Funny Observation - At 6′1, Dad Makes his Cabinet look short!
Fun fact: if elected, John McCain, at 5'7", would have been the shortest president to hold office in over one hundred years (President William McKinley stood at the same height in 1897). But we all know how that turned out. And so the struggle for petite empowerment continues: at Monday morning's press conference, four of Barack Obama's six cabinet picks could barely clear the microphone. Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Janet Napolitano, and Robert Gates certainly have their work cut out for them i

Melanie & Steve Tem: THE TYRANNY OF THE ORIGINAL IDEA
Steve:Something I hear a lot from writers who don’t write very much is “I want to write more, but I have a hard time coming up with good enough (or ‘great enough’ or ‘original enough’) ideas.”  What ensues is often that stereotypical discussion on “How do you get your ideas?”  For myself, I’ve never thought that was a dumb question.  It’s just a hard question to answer. Melanie:For me, it’s baffling.  There aren’t enough hours in the day or days in my life to write about all the ideas th

Orlando Bloom is a member of Soka Gakkai
That’s just one of the facts about power Japanese religious group Soka Gakkai that I found in a special Q&A feature in today’s Japan Times. I’ve seen unconfirmed allegations in the past that the Japan Times may be under the influence of Soka Gakkai, but today’s article is pretty open about some of criticism facing the religious organization.One interesting piece of information from the article is that their official newspaper beats out Mainichi in overall subscription numbers:With its c

A Number of Mathematical Thoughts
As we have discussed this theme (well, you all mostly discussed...I just panicked quietly in the background) and then revealed our results, I was struck at how frequently people have talked about being bad at math, or phobic about it, or not good with numbers, and the like. It has been a very pervasive topic during the period for this theme. Maybe that's partly natural, because we're obviously all so visual and put such a priority on creativity in our lives. But this process, and everyone's comm

Purry Logic a Cat Lover’s Book Review
Yes, it is true…dogs have owners and cats have staff. Dogs are taken for walks by their owners, play fetch and usually come when they are called. Cats…well, I can tell you from experience that they don’t like leases and do not like to go on walks (it’s a long story and I’ll share it sometime soon). Cats also do not fetch - it is quite beneath them to act in such a way and the only time my cat, Duchess, comes when I call is because she feels like getting up to stretch. Still, I adore the little
