« Iconic Character Problem | Main | Old Man on the Back Porch »
Sandra Bullock: Clinically Insane Like a Fox
Sandy, the aurora's rising behind us, the pier lights our carnival life forever
Oh, love me tonight, and I promise I'll love you forever…
I came to a very important conclusion after Tarini dared me to watch All About Steve: Sandra Bullock is either slyly demented or batshit crazy. I'm not usually one to dish on celebs or speculate on the mental well being of Hollywood actors, but this… This is different. I'm not some paparazzo hiding in her bushes, trying to find out if she feasts on the flesh of the recently deceased. This is simply an outside observer looking at her oeuvre and coming to the only obvious conclusion.
The last two Bullock movies I saw — All About Steve and The Proposal (both of which Tarini dared me to watch, because she hates me, and I watched because I hate myself) — are the sorts of films where every single scene prompts the most vital question in all of cinema: "Why?" When the closing credits finally scroll up, it prompts the second most vital question in all of cinema: "What the fuck did I just watch?"
These are both films held together with a thin veneer of cheesy rom-com, prompting critics and some audience members to disregard them as formulaic fluff. However, I defy anyone to watch either The Proposal or All About Steve and point out anything they've ever seen in a movie before. Okay, okay, you have to ignore the very basic plot details and character archetypes and focus on things like, say, Oscar Nuñez playing a manservant/male stripper or an eagle stealing Sandra Bullock's phone. A fucking bald eagle, the symbol of fucking America. Because the plot called for her to lose access to her cell phone. She could have had a dead battery and no charger. She could have had no cell signal — after all, the movie takes place in Alaska, the last non-Yukon frontier — but no. The Proposal elects to not just have a bird steal her phone — it steals her phone because it initially grabs the family dog and flies off with it, and Bullock rescues the dog by throwing rocks and eventually her phone at it. What the fuck?!
But All About Steve is the Citizen Kane of Bullock's off-kilter sense of humor, a truly inconceivable film that turns the world's least likable character (a vaguely autistic "cruciverbalist" who wears red pleather fuck-me boots that other characters think would prevent men from being interested) into a romantic lead, after a meet-cute that involves raping her love interest. (Seriously, ladies: if the genders were reversed, what she does to Bradley Cooper about thirty seconds after meeting him would make this movie Irreversible 2: The Reversal.) I don't want to spoil the movie — its trainwreck fascination makes it eminently watchable. It's the Lost Highway of romantic comedies.
It cuts deeper than that, though. This isn't latent weirdness. For anyone who had the misfortune of watching Comedy Central in the mid-'90s, you've undoubtedly seen Love Potion No. 9, perhaps her first lead role (a mere two years before her breakout in Speed). In terms of sheer lunacy, it's a film that makes The Proposal look like neo-realism. It takes its premise from one of the weirdest/stupidest songs in the history of rock 'n' roll and runs with it to the nearest insane asylum. I'd say, "They don't make movies like that anymore," but they do. Sandra Bullock continues to make movies like that. Two Weeks Notice, The Lake House (which is more of a dramedy and doesn't contain the same kind of manic weirdness, but is still pretty fucking odd), Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Forces of Nature, Practical Magic, the two Miss Congeniality movies — her filmography is littered with craziness. Even non-rom-coms like Demolition Man and Speed 2: Cruise Control are pretty batty. She's like Brendan Fraser, taking serious roles to fill time between her real passion: ludicrous rom-coms.
Speed solidified her as a real presence in American cinema, but it was While You Were Sleeping in 1995 that catapulted her to the pantheon of bankable romantic leads. That is a film with as nutty a premise as anything in the Bullock catalog, but director Jon Turteltaub — who went on to make the crazy-as-anything-Bullock-could-dream-of National Treasure films — managed to keep things uncharacteristically restrained, allowing the characters to recognize and comment on the insanity of the premise and letting most of the comedy come from character rather than wacky situations. Once Bullock had the star power to take the creative reins — she started producing many of her films, including the really crazy ones, starting in 1998 — any sense of reality left the building. These films exist in a surreal cartoon universe reminiscent of those nightmarish Warner Brothers shorts from the early '30s. Bosko, yikes!
Honestly, I love Bullock for this. She has a consistent, unique comic vision perhaps rivaled only by Judd Apatow (in terms of contemporary success). However, much as I admire the scope and originality of the movies, I must confess that they're mostly terrible. They're completely insane, but they don't make me laugh. That seems like a pretty big problem in films billing themselves a comedies.
On the other hand, I can watch them with the same compulsive fascination I usually reserve for hoity-toity filmmakers like the aforementioned Lynch or Jean Cocteau. They challenge my perception of the world and of what cinema can and should be, even if I don't exactly like them and will only watch them once (except that fucking Winky's scene in Mulholland Drive — love that Patrick Fischler!). I also can't help admiring a bankable Hollywood actor doing exactly what she wants to do. I'm sure studio execs say, "Sandy B. in a rom-com — cha-ching!" But she's taking the kinds of insane risks you don't normally see in Hollywood. They shouldn't pay off financially, but secretly I'm glad they do. I hope she keeps making movies like this for decades to come.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
One of the funding mechanisms for health care reform is a new 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on net investment income (NII) going into effect this year. The tax applies to higher-income individuals as well as to trusts and estates.
From an estate planning perspective, implementing strategies to reduce or eliminate the 3.8% tax is important for several reasons. First, these strategies help preserve more wealth for your heirs. Second, the tax will have a big effect on trusts, so you might want to consider techniques for reducing trust income. Finally, many popular estate planning tools — such as family limited partnerships (FLPs) and lifetime gifts — can also help mitigate the impact of the tax.
Does the tax affect you?
For individuals, the 3.8% tax applies to NII to the extent modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds the applicable threshold: $250,000 for joint filers, $200,000 for single filers and heads of households, and $125,000 for married filing separately.
MAGI is your adjusted gross income (AGI) plus, if applicable, your foreign earned income exclusion. Unless you live and work abroad, MAGI is the same as the AGI reported on your income tax return.
The 3.8% tax applies to the lesser of 1) your NII (gross investment income less deductible investment expenses) or 2) the amount by which your MAGI exceeds the applicable threshold. (For a list of income types subject to the tax, see the sidebar "What constitutes investment income?")
For trusts and estates, the tax applies to undistributed NII to the extent AGI exceeds the highest tax-bracket threshold ($11,950 in 2013).
How can you soften the blow?
For individuals, there are two ways to minimize the impact of the 3.8% tax: 1) reduce your MAGI (to bring it below the applicable threshold or at least minimize your exposure to the tax), or 2) reduce your NII. Strategies to consider include:
Converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. Distributions from a Roth IRA don't count toward the MAGI threshold, nor are they considered NII. However, the converted amount will be included in your MAGI in the year of conversion.
While the converted amount won't be included in NII and thus won't be subject to the 3.8% tax, the MAGI increase could trigger the 3.8% tax on your NII or increase the amount of your NII that's subject to the tax. A series of partial conversions may allow you to enjoy the Roth IRA distribution benefits while avoiding or minimizing the 3.8% tax in the years of conversion.
Maxing out contributions to traditional IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans, such as 401(k)s. These contributions reduce MAGI, and distributions aren't included in NII (although distributions are included in MAGI and thus could trigger or increase the 3.8% tax on your NII).
Shifting some of your portfolio into tax-exempt municipal bonds. Tax-exempt interest is excluded from both MAGI and NII.
Deferring income (through your employer's nonqualified deferred compensation plan, for example). This will reduce your MAGI.
Making gifts of NII-producing property to lower-income family members or to charity. This will reduce your MAGI and NII, and the recipients will pay lower or no tax on the income.
Setting up an FLP to hold investment assets and gifting interests to your children or other family members. This strategy can lower your NII by shifting investment income to individuals with income below the MAGI threshold. It also can produce gift and estate tax benefits.
Instituting installment sales of business or investment property. By spreading capital gains over several years, you can reduce MAGI and, in the case of investment assets, reduce NII.
For trusts, reducing AGI generally isn't an option. But there are several strategies for reducing NII, such as shifting assets into tax-exempt or tax-deferred investments or distributing income to lower-income beneficiaries. (The 3.8% tax applies only to undistributed NII in a trust.)
Another strategy for avoiding the tax on trust income is to use a grantor trust, whose income is passed through to you, as grantor. Keep in mind, though, that this strategy may increase your exposure to the tax.
The big picture
Tax planning is important, but it's not the only factor. As you weigh your options for reducing the 3.8% tax, be sure to consider how they fit into your overall estate and financial plans.

BRASHER FALLS Toy tractors, robots and cars were up for bid Saturday at the Antique and Collectible Toy Auction at the River Rock Auction Co., 37 Munson Road.
The north country has never seen an auction quite like this, said auction house owner Arno Lippassaar.
Most of the items came from the large collection of farm toys belonging to Henry A. Wilson, a Norfolk resident who died in April.
The highlight of the auction was Mr. Wilsons large collection of die-cast model farm equipment and rideable pedal tractors.
The auction also included a collection of rare Japanese toy robots and merchandise from the British television show Doctor Who.
The hall was filled with potential bidders. Some were regular visitors to the River Rock Auction Co., while others came from far away to bid on the toys and collectibles. One phone bidder called in from New York City to get in on the action, while others traveled from as far as Rochester to participate in person.
John W. Wintermute and daughter Kim M. Feeley drove more than two hours from Willsboro, in Essex County. Mr. Wintermute, who sells antiques and is particularly interested in toys, said this auction was even better than he expected. He especially liked the large collection of pedal cars, which can be hard to find.
Im really going to spend some money here today, Im afraid, he said.
The auctions are a regular event for Paul K. Ashline, Moira. He said he didnt have any particular item in mind on Saturday, but he frequently purchases items from River Rock.
I dont think Ive missed one this year, Mr. Ashline said.
Mr. Lippassaar was a toy dealer before he opened the auction house two years ago, so he has a pretty good idea of what the items up for bid are worth. For things he is less certain about, he uses the Internet or calls experts. But at an auction, he said, it doesnt do much good to see how an item is valued.
It doesnt matter what the Internet says its worth; it matters what two people are willing to pay for it, he said.
Extra attention was paid to the large collection of pedal tractors. Some interested buyers wanted them for their collectible value, while others just wanted to share a piece of their childhood with their own children.
You cant buy them anywhere anymore, Mr. Lippassaar said.
One antique truck made in 1920 netted $1,000, the highest return on any item.
Mr. Lippassaar said he did not want to disclose the total amount of money made by the auction, although he said it was 80 percent higher than he had projected.
The collectors were there, and they were hungry for it, he said.

Rich Products expands Ga. plant frozen food recall
The Buffalo, N.Y., company last week announced a voluntary recall of certain Farm Rich and Market Day products because of possible E. coli contamination. It has now expanded the recall to include everything made at the Georgia plant.
Twenty-seven people in 15 states have become ill with E. coli infections, with about a third requiring hospitalization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. Information available so far points to Farm Rich products as one likely source of infection, the agency said.
Health officials have identified the outbreak strain in two different Farm Rich products -- frozen Mini Pizza Slices and frozen chicken quesadillas -- collected from the Texas and New York homes of two people who became ill, the CDC said.
The recalled products, including Mozzarella Bites and Pizza Dippers, have "best by" dates from Jan. 1, 2013, to Sept. 29, 2014. They were produced between July 1, 2011, and March 29.
The company said Friday it doesn't know of any illness linked to the newly recalled products.
The nationwide recall does not affect products made at Rich's other facilities.

As someone who buys one or two pairs of running shoes a year, I'm acutely aware that they can be expensive. I almost never pay more than $100 for a pair, usually buying only ones on sale or "last year's model" on closeout, but I've always wondered if I did shell out, say, $150 whether my race times would improve, my occasional aches and pains would vanish and so on.Read more

This is best nail polish remover, it does a good job of removing any color nail polish quickly and cleanly. It moisturizes the skin around the nails.
Great product with great price. I was pleasantly surprised how fast this remover worked, is faster then any other that I have try..
It requires several coats and it is tricky to get it on without the streaking, took a little practice. Didn't last though. After only two days big BIG pieces started chipping off. Now I'm finding the bad part about putting all those coats on to make it not look streaky is it's really difficult to get it off. It chips off but is difficult to get all of it off even with using acetone polish remover and soaking which then makes the nail dry out! So now I have little pieces that will not come off on just about every toe! Chipping after just two days along with this much trouble getting it off makes it not worth the $9 purchase price!!
Smells and acts like super glue. Dreadful to apply. Streaky and extremely hard to remove. Threw it away after two uses.

The RNIB are a charity who give advice and support to blind and partially sighted population in the UK. They're vocal campaigners of equal rights for everyone regardless of visual ability and have launched numerous legal actions against companies with non compliant websites in terms of the Equality Act 2010. The most recent example of this was serving legal proceedings on bmibaby in January.
Financial services
They've had a keen interest in financial services for years, but in late 2011 reported banks were failing blind customers, and more recently launched the Talking Cash Machine campaign aimed at making ATMs accessible to the blind.
Their interest in banks looks to be stepping up, with the launch of The Banking Experience this Monday 23rd April. This event will launch the attached document which is a best practice guide for building a more inclusive experience for all customers.
Why is this relevant to our interests?
Aside from the obvious moral responsibilities (corporate social responsibility), there are legal implications of not complying with the Equality Act, which the RNIB are happy to point out very publicly via the press and legal challenges.
Number one in the RNIB ten point checklist is "train your staff." We all need to be aware about the impact of inaccessible solutions, first to the customer and second to our reputation.

What's Your Retirement Dream?
Choosing to Operate a Bed and Breakfast
When we made the decision to open our home as The Barstow House 1888 Bed and Breakfast, we did so because we loved meeting new people and welcoming them to this area. We knew we would enjoying sharing the history of our home and the area. Andy loves the creative challenge of our flower gardens and the care of the house, and Maureen loves to welcome our guests with good food. We both believe that kindness, comfort, and a relaxing atmosphere, are the necessary qualities to ANY bed and breakfast stay.
This is our 8th season, and we have decided it is time to give someone else a chance to find their retirement dream. Why might you consider running a bed and breakfast? Probably for some of the same reasons we chose to. After retiring from our teaching careers, we knew we still wanted to meet new and interesting people and welcome them to our home.
We weren't ready to stop working, and the Bed and Breakfast business gave us a part-time business in which we could be as busy as we wanted to be, and still leave us time to pursue other interests.
We continue to operate The Barstow House 1888 until September 1, 2014. After that date, we will continue to look for new owners who will love this house as much as we have.

While a little moisture hit the area last weekend, it wasn't even enough to wet the whistle of nature. Much of the snowpack in the mountains has already melted and officials at the state as well as local level have started discussing methods to encourage residents across Utah to conserve water.

Around 3 years ago, I went to the doctor for a check up. I was right around 250lbs, very out of shape and the doctor was wanting to put me on blood pressure meds! Well, no way I was going to start taking meds for something that I knew could be fixed with diet and exercise. I started with changing my diet and eating better foods. Not Paleo but it was better than the almost daily Mickey D's I'd been eating previously. A close friend of mine had just gotten his CF Level 1 certification and asked if I would be his "guinea pig" so he could get some experience training people in CrossFit. I was all for it.
When I first joined the gym, I had been doing CrossFit for a few months out of my buddy's garage. Our schedules weren't working out for us to continue that any longer and he brought me down to CFEV since he knew the owners. This was even before Jessica Law (JLaw) was a trainer there!
I've been a member at CF East Village for just about 2 1/2 years now I think. I was one of the "early birds" and signed up about a month after the box opened. Back then, the free Saturday workouts were being held at Petco Park, in the actual park area behind the score board. Had allot of fun doing WODs there!
Well, I was still out of shape but I quickly started getting better and better with great coaching from the CFEV crew. When I started at CFEV, I could only manage about 2 pull-ups (dead hang even, didn't know how to kip yet) and was still struggling with the basic Oly movements that are fundamental to CrossFit. Jlaw, Grant and Jake got me straightened out and soon I was doing much better with the WODs. Pretty much a similar story to many of the current members that have been around for a while now.
Eventually I got to the point that I wanted to start doing something different from the programmed WODs and expand my workouts, taking advantage of the open gym. CFEV is just about the only gym I know of that has an open gym policy by the way. Not just in San Diego but anywhere. One of the many qualities that makes CFEV so unique.
I started training with some of the close friends that I had made at the box and started seeing real improvements. Then we did Fran, which for me was my first time. Took me around 6:30 to complete that first time!
Since then, with great friends to train with and guidance from the CFEV trainers when needed, I have dropped my Fran down to a PR of 4:21. I've competed in 2 local CrossFit competitions, the Next Level Invitational series (I think there is a poster in the box about that series) and most recently a powerlifting competition. I may not have done very well but if you look at where I was about 3 years ago, that is huge! I've also completed my Level 1 CrossFit trainer certification. I'm at a steady 214lbs now and it's more muscle than fat. Not too bad for a 43 year old guy!
I've made some great and lasting friends here at CFEV and hopefully more to come. CFEV and CrossFit have changed my life and the way I live it. This is a lasting change and something that I will never give up.
Thanks CrossFit East Village!

New painkiller Tapentadol ER may be Oxycodone CR alternative
The painkiller, called tapentadol ER, could provide a new alternative for the relief of chronic pain if approved by the FDA.
Researchers say they examined the safety and tolerability of the drug in people with chronic knee or hip osteoarthritis pain or pain in the lower back, compared to people taking the better known and older oxycodone CR.
The study, published in the journal Pain Practice, shows that tapentadol ER is associated with a lower overall incidence of adverse gastrointestinal problems than oxycodone CR. Fewer patients taking tapentadol ER tablets suffered constipation, nausea, and bouts of vomiting than people on oxycodone, the study shows.
The incidence of gastrointestinal side effects including constipation, nausea, or vomiting leading to discontinuation in the study was 2.5 times greater in patients taking oxycodone than those taking tapentadol ER, researchers say.
Also, tapentadol ER provided sustainable relief of moderate to severe chronic knee or hip osteoarthritis pain or chronic low back pain for up to a year.
"We are encouraged by these study results as they illustrate the tolerability of tapentadol ER compared with oxycodone CR, a standard chronic pain treatment," Bruce Moskovitz, MD, of Ortho-McNeil Janssen Scientific Affairs, says in a news release. "We are pleased about the possibility of bringing this important investigational compound forward to patients in the future."
Comparing Side Effects
The objective of the study was to determine the safety of taking tapentadol ER in strengths of 100 milligrams to 250 milligrams two times a day over a one-year period and comparing its effectiveness and safety to oxycodone CR.
The researchers say 894 patients took tapentadol ER and 223 oxycodone. The overall incidence of patients having at least one adverse gastrointestinal event was 85.7% in the tapentadol ER group, compared to 90.6% in those taking oxycodone CR.
The most common side effects included constipation, nausea, dizziness, somnolence, vomiting, headache, fatigue, and pruritus, an unpleasant sensation that makes a person feel a need to scratch.
Chronic pain affects an estimated 100 million Americans, and osteoarthritis pain and low back pain are particularly prevalent, researchers say, affecting 27 million people in the U.S.
In developed countries, chronic low back pain is the most common cause of disability.
Researchers say that extended-release opioid painkillers have been shown to provide relief for people with moderate to severe pain, but many are associated with high incidences of gastrointestinal problems.
"The favorable gastrointestinal tolerability profile observed for tapentadol ER over the one-year treatment period may improve patient compliance with long-term analgesic treatment," the researchers write.
Tapentadol is a product of Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research and Development in Raritan, N.J., and Grunenthal GmbH of Aachen, Germany, which conducted the study.
An immediate-release form of tapentadol, called Nucynta, was approved by the FDA in November 2008. Johnson & Johnson has asked the FDA to approve the extended release formulation of the drug.

WOONSOCKET – Esther Lebron, an early childhood education teacher at Connecting for Children and Families, is the recipient of one of 50 Terri Lynne Lokoff/Children's TYLENOL National Child Care Teacher awards selected from a pool of nationwide applicants.
Lebron will receive $1,000 during a ceremony at the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia on April 14, according to the Terri Lynne Lokoff Child Care Foundation.
Lebron was recognized for her proposal to implement a new educational project she calls "The World at Our Fingertips" in which she envisions using computers to enhance children's exposure to positive cultural messages.
"I believe this will help to engage the children in reading readiness, language development, as well as a variety of cultures and activities they may not experience on a regular basis," Lebron said. "The goal for my children is to expose them to new material that will help in their growth, developmental skills and to introduce them to things that they might not be able to experience while at their homes."
The cash award will be be used to purchase equipment Lebron needs to implement the program.
Like Lebron, all the award recipients proposed an enhancement project to promote educational, social and emotional benefits for children in their care. A committee of national early childhood educators and experts scored the applications.
Since 1994, the TLLCCF has presented 635 awards totaling more than $600,000 to early care and education providers.
"Child care teachers are professionals," said TLLCCF Director Alan Miller. "Their curriculum-based lesson plans are designed to further children's natural creativity and stimulate curiosity to explore."
Based in King of Prussia, Pa., TLLCCF is a non-profit organization established in 1987 in memory of Terri Lynne Lokoff, a devoted child care teacher.

Shear Brilliance
Since his classic performance as Derek Smalls in ŌĆ£This is Spinal Tap,ŌĆØ Harry Shearer has done everything from voicing Mr. Burns on ŌĆ£The SimpsonsŌĆØ to hosting his own radio program, ŌĆ£Le Show.ŌĆØ Spark NetworksŌĆÖ President Greg Liberman sat down with Shearer for an all-too-brief interview while the actor publicized ŌĆ£For Your Consideration,ŌĆØ the latest comedy from Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy. The film follows the misadventures behind the scenes of ŌĆ£Home for Purim,ŌĆØ a melodramatic weeper about a Jewish family in the South circa World War II, when Oscar buzz erupts on the set.
GREG: In the movie, you play Victor Allan Miller, whose best-known role, prior to Home for Purim, was Irv the Foot Long Weiner. What are your favorite Jewish foods?
HARRY SHEARER: No. 1 on the list would be New York corn rye from Nate ŌĆśN AlŌĆÖs. And itŌĆÖs sort of ironic, I grew up having eaten that, and went to New York and I thought, ŌĆ£Oh boy!ŌĆØ But the rye bread in New York is nowhere near what we call New York corn rye, so I was bitterly disappointed.
When I was a kid, I loved Jewish salami. I havenŌĆÖt eaten it lately ŌĆścause they put sodium nitrate in it. Then my mom, I donŌĆÖt think this is Jewish, but my first food I ever remember eating and loving was braised beef tongue, so IŌĆÖll claim that. Also, I canŌĆÖt leave out brisket. I actually am the author of a dish that one deli one day is going to name after me. I was at the Stage Deli a couple of weeks ago and this waitress said, ŌĆ£Dahling, IŌĆÖve been here for 26 years and nobody has ever ordered that!ŌĆØ Brisket and scrambled eggs together. ThatŌĆÖs so good!
GREG: The Harry Shearer.
I actually am the author of a dish that one deli one day is going to name after meŌĆ" Brisket and scrambled eggs together. ThatŌĆÖs so good.
HARRY: ItŌĆÖs the Harry Shearer. Ask for it by name.
GREG: I will, next time IŌĆÖm at the Stage Deli.
HARRY: Yeah, or anywhere. Ask for it at any deli.
GREG: Was Purim a holiday that you enjoyed while growing up?
HARRY: Enjoyed in the sense of ignored, yes. Yeah, I enjoyed not celebrating it. I knew about it. I was told about it. I think my family members had celebrated it back where they came from, but I think it was a minor holiday.
GREG: In the movie, thereŌĆÖs a lot of buzz starting on the Internet about members of the ŌĆ£Home for PurimŌĆØ cast potentially being nominated for Oscars. Then, Chuck Porter [host of a program like ŌĆ£Entertainment TonightŌĆØ] shows up on the doorstep of those who werenŌĆÖt, that very morning. YouŌĆÖve won a number of awards. How would you haveŌĆō
HARRY: I have?
GREG: How would you react if you were in that situation and Chuck Porter was on Harry ShearerŌĆÖs doorstep?
HARRY: First, IŌĆÖd be reacting the way I did when you said IŌĆÖd won a number of awards, ŌĆścause I think IŌĆÖve won all of two and stolen one for a grand total of three.
The reaction that Victor had is very close to what I would have, in the sense that when I made that choice for the character, it was very instinctive and intuitive. ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt show them how hurt you are.ŌĆØ YouŌĆÖve gotta show the puppy dog eagerness because maybe somebody [important] will see you this morning and think, ŌĆ£Hey, I like what he did with that,ŌĆØ and all that stupid stuff. So I think that might be pretty much it. Then, the minute the camera was off, IŌĆÖd say, ŌĆ£Get the [expletive deleted] off of my property.ŌĆØ
GREG: YouŌĆÖve done a wide variety of things in show business, and obviously a number of movies and TV showsŌĆöWorking with these people is about as good as it getsŌĆ" You look around the set and everybody there is somebody youŌĆÖve wanted to do scenes with.
HARRY: And won all those awards.
GREG: How does working on a quasi-unscripted film compare to working on a conventional film? And do you enjoy one more than the other?
HARRY: Working with these people, with Christopher directing, is about as good as it gets. You look around the set and everybody there is somebody that youŌĆÖve wanted to do scenes with. In this movie, itŌĆÖs like ŌĆ£Great, finally, after all these years of wishing, I get to do scenes with Catherine [OŌĆÖHara]; I get to do scenes with Parker [Posey], and Chris Moynihan. ItŌĆÖs so much more fulfilling because youŌĆÖve been sucked into the creative process so much earlier. You get to choose your look, you get to choose the way your character dresses and the funny things that may adorn his face or not. YouŌĆÖre really much more invested than you are as a normal actor. ItŌĆÖs all fun to do, you know. Fortunately.
GREG: YouŌĆÖre a married man; do you have any relationship advice for the singles on our website?
HARRY: Relationship adviceŌĆ" That would amuse my wife, if she heard that question being posed to me ŌĆō there she is now! [phone ringing]. ŌĆ£Honey, donŌĆÖt tell them that!ŌĆØ Just when you think itŌĆÖs important to share your feelings about something is the moment when you should think twice about itŌĆ"

I know, I know. Its weird. But I do take photos of things that do not have a stick and ball in them.
This was an impromptu photo taken on a tram in Las Vegas at about 4 am when we were coming back from various casinos. The man in the back was pretty darn drunk but was able to hold his match long enough to get his face to glow. The guy in the front is my friend Dan.
Believe it or not, I did not use a strobe on this. It was purely all available light from the tram (hence the random colors) I had one but it killed the natural color so I decided to not use it.
The shot was taken at 1/30 of a second, aperture 2.8! and Iso 500 on my trusty Canon 30D (a great camera to carry around Las Vegas so you dont get your expensive ones stolen)
The reflection on the window of the guy was placed there in photoshop.

Jayhawks Leave Town With 5-4 Win Over Baseball
OMAHA, Neb. - Creighton threw everybody short of the trainers and bat boys at Kansas on Wednesday evening.
It wasn't enough to stop All-American Tony Thompson, however.
Thompson atoned for a seventh inning error by stroking a game-winning double in the ninth to lead Kansas (19-10-1) to a 5-4 victory over Creighton (14-9) at Rosenblatt Stadium.
Thompson and Jimmy Waters both had two RBI to pace Kansas, while Alex Staehely recorded a 2-for-4 evening for the Jays, who haven't beat KU since 2000.
The Jays used 22 different players in the game, but missed out on just as many opportunities, going 1-for-17 with runners in scoring position.
Creighton was re-energized in the seventh, tying the game with three runs courtesy of three Kansas errors.
Carson Vitale reached on a throwing error by Thompson to start the inning followed by another throwing error by shortstop Brandon Macias two batters later to cut the Kansas lead to 4-2.
Staehely followed Soto with the lone Bluejay hit with runners in scoring position, as he belted a triple to left. After an Adams 'K' for the second out, T.J. Roemmich's hard groundball was booted by first baseman Zac Elgie to plate the tying run.
That was as close as Creighton would come, as Robby Price started the ninth with a one-out double. A Brian Heere single put Price on third, and Thompson followed with his game-winner
Tanner Poppe (2-2) earned the win for KU, throwing 1.1 scoreless innings. Jack VanLeur gave up the KU run in the ninth to fall to 1-3, while Colton Murray picked up his second save of 2010.
The Jayhawks scored the first two runs of the game with single runs in the third and fourth. Thompson seared a two-out single in the third for the first Creighton run, and Jake Marasco came in on an Elgie double play in the fourth.
Creighton did not commit an error as several fine defensive plays kept the game close.
With the defense keeping the Jays in the ball game, Creighton pushed a run across in the fourth. A Clay Cuno groundout scored Scott Thornburg to make it a 2-1 Kansas lead.
Waters' two-out triple gave the Jayhawks some breathing room in the seventh. A walk to Heere and a hit batsman to Thompson set-up the three-bagger to the right-center gap to make it a 4-1 KU lead before Creighton came back to tie it.
Creighton will jump back into Valley play this weekend with a series against Illinois State. The Friday-Saturday-Sunday series is slated for 4 p.m., 2 p.m. and 1 p.m. starts at the CU Sports Complex.
NOTES: Creighton has now dropped four straight to the Jayhawks ... Austin Cole made his first career appearance in a Creighton uniform in the fourth inning ... Staehely's triple in the seventh was the first of his career ... Staehely extended his team-best hitting streak to 13 games; the longest by a CU freshman since Dave Schultz in 2003.

Cordless phones: How we test cordless phones
Which? puts cordless home phones through a battery of tough lab tests so you can buy with confidence and find the best one for you, whether you're looking for a phone with a built-in answerphone or one without, we cover everything. We'll help you avoid phones that sound crackly and distorted or which have such short ranges that they won't work in parts of your house.
We put every phone through the same tests - a mixture of hands on assessments from independent experts and technical lab testing - so we can answer the important, no-nonsense questions with confidence and give you a verdict you can trust. Read on to find out how we can answer key questions such as:
- How clear are calls to and from the phone?
- How easy is it to use the phone and read the screen?
- What's the phone's range like?
- And most importantly, should I buy it?
Take out a trial to Which? for just £1 and discover the benefits of Which? including all our expert cordless home phone reviews.
How clear are calls to and from the phone?
We make a series of calls from each phone while an expert panel checks the sound quality at both ends of the line. Our experts also rate the call clarity when using the speakerphone and assess the sound quality of incoming and outgoing messages left on the answering machine.
How easy is the phone to use?
We use ergonomic experts who assess how easy it is to set up the phone, add contacts to the phone book and make and receive calls. We rate the general handling, including the positioning of the buttons and the clarity of the display, and even check how easy it is to hold.
If the phone has a built-in answering machine we assess how difficult it is to record and replay your messages and note whether it's possible to remotely access the device.
To see our round-up of the highest-scoring cordless phones that also excel in our ease of use tests, check out our guide to easy-to-use cordless phones.
What's the phone's range like?
We check the range of each cordless phone by making yet more calls and then measuring the call quality on different floors within our laboratory and through steel and brick walls. We determine the point at which we start to experience interference and record when the signal is completely lost and the call terminated. We also note whether any of phones warn the user if the signal is getting too weak.
Should I buy it?
We give every home phone we test a Which? test score so you can see which are the best and worst, as well as exactly how each compares to other models. So what does it mean? Well, the phone score ignores price and is based on our detailed analysed results broken down into the following:
- Sound quality 40%
- Ease of use 30%
- Features 20%
- Signal coverage 10%
How we test cordless home phones
We buy and test around 50 phones a year including those with answer machines, multiple handsets and advanced features such as call blocking and SMS messaging.
Which? doesn't only tell you about the Best Buys that we recommend, we also tell you which models to avoid with our Don't Buy's. And, if we find a phone with a problem we deal with it. If a phone has an issue we feel is so bad it must be a fault then we will buy a new version and retest it. We'll also speak to the manufacturer to find out what it plans to do about the problem.
Testing updates
Due to improvements in our testing procedures to account for new features and developments, please note that scores of cordless phones tested after May 2013, are not exactly comparable with those tested before this date.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will have to pick a new running mate now that Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy has decided not to seek another term.
Duffy announced his decision in a letter to Cuomo that was first reported by the Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester. The 59-year-old former Rochester mayor cited the jobs travel demands and a desire to spend more time with family. Duffy wrote that hes proud of the administrations accomplishments, particularly its work to boost the upstate economy.
The announcement comes two weeks before Democrats hold their nominating convention on Long Island.
Cuomo is widely expected to tap a running mate from western New York or Long Island. Possibilities include Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, former Congresswoman Kathy Hochul (HOE-kuhl) of Buffalo and Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone.

Making ACI 306 a tool, rather than a rule. It covers the entire spectrum of applications for cold weather concreting.
It's a violation of the building code when concrete producers are not provided with test results, yet it happens regularly.

Attendees of World of Concrete get hands-on experience with pervious concrete.
The ACI Foundation's Strategic Development Council (SDC), a council of the ACI Foundation, is currently seeking nominations for its Jean-Claude Roumain Innovation in Concrete Award.

On Location with Rick Friedman
What happens when you take 16 working pro photographers, a ton of lighting gear, one location lighting expert, and stuff them all into the biggest barn you've ever seen? The place really lights up.
LPA recently sponsored and hosted a location lighting workshop for members of ASMP New England with Boston-based photographer Rick Friedman. Rick's got the energy dial set to maximum pretty much all the time which is definitely part of his success as both a photojournalist and photo educator. He's also got a bag full of PocketWizard radios which he puts to work in all his lighting work – both with speedlights as well as with studio lights.
Starting in the PocketWizard Studio, Rick reviewed his work with an emphasis on "how I did that," which encompassed the types of lights, gels, modifiers and gobos used to create interesting images of interesting people in interesting (and some less-than-interesting) places. Such is the life of an editorial photographer. With these preliminaries covered, we relocated to one of the more magnificent places in Vermont – Shelburne Farms, and more specifically, the Breeding Barn – one of the largest barns in the world. (Writer's comment: This was a purely selfish suggestion to use this location as I've been looking for a way to spend a couple days photographing it for a while, and now I would have some help to light the place up).
Marshall Webb, an avid photographer and descendent of the family who built the property, stopped by to give a brief history of the property and quickly became the subject of a paparazzi-style shooting frenzy. He willingly volunteered to come by later and model for a large scale portrait where we would also be lighting a good portion of the barn.
Much of the day was spent using speedlights with PocketWizard FlexTT5 and MiniTT1 radios in a variety of different lighting situations using Rick's and LPA's arsenal of lights, modifiers and gobo's. This was a great hands-on opportunity for those that did not have extensive experience using radio to trigger their lighting as well as a great way to experiment with new lighting tricks that you might not try on a paid assignment.
As the day slid into late afternoon, the group began focusing on the portrait session with Marshall. The plan was to position Marshall outside the barn at sunset and light both Marshall and the entire north end of the barn from the inside. Normally, a shot like this would require considerable planning and coordination. This shot would be done from start to finish in two hours with the gear on hand – a very mixed bag of lights and radios.
The group divided responsibility between lighting the inside of the barn and lighting Marshall on a hill a couple hundred feet away. Lighting included speedlights and studio lights (Dynalights, Elinchrom and Einstein's). Triggering was done primarily with PocketWizard radios with a couple lights being triggered optically due to a lack of connector cables for the Plus II's being used (yes, a little planning would have helped). In total, there were roughly a dozen lights being used.
Once Marshall arrived and the shooting began, it became a game of "pass-the-PocketWizard" so everyone could get their turn triggering the set-up. Marshall was incredibly patient as all sixteen participants and Rick set about to make their shot. (Writer's note: Fortunately I had set my own MiniTT1 to the same channel and boosted the lights to get some behind the scenes photos from the inside.)
Day Two concentrated on the use of bigger lights as well as mixing big lights with speedlights. The group broke into two and did a couple elaborate set-ups that used multiple lights. A breakaway group disappeared to try and overpower the sun with HyperSync using an Einstein E640 and the PowerMC2.
For a workshop finale, a group portrait was pulled together with everyone climbing onto some hay wagons with their speedlight to light themselves. This would be a simple task if everyone shot Canon or Nikon or everyone had a Plus II, but with a mix of gear it becomes a bit more complex. The PockWizard tech's on hand got everyone set to receive a standard trigger from the triggering MultiMAX and the shot was accomplished and out came the Long Trail beer to celebrate.
Rick's a great instructor with boundless energy and his assistant, Keiko Hiromi, is someone you would love to have helping out on a shoot. If you get a chance to attend one of their workshops, go.
Thanks to Natalie Stultz, Andy Duback, Raj Chawla and Carolyn Bates for their organizational efforts to make the workshop happen. Special thanks to Marshall Webb and Shelburne Farms for use of their barn for the workshop. Extra special thanks to Rick Friedman and Keiko Hiromi. Finally, thanks to ASMP New England for their support.

CANTON The St. Lawrence University mens hockey team is already facing a crossroads in its season.
Although the Saints will be hosting a nonconference opponent Vermont at 7 p.m. on Saturday this could prove to be a key juncture in their campaign.
St. Lawrence (7-7-2), which lost twice last week to rival Clarkson, will be looking to snap out of a three-game slide against the Catamounts (3-8-3) in its final game before its holiday break.
The biggest concern for me is weve gotten away from the way we need to play to be successful, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said. Obviously we need to get a win here with our holiday break coming up so we can go home feeling good about ourselves.
The Saints, who are one game away from the midway point of their season, have won only two games since the first weekend of November, faring 2-6-2.
We know we have to be better, senior defenseman and assistant captain George Hughes said. Every season has its high and low points, and this last game was obviously not a high. We still have a lot of games left, so we have to stay positive.
St. Lawrence is currently in an offensive drought having scored a single goal in each of its past three games.
We just realize that we cant just rely on (Greg) Carey and (Kyle) Flanagan to score highlight-reel goals for us, Carvel said. As a team weve got to score more ugly goals, we need to get pucks to the net and bodies to the net, like Gunnar Hughes goal on Saturday night. Were not playing with as much tempo as we were earlier in the year. Were not moving the puck as quickly, we need to get out of some bad habits.
Conversely, the Saints have allowed 16 goals over their past five games for an average of 3.2 goals a game.
Most of the goals we gave up to Clarkson were on odd-man rushes and often coming off turnovers, Carvel said. We play a system where there are layers that the opposing team has to get through in order to get the puck to the net and get scoring chances. ... They (Clarkson) scored some goals on breakaways when they were one-one-one with our goaltender and thats inexcusable.
Theres a lot of things weve identified, but instead of just saying were going to work harder, were working with the players on finding ways to fix this.
The Saints are clearly not performing up to the level at the start of the season when they won five of their first six games, including wins at Western Michigan and Maine, which propelled them into the national rankings. SLU had opened the season at 5-2-2.
Taking a look at our results, its obvious that were not playing like we were at the beginning of the year, Carvel said. So weve addressed this and the players are aware of our expectations and what made us successful at the start of the year and why were not playing as well of late.
To compound matters, St. Lawrence, which is 5-2-0 on Friday nights, is 2-6-0 on Saturdays, including five consecutive losses.
We have to climb back, George Hughes said. We know we can be a good team, and we have to find a way to get back to where we were at the beginning of the season.
This will be just the sixth home game of the season for the Saints, who are 2-2-1 at Appleton Arena.
Every game is physical and if you dont bring your best game, then youre not going to win a lot of hockey games, Carvel said. It doesnt matter who were playing, whether its BU or Vermont Im more concerned about our team and the way that we should play in order to be successful.
After returning from the holidays, St. Lawrence will host Rochester Institute of Technology on Jan. 4-5 to complete its nonconference schedule.
The Saints power-play and penalty-killing efficiency both rank 10th in the nation.
St. Lawrences penalty-killing stands at 88.2 percent, which includes 12 consecutive successful kills over its past three games.
While the Saints power play has cooled off, it is still clicking at a 21.5-percent success rate.
Before a 4-0 loss at Boston University on Nov. 24, the Saints had gone unbeaten in eight games (7-0-1) against Hockey East opponents.
This included two wins against Vermont, including a 2-1 decision in Burlington, Vt., last season.
Flanagan ranks second in the nation in points (25) and is tied for third in assists (16), while he is fourth in points per game (1.56), and is tied for third in assists per game (1.00).
Carey is tied for second nationally in goals scored (11) and is fifth in goals per game (0.69) and eighth in points per game (1.38).
Justin Baker ranks 13th in points per game among defensemen (0.81) and George Hughes is 18th (0.75).
Goalie Matt Weninger is second in minutes played (968 minutes, 51 seconds) among goalies nationally.

Sorry to sound like a dork, but I'm in the hub and there is no "add to my account" anywhere on the page. I usually use OmniWeb, but also tried Firefox. Earlier I tried clicking on the "+" button above the collections area and adding "US Holidays," but it just adds adds an empty collection, no way that I can see to connect to the subscription. Also tried to publish the collection from Chandler desktop, but that option is not available (presumably because it's already a public collection). OK, weird situation. This is what I just did: (1) Clicked on "+" button (2) Typed in "US Holidays" into the dialogue box (3)) Clicked "Save" (4) Clicked on the arrow to the right of "US Holidays" in the collections list (5) Click the "Invite" button (6) Click "View-only" link NOW the top of that sidebar says "US Holidays" and underneath it has a link that says "ADD TO MY ACCOUNT." Clicking on that link gives me a dialogue box that says, "Are you sure you want to add [US Holidays] to your account. If I click "Okay" I get another dialogue box that says "This collection already exists in your account. From here, I can't see any way to subscribe to anything IN THE HUB-- only in the desktop, iCal, etc. And there is no way to get back to the home page, either. And I can't figure out how to get to the "ADD TO MY ACCOUNT" link without going through the Invite button in an existing collection. I'm sure I'm overlooking the obvious and I apologize, but I really can't see how to do this. Alison
