Big Brother 11 pandora's box

Big Brother 11 pandora's box
Afternoon in the Big Brother House and leisurely talk amoung house guests. A 2:42pm BBT, the live feeds came back! The Mystery of the HOH Door is now solved! It was a luxury comp, that could have some consequences.
Natalie said "So it was $10,000 to split between the house, Kev?"
Jordan: (to Jeff) "How much do you think you grabbed?"
Jeff: "$1,000?"
Jordan: "Noo.."
Kevin: "I thought the money looked fake at first!"
Jordan: "I grabbed like 5 or 6 $100's. The pool filter had, like.."
Kevin: "That was so much fun!! They said once you make the choice to go in that door...someone grabbed my arm and I screamed like a little bitch! Then they handcuffed me."
It was the mystery door! Kevin said he heard something behind the door. Kevin: "There's a whole room behind that door!!" Kevin said that BB gave him a "choice". Jeff is saying that Natalie was being greedy during the luxury comp. He also said something about "opening Pandora's box". Natalie is out of the Diary Room. Jeff: "What up, SNAKE?!" Natalie: "That was $10 G's in the backyard??? Didn't look like it.." They think something is still up & that Natalie knows something.

Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 winners

Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 winners
The Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 winners were a little surprising last night. The Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 winners had some usual suspects, but the Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 winners had some relatively new names and shows in the mix. At least two of the major Emmy Awards
choices, as the Daytime Emmy Awards put on a big show - even if it ended a little too late for the CW's liking.
The biggest Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 winner of the night was The Bold and the Beautiful, which won its first Best Drama Series Emmy, and the first for a CBS program in 22 years. However, the Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 were held on the CW, so by the time The Bold and the Beautiful cast and crew got their awards, it was 10 pm EST and the CW stopped their broadcast. The CW didn't have the same patience for late awards show as other networks do - but it blacked out the acceptance speeches of the major Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 winners, nonetheless. The Daytime Emmy Awards are already likely to get lousy ratings for being on the CW, no matter when it ended.
But the actual Daytime Emmy Awards 2009 winners hardly cared about ratings. In addition to The Bold and the Beautiful's upset, a major upset took place in the Best Talk Show Host category. Ellen DeGeneres had held that honor for the last four years, but she was dethroned by the ladies of The View - who weren't even in attendance. In addition, Guiding Light had one last Daytime Emmy Award winner, as Jeff Branson tied for the Best Supporting Actor award with Vincent Irizarry of All My Children. Guiding Light was also part of a major tribute from the Daytime Emmy Awards 2009, as its final episode approaches on September 18.

Hurricane Jimena

Hurricane Jimena
Hurricane Jimena, off mainland Mexico, has intensified overnight and is classified as a Category 4 storm, with sustained winds of about 135 mph. At 8 a.m. Sunday its center was located 515 miles south-southeast of Cabo and was tracking to the northwest (see graphic below) at about 9 mph. The National Hurricane Center predicts it will skirt the Baja California peninsula before making landfall Tuesday night in the Magdalena Bay area. It will deliver plenty of much-needed rain, but might also cause extensive flooding.
The region desperately needs rain. Cattle are perishing and some residents in Los Cabos and throughout Baja California Sur are being given running water only once or twice a week. (Running water is not an issue for hotel guests.) The storm might also lead to temporary port closures. Eric Bricston, who runs Gordo Banks Pangas out of San Jose del Cabo, said via e-mail: "This storm does look dangerous and most likely on Monday morning we will have to haul all of the pangas [skiffs] out of the marina docking area up to the houses. A lot of heavy work, but it is better to be safe than sorry."
Jimena was located about 305 miles south of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, and about 550 miles south-southeast of the southern tip of Baja, California. The storm’s winds increased to near 115 mph (185 kph) with higher gusts. It was moving northwest at 12 mph. Forecasters expected the center of the storm to move parallel to the west coast of Mexico. Hurricanes of Category 3 or higher on the five-step Saffir-Simpson intensity scale are considered “major” and are the most destructive type.
