    News Income Inequality Causes Social Unrest?

    Maybe only a small hypocrisy--the concern isn't always that the raises are disparate, but that when the raises stop, or people start losing their job, who is in a better position to cope? You can't completely shoot down the inequality argument: while the poor got their 10% raises and the...

    What Are Some Tips for Successful Gardening?

    I would love to do this natural rock retaining wall. I am in 'merica, live right by a small stream with lots of sandstone like those pictured. It'd just be a LOT of hauling. Might have to make it a long term goal (until I can find someone with a truck and a free afternoon anyway).

    What to Do About a Minor Car Scratch: VW Service Center Costs

    The paint pens they sell at auto parts stores can look pretty decent if you're careful about your work (small scratches). Just get your car color and a clear coat pen, and some very fine sand paper, and have a go at it.

    Can MyFitnessPal and Zumba Help Me Lose Weight?

    I'd also recommend the doing Starting Strength. Rippetoe's program is great. Another good one is Starr's 5x5. You don't need meat, but eggs and milk is more than enough of a protein source. In particular, women don't even have the same protein need that men do precisely because they won't be...
