Many people react strongly to a pet in clothes. “Demeaning, stupid, absurd, ridiculous…”
The basis for this reaction is primarily the notion that the animal is embarrassed by wearing the clothes, and the owner who put the clothes on is irrationally anthropomorphizing an animal into a child or a Barbie doll.
Let me suggest an [...]
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram made note in this morning’s editions about a line of products Capitol Annex created to commemorate the spirit of the “Geren Revolution,” in which State Rep. Charlie Geren (R-Fort Worth) helped lead the insurgency that dethroned House Speaker Tom Craddick (R-Midland). [See Capitol Annex's online store for even more politically inspired merchandise.
The AR movement started out with some excellent welfare/protection ideals: people saw that research animals were being treated horribly and resolved to change the world so that people would not abuse animals. From that excellent beginning was born one of the most divisive and negative movements in the history of mankind, and interestingly that transformation [...]

3500 Calories To Lose A Pound - Is This Formula All Wrong?
By Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS

Most fitness conscious people have heard that there are 3,500 calories in a pound of fat, so if you create a deficit of 3500 calories in a week, you lose a pound of weight. If you create a deficit of [...]
It’s hard for some people to accept that we live in a limited world. Likewise, despite there being widespread evidence, it’s difficult for some people to accept that anthropogenic activities impact the Earth’s ecosystems and natural cycles.

Recently, I saw a picture of Russell Crowe knitting, which of course totally amazed me. And after doing a little more searching, I found out that it was an urban legend.So that got we wondering about other urban legends in the fiber community.

Mindboggling!!! Couple of weeks ago, I meet an old friend for lunch. He looks like he's doing great. He drove up in his new $120K Benz, all sharp dressed, but than again, he's been making $150K+ for several years now and it shows. We ate some healthy food and chatted a bit about the Wall Street, economy and old friends - all in all it was a good lunch, nonetheless, it left me in dismayRead More...

This morning I lay awake in bed, my mind reeling with everything that's been going on in the past month and most recently my husbands car blowing up last night and how much it's going to cost to have it towed to the mechanics and how much it will cost to fix and whether we can actually afford to buy a new (crucially needed) vehicle... we can't. And I hear crunching outside the window.I swear it so

At today’s CML Conference Vince Cable said: "The industry should now be exploring new products to restore faith in mortgage lending."

The products are a secondary consideration when there is inadequate fund

George Osborne was wrong today to criticise Northern Rock for increasing their fixed rates by 0.2 – 0.3%. For such criticism to be fair it is necessary to take account of how competitive their previous deals were and likewise how good the new deals are. Northern Rock’s previous best deals were 3.99% fixed for 1 year and 4.89% fixed for 5 years and both these rates were the absolute best deals

Why did McCain lose? I suppose I have an answer or two:
While he is certainly a very decent, honorable man, much more so than Ariel Sharon, who ended his career in disaster by resorting to de-facto sadism and corruption, the problem is that, McCain was still too old, not unlike Bob Dole, who was around 70 when he ran for president in 1996.
Another is that his positions were too liberal and may
