KickItBack.com - earn money when you shop on ebay.com
I shop on ebay a lot. Ebay pays websites to send them traffic. Sign up for Kickitback.com, install a toolbar or bid from their site, ebay pays kickitback.com when you buy, and kickitback.com pays you a sizable portion of their commission.

Marble Countertops may release hazardous radon gas!
Real Estate Tip #628
Beware that certain types of marble used in countertops has been found to be releasing hazardous levels of radon gas. Some marble can contain high levels of Uranium releasing radiation and radon gas.
Bottom line, if you are buying a house with marble countertops, have it tested with a geiger counter!

Yoshi Yoshino - Benefits of barefoot running!
Yoshi Yoshino stayed at the hostel and taught us about the benefits of running barefoot!
Listen to the PBS interview:
http://www.kpbs.org/news/local?id=7294
“There isn’t a lot of scientific study on barefoot training. Research
has shown that wearing shoes to exercise takes more energy, and
that barefoot runners use about 4% less oxygen than shod runners.
Other studies suggest barefoot athletes naturally compensate for
the lack of cushioning and land more softly than runners in shoes,
putting less shock and strain on the rest of the body. Barefoot
runners also tend to land in the middle of their foot, which can
improve running form and reduce injury.”
