Casino Update |
Stop Stalling, Says The Judgeby Bruce JacksonSometimes the lawsuit brought by a group of citizens and citizens’ organizations to block the Senecas’ downtown Buffalo casino seems like a soap opera: You think the plot is actually getting somewhere but then you realize it’s just going around one more time, and may very well continue doing so until all the current players have been worn out and replaced. |

Nicole Kidman Never Heard of Usby Anthony ChaseWhen I received the Google alert on Saturday afternoon that Nicole Kidman had made an impassioned plea for the rescue of Studio Arena Theatre in Buffalo, New York, I thought it was peculiar. To my knowledge, Kidman has no connection to Buffalo whatsoever, and little connection to American regional theater of any kind. |

The Long & Short Of Itby Jim CorbranThe long of it being the new 2009 Hyundai Genesis, the Korean automaker’s dipping of the toe into the premium luxury sedan market.

Horoscopes |
Free Will Astrologyby Rob BresznyLEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s a perfect time to work more intensely on cultivating a healthy relationship between money and your soul. For inspiration, read this wise counsel, articulated by Margaret Young and quoted in Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. “Many people attempt to live their lives backwards. They try to have more money in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.” |
Advice |
Ask AnyoneI’ve just married my boyfriend of five years. He wants us to merge our finances. I’m hesitant, even though he’s a trustworthy guy I love who’s financially stable, and he’s hurt. Is there something wrong with me? I just don’t think it’s a good idea. |
