Had a talk with Matt this morning about .when I was looking through the paper and they had a sample of perfume… do you know how they get that scent inside that little flap to stay there? And sometimes I wonder why they put pictures of half naked women on the print for a woman’s perfume do they think it’s going to make us think.. hey if I use this I’m going to look like that! How I have enough self-steam to now that I wear it just because I like the smell.

Officials said the 34-year-old man and two friends were in Fargo for a conference.

An 84-year-old Islamic preacher is being detained by a Nigerian Muslim court for not following a request to divorce 82 of his 86 wives. Mohammed Bello is charged with insulting religious creed and unlawful marriages after he refused to follow Islamic sharia law that calls for no more than four wives. Local leaders in Niger gave him until earlier this month to take care of the extra marriages but he did not. He filed a petition against those who threatened to banish him if he didn't carry out the divorces but is now being held without bail. The case has been adjourned until early next month.
About 190,000 MacGregor and Mitre folding soccer goals were recalled yesterday after the death of one young child. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said a 20-month-old boy from Texas was strangled when his head and arm became entangled in the net of one of the recalled goals. The agency received another report of a child’s head becoming entangled in a net. The gaps in the recalled nets are about 20 inches square, which is a dangerous size according to the CPSC. The gaps should have been less than 17 inches or greater than 28 inches. The Chinese-made goals were sold by Regent Sports from May 2002 to May 2008. Parents can find out more by calling 1-877.516.9707, or going to www.cpsc.gov.
Nevada game wardens have seized dozens of illegal African clawed frogs over the last two months. Authorities have traced the frogs – banned because of their potential for ecological damage – to a company that sells tadpoles over the Internet. It turns out the tadpoles from Florida-based Grow-a- Frog are illegal in Nevada and at least 10 other states. Agents seized 119 of the frogs from three Reno homes last month and another 68 this week in seven Nevada counties. Grow-a-Frog called the shipments to Nevada a mistake and agreed to pay a $3,600 fine. Nevadans who knowingly own the frogs faces up to six months in jail and a $500 fine.
Crack Habit Leads To Beer Can Theft
A Waterford, Michigan, man says his nasty crack habit drove him to steal nearly 250 empty beer cans from a 7-Eleven store. The 46-year-old man opened the door to an outside storage room and grabbed a large bag filled with the cans. He put them in his car and sped off. Police pulled him over and found 247 cans – worth $24.70 under Michigan’s 10-cent deposit law – and arrested him.
A Michigan man could spend a decade and a half in prison but has himself to blame for getting caught after he fell asleep while robbing a home. A woman returned to her Kalamazoo home last June to find her door open, some belongings in the driveway, the place ransacked and Victor Simon Davis sleeping on her couch. That made the arrest easy for police but the troubles for Davis deep. He faces three to 15 years behind bars and must also pay victim restitution, court costs and state fees.

Carrie Underwood plays a convincing widow in the video for her hit "Just a Dream," but next time she'd rather hire a double. She says, "It meant a lot to me that I got to play that role, but I think I realized throughout the whole process I am not an actress. That was something that was so emotionally draining -- I mean, crying all day long pretty much, and then in-between takes, everybody's all happy and funny. I don't know if that's something that I could really do too much of."

Three-Ply Power
If two-ply toilet paper is good, then three-ply tissue must be better. At least that's what toilet-paper researchers in northeastern Wisconsin hope. Yes, there is such a thing as a toilet-paper researcher. And a team of them at Georgia Pacific's Innovation Institute in Neenah has come up with a three-ply version of its Quilted Northern product. The new product will be launched Monday. The company touts the toilet tissue as "ultra-soft" and says it plans to market the product to women 45 and older who view their bathroom as a "sanctuary for quality time." Industry analyst Bill Schmitz is skeptical. He said extra layers make toilet paper stronger, not softer, although he said Georgia Pacific may have added extra fibers for softness. (AP)
