The [Organisation for] Economic Co-operation and Development found the US had the highest inequality and poverty after Mexico and Turkey, and the gap has in Continue reading

The Special Holiday #FollowFriday EditionAs I mentioned yesterday, I’m on vacation (and less than 24 hours from hiking Pike’s Peak!) so I’m being semi-lazy. Following are my #FollowFriday lists for the past six weeks. I love #FollowFriday on Twitter . It’s fun to see what crazy things people will say about you (i.e. @StayBankdotCom today said people should follow me because I put words in people’s mouths for a living…to which I responded “SPIN SUCKS!”). But there also is some backlash happening because it turns out that most Continue reading

Don’t invite me to your family camping trip – I will briefly ruin itI suck at social situations, I really do. I don’t know why I try or even get myself into these situations. I went to Allegheny last weekend to get information from park police and to do some hiking, as my friend and I have a goal to hike every trail before the winter hits (or maybe it was ‘before we die’)…and noticed a few days before the weekend that a girl we know will be up there with her boyfriend the same weekend. I thought “great, we’ll knock off another trail and visit them for a litt Continue reading

musicohm.com interview: amy rayjan 2001 by pam huwig[link to source]Let us introduce you to a taste of some of the rawest, edgiest music to hit studios lately and to pass through Indigo Girl Amy Ray’s lips.The Indigo Girls’ bond is strong enough to accommodate and encourage creative solo endeavours and, since the majority of Indigo Girls fans are deeply devoted to the duo of Emily and Amy, there is no doubt that Amy’s first record on her own will be gobbled up by hungry fans, both established and new. You shouldn’t be surpri Continue reading
Perlabella - Retinol Anti-Aging Face PearlsWhen I signed up to do the MomFluence.com Gift Guide extravaganza, I expected to get a teething ring or a car seat cover. Little did I know I would be getting a product that would have me acting like an ace reporter finding the best source available for an interview. You see, I have extremely sensitive skin, and if the box doesn’t say “hypoallergenic” .. I can’t get it near my skin - especially my face. So when I received the Perlabella retinol Anti-Aging Face serum in the mail I, at firs Continue reading
The modern worship experience: Text, tweet and please log on to 2 Thessalonians?The Abilene Reporter-News had an interesting story last week about worshipers bringing their iPhones and Blackberrys to church: Southern Hills Church of Christ minister Phil Ware can gaze out into the aisles and see more than a few members of his church bathed in a familiar, digital radiance. The gleam comes from smart phones in their hands, but church-goers aren’t tuning out Ware or whoever is preaching. “When it gets a little darker, you can look around and see these little Continue reading

I look forward to your questions. Bowie, Md.: Dear Prudie, I have a great boyfriend of 2 years, and there are no major problems between us, except that he rarely brushes his teeth.

And Franken Makes 60As a political writer and blogger, I applaud the decision of the Minnesota Supreme Court that effectively made Alan Stuart Franken the junior senator from Minnesota for the next six years.Of course, it’s not such a good thing for Republicans, considering that the Democrats have added another body to their already huge majority.

Day 14.1: Why I Swallowed the Kool-Aid on Organic WineDouble dose today, the interest was greater than my capacity for scheduling and Amy managed to sneak in after the deadline, but the more the merrier. Amy Atwood comes to us from MyDailyWine where she gets into organic and biodynamic wines every few days, which is better for the liver i suppose. When I first got into the wine business in 1996, there wasn’t much talk about organic wine, much less the natural wine movement. Domestic U.S. wines that were labeled organic were mostly poor qualit Continue reading

The first is by Glenn Beck and Peter Schiff and the second from Amy Smart of Environment America.

The second video is much shorter than the first It features a beautiful woman and gorgeously photographed scenes calling not only for Waxman-Markey to be passed, but to be made mo Continue reading
