Peg Ogonowski’s late husband, John, was the captain of American Flight 11 — better known as the first plane to hit the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001.
“It was that moment of before and after,” said Peg, a former flight attendant. “There was my whole life before and then everything changed. It was a real line in my life that there will always be before 9/11 and after 9/11.”
After the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, one of the largest American flags damaged during the attacks continued to fly above the resulting wreckage during the clean-up efforts.
Seven years later, that flag, dubbed the National 9/11 Flag, was sewn back together by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kansas, and has also been stitched by World War II veterans, survivors of the Ft. Hood, Texas rampage, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s family.
In honor of the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, Steve Rosenbaum, a documentary film producer and web developer, has created an app called The 9/11 Memorial: Past, Present and Future.

Lucy Pinder is a good example of being in the right place at the right time. She was discovered on a beach by a photographer in England in 2003, signed to a modeling contract the next day just because of the pics, and has become one of the top glamor models in the business. All because she took the girls to the beach. Yes, those girls. If this is the talent hanging out at beaches in the UK we are planning a trip right now.

In excerpts from an interview in this month’s Men’s Journal, the former Giants star has some harsh words for former teammate Eli Manning and former coach Tom Coughlin.
Our crush today is, to steal an expression from our mothers, a living doll. Literally, a living doll. Little is known about this beauty that looks like a real-life Barbie except the fact she is A) real B) creepy in a sexy way or possibly the other way around and C) from Russia. WHAT A COUNTRY!
When Texas A&M announced last week it would be leaving the Big 12, it turned from an amicable split into a bad divorce in a short time. Even when it seems like the school and the conference had reached a compromise, one side finds a way to submarine the deal.
