Justin Timberlake saya He's not Engaged! Powerful Words

Justin Timberlake arrived on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Friday morning to show off his clothing line, William Rast – but first, the star had to answer some questions about his relationship with actress Jessica Biel.

“I’m not engaged,” he told Oprah. “If she’s engaged, we have a problem.”

The quick-witted singer also joked that his “Saturday Night Live” appearance as a backup dancer for Beyonce in November 2008 was the most romantic thing he’d done for his girlfriend lately.

“I’d say pantyhose and a leotard is up there,” he said.

Justin, who told “Oprah” he has an open invitation to “SNL,” followed up his “Single Ladies” dance recently, appearing on the sketch comedy show with Jessica. The two took on the role of cartoon characters on “Weekend Update.”

Shane Mcconkey died attempting Ski Jump, here;s the Video. DAMN!

According to ESPN, Ski legend Shane McConkey died today after a ski BASE jump went wrong. Shane was filming his latest movie with Matchstick Productions and Red Bull in Italy when he experienced problems launching off a cliff with the anticipation that his parachute canopy would deploy, allowing him to glide down to the ground.

This was somewhat of a routine for Shane, as he had done this successfully 700-plus times before. Filmmaker and close friend, Scott Gaffney, told ESPN Action Sports.

Ichiro Suzuki helps Win the game!

Seattle Mariners star Ichiro Suzuki hit a two-out, two-run single in the top of the 10th, and Japan beat reigning Olympic champion South Korea 5-3 Monday night to win its second straight WBC title before a boisterous crowd of 54,846 at Dodger Stadium.

The Japanese won the inaugural tournament three years ago, beating Cuba 10-6 in the finals at Petco Park in San Diego.

South Korea had tied the game at 3 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth on Lee Bum-ho's run-scoring single off Japanese closer Yu Darvish (2-1), who got in trouble by issuing one-out walks to Kim Hyun-soo and Kim Tae-kyun, the 3-4 hitters in the lineup.

Darvish struck out Choo Shin-soo before Lee lined a 1-1 pitch into left field, with pinch runner Lee Jong-wook scoring easily from second.

Seiichi Uchikawa opened the 10th with a single, was sacrificed to second and took third on a single by Akinori Iwamura. After pinch-hitter Munenori Kawasaki popped out, Iwamura took second on defensive interference.

Michelle Cook is now Mrs.Letterman!

Usmagazine.com revealed the nuptials shortly before Letterman made the announcement on his own show. The news was a great surprise to his audience - and no doubt, the comedian's friends - as Letterman has made no secret of his reluctance to marry after his divorce in 1977. He was previously married to his college sweetheart Michelle Cook.

What Really Happened in Oakland Last Night! Two Shot in the Face....

The three veteran officers killed were sergeants: Mark Dunakin, 40, of Tracy, a traffic officer with the department since 1991; Erv Romans, 43, of Danville, a 13-year veteran with the force; and Dan Sakai, 35, a nine-year veteran, police said.

Romans and Sakai were SWAT team members. It was the first time any sergeant in the department had been slain. Officer John Hege, 41, of Concord, was on life support at Highland Hospital. A bullet grazed a fifth, unidentified officer. He was treated and released from the hospital.

The suspect was identified as Oakland resident Lovelle Mixon, 26. He was on parole for assault with a deadly weapon, police said. He had a no-bail warrant for his arrest on charges of violating parole. He had previous convictions in Alameda County for grand theft and possession of marijuana.

"I wouldn't wish this on any of my colleagues in the United States," said acting police Chief Howard Jordan during a news conference Saturday night. "This is very daunting for us, but we are very resilient. We are a big family and we rely on each other for support."

The first shooting happened 7400 Boulevard about 1:16 p.m. when Dunakin and Hege were shot with a handgun during a traffic stop. What led to the shooting was not known.

A man, who did not want be identified, said he heard gunshots and saw the officers lying on the road. "I went over to one officer and saw he was bleeding from his helmet pretty bad," he said. "The other officer was lying motionless."

He said the officer lying near a car was shot twice in the face. One bullet was lodged in his jaw and the other in his neck. The man said he performed CPR until other officers arrived.

Helicopters hovered for hours over the crime scene. Dozens of Oakland police, Highway Patrol officers and Alameda County sheriff's deputies cordoned off stretches of blocks around 73rd and 74th avenues and MacArthur Boulevard.

Then they heard that the suspect was in an apartment around the corner on 74th Avenue.Police surrounded the building and, after the Oakland SWAT team tried to communicate with the suspect, they entered the building.

Mixon opened fire with an assault weapon, police said.Sakai and Romans were fatally wounded and another officer was grazed in the head. Other officers killed Mixon. No other occupants in the complex were injured.

5 Police Officers were shot and 3 were killed 03/22/09 in Oakland California! Damn can we get some help OUT HERE!

Dip set Rapper King Tut Kills Himself After Stabbing and Beating Woman! WTF YOU DESERVED IT!

New York rap group The Diplomats shot and killed himself during a dramatic stand-off with police in upstate New York yesterday (March 17). King Tut was a member of the 730 Dipset.

Hackensack, New Jersey police had been searching for 23-year-old Darnell “King Tut” Brittingham, for allegedly stabbing and assaulting a female companion, just 48 hours after he was released from jail on drug charges.



When a S.W.A.T. Team witnessed Brittingham emerge from the hotel with a female friend and enter a cab, police surrounded the vehicle and ordered the occupants out.



As police approached the car, they saw Brittingham duck behind the driver’s seat and shoot himself. Brittingham was first arrested on February 11, when he was stopped during a routine traffic stop. He was arrested after police found 14 grams of cocaine stuffed inside of a teddy bear.

Shortly after he made bail on the drug charges, police accused Brittingham of stabbing a female companion seven times before fleeing. “I guess he just decided he wasn't going to go to jail," Police Chief John Kapica told the Courier Post. "We had him, so he couldn't get away, which is probably why he did what he did."

Brooke Hogan Striping Infornt of Crowd and Her Father? WTF!

Fledgling singer Brooke Hogan performed at the Ocho Calle Latin festival in Miami this weekend, but her vocals weren't the highlight of the show. Hogan performed a spicy pole dance in a sparkly, midriff-baring top and matching bottoms while hundreds of onlookers watched - including her dad, former wrestler Hulk Hogan. Can you say not okay!

What were you thinking infront of your father now I know why i act's the way he does!

I didn't like poker face at first but now that shit jam!

Rihanna Finally Dumps Chris Brown! Thank God! Someone shook her!

Some might think that Rihanna is going to leave Chris Brown because she is finally seeing the light, but the truth of the matter is that if Rihanna wants to have a music career, she's going to have to dump Chris Brown for good.

For some reason, people will not feel sorry for her if she stays with Chris Brown; instead they will hate on her and lose respect for her and refuse to understand that it's something she has to work through on her own time and in her own way.

No. If Rihanna wants to continue her success professionsally, she has to dump Chris Brown and move on with her life. And I'm pretty sure that Rihanna values money and success more than she does a boyfriend who smacks her around.So Rihanna has bid Chris Brown adieu and can now raise her head high when she's out in public.

The actress' husband, Liam Neeson, is by Natasha's bedside at a New York hospital, along with her mother, children and possibly other family members.


Is Sun Systems getting ready to sell to IBM? or GO OUT OF BUSINESS!

Sun Microsystems is reported to be in negotiations for a possible $6.5 billion sale to IBM, a deal that would shake up the global tech industry and spell the end of a venerable but now-struggling Silicon Valley pioneer.

The talks were reported this morning by the Wall Street Journal, which cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter. A Sun spokeswoman declined comment on the report; an IBM spokeswoman said she could not immediately comment.

Sun's stock, which closed at $4.97 on Tuesday, was soaring above $7.50 this morning.

Speculation about a possible sale of Sun has swirled since last summer, as the company was struggling with slipping sales even before the recession hit other tech companies last fall. Sun, which is known for its Java programming language and has lately made a push into database programs and other open-source software, was seeing sales drop off in its core business of selling high-end computer servers and storage business.

Obama And Lincon but with out the Teleprompter

There is no question that President Obama is an accomplished orator. As a candidate for president he inspired millions, thrilled young ladies and even sent chills up the legs of seasoned pundits. He was compared to past great orators like Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. But are his oratory skills over estemated?

Obama's oratory skills have often been compared with Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was noted for the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates. These debates would last for hours and Lincoln didn't have the benefit of speechwriters. Debaters back then depended upon their knowledge of the subject.

More than a hundred years after the Lincoln-Douglas debates technology provided the speechgiver a valuable aid. The modern teleprompter came into use in the 1980's. The teleprompter is the mostly transparent glass panel that you see on the left and right of lectern. The text of the speech is projected on the panels so the speechgiver can read the text while it appears that they are looking at the audience.

High school track coach charged with sexually abusing one of her male athletes has demanded the return of more than 200 photos seized as evidence!

The defense attorney for a high school track coach charged with sexually abusing one of her male athletes has demanded the return of more than 200 photos seized as evidence.

The attorney, David Terry, said the photos of his client wearing lingerie are not relevant to the case. He subpoenaed Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier and Coquille Police Chief Mark Dannels to appear in court Tuesday to return them. "The photos contain no sexual activity or other people in the photographs," Terry said.

The Register-Guard newspaper reported that the matter went unresolved Tuesday because Terry's subpoenas were for the chief and district attorney to appear in Coquille, where he thought Wendy Boutiette, 36, was to be arraigned on three counts of felony sex abuse.

The hearing was in North Bend, where Boutiette pleaded not guilty. "The subpoena directed me to appear in Coquille," Frasier said. "I don't know what Mr. Terry is doing."

Frasier has also recused himself from the case because of a conflict of interest. His wife was the head coach of the Coquille High School track team in 2006. Boutiette, an assistant that season, has also coached some of Frasier's children.

Frasier said his copies of the photos have been turned over to Shannon Sullivan, deputy district attorney in neighboring Douglas County. Sullivan told The Register-Guard she has yet to review the pictures.

Obama Thinks North Carolina Will Win it all! Not likely but NICE ONE!

Obama filled out this bracket Tuesday for ESPN, coming through on a promise he made to Andy Katz last October when the college hoops analyst interviewed the then-candidate about his brother-in-law, Craig Robinson, who coaches Oregon State. Afterward, Obama invited Katz to play in his traditional pickup basketball game on Election Day. Katz accepted the offer and made a deal that, if elected, Obama would share his NCAA picks with ESPN.

"It was an educated bracket," Katz told The Associated Press. "He knew what he was doing. It wasn't some random kind of pick. There were no political favors or anything like that."

Katz and the president differ on two of the Final Four picks. Katz has picked Wake Forest and Connecticut in his Final Four, rather than Louisville and Memphis. Both agreed that the Panthers and Heels would make it to Detroit.

LeAnn Rimes Cheating With Eddie Cibrian! Her Husband Dean Sheremet, updating his Twitter with the message "I LOVE MY WIFE!!

"This is a difficult time for me and my loved ones, but I appreciate all your continued support," the 26-year-old country singer wrote on her personal website Wednesday. "I would like to assure all of you that this is a place for you to hear things directly from me and as you all know, not everything in our lives is always black and white."

Rimes is allegedly having an affair with equally married actor Eddie Cibrian, her costar in the upcoming Lifetime TV movie Northern Lights. Reportedly By E news, there are security cam pictures that, that show Rimes and Cebrian holding hands and kissing on a dinner date.

Meanwhile, during an appearance by Rimes today on Live with Regis & Kelly, the tabloidy topic came up. Well sorta.

In typical Reege and Ripa fashion, the cohosts made polite, nonthreatening queries such as "So everything's going well?" and "There are some rumors here and there..."

To which the singer casually shrugged off by simply saying, "Everything's great," "There's rumors all the time" and "I am used to dealing with it. I let it roll off my back most of the time."

Her Husband Dean Sheremet, is taking things lightly—updating his Twitter account Wednesday with the message "I love my wife!!!"

Martin Lawrence DEAD! WTF

There have been reports of Martin Lawrence Passing away in his sleep, Im actually looking for any real evidence of this happening at the time. What apparently touched off the stories are reports of people receiving cryptic text messages broadcasting reports that Lawrence had died in his sleep.

If you'll remember, similar text messages were tagged as the source of death rumors regarding Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and actor Bernie Mac. Sadly, the rumors surrounding Mac's death turned out to be slightly prescient; he was gravely ill in a hospital at the time and passed away a few days later. Let's hope that isn't the case with these stories of Lawrence's passing.



Natasha Richarson is Dead at hospital After Accident! The Sad Video..

The New York Post reports that the actress' unnamed friends say she is brain dead and is on her way to New York for friends and family to say goodbye.A spokesperson at Sacre Coeur Hospital in Montreal, where Richardson, 45, was taken Monday night, would only say Richardson is no longer in Canada.

Richardson was feeling fine for nearly an hour Monday after falling on a beginner's run during a private ski lesson. Richardson was not wearing a ski helmet during ski lesson on the Nansen, a beginners’ run. Richardson was at the bottom of the run, in what is known as the flats, during the midafternoon lesson when she fell and tumbled down the hill.

Media reports said her sons, Micheal, 13, and Daniel, 12, were with her at the time of the accident. She did not hit anyone or anything before coming to a stop and the ski instructor was by her side within seconds, the spokesperson for Sacre Coeur said. There was no sign of injury, no cut or bleeding.

Two ski patrollers helped Richardson but she was able to walk to her room at the resort’s Quintessence Hotel, where she'd been staying since Sunday.We pray that this report of her being brain dead is not true and that Natasha, a terrific actress, wonderful mother and loving wife, will be OK.

OBAMA Promises To Block AIG Bonuses! Video

Six Flags In Texas Closing! Wow!

Rollercoaster fans would want to ge their fill of the Texas Giant this year because the wooden behemoth at Six Flags Over Texas will be closed during the 2010 season.

Park officials announced today that the rollercoaster will get a $10 million renovation to make it faster and smoother. It will reopen in 2011 for the park’s 50th anniversary season.

Sharon Parker, a Six Flags spokeswoman, said the coaster should be open through Fright Fest, the park’s Halloween season. She said the Texas Giant is usually closed for Holiday in the Park, which runs from late November through early January.

The property owner, Irvine, Calif.-based Bethany Holdings Group, had abandoned the complex and a dozen other large rental properties United States!

Nicholle Krause first noticed the weeds sprouting in the usually well-manicured grounds of her 320-unit apartment complex in Chandler, Ariz., in December. Soon, signs of neglect began multiplying: Garbage spilled over from the dumpsters, the water in the swimming pool turned a slimy pea green and the grounds were infested by swarms of bees — especially alarming because Krause is severely allergic to bee stings.

“I couldn’t even go outside to enjoy where I live,” said Krause, a 21-year-old office worker who pays $827 a month for a one-bedroom apartment with garage space. “I shouldn’t have to pay $800 a month to live in a … hole.”

It wasn’t until early March that Krause and other residents learned why the complex – the alluringly named Alante at the Islands — was rapidly going to seed. The property owner, Irvine, Calif.-based Bethany Holdings Group, had abandoned the complex and a dozen other large rental properties in the greater Phoenix area after defaulting on hundreds of millions of dollars in loans.

As panicked renters in Arizona began holding public meetings to explore whether they could walk away from leases, recoup security deposits or sue, it became clear that the scale of the mess was far larger than they had realized. Companies under the Bethany umbrella owned at least 60 — and possibly many more — large residential complexes across the nation, all of which are now believed to be in bankruptcy or receivership, potentially affecting tens of thousands of renters.

The Bethany Group meltdown highlights how few protections exist for renters caught in the foreclosure crisis. That’s a situation that some experts say is becoming much more common.

Don Imus Has Prostate Cancer Stage 2! He thinks he'll beat it! I HOPE NOT

The broadcaster Don Imus said that he has prostate cancer, the Web site of New York’s WCBS television station reported. Mr. Imus, 68, made the remarks during the Monday morning broadcast of his syndicated “Imus in the Morning” radio program, which in New York is broadcast on WABC-AM radio; he said that he had stage II prostate cancer, giving no further details of his prognosis, but added that he was confident his doctors would beat it.

According to FoxNews.com, Mr. Imus speculated on air that the cancer could be a result of stress. Discussing his diagnosis on the show, Mr. Imus said, “The day you find out is fine. But the next morning when you get up, your knees are shaking. I didn’t think I could make it to work.”

Mr. Imus was heavily criticized in 2007 for making disparaging remarks on air about the Rutgers women’s basketball team

Austrian Man Raped Daughter for years and Fathered His seven GRAND CHILDREN!

This guy is now on trial for murder as well this don't make any sense! Where was her mother and where were the family, neighbors, or even friends! I'm sure some one had to notice something wasn't right in that house! This isn't okay nor is is sane who fucking rapes their daughter for years and kills the children this guy must have been a Nazi!

According(Reuters) - A 73-year-old Austrian man who fathered seven children with a daughter he imprisoned in a cellar for 24 years goes on trial on Monday for the murder of a newborn boy who died underground. Three of the children born in the cellar were raised above ground by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie after he pretended Elisabeth had abandoned them. Police say Rosemarie did not know of her husband's actions.

Prosecutors say Fritzl is responsible for the death of a twin who died shortly after being born in the cellar in 1996.In comments via his lawyer last year, Fritzl said he had lived a "second life" in the windowless 60 sq metre (650 sq foot) cellar complex, watching adventure videos with the children and bringing flowers for Elisabeth, who cooked dinner.

Elisabeth told police she had been kept on a leash in the early months of her imprisonment.Fritzl told them he had threatened to kill his captives using gas if they tried to escape.


They say this was murder through neglect because Fritzl failed to seek help for the baby, whose body he burnt in a furnace.
His lawyer says his client is not a "sex monster", but expects to spend the rest of his life behind bars. A verdict is expected on Friday.

Josef Fritzl also faces a range of other charges ranging from rape to enslavement for the incarceration of his daughter Elisabeth and three of the children he had with her -- acts that sent a wave of revulsion through Austria and the world.

"He shut (Elisabeth) away in the cellar and made her totally dependent on him, forcing her into sexual acts and treating her as if she was his own property," his charge sheet reads.Fritzl, who built the soundproofed cellar with a reinforced door under his home in the town of Amstetten, could face life behind bars.

Fritzl's lawyer argues that a charge of enslavement is inappropriate, but says he will plead guilty to deprivation of liberty, coercion, rape and incest.He will, however, contest the most serious charge, murder.

HBO on Tuesday defended its plans to depict a sacred Mormon temple ceremony in an upcoming episode of "Big Love." The drama about a Utah polygamous family will show an endowment ceremony Sunday. HBO said it did not intend to be disrespectful of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and apologized.

But the ceremony is an important part of the "Big Love" story line, HBO said.In the scene, actress Jeanne Tripplehorn's character, Barb, goes through the endowment ceremony as she faces losing her membership in the Mormon church.

Usher Makes Statement about Chris Brown and Takes it back ? WTF



Charles Freeman, Saying Good Bye?

This is a statement that was published from Wall Street Journal, As those who know me are well aware, I have greatly enjoyed life since retiring from government. Nothing was further from my mind than a return to public service. When Admiral Blair asked me to chair the NIC I responded that I understood he was "asking me to give my freedom of speech, my leisure, the greater part of my income, subject myself to the mental colonoscopy of a polygraph, and resume a daily commute to a job with long working hours and a daily ration of political abuse." I added that I wondered "whether there wasn't some sort of downside to this offer." I was mindful that no one is indispensable; I am not an exception. It took weeks of reflection for me to conclude that, given the unprecedentedly challenging circumstances in which our country now finds itself abroad and at home, I had no choice but accept the call to return to public service. I thereupon resigned from all positions that I had held and all activities in which I was engaged. I now look forward to returning to private life, freed of all previous obligations.

Recovery Logo, It this what you want to see in recovery?



According to the Associated Press, The famous blue eagle of F.D.R.’s 1935 Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) was designed by the noted advertising art director Charles Coiner. But last week President Obama unveiled the logos for two economic recovery programs of his own: the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (Tiger). “These emblems are symbols of our commitment to you the American people,” he said about the brand marks that will remind the public “that your government is putting the economy back on the road to recovery.”

And like their Depression-era predecessor, these marks did not emerge from whole cloth (or magic pixels). Steve Juras, the creative director of the Chicago firm Mode Project (which collaborated on the Obama campaign’s “O” logo), led the designers Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Co. and Chris Glass of the design collective Wire & Twine to develop the right marriage of type and image. The White House guidelines for each logo were very clear. “It was explicitly stated that the ARRA logo not look ‘governmental,’ ” Juras said.

Vampire Skull found is it Real?


Among the many medieval plague victims recently unearthed near Venice, Italy, one had never-before-seen evidence of an unusual affliction: being undead.

The partial body and skull of one woman showed her jaw forced open by a brick (above)—an exorcism technique used on suspected vampires.

It's the first time that archaeological remains have been interpreted as belonging to a vampire, team leader Matteo Borrini, a forensic archaeologist at the University of Florence, told National Geographic News.

Pastor Dead, 2 Injured After Shooting at a First Baptist Church in Illinois


llinois pastor used the Bible he was reading from to shield himself from bullets being pumped at him from an unknown gunman who opened fire during Sunday services at the First Baptist Church in Maryville, Ill.

Senior Pastor Fred Winters was preaching during the 8:15 a.m. service when a man entered the church, walked down the aisle and started shooting, a parishioner told FOX News. Four others were also reportedly shot.

The .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol then jammed and the suspect started stabbing himself with a knife, Ralph Timmins of the Illinois State Police told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Timmins said the gunman slashed two parishioners when they tried to subdue him.

The suspect is in serious condition and is heading to the operating room, according to Saint Louis University Hospital.

Winters was shot three times, police said. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Anderson Hospital, a spokeswoman told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Five other people were taken to local hospitals.

Police said there were about 150 people in the church at the time of the shooting.

Linda Cunningham was sitting near the back of the church when the gunman walked up the aisle. She told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch she figured the man was confused about what time the service started because of daylight savings time.

Cunningham told the Post-Dispatch she, as well as others, didn’t recognize the gunman.

Some parishioners believe the gunman used church bulletins to conceal his weapon.

“All you could see was confetti” Cunningham told the Post-Dispatch.

The church has an average attendance of more than 1,200 and was officially organized on March 4, 1945, according to their Web site.

Spring Forward Summer Time Change 2009

Since I was a kid, I've never been too crazy about springing forward. I've always thought falling back was a much easier daylight savings time change. Not like we have much of a choice though, unless you're in the state of Arizona, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, chances are you're going to have to set that clock forward one hour at 2 am on Sunday. The 2009 time change is here and spring is soon upon us. Don't forget to set your clocks ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

T.O. speculation ends as receiver agrees to sign with Buffalo Bills

For fans of the AFC East, get your popcorn ready.

Outspoken receiver Terrell Owens, released by the Dallas Cowboys,found a new home with the Buffalo Bills on a one-year, $6.5 million contract. ESPN's John Clayton broke the news.

Running back Kevin Jones could have been Owens' teammate in Buffalo, but Jones decided to stick with the Bears over the Bills.

Good decision, Kevin. Now you don't have to deal with the circus.

Some folks around here wondered why the Bears didn't make a play for the potential Hall of Famer. Well sources inside the organization said Owens was never, ever considered.

T.O. is sure to become the show in a small-market city such a Buffalo. But maybe playing for a team not constantly under the microscope might help Owens get his act together.

How do you think Owens will fit with Buffalo, a team already dealing with troubled running back Marshawn Lynch? And will the Bears regret not taking a more serious look at Owens?

Terrell Owens' days in Dallas are over after all



ESPN and Fox Sports are among several outlets reporting that the Cowboys have cut Owens, who averaged 1,196 receiving yards in three seasons with the team. The Cowboys had yet to confirm the move as of 2 a.m. ET Thursday morning.

Owens' divisive effect inside the Cowboys locker room may have prompted Owens' dismissal. In December, the Cowboys had several off-field dramas as a fissure developed between Owens and QB Tony Romo.

Owens at several points during the season publicly asked for a bigger role in the offense.

"You know what he brings as far as personality and the good and bad of it all," ESPN analyst and Hall of Famer Steve Young said on the network Wednesday night. "The Cowboys seemed to have found a dance step to at least survive it.

"It's still semi-surprising that they'd actually pull the trigger."

Millionaire through Mega Millions

After weeks a guy from Ocean county, New Jersey won $212mil at Mega Millions. The lucky numbers were 26, 32, 35, 43, and 52. The Mega Ball was 10.
Unfortunately, those prizes never escape taxes and therefor $75 Million must be subtracted.
Still a lot of money is left and he/she can call himself/herself the single winner of the biggest Mega Million prize.

What would you do if you earn some millions?

Facebook attacked


I am sure everyone knows Facebook and a lot of you have an account there like I do.

With quite a few users (175,000,000) it is an inviting target for worms and viruses. But of course Facebook is not the only social network that has been taken advantage of. MySpace, Bebo or Friendster are hit too.

Appearence of the worm: If you get a message from a friend that sent you a link and brings you to a page that looks like youtube be aware! Ususally a picture of your friend is shown too. To watch that video you will be asked to install the adobe flash player. If you do so you will enter the site that has the worm as a download.

Once you got the worm it will control your computer. So better get software and plug-ins from the vendor's site!

I am a facebook user and I am always careful with all these applications you can install.
How do you save yourself against these threats from the internet?

One More Time Sigfred And Roy! Final Bow!

According to ABC, A standing ovation for a final performance by illusionists Siegfried and Roy, and the Bengal tiger that ended their careers and nearly killed one of them.

The brief charity show saw Roy Horn and Siegfried Fischbacher side by side with Montecore, the massive white tiger that brutally mauled Horn during a 2003 performance, partially paralyzing him.

Horn re-emerged last night dressed in black robes, his face covered with a skeletal mask. The dark stage was covered in smoke. Horn limped slowly onstage, often steadying himself on Fischbacher's shoulder.

People with no where to sleep in Atlanta? SNOW!

Get Rid of the Catalase and You Can Get HOT BABES!

A simple, but powerful enzyme, catalase, has been found to be the culprit for causing gray hair. Catalase enzyme production declines with age, preventing hair follicles from producing melanin. In essence, catalase deficiency allows hydrogen peroxide build-up, bleaching our hair to gray then white.

According to results of the study, published in the FASEB Journal, hair becomes bleached from the inside out. Over time, our hair turns gray. Catalase enzyme levels decline with age and cease to give us protection from graying. The findings solve a long sought after mystery about why our hair turns gray.

Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor-in-Chief FASEB says, “

Catalase enzyme the cause of grey hair!


We might age now without being bothered of those grey disturbers.

The production of this enzyme declines with aging which causes the declination of melanin production. Therfor hydrogen peroxide can build-up bleeching our hair to that unwanted grey and later white.

The highest concentration of catalase can be found in our liver so don't destroy that organ by drinking to much;)

I want to know whether you care about grey hair and it is scaring your guts out or whether it does not bother you at all. Tell me!
