I was teased by my family and friends about my flat "pancake" booty.
Apryl Michelle Brown had always been insecure about her backside.
Once she got enough money, she told herself, she'd buy herself a
better one. "I didn't know if I wanted to look like Janet Jackson or
J. Lo," the Los Angeles cosmetologist, 46, says in an exclusive
interview featured in the November
issue of ESSENCE magazine.
In 2004, Brown says she paid a "pumper," an unlicensed person, to
inject industrial-grade silicone into her buttocks. Brown can't recall
how much the woman actually charged — maybe $500, maybe $1,000 — but
over time, she says, the area became intensely irritated and painful,
and the skin blackened.
By early 2006 she says the silicone had hardened, causing severe pain
and infection, ultimately requiring her to have lifesaving amputation
of her limbs last year.
Now adjusting to her new life with prosthetics, Brown shares her story
— and her warning for others tempted to check out "pumping parties" —
with writer Amy Elisa Keith in ESSENCE.
"I was left here for a purpose," she says. "I have to get the word
out so that nobody else makes this choPl !! Lesson for the Ladies !!

Austrian Man daredevil jumps from edge of space
Just call him Fearless Felix!
After five years of preparation, Felix Baumgartner successfully leapt
from the edge of space Sunday.
As millions watched on television and the Internet, the Austrian
skydiver jumped from a space capsule tethered to a 55-story helium
balloon after it reached the altitude of 127,000 feet.
It took two hours and 20 minutes to ascend to the height of the jump,
and just five minutes for Baumgartner to descend.
Baumgartner wore a pressurized astronaut-like suit. He was supported
by a NASA-style mission control operation called Red Bull Stratos at
an airfield in Roswell, New Mexico, with 300 engineers, scientists and
physicians.
Were testing new space suits, escape concepts, and treatment protocols
for pressure loss at extreme altitudes, Red Bull Stratos medical
director, Dr. Jonathan Clark, who formerly oversaw the health of space
shuttle crews at NASA, told The New York Times.
There are so many things that could go wrong here that were pushing
the technical envelope.
Fortunately, nothing did go wrong. Congratulations!

Tragedy : Mother of twins commits suicide by jumping into Osun River in Ede
A few days after she was delivered of a set of twins, Mrs Shekinat
Abdurazaq, 27, allegedly committed suicide on Wednesday when she
jumped into the Osun River in Ede.
The incident occurred at about 3.30 p.m. on the Osun River Bridge on
the Oke Gada Road. It was learnt that the woman, who hailed from Ede
in Osun, delivered the twins 11 days ago.
An eyewitness account revealed that shortly before Abdurazaq jumped
into the river, she reportedly prayed and gave alms to beggars around
the bridge head.
One of the eyewitnesses, who identified himself as Selia Mojeed, said
that people did not know that Abdurazaq wanted to commit suicide, else
they would have prevented her from doing so.
Although efforts to speak with her husband failed, it was said that
the woman had no outstanding problems with her spouse, family or
neighbours before the incident.
Efforts by sympathisers and passersby to rescue the woman failed as
she was said to have drowned immediately. Shortly after the incident,
her husband who also attempted to jump into the river was prevented
from doing so by onlookers.
The police later whisked away the deceased's husband and placed him
under safe custody at the Police "A" Division in Ede. Contacted, the
state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Folasade Odoro, confirmed
the incident.

PHOTO : ALLEGED CANNIBAL ATTACK ON SUBWAY IN CHINA OCTOBER 10 2012
A retired teacher in Guangzhou, China allegedly brutally attacked a
younger man in a squabble over a subway seat on Monday repeatedly
biting him until both men were covered in blood.
The incident was caught on tape by a female passenger, who uploaded
the clip to Chinese website Sina Weibo, China Daily reports.
The older man, a 67-year-old who has been identified only as "Chen,"
boarded the subway at around 8:30 a.m., according to Sina.com.
The younger man, a 28-year-old identified as "Wu," reportedly shoved
Chen out of the way as he scrambled to get a seat.
Chen then began chastising Wu for not respecting his elders, a witness
told New Express Daily, according to China Daily's translation. The
woman says the older man then punched Wu, resulting in a physical
fight that ended with the biting scene in the video.
The witness noted that bystanders initially did try to break up the
fight, but it quickly became so violent that they were frightened
away.
Both Chen and Wu suffered only minor injuries, according to Sina.com's
translation of the Southern Metropolis Daily.
Neither man is facing charges, and both reportedly apologize for their
actions. Even so, residents of Guangzhou may want to consider seeing
if they can get in on the zombie apocalypse training offered by the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, just to be safe.

Dr SID ' I was talking to Davido Not Wande Coal ' !! Someone engage in the Conversation
Dr SID says the other person engaged in the conversation was pop star Davido…
Dr SID has spoken.
Apparently confirming the authenticity of the leaked conversation, he
asked this newspaper to 'upload the full conversation' while informing
us that it was Davido, not Wande Coal he had that particular
discussion with.
SID took to Twitter last night, to clarify that it was NOT Wande
Coal's voice but pop singer Davido's that was in the leaked recording.
'@yinkuzblog before I respond to ur post please upload the full convo
and for the record the person u call wande coal is actually
@iam_davido', @IamDrSID wrote on his Twitter page.
It is now being rumoured that the leak was orchestrated by former
Mo'Hits hype man Edward Chukuma-Jiah better known as Special Ed who
may have been present when Dr SID was arguing with Davido. We could
not immediately confirm this.
The motive? Special Ed along with Davido have since parted ways with
the MAVIN crew after issues came up over trying to score a Wande Coal
collaboration on his debut album 'Omo Baba Olowo: The Genesis'.
Special Ed is seen with Davido and the HKN crew – in his videos and
several locations, and he still works the stage with D'banj.
A few minutes after Y! News broke the story, Special Ed tweeted 'U
know say! @ d end of the day I will alwaiz b ah bad man!!!!' Davido
immediately retweeted him.
Will update you more in our subsequent News !!
