The Other One

Formula1Sport has the latest news in F1 and today the big news is all about the forthcoming spy trial. Reconvened by the FIA, the World Motor Sport Council is taking the place of the Appeal Court as new evidence has come into the court's hands. Some say it is to do with phone calles between Fernando Alonso and Pedro de la Rosa, others doubt it. Read more on our F1 news site.

Our site that looks at the implications of the F1 news, F1 Insight, has a post considering the possibilities inherent in these new developments. Much depends upon the outcome of the case, perhaps even the survival of F1 as we know it.

Rollo too is up in arms, having returned for another look at the Senator Larry Craig case. In Rollo's News-sense, he gives his view on things and points out the implications for all of us.

It seems that everyone is angry today. Over at Money Trends it's the early iPhone customers who are annoyed at missing out on the dramatic price cuts on the expensive phone. One can understand how they feel and Apple have had to go back on their intention to give rebates only to those who bought phones 14 days before the price cut.

Finally, and to give us a breather from all this anger, G.A.L.S. - Get It All for Less writes about free samples of laundry detergent. Now there's a refreshing change from the general mood of the day!

For the F1 fraternity, Formula1Sport has the news as usual, while F1 Insight goes into nostalgic mode, remembering Bruce McLaren, the driver who founded the all-conquering racing team of the same name. As the Italian Grand Prix approaches, it is entirely appropriate since McLaren will be one of three teams fighting for overall victory.

Today, Rollo is musing on the delights of the Segway, that curious wheeled invention that cannot fall over. Or can it? Head on over to Rollo's News-sense to find out the hilarious truth.

If you're feeling a little more serious, why not have a look at Minding Your Money, where you can find out which country has the most productive workers. It's quite a surprise! Global Warming Trends also has a somber note to add to today's harvest, with news of Hurricanes Felix and Dean.

To lighten the mood, Why Keep Dogs and Bark Myself? has a story about genes and fruit flies to amuse us. Perhaps the funniest thing is that it's all true!

And that's it for this Tuesday. More tomorrow, no doubt.

We've been busy today, with just about everything updated. F1 Insight and Formula1Sport have their daily posts, Insight with some thoughts on the night racing that Bernie Ecclestone is introducing with next year's Singapore Grand Prix.

Minding Your Money has things to say about budgeting for a vacation - and spending the money once you've decided where to go. Over at Global Warming Trends, we can learn about how Lake Chad in Africa forced the Times Atlas to reprint - and it's all thanks to global warming!

MusicGeeks updates rather less frequently than our other blogs so it's a day for celebration when a new post happens along. Today it's the Lovin' Spoonful coming under the microscope - a group from the sixties that stands out as being different from all the others. Well worth a read and a listen.

Andrea tells more of the truth in her article for Why Keep Dogs and Bark Myself? today. As the run in to school enters its final phase, she reflects on how life must seem for a young teenager and the struggle it can be at times. I really must recommend this blog to everyone, not just the mommies - for wry humor it is hard to beat!

And so to whitening strips. Yes, G.A.L.S. - Get It All for Less! has the latest info on where to get free samples and come up smiling every time. Now that can't be bad, surely...

Finally, and most importantly, Nedfulthings has an update and it's a poem. As ever, the quality is astounding, the work of a gifted poet. If you are interested at all in poetry, real poetry, not the usual blog-mangled haikus, go have a read and feel the meanings.

Well, naturally F1 Insight has its daily post and this time it's about the enjoyment of motor racing itself. F1 enthusiasts are a different breed from most fans and delight in all the complicated processes that surround the sport, as well as the races themselves.

Andrea has a wry look at little boys' fascination with small creatures in Why Keep Dogs and Bark Myself? She is talking from personal experience as usual and tells it as it is.

Rollo's News-sense has a look at the case of Senator Larry Craig's arrest and finds much to be concerned about. We have heard of arrests based on flimsy evidence but this one really seems to be a matter of opinion and little else. No wonder Rollo gets a bit steamed!

Meanwhile, I discovered a great blues harmonica player on YouTube and wrote about him in MusicGeeks. If you like the blues, have a listen - you won't regret it!

Global Warming Trends takes a look at the statistics for scientific papers published for and against man-made global warming and finds some surprising facts. If you thought there was a general consensus amongst scientists, it seems you need to think again!

Then you could find out about credit card defaults on Minding Your Money. It may be a depressing subject but hey, somone has to keep an eye on it...

On a lighter note, G.A.L.S. - Get it All for Less has a story about a beauty pageant entrant bitten by a rattlesnake. Help arrives in the form of yet another of these beautiful ladies - a real life Miss Congeniality!

Over at Global Warming Trends, Andrea has written about Patrick Moore's criticism of Leonardo di Caprio's film, The 11th Hour. As a co-founder of Greenpeace, Patrick should know what he is talking about and he makes some telling points.

F1 Insight is updated every day (except for the occasional Sunday when exhaustion takes its toll) and today's post looks at the performance and prospects of Super Aguri's Anthony Davidson in his first full season of Formula One. With the team in financial difficulties, things do not look too bright for the young driver, particularly in view of his atrocious luck in the races.

Have a look, too, at Formula1Sport, which has several up to date news items as well as some lively debates in the comments system.
