- It Boils Down To This: Cheap Wine Works Fine
- At least if you're cooking with it: "It wasn't that the finished dishes were identical -- in fact, they did have surprisingly distinct flavors -- but the wonderful wines and the awful ones produced equally tasty food, especially if the wine was cooked for more than a few minutes."
- What Jesus Might Say Is Debated in Survey of Christian Politics

- Study: More Women Opting Out of Corporate Rat Race
- "So what’s been known for a long time to be true – that women, far more than men, tend to choose free time and flexibility over money and advancement – continues to be true. Moreover, it holds not only for women generally but as well for women who are both well-educated and fully inculcated with the “work first” ethos taught by feminists for decades. That is, the appeal of family takes precedence even for those women we might have thought would be the most resistant to it." Also noted are the studies findings that "while 62% of women with children say they would take more free time over more money, a larger number of single women — 68% — say they would."
- So You Think You Can Be a Morning Person?
- "Sleep experts say that with a little discipline (well, actually, a lot of discipline), most people can reset their circadian clocks. But it’s not as simple as forcing yourself to go to bed earlier (you can’t make a wide-awake brain sleep). It requires inducing a sort of jet lag without leaving your time zone. And sticking it out until your body clock resets itself. And then not resetting it again." ... and good luck with that.
