    kids

    I find kids intimidating and fascinating. Still don't have much of an urge to have one myself, even though I'm "running out of time" to do it biologically.. it's weird to deal with the idea that I could basically make the decision never to have one through inaction. but I get weirded out...

    Beat-mixing tunes at different tempos

    as you listen more, and get to know the tunes, you get a sense of each tunes' shape, and that helps you figure out how to line them up with each other. Some tunes (really some genres) have a pretty predictable pattern of buildup, breakdown, buildup again, etc.. others are more linear. The...

    Bless

    which it sounded like you were saying was a rationale for NOT using condoms when one has sex with one of those women (or men who doesn't use'em).. I guess I misunderstood. because that (the fact that they don't use condoms) is a pretty good argument for USING condoms with them, especially if you...

    Clothes

    I meant to post before, zhao you can get a layer added to the soles that makes them more grippy. It's invisible from above, but handy if you're really losing your balance. There used to be (2 years ago) a cobbler on Pappelallee near Eberswalder str. U-Bahn, pretty close to the station..

    Things You've Always Wanted To Know

    big up for shouting out S.E. Hinton but at least in the places I've seen undercover cops, they have sometimes worn big awful poofy white sneakers- jock-type sneakers. That and their necks (equally big & jock-like) are one of the first clues. I remember that from the Miami FTAA protests and many...

    The Myth of the Noble Mob Leader

    if you point is just that some versions of "the mob" have some bad effects, I'm not going to argue against it, because that's obvious. Of course there's a lot of governments where nothing gets done without a mob to blame, too. Mr. Tea also addressed some of your argument, regarding southern...

    The Myth of the Noble Mob Leader

    Yeah, I'm with scottdisco (& wikipedia I guess :/ ) I think there is more to that myth in the context of immigrant narratives.. in the US at least. I don't know how it is elsewhere, but in the US many "mobs" of the past, particularly Irish and Italian ones, were immigrant family organizations...

    Recording phne interviews - what do I need?

    skype & wiretap or other recorder. free, decent quality. Transcriva is mac-friendly software that helps you transcribe, too. It doesn't do it for you but it adds enough features that transcription & note-taking tagged to the audio file (if I remember right) are possible. the free version is a...

    Sci-Fi novels

    thought I'd update that as Robinson's _Years of Rice and Salt_ moves closer to present day it gets less and less good. Finding his treatment of Africans and sub-Saharan Africa to be really disturbing, his discussion of Islam problematic (especially in that his discussion of Islam in a world...

    Teaching

    for the ambitious, this anthropology teacher (who wins lots of awards as an anthropologist and a teacher) has a funny but daunting description of the pitfalls of powerpoint and the value of using more interactive screen stuff in his teaching...

    The Rise of the Female Foreign Minister

    I haven't looked at the numbers myself.. if that is the case I can see how that could be an interesting trend, but I don't know what it could be correlated with, without even more specifics - what else those particular countries have in common in themselves or in terms of their global political...
