Breast Cancer Awareness??
Do you think that this mouse pad would make your husband more aware of breast cancer and how to tell if his spouse had it?
It would definitely cause them to think about something more often…I’m just not sure what.
It reads: “frequent massaging breasts enables you detect breast cancer before it strikes”

Star Jones Is a LIAR!!
Back when Star Jones ‘lost’ all of her weight she INSISTED that it was because she ate properly and exercised regularly.
At that time Rosie O’Donnell called her out and said that a weight loss that dramatic, that quick could only occur after surgery and was killed in the media for being catty.
Today a different tune is being sung and I think Star owes Rosie and apology!
She stated on air MANY times that she did not under go surgery to lose weight and even wrote a book about it as well…
Now, in the September issue of Glamour, she’s admitting that, yes, she had gastric bypass surgery – despite previously only admitting to having undegone a “medical intervention.”
Why the delay in speaking up? “First, I didn’t know if the surgery would work,” she writes in the first-person essay. “I had spent my entire adult life telling everyone that I was fine with the way I looked. I never thought I’d have to explain it.
“But the complete truth is, I was scared of what people might think of me.”
Jones Reynolds, 45, begins her Glamour essay on Aug. 19, 2003, the day of her surgery, and she writes, “I was so angry: How had I allowed myself to get to 307 pounds?”
Tracking her weight gain over the years – peaking after she rapidly gained about 75 lbs. following her 40th birthday – Jones Reynolds describes feeling lonely and using food as a tool to fill the void. “Whenever I felt lonely, a Double Whopper with cheese became my friend. If I felt sad, six strips of bacon made me feel better.”
“Even though I claimed to be just fine with my weight, I saw how other women [colleagues] were treated like the girlfriend, while I was treated like the good friend, she writes about her first job with NBC News in 1991. “To compensate for my insecurities, I spoke louder and ate more.”
After a close friend intervened, Jones Reynolds says she consulted doctors and went in for a successful gastric bypass operation in 2003.
After undergoing her surgery, the Court TV host said she didn’t expect so much public scrutiny. So, she says, she sidestepped reports that she had undergone the treatment despite rapidly losing upwards of 160 lbs. over three years.
Several life changes led to Jones Reynolds’s decision to come forward, she says. The support of her husband, Al Reynolds, was a contributing factor. And therapy led her to feeling more accepting of her body.
“The toughest part of the journey has been forgiving myself for not having the self-control I know I should have had, or admitting I needed help,” she writes about her counseling. Reader letters while she was still on The View also contributed to her decision.
“Every day I am learning to let go of my insecurities and acknowledge that I don’t have all the answers, which is okay,” she writes. Though she still struggles with self-image, she writes that being healthy is what counts. “I’m not saying that in order to be happy, women need to be a certain size, but I am saying that we should all strive to be healthy.”
I guess we will see what Rosie has to say later… Could this be a way for her to create some press around herself so that he TV show will do better??? I wonder…..
ADORABLE Mom and Baby Shot
I had to post this photo..doesn’t this mom look so happy holding her baby?
Anak, a 31-year-old Orang Utan, holds her five-day-old baby Apie in her arms in Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, central Netherlands, July 31, 2007. The baby was born in captivity at the zoo. The zoo participates in the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP) , a European breeding program to save the endangered Orang Utans from extinction.
No Naughty Licence Plates In the UK
Th UK has cracked down on sneaky naughty licence plates and have stepped in to ban a list of naughty number-plates before the new 57 registrations arrive.
They were forced to act to stop cheeky drivers using the number combination to “spell out” offensive or controversial words.
Officials feared the figures 5 and 7 – on new plates from September – may be used to represent letters S and T or S and Y, reports The Sun.
That could have seen cars on the streets with registrations TE57 CLE (Testicle), EC57 ASY (Ecstasy), BA57 ARD (Bastard), MY57 ASH (My Stash), H057 AGE (hostage) and HE57 ABS (stabs).
Also banned is EA57 GAL (Easy Gal).
A DVLA spokesman said the plates were blocked “to avoid causing “general offence or embarrassment”.
But a spokesman for the Association of British Drivers said: “The DVLA should be setting their priorities on more worthwhile issues – like reviewing safety.”
Who has a licence plate with easy gal on it?? Why don’t you tattoo it on your lower back while your at it???
Dear Britney,
Now that you are a mom maybe you should try to tone down the trashy nature of your life.
Pole dancing in your videos is something that would have been accepted when you were 20 and single, NOT now that you have 2 young children who are looking for a role model.
Please spend some time with your children and stop being such a whack job.
The world DOES NOT revolve around you, smarten up and start to be responsible!!
Set up some playdates for your kids and keep your personal life private.
You have so much going for you stop throwing everything away.
The world is WAITING for you to turn your life around and return to being the pop princess that everyone fell in love with.
It never too late to become a good person.
Thank you for your time,
Rambling Lady
One TOUGH Dog
Someone had better give this poor guy some extra love when he gets better…
Vets in the UK believe that he was shot twice at close range with a crossbow.
Lovable Beau was handed in to vets in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, by police on Wednesday night. She was found by a member of the public at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Wakefield, with the devastating injuries.
She was given urgent pain relief when she was handed to shocked staff at the animal hospital.
And she underwent the drastic surgery last week to remove the distinctive bolts.
He added: “In all my years as a vet I have never seen anything like this. It’s disgusting. It’s one of the most extreme cases of cruelty I have ever encountered. It is easy to tell when dogs are in a horrific amount of pain since they fail to eat and have a high heart rate.”
Here he is after his surgery:
The Japanese Love Their TOYS
The Japanese love technology so much that now even sex toys are on the cutting edge.
The “gPod”, a phallic-shaped vibrator, is designed to respond automatically to sounds picked up by an accompanying handset, which can plug into anything from a telephone to a music player to a television.
The gPod, referred to as an “iVibrator,” takes its name and description from Apple’s wildly popular iPod. Apple, however, has no affiliation with the product.
The gPod, which retails for $243, was one of a number of toys that went on public view this week at Japan’s first-ever sex toy expo in suburban Tokyo.
Just when you thought that it couldn’t get any better…
“You can use it in many ways, for example hooking it up to your mobile phone,” said Ichiro Kameda, the machine’s inventor. “One of the ideas is that you can use it here in Tokyo when your boyfriend in New York is talking to you on the phone.”
As you can imagine, Apple is not impressed. They have sent the company a letter requesting that they stop using the gPod trademark. The Japanese creator has laughed off Apple’s threats, saying that they will fight if Apple decides to sue.
What Does 200 Million Dollars CASH Look Like??
The US government called the windfall “the largest single drug cash seizure the world has ever seen.”
It was all found stashed behind false walls and in cupboards of a luxurious Mexico City mansion owned by a Chinese pharmaceutical tycoon accused of making a fortune by peddling massive quantities of a chemical used to make the street drug crystal methamphetamine.
Police also seized six Mercedes Benz cars in the March raid on the Mediterranean-style house, but businessman Zhenli Ye Gon managed to escape and fled across the border into the United States.
Drug agents who arrested Ye Gon, 44, at a restaurant in the Washington DC suburb of Maryland on Monday night suspect the businessman had already gambled away more than 125 million of his ill-gotten gains on the blackjack tables in Las Vegas.
His company, Unimed Pharm Chem de Mexico, has been charged with illegally importing pseudoephedrine, a cold medicine ingredient.
According to court documents, the massive amount of the chemical shipped overseas was enough to produce crystal meth with a street value of more than 750 million.
“With the arrest of Zhenli Ye Gon, we’ve apprehended not only the man behind the money, but the man behind the meth,” said US Drug Enforcement Agency boss Karen Tandy.
“He may never have touched the drugs, but he made it all possible, facilitating the massive meth trade by brokering chemicals to kingpins,” she added.
Ye Gon, who claims he has been framed by corrupt Mexican politicians, was ordered jailed without bail when he appeared in US District Court in Washington on Tuesday.
His lawyers claimed that Ye Gon was merely safeguarding 160 million of the cash that was raised as a ‘slush fund’ to fight the Mexican presidential election.
Well at least we know that this bust may put a bit of a bite in the Meth market temporarily…Who keeps $200 Million dollars in cash at their house? Buy a house or a yacht or something.

The Evolution Of A Baby Panda
Dark Roasted Blend has some amazing photos of a baby panda growing from birth to about 3 months old.
The photos were taken at China’s Wolong Reserve.
A record 30 surviving giant pandas were born at breeding centers and zoos around the world in 2006. Last year, cubs born at the National Zoo and at the San Diego Zoo helped set the previous record of 25 surviving panda cubs. In 2004, only nine cubs survived.
At two breeding centers and a zoo in China, artificially inseminated pandas gave birth to 31 cubs, of which 27 survived. A cub born at Zoo Atlanta and the twins born in Japan bring the total to 30.
Natural reproduction is rare among pandas in captivity. Efforts to breed pandas by artificial insemination date back to the 1960s. A major breakthrough occurred in 1980, when scientists mastered the freezing of panda sperm in liquid hydrogen, which preserves it until females are able to become pregnant, just two or three days a year. Other advances include improved artificial insemination techniques and increased knowledge of pandas, in particular their nutrition needs, hormone patterns, genes, and behavior.
Thanks to artificial insemination, more than 90 pandas have been born and survived at the Wolong Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center since 1983.
The newborn panda weighs only 100 grams at birth (the fully grown animal weighs up to 160 kilos) and remains without black/white coloration for the whole first month of its life.
These photos are not all the same baby, but a collaboration of different Pandas growing and getting stronger.
