Matt Dillon is used to strange props showing up in his movies. After all, there was the questionable, er, hair gel that several actors sported in There's Something About Mary and the man-eating crocodile that finished off his character in Wild Things. But neither of those compare to the pesky monkeys that tormented Dillon during the filming of his directorial debut, City of Ghosts, a crime drama set mostly in Cambodia and scheduled to open on April 25 in the U.S. "We had to smuggle in a monkey from Thailand for some scenes, because our Cambodian monkey...
...Across the region, concludes author Abuza, "JI is down but not out. There are definitely some sleeper cells out there." As the Davao bombing demonstrated, the terrorists are hardly sleeping. Mayor Duterte, who almost completely eradicated street crime and drug dealing by meting out summary justice to ne'er-do-wells, says the tragedy at the airport has made him an overnight convert to U.S. President George W. Bush's belligerent approach to terrorism. Indeed, Duterte says he would be delighted to have G.I.s come in to take the terrorists on: "I was always against the Americans coming...
...they always want to play with the boys? Golf megastar Annika Sorenstam won 13 out of 24 tournaments last year on her way to posting the lowest average score in LPGA history.

The vast majority of biodiesel home brewers in Britain are honest about reporting their expected tax. This is less of an issue in the U.S. because of different guidelines and the nascent stage of biofuels as a whole. Home brewers play an important part in the promotion of biodiesel, as their passion...
...night, methought about the midnight hour, A double darkness o'er me seem'd to lower; Pensive I lay, to know what God design'd, Sensations awful fill'd my boding mind! The poor unhappy slaves rose to my view, My former guilt, their wounds now bled anew; I heard their sighs, and saw their big round tears, Wept as they wept, and fear'd with all their fears; Methought I saw once more their natal shore, All stain'd with carnage, red with human gore; Shrouded in blood they now appear'd to stand, And pointed to their agonizing...
