Woman loves her 38KKK record setting boobs ‘like her kids’


A woman who has claimed that her record setting 38KKK breasts saved her life, by acting as air bags during a car accident, has revealed the struggles she faces with her chest and the operations she underwent to get it.


Sheyla Hershey had eventually started out as a B-cup, but 13 years and 22 operations; worth 250,000 dollars and five litres of saline later she has become a whopping KKK.

Despite not being able to find clothes that fit, tie her shoelaces or jog, she says she still loves her breasts “like they are my kids”.

“They are the most good thing in my life,” Herald Sun quoted her as telling on a TV program ‘My Strange Addiction’.

Hershey said that she went under the knife in Brazil because Texas law limits the amount of silicone that can be injected into breast implants.

Hershey has 2.51 litres of silicone in each breast.

Shane Warne burns his bowling hand in cooking incident



The 42-year-old Australian cricketing great has suffered what appear to be nasty burns to his right bowling hand just days out from his first appearance for the Melbourne Stars in the Twenty20 Big Bash against the Sydney Thunder at the MCG on Saturday.

A picture posted by Warne on Twitter this morning shows his hand badly burnt with blisters on every finger.

"Not ideal preparation for practice match today-burning the bowling hand Get better quickly please,any suggestions-HELP," the 42-year-old wrote on Twitter this morning.

Warne later tweeted: "Ps no more trying to be a master chef ! Stop and by a bacon roll on the way to the ground next time - silly Shane !"

"Thankyou for all the great suggestions re remedy's for my burnt hand & fingers. It's improving & I'm feeling positive Appreciate the support"

Melbourne Stars spokeswoman Jessica Cook said the franchise was not worried by the injury and believed Warne will be available for their Big Bash opener.

Cook said Warne arrived at the MCG for his team's scratch match against cross-town rivals the Melbourne Renegades, which started at 10am.

But the star spinner was a late withdrawal from the game.

"We don't think it's too serious or anything like that," Cook said.

"We're not overly concerned.

"He's been in meetings all morning so we haven't had a chance to talk with him about it yet."

Cook said Warne is treating the inured hand with ice and Pawpaw ointment.

According to reports, Warne managed to injure his hand during a cooking mishap earlier this morning.

Stars chief executive officer Clint Cooper said: "Its a little bit burnt, hell be fine."

The 42-year-old Australian cricketing great said he was fitter than ever heading into the re-launched Twenty20 Big Bash, but his effectiveness as a bowler and batsman has now been thrown into turmoil.

In a scratch match disaster for the Renegades, star batsman Brad Hodge limped off with what looked like a serious hamstring injury sustained as he set off for a run after playing a pull shot during a blazing innings of 37 in just 24 balls, with five fours and a six.

Renegades coach Simon Helmot described Hodge's injury as "a twinge" and said doctors were assessing it.

"We are not overly concerned," he said.

Sikh student attacked in Australia, Turban removed



In yet another attack on Indians here, a Sikh was punched in his head by a group of Australians who also removed his turban while he was sleeping at a bus stop in Melbourne.

Police said they are investigating the "unprovoked" bashing of the 22-year-old Indian youth who was punched in the head and had his turban removed as he slept at a bus stop yesterday.

However, the name and other details of the Indian man has not yet been known.

"The Yarraville man was asleep at a stop near Epping railway station in Cooper Street about 12.45 am on Sunday when a bus pulled into the depot and five males, believed to be believed 17 and 19 approached him," The Age reported.

Two of the five youths allegedly bashed the Indian man, while their three companions are believed to have tried to stop the assault, the report said, adding that the 60-year-bus driver and a passenger also tried to stop the attack. The five youths managed to escape from the scene.

"The victim suffered injuries to his mouth but did not need medical attention," The Age reported. Police have appealed for any witness in connection with the incident.

This is the latest among a series of racially- motivated attacks on Indians and students from the community.

Around 30 Indian students were attacked in various cities from June to August.

Last month, an Indian student was attacked with a "plank of wood or a baseball bat" by two men which left him with 20 stitches in his head.

The 28-year-old student was attacked by the men after he got down from a bus at Keilor Plains train station.

In September, three Indians were "brutally bashed" by a group of around 70 youth while playing here.

Primary school in Australia bans hugging


A primary school in Australia has put a ban on hugging and other display of affection on its senior grade pupils saying it can set "bad example" to younger students and adversely affect them.

Students of the Largs Bay Primary School, aged between six and seven, have been adviced not to hug their friends stating it would set a "bad example" to younger students, Herald Sun reported today.

Upset over the move, many parents said the school should act only if the display of affection was inappropriate, rather than a blanket ban for all of the children.

They said the school's deputy principal and counsellor had told the students of the ban after an outbreak of hugging when friends were reunited after the holidays.

"I don't want my child to go to a school in which displays of affection lead to punishment," a mother said. After complaints from parents, the school has issued a statement defending their policy of banning hugging and other display of affection for "boyfriends or girlfriends" in the senior grade.

"Hugging is not banned (between friends) at Largs Bay Primary School, but we do discourage displays of affection in the schoolyard among students in years 6 and 7 who have a boyfriend or girlfriend at the school," Principal Julie Gail said, adding we want our older students to set a strong example for younger students at the school.

Tendulkar is amazing: Ponting


Only the third batsman to amass 12,000 runs in one-day cricket, Australian skipper Ricky Ponting says he is chasing the benchmarks set by veteran Indian Sachin Tendulkar.

Ponting, after scoring a match-winning unbeaten 111against England on Saturday to take Australia to its second successive Champions Trophy final, paid tribute to Tendulkar, who is completing 20 years in international cricket this November.

“The number of innings of his I have been able to sit back and watch, I think he is an amazing player. Look at his stats and records and it’s quite incredible for someone to have stayed in the game for 20 years,” Ponting said.
Benchmarks to chase

“He has set benchmarks for guys like me to chase and get as close as we can. If I had to last 20 years, I would probably be batting in a wheelchair,” he quipped.

Ponting is the first Australian and the third overall, after Tendulkar and Sri Lanka’s Sanath Jayasuriya, to score 12,000 runs in one-dayers. Tendulkar and Ponting, in fact, are the two biggest achievers in batting in contemporary cricket.

Tendulkar has played 159 Tests and scored 12,773 runs with 42 centuries and 53 half-centuries at an average of 54.58 runs. In one-dayers, he has turned out in 430 matches and scored 16,903 runs with 44 hundreds and 91 fifties, averaging 44.48.

Ponting, on the other hand has played 136 Tests and scored 11,345 runs with 38 centuries and 48 half-centuries, averaging 55.88. In one-dayers, he has turned out in 323 matches, scored 12,043 runs and hit 28 centuries and 70 fifties, averaging 43.32.

Both Tendulkar and Ponting no longer play Twenty20 internationals for their countries.

“It is a nice achievement but I had no idea before the game how many runs I had scored. I hit runs for my country and when my career is over I can reflect on the successes,” Ponting said.

After Saturday’s win, Ponting lauded the younger members of his team for contributing to the side’s unbeaten run in the ongoing event.
Peaking at right time

“We have made it to the final with relatively young guys. Michael Clarke is missing and so is Nathan Bracken. We are peaking at the right time for the final,” said Ponting, who shared a 252-run stand with Shane Watson (136).

For the last five years, Australia has won everything the ICC has put on stake except for the Twenty20 World Cup.

Ponting said he takes pride in the side’s performance. “The key I think is the mix we bring of youth and experience. When senior guys take responsibility, it allows younger guys to learn and find their feet at the international level,” he said.

“We are playing at a level which would win us the big games. We look to play the best cricket when it matters,” Ponting added.
Admiration

Ponting’s own form has won him all-around admiration and the right-hander credited it to the brief break he took after the Ashes debacle this summer. “I took 10-12 days break after the England tour and since I have returned, I feel I am batting really well. I am able to achieve a lot of control in the middle.”

Ponting rated the wicket used in Friday’s game as the best by far in this tournament.

Man-of-the-Match Watson, meanwhile, praised his skipper for the role he played in the middle.

“Ricky helped me a lot. In the middle period, when I was finding my feet against slower bowlers, his presence was very useful,” he said.

“Previously, I used to get overawed in big games. I am happy now that I was able to put together a big effort today, especially with the bat,” he added.

Swine flu Scare for Australian cricketers


suffered some tense moments after it was discovered that one of the Australian reporters, staying in the same London hotel, might have been suffering from swine flu.

News Limited reporter Ben Dorries fell ill during the second Ashes Test in Lord's and a doctor suggested that he might be suffering from swine flu.

Accordingly, the journalist has been asked to stay away from the players and stay put in London, while the cricketers reached here for their tour match against Northamptonshire.

"Australian team medical staff have asked that Ben quarantine himself away from the Australian team and other cricketing media for the next three days," Cricket Australia said in a statement.

"These measures are being taken as a precautionary step.

There is no indication that anybody associated with the Australian team has the same symptoms," it assured.
