		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t take this as an excuse to half-ass your workouts, because it&#8217;s not. This is hopefully a contract between us that will initiate some tough love. Here&#8217;s the agreement that hopefully we can come to; when you&#8217;re in the gym, you&#8217;re there to workout.

		<title>Losing weight, high fat vs low fat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the great, long-winded debate on &#8220;what is the better diet&#8221; you often see the likes of personalities Gary Taubes vs Dean Ornish debating the issue of whether fat has a role in someone&#8217;s diet.

		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re a fan of using text files for your TODO lists, do yourself a favor and check out TaskPaper.

		<description><![CDATA[Upgraded to ruby 1.8.7. Went to the script/console, executed a basic activerecord find command and received the following error : Mysql::Error: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server.
