WYCKOFF, N.J. — Twelve Jersey girls have shed their clothes to pose for a calendar to raise awareness about prostate cancer. Proceeds from “Stand By Your Man: 12 Women in Support of a Cure for Prostate Cancer” will go to the Prostate Cancer Coalition of New Jersey.

We humans love a good scare, don’t we? Remember Y2K? All the computers in the world were supposed to do horrible things, banks were going to topple, governments who depended on PCs for their defense systems would vaporize, and The Osmands threatened to come back to prime time TV... Fast forward to now. We’re on the precipice of the end of days: December 21, 2012. That’s when the cognoscenti are saying that the world, as we know it, will end. Right?

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is a calendar girl.

LOS ANGELES — Carrie Prejean Miss October in 2010 Conservative Women’s Calendar Carrie Prejean isn’t going away anytime soon. In fact, the controversially dethroned Miss California can be yours for an entire month of October in 2010. The Clare Both Luce Policy Institute, a conservative women’s group based outside of Washington, DC has just released its fifth annual Great American Conservative Women Calendar which features top women leaders in the Conservative Movement, and this time around Prejean’s face will be in the top spot. "I was so honored to be in the calendar as one of the great American conservative...

Aurignacian Lunar Calendar Photo ­- Anonymous / Don’s MapsThe Oldest Lunar Calendars and Earliest Constellations have been identified in cave art found in France and Germany.

Meet the Garrison Girls: Army wives recreate the WWII Vargas Girls images for nude calendar in honour of their husbands By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 21st August 2009 A group of military wives launched this full-frontal assault today - bravely baring all in a nude calendar in honour of their husbands.

Each artistic picture depicts the girls - who are all between 19 and 40 and have no previous modelling experience - posing with flags and...

Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders Unveil 2010 Swimsuit Calendar August 7, 2009   By Andy Kent MiamiDolphins.com Friday night on South Beach got about as hot as it could get - literally and figuratively when the 2009 Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders took to the runway in the courtyard of Casa Casuarina, formerly the Versace Mansion, for a fashion show and the unveiling of the 2010 Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders Swimsuit Calendar.   Monica Mason, Johanna Torres, Amy Madill and Fabiola Romero graced the cover of the new calendar and none of them knew that until the cover was unfurled from the balcony above...

A Common Date for Easter is Possible Contact: Juan Michel, World Council of Churches, +41-22-791-6153, +41-79-507-6363 media@wcc-coe.org MEDIA ADVISORY, May 28 /Standard Newswire/ -- The hope that all Christians will be able to celebrate Easter on the same day in the future was reaffirmed by an international ecumenical seminar organized by the Institute of Ecumenical Studies at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, 15 May.The problem is just about as old as the church itself: As Christianity started to spread around the world, Christians came to differing results on when to commemorate Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, due to the different reports in...

An academic maverick is challenging conventional wisdom on Canada’s prehistory by claiming an archeological site in southern Alberta is really a vast, open-air sun temple with a precise 5,000-year-old calendar predating England’s Stonehenge and Egypt’s pyramids. Mainstream archeologists consider the rock-encircled cairn to be just another medicine wheel left behind by early aboriginals. But a new book by retired University of Alberta professor Gordon Freeman says it is in fact the centre of a 26-square-kilometre stone “lacework” that marks the changing seasons and the phases of the moon with greater accuracy than our current calendar. “Genius existed on the prairies...

Just in time for February!

Sarah Palin has continued her quest for world domination with a 2009 calendar that has become a surprising bestseller. After a rollercoaster year that saw her fail in her US vice-presidential bid but become instead a grandmother and internet phenomenon, the Alaska Governor's 2009 calendar has emerged as the most popular office product on Amazon.com over the festive period. The calendar, which features 50 candid photos of Mrs Palin, 44, hunting and hanging out with her family, is selling at $15.95 (£11). Created by Judy Patrick, the former deputy mayor of Wasilla, Alaska - where Mrs Palin was mayor from...

2009 Krispy Kreme Calendar. Some REAL Voluminous Beauties on this calendar. A Ton of surprises with this calendar.

The media and Democrats might hate Sarah Palin, but her 2009 calendar is currently the number one best selling office product at Amazon.com. Just imagine how this must be galling liberal press members who can't understand her popularity. Of course, the cynic -- or the realist depending on your point of view -- might believe that media very much understand why she's so popular, and that's why they hate her so much. Regardless, some more pictures from her calendar are below the fold:

She didn’t make it to the White House, but CNN notes Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is a leader on Amazon.com’s best-seller list.

We have a long hard road ahead, share some presents with our online home, FREE REPUBLIC, and keep it going!

Not content with having won the White House and expanded its majorities in the House and Senate, the Left is now training its vitriol on ... a calendar. No joke. The same tolerance-worshiping Obama supporters who demanded change and got it are now suffering brain aneurisms from the mere existence of calendar celebrating (gasp!) conservative women. Less than twenty-four hours after the launch of the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute’s “Pretty in Mink” calendar, an onslaught of angry leftist bloggers unleashed a torrent of visceral hatred—aimed at everything from the calendar’s photography and makeup to the women’s physical appearance. The...

It would be great to have a good anti-Obama calendar. You could hang it in your cubicle to piss off commie co-workers. Or hang it on the wall in your home to piss off commie friends and relatives. Can anyone recommend good anti-Obama calendars?

New Sarah Palin Calender- 2009 Featuring exclusive photographs by professional photographer Judy Patrick, a long time resident of Wasilla, Alaska

The 2009 calendar includes images of gay men embracing on a church altar wearing nothing but dog collars, a transsexual crucifixion, and a naked angel striking a provocative pose in a cemetery.Other pictures show naked men within military scenes, including one gay model wearing only chains photographed in front of an army tank.Albert Marchena, 29, a private in the Spanish Air Force made headlines when in June 2006 he married a fellow private in the first same sex civil ceremony between military men in Spain. The couple have since split up but Mr Marchena says he is determined to continue...

God's true calendar not a 7-day cycle? Some Christians challenging system, say Sabbath 'floats' month to month Posted: August 22, 2008 10:35 pm Eastern By Joe Kovacs © 2008 WorldNetDaily Is it possible the entire world is just plain wrong when it comes to the current method of counting of days, weeks and months? At least two Christian women on the Pacific Coast think so, as they claim God's original calendar set into motion at Creation is not based on a continuous seven-day week. Their belief is that the "true" system of counting time is tied to what is called...

This now available from the U.S. State Department: "2009 Mosques of America Wall Calendar: Limited Edition for Ramadan." "Yep, you read that correctly. It's 'perfect for Muslim outreach efforts," according to a commentary at the Gates of Vienna blog. "Where's the ACLU on this one?" The product was being advertised by "Global Publishing Solutions," a division of the U.S. State Department, until bloggers started talking about the product. Officials then apparently hid the page behind the security of a password-protected wall. However, a number of sources said the "offering" still was available in a Google cache of the website. According...

The upper half of the hanging calendar depicts mosque facades or interiors, and the lower half displays a monthly calendar grid. The 28-page calendar is saddle-stitched and measures 23 x 30 1/2 cm (9 x 12 inches).

MONTREAL — Using pretty women to sell beer is not exactly a novel idea, but Molson finds itself under attack this week for a series of calendars featuring scantily clad Quebec "goddesses." The idea was to highlight the most beautiful women from five Quebec regions, and auditions were held to make the selections. In some cases the winners received a trip to Cuba for the photo shoot. The images (which you can see here, and are only marginally safe for work) are for the most part no racier than what one would find in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition (Mind you,...

SLIDESHOW: Look Inside Camouflage Pin-Up 2008 Reporting LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Twelve beautiful women, dressed only in paint brushed on by a world-renowned artist, posed for a 2008 pin-up calendar with the mission to raise awareness and money for wounded veterans and their families.

"Each year Manuela brings a bunch of beautiful women together and she has them body-painted and puts together a beautiful calendar to help support our wounded veterans," said former...

I'm looking for an alternative to Outlook, for a computer that runs Vista. I was disappointed that the OpenOffice "main" suite doesn't include a calendar. Has anyone used Chandler? What are your opinions, for a computer running Vista? What alternatives do I have? I'm looking for calendar and contact manager, not e-mail (because I'm using Windows Mail for that purpose). Thanks.

The New Calendar of People's Liberation Army

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 2008 – New Year’s resolutions frequently include good intentions, such as joining a gym, calling parents or organizing closets. But through its America Supports You program, the Defense Department is helping Americans resolve to support the nation’s servicemembers throughout 2008. America Supports You is a DoD program that connects citizens and corporations with military personnel and their families serving at home and abroad. It’s ringing in 2008 with a 12-month calendar suggesting ways to support the nation’s military men and women and their families each month. “Remembering the troops at a time when people are already setting...

I've been involved with the military since 1984. I've served with the 82nd Airborn Divison, 19th Special Forces Group and 145 FA as an FO. My civilian job is quite the opposite of this life, I work around women and make them look good (a hair stylist). I have a tiny little salon called Lucky Seven and I've been fortunate to have done hair for some rather famous models. My hobbies include building custom bikes and cars,photographing the custome car world.

MADRID, Spain — Spain's government-run Women's Institute has labeled a 2008 calendar for low-cost airline Ryanair featuring bikini-wearing air hostesses as sexist and said it would be sending letters of complaint to Irish and EU authorities. The institute, which defends women's rights, said that while the fact that the proceeds from calendar sales would go to charity was positive, the photographs "represent the stewardesses as sexual objects" and "reinforce discriminatory stereotypes."

MADRID, Spain - Spain's government-run Women's Institute has labeled a 2008 calendar for low-cost airline Ryanair featuring bikini-wearing air hostesses as sexist and said it would be sending letters of complaint to Irish and EU authorities. The institute, which defends women's rights, said that while the fact that the proceeds from calendar sales would go to charity was positive, the photographs "represent the stewardesses as sexual objects" and "reinforce discriminatory stereotypes."

SPOKANE, Wash. - They made a list, but they should have checked it twice. In a December newsletter to the families of elementary school students, Spokane Public Schools' list of "important dates" didn't include Christmas. Hanukkah, Human Rights Day, winter break, the Islamic holy day Eid al-Adha, first day of winter and Kwanzaa all made the list. But no Christmas. "It was absolutely an error of omission," district spokeswoman Terren Roloff said. "In our efforts to be inclusive, we missed the obvious." The omission drew complaints from some parents that in an age of political correctness, Christians are being overlooked...

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week kicks off By Michelle Malkin  •  October 22, 2007 10:46 AM   The irrepressible David Horowitz is the man behind Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, which kicks off today. The Left and the jihadi apologists are in a snit, of course, and you already know what the grievance hoaxers at GWU attempted to do in their effort to deflect attention away from our true enemies and smear the organizers and supporters of IFAW. The moonbats at Indymedia are calling on their minions to attack David’s campaign: Horowitz means what he says, and it’s not at all an idle threat. What’s...

19 July 2007, 12:08 Same-Faith communities in USA delighted with revival of Orthodoxy in Russia and Russian believers’ respect for ROCOR Moscow, July 19, Interfax - A delegation of the Old Belief clergy, who maintain canonical communion with the Russian Church Outside Russia, have completed their week-long visit to Russia. They visited the Moscow Kremlin, the Church of Christ the Saviour, St. Sergius’s Laura of the Trinity and Same-Faith parishes in Moscow. ‘We were struck by the incredible rebirth of Orthodox life, evident in each place we had an opportunity to visit. This has inspired us to persuade Bishop Daniel...

Calendar question over star disc Some observers have likened the disc to a winking face Archaeologists have revived the debate over whether a spectacular Bronze Age disc from Germany is one of the earliest known calendars. The Nebra disc is emblazoned with symbols of the Sun, Moon and stars and said by some to be 3,600 years old. Writing in the journal Antiquity, a team casts doubt on the idea the disc was used by ancient astronomers as a precision tool for observing the sky. They instead argue that the disc was used for shamanistic rituals. But other archaeologists who...

VATICAN CITY, APRIL 6, 2007 (Zenit.org).- It is likely that Jesus followed the calendar of the Essenes of Qumran, possibly explaining some contradictions within the Gospel accounts of the Passover, says Benedict XVI. The Pope made this observation Holy Thursday in his homily during the Mass of the Lord's Supper at the Basilica of St. John Lateran. In his address, the theologian commented on the historical investigations on the manuscripts of Qumran, found in the Dead Sea in 1947. "In the narrations of the Evangelists, there is an apparent contradiction between the Gospel of John, on one hand, and what,...

SYROS, Greece, APRIL 2, 2007 (Zenit.org).- It is a motive of great joy for many Christians that the Catholic and Orthodox Churches will celebrate Easter on the same day this year, says Bishop Franghiskos Papamanolis. The Catholic Church, following the Gregorian calendar, normally celebrates Easter earlier than the Orthodox Church, which follows the Julian calendar. This year the two coincide with the celebration of Easter on April 8. Bishop Papamanolis, president of the Greek Catholic episcopal conference, told ZENIT that the Catholic community in the country normally celebrates Easter on the same day as the Orthodox Church. He said: "To...

Miss January -- wearing only a G-string thong -- says she likes tattoos and Harley Davidsons. Miss July -- appearing in pink lingerie and a lab coat -- says she likes going to the beach but also the book Anna Karenina. Miss February likes taking naps, live music -- and "fun science demos." Like a Playboy pinup collection, this 2007 calendar features a dozen scantily clad models. But these students at the University of Illinois aren't your typical models. The women in the "Girls of Engineering" calendar were accepted to the Downstate campus' nationally ranked engineering program, where students on...

CLEVELAND, Ohio (CNS) – The gospel accounts of the Nativity (Matthew 1-2, Luke 1-2) do not say what day Jesus was born. There were attempts to calculate the day, but by the third century Christians realized this was impossible.So they tried other ways to determine a date for Jesus' birth: - Many people believed the world was re-created on the first day of spring (March 25 of the Julian calendar followed in ancient Rome). How appropriate, then, for the world's redeemer to become incarnate that day! - Other scholars argued that Jesus became incarnate not at his birth but at...

VATICAN CITY ? He already has been spotted as a fashion follower, from his signature shades and shoes, to his ermine trimmed velvet robes, but now Pope Benedict XVI is trying his hand at modeling for a 2007 calendar to come out later this month. "Together, a year with the pope," said the Italian Catholic weekly Famiglia Cristiana (Catholic Family) in announcing the calendar. The calendar features 14 original poses of the 79-year-old pontiff with his shock of white hair, taken during an entire day of shooting this summer at Castel Gandolfo, the pope's country residence near Rome. But not...

The Democratic National Committee moved to penalize 2008 presidential candidates who defied a new calendar designed to boost the Party’s image. On the new calendar, every day is a holiday. “We want people to associate the Democratic Party with good times,” said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. “What could be better than a continuous holiday? Every day will be a day off of work. People get to spend more time with their families. It’ll be great.” Under the plan, every day would be a secular holiday of some sort. “There are a lot of great presidents birthdays—Franklin Roosevelt, Harry...

VATICAN CITY (CNS) – Because of conflicts in the Catholic Church's liturgical calendar, the Vatican has decided that in 2008 the dates of the feasts of St. Joseph and of the Annunciation of the Lord will be moved. Working a year and a half in advance to meet the needs of publishers of church calendars, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments published its notification on the 2008 changes in mid-July. In 2008, if the feast of St. Joseph were to be celebrated as usual on March 19, it would fall on the Wednesday of Holy Week and if...

South Carolina would move up in the election calendar, too, according to plan that awaits final action next month by the Democrat National Committee. Democrats envision...

NEW YORK: Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Hindu, and Christian - each faith has its holy days. Schools across the country are asking how to respect them all. Consider the University at Albany, which canceled classes on major Muslim holidays. Faculty wanted the move out of concern for Muslim students after the Sept 11 attacks. But then came the questions: What about Hindus? Buddhists? President Kermit Hall last fall decided to return to the original calendar. “Can you operate a university and give each religious group an accommodation? I think the answer is, ‘No’,” he said. Make that “maybe”. School administrators...
