Hobbies & Games > Yarn & Needle Crafts Tips for learning how to knit: 1 of 13
I learned to knit from a dime store pamphlet almost 40 years ago. Basic knitting is very easy, much easier than it looks. If you have no one to show you, buy a skein of yarn and some needles (get a few different sizes). The yarn usually has a little place on the label that tells you what size needle is best for the average kn... More..
Health & Fitness > Aging & Longevity How to prevent insomnia in seniors: 1 of 11
Insomnia can be caused because a person slowly gets off their bodies own internal clock and gets their sleeping pattern turned around.

Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Don Imus: Why he was fired: 2 of 18
Don Imus was fired because people finally realize that we, as a country, have to start somewhere and say enough is enough. This is not about 'free speech', it's about right and wrong, respect and human decency.

THE BUS RIDE He saw her when she got on the bus. He was sitting towards the back nursing a too hot cup of coffee from the Dunkin Donuts on Lefferts Boulevard.

Sports & Recreation > Basketball Coaching & Skills How to improve your basketball jump shots: 2 of 14
If you want to improve your jump shot, have someone stand back and film you shooting in your normal style. Check your posture and the arc of the ball. If the ball's arc is too flat, you can't hit the basket. Balls will bounce off the back of the rim or backboard. Posture is important because you'll get the most control on lon... More..

After the last 2 presidential elections with the 'alleged' voter fraud in several states the Democrats probably would have won, like Florida where massive amounts of votes were 'allegedly' thrown out and voters were 'allegedly' intimidated by cops, people lost a lot of faith in the voting system of this country.We are the onl...

Sciences > Sociology How suburbs changed the United States: 3 of 17
Before suburbs, people were either city or country dwellers. There were no real in-betweeners. Country life, with its slower pace and relaxed attitudes, was the true American dream. Early on, city life was equated with hustle and bustle, a faster lifestyle fit only for vacations. It came to be more associated with wealth, edu... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Is America ready for a black president?: 13 of 66
The truth, the sad, sorry, simple truth is NO. Most of the people in the United States are prejudiced to some degree, no matter how hard they try not to be or even if they believe they are not. If they weren't, we wouldn't be asking this question in 2007, pointing out that Obama is Black, pointing out that there has been no n... More..

Selecting a shelter dog? Thank you. The most important things to consider are: 1)Are you ready for the long term commitment any puppy takes, needs and deserves? 2)Do you know what breed/type (because mutts make the best pets) dog you want? You need to take into consideration your home, space, hours you'll be home, if you have... More..
