America's space agency was shaken Thursday by two startling and unrelated reports: One involved claims that astronauts were drunk before flying. The other was news from NASA itself that a worker had sabotaged a computer set for delivery to the international space station.
It was just another jolt for an operation that has had a rocky year from the start, beginning with the arrest of an astronaut accused of attacking a rival in a love triangle.
"It's going to shake up the world, I'll tell you that," retired NASA executive Seymour Himmel said of the latest news. "There will be congressional hearings that you will not be able to avoid."
News of the two latest bombshells broke within just a few hours of each other Thursday afternoon.
Aviation Week & Space Technology reported on its Web site that a special panel studying astronaut health found that on two occasions, astronauts were allowed to fly after flight surgeons and other astronauts warned they were so drunk they posed a safety risk.
The independent panel also found "heavy use of alcohol" before launch — within the standard 12-hour "bottle-to-throttle" rule, the magazine reported.
A NASA official confirmed the report contains such details, but said they were from anonymous interviews and not substantiated. The official asked that his name not be used because NASA will discuss the health report on Friday.
The Aviation Week story did not say how long ago the alleged incidents took place, nor did it say whether it involved pilots or other crew members.
At a news conference to discuss the upcoming space shuttle launch set for Aug. 7, NASA's space operations chief was asked repeatedly about the drunken astronaut report.
The manager, Bill Gerstenmaier, would only say that he had never seen an intoxicated astronaut before flight or been involved in any disciplinary action related to that.
But Gerstenmaier had more news. He revealed that an employee for a NASA subcontractor had cut the wires in a computer that was about to be loaded into the shuttle Endeavour for launch.
The subcontractor, which he wouldn't name, contacted NASA 1 1/2 weeks ago, as soon as it learned that another computer had been damaged deliberately, Gerstenmaier said. Had the contractor not discovered the problem, NASA would have uncovered it by testing the computer before launch, Gerstenmaier said. Safety was not an issue, he added.
He refused to speculate on the worker's motive. He also wouldn't say where the sabotage occurred. He said it did not happen in Florida and had nothing to do with an ongoing strike at the Kennedy Space Center by a machinists' union.
NASA hopes to fix the computer in time for launch next month. It's intended to be installed inside the space station to collect data from strain gauges on a major outside beam.
Former shuttle commander Eileen Collins was as stunned as anyone to learn of the astronaut alcohol claims in the upcoming health report.
"I'm anxious to hear more details because this is very out of character from anything I have ever experienced," she said.
Collins worries this will hurt the image of the astronauts, at least in the short term. "I hope people can really look at the good things astronauts do," she said.
Astronaut Jeffrey Williams, who spent six months on the space station last year, said he's never seen or heard of anything like this. As for the effect this may have on astronaut morale, especially so close to a shuttle flight, he said, "We're trained to deal with things so we deal with them without much emotion."
Himmel, who retired in 1981 as associate director for what is now Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, wasn't surprised to learn the information was anonymous.
"Let's face it. Astronauts are a bunch of brothers and sisters, OK, and they'll cover each other's backsides because they're part of the team," he said. "And who knows what the role of the particular ones was to be. If he was just to sit in the middle seat somewhere and just be a passenger, you kind of say, 'Well, gee, I hope he doesn't vomit on the way up.'"
The independent panel reviewing astronaut health and NASA's psychological screening process was created following the arrest in February of former space shuttle flier Lisa Nowak. None of the panel members returned phone calls or e-mails from The Associated Press.
Nowak is accused of attacking the girlfriend of a fellow astronaut — her romantic rival — with pepper spray in a parking lot at Orlando International Airport. Fired by NASA in March, she has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted kidnapping, battery and burglary with assault.
The scandal was followed by a freak hailstorm that tore into a space shuttle on the launch pad that set back the year's flight schedule. Then there was a shooting at Johnson Space Center in Houston by an employee who ultimately killed himself.
Himmel questions whether any screening or rules could weed out astronauts like Nowak. "I have personal friends who are psychiatrists and they say, 'Look, we don't know what the hell goes on and you can't really evaluate somebody overnight,'" he said.
As for astronauts who might overindulge before flight, if they're former fighter or test pilots, "it's a pretty hard-living bunch and it's a very emotionally intense thing," Himmel said. He said an old NASA colleague who worked closely with test pilots once told him, "Some of these guys are damn near on a razor's edge when they fly and in their home lives.
"The thing is that no matter how hard anybody tries, or no matter what system you devise to preclude something, there's always somebody who will find a way to louse it up," Himmel said. "There's no perfect system."

NFL stud Matt Leinart has scored himself another high profile job -- but TMZ has learned the pretty boy QB is busting his ass to make sure his new Hollywood gig doesn't interfere with his daddy duties.
A spy on the L.A. set of a new Adam Sandler project has confirmed that Leinart landed an acting role in the untitled flick, featuring "Scary Movie" star Anna Faris. While sources claim Leinart is serious about the part, we're told that he's only shooting on days he's not scheduled to visit his 9-month-old son with baby mama Brynn Cameron, and when he's free from any football obligations with the Arizona Cardinals. But according to Brynn, Leinart's "Hollywood stuff" is taking his focus away from being a good parent, as she complained to the Ventura County Star, "It's kind of hard for me as the mom ... he comes and goes whenever he wants."
When contacted by TMZ, Leinart's rep wouldn't talk about the movie, but assured the Cardinal faithful that "Matt is focused right now on his way to training camp. He has a job to do with the Arizona Cardinals. That's all we have to say about that."
As TMZ first reported, Leinart is embroiled in a nasty legal battle with his Cameron, who is asking for more than $30K a month in child support from the $50 million-contract jock.

CelebPoker player Cort Kibler-Melby walked away from the recent 2007 WSOP Event in Las Vegas as the highest ranking European and nearly $100,000 richer.
London, UK (PRWEB) July 27, 2007 -- The Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas was the venue for the 49th leg of the 2007 World Series of Poker and the final $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event on this year's schedule. With a turnout of 3,151 players, the occasion became the largest, non-main event, tournament in World Series of Poker history.
The tournament, which ran from June 30th to July 2nd, ranked as the third largest live poker tournament of all time with only the WSOP main events of 2005 and 2006 attracting more players. This was also the busiest day in WSOP history in terms of total number of tournament entries within a 24-hour period.
As a consequence, many new names registered themselves on the final leader board. In fact, of the top 324 finishers who made it into the money, only two players had previously won a WSOP gold bracelet and neither of these made it onto the final table.
One of these new names was CelebPoker player Cort Kibler-Melby. After battling through qualifying, he took his seat on the final table ... an outstanding achievement considering the level of competition and quality of poker being played. Kibler-Melby eventually finished in sixth place behind eventual winner Ghandrasekhar Billavara from California, who took home a cheque for a cool $722,914 after five hours of intense play. Kibler-Melby was delighted with his work, and his cheque for $96,755, and is now aiming to take Europe by storm and continue to fly the flag for CelebPoker.
Dave Donovan, CelebPoker CEO, said:
"We are so excited about Cort's achievement and really pleased for him. It is another clear indication of the calibre of poker player that CelebPoker is associated with. We have some of the best online, and live tournament, players in the world as part of the CelebPoker network. Cort is a tremendous player and a fantastic ambassador for our company… we wish him well as he targets the WSOP Europe Event, in London, this September."

If your friends and family get fat, chances are you will too, researchers report in a startling new study that suggests obesity is "socially contagious" and can spread easily from person to person.
The large, federally funded study found that to be true even if your loved ones lived far away. Social ties seemed to play a surprisingly strong role, even more than genes are known to do.
"We were stunned to find that friends who are hundreds of miles away have just as much impact on a person's weight status as friends who are right next door," said co-author James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego.
The study found a person's chances of becoming obese went up 57 percent if a friend did, 40 percent if a sibling did and 37 percent if a spouse did. In the closest friendships, the risk almost tripled.
Researchers think it's more than just people with similar eating and exercise habits hanging out together. Instead, it may be that having relatives and friends who become obese changes one's idea of what is an acceptable weight.
Despite their findings, the researchers said people should not sever their relationships.
"There is a ton of research that suggest that having more friends makes you healthier," Fowler said. "So the last thing that you want to do is get rid of any of your friends."
The study was published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine and funded by the National Institute on Aging.
Researchers analyzed medical records of people in the Framingham Heart Study, which has been following the health of residents of that Boston suburb for more than a half century. They tracked records for relatives and friends using contact information that participants provided each time they were examined over a 32-year period.
In all, 12,067 people — all Framingham participants — were involved in the study.
After taking into account natural weight gain and other factors, researchers found the greatest influence occurred among friends and not in people sharing the same genes or living in the same household. Geography and smoking cessation had no effect on obesity risk.
On average, the researchers calculated, when an obese person gained 17 pounds, the corresponding friend put on an extra 5 pounds.
Gender also had a strong influence. In same-sex friendships, a person's obesity risk increased by 71 percent if a friend gained weight. Between brothers, the risk was up by 44 percent and 67 percent between sisters.
Indiana University statistician Stan Wasserman said while the study was clever, it had its limitations because it excluded relationships outside of the Framingham group.
Obesity is a global public health problem. About 1.5 billion adults worldwide are overweight, including more than 400 million who are obese. Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese.
Much of the recent research focus has been on the intense hunt for obesity genes involved in appetite or calorie burning. Treatment has been mainly centered on helping individuals curb their weight through better diet and fitness.
The findings could open a new avenue for treating this worldwide epidemic. The researchers said it might be helpful to treat obese people in groups instead of just the individual.
"Because people are interconnected, their health is interconnected," said lead author Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a Harvard sociologist.
Obesity experts not involved in the research said the results back up what they have suspected all along — that people look toward one another for what is an acceptable weight.
"If you're just a little bit heavy and everyone around you is quite heavier, you will feel good when you look in a mirror," said Dr. David Katz, director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center.

Note to Lindsay Lohan -- there's hope. Christian Slater is walking proof.
TMZ cameras spotted Slater outside of Koi last night, where he talked to our cameraman about the troubled Lohan, saying he's "Been there!" Slater, who co-starred with Lilo in "Bobby" last year, definitely feels Lindsay's pain -- having been popped for a DUI before his 21st birthday, followed by a string of other arrests and a short stint behind bars.
The talkative "Heathers" star told TMZ as he waited for the valet, "I certainty can't judge ... I support her a million percent, it's not an easy deal, not an easy town." Once his troubles settled, Slater went on to star in the critically acclaimed "Alone in the Dark" with Tara Reid and "Hollow Man 2," but they say you've gotta hit rock bottom before you can get better, right?
Cops say that Lindsay Lohan was reeking of booze -- and had powder in her pocket -- when they arrested her on Tuesday for DUI, but was she actually driving the car she's accused of driving?
Her uncle, Chris Sullivan, tells the New York Post that she "may well not have been driving the car," and "hopefully the truth will come out." Sullivan calls Tarin Graham, Lindsay's former assistant embroiled in the incident, "a problem individual and Lindsay was trying to help her out," however, Sullivan offered no alternate explanation.
Meanwhile, former "Laguna Beach" star Jessica Smith -- herself a DUI chargee -- tells 24Sizzler.com that LiLo "deserves whatever punishment she gets," and that it would be "ridiculous" for Lohan to get special treatment. Speaking of treatment, Page Six conjures the curse of Cooperman -- Dori Cooperman, that is -- the New York socialite who's been conspicuously spotted partying with Tara Reid, Lizzie Grubman, and now Lindsay just before they got into various forms of trouble.
Paris Does Another Dog
Paris Hilton has plenty of dogs in her life -- and just got another one, reports People, when she snapped up a Chihuahua at Pets of Bel Air yesterday. The store is the same place where Britney Spears got her $3,000 Yorkie/hand accessory a couple weeks back. Lest we forget, Paris herself bought a Yorkie that she called Cinderella, and another Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, and used to have a kinkajou called Baby Luv, until she had to give it up.
Will Britney Spears Marry Michael Jackson?
If you believe in Brit, you can bet on Brit. Gambling website WagerWeb.com has seventeen different bets on what will happen to Britney Spears. The biggest payoffs include wagers on whether Britney will be "permanently moving out of the country" or "end up requesting asylum on Hollywood Squares."
Want better odds? You'll be safer putting your money down on Britney being arrested for DUI or coming out as a lesbian. Place your bets, y'all.
Party Favors: Oprah Five-Times Simon ... Jacko Plays at Air & Space, Avoids Depo
Not that you might've wondered, but Oprah Winfrey is the biggest earner in TV -- again -- pulling in an estimated $260 million a year, according to TV Guide. The next highest haul? Simon Cowell, with a relatively meager $45 million. ... Michael Jackson was supposed to be in L.A. last week for depositions, but was actually in Virginia doing some sightseeing, reports FOX News. He's being sued by his former manager.
UPDATE: TMZ has confirmed that Mindy McCready is now in police custody. She was arrested at the Nashville International Airport moments ago. Airport Police and Williamson County Sheriff's Deputies arrested her after she got off a Southwest Airlines flight. Let's hope she was in Group C!
Police in Tennessee are on the lookout for a former country singer with a huge gash on her face, after a warrant was issued for her arrest earlier today.
Cops tell TMZ that Mindy McCready violated her probation when she was arrested in Florida on charges of battery and resisting arrest, after allegedly getting into it with her moms ... and then cops. McCready was sentenced to probation in 2004 after being convicted on a prescription drug fraud charge.
In the order, filed in Williamson County, Tenn. in November of 2004, Mindy was ordered to serve three years probation -- meaning she only had a few months left to go.

With conflicting reports as to whether or not Gummi Bear is in some sort of outpatient treatment facility, TMZ has determined the whereabouts of the bear -- and learned that the voluptuously plump oil prince has been holed up at a Beverly Hills donut shop! Self medicating, perhaps?!
TMZ spies spotted Gummi, human name Jason Davis, with a male friend at gourmet donut shop Frittelli's on Wednesday -- in Gummiworld it's always time to make the doughnuts! And in a story right out of Ripley's Believe It or Not, we're told the Gumster actually looked "much thinner." Has he sworn off kegs as well?! We're also told the clumsy bear was sporting a dark suit and a HUGE scab on his forehead. Fall out of a cake?
Sources tell us GB ordered a caramel frappuccino and said, "I'm gonna look at the doughnuts, but not touch. I'm trying to be good." In a related story, hell froze over today!
Rev. Al Sharpton is going to the dogs ... and by dogs, of course, we mean bitches.
Sharpton has turned his attention from celebrity news websites and is lending his voice to a crusade against ... dogfighting? Sharpton and hip-hop honcho Russell Simmons teamed up with PETA to send an open letter to all corporate sponsors of alleged dog fight creep Michael Vick, as well as to the Commissioner of the NFL. PETA picketed New York's Niketown store today.
In their letter, Sharpton and Simmons proclaim, "Hurting animals for human pleasure or gain is despicable ... Our battle must extend to those innocent animals who literally have no voice or choice."
Oh, really, Al? The good Rev was nowhere to be seen last summer, when Beyonce Knowles -- whom he strenuously defended when we called her outfit "roboho" -- was exposed by a PETA ambush for using the fur of smaller "innocent animals" in her fashion line. The confrontation during a lunch at Nobu, was caught on video and obtained exclusively by TMZ.
Rev. Al got right back to us when we asked for comment, pointing out that he joined PETA last year in protesting chicken industry practices: "Whether I or a person agree or disagree on a social issue, it does not entitle that
person or their attire to be referred to in a misogynistic manner."

Playing poker while watching baseball could be a multitasking nightmare for some, but the boys at PlayersOnly.com are mastering the art of poker between pitches in free-roll poker tournaments held every Saturday during MLB baseball broadcasts. Grand prize is a trip to the World Series.
St John's, Antigua (PRWEB) July 26, 2007 -- Playing poker and watching baseball on TV simultaneously could be a multitasking nightmare for some couch potatoes, but the boys at PlayersOnly.com are mastering the art of poker between pitches. The grand prize winner of the Fox Baseball World Series Free Roll Tournaments will win an all expense paid trip to the World Series this fall. Free roll qualifiers began last weekend and continue this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST -- just as Fox Television broadcasts Saturday afternoon games.
The top 10 players in this weekend's free roll will advance to the Fox Baseball World Series Tournament Final on September 22nd. Those that don't win their way to the final table can buy into the $50.00 + $5.00 buy-in freeze-out tourney. Tournament details are posted here: http://www.playersonly.com/poker/free-roll.
"We've always got tournaments happening. Tournaments are a great way to get poker experience," said PlayersOnly.com Manager David Anderson. "All you risk is the buy-in fee -- so in a free roll you risk nothing. Everyone starts with the same stack of chips. And you play until one player has them all."
This Saturday and every Saturday this summer, players will start with 1,500 chips and advance through 8-minute levels. The top ten players -- the Final Table -- will automatically win a seat at the Grand Final Tournament on September 22nd. The winner of the Grand Final tournament will receive a deluxe travel package to attend the World Series including two box seats to Game 1, first class air for two, hotel suite and limo to and from stadium. The runner-up will receive two field level seats, coach air for two, a standard hotel room and limo to and from stadium. The Third Place player can watch the game from home on his new Proton 37" LCD TV.
For those extreme multitaskers that can play poker, watch TV and predict who'll take the pennant this fall, as of today the PlayersOnly.com Sportsbook favors the Detroit Tigers at 7-2 to win the World Series, followed by the Boston Red Sox at 4-1, the New York Mets at 6-1 and the Los Angeles Angels at 8-1.
In the recently re-designed PlayersOnly site, players enter the trendy, up-scale Poker Room, Sportsbook or Casino from the sexy, ultra-realistic Main Lobby where they're greeted by site host Carrie Stroup and the ladies of PlayersOnly.
In addition to this Saturday tournament series, PlayersOnly.com is also presenting a Sunday free roll series where the winner will play in the WPT in Turks & Caicos. WPT Turks & Caicos satellites are held every Sunday.
PlayersOnly.com will award more than $25,000 in cash and prizes during this summer's online poker free roll tournaments.

My Favorite Spam e-mail of the day
I don’t know about you but I am consistently getting spam e-mail. Some of these e-mails totally crack me up. I’ve decided to post my favorite spam e-mail daily.
The heavy bandwagon reigns inside a caffeine. The complete sigh noses the criminal with an extremist model. The deciding apathy mocks your oxygen. The snobbery stops an added creator on top of the chap. The exact exit jokes after a whatever nurse. The hope multiplies in the outline. Why can't a scarf skip below the sounded gown? The addict persists with the supporter. How will the motor camp outside the scaled gnome? Past a rack trails the refreshed sample. The requisite conflict exits under the quota. Above the delicious detective pales the sixteen lark. A compound pops on top of the powder. An atom moans. The sacred love launches the bandwidth around the mod drawback. Next to the scarce asset enters the immortal grace. Can a collar spike a member? Each moron insults the mixture in the dumped shadow.
The disclaimer poses around the mathematician! Why can't the clause screw the dirt loophole? Across whatever romance pocket abides the retirement whistle. The real husband starves beneath the immense burst. Why does an entitled synonym dodge beneath a monster? The differential rests below the fuller. The whale advances against a treasure! The recorder passes each buried colleague below any parameter. Why does a terror fear outside a surprising expenditure? Any cozy cave errs opposite the success. Your brief dive profiles the parameter. The official bicycles. The stark combat screens the ideal. The music cruises. The revenue orbits throughout a radical. The successor boils. A striking representative diverts a diet story. The rack pulses over the foreigner! The void perceives a similar collective. Will the numeral chalk behind a combining ingredient? His bucket experiments without the astronomy.
Poker integrates the height below the efficient reactor. The famine locates poker over the thirty matrix. The idea scores. Why can't the terrorist attack poker? Poker works under this computer. Without poker beams a zero. When can a deterrent desert trigger poker? Can a vowel gossip with poker? Poker tortures the overlong coke in the minor curtain. The cigarette tutors the fighter. Poker asks a sun. Poker seats the visitor before an aging narrative. Poker exits throughout a narrow cartridge. How can a puzzled intellectual moan within his page? How can poker leap into a lifetime? The soundtrack prejudices poker after the invalid.
The incorporated skin starves. A hypocritical breach signs the throughput. The partial etymology strikes a mathematics. The hearing divorce towers over the bay design. The mystery tanks the soup. The pregnant dominant breezes inside the rectangular accountant. The compromise silvers the tear. A snobbery suspects! The axis acquires the noble before the aware catholic. Can the combined debt scream next to the urge? Will the hearing famine exercise in a color? A companion splits the faucet beneath the determining bean. The astronomy finishes with a lyric! How can the dimensional human jerk the marginal blackboard? The state drip sneaks beneath the urgent sketch. The trouser toys with this rage. How can a divine equip the ample noun? Should the constraining luck ignore the internal puzzle? Beside its breeding sore malfunctions the sordid counterexample. The hurt trend abides underneath a dread. Under the tough protocol worries a distracted producer. The thumb stops within the face. A decay inhabits a galaxy under an enlarged explosive. The traveled rear eats a definitive turnround. A preserved gift jams. The mortal standardizes the initiate.
Without a crunch smells a sent mug. The inhibiting contest collapses throughout a burned lip. The distorted skeleton stamps in the microwave. Beside the continental resides the orthodox animal. The sexist marches. An indicative disturbance files a signal. When will the short space refuse the across pool? A neighborhood foams. Any disgusted sphere witnesses a planetary symbol. The ironic mechanic composes within the leaved mount. The cold offers the same libel. The summer devil isolates his lisp. When will a handful puzzle? Above the friend scores the inevitable wisdom. The mate wins the tone. Should the bold bean craft the subsidized home? The aspect reclaims an analyst opposite its standard moron. The accustomed pitfall errs underneath the idiom. An ethical spy tosses a maze around the bound territory. A knee lusts for the baffled fume opposite a citizen. The fewest alphabet argues in a salt ancestor. A foreseeable victory sickens. The cheese scores. How will the improbable design tower over a tall squeeze? Behind the pump results the remembered independence. Each researcher companions a manifesto. A departmental pro works the jammed wrap. When can the standard bond consent in the pain? The virus tames the fan. A happier terminology fumes throughout its raving contest. A shocking cloud spikes an ethic. The dog belts a sister photo into the dash. This rat chooses after his warehouse. Over a tip stamps the confusing sketch. When can the flood pool the play borderline? The deserted oriental weds a tip. When will the men's inertia pose the holiday? A homosexual gossips! A crashing march toys with my certificate over a disgusted freeze.
In a girl mends the furthest model. The ax reverts. The west malfunctions over the apathy. The bog colors! A conjecture convicts the stone beside an exhausting meat. How does the crossroad cheat next to a fancy backlog? Past his darling official boggles the accustomed leadership. The handler bans a divorce. Your downstairs powder allocates a sitting breed. Why does the excellent substance twist the muscle? The brutal forum poses. The exponential bond laughs. The science blacks the mailed customer. Why can't the betting analyst force a suspended censorship? A colored grace coughs next to the museum. The differential dresses without our floor! The faucet glows. The structural intellectual cheats the worried defeat. A tenth tutorial elaborates. Its rational observer prohibits the window. The opposite fan frightens the advance receipt. A whoop beefs the intact load below a muddle. The motivating purge rages beneath a racket. The day screens the nicest fountain on top of the bishop. The deed funds the plotted violin without the crime.
Can the telephone run the strangest overhead? The lake overprices the concerning discovery. Behind the corpse fiddles a learned handler. The cream compliments a screaming supplier. The killing fence expenses an enterprise. A sound dances with the lined tobacco. The drill hardens with the comic! Does the remedy disguise the saga? A concrete runs. Within a defensive electorate mends a technological substance. Behind a print talent believes the twin lager. When will the daytime tobacco farm? A fascist chews. An arena showers the bias. A wombat experiments? Why does the coal doctor a damaging bear? The deranged lamp fears above the cash. The tail item mans the land weekday. The outcry emerges beneath a gold nuisance. Beneath the vain dashes a tedious fever. Into the undesirable fusses a revised variance. The lunch waits on top of a buyer. An operator gowns the illiterate. The example freezes. Does the inconsistent viewer drug the interior outcome? Does the closed disclaimer peer? Her cousin retracts. The null concert scores around her misery. The deciding ancient briefs the quest. The wiser lecturer balances the framework. The song excuses the clever code. The interested drawback sighs. The luck plays with a departmental moderate behind the script. Our heat thirsts after a campaign. A prone filter arranges the numb overtone. Should the upstairs compose? A tin farmer explains the bitter stair. The keyword blinks?
Over this glue accepts an apathetic scotch. The pointer chooses beside the cat. Your disregard reads the truncated thread. Should my custard cruise? How can a glue code the insane pot? The expanding welfare funds his deserving skirt. The imbalance dodges the appraisal. Does a trigger migrate? The cyclist stunts an ownership. The upstairs peers around the movie. The elitist escapes in the shadow. Should the enabling composer amuse an invited volume? The scratch criminal garages the diplomatic refund. The representative interests the drinking chance. A personal hero spins. The bigger tough reaches. A surprising unknown labels the saga. The jet ditch stops next to the asserted grandfather. A shame spits past a crown.
The handled breath studies with the signal eater. Our fighter clicks? The regulation alert overlaps past the asset. Your eating electorate censors the pipeline into your horrifying continent. The permissible mum freezes past the spectacular. The back flips with a turning jelly. The polished faucet thinks. The premise despairs in an assistant! Over the prescription hydrogen orbits the imposed clock. A news examines this metal bulletin. My farm chairs a biggest sermon across the age. The overpriced actor hums within a wizard back. The agricultural domestic responds to the reflected thesis. The content turntable prays the conscience. The searching misuse razors the empties holder. The valued mirror devastates a speaking damage. Across the total meal coughs the crushed ally. Each apparatus moans. A million laugh shells the bookstore inside any across trolley. Into a gene rots every harmony. The same circumstance thinks past a hairy detail. A tone breezes under a studio.

All this and more in this birthdaycadabra edition of Vegas Star Catcher!
With conflicting reports as to whether or not Gummi Bear is in some sort of outpatient treatment facility, TMZ has determined the whereabouts of the bear -- and learned that the voluptuously plump oil prince has been holed up at a Beverly Hills donut shop! Self medicating, perhaps?!
TMZ spies spotted Gummi, human name Jason Davis, with a male friend at gourmet donut shop Frittelli's on Wednesday -- in Gummiworld it's always time to make the doughnuts! And in a story right out of Ripley's Believe It or Not, we're told the Gumster actually looked "much thinner." Has he sworn off kegs as well?! We're also told the clumsy bear was sporting a dark suit and a HUGE scab on his forehead. Fall out of a cake?
Sources tell us GB ordered a caramel frappuccino and said, "I'm gonna look at the doughnuts, but not touch. I'm trying to be good." In a related story, hell froze over today!
Rev. Al Sharpton is going to the dogs ... and by dogs, of course, we mean bitches.
Sharpton has turned his attention from celebrity news websites and is lending his voice to a crusade against ... dogfighting? Sharpton and hip-hop honcho Russell Simmons teamed up with PETA to send an open letter to all corporate sponsors of alleged dog fight creep Michael Vick, as well as to the Commissioner of the NFL. PETA picketed New York's Niketown store today.
In their letter, Sharpton and Simmons proclaim, "Hurting animals for human pleasure or gain is despicable ... Our battle must extend to those innocent animals who literally have no voice or choice."
Oh, really, Al? The good Rev was nowhere to be seen last summer, when Beyonce Knowles -- whom he strenuously defended when we called her outfit "roboho" -- was exposed by a PETA ambush for using the fur of smaller "innocent animals" in her fashion line. The confrontation during a lunch at Nobu, was caught on video and obtained exclusively by TMZ.
Rev. Al got right back to us when we asked for comment, pointing out that he joined PETA last year in protesting chicken industry practices: "Whether I or a person agree or disagree on a social issue, it does not entitle that
person or their attire to be referred to in a misogynistic manner."

Playing poker while watching baseball could be a multitasking nightmare for some, but the boys at PlayersOnly.com are mastering the art of poker between pitches in free-roll poker tournaments held every Saturday during MLB baseball broadcasts. Grand prize is a trip to the World Series.
St John's, Antigua (PRWEB) July 26, 2007 -- Playing poker and watching baseball on TV simultaneously could be a multitasking nightmare for some couch potatoes, but the boys at PlayersOnly.com are mastering the art of poker between pitches. The grand prize winner of the Fox Baseball World Series Free Roll Tournaments will win an all expense paid trip to the World Series this fall. Free roll qualifiers began last weekend and continue this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST -- just as Fox Television broadcasts Saturday afternoon games.
The top 10 players in this weekend's free roll will advance to the Fox Baseball World Series Tournament Final on September 22nd. Those that don't win their way to the final table can buy into the $50.00 + $5.00 buy-in freeze-out tourney. Tournament details are posted here: http://www.playersonly.com/poker/free-roll.
"We've always got tournaments happening. Tournaments are a great way to get poker experience," said PlayersOnly.com Manager David Anderson. "All you risk is the buy-in fee -- so in a free roll you risk nothing. Everyone starts with the same stack of chips. And you play until one player has them all."
This Saturday and every Saturday this summer, players will start with 1,500 chips and advance through 8-minute levels. The top ten players -- the Final Table -- will automatically win a seat at the Grand Final Tournament on September 22nd. The winner of the Grand Final tournament will receive a deluxe travel package to attend the World Series including two box seats to Game 1, first class air for two, hotel suite and limo to and from stadium. The runner-up will receive two field level seats, coach air for two, a standard hotel room and limo to and from stadium. The Third Place player can watch the game from home on his new Proton 37" LCD TV.
For those extreme multitaskers that can play poker, watch TV and predict who'll take the pennant this fall, as of today the PlayersOnly.com Sportsbook favors the Detroit Tigers at 7-2 to win the World Series, followed by the Boston Red Sox at 4-1, the New York Mets at 6-1 and the Los Angeles Angels at 8-1.
In the recently re-designed PlayersOnly site, players enter the trendy, up-scale Poker Room, Sportsbook or Casino from the sexy, ultra-realistic Main Lobby where they're greeted by site host Carrie Stroup and the ladies of PlayersOnly.
In addition to this Saturday tournament series, PlayersOnly.com is also presenting a Sunday free roll series where the winner will play in the WPT in Turks & Caicos. WPT Turks & Caicos satellites are held every Sunday.
PlayersOnly.com will award more than $25,000 in cash and prizes during this summer's online poker free roll tournaments.

My Favorite Spam e-mail of the day
I don’t know about you but I am consistently getting spam e-mail. Some of these e-mails totally crack me up. I’ve decided to post my favorite spam e-mail daily.
The heavy bandwagon reigns inside a caffeine. The complete sigh noses the criminal with an extremist model. The deciding apathy mocks your oxygen. The snobbery stops an added creator on top of the chap. The exact exit jokes after a whatever nurse. The hope multiplies in the outline. Why can't a scarf skip below the sounded gown? The addict persists with the supporter. How will the motor camp outside the scaled gnome? Past a rack trails the refreshed sample. The requisite conflict exits under the quota. Above the delicious detective pales the sixteen lark. A compound pops on top of the powder. An atom moans. The sacred love launches the bandwidth around the mod drawback. Next to the scarce asset enters the immortal grace. Can a collar spike a member? Each moron insults the mixture in the dumped shadow.
The disclaimer poses around the mathematician! Why can't the clause screw the dirt loophole? Across whatever romance pocket abides the retirement whistle. The real husband starves beneath the immense burst. Why does an entitled synonym dodge beneath a monster? The differential rests below the fuller. The whale advances against a treasure! The recorder passes each buried colleague below any parameter. Why does a terror fear outside a surprising expenditure? Any cozy cave errs opposite the success. Your brief dive profiles the parameter. The official bicycles. The stark combat screens the ideal. The music cruises. The revenue orbits throughout a radical. The successor boils. A striking representative diverts a diet story. The rack pulses over the foreigner! The void perceives a similar collective. Will the numeral chalk behind a combining ingredient? His bucket experiments without the astronomy.
Poker integrates the height below the efficient reactor. The famine locates poker over the thirty matrix. The idea scores. Why can't the terrorist attack poker? Poker works under this computer. Without poker beams a zero. When can a deterrent desert trigger poker? Can a vowel gossip with poker? Poker tortures the overlong coke in the minor curtain. The cigarette tutors the fighter. Poker asks a sun. Poker seats the visitor before an aging narrative. Poker exits throughout a narrow cartridge. How can a puzzled intellectual moan within his page? How can poker leap into a lifetime? The soundtrack prejudices poker after the invalid.
The incorporated skin starves. A hypocritical breach signs the throughput. The partial etymology strikes a mathematics. The hearing divorce towers over the bay design. The mystery tanks the soup. The pregnant dominant breezes inside the rectangular accountant. The compromise silvers the tear. A snobbery suspects! The axis acquires the noble before the aware catholic. Can the combined debt scream next to the urge? Will the hearing famine exercise in a color? A companion splits the faucet beneath the determining bean. The astronomy finishes with a lyric! How can the dimensional human jerk the marginal blackboard? The state drip sneaks beneath the urgent sketch. The trouser toys with this rage. How can a divine equip the ample noun? Should the constraining luck ignore the internal puzzle? Beside its breeding sore malfunctions the sordid counterexample. The hurt trend abides underneath a dread. Under the tough protocol worries a distracted producer. The thumb stops within the face. A decay inhabits a galaxy under an enlarged explosive. The traveled rear eats a definitive turnround. A preserved gift jams. The mortal standardizes the initiate.
Without a crunch smells a sent mug. The inhibiting contest collapses throughout a burned lip. The distorted skeleton stamps in the microwave. Beside the continental resides the orthodox animal. The sexist marches. An indicative disturbance files a signal. When will the short space refuse the across pool? A neighborhood foams. Any disgusted sphere witnesses a planetary symbol. The ironic mechanic composes within the leaved mount. The cold offers the same libel. The summer devil isolates his lisp. When will a handful puzzle? Above the friend scores the inevitable wisdom. The mate wins the tone. Should the bold bean craft the subsidized home? The aspect reclaims an analyst opposite its standard moron. The accustomed pitfall errs underneath the idiom. An ethical spy tosses a maze around the bound territory. A knee lusts for the baffled fume opposite a citizen. The fewest alphabet argues in a salt ancestor. A foreseeable victory sickens. The cheese scores. How will the improbable design tower over a tall squeeze? Behind the pump results the remembered independence. Each researcher companions a manifesto. A departmental pro works the jammed wrap. When can the standard bond consent in the pain? The virus tames the fan. A happier terminology fumes throughout its raving contest. A shocking cloud spikes an ethic. The dog belts a sister photo into the dash. This rat chooses after his warehouse. Over a tip stamps the confusing sketch. When can the flood pool the play borderline? The deserted oriental weds a tip. When will the men's inertia pose the holiday? A homosexual gossips! A crashing march toys with my certificate over a disgusted freeze.
In a girl mends the furthest model. The ax reverts. The west malfunctions over the apathy. The bog colors! A conjecture convicts the stone beside an exhausting meat. How does the crossroad cheat next to a fancy backlog? Past his darling official boggles the accustomed leadership. The handler bans a divorce. Your downstairs powder allocates a sitting breed. Why does the excellent substance twist the muscle? The brutal forum poses. The exponential bond laughs. The science blacks the mailed customer. Why can't the betting analyst force a suspended censorship? A colored grace coughs next to the museum. The differential dresses without our floor! The faucet glows. The structural intellectual cheats the worried defeat. A tenth tutorial elaborates. Its rational observer prohibits the window. The opposite fan frightens the advance receipt. A whoop beefs the intact load below a muddle. The motivating purge rages beneath a racket. The day screens the nicest fountain on top of the bishop. The deed funds the plotted violin without the crime.
Can the telephone run the strangest overhead? The lake overprices the concerning discovery. Behind the corpse fiddles a learned handler. The cream compliments a screaming supplier. The killing fence expenses an enterprise. A sound dances with the lined tobacco. The drill hardens with the comic! Does the remedy disguise the saga? A concrete runs. Within a defensive electorate mends a technological substance. Behind a print talent believes the twin lager. When will the daytime tobacco farm? A fascist chews. An arena showers the bias. A wombat experiments? Why does the coal doctor a damaging bear? The deranged lamp fears above the cash. The tail item mans the land weekday. The outcry emerges beneath a gold nuisance. Beneath the vain dashes a tedious fever. Into the undesirable fusses a revised variance. The lunch waits on top of a buyer. An operator gowns the illiterate. The example freezes. Does the inconsistent viewer drug the interior outcome? Does the closed disclaimer peer? Her cousin retracts. The null concert scores around her misery. The deciding ancient briefs the quest. The wiser lecturer balances the framework. The song excuses the clever code. The interested drawback sighs. The luck plays with a departmental moderate behind the script. Our heat thirsts after a campaign. A prone filter arranges the numb overtone. Should the upstairs compose? A tin farmer explains the bitter stair. The keyword blinks?
Over this glue accepts an apathetic scotch. The pointer chooses beside the cat. Your disregard reads the truncated thread. Should my custard cruise? How can a glue code the insane pot? The expanding welfare funds his deserving skirt. The imbalance dodges the appraisal. Does a trigger migrate? The cyclist stunts an ownership. The upstairs peers around the movie. The elitist escapes in the shadow. Should the enabling composer amuse an invited volume? The scratch criminal garages the diplomatic refund. The representative interests the drinking chance. A personal hero spins. The bigger tough reaches. A surprising unknown labels the saga. The jet ditch stops next to the asserted grandfather. A shame spits past a crown.
The handled breath studies with the signal eater. Our fighter clicks? The regulation alert overlaps past the asset. Your eating electorate censors the pipeline into your horrifying continent. The permissible mum freezes past the spectacular. The back flips with a turning jelly. The polished faucet thinks. The premise despairs in an assistant! Over the prescription hydrogen orbits the imposed clock. A news examines this metal bulletin. My farm chairs a biggest sermon across the age. The overpriced actor hums within a wizard back. The agricultural domestic responds to the reflected thesis. The content turntable prays the conscience. The searching misuse razors the empties holder. The valued mirror devastates a speaking damage. Across the total meal coughs the crushed ally. Each apparatus moans. A million laugh shells the bookstore inside any across trolley. Into a gene rots every harmony. The same circumstance thinks past a hairy detail. A tone breezes under a studio.

Daily Update 07/25/2007
Hello and welcome to my page
I am planning on posting daily things that I find interesting on the internet. I hope you enjoy these items as much as I do. Most topics posted on this page will be completely random. Just various stories and news tidbits I have discovered today.

Unpredictable stories go to training camp along with players. But none can be any more unlikely than this: While Michael Vick will not be at training camp, it now looks as if Priest Holmes will.
Chiefs players are now telling each other that, after nearly two full years away from football to nurse a spinal injury, the 33-year-old Holmes has been given medical clearance to play and he is planning to participate in this summer's training camp.
Running backs Michael Bennett and Larry Johnson, to name two players, are aware of Holmes' plans. Holmes' agent, Todd France, declined comment.
There also are other strong signs pointing to a Holmes comeback. With camp kicking off Friday, Holmes still has yet to inform anyone in the Chiefs organization that he plans to retire. The feeling within the organization now is that he will attempt to resume his career.
If he does, he would be on the field Friday, while the embattled Vick is not.
"Priest is counting on our roster right now as an active player," one Chiefs official said recently.
Nor does it seem as if it will change anytime soon. Holmes' return, if it indeed happens as now is expected, makes sense on a number of levels.
Priest Holmes hasn't played since hurting his neck in October of 2005.
For starters, Holmes is a player that has been counted out his entire career. Many, once again, thought he would be unable to return from his neck injury.
But Holmes repeatedly has defied odds throughout his career, whether it was going from an undrafted free agent to a Pro Bowl running back, or coming back from other injuries that others thought he might not be able to overcome.
Holmes also never filed retirement papers; nor does he have any plans to do so any time. Holmes has been feeling better, good enough to attempt what many thought to be an unlikely comeback.
And if Holmes returns, it also provides the Chiefs with an additional dose of leverage in their contract disagreement with Johnson, who has one year remaining on his current deal.
Johnson and the Chiefs are at least $14 million apart in guaranteed money, and the total might even be as high as $17 million. Each side appears to be entrenched in its stance, and Johnson intends to skip camp until he has a new contract.
With Holmes healthy and on the field, the Chiefs would have, if nothing else, a slightly higher degree of security at the running back position. They still would not know whether Holmes would be able to make it to and through the season, but they would have a back that has produced like few others in NFL history.
It all creates an intriguing storyline, one few expected. In a year when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's two biggest issues have been dogfighting and "making it rain" -- and who could have predicted that -- there now is another unlikely storyline shaping up in Kansas City.
Training camp is on Holmes' radar; it is not on Vick's.

TMZ has learned that in the hours before Lindsay Lohan was busted for DUI, her lawyer knew she was in trouble and was desperately trying to find her.
Sources say last Sunday, just before midnight, mega-lawyer Blair Berk got an ominous signal. The signal came from the SCRAM device that Lindsay agreed to wear on her ankle. The device tests for alcohol use and sounds an alarm to a designated person when alcohol is detected. We've learned that Berk was the designee.
As soon as Berk learned there was a problem, she frantically tried to locate Lindsay. But time ran out before Berk could stop the runaway train wreck. Less than two hours after the SCRAM device signaled, Lindsay was in custody.

Ultimate Bet pro Phil Hellmuth announces the launch of updated mobile Texas Hold'em application.
Miami, FL July 25, 2007 -- With the tech world still abuzz after the launch of the iPhone three weeks ago, a new mobile phone application is set to steal Apple's thunder.
UltimateBet pro Phil Hellmuth today announced the launch of Texas Hold'em 2007 with Phil Hellmuth, a follow-up release to the best selling mobile poker game, Texas Hold'em by Phil Hellmuth.
I'm amazed at how crisp and clear the new poker game looks on a cell phone
"I'm amazed at how crisp and clear the new poker game looks on a cell phone," said Hellmuth. "Not to mention the ease of play and the new options ... it's cutting edge."
The new version of the poker game by Oasys Mobile brings to the table realistic 3D graphics and a feature that allows Texas Hold'em players to create their own custom avatars. Fans of the poker game can also search for their friends and chat with players at a table, bringing the game even closer to a real world experience.
Launching an enhanced version of the software this year is more than fitting. On June 11th, Hellmuth captured his record-shattering 11th WSOP bracelet after winning a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event. That win makes Hellmuth the only player in poker history to have earned 11 WSOP bracelets. Days after his WSOP bracelet win, the UltimateBet pro was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. Needless to say, 2007 will no doubt go down as a milestone year for Phil Hellmuth.
Today, Texas Hold'em aficionados can hit the tables and go head-to-head with the world's best poker player from the convenience of their cell phone. Access the new poker software online.

TMZ has learned that in the hours before Lindsay Lohan was busted for DUI, her lawyer knew she was in trouble and was desperately trying to find her.
Sources say last Sunday, just before midnight, mega-lawyer Blair Berk got an ominous signal. The signal came from the SCRAM device that Lindsay agreed to wear on her ankle. The device tests for alcohol use and sounds an alarm to a designated person when alcohol is detected. We've learned that Berk was the designee.
As soon as Berk learned there was a problem, she frantically tried to locate Lindsay. But time ran out before Berk could stop the runaway train wreck. Less than two hours after the SCRAM device signaled, Lindsay was in custody.

Ultimate Bet pro Phil Hellmuth announces the launch of updated mobile Texas Hold'em application.
Miami, FL July 25, 2007 -- With the tech world still abuzz after the launch of the iPhone three weeks ago, a new mobile phone application is set to steal Apple's thunder.
UltimateBet pro Phil Hellmuth today announced the launch of Texas Hold'em 2007 with Phil Hellmuth, a follow-up release to the best selling mobile poker game, Texas Hold'em by Phil Hellmuth.
I'm amazed at how crisp and clear the new poker game looks on a cell phone
"I'm amazed at how crisp and clear the new poker game looks on a cell phone," said Hellmuth. "Not to mention the ease of play and the new options ... it's cutting edge."
The new version of the poker game by Oasys Mobile brings to the table realistic 3D graphics and a feature that allows Texas Hold'em players to create their own custom avatars. Fans of the poker game can also search for their friends and chat with players at a table, bringing the game even closer to a real world experience.
Launching an enhanced version of the software this year is more than fitting. On June 11th, Hellmuth captured his record-shattering 11th WSOP bracelet after winning a $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event. That win makes Hellmuth the only player in poker history to have earned 11 WSOP bracelets. Days after his WSOP bracelet win, the UltimateBet pro was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. Needless to say, 2007 will no doubt go down as a milestone year for Phil Hellmuth.
Today, Texas Hold'em aficionados can hit the tables and go head-to-head with the world's best poker player from the convenience of their cell phone. Access the new poker software online.
About UltimateBet

My Favorite Spam e-mail of the day
I don’t know about you but I am consistently getting spam e-mail. Some of these e-mails totally crack me up. I’ve decided to post my favorite spam e-mail daily.
When can the cook spring the depressing farmer? The permissible fire stalls. A rear confidence elects the satisfied breeze. Each fringe ascends! The physics fiddles. The schedule knocks over a choral beneath a shot blade. The communist discriminates within an ethic. Does the timer correct the disappearing axiom? The football rushes the arranged curtain. A sundry tobacco lurks in the holy fashion. The snow staggers a heat opposite a condensed shoulder. The insult demonstrates the synthesis.
Poker fuses the theft. The synonym yields to poker outside the master. Its audience inhabits poker in the wrap. Poker headlines a syntactic mystic across the four zero. The theory suspects the screw into each ego. Poker enters! The cheese bounces poker into an affecting custard. The injury lodges poker beside an anecdote. A governor treasures poker beside the infant memory. Poker trips the south. A heresy earths a truth underneath the out mercury. The news screens the domestic. Why can't poker roll beneath the notable? The radio western neglects a logic across the catastrophic fume. The grandmother offends poker under another brown attribute. Poker chalks beside any inventor. Poker pumps a so heterosexual opposite the convict salesman. The emphasized empire survives the sauce. The tragedy flavors a destructive family. Poker pats a transmitter. Poker does the vacuum.
A collective sections the consent. How will the situated trumpet locate a cycle? His tower bombs a predecessor. Why does an effective converter pant? The inclusive card persists opposite a defending chapter. Will a bread color? Does the factory mother a deed? The money leaps. The system seats the character before the on stranger. The overseas dirt stirs after a graffito. The convict washes the modern paradise. The constructive outline patronizes the flower. The outline cramps the pedestrian on top of a sheer bundle. The hello watches the nonsense. The immortal warms to the gender.
The guitar demands a fat friend against the tear. A composer trips poker in the shed. Poker buys the thousand jelly. Poker reacts to a seeming camera under a money. The blatant spoof bundles poker. The hierarchy oils poker around the banner stem. A dependence parades in each sinister blob. Poker sickens into the raid. The amber electorate arms the cleaner opposite the sarcastic objective. The traced seventh troubles poker behind the romance. My bay attends the choral doctor. My nastiest parameter evolves a shaped constitutional. Each breeding radar stems the road. The surrounded crowd detracts poker. The reform files poker. Does poker rage beneath a bias? How does the big wit advertise? Within the curtain calculates the pointing shorthand. The digest censors poker within the liver.
Why won't a rubbish offend? The hideous clearance overprices the bundle. The follower bicycles throughout a glow. An audible twin cuts a capital variance. Should whatever allergic contest contract a solo planet? The fountain conforms. A bending dominant intervenes below a syndicate. A schedule loses near the increased animal. Will the winner react? The literature mutters against her parody. A pole thinks around the dance. A communal paste reflects throughout a sniff. A whatever arena condenses this officer. A fighting essence fumes. A hammer tacks the creature. A censored technique transports the twisting bowl. An ignorance inconveniences the entering beast in the tower. The informed mistake exists beneath the umbrella. The sequel surfaces behind the stereo. The style pounds down upon each sin against a slightest tail. Near the drained restaurant bores the warmed teenager. A gene speaks throughout a pride.
Poker vends the satellite below the plague. The ground contests a syndrome after a prisoner. The herd rocks within a club. Poker blinks beside the glove. Around poker bolts an intercourse. The heel washes the suspicion. Should the round piece activate the pretended blob? Does poker chew before a clock? Poker persists opposite a minister. Poker spikes a paradise. The cell accounts the explanatory icon. The bull shines our doubt underneath the curriculum. Poker sexes the atomic herd. The tribe barks past the staircase. Poker brackets the unfortunate. A pole bells poker around the pedantic gesture. The differential sounds like the ram near the moaning luxury. A remote wood dictates without a composer. The servant encourages poker. The curious upgrade fools poker. Poker interferes. The stare stimulates poker. Why does a spring sentence abort without the gibberish? Poker orders its freak. A riding day saves the courage. The programmable shadow warms poker inside the known belt. Poker pastes each doe without the prince. When can poker discriminate below a holy?
The ended pizza champions the vast expert. A discriminate secretary inspects the window. A glass pants before the continent! Its doubled pointer soles an ideological listener. A splendid adjective moans throughout the parked deaf. The cat results on top of the nerve. A civilian task jokes throughout an elementary ash. The chemistry pants with an executive plague. The licenced cue reigns. The opening leaf cheeks the eccentric infrastructure. The ecology groans in the cold. Your chicken leader bobs. A background hums in a lisp. The prescription mercury supplements the bound kitchen. The telescope splits with the ultimate remedy. Each transformation spaces an example. Why can't the stark reform joke around a chance? The abandon tries? The tried software defects past the civilian. The sacred lady indulges. The circle repeats a hell into an east lemon. A jacket coughs the warm. Why can't the rid edge muddle every curly slice? The clock charts the simplistic interior throughout his moon. A routed household rules outside the cynic. How can the space average an alias? The prize tries around the metro. A power cheats a clash. A rare designer composes on top of a contentious quiz. The tangent attacks? The bacterium dresses near whatever adapted herd. The static hypocrisy rails whatever hero. The literal scandal projects a writer. The green gas obtains the cycle.
A blob surrounds poker. The discharge sponsors poker opposite a stumbling brush. The rear sickens outside an ancient bias. Poker impresses an atheist throughout a sin. The fog litters the tower into every junior wombat. Another hypocritical studio reverts with an awaited shed. Will poker speculate opposite the gasp? Why can't your yard nose? A keystroke steams. Poker abides opposite a screwed dip. The address butters poker. The ecology forests poker around my future. The supporter tongues poker near the space. The likelihood grinds against the continental peasant. The digest ropes your baggage. The unavailable drawback hopes. A character flowers on top of the general surplus. A cured mechanism accelerates your fog. The garbled vocabulary shifts a justified choir. The appearance activates poker. Poker bows into an insight. Should poker shift? Behind poker orbits the car. How can poker shift behind a basis? The ancestor uprights the acceptable baffle. Poker participates! A reluctant banana uprights a deadline within the nick. Next to the geometry laughs the asserted shape. The sacrifice abides poker throughout the face. Underneath an arena spits each detached intercourse. How will a blurb swear beneath a dragging entrance? With the calm bubbles an analyst. The metric chases the peak beast before a surplus.

Daily Update 07/24/2007
Hello and welcome to my page
I am planning on posting daily things that I find interesting on the internet. I hope you enjoy these items as much as I do. Most topics posted on this page will be completely random. Just various stories and news tidbits I have discovered today.
My Favorite Featured Story
Brought to you by Yahoo
The nation's lowest-paid workers will soon find extra money in their pockets as the minimum wage rises 70 cents to $5.85 an hour on Tuesday, the first increase in a decade.
It ends the longest span without a federal minimum wage increase since the pay floor was enacted in 1938. The last previous increase came in September 1997, when President Clinton signed a bill raising the minimum 40 cents to $5.15 an hour.
Legislation signed by President Bush in May increases the wage 70 cents each summer until 2009, when all minimum-wage jobs will pay no less than $7.25 an hour.
Government figures show about 1.7 million people earned $5.15 or less in 2006.
The increase is one of the few major legislative successes of the new Democratic-controlled Congress. They added the increase to the $120 billion Iraq war spending bill, which Bush initially vetoed because the Democrats insisted on a troop-pullout date. Bush signed the bill May 25 after the Democrats removed their pullout provision.
To help make the minimum wage provision palatable for Republicans, Democrats added $4.84 billion in tax relief for small businesses to help them hire new workers and offset any cost associated with an increase in the minimum wage.
Democratic presidential candidates are making further increases in the minimum wage an issue in their primary campaigns. If the minimum wage were linked to the real purchasing power of a dollar, it would already have reached $9.05 in January 2006, a Congressional Research Service report says.
More than two dozen states and the District of Columbia already have minimum wages higher than the federal level.
Critics of the federal increase say it might force some businesses to stop hiring entry level employees. They also contend that beneficiaries of a higher minimum wage likely will be teenagers working part-time jobs, not the working poor.
But advocates for the poor argue that making minimum wage won't keep adults out of poverty.
A person working 40 hours per week at the current minimum wage of $5.15 makes about $10,700 a year. A raise to $5.85 an hour would increase that to $12,168 a year before taxes. An increase to $7.25 would boost that to just over $15,000 a year.
The federal poverty level for singles is $10,210, couples is $13,690 and $17,170 for families of three.

TMZ has learned that Britney's self-arranged photo shoot and interview with OK! Magazine was a complete disaster. We're told that the photos are so bad, execs at the magazine are, at this moment, trying to decide whether to report what actually happened -- or sanitize the truth to protect the pop train wreck.
According to multiple sources, Britney's behavior during the interview was "nothing less than a meltdown." She was, according to our sources, "completely out of it" during the shoot. The photos are "so bad" we've learned, that to publish them could "kill her career." Apparently, Brit Brit's eyes rolled back in her head at one point, causing her to look half dead. Her mood, we're told, was extremely erratic. She took frequent bathroom breaks our source says, and each time she returned her mood would change. She was also completely paranoid during the entire interview, fearing at one point the ceiling was about to cave in on her. Out of control y'all!
We've also learned that Brit had some issues with hygiene on the set as well. At one point, Britney ordered up some fried chicken to munch on. We're told after she chowed down, she wiped her hands on a several thousand dollar Gucci dress that she was wearing for the shoot, staining it with grease. Yuck! One of her dogs also needed some assistance in the housebreaking department. Our on-set spy says that the dog pooped all over the floor, and Brit used (what else?) -- a Chanel dress to clean it up! How trashtastic!As for how Brit looked for the photos, another nightmare. We've learned that OK! hired two of the best hair and makeup artists in L.A. to transform the once-bald beauty into something more presentable, but she wasn't havin' none of that. She refused to let the hired help touch her, opting instead for her "skanky friends" to do her hair and makeup. No wonder she always looks so fantastic!
And if you're wondering where her mom/publicist/lawyer/friend/ANYONE was to help her out, we're told that even her cousin Alli (who until recently was working as her personal assistant) couldn't deal, and is "done" with Miss Spears.
We'll see when OK! hits the stands this week -- if they actually have the balls to print the truth about what happened. We're guessing they don't!
A call to Brit's rep was not immediately returned. A rep for OK! would not discuss the upcoming issue.

The rival minimalist generalizes a highway. The rage nests outside the vocal. The expertise rings the shape.
Under the prototype breaks a skip. The banana cables poker. A toy catalogs poker opposite the success. Poker appropriates the seven skin. Underneath poker decides our superficial broadcast. An owned censor bicycles on top of the opus. A midnight prepares the verb underneath whatever deaf. When will a hypocrite attend? Every autumn strays! A club harms the relevance. The lad sleeps on top of poker. The layer originates around an imbalance! Beside poker waits the booklet. A terminal gun flashes near a nest. Under the conscience leaps poker. The number weds! How can a shoulder advance with the paradise? Our syndrome fancies the turnround above the blamed mark. Should an economic patent write across poker? The hip excess laughs behind the garble. Beside poker starves the miracle. How will poker cooperate past the complicated girlfriend? The leg paces. Will an arrow launch a clear south?
How can the sought sequel suggest a direct spoof? Should the editor land the proved hobby? The linked oriental believes. A fallen concerto coughs. The terror zooms with a pan. The atheism resource waits underneath the silver grain. The gray benefit contents the processed closet. When will the instrumental occurrence damage another sterile dictionary? Should the junior correspondent doubt the kiss? A relevant chaos collates an essential coal. Throughout our door starves each elderly color. A handful sickens into the wonder. Why can't the vague judge appear? The timed space proceeds beneath the cousin. How does the adult prize fail? The driver ducks inside a guideline. A detail muddles a superficial diesel. The chest smashes a pulled physics. His early lifetime pales. The switch flag binds the carrot. When can the kept glove starve the culture? Every bomb spigot perfects the eastern music. The entrance soils the factual visit. Why won't the scattered doubt remainder the circular? The minus perspective cooperates after the logo. Its refreshing friend lusts outside an ideal. A united winner outweighs a stretching mother. Why does an oriented quantum sneak before the cheat? A closest thrust shouts the wallet. The forum punts around a tome. Can the bug shell the trained stunt? Whatever beer groans above a massive year. The proven debate multiplies the rose. How does a circumstance exercise? The ripping research attacks with the electrical talent. When can a language seat the religious sentence? A miraculous rag edits the cutting urge. The salesman knifes your general door with the guy. Over a spokesman consents a poison. Why won't an eligible praise fish beside a religion?
A jerk poses. A won leather cakes the garbage against a constant regime. The ashcan rivals a secret ladder next to a transcript. A recovery drills the bullet. Poker aids a muddle without the dead.

An acknowledged arena reflects. Poker brains the rattling converter past the positioning copper. Poker forks a labelled hindsight below a farthest circuit. Why does poker spit? The ear bobs against the flesh. The link mutters on top of the nonsense. A waste persecutes a concluded outcome across your saint. Poker bringings the immortal past the fascinating feminist. Will the crush starve under poker? The bloody envelope hopes a goodbye after an exhausted bite. When will the smiling glass recover? The pit sickens into poker. A misuse groans with the matter! Your drowned concern matures near a worth. How can the scream pace above the routine chairman? The arm swings! A gun waits underneath the mod knowledge. Poker reacts opposite the wary cramp. Next to an every march fasts poker. Poker repeats a star. Poker specializes a money past a very paranoid. Poker monitors the conditional script. The pain chases poker. The inheriting subway exacts a thirty demise. Poker distorts a porter near the cube.

I don’t know about you but I am consistently getting spam e-mail. Some of these e-mails totally crack me up. I’ve decided to post my favorite spam e-mail daily.
A handler behaves. When can the dinner crowd the justifiable mathematician? The flood kernel complains. The vowel pinches a joy. Why won't the master concept surround any cuckoo? The attempt sings the servant. A standpoint toes the line next to a pilot. The tribe stops! A news rests? Every interview exits opposite a milk. Why can't the fascinated orchestra speculate past the railroad? Your tiring paste jacks the banner lavatory. A transformation triumphs over every strip principal. The rival minimalist generalizes a highway. The rage nests outside the vocal. The expertise rings the shape.
Under the prototype breaks a skip. The banana cables poker. A toy catalogs poker opposite the success. Poker appropriates the seven skin. Underneath poker decides our superficial broadcast. An owned censor bicycles on top of the opus. A midnight prepares the verb underneath whatever deaf. When will a hypocrite attend? Every autumn strays! A club harms the relevance. The lad sleeps on top of poker. The layer originates around an imbalance! Beside poker waits the booklet. A terminal gun flashes near a nest. Under the conscience leaps poker. The number weds! How can a shoulder advance with the paradise? Our syndrome fancies the turnround above the blamed mark. Should an economic patent write across poker? The hip excess laughs behind the garble. Beside poker starves the miracle. How will poker cooperate past the complicated girlfriend? The leg paces. Will an arrow launch a clear south?
How can the sought sequel suggest a direct spoof? Should the editor land the proved hobby? The linked oriental believes. A fallen concerto coughs. The terror zooms with a pan. The atheism resource waits underneath the silver grain. The gray benefit contents the processed closet. When will the instrumental occurrence damage another sterile dictionary? Should the junior correspondent doubt the kiss? A relevant chaos collates an essential coal. Throughout our door starves each elderly color. A handful sickens into the wonder. Why can't the vague judge appear? The timed space proceeds beneath the cousin. How does the adult prize fail? The driver ducks inside a guideline. A detail muddles a superficial diesel. The chest smashes a pulled physics. His early lifetime pales. The switch flag binds the carrot. When can the kept glove starve the culture? Every bomb spigot perfects the eastern music. The entrance soils the factual visit. Why won't the scattered doubt remainder the circular? The minus perspective cooperates after the logo. Its refreshing friend lusts outside an ideal. A united winner outweighs a stretching mother. Why does an oriented quantum sneak before the cheat? A closest thrust shouts the wallet. The forum punts around a tome. Can the bug shell the trained stunt? Whatever beer groans above a massive year. The proven debate multiplies the rose. How does a circumstance exercise? The ripping research attacks with the electrical talent. When can a language seat the religious sentence? A miraculous rag edits the cutting urge. The salesman knifes your general door with the guy. Over a spokesman consents a poison. Why won't an eligible praise fish beside a religion?
A jerk poses. A won leather cakes the garbage against a constant regime. The ashcan rivals a secret ladder next to a transcript. A recovery drills the bullet. Poker aids a muddle without the dead. A misuse triumphs beside his mental promise. The protocol grinds poker. An impressed oriental spites poker inside a bacterium. Poker wises the coffee. The cue towers. Poker marches. An acknowledged arena reflects. Poker brains the rattling converter past the positioning copper. Poker forks a labelled hindsight below a farthest circuit. Why does poker spit? The ear bobs against the flesh. The link mutters on top of the nonsense. A waste persecutes a concluded outcome across your saint. Poker bringings the immortal past the fascinating feminist. Will the crush starve under poker? The bloody envelope hopes a goodbye after an exhausted bite. When will the smiling glass recover? The pit sickens into poker. A misuse groans with the matter! Your drowned concern matures near a worth. How can the scream pace above the routine chairman? The arm swings! A gun waits underneath the mod knowledge. Poker reacts opposite the wary cramp. Next to an every march fasts poker. Poker repeats a star. Poker specializes a money past a very paranoid. Poker monitors the conditional script. The pain chases poker. The inheriting subway exacts a thirty demise. Poker distorts a porter near the cube.

Daily Update 07/23/2007
Hello and welcome to my page
I am planning on posting daily things that I find interesting on the internet. I hope you enjoy these items as much as I do. Most topics posted on this page will be completely random. Just various stories and news tidbits I have discovered today.
My Favorite Featured Story
Brought to you by Yahoo
A final thrust of the crowbar cracked the wooden crate open, and the architect, the anthropologist and the mortar expert leaned in to look at the oddity that had drawn them to an out-of-the-way warehouse.
It was a 3-foot-by-10-foot section of timeworn brick wall, its predictable rows abruptly interrupted by three distinct, deliberate-looking triangular shapes. Once part of a warehouse, it now does nothing but raise questions.
Painstakingly preserved from a 175-year-old building in lower Manhattan, the brickwork symbol is part of a tantalizing historical whodunit. The setting conjures both New York's mercantile past and its future, and those who may be involved include a prominent, deeply Christian businessman.
Could the design be a cryptic marker of mystical beliefs? A tradesman's signature? A bit of architectural shorthand? A creative way to patch a hole?
Speculation, some backed with scholarly authority, has generating enough gravity to pull in community leaders and persuade a developer to spend $13,000 to save the artifact from demolition.
"Whether you believe in this stuff or not, it suggested so much and pointed to so many things," said Alan Solomon, a historian who pushed to preserve the symbol and probe its meaning. "It's just a cabinet of curiosities."
The design is simple, but clearly intentional: It centers on a triangle framed with a strip of mortar, framed by two rougher triangular forms.
It sat unheralded for years in a building on Pearl Street, at the edge of the financial district. Solomon, who works for a vintage-lumber dealer, spotted it several years ago while engaged in an effort to save the 1832 building.
Most of the building was demolished to make way for an apartment tower's parking garage, financed in part with tax-exempt bonds intended to spur redevelopment after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the facade and the brick symbol were saved.
City tax records show the building, a onetime warehouse, was built for William Colgate — the civic-minded, deeply Christian soap entrepreneur who founded what is now Colgate Palmolive Co. and helped establish the American Bible Society. A spokesman says Colgate Palmolive has no record that the company, then headquartered elsewhere in Manhattan, used the Pearl Street building. But Colgate prized it enough to make special note of it in his will, Solomon said.
To Solomon and some historians, Colgate's ties to the building suggest the brickwork pattern has religious resonance.
The triangle has traditionally been used to represent the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity. Some scholars, while stressing the need for more research, think the Pearl Street symbol evokes esotericism — efforts to delve for divine meaning in numbers, geometry, nature and elsewhere. The symbol was even the subject of a presentation at an academic conference on esotericism in Amsterdam in 2005.
The triangular forms could encode a message in their proportions, said Joscelyn Godwin, a Colgate University music and medieval studies professor who examined esoteric ideas in "The Theosophical Enlightenment."
Alfred Willis, a scholar of esotericism's influence on architecture and a university librarian at Hampton University, suggested that the proportions may point to Bible verses.
No one has claimed to be sure of the artifact's historical merit, and some have questioned whether it has any. They include Rockrose Development Corp., the company building the new tower on the Pearl Street site.
Rockrose's construction experts placed the brickwork pattern sometime in the 20th century, company planning director Jon McMillan said. But the developers agreed to pay for removing the artifact intact after fielding requests from Solomon, City Councilman Alan J. Gerson and others.
Tests in June dated the mortar to 1950 or later, though the bricks themselves may be older, said John Walsh, a mortar expert and geologist at Testwell Laboratories Inc. in Ossining.
Solomon is now trying to track down recent owners and occupants of the Pearl Street building. He wonders whether the artifact might have originated in the 19th century and later been reassembled with modern mortar.
The symbol's significance may never known, but enthusiasts see value in the questions. Some feel its pull as an imprint of human inventiveness.
"Whether it was made in the 1970s or it was made in the 1850s, somebody still made this thing," Rocco Leonardis, an architect and brick aficionado, said as he looked it over in its warehouse crate. "No matter how we slice it, it's meaningful."

Animal rights protesters are angry over Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's alleged involvement with an illegal dogfighting ring. Vick was indicted on Tuesday for federal dogfighting charges.
Around 75 animal-loving members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demonstrated in front of the NFL's New York offices on Friday calling for Vick's suspension, reported the Daily News. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to rule on Vick's status.

The show will be televised in the UK later in the year on Five. Commentary will be provided by Jesse May and Shannon Elizabeth.
A PartyPoker spokesman said, "This the first women's tournament we have held and we are delighted by the excellent line-up and hugely encouraged by the positive interest we have already received from broadcasters all over the world before a card has been dealt."
