The two other parts [Moore] played from the '50s are so different from Evelyn Ryan. The character she played in The Hours was a woman who fled the oppression of her home. Evelyn Ryan stayed. She chose to brave it out, because she was determined to make sure every one of those 10 kids of hers made it out of that house intact. It's heroic.

I grew up in dirt-poor hillbilly country. We lived this dry-below-the-waist kind of scene. If you were a sensual woman you were in league with that which is un-Christlike. Where I come from, a cockroach is a roach, and a cockerel is a rooster because they can't bring themselves to say cock.

It's a fact that these perceptions lag reality -- it's not terribly uncommon for the economy to be doing better and better when you get to election day, but people feel the economy's in a funk. The latest example of that was Bush's father.

These cans of energy drinks have some enticing, very sexy-sounding claims -- that they lift you up, that they give you more energy. Frankly, they're nothing much more than caffeine in a can with a lot of sugar.

Hannah will catch that ball more times than not. Part of the issue is the lack of quality practice time that we've had. Yes, it's late in the year, but how much of the practice time have we missed. A play that you should make will be harder on you.

Today's arrests are an attempt to suppress any vocal opposition to the king, or his attempts to win legitimacy by holding elections. Silencing the leadership, the king hopes, will silence the people. Such actions belie his stated belief in democratic principles and the rule of law.

For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.
