Belisi Fashion Sense

Here is a little tale about fashion. I think it ties in well with the fashion sense of Belisi. He really strives to create a balanced blend of European flair and American styling.

I have moved to Europe from North America. One thing that was darn sure to stock up on before the move was casual clothes. About a year after we moved, my son was getting an award at school, so we were obligated to attend a ceremony. We didn't know what was expected as far as a dress code for these things, and my wife decided that I had to go find some dressier pants. To make a long story short, I only wore these pants once. They are cut and styled in a way to which I am not accustomed. I am dreading the day that I need to buy new swimming trunks.

Belisi tends to choose colors and patterns for his accessories that I really like. Take a look at these Belisi Fashions Photos and see if you agree. Buying accessories is actually a less of a gamble than pants. A few millimeters difference in tie width isn't going to make me feel like I am not myself. I don't, however, want to approach Ryan Seacrest territory.

Shakira Gives Birth in Prison

No, not that Shakira. A woman name Shakira Staten had her baby in her cell after staff ignored her pleas to go to a hospital. There was a delay of four hours between her first request and the assistance that she received post partum.

Officials are not admitting any fault in this unfortunate event and have said that an explanation for the events that transpired are comtained within the confidential medical records. I suspect that it's a boy who cried wolf kinda thing.

I come across interesting stories when I do a Google News search for Shakira. Most of them do not involve Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll.

A Lesson about Relationships

This is a very dramatic video. It seems to be centered around a lesson regarding Christian family values. I mostly just like the happy accordion music.

If part of the advice in the song is not to fight in front of your children, I am 100% in agreement.

A Really Good Neighborhood

If you are trying your best to avoid being exposed to offensive material on the internet, do not press next blog on the top of this window. Blogspot has a lot of bad stuff.

HostFire is a web host that exists in order to offer churches and Christian organization a server that they can have faith in. It is a server with no pornography, spammers, criminal activities,or hate groups. They offer three different plans with the biggest one consisting of 10GB of storage and 100GB of file tranfer for $12.75 per month. Non profits get a 10% discount.

They 'Play Hips Don't Lie' at Summer Camp

I was doing my usual Shakira related queries and I came across a well written piece about a summer camp that is run by a church. The journalist sought to emphasize the fact that religion was not being shoved down the throats of the kids. The focus was on love and fun.

One example of the typical activities involved blasting 'Hips Don't Lie' on the loud speakers as part of a game.

Here is a neat quote from one of the camp councilors:

"In our relationships with each other, I feel like that's where God is most fully present and I am most alive."

Fire Ants

If you are attacked by a fire ant colony, shaking it like Shakira is not the most effective strategy.

TheControlFire Ants.com website advises using professionally formulated baits to combat these damaging and dangerous pests.

Here is a neat and scary fact that I picked from the site. The sure fire way to determine whether an ant population are fire ants is to jab a stick into their mound and leave it there. Fire ants will frantically race up and down the stick trying to attack what they perceive to be an invader. Do not hold on to the stick. I have been bitten by several different species of ants while picking berries. I have heard that fire ants have the worst bite. Ant bites are nasty.

Boy Shakira Gone from AGT ???

When 'Boy Shakira' burst onto the talent show scene, everyone was hoping for a repeat of the Sanjaya phenomenon. I think even the people who jump on the hater bandwagons secretly enjoy the opportunity.

I don't think the Shakira impersonator is going to stay in the public eye for long. I wish him the best. He seems like a sweet person.

There is no question in my mind. Luigi is NOT the most talented person in America. But that isn't what the TV show is really all about.

One last thing, is there any way to vote Jerry Springer off of the show?

Save with Online Coupons

I can remember my mother getting me to cut coupons out of the weekly flyers back when I was little. We lived on a farm with a wood burning stove in the kitchen. Most of the newsprint went into the fire soon after it arrived, but my mother liked to save the coupons just in case she ever got around to using them.

I remember my mother getting me to sort through coupons and toss the expired ones in a pile of things that she wanted to burn. I don't have any clear memories of her using coupons. Maybe the candy bars were distracting me.

Online coupons like the ones available at eCouponcodes.com can't be used to start a kitchen fire. Aside from that they are much more convenient than the ones we used to cut out. These codes a very easy to use when you are shopping online.

The site is updated daily with all the latest deals from a whole lot of great merchants. The store that jumped out at me on the merchant list was OLD NAVY. They have clothes for the whole family and coincidentally, everybody in my family wears clothes. Mostly because it is socially unacceptable and illegal to run around naked.

The Biggest Butt in Showbusiness is fake

John Travolta has a big role in the new movie version of the musical Hairspray. He wears a prosthetic suit that gives him the voluptuous curves of a 300lb woman. His character, Edna, sings and dances a lot. I'm guessing that John lost a pound or two during filming.

Click here to view a CBS interview of Travolta where he talks at length about what it was like to be a woman.

LaRadioLive.com is Awesome

Hey, check this out...

LaRadioLive.com, Freestyle's #1 iRadio Station is aimed at people who still get down to the Latin Freestyle sound that was huge in the mid to late 1980's and 1990's.

I am a devoted listener of internet radio these days.

There is a schedule for the station on their MySpace page. Personally, I would just as soon tune in when there isn't a scheduled presenter, because that is when they stream non stop freestyle. I'm going to finish up this little shout out post and then move over to the computer that has the high wattage speakers. Later peeps.

Is Shakira Still Engaged?

Is it possible that somebody has a fear of commitment? It seems like immediately after rumors of an impending wedding started, Shakira started stepping out and partying.

Maybe it's all a matter of perception and media spin. Maybe the partying is actually just a matter of social obligation. I haven't heard anything further on the rumors that Penelope Cruz is to be in the wedding party. There is still going to be a wedding, right? I don't know anything. Why did I ever decide to write a celebrity blog about such a private person?

Fitness Dating

If you are single and you want to meet buff guys, you might be interested in a new kind of niche online personals. It's called fitness dating, and it is taking off in a big way. What I really like about it is that it opens up the options for that first meeting. Traditionally, online dating leads to a first meeting at a coffee shop or a restaurant. If you clicked with somebody on Fitnessdates.com you could invite them to play racquetball or go wall climbing.

You would also have less worries about your date turning out to be a listless slug of a human being. I have heard that some very inactive people use the Internet. I could show you pictures.

If you are single and looking in 2007, I don't have to explain the basics of how a personals site works. FitnessDates.com is part of the current crop of sites that have FREE SIGNUP. What I can tell you is that I spent some time checking it out and there are attractive and interesting people using the site. I already used the term buff guys, there are some nice girls there too. A feature that I really like is the ability of non-members to look at full profiles. I think that will encourage more people to join.

Oh, Boy...Shakira Must Love This

America's Got Talent. Despite this fact, the show that uses that sentence as a name has chosen an odd assortment of competitors. Female impersonation is a talent, but I think this boys real talent is manipulating ratings hungry producers of lame knock off television shows. You go girl, uh, I mean Boy.

I will watch to see if there is any comment or even interaction from Shakira.

A Latina Dating Site

I just had a look at a new latina dating site. There are a pile of interesting people on the site already. LatinaRomance.com is a latina personals that is fast, easy and free to join.

I looked at a sampling of profiles and saw men and women from 18-62. I was able to view full profiles without joining. The profile that I looked at, which was a beautiful woman by some strange coincidence had loads of information. There are about 40 or so blanks to fill in.

I approve whole heartedly of niche personals whether they are about ethnicity, interests, body type, age, whatever. It saves a lot of time to be in a site where everybody approves of one of the main attributes by which you define yourself.

Shakira Joins Concert Celebrating the End of Slavery

Shakira is set to perform at a Concert Celebrating the End of Slavery.

I just found this story about the 'ThisDay Festival' in Lagos Nigeria.

The journalistic stylings of this African are as entertaining as the story. He talks about the likelihood of bulges in concert goers' pants. The story is about all the big headliners that will help celebrate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery. Shakira will be one of them.

Big Girls You Are Beautiful

I wish that I could have been present during the casting call that Mika held for his Big Girls video. I think my appreciation for feminine curves might be more profound than his.

If you are a Big Girl, or if you are like me and really like Big Girls, you should experience the grandeur that is the bbw singles website BBWRomance.com.

I am now happily married, so no bbw dating sites for me. I will say that I looked at a half dozen profile previews and they all seemed like sweeties. Joining the site is fast, free, and easy. What are you waiting for?

Shakira Rocks Out at Live Earth 2007

I suspect that there will be some comments criticizing Shakira for essentially using a guitar as a prop. In her defense, her instrument is fairly loud in the mix during the chorus. I would compare her guitar playing to Bryan Adams. She is much better looking than him.

Buying and Selling Used Cars

I have been in the position a few times where I was undecided as to whether to buy a new or a used car. Used Cars are an immediate money savings, but they can be costly down the road if you buy unwisely. I am reasonable happy with my 1990 Skoda at the moment.

If you are in a situation where you haven't made up your mind whether or not to buy new or used, you need to do some market research and you don't want to physically walk into a dealership. It's only natural that a salesperson will try to influence your decision making to their advantage

BuyYourCar.co.uk is a website that believes advertising automobiles online is more than just a basic listing and picture.

Each Dealer that advertises their stock through BuyYourCar provides participating dealers with standard listings, individual listings and dedicated pages in the site.

There are also dedicated pages that list stock by make. Additionally every car also gets entered into the regional search thus enabling the user to search for cars within their local community or the vicinity.

The site also makes good use of Google Maps.

Natural listing for BuyYourCar are going through the roof in Google. The site is benefiting from great search engine placement. I think the domain name is a great advantage for them, but the focus of the site results in good natural results in Google and elsewhere.

I'm going to put on my user cap now and take the site for a test run. Just to make it hard, i am going to pretend that I am looking for a Morris Minor.

I found one quickly and easily. My coworker has a car exactly like this. My kids think it is really cool. The Traveller has real wood trim.

I just noticed a great feature when I went over to the new car page. BuyYouCar has a table of best discounts on new cars. I can't tell whether these are manually placed or automatic. This feature would be a great convenience for a car buyer who wants to come back to the site often in hopes of spotting a great deal. As we all no great deals don't last long.

13 Year Old Girls Should Not Have Web Cams

I am a parent of 13 year old girls, so I can make that statement with impunity. When I bought a camera recently, they made it clear that they wanted to borrow it to do really ridiculous things. Maybe even as ridiculous as this:



I let my kids upload animations to YouTube. They always end up removing them, I suspect this origami duet will be short lived as well.

Rumors of a Shakira /Antonio Breakup

I haven't seen the rumors in print. I have seen the existence of the rumors mentioned in print.

Shakira has been more socially active in recent weeks. I had just chalked it up to her blowing off some steam after a grueling World tour.

Shakira has been engaged for several years.

Termite Termination Time

If you have a termite problem, you need to act fast because they don't take any time off from doing the things that they do. But don't panic, they work steadily, but they work slowly. Go to the internet and form a plan of action based on good information. KillTheTermites.com has a mission that is pretty much explained in its web address. If you want to find out the history of termites or the sex life of termites, go to Wikipedia, but don't rely on the information.

Some people live in blissful denial only to discover a problem when the have a pre-sale home inspection. I have never been in a termite prone region, I saw lots of Carpenter Ants. The ants only eat rotten wood. Termites eat sound wood, the kind that keeps your house standing. If you get to a termite problem early enough the termite damage can be repaired with simple reinforcement.

Attraction

Have you ever wondered what goes on in your brain to make it so that you are not attracted to people who you can intellectually determine to be beautiful? Is the process almost the same for everyone or is it vastly different?

With ex-lovers, I think that part of the process is that our illusions have been shattered and we tend to focus on those inconsequential flaws that we didn't even see when we were in love.

I once had the terrible experience of continuing to be physically attracted to an ex. This dissipated over time, but it was painful while it lasted.

Review of FurnitureFromHome.com

Whether you have a specific and immediate need for Office Furniture or some other practical item, or you just love shopping for exquisite pieces of furniture, this Online Furniture Store is perfect for you.

It makes sense to me for a furniture site to have really good design. Furniture has been the focus of design since long before the Internet existed. They put a search box right beside the page title in the header. A search gives you a table of results and also a check list for refining your search. I really like the way this works.

I don't design websites, but I know people who build eStores and as far as I can see, FurnitureFromHome.com is about as good as it gets. I personally don't like anything too Flash heavy. And I detest those virtual guide talking head things. Give me a nice static site with a logical layout any day.

The layout is really great on FurnitureFromHome.com. The key part of the main page has images linked to featured products and sale items. To the left are tables that give you the choice of shopping by room, by item or even by color. Contact information is placed where it can't be missed. the stores toll free number is paced at the top and the middle of the page. The footer has a link to a full page of contact information.

The amount and variety of furniture is really great as well. The Sectional sofas are very trendy and work well with today's lifestyle.

When you link to a specific item on the site there is a useful list of other items that you might like

If you are in search of a good online furniture store nj based FurnitureFromHome.com fits the bill. I should mention that they have nation wide delivery as well.

Shakira on your iPhone

iPhoneLive.org can hook you up with a Shakira wallpaper for your iPhone. Assuming you can get one. Assuming you can get it activated. Assuming you can figure out how to put wallpapers on it. That's a lot of assuming and you know what they say. U and ME know that Shakira has a really nice ASS and we want an image of it on our iPhones.
