Health insurance for pregnancy?

Considering that Rock140 is posting from a URL in India that's a favourite with spammers and apparently doesn't know squat, I'd take all he says in all of his posts with a grain of salt. (for that matter, maybe a bucket of salt would be better.

Choosing a pasta machine

Italian-made is what you want, simpler the better. Avoid fanciful cutters that promise ravioli and stick to linguine, fettucine or wider cuts. The old school hand-cranked models with one or two slip-on cutters will last for years. These are capable of producing precise thicknesses from chunky to pap...

Re: Why Was My Post Deleted?

In the thread "The future of the Republican party in America", someone posted about how great Texas's economy was and how this vindicated conservative economics, and I responded that nationally there was little correlation between how well an economy was doing and it's politically philosophy. Later ...

Re: homeschooling but going in for gifted program

Thanks Grinity - I hadn't thought about going into a neighboring county. The frustrating thing to us is that we pretty much begged them to look at our testing and information at the end of the 08-09 school year so that we could get everything in place for the beginning of the school year this year. ...

Good Food Great Medicine

I'm reading a book given to me by a friend and cancer survivor written by a Portland internist. He is advocating the Mediterranean diet, which according to his description, is very similar to the Ornish Diet - plant based, no processed foods, lots of leafy greens and beans. It differs in that it inc...

They tell me that this ensures that their kid will have a great education, career and a c...

Hello everyone, I am teaching a group of university students (aged 19-26) and they have asked me to sort out a language exchange evening for them. It would be a one-off thing but if it goes well then it could be repeated every so often. I am thinking of either Thursday 24 September or 1 October. The...

Re: Sony Reader - ebook reader

Great bit of kit - I've ordered mine. Yes it reads pretty much any text file and also ships with conversion software which allows you to turn any files which won't read into one's it will, or you could just create a .pdf and it will read those.
