As high tech spreads outward from Silicon Valley to American society at large and people spend more and more time in cyberspace, the journalist Paulina Borsook steps back to look at the digerati and their view of the world. --Michiko Kakutani, "Silicon Valley Views the Economy as a Rain Forest," [1]New York Times, July 25, 2000 [T]his week, over 3,000 digerati will converge at a swank theater where chef Julia Child and pundit Arianna Huffington, among others, will judge 135 Web sites. --David Whitman, "The calm before the storms," [2]U.S.News & World Report, May 15, 2000 __________________________________________________ _______ Digerati was formed by analogy with literati, "persons knowledgeable about literature." |

Though my love of beer is more talk then walk, Trips down to the local get fewer and far between as time goes by . Spend more time trying to lose the stomach I gifted myself in my late teens and early twenties and prefer water . |

| 413172 | 2005-12-20 09:48:00 | I am of the opinion that the only way to reduce stomach size,is to shorten the the ab muscles with press ups or similar. Walking wont do it. I have a mate,a marathon runner and he has a gut. |

| 413173 | 2005-12-20 09:57:00 | Well, I looked into it,and spot training is a myth, You have to reduce all over body fat to lose a gut,and do the correct exercises to pull the stomach up and in, I still have a big gut,but it sits higher and tighter then a couple months back. Its also a fair bit smaller... On nights when I don't go to the gym I do 100 crunches, 50 side crunches, 50 double leg extensions, 60 press ups. Then I do 8km on the rowing machine. Have also cut out all suger, Midnight feasts of toast, Milkshakes, nearly all takeaway food and during the day eat cans of fruit and chicken salad sandwhiches rather then battered fish ,pies and cream cakes. Have gone from wearing pants that were 105-107 cm down to 97's, and could easily go down another size. |
