Life isn't the sweetest candy. Sometimes, when I feel like the world is just too heavy, I look around and find people who continued to live fascinating and wonderful lives. And then thoughts come popping into my mind like bubbles from nowhere - "How did their life become so adorably sweet? How come they still can manage to laugh and play around despite a busy stressful life?" Then I pause and observed for awhile… I figured out that maybe, they start to work on a place called 'self'. So, how does one become genuinely happy? Step 1 is to love yourself. My theology professor once said that "loving means accepting." To love oneself means to accept that you are not a perfect being, but behind the...

Before 1954, running a sub four-minute mile was considered to be impossible according to physiologists at that time. It was thought that a four-minute mile was the physical limit of the human body.When Englands' Roger Bannister ran a 3:59.4 to break the world record, he not only broke a physical barrier but he also broke a psychological barrier as well.Australian John Landy, who was considered to be the premier miler of that era, was at a restaurant in Helsinki when news came to him of Bannister's achievement."I had got into this frame (of mind) where I had easily the best performances. Bannister had only run 4:02 once. I'd done it six times. I was staggered. I thought: 'Wow, what an amazing...

For most of the 20th century, life used to be rather simple for most people. There was school, college, work, retirement. Along with that you had hobbies like cars, bowling, or gardening. The former was more or a less of a chore, the latter the fun stuff you did in your free time, usually together with local friends from the same neighborhood. This was basically the same as a thousand years ago. For a few lucky people the two areas overlapped and they could do the stuff that they liked as their main job.Now, in the last 10 years of the 20th century, as well as in the first few years of the 21st, this has been changing rather dramatically. The reason is the rapid technical progress, both in the wide...

When Enzo Ferrari created his company Scuderia Ferrari in Italy in 1929 his intentions was to sponsor amateur race car drivers and invent racing cars, and it would take more than 15 years before Ferrari began to create their own road cars in 1946. Ferrari is still devoted to the creation of racing cars and high performance sports cars and do not create other types of cars. Scuderia Ferrari is still the widespread name for Gestione Sportiva, the part of the Ferrari company that works with racing...

As video games become more and more popular we see a greater demand for more virtual reality based interfacing. The cartoon video games are a lot of fun, but in the future if they are to hold the interest of the gamer they will need to be more like real life. This means more real footage must be taken and interfaced with the game.Since some of the most popular video games are car racing, motorcycle racing and vehicle contests, it makes sense to use video game image capturing strategies in the real world, on the real roads in order to put all this into the video game. For motorcycle racing video games it makes sense to put video cameras on the helmet of a rider or on a post right above the riders...

After just two races in the 2007 Formula 1 calendar complete, it is already looking much like the two horse race that everyone expected. What nobody expected was that McLaren would already be leading the race, with the sole exception of perhaps McLaren themselves. In Australia, Ferrari had a mixed race, with Raikkonen leading from pole to checkered flag very comfortably, while his team mate, Felipe Massa, managed to battle his way from the back of the grid up to a very respectable sixth position. Imagine, we all thought, how he might have done if he had started in the top six. Meanwhile, Alonso had qualified just behind Raikkonen, and the not completely unexpected presence of Nick Heidfeld separated...

Sir Tom Stoppard, the early plays3. Enter a Free ManSir Tom Stoppard's play Enter a Free Man (Originally called A Walk on the Water, made for TV, 1963) is a more complex play built up on the simple foundations of A Separate Peace (1960). The chief difference is that George Riley of Enter a Free Man, having a wife and daughter, has a commitment to a social group. Thus he has not opted out of society to the extent that Brown has, but when he opts out of paid employment the issue of the individual's responsibility to others is more immediate and concrete.Another important difference is that Riley takes upon himself an active role, that of inventor, whereas Brown wanted to do nothing and have nothing...

Australian grassroots motor racing grew up with the home built special. Many examples of these historic cars are still in existence today. Some were built as circuit racers, but many were built for the ever-popular hill climb events held at the various climbs scattered around Australia.To build a competitive home built racecar today requires many skills. Most importantly the racecar enthusiast constructor will need to have hands on knowledge of metal fabrication skills, i.e., knowing how to weld or braze metal, or machining skills may also be required to operate lathes and milling machines to produce many of the special one off parts. Just as in the early days of Australian motor racing, today...

(1)Tucson Arizona is the state's second largest city. Its population, estimated at over 900,000, is not far behind the Arizona state capital, Phoenix Arizona which has roughly 1.4 million residents. Surprisingly, (pleasantly so) Tucson does not emanate the typical air of a large city. Even with close to a million (2)Tucsonans, and a vibrant economic base, it somehow manages to 'feel' more like a mid-size town. Perhaps the perfect year around weather accounts for all the friendly folks, or it could be that the community is thriving and generally content. It could also be that such a prominent segment of the population is retired lending great stability and sagacity to the (3)Old Pueblo. It's a very...

The various forward lights on your Jeep are installed at its front end for a specific purpose: to make night and low visibility driving safer. First, those lights allow you to see the road ahead clearly at night and at other low visibility conditions. And while doing this, the lights also allow other people, especially drivers of vehicles approaching yours, to see your vehicle from afar.As genuine off-road vehicles, however, Jeep vehicles were made for trekking the rough and rugged off-road track. Using the vehicle for off-roading, however, would only mean damages to the Jeep front lights. It is, therefore, not surprising if you just see the front lights of your Jeep shattered after an off-road...

Almost everyone has played with diecast vehicles when they were a young child. When I went to grade school my friends and I collected ' Hot Wheels ' cars. We would make race tracks and construction zones in the dirt piles out back of our school and play with the vehicles at recess time. I remember having a holder that looked like a suitcase only smaller, it would open and inside I had probably 20 different vehicles, ranging from cars, to trucks and a few other things. We would play in the dirt with our diecast vehicles, racing them, or pretending we were construction crews, and we would dig tunnels in the dirt, and make hills and bridges to push are little cars and trucks around on. Probably most...
