Wake up grandma, cause Brandon Funston has his first Fantasy Basketball Big Board up on Yahoo. Actually, he had it up on May 30th, which seems ridiculously early to coherently think about next season, but Brandon Funston has the largest set of balls on the Interwebs.* Personally, I’d wait until at least until after the [...]
It’s been interesting watching the MSM dissect the Clinton campaign with a whole range of experts saying why she will not be the Democratic Party nominee for the presidency. I would venture to say these are the same experts predicting a Hillary Clinton win a year ago. It’s that which I have found remarkable today as Sen. Barack Obama becomes the presumptive nominee for the Democrat
he SharpDevelop project started as a "one man show" in September of 2000, just a few months after Microsoft released an Alpha of what was to become .NET 1.0 in early 2002. SharpDevelop is Mike Krüger's brainchild, and he got started because he was disappointed with current programming languages, and did want to try out the new programming language C#. As there was no really good programming edito

You know keywords are important. They are very important because it is the only way that online marketers can know what one is interested in or looking for. But how do you find what is popular and what is in demand? There are so many sites out there that can help you with this. Sch sites as Yahoo Buzz, eBay Pulse, Amazon Popular Tags, etc. There are even sites that provide surveys and publicly pos
At the end of April, just as Microsoft had released Windows XP SP3 to manufacturing, and with Windows Vista SP1 RTM’d since February, the face-off between the two operating systems simply went to the next stage. Now, Microsoft has hardly been a stranger to comparisons involving its Windows clients available on the market, and [...]
Sticker shock. That is probably your first thought, I know it was mine when The Happy Rockette first told me about the stroller. A little more than 3 months later, we own one! See the picture below for a quick look or click here for an in depth look at PhilandTeds.com.

This entire editorial piece is going to be shred beyond recognition here...this idiot needs to move to Austin where its fellow moonbats would welcome it with open cisterns of lunacy...Editorial: Iraq's ongoing shock and awe/Iraqis' lives still dictated by fear, violence12:00 AM CDT on Wednesday, March 19, 2008Ever since the bombs started falling five years ago today, the Iraq war has been the focus of worldwide controversy. Nevertheless, it was hard to deny the sense of promise at the war's outset, when it appeared that Iraqis would finally be free of a ruthless dictatorship.

The Standard Five-Paragraph EssayWhen writing your causal relation composition, you need not deviate from the usual five-paragraph format. As with any other paper, you can start with an introduction that presents a short background and the dissertation statement.Then you follow up with the main body that you can divide into three parts (the first body paragraph, the second body paragraph and the third body paragraph). Then end your essay with a conclusion that summarizes the main points tackled.IntroductionAs already mentioned above, this part should reflect the thesis statement you are working on as well as a backgrounder that gives the reader an overview of what the topic is all about. An effective introduction lays out all the issues in a short but sweeping paragraph. Even at this early
If you enjoy this site, I think it's likely that this will be the most interesting thing you'll read all day. It's 22 months old, but its subject is one that isn't at all time sensitive. A few highlights:"If you had bet $5,000 on the home underdog in every N.F.L. game over the past two decades, you would be up about $150,000 by now (a winning rate of roughly 53 percent)"Interesting to see that this well-known theory is true. 53% is actually pretty significant, considering the large sample size there. It is unclear if the author is considering the "vig" here; a 53% winning rate is barely above the threshold necessary to be profitable. But either way, it's an impressive percentage."The most certain way for a bookmaker to turn a profit is to balance his book — that is, to set a point spread that produces an equal number of dollars wagered on both sides of the line. Since only losers pay the house a 10 percent fee (known as the vigorish, or vig) on top of wagers, a balanced boo
As we reach a record 16 year high of inventory, the biggest supply since 1991 we are starting to realize that housing was fueled by easy credit. If housing wasn’t fueled by easy credit and went up because of rising incomes and demand as many in the housing industry proclaimed, then why in a few short months has stopping subprime lending and Alt-A loans brought the entire market to a screeching halt? It is becoming more apparent that lax lending standards and easy credit were the fuel that kept this fire burning even though the wood was turning into ash. We were running on fumes. The only thing that would keep this boom going is less restrictive standards and I’m not sure how much lower we can go without our money turning multiple colors and becoming a real game of Monopoly. Unbelievably those in the housing industry and politicians are calling for weaker standards. Here is a list of some of their ideas: · Increase mortgage caps from $417,000. Since anything abov
I decided to remove the “Dissecting Page Rank” paper from my work plan. The reason for this is that I came across a paper that pretty much covers all aspects that I intended to approach. It’s possibly the best independent study I have seen on Page Rank.
So, if one has nothing to add on a subject, why not simply shut his pie hole?
Pagerank Explained Correctly with Examples by Ian Rogers
After weeks of hearsays and rumors, it has been confirmed that lead singer Rico Blanco has decided to leave Rivermaya to start a solo career in painting and acting and from here on will be called “Blanco”. It was a fine night in May when they had their last gig with Blanco. An intense Rico shouted, “Isang huling malupit” in the middle of the song Umaaraw, Umuulan. Japs then seconded with, “Lakasan nyo pa, huli na to.” I was in the crowd, enjoying the adrenalin inside Metro Bar. It was a memorable gig for Rico because it was held in the same place where the then unknown Rivermaya played their first gig opening for Eraserheads. It must have been serendipity that brought him to play his last gig with Eheads former members. Raimund Marasigan (Sandwich) and Ely Buendia (Pupil) were playing that night too.I’m actually surprised it didn’t happen sooner, with Rivermaya being a manufactured band. They were formed much the same way N’sync and O’town were formed. Personally, I
Why is it that we look at things differently depending on whether it's a man or a woman who does something? Think about it. We tend to be guilty of this at times without even realizing it.It's 2005. Women as a gender have gone much further than they ever did before, and if the present trend continues, we will be seeing a lot more of women in fields which used to be exclusively the domain of men. Nowadays you'd be hard pressed to name one profession in which women have not entered. The idea of men being totally superior to women is a long outdated and obsolete concept which is hardly ever brought up anymore, except for the occassional retort of some male chauvinists who still manage to survive in this day and age. Of course, some of the stereotypes live on. Every time there's a bad driver on the road, there are still those who assume it to be a female. Women, while now allowed in various armed forces around the world, are still not routinely assigned to frontline duty and are usuall
