Many will be affectionate, and some will be impulsive. We could also be feeling very creative.

Are eggs fattening? And is it true that they're bad for your heart? Mark, London, EnglandHere's the skinny on eggs: A single large egg has 75 calories, 63% of which comes from the 5 grams of fat that each contains. So, does that mean they're "fattening?" That depends on how many you eat over a given period of time.The calories alone won't cause you exceed your daily limit, which for most adults

Most perfumes are complex combinations of natural materials, such as essential oils from plants, and synthetic products that increase the lasting power and heighten the smell. Alcohol is used as a liquid base for perfume, and the ratio of alcohol to scented perfume concentrates determines what the final concoction is labeled.From highest concentration to least, the different forms of perfume are:

Espresso coffee is a highly popuar choice of beverage for the large majority of us. This is partly because it contains caffeine which fires up our brain every morning. Many people also make coffee at home as one of the first things they do when they get up.Consumers into coffee will concur that a coffee espresso machine is a piece of equipment that will make a top quality cup of espresso.

Espresso and cappuccino coffee makersThese are steam-driven machines that produce very strong coffee. Espresso coffee is much richer and more concentrated than filter coffee and is the base for a cappuccino or latte. There are two basic types of machines, with pump machines the more expensive.Pressure machinesSimilar to a radiator in a car, water is boiled in a chamber and this builds pressure

The rules of proper etiquette and protocol have been around for years, but they are far more important in this day and age than ever before. Implementing proper etiquette and protocol skills into everyday life should be habit for everyone – including children. After all, a person who displays proper etiquette not only feels good about himself, he also makes those around him feel important and

I had my granddaughter, Caitlin, over for a fun day of baking cookies. First we had a few errands to run and then we would go home and bake. She was excited in the way a five-year-old is excited about making a mess and having something sweet to eat while Grandma cleaned up.The day did not go as planned. All the errands took twice as long as I had planned. Looking at a clock I realized there was

I'm working on a story, and I need an estimate of what the odds are that two spacefaring cultures would reach the same uninhabited planet within a few years of each other.So, first off, there are an estimated 100 billion stars in our galaxy, which I think I can take as average for the purposes of this thought experiment. There are, supposedly, about 100 billion galaxies in the universe. That

I've been listening to a radio station that advertises 'playing what we want', which is supposed to mean that they don't take requests, but which really means that they play 80's tunes in a strictly non-ironic1 way.I'd forgotten how early 80's bands all sang with non-ironic British accents if they were British and with ironic British accents if they weren't. If that makes sense.If it doesn't, you

I could not watch the film Sophie's Choice now. I probably could have (never did) before I had children, but afterward... no. Even now, just thinking about the plot of the movie, in which a woman must choose which of her two children lives and which one dies, is painful.I am reminded of this because I'm writing a short (about a thousand words) about a man who must make a choice in a near-future

Must write... must write...I have to stop reading Google News.I said some time ago (sorry, too lazy to look it up right now) that Iraq was a sort of Vietnam at 781. It has gone through the same general stages that the American presence in Vietnam did, just a whole lot faster. I think that the speed of the Iraq devolution is attributable to two major things:The information age. More people are

HouseApe 1.0 and I are off for our annual Christmas shopping trip. We head to Nanaimo for the day. It will involve a lot of wandering and constant reminders that we aren't looking for things that HouseApe 1.0 wants. There will also probably be a cinamon bun, much whining about going to Toys R' Us, a trip to the big bookstore, lunch somewhere mediocre, and a sleeping child on the way back.It also

Ok, this is a bit coarse. But then so am I.I'm thinking that Aqua Velva could probably make themselves a smart marketing move by changing one letter in the product name. Everybody knows that us piglike men likes us some of that.Or maybe they could market a line of women's product using that name? They'd double the size of their market, wouldn't they? Presumably men who wear Aqua Velva are married

In search of specifications and buried to the hipbones in network folders nested so deeply that you couldn't hit the far end of the URL with a high-powered rifle, I came across a folder called 'Team Fun'.My day brightened.

More on the whole WMD thing.If you think about it, it becomes transparent that the WMD thing was a red herring from the start. I've thought about this some more since I've been reading "Ignorant Armies: Sliding Into War in Iraq" by Gwynne Dyer.First, there are three generally acknowledged kinds of 'WMD': nuclear, biological, and chemical. This isn't a new designation; it goes back at least thirty

I wrote today's Glob offline, typing away on the laptop in the ice-cold Bunker. I put the floppy in the drive (yes, there is still an occasional dinosaur who uses a floppy drive), but didn't actually save the text file there.I'm discombobulated because the Serbian Roomate has brought his family up.

I was googling around this morning, looking for interviews with Dr. Gwynne Dyer. He said, before the Iraq invasion, that there were no WMD. He said that the world intelligence community were silent because nobody wanted to call the president of the United States a liar.At the time, he was promoting his book Ignorant Armies: Sliding into War in Iraq.

In the beginning, the web was generally thought of as a sort of library, where you could go to any shelf and pull a piece of paper down and look at it. In its simplest form, that is what it still is: type in a URL, get a document.However, that form of web is all but useless. If you don't know the URL for something, you have no way of getting to it short of trying random URLs hoping to stumble

I aquired a second-hand copy of Esquire's November 2002 issue. It has Britney Spears on the cover in homage to a fairly famous image of Angie Dickinson.Britney is wearing a white sweater, pulled down at the front, and white shoes.

In the fiction biz, you're supposed to avoid the 'infodump'. An 'infodump' is a chunk of text where you lay out background information that the reader needs in order to understand the world that you have created. Mostly, it refers to an inelegantly crafted method of doing this. A prologue, for example, or having one character tell another one."As you know, Tom, the cyborgs rampage on Tuesdays.
