Golf in shock as Tiger takes indefinite break

LONDON (AP)—Tiger Woods’ decision to take “an indefinite break” to repair his marriage was greeted with surprise, bemusement and even relief Saturday as golfers, fans and commentators contemplated the immediate future of a sport without its biggest draw.

John Daly sympathized as the worldwide media continued to pile up accusations of infidelity, Annika Sorenstam lamented a family tragedy and Colin Montgomerie noted dryly that golf’s big prizes just became a little more accessible.

These are tumultuous times for golf after Friday’s announcement by its No. 1 player that he is taking time out following two weeks of allegations of extramarital affairs. Woods and his wife, Elin, have been married five years and have a 2-year-old daughter and a 10-month-old son....... Blah blah blah - this news item is coming from here

The world - not just the golf world is expressing some kind of mixed feeling or the other about Tiger Woods exit from the golf arena. What nobody seems to be considering is maybe there is an alternative explanation for all the events surrounding the Tiger's supposed unbecoming behavior and sudden departure.

The Tiger is a billionaire and all billionaires always have an exit strategy for all kinds of emergencies. They have plans A, B or C. So far Woods plan A seems to be working perfectly, notwithstanding what everyone else outside his family circle choose to think. Wealthy people like Tiger Woods can fool all the people some of the time, but not all the time. What if all the hype about his adulterous behavior were false and this was an elaborate setup to force him out of the golf circuit so he can get the long vacation Elin has been asking for all these years.

Okay, here is an alternative scenario. I live in Toronto, and I happen to have seen the photographs of a President Obama look alike, with black limousine and all. It is highly probable, about 9 times out of ten that Tiger Woods has a host of lookalikes out there who can perpetuate a host of atrocities in his name. I have studied a variety of expressions on Tiger Woods face after the start of this debacle and I have in fact arrived at the conclusion that he is not responsible for all the atrocities he is being accused of and that he is equally as perplexed as anyone as to why this is happening to him.

If he did not plan this whole episode himself, then perhaps someone who likes him very much and thinks he deserves a forced rest, like they have in the military, may have orchestrated it in his behalf.

Now, those interested in Tiger Woods story may understand why the citing of privacy or family matters by him at the start of the show and think twice before throwing stones at him. Besides, don't everyone think it is time for an alternative view, system, style and leadership to face for the golfing industry?

Onlookers are always quick to jump to conclusions, rather than explore all the possibilities before making a judgement. You too can become a super golfer like Tiger Woods and have the opportunity to choose the direction of your life. You can start today by visiting the best golf review site online here.

Four police officers have been shot dead in an ambush at a coffee shop in Washington State, police say.

Ordinarily this may have been ascribed to be the handiwork of a psychopath, a drug dealer with a beef to settle, a terrorist maybe or just about anybody who had a score to settle with this particular group of officers. It could have been just one of the officers and the offender decided to leave no evidence. Whatever happened back in the Forza Coffee house in Parkland, Washington State definitely needs much more scrutiny than the usual. It is highly unusual for just one person to take out four armed officers and escaping the scene without a trace. If this was a Hollywood movie which unfortunately it is not, than such a person would have been labeled a professional.This is the kind of brazen attack that can only occur in a country where there is a total break down of law and order.
Some indicators that this may not have been a random attack is how this correlates to certain incidents that occurred in the US this past few weeks.

• An Officer of the United States Army on the 5th of November 2009 turned his weapon on his peers killing 13 before being taken down. This same officer is currently being tried for murder, and I am wondering why he is not being tried for treason instead since this is obviously his crime.
• President Obama's first presidential state dinner was crashed by two uninvited guests on the 24th of November 2009 putting to shame all the security arrangements put in place to prevent this kind of occurrence. If they can do it, I bet there are several copycats out there who are willing to do the same thing. This is why the call by some senators to bring charges against the couple should be heeded.

I do not subscribe to conspiracy theories, but I could not help take a second look at these events after reading Margaret Atwoods t
The Handmaids Tale written in 1985 about a fictional upheavel in the USA that turned that country into a military/religious dictatorship.

It just seems so uncanny that a book written in 1985 will be making allusions to terrorism and enviromental degradation, events which are ocuring right now. Top this with the never-ending economic crisis that seems to have the US in its grips and the uncertainty of the Chinese stand regarding the dollar.

Can events of these nature drive the conservative right to desperation and make them do something that is totally out of this world.? Well, read the book and be the judge.

Canadian Seal Industry - Time For A Change Of Modus Operandi

TORONTO - Pamela Anderson cuddled a seal mascot Friday and used her iconic Barbie-like assets to draw attention to what she called the "shameful practice" of seal hunting in her homeland.

Anderson told a gathering outside Ontario's legislature that she wanted to save Canada from further international embarrassment over a "barbaric massacre."

"When I travel all over the world, the Canadian seal hunt is a huge issue that people talk to me about," she said. "So I'm trying to save some embarrassment."

Anderson, 42, braved blustering winds and a bone-chilling damp while clad in a one shoulder sheath and strappy heels. Her handlers ensured not a drop of rain reached her primped hair and makeup...... This is a news story from Yahoo news and the rest of the news can be read Here

Most Canadians who support seal harvesting believe it is an economic mainstay, just like many other areas of the economy that keeps the Canadian industrial machinery humming. The Northerners have lived off seals for a very long time that harvesting them is just second nature to the psyche of the hunters.

Before now, nobody cared very much about how seals were hunted, because not many people had access to the graphic nature of how seals were bludgeoned to their deaths before being skinned, quartered and expropriated of every part of their being for the benefit of their tormentors.

Times have changed however and graphic images of how this sordid affair is carried on in a country as advanced as Canada finds its ways around the globe drawing all kinds of criticism and sympathies from everyone who does not have the stomach to handle the vicious methods of slaughter that are perpetrated on those helpless and innocent looking animals.

The way seal hunting is carried on in Canada, makes it look like the seals are public enemies that must be wiped out by all means and at all costs rather than being a means for sustenance. The hunters behave more of less like a bunch of sadistic headhunters out to eliminate an avowed enemy rather than a source of food.

Canada seems to be one of the more moderate governments on the planet, with a governing system that rivals some of the best democracies on earth. With such a pristine surface and an underbelly of darkness as in the case of brutal seal hunting, I bet many foreigners are asking themselves about what other dark secrets those Canadians have to hide.

I believe it is in the spirit of this way of thinking that Pamela Anderson, who has been known to champion several cases of inhumane treatment of animals is taking on the Canadian government to give a thought to finding a more humane method for harvesting seals.

Human beings all over the planet are at the top of the food chain. Imagine if we were as intelligent as we are but are actually food for some alien life forms who decide to harvest us just like Canadians harvest seal. I wonder how that will make us feel.

Nobody is saying that Northerners cannot make their living off seal. What most are saying is that this is something that helps you grow, perhaps you should treat it with a little more respect. Most people who seat down to dinner every evening say their grace and give thanks to God for providing the opportunity to have something to eat while asking for his blessing. Can those who treat their food with such a high degree of pent up hatred actually have the latitude to beseech God for such a blessing? Because, it does appear as if those who hunt seals do so because they have something against the seals.

Canada’s Baby Seal Slaughter | World | SPIKE.com

Ducks are revered in Canada, even as they pose a health hazard and an economic liability with the hefty amount of waste matter that they dump all over the parks. Perhaps seals, especially baby seals deserve better treatment from the Canadian Government. Rather than ask Ms Anderson to go get first hand experience of how seal hunting is sustaining northern economy, I believe fellow Canadians should heed what she has to say.

Interracial couple denied marriage license in La.

A Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have. Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in Tangipahoa Parish, says it is his experience that most interracial marriages do not last long.

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else."

Bardwell said he asks everyone who calls about marriage if they are a mixed race couple. If they are, he does not marry them, he said.

Bardwell said he has discussed the topic with blacks and whites, along with witnessing some interracial marriages. He came to the conclusion that most of black society does not readily accept offspring of such relationships, and neither does white society, he said.

"There is a problem with both groups accepting a child from such a marriage," Bardwell said. "I think those children suffer and I won't help put them through it."

If he did an interracial marriage for one couple, he must do the same for all, he said.

"I try to treat everyone equally," he said.

Bardwell estimates that he has refused to marry about four couples during his career, all in the past 2 1/2 years.

Beth Humphrey, 30, and 32-year-old Terence McKay, both of Hammond, say they will consult the U.S. Justice Department about filing a discrimination complaint.

When a Justice of the PEACE suddenly decides to declare a WAR on the constitutional rights of the very people he has sworn to represent, one is prone to start asking questions. Weird questions like is this some kind of conspiracy theory? Is the judge just trying to play God, or is there a central movement towards curbing the rights of Americans as enshrined in the American constitution? Is there a conservative movement towards reducing the many freedoms that Americans have been known to take for granted for so long? Like the freedom of association for example which is being turfed in the garbage by the actions of one judge. Or is it just one judge?

There is the lame excuse that an interracial marriage will hurt the children of such a marriage. What the judge is trying to let us know seems to be that this marriage is doomed to failure from day one. I bet there is a lot more that he knows and is not telling anyone, because he is also giving a hint that he can see into the future. So, either the good judge is a psychic and a very good one at that, or he has access to policy formulation documents that outline the future direction of American affairs.

This is the year 2009, the progress of humanity at all levels of activity is way beyond this type of shenanigans. If animals can be cross bred for attaining a superior quality of meat for food, or to participate in sports, why can't human beings naturally cross breed for better purposes. Or is there a quota on the percentage of those who are allowed to breed higher levels of intelligence?

There has to be several thousands of happily married inter-racial couples out there, so what difference will one more make? The Klums just had their fourth healthy baby and have been happily married for a a long time. They are in the public eye, and it does not seem as if their children are developing any weird symptoms or being hurt by the marriage.

Mr. Justice Keith Barwell ought to reconsider his position on this one. It does not matter if he has 100million black friends lodging at his home every weekend, his objective as a Justice of the Peace is to serve impartially, all and any kind of case that comes across his table. This is his mandate. He cannot concern himself with the personal lives of his clients.

Life is a cycle of events that goes up and down as the case may be; he cannot make himself an accessory to events that will negatively affect others by trying to make them alter their chosen paths. He cannot give a dog a bad name, just because he feels like eating dog meat tonight, or any night.

Many kinds of marriages broke down everyday of the week, throwing the children into a state of despair. I do not think there is any concrete evidence to suggest that Inter-racial marriages fall into any particular pattern. And even if there is, it is not within the powers of any one person to decide who or who should not get married.

Soccer Star Ronaldo At Centre Of Sordid Sorcerer Battle

Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is at the centre of a sordid battle between sorcerers with one trying to ruin him on behalf of a spurned lover and another to save him, reports said Wednesday.

"A rich foreign woman who was betrayed" has paid a Spaniard nicknamed Pepe to "end Ronaldo's career," Correio da Manha daily said.

Ronaldo, who is often photographed with a beautiful young woman on his arm, is currently carrying an ankle injury, and the sorcerer Pepe is claiming credit for it.

Pepe was pictured holding a black wax doll and a photo of the Real Madrid forward with his name scrawled across it.

The sorcerer has refused to identify the scorned woman he claims has already paid him 15,000 euros, Correio da Manha said.

"She paid me to end Cristiano Ronaldo's career and I'm doing that," Pepe was quoted as saying.

Being that this is Halloween season I felt this has to be one the most wicked and mind blowing Halloween tricks ever. I have seen this voodoo practices going on in very small towns and villages, between maybe farmers and land owners fighting over natural resources, or perhaps employees and employers trying to overstep each other's boundaries, or even disintegrated couples looking to get one on each other, but certainly not at this level where international soccer stars and unknown glamorous ladies and sorcerers are involved. I wonder what the laws would say about this. Because if a sorcerer is boasting publicly that he has inflicted harm on somebody else through any means whatever, he is confessing to crime and should by all means be arrested and prosecuted.

One would think that with our current level of technological development, events of this nature should be confined and contained to the small villages where they belong, not be brought out in the open to the current high level of international prominence.

Anyway we should all wish Rinaldo a very happy Halloween, and maybe he can get a very scary mask from his own sorcerer which will scare the hibby jibbies out of Pepe.

China Flexes Muscle

Title of this post was taken from Toronto's Metro newspaper of the 2nd of October 2009 on page 15. The news report is about the Chinese celebration of sixty years of communist rule. Going by China's current economic status on the world stage, no one can dispute the fact that communism, may have been a very good choice. China is the world's third largest economy.

One of the highlights of the celebration according to the news story was a parade of a variety of weapons of mass destruction and the usual fireworks and several other events, which of course, were exclusive to the Communist party hierarchy, excluding the workers whose victory they are supposed to be celebrating.

Anyways, the only problem I find really disturbing was the display of raw power by means of the parade of the weapons of mass destruction.

It has been precisely 64 years since the end of world war II, but virtually every government on this planet celebrate an annual event of this nature the same way; military parades, display of weapons and show of power. It is true that war has been a recurring event even after world war II, but the questions is, going by the principles of the laws of attraction, isn't it time to tone down this unnecessary display of power? Everyone already knows that China is a force to be reckoned with, that the US and the Russians are a force to be reckoned with, that India is a nuclear power and that Iran in spite of its denials is secretly developing nuclear weapons.

It is no longer a secret that all nuclear powers combined possess enough nuclear bombs to wipe out the entire planet including the politicians themselves. We are living on a planet, that is just one world separated by artificial boundaries and whatever affects China is soon going to affect its neighbors and the rest of the earth.

So, what is the point of showing off these weapons. I would think a day like this should be dedicated to those who have sacrificed their lives and their families to preserve the birth of the ideal being celebrated. Technological advancement has brought us here, but our underdeveloped egos is keeping us in the stone ages. Perhaps the law of attraction is fulfilling our wishes to return to the stone ages.

States across the planet ought to start considering the application of the immutable laws of nature to their everyday affairs so as to give some real leadership and hope to the people the leaders are supposed to be serving.

Canada a parasite for keeping drug prices low, says U.S. senator

WASHINGTON - An American legislator called Canada "parasitic" on Wednesday for siphoning U.S. dollars to Canada with low prescription drug prices while his country does "all the innovation."

Canada benefits financially from America's role as a world leader in medical advances, Republican Sen. Bob Corker charged in an exchange with a Liberal MP as she testified before a U.S. Senate committee.

"One of the things that has troubled me greatly about our system is the fact that we pay more for pharmaceuticals and devices than other countries, and yet it's not really our country so much that's the problem, it's the parasitic relationship that Canada and France and other countries have towards us," the Tennessee lawmaker told Carolyn Bennett.

This is part of a story on www.yahoo.ca and the rest can be read at: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090930/health/health_us_cda_health_canadians_1

Those who run our governments really know how to push the envelope. Whatever happened to the ideals of democracy? Is it right to say that Canada is 'parasitic' or is it the 'predatory' nature of the American health care system that is driving her citizens to patronize cheaper alternatives in Canada. Water always tends to find its level. So when it comes to economic indices, I guess price coupled with the forces of supply and demand rules. The Canadian government does not necesarily regulate the price of generic prescription drugs so as to keep them low, making Senator Bob Corker's accusations totally unrealistic.

Canada cannot be blamed for the overly extreme profit motivation of the American Pharmaceutical industrial complex. What the good Senstor should be doing is fighting for reforms in his own backyard rather than pointing an accusing finger at a friendly neighbour whose action is benefitting hundreds if not millions of Americans. Which is why four fingers are pointing back at him.

2009 Halloween Costume ideas

It is that time of year again. That is when the ghouls, goblins, ghosts and all other netherworld denizens are let loose upon us,looking for their treats and the occasional tricks of course.

Outside of the revelry, candy swapping and several impromptu parades that marks the celebration of Halloween is the less known positive effects of expectation that comes with it and all the other celebratory occasions on our calendar. Halloween is not a holiday, although perhaps it should be, but like any other celebration, such as Christmas, new year or easter, it sets the stage for another opportunity to have some unadulterated fun for kids and adults alike. Unlike the other holidays, Halloween seems to bring the community out making everyone a participant.

Halloween may be of European extraction, but being partly a celebration of a bounty harvest, it has its equivalent in most countries. These holidays create an expectation of hope which is very good for the psyche and therefore health and wellness of all those who participate in it. It comes only once a year, just like all other holidays and so there is no excuse for not going out and have some fun.

Costumes are the mark of Halloween and they are out there in all forms and shapes. One that I found really interesting and that should honour the memory of Michael Jackson is the Wacko Jacko Mask from Fright Catalog website.

However if you would rather make your own costumes at home, and get some interesting recipes and ideas for Halloween, then you might be interested in this Halloween ideas ebook. You can get ideas to construct a theme park for trick and treating neighbors to admire and make yourself the talk of the town.

Remember, it is a once a year event, so let us go out and have some serious fun.

Do Black People Get Sunburnt

This sounds like a very interesting, almost cheeky question, but nonetheless a very good one for a debate. I was born in the southern part of my country in the west coast of Africa, but raised mostly in the north where temperatures veered into the 40 degrees centigrade levels under a clear cloudless sky most of the time. Did I get sun burnt? I cannot say that I did because either I had no idea what it meant to be sun burnt because we were too busy trying to make a living, or perhaps I was, but did not recognize the fact that I had been sun burnt. With so many other things to worry about like diseases, hunger, overbearing parents, endless supply of mosquitoes, scorpions running around looking for a soft spot on your body to stick their stingers, no one has the luxury of bothering about being sun burnt. As a matter of fact, we were encouraged to stay in the sunlight as much as possible because they said we get a lot of vitamin D from it.

If getting sun burnt is having several dark patches on your skin, then no, I never got sun burnt, and at no time did I ever applied any kind of sun tan or UV ray protection lotion on my skin. On the other hand if being sun burnt is that tingling burning sensation you have all over your skin that makes it feel like you are about to burst into flames, then maybe I did get sun burnt. Like I said before however, for us, it is part of living.

Stink Bugs - How To Control Stink Bugs

Aphids are small, soft-bodied, pear-shaped insects that have long antennae and a characteristic pair of cornicles (short tubes) extending on either side of their abdomen. Their translucent bodies are most usually green, red, brown, yellow or white.

Aphids are common garden pests. These tiny creatures are represented by hundreds of species and almost as many colours.

Aphids have an unusual life cycle. In the spring, hibernated eggs hatch into females that give birth to 10 or more live female young per day. This allows a colony of aphids to grow very quickly, especially indoors. In the fall the males are born and the fertilized females produce eggs for hibernating outdoors. These shiny black eggs are tucked into the crevices of bark and bud scales. Winged adults are produced only when the colony must migrate, such as when the colony is overcrowded or the climate is unfavorable.

This information was brought to you courtesy of Health Canada. Click Here! for more information on these stink bugs.

Stink bugs can be safely controlled using organic methods as derived by Tim Nicholas and members of his exclusive neighborhood Click Here! to find out how.

Enrollment At The LOST University Is Almost Here

An Airplane has just crashed on the shores of an unknown island. Most of the crew and passengers are dead, living just 48 survivors, most of who are incapacitated. There is no means of communicating with the outside world, and there are no signs of intelligent life in the immediate vicinity. The survivors are all alone. In other words, they are LOST.

This is a familiar theme and of the same genre as Lost In Space, X-files, The Star Trek series and several others that seem to try and use isolated fictional events to highlight real life issues like what are we, where do we come from, where are we going and what is the meaning of life.

If these questions bother you, well LOST has some of the answers you seek at its newly opened LOST University @ http://www.lostuniversity.org/ and is accepting new students with the first classes starting in December 8 2009.

First four courses on the catalog are History 101 which looks at ancient writings on walls, Language 101 which will teach you about foreign and perhaps exotic languages, Philosophy 101 – “I’m lost, therefore I am.” And Physics 101 – Introductory Physics of Time Travel.

So if you feel LOST in any way, realize that you are not alone. If you want to do something about it, then enroll at the LOST University for a heavy dose of enlightenment.
