Keeping those New Years Resolutions!

How many of us keep those resolutions?? Not many! A whopping 85% of us do not keep their resolutions for very long. Want to beat the odds? First off you'll have a higher success rate if you pick just one resolution. And second, you need to start over again if you cheat. Too many people just throw in the towel once they slip! Here are some more tips!

Holiday Hangover......

Boy, now the real craziness begins!!
Now that Christmas has come and gone, it's time to head back to the mall -- to deal with returns.
According to a recent survey, 49 percent of shoppers say they are going back to the stores. While some are hitting the post-holiday sales, others are looking to return gifts.
Brace yourself. Stores are tired of getting ripped off -- and trying desperately to hold onto the money they earned over the Christmas shopping season -- so they are going to have people jumping through more hoops than normal during the returns process.
Some restrictions to look out for:
shortened return periods
no cash back -- only store credit
no refunds at all
restocking fees
some serial returners being blacklisted
So, make sure you guard your gift receipts with your life. They often make the difference between cash back and a credit at the store.

What will be your New Years Resolution?

Here are some common choices:
Spend more time with family and friends
Lose weight
Quit smoking
Enjoy life more
Quit drinking
Get out of debt
Learn something new
Help others
Get organized  
What will you choose to do?

No 'Effin' way!

A flustered woman is spitting four letter words at the administrators of Facebook after they refused to allow her to mention her hometown -- Effin, Ireland.
Ann Marie Kennedy, who joined the social networking site in June, says that she's being discriminated against because some folks use her town's name as shorthand for a frowned upon four-letter word. She says "I'm a proud Effin woman. There are other Effin people around the world, and they want to put down that Effin is their home town."
Facebook is reportedly taking a new look at its Effin decision.

Another shooting at VA Tech

Gun violence at Virginia Tech left a police officer and his alleged assailant dead yesterday (Thursday), but it wasn't nearly as bad as the 2007 shooting rampage at the campus, which remains the deadliest in modern U.S. history.

In a strange coincidence, the latest shooting took place on the same day Virginia Tech officials were in Washington, D.C., arguing over a government fine for their alleged mishandling of the 2007 incident.
Although the alleged shooter turned the gun on himself shortly after killing the officer, the school's high-tech alert system warning students and faculty members to stay indoors effectively locked down the campus this time.

OMG, I loved the Three Stooges years ago and now, this movie looks hysterical. Watch the trailer!

Oh boy, one of my favorite show, Mythbusters, had a big boo boo happen.

A cannonball experiment went astray the other day in the Northern California city of Dublin, wreaking havoc on a neighborhood. It bounced off the sidewalk and went through the front door of a family's home, past a sleeping couple, leaving a 10-inch hole in a bedroom wall, hit the roof of another home and then bounced across the street and went through the window of a minivan.
The cannonball was supposed to hit a few water-filled barrels and a concrete wall, but missed its target. According to Alameda County Sheriff Sergeant J.D. Nelson, who is also a consultant on the show, producers have shot off the same cannon at a firing range near that neighborhood 50 times without incident.

What a huge Hollywood loss!

Harry Morgan, one of TV's busiest character actors, died Wednesday in L.A. at age 96.

Best known as Colonel Potter in MASH and Bill Gannon in both the '60s version of Dragnet and its 1987 movie spoof, the Detroit native was known for his wry smile, baritone voice and easy, self-depreciating humor. He had such a recognizable voice and warm feel about him. He will be missed!

Poor Alec!

Alec Baldwin was kicked off a plane yesterday at Los Angeles International airport after he refused to stop playing a game on his cellphone.

I got his tweet yesterday; "Flight attendant on American reamed me out for playing Words With Friends while we sat at the gate, not movin'." He ended up taking a later flight on the airline, but wrote, "Last flight with American -- where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950s find jobs as flight attendants."

In a statement, the actor's rep confirmed, "Alec was asked to leave the flight for playing Words With Friends while parked at the gate. He loves WWF so much that he was willing to leave a plane for it, but he has already boarded another AA flight."

Alec joins a growing list of celebs who've been kicked off planes. Earlier this week, country singer John Rich was booted from a Southwest flight after he displayed "drunken behavior." Green Day frontman Billy Joe Armstrong was removed, also from Southwest, in September for wearing sagging pants, and director Kevin Smith made headlines last year when he was deemed "too fat to fly," also by Southwest.

Pearl Harbor...70 years ago?!

Navy veteran Lou Gore was startled by the muffled thuds of explosions and a burst of commotion while cleaning up from breakfast below deck on the USS Phoenix, a cruiser docked at Pearl Harbor.

Hurrying topside, the 18-year-old seaman second-class was confronted by pandemonium he was unable to immediately comprehend -- flames shooting skyward, roiling clouds of dark, acrid smoke, swarms of fighter-bombers buzzing low overhead. That was 70 years ago today......How scary for an 18 year old....read more about Lou and other stories at MSN.com.

Kate

Gosselin ran her first marathon Sunday in Las Vegas -- as a life lesson for her eight kids. Before the race, which she finished in five hours, Kate told People magazine, "I'm running this because I want to show that with dedication and determination anything is possible. I want them to remember this moment when their mom completed a marathon, knowing that nothing in life should stop them from attaining their goals." But she added, "This will probably be one of the most painful messages I will ever impart to them."

Video Games for Urinals? Really??

The British video game company Captive Media has developed a urinal that features a urine-controlled video game console.
They call it the first "hands-free" video gaming console of its kind.
The user sees three targets to aim for in the bowl and the console detects where he is aiming his stream with an infrared device.
The games, which include a skiing challenge and a multiple choice quiz, are played on a 12-inch LCD screen, mounted on the wall.
One positive side effect of the games is that the bathrooms are cleaner because users are rewarded for accuracy.

Black Friday spending

Black Friday deals brought shoppers out in record numbers this year, which created chaos in some areas, but also record spending, according to retail analysts.
A combined 226 million people shopped at brick-and-mortar and online stores during the four-day Black Friday weekend, up 14 million from last year, according to a survey conducted for the National Retail Federation.
The online market research firm BIGresearch reported that consumers spent an estimated $52 billion during the weekend, which kicked off on Thanksgiving Day in some stores.
And shoppers were spending a bit more. Last year, the average shopper spent $365.34 over the weekend, while this year it was up to $398.62. Surprisingly, nearly half of the Black Friday shoppers surveyed by The NDP Group said that they had only bought items for themselves so far.

Why eat out on Thanksgiving?

Unless you're one of those families that has your Thanksgiving Day traditions very, very set, you might be still wondering where you'll be eating your mandatory turkey dinner.
Either that, or you're scrambling to get ready for the tsunami of family members who will show up at your door and demand to be fed and entertained.
It's all a lot of stress and work that can be avoided completely if you simply decide to go out for Thanksgiving dinner.
Here are a bunch of reasons it's a great idea to spend Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant:

No dishes

No cooking all day

No leftovers that you feel guilty about throwing out

No relatives

No fighting over the limited number of drumsticks

Being waited on at all times

No one will complain about your cooking

And you won't have to complain about someone else's cooking

No cranberry sauce from a can

No turkey sandwiches for two weeks

Expensive liquor means fewer drunk rants from disgruntled family members

Attentive waiters means fewer outbursts from disgruntled family members

Anyone with dietary restrictions can order off the regular menu

Your Thanksgiving day will only last two hours -- at most!

The last Thanksgiving in Iraq!

Even though the official Thanksgiving holiday in the United States is later this week, U.S. soldiers in Iraq gathered for an early Thanksgiving dinner because they are shutting down the last dining facility as they prepare to depart the country for good.
More than 6,000 soldiers and contractors ate their last Thanksgiving meal in Iraq at tables decorated with colorful paper turkeys and "Happy Thanksgiving" signs hanging overhead.
They had crab legs, turkey, ham, dressing, yams, green beans, rolls, corn bread, mashed potatoes -- as well as a bunch of desserts.
"Seeing that this is the last cooked meal for the soldiers here, it's a good thing, 'cause we know we're moving out," said 45-year-old Sergeant James Scott, who is on his second Iraq deployment.
President Barack Obama announced on October 21 that U.S. forces would leave by the end of this year -- and it sure looks like it's happening.

Dr. Conrad Murray 'Guilty'!

Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty yesterday of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson.

Dr. Murray was immediately taken into custody. Bail was denied. He could get up to four years in prison and lose his medical license when he's sentenced November 29th.

Murray had pled not guilty to the charge after prosecutors accused him of administering a fatal dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol to the singer in June 2009.

After the verdict was announced, Michael's parents released a statement, saying, "We have been waiting for this moment for a very long time and we couldn't hold back tears of joy in the courtroom. Even though nothing can bring back our son, justice has finally been served! We can't wait to go home and share this day with Michael's children."

His sister La Toya tweeted, "VICTORY!!!!!!... Michael I love you and I will continue to fight until ALL are brought to justice!"

Reasons guys prefer Brunettes?!

While blondes get most of the attention, there are lots of men who gravitate toward brunettes. Why?

Well, there are actually lots of scientifically proven reasons that guys prefer brunettes, including:

Tats Look Better on Brunettes -- Researchers actually studied this and found blondes with tattoos received lower ratings than brunettes with body art.

Brunettes Are Better Conversation -- This one's not that shocking, but a study found 63 percent of men would prefer to engage in an in-depth conversation with a brunette.

Brunettes Are Low-Maintenance -- A British study found that most men believe brunettes are self-sufficient. On the other hand, blondes are thought of as lacking independence and being needy.

Brunettes Are More Serious -- There comes a time in every man's life when it's time to settle down ... and reach for a Brunette. Researchers have found that brunettes are perceived as being more down-to-earth and practical.

Bieber Baby??

Unlike most teenage boys, Justin Bieber is flatly denying allegations that he's had sex -- and insisting he didn't father a child with a California woman who's just filed a paternity suit against him.

In court papers, Mariah Yeater says that The Bieb propositioned her last October 25th and notes, "Based upon the timing as well as the fact there were no other possible men that I had sex with that could be the father of this baby, I believe that Justin Bieber is in fact the father of my baby."

Bieber's rep tells Radar Online "While we haven't yet seen the lawsuit, it's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations."

Terror plot by 4 Seniors?!

I cannot believe this story....well, I guess these are just allegations......

The four senior citizens from Georgia, accused of plotting a wave of terror that included the use of explosives and the lethal toxin ricin, appeared in court yesterday.

The foursome -- 73-year-old Frederick Thomas, 67-year-old Dan Roberts, 65-year-old Ray Adams, and 68-year-old Samuel Crump -- sported glasses and gray or white hair, and had trouble hearing the judge, although she was using a microphone.

Court documents say the quartet was modeling their plot after an online novel called Absolved, about a small group of citizens that attack U.S. officials. Their families, however, say the charges are "baloney," with Thomas' wife, Charlotte, pointing to his 30 years in the U.S. Navy. She said, "He would not do anything against his country. He loves his country."
