  I did not play sports much growing up. Well, thats not entirely true, as we played lots of neighborhood baseball and stuff like that. There was a summer or two where we played baseball almost every day. But as far as organized sports I only endured soccer for a couple years, and no other sports. It just didnt ...

  A young lady named Hope Xu — from University High right here in Irvine — scored a perfect 2400 on this year’s SAT exam. I’ve advised my 16-year-old son that henceforth, when he’s faced with a tough decision in life, he should ask himself the question “What would Hope Xu do?” I know one thing she ...

• “The Road”: Cormac McCarthy’s Version of Helen Reddy’s “You and Me Against the World”?

  
  Prometheus Unbound — Authority: 437
  Slate recently reviewed the film version of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road , and reported that watching it is—how shall I put this politiely?—emotionally problematic:  The Boy and Man on the road, nameless in the long-dead world. Their cart and tarp and tins of food sole bulwark against the growing cold. ...

  EppsNet: Notes from the Golden Orange — Authority: 134
  My dad is of the opinion that cats are “smarter” than dogs. Not coincidentally, he and my mom own a couple of cats, one of which was sitting next to his chair at Thanksgiving dinner. Dad decided to share some turkey with the cat. He stood up with a piece of turkey, showed it to the cat, than walked out to the ...

• The Ending of Cormac McCarthy’s “No Country for Old Men”

  
  Prometheus Unbound — Authority: 437
  The film version: Notice, at the very beginning of the clip, the strategic placement of the tree, and Tommy Lee Jones crooking his neck ever so slightly, not blinking, as if his fate is to, as it were, be dangled by the neck from that tree? And the dream, metaphorically, is that of a lost father, and what ...

• How Bad Can It Be?: “Ripley’s Believe It or Not: Seeing Is Believing”

  
  Popdose — Authority: 620
  Much (though by no means all) of the stuff I talk about in this column comes to me free for review, often well in advance of the street release date. That means there are a lot of unfamiliar CDs and books and DVDs scattered around my workplace; it also means we get a lot of mail. My kids thought that part was pretty ...

  Worked some physics problems with my boy last night . . . the subject at hand was torque , which his textbook expresses in units of m N. “Back in my day, we used to measure torque in foot-pounds,” I said. “What’s m N? Millinewtons?” “I don’t know,” he said. “I guess so.” “OK, we’re off ...

• Parenting Tip: Fathers Need To Show Sons Affection

  
  Personal Blog of Justin Germino — Authority: 131
  This isn’t the 1950’s anymore where a rigid father/son system existed where Fathers were just not brought up to show affection and emotions to anyone, especially their sons becuase it wasn’t the “man” way.

  EppsNet: Notes from the Golden Orange — Authority: 134
  I say to my son, “Now there’s a Firefox plugin so you can dislike stuff on Facebook . I disliked three things already.” “Cool,” he says, walking out of the room. “I gotta get that right now.” He comes back in with his laptop. “First I’ve got to download Firefox,” he says. “You’re ...
