Sometimes you just really have to choose how you will end your race. Whatever race that is... will you choose to stroke hardest to the finish or will you glide? The choice for Michael Phelps was all but normal. He was a born champion since his first swimming lessons at 8 years of age. He knew that every stroke counted as his last. And during the Beijing Olympics, that last stroke dashed him ahead by .01 millions of a second before his closest rival.
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the ...
Countries are getting really creative these days! To address the rising costs of oil importation/dependence, the UK and probably most countries with a seafront are looking into exploring their seabeds for possible source of black gold!
Britain is to formally present its case to the UN in New York for extending its territorial rights around Ascension Island in the South Atlantic.
States have rights over their resources - including oil or gas reserves - up to 200 nautical miles from the shoreline.
But the UK wants to extend those rights around Ascension ...
What is your carbon footprint? Hmm... ok, let's start over... What is a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint is a "measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide".
Here's a nifty tool from ivillage.com, an online calculator to measure carbon footprints. I think this is just the right time, hoping it's not too late, to take a clear and determined look at how our lifestyles are affecting the environment. Isn't it just responsible to ...
She is Dara Grace Torres, an Olympic record holder winning 12 medals where 5 of which was won at the 2002 Sydney Olympiad alone. The only Olympic swimmer who represented her country (the USA) 5 times: 1984, 1988, 1992, 2000 & 2008. Oh yes, she is currently is 41.
She is just one of the many senior lady Olympians who are making great strides in the the 2008 Beijing games. Now who says age is a major factor in winning? I firmly believe that the will to win is the best motivation ...
There's no better team out there when your child's education is at stake. It can't be a solo act by the teachers and definitely it cannot be the parents job alone. We all need to remember that while the child lives most of the time at home, he's also most of the time in school.
It is good to establish a healthy parent-teacher relationship, as early as possible. Now fortunately, the relationship of teachers and parents are getting better. In some schools it is mandated for teachers to seek a conference with parents ...

This news is a little sad for me because I am a huge fan of the TV sitcom "The Office". I've been following this show for the past two years and have really admired all the characters. One of my personal favorites was Daryl, the Dunder Mifflin warehouseman whom Michael (the boss) always always try to "one-up", to no avail.
Daryl is played by actor Craig Robinson. He was recently arrested due to an alleged suspicion of possesing ecstasy and methamphetamine. Robinson's publicist declined to comment Friday. Robinson is scheduled to appear in ...

Before taking off to the grocery this week, read on. Most, if not all, grocery/shops put the cheaper options at the bottom of the shelf. The more expensive ones, or the ones where the most mark-up is, is at eye-level... within your quick notice and easy access. Manufacturers invest on these prime eye-level spots because they know a lot of people do not look down for a bargain. Notice that the big names have blocked in those prime spots the whole year thru.
The percentage difference may not be that noticable, but a 20 cents ...
I think one of the many things the world has to offer you is a money-back guarantee program that makes you a non-smoker with just one visit. Now I know you are thinking that a bullet is involved, so before you say "aha!" visit this page and find out.
A UK-based company is making this dare :
If you are ready to become a non-smoker easily, painlessly and forever, then welcome to MindSpa stop smoking clinics. You're in the right place.
It doesn't matter how many, or for how long, you have smoked, or ...
While we try our very best to stick to the budget rules we've set, there's ALWAYS that single thing that busts a small hole in our pockets. Soon enough, that small hole expands to a greater flush of the 'ole buckeroos down the drain.
I'll list down some of my personal budget busters as a self-excersise in identifying them. I hope these would also help you with yours. Identifying them is the first step to freedom folks! :) And a great way to make a list of what to avoid when you hit the malls or ...

Pack it well!
I’ve had my fair share of local and international travels. Everytime I “hit the road” I am always brought to “hit the wall” when the time comes to pack. I just couldn’t fit what I need to bring in a small suitcase. Really! My solution? Have the wife do the packing for me. I tell [...] Family Life
Avoiding Debt Triggers
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
Every mall will hand out “special deals” to hook [...]From the Editor
