Best Fantasy Football Players in Week 9
QB Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals
Kurt Warner has turned back the clock this season and is reminding NFL experts why he has a pair of Super Bowl rings. He’s also reminding fantasy football owners why he used to be considered the best fantasy quarterback in the all the land. This week, against the St. Louis Rams, you have to think Warner will have even more motivation to torture the team he had his most success with.
RB Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles

San Antonio Spurs – Fantasy Basketball Analysis
The San Antonio Spurs have started the season 0-2, however fantasy basketball owners have to be excited about what they are seeing out of San Antonio’s two biggest stars. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker have been very productive in the first two games.
The good news for the fantasy basketball community is that the production for Duncan and Parker should continue in the short term. Both players are healthy and in a rhythm offensively.
However, once Manu Ginobili returns, expect the pie… More »
Say Yes To A Second Interview When You’re Saying NO To The Job Offer?
Have you ever gotten an invitation for a second interview after you’d already decided this was not the right job for you? How’d you handle it?
That’s the situation I’m in right now. After my job interview the other day I had made up my mind that this was not the place for me at this point in my career. Why? Well, I’d be taking about a 10 grand per year cut in pay to go to… More »

Maybe Twitter SHOULDN’T Monetize
Twitter is notorious for it’s lack of business model, and Simon Dumenco from AdAge has written a really thought-provoking article about the service. I’ve always just accepted that if I’m going to be online, I’m gonna get advertised at. Maybe not tho…
Simon raises an excellent point when he says
But what if it’s not only too late, but it was never time? What if not everything that flits across our screens — computer or cellphone or whatever — can be contorted… More »
Rice On: A Great Way to Add Nutrients, Body and Soul
Whether you’re on the vegetarian track or would like to be, rice is a great way to add important B vitamins and fiber to your diet. It is an important part of the daily diet of over half the world–and a sacred ingredient in places like Tibet and Indonesia, where the rice goddess Dewi Sri–and rice– are believed to have a spirit and a soul. There are a ton of varieties to choose from–about 120,000 to be more precise. So how… More »
Metal Martyr Halloween Horror Picks
Some of the best horror movies are the ones that keep you in the dark through most of the movie. The ones where the monster or villain isn’t revealed right away and that makes it more scary. Some of these that I picked are typical movies that make almost everyone list simply because they are classics. They may not be the biggest budget movies and maybe that’s why they were so good. The camera angles and lighting added to… More »
Joaquin Phoenix Quitting Movies
It seems like most actors go through a period where they quit the business for one reason or another. But a lot of them come back! I’m hoping that’s the case with Joaquin Phoenix, who told “Extra” this week that he’s quitting movies to focus on his music pursuits. His publicist, Susan Patricola, confirmed it, saying that “Two Lovers,” his upcoming movie with Gwyneth Paltrow, would be his last. “He has said that ‘Two Lovers’ is his last,”… More »
Flashback Friday: "Gangsta’s Paradise"
Remember Coolio’s single "Gangsta’s Paradise" from the Dangerous Minds soundtrack? EVERYONE knew this song and Coolio became a household name. Looking back at this video, though, cracked me up because it’s so cheesy and over-the-top. Having Michelle Pfeiffer sit in front of Coolio while he overacts almost seems mean. I would be on the floor laughing if I was her. Oh well. It worked at the time… Technorati… More »
Halloween?! You Decide!
THIS IS A REPRINT FROM LAST HALLOWEEN! Enjoy your night!
I have no understanding about why we celebrate Halloween in this country. I have to believe that people don’t know what they are celebrating. So, I thought I would share a little of the history of Halloween. We say Happy Halloween”. What is that? Happy Halloween? Not! I don’t celebrate this holiday and my children have never been trick or treating. Any way.. rather than getting on my soapbox.. Here… More »
Virtual Cocktail Chatter
Each Thursday, fancy mixologists, cocktail geeks and bartenders gather in a chat room and geek out over cocktails. They create new recipes, try and out-do one another and pretty much drink all night. All in all, it’s a pretty fantastic time.
I know this is a day late, but Kaiser Penguin had the wrap up from last night’s mixology chat, and I’ve been meaning to tell you about it for ages now. What prompted me this time was the winning drink,… More »
A Phial Of Transperasim
Your sims didn’t drink the Death Potion, but you still want him to look dead?
Try a Phial Of Transperasim.
Quite honestly, I’m not sure if this can be undone since I haven’t had a chance to try this one out myself so you might want to test it on a sim you don’t mind being transparent for the rest of their “life”.
This would be a great thing to use to make a “ghost” of your sims in your Halloween movie. Think… More »
Ukraine Euro 2012 Under Threat
Ukraine’s ability to host the Euro 2012 games is under threat as local economy plumets. The United States are not the only people feeling the crunch. The Ukraine has been under some severe economic pressures during the past few months. The chairman of Ukraine’s organizing committee, Evhen Chervonenko, said in an interview that construction has frozen at about 80 per cent of the hotels needed to be built for the event, as banks are no longer extending loans to… More »
