Let's Go Raptors! Clap, Clap, cl, cl, Clap. Man - that was a fun evening. Final Score: Raptors 98 - Bucks 95. I am 2-0 when it comes to Raptors-Bucks games here in Milwaukee. For the first three quarter, I was sitting in the upper deck with my classmates but in the fourth quarter a few of us met up with a co-worker who had amazing seats. We went down and sat with him. 6 rows from the court directly opposite the Bucks bench. It was so cool to sit down there and see everything going on live. The players are so huge - you reallly appreciate it in person. Once I get my photos, I'll be sure to show ya'll. So, it seems that everyone is saying that Vince shouldn't start in the NBA All Star game this season which is on Sunday. It's a touchy subject cause he has only played about 13 games so far this season BUT he was voted in by the fans who get to vote in the all star starting lineup. Some players like Ray Allen are saying that he should step aside cause other players deserve it more than he does. I'm torn - I see both sides of the arguement.

Check out these two e-mails...I thought they were both interesting:

GLOBALIZATION:
What is globalization, one may ask. Well, below here is probably the best example on the definition of globalization.
Question : What is the height of globalization?
Answer : Princess Diana's death
Question : How come?
Answer : An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian Who was high on Scottish whiskey, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines! And this is written by a
pakistani, using Bill Gates' technology which he stole from the Japanese. And you are probably reading this on one of the IBM clones that use taiwanese-made chips, and Korean made monitors, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by lorries driven by Indians, hijacked by Indonesians and finally sold to you by a Chinese! That's Globalization!!!

and this one about Heart Attacks could be helpful...By no means however am I saying that I've consulted any medical sources but I am simply telling ya what I've heard...

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK ALONE
If everyone who gets this sends it to 10 people, you can bet that we'll save at least one life. Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly, you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home; unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. What can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself. Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed to be in order.

Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing

repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough. The cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. And a cough must be repeated about every 2 seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!
