Nanoworms and Malignant Tumors
2008-05-25 00:34:00
You've probably heard that Senator Edward M. Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor called glioblastoma. This is really unfortunate news because malignant brain tumors are very difficult to treat. There are no cures or really effective remedies. However, nanotechnology research may improve clinical care as scientists discover new ways to apply technology in healthcare. .........

Cheap Eats in Phuket, Khao Lak
2008-04-24 00:13:00
If there is one thing I can tell you about budget travel in Thailand, it's to avoid eating your meals at hotels. They are never as authentic as what you will find outside, and they are far more expensive. In some Thailand restaurants, a meal for two can be had for under ten dollars. The great thing about food in Thailand is that it will vary distinctly at each location. For example, no two restaurants will have the same Pad Thai recipe. Fresh fruit drinks are both delicious and inexpensive. For a special treat, try the coconut juices that are actually served in the coconut .........

Mulvey & Philadelphia
2008-04-10 04:20:00
"In 1973, Laura Mulvey dropped her essay ''Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema'' on the unsuspecting world of film theory, and came as close to superstardom as any theoretician is likely to get," writes Sam Adams in the Philadelphia City Paper. "Mulvey, who will introduce the screenings [of her films Riddles of the Sphinx, Frida Kahlo & Tina Modotti and Amy!] as part of a Penn Cinema Studies program on her work, has spent much of her career wrestling with the issues in her original essay, not least the problem that the feminist narrative she conceived is so self-marginalizing that its .........

My Blueberry Nights

"A big deal no one is making: the first Western-language films by the two most inimitable, imitated Asian filmmakers of our time are opening in New York on the same day." So, on the same page, the L Magazine''s Mark Asch reviews both Hou Hsiao-hsien''s Flight of the Red Balloon and Wong Kar-wai''s My Blueberry Nights , "a film as American as apple pie, and as out-of-time iconographic as that phrase .........

Portland's Gardens
2008-04-07 02:26:00
Portland is a green city. No, I do not mean green in the Al Gore/environmentally friendly way (though Portland does win praises for that kind of "greenness" too). I'm referring to the color. Portland is a city of trees and gardens. the positive side to all the rain that the city experiences is consistent presence of that color. .........

Chapter 27
2008-03-31 02:06:00
"Visually ugly, morally non-existent and a complete black hole in the departments of insight and wit, Chapter 27 is quite possibly the most godawful, irredeemable film to yet emerge in the 21st century," declares Premiere''s Glenn Kenny. "This inverted vanity project of pretty-boy actor [Jared] Leto (he co-executive produces as well as stars), for which he packed on seventy pounds in order to portray John Lennon murderer Mark David Chapman, tries to take the viewer inside the head of the obsessive assassin. As it happens, that''s a pretty empty .........

Caterpillar food plants
2008-03-19 02:42:00
I’ve been reading a bit lately about butterflies and how to attract them to your yard and garden. It’s important to plant flowers whose nectar attract butterflies, but don’t forget the larvae (caterpillars). Many butterfly (and moth) caterpillars only eat specific plants. The best known example is the monarch butterfly caterpillar, which eats only the sap from Asclepias species, or milkweeds, including butterfly weed (A. tuberosa) and swamp milkweed (A. .........

Demi Moore defends age gap with Ashton Kutcher

Demi Moore says the age gap between her and husband Ashton Kutcher never worried her.The Hollywood star - who, at 45, is 15 years older than Ashton - can''t understand why people were so shocked by their romance.She said: "People made such a fuss about my relationship with Ashton. You would have thought they had never seen it before. Age wasn''t what I was thinking about, but to the rest of the world it was a very big deal."Ashton also revealed he makes sure he spends as much time as possible with Demi when he is not working.He told America''s Harper''s Bazaar .........

Action is Everything

. In a recent series on the hidden workings of our minds I noted that scientists, artists and writers often have considerable difficulty explaining their thought processes. isabella replies that perhaps this difficulty is a necessary part of the process:"perhaps these accounts of thought processes that are "disappointing", "unsatisfying" or "implausible" are so murky because creativity needs that muddiness, needs to work away from the light of our attention?"I think there''s a very interesting point here which I have a personal take on influenced by my own efforts at .........

Single Malt Whisky Chocolate, a manly gift for Valentine's
2008-02-13 00:36:00
Traditional gift-giving for Valentine''s Day is mainly focused on the woman as the receiver of gifts, but apparently, this is not so in Japan, where Suntory (Japan''s oldest distiller) and Lotte (confectioner) have blended their efforts to concoct this whisky chocolate (the 12-year old whisky oozes out of the middle like caramel). .........

Culinary laser thermometer
2008-01-03 13:30:00
This one-handed, battery-powered laser thermometermeasures the temperature of cooking surfaces without touching them. According to our friends at Kitchen Contraptions, checking the temperature of your cooking surfaces prevents burning, undercooking, and sticking, and allows you precisely follow instructions to sear, simmer and saute. I have no idea what those cooking terms mean, but maybe the chef-husbands of Chrissie or Jenna would care to comment on the usefulness of this gadget. .........

Sunday delivery

Linda, of Linda’s Backroad Musings, is a rural letter carrier. She recently had a post about the survival of postal letters in the age of email. It’s an interesting post with some facts and figures. As she points out, the age of letters has not passed yet. This is the mailbox we have at Roundrock. (I showed you the mail box over at Fallen Timbers in this post.) This one is by our first fire ring (we’re on our third now) so it’s a bit off the path and unlikely to get rural free .........

Audrey Hepburn: Staring Me Down

Here''s a tip for people who just can''t seem to make themselves pull together cute outfits as often as they''d like: Hang a huge poster of someone glamorous on your wall. One of my Hanukkah presents from my family was the above poster of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany''s, and it has had the unexpected effect of causing me to want to wear fabulous clothing. I just can''t pull on sweats while Holly GoLightly is staring at me from the wall and sparkling with diamonds.Needless to say, I love the poster.

Business worried about climate change
2007-12-11 03:59:00
How things have changed.Executives expect environmental issues, including climate change, to affect shareholder value far more than any other societal issue during the next five years. Their concern now exceeds that of consumers, according to a new McKinsey study. More than half nominated climate change, compared with 31 per cent in the previous survey.It coincides with reports of corporations asking politicians to agree on a comprehensive, legally binding framework to tackle climate change during the ongoing international conference in Bali.The change in business .........

Senses of Cinema

"Try writing an essay on ''leaving the movie theatre'' in this day and age." Introducing their new issue, Senses of Cinema editors Rolando Caputo and Scott Murray pick up on the tone set by Chacun son cinema (To Each His Own Cinema), the compilation of three-minute films by 33 renowned directors commissioned to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Cannes this year: to enter a movie theater now is to pay a 21st century tribute, suffused with respect and nostalgia, maybe even mourning, to a fading 20th century custom as the films themselves slip out onto smaller, more portable screens or harrumph .........

Why It's All About the Day-to-Day
2007-12-04 02:01:00
It''s one of the great paradoxes of life that we all want to be happy, yet so few of us seem to know exactly where happiness comes from. Happiness itself can be defined in many different ways, it may have all kinds of components, it may be a life''s work, or even no work at all, but we are, most of us, in pursuit of this elusive goal.Psychologists have good and bad news about our search for happiness. The bad news is that we have essentially no control over 50% of our happiness levels. Happiness, like many of our other attributes is partially set by our genes. While these do interact .........
