One of my newest favorite bloggers is Eugene Cho. I really enjoyed this one.

Mofast contemplates one of my favorite biblical thought experiments posed by N.T. Wright.

One of my favorites from Down Under, Byron Smith, (again) helps me dispel the dualism that still runs rampant in my heart and mind.

I love Nathan Gann's soul-searching honesty. Here's a good example.

    It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sneakers[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt shoes review[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt walking shoes[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] more remarkable.

    MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]mbt shoes review[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]mbt sneakers[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]mbt shoes review[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]MBT[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]MBT shoes[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt sneakers[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.

    The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]MBT[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]buy mbt shoes[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]buy mbt shoes[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.

    The makers claim that this natural instability [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] strengthens the muscles, increases muscle activity, calorie [B]MBT[/B] burn and blood circulation. They also say that it reduces the shock forces [U]shoe for worked[/U] on joints which help prevent a variety of degenerative muscular and skeletal problems [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] including back pain.

    As to the question of whether they [B]MBT[/B] are worth the money I suppose this has to be a personal judgement.

However, if you are someone [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] who just goes for gentle walks to keep fit then perhaps a [U]mbt sandals[/U] good pair of conventional trainers at [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] half the price will be fine.
