At the tender age of seventeen, both Elias Webber and Ian Hamlin fell head over heels for the same girl. They were best of friends since birth and had lived next door to one another in the small town of Darien, Connecticut. That was where they both saw Jill Wallokowski for the first time. Elias was lucky enough to share a bathroom with the family’s pretty nineteen-year-old nanny, but Ian hadn’t even had the chance to say hello since her time in the Webber household ended abruptly with the mysterious killing of Elias’s stepsister. Thirteen years later, the three are thrown together once again and a love triangle like no other unfolds in the suspenseful murder-mystery “Jill 9R 5b4 21; (ISBN 0976773295) by J.D. Tynan.

The legendary Tortilla Factory, the Texas Chicano supergroup, has released a new CD "All that Jazz" 23 years after their last release, and Bobby Butler's voice is as rich as ever. Known as "El Charro Negro" to his fans, he has the distinction of being the only African American who sings the "Homeland Texas Chicano" a term coined by the band's leader, Tony "Ham" Guerrero.

Joining the band is Tony's son Alfredo Guerrero, infusing a new note into the band's repertoire by singing songs with an urban flavor as well as the ballad "Hasta Que Te Conoci." Jerry Lopez (Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony) from Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns lends guitar and vocals to that track.

“Office parties can be breeding grounds for workplace affairs,” says Ruth Houston, infidelity expert and author of Is He Cheating on You? -- 829 Telltale Signs. That’s one of several reasons why Houston encourages women to attend the office Christmas party with their husbands or boyfriends.

Short-Circuit an Office Affair

Several studies indicate that the workplace is the number one place for cheating husbands to find an affair partner. A recent survey by a private investigation firm showed that of all of the times for a spouse to initiate an affair with a co-worker, the annual office holiday party is when it’s most likely to occur. Houston says her research supports these findings and warns “This is prime time for emotional affairs to turn into sexual affairs. If he’s had his eye on a co-worker, or has been bonding with her all year, the Christmas party is when he’s most likely to make his move. Fortified by a few drinks, he may be emboldened to make his approach -- especially if you’re not there.”

Texas Holdem poker has become a craze. Thousands of players compete in tournaments with the winner receiving a million dollars or more. Just like in the stock market, though, its the professional players that win the game and profit from the inexperience of the amateurs. Investors can learn much from these professional card sharks.

I admit to having pre-conceived notions about poker and gambling in general. I assumed that winning was just a matter of luck and chance. It seemed to me that gamblers played the game fast and loose, making decisions by the seat of their pants. Many investors have the same pre-conceived notions about the stock market.
