The Contours - First I Look At The Purse (1965)
2008-01-14 09:00:00 The Contours are widely remembered for their 1962 smash "Do You Love Me?," one of the early hits that helped put Motown on the map. Yet they aren't always associated with their contribution to the label; they were one of the roughest, hardest R&B groups Berry Gordy ever signed, and their sound simply didn't resemble the smooth, sophisticated blueprint that later became Motown's trademark. Nor did... [Please Visit the blog for the full post...]
Mitsubishi shows the Concept-RA
2008-01-14 04:39:00 Mitsubishi introduced it's latest concept car today at the NAIAS: the Concept-RA. The Concept-RA most likely previews the next Eclipse - and if so that is a very good thing. The engine is a turbo diesel engine which will make an appearance an appearance in several Mitsubishi products in the short term (expect the Evo engine if this becomes a production vehicle). The drivetrain is lifted directly from the Evo MR - however, note that Mitsubishi again shows us Active Steering and Active Damping Control. These two technologies were shown on the concepts that preceeded the production Evo, but haven't yet gone into production. This move shows us that those technologies are still under development... perhaps a level of Evo higher than the MR will be the recipient one day. Mitsubishi Press Release and images follow: January 13, 2008 -- DETROIT -- Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) and Mitsubishi Motors North America Inc. debut the MITSUBISHI Concept-RA and...

Career Development in the Construction Business
2008-01-12 00:43:00 I have witnessed family friends and two of my Uncles, who are Civil Engineers by profession, hit big in the construction business. What I have noticed though, with the projects pouring and the completion deadlines to meet, they have not given time for their staffs? career development. They seem to have relegated this notion on the back seat and placed more emphasis on accomplishing tasks according to their blue prints. This is a malpractice.There are many things going on in the construction industry that needed to be learned by those whose profession hinge on this. Latest Trade Certifications, Health and Safety Standards and legislations, including career development training are available for the taking for those who would like to advance their careers in this industry. After all, the integrity of any constructed installations is also reflected in the integrity of the company or people who built it. IMO, regardless of the industry, career development of your people or employees ...

Cash Advance Loans: The Convenient Way To Meet Your Financial Emergency Pos
2008-01-09 12:46:00 Cash advance loans are categorized as short-term personal loans and are popular due to their easy terms. The lender makes the loan decisions based on certain criteria that the applicant has to meet. The terms and conditions vary with individual lenders. Direct Cash Now is a leading short-term private lending group offering a helping hand in providing cash advance loans with an easy and efficient approach. A recent study by United College Marketing Services has shown that student credit lines have increased to over $6,000. Credit card usage has tripled since 2001 amongst teenagers as well. Since eighteen year-olds in many countries and most U.S. states are eligible for a card without parental consent or employment, the likelihood of increased balances, unwise use of credit and damaged credit scores increases.

He said he saw Nanay (my mom) looking at old photos of HoneyB (a.k.a. my hubby) and his family. Tatay (my dad) was in a "panic mode" because he's afraid my mom would lose (misplace) those valuable photos. He said my mom told him she just found those in their room (which is not correct because she took it our of the laundr room where I unintentionally left it) He asked me to ask my mom to give it back to me, and this of course offended my mom. Oh, she was very upset with my dad. She said my dad is always afraid that she'd lose stuff. She said Tatay gets angry too easily (which is actually a projection, if you know what I mean).Nanay went upstairs and started washing the dishes while venting away. She said she's tired of Tatay always nagging her. And that my dad always wants to go home, but she didn...

Bill O'Reilly and the Constitution
2008-01-08 05:19:00 You've no doubt heard about and likely seen a video clip of Bill O'Reilly at an Obama rally in Nashua, NH on Sunday. O'Reilly took exception to an Obama staffer who was blocking O'Reilly's camerman's shot of the event. O'Reilly "gently" (O'Reilly's term) pushed the staffer out of the way. I just saw a clip of this on The Factor, and it will likely be all over YouTube soon.There's no doubt that O'Reilly did put his hands on the staffer, and pushed him out of the way. It was certainly not overly violent, but it was physical.What interests me most about this event was O'Reilly's justifcation of his actions. He pushed the Obama staffer out of the way, O'Reilly said on The Factor tonight, because he was standing up for "the Constitution".What part of the Constitution would that be?The First Amendment, and its insistence that Congress make no law abridging "freedom of speech or press"?Well, let's allow that O'Reilly and his camerman were press, and their freedom to vid...

IFBB Pro Dennis James Suing the Conan O'Brien Show
2008-01-06 05:15:00 IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Dennis "The Menace" James Sues 'Conan' For Gifting Him To Clay Aiken For ChristmasConan O'Brien's parent company NBC Universal has just been sued over a Clay Aiken gay joke (Is specifying "gay" joke a waste of typing?). The catch: the suit hasn't been filed by Mr. Aiken. This one comes straight from bodybuilder Dennis "The Menace" James, the Idol also-ran's punchline lust-object.According to the complaint, filed by attorney Steven Sokoloff in Los Angeles Superior Court, O'Brien "showed a Christmas Card which featured the face of 2003 American Idol runner-up, Clay Aiken, smiling on the right side of the card, and the phrase 'All I want this year is a White Christmas' on a fold out flap on the left side of the card. O'Brien then opened the left side of the card to reveal the punch line, '... And a Black Body Builder,' above which was a photograph of Plaintiff posing at the 2004 IFBB Mr. Olympia Competition."Mr. James is suing for, among other things, "...

India back in the contest of Laxman's game
2008-01-03 10:13:00 VVS Laxman finally got India's batting on this Australian tour off the ground, with an enthusiastic and entertaining century, and Rahul Dravid once again battled hard in dour fashion. Dravid spent time in the middle with Laxman but both fell in the dying moments of the second day, handing the initiative back to Australia. The much-needed Indian resistance spanned almost two sessions, but it was Australia who had won the first, pushing their first-innings score to 463 thanks mainly to an unbeaten 162 from Andrew Symonds.Laxman in particular was in a perfect mood, punishing anything that was too straight or too full. His customary elegant wristy play ensured that even deliveries short of a good length were kept down, and the boundaries came all round the park. He did survive one close call for lbw early on against Lee, and was the beneficiary of some fielding largesse, but on a day like this, where he batted with panache against an attack that has dominated India's batsmen, these bl...

The Committee is getting very extreme in three areas such as:the concern about improperly suggesting a specialized field of practice; accolades, such as Super Lawyers; and touting past results and comparisons with other lawyers.When it comes to stating you have received an award such as SuperLawyers (which is nonsense, anyway):the committee has not concluded that a CT lawyer is prohibited from truthfully indicating that he or she has been designated by a lawyer rating system. What they have required is that in connection with any rating system...the ad directs the reader to the statistical data of the collection process. (Se...

That Kawashira-san would spend that expense meant that Alex had been right to arm himself for war back at his penthouse. He just hoped that his assault rifle, armor, and body would hold up against the pounding they were about to take. He had a couple of nasty surprises literally up his sleeves and, if he was lucky, his feigned limp would initially make some of the yakuza soldiers overconfident initially. Alex figured he could use every advantage he could get. Undercity Gotham - part 3

Whither the Conservative Coalition? Economic Anxiety Threatens Its Majority
2007-12-27 04:00:00 What will the right-of-center coalition in American politics look like in five or 10 years? Before considering that, let's consider what it looked like in, say, 1940 and 1980. In 1940, the conservative alternative to FDR was in the minority. It was largely anti-New Deal, somewhat anti-Catholic, pro-domestic free market, pro-protectionist, isolationist in its Midwestern center of gravity (with a more internationalist Northeastern wing). It was strongly opposed to the draft (the August 1940 vote in Congress for the draft had 182 Democrats and only 21 Republicans supporting it. The no vote was 133 Republican, 65 Democratic.) Culturally, particularly in the Midwest, there remained a strong anti-alcohol consumption attitude. By 1980, the newly forming Reagan right-of-center coalition was ready to start winning national elections. The small government, domestic free market component of the coalition remained from the 1940s. A strong libertarian element also became part of the coalition ...
