It has come! Barack Obama is now the 44th President of the United States, and let the change begin. I’d like to start with the sorry state of reporting in the United States. Or perhaps it’s more the sorry state of people’s interest? I’m not sure, but the two are certainly linked. I love fashion,… Read More More than a Fashionable Woman…
While as a whole, humanity has evolved in amazing ways – we went to the moon! we can see the cellular structure of the human body! we can know where anyone in the world is if we wanted to! – things aren’t going as well as they can these days. As the despair in the… Read More Devon Gundry – “Armed” on Vimeo
I haven’t had the pleasure of spending the morning with a television set on, watching the inauguration of Obama, but I do have access to the Internet and, in moments of relative quiet, am spending some time surfing the Net, looking at pictures of the event and reading about people’s reaction. And if my boss… Read More Be the Change to usher in an Era of Responsibility

I have had the opportunity recently of talking to some Muslim and Christian youth who have recently left Iran, and it shocked me to learn that things were… Read More Review: Sara Bavar’s Generation Tehran
Yes, it’s true, after a week off I am back to blogging! And it feels great. I do hope you missed me as I much :). Now the fact that I took a week off from blogging doesn’t mean it wasn’t on my mind most of the time. Quite the contrary – I have taken… Read More She’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
I have a serious case of blogger’s block. I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I havve been staring at my screen for quite some time now (I refuse to divulge the actual amount of time for fear of it being held against me in the future), without coming up with anything I could write… Read More Of Sickness & Maladies, Serious or Otherwise
Remember the insanity that is (was?) Twilight? The release of the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, the release of the first movie in theaters, the lines of screaming girls, the requests to Robert Pattinson to be bitten (he’s going to need therapy if people don’t let go of that one)… It all seems to 2008, doesn’t… Read More Pushing the boundaries: Going beyond the current definition of Edward Cullen-obsession
Did you know that many diseases have been nearly eradicated in industrialised countries but are still endemic in developing countries?
