I've seen all these and more, and have entered some of them. So now the burning question is have I won any? Yes! I've won at least one that I can think of. It was a cute crochet baby hat for my daughter.

BTW, speaking of unelected thugs, the White House Science Czar, Mr. Holdren, out of his deep concern for the environment, has in the past, peddled the idea we must limit human population by any means if we hope to save the earth. Those means: forced abortions, massive sterilzation programs, global enforcement police.

This is a real hidden gem twarm hats for men you need to revisit. Remember that when the FBR Open isn't in town, this is a tremendous venue for golf and dining 350 days a year. During evening hours, you'll find white linen tablecloths and top-notch beef, chops and seafood. But the Grill is casual enough that you can come in anytime in golf attire and enjoy sandwiches and expertly prepared cocktails. It's also a hot spot for the "ladies who lunch" crowd. Secure a table near the bank of windows fronting the 18th green, the scene of all those great Phoenix Open moments. I can see Mickelson's kids running out to hug their daddy after he secured the win in 2005. The lobby is full of U.S. Open memorabilia and plaques. 17020 N. Hayden Road, Scottsdale. (480) 585-4334.

Defenses I like? San Diego is money against Oakland. The Raiders were blanked last week and they'll be under 10 this week. The Jets should be strong against Miami. Baltimore could do a number on Denver.

I mean, the other night when I was outside repositioning my sump pump hose in my fashionable sweats and a shower cap, I carelessly threw on a pair of frumpy mukka boots, saying to the sister, "Gee, hope there are no paparazzi lurking about". Heck the other day, I took a chance and went through the bank's drive-up window with mismatched socks. Give these poor stars a break. They can't be perfect all the time.

Durability: This one also requires you to ask yourself what these boots will be used for. Play time or dress up? Again, if your child will be playing in these boots and running around outside you should look for durable and lasting materials.
