Love and Hatred and 'THE BRiDGE OF SAN LUIS REY' (Feb 11 2005 03:58 GMT) - A few days ago, I began reading, or rather, re-reading the text of the classic by Thornton Wilder. The Bridge of San Luis Rey was written almost a century ago, and has not been out of print since its publication. When I began re-reading my copy, I was struck while reading the first chapter, with how prescient the book was to the situations we now find ourselves in relation to the events surroun ... |

Psychic capacities and the butterfly flaps its wings... (Feb 11 2005 03:58 GMT) - I have been curious about psychic phenomena most of my life... particularly about psychics who work for prosecutors in the criminal justice system, and for the police department. On that note, I would like to mention that a friend recently sent me a link to an interview with Allison Dubois, the woman whose real-life experiences with psychic phenomena are the basis in fact for the series: Medium ... |

Curiosity (Feb 11 2005 03:58 GMT) - I am still sick, with a fever fluctuating between 99 and 101. I have been talking with friends and knitting... knitting and talking. I have been reading up a storm, as I have no TV. I have my alarm set to remind me to drink water, eat aspirin, and to eat. |

The Poltics, Of Me: Part One (Feb 11 2005 03:58 GMT) - I have been wanting to make a post in the politics forum for awhile now but haven't had a topic I've been iching to write about so I decided I'll just post my politics. To start it out let me say I'm a pretty bleedingheart right-wing conservative. Yes I'm a "cooooky." But let me say I absolutlely I'm disgusted by what the Republican Party has become. Therefore, you could say I'm an Independent o ... |

P to king's bishop four (Feb 11 2005 03:57 GMT) - Last month, at the Ottawa RA Winter Open chess tournament, Canadian IM Michael Schleifer did something over the board that is guaranteed to ensure that his name is remembered forever by chessplayers. Unfortunately, it wasn't what you'd call an elegant move . And I don't exactly know how to represent it in algebraic notation. IM Schleifer has apologized , and so far the incident has escaped the attention of the press. |

Parsimony (Feb 11 2005 03:57 GMT) - Jeremy Lott and Will Wilkinson are discussing the Orwellian idea that the revealed preferences of Christians are incompatible with a genuine belief in a just Christian God, or in hell. Wilkinson's formulation of the notion is less than ideal, but Jeremy, for his part, seems to think he can refute it by calling it "obtuse" often enough. It requires an "imaginative leap", apparently, to understand why modern Christians are so poor at avoiding sin. Fair enough, but what would that great cleric, William of Ockham, advise us? Orwell's explanation--that Christians feel obliged to profess beliefs they won't act on, and therefore don't "hold" in any serious sense--requires no acrobatics at all. |

Ouch (Feb 11 2005 03:57 GMT) - As a Muslim living in the West, especially after September 11, it becomes a responsibility and duty to speak out and coach others to express themselves about what Islam really is. It's important to let the community know who you are and that we can live together. - Retired NBA star Hakeem Olajuwon, speaking in Calgary on July 27, 2003 A mosque established and funded by basketball star Hakeem Olajuwon gave more than $80,000 to charities the government later determined to be fronts for the terror groups al-Qaida and Hamas, according to financial records obtained by The Associated Press. - AP wire story yesterday The big man told the AP in a phone interview from Jordan--as in the Hashemite Kingdom, not Michael--that he couldn't "go back in time" and undo his financial contributions to terrorist front organizations. I guess we can't go back and delete his tireless publicity work on behalf of the Religion of Peace? |

rempartdelouest : Maison vide (Feb 11 2005 03:57 GMT) - En revenant du bureau, il voit ce jeune couple à l'arrêt de bus. Sûrement sortent-ils du lycée, du moins ils en ont l âge. Assis sur un muret, au sommet des remparts, ils sont collés l'un à l'autre. Derrière eux s'étend l'agglomération d'Angoulême, la verdure de la Charente. En voyant cela, il pense à l'amour, à la beauté des sentiments adolescents. |

John Cavaleri, who kept the animals in his bedroom, was fined A$1,000 ($769) by a local court on Tuesday for illegally possessing the exotic and protected animals, a court official said on Thursday. Behind glass tanks in Cavaleri’s bedroom in the Bondi Beach apartment lived a 100-kg (220-pound) python, two adult green iguanas and a freshwater baby crocodile, the court was told. The exotic animals were taken to Sydney’ |
