What Benefits Do You Receive From Being President - (USA)
So the election has come and gone and Obama is now the president elect. It leads me along a line of thought that I have two stepped through before and that is what sort of benefits do you get by being president. Before we go any farther, yes Shmata Queen that is a reference to two stepping, or don't you remember that night... ;) Hah, I am laughing. Richard Dawson is still dead. Anyhoo, here is a short list of things that I wonder about. Does the president carry a wallet? Does the president ca

In the Fatima Jinnah Park - (USA)
I went to the F-10 park Megazone last night for a bowling session with a colleague. It’s always good to have a little recreation when you’re stressed out and have things in your head which keep pinching you from time to time. It wasn’t the first time I was going there, so I had a wee bit of experience in rolling that heavy ball down the alley, and hence was confident that I would be able to get a few spares or, if I were lucky, full strike outs. Although there were quite a lot of cars in the p

Barack Obama Bowling Lane Goes Up for Auction - (USA)
Today, the owners of an Altoona, Pa., bowling alley put Lane 21, the lane used by Barack Obama during a visit March 29, up for auction on eBay. “My economic plan is better than my bowling,” Obama told fellow bowlers that Saturday evening at the Pleasant Valley Recreation Center. This statement came after Obama bowled a gutter ball that would make him one of the most infamous bowlers in recent political history. Obama spent two hours at the bowling center, talking with the public as part of

Introducing Greenbelt - (USA)
Quite a while back, I started the " Introducing Washington " feature to introduce Washington to you as I got to know it. The newest entry looks at Greenbelt, a quiet but notable suburb just outside the Beltway. America is littered with historical landmarks, but perhaps nowhere is so rich in history as the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. When it comes to the built environment, Washington has long been one of the proving grounds for planning. From the formation of the planning movement a

Where Are You Wearing? - (USA)
I never needed much of an excuse to travel. Most people, if they haven’t cut them out because they itch, consult the tag on their clothing for washing instructions. I consulted mine for a travel itinerary. My “Jingle These” Christmas boxers were made in Bangladesh. My all-American blue jeans were made in Cambodia. My flip-flops were made in China, and my favorite T-shirt was made in Honduras. Clothes being woven by hand in Bangladesh My goal was to go to these countries, track down the factor

Cricket for Americans! - (USA)
Big news! On Monday, England defeated Australia on the famous cricket pitch at Lord’s for the first time in 75 years! To put this in perspective, this may actually be bigger than the miraculous Red Sox World Series win in 2004, heralding an end to the 86-year Curse of the Bambino. Maybe. Anyway, England’s win put me in mind of doing a post on cricket, because it is so quintessentially British. I have actually seen professional cricket: This Memorial Day, whilst my American compatriots were e

Swordsmen in My Memory - (USA)
I am a certified movie addict and martial art was the blockbuster movie genre when I was young. Martial Law just been declared and I was only ten then. Golden Gate Theatre, just along Gen. Dunckel St. (now C. Liboro or was it Felix Y. Manalo Avenue?) , is only a stone throw away from my grandparents’ house. I cannot help but smile everytime I remember that when I was six, while I can go to movies alone, I cannot go to school unaccompanied. And that’s why, even years have passed,- for me, seei

WSOP - Gambling or Competition - (USA)
While channel surfing last night I came across the final table of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) and my wife quickly asked me to turn the channel. She did not want to watch people gamble. As I thought about it, I realized I don’t think of the WSOP as gambling, because it is different then a group of guys going to Vegas hoping to make some money. And yet, even though the players do have grueling hours, need concentration and some skill, I’m not going to call it a sport, either. But I’ll call

Compensable Fun - (USA)
There is an ongoing debate concerning the compensability of injuries that occur during company sponsored recreation. As Dr. Suess might say, "These things are fun and fun is good," except when your employer makes you do it. There is a fine line between employees participating because they want to, as opposed to feeling that they have to.Clark Kauffman has a nice summary of the compensability issues in the Des Moines Register. He sites the case of Robert Powell, an employee of the Cedar Rapids Ga

Taking it easy at Cowley. - (USA)
Monday 20th April. With Keith still feeling under the weather, we have been taking it easy whilst at Cowley. Keith has spent a lot of time sleeping and did not get up until lunchtime yesterday, but I have always thought that sleep is the best healer. Whilst he has been sleeping, I have been out and about chatting to other boaters. It was a pleasure to meet Duncan again on NB Zendu. The last time we met was when we had our other boat NB Misty Lady. He and his wife are still selling painted Can

Perhaps Better Suited For The Error And Space Museum - (USA)
Nifty punchline by Yeas & Nays to this item: Although Barack Obama gets credited for running a fairly impressive presidential campaign, he did make one serious misstep: Deciding to bowl in Pennsylvania. In March of this year, Obama did his best to hang with Pennsylvania’s regular folk by bowling at Pleasant Valley Recreation Center in Altoona, Pa. Footage from that event caused Obama endless grief, since the then-candidate had a hard time keeping the ball out of the gutters. The Center decid

My Secret Anxieties... Exposed! - (USA)
It probably has not gone unnoticed... my hesitation to actually confess to my new location? If you follow me on facebook , it is blatantly obvious (as many have pointed out). Why the secrecy? Fear. Wait... no, maybe Pride. Or maybe it's Feride ? Or maybe I'm just not entirely ready to admit my location to myself. I'm not really sure. -.-.-.-.-.-.- (So, without further ado, or maybe just a little bit more ado...) A long, long time ago , when I was 13, my parents de
