For an online article in Square I shot T.J. Tregeagle at the American Fork Skatepark, the other day I realized that I never posted them, so here they are.
This top photo is one of my favorites. I was looking at Erik Seo’s action photography and I noticed some of his sepia work. He [...]
On Saturday, Ben moved all of his stuff out of the house, bound for Austin, TX to start a new life. He got transferred to a new office. A huge North American big rig showed up, along with about 7 guys, to help him move. I took a long drive around East County to stay out of their way. I went through El Cajon, Julian, Cuyamaca, and returned through Ramona and Poway. I noticed a lot of folks sti
JACKSON, Mich. – A man accused of stabbing his mother with a fork and attacking a second woman with 10 pounds of frozen chicken has pleaded guilty to one count of felonious assault. Frederick McKaney, 40, entered the plea Friday in Jackson County Circuit Court. Prosecutors dropped additional assault, larceny and other charges.Prosecutors said McKaney stabbed his mother with a fork June 23 and la
I have to tell ya, the people at Foodbuzz really know how to treat their featured publishers! Since signing up with them, they've sent me a tote bag, an apron, a spatula, and sweet business cards. Last Thursday, a group of us featured Philadelphia food bloggers, got together at Fork Restaurant, ate some food, drank some wine, and shared some laughs. All on Foodbuzz's dime! How awesome is that!

It is a really great place that is very secluded and very rugged. Each year there is a 24 mile mountain bike race there and dozens of people come from all around to ride in this race.
To get there you go to smoke hole and then out smoke hole road about 12 miles. The road [...]

Take a look at this. It WAS a normal, plastic fork. Until my husband needed to use it for something other than eating.
No, he did not use the fork to give people the bird. He used it for something slightly stranger and grosser. My husband has made MANY inventions for the same purpose. When we [...]

What do the young people say? "Stick a fork in me, I'm done?" Yes, I am done. (Also? I am 80. Well, that's what it feels like, anyway.)Today was Day One in the week of crazy over-scheduled family life. Do you know what makes a cree-ay-zee week like this even more fun? Having a relation call you in the evening, fully expecting that the family grapevine has done it's job, to tell you that they
I just keep stumbling into this online. Why is it so maddening people?
If you don't like KDE4 (in any of its iterations), don't use it. KDE3 is still around.
What's all the fuss??
OK, Iâve now tried KDE 4.1. Iâd been assured that it would be better than KDE 4.0x. It is. Thatâs the good news. The bad news is that I still find KDE 4.1 to be inferior to KDE 3.5x. KDEâs developers believe that KDE 4.1 âcan fully replace KDE 3 for end users.â I donât see it.

Pricking sausages with a fork has been said to have been necessary in post-war Britain, when meat was scarce and the sausages were bulked up with cereal. The extra water involved in using fillers would cause the sausage casings to rupture when subjected to heat. And sometimes it is said to have given off a bang in the process, hence the term 'bangers'. Pricking the sausages was said to relieve
So, I’m wandering around the internet, checking out my blogroll, when I came across a post by my good friend, Don Lewis. Apparently, his heart is still filled with joy from a few months ago when I lovingly tagged him with a “meme.”
For those that don’t know, a “meme” is the blog version of a [...]
We all had our turns in screaming out caution to our kids (or to anyone's kid for that matter) if we see them running around with a fork or a pointy thing. NEVER RUN WITH A SHARP OBJECT may well be one of a mother's mantra to her kids (again, or to anyone's kids). Below is a picture that tells it all - the outcome of running with a fork.Umm... you're thinking the tip of the fork grazed the kid's
This budget model fork can be had for as little as €120, so it is not intended for downhill or competition use. The model we tested boasted 120mm of travel, although at the softest setting, only about half of that was effectively utilised (even after a substantial break-in period).
In any other situation it’s called a partial seizure. During a showing it’s called The Thanksgiving Turkey Test. That’s the one where the buyers are pretty interested in the home and everything is going pretty well, then suddenly the female half of the buying couple makes a beeline back into the kitchen and just stands

A blind man walks into a restaurant and sits down. The waiter, who isalso the owner, walks up to the blind man and hands him a menu.“I’m sorry, sir, but I am blind and can’t read the menu. Just bring me adirty fork from a previous customer. I’ll smell it and order fromthere.”A little confused, the owner walks over to the dirty dish pile and picksup a greasy fork. He returns to the blind
Just a quick post… it’s been a big weekend for Tatum. Yesterday we had a private lesson with our obedience instructor near a dog park. Tatum was frustrated that she couldn’t go play with the dogs. I want her to focus on me instead. And it was a new place, and she was [...]

Lately I have been reflecting quite a bit upon where I was two years ago…where I was last year and comparing these two pasts to where I stand in this present point in time. It has been quite a journey so far and I can’t imagine that it would get any less interesting as time goes on. When I finally made the decision to get and stay clean no matter what, I started my first footsteps upon a path I had never ventured forth upon. I understand today it was a fork in the road of my life that was always available to me, but one that I did not have the courage to travel. That road was one that would lead me to me…it was my road home. The last two and a half years have been spent diligently working on the aspects of myself that served no purpose in me discovering who I was at the core of my

In this 2008 election voters are coming out in mass numbers to have their voice finally heard. Why you may ask are people so passionate about politics when for the past two decades voting has been viewed as more of a chore than a civic duty and a privilege? The answer is simple. These Americans are all huddling around one single premise that seems to have found a place on the democratic candidates political platforms. The idea of change is appealing to almost all voters in this upcoming election. After eight years of George Bush's failed policies America's citizens are looking for a leader with the inept ability to carry us to this new world where America is the true super power that it is quite capable of being. The question is who is more apt to bring about change in government? Hillary
We have previously posted on a couple of of fork/spoon/knife combinations, but for some reason we have missed the Knork. The idea came to Knork inventor Mike Miller while eating pizza with a group of friends. Trying to cut and eat pizza with just a fork, he realized he had a better idea. After several years he pursued a patent by researching and developing a prototype. He took a regular fork and covered it in auto putty with the hopes of creating a multi-functional utensil. After taking pictures of people of all ages using a regular fork, Miller combined all this into one utensil that was suitable for all ages and right or left handed users.
A Frenchman, an Englishman, and a New Yorker were captured by cannibals. The chief comes to them and says, "the bad news is that now that we've caught you, we're going to kill you. We will put you in a pot and cook you, eat you, and then use your skins to build a canoe. The good news is that you get to choose how you die." The Frenchman says, "I take ze sword." the chief gives him a sword, he says, "Vive la France!" and runs himself through. The Englishman says, "a pistol for me, please." the chief gives him a pistol, he points it at his head, says, "God save the queen!" and blows his brains out. The New Yorker says, "gimme a fork." the chief is puzzled, but he shrugs and gives him a fork. The new Yorker takes the fork and starts jabbing himself all over-- the stomach, the sides, the chest
My parents used to get annoyed with me as a child for leaving food on my plate. I was reminded – and not infrequently – of those starving children in Africa. It didn't stop me not liking Brussels sprouts though. Or cabbage. Or spinach. I've just read through Doris Lessing's Nobel Prize acceptance speech in which she recalls her childhood in Africa and laments that children in Zimbabwe are starving for knowledge. I could understand hungering for food when I was a kid, not that I ever did, but hungering for knowledge? If I wanted to know something I just asked my dad.There were books in the house where I grew up, dictionaries, encyclopaedias, self-help books, but no fiction apart from children's storybooks, mainly by Enid Blyton who probably deserves a whole blog to herself one day. It was not my parents' fault. My mother always told us how her sister was the dux of the school whereas she was the dunce; my father had been the school bully and fared no better. After though he set
The Philippine Blogging Community has successfully transformed a vibrant network of webpages and journals into even livelier off-line blogger meetups and events. You can’t really compete with parties. The once faceless bloggers get a chance to pick their best shirt and make a strong and hopefully positive impression with the other once mysterious personas behind random URLS.
It’s a chicken and an egg story, but for some reason, there has been an explosion of profit-driven bloggers as of now. Though blogging primarily for financial rewards is in itself not repulsive - not to mention that almost all bloggers have some bastard child of AdSense or Bidvertiser — it somehow takes a way from the whole idea of keeping a blog. I would like to think that self-expression is at its purest form when it is not influenced by monetary-inclined aspirations.
Sadly,the trend has been going towards the opposite end of the spectrum. The thrust is undeniably inline towards that direction
Stephen Colbert today writes more than half of Maureen Dowd's column in the NY Times. We like it, it's funny and it's sarcastic. The DemGaz will be mighty happy they publicly banished Dowd years ago from the Op-Ed section. Instead they have the talent of Mike Masterson and a couple of nitwits from Jonesboro who we won't even name here (though we have named them in the past.)
Colbert talks about the talk about his possible run for the White House.
Hey, Reagan and GW Bush both won, so why not? It's not impossible...after all, Dobson and his lunatics say they're looking for a third party candidate, maybe they've found their man?
Our nation is at a Fork in the Road. Some say we should go Left; some say go Right. I say, “Doesn’t this thing have a reverse gear?” Let’s back this country up to a time before there were forks in the road — or even roads. Or forks, for that matter. I want to return to a simpler America where we ate our meat off the end of a sharpened stick.
The garden fork is one of the most important tools one could have living in their shed. Apart from the pick it's probably the first tool we grab when the job requires a little more grunt. It's multiple pronged action can loosen soil with minimal damage to plant roots; aerate the compost heap; and, divide those clumping perennials without too much fuss.
Most of us gardeners would have at least one garden fork in our arsenal, and some would have a few more. But is it essential to even have one?
The answer can only be given based on the type of gardening you enjoy. If you live in an apartment and your garden consists of a small balcony then a digging fork is possibly not required. And, if your compost heap resides within a tumbler or composter then, again, it's most likely not going to be needed.
But, if you dig in soil then one of these babies is a must-have gardening tool.
What jobs are garden forks used for?
Here's a list of possible tasks that a garden fork would be useful

There was the diet plate. Now what do we have next? The diet fork.
The claims of this new diet tool include:
* Shorter and dulled teeth inhibiting user from grasping larger pieces of food at any one time
* Smaller triangular shaped surface area allowing dieter to hold less food than many other forks
* Uncomfortable grip compelling user to put fork down between bites, slowing the user’s eating speed
The features of this utensil sound ridiculous to me. I might as well use chopsticks, since I’m not so good at using them making me drop more food than eat enough. But like many “wonder” tools, I won’t wonder if there are going to be numerous weight-conscious folks who’d go gaga over it.
It’s available in a 10 pack for $8.95.

Picture it, a small office kitchenette. I am rummaging around in the silverware drawer, anxiously looking for a fork."Um, what are you doing?""Huh?" "What are you doing?""Oh, looking for a fork.""And any one of the dozens in the fork slot aren't good enough for you?""I want a fork - to eat with, not pitch hay. These are huge, I'm looking for a dessert fork. At this point I'd settle for a spork.""Really. That's nice."End scene.(I guess I learned something about myself today that I had never realized before. I avoid using large forks. Why? I have no idea. Thinking about it, I do tend to use the dessert forks in our silverware set for everyday meals. Unless I am in a fancy restaurant, then I just go with the flow.)
As our catchphrase denotes we like to throw the odd curiosity in with all the high-tech gadgets and gizmos and this frankly ridiculous Diet Fork certainly merits an entry under the ‘curiosity’ label. And, whilst initially I thought that this was a joke, having proceeded with clicking through to order one of these ‘revolutionary’ diet forks I can confirm that I found myself in a secure page requesting my details.
The Diet Fork, according to the product site, ‘is here to provide dieters the necessary tool to help assist in portion control, a key factor in weight loss’ and basically consists of a disposable type plastic fork with the following (revolutionary?) design elements built in:
Shorter and dulled teeth inhibiting user from grasping larger pieces of food at any one time.
Smaller triangular shaped surface area allowing dieter to hold less food than many other forks.
Uncomfortable grip compelling user to put fork down between bites, slowing the user’s eating spee
