1. Cover - This month's cover is an example of Japanese art called U k i y o - e , a g e n r e o f J a p a n e s e a r t t h a t f l o ur i s h e d f r o m t h e 1 7 t h t h r o u g h 1 9 t h c e n t u r i e s .

5. State of the World - Spheres of influence examined in terms of the emerging multi-polar global environment puts into perspective the roles of Europe, Russia, China, and the United States.
6. Feature - There are many places to buy and sell things on the internet, but the worst has to be the formerly delightful - and now horrifying - experience on eBay, where scammers proliferate and sellers are routinely taken to the cleaners through outrageous fees and a myriad of rules that would make the IRS jealous.
7. Sports - The transition from Winter to Spring means a conclusion to the college basketball season and the start of baseball season, Kentucky Derby preps and golf's Masters in Augusta, Georgia.
7a. Sports Extra - idleguy.com is home to the unofficial MLB Players of the Day (POTD), featuring the best performances from the National and American Leagues, every day throughout the season.
9. Food & Drink - Yes, it's Easter, but everybody knows how to cook a ham and color Easter eggs, so it was decided that Fearless Rick's Baked Bean Jambalaya would make a more tantalizing and Cajun-style recipe so that Mardi Gras could continue indefinitely. Bon apeti.
10. Books - From the off-beat, to the beat, to the spiritual, this month's offerings include works by Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, J.D. Salinger, and Carlos Castaneda, all available for free downlaod from the ever-expanding idleguy.com library.
11. Public Domain / Toast of the Town - An unusually sarcastic collection of quotes in the Toast of the Town accompanies a short story by the masterful Anton Chekhov.
