2008-06-10 Uncertain Principles: Mark Alpert, Final Theory (Library of Babel)
I hate to give this a "Sure to appeal to people who read this sort of thing" review, because I think we could use more thrillers by people who have read more of a physics textbook than the index. But really, thats all I can honestly say-- if you like Douglas Preston, Tess Gerritson, Kyle Mills, and Javier Sierra (to choose some names off the back cover), you may very well like this.
I sketched the plot for Kate last night, and she looked dubious. "Does this book have any female characters" she asked. "Why, yes," I said, "theres a brilliant and beautiful black woman string theorist who helps figure everything out. " "Oh," she said, "one of those. ")
I definitely support having more books out there that depict physics as exciting enough to kill people over. - Humanities and Social Science Physical Science
2008-06-08 Summertime means timeless treats :: Jerry Davich :: Post-Tribune
Regardless if its a mom-and-pop or major corporation, they all offer the same culture-with-a-curl memories, including fresh-faced teenage employees, outdoor picnic tables, indoor ice-cold seating, and a blizzard of soft-serve treats with iconic names, like Peanut Buster Parfait, Mr. Misty, Swirl Cone Deluxe, and Dilly Bar.
A decade later, Tastee-Freez joined the soft-serve scene, with most of its stores in Illinois, too. Who remembers the companys twin mascots, Tee (female) and Eff (male), both buck naked with only ice cream on their curly heads

COLORADO SPRINGS - Police want to nab a man suspected of trying to break into three homes since . Its happening in Holland Park, an area bordered by I-25, Fillmore Street, Centennial Boulevard and Garden of the Gods Road. Police say the suspect--described as a bald and stockily-built white male--has tried to enter homes late at night by prying-off window screens. On one occasion he actually got inside and assaulted a female resident, inflicting minor injuries on her. However in each case, police say the suspect was scared off--by a dog, a light, an alarm or a loud noise.
2008-06-06 The Clarity of Things-The New York Review of Books
Copleys oil portrait of his stepbrother, Charles Pelham, executed a year or so later, is a typical stiff portrait of the period, with a totally indecisive background and a tabletop in odd perspective, yet with a pleasing care in such details as the pen and the vest and an arresting liveliness to the young subjects glance. By 1756, the teenage artist attempted, in the portrait of Ann Tyng, a nearly full-length female figure, a landscaped background, and an apparatus of pastoral conceit; by the next year, in that of the aristocratic Theodore Atkinson Jr. , who still wears a wary stiffness in the pose and expression, the painter achieved a marvelous virtuosic realism in the white silk waistcoat embroidered with silver thread.

2008-06-05 San Diego Reader Theres Been an Accident. Jadean Didnt Make It.
We decided to go down to the Ramona Sheriffs Station. I wanted to know why they hadnt come out to ask me what my 15-year-old daughter was doing with this 26-year-old man out in the middle of nowhere. So Sam and I went over to the Sheriffs Station and asked if we could talk to Deputy Brown, not because I liked him but because I knew him. He wasnt on duty, and the female deputy told us that we could talk to him the next day when he got back. I said, No, I really need to talk to somebody now. My daughter was killed by this 26-year-old man out in Pamo four days ago, and I want to know why nobodys come to talk to me about it. She asked us to hold on while she went inside the substation to see what she could find out. We waited about 20 minutes, and then she came back and said, Nobodys come out to talk to you

Throughout all this, I had to wonder what happened to the qualities that made the show famous: the outrageous dialogue, the sense of female camaraderie, the embrace of casual sex as a guiltless pleasure.
Here, none of the performances get beyond repetitive schtick; the jokes about Botox, pubic hair and incontinence are incredibly feeble, and the shot of a dog humping a pillow could come straight from an Adam Sandler vehicle.
While the film views sex from a facetious distance, it doesnt convey any strong impression of the city either, despite the constant, near-religious citations of upmarket brand names.
The movie is at its most honest when it concentrates on expensive objects and the emotions attached to them. - The Age Online - Sex and the City: The Movie Film Reviews
2008-06-04 American Chronicle Islam and Secularism- Chapter V
I always believed Islam was a step ahead from the other two Abrahamic faiths in its attitude toward female, sex and family life. I also believed it adopted a more practical approach to those subjects, specifically when compared to the Pauline chastising one, expressing itself in Corinthians I, when he encouraged celibacy saying, "he who marries does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better". Unlikely, Islam did not link woman to the first sin, neither it downgraded woman below the masculine benchmarks by any mean. To be able to materialize the cultural leap Islam achieved in terms of gender equity, and to support a thorough understanding of Islamic interpretation of woman and woman rights, we shall need first to have a comprehensive idea about the ecological and sociological conditions upon which Islamic faith has

Begins with a very different situation to that of Orwells spiritually corrupt and terror-ruled post-Revolutionary Communist order. This is an American, or at any rate Western, animal farm, Green Pastures, which the animals inherited peacefully when the old human owner died (see Nietzsche). With considerable effort they have established a stable Commonwealth. They are proud that in the early days of running the farm they beat off an attack by a bear, and "No Trespassing" is their watchword (A lost dog has been admitted and has become a useful member of the farm because of his civilized or "tame" heritage).
