Joleen Dudley told NBC that when her husband lost his job, “I panicked. I saw six months down the road and my husband still not having a job and having a mortgage that we wouldn’t be able to pay.”
Dave and Joleen had long dreamed of ditching their high-maintenance lifestyle and living free as birds. But the idea really hit home when Dave started to crunch numbers. -

Steve Collins has a great collection of some photos of his old Matchbox cars. What I can't believe is that he still has some of the old original boxes.

We bought the subs in 1998, it started on fire in 2004 and now won't be fixed until 2012. Canada isn't exactly a naval power is it?
Repair work on the fire-ravaged HMCS Chicoutimi won't start until 2010, leaving the Canadian navy short by one submarine and raising concerns about whether the vessel will ever be returned to service.
The Department of National Defence announced Friday that repairs to Chicoutimi will be delayed for another four years so that the money that would have gone into repairs can be spent elsewhere, including on two of Canada's other submarines.
"This will improve our ability to get Victoria and Corner Brook back into service and better position the navy to have two boats fully operational in 2009," the navy said. -

According to the Atlantic Monthly's James Fallows – The Chinese government does not report, and may not even measure, what other countries consider the most dangerous form of air pollution: PM2.5, the smallest particulate matter, tiny enough to work its way deep into the alveoli. Instead, Chinese reports cover only the grosser PM10 particulates, which are less dangerous but more unsightly, because they make the air dark and turn your handkerchief black if you blow your nose. (Spitting on the street: routine in China. Blowing your nose into a handkerchief: something no cultured person would do.) These unauthorized PM2.5 readings, sent out on a Twitter stream (BeijingAir), show the pollution in Beijing routinely to be in the "Very Unhealthy" or "Hazardous" range, not seen in U.S. cities in decades. I've heard from friends about persistent coughs and blood tests that show traces of heavy metals.
