old news, but cool stuff. nike came out with some new shoes a couple months ago that were made out of factory scraps of old shoes. they are called "trash talk". steve nash partnered with them and wore the shoes at the end of last season (starting with the all-star game) and into the new season. they don't look too bad either. they're $100 bucks, but i still feel better about these shoes than i would the shoes that create the waste.

republican former secretary of state has announced that he is officially backing barack obama for the presidency. he has said that he believes in obama's ability to handle the current financial crisis and war. he also mentioned that he believe's mccain's character attack strategy against obama has gone too far. in summary, politics involve a certain level of going against each other, but mccain's attempts to creative a visible and damning link of obama to ayers, and the actions ayers took when obama was only 8 years old, go past the line of acceptable politicking.
this is a bit of an older article, but i was just reading that 8% of ALL asian men are related to genghis khan.
From the times.co.uk: "...a study in 2003 suggested that up to 16 million people worldwide — and 8 per cent of Asian men — were descended from Genghis Khan, and Professor Sykes decided to trawl through his database of approximately 25,000 male clients for a match.
The link is revealed by the Y chromosome, a packet of DNA that determines male sex, which is passed down from father to son. Men who share a Y chromosome are invariably descended from the same man at some point in the past, and the accumulation of mutations can be used to date the common ancestor. Women do not have a Y chromosome, so they cannot be tested in the same way, although millions are likely also to be descended from the warlord. "

Maytag Blue Cheese: an american cheese. classic and creamy blue cheese with soft veining (unlike cambazola, where the veins are so firm that they can actually stand up on their own. ew.). this cheese is easily found in most grocery stores in the fine cheese section (usually near the deli).
Drunken Goat: a spanish cheese. more of a firmer cheese than regular goat cheese (like a very smooth gouda), this has been soaked in red wine. when you bite in, the first taste that you get is a more solid goat cheese flavor that's tangy and sweet with a firm but silky smooth texture. the after taste is where you get a hit of wine. this cheese can be found in many grocery stores, but it has become more limited. your local cheese shop would probably have it.
Beemster: glory of the Dutch, this cheese has a creamy start and a firm bite. tastes like a cooler temperature cheese and is an amazing snacking cheese that i can eat all day long. the website can help you locate it. this one is slightly harder to find, but oh, so rewarding if you can locate it.
