pink october
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I wasn't going to let this month go by without saying a word. Or two. Not with one being diagnosed every three minutes. Or one in every seven being diagnosed in a lifetime.
Not out to alarm. Just a friendly reminder to set that alarm. Once a month to conduct a breast self-exam AND once a year for a mammogram if you happen to be over 40.

A giant version of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa has gone on display at a shopping centre in Wrexham, Wales. It measures 17.5 meters across and is 50 times bigger than the original painting.

Atchara
Atchara is an appetizer made from pickled green papaya. Julienned or grated green papaya are placed in airtight containers and soaked for a week in cooked vinegar and sugar mixture with onions, garlic, ginger, pepper corn, and red bell pepper.

I adore Adam Lambert!
I am so loving the cover of Adam Lambert's new album called For Your Entertainment (see pic below). Already it is generating some buzz, good and bad, which is great if you are in show business. Of course, it will not please everybody. But for me personally, I think it is great because it puts the idea of difference or diversity right in the middle of things, which is something transpeople do on a daily basis.I hope Adam's new album's cover will spark discussions about gender that some people are...

Why People Worship Money
Money is powerful. Money is generally good (to the one who has it). Money is everywhere (or more accurately, it is recognized almost everywhere). And those with the Money know everything, or at least they know a whole lot more than those without. More importantly, what they know are often things that would point them in the direction of even more Money.
Ah, Money. Almost omnipotent, generally omni-benevolent, virtually omni-present, practically omniscient. Money’s ‘omnis’ may have qualifiers,...

Let’s face it—the primary reasons behind Chiz Escudero’s decision to resign from NPC are: he lacks the funds after his big-ticket financiers withdrew and he is being weakened by defections. Faced with this prospect, what do you think would an astute politician like Escudero will do?
First, he needs to assess the cause of these defections, both organizationally and financially. Admit it—his ratings went down when Senator Noynoy Aquino entered the political fray. His ratings...

Mooncalf definition searched after O’Reilly says it
"Don't be a mooncalf." Bill O’Reilly mentioned the word "mooncalf" on his Fox TV segment. He asked everyone to search for the mooncalf definition. Honestly, I don't understand what the significance of the word was that moment he mentioned it and if it was even used in the proper context. Bill O’Reilly has a disturbed mind, that is what I think of this guy. Bill O'Reilly probably is a mooncalf!
