TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned Iran on Thursday that the United States will not back down in the face of threats against Israel.
Iran answered with another round of missile tests.
Iranian state television portrayed the missiles, fired Wednesday and again overnight, as a demonstration of the country's ability to defend itself against an attack by Israel or th

I had a situation recently where I was asked out to lunch very last minute. This is something that I don’t want to stop happening because I love to hang out with my friends and family. However because of the timing, I was unable to really prepare myself for any panic that could arise. I told myself on the drive over a few things I thought might help, but I was already a little flustered. As I was waiting to meet my friends, I could feel the anxiety come and felt immediately nauseous. It has been so long since I had felt this high of anxiety that I wasn’t sure what to do at first. I thought, “I need to get distracted.” So I went into a store and looked at jewelry that I wouldn’t mind owning. When I peeked out I saw they were there. We decided where to eat and as I was ordering t
Bravo, Congressman Steve King of Iowa! It seems that Congressman King has caused a political firestorm in recent days by having the courage to actually proclaim to the world what I myself pointed out here for the first time at the Anvil way back in January of 2007, again in February 2007, and still [...]
Amrita Rao has apparently turned down a role opposite Ranbir Kapoor as she didn’t want to kiss on-screen.
A source says that Amrita had been approached to play a role in Yash Raj’s next which stars Ranbir and other Bollywood leading ladies but Rao decided to back down over the lip lock. (more…)
Went paddling again today. It seems that I work on a Tuesday and a Thursday and then the rest of my week is filled up with paddling activities. Not a bad life but it takes a bit out of you and maybe that is why today's activities were not as high octane as two days back. Quite frankly though I wasn't bothered: I just like to be out paddling. Yes I do prefer the harder rivers, but if that was the only thing I got out of bed for I wouldn't be doing much paddling as they aren't in condition that often. Today we headed to the Wenning, one of the tributaries of the Lune, which flows through Bentham, Wennington and many other villages that have that League of Gentleman feel.A self portrait near the beginning of the trip with the rest of the group in the background.Running one of the small drops on the river. The river is characterised by shingle rapids and this was one of the few times the river dropped over something more solid.The smaller weir, which you run with the intention t
Some people think the U.S. will find a way to justify and sell its people on a war with Iran. After all, Iran's nuclear program can be interpreted as having the ultimate goal of creating an atomic bomb.Vladimir Putin, the current Russian president, warned the U.S. not to take any military action in Iran."But they're building nukes!""I don't care. Don't invade."Option #1: Invade. Begin WWIII.We enter Iran. Russia assembles a League of Arab Nations and fights us. BOOM!Option #2: Don't Invade. Iran gets The Bomb. Nukes us. WWIII.Why prolong the inevitable? Why get nuked?
It doesn't get any better than this. On Don't Back Down the rip-roaring punk songs with no melody ("No Tit," for instance) are more than counterbalanced by the many mind-blowingly catchy songs ("Punk Rock Girls," "Number One," "Janelle, Janelle," ad nauseam). Some of the songs, dare it be said, even surpass many of Brian Wilson's perfect pop songs. Whereas the Ben Weasel-fronted group the Riverdales aspire to be nothing more than Ramones imitators, the Queers successfully use the musical vocabularies developed by the Ramones (as well as Brian Wilson and others) and take their songs to new levels.

I am in a serious funk today and I don't have anything to talk about......sooooo, here is some music that is better than my mood. I'm also opening up the floor for questions. I wanna play "Ask Sister Toldja and Holly Go Hard". Me, myself an eye, I have a unique perspective about things in this thing called....life. And I want to share them with you. My alter-ego, the party girl Holly Go Hard, also will add her two cents. Ask me anything, anything in the world. Not sure what to do with your life? Need relationship advice? Wonder who to vote for in the next election? I can tell you what you need to know. It may not be helpful, but it will definitely be entertaining. Remember: I'm not always right, but I'm always tight.And now, it's time to start the show:De La Soul- Stakes Is HighI know I post this every few months, but I could really listen to it over and over and over! Bahamadia-True Honey BunsMaxwell- 'Til The Cops Come KnockingLaaaaaawd ham'ercy!!!!!! No words for this man, no
Comment: I am impressed with Mark (picture above). At 48 years old, a double amputee, he had scaled the highest mountain in the world. How many of us, fully able-bodied had harbored such dreams? Despite the controversies surrounding him, he had made it up and down - a feat that not many can do. As for the Malaysian team heading up to the roof of the world, I wish them well. KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 (Bernama) -- Making the summit of Mount Everest is only half the journey, the bigger challenge is making it back down, alive.And that, says 48-year-old Mark Inglis, should be the goal of every climber who attempts to scale the highest mountain (8,850 metres) in the world.The New Zealander understands this philosophy very well, because a year ago today, he became the first double amputee to successfully undertake the feat."The most tragic thing about scaling Everest is that as you go up, you pass dead bodies. These are like signposts. These are climbers who died on the way down.
So apparently Tom Brady didn't impregnate his Brazilian supermodel girlfriend. Which is good, because if he left hot actress Bridget Moynahan for the super-hot Gisele, Tom would have been forced to create some sort of omnipotently hot uber-woman to leave Gisele for, presumably out of diamonds, a keg, and a Victoria's Secret mannequin.However, this does support the argument that Brady doesn't have
Looks like a Roc vs Dip Set battle is in full swing with shots being thrown from everyone. I'm having flashbacks of survivor series, those were the days.

Well, I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Years. I got all kinds of lit up, acted a damn fool, and got back all in one piece--yay for the train system and a bunch of crazy ass, great friends!Anyway, enough of that.I'm back on the plantation, and you'd think that with a new year, people would act like they had a shred of human decency, at least for the first week of the year. But no. Heeeell no. As you can tell from a recent post, we interviewed a bunch of potential new hires and hired a new person. Well you would think that on your very first day of work you wouldn't be on the offensive and try to run shit, especially if you're a regular staff member. No management duties. None of that. Nope, just coming up in to a new job tombout (yup, I said tombout) "Yall aint gotta train me on that computer program and how to do this job. I already know that stuff. You aint gotta teach me nuffin'. You can't teach me what I already know". Shit changes after the interview and the job offer
