NASCAR Accidents
I wonder how many people watch Nascar just for the accidents?
A little research into the top searches for Nascar reveals a large majority of searches revolve around Nascar crashes.
Since the Michael McDowell accident during qualifying last week at Texas Motor Speedway the traffic to view the video has been enormous. And the film has been on every major network and cable news program available.
Since Nascar has standardized their cars on the COT (Car of Tomorrow) platform the accidents seem to be going down and certainly the safety has gone up. Nascar safety was already a big concern, but since the [...]

Liverpool Still in Hunt for Title as Beijing Falters
Liverpool FC Superleague Formula driver Adrian Valles has kept the Reds in the championship hunt after scoring the pole position for the final round of the championship in Jerez, Spain today. Valles and the Liverpool squad are 62 points behind championship leader Beijing Guoan but their driver Davide Rigon spun early in the qualifying session and will now start from the back row of the grid in tomorrow’s first race. To get the chance to taste championship glory, Liverpool must win both race
The Banana Diet
The Banana Diet November 22nd, 2008 The banana diet is 1 of the best and easiest ways to help boost your weight loss efforts. It appears there are many versions of this diet… and I also have a version of this diet. A lot of the other versions of this diet just seem plain silly and not very practical. Here’s an easy to use version that will give you slow, steady weight loss. This is not an extreme diet like you may think. You may think that the banana diet consists of eating just bananas all
Death by Atheism, Books, etc
As you may or may not know, I’m a great fan of reading crazy shit, which is why I love the internet so much. There are stories online that you’d never find in an actual newspaper because they are either A) likely false, or B) so blindingly stupid that only a mutant like me could work them into his day to day life. And those are the stories that I try to bring to you each and every day. If you’re all about the crazy and the dumb, World Net Daily is an invaluable resource. I suspect that the

Malaysia, stepping away from their rece

TS came home mid-day. He’s eaten precisely one slice of bread with slices of peeled cucumber this afternoon. So far so good. They left the shunt (?) in his hand in case he has to go back suddenly - quicker to get the IV up and running. The procedure is still scheduled for early on Monday morning. He’s taking antibiotics. Meanwhile I went to Naantali to collect in-laws who have been at the spa for a week. Oh it was a lovely drive (about 20km). I took the old route there and it was Christmas c
Porsche success in Classic Adelaide prologue
NEW South Wales wheat farmer Bill Pye marked his return to the Classic Adelaide tarmac rally by snatching fastest time in the Prologue staged in the Adelaide Hills. Pye, from Coonamble, punched his 1974 Porsche 911 RS up the 2.9 kilometre climb to the Eagle on the Hill in one minute 43.8 seconds, a mere 0.2 sec. ahead of 2007 rally winner Kevin Weeks, who drove a 1975 version of the same model Porsche. The Prologue results determine starting order for cars in the Late Classic, Classic and
Sam and Vince Are The Winners of Amazing Race Asia Season 3 (finale)
Okay, so I’m posting this two days late. I would’ve posted right after watching the episode last Thursday if Geoff and Tisha won but they didn’t and I was a bit sad about that so decided to go to bed earlier than usual. But I’ve overcome that and am actually proud of Team Philippines coming in second place. Though almost all teams hate them I have to say they had a good fight and they’ve used every single thing that can help them be on the final three. They are the only team that used the Yiel
The Italians I Know...Part One: The Philosopher
It was September 2007 and with Mrs.Behi we were in our nine-day drive through Italy. A few days remaining to finish, we had already been to Milan, Sirmione, Verona, Venice, Florence and Pizza. That nice September afternoon, after hovering around some beautiful hill towns in Tuscany we headed towards Rome, the final destination of the trip. I was driving this little hatchback Ford that seemed a bit odd in character since a week earlier when we got it from Milan airport but yet moved us around ni

James Grunwell took the chequered flag in the sprint race Malaysia’s The Pizza Company Team Qi-Meritus took a big step towards clinching the Formula V6 Asia driver’s and team crowns.

Kevin Chen was second 5.91
Freezing 6 Miles
I don’t know why I torture myself. It was so cold out this morning, but we still went out for a run. Since I can’t seem to get my mid-length tempo runs in during the dark and cold week… I’ve decided to try to run them on the weekends, the day before my long run. I think I’ll survive… I’ve got no choice! I lost my chap-stick on the run today… my absolutely favorite one by Burts Bees! Thank goodness I didn’t lose my car key, otherwise this would have been a 12 mile run! Tomorrow on tap… 8 mile
The Gaping Hole In Britain’s Rearguard
JF Uncut The first thing that struck me as I entered the reception area of Eurostar last Thursday was the sea of yellow coated and heavily armed police officers. They were everywhere – probably one hundred, if not more. Then as I slipped off my coat and jacket, placing them on the x-ray machine with all of my luggage, keys, mobile phone etc and walked through the “detection frame” realisation hit me- this was not my usual experience, because this was not my usual route. For more than fiv
Rain, Rain, You Can Stay
Image via Wikipedia Today was our first full day on Kaua'i. We awoke to the lush green view out our lanai and the ocean in the distance. We're spending our first two nights in Kapa'a until our we check into our condo in Princeville. Hubs kicked off the day with a run. I did not. I do not run unless being chased. Even then, I'd consider if I had on the right shoes. Afterward, he took Bug and Peanut over to Coconut MarketPlace for some ice cream. Not long after they returned, the rains started.
The Let Down
I saw it. Yep. I actually whispered to Lula, "I am going to the car." twenty minutes in. She made me stay. What happened? Where was the love story? Why were tons of easy details left out? Why the HELL did they go to the eco-farm and skip the scene with the blood typing? What happened to the Port Angeles dinner... the most pivotal point in the book? And don't even get me started on the meadow. When did 1,000s of prism-like diamonds become gold glitter? Why did people laugh out loud durin
Photostory Friday, Just Barely
I almost didn’t get to publish a post this windy evening. The power went off at about 8:30 this evening, along with our water. When I called Puget Sound Energy to record the outage, the recorded message let me know that power was off in scattered areas over a four-county area. It sounded serious to us, so after a brief time spent playing Pente by some and reading by lantern-light by others, we all decided to go to bed. Just as I was about to turn off the lantern, I noticed a glow from downst

Punks and Sleepers For those who follow my blog, precious few I would imagine, I’ve once again gone almost a month without posting. I’d like to tell you I’ve been on sabbatical, jet setting around the French Rivera with the beautiful people but alas, it is not so. Once again, my rudimentary technical ability or lack thereof coupled with my traitorous computer has left me high and dry. I had a couple of mediocre drafts that I considered submitting, that might fly in some rags dense audiences, b

Fluffy Pillow Where Art Thou?
"The truth about fluffy pillows and how to know if they're real." That was an entry in my mini marble notebook a few weeks back. Don't know for sure what I was going for, but, like my grandma once said to me about aging and memory loss: "At least, when you're getting older and more forgetful, you can be sure there's always a surprise around the corner or something 'new' to learn." Amen to that, sister. I used to get angry at my mother because she was the type to rip something perfectly good
