The 48 Laws of Power
I’m going to suggest a book to everyone, “The 48 Laws of Power” by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers. “The 48 Laws of Power” is essentially “The Prince” by Nicolò Machiavelli rewritten into modern day language. If you’ve ever tried to read “The Prince”, it can get a little dry. “The 48 Laws of Power” gives forty-eight methods that have been successfully used throughout history by power brokers. The book gives some amusing examples that I think you will recognize and is well worth the $20.

Hey TOM why dont you just start a new thread...How can I screw up Gayle's Blog?
Oh boy am I feeling the love now! Can I get a amen?
I wonder if the Fillmore Gazette gets as much grief with their requirements for the “Letters to the Editor”?
“Letters containing defamation, slander, profanity, or unverifiable facts WILL BE REJECTED”
AC,
In all honesty, I truly hope that you are not getting worked up as much as your comments appear. It can't be healthy for you.
Power trips are for little men with small minds.The least you can do is start a thread for just your hate mail.Dont you want to know how your doing so far?
Amen! Tom. Thanks for rejecting the stupid comments. Let them go hang out with "Renee".
This isn't the Fillmore Gazette. There is no way you can confuse a first amendment free speech PUBLICATION to what you have created here.
I will not comment on any thread for now on Tom.I have always enjoyed GAYLE'S blog.You have not earned the respect needed to change anything.You should not just blow in and flex your mussels its just arrogant.Maybe an introduction would have been the first step.Just a thought.

I have an excellent recipe for mussels by the way. They need to be fresh of course.
1 cup white rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup finely chopped leeks or onions
2 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white wine
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (drained)
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
2 lbs mussels, beards removed
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
Combine the rice with equal amounts water and cook according to directions on package set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks or onions and cook until tender (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and fennel seeds and continue cooking for another minute. Add the wine and cook over high heat until about half has been absorbed. Stir in tomatoes, salt and red pepper.
Bring the tomato mixture to a boil. Add the mussels, cover and steam over high heat, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels open, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat slightly, push the mussels aside and submerge shrimp in the liquid. Cook until the shrimp are uniformly cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste.
To serve transfer the rice with a slotted spoon among four large, shallow, individual soup bowls. Ladle the mussels (discard ANY unopened ones, shrimp and broth on top. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
Oh, did you mean "muscles"?

So what you're saying is, common courtesy be damned?
So what are YOU saying,someone slips up on spelling so its ridicule them so Tommy gets the last laugh?
Wow such seething hate and anger, why? Is reading and education frowned upon in this town?
This is the bottom line, If you had a comment that didn't a include personal insult, your comment has NEVER been rejected. Comments have never been rejected because of viewpoint. There have been a couple of comments that made a good point but also insisted on just getting that slam in. There is no way to edit the actual words contained in a comment otherwise I would do that. The comment must be rewritten and I have done that on three occasions for AC in hopes that they would learn from the experience. Needless to say that didn't work. My only task here is “Moderate Comments” base upon simple rules that a certain person refuses to accept.
AC, Do you know my position on any of the topics facing this town? I've got a steak dinner that says you don't have a clue!
Now onto another matter...
I do have one comment that is upsetting because the author signed it “Smedley”. I'm going to forward this comment to Mr. Smedley's attention, I doubt he will appreciate it.
Remember AC, ADMIT NOTHING, DENY EVERYTHING, AND MAKE COUNTER ACCUSATIONS. OORAH!
Now go pound sand!

To check if an Oriental rug is authentic, spread the pile apart.If you see knots at the bottom,the rug was made by hand. But sewn-on fringes are a clear machine-made giveaway.
Tommy
I think your Christmas card list just got shortned!
Where is Tom?
What happend to Tom?
I'm willing to apologize and clear the slate and give Tom another chance.Just don't mince words!(please) I now understand where he was coming from.I just don't know where he's been! Looking forward...
My arm is getting tired!
Whatever!
Well I'd like to apologize also, I've been on vacation and have been behind on projects since returning.
There is no need to apologize since I don't know what you did. If you want to start fresh I'm good with that. Deal?
Deal! thanks
