The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Rated PG-13)
by Gavin
posted Nov 22 2013 9:35AM
rom now on, I'm going to see movies that are based on books far removed from finishing the book. That seemed to aid in my enjoyment of this considerably. When the first
Hunger Games
movie came out last year, I had just finished reading the book a few months prior. I liked it but didn't love it and thought it fell drastically short of where the book had taken me. So either I was thrown off because all the details from Suzanne Collins' book was still fresh in my mind or the film itself just wasn't that good. Judging by the reaction of critics and fans alike, it was that the film wasn't up to snuff because changes were made to the team and thank God they were.
Director Gary Ross created the first film and this sequel was done by Francis Lawrence. Ross directed films like
. Lawrence directed films like
I Am Legend
. Neither are stellar directors but more like adequate ones but when you consider their past work, which do you think is more suited for a film about a post-apocalyptic America where children battle each other to the death for the entertainment of adults? Exactly.
In every single way that the first one fell short,
Cathing Fire
wins. Lawrence has made a world that feels as gritty and evil as it should. His use of FX is far superior than what showed up in the first one; the script is better, the music resonates but it's the raw emotion that makes this the success it is. Granted, this story is full of heartbreak and tragedy but no more than the first book had. There are scenes in this film that made me tear up and they were scenes that did not have that affect when I read it. That impresses me as an audience member more than almost anything else in the film.
That's not to say that there isn't loads of action in
Catching Fire
though. The danger involved in the games feels so much more real this time around. The arena is 100% scarier and more creative and all of that is actualized almost perfectly in the film. Most of that terror is hightened by fantastic performances from Jennifer Lawerence, who's really starting to prove that she deserved that Oscar last year. She carries the film firmly on her shoulders even with new heavy hitters joining the cast like Phillip Seymore Hoffman (
Doubt, Boogie Nights
) and Jeffrey Wright (
Source Code, Ides of March
The production company responsible for making this franchise has made the decision that not only was Gary Ross wrong for the series and Francis Lawrence is right but that Lawrence is THE guy. They've named him the director of the next two (yes, they're splitting the last book for no other reason than greed) films. Seeing
Catching Fire
gives me the confidence that this series I enjoyed so much is in good hands, will continue to be and is making me hungry for more.
Dallas Buyers Club (Rated: R)
by Gavin
posted Nov 18 2013 7:49PM
ometimes, it's hard to remember that Matthew McConaughey is a great actor. It's not just that he went through a phase where he did nothing but strut around the beach with no shirt on 24 hours-a-day playing the bongos and wearing crystals. It's that he did a string of really bad movies there for a while. Movies like
Failure to Launch, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Wedding Planner, Sahara, Fool's Gold
; these films are enough to write off someone as Hollywood blather and described as anything BUT an actor. But under that pile of silliness is the same guy who kicked ass in
Contact, Amistad, A Time to Kill, Frailty
. And lately, he's been on a tear with great performances in
Mud, Magic Mike
Killer Joe
. But would
Dallas Buyers Club
continue the winning streak? It does...in spades!
In the film, McConaughey plays a real person named Ron Woodruff, who was a straight, homophobic, good ol' rodeo boy from Texas who got AIDS in 1986 when it was widely believed that only gay men could get it. Instead of accepting his short life expectancy given to him, he seeks to medicate himself with non-FDA approved drugs from international sources and circumvents the government by then selling them to other people with AIDS. Through his self-preservation he learns to love the community he once hated and mocked and helps them fight for their right to choose whatever path they want to get better.
This is one of the best performances of McConaughey's career although he, once again, kinda plays himself. He manages to create a wonderful anti-hero who we learn to love as his transformation from bigot to man of the people takes place. The other stellar performance is from Jared Leto (
Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream
) who plays his transgender partner, Rayon. Their friendship is humorous and heartbreaking and is the soul of the film. It's devastating when you discover that Rayon was a character created by Hollywood to make the film more fun. Regardless, Leto knocks it out of the park and is even better than McConaughey; both deserve Oscar nominations. It makes you wish that Leto would stop pretending to be a rock star for 30 seconds (get the joke?) so we can remember that he's actually a really gifted actor.
Great performances are not the only reason you see this movie. Director Jean-Marc Vallee blew me away with his ability to step so far out of his comfort zone and capture what it was like to be a s**tkicker in Texas in the '80s. This is light years away from his period romances and adorable French films. The script is another reason to buy a ticket. A film about AIDS already feels too heavy for most people to swallow and knowing that McConaughey and Leto both lost so much weight that they look like walking skeletons makes it even worse but, I assure you, this film is fun. It has all the funny quips and show-stopping tearjerkers that Academy members love. It's a film that's handled with respect to the gay community (for the most part), tackles the difficult topic of AIDS in the '80s and does it all with a light approach. That's no easy task.
Dallas Buyers Club
isn't for everyone and that might be one area that holds the film back come Oscar time. Academy members like films that are serious but still fun, touching yet don't depress us but they also like all that done in a PG-13 arena.
Dallas Buyers Club
is not that. They do the story justice with an R-rating and I'm glad that they did. Aside from some stereotypes and fictionalized characters to make the film more marketable, it's a story that needed to be told and one that sheds light on a moment in our history that is shameful and important.

Thor: The Dark World (Rated: PG-13)
by Gavin
posted Nov 8 2013 6:36AM
veryone, and I mean everyone, has a favorite Avenger. Even if they know nothing outside of who is in the super group, they have their favorites. When I was a kid, my favorite was Wolverine (but we all know he'll never make it into an
movie because he's now owned by FOX) but my close back up was The Incredible Hulk and I think it still might be. All my friends seemed to like Iron Man and we all agreed that Captain America was pretty cool because he fought Nazis. As far as I knew in my social circle of nerds, no one liked Thor. He was the one character that didn't fit into their world because, well, he was from a different one and that seemed weird. But Liam Hemsworth (
Cabin in the Woods
) has done such a good job with the character that he's won me over. But this sequel seemed to have placed him back towards the bottom again.
This sequel picks up some time after the events in
The Avengers
just like
Iron Man III
did. I like that they show how the events in that film have impacted these characters. Tony Stark seems to have had a hard time shaking it off and has pumped doubt into him for the first time in his life. However, Thor seems totally unfazed and I don't like that. I get that he's a god and doesn't even really care about what happened but at the very least, his brother was the one who caused all that. The fall out of that relationship is dealt with in this but not nearly to the level of depth that it could have been.
Director Alan Taylor (HBO's
Game of Thrones
The Sopranos
) made choices that I'm not sure were smart. Actually, I assume that none of the directors that Marvel chooses for their Avengers franchise films get 100% say in what direction or look or tone the film ends up in, but I have to assume they have some. Taylor's choices have taken everything that was enjoyable about the first
and removed it. Action aside, I really enjoyed Hemsworth ability to craft humor out of the story that was heavy with "fish out of water" scenes. Taking a god from Asgard and placing him in dusty nowhere, New Mexico was funny. But this film takes place almost entirely on Asgard where he feels right at home.
The other problem that that causes is detachment to the film from an audience. If I see Thor in New York City or the American desert, I can wrap my brain around that and relate to what's going on. The sets seem real even if most of them are still CGI. But placing almost the entire sequel in space on other planets in what we know is a world created entirely in computers makes me not feel for anything that's happening. My friend Hank pointed out that it was the same fate that the
Star Wars
prequels fell too. You need real sets with real props for me to like it and this has very little of that.
It's not to say that
Thor: The Dark World
isn't worth watching; of course it is. Marvel hasn't made a bad film yet in the Avengers universe. But this might be one of the worst and it actually gets boring for long stretches of the film. I wonder if we liked the other films because we were excited knowing that it was building toward a mega-superhero film. This time around, we have no idea where it's going and that couldn't be more evident by the hidden scene at the end of the film featuring Benecio Del Toro as The Collector, a character that becomes heavily important with the mega villain Thanos for the next two Avengers movies. These hidden scenes are always fun but until we all know more, it's hard to really dig it.

HuffPo ascends toward top news sites as it turns 5
NEW YORK The Huffington Post will soon turn five-years-old - veritable old-age in Internet years.
As the site, co-founded by Arianna Huffington and launched on May 9, 2005, marks the anniversary, its proclaimed mission to be an "Internet newspaper" gains more credence every time its traffic surpasses the websites of its print brethren.
It recently made the top 10 current events and global news sites, with 13 million unique users in March, an increase of more than 94 percent over the year before, according to Nielsen Online. If the trend continues, The Huffington Post could soon pass The New York Times' website (16.6 million uniques in March) in traffic this year.
The growth is a remarkable feat for a site launched as little more than a collection of celebrity bloggers, a liberal rival to the Drudge Report.
Since then, HuffPo, as it is known, has developed 20 sections ranging from food to books, launched four city-specific pages and integrated itself with social networks, partnering with Facebook and Twitter.
Ken Lerer, chairman and co-founder, says he recently looked up the Huffington Post from 2005 on Archive.org.
"I was floored," he says. "It seemed really boring, very clean. It was great, but there wasn't a lot there compared to where we are now."
Now, the breadth of the Huffington Post - combining work from a paid staff of 70 reporters and editors, some 6,000 bloggers writing for free, and content from The Associated Press (they're a paying member) and other media companies - is considerably greater.
It's a low cost, high content formula that has proven exceptionally efficient at attracting readers, though it hasn't yet achieved profitability through advertising, which Lerer says is robust this year. (Greg Coleman, formerly an ad executive at AOL and Yahoo, was recently hired as chief revenue officer to increase advertising revenue.)
"I'm completely sure the site will be profitable by the end of the year," Huffington says. "It would have been profitable a lot sooner if we hadn't kept growing."
Maturing from primarily a political news site to a general interest destination is an interesting proposition in an online world where success has often meant focusing on niche markets. In some ways, HuffPo is beginning to resemble an old-fashioned newspaper.
"Huffington Post is still saying, `What people still like is everything - or a lot - in one place,'" says Ken Doctor, author of "Newsonomics: Twelve New Trends That Will Shape the News You Get."
"It's the same principle (of a newspaper). It's just some different content and it's organized different. The irony is just too rich."
Becoming all things to all people, though, could be difficult for a site typically seen as left-leaning. Huffington, who is also editor-in-chief, disputes that image, citing the site's reporting on the war in Afghanistan and on the public option in the health care debates.
"We don't have any ideological alignment with either political party," she says. "We have been very critical of both political parties at different times. Our alignment is with what we consider to be in the interests of the public."

Despite Alvarez homer, Pirates fall to Cubs
Pirates/MLB Videos
CHICAGO — Pedro Alvarez hit his 22nd home run, but Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano one-upped him with a pair of two-run shots off Charlie Morton to hand the Pirates a 4-1 loss Saturday at Wrigley Field.
Morton put the leadoff man on base in each of the first five innings. The Cubs left a runner on third after a leadoff walk in the first, Morton got a double play to end the second, and he retired three straight after giving up a leadoff single in the third.
Anthony Rizzo doubled to lead off the fourth, however, and Soriano hit his first home run of the day to center field to erase a 1-0 Pirates lead. Morton (1-2), making his fifth start since coming off Tommy John surgery, appeared to be in trouble but again got a double play before getting pitcher Edwin Jackson (5-10) to ground out to shortstop for the final out.
Soriano hit his second home run of the game, this one landing at the back of the left-field bleachers, to make it 4-1 in the fifth. It was his 32nd multi-home run game, moving him into a tie with Harold Baines for 59th place on the all-time list with 384.
"He can hit. He's been in the game a long time. He's a really good ballplayer," Morton said of Soriano. "Really, the scoring plays were home runs. What I need to do and what I do well usually is keep the ball in the park, and I didn't do that."
Pirates starters hadn't allowed more than three earned runs since June 12, a span of 20 games.
Morton was at 85 pitches through five innings but came out for the sixth. He allowed seven hits, walked three and struck out six in six innings.
"We got him up around 100 pitches," manager Clint Hurdle said. "I actually sent him back out for the sixth inning because he needed to pitch. He also only pitched two innings last Sunday (in a game delayed by rain for more than two hours), and that hurt Charlie as far as the continuity."
Alvarez, who joined pitchers Jason Grilli and Jeff Locke and outfielder Andrew McCutchen in being named All-Stars, is eight home runs shy of tying his total of 30 home runs in 149 games in 2012. He is tied with the Reds' Jay Bruce for most home runs (52) among National League players since the beginning of last season.
The Pirates totaled just five hits off Jackson (5-10), including Alvarez's two-out home run in the fourth inning.
"Every time it came to a push situation, he made a pitch," Hurdle said of Jackson. "When he needed to make pitches, he did. We didn't create any type of offensive rhythm. Every time we thought that maybe we had a chance to extend an inning and move the chains, Jackson made a pitch and got an out or got out of an inning."

Jim H,
What some do with spares is to install the new "spare" and keep the old one as a spare. This way you'll know it fits. I went away for a year thinking I had a spare impeller for my GM30F. Luckily the impeller held out because when I got home and had cooling problems I found out the spare I had was for a North American GM30F and my European model took a slightly different impeller!

New model tried in Surat successfully
Thomas K. Thomas
A call from asubscriber of one network can be automatically routed through other networks depending on which network is less congested in a given area or time.
Airtel, Hutch and Ideahave entered into an agreement to share the traffic load between them.
New Delhi, Aug. 10
Mobile network congestion during times of crises such as floods and bomb attacks could become a thing of the past. Mobile operators have found a way to make their networks interoperable with each other.
This means during any crisis, the mobile infrastructure of all the operators in a city work as a single unit irrespective of the brand.
So a call from an Airtel subscriber could be automatically routed through the network of Hutch or Idea depending on which network is less congested in a given area.
The new model has been put in place by Airtel, Hutch and Idea Cellular in Surat, which has been experiencing severe floods.
The three operators have entered into an agreement to share the traffic load between them.
"The experiment has been successful to a large extent in keeping the congestion off a single network as the burden is being shared by all the three operators," said an Airtel executive. The experiment by the three operators has been lauded by the Department of Telecom, which now wants a similar arrangement in other parts of the country.
The mobile operators also said the Surat model may not be a single instance of co-operation, which was undertaken on humanitarian grounds.
The service providers have already decided to share infrastructure in a big way and interoperability will make mobile networks more robust.Related Stories:

Mickey Factz ft. Marsha Ambrosius - For the Culture
Artist: Mickey Factz
Featuring: Marsha Ambrosius
Producer: Precize
Album: Heaven's Fallout (Re-Release)
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 7 votes )
Has it really been four years since Mickey Factz dropped his critically-acclaimed Heaven's Fallout mixtape? To answer my own rhetorical question, yes, yes it has. In lieu of the customary fourth-anniversary gift of fruit and/or flowers, the Bronx native's preparing to bless fans with something a little more exciting: a re-release of the set, complete with a few fresh cuts. On this new addition, the freestyle alum reminds us why he's still on his musical grind: "I do it for The Culture." Precize keeps it sumptuous and chill behind the boards, crafting a glossy synth backdrop for Factz' celebratory bars. Kicking the record off with a nod to Biggie ("It was all a dream, and I still ain't tryin' to wake up / I used to read Billboard magazine, now I'm on page one."), the rapper proceeds to deliver a rundown of all the reasons his life is the bomb – from LA. sun and New York nights to beautiful women and top-shelf liquors – and Marsha Ambrosius tops it all off with some fittingly luxuriant chorus vocals. There's no doubt about it: Mickey Factz has come a long way. Fans so inclined can celebrate along with him by copping his Heaven's Fallout re-release when it arrives on the 'net later this week.

Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, the courts severely limit your access to credit cards. But you may be able to start rebuilding your credit with either a secured credit card or a prepaid debit card.
Generally speaking, your bankruptcy trustee won't permit you to have unsecured credit cards during your Chapter 13 reorganization. In fact, you usually can't use credit cards or amass any "non-emergency" debt above $1,000 while in Chapter 13. And don't forget, your Chapter 13 proceeding will last a minimum of three years and a maximum of five years. During that time, you will pay your creditors either all or a portion of what you owed.
As the Chapter 13 continues, it's common for the courts to deny any request for new credit - even if it's just a request to open a credit card. To obtain new credit of any form while in Chapter 13, you must first get the written permission of your Chapter 13 trustee.
So before you seek any credit cards, make sure you're not running afoul of your state bankruptcy laws. Ask your attorney if you're allowed to have a credit card. And then double-check your lawyer's answer with the trustee.
Secured credit card
If you truly need access to a credit card, it's possible that you may be allowed to open a secured credit card, where you put up a deposit and those funds act as your credit limit. If you charge and pay consistently on your secured credit card, it can be a good tool to help you rebuild credit during and after your bankruptcy.
Another option, a prepaid debit card, won't be reported to the credit bureaus and thus doesn't boost your credit rating. But a prepaid credit card nonetheless may give you the flexibility you need when a credit card is required - say, for an online purchase or for a hotel stay.
While a Chapter 13 filing can let you keep certain assets, like a home or a car, you generally don't get to keep credit cards open, mainly because the court doesn't want you to keep running up debt.
Credit card use is frowned upon, because using them means you could keep revolving debt and you could charge on those cards over and over - getting yourself back into the financial trouble that may have led to your bankruptcy in the first place. Obligations such as mortgages and car notes are different. Even in bankruptcy, you won't be adding more debt to those loans.

Perfect for year round grilling, this easy recipe honors the classic burger with delicious, mouthwatering flavor.
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon McCormick® Grill Mates® Hamburger Seasoning
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 hamburger rolls
Mix ground beef, ketchup, Hamburger Seasoning and Worcestershire sauce in medium bowl until well blended. Shape into 4 patties.
Grill over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes per side or until burgers are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F). Toast rolls on the grill, open-side down, about 30 seconds or until golden.
Serve burgers on toasted rolls with desired toppings and condiments.
All American Bacon Cheeseburgers: Top burgers with Cheddar or American cheese slices 1 minute before cooking is completed. Serve with crisply cooked bacon slices.
Serving Suggestion: Serve burgers with lettuce, tomato, onions and desired condiments.
(Amount per serving)
Tried these as slider burgers last night. I would like to add that I added 1 tbsp. of McCormicks Mayonaisa with lime to the ingredients to keep the burgers from drying out on the grill and it worked perfectly. Usually when my mom pats out burgers to put on the grill she uses eggs and bread crumbs to keep them moist but the mayonaise with lime worked much better. They turned out pretty good.
Was this helpful?
Love these burgers! They are so moist and full of flavor!!
Going to try this tonight over Oak Wood and using the Montreal Steak and Olive Oil Mayo to see how this is.

Insurance Issues
You don''t state the value of the boat but if it is low you might consider self insuring
(eat the cost if it''s a total loss) This makes sense if you do the math in some cases.
It would be wise, and sometimes required by marinas, to carry liability insurance. I just purchased a liability policy for a 31'' sailboat for $70 per annum through State Farm. My formula is that if it costs 20% or more of the value of the boat per annum I don''t generally want insurance other than liability. Be sure to factor deductables and exclusions into your calcs as these costs can make the difference. Also take into account the survey cost if the only reason you get a survey is for insurance purposes. p.s. don''t expect to go to weather very well in that boat.

they are itchy all the time and i have noticed a sin tag on my left nipple which is hanging off and really painfull
Hi - Winter is a time of year when your breasts, particularly your nipples, can easily become dry and chafed. Have you been using a new shower gel or laundry detergent? Wearing a new bra, perhaps? Doing a lot of swimming? If you can't think of anything that's causing this, it could simply be the season. Please read our post on nipple issues; that'll help you decide whether/when to see a doctor about this. Since it's happening in both breasts, it would be very unlikely it's a breast cancer symptom. Still, if it lasts longer than a month; or if it gets worse, make an appointment to see someone, OK? good luck - PJH

Macy's declined to go on camera but said in a statement: "Ruby gemstones sold in settings in Macy's fine jewelry department are genuine. In general, rubies are heat treated to enhance their quality and appearance. Rubies also may be fracture-filled with a glasslike substance during the heating process to improve the overall quality of the stone. We have signs in our precious and semi-precious gemstone display cases to inform customers that gemstones may have been treated and may require special care. Rubies sold at Macy's are of excellent quality and represent an outstanding value for our customers."
During our shopping trip, we were never told about the addition of glass to the stones.
There was a disclosure sign that said precious and semi-precious stones may have been treated or enhanced by oiling, heating or irradiation, accepted techniques that have been around for decades.
There was not one word about glass composites.
"Each one has to be represented for what it is," Smith, of the American Gemological Laboratories, said.
Matlins added: "Without this kind of disclosure, the consumer does not have any idea what they're buying."
And no idea if they're getting a fair price, a practice that has some consumers seeing red. To make sure you know what you're buying, the best thing you can do is to ask if the gem has been treated, and how; if it contains glass; if it requires special care and whether the store accepts returns.
Get the answers in writing and then verify what you've been told by taking your gem to an independent gemologist appraiser. If you didn't get what you paid for, take it back.
For more information, go to the Accredited Gemologists Association, the Jeweler's Vigilance Committee, or to the American Gemological Laboratories.

Syria peace talks break off, no new date set: Brahimi
Published on Feb 15, 2014 8:06 PM
GENEVA (AFP) - A second round of peace talks between Syria's warring sides broke off Saturday without making any progress and without a date being set for a third round, the UN mediator said.
"I think it is better that every side goes back and reflects on their responsibility, (and on whether) they want this process to continue or not," Mr Lakhdar Brahimi told reporters in Geneva.
Speaking on the final day of a second round of talks that have been mired from the start by blame-trading over the violence ravaging Syria, he apologised to the Syrian people for not making progress.
"I'm very, very sorry," he said.

Column > Stop the Presses
'Rules for Changing the World'
This was intended to be a sweet little prewar column about an artist I admire, Rosanne Cash. Still sexy after all these years, she just released her first commercial CD in nearly a decade after having remarried, had a fourth kid, signed with a different record company and lost and regained her voice after nearly three years of silence.
I said yes to writing about Rosanne when the Capitol publicist called about Rules of Travel because (a) I've always wanted to meet her, (b) she was kind enough to blurb my Springsteen book and I've never had the chance to thank her, and (c) hello, she's Johnny Cash's daughter, though it's not easy to see the connection musically. Johnny is gruff, to the point and occasionally prophetic; Rosanne is smooth and subtle. Johnny is inspiring; Rosanne, comforting, even warming. I was hoping to learn something about where these differences derive.
Over cappuccinos in a Chelsea bakery, I asked Rosanne about trying to relaunch her career at age 47 in an industry that cares more about the lint in Britney's bellybutton than the adult ambivalence to which she gives voice. "When I first moved to Nashville," she recalled, "the first record exec I met said, 'Well now, we just have to make this girl fuckable.'" Rosanne resisted, and it paid off. "I guess I was naïve, but I thought I was this tough little songwriter, pseudorock chick, less kittenish than Chrissie Hynde-ish. And this has worked to my advantage as I've gotten older." Indeed, Rosanne is the first musician I've met who doesn't complain about her record company. "They get everything about me," she says.
What's it like to be the "Daughter in Black"? Rosanne has been sensitive about this issue for most of her career, but now with dad singing on the new album, it seemed OK to ask about their relationship and how it felt for him to always be on the road. "Dad belongs to the world. He doesn't just belong to his family. A huge part of his impact is defined by his absence, and it arranges your DNA," she says. "I really want to stress that I am not bitter about this--whose life would I have traded it for?" And the pressure? After all, did she have to go into the family business? "Because I am a woman, I do not have to hold myself up against my dad. My father is a truly great artist, and a revolutionary artist, and he is going to look back at the arc of his life with that joy or pain. I won't, either because I wasn't willing to make the sacrifices, or I never had it in me in the first place."
Well, that's about it for the nice, innocuous column I wanted to write. What with an unnecessary, unprovoked war on the way, that column became impossible halfway through my interview. Returning from the ladies' room, Rosanne informs me that she's to appear at a press conference the following day to support an effort spearheaded by David Byrne and Russell Simmons called "Musicians United to Win Without War." She also signed a full-page protest in the New York Times, together with Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle, along with a bunch of hip-hop and world music artists.
This kinda pisses me off. I ask Rosanne who really cares what a bunch of musicians or artists think about Iraq. Robert Redford on the environment and Paul Newman on gun violence are one thing--those guys have done their homework and know their issues as well as any expert. But what do Missy Elliott or Dave Matthews know about international politics? I suggest that perhaps the left has paid a steep price for the misimpression, shared by much of the country, that pampered, spoiled stars like Barbra Streisand and Alec Baldwin are liberalism's most significant spokespeople. Rosanne admits to sharing my ambivalence. "Yes, it kind of turns me off when artists get on their soapboxes. Art does not give you a better insight into politics. But if I learned anything from my dad--who, by the way, opposes this war more passionately than just about anyone I know--it's that if you're not willing to stand publicly behind what you believe, what good are you?"
David Fenton, the PR guru who helped facilitate the effort and the full-page Times ad, calls my pissy I've-got-a-PhD-in-this-stuff attitude about celebrity politicking "purposely stupid." The whole point of using artists, he explains, is to open doors in the mainstream media that have so far been closed to the antiwar point of view. "I've been turned down trying to book ex-ambassadors and national security professionals [by producers] who are clamoring for Janeane Garofalo and Mike Farrell. If we need celebrities to get people to listen to [liberal national security expert] Mort Halperin, so be it. That's the craziness of the media we're trying to open up. It's also the only way to reach lots of young people, who, believe it or not, don't read The Nation."
OK, fair point. I apologize. If the likes of Ms. Elliott and Mr. Matthews can go where yours truly cannot in helping to create a lasting, significant and sensible antiwar movement, then I'm all for it. I think it was Mark Twain who said nobody ever went broke overestimating the idiocy of the American television punditocracy. Kudos to Messrs. Byrne and Simmons for realizing this before I did.
Properly chastened, I return with Rosanne to the broader question raised by my talk with Jackson Browne last fall [see "Stop the Presses," Nov. 11]. Just what is the relationship between art and politics? "Politics are not good for art," says Rosanne, who says she finds that few musicians mix the two with much success. "Too much politics in art comes out of self-righteousness or bitterness. Too often, you lose the art, and then it is just politics that rhyme. And who gives a shit about that?" Then again, a handful of visionaries, she admits, have figured out how to do it right. "Steve Earle, Springsteen and my dad are among the few artists who can mix the two without affecting the integrity of their work. It's organic. They tend to step into character rather than rail against the system. And if it resonates on a soul level, it can change the world."
What? Three more lines? OK, that's just enough room to again plug my book, What Liberal Media? (Basic Books, www.whatliberalmedia.com).

Dr. Edward Quiros and his wife, Dr. Corazon P. Quiros of Borger, were just two of the many people who saw the attacks on September 11, 2001.
"Everything just stopped," Corazon said.
On 9/11, Dr. C.P. and her husband were in New York City where they were spending a few days to attend a re-certification review course for the American College of Surgeons Board.
"Our hotel was right beside Empire State Building," said Dr. C.P.
At the time that it happened, Dr. C.P. was waiting for her sister-in-law, who was coming from New Jersey.
Funeral services for Donna Gay Hunter, 63, of Fritch will be 3:00 p.m. Monday at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Borger with Rev. Ted and Jody Wilson officiating.Â
Interment will follow at Westlawn Memorial Park under the direction of Minton-Chatwell Funeral Directors of Borger.
Donna was born in Clayton, NM and graduated from Del Norte High School in Albuquerque, NM where she was a cheerleader. She retired from Phillips Petroleum Co. and received her Realtor's license. Her life centered on loving people and she loved her family more than anything.Â
On September 5, 2011, at the age of 80, Jacquelyne Cromwell was welcomed by the Lord and reunited with the love of her life, Stan Cromwell. She was preceded in death by Stan, her husband of 53 years in 2002; her parents, Eva and E.W. "Jack" Martin; and her sister Patricia Sue Sahli.
On Friday evening, the Borger Bulldogs benefited from their strong running game and physical defense to come away with a 27-23 over the Bushland Falcons at Bulldog Stadium.
After giving up 571 yards to Caprock last Thursday, the Bulldog defense looked like a completely different unit on Friday night limiting the Falcons' offense to 246 yards of total offense.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Bulldogs did not have to worry about moving the ball in the air due to racking up 342 yards on the ground, led senior Adam Bumpus rushing for 228 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries.
WHITE DEER-It only took 12 seconds for the West Texas Comanches to let White Deer know they were not going to be very gracious visitors Friday night. Senior Colin Coleman took the opening kick off 80 yards for a touchdown, as WT High played their first road game of the season. Alex Ramirez added the PAT and WT was up 7-0 with most of the first quarter left.
STRATFORD-On Friday evening, ehe Sanford-Fritch Eagles fought hard against the Straford Elks but couldn't prevail 34-18. The absence of key players due to injuries, and multiply penalties would be key reasons for the loss.
In the first quarter, the Elks scored quick on a run by senior RB Alex Chavoya. No other points were scored in that quarter.
Second quarter had Sanford-Fritch answering with many exchanges by both Bryans (Chris & Terry) before Chris ran a short yardage touchdown. The extra point didn't count.
Late Thursday night between the hours of 9:45 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on September 8, 2011, A female victim was walking on Union Street heading towards Keeler Heights addition. The female victim was at the bottom of the hill on Union Street, when a white male, wearing a mask, approached her and assaulted her from behind.
On Friday night, the Borger Bulldogs hope to get their first win of the season when they take on the Bushland Falcons at 7:30 p.m. at Bulldog Stadium.
After falling 63-49 to Amarillo Caprock last Thursday, the Bulldogs find themselves experiencing some deja vu of last season when they held a 0-2 record going into the Bushland game.
In the first two weeks of the season, the West Texas High Comanches have been one of the most dominant teams in the Texas Panhandle by outscoring their opponents 83-6.
In the win over Shamrock last Friday, the Comanches' defense completely shut down the Irish by giving up only had two yards of total offense in the game.
West Texas High Head Coach Keith Hardin has been pleased with the defense, saying, "So far our play on that side of the ball has been outstanding. Our defense line has been dominant and that has allowed our linebackers to make plays."
On Friday evening, the Sanford-Fritch Eagles travel north to take on the Stratford Elks looking for their first win of the 2011 season.
For the second year in a row, the Eagles find themselves in the middle of one of the toughest non-district schedules in the Texas Panhandle.
Last week in Sunray, the Eagles struggled in the second half in their 47-24 loss to the Bobcats.
