Determinism tells us that free-will is an illusion. Yes, you may feel like you are making decisions, but everything is predetermined by how things were (the positions and forces) the moment before. There are no choices. |
|
No kidding; that's the bleakness of mainstream scientific belief. But what do you expect from a bunch of anti-social nerds? |

The Mexican Essays of Katherine Anne Porter by Philip Gambone |
|
On the way, from the window of her train, she saw the ruins of haciendas and bullet-riddled buildings pasted with slogans: MUERTE A LA TIRANÍA and PAN, TIERRA Y LIBERTAD |
|
She came to admire the Mexican temperament of "aesthetic magnificences, and, above all, the passion for individual expression without hypocrisy, which is the true genius of the race." |

Fabrica Aurora Art Walk, Saturday, May 4 by Margaret Failoni |
|
Unlike his usual, fantastically dramatic, hard edge, color field works, these new creations have taken on a softer dimension. The beautifully rendered colors are still there, but the hard edge geometric shapes have given way to soft and equally dramatic curves. |
|
Having apprenticed with some of the New York School of Art artists in those intoxicating decades after the war, Hijuelos learned well. |

Collage is a self-discovery through imagery, psycho-analytic therapy which helps understand the process of becoming. |
|
So, I create a mythical space, a mystical universe where everything is allowed to live and tell their stories, together. |

Our recent medical experiences, which have required trips to Texas, also have left wondering if San Miguel is the best place for older people to face unexpected but inevitable health problems. |
|
Some of our friends say they’ve planted their flag in Mexico and even become naturalized Mexican citizens. Stew and I keep our return plane tickets in our back pockets. |

About the success of Mexican actresses in Hollywood I assumed it was a straight line between the early Hollywood successes of Lupe Velez and Dolores Del Rio to 1990's Salma Hayek (who filmed Once Upon a Time in Mexico with Johnny Depp right here in San Miguel). However, I was wrong. |
|
In High Noon Katy lost her lover, Cary Grant, to the more whitewashed Grace Kelly, but won the first Golden Globe given to a Mexican actress. |

An unfortunate truth is that if you want to be safe on the internet today you have to start by being extremely suspicious of everything. With that in mind I was already alert to the potential dangers of clicking on a link in an email to go to a web site. |

El determinismo nos dice que el libre albedrío es una ilusión. Sí, puedes sentir que estás tomando decisiones, pero todo está predeterminado por cómo eran las cosas (las posiciones y las fuerzas) en el momento anterior. No hay opciones. |
|
No bromeo; eso es lo sombrío de la creencia científica convencional. Pero, ¿qué esperas de un montón de nerds antisociales? |

Los ensayos mexicanos de Katherine Anne Porter por Philip Gambone |
|
En el camino, desde la ventana de su tren, vio las ruinas de haciendas y edificios acribillados con balas pegadas con consignas: MUERTE A LA TIRANÍA y PAN, TIERRA Y LIBERTAD. |
|
Llegó a admirar el temperamento mexicano de "magnificencias estéticas, y, sobre todo, la pasión por la expresión individual sin hipocresía, que es el verdadero genio de la raza". |

Fabrica Aurora Paseo de Arte, Sábado 4 de mayo por Margaret Failoni |
|
Adiferencia de sus habituales trabajos de campo de color, fantásticamente dramáticos y duros, estas nuevas creaciones han adquirido una dimensión más suave. Los colores bellamente representados todavía están ahí, pero las formas geométricas de bordes duros han dado paso a curvas suaves e igualmente dramáticas. |
|
Habiendo sido aprendiz de algunos de los artistas de la Escuela de Arte de Nueva York en aquellas embriagadoras décadas posteriores a la guerra, Hijuelos aprendió bien. |

La esquina de la computadora por Charles Miller |

Una verdad desafortunada es que si quieres estar seguro en Internet hoy, tienes que empezar por ser extremadamente sospechoso de todo. Con eso en mente ya estaba alerta a los peligros potenciales de hacer clic en un enlace en un correo electrónico para ir a un sitio web. |
