...guess I have to say that, like most other liberal New York heterosexuals I'm a card-carrying homophiliac; so in calling the films closet-gay, I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It just strikes me as a dominant trend in the year's comedies (and action films, like 300 and Spider...

...revenue growth, they are vying for a foothold in what some call the "last frontier" of the domestic market. Over the past six years, Wells Fargo has opened 1 million accounts for Mexican nationals living in the U.S. by becoming the first bank to accept the Matricula Consular identification card that Mexican consulates in the U.S. began issuing after 9/11. A growing number of banks, including KeyBank and Union Bank of California, are also offering low-cost check cashing as a way to encourage people to convert to regular bank accounts.

...Mart rolls out more than 1,000 dedicated check-cashing outlets in its stores, charging a flat fee of just $3 per check. Check cashers have already responded by sprucing up their offerings.

Phone manuals detail how to perform multiple reset commands to erase personal information and some online recycling phone services offer command sets for specific phones, but most people never bother to go through the tedious process, Mislan says.

...landscape in words, and there are gorgeous descriptions of strumming guitars, running horses and swooping hawks. But the second part of the book is a letdown; the descriptions in France are often too contrived, too literary. We want less about Segura's art, more about Coop and his crooked card games.

But for once, the hawk master has failed at his game: for all the delight...
