Chinese soldiers shoot unarmed Tibetan refugees - and it’s all caught on camera.
The Chinese government stated that the soldiers tried to persuade them to turn back, but the refugees became violent and attacked them. Well, it seems pretty clear that the refugees were not attacking them and instead were shot at like toys in a carnival game.

I received a copy of Firm Parts: Upper Body/Standing Legs from Blockbuster yesterday. My legs were a bit tired, and well, I was a bit tired, so I decided just to do Upper Body last night. I actually had been wanting to do this workout for awhile now, but I left my VHS copy in Oregon when I moved. Doh.
As hard and repetitive the old Firms are, I do have to say that they are very effective. This DVD is about 40 minutes long and focuses mostly on the lats, triceps, shoulders and chest. I was able to use my heavier weights for a lot of the exercises, which I am happy about, but my pecs are SORE today!
I also couldn’t do all of the push ups, towards the end I just would do them using the Fanny Lifter since they aren’t as hard that way.
Afterwards, I really wanted to do an ab workout, but I didn’t feel up to Tamilee, Cathe or Debbie. I went with AbJam and I think I am still up in the air as to whether it is a good workout or not. It starts with about 8 minutes of standing ab work which consists of the “tuck” and some zig zags. She also throws in some capoiera throw moves too. It then moves to the floor for some semi traditional ab work. I guess I am up in the air about it because I just don’t “feel” it - I don’t feel like my abs are getting a good workout when I do it. Maybe my form is wrong or my obliques are already pretty strong, but I felt the standing ab work more in my legs than anything else. It’s still a keeper though.
I got my second Firm Parts compilation in the mail today - Tough Tape 2/5 Day Abs, so at least I will have a bit more variety when it comes to ab work.

Hey look everyone! It’s the Banana Guard!
Actually doesn’t seem like a bad idea.

Dad stands trial over daughter’s mutilation
Police say Adem circumcised his daughter with scissors in his Duluth apartment, while someone else held the girl’s legs.
Authorities said the circumcision occurred sometime in 2001 but the mother didn’t discover it until two years later. The mother told police she learned about it while arguing with Adem about female circumcision. The mother told police that she told Adem she didn’t want that to happen to their daughter, but Adem implied the circumcision had already occurred.
I remember finding out about this in college and it just disgusts me. I do find it a little fishy that the mother claims not to have noticed that her daughter had been circumsized for 2 years!
