The Internet has had a profound effect on the service industry, but some service workers aren't hip to it yet. I went back to this restaurant a year after they served me a frozen pizza. I'd posted a negative review online about my experience, and the cook overheard me talking about it on this subsequent visit. He refused us service and 86'd us. I had a chat with him on my way out. I will not be returning to the Laughing Lizard in quaint, scenic Jemez Springs, New Mexico.

This is a peaceful video featuring an outlet of water coming from beneath the ground. There is no creek that is feeding it that I could find. It is just water coming out of an opening in the ground. It then proceeds over a clift and down into its own formed path that leads to what is known as Suck Creek.
The beauty of the water, the leaves, the green moss, and the sound of the flowing water provides for a peaceful, nerve calming effect. I hope that everyone will indulge themselves into the solace of my video I have made from Suck Creek Mountain within the beautiful Prentice Cooper State Forest.This is a peaceful video featuring an outlet of water coming from beneath the ground.... more

Yesterday I had found a dead deer in the Prentice Cooper State Forest and its carcass lying in water that flows into Suck Creek in Marion County just north of Chattanooga, Tennessee. I reported it to the State Forestry officials upon my finding it. No one from the Tennessee State Forestry Prentice Cooper Division called me back. So, I went prepared today to remove the deer from the water of the Prentice Cooper State Forest property. I discovered that this deer had been killed by poachers. The video shows that the area where the antlers were was cut out with precision. I, on the video, had said someone had removed its brain, but I was kind of upset and not thinking clearly. What I should have said was that someone had removed its antlers.
When I got home, I tried to contact the Prentice Cooper State Forest officials to tell them that I had removed the deer and they could come retrieve the carcass and dispose of it, however, I could not reach them. So, I called the Tennessee Environmental Assistance Center of the Tennessee Department of Conservation and spoke thoroughly about this matter describing it to him. He told me that based upon what I was telling him, poachers had killed this animal and cut off the antlers and bone out of the head with a saw. He was very concerned and said that I could rest assured that he was as concerned about this matter as I was and that he would follow through on this matter and have the carcass picked up. He also went on to say that this was a crime and that the officials of the Prentice Cooper State Forest should have immediately followed up on this from the initial report and that they would be hearing from his office. I admit I do not remove dogs or animals on a daily basis and this was kind of an emotional incident for me and at the same time it made me angry. I do not mind getting my hands dirty. I do not mind taking part in keeping our natural resources clean and well-kept. I am very much for the protection of our natural resources and am not afraid to say it or show it.
So, anyway. I hope that everyone will try to bare with me and understand that this was a threat to the health of others; it also is a federal offense to kill deer when out of season as it is against the law to kill other animals; it is also an outright shame and is disgusting to throw the carcass of a dead animal into the area of a State Forest or anywhere in the water that leads into our creeks and rivers. This is a felony. Should they ever catch someone committing or taking part in this activity there will be grave penalties. It is a highly punishable crime to kill wildlife when it is prohibited or no license or not in season.
I know that looking at it from the sick individuals point of view that did this, they did not have time to take it away, "man, just cut it off and lets go." Well, that view is WRONG! So suck it up if you want to argue about this. Because it is flat out WRONG! Take a stand for what you say you believe in.Yesterday I had found a dead deer in the Prentice Cooper State Forest and its carcass... more

If you've never won a race before, then you were obviously in the wrong shoes. The yellow trainer above is the Spira -- designed to recycle the energy despensed by the force of your feet when running.
Up to 96 percent of the downward energy from your foot hitting the floor is turned into propulsive energy, as the springs in the sole propel you forward faster than normal. This action also minimises strain on the feet and allows you to recover faster.
The Spira trainer/sneaker will cost you $129.95 (approx £80) at Hammacher Schlemmer website:
(www.hammacher.com/Product/11463?source=CJ&cm_mmc=CJ-_-300096-_-302390-_-Hammacher+Product+Catalog)
The brand also comes in hiking boots, slip-on shoes and sandals, all with spring technology.If you've never won a race before, then you were obviously in the wrong shoes.... more
