There have been shortages in the past for many different products that people use every day, but no one ever thought they would see a waffle shortage. Until now, that is.
Kelloggs has reported that we are currently experiencing a shortage of their Eggo brand waffles, a favorite breakfast treat for many families. The shortage was caused by several of their main plants that produce the Eggo waffles having been shut down for various reasons. One plant in Atlanta was shut down due to a storm for an undisclosed period of time in September 2009. Many production lines in a plant in Tennessee have been shut down until repairs can be made.
Kelloggs does not have an exact time that Eggo waffles will be stocked as usual at your local grocery store, but they estimate that it will be sometime in the summer of 2010.
For now, it is suggested that if you must have your Eggo’s, you might need to ration them out. Buy them up while you can, and try to make them last.
The singer and sister of the late Michael Jackson recently spoke out about her brother’s death.
She says that not only is Dr. Conrad Murray to blame for the untimely death, but he should no longer be allowed to practice medicine.
During a special In the Spotlight interview with ABC News, Janet revealed to Robin Roberts, “He was the one that was administering. I think he is responsible.”
Dr. Conrad Murray, who was the King of Pop’s personal physician, is the focus of an ongoing investigation for manslaughter for Michael’s death on June 25 this year. Michael Jackson died at the age of 50 following an overdose of propofol. Murray has confessed to administering the drug to his client, but denies giving him anything that could have killed him. “I will be fine. I have done all I could do. I told the truth,” said Murray about the investigation.
Janet Jackson also revealed how difficult it’s been to deal with her brother’s death.
She explained, “It’s been a tough year. You have your days where it’s just really — it’s hard to believe. And a day doesn’t go by that I don’t think about him.”
She added, “It’s still so difficult for me to believe. It’s, you know, you have to accept what is. But it’s hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that.”
The singer also revealed that she had seen her brother just two days before his death. She recalled that he was very happy and they laughed a lot together that day.
Wednesday, November 18, 2009 – A 90 year old man has been charged with a massacure that happened in the final months of World War Two.
The war crimes came out after a University of Vienna student Andreas Forster, had done some researching on the massacre of March 1945 and discovered some documents that had Storms name on them. Forster then passed the information to Duisburg state prosecutors.
Adolf Storm an ex-SS Sergeant is being charged with murdering fifty-eight Jews. It was said that he marched fifty-seven forced Jewish labourers to a near by forest by the village of Deutsch Schuetzen, Austria. The Jews were then forced to kneel by a large grave and then shot in the backs. Adolf is also being accused of killing a labourer who had collapsed during the march to the grave side.
When the war had ended Storms interned in a US prisoner of war camp briefly. He then was able to return to his home in Duisburg, Germany, where he has resided the past sixty years.
The charges against him in the case is led by Ulrich Maass who also is prosecuting the trial of 88 year old Heinrich Boere who is charged with shooting 3 Dutch resistance fighters.
The court documents say “ On March 29, 1945, the accused and his accomplices brought at least 57 Jewish forced labourers in several groups to a nearby forest area, where they had to surrender their valuables and kneel by a grave. The accused and other SS members then cruelly shot the Jewish forced labourers from behind.”

Many actors and actresses in Hollywood have to worry about everything they do or say and are often compared to other people in the industry. Megan Fox, however, seems to be an exception to the rule.
The media has a habit of comparing Megan Fox to Angelina Jolie. While most women would take this as a compliment, Megan Fox does not. She claims that Angelina Jolie is too serious and stoic and that she wants to be the exact opposite of that. At 23 years old, that makes sense.
What doesn’t make sense is Megan Fox almost referring to herself as talentless. She said she always wanted to act since she was a child, but didn’t think she was actually any good at it. Luckily for her, a self-fulfilling prophecy has worked out. Not only is she one of the hottest stars in Hollywood, but she gets to have fun with the media with her often outlandish quotes. They take her seriously, but she is most likely just entertaining herself.
Whether Megan Fox will follow the same footsteps as Angelina Jolie is yet to be determined. However, we do know that Megan Fox will offer an unpredictable and entertaining journey.
It’s a dog’s life – especially if you happen to be a yellow Labrador retriever named Leo, the companion of ex-NFL great Joe Namath. The problem of being the pet of a sports celebrity is that people are constantly entering Leo’s yard. Leo, doing what comes naturally to dogs, deters them with barking, lunging and, unfortunately, biting.
After four incidents of biting strangers since 2007, a Florida judge has officially declared Leo a danger to society. Leo was spared euthanasia, which is a common sentence given down to dogs in bite cases. But if Leo bites one more person, the Judge says Leo will be destroyed.
Leo will have to spend the rest of his days behind a locked door when people come to Namath’s home. Whenever Leo is outside – even in his own yard – he must wear a muzzle to prevent him from biting. Leo is now denied walks outside of Namath’s property although he is allowed to travel in Namth’s vehicles and to go to a veterinarian.
Namath, loyally defending his canine comrade, said that Leo never would have bitten anyone if there weren’t so many trespassers on his property. Namath has also claimed that strangers have deliberately teased Leo and his other dog, a Weimaraner named Stella.
In the past week the Dalai Lama’s visit to the disputed region of Arunachal Pradesh has increased tensions between India and China. The exiled Tibetan leader’s visit drew the ire of China who disagrees with the Dalai Lama’s separatist views regarding Tibet. China controls Tibet but the Dalai Lama and his followers want the Chinese out so Tibet can be free.
The Dalai Lama was in the Himalayan town of Tawang holding prayer meetings and teaching sessions with followers in the town along the frontier border with Chinese-controlled Tibet. The Dalai Lama’s visit has angered China and increased tensions between India and China, as the weeklong visit is in a region that India and China both claim as their own.
In 1962 China and India fought a border war over two disputed regions that both sides claim ownership over. Arunachal Pradesh is one of the two regions that China and India have disputed for decades. Since 1962 tensions between China and India have ebbed and flowed, but the Dalai Lama’s recent visit is the latest in a string of incidents that has raised tensions in the region.
In response to China’s condemnations of the visit, India has stated that the Dalai Lama is an honored guest and free to visit any part of the country. The Dalai Lama has resided in India since 1959 when he was exiled from Tibet during the Chinese takeover.

In his speech on November 6 to the Royal College of Defense Studies, Prime Minister Gordon Brown attacked the President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai of lacking support from his own countrymen evidenced by the continuing deteriorating conditions in Afghanistan.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown is himself facing similar constraints from his own countrymen which he has determinedly continued to ignore. The Prime Ministers conditions for deploying further British troops are evidence of his act as an emperor without clothes acting as if he is dressed. These are the conditions that Gordon Brown has said must be met before he will send 500 additional troops:
The British troops must take with them military equipment suitable to meet their needs in Afghanistan, NATO must assume a greater military presence, and the Afghanistan government must send more of their own troops to fight with the foreign contingent.
Gordon Brown was attacked for not understanding that the British presence of 9,500 troops are there only as a token to the American presence there.
A Poised Taylor Swift During An Awkard Moment
MTV experienced its usual moment of controversy at the VMA’s. The first award of the night was presented to Taylor Swift for Best Female Video Award. Swift was in the process of giving her acceptance speech when Kayne West ruined her moment by grabbing the microphone and rudely interrupting her. He is quoted as saying “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time!” A stunned and shocked Swift did not finish her speech. West was then removed from the show.
Later in the show, Beyonce was awarded Video of the Year. Beyonce remembers that she won, at the age of 17, her first VMA award. Beyonce is quoted as saying “I remember how excited I was, I’d like Taylor to come out and have her moment.” Swift then came on stage and finished her speech.
Reaction to West’s behavior was immediate. The crowd booed every time his name was mentioned as a nominee. Public outrage has also been expressed through the media and internet. Celebrities have been voicing their opinions through Twitter.
West later posted on his blog admitting he was wrong and saying he was “sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom.” The blog was removed the next morning.
It is speculated that this could be a publicity stunt to generate online buzz for MTV. Regardless of the motives, West’s stage invasion has not generated positive publicity for him.
