Happy Mothers Day
to all of you mothers out there...
I also want to give out some special mothers day hugs to
my mother
and some extra special hugs and kisses to my
lovely wife
the day wouldn't have been the same without either of you!
I have just received an official email from Lisa Love (Vice president of University Athletics) that as of yesterday April 30th ASU’s Marketing Department has decided due to recent events of inappropriate behavior by the Cheer Squad (link to this post was enclosed in email), THEY DECIDED TO CUT THE CHEER PROGRAM COMPLETELY.
They get kicked off because some pictures of them in their underwear got posted on the internet?
I mean, I wouldn't like to see my kid in this picture, but kicking someone off the a team for this??
I really hope there are other reasons that what the story indicates... otherwise it seems that the righteousness of some people in leadership positions are getting a bit more skewed in my opinion...
Would the do the same to the football team if they got their picture (in their underwear) posted on the internet? I would guess not...
You be the judge... should they get kicked off the cheer leading team for this?
Racy or not?
Don't forget to check your kids homework... and no it wasn't Juliannas work :-)

Another one you should check out...
Found this one via vilkatta (norwegian) blog
Spring is here.
Another spring sign, maybe not as welcome...Taken with my cell phone on a walk with the dog. My yard isn't quite as bad, at least I don't have as much weed...
Two person band with some great music...
So I finally got one of those emails too... you know, the one that promises millions as soon as you give up some personal info... in the words of the famous jedi... spam this is...
So if you get a similar email to the one below... do what needs to be done, send it to the trash...
Can you see a couple of things that make this email suspect without even reading the message?

Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA)
Dear Sir,
I know that this e-mail will come to you as a surprise since we don’t know each other before now but permit me to use this medium to contact you. For the purpose of introduction, I am Mr. Luis Koza the Manager Private Investment branch of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA)
One of our clients (Mr. Johan Anderson) died in 21st July 2001 and left an investment with us up to the tune of US$5Million without any next of kin. Our records proves as much. Furthermore, he also has an investment portfolio with Barclays Bank of United Kingdom worth £10million.
Because my bank (ABSA) is affiliated with Barclays Bank and we oversee all his financial investment, I am aware of these funds.
Usually, any financial investment that is dormant for a certain period of time is taken into the bank’s treasury as an unclaimed bill. My bank being aware of the death of Mr. Anderson and the non-provision of next of kin is proposing to term these funds as unclaimed bill. This prompted me to act. I went and discussed with the personal attorney of Mr. Johan Anderson and we agreed to enter into business with you.
Here is your proposed role in this business:
Provision of an Off-shore account where we could transfer these funds. The account could be your personal or company’s account; it does not matter.
Acting as the next of kin to Mr. Johan Anderson (late). To this, we are going to work it out with the personal attorney of Mr. Johan Anderson in the most legal way possible.
Please, if your are interested, get back to me as soon as you read this mail so that we could discuss and agree on the percentage entitlement to every party involved and actually commence the transaction in order to accomplish it before the end of this fiscal quarter when the Board of Directors of my bank will sit again.
Expecting your prompt positive response.
Best regards,
Mr. Luis Koza.
Some cut and past posting, but something to think about ...
Sometimes you think you're untouchable
Just look behind you, you are but a man
Sometimes you think things can't get worse
Just look behind you, you are but a man
So eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow you may be dead
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow you may be dead
The struggle for life you know never ends
So look behind you, you are but a man
Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Look behind you, you are but a man
So eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow you may be dead
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow you may be dead
Realise we share the same fate
Understand your own mortality
Our lives are getting shorter every day
Pretty soon there will be no you and me
So eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow you may be dead
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow you may be dead
Sieze the day, you know it's gonna end
Look behind you, you are but a man
Dance footloose across the earth
And look behind you, you are but a man
So eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow you may be dead
Eat, drink and be merry
For tomorrow you may be dead
[The Bastard Fairies, Memento Mori Lyrics ]
Working from home the other day, I turned on the TV, just in time to hear this commercial about the Phazer radar jammer that was guaranteed to block any police radar. Furthermore they continue to state that if someone should get a ticket, they would pay it [1] . Now, after this being said, they come with a disclaimer where they state: We do not condone speeding or using the radar jammer as a way to speed while driving… or as they say on the website:.
Rocky Mountain Radar does not endorse speeds in excess of the posted speed limits. Please drive carefully.
This is what gets me!! What other uses are there for a product like this? Looking for good parking spots??
They also claim that is it a legal product, something that really makes me doubt the reliability of this product… I mean face it, if it worked do you really think that it would be legal to use? As they claim ?
My advice to anyone considering buying one of these jammers...DON'T
Based on what I have seen and read about it, it's a sham!
Now, I'm not one of the slow drivers out there, but there is no way I would rely on a piece of equipment that doesn't work to protect me from getting a speeding ticket...
I'd rather continue as I do now, keep an eye at the traffic around me... how they behave etc...
The guy on this website (http://www.radarjammer.com/get-5000/index.htm ), Roy, is so convinced that these products have no effect what so ever in blocking the radar/laser signal that he is offering a $5,000.00 reward for ANYONE that can so him one that does.
Final, here are a few quotes from around the web regarding this "fine" piece of equipment.
It's a Felony!
Costly Radar Jammer problems.
FAQ: Is it a federal felony to jam, or attempt to jam, police radar guns?
YES: In December of 1977, the FCC banned the use of both active and passive radar products and accessories.
You could be fined thousands of dollars and be jailed. READ NOW
Jammers are transmitters. Transmitters require an FCC license at microwave frequency, which is where radar works.
Unless one has the license, they are illegal. If you buy one in a retail store and it doesn't require a license, it's a rip off.
I have confiscated a few. No one ever came looking for them.
The El Paso Better Business Bureau and the United States Federal Trade Commission have a large number of complaints that have been filed against the manufacture of the Phazer by customers. These complaints range from false and misleading advertising, not paying the ticket guarantee they offer, and not refunding money when products were returned. You can view these complaints click here.
