  • Information About Fitness: Iminds
    By: elichajhoneson | - When it comes to exercise, running is a last resort. The farthest Ive ever run is just over 5K, and that was in high school. Ive never experienced runners high, mastered steady breathing, or even managed to shake the feeling that I would rather be doing just about anything besides another lap. Part of the problem was always my overactive mind, which is very adept at justifying my inertia, every thud on the pavement inspiring another reason I should be alphabetizing my spice collection instead.

  • B Movies"'"a Primer
    By: Theron Neel | - As long as there have been movies, there have been B movies. Traditionally low-budget, barely publicized affairs, B movies are usually genre films (sci-fi, Western, horror, etc.) featuring actors of little or no repute, often made by small specialty studios and cranked out as if on an assembly line.

  • Marbella Villas: Moving Back Into The Sun
