If you own any compost bin, I would love to know how you like and dislikes. How does it stand up for winter? How long does it take compose with the particular compost you own?
If you know something about compost bin, I would love to hear from you, too!

I didn't see the debate, but heard much about few were taking too much of air time. Chris Dodd's site had this clock and I thought it was interesting to see the visual presentation on length of time each candidates talked.

This was on Here and Now this afternoon through WBUR. I thought I should share it with you. http://www.here-now.org/shows/2007/11/20071127.asp
Two researchers make the case against the idea of a "glass ceiling," a metaphor for a monolithic obstacle facing women as they climb the corporate ladder. Alice Eagly and Linda Carli write that women face a labyrinth instead. Did you know that marriage and parenthood are associated with higher wages for a man, but not for a woman worker? And what happens when a woman executive is assertive? Research shows it can reduce her chances for getting a job or advancing in her career.

Currently, Leopard is a bit confused. Here is my findings.
Meeting Maker doesn't know when move the date through "schedule". It complains that it is past dates and can't schedule a meeting on past dates, even though I am scheduling for year 2008. Well, go check your email and go back to the same screen. Now it'll say "1990". Where did that come from?
Meeting Maker FORGETs the agenda when other tabs are selected and go back to details. Once you have type your agenda in and clicks on tab either schedule or options, do not go back to details. This will cause it to loose agenda...
