The Rum Punch Review ("The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox,", Part 2).
2009-03-27 16:43:00 Read Part 1 of this Review Here.I finished The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox over a week ago, but am only now just getting around to posting the second half of the Rum Punch Review. I could say that I deliberately took the time to think about it, let it settle in, let the book digest a little, like I do now with dinner (Burritos) instead of just going straight to the dessert (2 cheeseburgers.)Or I could say that I was distracted by coming up with the 5 Traits Most Commonly Seen In Waukesha County, Wisconsin, which is what I did this morning while waiting for a court hearing to begin. I was standing by the Courthouse entrance, waiting for my client, and had plenty of time to observe people and determine the 5 Traits, and also to determine that one sheriff's deputy was having a really bad day and also that he lied to the maintenance guy.The deputy came in, hurriedly, and then knocked the top of a little pole that had an "Exit" sign on, and then swore (under his breath) and then shoo...
The Rum Punch Review ("The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox," Part 1)
2009-03-06 16:22:00 Here are some things I've recommended to people this week:1. I recommended to a client that we make a settlement offer.2. I recommended that The Boy read Soon I Will Be Invincible.3. I recommended that Sweetie and I see Watchmen tonight on an Imax screen, because I've never seen an Imax movie, and4. I recommended that a co-worker put some "cheese sauce" on her breakfast sandwich, which was toast and cream cheese and alfalfa sprouts.To that, I will now add:5. I recommend people read The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, but6. I recommend they not think it's gothic at all, or not much.One of the things that lured me into reading The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, by Maggie O'Farrell, was that either the back cover, or maybe a review of the book, said something about it being gothic. Being a literary guy and all, I didn't take that to mean gothic the way Twilight fans think of it; instead, I took it to mean gothic in the Disquiet, Edgar-Allen-Poe-y manner.[THEMATIC SPOILER ALER...
The Vanishing Bee
2008-06-01 00:15:00 Honeybees are vanishing at an alarming rate from 24 US states, threatening the production of numerous crops. The cause of the losses, which range from 30% to more than 70%, is a mystery, but experts are investigating several theories. American bee colonies have been hit by regional crises before, but keepers say this is the first national crisis.However, I am not in America and nor was this bee.

Looking At the Vanishing American Dream
2008-05-06 11:17:00 The distribution of income in the United States is becoming more unequal! Labor still captures about two-thirds of national income, but only skilled workers have benefited. See *Rich Nation, poor NationAsia's crony capitalism has proved that it isn't ready for prime time. Europe's mixed economies perch on a powder keg of 20 percent youth unemployment.America - Get RealIn the American system - for the last quarter century, virtually all the rewards of growth have gone to the educated, enterprising and already affluent. See *As Cheap Oil EndsAmericans are delusional, They think they can continue living the way they?ve been living for the last 50 years. They think the key to it is to find a way to keep getting fuel.For Americans, the American way of life is non-negotiable. The trouble is, Americans may not be willing to negotiate. But if they don?t, they are going to find that someone else is negotiating for them. And that someone else is called reality.Higher fuel prices will chan...

2007-10-08 18:38:00 Octopus Eats SharkThe octopus eats shark video can be viewed Video Google. The Video filmed at the Seattle aquarium shows how an octopus was moved from its old tank because it grew too big for it. The octopus now in a large tank with sharks was thought to be safe with its strength and camouflage to protect it.Each week shark carcasses where found at the bottom of the tank, the way the sharks had died was a complete mystery to them. Week after week the 3-4 foot sharks where vanishing, so one night one of the keepers decided to stay up and see what was happening. That night they learned something about the octopus that they could never have imagined; the octopus was killing the sharks and eating them. Shark Attack Video Shark Attacks Shark Attacks

Iraq, Iran, & the Vanishing Context in American News
2007-08-21 20:37:00 By Anthony DiMaggio It?s no coincidence that the American corporate media is the wealthiest communication systems in the world, yet also one of the worst in terms of educating its citizens. Extraordinary riches require extraordinary efforts to divert public attention from extreme inequality and the democratic deficit under which Americans suffer. Despite the abundance ...

To perform this trick you must twirl a handkerchief into aropelike shape, and then hold it between the index and middle fingers of each hand, palmsup, as shown in Figure 1.Take the end in your right hand (if you are right handed) and lay it between the thumb andforefinger of the left hand, as in Figure 2.In Figure 2 you are still holding onto part of the handkerchief with your right hand. Use your right hand to position that part of the hankerchief between the second and third fingers of the left hand, as you reach through the loop with your right hand and grasp the closest dangling end (Figure 3).Pull that end through the loop, being certain to keep your grip on the part of the handkerchief between the left second and third fingers (Figure 4). As you pull the end through with your right hand, you will ...

October 1993 – The Vanishing Husband
2007-04-01 00:00:00 As you might expect, when my family moved to the small Midwest town that was to become our home, we created a certain amount of interest from our new neighbors. Give that we were moving in to a small community, that most of our things had arrived almost a week before we did (thus giving our neighbors plenty of time to speculate on who we were), and particularly given that my Mother was a white woman with two Asian children in tow, we created quite a bit o interest For the most part, out new neighbors just wanted to know the normal things. Such as who we were, where we had come from, and what we were like. What created the real stir, though, and caused some less conventional questions to come to mind, was that, even after my Mother had settled us in to our new home, no husband arrived to support her. In Kyoto In Kyoto, pretty much everybody that I had know had known that I didn't have a father at home. They knew by the way that I never mentioned my father, and by the way t...

The Mystery of the Vanishing Paint Brushes
2007-02-13 00:50:01 I thought I was suffering from early dementia. Over the several months of this bedroom renovation I've lost like four paint brushes. I'd clean them and stick them... hell, I don't know where. I just couldn't find them again. I found two of them today, laying on the floor at the rear of my new closet. I know I didn't put them there. With all the construction crap that was stuffed in there, the only life forms that could get back there are my two cats and one of my two dogs. Or maybe a poltergeist screwing with me. The reason I found them is because my new closet doors arrived from InteriorDoors.com. read more |
