Travel gear: How to pack a pair of shoes without a plastic bag {Gadling}
Jul 28th 2010 2:33PM This is not news. I have been using shoe bags for years. Grew up in Pa. and most people just made them with a couple of dollars worth of cheap yardgoods, cord and of course thread. It takes probably 20 min. at most to make a couple and only costs about $10 for two or three. Don't us e stretchy material because it is too hard to sew with. Often someone who sewed would make a bunch out of pretty colors etc. and give them to all the female cousins as a little Christmas gift.
New Jay Leno Ad Takes a Dig at Conan {PopEater}
Feb 19th 2010 3:25PM I don't know why people are blaming Jay Leno for Conan's failure.
Conan is the bad guy here. He is the one who would not sign a contract unless he got the Tonight Show in 5 years. NBC went along and Conan got what he wanted. Jay was gracious and supportive. Conan failed. Yes, it takes time to build an audience base. It took Jay 18 months to beat Letterman. However, Jay started with a small base and built an audience base. Each month his ratings got a little better and he eventually beat Letterman. Conan started with a base and went down and down and down. Conan insisted Leno be fired so he could have Leno's job. Then he fails miserably at the job but still walks away with millions. Why is anyone feeling sorry for Conan? If there are so many of you Conan fans out there, Where were you? Why were his ratings so low?
Baltimore Cop vs. Skateboarding Teen {AOL Video Blog}
Feb 17th 2008 1:35AM These boys were skateboarding where it was prohibited so they were breaking the law and the officer had the right to deal with them. On top of that, they gave the officer a hard time. Apparently, their parents did not teach them to obey the law or respect their elders. The cop did not hurt this kid; he just scared them a little. He unfortunately had to discipline these boys because their parents didn't do so.
Funeral Not a Good Enough Excuse for Vikings {Fanhouse NFL Blog}
Nov 9th 2007 6:55PM I understand how this player felt and congratulate him for giving up pay to take care of family matters. However, as a teacher,we were only allowed 3 days bereavement for a grandparent. If we needed more, we had to use personal days, sick days or lose pay. My husband's company only gave two days for a grandparent's funeral etc/, then he would have to use vacation days. The Vikings were just following normal business procedures.
