From Bangkok to Bogotá, a hilarious behind-the-brochures tour of picture-perfect locales, dangerous destinations, and overrated hellholes from a guy who knows the truth about travel

Travel writer, editor, and photographer Chuck Thompson has spent more than a decade traipsing through thirty-five (and counting) countries across the globe, and he’s had enough. Enough of the half-truths demanded by magazine editors, enough of the endlessly recycled clichés regarded as good travel writing, and enough of the ugly secrets fiercely guarded by the travel industry. But mostly, he’s had enough of returning home from assignments and leaving the most interesting stories and the most provocative insights on the editing-room floor. From getting swindled in Thailand to running afoul of customs inspectors in Belarus, from defusing hostile Swedish rockers backstage in Germany to a closed-door meeting with travel execs telling him why he’s about to be fired once again, Thompson’s no-holds-barred style is refreshing, invigorating, and all those other adjectives travel writers use to describe spa vacations where the main attraction is a daily colonic.

Smile When You’re Lying takes readers on an irresistible series of adventures in Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and beyond; details the effects of globalization on the casual traveler and ponders the future of travel as we know it; and offers up a treasure trove of travel-industry secrets collected throughout a decidedly speckled career.

Photos from the Poetry Out Loud Minnesota state finals, 8 March 2010. I didn't take any photos during the actual recitations, but I took a few before it began and a bunch during the awards ceremony. The fact that Thomas came 3rd probably had something to do with that :-).

Big thanks to Dave Johnson, drama coach at Morris Area High School, for all his help and support. Also big thanks to Athena Kildegaard and Ray Schultz for invaluable advice and ideas as Thomas prepared for this year's event!

Tish Jones was an excellent MC at this year's event - thanks!

Poetry Out Loud Minnesota Finals at the FItzgerald Theater. Desdemona was the MC, and Robert Bly (Minnesota Poet Laureate) read several of his poems at the end. Two of the 18 competitors were from Morris and both made it to the last round of 6; Alex McIntosh placed 4th and Thomas McPhee placed 6th.

Congratulations to Alex and Thomas, and to all the kids that participated in this really cool event!

Basic Concepts in Biology (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac) (Brooks/Cole Biology Series)





This best-selling text?a compilation of 32 chapters drawn from Cecie Starr's BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, Fifth Edition?is designed to help students understand biology by engaging them in learning in every way possible. The book's extensive array of multimedia resources enriches the book's hallmark features: unique visuals on every page, applications in every chapter that show how biology is inextricably linked to everyday life, and activities and resources throughout the book that encourage critical thinking and spark curiosity in biological investigation. CD-ROM and segments on the FREE accompanying interactive CD-ROM, as well as CNN Today Videos, Web links, and reading from the InfoTrac College Edition library are all integrated with the text to support, illuminate, and reinforce the text. Cecie Starr's visuals work hand in hand with her clear writing. Each basic concept appears as a one- or two-page concept spread. This format helps student focus on information in manageable easy-to-understand segments. Main points are laid out clearly, summarized, and reinforced by visuals. The carefully written transitions between Concept Spreads help students grasp how each concept fits into the whole story. In the process, students develop an understanding of biology's amazing diversity and underlying unity. BASIC CONCEPTS IN BIOLOGY includes all chapters from the longer text EXCEPT: Plant Tissues; Plant Nutrition and Transport; Plant Reproduction and Development; Tissues, Organ Systems and Homeostasis; Integration and Control: Nervous Systems; Sensory Reception; Endocrine Control; Protection, Support, and Movement; Circulation; Immunity, Respiration; Digestion and Human Nutrition; and The Internal Environment.

Question by HopeIsTheThingWithFeathers: How does one start investing in stocks, such as Apple/Google?

I am only 19 and would like to start investing in some stocks. I don't know how to do this. But I am not much of a gambler, so I would like to invest under 200. I saw I could buy Apple stock for 119, but I don't trust the website. Any suggestions or comments???

You should read and watch a few stocks for a few years, then invest once you have the funds to loose...

Question by 1776: How many of you (especially the Obama supporters) have read Atlas Shrugged?

If you haven't, now is the time. You can post all the smart-@$$ remarks you want to (and I know the Obama supporters will be the worst to do this) but strongly consider reading this book. We are rapidly moving towards this scenario. Good luck, America. We need it now more than ever.
