Following Faith: Adopted, Chinese and Jewish
In the new documentary Wo Ai Ni Mommy, filmmaker Stephanie Wang-Breal follows one Long Island Jewish family as it adopts Faith, an 8 year old girl from China. Transracial adoptions are complicated enough but when the child is older it can be even trickier. But for a filmmaker it means she can also do something that’s rare in these stories – really include the girl’s point of view as she leaves behind everything she knows to start her new life.
Wo Ai Ni Mommy airs on PBS' POV on Tuesday, August 31, 2010.

Did this family adopt this child because they had the desire for another child or because they thought they would be making her life better? I was taken away from my paternal grandmother at the age of 6. It is so challenging to be taken away from everything you know as a kid, I never forgot or forgave. I am not suggesting that this is this little girls reality but still...it is hard to be taken away from everything you know, and I for one never forgot where I came from.

I just saw this documentary two days ago on PBS. I thought it was great. The addoption mother's explanation was also great. The girl needed a family, and the family WANTED a child. What is wrong with that. That child will have a much better future.
I hope she does keep learning her Chinese (LOL).

Hi. First of all - great blog! Secondly this information was also good and interesting to read, but I don't think everything you have said is how it is in reality. I will need to google about few things you have mentioned in your artcile to make sure. But anyway thanks for trying and good luck on writing other articles. P.S sorry for bad English, I aren't English native speaker.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.
