Black Friday!!! by Ahmad
Unbelievable discounts, this was my impression on Black Friday deals. I was told there will be huge discounts on all kind of stuff in the stores, starting with clothes, electronics, food and all kind of stuff. This was amazing; I couldn't decide what I should focus on. I am really needed to by some heavy clothes for winter, which comes on doors, yet I went to Best Buy store! I love electronics things especially when become on sale or clearance. Therefore, I bought GPS, headphone and alarm clock. Actually, after I left the store, I came back in the same day to walk around, and to see what I missed. I went to computers section to check out for new laptops and programs, but I didn't find some interesting, so I switched to games section and there weren't any real discounts. After I spent too much time in Best Buy, almost a whole day, I decided to go back home. During my way home, friend of mine called asking for my advice on particular kind of laptops that I had the same kind long time ago. He was talking from Best Buy! And asked me to come and help him. I thought about returned to the store, but I was very tired, so I apologized, and helped him through cell phone. I didn't recommended to buy laptops that day because I think they were showing the Undesirable kinds and hide the good laptops that day, or showing the good stuff in the same prices. After long day I went back home, and took a shower, then I went to bed dreaming in laptops.

The Wonderful Place in Riverside
By: Kaz
Have you ever heard Mission Inn since you came here? Maybe some classmates have already heard that name. On last Wednesday, I visited there with my conversation partner. He explained about that building. His talk was very interesting to me. Thus, I decided to write about Mission Inn.
Mission Inn, the landmark place in downtown Riverside, was built in 1876 by Christopher Columbus Miller, when you enter at the gate, you can see an oriental big bell; in addition, you can see the Miller’s statue on left side while you walk down toward to the entrance. When I walked into the entrance, I was surprised because the atmosphere of the entrance was different from outside. I felt as if I were in the building on 19th century. In other words, that space was filled with noble atmosphere. After then, I went to a restaurant. That restaurant looked very expensive. He explained me when he visited there, he paid ??? dollars per one person.(If you want to know the price, please ask me!) Of cause, when I heard that price, I was surprised. But he said, “It’s expensive, but the quality is very good.” I think so too, but maybe I won’t visit there. Also, the stay fee is expensive too.
Why Mission Inn is an exclusive hotel? As you know, this place has long history. Moreover, many famous persons, especially 10 presidents of the U.S, stayed there. Richard Nixon, one of president visiting there, was married at that place because Mission Inn has two chapels. Also, Ronald Reagan visited there during their honeymoon. When you are in the entrance, you can see their pictures on the wall. Furthermore, you can see a big chair too. This chair was for William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the U.S. When you see that chair, you will be surprised, I believe.
Finally, if you are interested in going to Mission Inn, I recommended you to go there during Thanksgiving or Christmas. On last November, I watched the news, and then an announcer began to speak about the wonderful building decorated with various colors lights. At first, I didn’t know where that building was. But I gradually understood he was talking about Mission Inn. If I have time during Thanksgiving, probably I will go there. Also, my conversation partner said the building was decorated during Christmas every year. But be careful! There are so many people during these seasons, so I think what you go there with a few your friends is better.
If you have time and a car, I recommend you to go to Mission Inn because the hotel has very different atmosphere from other hotels. Also, this experience is the chance when you know more about Riverside, I guess.

The Charms of Cats
By Asami
Which animal do you like better, cats or dogs? I like all kinds of animals, but especially, I love cats the best. Actually, I have 6 cats in Japan. Do you know that cats have a lot of charms? Now, I want to show you the reasons to let you like cats more and more!
First of all, you may think that cats are selfish and moody. Actually, cats are not as obedient as dogs because their ancestor called Felis silvestris did not need to live in a group. Therefore, still now, cats stay away from other
s because they are naturally independent and clever enough to live alone.
secondly, cats always keep proper and comfortable distance from humans. However, they sometimes fawn on the master. I think cat's character is suitable for us because now we have to face a lot of stresses in a society every day, and we don't want to get any burden.
In addition, cats have beautiful eyes and pretty hands(palms). Whenever I see their cute apperance, it makes me glad and relaxed! I think cats will surely make your life happier. Why don't you have a cat in your house??☆

My army life in Korea
By Jung
In Korea, most of male have to go to the military, because of their liability for military service. In general, men go to army between 19 and 28 years old and they can choose one of military type, the air force, the navy, the army and the marine. And in the military, we have to spend about 2 years and we can go out of the army only in vacation which is totally between 35 and 50 days. There are 4 grades, each of them about 6 months. I finished the army, so I want to talk about my army life which I have never forgotten
I went to the army November 27th in 2006 and finished November 10th in 2008, almost 715 days which include vacations. I never forget the day when I went to an army recruit training center. I went to there with my parents, younger brother and girl friend. It was raining a lot. It was too difficult to leave them and my mother’s eyes were with tears, so we parted in tears. After that I entered an army recruit training center and I spent 4 weeks in there to train, throwing a hand grenade, marksmanship for shooting, marching and various basic training. After this training period, I went to my unit. It was real beginning of my army life. There were many leading members and senior members who came to the army faster than me, higher in ranks than me. Many Korean guys who finished army said living with senior members was the most difficult thing in army life. Because they could order to me and I had to obey them. At first time it was difficult to adjust the army but fortunately I could adapt to army life and lived well. Sometimes I got a vacation and I could go to my home and meet friends, many soldiers could stand their life because of vacation and they concentrated on how to get more vacations. But time goes fly, I could finish my army very well.
Many people ask me how was the army life? And I always said that at once is good but not more. I could learn and experience many things such as military society which was kind of real society, an independent spirit, self confidence, good habits, pride, how to live and how to deal with lower grade people. And above all I felt about my parents’ love and importance, so I decided to be a good son to my parents. If you want to know about army, please ask to me

The Shaolin Temple
By: Adam
The Shaolin Temple, Which is in my city, is famous of the Shaolin Kongfu in the world.The Shaolin Temple was built in 495 AD by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty for the Indian monk Batuo. Thirty two years later, another Indian monk Bodhidharma arrived at Shaolin temple. He is the first monk preaching Chan doctrines here, thus was honored as the first Patriarch of Chinese Chan. Thereafter, Shaolin Temple was recognized as the origin of Chan Buddhism.
In China, People all Know a Sentence,"All Kongfu come from Shaolin". That is not ture, but most kinds of Chinese Kongfu are learned from The Shaolin Temple. There are more than a thousand Kongfu school in my city to teach several semple kinds of Shaolin Kongfu. Kongfu is not used for knock down onthers, and usually Chinese want to be healthy and strong by exercising Kongfu everyday. All of the schools will teach their students that DO NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY YOUR FORCE in the frist class.
The movie, named The shaolin Temple, was shot in 1982 by Jet Li. It also is Jet Li's frist movie. the film is talking about a history story of Shaolin in Great Tang. 13 monks who came from the Shaolin Temple saved a person who soldiers was hunting. That person became the king of Great Tang several years later, but the temple were involved in the war, and many monks were killed in those years.

Turkey Rice
By Julia
Turkey is a common meat in America. There are a lot of different ways to cook turkeys here, but I don’t like American style turkey. I always feel the turkey have a bad smelling. Turkey rice is a famous food in my hometown, Chia-Yi. It is very to cook, but we don’t make it at home because there are many stalls which sell that in my hometown, and it’s inexpensive (One bowl of the turkey rice is less than one dollar). The following is the recipe. The first step of cooking, put turkey into the boiling water and simmer for two hours. And then, slice the turkey and put on the rice. The final step is to top with gray.
When did we start to eat the turkey rice? The first person, Mr. Lin, stared selling the rice sixty years ago. At that time, the people’s lives were not good. They just could eat meat on the important days. He thank the turkey was inexpensive, and people couldn’t have a lot of chances to eat that. In addition, the turkey was al dente; it was totally different form the regular chicken. For these reasons, the turkey rice was more and more popular in my hometown.
Today, there are more than five famous stalls in Chia-Yi. I have tried to the most of them, but I never tried the one, Smiling Turkey Rice, which opens from 2:30 A.M. until they sell out. According to my friend, if we want to eat the rice, we have to wait more than one hour because they have a long line at 1 A.M., even if they open at 2:30 A.M. When I go back to my hometown, I should be home by 11 P.M., so I never have a chance to go to the stall. Now, I am already tired of the American style turkey. I wish that I could go back to Taiwan to eat the turkey rice.

causes of choosing Loma Linda University for my MS degree
by: BAIAN BAATTAIAH
In the united states of America, Each university has its own specifications that are characterized by, and there are in each university strength points which attract the students to that university. Loma Linda university has its own characteristics which attracted me in term of three points; First, Loma Linda university offering master degree in physical therapy for students who graduated with bachelor degree in physical therapy field also has all degrees that I am seeking for as DPT and Ph.D. Second, Loma Linda university is located at the most beautiful state in united states and that lead me to have appropriate environment for study. Third, size of the town that Loma Linda located in is also suitable for study because it prevents wasting time and makes me focus in study instead of going out to the recreational areas such as in large city. But still Loma Lind university has short distance to the finest city in America (LA) so if we have enough and free time we can go and have fun. In conclusion, I have chosen Loma Linda university to pursue post graduation degrees in order to people's praise and its characteristic.
