We, Keoki and I, love Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar. Who doesn't?! In addition to the warm tropical air, the mellow sounds of Hawaiian slack key guitar music welcomes visitors to Hawaii when arriving in Honolulu Airport. One can't escape its magic. Listening to Hawaiian slack key guitar music is like coming home after a long journey. Whenever we have a chance to listen to one of the masters of thi

I have totally been slacking lately, not just on blogging, but keeping up with everything. I haven't been dancing lately, I haven't been reading lately, I haven't been playing my PS2, I even haven't been sitting outside with my feet up. I should be ashamed! Having fun should be a priority in life. We should make a point to do fun things! I mean, why not? Seriously, we spend so much time

Over in the Washington Post’s offices on 15th Street, Barack Obama is not only liked. He is well-liked. On the front page of today’s paper, Perry Bacon Jr. puts a very positive —almost a happy— face on what in other hands (or about another candidate) could have been a very negative article. For candidate X, the [...]

And there are indications the red-hot business may just cool down a tad further this year. "We believe the life insurance industry is potentially headed for a slowdown," A recent Deutsche Bank report said, adding, "Weaker equity markets are primarily responsible for the slowdown, but the sheer extent has taken us by surprise." A look at the year-end figures of life insurance business tracked by th

This isn't an original video for "Slack Motherfucker," obviously. But since the song that both launched and captured a catchphrase sounds like ass in its original mix, it's cooler to post this awesome vignette of live Superchunk video. (Thanks, guy on YouTube.)

         The Sacramento Kings, now a lottery-bound team, get to apprise a new role for the last few games of the NBA season - spoilers.  The Kings were without leading scorer Kevin Martin (right knee injury) and Brad Miller (leg/elbow injuries), so they had to manufacture some offense from other sources.  Saturday’s game would fins [...]

After days of practically no sleep, maybe 3 hours a night if I was lucky, I finally slept the sleep of the dead last night. And boy did I regret it when I woke up. I mentioned last week that our dogs were feeling poorly. They got better after a day or 2, but then it started over again. Except for the little schnauzer, he never gets sick. Until last night. I never heard him whimper… but he crawled over to the steps that go into our bedroom and apparently tried to ask us to take him outside. Thank heavens the kitchen area and front door area are all linoleum, as he made an awful mess. Not something I enjoyed as I came down the steps, bleary eyed, coffee deprived, and only half awake. Poor baby stayed right there until I rescued him. Meanwhile, as I washed the floor, the coffee pot ove

Spring Fever - Don't Let Your Children Slack In School! - From a teacher's point of view, this time of year can be a challenge in the classroom. Everyone has spring fever. The weather is getting prettier, it's warm outside, and there are only two or three more months of school left before summer vacation.

Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame. Proverbs 10:2-5 I like the part of this verse thats says "A slack hand causes poverty, but the hands of the diligent makes rich". Another translation reads, "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.". It's a good reminder that being hard working, ethical and forthright in your dealings will bring you good things. Laziness and wickedness will bring you ruin. Something I need to keep in mind when I'm tempted to try and make a qui

Have to admit it, I've been seriously slack at updating the blog, I would say I'm sorry but god only know who I'd be apologising to lol Hopefully in March I'll get a lot more time to write more posts...

Immature love is when you want the person you love to be happy with you.True love is when you want the person you love to be happy. Period.They say when you really want something, there are a hundred ways to get it; and when you really don't, there are a hundred excuses to get away from it. Yup. That is true, people.Anyway, I've been home-bound for the past couple of days. Spending hours listless in my room, trying to improvise my html skills, pigging out. I always wonder when will I start to grab some school books and do a bit of revision. Heaven knows there'll be no time for that once I touch my laptop. Ugh. Our schedule is so hectic I'm not even sure I can visit all the places I want to visit. Anyway, as I was saying, every night I keep telling myself that the next day is a new day, and it's never too late to commence a good thing. So then I will decide that I really will study, but I don't. Oh I just can't find any motivation to start studying. It's like, for what?. I've d

By Chris Williams @ www.theregister.co.uk  Financially-challenged US ISP Earthlink said on Tuesday it will slash about half its workforce after failing to ride the broadband wave Stateside. The Atlanta-based firm will can 900 staff as part of a sweeping cost-cutting exercise. It also lowered its revenue predictions for the third time this year to between $1.19bn and $1.21bn. Recently appointed CEO Rolla Huff opened up a can of management speak: “While we see this as an important first step in unlocking the underlying value that we believe is in our company, we are only eight weeks into the process of repositioning EarthLink for the future.” More cuts could be on the way, he added. Earthlink is suffering as its dial-up hold outs finally make the switch to broadband from other providers. Its belated high-speed strategy was to involve itself heavily with municipal Wi-Fi projects, but that has stalled because of privacy and network quality concerns over its flagship San Franci

By Dan Shauger The common concept of making power in the golf swing is of trying to keep the lower body from turning as the shoulders wind up the torso. This line of thinking uses the idea of unwinding the body to gain power as if the body were a big spring. Kind of like the unwinding rubber band that spins the propeller of a child's model plane.The body does not unwind like a spring, it uses its muscles to move its levers. To prove it to yourself grab your left hand with your right hand and twist your left arm as far (rotating it) without swinging it. Once you have twisted it as far as it will go, let go. It didn't spin back, did it?When we try to hold our lower body still we do not allow the levers of the lower body (the legs, feet and knees) to become properly positioned for the down swing. Nor have they been prepared for the upcoming event with the proper stretching of the muscles we need to reverse the motion. Many instructors teach the holding of the weight to the inside of the

♥ Join Green Thumb Sunday ♥ This is supposed to symbolize my back - not Mr Lifecruiser’s condition! *giggles* The past 2 weeks I’ve been really slacked, like a cat in bad weather, just wanted to stay inside and roll up somewhere cosy :-) I guess I’m not 20 any more (surprise! *giggles*) and the weather is tough this summer. We’ve had a pressuring weather, to put it mildly. First rain and windy and now it has been the pressure in the air as if it should come thunderstorms, butt it hasn’t. Yet. Any one having any idea of what the kind of tree/cactus this is and have any theory of why it’s slacked? It even looks like some kind of Loch Ness creature… It really shouldn’t be slacked, if you look at the other trees and bushes there, they look just fine. This photo is taken in Fuerteventura, Spain. It’s always a real pleasure to go abroad and see what kind of plants and trees (and animals!) you’ll find there that you

Dodgers fans wanting to boycott Barry Bonds' all-time home run record chase, will have to do so without all the fervor other stadiums have come to know during Bonds' last few scandalous seasons. Barry Bonds starts a road trip today as his San Francisco Giants travel to Dodger Stadium to take on their heated rivals from Los Angeles. Stoking the fire for this heated contest will be tortured superstar, Barry Bonds needing only 1 home run to tie Hank Aaron for the all-time record. However, stadium security will ensure that fans do not go overboard with their heckling and overall treatment of the Giants' slugger.The league might be distancing itself from Bonds, but officials are taking steps to reduce the negative environment if the 43 year-old slugger ties or breaks Aaron's record on the road. On the Giants' last trip, to Chicago and Milwaukee, league officials directed ballpark security to confiscate signs with references to steroid use or cheating. If Bonds breaks the record at Dodg

El concepto 'Slack Phone' representa lo último en móviles. Ni pantalla táctil ni teclas: en la carcasa lleva una parte giratoria con la que, al interactuar, puedes introducir mensajes o números de teléfono. Para confirmar, basta con pulsarlo con la palma de la mano.   Además traerá un juego que consite en desplazar una pelota por un laberinto al mover la rosca con la palma de la mano. Este móvil también incorpora un dock con un pequeño sistema de sonido HiFi para que puedas disfrutar de la música sin necesidad de usar cascos. Fuente: CellPhoneBeat 

I'm back after a week of slack. I won't do that again. I have a few minor stories to tell, so let's get at it.This is a beautiful P-51 Mustang. I took this in Winnipeg last week; I only had the chance to take 1 pic before a line guy ran up to me and told me that no picture taking was allowed on the ramp for privacy reasons. I boggled him by asking if I was allowed to take a pic of my own plane; after a lot of internal debate, he told me I was allowed to take a pic of my own plane as long as I had permission. From myself, I guess.A couple of weeks ago I got to sit in the back of one of our jets. I took a video of the landing. Turn the sound down, 'cause the audio is obnoxious. I mostly like the landing rollout - it seems like we are doing a thousand miles per hour on touchdown.Now last but definitely not least, I took this short video last weekend in Toronto. At the Pride 2007 parade, which is the second-largest gay pride celebration in the world. Lisa and I had never been

Colleges are revoking admissions for students who may have partied too much their senior year.Some high school seniors may have scoffed at warnings about partying instead of studying this spring. But nagging counselors and parents turn out to have been right: A senior-year slump can have painful repercussions.In June and July, elite universities in California and across the country increasingly are revoking admission offers to students whose grades originally were good enough to gain acceptance but whose final exams and transcripts took a dive into Ds or worse. It's a little-known practice, but it can dump as much as 2% of an incoming class.For example, UCLA has begun to send out letters informing some students that their "academic record no longer meets the standards for admission." So the coveted acceptances to the freshman class, celebrated just months ago, are withdrawn. Gone. Revoked. Frittered away. This from the Los Angeles Times.

Come on people! Well by people I might just mean Orlando Magic fans but anyways... Cut Billy Donovan some slack here folks. This man was torn between staying at the University of Florida or moving on to the NBA and becoming the Orlando Magic. He went back and forth reportedly every hour on which direction he should go. He called friends and family. He spent time alone in his church to see if he

Three girls are sitting on stools at a bar. The 3 of them are arguing on who is the slackest. The first one says: “My boyfriend can put his whole fist in my pussy!!!” The second one says: “Oh ya? Well my boyfriend can put his whole head in my pussy!” The two of them then look at the third one, waiting for her to reply. She then looks at them and says: “Oops! There goes the stool!!!”

Damien Cox wrote a piece in the Toronto Star yesterday about the Leafs' chances of making the postseason. At least at the end of his article he generally spoke the truth about the team's play: A team that is among the worst in the league defensively and can't win at home has some obvious, basic solutions at hand.Get the goals-against down. Find some fighting spirit at home. The trading deadline, after all, didn't decide anything. Not yet, anyway. (referring to Yanic Perrault)What had angered me was what he said earlier in his article about Andrew Raycroft: So there may well be three berths available and six teams in the fight.And the Leafs are right in the thick of it. Now, they won't be for much longer if their goaltending, specifically Andrew Raycroft, is going to go south.Poor Raycroft. Sure he struggles from time to time. But he sure as hell doesn't struggle as much as the rest of the team struggles to play sound defensive hockey. Ah yes, the achilles heel of the Leafs since
