Toibin and Keret, Speaking of Writing. | Bioethics: Politics, Questions ...

In the past week, even on the same day, i have heard 2 very different authors speak of their writing. Now the difference in there speaking was that Toibin talked about a certain book, Brooklyn, that he wrote and shared no sections of the book, while merely talking about the story behnd the book. Keret talked about his short stories, even shared some, and talked about them in context.

I found that Toibin?s Presentation was much less entertaining and much less engaging than ?Keret. One thing that Toibin lacked was the comfortability that Keret seemed enjoy with his audience. ?Toibin seemed not only nervous, but out of his element as he recounted his tale of how the story of how the story of brooklyn came to be, and made little effort to insert humor to entertain his audience, while Keret injected all his humor and had his audience engaged and laughing while maintaining a serious undertone of his stories.

Granted, Toibin?s audience wasn?t as mixed in age, and not everyone was as inherently excited and engaged to listen as the audience was for Keret, and that can affect the speaker greatly in terms of how much effort they needed to put in. Toibin seemed forced and seemed to be going through the motions of the story, as if it was a monotonous task.

All in all, Keret seemed much more engaging, and had the humor to keep his audience entertained even through his read of short stories, which were also seemingly long and monotonous, but he never let his audience tire.

Public nudity ban considered in San Francisco

Nov 18, 2012 5:11pm

San Franciscans may be forced to wear clothes outside of their homes and some nude activists aren?t pleased.

City lawmakers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on an ordinance that, if passed, would make it illegal for anyone over the age of 5 to expose their genitals in public. Exemptions will be made for parades and festivals held under a city permit, according to the ordinance.

A group of activists filed a federal lawsuit against the city on Wednesday, asking that a judge issue a temporary restraining order to stop the vote on Tuesday and provide the court enough time to determine the merits of the case.

One of the plaintiffs, Mitch Hightower, has organized an annual ?nude-in? demonstration over the past several years.

?The ?Nude In? is intended to promote a spirit of tolerance, peace and fellowship among the attendees,? the lawsuit said, claiming that if enacted, the ordinance would violate the constitutional right of free speech.

?It attempts to criminalize nudity even when engaged in for the purpose of political advocacy,? the lawsuit said.

George Davis, who ran for mayor in 2007 and District 6 supervisor in 2010, both times as the ?nude candidate,? joined the suit, claiming he uses nudity ?as part of his political expression.?

If the ordinance is enacted, first time offenders would be fined $100. The fine increases to $200 if it?s the second offense within 12 months. The third time a nudist is caught, they could be slapped with a $500 fine and potentially charged with a misdemeanor.

Who Does Bachelor Canada Brad Smith Pick: Whitney or Bianka?

Bachelor Brad Smith has his hands full of gorgeous and talented ladies on The Bachelor Canada Season 1. First, there?s Bianka Kamber, the Victoria?s Secret model-hot palliative care nurse from Toronto. Then, there?s Whitney Lee, the 24-year-old administrative assistant from Calgary.

On Wednesday, November 21, 2012, viewers will watch Brad pick either Whit or Bianka. For those of you who haven?t tuned in all season, Whitney is essentially getting the Courtney Robertson edit: most of the girls hate her (literally, they called her a ?sneaky little cockroach? during the ?Women Tell All? special), and she didn?t help things by preemptively anointing herself a ?diva? in her CityTV bio.

Then there?s Bianka, the Kim Kardashian lookalike (who also shares a past with the celeb), whose ?hard to get strategy? hooked Brad from day one (he even admitted it in his blog!). What do you think: Will Brad give his final rose to strong-willed Whitney? Or will he pick fan favorite Bianka?
