includes visual Illusions: Predictably / Irrational » Demonstrations
This is an interesting site. The illusions may be pretty standard,
but they are only a small part of what this gentleman does.
The site contains his personal musings about pain, irrationality,
and more.

If you like cats, you'll like that!
At the bottom of the page are links to the fellow who created the
feed, if you are so inclined to dig into those kinds of things &/or
wanted to do it yourself.

My favorite SpongeBob episode: Sleepy Time
Wonderful exploration of the dream state. And funny on top of that.
Music Is Elementary
This is a great place for simple but interesting musical instruments
and books.
Lots of percussion instruments, economically priced.

good article about back pain & dance at The Hip Circle
Great explanation of the pain I have experienced and exercises to
alleviate it.
Plus a good bibliography.
And an interesting gateway into the world of bellydance! Something I've
always appreciated.
alleviating or preventing The Side Stitch
Preventing a Side Stitch
To prevent a side stitch, take even, deep breaths while running. Shallow breathing tends to increase the risk of cramping because the diaphragm is always slightly raised and never lowers far enough to allow the ligaments to relax. When this happens the diaphragm becomes stressed and a spasm or "stitch" is more likely.Some other ways to alleviate the pain of a side stitch include:
- Time your eating. Having food in your stomach during a workout may increase cramping by creating more force on the ligaments (avoid eating one to two hours before a workout)
- Stretching may prevent or relieve a cramp. Raise your right arm straight up and lean toward the left. Hold for 30 seconds, release, then stretch the other side.
- Slow down your pace until pain lessens.
- Breathe deep to stretch the diaphragm.
- Drink before exercise; dehydration can increase muscle cramps.
- Massage or press on the area with pain. Bend forward to stretch the diaphragm and ease the pain.
- * If you continue to experience pain, see your doctor.

great concept... a communal "how to" video site. Based on the idea
that everyone knows something.
as they say on the site... grab your camera & make a contribution.
All videos less than five minutes.

Mailbox Crash
"They got him" said Randy the Policeman. It seems he left his
license plate at one of the many places where he ran down mailboxes
and street signs.
The actual culprit hasn't been found, but they know who he is. The
culprit's mom says "we need the tools out of the truck", but the
police have the truck locked up.
I guess it must have been fun, pushing over things, but I wonder
how bad the hangover will be, if there is one.
Neighbor & I propped our mailboxes up alongside garbage cans, tied
up with straps & in my case the magic fix-all of modern times the
bungee cord.

live.yahoo.com ... Four Days Old And Counting: The world is watching at Y! Live Blog
That's their blog entry that explains what it is and gives you links to
the "how-to" entries...
See it in action at http://live.yahoo.com
This even works on my old old iBook! (Ok, it hiccups frequently, but
it doesn't freeze the computer)
So for the people at Whole Wheat Radio... you could put some of your
shows LIVE on the internet, or so the theory goes. Or you can take your
live internet somewhere and stream live from the audience. Might be
able to do it from the right cell phone.
Lots of potential.
And it just went public on Feb 06, 2008.
Welcome to the future.

& p.s. ... looks like Yahoo is going to fight the MS takeover tooth &
nail per the WSJ.

Been trying to track this down: Japan GT Girls (Race Queens)
The GT Girls or Race Queens attracted just as many spectators as the cars at the recent Japan GT Championship. Dua Sen brings you a ring-side view of the babes, cars and drivers. Enjoy!
Ok... so I imagine I will burn in Sexist Political Correctness Hell for linking to this.
BUT... it's just fabulous to see all the interesting Japanese fashions. Kids having fun.
Think of it as "Hello Kitty" with real people!

If you love cats find this video... The Cat Returns
Judy & I watched this last night (rented from http://www.netflix.com).
It is a charming animated movie about cats and cat magic.
Read the review ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_Returns ), then
find the DVD; I think that reading the review will enrich the viewing.

apparently, I'm the ONE subscriber to Whole Wheat Radio RSS
I tried WWR1 to see if there was another feed & it gives an error.
I actually find the feed more interesting than the radio station
itself... quite a variety of people. I believe the feed is the latest
postings from the blogs of various WWR members.
An interesting fact: almost every person/organization has an RSS feed
but most of them don't seem to know it's even there!

fyi... Etsy :: Your place to buy and sell all things handmade
Found this indirectly through http://www.wholewheatradio.org !
It would be interesting to see what kind of sales people get;
perhaps in the future when my digging takes me that direction.

a love song, for example: A Million times by Lapotu | iCompositions - Music
http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=82291
A Million timesby Lapotu and jalanixI'm not really in to love song songs. But at a moment i realized that in everything i do, in who i am, there is only one person who made that happen, my wife. She is there to back me up, understands me, loves me for who i am. So i though lets try to make a real love song for her.
