The Measure of America project by the Social Science Research Council, came up with some interesting conclusions about how the quality of life is affected by things going on around us.

What they say vs what they mean.

The actual people, and the actors who portrayed them, compared.

#s 1, 3, 9, 10, and 12. Especially 12. And, maybe, 21.

Heh. I didn't even look at the graphic. Just the numbers.

All I can say is that, for me, a sale (medical equipment etc.) is made on either the first or second contact. I evaluate the product and decide. After that, contacts are utterly unwelcome.

Come to think of it, most approaches fit that paradigm.

Doesn't have a runway that the Pentagon will admit to, anyway...

24 Last Photos of People Who Couldn't Ever Be [Photographed] Again

Some Dwellars may find some of these photos to be, not in the best of taste, and/or a tad gruesome (no blood and guts, no dead bodies, I don't think).

Squeamier Dwellars, be warned.

Worth the click.

Lenin is a dead ringer for Manson.

Maybe this belongs in Current events, but here's a surprisingly good article in GQ about the North Pond Hermit, who was just released from jail.

A long read, which is rare these days.

Here he is at his capture.

Damn. That was a good read. Shockingly, I saw a few (too many for comfort, actually) similarities between Mr. Knight and myself. I would love to get in this man's head and have a nice long look around. I like the guy.

Solitude did increase my perception. But here's the tricky thing—when I applied my increased perception to myself, I lost my identity. With no audience, no one to perform for, I was just there. There was no need to define myself; I became irrelevant. The moon was the minute hand, the seasons the hour hand. I didn't even have a name. I never felt lonely. To put it romantically: I was completely free.

Thanks for posting that, Glatt.

If you just need to add a few pennies to make up the amount to get free shipping on Amazon, use this search. Not sure if there's a way to change countries, but I'm sure there must be similar links around.
