Congratulations to Hrithik Roshan for being the proud father of one more adorable cuddling joy. We express our heartiest pleasure at Suzanne Khan giving birth to a boy on Thursday at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital.The baby was born at 11.27 am local time. The boy is said to be healthy and weighs around 3.3 kgs. The couple already has a son named Hrehaan and wanted a baby girl, but nonetheless, they are equally happy at this gift from God.Hrithik, who was last seen in the epic drama ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ had been putting off all his travel schedules outside Mumbai due to wife’s pregnancy. Now, with mother and son fine he will next begin shooting for his home production Kites, which will have him pair with Latino beauty Barbara Mori.Technorati Tags: Hrithik RoshanDel.Icio.Us Tags:
With the birth of their second child on Thursday, Labour Day will perhaps now hold more meaning for actor Hrithik Roshan and wife Suzanne. Suzanne delivered a baby boy at Mumbai’s Lilavati hospital on Thursday. The baby born at 1127 hrs (IST) weighed a healthy 3.3 kg at birth, sources at the hospital said."Both the baby and the mother are doing fine", a doctor at the hospital told PTI.This is Hrithik and Suzanne’s second child. Hrehaan, their first son, was born on March 28 2006.Del.Icio.Us Tags: Congratulations to Hrithik and SuzanneTechnorati Tags: Congratulations to Hrithik and Suzanne

When I have a patient in labor, I have to make sure that I chart pretty much every single little thing that happens. But, especially, I have to chart certain milestones. Like...your due date...the first day of your last menstrual period...when your labor started....when your water broke, when your cervix in dilated to 10 cm. When the baby is born...when the placenta is delivered. But, you know what IS NOT A MILESTONE? When you lost your mucus plug. I don't really care. Your doctor doesn't care. Your midwife doesn't care. If you call your midwife at 3 am to tell her that your mucus plug is currently exiting your vagina? and she tells you to put it in a baggie and take in to the office the next day to show the other midwife? She's probably really mad at that midwife (or has a rea

I suppose that congratulations are in order. I think, that's whats supposed to happen when two people like Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson decide to unite. Right?Now they can swap make up and clothes and try and resurrect each others dying careers together. It's sweet in a kinda sad way. Ashley just released this statement on FriendsorEnemies;“We know there has been a lot of speculation recently about Pete and I and we wanted our fans to be the first to know, because you guys are the best. Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes - it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us.”Well um congrats you crazy kids. Here's to Po

OMG, OMG, OMGZ! Quick, and very big congratulations to Miss Halle Berry for having a beautiful and very happy baby. It seems like Miss Berry has been pregnant for ages, way longer than 9 months. Halle Berry is now the proud mother of a 7lb 4oz baby girl! Thankfully her baby daddy is a hottie so her kid should inherit the gorgeous gene no problem. According to source Star Magazine,"Halle was overcome with emotion when she finally held her little girl. She said everything she had gone through was worth that moment. The tears kept coming as Halle didn't even want the nurses to take her baby to clean her up and measure. It was a truly beautiful scene." We couldn't be happy for Halle Berry and her sex-ay model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. Supposedly her mister has been obsessed with reading baby bo

Please follow YAB Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat’s advice, please do not use your victory to seek revenge on those that have done nasty things to you. I know it is hard but please forgive them since they are nothing but morons and you are not like them. Be humble and treat your victory as a chance for you start a brand new life as champion of the people. InsyAllah, you will do okay…Other than that, I would like to congratulate you for your new appointment as Penang’s Chief Minister.

Photo from istockIt's the finals week for both my little brother and sister. And for most of the college students here in Cebu, except for the graduating students. Why isn't it the finals for them? Because they're already done with their finals, that's why. Last week, they already took their exams, while the candidates for the honor roll took their about two to three weeks ago.

The Dish announced today that Jillian is the winner of the Sew Not Over competition:
"Well, Bravotv.com users, you've spoken. Just to refresh, we asked this season's Project Runway designers to create a three-piece collection for our Sew Not Over online challenge and had you guys vote. And your winner, with over 20,000 votes, is ... JILLIAN! We called up the Sew Not Over winner to tell her
Christian, you showed a vulnerability that we had never seen before and in the end, you let your design do all of the talking. Your collection was the very definition of "fierce". It was a brilliant showing and a deserved win. How old are you again? Send your love and congratulations to Christian here. Please, only positive comments under this post.
Well! Was that not a FABULOUS finale or what? For all the (occasional bouts of) boredom this season induced in us, we have to say, those bitches really BROUGHT IT for the big wrapup. And how refreshing that the judges made a decision that, while it wouldn't have been OUR first choice for the win, was nonetheless a choice with which we have no problem. In fact, we kept nodding our heads and

The second Brentwood International Chess Congress took place two weekends ago. Several Streatham and Brixton Chess Club players took part, with Robin Haldane doing well to score 3/5 in a very strong Open that was eventually won jointly by Grandmaster Jonathan Rowson and International Master Odion Aikhoje, each on 4½/5. However, pride of place from our chess club goes to Alan Hayward who with 4½/5 finished second in the 67-player strong Major, winning himself £150 no less. Here's his thumping last-round win against Upminster's Aidan Corish:If you'd like to see more games from what seems to have been a very successful event, then check out the tournament's website, which in fact features a lot more besides: votes about the structure of next year's congress, a message board, photographs, r
It is my belief that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences deserves a nice round of applause. Reason being: they didn't screw up.

The much anticipated result of the December 2007 Nursing Licensure Examination has been released by Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) yesterday. Funny, because yesterday was our Company’s Performance Appraisal (PA) for 2007, I went home around 5 in the morning just to finished my appraisal and while I am waiting for a queue from my boss, my brother called me up and said that the result is on the internet now, and if I can check it out immediately. I am really nervous that day, not for my appraisal but for the exam’s result, I was hesitant to click this link, honestly I hate surprises and before I could click on this link, I received at least two text messages from my sister asking the same thing – the result of the exam. But before I could check the site, my brother give me a

With $70 billion set aside for the war effort.
And so ends the first year of the “most ethical” Democratic Congress, not racing through the finish line in triumph, but turning tail and running the opposite direction, utterly giving up on everything they promised to do if elected.
And people wonder why I am so pessimistic when it comes politics and politicians. And people wonder why I have absolutely no confidence and trust in our government.
And people think I’m overreacting when I call our government one of the most evil institutions to ever exist on this planet.
Because make no mistake, the passage of this bill is downright evil.
The Democrats, so desperate to spend other people’s money, took the mandate America gave them when they were swept into office, and proceeded to use it as toilet paper. The war will now continue until Bush is forced out of office, and most likely will continue under whatever other criminal we put in place to “lead” us (wi
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Syed Shahir Syed Mohamud of MTUC for retaining his presidency seat after winning the poll held during their Triennial Delegates Conference yesterday. Courtesy of MalaysiaKini I’m glad that he won it because he truly deserves it. I really don’t like his deputy who challenged him for the presidency seat. His deputy sounds and behaves like some kind of a Barisan Nasional and UMNO sympathizer to me and our poor Malaysian workers working in the private sector certainly have no need for such people at the moment. MTUC must be led by a no-nonsense leader like Syed Shahir. Carry on Syed Shahir! Related Post on MalaysiaKini: MTUC polls: Syed Shahir retains post, rivals win big Tired of Malaysian politics?

The game time ended at 24:24, the two overtime rounds continued to maintain the equality (27:27) and two extra overtime rounds were finally necessary to decide a winner.In the next game, Romania will play against Russia, a game similar to the finals last two years ago, when Russia won the gold.

Your confidence and determination have served you well each episode but this time you brought your hip aesthetic to the everyday woman. Your client gave you multiple limitations (no dress, skirt, color, pattern, etc.) so you were challenged to reinvent a basic jeans/black top combo. You quickly created a fresh look with innovative horizontal pleating that made the lady strut down the runway with self-assurance. We jumped up and down with you when you got to meet Sarah Jessica and you showed us your leadership skills at the helm of 'Team Star.' And fierce? You not only design it - you live it.This post is only for POSITIVE words for Christian Siriano.

I don't think my sister has ever looked more beautiful :-) The only negative about this event, is that I could not attend due to my health.

In spite of the fact that your work each week has been meticulous, you've flown under the radar as far as the judges were concerned. This outing you took the big risk and assumed the leadership role; we all know by now that this means that you were vulnerable. You wisely selected to incorporate all three elements - overalls, poodle skirts and 70's flare - as well as using fabric to unify the looks your team created. You also chose to work with designers that share your impeccable construction skills but you still worried without ever resorting to bullying or drama. Each garment in the mini-collection was strong, well-executed and had a clear point-of-view leading the judges to declare an obvious winner. And overalls a fashion don't? Never in Jillian's world! Brava!This post is only for POSITIVE words for Jillian Lewis or her team. If you have comments or opinions about other work please visit our reaction post here.

You presented a beautiful sketch and a strong idea to Sarah Jessica. Any doubts that SJP had about making the garment interesting were eliminated when she saw your ensemble come down the runway. You excelled as a team leader and the result of your collaboration, a dress and vest, was well-executed. You took a flattering silhouette, coupled it with a sophisticated palette and added construction detailing that resulted in a fashion forward look within a budget for the Bitten line.

BRAY, Ireland — The Man Booker Prize carries with it a check for £50,000 (about $105,000), a guaranteed increase in book sales and, for little-known authors, instant popular recognition. But the spotlight sometimes falls in unexpected places.
That is what happened to the Irish writer Anne Enright, who won the 2007 Booker for “The Gathering” last month. The novel, in which a woman tries to untie her family’s tangled past as she brings her brother’s body home to be buried in Ireland, has won glowing praise, as Ms. Enright’s books generally do. But almost immediately the praise was intermingled with criticism over a recent essay by Ms. Enright in The London Review of Books.

Last weekend the local newspapers reported that leaf pick up service was starting this week. The problem is, there aren't many leaves available for pick up. Today's real estate travels took me through Monroe, Livingston, Wyoming and Genesee Counties. For the most part, things are still pretty green around here with the exception of the Warsaw and Wyoming, NY areas and even there, I didn't see very many leaves on the ground. In fact, today, October 17th, I took this photo of a shrub in my front yard with new flowers.

Congrats to all of the guys who competed at the tournament in Oregon on Saturday. Coach Foster took several guys down to Oregon to compete in the tournament hosted by Impact Jiu-Jitsu and they did very well. Bingo, Josh and Trevin all represented, and while Rick went down to compete, there were no purple belts that were big enough to give him a match.Josh ended up taking bronze in his first tournament as a blue belt. He got two matches, and ended up losing to the guy who eventually won gold 2-0. Trevin lost a match 8-7... so close. He did well, too, winning a bronze medal. Bingo won the white belt division after what Coach described as four hard matches. Coach Foster was prepared and awarded Bing his blue belt on the podium. How cool is that?So, congratulations to everyone who competed, and to Bing on your well deserved promotion to Blue Belt.
Al Gore was our high school sweetheart - helped us with our homework, was caring, patient. Then George W. Bush came along and boy, was he a knockout in a smoking-behind-the-school sort of way. So naturally, we abandoned the nerd for the tough-talking C-student. That's how we do in this country. Things were okay for a minute, so we just wrote off Gore's fight in the aftermath of the 2000 election as sour grapes. He missed us and was willing to do anything to get us back, but we just wanted to move on and enjoy life with our new partner. Except the new chick got pregnant right after graduation, spent all our money on other men, started fights that we had to finish, and berated us in front of our buddies whenever we didn't agree with her. Congratulations, America. Our ex went on to get an Emmy and we were glad to see her move on and succeed on her own. Then came the Oscar for a movie that encapsulated all the things she had tried to
Today it was announced that the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was jointly awarded to The UN’s International Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) jointly with Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States under Bill Clinton. This is the very same Al Gore who should have become the forty-third president of the US, had it not been for the disastrously bad partisan (5-4) vote by the Supreme Court in its 2000 decision to anoint the Presidency to whom historians now call “ The worst President in US history, George Walker Bush.
According to BBC News, “By choosing Al Gore and the IPCC for the award in 2007, the Nobel Committee have rightly brought to our attention that climate change is the single biggest threat to world peace we have ever faced.”
Mr. Gore has been a champion for bringing awareness of climate change with his 2006 Oscar-winning documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth”, and numerous books over the years on the the importance of ecology.
The IPCC, a UN body whic

That's what this guy is holding.
And that's the EXACT same number of posts that My Writers Circle celebrated hitting today. One post per piece of popcorn!

I was so pleased to hear Dr Gopakumar's result at the Court of Appeal today. Gopakumar succeeded in obtaining permission to appeal the GMC's judgment. Dr Gopakumar who was represented by the MDU initially has been misjudged by the General Medical Council. The BBC featured this story on him sometime ago. I subsequently wrote this on the mishandling of the case. Essentially, Dr Gopakumar a well liked doctor with an unblemished record was subject to a complaint by Ms B. The GMC wholeheartedly believed Ms B. His barrister stated "Mr Pennock said that, as well as receiving a police caution after she was a passenger in a stolen vehicle, Miss B’s medical records revealed she had used heroin.“That clearly makes the decision unsafe,” he told the Appeal Court.This is though what the GMC directed its panel in the character of Ms B. "Barrister, Ian Pennock, for Dr Gopakumar, said that, given the woman’s history, the panel should not have been given a direction by its legal advisers that
So, do you think Hung deserved to win? I do…and here’s why:
*He took the judges’ criticisms and ran with it. They said they couldn’t see Hung in Hung’s food, so it was important for him to work on cooking with more identity and soul. Hung stepped up to that challenge. This meal was all about him.
*His food has been solid throughout the competition. There’s really not been a week when I thought he was in significant trouble. Although he was in the bottom a few times, he was never THE bottom person (or even really close for that matter).
*He met the “fourth course” challenge with a good dessert. I feel like Casey and Dale both relied on their sous chefs to come up with a plan, but Hung said “I know what to do” and just gave Sara direction on what to do it. Yes, it wasn’t “innovative.” But, it was a damn good cake, AND let’s not forget that he baked it at a high altitude. That’s not exactly easy.

Sport Club Corinthians Paulista is founded on Sep 1, 1910 in São Paulo, Brazil«On September 1, 1910, a group of labourers in the neighborhood of Bom Retiro decided to create their own club. Their idea was to found a football team in which anyone could display his abilities in the sport, since back then, in the beginning of the 20th century, football in Brazil was considered to be an elitist sport, played mainly by British descendants and people who worked for British companies.Under the lights of an oil lamp, in the "Rua dos Imigrantes" (Immigrants Street), the labourers Joaquim Ambrósio, Antônio Pereira, César Nunes, Rafael Perrone, Anselmo Correia, Alexandre Magnani, Salvador Lopomo, João da Silva, Antônio Nunes founded the first popular club in São Paulo...» (from Wikipedia) Avaí Futebol Club is founded on September 1, in Florianópolis, capital do estado de Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Recently, there has been a move made by Microsoft to get their digital document format OpenXML accepted as a standard by the International Standards Organisation (ISO). There have been many descriptions of how this format contains components that are proprietary and can’t be implemented by anybody other than Microsoft. Acceptance as a standard means that a government may, more easily, accept and prescribe it as mandatory for any communications. This, in turn, will mean that anybody who communicates with that government must use Microsoft’s software.
So, this can mean only that: the user’s choice is more limited, innovation is stifled, and the government is left vulnerable to the vagaries of the vendors’ business decisions in the future.
Yesterday Standards NZ decided to vote ‘no’ to the OpenXML standard proposed by Microsoft in competition with the present ODF standard. Congrats for making the right decision in the face of a tirade of PR noise. Let&r

Congratulations to all of the First Time Home Buyers!
This past week, Tabitha and Jacob moved into their new Beazer home in Natomas. It was a pleasure working with you both and getting the very best deal for the two of you. Who says you don’t need a Realtor to represent you when dealing with a Builder? That statement wouldn’t hold water with the two of you, would it?
And to Cheryl and David, enjoy your new home in Elk Grove, CA. It was a long time coming but it is yours and the excitement I saw in both of your faces was exhilarating. It was my pleasure to help find just the right home for the two of you and to introduce you to your new neighbors. It was fun taking that photo of you carrying Cheryl across the threshold… have you recovered???
Mark, I think we saw every house on the Real Estate market for sale. Mid-town is a great place and within walking distance to all of your shopping, restaurants and coffee shops. What a great old home you have with a full b
