How to Avoid Getting Spammed
And no…I don’t mean the stuff that ends up in your (and my) inbox… Food prices are rising, and as a result, SPAM® sales are booming. Sales of Spam — that much maligned meat — are rising as consumers are turning more to lunch meats and other lower-cost foods to extend their already stretched food budgets. What was once cheeky, silly and the subject of a musical (as Monty Python mocked the meat in a can), is now back...
“Donate My Weight”
This is really quite neat. “Like millions of Americans, Ben Miller started dieting at the beginning of the New Year. “Over the years I went from 165 pounds in the Navy to my highest of 477 pounds,” says dieter Ben Miller. Ben’s goal -weight- is 230 pounds, but that’s not his only goal. For every pound he loses, he’s donating a pound of food to his local food bank. “I wasn’t willing...

He’s definitely looking trimmer and firmer, although there’s still some...

What’s the Walk Score for your Neighborhood?
This is kind of cool. Walk Score was developed as an online tool for finding neighborhoods with services within walking distance. Seems like gas prices go up another ten cents per gallon, every time I fill up my car. In my neck of the woods, it’s closing in on $4.00/gallon. At the current rate, I figure we’ll be there in less than 2 weeks. I don’t expect it will stop there, either. There’s a silver lining...
Exercises I Like: Seated Cable Row
I’m off to the gym in a few minutes for a chest/back workout…which reminded me of this vid that my bud Will just posted on the “Bodybuilding Revealed” forum on Seated Cable Rows. They’re one of my favorite back exercises. [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ykUDTcpuJE]
