I was disappointed to see Marion Jones jailed for lying and taking steroids. She was involved in some check fraud with other athletes, and depending on her level of involvement that could certainly warrant jail time. However the judge has said that her jail time is for lying to the Federal Government and taking steroids.

John Chow has wrote some pretty interesting stuff on making money online. I’ll admit I don’t visit John Chow’s site every day. I don’t even visit it every week or every month but I have read some pretty cool things over there when I’ve got the chance.

I’m not 100% qualified to critique John Chow’s site for this reason. And his goals and mine may be different.

But I’ve discovered one critical flaw to the personality blog model.

Let me explain.

Riyo Mori Miss Japan 2007 has won Miss Universe 2007. You can see Riyo Mori being crowned by Miss Puerto Rico Zuleyka Rivera Miss Universe 2006 later on (she actually drops the crown)

Here you can see Riyo Mori in her boho chic style dress and a huge bunch of white, pink, and yellow finely presented roses.

Simply delightful.

More on the crowning soon but first there was some controversy last year as some thought last years runner up Miss Japan 2006 Kurara Chibana should have won over Miss Puerto Rico Zuleyka Rivera. Apparently an interpreter missed a key point in Kurara Chibana’s response during the final interview portion of the competition.

The last time anyone won from Japan won the pageant was in 1959 when Akiko Kojima also from Japan won.

I actually thought Riyo Mori had a good chance after seeing some preliminary promotional photos. Previously I though Miss USA 2007 Rachel Renee Smith had a good chance but she fell over in the evening gown section.

Riyo Mori is a dancer and the daughter of a dance school operator from the small town of Shizuoka at the base of Mount Fuji.

Google Base is now functional in Australia for Australian, and New Zealand based real estate agents.

This is huge for Australian real estate agents. Much more so than New Zealand real estate agents because New Zealand real estate agents do not have to deal with the monopoly situtation that has developed in Australia with RealEstate.com.au
