I'm not sure that anyone presents food as beautifully as the Japanese, and now I'm starving.

Yes, it is an emotionally manipulative piece, but it's always uplifting to see a good news story for a change. It's almost as good as this one.

Great article with Jamie Lee Curtis about aging. I'm not 50 yet, but I hope that I will be looking at it the same way that she does!

Very impressive performance! This is actually one of the better cover versions I've heard of anything.
Blogthings - What Color Is Your Mind?
Your Mind is Blue |
 Of all the mind types, yours is the most mellow. You tend to be in a meditative state most of the time. You don't try to think away your troubles. Your thoughts are realistic, fresh, and honest. You truly see things as how they are. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about your friends, your surroundings, and your life. |
I'm not sure that "mellow" is the way to describe my mind these days. Sphere: Related Content

CTV.ca | Special needs kids may be forced into foster care
CTV.ca | Special needs kids may be forced into foster care: "Government infighting has families in a northern Manitoba community in anguish about how to best care for their children.
The Norway House Cree Nation has told the families of children with special needs that they may be forced to give up their children because the First Nation can no longer pay for their care, and federal and provincial governments can't agree on who should pay."
This is shameful...I thought that we'd had it bad when we were looking for care for my son.

A shining example of anti-vaccination idiocy
Think twice before you vaccinate your child : Winona Daily News
I'm not sure which is worse- the editorial, or the fact that an actual "newspaper" let them print it. Apparently journalistic standards aren't too high in Winona.

Why is it when South Africa had an aparthied system we all boycotted it, yet India has had one forever thats's apparently not worthy of a boycott
In this Horrible CNN article a man pushed a 6 year old girl onto burning embers for walking on a road that wasn't designated for Untouchables? If the girl was put into a fire because she was walking in a white's only road the political outcry would serve to cripple India's already hurting economy and we would force it to change.
