Phan Thanh Gia?n committed suicide by drinking poison after his efforts at
starving failed.

During the Ta^y So+n period, Vo~ Ta'nh (who fought on the Nguye^~n A'nh
side) self-immolated when Bi`nh DDi.nh fell to the Ta^y So+n in 1801.  It
must be noted that many Nguye^~n soldiers also committed suicide along
with Vo~ Ta'nh (including Ngo^ Tu`ng Cha^u who drank poison.)

   I do agree with you on this issue. At the same time, I believe that
the kind of economic mess we are in right now is just another face of
depression, instead of being called "recession" like the ones occurred
in 1974 and 1982. Economists are arguing about the best term they can
come up with, such as stagnation and depression for the current crisis.
The economic predicament facing us in this decade may only be the tip of
the iceberg, for the real problem is the lack of leadership in the White
House. Bush was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, which is why he
repeated many times in the media that the economy is not as bad as people
think. I urge my compatriots around this country to think twice and many
times more before voting for G. Bush.

There is a famous proverb which says that, if you have to face with

Hey you guys, you got to come to this party. These guys know how 
to party - 21 hours straight! This got to be a one heck of a party. I'm an UIUC alumnus, and I remember the time I was there, we never partied that hard. This 
is like the saying in Vietnamese, "Ha^.u sanh kha? uy'"

Party on, Dudes!

or may I say, "Party on, Dudes and Dudetts!!"

        Like a softly spoken rhyme.
        Like a lover's park,
        the leaves must fall 
        in a sweetly shaped design.

                On a night when gentle breezes blow 
                and the rain will softly fall
                I will hold you close
                and love you so
                and my heart will say it all

        I'll always love you so.
        Forever isn't long enough you know.
        I'll never let you go.
        I'll always love you so.

        Til the sun forgets to shine above

                Like a wish that's just come true

A leper walks into a bar to get a beer. This is not your ordinary
leper - he is particularly disgusting. He has pus oozing off of his
hands and arms, and little bits of flesh hanging by threads. The
bartender takes one look at him and turns yellow. The leper says,
"I'm sorry, I know I look disgusting, but I really wanted to have
a beer. I'll leave if you like." The bartender says, "That's OK,
I'll get you a beer. Everyone is welcome here."

So the leper is drinking his beer, and meanwhile, the bartender 
has turned from yellow to green, and is getting greener. Finally,
the bartender pukes all over the bar. The leper says, "I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have come in here. I know I'm disgusting to look at."

The bartender says, "Oh no, it's not you. It's the guy next to
you. He's been dipping his chips in your hand for the last five
minutes."

Dear Maryland/DC netters:

 I will be moving to MD by the end of this month from Boston, Massachusetts
and I desperately need helps from you. Here's my situation:

 I'll start working for Hughes Network Systems in Germantown on Nov. 2nd
and will probably live around Germantown, Gaithersburg, etc. The problem is
that I have a sister who is 21 years old and currently attend high school
in MA but she won't be eligible to attend MD's public high schools due to 
her age (I already talked to the counselor at Dept. of Edu. in Mongomery 
county). The only altenative I could think of right now is sending her to 
private high school, however, I don't know any private high schools in those
mentioned areas and I'm not sure if private high schools would accept 21+
years old student. 

 I would appreciate very very much if you could help by telling me the
name(s) of private high school around those areas, giving me suggestions,
or anything. Please write/call me at:

Hello,

I'll be attending a seminar in Pittsburgh from Monday 10/19 to Friday 10/23 and
would like to meet with the locals.  Also, if someone can tell me a few points
of interests or attractions that a tourist may want to see there.

Many thanks.
