While you are listening to your favorite Bob Marley tune there is no reason why you can’t be getting in shape at the same time. One of the coolest exercise innovations that I’ve seen over the past few years is the recumbent trike. That is, an adult tricycle that is designed like a recumbent bicycle.

These pedal powered vehicles have three wheels for greater stability than you’d find on a bicycle. The seat is situated within the frame of the trike so the wheels are at about the same level as the seat. Because of this, the seat feels very much like a normal chair. Recumbent trikes are easier on your back, and some he even come with adjustable lumbar support. The pedals are in front of you as opposed to beneath you and a recumbent trike is great for outdoor excursions because you can use the bike seat for, well, a seat! That’s right, you can sit on the trike with no fear of it tipping over while you eat your picnic lunch.

And a recumbent trike makes it easy to climb hills because you can put it into very low gear and ascend the hill at low speed with no fear of the trike tipping sideways.

So, crank up the Bob Marley tunes on your iPod and hit the roads! You can get more information about recumbent trikes at http://recumbentcycle.net/recumbent-trike/

This is definitely one of my all-time favorite songs as it is for many people. In fact Rolling Stone named No Woman No Cry its 37th best song of all time.

As the month of May approaches, it’s hard to believe that it has been almost 32 years since reggae great, Bob Marley, died. And while it seems a cliché, Marley is an artist whose music certainly did not die with him.

The songs he penned continue to receive airplay both in their original form and as cover versions. He passed away at the age of 36 in 1981 and it’s interesting to speculate as to whether he could have continued the torrid creative pace that he maintains during his short musical career. He would be 68 years old this year and would be a contemporary of senior songwriters such as Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who have managed to remain productive throughout their career.

It’s also interesting to speculate as to whether a man of great affluence, as Marley was certainly becoming, could continue to write with passion about the plight of the poor and downtrodden. Since he always maintained his Jamaican roots throughout his career, I tend to think he would have.

To show you how profile he was, take a look at this list of Bob Marley Songs. You’ll certainly see a number of old favorites, but you might be surprised to see how many songs that you’ve never heard.

Game of Thrones is the Best that Television has to Offer

If you’re looking for a hot television show to watch, you can’t go wrong with the Game of Thrones. As it starts it’s third season, the story line is as good or better than it’s previous two seasons, and the lengthy original book will ensure that there will be no shortage of material for many years to come. The production has been remarkably well-cast and those who are fans of the books will have little reason to complain. And, for a television program, the production values are incredible. Since the story takes place in a fictional world with locations ranging from hot plains to mountain peaks to shoreline castles to the frigid north, finding and using suitable locations can’t be an inexpensive task.

The cast, in fact, is huge, with 257 Game of Thrones characters and cast members involved by the 3rd season of filming.

The show runs on a number of equally interesting story lines, including that of Eddard Stark (in the first season) and his family Stark. They are nobles from the north, and Eddard is reluctantly convinced by his old friend Robert Baratheon, the current king to become his right-hand man.

What follows is a story of intrigue, politics, revenge, betrayal, civil war, crime, punishment and full-out battle, as a number of noble houses struggle for supremacy of the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos.
