    Photographer in Lake Charles, La.

    What it sounds like it adds up to is the chance to do the work of four people and get paid for the work of one. ::) ::)

    Sports editor, Providence (R.I.) Journal

    They still make all-state selections, but don't dedicate a full tab to it anymore.

    Sports editor, Providence (R.I.) Journal

    It's an excellent salary. Pay is more than enough to live in Providence or the surrounding 'burbs, especially if you have a spouse with a second income (though you don't need a second income at that salary). This was Art Martone's job, I believe. Not sure what he's doing now. You'll have a...

    URI-St. Bonaventure men's hoops

    I need someone in the Olean, N.Y., area to cover Saturday's game between the Rams and Bonnies. Just need a gamer. $50 for 800 words. Tip is at 7 p.m. If you have credentials, great. If not, I can arrange them. PM me.

    Best action movie character?

    I'm surprised you didn't just say, "Me." As for Axel Foley, I loved the movies, but nobody who holds a gun the way Axel does (or Reggie Hammond, for that matter) can be included in the discussion. I'd throw Leon from "The Professional" into the mix.

    Orlando Sentinel general assignment reporter

    According to Lynn, he received more than 270 resumes. Pretty close to 300.

    Sports Writer, Hilton Head, S.C.

    You're absolutely right. However, it's not as if the ad was up for a month, as in your example. The job ad was posted for eight days before the position was filled and only six before Jeff stopped accepting resumes. Sending a package out four or five days before the deadline (and few days after...

    Sports Writer, Hilton Head, S.C.

    It does seem kind of odd that you said in the initial post that you'd be accepting applications through June 30 and made a hire on that day. But I guess if you found your guy, you have to do what you have to do.

    One of the signs of the apocalypse, surely

    No mention of Mickey Dolenz would be complete without a picture of his smokin' hot daughter, Ami Dolenz.

    GF advice needed

    Not that anyone gives a rat's ass about me, but I think venting might help me out here. After an agonizing couple of weeks, I broke it off today. She knew I had been trying to decide what to do about the situation and this morning she asked if I had given "us" anymore thought. Here's what it...

    GF advice needed

    You're right, of course, slappy. I was pointing out that it will, in fact be difficult for me to abstain from sex for that long, though it is definitely a option I am considering at this moment. I was trying to keep a fairly serious topic somewhat lighthearted, though. It's what I do. Make no...

    GF advice needed

    Despite the booze, you handled your questions much more appropriately than was done earlier in the thread, so no hard feelings. The not-sleeping-with-her option is viable, I suppose, except that I'm a friggin' hornball and haven't dipped my wick in a few months already. That said, it's...

    A little introspection

    Funny ... the guy is our pitcher. :D

    GF advice needed

    This is actually the third girl I've dated since the last breakup. Just the first that's last more than a few weeks and that I'm actually excited about seeing.

    A little introspection

    I had a similar epiphany yesterday when I was giving a softball teammate a ride home from our game and I was prattling on about how today was going to suck because I was likely looking at a 15-hour day. As I looked at him, I realized I was saying all this to a guy who has been at various times...
