*Television: There’s a new WKRP. It’s in Cincinnati. [lp] *Movies: View short clips of films juxtaposed with unexpected musical samples! Hilarious? [presurfer] *Rhymes: Biggie Smalls recorded “reference tracks” for Lil Kim? (That’s not a euphemism.) *Gifts: Trendhunter put together a list of presents for musicians that includes a guitar toilet seat. Unfortunately, that is the most practical option on the list. *History: Dancing mania gripped France in 1518. It started with one dancing woma

Book Review a Companion to American Technology, - (USA)
Title of the book, A Companion to American Technology, explains very briefly three points which I am to explain a little more elaborately. First of all, this book is a companion book, therefore we can’t expect many details about the issue, thus this book is a compact, all-inclusive and comprehensive one. Second, this book has a chronological view to American technology, as it is one of the books of a series which are published by Blackwell about American history such as 19 th century America an

What’s the Rudest You’ve Seen Someone Be to a Comic Pro at a Con? - (USA)
I’m sure by now most of you have heard of the rude prank where the guy goes up to Rob Liefeld at San Diego Comic Con and first tries to have him apologize for Heroes Reborn: Avengers. Next, the fellow presents Rob with a copy of “How to Draw the Marvel Way” (with a note inside telling him he should study this book for future reference and if he ever wants to apologize for Avengers, he can e-mail him at an enclosed e-mail address) and leaves before Rob can read the note. That’s pretty damn rude

Five Notes for the Last Day of November - (USA)
Posted by: karlo mikhail on: November 30, 2008 In: Ephemera Comment! 1. Today we commemorate the death of Andres Bonifacio, the founder of the Katipunan - the movement that led the revolution against the Spanish colonizers in the last decade of the 19th Century. As it is Bonifacio Day today, allow me to link historian Ambeth Ocampo’s article on the love life of the late revolutionary leader published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer today. 2.

THE BIG THREE: Mike Hallowell - (USA)
A FEW WEEKS AGO WE ASKED VARIOUS BLOGGO REGULARS TO TELL US WHAT WERE THEIR TOP THREE FAVOURITE MYSTERY ANIMALS... AND WHY Mike Hallowell: I've always been a romantic at heart. Indeed, I have vague recollections of trying to snog Toby the CFZ dog at a Weird Weekend party after I'd imbibed a surfeit of tequila, and still have the scars to prove it. Toby rebuffed my advances, although he did send me a get-well card when I was discharged from the Accident & Emergency Unit lat

The Future of Nuclear Energy: Facts and Fiction – Part I: Nuclear Fission Energy Today - (USA)
This is a guest post by Dr. Michael Dittmar . Dr. Dittmar is a researcher with the Institute of Particle Physics of ETH Zurich, and he also works at CERN in Geneva. Nuclear fission energy is considered anywhere between the holy grail, that can solve all energy worries of the human industrialized civilization, and a fast path directly to hell. Discussions about future energy sources and the possible contribution from nuclear energy are often tainted and dominated by irrational expectations

Choosing CompTIA Network Plus Training - Thoughts - (USA)
by Jason Kendall If it weren’t for a steady stream of knowledgeable computer and network support staff, commerce in Great Britain (as elsewhere) would be likely to grind to a halt. Therefore, there’s an on-going requirement for people to support both users and the systems they work with. As we are getting progressively dependent on advanced technology, we also emerge as more reliant on the well trained IT professionals, who keep the systems going. Getting your first commercial position is of

Our Gang - Philip Roth - (USA)
One of Roth’s books you are most likely to find in used shops seems like it would be completely uninteresting … a 30+ year old satire of the Nixon Administration. And while, yes, there’s one or two Agnew jokes that’ll go over your head unless you’re paying close attention, this is actually a timeless and very funny little book about the stupidity of power and malleability of political speech. In this book we see how positions are twisted around (the My Lai massacre ought to delight leftwinge

Winner: Live Your Road Trip Dream - (USA)
In our first Countdown-to-Christmas giveaway, Stacie won the book Live Your Road Trip Dream with the following comment: I would definitely love to travel for a year. I think I would need to wait until my children are older because of school. I can see myself doing this though if I had the money. Stacie will have a copy of the book coming her way very soon, and after she read it maybe she’ll see that she can do this while the kids are still in school. If you think you’d enjoy taking a year

Thanksgiving 2008 - (USA)
November 29, 2008 at 10:28 pm (Musings) Tags: Thanksgiving I love my friends. There isn’t a word in English that clearly expresses this kind of friend. “Family of choice,” “best friends,” “fremily” are phrases I’ve heard - but I think, as a culture, Americans don’t have a good term for (or even understanding of) this kind of friendship. We were eleven for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Some friends we’ve known since the first day of college over sixteen years ago. Another fri

Schoolhouses, Courthouses, and Statehouses - (USA)
The new book from Rick Hanushek and Alfred Lindseth, Schoolhouses, Courthouses, and Statehouses , is a remarkably comprehensive and accessible review of K-12 education reform strategies. It’s a must-read for education policymakers, advocates, and students — at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. Even experienced researchers will find this to be an essential reference, given its broad sweep and extensive citations. The book basically makes four arguments. First it establishes how im

the drive to photograph: 3 quotes - (USA)
John Lehr There’s a great quote by Walker Evans at the end of Amy Stein’s conversation with Steven Ahlgren : “Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.” That makes me think about all the TED Talks I’ve been watching. They are manna for the geeky at heart. Whether you agree with the speaker or not, there is always something to think about, an idea – that’s what makes them inspirational. In fact, it’s the same thing that makes good art inspirational. But mo

The Lost Payoff - (USA)
Gotta take a break from grading to write about Lost ’s rollicking season finale, and season 5 in general. Spoilery goodness beneath the fold. One of the things that has long fascinated me about Lost is that it is simultaneously a “genre show,” but has often been quite opaque as to what genre(s) it is embracing. By “genre show,” I mean that it lives in the lower cultural hierarchy like “genre fiction” vs. the more aspirational realm of “literary fiction.” All television is genre television,

Paper Towns, by John Green - (USA)
Paper Towns was my third (and final for now) adventure through John Green’s books. And what a lovely adventure it was. Quentin is about to graduate from high school. As are, of course, his friends, Ben and Radar, and the-girl-next-door, Margo Roth Spiegelman. Though Margo and Quentin have not run in the same social circles since elementary school when they discovered a dead body in the park, Margo appears at Q’s window three weeks before graduation and drags him on an adventure through Orlan

ESSAY: HISTORY OF OBLITERATION OF SIKKIM AND ITS PEOPLE: - (USA)
Posted by barunroy on November 30, 2008 FROM SURVIVAL SIKKIM ( I ) The process of obliteration of Sikkim and its people was initiated by the British in the late nineteenth century. Sikkim left with the Chhogyal was conquered by the British in 1888 and was partitioned in 1890 by entering into a convention with Imperial China. This was done all for obliteration of the ethnic Sikkimese Bhutias. The British plotted changing Sikkim demographically with their Gorkha ally. The territories of Sikk
