Tiger Woods was a busy guy

Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren briefly pose for a photoshop moment as the blond bombshell moves out of the marital home after being shell-shocked by serial accounts that Mr. Woods may have given as many as nine private golf lessons as to how to use his putter with a casting call for a reality TV show. – Artist-Photographer unknown – probably in hiding… Larger: http://twitpic.com/srqr0

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2009/12/tiger-woods-was-busy-guy.html

By Kevin Dayhoff December 8, 2009

It appears that golfing great Tiger Woods may have been a busy guy in recent years. According to an article by Sophie Tedmanson in the Times (UK,) “More woes for Tiger Woods as his wife Elin Nordegren moves out” - Larger: http://twitpic.com/srrlz

“[I]t is alleged, “Woods, 33, has been linked to up to nine women - including a British television presenter – since it was first reported he crashed his Cadillac into a fire hydrant outside his home on November 27 after reportedly arguing with his wife.”

“Apparently, the only person who can beat Tiger Woods with a golf club is his wife.” (There’s more from where that one came from – go here: http://tinyurl.com/yhgeaq8.)

The latest revelations begs the question, when did he ever have time to play golf?

Ms. Tedmanson writes, “Days after the crash Woods was linked to a New York night clubber, other women – including a Las Vegas party girl and a Florida waitress - began to come forward, selling their stories to tabloids with tales of trysts with Woods….”

Is this nuts or what. Have you seen pictures of his wife? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. What could have he possibly been thinking? Or was his putter doing the thinking for him?

According to a December 7 article in the Times (UK) by Jacqui Goddard, “Best man speech could draw Tiger Woods out of hiding”:

“… [T]he golf champion [is alleged to have had] trysts with Rachel Uchitel, a New York nightclub hostess, including flying her to Melbourne for a secret rendezvous with Woods during the Australian Masters last month…

“Holly Sampson, a porn star, today became the seventh woman named as having had an affair with Woods, who has been married to Elin Nordegren, a Swedish model, since 2004.”

Perhaps that explains the mysteries behind his car crash into a tree and a fire hydrant in the wee hours of the morning of November 27, 2009 – The man was delirious with exhaustion.

“Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. He couldn’t decide between a wood and an iron." ibid)

Of course, having a five-iron stuck up his behind did not help to improve his driving ability at the time.

Larger: http://twitpic.com/srr0c

Meanwhile the Boston Herald’s “Inside Track” – “‘SNL’ battered over spoof of Tiger Woods spat” - is reporting that “Anti-domestic violence advocates beat up on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” yesterday for a skit poking fun at reports that Tiger Woods was hit with a golf club by his enraged wife, Elin Nordegren.

“‘There’s nothing funny about this story, particularly if violence was part of the events that took place,’ said Rita Smith, president of the National Coalition for Domestic Violence . ‘It diminishes people’s support for victims of domestic violence.’

“Woods, who has been accused of 10 extramarital affairs in the wake of a car crash outside his Florida home Thanksgiving weekend, was skewered in the skit that featured ‘SNL’ regular Kenan Thompson, playing the golf great, and guest host Blake Lively as his angry Swedish wife.”

Whatever, I hardly ever watch Saturday Night Live and find very little about the otherwise popular late-night TV program to be funny.

But you know – the whole sad saga of Mr. Woods' fall from grace by his own Shakespearean personality defect just really isn’t funny. It is not even just sad – it is a disappointment. It is disillusioning - it’s pathetic and probably a sign of pathology.

Is it more important than the rate of unemployment, the economy or the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? No.

Do I care? Nope.

However, looking at the bigger picture, the gentleman has a social contract with his fans, especially the younger fans, to live-up to his public persona and be the person with the integrity to be a pitchman for various products.

And just as important, what about his responsibilities to the game of golf. He has been the gold standard for the sport. In his star capacity, he has attracted many young players – and viewers – to the game. This cannot be good for golf.

In another Boston Herald piece; this time by Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa, “Face it, Web full of Tiger Woods’ bad lies,” they introduce Mr. Woods:

“Just two months ago, fairway philanderer Tiger Woods told his loyal Facebook friends that he and bride Elin are basically a ‘boring’ couple, a pair of homebodies who like to hang on the couch, watch TV and play video games.

“Ummmm, might be time to update the old profile, Tiger.

“‘I think Elin and I have avoided a lot of media attention because we’re kind of boring,’ wrote the world’s greatest golfer, who is now accused of a string of tawdry liaisons with - among others - a porn star, a cocktail waitress, a Vegas club hostess and waitress in a pancake house.”

Ouch!

It will only get worse. Perhaps the next shoe to drop will be folks selling the tabloids pictures of Mr. Woods in compromising positions in an unflattering context?

Meanwhile, one may only imagine how many more women will come forward alleging to have played with Mr. Woods in the sand trap. (Porn star Joslyn James brings the number of women linked to Tiger Woods to 11 FOXNews; Meet porn star Joslyn James or 'Tiger Woods' alleged mistress No. 'This is so ...)

And one wonders how many of his sponsors will keep him on: Gatorade ends Tiger-themed drinks, says move preplanned USA Today - Michael McCarthy - ‎1 hour ago‎ AP By Michael mccarthy, USA TODAY The first dent in Tiger Woods' gold-plated endorsement portfolio appeared Tuesday as Gatorade said it was dropping its ...; Tiger Woods: Below-par sales doom Gatorade's Tiger Focus Chicago Tribune; Gatorade drops Tiger Woods product FOXNews; Tiger Woods ads disappear from airwaves Boston Herald; and the Wall Street Journal (blog)

As far as his marriage; according to Ms. Goddard:

“The couple are believed to be talking with lawyers over the future of their marriage, after Ms Nordegren discovered that he had been cheating on her and allegedly chased him from the house brandishing a golf club - a confrontation that ended with Woods crashing his Cadillac Escalade into a tree at 2.25am on November 27.”

In the latest installment of this Kabuki theatre morals drama from hell it appears that the sporting magazine “Golf Digest” believes that Mr. Woods ought to embark on yet another tour – a speaking tour about how to multi-task one’s career and marriage; all the while becoming one of golfing’s greats...

Golf Digest has featured Mr. Woods in its upcoming January 2010 edition with a cover headline, “10 Tips Obama can take from Tiger.” Larger: http://twitpic.com/srs5w

At this point, we certainly hope the president is not taking any advice from Mr. Woods because once First Lady Michelle Obama finished with him, having a car crash at 2:25 am would be the least of President Obama’s worries and our great nation would probably be looking forward to how President Joe Biden would solve our nation’s woes.

Ms. Goddard calls to our attention: “The episode has left Woods’s image as a clean-living sports icon in tatters - lending irony to the front cover of Golf Digest magazine’s January issue, which went to press before the sex scandal broke.

“The magazine features a mocked-up picture of Woods acting as caddie to President Obama, to illustrate an article headlined ‘10 Tips Obama can take from Tiger’. The feature, now causing some embarrassment at Golf Digest, suggests that the President, struggling to turn around a recession, could learn the art of ‘the quick recovery’ from the famously adept golfer.”

“‘Woods is a good role model...because he has always been able to pull himself together after setbacks,’ it notes, also observing:

“‘Woods never does anything that would make himself look ridiculous.’”

The Kinks – Lola

Released in the United States at the end of June in 1970.

Several published accounts refer to “The Kinks: The Official Biography,” in which Ray Davies explains that the inspiration for the song was an incident in which the band’s manager, Robert Wace, had spent the night with a transvestite. (Bummer dude.)

“I remembered an incident in a club... in his apartment Robert Wace had been dancing with this black woman, and he said, ‘I’m really on to a thing here.’ And it was okay until we left at six in the morning and then I said, ‘Have you seen the stubble?’ He said ‘Yeah,’ but he was too pissed (intoxicated) to care, I think.”

Yet another reason to not drink upon such occasions…

I once wrote a short story about a transvestite I ran across at the old “Whistle Stop” grocery store in Patapsco, Carroll County, Maryland. At the time it was owned by then-Westminster Mayor Leroy Conaway.

It was a scream.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRopmfinsWk

I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
C-o-l-a cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola
L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is lola
Lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola

Marry an ag engineer for best chance of avoiding divorce

Those who are wishing to read the tea-leaves and gain some analysis as to whom to marry for the best chances of matrimonial bliss.

An article in the Telegraph, 'Marry an agricultural engineer for best chance of avoiding the divorce courts,' highlights the results of a study which indicates “Vets, agricultural engineers and teachers are all less likely to divorce than dancers, bartenders and nurses, according to research which claims your job is key to a happy marriage.”

The study does not mention the chances of breaking-up with an artist or a writer. Of course, I am sure that is probably because we are such stable folks.

According to the article: “Those who work in the caring professions or who have jobs that are extrovert and stressful are more likely to split from their partner.

“Dancers, choreographers, massage therapists and bartenders have around a 40 per cent chance of experiencing a relationship breakdown. But also at high risk are nurses, psychiatrists and those who help the elderly and disabled.

“However, optometrists, dentists, clergymen and podiatrists are all in occupations which carry a 2 to 7 per cent chance of family breakdown.

“Agricultural engineers were the most faithful of all, with their relationships suffering a breakdown rate of less than 2 per cent.

“The trend has been highlighted in a paper that correlates occupations with divorce and separation rates, to be published in the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology.”

Forbes notes that 99% of IMA‟s total expenses are devoted to charitable services. In addition, 100% of IMA‟s fundraising expenses are used to raise money and supplies for recipients.

“Especially in these difficult economic times, donors expect every dollar to be put to good use,” said Richard Santos, President and CEO of IMA. “Efficient management has been a central part of the „IMA Way‟ for nearly 50 years. We put significant effort into leveraging each dollar.”

Since it was founded in 1960, IMA has been supporting the provision of medicines and supplies, disease control, essential healthcare services and bolstering healthcare systems in developing nations. An example of IMA‟s efficient delivery of supplies and expertise to those in need is its Safe Motherhood Kit. For only $25, donors can provide a mother and her baby in the developing world with the clean and sterile supplies, clothes for a newborn, and education she needs to ensure safe childbirth.

Others have recognized IMA‟s efficiency as well. IMA has received the highest possible efficiency rating from the recognized charity watchdog group Charity Navigator for five consecutive years.

Working efficiently has enabled IMA to expand its scope and reach in post-conflict situations, where the need is often most acute. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), IMA helps bring primary healthcare to roughly 10 million people, in the process building that country’s capacity to sustain that care. IMA is also participating in the effort to prepare war-torn Southern Sudan for independence through the creation of a basic healthcare system in the two largest states.

“IMA increasingly focuses on developing entire health care systems in places where they have been damaged, destroyed or never existed,” added Santos. “Our internal efficiencies are a major benefit as we assist others in establishing effective and sustainable systems focused on helping vulnerable people who truly need basic medical care.”

Ice Cream Diaries: For the Fear of Campo

Ice Cream Diaries: For the Fear of Campo

Bryan Nuckles, Staff Reporter The McDaniel Free Press December 1, 2009

What is the deal with Campo? As far as I can tell they’re pretty nice people. Just the other week I got locked out of my room, with roommate nowhere to be found and no sign of his returning soon. So I played my get-out-of-jail-free card and called Campo. Now just to be clear I was terrified of the officers that walk around campus. In fact I had my friend call for me because I was afraid of what they would say. Or worse, charge me for the trouble.

Here’s the amazing thing though. The guy was actually really nice.

He was kind of …
