From today's Palm Beach Post:
How does a woman meet the man she's going to marry and then [allegedly try to have killed]?

In Dalia Dippolito's case, as a professional escort, says her jaded...

Who agrees that the staff at MP (at least overall) is in a whole other class than the TA crew? I find the waiters at MP to be extraordinarily nice, helpful. Sometimes I look forward to going there...

I doubt that even the low end of the margin error (66% of Copa's populace) are fans of Help. I'd like to believe they are, but I know that's wishful thinking.

Which celebrities besides Sean Combs...

Sperto, the survey -- particularly its finding -- sounds specious to me, too. But 320 is a big enough sample to be valid, if (and it's a big "if") the survey was done correctly. No?

the labor committee of rio's state assembly is trying to keep help open through the end of carnaval in order to give the club's employees time to find new jobs. who says all politicians suck?...

Interesting back-and-forth that's erupted here on sewage treatment, etc. Useful info, but definitely a contender for unsexiest discussion ever on ISG.

Thanks, guys. I'm still a bit confused, though. :confused: Maybe the phrase comes from the sense of "so many good options, you can't go wrong no matter how you choose."

Anyone know the Brazilian expression "Tanto Faz"? Is that a way of saying "six of one, half-dozen of another"? Or, "either way is good"?

Hughdad, just out of curiosity, what type of new biz? More specifically, what media niche are you involved with?

It would certainly be to the venture's benefit to include the participation of well-connected Brazilians.

Following up on what I mentioned earlier, the veterans on this site should think about creating an even bigger club than Help.

I know that launching such an business, especially by...

Or being under a spell. (How do you say in Port? Feitiço? Encantado?)

Walking alone from Ipanema to Copa in the dead of night is not a rational thing to do. But my adrenaline was so pumped about...

Any place that inspires such emotion (both pro and con) in grown men is truly special. A few years ago, my plane landed in Rio after midnight. I got to my apartment in Ipanema about 2am. Dead tired,...

Plus it's in a great shopping mall.

How's the sign? Still garish? :)

As the old saying goes: The final days of Help are approaching... and always will be.

Point taken, Chezz. I need to develop a thicker skin.

I wonder: Do you pay additional fees for all the prospective members you've driven away? One can only imagine how much revenue ISG loses due to Exec Talent's (odd name, btw, for a man whose only...

Thanks! Let me know what you think, RS911.

ET,

Do you do film reviews also? The book was just optioned for a movie.

I know what you're thinking, ET, and you're absolutely right: plenty of films get optioned and never make it to the...

Lukasek, please buy it. I'm sure you'll like it. Most of Around the World in 80 Lays is original writing. There are stories that have never appeared on ISG or other forums. Some of the stuff is based...

You make some good points, but I think it's fair to ask have you actually read the book?

Also, at what point do you consider someone "truly active" within Rio's mongering scene? Surely my...

It's an excellent point. In terms of quantity of information and timeliness, no book could ever hope to keep up with always-expanding forums like ISG. My aim was more to give my personal perspective...

ET, thanks for starting a discussion of the book. I'll be honest, though. I was a little hurt by your "objective" review. For the sake of balance, here's a differing opinion from a reader at...
