First episode of Doctor Who Debuts on BBC (1963)
This long-running science fiction program about a mysterious time-traveling adventurer known only as "the Doctor" has become a significant part of British popular culture. Despite its featuring of low-budget special effects, it was widely recognized for creative storytelling and use of innovative music. After twenty-six seasons and a TV movie, Doctor Who recently reappeared as a new series. What machine does the Doctor use to travel through time and space?
Post a comment with the answer.

Although the program had many doctors the one I remember the most is Tom Baker. I don't know what it was about him that had me seriously focused on the program but he was definitely my favorite of the doctors. I haven't really been following the series since I was a little kid but I have read that they have had some spin offs like Torchwood that looks interesting but I really don't see myself running out and getting one just yet but I would accept it as a gift if anyone would be interested :)

Enjoy your weekend...

Are you interested in exploring the art world and all of it's forms for free? Then let me inform you about St. Augustine Artwalk. The oldest city in America is the host of such an event. Imagine yourself with your loved ones down in Florida looking for an event to attend and then you come across the usual boring "live" events on the strip. Well if you're in the area please make your way to St. Augustine and have yourself an experience like no other. This glorious event starts on Friday December 7th and Saturday December the 8th but that's not the end of it along with the first weekend of each month afterwards the old city comes alive with music and art exhibits once again. If you are the type that would enjoy the music aspect of it instead of the art then this would definitely get your body moving in a good and gleeful manner. First Friday Weekend Art Walk would be just what my wife and I would do without any hesitation. We enjoy intriguing and unique art work that many artists produce. Please, if you're vacationing in the "Sunshine State" and you happen to have some time to spare then you will not regret visiting the ole city and participate in the weekends events.

Happy Thanksgiving...

Still Adjusting...

DENVER (UPI) -- Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson combined for 48 points Tuesday as the Denver Nuggets swept past the Chicago Bulls 112-91. Anthony tallied 26 points and Iverson added 22, while Marcus Camby added 12 points and 20 rebounds for the Nuggets, who have won six straight. Kenyon Martin contributed 13 points for Denver, which shot 50.6 percent. Rookie Joakim Noah led Chicago with 16 points, with Kirk Hinrich and rookie Thomas Garner adding 14 points apiece for the 2-8 Bulls.
After going up just 36-25 in the first quarter, the Nuggets used a 13-0 run to forge a 72-53 halftime lead and were up 94-69 after three quarters. The Bulls, who were without Luol Deng for a second straight game (sore back), never mounted a challenge in the final period.

I know that this looks bad for the Bulls but they have a really good squad. Even though Noah gave them a good effort by rippin in 16 points I am giving them a few more months before the chemistry begins to flow at a steady and dangerous pace where the name Chicago Bulls will put those opposing them in fear.

Going Under...

Fresno, California - A story that will not amaze me now or ever, this man has done what most homeless people haven't thought of yet. Bruce Stacy a homeless carpenter has dug himself a home underground where he lives and spends his time away from the elements. Apparently he has built himself a few of these before in the past. Although the video below doesn't mention where they are or what has happened to them it looks like Mr. Stacy has improved his work where he even has an escape tunnel when ever some one approaches that is of the unfamiliar kind. The percentage of homeless people is rising at a record pace, we need to help those in need until they are able to get back on their feet financially and spiritually.

Chicago losing big...

---

LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Kobe Bryant had just 16 points on a cold shooting night, but the LA bench came up big Sunday night, as the Lakers beat Chicago, 106-78. Bryant was good on just 6-of-16 shots, and was on the bench when the Lakers put together an 18-0 streak over the third and fourth quarters to take matters in hand against the Bulls -- who had a team-wide cold hand, shooting just 34.8 percent from the floor. Andrew Bynum and Jordan Farmar had 14 points each, and Bynum hauled in 10 rebounds. Chris Mihm and Vladimir Radmanovic had 11 points each off the bench, and Mihm had seven rebounds for the Lakers, who won their third straight game and their fourth out of five. Ben Gordon led the Bulls with 20 points. Andres Nocioni had 14 points and six rebounds -- and no other player was in double figures for the Bulls, who have lost seven of nine games this season.

Massive Deal 4 Rodriguez...

NEW YORK (UPI) -- Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees have reportedly agreed to a framework that could lead to the largest sports contract in history. The New York Daily News reported that Rodriguez will likely sign a deal worth $275 million over 10 years. It appeared the superstar third baseman would no longer be with the Yankees after he opted out of the remaining three years of his previous contract with the team.
That made him a free agent and allowed him to negotiate with any team in the majors, but he indicated he would like to stay with New York if a deal could be arranged. Rodriguez met with the sons of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner during the past week. The Daily News report said that while language in the contract must be made final, it is expected to include incentives concerning the career home run record currently owned by Barry Bonds. Rodriguez hit 54 homers last season with 156 RBI and batted .314. But he struggled in the playoffs and the Yankees were eliminated in the first round for the third straight year.

I was kind of disappointed because I has hoping that he would try out our MudHens here in Toledo but I know that money talks so his decision to stay with the Yankees was coming soon enough. Well I wish him the best and a good luck on reaching Bond's record.

Assisting you and others...

When I spoke to my 20 year old daughter the other day about what she might want to do as a career she surprisingly mentioned that she was looking for a flight attendant career school where she can learn and gather some extra training that can help her achieve her goal. I told her that I just visited a site where they can help her with her courses as well as a few other types of classes that she might consider as well. This Flight school blog has everything you can ever need and want to prepare yourself for the right career path. My daughter has also thought about applying for the Ticket Agent course as well as the Gate Agent course. If you love to fly or you enjoy working with others especially with customers and you know that having a strong sense of helping people when the need is in high demand then you should definitely visit and sign up for one or more of their courses today. I know that my daughter loves to assist others when they feel that no one else is around to help them. She and I have taken the time to visit, we both agree that the site is very user friendly and the information listed was of great help.

Bonds Indicted...

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) -- Major League Baseball's all-time home run leader Barry Bonds has been indicted in San Francisco on five counts of perjury and obstruction of justice.
Documents were filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco in connection with Bonds' Dec. 4, 2003, grand jury appearance, during which he testified he did not knowingly take performance enhancing drugs supplied by Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO). Bonds' former mistress, Kimberly Bell, and a former childhood friend, Stevie Hoskins, also have said BALCO supplied him steroids. The indictment of the seven-time National League MVP follows one of the longest federal grand jury investigations in Northern California history.
The 43-year-old slugger, who has consistently denied using steroids, has hit 762 home runs with a career average of .298 in 22 seasons with Pittsburgh and San Francisco. His historic 756th homer came Aug. 7 this year against Washington.
He is a free agent after the Giants decided not to re-sign him.

Ricky and Dolphins...

DAVIE, Fla. (UPI) -- The National Football League announced Wednesday Miami running back Ricky Williams can return to action late this month. Williams has been suspended since the 2005 season for violating the league's drug policy.
"Ricky Williams was notified this morning by Commissioner (Roger) Goodell that he has been reinstated as an NFL player," the league said in a statement. "Williams can begin attending team meetings and practicing immediately, but will not be eligible to play in games until Week 12 when the Dolphins play at Pittsburgh (Monday night, Nov. 26). The Dolphins will receive a roster exemption for Williams for up to two weeks when he begins practicing, starting no later than Monday." Williams was suspended in April 2006 for his fourth violation of the league's anti-drug policy. He then signed a one-year deal with Toronto of the Canadian Football League, where he ran for 623 yards. He missed two months of the 2006 season with a broken arm. His reinstatement to the NFL does not guarantee he will be on the Miami roster. Miami Coach Cam Cameron said Wednesday that he and Williams, "will sit down and visit."

My wife might be thrilled to hear that her favorite player is back but then again will he make a huge difference in how they are currently playing? I hope that for the teams sake they try and improve their defensive team, because from what I've seen they need it pretty bad.

Justice or Street Justice?

This post is one that will go down as one that will keep us wondering why not build a moat. A man fleeing from police near Miami, Florida, jumped in a pond and was eaten by a large alligator. Now I don't know if the man was a native to the area but I guess the sign you see to the right was not seen by the gentleman. I would call this justice served, would you consider it street justice or just justice? Either way this should be a story for all crooks to remember - always plan your route before attempting to rob someone or some place. What an idiot, he should taken his chances with the cops instead of taking a short cut.

Hold that pose...

The camera you see to the right is one that I've been eying for about a month and a half now. I'm a photographer well actually a novice but I help my wife out when she's working through out the city covering several political events as well as public events. We have a digital camera now but it's not exactly the best. It's not like the Nikon D300 where you're zoom quality goes above and beyond what our camera can do now. I would be thrilled and of course excited if I were to get one for my birthday which is in May or maybe sooner like Christmas. When I'm not taking pictures for my wife I usually visit different locations throughout Toledo and I tend to take pictures of objects that the average person wouldn't even think about, for example if I'm walking down the street and there happens to be a piece of newspaper on the street I would stop and look for a certain angle and then take a picture of it. It's the look of it that attracts my eye, some call it art I call it just another perspective. Now that I think about it I can't remember the last time I took a roll of film to have developed. It's amazing how much money we've saved since the digital bug bit us.

Buckeyes lossing 1...

COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) -- Juice Williams threw four touchdown passes Saturday afternoon, as Illinois knocked off the top-ranked and previously unbeaten Ohio State Buckeyes, 28-21. Williams threw for 140 yards on 12-of-22 passing and also ran for 70 yards for the Fighting Illini (8-3, 5-2 Big Ten), who defeated a nationally top-ranked team for the first time since they beat Michigan in 1956.
Marques Wilkins, Michael Hoomanawanui, Brian Gamble and Jacob Willis all caught touchdown passes from Williams in the victory. Todd Boeckman struggled behind center, completing 13-of-23 passes with no touchdowns and three interceptions for the Buckeyes (10-1, 6-1), who suffered their first loss of the season and saw their 28-game regular season win streak end.

We're one week away and the Buckeyes have shown a little normalcy. The top ranked Buckeyes have gone down during the Ohio Illinois game. With just a week before the big game here between the Bucks and the Wolverines a lot of speculation is going around that this might not go so well for Michigan, with Ohio losing the way they did this may charge them up for the next game. I on the other hand see this as a possible plus - they're hurting right now so a game against Michigan might make things worse for the Bucks. All Michigan has to do is present a strong front keep the momentum moving forward and don't look back.

My Floor...

This is the way it should look like when a little time and effort is taken when redoing your garage floors. I have a garage but it has been over taken by my lovely kid's stuff - old clothes, boxes of shoes and the boxes of please don't throw away because I might need it at some point. I would love to have that kind of garage as well as that type of floor to match it. If your floors are looking a bit rough and you need that splash of new to improve your garage then please visit today and look around.

Free agent Roger Clemens

NEW YORK (UPI) -- Roger Clemens, who has told the Houston Astros he is ready to fulfill a personal services contract, officially filed for free agency Friday. That move leaves open the possibility Clemens might pitch in the majors for a 25th season. Clemens was one of three players to file for free agency Friday, bringing the total to 146 who have done so since the filing period began last week. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Randy Wolf and Tampa Bay designated hitter Greg Norton also filed.
Clemens does not have to officially retire to start his personal services contract, a 10-year deal he signed with the Astros in 2004. He agreed to the deal then because he expected to retire at the end of that season. But he pitched again for the Astros in 2005 and 2006. He then signed a one-year deal for the New York Yankees and went 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA in 18 games last season.

One down many to go...

NBA: Chicago 97, Detroit 93
CHICAGO (UPI) -- Joe Smith and Tyrus Thomas combined to make three free throws in the final 17 seconds Thursday night, boosting the Chicago Bulls past Detroit, 97-93.
Chicago won its first game of the season and Detroit lost for the first time. The Bulls were nursing a one-point lead when Smith made two foul shots with 17 seconds to play. After Detroit's Richard Hamilton missed a three-point attempt, Thomas was fouled. Needing to make only one free throw with two seconds remaining to clinch the win, Thomas missed his first attempt. But the second one was good, giving him 19 points for the game.
Luol Deng added 17 for the Bulls, who had lost their first four games of the season. Detroit, which had opened the campaign with three straight wins, got 36 points from Rasheed Wallace. Wallace, Hamilton and Chauncey Billups combined to score all but 25 of Detroit's points. This was the first meeting of the teams since Detroit eliminated Chicago in six games in last season's conference semifinals.

Now that Da Bulls have one in the locker they can focus on the next win and continue their efforts to become a great force throughout the season.

Get the Devil out...

Tampa Bay drops 'Devil' from nickname.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (UPI) -- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays dropped the "Devil" from their name Thursday while introducing a new image.
"We are now the 'Rays' -- a beacon that radiates throughout Tampa Bay and across the entire state of Florida," said Stuart Sternberg, the team's principal owner. "Tampa Bay and the Sunshine State are beautiful places. We want the Rays to reflect the best our region has to offer." The team also changed its colors, replacing green and black with a combination of navy and light blue. New uniforms were introduced as well, featuring the new colors along with a yellow sunburst that emerges from behind the letter, "R."

This is the beginning of a good thing, now if we can only take of the others that have bad names like The Florida Marlins,The Arizona Diamonbacks heck even The Minnesots Twins, has anyone done a research as to what their twins of? Let's not even mention the Washington Nationals.
