UPD: The year was quite tough, as you can see me trying to raise up the activity on this, photography-related, feed - and failing spectacularly in doing so. I beg your pardon for uploading this just now, too (got lots of holiday-themed activities, not only with my family, really). I can only hope that you still will be here with me, and I can only hope that this year will bring us all much better things than previous one. Cheers!

As a long-time Sixers fan, I was hoping to finally meet him this weekend—we were both planning to watch a mutual friend’s 10-year-old daughter do a charity swim for juvenile diabetes.
It wasn’t meant to be. Dawkins died unexpectedly of an apparent heart attack on August 27. He was only 58.
Then, this past weekend, the basketball world lost another legend, Moses Malone, also of an apparent heart attack. He was 60.
Two legendary players, two similar deaths. It makes you think, especially because they had another thing in common: They were both nearly 7 feet tall.
And these are just the latest tragedies. Wilt Chamberlin, who was 7-foot-1, died of heart failure at the age of 63. Earlier this year, Jack Haley, a 6-foot-10 center who played for the Bulls, Nets, Spurs, and other teams, died of heart disease at the age of 51. Last April, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a quadruple bypass at the age of 68.
This begs the question: Do taller men have a higher risk of heart disease and early death?
* A 1992 study of nearly 1,700 dead guys found that, on average, men shorter than 5’9” hung around till the ripe old age of 71. Men taller than 6’4”, on the other hand, checked out around the age of 64.
* The residents of Okinawa, an island off the coast of Japan, have historically had the longest life expectancy on earth—age 78 for men—and a 40 percent lower risk of heart disease and cancer. They also have the largest number of centenarians per capita. The average height of those who live to blow out 100 candles: is 5 feet even.
