...only enhanced by the flippant, let's-see-how-far-over-the-top-we-can-go nature of his work. Eight years after becoming an indelible symbol for the resourceful tactics of guerilla filmmaking with the taut, no-budget wonder El Mariachi, Rodriguez has become an eye-candy dynamo; a gleeful purveyor of pulp so jammed with spicy flavor that it seems ready to rupture on screen at any moment. With the propulsive mayhem of his neo-Spaghetti Western Desperado, Rodriguez established himself as a caffeine-saturated John Woo incarnate, filling the screen with delectable orgies of balletic gunplay...
...dynamo of agility and blinding speed, Ford, the CRLS point guard, was largely contained in the first half, only making one of his first nine field goal attempts. Holy Name jumped out to early 8-2 and 35-21 leads, threatening to put the game away, but CRLS (24-1) clawed back, going on an 11-0 run to pull within 3 by halftime...

"There's a fine touch between knowing what to do and when to do it," an insider says of Thoman's leadership. Thoman was replaced by former Xerox chief Paul Allaire...
...these reports, smaller providers like EarthLink and Telocity have better customer service than the Baby Bells. But this is a smoke screen. Almost all residential DSL companies in the U.S. rely on their local phone companies to build the equipment that turns an ordinary phone line into a DSL dynamo. None of them can get you up and running any faster, which is why I've been sticking it out with Pac Bell all this time. If I canceled my order and went to a competitor, I'd effectively be starting over in the same queue...
