2007-10-31 05:45  œEither these curtains go, or I do
Citatet i rubriken påstås ofta vara uttalat av  Oscar Wilde på dennes dödsbädd. Så också nyligen i en artikel som Guardian Unlimited skrivit om en lista över brittiska personligheters fyndighet. Oscar Wilde vann. Tyvärr inkom en rättelse i tidningen några dagar senare. Tydligen sa han inte alls så, eller då. Guardian skriver: "Oscar Wilde did not say, on his deathbed, "Either those curtains go or I do." He is reported to have said something along the lines of "this wallpaper will be the death of …

2007-10-22 22:45  COHA Report. The Organization of American States: On its Deathbed
To Our Readers Unfortunately, an older and unedited version of the COHA piece entitled œThe OAS: On its Deathbed was inadvertently sent out to a very small cohort of COHA readers on October 17 before an error was discovered and the press run was immediately aborted. Due to a computer editing error, the author, Sean Bartlett did not catch that two different facts were spliced into one sentence. Jose Miguel Insulza, as a young man in his late twenties, was a political director in the Chilean For …

2007-10-18 20:30  Communist Apostasy and Deathbed Conversion
An interesting story from India Church and Marxists clash over conversion of legislator. The details: The Catholic Church in Kerala state and the Marxist state government are at loggerheads over the conversion of a legislator before he died of cancer last year. Pinarayi Vijayan, senior leader of Communist Party of India (Marxist), speaking last week at the first death anniversary of Mathai Chacko in Kozhikode city, lashed out at Bishop Mar Paul Chittilapally for saying that the late legislator h …

In Salon, Steve Paulson interviews Steven Pinker and Rebecca Goldstein, who call themselves "proud atheists." But this post is not so much about their atheism as it is about language, concepts, and misunderstandings – You have a fascinating observation in your new book about causation. You say the way we construct sentences, particularly verbs, has a lot to do with how we understand cause and effect. PINKER: That's right. For example, if John grabs the doorknob and pulls the door open, we …

2007-10-09 17:49  On The Silliness of Deathbed Conversions
As my girlfriend and I are both atheists, we are incapable of wonder, affection, or altruistic behavior. You might think that this would make for a loveless existence, but we more than fill that void by holding satanist orgies of bloodlust at which we openly mock God by sacrificing unbaptized infants on an altar surrounded by writhing, entwined bodies which undulate with reckless abandon. The revels are usually followed by a post-sin panel discussion with free potables and brownies provided. Mmm …

I beat Eternal Sonata tonight.  As RPGs go, it's not very long.  My Clear data save following the last boss clocked in at just under twenty-eight and a half hours.  It is, however, a game that is very well paced, and doesn't leave the player meandering from meaningless subplot to pointless sidequest for the sake of extending the playtime.  It is also, despite my lack of an HDTV, quite honestly the most beautiful video game I have ever played in my life.  The colors are vibrant, the world and cha …

Read part 1 here, part 2 here .Part 3 - Last goodbye A second plane delay due to heavy ice storm had left me stranded at the airport. I tried to sleep but my mother's words ran through my head. I read the letter again and again but find no solace in her words. But at least I knew why she left. A pair of dark loafers appeared in front of me. I looked up to see Michel smiling down at me. I was surprised by his appearance but could not find any words to say. His face was all red with excitement, hi …

He was heralded as the person of the Week for ABC News last week. If I had it my way I would give him the Nobel Peace Prize. His name is Professor Randy Pausch and recently gave his last lecture.

Some now aren't so sure. Carbon dating is casting doubts on just how old this famous robe might be: Friars from two churches of the Franciscan order founded by the saint asked a laboratory specializing in dating artwork to examine two simple brown tunics said to have been worn by the champion of the poor, as well as a mortuary cushion. Francis who gave up the life of a playboy and soldier and all his worldly goods to dedicate himself to the poor and preach the way of peace, died in 1226. His hom …

2007-09-03 22:36  Atonement
When thinking about sin, one thinks normally of atonement. In Joe Wright's new film, Atonement, based on the Ian McEwan novel- the sin is committed within the first hour, and the second hour shows the consequences of that sin spinning out of control, spinning through three people's lives and leaving a fourth, the perpetrator, in that icy circle of hell that Dante reserved for traitors. Wright's film, like McEwan's book, plays also with the way that teenagers and adults relate to their sexuality- …

2007-09-01 00:21  Friday's Girl - The Accuser
We met in a work related environment. Both of us in the military. It didn't take long to become friends. Allow me to give a little background. I thought she was pretty. She had a nice petite figure (but a tall frame). At the time we met, she we were both married (I was in my first marriage at the time). Her husband was kind of stud jock like man. He kind of reminded me of Brett Favre (you won't have trouble finding pictures of Mr. Favre on the Internet). I may have had an occasional lusty though …

JTrain, blogging at Majikthise, has an interesting post up about a post-Katrina situation he blogged about almost two years ago. Two years ago, the stories about doctors issuing morphine doses that may have hastened the deaths of some patients in an overwhelmed New Orleans hospital were only rumors, and at the time, J (who's a doctor that does a lot of E.R. work) explained the concept of a triage: "Triage", as the word root implies, originally meant separating patients into three groups–th …

2007-08-28 19:00  The Most Forgotten Command by Pastors Today:...preach the Word!
The single greatest message I have ever heard or read on 2 Tim. 4:1-5 is by John MacArthur. This is what sets John apart from the rest of the pack in evangelicalism today who are mostly consumed by the expedient syncretistic moorings of their own imaginings; baptized in the postmodern ecumencial egalitarianism of pragmatism that is more concerned about being "liked" rather than being concerned for the truth. John's undying dedication and preaching of God's Word for close to four decades now is a …

The pain has reduced a fair bit today, and I haven't had to take painkillers on the dot of six hours, so this is a good thing in my book. I had lots more internal energy today.

Thumbtacked to the wall above my desk is a line from Grace Paley's Enormous Changes at the Last Minute. It runs: "Everyone, real or invented, deserves the open destiny of life." Paley could speak of "open destiny" with some authority. A writer to the marrow, she was also a mother, a rabble-rouser, and an inspiration. It must have been hard for her to imagine, working as a typist in the 1950s, that she would someday be honored as a national treasure. That the strikes against her (Radical; Working …

War is not a mere act of policy but a true political instrument, a continuation of political activity by other means. -- Carl von Clausewitz When the so-called "surge" strategy first came to our attention In January 2007, the administration and the Pentagon told us its purpose would be to provide sufficient security for a political reconciliation to take place--a political reconciliation in Iraq, that is. It was never meant to arrive at a truly bi-partisan policy solution between America's execu …
