, Sept 25th, $39. Entrepreneurs tend to be a lively lot, so it'll be i=

, Sept 27th, $10. Get this - instead of hosting films in the studio or=
theater, they're getting people to open their living rooms for smaller, mor=
e intimate, settings. You go and watch short films while wedged into t=
he cracks on some dude's couch. Films rotate on the hour, with an afte=

, Sept 26th, free, to help keep kids, and parents, from morphing into jelly-=

, Sept 25th, $15. With the mortgage meltdown, you can imagine how exci=
ted banks are to write new mortgages right now. Unless you have a heft=

, Sept 28th, free with regular museum admission. Is there anything coo=
ler than a bug with twenty legs? Go down, look at the bugs, and maybe =
even eat a few. Actually, you already are, but you're just not aware o=
f little bug parts leaking into our food supply. There are plenty of h=

Next to dinosaurs, bugs are the coolest thing.</SPAN></P>

, Oct 2nd, $20. This is a new online magazine for Women's Wellness and=
Integrated Social Health, a woman-to-woman sort of thing. Learn how o=
ther women turn their struggles into triumphs, like one of those Lifetime ne=
twork TV shows. Best of luck to them. These online magazines hav=
