| 20 tips for being frugal and fabulous
Buying all the best brands? Not so frugal. Picking through your neighbor's trash? Not so fabulous. With the country's economic health on the line, how can you save money without suffering style? Here are some ideas to live the fabulous life while still being frugal: 1. Do your own darn toenails The only people who might look at your feet closely enough to know the difference between a DIY pedicure and a fancy spa treatment won't judge you for it anyway, suggests Megan O. Steintrager, 35, an editor in New York. Use pale colors; a bright red coat might show if it's out of the lines. And besides, sandal season is months away. 2. Eco-shredding New York writer Lexi Dwyer, 31, saves shreddings from her paper shredder to use as packaging for fragile gifts.
Election 2008
They are the cowboy variety who don't like government telling them what to do with their land or their guns or their money. It's the home state of Dick Cheney and, save for a small liberal pocket in Jackson Hole, he's a statewide hero. So it's even more surprising to think that some tried-and-true Wyoming Republicans are considering voting for Democrats this year. It gets down to land -- apparently some ranchers haven't been to pleased about how big energy companies have been digging up their acreage in search of natural resources to help meet soaring demand. An editorial cartoonist from the Seattle PI drew up this cartoon that sums up this new political tension in Wyoming. Thought I'd pass it along for your viewing pleasure.

Bingle snapper defends shots
The merest attention given to any blog is enough to make a thinking man start shaking his head in disbelief, as the vast majority of members of our society simply will form the worst view of anything. The shot that I have seen was glorious and all should be justifiably pleased with the result. As far as the opinions of the great unwashed are concerned, don't listen to them. They are ignorant and therefore it is a waste of time. Posted by: Anonymous of course 9:55am today Comment 1 of 2 .
The Richardson File: The Santa Fe New Mexican follows the governor's ...
Unless the Legislature and Gov. Bill Richardson agree to change state law, New Mexicans may never have a chance to vote in next year’s primary election for some of the Democrats and Republicans running for Congress or statewide offices. That’s because of a law that took effect this year that potentially restricts ballot access for candidates. As it stands now, Democratic and GOP candidates for the U.S. Senate, U.S. House and a state Supreme Court position can earn a place on the June primary ballot only if they receive at least 20 percent of the votes of delegates at their party’s preprimary nominating convention. In the past, candidates who fell short of that 20 percent threshold — as well as those who skipped the preprimary conventions — still could get on the ballot by submitting additional petitions with signatures of registered voters to the secretary of state.
DOR BioPharma Reports Achievement Of Two-Year Stability Milestone For ...
DOR BioPharma, Inc. (OTCBB: DORB) announced that it has successfully achieved a two-year milestone in the long-term stability program of the key ingredient of RiVax™, a recombinant subunit vaccine against ricin toxin. RiVax™ is intended to protect against exposure to ricin toxin that might result from the purposeful release of ricin in an aerosolized form, or as a poisonous contaminant in food or water.
The results of the two-year analysis undertaken as part of the formal stability program demonstrate that the immunogen component of RiVax™, a recombinant derivative of the ricin A chain, is stable under storage conditions for at least two years without loss of its natural configuration or the appearance of any detectable degradation products. A vaccine is considered by many to be the best way to prospectively protect populations at risk of exposure against ricin toxin.
