If his bit of wall-running doesn't work out just right, he'll plummet straight down to his ... immediate salvation.

The concept of saving the words for the happy times is about making sure we aren't inadvertently pouring on negative attention when things aren't going well. When we lecture, yell or explain too much in the moment when things are bumpy, we inadvertently make it more likely that the problem behavior is going to increase over time.In the first three posts in this series, we discussed what can be don

From: How Epidemics Helped Shape the Modern Metropolis People of means were escaping to the country. The New York Evening Post reported, "The roads, in all directions, were lined with well-filled stage-coaches, livery coaches, private vehicles and equestrians, all panic-struck, fleeing the city, as we may suppose the inhabitants of Pompeii fled when the red lava showered down upon their houses."An assistant to the painter Asher B. Durand described the scene near the center of the outbreak. "There is no business doing here if I except that done by Cholera, Doctors, Undertakers, Coffinmakers, &c," he wrote. "Our bustling city now wears a most gloomy & desolate aspect -- one may take a walk up & down Broadway & scarce meet a soul."The epidemic left 3,515 dead

When conservatives advocate outlawing abortion many are reminded of the tragedy of shirt hanger abortions and the damage they caused to women. AP provides an example of a death in response to a law in Nicaragua which bans abortions. Keep in mind that some conservatives here advocate a ban which would not allow exceptions to save the life of the mother:
Two weeks after Olga Reyes danced at her wedding, her bloated and disfigured body was laid to rest in an open coffin — the victim, her husband and some experts say, of Nicaragua’s new no-exceptions ban on abortion.
Reyes, a 22-year-old law student, suffered an ectopic pregnancy. The fetus develops outside the uterus, cannot survive and causes bleeding that endangers the mother. But doctors seemed afraid to treat her because of the anti-abortion law, said husband Agustin Perez. By the time they took action, it was too late.
Nicaragua last year became one of 35 countries that ban all abortions, even to save the life of the mother, acco

Obesity does not result simply from over-eating and a lack of exercise, but is a consequence of modern life, a British government think-tank said on Wednesday.Weight gain does not result from people's actions -- such as over-indulgence or laziness -- alone, and is a far more passive phenomenon than is often assumed, according to Foresight.Sources:Yahoo News October 17, 2007

‘Feel this way’ is my favorite track off of Con’s album, “Don’t quit your day job” already in stores. Its a feel good joint, and its relevant, I’m sure plenty of y’all have been in the exact same situation that these brothas present in this track. Its also a shame the brotha didn’t get to drop this track as a single, it would of made for a solid one and would of a been a good look. ‘Feel this way’ would of gotten way more radio play more so over ‘Callin’ Me‘ thats for dam sure…

Only less than half of UPCAT (UP College Admission Test) passers showed up to enroll in the different UP units. In Los Banos and Mindanao, less than 17% of passers enrolled. In Diliman, the entire College of Social Work and Community Development has one freshman. In courses like BA Malikhaing Pagsulat, BA Araling Pilipino, and BA Filipino, none of the passers showed up to enroll.
These are the numbers presented by fellow blogger Bikoy in one of his entries - dismal enrollment figures that point to the disastrous consequences of the blatant commercialization of education.

There is record demand for medium truck tires and a corresponding shortage of supply. Besides the cyclical upturn in truck sales, the increased demand is also being fueled by the upcoming 2007 diesel emission standards. There is record demand for medium truck tires and a corresponding shortage of supply. Besides the cyclical upturn in truck sales, the increased demand is also being fueled by the upcoming 2007 diesel emission standards. Many fleets are pre-buying trucks ahead of the EPA deadline to avoid the all-new 2007 engines, which are anticipated to cost more, require more frequent oil drains, and have an unknown reliability history. The pre-buying spike is creating artificially high demand for new trucks, which is expected to drop dramatically once 2007 production commences. This cycle will probably repeat itself in 2010 when the next EPA diesel engine emission change is set to occur. This cyclicality has historical precedent based on the tire shortage that occurred in

Note to the reader: What follows is an irritatingly articulate and highly pretentious little earthworm's ultra-embellished account of a dull evening out. If any of it seems overdone or ill-conceived, forgive me, as it was written a few years back by a bored and listless, and rather juvenile-of-temperament, collegiate version of myself. I have not subsequently attempted to edit anything, as, I fear, I'd have to rewrite - or relegate to the dustbins - the whole bloody mess, if I try. If you actually like it, on the other hand, forgive me if I come across a little smugly. Either way, do leave me a comment, dammit.
