The advise from EMTs Jackson and Green witnesses said 

Their cold advice: “Call 911,”  and was said to have left before other paramedics arived.

 This advise has probably now cost Jackson and Green their jobs and maybe even some jail time.

A quote from Serena printed on ESPN :

“People realize that I’m a great player, and one moment doesn’t define a person’s career,” Williams told the AP. “And I was right, for the most part: It wasn’t right the way I reacted — I never said it was — but I was right about the call.”

Serena also noted that the outburst, which resulted in a record fine and two-year probationary period at Grand Slam tournaments, “got a lot more people excited about tennis.”

Runner up to Serena Williams was actually a four legger.  A horse named ”Zenyatta”  who’s career is 14-0, Zenyatta is also the first female horse who won the Breeders Cup Classic.

His two children son Richard and daughter Roberta were present.  Quotes from his son Richard from Fox channel

“Beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, he was not only my earthly father; he was my spiritual father and mentor. The last member of his generation in the Roberts family, he had a passion to bring healing to the sick.
 
“His name is synonymous with miracles. He came along when many in Christendom did not believe in the power of God and His goodness. Oral Roberts was known for sayings such as ‘God Is a Good God,’ ‘Expect a Miracle,’ ‘Release Your Faith,’ and ‘Plant Your Seed for a Harvest.’
 
“The Bible teaches that when a Christian dies, he or she is instantly transferred into the presence of God. The past few months, my father has talked about going home to be with the Lord on a daily basis. He has run his race and finished his course. Now he is in heaven, and we as Christians have the Bible promise that someday we will be reunited. My heart is sad, but my faith in God is soaring.”

New Design Of Sun-Maid Girl

Original Sun-Maid Girl

 

There is an apparent backlash to the recent Sunmaid Raisin girl Change some seem to think she is to Barbie-ish.  I grew up eating raisins and easily identifying the bright red raisin box by the bright color and the little girl in the bonnett holding grapes.

But apparently some one decided that a new make-over for the girl to a modern look. Which now has her a very developed in the chest area its a big change from the young girl with the white blouse that does nothing to show her chest or body development.

I myself don’t understand what having the Sun-Maid raisin girl with a buxom body has to do with selling raisins.  But Sun-Maid president Barry Kriebel apparently thinks the change was inspired to educate the consumers on healthy living. 

When did a females chest have anything to do with healthy living? Could Sun-Maid and president Kridebel be doing a bit of marketing to the male buyers.  Is this healthy change to inspire males to eat more raisins?

Please educate me on this Sun-Maid change Mr. Kriebel.  I can’t seem to put her appearance to healthy education. especially when you have made the chest area on Ms Sun-Maid so much larger than the rest of her body.

What are your thoughts do you like the new Sun-Maid girl? Do you think she has been develope a little to much that now it no longer is really about the Sun-Maid look?

 Barry Kriebel said that the decision to make changes was inspired by the desire to educate consumers about healthy living choices.

Tiger Woods Domestic Issues?

Over the Thanksgiving holiday Tiger Woods made headlines after being in a minor car accident in his Windermere FL neighborhood.  Although it was considered minor alot of questions are being raised after it was reported that Tiger was unconcious for about 6 minutes.

Further questions are being raised because Tiger Wood’s crash was about 50 ft from his house, where most accidents are at least 25 miles from the home.   Tiger Woods was apparently leaving his home at about 2:25 a.m.

After the crash Elin Woods reported to police that she heard the crash from the house and had to break the back window with a golf club then drag her husband from the car.  

I myself am a little curious as to why Tiger Woods was leaving the home at 2 in the morning.  Why did he only seem to have cuts and bruises to his mouth.  Why would his Wife need to break out the back window with a golf club.  

It sorta seems like there was an argument or something before the crash. A story recently had been printed in a Tabloid Magazine with pictures of Tiger Woods having an affair. Could all of this have something to do with the story of  Tiger’s supposed affair?

 I wonder did Tiger Woods have those cuts and bruises before he left his home?  Was it really an attempt to get Tiger Woods out of the car when the window was smashed with a golf club? Could the golf club have been swung or thrown as the car was leaving the house? 

I think that if my back window was smashed I might have been a bit distracted and could possibly lose control.  He not only went forward and hit a firehidrant but went backwards and hit a neighbors tree.

Was he trying to get away from something? And now that Mr. and Mrs.  Tiger Woods won’t speak with authorities at all about the crash.  It is starting to seem that there is much more to this story than just a minor crash.

I also have questions that if  there is domestic violence will they also get the same treatment as Rihanna and Cris Brown.  Especially if the story comes out that the beautiful blond Elin Woods was the aggressor?

When Tiger Woods finally tells his side of the story maybe the questions can be answered.  I will continue to update this story.

    Oprah Winfrey's Tearful Goodbye

    That’s right, Oprah Winfrey announced on her Friday show that she will be ending the soon to be 25th year show on the 25th anniversary next season.  Oprah was very emotional and choked up as she announce to her full audience that it was true she is ending the Oprah Winfrey Show. Oprah Winfrey Video: http://www.oprah.com/media/20091120-tows-oprah-announcement

    Some of the audience members as well as myself welled up in tears as Oprah choked back tears as she announce her final goodbye.  For me it was more than just a talk show it was my past a part of my childhood.  I remember when it wasn’t Oprah’s show. 

    But she hosted a talk show that could be placed in a catagory  as an old “maury”, Jenny jones” type talk show.  But what made Oprah stand out was I believe she evolved and matured she decided always doing ” digging up dirt” talk shows wasn’t what she was all about. 

    Oprah tried her hand at many things as she evolved she did some acting and later bought the show that did become the Oprah Winfrey show in 1986.  Ms Winfrey was then able to change and shape the show in ways that she wanted. One that I really enjoyed was her “Angel Network”

    And as long as her show has been on the network and the following she has had. Proves it was all for the better and Ms Winfrey didn’t do so bad for herself, now being almost or possibly a billionaire.

    I just want to say thank you Oprah for the 25 year run, thank you for sometimes going where no others would dare go “mississippi” lol and for the many celebrity interviews. I’m so thankful you interviewed Michael Jackson. It was the best interview that I believe he ever had.

    But Oprah can still be seen on her new network she is launching in 2011 called “OWN” Oprah Winfrey Network.  It will be different projects with the Oprah Winfrey feel:)

     I can speak for myself in saying ” The Oprah Winfrey Show” was a wonderful entertaining addition to my morning. Sometimes funny, shocking and tearful but all were worth while. Thank you for everything.

    Charla Nash Before

    Charla Nash Before The Chimp Attack

    Charla Nash Now

    Charla Nash Now After The Chimp Attack

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Charla Nash 55,  did her first interview today on the Oprah Winfrey show after she had been mauled on Febuary 16,2009  by her friend Sandra Herold’s, 70,  pet chimp Travis whom she had raised as her child.  Travis was eventually shot to death by police. 

     Charla Nash was mauled by her friends 200 lb chimp after she stepped out of her car  to assist her friend in getting the aggitated chimp back inside. Charla today still remains in the Cleveland Clinic where she’s been recovering for the past 9 months. 

    Although Charla Nash says she doesn’t remember any part of the attack and doesn’t want to.  A really nerve pounding account of what she does remember about Travis always being scary: a quote from her Oprah interview : 

     ”One time he was running around the yard and swinging off the trees of the house, and he jumped on my back and he pulled a big hunk of hair out of my head,” she says. “I had tears in my eyes and [Sandra] was laughing and I told her, ‘It hurts.’”

    Charla says shes getting stronger and healthier everyday and what she misses most is spending time with her 17 year old daughter.  Charla says she wears a veil now so that she doesn’t scare others. And her message to others is that exotic animals shouldn’t be made pets and are very dangerous.  Authorities say that Travis the Chimp was believed to have had the Lyme Tic disease.

    Nash is suing Sandra Herold for 50 million.
