Opening lines for strangers end up being simple and direct
University of Alaska psychologist Dr. Chris Kleinke finds the best opener is brief and sincere. In a poll of 650 men and 831 women, lines like Thats a very pretty fill in the blank and You have really nice hair scored high. Men prefer direct openings while women favor innocuous or mildly direct starts. Cliches and overly cute lines fared poorly, and even the best lines require situational judgment and adaptation.

Sales Tax Exemptions Move Past House Panel
The House Taxation Committee backed a bill to exempt manufacturing machinery and equipment from Kansas 4 percent sales tax as part of Gov. Hayden’s reform. The measure would save about $16 million yearly, aiding firms replacing equipment and expanding manufacturing, with opposition on farm machinery. The plan would also lift about $21 million in relief for individual taxpayers.
