After finishing up with Lithuania (91-86), Slovenia (81-66) and Ukraine (119-64) USA’s Under-21 Team throttled Team Texas 104-62. Now they’ll be traveling to Argentina to get ready for their first game next Friday against China.
I think this team has a legitimate chance of doing better than those NBA All-Stars who either forgot how or don’t [...]

Brice Mellen is a whiz at video games such as Mortal Kombat. In that regard, the 17-year-old isn’t much different from so many others his age.
Except for one thing: He’s blind.
Read the whole Wired story called Blind Teen Gamer Obliterates Foes. It’s just amazing that when one part of the human body grows weak, [...]

Don’t know how many of you saw Japan’s newest technology marvel, the Repliee Q1. Here’s what the BBC has to say about “her.” Someone really need to post a video because I hear it’s very lifelike, but it’s going to be years before she’s anywhere near affordable.

I used to create wallpapers all the time. Don’t know if I lost my muse or what. Here’s one I made a few years ago called Aquasphere. It’s available for download in the following dimensions: 1600×1200, 1280×1024 or 1024×768.
Hope you enjoy it!

We all know that politicians have an inborn character trait that allows them to say almost anything while believing some, all or none of their own words. Sen. Schumer has been extremely “gifted” in this foreign language called political speech.
Lately he and Leahy have been calling for Supreme Court nominee John Roberts to consider Roe [...]

America voted and here were the bottom three.
I guessed two out of the three yesterday and wasn’t too surprised to see Heather added since she didn’t have her best stuff. After hearing each of them do their INXS song, it was pretty clear that Jessica’s Elegantly Wasted was the strongest. What wasn’t expected was that [...]

Just posted a day or so ago about the USA under-21 team and then Martelli finalizes the roster faster than he said he would. Good news is that Rajon Rondo made the squad. Big props to the hard working guard from the University of Kentucky.
The championships run from Aug. 5-14 in Mar del Plata, Argentina.

Since Day 1, I’ve thought that Ty and Mig were the strongest competitors for actually getting the gig. Some of the others are talented people, but aren’t a good fit for the band, in my opinion. As of last night, I feel pretty good about my early predictions.
So let’s rundown this week’s full bill:
Bottom of [...]

We don’t post on personal matters much here at 21st Century Paladin but I wanted to make sure and thank everyone who has been praying for us. After losing our last two children (#3 and #4) to miscarriage, it’s a true blessing to have this child (#5) make it to the 12 week mark. Our [...]

This episode could have been called, The Bold and the People Who Want to Kill J.D. It began with a big cryfest for voted out Neal. Seems the Black Crows routine got old but tears? Real tears?!?
Next we got to peek in on J.D.’s move-making. He got Jordis alone and started in with the sweet [...]
