I love this place. Once upon a time, I went to a tiny little church in South Australia near the ocean. It was on a side street I never would have happened upon had I not known about it. A mammoth cat and two llamas greeted my arrival. Inside, I was served some amazing local food and it rocked my world a bit. It tasted fresh, delicious, complex and thoughtful, and that was only breakfast. So

The Antec Nine Hundred "gamer case" has just gotten a new sibling: the Twelve Hundred. Both enclosures share a similar design, featuring lots of expansion capacity, ample cooling options (via large LED fans), a case window, and little gadgets to keep enthusiasts happy. The Twelve Hundred builds upon that formula with additional expansion capacity, greater cooling power, as well as new features like fan speed controls and a washable intake air filter.Hardware mounted inside the Antec Twelve Hundred case will be kept chilly by a 200mm top fan, two 120mm rear fans, and three 120mm front fans, all with three-speed controllers and blue LEDs. As if that somehow weren't enough, Antec has included two additional fan mounts for a total of up to eight fans, and there's a liquid cooling platform that

Was this speaker stark raving mad? One hundred goals? He thought I could come up with 100 goals for my life?The speaker, Mark Victor Hansen, compiled the hugely successful Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books with Co-Author Jack Canfield. He challenged the assembled throng at the Women's Business Conference to brainstorm 100 life goals.Further, he encouraged us to work with a partner with whom we would swap lists. Together we would encourage each other to develop our list. We would hold each other accountable. We would help each other eventually reach these 100 life goals.Seeing that he was where he was, and I was where I was, I decided to take his advice! How many best sellers does Mark Victor Hansen have anyway? Exactly my point! He was a best selling writer, highly paid motivationa

CHICAGO – At the base of its premise as a documentary, “Young@Heart” seems like a can’t-miss proposition. Take a senior-citizen choral group and have them sing rock ‘n’ roll. But what really emerges is an essence and poignancy that goes beyond the black and white of just singing the rock songs. As the “Grateful Dead” once sang: “In every silver lining there is a touch of grey.” Director of the “Young@Heart” chorus Bob Cilman.Photo credit: Brandy Eve Allen HollywoodChicago.com recently interviewed three of the major components of “Young@Heart”.

(originally published at MWC News) John McCain, the Republican candidate for president who dubiously claims the status of war hero because he was imprisoned and beaten after bombing civilian targets in North Vietnam 40 years ago, apparently wants other young men to have the chance to become war heroes. He continues to be dogged by a remark he made in January during the New Hampshire primary. At a town meeting a man asked McCain what he thought of President Bush’s statement that U.S. forces could be in Iraq for 50 years. “Maybe 100!” McCain said. “We’ve been in Japan for 60 years. We’ve been in South Korea for 50 years or so. That would be fine with me as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. It’s fine with me — I hope it’d be fine with yo

But he must have known he was endangering the lives of other road users and his children.Are Bedlington magistrates seriously unable to keep Colin Goodall, who I will name because he is a pillock, off the road for longer?Given that Damien Duff was banned for 42 days (another piddling sentence) for driving at the same speed, I reckon not.Anyone driving along the A189 near Cramlington, where Duff and Goodall decides to endanger themselves and others, should watch out.Still, Colin Goodall has a supporter.

In Sydney ground (PTI): Sachin Tendulkar hit back at his critics who questioned his inability to strike form in one-day cricket of late, saying he did not bother about the comments of those without any credibility. Tendulkar scored an unbeaten 117 to guide India to a six-wicket win against Australia in the first match of their best-of-three finals of the cricket tri-series. "A lot of those people who can't do certain things themselves, they talk, so let them talk," Tendulkar said. "I look at the credibility of the person who is writing. I prefer to listen to those people who matter to me. They do pick up the phone and tell me," he said. Tendulkar said he was thrilled to get the century and more so because it was a match-winning effort. "Yes, to score a century in Australia was something I

- Once aptly described as rock's bridesmaids, Surrey based Hundred Reasons have never quite reached the dizzying heights I personally believe they deserve. Despite having released four albums, including new addition Quick the Word, Sharp the Action, they're set to play the underdogs supporting post-hardcore new boys Enter Shikari on an upcoming UK tour. As one of a few warm up shows before the impending support slot, The Works nightclub in Kingston isn't jam-packed – however, there is a definite sense of anticipation in the air. It's not the most obvious of venues – the stage being a small pit surrounded by the enormously tacky industry-themed space – but nevertheless Glaswegian support act The Xcerts do enough to raise the crowd. In future, however, I would advise the lead singer to refrain from foraying into the crowd with a megaphone - in a space such as this, it just doesn't work. Hundred Reasons take to the stage launching into favourites “Kill Your Own”, “If I

Time for an album review. This week its the new record from Hundred Reasons called "Quick The Word Sharp The Action", out on V2 Records.. Background: Hundred Reasons have been around for awhile now. Since 1999 to be exact. With new album "Quick The Word Sharp The Action", the band are now on album number 4. Previous releases have included the Gold selling debut LP "Ideas Above Our Station" (2002), "Shatterproof Is Not A Challenge" (2004), and "Kill Your Own" (2006). The current lineup of the band is Andy Bews (Drums), Colin Doran (Lead Vocals), Den Doyle (Guitar), Andy Gilmour (Bass), and Larry Hibbitt (Guitar and Vocals). Over the years this band has had to overcome adversity time and time again, ranging from being dropped from their label, to lead singer Colin Doran being threatened with career ending vocal problems. But they keep bouncing back and coming up with excellent albums, and this new one is no different.Review: On first listening to the new album, I have to admit I wasn't

… wait until someone tries to pick it up, then assume that person is a thief and arrest them. Sounds like a good idea doesn’t it? Our military thinks so. A Pentagon group has encouraged some U.S. military snipers in Iraq to target suspected insurgents by scattering pieces of “bait,” such as detonation cords, plastic explosives and ammunition, and then killing Iraqis who pick up the items, according to military court documents. U.S. Aims To Lure Insurgents With ‘Bait’ - washingtonpost.com Of course, our military isn’t arresting. They are shooting to kill. It frightens me that something like this can pass muster as a good idea.

I’ve got to tell ya that I’ve found another favorite author. Hundred Dollar Baby by Robert Parker, is #34 in the series, and is written just the way I like them. The book opens with a former teen-age runaway turned madam of a bordello April Kyle walking into Spencer’s office asking for help. The two have a relationship from previous years and the emotion shows. Spencer who has a soft spot for April agrees to help her with the problem of allegedly being harassed by an unknown assailant. Then there is a couple of murders of which anyone could be the trigger puller.The deeper Spencer digs the more he finds out that at every turn and question someone is lying to him about what’s really going on, including April. The story is packed with bad guys, and bad-good guys that beat the living crap out of anyone who crosses them. Hundred Dollar Baby ends with a bang that really doesn’t surprise, but the dialog in the story is great. Parker sprinkles minute details that make you feel as th

Back-to-school time and, of course, educational funding is on everyone’s mind.Really, it is. According to Mark Ames in an article in NewsLeader, “Education Funding Increase Uncertain,”:In mid-July, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, which would provide approximately $152 billion for education, labor, and health care programs – and increase of about $7 billion over last year and more than $9 billion over President Bush’s budget request.The Senate is still considering its version of the bill, which is reported in the article to be about $2.3 billion less than the version approved by the House. The article also indicates that despite bipartisan support for the both of these proposals, “President Bush has promised to veto the legislation, as each exceeds the recommended funding levels in his budget request.” Also in mid-July, Noah Shactman reported in DANGER ROOM

This intersection SUCKS!! If you are trying to get across 360 you will only get 3 cars across before the light turns red again. It is a bad intersection. Many people have complained about it..Subscribe to my Posts...

That’s the number of unread posts in my bloglines. Ugh. I’m going to read them tonight, but won’t be leaving any comments. Sorry - I just can’t. I’m sure you understand. More deets on the move coming soon. We’re in. We’re swimming in boxes. We have a fantabulous new bed that makes it all worthwhile. We have amazing friends without whom we certainly would have died this weekend. My mom brought mega food to feed all the movers and we’re still eating it because I really need a major grocery shop. Thank God for moms. Internet is back, and therefore all is well with the world. Need sleep. Mwah!

The year is 1907 - one hundred years ago. Here are some of the U.S. statistics for 1907. The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years. Only 14% of the homes had a bathtub. Only 8% of the homes had a telephone. A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost $11.00.There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S. and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower. The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year. The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents per hour. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, a dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year, and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95% of all births took place at home. 90% of all U.S. doctors had no college education. Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and the government as “substandard.” Sugar co

America’s Largest Foreclosed Real Estate Auction Firm, Hudson & Marshall, Will Auction Nearly 400 Atlanta Homes August 24-26 ATLANTA, Aug. 1 /PRNewswire/ — Combine fizzling home sales with the rising inventory in the foreclosure market and you have the perfect recipe for a buyer’s market. With time on their side and prices descending, buyers are weighing their choices and increasingly turning to real estate auctions to find even greater discounts on properties. Hudson & Marshall, America’s largest foreclosed real estate auction firm, will auction nearly 400 foreclosed homes located in Atlanta August 24-26 and about 30 homes in Macon, Georgia on August 28. Valued from $30,000 to about $500,000, all properties are foreclosed or “real estate owned” (REO), owned by national lenders. Each home comes guaranteed with title insurance, ensuring there are no back taxes or liens on the property. Winning bidders will be required to make a cash or persona

Yesterday saw the publication of an OpEd in The NY Times regarding the Iraq Theater in the war on terror written by Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack entitled, "A War We Just Might Win" Say, have you heard about it? Today, possibly as a counterbalance (as opposed to the editorial page's usual ever so slight, falling over LEFTIST tendency), to yesterday's opinion is one submitted by Nicholas Thompson, a senior editor at Wired magazine, "A War Best Served Cold" Thompson is currently authoring a biography about George F. Kennan, a career foreign service officer who is credited with formulating the policy of "containment," against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. According to Thompson, Kennan "gave American strategy a name, but not much else" Also the article, "X" published in Foreign Affairs "sixty years ago this month" was basically "grounded in a misunderstanding. Kennan didn't make clear whether he intended containment to

Has anyone seen those commercials for a new prescription diaper rash cream called Vusion? I thought it was odd, so I decided to look it up and get more info on it. I knew as soon as I saw the $25 rebate on the site it wouldn’t be good, because you know right then it’s going to cost way more than $25. More than $25 for a diaper rash cream..wtf?? So I check the ingredients- Miconazole Zinc Oxide White Petroletum Let me translate this for the average consumer- Monistat Desitin Vaseline The price for this magic combination of products that you can only get by paying your $15-$30 doctor co-pay? $98.93 (via Drugstore.com, and they tend to have very competitive prices) Every one of those above listed products can be found in any Walmart, and all of them come in store brands, which means you can treat your little one’s yeast rash for at MOST $12. What is it about companies trying to screw over new parents??? Share This

==========Good And Bad NewsThis old man visits his doctor and after a thorough examination, the doctor tells him, "I have good news and bad news, what would you like to hear first?"Patient: Well, give me the bad news first.Doctor: You have cancer, I estimate that you have about two years left.Patient: That's terrible! In two years, my life will be over! What kind of good news could you probably tell me, after this?Doctor: You also have Alzheimer's. In about three months you are going to forget everything I told you.

The realty firm, Deyaar, has confirmed that it has sold out four projects, worth Dh.1 billion within a few days of launch, thereby beginning a new trend in the vibrant property sector of the region.Among the four projects that have been sold, Fiftyone @ Business Bay and Mayfair Residency were sold out on the first day of the launch, and the other projects Metropolis and Mayfair Tower were sold within a week, thereafter.The CEO of Deyaar, Zack Shahin, said the quick sale of their projects proves that investors considered Deyaar to be a leading regional developer. He said "The speedy sale of Fiftyone @ Business Bay and Mayfair Residency is due to a combination of factors - compatibility with the needs of investors, architectural splendour, flexible payment terms and the substantial demand for Deyaar developments by investors."Currently, Deyaar is in the process of expanding its real estate portfolio and has announced various other new freehold developments, so that the soaring demand for

Three weeks ago the ladies of AfterEllen requested nominations for a list of top one hundred hotties. Of course, I was among the throngs of lesbian and bi girls who enthusiastically participated in this drudgery. The results are now in.The whole thing started when Maxim did its list.And I have to agree, any list where Lindsay Lohan, though an attractive girl, gets the top prize is a bit suspect. Though to their credit neither Paris Hilton nor Britney Spears made the cut.It's true there is probably as much shallowness involved in the AfterEllen selection as with the Maxim Hotties, however the whole package does generally play a more important role with the Lebanese.Lindsay Lohan does not have the depth to make the top (though I think she deserved more than the 79 she got):But Ellen Degeneres (No. 50) would never be selected as a Maxim babe:I wish I could share my ten nominations, but it is lost somewhere. However I did vote for the top vote getter, Leisha Hailey, who graces the top of

Last summer… A strip club… TOILET STALL… And the muffled moans! The girls must have been on ecstasy – those *shameless* sounds made my fingers drop the lipstick which, of course, rolled towards the “hot” stall. Needless to say I found myself not wanted there so I burst out of the room chuckling to myself and… well… with my clit "moaning" louder than the girls… ;)I’m against those “disturb the public peace” actions or breaking the law in some way (although, from my experience, disturbing the public turns routine sex into a steamy cum-fast-and-quiet session when ADRENALINE REALLY PUMPS!), but I’m definitely for experiments and variety in sex life.A no-mercy urge of lust struck us: on the beach; in the tall grass; in his office; in his sister’s house; in the pool; in the sea; and, of course, in the car and garage (these are our favorites ;)It's your turn, Adventurers!

Okay okay okay! I need to start getting back on track with healthy eating. Since I started this new thing… errr, that’s my secret and I haven’t talked about yet, my appetite has gone down, but so has my ability to really care about much. And so I’ve been eating a lot of chocolate chips and other unhealthy things. But since I don’t eat much, my weight is holding steady. If I were to use a calorie counter, I wonder how many calories I consume with these chocolate chips. I used to track my calories a lot, using a spreadsheet, but using an online system is easier, and I can do it from anywhere. And it’d be a good way to see what I’m eating. If I did that, I’d use a free calorie counter. And then I’d have to start watching what I eat. And making a better meal plan again. I know how to lose weight, I know what I have to do, I know how to eat healthy. I just have to make the decision to do it. Using MyFitnessPal for calorie counting he

flangracneig pgoramian A post doing the rounds in the (shudder) blogosphere is Paula’s List of Blogging Salaries. On it, Paula works out from the monthly income of blog how much they get a year. This got me thinking about things, and how much I make per month. So, in true Mike’s Money Making Mission Stylee, here is my monthly earnings for last month (in $). Text Link Ads: $63.29 Adsense: $37.36 AuctionAds: $11.61 Direct Sponsorship: £30 = $59.40 Amazon Affiliates: £15 = $29.70 Total: $201.36 Okay, not enough to go around the world, but it’s (just) over £100 a month, which makes it £1200 a year, doing something I enjoy doing, and will continue to do so even if I wasn’t doing that. It’s just a nice little bonus. That’s only the stuff that could be classed as “Monthly Income”. If we include things like signups for affiliate schemes such as Text Link Ads and Google Adsense, it could be a little bit more. Not bad for a - lack of a bette

=====================Forgiving Your EnemiesToward the end of the service, the Minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?" 80% held up their hands.The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady."Mrs. Jones? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?" "I don't have any," she replied, smiling sweetly."Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?""Ninety-eight," she replied."Oh, Mrs. Jones, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?"The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said:"I outlived the bitches."
