Self harm

This BBC article caught my eye: Self-harm 'growing issue for men'. The article is focussed on the pressures on men and that they are turning to self-harm to cope. Has anyone noticed that females do this for too? A couple of quotes from the article: Young

Mystery tour!

One week of work to go, then we're on vacation! I have no idea where we're going, but I know what we're doing. It's our ninth wedding anniversary, and every three years we go to see a certain show (I'm

Copyright gone mad

Interesting Wired article, Copyright bill to kill tech? (Link via Jordon Cooper.) The Senate Judiciary Committee will consider a bill Thursday that would hold technology companies liable for any product they make that encourages people to steal copyright materials.

Goverment

Found a BBC article From soapbox to gogglebox . It's a good read. Winston Churchill never gave a TV interview, Harold Macmillan had to do an image makeover, and Harold Wilson studied John F Kennedy for how to behave on TV. Margaret Thatcher gave a pre-PM interview holding

Nashville Roadtrip

Hubby and I drove out to Nashville TN on Friday night to stay with Sehlat for the weekend. Caught the amazing fireworks display from the top of a multi-storey car park, I'd never seen shaped fireworks (heart, star, and a great smiley face) before, or the 3-
