Riot at the Beijing Apple Store

The iPad2 has caused a few injuries, due to the long lines to get into the Beijing store and people trying to jump them. An Apple employee took the matter into his hands and attempted to intervene when there reports of people trying to cut others. He grabbed at those cutting the line which caused the unrest. When he left the area, the front door was smashed open and a riot broke out, sending four to the hospital.

Bathing Suit Causes Uproar

Who knew a skimpy item of clothing could cause such a ruckus? It featured a print of a Hindu goddess named Lakshmi and was featured at the Australian Fashion Week. Lisa Blue is responsible for the uproar, and had offended quite a few of people in the Hindu community. She then followed with the following response on Facebook:

We would like to offer an apology to anyone we may have offended and advise that the image of Goddess Lakshmi will not appear on any piece of Lisa Blue swimwear for the new season, with a halt put on all production of the new range and pieces shown on the runway from last week removed.

Lisa Blue has been born out of a love of conservation, spirituality and a respect for all people. At no time would we ever have intended that the brand would cause offence. The use of images of Goddess Lakshmi was not in any way a measure of calculated risk taking, simply it was a desire to celebrate different cultures and share that through our brand.

Bin Laden is Finally Found.. and Killed

The hunt for Osama Bin Laden has finally come to an end. The al Qaeda leader was thought to be hiding in caves, but was actually found in a mansion close to a Paki military base. He was later laid to rest at sea, which sparked a memorable quote that appeared in my news feed: "I thought you weren't allowed to throw trash in the ocean".

Some Insight on Angie

Cozy things make me happy. Cooking while listening to soft tunes, reading in an oversized chair paired with a throw blanket and spending the evening eating ice cream in sweats are just a few prime examples of what keeps me sane. I’m the type to savor the moment, which is quite difficult to do living in New York City. But I find a way.

The restaurant and bar scene here are simply undeniable. Although I love all the comforts of being home, don’t be fooled. In order to get some sort of stress release from the work week (which also includes school and an internship for me, oh joy) I am surrounded by friends and loud music on the weekends. There’s one restaurant in particular that allows me to unwind with excellent food in front of me, and anything that makes my stomach happy makes me even happier. La Nonna of Williamsburg serves me the best Italian comfort food, and is frequently visited when I crave “family time” with friends.

            I love my independence and value it as if it were the most precious stone. I moved from the infamous New Jersey to New York in order to obtain it, and I’ve never been happier. This independence pushed me to do some pretty cool things, including studying abroad, also known as the best decision of my life. I made a second family over there in Europe, and I brought them back to the states with me. Traveling is the best way to educate yourself in what really matters. Truly knowing a world outside of your town or state gives you a sharp edge on dull people who don’t take risks. And that’s what life is all about.

Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego come to Facebook

Blue Fang Games has made quite a few people happy in the Facebook world. When I signed into my account, I was surprised to find quite a few updates about these games joining the other addictive pastimes in the Facebook world. I remember being in middle school and having friends who were addicted to Oregon Trail. We were allowed to play it in typing class as soon as we finished out typing assignments (they figured it made us type faster). Blue Fang did give the some new twists, like a "wagon party".

My personal favorite was Carmen Sandiego. I'm a fan of crime fiction AND travel, so this was perfect for me. These games will certainly bring in plenty of people. I can't think of one person who doesn't like taking the occasional trip down memory lane.

Nutritious Tip of the day

Getting everything in the supermarket that states "Low-Fat" or "No-Fat" on the label is certainly not the way to go. The body needs NUTRITIOUS fats, like the fats that can be found in organic whole milk and organic whole milk yogurt. Greek yogurts are a great source of good fat.

Trouble in Egypt

The events going on in Egypt have shocked many across the world. The protests have been going on for over a week and doesn't show signs of stopping. The Egyptian civilians are trying to rid of President Hosni Mubarak, who has been in rule for nearly 30 years. Internet and phone connections were previously disabled, but  phone connections have been restored to the people. These forms of communication that we use freely here in the US have been snatched from the Egyptian citizens. They are continuing to fight and I honestly don't see them giving up any time soon.
