PIP Breast Implants Scare.

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:40:00 +0000

PIP breast implants manufactured by Poly Implant Prothese in France are continuing to hit the news with increased issues and problems arising everyday. In another report it seems that the same implants have been re branded by a Dutch company and used in Europe. The implants where a cheaper alternative that was obviously attractive to surgeons and implantees alike.

However recent tests and released information seems to show that the implants were poorly manufactured and filled with an inferior type of silicone most probably intended for mattresses. So now a large number of women are suffering serious illness and side effects from their pip implants rupturing and spreading the contents around the body.

The main problem for women with ruptured implants is the infiltration of lymph glands. The implications of this are extremely serious and the full list if symptoms is added to on an almost daily basis. They range from fibromyalgia, ME (exhaustion), headaches, hair loss and digestive disruption.

The only way to deal with this is the complete removal of the pip implants and all infected lymph glands. There needs to be a complete clean out of everything that the silicone has spread into. This is a serious issue for thousands of women in the UK and even more globally that needs to be pushed so that all the women suffering can get their lives back in order.

Swine Flu and the Media Frenzy.....

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:11:00 +0000

Swine flu is most definitely the global medias' latest baby and they are feeding off it like a pack of wild dogs. Of course they are reporting facts but it's best to remember that the facts they choose and the manner they are reported are based on media coverage and viewing figures. Pandemic seems to be the favoured description. The genuine facts about swine flu just aren't so dramatic.

Here in the UK it is stated that there have been no reported fatalities from swine flu outside of Mexico. That doesn't mean people outside of Mexico haven't contracted it, it means no one has died. Certainly in this country the medical profession have clearly stated that people who contracted swine flu had very few problems; it really wasn't that serious. We have a natural immunity to it and fight it off easily. Besides they also state they have a huge stock pile of effective anti virus that is capable of treating millions of people.

It's not clear yet why people in Mexico died from the swine flu virus. Initial prognosis suggests it is most likely a different strain. Perhaps people in Mexico don't have as strong an immunity to flu or perhaps the virus mutated before it reached the US and Europe.

Either way the word pandemic isn't describing anything other than global flu and we've been here before. Bird flu fizzled out fairly quickly without too much trouble or incidence. The media are only doing their jobs but the genuine facts speak for themselves.

Google Set To Change Its Algorithm To Combat Spam

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:46:00 +0000

So it seems in some way the prediction was correct. Although not completely for the reasons I suggested a month or so ago about the number of scam and rip off style reviews, the reasons given are very similar. The official line is:

"to combat the spate of links leading to malicious web pages appearing at the top of Google’s search results"

How did I know this was coming? It was obvious wasn't it? Google are as notorious as Craigslist for the level of control they command over the way their web tools and sites are used. It's no bad thing either, continually levelling the playing field and removing the opportunities for scammers to propogate and thrive is in everyone's best interests. Especially those who rely on convential and honest methods of business promotion.

So keep your eye on the hill.....the monster is coming.....

I'll post further updates as more unfolds.

Heather Schmidt

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 16:35:00 +0000

Heather Schmidt, a classical singing artist, has contacted the FBI after what are suspected to be terrorist threats.

It seems Heather Schmidt may have become a target for al qaeda after performing in Pakistan. Her presence in Pakistan captured the attention of the then President Musharraf and an invitation to the Presidents mansion was accepted.

Published photographs of Heather Schmidt and President Musharraf are thought to be the reasons behind the suspected terrorist threats against her. Strange little occurences on Facebook, with photographs and even her schedule have slowly eaten away at Heather Schmidts' resolve and both herself and her management are growing more concerned.

Brookville NY

Brookville NY is a small village in Nassau county New York. Thought situated just outside Manhattan (25 miles away) it is a secluded and quiet little place.

The quiet and sleepy suburban village of Brookville N.Y is a haven for rich families wanting to give their children a good start in life. Residents guard their privacy well and that attracted Jeniffer Lopez, currently the most famous resident if Brookville ny.

Long Island University is in Brookville n.y. having a university campus since 1926.

Suzan Lewis

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:16:00 +0000

Suzan Lewis is creating a bit of a stir amongst the internet community. The story relates to Suzan Lewis being the long lost daughter of comedian Jerry Lewis and sister of rock n roll legend Gary Lewis.

The relationship of both Jerry and Gary to Suzan Lewis was conclusively proved in a live and televised DNA test. Reality TV, you either love it or hate it. Apparently Gary Lewis is sympathetic to Suzan Lewis' plight but their father, it's suggested, isn't so. Her father didn't want it publicly known he had an illegitimate child and has discontinued the brief relationship.
It was her brother Gary who provided the DNA to conduct the test as he said if the roles where reversed he would want to know who his father was.

All this eventually came out on March 5th of this year and the disabled and formerly homeless Suzan Lewis finally discovered the truth.

Both Suzan Lewis and brother Gary Lewis are to be interviewed by Howard Stern on March 18th on his radio show.

Cookie Diet

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 01:15:00 +0000

Cookie diet mania is hitting the internet in a very big way. It's all to do with Dr Sanford Siegals' unusual claim that with his cookie diet you can eat six cookies a day plus a sensible meal and you'll lose weight.

A cookie diet? What next...an ice cream diet? Apparently a number of big name stars have used it with success. I'm not going to bother to name them....The idea that eating a cookie diet is synonymous with losing weight is a strange one. Processed food and a health regime? How likely is it to actually work?

The Clickbank Slap…? Is More Looming?

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 00:46:00 +0000

Clickbanks change in terms and conditions and reserving the right to adjust them again at any given time could be the rumblings of something bigger. On the other hand it could just be knee jerk whimpering.

The current trend of not quite libellous advertising strategies of the scam and rip off reviewers whose web sites laud it at the very top of Google could be the reason. Now if you’re reading this and wondering "what the hell is clickbank?" allow me to elucidate.

Clickbank is essentially an online marketplace. Product and software publishers can use the marketplace to sell their products and utilise other useful resources like affiliate programs and payment processing. The advantages are that anyone can promote a product on a huge marketplace and allow others to sell the products for them without having to set up membership sites, affiliate programs, complex payment schemes and payment processors. It’s a very good and affordable way to promote a product to a huge number of people.

But the aforementioned advertising tactics have surely cast a shadow on the ethics, policies and reputation of clickbank. In most cases the advertisers name specific products and occasionally actual people. Bearing in mind that clickbank both checks and monitors all products before they enter the marketplace and supposedly after, it does in some way tar clickbank with the same scam/rip off brush.

Considering both the size and influence of clickbank this isn’t really the brightest of campaign strategies and has forced them (clickbank) to distance themselves in a way that accepts no responsibility for publisher and affiliate activities alike. The use of the clickbank name is totally prohibited without prior consent and no responsibility is accepted for any of the products on the marketplace. Hmmm...a kop out perhaps?

So the question now really is: How much influence and sway do clickbank have with Google and are they getting themselves out of the way if the Google monster is stirring? Or is it really just the self deprecating whimper of a beaten and now uninterested clickbank?

Probably the latter is the most likely scenario. If Google are already prepared to allow that type of advert to run then it seems unlikely they’ll change their minds. But that’s the thing with Google; you just never know.

What’s that coming over the hill...? Is it a monster...?

Of course it could just be that I am talking out of my own inadvisable orifice. Feel free to join in. We could start a web site: -

Tina Davis

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:55:00 +0000

Tina Davis and Chris Brown???? Then he beats up Rihanna???? This story gets more bizarre by the day.

According to relevant sources Tina Davis sent a text message about her and Chris Brown meeting up. Rihanna saw the text message, got angry and slapped her cheating boyfriend upside the head. Apparently that was too much and big man Chris went ape.

Tina Davis is Chris Browns' 40 year old manager and it's been suggested that a relationship between them had been going on since he was 16 years old, he's now 19. Hmmm, now that's just down right NAASSTTY.

However none of this seems to have dulled the relationship between Rihanna and Chris, perhaps he really didn't mean it and promises it will never happen again. Bless.

Its a source of complete mystery why any woman, but especially one like Rihanna, would get back together with a man that has cheated, lied and beaten her up.

That Picture Of Rihanna - Continued.

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 19:50:00 +0000

Such a hot topic this one. I feel the need to hurl further spanners with regard to a lot of the days commentary.

How is it that it seems to be perfectly acceptable for photographers to follow Rihanna (and other female celebrities) around beaches and events to photograph, often in secret, different situations in an attempt to capture a revealing image. Like a bikini slip or apicture from above or some see through clothing.

But one picture, just one, of a genuine, real world occurence in a popular celebrities life and all the bleating starts about how she shouldbe left alone. About how its private, not right and how would you feel if it was your mother/sister/daughter. I re-direct you back to the previous paragraph.

Reality Check

If Rihanna was that bothered then the big story would be the pending law suit.

All that aside the amazing little 19 year old has a huge world wide fan base of people that care and want to know.

As previously stated; if it really bothers you that much, Don't Look At It.

That Picture Of Rihanna

noreply@blogger.com (Tim) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:23:00 +0000

That picture of Rihanna looking all beat up has sparked a fair bit of comment and controversy.

Initial comments were unclear as to it's authenticity both as the alleged police photograph and as a photoshop knock up.

A statement has been released by the police that confirmed it resembled an image from a domestic violence case they are working on.

Most believe the picture of Rihanna isn't a production of photoshop and I agree, it looks genuine and truly awful.

In general most real fans are asking that she be left in peace to deal with her life....yeah right....like that's gonna happen.

It's a terrible thing and no-one desrves to be treated like that. But domestic violence is terrible for lots of women all over the world and if Rihannas courage and determination helps at least one then that can only be a good thing.

Besides why should she hide away, she's done nothing wrong. Why not let the world see what the bullying boyfriend did to her.

If it's too painful for you then don't look at the pictures.

The Chicago Cubs are a professional baseball franchise based in Chicago, Illinois. They are members and currently the back-to-back champions of the Central Division of Major League Baseball's National League. They are one of two Major League clubs based in Chicago, (the other being the Chicago White Sox) and they are one of the two remaining charter members of N.L. (the other being the Atlanta Braves). The franchise is infamous for its 100-year title drought, which is longer than that of any other major North American professional sports teams.[1][2]

The Cubs are often referred as "The North Siders" because Wrigley Field, where they have played their home games since 1916, is located in Chicago's north side Lakeview community. They are also often called The Boys in Blue noting the team's primary uniform color, (which itself is often referred to as "Cubbie Blue") or simply as "The Cubbies."[3]

Chicago's manager is Lou Piniella (MLB's current National League Manager of the Year), and their general manager is Jim Hendry. In December 2007, Sam Zell completed his purchase of the club's parent organization, Tribune Company, and announced his intention to sell the team.[4] On January 23, 2009, it was announced that the Cubs would be sold to Tom Ricketts for $900 million.

Susan B. Anthony

Born February 15, 1820(1820-02-15)
Adams, Massachusetts
Died March 13, 1906 (aged 86)
Rochester, New York
Occupation Suffragist, women's rights advocate

Susan Brownell Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was a prominent American civil rights leader who played a pivotal role in the 19th century women's rights movement to introduce women's suffrage into the United States. She traveled the United States and Europe, and gave 75 to 100 speeches per year on women's rights for 45 years.

On November 18, 1872, Anthony was arrested by a U.S. Deputy Marshal for alleged illegal voting in the 1872 Presidential Election two weeks earlier. She had written to Stanton on the night of the election that she had "positively voted the Republican ticket – straight...". She was tried and convicted seven months later, despite the stirring and eloquent presentation of her arguments that the recently adopted Fourteenth Amendment, which guaranteed to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" the privileges of citizenship, and which contained no sex qualification, gave women the constitutional right to vote in federal elections. The sentence was a fine, but not imprisonment; and true to her word in court, she never paid the penalty for the rest of her life. The trial gave Anthony the opportunity to spread her arguments to a wider audience than ever before.

Nancy Kerrigan, interviewed in Turin, Italy
Personal Information
Country represented:	United States
Date of birth:	October 13, 1969 (1969-10-13) (age 39)
Former coach:	Evy Scotvold, Mary Scotvold
Retired:	1994

Figure skating
Olympic medal record
Silver	1994 Lillehammer	Ladies' singles
Bronze	1992 Albertville	Ladies' singles

Nancy Kerrigan (born October 13, 1969, in Stoneham, Massachusetts) is a two time American Olympic figure skating medalist and 1993 U.S. champion.

January 6, 1994, attack

Kerrigan gained considerable fame beyond the skating world when, on January 6, 1994, she was clubbed in the knee by Shane Stant at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Detroit. Stant had been hired to assault her by Tonya Harding's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and friend Shawn Eckardt. Following the attack, her screaming of the words "Why? Why?" became well-known and were even included in ESPN's Sports Century video, which chronicle the most important sports moments of the 20th century. Though Kerrigan was not able to take part in the Olympic trials due to injury, the USOC gave her a spot on the team with encouragement from Michelle Kwan, to whom the spot would have gone.
1994 Winter Olympics and Walt Disney World controversy

A month after the attack, Kerrigan won the silver medal in the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics at the Hamar Olympic Amphitheatre, finishing second to Oksana Baiul in a controversial ruling that gave Oksana the gold medal by 0.1 points. Immediately following her program, Kerrigan's public image took a nose-dive. While Kerrigan and bronze-medalist Chen Lu waited over 20 minutes for Olympic officials to find a copy of the Ukranian anthem, someone mistakenly told her the delay was because Oksana was putting on make-up. Kerrigan then made the statement on camera that it would be a waste because Oksana would just "come out here and wreck it."
After Norwegian security had advised Kerrigan not to attend the closing ceremonies citing a lack of security for her, Kerrigan was criticized for leaving the Olympic venue to take part in a pre-arranged publicity parade at Walt Disney World, her $2 million sponsor. It was there that she was caught on microphone during the parade saying

"This is dumb. I hate it. This is the most corniest thing I have ever done."

She later said her remarks had been taken out of context: she was commenting not on being in the parade, but on having to wear her silver medal in the parade. Others have wondered if Kerrigan landed higher profile endorsements than gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi because of the publicized incident, or her better fitting an "all-American" image.

Country represented:	United States
Date of birth:	November 12, 1970 (1970-11-12) (age 38)
Place of birth:	Portland, Oregon
Residence:	Clark County, Washington
Height:	154.9 cm (5'1")
Coach:	Diane Rawlinson

Tonya Maxene Harding (born November 12, 1970) is an American figure skating champion. In 1991 she won the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and placed second in the World Championships. She was the second woman, and the first American woman, to complete a triple axel jump in competition.

She became notorious after her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly conspired with Shawn Eckhardt and Shane Stant to attack competitor Nancy Kerrigan at a practice session during the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

Tonya Harding entered the world of the nude Internet celebrity with the appearance of a pornographic "Wedding Video" that showed her having sex with her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly. Gillooly, who, not long after the scandal, began to fade from prominence and changed his name to Jeff Stone, sold the tape to a tabloid show after having been implicated as a conspirator in the Kerrigan attack. Stills from the tape were published by Penthouse in September 1994, and the tape itself was released at about the same time. Harding tried to distance herself from it.

Harding appeared on a USA Pro Wrestling show in 1994 as the manager for wrestler Art Barr.^{[citation needed]}

In late 1996, Harding used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help revive an 81-year-old woman, Alice Olson, who collapsed at a bar in Portland, Oregon while playing video poker.

Harding has contacted emergency services several times to report alleged crimes.
