To many, standing awkwardly is only employed in rare occasions such as waiting to meet someone or holding back from approaching the buffet line so that they don’t look too eager. For a rare few, standing awkwardly is an art.Maricopa County is lucky to be home of two world class gentlemen of ungraceful posture: Real Estate mogul, Michael A. Pollack and Maricopa County Treasurer and Congressional District 5 Exploratory candidate David Schweikert.Both Pollack and Schweikert are known for capturing themselves in seemingly uncomfortable poses and then placing the imagery all over town. The two posers have agreed to compete in a contest to see who can place their awkward mount in the largest number of situations and with the greatest amount of creativity.Pollack, and his “one hand in the pocket and the other gripping an item” pose is rumored to be superimposing his image on to a farm scene where he will be holding the reigns of a pony.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals linebacker David Pollack, who broke a bone in his neck during a game last season, isn’t expected to play this year. “He is working extremely hard and will continue focusing his efforts on rehabilitating with our medical staff,” coach Marvin Lewis said.

The club said he is continuing to recover from surgery he had Jan. 3. “I’m grateful for my more…
Hamsters and squirrels are two animals that are well known for hoarding food. Although the type of hoarding for hamsters (larder hoarding) is different than that for squirrels (scatter haording), the behavior is a natural one for each species. For humans however, hoarding is clearly a symptom of a deeper problem. Unlike animals, people who hoard seem to collect useless stuff. We all have a "junk drawer," but for these folks, homes and yards are excessively cluttered with debris and they are often live in squalor. Hoarding behavior in humans may be the product of several mental disorders, but at the root are feelings of fear and dread. Hoarders are usually excesively attached to their possessions. Family members may tag hoarders with innocuous labels such as "packrat" or "eccentric," but in truth, a compulsive hoarder is a breed apart. The Collyer Brothers of New York City were famous hoarders. In 1947 the brothers were found dead in a Harlem townhouse filled to the rafters with over 10

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, David Pollack, finally got his stabilizing halo removed on Thursday. He had been wearing it for the last 3 months, when he broke his neck in week 2 against the Cleveland Browns. It has been very hard the last 3 months for the Pollack family. David hasn't been able to shower, driver, or move from his waist up. David's main goal was to be out of the halo by Christmas so he could turn his head to open presents. When asked how it felt to take a shower for the first time in 11 weeks and 3 days. "I stayed in the shower until I was good and pruned," Pollack said. "I think I washed my hair and body seven times."But getting the halo removed is just the fist step. The Pollack family will still have to wait till Friday to find out if he will have to have spinal fusion surgery. If he has to have the surgery, then his career would be over, if he doesn't then their is still a chance. I hope he doesn't not only because he's one of my favorite players, but I don't
Well last week I posted about David Pollack getting his halo device removed and we would ahve to wait aobut a week to find out if he had to have neck surgery to completly heal his broken neck.If the title didn't tip you off, well, it turns out he will have to have the spinal fusion surgery. All though it is good news that he will recover, the surgery will pretty much end his career. Although the neck will be repaired the risk for another broken neck is highley likely. And doctors said if you break your neck once you may be able to play football again, but if you break your neck twice you may not be able to walk again. I have said many times that Pollack is one of my favorite football players and I am really upset by this news. The fan in me wants to see him back on the field, but their is nothing more important than family and if playing football again risks him being able to do something that is taken so for granted as walking or one day being able to play with your kids then there i
