A dog’s life December 31, 2007
Posted by blogerita in : Animal , add a commentHagerstown, Maryland: When the dogs owner, Ken Kemper, died in 2006, he left his entire fortune to his three dogs. His three dogs – Buckshot, Katie and ObuJet – inherited $400,000 and a house. The total asset is worth more than $800,000. The beagle and two Labrador were stray dogs when they were adopted by Kemper. These dogs may not understand what they have inherited from their former master. There is a butler looking after them in the house. Once a week, they have spaghetti dinner with meatballs and garlic bread.

Today, these three dogs are simply lucky dogs. I wouldn’t mind leading a dog’s life.
666 December 31, 2007
Posted by blogerita in : Religion , add a commentReeve, Louisiana: This little town in Louisiana have finally got their wish granted – getting rid of the phone number prefix for their beloved town which is often associated to devil or antichrist.
The residents of this town rejoiced upon hearing the news and they will replace their old prefix of 666 with 749. According to the town mayor, Scott Walker, the request for this change has been going on for the past 40 years.
The number 666 being associated with antichrist started in the Bible with Revelation 13:18 which says “This call for wisdom: let him who has understanding reckon the number of the beast, for it is human number, its number is six hundred and sixty-six”.
Blogerita says:
Why are people so engrossed over this three-digit number? If the devil chose to come to earth, I think the devil will come in whatever number that is convenient to him. Can it be Airforce-1?
Duped over Dope December 31, 2007
Posted by blogerita in : Crime , add a commentKuala Lumpur: There are many young Malaysian girls who were duped into becoming couriers of these international drug rings. These young ladies whom are young graduates were lured by big salaries and opportunities to travel oversea. Many of them were first time travelers. Being young and naïve, they were being targeted by these drug syndicates with the ultimate aim of turning them into a drug mule.
These drug syndicates are rich. They can afford to rent luxurious offices and advertise for jobs to hire fresh graduates. The jobs will offer high salaries with lots of international travel. Usually, they will hire girls who have not traveled oversea before. Once they are hired, they will be given normal job assignments to gain their confidence. Once the drug syndicates have won over the confidence these young girls, these girls will be send overseas for meetings or conventions.
The modus operandi consists of many techniques. First, there are cases where these girls are presented with traveling bags for their first trip oversea. These bags are not ordinary bags. These bags have fake compartments which are filled with drugs. Unknowingly to the girls, they become international drug courier for these syndicates.
Second known technique, the girls are sent on multi destination trips for various meetings and assignments. Being naïve, they will be asked to bring properly wrapped ‘presents’ from first destination for someone in second destination. These ‘presents’ contain drugs.
Third known technique, the syndicate member will travel with the girls. Once they have reached the destination, they will ask the help of the girl to carry one of their luggage. Usually, they will walk in front of the girls. If the girls are caught, they will simply walk away and disappear.
Blogerita says:
These girls will be lucky if they can return home alive. Most of them are sentenced to death and awaiting appeal. Some are serving long jail sentences in foreign land. These girls are so easily swept of their feet by these suave smooth talking men. In this world, there is no such thing as easy money and free vacation. In other words, no free lunch.

Benazir Bhutto
June 21, 1953 - Dec 27, 2007
Rawalpindi:Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in a suicide attack. Her attacker fired a few shots at her when she came out from the sunroof of her bullet-proof car to acknowledge the crowd after a successful public rally.
After firing the shots, he detonated a bomb attached to himself and killed another 20 people in the blast.
Benazir Bhutto, 54, was the best known Pakistani opposition leader to take on President Pervez Musharraf on the coming general election. She was elected Prime Minister of Pakistan twice. First was in 1988 at the age of 35 and the second was in 1993.
She returned home on Oct 18 after a self-imposed exile to participate in the first general election in many years. In her homecoming parade in Karachi, she was targeted by suicide attackers which failed to assassinate her but killed more than 140 people.
Blogerita says:
Benazir Bhutto is a brave leader to lead the Pakistan People Party (PPP) in the most dangerous election. Her family has suffered a lot in the politics of Pakistan. Her father, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, was hanged by the military in 1979. She lost two brothers in strange circumstances. Shah Nawaz died of poisoning in southern France in 1985. Another brother, Murtaza, was shot dead in Karachi in 1996.
May I extend my deepest condolences to the family of Benazir Bhutto and the people of Pakistan.

Paris: President Nicholas Sarkozy is back to the dating scenes again. That’s two months after he divorced his wife, Cecilia Sarkozy, of 11 years.
He was seen with supermodel-turned-singer Carla Bruni at the Disneyland Paris. Carla Bruni is known to have dated Mick Jagger and Donal Trump.
However, the President’s office refused to comment on the couple citing that this is their personal matters.

Isn’t this a calculated move by President Sarkozy to announce his latest love in life to the public in the fairy tale Disneyland Paris. French people should celebrate with their President who has found love in his life. This will help him take away some stress from work.
Ladies Night not unfair December 18, 2007
Posted by blogerita in : Social , add a comment
New York:Roy Den Hollander sued a few New York nightclubs including Lotus and China Clubs because he felt he was discriminated against by ladies’ nights which gave ladies free or heavility discounted admission to the nightspots.
However, according to defense lawyers for the nightclubs, men are not discriminated against by ‘ladies nights’ which is similar to ‘early bird’ or ‘kids eat free’ or discounts for senior citizens promotions.
Blogerita says:
This is purely a simple and yet effective marketing campaign to manage demands and also, influence demands. Every business school students know that demand needs to be managed and influence to optimize sales and revenue. Every nightclub operator knows that girls will attract guys, so by giving out free drinks or discounted drinks, they will bring in the guys and the sales liquor and other drinks will go up.

The fight for the English Premier League champion is way too close. The top five team have equal chance to win the League title. No one can afford to make mistakes and give away valuable points in any game they place. The team managers like Alex Ferguson, Rafael Benitez, Arsene Wenger and Sven Eriksson have to take good care of the players as any injury may cost them valuable points in the following games.
