This is such a happy and sad story. I didn't include all of the text so you'll have to click the AOL News link below. This story has touched me only because I don't know my father either. It took her all these years to find her father and he has cancer and their reunion may be cut short but at least they were able to meet each other before his fateful day comes.



I am so happy for the two of them and wish the best for their families.

Nurse Discovers Patient Is Her Long-Lost Father

(Sept. 3) -- What are the odds? Wanda Rodriguez, a 41-year-old assistant head nurse at New York's Calvary Hospital, had not seen her father since she was a baby. Raised by her mother in the Bronx after her parents broke up when she was less than a year old, Rodriguez didn't know much more of her father than his name, Victor Peraza, and her mother's recollection that Rodriguez looked a lot like him. But as fate would have it, on Aug. 25 a new cancer patient was admitted to Calvary, a hospital that administers care to the terminally ill. When Rodriguez learned his name while discussing his case with a colleague, she froze up. "I thought, if he's my complexion, if he has green eyes, he could be my dad," Rodriguez told ABC News.Read more at www.aolnews.com

Dog Prayer

I got an email today with this video attached to it. It's actually a lot easier to send me a link to YouTube rather than sending me a video attached in my email. First of all it loads a lot quicker in YouTube, if I watched it on YouTube then I wouldn't have to wait for Windows Media Player to load. That takes forever to actually play because the video is usually always choppy. While the audio is still playing, the video freezes for seconds at a time.



I did do a search on YouTube and found it and thought I would share it with my readers.



I think this is amazing how this dog owner has trained his dog to pray before eating. Most dogs would just go to their food whenever they wanted to.



Enjoy

Evan Williams Explains New Twitter Interface

I am definitely not part of the 1% of people who woke up today to a brand new Twitter but even if I was, I wouldn't have known it considering I only ever go to the Twitter website to click my list of followers to follow people back. For the rest of the day I have TweetDeck running on my screen at all times.



Even if I were part of the 1% of Twitter users who woke up with a brand new interface it wouldn't do me any good because TweetDeck gives me way more than Twitter.com ever did and even with a new UI it still won't do me as much good as TweetDeck does.



Watch the video below to see how CEO and co-founder of Twitter Evan Williams explains the new Twitter interface...

Evan Williams Explains New Twitter Interface

For the 1 percent of users who woke up to a different Twitter experience Wednesday morning, it was probably the biggest change they have ever seen to the real time information service. Twitter has approximately 160 million users and there are nearly 90 million tweets sent every day. Tech Crunch has a good walk-throughof the new look. Mashable thinks it will put developers on the platform out of business. We asked Evan Williams, the CEO and co-founder of Twitter about what motivated the changes. Take a look: Read more at www.youtube.com

Colbert Testimony Before Congress (House Subcommittee)

Stephen Colbert testified before congress about immigration and people were not amused at all. Although I found his speech hilarious, I do find that it was a waste of time for congress. He could have just put the skit into his show and Congress could've watched it from the comfort of their homes or offices.



People are saying he is making a mockery of the congressional hearing, well, wasn't that his point of being there? He was asked to be there by the congresswoman that he mentioned and later she said that she didn't know he was going to be in character. Come on, he's Stephen Colbert. If you know anything about him it's that he's like Lady Gaga or Kathy Griffin, always in character.



Again, I found it hilarious but that's just me. What do you think?

AP News: Montana GOP policy: Make homosexuality illegal

URL:  http://m.apnews.com/ap/db_16026/contentdetail.htm?conte...

I am beyond shocked at this AP News article. It's 2010 and the Montana Republicans want to make homosexuality illegal. Really? Seriously? This is beyond disturbing to me that people are still so ignorant and hateful that they want to make being born a certain way against the law.



Is it illegal to be born with darker skin? Is it illegal to be born with red hair? No! So why make it illegal to be gay? That's just so beyond stupid and I think that these republicans should be thrown out of office on principle.
