Um, Alex Rodriguez once again is being excoriated by the press -- this time due to the birth of his daughter, ordinarily a watershed event in anyone's life.Why does it seem everything he does PR wise turns out to be so awkward even when it should not be the case?From the Baltimore Sun: Alex Rodriguez passed out during the birth of his first daughter in 2004. "The one nurse had a cold cloth on his head. The other nurse had the blood pressure on his arm. And my mother was, like, rubbing his back. And he is passed out on a couch. And I am there, in the middle of labor," Rodriguez's wife, Cynthia, said on an episode of the YES Network's YESterdays that is scheduled to be broadcast tonight. Natasha Alexander Rodriguez was born Nov. 18, 2004.Is A-Rod a wuss? I don't think it's that big of a deal
Michael's eating dinner, shoveling the food in a bit faster than usual. His sister is sitting next to him.Suddenly Michael starts coughing, and though it's a sizable bark, it doesn't sound serious, so neither his mom nor I become alarmed.His sister, though, feels the need to respond."Michael, are you okay?" she asks."Yeah, I'm all right. I'm just choking," he says, and crams another fork full of chicken into his mouth. Just an average day in his life. Eat dinner, choke, watch TV, play with legos. No big deal.
So I have an appointment with the plastic surgeon on Thursday to discuss a breast reduction. I have wanted this for a long time for medical reasons. Today I became scared about it. I tried to explain to T why. I am worried about the surgery, I am worried that he won't love me like he has, I am worried that the scars will disgust him, I am worried that things won't turn out good. I want him to listen to me and understand why I feel the way I do. Even if he doesn't understand at least acknowledge the fact that he understands that I am scared. I don't know if I am doing the right thing. He said that what matters is the person and the personality. He couldn't say that he would love me no matter what. I told him that I
A quick read of the headlines would lead one the believe the recent credit line non-renewal between Sears Holdings (SHLD) and Bank of America (BAC) is ominous for the retailer. To the contrary, it is an example of a well capitalized company telling a bank to take a hike.
Background (from the SEC filing by Sears):
"On April 14, 2008, Bank of America, N.A., as Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit Agreement dated as of August 13, 2004, as amended (the "LC Agreement"), among Sears Holdings...

CHICAGO – Poor Burt Reynolds. As the No. 1 box-office star from 1978 to 1982, he revived his film career in 1997 with “Boogie Nights”. Since then, he has had the long, slow decline of “B” movies and bad remakes. Reynolds even tainted his own legacy by participating in the horrible 2005 redo of “The Longest Yard”.
Will he ever get the one last script that will return him to glory? The film “Deal” isn’t it. Reynolds plays Tommy Vinton: a mysterious stranger who begins observing young poker hotshot Alex (Bret Harrison).

Whats The Big Deal About Hybrid Cars?By Steven H. LongoriaAs we all become more environmentally conscious, efforts are being made worldwide to reduce the pollution caused by the cars you drive, the trucks that deliver the goods to your favorite stores, your kids' school buses.You've probably seen newspaper articles and TV news reports on hybrid cars. But what exactly are hybrid cars?Hybrid electric vehicles combine smaller gas engines with electric motors powered by a battery system that charges as the gas engine operates. This powertrain combination provides significantly improved gas mileage as well as dramatically reduced CO2 emissions. In these days of $3 gas and global warming, that's no small improvement.If you regularly drive in an urban area, hybrid vehicles are particularly cost-e

Pretty shocking, but I don't think Obama believes this stuff. Why? How could any smart person buy into this factually incorrect, conspiratorial nonsense?
He'll probably distance himself, and the issue may not be a factor in the election. I'd actually be disappointed if it were. I'd like to think that we wouldn't need any extraordinary factors to win in November. I continue to hope that Americans are wise enough to choose McCain's better policies.Powered by b2evolution.

Walk around your house and imagine the difference it would make if there were house plants around the premises. Ferns and dragon tree plants are arranged behind a wooden table on one corner of your porch. The outdoor dining table in your patio is paved by a set of lovely chrysanthemums. The touch of warmth given off by these lovely plants enhances the feel of home. Plants provide enormous benefits for the health, physical and psychological. Read on and discover the role of plants to a healthier you and to a better environment. Biology has taught the basics of respiration. Humans breathe in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide which in turn is used up by plants so they can give off oxygen. This symbiotic relationship shows that plants do not only benefit from humans but that they also play a
Does today feel like a Monday to anyone else out there? Maybe it’s just me because I’m probably one of the few people at work today and actually attempting to do work. Where’s Mitch Martin with a mid-week Monday morning pick-me up?
Well, I instead had to go elsewhere for my daily dose of scantily-clad women, luckily there’s about a million sites out there to address this need and still be SFW. Egotastic put up a nice little photo of a bunch of Victoria’s Secret models in the buff. The picture is from some French Photo magazine that’s celebrating 20 years of Supermodels (I thought all magazines celebrate Supermodels every issue?), and includes Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima, Karolina Kurkova, and Selita Ebanks.
Overall the photo is kind of disappointing. We’re use to seeing these girls wear next-to-nothing and now that they are wearing nothing, you don’t get to see anything. Ugh.

The deals keep coming this season! The latest is at Bloomingdale’s, where you can get 20% off all purchases up to $299 and 25% if you spend over $300 (until Dec. 4). I always sock away a little money before December just to be able to take advantage of sales like this. Last year, for instance, I got a pair of perfect Marc by Marc Jacobs patent leather pumps for $100 off by combining two discounts.
You can really make your money go far with these deal and treat yourself to something you could never justify paying full price for. Thing like this, for instance:
Tibi Deco Print Shift ($375- 25%=) $281.00
Marc by Marc Jacobs Turnlock Teri Tote ($428-25%=) $321
Stuart Weitzman Patent Riding Boots, ($525-25%=) $393

From the man who told you that September the 11th was the result of America's moral decline comes the news today that he has endorsed 'America's Mayor', Rudy Giuliani, for President.Let's remind ourselves what the word hypocrisy means, shall we?Hypocrisy- the act of condemning another person for an act of which the critic is guilty.Maybe this could be the next feature on the 700 Club:
Some people's life are always full of mega events and though they try their best to maneuver themselves into solitary yet some incidents bring them back into focus again. Same the case with Salman.

A man comes home from work one day and he says to his wife: “Honey, I got a new secretary. And imagine what happened! She’s got a red and white bra. You know, these are the colors of my favorite football team. Anyway, it’s not a big deal but it feels good.”
The next day when they come home his wife asks, “How was your day?”
The man says: “Fantastic! It’s not only her bra that is red and white but also her panties. You know it’s not a big deal but it really feels good!”
The third day they meet at home after work and now the man asks his wife, “And what happened today in your office, honey?”
She says, “Oh, nothing special, sweetheart. I got a new boss today. His d*ck is two inches longer than yours. You know it’s not a big deal but, hell, it feels good!”
During Monday's candidate interviews in Tampa, Board of Education Chairman T. Willard Fair told then-candidate and now-commissioner-to-be Eric J. Smith that the next commish will face a budget cut of 4 to 10 percent, and asked where Smith would start paring. But Smith's answer (he'd used the board's strategic plan as a guide) may not be as interesting as Fair's take on more cuts.
Asked by The Gradebook if another round of cuts would be frustrating or distracting, Fair said no, and no.
"If you say 50 percent, I'd be in a state of shock. If you say 25 percent, I'd be concerned. But 4 to 10 percent? Nah," Fair said. "If it's like any other governmental budget, there is some fat there."

The Yankees and the Indians got underway last night and the big story seems to be that LeBron James is rooting for New York and not for Cleveland. Why that actually matters is beyond me really.LeBron grew up as a Yankees fan and he's a huge Derek Jeter fan so of course he's going to root for them in the play-offs. He'll root for them whether he's suiting up for the Cleveland Cavs or for a team in Yugoslavia. LeBron's basketball ties have no effect on his baseball ties and that shouldn't surprise us.How many of us root for a team from a certain city in baseball and another one from another city in football or basketball. If it's like that for us, why should it be different for athletes?If I'm a Cavs fan, the only thing I'm hoping for is that LeBron puts 100% effort when he steps on the hardwood for my team. If LeBron takes the floor on opening day wearing a New York Knicks jersey to go along with his Yankee cap, then we'd have a problem. But this would really not bother me at

Citigroup (C) just announced it expects to report that Q3 earnings will drop about 60% from a year earlier due to "dislocations in the mortgage-backed-securities and credit markets, and deterioration in the consumer-credit environment."
The decline "was driven primarily by weak performance in fixed-income credit-market activities, write-downs in leveraged loan commitments, and increases in consumer-credit costs," CEO Charles Prince said in a statement. They expect a write-down of $1.4...

Mattel Official Apologizes in China What bothers me most is the quote in the Times article of Thomas A. Debrowski, Mattel’s executive vice president, who delivered the apology in Chiner (a little JFK lingo for you).“[The] vast majority of those products that were recalled were the result of a design flaw in Mattel’s design, not through a manufacturing flaw in China’s manufacturers.”While it may be true that a "vast majority" of the recalled products involved design flaws, the company's web site shows about 1.8 mln toys and accessories recalled for unsafe levels of lead paint during the summer. Yes, just for fun I tabulated the lead paint recall numbers.It's astonishing the company would downplay about 2 mln lead tainted recalled items versus the design flaws for which they laid themselves prostrate before the Chinese. Even if Mattel "over-recalled" the lead items, as has been recently claimed, the numbers are still in the hundreds of thousands.There is also a flap over what
The Deutsche Bank Championship isn’t really that big of a deal for Tiger Woods, but for pro golf payers Rich Beem and Brett Quigley there is a lot at stake.
If they finish any worse than second place at the Deutsche Bank Championship, then they are out of the PGA golf playoff.
It will only be the top 70 PGA golfers on the points list that get to play at the golf tournament in Chicago next week and this Deutsche Bank Championship could go a long way to deciding who plays in that PGA golf tournament.
Who do you think will win the Deutsche Bank Championship?

FOMRER skipper Kapil Dev must choose between remaining head of the India cricket board (BCCI) academy and backing a new, unofficial league, board officials said overnight.
Kapil, who led the triumphant 1983 World Cup side, retorted by asking the BCCI to explain why it objects to him being on the board of the newly launched Indian Cricket League (ICL).
"Kapil Dev will have to decide between the BCCI and ICL," saidc board secretary Niranjan Shah.
The league was launched in May by India's Essel Group, which controls the country's biggest listed media firm, Zee Telefilms, with plans to stage annual Twenty20 games by roping in some foreign and India players.
It also named ex-England captain Tony Greig and former Australia Tewst batsman Dean Jones to its board.
The India board has refused permission for the new league and, in a letter to provincial teams, warned that it will stop financial benefits, such as pensions, for those who defy it.

I was in a business meeting, a few years ago, where a White VP stated that she was surprised to read a recent research study that found that—more than White parents—Black parents warned their children and teenagers to stay away from drugs and alcohol and not to smoke (including warnings not to smoke marijuana). The White VP asked, “Can you believe that? I didn’t think Black parents would care. Can you believe they actually warn their kids about drugs? I didn’t think they did that in the ghetto!”She was so shocked by the research study that her voice became shrill and more annoying than usual. She was so shocked that she couldn’t hear the absolute silence in the room. So, she continued to talk about how amazing it was that Black parents didn’t want their children using drugs.There was senior Black and minority staff in the room making 6 figure salaries or close to 6 figure salaries. One of these Black staff was actually an executive and the boss of the VP making the rema
NY Times:"Under criticism from lawmakers of both parties for the dismissals of federal prosecutors, Attorney General Alberto R.

They also are "vowing to get to the bottom of who ordered the dismissals and why."This invariably leaves the paper the latitude to open the thesaurus to pull out and describe the white house effort to explain the situation as "scrambles."

I'm not a very big fan of the horror genre, if at all, and there's only a handful of horror books in comics that I've got any interest in reading. Thus, I really couldn't get enthused about reading the [gushy] news that novelist Stephen King is going to turn his Dark Tower into a comics series.It may not actually be a horror series, but still, given that King has told a tale or two in his career that I found distasteful, that's why I'm really not interested in this either, no matter how much it's sold.Besides, how can one really be excited when seeing how Joe Quesada veers into comedy again:"I think this is sort of like a coming-out party for the comic industry, a way to reach out to the mainstream," said Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada. "We're a very serious art form."Too bad they don't manage it that way.
Everybody just relax...... A 3.4% decline is nothing . It all started when Alan Greenspan , who I can only assume was well into a bottle of Makers Mark and is rapidly become the most irritating former public official since Jimmy Carter incoherently mumbled something on a conference call about the current conditions in the US leading us into a recession, despite all economic indicators to the contrary. Then, the Chinese market dropped 9% overnight and set off a scare. These events would be unnerving to me except when you consider the Chinese market had been UP 13% the previous week and Greenspan, to be honest kids, doesn't have the best track record in my eyes. Look at his reign, he was too slow to get a grip on the bubble of 1999- 2000 (by raising rates behind, not ahead of it) that lead to it "popping" rather than "deflating" and then he was asleep at the wheel on the back end to ease rates and lead us like General Custard into the recession that followed. Personally I am a huge...

I have been a member of this site for a little more then a year, I love it dearly but I am starting to find most of the posts now are all about the Bernina. My Question is what is the big deal with Bernina? Yeah they are a good company but in my opinion there machines are ok. When I was looking for a top of the line machine the Bernina 730 was the first one I went for. But when I test drove it I discovered I hated the machine. It is not all that easy to operate. Sure it has the BSR but I didn't like using it nor did I like the fact that they made it almost impossible to use it on any type of Red or really dark fabric. I also didn't like the fact that the models are so over priced, the dealer I test drove it was trying to force me into the sale and wanting me to trade in a machine for a better price. Sure they are European made but I am sure the computer parts are made in Japan. So what makes this company so much better then the others? I love my Baby Lock Ellegante which has features
