The FanHouse - Villanova Basketball (Free subscription) | 10 hours ago
by Michelle Smith Filed under: Oregon , Stanford STANFORD, Calif. -- What a difference a week makes for Oregon.

Uncle's Birthday
Thirteen Blackbirds Poetry (Free subscription) | yesterday
. He’s not the man he once was. Clarity, that aging cohort who sat cross-legged on his bed every night pen and pad in hand jotting down notes, dresses now in gray flannel and one slipper, wheezes when he speaks, coughs a rosy tinge. Strange companions, these sounds and smells, passing surreptitiously through the room he doesn’t occupy. Strange soul mates, confusion and chaos. Uncle tries...

Windows 7 Launch Did Not Grow PC Sales as Hoped
Maximum PC all RSS Feed (Free subscription) | yesterday
PC vendors were hoping that the launch of the much anticipated Windows 7 would result in a sales boost. The first reports from those vendors, however, are not painting a very rosy picture .

£3.50 per week - cheap at the price Back in 2006 we blogged how the well-heeled residents of leafy Primrose Hill in London had got so fed up with the Met's non-policing of their streets, that they'd clubbed together to hire private security patrols. For £1,000 pa per household, they were getting high visibility 24/7 patrols, and a "meet and greet" service if they came home late....

Being an openly self-obsessed female in today’s generation, I recently booked myself into a boudoir photography photoshoot with www.fyeoportraits.com. I came away with a rosy glow but at a loss as to what I could possibly do with the naked/semi naked photos of myself? “I have to do something with them” I told myself, “I [...]
