Shark and son doing it tough
Kent Jones had six birdies en route to a six-under 66 at Pebble Beach which gave him a one-stroke lead over fellow Americans John Mallinger, Roland Thatcher and Brad Adamonis. Of the other Australians Matt Jones (70), Mathew Goggin (71) and Michael Sim (72) also fared well while previously in-form veteran Steve Elkington did even worse than Norman with a 78 after playing the front nine at Poppy Hills in seven over. Norman is playing the tournament in a rare return to the tour at the prompting of his two-handicapper son Gregory, 22, for whom he managed to secure a start in the amateur section. He was holding steady until a four-putt on the 13th hole for a double bogey and finished the round with a disappointing total of 34 putts. The Norman team combined for a 70 to be well back in the pro-am team section where 63 was the leading score.

What everyone really wants: an attractive mate
Whereas a man can see a peasant wench, but he can make her his WIFE due to her Beauty. (not just looks).
Men don't usually go after High Social Status women. Why? They are often difficult unpleasant people, that's why. They are not loving and nurturing.
Also, women can get attracted at first to some male 'model' but when they find out he is a weak-coward, they lose all attraction.
Its Sociobiology folks, when it comes to what counts, not just the superficial impulse.
Women are attracted to POWER, men to BEAUTY. (generally).

Giggs hits ton as Derby counts cost
In the end victory was comfortable enough and now United goes to Rome on Wednesday for a Champions League match against Roma with the group already won. Ferguson will use several fringe players for that match. All is well in the United camp, while Jewell looks at his squad and faces the challenge with openness. "Anything we might have got here would have been a bonus, ie, a corner," he said with a smile. "We kept going here. We didn't throw in the towel but what hurts is that we are making too many wrong decisions in defence." He probably wishes time and points could be bought in the January transfer window because that is what Derby needs more than anything. For United the quest to retain the Premier League title it won last season goes on.
Natalee Holloway's mother: Secret footage proves Dutch student not ...
Ther were several very mature 18 year old in boot-camp, and thank God for them. We all grow at our own pace and good parents realize this pace and account for it. So some 18 year olds need a little space and others need a little TLC. It's a tough choice but good parents try to give what is needed not what they think should be needed. .
Iowans! Heed the Undernews!
You obviously don't want to pick someone the GOPs might blow out of the water in late August, right after he or she gets the nomination. If you read this blog you know I think John Edwards is facing an unaddressed (or insufficiently addressed) potential scandal in the person of Rielle Hunter, about whom the National Enquirer has made some sensational allegations and about whom the Edwards camp has behaved very strangely. (Relevant denials included in the second Enquirer link.) I'm not worried that this scandal will surface in August after the convention. I think the scandal will surface in a matter of days or weeks should Edwards win in Iowa. Right now the MSM is giving him a pass because--hey, why bring it up and hurt his wife if he's going to lose anyway. Because he's gotten a pass, Edwards has had weeks to figure out the best way to defuse any press coverage--or, if any of the accusations prove to be accurate, how to play them, The worry, then, is that Edwards might stave off a scandal effectively enough to get the nomination from the sympathetic party faithful, but be a far weaker general election candidate for it.
