NEW YORK—If you study Method acting at one of the great New York studios that grew out of the Stanislavsky system, the first thing they teach you is that acting is not about speaking, it’s about reacting. “Always watch the actor who is not speaking,” the great Freddie Kareman used to tell his classes at Carnegie Hall. “If he’s engaged and focused and concentrated, that’s when you’ll see his craft.” Or as Martin Scorsese once told me, “Pay no attention to the words. We’ll change the words. We’re looking for what’s underneath the words.” The great thing about watching a … Continue reading →

I have an obsession with tiny homes. Despite not living in one myself, I feel overjoyed that there is a movement that celebrates simplicity, and goes against the grain of everything modern day culture pushes for. Rather than bigger being better, tiny homes exemplify the idea that less is more. “Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not … Continue reading →

Here in my favorite American small town, I detect a strange, ominous feeling of approaching danger. Something has gone wrong with the USA. I first came to Moscow, Idaho, eight years ago when the great Obama frenzy was at its unhinged peak. This is a divided place, traditional rural conservatives living alongside a Left-wing university campus, but in 2008 they coped with their deep divisions in the usual way. People disagreed, but they did it politely and openly and were ready to accept the result even if they did not like it. Almost every front lawn had its partisan placard. … Continue reading →

The proper use of ‘too, to and two’ and ‘they’re, their and there’ are just some of the grammatical rules drummed into us from a very young age. And yet, in a world where LOL and BRB are as commonplace as full stops, people slip up on an all too frequent basis. Now, a new Playbuzz quiz is attempting to establish how good you are at identifying the commonly misused words – and determine if you’re really a ‘Grammar God’. SGI English Grammar, who posted the quiz, say: ‘These 3 are the words that cause most problems in English: your v … Continue reading →

Jeff Jacoby describes himself as a conservative columnist. He has written for the Boston Globe as the house broken “conservative” since the early 1990’s. According to his Wikipedia page, he is “the region’s pre-eminent spokesman for The Conservative Nation,” and a columnist who had “quickly established himself as a must-read.” Also according to Wiki, he takes a paycheck from the radical left-wing TV station WBUR, one of the many governments run NPR affiliates in New England. He’s also been on the payroll of the Progressive cable outlet CNN. It’s fair to say Jacoby is typical of Official Conservatism™ the last two decades, which is to say he … Continue reading →

We are all jurors in an ongoing trial to find the truth of John Kennedy’s murder. Most of us have fallen asleep; some left the chamber, and others don’t even care anymore. But a few, a very small few, have been paying attention for the last 45 years as arguments for the prosecution of Lee Harvey Oswald, headed up by government lawyers and their lackeys have been constantly countered by a volunteer and unpaid defense team for the truth made up of laymen, clergymen, historians, teachers, researchers, republicans, democrats, non-affiliates of all ages shapes and sizes. It has been a … Continue reading →

In honor of National Preparedness Month, here’s a look back at a popular NatGeo special from 2013. When it first aired in 2013, NatGeo’s survival show, American Blackout, was a hot topic around the country. It definitely caught the attention of non-preppers from coast to coast. More recently, Ted Koppel wrote about the strong possibility of cyber terrorism taking out our power grid in his book, Lights Out. In our current fragile economy with unrest in so many different sectors, the last thing we need is a long-term, widespread blackout. You may have read One Second After or Light’s Out, the … Continue reading →

The United States have a well-known history of providing military support to countries in need. But from time to time, the US Government has provided secret forces. While many are successful, there have also been a number of failures. This is a list of the ten top secret armies of the CIA. 1. Ukrainian Partisans Wikipedia From 1945 to 1952 the CIA trained and aerially supplied Ukranian partisan units which had originally been organized by the Germans to fight the Soviets during WWII.

NEW YORK—I’m gonna explain this Pat McCrory thing to you. As his world crumbles around him, Pat McCrory keeps doubling down on the “Keep Our Public Bathrooms Safe” issue. Surely the man knows he’s losing. So you may be wondering: Is he insane? Doesn’t he have some lobe in the Political Survival region of his brain with a neon sign blinking “Bail Out! Seek Refuge! Career Killer Ahead!” Doesn’t he know this is one of those public Dogpile Jamborees that stays with you the rest of your life and goes on your tombstone? And yet he keeps churning away.

In today’s world, technology is developing at an unprecedented rate. The latest gadget today is tomorrow’s antique. As a result of this rapid development of technology, we often take things for granted. One of these is the wheel. Take a look around, and you will see wheels everywhere, be it as tyres, or in everyday machinery. The wheel has even been imbued with symbolic meanings, most famously, perhaps, as a metaphor for the never-ending cycle of life. One may be tempted to think that the wheel is just a humble or even primitive invention compared to some of the fancy … Continue reading →

The lessons of history are very, very, very clear. Pick any year in history, whatever we think is true, that year, 1900, 15 years later, it’s a whole entirely different world. And we all know in 1900 how the world is, and we should be saying to ourselves, find me a weird guy. Find me a strange guy to tell me how this is going to change. 1950, 15 years later, everything we knew, everything we knew was totally wrong. So I, at least, have learned that, that lesson of history. And perhaps that’s why I’m more– not interested, more … Continue reading →
