<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="bodysub">I read this today on the <a title="Yes Magazine" href="http://www.yesmagazine.org/article.asp?ID=1596&#38;utm_source=ed0708&#38;utm_medium=email&#38;utm_campaign=22_7ways" target="_blank">Yes Magazine</a> website.  I think it is worth reposting and spreading around.</span></p>
<p><span class="bodysub">Has the cash economy swallowed up your life? Here are some ways to extract some of your time and "life energy" from the cash economy.</span></p>
<p><span class="bodysub"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Reduce debt</span>. If you can't pay cash, don't buy it. Practice being mindful about what you buy and why.</span></p>
<p><span class="bodysub"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Do it yourself.</span> Grow food, pick berries, can and preserve food, make wine, bake bread. Make or repair clothes, furniture, and gifts. Create your own entertainment. Walk, bike, run, or play basketball instead of joining a fitness club.</span></p>
<p><span class="bodysub"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Share &#38; Exchange</span>. Take care of neighbor kids and elders. Play music, sing, act in local theater, write poems, hold art shows. Exchange haircuts for applesauce, bike repair for massage, language tutoring for babysitting.</span></p>
<p><span class="bodysub"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Reduce waste &#38; pollution</span>. Weatherize your home or apartment. Reduce your car usage, or get rid of a car.</span></p>
<p><span class="bodysub"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Buy local.</span> Run buy-local campaigns, print stickers, publish or post a directory of local businesses. Acknowledge business owners who foster the well-being of the environment, employees, and the whole community. Convert public funds from luring outside corporations to supporting local businesses. </span></p>
<p><span class="bodysub"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Start a new local business.</span> Start a food market, credit union, wifi network, or even an electricity co-op. Explore ownership options like cooperatives, nonprofits, for-profits, or single proprietorships.</span></p>
<p><span class="bodysub"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Buy Fair Traded</span> when you buy imports. Vote with your dollar for a better world for all.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img378.imageshack.us/img378/8363/fulminees8.jpg" alt="" width="267" height="189" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nei <a href="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/vanity-fair-n24-18-giugno-2008/#comments">commenti di un post</a> scritto da poco, io e <a href="http://smallstar.wordpress.com/">Smallstar</a> abbiamo chiacchierato di gusti estetici ed ideale fisico del partner. Il mio uomo ideale l'ho descritto in questo modo: <em>Un pò più basso di me… 1.70/75 va bene. Biondo con i connotati del bruno oppure bruno. Massiccio ma non grosso. Cioè, con un bel fisico ma non body builder e possibilmente con manigliuccia dell’amore. Gli addominali a vista proprio non mi piacciono. E lo voglio decisamente maschile! </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bene, questa mattina, mentre mi dannavo sulla <em>Step Machine</em> cercando di mantenere il galleggiamento dei pedali, ha fatto il suo ingresso in sala lui. Io mio tipo ideale. Quello di cui parlavo prima. Stavo ascoltando il ritornello di una canzone che fa così:   <em>It's okay be gay, let's rejoice with the boys in the gay way<br />
Hooray for the kind of man that you will find in the gay way</em>. Praticamente è entrato nel momento giusto.<em> </em> Il galleggiamento dei pedali per un attimo ha smesso di esistere ed i miei occhi hanno seguito il giovane nei preparativi del sollevamento pesi. Bellissimo. Il fisico molto asciutto era anche abbastanza massiccio. Due belle braccia e delle spalle che non si descrivono. Una piccola aquila tatuata sulla scapola. Il volto, la parte più bella, era stretto e la barba un pò incolta ne accentuava i lineamenti. Il naso, leggermente storto riusciva a dare quel tocco di realtà all'insieme. Pantalone lungo ed un pò largo verde militare, canotta nera e guantini. Praticamente un <em>go go boy</em> sceso in terra per allietare la mattinata al fitness club!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mentre io proseguivo il mio percorso cardio non ho potuto fare a meno di notare alcune cosette che mi hanno fatto apprezzare ancora di più il ragazzuolo.</p>
<ol style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Super impegnato con i sui esercizi, appena ha visto una ragazza un pò cicciottella sbagliare il suo esercizio, prontamente è andato in suo soccorso per spiegarle l'errore. Quindi ne possiamo dedurre che è molto gentile.</li>
<li>Con le cuffiette del suo I-Pod ficcate nell'orecchio, nella pausa tra un esercizio e l'altro, non poteva fare a meno di muovere le spalle e le braccia (leggermente) a ritmo di musica. Decisamente irresistibile. Quindi ne possiamo dedurre che è una persona a cui non frega proprio il pensiero degli altri e vuole divertirsi e sorridere quando e come vuole.</li>
<li>Quando si è spostato nella sala accanto ha messo tra i denti, stretto in bocca, il cavo delle cuffiette che penzolava troppo sulla canotta. Ora, devo precisare che io ho una fissa per queste cose. Adoro stringere tra i denti le lettere quando, nel fare le scale, ho tutte le mani impegnate. Lo trovo molto molto eccitante. La mia gioia nel vedere il <em>boy</em> con il cavetto in bocca è stata, quindi, tanta. Ne possiamo dedurre che il ragazzo è il mio tipo!!!</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ovviamente non c'ho provato con lui. Tra le mie regole c'è quella di non stringere amicizia con i colleghi e non provarci mai con ragazzi che frequentano i miei stessi luoghi. Dovrò accontentarmi di osservarlo e carpirne l'essenza della sua spontaneità. Capire perchè mi ha colpito così tanto positivamente e rubargli la sua scheda degli esercizi. Quel fisico era proprio il massimo. Ormai il <a href="http://pinkandthecity.wordpress.com/?s=manzo+watching">manzo watching</a> è cominciato anche al fitness club. Ne uscirò solo con la prima caduta delle foglie, ma nel frattepo mi diverto.</p>

The guest is Tina Peng, author of <em>Newsweek</em>'s "<a title="Gym Sins" href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/140685" target="_blank">Gym Sins</a>," in which "fitness club memberships dish about their members' most obnoxious habits." Among my favorite gym sins:</p>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li>A woman who was caught toasting bread and melting cheese for a grilled cheese sandwich in a sauna. She claimed she had done this dozens of times and didn't understand why cooking -- in the gym's sauna! -- would be offensive;</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li>The two guys who recently joined a gym and decided to weigh themselves. Naked. The only problem? The scale was outside the locker room and located in the public hallway; and</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align:left;">
<li>The people who stick hairdryers in their dirty, sweaty shoes to dry their sneakers, and those that use hairdryers to, um... well, dry their general mid-sections.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align:left;">I think I'll skip this afternoon's gym workout in favor of a run around the park.</div>
<div style="text-align:left;"></div>
<div style="text-align:left;"><em>Play, think...<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If getting fit is difficult for you to achieve on your own, a good alternative is to join a fitness club where they can help motivate you - but you will need to choose one that suits you and your style. You need to asses what your priorities are and try to find a club that will meet these needs. If you choose your club well you will probably be a member for a long time; the reverse is also true. The most important factor is where your club is located as the biggest reason for people giving up is because they have to go out of their way to get to it; so a location close to where you live or work is preferable.</p>
<p>Having a decent well qualified instructor is the next most important as a good instructor will encourage you to not only attend but to keep the fitness training up. Always inform your physical trainer if you require any special attention or have any limitations they need to know about in advance. You can ask the staff what services they offer, this will give you the chance to find out how helpful, friendly and professional they are. Some fitness clubs have their own dietician and physical therapists that can offer additional services.</p>
<p>Often it is the opening times of these clubs that let them down and he standard range of programs is not varied enough to suit most peoples needs. Often, if you have a specific class that you are looking to join, a fitness club can offer a trial lesson to make sure it is what you are looking for. It may seem like a minor point but if the club doesn't have sufficient training equipment to go around, queues are likely to form and that is when people start to leave. The more modern fitness facilities available these days are world apart from training equipment a few years ago; machines are much safer and easier to use but look out for damaged or broken machines as these should really be fixed within a week.</p>
<p>The higher quality clubs also offer a lot of advice and support on various <a href="http://quickweightloss.weightlossgidiet.com/quick-weight-loss-programs/">quick weight loss programs</a>, so if you also need to lose a few pounds you'll be in good hands.</p>
<p>Almost all clubs have a healthy social calendar and this is a good time to get an invitation before you join and perhaps meet few people you might be able to get on with when you're training. You will also need to know what the membership fees are, whether they increase a great deal every year and if there are charges not mentioned in the literature. If you are serious about joining a fitness club, you will really need to look at more than one; after all it is your money! Although all of this may sound like a great deal of effort to go to, you won't want to do this every year, so it is important to find a club you want to stay at.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/tTJMerul33E'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/tTJMerul33E&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>La seconda volta che sono andato in palestra mi si sono avvicinati due...uno sui 53 anni, molto effemminato, l' altro sui 35, mascolina ma dall' aspetto un po' da porco.</p>
<p>Il giovane: "Where do you come from?"</p>
<p>io:"I'm Italian"</p>
<p>lui: "How do you say: can you borrow me your olive oil?" -  Come dite: mi puoi prestare il tuo olio di oliva</p>
<p>per un millisecondo, ma solo un millisecondo, mi e` venuto da rispondere...ma il millisecondo dopo ho capito...</p>
<p>ed ho assunto un' espressione che era una via di mezzo tra un abbozzo di sorriso e un "che cazzo vai trovando" e un "no way, man...keep out of my ass"...insomma, avevo il sorriso e gli occhi sbarrati (con la A, mi raccomando).</p>
<p>Interviene allora il vecchio lurido e sorridendo dice: "He's always looking for sex" - Cerca sempre sesso</p>
<p>E ho cominciato a notare che la palestra e` piena di gay...che non erano, come avevo gia` notato dalla prima lezione di prova, "casi isolati" ...</p>
<p>Con sommo terrore sono allora andato nella sauna...e in 15 minuti sono stato abbordato due volte...da due pero` piu` fini...</p>
<p>Parlandone in ufficio con alcune colleghe ho scoperto che e` risaputo che in quella palestra ci sono molti gay...il 90% degli uomini direi... e per questo molte donne ci vanno piu` volentieri.</p>
<p>La volta dopo ho provato il bagno turco (che e` piu` secco), e qui e` andata meglio...finalmente ecco la famosa promiscuita` delle palestre olandesi...sono entrato dentro e c'erano due donne...una con l' asciugamano che copriva il basso ventre, e l'altra sdraiata completamente nuda che leggeva (?) e mangiava patatine. Quest'utima poi, molto rilassata, se ne stava con le gambe aperte a squadra nella mia direzione.</p>
<p>Cio` nonostante comunque era molto naturale e posso assicurare che non vengono pensieri torbidi (se uno non se li fa venire)...</p>
<p>Cheers and Chips</p>
