Are the thrash-metal kings Slayer ready to hang it up after closing out their 2008 tour schedule? Well, probably not directly after the tour winds down; they have an album coming out in 2009—their tenth—that will satisfy their contract with Rick Rubin's label, American Recordings. But given that frontman Tom Araya told the UK metal site Thrash Hits that "seeing a 50-year-old man headba

Most people will try to weasel out of their mistakes. But actually admitting a fault puts you one step closer to dealing with it, and it can often be the first step towards turning the problem around. At the very least, it shows that you’re someone with integrity and courage.

American actress Lindsay Lohan was reportedly made an offer of 1 million dollars by a U.S. showbiz magazine, to admit she’s a lesbian.

A minor flap Thursday and Friday is providing a window onto the kind of man John McCain is and the kind of President he would be.

An organization known as Breaking the Silence will publish tomorrow testimonies from 39 people who served in the Israeli army which paint a picture of a “reign of terror” brought upon the Palestinian civilians living in Hebron and other areas .The testimonials describe random beatings by Israeli soldiers as well as theft, murder and intimidation of the civilian population in an effort by the NGO "to force Israeli society to address the reality which it created".Among the disturbing testimony to be published are accounts of torturing children and their parents by placing loaded pistols in the mouths of children and threatening to kill them as their parents watch in horror.

According to the results of an online survey issued by the prominent journal Nature, 20 percent of respondents, largely drawn from the scientific community, admitted to using brain-enhancing drugs such as Ritalin and Provigil.
Sixty-two percent of the scientists who had taken drugs used Ritalin, while 44 percent reported using Provigil. Only 14 percent tried beta blockers like propranolol.
The nearly 1,500 person survey was launched in the wake of a pair of recent articles that touched off a storm of questions about widespread neuroenhancer use by the scientific community.

The latest outlook from the National Association of Home Builders foresees a full recovery in the housing sector being delayed until 2010. While this date has been largely debated by economists and other housing experts, I can't recall any other time before this when the NAHB has actually agreed with the assessment.

The Bush administration needed a reason that complied with the Laws so they could go after "the bad guy of their choice" namely laws that had been set in place to protect us from mobs and "criminal organizations" such as the Mafia. They paid Jamal al Fadl, hundreds of thousands of dollars to back the U.S. Government's story of Al-qaeda, a "group" or criminal organization they could "legally" go after.

Freaking Jesus Already, can't the married people in New York keep it in their pants? WOW!

In a stunning revelation, both Paterson, 53, and his wife, Michelle, 46, acknowledged in a joint interview they each had intimate relationships with others during a rocky period in their marriage several years ago. In the course of several interviews in the past few days, Paterson said he maintained a relationship for two or three years with "a woman other than my wife," beginning in 1999.

Yeah, that's right. I'm about helpful as a blind man in a library, when it comes to this sort of stuff. The Story: JPMorgan Acts to Buy Ailing Bear Stearns at Huge Discount (Via New York Times) Bear Stearns, pushed to the brink of bankruptcy by what amounted to a run on the bank, agreed late Sunday to sell itself to JPMorgan Chase for a mere $2 a share, narrowly averting a collapse that threatened to cascade through the financial system. The price represents a startling 93 percent discount to Bear Stearns’ closing stock price on Friday on the New York Stock Exchange. Bankers and policy makers raced to complete the deal before financial markets in Asia opened on Monday, as fears grew that the financial panic could spread if Bear Stearns failed to find a buyer. T

INDIA Cpatin Mahendra Dhoni has highlighted concerns that his side may be physically and mentally exhausted when it arrives in Australia in December. The Twenty20 masters soundly defeated Australia by seven wickets in the one-off match on Saturday night at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. But there are fears the return contests in Australia this summer might be one-sided because of India's gruelling schedule. The Indians have been flat out almost since May, and they will play arch rival Pakistan in a three-Test and five-match limited-overs series before landing in Australia. "We have a 10-day gap right now, and in between the Pakistan series and the Australian series we have just a three or four-day gap," Dhoni said. "It's quite tough on the cricketers, but that's the way it goes. "Even if you're feeling tired or exhausted, you cannot walk out on any of the matches."

Kent Police has dramatically admitted that people caught speeding with handheld laser guns during at least the last four months may have been wrongly convicted. The admission came after details were revealed yesterday on this site of an internal force email sent to all south Kent Police officers instructing them that use of all laser speed guns had been suspended. The email stated: ‘Following a court case at Folkestone yesterday and in liaison with the Criminal Justice Unit (traffic) a review of speed enforcement policy is to be made regarding the use of all laser speed guns in South Kent. ‘Pending this review, NO further FPN’s [fixed penalty notices] or summons should be issued.’ A source has told MCN the action is force-wide.’ The email was dated October 4 and said it was hoped the review would be completed within two weeks. It said officers would be notified of ‘any changes in policy required before any further enforcement takes place’. Kent Police’s

The QPP said, “At no time did the Quebec Provincial Police officers act as agents provocateurs or commit criminal acts. Also, it is not part of the policy of the police force nor is it part of its strategy to act in this manner. At all times, the officers responded to their mandate to maintain law and order.”A video of the incident had been posted on YouTube, which, as of this date, had received greater than 170,000 views. I

First we had this article in the New York Times saying that the Iraq war may be winnable after all, now we have this article from the same paper telling us we may need to stay in Iraq for years.
Even as they call for an end to the war and pledge to bring the troops home, the Democratic presidential candidates are setting out positions that could leave the United States engaged in Iraq for years.
So it now appears that the Democrats are starting to cut back on the rhetoric all of a sudden and the New York Times is helping them to do it by letting the anti-war left know (slowly but surely) that the Democrats may not be able to deliver on yet another campaign pledge. But this isn’t just another campaign promise, this is THE campaign promise.
Could it be, as I feel, that the Democrats now realize that they have gone to far with their promises to end the war? They knew that they were never going to be able to end the war without committing political suicide, but now they cou
The chief security officer from Mozilla says Firefox has the same flaw as IE, ironically called a ‘critical vulnerability’ by Mozilla themselves recently. Fear not however, firefox users, as a patch is in the works as we speak.
“Over the weekend, we learned about a new scenario that identifies ways that Firefox could also be used as the entry point,” said Window Snyder of Mozilla. “While browsing with Firefox, a specially crafted URL could potentially be used to send bad data to another application.
“We thought this was just a problem with IE,” Snyder continued. “It turns out, it is a problem with Firefox as well.”
Jesper Johansson, a former Microsoft security strategist put the point accross as to how Firefox was just as guilty as IE in terms of failing to validate input.
Johansson openly showed how passes potentially harmful, malicious URLs to other applications. He went on to say: “Firefox is subject to the exact same flaw

They passed domestic legislation in their much publicized first 100 hours in congress. (Even though they called a timeout in the middle of the first 100 hours so they all could go home and watch the national championship college football game, before restarting the clock.) But only one piece of that legislation has become law. A meaningless minimum wage increase. This whole notion that families are trying to earn a living at minimum wage is absurd. It’s highschool teenagers, and entry level workers earning that pay. When you show improvement, you move up the payscale.

The young stars of “Harry Potter” films have confessed to drinking and smoking.
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, who play young wizards, say they have experimented just like all other teenagers.
Emma Watson revealed, “You are careful not to do it in the public eye. You have your first cigarette or first glass of alcohol in a safe environment with your close friends - or you could be foolish and choose to do it in a London nightclub.”
Rupert Grint added, “Because we are quite busy we do miss out, but we still have those kinds of experiences like getting drunk for the first time.”
Despite enjoying going out, Daniel Radcliffe revealed he always puts his work first. He said, “What I enjoy most is the acting and the work, but it doesn’t stop us from having a party once in a while. Parties are fine and fun.”
In the latest film, “Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix,” Daniel has his first on-screen kiss wi
Ever since I was pointed to Keith Brand’s blog I was puzzled and the more I looked into things the more puzzled I became.
He sold his condo in AZ near the peak of the market there, apparently to an investor from Chicago. It appears he still rents his old digs from that new owner. Ok, [...]
I'm pretty damn impressed with the sober look that Pete Doherty's got goin on here. He's probably not sober, but he looks 100% less messed up than he usually does. I don't know what the hell he's playing in a celeberity soccer match, but whatever. More pics at DLISTED.

What's Your Personal Wealth?Let's admit it, we go into business to make money. Sure, we probably were motivated by other factors such as passion, a mission, experience, a market gap...However, our lives are dominated by thoughts of how to make enough money to live on, how to make more, how to become wealthy and how stay this way.It doesn't matter whether you're starting out or feeling a lot of abundance, you'll have your challenges. Making money represents power and our attitude reflects how we feel about abundance.Not sure what you believe? Ask yourself these questions...What words below correspond to your beliefs about money?Of the words listed below, what do these words mean to you? Add your own...Security, power, freedom, materialism, fun, legacies, greed, corruption, oppression, opportunity, generosity, evil, goodness, status and success.Our fears often keep us from achieving what we want because we feel we'll change too much or our world will change for the worst so we self
Ricky Williams is officially on our "If we never hear his name mentioned again, it will be just fine with us list."From the AP:Former NFL rushing champion Ricky Williams tested positive again for marijuana last month, delaying his return to the league until at least September, a person familiar with the case said Friday.Williams sought to end a one-year drug suspension last month when he asked to rejoin the Miami Dolphins. But following the positive drug test, clinicians in the program advised NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to delay reinstatement, the person close to the case said.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the testing program.I love how the "confidential nature" of the testing program always seems to produce a "person speaking on the condition of anonymity."Last month, [his agent Leigh] Steinberg quoted Williams as saying his interest in eastern philosophy had overcome his desire for mind-altering substances.And by mind-altering su
Well, I've been in CA now for 12 days, and Lesberada and I finally found an apartment this weekend that didn't look like something out of Westside Story or Rent. I was actually starting to get used to living the life of a nomad, but I have to say, it feels nice to have a place to finally call home. Plus, the cats were getting annoyed that they didn't have a permanent place to put their litter box. Now that we have our own apartment, complete with palm trees and an in ground pool, we have access to television but alas! no TV. On top of that, my dear computer of 6 years bit the dust last night when I tried to turn it on. If it wasn't for work and my ability to access the outside world via the internet, I would be completely and utterly lost. Well, for the most part I still am. I mean, how is a girl to survive without Television? I MISSED the American Idol that Ellen hosted (I hang my head in shame), along with my other favorite shows like House, The Office, and others that I

Surprise! Iran lied. to all of you credulefts out there, which version do you believe?
Anyways, I've never been in that situation so I can't speculate as to what I'd do. I hope, however, that I would never cooperate as much with the enemy as the British sailors did.
The second issue is the silence one hears from the left over their treatment. Let's review:
1. The sailors were uniformed lawful combatants i.e., not civilian clothed terrorists. Even if they were in Iranian waters i.e., not kidnapped, they were entitled to certain treatment under the Geneva conventions. Some of the ways Iran violated these protections:
1. They were kept in isolation and their chain of command not respected.
2. They were subjected to mock executions. Colonel West from the United States did the same thing and was punished by the U.S. Army.
3. They were used for propaganda purposes.
The silence you hear from the left is deafening, no? Wait! I hear something. Oh it's just them defending Iran and t
Well, after 3 failed attempts to install the new IE7 browser, it finally loaded! Wow, I actually expected it to take longer. Now comes the real fun; just how will it send my computer into chaos? Ok, enough cynicism for MS, and on to IE7. So far, it is a huge improvement from previous versions, with tabbed browsing, and a cleaner look. It does have a more fluid and powerful feel to it, that actually seems like it is not so cumbersome and boring as IE6. The new browser is heavily marketing the security features (refer back to chaos), and RSS feed capabilities (finally) and the ability to handle CSS and other website design tools automatically, that previously looked scrambled in IE. Bloggers will appreciate that. So far, I have to say IE7 is a vast improvement(mostly because they copied everything people liked about Firefox), and will make the 3 sites I have to view in IE much better. Otherwise, there is no chance I'll switch from the far superior Firefox. I almost feel sorry fo

Shopping, then headed over to Stamford. I admit that I did prolong my eventual visit there, but I was uncertain of what to expect & therefore was a bit reluctant to go back without backup (namely Jaime, Azmie, Jason or whoever). Talked to Ms.Gwen, who gave me advice on where to do my practical and stuff. She also invited me to join their upcoming trip to Mulu. But... No-lah. Ms. Mau came up to me with congrats for getting another distinction for one of her subjects. As for Mr.Antinius, he asked if I failed F&B Control. As if he didn't know. :)Felt a bit uncomfortable when everyone I met asked me where I'm working or doing my practical. I took my result slip & certificates also that day, so some of the people that I know well, like Arthur & Judy for starters, wanted to have a peek. Unfortunately, a few other people were also around then and wanted to have a look-see too. Of course-lah, I got embarrassed! ^-^I waited for Benjamin to finish his class, then we went for a drink.

C'mon Sadie!I'm not ashamed to admit it: I freakin' LOVE The Bachelor! There's something so pop culture-ly delicious about watching a group of women who are old enough to know better compete for air time and the attention of some random guy. I love seeing them make total asses out of themselves. And they deserve every snarky, hateful comment that comes out of my mouth when I watch that show because a) They're willingly themselves in the situation and therefore deserving mocking merely because of that, b) They all obviously have daddy issues and if there's one thing that the American Psychological Association has taught us, it's that mocking girls who throw themselves into demeaning situations in the desperate attempt to gain the fickle love of a random man will cure them, and c) They're dumbasses!That said, my favorite girl, thus far, is Sadie. I hope she wins. She's so cute, all "I'm saving myself for marriage" (meanwhile you just know that there's some boy from her ne
Maybe I Shouldn't Admit This But I think John Cena is really cute. Ridiculous, I know. The man is a "wrestler," shaves his armpits, and according to Wikipedia, is an aspiring rapper as well. Good God. And yet...how can you can think someone with a body and face like his isn't cute? Don't judge me.
I feel a lot like Roy Williams at this point. Some may remember when Roy Williams left me speechless a couple of months ago when he guaranteed a victory over the Chicago Bears only to eventually lose by 27 points.With that said, just five days ago, I guaranteed a win over Depaul. On a side note I must mention, anytime someone guarantees a win, one of two things will happen. Either you guarantee a win and you win, you look like a genius for calling it and receive praise from everyone that you know, or you guarantee it and you lose, resulting ultimate embarrassment because you rode around your office on a sled being pulled by actual huskies with fitted jerseys of the UConn players for the past couple of days. I,of course am the latter.UConn fell once again, this time to Depaul. No, sadly I did not stutter. Depaul beat us, 66-58. Jim Calhoun decided to go with another new starting lineup this time benching Jerome Dyson for the first time all season, who coincidentally led us in scoring
In the first article here, from the Jerusalem Post, we find out that Fatah overlord Muhammed Dahlan's nephew was kidnapped:Tensions between Fatah and Hamas were again running high in the Gaza Strip following the kidnapping of Fatah leader Muhammad Dahlan's nephew by Hamas gunmen on Sunday afternoon.According to reports, Ashraf Dahlan was stopped at a Hamas checkpoint when the incident occurred. Currently there is no information of his whereabouts, nor have any demands been issued for his release.And I won't shed any tears for him. Terrorists, and it's most likely that he was too, aren't deserving of any sympathy for their "problems".In the second article, also from the JPost, this is quite a surprise: "palestinians" saying that they don't deserve a state, and even admitting that they're ashamed to call themselves palestinians!"Everyone here is disgusted by what's happening in the Gaza Strip," said Shireen Atiyeh, a 30-year-old mother of three working in one of the Palestinian A
This has been, and will be covered ad nauseum, but it needs to be in the Book of Scrap since it's such a monumental issue.
