Barry Bonds is a Liar
2007-11-16 15:55:00 "NOVEMBER 15--Baseball star Barry Bonds was indicted today on perjury and obstruction of justice charges stemming from a years-long federal probe that examined his alleged use of steroids."So Barry finally caught it in the ass - did he really think the feds were going to let him off the hook?How do I feel about all this? I'm not going to giggle gleefully over Barry more than likely going to jail or having his records wiped out; it makes me sad that there are players out there who have such an over-inflated sense of ego and worth that they have to do stuff like steroids. They get to play a great game, get paid well to do it and those things are simply not enough?Hopefully, this investigation will help bring the end to the "Steroid Era" but not the end of cheating. Barry himself is well on his way to the Shoeless Joe Jackson version of baseball immortality.http://feeds.feedburner.com/b logspot/naOQ More About: Liar

NFL fines T.O. $10,000 for waving towel
2007-11-09 23:12:00 "Terrell Owens' latest trip to the end zone came with a price.The flamboyant and controversial Dallas Cowboys wide receiver was fined $10,000 Thursday for violating NFL uniform and equipment rules, according to the Dallas Morning News.After scoring a touchdown in Sunday's 38-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Owens waved a personalized towel on the sideline.Owens told the newspaper that the fine is an example of the league taking the fun out of the game."It's stuff like that," Owens said. "People try to make a big deal out of it. It's not any different than Chad (Johnson) going to the sidelines and taking (out) a coat. All I had was a little towel, and now they want to make that into a big deal."Earlier this season, the Cincinnati Bengals' Johnson drew a $10,000 fine for donning a blazer on the sideline with the words "Future Hall of Fame 20??" on the back.Owens had a monster game against his former team, hauling in 10 catches for 174 yards and a touchdown."If he scores i...

So I'm tired of xmas already
2007-11-09 22:59:00 The out-decorate the neighbors contest has started in my neighborhood. To avoid being miserable, I am hiring somebody to do it for me this year.I hate to sound all scrooge and all, but I am counting the seconds until the holiday season is over. I hate Christmas music, Christmas specials (with the exception of the Grinch) and Christmas shopping (which I am doing by Amazon.com this year). My kids are too old for Santa Claus, and since I am an atheist, the holiday holds no special karma for me either.My second favorite holiday (next to the 4th of July) is coming though: Thanksgiving. Eating and football. My idea of a holiday.http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogs pot/naOQ More About: Tired , Xmas , Tire
How Microsoft knifed its CIO
2007-11-09 17:16:00 The Stuart Scott affair has gotten deeper. The latest wrinkle in the firing of Microsoft 's CIO? A source close to Scott now claims that he was indeed on leave at the time of his dismissal -- because of his sister's death. Scott was traveling to her funeral when the news broke. "Microsoft seems to have arranged the news for maximum embarrassment and pain for him -- it's not so time sensitive that they can't take more than a month reviewing things, but they have to leak it when he's got a death in the family?" writes our tipster. If true, I worry for Microsoft's future. Top managers in Redmond really have time to plot such elaborate set-piece humiliations of straying executives? If they put this kind of energy into Web search, Google might actually be worried.http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogs pot/naOQ
Bitch-Slapped by Google
2007-11-08 16:56:00 Well it appears like many others, I have been bitch-slapped by the new Google Page Rank adjustment. I went from a PR4 to nothing - which is were I began. I don't feel like I have lost much, links to my site and traffic have gone up in spite of my recent "demotion" by the Gods@google.com. So what to do? Nothing really, as John Chow points out, "The only thing Google has done is make link sellers come up with a new pricing system that won’t include PageRank." As Courtney Tuttle points out, if Google wants to make PageRank irrelevant, they are doing a fine job.Those who don't have anything to lose can do whatever they want. I am one of them now.

Research indicates dogs have some ability to read minds (11/7/2007)
2007-11-07 15:20:00 Dog owners who think their beloved pooch can read their mind may be right.Canterbury University psychology student Michelle Maginnity has just completed a masters research project looking at whether the domestic dog has a theory of mind - that is, whether they can think about the thoughts and feelings of self and others.She said after carrying out a range of experiments which tested the cognitive skills of dogs, she believed they were not only sensitive to human cues, but also had the ability to think about what their human companions may be thinking."So, in a way, dogs may be able to read minds," she said.Michelle's research involved testing the social-cognitive skills of 16 dogs, some pure bred and others of mixed breed, in a food-finding task. In four different experiments the dogs had to decide where the food was hidden by following cues from people who either did or didn't know where the food was.http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/ naOQ More About: Dogs , Research , Read , Minds , Indica

"This is a man that hangs on to his money," she said. "He wouldn't be as rich if he didn't."Who needs that kind of money? I'm still keeping quiet about the total truth, giving him a chance to help us move on and get out of this awful situation."I want the freedom to be able to tell my story should I need to defend myself.

Your Fellow Blogger is Not a Competitor
2007-11-05 18:54:00 Do you ever feel jealous that another blogger in your niche is getting more readers than you? Or perhaps you believe that you deserve more attention then him or her. After all, you think their content isn’t nearly as good as yours.But there’s no reason to feel that they are your competition, especially if they are only providing free content to generate income.Both of you are not selling products or services that would be rendered useless, once a customer has decided to make a purchase from a specific source.Most blogs create content to attract audiences in return for monetization via ad revenue or affiliate recommendations. Readers follow these blogs because they give them the information or entertainment they need.

Ten Reasons Gay Marriage is Un-American
2007-10-23 15:36:00 Being gay is not natural. Real American s always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds ofcrazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a doghas legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn'tchanged at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marrywhites, and divorce is still illegal. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriagewere allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-funmarriage would be destroyed. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed tomarry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs morechildren. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since s... More About: Marriage , Gay Marriage , Reasons

Lasts Too Long?
2007-10-18 17:25:00 You just can't dream up comedy better than this:"DEAR MARGO: Many women complain that their husbands don't last very long in bed. I wish I had that problem. I've been married eight years to a wonderful guy -- but my problem is that he lasts too long in bed (typically two hours).According to him, he's always been this way. By the end of sex, my back aches, my shoulders throb, and, frankly, I'm bored out of my mind. Marathon sex sessions might sound good, but in actuality they're anything but.I spend the last hour of our "relations" thinking, "For the love of God, just hurry up." Afterward, I hurt for days and only get by with disposable heat packs and tons of Tylenol. Every time he approaches me, I mentally catalog what I have to do for the next week to see if I can afford to be "hobbled."We've tried taking breaks during, or new positions, but nothing speeds him up. He's commented that he's turned a lot of women away from sex (I can see why) and he's so glad it hasn't happ... More About: Long
Dear Texas Rangers (Baseball Team)
2007-10-16 16:39:00 Colorado is going to the World Series. What does that mean to you? It should serve as a wake-up call that you are the most mis-managed team in baseball. Team s that were in the dumps less than five years ago (i.e. Detroit, Florida and the aforementioned Colorado Rockies) have all gone to the World Series before you. How does this happen? It happens because the ownership and management of you are not committed to winning. They trade away your best young players, they bring in old, tired re-treads to play for them in the interest of selling tickets, and they show no interest in the main goal of having a team in the first place: winning a championship.(I guess the old excuse of "no pitcher wants to pitch in Texas because it is a hitter's park" is out the window now that Colorado, the park so high above sea-level you can float a ball over the center field with a badminton racket, is going to the big show.)Mark it down: Washington Nationals will go to the World Series before you wil...

A-Rod Maybe Worth $1 Billion
2007-10-12 15:43:00 Scott Boras, the high-powered agent for several stars including Yankees third-baseman Alex Rodriguez, is already pushing up his asking price should A-Rod decide to opt out of his contract.As CNBC's Darren Rovell reported yesterday on his sports business blog, Boras believes A-Rod is worth at least $500 million over the next 10 years. That's almost double his current $252 million deal, which was signed after the 2000 season and remains the most expensive in baseball history.http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogs pot/naOQ More About: Worth , Wort , Billion

Madonna to Record Industry: SUCK IT
2007-10-11 19:59:00 Pop star Madonna is close to leaving her long-time Warner Bros. Record s label for a wide-ranging $US120 million (A$134 million) deal with concert promotion firm Live Nation, a source familiar with the talks said on Wednesday.The story was first reported on the Wall Street Journal's website, which said Madonna would receive a mix of cash and stock in exchange for allowing Live Nation to distribute three studio albums, promote concert tours, sell merchandise and license her name.Such a deal is virtually unprecedented, but may become more common as struggling record labels and other players in the music industry seek to shore up revenues by going into business with musical acts, rather than just taking fees for selling their albums or concert tickets.A Live Nation spokesman declined comment. A source familiar with Warner confirmed the basic details of the report.The 49-year-old singer has recorded for the Warner Music Group-owned label her entire career, stretching back to her 1983 se...

Die, Die, Die Filthy Resume, DIE!!!!!
2007-10-09 19:39:00 I started a new job about a month ago and I reminded myself today to update my resume with my new company, title, etc. As I was doing this, it dawned on me: My resume sucks. It sucks in that while it has all the nice information about my work skills and the like, it really does not say much about me, the person. Evidentially, there are others that feel as I do and have taken the approach of making a new type of resume called a "social media biography". These pages contain some of the same old "boring" work-related stuff, but also have a unique things like:del.icio.us portfolio page, with links to some of blog posts A pointer to their LinkedIn profile, A headshot, Links to Flickr photos, Twitter messages, and Facebook profileHere is an example of a good one.I like this idea. The traditional resume just doesn't have the bandwidth that one on the Internet can handle. I wonder if someone shouldn't start a company for this?http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot /naOQ More About: Resume
