Clubbin' : Toddler Style

At Foundation Nightclub in Minneapolis, Minnesota, there usually is a 21- plus rule like every other club in the U.S. But now that rule goes out the window as kids as young as 6 months can now go clubbin' with their parents. To the beat of many disco and 1980's songs, such as "Stayin' Alive" and "Rock with you" by Michael Jackson. The concept was started by a mom in Philadelphia, where this Baby Loves Disco sells out a popular nightclub many weekends. It soon caught the attention of many music producers and soon spread to 16 cities.

I think this is kind of wierd but if you want something to do with your toddler and they are full of energy, this might be the perfect solution.

Seacreast: Gay or Uber Gay?

"In a 2003 interview, Seacrest answered gay rumors in an interview with the weekly entertainment magazine Steppin' Out [1]:
I'm trying to think of the best way to describe the feeling I get when I hear that particular rumor. I am a certain way. I am relatively clean-cut and I do like to shop for clothes. If I had to break it down stereotypically, that would be a gay male habit. Well for me it's not. It's a straight male habit.
In May 2006, Teri Hatcher insinuated Seacrest was gay on Late Show with David Letterman. Earlier in the evening, a gag with Mother's Day gifts included a diamond studded heart which read 'I'm gay.' When Letterman asked 'Whose type do you think he is?', she responded 'I think there was a Mother's Day gift that he should buy,' referring to the earlier joke.
On an episode of On Air with Ryan Seacrest, where Gene Simmons of KISS was a guest, Simmons said that he was going to become a rabbi but then he saw a girl jumprope and he changed his mind. Simmons then asked Seacrest if he went 'that way'; Seacrest replied that he went 'both ways.' There was then an awkward moment of silence, implying that Seacrest may be bisexual."

Lousy Steriod Using Americans!

Tests show that some of the testosterone in Floyd Landis' system at the Tour de France was synthetic and not naturally produced by his body as he claimed, according to a newspaper report.

The French antidoping lab testing the American cyclist's samples determined that some of the hormone came from an external source, The New York Times reported on its Web site Monday night, citing a person at the International Cycling Union with knowledge of the result.

A confirmation of the result would undermine the defense that Landis has stood behind since he tested positive for an abnormally high ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone in one sample taken following the 17th stage of the Tour de France, where he staged a stirring comeback in the Alps to make up for a poor performance the day before.

Band-Aid bandit captured

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The Band-Aid Bandit -- a stick-up artist who robbed 40 Florida banks over the past 5« years, often while wearing on a bandage on his cheek -- was finally captured Thursday, authorities said.

Rafael Angel Rondon, 50, was arrested at his home in Clermont and charged with three of the holdups attributed to the Band-Aid Bandit.

He was identified by his license plate, which was captured on surveillance cameras outside a Pinellas Park bank robbed last week, authorities said. Also, authorities said Rondon's handprint was found at the scene of what was believed to be the bandit's first robbery, committed in 2000.

The Band-Aid Bandit sometimes carried a silver-colored revolver, and made off with about half a million dollars. Investigators said Rondon used a bandage in many robberies to cover a mole on this left cheek.

Before detectives started calling him the Band-Aid Bandit, he was known as the Beer Belly Bandit.

Agents also arrested 54-year-old Emeregildo Roman on charges he joined the Band-Aid Bandit in several of the robberies.

Rookie Liriano replaces Conteras on AL All-Star roster

Sweet!

Rookie sensation Francisco Liriano is headed to the All-Star Game after all.


Liriano was certainly deserving of the honor. He is 10-1 with a 1.83 ERA, allowing just 63 hits in 88 1/3 innings with 102 strikeouts.

Liriano joins two other Twins -- fellow left-hander Johan Santana and catcher Joe Mauer -- on the AL All-Star team.

Contreras is 9-0 with a 3.38 ERA but started Sunday's game against Boston and would not have been available to pitch on Tuesday.

The Connecticut Post Online - Few fear apocalypse has arrived with number 666

As of Monday afternoon, Danielle Proto of Stratford hadn't given much thought to the fact that today is the sixth day of the sixth month of the millennium's sixth year.

In other words, the date is 6-6-06, evoking the 666 number that some believe is a biblical omen of the final struggle between good and evil. �Maybe I'll stay off the roads,� said Proto, an employee at Roberto's Restaurant in Bridgeport and resident of Stratford.

Biblical scholars and historians are divided on the significance of 666, which some associate with the Antichrist.

But the so-called Number of the Beast has found a foothold in pop culture and the entertainment world has embraced it as a marketing tool. Twentieth Century Fox chose today to release its remake of the 1976 horror classic, The Omen.

Fans of the heavy metal band Slayer have declared today the National Day of Slayer, urging metalheads to crank up the volume wherever they are.
Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter chose today to release her new book, �Godless: The Church of Liberalism.� And the latest book in the apocalyptic �Left Behind� series, by the Rev. Tim LaHaye, is hitting the shelves as well.

A handful of people interviewed in downtown Bridgeport Monday were vaguely aware of the diabolical date.

But they were largely nonplussed.
�I go to church. It's the Bible, but it's nothing big,� said Carlos Granados, a native of El Salvador who works in Bridgeport. �It's just like, people make a big deal about it. It's nothing.�
Seth Lloyd of New Haven agreed. �I didn't even think about it, I don't take it seriously,” he said.
Maria Lotzko, of Seymour, shared the sentiment, but was a bit more cautious.

“I feel a little bit strange. I'm not really superstitious, but I'm one of those people where you never can tell,” she said.

The number comes from the biblical Book of Revelation, 13:18: “This calls for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six.”

Some manuscripts give the number 616, instead.

Despite the apocalyptic associations in pop culture, some scholars say 666 may be a coded reference to the tyrannical Roman Emperor Nero.

Even online gambling sites have gotten in on the action, taking bets on whether the apocalypse will happen today. The good news is, if you're worried about making it through today, BetUS.com says that the chances of an apocalypse are 100,000-to-1. According to the company's spokesman, Mike Forman, people are betting both ways.

6 6 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOOOOHHHHHHH MMMMMMAAAAAANNNNNNN IIIIITTTSSSSS 666!

todays date is June 6th, 2006 (6/6/06)
the devils number
i bet alot of people are freaking out and i heard some religious fanatics are like saying this is the beginning of the apocolypse. which is just pure bullshit. its all just religious hype. I do believe that it could be a somewhat unlucky day but so far has not been. ill post later and im gonna look for some articles about today.

iPod Wedding?

Nuvola_devices_ipod

iPod Wedding is a term coined by the wedding planning book Bridal Bargains. According to the lecture, this is a much cheaper way of turning music on during a wedding. Instead of hiring a DJ (which can cost up to $600 for one evening) or a live band (which can cost about $1000), one could use an iPod to play music on a wedding. With a programmed playlist and a wide variety of songs and a pair of speakers, it doesn't take the bride and groom a lot of effort to be the DJ of their own wedding. An iPod that can carry enough music to entertain wedding guests is available from $300. According to Bridal Bargains, this way of entertaining family and friends with music is gaining popularity in the USA.

What's this Trans Fat thing?

1. vegetable oil that has been treated with hydrogen in order to make it more solid and give it a longer shelf life.

2. Trans fat is a type of processed fat that does not occur in nature (also called hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fat/oil). Used in baked goods like doughnuts, breads, crackers, potato chips, cookies and many other processed food products like margarine and salad dressings.

3. A trans fatty acid (commonly shortened to trans fat) is an unsaturated fatty acid whose molecules contain trans double bonds between carbon atoms, which makes the molecules less kinked compared to those of 'cis fat'. Research suggests a correlation between diets high in trans fats and diseases like atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. The National Academy of Sciences recommended in 2002 that dietary intake of trans fatty acids be minimized.
