    Feminist Author Betty Friedan Dies at 85

    What's so scary about Al Quaeda is that it's a highly distributed organization with mostly autonomous "cells" that are empowered to plan and execute their own missions. The overall objective "attack American and allied interests" was given already, now every head of the hydra is busy carrying...

    Reading....anyone else here not into it at all?

    My attention span has definitely decreased over the years (but the number and scope of my life responsibilities has increased). I find magazines, and reading stuff on the Internet to be perfect for getting the information I want/need. Plus, as time goes by I realize that life is precious...

    msnbc "to catch a predator" shocking ****

    But these reporters are doing this particular story again and again in a short span of time. Because it's very, very easy, and the perceived threat these people pose give their investigative activities a PR multiplier.

    Good Night and Good Luck

    Well written, acted and directed. However, it felt like it was missing something - hard to say what it was, though. Brave choice to film and show it in black and white...

    msnbc "to catch a predator" shocking ****

    This type of criminal is so easy to go after. I'd like to see these same reporters do undercover drug and gun buys, gambling dens and infiltrate Al Quaeda.

    Where's the BIG MONEY at???

    Find a service that people need or want, and deliver it on time and at a decent price, with an unimpeachable streak of honesty and integrity. By "decent" I mean not too low (you won't cover your expenses, and it makes you look like a desperate amateur) nor too high (you'll price yourself out...

    if you could go back in time, who would u like to meet?

    Was shot by a would-be assassin while giving a speech. The speech notes in a breast pocket slowed the bullet down so it inflicted a mere flesh wound. Though bleeding, Roosevelt continued speaking until finished and then sought medical attention.

    if you could go back in time, who would u like to meet?

    Yup, that would be neat to see. When the enemy is channeled into a narrow pass (whether by accident or your design) it's called a chokepoint. The Kasserine Pass in WWII was another infamous choke point - German 88mm anti-air artillery pointed at the ground and used spectacularly at Allied...

    The guys who sell everyone the beer, pretzels and wings?

    If you flirt your mom, she'll let you do anything you want.

    What strikes me more than anything about SamePendo's post, is that a friend of his would admit to something as socially taboo as what he had done. I really have to give the friend credit for admitting something like that.

    Funny, REAL ACTUAL, things that have happened to you?

    I had a paranoid (and incredibly hot!) client who thought that her ex-husband and minions hired by her ex were breaking into her home constantly (and were never caught, by the way!), and stealing court-related documents and rearranging stuff in order to "gaslight" her. She wasted a lot of...

    The Ultimate Pick-Up Spots

    Try making a comment about the book (hey, that James Frey guy turned out to be some lying jerk, eh?), or other merchandise you're near.

    Being Well Off - How to use to your advantage?

    It's all about how the gal feels, not the accessories Interesting case - a client of mine who I got to know socially (rarely happens, which is actually a good thing) spent like 30 mins outside checking out a guy's new Nissan Altima - he pulls up and tells her about it, and she disappears for...

    Appreciate Life

    I had strange symptoms about 2.5 yrs ago. Neither my doctors nor myself knew what it was, until I had them check my blood again and it turned out to be mononucleosis. Some of the stuff I felt really worried me, but finding out that I wasn't fatally ill was like a beam of bright holy light...
