Spooks, Specters and Spoofs - More Tales From The Cold War
2011-12-05 20:49:00 In the introductory article I made mention of the well known Russian psychic Nina Kulagina. There is enough black and white film evidence that still survives today that begs the question, did she really have the powers to remotely control objects? Do photographs and video prove facts, or not? That is a very deep question. A good ...

The Ann of Two Tales
2011-10-26 00:06:00 Ann Althouse I like Professor Althouse’s blog. However to do make to claims to understand the good professor. While I am not certain, of where the professor stands, I do find this two recent posts of her amusing. Item, gender feminists find that reality does not conform to gender feminist theory: 142 legal secretaries surveyed and not one preferred working with a woman partner. Why? Lawprof Felice Batlan elicited these comments: Gender feminists face meet reality and find it refuses to conform to their theories. Solution, make fiction conform to gender feminist theory: “Realistic portraits of the women of animated Disney films.” A Metafilter post with comments like: “I’ve never seen Hercules. Does Megara look that drunk and horny in the movie?” And: “See these Disney characters? See how they are really gorgeous and skinny but they’re animated? Imagine what they’d look like if they were gorgeous and skinny and looked like very hig...

More tales from the networking world ...
2011-03-24 04:55:00 Well, I didn't have any "industry" profile this week, no "guest post", nor other handy thing lined up to bring to you today, so I guess you're stuck with my regaling you about my latest networking adventures. As regular readers will recall, I try to get out to 2-4 events a week, but haven't been making that many of late. This week, however, I'm already up to 3, having had two yesterday, a breakfast featuring one of the authors of Content Rules, and a Chicago Tweet-Up in the evening that was a fund-raiser benefiting the Red Cross' relief efforts in Japan. Tonight I was off at Ignite Chicago to help my P2PMicroversity associate Ed Hubbard with his presentation. This is...
Tales from Camelback Ranch: White Sox Spring Training Photos
2011-03-17 05:25:00 Remember when I said I'd have some kind of update before Wednesday this week? I lied. I'm sorry. I have set out to make this up to you with pictures from Spring Training. And not the good ones you see in the newspaper. Ridiculous ones that I took myself. Enjoy them. Today was interesting. My family arrived 2 hours early to Camelback Ranch to attempt to switch our tickets with tickets in the shade. My genius parents decided when they ordered tickets that the 10th row would be far up enough to get under the overhang thingy. Guess what? It's not. As I learned on the news yesterday, Wednesday March 16th was the first 90 degree day of the year! Goody!...

Berman noted it's important not to jump to conclusions when seeing potentially suspicious behavior by a friend's significant other. A: You see your friend's partner flirting with another girl at a restaurant. Your friend's partner had said she would be out of town.BERMAN SAYS: You should walk up to your friend's partner and say, "Hey! Good to see you. I thought you were going to be out of town." Be very casual about it, not accusatory. Once she knows you...

Rogers Park Tales Historical Tidbit
2010-11-04 05:06:00 One of my neighbors told me today this Rogers Park north of Howard Street community was created on practical grounds. Evanston didn't want to have to run its sewer lines under the Calvary Cemetery, so the city ceded this little parcel of land to Chicago in 1915. What used to be called "No-Man's Land," according to the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society became Germania.The north of Howard Street section of Rogers Park was part of Evanston, IL, until 1915.

30 Rock star Kevin Brown-Dotcom!-tells tales on Tracy Morgan!
2010-07-03 05:04:00 By BOB ANDELMAN When Tracy Jordan?s bodyguards made their first entrance on NBC?s soon-to-be-a-hit ?30 Rock,? you would have been excused for expecting them to be a one-time sight gag. Who were these two men disguised as city skyscrapers? -------------- LISTEN TO KEVIN "DOTCOM" BROWN INTERVIEW! -------------- But even as Tracy Jordan became more defined as the show developed in that first season, the roles of his entourage, Grizz and Dotcom, were refined and grew distinguished. The twin towers found their niche as brilliant supporting characters, one or the other often defining a scene with a shrug, an eye roll or a gentle quip. They, unlike Tracy?played by Tracy Morgan, of course?were in on the joke with the rest of us. I had the good fortune to interview Grizz Chapman a few weeks ago and he must have said good things to his friend and partner Kevin Brown, who plays Dotcom, because he?s going to join us in a moment. But who are Grizz and Dotcom? The legend ? an...

Arresting Tales and Prince the Pimp--Big in Japan
2010-05-27 19:21:00 Even though I was embarrassed once before by the Japanese media, I still like seeing when Arresting Tales gets mentioned by a foreign website. I noticed a spike in traffic, did a little checking, and discovered that a lot of it was coming from this website: These folks were kind enough to link to last week's post about Jersey City Pimp Allen E. "Prince" Brown and his special going-to-court hairstyle. They used some of the photos that appeared in my post, and found a few more as well. Arresting Tales' adroit team of linguists has provided me with a translation:"Wait, what that guy's hair?"

An Arresting Tales anthology of police use-of-force stories

When I go in later this morning I'll be physically loaded down with articles and notes from the conference; I'll be mentally loaded with ideas on how to take what I've learned and apply it to the training in my department.I heard a student in one class say something that I have often thought--we in law enforcement do not do a good job of "selling" what we do to the public, especially as it applies to why and how we use force. This goes for everything from how we act on traffic stops to why we sometimes have to shoot and kill "unarmed" people. Violence...
Saturday Cubs Headlines: Further Tales from the Pigpen
2010-04-10 12:46:00 Let's hear it for the Brisbane Lions!Sorry if you're not an Aussie rules football fan or a woman or a gay man, but I didn't want another pig picture today. I almost feel bad for comparing pigs to the bullpen so far this year. In case you weren't watching/listening/haven't read a recap, the bullpen once again ruined a stellar start in spectacular fashion against the Reds last night.They suffered another bullpen blowup in Friday night's 5-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, as rookie reliever Esmailin Caridad walked the first two batters of the eighth inning and later gave up a grand slam to Drew Stubbs as the Reds rallied from a 3-1 deficit.Though to be fair, the offense should bear...
Alex Machacek: "24 Tales"
2010-04-08 11:34:00 Alex Machacek (Guitars and everything else); Marco Minnemann (Drums); Sumitra (Vocals-1 track); Martin Ptak (Trombone-3 tracks) Buy http://www.abstractlogix.com/xc-art/product.php?productid=24562- With his provocative new release "24 Tales", Alex Machacek has sought an inventive new context for both his incredibly fluid, precise guitar work and his expanding compositional vision. This is how it all began: Marco Minnemann gave Alex Machacek and several other musicians (Trey Gunn, Mike Keneally, John Czajkowski, Mario Brinkmann and Phi Yaan-Zek) a 51 minute drum solo to compose to. Minnemann also composed his own version. The whole project ran under the title "Normalizer 2" (Minnemann released "Normalizer" based on the same concept several years ago). Minnemann's solo is a kaleidoscopic rush of rhythmic, textural, and even melodic devices, all improvised without a click track became the backdrop for "24 Tales". An astonishingly musical effort, nearly symphonic in its vast range of ...

Nevertheless, Vaughn (a Lake Forest native), Akerman ("Watchmen"), and Vaughn's pal/first-time feature director Peter Billingsley (who you may know as Ralphie in "A Christmas Story") walked the red carpet to promote the comedy, which opens Friday.

Book Review: Speech-less: Tales Of A White House Survivor By Matt Latimer
2009-09-23 02:37:00 By Loyd Eskildson Finding himself with a law degree and lured by the upbeat themes of the Reagan revolution, Matt heads to Washington, D.C. and snares a series of jobs with powerful figures on Capitol Hill, beginning as an assistant for Senator Spencer Abraham (R, MI) for $25,000 in 1996. Two moves later Matt was with Senator Kyl (R, AZ), and then off to Secretary Rumsfeld's office as a speech writer. En route, Matt drops dirt on several prominent senators (Abraham, E. Dole, McCain) for various reasons - detached/MIA, dumb, terrifying temper, and briefly comments on Ann Coulter (likes). Latimer was surprised to find Rumsfeld's hands tied on hiring decisions involving relatively low-level and reportedly less than stellar performers - the White House (Karl Rove) apparently had a long reach. Latimer was frustrated for a time by their Machiavellian machinations blocking him from meeting regularly with Sec. Rumsfeld. Latimer reports that he could have stayed with incoming Se...
