What if you are only 29 years old and recieving minimum wage but you have 21 kids to support? Well, ask Desmond Hachett, the 21 year old guy from Tennessee. Here's the story about him:
Hatchett says he wasn’t out to set a record. He says he never intended to have this many children, “It just happened.” He fathered the children by at least 11 different women and he claims all of the mothers knew about his large family. The children range in age from newborn to 11 years old.
The question Knox County officials now face is how to support all these children. Hatchett works a minimum wage job and by law the state can only take 50% of his paycheck for child support. By the time that money is split 21 ways, some of the mothers get less than $2 per month. That leaves the taxpayers footing a large portion of the bill for these children.
Even though Hatchett can’t support the children he has, there is nothing the state can do to prevent him from having more. Hatchett reports that he had 4 children in one year, twice. He says he’s done having children now, but only time will tell. He does say that he’s a good father and knows the names, ages, and birthdates of all of his children.
All of the blame can’t be placed on Hatchett in this case. One has to wonder about the women who chose to have his children. In the end, the children and the taxpayers of Tennessee will pay for their choices for years to come.
All I can say is EWWWWW!!!

Lyoto Machida defeats Rashad Evans via TKO (Strikes) Round 2

Krzysztof Soszynski defeats Andre Gusmao via technical knockout (strikes) in round one
Yoshiyuki Yoshida defeats Brandon Wolff via submission (guillotine choke) in round one
George Roop defeats Dave Kaplan via split decision
Here's UFC 98 fight card and predictions from NewsDay:
Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida: UFC light heavyweight championship
Tough call here. Both are undefeated and have looked dominant in recent fights. Machida (14-0) is a 2-1 favorite and that just doesn't look right. So we're taking the 18-0-1 Evans to successfully defend his title.
The prediction: Evans by knockout in the 3rd round.
Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra
Serra (16-5) has been talking plenty of trash in the build up to this welterweight grudge match. Hughes (43-7) has kept up his end of the bargain, and it's refreshing to see two fighters genuinely dislike each other and speak freely about it. Ordinarily, I'd favor the guy who talks less, just on principle. But Serra is an Italian guy from Long Island and since I too am an Italian guy from Long Island, I have to stick with my roots. P.S. Hughes hasn't fought in a year and hasn't won a fight in more than two years. Same goes for Serra.
The prediction: Serra by submission in third round.
Drew McFedries vs. Xavier Foupa-Pokam
Foupa-Pokam (20-10) caught a beating from middleweight Denis Kang a month ago at UFC 97, and I'm guessing he's not fully ready to fight again. At least not at a high-enough level to win.
The prediction: McFedries (7-5) by TKO in the second round.
Dan Miller vs. Chael Sonnen
Welterweight Sonnen (23-10-1) has four losses in the UFC, all by submission. Miller (11-1) is 3-0 in the UFC, with two wins by submission. Jiu-jitsu and wrestling are two of Miller's strengths and Sonnen seems susceptible to getting submitted.
The prediction: Miller by submission in 1st round.
Sean Sherk vs. Frankie Edgar
Edgar (9-1) has gone the distance in his last three fights, and I'll say the streak continues against lightweight Sherk (37-3-1).
The prediction: Edgar by unanimous decision.
Brock Larson vs. Chris Wilson
Larson (26-2), a former WEC force at welterweight, wants to attack Wilson (13-6). I'll say he does just that, along with whatever else he wants to do in the Octagon.
The prediction: Larson by knockout in the first round.
Pat Barry vs. Tim Hague
Hague (9-1) makes his UFC debut. That's an instant bet-against, especially when it's a fight that "May not be broadcast." Barry is a big hitter who won with ease at UFC 92.
The prediction: Barry by TKO in second round.
Phillipe Nover vs. Kyle Bradley
Nover(6-1-1) seems to be more focused and determined now that he's not headlining the event, as he did in December with the "TUF" 8 finale. Can Nover channel some of the Filipino energy Manny Pacquiao injected Las Vegas with a few weeks ago? Bradley (13-6) appears to be the bigger lightweight here, but that might not be enough.
The prediction: Nover wins by decision.
Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Andre Gusmao
I picked against "The Polish Experiment" in UFC 97 because I didn't want to have to remember how to spell "Soszynski" on deadline. Well, he submitted Brian Stann in the first round, and the short turnaround between fights here shouldn't matter since Soszynski didn't expend too much energy or take too much punishment. Could Gusmao (5-1) suffer the same fate?
The prediction: Yep. Soszynski wins via submission in the 2nd round.
Yoshiyuki Yoshida vs. Brandon Wolff
Last time we saw Yoshida (10-3), he was busying getting his face flattened by Josh Koscheck at UFC Fight for the Troops. Of course, Wolff (7-3) also got TKO'd that night, so this is basically the loser's bracket match.
The prediction: Wolff via decision.
Dave Kaplan vs. George Roop
Kaplan (3-2) lost to Junie Browning in The Ultimate Fighter finale. I don't even care what skills Roop (8-5) has or doesn't have, I'm picking him to win this fight. I won't even read his bio until after he wins.
The prediction: Roop wins by submission in first round.

Lyrics:
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by.
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky guy."
To have a girl like her
is truly a dream come true.
Out of all of the fellas in the world
she belongs to me
But it was just my imagination
running away with me
It was just my imagination
running away with me
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hooh
Every night, on my knees I pray,
Dear Lord, hear my plead...
don't ever let another take her love from me
or I will surely die..
Ooh, her love is heavenly;
when her arms enfold me,
I hear a tender rhapsody...
but in reality, she doesn't even know me
Just my imagination -- once again --
running away with me.
Tell you it was just my imagination
running away with me.
I never met her, but I can't forget her.
Just my imagination..
-- ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah --
running away with me

Aldara cream is now a hot topic on the web because people think that it can protect them from sexually transmitted diseases. This is a misconception which is probably caused by the fact that aldara can treat actinic keratosis, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and external genital warts. If it can treat genital warts, it doesn't mean that it can prevent STDs.
I am not really inot zombie movies, for me they are all the same and it's really bores me to see dead people chasing those who are living and killing them. But there's now an exception to the rule, one very very low budget zombie film: Colin. This film is the first zombie movie told in the point of view of the zombie. That's something new. Another thing that makes this movie amazing is the fact that it only took $70 to make it. Marc Price, the director just looked for volunteers to act as zombies. He used the power of social networks like Facebook to get actors for free. The $70 was used to buy a crowbar that was used as aprop in the film. The rest of the $70 was used to buy snacks for the volunteers.

I know it, you've just watched Willie’s Chocolate Revolution on TV and it suddenly occurred to you that you want to make your own chocolate soufflé, so here I am, sharing with you a simple Chocolate Souffle recipe I've got from RealEpicurean:
Easy Chocolate Soufflé Recipe - Ingredients
Serves 4
100g good quality dark chocolate (I used Lindt Excellence 50% Cocoa solids)
50g Golden Caster Sugar
4 Egg Whites
2 Egg Yolks
Butter
Single Cream, optional
Easy Chocolate Soufflé Recipe - Method
Pre-heat your oven to 150 degrees c, and rub the inside of 4 ramekins with butter. Set to one side.
Place your chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pot of heating water. This will allow your chocolate to melt without burning; stir it to help the process along.
Whisk the egg whites in a bowl. If you’re using an electric whisk (as I did) then start off slowly, speeding up once the eggs start to thicken - at this stage you should also start to slowly pour in the sugar while whisking. Stop once the eggs form a glossy, thick mix which forms fairly stiff peaks (they do not wilt when you stop whisking).
By this time your chocolate should be melted; take it off the heat and mix in your egg yolks, then stir in one spoon of your egg white mix.
Take your chocolate mix and add it to your egg whites. Fold until combined but do not stir fast or over-stir - this will beat the air out of the mix.
Spoon into your ramekins and smooth the edges with your thumb (this helps them rise evenly).
Put the ramekins straight onto your shelf for 25 minutes. Don’t open while they’re cooking or they’ll collapse.
Some people think that they can dance, see how they fare here :P
The Daytona International Speedway has turned into a river as heavy rains pour like crazy on Daytona beach. Here's a news article about it from OrlandoSentinel.com:
Heavy rains in Daytona Beach have doused Daytona International Speedway. The track's infield tunnels are filled with water and several feet of water have flooded the track. It's like a two and a half mile river in the shape of a tri-oval, halfway up the SAFER barrier.
DIS spokesman Andrew Booth said there's no serious damage to the track. All its buildings are safe.
"No damage to our grandstands or any buildings or anything like that," Booth said.
Booth said the track would be fine for July's Coke Zero 400 and that the damage and flooding to residential areas around Volusia and Flagler counties are much more significant than what's happened at the Speedway. For that reason, Booth said the speedway would not release photos.
This is interesting. This is a film by Alex Jones. Hmmmmnnn...
Jeremy Clarkson has a review about Honda Insight that has become somewhat controvertial, for one, he calls Honda's hybrid car "Biblically terrible". Actually, the whole paragraph about how terrible this car is goes like this:
It’s terrible. Biblically terrible. Possibly the worst new car money can buy. It’s the first car I’ve ever considered crashing into a tree, on purpose, so I didn’t have to drive it any more.
If you read Clarkson's complete review of Honda Insight at Times Online, you'll wonder why he so hate the car.
I have just read a heart-breaking article about a mother who killed her own three year old son. What caused a mother to do it? The name of the woman charged with murdering her son is Tiffany Toribio. Here's the news article about her from amw.com:
Cops Say Mother Strangled Son, Then Fled
Nearly a week after unearthing a little boy buried beneath an Albuquerque, N.M. playground, police made an arrest in the case.
On May 21, 2009, Albuquerque Police arrested Tiffany Toribio and charged her with an open count of murder in the death of her son, as well as child abuse resulting in death.
Police say that just a few days prior, Toribio strangled her 3-year-old son Ty in the middle of the night, then buried him beneath a swing set.
The investigation started on May 15, 2009, when another child playing on the swing set, discovered Ty's tiny shoe, which eventually led to his body.
At the time, police had no idea who the boy was because no one had reported him missing. Detectives and residents living near the park made a plea to the public for clues as to who the boy whom they named "Baby Justice" could be.
Detectives say shortly after the discovery, they began to receive tips from people who told them that Toribio and her little boy had recently been kicked out of their house and had been staying with friends.
However, tipsters also told police that in more recent days, Toribio had been seen without her son Ty by her side.
The investigation finally led cops to a bus stop where they located Toribio.
Initially, she tried to conceal her identity and even tried to lie about Ty's whereabouts, but police say she finally broke down and told them a heart-breaking story.
According to police, she told them that after getting kicked out of her home, she began to stay with her friends. But eventually, they refused to give her shelter and so she decided to take refuge at a park.
Then, on May 15 at approximately 1 a.m., cops say she told them she decided to kill her son with her bare hands.
She said that she put her hands over his nose and mouth to stop him from breathing. According to investigators, halfway through the act, she had a change of heart and instead began to perform CPR.
Although her resuscitation efforts were successful, she then changed her mind a for second time and allegedly went through with the strangulation.
