The Cox-Arquette Split

0 comments
After 11 years of marriage, David Arquette and Courtney Cox announced on Monday that they are on a "trial separation."

The next day, an emotional Arquette called into Howard Stern's radio show, where he revealed intimate details of the couple's problems. He told Stern, "She doesn't want to tell me, 'Don't do that, don't do this'...She doesn't want to nag me anymore..."

Stern offered, "Because sometimes she thinks of you as like a little boy."

Arquette replied, "Yeah…She gave me the motorcycle and she said 'I don't want to be your mother anymore.' I got it…"

Arquette apologized yesterday, tweeting, "I went on Howard Stern…to provide clarity and honesty about what I'm experiencing but while doing that I shared too much... for that I am sorry and humbled."

Is this "mothering" problem confined to celebrity marriages, or could it affect any marriage?

Psychologist and relationship expert Cooper Lawrence discussed the mothering problem and offered solutions you can try in your own relationships.

My Dell

I am very glad to say that I have purchased a Dell Studio 15 Laptop Computer. Dell Studio 15 is a nice looking laptop and it’s the merged laptop from Dell Inspiron and XPS.

Dell Inspiron is the next lower end model and Dell XPS is the next higher end model. So it’s having the good features which are integrated from Inspiron and XPS. Dell Studio is available in 15’4 inch and in 17 inch monitor diagonally.

My Dell Studio 15 is shipped with Windows Vista Home Premium. But I have installed Windows XP SP3. Dell’s audio quality is simply super, because it is integrated with High Definition Audio using Creative noise isolation ear buds and a specially designed software.

The best thing in this Dell Studio which impressed me a lot is its battery backup, up to 4 to 5 hours while working with WiFi or while watching a movie from its Drive.

President Sebastian Pinera of Chile has met the 33 rescued miners at the hospital where they are recovering and announced a review of mine safety.

Speaking outside Copiapo Hospital, he promised that never again in Chile would people be allowed to work in such inhumane conditions.

The president described the rescue of the men after more than two months trapped underground as "a miracle".

At least two of the men are due to be discharged from hospital on Thursday.

Of the rest, several are receiving treatment for dental and eye problems, and two have the lung disease silicosis.

The rescue concluded earlier when Luis Urzua was brought to the surface.

Mr Urzua emerged to jubilant scenes at 2155 local time on Wednesday (0055 GMT on Thursday), ending a rescue operation of more than 22 hours.

Best Gas Station Cigar?

0 comments
A friend of mine asked me, what's the best cigar that he can get from a gas station? Well, I'm not really familiar with gas station cigars but I think it's better if he buys them online rather in a gas station, if there are no cigar stores near his area.

Honestly, I think you are not going to get any "good" cigars at a gas station. And that's why I'd recommend going to a smoke shop and just buying a good cheap single there. There are $2-5 cigars that are much better than the swishers and Games you are going to get at a gas station.

And lastly, if the cigar is not in a humidor its not worth smoking in my opinion.

A Unique Christmas Gift

I have a nephew who is a big basketball fan. He's very loyal to the sport and because of that, I think I've found the perfect Christmas gift for him this year.

I'm going to give him personalized basketballs that will have the photo of his favorite NBA team on it. I know he'll love it because he actually just likes anything that has to do with basketball.

Aside from that, I think I'm going to give him an NBA Monopoly game. That way, I can get his attention and get him to spend some time with me while still enjoying his sport as well.

That's two unique gifts that anyone can give to a basketball fan this Christmas.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc will start selling Apple's iPad tablet computer this Friday. Making it possible that one of the black friday deals 2010 of walmart might be the Apple iPad

Wal-Mart said the iPad will be available in hundreds of its stores in the United States to start, expanding to more than 2,300 outlets by mid-November.

Wal-Mart rivals Best Buy and Target are already selling the iPad, which Apple launched in April.

Demand for the 10-inch touchscreen tablet has so far been robust, and Apple initially had a difficult time producing enough.

The company sold more than 3 million iPads in the June quarter, and Wall Street expects the company to surpass that mark with ease in the September quarter.

Apple is set to report quarterly results next Monday.

Wal-Mart will sell the iPad for the same price as other retailers, starting at $499 for the more inexpensive model. The world's largest retailer already sells Apple's iPod and iPhone.

Shares of Cupertino, California-based Apple were up $1.75 at $297.11 in midday trading on the Nasdaq.

Crafting Lately

Just finished some wedding invites that I have been working on - which also serves as my practice for making holiday invitations soon.

This first one I did was a cream colored card posted on a dark grey background card. The black and light grey vertical horizontal stripes could be printed, but I originally created them to represent 1/4" and 1/2" layered ribbon.

Next, the second design is just a simple and elegant design. Any elements of this card can be changed including the background color.

Making Popcorn

0 comments
I saw some popcorn machines at the mall today and I've decided to buy one. Yay! And so now, I'm going to teach you how to make popcorn in a popcorn machine.

If you have a popcorn machine at home or is planning to buy one soon. Then here's a simple step by step guide.

1. Fill the hopper of the machine with popcorn. On most machines the hopper is easy to locate, but if you have problems refer to the machine's manual.

2. Determine where the hot popcorn comes out of the machine and place a large bowl beneath this opening. For machines that are self contained this step is not necessary.

3. Plug the machine into an electrical outlet and turn the switch on. If the machine requires the popcorn to be manually released from the hopper, do this when the green light on the front of the popper comes on. This is generally done with a simple push of a button.

4. Allow the popcorn to fully pop before turning the machine off. You can determine when it is done when you don't hear any kernels pop for 10 seconds or longer.

5. Unplug or turn off the machine when you are finished. This keeps the elements of the popper from overheating and possibly burning out.
