India may be an emerging world leader in high-tech innovation, but you wouldn't know that while shopping for household items in New Delhi. My wife and kids land here in a week, and that has prompted me to try and make things look as homey as possible in our rented house. But as a newcomer to this country, I've discovered that filling the cupboards with groceries and household basics is not as simple as heading to the mall or the supermarket...
...disgraced Fatty Arbuckle, then made a few more furtive, insultingly small appearances in movies. Sometimes her scenes were cut out of the film. She ended her career staring up at Wayne in Overland Stage Raiders and seemingly out of her element, her refeened voice clashing with the homey cliches and the guy who has a sassy puppet on his arm.

(It was based on The Landlord's Game, a didactic board game patented in 1904 by a reformer advocating landlord taxes...
...kind of homey touch you didn't find on the web. For all the convenience that my current scriptural search engine, BibleGateway.com offers, it doesn't have the muscle to allow you to mark up its verses. More than I had imagined (before I sat down to write this), this detracts from any illusion that the "bible" through which they search for your verses or key words was "your bible," or for that matter, "a" Bible, instead of just a set of algorithms. I could see how some tech savvy Christians might look for more...
