Off the bat, you'll probably have to live in NYC.
I know there is what the Times claims as criteria and then in practise.
Look at Jayson Blair, his entire resume before the Times showed a kid with limited experience who needed seasoning and time before he should work for a big paper.
Now I understand, that the Times, being the liberals they are, wanted "diversity" and wanted an african american.
What bothered me, was that, they can't be serious and say this was the best african american they could find, there had to be better canidates, as far as I can tell, I would guess they went in alphabetical order when they picked blair.
Oh, one thing, you have to have a real liberal (excuse me, to quote the head of the paper "urban") background.
Ignore the fact that the previous editor was from the south and was just a liberal in the john edwards mold.
No problem... just keep in mind that I am downloading my audio books from Audible.com, which specifically designed their books to work with iTunes/iPod.. I have not tried to rip audio books from CDs.. but I see no reason why that wouldn't work either. In any case, Audible is the best way to go, as they can be bookmarked, and then synced with iTunes. In other words, you can listen to one hour of a book on the iPod, plug it into your computer, and then listen to the book from your computer for a couple of hours, without ever having to wonder where you had last left off (iTunes will start from where you left off from the iPod... Then the iPod will remember where you left off from iTunes)...
Dang. Wussy music.
This week's free song by Feist at the iTunes Music Store is iPod-worthy, IMO.
That works, but sometimes it is tricky to preserve the order of the chapters in the playlist. Some book divide each CD in 100 separate tracks - with no album name, track number in the title, etc. Also, it doesn't take advantage of the playback rate, the bookmark feature, etc. like Audible.com content does.
I wonder what the author would say if President Bush had the album version of the Knack's "Good Girls Don't" on there.
I got a fever, and the only prescription is.....
If he's training like that, and in that kind of shape, I half expect him to show up at some NORBA events after his second term.
If W does take up racing, the USSS better really get in shape to keep up with him!
I bet he's got "French People suck" by The Meatmen
I think Alan Jackson is traditional. Kenny Chesney is not (that "Caribbean" thing is very old and tiresome).
The 220-age applies to the average population, and not to athletes. The average population being of course quite sedentary. I am 50 y.o. and maintain about 175 bpm during a 40 km time trial (road cycling). Of course the "instructors" at a place like Bally's Total Fitness can not grasp that, since:
1. I should be dead at that heart rate.
2. I'm not capable of more than 30 minutes walking.
W is in the shape of a master's athlete. I'd like to see if he shows up at the Lajitas mountain bike event in 2009. KICK BUTT!
How many times are they going to keep acting like there was something wrong with going in the National Guard. I was sick of hearing this six years ago. Can I call this woman up?
