As many among us have warned several times over the past year, and many articles later, Hezbollah has indeed waged its expected blitzkrieg against the democratically elected Government of Lebanon. Within 24 hours, the pro-Iranian super-militia blocked all accesses to the Beirut International Airport, established an exclusive security zone around the organization’s headquarters in south Beirut, deployed its forces into several Sunni neighborhoods in the capital and erected check points across...(read more)
It's a rare situation when a blogger has the opportunity to talk about a family member's athletic achievements in their posts. Mama McNabb immediately comes to mind as one example, although her comments probably get just a little more coverage than mine.But today, I bring you a new story on my "Worst Avid Golfer" father, published on none other than ESPN.com.It's written by ESPN.com golf editor Jason Sobel, who gets the golf audience up-to-date on what a bad amateur golfer from western PA plans to be doing when The Players' Championship is played this weekend, for those who care. But seriously, it's a nice little retrospective on that fateful day in the '80s and how painful it truly was to witness. This is one of those stories that would've been tailor-made for blogs had it happened today,

Touchmaster DS and Game Party sequels join Blitz: The League II and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe to round out Midway's 2008 line up.Can Midway's series weather the Madden 09 blitz?Although the surprising Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe reveal stole the spotlight, Midway Gamers' Day came packed with a few other game announcements. Blitz: The League II headlines the short list, joined by sequels to Touchmaster DS and Game Party. All three games are slated for release before the end of the year.Blitz: The League II will be released on all three consoles--PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii--simultaneously. Midway no longer plans on finishing a Wii port of the first game, which had been scheduled to ship sometime this year. That game, which has come under scrutiny for its controversial subject mat
ICC is hosting every year a relatively big money (2,000 Euros [$3,400] first) online blitz (3 0 time control) event named Dos Hermanas. For the second year running, an untitled player won in what must be considered a gigantic upset against numerous GMs.
But as I understand it, the matches are not...
April 4, 1968 was truly a tragic and sad day in American history because of the assassination of Martin Luther King in Memphis, Tennessee.
Equally tragic is the fact that, before America could finish mourning the loss of Dr. King, on June 4, 1968, a cowardly madman blew out the brains of Senator Robert Kennedy
Na edição deste mês da revista Blitz, destaque para as entrevistas de Bruce Springsteen e Eddie Veddeer. Dois músicos de diferentes gerações, dois activistas em diversas causas sociais e políticas dão-nos a sua perspectiva do actual momento da indústria musical e mostram-nos a sua visão da América e do mundo, a visão que os media e líderes europeus nos tentam esconder a todo o custo.Destaque também para a entrevista dos Rádio Macau a propósito do seu oitavo álbum de originais "8" a ser editado brevemente.Bruce Springsteen "Radio Nowhere" (live video)

This is probably venturing into the realm of 'Too Much Information' but what do I care anymore, you get to hear about my inability to be correctly dressed -before, during and after important occasions such as this or this, you get to hear about my unintentional workplace kinkyness and indeed you get to hear about my enforced self pleasuring, using the term pleasure very loosely of course.Anyway, It's a big day or so here in the mad house on humping hill- It's ovulation day (and a bit) !Now, in past months we've gone with varying saddle strategies, such as:-Gung-ho!, whenever, wherever, all month long with no idea of when ovulation is occurring.-Guesstimation!

After the buzz surrounding the auctions Indian Premier League is setting it up for a huge marketing campaign from March. Mint reports on how together, BCCI, Sony and the teams are likely to spend around Rs160 crore on promoting IPL across various media platforms, including television channels, newspapers, mobiles and the Internet.BCCI’s advertising tag line is expected to be themed around “the fight for excellence". “The campaign will be entertaining and aspirational and will try and invoke team loyalty by creating passion around the city it represents.Initially, the campaign will run in India, but later, BCCI and WSG plan to take it global. “ the next two years they plan to take the campaign to various cricketing markets outside India, specially those from where players have been
It ain't big or clever...With the festive season fast approaching, the customary refocusing of efforts to stamp out drink driving is in full swing. The Gardai and the PSNI have launched a joint cross-border anti-drink driving campaign, while the Guards have also announced they will be putting special emphasis on hung-over and 'morning after' drivers over the coming weeks.Recent figures from the RSA show that nine out of ten drivers found to be over the limit were men, while one in five early-morning traffic accidents involved alcohol. Over 15,000 people in total have been detected over the limit so far this year - a thoroughly unacceptable figure. A widespread outbreak of basic cop on will be required if this menace is to be reduced in 2008.

It's now 10 PM Eastern. Remember the challenge I posted about over the weekend? Well we are two hours away from the start of the November 20th Blitz!

After a scathing report on Ronaldo the previous game, he decided to bring his A-game today. A brace in a space of 2 minutes by the Portuguese maestro, in the first half settled the game.I caught this game with Kentona over at Cow's place and I was completely knocked out by the time I reached home. Hence this late report.Blackburn gave a really good account of themselves, and were probably one of the toughest opponents we've faced at OT this season. Their form and record against the other top 3 opponents spoke for itself.The game was pretty even with both sides coming close to scoring. But it was Ronaldo who scored twice in as many minutes, to put United in front. The first was a beautifully placed header from a Giggs corner in the 34th min. The second came shortly after when Tevez found Ronaldo on a counter attack.Early in the second half, Blackburn were reduced to 10 men. Kentona, Cow and myself were expecting another round of goals, but it didn't materialize. Sparky's team had in

First, for those of you who are new or don’t remember, here’s the skinny on this periodic post.

THE Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians’ military capability in three days, according to a national security expert.Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for “pinprick strikes” against Iran’s nuclear facilities. “They’re about taking out the entire Iranian military,” he said.Debat was speaking at a meeting organised by The National Interest, a conservative foreign policy journal. He told The Sunday Times that the US military had concluded: “Whether you go for pinprick strikes or all-out military action, the reaction from the Iranians will be the same.” It was, he added, a “very legitimate strategic calculus”.Click here for complete article.

NEW YORK - Victoria Beckham's attempts to woo the US media since arriving in Los Angeles soccer star husband David appear to have backfired, with critics savaging a reality show she has appeared in. "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America," was originally intended as a mini-series, but trimmed to a one hour special by the NBC network.Billed as a revealing special that "delves into Victoria's larger-than-life world to reveal, among other things, her wicked sense of humor and style," the show failed to impress the mainstream media.The New York Post gave the show a damning zero-star review, slamming the pop-star turned fashion figure as "relentlessly self-promoting" with "vapid, condescending behavior" in a show described as "an orgy of self-indulgence.""You'll sit there slack-jawed at the gall of these people who think we are that stupid," the Post's reviewer wrote in a scathing broadside, also laying into the couple's "nightmarishly overdone rococo mansion" in Beverly Hills."The 'sp

Sudah beberapa lama nih semenjak bunga kehidupanku lahir dan menyapaku di dunia ini (almost 10 months since Fasya's birth), I haven't went to cinema again with my wife. Paling ke bioskop sama temen atau sama adek gue.Sekarang Fasya sudah 10 bulan, akhirnya kami berani meninggalkan dia sama yangti di rumah (sebelumnya kami berdua tidak akan pernah mau ninggalin, karena Fasya masih ASI eksklusif).

WEST Indies fought back to avoid the follow-on after Monty Panesar had threatened to run through its batting on the third day of the first Test with England at Lord's overnight.
At the close West Indies was 7-363 after England declared at its overnight 5-553.
A sixth-wicket partnership of 92 from 76 balls, by the obdurate Shivnarine Chanderpaul (63 not out) and Dwayne Bravo (56 from 59 balls), restored West Indies' fortunes after Panesar had taken four quick wickets.
Wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin scored an invaluable 60, reaching his fifth Test half-century with two boundaries off the disappointing Steve Harmison.
After England had declared, left-arm spinner Panesar bowled Devon Smith for 21 with his first delivery of the match 10 minutes before lunch.
He then won leg-before appeals against captain Ramnaresh Sarwan (35), vice-captain Daren Ganga (49) and Runako Morton (14) in the afternoon session.
The brightest batting of the day came from Bravo, who used his feet to sti

Here are the Stephanie Bennett blog blitz posts I've found so far. Being an organizer, I wanted a way to locate all the posts quickly, and thought you might find it useful, too.These are all terrific. You've looked at the issue from so many angle and perspectives, but you all point to the same conclusion: that the removal of Evelyn Bennett from her home is a terrible miscarriage of justice.Most of all, you made it clear that Evelyn Bennett needs to come home NOW! This message has a special poignancy today - it's Evelyn's first birthday (thank you, Judy, for posting about that).I gleaned these from comments, and Google and Technorati searches. Some of you listed here have posted multiple times on the subject, in which case I picked the post I liked best. I'm sure I'm missing some, too - who? Leave a comment with link so I can add you!! And then Theresa can add you to her candlelight tree, too.And don't forget to listen to the interview with Judy Bennett, Stephanie's attorney Jen

OriginsUSA calls for adoption community bloggers to help.2007, to increase media and public awareness of the coercion used to obtain the surrender and removal of five month old Evelyn Bennett from her seventeen year old mother, Stephanie Bennett, on September 12, 2006, in Canton , Ohio.Traditional media, with the exception of Rick Armon of the Akron Beacon Journal, have largely ignored this story. As outlined by Mr. Armon in the original story on December 31, 2006, the Bennett case has many unanswered questions. Despite the lack of media coverage, the interest of the online community has not diminished and has been kept alive for months via blog articles, adoption forums and online chats.Kicking off the Blogger Blitz will be a live stream, online, radio interview with Judy Bennett, Stephanie’s mother and grandmother to baby

She ripped open the floor. Literally. She had ripped up the floor and was sitting in a corner rocking back and forth with her arms wrapped around herself. When I wrapped my arms around her she was shaking and her sharp intakes of breath rattled her head against my chest. I looked at the floor and then I rested my chin on the top of her head, closed my eyes and waited for the shaking to subside.
I couldn’t imagine where she found the strength to rip up the floor.
His name was Martin and he had been our best friend since we’d moved into the house six years ago. Martin made it to all the birthdays and anniversaries. It was like a revolving door for his dates but Martin was the constant. He brought wine, the good stuff, and he let me know when I might be missing a really good game on TV.

The Federal authorities are in no hurry to allow Louisiana citizens back to what's left of their homes : the area is enjoying a 2/3 white supremacy very much different from the 3/4 pre-Kathrina black rule.

we had friends over for non traditional 4th Thursday in November. our own little family. no stress, no fanfare, no hoo-ha. one of my friends asked me if my adoption related issues kicked into higher gear during holidays.not so much. although i was pregnant during fall & winter holidays, i don't have any special warm & fuzzy moments that i refer back to annually.it was right around thanksgiving that i picked Betty & Barney. it was the day after thanksgiving that the birthfather mumbled something about "giving the baby to his cousin in california who can't have kids 'cuz then the baby will be in the family. you know." commence ear-splitting shrieking on my part.do i miss the Kiddo more at holidays? no. since there's never been any special holiday "thing", i don't hold anything lost or missing. i don't think about christmas eve, or christmas morning, or new pajamas, or big yellow trucks, or the smell of cookies or the sound of little-boy laughter.i lied. i think about
In Bangladesh, Mr. Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, a pro-Israel Muslim journalist was recently attacked and beaten by a crowd that included leading officials of the country's ruling party. Mr. Choudhury, editor of the Weekly Blitz newspaper, is facing charges of blasphemy, sedition, treason and espionage in connection with his articles critical of Islamic extremism and favorable to Israel. If convicted, Mr. Choudhury faces the death penalty. An Oct 18 article on Jpost.com by Michael Freund states: Dr. Richard Benkin, an American human rights activist leading the fight for Choudhury's release, expressed grave concern about the current situation."Choudhury is unique because he has not fled to the West, but continues to oppose militant Islamists from inside the Muslim world," Benkin told the Post. "He feels that if he can defeat the radicals in their own back yard it will be a victory for peace and justice unlike any other thus far.""More and more Muslims are looking at this case," Benkin

I'm not sure what type of defensive schemes the teams from Indianapolis or Chicago have planned for the Super Bowl, but on Feb. 4th the team from St. Louis plans an all out blitz during the game. Anheuser-Busch is the single largest advertiser in Super Bowl XLI, having purchased a total of five minutes of the most expensive advertising real estate on the planet.Thirty seconds of time on the CBS broadcast of the game between the Colts and the Bears went for a record $2.6 million. Spots in the game have sold out. It is a coveted place for advertisers because in an age of cable network proliferation that has diluted television audience numbers and encroachment on traditional media by everything from the Internet to satellite radio, the big game still delivers. An audience of 90 million is expected to watch the game in the U.S. It is annually the most watched television program in this country.Anheuser-Busch will use the game to push its Budweiser, Bud Light and Bud Select brands.
