My copy finally arrived this week It was sent via regular U.S. Postal Service from Reno Nevada. I called The New Yorker Store and they said it takes two weeks to arrive. It comes with a booklet that gives an interesting overview of The New Yorker Magazine's history. I noticed that J.D...

by Sitaram, June 6, 2003 When my step-son was eight years old, he went through a phase where he would frequently ask me: "Who do you love THE MOST: me, my sister, mommy, the dog or the cat?" Sometimes I would tease him and say, "Why, the CAT of course!" But one day I...

Many people have no use I have spoken to many people now regarding the CD's. A few people, with specialized interests, are quite enthusiatic. Other people could care let. I guess it all depends upon what interests you, as well as the availablity of time to actually use the information. I am...

Old Advertisements I am anxious to look at the old ads. I remember looking at an old magazine from the period of World War II. It was by a phonograph company, I think. The ad showed a drawing of Hitler seated in their "quite room" looking miserable. They explained that they used such a...

thenewyorkerstore.com You can always get it direct at thenewyorkerstore.com along with tee shirts coffee mugs baseball hats, etc. I realized that I could look around for a discount, but I dont want to miss out, so I am willing to pay premium. And, even though I ordered today, it IS...

I hope no one construes my post as advertising I have no vested interest in this (even though I do own 51% of the controlling stock in the New Yorker... ha ha just kidding...) But I feel that this is a rare opportunity for people to study 70 years worth of changing tastes, public opinion...

I placed my order They claim it is a limited time offer. I cannot resist the opportunity. For years, I have regretted that I did not more regularly study the New Yorker over the years. 4000 issues for 100 is 2.5 cents per issue. So, now I can discipline myself to read and reflect and study. I...

Wait, may be that is 4000 weeks I guess it is a weekly magazine, so 4000 weeks is 79 years. My, how time passes.

As a study in popular fiction writing It just seems to me that if anyone is really interested in writing short stories or poems for magazines, this would be a great way to study what has made it to the New Yorker during the last 4000 issues. (I guess that is 4000 months!)

For years I have been fond of The New Yorker Magazine I was in a doctor's office today, in the waiting room, and noticed in a recent copy that 8 CDs are available with all the New Yorker Magazine articles going back to the first edition. Or perhaps I misunderstood what is offered. The cost...

Right now, for me, it is 5:03 AM. I am in GMT -5 and my Profile/Options is correctly set to reflect that. Yet at the bottom of my screen, the TBF page reads: All times are GMT -4. The time now is 05:02 AM. The time displays correctly, but why does it say GMT -4? Just curious...

An erotic image is simply an illusion, a gestalt of countless colored pixels upon our senses. The individual pixels have reality and existence. The woman in the image has no real existence. And yet we are aroused by the woman and are not conscious of the individual pixels. We can respond...

Knowing glances We pass through a forest of symbols which regard us with knowing glances. - Baudelaire The unanswerable question is the unmoved mover of the soul.

What do we mean when we say "free?" "Free" is an adjective, as in "free lunch," which apparently does not exist, since we are always saying "There is no such thing as a free lunch." But then we turn around and sing "The best things in life are free." Life, existence, is free, but not...

Flash Tutorial "Movie" of msg board guts A quick and easy way to see the inside guts of a message board (not vBulliten, but perhaps similar) is to view these flash "movie" tutorials, which show on your screen all about groups, and various admin and moderator functions...

my understanding is... That question was asked at another vbulliten literary forum, and the admin answered that the feature is built into Vbulliten by Jelsoft, but he did not use it, because, in his mind, it would lead to partisanship (my group is better than your group)... and the buddy list...

The most brilliant thing... One of the most brilliant things I ever encounterd was in a magazine interview with Vonnegut. He pointed out that so many clamor to see the ten commandments displayed on walls and monuments, but no one ever EVEN ONCE asks to have the beatitudes from the sermon on the...

She is the only one with a last name like "horney" which lends itself to double entendre. As I mentioned previously, I feel the real potential for discussion in this thread is why this woman in Kuala Lumpur takes an interest in the email which she forwards. I suspect it has to do with the...
