Britney Spears showed the extent of her mental problems as she was admitted to hospital - by angrily accusing her mother of sleeping with her boyfriend.Insiders say that when she first went in she was “hurling profanities” at her parents and the staff of L.A.’s UCLA Medical Center.

But most amazingly she started screaming at her mum Lynne, accusing her of “sleeping with my boyfriend”.

Although she did not say who she was referring to, Spears is currently dating Birmingham paparazzo Adnan Ghalib.

Another day, another drama: Britney Spears, shopping for Red Bull at 5am yesterday morning, has been taken to a LA hospital for psychiatric care

However it is not the first time the troubled star - currently getting emergency psychological help - has made such claims.

She has previously accused her mum of getting too close to Britney’s ex-husband Kevin Federline, using her delusions in part as a basis for her rift from her family.

Insiders told U.S. media that Britney said she was on Adderall, a stimulant used to treat Attention Deficit Disorder, when she was admitted.

And she also admitted to taking up to ten laxatives a day, having previously been caught buying laxatives on her regular shopping trips.Sick Britney is under 24-hour supervision in a psychiatric ward where screams can be heard through the night, according to a US report.

The pop princess apparently cannot even bathe by herself and is forced to wear the mandatory green robe and hospital wristband.

Patients at the UCLA Medical Center psych ward are reportedly given doses of sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medication, with doctors regularly asking if they are suffering feelings of self-harm.She is believed to be on a “mental health evaluation hold” on the orders of her psychiatrist, who works out of the UCLA Medical Center.

The medic reportedly visited her earlier in the evening, and was alarmed at her reckless driving and her conduct, and felt her condition had deteriorated.

The psychiatrist decided Britney needed to be hospitalized on a 5150 hold, which means she is considered a danger to herself and others.

A former patient of the UCLA psychiatric ward told X17online.com that the ward was a “tough” environment to live in, with patients getting agitated and screams ringing out throughout the night.

Fights apparently break out in the common area on some occasions - due to paranoia and the fact that many people there are detoxing.

The source said that Britney will be held in the ward for at least 72 hours, and up to 14 days if she is still deemed to be dangerous.

Nurses and security guards supervise the patients around the clock and visitors are allowed to come for just one hour a day during the week - between 6.30pm and 7.30pm.

LAPD: the operation had been carefully planned, according to reports

At weekends the visits are extended to between 1pm and 3pm.

The psychiatric ward consists of two wings, with 10 rooms in each - most of which have two beds in. None of the rooms have televisions, but there is a TV in the communal area.

According to the source, patients are divided into two categories - addicts and bi-polars - with the highest risk people being restrained by wristbands in their beds.

Fears: Britney’s father Jamie arrived at the UCLA Medical Centre following Britney’s hospitalisation

Most of the patients are apparently between 18 and 50-years-old, and they are kept entertained with activity groups and newspapers.The source claims Britney will be encouraged to sleep as much as possible for the first few days, and will be given sleeping pills and anti-anxiety meds to help her do so.

After that, she will reportedly be put on Depakote Seroquel and Lithium for the bi-polar disorder, and Ativan for anxiety.

Britney will allegedly not be allowed outside for the first 72 hours. After that she can visit and outdoor court for one hour a day.

The source said doctors will visit Britney once a day and ask her questions such as “Are you able to sleep?”, “Are you hearing voices?”, “Are you paranoid?”

The medics will also apparently ask if she thinks about self-harm or committing suicide.

Spears was taken to the Los Angeles hospital by ambulance to be put under psychiatric care for the second time this month.

She was taken to the Medical Centre around 1.30am after a carefully staged intervention planned by her mother, with the police calling ahead to waiting medics with the message: “The package is on its way.”

Britney is on a three-day psychiatric hold, but sources say there is a “good possibility” that it will be extended to 14 days.

A source told Mail Online that Britney’s trip to UCLA was the result of a meticulously planned “snatch and grab” intervention led by her mother Lynne.

“She had no idea it was coming,” said the source, adding: “Lynne planned it down to the last detail.”

Controversial figure: Britney’s mother is desperate to remove Sam Lutfi from her daughter’s life

When Britney heard she was being taken into care, she said: “Is something wrong?” and insiders say she was too “out of it” to resist.But she then reportedly made herself a hot chocolate while she waited for the paramedics to arrive. She was strapped to a hospital trolley before being carried into the ambulance.

Co-heading Lynne’s team of helpers, says the source, was Britney’s father Jamie and her brother Jamie, along with representatives from Britney’s legal team and record label Jive Records.

Contrary to reports, Mail Online understands that Lynne was fully aware the psychiatrist was planning to force Britney into treatment.

“She did everything in her power to get Britney away from her boyfriend Adnan, but most of all from Sam Lutfi,” said the source.

Lutfi, Britney’s “manager”, has been a controversial figure in the star’s life over the past year, and her friends and family have regularly expressed concerned over his influence.

Adds the source: “He has been controlling her at every turn and they needed to put a stop to it.”

“Lynne’s opinion is that it has gone on long enough. She needs to get Lutfi out of Britney’s life - and by whatever means necessary.”

In recent weeks, Lutfi has been reaching out to influential U.S. media outlets, desperately trying to improve his image.

He even tried walking hand in hand with her on the street following Britney’s meltdown on Monday night.

On guard: police arrived at the pop star’s LA home amid fears she might kill herself

But Lynne, whose hatred of Lutfi reached a peak of intensity late last year when she discovered he was attempting to sell her private diary to media outlets, was visibly disgusted at his attempts to play nice for the cameras.”No matter how hard he tries, the family hates him,” the source added.

However, according to one report out of the US, Lutfi is still attempting to control the decisions regarding her medical care. And the doctors at the UCLA are including him in the decision-making process, much to the disgust of Lynne and Britney’s father Jamie.

Lutfi is also still making statements to the media on Britney’s behalf.

“She went willingly. It was like something in her heart was telling her she should go. She knew something was wrong”, he told People magazine.

Britney was sectioned under code “5150″ - the emergency services’ way of indicating she is considered a danger to herself and others.

It had been feared early this morning that Britney had attempted suicide, but sources have since denied she attempted suicide.

It appears the operation had been in planning for a number of days and vehicles were blocked from following the same route as the emergency services convoy, which included 30 police cars and several police motorbikes.

Britney’s mother, Lynne, who reunited with her daughter earlier this week after months of estrangement, best friend Alli Sims and Lutfi were all at the property when police and ambulance arrived.

The hospitalisation came after Britney’s psychiatrist visited the star and recommended she be temporarily committed on the basis she poses a danger to herself and to others, according to reports.

Britney, who is being treated for bipolar disorder, had not slept in days was seen driving blindly around in a new Mercedes saloon two days before the intervention.

At one point, she became lost and asked a photographer for directions using an English accent.

A U.S. report claimed she had been on a three-day binge using the deadly addictive drug crystal meth in the time leading up to the stand-off over her children. “Britney was high on meth and naked all day before,” a source said.

Lost: days before being taken away, Britney was driving erractically and asked photographers for directions in an English accent after losing her way

“Even when losing her boys became an issue, she didn’t stop. After the boys were taken from her, Britney went on another drug binge, using crystal meth almost every day for an entire week.”Her psychiatrist is said to have ruled she should be treated under a 5150 hold, the same order that led to her being forcibly taken from her house on a stretcher earlier this month after a three-hour stand-off with police during which she locked herself in the bathroom with one of her sons.

Her visitation rights were stripped following the incident.

Lynne, who followed the convoy to hospital in a car along with her friend Jackie (who she is currently staying with in LA) - and boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, flew into Los Angeles from her home in Louisiana on Monday, where she reunited with her daughter after an ongoing rift.

The pair have been estranged since last summer, when they reportedly fell out over Britney’s children.

Sources say Britney went to hospital willingly, but earlier this month, she allegedly threatened to commit suicide if she is forced into psychiatric care.

She reportedly told a friend: “They’re not sending me to the nut house! No one can make me go - and I’m not going.

“I’ll kill myself before I let them lock me up again. So tell Mama and Daddy I said so. Oh my God, it’s over for me.”

Britney has been in a highly public downward spiral since filing for divorce from Federline in November 2006.

Her bizarre antics include shaving her head bald, attacking a car with an umbrella and bringing along a paparazzo pal on trips to a courthouse in her child custody case.

On April 26, 1986 the city of Chernobyl in Russia, a city of about 12,500 inhabitants, suffered a major disaster when a nuclear reactor exploded releasing several tons of radiation into that area. The city was completely evacuated but many of it’s former inhabitants, especially the children continue to suffer from this epidemic often dubbed as one of the most catastrophic accidents of our time. If you click on the picture above it will take you to a website that will play a slide show with photographs of the victims.

The irony of the whole thing is that even though the area sustained a massive amount of radiation and toxic chemicals it has completely rebounded since the absence of people. Nature has come and reclaimed the area and animals there are experiencing a population boom. Go figure…

1) ”That looks cute.”
For the most part, men hate cute. We don’t want to hear about it, we don’t want to see it, and we sure as hell don’t want to be it. If we come down stairs after getting dressed and you tell us we look cute, there’s a 100 percent chance we’re changing. We’re supposed to be your protector, your rock, and cute does not fit into that picture.

2) ”We need to talk.”
These four words shut off a man’s brain faster than long division. When men hear you say that they immediately go into flight mode. And anything they can do to get out of this conversation—and better yet, your apartment—they will. There are plenty of other ways to approach a delicate conversation, and getting us in a place where we feel comfortable is a good start.

3) ”It’s just a game.”
Actually, it’s not just a game. Sports are a major part of our lives and the outcome has as much to do with our mood as just about anything else. Is it fair? No. Is it right? No. Is it immature? Maybe. But it’s life. Sometimes we just care too much. We understand that it doesn’t make sense, but you should be happy that we’re that passionate about something. Telling us that “it’s just a game” is like us telling you that Oprah’s just a talk show host.

4) ”Nothing’s wrong.”
Please don’t tell us nothing’s wrong. The look on your face could make the toughest guy on the planet weep like a third-grade girl and your arms are crossed so tight you might explode. We’re not mind readers; tell us what’s going on. And don’t make us guess because—believe me—you won’t like what we come up with.

5) ”I sound like my mom.”
The mere fact that you might turn into your mom someday scares the hell out of us. Don’t say it, even in jest—it’s not funny. We actually believe (and pray) that the saying “every woman ends up looking like their mother” is an old wives’ tale. If we didn’t, no one would ever get married.

6) ”I just want to be friends.”
No you don’t. You just want us to stop calling you. This is a lot like pulling off a band-aid. Do it quick—don’t prolong the agony. Most of us take “I just want to be friends” as “There’s still a chance,” so if there isn’t just make it a clean break and move on.  Everyone will be much better because of it.

7) ”Size doesn’t matter.”
Don’t lie to us. We know it does, and we’re doing our best to make up for it in other ways. It’s best just to not say anything at all.

8) ”What are you wearing?”
We’re wearing whatever’s clean or whatever you tell us to. We don’t plan out our wardrobe days in advance, but we do actually try and look presentable. It may not work a lot of the time, but we do give it a shot. Giving us direction is completely encouraged though, so go ahead and suggest … nicely.

9) ”Do you think she’s pretty?”
Of course we do, our standards are much lower than yours. But just because we check her out doesn’t mean we think any less of you. We try to be as discreet as possible, but for the most part, we can’t help it. It’s in our DNA. When an attractive woman walks by, it’s best to just pretend nothing happened.

10) ”Which outfit do you like better?”
I’m going to be honest here—90 percent of the guys out there are not going to tell you which outfit they like better: They’re going to try to pick the one you like better and not get into a holy war when the babysitter is due any minute. To us, you always look good. Getting a couple cocktails and spending as much time as we can without the kids is our ultimate goal for a rare night out.

Zeitgeist, the movie THEY don’t want you to see. I watched this movie and it really blew my mind. It opened my eyes to just how brainwashed and zombie-like the American public has become. We take everything that we see and hear from our government, the media, the church, and the radio as gospel. It disgusts me how much we are like drones. Wake up people! The time is now! Wake up before it is too late. Open your mind, open your eyes. Go to The Zeitgeist Website and watch the movie for yourself and form your own opinion.

Here is an interesting article that I found at Medgadget . What are they gonna come up with next?

Researchers at the University of Washington managed to embed an electronic circuit and LEDs directly into contact lenses, which seemed to look good on rabbit eyes. Though the circuit is not functional and the lights don’t light up, the development shows that future applications like direct video to the eye may indeed be possible.

The prototype device contains an electric circuit as well as red light-emitting diodes for a display, though it does not yet light up. The lenses were tested on rabbits for up to 20 minutes and the animals showed no adverse effects.

Ideally, installing or removing the bionic eye would be as easy as popping a contact lens in or out, and once installed the wearer would barely know the gadget was there, Parviz said. [Babak Parviz is a University of Washington assistant professor of electrical engineering --ed.]

Building the lenses was a challenge because materials that are safe for use in the body, such as the flexible organic materials used in contact lenses, are delicate. Manufacturing electrical circuits, however, involves inorganic materials, scorching temperatures and toxic chemicals. Researchers built the circuits from layers of metal only a few nanometers thick, about one thousandth the width of a human hair, and constructed light-emitting diodes one third of a millimeter across. They then sprinkled the grayish powder of electrical components onto a sheet of flexible plastic. The shape of each tiny component dictates which piece it can attach to, a microfabrication technique known as self-assembly. Capillary forces — the same type of forces that make water move up a plant’s roots, and that cause the edge of a glass of water to curve upward — pull the pieces into position.

The prototype contact lens does not correct the wearer’s vision, but the technique could be used on a corrective lens, Parviz said. And all the gadgetry won’t obstruct a person’s view.

“There is a large area outside of the transparent part of the eye that we can use for placing instrumentation,” Parviz said. Future improvements will add wireless communication to and from the lens. The researchers hope to power the whole system using a combination of radio-frequency power and solar cells placed on the lens, Parviz said.

What I’m gonna tell will not make you a millionaire. Hell, It won’t even make you a thousandaire. But what it will do is give you the ability to make an extra $500 a month. All you need to have is a blog, just like this one. I have come up with a formula to do this. Lets just call it Pog’s Formula for shits and giggles. So are you ready? Anyone? Anyone?

Well, I can’t tell you right here but I will give you the strategy if you send me an email to pog@pogsblog.com.

Any takers?

Okay here’s my take. First of all, let me point out that I’m unequivocally a supporter of Barack Obama and here’s why.

First, lets take politics out of the equation. It has been proven time and time again that a politician will say or do anything to get your vote and do the exact opposite afterwards. So as far as politics go I don’t trust any of the candidates as far as I can throw them. I’m looking at this strictly from a personality, gender, and race aspect. I grew up in a place where people are very honest about their feelings and motives, which is why living in “politically correct” Seattle is such a culture shock to me. On the East Coast people say it like they feel it and if you don’t like it then tough shit. That being said, yes the fact that Barack Obama is black contributes to my decision to support him. Now, it’s not just the fact that he’s black. If he was black and a worse idiot than GW I wouldn’t support him. But I think it’s safe to say that he’s not. The fact that he’s black brings to the table an entirely different perspective and experience all within itself. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that this country needs a fresh set of eyes. We have been dragged into a pre-emptive war and our economy is on a rapid decline. What we don’t need is more of the same, which is exactly what we’ll get if we elect Hillary Clinton.

If we elect Hillary we’ll get a woman and it’s no secret that women make decisions based on emotion. Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve seen the video clip of Mrs. Clinton crying on TV in a pathetic attempt to get votes because she was losing in the polls of the New Hampshire primary. Is that the type of strength we need to lead this country? I think not. Not only that but she’s just as inexperienced as the other 2. I really don’t think the fact that you were fucking the president qualifies as experience. If that’s the case, lets just elect Monica Lewinsky.

With John Edwards we’ll get another white male. Now I have nothing against Mr. Edwards. As a matter of fact I like him. I like his passion, his energy, and his anger when it comes to the issues. But once again, it’s more of the same. I mean, why should there be a monopoly on the presidency controlled by white men. I have nothing against white men but damn, can a brotha get a turn? Seriously, one black man is not going to fuck things up any worse than George W has for the last 8 years. I think Edwards would make an excellent Vice President and I hope Obama will run with him after he wins the democratic candidacy.

So is my support for Obama based on race? Partially, yes. I think that for once in the history of this country we need a minority president. Someone who can represent definitive change. I think Mr. Obama’s agenda of bringing everyone together is one that can begin to move us forward against the racism and bigotry that has torn this country apart for decades. I think his presidency will set a new precedence in this country and show the world that we are willing to change. Maybe we can get other countries to like us again, LOL.

Oh no, say it aint so. Does everybody’s favorite glamor queen have 6 toes? This picture has been circulating around the internet and while I’m not sure whether it’s totally true or a really good photochop I must say it’s pretty interesting!!!
