A New Maaaannnnnnn......

Less than a month since her decision to separate from Kevin Federline, Britney Spears, 25, has a new man in her life, Jonathan JR Rotem, a South Africa born American record producer.
Rotem has produced tracks for artists and groups such as The Game, Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears (Everybody (2000), Who Can She Trust (2000)), Snoop Dogg among others.

He is the co-owner of the record label, Beluga Height, launched in 2006. The label signed up Sean Kingston, a young Miami-based rapper recently.

Spears and Rotem were spotted last night going to a movie at the Groove by the x17online camera crew. They then grabbed a bite at The 3rd Stop in West Hollywood where they were observed to be canoodling. A lot of fondness and intimacy was evident during their stay there. Spears, provocatively attired in a short red dress, could be seen sitting on Rotem’s lap kissing him.

The fact that it wasn’t an ordinary dinner out became obvious when following the dinner the two went to Rotem’s apartment at 3 am and Spears was not observed to leave the rest of the night.

First Snow of the Season... What a doosey!

The season's first big wintry storm blustered across the Midwest on Friday and closed in on the Northeast, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity, stranding airline passengers and burying streets in wet, heavy snow. The storm was blamed for at least eight deaths as it cut a swath from Texas to the Northeast, bringing snow, freezing rain and high winds, and closing schools and businesses. The East Coast saw rain, thundershowers and high winds late Friday, with damaging gusts up to 55 mph expected as the cold front passed. Ameren Corp . reported about 520,000 customers without power in Illinois and Missouri on Friday after ice and snow blanketed much of the state, snapping power lines and tree limbs. Ron Zdellar, Ameren vice president, said it would be days before all customers had electricity again. "We know a lot of people are going to have to leave their homes, probably over the next few days," he said. Part of a roof collapsed at a Peoria nursing home Friday evening, causing minor injuries, police said. The snow may have been a factor. Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt declared a state of emergency and deployed National Guard members to help people in need. More than 200 were to be in the St. Louis area by Saturday morning, and 500 others were available if needed around the state. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius declared a disaster emergency for 27 counties. Shelters and warm-up centers opened in the St. Louis area, with temperatures expected to drop into the teens. Two St. Louis police officers escorted 89-year-old Francis Oldani on Friday afternoon to a warming center, where volunteers offered lunch and hot chocolate. Oldani said she lost power Thursday night and called police in desperation Friday morning. "It was miserable; I was so cold," Oldani said. "I just had to put on as many clothes as I could. I put a blanket around me and sat in a chair. I guess these people will provide for me. I really don't know." The fire chief in the St. Louis suburb of Affton said an 87-year-old woman died early Friday in a house fire that started after an ice-laden tree limb fell on a power line, causing the fuse box in her basement to short-circuit. In Chicago, where snow covered street signs and commuters walked gingerly along slushy streets, forecasters warned residents to be careful digging out of what they called "heart attack snow" - difficult to shovel because it is so heavy. A man died Friday afternoon after shoveling snow in Racine, Wis., which got up to got 14.5 inches, officials said. Chicago received 6.2 inches, and many areas of Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri got more than a foot. As the storm moved east, strong showers and gusty winds caused even more people to lose power. In Michigan's Lower Peninsula, more than 100,000 customers lost power at some point during the day, though many had power restored. In Tennessee, 38,000 Knoxville Utilities board customers lost power early Friday at the peak of the outages, and in West Virginia, more than 45,000 lost power at least temporarily. In central Kentucky, winds toppled a church steeple. The Forks of Dix River Baptist Church, near Lancaster, was damaged when the steeple and a "big, big chunk of the roof" was torn off, said the Rev. Jerry Browning. In New York, severe thunderstorms and high winds toppled trees and knocked out power to at least 65,500 customers outside the New York City area. One person died after a tree fell onto a house in Ellenville. The combination of sleet, rain and snow made driving treacherous in many areas. In Milwaukee, the slippery roads were too much for vehicle after vehicle - even a snowplow overturned. Near Paducah, Texas, a sport-utility vehicle carrying a high school girls' basketball team slid on an icy patch and tipped over, killing a 14-year-old player and injuring six teammates and the coach. The tournament the Paducah High School team was headed to was canceled. In Missouri, where two storm-related fatal accidents occurred Thursday, officials closed a 50-mile stretch of Interstate 70 for several hours Friday morning. Icy roads were also a factor in two other traffic deaths, one in Kansas on Wednesday and one Thursday in Oklahoma. Scores of cars and semitrailer trucks skidded off a 70-mile stretch of Interstate 80 in Illinois, bringing traffic to a standstill. The state used snowmobiles Friday evening to take food to motorists, Department of Transportation spokesman Mike Claffey said. The Midwest's nasty weather caused problems for travelers nationwide. United Airlines canceled 821 flights as of late afternoon Friday, according to company spokeswoman Robin Urbanski. "I understand things like this happen and I'm in tulsa so I know first hand.

The Users

Friends, family, countryman... lend me a dollar. That's all I heard over the holiday, as if I'm not on borderline broke myself. Everyone has that particular family member or "friend" that thinks you have the bank to give them or other resources that you have that may help them in some endevore that they a hatching up inside the norrow alleyway that they call the mind. Needless to say the rest of the holiday was cool. I had to work the rest of the holiday but I'm not the only one who had to do so. But that little encounter can be a small let down because they are not on the same level of thinking that you may be on such as showing up for the holidays for your family in best wishes for them and yourself to prosper and other family members that are there to so called prosper on thier behalh and your pocket book. The point is not to get so upset about it. When holidays come around and you know that this particular family member will arrive at the yearly functions (and they will), just make a game of it... pay attention to them and count how many people they asked throughout the function. See how many fall for it and see how many of your family members don't and when next your comes around see if the same people fall for it again or if they learned their listen at last years gathering. Believe me... this will become a game favorite at your next family get together. Happy holidays.

Public School Drama

For all of you that may have children I know at one point and time your child came to you and told you about someone in their class or school that has been messing with them from time to time or everyday. Well in this case my son is experiencing the same delimma.

Now my son is no saint but he is a good kid but this particular child that my son is having a problem with isn't your regular school bully, this child seems to have a problem with touch other little kids in the private areas. At least once a week my son would tell me about this kid but my son didn't go into full extent of what was going on until last week. I asked him why he didn't tell me this before and he said that he was to ashamed to tell me in detail which I understood. So I aksed him did he let his teacher know what was going on he told me that he would let his teacher know that this kid was messing with him and the teacher would just tell my son to get back in line or to be queit and finish what he was working on.

With this said I went up to the school to confront the issue and the first thing that came out of the teachers mouth was patronizism. When she did that it made my mind instantly flash back to my public school days and how the teachers back then really didn't differ from the teachers today which is very sad to me.

After my son, myself, the teacher and the little boy had a small meeting in the school hallway we all came to an understanding "I hope". The kids went back into class and so did the teacher and I turned around to leave as I was leaving I heard the teacher getting on my sons case about how he is not a saint either. The thing was the teacher thought I was gone, so I crept around the corner " I mean in straight stealth mode" and surprised her which made me even more anger because she was chestizing my son instead of correcting the matter at hand.

People... this is what's going on in our childerns schools and the teacher can give a danm about it, some never cared in the first place and other came into the teaching profession with all the heart and will to see a child develope into a promising adult and after years of being dragged through the school system themselves their passion for teaching has been exstinquised and replaced with half assed teaching methods, low pay scale, a crappy retirement, and year after year of class overflow and half of them are unruley childern.

This particular procces helps aid in low test scores in public schools along with turning a blind eye and ear to childern that a calling for help whether it's about school ciriculum or that one/group of kids that's making your childs school life a living hell for them.

What do you think of the Ab Lounge 2?

The "Ab Lounge 2" is great. Before I had my son I had 9% body fat. For a hieght of 5'9 and a weight of 134 lbs that is wonderful. While I was pregnant I ballooned up to 223 lbs. After I had my son I thought that I would natuarlly shed the exccess weight...wroooong. 6 years later and I was still over 200 lbs. As usual on a late night I was flipping through channels on my cable TV and seen the infomercial for the "Ab Lounge 2"... changed the channel and I didn't think twice about it. Woke up that next morning and behold the same infomercial was on. So I called customer service and ordered it. All the while I was thinking about how the "Ab Lounge 2" was going to become a decorative clothes rack like the rest of my exercise equipment. Well... it finally arrived and for 8 days I left it sitting in its orginal packaging. My son "now 7 yrs old" asked why I haven't opened my new exercise equipment yet... so I did, and haven't looked back since. I am now weighing in at 146 lbs and my abs look as though I never was pregnant. The best part about the equipment is that it supports your entire body, so those with back problems and want to get in shape should truely consider the " Ab Lounge 2" and on top of that it is very affordable. I want to thank the makers of "Ab Lounge 2" for helping me fill like me again.

The Customer Churn

Personal example of most account churns.... hummm. To keep things on the up and up I will address this company buy the name of " Locks Connections". Now "Locks Connections" has the most proficient connection service for your everday household electronic needs such as for you or your families viewing pleasure and long distance communication needs and so forth. With the illusion of combinding all of these items in what is referred as a "bundle package" it would seem as though money was being saved. After about 6 months of service with this particular company I notice a ridicious price spike in my monthly billing. Well as you'll would already presume, this prompted be to contact my previous provider of these services. The call to my previous provider lasted about 2 1/2 hours mostly due to the customer service process. Now I know better than most about customer service simply because that is my current occupation. With knowing the 1,2,3's of this process I expected some of the run around but with this company it was just a plain "I don't care" type of atmosphere and the thing is it was like that no matter what I may had been calling for. So after it was all said and done it to all the attitudes from front line customer service agents to a corporate exceutive by the "way was upset with me because I couldn't understand him clearly on the account of his deep accent" and constantly questioning me if I understood english. The crazy thing was I understood the billing and why there was a price change but the chain of command was so unprofessional and how they expressed that I will just have to get us to the fact that they will be hiking up the price of these services every 6 months or so. Honestly, because of the customer service chain of command that was the main reason for switching my provider. If I felt that the pricing of my services were to high I could have easily just reduced some of my service and the company would still have my business, but rudeness on the companies behalf is why most accounts churn happens.
