...store. I don't have time to shop so I grabbed a pair of tights and figured I would try them on at home. I put them on and I can't get them on. I try to put these on and it's like a tourniquet ... So I thought, what is this garment? I started to do the research. It is in fact body-shaping underwear and it says things on the website like, "It's power panties." The only thing I could think, truly, is that if women had power, they wouldn't need Spanx. Aren...
...What's an UnResolution? The whole idea of a resolution is things that you've been doing that you want to try to do better, and I thought especially now, there's so much going on in the world and it's difficult, and people are struggling. And wouldn't we be better off if every New Year's, we thought about the things we did right and we resolved to keep doing them, no matter how wacky they were. For example, sometimes, I admit this even for TIME.com, that I sleep in my clothes. I did last night...
...only in the last decade that neuroscientists have discovered the most convincing evidence that memory is indeed dependent on sleep. The prevailing theory is that during deep sleep, the brain replays certain experiences from the day, which, in turn, strengthens the memory of what happened.

In 1984, Reagan said, "We begin bombing in five minutes," over a microphone he thought had been turned off. For some, this supposed joke is an example of his hawkishness not only toward the former Soviet Union but also toward Grenada, Cuba and others. If this is what counts for "diplomacy," no wonder we're in such trouble. Dean Wolfe, SURPRISE, ARIZ...
...foes committed their own - flying him off to exile at gunpoint. (They rationalized the move by insisting Zelaya was plotting to lift Honduras' own ban on presidential re-election, though his referendum never broached the issue.) The Obama Administration joined the world in condemning the putsch; and it thought it had the crisis resolved last month when it got Zelaya and interim President Roberto Micheletti to agree to let Honduras' Congress vote on Zelaya's restoration. But the legislature has refused to act before the Nov. 29 election, effectively kiboshing the accord. The U.S. has said it may endorse...
