...remedy: British music fans sharing illegal files online can now expect a polite slap on the wrist in the form of a letter through the post from their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The warnings are part of a government-brokered agreement between the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), which represents record labels in the U.K., and the country's six leading ISPs, and aims to stymie online piracy by better educating Internet users about illegal file sharing and by promoting access to legitimate online services.

...course, as you might guess, "it's not just writing it down that counts," Stevens says. It is also about using that record to identify eating habits that need to be modified. While most people think they know what they eat, they really have only a general idea and tend to have selective memory, especially when it comes to the foods that aren't so good for us. With a detailed food diary, you can see where those extra calories are coming from...
...mystical aspect of the Torah. Those who lack the oral tradition are at best pretenders. I hope the description of Madonna as a practitioner was a joke, because it can't be taken seriously. Kabbalah did not cohere around a book; the book was an attempt to record in writing a tradition that had been around for centuries. The Zohar may have been first published in the 13th century, but it was written by Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a Talmudic sage who lived in about the 2nd century. Levi Rudd, Miami Beach, Florida...
