Many of you have heard my story of the 38-year-old saga from the spring of 1970 until the spring of 2008 when MRS. LIEUTENANT: A SHARON GOLD NOVEL was published. And if you know the saga, you also know that a main goal of my persistence in getting this story published was because I wanted to preserve a very specific slice of women’s social history.And while the novel’s characters are a mash-u

Old marketing and sales rules are changing. Your opinion matters and your voice as a consumer is heard better than ever. Imagine this example.

This was emailed to me and I would like to shared this with you guys, because it had me remember my mother-in-law, she was a loving and caring woman.

She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you too, and

I'm currently a bit fixated with Sarah Palin. Not in any morally dubious way. Rather that she is seen as espousing "values".

She is "pro-gun", which means she is against gun co

Let’s just admit it, Sarah Palin doesn’t have much experience in government, at any level.  Trying to argue that her scant experience is more substantive than Barack Obama’s is a non-starter and a loser of an argument for the GOP.  Why?  Because with a brilliant speech last night, Sarah Palin changed this election.

I received a few emails regarding my discussion of trading edges. It's safe to say that just about every trader has several edges, which is to say they have strategies with positive expectations. Too much time is spent on this particular aspect of trading, with much less regard for proper money management. The "secret" to trading lies in controlling risk, not in continually finding a better

I've long abandoned any pretense of supporting Obama. But that doesn't mean I still don't think he's a less-bad choice than McCain. As much as Obama has increasingly come to parrot the foreign policy establishment consensus that has held sway in Washington for, well, a really long time, Obama's consensus view is far less dangerous than the reflexive aggression characterized by the last eight yea

Usher's latest album, Here I Stand, was something of a flop, despite him going to every show on the cable dial to promote it. (It's sold a relatively paltry 948,000 copies in 10 weeks, and had no top-10 singles after the No. 1 hit "Love In This Club.") So he's fired his manager Benny Medina and lured his mom, Jonnetta Patton, away from her gig as a "full-time grandmother" and back to the role of h

Food is elemental to all living creatures. Eat, is the first thing we seek to do after we take our first breath of earthly air. And eat we shall do, on all the days of our lives thereafter. To eat, is to have a relationship with our planet, the source of our food. It is also to have a relationship with each other, when we cook for each other and eat together. The food we eat and how we eat it,
