Yesterday, I was in the basement with my boys. While they were playing a game on our old computer, I started thumbing through some of our art books to get some sort of inspiration. One of them, a sort of A-Z of artists, got me really interested.

The first season in the Premier League of my Southampton story is still very hard for me. The results are very different but mostly sad. Though we still create rather many moments in every match due to usage of 4-3-3 attacking tactics. Here I have brilliant 4:1 away victory over Derby, fantastic 5:3 with Liverpool, good 2:1 with Aston VIlla and very important, hard 2:1 win over rival Tottenham Hotspurs in FA Cup. On the other hand there were really disappointing losses like 1:6 to Chelsea and 1:4 to Newcastle. It was also very pity to loose the game with Manchester City with the hockey score 4:5 when my Southampton was leading all the match through. By the way, look at the results of December: 2:4, 5:3, 4:5, 1:6 .... Seems like I manage some kind of hockey team!!!! :))) A

If you look at my daughter and you look at me, you’ll notice that we look alot alike. I often refer to her as my mini-me, as do others.

She is me.
Period.
She’s manipulative. She’s funny. She’s outgoing. She’s smart, oh that child is smart. She’s stubborn. She’s strong willed. She’s independent. If she’s thinking it, chances are I thought it to at some point in my life.
And yes, I apologize to my parents on an ongoing basis.
But tonight, I saw something else that I passed on to her. (And yes, I’m going to brag on myself for just a little bit.)

Somewhere in the afterlife, Charlton Heston weeps. With the help of the National Rifle Association and labor unions, a law was approved in the Florida Senate 26-13 that would prohibit business owners from banning guns locked in motor vehicles on their private property.The only companies that are exempt from this law are nuclear power plants, prisons, schools, and companies whose business involves homeland security.However, many business groups opposed the policy because, in this economy, the more people they are going to have to lay off, the better the chance the disgruntled employee will simply get his shotgun out of his car in the parking lot and...you know the rest.If the governor signs the bill, we can then start taking bets when the first occurrence of a mass workplace shooting will a
Nipah virus, a new and deadly brain and lung disease, emerged from Singapore and Malaysia ten years ago, and it is now spreading into rural India and Bangladesh. It kills up to three-quarters of the people who become infected in some outbreaks.
People are catching the disease by drinking date palm juice or eating fruit contaminated by the virus, or through contact with infected animals.
Fruit bats are a natural reservoir of Nipah virus, and the first outbreaks began when pigs on farms ate fruit which had been bitten by infected bats and dropped near their pens. An epidemic spread across the Asian peninsula due to the pig trade.

I don't watch basketball very much. To me, it seems that all you need to see are the last few minutes to see the most important part of the game. The last few minutes last about 30 minutes anyway. But each year, as March Madness around the NCAA tournament grows more and more popular, I am reminded of the fact that "once upon a time" the NIT (National Invitation Tournament) was at one time the big dance. If you would like to know more about the origins of the NIT and NCAA tournaments you can always visit Wikipedia. This makes me think about how many once popular products, companies, TV shows, events, and people have faded over time. At times, these fades seem to happen very quickly and for no obvious reason.Why do these fades happen? Indifference to CompetitionOver-confidence

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) recently sent out an email which highlights one area where the difference between Republicans and Democrats still remains stark: raising taxes.Congressman Cantor:Before adjourning for recess, House Democrats passed the largest tax-hike in American history; a rate hike that will soak an average of $3,120 from every family. In an economy reeling from a slowing housing and job market, this is a burden that American families and small business owners simply cannot afford.Let's be clear – this Democrat tax hike raises the tax burden of every American, particularly the middle-class. Their budget, which they voted to pass this week, includes the following tax assumptions: * Raises the current "10 percent tax bracket" to 15 percent. This would increase the burden on al

Science fiction writer and a visionary, Sir Arthur C Clarke has passed away at the age of 90 in Sri Lanka.Sir Arthur C. Clarke was a gentleman and a teacher and an avid diver. I had the pleasure of working with him a while ago and learned a lot from him, of all things, about diving!.On the communications front, he envisioned, during the second world war, in a paper he published that, at 22,000 miles above the Earth’s surface, communications satellites would sit in geo-stationary orbit, allowing electronic signals to be bounced off them around the globe and that only three of them needed to cover the globe. His prediction soon came to be true as soon as the first satellite began to orbit the earth.But he was mostly known for his creation, with the legendary film director Stanley Kubrick,

If another star got as close as the Oort cloud, several things could happen. Almost certainly the orbits of quite a number of comets will be disrupted or changed, probably resulting in anincrease in the number of comets entering the inner solar system. If the star is massive enough, itwill disrupt the orbits of some of the planets and Kuiper belt objects as well.The exact results will certainly vary depending on the mass, speed, anddirection of approach of the star. A low mass star just grazing the outer portions of the Oort cloud (which mayextend as much as a light year outward from the Sun) will certainly have much less effect than a20-solar-mass supergiant getting into the inner part of the Oort cloud.

Take a break, enjoy your holidays! Take some time for YOU!!! Make the most of whatever time you have with your families. Know that you are doing something to make a difference in someone's life! My aunt was hospitalized a couple of days ago and is very unhappy that she'll have to be in over the holidays. I know I'm grateful for the terrific nurses who will help her to breath easier!Congress passed the SCHIP renewal and the consolidated funding bill which appropriates $156.05 million for Title VIII nurse workforce development programs. Hurray! This is an increase of $6.4 million over last year's funding. President Bush had suggested cuts of $44 million so this is a real victory. Pres. Bush is expected to sign these bills in the next few days.Congress also sent legislation for President Bush to sign which will delay for at least six months any cuts in Medicare reimbursement to physicians. For the moment, some of the major health care issues seem to be holding their own.

If you're a home owner facing foreclosure or thinking about negotiating a "short-sale" with your lender, Congress just made things a little easier for you. Congress just passed legislation called the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act (HR 3648), which opens up a three-year window during which homeowners who end up in foreclosure or negotiate a short-sale won't have to pay taxes on up to $2M of forgiven debt. The Mortgage Forgivness Debt Relief Act changes the current law, which states that home owners are to be taxed on forgiven debt.

I’m delighted to say that I passed my theory test with flying colours - 39 out of 40 correct . I know the exact question I stumbled on, which was the only one I really had to put any effort into answer.
Q: (Picture of a car in Fog) - What are the road safety issues pictured:
1: Reduced Visability
2: Danger of ‘aquagliding’ due to rain
3: Being dazzled by oncoming drivers headlights
4: Danger of low-hanging branches hitting your car
The green ones are the answers I answered, but on consideration after the exam it could possiblybe the one highlighted in red. It was a bit of a trick question or one of those ’stupid questions’ in my previous post. The image did not show any rain, only fog - therefore there would be no immediate danger of ‘aquagliding’, but instead a danger of being dazzled by oncoming head & fog lights.

It’s with much regret that I write that Kelly Brook’s father, Kenneth has passed away, aged 57, after a long battle with cancer. The Sun reports he died “peacefully at home” on Monday night.
Sources close to Kelly say she’s not sure if she will be able to perform on this Saturday’s show.
This is really sad news and my sympathies go out to the Kelly and her family, and I’m sure all readers of Strictlycomedancing.tv and all Strictly fans join me in this.
Our thoughts are with you.
Sad stuff right here. Thoughts go out to his family and friends. Sometimes the world just sucks. From The Washington Post:
“He did not make it through the night,” said Taylor’s attorney, Richard Sharpstein, who called the incident “a ridiculous, unnecessary tragedy.”
Taylor died “a couple of hours ago” surrounded by some family members, family friend Donald Walker said shortly after 6 a.m. “Things turned for the worse,” Walker said by phone from Taylor’s mother’s house. There “seemed like a lot of hope after he responded to the doctor’s command. But he lost of a lot of blood.”

Despite Dubya's disgraceful attempts to discourage recognition of this important tragedy in history, Congress has done the right thing and has made a positive first step towards recognizing Turkey's mass murder of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915:
A U.S. House committee on Wednesday defied President George W. Bush by passing a resolution calling the 1915 massacre of Armenians genocide, a step the
Well, yesterday was my MAT test and I PASSED! yay!
I am so relieved. I still truly have no idea which questions I got correct and which ones I got incorrect. However, I passed and that is what counts!
You have 60 minutes to finish 120 questions…and I ran out of time around question 80! So, I was sure I had failed… but clearly not!
I am so relieved! For the past week my life has revolved solely around that exam! And now my life can revolve around all the papers I have due this coming week! So, I will know shortly if I have been accepted to the Grad Program, and then the Grad assistantship, and then I have t get my visa organized (yes, the trivial issues of an international student!).
Kevin Smith's horror script for "Red State" has been passed over by The Weinstein Co. after he had turned in a draft a few weeks back. He shared his thoughts on the matter with a very optimistic approach, stating:“It’s the first time Harvey and Bob have passed on anything I’ve wanted to do, but if they were gonna pass on anything, this’d be the one to do it on. The only explanation Michael gives me is ‘Harvey thought it was more of a Bob flick and then Bob didn’t get it. They’d rather just concentrate on ‘Zack and Miri’ at the moment, which we’re all pumped about.’”“Naturally, this makes me wanna make “Red State” even more than I did just prior to that phone call. I get excited thinking about having to raise financing for our hot potato of a flick. This represents a turning point of sorts for Scott and I, inasmuch as everything (with the exception of Mallrats) has been made with the Weinsteins. It might be nice to see if we can get something done without
The 36-year-old beloved attorney, mother and wife passed away today following a bout with breast cancer. She is survived by her husband, Les, and daughter, Summer.These aren’t real people; they’re characters in the daily comic strip “Funky Winkerbean.”But that hasn’t kept Lisa’s illness and death from upsetting a lot of readers.“I cannot look at the strip. It is that depressing,” said Elaine Baumbach, 60, of New Cumberland. “If it catches my eye, right away I feel bad. I fold the paper over as soon as I get to that page.”The strip, written and drawn by Tom Batiuk of Medina, Ohio, has been around since 1972 and runs in about 400 newspapers, including the Patriot-News.And Baumbach is just one of a number of local readers who have complained in recent months about the current cancer storyline, calling it too much of a downer for the proverbial “funny pages.”“There’s nothing funny about [cancer],” said Keith Roth, 79, of Newberry Twp. “It’s sad and serious
