I see the Wolfe is at the door!

Me to play.

A stone, a leaf, an unfound door; of a stone, a leaf, a door. And of all the forgotten faces. Naked and alone we came into exile. In her dark womb we did not know our mother's face; from the prison of her flesh we come into the unspeakable and incommunicable prison of this earth. Which of us has known his brother? Which of us has looked into his father's heart? Which of us has not remained forever prison-pent? Which of us is not forever a stranger and alone? O waste of loss, in the hot mazes, lost, among bright stars on this most weary unbright cinder, lost! Remembering speechlessly we seek the great forgotten language, the lost lane-end into heaven, a stone, a leaf, an unfound door. Where? When? O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again.

When I was a kid, we had a cat who would sit on the kitchen windowsill, "looking out the window, like us cats do", at dinnertime. Of course, he'd then surreptitiously, slowly, turn his head around, and gaze at the food on our plates, with malice aforethought. If we all looked at him and "caught" him, it was hysterical... he'd slowly, with feigned nonchalance, turn his head back around and resume "looking out the window, like us cats do". If he could have whistled that classic "just minding my own business" tune, he would have.

Women only hear properly when gossiping or eavesdropping

More than two thirds of women admitted that a gossip with friends is the only time they are properly listening to what is being said.

The same percentage think they hear most intently when they are trying to eavesdrop on an argument taking place nearby.

One in four women spy on partners. Only half of men said they only hear properly when gossiping, while four in 10 admitted to listening closely to other people's conversations.

The poll of 2,000 people also found that more than one in five men reckon they always listen carefully to every word, and while less than one in five of women said the same.

US report blames Taliban for civilian deaths

"The investigation suggests that villagers had taken refuge in a number of houses in each village. Reports also indicate that Taliban fighters deliberately forced villagers into houses from which they then attacked ANSF (Afghan security forces) and Coalition forces," a statement from the U.S. coalition said.

Neither the U.S. nor Afghan forces took responsibility for killing civilians in Saturday's statement. A second U.S. statement said villagers seeking medical treatment told Afghan doctors that militants were fighting from rooftops while forcing the villagers to remain in their compound.

"The joint investigation team strongly condemns the brutality of the Taliban extremists deliberately targeting Afghan civilians and using them as human shields," the statement said.

Other groups expressed concern for the investigative process. Human Rights Watch on Saturday blasted the U.S. military and said the attack was likely to be "the largest and most tragic loss of life to U.S. bombs so far in Afghanistan."

I recall a study that was in the news a year or so ago, comparing ability in men vs women to recall parts of 1-on-1 conversations accurately, in a restaurant or similar test situation. When there were ongoing background conversations nearby, ie, at other tables, the women scored more poorly than the men. Otherwise, the test subjects performed about the same.

EU parliament blocks Jean-Marie Le Pen from chairing inaugural session

The European Parliament tweaked its house rules on Wednesday to prevent French extreme-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen from chairing the chamber at its next inaugural session.
The parliament voted massively in favour of changing a rule which calls for its inaugural sessions to be chaired by the assembly's oldest member, which Le Pen, 80, would be if he were re-elected in June European elections.
Under the change, the previous president will preside over the parliament in its first session after elections until a new president can be decided.
The main political groups agreed in March to stop Le Pen from presiding over the chamber after he insisted that the Nazi death camps were a "detail of Second World War history," repeating a statement originally made in 1987 that shocked France.

Without much loss of functionality, a cheaper approach to this is: drive a stake in the middle of your lawn; tie a rope to it; tie the other end of the rope to the lawn mower, with enough slack to reach the edge of your lawn. Start mower, tape dead-man switch in position, walk away, and let the mower drive in ever-smaller circles as it winds itself up on the stake.

I off this solution free to the world.

Well, most people seem to be enjoying the movie quite a lot. So you might, too.

It's colorful and fast. Several of the actors do a great job, or, at least, as good a job as the director asked of them. Everything has is a lot of flash, very little depth. I didn't hate it, but I won't bother to see it again.

It's not a travesty in the way that the Star Wars prequels are. But it doesn't have the heart or guts or brains that Batman Begins does.
