I know you will like them as much as Yuengling Lager (which I have a fridge full of right now).

I'll certainly start scouring the local places for that one and let you know how it goes. Yeah, the CAPTCHAs are a bit of a pain in the ass (especially the upper/lower case) but at least it's better than the confusion caused by the math question changing between preview/submit. I have noticed that some spam bots are still getting through with this solution but I have also noticed that more real people are too. I guess I'll just have to live with that fact. You would think that someone with a PhD would be able to figure out a tiny little CAPTCHA heheheh! Manu,

I thought it was an excellent read, and some stuff in there really blew my mind. It's out in paperback, so maybe you can find it cheap. P.S. - Dude, these captchas are hard! I got it wrong three times already :) If you’re looking for another good food book, check out _The Omnivore’s Dilemma_ by Michael Pollan.

I think it expresses the thoughts, fears and emotions of a thirteen-year-old boy better than any other book that I have read. I'm not sure why it is popular with educators either. I am not sure if a high school student is far enough away from those thoughts, fears and emotions to appreciate their expression. Best of luck as you endeavor to meet your goal. Andy Bill,
