I started following hundredpushups.com today. I'd like an exercise plan along those lines to follow on the off days to work my abs. Is there a hundredsit-ups-type plan? Are sit-ups even the best way to strengthen my abs? I'm only looking for exercises that I can do at home without equipment and without much space.

In a 2001 University of Houston study of 153 survivors of nearly lethal attempts between the ages of 13 and 34, only 13 percent reported having contemplated their act for eight hours or longer. To the contrary, 70 percent set the interval between deciding to kill themselves and acting at less than an hour, including an astonishing 24 percent who pegged the interval at less than five minutes.
A surprising
article about the nature, methods, and deterrence of suicide.

100 Must-Read Books (for dudes)
Men just have different ... needs ... than women, so apparently they need to read different books as well. However (as a chick myself) I tend to check this sort of thing out in a futile but ongoing attempt to figure out men. Hmmph. Men. Go figure ....

Ahh, the quest for the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
The
classic stands as the benchmark: but are there better? Many think so:
Sherry Yard,
David Lebovitz,
the folks at Cooking Illustrated,
Martha Stewart,
Hillary Clinton,
beloved New York bakeries,
intrepid webloggers.
Alton Brown in an
episode of
Good Eats shows how to get them
thin,
puffy, or
chewy.
Cookbook after
cookbook and
competition after
competition try to ferret out the
best of this american icon. Web recipe sites
have their own favorites.
Some people swear by secret ingredients:
cornstarch,
pudding (which has cornstarch in it),
oats,
great chocolate.
Two thirds of Americans prefer their chocolate chip cookies "nutless."
Others find technique of greatest importance. Is there any end to this
quest for one of baking's
holy grails?

I know there are paying content writing jobs on the internet because I've done some commissioned articles for eHow.com and I've applied to about.com. I'd love to find more sites like these to apply to, but it's tough, because searching for "online writing jobs" generally yields a bunch of spammy pyramid schemes and so on.

My mother is 69 years old and uses a computer for email, occasionally to play scrabble with my brother-in-law across the country, listen to/find music, view photos and videos of her grandchildren, and to surf the Web. Other than that, she becomes easily frustrated learning new things on the computer. However, she's disabled, so she spends much of her time on the computer. I'd like to introduce her to some new, social-enhancing activities online but aside from Second Life and Facebook, I'm coming up empty.

I gifted my family a Wordpress blog (it's all up and designed and everything). I want a virtual center for our family that now spans the globe and can't get together often. However, how can I get the older coots to not only understand WHAT a blog is but how to use it. They use the interwebs. But only to look up the goofy stuff old people like - like when Murder She Wrote is on. Or to hate on George Bush. But not so much to interact. More inside.

I like reading to my 5yr old son at bedtime. We have discovered that we both enjoy reading longer books/ novels with many chapters and some pictures here and there. Our latest was the original "The House at Pooh Corner".
Please suggest more!
