because, despite what many people think, literacy
issues are not just relegated to children and young
adults. To improve literacy in America, we must
consider readers of all ages and backgrounds. Here
are some tips to help you improve and encourage
reading and literacy

literacy campaigns.

Tom Jones International

|
|
|
Tom Jones is an integral part of the Las Vegas
entertainment landscape. He is one of only two
performers* who has played the city continuously
for more than 40 years. Of course, Tom Jones —
now Sir Tom Jones — is a star worldwide, with
more than 100 million record sales to his
credit. Today, still exploring new musical turf
(with his CD 24 Hours released in 2008) he
performs to packed houses approximately 200
nights a year. If you remember Tom Jones from
the early days, it's time to take another look.
If you weren't a fan then — or weren't born then
— check him out. Either way, you won't be
disappointed.
*Don Rickles is the other. |

It’s Time For Bunker Mentality
We are, it seems, on the verge of what
will look like a Depression. Economists might not call
it a Depression, but it will feel like one. And all of
us will be under siege..... |

President-elect. See if you agree. Ironic isn’t it:
we’re judging him and he hasn’t even taken office.
Shows the severity of our times..... |

I
have had so many people tell me they think I'll stop signing autographs
and going out to meet my fans and take pictures with then after a while,
but I am here to tell you that it won't happen. One of the highlights of

I’ve
always been the type of person who liked to be
adventuresome. As a kid growing up in Brooklyn, I would
take the subway wherever I had to go. I thought nothing
of it. I’d meet a girl and then take the train uptown or
out to Long Island just for a date..... |

The
holiday season is here! It began in October in some
stores and last week I even saw Christmas trees in some
homes. So, even with our hurting economy, there are
still holiday parties to enjoy and company visiting from
out-of-town...... |

Defending the Caveman is one of the funniest shows I

Quantum of Solace
Bond. James Bond.
Although quite possibly the most quoted salutary lines ever, maybe
elevendy-billion times, it has approached joke status. This hokiness
rating might explain why the most intense Bond ever, Daniel Craig’s
Bond, does not say that, not even once..

Lady Pink Saw Red |

I was out of the tournament early that day
and decided to play on line. I got into a $5.50 tournament.
There were 168 players but it also was only 4 PM. I figured,
even if I won it, it would be over by 7 PM. I was way below
average at 6 PM when Lady Pink arrived...... |
