It's amazing how much you can learn about a person by visiting the "reveal all" Web site - Facebook.So it should come as no surprise that employers are looking for job candidates' revealing information on networking sites. What they are finding is that the profiles don't emphasize skills students learned in the classroom, but those they learned after hours.

Some who post on sites such as Facebook and MySpace are offended at the idea, but employers are now thinking twice about who they hire to represent their companies.

It's exactly what you would expect it to be - Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose" is bombastic, over-the-top melodrama and simply one of the best albums to come out this year.In what marks Loaf's ninth studio album, and supposedly the last in the "Bat" series, this disc delivers the goods. Opening track "The Monster is Loose," which is about war and famine, is more than seven minutes in length and sounds like something off a Styx record from the 1980s; it is clear that Loaf has been brushing up on his vocal abilities.

Christianity has been grossly misrepresented.I opened the paper Sunday and saw that Ted Haggard of New Life Church in Colorado Springs had been fired because of "sexual immorality," according New Life Church's statements.

In today's fashion-forward, weight-conscious market, there are countless diets available. But before South Beach was discovered and before Atkins put pen to paper, there was the vegetarian diet.Like any diet, there was a time when being a vegetarian was seen and used to get attention and a way for people to form their identities. Today, vegetarianism has evolved into an environmentally aware habit, and I think it's safe to say, the "tree-hugging" perception has been put to rest.

There are essentially two ways to cut meat out of your diet: as a vegetarian and as a vegan.
