Alice Walker
When the hard clay is swept clean as a floor and the fine sand around the edges lined with tiny, irregular grooves, anyone can come and sit and look up into the elm tree and wait for the breezes that never come inside the house. I can work outside all day, breaking ice to get water for washing; I can eat pork liver cooked over the open fire minutes after it comes steaming from the hog
Buffy Speak - TV Tropes
Friar Tuck! And later it seems like his team is having fun with his explanations: Hunter: Say again, Roland, a what? Tembo: The one with the big red horn. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione describes Harry's hero complex as his "saving-people thing." Voldemort is also called "Lord Thingy" by Cornelius Fudge at one point
Looking back, is there anything you wish your parents had handled differently in how they raised you? Anything having to do with when or how they discussed your origin story or the level of contact you had with your surrogate? I wish my parents had acknowledged the differences between my brother and me a bit more. Before I start, I want to say that Anne gave me permission to be totally blunt and intrusive and ask the kind of questions that would normally earn me a slap in the face
Jerry Lee Lewis Richard Ben Cramer January 10, 2014 Diversity of thought, religion, ideology and freedom of expression is the underpinning of our democracy. The syntax of expressions generally follows conventional mathematical notation, though some languages such as Lisp or Forth have their own idiosyncratic syntax
We had sister bonding time to the max (nearly four weeks of it) but it's still always hard to say good bye to her - especially after we had such a great week together in my current city. After the Civil War millions were driven to market in a boom but faced extinction eventually due to the several factors one being change from free range land to fenced properties and the need for different qualities in cattle on these ranches
Don't Explain the Joke - TV Tropes
In an episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Max embarrassed herself repeatedly during student-body presidential elections by trying to get people to laugh at her burns against Cody by explaining them. The entire point of the movie is to explain the joke "The Aristocrats" but because of the nature of the joke, which is ad-libbed and unspeakably profane in all its variants, the joke does not die
The Courthouse Ring - The New Yorker
Sheriff Tate brings the news to Finch, and persuades him to lie about what actually happened; the story will be that Ewell inadvertently stabbed himself in the scuffle. Sometimes whites trusted the word of black men whose families they had known for generations over the sworn testimony of white women whose backgrounds were unknown or (even worse) known and despised
Tim Cook's Freshman Year: The Apple CEO Speaks - Businessweek
Does it affect how you interact with them? How do you defuse that when you have to talk as partners?We can separate in our minds the different portions of their company. In addition, we have hundreds of people that reside in China in the plants on a full-time basis that are helping with manufacturing and working on manufacturing process and so forth
Although the Wisconsin senator later grew famous hunting communists, communists in the Milwaukee branch of the Congress of Industrial Organizations played a key role in his initial Senate victory in 1946. "It is the very pursuit of happiness," Frankl knew, "that thwarts happiness." *** This is why some researchers are cautioning against the pursuit of mere happiness
As the World Burns - The New Yorker
Then, suddenly, there was a new problem: Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, said that he wanted to pass immigration reform before the climate-change bill. He had just one request: include in the climate legislation parts of a bill that Pickens had written, called the Natural Gas Act, a series of tax incentives to encourage the use of natural-gas vehicles and the installation of natural-gas fuelling stations
The graph below, again from Google Books, shows the shift in language that marked this change in spirit: Up until the early 1900s, causation showed up more often than correlation in the corpus; then the concepts flip. Victorian logician Alexander Bain wasn't breaking new ground in 1870 when he warned his readers of the "fallacy of causation," whereby we might assume that, say, "the healthy effect of residence at a medicinal spa is attributed exclusively to the operation of the waters," as opposed to being caused by "the whole circumstances and situation." The confusion between correlation and causation, he said (not quite using the famous phrase), "prevails in all the complicated sciences, as Politics and Medicine." With the arrival of Pearson's coefficients and the transformation of statistics, that "fallacy" became more central to debate

Armstrong Williams: The Threat From ISIS is Real With every night that we lock our doors and go to bed feeling safe from any immediate threats, we are only fooling ourselves and letting a very real threat draw nearer
The Piraha, a tribe in the Amazon in Brazil, whose language eschews number words in favor of terms like few and many, are not able to keep track of exact quantities. So does the language shape cultural values, or does the influence go the other way, or both? Languages, of course, are human creations, tools we invent and hone to suit our needs
The XX Factor
Although he was supposedly defending himself against very serious charges of sex abuse, Cosby can't resist the opportunity to brag about what a ladies' man he is. Of course, if Ashley Madison's users were smart enough to make special dummy email addresses for digital indiscretions, you wouldn't be able to catch them this way, but it's still a big privacy hole, and let's be honest, most people aren't that wily
