Abercrombie & Fitch sues Beyonce over Sasha Fierce perfume {Daily Finance}
Sep 18th 2009 9:13AM I once worked in a kid store above an Ambercrombie and Fitch store. We would have parties in our store and would have to tell the kids not to be afraid because of the vibrations in the floor from the music of the store below. I had walked down to A & F several times and asked them to turn down there music. First I had to find someone to talk to. Then wait for them to notice me istead of just talking to themselves (including the manager) and then I was told they couldnt turn down the music because of store policy. I have good hearing and just trying to walk through the store hurt my ears. The store I worked at lost business because of children being afraid of the loud noises and rumbling of the floor from the music. I dont understand how people can see that what they did was right.
Antiques Roadshow To Feature First Million-Dollar Appraisal {Luxist}
Jun 30th 2009 6:20PM I would like to say that I am 24 years old and love going to antique shops. I mostly look at the nick nacks but also enjoy some of the furniture you can find. I myself am in possession of a full size modified bay window caboose. I am interested in collecting origional objects that can be found in a caboose during the time it was in use. Anyone who has any leads as to the tools or a floor plan for a NYC N-7 bay window caboose please email me at kpilker@aol.com.

Jun 18th 2009 5:13PM My father has a dog that when she gets excited she goes into our mudroom and takes a shoe and prances aroud the house with it until someone asks for the shoe back. If no one see her she will eventuatlly drop the shoe some where and forgets about it. Its only frustrating when she nabs both shes and hide them some where in the house when you get to go somewhere.
Colonel's secret ingredient for KFC grilled chicken? Beef {WalletPop}
Jun 18th 2009 1:46AM In your comment you say that MSG cannot be used in baby food. Neither can honey. Oddly enough the stuff that can kill an infant/baby can be eaten by children and adults with no side effect. Yes MSG is not the best thing to ingest.
I will admit that I have never had the KGC yet but when making chicken at home I use all sorts of seasonings. Beef has a stronge flavor and is used to flavor other foods.
Valedictorian's Commencement Speech Censored - What Exactly Did She Say? {ParentDish}
Jun 6th 2009 9:19PM I have spent the time to go to the other site and read both speeches. At my own graduation I didnt listen to the valedictorian speech because it was dull. They say the speech is supposed to inspire the graduating class to get out there and do something. We know that even before we graduate. Reading the rewritten speech this young lady had to write does not inspire me at all. I also remember more of the origional speech than that of the rewritten one. If something is supposed to inspire me to do something, shouldnt it be something that stays in my mind? Shouldnt this type of speech be ingrained in my mind even 10 years later? I understand tradition. Some traditions should be treasured. But they also have to conform to the times. Who cares if this woman is going to Harvard or to a local community college. She worked hard for those four years. I was someone who believed in doing a good job and doing it right. I got screwed because I did. What this young woman was telling this graduating class and the rest of the audience is that you were children when you started school and now you are adults. The future is yours, wether you go head first into the world or take a little wime finding your true calling. Bottom line is how many people remember their own speeches at their graduating ceremonies? And how many of you were inspired by a speech that was so dull you no longer remember it? This young woman did something the world has forgotten. Dont lie to somebody that their life is always going to be wonderful. She told it how it is.
Obama in Good Company on D-Day {Politics Daily}
Jun 6th 2009 3:06PM Why do you only have collateral dead Iraqis listed in this. What about the number of enemy combatants? During this entire war all I have seen is the numbers of collateral deaths. Yes it is terrible that those people died. But my real question is ... How many of those deaths were a result of our American forces? How many of those people actually picked up a weapon to fire on American forces but counted as civilians? You like to quote numbers but only for one side.
As for what Obama did, it was good. I am not a fan of his but I will stand behind someone, if even for a few seconds, that puts this country first and formost. I will stand behind someone who can say what he said when they believe it. God bless America.
NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study {Switched.com}
Jun 6th 2009 1:04PM In response to Greg... What I mean is does the body rely only on gravity to move blood in the body? I do relize that gravity does have an effect on the flow of blood. Also when I think about it, the participant would also be at risk for developing bed sores and clots.
Jeff Sessions Annoyed By Crying Child {Politics Daily}
Jun 6th 2009 12:39PM I agree with swearingcrows. This man does not hide his feelings like everyone wants everyone else to do. He was put into this position to do a job. To enforce the laws which govern this nation. By having empathy for someone who breeaks the law only makes it impossible to pass a judgement that the law states. If an official, no matter what his job is, does not follow what the laws dictate, then he should be thrown out of his position. He is there to serve the people, but serves the people by enforcing the law. Why must we give the rights of AMERICAN CITIZENS to those who break the law and are NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS.
#1 Surprising Reason Men Said They Chose Their Wife {Personal Articles}
Jun 5th 2009 9:25PM I have been labeled "the nice guy". I always thought it was a put down. Never could get past that stage, but I also think that the person I went on a date with was the opposite. I do agree that CHIVALRY is all but dead and I have oticed that people who are kind to others are put down by those that are not. I do not understand why such basics are lost in this world now.
NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study {Switched.com}
Jun 4th 2009 8:10PM Does blood flow in the human body rely on gravity? If not, then this study would not be able to simulate a zero gravity enviroment on the humen body. If I am wronge, I stand corrected. Also, do the astronauts not have some form of exercise equiptment? To properly simulate bone and muscle loss, the participant would also have use of elastic bands to work the legs and arms.
