  • There’s a lot of bacon in that pig.
  • As a tween or teen, I use to like watching the first game show on MTV, Remote Control.
  • One thing I always liked about the host, Ken Ober, was that he had framed pictures of game show host greats behind him.
  • Even though I never watched a single episode, I loved the title of MTV’s Half Hour Comedy Hour.
  • I have a friend whose entire childhood was shaped by that show.
  • A while back I mentioned something about yogurt and pumpkin for dogs, here’s some more detail.
  • WifeGeeding’s doctor doesn’t accept out health insurance, looks like it’s time to dip into savings.
  • This is pretty cool, I remember Denzel did something similar:
    Reports are emerging that, on June 26, Angelina Jolie made an un-publicized, under-the-radar trip to visit wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
    She did not have an entourage. She gave out gift bags with $1000 Best Buy gift certificates. All this is only coming out now because a wife of a wounded soldier blogged about it and a few people took pictures    .   Link
  • Watching the All Star Game last night, I couldn’t help but think how special of a moment it must have been for home town boy Joe Buck to be announcing.
  • I loved how Ozzie Smith use to do the backflip.
  • Obama wearing his Sox jacket cracked me up.  And if the All Star Game was in Texas and he wore the same jacket, I’d boo him as well.
  • Yes, I know, many of you would boo him for other reasons, which would be your right . . . God bless, freedom of speech.
  • Normally you see politicians trying to play to fans, so I actually like how Obama represented his team.
  • A bunch of hairy sausages
  • For those of you that want to jazz up your Twitter background with one of your Flickr photos, there’s Flickr my Background

LONDON – British doctors designed a radical solution to save a girl with major heart problems in 1995: they implanted a donor heart directly onto her own failing heart.

After 10 years with two blood pumping organs, Hannah Clark’s faulty one did what many experts had thought impossible: it healed itself enough so that doctors could remove the donated heart.

But she also had a price to pay: the drugs Clark took to prevent her body from rejecting the donated heart led to malignant cancer that required chemotherapy.

Details of Clark’s revolutionary transplant and follow-up care were published online Tuesday in the medical journal Lancet.
