...attributes in the office is just about the only thing that DiSesa's book has in common with The Girl's Guide to Kicking Your Career into Gear, by Caitlin Friedman and Kimberly Yorio (Broadway). With its comparatively prim language and earnest encouragements, The Girl's Guide is like chick-lit for M.B.A.s: "You've figured out where you are. And realized that you're not satisfied. Of course, you're not. Ambitious girls never are." This book is pitched to a younger audience than DiSesa's, which speaks to the more seasoned and frustrated businesswoman. The Girl's Guide...

Now back from his break, Fleck is currently touring with jazz pianist Chick Corea, one of his main inspirations. He shared other sources of his early inspiration, including the theme song for “The Beverly Hillbillies.” Fleck first heard the banjo at the age of four while watching reruns of the popular show at his grandparents?...
...photos of said man being unfaithful, and a murder scene all flash before the viewer’s eyes. This theme is another deviation from the typical Ashanti video, in which relationships always work out and the man doesn’t want to be with any other chick but Ashanti. Also, in this video, there’s no elephant. The basic plot is simple enough to follow. Girl loves boy. Boy cheats. Girl catches and kills boy. Or does she?
