Selection, selection, selection. I pretty much exclusively wear Doc Martens. In any given shoe store there are at best 1-2 different styles of Docs. There is one outlet store in the US, in Portland, several thousand miles away from me. Zapp

No kidding. Flagged. A story about Michael Crichton dying is not open season on climate change conspiracy.

Timeline was the last book of Crichton's I read. It really turned me off. I had been a fan from a young age, but that was it. He ignored or twisted science, reason, and logic just for "cool" plot points, far more so than in any previous boo

There's way too much garbage and noise on the right hand side - those two columns are more than half as big as the content area. Try one column, and cut some of that out.

I have used Opera for years because of its speed compared to Firefox. However, every Opera 9.5X release has had at least one major, show-stopping problem for me. I'm pretty sick of it, so as soon as Chrome gets AdBlock, I'll seriously consi
