Halal Meat

One of my Bond Grrls is in Morocco, and recently sent me information on Halal Meat.  It sounds very similar to Kosher butchering (the animal is humanely treated, etc.) – but now another friend who has a blog that I love (hey, it’s pictures… say no more) did a post on Halal Meat, and included […]


Devil May Care – James Bond Novel

I’m behind on my reading… What else is new. I came across this article in MediaBistro.com a while back on the new James Bond novel and how it may “save book publishing” — thought you might like to give it a read.  OK OK – the best part is actually the 9 minute clip of the […]

Poledancing Parlance

This week’s San Francisco S Factor Newsletter had a great article by Sheila Kelley (the Founder) called Meanderings. I will link it here, but they “go away” every week, so I will also cut and paste the bit I’m talking about right here: I’m at this global think tank. I have no idea why they […]
