Florida's economy is tied to it's environment. Hello, tourism dollars from our beaches and coastlines. As a native, I'm deeply aware of how our choices impact our surroundings. Our climate is changing and we need to take steps to avoid bad habits and over consumption of resources. That's good business and I support businesses that have a longterm view. Glad my local power company also supports that.

re:" No, it doesn't prepetuate sexism, but it shows just how accepted sexism was in the sixties.  It is so interesting to watch this show and see the sexist attitudes that were considered acceptable less than 50 years ago."

Agreed. While there are men who have sexist views (as typical of that time), another poster DID say, Peggy is the lone female pioneer on that show. She's pre-feminist and it's FASCINATING to see how hard it was to overcome her workplace conditions being the sole female coworker there.

I think it has alot of teachable moments.

Jay's the nice guy interviewee. He's not bitter/sarcastic like Letterman is and Conan is an edgy guy who I'm not sure my mom or grandma would "get." I actually like the celeb/car driving parts -- unless you're a car buff who is obsessed NOBODY knows what Top Gear is. Keep it fresh, Leno and keep doing your thing!

I am not a big Leno fan, but I definitely respect his career longevity  and he has had plenty of shining moments over the years with lots of big guests.Still can't believe he had Kanye West as his first main guest!

Looking forward to seeing Conan at a DECENT hour.

I preferred Princeton over Kaplan because I felt they took more time to explain the concepts/understanding better. Really, you are better off getting the official GMAT practice book from the testmakers and slamming through them.

That's why I think it's important to be able to trace people's comments, history so you can prevent being spammed.

That's kind of what I'm talking about. I hate having to email friends back-and-forth because I know some friends who hate being put on email lists. Facebook is good because everyone can monitor and anyone (in my network) can jump in and add a point -- but the only way you can share vids, photos, etc. is through Facebook Notes. 

Problem with that is if I don't want to have a debate with friends but with people in other places or fields. I'm not going to send FB invites to everyone...

If I have a bone to pick w/ my friends, what's the best way to make my point, prove it, and share with them? All the political news that's been shared on Twitter, Facebook, etc. has been really helpful (or really scary to read).

You can READ the Kindle outside in the sun. I see folks taking them to the parks or out at lunch outside. I'm not so sure I'd want to take it to the beach -- that's asking for it to be stolen if you leave it on the blanket while you go play in the water. 

However, in an ideal world -- I'd like to have both! There's nothing like going to Barnes & Nobles or Borders and roaming around in the aisles and picking up books to browse -- you can't do that on Amazon.

Aside from pricing (which I can understand), I would also assume you've never held a Kindle, or used one before, because I guarantee you Amazon Kindles are very awesome. The digital ink its self is worth it. Everything comes out so clear you forget it's a digital surface.

My major problem is seeing authors split themselves into two camps -- those who advocate Kindle version of their bestsellers and those who refuse to cross the digital divide -- saying that Amazon has priced their works down at $9.99 flat. Not all authors are created equal which I can understand. Also, I'm a bit disappointed that Amazon (like iTunes was) is a closed market. They have their own proprietary format and won't open themselves to alliances with Google and their digitization project.

Looks-wise, I have to agree with redletterduke -- the Chevy Volt DOES look better then the Nissan Leaf. But I welcome the competition. Nissan says the Leaf covers a majority of commuters with a" 100 mile range [that] meets the needs of 70% of the world's motorists. In the case of U.S. consumers, Nissan says that fully 80% of drivers travel less than 100km per day (62 miles), making the Leaf a solid fit for America's motoring majority."

But at $40,000 will consumers nip for it? That is significantly more expensive then its hybrid competitors and we are in a recession -- I'd have to be driving that car for many many many years before I could pay it off and see the green savings from it. 

We don't want this to be like a mini Tesla car where only a few people buy it. However,  I do hope that the stiff competition from GM will drive even further development of electric car technology from other companies including Toyota and Honda.

Kia Soul loses because it wouldn't have a tremendous resale value. In high school, I rocked the Honda Civic and that car lasted me into my first job after college graduation. Took it on cross-country road trips, through hurricanes, and the Civic kept going. I'd recommend that as the best recession-friendly deal because it's sturdy and still sells well after you're ready to trade up.

OMFG - I love Ellen Degeneres as a CoverGirl spokesmodel. My friend just forwarded this to me on Twitter:Ellen's CoverGirl Switcheroo   She is so funny, I love how a reader asks her if she really wears CoverGirl age-defying makeup and Ellen actually answers the question (with her mom!) HA! 

She handles it with such a good sense of humor.
