It was supposed to be Malaysia’s moment in the sun, at the intersection of the Muslim and Western worlds, and helping define a constructive relationship between the two. But the non-Malaysian participants at the Third International Conference on the Muslim World and the West in Kuala Lumpur this week didn’t seem to get the message, [...]
Wednesday began like any other - I was listening to NPR on the way to work and then heard something that went like this:A federal grand jury has indicted a 33-year-old man on dozens of charges, accusing him of posing on the Internet as a teenager so he could molest at least 10 underage girls….…using social networking sites such as MySpace.com and MyYearbook.com "to convince high school-age gir

“I hope you found your flight satisfying”, said the smiling flight attendant.As I stepped outside the terminal I saw that it was another beautiful sunny afternoon in Los Angeles, California.

My flight included a stop over in Taipei, Taiwan, followed by a direct fl
I'm feeling under the weather so I'll make this quick:Tonight's episode of The Office had the following highlights:Stanley freaking out. " Did I stutter?!" My guess is NBC will make a shirt and start selling it tomorrow.Toby playing dirty.Jim fake proposing...again.Andy and Angela doing adorable MadLibs.Michael making a giant face divot.The org chart to end all org charts.The ugliest glasses ever.Creed's triumphant return to funny.Daryl shares his insights into gang life. (When he mentioned Newsies, I laughed so hard I stopped breathing for a second.)And much, much more.With this is mind, I am declaring tonight's episode, "Did I Stutter?" my new favorite and (I'm going out on a limb here) the best episode of The Office.Agree? Disagree? Bring it. I think this one is pretty hard to top.

Well, I’m speechless. No, seriously, for the last two days I have been completely without a voice!

We grow older and drift away further. It is not time that separates us but my own isolation. You progress to learn and merry around each day; while in the other side of the earth a lonely guy is just trying to survive.You are the most elegant woman in this world. You smile a freezing strike on my heart, you joke a century of memory in my mind.It is so fascinating that two people can stand face to face in a group and not talking at all. I cannot help it but to give in to fate.

There are some words I never in a million years thought I'd have to hear or to say -- or even write. Some things just don't happen. But at 3:40, when I heard my cell phone ringing in the other room, I knew I was about to hear something that would change my life forever. I mean, who's dad calls at 3:40 am on a Thursday unless the most horrible, unthinkable thing has happened?I can't type the words. It makes it real.I then had to call my brother and tell him. He answered the phone and I said, "Please don't make me say it out loud."I then called my sister, who had to tell my Nana. They're on their way to the hospital by now. I sat down on the floor and hyperventilated, until the phone rang again.I have to figure out how to get myself to Florida -- not to mention how to function on a ve

Erm, not meaning to ruin any "vibes" or anything but if this is the official video for "Night" then congratulations Tempa, you have just completely killed the song. A CGI dancing squid? I've used iMovie once and I am pretty sure I could do something more interesting.This is by some guys called sMoKio & DB. The video looks like it was recorded in the back of a car using the built-in camera on someone's Mac. Listen out for the voiceover from one of the Kersal Massive around 1:15.
Let’s hope today’s talks really do end in a deal being struck so this strike can end. The last Speechless video is up and well worth watching so I’m embedding it below. Check it out:

I am absolutely stunned. I have been looking at this blank page for twenty minutes trying to find the words that I want to use to convey the feeling that I have today. I have read everything I can find on the interweb about what went down last night just trying to spark some creative force in my brain so that I can memorialize this moment. But I'm at a loss for words. In a World Series that seemed completely devoid of any sort of tense edge of your seat thrills last night was everything that I had imagined it could be and more. I feel like I slept for 10 minutes last night, and that might not have been very far from the truth. I couldn't turn the TV off as channel after channel showed Mike Lowell with his MVP trophy, and Jason Varitek openly crying. I am thankful to John Henry and the ownership group - because the feeling that I had last night after Jonathan Papelbon closed out the World Series was one of those feelings that I'll never forget.You can say what you want about the Red
I was here at home working on a clients site. Angela calls me up and ask me what I was doing, and if I was going to be home. Said she would be on her way over, to hang out for a an hour or so. She makes it over, we start talking. And she takes something out of her purse and says to me, this is why I came over to give this to you. She pops out a jewelry box, I open it up to find this beautiful ring. I was speechless, I told her that I felt I couldn’t accept it. But I also know her well enough that she will make sure I take it. It’s a gift from her and her Grandfather for everything I did for her and the family two months ago when she had that unfortunate incident (post that were related to it, have been removed from my blog), when I stayed with her for a week taking care of her and the kids. But I was just being a friend and doing what felt right. I definitely wasn’t expecting anything in return, I know she would of done the same.

Az 1945. május 27-én Ottawában született Bruce Douglas Cockburn ismét egy olyan személyiség, aki, bár hazájában az egyik legismertebb és leg-elismertebb folk/rock gitáros, énekes és dalszerző, hozzánk a híre mégsem igen jutott el. Pedig tevékenysége a folkzenétől a rockzenén keresztül a jazz-rockig terjed, s 29 eddig megjelent albuma szinte kivétel nélkül jelentős alkotás. Lehet, hogy ebben valamelyest szerepet játszott az is, hogy a hetvenes években megtért, s több albumán is finom utalások találhatók keresztény hitére.Lehet, hogy nem volt a legszerencsésebb választás tőlem, hogy bemutatását mindjárt egy olyan albummal kezdem, melyen csak instrumentális számok hallhatóak, de a Speechless címmel, The Instrumental Bruce Cockburn alcímmel 2005-ben megjelent lemeze egyik kedvencem.A számok:1.

Skype is down, worldwide. Since yesterday. Engineers don't understand it. They said the bug has been in the software since years, but never caused a problem.I love software problems which appear all of a sudden. And it is worse when they solve themselves all of a sudden too (so you don't know when they will re-appear). Ah, the software gurus must be having a ball now. I miss those times. For the moment, I am into more boring stuff. Such as trying to solve world hunger. Pffft.Anyway. So if you are a fervent Skypee, you will have to be patient. Or use the normal landline (full post)

PROMISING forward Ashton Sims was so shocked to be told he was free to leave St George-Illawarra that he didn’t take in everything coach Nathan Brown said to him.
The Bulldogs are favourites to sign Sims, 22, who was once earmarked as a State of Origin star.
"I sat down with ‘Browny’ and my manager and I was sort of so shocked at first that I didn’t really take it all in," he said. "So you pretty much know as much as me. I’ve left everything in the hands of my manager, more…
Hey Listen All Y’All! Fans of the instrumental cuts from “Check Your Head,” “Ill Communication” and the classic compilation album made up largely of those tracks, “The In Sound From Way Out!,” will love the the new all instrumental Beastie Album , "The Mix-Up," set to be released on June 26 by Capitol Records. The follow-up to 2004's “To The 5 Boroughs” this is the Beastie’s first full album of all-new instrumental material. Mike "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz will be joined by keyboardist Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on the 12 wordless, sample-less, scratchless tracks. May 26&27 the Beastie Boys will play two sets at the Saquatch! Festival at the Gorge in Washington State to kick off a summer's worth of worldwide touring. They will be playing several European festivals this summer, including Live Earth at Wembley Stadium on July 7.The complete track listing for The Mix-Up is: 1. B For My Name2. 14th St. Break3. Suc
I don't even know where to begin.....Brady Quinn was there and Miami passed him up. Yesterday, while talking to a relative, we both agreed that the worst thing Miami could do, would be to select Ted Ginn Jr. A team with such big needs at quarterback and offensive line just could not afford to use the number 9 pick to select a wide receiver with injury concerns and that can't run routes. But somehow they did.When Miami was on the clock, I just couldn't have been any happier. Quinn was there, and he was going to be the guy. The franchise qb. But since my ESPN was being a dick, I had to follow via Yahoo. Suddenly, as the page refreshed, it showed that Miami had picked Hurricanesdefensive end Baraka Atkins. A guy who should be going in rounds 3 or 4.My heart threw up in my chest, but it was obviously some sort of glitch. But then the page refreshed and it showed Ted Ginn. A team that has started Damon Huard, Jay Fiedler, Sage Rosenfels, A.J. Feeley, Ray Lucas, Cleo Lemon , a gimpy Daunt

The Caucus article link Chatty Biden Leaves Obama Near-SpeechlessBy Adam NagourneySenator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat from Delaware and a candidate for president, is well known in Washington for liking to talk, about many subjects, with much detail and repetition, and at considerable length. One of his rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination – Senator Barack Obama of Illinois – may have paid the price for Mr. Biden’s loquaciousness (Note: if you want some fun, trying Googling “Biden” and “loquacious”) at a forum for Democratic presidential candidates before a labor audience in Washington this morning. Mr. Biden was the sixth Democrat to appear before an audience that seemed a little antsy when Mr. Biden began, and was certainly getting restless by the time he finished a full 30 minutes after he started. Enter Mr. Obama, who remains in Democratic circles these days the subject of considerable interest. Democrats, though, who might have been awaiting a full-out dose of
Okay.. so we’ve tried to look deeply into the honest criticisms that have come our way. There are definitely things to learn when an element of truth exists..  But.. what about when.. there is no element of truth? I read Bob Franquiz’s post on criticism.. and started thinking about some of the slander that has floated my way over the years.. Not the real stuff.. just the stuff that leaves you dumbfounded and speechless..

Matthew and I were shopping today, and realized that neither of us had brought our wallets. We dug through our pockets and found an impressive $21.00 between us. So, we prioritized our purchases, did some math in our heads, and headed to the check-out line confident that we were right on target. Except that it rang up to $22.18. Not a problem, I simply stated my predicament and asked that the last purchase be removed. The cashier didn't even flinch. As she continued to put my purchases in a bag she said "don't worry about it, I've got a dollar." I was like "um,...what?....um...you don't have to...what?...um,...but...I'm...um...what?" She just smiled. "Consider it my good deed for the day" and handed me my receipt and my bag. Its not like $1.18 is so generous that I'm astonded by her gift to me. Its just that...I don't know. That doesn't happen everyday.
