Three Reviews for the Price of One

Three Reviews for the Price of One: "Clooney was excellent and Bullock was ok, she did surprise me a bit. What the film does well is level of tension and emotion was palpable. Be warned there are a few sort of cheesy lines but forgivable. Well worth seeing in the cinema rather then at home. 9/10"

Three Reviews for the Price of One

Three Reviews for the Price of One: "I've just re-watched the first on DVD and, on reflection, it's actually fairly boring. This is much better though. All the things I was looking forward to seeing were in there, and I loved the 'extra' scenes scrounged from Silmarilion and Unfinished Tails, such as Gandalfs face-off with Sauron"

Falcon program takes off

Falcon program takes off: "He said the falconer was on the Island four days a week, flying his birds day and night.
“There haven’t been as many (seagulls) at night,” Hoefs said.
He said the seagulls don’t like the presence of the falcons, their natural predators, and eventually go away.
“It’s a long process,” Hoefs said.
According to Hoefs, one mainland resort had a huge seagull problem—as many as 6,000 or 7,000 seagulls were flocking to the resort. "

Serena's Guide to Divination and Fortune Telling. Are you psychic? Psychic skills.: "Perhaps you have already experienced the common feeling when somebody phones you after a long absence, you burst out spontaneously with the statement that: "I was just thinking about you". That is why actively hating somebody is the worst thing you can do because it makes sure that you are still bound to that person."

Bernhard Goetz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Goetz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Goetz fired an unlicensed revolver five times, seriously wounding all four. He was dubbed the "Subway Vigilante" by the New York press, and was both praised and vilified in the media and in public opinion.
He surrendered to police nine days later and was eventually charged with attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment, and several firearms offenses. A jury found him not guilty of all charges except an illegal firearms possession count, for which he served two-thirds of a one-year sentence."

How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller? : Jeffrey Krames

How many books do you have to sell to be a bestseller? : Jeffrey Krames: " The New York Times Non-Fiction printed list, it isn’t how many copies you have to sell, it is how many copies you have to sell within a given period of time—vs. all the other bestsellers—in this case a single week. Every so often a book seems to come from nowhere and leaps to the #1 spot on Amazon.com and The New York Times."

Work At Home Special Report!: "Honestly, it is easier than you would think, all I did was fill out a simple form to get front line access to the Home Profit System.

I fill forms and surf sites, I don't even have to sell anything and nobody has to buy anything. It's as easy as being on facebook.""

Senators Got 154-Page 'Fiscal Cliff' Bill 3 Minutes Before Voting on It | CNS News

Senators Got 154-Page 'Fiscal Cliff' Bill 3 Minutes Before Voting on It | CNS News: "The bill is 154-pages and includes several provisions that are unrelated to the fiscal cliff, including repealing a section of ObamaCare, extending the wind-energy tax credit, and a rum tax subsidy deal for Puerto Rican rum makers.

The bill avoids the fiscal cliff by making permanent the Bush tax cuts for individuals making less than $400,000 per year and couples making less than $450,000 and by putting off the automatic spending cuts (sequestration) from last year’s debt ceiling deal until March."


Publishers Note: I am not sure why this is such dramatic news, is the newsworthy item that this bill was a rush job? It probably had surface before and then had been revised, it's clearly a bi-partisan compromise of some kind!
