Here we go again. A couple refinery disruptions, a pipeline shutdown, and before you know it gas prices in California have jumped more than 50 cents compared to the rest of the country. Soon politicians will be wringing their hands and calling for investigations. Some will blame it on evil oil companies, while others while say it's due to our insistence on using a different gasoline than other states.
Those calling for investigations will suggest that the refiners are using the problems at a couple refineries as an excuse to raise prices. It's important to remember that this is a commodity market, so the only way a seller can drive up price is by withholding some supply from the market. That's what we know happened during the California electricity crisis. Something similar, though much less extreme, could be happening today in gasoline. BUT it is much more difficult to diagnose such behavior in the extremely complex refinery business — where multiple processes are used to produce a variety of different outputs – than in the relatively simple electricity generation business — where natural gas goes in and electricity comes out. In fact, proving such occasional acts of "exercising market power" (as economists call it) from market data is pretty much hopeless in refining. Furthermore, even if we could tell when a gasoline refiner was doing it, as long as they acted alone — not colluding with rivals — it would not be illegal.
On the other hand (just as with the California electricity crisis), the observers who say they are certain this is just the supply and demand workings of a competitive market are making a statement of faith, not analysis. The fact is that production of California specification gasoline ("CARB gasoline") is very concentrated, with Chevron serving more than 20% of the market and a couple other companies with shares in the high teens. Given the very-low elasticity of demand for gasoline, in the short run, it could very well be profitable for a company to produce a bit less CARB gas in order to drive up prices. It's not a crazy notion; it's just extremely difficult to prove and, even then, not a violation of any law. Jim Bushnell, Matt Lewis and I examined these issues in a 2004 working paper. The numbers have changed a bit since then, but the basic analysis is the same.
Other commentators will argue that the problem is for California's use of its own boutique gas blend, which is not used anywhere else, rather than the federal standard for reformulation. They point out, correctly, that our inability to trade gas with neighboring states mean that there is less buffer when supply is disrupted in California. The problem with this view is that a recent paper by Max Auffhammer and Ryan Kellogg has shown that California blend gasoline has significantly greater health benefits than gasoline that only meets the federal standard, benefits that almost certainly exceed the extra costs we pay.
So what can Californians do to protect themselves from these sudden gasoline price shocks? One answer is to just buck up and deal with it. These California-specific spikes don't happen that often and they usually don't last too long. That might be my view if I were confident that the spikes weren't caused or exacerbated by market power. But the potential that these jumps are not entirely due to real supply/demand imbalances means that a policy to short circuit the spikes at some point could be beneficial.
Steve Stoft and I proposed a solution in a 1999 San Francisco Chronicle op-ed. I think it applies just as well today. California could pass an automatic waiver policy that allows any company to bring in gasoline that only meets federal standards if it pays a surcharge of, say, 25 cents per gallon. The surcharge would be substantially larger than the normal production cost differential, which is generally thought to be 10-15 cents. So, in normal times, no firm would want to exercise this option. But when a supply disruption occurred, and California wholesale prices shot up more than 25 cents above our neighbors, some refiners or marketers would bring in non-CARB gas, and pay the surcharge. The effect would be to cap the price differential at about 25 cents per gallon. It would also short-circuit the incentive of an in-state producer to withhold supply if the impact would just be to trigger imports of non-CARB gas.
What would this do to air quality? Practically nothing. Just as a small shortage drives our prices through the roof, a small quantity of non-CARB gas would drive our prices back down. Even during spikes, the non-CARB gas would be no more than a few percent of the state supply. But these spikes are rare, and usually brief, so the overall impact on health would be miniscule. Still, when it did happen the revenue from the waiver fees could be used to offset the increased pollution. A good place to start would be to buy back more of the old polluters on the road, those pre-1976 cars that in California (for some reason I still can't fathom) are exempt from emissions checks. That would make the policy a win-win.

Friday was upon me before I really had a chance to realize how little work I'd done during the week. I was anxious, awake late into the night with a racing heart awake too early in the morning when my daughter would make her presence known, and, if she had a toy within reach, felt.
A new dresser purchased at Ikea lay on the bedroom floor, awaiting assemblage. It's for the baby's clothes, and Erin's clothes, since for the moment (if "moment" can mean "two years") Erin's clothes are in our dresser. There are six drawers in our dresser, and we each have two of them. I'd like three. Emily would like three. Without a new dresser Emily and I would be down to one each. So, a new dresser purchased at Ikea lay on the bedroom floor, awaiting assemblage.
Emily has been on maternity leave for a week or so, taking advantage of the pre-baby time to see some movies, get some pedicures, have some lunches with friends, and in no way advise anyone about trademarks. She's also preparing for the baby, nesting (in that weird "I'm going to bake at 2am" way that she has developed).
But on Friday afternoon, when her contractions started with regularity if not severity, we were still unprepared. Her suitcase wasn't packed, the birth plan wasn't printed, the champagne and glasses weren't in a bag, nor was the iGroove dock. I had no playlist of relaxing ocean sounds ready, nor a "welcome to the world, son" playlist. Cameras were strewn about the apartment. Infant car seat bases remained uninstalled in our cars. Friday afternoon, for an hour before we had to leave to go to Erin's swimming class, we packed and prepped furiously. And we did it all, and we got it all into the car, and drove to swimming and called Emily's mom and told her to get on a plane, and after swimming we had dinner with our friends (with whom we had shared a party a couple of weeks ago, since their daughter is Erin's best friend and one day older) and told them to be ready for a late night phone call. They had volunteered to watch Erin while we were in the hospital, which is why we love them.
After dinner the contractions grew more regular, and I picked up Emily's mother at the airport and I made calls to my mother, father, and sister letting them know that the kid looked like he was making an appearance. I drove Erin over to our friends' house and put her down for the night, then stopped at Target to buy a plunger.
This may take some explaining. "Shawn, you idiot, your wife is in labour and you are stopping at Target to buy a plunger? Are you, perhaps, less smart than a monkey? An armadillo? A golden retriever eating his own shit?"
Late on Friday afternoon, while Emily and I were packing furiously, Erin was busy (a) using one of her plastic blocks to drink water out of the toilet bowl, which was a fantastic parenting moment for us and (2) flushing that block down the toilet.
If you know anything about plastic blocks you probably know this: they don't dissolve in water.
So, knowing we'd have company over the weekend, or at the very least that we'd have to use the toilet once or twice before going to the hospital, I determined to get the block out. Because my nesting takes the particular form of needing to fix things.
The plunger was ineffective. It lacked the penis part and was instead just a plunging vagina, so there was nothing to insert into the opening at the bottom of the toilet and so I couldn't create a seal and then suck the water back out of the flushed toilet by drawing the plunger back up. All I could do was push things further in. Vaginas are good for pushing, not sucking.
So, what do I do at 11pm on a Friday night while my wife is in labour, my mother-in-law waits in the living room, and my daughter sleeps over at a friend's house? My wife says "How about a coat hanger? Can you unbend a coat hanger and then use it to catch the block?"
Apparently what I can do is unbend a coat hanger and get it stuck in the toilet. Now what?
I took the damned toilet apart, flipped it upside down, and pushed the blocked into the bowl from the other end of the pipe. I was very manly and strong and there were tools and sweat and probably urine involved. Then I grabbed some needle-nosed pliers to twist the wire hanger out of the toilet, and emerged from the bathroom completely victorious (although covered in what I think wasn't urine, but I can't tell for sure so you probably shouldn't hug me).
Despite all of my efforts, my dedicated nesting and the packing and driving around and picking people up and dropping them off and going to Target…my son refused to show up. Emily's contractions got a bit worse, then she fell asleep. She woke up, they got a bit worse, then she fell asleep. They never reached a "damn damn damn damn damn ooh eeh ooh eeh" stage.
But on Saturday morning she hadn't felt the baby move in a little while, and had been in labour for 15 hours, so we went to the hospital just to check things out.
Our uncooperative son was there, fine, and the contractions were 5 minutes apart, but only going halfway up the little graph thingy on the printout. The nurse said "Could be today, could be next week." Thanks, nurse.
We picked Erin up after her fun-but-unnecessary sleep over, then met grandma for lunch. Emily's contractions persisted, but we said "Screw It" and sent grandma home with Erin while we went to see Star Trek.
Star Trek was great. It was a great Star Trek movie and a really good action film. It's also heavy on the fatherhood angle, and I appreciated that.
What Emily didn't want was to be in the hospital on Mother's Day. "Oh, how great! You're here on Mother's Day and you have a new baby! That's so great!" The thought of enduring person after person saying something stupid like that to her was enough, I think, to convince my son not to poke his head out for a look the rest of the weekend.
On Sunday we waited, and the contractions seemed to be gone. We spent the day coddling Erin and eating frozen yoghurt and (me) watching the Wings-Ducks game before taking Emily's mother back to the airport in the evening.
Overnight, Emily's contractions grew stronger, strong enough to keep her awake most of the night, and then she fell asleep. They were consistently strong most of the morning, but in the afternoon they settled down again.
So we went for massages.
And now here I sit watching hockey and making a roast as we wait another evening for this kid to show up.

Just like in a cafe, we talk about everything. Nothing heavy. Just talk over a cup of coffee.
Tuesday, August 28, 2012
Tony Scott, director of such Hollywood hits as "Top Gun," "Days of Thunder" and "Beverly Hills Cop II," died Sunday after jumping from a towering suspension bridge spanning Los Angeles harbor and leaving behind several notes to loved ones, authorities said.
The 68-year-old Scott's death was being investigated as a suicide, Los Angeles County Coroner's Lt. Joe Bale said.
"I can confirm that Tony Scott has passed away. The family asks that their privacy is respected at this time," Scott's spokesman, Simon Halls, said in a statement.
An autopsy is scheduled for Monday, coroner's Chief of Operations Craig Harvey said. He said investigators located several notes to loved ones that Scott left in his car and at another location, but that they were not described in initial reports as suicide notes.
He said Scott parked his car at the crest of the bridge, which is 185 feet above water, before leaping to his death.
Several people called 911 around 12:35 p.m. to report that someone had jumped from the Vincent Thomas Bridge spanning San Pedro and Terminal Island in Los Angeles Harbor, according to police Lt. Tim Nordquist.
A dive team with Los Angeles Port Police pulled the body from the murky water several hours later, Nordquist said. Scott's body was taken to a dock in Wilmington and turned over to the county coroner's office.
One lane of the eastbound side of the bridge was closed to traffic during the investigation. Cargo vessels moved at reduced speeds through the east side of the port's main channel during the search, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.
The British-born Scott, who lived in Beverly Hills, was producer and director Ridley Scott's younger brother. Distinct visual styles mark both siblings' films - Ridley Scott mastering the creation of entire worlds with such films as "Gladiator," "Blade Runner," "Alien" and this year's "Prometheus," Tony Scott known for hyper-kinetic action and editing on such films as his most recent, the runaway train thriller "Unstoppable," starring regular collaborator Denzel Washington.
Scott was a thrill-seeker himself in his personal life, an avid rock climber who also liked driving fast cars and motorcycles. Still, filmmaking was his real thrill.
"The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life," Scott said in an interview for his 1995 naval adventure "Crimson Tide." "The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through."
Tony was the first of the Scott brothers to enjoy blockbuster success with "Top Gun," starring Tom Cruise, the top-grossing film of 1986 at $176 million. Scott teamed with Cruise again four years later on the hit "Days of Thunder." He also had a sequel to "Top Gun" in development.
But Ridley Scott later managed more and bigger hits than his brother and earned a level of critical respect never achieved by Tony Scott. "Gladiator" won the best-picture Academy Award for 2000 and earned Ridley Scott one of his three best-director nominations; Tony Scott never was in the running for an Oscar, and critics often slammed his movies for emphasizing style over substance.
Even Scott admitted that it was a challenge to infuse drama into some of his scenarios - for example, cars racing in circles in "Days of Thunder." In an interview for that 1990 summer hit, Scott was blunt about where some of the ideas came from.
"I went back and I stole from all race movies to date," Scott said. "I took the better elements, then tried to build on them. Really, the speed, the energy and the placement of the audience inside some of the cars came in the editing room ...
"I'm always pushing for something new and fresh in the way things are shot, and the rest happens in the editing room ... The real speed comes from the cutters and what they do with the celluloid."
While Ridley Scott had an auspicious start to his film career with 1977's acclaimed period drama "The Duellists" and 1979's "Alien," Tony Scott bombed with his debut, 1983's supernatural romance "The Hunger," with David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve.
He vaulted into Hollywood's top ranks the next time out, with "Top Gun," followed a year later by "Beverly Hills Cop II," both with producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
The two brothers ran Scott Free Productions and were working jointly on a film called "Killing Lincoln," based on the best seller by Bill O'Reilly. Along with countless commercials, their company produced the CBS dramas "NUMB3RS" and "The Good Wife" as well as a 2011 documentary about the Battle of Gettysburg for the History Channel.
Tony Scott said he gained perspective by mixing things up between film, TV and commercials. "I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently," Scott said in a 2007 interview.
Besides "Unstoppable," Scott worked with Washington on four other movies: "Crimson Tide," "Man on Fire," "Deja Vu" and "The Taking of Pelham 123."
In a tweet Sunday, director Ron Howard said, "No more Tony Scott movies. Tragic day."
Director Jon Favreau tweeted, "Such sad news about Tony Scott. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends."
Other Scott films include "True Romance," written by Quentin Tarantino, "The Fan," with Robert De Niro, and "Enemy of the State," starring Will Smith.
Scott was married to actress Donna Scott, who appeared in several of her husband's films. They have twin sons.
Completed in 1963, the 6,060-foot Vincent Thomas Bridge links rises 185 feet at its highest point above the Los Angeles Harbor. Many have taken their lives by jumping from the span.
The bridge has been used in many Hollywood productions, among them "Charlie's Angels," "Gone in 60 Seconds" and "The Fast and the Furious."
Harvey said the bridge has not been used frequently by suicide jumpers in recent years.

In 2019, four puzzle enthusiasts had an idea. After discovering what was a shared frustration in their inability to find a puzzle they could not wait to tackle, these four women started tossing around the idea of creating their own puzzles. These women, who also happen to be related, not only love to puzzle, but they love a challenge — especially competing against each other. The idea evolved while on a family vacation, where of course a puzzle was in tow, and the initial framework of what was soon to become — Puzzledly was developed. They each envisioned vibrant, artful puzzles of the highest quality. They imagined reaching for the untapped puzzle potential that was just not available in the market at that time. They pictured other families sharing a similar bonding experience when building together, complete with colorful stories and belly laughs.
Over the span of 6 months, they searched high and low for the perfect images, eye-catching shades, and stylish designs for their jigsaw puzzles. When their first shipment arrived they could not wait to break their first set of 5 puzzles open. 3 puzzlers set to work in North Carolina while the fourth eagerly awaited for hers to be shipped to New Jersey. They each set right to work. Texts were sent, calls were made, and photos of their progress were sent. None were disappointed. The puzzles were perfect! They were stunning, creative and fun! They were challenging, yet achievable creations that fed their competitive nature and stimulated their minds.
These four puzzle enthusiasts had an idea …. and Puzzledly was born. Ready to join them?

"TOUR GUIDE" to the September Clues research
THE SEPTEMBER CLUES website: http://www.septemberclues.org
The full / original version of September Clues on Youtube): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF0-nslm3j0 (NOW REMOVED FOR "hate speech" - after having reached almost 1 million views!)
September Clues Tour Guide - at Fakeologist.com (includes all SC research videos) : https://wp.me/P3PI2w-sN
by Simon Shack - (updated on May 12, 2013)
Hello and welcome to the Cluesforum. We believe that Media Fakery is the most urgent issue to tackle in order to restore a bit of sanity on this planet. Media Fakery is the weapon of mass distraction used by a pesky network of nutty power brokers (I like to call it "The Nutwork") to fool the world to their advantage. It has worked out nicely for them for centuries, for such is the essence of human nature that, when squarely duped, a man's ego will prefer to ignore the fact rather than dealing with it. The Nutwork and their subservient media conglomerates have long been well aware of this inherent weakness of mankind; their news-hoaxing tricks are routinely employed to generate incalculable profits and public consensus for waging murderous, barbaric wars of aggression. But their insane obsession for mass mind-control is now turning against them. Their wretched deception ploys are now exploding in their faces - one by one.
- It is fair to say the September Clues research has established these 4 main points:
1- The 9/11 imagery was nothing but a Hollywood-style film production, complete with actors in the role of 'eye-witnesses' or 'firefighters', staged 'running crowds', 3D-compositing and special cinematic effects. The '9/11 movie' was split into a number of short clips and sold to the TV audience as 'newscasts'. The few clips featuring 'airplanes' (or dull silhouettes thereof) were computer-generated images - all of which in stark conflict with each other, as now comprehensively demonstrated in every imaginable manner, angle and method.
2- No commercial airliners were hijacked or - much less - crashed into the WTC towers, the Pentagon or the Shanksville field. No valid/verifiable records exist for : their airport logs/schedules, their numbered parts, their alleged passengers. Their reported speeds at near sea-level as well as the absurd visuals of their total, effortless disappearance into the WTC façades defy the laws of mechanics and physics - and the absence of visible wake vortexes in the WTC impact imagery also defies the laws of aerodynamics.
3- The World Trade Center Complex (9 buildings in all) were demolished with powerful explosives. No image-analyses of the tower collapses can help determine just what type of explosives were employed - since the videos are 3D animations and do not represent the real-life events. In reality, as they collapsed, the WTC complex was most likely enveloped by military-grade smoke obscurants. No real/private imagery exists of the morning's events - 'thanks' to electromagnetic countermeasures.
4- No "3000" people were trapped in the top floors/nor perished in the WTC towers. Only one thing was more important to the perps than avoiding a mass murder of (thousands of) American citizens : to sell the notion that "bogeyman Bin Laden" killed (thousands of) American citizens. We have renamed the 'victims' of these psy-operations "VICSIMS" (SIMulated VICtims). In fact, our research has seen the same pattern emerge in all the so-called "Al-Quaeda Terror Attacks" around the world (LONDON 7/7, MADRID 11, BALI, MUMBAI, etc...). In all logic, the very last aggravation the plotters behind these false-flag operations wish to have, are scores of real families hounding them forever with real questions and real class actions. Hence: NO real terror victims = Logical PsyOp rationale.
The master plan of 9/11 was to demolish the redundant, asbestos-filled WTC complex in Lower Manhattan - 9 buildings in all. The area would naturally be evacuated (as for all such demolitions) in order to prevent a slaughterhouse of dreadful proportions - not a good idea at all. To be sure, this was no mass murder scheme - just a formidable opportunity for massive financial gains and military propaganda. The military (and its various intelligence affiliates) would manage the ground logistics, such as securing the area, raising smokescreens to hide the proceedings from public view, and last but not least, electromagnetic countermeasures to keep any private cameras from filming the mayhem. The WTC complex was thus 'safely' destroyed in bright daylight. It was a magician's trick, pulled off by sleight of hand to fool the few (the NY onlookers) - and with computer graphics to fool the world (the TV viewers).
The rest was (and still is to this day) a gigantic simulation staged and upheld by the complicit news media propaganda machine. The major news corporations are headed by a handful of moguls who are, contrary to popular belief, wholly subservient to the executive powers of USA, Great Britain, Europe and indeed, most of the world's governments. This unfortunate, yet widespread public belief (that the media checks and 'polices' our politicians) is being currently exploited to its full potential for the profit of a restrict so-called 'elite'. In his time, George Orwell would have called their structure "the Network". I suggest to call what we have today "the Nutwork" - since their inconsiderate behavior betray tell-tale signs of rampant megalomania and an alarming absence of mental balance.

This said, let me spell out what this forum is about. We are a bunch of nice and open-minded people, but if you are to contribute to our ongoing research, make sure you have something valuable to offer. At this time, we are looking for human quality - not numbers - for although we do believe there is intelligent life on this planet - it is an elusive, rare resource which needs to expand without undue distractions. At this advanced stage of our research, we will not tolerate mere cheerleaders, time-wasters or chit-chatters. As for professional government agents typing from their little cubicles, we strongly advise you to leave us alone; get a life - and a honest job. Your masters are busted - and you know it. Stop wasting your lives supporting their insane war games.
The September Clues research started around 2006 with my (initially timid) scrutiny of the proposed 9/11 TV imagery. Since I released my SC documentary on the internet in 2007 - and its revised /upgraded version in 2008, the research has made tremendous headway - much of it thanks to sharp Cluesforum contributors from around the world. Let's keep it up.
I trust our combined efforts will ultimately turn out to be a formidable 'awakening tool' to restore law, freedom and reason on Earth. In any case, don't let yourself get bogged down by the Nutwork's apparent hegemony: they're just a bunch of old farts. A nauseating stench of deception permeates from every major news outlet - it's high time for a "New World Odor" !
Feel free to diffuse this "TOUR GUIDE" as far and wide as possible over the internet !

Ann Hornaday (c) 2013, The Washington Post
If you've been sentient enough to sit upright and take light nourishment over the past few months, then surely you've seen Will Ferrell channeling his alter ego, the puffed-up, blow-dried anchorman Ron Burgundy, as he flogs new cars or sneaks onto local television stations to deliver the nightly news, not to mention a recent stop at the Newseum. It's been one of the most massive, ingeniously synergistic movie-promotion campaigns in recent memory, all the more startling considering that synergy itself is one of the satirical targets of the movie being so relentlessly ballyhooed.
"Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," the sequel to the 2004 comedy that introduced the fatuous, substance-free news reader, possesses all of the boneheaded gags and inspired lunacy of the original, as well as swaths of dull, frankly unfunny material. But buried inside this grab bag of hits and misses is a pretty good point about the descent of television news into a miasma of 24/7 speculation, fluff and, most of all, hype. Ferrell's unrelenting charm offensive, it turns out, has been a post-modern meta thingie all along.
As "Anchorman 2" opens, Ron and his now-wife Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) are living and working in 1980s New York, the Maury Povich and Connie Chung of their day. But when Veronica gets a coveted gig anchoring the national news, Ron goes into an alcoholic tailspin, only to be rescued by a producer with a brand-new news channel, GNN, which intends to broadcast the news 24 hours a day, without a break.
It's such a crazy idea it just might work, and when Ron assembles his old team — Champ Kind (David Koechner), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) and Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) — they show every sign of being as bumbling and arrogantly vapid as they were back in San Diego. They get the graveyard shift at GNN, where Ron decides to woo his audience with stories about patriots, cute little animals, diets, weather disasters and "why blondes have more fun."
Considering the improvisatory talents — even genius — of Ferrell and his co-stars, it's no surprise that laughs abound in "Anchorman 2": Right off the bat, during Burgundy's voice warmups before a newscast, just the simple phrases "bat mitzvah" and "foot rub" achieve heights of improbable hilarity. As expected, most of the humor in the film — which was written by Ferrell and the director, Adam McKay — skews toward the stupid, silly and slapstick, the latter of which is on full display when Burgundy's posse crashes the RV taking them to New York, a slow-mo gag involving cruise control, some ill-advised cargo and Baxter the dog.
At nearly two hours, "Anchorman 2" indulges in its share of ill-advised digressions. A sub-plot involving the dim Brick — played by Carell barking random, gnomic nonsequiturs — and a GNN secretary named Chani (Kristen Wiig) takes up more time and space than it warrants, and Burgundy's obsession with the race of his African American boss (Meagan Good), culminating in a deeply offensive dinner with her family, falls horribly flat, exemplifying the preoccupations and prejudices that it pretends to ridicule.
For every witty, predictively topical punch line — BP sponsoring the dolphin show Burgundy emcees at his nadir — there's a groaner, whether it's a crude joke about Florence Henderson or Fantana speaking fondly of his pals back in Los Angeles: O.J. Simpson, Phil Spector and Robert Blake. "We call ourselves the Ladykillers," he grins slyly.
One of the delights of "Anchorman 2" is its willingness to go a little crazy, at one point sending Burgundy on a sojourn to a lighthouse with unexpected results, and culminating in an all-news throwdown that plays like an orgy of in-jokes and escalatingly funny cameos. It wouldn't be a Ron Burgundy movie without that set piece, as nonsensical an instant classic as his also de rigeur jazz flute solo (on ice, no less).
But when Ferrell is taking on cable news and corporate ownership, the humor is pointed, biting and utterly on point. One of the biggest laugh lines in the movie is when a character played by Fred Willard predicts that, rather than take the low road, the new 24-hour news programs will "only deliver the news worth reporting." Hilarious, right? But it bears noting that, when Burgundy settles on the tag line that will ultimately replace "Stay classy, San Diego," it's delivered with an utterly straight face, by the character and the actor alike. And they're both right.
"Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" — Two and a half stars. Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, drug use, profanity and comic violence. 116 minutes.
Ratings Guide: Four stars masterpiece, three stars very good, two stars OK, one star poor, no stars waste of time.

I mistakenly posted last weeks post about "books" on this week. Now it's in both places. I hope no one has to read it twice. Especially since it's a re-post of one from 2010. Some of you may have to read it for the third time. Is there a way to erase your name from Mr. Linky?

As you quite rightly assumed Alan, us postcard collectors do of course have various actors and actresses in their collections. Here are a couple of my more recent additions.

Is it just me, or does Postcardy's link just bring us back here? I had to go through an older Sepia Saturday link to see her wonderful contribution to the cause.

Great theme this week Alan. I was stymied till I found this postcard. I'm "horsing around" this week with my post.

Alan- would you please remove my first link--it is incorrect.

For such a great theme, I have two contributions to offer this weekend.
My first photo is a PERFECT fit even though the post pre-dates my introduction to Sepia Saturday.
The second is a set of photos around the time of Mr. Rains' photo. - 17 February 2012 at 18:50
- Little Nell said...
My problem was which way to leap with this, but I settled on a bit of good old nostalgia and romance. You couldn't really call Claude Rains a heartthrob in the matinee idol sense - but these two are :) BTW I wrote this on my ipad flying home from UK at 6.30 a.m - it has to be the earliest time in the morning that I've written a SS post.
I have to say I agree with Postcardy about the new word verifications - very off-putting. - 17 February 2012 at 20:40

Another great theme! I started my post intending to just post a picture and ended up on another research project. Don't know why I have to do that to myself but I can't seem to help myself. Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with this week!

No I'd never seen him early on his career either, wonderfully urbane in Casablanca.
The posting comments question, I remember that there was some problem doing this on blogger if the comments page appears below the post, if it opens in another window then it is OK.
I shall now attempt to interpret the Rosetta stone script in the word verification, I can see this is going to take a few attempts:-) - 18 February 2012 at 01:08

While I've got photos of vaudeville stars, I have no movie stars, so how about a photo taken in an early movie theater? It's a bit of a stretch, I know. :-)

I didn't think I'd have anything to offer this week but managed to do it at the last minute.
PS Am I alone in hating the new Re-Captcha images? It takes me at least two attempts to get past them. - 18 February 2012 at 14:25
barely made it here to check in! Hello! and thanks for using my theme ideas!

This one was a real challenge, but I managed to connect to the theme by the thinnest of threads, and I'm happy with the results.
Now, then, let me focus on Blogger's new version of word verification and see if I can crack the code. (If world powers knew about this, they'd no doubt use it instead of waterboarding.) - 18 February 2012 at 15:24

Hi Alan, I searched on Facebook for the group but didn't find it. I thought i had joined up a couple weeks ago, I suppose I should go back and find that earlier link!

I'm in at the last minute. Off to do a Sunday Stamps post - I'm a busy blogger.

There was so much to say about this theme, and so many ways to illustrate it! My challenge was to narrow it down. Took me awhile, but I'm here.
- 18 February 2012 at 22:08
- Who Were They? said...
I have tried to comment on so many of these great posts but there is a definite problem between Wordpress & Blogger - just wanted to tell everyone that if I didn't comment on your posts this is why! If there is a "name/url" feature I can comment but not with open ID. Sigh, no one seems to know how to fix it on the WP side.
Anyway, great posts everyone! - 20 February 2012 at 20:59

A gnat infestation in Stollings can be a major problem for some people. They tend to swarm during the summer months when people are trying to enjoy the space outside their homes. They can get in your eyes, mouth, and food, which makes you want to kill gnats. But there are ways of stopping them from bothering you without harming yourself or your surroundings.
If you want to kill gnats, your not alone. Keep reading and you'll learn how to kill gnats.
Dealing With a Gnat Infestation
Look for possible breeding areas or a cause of the gnat infestation in West Virginia. These troublesome creatures thrive in the same settings as mosquitoes. Remove stagnant water and decomposed plants to deny the gnat infestation of their favorite hideaways. Even if you are living near a lake or swamp, you can control the population of gnats around your residence.
Remove stagnant water in fountains, tire swings, and anywhere that water might accumulate in your 25651 yard. You should also maintain the cleanliness of your gutters, since it's also an ideal breeding ground for a gnat infestation.
You can use a gnat spray that contains citronella when you are going to an area that's overrun by gnats. Make sure that your gnat repellent is safe for children since some products contain ingredients that may be harmful. To secure a certain area outside of your home, spread a non-harmful gnat spray repellent everywhere, 12 hours before using that area. Gnat spray that is made from cedar is very effective.
The best way to kill gnats in Stollings, is by calling a pests exterminator that is equipped to handle a real gnat infestation.
A fine fiberglass screen will also allow you to keep a gnat infestation from entering your home. By doing this, you can ensure that you will not be bothered by the gnat infestation anymore. You'll find that it works even if you're trying to kill gnats outdoors.
Fungus Gnats in West Virginia
A common misconception of hydroponic gardening is that you never have to worry about a gnat infestation, or have to deal with pests and bugs. Many growers wish this was true. The fact of the matter is, that even in a soil-less garden you have to deal with some of the same kinds of insects that can damage traditional Stollings gardens.
Fortunately, with a little knowledge and quick action, you can easily prevent or minimize the damage caused by bugs to your plants and hydroponics supplies in 25651.
Here are two of the more common West Virginia pests found on house plants.
Fungus Gnats –
The fungus gnat, also known as the sciarid fly, is a tiny black fly. The adult gnats don't cause any damage to your plants directly, but can carry spores of fungi that can harm them. The real damage of the fungus gnat is in the larvae, which will feed on anything organic for a period of two weeks. The fungus gnat can be controlled with just about any general purpose insecticide. For gnat larvae, it may be necessary to drench your medium in insecticide. When doing this it is a good idea to only start with one small section to see how it will affect your plants.
Spider Mites –
Spider Mite – Spider mites are very small, usually about 1/20th of an inch in length, so you may need a magnifying glass to identify them properly. They have eight legs, an oval shaped body, and two red dots on their backs. They can cause damage to your plants by sucking the contents of your leaves. There are several biological options for controlling spider mites. Their natural enemies include the western predatory mite, the six spotted thrips, and the spider mite destroyer lady beetle.
If using hydroponic supplies such as an insecticidal soap to kill spider mites, or as gnat killer, make sure not to use any on water stressed plants, as this may cause further damage. You do, however, need to make sure to cover the affected areas thoroughly because spider mites, unlike gnats in house, need direct contact with the insecticide to die.
Gnats in House
Many people in Stollings, West Virginia, have gnats in house. The problem occurs during certain times of the year. This pest can be really annoying because there is no warning of their arrival. One day you don't have them, then suddenly your kitchen area is overrun with a gnat infestation. There are things that you can do that will help you deal with the gnat infestation inside your home.
The first things that you can do are preventative. These are things that should be done on a regular basis in Stollings to prevent a gnat infestation, as well as other pest problems in this West Virginia town. One thing you can do to avoid a gnat infestation, is to not leave out fruit that could be fed upon by the gnats in house. When the fruit, like a banana, starts to get older, the gnats can feed on it. If they have a food source, they will reproduce and become more of a problem.
Secondly, seal up your garbage as soon as possible with a gnat infestation. There is organic matter inside that the gnat infestation can feed on. It's best to get it out of your house so that indoor pests won't have extra food. There are some traps that you can make that will help with gnats. The first is to simply put vinegar out in a bowl. The vinegar will attract gnats to it and some of them will get stuck in it helping control their numbers.
With all your traps, it's best to check on them and refill them at least once a day to quickly eliminate a gnat infestation in Stollings, WV.

"Bamboozling Obama" inks on paper / 2012 |
How can a political group take an affront on Green Energy Policies which create sustainability and put America at the forefront of an alternative energy revolution? Because they make obscene profits from the last century's energy sources which have created Global Warming and Polluted our drinking water.
How can one side of the isle deny the GLBT community basic civil rights? Because the majority of their voters are polarized by religious-based dogma.
How can Republicans not want Americans to have access to Health Care which ensures their financial stability in a time of medical crisis? Because they have invested interests in insurance and medical practices which base your level of care on your credit score.
What does the far right have to say about a man who wants to make these things happen and advance our society by creating a better, healthier, more stable life for the Middle Class? A Socialist, a Muslim, a Communist, an Antichrist, a Marxist and a Nazi.
In our brave new world, many weapons are being used to wage war 24 hours a day / 7 days a week against the President. The Right endlessly attempts to niggardize Obama through indoctrination. In the court of law, a reasonable doubt can set a man free. In the court of public opinion, a reasonable doubt can bury a man. For one voter, it's the monkey cartoon indulging his bias. For another voter, it's FOX News keeping them company at night with balanced coverage of political issues (such as questioning the American President's citizenship.) For another, it's the pulpit on Sunday morning where words like terrorist and brimstone are used in the same sentences. It takes a village of many hands to paint the President's Blackface. We live in a society where Fear is power and those powers are at play.
In 2008, America showed the world is was progressive enough to select its first black President. The entire planet embraced Barack Obama and still support him. In a recent survey, every foreign country polled (except Pakistan) favored Obama to his running mate if they were allowed to vote. Here at home, rhetoric has cast an ever-bending shadow of doubt. Rhetoric has revived racism and brought the bigotry of yesteryear full circle. Republican officials have thrown bipartisanship out of the window, kept unemployment rates high, denied military veterans benefits, fought tooth and nail to oppose healthcare reform and yelled "class warfare" at any mention of rolling back tax rates on the rich to the Clinton-era levels which balanced our national budget. ALL of this has been done as a ruse to create the mirage of a failed Presidency for Obama. Real math undeniably shows despite all odds, the country is healing and headed toward recovery.

The Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Authority of the Special Administrative Region of Oe-Cusse Ambeno (SAROA) and Special Zones for Social Market Economy (ZEESM) Timor-Leste (SAROA-ZEESM TL), formalising a collaboration under which SIAC will provide dispute resolution services for SAROA-ZEESM TL in relation to contracts between SAROA-ZEESM TL and private sector firms, investors and service providers.
Dr Mari Alkatiri, President of the Authority of SAROA-ZEESM TL, stated that the MOU aimed to strengthen investor confidence, adding that "Access to high quality dispute resolution services is a prime concern for investors and contractors. By partnering with SIAC, we have ensured that anyone investing in Oe-Cusse can be assured of dispute resolution services of the highest standards. This is an innovative step we have taken and sends a clear message to the private sector: Oe-Cusse offers an enabling, world class business environment."
Ms Lim Seok Hui, CEO of SIAC and the Singapore International Mediation Centre (SIMC), commented that "Arbitration and the innovative Arb-Med-Arb process offer international investors and businesses from different legal systems and cultures, the benefits of certainty coupled with flexibility within an institutionalised framework that is user-friendly, practical and saves parties time and costs. Over the past 25 years, SIAC has worked closely with parties from all over the world, including governments and private sector firms, to develop and promote international arbitration as an efficient and cost-effective means to resolve their cross-border commercial disputes. By providing quality, efficient and neutral dispute resolution mechanisms, we aim to contribute to Oe-Cusse's economic development."

Outside the Law
Rachid Bouchareb
Outside the Law is a controversial revisiting of Algeria's struggle for independence. Bouchareb skilfully weaves his intricate and complex narrative through the eyes of three brothers who become separated after losing their family home in Algeria, following their disparate paths towards reunion in a shantytown on the edge of the French capital.
Featuring true-to-form performances from Jamel Debbouze, Roschdy Zem and Sami Bouajila, this is a powerful, strong and violent film. Disappointingly, it's not particularly redemptive, or balanced. Much like the FLN it depicts, Outside the Law is not about purgatory violence, and strangely omits any reference to Franz Fanon, a key member of the group.
What Bouchareb has created, much like in Days of Glory and London River, is a historically epic tale, but with minimal character study, and thinly sketched female characters, this comes at a price. Outside the Law is gripping, but ultimately fails to paint a clear picture of both history and the characters who narrate it.

Despite his busy schedule, hours just before his return flight, he took a half-an-hour train ride to Shibuya just to see whether he could find these. It was a fruitful trip for him, as not only did he managed to find them, he also got to taste his favourite Hokkaido Ramen at Shibuya.
Naturally, I couldn't wait but to try out these cutters once I found some free time. I adapted a recipe from this blogger, as she used the same type of cutters. To my surprise, the cutters were rather difficult to use. It was only after several attempts before I could cut out the shapes neatly...the dough kept sticking to the mold...the piece which is used to "stamp" the outline of Pooh...everytime I released it, the dough broke into pieces :'(
After "practising" for a few times, I finally got the hang of it...the trick is not to press the mold too hard into the dough. I also find the dough very soft and sticky. Even though I have floured the cutters and my table top, tt was quite tricky to lift up the cut-out shape from my table top without spoiling it. This only became easier after I "sandwiched" and rolled the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper. This prevented the dough from sticking onto the work surface and the rolling pin as well. After much hard work, the result was a tray of smiling Poohs and Piglets!
A closer look at Pooh...
and here's Piglet!
These cookies were buttery...and a little crunchy, could be the extra cornflour which I have added. It was a joy just looking at how my boys happily munching away the cookies over their afternoon teabreaks...and the cookies were all gone within 2 days!
I shall try the other Mickey and Minnie set the next time round :)
(makes about 36 pieces)
100g butter, softened at room temperature
80g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
180g cake flour
20g corn flour
- Sift cake flour and corn flour together and set aside. Line baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
- With an electric mixer, add in sugar to the butter in 2 ~3 additions and cream till the mixture turns pale and fluffy.
- Add in egg yolk and mix well.
- Add sifted flour mixture in 2 ~ 3 additions, stir with a spatula to form a soft dough.
- Place dough in a plastic bag and flatten with rolling pin.
- Refrigerate the dough for about half an hour.
- Remove dough from fridge. Roll out dough on slightly floured work surface and cut out with slightly floured cookie cutters. If the dough appears to be a little to hard and breaks into pieces while rolling, leave it at room temperature for a few minutes. The dough will soften up and can be rolled easily.
- Bake at pre-heated oven at 175 degC for 15 ~ 20mins.
- Let cool and store in air-tight container.

Robert Rauschenberg
James Lawrence
Robert Rauschenberg is one of the most influential post-war American artists, and this chronology offers a record of the artist's oeuvre spanning nearly 60 years. Known for blurring the boundaries between sculpture, painting, printmaking and photography, Rauschenberg was a key innovator who welcomed found materials, and even re-introduced new elements to his works decades after completion.
This mammoth text provides an extensive chronicle of the artist's entire career. Exploring early work, well-known and rarely seen masterpieces, this book pays homage to Rauschenberg. As an artist who explored the relationship between the viewer, the artwork, and the artist, his work commented on the events of their time; today they are modern time capsules.
With such a prolific career, the publisher has done this artist justice, moving from White Painting (1951) to Watchdog (2007) there are a number of works from each decade that are reproduced gatefold. This is a collection that you want to spend time with, finishing with a Rauschenberg timeline; as readers and fans, we come to understand the life and work of this great artist much better – essential reading.
