101 simple summer meals that can be prepared in 10 minutes or less (NY Times). Copy and paste it before the article goes into the archive.
Ticket packages for the 2007 Toronto Film Festival are on sale. You can buy program specific packages (the Midnight Madness is sure to sellout), and passes, but I tend to go with the 10-Film package of tickets. You buy the 10-pack, choose 20 movies, and then a random draw determines which movies you get, basesd on availability and the order of the draw. Other fun options include the "We Pick For You" packages. TIFF Ticket Pass & Package options are here. The programs for Canadian Retrospective (out now), Midnight Madness, Sprockets Family Zone, and Wavelengths are being announced one at a time every Monday.
Any bets how quickly major media (not the instaneous internet) publicizes the spoilers for Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows this weekend? I say by Monday at the latest. Books normally are released on the Tuesday, but I'd bet the weekend release is to curb employee absentism.

Tomorrow the library is getting its copy of the book so we have a chance to catalogue and process them before Saturday. I intend to follow the Children's Dept. manager around until they arrive :)
Apparently The New York Times already published its own HPDH spolier. (I didn't read it, but I read on another site that it's a spoiler.)
I read the NY Times reviewer got a hold of a copy early and pretty much disregarded any sense of preserving the surprises. Pretty much giving away major points, which is a dick move on the reviewers part. NY Times probably assumed they'd move more papers by having the exclusive scoop. I'd like to think that this had the reverse effect, and all the Potter fans would hold out just a few more days to have the book in hand.
As a Harry Potter fan, :) I didn't read the spoiler/review. Most likely true fans won't be looking for spoilers either. Readers want to unveil HPDH secrets on their own.
I did send The New York Times a satisfyingly nasty letter though.
