I am finding myself back at square one. Not literally waaaaay back to the beginning but....umm..I didn’t weigh in on Friday for a reason. I spent all of last week nursing an injury that kept me from working out. I was pissy and whiny because I got slowed down by said injury and well, that lovely poundage dump that I made two weeks ago....yeah um...I ate it back in my friend’s birthday cake and
The summer skips rainy season apart from all-but-abortive attempts to saturate your laundry and kicks into the choking, steamy phase. You line up a few scraps of work with the various agencies like OCT, ETC, AIM and 7ACT to try and scrabble together a living wage. As ever it too much like grafting and not enough like gliding so when Nova offer you a full time contract on your doorstep, with your
Final catch-up bits from the excellent music weekend in Crewe. First, Square One on Mill Street where With Bob On Our Side (above) performed a host of perfect Bob Dylan tracks. Quite simply, superb musicians who have obviously played together for ages. There was a smile on their faces and that rubbed off on the crowd. I'd popped out with Mrs Crewe blog and the kids, starting off at the Imperial on
Square One enjoyed its fair share of great music on the opening day of the Crewe Live 08 festival. . Those hard-working Sgt Wolfbanger lads opened proceedings with an acoustic set that showcased their vocals (oh, and a mention for Dean their driver who also has fantastic vocals while he races about in his van). Later in the afternoon, typically as the sun dipped, we grabbed a few more photos with
I wonder if some of the current visitors to Crewe and Nantwich have explored many of the bars and restaurants around the area? Sure they have, for the odd coffee here and there! Still, over the last few weeks there have been some stonking names from recent musical history playing in and around Crewe. Take last Wednesday, when Square One (Crewe's coolest bar - discuss) saw former Inspiral Carpets l
We try to bring you some varied stuff on the blog, so here's another angle on the entertainment front. Square One (on Mill Street) has offered a chilled-out, city-style bar environment for over six years and has developed a reputation for cool music, comfortable surroundings and some quality beers and food. I've popped in a few times of late, chatting about the May music festival, having a spot of lunch with Mrs Crewe blog and catching up with footy friends. If you like a few different kinda sounds then this Saturday's Funk Agenda could be right up your street. It all kicks off from 9pm until the early hours, last entrance at 11.30pm. It's £4 on the door before 10.30pm and a fiver after that. There's Joel Olszewski with live percussion and sax, Niall Parry's soul and hip-hop, Alex Brown a
The makers of Square One Vodka at Singular Spirits asked themselves “why not create a luxury spirit that leaves a light footprint on the earth yet makes a big splash [so to speak] among cocktail cognoscenti.”
Not only is this the 1st eco-friendly new vodka, but this is also a company promoting a modern platform of [...]
The Square Diner at the corner of Leonard and Varick in Tribeca smells of strong coffee and a hot griddle full of pancakes. Housed in one of the last authentic rail cars, with a ceiling of handsome wood paneling and a row of wide sliding windows facing the street, the diner is the kind of place you trust for breakfast and where catsup is comfortably within reach.This morning, after I sat down in a booth in the Square Diner, I ordered the big breakfast to which many of us have grown accustomed - two eggs, bacon, toast, New York-style breakfast potatoes, and lots of coffee. The meal didn't disappoint, and while drinking the last cup of coffee I turned to look out the window to look at what was happening on the street.Across the street I could see a little sliver of a park with a handful of t

Bin Laden determined to strike in US.It took six years to say it out loud, the creation of a Department of Homeland Security, the death of thousands of US civilians in the 9/11 attacks, of thousands of US soldiers in Iraq, of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians who lost their country along with their dictator.The war on terror is a total failure : the US helped islamists draft millions of new sympathizers and thousands of new terrorists, and even provided them with a new real size training ground. Whether US troops leave Iraq or not, these apt pupils will put into practice their cultural learnings for make benefit glorious nation of Amerika as well as of all other nations.Furthermore, instead of fighting the right battle at the root of terror, the US have fueled anger, despair and unfairness, deliberately slaughtering what was left of the peace process in the Middle East and especially between Israel, Palestine and Lebanon.The man in charge proposes peace talks the way he has alwa

Square One Vodka is a “social and socially conscious” drink that is the world’s first 100% certified organic American rye Vodka.
Founded by Allison Evanow, Square One Vodka is consistently recognized across the world as a high quality vodka.
Their website states
Vodkas are prized for their purity, so the idea of an organic vodka was both viable and exciting…Thus Allison set out to create the greenest clear spirit yet. And she started at…square one, with the purest ingredients she could find: pristine spring water from the Teton mountains and organically certified North Dakota-grown rye. The ingredients are so pure that Square One obviates the need for multiple distillation, emerging through a single pass in the distiller with its unique flavor profile intact.
Additionally,the packaging and actual process of making the vodka are designed to minimize waste and maximize efficiency and quality.

Hezbollah and the rest of the opposition reverted to their old rhetoric: "we still have surprises up our sleeves; we will keep on increasing tension and creating new crisis, until you agree to our terms" A classic hostage situation.Hezbollah either failed or choose not to learn from the events of those two days, in which Lebanon almost slide into civil war. They choose to turn a blind eye and continue with their escalation, threatening civil disobedience, refusing to understand that if putting Beirut under siege and paralyzing the country did not work, then civil disobedience will surly fail!!!These tactics will not be successful; they will not accomplish any of the opposition's goals, unless their objectives consists of bankrupting the country and pushing what is left of Lebanon's youth to immigrate.If Hezbollah really wanted a solution then it should agree on the international tribunal and then it will be possible to engage in a constructive dialogue and reach sensible soluti
