Soccer Fever Down Since The World Cup
Soccer reached its highest interest in the United States during the middle of the 2010 World Cup.When the red, white and navy blue jerseys drew a 1-1 tie with England at Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, South Africa on Saturday, June 12th 2010, 17 million viewers tuned in to watch the match on ABC.That total was topped on the final game that the...
Politically Speaking
I don't really do politics. I find most politics/politicians petty and childish and I avoid it/them like the plague. While I make sure I vote, I usually don't even think about who or what I'm voting for until just before the November election. Until then, I just want to be left alone--which definitely doesn't happen.A couple of weeks ago, I was bombarded with the fact that we are having primary elections with a front page story in our newspaper. And the story was revisited the other day. And frankly, I find it quite...
More 'Not Always Right'
Yeah, I think some people are too dumb to be allowed to reproduce. Case in point: (A customer walks in with 5 magazines under her arm.)Customer: “Hi, how much does it cost to laminate one A4 page?”Me: “That’ll be $0.10.”Customer: “Great and um, about how many pages are in a magazine?”Me: “I’d say about 100.”Customer: “Great, so 100 multiplied by five is 500 hundred right?”Me: “Yes, it is.”Customer: “So 500 multiplied by $0.10 would be $50.00 right?”Me: “Yes, ma’am.”Customer: “Yeah so can you like, laminate each page in the magazine?”Me:...

Pittsburgh Penguins Field Goal Practice, Wait What?!?
When the NHL announced that the 2011 Winter Classic would be held in Pittsburgh between the Penguins and the Washington Capitals, this was the best opportunity for a little cross-promotion.So, some of members of the Pittsburgh Penguins including Sidney Crosby and Max Talbot did some field goal practice by shooting pucks off ramps.The below videos show how they did from 40 yards/50 yards/and finally, 70 yards....
Ring My Bell, Chris Bosh!
Usually when I wake up to check the day on Wall Street, there are usually a bunch of executives standing around the podium to ring the bell.Today was a little different as Miami Thrice member, Chris Bosh, and some executives from the After Schools All-Star program were given the opportunity to ring the bell.(Courtesy of That NBA Lottery Pi...
Nyt ei keksi otsikkoa
Mojautin oikein huolella kummivasaralla sormeen pihikiviä laittaessa ja nyt alkaa taas koruilukin luonnistua. Aika on mennyt toteen kyllä surffaillessa ja kiviä kuolatessa, joten ehkäpä tilaan pitkästä aikaa kunnon satsin kiviä...Hauska stressilelu aventuriinista eli riveting tekniikalla kiinnitetty kivi sormuksen runkoon ja kiveä voi pyöritellä.

Madden 2011 Super Bowl Celebration - Virtual Obama Welcomes You to the White House
Back in the day, I remember playing sports video games on SNES/Atari/Playstation and being content with a simple picture of a trophy to solidify my virtual championship.Madden 2011 has decided to blow that out of the water by stepping up their Super Bowl celebration in franchise mode by dropping in a victory parade, Gus Johnson commentating your gridiron brilliance, and Virtual Barack Obama welcoming you to the White House.Sadly, the Shalahi's weren't included as we...

Matt Garza Gets No-Hittery On Us
So far 2010 has been dubbed, "The Year of the Pitcher" in Major League Baseball and last night proved that title is still going strong.Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Matt Garza threw a no-hitter against the Detroit Tigers making it the 5th no-hitter in the Major Leagues this season and the first in Tampa Bay history.In case you missed it, here the highlights...
Curious Antiquities are showing up
I will be the first to tell you I can't exactly call the astrology on this one. Because of the theme of the findings I'm leaning towards Neptune in Aquarius. Although, we have been experiencing that transit for years. But perhaps it is the combination of Pluto in Capricorn while Neptune is in Aquarius---??? I'm not sure but the things that have...
Mayan Tomb Found
U.S. and Guatemalan archaeologists have found an unusually well-preserved burial chamber that they believe is the tomb of the founder of a Maya dynasty, a find that promises new information about the empire's formative period.Archaeologist Stephen Houston of Brown University said the tomb was so tightly sealed that the team found remains of textiles,...
Jupiter & Uranus in Aries & the fat full moon
So, there we were this weekend with a huge full moon in Aquarius (sunday) and right in the middle of all this cardinal cross energy and bam!----the internet which rules the WWW made news again. Specifically, Wikileaks. The torrent of more than 91,000 secret documents, one of the largest unauthorized disclosures in military history, sent the Obama...
Ray Merriman update
I went over to Ray Merriman's website----Here's a snippet go over to his site for the rest of his weekly update.So this is how it is going to be. Wild. If you are a trader in the trenches every day, you know its wild. It is every bit as wild as Financial Astrologers feared and hoped. We feared it would be wild because if it lived up to its potential, there would be sudden and large price moves in many markets, causing this to be a very difficult market environment. It is the nature of Saturn opposition Uranus (July 26). It is the nature of Jupiter...
Veljeni 15-vuotissynttärikakku ja samalla kesän ensimmäinen MANSIKKAkakku!
Mansikka-kermakakku, mikäs sen parempaa!Tämä kakku oli pikkuveljeni 15-vuotissynttäreiden kahvipöydässä :)Pohja on kuuden kananmunan, ja täytettä laitettiin vain kahteen kerrokseen tavoista poiketen. Yleensä myö ollaan tehty meidän juhliin 8 munan kakkupohja ja laitettu täytettä kolmeen kerrokseen. Yritettiin meinaan saada tästä vähän pienempi, kun...
Where's My Weather?
When my girls were young and were going to school, I would wake every morning and turn on the radio to a local station. This was necessary, especially in the winter, in order to know how the girls were going to dress--and, whether it was too cold (in my opinion) to send them out in the -30* wind chills. Also, the radio was where we would get school cancellation announcements, so we always had one in the kitchen. I still hadn't gotten a TV for the kitchen, but it wouldn't have mattered if I had one: the local TV station did...
Saturn Oppose Uranus the final round
Today, Monday July 26 at 1:07pm (EDT) We had the final opposition between Saturn and Uranus. As we have discussed (mucho) this is the fifth pass and the only one in the signs of Aries and Libra, (previous were in Pisces and Virgo). To say we feel like we are in between a rock and hard place is understatement. And in my mind, this one feels different---...
Ihanan mehevä ja oikeasti-banaaninen kuivakakku. NAM : )
Veljeni synttäreille kahvikakuksi valittiin tällä kertaa äitini reseptiarkistoista banaanikakku. Kylmäkaapissa oli sopivasti pehmenneitä banaaneja, jotka ovat tähän kakkuun ihan ehdottomia. Tätä EI ruveta tekemään mistään (puoli)raaoista banaaneista!Muistan niin hyvin sen ihanan tuoksun, kun ollessani pieni äiti tätä leipoi monesti. : ) Tämä on aina...

Homesteading in America (again)
I was poking around on the New York Times and found this article about Beatrice Nebraska. In an attempt to fill depleted city cofers, city officials are resurrecting the homesteading act of 1862, or more specifically activating their own new homesteading act of 2010. It hardly sounds like a prudent scheme. But in a bit of déjà vu, that is exactly...
THE GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH
I am completely over human beings. I want to report something good but the bad news just keeps on coming. The latest is the (old) news that there is an enormous patch of rubbish floating in the Pacific. The news report said that it might be as big as South Australia and New South Wales put together. I am utterly disgusted.The Great Pacific Garbage...
LONELINESS & LOVE: OSHO 7
I have never been very good at love. When I joined the Rajneesh movement all I heard about was love. It used to make me want to throw up.Thirty years later I still don’t really know what it is, I am now no wiser, well maybe a little. At least I think I know what it isn’t. No matter whether I have been ‘in love’ or not, I have always felt lonely - I...

Or better yet, what about...
Fantasy Drafthelp: Football Wild Cards
NOTE: “Wild Card” players are the ones with the widest variance of opinion on our FDH “experts’” draft board. As such, they are the hardest ones to predict where they will go in your drafts, because their draft slot can only be guessed by knowing which fantasy magazine or website is being used to assess them.QB: Jason Campbell, Matt Leinart, Kyle...

Induction of George Steinbrenner into Hall of Fame would be act of hypocrisy
Following the sudden and tragic death of New York Yankees principal owner and managing partner George Steinbrenner, reaction poured in from all walks of life about the impact he had on the most valuable brand in baseball and the game itself.And as baseball legends congregate in Cooperstown, New York for Sunday’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony, fond...
