AdventureSeeker7 I like this

AdventureSeeker7 is a 56 year old married guy from Michigan, USA.
I am an 11 year survivor of a bone marrow transplant for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. I am also a married man with 3 wonderful children and a fantastic wife. We share an interest in backpacking, gardening and reading all emails that we receive.

If you are looking for pretty pictures you won't find them on my site unless they are of places to backpack. But you will find links to interesting articles about the Christian faith, politics and backpacking.

The picture is a photo of our dog and his Christmas present. It is the first leather bone that he has not devoured the first day. He is still trying to figure out how to chew it and Feb is close at hand.

Palin Problem by Kathleen Parker on National Review Online

From the page: "Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first."

From the page: "These rising costs are linked to the increasing complexity of software, which has also resulted in increasing numbers of system vulnerabilities that might be exploited by malicious hackers and potential adversaries,” the report states, oeThe committee encourages the department to rely more broadly on [open-source software] and establish it as a standard for intra-department software development.”

Paul Polak has been helping people escape poverty in Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and elsewhere for 27 years. In Out of Poverty: What Works When Traditional Approaches Fail, the 74-year-old former psychiatrist and founder of International Development Enterprises--a nonprofit that develops low-cost equipment for farmers--argues that simple tools such as a $25 water pump can do more than large cash donations to aid many of the world's "dollar-a-day" people, of which there are an estimated 1.2 billion.
