Old Friends
2008-07-18 16:23:00 #28 -- "The Burglar on the Prowl" by Lawrence BlockBack in college, I spent a couple unscheduled days, broke and broken-down, in a rough part of Albuquerque. I didn't drink at the time, and most of my possessions were in the car in the mechanic's, so I stayed in my hotel room with one book: "The Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams," by Lawrence Block. Having nothing else to do, I read it three straight times, cover to cover. It didn't get old.Since then, I've always been a Bernie Rhodenbarr fan, though I haven't paid much attention in recent years. I picked this up recently for a quick read, and it's still fun. At first I found it enjoyable but not as funny as I found the books some years ago; by the end, though, I was laughing out loud pretty frequently.If you're one of the people who likes to be able to figure out a mystery while you're reading it, you're screwed. Half the crucial characters don't appear until the end. And if you've read any of the previous novels, you'll ...
Staying With Friends In China: You Have 24 Hours Or You Are On The Lam.
2008-07-09 15:47:00 AmCham-China Daily (whom I am happy to plug because they gave me two pretty cool t-shirts) just did a post, not so grippingly entitled, "Advisory to foreign employees from chamber member company." The advisory is on the need for foreigners to register with the police within 24 hours of their arrival in China, if they are not staying in a hotel. I think this requirement has always been in place, but we (and others) are getting reports that the police are beginning to strictly enforce this rule now. As someone who once spent far too many hours in an ice cold police station in remotest Russia for having failed to do this, my best advice is that registration is worth it.

Syncing My Friends, Feeling the Social Media Burn
2008-07-08 19:43:00 I?ve been looking into ways to get my followers in sync between the various services I?m using, mainly FriendFeed, Twitter, Facebook, and Identi.ca. It?s not easy. Of course there?s the Twitter 2 FriendFeed Importer, but ultimately, adding contacts is still very much a manual process these days. I tend to batch this process on ...

My Vlog On Friends, Race, Depression, and Consideration
2008-06-30 04:33:00 I created this "vlog" (video-blog) to deal with and talk about a problem I've had with certain friends.Perhaps you've had the same problem where some of your, in my case, friends who are White (or the reverse or generally interracial) don't give you proper "consideration" in your friendship, where consideration is a kind of contract that all friendships have -- a contract of basic expectations of treatment.In other words, while you call them, they don't call you, or if you are dealing with someone who's racist, they tell you that you "see racism" rather than coming to your aide.Or they are your friends as long as they're able to take advantage of you or get information from you, but when they get around their friends, you suddenly don't exist.I'd like to know your response to my video and your view.Thanks.

WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF "JUST GOOD FRIENDS"
2008-06-23 14:45:00 R&B star RIHANNA insists the press have got it wrong about her romance with CHRIS BROWN, because they are "just good friends".The pair has been inseparable for months, vacationing together, being photographed smooching and even exchanging expensive jewellery and getting matching tattoos etched - seemingly confirming they are romantically involved.But the Umbrella hitmaker insists they are only friends, and are definitely not sleeping together.During an appearance on U.S. TV show The View on Monday (23Jun08), Rihanna said, "We hang out a lot. We are very close. He's an amazing person. But we are not dating. We are very close, very, very close."When grilled on the difference between their friendship and 'dating', Rihanna replied, "There's a big difference and I think you know what."SOURCEBasically, Rihanna is saying that her and Chris are friends with benefits. When you have that type of understanding then you are not dating. What you have is an understanding....

Tell Me Who Your Friends Are
2008-06-10 04:52:00 Friendship for many, to include scholarly individuals, is actually some sort of an informal category without specific limitations or boundaries. Like when you say a person is a friend, you do not say that he is your friend in school, or he is your friend in the office or a friend in any category of undertaking. Usually, friendship would indicate mutual relationship that you give and take for each other with a time span that will always depend on each party concerned. The degree of friendship would usually be dependent on the circumstances that resulted to such relationship. The degree of friendship with a classmate at school will be different than the degree of friendship with a neighbor friend. Even in work, the ties of friendship a person has with his co-employees in an office work will be different from the ties of friendship between soldiers. In most cases, the degree of dependency among one another in a particular undertaking, would measure the degree of friendship among them. ...

COLDPLAY - VIVA LA VIDA OR DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS
2008-06-08 01:38:00 mp3 Format | 128 kbps | Genre: Rock | 42 MBColdplay?s fourth album, due out on June 12th, will be called Viva la Vida. Singer Chris Martin chose it after seeing the phrase, which means ?long live life,? on a painting by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, who endured polio, a broken spine, and chronic pain for decades. ?She went through a lot of shit, of course, and then she started a big painting in her house that said ?Viva la Vida,?? says Martin. ?I just loved the boldness of it.?Of course, Frida Kahlo will not be the first name that jumps to most people's minds when they hear the phrase. ?Everyone thinks it comes from Ricky Martin, which is fine. I have absolute respect,? says the singer, who gave Coldplay its original name, Pectoralz, and named his children Apple and Moses. ?I?ve been through this before, naming something or someone and everyone saying that ?That?s a terrible name?. But then saying, ?Well, f*ck you, that?s what it?s called, and I?ll be proved to b...

The Passionate Friends
2008-06-07 00:31:00 The Passionate FriendsPlotWhen two young lovers, Mary and Steven, are separated, she finds herself marrying an older man despite nursing a broken heart. Years later they meet again and have one last fling together in the Alps.ReviewDavid Lean was director-for-hire on this adaptation of an H.G. Wells novel to relieve producer Ronald Neame of a problematic project. As a consequence, the film is meticulous and highly cinematic but passionless, with Ann Todd struggling to convey the turmoil she faces after meeting old flame Trevor Howard while enduring a loveless marriage to Claude Rains. Indeed, there?s more warmth in Guy Green?s Alpine landscapes than Todd?s icy demeanour, as she weighs up whether she prefers ardour to material comfort. It?s a fascinating snapshot of middle-class mores during the post-War socialist revolution, but it cries out for a heroine of Celia Johnson?s sensitivity. VerdictIt?s a fascinating snapshot of middle-class mores during the post-War socialist revolution...
