[She's going to need a bigger freezer! Chinese soldier makes his wife all her meals for the next YEAR before he returns to his regiment

Yin Yunfeng spent a week before returning to Tibet cooking food
The soldier filled the fridge with stir-fried dishes and 1,000 dumplings
A variety of snacks have also been hidden in the house as daily surprises
Yin is stationed far from home and only gets to see his wife once a year
The wife, named only as Ms Zhao, has been branded 'luckiest wife' in China

A senior high school teacher from Anshun city has been dubbed the 'luckiest wife in China' after her soldier husband cooked her enough food to last for a year before he returned to service.

The woman, named only as Ms Zhao, lives in a house bursting with frozen dishes and snacks.

Husband Yin Yunfeng spent the last week of his annual holiday making all sorts of stir-fried dishes as well as about 1,000 dumplings as a way to show his love to his wife, according to thePeople's Daily Online.

The devoted husband is worried that his wife would be eating instant noodles all the time so he cooked different types of dishes and put them into small foam containers to be frozen.

Ms Shao said she is extremely busy with work and only has fresh meals when her husband is home. But now all she needs to do is to reheat the food in the microwave.

Mr Yin is stationed in a regiment in Tibet and only gets to go home - which is some 2,700 kilometres away in southern China - once a year.

'Although I mentally prepared myself for this life when I married him, I had no idea it would be so tough,' sais Ms Zhao. 'At the end of every holiday I would be devastated and would cry all day but I will continue to support him in his career and look after this family.'

She added: 'The food he prepared is enough for me for one year and every time I think of this my heart is warm.'

In addition to meals, Mr Yin has also bought a large amount of snacks and hid them in different corners of the house as daily surprises to his wife.

Every day, he texts her the clues to find these snacks.

'Today you have been studying very hard and I have a reward for you. Behind the sofa on the right there is a gap and I have left you a packet of raisins,' reads one of the messages.

The snacks include chips, pumpkin seeds, chewing gum, biscuits, beef jerky and instant noodles.

Yin said he hoped he would be home by the time his wife finishes the food and snacks.]

Ah...TX bless your heart LOL

Pentagon: No Texas takeover plot

By Barbara Starr, CNN Pentagon Correspondent

Washington (CNN)Don't mess with Texas -- even if it's just an exercise.

Amid unfounded, Internet-fueled rumors that U.S. Special Operations Forces might be trying to take over parts of the southwest, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered Texas State Guard forces under his control to keep an eye on the U.S. military during a large upcoming training exercise.

The exercise is called Jade Helm 15.

"It is important that Texans know their safety, constitutional rights, private property rights and civil liberties will not be infringed," Abbott said in an April 28 letter to Major Gen. Gerald "Jake" Betty, commander of the guard.

Abbott ordered the guard to "monitor" the eight week-long exercise which begins in July and ends in September, across seven states. In Texas, Utah and New Mexico most of the training will take place on private land. In Arizona, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, much of it will take place on military installations.

Some of the concerns are fueled by Internet posting of a map said to be made up for the exercise which shows Texas in bright red and lists it as "hostile" territory. The scenario for the exercise is that U.S. special operations forces travel to another continent which includes hostile nations and work with rebel underground freedom fighters there.

The question for many is do Americans need to have their civil liberties protected from involvement by the U.S. military. U.S. military officials tell CNN they welcome the state guard working with them to coordinate the exercise operations in Texas, but that one sentence in the governor's letter is without foundation.

On Monday, Abbott told reporters the guard simply will gather information, monitor the exercise and report to him about what is going on. Abbott said he has been "provided assurances," by the Defense Department that "there is nothing for the public to worry about."

Sen. Ted Cruz said he also has asked the Pentagon what's going on, and has been told everything is fine. But the Republican presidential candidate also indicated he understands why people may be concerned: persistent mistrust of the federal government.

Many on the Internet are convinced something is about to happen. Several websites are expressing the worries of some residents of Bastrop County, Texas, that the exercise is going to lead to a military takeover, something Pentagon officials adamantly deny.

"Jade Helm is a long planned and coordinated exercise," Pentagon spokesman, Col. Steve Warren said. "We are not taking over anything."

But that's not stopping websites like the Oath Keepers' which says, "The Internet is abuzz with speculation these exercises are not designed to prepare U.S. troops for overseas operations, but are actually designed to prepare U.S. troops for aggressive operations against American citizenry."

Others says the military is testing the loyalty of local communities. During the exercise some of the troops will be in civilian clothes, move in civilians vehicles and carry weapons with blank ammunition. But there will be exercise monitors at all times.

Special Operations Forces officials told CNN troops often train in local areas in the U.S. with the permission of public and private landowners because it provide a realistic environment for overseas operations. And the training scenarios are made as realistic as possible with "friendly" and "enemy" territory. But in a statement explaining Jade Helm, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command said, "The size and scope of Jade Helm sets this one apart."

There will be about 1,200 troops in Jade Helm, mainly Army Green Berets, but also a small group of Navy SEALS and Air Force special operations troops as well as conventional Army infantry.

Regardless where you live, what do you think about this parking ticket, and compare it to your place? It's the most expensive one in Phnom Penh and they are not responsible for the loss or damage of your vehicle.
