dear Confused, Is this relationship doomed? Without a doubt. Will you still dive right into it and stand up for love? Almost certainly. For you this young lady - who probably treats you with reverence- is a sanctuary. For her you represent an escape. The truth is we don't often escape ourselves. While right now you look into the heart of that relationship and see yourself through each other's shiny idealistic eyes, this can change very quickly and when the blinkers come off you are both left once again with yourselves. It's easy to say you will not be violent or use drugs when you are being buoyed by the infatuation of a new relationship, that doesn't mean it won't change down the track. She wants a husband and children but you've been there done that already. Honestly I don't think pursuing this is about 'standing up for love', it's about indulging a fantasy, one that will come crashing down within a couple of years. There is no doubt that if you went ahead you would enjoy a wild and exciting ride. Infatuation does that. If you go ahead you do need to consider the costs of that wild ride, namely the effect it will have on your children & your relationship with friends and family. If you do go ahead tread carefully. Don't make any major commitments. A relationship is one thing, moving countries, getting married, selling homes, merging finances or having babies is another. Steer clear of all of it for the foreseeable future dear.

the time was right to return to Melbourne with his wife Bree and their two children Taj and Cove. "I knew the difficulties they experienced when I travelled and was frequently away for two or three days at a time," McPhee said. "I knew, in the background, that wasn't exactly what Bree and I wanted. "I felt I had to make the decision to retire and return home, regardless of whether I was fit enough to play one or two more seasons of football or not."

KC and the Sunshine Band is an American musical group. Founded in 1973 in Miami, Florida, their style has included funk, R&B, and disco. Their most well known songs include the disco hits "That's the Way (I Like It)", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man", "Keep It Comin' Love", "Get Down Tonight", "Give It Up", and "Please Don't Go". They took their name from lead vocalist Harry Wayne Casey's last name ("KC") and the "Sunshine Band" from KC's home state of Florida ('The Sunshine State'). The group was formed in 1973 by Harry Wayne Casey (KC), a record store employee and part-timer at TK Records in Miami. KC originally called the band KC & The Sunshine Junkanoo Band, as he used studio musicians from TK and a local Junkanoo band called the Miami Junkanoo Band. He was then introduced to Richard Finch, who was doing engineering work on records for TK. This was the beginning of the CaseyFinch musical collaboration. The initial members were just Casey and Finch, but they soon added guitarist Jerome Smith (June 18, 1953 - July 28, 2000) and drummer Robert Johnson, both TK studio musicians. The first few songs, "Blow Your Whistle" (September 1973) and "Sound Your Funky Horn" (February 1974), were released as singles, and did well enough on the U.S. R&B chart and overseas that TK wanted a follow up single and album. However, while working on demos for KC & the Sunshine Band the song, "Rock Your Baby" (George McCrae) was created featuring Smith on guitar, and became a number one hit in 51 countries in mid 1974. The band's "Queen of Clubs", which featured unaccredited vocals by McCrae, was a hit in the UK, peaking at #7, and they went on tour there in 1975. With the release of the self titled triple platinum second album KC and the Sunshine Band in 1975 came the group's first major U.S. hit with "Get Down Tonight". It topped the R&B chart in April and the Billboard Hot 100 in August. "That's the Way (I Like It)" also became a number one hit in November 1975 and the group did well at the 1976 Grammy Awards. The 1976 album Part 3 yielded two number one singles: "I'm Your Boogie Man", "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty" and "Keep It Comin' Love" peaked at number two. Their success lasted until the fifth album; their last chart topping hit was "Please Don't Go" in December 1979, hitting #1 for one week in January 1980, and becoming the first #1 hit of the 1980s. With the explosion of new wave music and the declining popularity of disco, the group explored other styles and changed labels, joining Epic Records in 1980 after TK Records went bankrupt. In 1981, the partnership between Finch and Casey came to an acrimonious end. Two years after the release of the previous album, the group released two solo albums with new material, geared toward pop: The Painter and Space Cadet. These albums generated little success, but in 1982, a hit track called "Give It Up" (released as a solo effort but recorded before Casey and Finch split the partnership) from the album All in a Night's Work (brought a return to success in the UK, and appeared two years later in the U.S. Top 40. The song was also featured on the band's next album, 1984's KC Ten. Epic Records, however, refused to issue the song as a single due to its prior failure in the U.S. Because of this, a frustrated Casey formed Meca Records, releasing the single himself on this label in a final attempt to garner the song some success in America. It worked, but the album still failed to surpass expectations. This led to the group falling into stasis around 1985 with Casey's retirement.

Fifteen year-old Australian Lachlan Phelps aims to break the record for holding the longest note on a didgeridoo without using the traditional "circular breathing" technique which lets the player draw breath while still holding a tune. Another Australian will attempt to don the most pairs of underpants worn and in Finland, an attempt will be made on the record for the most ice hockey target shots in 30 seconds.

Lewis Hamilton upset Sebastian Vettel's hopes of clinching the drivers world championship in his 100th race on Monday morning (AEDT) when he produced a dazzling drive for McLaren to win a thrilling United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas. For Vettel, finishing second from pole was a personal disappointment, but not enough to prevent his Red Bull team from winning the constructors title for the third successive season, despite Australian team-mate Mark Webber being forced to retire. Fernando Alonso of Ferrari finished third after starting seventh on the grid - thanks to his team's pragmatic decision to break the gearbox seal on teammate Felipe Massa's car. That podium finish ensured that the title battle will go down to the wire at next weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo. Vettel goes to Interlagos with a lead of 13 points. Vettel has 273 points and Alonso 260. Hamilton, who started second on the grid, made the most of his superior outright speed to pass Vettel on lap 42 of the 56-laps race and claim the 21st victory of his career. The 27-year-old Briton, who leaves McLaren for Mercedes next year, was intent on delivering another win for the team before his departure and did so emphatically as he seized his fourth win this year. Amazingly, it was the first time F1's best three drivers of the current crop had shared a podium and, to mark the Texan

Dhabi winner Kimi Raikkonen. It was a thrilling vision as the cars stretched out and began to heat their tyres to optimum levels, but the focus was clearly at the front of the field where Vettel was unable to shake off his pursuers. Webber, racing in third, had the task of defending Vettel's position, but his part in the race ended after 17 laps when he was forced to retire due to a grearbox failure. By lap 34, after a series of pit stops for tyre changes, Hamilton had closed to within two car lengths of Vettel. This created a sequence of dramatic laps during which Hamilton tantalised Vettel and the crowd by setting up a passing move, using his power advantage and Drag Reduction System (DRS) on the back straight, but without executing it until lap 42 when, after being held up by a back marker, Vettel could not resist him and Hamilton dummied one way and then passed him on the outside. Alonso, driving steadily and quickly, knew his podium position was enough to heep his title dream alive and, thanks to a superb drive from Massa, knew also that he had a Ferrari in fourth behind him to protect him in the closing laps. Massa finished ahead of Jenson Button in the second McLaren. Raikkonen, winner of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix two weeks ago, came home sixth ahead of Lotus team-mate Romain Grosjean, Nico Hulkenberg of Force India, Pastor Maldonado and his Williams team-mate Bruno Senna.
"It's been a long time since we had a win. I'm so proud of the team and grateful for the support we've had." Vettel said: "He had one chance and he took it. It was a tough race, but it was a great race." In front of a sell-out crowd of 135,000 at the new Circuit of the Americas and under a solid blue sky, Vettel made a near-perfect start to pull clear from his 36th pole position and into the lead with Red Bull team-mate Webber advancing to second behind him. Hamilton, starting second, struggled with lack of grip on the slippery side of the track and could not defend against Webber, but stayed third up the hill and into the sweeping left-hander turn one as the field hustled together in the pack. Ferrari's Alonso had a clean start and went round the outside of turn one and into fourth, taking full

"Once a criminal organisation has been declared, a range of measures can be imposed on members, including WA Police applying to the Supreme Court for control orders to stop them associating with other controlled persons, going to banned locations, promoting or recruiting for the organisation, or transferring funds to the organisation,'' he said. For some offences, courts will be required to impose at least two years imprisonment on offenders. Mr Mischin said it was hoped that if members continued their criminal acts once their organisation has been declared, the lengthy jail terms they received would cripple the organisation's ability to operate.

some other shit too. THURSDAY: Vanessa was waiting for me with her vampire-like teeth exposed as her thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl. I couldn't help being a half an hour late; it took me that long to tie my shoes. Vanessa took me to work out with dumbbells. When she was not looking, I ran and hid in the men's room. She sent Lars to find me, then, as punishment, put me on the rowing machine -- which I sank. FRIDAY: I hate that b*tch Vanessa more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anemic little cheerleader. If there were a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat her with it. Vanessa wanted me to work on my triceps I don't have any triceps! And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the F*C**NG Barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich. The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher. Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director? SATURDAY: Vanessa left a message on my answering machine in her grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today. Just hearing her made me want to smash the machine with my planner. However, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel. SUNDAY: I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over. I will also pray that next year,my wife (the b*tch), will choose a gift for me that is fun like a root canal or a vasectomy.

Dear Diary, For my fortieth birthday this year, my wife (the dear) purchased a week of personal training at the local health club for me.
