| fashion disaster - match responsibly | | 2008-07-06 08:57:00 | | Say you own a pair of acid green shoes.Hopefully you are aware that acid green is not the prettiest color in the crayon box. And also not the easiest one to wear.Now while blue and green can be worn together with no problems, I'm not sure I like turquoise blue and acid green together. Strike one.Next, the belt. It has a floral pattern going on, that clashes with the geometrical pattern of the shoes. Strike two.Lastly, the two-toned bag just adds to the mess. Strike three.I am big on respecting general color/pattern matching rules, and since it doesn't look like any pre-meditated matching has taken place here, I'm going to have to declare this a fashion disaster.. | | By: NY SPENDER | | |

| Eighth Inning Doom, Mayhem And Disaster...Astros 3 Red Sox 2 | | 2008-06-30 04:45:00 | | For the first time since May 14th, Boston manager Terry Francona summoned his lefthander Hideki Okajima with a man or men on base. A wild pitch allowed that runner, Miguel Tejada, to scamper to second base. A pinch hitter strode to the plate, none other than old friend Mark Loretta, who promptly laced a flat slider (I think) into the outfield for a base hit, scoring Tejada. That proved to be the winning run as the Houston Astros defeated the Boston Red Sox by a score of 3-2.Josh Beckett again pitched well enough to win, going seven innings and allowing only two runs on eight hits, striking out four and walking one. David Aardsma, who allowed the potential winning run to reach first, was lifted after recording one out and it was Okie time. You know the rest. Okie has allowed 12 of 25 inherited runners to score, and this one hurt. It moved the Red Sox to second place as they prepare for a three game series with the pesky and potent Tampa Bay Rays, who will have their three best starters | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| A Daisuke Disaster...St. Louis 9 Boston 3 | | 2008-06-22 04:04:00 | | What can I say about Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park? Maybe I'd say I'm glad I wasn't there. Nothing else comes to mind. Daisuke Matsuzaka was making his triumphant return to the rotation, and it was a complete bust, all one inning and three batters of it. In that one inning plus he allowed seven earned runs and six hits while walking three. The final score was 9-3 Cardinals, and that was because of good bullpen work (except for the second inning grand slam). Here is what his manager and the man himself said after the fiasco...“When he came out, there were not complaints about soreness, fatigue, anything, so that’s a good sign,” Boston manager Terry Francona said. “I’m hopeful we’ll just chalk it up to a bad outing.”“I just hope that I can get back to a good spot,” Matsuzaka said through a translator. “The good, I can’t really think of anything that was good. Things were mostly bad today.”Peter here, and I can't think of anything that was good, either. His ERA | | By: Peter's Red Sox Forever | | |

| Catherine Zeta Jones In Rebound – An Aesthetic Disaster | | 2008-06-11 00:28:00 | | One of my favorite actresses, Catherine Zeta Jones has been looking rather unglamorous lately. For a woman whose every move exuded charisma and impeccable oomph, this new CZJ is someone I simply can’t bear to look at. Her curves defined her and most of her roles had her essaying roles about strong women with more than a hint of the exotic. She was simply perfect in The Mask of Zorro and compared to her latest rom-com The Rebound, the difference is very apparent. Catherine has had very less need to add or modify her body with plastic surgery. Though she doesn’t confirm it, cosmetic surgeons and fans are certain she has had a breast augmentation and eyelid surgery somewhere down the line. Her curvy body looked less augmented when she was sighted shooting for The Rebound and point to her well-known weight fluctuations. Speaking about her weight problems she says, “My muscles have memory from the time I danced, and it’s quick for me to get back in shape, but I’m not fana | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |

| How to Survive A Disaster | | 2008-06-03 18:55:32 | | By Amanda RipleyWhen a plane crashes or the earth shakes, we tend to view the survivors as the lucky ones. Had they been in the next seat or the apartment across the street, they would have perished. We marvel at the whimsy of the devastation.The recent earthquake in China and the cyclone in Burma, not to mention the battery of tornadoes and wildfires ripping through the U.S. this season, remind us that disasters are part of the human condition. We are more or less vulnerable to them, depending where we live.But survival is not just a product of luck. We can do far more than we think to improve our odds of preventing and surviving even the most horrendous of catastrophes. It's a matter of preparation--bolting down your water heater before an earthquake or actually reading the in-flight safety card before takeoff--but also of mental conditioning. Each of us has what I call a "disaster personality," a state of being that takes over in a crisis. It is at the core of who we are. The fact i | | By: angelite nurses | | |

And as usual, nearly every SUV held one person only-- the driver.Ethanols and other biofuels are coming under increased criticism for turning farmland into fuel land; biofuels are tagged as one of the more immediate causes of the current world food crisis.

| Ixilix Announces Support for Low-Cost Virtualized Disaster Recovery Over IP in Compliance-Based Data Center | | 2008-02-26 00:32:59 | | PHILADELPHIA, Ixilix announced today that its SAS 70 Type II data center now offers disaster recovery using virtualized servers and data replication over IP networks. "Many companies do not use a disaster recovery site because it is too expensive to buy a second set of hardware for the DR site, hardware that will naturally sit idle most of the time," said Robert Boyer, Senior Vice President at Ixilix. "Using virtualization greatly reduces hardware costs, and using data replication over IP means simple system management and minimal impact on production systems," Boyer added.Using server virtualization means that businesses can adhere to the disaster recovery best practice of one-to-one correspondence in systems for failover, but with much less capital expense. Data Replication over IP networks means that the disaster recovery site can feasibly be almost anywhere in relation to the primary site.

| The Rising Risk of a Systemic Financial Meltdown: The Twelve Steps to Financial Disaster | | 2008-02-10 10:20:00 | | This is the worst housing recession in US history and there is no sign it will bottom out any time soon. At this point it is clear that US home prices will fall between 20% and 30% from their bubbly peak; that would wipe out between $4 trillion and $6 trillion of household wealth. While the subprime meltdown is likely to cause about 2.2 million foreclosures, a 30% fall in home values would imply that over 10 million households would have negative equity in their homes and would have a big incentive to use "jingle mail" (i.e. default, put the home keys in an envelope and send it to their mortgage bank). Moreover, soon enough a few very large home builders will go bankrupt and join the dozens of other small ones that have already gone bankrupt thus leading to another free fall in home builders' stock prices that have irrationally rallied in the last few weeks in spite of a worsening housing recession.

Sir John, a British diplomat who is also known as the UN's under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, said dire predictions about the impact of global warming on humanity were already coming true. "We are seeing the effects of climate change. Any year can be a freak but the pattern looks pretty clear to be honest.

But that's where my empathy ends. What's with the kicks, the uppercuts and the tough girl attitude while wearing maternity dresses throughout the video? With the plot revolving around her trying to save a child from a club/dungeon filled with women-hamsters, closet-gays, and bald guys, and having NOTHING to do with the lyrics, I have to say subliminal messages these are not... And when the little boy looked so terrorized when J-Lo burst the door open with such spiky heels, I almost shed a tear, as memories of Madonna's adoption techniques kept flashing in the back of my mind. | | By: NY SPENDER | | |
