   I'm not a painter but I think my experience at learning to play the piano in my 50s is applicable. 30 years after college, where my musical career (clarinet) ended, I finally decided to try to learn to play the piano, having had a desi

   Aussie crocs are notoriously aggressive. The salt water croc, which infests these waters, can grow upwards of 20+ feet. It doesn't really matter how far from land these guys were nor how deep the water, it's pretty unlikely they&#

   Buffet used to be very averse to investing in technology companies because of that very reason. He has evidently educated himself since he is very heavy into both IBM and Apple, less so into Red Hat and Sirius. His investment into Oracle a

    I hope there is some scientific information that can be discerned from the coloring because, from an aesthetic perspectice, the images are garish like over-processed HDR images. I'll stick with black & white or grayscale pics.

    I was going to comment on exactly this article except that I couldn't find it quickly. It isn't weirdly relevant; it's totally relevant. It demonstrates that, with sufficient knowledge of the command line, one can write the m

    In trying to understand one-liners like this, I find that it's valuable to break it down into each step. Run the first step to see what it outputs. Then, pipe that into the second. Repeat for each step of the process. Google or use the

    Read this some years ago but it's still a fascinating story. Having visited DVNP several times, I can certainly attest to the desolation of the landscape but I was there in winter and early spring and I certainly wasn't in areas l

    Powells, in Portland, like The Tattered Cover, in Denver, are multimillion dollar, well established and well loved institutions. I've been to both and absolutely love them, but no newbie could ever attempt to duplicate their success.

    Back in the Before Times (Before Amazon), owning a bookstore was something I considered when I retire. Now that retirement is actually near, sadly, I have to let this go. There's simply no future in it anymore.

    Try sautéing your garlic with the onions once they've softened. Sixty seconds is all you need. It blooms the garlic aroma and cooks out the harshness that fresh garlic can have. I've not tried using cumin or paprika in my sauce. I

    A lot of comments about Theranos not being different from other start-ups and Holmes being like other CEOs. I disagree. Theranos was an out-and-out fraud from its beginnings. They knew their product did not work and was unlikely to ever wor

    I've always wanted a product that you could add to the swimming pool water that reacts to human urine by coloring the water immediately surrounding the pee-er. Say a neon orange or red. Over time, the colored water gets diluted and dis

    Although it's fictionalized, the TV show, Boardwalk Empire, does a pretty good depiction of what AC must of been like in the early 20th century. Of course, the place was completely mobbed up and one had to become enured to the occasion
