German politicians are not happy about this picture published earlier in the week.
The two men are the president of Poland and his brother, the lady is German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Perhaps you can rent yourself for or against this.
Frequent flier miles are difficult to redeem and rarely add up to free tickets due to expiration rules. Several charities accept frequent flier mile donations including those which help the families of solders serving in Iraq.
With so many American families divided due to the war in Iraq, you can help out by donating to The Fisher House. This not-for-profit organization supports American military troops by aiding in humanitarian efforts outside of what the Department of Defense and Veteran Affairs can provide. Their program, Operation Hero Miles, is overseen by The Fisher House for the Department of Defense and supplies free airline tickets to military personnel undergoing treatment due to injuries received while serving in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Donations to a number of charities may be an attractive alternative since most expire after a limited amount of time. (United Airlines’ miles disappear after 18 months.) Unfortunately donated miles are not eligible for tax deduction. [via Consumerist]
Approximately 400 smoker’s rights activists are set to make their last stand today to urge the government to ease the upcoming smoking ban.
Smoking will be banned in almost all public places in England beginning July 1 (as France did earlier this year). It is unlikely that the government will reverse any portion of their decision since most of the public supports the ban. Second hand smoke has been classified a cause of cancer in humans (by the FDA) and causes 50,000 deaths in the United States alone annually.
The tobacco industry could have saved itself but instead they now market to minorities to make up for sales.
The Washington Post has an excellent Jersey Shore Guide if you are going anytime soon. Personally, I’m not big fan.
From L’avant Poste to foXnoMad, the site is one year old (as of June 24). So, well happy birthday to us!

Comments about the posts, site, or random “anything what-say-you” in the comments – holla!
Here is the very first post…
…just doesn’t sound “right” if you know what I mean.
A man who lost his ball in a golf course pond nearly lost a limb…to a one-eyed gator.
The first paragraph of the article says it all.
