Sandrama Lamy, 33, of Danbury, was charged with sexual assault and breach of peace in the weekend incident. She was released on a promise to appear in court on Jan. 3. She must have practiced or something. Perched on the guy's lap, holding your crutches, and still managing to find just the right spot to covertly cop a feel? That's talent.

Food will become very delicious if soy sauce is poured instantly. Fly in dining out! It is mortal work Kikko-panch! "fried egg ... soy sauce is best." Show me Show you Kikkoman... It came from the star of a soybean. ...is it possible some of you haven't seen the video? By fnord12 | December 13, 2007, 11:07 AM | Ummm...

It started before Thanksgiving with two glass ornaments -- a shiny red ball about the size of a cantaloupe and a smaller red oblong with gold glitter swirls -- tied to branches of two large pines. They were easily visible to motorists blasting down the southbound lanes on a stretch of highway in the Pinelands where there are no nearby houses. Then more decorations popped up. One week it was a glitter-enhanced green ball the same size as the original red one. Next came a smaller gourd-shaped ornament with red and gold glitter. After that, a smaller red ball with white glitter snowflakes appeared. This Monday, a large silver bell appeared on a tree on the other side of the road. On Tuesday, it was a burgundy apple-shaped ornament about the size of a medium pumpkin. "Somebody has a lot of holiday spirit, which is great, but a lot of spare time at night, which is not so great," said Joseph Orlando, a spokesman for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which operates the parkway. There are no notes or any other indications of who is responsible for the roadside ornaments. "It's a mystery to us," said State Police Capt. Al Della Fave. Orlando wondered if the phantom decorator could be some frustrated husband whose wife won't let him cover the house with any more lights or ornaments. "This is probably some guy whose wife finally said 'Enough!'" he said. By min | December 12, 2007, 10:54 AM | Ummm...

The mine operators waited more than five hours before calling in outside rescuers. It's just disgusting and sad that this happens routinely. Just part of everyday business. *sigh* I'm surprised the government allowed the media to report it. Perhaps they plan on making an example of the mine owners to show that trying to avoid the fines is worse than just paying up. But with China's huge need for fuel, i doubt much will come of it. Safety gets tossed to the wayside in the face of "progress". There are a billion Chinese people, afterall. So what if they lose a few? By min | December 10, 2007, 3:49 PM | Ummm...
