"I knew it wasn’t going to be easy — it was something I had to do. I am in love with the city. And what relationship is good if you don’t work for it?"IAN INGERSOLL, 25, on being a newcomer in New York City.In the New York Times this morning, the narcissist in me was struck by how many times I felt like Cara Buckley was citing my blog for her N.Y./Region article Newcomers Adjust, Eventually,

FC Twente 0 - 2 Arsenal 0 - 1 Gallas (63) 0 - 2 Adebayor (84) In the end a comfortable scoreline and a tie that was in keeping with the style of the two previous Champions League Qualifying away ties; just enough effort to win from playing within themselves alongside some near misses for the opposition along [...]

So, Iron Man finally made it to the dollar movie, but Beloved and I hadn't seen Prince Caspian yet! What to do, what to do?Well, thanks to an unmotivated Cinemark employee and some misplaced signs, we waited half an hour for the show to start, only to discover we had been directed into the theater showing Baby Mamma. Yes, we missed both Prince Caspian and Iron Man, which were already well into thi

It's the Juggernaut, bitches! And it's his very first appearance from Uncanny X-Men #12!:Dang it all! You weren't supposed to know about this device that is supposed to be a big secret even though we made it capable of emitting a loud, uninterrupted alarm sound (which it's doing right now)! Forget you saw Cerebro! And forget I called it Cerebro! Dammit, see what you made me do?____________________

I’m in a real hurry – I have a date with I. today – but I must clarify what happened last night, since my last post is not exactly relevant – since, usually, starting with things like “I’m pathetic, I can’t change my life, I’m ugly and a bad flirt” and ending with “Yay! I’m sooo happy” could mean one of two things: you’re either a real lunatic, or you really have problems

Analysts say the Canadian economy is likely to benefit in the long run from the decision by the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury Department help the mortgage lenders known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Federal National Mortgage Association, usually referred to as Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Mortgage Corporation, nicknamed Freddie Mac, [...]

Prime property price falls for the first time in 4 years. Eventually one'd expect to see a snowball effect into the private condos mass market and HDB resales market. We'd all remember that it was the prime property market that triggered the recent property boom in the first place. It's therefore logical to expect a reversal of the market movement now, right ?Let's examine some market responses in

I drew these in a hurry and since there are so many, I was too lazy to redraw them more clearly. So I just added some colour scribbles and decided to post it. I'm kind of proud of my car angles though.

In this article, I introduce some basic ideas about how to approach either a remodel or a purchase of a home that might require some updating, including costs and professionals. I also take a look at solar panels and indoor air quality. Hopefully the first in a series, since my space was quite limited by the publisher. Originally published in the Castro Courier in April 2008. It's also worth notin

By Shawn Tully, editor at largeHigh-flying tech stocks crashed. The roaring housing market crumbled. And oil, rest assured, will follow the same path down.Not everyone agrees. In an echo of our most recent market frenzies, some experts pronounce that the "world has changed," and that the demand spikes, supply disruptions, and government bungling we face now will saddle us with a future of $4, $5 o

Forgiveness. *sigh*...So much meaning is one little word. The concept is something that I think maybe I've always struggled with. The dictionary definitions says..."To excuse for a fault or an offense; pardon. To renounce anger or resentment against."I get the definition....it's the putting it into practice deal that I get stuck on, sometimes. In my head forgiveness looks like this: Someone causes

I had the pleasure of attending a Philadelphia phenomenon, the Prom send-off! A Prom Send Off is sort of like Sweet 16 birthday meets the Cotillion. Our Prom Queen had invited family and friends and almost everyone has a role. Several women are assigned cooking duties, cleaning responsibilities, hospitality and production and they are good in their respective roles. Our Cinderella awaits in a

The Xbox 360 has been plagued with problems since their release, and the most serious of those has been the 3 red light error signaling a general hardware failure. Microsoft originally claimed that only about an industry standard 5-6 percent of consoles were affected. However, most experts agree that up to one third of all early units were affected. Microsoft has never released any updated numb

So the Wi-Fi hotspot situation has everyone (including us) pretty confused and a little frustrated at this point. Fortunately Saul Hansell of the NY Times decided to place a call to AT&T spokesman Fletcher Cook to get some answers. He says that the offer on their website that was posted and then promptly removed was "a human error".

Real Madrid have little chance of signing Cristiano Ronaldo in the immediate future but if the Portugal striker leads Manchester United to continued success he could end up at the Bernabeu, according to coach Bernd Schuster.

Dear Neighboring Town with the monster-sized potholes that nearly swallowed my husband's car whole - You'll be paying for at least one new rim and one new tire. If not for the whole set of rims because, apparently, they don't make this style anymore. Just be happy you won't be paying for my therapy because I thought for sure the road had opened up and was about to swallow me and my daughter

Let me start out by saying that I have no idea where this post is going.When I started studying world religions, I began with Hinduism. I had no intention of my new hobby appearing on my blog. But as I read and mulled and steeped, I started feeling things, thinking thing. Things I couldn't quite put into words, yet things I wanted to share and sort through outside of my own head. I sat down to type one day, and this came out. From then on, this has been a collective journey, and I like it better that way.But recently, I've been feeling cramped, almost as though I had deadlines to achieve or that this meandering journey of mine has become full of expectations I must meet. I've read and contemplated and learned so much in the past months; I think I need to change things up a bit. Up until no

I came home to a peaceful house this evening - AND a plate of fish sticks and macaroni and cheese. I actually got to read a little more of Jill Christman's autobiography and, wow, it amazes me that she is able to fillet her soul (word pun, get it?) for the world to see. I have asked her before about how hard this had to have been - if she was worried about hurting people, etc. She said that it really never occurred to her. Maybe she was too young? Maybe she looks at it as par for course?Tonight, in a Writer's Group meeting (a group of Grad creative writers who are getting together to re-workshop), I was surprised by the positive feedback for my non-fiction piece about Jimmy's funeral. I worried that it came across as boring, but they really seemed to like it (or perhaps because it was

By: Kevin Dark The fact is that a computer comprises several processors however the one regularly used by advertisers when they want to draw attention to the power of a computer commonly relates to the Central Processing Unit (CPU).Few individuals will not have heard of Intel or AMD processors while their significance to the advertising community and thereby the general public at large is comparable to the way motor manufacturers sell their cars. If in the market for a sports car an individual usually wants as much performance as is available hence manufacturers will sell their most powerful cars simply by stating the number of cylinders a particular model possesses. By using just two letters such as V8 - a message is sent to the public consumer who will automatically recognize that this indicates a potentially powerful engine. The equivalent term to excite the adrenalin rush in the computer buyer today is probably a "Dual Core Processor".However before describing the merits of dual co

Some days everything seems to go wrong. Despite feeling empowered after a very productive meeting, the deadlines begin to suffocate. the weekend evaporates into thin air. The issues from the accident are getting worse. The pain. Both physical and financial. Everything is crashing in around me.

Unfortunately, though we had great pleasure in being invited, we couldn’t make 3’s press event in London on Monday concerning their new Skype enabled cell phone which will allow users to make free calls to other Skype users but, with no less than four – see below - of their new SkypePhones presently on route to us you can expect a hands on review here on TFTS any time soon. In actuality we should have received review units on Monday but, thanks to the UK’s Royal Mail, the first package of handsets failed to arrive until today – just when we happen to have been out and after 3 had been kind enough to dispatch more units to us via DHL . The result is the first set of two units are presently located in a sorting office whilst the DHL chaps are winging their way to us with an alternative set of two further units. We would like to thank 3 for arranging to get these additional units to us (thanks Jack) and we very much look forward to sharing our findings concerning their new Skyp

You may not have succeeded in everything you want yet. There might not be a romantic partner in your life. Money might be a little tight. But as long as you have integrity, consider yourself a success!Many people get ahead by being cutthroat. Others say what people want to hear to get more. People screw friends in order to steal their romantic partner. And still others sell a false bill of goods for personal gain. They might seem like they won, or benefited from their ruthless ways. But ultimately, they’re the losers. People around them know what they’re like. And eventually, it will come back to haunt them since what goes around really does come around. DoorMats are on the other side of the spectrum. They screw themselves in the name of being nice. That’s not having integrity either!I constantly hurt myself when I lived in DoorMatville! I’d cancel plans to help someone. Nice! Nice! Nice! I was always seeking a path to be nice by doing whatever people wanted, except for what I

The answer at least as far as Wasim Akram - former captain of the Pakistan cricket team is yes and the reasons he gives make a helluva lot of sense:-“Twenty20 cricket already has the potential to replace the ODIs as the most populist version of the sport,” Akram told Reuters on Friday. “The Twenty20 World Cup has been a big success in terms of the interest it has evoked and people coming in to the grounds. You didn’t get such big crowds and excitement even in the World Cup in West Indies.”“For a cricket lover it is the ideal format. The match finishes in around three and half hours and there is plenty of excitement and tension for the spectators and viewers,”This is no wannabe expert of cricket or marketing but the great Wasim Akram himself. The man has played cricket for many many years with one of the most successful cricketing careers and if anyone understands the game, he definitely does.Sure, purists are going to say that this will only hurt cricket but then such pur

People who experience more dejections would more likely to get tougher. There is, however, this possibility that he would become emotionless.Would you still care for me if one day I lose my innocence and ignorance?You have never cared and you never will, and so, does it matter? Oh, so it really doesn’t matter to you.Why are you here reading about me? If I have continued to type every single detail of my daily life, will you bother? Are you here just to find out whether did I curse you after you mistreat me?I feel the need to get wild and one day I’m going to lose myself. You know one day even you cannot stop me. By then, don’t feel guilty. SiLlYDuMb @ http://sillydumb.com

Jim Press, Toyota Motor Corp.’s North American chief said in a press conference that vehicles powered by gasoline-electric hybrid engines will rule all the U.S. roads as the fuel prices continue to rise.Toyota executives expect at least 175,000 hybrid Prius to be sold this year in North America .The hybrids reduce the fuel use and CO2 emissions by combining a gasoline engine, an electric motor with a battery pack and brakes that capture energy frm stopping.Press compared the Prius with “Model T when you look back“, reffering to the first low-cost model built by FoMoCo more than 80 years ago.The average price of a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. rose 28 percent this year to $2.98, according to the American Automobile Association. This is the third straight summer that U.S. gasoline prices have topped $3.

Today Ben, Jack, my mum and I ventured out in search of culture and higher learning.  We visited the Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow after spending 90 minutes in a traffic jam trying to get there (it should take about 20 minutes). We saw loads of cool stuff including a real WWII Spitfire suspended from the roof, Dali’s Christ of St John on the Cross, dinosaurs and Elvis.  Well worth a visit, but check the traffic first! 

Roger; eager to get on the water after being restrained on a car roof for the best part of a day.We eventually reached the Washburn at six (that's three hours of travelling for me and just under ten and a half hours for Roger) and unloaded the boats, paid our subs, got changed and eventually headed to the river.In total there were thirteen paddlers associated with the canoe club I am a member of so on this I decided that I would keep myself and Roger to ourselves for the evening and enjoy a bit of time together with out any other paddler getting in our 'zone'. Don't get me wrong I'm not some antisocial boater that likes to paddle on their own without interacting with the paddlers around them - I smiled and said "hello" to fellow paddlers and shared the odd word in the eddies - but I felt that to get the most out of the evening I would be better left to myself and anyway it is advised to paddle the Washburn in small groups and obviously one is the smallest group physically possibl

Thirteen Required Attributes of Any Church I (Might Eventually) AttendTime to look at the glass from the opposite direction, i.e., half full.Last week, I shared thirteen of the things I do not miss about the institutional church. This week, I'm enumerating, in no particular order, thirteen of the attributes or characteristics I consider mandatory in order for me to worship regularly within an organized community of believers.1. Purpose -- Witnessing and worshiping must be the primary stated goals of the community and the focus of its activities, as opposed to social interactions.2. Radical inclusivity -- This requirement pretty much rules out any resumption of corporate worship for me and, frankly, that is really disappointing.A faith community must espouse and live out the principal of radical inclusivity, not just give lip service to the concept. There must be an intentional, deliberate, consistent welcoming of persons of all races, colors, ancestries, national origins, genders,

After the first specs of the incoming Apple iPhone were released to the media, a swarm of murmurs raised from the crowds, cause the iPhone didn’t have a lot of functions that supposed to be obligatory for 2007. One of them is the lack of 3G connectivity. But Apple has announced that will take care of the issue, launching a new version of the handset, just a couple of months after the first model will hit the stores. We won’t see the 3G iPhone sooner than January 2008 though.

GM plans to be the first automaker to produce one million fuel-cell-powered vehicles in a year. When? Good question. In May, GM's VP for R&D, Larry Burns, said his employer aims to have fuel-cell vehicles in the showroom "around 2011 or 2012" then ramp-up production to a million worldwide after that. But today in Shanghai, where GM unveiled "environmentally friendly" models to the Chinese market, Elizabeth Lowrey (another GM VP) told Reuters they now have no target date for mass production. In a blinding flash of the obvious, she revealed "You have to bring the technology along before you know when you are going to get to a million vehicles." Then to show her environmental acumen, she added "You have to make sure that any of these technologies are out there in great volume to make a difference for the environment." With executives like this waiting in the wings, it shouldn't be hard selecting a suitable sound-bite successor to Maximum Bob

Ford is bringing the Fiesta back to the US of A (AP via Yahoo!). Lke the Fusion, this American car will be Hecho en Mexico.

Yeah, that sucks. But hey, they're banking billions while they count worry beads. And increasing production by half a million barrels of crude per day won't exactly hurt Saudi income. PLUS it wins the Saudis friends in the U.S., which still has a couple of aircraft carrier groups here and there. The New York Times reports that the reported increase comes on top of another reported increas
