| Freebie Fridays Help You Save Cash
The song "When I dream of Michelangelo" is sweet, but the flip side "1492" is best saved for after you've had a couple cups of free coffee. See you next Friday! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Friday, January 18, 2008 This is a Freebie Friday that won't cost you money, but it could cost you some serious time. I'm talking about an internet golf game so new, it's only in beta right now. The people behind the website have partnered with Kiawah Island Golf Resort, taken tons of professional photos and used them to make a golf game you can play on the internet. The makers of the game say it's the most authentic online golf game out there. Since it's the only online golf game I've ever played, I can't speak to that, but I recently read a column about this game in fortune magazine.
Prime cutlets: Quick-cooking Wiener Schnitzel saves the day
There is nothing like a good pork cutlet, pounded into an escalope a scant quarter-inch thick, breaded and pan-fried to a crispy brown, so big its edges reach beyond the rim of a large dinner plate. All it needs then is a good squeeze of lemon. I was reminded of this not long ago on a trip to Germany. We had just gotten off a long flight from San Francisco to Munich and had taken a cab to a hotel in a residential suburb near where we were to pick up our leased car the next morning. There was nary a restaurant or market in sight. I felt desperate because I am never hungrier than when I finally escape the confines of a plane, make my way through baggage claim and customs, and burst into the open air. After we checked in, my husband and I dredged up long-unused German and asked the young man at the front desk where we might find a restaurant for abendessen, or dinner.
What everyone really wants: an attractive mate
I have tried to argue that it is not that conservative men avoid capable females, but the other way round because mating selection is more a female process than male. I suggested that "capable" females are less interested in procreation while conservative men are.
Female fertility may peak at 30. Women have children as late as 50s, however, children of women 18-25 are at evolutionary advantage relative to women under 18 and over 25 (all other things equal).
Bible belt may have a higher divorce rate. But the basic condition of divorce is marriage. Non conservatives are simply not getting married, so divorce is not their statistic.

Agreed that as men become older, they tend towards conservatism. But there are many young conservatives around everywhere who are primarily interested in family, god, and country.

Picking the best values from southern France
Chateau de Nages 2005 Réserve White ($14) and Chateau de Nages 2004 Réserve Red ($14): These lovely wines, from the Costières de Nîmes appellation, offer generous, fresh and juicy flavors. The white is grenache blanc and roussanne; the red, grenache and syrah. Bright and fresh citrus flavors of lemon, lime and grapefruit, with some of the racy acidity of sauvignon blanc, characterize the white. Tight red fruits — cranberry, pomegranate, sour plum — and whiffs of smoked meat are set against nuances of herb, smoke and pepper in the red. (Distributed by First Crush.) .
Iran won't back down on nuclear crisis
The West fears that Iran is using its nuclear drive to try to build atomic weapons, a charge Tehran has consistently denied, saying it is aimed at generating electricity. Uranium enrichment is a process which makes nuclear fuel but can also be diverted to produce the fissile core of atomic bombs. The Security Council on Monday held informal discussions on a third sanctions resolution, agreed by five veto-wielding permanent members - Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States - plus Germany. The proposed new measures include an outright travel ban by officials involved in Tehran's nuclear and missile programs and inspections of shipments to and from Iran if there are suspicions of prohibited goods.

2007 No. 1: City sets homicide record : With nine killings, officials ...
When Lamar Fleming was shot, she was preparing to have his child. But that night in March changed everything. Mr. Fleming stepped out to get a cigarette and was gunned down near their home. "After that happened, I wasn't eating or nothing," she recalled this month. At the time of the murder, she was about nine weeks pregnant. But days after her husband's death, she had a miscarriage. She had to deliver the unborn baby the day after his funeral, she said. It was almost a relief. "I didn't want to deal with another child, and he was gone," she said. Ms. Smith has five children, three of whom are Mr. Fleming's offspring. They're all between the ages of 1 and 9. Since her husband's death, she's had to go through a lot on her own - their daughter's kindergarten graduation, his birthday and holidays.
