Really? That's interesting. How do you people know these things?? :)

I just finished "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson, a detailed snapshot of the lives of U.S. Ambassador William Dodd and his family in Hitler's Germany during the 30's. All in all a compelling tale. There is intrigue, deceit, brutality and madness aplenty. But the real story here is how...

In Hermann Goring's bedroom. Yuck.

Yeah that's a valid concern. But...since it hit 1400 people have been saying that. A lot of people who had the money but were scared to get on the train at 1400 are kicking themselves now. But ultimately your right Z, it is a bubble and eventually it will burst like every other bubble. It just...

So true Will, especially the psychological part... So then yesterday I read that Bank of NY Melon is actually going to start charging depositors (high dollar) to store there money in the bank. Yikes! What is the world coming to? :) It looks like there was a small correction since I posted...

I know, right?! Doesn't make sense given the comparative rarity and the similar volume of industrial usages for both metals. I guess there is just something about gold.

So, Gold briefly topped $1800 an ounce tonight and is now worth more than platinum. This might not be interesting to anybody else here. I buy and sell physical gold regularly and this latest run up has been nothing short of amazing. If Marvin Gaye were here with us he would probably ask...

I'm currently reading a piece of Non-Fiction called "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson. It is about the U.S. ambassador to Germany, William Dodd, and his family in berlin during the first years of Hitler's rule. Great so far... I am a library person for the most part. I love to re-read...

Suckerpunch :stars2: + 1/2 Rise of The Planet Of The Apes :stars4: Saw this last night. Liked it a lot. It was a nice mindless summer movie. CG was pretty nifty with a lot of agile apes flying through foliage, climbing trees, swinging from vines and all that monkey type stuff. The story was...

Lincoln Lawyer was much better than I anticipated. Really a pretty well made thriller. Agreed on the Warrior Way. It blew, but some of the visuals were pretty decent.

To Kill A Mockingbird - :stars3: The Lincoln Lawyer - :stars3: The Warrior Way - :stars2:

Well I actually tried to find some and ran across a lot of these results myself. Many of the ideas proposed in those links are certainly beneficial, no argument there. And I get what the guy is saying in the West Wing clip as well. No arguments that discovery in and of itself is rewarding in...

So the space shuttle/low earth orbit program is getting scrapped. Are there any opinions on this or the politics behind it? Do you think it is good? Bad? I was talking to my Dad the other day about this and at the beginning of the conversation we both seemed to think this was a bad thing, but...

Yeah, a laugh a minute kind of story was what I was looking for, as long as it was semi-inteligent. Oh well, it still sounds pretty entertaining so maybe I'll see if my library can order it. Thanks

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. - Jesus :) Nice review. I have been looking for something really funny to read and almost made a post asking for...

"Paid in Full" - Eric B and Rakim Back when hip-hop was hip-hop Thinkin of a master plan Cuz ain’t nuthin but sweat inside my hand So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint So I start my mission- leave my residence Thinkin how could I...

Kill The Irishman :stars1: It should be illegal to post a review on the cover of a DVD that says "The best mob movie since Goodfellas". I mean, I knew it wasn't but I still felt obligated to rent it. Wish I hadn't.

I felt fine before I read that article and watched the video. Somewhere along the way I realized that reading articles like that and watching those types of videos makes me feel very sad.... deep down inside... Just kidding. I think that is some crazy jacked-up nonsense.

That is sort of coincidental. In the "reading in prison" post I mentioned that I have a buddy who is locked up for a long time and that I send him books. He requested some Nietzsche recently, so I sent him Zarathustra and then just for fun I tossed in Ravi Zacharias' "Can Man Live Without God"...
