Ice cream and cinnamon rolls a 30-year hit at Dairy Women’s fair booth
As the hot California sun bore down on the Kings Fair this past weekend, the Kings County Dairy Women were helping kids and parents alike to beat the heat with their ice cream and sandwich booth. "The booth was started to give the kids showing animals and the ones here all day long a nutritional product, such as milk, ice cream, and our beef pit sandwiches," said Teresa Evangelo, treasurer for the group and organizer of this year's booth. "We want to offer kids a good meal at an affordable price, so their parents will appreciate what we do for them."

Geek Review: ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ does fantasy in ‘The Lies of Locke Lamora’
I was going to review "Hellboy II" this week, but it really comes down to this: If you liked the first movie, then the sequel is even better and go see it. If the original bored you, then bugger off, because you have no taste. There, that said, I'm going to review a book. Yes, a book.

    Movies and Myths

    Movie making is a tedious business. This is one conclusion I came to today while sitting, sleep deprived, at the Hanford Fox Theatre, watching a film called “Pickin’ and Grinnin’” in the process of being made. It was like watching the progress of drying paint. Mostly a lot of people standing around doing nothing. The ratio of [...]

    The Pulse by Jackie Kaczmarek

    Dallas Cowboys, here I come

    One of our loyal online readers sent me an e-mail earlier today, asking if The Pulse still had a pulse. I answered yes, but that I’d been so busy lately that I hadn’t even been able to blog about my ongoing love affair with my Mr. Coffee iced tea maker. The real reason is a lot [...]

    Room for belief

    I seem to have stirred up a hornet’s nest with the last posting, so I thought it might be good to try to clarify things a bit. I am concerned about people thinking that there is no room for belief in God. The reason is that some popularizers of science like Richard Dawkins are on the warpath [...]

    Alien Asylum by Eiji Yamashita

    Stray thoughts on racism

    A recent Washington-post ABC news poll indicated that three in 10 Americans admit to race bias. This statistic — probably one of many conducted recently in light of Barack Obama’s presidential run — didn’t really surprise me. But it didn’t please me, either. In fact, when I first read that article, I actually lost a few [...]
