"The Passage" by Justin Cronin: A review by Nathan Weatherford
I can highly recommend "The Passage" as a summer read. What elevates it above many other exercises in horror are the relationships that lie at the heart of all the characters' actions and decisions. ... But, don't let my focus on the familial threads of the plot put you off; these hundreds of pages fly by. This is a thriller, after all, and you're going to want to read another chapter before you try to fall asleep.
roger ebert's journal: Whole lotta cantin' going on
Can a film be great without question? Is it demented to find fault with "Inception?" Or "Citizen Kane?" Not at all. Scolds have emerged in recent days to smack at those critics who disapproved of "Inception," but as a fervent admirer of the film I can understand why others might not agree. In fact, the reasons cited by David Edelstein in his much-attacked negative review seem reasonable. I don't agree with him, but that's another matter.
More than six months ago, I made four
incredibly stupid entries in an official contest to appear on The Colbert
Report, all of which are still up at http://community.colbertnation.com/profile/michaeldare.
The website provided a zip file of dozens of clips of Colbert that we were
invited to edit ourselves into. I went nuts. The front page of the contest is
still up at http://community.colbertnation.com/,
where one of my videos remains featured, but with NO MENTION OF THE CONTEST.
It's like it never happened. No winner has been announced and nobody from
the site has appeared on The Colbert Report. It's like the whole thing
was a cheap publicity stunt to get a bunch of free material posted to the Comedy
Central Site with no intention of ever letting someone on the air. Maybe the
moderators didn't really like any of them. Many were even worse than mine.
I'm not saying I should have won, I'm saying WTF!? Pick someone else,
I don't care, I need closure. I can't live forever with this pathetic dream that
someday I'm going to be on The Colbert Report. Would I have to appear
as the lunatic character I play in the videos or could I just be myself or, holy
self-revelation, maybe there's no difference. Would it be okay to turn my
appearance into performance art? Could I jump over the desk and try to strangle
him and get taken away in a straightjacket? That would be cool. Right now, life
is like a production of Waiting for Godot with Stephen Colbert as
Godot.
Idea #2: We start out having a normal
conversation which leads to something like this...
SC: How do you like New York?
MD: A lot of people on the streets
asking for money.
SC: Why don't you just ignore them like
I do?
MD: I wish I could. I mean when YOU
ignore a beggar, it's because you think they should pull themselves up by their
own bootstraps and they'll probably just spend it on booze, but when I ignore a
beggar, it's because I don't have any money to give them.
SC: Good. YOU'D probably spend it on
booze.
MD: Let me ask you something, Stephen.
How much money do you have in your pocket right now?
SC: I don't know, why?
MD: Because I'd like you to give it to
me so I can give it to beggars when I leave the studio.
SC: I don't understand. What do I get
out of it?
MD: Satisfaction at having helped
somebody who needs it?
SC: BLANK STARE
MD: Okay, look, you can film me giving
the money away. That way you can use the footage to show how benevolent you are
without ever having contact with an actual homeless person.
SC: So I would look good to liberal
dupes in my audience and all it would cost me is the money in my wallet?
MD: You got it.
Stephen hands me 20 five dollar
bills.
EXT. COMEDY CENTRAL
I give a five dollar bill to the first
homeless person I see.
MD: You see, Stephen, that really felt
good.
The homeless person puts a knife to my
throat. I give them all the money.
MD: Well, that didn't take as long as I
thought it would.
Mel Gibson has been called a religiously insane, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, racist by a great many people. His actions and words certainly point to that as being the case. However, he has made movies that have been very popular and, in some instances, awarded and/or critically acclaimed...
So...
What is your view of Gibson as an actor and are there any of his movies that you have enjoyed?

Anyone remember the novel Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut? In it, mad scientist Felix Hoenikker invents an ultimate weapon of war, a small crystal of a fictitious phase of water, called ice-nine, that is solid at room temperature and which, if thrown into an ocean, would solidify the oceans and so doom the human race.

And, Joe S replied:
There are 15 known crystalline phases of water. As crystal water is ice there must be 15 kinds of ice. Let's see, there is thin ice, and thick ice, and blue ice, and green ice, and sea ice, and ice bergs, and ice cubes, and shaved ice, and Ice, Ice Baby. I guess I don't know them all.
Wonderful World
Cumberland Island lies off the coast of Georgia and is the largest of
the State's barrier islands at just under 18 miles in length.
Virtually no one lives on the island all year round these days but at
the southern end of the island you will find Dungeness, once owned by
the famously rich Carnegie family. The house is now in ruins but
perhaps if you listen closely you might hear the strains of a ghostly
Charlston.
LOS ANGELES -- The Gulf oil disaster is but one example of the ways in which our fossil fuel economy is impacting the planet we call home. But as bad as this catastrophe is, the specter of global climate change looms even larger as a threat to sustaining life on Earth. Despite overwhelming evidence -- species extinction and dwindling water supplies to mass migrations and mega-storms -- the public is still unclear what climate really means for them.
That is why we are calling on artists worldwide to participate in the CoolClimate Art Contest - the first online art contest exploring climate change in its many forms - how it is impacting our lives and what can be done to ensure a sustainable future for all of Earth's inhabitants.
Artist brief: submit a work of art that explores our relationship with the climate - from clean energy jobs to pollution-free oceans - the subject choice is yours. You can submit a piece you've already made, or pass this email along and get an artist friend involved. Post your art on
www.coolclimate.deviantart.com and you will be eligible to win prizes, be featured on the Planet Green Planet100 show and be displayed at key leader events nationwide on 10/10/10.
A panel of esteemed judges will select 20 finalists from hundreds of submissions. The finalists will then move to Huffington Post for public voting utilizing the Huffington Post's innovative online social voting tool. Judges include:
· Mel Chin (artist)
· Philippe Cousteau (ecologist)
· Agnes Gund (collector & philanthropist)
· Van Jones (environmental activist)
· David Ross (curator)
· Carrie Mae Weems (artist)
· Jackson Browne (musician) and Dianna Cohen (artist)
· Chevy Chase (Comedian) and Jayni Chase (philanthropist)
Submissions are now open and will close on August 23, 2010. You can read the Official Contest Rules on the
CoolClimate Group Page.
Historically the creative community has always helped to create new and expanded visions of possibility during difficult times and we look forward to the artist's vision for a cool and sustainable future.

A rural school district that canceled its prom rather than allow a lesbian student to attend with her girlfriend has agreed to pay $35,000 to settle a discrimination lawsuit the ACLU filed on her behalf.
The district also agreed to follow a non-discrimination policy as part of the settlement, though it argues such a policy was already in place.
Constance McMillen, 18, said the victory came at the price of her being shunned in her small hometown of Fulton.
"I knew it was a good cause, but sometimes it really got to me. I knew it would change things for others in the future and I kept going and I kept pushing," McMillen said in an interview Tuesday.

Rage Against the Machine will push for artists and musicians to boycott Arizona because of its new and restrictive immigration law.
The politically outspoken rap-rock band's lead singer, Zach de la Rocha, plans to announce Wednesday that proceeds from a concert in Los Angeles on Friday will go to organizations fighting against Arizona's law.
De la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, singer-songwriter Conor Oberst and United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta will also throw their support behind Sound Strike, an artists' boycott of Arizona.
Norteno superstars Los Tigres del Norte, Colombian rock singer Juanes, salsa-ska band Ozomatli and Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Calle 13 have signed on, along with veteran alternative rockers Sonic Youth, rapper Kanye West and the English electronica collaborative Massive Attack.
John Aravosis of AMERICAblog made an interesting find Monday night: A high-resolution image on BP's website of the troubled company's Houston-based Deepwater Horizon response command center had been altered.
The altered image was later removed by BP and replaced with what they say is the original (the altered image is above and the original is below). You'll notice that three underwater images were inserted onto screens to the right on a wall of video feeds in the altered image, where blank images exist on the screens in the original.
The photo flap inspired the usually staid Washington Post to quip, "Apparently BP is no more adept at doctoring photos than it is at plugging deep-sea oil leaks."
BP spokesman Scott Dean told the Post's Steven Mufson that there was no diabolical plot to photographically beef up the company's command center. Rather, he said, a BP photographer with completely benign intentions just slipped the images in.
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill shows that the United States should follow the example of South American socialists in nationalizing its energy industry, filmmaker Oliver Stone said Tuesday.
The Academy Award-winning director of "Born on the Fourth of July" and "JFK" said that America's country's natural wealth was too important to be left in private hands, telling journalists in central London that oil and other natural resources "belong to the people."
"This BP oil spill is typical" of what happens when private industry is allowed to draw revenue on what should be a public good, Stone said.
"We shouldn't make this kind of profit on oil or on health or on war or on prisons. All these industries should be public industries."

Gov. Arnold $chwarzenegger has appointed actress Geena Davis to a California commission established to promote women's equality.
$chwarzenegger on Tuesday named the 54-year-old actress to the Commission on the Status of Women. The nonpartisan panel advocates for women and girls in areas such as education and access to health care.
Davis, a Democrat, has worked off screen to reduce gender stereotyping. She is the founder of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in the Media and is a partner with United Nations Development Fund for Women.
The appointment lasts four years and requires Senate confirmation. The 17 commissioners receive a $100 per diem.
Finally, something for those guys who say they read Playboy for the articles: a chance to prove it.
Playboy Enterprises Inc. launched a website Tuesday that it swears will be safe to browse while at work, eliminating the need for men to throw themselves over their computer screen when the boss walks by.
TheSmokingJacket.com will contain none of the nudity that makes Playboy.com NSFW - not suitable for work. Instead, it'll rely on humor to reach Playboy's target audience, men 25 to 34 years old, when they are most likely to be in front of a computer screen.
The site, named after one of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner's favorite pieces of clothing (silkpajamas.com was taken), won't include the long interviews or in-depth articles found in Playboy.
With more than $1 billion in ticket sales, the Broadway musical "Jersey Boys" has spawned many recent attempts to transform pop music to the stage.
But here's a good legal question: Can former cast members publicly perform covers of the original pop music that inspired the show? Or is that tantamount to creating a competing, unauthorized musical?
In April, Frankie Valli sued former original cast members of "Jersey Boys" for stealing songs, stage elements and copyrighted logos in the creation of their own musical tour. Valli asked a court to issue an injunction preventing further touring by the ex-cast members.
Now comes the countersuit, which alleges that Valli's claims are "motivated by petty vindictiveness and malice" and that he is "using bully tactics better suited for the schoolyard."
The original cast members -- Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and J. Robert Spencer -- claim they are entitled to continue participating in "The Boys in Concert," a traveling road show where the group performs hits from Valli and the Four Seasons, among other songs.

New York City police say they have arrested rapper-actor Ice-T on accusations of driving with a suspended license.
Police say the entertainer was driving a 2009 Cadillac near West 40th Street and 11th Avenue on Tuesday when officers stopped him for not wearing a seat belt. They said they ran a check and discovered his license was suspended.
The NYPD said he would be given a ticket and released.
Ice-T has played Detective Fin Tutuola on the TV drama "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" since 2000.
Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck says he's been diagnosed with an eye disease that could eventually blind him.
The conservative commentator told an audience attending his "American Revival" tour over the weekend in Salt Lake City that a doctor told him he has the degenerative disease macular dystrophy.
Beck says he went to a doctor for testing because he had trouble focusing with his eyes. "He said, `You have macular dystrophy. ... You could go blind in the next year. Or, you might not."
Beck said he replied: "Did you just charge me a thousand dollars for knowing what I knew my whole life?"

Dennis Hopper's sprawling estate in Venice, Calif., is going on sale this Friday for about $6.2 million.
The property, where Hopper lived for more than 20 years, is located a few blocks from the Pacific and spans 15,550 square feet over five land parcels.
It is comprised of several structures, including the late actor's 4,900 square-foot corrugated-steel house designed by architect Brian Murphy and three townhouses designed by Frank Gehry that Hopper used as office space and family residences.
Listing agent Jane Gavens of Coldwell Banker Previews says buyers also have the option to separately purchase the main residence, which was designed to be a showcase for the actor's art and photography.

The soup stand that inspired the Soup Nazi episode on "Seinfeld" reopened in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday, six years after its famously brusque owner, Al Yeganeh, shut it down and licensed his recipes to a franchising company.
More than 100 people were waiting in line for the noon reopening of the tiny storefront, including a few regulars who remembered the days when Yeganeh ladled broth and imposed discipline from behind the cramped counter.
Much about the shop was the same as in the days before "Seinfeld" made the place famous, including its strict ordering rules, now posted in nine languages.
But some things are different. Yeganeh neither owns nor operates the store now. Like other Original SoupMan stores around the country, it is a franchise, although company President Robert Bertrand said Yeganeh remains involved in the business.

Cecile Aubry, a French film star turned author and writer of the popular 60s TV series "Belle and Sebastian", has died aged 81 after a long battle against lung cancer, her family said Tuesday.
Aubry, who in a fairy-tale life was signed up by 20th Century Fox at 20 before marrying a Moroccan prince, died in the Paris suburbs late Monday, relative Virginia Stevenoot told AFP.
But Aubry's film career was short-lived, interrupted by a secret six-year marriage to the eldest son of the pasha of Marrakesh, Si Brahim El Glaoui.
Their son Mehdi plays young Sebastian in the black-and-white TV show she wrote that was broadcast in France from the mid-1960s before being picked up by BBC1 and turned into a Japanese anime version in 1981 titled "Meiken Jolie".
Mehdi also sings the final song in the adventure series.
"Belle and Sebastian", which spawned two sequels in France, also gave its name to the Scottish indie pop band.
Set in the French Alps, the holiday classic recounts the adventures of an orphaned boy of six and a huge white dog that roams the mountains. It has also been turned into a book.
