Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade doesn't wear a seat belt.
At least he didn't remember to fasten it for about the first eight minutes of his car ride to his Wade's World Foundation charity event Saturday at Boomer's, a family recreation center outside Miami. "Safety first," he said as he clicked it in.
How do I know this? Because I was there in the car with him. Well, not literally, of course. Wade was live for around six hours on his Ustream account Saturday, and these are the kind of intimate details you can learn about a guy when every waking moment of his life on a weekend afternoon are live on the Internet.
Wade took questions from fans watching him live in the car. He goofed out the window, and showed us how recent rain in the Miami area left some roads a bit flooded. He talked about his mother's church. He even called one fan from Nashville, Tenn., after those following along started dropping their phone numbers, and gave advice to her 6-year-old daughter about her burgeoning basketball game.
We saw Wade bowl, shoot Pop-a-shot and play laser tag and air hockey. We took a ride on the cameraman's go-kart as he followed Wade around the track. (Wade outclassed the camera car, of course.)
Sure, this was some nice manufactured PR for Wade. He didn't take us into his nightlife world (though he did show off some dance moves on a few occasions); rather, it was a Saturday afternoon at his foundation's event. With a number of cameras from the traditional media already snapping pictures and kids within earshot of his every word, Wade was certainly on his guard. He's a pro at this stuff. He knows how to operate.
But there were also some really authentic moments. When a camera is glued to you for hours and hours and hours, it's bound to happen. As Wade exited the go-kart track, he carried his son, 7-year-old Zaire, off it. The Ustream crew who was documenting his every move grabbed him to check in on-camera and tell his fans how it went for the millionth time that day, and Wade appeared irked.
And on the car ride home after the event on his way to prepare some food with his chef at his self-proclaimed getaway home, with Zaire bouncing around in the seat next to him and another child in the back bopping around, as well, Wade and his assistant instituted a silent game for the kids. And as most 7-year-olds do, Wade's son had trouble sitting still and keeping quiet. Of course, this problem only magnifies with a camera in dad's face and Zaire posturing and cheesing for it.
So we saw Dwyane Wade -- NBA champion, NBA All-Star, Olympic gold medal winner, T-Mobile and Jordan pitchman -- play the role of father. Sure, he goofed around a bit with Zaire during his silent time, trying to bait him into losing the game. But he was also visibly tired as he put his hands to his face, shut his eyes quick and peered down at his BlackBerry. It was a long day, and after being active with countless kids and his own son for hours on end, he just wanted a little peace and quiet, and when he wasn't getting it, he become a bit frustrated, annoyed even. All parents get like this in moments like these, no matter how much they love their children. Hard not to. No camera in your face is going to change that.
It was a real moment of vulnerability. A sign that yes, Wade lives his life on a higher plane than most of us, but that doesn't mean he doesn't also experience the same highs and lows of adulthood, of parenthood.
"I try to be as private as I can, you know, I try to give y'all a little bit of me without giving y'all too much -- got to keep some minds still wondering," Wade said during that drive back to his place.
And during this Saturday in December, he did just that.

What do you think of his style? Is he sexy?
Most Helpful Girl
Except for those white pants and shoes, everything else is good. I'm old school. Many people don't realize the clothes that designers are creating now are from the 1920's and 30's. I bought a pair of Mary Jane pumps and they are similar to my grandmothers shoes that I saw her wearing in her wedding photo . He's not a bad looking man, don't find him sexy, but that's my opinion.00|00|0

When it comes to locking up, consumers and professionals alike look to Lockwood.
An iconic Australian brand for over 50 years, Lockwood is the recognised market leader in mortice locks for residential and commercial use. Which is great for sales – but poses big challenges when you're planning the first major product upgrade in over 20 years.
In early 2016, Lockwood parent company AssaAbloy engaged Icon Agency to help it plan and execute the Australian launch of the Selector 3700 Mortice Lock. After years in development, the 'Selector' was ready to replace Lockwood's tried and trusty mortice lock. Convincing trade, locksmiths and consumers about the benefits of the new Selector 3700 was crucial to ensuring a successful launch and protecting Lockwood's dominant market position.
Versatile and simple campaign
Icon's creative team dug deep into the Lockwood brand DNA. They sat with the Selector 3700 designers and spent time in the Australian manufacturing plant. The result was an inspired campaign tagline – A Brilliant Way to Lock Up – that tapped into the new lock's unique benefits and sophisticated technology.
Recognising the expert nature of the B2B target audience, Icon created a campaign 'videomercial' that celebrated the Selector 3700's journey from concept through to completion through the eyes of a customer. The video was designed for versatility, from in-store demos to web, social media and broadcast applications.
The campaign, which launched in April, was rolled out nationally and included print and online advertising, website, point of sale and various collateral.

Lucknow, April 5: Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee today chose his home constituency and the capital of Uttar Pradesh to lash out at the false propaganda that he was a police informer during the Quit India Movement in 1942.
I did not give evidence against anyone. I did not inform against anyone. I was not an informer for the British, an obviously pained Vajpayee thundered.
There has been false propaganda against me that in 1942, I sided with the British, that I was arrested and then let off, so there must have been some connivance, Vajpayee said.
The Prime Minister claimed that he had never done anything that he should be ashamed of. I was a young high school student and I also joined the 1942 movement. Since the British had started arresting the activists of the (Quit India) movement, I was packed off to my village. There, too, the movement was going on and I joined it. I was arrested and was released for lack of evidence.
Maine kisi ki mukhbari nahin ki, kisi ki chugli nahin ki (I did not inform on anyone. I did not complain against anyone), Vajpayee said.
Arguing against cheap political potshots at ones political opponents, the Prime Minister said: There is a limit to character assassination just as there should be a limit to what people are willing to do to win an election. We should not cross the limits of decency and if someone from our side also does it, then that, too, is wrong.
Vajpayee criticised such extreme campaign strategies suggesting that the introduction of permanent bitterness in a political debate was uncalled for. Elections last only for a couple of days but life is long, he reminded his fellow politicians.
Vajpayee also took a swipe at those who suggested there were differences between him and his deputy L.K. Advani. Let me make it very clear that I would not have been Prime Minister without his help. I was chosen Prime Minister unanimously.
He recounted how a few minutes earlier, while welcoming the Bharat Uday yatra at Lucknows Ambedkar ground, he had hugged Advani. Some photographers missed the shot, so they asked me to hug him again. I asked them what would happen if some others missed that also' What would I have to do then'
Vajpayee was full of self-praise when it came to the performance of his government. He recalled how Congress chief Sonia Gandhi had referred to his promise of an 8 per cent growth as Mungeri Lal ke sunahare sapne (the delusions of Mungeri Lal a TV character known for daydreaming). I had replied that it is true that we dream but we also know how to convert our dreams into reality. Now that we have reached 10.4 per cent growth in the last quarter, what does the Congress have to say' he asked.
While Vajpayee argued for decency, minutes before his arrival, BJP leaders of Uttar Pradesh were trying to keep the crowd entertained with personal attacks on Opposition leaders.
Making fun of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadavs socialism, a BJP Yuva Morcha leader told the crowd: Kaju hai plate mein, whiskey gilas mein. Utara hai samajwad ab Safai nivas mein (The plate is full of cashew nuts and the glass full of whisky. This is the way socialism has come down to Mulayam Singhs village, Safai).
Another leader compared Vajpayees marital status and that of Sonias saying: One gave up getting married because of the country, the other gave up her country for marriage.
Another claimed that unlike Annie Besant, who came to the Congress for the love of India, Sonia came to India for the love of the Indian Prime Ministers son.
Yet another referred to Amar Singh, the Samajwadi Party general secretary, as Amar Singh Yadav, who wanted to make Mulayam Singh Yadav the Prime Minister. He compared the possibility to that of all animals in a jungle choosing the owl as their king. Further comparing Mulayam Singh to an owl he said: You can see that Mulayam Singhjis neck is also non-existent.

Later this week, Directioners will get the chance to flock to theaters to check out One Direction in 3-D when their Morgan Spurlock-directed flick, "One Direction: This Is Us," hits theaters Friday.
In the film, fans get to go behind the scenes with the beloved boy band as they travel across the world on their Take Me Home Tour, as well as head home to see their families in between gigs and engagements. The documentary focuses a lot on their rise to fame, from their early beginnings on the "X Factor" in the U.K. to their current status as pop superstars. At one point, the guys even wonder what would have happened to the group if one of them hadn't auditioned for "X Factor."
So, if Zayn Malik hadn't shown up to his audition back in 2010, could the more outgoing Niall Horan step in as 1D's go-to mystery guy? That question is pondered in the flick, and the fellas opened up about that possibility to MTV News, just ahead of 1D's appearance at tonight's 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. "I think Niall could pull it off," Liam Payne told us Saturday. "Actually, I think he's got that air about him. He could switch it on when he wants to."
With Liam giving Niall his two thumbs up, does Zayn think they could ever pull a switcheroo? "Definitely," he said. "He's got my approval."
Before the movie hits theaters Friday, One Direction will appear at the VMAs, where they're up for Best Song of the Summer for their single "Best Song Ever." They are currently ahead in the competition, with Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" trailing behind. The show goes live from Brooklyn's Barclays Center tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Enough evidence is left to suggest foul play. Detective David "Kubu" Bengu of the Botswana Criminal Investigation Department is assigned to the case.The detective's personality and physique match his moniker. The nickname "Kubu" is Setswana for "hippopotamus" - a seemingly docile creature, but one of the deadliest on the continent. Beneath Kubu's pleasant surface lies the same unwavering resolve that makes the hippopotamus so deceptively dangerous. Both will trample everything in their path to reach an objective.From the sun-baked riverbeds of the Kalahari to the highest offices of an international conglomerate, Kubu follows a blood-soaked trail in search of answers. Beneath a mountain of lies and superstitions, he uncovers a chain of crimes leading to the most powerful figures in the country - influential enemies who will kill anyone in their way.A memorable detective makes his debut in this gritty, mesmerizing thriller. Set amid the beauty and darkness of contemporary Africa, A Carrion Death is the first entry in an evocative new series cutting to the heart of today's Botswana - a modern democracy threatened by unstable neighbors, poachers, and diamond smugglers. Those trying to expose the corrupt ringleaders will find themselves fighting for their lives.More
"Intricate plotting, a grisly sense of realism, and numerous topical motifs...make this a compulsively readable novel." (Publishers Weekly)
"A first novel saturated with local color....[Audiences] may be lured to Africa by the landscape, but it takes a great character like Kubu to win our loyalty." (The New York Times Book Review)

Go Congress co-director, Gordon Castanza, has compiled a list of 60 diverse activities that are "sure to fascinate those who want to see the attractions of the Seattle-Tacoma-Olympia area," says Castanza. "From aquariums to arboretums to beaches, parks and zoos, the Pacific Northwest has something for even the most fastidious visitor. Find the trolls of Fremont, the wonders of the Chihuly glass sculptures, the gastronomical delights of 5 species of oysters from the bays of Puget Sound, and the dizzying vistas of the Space Needle. So get a group together and eat your box lunch while reveling in the panoramic views of the Olympic Mountains to the west or one of the many volcanoes (Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. Baker) of the Cascade Range to the east. You will find the 'Non-Players' Activities' list on the Congress web page here. The activities are self-propelled and self- guided." Day off tours for players are also posted on the site, and players can of course engage in the the non-player activities as well. Local residents will be available to help people make plans. Photo by Gordon Castanza: "The architecture, and the layout of the Seattle Chinese Garden is the same as in Seattle's Sister City, Chongqing, China. These rocks not only come from, but also imitate the mountains around Chongqing, which is in Sichuan Province.

The Power Report: Honinbo, Kisei Updates; Ryo Breaks Yuta's Record; New Chinese Tourney
Monday May 20, 2013
by John Power, Japan Correspondent for the American Go E-Journal
Iyama makes good start in Honinbo defense: The first game of the 68th Honinbo title match was played in Ota City in Shimane Prefecture on May 16 and 17. Taking white, Iyama Honinbo defeated Takao Shinji 9P by 4.5 points. The game was closely fought, but Iyama drew ahead with a severe attack launched a little over 100 moves into the game. Winning with white is a good way to start off a best-of-seven. The second game will be played on May 28 and 29. Photo: Iyama Yuta, current Honinbo, courtesy Nihon Ki-in
38th Kisei Leagues: Two more games were played in the new Kisei leagues on May 16. In the second game in the A League, Cho U 9P (B) defeated Kiyonari Tetsuya 9P (Kansai Ki-in) by 15.5 points. In the first game in the B League, Murakawa Daisuke 7P (Kansai Ki-in) (W) beat Mizokami Tomochika 8P by resignation.
Youngest title-winner: Iyama Yuta's record for youngest title-winner has been broken, though in an unofficial tournament. In the final of the 4th Okage Cup, held in Ise City on May 16, the fifteen-year old Ichiriki Ryo 3P defeated Anzai Nobuaki 6P, who had won the previous two cups. Iyama Yuta won the Agon Kiriyama Cup at the age of 16, so Ichiriki has lowered his record by a year, though Iyama retains the record for an official title. The tournament is sponsored by a manufacturer of traditional sweets, and is open to members of the Nihon Ki-in aged 30 and under. The format is NHK-style (30 seconds per move plus ten minutes of thinking time taken in one-minute units). The best 16 competed in a final knockout tournament, held on May 15 and 16. Born in Miyagi Prefecture on June 10, 1997, Ichiriki is a disciple of So Kofuku 9P. He became a professional in 2011. He is also enrolled in first year of high school. It will be interesting to see if he can follow further in the footsteps of Iyama. Photo: Ichiriki Ryo, courtesy Nihon Ki-in
New Chinese international tournament: Launching international tournaments seems to be the latest fashion in China, reflecting both the increasing prosperity of Chinese corporations and the high status of go as an intellectual sport. The increasing success of Chinese players in the international arena is undoubtedly another factor. The latest new arrival is the Mlily Cup World Open Tournament, sponsored by Mlily Healthcare. It starts out with an international qualifying tournament being held from May 21 to 24 that will decide 50 out of the 64 places in the first round of the main tournament. Of the 50, four places are reserved for women players and four for amateurs. The disposition of the 14 seeded places is five to China, three each to Japan and Korea, one to Chinese Taipei, and two special seeds selected by the organizers. First prize is 1,800,000 yuan (about $285,000). The first two rounds will be played in July, and the next two in August. The dates of the final and semifinals have not yet been decided.

Chess Grandmaster Recommends Go to Chess Players
Sunday May 19, 2013
Many chess players who discover go seem to leave chess behind, but notable Swedish grandmaster Tiger Hillarp Person , the author of "Tiger's Modern," finds go to be a nice complement to his enjoyment of chess. Persson recently started blogging at "Chess at the Bag of Cats," where he has set up a go section. He writes: "I started out with Go in the beginning of 2011 and, after a rapid rise to about 9kyu, I've been gaining around 4kyu a year since then. I can really recommend chess players to do this for a number of reasons. First, if you are too tactically inclined a player, then by playing Go you will be forced to think about things like 'structure' and 'plans'. Secondly, if you work as a coach, reliving the struggle of being a beginner at a difficult game (like Chess – or Go) will definitely improve your understanding of those you are coaching. Thirdly, there are few things that let you appreciate the 'nature' of what you have learned as a chess player. Learning Go will make it obvious that you know stuff that transcends the chess board." -Roy Laird, with thanks to Michael Bacon for sending the link.
Janice Kim Workshop June 28
Sunday May 19, 2013
Go is returning to Hollyhock Center, in British Columbia, after more than a decade. Janice Kim 3P will lead a workshop at the popular learning center June 28 through July 3. The Hollyhock website says "Hollyhock was founded in 1983, and is Canada's leading centre for lifelong learning, but you can also think of us as a 'refuge for your soul', a place that allows you access to what matters, or simply time to rest, play and achieve wellness." Kim promises to "Increase your go skill through interactive lectures, small and large group exercises, game practice and analysis," as well as help players "Develop critical thinking skills and improve their confidence while exploring effective and positive real world decision-making." An award-winning author and professional 3-dan, Kim brings decades of experience to her acclaimed workshops; in 1984 she won the World Youth Go Championship, took second place in the 1985 Fuji Women's Korean Go Champion and in 2008 she placed 4th in the World Poker Tour Bellagio Five Diamond Classic. She's also been a contributor to the American Go E-Journal, most recently contributing commentary at the 2012 Sport Accord World Mind Sports Games in Beijing.

<Super Smash Bros. Brutal Duel
Nintendog & Trainer Bark the Battle! This French Bulldog has been trained to fight! First the Doggie Fighter Awards, and now Super Smash Bros! This bulldog won't fight alone. It's trainer will help it with it's Smash Attacks and Specials! They are NOT a duo. The trainer is in the sidelines like the Pokemon Trainer from Brawl.
B: Bowl: The trainer will place down a bowl and the dog will eat the food. If the dog eats all of the food without being attacked, it will become slightly faster and stronger. This attack can't be spammed.
Side B: Flying Disc: The Trainer will throw a Flying Disc and the Nintendog will chase after it. If the disc hits players, they will take little damage, but they can also take damage from being bit by the dog when he jumps up and catches the frisbie. If the move is used mid-air, the dog won't chase the disc, and it won't follow it past an edge.
Up B: Balloon: A balloon will appear and the dog will hold onto it with his teeth until he slips or the balloon pops.
Down B: Trick: The trainer will give the Nintendog a treat if they rollover. If they roll over, it will do little damage to an opponent. If the dog succeeds, he will get a treat that will heal 1%. If he doesn't rollover, he will not get a treat, but will jump up to try and get it, dealing damage to anyone in the way. If the trainer tells him to play dead , he will play dead, acting as a counter. If he doesn't play dead, he won't get a treat and will constantly bark, making shockwaves!
Final Smash: Screen Time: The Nintendog will go up to the screen and scratch at it like his old assist trophy. The trainer will start attacking players with very powerful attacks and they usually can't be dodged because the Nintendog is in the way.
Pallette Swaps
Different dog breeds
Up Taunt- The trainer will pet the Nintendog
Side Taunt- The trainer will put a leash around the dog, but the dog will gnaw at it and cut it loose
Down Taunt- The Nintendog will roll over.

Well, last Sunday's 'plan, plan, plan' post outlined my exercise schedule for the week.
Or should I say, the exercise schedule I would have followed had I not been blind-sided by the flu. And I even had my flu shot this year. Sheesh.
While I made it to my Monday morning step class, I could tell that I was coming down with something. I just didn't feel like my usually sparkly self. I decided to pass on the evening yoga class and stayed home resting and popping Cold-FX the whole next day.
By Tuesday evening the fever and chills had arrived and my exercise plans (along with those of my clients, so sorry guys) were put on the back burner. The rest of the week was spent in bed (catching up on blog reading) and on the couch (watching season 3 of True Blood; I swoon over Eric), feeling guilty that my hubby had to do all the cooking and cleaning and kid-wrangling (okay, maybe not that guilty).
Not my best look, eh?
I know better than to go to work or exercise when I'm ill; it just prolongs recovery and puts my clients and class participants at risk of getting whatever I've got. Besides, just walking from the bed to the bathroom made me dizzy. Forget about squatting and lunging.
I really want a do-over week, but know that after I've been sick, I need to ease back into exercise gradually. I've lost 5 pounds (not the good kind) and am feeling incredibly weak. I'm thinking that just getting through the
5 3 1 class es I have to teach is going to be challenge enough for this week. (When I started writing this post, I was overly optimistic about how quickly my energy would return…)
My recovery week plan? Get back to eating regularly and taking my GNC daily multivitamins. Drink lots of water. Take it easy in the gym.
- Sunday; subbed out my Cardio Combo class (thanks Christina!)
- Monday; subbed out my Total Body Conditioning and Spin classes (thanks Donna!)
- Tuesday; Light cardio day; steady state ARC Trainer
- Wednesday; Teach Bootcamp (possibly more 'coaching' than 'doing')
- Thursday; Possible whole body weights workout, depending on my energy level
- Friday; Rest day
- Saturday; Hatha yoga and Teach Younique 'Fitness for Fat Loss' workshop
Do you work out when you're not feeling well?

I started to think through the 'logic' of the storylines in both the OT & FST. Just think about:
- what happened 'prior' to the Oceanic 815 in the FST?
- what happened after Ajira 316 in the OT?
On neither of these have we been given any flashforwards/flashbacks, and as far as the storyline is concerned, references to them are sketchy or nonexistent, and they are made to seem, to sonme extent, unimportant. However, they are of great importance. In the pre 2004 FST, what were the reasons the losties were separately in Australia, which caused them to be all "coincidentally" on the equivalent flight to the crashed O815? For example, did Locke have the same experience? Did Sawyer still kill the same man? Did Sawyer still meet Christian in the bar? Was Anna Lucia there with Christian? What was Hurley doing? He definitely wasn't doing what he did before. The fact that they ALL ended up on the same flight is clearly of great significance to the storyline, but we have no idea how this happened or why. I know it made a great S6 'shock opening', but it has to be more than that.
As far as the post A316 OT storyline goes, no-one seems to have considered what the effect would be of the SAME O6 crashing in the same circumstances in the same location. Hurley's mum and dad knew the O6 were lying, and surely it would not have been long before some enterprising investigative journalist pieced together their movements, realised that two mothers had left their children, the O6 had gone to the Dharma Lamp station, put together some conspiracy theory with Dharma, Hanso etc., found Desmond and tied it all back to Widmore, and found people who were involved in the fake 815 crash wreckage. What I'm getting at is there is a bloody good story to tell there, but we have seen none of it. Why? This is especially so now that Widmore has reappeared in his sub.
The overall storyline covers: OT (say) 1860s to 2007, and FST 2004. Despite the fact we have flashbacks/flashforwards/flashsideways, nothing outside this seems important to the story being told. Does anyone else find that somewhat peculiar? Any explanations?

Get on board with those who have already donated and are helping us reach our target! But there is still a way to go!
Read more or donate (even $5) to SGA's Australia-first project to help all Australians make safer choices for people and nature when they buy garden chemical products
SGA wants to turn its independent database of 1000+ chemical garden products into an App which shows their safety for all Australians and their environment including beneficial insects, birds, aquatic life, pets and other non-target organisms. The database has been developed by volunteer chemists, biochemists and toxicologists. NO FUNDS HAVE BEEN ASKED FOR OR ACCEPTED FROM PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS!
The world is awash with over 80,000 chemicals that humans manufactured!
In Australia many of the sprays and other products to control garden pests, weeds and diseases are potentially harmful – some e.g. glyphosate the popular weed-killer, have been linked with diseases including cancer.
Chemical pollution is believed to play a significant role in the increase of species extinction rates. Pyrethrum, a popular insecticide, harms many beneficial insects and widely sold neonicotinoid insecticides are believed to be responsible for declining honey bee populations.
Even many fertilisers are harmful through pollution of waterways and failure to improve soil structure.
The average gardener does not know how safe or risky these garden products are!
Limited information on product labels is hard to interpret and doesn't allow easy comparison with other products and we don't know how many chemicals have been rigorously tested and received detailed assessment. Even worse, we know little about effects of accumulation of small amounts of a large number of chemicals.
At SGA we are going to make that information readily available so everyone can see which products are safe and which are risky.

Billy's Dad: And that's when Billy met Mandy..
(Baby Billy rings Mandy's doorbell and Baby Mandy anwsers, bottle in hand)
Billy's Dad: Now Mandy knew a genius when she saw one...
Mandy: Are you some kind of idiot?
(Billy takes the bottle, puts it in his mouth, then flushes it down by tugging on his nose like a toilet)
Mandy: I'll take that as a yes.
Billy's Dad: His powers of observation astounded her from the start...
(Billy puts his hand on her face and feels around, where her nose should be, and Mandy growls angrily)
Billy: Hey, you ain't got no nose-y!
(Mandy crosses her arms)
Mandy: So?
(Billy pulls an ice cream out of his diaper, it has a nickle and some other objects in it, tilts Mandy's head up and smacks the ice cream in her face)
Billy: There, that's better.
Billy's Dad: It was that moment on that would set the rest of their friendship.
(Mandy growls angrily, punches him in the face and turns around)
Mandy: Creep.
(She shuts the door, leaving Billy by himself, he laughs and raises an eyebrow)
Billy: She digs me.
Billy: (with out his nose) Hey! Get your forshizzil out of my nizzil, dog.
Grim: We've got to follow your nose, mon!
Billy: Aye aye, Cap'n!
Billy: A shimmy one, a shimmy two, a shim for me, a shim for you!
Mandy: Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
Grim: Oh, I do! I do!
Mandy: Got your nose.
Billy: Half for you, and half for me!
Nasalmancer: Oh, that's my favorite nostril! Thank you, Billy!!
Billy: Snot a problem!
Nasalmancer: Oh! You blew my nose...up!
Billy: You blew my nose...up!
(Billy farts)
Billy's Dad: That boy's a genius!
Billy's Mom: Don't be silly Harold, that's just gas!
Billy's Dad: Gladys, I know a genius when I see one!
Mandy: Oh, good grief.
When Billy's Dad shows Billy's diploma before he told the story, it looked different than the second time he showed the diploma.
We find out what Irwin's dad name actually is "Dick".
Toddler Mandy's hairstyle looks like Judy Jetson's from The Jetsons.
Running Gags:
1) Nose jokes.
2) Grim mentions about how nose-picking is a filthy habit.
3) Billy gets smacked by a steak.
Credits: Baby Billy travels through the highway while farting. He stops and the car halts at the traffic lights. Billy commences intense ground vibrations, and the car broke. Some in the car said, "That was genius!"
We get to see Billy and Mandy as toddlers.
Grim and Mandy find out why Billy is so dumb in this episode.
Grim: We've got to follow your nose, mon!
Billy: Aye aye, Cap'n!
This is a reference to two breakfast cereals, Fruit Loops and Cap'n Crunch.
Mandy: Oh, good grief.
It's the most famous punchline Charlie Brown and the Peanuts characters use, which expresses frustration.

Whatever your budget is, you can give your pastor a retirement gift that will demonstrate how much you appreciate his guidance in your life. His retirement is a special occasion for him and his religious community. Giving your minister a retirement gift is an appropriate and thoughtful gesture for his years of service.
Sports Gifts
If your pastor has a specific sports interest help him enjoy it even more during his retirement. A gift certificate for a few rounds of golf, tickets to a football game or a football jersey from his favorite team are appropriate and fun gifts. Tennis lessons, basketball tickets or lessons for just about any sports interest can help him to enjoy his leisure time after retirement.
A scrapbook is a great way to commemorate your pastor's involvement with the church and can incorporate the pastor's family and the church community. Gather up images from the church and use religious motif scrapbook paper and embellishments to make a one-of-a-kind keepsake she will treasure.
Plant a Tree
The Jewish National Fund offers the opportunity to support the Holy Land with a donation to plant a tree in Israel. Through their online site you can make a donation and get a certificate in your pastor's name that represents the trees that will be planted with your donation.
Find out what genre books your pastor enjoys and get him all set up for hours of comfortable reading during his retirement. If he plans on doing some traveling domestically or abroad gift him a book from the "1000 Places to See Before You Die" series by Patricia Schultz. If he loves fiction titles get him some with religious themes. Get together with other church members and load some selections onto an electronic reader like the Amazon Kindle, which comes with adjustable font sizes.
Movies are another idea to help provide entertainment for the pastor after retirement. Whether she likes comedies or scary movies you can put together a gift basket of movies. A family oriented classic like "The Bells of Saint Mary's" is a good choice. Add some movie popcorn and candy to the basket and the gift is complete.

Vidic hails Ferdinand return
Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is pleased to have Rio Ferdinand back alongside him in defence.
By Adrian Del Monte
Last Updated: 15/10/10 3:54pm
Manchester United's Nemanja Vidic is pleased to have Rio Ferdinand back alongside him at the heart of defence, and has likened his return to that of a new signing.
Since reuniting, the pair have helped United keep two clean sheets against Valencia and Sunderland, and Vidic is very positive about their immediate future together.
"Rio played against Valencia and Sunderland and looked fit and I watched England's game against Montenegro, when he also looked very sharp," Vidic said.
"I am glad he is fit and I hope he doesn't have any more injuries because over the last couple of years they have caused him so many problems.
"Hopefully this year he will be ready. If he is, it will be like a big signing for us."
Despite recent problems with his Serbian national team, Vidic remains solely focused on the visit of West Brom, and the commencement of a busy period that will see United play nine matches in just 29 days.
"I wouldn't say we are under more pressure because of our previous results. At Manchester United we are under pressure anyway," he added.
"We have to win, it doesn't matter whether we play home or away. This is the mentality we must have because that is the ambition of the club.
"You have to reach that high and you have to remain consistent, it doesn't matter if you are home or away."
"This is the time of year when we traditionally start doing better. I hope this season will be the same."

Linda Ikeji is not a blogger by T.I.A
This is not an attention-seeking piece, and if you don't believe, the choice is yours but have had to point this out a long time.
I checked, and still it did not fit.
@Linda Ikeji! You all know her , don't you?
In case you don't know she is nigeria's no 1 blogger and a successful one at that.
So you see the more reason , some will regard this post as attention-seeking.
That's by the way.
Back to the issue.
First, what is blogging?
Blogging is practically a platform which serves as an extension of your personal self especially if you have got the writing flare.
Blogging is meant to showcase happening in your personal life , if it's niche is lifestyle. Also it may showcase articles on different issues depending on the niche you pick. Even at that, there should be a feeling of informality surrounding it. However, blogging has for a long time turned from just a showcase of our personal lives and lifestyle to a full-time news reporting platform.
Even this platform am writing on is exactly following this trend, and I don't blame them, they can't help but follow the same trend.
So accepted, blogging nowadays means news reporting, rumour spreading etc.
You get it all on the blogs.
There are over 6,000,000 blogs in the world today, so the competition is really very tough but Nigeria's Linda ikeji's has managed for the past 8 years to overcome that competition by staying at the top of the table in Africa at least.
Why then is she is not a blogger?
Given my experience with bloggers, I manage to know there are some things involved in this dynamic world of blogging.
For your blog to be considered as a standard blog and a quality one.
Social media experts state the following. 1, SEO 2, Content.
These are two key words, I know social media expert harp on all the time and Nigeria's finest has none of this and yet she is ranked in the top 1,000 blogs in the world( although not exactly 1,000, a few numbers after 1,000 though)
SEO involves a lot of things, from the colour, theme and structure of your site.
Linda Ikeji is reported to have been blogging since 2007 and yet for the past 9 years, the interface of this Africa's No 1 blogger is yet to change!
If SEO is anything to go by, Linda Ikeji is not a standard blog, it's does not even have a menu.
You might say, people like simplicity but that does not apply to SEO.
Secondly, the content!!! Linda Ikeji, I must give her that is the mother of copy cats( mind you this platform copies too) but an incident in 2010 which involved copyright issues with a certain Ay dee who is now a popular sensation on nigerian twitter due to the rift, made linda begin the idea of giving her copied post credit.
There is no way a blogger will do without copying, that is a fact but at least once in a while, Miss Linda, write something which is original.
By dwelling on issues prevalent in your immediate society, originality tends to surface in your write-up because you are writing based on something you are conversant with.
You don't have to attack or criticise, just write and contribute your opinion as part of the elite.
Like the Chibok girls, you as a woman should have given your opinion.
You guys might say, it's an entertainment blog.
True but there comes a time when you reach the level which this lady has gotten to and what you need do is impact on your society through the platform that feeds you.
Although she has these empowering schemes that she runs which I must give her kudos.
She spends a lot on them.
The last one I heard about one of her schemes is that she gave about 10m to each of the women.
That's good but that does not subtitute the fact of being part of the discourse.
If you are afraid of taking sides, there are various topics that won't even affect your sponsors in any way.
So if going by the books, and experts advise on how to be successful through blogging is anything to go by.
Linda ikeji is not a blogger, she does not plan her post, am not sure she knows what engagements or impression means or all that technical hulla-baloo.
Neither does she even know her Alexa ranking because she is not even bothered because her traffic has not dwindled and these technicalities by many social media experts have done nothing to her blog by not following them.
Linda is not a blogger, but a woman who runs a simple platform without hassle or strive for competition.
She is blogging like there is no competition and that I think works for her.
Please do something about writing about issues, stop posting only pics and captioning it ( that's what i would call the blog post) under your metro stories and intended society-impact stories.
Linda you are the change, you have a cult( a following) many of us can do without checking the blog everyday. Use that power!!
Her simplicity in blogging is infectious but she is not a blogger.
