Learned today that there is a new television adaptation of the novels by Leslie Charteris, starring an actor unknown to me, Adam Rayner. Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress plays another kickass girl, this time another character from the novels, but "updated" to fit contemporary [PC] sensibilities.

Jordi Savall y el barroco del Nuevo Mundo
20 abr 2013
Jordi Savall es una autoridad mundial en materia de música antigua. Le conocemos por su maestria con la viola da gamba, y ahora es noticia porque nos presenta una propuesta distinta: el barroco del Nuevo Mundo. Se trata de una música única, fruto de la mezcla de ritmos y melodías de africa, la españa renacentista y barroca y temas originales del continente americano. Músicas pensadas para el baile con un fuerte componente de improvisación y que siguen vivas hoy día.

No Name Anime is shutting down...
Hadn't been to a meeting for a very long time; does it continue to attract the same people even now? Anime might be readily available these days through the internet, but there aren't many organizations here that provide anime fans with an opportunity to gather and socialize.
With some sadness, the organizers of No-Name Anime have decided to make 2013 be our last year. We are grateful for the Santa Clara library's seven years of support. We'd like to thank all our attendees and staff since our founding in 1993. Some of the regular attendees would like to form a new successor club for 2014. They welcome ideas for the name of the new organization and people interested in volunteering to help. Until they have their own online presence, meet them in person at the next NNA meeting or contact NNA and we'll forward your message.

SJ Mercury
I didn't know he was over at St. Patrick's from 2002 to 2010. Did he help improve things at the seminary?

Leftists Get Some Things Right

Get Apocalyptic: Why Radical is the New Normal by Robert Jensen (Transition Voice)
Even more ideological silliness: Masculinity and the End of Time
Patriarchy is identified with every significant moral failing, while the author is not willing to go to the extreme of radical egalitarianism, he tries to blend masculinity with femininity to create the new "man," who is not equipped by nature to be any sort of authority with respect to wife.
