Exciting and Affordable Mountain Bike Holidays Filed under: Sports While some people might consider lounging in a beach chair with an umbrella drink in hand the perfect way to spend a vacation, “slow” has never been my speed at all.

Quick: What do you see?! If you said three random seashells… you lose. Correct answer: A Nativity Scene. That’s Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. Even better is the story behind it: The longtime high school friends and Jasper residents [Elaine Buchta and Diane Manley] casually were strolling along the beach in St. Augustine, Fla., two months ago when Buchta, 56, spotted a seashell and said, “That looks like Mary.” … About a minute later, Manley saw a shell and said, “That looks like Joseph.” Unraveling Rangel
It’s been interesting to watch the stories that have described multiple ethics problems for Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and someone identified by The Hill as the top fundraiser for House Democrats. The Washington Post seems to have kicked things off with a story on July 14 saying that Rangel used official House stationary to solicit big donations for his Charles B.
