That's right - the Ferringo Report is back for another fun-filled season! And this year, The Report has extended its diabolical reach into the realm of college football. Not to worry, I'll still share my reflections on the National Football League, but college will be on Monday and pro will be on Tuesday.In the meantime, here are my random, nonsensical ravings about a wild Week 1 in the World of College Football:- The Big East would have to be the conference I was most impressed with last weekend. Beast schools finished 7-1 straight up and 5-0 against the spread, and notched a pair of rousing victories over ACC schools (Pitt hammered Virginia; Rutgers handled North Carolina).

Or maybe it all fizzled out and nothing happened. Well, a similar reaction is going on inside your brain or muse. Except instead of atoms floating around they're pieces of information or other ideas. As they drift about, they occasionally bump into each other. When that happens, you may get a new, third idea. Or a big explosion. Or absolutely nothing at all. Now, if you have lots...

Another year has passed and again it is time to celebrate my birthday. As I think back on the life I have lived and the things I have learned I know that I can look forward to the future with joy and expectation and I look back with no regrets. As I look at my reflection in the mirror, I see a few more laugh lines, but I have decided that the only lines on my face that count as wrinkles are the lines caused by frowning. A line on my face that is caused from smiling and laughing will just add character and beauty. I will rejoice in those lines. They are the marks of a life well lived. I have learned to let go of the things I cannot control. I cannot control others opinion of me yet I can control what...

Learning to dance is fun - and it is easy. In a sense it is like learning a new language - a language in which moods and emotions are expressed in movement; a language of rhythm, grace and harmony. It is new - but in a very real sense it is the oldest language in the world, for dancing is the oldest form of art. We know people danced as far back as the beginning of recorded history. The dance appeared in various forms in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Dancing gives expression to a deeply rooted emotion in man so profound as to border on reverence.

Hollywood has a way of promoting fashion. When the showing of bare navels was restricted during the 1940?s, it came out with a great idea. They covered the navel with a jewel. Placing of the jewels in the navel was popularized by belly dancing pictures of the time. The result, people started to believe that a jewel in the navel is part of the middle-eastern culture. It is not. It was only a devise invented by Hollywood filmmakers to get around with the prohibition but the idea caught on and no one was complaining. The idea was ridiculously great. You can imagine until now the smug smiles on the faces of directors and costume designers of the era. Like any good idea coming from Hollywood, placing...

It was a period of time whereby the unique sounding records of Motown were being played and heard throughout the streets, nightclubs, house parties and radio stations everywhere. It was common to have the soulful R and B records playing on the jukeboxes while folks were dancing in the streets or singing in the barber shops and beauty parlors to the love songs that eventually captivated the hearts of millions of people throughout the world.

My pregnancy calendar was invaluable when I became pregnant with my first child. I had little idea about the way a baby grew during pregnancy. I knew how it began, how long it would take, and even the options on how the baby would come out, but not much about the actual process. I found the pregnancy calendar online on the morning I discovered that I was pregnant. Having stopped dancing around with excitement, I wanted to know when the baby would be born. A quick internet search revealed several places where I could get this information, and having checked a few of them out, I decided that one looked like it would help me the most in my quest for information. At that time, I had no idea how much I...

Partly funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, "Ed in '08" has a platform based on higher standards, more effective teaching, and extra attention to students who need it. The campaign hopes to inspire voters...

Waking up as a little boy the excitement for the day's adventure pumped through my veins and lit up my eyes. I'd look out the window at the bright sunshine, the hay fields, and the expansive blue skies and magical clouds. Once out in the freedom of the day, with no responsibilities, I'd hop, skip, jump, and run with joy, wonder, and excitement. Somewhere along the way, I began to remember and learned about cause and effect. Suddenly some limitations came into existence. Continuing to grow and mature, I learned to reason and apply my own critical thinking to situations that may or may not happen. I was creating a new reality within the context of my mind and my past experiences. The horror! Now, with...

Before the bodywrap, I measured the circumference of my upper arms, ribcage, waist, hips and upper thighs before the first treatment and kept it as a reference. I was really...
