Hulleye Comes By!

No… its not a swear word or a medical condition - though the latter could be debated …. Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send “updates” (or “tweets”) to the Twitter website.

The point of it? Please feel free to enlighten me…

guess who’s back? 

Portishead’s debut album, “Dummy,” sold 1.1 million copies and its second, “Portishead,” sold 635,000. Then, after touring and a live follow-up album, Portishead faded out.

Now Portishead has rematerialized, resuming a career that has always moved in slow motion. “It’s amazing how quickly 10 years can go,” said Adrian Utley, who plays guitars and keyboards, over coffee at an elegant Munich hotel the night before the band’s performance. “There was no sense that we would split up or we weren’t going to do anything again. We just didn’t want to for that time.”

In an effort to curtail healthcare spending, the Japanese government is requiring companies to cut the number of overweight workers (and their dependents!) by 25% as of 2015. Companies which fail to do so will have to pay into a fund for elderly care.

Reduced exercise, the adoption of western foods and an aging population have made Japanese men about 10 percent heavier than they were 30 years ago, ministry statistics show. Women are 6.4 percent fatter.

The ministry estimates that half of men over age 40 and 20 percent of women will be diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. For men, a key yardstick is whether they have a waistline wider than 85 centimeters (33.5 inches). Body mass, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and smoking will also be taken into account.

Meet Dave. He’s decided not to throw out any of his trash for a whole year. That includes junk mail. If he can help it, he will recycle the majority of it, through a recycling system he’s created on his own. They’re called worms.

What’s the deal?

Since the beginning of the year I have been keeping all of my garbage and recycling in my basement.

What do you do with everything?
Right now everything is going in the basement. Each day I tally up what waste I created for the day, what it was (to the best of my abilities anyway) and what is going to happen to it (garbage, recycling, etc.) and then it goes in the appropriate place downstairs.

Doesn’t it stink?
