Dylan's Candy Bar: Trick or Treat Halloween Tote Bag Basket

First to recommend

Description

Okay, I'll admit it. I love the bag. But I'll take the candy too. And, while I'm at it, I will get another one for my favorite trick-or-treater so that he has ample room for the all-important collection process. Go ahead. Splurge a little. We all deserve a treat in the midst of all the world financial turmoil.

Where Have All the Leaders Gone? by Lee Iacocca

First to recommend

Description

More than a call to arms, this is a no-holds-barred condemnation of the state of the nation by one of the world's foremost turnaround artists. We may not like how he says what he says, but Iacocca makes some salient points and, in so doing, gives us a beacon at the end of this recessionary tunnel.

If you have been living in the land of business casual for several years now, you may not have a decent interview suit in your closet. Before you drop several thousand on a basic black two-piece, check out your options at Macy's.
