Hurricane Irene Closes In on North Carolina Coast - WSJ.com

By VALERIE BAUERLEIN in Kill Devil Hills, N.C., MICHAEL HOWARD SAUL in New York and ARIAN CAMPO-FLORES in Miami

Hurricane Irene weakened slightly Friday morning to a Category 2 storm, but was expected to strengthen again later in the day as it barrels toward the Outer Banks of North Carolina and then on to New York and New England.

Irene is still expected to slam into the North Carolina coast Saturday—roughly somewhere between Morehead City and Cape Hatteras—as a major hurricane, which is a storm of Category 3 or more.

Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot - Slashdot

It was the summer of '97 and I was a college kid working part time as a programmer at an ad agency. I wrote a simple CMS: practically my first perl program (I was so happy to not have to write in anything Microsoft!). I got an old DEC Alpha Multia in exchange for some freelance Java work. I stuffed it under my desk at work and registered the domain name in October. Jeff "Hemos" Bates chipped in on the registration fee. Within months we were serving thousands of people per day on a system that looked remarkably similar to the Slashdot you see today. It was simple: I just was sharing stories that I stumbled on with a small group of friends.

Make This 1 Food Swap When Eating Out

’m in Vegas on business and there is “bad” food everywhere. Talk about Sin City—pizza, ice cream, burgers and HUGE portions have taken over this place.

But I’m not going to let a little travel get in the way of my flat belly goals (I’m really on a roll lately), so here’s what I’m doing to keep things healthy while on the road:

1. Go grocery shopping. Right off the plane I made a pit stop at an organic grocery store to load up on healthy foods for my hotel room.

Rancho Cucamonga Realtor

Yes, even though Rancho Cucamonga Realtor may seem like a strange name for a website, I chose this name for a reason.

You see, when a person is new in town or is just at home sitting at their computer there is a pretty good chance that this person will type in Rancho Cucamonga Realtor… or maybe Realtor Rancho Cucamonga in order to find an agent to help them with their real estate needs.

How to improve your relationships

I said, “I only have one demand if we are going to get married.”  Now, Shelly is not someone who does well with demands, so she responded with surprise: “Excuse me!” I said, “I promise I will never cheat on you, I will never do anything I know will hurt you, and I am willing to work on myself to fix anything that is a problem in our relationship, but if we are going to be together, as of this moment you have to give up the right to leave, your commitment has to be absolute.  If you are going to marry me I want your word that this is forever.

What Nothing Can Do For You (The Case for Dropping Everything) | Good Vibe Blog

How hard is doing nothing?

Harder than doing something, it turns out.

At least for me.

When coach Lisa Hayes prescribed three days of doing nothing other than just being with myself, I thought that wouldn’t be too far off from how I already did life.
