This is how I know our society is completely down the crapper. This piggy bank is sold on a website targeted for young girls. They also sell a ridiculous amount of pink stuff and young teenager magazines such as Seventeen... All women of my generation or younger know that only less than 16 year olds read this...

ok... I don't really know what to think about these... First and foremost, I would be concerned with putting them in my eyes. Please click on the pictures to get a larger view.
Oh! I can't wait! Everybody pay attention to physorg tomorrow! FINALLY, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be set in motion to accelerate sub-atomic particles to almost the speed of light and hopefully smash them together.
Bf, bf's parents, and I went to Hilton Head for vacation a couple of weeks ago! We had lots of fun eating seafood and frolicking around the beach and pool.
Sugaring Hair Removal Recipe· 2 cups sugar
· 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice (vinegar may also work, although I haven't tested it)
· 1/4 cup water
1. Combine all ingredients and bring just to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until mixture has turned a rich amber color.2. Lift the saucepan off the heat occasionally so that the bubbles will calm down and you can keep an eye on the color. It gives off a nice cooked lemon sort of aroma when it's finished.
3. Move off the heat and allow the mixture to partially cool in the pot until it begins to thicken (about 15 minutes).
4. Pour the mixture into an air-tight container and allow to cool fully before handling. There you go! You just made your own, at home, quick and easy hair removal potion! After using you can place the formula into your fridge.
Now, you can use it in either two ways. You can either use the wax warm or cold. I personally prefer to use this warm.

This is seriously strange. There is a huge candidate that is missing in our news: Ron Paul. Now LOTS of people know of him because he is indeed very promising. In spite of beating out Giuliani in some states, he is not being reported on television. Many bloggers have praised him but there is NO visibility of him in traditional media.
If you look closely, the shadows of the skull do not match the rest of the picture. Later, they found the picture that it resulted from:
It was actually just the excavation of a mastadon by some Cornell students in New York.
Since then, Jade has been shunted from home to home, living sometimes at the home of a foreign missionary or at a welfare center. Since September, three people including a South Korean woman married to an American and a Hong Kong resident of North Korean descent have expressed interest in adopting Jade. But their wishes were frustrated due to complicated adoption requirements. Jade was for some reason not given Dutch citizenship by her adoptive parents, nor does she have residence rights in Hong Kong. She cannot speak Korean, only English and Cantonese.
The case made international headlines when the Hong Kong and Dutch press published the story together with the names and photographs of Raymond Poeteray (55) and his wife. Dutch daily De Telegraaf said Jade had been discarded like “a piece of household rubbish.'" The South China Morning Post of Hong Kong on Saturday carried an interview with an Indonesian woman who worked as a nanny for Jade in Jakarta, where Poeteray was posted before coming to Hong Kong, in 2004. She said the couple treated Jade quite differently from their own children and the woman rarely hugged the girl.
Hilbrand Westra, a coordinator for United Adoptees International Netherlands, said the Dutch government was now responsible for the girl's fate and welfare. Global Overseas Adoptees' Link (GOAL) urged both the South Korean and Dutch governments to conduct a thorough investigation, saying, "Children are not refundable. Adoption is a lifelong promise."
The Poeterays have written to the Telegraaf in their defense. "After our daughter came to our family we found it was hard to make real contact with her... in 2004 Hong Kong medical specialists diagnosed that she suffered from fear of bonding in a severe form," they wrote. "Despite what was written in the media we are not trying to get rid of our daughter and have not formally given her up.”
But the Dutch Foreign Ministry last Friday temporarily recalled Poeteray, a vice consul at the Consulate General. A spokesman for the ministry said the matter was “a private and domestic matter” and there were no legal concerns. However, the decision was apparently triggered by to the glare of international media attention.
Meanwhile, Korean residents in Hong Kong are furious. They are demanding the Poeterays tell the whole truth or the Dutch government apologize. They also urged the South Korean government to treat the matter as a diplomatic issue.
It is amazing how cold some people are. They just totally ruined a little girl's sense of home and family.

Ukrainian photographer, Yevgeny Khaldei, didn’t just stage this photo of Soviet troops raising the flag over the Reichstag in 1945 (the first flag had gone up after dusk). He also heightened the smoke and removed the two watches from the wrists of the soldier on the lower left. Good Soviet soldiers don’t loot.
And Oprah Winfrey might not have complained about this August 1989 cover of TV Guide either. It’s Oprah’s head all right but according to CNet.com the body belongs to actress Ann-Margret. Ann-Margret’s fashion designer recognized the dress and spotted the fakery.
The collage was a dirty trick designed to derail John Kerry’s campaign.
