2007-10-16 23:37  Media Much Deadlier Than an Islamonazi Bomb
Blackdog emailed us an interesting piece of propaganda from the MSM, originally published in Time Magazine. I have taken the liberty to include Blackdog's insightful comments from the email: I would like to highlight the fact that the media is much deadlier than an islamonazi bomb with this article. If you look in the third paragraph, it states that a battalion, which is roughly 1000 troops (3-4 line companies, service company, HQ company, etc) has lost 4 people in 12 months. I am not minimizing …

2007-10-15 10:37  From the Rector's Office
The "Vice-Pope" may already be making his voice heard on a New York appointment of a more prominent sort, but one Gotham move that garnered a bit of attention over the summer was Cardinal Edward Egan's appointment of his well-loved auxiliary, Bishop Gerald Walsh, as rector of the archdiocesan seminary at St Joseph's, Dunwoodie. A veteran pastor and onetime secretary to the saintly Cardinal O'Connor dubbed "St Gerry" by one of his former students, Walsh's naming to head the Stateside seminary tha …

2007-10-12 00:02  And the Great Radiohead Experiment Continues...
Oasis and Jamiroquai are contemplating distributing their music directly to fans without a label for an optional price the way Radiohead started doing yesterday, according to the London Telegraph.  Neither band currently owes their label another album, so there's nothing to stop them from trying, should Radiohead's experiment prove to be a resounding success.  (Another British band, the Charlatans -- known stateside as the Charlatans UK -- announced that it will distribute its music for free thr …

2007-10-10 14:24  Season Ending Report: GCL Red Sox (Part 3)
Pitchers: Ryan Colvin - The 20 year old returned to the GCL for a second season, going 2-3 with a 4.59 ERA in 49 innings, giving up 55 hits, 10 walks and 37 strikeouts. Pedro Perez - The 19 year old made his stateside debut this season, going 4-4 with a 2.98 ERA in 12 games (9 starts - 45 1/3 innings). Much like Jose Alvarez, Pedro also had issues with unearned runs, giving up 14. Tony Bajoczky - The 34th Round Pick out of Duke had little trouble in 8 games (6 starts) in the GCL, going 4-2 with …

2007-10-09 07:47  Para One - Dudun Dun (Institubes Light & Logic)
You are probably not familiar with Para One (unless you are knee deep into the French techno/house or remix scene) and neither were we. But in honor of his album Epiphanie hitting stateside just recently we decided to go back in time and pretend this video is new. The video is damn enjoyable, if not a bit too monotonous near the end. The opening shot is definitely a step towards trump-dom, giving off a creepy and voyeuristic feeling that complements the heavy synth beats. Then it leads to a bunc …

2007-10-08 18:31  Wishin' For Tuition
This story stinks. Let's start with this straight up: You can't give Iraq veterans enough compensation (full disclosure: I've done two tours, am still on the second...) but I hope the Minnesota Guard members - and all others - get as much as they can. I'd love to see Congressmen and Senators stop bickering about whether American soldiers are a) failures who've lost the war, or b) cold blooded killers, and instead fight among themselves over who can propose the largest compensation package. But I …

Selezioni Monograno Valentino Felicetti is a mouthful... but the most delicious mouthful. Anna Getty, my organic living guru girlfriend and soon-to-be expat has an eco-luxe retreat (which I am currently helping her remodel) in Italy's Chianti region, where she serves some of the best pasta I have ever tasted. The most extraordinary thing about this delicacy is that it is durum wheat-free! Organically-grown kamut, the ancient and significantly healthier relative of the better known grain, is the …

Interesting new book on OpenMP available. I've worked with both Ruud and Gabriele. I regularly see Ruud when he makes his stateside trips, and Gabriele used to work in the same group as I do before she moved from Sun. I've recently had a number of entertaining conversations with Ruud comparing the writing and publishing processes that we've been working through.

2007-09-27 15:30  Global Social Networking Machinations: Facebook Takes UK, Friendster on the Move in Asia
It turns out that the hype about Facebook this year ain't just hype. In the UK, Facebook has surpassed reigning global social networking champ MySpace for the first time, with a whopping 541% increase in audience since December 2006 (MySpace rose a relatively sedate 20% during the same period). Meanwhile, Bebo, a company you don't hear about a lot in the US, moved to take a strong third in Britain. And over on the other side of the planet, Friendster a site often thought of as an also ran in web …

Even if you have never crossed the threshold of Katz s in person, there is still a good chance you will be familiar with the slightly beaten décor of this fantastic old deli. The simple furniture, or rather one table and two chairs in particular, is famous for co-starring in probably the most famous ˜non-sex scene in cinematic history. Today a cardboard sign dangles from the ceiling pointing to the spot where Meg Ryan faced Billy Crystal and writhed in faux sexual ecstasy to confound his charact …

Dave Edmunds took a few years off between hits. Like, 12 of them. Rockabilly fueled guitar twanger Edmunds hit the Top 5 in 1971 with his cover of "I Hear You Knocking", a song that was as forward thinking as it was retro, with its megaphone vocal effect and grungy production. But it wasn't until 1983 (The Best Year for Music Ever!) that Dave returned to the Top 40, once again looking forward by mixing some New Wave into his Eddy twang. But first, Edmunds did some time with Nick Lowe in the infl …

September 6, 2007 Mosul, Iraq When I was a youngster growing up, I spent many a time camping along the banks of the Rio Grande River in southern New Mexico. There were four of us in our group. Fred and Greg Melton, who were twins, Scot Sheward and myself. Around the ages of 12 and 13- years-old, we would ride our bikes with all our gear on our backs and cruise up Hwy 85 to the north and spend days on end camping, rafting, shooting, cooking out and all kinds of things that kids in the west did in …

Oh brother. Ava and I are now working the public account. The threats upset others (including Jess who was really worried for C.I.) but Ava and I tend to laugh at the nut cases together. There's an idiot who's whining to C.I. that if you're going to quote someone, you should quote in full. I'll use Medea Benjamin as an example because she's in today's snapshot. (Although the whiner was complaining about a non-snapshot entry.) C.I. quotes some of Medea's op-ed. C.I. doesn't quote the entire thing …

2007-09-05 12:36  Review: Magnet, The Simple Life
When an artist is so moved by the release of his new album to break a world record for highest-altitude concert, it s hard to avoid puns about other high things: spirits, melodies, hopes. Norwegian artist Magnet raised just such allusions in a March solo acoustic performance of his new album in a plane between Oslo and Reykjavik (in-flight altitude: 40,000 feet; check the video ). Now the album is being released stateside, and the question is: will the high spirits of the album live up to the hi …

2007-09-05 05:57  The Rock Revolution Pt. 8 Prelude to An Invasion
When Buddy, Richie and Bopper left this world on Feb. 3, 1959, it left a void for millions of rock fans around the nation. We wanted something that had rhythmic kick; by that time, Elvis was Germany-bound and there wasn't much left. Meanwhile, college students began picking up on the blues of John Lee Hooker, Leadbelly and especially the Depression-era blues of Woody Guthrie. So they started learning the guitar, a bit of vocals and - though most of them were middle-to-upper class economically - …

Count on Brian De Palma to drive people crazy. His latest polarizer, Redacted, debuted in Venice on Friday to sustained applause and divergent reaction--see Reuters, Premiere, THR and Variety --and then met a mixed response stateside in Telluride on Saturday. (See Todd MccCarthy's fest wrap and GreenCine .) De Palma wanted to bring attention to the War in Iraq, 18 years after his own similarly-themed Casualties of War. What he got was a debate about his filmmaking methods. Some admired his high- …

Sitting in the darkness of my living room before dawn I gaze out at my backyard and drink my coffee. Sitting in my favorite chair I let my mind wonder. The house is still with everyone still asleep as I look out into the darkness my mind travels back over this past summer. I can see the helo's and hear the sounds of the convoy and artillery fire in my mind. I close my eyes and think about the whole experience, the memories are still very fresh. I can feel the heat and the weight of my flak jacke …

Ellen's Thomas performance was lots more music than reading, since most of the audience was Japanese, and her guitar was a steel-string dobro someone from the con lent her.

What an interesting man. We had dinner at an Indonesian restaurant last night--declicious and unlike anything I've had at an Indonesian restaura …
