Brilliant experience staying here, Mary was lovely and organised everything brilliantly. Lovely location and beautiful place. Would highly recommend.
JoshuaOctober 2015Mary was very welcoming and helpful. Place was clean and in a top spot! Thanks Mary
AlexMay 2015The listing description was quite accurate. It is tucked away in a quiet spot but just a short stroll to the cafe strip and then the beach. Mary states that parking (free) may be a little hard to find but we found a spot straight away. Mary was great from the outset and was very flexible with both check-in and checkout. We needed a very early check-in and we were accommodated. We spent very little time in the studio and didn't actually meet Mary and her discretion is appreciated. She did however make sure that we were informed by text. The studio is ideal for a couple and is very clean. The shower is great and the bed and pillows very comfortable. We noted that there are facilities for self-catering.
BrianApril 2016Lovely spot to stay! Nice and close to Coogee Beach.
MerelApril 2014The studio is beautiful, very bright, nicely decorated, just as in the pictures. it was also immaculate, I've never seen a cleaner airbnb or hotel room. The location is perfect, the studio is tucked in a quiet little street, but literally 2 minutes away from the nice restaurants of Coogee and the beach. Mary is very accommodating and easy to reach. thanks for the chocolates :) Overall a wonderful stay. The place to be in Coogee.
MaximilienOctober 2016Fantastic communication, Mary was very helpful as I booked it last minute & I received a response straight away. The place was clean, private and had everything I needed. Plus just a stroll to the beach. Thanks Mary :)
Natalie November 2014We had a great stay at Mary's Studio. It is a great little place right near the centre of Coogee. So close to all the shops, cafes and restaurants and yet tucked away from the main street in a quiet and peaceful location. The studio is spotlessly clean and is well represented by the photos and description that Mary gives. Mary is very professional about the way she manages her guests with good communication, accurate directions, respect for privacy and everything provided that you need for a comfortable stay. Thanks Mary - we will certainly be back. Paul & Karen
PaulMay 2015Great holiday place with just a short walk downhill to restaurants and beach. Thanks to Mary for organising a longer checkout time - much appreciated.

Dally was awesome. She provided us with suggestions and great conversation. Many times she reminded us that her home was our home while there and it felt that way. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable and for going above and beyond to help us with directions and ride to The train our last morning.
MarilynNovember 2014Sally's communication as to keys and access were clear and accurate for this fabulously located Coogee apartment. What a view from the balcony! As Sculpture by the Sea was on and we only had an afternoon to explore the event, Sally's local knowlegde about the cliff top walk was invaluable. Our activities in Sydney were such that we did not actually meet our host, so we had the apartment all to ourselves!
LizzNovember 2014Great location, beautiful views and ideal spot for a night or two.
RyanOctober 2015Great location, easy going host and comfortable room. I would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to drop your bags while you explore the beautiful Coggee beach and its surroundings. Awesome location and view!!!
AlanaFebruary 2015Sally went over and above what we could have expected as a host. She was warm, kind and welcoming and was always happy to offer advise and tips to help us get along in Sydney. The flat was in an amazing location- right on the beach and so close to all the bars and restaurants. The bed was also one of the comfiest I've slept in. Overal 10/10, couldn't find a single fault. Thanks Sally.
EllieNovember 2015The staying in sally's place was amazing. The transportation from / to city is good, walking distance 2-3 minutes to the bus stop. Sally is also friendly and helpful during our stay. The view from balcony is beautiful just like showing in this profile. If you are looking for quite and peace, this must be a great option. Not to worry about getting food, the place is surrounded by many store that open up to midnite. Thank you sally and chaser (her dog) for having us at your place.
PutriniJuly 2016The view!! Getting ready for work and watching the Wales breach was unbelievable. Sally was also very accommodating.
GlenAugust 2015Two of my friends and I stayed with Sally for one night, but I wish we could have stayed longer! Sally kindly took our reservation a couple of days out from our stay and was incredibly easy-going and accommodating through the entire process. The location is absolutely incredible, right on the beach and close to heaps of awesome restaurants and cafes. It's also really easy to get to by bus with a stop really close to the place. Sally was super hospitable and from the second I arrived I felt comfortable in her home. We had a really great chat with Sally and her friend in the evening after we'd returned from dinner and it felt like I was kicking back with old friends. We really enjoyed our stay, it made for a super relaxing, fun weekend.

Steve was a great host. Greeted us on arrival and was on hand if anything else was needed. The apartment was clean, tidy and in a fantastic location just opposite Coogee Beach. Excellent value.
TimOctober 2016Great location in Coogee, stones throw from the beach and the restaurants, bars etc. The apartment was clean and had all the essentials to accommodate our stay. Steve was in contact throughout to make sure everything was ok and if we need anything.
DanielJanuary 2017Great apartment in a great area. Steve was very helpful with communication about the accommodation Thank you.
JohnNovember 2016A fan would be useful
MelanieDecember 2016Good location, I booked for my family and they loved it.
SUZANNESeptember 2016Steve's flat in Coogee is bright and spacious. It has an excellent location, just across the street from the beach and close to loads of cafes, bars and restaurants. Perfect place for young couples or small groups of friends to enjoy Coogee. Communication with Steve was perfect; he accommodated to our early arrival and made some great local recommendations. Would definitely stay at this place again!
JoaquinNovember 2016Good central location in Coogee and close to bus stop for getting into the city. Clean and comfortable. A bit noisy at night due to proximity to Coogee Bay Hotel.
ChristinaJanuary 2017We stayed at Steve's place for a week and had a great time! The location is perfect for Coogee, close to the beach, restaurants, and bus stop!

Lauren's place was in a good location, clean, comfortable. The room itself is big, airy and bright. There's a big wardrobe with lots of storage space. The bed was comfortable with a good mattress and decent pillows. There's a decent size kitchen and a small lounge and bathroom. The unit doesn't have mod cons such as tv, however, I found it quite idyllic. I got provided with a towel and a few toiletries on arrival which was a nice touch. The wifi is strong. The location is great, close to bus stops and a 10 min walk to Coogee beach and 30 mins into the city by bus. The area is hilly so might not be ideal for people with mobility issues. Lauren was very accommodating with checking in and checking out and communicating with me. As a female solo traveler I felt very safe and comfortable in Lauren's home and would recommend.
ClareMarch 2017Great location.
GaryMarch 2017Had a comfortable time at Lauren's. Parking is not fun. But I expected that being coogee.
AdamFebruary 2017Lauren's place is in walking distance to the beach, and close to public transport. A good place to stay if you want a bit of privacy :)
SophieJanuary 2017Lauren was a great host. I enjoyed the time at her place and it felt like home. Her place is close to the beach, groceries, restaurants and public transportations. Lauren was uncomplicated, friendly and also helpful. The perfect stay

it is a wonderful journey,i strongly recommand this apartment to those who love sunshine and beach!you will be happy with it
嘉辉September 2016Second time staying here, again it was great. Rowena is very hospitable and the place is so convenient to everything:)
MellitaDecember 2016We arrived on the Sunday evening and it was very loud with everyone being kicked out of the pubs. This was soon discovered to be the norm for the 4 nights we were there. Room had everything we needed but the patio door didn't lock. It was jammed shut with a wooden pole. Balcony was over McDonalds so that's all you smelt! Probably wouldn't stay here again but the apartment had all amenities. Ideal place if you want to party.
KellyOctober 2016Rowena was a delight to meet and the unit was clean and tidy. Because the unit is on the main strip, directly opposite the bus stop and beach, it is very busy outside. We were out a lot so the location was perfect. Had we had a car, there was parking out back - again, great if you are planning day trips to other parts of the area. Very comfortable bed, great view, ample storage.
GailMay 2016Loved staying at this place. Rowena communicated well and re arranged her plans to come meet us earlier than the normal check in. The place is right by the beach, near all the good cafes and opposite a bus stop that takes you to the city. The appartment was also surprisingly spacious for 3 guys!! Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends
DanielDecember 2016The location was beyond belief! Right in the middle of Coogee Beach with a balcony looking out over the sand and surf, the apartment was spacious, well appointed and extremely comfortable. The only down side is that Friday and Saturday nights are quite noisy, however music did stop before midnight. Would definitely stay again.
TraceySeptember 2016View from balcony is indisputable. Rowena and Steve are very friendly and hospitable. Apartment is clean and neat. Just a perfect beach pad.
Nhan (Nelly)June 2016Great location, centrally located to all Coogee has to offer! Clean apartment and Rowena helped ensure our stay went smoothly. Thanks again for a great weekend :)

Ótimo apartamento de um casal bem educado e que nos deixou bastante a vontade, tudo limpo, novo e bem decorado. Boa localização, curta caminhada até a praia de Coogee onde encontram-se alguns restaurantes, não tem linha de trem ou metrô perto mas o tem um ponto de ônibus na frente.
Emília November 2016Amazing hosts, always felt welcome. Relaxed atmosphere, clean tidy and extremely welcoming. Would highly recommend staying here :)
kellyDecember 2016Amazing. Beautiful flat, great room and location - just minutes from the beach and the flat and room are light filled and airy. We had a great night with James and Emma and really couldn't recommend it highly enough. Which is all cliched I know but it was really freaking great.
JessicaSeptember 2016Perfect space, minutes walk to beach and the other direction minutes to Randwick bars and eateries
AndrewOctober 2016Emma and James were absolutely fantastic hosts who I couldn't recommend enough! They were extremely friendly and made us feel at home straight away. The apartment itself was great! Perfectly situated with public transport to the city just outside and the beach only a short walk away.
RyanMarch 2016Great Communication from the start ( even though I asked last minute ) thank you. Great location, very nice apartment - super new and very clean! James and Emma are a very cool and very easy to get along with couple. Very very friendly. Thanks very much for a very easy 3 night stay! Highly recommended
NickFebruary 2016Emma made us feel welcome and assisted with whatever we required. Highly recommend!
PeterNovember 2016Emma and James were terrific hosts! I wish we could have stayed longer. Emma was super welcoming to us, including our 6 year old daughter who ate all of Emma's watermelon.

SandraFebruary 2017Lizzie is an absolute sweetheart. Her checkin and checkout was super flexible allowing us plenty of time to do everything we needed in Coogee. The apartment is lovely, just as the pictures show, very clean and has everything you need in a fantastic location. Lizzie also generously left us some food stuffs which we really appreciated. We hope to visit again. Thanks so much Lizzie & Drew!
Kylie & DanNovember 2016The apartment is in a great location - just one block from Coogee beach. It was very quite in the night (some noise from the bus during the day, didn't bother us at all). The size was perfect for three of us, and has everything that we need - washer, dryer, dishwasher, and all those you can expect in a modern and well-kept home. Lizzie and her husband was super friendly. If there is such a thing, I'll vote them for "Host of Airbnb".
FrankAugust 2016Host was excellent. Great location. Great to have a car park in Coogee
DavidOctober 2016Lovely little ground-floor flat just a short walk from Coogee beach. Best in mild to warm weather, as there's no air conditioning, but there were plenty of fans. Everything was very well labelled, neat and accessible. Quiet neighbours and a handy parking space was made available to us. We would have loved the opportunity to spend a little more time, if our schedule and budget allowed.
SarahJanuary 2017Fantastic apartment, everything was perfect.

LachlanNovember 2016Aaron and Roberta are warm and welcoming hosts. They have a great attitude and I felt instantly at home. The house has a casual, comfy vibe and the location is excellent. It was an easy walk to the beach, great cafes and the uni of NSW. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this beautiful little pocket of Sydney. It was hospitality of Aaron and Roberta that really made a difference.

We have just enjoyed 4 nights at this wonderful little Coogee gem. From the onset Margaret's communication with us was prompt and informative. We found the description of the accommodation to be very precise and honest. The apartment was immaculate and the attention to detail demonstrated both Margaret and David's experience as travellers. Crisp sheets, fluffy towels and lovely breakfast starter pack for our first morning. We were looking for an affordable home away from home, close to the city for museum and gallery exploring and therefore within reach of good public transport. This wonderful accommodation did not disappoint and being able to park our car off the street was an absolute bonus! David met us on arrival and made some great local dining suggestions. Our only regret was that we had to leave...we wish we had been able to stay longer! We will definitely return to squeeze in the coastal walk we didn't have time for this visit. Thank you Margaret and David for sharing your little piece of Coogee with us, your kindness and welcoming natures made us feel right at home.
PetriceJuly 2016Margaret and Dave were fantastic hosts and very welcoming! Accommodation is nicely situated not directly on the beach but close enough to walk! Accommodation is nicely decorated and facilities adequate for cooking at home with a bbq, fridge, kettle, toaster and microwave. Thanks for having us x
JillApril 2016The apartment was lovely and well suited to our needs. Close enough to walk to the beach and shops in Coogee and the off street parking is a bonus in Sydney. Margaret was very helpful and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.
EvanMarch 2016Margaret was so helpful and generous. I was staying in Coogee for Christmas and Margaret left a beautiful plate of home made rum balls and chocolates. She accommodated my girls and I in a very family oriented way and made us feel welcomed, even offering an additional night for free so we could continue our Christmas celebrations. The unit was so comfortable and very well appointed, we loved coming back to it after our Christmas lunch at the Crowne Plaza. Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone, the best Christmas we have had in years.
LisaDecember 2015Great location, Margaret couldn't have done any more to make us feel welcome.thanks
ColinJanuary 2017Great welcome-- homemade jam! They even set up an extra desk for me as well. Comfy flat. Good for a couple. Bed is very good. Lots of closet space. Kitchen highly functional and compact. Safe gated carport for your rent a car, but small, compact car rather than SUV suggested. Had some lovely chats with hosts. Location is very close to beach, transit, and Coogee Bay Road-- great restaurants.

Staying at Brenda's apartment was perfect! So close to all the shops in Coogee, the beach, bus stops everything! The apartment was very clean and modern and furnished really nicely. I would absolutely recommend it for anyone.
SabinaOctober 2014Brenda was a very pleasant host, & allowed us entry to the apartment early in the morning which we appreciated after a very long journey. Apartment was small, and basic. Only 1 sofa so not so easy for 3 to relax & watch tv let alone 4. No wifi which is a must these days, although I'm told it was fitted after we left. I have to agree with comment re noise from traffic, it is constant, and the Windows do not shut it out. It's perfect for a few days with good location but not for any longer.
ElizabethJune 2016We had a great time in Sydney, and enjoyed our stay in Brenda's apartment very much. It is located close to the beach and close to lots of nice restaurants (we ate at Farinha one night - loved it!!) and coffee places. Coogee has a great relaxed coastal vibe to it. The bus stop that'll take you into town is really close too. Brenda's service was excellent - the shower broke and she got a plumber in to fix it straight away. Thanks!
AiméeDecember 2014Very clean apartment that was in a great location. The apartment was small but had everything we needed. Brenda was very helpful and answered all our questions and made sure that the apartment was set up for us three sisters having a weekend in Coogee. We also enjoyed using the board games while drinking champagne!
KerrieMay 2016Our family loved our stay at this apartment. It was so close to the beach, short walk to cafes, restaurants and a supermarket. The apartment had everything we needed and was comfortable and relaxing. We didn't venture any further!! Brenda was a generous host - we were able to check in early after an international flight which we really appreciated. Love to come back.
LisaJanuary 2017Thoughroughly enjoyed our stay here. Everything very accessible, transport, beach, places to eat etc.

Conveniently located, close to beaches (Coogee beach is. 10min walk and Maroubra a short drive), parks, shopping and easy parking on the street.

LanaJanuary 2017Lovely spot, only a 5 minute walk down to Coogee beach but the house is in a quiet cul de sac street up on the hill behind. My friend and I had a great stay here, each with our own room as Damien and Susan kindly put out the sofa bed in the second before for my friend. Great to have our own ensuite bathroom too. They were so helpful giving us tips about the neighbourhood and put out breakfast etc, a very kind couple. My only comment would be that there weren't fans or aircon in the bedrooms, so even though the house was nice and cool in very hot summer nights it could get difficult to sleep in the rooms! All in all however really good value for money and brilliant location. Thank you for a great stay :)

I didn't actually meet Maria & David but they responded quickly with any queries I had. The apartment was in a great location but I did find it a bit noisy at times with the apartments next door & being on a corner of a street.
Lorraine October 2016The apartment is in a good location, it is very central, close to the beach and transport. It has its own access so you don't need to go through the block. The towels and bed linen were lovely. I would recommend this apartment for couples because the sofa bed was not very comfortable.
CandiJanuary 2017A great place to stay in Sydney, easy walking distance to beach, restaurants and buses. Maria and David were very responsive and helpful hosts.
JohnFebruary 2017Maria and David were the perfect hosts. Their place is in a fabulous location right around the corner from Coogee beach.

Excellent week spent with both Raffaele and Astrid. Was made to feel welcome on my first week moving to Aussie! Thanks guys
TobiMarch 2016We have a lovely time staying with Raffaele and Astrid. Unfortunately our stay was quite brief and we had many things to get through so we did not get the opportunity to spend as much time getting to know them as we would have liked but regardless of this, we have nothing but nice things to say about our stay. The room was lovely and meticulously organised, the location and view is amazing and the apartment cozy and quaint. If you are traveling to Sydney, this I would definitely recommend this place as its only a short bus ride to the city.
EmmaJune 2016It is a wonderful stay , I enjoy every thing there, view is great,room is clean and tidy, you can just lied on bed to see the sea, the door and window sealed very well of a quiet sleep, the bus stop is on main road 2minutes away, a lot of bus to everywhere, however no noise at all to you as location is on top of slop facing quiet branch road,really quiet. the pizza in coogee pavillion is great. You can walk to Bondi beach allong the coast walk , also can walk another direction to maroubra beach to enjoy surfing there. The handsome boy and beautiful girl is aditional view , they are really helpful, however ,dont call them too early like me 8:30, Australian normal getup late.thanks again to Raffaele & Astrid, It is amazing to have a stay there.
taoSeptember 2015We loved everything about our stay with Raffaele & Astrid. The view from their apartment was fabulous - the photo does not do it justice. The location was perfect - close to the bus stop and steps from the famous Coogee- Bondi beach walk. I would highly recommend these hosts!
JillFebruary 2016Raffaele and Astrid were good host. Room has very nice view of the sea, really like the place. Very sunny and airy. Would love to visit again.
DipikaMarch 2016As my fist Airbnb experience, Raffaele and Astrid left me with an exceptional impression of this excellent way of finding places to stay in some of the coolest parts of the world's cities! I stayed with Raffaele and Astrid for two nights and they were extremely hospitable and it didn't at all feel like I was living in a strangers house with people I had just met! They very gladly accommodated me last minute and were very flexible about when I could check-in and check-out. So not only do you get an excellent location, you get excellent hosts too! These two genuinely love meeting new people and sharing their beautiful home with their guests. I can't pick anything to fault with these guys! Thanks Raf and Astrid for the wonderful stay at your place!
HaimishOctober 2016Very nice view facing Coogee beach, the room is clean and pleasant. Host is very friendly and helpful, there are parking lots just along the road but could be packed during weekends especially afternoon.
Joe SernApril 2016AMAZING location! I am so happy that I decided to stay with Raffaele & Astrid. I had a few great days in Coogee and the public transport is just around the corner, meaning you can make it anywhere easy around Sydney Their home is lovely and they are very welcoming & helpful! The room has such an unique view that I wish I could extend my stay longer! Thank you so much for the great stay, you are great hosts & I really hope that I see you guys again!

Daily, I am accosted by Trump's Troll Nation, who go from one meme and mantra to the other, depending on what the Kremlin orders for the day. These days? It's, "Donald Trump is YOUR president, too."
After seeing one too many cases get botched, either through clear prosecutorial misconduct or through substandard representation for the accused, I reached the conclusion that the death penalty, as it currently exists, is broken and probably won't ever be fixed
Gaylord Rockies could easily be conference home to organizations like The American Association of Dysfunctional Family Therapists, a well-heeled, well-dressed, albeit, well, annoying, group of conferencees that everybody is pretty happy to just leave to themselves behind closed doors somewhere
Republicans — who have for years lamented the fact that calling someone a "commie" fell from fashion — are OK with Trump's flagrantly treasonous Russian roulette game
No wonder some are calling Trump the Siberian Candidate, although a friend, given the Russian hacking, thinks Cyberian Candidate is more fitting. Here's how John McCain's former chief of staff, Mark Salter, put it: "Tillerson would sell out NATO for Sakhalin oil and his pal, Vlad. Should be a rough confirmation hearing, and a no vote on the Senate floor."
The latest blow up also raises anew questions about Trump's coziness with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, as well as the longstanding ties between Russia and Trump's pick for secretary of state, ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson.
I'm waiting for someone to start a pool on who the most dangerous cabinet-level pick will turn out to be. If I find one, I'm putting my money on Gen. Michael Flynn, the Strangelovian would-be National Security Adviser, whose son and chief of staff was just fired from the Trump transition team for retweeting fake news
Pay close attention, Colorado. It looks pretty certain that all health politics are about to become very local
As a practicing attorney, a Denver Public Defender Commissioner and a former president of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, I know that Aurora is regarded throughout the state and the country as being on the forefront of how municipalities provide representation to the criminally accused

Reviews forPork and Mushroom Breakfast Pizza
My Review
Average Rating
"Used vegetarian sausage and everyone liked it."
"My husband loves this recipe. I added scrambled eggs (not completely cooked as they'll cook more in the oven), onion and green pepper. I also used Jimmy Dean pork sausage instead of ground pork--doesn't need to be cooked. I substituted tube pizza dough and pre baked it for about 9 minutes. The nice thing about pizzas is you can use what you like or what you have on hand. Don't be afraid to experiment."
"My gang realy liked this, but I have to admit I added chopped green pepper, onions, to this. Love the idea of crescent rolls for the crust."
"Good but I would add next time in order to be a real breakfast pizza... keep the sausage and mushrooms and add cheese, and onions and peppers mixed in an egg mixtures like you would do an omelet. will try this soon and let you know how my additions try out."
"Good starter but this needs help. Onions, garlic, salt & pepper and red pepper flakes. I don't think I have ever followed a recipe exactly - I either don't have an ingredient and have to substitute or just want a different flavor. Some folks aren't as creative in the kitchen and truly benefit from what others add/delete/change in a recipe. I say "kudos" to those that experiment and let others know!"
"I really enjoy reading the different ideas people have. Sometimes, it is good to change it up because of allergies, or just to have something a little different so you don't get tired of a good thing! This sounds great as is, but the changes sound good too...especially bacon..yum."
"For those of you complaining about people giving ideas for additions, I personally am thrilled to see the suggestions as I am not a creative cook and need a recipe. I am sure I am not the only one like this. I have not yet tried this recipe but will and return to this site to give my thoughts about it. Have a good day."
"Why can't you make it as is? Don't rate unless you try it as written. Wite your own cook book....."
"Why can't people just make the recipe as written? Make THIS recipe as written the write a review. If you are going to make a ton of changes, then submit your own recipe! You are totally taking away from this persons great recipe! Take care and have a good day!"
"Why can't people just make the recipe as written? Make THIS recipe then write a review! If you want to make a ton of changes, submit your own recipe! You are totally taking away from this person and her great recipe!"

Hello, everyone. After a long hiatus, I am getting back into shooting. I was shooting a Baby Eagle full sized 9mm but it no longer feels good like it did a decade ago. (haha, nothing feels as good as it did a decade ago) I have a Beretta .380 I love but still want a 9mm to use. My husband is letting me use his Walther P-99 and I love it! So ergonomic and fits me just perfect. I've heard Walthers are cranky and unreliable but so far, it's worked flawlessly. Love it. Happy shooter again.
I'm finding that out. I am putting in plenty of range time and the Walther just keeps on doing its job. I almost feel sorry for the target, I always leave it with a huge hole in the center.
Walther has some very good and reliable guns, we had a P99 at the rental counter and that thing was rarely cleaned but ran great. The PPQ is still new but it has very rave reviews. The PPS in 9mm has been pretty reliable so far.

I've been half-following this story of Indian films being banned in Pakistan--which has led to incredibly snarky essays like this one but it seems the ban is lifted and (hopefully) people in Pakistan can enjoy Dhoom 3 with the rest of us!
Even Kashmir might get Dhoom 3!
Interview with Madhuri Dixit.
There was speculation that you didn't want to play an older woman or supporting cast.
One can't be snobbish but at this time when the industry is making such good films, one wants a role that will be etched out well. There were roles that I liked earlier, but at times the scripts were not good enough so I decided to wait till I got a good role. I had watched Ishqiya and loved how Vidya Balan's character is cunning and unapologetic about her sexuality. So when Abhishek Chaubey (director) offered me the role of Begum Para, I took it up knowing it would be equally quirky.
Almost 50% of Sonam Kapoor's tweets are related to promoting brands… hmm…
Even at 78, Garam Dharam still has that special charm…
"In my innocence, or may be it was immaturity, I believed that they would never grow old but would always remain young and famous. Today, I know better. I know that nothing lasts forever."
He returned to his childhood village to shoot for a Punajbi film!
Naseeruddin Shah on Oscar chasing:
"It's just a yearning for worldwide recognition and we feel that Oscars guarantees us that, so that's why there is this hankering for an Oscar. It's ridiculous. I think everybody should just keep making the kind of films they want to make," he added.
Nandita Das is working with Saroj Khan for a dance number for a Spanish Film with the vomity sounding title Traces of Sandalwood.
It's being reported that Tusshy is producing Ajay Devgn in the remake of Kanchana.
Dangerous games going on with laser to the stars Dipesh Mehta getting an extortion letter delivered to his office.
Grass is green; water is wet; the media cares more about entertainment than important issues.
It's the same here in America, too.
(And is it me or does the entire filmi media have some sort of weird masochist kink relating to Salman Khan? You know they totally get off on getting him to yell things at them.
Salman Khan, who was once dating Katrina, was asked by a TV journalist during the launch of Jai Ho trailer as to what Katrina would be to him if she is Kareena's sister-in-law. To this, Sallu bhai calmly remarked, "Agar woh Kareena ki sister-in-law hai toh meri bhi sister-in-law ho gayi yaar. (If she is Kareena's sister-in-law, she would be my sis-in-law as well.)"
Well, it seems like as soon as he said this, he lost his cool and said, "Aap wake hi journalist ho? I swear to God, abhi tak mujhe nahi laga, par ab mujhe wakei mein lag raha hai ki aap journalist ho. Maan, maryada, sanskriti aap mein phut phut ke bhari hui hai na? Yeh shayad aapke mata-pita ne sikhaya hoga (You are a true journalist. Values, respect, culture and dignity comes naturally to you. It seems like you got it from your parents)."
Related to the above, you've got the Hrithik-Sussanne separation sideshow.
While I do wonder what was the final straw for Sussanne, I don't wonder enough to actually read beyond any headlines. We know all these guys sleep around. We all know.
(Although, I did read this article about Hrithik "de-stressing" in Los Angeles with his bodybuilding trainer Kris Gethin. Let the fanfic write itself.)
Karan Johar took to twitter to confirm Hrithik and Bebo in Shuddi. I'm assuming there were rumors because of the SEPARATION DRAMZ and we all know the Kareena-Hrithik affair rumors from back in the day.
But linking the tweet because of the second response, which had me giggling in my koffee:
please make New Movie with shahrukh and Kajol
Shahrukh is doing a film with Maneesh Sharma (Band Bajaa Baarat) to be titled Fan.
I could be on board with this.
Your producer's son news: Girish is giving audiences more of the stuff they were so indifferent to in his debut with the remake of Arya.
And Adhyayan Suman's creepy-ass film Heartless, where he's playing his own real life dead brother, is having singer trouble.
For those who are unaware, Sonu and Sunidhi had earlier declined to sign their contracts which the singers claim deprives them of their rightful royalty. Since the music of the film cannot be released by T-Series without the signing of the contracts by the singers, the music label has requested director Shekhar Suman to consider getting the songs re-dubbed by other singers.
Meanwhile, Sonu took to twitter stating, "Hw convniently me and Sunidhi r singled out 4 not signing d illegal, humiliating contracts... (sic)".
Also, Sachin Tendulkar is launching the music but with Sonu and Sunidhi getting re-dubbed? In just like five days? Really?
What is going on here?! I think this needs more investigation.
Handful of tidbits from Aamir's appearance on Koffee with Karan. (Pssttt… DNA India, you need to spread this shit out! Bollywood Life would have gotten like 20 articles from this one.)
When Karan asked Aamir about why it took him so long to come on this couch, the Dhoom 3 actor's reply left him speechless for a few moments.
"I did not know you well two three years back and whatever little I knew about you, I did not like it."
Related: AAMIR KHAN! AAMIR, AAMIR, AAMIR! I LOVE YOU!
"Whenever sexual harassment or rape happens it is not women's fault. Those who have done it must feel guilty and not the victim. Society must change its views about women whenever such incidents happen and not blame or question women, like what she was wearing, or why the girl went to that place. Society must change its mindset," he said.
Shruti is back in for Gabbar?
Bollywood Hungama: where the headlines contradict the information in the story
Headline: Big B to work with Subhash Ghai
Article: Ghai says, "In our forthcoming film Sarabjit to be directed by Ishwar Singh and starring Sonakshi Sinha and Anurag Sinha, I need to clarify that Amitabh Bachchan is not in the film.
Highway: A romantic film about Stockholm Syndrome! (Kill me now because I kind of dig it.)
Dedh Ishqiya song promo.
Only Ali Zafar could make drinking Pepsi seem like a baller thing to do.

Tuesday Post: GUESS WHO IS BACK?!
1 comment:
- odadune said...
The only thing I will say about Hrithik/Sussanne is that I'm not necessarily convinced the separation is primarily about his love life (or hers). It's not like either of them were raised by straight edge monogamous types.
Highway: pretty sure this will be next year's Ranjhanaa-that movie that sets out to portray really messed up people without endorsing them but ends up being a favorite fantasy of enty of real life messed up people.
Shruti would probably be good in Gabbar, especially since the gave the character an actual dayjob. I'm visualizing something like her 7aum Arrivu character, only with random fantasy song picturizations. No less important: Akki's apparently going for long hair and a beard for Gabbar.
I'm told that Arya is a sufficiently bad movie to where it doesn't matter who stars in it. I have seen Arya 2 though, and that one calls out for Ranveer Singh in the lead. - December 17, 2013 at 9:29 AM

Ya'll know ya'll love it!
Mad thanks to Dana for putting me on blast (in a good way) on her site Dana*s Dirt. Ya'll check check out her blog...FAB!
And on to the gossip mill:
Now who told Christina this hairstlye was cute on her? She really is a cute girl but that hair aint fab at all.
Christina Milian at Thursday's Blender party
And girl tie ya left shoe before you bust ya ass on that red carpet like Paris Hilton. And we don't want that!
Awww...and look at Christina's on again/off again boyfriend Nick.
Nick Cannon at last night's 2nd Annual X-Games Afterparty
He's definitely a cutie in my book.
Here's some pics of the fabulous Halle Berry at a recent photo shoot:
Well damn Ms. Halle. Work it out then!
Speaking of the Hallez...details about her new purchase have been released. Her new $6 mil mansion has a two-bedroom guesthouse, a spa, two fire pits and a pool with a stone diving platform. Read Page Six for the story. (You may have to register for free)
Jay-Z has a new R&B diva on his arm...
Relax ya'll...it's just a business thang. Her name is Tearria and she's the new R&B diva on Roc-a-fella records. Jay-Z even looks scared to touch her cuz he think B gonna be in that azz if he gets to friendly.
Tearrai and Jigga on MTV's TRL yesterday
I don't know...she looks real unoriginal. Like Ashanti and Amerie had a baby or sumthin and the product was her.
Her new song is hot though.
Speaking of Jigga, it's been reported that he is about to buy a new Penthouse for $15 mil right next to his boo Beyonce' in the Time Warner Center in NY. Damn. Must be nice to have it like that! Read Page Six for the story.
And maybe this black dude from the INX rockstar reality show just don't know how outta place he looks.
Somebody needs to tap him on the shoulder and let him know. Quick. Movin on...
Puffy at his party last night in St. Tropez
P. Diddy threw a party last night at Club Papayago in St. Tropez-France. And even though Diddy was His Royal Flyness as usual, his momma wasn't. As usual. Check out Janice Combs in the middle of the pic:
Just a hot ass mess. And why does girlfriend Kim Porter (to the left of J-Combs) have a band-aid on her nose? More importantly, why would she go out in public lookin like that? Maybe she tried to tell her future mother-in-law about her unfabulousness and got decked in the nose. Good try Kim. Keep hope alive!
And finally....the Hip-Hop Billboard Awards were taped last night. And ya'll know that means the ghetto fabulousness was out and about.
Why does it look like Lil' Mo woke up and threw on the first thing she could find from 7 years ago? Tight satin shirts are SO unfab.
The awards show was also honoring Chaka Khan. Now I hate to talk mess about a music icon, but this look is real scary.
She even looks a lil confused about it herself.
Has Fatty Koo really blown up? Has anybody watched the show?? Yeah...didn't think so. Oh...and girl in the red jacket....you are NOT a superstar.
Here's Loon and Donnell Jones. Anybody else think Loon has been lookin sexy these days? And Donnell...where have you been? Come back!!
Somebody needs to pull George Clinton aside and whisper "You too old for this s*$% man."
Now the girl's sangin is on point, but Keyshia Cole's style is NOT.
All them damn tatoos are unnecessary. And that 5 tone hair is equally unecessary. She needs a new stylist before her career really pops off. Pronto!
Other news, sans pics:
- Eddie Murphy's wife of 12 years, Nicole, filed for divorce a couple days ago. Damn. And they were a black Hollywood couple I thought would last. And my hopes are dashed...again. Story
- Foxy Brown is facing misdemeanor charges of assault, attempted assault and harassment on some nail shop workers. I aint gonna lie...it is frustrating when people mess up ya nails. I wanna hit their asses too. Story
Style I'm lovin: Sandal style stilettos. Super sexy for summer and fall (if you live in the south like me). For women of color, metallic colors are best. Check out www.zappos.com. Crazy fabulous shoes!
Keep it crunk with the comments! I love to hear what ya'll have to say! Stay fab!

In the part of the story she is around 18 in her last year of highschool.
Wednesday is blonde at this time.
The girl with the short black hair is Celeste.
The two do look alike mainly the eyes and it is for a reason.
They do not look
any different really expect their body are a bit different.

Earlier we had reported that Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya got himself into trouble after an AAP member Preeti Sharma Menon accused him of using obscene language on social media against a woman journalist. Further, she complained against him after he abused her on the micro-blogging site. And now we hear that Abhijeet was arrested by Mumbai Police and was later bailed by his son.
In fact, Preeti Sharma confirmed the same in a series of tweets as it read, ". @mumbaipolice arrested @abhijeetsinger on my complaint on 26/07, released him on bail later. Serves him right @bainjal. @abhijeetsinger's phone confiscated, sent for forensics. Cops made Twitter order him to delete offensive tweets or shut handle @bainjal." She further also added, "I feel women shd register complaints against abuse in any form. @abhijeetsinger's arrest is a big step towards cleaning up SM." On the other hand, Abhijeet Bhattacharya continued his campaign against the AAP member on social media as he too posted a few tweets saying, "I'm a man,a son,a dad,a bro trolled n abused by lady presstitute & her Paki frnds abused my nation whom to contact ? Long ago but I never asked any support from any 1, paying a heavy price in B'wood 4 being a nationalist since years." Preeti also tweeted about Abhijeet's son bailing him out adding,s "Shame on a man whose son has to bail him out on a case of abusing women #AbuserAbhijeetArrested." She later thanked the police officials for their co-operation and investigation saying, "Thank you @CPMumbaiPolice, DCP Patil of Cyber Crime is an effective officer, quick action against SM abuse. @bainjal."
From what we hear, the said arrest was made after singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya was charged under sections 500 (punishment for defamation), 509 (intension to outrage the modesty of a woman) of IPC and 67 of the IT Act. Reportedly, according to DCP Sachin Patil (Cyber Department) the arrest was made on the basis of online abuse and he received bail since it was a bailable offence.

Will VoIP attacks result in more than just spam?
Today's enterprises are seeing VoIP installations of every scale. Mike Chapple explains why that means attacks with results far more serious than unwanted messages.
You mentioned spam as a potential result of a VoIP attack, but I believe that's the least of our concerns. Honestly,...

we're bombarded with spam every day -- by email, fax and telephone -- and already have effective means of ignoring it. On the other hand, there are a few significant risks that could result from a VoIP attack:
- Eavesdropping -- Once voice traffic is rerouted over an IP network, the risk of eavesdropping becomes much greater than it would be on a traditional copper network. Without using encryption, anyone with access to a local or remote network segment carrying your traffic may be able to intercept it.
- Denial-of-service risks -- It's much easier to carry out a denial-of-service attack on an IP network than on the commercial telephone network. If an attacker directs a botnet to flood your network with traffic, it could crash the data and voice networks at the same time.
- Call rerouting -- If an attacker manages to compromise your call manager (or perform a man-in-the-middle attack between your phone and the call manager), that person has the ability to reroute your calls. If the attacker uses this method judiciously (say, to reroute your pizza orders from Papa John's to Dominos), you might not even notice that it occurred. On a more serious note, this type of attack could be used in a selective manner to deliberately misdirect important calls. For example, if you have a fax machine connected to your VoIP system, an attacker could reroute outbound faxes to his own system and then forward the faxes to the intended recipient after storing a copy for himself. The intended recipient would still receive the fax, so you'd have no reason to believe anything was amiss.
Overall, the use of VoIP increases your risk profile. I suggest that you read my advice on combating enterprise VoIP risks before designing a deployment for your organization.

2016 My Year
What I learned (or realized again) and had a ball doing last year.
Who cares? That's fair. You may want to skip down to the summary below.
Each year at this time I go through a personal reflection of the past year. Writing it down is how I organize and refine my thoughts.
My partner SAM is the anchor and happiness of my life. We've been friends for over 40 years and partners for 10 years now. I'd like to re-up for another 10 if she'll agree. I know I can be a challenge at close range. Still, epilepsy we make a great travel team, more about this year visiting all the Scandinavia countries, Estonia and Russia.
My sons are always on my mind – that's part of being a dad. At this moment they are between level I and II (level I- taking care of yourself; II- taking care of another; III- taking care of a family; and IV- finally giving back to your community and being part of something larger) – they're about where I was at their age. I'm very proud of them both.
Teaching turns out to be a wonderful activity for me – a chance to perform, inform, and coach on topics I love and with participants that push me to always do better. SAM (a lifelong educator) gives me lots of pointers. I am fortunate to have two schools – UNCA/OLLI and AACC/PLP that support my efforts.
My "men's group" in Asheville – going on over 5 years – continues to inspire and gratify me in ways that are new and, at the same time, comfortable – practical wisdom and friendship. More about my group at http://groupsformen.blogspot.com/2015/05/esse-quam-videre-being-authentic.html. Old men have a lot to say but not many listen. My pal Nelson's poems offer much insight, more at https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Slivers-Poems-Nelson-Sartoris/dp/1535125888/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483467532&sr=8-1&
Drawing and reading are how I continue to learn (OK, a little YouTube when I'm lazy…) I'll spare you most of that, but I have become more interested in drawing familiar natural objects all around us: plants, critters, bugs, trees, etc. We'll see where that goes. Peter Loewer is an inspiration. JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy was enlightening and timely.
Crafts (used to be a negative word – associated with dreaded craft shows) have taken on a new pleasant ring for me thanks to the JC Campbell School that SAM and I have enjoyed now for four years. When I was a lad helping in my dad's woodworking shop the smell of sawdust made me feel good. I learned that wood as an artistic substrate has great character and can easily be shaped and illustrated. Fast-forward 65 years. Taking courses in carving and chiseling, veneer, and turning have made me feel that "sawdust smell" good again. By luck I had a chance this year to try "pyrography" the fancy word for woodburning, and, I'm enjoying that, including the odors (that draw SAM's attention.)
As a refugee from the world of all things tech I am amazed and amused by what is unfolding into the affordable. High quality graphic arts on tablets and powerful and relatively easy drawing and painting apps. Oh boy, oh boy…
Then there's the campaign and election – sick to my stomach. Two people I've met and respect: Scott Adams (Dilbert) and Allan Lichman (American University and CNN) predicted generally that Trump would win. I and most of the media and most of the pollsters missed that. I won't add to the tsunami of analysis and progressive teeth gnashing that has passed by my world window this year. Brexit was a warning that polls can be wrong. But it's clear now we are a very divided nation. I for one inhabit a bubble and therefore deserve part of the blame. There is a way forward, a healing if we all get outside our bubbles and begin to engage in civil conversation that has a lot of listening. And, communicating directly with our representatives as SAM does. Plenty of clown cartoons coming, but I won't be laughing.
2017: looking forward to new adventures, family visits, and quiet times.
Summary. A fulfilling year of travel, teaching, creative work and learning with SAM. Health is good (LDL cut in half with veggie diet.) Depressed about the coarse and devisive campaign/election and the probable direction of environmental, international, and social agenda of our new leadership. Sigh. Let's get out of our bubbles, listen more and have civil conversations. Getting older and wiser and still have some hair left.

Deplorable Clown
The presidential campaign was been a punch in the nose. Not much opportunity for clear thinking. Not much discussion of the issues.
For a long while, viagra its been a cartoonist's field day with clown Donald being a cornucopia of foolish statements and looks – many of us just shaking our heads in disbelief. All the talking head pundits have been analyzing how this all could happen and predicting that the clown would knock himself out.
Didn't happen.
Meanwhile Hillary's failed to excite (so far, diagnosis ) so we're left with the possibility of a dangerous clown actually winning.

Our Nordic Odyssey
I get it. Trip reports are of little interest. Travel is a large experience that is mostly internal and cumbersome to communicate. I find the process of review and reflection, sick of selection and summary adds personal value to my trips. For a short visual view/photos try this link. (YouTube Slideshow)
This was one of our longer trips. SAM had visited the Scandinavian countries, discount rx I had not. We were on a guided tour with 38 other seniors from Canada, Australia, and the USA. Our tour director was a knowledgeable and resourceful Brit with over 30-years experience. We traveled through six countries covering over 2500 miles on bus, train, plane, and boat with miles of walking, staring and laughter in between.
Time of year was late July through early August. This was fortunate – shirt sleeve with occasional sweaters and two times with hooded heavy weather gear (provided.) I had a chance to experience the region's long days and to see that at 2 AM it was just like early morning light outside . The hotels have very heavy window curtains. Back in the US, the Democratic national convention was a third-tier BBC story on the local TV. Everywhere people were laughing and shaking their heads about Trump.
Scandinavia is an easy and pleasant region to visit. In aggregate, the cities were very clean and friendly. English is widely spoken; good food, exciting landscapes with steep angles, vast forests, deep cold waters and plentiful wildlife.
We also visited Tallinn, Estonia – a day trip via a two hour ferry ride from Helsinki, Finland – a gem of a historic European city I'd never heard of in the Balkans.
The fiords of Norway are wide and the waters relatively calm. The surrounding mountains are steep and dark with frequent roaring white streams from melting snow above. Dramatic scenery.
Getting to North Cape, Norway (71°10′) the northernmost point in Europe was a long distance but well worth the views of the tundra. It was a unique opportunity to encounter Laplanders and their way of life above the Arctic Circle. The endless forests of pine and birch grow shorter and finally give way to moss-covered rock, scrub bushes and streams connecting icy lakes. Reindeer are plentiful and seem quite tame. The culture of the inhabitants in Lapland is nourished but being squeezed by development and technology. We visited sled-dog and reindeer farms and I had a taste of reindeer heart.
The Vikings. Alas Hagar, some of what I pictured and understood is myth. The time of the Vikings (roughly 800-1050 CE) was one of naval exploration and exploitation. Then they learned written language and joined the European populations. Gradually they evolved into a more peaceful and commercially successful society.
The cleanliness and social structure in modern Scandinavia was quite attractive. Today Scandinavians are both wealthy and heavily taxed. Taxes are used mostly to enrich the lives and futures of their citizens (education, health care and social services) and to maintain their infrastructure. For me, a compelling model. Lemmings were not seen, but I have dealt with them and the big myth elsewhere. Trolls were everywhere, but mostly as refrigerator magnets.
Russia (the parts that were shown to us) seems to me to be very concerned with, and proud of, their royalist czarist era. There are lots of rules and numbers. Uniforms were a bit overdone and entrepreneurial energies (hands out) were frequently seen. The old capital of St. Petersburg and home of Catherine the Great is bursting with palaces and cathedrals so lavishly rich and ornate they could have spurred a revolution.
On our two-hour canal boat tour around Saint Petersburg, a young man ran alongside our boat. At each crossing bridge he stopped above us waving with great enthusiasm. He never stopped. Gradually word spread and he attracted a following among our group in spite of the tour's distractions of a music show, food and vodka shots. At the end of our ride our runner collected quite a few tips as we disembarked. He turned out to be a 13-year-old boy. Wonderful spirit.
We met and enjoyed the company of folks from around the world. I especially enjoyed the humor of our Aussies. They tolerated my Crocodile Dundee knife jokes and taught me a few new words like "mozzies."
When one of them good-naturedly dubbed me a "cheeky bugger" my heart was glad.
"So it goes…" (K. Vonnegut)

Treasure Indeed
Since moving to Asheville 9 years ago, eczema UNCA OLLI has been a happy feature of my life. The best part is the folks I've met, case sharing their rich worlds of experience, knowledge and wisdom. If you are fortunate enough to be still healthy and mindful at my age you may be aware there is great treasure in the lives of some of our elders. OLLI offers a rich curriculum of courses, workshops and social events. High among them have been classes led by pal Tom Sanders.
Tom was honored today as one of Asheville's Living Treasures. From the press release… Thomas Sanders, 83, was born and raised in West Asheville. He taught religious studies at Brown University. Through Brown, an American studies group led him to South America. An expert on South America, he speaks Spanish (and multiple other languages, including Turkish). His religious studies background has taken him to many parts of the world including the Middle East. Thomas has always been active in civil rights and freedom of speech causes. After retiring from academia, he returned to Asheville and helped build the foundation for the College for Seniors program at UNCA – then called the North Carolina Center for Creative retirement, now Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. He loves teaching; as a volunteer at OLLI his classes span periods of history including the Scottish enlightenment, Fascism, Nazism, the French Revolution, U.S. colonial history and the Civil War.
Tom, as many of you know, is also a great hiker and has trekked the El Camino in Spain and the Mountains-to-Sea trail closer to home. Best of all he partners with fabulous friend Mary Lasher (featured here in this Journal.) On the occasion of his award, I was inspired to create a small illustration of Tom naked. That was fun.

Another Story
My stories are not deep (as you probably know, grip ) sort of like a handful of raw unsalted peanuts – a bit novel, cardiologist unsatisfying, and leaves you wanting less. But, I keep trying.
So here's a link to a very short (flash-size) story about lemmings.
But wait! After my story was presented in my flash fiction class and received some positive comments, I posted it here. Within 24 hours I was contacted by Netflix wanting to adapt it for a new Marvel series. They wanted to me to change the location to Hell's Kitchen and have Bjorn wear a mask, I'm thinking about it. Advice?
So, in the mean time, and in case Amazon is following this, here's a link to another true story about critters in my hood. Jeff Bezos has my number.

Send out the clowns
I took a wonderful course in "Clowning" a few years ago. Two things I remember: When you're in costume you are more comfortable saying outrageous things or being just plain silly, heart and that about one-in-seven people are actually terrified by clowns.
ALERT! Political views ahead. Author is a cynical progressive who sees greed and stupidity on all sides.
Since The Donald (T-Rump) joined the GOP Presidential race last June, I figured he'd just be an amusing side show and would quickly fade. I underestimated the raw anger levels among many citizens and the incredibly weak field of candidates that the fractured GOP would put forward after Romney. I've watched all of the debates and marveled at the lack of serious policy discussion and civil decorum. I've been fascinated (and now alarmed) by The Donald's apparent popularity. His statements and insults have been given wide free publicity by our media – heightening his credibility with the public. Bad journalism.
Drawing a caricature/cartoon of The Donald is so easy anyone can do it. In fact, any photo will do. I just leave a piece of blank paper (these days a blank canvas layer in my drawing program) and the next morning, there's The Donald, all drawn.
The pundits all swore he would fail. So far the only real endorsement I've seen, besides his own, has been from Sarah Palin. Hee hee. OMG, now come the first primaries…The Donald wins. Granted the rest of the GOP field is still large and fractured and financed.
I'm not a pundit or a pollster. Still, I don't see T-Rump attracting many Democrats or getting more than 1/3rd of GOP voters.
So for now, it's just a yucky circus.
Still with me? There's much more fun at The Trump Movie, just follow the link.

Before the Plow Comes
Washington, cheapest DC. We had a great blizzard for the last two days. Many Facebook posts of pictures of snowy backyards and decks and yummy casseroles and hot toddies. Nature has shown who's in charge. Easy to talk when you're retired and not part of the work-a-day world.
Thanks to all the drivers and emergency services that are helping folks. Boo on those 4WD SUV owners with something silly to prove (unless it's helping grandma with something important.)
It gives us all a priorities pause. Sorry about the timing. Life will go on, if we're lucky.

What do Socrates, shop Rosa Parks, Al Yankovic, Pamela Anderson and Wiley Miller Have in Common?
This is the time of year for making changes. Since we are what we eat (among other things) that seems like a good place to start. Influenced by the need to reduce arterial plaque, trim up physically, and two books: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Esselstyn) and The China Study (Campbell.) And, yet…
Who cares? Vegetarians can be so annoying. They can't stop talking about all the benefits of plant food and the evils of eating meat. When they visit, I always forget and feel like doo doo for not accommodating their simple regimen. Like converts to anything, ex-smokers, Prius owners, and Apple fan boys, vegetarians can be a pain in the ass. Wait, I'll love being that.
So here goes. I join the other 2/3rds of the world's population. Little lambs and cows can breathe easier.
I'll miss my olive oil and stinky cheese, but will they miss me? Nope.
Now, back to things that don't change like Planck's and Avogadro's constants and making some folks uncomfortable.
