Wed, 23 April 2008 ![]() What is the likelihood that an alligator will walk his/her way inside your kitchen? Well, this alligator found her way to this Florida woman's kitchen. Having a small brain, during the mating season, the alligator is highwired to do a few things: sleep, chase for food, and find a mate. The woman did not think that her cat was causing the commotion in the kitchen. It was too loud. She peeked in to find the alligator roaming around. She went back into her bedroom and closed the door behind her. Then, she called 911 for help. Police arrived. And 2 hours later, the animal catcher arrived to wrestle with the alligator. No the woman was not loony as the 911 operator wanted us to believe. It was not an iguana. It was a gator. Guess what? Pet lovers kept calling the woman to ask about the cat. They did not ask about her. Thanks God, she is fine. The incidence of phone calls showed that people are more interested in animals than in Humans. From Wall Street to Main Street, pets are sometimes loved more than people. Think about the rich New York woman who left a sizeable sum of money, millions, for her pet dog! Isn't it time to help our fellow human beings? Help Haitian kids go to school where they can find a meal. Children should not have to eat mud cakes or cookies Do something about it here: http://sponsorandfeedachild.blogspot.com http://microcreditcapital.blogspot.com

Sat, 23 February 2008 ![]() Congratulations to Marc and JLO on having their twins! ============ Homeowners Used Home as ATM: Equity Loans Now Hasten Foreclosures From the Bay Area, the Central Valley of California to the Florida Coast. How is it that some homeowners end up owing more than their home is worth? Well for the past few years starting in 2001 and ending in 2006, homes came to represent a new currency. If you had a home, you had cash. All it took was for the homeowners to get the home appraised and refinanced. The money they took out was ready to be spent on pricey, but sometimes unnecessary things such as one or two extra vehicles, toys and various other gadgets for the household. Those who had other sources of income ended up taking trips to the far corners of the earth. The surprising thing that happened is that banks and mortgage companies were ready to give credit. A home may be refinanced up to three times with no red flags being sent out. Now that credit is assessed closely, many of these people are left with no money. By then, the house values have greatly decreased. Homeowners are stuck. They can not refinance their homes because they end up owing more than the house is worth. Many homeowners just decide to walk away from the shell of the home. The equity is gone. The house only remains standing. And the wild grass continues to grow before it gets grown. There is no doubt that rising home values from 2001 to 2006 caused many homeowners to launch themselves into this kind of exuberant lifestyles. The trips to Reno, casinos, Las Vegas and other fun destinations were numerous. All of this was being funded by money that was not truly there to be spent. With the tumbling of home values and sales, many families are waking up homeless and realize that the primary function of a house is to be a home, but not an ATM or mini-bank. From higher to lower income individuals, homeowners are being hurt. Those who got caught up in the subprime market end up suffering more. The question is what is more important: Is it the house or the expensive, unused toy? While the house is getting lost to foreclosure, the toys are being carted away into storage space, apartment or condo rentals. In the next few months, it is not unreasonable to see that the rental industry will be picking up quickly. As interest rates get adjusted more, more people will have to move out their homes. When it becomes impossible to use home equity to pay for monthly expenses, then some homeowners are really starting to see the core ideas of personal finance. The ideas of saving for hard times never come to them either. Additional Resources:

Fri, 31 August 2007 Former CNN anchorwoman Paula Zahn wrote sex diary after cheating on her husband, Richard Cohen. What were they doing staying married if the fire in their marriage had extinguished for more than 20 years? Hello, Richard Cohen, get a grip of the reality! Now you are complaining that your best friend betrayed you. ".... Zahn betrayed him when she strayed with his pal, married ContiGroup CEO Paul Fribourg. "I trusted Paul and I trusted Paula," Cohen told a friend. "I had no inkling there was a long-term romance." Paula Zahn should have known better than that. She should have had the guts of dumping her multimillionaire developer before carrying on with her neighbor, Paul Fribourg. Now Paul is in trouble with his wife. Now they have to figure out this whole mess. Here is what we know about these families. "Fribourg has not spoken publicly about Zahn but the publicity has ripped apart his marriage to wife, Josabeth. Cohen, cofounder of Boston-based Capital Properties, met Zahn in the early 1980s when she worked in Boston. They married in 1987 and have three children: daughter Haley, 17, and sons Jared, 13, and Austin, 10." In the meantime, observers and fans are commenting on the affair between Paula Zahn and Fribourg. "It seems to me like people these days are completely fixated on "does this person make me happy?" without considering that NOBODY is going to make you happy 100 percent of the time. ================ http://shopnowshop.com/fertilitygold/index.html http://podshoppingblog.com/fashionbikini/index.html

Thu, 30 August 2007 Here's a little-known fact that will give you yet another reason to want to get it on tonight: Great sex can improve your health. "Sex is an aerobic exercise, and the endorphins, dopamine and oxytocin hormones that are released during lovemaking help boost your immune system, decrease depression, and strengthen your heart," says Hilda Hutcherson, M.D., a gynecologist at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. "They may even help you live longer." Research shows that the heart-pumping levels you reach before, during and after an orgasm lie somewhere between the energy you would exert doing a round of light calisthenics and riding a bike at eight miles per hour. So talk to your doctor about problems between the sheets. Do you have fertility or infertility issues?

Tue, 28 August 2007 NFLPlayerDrama: Will guilty Dogfighter Michael Vick Become a Rat? How Many Other NFL Players will be Ratted Out? It would be very curious to find out whether a man, an NFL player who was so cruel to dogs will become a rat. Michael Vick pleaded guilty to a dogfighting conspiracy charge. He is ready to assume his responsibility in the matters as the bankroller of Bad Newz Kennels. Would it make any difference if Vick was mistreating other animals such as a goat, pig or a cow? Our connection to dogs makes us enact laws to protect them. As a society, we have been saying that fighting dogs is illegal and that we can not be cruel to them either. Once again, would it matter if Michael Vick, Falcons Quarterback, was fighting cocks? What if he was a mean cockfighter? Would it make any difference if Michael was a fisherman, a large animal hunter on a Safari? No matter what, we as a society have set the rules. We have established the laws. Vick must own up to his guilt. Flanked by his well-paid lawyers, he is ready to take his responsibility in the mess. The disgraced quarterback is ready to ask for forgiveness. He is presenting his apologies to his teammates for lying to them. He is saying sorry to the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank and the public or fans. "I was not honest and forthright in our discussions," he said. "I need to grow up." He went on to admit to his guilt. "Dogfighting is a terrible thing, and I did reject it... So I got a lot of down time, a lot of time to think about actions and what I've done and how to make Michael Vick a better person...I will redeem myself. I have to." No matter what Michael Vick can say to the young people of America, commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him indefinitely without pay after the quarterback filed a plea agreement that shows him as being less involved the other co-defendants. By doing so, he acknowledged bankrolling gambling on the dogfights. He denied placing bets or taking any of the winnings. He was an absent business owner. The NFL commissioner said of Vick's conduct, "not only illegal but also cruel and reprehensible." He added, "Your actions in funding the betting and your association with illegal gambling both violate the terms of your NFL player contract and expose you to corrupting influences in derogation of the one of the most fundamental responsibilities of an NFL player." He also freed the Falcons to reclaim or recoup $22 million of Vick's signing bonus from the 10-year contract. "You have engaged in conduct detrimental to the welfare of the NFL and have violated the league's personal conduct policy." Goodell was not mincing words in his letter to Michael Vick. The letter's tone is very harsh, probably less harsh than the treatment that Michael and Co granted to the fighting dogs. Goodell's letter continued, "You are now justifiably facing consequences for the decisions you made and the conduct in which you engaged. Your career, freedom, and public standing are now in the most serious jeopardy. I hope that you will be able to learn from this difficult experience and emerge from it better prepared to act responsibly and to make the kinds of choices that are expected of a conscientious and law-abiding citizen."

Sun, 5 August 2007 Michelle Madigan, Associate Producer at NBC Dateline, was outed at the hacker conference Defcon having lied about her position as a member of the press, instead registering as an ordinary attendee. What was NBC thinking? Most people are on their guard when it comes NBC's antics of shocking reporting. Chris Hansen's How to Catch a Predator is spreading fears among common individuals who may end up confessing to crimes on TV. Now Michelle Madigan. "DEFCON organizers caught wind of this from undisclosed sources and casually contacted Madigan to see if she wanted official press credentials and a press badge to cover DEFCON. Reporters in the pressroom were then fully briefed on the situation before the “spot the undercover reporter game� so that they could cover the event." Soon thereafter, the NBC Dateline reporter bolted. Up to 150 attendees followed her in the parking lot to her car. During the brisk walk, attendees were taking pictures of her. Madigan got into her car and left, but she got lost. She was outed, became so ashamed that she lost her sense of direction. Now, all she could do was to accept the Press Pass which was offered to her. She refused to use it. She wanted to catch somebody in the act doing something that middle America would be surprised by. So much for her investigative skills! She thought she could hack DEFCON! Find out more here http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=653 Additional Resources
