Miss Canada for a day: What's jilted 'winner' Denise Garrido to do?
Denise Garrido thought she was the 2013 Miss Canada Universe when she was crowned such earlier this week. A day later, however, Miss Universe pageant officials realized they made a ‘human error,’ and the correct winner was first runner up, Riza Santo. Oops. Garrido dropped to third runner up as the pageant quickly updated their Twitter and Facebook pages with the correct winner, but made little mention of their mistake. Should Garrido have had her title taken away? Could she sue for emotional distress? Should she? “I think she’s handled it really well. She’s been gracious. She’s had a little bit of a sense of humor," former Miss New York Kaitin Monte told In the Zone Fox411. "To sue the pageant might be a bad move. Beauty queens already get a tough rap. You don’t want to be the beauty queen complaining over not have won.” Longtime pageant host Brian McFayden agreed suing would not be a wise option for Garrido. “I don’t think she should sue the pageant because she’s more famous now internationally than she would ever be as Miss Canada Universe. I think she’s fine," McFayden said. "The only person I really feel sorry for is the new Miss Canada Universe because she’s an afterthought. She’s always going to have that asterisk next to her name.” Have pageants in the past made accounting errors like this before? Monte said under different circumstances, Garrido might still be Miss Canada.

This is my first venture into short story writing ......I thought I would share it with you . I walk towards the tavern door and reach for it with a slightly trembling hand. With a rush of adrenilin I give it a good push. The door swings open rather too forcefully and knocks loudly against the wall , I peer in with some trepidation and notice that every head has turned to look at the unexpected interruption. I focus on the bar and pull back my shoulders striding in with as much confidence as I can muster. "Hey Abi" the barman says in recognition. "By yourself tonight? " I smile at him , "No, I"m meeting a friend here" as I say this I glance briefly round the room and instantly see Stephen sitting in the corner . ( oh God , he's actually here , in the flesh! ) "I'll have a vodka and cranberry please Dave" I ask rather too quickly of the barman, he nods and goes to prepare my drink. I try to calm my breathing which has started to quicken at an alarming rate , ( God damn it Calm down Abi) I say to myself. "Thanks" I say in response to the drink that is being handed to me . I take one long breath and catch a glimpse of myself reflected in the bar mirror, straightened blond hair , lightened by the recent sun, tanned face sporting a fresh batch of freckles which cover my nose and my clear blue eyes , bright with anticipation. I adjust the front of my silk blouse which is falling in soft waves over my breasts, which are encased in a new lacy bra. My black skirt skims my hips and my feet are snuggly fit in a pair of patent stilettos. I steal a sip of my drink and turn on my heel to face where Stephen is sitting…. LOVE this, you should continue. I would love to see more of your work.

Justin Bieber to go on space trip, says Richard Branson
It looks like Justin Bieber will be literally mingling with the stars - he's signed up for a trip into space.
The pop prince is the latest A-lister to join the waiting list for the Virgin Galactic mission, which includes Leonardo DiCaprio and Ashton Kutcher.
Richard Branson, who is organising the trip, said it was great that Justin Bieber is coming along, tweeting: "Congrats, see you up there!"
But a trip to space doesn't come cheap: the deposit alone is a cool $250,000.
The spaceship went through its first supersonic, rocket-powered test flight in California in April.
It's expected to start taking people to space in 2014.

Did you know ,,,,
The Hindus of India once believed that the Earth was a huge bowl (to keep the oceans from falling off) held up by giant elephants standing on long pillars. No one back then ever thought to ask what the pillars were standing on!
I probably wouldn't have asked either ...

Runner's Pain is no pulled muscle :its a baby!
An aspiring half-marathon runner in Minnesota attributed her unbearable back pain to a two-hour training session. A day later, she was cradling a newborn. Trish Staine, 33, says she had no idea she was pregnant before Monday's surprise birth. The Duluth mother of three said she hadn't gained any weight or felt fetal movement in the months before. And besides, her husband had a vasectomy. "I said 'no, no, that's impossible,' " Staine said Wednesday from her Duluth hospital room. "I definitely thought I was done having kids," she joked. Staine and her husband, John, have a daughter, 7, and a son, 11. She's also stepmother to John's three boys, ages 17, 19 and 20. Staine said she ran for about two hours Sunday in preparation for the Garry Bjorklund half-marathon on June 22. "I had a sore back Sunday evening. I had taken a hot shower and was dealing with it," Staine said. "Monday morning, I woke up and had more back pain, and as the day went on it got worse. I thought I should go to the ER. I thought I ruptured a disc or pulled a muscle." But she soldiered on, watching her husband play basketball at noon and going to her daughter's short play. When Staine got home, she thought a bath might help her pain. As she talked to her husband on the phone, Staine said her pain was becoming unbearable. Her husband called an ambulance. "I felt like I was dying. I didn't know what was going on," she said. During the emergency room examination, Staine and her husband were stunned to learn medical staff had detected a fetal heartbeat. She was whisked to the delivery room and in what she said seemed like 5 minutes later, her daughter was born at 3:25 p.m. Monday. She weighed 6 pounds, 6 ounces, and was 18.9 inches long. Staine said her husband has a good sense of humor. www.chron.com/news/article/Runner-s-pain-is-no-pulled-muscle-it-s-a-baby-4579829.phpRead more: biglinmarshall.proboards.com/thread/5662/runners-pain-pulled-muscle-baby#ixzz2VWXmn9qH
