Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Exploring the claims of the Anglo-Catholic branch of the Episcopal Church: 2 of 2
I find the most interesting claim of the Anglican/Episcopal Church, is that they are both Catholic and Protestant, which is true.

Style & Beauty > Fashion Trends & Styles How to dress to impress women: 2 of 2
Women respond to the strangest things. They'll sit there and swear that what they want is someone who will be sensitive and caring, kind and gentle, in tune with their feelings, needs, and sensitivities.

Sports & Recreation > Sports & Recreation (Other) The greatest upsets in Kentucky Derby history: 2 of 2
I was just a kid in the sixties, but I still remember when Bobby Ussery's horse beat out Willy Shoemaker on Damascus. Willy Shoemaker was always a crowd favorite, and whatever horse he rode was always a favorite, but the world seemed pretty sure that Damascus was going to win that year. We sat in front of the black and white... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Europe How has the European Union (EU) affected the NATO alliance?: 2 of 2
NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has been weakened by several factors. The dismantling of the U.S.S.R., which was the primary reason for the organization in its origin, for protection from the threat of the huge and powerful neighbor, makes it redundant and archaic. The forming of the European Union has made Europe ... More..

Boating insurance may be a waste of money if your boat doesn't sink. That's about all the insurance will cover. Boat insurance is expensive for two reasons, boats sink, and people sink boats, for the insurance.

Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Europe Decoding the "flexicurity" concept used in the EU: 2 of 2
Flexicurity is when the government, in response to both labor and business, try to provide both business flexibility and financial security for workers. In the Scandinavian nations, it is being tried to varying degrees of success in different ways. The businesses have the right to let the laborers go as they need to, in orde... More..

Scheduling shows, seminars, and walking around, networking are all about time management, but whatever you do, don't ever let me catch you sitting in the booth. Got it? Why? I'll tell you why.

Home & Garden > Weeds & Pests Controlling crabgrass: 2 of 2
I don't know if I have crabgrass or winter grass or what, but I fight it constantly. The reason I take it out, is it spikes up and makes a beautiful lawn look unkempt. It is patchy, and grows in the winter, staying green and comes back in the same places every year. I dig it out, and it still comes back. I have started using... More..
