Tuesday, May 20: Today in Gold and Silver
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The gold price got sold off a few dollars the moment that trading began on Sunday evening in New York. But a few hours later it began to chop unsteadily higher. However, the rally that began at the 8:20 a.m. New York open on Monday morning got dealt with in the usual manner by the usual suspects 10 minutes after the open---and by the end of the day the gold price was back to where it started at Friday's close.
The low and high ticks according to the CME Group were recorded as $1,289.50 and $1,305.70 in the June contract.
Gold closed in New York on Monday at $1,292.60 spot, down one thin dime. Net volume was pretty light at only 95,000 contracts, so anyone with an agenda had an easy time pushing the gold price in whatever direction they chose---and that's precisely what they did.
The price path for silver was virtually identical to that of gold, with all the highs and lows coming at the same times---along with the ensuing sell-off during the New York trading session, so I shall spare you the details. The low and high ticks in silver were posted as $19.31 and $19.685 in the July contract. Silver closed yesterday at $19.335 spot, down a penny from Friday. Volume, net of May and June, was 38,000 contracts, of which 3,400 contracts was in the September and December delivery months. And as I said last week, it's hard to tell whether these positions in the far months are new ones, roll-overs, or one leg of a spread trade. Platinum was up about five bucks by lunchtime in Hong Kong---and then jumped up another ten bucks just before 9 a.m. BST in London. It tacked on another five spot in early New York trading---and it's attempts to rise further ran into the usual sellers of last resort. By the 1:30 p.m. Comex close, virtually all of the Monday gains had vanished. Platinum close up a whole four bucks. Palladium's rally was a bit more anemic, but even those gains vanished under the feet of JPMorgan et al during New York trading. Palladium closed down a buck. It was obvious, at least to me, that the sellers of last resort were toying with all four precious metal prices---and what surprised me the most was that they didn't close palladium down on the day as well. The dollar index closed late on Friday afternoon in New York at 80.05---but then began to head quietly lower shortly after trading began in the Far East on their Monday morning. The index sank down to 79.89 shortly before 10:30 a.m. EDT---the London a.m. gold fix---and then it looked like a buyer of last resort showed up close it just above the 80.00 mark at 80.01. Here's the 3-day dollar chart. The gold stocks gapped up just over a percent at the open, but then chopped lower, hitting their low ticks about one minute to noon in New York. From there they chopped sideways, but then rallied a hair with the HUI managing to close in the black, up 0.13%. For the second day in a row the silver stocks turned in a bit of a surprise performance. After opening lower, they rallied into positive territory---and spent most of the day bouncing off unchanged until shortly before 2 p.m. EDT. Then they rallied from there---and Nick Laird's Intraday Silver Sentiment Index closed up 0.66%. The CME's Daily Delivery Report showed that 28 gold and 167 silver contracts were posted for delivery within the Comex-approved depositories on Wednesday. In gold, Jefferies was the short/issuer on all 28 contracts---JPMorgan and Canada's Scotiabank stopped all but one of them. In silver, the largest short issuers were ABN Amro, Jefferies and JPMorgan, with 72, 70 and 19 contracts respectively. JPMorgan stopped 127 contracts---and Scotiabank stopped 13. The link to yesterday's Issuers and Stoppers Report is here. There were no changes in GLD yesterday---and as of 6:45 p.m EDT yesterday evening, there were no reported changes in SLV, either. The U.S. Mint had a tiny sales report yesterday. They sold 1,500 troy ounces of gold eagles---and that was it. If they follow last week's procedure, they should have a more decent sales report today. There wasn't much gold activity over at the Comex-approved depositories on Friday. Only 4,406 troy ounces was reported received---and a grand total of eight, one kilo gold bars were shipped out---257.200 troy ounces. The link to that activity is here. There was much more activity in silver, of course, as 367,190 troy ounces were reported shipped in---and 126,161 troy ounces were shipped out. The link to that action is here. I have a pretty decent number of stories for you today---and I hope you find some that are of interest.¤ The Wrap
There's a very good reason why gold and silver prices (along with other CME metals) don't respond to developments as most would imagine. The reason is because the price-setting mechanism, which is the COMEX, doesn't have anything to do with supply or demand or world events. Instead, the COMEX sets gold and silver prices on its own terms, namely, by who is zooming who among an incredibly small circle of traders isolated from the rest of the world or any influence from actual metal supply and demand.I'm not telling you anything new here, but it is amazing how gold and silver pricing has become so effectively captured by a private club of paper traders that anyone who follows the market could fail to see it. The rally early [last] week was exclusively the result of technical fund buying/commercial selling and the sell-off on Thursday and Friday was the reverse. There was no other explanation or real world influence on price this week or any other week. And for certain, future price action will be due to positioning by the traders in the COMEX's private club. - Silver analyst Ted Butler: 17 May 2014 It was another trading day where the gains of the Far East and London sessions were crushed under the heels of the trading algorithms of "da boyz" as the critical $1,300 price point---and the 50-day moving average in gold were both penetrated to the upside again yesterday. For the moment, it doesn't seem that they are going to allow any excitement in the precious metals, as the 50 and 200-day moving averages in gold are being strongly defended. Here's the 6-month gold chart. [In silver, it's the 20 and 50-day moving averages that are in play. And as we've already discovered this year---and every other year since 2011---is that even if these moving averages are broken, JPMorgan et al are there to snuff out any rally before they can get far. Will this time be different? Who knows. As Ted Butler has pointed out on many occasions, that although there's little room to the downside in silver, the potential exists for further downside price movement in gold, as the COT Reports of late have show that the technical funds are not loaded up on the short side as they were last year when an important price low was reached. It remains to be seen whether the powers that be still have that in store for us. Of course, if that is in the cards, they will certainly use the opportunity to pound the other three precious metals as well because, as we already know, supply/demand fundamentals mean nothing when "four or less" U.S. bullion banks have short-side corners in silver, platinum and palladium. JPMorgan controls the gold market with its long-side corner---and as Ted also pointed out in his Saturday commentary, they sold 5,000 contracts of that long positions, leaving him " with the distinct impression that JPM capped gold prices single-handedly during the reporting week." With about five minutes to go before the London open, I see that all four precious metals got sold down a bit during the lead-up to the open---and it will be interesting to see what happens as the Tuesday trading session unfolds in both London and New York. Gold volumes are already pretty decent, but silver volume is very light---and the dollar index is barely above the 80.00 mark. And as I send this out the door to Stowe, Vermont at 5:05 a.m. EDT, I see that both silver and gold are chopping lower. Platinum and palladium are attempting to rally, but each attempt, no matter how tiny, is being sold off. Net gold volume has just topped the 30,000 contract mark, which is pretty heavy for this time of morning---and silver's volume is nothing special. The dollar index is up 8 basis points. I note that Casey Research has a limited-time offer [it ends at midnight EDT on Friday, so you don't have a lot of time] on their Casey Extraordinary Technology subscription service. Alex Daley is all pumped up about the successes they've had over the last year, with an average return of 47%. The commentary is rather provocatively headlined " Gold is Dead: Long Live Tech". It costs nothing to check it out, which I urge you to do when you have a spare minute. The link is here---and Casey Research's usual 3-month guarantee applies. That's all I have for today---and I'll see you here tomorrow.

Tips To Protect Your Information
Here are a few tips to help identify suspicious e-mails and protect your information:
- Generally, if you receive a suspicious e-mail from a financial institution or online retailer, do nothing. Do not reply to the e-mail, or click on any of the links. Do not give any personal details to the sender.
- Do not provide personal information via e-mail, unless you are certain of a person's authority to have the information.
- If you get an e-mail that warns you, with little or no notice, that your account will be shut down unless you reconfirm your billing information, do not reply or click on any link in the e-mail. Instead, contact the company cited in the e-mail using a telephone number or web site address known to be genuine.
- Avoid e-mailing personal and financial information. Before submitting financial information through a web site, look for the "lock" icon on the browser's status bar. It signals that your information is secure during transmission.
- Review credit card and bank account statements as soon as you receive them to determine whether there are any unauthorized charges. If your statement is late by more than a couple of days, call your credit card company or bank to confirm your billing address and account balances.
- Be suspicious of unsolicited phone calls, visits, or e-mail messages from individuals asking about employees or other internal information. If an unknown individual claims to be from a legitimate organization, attempt to verify his or her identity directly with the company.
- Pay attention to the URL of a web site. Malicious web sites may look identical to a legitimate site, but the URL may use a variation in spelling or a different domain (e.g., .com vs. .net). Be aware that the true URL of a link is often masked in the e-mail text, so never click on hyperlinks within e-mails. Instead, copy and paste them into the browser.
- If you're unsure whether an e-mail request is legitimate, attempt to verify it by contacting the company directly. Do not use contact information provided on a web site connected to the request; instead, check previous statements for contact information.

Safety & Sailboats
Originally Posted by
This is the OP. I certainly appreciate your advice, but I have to disagree. I am asking about the current market in sailboats, and while I don't know much about them, I grew up working on commercial fishing boats off the coast of southern NC, with a whole lot of shrimpers, and charter boats and there were a lot of boats that went down because they were 40, 50 years old, had major failings that went unseen, cracked ribs for instance. Hull failures because nobody saw the problem for 30 yrs then tried to put the boat through the wrong storm.
Good life jackets don't help there, and that is the question I am asking mainly, can I get a good hull, I have a 1 year old daughter. I want a safe hull and rigging.
Many of the old fiberglass boats 30 to 50 years old have hulls that are stronger than the new ones and have designs that are sea worthy, more so than many of the new boats that are designed for lots of space below with a nice interior and sleek look, but would be a challenge in a hurricane. Lin and Larry Pardey have written a book, Storm Tactics Handbook, where they describe hurricanes they have experienced in a sailboat the size you are interested and had a rather easy time of it. They did not have much in the way of safety gear that I could tell, but they spent their life with sailboats and made a living at it writing, doing maintenance for others, and delivery work. What I find interesting about their books is the thought and research they put into safety. If all boaters were as careful as they, the Coast Guard would have a smaller budget. You should spend a year reading about sailboats, doing research online, talking to the secretary of boat owner associations you are interested in. Join yacht clubs and talk, offer to crew on sailboats you like, take classes, look at sailboats. Part of the fun is in the process.
Don Casey, the author of This Old Boat, has written a number of books on sailboat repairs. You should get a copy of Inspecting the Aging Sailboat at $14.95 list, or else get three books in one, his Complete Illustrated Sailboat Maintenance Manual: Including Inspecting the Aging Sailboat, Sailboat Hull and Deck Repair, Sailboat Refinishing... List Price: $59.95. Among other things, hull and rigging inspection with an eye for safety are there in his books. For the amount of money you intend to spend, do your own inspection and winnow out the misfits before you hire a surveyor that's going to cost you some money.
I am sure there are 50 year old fishing boats that are properly maintained and operated in a safe and thoughtful manner that you would have crewed on without hesitation, and much newer fishing boats you would want nothing to do with. Same goes for sailboats.
One final thought from The Voyager's Handbook by Beth Leonard (574 pages on 8X11 inch paper, rather fine print, with a lot of sensible info) "But infants turn into toddlers quickly, and toddlers are not as well suited to life aboard. Toddlers are too young to understand why they can't play with the gimbaled stove and too old to say where you put them. Their mobility is astonishing, their curiosity unquenchable. To keep toddlers safe, you must child proof an area of your boat and never leave them unattended on deck…Pre school-age children are more flexible and often adapt more quickly than older children. They can be taught to swim and understand the word no!" So, here is another reason to take your time on buying and repairing the sailboat, get the baby past the terrable twos before sailing. Beth Leonard also has a lot of info on the expenses of owning a sailboat that's carefully thoughout.

New Marvel Game Gives Stan Lee Eleven Super-Powers. And Immortality.
No one likes to think about it but there will be a day when Stan Lee's cameos will end. He may be an indefatigable 90-year-old but the co-creator of The Fantastic Four, Hulk and Spider-Man is still only human. But, in the upcoming Lego Marvel Super-Heroes video game, Stan Lee is pretty much omnipotent.
Stan Lee Needs To Be In Every Video Game Ever
Legendary comic book creator Stan Lee is the master of film cameos, and no stranger to video game appearances either, but it's not enough. He needs to be in every video game, from Duck Hunt to The Legend of Zelda.
Iron Man 3 Comes Out Next Month. You Can Play Iron Man IV Right Now.
As previously proven, the huge environment of Grand Theft Auto IV's Liberty City is a perfect playground for billionaire industrialist Tony Stark. Now GTA modder supreme H1Vltg3 teams with JulioNIB to create the ultimate Iron Man mod, complete with multiple suits of armor, a custom interface, and the ability to play…
Stan 'The Man' Lee Soaring Gracefully Over New York Might Be the Most…
I was initially skeptical about Stan Lee's cameo appearance as a playable character in The Amazing Spider-Man. Now that I've see this video, I might be persuaded to buy an entire Stan Lee game.
Stan Lee Has Video Games' Back
California's violent video game law, currently with the Supreme Court, is a pretty big deal. So it's nice to hear games have support from a man who's been there before.
Geek And Gamer Girls Will Likely Be Irritated By This Video
Break.com gathers Katee Sackhoff, Stan Lee, a rapping Seth Green, and several scantily clad models for this parody of Katy Perry's "California Girls," "Geek and Gamer Girls," which are apparently attractive women who love posing naked with toys.
Stan Lee Would Go Into Video Games If He Was Young
Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider-Man, X-Men, the Hulk and the Fantastic Four, among many other characters, is no spring chicken. He's 86 years-old. But if he was a youngster, would he go into comic books?

I had different cats in my house... and I know how difficult is... but these cats are an awesome models, and it is a great photo, too.
Thank you so much dear Óscar! :-) Cats (and other animals too) are a constant source of joy and wonder for me, couldn't live without them! This one is Camilla, shot in two similar poses which I've then joined together.
Angelo, this is perfect!!! I love how the cats and especially their tails are almost mirror images of each other. And the angle from straight above is brilliant!
I'm very grateful for all your beautiful comments Jeff Moser, Tracey, Louise and Laura! THANK YOU! :-)
Thank you Klara, she's been with us for over eight years now and she's really lovely and affectionate, while still retaining a wild and regal streak! :)

The Levi Coe Library recently was selected for a book-buying grant by a group called Sisters In Crime, an organization of female mystery writers.
The "We Love Libraries" $1,000 grant is awarded by a random drawing from a pool of applicants. The grant may be used to purchase any books, not just mysteries. To register for the drawing, librarians must send in a photo of the staff with three books by Sisters in Crime members.
"We don't judge the photos," one Sisters in Crime member quipped.
"This helps so much. We try to use our funds as best as we can, and this is a very significant amount for us," Levi Coe Director Loren Webber said.
Children's librarian Vicki Berry was in the midst of Story Time when she learned Levi Coe had been selected. All the kids and parents were really excited to hear about the grant, Berry said.
The Sisters in Crime members delivered a large wrapped check to the library Feb. 25. "It's like Christmas morning," one librarian said as the check was unwrapped.
Levi Coe librarians will sit down as a group to decide which books the grant money will purchase. The librarians have a lot of ideas – the grant is a significant size for a small library like Levi Coe. The total yearly budget for new materials, including DVDs and other multimedia items is approximately $10,000 per year for children's and adult's collections combined. This means that the grant represents a 10 percent increase to this year's acquisitions.
"This is huge," Berry said.
"We try to get a variety of books that will cater to all readers… I hope lots of people will come in and check out the new books," Webber said.
The librarians said they already have some specific titles in mind, including both classics and new releases.
Sisters in Crime member Kathryn Orzech donated a signed copy of her book "Premonition of Terror" during the check presentation ceremony.

Forget for a moment the Cannes Film Festival darling you saw last May. Throw out that sneaky, insightful summer flick that none of your friends watched. Today, I'm keeping things shamelessly mainstream. If you'd really like to hear my thoughts on Last Days in Vietnam, shoot me an email. We can discuss heroism and fear in the film industry over artisanal cheeses and a glass of Sonoma chardonnay. Among Mainstream Movies, the 2014 crown is currently a two-flick race: Richard Linklater's Boyhood versus David Fincher's Gone Girl. No doubt, we'll see some sharp competition as we head into Serious Films season (read: November and December), but our temporary leaders deserve a late-October boxing match before we all drown in Oscar positioning and award-baiting. Let's break this down in six rounds. Round #1: AccessibilityPurists will tell you that accessibility doesn't matter. Purists will say that films should stand solely on their artistic merits. Purists will be wrong. Accessibility is just as much a part of a film's art as story or character development. Regardless of a movie's subject matter, it's the filmmaker's job to draw us in, to quickly create tension, to make us curious, puzzled, intrigued. Even discomfort is its own form of accessibility. Whatever the hook, a great director will bend audiences to her film's world, and rapidly so. Boyhood opens softly, but confidently. We start with a shy six-year-old, who is staring in wonder at the clouds above. He's marveling about the size of the universe, or maybe he's just daydreaming about Legos. The film is at once dream-like and ordinary, depicting glimmers of youthful imagination next to things utterly ordinary. We may not be enraptured right away, but the emotional beats seep in slowly and steadily. Conversely, Gone Girl opens with the deliberate thumps of a heartbeat, ticking off its title sequence, then cutting, almost rhythmically, from one scene to the next. The pulse quickens, then stalls, then skips a beat, all in the first five minutes. The control here is classic David Fincher: tight, unswerving, even treacherous. Boyhood's first ten minutes will leave you in a fuzzy state of wonderment, but Gone Girl's will haunt you. Here, spookiness beats coziness. Winner: Gone Girl Round #2: ActingBoth well-acted overall, Boyhood and Gone Girl share one rarity: the leading man is the weakest link. Boyhood's Ellar Coltrane (Mason) is sometimes fantastic, but occasionally awkward and gangly, and not just because he's playing a boy going through puberty. In a handful of scenes, you can spot Coltrane among the actors around him: he's the one guy who's intermittently self-concious about his expression, his gestures or his lines. It's tempting to excuse Coltrane—after all, his 12-year-long performance is unprecedented, and he does a far better job than most probably would in his position. For a non-actor to blend in with professional thespians as often as Coltrane does is admirable. But TheCroakingFrog isn't a charity, and Boyhood must ultimately be judged for what it is: a theatrical production. Overall, Coltrane is simply good, not great. Meanwhile, Gone Girl's Ben Affleck plays the dopey, misunderstood Nick about as well as any character he's ever played, which is to say, merely competently. Like Keanu Reeve's Neo in The Matrix, you tend to feel like the role is bailing out the actor, the character's shortcomings perfectly matched to the actors'. Nick is by turns moody and eager to please, frank one moment, inscrutable the next. In other words, he's Ben Affleck. The performance is neither memorable nor offensive—capable, but never compelling. We'll call the leading man debate a wash. The supporting roles, conversely, are all quite good, from Boyhood's Ethan Hawke (goofy, surprising, rebellious) to Gone Girl's Kim Dickens (the shrewd, skeptical, small-town detective). My personal favorite? Gone Girl's Tyler Perry, who plays the flashy lawyer with a $100,000 smile. Once again, the two films fight to a draw. In the end, then, it comes down to the two most prominent female roles: Patricia Arquette as Mason's mom in Boyhood versus Rosamund Pike as Nick's wife in Gone Girl. Arquette delivers a raw, pragmatic performance, trying to do right, to find love, to raise her children correctly even as her own life bends, breaks, or even shatters. With a burst of desperation in her final scene, Arquette underscores an already stellar showing, proving the best, most memorable character in the film. It's a near-flawless performance. Pike's Amy Dunne, in contrast, is delightfully nasty, then sickly sweet, then venomous, a role that sidles up to the cliffs of caricature, before tumbling off merrily, even deliberately. I wanted to be mesmerized by Amy Dunne, but I ended up incredulous. Arquette wins this round for Boyhood. Winner: Boyhood Round #3: Technical MeritComparing the performances in Boyhood and Gone Girl was largely an apples-to-apples exercise, but contrasting the technical merits is almonds-to-grapefruit. Boyhood's breezy flow comes only from a decade of preparation, strategy, and pacing, the sort of long-term craft that makes a great American novel read like poetry or a brilliant software program run like butter. Linklater creates a sense of effortless art, but only through 12 years of organic development. Fincher, meanwhile, shows us every jagged edge, every seam, but all in service to his confident, unwavering mastery of the material. Fincher's framing, pace and cuts are precise, sharp and even diabolical. He dares us to keep up, then leaves us behind if we can't. So which deserves the award for technical merit? The artist or the scientist? The poet or the military commander? In the closest call yet, I have to give the edge to Fincher (Gone Girl). Linklater's free-spirit approach is bold, daring and successful, but its true strengths are artful, not technical (which we'll see shortly). On technical merit alone, Gone Girl's precision triumphs. Winner: Gone Girl Round #4: StorytellingEach film deserves praise for its storytelling, but for opposite reasons. Gone Girl perfects an existing genre. Boyhood reinvents one. With Gone Girl, Fincher sets out to make the ultimate detective procedural. We get (literal) clues, a hard-boiled investigator, a skeptical sidekick, and some tempting red herrings. Every once in awhile, the proceedings threaten to become formulaic, but Fincher adds a touch of humor or an ounce of dread at just the right time. We've seen it all before, but we've rarely seen it done this well before. But then Fincher goes further, turning the murder mystery on its head just halfway through the film. As the story winds and twists through its second half, Gone Girl becomes all the more devious, daring us to move, to breathe. The interrogations become ragged and desperate. The music grows harsher and more grating. And then, just before the film's emotional (and physical) climax, we wait in petrified silence—for five unsettling minutes, the film's world is calm. You simply won't find this sort of commanding, confident control in any modern detective series. Meanwhile, Linklater's Boyhood throws out the typical "coming of age" tale. Sure, we're watching a boy become a man, but we miss all the familiar, dramatic moments. Where is the life-altering car crash? The first sexual encounter? Hell, I'd at least expect a rousing speech at high school graduation. Boyhood has none of these things. Instead, we simply watch Mason's life in all of its mundane, silly and organic moments. We don't see Mason at his high school graduation, but we do watch as he drives home afterward, chatting casually with his high school buddy. We don't watch Mason visiting classes at a potential college, but we laugh as he chats with his older sister later in a local bar. What's more, Linklater sees fit to linger with his characters, longer than Hollywood would normally advise. Fincher might cut constantly, but Linklater stays put, letting Mason sit for ten, fifteen seconds longer, after the primary action of a scene has played out. These small moments say more about Mason's life than a big party or funeral service ever could. For Linklater, it must have been a risky decision, but it says more about the human experience than even Fincher's most dastardly edits. Boyhood tells the more human story. Winner: Boyhood Round #5: Cultural ResonanceYou know a film is special when it begins to trickle into day-to-day conversations, to frame discussions for days or even weeks at a time. Gone Girl passes this test, thanks in part to a strong marketing campaign, but largely because of the film's many sobering themes. Marriage is often nasty. Can we trust our intimate partners? Can we trust ourselves? It's easy enough to make a movie that tries to ask these questions, but Gone Girl asks them in new, chilling ways, enough to make us wonder collectively, as a society. Boyhood, however, taps into something even deeper...and more eternal. What is it like to grow up? Why does our memory work the way it does, with seemingly arbitrary moments dotting the landscape of our past? Do we want to be the hero, or do we just want to walk with everyone else? (Watch Boyhood's trailer again, and listen to the lyrics—a perfect match.) Boyhood's themes don't pester us the same way that Gone Girl's do. But boy do they stick. I imagine I'll puzzle over Boyhood's quiet questions for years to come. With Gone Girl? I had two or three lively debates about marriage and love, but beyond that, I'm just about ready to move on. Winner: Boyhood Round #6: Oscar PotentialWe may not want the Oscars to define a movie's legacy, but unfortunately, that's the reality. Oscar-nominated films tend to get history's benefit of a doubt, while the snubbed movies tend to lose their luster much faster So which film has the better chance to earn Oscar's approval? Boyhood likely has the better outside shot of a Best Picture nomination, if only because the Academy loves a good off-camera story. If Matthew McCounaughy can win for losing a bunch of weight off-screen, Boyhood might be considered for its epic, 12-year-long production schedule. I also think Arquette is the one possibility for any of the acting awards, so throw another bullet in Boyhood's column there too. Meanwhile, Gone Girl is much more likely to receive a nomination for a technical category, like film editing or original score (in my mind, Gone Girl's musicians--Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross—do cinematic music better than anyone in the business). If I were betting strictly on "which film is more likely to win at least something," I'd go with Gone Girl for this reason. The tie-breaker, appropriately, is Best Director. Unfortunately, I see this as a toss-up. For now, I'll just predict that only one of the two will be nominated, but whomever it is won't win, and regardless of what happens, I'll be upset. Whether this is an accurate assessment of the Academy Awards today or my own cynicism getting the best of me, I'm calling this a tie and leaving it at that. Winner: Tie OverallSo with six rounds in the books, Boyhood wins 3.5 to 2.5, earning TheCroakingFrog's coveted title of "Best 2014 Film Before All the Real Contenders Arrive in November and December." Congratulations to Linklater, Ellar Coltrane, and every boy in America ages six to eighteen. Now good luck to Boyhood staving off the winter onslaught. It'll need it.
Overall Winner: Boyhood If you're like most of America, you haven't gone out to a movie in months. And why should you? You've got your brother's Netflix account, your mom's HBO GO password, and an old college roommate who can get you anything overnight, complete with Portuguese subtitles. It's just cheaper and easier to stay home. But all that penny-pinching and time-saving comes with a hidden cost: really, really awful sequels. Hollywood knows we won't pay for original documentaries about the realities of divorce or the strength of the human spirit—so we simply get more Batman, more Bilbo, and more Bourne. Enough is enough. Let's tell Hollywood we're ready for something better. We'll take a quick look at a couple of series that somehow got things right, then count down the most stale series in Hollywood, from "starting to smell" to "spoiled rotten." Just remember: this is our fault, not theirs. Quick note: for this list, I only considered series with at least one installment since 2010, or series with firm plans for a new entry within the next couple of years. First: Series That Got it RightA. James Bond B. The Fast and the Furious Both series have avoided sequelitis, but for opposite reasons. Bond is the rare series that takes itself seriously enough, reworking old concepts, consistently featuring great villains, and even recasting the leading man every few years to keep things fresh. With the possible exception of the last couple Pierce Brosnan Bonds, you never feel like a new Bond installment is there only for the money. They've got a classic brand to protect, and they're not going to waste it on a B-quality film. The Fast and the Furious, meanwhile, never took itself seriously in the first place. The series made a few critical decisions early on—looks over acting talent, fast cars over intricate plots, one-liners over realistic dialogue—and stuck to them, churning out six supremely entertaining films in just over a decade. If only we could say the same for the following series… The "Don't Push It" Category23. The Before Series 22. The Toy Story Series 21. The Despicable Me Series The chatty, critically-adored Before series was a quiet surprise (Before Sunrise), then a charming sequel (Before Sunset), then a surprisingly raw drama (Before Midnight). With nearly two decades between the first and third entry, the series has already survived far beyond anyone's expectations. So let's be happy with that and not fiddle with a good thing. Similarly, we should proceed cautiously with Pixar's last great film (Toy Story 3) and the best non-Pixar animated series of the last five years (Despicable Me). Toy Story remained impossibly good in its third installment, while Despicable Me probably has done well enough to deserve one more feature film (already slated for June 2017). Anything else, however, and either series likely jumps the shark. The "What, They're Still Making Those Movies?" Category 20. The Air Bud Series 19. The Alvin and the Chipmunks Series 18. The Madagascar Series While we're discussing animated films, let's throw these three hidden gems in the conversation. Air Bud is now in straight-to-video mode, but with 12 entries, something had to be said. Let's toast the times we've had and put these puppies to sleep. Alvin and co. are a bit more worrisome (after 2009's The Squeakquel and 2011's Chipwrecked, we're all set to bottom out by Christmas 2015), but the real threat is the new soundtrack, not the upcoming movie. The world can only take so many chirpy, shrill pop-singles-turned-Alvin-mp3s. And yes, finally, the Madagascar series is still trotting along defiantly, with both a direct-to-video and feature film release planned through 2018. I think we all would have been happy to leave things in Africa after #2, but this whole thing was a literal zoo in the first place. Let's not pretend we can control it. The "Got a Little Greedy" Category17. The Harry Potter Series 16. The Die Hard Series Some series earn classic status, then take things one installment too far, tarnishing their legacy slightly, but not fatally. Think Michael Jordan on the Wizards or Tiger Woods' sloppy play post-2009. Say what you will about the Harry Potter film series (poorly paced! worse than the books!) but the films had achieved something resembling a satisfying hum by entry #5. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) had finally developed some acting chops, Emma Watson (Hermione) was clearly destined for a long acting career, and Rupert Grint was, well, Ron. Then Warner Bros. demanded that the 7th book be split into two, reminding us that the whole thing was just a big money grab after all. Shameless. The Die Hard series got a little greedy too, but only because it kept milking the series all the way through 2013. For anyone who doesn't know, here's the official rule: if more than a decade has passed before the last installment in a series, you get one (1) bring-the-band-back-together reboot, and only one. For Die Hard, 2007's Live Free or Die Hard was that movie. 2013's A Good Day to Die Hard? Now that's just embarrassing. Give it up. The "It Was Old, But Maybe It's Not Anymore?" Category15. The Star Wars Series 14. The Mission: Impossible Series For this category, things can go one of two ways: first, a classic series can be revived with stunning success…or that same series' legacy can be tainted forever. The stakes couldn't be higher. Star Wars is the most obvious example, with Episode VII looming in 2015. We exhausted the whole "but wait, you just can't make more Star Wars movies" narrative back in 1999-2005. Today? We're just numb. Episode VII will determine everything: whether Episodes I-III were the sophomore slump, or the beginning of a slow, multi-film death, more agonizing than death by Sarlacc. Mission: Impossible finds itself in a similar place, although the stakes (and chances of future success) are both a bit lower. When the last installment--Ghost Protocol--was first announced, it seemed the series was headed toward the direct-to-video bargain bin, or as it's come to be known in 2014, "Netflix." But with Brad Bird at the helm (The Incredibles, Ratatouille), Ghost Protocol was light on its feet, briskly-paced, and best of all, playful. Suddenly, Mission: Impossible has an outside shot to become another Fast and Furious action series: reliable entertainment, year after year. But perhaps more likely, the series will end up a proud member of the next category... The "We All Realized, All At Once, The Series Was Done" Category13. The Hangover Series 12. The Expendables Series Call it a victory. When a series ends with a truly rotten installment—so rotten that even the studio knows it—everybody is better off. We avoid the slow decline of straight-to-Netflix sequels. We go back and watch the good entries to forget the stink of the bad one. We dodge the usual "what went wrong" cocktail party post mortems, because, well, everybody knows exactly what went wrong. Trust me: this is the least painful way to go. The "Just Getting Going" Category11. The Batman Series* 10. The Iron Man Series** 9. The Pirates of the Caribbean Series 8. The Bourne Series These series all should have ended abruptly, but regrettably, are just picking up steam. This can happen for two reasons. First, the latest installment might actually be pretty good (ex: Batman, Iron Man), and the studio misinterprets the good vibes as a reason to keep churning out sequels. This is unfortunate, but not dire—not even the studio can take the good entries away from us. The far more ominous situation, however, is when a series' latest installment is bad (ex: Pirates, Bourne), but not bad enough for the studio to get the message. Rapidly, the studio begins to act like a spurned suitor whose object of desire didn't get the message across. A long line of misfires follow, each an attempt to "make up" for the last transgression, but each even more awkward and offensive than the last. And so we implore Pirates and Bourne: save yourselves the trouble, give it up, and move on, please. Maybe if we're both still single by 2024, we can try again. *I know the Christopher Nolan series is officially over, but I'm counting Batman vs. Superman (2016) as an extension. For reference: superhero films must wait at least one (1) decade between series before I'm willing to sit down for another slate of films. ** It looks like Robert Downey Jr. is done with Iron Man. But I don't trust Marvel to kill this thing. Hopefully, I'm wrong. The "It Was Immediately Old Upon the First Film's Release, and Somehow, is Still Going" Category7. The Chronicles of Narnia Series 6. The Divergent Series This happens most often with me-too film series trying to recreate the success of another hit. After The Lord of the Rings blew up the box office, Disney signed on to distribute the closest thing they could think of: Narnia! It was perfect. The book series' two authors (Tolkien and Lewis) even used to get together at the same pub in Oxford. While the Narnia series has done just fine in the box office (read: all that really matters), the series' entries have gotten steadily worse. I don't care how much The Silver Chair makes—this won't end well. Meanwhile, Lionsgate hopes Divergent will be the next Hunger Games (they even reference "The Hunger Games" by name in some promotional materials). The two leads aren't bad, but the film itself is comically unoriginal, a patchwork of Hunger Games-style class warfare, angsty teenagers, and stern societal rules. The film is desperate to make a bad concept work. More films won't fix this. The "Colossal Nose Dive" Category5. The Men in Black Series 4. The Transformers Series Some film series suddenly drop off after a good run. Others fade off gradually. Still others hang around for a decade, releasing a stream of similar, mediocre installments year after year. Not these series. Men in Black and Transformers are unique: they both began on high notes, promptly released terrible sequels, then somehow continued the negative trend, releasing third (and in Transformers' case, fourth) installments, each noticeably worse than the last. This is rare territory. We're beyond the low-profile flops and quiet killers—these films are Godzillas, destroying the collective will of moviegoers with each loud, terrifying release. In a metaphor far too tidy for the disastrous state of the series, USA Today reports that Michael Bay will "pass the baton" for future Transformers installments. Here's hoping he botches the hand-off. The "Please, Please Just Stop" Category3. The Middle-earth Series (Lord of the Rings + The Hobbit)
2. The X-Men Series 1. The Spider-Man Series And so we arrive at the worst of the worst. These series are the sadistic villains of the movie world, deriving pleasure from audience pain, insulting the intelligence of moviegoers around the globe. At one point, we used to joke about these series, wondering "how long they could possibly go" and whether people would "keep paying" to see the "same plot" played out for a third, fourth, or even fifth time. Today, we're past the jokes. There's nothing funny about turning 300 pages of a single children's book (The Hobbit) into three, 3-hour films. There's nothing funny about releasing eight X-Men films since 2000, with two more already in development. And there's nothing funny about rebooting Spider-Man after the Tobey Maguire series had already tried the world's patience, then adding a single word ("Amazing") to the series title, as though that excuses such a shameless burst of unoriginality. Stop the madness, Hollywood. We know we started it, but we promise to be better. It's time for a fresh start. I shouldn't make excuses. I haven't been keeping up with summer movies, let alone television, and so TheCroakingFrog has been puttering along with all the senile grace of Grand Maester Pycelle (Game of Thrones). I wish I could say I spent the last two months immersed in classic film. I wish I could emerge from hibernation with a five-part, 10,000-word feature story on how cinema has shaped modern culture. Hell, I'd be happy with a passable review of some AAA video game, like the latest Metal Gear Solid or Bungie's first post-Halo creation, Destiny. Instead, I've been getting married, going on a honeymoon...and playing iOS games. Let's be honest: ten-hour flights to London aren't going to entertain themselves. So with that in mind, here are 14 miniature reviews for 14 miniature games. I've given each title an Accessibility Rating for the Candy Crush / Angry Birds crowd (1=more complicated and serious, 10=pick up and play in seconds). I'll start with the worst of the bunch and work my way to the best. iPhones out.
Every year, I write a summer movie preview anticipating the best- and worst-case scenarios for the most popular upcoming flicks. This is part II for 2014. If you missed it, see part I of the 2014 preview here. See the full 2013 preview here. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (July 11)Dream After four sequels, one remake, two television series, and a "series reboot," Planet of the Apes somehow, someway still makes gobs of cash for 20th Century Fox. Gary Oldman proves a sensation, dropping the bumbling Commissioner Gordon shtick from Batman and adding some ruthless determination. "No more monkey business," he deadpans in the film's opening scene, eliciting cheers from longtime Planet loyalists. Compared to his previous turn as Gollum, Andy Serkis plays head ape Caesar with twice the energy and three times the creepiness. Even Rise of the Planet of the Apes looks tame by comparison. When Dawn tries a bit of subtle commentary on the state of the human race and our treatment of animals, everyone agrees its points are "spot on," and "not at all sanctimonious or heavy-handed." Nightmare Confused by all the similar Planet of the Apes titles (Battle for the, Escape from the, Rise of the, Dawn of the), most of America assumes Dawn is just a re-release of "some film from the 1970s." Even illegal downloaders nab Beneath the Planet of the Apes, assuming it's the latest version. Scrambling to set the public straight, 20th Century Fox releases an emergency ad campaign featuring Gary Oldman. The actor botches the spot, descending back into his bumbling Commissioner Gordon shtick and mumbling his way through the new movie's title. The film flops, but not before PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals), files a lawsuit, calling the movie "sanctimonious" and "heavy-handed." Last year, I wrote a giant summer movie preview in the spirit of Pat Forde's annual Dreams and Nightmares March Madness column. A year later, here is Part I of my 2014 Summer Movie Preview. See part II here! Godzilla (May 16)Dream Energized by a sensational Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Godzilla stomps its way past mixed critical reviews to the top of the box office. "Looks like the man can do more than cook meth!" tweet 14 film critics, more or less simultaneously. At a red carpet showing, no one mentions "Heisenberg," "Jesse Pinkman" or "Crystal Blue Persuasion." Only one reporter calls Cranston "Walter White." Meanwhile, a rejuvenated Ken Watanabe (previously, Batman, Inception) nearly steals the show—he hasn't sounded this profound since The Last Samurai. America forgets that this exact movie has been done ten times before and will be done ten times again. Nightmare Godzilla stumbles in its opening weekend, as Cranston's gruff performance gets buried in an avalanche of negative reviews and poor ticket sales. A week after the premiere, a Good Morning America segment goes sour when Cranston admits his angry, saliva-spewing performance "wasn't exactly acting." Meanwhile, Ken Watanabe hasn't sounded this ridiculous since The Last Samurai. "The arrogance of man is thinking nature is under our control," he says at a press conference, repeating one of his own lines from the movie. "Relax Ken," says a reporter, "this is Godzilla, not An Inconvenient Truth." |

Here's the background. This past saturday I was rear ended in Nashville by some lady texting or looking at the floor. Definitely sore as she was going about 50 mph and essentially accelerated through the impact, but overall OK, as was my passanger and the driver of the other vehicle. Truly a blessing. Soreness and bruises are annoying and unwanted, but to have all limbs and mind still in tact is most important. All else can be replaced and paid for, thats why we buy insurance! Also reinforced why I drive SUVs or trucks. Her car looked like a crushed tuna can on the front end, and mine looked like I just hit it with a few baseball bats in comparison, but still in very rough shape.
Called 911 and had police/ambulance sent out. I was just blown away by how professional both of the officers were, as well as the medical personel. Both saw my HCP and neither said one single word about it. It was my first interaction with police while carrying as I said in the title, and I was extremely pleased that I was treated with respect. No dissarming (which, I know, isn't disrespect but merely ensuring safety if the officers feel the need), no threats or 'Don't touch yours and I won't touch mine', simply not a word. Glad to know that there are some really good officers here in this city, and hopefully I was able to reinforce their mental picture of the CC population around here (not that it needs any fixing, just continuation of all the good things). Big thumbs up for the metro police!
And please everyone, don't text/look at the floor/be distracted while driving. If she would have hit a small car, there definitely would have been more severe injuries. If she had hit a motorcycle or cyclist, they would have been dead. Whatever you are worried about can wait until you are in park.

Carlo Rossi Burgundy California Table Wine

On a budget in this economy I bought a 1.5 liter of this to splash around with my pasta dinner tonight not expecting much. Surprisingly it did exactly what I often want wine to do; plainly compliment the food. It tasted nothing like "Burgundy" but it was much drier and simpler than I thought it would be. Not that I thought it would be complex or anything but I figured it would have a general "off flavor" taste and/ or a weird finish which it simply didn't have.
Wine doesn't have to be "art" to be serve purpose does it? By that I mean the wine didn't amaze me by any stretch it simply served a purpose and quite well, like comfortable shoe.
re: comestible
I wasn't expecting such an insightful response to my post. To be clear the thrust of my post wasn't a celebration of jug wines per se but rather a desire to highlight a simpler functionality of wine generally. I think too often wine is given an honorific position on the table; when maybe at times it should be allowed to have the same significance as the salt and pepper.
Thank you
re: Gussie Finknottle
E&J Gallo started that decades ago here in the San Joaquin Valley. I understand that their gallon jugs of "Hearty Burgundy" in the early days actually were Pinot. It was a very decent drinking and cooking wine at a great price.
Fooling around, I tried the Guru's notes on Carlo Rossi, expecting zippo.
But lo and behold!NV Carlo Rossi Burgundy (4 Liter Jug)
A Medium Dry Red Table wine from
California, USA
Source : Wine Advocate # 117 Jun 1998
Reviewer : Robert Parker
Rating : 81
Maturity : Drink: N/A
Current (Release) Cost : $8 (8)
Surprise, surprise! This light ruby-colored wine is off-dry, with surprisingly good fruit, an agreeable cherry, Beaujolais-like nose, light to medium body, and a clean finish without excessive quantities of cloying residual sugar. There is vibrancy and liveliness to this "Burgundy." This wine offers considerable value, but purchasers are advised to serve it in more handsome carafes than its original packaging.(Reviewed because it is one of "America's Best Selling Wines" - according to retailers and/or the trade magazine Impact. )

Farewell To Four Loko
Chef creates Four Loko themed dinner as alcoholic energy drink is pulled from shelves.
One Philadelphia chef is taking dining to a new level of "Loko."
Adsum chef Matt Levin will be served a $35 four-course Four Loko dinner on Monday night.
Levin stockpiled ten cases of the controversial malt-liquor drink before they were pulled from store shelves.
"As soon as I heard that Four Loko was being 'banned' for combining caffeine and alcohol, I started hoarding it -- with this meal in mind," Levin said. "It seems absurd to me that a beverage that is marketed and sold to adults over 21 should be so strictly regulated, and this dinner is my way of saying 'Hey, we can handle it!'"
Patrons were treated to specialty recipes including Moroccan lamb sausage, a BBQ picnic featuring Loko pearls and pickled watermelon rind and Loko pate de fruit.
Each course came with a specialty Loko cocktail.
Four Loko was pulled from shelves after allegations that it caused drinkers to be hospitalized after getting sick.
