The last time I went to a Halloween party, my husband and I ended up spending over $100 on our costumes.
They weren’t really anything elaborate - I think we were both punk rockers. I wore an AC/DC shirt (yes I know, not very punk - whatever), a jean skirt, fishnets, Chucks, a spiky dog [...]

Yes, another recipe using the famous Magimix 4200. My previous blender was not powerful or sharp enough to chop meat, so I was pleased to read in the instruction manual that this one is. What better way to test it out than making beef burgers. I am always a bit unsure of exactly what minced meat is really made from, and I assume it is not the best quality meat and all the left over bits. Now I

Alas, the answer is: “It depends.”
Quick definition of terms: A bridging fee is what you pay to a lender for a (very) short term loan, in today’s [...]

After dilly-dallying around forever about pursuing a definitive diagnosis for Peanut, we are finally going to have a multi-day evaluation done in the next month. We've run into various hurdles trying to get him seen at some of the larger children's hospital programs up in Boston (don't take our insurance, can't see us for months, lost our paperwork, can see us but only when we are already going to be out of town, and best of all, multiple attempts at attending appointments only to foiled by Peanut vomiting all over the car on the trip up. Twice that happened, and I had to cancel appointments we'd waited months for.)We have finally decided that now is the time for an independent evaluation, and after talking to other parents of developmentally delayed kids we know, ended up discovering a

Mercury Studio presents a facinating correction to the AP's recent article I took apart earlier in which the reporter credited the pretentious novelist's recent book as being the first to feature comic book pages included (via Newsarama blog):It's horribly, appallingly nerdy of me to pipe up about this, (or even to know it, I guess) but Laura Esquivel and Miguelanxo Prado beat him by over a decade. Esquivel's novel "The Law of Love" came out in 1995 and contained several comic book sections illustrated by Prado that functioned as part of the narrative.I have but one thing to say about this: it just proves how anyone who feels that the mainstream press doesn't do any serious fact-checking isn't too far off!Mercury also says that:It's always a little frustrating seeing these "novelists do comics" articles because they only seem interested in novelists dipping their toes into work-for-hire superhero projects or (in the case of the Stephen King item) allowing others to adapt their w
A threat warning issued by the United States in Germany last month could involve attack plans by an al Qaeda-affiliated group of Kurdish militants, officials said on Friday. U.S. and German authorities said, however, that there was no new threat in Germany beyond the official April 20 State Department warning. They were responding to a report by ABC News on its Web site on Friday that officials believe terrorists were in the advanced planning stages for an attack on U.S. military personnel or tourists in Germany.Some German media reports have suggested involvement by Iraqi militants. However, U.S. officials rejected the notion of a role by Ansar al-Islam, a militant group of Iraqi Kurds and Arabs who have vowed to establish an independent Islamic state in Iraq. "There is intelligence reporting suggesting there is a group interested in staging an attack, potentially in Germany," said a U.S. official who asked not to be named because the issue involves classified information.In full
One of the smartest strategies deployed by some very successful bloggers is to get their readers involved in providing the contents, materials to the site which in turn let other readers read about them.How many blogs can you think of that use such strategy? There are a handful of these and they are doing extremely well with more and more readers spreading the word of mouths about it. It just grow and grow on its own. The initial phase of setting such a site up is not easy of cos but if you strike it good, all the hard work pays off. Some time last year, I helped in setting up from a personal blog to a more public blog where readers submit photos of those rude people to that site. And the owners will post it up. It also grow from just posting photos to discussions of their personal experience. Also, they are not charging high on the advertisements which in turn attracted some local advertisers too (including my company). RudeSingaporeans ----------Tags: readers, social, media, digg,
