...seemed like folly. Twelve years ago Jeff Smith decided to write, draw and self-publish "Bone," an all-ages, black and white humor/adventure series. Not only did he have no experience at producing a regular comic book, the popularity of such titles had long since bottomed out with the end of the Mutant Turtles. In spite of these challenges, "Bone" proved to be so polished and enjoyable the series grew into a beloved, multiple-award winning favorite of kids and adults. Earlier this year, after 55 issues, Smith concluded the epic story. Newly collected into one volume, "Bone...
Ever wonder what was in Tom Ford's first collection for Gucci or where the idea for Donna Karan's signature bodysuit came from? Now is the perfect time to bone up on your fashion history.

But it's the weather, along with the area's chalky, bone-white soil, that helps this region of France produce the best of bubbly. Two days should suffice for an even-paced visit that includes the essential comforts (great food and lodging) and exciting champagne. Experience the Grande Marques - the Clicquots, Moëts and others that make world-class, world-famous...
Calorie restriction has its downside, though, and it's not just hunger. Weindruch's monkeys experience changes in bone density, and other labs have reported changes in libido, menstrual cycles and body temperature in calorie-restricted monkeys.
