Build a Pool

Swimming provides low-impact exercise that gives your cardiovascular system a good workout. It does not damage joints or feet as running sometimes does. If you enjoy swimming for fun and exercise, I hope you have access to a pool nearby.

If you live in the American southwest and if you are in a position to have a pool built or remodeled, I suggest that you consider the services of Cameo Pools, the oldest pool company in Mesa, Arizona.

Cameo Pools may be old, but it doesn’t claim to have built the most pools in Arizona. But it does claim to build pools at a price that offers the best value. It also offers the most well-built pools and terrific customer service.

Cameo builds 200-300 pools per year. One size does not fit all. Cameo will design a pool that fits the space you want to fill. In addition to building the best pools in Arizona, Cameo is also the best at az pool remodeling. If you have a pool in AZ, Cameo can rebuild it to your specifications.

If you’re ready to put a pool in your backyard, or if you have one you want to remodel, you should take a look at what Cameo Pools can do for you.

Sad Day for the Hulkster

Bad news for fans of Linda and Hulk Hogan, AKA Linda and Terry Bollea. Barring reconciliation, the couple is going to Splitsville. Linda has filed for divorce, and the Hulkster says he learned that fact from a reporter.

Hulk is a star performer in the business of wrestling entertainment. The unhappy couple has a reality show called Hogan Knows Best. The Hulkster apparently didn't know much of anything in regard to the upcoming divorce proceedings.

Retired General Attacks Iraq War

A retired commander of U.S. troops in Iraq has again criticized the Bush-Cheney boneheads for their inept strategy in the Iraq war. Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez says that the administration has overemphasized military power while ignoring political, economic, and diplomatic considerations.

"That failure continues today," Sanchez said. He also said that Iraqi politicians show no willingness to make the required compromises. This failure reflects the failure of the Bush-Cheney war strategy.

Reduce Foot Blisters

How many times have you started a new exercise regimen, only to fall victim to blisters on your hard-working feet? Tamarack Habilitation Technologies wants you to know that help is on the way.

Tamarack’s website explains that blisters are caused by friction. The exercise enthusiast can achieve Blister Prevention by wearing the right shoes and by using Tamarack’s ENGO® Blister Prevention Patches.

The National Health & Wellness Club (NHWC) recently gave its seal of approval to ENGO Patches. Sample packages of ENGO Patches were sent to 1000 NHWC members earlier this year.

These NHWC members tested the patches for their usefulness at preventing blisters and reducing pain from blisters. The people involved with the test reported enormous success from their use of ENGO Patches.

For more information, contact Tamarack at bluepatch@goengo.com or call 866-795-0057. Or visit the website at www.GoENGO.com.

Fred Thompson Wants More Guns

Republican presidential candidate Fred Thompson wants cops and robbers to have more guns. Rudy Giuliana, former mayor of New York, is less enthusiastic about more firepower.

Thompson visited a gun shop in New Hampshire Friday, where he stated his firm opposition to gun controls. He also said he wants to increase military spending, which would include increasing U.S. ground troops to one million.

Giuliana says his policies in New York deprived criminals of guns, thereby reducing murders by 66 percent.

Thompson enjoys the financial support of the National Rifle Association and other pro-gun lobbyists.

Australia Rejects Bush and Iraq War

Recent polls in Australia have shown that the people of that country dislike George Bush and his war with Iraq. So it comes as no surprise that Aussie voters rejected the conservative coalition and its pro-war prime minister in Saturday's parliamentary election.

Prime Minister John Howard lost his own seat in the election.

Howard and his coalition had also failed to approve the Kyoto protocol on climate change.

The winning Labor Party and its leader Kevin Rudd promised to withdraw all Australian troops from Iraq. Labor also said it favored the Kyoto agreement.

Study Cosmetology

If you or someone you know is interested in a career in cosmetology, the Regency Beauty Institute now provides the needed training on almost 30 campuses in the United States. More locations are in the works for 2008.

Regency training sites mimic the look and ambience of upscale salons, giving students the background they’ll need for successful careers. In turn, these students provide their services to local customers at discount prices.

The Regency Beauty Institute is growing faster than any other beauty school in the United States. This school, which got its start in Minneapolis over 50 years ago, now has campuses in nine states. Starting in 2002, Regency expanded from only two campuses into the multi-city school of today.

For more online information about one of the most exciting beauty schools you’ll find anywhere on the planet, logon to www.regencybeauty.com.

Phantom Iraqi Bio-Weapons

In case you missed it, let us give you the hot poop about a man called "Curveball," the guy who gave George Bush and company proof of weapons of mass destruction. The CBS show 60 Minutes says the guy's real name was Rafid Ahmed Alwan.

In 1999, Alwan entered a German refugee camp, where he claimed to be an expert in the field of chemical weapons. This expert then said that he was certain that Saddam Hussein had mobile bio-weapons. German intelligence agents warned that Alwan had no proof of anything. Only a fool would have believed him, and the fools quickly arrived from the USA.

CIA hotshots bought the story and fed it to the eager boys in the Bush-Cheney administration, and they used this stuff to lead us into the quagmire now known as Iraq. Secretary of State Colin Powell actually cited this info in a speech delivered to the United Nations, a speech in which he bravely sought to justify the U.S. invasion.

It turns out that all Alwan really wanted was entry into the United States and a green card. He didn't get either. He now lives in Germany under a new name. CBS didn't tell us what the new name was.

Bush Pal Trails in Aussie Polls

John Howard, prime minister of Australia and leader of the ruling conservative coalition, is struggling to keep his team within reach of the Labor Party as Aussies begin voting in the parliamentary election. One of Howard's major handicaps is that he has inexplicably remained a faithful pal for George Bush and a strong cheerleader for the Iraq War. On the other hand, he hasn't had to deal with body counts. Australia has only 500 troops in the war, and no Aussies have been killed.

Howard's crew has also failed to sign the Kyoto agreement on climate change. Labor supports the measure. Like the Republicans, the conservative coalition is waiting for the icecaps to melt before signing anything.

Home Medical Needs

If you or someone in your household requires the purchase of home medical supplies or equipment, you may find it difficult to locate the exact businesses in your area that offer these items to the public. One way to make comparisons would be to look at the firms that sell medical needs online.

Allegro Medical is one of those firms. It was founded in 1996 as a new supplier of medical supplies and equipment. In 1998, the company began offering these items online at AllegroMedical.com. Today, Allegro Medical is one of the largest online providers of home medical supplies and equipment, with more than one million customers.

AllegroMedical.com provides over 55,000 products in 50 different categories. These include such items as baby products, diabetes test strips, carpal tunnel computer gloves, blood pressure monitors, shower chairs, polar heart monitors, Reusable Bed Pads, and a great deal more. AllegroMedical.com also offers products for health and fitness. These include items such as nutritional dietary supplements, exercise and fitness equipment, and outdoor gear.

AllegroMedical.com offers a diverse range of home medical supplies. For a closer look at all the products available, this firm makes its Allegro eCatalog available at no charge for anyone who wishes to sign up for it. Take a look. You may find exactly the home medical items you need.

Plame and Bush

Let's review the whole Valerie Plame incident. She worked for the CIA. Her husband, Joseph Wilson, made public statements in which he criticized the war with Iraq. Subsequently, someone or some group in the White House revealed Plame's employment with the CIA, which could have placed her safety in jeopardy.

When questioned under oath, several people said they had nothing to do with the dirty trick with the CIA. For example, I. Lewis Libby said under oath that he had nothing to do with the whole nasty business.

Libby was later found guilty of perjury and sentenced to 30 months in prison. Prez Bush promptly gave his old pal a pardon.

This brings us to Scott McClellen, Bush's former mouthpiece. In a new book to be released in 2008, McClellen makes statements that may or may not implicate Bush, Cheney, and Karl Rove in addition to Libby.

It's not quite yet a Bush-McClellen battle, because McClellen still has to clarify what he meant in the brief excerpt from the book revealed earlier this week. But when in doubt, the smart money always assumes that Bush lied. Never forget the WMDs.

Bush and the Plame Blame

An excerpt from a forthcoming book by Scott McClellen suggests that I.L. Libby, Karl Rove, and Prez Bush lied to the world when they said they had not leaked the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame. McClellen is a former Bush mouthpiece.

But now the publisher of the book says that's not really what McClellen's book says. Now that the excerpt has our attention, we're told the book won't be released until sometime in 2008. Knowing as we do how the current administration plays fast and loose with the truth, the editorial staff at New Moon assumes that Bush et al. were lying. What else could we expect? Isn't this the same outfit that brought us weapons of mass destruction and war without end?

Move Cheaply

I’ve moved from one address to another many times in my life. So I know how unsettling that process can be. Moving is stressful for almost everybody. If you have to make a move anytime soon, you have my sympathy.

But I can also offer something more important than sympathy. I suggest that you go online and look into the help you can get from Service Network. In 2007, Service Network has already helped over 50,000 clients move to a new address.

Service Network can help you find the best Cheap Moving Company available. The people at Service Network know that some moving companies have bad reputations. For that reason, they have established a network of movers, all of which have passed though a rigorous application process.

All the moving companies in this network are licensed and insured. They have met all the qualifications required by Service Network. If a problem does arise, Service Network provides dispute-resolution services.

Service Network also provides one last service, and it’s a good one. The company has already negotiated discounts with moving companies as high as 65 percent. That’s worth remembering the next time you move.

U.S. Media in Peril

Certain people from within and without the United States now pose a threat to the free flow of ideas in the news media. The most dangerous foreigner on the list is Rupert Murdoch, who was born into a wealthy Australian family 76 years ago. Using the wealth and influence of that family, Murdoch increased its newspaper fortune by billions of dollars.

In 1985, Murdoch became a citizen of the United States in order to circumvent American laws, which stated that only U.S. citizens could own American television stations. Through his corporation News Corp, Murdoch now owns the Fox Network, 35 television stations, Fox News, and other media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post.

Murdoch is a right-wing fanatic. When you hear his television news broadcasters supporting the neoconservative line, you are listening to the voice of Rupert Murdoch. More than any other news organization, News Corp helped push the United States into the disastrous Bush-Cheney war with Iraq.

Referring to his latest acquisition, the Wall Street Journal, Rupert recently announced that he would tinker with the paper in order to "get it right." Trust me, he's not talking about the price per share of General Electric.

Expect the Worst From Bush

As the Bush presidency continues to dismantle, expect wild efforts to recover a semblance of success as the thing collapses. In moments of desperation, failed politicians often begin gyrating hysterically. The neocons were hysterical to begin with. Why should they be any different now?

The most likely gyration would be an attack on Iran. The military will oppose it because they lack the troops to throw into the abyss, but that won't necessarily stop Bush and Cheney. The Joint Chiefs of Staff opposed the invasion of Iraq, but that didn't affect the prez and his veep.

Expect a wild ride as we head toward the 2008 elections.

Bonds Strikes Out

Federal prosecutors say they now have documentary evidence for what our eyes have been telling us for years: Barry Bonds used something more potent than Cheerios to get those muscles he used to hit more home runs than Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron.

Bonds previously told a federal grand jury that he never "knowingly" used steroids. The feds now say that they have proof that that statement was a lie, and it's the lie, not the steroids, that could put BB in jail. Perjury can win you some jail time. Steroids merely damage your liver.

The editorial staff at New Moon is now prepared to say that we're certain that neither Ruth nor Aaron ever used steroids knowingly or otherwise. Babe Ruth ate too many hot dogs. We don't know if that damaged his liver.

Lindsay To Report for Jail Time

The word at your grocer's checkout aisle is that Lindsay Lohan may report for her second day of jail time on Thanksgiving. The brainless reason for this alleged plan is that by showing up on a holiday, she may attract less attention to her arrival and departure.

The editorial staff at New Moon thinks that this scheme is one of the craziest in recent memory. If everyone has the day off, why won't more curious primates hang out down at the jail to watch the rich and famous bonehead strut her stuff?

Lindsay has to complete the second of two days in the slammer because of her previous conviction for drunk driving and possession of cocaine.

Order Gifts Online

New Year’s Day is still six weeks in the future, but I’ve already made my first resolution. With the holidays approaching, I intend to buy all my gifts online. No more wrapping and mailing for me.

New Attorney General Sworn In

Judge Michael Mukasey, Bush's nominee for attorney general, was sworn in earlier today. This appointment came on the heals of the firing of eight federal judges who refused to decide cases according to the wishes of the Bush-Cheney administration.

In his hearing before Congress, Mukasey refused to say that the practise of "water boarding" was a form of torture. U.S. interrogators and mercenaries have used this technique to force answers from detainees. Mukasey refused to say whether this form of interrogation was or was not torture. Those who have survived this technique have no doubt that it is.

Bush Signs War Bill

On Tuesday, George Bush signed a bill appropriating $196 billion for his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. On the same day, he vetoed a $150.7 bill for school aid, health care, and various other services for the American people. Bush's friends at Halliburton and other war profiteers don't need federal health care. They already have all they need.

The money for the Bush wars is in addition to an overall budget of $471 billion for the U.S. military. New Moon was unable to obtain information about specific military expenditures.

The New Moon editorial staff is made up of fiscal conservatives. The borrow-and-spend policies of the Bush-Cheney government leave us bewildered.

Lindsay Lohan Wants Blood

While we were all engrossed in the comings and goings of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan has been going for blood.

As part of the community service she is required to perform following her two drunk-driving convictions, Lindsay arrived at an American Red Cross blood center at noon on Monday and departed at 7:00 PM.

New Moon hasn't been able to find out exactly what kind of work Lindsay did for the Red Cross, although we are aware that LL must complete ten days of community service and two days of jail service as part of her sentence.

LL has already done one day of jail time and must complete the second day by January 2008.

Debt Without End

Anyway you add it up, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have already cost the United States about $1 trillion for the period from 2002 to 2008. Estimates for the period between 2003 and 2017 will easily top $3 trillion if the war continues as the present administration intends.

When Bill Clinton was halfway through his presidency, the United States had a surplus of $3 trillion for his period in office. When asked about what to do with that surplus, Clinton said, "Fix Social Security first." The Republicans applauded this wisdom and then ignored it. As was true in the Reagan years, the policy of the far right when it regained control was borrow and spend.

The horrific debt that now bears down upon us will be used in the future as an excuse for why we can't fix social security, why we can't hire more teachers, and why we can't rebuild the levies that would protect the houses of the poor.

Executive Placement

I’ve served on plenty of search committees in my day, and I know how hard the job is. When your business or organization needs to recruit someone for an executive position, you're faced with one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever have to make.

If you hire the wrong person for an important position, this will lower the productivity of everyone who works with that person. Even if you find a way to remove this employee from a position of importance, it can take months to repair the damage.

Before initiating your own search, you might want to consult A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc. AEF has been finding the right person for the right job since 1967. Throughout the years, AEF has built a strong network of the best job candidates and the best industry-leading employers.

The recruiters at AEF have all completed successful careers in the fields for which they now find new employees for new jobs. These fields include legal and legal support services, communications and technology, financial and risk management jobs, human resources, and luxury products. AEF finds the right candidates for these jobs nationwide.

AEF can point to a long history of discrete recruiting and successful executive placement. Its recruiters have the experience to make the best possible match for your job.

Leno Will Shut Down

NBC will shut down the Tonight Show at the end of this week because of the strike by its writers. The network will lay off all the program's employees. Although New Moon regrets the fact that the show's staff will be laid off, it's a great relief to realise that Jay Leno will not be able to pollute the airwaves for a while.

With a certain amount of luck, David Letterman will also go off the air. Maybe he already did.

Omar Infante Joins Cubs

The Cubs have traded Jacque Jones to the Tigers in return for utility player Omar Infante. Infante, a native of Venezuela, hit .271 in the 2007 season. He has a lifetime hitting average of .253. Infante is 25 years old.

For the Cubs, the logic of the trade is that it will reduce the number of surplus outfielders on the roster. This move creates room in the outfield for Felix Pie. Infante normally serves as a utility infielder, although he can also play outfield in a pinch.

Infante has had an up and down career as a hitter in the major leagues. If he has a down year in the 2008 season, Cub fans may question the wisdom of the trade.

Cartoon Satirizes Royal Family

The Spanish magazine El Jueves has published a cartoon that satirizes Crown Prince Felipe of Spain. A nervous Spanish judge says this insults the royal family and is therefore illegal. Slandering the royal family carries a sentence of two years in jail, and Judge Juan del Olmo insists that the magazine must name the person who drew the cartoon. The judge wants to throw the guy into a dungeon for two years.

Speaking as an American, I find it ludicrous that any European country still has a royal family. My country rebelled against the idiotic English king in the 18th century, and my country won the subsequent Revolutionary War. Spain needs a similar revolution.

No Drug Tests for Britney

Serious news for Britney Spears fans. Mark Kaplan, the lawyer representing her ex-hubby, says Miz Britney has ignored eight court-ordered drug tests. If these claims are true, they increase the likelihood that she will not regain joint custody of her two children. They might even prevent her from enjoying the reduced visitation rights she has now. Anne Kiley, Miz Britney's lawyer, says the required drug tests are "unconstitutional."

Cancun Awaits You

You may have visited Cancun, but did you drive south from the airport along the Riviera Maya? That’s where you’ll find Karisma’s five luxury resort hotels. Until you’ve stayed at one of these resorts, you don’t yet know the best of what the Cancun area has to offer.

If you’re ready for a luxury vacation where you’ll enjoy gourmet-inclusive meals for the discerning diner, consider one of the five Karisma resort hotels on the white-sand beaches. Add the finest accommodations, the best entertainment, and the best service possible, and you'll have all the ingredients for the best vacation of your life.

Each of Karisma’s five hotels has its separate appeal, although all of them feature gourmet-inclusive dining. The Azul Blue Resort offers its exclusive stress-free luxury suites. Just walk through the door and forget every worry in the world.

The El Dorado Royale Resort sits on a mile of white-sand beach, protected by 450 acres of tropical rainforest. The staff here is ready to indulge your every whim. If you would like a swim-up suite, one is already waiting for you.

The El Dorado Seaside Suites feature soothing water everywhere you go. Would you like a beach-bed with white-gauze curtains? You’ll find it here. If a swim-up Jacuzzi suite appeals to you, look no more.

The Azul Beach Hotel is especially attractive for families. Do you need a stroller for your little one? The staff will get you one at once. Do mom, dad, and the kids need something to drink while on the beach? Just ask a beach butler, and enjoy your drink.

Finally, there’s the Hidden Beach Resort for adults only. Here you can enjoy life au natural. Enjoy swim-up suites and 24-hour room service. Fine food is available onsite or at the nearby El DoradoSeasid Suites.

If you’re ready for that special retreat, now is the time to check out Karisma’s All Inclusive Cancun vacations.

Black Death

In case you thing the Black Death (bubonic and pneumonic plague) only occurred in Europe in the Middle Ages, think again. A wildlife biologist died of the disease near the Grand Canyon on November 2. He likely got the disease from the carcass of a mountain lion.

Pneumonic and bubonic plague are two forms of the disease. In medieval Europe, the disease was called the Black Death because of the black boils it left on the skin of its victims. The Black Death killed an estimated 30 percent of the population. It was the worst natural disaster in European history.

Death and Soccer

I like sports as much as the next guy, but I think I'll avoid Italian soccer games in the future. The fans of two different teams got into a fight with each other in Tuscany on Sunday. The police arrived to break up the brawl, and in the mayhem, one of the fans was shot dead.

As if this wasn't enough trouble, a group of fans in Rome started a riot in reaction to the shooting. Hundreds of young people blocked a bridge over the Tiber River, attacked a police station, and set fire to a police car.

A game at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome was cancelled, which was easily the best decision of the day.

Find Mustang Radiators

If you own a Ford Mustang, you have one of the finest sports cars in the world. As you already know, you need to keep that car in good repair if you want to enjoy it in the future. If the radiator goes bad and it isn’t replaced, serious damage can occur. If the coolant doesn’t circulate properly throughout the engine, the heat that results can, in the worse case, destroy your engine block.

Fortunately, Radiator.com has a large selection of Mustang radiators available at all times. With over 150 warehouses available throughout the country, Radiator.com can provide fast delivery. This firm also has a wide selection of coolants available for your Ford Mustang.

If you’re like me, you’ll need a mechanic to install your Mustang Radiator. Radiator.com can put you in touch with a certified mechanic in your area. The website also provides a series of up-to-date articles about radiators and related subjects.

Radiator.com sells the best radiators at the lowest prices possible. Its radiators also come with a lifetime warranty. Radiator.com can offer all this because it ignores the middlemen, makes its radiators available online, and sells directly to the customer.

I hope your radiator doesn't go bad. But if it does, you’ll know where to start looking for a replacement.

Amy's Hubby in Trouble

Rich and famous English boneheads are in the news again. Blake Fielder-Civil wasn't very civil. The husband of Amy Winehouse has been jailed because he and other thugs allegedly attacked a bartender on June 20.

It's just one thing after another for Blake and Amy. In October, both were found guilty of possession of marijuana in Norway. They were fined $715. But since they're rich and famous, they probably didn't have to borrow money to pay the fine.

Duane the Dog

After issuing a series of racial slurs, Duane the Dog now says he did it because he thinks of himself as being like a black person. He also thinks of himself as being an ally of black people. He is even fond of saying, "I'm black, too." If you find it hard to understand why a friend of black people would use language offensive to black people, join the crowd. No one else understands it either.

Then there's the question of how and why the Dog's son would record and sell his father's racist remarks. Dog says the boy must have a habit to support. Now that Duane the Dog's TV show has been suspended, Duane may also need support.

Royalty Free Stock Videos

Film-production companies often need high-definition or 2K/4k-format stock footage for whatever project they’re creating. If you can buy stock footage of the Taj Mahal, you can avoid the expense of sending a film crew to India. This is true of any production company, whether it’s creating advertisements, documentaries, travelogues, or any other sort of film.

It’s also true that cinematographers are always working on all sorts of projects throughout the world. In the process of filming all the scenes needed for a particular project, cinematographers inevitably capture more high-definition footage than they'll ever need. AlwaysHD now makes it possible for cinematographers to generate a new revenue stream from all the unused footage they’ve created.

In the past, professional cinematographers received income only when working in the field. AlwaysHD now provides a way for those cinematographers to make money from all the surplus high-definition footage they have in stock. To make this transaction as simple as possible, AlwaysHD makes HD Professional Stock Videos available to production companies as royalty-free stock footage. Once a production company buys the footage it needs, it can then use it anywhere at anytime. The cinematographers who supplied the footage receive 50 percent of the net revenue generated by the sale of their clips, paid monthly.

Increasingly, production companies want only high-definition footage. Standard-definition footage simply isn’t good enough. AlwaysHD sells only high-definition stock footage, and it sells and delivers that footage by means of the internet, thereby speeding the process of sale and transmittal. By meeting the needs of production companies, AlwaysHD also helps professional cinematographers increase their income through the sale of their unneeded stock footage.

Britney Misses Red Light!

Look out, southern California. Britney Spears is on the road, and she sometimes misses red lights. So do many other people, but only Miz Britney makes headlines when she does it. This incident allegedly occurred at the intersection of Coldwater Canyon and Mulholland Drive. Britney supposedly had her two children in the backseat and her cell phone in her hand. All members of the New Moon editorial staff will approach that intersection with great care as we drive back to Beverly Hills tonight.

Britney allegedly does not possess a valid driver's license.

Cub Wins Gold Glove

He deserves it and he got it. Derrek Lee has received his third Gold Glove Award. The tall first baseman with the sure eye and dexterous hands had to surpass a gathering of strong rivals, but he had the reach to do it.

During the 2007 season, Lee played in 147 games, gave up seven errors, and recorded a .994 fielding percentage. He won the award previously while with the Cubs in 2005 and with the Marlins in 2003.

Symark Computer Security

In today’s business environment, any sizable firm has to depend on computers in order to compete effectively. Computers give a business the advantages of speed, savings, and reliability. But a computer brings with it the challenge of security. Computer criminals try to breach computer systems, sometimes for financial gain and sometimes only to commit computer vandalism.

Symark Software International is a major supplier of software security for users of UNIX and Linux systems. And now its new PowerBroker and PowerPassword software provide complete security for the new HP Integrity servers that run the HP-UX 11i v3 operating system. This new security software protects a business’s data while meeting the requirements of federal and industry rules and regulations.

Symark PowerBroker meets one essential need by protecting a system’s root account, which has traditionally been the most fragile element in business computer and software systems. PowerBroker protects against threats from both within and without.

Simultaneously, Symark PowerPassword software protects a system’s logon and password information through an automated password management system, creating, in effect, a Password Reset every time the user logs off and on. This provides another level of safety for business computers.

Finally, once Symark’s security software has been installed, the firm provides unrivaled technical support.

Britney's Mom Is To Blame

The biological and legal mother of Britney Spears now states that she is responsible for the way that Britney turned out--basically a wacked out pop star who can't park her car without running into something or someone. Mom's name is Lynne Spears, and mom says the trouble started when she guided Britney into stardom without seeing the manure storm this would lead to. She didn't have the time to help Britney make her way along the poop path.

Mom is now going to write a book about "parenting." For some reason, the editorial staff here at New Moon doesn't see this book leading to any sort of good outcome. If mom's book about parenting is anything like her experience at parenting, we don't see Lynne's book as much of a rival to Doctor Spock's.

McCartney Kisses Someone

If you're so bored that you find yourself wondering what Paul McCartney is up to, here's the latest. Paul was seen kissing someone named Nancy Shevell somewhere on Long Island. Both Paul and Nancy are still married, but not to each other. Each is separated from his/her spouse, which is terribly unfortunate but not the least bit uncommon as society continues to unravel.

If you really want to know what all this means, I suggest you read everything ever written by Nostradamus. You'll quickly learn that in the year 3797, the world will come to an end. Goodbye, Paul. Goodbye, Nancy.

Lose Weight Now

If you are dangerously overweight, you may have tried every option you know of to get rid of those unwanted pounds. Your weight may endanger both your physical and emotional health. If you are so overweight that your life is at risk, you may need weight-loss surgery.

Various doctors have practiced different forms of weight-loss surgery in the past. Often, these procedures have been highly invasive and presented dangers that only added to the risk the overweight patient experienced. Fortunately, newer, less-invasive forms of weight-loss surgery are now available.

Journey Lite maintains weight-loss surgical facilities in Houston, Texas; Thousand Oaks, California; and Tampa, Florida. Other facilities are now under development. At these locations, skilled surgeons practice a new noninvasive weight-loss procedure known as Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB). Using this procedure, a Journey Lite surgeon makes a small incision and places an adjustable gastric band around the upper part of the patient’s stomach. Once the band is in place, the patient eats less and no longer feels the constant hunger that leads to overeating and seriously overweight symptoms.

This procedure does not require the cutting, stapling, or rerouting of the stomach or intestines used in more primitive surgeries. LAGB is so simple that it can be performed on an out-patient basis, and the recovery period is shorter than with earlier surgical procedures. If it became necessary, the adjustable gastric band could be removed as easily as it was inserted.

If you are seriously overweight, you may wish to consider houston Lap band surgery.

Another Bad Shot for Cheney

Yesterday, U.S. House Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced a bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. Kucinich introduced the bill because of Cheney's various fabrications about Iraq. These untruths formed the justification for the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which set off a civil war that continues to this day. Members of the House referred the Kucinich bill to a committee, where it will die without a trial.

Kucinich might have been more successful if he had justified his bill by pointing out Cheney's poor handling of a shotgun.

Britney Gets Cheated

Britney Spears fans will be outraged to learn that her new album has dropped from the number-one spot on Billboard charts because Billboard changed the rules. Up until now, Billboard didn't count the sales of any album sold only by mega-monster Wal-Mart. But in a stunning reversal of its own rules, Billboard suddenly decided to count Wal-Mart sales, which allowed an upstart group called the Eagles to capture number one in the hit parade.

Everyone is out to get Britney. Why don't they leave her alone?

Cost of Being Britney

How much does it cost to be Britney Spears? The answer to that difficult question seems to be $353,217 a month. The two main ingredients in this fistful of cash appear to be party expenses and medical expenses. It costs a pile of dough to stay healthy enough to enjoy all those parties.

Britney coughed up all this fascinating info for her never-ending court case dealing with the custody of her two kids. She and ex-hubby Kevin Federline are giving the court all kinds of knowledge that may or may not mean anything to you and me.

Writers Guild Strike

The members of the Los Angeles branch of the Writers Guild of America are a mixed bunch. They're presently on strike, but what else do they have in common?

A few make over a million dollars a year. The small fry are lucky to make $50,000. And almost 50 percent are unemployed. It's hard to build unity in a group like that, but they seem to have done it for the present.

One thing is certain. The owners of the networks make far more cash than anyone writing jokes for the late-night comedians.

Foot Trouble for Britney

Could someone please hire a driver for Britney Spears before she destroys the feet of everyone in southern California.

First she ran over the feet of two photographers who were wasting film trying to snap her photo. Now it seems that she ran over a police officer's foot on Friday. Consider how much it will cost the people of Los Angeles to pay the medical costs for the policeman. We don't know who will have to pay for the photographers' repairs.

Don't they have chauffeurs in Los Angeles?

Gas Credit Cards

When you travel by car, it’s easy to forget to take enough money. But as long as you have a good credit card, you don’t have to worry when you start to run low on gasoline.

People Still Read

In case you believe the current wisdom, which states that people no longer buy and read books, an article by Karen R. Long in the Cleveland Plain Dealer says it ain't so. According to Long, people in the USA paid $35.69 billion for 3.1 billion books last year. This hefty sum amounted to an all-time record, not bad for a year when many prophets were saying the book was dead.

Although the article acknowledges that not all the books on the shelf would win the approval of your average high-school English teacher, there's still room this fall for new books by fine writers such as Studs Terkel, Philip Roth, and Richard Russo.

Writers Guild Strike

The Hollywood branch of the Writers Guild of America is set to go on strike. If the strike occurs, the late-night talk show hosts will have nothing to say. Here at New Moon, we say, "Please do go on strike." If you can get Leno and Letterman to shut up for a while, the world will be a better place. If the strike lasts forever, it will be even better. Try running anything with Groucho Marx instead. Or bring back Jack Benny for the next twenty years. Leno and Letterman deserve early retirement.

Britney Is Back

Just when you start to forget about her, Britney Spears pulls one of the tricks used by our rich and famous boneheads. This time, the pictures that accompany her new album include what we are supposed to see as a confessional. In this context, Britney dresses and behaves in what are clearly inappropriate ways. These photos are designed to create controversy, thereby providing more publicity for Britney. When entertainers have no talent to begin with, what else can they do?

Last Prophecy of Nostradamus

In 1566, Nostradamus fell deathly ill, so ill that a priest performed the last rites on July 1. The great prophet then said that he would die by the end of the next day. As predicted, Nostradamus died on July 2. People who are infatuated with the legend of Nostradamus often cite these events as proof of the great man's ability to predict the future.

Now here's how you can be remembered as a great prophet. If you have the misfortune to fall deathly ill, at least once each day tell someone you'll be dead by the end of the next day. You could be wrong every day for years, but inevitably you'll be right. It's a statistical certainty that eventually your prediction will be correct.
