What Rochelle 'forgot' to tell us about Bret Eastern Ellis' Less than Zero

Hey guys, not sure if anyone's still reading these anymore -let me know if you still are!

Anyway,

I was again a huge geek last Monday and went to hear Bret Eastern Ellis talk (I do do other stuff, you know, I just write about the relevant 'English' stuff here!).

It was partly to promote his new book Lunar Park, but also cover his earlier stuff, especially American Psycho and Less than Zero. He told us a little about writing less. Apparently I was part of a paper in novel writing -he was studying creative writing as his major. He ran out of time a little, and wrote the whole novel in 8 weeks, while on crystal meth. I don't think Rochelle metioned that in ENGL 2whatever American Lit! The story in it was pretty much his lifestyle at the time. Anyway, the talk was really funny, and quite interesting, especially the stuff on American Psycho.

Otherwise, things are going well for me in London. I'm off around europe for most of November, then going for a holiday to NZ for the summer! Possibly catch up with some of you guys! I'll be mostly in Chch and Wellington, so let me know if you'll be around.

Daf.

Make no mistake: Our mission at Tip Top Equities is to sift through the thousands of underperforming companies out there to find the golden needle in the haystack. A stock worthy of your investment. A stock with the potential for big returns. More often than not, the stocks we profile show a significant increase in stock price, sometimes in days, not months or years. We have come across what we feel is one of those rare deals that the public has not heard about yet. Read on to find out more.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.

Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements

The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology

We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.

Online Stock trading, in the New York Stock Exchange, and Toronto Stock Exchange, or any other stock market requires many hours of stock research.
