But let me give a brief summary because I'm about to board a flight.<br /> <br /> Sony Pictures released a movie called The Interview, a comedy about a fictional assassination of North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un.. North Korean didn't find it funny and hacked into Sony's computers, rendering thousands of computers inoperable and forced Sony to take its entire computer network offline. That wasn't enough, they then threatened terror attack on US citizens if Sony doesn't cancel showing the movie, forcing Sony to pull the interview from theaters and losing almost $200m. Then the US govt got involved and told Sony to go ahead and release the movie, that they don't take lightly to threats and promised to retaliate for the attack on Sony. It looks like they've kept their to promise. North Korea is currently offline. Lol<br /> <br />     "Internet connectivity between North Korea and the outside world is currently suffering one of its worst outages in recent memory, suggesting that the country may be enduring a mass cyber attack a few days after President Obama warned the US would launch a "proportional response" to North Korea's hack against Sony<br /> <br />     North Korea, which has four official networks connecting the country to the Internet -- all of which route through China -- began experiencing intermittent problems yesterday and today went completely black, according to Doug Madory, director of Internet analysis at Dyn Research in Hanover, New Hampshire." Bloomberg reports.<br /> <br /> I find this so hilarious! Moral of the story, don't mess with the US. Will be MIA for a few hours... traveling out of the country. See you guys soon!

WOA: A CHINESE MAN SUCCESSFULLY SUED WIFE FOR UGLY CHILDREN

<p>A Chinese man divorced and then sued his ex-<br> wife for giving birth to what he called an<br> extremely ugly baby girl, the Irish Times reported.<br> Initially, Jian Feng accused his wife of infidelity, so sure that he could never father an unattractive child.</p> <p>When a DNA test proved that the baby was his, Feng’s wife came clean on a little secret — before they met, she had undergone about<br> $100,000 worth of cosmetic surgery in South Korea.</p> <p>Feng sued his ex-wife on the grounds of false pretenses, for not telling him about the plastic surgery and duping him into thinking she was beautiful, The Huffington Post reported.</p> <p>The kicker? He won. A judge agreed with Feng’s argument and ordered his ex-wife to fork over $120,000.<br> “I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues,” he told the Irish Times. “Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where<br> it horrified me.”</p> <p>UPDATE: According to the New York Post this story has been circulating for years on the internet and reports of Feng’s lawsuit against his wife were originally reported in European and US newspapers in 2004, but with no details of any adjudication or payout. While many have cast doubt on the wild tale, details of an alleged civil settlement were reported on<br> Chinese Web sites last year and English-language<br> media this week.</p> <p>TELL US: What do you think?</p> <p>Source:Cocoafab</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BT0oOU10qh4/VARdpZqXsoI/AAAAAAAAAtY/UGf5Zpts-4g/s1600/plasticsurgeryparents.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-BT0oOU10qh4/VARdpZqXsoI/AAAAAAAAAtY/UGf5Zpts-4g/s640/plasticsurgeryparents.jpg"> </a> </div>

Masturbation – fun or folly?

<p dir="ltr"><u>At</u> the risk of sounding like a broken record, or worse yet, dismissive of your concerns, the real harm here is not physical. It's all the worry, shame, and conflict attached to masturbation by so many men, women, and children, thanks to negative associations with all kinds of sex — done by oneself and with others.</p> <p dir="ltr"><b>Strong negative messages</b><br> These messages come from so many influential places – often for most of one's lifetime. It may not be true for you, but this cloud that hangs<br> over many masturbators might send some looking for physical "harm" from this popular practice. It can be a way of justifying any bad feelings and beliefs about masturbation that might never allow going it alone totally okay.</p> <p dir="ltr">'<b>Blame everything on</b><br> <b>masturbation'</b><br> That said, your "blame-it-on-masturbation"<br> reasoning is understandable. If one sprouts hair in "strange" places, sports dark circles under the eyes, and says goodbye to those always reliable<br> erections during and after stretches of solo-sex, one could easily conclude that these unwanted reactions came on as a result of whacking off.<br> Then, could it not also be said that hair loss, far-sightedness, and love handles also owe it to masturbation? And what about greater self- confidence, career changes, and the urge to buy<br> property? The point: is it possible that all of these occurrences stem from something besides genital stimulation? Might ageing also be the<br> culprit?</p> <p dir="ltr">It may not come up around the copier and coffee <u>table</u>, but many twenty- and thirty something's now include big black nose and ear hair plucking in their regular grooming routine. They'd also put down difficulty getting it up and keeping it there as a getting older symptom. Bags under the eyes? Yep, that's on the list, too.</p> <p dir="ltr"><b>How about an experiment?</b><br> If you're not convinced that masturbation doesn't<br> play a direct role in the physical "consequences"<br> that you're now experiencing, how about<br> conducting an experiment? Masturbate less often,<br> or refrain from doing it for a few months and<br> see if your symptoms disappear.<br> Take note that not "relieving" yourself for an<br> extended period of time may lead to other<br> unwanted physical and psychological situations,<br> including irritability, difficulty concentrating, insomnia,<br> and wet dreams. Now, it is possible that any<br> stress, guilt, disgust, etc. with your personal sex<br> play is making it harder to get and stay hard –<br> these feelings are frequently powerful obstructions<br> to sexual arousal. Also, if you're masturbating<br> past your bedtime, dark circles may stare back<br> at you the next morning.<br> </p>

10 early signs that you're in an abusive relationship

<p dir="ltr"><b><u>Lagos</u></b> - Is this real love, or are you on a shortcut to a private hell of abuse? Here’s how you can tell.</p> <p dir="ltr">Love is blind – especially when you’re head over heels.<br> But real danger could be lurking behind the flowers.<br> Abuse comes in many forms (emotional, sexual and physical). <br> For an abuser, relationships are about<br> control and possession and jealousy, but never love.<br> You may be able to escape and spare yourself a broken heart and a black eye if you look out for the following warning signs:</p> <p dir="ltr">Too much, too soon<br> You’ve known the guy for less than a few weeks and he is starting to talk about moving in together, or marriage, or about kids. You feel flattered, but<br> pressurised, and he keeps pushing.<br> If he’s pushing for commitment long before you’re ready to do anything of the kind, this guy is mightily insecure and is looking to formalise your relationship<br> to give him a sense of worth and accomplishment and ownership over you. For him, this is not about your happiness. '<br> Heart-lung machine<br> He wants to be with you all the time, and if you want to spend some time with your friends, he tags along whether he is invited or not.<br> He plans your weekends, your evenings and springs surprises on you. But he never really asks what you want to do.<br> You start to feel a bit claustrophobic, even though the attention is initially flattering. You start to get the feeling that his whole life is about this relationship.<br> Gifts galore<br> He showers you with gifts – some of them huge and expensive and inappropriately large. This makes you feel<br> uneasy. He is doing this to create a sense of obligation in you.<br> It’s difficult to say no to someone who is so generous to you. The odd bunch of flowers is fine, but jewellery<br> and designer items are inappropriate at the beginning of a relationship.<br> Oh, it’s you, He shows up at your work constantly and comes to your<br> home uninvited on a constant basis. This is a dangerous, sign, as these could be the beginning stages of stalking behaviour.<br> It’s not so much that he wants to see you – he’s checking up on you.<br> Telephone terrorist<br> He phones constantly (in fact, he probably phoned you the first time the very day after he met you) and<br> sends text messages all the time. This is a preamble to possible future controlling/stalking behaviour. He<br> gets agitated when he can’t get hold of you.<br> Your friends/family express reservations<br> More than one friend tells you to take it slowly. They<br> can’t quite put their finger on it, but something<br> about this guy bothers them. They might even find him<br> a little creepy, but are too polite to say so.<br> Temper, temper<br> He has road rage attacks, and is aggressive to people<br> who do not do exactly as he wants them to.<br> He feels he is right about everything and things<br> that go wrong are always someone else’s fault.<br> This guy has serious ego and control issues and is<br> paranoid. He breaks things. The message behind this is<br> clear: this is what happens when I don’t get what I<br> want, and you could be next.<br> He has few long-term friends<br> His friendships all seem relatively recent. He fights<br> with everyone and they stop being his friends. Once or<br> twice, OK, but all the time? He will be fighting with<br> you next. That’s a promise.<br> He is also quite secretive about his own life, friends,<br> family and connections and says only nasty things about<br> his exes if he speaks about them at all. This guy has a<br> history he doesn’t want you to find out about.<br> He isolates you<br> He makes it uncomfortable for friends or family to<br> visit, and starts isolating you by criticising everyone<br> you know, or telling you they are not good for you.<br> This is done very subtly, and is often noticed by others<br> before you pick up on it. He also starts belittling you<br> in front of others.<br> Jealousy makes you nasty<br> He watches your every move and starts accusing you of<br> flirting with other men, or cheating on him.<br> He starts to try and exercise control over what you<br> wear, how you do your hair, where you go and with whom.<br> If you don’t comply he will start to insult you and<br> possibly even start calling you names.</p> <p dir="ltr">Get out, and get out fast. It gets more and more difficult the longer you stay. And no, nothing you do is going to change or placate this guy. He doesn’t want to be placated. Don’t even try. Just run.<br> </p>
