While we’ve worked hard to create the basic information, you the reader will be essential in helping us add content where appropriate. So consider this a starting point… Introduction The R50 and R53 MINI coupes were watershed products that ushered in a new era of small, sporty premium cars. Beyond that, they also resurrected a brand and change perceptions of what a small car could do both on the track and in the market place. They also make great used buys. While it’s true the early MINIs had there fair share of issues, they are still very strong cars with little in the way of serious, budget busting potential problems (with one exception we’ll touch on later). That’s not to say that a potential MINI buyer shouldn’t be fully educated in the ins and outs of potential issues.
There’s one rule of thumb when it comes to buying a used R50 or R53 MINI: buy as new as your budget allows. 2001 / One, Cooper.

Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Andrew Ratelle. “I see man’s mind cannot be satisfied unless it be illumined by that truth beyond which there exists no other truth.”- Paradiso IV.124-126. Auguste Rodin’s famous sculpture, The Thinker, is probably the single most well-known depiction of the poet Dante.
Originally entitled The Poet itself, the statue has since become as much of an icon of the strength of the human intellect as the man who first inspired it. Crouched in life as in Rodin’s bronze over some of the greatest problems life has to offer, Dante remains one of history’s foremost thinkers, a visionary who places man at the center of his own epic journey between good and evil. Born in Florence to a noble family in 1265, Dante Alighieri was a man whose life was shaped by conflict.
A poetic journey through the flames of hell, purgatory, and heaven, the Divine Comedy takes place on a truly massive scale. Lessons in Manliness from Dante “Nobility, a mantle quick to shrink! If— "If—" is a poem by British Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling, written in 1895[citation needed] and first published in Rewards and Fairies, 1910. It is a tribute to Leander Starr Jameson,[1] and is written in the form of paternal advice to the poet's son.
As poetry, "If—" is a literary example of Victorian-era stoicism.[2] The well-known Indian historian and writer Khushwant Singh claims that Kipling's If is "the essence of the message of The Gita in English. "[3] Publication[edit] The initial publication of the poem "If—" was in the "Brother Square Toes" chapter of the book Rewards and Fairies (1910), a collection of Kipling's poetry and short-story fiction. Text[edit] Reception[edit] In India, a framed copy of the poem was affixed to the wall before the study desk in the cabins of the officer cadets at the National Defence Academy, at Pune.

Four months ago, Canadians emphatically renewed the ruling party's conservative mandate, handing Stephen Harper and the Tories the country's first majority government in over a decade. This victory was underscored by the humiliating decline of the Liberals — the country's "natural governing party" — who were displaced by a radical fringe party in their office of Official Opposition in the Canadian House of Commons. Adding insult to injury, the leader of the Liberals, former Harvard professor Michael Ignatieff, failed to win his own seat and was sent unceremoniously into political retirement. The May 2 triumph of the Conservative Party in Canada's federal election marks a dramatic climax to what has been an unlikely course of political events in a country whose very identity had been inextricably tied to its reputation for being a Liberal stronghold.
It is not only in this regard that Canada has become an island unto its own. Performance Policy Lessons Prospects. Auto Scout24 Used car & new car classifieds. Κ Α Κ Τ Ο Σ.

Barefoot running shoes have become all the rage as the advantages of barefoot running have become widely known, but what the heck is a barefoot running shoe?
While we might immediately think "barefoot" and "shoe" couldn't possibly coexist together, internet searches for this oxymoronic combination of words have taken off in the last year: What are these "barefoot running shoes" that everyone is searching for? Sifting through the search results I see a lot of Vibram related links, but also links to Huaraches and Nike Frees. I thought it would be interesting to see where all of these different shoes fall on a "barefoot running shoe" continuum. What continuum you ask?
Read on! Evaluating Barefoot Running Shoes There are a lot of ways to define, evaluate, and categorize "barefoot running shoes". Barefoot Running Shoes Ranking Critieria So, finding the best "barefoot running shoe" for any individual involves examining lots of criteria, but which criteria make them more or less barefoot?

The five switches of manliness are the power switches that are connected to our primal man and deeply ingrained and embedded in the male psyche. When they’re turned off, we feel restless, angry, and apathetic. When they’re turned on, we feel alive, invigorated, motivated to be our best, and just plain manly. The two principles behind these posts that must be adopted in order for the recommendations to be successfully integrated are: 1) the switches are simply either on or off, and 2) turning them on requires only small and simple changes in behavior. The biggest obstacle to flipping the switches will be pride–the belief that firing up our masculinity requires arduous, mystical, and/or perfectly “authentic” tasks.
When seeking to activate the deeply encoded parts of primitive masculinity, there is no better place to start than physicality. For modern man, these activities have been replaced with sitting. Made to Move 1. Run. The 5 Switches of Manliness: Challenge. This is the second post in our series on the five switches of manliness.
The five switches of manliness are the power switches that are connected to our primal man and deeply ingrained and embedded in the male psyche. When they’re turned off, we feel restless, angry, and apathetic. When they’re turned on, we feel alive, invigorated, motivated to be our best, and just plain manly. The two principles behind these posts that must be adopted in order for the recommendations to be successfully integrated are: 1) the switches are simply either on or off, and 2) turning them on requires only small and simple changes in behavior. In case you couldn’t tell from last week’s post on the Band of Brothers, I truly admire the men who fought in World War II.
I think a lot of guys in my generation are fascinated by the men who lived through not only World War II, but the Great Depression as well. And yet….when we read their stories our hearts ache and there is an undeniable sense of longing. Dr. Dr. The 5 Switches of Manliness: Provide. “A man should be a good provider.” We’ve all heard this phrase before; it remains common even in our modern society. When someone says that a man should be a good provider, what they invariably mean is that he should have a good job that earns a steady income, one which enables him to provide food, shelter, and the nice things in life to his family.
This definition of being a provider is well-ingrained in our society and in the male psyche. In fact, when men lose a job, and thus their identity as a provider, they tend to get very anxious and depressed. So earning a good income–is that what’s involved in this Switch of Manliness? In fact, bringing home the bacon has little to do with the true Provider Switch at all. Providing in Primitive Times In the Switches of Manliness series, we’ve been traveling back in time, way back in time, to uncover the original male drives that are still embedded in the modern man’s psyche. To which the Etymological Dictionary of the English Language adds: Dr. The 5 Switches of Manliness: Legacy. We started the last post in this series with a surprising fact–that only about 33% of our ancestors were male. We’ll begin this post the same way: When the Titanic sunk, the survival rate for the rich, first class men (34%), was lower than that for the poor, third-class women (46%).
Most people know that the Titanic had less lifeboats than were needed for the number of passengers, and that the richest passengers were given first dibs on those limited seats. And yet, the numbers tell an interesting tale. What happened? Many of the wealthy men decided to let the women, regardless of class, get on the lifeboats first, choosing instead to go down with the ship themselves. Women and children first. The Expendability of Men The answer goes back to what we discussed last time in the Switch of Challenge and can be traced to the biological differences between men and women. In World War I, there were 9.7 million, almost exclusively male, military deaths. The Chance for Immortality “What?”
