Vanilla Sky
reviewed by Steve Sailer
UPI, December 13, 2001
After making a fortune with the crowd-pleasing date movie "Jerry McGuire," star Tom Cruise and writer-director Cameron Crowe reteam in the ambitious, dark, and difficult "Vanilla Sky." It's an erotic thriller in the mode of "Fatal Attraction" that morphs into a "Matrix"-style science fiction mystery, yet ends up touching on the old questions about life, death, heaven, hell, and purgatory in the tradition of Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy:
To die, to sleep - To sleep - perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
Crowe has become one of the more interesting moralists in the arts today. His "R"-rated "Almost Famous" script about drug-addled rock stars and their groupies won both an Oscar and, more remarkably, raves from the born-again Christian press. Here he presents a vaguely Christian allegory about the price a man pays for the seemingly outdated sin of trifling with a young lady's affections.
Cruise, the luckiest man in Hollywood, is perfectly cast as the luckiest man in Manhattan, the handsome, energetic, rich, and powerful heir to a magazine publishing empire.
He wakes up next to gorgeous Cameron Diaz ("Charlie's Angels"), with whom he's been dallying as the mood strikes him. While assuring Cruise she hates the very idea of marriage, the obviously smitten lass looks like she'd rather be picking out names for their first five children. Cruise leaves, telling her he'll call, but refusing to say when.
He doesn't, however, call to invite her to his 33rd birthday party.
Diaz crashes his shindig anyway, but he's not interested. He's seen a stranger across a crowded room: a Spanish ballerina portrayed by Penélope Cruz.
After a string of duds, Cruz finally justifies Hollywood's hopes for her. Here she is sweet, feline, and adorable.
That she came with his best friend, a penniless novelist played by ex-pro skateboarder Jason Lee, means nothing to Cruise. He sweeps her away. They spend the night talking and resisting having sex. (Lovers are always more romantic on screen before consummation.) Do Cruise-Cruz have chemistry? More than an Exxon refinery.
He leaves Cruz's apartment at dawn, only to discover Diaz waiting in her car outside. Obviously, she's taking their intermittent affair a little more seriously than he is. Yet, when she switches modes from stalker to seductress and invites him to go for a ride, he's tempted. After all, he's been good all night with his new brunette true love; an hour being bad with his old blonde hot number would work off some of the tension.
"I thought it might be interesting to get into some of the aspects of casual sex and how people kind of playact at the casual part of that," Crowe noted. To enjoy a long career as a Lothario, a man must either break the hearts of the girls who fall in love with him, or be so bad in bed that they don't care that he never rings back. Cruise's character is not bad in bed.
So, Cruise makes his decision and gets in, with consequences he can't imagine.
The audience, in fact, not only can't imagine what's going to happen, but can't make sense of it while it is happening. In some scenes, Cruise is rapturously happy with Cruz. Yet, in others, he's a Phantom of the Opera-like loner with a broken face. Sometimes, he displays god-like powers, yet, for a god, he seems to spend way too much time locked up in jail wearing a creepy latex mask. What's going on?
To answer this, Crowe expands upon his source ("Open Your Eyes" by Spanish prodigy Alejandro Amenábar, director of "The Others") in two ways. He adds a wonderfully dense web of symbols and allusions that, if you saw the movie three or four times, would allow you to figure out The Secret for yourself.
"Vanilla Sky" is art in the sense of artifice, rather than of incandescent genius. Amenábar and Crowe each worked terribly hard to create a synthetic universe (or two) where every detail prefigures the ultimate revelation.
For example, golden boy Cruise and his envious but witty buddy almost die in a car crash. Afterwards, Lee gasps, "I thought I was going to die, so your life flashed before my eyes."
Cruise laughs and asks, "How was it?"
"Almost worth dying for."
Still, despite endless clues, I never saw it coming. So, for people like me, Crowe expanded Amenábar's ending to make it as methodically explanatory as the conclusion to Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express." That's considerate of Crowe, but it's a rather flat way to conclude a strikingly allusive movie.
While "Vanilla Sky" is sure to annoy a lot of people, it's the first film since "Moulin Rouge" that I've wanted to see twice
Rated R for a sex scene, nudity (Cruz), and bad words.

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 16, 2014 - How universities fare on reputational quality-of-life and academic rankings - such as those published by the Princeton Review or U.S. News & World Report - can have a measurable effect on the number of applications they - and their competitors - receive and on the academic competitiveness of the resulting freshman class, according to a new study.
The study, "True for Your School? How Changing Reputations Alter Demand for Selective U.S. Colleges," by Randall Reback, associate professor at Barnard College of Columbia University, and Molly Alter, a research analyst for the Research Alliance for New York City Schools at New York University, will be published online this month in Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA), a peer-reviewed journal of the American Educational Research Association.
VIDEO: Reback discusses highlights from "True for Your School?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xomzqftQPOc
Reback and Alter studied the importance of quality of life and academic reputations by examining the often-criticized college rankings in the Princeton Review's Best Colleges guidebooks and in U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Colleges series, along with comprehensive college-level data from the National Center for Education Statistics' Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.
"There is strong evidence that changes in colleges' quality-of-life and academic reputations affect both the number of applications that colleges receive and the characteristics of their next incoming classes of students," said Reback. "It raises important questions about the large role these arbitrary rankings can play in the college selection process."
Impact of Quality-of-Life Rankings
The study considered eight "Top 20" lists from the Princeton Review's books. In addition to Best Overall Academic Experience for Undergraduates, they included Happy Students; Least Happy Students; Most Beautiful Campus; Unsightly, Tiny Campus; Party Schools; Stone-Cold Sober Schools; and Jock Schools.
Among the findings:
Impact of Academic Rankings
Reback and Alter also examined the impact of academic rankings - such as those published by Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report - on the number and competitiveness of applicants received by universities and by their competitors.
Among the findings:
Caveats for Consumers
Given the wide availability and influence of the rankings, Reback and Alter note that a review of college guidebook and website practices by an independent organization, in order to assess the objectivity of the content, may be in the public interest.
The Princeton Review bases its guidebooks on unscientific administrative survey data obtained from colleges as well as surveys of current students which, Reback and Alter say, are notorious among college administrators for selection bias. The Princeton Review does not publicly disclose its method of aggregating survey results, and its formal ratings, Reback and Alter find, are determined in a haphazard fashion. Reback and Alter also note that many college administrators and other critics have decried the arbitrary nature of the U.S. News rankings.

On Friday morning, a judge denied a motion to move a teen accused of a shooting at a Baltimore County high school to juvenile court, according to WBAL-TV.
Robert Gladden Jr., 15, stands accused of opening fire at Perry Hall High School in August, wounding a 17-year-old special needs student.
Gladden's attorneys attempted to get the case moved to juvenile court, but the judge denied the motion.
Gladden will face 29 charges as an adult, including first-degree attempted murder.
The announcement came at the conclusion of a three-day juvenile waiver hearing that had been postponed twice. A criminal trial for Gladden in adult court remains scheduled to begin on February 19.
During closing arguments, Gladden pleaded with the court, stating that he was remorseful, that had been bullied, and that he would be best served in the juvenile system.
"My name is Bobby Gladden. I am 15 years old. I'm here today because I made the dumbest, stupidest mistake … I was not myself and I was out of my mind … people talked about me behind my back and called me a freak and a weirdo … I know that is not excuse for what I did and I am truly sorry … I want to be able to move on and I want help … I just want to make the best for myself. I know I can change. Please give me one more chance. I'm not a risk to anyone," Gladden said.
Gladded added that he would like to meet the shooting victim and apologize to him, according to the Perry Hall Patch.

Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
This is one of the better formulations from Avalon Organics. The fragranct essential oils are absent; the jar packaging has been replaced by a pump bottle (take care to store it away from light, however because the bottle is translucent); and it contains some emollient plant oils. The only element keeping this from earning better rating is the inclusion of small amounts of lavender, lemon, and arnica. None of these ingredients are recommended for use around the eyes, but this product is acceptable for dry skin elsewhere on the face.
We know it's hard to believe, but the truth is that most eye creams aren't necessary. That's either because they are poorly formulated, contain nothing special for the eye area, or come in packaging that won't keep key ingredients stable. Just because the product is labeled as an eye cream doesn't mean it's good for your eye area; in fact, many can actually make matters worse.There is much you can do to improve signs of aging around your eyes. Any product loaded with antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients, skin-lightening ingredients, anti-inflammatory ingredients, and effective emollients will work wonders and those ingredients don't have to come from a product labeled as an eye cream.
You would be shocked how many eye creams lack even the most basic ingredients to help skin. For example, most eye creams don't contain sunscreen. During the day that is a serious problem because it leaves the skin around your eyes vulnerable to sun damage and this absolutely will make dark circles, puffiness, and wrinkles worse! Whatever product you put around your eye area, regardless of what it is labeled, must be well formulated and appropriate for the skin type around your eyes! That may mean you need an eye cream, but you may also do just as well applying your regular facial moisturizer around your eyes.
The eye area is always the first to show the signs of aging. To protect eyes from deep wrinkles and dark shadows, the eye area must be treated daily with a richly moisturizing and rejuvenating solution. Antioxidant-rich Vitamin C, Lemon Bioflavonoids and White Tea soothe oxidative stress and help fight the visible signs of photo-aging. Eyes appear refreshed and defined.

Avalon Organics is one of many companies owned by Hain-Celestial, a company that specializes in marketing "natural" products. Along with various food and beverage brands you often see lining the shelves of health food stores, Hain-Celestial is also behind several other cosmetics lines, including Alba Botanica, Jason Natural, and Zia Natural (and just to be clear, none of these are all natural in the least).
Avalon Organics is most similar to Alba Botanica, but strangely enough, Avalon in many ways is the inferior line. Relative to the Alba Botanica line, Avalon Organics products cost more and their formulas aren't nearly as state of the art. A major thumbs down for Avalon Organics is the fact that none of their sunscreens contains sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. In addition, many more of the Avalon Organics products contain irritating plant oils (lavender, orange), and almost all also feature a plant tea concoction that includes not only lavender but also arnica, a problematic plant if ever there was one (Sources: American Journal of Contact Dermatitis, June 1996, pages 94–99; and www.naturaldatabase.com). It is these natural ingredients that sabotage many of the Avalon Organics products.
It is indeed admirable that Avalon Organics is dedicated to organic farming and to sustainable agricultural practices that improve the environment, but such a mission doesn't translate into great skin-care: farming is one issue, but brilliantly formulated products is another. In this case you can't rely on Avalon products to take care of your skin without some careful consideration. There are a handful of recommended products to consider, especially if you prefer a ratio of ingredients that favors natural over synthetic. (Note, however, this is not an all-natural line, any more than munching on Skittles candy is like eating real fruit.) But taking "the time to honor yourself" (Avalon's statement) by using products only from their line, or being swayed by this brand's "Consciousness in Cosmetics" for the sake of your skin, would be a mistake.
For more information about Avalon Organics, call (888) 659-7730 or visit www.avalonorganics.com.
Note: Avalon uses the term "other essential oils" on their ingredient lists, which does not comply with FDA or international regulations. These regulations state that you must list by name ALL the individual ingredients you include in your product for this category of ingredients.

MZ Architects, under the direction of lead architect Marwan Zgheib, designed the stadium to maximize the use of on-site and local materials while merging landscape and architecture, creating a seamless experience between stadium activities and the desert landscape. From a distance the stadium melts into the surroundings, respecting the beauty of the landscape.
The rock formations are utilized as an aesthetic component and careful patterns enhancing the natural characteristics of the site are created with the recuperated stone from the careful re-use of all material.The 200,000-square-meter structure relies on a series of emerging planes to mold the space, and beams of light illuminates the site at night, transforming the stadium into a powerful and symbolic place for national events and activity.
Currently the project is still at a concept stage with no planned start date, for now.

The Real Numbers of The Wealthy vs. the Middle Class and the PoorSubmitted by Silverismoney on Sat, 03/02/2013 - 23:36

Very well put. "Taking back"
Very well put.
"Taking back" the wealth by illegitimate means makes us no better than them.
This is because of the monetary system we have
When you inflate a currency, the people that control the printing presses use the new money to enrich themselves and their friends. This has been going on for 100 years, and now it is to the point where a very small group of people control a huge percentage of the money supply.
This means that a small group of people can create tremendous distortion within a macro-economic scale. Hypothetical : If I had unlimited billions and I decided to invest that in one geographic location, things might get built, people will get jobs. But there is only so much housing I need. Once I have enough, I need to do something else to create jobs. If I keep building just to create jobs, I'll cause a glut of buildings, just to keep people employed. I'm also wasting resources because eventually there are more buildings than people.
This has already happened in China. So, what will they screw up next?
Except that this kind of
Except that this kind of skewed distribution is from 1980 onwards, not the past 100 years.
China's issues are so numerous and complicated. One of their problems is preciely that they have a free market...they have no patent or copyright laws. They allow piracy and fraud to go unchecked. As a result, goods are cheap, which is good for the economy. But there is a future problem as innovation in China (and India) is nonexistant. Who wants to innovate there when his product will just be ripped off?
When the US and Europe decline, and Asia no longer has a place to steal from, what will their economy be based around?

No Place For Intellectual Property In Libertarian Philosophy
Take it from an esteemed patent attorney (irony) Stephan Kinsella:
"Who wants to innovate there when his product will just be ripped off?"
Innovators will innovate... even without government protectionism; which is all IP boils down to.
But kinsellas theory is not
But kinsellas theory is not strongly supported by evidence...currently, innovation finds roots in areas that protect it.
Kinsella does make some good points. However, he is not acknowledging that innovation costs are getting higher as the fruit on the tree disappears.
Moreover, it is not just that china has weak IP. They have weak copyright, weak fraud litigation, etc. There are no barriers to stealing what others have spent money to invent.

Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
Anyone who makes an argument that compares people's perceptions (what people, exactly?) of national economic data vs. reality and then concludes based solely on the disparity that the reality needs to be changed has a whole in his head. Ever seen are you smarter than a 5th grader? Anyone who can't see through that ridiculous argument clearly isn't.
Apparently you are not....
Smarter than a fifth grader because the point was to highlight how asleep we are as a nation. It also points out that most don't even realize how out of touch with reality they are. Did ya miss the point?
...and what's the point of pointing that out to people?
Most people don't know how the internal combustion engine or the internet works.
I think the poster of this video had a much different angle than you're supposing.
I think the authors video is worthless without making some conclusion at the end. It seemed he was hinting at something but didn't have the intectual honesty to state his hypothesis.
BTW - I think magic faires make my car go and Al Gore keeps the internet working...the fact that you can chart my ignorant response to the real definitions of these things tells us nothing. Other than maybe to say I'm dumb and you know better than me :)
It's completely valid to compare
people's perceptions of how wealth is distributed with how it actually is. Are you saying that the frustrations of the underprivileged don't matter to you and they shouldn't matter to anyone else? That's the ridiculous argument if ever I've heard one. It borders on justifying the banks to continue their quest to own everything.
I'm sorry if you don't see a problem with 1% or even .001% owning such vast wealth that they're are completely untouchable in any social, legal or moral way. For me, it's not ok. Not because it's not fair but because it wasn't accumulated fairly.
Why are so many so quick to leave CEOs out of the competition loop that they place everyone else in when promoting the free market?
Yes. of course. that's exactly what I'm saying...
...I hate poor people and I think they don't matter. I mean wasn't that completely obvious from my comment?
C'mon the author didn't even talk about corporatism or how the wealth was made legally or illegally and neiether did I.
That was sort of my point, the author isn't really getting to any real facts about these root causes. He seems to just be saying the balance of wage distirbution is unfair and people need to make it more fair Tbut in a way that we don't refer to as "Socialism".
BTW - I agree that the poor and middle class are the ones suffering most from inflation, crony capitalism and all these gubbermint programs that were supposedly designed to help them. I epathize with the fact that most of us are suffering because we were convinced to support (or passively sit by) and allow leviathan to grow to the monstrosity it has become today. Hopefully we can help others see through the class warfare and fairness rhetoric to understand sound econmics and liberty.
My comment was to someone else
They only made two statements, AFAIK.
That's it's errant to concern ourselves with what the perception of inequality is and that it's even worse to act on that perception being wrong.
This is a fallacy. How people feel is the first step toward their learning that something is wrong. It is also a very good gauge of how skewed things really are because the bell curve is actually rather close in it's assessment. (i.e. there will be people that under and over estimate but on average it will balance)
All I've been trying to do in this entire thread is get past the calls of this being a socialist act (showing this graph) so we can get to the agreement that inequality IS a problem. Once there, we can fix it with the free market, not government red tape. But here we are, once again, arguing that it's socialist to even mention the inequality problem. That's bogus.
Inequality IS NOT a problem...
History can give many examples of solitary individuals whose contributions far outweigh the collective average of everyone else's output (think Henry Ford's cheap automobile assembly line, Rockefeller reducing gas prices from 30cents to 5cents a gallon, James J. Hill and his efficient (and eventually free) train service, Bill Gates and the cheap, user friendly PC operating system...etc). I'm not trying to downplay the important role that everyone else has in helping these men achieve their dream. They all work hard and should have the benefits of a free market so they can achieve their highest marginal utility. But I don't see these leaders of industry making a 1000X more then the average worker as something that is a "problem" because its "inequal". I completely agree its inequal...so what? The president of the the USA earns over $400,000.00 a year and gets shuttled around in his own personal jet for the rest of his life. That seems inequal to me. America is all about STARTING OUT EQUAL its NOT about ending up equal. That's why I say this type of talk bothers me. This Eat the Rich, OWS mentality is incomplete and myopic. Yes, lets all focus on the criminality of unconstitutional federal actions that interfere with our chances at prosperity and give special privileges to the connected class at our expense...THAT IS TOTALLY WRONG. But insinuating that "rich" necessarily means there is a problem is not intellectually honest. There will always be inequality. There is no Utopia. The best we can do to ensure maximum wealth for the maximum number of people is to make sure theft and violence are dealt with swiftly so we can regain free market that benefits us all.
Mish hits the nail on the head.
Why are so many so quick to
Why are so many so quick to leave CEOs out of the competition loop that they place everyone else in when promoting the free market?
Same reason Obama supporters disregard his civil liberties transgressions: they've bought into the brand, hook, line, and sinker.
I bet it would be interesting
I bet it would be interesting to see the top 1% broken down like that. I bet it would turn out that most of the wealth of 300 million people is held by about 3,000 people. Which would be the .001% Which is too small to really conceive. Less than one person per football stadium of people hold more wealth than the rest of the people in that football stadium.
the Devaluation of the Dollar
...has had a MAJOR effect on all of us. For the 1% ultra-elites, it's had NO effect, not even for the upper 10%, but the middle class and down have felt the devaluation of the dollar.
Granted, we made less money in 1976, but that's the year my son was born, and I can tell you the cost of a loaf of bread was $.35 and the average home in America was $40,000.
That's right. Does that give you a clue how much our Federal Reserve has been printing? The problem with inflation is that our wages have not kept up.
As soon as we get wage increases, then, our taxes go up, and the cost of goods & services go up. The problem with the FEDERAL RESERVE is that they have kept pinching the Middle/Lower Classes to keep us in our proverbial place, if you will.
We can NEVER get ahead, period, end of story, until we put an end to what is going on in Washington D.C. And, the thing that is really, really scary according to Dr. Paul and others, is that the Federal Reserve, along with its partner in crime, the politicians, have printed such a phenomenal amount of money that THEY CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO FATHOM HOW MUCH THEY'VE PRINTED, NOR WHAT THE ULTIMATE EFFECT WILL BE.
We are nearing the end of this gigantic debt bubble. "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride!"

one more thought
I have no real ambition to be in that 1% of wealth because I know that wealth does not bring happiness. :-) It would be interesting to see a happiness chart.
Ayn Rand had explained the
relationship between money and happiness.
If you apply rational standard to happiness (not a warm fuzzy feeling of constant love spread between countless universal neighbors), then money does reflect happiness provided it is earned by one's own abilities and effort.
IF these charts are accurate and IF you think it should be any different than it is.....
I have no idea if the rich are that much richer and what that might mean to them. I do FEEL like the chart is accurate for the mid-lower area because that is what I do have experience with.
Anyway, the problem isn't the government and the problem isn't corporations. The problem is the people. The government and corporations are just tools. It is the people behind them that are the real problem. The real problem is GREED. What inspires those lobbyists to get loopholes? GREED. What inspires laws that favor one over another? GREED. You might argue power, but power hungry is really greed.
Thus this chart is just a reflection of what our society is or at least what our society lets be. If it weren't for greed (and maybe fear?) that money would not accumulate in a few folks, it would be be distributed on its own without government interference. Giving is not promoted well in our society, maybe because we let the government take over that function.
And, IF the majority of that 1-10% got the money illegally or by unethical means why haven't we done anything about it? Again, this comes down to people.
The answer is simple...
We have no recourse. Your health insurance company has swindled you. You attempt to take them to court. The judge owns stock in XYZ Insurance. So do you really think the judge will cost himself $ and rule on the side of justice? Fat chance....
Have you seen Jamie Dimon or the ilk go to jail? Why might that be....
End this Corrupt System
Fight Back, End the FED, HOARD Bit Coins!
"We've moved beyond the Mises textbook. We're running in the open market." - Erik Voorhees
I understand
why the rich at some point were killed and persecuted by the people because likely they deserved it because they used goverment to steal from people and oppress the people. I suppose that justification could be used now for this country and if people get mad and Shit hits the fan. we will thrown them on the barbeque and take their stuff.
When the bigs were deemed too big to fail
The decision was made to bail out the very rich with newly created fiat dollars, that spread the cost over the entire money supply. So it was in essence a wealth transfer, from everyone who had dollars, worked for dollars, saved dollars to the wealthiest who had over leveraged and were about to lose dollars. The bailouts were the biggest transfer of wealth from the many to the few in human history.
One word.....
Excellent thread, very
Excellent thread, very impressed by many thoughtful responses below. I would add this is the classic 'piece of the pie' video, this is go-to stuff for liberal/progressive arguments against free enterprise, against people like Ron Paul. This is the truly dangerous stuff because it is so effective in swaying the independents and independents decide elections. So tell your independent friends that this video doesn't say the poor and middle class have sharply lower standards of livings, i.e. they once had washing machines and now we're back to washboards, no.
What it also doesn't show unless you know what the numbers mean is that the pie itself grew at an incredible pace because of the risk-taking and ingenuity of capitalists in America's first 195 years and since about 1971 it has continued to expand through phony growth that won't last, through reckless monetary and fiscal policies.
The real enemy of poor and middle class prosperity has been stated elsewhere in the thread, economic interventionism and the inflation it brings.
10-15 million more voters need to believe in non-interventionism (liberty) at home and abroad to change America. Minds changed on Syria. Minds changing on privacy. "Printing money" is part of the dialogue. Win minds through focus, strategy.
Remember the reason the
Remember the reason the wealth is distributed so poorly is because our economic system favors the wealthy.This has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with fascism,corporatism and fractional reserve banking and the federal reserve system.Austrian economics proves exaclty what this video shows.The poor and lower class getting poorer and the wealthy getting richer.Do not confuse this with liberal,socialist or a tax the rich more agenda.This is a symptom of a diseased monetary system that is all.

Oil futures prices rose moderately Dec. 26 in trading on the New York market while gasoline and diesel prices reached levels not seen since September. Analysts said they expected the Dec. 27 release of a weekly government petroleum status report would show strong demand for petroleum products.
The US Energy Information Administration issued its weekly petroleum status report for the week ended Dec. 20, confirming an anticipated decrease in crude oil inventories. The report was released Dec. 27, which was 2 days later than normal because of the Christmas holiday.
Separately, the American Petroleum Institute earlier this week reported a surprise rise of 716,000 bbl in crude inventories for the week ended Dec. 20. API's numbers showed the gasoline inventory was down 2.486 million bbl.
Regarding natural gas in underground storage, EIA estimated 3.07 tcf as of Dec. 20, which was a net decline of 177 bcf from the previous week. Stocks were 591 bcf less than last year at this time and 313 bcf below the 5-year average of 3.38 tcf.
The latest withdrawal statistics were more typical than the previous week's report. For the week ended Dec. 13, EIA's gas storage report estimated a 285 bcf decline, breaking a weekly record withdrawal set during January 2008 (OGJ Online, Dec. 19, 2013).
A series of positive economic indicators has brightened the outlook for US energy demand, particularly consumer spending on fuel, analysts say. That latest indicator came Dec. 26 when the US Department of Labor said initial jobless claims fell more than expected.
US oil stocks drop
EIA reported US commercial crude oil inventories, excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, decreased by 4.7 million bbl for the week ended Dec. 20 compared with the week ended Dec. 13.
At 367.6 million bbl, crude oil inventories are near the upper limit of the average range for this time of year, EIA said. Total motor gasoline inventories decreased by 600,000 bbl last week, and are in the upper half of the average range.
Finished gasoline inventories increased while blending components inventories decreased last week. Distillate fuel inventories decreased by 1.9 million bbl last week and are below the lower limit of the average range for this time of year. Propane-propylene inventories fell 2.5 million bbl last week and are well below the lower limit of the average range, EIA said.
US refinery inputs averaged over 16.2 million b/d of crude oil during the week ended Dec. 20, marking inputs that were 302,000 b/d higher than the previous week's average. Refineries operated at 92.7% of capacity last week. Gasoline production increased, averaging 9.7 million b/d, and distillate fuel production increased, averaging 5.1 million b/d.
US crude oil imports averaged over 7.5 million b/d, down by 197,000 b/d from the previous week. Over the last 4 weeks, crude oil imports averaged 7.5 million b/d, which EIA said was 9.7% below the same period last year. Total motor gasoline imports, including both finished gasoline and gasoline blending components, last week averaged 486,000 b/d. Distillate fuel imports averaged 175,000 b/d last week.
Energy prices
The New York Mercantile Exchange February crude contract climbed 33¢ on Dec. 26 to close at $99.55/bbl. The March contract rose 28¢ to settle at $99.62/bbl.
Heating oil for January delivery climbed a rounded 1.7¢, settling at a rounded $3.09/gal. Reformulated gasoline stock for oxygenate blending for January delivery was up 0.6¢ to a rounded $2.82/gal, which was the highest front-month RBOB settlement since Sept. 6. The January RBOB contract expires Dec. 31.
January diesel prices rose 1.65¢ to close Dec. 26 at $3.09/gal, which was the highest since Sept. 13.
The January natural gas contract on NYMEX climbed 1.7¢ to settle at a rounded $4.43/MMbtu. On the US spot market, the gas price at Henry Hub, La., dropped 3.7¢ to a rounded $4.40/MMbtu.
In London, the February ICE contract for Brent crude oil climbed 8¢, closing Dec. 26 at $111.98/bbl. The ICE gas oil contract for January was up $5.75 to settle at $950/tonne.
The price of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' basket of 12 benchmark crudes was unavailable because the OPEC Secretariat office was closed.

With great (3D printing) power comes great responsibility: Printing keys & coins
BoingBoing blogged about reproducing keys from distant photographs. This made me think back off what we were doing at Hacking At Random '09 with our RepRaps. Ray had created an STL model (3D design file) of a police handcuff key. He had also made it based on a photo. He printed it back in Germany, where it worked in a set of handcuffs that he owned. On my RepRap we printed another couple of keys during the event. It's a tiny fiddly key, so its strength varied from print to print and needed some more tweaking, but it actually worked. During HAR they asked policemen to give it a try. Most refused, but then one of them tried it and it worked. And Ray told me that it was one of the locks that you won't open with a paper clip (too bad, because I also printed those).
Still, I will try not to give the police a reason to get caught. I don't think that I am heroic/stupid enough to use it to escape from the police, though.
Similarly, some people had printed out some HAR 10 euro coins.
inflation through technology from Leiwandville on Vimeo.
It wasn't used for real, but it did work. If someone would use it, the people at HAR would find out afterwards. They would know it came from someone with a 3D printer. Each home-built 3D printer has its own 'signature', so they could end up with me. Then again, the real reason I won't print coins for profit is that I don't want to ruin an event that I care about.
The fact that you CAN do bad things with a technology is nothing new. It's the same with the internet in general, where people can exchange ideas about bad things just as easily as good things. Now with 3D printing this capability is extended to the physical realm, you can also exchange 'bad' or 'good' things yourself. As far as the use that is beneficial to society far outstrips the detrimental use, we can be glad about this. I'm confident that this is the case, and that good ideas will propagate faster, simply because more people have the incentive to spread and use them. Having the knowledge or capabilities to do bad things should never be illegal per se. Doing bad things (like escaping from custody or creating counterfeit money) should be, however.
So with great power comes great responsibility...

Hello Troll Lovers...Thank you for stopping in and visiting with our troll friends.
Not only do they appreciate your visit but are excited about the possibility of being
part of your family.
Although all these trolls are retired now, as you will soon see we have hundreds of
them in our collection...and if you don't see what you are looking for, we will put you
on our wish list and contact you as soon as we get one in.
Following is a little information on the history of our trolls:
Troll dolls became one of America's biggest toy fads beginning in the autumn of 1963,
lasting throughout 1965. With their brightly colored hair and cute faces, they were
featured in both Life Magazine and Time magazine in articles which commented on
the "good luck" they would bring to their owners.
Trolls became fads again in brief periods throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
In 2003, the Toy Industry Association named Troll dolls to its Century of Toys List, a
roll call commemorating the 100 most memorable and most creative toys of the 20th

Is Washington too blue to elect a Republican governor?on November 7, 2012 @ 7:50 am (Updated: 9:48 am - 11/7/12 )
Democrat Jay Inslee holds a promising lead after nearly 2 million votes were counted Tuesday. Republican Rob McKenna was struggling in King County, which also held many of the votes still left to count.
Still, McKenna remains optimistic he could become the first GOP governor in about three decades, telling supporters Tuesday they would have to wait a few more days as mail ballots continued to arrive at county offices.
"This year, it will be worth the wait," McKenna said Tuesday night.
McKenna was meant to be a Republican triumph, as he had been steadily building his political reputation for years and developing a deep grasp of the issues facing state government.
"McKenna seemed like the ideal breakthrough candidate for the Republican Party because he wasn't an extreme social conservative," says KIRO Radio Seattle's Morning News host Tom Tangney.
Republicans last won a governor's race in the state in 1980, when John Spellman was elected. Voters ousted Spellman at the end of his first term, around the time McKenna was student body president at the University of Washington.
"In this state we have the longest string of Democratic governors in the country," says Tangney. "For 30 years now. I know we're a blue state of late, but we're not the bluest of blue states. I find that remarkable."
Seattle's Morning News co-host John Curley says as soon as Washington residents see an "R" by someone's name they just vote the other way.
The GOP has come close in some elections, most notably the 2004 race in which Dino Rossi lost to current Gov. Christine Gregoire by 133 votes.
Republicans had been cultivating McKenna as a potential gubernatorial candidate as he worked his way from the King County Council to attorney general. In that seat, he won 59 percent of the vote in 2008.
There are still many ballots to count, but right now, Democrat Jay Inslee is leading slightly with 51.3 percent of the vote over Republican Rob McKenna's 48.7 percent.
"I thought if any Republican was going to win the governorship, it would be Rob McKenna," says Tangney. "He still might, but that's really stunning if even a guy like Rob McKenna can't get elected in this state."

APA Program Recruitment and Job Opportunities
Post-Secondary Recruitment is Live!
With the launch of the Public Service Commission's Post-Secondary Recruitment (PSR) campaign this week, I would like to ensure public policy students and recent graduates of your university are aware of the unique opportunities offered by the Advanced Policy Analyst (APA) Program (formerly the Accelerated Economist Training Program, AETP), and would invite candidates to apply before the closing date of October 2nd. This program is an excellent way to begin a career in the federal government and many of our most successful graduates are former public policy students. We would encourage you to forward this email to your students and recent graduates.
The Program
The APA program develops high potential individuals for policy roles in the Government of Canada by offering recent master's level graduates the opportunity to establish a foundation of knowledge and experience in federal public administration.
Participants gain knowledge and first-hand experience by rotating through a series of four challenging six-month placements across the three central agencies—the Privy Council Office, the Department of Finance, and the Treasury Board Secretariat—and a line department in the National Capital Region.
During these placements, participants will have the opportunity to analyze and influence a variety of social, economic and international policy issues and gain work experience that would otherwise take the better part of a career to develop. The combination of hands-on work experience and training provides participants with a unique introduction to a rewarding career, and a chance to serve Canada and Canadians.
How Does the APA Program Work?
The APA Program is a decentralized development program, run collaboratively by Deputy Ministers, who recognize the value of the program and the quality of its graduates. Trainees are sponsored by a "home department" which pays their salary and benefits for the 2 years of training. In return, trainees commit to return to their "home department" after graduation for a minimum of 1 year.
Salary and Promotions
Candidates enter the program at the EC-03 group and level, with a salary of $59,756, and are eligible for promotion to the EC-04 level after one year. At the end of the two year program, participants graduate at the EC-05 level ($77,118 - $88,764).
Who Are We Looking For?
• Highly motivated individuals with a strong interest in Canadian public policy and governance.
• Candidates who have completed a Master's degree in any discipline (in the last two years), or be near completion (coursework completed with grades posted by June 2015, degree completed by June 2016). There is also requirement for baseline economics and research methods courses.
• Individuals with a strong academic standing, who have received scholarships and awards
• Candidates with demonstrable leadership qualities and the potential to be future leaders within the Public Service

The 2011 Great Places in America list, out this week, proclaims the nation's best 10 neighborhoods, streets and public spaces, as chosen by professional planners who make up the American Planning Association.
What this year's neighborhoods have in common is that they exude a sense of place. "You don't feel like you're in Everywhere, USA," says Denny Johnson, the APA's public affairs coordinator.
PHOTO GALLERY: Tour America's best neighborhoods
Other attributes: distinctive architectural and topographical features, and a sense of engagement on the part of the residents.
The complete list that includes 2011's great streets and public spaces is on the APA website. And this year's 10 best neighborhoods 2011 are …
Highland Park in Birmingham, Ala., with its multiple historic districts featuring 20 architectural styles, from Queen Anne to Craftsman.
Northbrae in Berkeley, Calif., is notable for its dramatic volcanic outcroppings and scenic views of the San Francisco Bay. Foot trails abound.
Ansley Park in Atlanta sports a linear greenway of 14 parks inspired by the landscapes of Frederick Law Olmsted.
The Pullman Neighborhood in Chicago, developed by George Pullman, manufacturer of the rail cars of the same name, provided decent housing for his workers.
Gold Coast & Hamburg Historic District in Davenport, Iowa, was dubbed the Gold Coast because in the late 1800s when it was founded, there was said to be more money there than in local banks. The neighborhood has great Mississippi River views.
Hattiesburg Historic Neighborhood in Hattiesburg, Miss., has benefitted from a high level of community engagement in caring for its historic structures.
Dundee Memorial Park in Omaha, an early street car suburb (now annexed by the city), has its own commercial district, tree-lined streets and a community garden.
German Village in Columbus, Ohio, was almost destroyed in the late '60s and early '70s by freeway construction. But the mid-19th century homes were renovated and the neighborhood thrives today.
Swan Lake in Tulsa, Okla., is another street-car suburb developed early in the 20th century. It supports an active farmers market, and yes, there's a lake.
College Hill in Providence, R.I., near Brown University, has great architecture and great views. It was one of the first neighborhoods to declare that historic preservation has value.
Does your neighborhood deserve consideration for inclusion on the Great Places list?

DNA by Bijan that I recently received is NOT the same scent that was 1st available in the early 90's. This scent however is very nice & I was satisfied with it.
March 10, 2009
Written by DawnMarie Rivell
I was unsatisfied with this perfume. I have a bottle of DNA that is just being finished and I wanted to replace with the bottle I just bought. I color of the bottle is different and the smell is different. I find it very hard to believe it's the same name and bottle with different color and smell. Very unsatisfied.

DNA smells much more floral than any DNA my friends have purchase, not as woods/spicy as it's supposed to smell.
March 27, 2008
Written by Carol
I ordered DNA without having tested the fragrance. When I first put it on, it didn't seem right for me, so I gave it to a friend. As the evening wore on, and the fragrance warmed to my skin, I regretted giving it away! I'm going to have to order one for myself!
