Can The Game survive from the Big Hands of The Dead Man? Will Undertaker tear apart The Game's body?Can Triple H prove that why he is the Game?

In the Al-Hesbah website, the Al-Qaeda leaders and it supporters have urged for another terrorist attack on USA before the November election. This is because they want to see John McCain as the next USA President so they can become successful in their plans of destroying both the USA military and its economy. The Al-Qaeda leaders feel that McCain would be the person who would continue the ongoing war on Iraq and Afghanistan, and so he would be the perfect man for whom they are waiting, as McCain promised to continue the war against terrorism until the last American soldier is dead, which he stated in his presidential campaign.
This is the reason why the Al-Qaeda wants McCain to win the election and become the president, so he can keep the failed process going just like the Bush Administration, resulting in bad economy and destroyed military. They think that if a terrorist attack is made before the November election then obviously the votes will move towards McCain and people will think that he would be the right person to take revenge for this action, but the fact is, this is what the Al-Qaeda wants and this would allow and make their plan more strong and successful.
We have lost another music legend.She was one of the most noted solo singers in the 60's and 70's.She dies at 63,she is none other than Dee Dee Warwick.
Dee Dee Warwick, a noted soul singer who won recognition for both her solo work and her performances with her older sister Dionne Warwick, has died. She was 63.
Warwick died Saturday at a nursing home in Essex County, New Jersey, said family spokesman Kevin Sasaki. He said she had been in failing health in recent months and that her sister was with her when she died.
Warwick had several hits on the soul and R&B charts in the 1960s and '70s, including "Foolish Fool, "She Didn't Know (She Kept on Talking)" and a version of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" that was later covered by Diana Ross and The Supremes.
Warwick also was a two-time Grammy Award nominee and sang backup for Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and others before starting her solo career.
A member of a musical family, Warwick was the niece of noted gospel singer Cissy Houston and a cousin of pop star Whitney Houston.
Who would have thought that Barack Obama would get some hearts from the Rednecks too? But this is no more just a thought as he is getting some supports from the Redneckers as well.
This is a bit unexpected.
We're sure most people figured that John McCain and especially Sarah Palin would have the "redneck" votes locked!
But, Barack Obama is getting some hold up from the Redneckers too!
Well, at least he has the vote of two rednecks.
Les Spencer and Tony Viessman are two self-proclaimed rednecks. They explain the term as "hardworking guys who like to hunt, fish, and maybe pop a beer or two."
Spencer adds, "I hunt squirrels, too. And I like eating turtles."
Eating turtles? Unfortunate little guys!
The two retirees from Rolla, MO, make up the whole, unaffiliated "Rednecks for Obama."
The two men have even traveled, using their own money, to all the debates and even the Democratic National Convention in the hopes of convincing others that "Obama is redneck-friendly."
Viessman adds, "This election is too significant."
A retired highway patrol officer, Viessman, was even so impressed that Obama was the first presidential candidate to visit Rolla since Harry Truman, that he went out and bought a 7 by 3 foot sign to welcome him to town. Adding, "Cost me 25 bucks."
And when asked why some rednecks might not be voting for Obama, he said, "Guns. And that he's black. Sometimes change is hard for people. But I don't care if you're black or Oriental or green, if you can do the job. And he can do the job. He's pretty near the smartest guy who's ever run for president."
Spencer added, "We are just trying to tell people that you don't have to be scared of Obama. He's not going to try to take away your guns, no matter what the NRA says."
And Viessman added, "My dad used to say, 'A poor man who votes for a Republican is a fool.' "
Let's hope everyone goes out and votes for the best candidate. Your vote will make a difference!
There are a few people who think less about cholesterol and fats in their blood. But the fact is, in general our knowledge about cholesterol is very less and we are only familiar to the term and hardly know much about it.
Good cholesterol is referred to as HDL (High Density Lipoprotein), and bad cholesterol as LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein). We can easily reduce the cholesterol level in our blood by simply eating food with less fat, avoiding sweet and milk made foods, and most importantly by doing regular exercise. A good cholesterol (HDL) ensures the stoppage of fat deposits in the blood vessels of the heart, whereas bad cholesterol (LDL) gets deposited in the blood vessels of the heart and creates a block, as a result, chances of heart attack increases.
In most of the cases it is seen that the HDL amount is a bit lower in the blood, and this is normal although there is no such exceptional medicines that can increase its amount. But by doing regular exercise we can surely get rid off the bad cholesterol, so to keep the good balance, everyone should do exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.
Today she is considered as one of the hottest Diva's in the WWE, and why not? She got the look, the style, the killer body, and with her awesome look and tremendous personality, she has now become a dominant Diva in the industry.In recent times this lovely and beautiful Diva has talked about her sex life openly.
She's still relatively new, but WWE Diva is the last of the glamor girls in World Wrestling Entertainment. The ridiculously hot Playboy Cover Girl has a natural body, with none of the breast enhancements that dominated WWE Divas (Lita, Terri Runnels, Torrie Wilson, Dawn Marie) for years.
She's got a killer body, but has trained hard to become a better wrestler. While Michele McCool may reign supreme on Smackdown because of her relationship with political powerhouse The Undertaker, Maria carries on to sex up WWE shows with her astonishing look and terrific personality.
Even a relationship (which has since ended) with the politically disliked CM Punk couldn't derail Maria's career.
The native of Ottawa, Illinois has embarked on a new phase of her career by hitting the Smackdown brand after being drafted to the MyNetworkTV broadcast during this year's WWE Draft.
So now, while Monday Night Raw fans will get their Diva-fill from Beth Phoenix and Mickie James and Kelly Kelly, it's the Smackdown fans who will be able to stare at Maria's natural body being jammed into those impossibly tight outfits.
While TNA boasts Christy Hemme, perhaps the sexiest diva in all of wrestling, they have destroyed her image on their show, while WWE continues to present Maria in the sexiest, most fan-pleasing way possible.
