President of the alumni association, Toni Donovan, says the funds are being raised to pay for the costs incurred by mechanising the stage curtains that will come to about $10,000.00

Riders start in the high school parking lot where they will draw the first card in a poker hand. Riders then go on to McKinney Honda in Ruston where they draw their 2nd card, then to Booker’s Gas Station in Marion to collect their 3rd card. The 4th card will be collected from the Fifties Diner in Farmerville and then back to the high school for their final card. The rider with the best hand will win a cash prize.

The best time does not mean winning with this ‘Run’. At the end of the day the winner will be the participant with the best hand. The run is not a race and the intention is for everyone to have fun and take the time to enjoy themselves.

Terminators - they travel light

Police found the 19-year-old wandering naked through a casino on the Nevada border and managed to subdue the culprit using not liquid nitrogen (as seen in T2) but garden-variety Tasers.

He was first spotted wandering across a highway, completely naked, by motorists who alerted the police.

Smith truly believed he was a character in the Arnold Schwarznegger  sci-fiction film franchise, but police believe he was merely delusional after taking too many drugs.

His arrest took place in front of a group of children (although what THEY were doing inside a casino is another question all together…).

Who knows, perhaps the Terminator was just trying to place a bet on roulette to buy back his clothes and return to the future?

Tiger Woods is still all over the net and this blog is no exception. The focus of this blog entry is not really about him or his ever increasing tally of ladies, this blog entry is about how it seems it is in many humans’ nature to bet…on anything…and everything. Bookies, gamblers and Wall Street traders are all placing their bets on various bets centered around the Tiger Woods scandal(s):

‘Binge-drinking punters in the UK will bet on anything. If you don’t know, the lines have been set for…Tiger Woods Divorce Settlement Odds. You can also wager on which sponsor will drop Tiger next.’(Business Insider)

Punters at Ireland’s popular site PaddyPower.com have set the line at $500 million for how much Tiger will ultimately pay out to Elin.

Apparently Wall Street traders have also been betting on how many Tiger ladies are going to come out.
