No, 'Where the Wild Things Are' Cannot Ruin the Book
2009-10-16 14:03:00 Photo courtesy of Warner Bros.Glib, uninteresting people are fond of saying the following phrase: "Oh, the movie totally ruined the book." First of all, a movie cannot "ruin" a book. A writer, director and actors can do a poor job of adapting a movie from a book, but this does not suddenly render the book inert. The book is still the same thing. You can still read it and it will have the same words as before anyone ever dreamed of turning it into a movie. You know what ruins a book? If the author turns out to be a Nazi. But short of the "secret Nazi" development, your precious book will be just fine. People say this phrase...
Yet another advance that will ruin me
2009-08-19 18:26:00 I’m not good at cellphones. I just am not. I’m mean to them, and I frequently keep them in pockets they apparently hate, judging by their constant attempts to jump out of them and into giant puddles and concrete floors. I’ve resigned myself to keeping only “old person” cell phones - the ...

Some People Are Determined to Ruin Gainesville
2009-01-15 22:52:00 And no, I’m not talking about Gator fans. The Gainesville Charter Amendment is going on the March 24th ballot and is sponsored by a group calling itself “Citizens for Good Public Policy.” This amendment will repeal protections in housing, employment, and public accommodations for homosexuals. If you are worried about the erosion of tolerance and seek to stop those who would destroy Gainesville’s reputation as an inclusive community, you can - write a letter to the editor of The Gainesville Sun. tell a friend. fight with Facebook. get more involved.
In Their Ruin
2008-11-17 03:40:00 #48 -- "The Boys of Summer" by Roger KahnGeez, I seem to have read a lot about baseball this year -- more than I've read about any sport I actually, you know, watch here in 2008. I'm relatively sure I read this one as a kid, but I probably wasn't too interested -- the Brooklyn Dodgers weren't even around any more, I wanted to read about teams like the Astros and Blue Jays! My loss (if I did indeed read it and dismiss it) -- one of the finer baseball books I've read. I was really, really impressed by this, beautifully written, honest and unsparing. Makes me wonder what else I missed out on when I was young.* * *Staying with baseball: there's a new blog set up devoted to the 1978 Topps baseball card set, which were my favorite cards as a kid -- though I didn't start buying cards until two seasons later. In about sixth grade, I bought a shoebox full of these cards at a garage sale, and I loved those cards like no others -- I'll eternally remember them as having perfect photogra...
Photo Hunt #32: Ruin(ed)
2008-11-15 04:27:00 These are just some of the ghost villas of Kep. Kep, in its heydays, was once a favourite holiday town of the French colonial masters and the Cambodian elites. The villas fell into ruin during the 70s when the Khmer Rouge took over and systematically burned and destroyed all the villas and murdered its occupants. This is probably what the Khmer Rouge meant when they declared Year Zero. At present, some of the villas are occupied but most are abandoned and lying in ruins. Vegetation has set in covering the remnants but one can still see the grandiose details of the villas alongside bullet holes and burn marks. The villas are but mere reminders of the golden days of Kep, and, ironically, of the cruelty of the Khmer Rouge regime that ravaged the entire country. The first time I visited Kep was in 2002 and the sight of these decaying villas gave me shivers. To me, Kep, then, had a ghost-town feel to it. These days, however, Kep is undergoing a massive transformation. The once thick jung...

Star-Crossed Lovers Create Road to Ruin in ?Before the Rains?
2008-05-14 05:37:00 CHICAGO ? By its very nature, colonialism is bad karma waiting to happen. You are a sovereign nation with weaponry and a desire for treasure. While you invade and take over a country with that treasure, it also comes with a society you don?t understand. You stir in religious dogma, native slavery and the defiling of lands and create an evil stew that?s ripe to boil over. The country of India was a prime example of this scenario. The British got their bad karma handed back to them as depicted in the new film ?Before the Rains?. Read Patrick McDonald?s full review of ?Before the Rains? in our reviews section.View our full, high-resolution ?Before the Rains? image gallery. Set in 1937, the film begins with a British spice baron named Henry Moores (Linus Roache) who?s surveying a mountain upon which he plans to build a road. His right-hand man, T.K.

Affordable Auto Insurance Rate - Don’t Let Your Home Ruin It
2008-05-04 09:52:00 What has my place of residence got to do with getting an affordable auto insurance rate? A lot! The crucial thing is to find out if it is compelling you to pay more or less. You may find this hard to believe unless you are versed in insurance matters. Nevertheless, there are things you can do to actually use your home to attract better premiums. You understand quite well that insurers ask for your home address and likely your office address depending on your profile. They do so for obvious reasons. Among other reasons is the fact that they have to check the level of risk connected with your area. Let us take, for example, that you reside in an area that has high rush hour traffic or regular high traffic (Or an area that has high car theft records). If that describes your community then and you have to drive through to work each and every day then you should be ready to pay a little more than people who reside in neighborhoods that never experience much traffic. This is where many pe...

Reasons for opulence and happiness and causes for ruin
2008-04-20 22:11:00 Reasons for opulence and happiness and causes for ruin By Gamini Jayasinghe - Daily MirrorMore than two thousand five hundred years ago, Buddha enunciated four causes that lead to weal and happiness in this world and four other causes for the spiritual progress, conducive to the good and happiness of a noble son in the other world. The Exalted One also enunciated twelve causes for some one to face a ruinous state. On one occasion, the Blessed One was dwelling amongst the Kolians, His maternal relatives in the town named Kakkarapatta. A Kolian son named Dighajanu approached Him and requested Him to preach the Doctrine or things that lead to weal and happiness in this world and things conducive to the good and happiness in the other world.

Spammers Ruin Everything
2008-04-17 18:24:00 Unfortunately because of an increase in spammers leaving bogus comments on the blog, I have had to take the dreaded step of adding word verification to the comments. I hate having to do that on other people's blogs, so I apologize that I am asking you to do it as well. I only want your amazing feedback, ideas, suggestions and questions and I don't want to dilute the content with unwanted spam. If it turns out that the comments really start to suffer from this then I will reverse it and just keep manually deleting the spam as it appears. For those that don’t know what the heck I am talking about, what this means is that when you leave a comment from now on, it will ask you to type in some letters/ numbers in a box first to make sure you are a human and not some spam. It only takes a few seconds to do, but it is an annoyance that I wish we didn’t have to do. ** Update- 5/7/08: Also another annoyance is when people leave comments that are simply to sell something they are promot...
