Sun Chips Compostable Bag
A chip bag made of plants…now that’s green. The makers of Sun Chips claim that this bag will disintegrate in 14 weeks “when placed in a hot, active compost bin or pile.” Basically, Mother Nature will take care of the bag when it arrives at the dump.
It’s a no-brainer – go green while surrendering to your munchies with Harvest Cheddar or Garden Salsa chips. One small catch…the bag is very loud. If you thought it was hard to sneak a couple chips while your friends are taking a nap, you can forget about touching this bag. However, if you have a problem with your chip bag being too loud, then you need to stop eating so many damn chips.
Tiger Woods looked good this morning at St. Andrews…
…and so did his golf game. Tiger shot a 5-under-par 67 in the opening round of the 2010 Open Championship in Scotland. That puts him in 8th place, 4 shots behind the leader, Roy McIlroy, right in the hunt for his 15th major title.
But how about John Daly? Here he is looking pretty, too…and his game was even better today. After an Open Championship win on this same course 15 years ago, Daly turned back the clock and shot a 66, in 3rd place and 3 strokes back.
And this was a picture from the opening ceremonies in Scotland of all of the past Open champions. Classic JD.
Richard Hennessy Cognac / Baccarat Crystal £1,420.00
Hennessy “The top end in the permanent Hennessy range, this is named after former mercenary Richard Hennessy, an Irish aristo who founded his Cognac house in 1765 on land granted by a grateful Louis XV of France.
Richard Hennessy, a blend of the Grands Siecles, is a unique assemblage of over 100 eaux-de-vie matured to their fullest. The oldest of these are extremely rare.
Some had been selected in the early 19th century then nurtured by the ancestors of Yann Fillioux, 7th generation of Master Blenders from the same family, who today blends Richard Hennessy cognac.
Richard Hennessy cognac draws on some two hundred years of knowledge, talent, expertise and passion. This dynastic tradition of selecting, ageing and blending eaux-de-vie is without equal in Cognac. With this exceptional blend, Yann Fillioux pays a tribute to Richard Hennessy, the founder of the house of Hennessy.” (http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/selection/richard_hennessy_cognac.aspx)

Um..Bugatti Veyron, I’ll take two!
Bugatti “With its luxurious length of 4.47 m, the Veyron is a perfectly balanced combination of high-powered performance and sleek, racy design.
Even at complete standstill, the car’s enormous power is made visible by its impressive mid-engine, elevated majestically beneath the chassis. Simultaneously, the Veyron’s bold proportions, well-balanced surfaces, and clear line structures give an impression of pure, sleek elegance.
The design of the Veyron honors a great heritage without drifting off into retro style. Every detail of the classic two-tone color scheme, a quote from the 1920s and 1930s, has been carefully thought out, resulting in the typical Bugatti profile with the classic, contrasting ellipsis – the stylistic element used by Ettore Bugatti himself. The “crest line”, which runs uninterrupted from the hood to the only 1.21-m-high roof, is a proud homage to the Veyron’s forebears. Thus, the Veyron’s classic pa
intwork and harmonious design connect this state-of-the-art super sports car to the glorious heritage of Bugatti automobiles.
With its classic look, the large radiator grill – adorned with the hand-enameled Bugatti emblem – represents the grandness of the Veyron. The sports car’s distinctive front is defined by the harmonious contrast of its broad headlights and majestic grill. The rear end, 1.99 m wide, features the formidable retractable spoiler and generously designed fenders. The Veyron perfectly fulfills the main design objective governing the development of the new Bugatti: an uncompromising combination of highest elegance and state-of-the-art technology.
Most of the components tucked beneath its hood are ingenious innovations that were formerly only deemed possible by visionaries like Ferdinand Piëch.
Boasting a maximum speed of more than 400 km per hour, the Veyron is unmatched in the super sports category. It offers a total of 1,001 HP, and its ample power reserves even at high speeds are the fabric of dreams for luxury-class limousines: for a constant speed 
of 250 km/h, the Veyron only needs 270-280 HP. This means that the seven-gear clutch transmission works with a torque of up to 1,250 Newton meters. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) ensures the necessary flexibility and maneuverability at any speed. The Veyron reaches velocities that would literally lift the car off the ground – if it weren’t for its ingenious aerodynamics, which keeps it firmly on the road even at full speed. Adjusting the back spoiler, reducing ground clearance, opening and closing the lids – it all adds to the perfect balance between propulsion and downforce. Such a super sports car may not seem to be brought to a halt easily, but the Veyron’s ceramic brakes slow it down faster than it can accelerate. While it takes this exceptional car only 2.5 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h, it needs even less time – a mere 2.3 seconds – to come to a standstill from 100 (reference point). To reduce the risk of injuries in accidents, Bugatti had a Formula 1 safety concept adapted for the Veyron. All these technical details combine to make the Veyron a truly exceptional super sports car.

Dan Gilbert has lost his bitter mind.
With LeBron James telling the world that he is leaving his home town for South Beach and the Miami Heat, the reaction from Cleveland Cavalier’s owner, Dan Gilbert, is one for the ages. It sounds like Gilbert expected LeBron to not only stay, but to be in Cleveland for the rest of his career. I suppose I can understand his frustration, being that his NBA franchise will stand to lose around $150 million in value, in a matter of years…and the fact he found out about LeBron’s fate just like the rest of us – on ESPN’s hour long program, “The Decision,” however, it’s the guarantee Gilbert makes in Cleveland’s Plain Dealer that has me thinking he has officially lost his mind. Enjoy.
Dear Cleveland,
All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight.
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his “decision” unlike anything ever “witnessed” in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us. The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.
You simply don’t deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal. You have given so much and deserve so much more. In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:
“I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE”
You can take it to the bank.
If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our “motivation” to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.
Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there. Sorry, but that’s simply not how it works.
This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown “chosen one” sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And “who” we would want them to grow-up to become.
But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called “curse” on Cleveland, Ohio. The self-declared former “King” will be taking the “curse” with him down south. And until he does “right” by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma. Just watch.
Sleep well, Cleveland. Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day….
I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:
DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue….
Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers
I’m shocked that a professional owner of his caliber would lash out at, not only the biggest superstar he’s ever had in his organization, but an individual that has increased his net worth by 9 figures in 7 years.
Dan Gilbert is 48 years old. LeBron James is 25 years old. I’m embarrassed for Gilbert.
Dan, I would like to make a guarantee to you – THE CAVS WILL NEVER WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP AS LONG AS YOU ARE A PART OF THEIR ORGANIZATION.
Who, in their right mind, is going to want to be a part of your team with you acting like this? You don’t think NBA players see how you’ve, now, treated the best player in the world? You don’t think agents and advisers of NBA players see how you’ve tried to embarrass the player that gave his blood, sweat and tears to your organization for the past 7 years? You should be ashamed of yourself and you’ve only screwed Cleveland over for the next 10 years. No NBA free agent is going to want to play under you. It’s a small fraternity, players share agents, and people talk – you’ve blacklisted yourself and your organization. Congratulations.
Dan, you didn’t give LeBron an opportunity that 29 other teams didn’t want to give him! Quit acting like he you did him a favor. Granted, LeBron should have called you before he made his decision on ESPN, but if you want to talk loyalty – How loyal were you to your former coach, Mike Brown, who was 2008-09 NBA Coach of the year AND lead your team to the best record in the NBA the past two years?
Exactly which “bank” would allow you to deposit such a stupid and irresponsible guarantee of the Cavs winning a Championship before Lebron, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh’s Heat? I know – the same “bank” that allowed the unemployed to purchase real estate 6 years ago… Oh wait, those banks are closed. Good luck, Dan.

Buy some new shoes, Boy.
Why don’t people wear cool shoes anymore? It’s really not that hard and it’s really not that expensive. Be different, stand out and express yourself.
It takes 10 minutes, costs a total of $31.93, and would be at your doorstep in 3-6 business days.
What’s your excuse now? I got the last 14, sorry.
Or perhaps you like them in white, whatever.
Maserati
Maserati “The design of the new Quattroporte Sport GT S puts the accent very much on sport, but it does this without compromising the style and elegance that has always been a feature of Maserati’s flagship model.
The designers at Pininfarina have succeeded in their aim of giving the car a sportier edge while leaving the overall look intact. The new grille is the most obvious change on the outside, with vertical slats that echo the GranTurismo while its opaque black finish maintains the original styling cues.
The deep-set grille is fitted to the front bumper, flanked by fog lights and air intakes that have been enlarged for 2009 Quattroportes. The combination of the reworked bumper and the new grille gives the front end of the car an immediate visual impact.
The front light cluster features a titanium finish for the more aggressive Quattroporte Sport GT S.
A lowered suspension, by 10 mm at the front and 25 mm at the rear, gives the Sport GT S a tenser look. The car appears poised on the starting blocks, ready for action with its racier set-up hinting at the powerful engine. The car speaks of speed even when it is not on the move.
The Quattroporte Sport GT S comes with two new types of 20″ wheel rim: Multi Trident rims in light aluminum alloy as optional or seven-spoke light alloy rims that have undergone the ‘Dark Chrome’ treatment.
At the rear, oval tailpipes, shared with the GranTurismo S, distinguish the Sport GT S model from other Quattroporte.”

Favorite Quotes – Dan LeBatard on Ricky Williams
Dan LeBatard, a Miami-based sportswriter/radio host, is an incredible journalist and sometimes controversial character. He was interviewed by an award winning filmmaker, Sean Pamphilon, who has produced a documentary for ESPN films’ 30 for 30, about NFL star Ricky Williams, called Run Ricky Run. For those of you that don’t know, Ricky Williams abruptly quit playing football amidst multiple failed drug tests in 2004, to living in a tent in Australia, to attending a school for modern medicine, to teaching yoga, to seeking anonymity in a small town in California, only to resurface in the NFL to continue a successful football career.
LeBatard has covered Williams in the Miami Herald since his arrival to the Miami Dolphins, so much so that they are considered to be friends. His credibility has been proven by offering unique insight into Williams’ upbringing and mind. His candid thoughts and comments about Williams provide some of the funniest comments in this documentary, but it’s this quote by LeBatard that struck me to pause my DVR and reflect on human nature, life, and American society.
“He threw away all the things that we value – money and cheering and celebrities…and I still don’t know as I sit here talking to you…whether this is a product of him being bipolar or mentally ill…or it’s a product of him being the only sane person out there…and the rest of us worshiping all the wrong things.”
Chew on that.
iPhone 4
Apple.com “While everyone else was busy trying to keep up with iPhone, Apple was busy creating amazing new features that make iPhone more powerful, easier to use, and more indispensable than ever. The result is iPhone 4. The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone.
People have been dreaming about video calling for decades. iPhone 4 makes it a reality. With just a tap, you can wave hello to your kids, share a smile from across the globe, or watch your best friend laugh at your stories — iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 over Wi-Fi. And it works right out of the box. No other phone makes staying in touch this much fun.
The Retina display on iPhone 4 is the sharpest, most vibrant, highest-resolution phone screen ever, with four times the pixel count of previous iPhone models. In fact, the pixel density is so high that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Which makes text amazingly crisp and images stunningly sharp.”
