		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I had to travel to Denver for business.  I elected to drive instead of fly.

		<description><![CDATA[Folks, it&#8217;s been almost six months since I added anything to my series on how to get and develop killer story ideas.  There&#8217;s a reason it&#8217;s been so long—I&#8217;ve been heads-down trying to develop my own stories.  I have allotted myself only so much time for writing each day, and when things have to give, [...]]]></description>

The test will have two questions. Can you pass it? Big Hairy Test Question 1. Fill in the blank. Use your incredible subtraction skills [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not an early adopter. I do not rush out to buy the latest and greatest of anything. If I have something that works, then I keep using it until it absolutely won&#8217;t work anymore. For example, Nellie and I bought a Honda Accord when we were first married. Fourteen years later, we had [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s a LOT of fascinating information in the report. Here&#8217;s a taste: Americans 18 and older read on average 17 books each year. 19% say they don&#8217;t read any books at all. Only 5% say they [...]]]></description>

You can see my review here: http://johndbrown.com/2010/09/amano-jasons-deli-and-the-hunger-games/ Yes, but is the movie as good as the book? Let&#8217;s start with the beginning of the movie.

		<description><![CDATA[John Newton writes the following about himself. &#8220;My father was a very sensible, and a moral man, as the world rates morality; but neither he, nor my step-mother, was under the impressions of religion: I was, therefore, much left to myself, to mingle with idle and wicked boys; and soon learnt their ways.&#8221; And learn them [...]]]></description>
