What Does "Obama" mean is Japenese - Find Out Here

Here's a fast Barack Obama fact:

I noticed that one of today's hottest Internet search trends is by those who are looking for what Obama's name means in Japanese. So if you're wondering what President Obama's name means in Japanese it's "little beach." Kind of cute if you ask me. In case you're wondering the name Obama is not a Japanese last name but a Kenyan one.

Swine Flu Information, Maps, Protection Kits, and More - Canada and U.S.

People around the world are beginning to panic over the spread of the "swine flu." Today health organizations are referring to the "swine flu" by it's proper name H1N1 Flu after thousands of pigs have been slaughtered in Egypt.

Whether or not you feel you're at risk it can't hurt to check out the 2009 H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) Outbreak Map to see if you should take precautions in your area. Here's another excellent interactive Swine Flu tracking map by Yahoo.

If the H1N1 Flu(Swine Flu)is your area you may want to stock up on a Family Swine Flu Infection Protection Kit ($39.95) or an On-The-Go Swine Flu Personal Infection Protection Kit ($19.95)

At the very least everyone should have a good Hand Sanitizer Gel that they can use after going out to public places like the movies, restaurants, or shopping malls. School classrooms should also have these available to students.

When you hear news article titles like "Swine Flu Alert Nears Pandemic Levels" it sounds like we're facing impending doom. But if you research what a "pandemic" actually is you'll find out that it's not the end of the world. Especially with the advances in today's science, medicine, and technology.

I was nine months pregnant durig the SARS outbreak and it wasn't until I was entering the hospital (in heavy labor) did I find out that there were SARS patients under quarantine in the same hospital. They had a tent set up in the lobby where they stopped to check everyone and give you a surgical mask.

I wore the mask until I was ready to give birth then they told me it was alright to take it off. After my daughter was born she did not wear a mask either although they made my husband wear one the entire time. (None of it made sense).

Some hospital visitors wore masks others did not, it was a scary time. I pity anyone who has to stay in the hospital during this latest pandemic they will likely be restricting visitors. SARS did not spread like they thought it would and I'm hoping that the swine flu won't either.

Here is a list of "swine flu" related links that you may want to bookmark for future reference, you can read the latest swine flu updates on CNN.com:

If You've Been Exposed To Asbestos You Should Find Out About Mesothelioma

“This is a sponsored link - I have received monetary compensation to write about the linked website.”

I have been seeing quite a few television commercials lately warning about the mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a dangerous form of cancer that is caused by asbestos exposure.

Even environmental activist and legal expert Erin Brockovich (pictured left) is on a recent television ad talking about the negative effect that large corporations can have on the working class individuals, and how workers could be at risk for mesothelioma.

If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos you should find out more about Mesothelioma. Even if you live in the same home with someone who works with asbestos you may be at risk if you've been exposed to asbestos dust or fibers by having contact with their clothing.

There's lots of information on Mesothelioma available online and there is also legal help for those who become sick by being exposed to asbestos at work. Mesothelioma is even mentioned on Erin Brockovich's offical website www.brockovich.com.

Natural Appetite Suppressants - Simple Changes Can That Will Help You Lose Weight

“This is a sponsored link - I have received monetary compensation to write about the linked website.”

If your appetite is out of control and you need to lose a few pounds then you might want to give some of the all natural appetite suppressants a try.

Apples, green leafy vegetables, and water top the list of satisfying foods that will help keep your hunger in check. If you drink a glass of water before you sit down to eat a meal you'll feel full quicker and eat less. Also, sometimes we think we feel hungry when we are actually thirsty, so it's important to stay hydrated.

Diet drinks filled with artificial sweetners do not qualify as an appetite suppressant because some studies show that they actually cause food and sugar cravings. So stick to plain water or add a splash of lemon or lime juice for flavor.

These simple tricks really work, it's a cheap and effective way to stop overeating, so give it a try to see if it works for you.

Who Made The "100 Most Beautiful People" List 2009

I honestly hate the People Magazine "100 Most Beautiful People" list. This year they're claiming that by selecting some individuals who are beautiful on the inside as well as out they are setting a good example.

No, choosing someone who is ugly (or even average) or has a major disability on the outside and is beautiful on the inside would be setting a good example.

Still, everyone is curious to see which hot celebrities are topping the list for 2009. Here's just some of the sneak preview names that made this years beautiful people list:

Actress Christina Applegate, Taylor Swift, Halle Berry, the 90210 stars, singer CIARA, actor Zach Efron, Christina Aguilera, Twilight star Robert Pattison, first lady Michelle Obama, and "Dancing With The Stars" "Melissa Rycroft."

You can view these celebrities pictures and more sneak preview most beautiful names on the People.com website.

New Brain Surgery Helps People To Lose Weight

“This is a sponsored review, article, or link - I have received monetary compensation to write about the product, company, or website.”


According to yesterday's Oprah Winfrey Show there may be something that works even better than the best diet pills. But I don't think that too many people will be hopping on board to try out the very latest weight loss brain surgery which hooks up electrodes to the part of your brain responsible for appetite and cravings.

You can actually turn the device which is implanted in your brain on and off. On the show they made the surgery sound like a miracle but if I had a choice between being an overweight person or being a person with electrodes attached to my brain I'd pick overweight hands down.

I think that good old fashioned healthy eating and exercise tops the list of "most reasonable" weight loss methods, and of course a healthy dose of body acceptance couldn't hurt.

If you want to find out more about this weight loss brain surgery you can find out about the show on EverythingOprah.com.

First Swine Flu Death In U.S. - Toddler In Texas

It seems like everyone around the world is holding their breath to see what will happen with the current swine flu epidemic. It's extremely serious according to health official but since the number of confirmed North American swine flu cases was low not too many people were very concerned.

But the medical experts were right the swine flu is spreading and now the first U.S. death due to the illness has occured. A 23-month-old Texas child has died after contracting the "Swine Flu." It's the first swine flu death outside of Mexico.

The Swine Flu outbreak has been traced back to a 5-year-old boy in Mexico who was diagnosed on April 2, 2009. The boy has made a full recovery but the swine flu has spread across Mexico with an estimated 2, 500 illnesses and 159 deaths so far.

This morning the World Health Organization stated that their are a total of 112 confirmed cases of Swine Flu around the world (exluding Mexico).

Indoor / Outdoor Decorating For Summer

“This is a sponsored review, article, or link - I have received monetary compensation to write about the product, company, or website.”

Just when I thought summer had arrived we had a very cold and rainy day yesterday in Ontario, Canada. Despite the on and off again warm weather the locals are getting ready for summer by purchasing plants, outdoor cushions, lawn decorations, etc.

I love watching decorating shows at this time of year because they offer so many great tips for making the backyard a stylish and usable place.

As I get older I'm finding that I spend more money on the garden and less money eating out, going to the movies, etc. Especially with the economy the way it is right now, I feel that spending money on the home is a better idea than blowing it on something I'll never see again.

If you visit the www.hgtv.com website you'll find a ton of decorating ideas including "green" ones that can get you started on your summer home design both indoors and outdoors.

Our New Kitten Bunny Is Keeping Us Busy

One week ago we adopted a ten-week-old kitten which we named Bunny. The whole family has been working together to take care of the new kitty.

The new kitten spends most of its time playing with it's many cat toys and running around like a tiny maniac and the rest of its time passed out from exhaustion. Aren't kittens adorable?


This time of year the local animal shelters are filled with kittens who need home, not to mention all of the people advertising their "free kittens" which they are unable to care for. If you decide to adopt a kitten just remember that you'll need to "babyproof" your home to make it safe and that kittens require alot of attention. But of course it's worth it.

You'll also need to stock up on kitty supplies. We've been feeding our kitten both dry kitten food and wet cat food as well as pet supplements. We also purchased some cat toys, a small litter box, special kitten friendly kitty litter, and pet shampoo.

All of the pet supplies can really add up but there are some great website's like Jefferspet.com that offer some great discounts on pet treats, toys, and other supplies on their website so if you're a pet lover you can check out the site to find out what bargains their offering or to see the "treat of the day," a pet treat offered at a special discounted price.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's Surrogate Twins

People.com just announced that Matthew Broderick, 47, and his wife Jessica Parker, 44, will be having twins this summer. It was easy for the celebrity couple to keep their baby news a secret because it isn't Jessica but a surrogate who is carrying the couples twin girls.

Celebrity couples are starting a new trend of having babies over the age of 40. What was once thought of as "too old" to have a new baby is now changing with the modern times, especially since older couples are more likely to have an established career and provide a child with the best there is to offer.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick already have a son together, 6-year-old James Wilkie. The family is looking forward to their new additions. You can find out more on this story on People.com.

In the midst of the beginning of the "swine flu" epidemic Oprah Winfrey has Dr. Oz on her show to discuss the dangers of "flesh eating bacteria" and a superbug called MRSA.

Both are very scary diseases which can kill within days but they are also quite rare. Even so, Dr. Oz said that MRSA is on the rise so it couldn't hurt to find out more about how to prevent it.

I would like to hear what Dr. Oz has to say about the swine flu but perhaps he will discuss it on an upcoming Oprah Winfrey Show episode.

There's only been 64 confirmed cases of "swine flu" in the United States and no deaths to date. It's still a mystery why so many Mexican residents have died from the illness. You can find out about the latest swine flu updates and developments on CNN.com.

Craiglist Killer Suspect Behind Bars - Has Fiancee and Wedding Website

Police have arrested 22-year-old Philp Markoff, a medical student who they believe to be the "Craiglist Killer." Philip Markoff's fiancee Megan McCallister says that he is a "beautiful person" and believes he is innocent.

Philip Markoff and Megan McCallister met while volunteering at a local emergency room and have been dating for four years. They have been planning to get married August 14, 2009 and even had a wedding website online which has recently been taken down.

Authorities are accusing Philip Markoff of luring women via Craiglist advertisements and then attacking and robbing them. They also believe that he may be responsible of Craiglist victim Julissa Brisman. Markoff was caught on a surveillance tape last week at the luxury hotel where the most recent Craiglist victim was attacked. The victim's description of the man who attacked her matched up to that of Philip Markoff.

The fact that this seemingly good natured boy-next-door could in fact be the "Craiglist Killer" is eerie to say the least. The story is beginning to look like a real life CSI episode.

4/20 - National Pot Smoking Day

Here we go again, it's another 420 which stands for National Pot Smoking Day which takes place on 4/20 or April 20th each year.

Although some potheads claim that 420 began after the police code 420 which meant "Smoking In Progress" caught on other groups say this is false and that the true origin of the 420 marijuana phenomenon began after a group of high school students got high everyday at 4:20.

Either way, who cares, it's a stupid (and illegal) holiday. I suppose their will be lots of people skipping work and school today to follow their passion for weed. Have fun.

Jamie Foxx Goes Too Far In Verbal Bashing Of Miley Cyrus

Jamie Foxx doesn't like Miley Cyrus so he decided to share his negative opinion of the "Hannah Montana" star on his radio show "The Foxxhole."

It's hard to believe how easily an adult can cut down a 16-year-old kid. Maybe whatever Miley Cyrus said was rude and uncalled for, I don't know, but there is absolutely no reason for an adult to verbally attack a teenager like this. It's just sick to think that telling a 16-year-old to "make a sex tape," "do heroin," and "catch Chlamydia from a bicycle seat" is acceptable to anyone.

Customized Stamps Are Quick and Easy - Design Your Own For Work or Home

“This is a sponsored review, article, or link - I have received monetary compensation to write about the product, company, or website.”


I recently saw an advertisement for rubber stamps and I have been considering creating my own customized stamps to use for both work and home. With all of the technological devices available nowadays many people are forgetting about the convenience of items like the rubber stamp that have been around for so many years.

I remember as a child my mother worked in an office as a secretary and she had tons of rubber stamps to use for different tasks. She had a customized rubber stamp for addressing envelopes, one for stamping dates, and she had a signature stamp to use for signing paperwork. Without the help of her large variety of rubber stamps it would have taken her hours of typing addresses and dates and writing out signatures to get her work done.

Computers are fantastic but there not the answer to everything. Printing out address labels on the computer is time consuming while using a rubber stamp is quick and easy. It's easy to create your own custom stamps online at VistaPrint.com. They offer an easy to use stamp design template and you don't have to be computer savvy to use it.

If you have your own business logo you can upload it to the site but if you're not sure where to start VistaPrint.com offers 70,000 free stock images for you to choose from. You'll be able to create your own unique business stamp in no time with the step by step process provided on the website.

Rubber stamps are convenient and will save you time whether you're working or at home so check out VistaPrint.com to find out more.

Michael Douglas Facelift Is Big News These Days

For the past few weeks I keeep running into Internet news articles discussing Michael Douglas' possible face lift. Seriously, I can't see what the big deal is all about. So many of the female actresses undergo botox, facelifts, breast implants, etc., and it doesn't make headlines.

A man gets a facelift and everyone wants to know the details. Michael Douglas is 64-years-old, maybe he wants to keep up his trademark appearance to continue getting good acting roles or maybe he doesn't like the fact that he's losing his looks as he ages, he has the money to get plastic surgery so why not. It's not liking he's pulling a Michael Jackson, it's just a simple facelift.

Madonna's Fight For 3-Year-Old Mercy Continues - April 9, 2009

Madonna's not giving up on her quest to adopt 3-year-old Mercy, a little girl being raised in a Malawian orphanage. Last week a Malawi judge denied Madonna's adoption petition saying that the star had not lived the required amount of time in the country.

Once the news of Madonna's rejection hit the media, Mercy's father appeared out of nowhere saying he did not know the child existed but will do his best help out.

This makes for a very sad situation for Madonna who only wanted to give the little girl a better life which included a mother and siblings.

Rumor has it that Madonna will appeal the court's decision and this time the Malawi Human Rights Commission is stepping in to help win the case for the hopeful pop star. I am hoping that this is a fight she'll eventually win.

Adam Lambert is blowing the competition away with his outstanding performance each week. Last night's American Idol Season 8 (episode 27) performance of the "Tears For Fears" song "Mad World" brought Simon Cowell to give Lambert a standing ovation.

Adam Lambert is currently in the top 8 and I think that both the American Idol judges as well as fans would be shocked if Adam Lambert didn't win American Idol Season 8. This kid has extraordinary talent that goes above and beyond being just another rock star.

Create Your Own Custom T-Shirt For Less at VistaPrint

“This is a sponsored review, article, or link - I have received monetary compensation to write about the product, company, or website.”


I've been thinking about making up custom printed t-shirts to promote my blogs but I wasn't sure where to start. I checked out a few different websites but their custom t-shirt prices were far too high and I wasn't crazy about the quality of t-shirts they offered.

Then I found out that VistaPrint.com offers custom t-shirt services for personal use, wedding parties, teams, businesses, etc., and their low prices are fantastic. I used VistaPrint for my Wedding invitations and was very pleased with the service provided but I didn't realize that they also offered custom printing on t-shirts, baseball caps, key rings, calendars and more.

I would love to have blogging t-shirts with my website address on it to give away during contests, to wear at blogging conferences, or even to wear around town to promote my websites locally.

I will definitely be choosing VistaPrint.com to make up the T-Shirts to promote my websites. VistaPrint makes it super easy to create your own design on their website and in my past dealings with the company I've had super fast, professional service at great low prices so I trust that they'll come through for me again.

You can even upload a picture of yourself, your child, or your pet to make great t-shirts for gifts for loved ones, so use your imagination and check out the website to see what kind of printed t-shirts you could create today.

Soap Opera Guiding Light Cancelled! Don't Miss The Last Episode

The long running soap opera Guiding Light has been cancelled by CBS. The radio version of the show was created by Irna Phillips in 1937 and later moved to television in 1952. It is the longest running soap opera.

The decision to end the soap was made after years of steadily declining viewers. The show originally tried to cut back on filming expenses to save the show but it was not enough. The last episode of Guiding Light will air on September 18, 2009.

I love Soap Operas but like most of today's modern women I don't have time during the day to watch an hour long show and I couldn't be bother taping it. I think that if Soap Operas moved to the evenings they'd have a better chance at maintaining viewers. I'd hate to think that the days of soap operas are ending.
