Good 4th of July
Today was a good 4th of July. Didn't do much during the day but in the afternoon my wife and I went to do a little shopping and came back home. I made myself a snow cone with Blueberry syrup and played the Nintendo Wii while my wife watched her favorite TV series on DVD (Charmed). After playing th Wii for a little while my wife and I went to eat at Olive Garden. We came back home and same routine, play Wii and watch "Charmed" (makes me feel like Charmed is more important than me). Now we are laying in the bed watching Charmed while our Puppy Precious is bothering us and walking all over the bed. Precious is bad (in a good, funny sort of way) but fun at the same time. I guess it's until tomorrow.
PS.
Precious won't be still on the bed, maybe it's time for her to go to her own bed.

GEN McChrystal scoop goes viral before Rolling Stone publishes
Magazine spokesman Mark Neschis told Yahoo! News that Rolling Stone generally does not put entire national affairs stories online, instead running them only in the print magazine. (One recent exception was Tim Dickinson's investigative piece this month on the BP oil spill.)
While a magazine understandably wants to reap the financial benefits of having a major, deeply reported story only available on the newsstand, the idea of holding breaking news for print doesn't easily mesh with the demands of the 24/7 online news cycle. Not to mention, with McChrystal summoned to the White House to discuss his comments made in front of reporter Michael Hastings, the public is going to want to know what he actually said.
Still, it's not as if Rolling Stone didn't want to generate buzz, as Neschis explained: "I gave an advancer to the AP."
The Associated Press got things going Monday afternoon, in a short piece about McChrystal's frustration with U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, but didn't go into all the gory details that would later surface.
NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell quickly tweeted: "Rolling Stone quotes Gen McChrystal says Amb(ret Gen) Eikenberry 'betrayed' him with leaked memo last yr doubting Karzai story is out fri."
Clearly, competitors can't wait until Friday to pick up a copy, especially when McChrystal has already been summoned to the White House. Neschis said that other news organizations requested a copy, and published more details from the magazine article. However, Neschis said that he did not provide a copy to Politico or to Time magazine's political writer Mark Halperin — but both published the entire story Tuesday.
Still, with the story published on Politico and elsewhere, the genie was out of the bottle. MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski read straight from the text of the article while Rolling Stone Executive Editor Eric Bates sat at the table for an interview. (Rolling Stone itself took a few more hours after the MSNBC broadcast to break down and post the piece on its own site.)
Bates, in the "Morning Joe" interview, said that the magazine had fact-checked the piece over the previous week and that there were no objections from McChrystal before publication. Considering that McChrystal has already apologized, presumably he won't later claim he was quoted out of context.
As to how Hastings got such caustic remarks out of McChrystal, Bates explained that Hastings got "really unprecedented access" with the general and his staff.
"We reported this story over the course of several months," Bates said. "We were with him on a trip in Europe that wound up getting extended because of the volcano in Iceland. So our reporter was kind of trapped with him for about two weeks in Paris and traveling from Paris to Berlin. They couldn't fly, so they had to take a bus. So we really spent a lot of time with him and really got to look behind the curtain, and hear how he and his men, top men, talk among themselves on their own." Sphere: Related Content

Lee DeWyze is new `American Idol'
Host Ryan Seacrest said on Wednesday's finale that the 24-year-old DeWyze of Mount Prospect, Ill., edged Bowersox, also 24, of Toledo, Ohio, in viewer votes cast after Tuesday's performance show.
Although Bowersox drew higher marks from the judges for her performance this week, the panel had reaffirmed its respect for DeWyze's talent and his character — and the audience agreed. He'll release a single, "Beautiful Day."
Wednesday's finale also marked the departure of judge Simon Cowell, walking down memory lane through film clips, a parody song by Dane Clark and the return of ex-judge Paula Abdul. Sphere: Related Content

Jennifer Hudson and Sister Establish Foundation
The Hudson-King Foundation for Families of Slain Victims was named in honor of Jennifer Hudson's murdered mother Darnell Hudson Donerson, brother Jason Hudson and nephew Julian King. The purpose of the Foundation is to care for the needs of families who have lost relatives to a violent crime. This includes food, clothing, shelter and grief counseling.
"The specific purpose of the Foundation is to care for the needs of families who have lost relatives to a violent crime," the family said in a statement. "This encompasses their basic needs of food, clothing and shelter as well as grief counseling."
Before the announcement was made, a prayer vigil was held Wednesday night in Chicago.
"Jennifer sang her first song in this church -- she said her first prayer in this church," said her cousin Shari Nichols Witt of the Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist Church. Witt also spoke of the actress-singer's slain nephew, saying seven-year-old Julian King "seemed like he was ahead of his time."
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, also spoke at the vigil, and said Hudson, 27, and her family "are overwhelmed by the suddenness and the unexpectedness of it all. This family knows triumph, and they also know tragedy."
William Balfour, 27, the estranged husband of Hudson's sister Julia and the parolee considered a suspect in their shooting deaths, was held in police custody Thursday.
Donations to the Hudson-King Foundation can be sent:

237 Reasons to have Sex
Other interesting results show that more women prize intelligence (#39) over humor (#44), but men prefer beautiful eyes (#45) to both intelligence (#48) and humor (didn’t make men’s Top 50).
It’s not much of a surprise but the biggest differences between men and women involve a lot of physical cues. For instance, men listed revealing clothes at a far higher level than women as well as a desirable body or an attractive face.
Men also tended to favor sex for reputation reasons more than women, citing I wanted to have more sex than my friends, I needed another notch on my belt, I wanted to brag to my friends about my conquests, and someone dared me as popular reasons.
Women tended to prioritize sex as a way of showing their affection or love for a person. And also they preferred romance and becoming closer to their partner.
But some of the most amusing reasons for sex are also the least common for both men and women.
* I wanted to stop my partner’s nagging.
* I wanted to get out of doing something.
* I wanted to get rid of a headache.
* I was slumming.
* I wanted to even the score with a cheating partner.
And last but not least … I wanted to change the topic of conversation.

What to do when sex turns out not so great!
Men in the relationship are hard noise, get the job done, and don't ask questions along the way. I admit it, I am one of those guys. However, when it comes to my wife, I have always put her above all the rest, and placed her high on a cloud, cause that is where she belongs. When she isn't in my arms, of course. Well, one of the many complaints from women is that their husband doesn't have intimacy and tenderness. Women love to be held, touched, romanced, and caressed, it is the one thing that makes them feel special in their relationship. Doing the little things is what shows a woman, that you do have a heart, and are not just in it for sex. So what does one do to bring this aspect back into there love life. One little phrase comes to mind that sums it all up. "Do onto Others, as You would have done onto You!" Isn't that the best. If you want to be held, then hold your partner, if you want to be caressed, then caress your partner, and if you want to be romanced, then you got it romance your partner. Who said that it had to be one sided. He will get the picture, and start reciprocating the emotion.
There is another very common complaint from women, and that is they are getting to repetitious and perhaps boring. Believe me, it is so easy to fall into this trap, especially in relationship that have lasted more than 10 years. It is so easy to get caught into a sexual routine, same time, same way, and yes same place. The place part bothers me a little, we do have children, and making love outside the bedroom, is sort of out of the question. But the other factors can help influence the routine some. Variety here is the key to success, spicing up your sex life is a great way to get out of the daily routines of sex. My opinion, go sex toy shopping. I too was skeptical in the beginning, but now it makes things so much more interesting. And once you get those creative juices flowing, the routine will be changed and you have brought back the spark in your relationship. The last big complaint that women have when their sex isn't good, is the all powerful Foreplay. There are a few articles on this site that will help you out in the foreplay department. Foreplay doesn't mean just oral sex. Foreplay can start in the early morning right before heading off to work, and it can work it's way all the way into the evening if it is done right. Women need and desire foreplay, because they are emotional creatures. Their minds feed on the passion of knowing what they may or may not be getting later on after a nice quiet evening. Foreplay is the key to helping a woman become sufficiently aroused before intercourse begins. This will also help her achieve her special feeling during intercourse.
So I will close on one important fact. Communication with your partner is the key to bringing the satisfying sexual relations back into your relationship. Knowing your partners needs will greatly improve your relationship and bring yourselves closer to intimacy, the way it should be.

Sam presents NEW !! Best Stock Picks of the Decade !! posted at Surfer Sam and Friends, saying, "Best Stock Picks of the Decade
Someone is Getting Rich
What do the best stock picks of the decade have in common? With the exception of Apple, they were very small companies at the start. Some were microcap stocks with a market capitalization of less than $300 million. They were also unknown companies, and received little publicity or name recognition in the financial press. These stocks were also more volatile than the stocks of established large-cap companies. Most important, every one of them is characterized by strong consistent revenue growth and earnings growth. Although all are successful, these companies are a diverse group of enterprises. They demonstrate the ingenuity and creativity that builds and sustains business.
In spite of the present climate of economic weakness, with disasters in the housing and financial sectors, the threat of inflation and possible higher interest rates, other extraordinary companies like these are right now building the base for a decade of spectacular stock returns. Check out these 10 best stock picks of the decade for clues to build your portfolio of rewarding stock investments."
