Disguise

(Credit: Drinkstuff) Some of us at Crave are old enough to remember when the Harrier "Jump Jet" gained fame (or notoriety) in the Falklands War of 1982, an aircraft that seemed to arrive from the future because it could take off vertically like a helicopter. That, anyway, is what came ...

Today's Gossip NewsTom news:He's From That PlanetConsidering all the speculation that surrounded the casting of the upcoming “Star Trek” movie, it wouldn’t seem like a stretch to think that Tom Cruise might be one more late addition to the roster.“Tom visited the set of the movie and chatted with J.J. Abrams,” a source close to the actor said. The last time Cruise was spotted on a set for a movie he wasn’t said to be signed on for — “Tropic Thunder” — it turned out he had a small role. Unfortunately for Cruise fans, the visit to the “Star Trek” set was just a social call — Cruise and Abrams are friends, and apparently, Cruise is a fan of the television series and in particular, Mr. Spock.Elle: Hey, Jay!

There are certain topics that I like to repeat on this blog because they are so important to the discussion about fighting back against workplace racism. One of those topics is the strategy of many companies to develop pretexts (cover stories) that are used to hide racially based motivations for employment actions, such as demotions, suspensions, firings, etc.When you are dealing with racists, in today’s society, very rarely will a manager be dumb enough to tell you that you aren’t being promoted because he/she refuses to put a Black person into a certain level job. As a result, a racist manager will come up with other ways to justify denying a promotion to a Black worker. So, the manager will make up a laundry list of false and disingenuous reasons for the denial. These reasons are pr

I am 30 years-young and practically friendless. My husband stands helpless as my depressive/psychotic episodes hover and swarm like so many buzzing black flies. The intensity is now at its maximum force. My one lowly defense is, as I have previously confessed, unrelenting self-talk so that I stay fixed to one place...until it's physically safe to move about my house and around my family. In cold periods of relief I question why I am so alone, without companionship or hope. If I dissect my own behavior and the resultant situation my illness creates, my answer is already there: I am not capable of building that level of intimacy with a healthy person who otherwise does not already know me.Only months ago I could brag that I had a friend who accepted my handicap. I was an expert at silently c

So everybody has office parties to go to right? (Not for me this year.) Do you enjoy them? Do your co-workers get out of control at these parties? Do you have horror stories to tell? Our company Christmas parties were always very enjoyable (I hope they resume giving them next year). I get to dress up and put on make up and feel all pretty and lady-like. And I love chatting with other girls about our dresses, shoes, bags and jewelry. That's my favorite part. It's also amusing to see people act unlike their normal selves after a few glasses of wine. Last year this girl from my floor who I always thought was demure and professional got really drunk, she was dancing with a wine bottle in her hand and her false eyelashes were dangling from the corners of her eyes! I think you should definitely enjoy the party, otherwise people will say you are a standoffish snob that doesn't know how to have fun, but probably shouldn't get drunk and spill wine on your boss. Even if you don't remember w

At the stroke of midnight on 1 January 2008, the transfer window reopens and the Premiership's clubs have a month to boost their squads. The four week period is usually one where clubs get the chance to put right the mistakes of the previous summer, new managers get a chance to impose their mark on the new inherited teams, and disaffected players get the opportunity to put up the "I’m available" signs.  It is well known that Arsene Wenger does not like the glare of publicity surrounding transfer deals, and for good reason. Take the Luka Modric saga as a case in point. I have already pointed out that Arsenal has brokered a first option on the Dynamo Zagreb midfield star. Then it appears that Chelsea’s owner tried to hijack the deal. It is now rumoured that the Chavs intend to buy Modric to prevent him going to The Emirates and then immediately loan him out to PSV Einhoven, who seem to have connections with the Stamford Bridge outfit at the momen

Folks!I really love the way JD Lovrenciear wrote his or her letter. No wonder MalaysiaKini decided to publish it on their website today. :-) The letter was like a beautiful poem decorated with beautiful words such as ‘embraced by the weeping skies’ and ‘the weeping skies work on the emotions’. JD Lovrenciear sure has a way with words. :-)Yeah! The rain that accompanied BERSIH’s mass rally Saturday was indeed special. I was there on that day and I personally consider the heavy downpour as God sends, it was sent down to protect the rally participants.The rain did wonders for us that day. It lessened the effects of those painful tear gases and stinging water cannons fired at will by the authorities. The effects would have been really painful and quite unbearable if there was no rain on that day. I should know because I had the opportunity to join a mass demonstration held at KLCC a few years back and we were bombarded with those same tear gases then. There was no rain and the sk

Mortgage American Reverse: a blessing in the disguiseEveryone aspires to make their reverse house and to live the life with as many luxuries like possible. This kind of thought comes for people from time to time, but the various kinds apparent of responsibilities act as constrained in the realization of these dreams. People spend of the ages trying to inform their children in the best of the schools, universities and then when their kids grow, they must be still occupied of them. With all these responsibilities to achieve, populate the cross their age and they realize that they made nothing for themselves. However, if you are an old man and want to always achieve your dreams, you can easily choose the American reversed mortgage. A reversed mortgage is a kind of loan which is made available to the old men of America and is employed to release the stockholders' equity at the house in the property as a lump sum or multiple payments.The reversed mortgage was in the United States during al

While celebrating her album release at Winston’s last night, Britney, dressed as a french whore, asked the bartender to switch clothes with her. A source at the scene said, “While waiting for a (bathroom) stall to open up, Britney turned to the bartender, who was wearing a low-cut black dress, and said, ‘you have nice tits! Mine are all saggy’!…at this point, the bartender felt that she had no choice but to comply… clearly taken aback, but with a great attitude, went back behind the bar and continued serving drinks in Spear’s French maid outfit, telling patrons, ‘I’m wearing Britney’s costume, including her bra! She made me take her bra!’ ” That’s gross. Why do people keep agreeing to switch clothes with her? I’m pretty sure her panties are coated with a new, undiscovered venereal disease that consists of some combination of herpes, the clap, and HIV. Clerpehiv. It’s like cancer of the poon, only itchier.

Sometimes, believe it or not, I revert back to being a kid. Or at least, I have kid moments. I’m no longer embarrassed by them because, you know, they just happen. Probably, I think, for everyone. My latest, which occurred last night, was by far one of the most hilarious I’ve had. Here’s the story… I picked Karen up from the airport last night, she flew in from her latest business trip, and then we met my brother, Kevin, for dinner at Pastini. Dinner was lovely, and tasty. Thanks Kev for the lovely company and for picking up the tab, you are a scholar and a gentleman. The meal passed without incident and afterward we walked our separate ways to our respective vehicles. Ours was parked right in front of the restaurant, but Kev had to walk a couple of blocks down to his. We took off… Karen and I got to a red light a ways down the road and a car pulled up next to us, but a bit behind us. We thought it was Kev, even though we couldn’t really

As if straight out of Stargate, the latest trend in fashion is transforming. This Spring/Summer 2007 collection actively alters on its own. Hussein Chalayan, the British/Turkish designer responsible for the fad, is no stranger to this kind of style. Earlier, Chalayan created the descriptively named Convertible Skirt/Table. Unfortunately, the clothing doesn't make any cool Transformers sounds as it changes. But, as an anonymous SWBU reader points out, "any dress that dynamically shortens is a good thing".[via]tags technorati : dress dresses husseinchalayan robots runway stargate transformers transforming

Everybody has a bad phase where finances are not easy. Everyone makes mistakes while managing their finances. Some prove more costly than others. This does not mean that people should be deprived of essential things. Bad credit loans offer solutions to people who have been declined credit because of their past.Bad Credit Loans are basically loans which are designed for to people who have had a history of bad credit in the past i.e. they have been involved in one or more of the following:• CCJ?s (county court judgments) • Arrears • Defaults and late payments • People who have been involved in bankruptcy. • People seeking individual voluntary agreements (IVAs)People are labeled or determined on the basis of their previous credit scores. Credit score is a three digit credit rating that represents an estimate of an individual’s credit worthiness as calculated by a statistical model. The UK based organizations which provide the credit ratings to individuals are: Trans Union, Eq

I don’t know about you but I do noticed that this current war of words between some of our government officials and some of our local political bloggers has some kind of a blessing in disguise for the Malaysian Malays (Melayu).Nowadays, every coffee shops and ‘mamak’ restaurants (Indian restaurant) in Malaysia have people talking about our local bloggers and their blogs. I attended several Malaysian Malay matrimonial ceremonies (kenduri kahwin) located far from the city and deep in ‘kampungs’ (Malaysian villages) in the past few weeks and I was pleasantly surprised to hear those village folks talking about some or our well known Malaysian bloggers! Amazing!Like any other good Special Branch secret agents, I just played dumb and strained my ears to listen to their discussions. After much listening here and there, I can safely conclude that the publicity generated by our current war of words between you-know-who and you-know-who has benefited the Malaysian Malays in three parti

Blue-eyed soul outfit John Fred & His Playboy Band were among the biggest one-hit wonders of the 1960s, topping the Billboard charts with their tongue-in-cheek Beatles homage "Judy in Disguise (With Glasses)." Born John Fred Gourrier on May 8, 1941, in Baton Rouge, LA, the singer was the son of professional baseball player Fred Gourrier and juggled music with his own sports pursuits, forming the first incarnation of the Playboys at the age of 15. A favorite at local sock hops and dances, the group's earliest live appearances often found them on the same bill as Fred's schoolmate John Ramistella, who would later enjoy significant chart success under the name Johnny Rivers. The Playboys cut their 1958 Montel label debut, "Shirley," at producer Cosimo Matassa's New Orleans studio with the aid of Fats Domino's backing band; the single soon entered the pop charts, ascending to the number 82 spot, and might have gone higher had Fred not turned down an opportunity to appear on American Ba

The long-awaited Transformers movie finally arrives at British cinemas in just over a fortnight (27th July to be exact). One of the stars, Megan Fox (Hope And Faith, Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen) has recently posed for a fantastic set of promotional shots to mark the opening of the film in America (it's currently number one at the Box Office). There are four sections to the shoot, each featuring Megan in a different outfit. Here at Prawn Cufflinks we love the red dress, but she looks gorgeous in all of the pictures. Or, if you fancy a cheap pun, Megan looks Foxy!Anyway, there are over 100 pictures in total and every single one can be seen in lovely high quality over at the Megan Fox gallery. Here's a little taster:

    First reported figures are indicating that Michael Bay’s Transformers has taken in over $8.1 million on its opening day and a further $29.5 million dollars on Tuesday. Which, for the calculator-less among us, amounts to a total of $38 million in it’s first 28 hours on screen and furthermore, has bagged Bay and his robots the biggest Tuesday opening of all time, topping the wretched Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest by nearly $14 million. Now the bad news: we in the Republic of Ireland and the UK can’t open our wallets to Michael Bay along with the rest of America until the 27 July. That’s a depressing 3 and a half weeks of robot-free time to pass. However, there are ways for the super-nerdy among us to pass the time (presuming you’re a big enough Transformers fan not to have a job or social life):   1. Rewatch the original Transformers movie once a day and pour a bit of your beer onto the carpet every time Optimus Prime d

Paris Hilton flew to Hawaii after her Larry King interview and arrived in Maui yesterday wearing a straw hat, sunglasses, and a black wig. I'm assuming this is part of her campaign to reinvent herself as Smart Paris. Except everything she knows she learned from elementary school jokes, so she doesn't quite realize it takes more than changing your hair color to be taken seriously. She'll always be Paris Hilton. She could win the Nobel Prize in physics and every time you ran into her on the street you'd still feel the uncontrollable need to pee on her.

Tonight before we watched Blue Velvet, we pre-ordered our tickets to the Transformers premiere. I’ve been looking forward to this Michael Bay film, because: a) A Bay film means big budget which means explosions and action that lead to a pleasant theater experience. (imho) & b) The nostalgia, of course! The release date was set for [...] Visit my blog @ ModernSoapbox.com to read the rest.

TMZ just posted one of the first vacation photos from Paris Hilton’s first trip to Hawaii. With all that time behind bars, the over-exposed, porn-making, “that’s hot”- saying, bible-reading, no-drug-taking heiress deserves a vacation! One question, though–is this a real attempt at going incognito? I feel like I’m playing hide-n-seek with my nephew and I still have to pretend I don’t see him even though his feet are hanging out of the closet. I mean c’mon! She’s even giving her signature open-mouth flirty pose. Next time, Paris, try the Groucho disguise with the fuzzy nose and glasses.

Maybe not as decadent as a devil food Decepticon, an Autobot angel cake is equally as impressive. Not made in the stereotypical dark basement, the bot baking was made by a married couple. Andrew and Jessica spent $85 and 22 hours creating the Optimus Prime cake. Andrew gives you a 3d video of the palatable 'Prime complete with midi-esque music, while Jessica offers out the 22 hour Optimus instructions. It would be even more impressive if the cake transformed, or perhaps if someone created an Optimus Prime pie (if only so we could use the utterly cringe-worthy play on "more than meets the pie" -- sorry, couldn't resist!).tags technorati : angelfood autobots cake decepticons devilsfood gamecakes geekcakes robots transformers

Robots In Disguise’ self-titled debut album was released in 2004 to critical acclaim. The Robots, members Sue Denim and Dee Plume, are back with their DIY attitude, while adding a dance floor factor. Produced by Chris Corner of the Sneaker Pimps, the second album has a broader appeal, with songs that are as refreshing as they are dance floor oriented – as evidenced by their intergalactic singles like "The DJ’s Got A Gun," and "Mirror Rorrim," or their daring cover of The Kinks’ "You Really Got Me."

From: DailyMail When Dr Brady Barr decided to dress up as a crocodile, the disguise needed to be good. Otherwise he was in grave danger of being eaten by the real thing. The zoologist adopted his bizarre outfit in the hope of getting closer to a colony of Nile crocodiles, which can grow up to 20ft. His disguise was a prosthetic head attached to the front of a protective metal cage covered with canvas and a generous plastering of hippo dung to mask his human scent.

Designated drivers have probably saved nearly 50,000 lives and spared many more thousands of people from suffering injury from drunk driving. Over nine out of 10 Americans who attend social events where alcohol is served would like to see designated drivers used. And the proportion of people using or being a designated driver has increased dramatically over time. Each year over 73,000,000 Americans either serve as a designated driver or are driven home by one. A designated driver is simply a person who agrees to abstain from alcohol and be responsible for driving others home. The others are free to drink or not as they choose. Many establishments provide free non-alcoholic beverages to designated drivers.A Great IdeaA designated driver helps friends and family avoid embarrassment keep their drivers licenses avoid fines stay out of jail prevent senseless injury and death Advantages to the designated driver concept:The non-drinker has a legitimate and respected role at a social funct

Now, we really think Saab's on a break lately. Only recently, we provided you with shots of the Convertible variant of the 9-3 facelift roaming around in public streets. Shots of the Convertible with no tapes emerged before that, and we've already seen plenty shots of the SportCombi facelift sans disguise. However, it's the first time we bring you undisguised shots of the Sedan variant undergoing testing courtesy of SaabTurboClub.The new Saab will host many different changes other than the new front-end, including an upgraded audio system, adaptive Xenon headlights, a boosted 255hp engine for the Aero trim, and black leather interior replacing the gray leather option.

We reported to you back in January that the BMW 1-Series was on its way to the US in 2008 and that the mini-Bimmer would come in several two-door configurations. After Brenda Priddy and friends caught the 1-Series in an all-out photo shoot in the American Southwest, we're more convinced than ever that the 1-Series will hit US shores, and soon.[Source: Autoblog via Edmunds]Continued- Article, full imageThe 1-Series' price will likely be slotted in between the MINI Cooper and the 3-Series, with some speculation that indicates that the 300 HP, twin-turbo 3.0L may find its way under hood. That kind of power coming packed into a small, RWD vehicle from Bavaria is almost guaranteed to be a fantastic drive. To keep the BMW cachet in the US alive and well, we doubt the normally-aspirated four-cylinder model sold in Europe will come here anytime soon. That is, until BMW develops a new turbo-four.http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/2496

Ok, maybe it's just me (although I know a lot of people would agree) that Ann Coulter is totally a repressed lesbian just waiting to throw herself out of the closet. Think about it, she has built her reputation on the notion that she is this completely angry, virtually fascist, utterly conservative, foul-mouthed, man-hating Republican. And what has this gotten her so far (besides a lot of hatemail)? A boatload of attention from both sides of the political spectrum. Despite a strong following of conservative superfans, everyone will agree she is losing her place in the spotlight. There's this theory that Republicans have the biggest secrets (how do you hide an elephant in the room?) On the contrary, Liberals have nothing to hide and therefore can be morally and sexually free. You have these uptight, ultra conservatives who believe everyone should live by their standard of moral code (which translates into Bible quoting as a means of justification).

We sent out a side with an average age of 20, worth less than Michael Essien and proceeded to outplay the Champions of England for 90 minutes. Theo Walcott scored his first goal for the club with the sort of finish that almost guarantees he’ll be heading our scoring charts one day, and the midfield showed how football can be played. In Denilson, Diaby and Fabregas the future is already here, its clear to me that in order to accomodate them to the best of their ability that we will have to play a central 3 eventually but thats not a discussion for today. Cesc showed leadership all day, even if he didn’t dominate as he can, meanwhile Diaby channelled the spirit of Patrick Vieira and turned and

Yesterday, Liu Chengyang (we call him Liu) and his girlfriend Pan Junli (called “Trampeltier”), Qian Le (someone else with similiar name like me), my girlfriend and me wanted to go to Snow Funpark, an indoor skiing hall in north Germany. Because they have been overbooked the last two days, they recommended that we should arrive before 9 am, so we could still get tickets. Anyway, to get there on time, we had to get up early and meet 6:30 am. 2 minutes before 6:30, Liu called me and told me he had an accident. Quite shocked I asked him what happend and he told me that he broke one of the wheels of his car by driving into the curb. But luckily we were able to get the wheel changed at A.T.U. and we could continue our journey 2 hours later. The trip was around 130 miles, so we had a brake at “Walsdorf Ost”. After we all went to the bathroom and sat back in the car, it wouldn’t start, so we called the “ADAC” (a car club in Germany) to ask for help. A

Can you see me? Mum says this photo reminds her of a Snipe, camouflaged in a reedbed (she used to be a bit of a twitcher). My colouring is quite autumnal I suppose: Dad noticed how I was blending in with the fallen leaves and took this with his new phone. The leaves are from London Plane trees, as you probably noticed. They are a nuisance if they are outside your house, but we thought it was

You have seen them on the corner and in the poorer parts of town with names like "Quick Cash", "Quick Loan", "Payday Loans", "Car Title Loans". They are starting to sprout up all over the country and will soon rival Starbucks for sheer number of locations. They are the new trend in predatory lending practices but still manage to fly under the radar of regulation in most states. They don' t

So I mentioned yesterday that I collected Transformers. Yes, I've got bunches. Not as many as some collectors, but more than any grown man should legally be allowed to own.Wanna see the obscenity for yourself? My wife snagged these pics from my workspace a few months ago to show her disbelieving friends. And this is just part of my collection. There are some in the attic... some more in the closet...I have a real problem, don't I? *sigh*
