Stare

Washington, DC-based Alcian Blue, whose early limited-edition EPs drew favorable comparisons to the likes of My Bloody Valentine and Jesus and Mary Chain, had been around for almost five years, recording records in their basement and developing an underground fan base both locally and globally. The sudden departure of their drummer left them wondering what the future held for DC’s loudest rock b

Everyone needs a break right? Hie guys! It's been a while since I last posted (relatively speaking) right? The last one was about Frodo and Gandalf using email right! In fact this few days while I was at the comfort of my home, I read Tolkien's The Hobbit. Haven't finish it yet, but it's very entertaining! And the main hobbit in this book is Frodo's uncle-Bilbo Baggin! You guys remember him?

A recent study by Gavin Fitzsimmons at Duke found that simply staring at the Apple logo will make you feel more creative...Okay, it is a bit more complicated than that, but it is interesting to listen to him talk about the study, and it is something I can rub my into the noses of my Windoze and Linux buddies.Fron the site 9to5mac:According to the study, people who saw the Apple brand - even for a subliminal amount of time - scored 20-30% better on creative tests - well outside of a possible placebo effect. Go figure. Here is a cool interview with the author of the study.Makes you wonder if maybe we should show the Apple logo to all our kids before giving them the state mandated test eh?

A seconda del mood giornaliero siamo naturalmente guidate nella scelta dell’abbigliamento. Colori cupi se l’umore è nero, accesi se invece tendiamo a vedere il bicchiere mezzo pieno. Stessa cosa vale per la musica: Marco Masini a palla per le depressioni post litigata con il partner, tracklist da Carnevale di Rio se la vita ci sorride. [...]

My son, which I will now call ER and no, it does not stand for Emergency Room even though he's seen enough of them -- my son and I just returned home from grocery shopping. We visited our neighborhood store, one we have been shopping at for nearly eight years. All the staff knows us there and even though it's one of the more expensive places to shop, I appreciate being recognized and asked, "How's your family? Where's your other son?" Personal touches always impress me. However, the stares from customers do not.Why must they stare? I realize my son is different and yes, he's clapping his hands, laughing and words you cannot understand are flying from his mouth. But, he's excited. Food shopping is one of his favorite things to do. Especially, if there's a chance Macaroni and Chees

So why is it that people here stare at my adopted black son so much? There is something I want to refer to as the Slovak stare. That is when someone slowly and deliberately turns their head about 90 degrees until they are facing the object of interest (black person, dog turd, etc) when they maintain a fixed "slapped arse" expression until the father of said black adopted child tells them to fuck off. People here really need to lighten up. It is not just me. Many expats have remarked that the locals are miserable. It reminds me of England in the eighties.His Slovak teacher commented that he does not seem to like Slovakia or Slovak culture and needs encouragement at home. Well, fuck me. Perhaps being called a nigger in the park by white youths has got something to do with it.

"Stare"Completed: 12.7.07colored pencil on paperI kind of had a different idea for today's artwork, but this is what came out! Taken from a reference photo I took, I created a quick, stylized sketch. It actually took me around 35 minutes for this one, instead of the whole hour. I thought about adding more on the side, but realized after looking that I should not. More tomorrow! Hopefully by the end of next week, I will be ready to post the first piece from the collection I am working on. I have quite a few projects going on right now! :)Shannon

I already wrote earlier this week about how JB racked up his fourth DUI so I am not going to cover it again. I just thought this picture was hilarious because he is obviously wasted. In fact he might just be blacked out. Look at that cigarette. Only someone that is blacked out can defy gravity with a cigarette like that. Share This Post

Vi è mai capitato di rispondere così al vostro lui o alla vostra lei, che magari cercavano di “stuzzicarvi” per passare una serata “di fuoco”? Forse a noi italiani - focosi per natura - succederà raramente, ma negli Stati Uniti il fenomeno sta diventadno un vero e proprio problema: gli americani di tutte le età preferiscono la rete agli amici e ad altri istinti primari della nostra esistenza. Lo rivela una ricerca della Jwt, la quarta più importante agenzia di pubblicità, che ha intervistato 1.011 americani adulti. Gli americani hanno dovuto rispondere a diverse domande. Quanto tempo puoi resistere senza internet? Il 15 per cento ha risposto “un paio di giorni o anche meno”, il 21 per cento “un paio di giorni”, mentre un altro 19 per cento “qualche giorno”. La ricerca rivela che le senza internet molti diventano ansiosi, si sentono isolati e tristi. Un bel problema dunque. (more…)

C'è chi soffre perchè non può più lavorare 12 ore al giorno e chi non può stare senza lavorare la domenica.Il secondo è Daniele Capezzone che, dopo essere stato cacciato anche da radio radicale, rischiava di non poter lavorare più la domenica invece Santalmassi (direttore di Radio 24) gli ha dato asilo proponendogli subitaneamente di continuare la rassegna stampa domenicale dalle frequenze confindustriali (qui l'intervista sul Foglio dove Capezzone spiega le sue ragioni)Max

För sedvanlig schack finns det idag fortfarande två rådande världsmästare; den ene representant för FIDE och den andre för PCA. Forne regerande WC tillhörde förutnämnda organ. I dag kan man även vara bäst i korrschack eller andra former (som brukar anses tillhöra sk 'wild'-varianter).Trots tillkomsten av PCA är mediabevakning av schack numera koncentrerad till FIDE-sammanhang. För en del år sedan var det VM där Khalifman ställde upp som en utav utmanarna. Det hela ägde rum i Las Vegas. År 2005 arrangerades en känd match mellan Kramnik och Kasparov som förutom inbitna även lockade allmänhetens uppmärksamhet.Kramnik gick segrandes ur förutnämnda dunst på de 64 rutorna och skulle under en längre tid vara herre på täppan . Han lyckades bibehålla titeln mot de tuffa utmanarna Michael Adams respektive Peter Lekó. Kramnik hade en kort period av nedgång med kom snart att återhämta sig.Till tidigare utnämnda schack-giganter hör de nästan kultbetonade nam

I decided to read The New York Times today and could not figure out if I was reading a news story or an editorial. The title was, “Precedents Begin to Fall for Roberts Court.” It started with the asinine statement, “No Supreme Court nominee could be confirmed these days without paying homage to the judicial doctrine of “Stare Decisis.” What a bunch of nonsense. Linda Greenhouse, the journalist/ignorant pundit who wrote the story, also stated that Roberts and Alito told the Senate they would obey precedent, also a blatant lie. They actually said they would obey precedent if it were meant to be obeyed. Moreover, they spent most of their time at the confirmation hearings being silent about how they would rule in certain cases. Nevertheless, based on Greenhouse’s false premises, she asked the ridiculous question, “So why were [John Roberts and Samuel Alito] on the majority side of a 5-to-4 decision last week declaring that a 45-year-old doctrine excusing people wh

How many of us ever spare a minute to glance at the clouds changing their shapes? Sit in the moonlight for a while? Keep a pot of water in the garden for the birds? There would be a selected few who would answer in an affirmative. While watching clouds once, I gave it a thought that it actually sets the reigns of our imagination free. And is indeed an exercise of our brain.W.H.Davies in his poem 'Leisure' wrote:WHAT is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare?—No time to stand beneath the boughs,And stare as long as sheep and cows:No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night:No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance:No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began?A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.The sight of the full moon is thought provoking and entertaining as wa

Nobody Knows Originally uploaded by chicken widget.Every day, about five minutes after we feed her, Topanga makes a particular whine. If the whine isn't heeded, it turns into an excited yip. Valuable kibble has lodged itself behind her bowl, just out of tongue's reach. This is an emergency! A travesty! Torture!I can particularly empathise with her today- I have not one, but FIVE unfinished paintings on my desk. And my next day to work on them is MONDAY- so far away! This is an emergency! A travesty! Torture! Speaking of torture, I just finished watching Les Mysteries Picasso. The premise is fascinating- Watch Picasso paint! Watch as paintings magically appear before your very eyes! What is he thinking? It is a MYSTERY. Picasso!Yeah. The painting bits are fascinating, but...it does drag on. It has the soundtrack of a 1950's B movie. Combine that with dramatic lighting and watching a painting go from beginning to great! to ruined, over and over and over again. It was less of a mystery

I was at Souplantation (a fine restaurant) Sunday evening. There was a man sitting a couple tables away from my mother and I. The notable thing about this man was that he walked with a severe limp. He was walking back and forth from the buffet. Every time he walked back, I just couldn’t help [...]

Abortion is one of those topics I normally don't delve into much here. I detest the idea of abortion being used as a form of birth control (and I am totally in favor of birth control) but I also hate the idea of the state insinuating itself into this most personal part of peoples lives. But...partial birth abortion is such an atrocious horror that dredges up visions of Chinese doctors forcing women into early deliveries so they can jam a needle of poison into the brain of an otherwise perfectly healthy baby. The article below is good for pointing out the hypocrisy of liberal members of the SCOTUS. ~RJHPro Life Blogs article link Justice Ginsberg Abandons Stare Decisis? Seems that precedence (stare decisis) of the court only matters when it serves liberal interests, especially abortion.Consider this comment by "Justice" Ginsberg on today's Supreme Court ruling upholding the partial birth abortion ban."and the Court's defense of it cannot be understood as anything othe
