Vick Given Another Chance..........

Ex-NFL star Vick completes dogfight sentence They have reinstated him in the NFL, but at the present he is without a team. It is going to be very hard for him to find a team that will hire him, based on the severity of his crime. He realizes he has committed a crime, and he also has lost many things during this time he was in jail. Being given a second chance is something not many athletes are given. Let's hope he does better than that team member of the Cowboys, who was given a second chance only to bungle it as well.

Fenphedra

I went to this website to check out this diet pill and found that they considered it not the safest diet pill, because of the high caffeine content, but told that it was still a good pill for the money. If you can find Fenphedra then your doing well, since it seems that availability, is slim. This website also offers free shipping with all orders over $75, which would be easy to add up if you buy more than one product from them. I suppose that if your really interested in loosing weight, then you won't mind spending the money.

Job Seekers Giving Up.........

Nearly half of the job seekers who have stopped looking for work have done so because they simply don't believe they'll find anything. Indeed, the number of discouraged workers nationwide has more than doubled in the past year. This trend won't be reflected in the widely publicized unemployment rate, as discouraged workers aren't included among the unemployed. Workers who have stopped because they're discouraged, make up a group that the Labor Department calls the "marginally attached." They're included in some of the broader measures of unemployment, but they're officially not part of the workforce. While discouraged workers make up about a third of the marginally attached nationwide, their numbers have been increasing.

Motorcycle Accident..........

The roads are treacherous for any traveler, but for the motorcycle riders, it's even worse. You never can be too safe, when on a cycle, because you can get clipped by a passing motorist and most times it ends in tragedy. In California, there are many local cycle clubs and they have needed a Oakland motorcycle accident lawyer at times. If you, a family member or friend have experienced a motorcycle accident, it may be necessary to get the legal assistance for your case. This lawyer rides a bike and has for many years. He knows the dangers that you face on the roads, so he can readily assemble you defense to help you in court.

Two U.S. defense officials confirmed to The Associated Press that the man in the video is the captured soldier.

Water Pond.........

I've been wanting to have a small pond installed in my yard, to put goldfish in. I've hesitated, because of the weather, and my finances have held me back as well. This website I found has all the different supplies to help you get started and maintain your pond. Not only do the offer you the pond supplies for a small pond, but they also have larger scale supplies, that can service your farm pond, or aeration of a small lake area. Fountains always look so lovely in the middle of a pond or lagoon. I would hope I could have a small one, that would aerate my goldfish pond.

US Marines search for roadside bombs in Afghanistan's Helmand province on July 13. Several years back I worked at a local company that built metal detectors. Back then they were made to use looking for coins or pipes in the ground. I truly believe that this is a better use for these detectors, if they can save our soldiers lives.

New Sanctions.........

There was international condemnation after North Korea fired a Unha-2 rocket in April 2009. The South Korean cable news channel YTN has reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has cancer and may not live more than five years.
A U.N. Security Council panel imposed new sanctions Thursday against North Korean officials and companies aimed at curbing the nation's nuclear defiance. The designations need no further approval and are effective immediately. The panel banned nations from selling North Korea two types of goods used in ballistic missile parts: graphite designed or specified for use in electrical discharge machining; and para-aramid fiber, filament and tape, which is a Kevlar-like material.

Britain's People Speak Out.........

A British police <span class=
A British police officer gestures to the anti-war protesters to move away from the gate as they demonstrate outside Downing Street in London calling for British troops to be withdrawn from Afghanistan, Monday, July 13, 2009. Britain lost eight soldiers within a 24 hour period that ended Friday last week and pushed Britain's overall death toll in Afghanistan to 184. This looks familiar, wouldn't you say? The American people have done this type of thing time and time again. I wonder if they will accomplish anymore than the American's did? No one wants lives to be wasted. It's a term of war that all people throughout the world have come to acknowledge.

Who Controls Who.........

If you've ever wondered who's in control, you or your cat, a new study points to the obvious. It's your cat.

Household cats exercise this control with a certain type of urgent-sounding, high-pitched meow, according to the findings.

This meow is actually a purr mixed with a high-pitched cry. While people usually think of cat purring as a sign of happiness, some cats make this purr-cry sound when they want to be fed. The study showed that humans find these mixed calls annoying and difficult to ignore.

This is my pain in the backside, and he definitely knows how to push his weight around, where I'm concerned. I really do alot of chasing and scolding to this little imp. He trys his very best and gets right up under my skin.

Weight Loss Man vs Woman

They say that weight problems are mostly a woman's
heredity or thing. There are more articles that
contradict that idea and suggest that there are
as many obese men as women.  The weight loss site 
that tells about this is located at
http://www.web-articles.info/e/s/s/Weight-loss/
and give an update on all the different idea's that
are associated with this article. There are actually
more overweight men in the US than overweight women.
There are several factors that undoubtedly account
for the difference, the gender gap when it comes
to self-assessment, that may play an important role.
Guys that do take a good look at their bodies they
see themselves as big rather than overweight.
Women look in the mirror that men and women are more
accurate in assessing the status of their weight.
Men’s ability to assess their weight status is less
finely tuned than women’s. Our society values
thinness in women and it's no secret that there
aren't many magazines show over weight women at
popular. We know that being underweight also carries
health risks. A woman who is already at a healthy
weight may feel the need to lose weight.  This
isn't necessarily so,according to some doctor's.
This is particularly true for young and middle-aged
women, who are often more likely to consider
themselves overweight even when their weight is
within the recommended range. In other words men
don't consider themselves obese when women look
at themselves at fat.

Bodies Wash Ashore........

Police officers and local officials transfer a body believed to be that of a passenger aboard the Yemenia Airbus 310-300 onto a vehicle on Mafia island July 8, 2009. Tanzanian authorities have spotted some 13 bodies believed to be from the Yemeni airliner that crashed into the sea off the Indian Ocean archipelago of Comoros last week, an official said on Tuesday. Thirteen bodies, a plane seat and a piece of metal stamped "Airbus" washed ashore in Tanzania and French investigators were trying to determine Wednesday if they were linked to the Yemenia Airways plane crash hundreds of miles away.

Ephedra

Certain types of this product have been banned on the market, because it can be lethal. The laboratories are developing the nuphedra to take it's place. It seems that it's still not very safe to use ephedra, so they are trying to find a different product that will take it's place and still give great weight loss. Certain forms of ephedra are still safe, when taken in a safe dosage, but can cause the body to become too warm resulting in unsafe levels of heat. Get more information on products that involve this drug, for your safety.

Who Cares?

I've lived through this crap, many times and I still can't see how they can forget all the things that this person did? If child molestation is not a crime, then I don't know what is. It's just like OJ getting away with his crime for so many years. Sooner or later your sins will find you out........that's just the way life is........what goes around comes around! If you do wrong, it surly will come back to haunt you. I can't prove that Jackson did this crime, but where's there's smoke there usually fire. Good lawyers can only do so much..........I was wondering how he slept at night..........now we know!

Honduras Starting Another Mess

Supporters of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya gather ...
Supporters of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya gather near the presidential residence in Tegucigalpa, Tuesday, June 30, 2009. The U.N. General Assembly demanded the immediate restoration of Zelaya but Honduras' congressional leader Roberto Micheletti, whom Congress appointed president last Sunday, said Zelaya could be arrested if he returns home. The sign reads in Spanish: 'Out Gorilettis! Mel, the real president', referring to congressional leader Roberto Micheletti, whom Congress appointed president last Sunday, and to his supporters. Mel is Zelaya's nickname. It's just one after the other, fighting and waring with each other. I'm an American, who's tired of all these different countries, pulling us into their problems and causing our money to go to help the one's who don't give a rats about us in the first place...........
