I was intrigued. The book is an homage to the early movies, it is the story of a child’s perserverence, a story of hope, and from a literacy perspective it is a fascinating hybrid of photos, still shots from movies, original art, and typographic text. The photos and still shots supplement the t 2008-05-11 16:25:06 PDT http://technorati.com/search/procrastadabbler.edublogs.org/2008/05/11/not-a-childrens-book-invention-of-hugo-cabret/ 3 3 Procrastadabbler http://atelier72b.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/markus-lupertz-images-fotoworks-detlev-foth/ http://atelier72b.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/markus-lupertz-images-fotoworks-detlev-foth/ Sun, 11 May 2008 16:02:31 -0700 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_L%C3%BCpertz http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detlev_Foth 2008-05-11 16:02:31 PDT http://technorati.com/search/atelier72b.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/markus-lupertz-images-fotoworks-detlev-foth/ 4 5 http://www.realitysphere.com/?p=19 http://www.realitysphere.com/?p=19 Sun, 11 May 2008 15:54:50 -0700 The Ant and the Grasshopper In a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest. “Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in that way?” “I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and recommend you to do the same.” “Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; we have got 2008-05-11 15:54:50 PDT http://technorati.com/search/www.realitysphere.com/?p=19 1 1 The Reality Sphere http://diebelz.blogspot.com/2008/05/en-das-donde-los-charcos-obstaculizan.html http://diebelz.blogspot.com/2008/05/en-das-donde-los-charcos-obstaculizan.html Sun, 11 May 2008 15:22:32 -0700 En días donde los charcos obstaculizan los pasos y se filtran hasta los huesos, en esos días, nada más en esos días, soy capaz de andar.

This is one of those questions I've thought about quite often over the years, but never enough to actually sit down and write out my thoughts. Upon reading her question, I've been given a chance to think it over and put some of my observations to use. I will begin by saying this: my credentials are experiential rather than academic.

On Friday, May 7, 1915, during the heat of World War I, a German U Boat torpedoed the British Cunard Line cruise ship, Lusitania. In 18 minutes, the enormous vessel would sink, 8 miles (13 km) from the Old Head of Kinsale, Ireland. 1,198 men, women and children would lose their lives. Approximately 800 would survive.

Angry that no one ever told me how awesome Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was. I mean, I should have guessed: how can you not be awesome with a name like “Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle”?

We missed small desert towns where we expected to locate more supplies. The horse vanished. Three of the camels died. For the last two days there was no food, only tea. The last link with any other world was the clink of the fire-black tea urn and the long spoon and the glass which came towards us in the darkness of the mornings. After the third night we gave up talking. All that mattered was the fire and the minimal brown liquid.

This one was written some twenty years earlier than The Iceman Cometh, so I was interested to find out if the twenty years younger O'Neill would be similar to the one that wrote The Iceman Cometh. As it turns out, the answer is yes, remarkably so. A developing trend present in both O'Neill plays that I read is the idea of the search for happiness as the ultimate cause of people unhappiness - in Iceman, it was 2008-05-11 14:04:48 PDT http://technorati.com/search/millionwaves.blogspot.com/2008/05/strange-interlude.html 0 0 http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/2008/05/11/links-for-may-11th/ http://www.createdinbirmingham.com/2008/05/11/links-for-may-11th/ Sun, 11 May 2008 14:00:18 -0700 Whatsonstage Midlands "the first site purely dedicated to performance in the Midlands, providing a platform for all the talent and flair that takes place here" Anne Bennett and Annie Murray at Castle Bromwich Library On Thursday 15 May at 10.30am you can listen to two well known local authors Anne Bennett and Annie Murray talking about their different lives and personal experiences of Birmingham.
