Everglide S-500 Professional Headphones Review from Optempo.com:
Today we’re going to take a look at Everglide S-500 Professional Headphones. These headphones are intended primarily for gaming with the goal of being able to isolate the game in their own little world. But, how do they do for music? Are they any better than other inexpensive, full sized, headphone headsets? Let’s see what we can find out.
I'll be the first to admit that I am not crazy about exercising. I have never cared for aerobics and I loathe running. (Unless of course it's after my grandchildren.)
I do however enjoy dancing. I love to dance with my husband. I love dancing around the house with my grandchildren. I love dancing around the house by myself. Dancing is fun and after all, Girls just want to have fun, right?
Flirty Girl Fitness is all about dancing. Dancing that will improve fitness and dancing that will improve self esteem. Not necessarily dancing that you'll do at the next wedding reception you might attend but it is very fun to perform for that special someone.
Flirty Girl is the brainchild of sisters, Kerry and Krista Knee. They have two Flirty Girl facilities, in Toronto and in Chicago, where you can attend fitness classes including pole dancing. I live in California so, I did my "dancing" in the privacy of my home with the Flirty Girl Fitness Program DVD collection. It didn't come with the "pole" *wink* but it did include a pretty pink feather boa.
I honestly had a blast with my Teaser collection DVD set. I enjoyed Chair Fit the most, however Booty Beat, Just Teasing and Chair Dance are just as fun. They're not difficult to follow and give a very good workout.
The program includes the Flirty, Fit & Fabulous Meal Plan and truth be told, Flirty Girl is all anyone needs for a fun, friendly fitness program to start the New Year with.

UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008 took place this past Saturday, Dec. 27, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
(CBS) On Saturday, Dec. 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, 48 Hours presents a special holiday broadcast of "The Lord’s Boot Camp." Through a unique collaboration Loki Films, producers of the Academy Award-nominated documentary Jesus Camp, the program takes an unprecedented look at three teenagers training to become Christian missionaries while also dealing with the pressures that teens face daily. This marked the first time a camera crew had been allowed to document the teens’ experiences at camp, their missions and their returns home.
In the summer of 2007, Tabitha Taylor of Bellwood, Pa., Nicole Scrivener of Tallahassee, Fla., and Valerie Smith of Las Vegas, Nev. were among the 700 kids who gave up the luxuries of ipods and cell phones to attend The Lord’s Boot Camp. At the two-week, no-frills training camp in central Florida, the girls face physical and mental challenges as they prepare to embark on evangelical missions in the U.S. and Africa and spread the word of God.
# Taylor, 13, is passionate about her religion and a natural-born leader who excels at camp, but struggles to fit in among her peers.
# Scrivener, 15, grapples with drug and alcohol abuse, straining her relationship with her family. Her rebellious attitude creates tension at camp, too.
# Smith, 17, is dedicated to her religious beliefs but finds it difficult to be away from her boyfriend as she faces the physical challenges of camp.
Immediately following the broadcast, log on to CBSNews.com to watch a spirited student panel of teenagers of different faiths and ethnicities. These students, from Staples High School in Westport, Conn. engage in a frank discussion and share their opinions about the kids in "The Lord's Boot Camp," and question the young missionaries' training and tactics.
Barack Obama is on a tour of the two countries where we are fighting wars. Meanwhile, at home John McCain is running this ad attacking his foreign relations experience.
This a smart move by the McCain campaign, because Obama is going to get a lot of free publicity from his visits to Afghanistan and Iraq. McCain has to keep reminding swing voters that Obama isn't qualified to lead these fights.
Since his trip to Afghanistan, Obama has already called for more troops to that region.
Obama will probably come back painting a grim picture telling us how important it is to get out of Iraq soon.
This, the lastest New Yorker Magazine cover, has Barack Obama's campaign furious!
In the cartoon cover art for next Monday's release, the New Yorker shows Michelle Obama with a gun strapped to her back as she "fist bumps" with her husband who is wearing a turban as an American flag burns beneath a photos of Osama bin Laden.
Barack Obama's campaign is condemning the New Yorker magazine cover as “tasteless and offensive,” and the McCain camp says they agree.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement: “The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Sen. Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."
McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds quickly e-mailed: “We completely agree with the Obama campaign, it’s tasteless and offensive.”
(From Janimation) you know my obsession with beauty pageants, right? i love them. over the top, campy, and dramatic. i can’t get enough of it. last year at the 2007 miss universe pageant, former miss usa rachel smith fell down during the evening gown competition. she became a youtube sensation until miss teen south carolina came around and talked about maps!
not to be outdone this years miss usa, crystle stewart, created a deja vu moment at the 2008 miss universe pageant in vietnam. crystle fell down as well during the evening gown portion. the result? she was eliminated from the top five. what is going on? did miss puerto rico put vaseline on the bottom of miss usa’s heels? poor crystle. i was rooting for her!
What about you? Were you rooting for Crystle too? Is Miss USA cursed?
(From: Newser) – A testy Charles Rangel yesterday brushed off accusations that he had enjoyed special treatment in occupying four rent-controlled apartments, reports the New York Times. The veteran Democratic congressman denied he had a "sweetheart" deal with his landlord and slammed the Times article that started the controversy. The 78-year-old chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee expressed pride in being a lifelong Harlem resident, and said he pays the "maximum legal rent" for the units.
Asked he if thought it was fair for him to take up four units, three as a residence and one as an office, when there is a shortage of affordable housing in the city, Rangel said, “The question of fairness is so subjective.” At one point in the sidewalk press conference he was accosted by angry residents who accused him of ignoring their complaints about people being evicted. Asked by a Times reporter why he didn't disclose his rent discounts on his financial disclosure reports, Rangel shot back: “Paying the legal rent is not a gift. Are you doing this deliberately, or are you just stupid?”
"Teddy Dupay, who played on Florida's runner-up team in the 2000 NCAA tournament, was charged with beating and raping a woman last month at a Utah ski resort.
Dupay acknowledged in court documents that he and the woman got "a little rough" but denied committing rape. The woman said she and Dupay had a two-year relationship, but it was not clear whether they were still a couple when police were called to a Deer Valley lodge June 19.
The 29-year-old Dupay was charged last week with felony rape, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping. He is to be arraigned Monday in 3rd District Court."
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones faces a felony drug charge after cops say he was inside a car cutting up cocaine with a credit card.
Police officers evidently approached a car where Jones and others were preparing their drugs. Cops even say they had to pull their gun when Matt wouldn't show his hands.
After searching the vehicle, police found a plastic bag filled with a white substance that tested positive for cocaine and a jar with what looked like marijuana residue.
Jones was a star quarterback at Arkansas and a first-round draft pick by the Jaguars in 2005.
