Sudoku
Not too long ago the wife and kids took a little road trip. Upon their return they were jabbering about Sudoku. I inquired about this topic and was shown a little book, like a crossword puzzle book, of Sudoku puzzles. I glanced at it, and it appeared simple and probably useless.
Fast Foward a few days when I had some time on my hands with nothing much to do. I picked up the Sudoku book left on the table and that was all it took. And a new addiction was born.
I always hated crossword puzzles and could never understand how my [...]
'We consider ourselves heroes' - a Somali pirate speaks
Asad 'Booyah' Abdulahi, 42, describes himself as a pirate boss, capturing ships in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean. Here he tells his story. I am 42 years old and have nine children. I am a boss with boats operating in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. I finished high school and wanted to go to university but there was no money. So I became a fisherman in Eyl in Puntland like my father, even though I still dreamed of working for a company. That never happened as the Somali government
Alphabetizing the Product
I don't know what it is with these new alphabet Lindens, M and T. They deliberately slap people in the face as they move in by giving themselves one-letter names that bounce in the Linden-made inworld search. At least add a few letters, if you're going to be an alphabet Linden, like Zee. What we can see now from the alphabet marking is that these Lindens represent a new breed of commercial masters who see their job as flogging the platform to produce income for the company and to "grow it" "goi
Jobless Indians
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics released the latest unemployment numbers yesterday that put South Dakota died for last place with Wyoming at 3.3 percent. But Set Tupper’s Mitchell Daily Republic report (which I can’t find online) presents controversy over that number: Indian newspaper columnist Tim Giago, responding to a September BLS report, called the numbers "cooked". "The statistics compiled by the BLS are false and they are false by any honest accounting known to man," wrote Giag
ON THE
Most quarterly reports these days make for grim reading. Lots of stuff about declining stock values and looming job losses and other depressing matters that make it necessary to talk an occasional investor in off the ledge. Not so for the Penguins, though. The first quarter of their 2008-09 season has been, by almost any measure, an unabashed success. Remember, this is a team that suffered some high-profile personnel losses after last season, when Marian Hossa and Ryan Malone headlined the

Nike x Michael Lau - 1 World - Air “Crazy” Force 1
We first brought you details on the Nike x Michael Lau - 1 World - Air “Crazy” Force 1 a few days ago, but have more info as well as pictures to bring to you. These are the ninth pair of shoes out of the Nike 1Wolrd Air Force 1 collaboration project, therefore leaving nine more to go. They feature a white leather upper with a quilted cross stitched pattern across the shoe. His inspiration, as you can tell from the detailed pictures, was a psychiatric ward. Also, the lace locks on the left sho
Bank bailouts and inflation will save UAE property prices
If the UAE is the last real estate market in the world to enter a correction then is it too optimistic to hope that it might be the first to come out of a downturn? My argument is that the inflationary effects of the multi-trillion dollar bank bailouts are not to be underestimated, and a rapid return to higher oil prices would likely put the local property boom back on track. All the same it is quite obvious to any observer of the UAE property scene that this autumn has seen a boom turn to bu

Having No Inaccuracy Whatsoever By Jim Horne Saturday, Nov. 22, 2008, crossword by Frank Longo Across Lite, Solution The 11th century Aragonese castle in Otranto, Italy. (Chris Warde-Jones for The New York Times) We haven’t heard from Frank Longo at the Times in over three years, and I’m very pleased to see his name on a puzzle byline again. I noted yesterday that many of the lowest word-count puzzles are his. More interesting, his arrangement of black squares in the grid is often unusu

The Reese Rideout Controversy
J.C. Adams has taken the lead on the Reese Rideout controversy and if the comments section on his blog is any indication, there is no shortage of personal convictions. First a little background: Reese Rideout, if you don't know by now, is an extremely popular model on RandyBlue.com. He has worked with Messr. Blue for three years and in that time his popularity has only grown in stature. Each year, Men Magazine holds their annual "Man of The Year" contest and this year Reese won. He was compet
Youth Baseball Pitcher Tips For Coaches And Players
As our long winter begins up north, my coaching buddies and I where talking about youth baseball pitchers along with some tips we all have used in baseball. I hope you may find some help in the following article. Every kid wants to pitch in baseball it seems. Pitchers are learning how to throw pitches and are the center of the game. Young pitchers set the pace of the little league game. Young pitchers feel great when they strike out the No. 3 hitter in the lineup. They float to the dugout when

BWE OPEN THREAD: How Much Of A Sh*t Do You Give About Chinese Democracy?
Guns n’ Roses were my undisputed favorite band from the time I was in Fourth Grade until around Ninth Grade. I cheered when “November Rain” finally overtook “Thriller” on the MTV New Year’s Eve music video countdown. “Estranged” was my favorite song (well, maybe tied with “Mr. Jones”). And I knew every where every single F-word was on every album so I could properly fast-forward the tapes when I was in the car with my mom. And yet, when the announcement came that Chinese Democracy would finall
