Posted: 01 Jul 2011 11:17 AM PDT

A year a go he was just shy of 700lbs, had a hernia and was staring death in the face. But with the help of TV trainer Chris Powell, James, from Fort Worth, Texas, lost an astonishing 313lbs in a single year.

The loss was a record for Powell, who stars in ABC's Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition, and it has no doubt changed 26-year-old James' life.

Phuket Nightlife

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 10:00 PM PDT

Here's an interesting series of photos taken on the streets of the beach resort Patong at night on the popular tourist and backpacker destination of Phuket Island, Thailand.

They show the lively nightlife area around Bangla Road, the hawkers and hookers, the taxi drivers, touts and tourists. All thrown together these pictures make for some interesting viewing.

The striking point about Thai pimple-coverer is that 70% of its prostitutes have recently been known as men. And it's not always that easy to recognize between real girls and former guys.

The picture of a night life won't be completed without sellers ready to sell any product at a relatively low price and drivers of open cabs. There are millions of cab drivers. Their number actually exceeds the number of tourists. A journey to such a cab will cost you around 10 dollars.

China Opens World's Longest Sea Bridge

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 09:33 PM PDT

China has unveiled the world's longest sea bridge, which stretches a massive 26.4 miles – five miles further than the distance between Dover and Calais and longer than a marathon.

The Qingdao Haiwan Bridge, completed earlier this week, links the main urban area of Qingdao city, East China's Shandong province, with Huangdao district, straddling the Jiaozhou Bay sea areas.

The road bridge, which took four years and cost a cool £5.5billion to build, will be open for use in the New Year and is almost three miles longer than the previous record-holder, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in Louisiana.
