| Don't Infringe On My Social Space Friend Posted: 11 May 2012 08:18 PM PDT Social media....the clue's in the name.

Because it's that shared passion ...

| Posted: 11 May 2012 04:48 PM PDT Barack Obama's mother died on Nov. 7, 1995, a few weeks before her 53rd birthday. She was less than two years older than the president is now. Her death from uterine cancer came between two key events in her son's life. Four months earlier "Dreams From My Father" had been published; it seemed destined to drown unnoticed in the deep ocean of books. One year later Obama won his first election, to the Illinois state Senate, the initial stop on his swift journey to the White House that, along the way, brought a mass audience to that forgotten memoir, which in its best-selling revival defined his political image and provided him with lifelong financial security.

| In Italy, a spiritual search for the essence of espresso Posted: 11 May 2012 08:04 AM PDT For the espresso obsessed (like me), visiting Italy is like journeying to Mecca: Caffeine-loving crusaders seek answers by crossing time, language and cultural barriers to visit the drink's motherland. And although it's not a sip from an Islamic holy well, this potent secular beverage does transport devotees to a higher plane — if only until the jitters wear off. Read full article >>

| 'Dark Shadows' Is More Light Than Dark Posted: 11 May 2012 07:29 PM PDT As the credits rolled at the end of Dark Shadows, my father turned to me and said, "I don't get it. Was it supposed to be a comedy or a horror?" I didn't understand what he meant: obviously it was a comedy. There were some watered down PG-13 horror, but there was nothing about it I considered horrific. But when you consider the movie is about the vampires, witches, and yes, even werewolves, it would have been nice to have had my flesh crawl just once. It doesn't mean that I didn't like Dark Shadows???after all, it starred Johnny Depp, who is so talented that he deserves every acting award ever invented and a few that haven't???but it left me wanting more.
