We never stop playing video games. That's a fact. Even after we call it quits for the week we still look forward to getting home and continuing our digital conquests. It's our life blood. So we thought it would be fun to share with everyone what our gaming intentions are for the weekend so you guys can get a sense of what we're playing and enjoying on a weekly, non-formal basis. Yes, this concept isn't new to the internet. But hey, we kind of want to join in on the fun. Can you blame us for that? So without further ado, here's what we're playing this weekend that will forfeit any semblance of rest…
Feel free to sound off below to let us know what your gaming plans are this weekend.
Mike White (@theWhitestMike): The smuggling must go on! Joey and I are hitting up Star Wars: The Old Republic a few more times this weekend. It's slow going in terms of the stretch of time it takes us to level due to scheduling conflicts, but the experience earned per hour is more efficient. Aside from that, it's also just more enjoyable to have someone tagging along in voice chat with you. We finally learned the out of combat sprint, which makes traveling from 'A' to 'B' on foot easier, but our overweight characters never get out of breath or begin to sweat profusely. Strange.
When I have some time for myself this weekend, it's all about Diablo 3. A new wave of beta invites went out this week, so if you're registered and have been waiting patiently like I was, check your inbox. It also wouldn't hurt to log into your Battle.net account and see if the beta client pops up there.
For the brief amount of time I was able to play last night, I was impressed. Sure, it's been something like seven or eight years since I played Diablo 2 with consistency, but I was thrust right back into that eerie mood as soon as the music kicked in. The game looks and feels updated, but familiar. I'm hoping this will be like Pokemon: Black & White; similar to it's predecessors in all the right ways with quality adjustments that refine the gameplay.
Erik Norris (@Regular_Erik): I've got two games on my docket this weekend: The Darkness II and the Jak & Daxter Collection. As I stated on this week's Next Gen News podcast, I'm clearly more excited for the HD remasters the Jak & Daxter Collection offers, but I haven't written off The Darkness II. Not by a long shot.
In fact, The Darkness II is taking precedence this weekend, as I'm trying my damnedest to have a review ready for early next week. I'm only a few hours into the game's story, but I will say it's already surprising me with some touching moments amidst all the gunfire and bodies being torn asunder. Who would have thought?
As for the Jak & Daxter Collection, I can't wait to start this one. I LOVED the Jak & Daxter trilogy, so getting to relive those three games with touched up graphics is a dream come true. Honestly, the Jak & Daxter trilogy probably ranks in my top five gaming trilogies of all time, so that should put into perspective how much I'm looking forward to playing these titles again. Man, I love me some ottsel action.
Alex Keen (@dbldn): I'm still playing games that I haven't finished. Some of these games are over a year old. So, since developers aren't putting out new games worth buying it's time to play catch up.
After a couple of brutally busy days in life, I hope to reinvest my time playing Super Mario Galaxy 2. I'm 55 stars in on level sex and desperate to get closer to the end. The game is more challenging than I expected and it has been tough to find 60 minute clips to play when I wasn't falling asleep with wii-mote in hand.
Off the TV, I continue to build my Tiny Tower. Right now it stands 43 floors high and I think I'll call it a day at floor 50. I can't imagine continuing on when I'm only halfway there. This game was a blast when I only had 11 or 12 floors and 15 residents. But with nearly 60 residents and tons of stores I'm too busy micromanaging to enjoy the experience.
Joey Davidson (@JoeyDavidson): Good god, in an instant I'm balls deep in four games all over again. I guess that "dead time" of the year is officially over.
I'm wrapping up Resident Evil: Revelations this weekend, for sure. My review will be in on Monday, but I'll say this now: it's the best non-Nintendo game made for the Nintendo 3DS so far. It's a great reason to buy the portable and one of the best entries in the RE series. I loved Resident Evil 4, and Revelations brings the series back to that vibe.
I also got a review copy of Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii. Erik should remember that one as we dumped 100s of yen into the arcade machines in Japan in order to play it. It's 'effing nuts.
I'm also like four hours into Kingdoms of Amalur. The game is huge. The art style has been much better than I thought it would be. I can't say much about the title outside of that until the embargo lifts, but I am having fun.
Finally, it's more Star Wars: The Old Republic this weekend with Mike when he and I have a chance to play. We're going at it in quick blasts, so I don't think I'm getting a normal MMO experience here. Still, the story alone has been worth my time so far.
Paul Tamburro (@PaulTamburro): This weekend I shall hopefully be picking up my copy of Resident Evil: Revelations for the 3DS. My experiences with the franchise thus far have been decidedly mixed. I have a couple of friends who are diehard fans and, after spending almost an entire 24 hours a year or two ago watching them attempt to complete Resident Evil 2 (they failed) I felt as sick as a Left 4 Dead Boomer at the thought of seeing another zombie.
As I can imagine is the case with most gamers, RE4 well and truly hooked me back in and left me wanting more from the series, before RE5 came in guns blazing and ruined everything. It's not that RE5 was a bad game – it just wasn't a particularly good one.
However, now that the trailer for Resident Evil 6 has been released (excellent timing by the way Capcom) I've found myself struck down with a severe case of Resi fever, with the only cure being to shoot the undead in dodgy 3D on the train into town. I was also going to pick up a copy of Soul Calibur V this weekend, too, but after reading one Mr Erik Norris' review of it I think my money is best spent elsewhere – like on Modern Warfare 3 map packs. I'm joking, of course. My money is going to remain firmly in my wallet for the next two weeks until Twisted Metal rears its beautiful, oil-slicked head. What's that? The demo has been released today?! Goodbye, social life. I knew ye well.

Perfect for fans of R. J. Palacio and Gordon Korman, this is the hilarious and heartwarming sequel to Elvis and the Underdogs from author Jenny Lee, former writer on the Disney Channel show Shake It Up, the number one–rated kids' show in the country.
It's been months since Benji's former safety dog, Elvis, was whisked away by the Secret Service, but Benji still misses him terribly. Luckily, because Elvis is now the president's dog, there are plenty of pictures and videos of him online. While watching footage of the president's speech on the White House lawn, Benji and his friends Alexander and Taisy see Elvis thumping his tail repeatedly. Is he trying to tell Benji something? The kids realize it's actually a code! And Elvis needs their help.
And so begins another madcap adventure in which these underdog best friends will have to find a way way to travel to D.C., find out the truth behind Elvis's distress signals, and uncover state secrets without getting caught . . . or they may have to say good-bye to Elvis for good.

Eight-year-old Tom Blackwood took inspiration from Olympian Bradley Wiggins to cycle 26 miles in memory of his late big brother.
Tom lost brother Tim Greatley two years ago. The father-of-two died of leukaemia in February 2010 aged just 25, ten months after he was diagnosed.
Young Tom, who attends By Brook Valley C of E School in Yatton Keynell, decided to take part in cancer charity Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research's annual Bikeathon in Bath to raise funds for its work.
But while other families took a more gentle ten-mile cycle for charity, Tom was determined that he would take on a more serious marathon-distance route of 26 miles.
His parents Fiona and Ben Blackwood, of Barley Leaze, Chippenham, are so proud of his achievement.
"He decided he was going to do it, and initially my husband and I had real reservations," she said.
"There was an easier route for families, but Tom insisted that he wanted to ride the full 26 miles. "He'd made up his mind and was absolutely determined to do it. He is quite a fit, outdoorsy boy, but we were still quite worried. "In the end, he did it in three-and-a-half hours, and I think he would have been happy to go further."
Tom was accompanied by his dad and so far has raised more than £100 for the charity.
Mrs Blackwood said: "I am very proud of him, and Tim would have been proud too.
"Tom would definitely do the cycle again next year, which is great."
The family have completed several challenges for the leukaemia and lymphoma charity, as well as the Anthony Nolan Trust, since Mr Greatley's death.
Mrs Blackwood said: "Tom does like playing on his bike, and he has gone on a couple of bike rides with his school around the Castle Combe circuit, so we knew he could cycle a fair way.
"He is a very determined person, and when he makes up his mind to do something, he will make sure it gets done.
"He was the only child to complete the 26-mile ride."
She said Tom had certainly been inspired by Wiggins, who is the only cyclist in history to have won the Tour de France and an Olympic gold medal in the same year.
"He undoubtedly took inspiration from the achievements of Bradley Wiggins, and from his much-loved and much-missed brother," Mrs Blackwood said.

This article originally appeared in the Spring 1992 issue of the Prairie Progressive.
MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE—The 727 landed in a dense fog. One year ago today, the ground war had begun.
One year ago, perhaps, yellow ribbons festooned the trees and telephone poles. Now the streetswere littered with leaflets from yesterday's ACT-UP rally ("Read my lipstick – no new taxes on the rich!"); photos of people dead or dying from AIDS hung from bare branches.
The ground war of the First Primary had begun.Troops from the seven major campaigns skirmished up and down Elm Street. Solitarydark horse candidates (more than fifty on the ballot) sought to establish beachheads. Platoons of journalists and camera crews patrolled the perimeter.
But Manchester was not only a battlefield. It was also a small town before a big football game. Store windows and apartment buildings sported Homecoming-style banners ("Sununu for President – no more wimps!"). Pickup loads of beefy young Buchanan supporters careened through the business district, blasting their horns and chanting through bullhorns. Smug Kerrey volunteers planted themselves in front of the Merrimack Restaurant and cheered themselves hoarse. Kittycorner
to them was a well-coiffed Clinton crowd, waving signs and exchanging taunts with smaller knots of Cuomo and Harkin flagbearers who darted in and out of traffic. Occasionally a Nader mobile-home rolled through the streets, an enormous yellow write-in pencil mounted on its roof.
The crowds and the cacophony grew as Game Time neared. Warm weather on the day before the primary brought out hundreds more, as adrenaline-and-caffeine-crazed staffers croaked "Visibility!" to their workers, who surged out of their headquarters, jockeying for position on the best turf. At one point a beat-up van screeched to the curb and disgorged a dozen pumped-up twentysomethings brandishing Laughlin signs. They claimed the corner.
By nightfall of Primary Eve, Manchester had become a surreal blend of street theater, Mardi Gras, and Prom Night. Twenty-four hours later, the party would be over for Tom Harkin.
Was Harkin's problem "the message or the messenger?" That's how the major media posed the issue of Harkin's failure to ignite Democratic primary voters.
Nothing was wrong with Harkin's fundamental message. It was a simple amalgam of: 1) Jesse Jackson's message in '88; 2) some facts and theories lifted from Republican analyst Kevin Phillips's book, "The Politics of Rich and Poor;" and 3) Harkin's own instinctive populism.
The message, however, had two strikes against it. First, the primary schedule was less than ideal. New Hampshire, one of the most anti-government, antitax, anti-labor states in the nation (and the food's not very good, either),is a terrible place to begin the Democratic primaries. Even one little industrial state with a minority population could have injected some momentum into Harkin's campaign earlier in the process.
Equally problematic was the media's aversion to openly class-based politics. "Class-resentment anger," the Des Moines Register labeled Harkin's rhetoric. The Wall Street Journal dismissed his attacks on Reaganomics as "classwarfare." They just don't get it. Class remains America's dirty little secret, one which well-fed columnists from the finest schools are ill-equipped to explore.
Harkin's strengths as a messenger were outweighed by two flaws. The decision to go negative in New Hampshire was a crucial mistake. His Iowa victory did give Harkin a bump going into New Hampshire, with tracking polls showing slowly but steadily inching ahead of Kerrey toward 15%.
Had Harkin been content to make a few comparisons" of his record with Kerrey's, his upward trend probably would have continued. Instead, Harkin took shots at all of his competitors, thereby defusing the attack on Kerrey while increasing his own junkyard-dog image. What worked against Tom Tauke backfired in a larger field.
Harkin's staff apparently realized that something had gone askew, because they hastily resurrected a softer ad featuring Harkin's hearing-impaired brother.
The kind-and-gentle persona came too late for a knock-out of Kerrey, which was crucial to the long-range goal of a Harkin-vs.-Clinton showdown. Harkin's hopes, and the struggle to define the Democratic Party in 1992, were finished.
The messenger may have made another serious mistake by abandoning his stance as an outsider. Harkin's claim of being "the only real Democrat in the race" was accurate in many respects, but it didn't play well in an anti-establishment atmosphere. And Harkin's style, epitomized by his beautifully-orchestrated announcement event on a farm in Winterset, began to reek of the Beltway. Neither Harkin nor Kerrey, flying firstclass with bloated entourages, could adjust quickly enough to the twists and turns of a national campaign. Yet, with little money and less than ten staffers, Jerry Brown (a quintessential insider) is still in the race.
Withdrawing from campaigns brings out the best in presidential hopefuls. Kerrey was far more lively and appealing during his exit remarks than he ever had been as a candidate. A trace of self-deprecating humor somehow found its wayinto Harkin's withdrawal speech. The account of his campaign, Harkin joshed, should be called "Memoirs of an Invisible Man." Both he and the crowd were startled by his halting attempt to poke fun at himself, but the joke was okay for a first try. A little more of that could go along way in '96.
— Dave Leshtz campaigned for Sen.Harkin in New Hampshire in 1992.

BUENA PARK, Margaret Morell: George Stephanopoulos introduced the subject of contraception in a January GOP debate, asking Mitt Romney, "Gov. Romney, do you believe that states have the right to ban contraception? Or is that trumped by a constitutional right to privacy?" Romney looked bewildered, to say the least, responding "George, this is an unusual topic that you're raising. I can't imagine a state banning contraception." The same question brought a comment from former Sen. Rick Santorum, who said something like "I suppose so."
Many people think that President Barack Obama went beyond his powers when he announced that Catholics were required to offer abortions and contraception to employees of such organizations as Catholic schools and hospitals. California Congressman Darrell Issa held a hearing about the unconstitutionality of his edict. Democrat politicians immediately complained there were no women in the hearing to offer their point of view about contraception and abortion. Since that was not the subject of the hearing, Issa was correct in not inviting them. The president amended his position slightly, saying that insurers must offer the employees contraceptives without charge.
Now we have Sandra Fluke, a young woman who says she cannot afford contraceptives. She is a law student at Georgetown University, which costs about $45,000 a year in tuition alone, so it isn't hard to see that she might be short of funds. But her complaint is that she has sex so often, the pill becomes too expensive. She wants taxpayers to pay for what she calls her physical health. Now I may be too far out of the loop, but I thought that the pill was something one took once a day, every day. I perhaps foolishly thought you could indulge yourself silly every day and still be protected.
So why would a student attending a Roman Catholic university, such as Georgetown, expect the school to provide contraception? Surely she knew of the Catholic prohibition against abortifacients. And how can the pill cost thousands of dollars a year? Is she using condoms? If she has relations twice a day, that doesn't add up to thousands. Doesn't she date anyone who has his own supplies? Don't forget about all the places you can get contraceptives free already.
The bottom line is why are we talking about contraception anyway? We have been getting along for many years with prevention and abortion keeping our population in bounds. Can it be that this is an election year and we want to discredit religious organizations in general and those who oppose abortion in particular? Are the powers that be in our government looking for votes from energetic young women?
Stop the women bashing!
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Margaret Moodian: What year is it again? 1950? No wait, its 2012. I just could not tell from what I've been hearing in the news lately.
Stepping on women in order to win an election makes me enraged. Women have been working so hard for so long for equal rights. Rush Limbaugh and his "prostitute" and "slut" comments about Sandra Fluke who went before a congressional committee about birth control makes me "want to puke" as Rick Santorum, another crazy chauvinist would say.
How does Limbaugh get away with comments like these? If family values were important, than would this language not turn people off at least? The man simply has no class.
There are so many big things to worry about at this time. Millions of people are unemployed, cannot feed their families or even get a decent education, and these idiots are wasting time bashing women? What's wrong with this picture? If our government was made up of an equal number of women and men, I am positive this war on women would not happen.
If a loving mother brought you into this world, or you are a women who has greatly benefited from accessible birth control, than I urge you to stop this war. Get angry. Call up your government leaders. Do something to stand up to these bullies. Limbaugh and his cronies need to be stopped right now.
A response to Lisa Ramirez
TUSTIN, W. Sauvageot: I do not take sides in the debate over ICE deportation policies, but Lisa Ramirez's rebuttal column deserves a response.
First, she states that Obama's decision to reset the clock for 200,000 Salvadorans currently on Temporary Protected Status is merely another in a series of extensions granted since 2001 at the end of the statutory limit of eighteen months. Some might say that a "temporary" period that is indefinitely reset at zero is not temporary but permanent.
Second, consider this legalese sleight of hand: in response to criticism that the Obama administration has limited enforcement to those who have committed crimes, Ramirez says that "prosecutorial agencies have been confronted with more administrative violations than they can address" (i.e., they can't handle the volume) and so "prosecutorial discretion policies were more strategically operationalized" (i.e., enforcement has indeed been limited as the critics have claimed).
Ramirez also cites deportation of criminals under the Secure Communities program, a program that has been under fire since its inception from advocacy groups, and which I doubt she herself supports. And she closes with a recap of the prosecutorial guidelines of Homeland Security, guidelines which, because of the volume, cannot be followed but must be "strategically operationalized."
No more federal government in education
ANAHEIM, Dominic Bartolone: Letter-writer Norm Ewers states that in order to preserve our Democracy we must have a well-funded public school system that churns out a "literate electorate," and we best not tinker with it ["Reject a two-tier public education system," March 1]. What the government has done over the past generation is exactly that: tweaked and distorted the public school system so much that we now have a mammoth federal agency that dictates how our kids should eat, feel and think.
So intrusive is the government hand, that some parents are even denied teaching their children at home, lest the government be deprived its input into what and how a child should be instructed. As for well funded, I can say that America far outspends any other nation in per child funding, yet we rank lower in math and science scores than some third world nations.
He is right on one point: schools were doing well in educating our children. Of course this was back when school decisions were made at the state and local levels with parent/teacher input and long before the Department of Education came around and began "tinkering" with every aspect of public education.
Your tax dollars at work
LAGUNA BEACH, Frank Carri: David Carlberg's letter on Feb. 29, "Public salary myths," states that the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a government agency, in its very own comparison of private/public sector salaries, has repeatedly warned us not to make such comparisons.
It must have taken an army of "highly paid" government professionals like architects, chemists, doctors, attorneys, accountants and administrators to come up with that one. And, somewhere in the background there must have been some "highly paid" government cooks, janitors, gardeners, maintenance people, security personnel, supply clerks and office workers that were required to support all those "highly paid" professionals.
Yes, here we go again, just another good example of our hard-earned tax dollars at work.
IRVINE, Marcos Alazraki: So the Obama administration wants to spend three-quarters of a million dollars on a soccer field "designed as a quality of life improvement for our cooperative Muslim friends" in Guantanamo. I'd surely hope that price includes the bleachers, dressing rooms, showers, uniforms with the latest Nike shoes and of course, field turf so they don't get muddy on rainy days.

All of them should write something special on their helmet to truly show their support their work day, wouldn't that be an interesting idea? Anyway, they should also take good care of their car with a good car insurance quote because it's gonna get pretty rough! :D
MCC will once again sponsor across Canada, International Ride-to-Work Day (RTW), held annually on the third Monday of June. RTW focuses attention on the benefits inherent in using a motorcycle or scooter as transportation – less impact on infrastructure.
Liked the way Green GT is working for the future electric cars, but are they more environment friendly? With the depletion in non renewable resources in next coming 15-20 years, can we have this as an option to run on renewable energy... Also, how safe are these to drive on roads in US. Does this involve any safety driving rules for the drivers and help them drive defensively.
Lucky for those people who has electric cars they don't have to spend a lot of money for fuel.By the way have you heard about lithium-ion batteries? Recently researchers found out that there are ways to make a safer battery that can produce a longer driving range by utilizing a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one.

No RX Avodart, by J. F. Kelly, Jr, 30mg Avodart. | Coronado
What do Greece and California have in common besides Greek restaurants. A lot, Avodart australia, it seems. Both are on the brink of financial ruin as a result of chronic government deficit spending on services and benefits, No RX Avodart. And sizeable portions of the population in both places, having grown accustomed to governments that give them most of what they ask for whether they can afford it or not, are in a state of denial, Avodart ebay. In both places, proposed reductions are being met with temper tantrums, 50mg Avodart, demonstrations, and even violence.
In Greece, citizens battled riot police to protest cutbacks in government services and benefits, Avodart us. With its economy in shambles, its ability to borrow impaired and facing European Union sanctions, 250mg Avodart, the Greek government is struggling to reduce its deficit and meet its financial obligations. No RX Avodart, The cutbacks, naturally, are not popular with the citizens affected. They never are. Disorder and violence, however, 100mg Avodart, only make matters worse as the security and cleanup costs add to the expense of government. This may be a preview of what we can expect here as America's burgeoning debt forces draconian reductions of our own. Avodart uk, In California, whose economy is far larger than Greece's, larger, in fact, Avodart coupon, than all but eight of the world's nations, the economic problems are no less serious. Last year, the state was forced to issue IOUs to pay its obligations, pending resolution of a budget shortfall, No RX Avodart. 20mg Avodart, Again this year, the state is franticly trying to eliminate a budget shortfall. But unlike a sovereign state, it can't print money and it must balance its budget, 10mg Avodart.
Like the federal government and most U.S. states and major cities, Avodart overseas, California's budget crisis is greatly worsened by the recession which has reduced tax revenues. No RX Avodart, Desperate measures must be employed to reduce government obligations and the pain must be shared. No sector should be immune or "fenced" from cuts, including even the former sacred cows like education. Gov, Avodart japan. Arnold Schwarzenegger, accordingly, Avodart canada, deleted about $600 million in funding from higher education. The regents and trustees in the University of California and State University systems had little choice therefore than to reduce staff, curtail some programs and raise tuition. These are unpopular steps, to be sure, but necessary in the midst of the worst financial crisis in California's history, No RX Avodart.
Students are not expected to applaud these difficult decisions, Avodart craiglist. Neither, however, 200mg Avodart, are they expected to act like spoiled children, occupying campus buildings, fighting with campus police, disrupting university activities and blocking traffic, Avodart usa. The tone was set, of course, Avodart paypal, at the once-prestigious Berkeley campus, now famous as much for demonstrations and political correctness as for academic excellence. There students held a "mobilizing" conference to discus demands and invoke commonality with fondly-recalled past protest movements such as the anti-Vietnam War campaign. No RX Avodart, After occupying a building they reportedly activated fire alarms to disrupt activities at this taxpayer-funded institution. They were apparently encouraged by some faculty members, 40mg Avodart, one of whom likened the tuition increase to racial discrimination. The chancellor was quoted as saying that the protest "exemplified the best of our tradition of effective civil action." This is your tax dollars, 150mg Avodart, hard at work, educating tomorrow's leaders.
Students, many of whom are still children lacking any meaningful experience in the real world, Avodart mexico, can, to some extent, 1000mg Avodart, be forgiven for venting their emotions, so long as they don't damage public or private property or interfere with the business of the university which they are privileged to attend, largely at taxpayer expense. But for faculty and staff to contribute to this nonsense and encourage juvenile behavior is outrageous, Avodart india. They are supposed to be the adults running this asylum, No RX Avodart. Instead they become part of the problem.
Gov. 750mg Avodart, Schwarzenegger apparently caved in, promising increased funding for higher education. Where will it come from. No RX Avodart, From law enforcement or firefighting, perhaps. Or maybe at the further expense of California's crumbling infrastructure, 500mg Avodart. Is that what the taxpayers want. The student-faculty demonstrations illustrate the deeply-entrenched sense of entitlement that prevails across the land. These students apparently actually believe that the taxpayers owe them an education. Where did they ever get that idea, No RX Avodart. Do they get it that many Californians are unemployed and losing their homes and that many of their children will never get a chance to attend college.
The current financial meltdown in the Golden State will require painful reductions in services. Publicly-funded higher education is fair game. It is now valid to ask if we can really afford ten University of California campuses and a twenty-three campus state university system. No RX Avodart, It's also fair to ask if we can afford all the course offerings and extra-curricular activities. It's also reasonable to ask if admission standards should be toughened to decrease campus populations and ensure that only the academically-qualified get a taxpayer-subsidized education.
Student demonstrations won't make the budget problems go away. They may, however, turn public sentiment against the students. They would be well advised in this economic climate to spend that surplus energy studying rather than protesting. CRO

On Sunday, as the nation remembers victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a few groups are working to honor more ordinary heroes.
This year, National Grandparents Day falls on the same day as the 10th anniversary of the nation's tragedy. No one planned it that way. According to the calendar, it just happened.
Former President Jimmy Carter proclaimed Grandparents Day in 1979 to recognize the contributions of grandparents and connect families. It's the first Sunday after Labor Day.
No matter what.
• • •
Marian McQuade, a West Virginia mother of 15, started the campaign in 1970. She wanted to give a voice to lonely people in nursing homes and help children tap into the wisdom of their elders.
McQuade persuaded her governor to declare Grandparents Day in 1973 and worked with elected officials in every state to make it a national holiday. They picked a day in September to signify the autumn years of life.
McQuade's descendents formed a nonprofit group to promote National Grandparents Day at the grassroots level. She died in 2008 at age 91.
The group realized a while ago that the day coincided with the 9/11 anniversary and modified its Grandparent of the Year Award to honor a veteran or someone directly affected. "We decided this year that we may as well join them than let them overshadow us,'' said DJ McQuade-Lancaster, one of McQuade's daughters.
This year's winner, George Ceko of Chicago, had to move his awards celebration to a school because his top choice, a veterans memorial, was booked for a 9/11 remembrance event.
The two events wouldn't have been a good fit, McQuade-Lancaster said.
Grandparents Day is supposed to be a happy time.
• • •
For decades, Grandparents Day had the day to itself. National Stepfamily Day followed a few days later, on Sept. 16, but only since 1997.
Then, the twin towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001 — a Tuesday — and Patriots Day was born. From then on, the two would occasionally share a box on calendars everywhere.
Generations United hosts a Grand-Rally in Washington on Grandparents Day but this year changed it to Sept. 15 and expanded the observance to all week.
"We realized Grandparents Day is a day of celebration and we knew it was going to be a somber day because of the 10th anniversary,'' said Colleen Appleby-Carroll, a spokeswoman for Generations United.
They also knew many of the victims were grandparents.
Altering plans in respect of 9/11 isn't unprecedented. Last year, some Muslim groups scaled back their Eid al-Fitr, or end-of-Ramadan, festivities because holiday fell on Sept. 10. One Muslim center in Maryland, citing a need to be sensitive, limited observances to religious services.
• • •
Grandparents Day promoters hope citizens use the day to spend time with family and reflect on their lives — concepts that complement Sept. 11 tributes, not compete against them.
The Legacy Project invites children to interview their grandparents about their life experiences as part of its annual Listen to a Life essay contest, which starts on Grandparents Day.
Program director Brian Puppa said he never considered changing the date. In fact, he expects many essays will focus on how the attacks changed Americans.
"It's a natural way to talk about it. Many grandchildren weren't born when the event occurred or, if they were, they don't have a recollection of it,'' said Puppa, who is the brother of former Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Daren Puppa. "This is an opportunity for grandparents to share their feelings about where they were and how they felt when 9/11 occurred and help children understand how the event affected the country.''
McQuade-Lancaster urged people to visit someone in a nursing home who sees relatives only on holidays. Come with chocolate and hugs.
Or bring them Forget-me-nots. It's the official flower of Grandparents Day this year and every year.

The CTE ZED 21 JH represents the meeting between the peculiarities of the ZED 21 J (21 m working height with jib 2.1 m), the CTE stabilization system with connecting rods, and the concept of increased flow presented recently with the ZED 20 CSH. The new ZED 21 JH was born as an evolution of the ZED 21 J. Compared to the previous version: the boom is being completely redesigned, more compact and less bulky and now is in fact parallel to the articulated arm; the loading capacity in the basket is increased, it reaches 300 kg and JH is the only machine in the sector to offer it; the jib inclination has been increased from 110 ° to 145 °; the tubes are positioned inside the boom and result to be repaired and then protected; the control panel placed in the basket has been studied with a new ergonomically functional cover.

Once upon a time there was an ultra femme maxi dress with delicate crochet details. Beautiful ruffle accents played upon the airy high low hem. A subtle drawstring at the neckline and waist made an easy fit. Front button closures finished the look.

Much better than MAC or any other department store brandsIt's thick and solid, so it won't go anywhere you don't want it to. A good amount of product comes in the little pot took, so it'll last awhile. And even though it comes in different colors, they're all fairly dark, so you can create different color schemes with out it being too obnoxious-unless you wan it to be :) — 6 years, 4 months agoFeralMaxine | 4 reviews

I'm really torn on this product. I love the concept and the packaging. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the darker shade of lipstick. I'm just not crazy about the other shade, and that's my dilemma. The tube is split vertically with one color on either side, so to use it properly you need somewhat even wear on both sides. I recommend buying this product if you'll wear both colors equally.

Federal taxes will go up, but spending will rise even faster over the next 25 years, leaving the national government in dire fiscal straits, according to projections the Congressional Budget Office released Tuesday.
In one key finding, the CBO figures show that in order to keep Social Security solvent without cutting projected benefits, the government would have to impose an immediate and permanent 3.4 percent payroll tax increase.
Overall, as the population ages, the government will bleed red ink, with spending — which is about 21 percent of gross domestic product right now — reaching 26.2 percent of GDP by 2038.

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Shea-Porter (D-NH), Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ), Co-Chairman of the International Religious Freedom Caucus, Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA), Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ), and Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL), along with over eighty colleagues from the House and Senate, including Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-AL), sent a letter to Secretary of State John F. Kerry and urged him to exhaust every possible option to secure U.S. citizen Saeed Abedini's release from Iran.
According to U.S. Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH), "This letter informs both Secretary Kerry and the nation of Iran that the members of Congress, and the people we represent, refuse to silently accept this violation of human rights. We will continue to speak out until Pastor Saeed is free to come home to his two young children, his community of faith, and his country."
U.S. Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) said, "The overwhelming bipartisanship of our congressional letter to Secretary of State Kerry demonstrates the serious implications of Saeed Abedini's case in Iran and the need for swift action by our State Department. When a U.S. citizen is unjustly detained and imprisoned—particularly in Iran, a country with no respect for rule of law or fundamental human rights—the State Department should come vigorously to his or her defense. As Secretary Kerry assumes his new position at State Department, the Saeed Abedini case deserves his immediate and personal attention."
U.S. Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) stated, "Pastor Abedini's case exemplifies Iran's flagrant violation of human rights and religious freedom. We hope that this letter, with its deep support from all across America, will show Saeed Abedini that he is not alone and that we have not forgotten him."
"The case of Saeed Abedini is one example of the continued, egregious violations of religious freedom in Iran, and he should be released immediately," said U.S. Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ), author of the Lautenberg Amendment on refugees. "This case also shows why programs like the Lautenberg Amendment are critical for religious minorities in Iran fleeing persecution, and Congress must act to reauthorize the Amendment. As President Ahmadinejad maintains his oppressive rule in Iran, we must continue to provide religious minorities with a safe means of exit and access to refugee status in the United States."
U.S. Senator Mark Kirk (R-IL) continued, "The Iranian regime must immediately and unconditionally release Pastor Saeed. Iran's decision to sentence a pastor to eight years in prison simply for practicing his religion reflects the regime's flagrant disregard for basic human rights. As Americans, we cannot tolerate such violations of personal freedom, especially against our own citizens. I am proud to join my colleagues in sending a strong message of solidarity to Pastor Saeed and all Iranian dissidents."
"I am deeply dismayed and disturbed by the news from Iran that Pastor and American citizen Mr. Saeed Abedini has been sentenced by the Iranian government to eight years in prison for practicing the Christian faith," wrote U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). "Pastor Abedini's case is symbolic of the gross injustice against all Christians in Iran today. I am encouraged that many of my colleagues feel the same way, as demonstrated by this letter but we need to add the voice of the President of the United States to the chorus of concern."
U.S. Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-AL) concluded, "Religious freedom is one of the most fundamental rights any human being should have. Pastor Abedini's wrongful conviction and imprisonment is the latest example of Iran's continued blatant disregard for religious freedom and the rule of law. Pastor Abedini is an American citizen, who has committed his life to Christ, his country and his family—none of which are punishable offenses. I am proud to join my colleagues in this bipartisan effort to continue calling for swift action from the State Department under Secretary Kerry's leadership to bring Pastor Abedini home."
The Honorable John F. Kerry, Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street NW
Washington, D.C. 20520
February 12, 2013
Dear Secretary Kerry:
We write to thank you for your recent statement calling for the release of American citizen Saeed Abedini and we respectfully urge you to exhaust every possible option to secure Mr. Abedini's immediate release.
We support your assessment that Mr. Abedini's imprisonment represents a "violation of the universal right of freedom of religion." We were also heartened by the State Department's recent condemnation of the imprisonment and trial of Mr. Abedini.
While there are countless important issues that come before you, few are more sacred than defending the most fundamental human rights. It is even more incumbent upon us to stand against persecution when it is levied against our own citizens. As an American citizen, Mr. Abedini deserves nothing less than the exercising of every diplomatic tool of the U.S. government to defend his basic human rights.
Mr. Abedini was detained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard on July 28, 2012, during a lawful entry into Iran. Mr. Abedini's detention occurred during his ninth trip to Iran since 2009. His frequent travel to Iran was for the humanitarian purpose of opening an orphanage in Rasht, Iran – an endeavor the Iranian Regime encouraged and supported. During his most recent trip to Iran, Mr. Abedini's passports were confiscated and he was forced to remain in Iran and face charges relating to his Christian faith. On September 26, 2012, the Revolutionary Guard raided the home of Mr. Abedini's parents and took Mr. Abedini into custody. In the following months, Mr. Abedini experienced solitary confinement, beatings, and aggressive interrogations in Evin Prison.
On January 21, 2013, Mr. Abedini stood trial in front one of the most notorious judges in Iran: Judge Pir-Abassi of Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court. Judge Pir-Abassi is known as the "hanging judge" and has been designated by the European Union for numerous violations committed during trials of human rights activists related to the 2009 Iranian elections. It is deeply disturbing that the human rights of an American citizen were decided by an Iranian judge of this repute.
Every American citizen traveling or living abroad should have the assurance that the U.S. government will come vigorously to his or her defense if they are unjustly detained or imprisoned. We respectfully request that you continue to use every diplomatic avenue possible, in cooperation with our allies and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran, to secure Mr. Abedini's unconditional release and personally and publically condemn his arbitrary detention in a statement.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
I'm often amazed at how many salespeople and business owners are surprised when, after we've de-briefed their sales meeting or phone call, they realize the buyer or decision-maker they were talking to lied to them.

 In many cases the salesperson will actually defend the buyer, saying things like, "Well, they're just not ready to buy," or "They have to see all the salespeople first and then make a decision."

 What the salesperson usually means when saying something like the above is, "I haven't done my job properly." Not surprisingly, few are willing to admit this (and some aren't even aware of it).

 Here are some phrases buyers or decision-makers will say to you or your team—and what they really mean.

 "I'm happy with my existing supplier." I'm still astounded so many salespeople fall for this one, either exiting the call or mentally "giving up" upon hearing it. The average salesperson hears this so often, you'd think they would have learnt to deal with it by now.

 When the buyer says something like "I'm happy with my existing supplier," what he usually means is, "I don't know you well enough to consider you as an alternative supplier just yet," "I don't like you as much as I like my existing supplier," or even "Your call or visit has interrupted me, and I'm going to use a phrase that gets rid of most salespeople."

 Nonetheless, most salespeople who hear this objection still let it affect them in a negative way. Some don't even get as far as asking another question. Let's be honest here: If this is your first decent conversation or visit with the potential new client, isn't it fairly normal for them to be "happy" with their existing supplier at this stage?

 It's your job as a salesperson to understand their current solution and how your product or service adds value to what they're trying to achieve with it. If you only relied on being "lucky," you're missing out on the majority of your sales opportunities!

 "I need to think about this and get back to you." Another classic example of something a lot of salespeople fall for. When someone says, "I need to think about this and get back to you," what they might well mean is "I don't have enough information to make a decision on this yet." What they might also mean is, "I'm not sure about you, so I'm going to check you and your company out on the Internet while you're not here." Or even, "I've already decided not to use you, but I'm not willing to tell you that."

 Whichever of those it is, leaving the appointment or phone call at this stage is the worst thing you can do. Even if they are considering you and truly thinking about it in more detail, what that means is they're going through that process (and even reaching their decision) without you being involved.

 "I'm under contract at the moment." Another old favorite. When a buyer or decision-maker says this, what they might well mean is simply "Go away!" Or perhaps, "I don't want to be pitched by you right now." Or even as a challenge, as in, "Let's see how he handles this one." Again, if you fall for this, you've only got yourself to blame.

 "I've had a better price." What a great negotiation tactic this is! Yet many salespeople fall for it— particularly if they're struggling for sales figures or income.

 Often, when the buyer or decision-maker says, "I've had a better price," what they may well mean is "Let's see how much you can reduce your price by," or even, "Let's get a cheaper quote from you, so I can go to my existing supplier and get their price down."

 Buyers and decision-makers know this works because the salesperson's first thought is, "I need to drop my price to get the deal," rather than, "I need to find out more about this."

 The conversation then turns to how much the buyer or decision-maker wants the price reduced by (also known as "haggling"), and in some cases, the price ends up somewhere between 50 to 70 percent of what the salesperson originally stated.

 Not the outcome you really want as a salesperson, is it?

Mary Poppins worth a visit
Citadel version of Disney classic enjoyable despite excessive preachiness
Wednesday, Mar 26, 2014 01:45 pm
Runs until April 20
Citadel Theatre
Tickets: start at $35 Call 780-425-1820 or visit: citadeltheatre.com
The parrot-handled, umbrella-toting nanny has blown into town and No. 17 Cherry Tree Lane is downing a spoonful of medicine in no uncertain terms.
As Mary Poppins touches down on the stage of the Citadel Theatre, you can�t help but notice that although she reminds you of Julie Andrews� sweet sparkle, at times there�s a Sunday sermon quality to the character that begs for a shot of sugar.
In this Citadel co-production with Theatre Calgary, Mary Poppins flies into town in a ravishing backdrop set on a revolving stage.
But unlike Disney�s 1964 smash film, this Michael Shamata directed production pushes sentimental familial closeness into the wings and reveals darker individual estrangements.
The Banks family is what contemporary psychologists would label as dysfunctional. Mr. Banks is more interested in making money than spending time with his family. Yet he is obsessed with maintaining control in the home. His mantra is �precision and order.�
Mr. Banks expects Mrs. Banks to run the home efficiently and make sure the children behave like marionettes. In turn, Mrs. Banks, a former actress, feels like a failure while the children misbehave while trying to flag their father�s attention.
From whence Mary Poppins comes, no one knows. However, the title character (played by the lovely Blythe Wilson) arrives with a bag full of magical tricks. In Mary�s presence, park statues come to life and tap-dancing penguins serve tea.
She turns cuddly toys into full-grown free spirits and when the kitchen collapses, she magically fixes the shambles with the wave of a hand.
Mary Poppins is after all Practically Perfect. As the song describes her, she is prim and proper, yet never too stern. She is educated, yet willing to learn.
�I�m clean and honest, my manner refined, and I wear shoes of the sensible kind,� sings Wilson in a chipper voice.
In some ways, Mary Poppins is a two-dimensional character, yet Wilson develops her into a perfectly charming enigma. And although her voice is unlike Julie Andrews� � no one is like Andrews � it has a crystal purity and warmth.
Unfortunately the songs� creators have attached a life lesson to each and it�s easy to grow restless with the inherent lecturing.
Interestingly enough, the musical is less about the children than it is about Mr. Banks� personal healing and realizing that there are more important things than accumulating money and status.
Vincent Gale delivers a robust performance as Mr. Banks, a man lost in a world where his own childhood was mercilessly stripped away. And St. Albert Children�s Theatre alumna Kate Ryan delivers a touching performance as Mrs. Banks. Nowhere is her confusion and sadness more real than in the poignant song Being Mrs. Banks.
Andrew MacDonald-Smith as Bert, Mary�s best friend, is a delightful rogue. Forget Dick Van Dyke from the original Disney movie. The star was too much of a Hollywood sun-and-surf clone to come across as a Cockney chimney sweep and jack-of-all trades.
MacDonald-Smith delivers a more authentic feel with a light accent and a sooty street-wise bearing. He is a watcher of people depicting what he sees in sidewalk paintings that spring to life and turn the world upside down.
Taking the lead in Step in Time, MacDonald-Smith guides the sweeps into a rousing number of cartwheels and leaps that brought a roar of approval from the audience.
And Susan Gilmour as Miss Andrew, the nanny from hell, virtually stole every scene she was in, while Michelle Fisk as Mrs. Brill, housekeeper and cook extraordinaire, is the epitome of consternation.
The live 16-piece orchestra under musical director Don Horsburgh deserves special kudos for supplying a vivacious, ebullient score that delivers a real Broadway zing.
Aside from the chirpy family counselling, a trip to Cherry Tree Lane is a delightful stroll.

Two giants of the mobile phone industry, Apple and Google, have agreed to drop all current patent infringement lawsuits between them, they said Friday.
"Apple and Google have also agreed to work together in some areas of patent reform," the companies said in a joint statement. They have not agreed to cross-license each other's patents, however.
[ Simon Phipps tells it like it is: Why software patents are evil. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. | Cut to the key news for technology development and IT management with the InfoWorld Daily newsletter, our summary of the top tech happenings. ]
Apple filed a lawsuit with the U.S. International Trade Commission in 2010 against Motorola Mobility, which was subsequently acquired by Google. Google has since agreed to sell the smartphone business to Lenovo, but the deal has not yet closed.
Many of the lawsuits Apple has filed against other smartphone makers, including Samsung, involve Google's Android operating system. This deal announced Friday does not affect the Apple-Samsung lawsuit, however.
Earlier this month a California jury ruled Samsung should pay Apple $119 million for infringing several Apple patents related to smartphones and tablet PCs. Samsung was also ordered to pay Apple $930 million in an earlier case, which Samsung has appealed.
As sales of smartphones began to rise, competition between phone makers reached unprecedented levels and companies turned to the courts as a way to gain an advantage over competitors. However, despite millions of dollars spent in lawyers' fees and thousands of hours of court time, the results have been mixed.
Few vendors have managed to get injunctions against popular smartphones that affected sales in any significant way.
Indeed, Motorola Mobility had been hoping to get the iPhone banned from sale in the U.S. on its allegations of patent infringement.
The judge overseeing the Apple v. Samsung case, Judge Lucy Koh, has asked the companies to settle several times and earlier this year ordered the chief executives of each company to sit down and attempt to hammer out a deal. That ended in failure.

Say, let's find a million people struggling mightily to get by and make their lives infinitely more difficult by cutting off their unemployment compensation ("1.3 million losing unemployment benefits Saturday," Tribune, Dec. 28)! We'll tell everyone that these people just need to stop basking in luxurious government largess get out and get a job. What a grand idea!
Why is it that our government, again and again, decides to inflict great pain and suffering on our own people? Why is it so often heaped onto those who are already hurting?
We are a callous nation, increasingly unable to understand or care about the plight of anyone who is anonymous. We should be far more concerned about this damage we are doing to ourselves than what might be done to us by terrorists.

Beginner fly tyers material list
fly tying lessons
This list of beginner tying materials is simply a list based on my 30+ years experience in fly tying. The list provided below is for a new tyer who wants to tie trout flies but can spill over to different genres of fly tying. It is a BASIC list. Could other items have appeared on the list? Of course they could but that's somebody elses list. Other tyers will add or subtract materials to their liking. So be it. Remember its a BASIC list of materials. It contains materials the can tie hundreds or even thousands of fly patterns.
This list is in no order of preference. This list is provided for your convenience and in no way requires you to buy all tying materials all at once or any materials for that matter. It is also a generic list of materials as I really don't have any preferences as to what brand of materials you buy.
Eventually you will need materials if you want to continue tying flies. The list may give you a head start as to what you might want to buy
Again, you do not have to buy the entire list all at once!
Buy what you want when you need it!
1. Hooks (in different styles and sizes)
2. Thread (6/0 to start in black & white)
3. Pheasant Tail (center feathers when possible for the longest fibers)
4. Peacock Herl (eye feathers and strung herl)
5. Marabou (blood quills are better)
6. Deer hair
7. Elk hair
8. Buck tail (in different colors like red, yellow, or white)
9. Lead or non-lead wire (in different sizes)
10. Ribbing wire (silver, copper & gold)
11. Rooster Hackle (grizzly, brown, white & dun) A good option is an introduction pack
12. Hen neck or saddle (grizzly, brown, dun etc) (great for soft hackle & wings)
13. Hungarian Partridge Skin (great for soft hackles)
14. Dubbing dispenser of hares ear (various colors) & superfine dubbing for dry flies
15. Gray duck or goose wing feathers (used for wing cases)
16. Head cement
17. Tinsel and other flash materials (in assorted colors)
18. Calf tail (start with white, add colors when necessary)
19. Yarns & chenille (used for making bodies, both in assorted colors)
20. Floss (1 strand or 4 strand in assorted colors)
21. Strung hackle (practice wrapping hackle with this. cheap alternative to the pricey hackles)
22. Beads (not necessary to begin tying flies but if you really need them get them)
Poor quality materials are destined to discourage beginner tiers and cause greater expense when the time comes to replace them. Buy the best you can.
Another recommendation seen on most forums is to pick out 5-10 that you want to learn how to tie. buy the materials provided in the recipes of those flies. these materials are now the building blocks for tying different fly patterns in the future.
"The vice, bobbin, scissors and materials are fundamental."
for an absolute beginner, what more is really needed? those 4 items will tie hundreds of flies if not more.
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
This is an excellent post flytire. I was a recipient of a fly tying kit years ago and could not have been happier. It was easily one of the best gifts I've ever received. Now that I'm more experienced, those materials wouldn't be my first choice (probably just the kit I received), but they were good enough to get me hooked on tying that's for sure.
I am generally an advocate of buy the materials as you need them, much as you are. The list you put together would give anyone interested in tying LOTS of options to tie different patterns that's for sure. I don't see any reason to deviate from it, it's very comprehensive and to do so would be like splitting hairs. Somehow I missed that it had already been marked as a sticky, it's certainly worthy.
Nicely done! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
I think it's in the sticky section already?
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
Nice job, flytire. That is an excellent comprehensive beginners list. One could tie pretty much any pattern that he'd ever need.
2nd the sticky nomination. All in favor...?
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
Darn good thread! Excellent job!
I'll get a bit more specific for this. The three most common hooks for trout flies are:
Tiemco TMC 100 - Down Eye, 1X Fine, Wide Gape, Forged, Bronze - Dry Flies
Tiemco TMC 3761 - Sproat Bend, Down Eye, 2X Heavy, 1X Long, Forged, Bronze - Nymphs & Wet Flies
Tiemco TMC 5263 - Perfect Bend, Down Eye, 2X Heavy, 3X Long, Forged, Bronze - Nymphs & Streamers
If you want to stock up on hooks, you will need a selection of the models listed above.
Other brands have hooks that are shaped to the same specifications. They just have different model numbers.
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
tiemco is an excellent choice for hooks but with the quality of today's hooks from the mom & pop distributors, i feel there's no need to tie a new tyer down to specific hook manufacturers. thats why my list above is generic.
i would also recommend barbless hooks but that too becomes a personal preference and that becomes the splitting hairs the list was trying to avoid.
i will add to my list above a style of hook such as dry, nymph and streamer.
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
What materials Flytyer has listed is pretty well spot on.
There was a similar previous Thread to which Larry & I replied where I mentioned where Kits were a waste of money as lots of the stuff you hardly/never used.
Over many years I've sourced Feathers & Materials as well as hooks from all around The World where I still buy most of my gear.
I mainly used Mustard Tiemco & all the other Top Line Hooks however I've found other Hooks which do The Same Job & are a lot CHEAPER.
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
i was going to post here but added a new thread/topic
Re: Beginner fly tyers material list
What happened to the list? I was hoping to print it out and go shopping...

Soylents: a comparative review of future foods
Check out my currently recommended review: Huel. Skip straight to specific reviews for Joylent, Queal, Ambronite & Jake. An introduction to "future food"
A few years ago, a man called Rob Rhinehart got annoyed with the state of food. He was fed up with spending time and money on just staying alive.
Sure, food can be super enjoyable. Nothing is going to tear me away from the many pizzas in my life. But his point holds firm: much of the time, food is just nutrition, just fuel to keep us alive. Why have we not made it cheaper and simpler?
Richard, about our bikes…
Dear Mr Branson.
I write this as a huge appreciator of magnificent beards, and of your tie-less philosophy. I'm a GP, who generally appears rugged and agile (read, "lazily unshaven and unwilling to iron his shirts"). I do own a tie, but I'm not sure where it currently is.
Half Marathon Chris
I've been steadily getting more interested in fitness, running, and healthy living. Over the last couple of years, I've lost a decent chunk of weight, and started running and cycling a lot more. I still sweat like a geriatric horse, unfortunately.
In the last 18 months I've completed my first Triathlon, my first 10K road race, and this weekend, my first Half Marathon…
