This is some excellent information. I've never given much thought as to the right time of year to remove invasive plants. I don't have many, but some mint I planted last year has been going nuts growing all over my small backyard garden. I am ...

Beautiful Art Mugs: Coffee Mugs with Reproductions of Artworks by Van Gogh, Monet, Degas
Yes, they're nice, aren't they? I'm still not sure it's 100% OK to make them (I'm thinking of copyright issues), but from what I've read, the designers should be fine.

Review of the Disease Free Book from Reader's Digest
I really like the idea of focusing on prevention when it comes to chronic diseases. I see a lot of emphasis (and dollars being spent) on late-stage treatments, many of which don't work or which produce nasty side effects. Some people close to ...

Third Parties in the U.S
I think I agree mostly...I think that the political parties and labels make it easy for people to vote along party lines, without actually looking at the candidates themselves. I have mixed feelings though. I like the idea of people being able ...

Authentic Chinese Food vs. Americanized Chinese Food
Thanks, Mira! I unfortunately don't have a huge amount of cooking Chinese food, although my girlfriend and I have been getting into it a little bit lately. One of our friends has a Szechuan cookbook and perhaps I could borrow that and ...

Authentic Chinese Food vs. Americanized Chinese Food
I remember thinking about that Abby, long before I actually went to an authentic restaurant. I would read and hear people saying things like: "What people eat in China is actually really different from Chinese food in America." I think the big ...

Become An Online Tutor
I was a tutor for many years and considered online work but one must realize that most internet companies now have bandwidth restrictions.

The Flâneur - Symbol of Modernity in 19th Century Paris
Hello WordChazer - That’s such an interesting concept about Virginia Woolfe. Yes, thinking about it, her descriptions are often very cinematic, as though her eyes were sweeping across an urban landscape. Its the flow of someone observing, ...

Annual Performance Appraisals
For the first time in a long while, in my present job I am having monthly meetings with my appraiser, (who is not my line manager, strangely enough) which are more like a chance for her to check that I'm still bearing up under the strain and to ...

The Flâneur - Symbol of Modernity in 19th Century Paris
I had a Masters student client who wondered whether the flaneur was an influence on Saul Bellow's characters. He also wrote in depth about Virginia Woolfe and thought that she was the closest thing to a female flaneur possible in her ...

The Disappearance of Richey Manic 20th Anniversary
My theory is that this article became ungainly long, so I'm half way through a follow up. Not a part two per se, but another facet of the diamond. I don't think he's dead, though I own that there are flaws in my reasoning. I've just been ...
