...Even the classic camouflage-wearing U.S. Army can't ignore the winds of changing fashion forever. This spring the Army will update its dress code for the first time in a decade. ALLOWED: Braids and cornrows, baldness (natural or chosen), dyed hair if it looks "natural" (no blue, pink or fire-engine red) and one cell phone, pager or digital organizer per person (but not all three). BANNED: Dreadlocks, colored contact lenses and, on men, visible body piercings or nail polish. Polish is O.K. for women, so long as it's not blue, black, khaki or--things really are changing...
...expertise. Another sign Reid had help is that the sporadically employed ex-con somehow managed to pay cash for plane tickets and hotel rooms during extensive travels throughout Europe and the Middle East.

But like other places with generous endowments of natural resources--think of the oil-rich states of the Middle East--it has never been able to wean itself from a dependence on them; Argentina's main exports today are pretty much the same agricultural commodities they were 100 years ago. In the 1990s, sustained...
...we’ve ever done because we were new to the game, let the barriers down, and just went anywhere,” Jolicoeur said in an Ice Magazine interview about their latest release. But while this album may not rank with De La Soul’s classic debut, Bionix is a hip-hop album of surprisingly high consistency: There is perhaps only one song on the whole album that could not be released as a single, Pawn Star, and only because it has the sounds of girls groaning passionately throughout the chorus...
