The search for a missing college student has turned into a homicide investigation after her body was apparently found. One thing I have noticed over the last 24 hours is that the main stream media is starting to refer to Emily Sander/Zoey Zane as an ‘Internet Porn Performer’ rather than a ‘Porn Star’ (or poan stah depending on who you are talking to ). That’s probably a good thing a tiny bit closer to the truth. The truth is that she had done some photographs on the Internet to make money. Nothing I would even consider porn except in the most prudish manner. Nekked pictures are nothing to get all hot and bothered over, at least in this sense.

All police are saying is that the preliminary physical description of the body found Thursday about 50 miles east of El Dorado matches that of Emily Sander who was seen leaving a bar there a week ago with a man who stayed in a hotel room where police apparently found large quantities of blood. An autopsy was scheduled for yesterday but I have as yet to hear the final results from that.

They also won’t give any details about the state of the body or how it was found. El Dorado Police Chief Tom Boren said that the cause of death was not yet known.

The case itself has drawn very wide attention after it was revealed that she appeared on several different web sites under the name Zoey Zane. Most of the pictures just show her scantily clad or fondling herself. Hell, what’s wrong with fondling yourself. If I could do it and get paid for it, I might have a new career myself, but hopefully not as a dead person.

I digress. Emily Sander’s boyfriend, who is 20, said that Sander moved in with him when she was 17. He helped her finish high school and she encouraged him in college. They broke up just two months ago after she started doing the nude photos.

Emily wanted to choreograph music videos and the Internet thing was just to gain a bit of exposure and make some extra money.

All of our condolences go out to the Sander family as they have to deal with this tragedy.

So have you read about Gillian Gibbons yet? She is a teacher in Sudan at a private school popular with wealthy Sudanese and expatriates and for a school project in which she was teaching about animals and their habits she had a stuffed bear which she asked the students to name. The decided on Mohammed, most likely in honor of their prophet. The Sudanese government and it’s shitheel citizens don’t agree however and some of them even want her executed. WTF? Execute her because her class named a stuffed bear Mohammed?

Leaflets distributed earlier this week by Muslim groups condemned Gibbons as being an infidel and accused her of polluting their children’s mentality by her actions. I guess had she been teaching them how to make bomb vests they would have given her a medal…

One of the things we discussed in our five hour meeting on Thursday evening (can’t get enough of those!) was Christmas decorations in the stores. I am going to have to make sure that my managers follow our instructions over the next couple of weeks and pull down anything that isn’t appropriate. With the fact that our kitchens are right out there in the open we have to be very careful as to what gets hung up. No lighting strung from weird places, no garland, etc…They are allowed to put window clings on the globe lights but NOT on the windows, and a small tree is acceptable. I already know one of the managers has gone out and spent $60 on a tree that’s taking up way too much room in her store. I am interested in seeing if they make her take it out.

I figured we could get a table top tree for each of my stores and put it on the utility cart out by the jukebox and just put a larger skirt or tablecloth on it to cover the cart. That way it’s not in the way and not likely for anyone to trip over and hurt themselves.

Evel Knievel, the daredevil motorcyclist who jumped Snake River Canyon died today at the age of 69. His death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He has been in poor health for several years, suffering from diabetes as well as pulmonary fibrosis.

Here is the failed jump that made him truly ‘America’s Daredevil’

Back in the seventies Evel was my hero, failed jumps and all, simply because he kept trying to win and wouldn’t give up.

Martins is a full-service Toronto florist that is celebrating 110 years of being open on December 1st with an open house. It’s not often anymore to find great businesses that are family operated any more, particularly one that has been operating for five generations as Martins, The Flower People have.

The current owner is Lynn Martin and is helped by her son Ryan Martin. Having been in business so long they know exactly what they are doing and how to give folks the products that they want, when they want them.

The open house will take place from 12pm – 6pm and you will be able to view Martin’s exclusive flower designs and enjoy special discounts for attending as well as homemade treats while you are there. If you are interested in going, here’s the map:

With a proven history of delivering on-time quality arrangements using innovative products they are able to offer world-wide delivery with same day service to Canada as well as the United States.

Here is a centerpiece from Martins’…

I love plants and flowers and anyone that hangs out here every once in awhile gets to see photos I have taken. I am not particularly knowledgeable about any kind of flora but I know what I like and that’s a beautiful centerpiece.

The Martins Exclusives that you can have delivered for any occasion are just as wonderful if not more so, and with delivery available across North America there is no reason not to get the best.

One of the things that keeps the floral designs from Martins so fresh and up to date is the fact that they follow decorating trends and keep up with the latest and greatest. In addition to being able to order them online you can also visit their web site to obtain decorating tips and great information. With the month of December being so imminent everyone is looking for Christmas floral designs and Martins is the place to look.

Authorities in North Georgia arrested a woman and her boyfriend on child cruelty charges after the woman’s 9-year-old son was found bound and gagged with duct tape in a closet.

I figured she must have seen my video for Duck Buddies 🙂 Her mistake was in putting the child in the closet. Just put the little shit out on the back porch where he can get some fresh air, or lock him somewhere he can breathe but can’t be heard by inspectors, like the basement…

Thank goodness. I am physically exhausted. I feel like it anyway. My last day off was the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving and this has just been one long-assed week. I wish I could say it was going to be a short day but with my weekly meetings and the fact that I have an interview and orientation session with a new girl this afternoon it looks to be about a fifteen hour day.

I am taking off tomorrow as well as at least half a day Saturday. I would have taken the entire day off but both of the other District Managers are off this weekend and we are not supposed to overlap. I am not sure if my boss just doesn’t look at the itineraries that we turn in or if he just doesn’t want to antagonize the ladies. Either way I will show up for work on Saturday and make sure everyone is staffed. I will most likely get out of there by nine or ten.

We are also participating in the Temple Christmas Parade and I think I will take the girls down to ride with me. I know they will have a pretty good time. The wife doesn’t seem to have an interest in going, so it will give her a break away from the girls anyway. She doesn’t get into the Christmas spirit very much anyway. It’s funny because I do and love it, yet I’m the one that has to work his ass off through the holidays while she’s on vacation.

Got my new idiot, er…manager yesterday. The guy just ain’t too bright but as long as he can cook and treats his employees better than the last two we will do just fine. I can be patient and teach him the rest over time. If they would just let me pick my own managers we would be so much better off but I would be hiring them out of the ranks of our hourly employees which seems to be something they are frowning on. They prefer folks with at least a four year degree and if they went to Tech, that much the better. Most of them are a bunch of damn pansies that are scared of hard work.
