The Secret Cardinal by Tom Grace. One of the best I've read recently not only because of its topic, but once the story picks up, it is hard to put down. I read the last 2/3 of the book in one sitting.

I guess Silicon Valley/SF Bay Area is a bubble, because I think that AC Transit and VTA are pretty decent. Caltrain is also pretty good, especially with its Baby Bullet service. And of course, I heart BART. MUNI needs some work, I'll give you that. I am actually quite shocked at the poor quality...

As you may have heard, Farrah Fawcett has died this morning from cancer. However, what you may not know is that 3 out of 5 cancer deaths could be prevented with the proper access to screening and preventive care. Single-payer would make preventive care a higher priority, because it is not...

(Jack looking sad) Karen: Jackie, as I once asked Celine Dion, why the long face? --- From the episode with Mia Sorvino: Leo (to Grace): Hey, why do you care that Diane's had Will's kebabs, but you don't care that she's had mine and I've had hers? Jack: No, silly. Diane's a girl. She doesn't...

I totally agree. I had no idea who "Speidi" were before "I'm a Celebrity..." and they are just plain annoying on the show. Perez, honestly, cannot expect to talk smack about people all the time without getting smacked.

Reducing the charge time would definitely make it more marketable. I would think most people feel 8 hours to charge is too long (although one is asleep for 8 hours a day and also at work for 8 hours a day, so I really don't know what the fuss would be about). The website you linked also...

Beast Wars anybody? They were the only ones I watched; I've never seen the mechanised version of Transformers.

Yes, Obama has increased fuel efficiency standards, but only to 35 MPG for cars by 2012. The availability of electric cars is scarce in the United States. The majority are vehicles like golf carts that do not go faster than 25mph and are thus only used as neighbourhood vehicles. There is a...

I was cleaning my room recently and I found my Pogs collection and guess what set they were: Power Rangers.

Actually, even though he seems anti-environment, it is actually better to have no car than a hybrid. Society needs to be structured in a way where everything is within walking or biking distance. Imagine having a car-free society. The problem with water is that there is not enough clean...

如果不會拼音﹐那也可以用國字。

Now that we are getting more non-Alias users here, I think it would be awesome to beef up the stories in the Non-Alias Fiction forum. What do you all like to read about or are interested in writing about?

I actually didn't jump on the bandwagon until Season 4 and I thought it was good, but then I saw re-runs on TNT of the first three seasons and I was like :ohmy: This show used to be really good!

The Catherine Tate Show "Suis je bovvered? Regardez mon visage! Je suis NON bovvered! Une kilo de pomme! Renee! Renee! I AIN'T BOVVERED!" -Lauren Cooper Although my favourite was the one with Tony Blair.

I liked the first season the best because it stuck more with the comics.
