ULTRA LARGE LIGHTER-THAN-AIR CRAFT
2008-07-22 18:26:00 Could a Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) craft be built that, once launched, never needed to land? This question started as a "think big" exercise over a few beers with my brother and has continued into a dispute about construction difficulties, physics, material properties, i.e. Mylar, Tedlar PVF film

12 Stone Lighter!
2008-05-26 13:39:00 Here's some truely amazing feedback from Sally Martin - what a success story! Thanks Sally for sending this through and becoming an instant inspiration!... SALLY WRITES: In August 2002 I finally started to get to grips with my weight issue. I’d either been overweight, or perceived myself to be, for all of my life and at that point weighed almost 24 stone.My first step on the journey was to give up my major vice – chocolate. By having to think about what I wanted to snack on, as I couldn’t just grab for my automatic panecea to all ills. This meant I started to lose a little bit of weight and I joined a gym and started going 3 or 4 times a week.In April 2003 my job was made redundant and I knew I would have more time available for a while, until I found another job, so I started working out with a personal trainer to make sure I was working in a way that would help me achieve my goals. I also had time on my hands and found a book tha...

Ford to build smaller, lighter pickup off next F-Series platform
2008-05-12 22:24:00 Ford has been talking for months now about reducing the size and weight of its vehicles as one means to reducing fuel consumption. One of the keys to cranking up the average fuel economy of its fleet will obviously have to be the highest-volume vehicle they build, the F-Series pickup trucks. With the compact Ranger languishing without updates for what seems like decades, Ford has apparently decided to build a new, smaller pickup derived from the next generation of it's F-Series platform. Our buddy Mike Levine at PickupTrucks.com has been interrogating his sources and come up with what he believes are the plans for a new F-100 pickup. The new F-150 is debuting from Ford this year and the next iteration will arrive in 2012. The F-100 should actually predate that one by a year, arriving in 2011. The 2009 F-150 already makes extensive use high-strength steel and that is expected to expand dramatically, allowing the use of thinner-gauge steels without sacrificing structural integrity. T...
On A Lighter Note........
2008-05-09 01:02:00 So on a lighter note, I'm now done with my rant, I was busy today again. Yesterday evening, I was able to lunge the girls 15 minutes for Misty and not so long for Kola, she doesn't get it yet. Better than she was last year, but she slipped and then I was a bit worried about her torquing a leg, so this morning we hand walked 15 minutes each which went well. I'm exercising and building them up a little before I ride as they weren't worked all winter. Also Steve and I took the dogs down to the local conservancy for a nice walk in the woods. We came home to my tulips at the end of the driveway and a bunny hiding in the brush. The video is our Cardinal, who Stephen has named Mr.Special. He likes to sit on my truck and beat it up and sure enough he was there. Then we made ourselves the best dinner.........Lobster tail and jumbo shrimp with fresh sugar snap peas, roasted asparagus, new potatoes and fresh steamed spinach. We save Thursday night for special dinners. Please visit http://m...

Suri Cruise Gets Lighter Hair For The Summer Look
2008-05-04 19:29:00 Aww, Suri's winking at us. Here's the happy Cruise family in NYC and with that light-brown hair she's got going on, she looks like the only one in her family who's breaking the whole dark brown hair mold. Every little rebellion will count in that family. Run, Suri, run! During Tom's interview with Oprah, he told the talk show host that his biggest frustration with the media has been concerning talk about his young daughter, Suri. He said, "When someone compares your daughter to Rosemary's Baby," and continued by saying, "It's one thing to say things about me but when it's about my children or my family, that is off the charts." Interestingly enough, during the interview, Katie (or Kate, as Tom calls her) decided to head out of the house to give Oprah and Tom alone time. We need to get a hold of Katie to see if their stories match up. Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com More photos of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise in New York City are after the jump.
3G iPhone May be Smaller, Lighter Than Current Model
2008-04-29 23:09:00 The 3G iPhone is on the tip of everyone's brain until June, so speculation is to be expected. The Taiwan Economic News, citing sources close to the story in the supply chain, claims that the 3G iPhone will be lighter and more compact than the first generation model. While the current iPhone weighs 158 grams, the new model is expected to weigh only 110 to 120 grams with much of the weight reduction stemming from a material swap that will feature a magnesium casing as opposed to an aluminum one.
The Lighter Side of Publishing Erotica
2008-04-23 21:50:00 I would kick myself hundreds of times if I wasn't so sleep deprived, and had more energy. There actually is a lot of work behind the scenes, and the chances of me lounging around like a hedonist are as remote as gray men making contact with humans. Visitors to the magazine (right this moment) will be looking at a site with a directory. The reason for this is due to my current upload that is still current. The perfectionist in me desperately needs the preformed template that I've downloaded, and due to my hopeless attempt in backing up and shifting offline content to the live database (which made everything go haywire), I've reinstalled and fiddled around with files for two days, with less than four hours sleep. Today will make it day three - without sleep; the energy to masturbate has evaporated. Tonight (or this morning), I began and realized, much later, that the soccer began on SBS and this meant that it was after four in the morning. Ah, what the hell? I thought. May a...

Lighter Macaroni and Cheese
2008-04-10 00:37:00 Though it's definitely warming up, the weather's still a bit nippy in Boston (until tomorrow when it hits 68 degrees!). By the time I walk home from my local coffee shop in the evening, my light jacket isn't enough and I'm craving something to warm me up. One of my favorite comfort foods, macaroni and cheese, sounds good to me at any time, but it's always nice to find a recipe that's a bit lighter.Not only is Martha Stewart's Lighter Macaroni and Cheese somewhat better for you than the typical mac & cheese (1% milk, less cheese, less butter), but if you bake it in ramekins, it's perfectly portioned for you, which keeps you from going back for more...and more...and more. Here's what you need: First cut the tomatoes (6) into 24 slices. Sprinkle olive oil, thyme, and salt and pepper on them. I forgot to buy thyme so I just used parsley, which I always have in my fridge. If I were Martha (or my parents for that matter), I could just go out in the herb garden and get thyme, ...

2008-04-06 07:12:00 The past few days on this blog the material has been a little intense so it is time to lighten the mood a bit. The following poem is by Robert Service and has been one of my favorites for a long time and I hope you enjoy it as wellThe Cremation Of Sam McGeeThere are strange things done in the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold; The Arctic trails have their secret tales That would make your blood run cold; The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, But the queerest they ever did see Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge I cremated Sam McGeeNow Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows Why he left his home in the South to roam 'round the Pole, God only knows. He was always cold but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell; Though he'd often say in his homely way that he'd sooner live in Hell.On a Christmas Day we were mushing our way over the Dawson trail. Talk of your cold! through the parka's fold it stabbed like a driven nail. If our ...
