If looks didn't matter, would Fergie have ever made it into the stupor-bowl halftime show to butcher sweet child of mine?

Don't care for Burlesque, Cher, Barbera Streisand, drag shows, musicals or least of all, Glee. Somewhere in all of those are buried stereotypes that I have been beaten over the head with for years.

Why do you write? Do you need affirmation? Do they need to know or do you need them to know?

A tough looking biker was riding his Harley when he sees a girl about to jump off a bridge so he stops. "What are you doing?" he asks. I'm going to commit a suicide," she says. While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity he asked "Well, before you jump, why don't you give me a Kiss?" So, she does. After she's finished, the biker says, "Wow! That was the best Kiss I have ever had. That's a real talent you are wasting. You could be famous! Why are you committing suicide?" "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl......"

Fill out one of these and flush it.

We're getting hit tonight with ice. Not cool. When bad weather happens, rednecks go outside to see it. This is bad during tornadoes.

Forecasters: Cyclone poses 'serious threat to life' in Queensland Bryony Jones for CNN February 2, 2011 Source Link: CNN A huge tropical cyclone taking aim at Australia's Queensland state has strengthened to a Category 5 -- the highest designation on Australia's cyclone classification system -- and its landfall is "likely to be more life threatening than any experienced during recent generations," forecasters said. Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi has winds gusting up to 295 kph (183 mph) and is expected to maintain that intensity until making landfall in northeastern Queensland late Wednesday evening local time, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said. The cyclone threatens more devastation for Queensland, which already has been hit by deadly flooding in recent weeks. "Yasi ... poses an extremely serious threat to life and property within the warning area, especially between Port Douglas and Townsville. This impact is likely to be more life threatening than any experienced during recent generations," the bureau says on its website. Hundreds of patients have been evacuated from hospitals in the far north Queensland town of Cairns, and residents are being told to leave their homes as Cyclone Yasi closes in. The storm is forecast to make landfall between Cairns and Innisfail. Experts say it will bring torrential rain and cause a storm surge of up to 2 meters above the usual high tide line, flooding low-lying areas along the coast. Queensland Deputy Police Commissioner Ian Stewart warned the state faces "one of the most significant weather events" in its history. "This is a life-threatening storm, and people need to understand that they have a final window of opportunity to self-evacuate," Stewart said. "In the hours that are left, people need to make their final preparations to either shelter in place, or evacuate." The state's premier, Anna Bligh, has urged residents in the threatened areas to take sensible precautions and to stay inside once the storm hits. "These will be highly destructive winds... they will be life-threatening if people make it their business to go outside in them. "Loss of life and serious injury ultimately depends on people being sensible, listening to the warnings, taking advice and not treating this as a tourist event. "It will be a display of the awesome power of nature, but it's not something you want to go outside and watch." More than 250 patients -- including premature babies, those in intensive care, and on dialysis -- are being airlifted to facilities in Brisbane for treatment after the storm forced the closure of two hospitals in Cairns. "We understand this will cause some anxiety, but it is only being done to make sure that very ill, very vulnerable patients are in the safest place possible," said Bligh. More than 20 people died and thousands of homes were wrecked when severe flooding hit Queensland in January, affecting 3.1 million people. Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard has announced a one-off flood tax aimed at helping to pay for the estimated AUS $5.6 billion (US $5.58 billion) damage caused.

Grammarly Grammarly is a 100% web based solution for grammar checking. It is a pay service which allows you to dump text into the web interface and set the options for the types of checks that you require. Grammarly checks for plagiarism- which is probably useful for teachers but annoying for other types of users. In my test case, I was flagged for several erroneous small blocks of text. The snippets of text were so generic they could have fit anywhere. I turned off the feature. Grammarly checks for general, creative, business, academic, technical and casual types of writing. In addition to grammar, punctuation, tense and type usage, the program also checks for spelling, synonyms, homonyms and proper usage. It works by dropping text directly into the web interface. The program then scans it and creates an exception report sorted by types of errors. You can then make manual corrections. The problem that I had with the program is that it only accepts text. Once it is returned to the word processor, all formatting has to be re-entered. I was pleased with the results. Difficult types of errors to detect are flagged and marked. Spelling is checked but so is usage. Many times a word is spelled correctly but misused in context. I have learned quite a lot about punctuation from Grammerly. I have found that I am much too stingy with commas. I use semi-colons without fear. Grammarly makes me the Capitan of my own text. Large blocks of text are difficult to deal with. I suggest cutting it into one page segments. They are much less cumbersome and easier to work with. I would like to see this program modified or upgraded to interface directly with a word processors (like MS Word or OpenOffice) so that edits can be made directly in the document. Subscription Cost: $40/quarter Grade: B- The Good: Excellent text grammar checking and error reporting The Bad: Large blocks of text are cumbersome and difficult to work with The Ugly: Poor interface, only works with text, does not interface with word processors

Can't do it. It would be a matter of what mood I'm in today. The writers here are diverse and offer very different things. Some days it would be X, others Y, occassionally Z and on in rare cases Z'.

I was in college the day it happened. Word spread like wildfire. We all called it a day and went home. Some of the science staff had experiments in line to go up on the shuttle and their research got push back 7 to 10 years.

I'm wondering if this pro-democracy revolution virus thing might have legs. I've seen reports of demonstration in Yemen, Indonesia, Thailand and Venezuela. Is it a just a coincidence that the Obama administration is asking congress for an Internet kill switch? Why the Internet kill switch is a bad idea

I'm thinking four is a nice round number.

I doubt that it would be in Israels best interest for Egypt to fall. The big question becomes what fell beasts slouch towards Cairo to be born? There is no guarantee that the new government will honor the Camp David Accords. There could be a new round of Arab-Israeli Wars and it could get very, very ugly. Egypt's Military is large, well equipped and professional. They could seriously put the heat on Israel.

News sources have reported that Egyptian President Mubarak has fled to London. Conflicting sources say that only Mubarak's family has fled. More as it becomes available. ________________________________________________________ Update Mubarak is still in Egypt. He has asked the current goverenment to resign. There's lots of contradictory chatter about this on the net.
