      Daily Links - Your Dinner Fork is on Your Left, Mr. Shanahan
      After a long week of finals and my wife’s graduation (she’s awesome), I have enough pent up blogging energy to start up three new Broncos blogs. But I like you guys, so I’ll keep it here. Get ready for a wild week! Mike Shanahan’s daughter and President George W. Bush’s daughter were roommates in [...]

      A fork in the road
      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

      Leipers Fork Estate Home Foreclosures
      Recently a local bank has had to take back two $1+ million estate homes in the Leipers Fork area of Franklin, TN 37064. For those of you not familiar with Leipers Fork, it is best described as a sleepy estate home town with rolling grassy hills, lazy streams, and the town Sherriff with a bubble gum machine on the roof of his car. It is a wealthy area full of country music stars and their equestrian facilities, but it’s real appeal is that Leiper’s Fork is really just a part of Franklin and no more than 25 miles from downtown Nashville.The two bank owned homes are each brand new construction, they both sit on at least 5 acres, and have at least 6,500 square feet. The smaller house is priced at $1.25 million and the larger is $1.35 million. The bank is not in too big of a hurry to dump t

      Fork in the moral high road
      That adoption paralysis I talked about a couple of posts ago? Here's what it's all about.I have this vision of ethical adoption in my head. It includes simple, logical practices that respect a mother's human and civil rights, ensure that her decision is truly unpressured, and ensure that the adoptee has access to his or her identity and information. Profit is absolutely out of the picture.My vision actually begins with pregnancy and parenting counseling provided by an agency whose sole mission is to do just that. This includes counseling to help mothers recognize their responsibilities to their children, as much as their own desires and capabilities. If the mother is underage, I see her parents as participants - to learn how to support their daughter and to avoid pressuring her into adopti

      A fork in the road.
      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

      Knife + fork = Knork.
      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.

      Fork Please
      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

      The perfect fork
      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 Fork
      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

      COLBERT'S NY TIMES EDITORIAL - "FORK IN THE ROAD"
      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.

      Basic Gardening Tools: The Garden Fork
      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

      Diet Fork: Weight Loss Tool
      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. source (?

      Oh, Fork
      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.)

      How The West Was Won---With A Knife & Fork
        I've always been fascinated by cowboys and the Old West. To me, cowboys represent the restless and independent spirit of America.  That being said and this being a food blog, I began to wonder to myself, "What did those cowboys eat anyhow?"The era of the "cowboys" began at the end of the Civil War and ended sometime in the late-1880's.  From the KANSAS CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY website we gain insight:"Each spring from 1866 - 1885, Texas longhorns were driven to railheads in Kansas or farther north to stock the open ranges. It took about a dozen cowboys to trail 2,000 head of cattle. Herd size ranged from around 1,000 head in the early years to 3,000 - 4,000 later on. For their labors, cowboys earned between $25 and $40 a month, plus their food.Most cowboys were young men, in their late teens or early twenties, and single. Cattle stampedes, hazardous trail conditions, and long hours in the saddle in all types of weather resulted

The individual, from their own perspective, is the traveler. And upon all travels, there is a road to follow. But the road is full of choices. Which fork will you choose? I’ve chosen the revolving life as a professional traveler. I decided, amidst my turbulent pubescent youth, that the road will always be mine, and thus found the lifestyle to support this decision. And today, as I prepare to follow the winding road once again, I’m reminded of a phase I heard long ago: “If there’s a fork in the road, take it.” The quote was read to me out of a book written by Pat Riley (one of the top ten NBA coaches of all-time according to NBA.com) entitled The Winner Within.

      Committing suicide with neither knife nor fork.
      There's a saying that roughly goes "Most suicides are committed with a knife - and a fork." This may well have to be changed, because now it seems we're softly killing ourselves without any cutlery at all. The Guardian has a bone chilling gut, wrenching special report on fast food and how the fast food business have succeeded to change our eating habits, generating huge profits for themselves and obesity and diabetes for the rest of us. One of the series of articles present an extract from Eric Schlosser's explosive new book; Chew on This, where he picks up where he left us after his first book, Fast Food Nation. In the new book, Schlosser again looks at the fast food industry - how it all began, its success, what fast food actually is, what goes on in the slaughterhouses, meatpacking factories and flavor labs, global advertising, merchandising in UK schools, mass production and the exploitation of young workers in the thousands of fast-food outlets throughout the world.

      Airbus A380: Stick a Fork in It, It's Done
      By William Trent, CFA of Stock Market Beat We have been saying that the Airbus A380 superjumbo jet is just too big:The only most successful US airline, Southwest (LUV) earned its success by offering non-stop flights from smaller airports. Rejional jets could open point-to-point non-stop service to an even larger number of even smaller airports - paving the way for the next Southwest.Smaller jets can be loaded and unloaded quickly, saving precious time for passengers and precious money for the operator - who can keep the jets flying (earning money) rather than sitting on the ground (costing money). Smaller airports allow passengers to pass more quickly through security, further saving time. Plus, greater point-to-point service to more markets means they also save time by not having to connect through hubs. Lacking the dramatic potential of larger jets, regional jets are likely to be avoided by terrorists.Basically, for most routes passengers won't want to wait for the other 400 passen
