I have to say the movie was very entertaining, the story lagged quite a bit, but the action was great, some of the effects were cheesy (kinda reminded me of the Evil Dead movies) They also replaced Rachel Weisz in the role of Evie O'Conner. which kind of threw the saga off a bit. I recommend it to anyone looking for an action movie, But Fans of the Mummy series might be a bit dissapointed.

Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Brian Bosworth is being hailed as a hero in Winnipeg, Canada after he came upon a car that crashed into a ditch and helped bring a woman trapped inside to safety.
Former Seattle Seahawk linebacker Brian Bosworth, happened to be in the right place at the right time when he helped emergency workers rescue a woman who flipped her SUV outside of of Winnipeg, Canada.
Bosworth, better known as "the Boz" during his short NFL career, intially was asked to carry equipment down to the paramedics, but it was clear they needed more manpower.
"She was screaming every time we moved her," Bosworth said. "It took five or six guys to get her into the ambulance." Bosworth was in the area because he and his son had gone on a fishing trip.
The Winnipeg Free Press reports:
"It looked like she rolled at least two or three times because the car ended up facing the opposite direction of oncoming traffic, upside down in the ditch," Bosworth said. ...
"She was in shock and in pain and we couldn't really move her. Her legs were pinned. We had to cut the steering wheel off. She was screaming every time we moved her," Bosworth said. "It took five or six guys to get her into the ambulance. "
"I see that a lot in the area, the highways aren't the greatest. They are not very forgiving highways. She's lucky. She just missed the guardrail to the river. This could have been really bad," [RCMP Sgt. Line] Karpish said
Bosworth was in the area because he and his son had gone on a fishing trip. The woman and her passenger were treated at a local hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening.

I was deeply saddened today to hear that the Tennessee Plowboy Eddy Arnold Died today. Only one week from his 90th Birthday. The man had staying power in the music business with 145 charted songs and 28 number ones (more than maria), As a child I thought his music was for my parents generation, but as I get older I can not ignore the talent this man had with his music lasting from 1945-1983, and the thing that kept him in it for so long is the total beauty of his voice. His wife of 66 years passed in March, I guess it is true what they say about couples who have been together for that long, one does not live much longer than the other.
Even if you didnt like Country or the "Nashville Sound" there is no denying his true gift. RIP Mr. Arnold...thank you for all you gave us.

Well, it passed! Oklahoma is no longer OK for Illegal Aliens........
It seems that at least one state has decided to take matters into it's
own hands, since the Federal Government keeps dragging it's feet on this
Illegal alien stuff and even reversing popular opinion on how to handle it.
BRAVO OKLAHOMA! (Too bad all politicians don't have the 'guts' to do
this)
Every State needs to do this!!!!
Oklahoma's Governor Brad Henry has signed a sweeping immigration
Reform bill: House Bill 1804, that its sponsor believes will go a long way
in dealing with the illegal alien problem in the state.
House Bill 1804 was passed by overwhelming majorities in both the
House and Senate of the Oklahoma Legislature. The measure's sponsor, State Representative Randy Terrill, says the bill has four main topical areas: it deals with identity theft; it terminates public assistance benefits to illegal; it empowers state and local police to enforce federal immigration laws; and it punishes employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens.
Oklahoma is no longer "O.K." for illegal aliens, Terrill observes.
"When you put everything together in context," he contends, "the bottom
line is illegal aliens will not come here if there are no jobs waiting for
them, they will not stay here if there is no government subsidy, and they
certainly won't stay here if they know that if they ever encounter our
state and local law enforcement officers, they will be physically detained until they're deported. And that's exactly what House Bill 1804 does."
The Oklahoma legislator is pleased the bill he sponsored into law was
signed by Governor Henry and believes it will go a long way to curb the
illegal immigration problem in the state. "I would remind people that
states are separate sovereigns in our federal system," Terrill points out.
"Anyone who doesn't understand that needs to go back and take an American federal government class in college," he says. As a result of that sovereignty, the Oklahoma lawmaker insists, "We have as much right - in fact, I would argue, a responsibility - to protect
our tax payers against that sort of egregious waste, fraud and abuse as the federal government should have a responsibility to protect that
international border, but doesn't do that."
Terrill says as long as the federal government refuses to do its job
of protecting the international borders of the United States, states like
Oklahoma must take action to deal with the problem that is costing
taxpayers in the state $200 billion a year in public benefits, law
enforcement costs, and other resources.
14 GOOD REASONS TO DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS
(websites provided for verification)
Hope these 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read by the majority of Americans. Then they will have something to yell at their U.S. Congress members.
$11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year. http://tinyurl.com/zob77
$2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such
as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.

education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of
English! http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.0.h

American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.

l
$200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by
the illegal aliens.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.

The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two
and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their
children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the United States http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0606/12/ldt.01.
html
During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that
crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from
Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroine
and marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border. Homeland Security Report: http://tinyurl.com/t9sht
The National Policy Institute "estimated that the total cost of mass
deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period."
http://www.nationalpolicyinstitute.org/pdf/deportation
.pdf
In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to
their countries of origin. http://www.rense.com/general75/niht.htm
So if deporting them costs between $206 and $230 BILLION DOLLARS,
Start getting rid of em.' We'll be ahead after the 1st year!!!

I have had this boiling inside me for a long time and it is long past time to let it out. Journalist's is it essential for you to stick the camera in the face of everyone who has just lost a loved one. No matter what network they work for they are all the same, I saw it again this morning with the woman who just lost one of her 4 year old twin daughters in an apartment fire, and the comment you got from her was not even worth you pestering this poor woman. Is there one among you that has any class left, there used to be certain things you just didnt do. But now you are no better than that tabloid idiot geraldo. Wake up people and show some common courtesy and leave these people alone and just report the news....and the news does not include what happened on American idol.
