    One of the things I love most about New York Times food columnist Mark Bittman (and there are many things I love about him) is how open he's been about his own weight and weight loss--particularly, the "vegan before 6pm" diet that he came up with for himself. *Now, New York*magazine says, he's...

If anyone is willing to do this for me would you be so kind as to post...

    How the Pen Evolved from a Humble Paintbrush Into a Precise Instrument of Writing Per

    Yeah, you can those blue Bic pens in bulk if you want—a boatload costs about as much as your morning coffee. And all pens are pretty much the same, right? Of course not. Cheapo pens are much more likely to leave ink smeared across your nose, bleeding through your pants pocket, or glopping up...

    What do you think of my writing on a scale of 1-10?

    The true meaning of cool to me is selfishness. Until you learn to respect and love yourself, you will never be able to love others.
