hiking & hunting
2007-12-28 21:04:00
Have you been hunting, or hiking this winter yet? In all honesty, I have not. In fact, I have not been hiking for about two years; and I have never been hunting in my life.If I wanted to take up hunting, or start hiking again, I would first have to buy a pair of high quality boots. I came to know that metboots.com has a great online store which offers free shipping for on orders over $100. From what I have heard, their customer service is phenomenal.MetBoots.com offers Hiking Boots and Hunting boots from all the top names such as Danner, Rocky, and Wolverine. I am certain hiking boots of this quality will protect my feet against any kind of wilderness obstacles.supported and enhanced by linQueue.com Link Exchange Tools nonpaid.

Ribonuff, a steady reader of my posts, noticed that I have not blogged about Rachelle for a long time. How come, you may wonder.I have had a plan, and still have a plan - which, to my disappointment, has not yet fulfilled its purpose.There are multiple answers to why I stopped blogging about her. I must say that Rachelle is still on my mind. Very instensly, in fact. It is nothing to do with her. So much for now.When I wrote about my room mate, Ben, I tried to outline that he has been inclined to take a part in controlling other people's lives. According to my personal judgement, he strives to gain more control than other people do; more than many do, yet more than almost everybody else does. Sadly, I might add, he not always influences other people for their very best; but, rather for his own benefit.This is the way he works. I do not blame him for doing this, but obviously I do not like him do this with me. (Ben: Sorry if I'm all wrong here.)For instance, he has repeatedly claime...

protect your "i"

What are the chances that you know somebody who got an iPod or an iPhone this Christmas, or that you even got one yourself? I bet they?re overwhelmingly high.I remember I got an iPod-like mp3 player last Christmas. Unfortunately, I dropped in the fitness center. The dropping caused the player?s display to crack. ?If only?? I thought. If only I had protected it better.From what I have experienced, I highly recommend protecting these expensive i toys! Pdostore.com has the required gear to do this. For instance, have a look at their iphone accessories. Additionally, the store offers a lot of other gadgets that are very fairly priced.supported and enhanced by linQueue.com Link Exchange Tools nonpaid.

Why do We not have Unisex Bathbrooms?
2007-12-27 19:03:00
A game theoretic explanation of why there are no unisex bathrooms in Switzerland, and Europe in generalIn the two preceding posts I outlined why men's rooms are dirty, and why women stand in line in front of ladies' rooms. Imagine what unisex bathrooms would look like: Every visitor would have to wait in line in order to visit a dirty restroom. Unlike certain restrooms in Scandinavia, in Switzerland you only have either a dirty restroom, or you have to wait. This is the perfect explanation for why the majority of restrooms are gender-specific.What reasons are there to have unisex bathrooms? In Scandinavia, people argue it would be "unfair" if men had to wait for a shorter time simply because they are men. Social costs need to be evenly distributed between both genders, do they not?Let us examine this argument in more detail. When changing from separated bathrooms to unisex bathrooms, men are worse off in any case: The bathrooms will not be tidier while waiting time increases. Wome...

Why do Women Wait in Front of Ladies' Rooms?
2007-12-27 17:57:00
A game theoretic approach to the problem of why women need to wait in front of bathroom cabinsLadies ' rooms are allegedly cleaner than men's - this does not suprise us since we know about the dilemma relating the distance to the urinal. The ladies' dilemma takes place in front of the door. It's the ubiquitous line because the single cabins are occupied for an endless long time. Every lady is upset by this fact, but by the time it's her turn she gets no benefit from hurrying. This is why she takes her time.As a critical femal reader you are most certainly argueing there's a biological reason why they spend more time in a bathroom cabin. This is untrue. If women hurry they need in fact less time than men because of their minor flow rate (ask an urologist for more information).Therefore it is not biological. It is rather the high speed which is related to more effort - exactly as with men who would have to take an extra effort to check the floor before deciding what distance to t...

Why are Men's Rooms Always Dirty?
2007-12-27 17:02:00
A game theoretic approach to the problem of why men's bathrooms are always dirty Please leave the toilet as you would like to find it.(a groundkeeper's sign on a campground) Stand close, the man behind you may be barefoot.(graffiti on a men's room) Why are men's rooms always dirty? Could not we all simply stand closer in order to avoid the problem? Everybody would be better of this way. Correct - but...What is a single man's benefit of standing closer to the urinal? In the best case, his benefit is that the man behind him does not get wet feet (if only it was 'wet'). In the worst case, his 'benefit' is that he himself is standing in his forerunner's urin which he will not discover without close examination. This is especially upsetting if you have to stand in front of the urinal barefoot (as, for instance, in a swimming pool's restrooms).Regardless of whether the forerunner was standing too far from the urinal: You are always better off not standing close (a close examina...

Why do We Wear Suit and Tie?
2007-12-27 12:10:00
In the pool with a flannel suitDo you like to wear three piece, grey flannel suits and a tie? I do not. I even do not know anybody who claims to love to wear them. But I know many who wear them, and many who want others to wear them. But, why is this?Imagine the situation of a middle manager who is about to hire a new employee: He wants somebody who takes a lot of work from him and who does not cause a any trouble.A creative worker thinks for himself, critizies, has new ideas, tries many things and is inattentive to details because he needs his time for important issues, not the the red tape. He is every supervisor's of the middle management nightmare when he offends people, bothers them with new ideas, and loses one or the other form. This is why this kind of people hardly have a chance to be hired. A supervisor certainly prefers a harmless, uncreative worker.A harmless, uncreative worker is gray. You will recognize him by his gray suit, a gray shirt, and a time. Fortunately, thes...

Cher was on David Letterman last week and looked just great. Obviously she?d had another face lift that makes her appear more beautiful and fresh than ever.When discussing cosmetic surgery with my friends I always try to convince them that this will gain in importance in future years. Most probably, having cosmetic surgery will never be as usual and accepted as going to the hairdresser?s, but it will become more affordable.The latest trend in rejuvenating yourself is enhancing your genitals. Needless to say, a man?s dreams of enlarging his penis are not new.Women, on the other hand, become increasingly interested in labia reduction surgery and laser vaginal rejuvenation.
