The old philosophical saw asks if a tree falls in a forest, and no one hears it, did it make any sound? The answer is yes, because sound waves exist whether or not you hear them. If 100 million people are killed and the press doesn’t report it, is it news? The answer is no. […]

This item caught my eye today: Alcohol stronger after obesity surgery. The research team gave 36 men and women – 19 who had obesity surgery and 17 who did not – five ounces of red wine each to drink in 15 minutes. Using a breathalyzer, their alcohol levels were measured every five minutes until it […]
Usually we who are older see our docs regularly, and probably get our shots. This is an essay on shots for people over age 40, who sometimes forget about these things, and often are not sick enough to see a doctor regularly. The big ones that come to mind are the yearly flu shots, which […]
The Supreme Court bestowed on Goldman Sachs and other large investment banks a new shield from antitrust claims, throwing out lawsuits that accused the securities industry of rigging more then 900 initial public offerings.

Many Pennsylvanians do not like the way things are going in their commonwealth. In a new poll released by PennFuture, an alternative energy advocacy group, 47 percent of respondents believe that the state is heading in the “wrong direction†with 38 percent believing the opposite. When asked about the No. 1 problem facing Pennsylvanians today, […]
Yesterday, the New York Times had an article stating that “Giuliani is Both Hailed and Hated†among Firefighters in New York. The issues indicated on the “hate†side appeared to be of a personal nature, while the “praise†side of the debate was backed by objective, measurable statistics as well as personal qualities. Two main […]

My mind is drawn to that last bastion of common sense (and potty humor), South Park.
The thing about Pisco is, he can’t catch a break. The kid is winless. But he keeps moving, keeps reaching despite the waves of destruction that follow him. Surfing his wake is worth the risk, though. Michael Standaert takes the reader on one hell of a trip in The Adventures of the Pisco Kid.
This week marks the one year anniversary of Darren Mack’s murder of his estranged wife and shooting of a Nevada judge. The event is being recounted in several articles, including One Year Anniversary Haunts Reno (KREN, 6/12/07) and the more detailed Violence reverberates through lives (Reno Gazette-Journal, 6/10/07). I’ve written about Mack on numerous occasions, including […]
Selmer Tennessee was the site of tragedy this weekend. During a “burn out†exhibition, the driver of an AMS Pro Modified race car lost control and went spinning into the crowd.

Original V a Must For Genre Fans By Kristin Battestella Need some old-fashioned special effects in your sc-fi? Forget that opus opening to Independence Day, today’s genre filmmakers grew up V. The groundbreaking four hour 1983 miniseries may look hokey today, but the story, characters, and drama are top-notch. The all-star cast helps, too. When […]
“We can become much stronger,†said laugh-a-minute standup megalomaniac Oscar Lafontaine. And how right he was for possibly the first time ever in his “short†little life, I think. His newly-formed Left Party in Germany certainly couldn’t become much weaker. The Left Party, a bizarre marriage between the successor to the former East German communists […]
It’s Alive! Living Eyes is Alive! by Kristin Battestella To start off describing this album, can I tell you how much my heart skipped a beat when I found this record at a thrift shop? (Actually it turned out it was the empty sleeve, but anyway!) Perhaps more so the Bee Gees ‘lost album’ than […]
Are you ready for your Main Course? by Kristin Battestella The Bee Gees launched their second career with this 1975 release.  The brothers had changed their sound, and did not appear on the album cover. (I had a tough time explaining to my niece why the cover picture is a naked lady in a spoon!)  […]
Aren’t we all just Children of The World? by Kristin Battestella Not that I’m one to disagree with the Brothers Gibb ;0) Children of The World is their smash 1976 release. The boys step up their success for Main Course with this album, what fans in the know consider to be their true ‘disco’ album. […]
Let’s Get Horizontal! by Kristin Battestella Horizontal is the Bee Gee second English released album. It also has the coolest looking cover in my opinion. In this 1968 release the brothers are breaking away from their prior Beatle-esque sound and going for a more psychedelic British Invasion pop. The album begins strongly with World. It’s […]
Twelve Good Years by first time author Stephen Anthony begins with the idea that as we age, we can remain vital and interested, as well as interesting. This book is a look at a life after 65 that is relatively carefree and filled with as much adventure as one wishes. There is no Alzheimer’s, no […]
I’m not sure why I have the itch to review Walls Have Eyes. by Kristin Battestella I already did a Robin solo review, so why do another? Frankly, I think this is a very interesting album, to say the least, and one that should be heard. Walls to me is more a Bee Gees album […]
From The Gathering Storm Blog Yesterday I wrote a post giving examples of an organized resistance developing to counter the Islamist agenda, and for now, leaving the fight up those anti-jihadist in the private sector who ‘get it’. Well, it’s be slow in coming but the political leadership is getting an earful of what we […]
So, Size Isn’t Everything, eh? by Kristin Battestella Paying For The Price Of Love leads off this 1993 Bee Gees album and was a solid hit for The Brothers outside of America. It’s beat driven tone is akin to the previous album, High Civilization, but it doesn’t seem as dark. Paying for the Price of […]
Mr. Natural 70s Vintage by Kristin Battestella What to say about Mr. Natural? Fans either seem to love or hate this one, but it should definately not be dismissed as it had been. Released in 1974, The Brothers were in a transition period, and the album was mostly ignored, although I don’t know why. Charade […]
No Trouble with Still Waters by Kristin Battestella The Bee Gees were doing well in 1997. Hall of Fame Induction, the One Night Only wave. Twenty years after disco a whole generation of new fans were hearing the Bee Gees for the first time. I myself was one of these. My father had to force me to […]
