...people interested in caucusing for Romney aren't necessarily thinking about fun. Romney has run an unapologetically analytical, boldly flavorless campaign. "He's been extraordinarily successful using the same approach his entire life, and that's the way he's run his campaign," says unaligned Republican pollster Whit Ayers. "You gather the data, ask the questions and make the best rational choice you possibly can." Romney is betting that Iowa voters will approach their decisions on whom to vote for in the exact same way he has approached his campaign...
...Frontier Fort is why Applebee's exists. Its food is more consonant with the local culture - the main offerings are beef and bison, which are both raised within a very short drive of Jamestown - but my meal was prepared with indifference.

"Kanten is filled with soluble fiber ... and significantly slows down digestion," explains Jacqueline Marcus, associate professor of culinary nutrition at Kendall College, Chicago. All of a sudden, Japanese magazines and websites...
...scene catches the audience, immediately mesmerizing them and drawing them into the movie. Unfortunately, even Schaefer’s master camerawork cannot sustain the audience to the end of “Stay,” which is not really an ending at all, but instead a romanticized and flavorless cliffhanger. Overall, “Stay” misses the boat by throwing together a storyline that attempts to combine “The Sixth Sense” and “Memento,” but falls far short of both...
