WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The attorney for George Tiller says the late-term abortion provider was shot and killed at his church in Wichita, Kan.
Attorney Dan Monnat says Tiller was shot as he served as an usher during Sunday morning services at Reformation Lutheran Church. Monnat said Tiller’s wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time of the shooting.
Callers to Southwest Airlines Co.’s customer service locations will no longer face lengthy hold times.
The Dallas airline has implemented software from Akron, Ohio-based Virtual Hold Technology LLC that lets callers hang up, keep their place in line and get a call back when a customer-service agent is available.
Animal experts have been left baffled by the fluffy white moggy, who was born normal – but began growing wing-shaped appendages on either side of his spine when he was just a year old.
Some experts believe the bony ‘wings’ are in fact a freak mutation – a Siamese twin growing inside the kitty.
Others think the mutation may be genetic, caused by chemicals during his mother’s pregnancy.
I like this trend of high schoolers being creative with their prom outfits as opposed to spending an insane amount of cash on a dress that will only be worn once for about five hours.
Who would have thought coffee filters could be used for clothing? Aimee Kick, a senior at Francis Howell North High School, knew she wanted to wear a dress that would not only be elegant and fashionable, but one-of-a-kind at her senior prom. Aimee spends a lot of time at coffee shops in her spare time and has become known as the “the girl with a coffee cup,” which was the inspiration for her dress.
Just got word from Stevie Nicks tour manager that she was completely blown away by the PS22 Chorus rendition of her song “Landslide!” He said she asked him to replay 2 times afterwards, crying each time she watched! Talk about humbling!! And the kicker?? She invited the PS22 Chorus to sing the song at Madison Square Garden for the upcoming June 11th Fleetwood Mac show!!
Someone took the time to actually rank the sax solos of the 80’s.
I realized about 5 years ago that at some point in the 80s, lots of the popular music started incorporating saxophone solos into their songs. Some of them are fine, but most of them are ridiculous to have in the songs. Below, I have attempted to separate the quality and appropriateness of the solos from what I think of the song as a whole (I still really like most of these songs, even the ones with low grades).
Driving home from work yesterday on I35, I passed a garbage truck that had a flat tire; but, about twenty yards away from it on the access road was a tire store.
A friend recently shared his experience with me about a Baptist wedding he attended. As the couple exchanged vows, the groom “promised to be her leader” and the bride “promised to be her helper.” I’ve been to many Baptist weddings, but that was the first I’ve ever heard of this.
My new pastor left a comment on this blog yesterday, so I may have gained a new reader . . . now I wonder how long has he been reading and if I said anything that will come back to haunt me.
I’ve been a DirecTV customer for a while now, and have been pretty pleased with their service. Yesterday in the mail they sent me a thank-you card for being a loyal customer and gave me three months of Showtime for free starting immediately, I didn’t have to do a thing.
I’ve cut my magazine subscription down to just one. I can find all the material I need to read online, and I’m doing this as a way to try to be more dedicated to books.
The sole magazine I still subscribe to is Mental_Floss, which comes out every other month and is a not too intelligent, intelligent read.
The government has a website to track stimulus funds called recovery.gov. However, I was listening to NPR yesterday (I’m still trying to get more cultured and intellectual) and they talked about a Seattle-based company called Onvia that runs recovery.org. It’s a bit more robust and detailed than the government’s site. For instance, you can break down what your state, county, and city are using regarding stimulus funds. I live in Lewisille, TX in Denton county, and found my city isn’t receiving any stimulus funds but our county received $848,898 to replace two bridges.
My new favorite line from the “Most Interesting Man in the World” commercials that had me laughing for a while . . . He once taught a German Shepherd to bark in Spanish.
I don’t have any plans this weekend, and I love it when it works out that way.
A Minnesota couple is suing a debt collection agency for putting the initials “WWJD” on its collection letters, arguing that it breaks an anti-harassment law by portraying debtors as hell-bound sinners.
And they even offer LandryView, which is a genius idea:
LaundryView is an Internet application that allows you to monitor the status of washers and dryers in connected laundry rooms through a Web browser. LaundryView was developed in response to requests for greater control over laundry activities. Since many people tend to do their laundry during similar time periods, it results in busy laundry rooms. LaundryView’s mission is to help you save time by providing information about the current state of laundry room equipment wherever you have access to a browser or e-mail messages.
SisterGeeding refers to the Jonas Brothers as the Jaundice Brothers.
While driving home from dinner I was flipping through the radio stations and heard old KXAS sports anchor Scott Murray. I didn’t realize he’s in town, but a quick search on the Google found that he has his own media company that has really annoying music on its website.
I always thought his hair and part was a little too thick, my father thought he talked too fast.
Betch attitude? I totally didn’t get that comment from yesterday.
Bill Cosby will be in town soon, I would like to go see him, but I don’t have anyone to go with. WifeGeeding will be with her family on a beach, and I’ll be left to take care of the fur-children.
I like the new ABC commercials were the group stars from different shows – the Jack from Lost and Terri Hatcher from Housewives is my favorite thus far.
It’s not everyday you get to use the word thus.
While watching Mythbusters last night I noticed the girl on the show is pregnant.
