Yesterday I went to Half Price books on Capitol Hill here in Seattle. I thought I would read the GRAPES OF WRATH
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Grapes_of_Wrath
Haven't read it in 29 years.
(Another coincidence...I was reading Grapes of Wrath when John Steinbeck Died(Dec 20, 1968))
Bought a copy.
I don't listen to Radio very much at all these days.
About an hour ago I was driving into Georgetown from West Seattle.
Scanning through radio stations I hear Woody Guthrie
http://www.woodyguthrie.org
on KEXP

And The song they were playing was
Tom Joad

According to the left. It's ok to let gays mock a sacrilegious event in the "Last Supper", it's ok to let the president of a nation that supports terrorists and fights our troops in a proxy war speak at an American University, but it is NOT ok to allow the Marines to film in San Francisco?!

My daughter was raised with affection and material things in early life. Always getting a 4pt gpa, she cut classes & dropped out of high school with only two credits needed to grad in her jr yr (got diploma at community college). She moved away as soon as she graduated to my relief. Since then, has had more than 10 jobs. Has moved in and out of relationships, bought a home (& lost a home). Has moved 9 times in three years, always a step down. Now she needs to move again. She is asking to move back home for several reasons. She now wants to go to college. She wants to quit her part time job, buy a horse (puhleeze), is in debt more than 10k and can't pass credit check & wants to file bankruptcy. I'm divorced & reunited with her father, and their relationship is strained. Oh.. also, she has 2dogs & cat, won't part with. She doesn't share my values. I was raised that we always help family, but maybe she needs to learn the hard lesson. I have to live with myself tho, and need advice

The law on "have-a-go heroes" is to be urgently reviewed to give honest members of the public more confidence to step in, Justice Secretary Jack Straw will announce today.

He will tell the Labour Party conference that the current law is not working as well as it should. Officials will be challenged to devise ways of reassuring people who are victims of crime or who witnessed an offence that they can use reasonable force to stop and detain criminals. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1285946,00.html.

Do you think thisplan will help, and if so, what would be the best way to implement it? Or do you see it as just the same old meaningless chat?

I WAS in the middle of writing a 30 page paper. When I decided I was done for the night. I thought it was autosaving- But I guess not? So when it asked me if I wanted to save, I think I might have clicked NO instead of YES! If there is any way to recover this file, I am in need! We get a thirty page paper every tuesday and it is due this friday! I know I know, save save save it next time. But right now I just need to know if there is anything I can do! Otherwise, I will pull an all nighter if I have no choice. Thank you for your help!

Is it just me or what--I found recently that the time it takes for an Amazon'com purchase to arrive has drastically increased. It used to be that it would take just a few days for the product to arrive. But I had to cancel 2 recent purchases since the estimated delivery time were 2-3 weeks. Do you have similar experience? Is it time to bolt amazon.com (maybe they care less now that their stock price has doubled in recent months too)?

I really love Irish names, and found a name that is very unusual (at least here in Canada) that I would love to name my daughter (preg now) - Siobhan. I was just wondering if anyone had this name, if they liked it, or whether or not you like it. I love how unusual it is. It's pronounced
shay-vahn

Our editors and advisor said we're on our own or we get a bad grade. how can i write an interesting lead that answers the who, what, when, where, why questions about the eight teachers? the lead can't be too long by the way. thanks.

... lots of intelligent people in SES (senior executive service) level of australian public service who would be glad to assist.
It's not that appropriate management theories don't exist, it's that the management theories themselves don't get a proper run.

I can only think there must be cabals of people everyone else is scared shitless of, like a mafia, who terrorise the workplace.

I had some delicious soup at restaurant called Chicken Quesadilla soup. It had tomato (but some sort of cream or milk in it since it looked like cream of tomato soup) chicken, corn, black beans, onions and peppers and chili powder in it and was served with crushed tortilla chips. Anybody have any good recipes?

I'm sure some of you have noticed but it never comes up, at least I haven't heard, but don't you people think that David Garrison, the guy who played Steve Rhoades in Married With Children, resembles Steve Carrell, a.k.a., "The 40 Year Old Virgin"?, I think so too, well David Garrison is like 10 years older than Steve Carrell, but Steve Carrell right now looks like David Garrison when he was younger in Married With Children, lol. This just popped into my mind when I was watching Married With Children the other day, so do you think both of these actors look a lot a like?

Bill O'Reilly took Al Sharpton to a restaurant named Sylvia's and it is black owned. This is what he said about it:

I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship," he told listeners. "It was the same, and that's really what this society's all about now here in the U.S.A. There's no difference."

"there wasn't any kind of craziness at all". "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M.F.-er, I want more iced tea.' "

"It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense that people were sitting there and they were ordering and just having fun,"
