"Everyday, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can." - Dalai Lama

"Renowned Master Shrine Builder (Torio), Shinshichi Nakatani, was commissioned by the Japanese government to build a Drum Bridge (taiko Bashi) for the 1894 San Francisco Midwinter Fair. Shinshichi made the grueling trip by boat in the early 1890's to build the bridge, only to discover the lack of proper building materials available. He then returned to his home in Japan where he constructed the original drum bridge. After completion, the bridge received a Shinto Blessing and was dismantled for it's sea voyage to San Francisco. Before the bridge could be reassembled, the Bell Gate (Shoro-no-mon) completed, the project ran out of funds. Shinshichi once again crossed the ocean, this time to sell his family's rice fields (Tambo) to fund the construction. Shinshichi's son remained in San Francisco for the next forty years sending his earnings to Japan to regain possession of the Tambo."

Photobucket Tibetan foxes are very unusual looking canids. They have a very broad, square head, with small triangular ears set low on the head. Their eyes are spaced far apart and set high on their forehead. Their long, square muzzle is very broad in profile but narrow in width. The narrow muzzle makes the wide face appear even wider by proportion. They have a very tiny black nose. Their face looks distorted and odd when compared to other canines. They are small foxes, about the size of a grey fox. They are rusty yellow in color, with grey on the sides of the body, and white on the face and underbody. They have acute hearing. Their teeth are well-developed, especially the canines, which are longer than in most other foxes. They have dense fur to protect them from high winds. The Tibetan fox ranges in the Tibetan Plateau of Nepal, India and China, in altitudes up to 5300 m. This looks photoshopped, doesn't it?

From the page: "... before he arrives at the White House, he will probably be forced to sign off. In addition to concerns about e-mail security, he faces the Presidential Records Act, which puts his correspondence in the official record and ultimately up for public review, and the threat of subpoenas. A decision has not been made on whether he could become the first e-mailing president, but aides said that seemed doubtful." Good thing he's not also addicted to SU.
