Tail of two cities: Sex Worker Literati
2009-08-16 01:35:00 Photo by ExpatJaneI've never been a sex worker. The closest I got was getting someone to pay me $5 for making out with a straight girl in college. Now I do that all the time, but oddly, no one wants to fork over any Benjamins for my efforts. But I am something of a sex worker groupie, in that I am continually amazed and inspired by their stories, their perseverance and the occasional yeast infection remedy they provide me. Last week, when I was on "vacation" (bloggers don't get real vacations) in New York, I was lucky enough to catch Sex Worker Literati, a new reading and performance series hosted by Audacia Ray and David Henry Sterry on the first...

2009-05-11 23:08:00 For Large Caps it was a hasty retreat but for Tech not much happened. Large Caps stayed on course to reach their 200-day MAs as Tech averages struggled to hold theirs. Most worryingly, the Semiconductor Index, having breached rising support from March lows now finished Monday below its 200-day MA. The Semicondutor index is now looking at the 50-day MA for support. This creeping weakness has impacted on the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100 with the MACD trigger 'sells' in the aforementioned indices.The Dow is lagging nearly all of the key indices but has now started to outperform Tech markets even on the back of Monday's down day.Look for further cycling of money out of Tech into the relative safety of Large Caps over the next couple of weeks.Dr. Declan Fallon, Senior Market Technician, Zignals.com the free stock alerts, stock charts, watchlist, multi-currency portfolio manager and strategy builder website.

2008-06-04 20:02:00 Tonight I'm getting on a red-eye flight to Minnesota (because of this and this), and I am fully prepared for everything Minneapolis and its surrounding areas have to offer. You see, I've been doing lots of research on the state, I've been re-watching Fargo, and I've been spinning Prince (the musician Prince, not myself) nonstop. I now practically have Minnesota blood pumping through my veins! I could have even more if I ever find out where all the hookers hang out?a cursory Google search on "Minneapolis hookers" turns up slim pickings. Hey, Minneapolis, where your hos at?!You ask, "Hey, Prince [me], what's your favorite Prince [musician] song from his last album that nobody heard, Planet Earth?" I'm glad you asked. The lovely "Resolution" brings the funktastic album to a smooth end. Listen (it's mis-titled in the imeem player, by the way):
