Perhaps you were thinking it would be nice if Fortune magazine would come out with some sort of nifty database that contained every year of their listing of America's largest companies starting in 1955. Okay, maybe you weren't thinking that, but they did it anyway.

Powerful short film that every woman should watch. Now lets hope we see this when all the shows aimed at the teen to 35 year old female demographic are being televised.

Nice listing of films that prominently feature food on the Gastronomic: The Magazine of Food and Culture site. Can you think of any other foodie films?

It would be nice if we didn't need such things, but the Anti-Racist Parent Blog is great. It's for parents committed to raising children with an anti-racist outlook. Lots of good things on this blog.

Once again, I want to thank the Laundress for mentioning, not only mentioning, but saying such nice things about Fig Newtons and Scotch in her blog Dirty Laundry.

Instead of a quote I will leave you with some fall splendor.
