Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy pictorial leaks online (UPDATE)

Newt Gingrich: Life Does Not Begin Until Implantation

by on December 3, 2011

In an interview with ABC News, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said he believes that life doesn’t begin until implantation. Science, though, has proven that life begins earlier, at fertilization.1

Gingrich said: “I think the question of being implanted is a very big question. my friends who have ideological positions that sound good don’t then follow through the logic of: ‘So how many additional potential lives are they talking about? What are they going to do as a practical matter to make this real?’”

He added: “I think that if you take a position when a woman has fertilized egg and that’s been successfully implanted that now you’re dealing with life.” He concluded that “otherwise you’re going to open up an extraordinary range of very difficult questions.”

Gingrich falsely described the scientific position that life begins at fertilization as “ideological.” He then questioned the logic of the scientific position, using an illogical argument to defend his own unscientific position.

First, Gingrich incorrectly labeled human life at fertilization as merely “potential” life. But zygotes, embryos, and fetuses, just like children, adolescents, and adults, are human lives at different stages of development. and zygotes, embryos, and fetuses are human lives even if not legally recognized as human lives. So we’re not talking about potential lives, we’re talking about existing lives.

Second, he based his belief, and his position, on a strategic analysis of the consequences. But the consequences don’t change the fact of when human life begins.

Gingrich spoke of avoiding “difficult questions.” Coming from someone running for the highest office in the land, this is telling.

A true leader tackles difficult questions.

Google Buzz Could Help Your Affiliate Marketing and Internet Marketing Efforts

by on October 15, 2011

Search engine giant Google has released a new Web 2.0-style service called Google Buzz. The service combines features like a comment stream for your followers, the ability to follow others, and a profile page to give you more exposure. so how does that help your Internet marketing or affiliate marketing efforts?

Let’s start with the obvious – it gives you another avenue of exposure, helping you brand yourself wider online and hopefully get your message in front of additional new prospects. Any time you can find a major site that lets you add your name, photo and bio, including your marketing information, is bound to help add to our overall online presence as a marketer, right?

Less obvious to newbie marketers is that it helps magnify the effects of tools you’re already using. Because Google Buzz lets you add your Twitter stream and your Blog’s RSS feed, it’s almost instantly additional exposure for your blog marketing and Twitter marketing activities.

With it’s Twitter-like system of following and followers, our stream only appears to those who choose to follow you on Google Buzz and those who visit your profile page. As such, this now presents one more way to get your internet marketing and affiliate marketing message, and links, out in front of another targeted audience. No doubt Google hopes that Buzz will grow to the size of, or larger than Facebook. Think of how much additional exposure this could mean for your marketing if that does come to pass?

But like any such opportunity, you’ll have to work to build your following at Google Buzz, especially in the early days of the service. use the same advanced Twitter marketing strategies you used to build your Twitter following and keep it targeted for optimum results.

One aspect particular to the online Web 2.0 sites is that no one can predict which services will flounder and which will grow wildly – the actions of the potential audience are the sole determining factor – whether they choose to sign up for the site, use it regularly or abandon it. so as online marketers, we have to give it a shot with each of those showing the most potential if we want to be sure and get a great position in those that make it to the top.

For the sake of an hour’s investment of time, don’t risk your affiliate marketing or Internet marketing efforts being weakened by your competitors getting in and building a following first. Add Google Buzz into your online marketing toolbox and with time it may just grow to be a very powerful marketing weapon in your online arsenal

Michigan football captains Molk, Martin and Koger honored to lead Wolverines in 2011

by on September 3, 2011

Michigan tight end Kevin Koger, 86, celebrates with offensive linemen David Molk and Mark Huyge after scoring a touchdown at Penn State last season. Koger, Molk and defensive tackle Mike Martin were named the Wolverines’ 2011 team captains on Sunday.

“when you walk in and go through the building you see that big wall of all the old captains — and those guys are just well-respected,” Molk said Monday. “They’ve done great things in and outside of football, and it’s a good group to be a part of. and it’s something I knew I wanted to be a part of.”

Molk, Martin and Koger will become Michigan’s first trio of captains since 2003, and while all three responded to the news in different ways — each said Monday that when they heard their names called, they were humbled and honored.

In Koger’s case, there was also a bit of shock.

“We were in the team meeting room, everybody voted, everybody got a ballot and voted — I actually thought we were going to come back (Monday) and find out, but they left the room, counted them, came back in and told us,” said Koger, who wouldn’t reveal who he cast his vote for — just that it wasn’t for himself. “It was sort of surprising. I didn’t expect it. … I was honored to get it and it took me by surprise.”Martin, who said he’s always tried to model himself after former captain and defensive line standout Brandon Graham, echoed the statements of his fellow captains and classmates.

He also explained how it’s important for the entire senior class to continue to push the rest of the roster as it begins a new era of Michigan football under first-year coach Brady Hoke, explaining that the team needs more than just three captains to lead day in and day out.

“Coach has always said, if he has to lead every single day, then this team won’t be good,” Martin said. “He needs guys like the seniors and upperclassmen to (lead) and coach guys up.

“Coach can be looking at everyone at the same time. Coach guys up in between drills. take them aside and tell them what they need to do to get better. that helps, it gives guys a different perspective on how to get better.”

In Molk, Martin and Koger, Hoke has three captains that have started a combined 72 career games.

Molk has seen three coaching staffs. Koger has managed to become one of the squad’s most respected players despite playing a position that was hardly used under former coach Rich Rodriguez. Martin has been asked to play a key role in a changing defensive scheme since his true freshman season and has been one of the few consistencies defensively for the Wolverines since 2008.

It’s a group that’s been through and seen a lot during their time – and one that Hoke says is a strong representation of the senior class as a whole.

“I think our players understand that our seniors will always be our leaders,” said Hoke, who said he will meet with his senior class each Sunday and Thursday and his captains periodically throughout the season. “and with Mike on defense, Kevin Koger and David Molk on offense — all three have demonstrated an ability to lead. all three bring a lot to our football team – (both when) you look at the leadership roles that they’ll play and the roles they’ll have from a production standpoint.”

The captain’s wall just got larger by three names. Molk, Martin and Koger will forever be linked to the 2011 Michigan football team.

And now, the only unanswered question is how that link will look.

“(It’s) a new team,” Molk said. “A new season, it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Adrianne Curry “Carnivores”

by on May 12, 2011

Adrianne Curry born (6 Aug 1982). Adrianne Curry is an American model. Adrianne Curry is best known as the first winner of the reality TV series America’s Next Top Model known.I think it’s a wonderful thing to eat when choosing a person, not made of meat. I would never think to laugh or tear of a person who made that choice for themselves. so why are they always on my ass? I am a girl who loves her Midwest Grill. I force myself to eat vegetables because I hate them, so a vegan card for me. but vegetarians always seem to attract the all-powerful card with me and eat my face, flesh. I attended a photo shoot once quiet reflection during my break and eating a hamburger. My makeup for the day approached me and ream as bout meat to eat, all the time I ate!

Call me crazy, but one would think that if a person you want to understand their cause, they would be friendly to you .. information, etc. no, I never had as a vegan. I always get nut jobs. it almost reminds me of terrorists! This is one of the many reasons I can not support PETA. I do not fear tactics. I do not think that you or your cause exists, the better, in fact, most people want to listen to you automatically. Recently, it was about who betrayed the beautiful Jessica Simpson Pam Anderson to wear “Real Girls Eat Meat” T-shirt. it was called a bitch and a whore. Now I love Pam, but if they wanted to contribute to Jessica on the “other side” perhaps they should show some mercy and offered useful knowledge for Jessica? there is nothing to me excites more than if I have two women drooling over many years on the arm. I think they should have sex and do …. in front of me.

Why is this happening? why are people who probably want more people to join because of pressure thirteen people make harangues? Also, I respect people who decide not to eat meat. I can not. Smelly watery feces was enough to put me out of it after only trying it for 2 weeks. I would sneak around and not looked healthy. That’s me. Bravo to those who can do it, though. why am I torn to make the choice to eat meat? I love animals too, and because I do, I also respect the mother Nature and the food chain. Since the dawn of humanity that we hunted and gathered. it turned out that companies in the past that had a diet of meat (less carbohydrates, vegetables) had better teeth. Carbohydrates and vegetables actually cause cavities! there are great arguments on both sides, but I’m not hear to argue. I’m listening to a question. If you think someone what you want and then forward. why you beat them first? it makes people insensitive to your cause.

    • Seussical ThingsNational Read across America Day is celebrated on March 2 in honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday.

    Theodor Seuss Geisel adopted the name Dr. Seuss, but also went by the pen names Rosetta Stone and Theo LeSieg.

    Seuss drew more than 400 anti-Fascist editorial cartoons during World War II.

    his first children’s book “And to Think That I saw It on Mulberry Street” was rejected 27 times before Seuss found a publisher.

    Seuss was inspired to write his book “Cat in the Hat” after an illiteracy report found that children weren’t learning to read because the books were boring.

“Look! It’s the Thing!” a student cried as a blue -haired, red-romper-suited creature padded down the halls of Smith Elementary School.

“No, that’s miss Brown,” another student said.

“I’m not miss Brown! I’m Thing 2 today,” reading instructor Dolly Brown replied, grinning beneath her frizzy blue wig.

Wednesday was the 107th birthday of Dr. Seuss, and the students and teachers of Smith Elementary School turned out to celebrate the man and the books that every kid knows by heart.

Brown organized the event, working for weeks to coordinate a day where community members came to read to the kids, and everyone ate a breakfast of green eggs and ham.

Victoria financial advisor Rodney Horelka stood before a fourth grade class reading one of his favorite Seuss books, “Happy Birthday to you!”

The students listened as Horelka rattled off the offbeat rhymes and clapped when he finished.

“I think it’s important to encourage kids to read, so I came out to be a part of this,” Horelka said.

Brown said she thought it was a good idea to celebrate Seuss, since children of all ages love his books.

“He was trying to make reading fun for our kids by creating these books and 107 years later it’s safe to say he did a good job,” Brown said.

The day also featured a parade and a costume contest.

Savannah Chavez, 7, entered the contest dressed as the character Sally from “Cat in the Hat.”

“It’s my favorite book and I wanted to dress up to look like her,” Savannah said, smiling.

The students paraded through the halls as “Dr. Seuss” music played over the loudspeaker.

Parent Charlie Garcia said he liked the program the school put together to celebrate Seuss.

“It’s fun. It really encourages the kids to read by having something like this,” Garcia said.

Fifth-grader Rene Rodriguez said he thought it was fun to have a day celebrating all things Seussical.

“Dr. Seuss is one of my favorite people. he writes awesome books, they’ve always been my favorites and I’ve always liked them,” Rene said. “This a lot of fun.”
