Friday Frolics - What Color Is Your Birthday?

If there's a color attached to a birthday, what's yours? Mine's purple though the part about me being moody and all isn't true.

Well, it's Friday again. What can I say but have yourself a colorful day!



Your Birthday is Purple



You are the independent type. It's hard for people to peg, label, or stereotype you.

You enjoy people and things from all walks of life. You're incredibly open minded.



You tend to be a bit fickle and even moody. You can end up hating what you love and vice versa.

Your preferences and actions can be a bit mysterious at times. It's hard to predict what you'll do.

Tips For Going To A Professional Baseball Game

Contribution by Darren Saunders

The NFL might have the highest ratings right now when it comes to professional sports, but baseball will always be America's pastime. Have you ever been to a baseball game? If so, you know how enjoyable it is, especially if you're going with your kids. If you have never been to a professional baseball game, there are a few things you're going to want to know prior to arriving.

If you get to the stadium early, go ahead and park in the stadium lots, but be sure to park near the gates. This way you won't have to wait a long time when the game is over. You will be one of the first ones out. If you get to the game on time or late, look for parking around the stadium. Don't worry about crime. If cars that parked here were vandalized, the parking lot owners wouldn't have a business. When you get to the game, try to buy food items that everyone can share. This will cut the cost of your day down considerably. If the stadium isn't full, try to improve your seats in the middle innings. The ushers usually won't mind if those fans have already left. Just be sure to give him a $5 or $10 tip - depending on the city you're in.

These tips have helped me enjoy many baseball games throughout the years. When I cant make it to the game, I watch it on my satellite tv from www.directstartv.com/directv_programming/directv_seasonal_sports.html. Either way, Im a true baseball fan and that will never change.

How to Increase your Bustline

Ladies who want to increase their bustline no longer need to go for breast implants. This is because there is now a gel that can increase bustline.

Rodial Boob Job Gel, hailed as the miracle cream with subscribers like Eva Mendez and Scarlett Johansson promises to plump, firm and lift boobs as much as 2.5cm if applied daily for 56 days.

Makers Rodial claim it works by blocking fat cells as they travel round the body, increasing a woman's bust size.

The boob gel retails for RM611.50 per 100ml bottle.

I wonder if there are any side effects. Anyway, it's always wise to have health insurance, whether or not you're using the gel. If you're in North Carolina Blue Advantage health plans are not to be missed.

Security cameras in the city

If you are planning to visit Kuala Lumpur and may be unsure as to how safe it is, be assured that the city is a lot safer now than a few years ago. This is because of the many security cameras that have been installed in many parts of the city and other cities around the country.

According to stats published in the papers, the crime rate has gone down significantly since these cameras were installed. Still, it is advisable to always be alert to your surroundings when you are out and about, especially ladies. Better to be safe than sorry.

Keep warm in Genting Highlands

Did you know that redwood trees can grow to a height of 450ft? I wonder what's it like to be on top of one of those giants. Also, I wonder is it cold up there?

Talk about cold, if you're planning a trip to Genting Highlands and staying in one of those apartments, you may want to bring some warm clothing because nights are really cold due to the altitude and the mist and there's no heater in the apartment, let alone an infrared heater. Also, it can be a long cold walk to and from the indoor amusement park or casino or rather where the action is. So, be warned about keeping warm up in Genting Highlands.

Maritime injury and claims

Kuala Lumpur being an inland city, we don't hear much about water sports, water activities, water-related injuries and the like. Unless one is involved in anyone of them, practically no one talks about boats and stuff, much less maritime injuries and claims.

The other day, I came upon a site about maritime law, injury claims, etc, and the success stories of this legal firm of Texas Maritime lawyers who have helped handle serious injury and wrongful death claims throughout the Gulf Coast region of Texas, in the cities of Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, and Port Arthur for injured offshore workers and their families in the recent BP oil spill.

If you're interested to know more, do visit the site. It's got lots of information - Rig explosions, overboard deaths, equipment accidents, diving injuries, unseaworthy vessels, lost wages, General maritime law, Death on High Seas Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act - the whole works. Check it out!
