Snowball is a medium sulphur crested Eleanora cockatoo and he loves to dance and sing. He loves the Back Street Boys. No one taught Snowball to dance…he just heard this song and suddenly felt like dancing. We’re all jealous because he can outdance each one of us…nobody likes a show off! When he’s really in the mood, he dances and sings. And at the end of the performance he takes a bow or two or twenty!! Enjoy the show. Read More…

I had the pleasant surprise to discover, this morning, a new feature in the gooogle image search: the option to filter results for “Extra Large images†(along with the already classic large, medium and small images). Digital photography – the megapixels – begis to leave marks…

Coast Guard Video: The Coast Guard offloaded more than 40,000 pounds of cocaine worth an estimated $500 million from cutter Sherman here April 23, 2007, seized by the crew in three busts near Central America in February and March.
The offload will include approximately 38,000 pounds of cocaine seized in the largest cocaine bust in maritime history.
The Ecuadorian-flagged fishing vessel Don Juan K was approached in the Pacific Ocean Feb. 19 off the coast of Mexico while allegedly offloading cocaine into “go-fast” (cigarette-style boat) boats. The fishing vessel’s crew apparently set fire to Don Juan K in an attempt to destroy the evidence and flee in the go-fasts. Sherman’s crew stopped the go-fasts and recovered about 900 pounds of cocaine as Don Juan K sank. The 14 crew members are being processed for further legal action.
The 330-foot Panamanian-flagged motor vessel Gatun was interdicted in the Pacific Ocean Mar. 18 off the coast of Panama while heading north toward the United States. Sherman’s crew stopped and boarded the vessel and found 765 bales of cocaine weighing approximately 38,000 pounds in two shipping containers. Gatun was escorted back to Panama and its 14 crew members processed for further legal action.
Sherman’s crew stopped and boarded a small stateless go-fast in the Pacific Ocean Mar. 25 off the coast of Panama following a short chase, in which, the go-fast attempted to flee at a high rate of speed. Approximately 2000 pounds of cocaine was found aboard the go-fast and its four crew members were processed for further legal action.
The Coast Guard works in close coordination with Joint Interagency Task Force South, U.S. Attorney’s office, Panama Express South, DEA, FBI, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection, as well as the Departments of Justice, State and Homeland Security on counter drug operations in the Pacific Ocean near Central and South America. These drug smuggling routes are some of the most active, yielding roughly 70% of the cocaine seized annually by the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard has kept about two million pounds of cocaine from reaching America’s streets since 1973.

A high school teacher in Gilbert, Arizona has been placed on administrative leave, but the reasons for this are unclear.
A video of the teacher performing a cheerleader routine in front of her class has been posted on YouTube. This video, shot on a student’s cell phone, is believed to be the reason. Some in the school community don’t think it’s a big deal, while others are concerned.
For so many years, historians and casual observers alike have observed the events of World War II through faded black and white images. What most people do not know is the fact that quite a large portion of the WWII was shot using color film! However, it wasn’t until recently that a lot of the photographs and motion picture footage was de-classified by the U.S. Government.
Amazing HQ pictures from WW II. Just click on thumbs. Enjoy!
Hi, I’m Johan from Sweden, I’m on a hamburger diet. I’ve lost over a 40 lbs and i’m still shrinking.
I’ve got a story about a man who has been on a strict hamburger diet for 83 days. Johan has lost 60 pounds so far, the goal was 50 pounds in 90 days. It is a big thing in Sweden and he has a blog by the name of Minimize Me (instead of Supersize Me, of course) Read More…
