„Meanwhile, it becomes more and more clear that the current strategies of MPAA and RIAA to protect their property is working to their disadvantage. The strategy seems to be to make "One last stand" at the curren tmedia formats - adding copy control and watermarking to CDs and DVDs - but these formats are beginning to be obsoleted by networked storage and new devices like MP3 players and new networked 'entertainment centers' like this and this .“

„Now I agree whole-heartedly that this movie is a conversation starter and may be useful in some venues, but what troubled me most is how Irving took decidedly destructive and immoral values (nihilism, relativism, etc.) and passed them along in such a way as to make the audience feel GOOD about them. This is communicated both at a deep level in the moral conflicts Homer faces as well as a surface level that (unfortunately) even children can understand: lying, drug abuse, abortion, fornication, etc. A society which "makes up its rules as it goes along" is a society which will end in chaos.“http://www.hollywoodjesus.com/comments_33.htm - Cached
„Crowded below the cathedral, like tiny saints around the feet of the outsize Madonna in a medieval painting, are the customary various establishments: cafes, butcher shops with impressively hefty veal chops and giant's tongues, leather stores wafting the scent of their vests and jackets into the summer air, small shops selling the local Vietri pottery, sunglasses pricey or cheap, Kodak color film, tuna in jars. At one fruit-and-vegetable store, dried hot peppers hang on strings, labeled with a succinct sales pitch: "Viagra Naturale." And from an upper story drifts the scent of cumin, reminding you that Amalfi, like other southern Italian cities, lives with the memory of its nearness to North Africa. Above it all, the cathedral, begun in the 9th century and finished in the 12th, with its Arab-Norman facade, is most reminiscent of Muslim Spain: four tiers of variously colored arches like lace carved in stone.“http://www.italianimage.com/ravello.html - Cached

„There he became steward of the leading collection of medieval art inthe Western hemisphere -- with holdings spanning the fourth to the sixteenth centuries,from the fall of the Roman Empire to late Gothic in Italy and the North. Reigning from oneof the most remarkable offices in Manhattan -- an upper story in the romanesque tower ofThe Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park, whose double-arched windows frame panoramas of the cityfrom its northern tip to the World Trade Center -- Wixom acquired more masterpieces andorganised more major exhibitions than any other curator of medieval art in the country,coordinating landmark shows such as "The Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis in the Time ofAbbot Suger" (1981), "The Treasure of San Marco" (1985), "Gothic andRenaissance Art in Nuremberg" (1986), and "The Glory of Byzantium" (1997),the latter overview of the middle Byzantine period comprising more than 350 objects from119 lenders in 24 countries. If Wixom's name went largely unnoticed by the public, hisachievements did not: more than 400,000 visitors flocked to "The glory ofByzantium", and annual attendance at The Cloisters today reaches 230,000, comparablewith some of the smaller of the infinitely more accessible midtown museums.“http://www.jasonkaufman.com/articles/ met_pays_tribute_to_bill_wixom.htm - Cached
„Huge stone fireplaces and the log construction gave it a decidedly rustic character. One early visitor, a Presbyterian pastor from Portland, claimed it was "a thoroughly home-like and hospitable place, a veritable olden time inn." (3) Cloud Cap Inn did not attain much popularity as a resort until the middle 1920s, when large, moderately priced automobiles became available, significantly improving accessability for the less well-to-do motorist. Completion of the loop highway around Mount Hood in 1925 and a new road to the Inn itself also stimulated interest in developing Cloud Cap Inn and its immediate environs into a more substantial tourist attraction.“http://www.seanet.com/~tdeering/thesis/ ch-4a.htm - Cached
„We got a camcorder while we were in the vicinity of a Best Buy in southern California. We also got a new printer/scanner/copier, so I scanned a bunch of pictures in already. Stuff, you know, from spring, Christmas, coming home from the hospital after surgery on my finger this last February (hunting-knife accident on Christmas Eve, almost cut it off, but the plastic surgeon said he could fix it so I could play bass again).“http://klondikekate.bloggage.com/archives/ 2003_06.html - Cached
„Okay, not the stuff of medieval torture chambers, but certainly enough to register on the Discomfort Meter. And since I'd already picked out my candidates, I figured I might as well do some research on the bevy of State Questions on this year's ballot. The results, such as they are, can be seen in The Vent .“http://www.dustbury.com/archives/2002_11.html - Cached
