Why I’m Doing It: The Short Answer Many people ask me the following questions when they hear about my walk: Am I raising money for a cause? Am I trying to set a record? Am I running from the law? My answer: I’m just doing it for the hell of it. Or, more precisely, I’m doing it for its own sake, for the value inherent in the act itself.
Why I’m Doing It: The Long Answer From John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row: Once when Doc was at the University of Chicago he had love trouble and he had worked too hard. I’m not walking because of love trouble. A couple of years ago I started a walking group called Hey, I’m Walkin’ Here! There’s also no obstacle to stopping and exploring things when you’re walking. But perhaps the thing I find most important about walking is how connected it makes me feel to the space I’m passing through. I’m very drawn to the simplicity of this whole pursuit. So there you have it. And if that doesn’t do it for you, I stand to win a bet. Route and Timetable Lodging Shoes!

John Perry Barlow is one of those fascinating figures that American culture regularly produces to our great benefit and occasional consternation. Born in 1947 in Wyoming, he ran his family's cattle ranch for 17 years. Unique among Equality State ranchers, his words filled the ears of millions, because he wrote lyrics to the music of his childhood buddy, Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead. (Among his credits are "Estimated Prophet," "Hell in a Bucket," and "Throwing Stones. ") Barlow and Weir met in the early 1960s at a Colorado prep school for, as Dead biographer Dennis McNally gently described it, "boys with behavioral problems.
"... Bicycle South - Gear You Need - Rainwear. Beltrami - HOME PAGE. November 2007. Today was pretty cool. Actually, as it is quarter to 1 AM as I type this, I should say yesterday was pretty cool. I was somewhat concerned it wouldn't be cool, what with having to go in to the office on my day off to attend some bullshit curriculum meeting. The meeting was indeed bullshit, but the bullshittiness of it was slightly ameliorated by the fact that I ate a delicious roast pork sandwich before we got started. The garlic gave me a bit of a stomach ache, but I'm sure it bothered my colleagues even more, so it was worth it.
After the meeting, I jacked around my office a bit, had a long chat with my friend Brian, then hopped the train home to feed/water/walk Ellie. Opening for C! After their short set, and another 30 minutes or so of stage work (during which I flirted with a girl wearing a t-shirt that said "I'm a-Freud to fall in love," until her husband came back with their beers), C! Man, I really wish I had brought my camera. Let me be clear, this was a great show. You might find some fools at your doorstep | a free man. I was at the gym this morning. I’ve become slightly addicted to the gym - not in the knocking off convenience stores to pay my membership fees kind of addicted, more of a twice a week endorphin fueled buzz kind of addicted. Anyway, I was at the gym this morning and I noticed that they had installed a heavy bag since the last time I was there.
Intrigued, I asked the guys at the front how to use it. Yes, I know, you punch it. And to their credit, the young blokes resisted the urge to indulge in their generational predisposition to sarcasm. In fact, they took me over and walked me through a boxing inspired workout. I’ve got to tell you – it was awesome. After a half an hour or so, with wrists and shoulders throbbing, I made the decision to take up boxing as a hobby. Later at the gym whilst running on the treadmilly I watched a news (i.e. factually inspired entertainment television) report on the Sea Shepherd ship ‘Steve Irwin’ that had docked in Western Australia. .

By now you've undoubtedly heard that Daylight Saving Time (DST) has been extended in the US starting this year. DST will start on March 11, 2007, three weeks earlier than usual, and it will end on November 4, 2007, one week later than usual. So we get 4 extra weeks of DST. Since most of our PCs automatically update for DST based on rules that were established before this extension became law, there will be errors in time, calendar and scheduling unless you do some patching. There are 2 areas to be concerned with: Your Operating System and your Applications. Operating Systems If you are using Windows Vista, don't worry. Apple said Mac OS X Tiger, the most recent edition of the operating system, is fixed and has just released a fix for Mac OS X Panther. If you run Windows Server 2003, there are patches available.

Since my last post about the spice behind Spice (and other smoking mixtures such as Smoke, Serenity Now, K2, Sence, etc), it has been brought to my attention that some initial toxicology testing has been done on the synthetic cannabinoid JWH-018. Before we get down to the details however, here’s some pretty weird background information — the sponsor and provider of these studies wishes to remain anonymous! Unfortunately, this makes the whole thing a lot less credible, but since this is the only information we have right now, let’s hope someone else can verify these things at a later date.
So far, one professor (who also wishes to remain anonymous) thinks these are real, but as of yet, no one is willing to put their name down on any kind of formal statement. If you, or anyone you know, has the relevant expertise to look over these studies, please drop me a line! Feel free to invent your own conspiracy theories, but for now, let’s take a look at the data. Summary. The Lucifer Effect by Philip Zimbardo. Prepared by Philip Zimbardo and Cindy X. Wang Cialdini’s Principles of Social Influence aving begun to understand the impetus of social influence, we now move on to the better delineated principles of influence studied by social psychologist Robert Cialdini. Cialdini is a renowned social psychologist that has done extensive research on the domains in which social influence is most powerful.
Many of these may seem like obvious tactics that advertisers and influence agents will utilize to sway our opinion. We hope that by learning about these principles of persuasion, you will be better able to recognize the situations you are in that may lead to act against your will and then to have the tools to resist unwanted social influence.

"Why would anyone want to hear us do King Bee when they can hear Slim Harpo's version"-- Mick Jagger. " Like a lot of Americans of my generation, I discovered the blues via the Rolling Stones. My grandparents bought me the first Stones album for Christmas in 1964 (I was five), and the first song on side two was a note-for-note cover of Slim Harpo's I'm A King Bee. It quickly became my favorite song. I thought I was pretty cool with my high rolled collar, polka dot shirt (three buttons on the cuffs), corduroy pants and Beatle boots, walking around singing "I'm a king bee/buzzin' 'round your hive".
I had no idea what the song meant, but I loved the sound. Lamy 27 – a review of a little gem « lady dandelion. If I hadn’t had the the opportunity to try the Lamy 27 in real life I’d probably not realized the greatness of this non-blingy little pen. It is hard to capture its greatness in photos – this is a pen that must be seen and held. Click on photos to view them in a bigger size Designed in the beginning of the 50s with a classic – yet slightly futuristic – Bauhaus touch; classical streamlined shape, rounded peep holes for checking the ink level – making it look like a mini rocket – and a semi-hooded 14 k gold nib. The shape is a forebode of the space age – as many other things designed during the 1950s and 1960s. The rounded corners of the ink windows gives it a both playful and futuristic look. I really fancy the combination of playfulness and futuristic space age. Humour, futurism and classical elements combined.

Jim Mamoulides talks about collecting vintage fountain pens, and the various models and styles produced by manufacturers including Sheaffer, Parker, Montblanc, Waterman, and others over the years. Jim can be reached via his website, PenHero.com, which is a member of our Hall of Fame. When I got my first job out of college, I did what a lot of people do: I ran out and bought myself a Montblanc pen and fountain pen set.
I kept that pen for years, but in the mid-’90s, I lost the ballpoint at a business meeting. I gave it to somebody to use, and they didn’t give it back, which is the common way people lose pens. Waterman Safety Pen with gold filigree overlay c1920s I started calling around to pen stores, trying to find a replacement for it, and I got all these crazy stories about, nobody makes those anymore; you can’t find them; we don’t have them, so I looked on the Internet and I started to notice other pens that were available.

Parker Pen Company « Fountain Pen Restoration. Parker Holy Water Sprinkler I previously restored an aspergillum in my post of October 12, 2012, Fountain Pen Surprises. That pen was a no name, piston filler. This one is much more familiar, sitting on a Parker 65 body. If you recall, and aspergillums are holy water sprinklers, used by priests during Catholic and Anglican Masses. These pen versions were likely used visiting the sick in hospitals or homes, or away from the Church in other holy activities.
Parker marketed these also as gifts to be given by Parishioners to their Clergy, especially during the Christmas Holidays. The Parker VP (Very Personal), was introduced in 1962 and remained in production for a short time, until 1964. Here is a photo of the filler inserted back into the chalice unit.
