Wrestlemania 23: The Battle of the Billionaires

There will be a high-stakes Battle of the Billionaires between Donald Trump and Mr. McMahon at WrestleMania 23. ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley (representing Trump) will take on Intercontinental Champion Umaga (representing Mr. McMahon) with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special guest referee. But bragging rights aren't the only thing at stake; it will also be a bad hair day for either Trump or McMahon, as the winning billionaire will get to shave the losing billionaire's precious hair.

Three 'Jeopardy' Contestants End Up Tied

What Would Natalie Do? Rock, Paper, Scissors...where Rock smashes everything!!

NEW YORK - All those years of answers and questions, and it's never happened before on "Jeopardy!" What is a three-way tie, Alex? The three contestants on the venerable game show all finished with $16,000 after each answering the final question correctly in the category, "Women of the 1930s," on Friday's show. They identified Bonnie Parker, of the famed Bonnie and Clyde crime duo, as a woman who, as a waitress, once served one of the men who shot her.

"We've had a lot of crazy things happen on `Jeopardy!' but in 23 years I've never seen anything like this before," host Alex Trebek said.

The show contacted a mathematician who calculated the odds of such a three-way tie happening — one in 25 million.

The three contestants, Jamey Kirby of Gainesville, Fla.; Anders Martinson of Union City, Calif.; and Scott Weiss of Walkersville, Md; were all declared champions and taped a rematch that will air Monday.

27 ways to know if you've found the right relationship for you

By Stacy D. Phillips - Family Law Attorney


There is nothing more glorious than falling in love! What a wonderful feeling it is, when, after all that searching and seeking, you finally hook up with that compatible mate. But wait! How can you know that the person you think is right for you, really right for you?

It's easy, well, maybe. All you have to do is make sure that you ask the appropriate questions -- queries that will help you establish how your likes and dislikes, and needs and wants, line up with those of your significant other (should that new love become truly significant in your life). And, of course, the reality has to match up to the answers to these questions.

At the right time and place, I suggest people exchange answers to the following questions:

1. Kids or no kids?
2. Smoking or no smoking?
3. Drinking or no drinking? (Same for drugs)
4. Religious beliefs: Match? Blend? Clash?
5. Who works? Who stays home (especially when the kids come along)?
6. Who wants to live where?
7. Who controls the checkbook?
8. What is his/her personal relationship with his/her family? Too distant? Too close? Too weird? Appropriate to your standards?
9. How are holidays spent? At home? With family? Alone? Vacationing?
10. Windows opened or closed? Heat/AC on or off?
11. What side of the bed must you (he/she) sleep on?
12. Where to spend vacations? Leisure time?
13. Sick: Left alone or babied?
14. Appropriate gift giving: birthdays? Yuletide holidays? Special occasions?
15. Who does what around the house?
16. What is acceptable hygiene?
17. What are his/her hobbies, pastimes?
18. Preferences: Music? Movie? Book favorites?
19. Favorite foods?
20. Pets or no pets? What kind?
21. Decisions about the children: School, church, discipline, allowance,
extra curricular activities, friends, and curfew?
22. Mealtimes: Early or late?
23. Furniture: Vintage or Contemporary?
24. Sleeping habits: Four hours or eight?

Three more compatibility factors

If this list is not enough to help you determine whether or not your new love is right for you, try these as additional ways to size up the compatibility factor: How does your new love handle a crisis? Behave in public places? Treat your friends and family?

I also think you can tell a great deal about your new mate by the way he treats his mother and how she treats her father. Observing how a person regards that parent is key in establishing how he or she will treat you!

If you are in love -- if you've finally met Mr. or Ms. Right -- step back from all that awe and wonderment for a moment and get answers to all of the above. You will find out whether or not this new relationship (the one you've been looking for all this time) is one that will or will not last. As they say, love can be blind, but if it is going to last, love also has to be practical!

What Tarot Card Am I?

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

The Year of The Pig

Around this time of year, I can easily gain 5 lbs. in one day. My downfall, a yummy fried bread that is the tradition invented by my people who come from the ice cold steppes of Mongolia - where layers of extra fat saves lives. Here, it's just unsightly.

Bordsk is a Mongolian deep-fried bread which is served during the celebration of Tsagan Sar, the Tibetan Buddhist Lunar New Year. Tsagan Sar, when translated means "White Moon" is celebrated two months after the first new moon following the winter solstice. This year, it fell on Feb 18th. I know what you're thinking - Chinese New Year. Yes and no, but many Asian nationalities and cultures celebrate the lunar new year with their own customs and traditions.

During this holiday, Buddhists and celebrants attend "hurul" (temple) for a 2 hour service where lamas chant from Buddhist scripture. After services, visits with family and friends (usually dinner parties) ensue. The tradition lasts for about 2-3 weeks until every last family and friend is seen. At each stop, guests feast on Bordsk and Halmyg Tse (Salted Butter Tea), among a vast cornucupia of other foods, and greet one another with a "Mende, Mende Garu?", which literally means "Hello, Hello, did you get out?" Back in the day, life expectancy was not that high with Ghengis & the Golden Horde in charge.

Visiting children receive sums of money while adults receive gifts. I especially loved Tsagan when I was younger, all Mongolian kids do, because it's an auspicious way to make a chunk of change off the relatives.

Tsagan Sar, like the New Year, is about ushering in new beginnings, good fortune and good tidings of the highest by celebrating spiritually through religious ceremony and then later, merriment with food and drink.

So, to you dear reader, "Mende Mende garu"? And for those of you born under this year's sign, many happy returns!
