Last time we heard from Beanie Sigel, he was guzzling shots of Patron with Diddy and posturing in three-piece suits on penthouse rooftops. Not out of the ordinary for the presentation of a rapper, but a far cry from the gulliest voice of Philly since John Street. While the former Roc-A-Fella soldiers scramble to find that missing link in their chain gang, Sigel is back to serve the block for the time being with his fifth studio recording, The Broad Street Bully , in conjunction with Siccness Records .

During 2008 the American book and magazine industry sector was responsible for the felling of 125 million trees. A lot of publishers are environmentally aware and use sustainably sourced wood pulp for their paper. Simply put, they plant a tree for every one they cut down. However, not all do this and even those who do usually neglect to take account of the enormous quantities of water and thermal energy employed in the paper making process. The carbon footprint of the typical book is 7.5 kg of CO2 during its lifetime.

August 28th, 2009 Goto commentsLeave a comment So I was hanging out with this 3 year old the other day (that’s a whole other story), and while we were going wild at the playground, I was informed by this very confident 3 year old that, “Pirates are bad.”I was aghast, deeply disturbed, and even slightly befuddled. What is this world coming to when 3 year olds think pirates are bad? Well, I’ll have you know I got to work setting that child straight right away. I told her I was a pirate.

Dear Dr. Carol,We would like to take a moment, and thank you, for being a compassionate veterinarian, during Harleys’ battle with end stage cancer. Harley lost his battle on June 26th, 2009. Harley lived almost 6 weeks past his unexpected terminal diagnosis. As compassionate pet owners, and nurses we opted to not treat Harley with chemotherapy. With that decision, his prognosis was reduced to days for survival. Devastated by the news; we looked to you, Dr. Carol for a holistic approach.

Jackie from Oklahoma would like to share her train travel memories with others and has sent in this article (and photos) for publication: The trip of a lifetime finally took place when my best friend and I traveled from Oklahoma City to Culpeper, Virginia. We departed Oklahoma City on the Heartland Flyer and headed south to Fort Worth, Texas where we caught the Texas Eagle to Chicago. We had a bedroom, which was located on the upper level of the Superliner Sleeping Car.

The start of the new school year is always exciting — and particularly exciting for those of you who will be living away from home for the first time.

They were wronged, and now everyone knows. Legal Steroids A bunch of judges got together Wednesday and told us so.No one was ever supposed to know they were juiced when they were hitting all those home runs just a few years back. Not Bud Selig, and certainly not the clubs paying them millions of dollars to slug balls out of the park. It was all supposed to be a secret. And it would have been if those pesky federal investigators hadn’t tried to find out what was really going on in baseball.They wanted answers, and they weren’t going to get them from the players.

Every year each one of us wait for Christmas, particularly the little kids who are captivated by the hustle and bustle of Christmas festivity and awestruck by the magic associated with this period of the year. Can you think of the time approaching Christmas Eve when you prepare a glass of milk and a plate of cookies for Santa Claus? Those were the days, weren’t they? Gifts are amongst the finest parts of Christmas. People save up so that they can give their friends and family something extraordinary.

Seriously. As you all know, I am STILL without home computer access and thus desperately casting around for things to do.  (Have I complained about that yet today?)  Among other things, I’ve seen a hell of a lot of HGTV and the Food Network. And during my fiftieth Good Eats rerun, what did I see?  An ad for the Food Network’s new show “What Would Brian Boitano Make?”No, seriously.  Could I make something like this up?  Apparently the show just debuted (Sundays at 1 pm Eastern) and is an actual cooking show centering around a champion figure skater.

Courtesy of The College Politico, who captures Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)’s quick-witted reply to a heckler at her contentious town-hall forum on health care. Bachmann held up a stack of headlines about the health-care crisis in the UK, especially a report about how 4,000 women had to give birth in corridors due to a resource shortage in the NHS. When the heckler tries to disrupt her, Bachmann offers her version of Complete Moral Authority:“I’ve probably given birth more times than you, sir.”I’d say.

Forget about doggie day care, spas and designer clothes. According to a recent national survey of American dog owners, the majority say they are pampering their pooches with more simple pleasures, including belly rubs, walks and games of fetch. The survey, which was conducted by ALPO® brand dog food, reveals that just two percent of dog owners say they have ever pampered their pooches by taking them to a doggie spa and only one percent say they have ever pampered their dog with a professional massage.

I had a great Live Meeting with a customer day where we discussed how Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 and the MS Roundtable device is helping them in their organization…and I have to say it was one of the most positive chats I’ve had with a customer for quite a while!

Jaycee Dugard Kept In Sheds For 18 Years, from the time she was an 11 years old, until she was a 29 year old woman with two children.
