Swine Flu

QUINCY, IL (WGEM)-- It's a typical afternoon at the Quincy YMCA. A mile on the treadmill, 30 minutes on the ecliptical, and don't forget the triceps. As the list of people infected with swine flu continues to grow, even a trip to the gym has people taking extra health precautions.

Dumb Parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Sexting' lands teen on sex offender list and parents say the services help them protect their kids against predators and also reduce "sexting," the growing practice of using mobile phones to share sexually explicit text messages and pictures. Come on parents show them your boss, but don't screw up the rest of their life and register them as a sex offender.

Twitter

If things are happening too fast, you may not ever fully experience emotions about other people's psychological states and the world will grow more corrupt. I think People Such as news castors should just tell the same story and tell the truth. Lieing says alot about a person!

Dumb Criminal

A Dumb Criminal robs a cop at a Police convention. How dumb can you be??? He must have been a real smart one........ How does a person even think of robbing a cop? It must have been one loaded cop!!!!

U.S. Today

Twitter's 8 million users run the gamut from lovelorn teenagers to celebrities like Britney Spears to the New York Times. The last of these has more than 500,000 followers receiving its story links and news updates. Some members of the U.S. Congress use Twitter to fill in their constituents. A few have even been spotted tapping away on their mobile phones in the middle of President Barack Obama's speeches. Well if that is not a fine example of what the U.S. is comming to.......

Whats New!!!!

Headlines proclaiming that G-20 activists and police are following each others' activities on Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites may give one the impression that a new age of surveillance and political activism has dawned.
But activists' use of technology is nothing new. Though Twitter and Facebook might be today's must-have gadgets in campaigners' toolboxes, some say they're simply the latest chapter in a long tradition of activists' use of technology to champion change.
To me it is all the same people just whan to get their thoughts out there and make their point.......but what is their point????????

I love to play Chess!

Chess is a game, played by two players. One player plays with the white pieces, and the other player plays with the black pieces. Each player has sixteen pieces in the beginning of the game: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns.
The game is played on a chessboard, consisting of 64 squares: eight rows and eight columns. The squares are alternately light (white) and dark colored. The board must be laid down such that there is a black square in the lower-left corner. To facilitate notation of moves, all squares are given a name. From the view of the white player, the rows are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8; the lowest row has number 1, and the upper row has number 8. The columns are named, from left to right, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h. A square gets a name, consisting of the combination of its column-letter and row-number, e.g., the square in the lower left corner (for white) is a1.
black

white
Alternately, the players make a move, starting with the white player (the player that plays with the white pieces.) A move consists of moving one of the pieces of the player to a different square, following the rules of movement for that piece - there is one special exception, named castling, where players move two pieces simultaneously.
A player can take a piece of the opponent by moving one of his own pieces to the square that contains a piece of the opponent. The opponents piece then is removed from the board, and out of play for the rest of the game.

Blonde Joke Called I whant to Buy that.....

A blonde goes into a nearby store and asks a clerk if she can buy the TV in the corner. The clerk looks at her and says that he doesn't serve blondes, so she goes back home and dyes her hair black. The next day she returns to the store and asks the same thing, and again, the clerk said he doesn't serve blondes. Frustrated, the blonde goes home and dyes her hair yet again, to a shade of red. Sure that a clerk would sell her the TV this time, she returns and asks a different clerk this time. To her astonishment, this clerk also says that she doesn't serve blondes. The blonde asks the clerk, "How in the world do you know I am a blonde?" The clerk looks at her disgustedly and says,"That's not a TV -- it's a microwave!"

St. Patrick's Day!

Clovers bloom in the grass as a sure sign of spring, and if you find a four leaf clover among them, common belief is it will bring good luck.
However, four leaf clovers do not just represent fortune , they are also the universal symbol of St. Patrick's Day.
Traditionally, Christians celebrate St. Patrick and the work he did for Christianity on March 17 each year.
The holiday may mark his death, but some memorialize St. Patrick for the good works he did during his life.
The only thing I have learned about St. Patrick is that he lured the snakes out of Ireland, I never knew much about the holiday or St. Patrick himself, except that St. Patrick did good things for Ireland, so we celebrate him every year.
The story that St. Patrick led snakes out of Ireland is a popular folk tale, but no more than a legend. The patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick is believed to have grown up in Britain, according to the History Channel.
At 16, Patrick was taken prisoner by Irish raiders who held him captive in Ireland for six years. He worked as a shepherd, secluded from the world. In his isolation, he became a devout Christian through reading the Bible.
Once Patrick escaped, he heard a voice in a dream, which he believed to be the voice of God, telling him to leave Ireland and return home to England. In England, he received a second message, this time from an angel, who told him to return to Ireland as a missionary.
Thus, the legend of St. Patrick was born.
All over the world people celebrate St. Patrick's Day, however, the biggest consumer of St. Patrick's Day and its associated commercial products is North America. Corned beef and cabbage are typical elements of the St. Patrick's Day feast, but many will also celebrate by drinking green beer and covering themselves from head to toe in four leaf clovers.

??? Money ???
