...northern Polish towns I've visited—Maków Mazowiecki, Ostroleka, and Rózan—have pizza parlors, ice cream stores, and coffee shops, and most of the teenagers I've talked to are quite similar to their American counterparts. However, some things provide sharp reminders that this is a foreign country. The food isn't terribly strange—kebabs, hamburgers, and open-faced, toasted subs called zapiekanki are popular—but Chinese food is generally regarded with suspicion and distaste, and Mexican food is unheard of. In the U.S., passing...
...capture and storage for existing fossil fuel plants, plus a shift to electric cars. But Gore's message was subtly different this time. The man who has in the past called climate change a "moral and spiritual challenge" sounded more pragmatic notes. While sounding the alarm on melting Arctic ice and strange weather, Gore also emphasized the financial toll that high gasoline prices were taking on average Americans, and the security threat posed by our increased dependence on foreign...
...people died when an Avions de Transport regional plane, flown by American Eagle, crashed into a soybean field in Roselawn, Indiana. A design flaw made the French-Italian plane become violently uncontrollable in cold weather. Pilots and aeronautical engineers knew what the problem was: the de-icing boots on the ATR wings were not big enough. Those are the rubber sleeves on each wing that can be expanded to crack sheets of ice. But the FAA determined that lengthening the boot would cost too much money. It took three plane crashes, the third one scattering human remains and debris over...
...secret ingredient. I'm eating healthier without resorting to some extreme menu plan. And I've never really blown it - not even once - since I started my journal in June. Sure there are moments when I'd love to gobble down "11 chocolate chip cookies and a pint of ice cream for dessert," but I just can't bring myself to have to write that down after listing my healthy salad. Maybe it's a kind of self-brainwashing (salad = good), but it works. And I bet many of the diarists in the Kaiser Permanente study kept their mouths closed...
...British have a reputation for being colder than dead fish on ice. Perhaps that's why the News of the World video so enthralled the public, drawing 1.4 million views within a day of going online. But if Mosley is any indicator, British frigidity may give way to something much livelier in the bedroom. No one has exact numbers, but small-scale BDSM surveys estimate that 10-15% of the British population indulges in the behavior. And BDSM may actually be therapeutic. "We all have to manage certain kinds of feelings linked with aggression," says Susan Abse, a psychotherapist...
