LuLuleMon
Quick thank you to Kristian who hooked me up with some sweet gear from a shop many people haven't heard of but should check out - Lululemon Athletica
They were the official 'casual' clothing sponsor to team Saxo Bank this year and for good reason. Their clothes are amazingly comfy but all based on function as a priority with design a close second. When you slip on one of their shirts you don't get the typical 'made for all fat American' cut, in fact their clothes are cut for people who work out and stay fit. So nice to have some clothing that isn't massively baggy or droopy around the belly.
If you're into yoga their clothing is perfect. There's a lot more for ladies in the store but guys should take a look as well. What they do have is extremely nice - I'm stoked to be sporting their gear. If you're in the DC area, they have a shop next to Lucky Jeans in Georgetown.

If you buy gas from BP
or support them in any way, you should bomb yourself. Odd sentence I know but considering their willingness to free a convicted killer, a guilty terrorist who bombed a plane full of people (many of them Americans) just so they could secure a deal to put more money in their fat wallets - the sentence fits.
Seriously, give some thought to where you buy gas, how much gas your car needs and how much you drive. There is one way to see more green on our planet and that's to give the oil companies less.
LONDON — BP said Thursday that it had lobbied the British government over a prisoner transfer agreement with Libya in late 2007 before the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi.
The oil giant said it was concerned a slow resolution would impact an offshore drilling deal with Libya, but insisted it was not involved in discussions regarding al-Megrahi's actual release in August 2009.
"It is a matter of public record that in late 2007, BP told the U.K. government that we were concerned about the slow progress that was being made in concluding a Prisoner Transfer Agreement with Libya," BP said in a statement Thursday. "We were aware that this could have a negative impact on U.K. commercial interests, including the ratification by the Libyan government of BP's exploration agreement."
BP signed a $900 million exploration agreement with Libya in May 2007, the same month that Britain and Libya inked a memorandum of understanding that paved the way for al-Megrahi's release from a Scottish prison.
Megrahi was the only person convicted over the 1988 bombing of a U.S. airliner over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people.
He was released on compassionate grounds after doctors said the 57-year-old Libyan was close to death. Nearly a year later, Megrahi is still alive.
BP insisted Thursday that it was not involved in the decision to free the bomber. Al-Megrahi's release outraged many relatives of the victims and led to calls in the U.S. for a boycott of Scottish goods.
