| Michael Phelps made America proud! | | 2008-08-19 17:30:40 | | I watched Michael Phelps in his race swimming, and according to his body measurements and ability he is like a human speed boat. Wow, he is a fast swimmer, and I was just joking with my husband saying that "if you swim with Michael Phelps as your opponent, you might as well forget it as you don't stand a chance"...LOL. See, he is built for speed because of his big upper body and small lower body; | | By: Simply Me | | |

| McCain's Proud Moments | | 2008-08-05 23:00:00 | | John McCain has a long voting record, and it is filled with many votes that he probably regrets. Speaking of which, there are his votes against the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, which he now favors extending (and more). There's his support for non-tax issues (such as the war, McCain-Feingold, and others.) But there have been those moments in John McCain's voting record that sound fiscal policy can speak proud of, such as these laws that ultimately were signed into law by Pres. Bush (whose fiscal policy record is nothing to praise):Energy Bill of 2005: McCain joined six other Republicans and 20 Democrats (including Jeffords) to vote against this pathetic piece of legislation that loaded billions in subsidies to oil companies, ethanol producers, and thousands of other earmarks to various political constituencies. The only way you could have gotten any energy out of this bill would be to set it on fire. We blogged about how bad this bill was here, here, here, he | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |
| | Johnny Foreigner + Dananananaykroyd @ Proud Galleries | | 2008-07-11 09:24:00 | | The main room of Camden's Proud Galleries was buzzing like a very excited bee as I arrived, slightly late, for the night's proceedings. The crowd, already titterlated by overpriced Kopparberg cider, cheap Camden market food and, from what I heard, a formidable set from Tubelord, seemed anxious to see two of Britain's most exciting indie-rock prospects. Dananananaykroyd were too many in number and instruments to fit on the venue's tiny stage so they had to over flow a guitarist onto the floor by the side of the stage. It was unneeded, to be honest, as from the first song to last singer Callum scaled the barrier in front of the stage to dance, command and generally run riot in the crowd. The band's self-proclaimed “fight-pop” is fuelled by chirpy, scuzzy guitars and duel drumming that hits you like a boxer's left and right hook and all this boundless energy is funnelled through their hyper frontman, who screams, wails and mutters in his think Scottish accent.

| | Grief and Rightfully Proud for You, Pugkas | | 2008-07-10 12:27:00 | | Pungkas Tri Baruno, one of university student of Mercu Buana (UMB), climbed the McKinley mountain which well known for its height on 22th June. Even he is not a professional hiker, Pungkas made it to the top, at 6.139 meter. Unfortunately, on his way down he fainted, the support team was trying to do a emergency action but they failed. So, Pungkas died on McKinley, this will be added to the dead hiker's list on Mckinley. Last week, we also heard that American hiker was dead too. Since 1932, it have been recorded that 102 people died on this mountain. The terrain and landscape is hard, vicious and deadly.Every hiker should be well warned that the terrain is dangerous. Even on hiking season like now, the storm most likely to shows up from nowhere and unpredictable. Last May, 2 hikers came from Japan was reported lost. Until recent time those hikers have not been found. It was assumed that they died in the forest.

| | ¿ Gay Proud o Tahuantinsuyo Proud ? | | 2008-06-28 15:48:22 | | Esta semana es el 30 aniversario de la bandera gay del arco iris. .Cuando nació la bandera tenía dos colores más, el rosa y el turquesa, pero por problemas con las telas en la fábrica que las tenía que confeccionar, acabó siendo como la conocemos hoy.Aquí en Perú, existe toda una controversia estúpida e inútil porque existe una gran similitud con la bandera del Tahuantinsuyo o Imperio de los Incas. La paradoja es que ambas banderas fueron oficialmente utilizadas el mismo año, en 1978, para identificar a cada uno de los orgullosísimos grupos que representan.En 1978 la llamada bandera del Tahuantinsuyo nació por iniciativa de un concurso que organizó una radio emisora cuzqueña de ese entonces, y un periodista se inspiró en un supuesto equivalente a Bandera que se llamó UNANCHA, donde se muestran los 7 colores del arco iris, según referencias del Inca Garcilazo, pinturas de la época, crónicas y ciertas investigaciones...Ese mismo año en San Francisco se usó la bander | | By: Cosas de Hombres | | |

In fact, I'm so proud to appear in the first issue of Indonesia Playboy as the eight pages of photos were tasteful, stylish and sensuous but not pornographic!” said the current Guess International Ambassador in an interview here.She had flown to Jakarta about three months ago to promote Celebrity Fitness Gym, for which she was also ambassador, when she was asked by Indonesia Playboy to appear in its inaugural April issue.Initially, she turned down the offer. TAME SHOOT: Chia as featured in one of the pages of the inaugural issue of ‘Indonesia Playboy.’ She turned down the offer to appear in the magazine at first because she assumed she had to pose nude.“I assumed it would be a typical Playboy issue where I had to bare my breasts or expose my private parts.”“They pursued me a | | By: What's Up | | |

| | | finance:Car Finance UK - be proud owner of car through easy borrowings. | | 2008-06-13 07:04:00 | | In the UK , buying car through borrowing finance is easier than before for every type of people as number of lenders have cropped up in the lending business which has made the finance available at easier terms also. Car finance UK can be relied upon when you think of buying a new or used car of any make or model. [finance , credit , debt]The UK residents can borrow any amount of finance under car finance as it is available in secured or unsecured options. If you intend to buy new car that is priced very high, secured car finance is the right choice as the finance you can avail depends on equity in the property you placed as collateral. What is more, secured car finance in the UK comes at low rate of interest which reduces repayment burden considerably. Unsecured car finance, on the other hand, involves no security from the borrower and so it is completely risk free for him. However for covering risks, the lender charges higher interest rate on it. The loan amount is kept smaller. Both | | By: FINANCE. | | |

| | Fern Britton Finally Proud Of Weight Loss | | 2008-06-09 23:17:00 | | I feel very sorry for this woman, but then I think about the message she’s sending out to millions of overweight women (and men) out there and I have to rethink. While Fern Britton is right in emphasizing the need for a woman to keep some things private, I disagree with the sneaky way she went about her weight loss issue. For a woman who is very much in the public eye, it is important to consider the repercussions. Fern lost 5 stone over a period of two years and attributed her weight loss to diet and exercise a la most actresses and socialites. What she glossed over was that she had weight loss surgery to get her down 7 dress sizes. A gastric bypass surgery, very popular with obese individuals, reduces the size of the stomach. This causes the person to ingest less food and serves as an efficient appetite-curb. A GBP is one of the various bariatric surgery options we offer at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California.

| | | Are you proud to be British? | | 2008-06-01 03:10:14 | | Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish Kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign. Oh and...... - Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. - Only in Britain... do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the shop to get their prescriptions - while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. - Only in Britain... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries and a DIET coke. - Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters. - Only in Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage. - Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss | | By: Tails of Terror from the Black Lagoon! | | |

| | I feel guilty and proud all at the same time | | 2008-04-19 06:32:33 | | When I got up this morning at 8:30 (very unwillingly as I'm sick AGAIN--strep? sinus infection? I don't know yet) all the boys were sitting at the table eating oatmeal. Justin had Zachary in the highchair with a cup of milk, feeding him oatmeal. No, my husband didn't do this--he doesn't do that kind of thing. It was Justin. He makes breakfast often, but has never put Zachary in the highchair and fed him before! It warmed my heart to see the old prophesy coming true more and more that "after three it gets easier and easier". And at the same time I felt guilty for being in bed when all this was going on. Kevin is leaving tomorrow for four days, then again on the 27th for a week. After that we'll be home free to get ready for our trip home. Please be praying that we can get these tonsils out before then. It doesn't look like it's going to happen barring a miracle.

It's a clear, chilly day here in New York, and I'm just glad to have some good weather on this day for a change. A remember a few years ago when we had a fast-moving snowstorm go through during the day.I've only been to the parade on a couple of occasions live, and I rarely go out drinking to celebrate the day. I'll knock back a cold one and have some Irish soda bread tonight in honor of St. Patrick (pictured) and my Irish heritage.

| | You've Done Us Proud! | | 2007-12-18 08:00:00 | | I can't believe that I'm actually writing about football here. Not what I think about football like my previous posts (see Everything He Does Is Magic). Not tips for guys how to make peace with their partner when they want to watch football. But really, I'm talking about the biggest game happened in Scotland.Yes. Scotland vs. Italy. Last Saturday. In Glasgow.Those of you might wonder, have I gone nuts? Did Stuart tie me on a sofa to make me watch it? Did he drug me or buy me expensive gifts to get me to be patience for 90 minutes? Have I become a geezer bird? No, my dear friends. I'm mentally and physically perfectly fine and healthy, and I decided to watch the game, or for more precise, to watch the game with my laptop on (which means I would glance at telly every 5 minutes), because it was so huge the whole nation kept talking about it a month before the match and is still talking about it, so it's difficult to not get infatuated by the whole thing. When Stuart said it's an important game, this time I know it was.Those of you who care less about football, let me give you the background a little bit. This is EUFA European Football Championship 2008 qualification. If Scotland beat Italy they will qualify for Euro 2008. If they lose then Italy and France will book their places at the finals. Should they draw, Scotland will need Ukraine to beat France at home on 21 November. A big dream for Scotland. Probably as big as Indonesia's dream to grace Asian Games with gold medal in any other sport rather than badminton. Before you ask, I also have asked this question to Stuart many times. This is EUFA. Which means European countries: France, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, etc. But why do we play as Scotland, Wales, and England? We should play as the UK. This is like Singapore vs. Java, not Singapore vs. Indonesia. But Stuart insisted that Scotland is a country.

Six New York City schools made the list. And one is my alma mater: Brooklyn Technical High School.Tech was ranked number 39 on the list. Also making the list was a number of the 'usual suspects" you'd guess would make a Top 100 list from New York: Stuyvesant, Bronx High School of Science, Staten Island Tech, Townsend Harris HS and New Explorations into Science, Technology and Math (can't say I've ever heard of that school).It's always been a great source of pride for me that I graduated from Brooklyn Tech. It has always been one of my greatest accomplishments that I went there. You have to take an entrance exam in order to get in, and very few make it. Tech was without question the toughest school academically I ever attended. When I first got there, I thought I might wash out.

| | He Looked Down His Proud Aquiline Nose At Her…: | | 2007-11-07 02:36:00 | | Just a glance through at the latest romance novel your wife is reading is enough to hit you and most men with numbing inferiority complexes. Most of the heroes of these novels have either proud aquiline noses or beautiful Greek noses. History, movies and art too are full of dashing figures like Michelangelo’s David, Ramses II, Dennis Quaid and even Aladdin, whose noses seem to add to their charms.Men are known to be more conscious about their noses than women. No matter how eternal the macho look may be, the nose has to have ‘character’. And so, it is no doubt that rhinoplasty is the most sought after cosmetic surgery among the male gender. They form a quarter of the total patients who undergo rhinoplasty.High satisfaction levels are very difficult to deliver where men are concerned though, according to most plastic surgeons, particularly in the case of ethnic male rhinoplasty. For instance, statistics point to male Asian rhinoplasty patients opting for secondary rhinoplasty procedures.Plastic surgeons unanimously prefer to keep in mind the thumb rule, “less is more” where male rhinoplasty is concerned. Overdoing a male nose job might result in a much-too graceful nose, which is really not suited to the more macho ideal of aesthetics.It’s alright to envy the hero of a romance novel for his perfect looks. What is more important is preserving the natural balance of your face with a well executed male rhinoplasty.Contact the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, to know more about how our rhinoplasty surgeons can help you get the nose that’s just right for you and for the woman of your dreams. | | By: Plastic Surgery Institute Of California | | |

We went along to this year’s competition to cheer on and support a number of our fellow students who were taking part.After a couple of hours watching and cheering on our friends just before the main event, the men’s black belt division the chief instructor of the association, Malcom Hudson stopped the proceedings and asked for Scott to come and join him in the centre of the hall.Scott was then given an award for his “Dedication to Training” for his continued effort in training in Karate all throu | | By: RigsVille | | |

We thought it would be a nice treat for our servicemen and women, but I never expected to be criticized for it. Instead, the "Gun Guys" blog (run by the anti-gun Freedom States Alliance) said our gift was "desperate" and "cynical."

| | | Patrick Kane Embraces Chicago's Proud Tradition Of Failure | | 2007-06-26 12:10:00 | | Photo courtesy Jerry Lai/APPatrick Kane, drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks as the first overall pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, threw out the first pitch as the Chicago Cubs faced the Colorado Rockies at Wrigley Field last night. The Cubs blew a five run lead in the top of the ninth inning but barely managed to rally in the bottom and win by one run. They still remain three games under .500 with a record of 36-39.If wearing a Cubs jersey wasn’t bad enough (disclaimer: I like the Cubs), Kane will be forced to represent another once-proud Chicago sports franchise now reduced to chronic mediocrity by misguided management, the Blackhawks, for at least the first few years of his NHL career. At least the food there is good. | | By: Dear Lord Stanley | | |

| | A Proud New York Red Sox Fan? | | 2007-06-03 17:44:00 | | I saw a blurb in the Page Six Section of the Sunday New York Post, and there's a picture of one-time supermodel Christie Brinkley wearing a Red Sox jersey at Fenway Park the other night doing the wave at the game. And the Post was offended by it:"Wait a minute, doesn't Christie Brinkley live in New York? So why was she in a Red Sox jersey doing the wave at Fenway Park? Traitor!"Earth to the New York Post: NOT EVERYONE WHO LIVES IN NEW YORK CITY ROOTS FOR THE NEW YORK YANKEES!! I don't know Ms. Brinkley's baseball rooting interest (or if she really is a baseball fan, or just donned the jersey because she was in Boston), but being from or living in the five boroughs doesn't mean you surrender your allegiance to any other team not called the Yankees. And yes, there is another, better baseball team here called the Mets.This reminds me of stories my dad tells me about being in Florida for the winter. He'll meet people and tell them he's from New York City, and many just assume that h | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |
