Smiling Is Infectious
Author Unknown
Smiling is infectious,
you catch it like the flu,
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner
and someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile,
then I realized its worth.
A single smile, just like mine
could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin,
don't leave it undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
and get the world infected!

The Australian pop singer the newest star to join up with Swedish fashion retailer Hennes and Mauritz, inspiring a limited swimwear line to debut in mid-May, the company said in a statement this week.Minogue, 38, didn't actually design the "H&M loves Kylie" beachwear line, but contributed ideas and will appear in ads.
The '60s-inspired collection is "all about summer indulgence, effortless chic and lots of fun!" Minogue said on her Web site.
The line includes blue-green bikinis, scarves, and a slinky silver swimsuit priced at $24.90.

Funny stuff...A diamond heist, a Bollywood dance routine and Mike Tyson make an unlikely combination.
But the former heavyweight boxing champion is set to groove to Indian pop music in a promotional video for "Fool and Final," an upcoming Bollywood comedy, the film's media consultant said Friday.
Tyson, 40, will shoot the promo in India, said N. Chattani, who is in charge of publicity for the movie's producer, Firoze Nadiadwala.
"It's finalized," Chattani said. "Tyson will be shooting the music promo with the entire cast.There's no telling what a $10 investment in U2 in 1985 would be worth today, but a start-up Web site called Sellaband is offering music fans the chance to put their money behind artists they think can climb the charts.
The Amsterdam-based company allows fans -- or what Sellaband calls "believers" -- to invest in unsigned acts in $10 increments. Once an act reaches $50,000, it is given access to a recording studio and professional production, song-writing and marketing expertise.
"What's hoped is that this will offer musicians, especially those who have never been able to get deals, a chance to do something they've never done before, and give them some kind of competitive edge," said Adam Sieff, the former head of jazz for Sony Music UK and Europe, who will work with Sellaband artists.
"It's not going to be the only way, but in a business that's desperate for a new business model, it gives musicians another opportunity, " Sieff said.
Investors will get a free copy of the CD, a cut of any CD sales and a share in the advertising revenue generated for the site, www.sellaband. com. Sellaband keeps 40 percent of any music publishing revenue, but none of the recording proceeds.
"If our plan is to take out the middleman, we should not act as a middleman," said Johan Vosmeijer, Sellaband's managing director, and a former Sony BMG executive .
A female-fronted Dutch goth-rock band called Nemesea is on the verge of becoming the first to reach the financing target, after two fans began dueling for a bigger piece of the action.
"It took them nine weeks to get to $25,000 and two more to get to $45,000," Vosmeijer said.
He said he has already been approached by a handful of venture capital firms interested in buying Sellaband, but that he and his partner intend to keep it independent.
About 600 singers and bands listed on Sellaband have raised $150,000 from 3,000 investors since the site launched on August 15. Fans are allowed to withdraw their investment or move it to another artist any time before a group reaches the $50,000 mark.
All funds are held in escrow until the threshold is reached, and the interest generated from the accounts goes to Sellaband.
Recording veterans have signed up to work with Sellaband because they think it can fill a void left by the industry consolidation that is siphoning profits back to parent companies instead of using them to develop up-and-coming talent.
"I feel the music business model doesn't work any more," said Tony Platt, producer of AC/DC's "Back in Black," who has signed up to advise Sellaband artists.
"What Sellaband is doing is democratizing music," he said. "It's finding a way that artists don't have to go the route of having to sell millions and millions of records, and hopefully will show that there are other ways of financing music and getting it out to people."

Authentic signed self portrait painted by Anna Nicole Smith posted on Ebay for 1.7millionMichael and Karolina Tomaro are locked in a court battle with Swedish authorities, which rejected their application to name their six-month-old child after the legendary rock band.
"It suits her," Karolina Tomaro, 27, said Tuesday of the name. "She's decisive and she knows what she wants."
Although little Metallica has already been baptized, the Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was associated with both the rock group and the word "metal."
Tomaro said the official handling the case also called the name "ugly."
The couple was backed by the County Administrative Court in Goteborg, which ruled on March 13 that there was no reason to block the name. It also noted that there already is a woman in Sweden with Metallica as a middle name.
The tax agency appealed to a higher court, frustrating the family's foreign travel plans.
"We've had to cancel trips and can't get anywhere because we can't get her a passport without an approved name," Tomaro said.
A restaurant chain under the "Girls Gone Wild" brand name is being planned by Joe Francis, whose Mantra Films Inc.'s has built a $100 million business videotaping and selling the DVDs featuring young women exposing their breasts. "This is going to be about fun, lifestyle, youth, sun. It's about everything 'Girls Gone Wild,'" Francis said. "It's going to be sexy without being sexual."
