I normally use Ansell condoms, but switched to some Durex ones, they don't indicate where they are manufactured, and I've had two snap/burst, never had this issue with Ansell.

Now im paranoid they are made in China and not Thailand the land of best condoms.

LOL, no, but LOL at the story anyway. He's older than that, and has a different surname.

The REAL update, since last page's chat log, is that he is complaining (and CG's brother and cousin) he hasn't had water for three days because that was a woman's job to turn on the water pump for the house. Many apartments use a water pump to pump the municipal water up to the giant tank on the roof. When it's full, they turn off the pump until it goes empty. Newer and/or good quality pumps have automatic sensors that do it themselves without human intervention, but older or cheaper pumps require someone to check the water levels or wait until the water runs out. This is my problem here in India, with the tank being on my roof, but my downstairs neighbors having the switch to turn it on.

Anyway, the dad is whining he hasn't been able to bath or "Wwash his clothes or cook" for several days now, because no water. By "wash his clothes and cook," he means that whatever lady he hired to do that for him and the other males living since they are incapable of taking care of themselves. CG's mom was the one who knows where the switch is, and she's in Shenzhen now with CG's brother. The dad would rather cry about it and demand someone who knows where the switch is to return back home instead of asking to learn where it is so he can do it himself.

Baronjutter: Dec 31, 2007; "Tiny Trains"

I've noticed a trend of "helplessness as a matter of gender identity" being a big thing with a lot of chinese people I've known. Like it's considered masculine to be pathetically helpless when it comes to any household work, most of the time they're honestly helpless but sometimes they just have to pretend to be because of gender roles. Women will be proud of their home-running skills and specially like to brag about how well they manage the family finances but the moment there's a male designated task they will very proudly and adamantly let everyone know how helpless and useless they are in that task. It's not pathetic and shameful, it's a virtue to be ignorant or certain knowledge or useless at certain tasks. Also being physically weak or even clumsy to the point that you look like you're ready to collapse after being in zero-gravity for years with atrophied muscles is the mark of a very feminine and high class lady. Drive everywhere, take the elevator, get a man to lift and carry everything, otherwise you might develop a muscle and look like a gross body builder.

Beijing nursery 'needle abuse' of children shocks China

A Beijing nursery is accused of giving injections and feeding drugs to toddlers, in a case that has sparked outrage in China.
Authorities are now investigating the nursery, which is a branch of the well-known RYB Education chain.
The company says it "deeply apologises" for the matter that has caused "severe disquiet".
Beijing officials are also conducting a security check in all nurseries in the Chinese capital.
The incident comes weeks after a Shanghai childcare centre was alleged to have abused several toddlers.
'Forced to stand naked'
At least eight children attending the RYB Education pre-school in the upscale Chaoyang district are said to have been injected with unknown substances.
Parents told local media they had discovered needle marks on their children's bodies in recent days, and also circulated photographs online.

They also said their children were fed pills or syrup before their naptime. One father told state broadcaster CCTV that his child had said that every day after lunch they would be given two white pills, and "go to sleep" after eating the pills.
Local media report that some parents are also alleging possible sexual abuse, saying their children were stripped naked.
On Thursday, several parents gathered outside the kindergarten to protest. Some told Caixin Global that they suspected teachers had used needles to discipline children.
"Disobedient students were also forced to stand naked or were locked up in a dark room at the kindergarten," one parent told the news portal.
Police have seized CCTV footage at the nursery, and three teachers have also been suspended.
The Beijing Municipal Commission of Education said that a "comprehensive security check" was being conducted in all nurseries in Beijing.

RYB Education issued a statement on Thursday (in Chinese) saying it was co-operating with police and added: "We deeply apologise for this matter which has brought severe disquiet to parents and society!"
It also said: "If any wrongdoing is found, we will not shake off the responsibility. And we have also reported to the police some false accusations against us."
The company is one of China's most well-known early childhood education providers, and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in September.
Suspected censorship
The case has sparked an intense outcry and reignited anxieties over childcare standards in China, which has seen other cases of abuse at nurseries in recent years.
Last year four teachers at a RYB nursery in Jilin province were jailed for abuse, also involving giving injections to children. State news agency Xinhua reported at the time that one child was found to have more than 50 needle marks.

Mainstream media have extensively covered the latest Beijing case, which has drawn tens of thousands of comments on microblogging network Sina Weibo.
Most expressed outrage at the nursery and education authorities, and demanded fuller explanations as well as heavier punishments for the teachers. "Suspension? That's just too easy," said one commenter, while another said: "Don't let these beasts harm anyone else!"
Many also claimed that some online discussion was being scrubbed. A check on FreeWeibo, a website which tracks censorship on the network, found the top censored search was "Honghuanglan", RYB Education's Chinese name.
"The authorities are covering things up, and have an attitude where they do not directly answer questions. After this, no matter what kind of explanations they give, it will be hard to believe them. They are losing public trust step by step!" said one commenter.
An issue with explosive potential
Stephen McDonell, BBC News, Beijing
A storm of social media attention came after a crowd of angry Beijing parents gathered outside the kindergarten.
There are reports that police have already confirmed that the marks on the children are consistent with needle punctures.
Realising the explosive potential for this issue to spread, the Beijing education authorities have been quick to announce a full safety check of all kindergartens under its control.
Shock over the allegations follows an investigation last month into bruised children at a kindergarten in Wuhan, Hubei province and another scandal in Shanghai, also in November this year, after a video was released appearing to show kindergarten children being assaulted and injured by teachers.

This is not an image you �LIKE� but needs to be shown and is published in Nat Geo Mag this month. Poaching of jaguars is rampant again like is was back in the 60�s and 70�s. It needs to be stopped and showing images like this is one way to make that happen - get it out in the press and hopefully Governments will be forced by their citizens to act. Stay tuned in the next few weeks for more like this, unfortunately.

In a community outside of Iquitos, Peru local indigenous people sell the skins of jaguars that they have killed.
One village chief told us he hunts jaguar all year long as in October someone from a �Chinese corporation� comes to buy the 4 canines from each jaguar. The skins do not sell for very much as the buyer does not want them and they are illegal to export for tourists, as are the teeth and any other part of the jaguar.

My @natgeo jaguar story came out this week - the December issue of National Geographic Magazine! and LOOK for our @NatGeowild Big Cat Week show which premiers on Dec 10th @ 9PM, filmed with the amazing @bertiegregory.

Jaguars are the 3rd largest of the big cats. Found from US / Mexico border to northern Argentina. Also poaching for skins, bones and teeth is growing for the first time since the 1970�s to feed the demand for people who think they receive the �power of the jaguar through their teeth�, Chinese Traditional Medicine and now Luxury items from endangered species. �When the buying stops, the killing can too.� @wildaid @bertiegregory

loving TCM strikes again, with an even more dumber idea than eating the dicks.
