Anniversary: Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments - (USA)
Lynne Kiesling I am on a plane all day today, flying to England for a few days of holiday before proceeding to Stockholm for the Mont Pelerin Society annual meeting . My main activity for the flight is to work on my course prep for my new freshman seminar this fall, entitled “Adam Smith and the Scottish Enlightenment”. I have a pretty good idea of the schedule, now I just have to plan each class … which means I’ll be spending most of the flight with Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments .

Julie & Julia: There’s a Reason People Don’t Make Movies About Blogs - (USA)
I’m sure it’s possible to make a bad movie starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams . But it wouldn’t be easy. You’d really have to work at it. It’s got to be tough to pull off true badness when you’ve got those two amazing women on camera the whole time. And Julie & Julia doesn’t work at it quite hard enough. It’s not a bad movie. But it’s not a great movie, either. It’s probably as mediocre as a movie starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams could reasonably be expected to be. J&J is th

B y now we are all aware that should liberal health care reform pass through Congress we will face government-sanctioned euthanasia of the sick, elderly and mentally incompetent; we will sit in lines longer than the opening night of the third Lord of the Rings film just to see our primary care physician, who will then turn out to be a disgruntled DMV worker with a stethoscope replete with Gestapo uniform; and when we do receive “care” it will be so subpar as to be in fact harmful – far more h

Tower Defense Games And iPhone Games Cause Of High Unemployment - (USA)
by Keith Wellman In today’s world of gadgets, gizmos, and electronic games, it’s no wonder that unemployment is so huge. You may be thinking that this statement is completely not true and has no real bearing on unemployment (you’re probably right) but, hear me out. The iPhone is quickly becoming one of the main attraction to people wanting to waste time playing games. There are tons of games (tower defense, strategy, and more), applications, and useless apps available. It’s no wonder so m

Report: Police Looking For Suspects In Walmart Trampling - (USA)
It happens every year; thousands upon millions of self-indulged, me, me, me types line up outside of stores at God awful hours the day after Thanksgiving hoping to be one of the lucky few to be able to pick up a limited number of $50 laptops or $200 52? LCD flat panel televisions. When the doors open they rush, crush, elbow, claw and grapple for the products. Fights always ensue and injuries occur as people rush to save a few bucks after being enticed by a few slashed prices on coveted products

Crazy Things Your Pet's Swallow - (USA)
Would You Rather Have a Pet or a Baby?The Guardian (UK)Family pet? Apparently, more than a third of Brits would rather have a pet than a baby. Pet insurance provider Petplan reckons many people are choosing to get a new cat or dog in place of starting a family. "A total of 37% of people said they would get their broody partner a pet instead of having children," says the company, while one in 20 married couples surveyed admitted to having already bought a cat or dog instead of starting a family.B

Very often people do thing and don’t even notice how quickly lifetime passes by them. Every single day we do so much different affairs, we go to work, meeting our friends, paying bills, watching TV, but unfortunately every day become the same for us. Also we do so many things in ones. For example, we have our meal and watching TV, we working and watching after children, speaking on the phone and cooking. In our modern society it calls multi tasking.

A New New Deal. Or Not? - (USA)
Nobel Prize winner and columnist for the New York TimesPaul Krugman has advocated a new major spending program in recent weeks that would closely resemble the New Deal of President Franklin. D. Roosevelt. Krugman argues that the New Deal created jobs, improved the country’s economy, and pulled it out a terrible depression. Writing for the Wall Street JournalAmity Shlaes explains that Krugman’s reasoning isn’t sound. Looking at the statistics from the 1930s and early 1940 it becomes clear, S

Claire Harman’s eloquent introduction talks of publishers sent the first copy of Pride and Prejudice with the names changed and only one noticing that; of titles and contents used in ways in no way related to their original use; of sequels, prequels and adaptations. Is it Jane Austen that is famed or is it just an idea associated with her name? We shall see! First there is Jane Austen’s life and career to consider. Just

Kadyrov's Unlikely Victims - (USA)
Philip P. Pan of the Washington Post has some better information on the married couple who were murdered in Chechnya yesterday. Ramzan Kadryov's quote is breathtaking: in explaining that he would have no reason to have one woman killed, he gives a reason why he would want Natalia Estemirova killed. C'mon now, let's just try a little harder here. She said Sadulayeva avoided political activism and never challenged the government. But Save the Generation's former director was found slai

Making Your Artwork Last - (USA)
The word “archival” is tossed around quite a bit among painters. Archival can be a process, technique or material - when used or added to your artwork, helps extend the length of time that your art will look the way you intended. Some common aging defects in artworks that develop over time are yellowing, cracking, or dust embedding into the top layer and graying the colors. As professionals, it’s helpful to know there are a handful of easy inexpensive ways to keep those things from happening, or

Fostering an unaccompanied child from abroad….. - (USA)
Many foster carers these days are being asked to look after children from abroad who have arrived in this country unaccompanied. It can be rewarding work, seeing a child develop and integrate in to the UK, learn English and gain confidence. These children are often very motivated to work hard and achieve at school and they value the support and guidance carers offer. The case examples below (not their real names) are real examples of children who have been placed in our Fostercare agency . Care

No Logo Lite - (USA)
By Max Dunbar. I have seen all these things being used, and I have seen the things they replaced. I will not listen with any patience to any acid listing of them - you know the sneer you can get into with plumbing, baby Austins, aspirin, contraceptives, canned food. But I say to these Pharisees: dirty water, an earth bucket, a four-mile walk each way to work, headaches, broken women, hunger and monotony of diet. The working people, in town and country alike, will not listen (and I support

Bill Betz writes re: “What I didn’t learn on my summer vacation”: Great post. I’m in the middle of Pearlstein’s “Nixonland” and it’s amazing to see (as we all well know) that Nixon was the embodiment of the elements that enable fascism to fester (it never flourishes until the end, and then it dies of its own excesses after creating incomprehensible disaster). Victimization, resentment, an amoral ends-justifies-the-means and nearly unbroken intensity (very much like that of Hitler) — implant

Mike Todd on ekklesia.. Hybels, Bono and ReJesus - (USA)
08.11.09Mike Todd offers a reflection on one of the more prominent conversations at the Leadership Summit. Were these two godly men really hearing each other?I think Mike is right that we have a language issue here. I recall first reflecting on this about 2002 when I wrote, “Leaving the church to find the church.” It was a strange journey, but one that got me asking an entirely new set of questions.As for the rest, this is the same conversation again, still a good one - the church exists in this
