I came across this article and it has a lot of information about setting up your "genealogy tool box" so you can access your genealogy information from any computer.   Check it out.  You will have to download it, it's a PDF file.  I think everyone will find something that they can use in it.

Britney Spears will kick off her "The Circus starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour" in New Orleans ion March 3rd, with guests PCD.  The North American leg of the tour will wrap April 28th.  (L.A. dates - April 16th at The Staples Center, April 19th at the Honda Center in Anaheim).

 

The Disney Channel announced it has ordered more episodes of "Hannah Montana."  Season 3, which kicked off November 2nd, is still in production.  It is slated to run for 24 episodes, ending May 2009.

 

Lindsay Lohan has taken to her myspace page to announce that, despite rumors, she and Samantha Ronson have not broken up.

I am getting sick and tired of seeing Jack Swagger's stupid looking grin on ECW.  Despite looking stupid, the man knows how to win I'll give him at least that.  It's a shame that Swagger's win was against Ricky Ortiz.  I was pulling for the Big O to win.  I think he would make a better number one contender than Swagger.  But if Swagger does get it, Matt Hardy will have his hands full with this guy.  Just do something about that stupid speech problem he has.  He talks with his tongue like he was a lizard or a snake.  Take some speech classes, learn how to talk without sticking out your tongue for crying out loud.  MVP's losing streak remains in tack, lol.  It's not a big secret that the guy is losing money.  You can tell even from his entrance.  No tunnel, no pyro, and very little bling bling.  For my ECW Star of the Week, I give it to Ricky Ortiz.  Even though he lost, he still gave it his all and that gets an "A" in my book.  Now we will see how he rebounds from his first lost.  For my ECW Loser of the Week, it goes to Mark Henry.  What is his problem with Finlay and Hornswaggle?  He's mad because Finlay's got the better of him on more that one occasion?  Hello!  You're the World's Fattest....I mean Strongest Man.  You were out there whining like a baby.  This the WWE, not preschool.  Now he's tricked Finlay into making a tag team match between himself and Tony Atlas versus Finlay and Hornswaggle.  What does it prove if you beat up Hornswaggle?  Nothing in my opinion.  I hope Finlay knows what he is doing.

Are you as shocked as I am to see Shawn Michaels consider JBL's offer to work for him? There has to be more behind that story than just financial problems. It's hard for me to see them work together on just about anything. Then again, stranger things have happened in the WWE. Where does "The Showstoppa" go from here?

En los mercados de divisas, en los que reina la agitación, los inversionistas han tomado a un grupo como el blanco para un castigo especial: las monedas de los grandes exportadores de commoditites.

Este grupo incluye a las divisas de países como Canadá, Australia y Nueva Zelanda, que tienen exportaciones considerables de recursos naturales y productos agrícolas.

Con fuertes indicios de que la economía global va camino a una recesión, lo que a su vez debilitaría la demanda de todo tipo de bienes básicos, desde el petróleo hasta el mineral de hierro, estas monedas enfrentan el prospecto de un maltrato aún mayor.

De muchas formas, estas "monedas commodities" son indicadores del crecimiento global, es decir, que suben en los buenos tiempos y caen en picada cuando el panorama se oscurece.

En octubre, el dólar canadiense tuvo su peor mes en la historia contra el dólar de EE.UU., cayendo 12% y borrando más de tres años de ganancias. El dólar de Nueva Zelanda ha perdido alrededor de un cuarto de su valor contra el dólar estadounidense desde julio.

Cuando caen los precios de los commodities, se traduce en una conmoción para la posición comercial de los países que exportan este tipo de bienes. De pronto, el precio que obtienen por sus exportaciones cae en relación a lo que pagan por sus importaciones. Eso quiere decir que sus balances comerciales se deterioran y sus economías sufren, ya que el ingreso por las exportaciones cae.

Las monedas commodities tuvieron una recuperación menor a fines de octubre y comienzos de noviembre, cuando los inversionistas volvieron sigilosamente a activos maltratados. Otros factores también influyen sobre estas monedas, por supuesto, como los flujos de inversión a la economía doméstica de cada país.

De todos modos, su conexión especial con los commodities las hace susceptibles de sufrir más golpes. Hay un precedente para suponer que habrá caídas más pronunciadas: a pesar del reciente declive, los precios de los commodities se mantienen muy por encima de los mínimos alcanzados en las dos últimas recesiones globales.

China, con su apetito por recursos naturales importados, es un foco de preocupación. "Si este ciclo es lo suficientemente vicioso y China se mete en problemas, esto podría ser muy, muy poderoso", afirma Stepehen Jen, director de investigación de divisas de Morgan Stanley.

Jen señala al dólar australiano como especialmente vulnerable. "Un descenso como el que vimos en 2001 no debería ser descartado", opina.

En ese entonces, un dólar australiano valía menos de 50 centavos de dólar estadounidense. La semana pasada, la moneda osciló en alrededor de los 67 centavos, un descenso desde los más de 97 centavos que valía en julio. Los precios para ciertas exportaciones australianas, como el cobre, el trigo, el aluminio y el níquel han caído.

La conexión económica entre las monedas de los países exportadores de commodities y los precios de esas exportaciones ha llevado a los economistas a preguntarse si las primeras preceden a las segundas. El razonamiento: los inversionistas incorporarán sus expectativas sobre movimientos en los precios de los commodities a la compra y venta de esas divisas.

En un estudio reciente, los economistas Yu-chin Chen, Kenneth Rogoff y Barbara Rossi examinaron los movimientos trimestrales en las monedas de Canadá, Australia, Nueva Zelanda, Chile y Sudáfrica a lo largo de las últimas décadas. Establecieron que cada moneda ayudó a predecir los precios de los principales commodities de exportación de su país. Juntas, las divisas fueron un indicador sorprendentemente bueno del desempeño que tendría un importante índice de commodities en el trimestre siguiente.

Para el tercer trimestre, el modelo basado en las divisas predijo una caída de aproximadamente el 9% en los precios de los commodities, a pesar de su sólido desempeño en meses anteriores. El modelo acertó en la dirección del cambio, pero no tanto en su magnitud: un importante índice de commodities del Fondo Monetario Internacional cayó un 18% en el tercer trimestre; excluyendo la energía, la caída fue de 12%.

Dear Santa,

I know it's a few weeks away from your global journey, and your sleigh is already packed, but please, I desperately need you to bring me the following things on your big journey.

First of all, people don't seem to have as much respect for me as they once did. They constantly criticize and impugn my hard work. They say and write awful things about me and everyone I am associated with. Honestly Santa, and I'm sure you can relate with this one, I feel like they don't believe in me anymore.

My son doesn't seem to have the passion & drive to inherit the company that I have spilled my own blood, sweat & tears to build. My wife is aging faster than a Big Show title reign. And to top it off, my daughter is nailing the help. So my first item on my list is free consultation with Dr. Phil.

Now Santa, before you put me on your naughty list, I can explain...Yes I do have a child molester on my payroll in the form of Jerry Lawler, but I get a kick out of him when he screams puppies for 2 hours straight. And yes I have to have Johnny Ace walk Randy Orton on a leash at least twice an hour, because if I don't, he seems to **** in the diva's gym bags. So please, you MUST understand my frustrations.

Yes, I did air a necrophilia skit on my flagship show, but it was merely to release my sexual frustration because I have been banging a dead trout for so many years. So I would like either a fountain of youth for my wife, or gastric bypass surgery for Tammy "Sunny" Sytch, beause she would at least move a bit when she was skinny.

Santa, after years and years of bad ratings and months and months of atrocious buy rates, I cannot seem to find out where I have gone wrong, so if you can magically make this 1997 again, I promise not to let Bret screw himself and continue to make me millions of dollars.

Santa I don't claim to be an angel, but in my business if I wanted to be one, I could. But the one thing that I truly wish you give me, is the grapefruits to tell my son-in-law to piss off and give me my family and company back. I never liked that hook nose anyway, but it was a clique thing in 1996 that got way out of control. But I know better now.

St. Nick, I am at your mercy. Please do what you can for a man that has made so many dreams come true for so many people. Even if you can't give J.R. the feeling back in his face, please, please help me get my company back on track, because I have a family to feed and crummy billion dollars isn't going to to get the job done.

P.S. Sorry about the stunner Steve gave you a few years ago, I thought it would help us win ratings. Santa, I'm depending on you. The whole WWE "Universe" is depending on you.

Sincerely,
VKM

I personally believe that ECW should move out of Sci Fi because there arent too many viewers watching ECW.

The ECW show should move to Spike Tv, USA, or TNT. I think that way ECW would have more viewers, I find this show/brand of WWE as an underdog.

 

And also it should be 2 hours long like RAW and SmackDown if its trying to be one of the best WWE brands in sports and entertainment.

Pearl embraced her children they spent the rest of the day busing with the endless chores of the manor. Late into the evening pearl beaded scarves and frocks for the season of festivals yet to come. It was another lonely night to quiet in the manor. Alone with her thoughts from voices in her shadowy past that she tried to forget. The smell of her calming steeping and a cool breeze thrust her back to being just thirteen....................................................................................................................................................................On a night of cool breezes a young Pearl wandered away from the restrictive farm house of her father. A meat and potatoes man with little time for play, her mother an indentured gypsy with to much magic to be sane. Pearl loved her secret nightly walks, none of the bickering and broken dreams to hear about in the night air. This time she wandered down the road all the way in to town past the village and near the tavern. It was filled with noise and excitement. Nothing like the drudgery of thet farm. pearl tip toed to the window just to take a peak. From behind her she felt a cool breeze and a dark figure shadowing her. " Spying are we gypsy girl?" asked the man. He was of his early 20s dressed a bit too frilly and he had a very dark aura. "No sir I'll be going home now, just seeing what hte excitement was." Pearl walked abit past him. " Oh nothing but drunk men looking for young women looking for coin. Find any customers Gypsy girl?" said the young man. "NO sir I wasn't looking for that at all sir. I'll be going now." she began to walk on the road. The young man followed and walked backwards in front of her. "I've seen you ya know, in the market, selling vegtables from that ratty old farm. Setting up with that crazy old gypsy woman." his words were stinging and his tone was pure condesention. It made young earl shrink. That is my mother sir and my father's farm." she held back the tears but walked faster. he kept pace beside her." Some mother dressing you in those revealing rags just to sell vegtables!" " They are not rags! They were made by family in ancient custom. " Pearl was angry with tears and was now stopped with her fists clenched. "Ancient Custom of cleavage?!! Ha more like showing off a plump girls melons" he said nastily. He reached out his hand to grab her breast. She waited silently when he reached foward she swung her fist upward into his chin. his teeth knocked together he was starteled she ran past him as fast as she could he was right behind her and grbbed her by the hair. She couldn't move. He got into her face " Like I would touch something as filthy as you!" He dragged her back to the tavern........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................The tavern door swung open to a loud smoky room smelling of stale food and unwashed men. they were all staring at Pearl. " Gentlemen I have here a young gypsy girl of well endowment. For just a few coins she will gladly let you touch her ample body. Loud cheers came from the crowd. coins flew into the air andthen into the young mans purse as the youg gypsy girl was handled roughly over and over as he laughed and drank . Eventually through tears she held her head high and the finely dress young man passed out from his drunkeness. and fell over onto the floor. In the distration Pearl escaped the tavern and ran home in tears. She tried bathing several times that night to get the smell and feeling of filth off of her. She climbed into her bed and wept. Not wanting to tell her unforgiving parents of her fate............ tears rolled down Pearls face as she sewed the final bead into a skirt. A small hand wiped away the tears. "Why are you crying mommy?" Pearl hugged her youngest daughter and said "Nothing important now, it's all over now." She held tight to the child and walked her back to her bed.

When Catholic Traditions and Keane's closed, my husband and I went into withdrawals because there were no local Catholic stores for us to frequent.  So I am excited to let everyone know that St. Michael's Catholic Books, Gifts, and Sacred Art has just opened in the old Keane's location! 

The address is 23016 Lake Forest Drive, Suite H, Laguna Hills, CA.  They're open from 10-5 M-F and 10-3 on Saturday.

So now that I've given you some time to read my initial thoughts about the BCS and let you see some of the evidence that it's not the perfect system (see my last post if you're not aware what I'm talking about), I want your reaction.  Am I wrong?  To me, a college football playoff is the only way to determine a true national champion because, let's face it, there are a ton of good college football teams out there.  And if you keep the system the way it is, someone will always be left out and someone will always be complaining how their team got hosed.  So rather than have a computer tell you which teams will be battling it out in the BCS Championship, why not have a playoff and make the teams prove on the field that they are deserving of the title national champions?  I don't care how you do it, just do it. If the NFL can, why not college football?  By having a playoff, you separate the teams that are actually good from the teams that THOUGHT they were good.

Take this season for instance.  First of all, if I was Mack Brown, I would be FURIOUS that the BCS for dashing my team's national championship hopes.  The Longhorns currently sit 3rd in the latest BCS standings behind Oklahoma and Alabama.  They SHOULD be playing in the Big 12 Championship this weekend, but they won't.  All because the BCS ranked Oklahoma higher than Texas even though Texas BEAT Oklahoma on a neutral field two months ago in Dallas.  Since then, the Sooners have won 6 straight scoring more than 60 points their last 4 games.  The Longhorns?  Well, they went on to defeat No. 11 Missouri and No. 6 Oklahoma State before losing on a last second TD to then No. 7 Texas Tech.  It was their fourth straight game against a team that was ranked in the top 11.  To make matters worse?  This weekend's Big 12 Championship features Missouri against Oklahoma in Kansas City...Texas beat BOTH of these teams during the regular season and didn't get in.  How sickening is that?

Then, there's the whole issue with how a tiebreaker is decided in the Big 12.  Using the various tiebreakers of the ACC, Conference USA, MAC and SEC -- other conferences with two divisions -- Texas would have advanced to the Big 12 title game.   But because Texas Tech, Texas, and Oklahoma all finished with identical records (with Texas beating Oklahoma, Tech beating Texas, and Oklahoma defeating Tech), the tiebreaker came down to whichever team was ranked highest in the BCS.  That's why Oklahoma's playing Saturday.  Does anyone else but me have a huge problem with that?

And what happens if for some reason Oklahoma gets upset?  Then Missouri is guaranteed a BCS bowl but who plays Alabama/Florida in the National Championship.  Do you give it to Texas even though they don't win their conference?  I don't know if you can.  Because if USC beats UCLA on Saturday (and all indications are they will), how can you take Texas over USC when USC wins their conference?  If that happens, Pete Carroll won't be in college football much longer I promise you that.

I could stop there...but I'm not going to.  I'm going to let it all hang out.  IF, and I repeat, IF, the commisioners of the various conferences decide to keep the BCS, then a few changes need to be implemented.
     1) Let more than two conference teams play if they are deserving.  Because Oklahoma and Texas are ranked higher and already represent the Big 12, Texas Tech (who was at one point ranked as high as #2 in the country) is probably headed to the Cotton Bowl.  Which is nice, but it does carry the financial package the BCS hands to each team that plays in one of their games.
     2) Stop giving automatic bids.  Make teams earn their way in.  Note to BCS selection committee: I don't want to see (9-3) Boston College or (8-4) Virginia Tech in the BCS.  I know this sounds crazy, but I'm pretty sure the rules state that if you  you have to finish in the top 14 of the BCS standings in order to qualify.  Last time I checked, BC was #17 and VT #25.  But thanks to the stupid rule about teams getting an automatic bid, one of these two teams is getting in and taking away a spot of another deserving team.     

Listen, I know it's not going to be easy.  Especially with how nuts this year has been.  But if something's not working, alternate options must be considered.  And the BCS isn't working.  A playoff system is the only answer.  Have an 8-team bracket and play down until a national champion is crowned.  Seems pretty simple.  And don't give me this BS about "oh well, implementing this system takes time away from the classroom for these kids."  Do you know how many classes college basketball players miss per season?  While they're flying to Maui, Aruba, away games and the NCAA tournament....the answer is A LOT.  Having football players miss a few more classes in order to get this ship straightened out is well worth your time and theirs if it means fixing this mess.

Now, I'll give you the BCS is better than what was in place beforehand considering the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 teams met only 8 times in the 57 seasons between 1936 and 1992.  This was when the "bowl coalition" was created.  But when that venture failed, the BCS was implemented.  And now that the BCS has failed, it's time to move on.  So please President Obama, fix this thing once and for all.  And return college football to the righteousness of the all of the other sports, one that crowns their champion the right way, through a playoff.

ALIENTO DEL CIELO PARA CADA DIA

Meditación Diaria: 12/2/2008 1:49:25 AM por RICARDO M. PUGLIESE REPRENSION PROVERBIOS 1:23 "Volveos a mi reprensión; he aquí yo derramaré mi espíritu sobre vosotros, y os haré saber mis palabras." A todos nos gusta ser alabados, reconocidos, pero cuán difícil y vergonzoso es ser reprendidos. Cuando éramos niños nos enseñaron que era necesario ser reprendidos, pero ahora de grandes nos gusta reprender a otros, pero no aceptamos que lo hagan con nosotros. Cuando alguien es reprendido significa que ha hecho algo malo e incorrecto.  Es por eso que necesita una severa palabra de corrección para corregir el rumbo tomado. Si deseamos caminar con Dios y alcanzar santidad, debemos permitir al Señor que nos reprenda una y otra vez a fin de ser perfeccionados. Muchas veces las reprensiones de Dios vienen por medio de otros, y al rechazarlas, estamos rechazando al mismo Señor. Nuestras vidas no pueden ser llenas de la presencia de Dios a menos que primero aceptemos su reprensión.  Dios no puede llenar con su presencia a alguien que está lleno de pecados. El Señor llena con su Espíritu Santo a los que vienen a Él vacíos de todo pecado. La última vez que fue reprendido en su trabajo por su jefe, por su amigo, o por un hermano de la iglesia, usted se enojó con él.  ¿Se ha puesto a reflexionar en lo que le han dicho?  ¿Pudo ver a través de ellos la voz del Señor mostrándole algún error para corregir? No deseche la reprensión del Señor para que su vida no se pierda la bendición de Dios. CONFESION DE FE: ACEPTO LA REPRENSION DEL SEÑOR AUNQUE NO ME GUSTE RECIBIRLA POR MEDIO DE OTROS. ORACION: Señor, dame la suficiente humildad para recibir corrección de parte de otros.  Quita de mí todo espíritu "perfeccionista" que me hace sentir como infalible.  Dame la gracia de aceptar la reprensión y meditar en ella, a fin de hacer los cambios que sean necesarios.  Amén.
