I'm going to give this a shot and figured that keeping an accurate accounting should help out.Never tried this before. Dieted acoupleof years ago as I felt like total shit. I started at 225lbs. and got down to 183lbs byintermittentlystarving, and kinda/sorta trying for six months. I was done in and have put too much back on. I can't keep up with my present diet and excercise because I'm gaining...

I thought it has been long overdue to put this next installment of the Vegan Chronicles out. Having embraced Veganism for more than three months (almost four actually at this point), I have found it to be easy and an uplifting experience. From dramatic weight loss to heightened levels of energy, the positive effects of this cant be underestimated. The notion of the scrawny, malnourished,...

Bottle Bombs Link Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you'll never make it!!! If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds...

Actually, i received thirteen beers. Thanks Larry! Three were Summit "Dunkel Weizen" (Batch 9, Unchained Series), which i have tried today. A Dark Wheat Ale (and an accurate German translation as well). This particular brew holds true to the classic characteristics of a Dark Wheat...a somewhat complex flavor with a balancing low bitter quality. It also carries that fruity taste that is...

The following was my response:What do I see as my vision for the Rose Garden Caf in the future? Let me begin by stating what it is I see in the industry as a...

I often describe myself as a long haired, classical guitar playing, redneck from Texas. Here is a tribute to the redneck part: Preacher Stone - Old Fashioned Ass Whoopin' Sum... by Preacher_Stone

For good or ill, there is one book that has shaped my political thinking more than any other. Anarchy, State and Utopia by Robert Nozick It was published in 1974, and won the U.S. National Book Award in category Philosophy and Religion in 1975. It was about this time that I put aside my studies of mathematics and chemistry and spent the next two years taking every philosophy class...

And before going any further, here is that piece of legislation, one that unfortunately was not put on the table by President Obama. What is H.R. 676/Universal Health Care? H.R. 676, also...

Not that it matters, but for all its right-wing detractors who likely have no clue about what it offers or, IT'S ACTUAL NAME which is NOT "Obamacare," for those interested in knowing something about that which they oppose (don't ya' just hate those little f'n details?) ... it's ACTUAL NAME Is THE PATIENT PROTECTION AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT (PPACA). How many didn't know that? Raise your...

Just curious.

As a New Yorker and a 9/11 survivor, I will not deny that I find the security of New York City of theutmostimportance.
