Cancer is a sensitive water sign, with a hard outer shell. For this reason, Cancer rising people are often considered distant and aloof. Since the rising sign or ascendant affects first impressions, some might mistake you for a cold, ornery type. If they catch you in a bad or overwhelmed mood, you won’t likely win friends or influence people. Your crusty carapace is merely protection, though—underneath you’re a big softy.

The most important thing to know when considering using gold in your painting is that the gold in Klimt’s paintings is gold leaf, rather than the iridescent paints available today.

Will Ferrell is arguably the biggest comedy star of the 2000s — taking over from previous title holders like Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler — and though some of his films eventually began to repeat themselves, there’s no denying that he’s been responsible for some of the funniest films of the decade. From Anchorman (and its sequel) to the Christmas movie that’s great all-year-round, “Elf,” Ferrel has dominated box offices across the country with these hilarious feature films....

Long gone are the days of the 5.0 Mustang. The fifth generation’s answer to a performance pony is the 4.6L GT Mustang; GT standing for Gran Turismo or Grand Touring.

Vice presidents don’t make big headlines on a daily basis or are as well remembered as their presidents, being in the shadow of the head of the United States’ executive branch. Unfortunately for vice president Dan Quayle, he’s well remembered for many of the things that came out of his mouth incorrectly, twisted around, or just plain wrong.

For many entrepreneurs, passive income options are the top choice. While they take time to set up, the amount of effort involved drops off once they’re up and running. Even so, for many passive income streams, such as information products, you have to start at zero each month and hope you sell enough to meet your goals. The ideal online business involves both passive and recurring (continues regularly) income, and one of the best ways to have that is through a membership site....

He’s exhausted. His muscles ache beyond belief and his body is chilled to the bone. His heart is pumping a mile a minute after having just maneuvered through an obstacle course that would challenge the most agile of men.
