Lawsonite is a mineral formed under water saturated high pressure/low temperature (HP/HT) metamorphic conditions (blueschist facies) typically formed in subduction zones. As lawsonite is not stable under "normal" pressure/temperature conditions at the depths it has formed, it is often metamorphosed to sericite, zoisite or other minerals before it is lifted back to the surface.
Lawsonite and pseudomorhps of Lawsonite has been found in most blueschist terrains around the world, including Ile de Groix, France, the Italian alps, Turkey and other places. It is nevertheless most of all a Californian mineral. It was here it was first described, and it is from here most lawsonite specimens has found their way into private and public collections. The recent finds from Syros challenges the Californian localities as the best in the world. Currently Lawsonite is listed at found at 101 localities, world wide (March 2013).
For those interested, I will recommend the articles, papers and books referenced in this article.

The well formed green lawsonite crystals in the striking blue glaucophane matrix appeared on the mineral market in 2011/2012. The originate from an undisclosed locality on the small island Syros in the Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey. Syros has been thoroughly studied by petrologists and geologists as it's suite of high pressure/low temperature rocks represents the crustal root of the Cycladic orogenic belt formed during a Mesozoic Eurasia-Africa subduction. Lawsonite and undeformed pseudomorphs of lawsonite can be found in a wide variety of rocks, including blueschiscts, marbles and graphite schists, predominantly in the northern part of the island. The occurrence of both unaltered and phengite/zoisite/chlorite pseudomorphs of lawsonite together with mineral assemblages of both blueschists and retrograde greenschist facies rocks has been used to investigate the pressure, temperature and fluid composition path during both the subduction and uplift of these rocks.
Lawsonite pseudomorphs stand in relief on the weathered surfaces of a number of blueschist outcrops on the island, in particular those belonging to the Kastri schists. They occur as white, seemingly euhedral, rectangular or diamond-shaped aggregates, 0.2 to 3.0 cm across. The pseudomorphs, some of which contain remnant lawsonite, consist mainly of a fine-grained mixture of zoisite and phengite with other minerals such as chlorite and/or albite. The blueschist matrix assemblage for the pseudomorphs is typically glaucophane + epidote + phengite ± garnet ± omphacite ± rutile ± titanite in rocks with the bulk composition of basalt.
Lawsonite occurs predominantly in the Kastri marble, which are intercalated with glaucophane schists. It is these glaucophane schist horizons whitin the Kastri marble that hosts the green lawsonite crystals, which are formed at methamorphic conditions at about 350-500 deg C and 8-17 kbar. Flickr photos of in-situ lawsonite crystals from Lawsonite Point (on the northern shores of Grammatta Bay) indicates that intact lawsonite crystals may reach sizes up to 3 cm.

Lawsonite was discovered and published by F.L Ransome in 1895 in material found " as an important rock-making constituent of a rather massive outcrop of crystalline schist, which is exposed near the periphery of an extensive sheet of serpentine, on the Tiburon Peninsula,at a point about half a mile in an easterly direction from Reed Station, on the line of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad" 1
According to Samuel Rice, the Lawsonite from the type locality occurred in a " rock that is acolorful schist composed largely of blue glaucophane, green pyroxene, red garnets, and white mica."
In places, white, tabular crystals of lawsonite have partially replaced the other minerals in the schist. However, it is from vein-like masses of green mica in the outcrop that Ransome collected the large pale blue lawsonite crystals that he described, and this is the environment of the best specimens. Individual lawsonite crystals observed at this locality range up to two inches in length.
Lawsonite occurs in a thin zone (10-15 meters) (the mélange zone) between the Fransiscan metasedimentary rocks at the rocks belonging to the Fransiscan complex and overlaying ultra-mafic rocks belonging to the Coast Range ophiolite, formed by local high pressure in the contact between the two formations.
Lawsonite crystals occurs in two distinct environments in this mélange zone, either in. high grade metamorphosed "exotic blocks" as for the type locality, or with albite in veins in Franiscan metasandstones. The latter type lawsinite crystals rarely exceeds 1 cm.

Lawsonite can be found at several localities in the Mendocino County, and the fine euhedral tabular crystals of pale pink color, up to 2 inches in length described in"Minerals of California" from a creek near Covelo may be the best. The pictured specimens are probably all from a more recent find from a undisclosed locality.
Lawsonite is a rock forming mineral in several fine grained meta-sedimentary rocks in the Coast Range of California in rocks belonging to the Franciscan Complex. The Franciscan Complex represents an accretionary complex (meaning off-shore sediments trusted and subducted underneath a continental shelf) formed by long-term (40-160MA) subduction of an oceanic plate under the Western margin of the North American craton.
The Fransciscan complex consist of three distinguishable belts: the eastern belt the central belt, and the coastal belt. The occurance of lawsonite is largely connected with blueschist facies metamorphosis, and two principle occurances of blueschist are recognized, both of them lawsonite-bearing. The most widespread are regionally metamorphosed greywackes in the eastern belt with minor interbedded chert and igneous rocks. These are of little interest for mineral collectors.
The other are the "exotic blocks"; blueschists derived from basalts, eclogite and amphibolites in the melange zone in the Central Belt, most often near the contact to the Coast Range ophiolite. It is the more coarse grained of these "exotic block" that may contain larger lawsonite crystals. It is usually distinctly crystalline and is found in three different habits, either equidimensional, tabular, or prismatic. The crystals are found either embedded in muscovite or chlorite, or growing into open cavities in veins. The tabular crystals are found only as porphyroblasts in lawsonite-chlorite schist. Crystals of the other types are found in both modes of occurrence. The crystals are generally striated and rough. In size they vary from 1 millimeter or less to a maximum of 5 centimeters.

Switzer refers to the "Porter Creek Pumpellyite Locality", which was the first locality where pumpellyite was described in California. The following text is quoted from Switzer:
"The locality is part of a large area of schist, a localized zone in which mineralization was unusually varied. The outcrop from which the specimens described were collected is on a serpentine contact.
There are several vein minerals, of which pumpellyite is clearly the first. It has formed in numerous veins, either concordant with, or transgressing
the planes of schistosity of the rock. Some of the veins have even, parallel walls and reach a maximum width of about 3 centimeters. Other pumpellyite veins pinch and swell and are not continuous for more than a few centimeters. They are frequently vuggy, but no good crystals were
found. The pumpellyite is fibrous and the fibers are roughly perpendicular to the vein walls.
The age of the lawsonite is clearly shown by veins of lawsonite cutting cleanly across pumpellyite veins. Composite veins of pumpellyite and lawsonite are also found, with lawsonite always in the interior and pumpellyite lining the vein walls. The lawsonite veins are in part parallel to, and in part cutting across the schistosity. The veins have sharp contacts and reach a maximum width of 1 centimeter. Good crystals were found in numerous cavities.
On one specimen a few small albite crystals were found encrusting lawsonite on the wall of a small cavity. Vugs in the pumpellyite and lawsonite veins are locally filled with calcite. "

You are getting really good tweaking the images. The introductory image should have the locality in its caption as well as the species and the size because the header does not say where it is from. Something I have been fooling around with to make the pictures look a little better, especially when there are more than three images you want to use to illustrate the mineral from a particular locality is the spacing between the images.
Notice how the vertical spacing between images is a bit different than the horizontal spacing next to images. The spacing between the images is somewhat larger than the spacing separating the images below. Instead of using 400 pixel sizing on images, I am now using 405 pixels width per image. This pushes the images a bit closer to each other on a line and makes that spacing a bit closer to the spacing of the images below. Its not a big deal, but I think it makes the image presentation look a little better. I when there are an odd number of images, usually there is often an orphan image below the others that I have until now put on the left. I have recently put such orphans as centered images, and I think it makes the picture layout look nicer. However there is no requirement that you adopt this protocol for the images, but you can experiment around with it and if you think the end result is better you can use it.
I have always thought Harjo's image arrangement was slicker than mine and this may narrow the gap in the way they look. The revision of the Best Minerals, Fluorite, USA uses this tweak.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Smile by raina telgemier Smile is about a girl who looses her 2 front teeth to a terrible fall. She has to make it through muddle school and high school with nicknames such as vampire girl. Her friends are not supportive at all. But she survives with her new best friends and where she can finally fit in. Sixth grader Raina trips, falls, and causes some serious damage to her teeth. What follows is Raina's bumpy road to recovery including braces, dental surgeries, braces again, and headgear, making her mission to fit in as a normal middle schooler all the more difficult. This autobiographical graphic novel follows Raina's story from sixth grade through high school as she struggles with her dental, boy, friend, family, and school drama. Telgemeier's pen drawings, colored by Yue are the perfect companion to the text, bright and bold illustrations that successfully reflect the range of emotions this book brings. Smile will especially connect with readers who have experienced sitting in the dentist or orthodontist's chair for a braces tightening or more extreme dental surgery. Telgemeier perfectly and humorously captures the anxiety sitting in that chair can bring and the discomfort that ensues afterwards. The ideal blend of a lighthearted and heartfelt tale and easily relatable for anyone who has ever felt embarrassed or self-conscious. Readers as young as twelve and those even beyond high school will enjoy this engaging, genuine story of Raina's self discovery journey. It is amazing that this whole book actually happend to the author in real life. I love the important details on her and her life ! This book, Smile, is about a girl named Raina. One day she had an accident that broke out her two permanent front teeth. She went to the dentist and they found one tooth but one tooth was missing. They took and xray and they found the tooth pushed up into her gums. It is based a real story about Raina's dental experiences and her self image. This book is easy to read and was interesting and enjoyable. I recommend it because it is a thrilling story, humorous and dramatic. Good story about growing up with a brace face in middle into high school. Life tales like this always seem to help with life. period. no reviews | add a review
No descriptions found. From sixth grade through tenth, Raina copes with a variety of dental problems that affect her appearance and how she feels about herself. (summary from another edition) |

The 3rd largest website and 2nd largest search engine in the world, namely Twitter and Yahoo have signed a contact sharing deal recently. This partnership has a wider range and the content sharing will place Twitter information on all Yahoo's properties. Last year Yahoo sealed a similar deal with Facebook. It seems as though Yahoo does not plan on building their own social network site. Google has similar deals with Facebook and Twitter however has Google Buzz which is similar to a social network application.
Twitter started locking users of their accounts and sent them emails asking them to change their passwords in order to regain access to the site. The reason for these emails is because they had concerns that their accounts may have been under threat in a phishing attack. Twitter says that a part of their ongoing security efforts includes resetting passwords of accounts which they think may have been compromised. Twitter says the number of users affected is very small. The question was asked if Nutshellmail had anything to do with this but Twitter denies this. Twitter promises to keep users updated and encourages users to read the help pages on what to do if their account is compromised.
At the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco Tim Cook, who is the operations officer at Apple announced that the iPad will be available in many retail stores including on Best Buy. He also said that the Cupertino Company considers itself a leader in mobile gadgets, which is true considering that laptops, iPhones and iPods are the main revenue boosters for Apple.
Three European countries claim that Google injects editorial oversight to stifle competition. According to The Telegraph, the European Commission has launched an investigation into Google. The UK price comparison site Foundem, and French legal directory says that Google demotes sites in search rankings as they are considered a threat to their advertisement revenue. On the Google blog, Google has posted that they will provide feedback and information regarding these complaints. They also go on to say that their business operates in the interests of their users, partners and the European competition law.
Curt Smith who is a musician for the hit group Tears for Fears found a unique way to find a collaborator for his solo project. His All is Love single is a collaboration with him and international cellist Zoe Keating. He then went home and started looking on YouTube and had previously heard of Zoe. He then posted a tweet on her Twitter status and asked if she would like to do a track with him. He then sent her the music and she started working on it with about 80 different parts! She then gave him the revised track at a Tears for Fears concert and this was the first time Curt and Zoe met.
Many resorts and vacation spots have turned to social media to broaden their advertising and reach even more customers. The following article takes a look at the various ways vacation spots are integrating social media into their marketing campaigns.
Online Dedication
Glen Murphy, who does the user interface for Google wrote about his Chrome OS based tablet ideas that Google has been playing around with. These ideas went live on Googles' Developer site just two days before Apple made the iPad announcement. These ideas are concepts and not actual products but it can be created and used in the future.
Net Applications released the browser market share figures earlier this week and what is interesting to note is that Chrome has been a fast climber. The various versions of Internet Explorer (IE6, IE7 and IE8) together have 62.1 percent market share which has decreased compared to 68.5% last year March. At the same time Chrome grew from 1.6% to 5.2%. Firefox and Safari also went up by a percentage to 24.4% and 4.5% respectively. If you take a look at the share of individual version of the various browsers you can see the shift of users moving away from Internet Explorer to other browsers. Most people hate IE6 and even Microsoft wants users to move away from this version.
Twitter users were asked to change their passwords due to a phishing attack but details of this problem were not released. Del Harvey, Twitter's director of Trust and Safety posted a Twitter Status blog explaining the details of the attack. Del says that torrent sites have been created over a number of years by someone who then sells them to others who want to get into the business. The individual who created these sites has however also created a backdoor into these sites to gain access once the site becomes popular. Most users use the same usernames and passwords all over the web and therefore some Twitter accounts were compromised. Harvey does not mention any of the torrent sites and says they probably wont be able to figure that out. He warns that if you are a torrent user you should change your Twitter password immediately.
Facebook recently showcased their new open sourced PHP technology called HipHop at the Facebook Technology Tasting conference. This new technology transforms PHP into C++ and this in turn saves CPU cycles on web servers. Senior Open Programs Manager, David Recordon explained to the audience some of the challenges they face at Facebook mostly because of the dynamic pages they need to generate. Facebook was experiencing problems wit PHP such as high CPU and memory costs and developers had a tough time building extensions.

For so long a man of the last 16, France's eternal up-and-comer Richard Gasquet is determined to prove a lone Wimbledon semifinal finish five and a half years ago is no flash in the pan after his first-up 7-5 6-2 6-1 win over Albert Montanes on Tuesday.
The ninth-seeded Frenchman ended last season with a full set of fourth-round finishes at the majors, where his run stopped. In fact, Gasquet has advanced to the quarters or beyond just once of 14 times.
Still, it is a record his first round journeyman opponent would envy. The 32-year-old Montanes ended the day with his seventh straight first round loss at the Slams, having failed to win a match since a career-best fourth round showing at Roland Garros in 2011.
Gasquet, 26, had won all four previous matches against the Spaniard, including a four set first round win at the US Open last year.
In his 11 prior Australian Open appearances, Montanes had only made it past the first round three times. He briefly bucked the trend when he broke Gasquet early in the match, a forehand down the line catching the tape and trickling over for 3-2.
But that was all the chance he got. With Montanes serving for the set, Gasquet fought back from 30-0 down to break with a finely struck crosscourt forehand winner before holding for 6-5.
Gasquet didn't let up from there, stopping only to regrip his unorthodox half-gripped racquet on the changeover. Gasquet closed the opening set 7-5 with a Montanes double fault donation.
From there the Frenchman's confidence soared. He took complete control of the match, dropping just three games in the next two sets to book a second round meeting with Colombian Alejandro Falla after one hour and 36 minutes.
It was the quick finish Gasquet needed after his four and a half hour wait for the brutal all-Australian match between James Duckworth and Ben Mitchell.
"It was very long. It was tough for me to wait ... but [the crowd was] very nice. It's always nice here."
Nice indeed. That's Gasquet five wins, Montanes zero.

Movies - Studios posts
Sunday June 13, 2010Open Letter to Patrick Goldstein
Dear Patrick:
Please stop writing about right-wing culture critics. Please. They're idiots. They think the product of Hollywood is liberal when it's blisteringly conservative. They study each film looking for some liberal thing that liberal Hollywood "snuck" into a film without asking themselves why liberal Hollywood would need to sneak some liberal thing into a film. You bend over backwards for these guys, you try to figure out where they're coming from, you think they can be appeased, but they can't be appeased. The first sentence of your post last Wednesday was about as laughable as any first sentence can be: "If we could wave a magic wand and do just one thing that would bring true happiness to the right-wing blogosphere, what would it be?" The answer? Nothing. There's nothing we can do. Right-wing culture critics are in a permanent state of dissatisfaction. That's their raison d'etre. That's their super power. They're like Mr. Furious from "Mystery Men." They have the power to get really, really angry... and that's it. Take away that power and they have nothing.
As for the space you're giving them? Please use it to cover the studios. Please. The day after your worthless post about the right-wing blogosphere, you wrote about Fox Studios and the way it handles its screenwriters—including 11 screenwriters for "The A-Team"—and that's exactly what the rest of us, who don't live in Los Angeles, and don't know from studio bosses, need.
We know a little about the studios. In one of the countless "Downfall" mashups last year, there was a line complaining about how Fox dumbs down its superhero movies, about how they'd give goddamn Wolverine webshooters and a bat cape if they could. So people know. Last year I wrote a post—"Dumb Like a Fox"—ranking each studios' super-saturated films over the last five years by their average box office. The studio with the lowest average box office? Fox. The studio with the fewest fresh films according to top critics at Rotten Tomatoes? Fox again. There's a correlation there that, for whatever reason, people keep missing. Particularly people at Fox.
So we know Fox sux; we just don't know why Fox sux. Your recent column helps. We even have a possible name to attach to all of these lousy films: Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman. Nikki Finke, in her column, absolves Rothman, but you imply that this is because he is her source, or someone close to him is her source. Either way, you make clear, his Finkeish absolution is a farce. You write:
As anyone who's ever worked at Fox can attest, the brilliant, hard-working and, well, often overbearing Rothman is at the center of every key decision -- and some not-so-key decisions -- made at the studio. When Brett Ratner was making "X-Men: The Last Stand" at the studio, he once complained that the studio couldn't even send out publicity material for the film until Rothman had approved the photo stills.
Then you write about the process at Fox:
At Fox, the real art form isn't the movie, but picking the right release date and creating the right poster and trailer. Fox is a packaging studio, where the most creative person isn't any of the screenwriters, but Tony Sella, the marketing wizard who has become something of a genius at crafting irresistible trailers, TV spots and poster art for less-than-irresistible movies.
So now we have a name and a process to back up the numbers. We're that much closer to accountability.
Please keep doing this. This is what you're good at. This is what makes your column worth reading. Find out for us what we can't find out. Let us know what we don't know. Right-wing culture critics? Not only can we find that out for ourselves, we already know what they're saying. And we know it's not worth knowing.
Your sometime reader,

Three things about The New York Times post-Oscars article
Three things about The New York Times post-Oscars article: "Academy Smiles with Both Faces."
Missing for many industry insiders was the organic sense of drama that came with past shows in which a popular film like "Titanic" or "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" built to a climax by picking up prize after prize — or when "The Aviator" built momentum through the minor awards in 2005, only to see the major Oscars slip away as "Crash" claimed the top prize. In those shows the awards actually were the entertainment.
This obviously confuses 2004 ("Aviator") with 2005 ("Crash"), or 2005 with 2006, depending on how you're scoring. It's since been corrected online but it went out in the print edition and it highlights what's wrong with the sentiment. There's rarely any kind of entertainment in the awards themselves. There may be surprises and shocks and disgust but not entertainment. What is this asking anyway? That the giving of awards be constructed as well as a play or movie? That's absurd.
By contrast, Sunday's entertainment value was in many ways grafted on in a process that could seem vaguely dishonest at times. If "Up in the Air" was so worthy of monologue attention, why was it snubbed in all six categories in which it was nominated?
This is similarly absurd. First, I don't remember too much attention being paid to "Up in the Air." And even if, so what? The show is the show and the awards are the awards. It would be nice if the twain met, but, ahem, that twain left the station a long time ago. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Spotlighting the incongruence, "The Hurt Locker," the big winner with six trophies including best picture, was also one of the least-watched films in its theatrical run to ever win the top prize. It sold about $14.7 million in tickets in North America and about $6.7 million overseas. On its opening weekend in two theaters in New York, its screenwriter, Mark Boal — now an Oscar winner — stood on street corners with his teenage nephew handing out free tickets to passersby with the idea that if they could stack the house, perhaps the theater owners would book it for another week.
The bigger story is less "The Hurt Locker"'s box office than the role Summit Entertainment played in not getting it out there. The evidence is right there in the above graf: They did such a poor job that the screenwriter and his nephew were forced to market for them! What was the Summit marketing team doing at the time—gearing up for the Sept. release of "Sorority Row"? "The Hurt Locker" is a movie that basically played in select cities. Its widest release was 535 theaters. Half of the best picture nominees were released into more than 3,000 theaters. "Up in the Air" got more than 2,000 theaters, "Precious" more than 1,000. Even "An Education" managed 700+. Only "A Serious Man," among the nominees, had a more limited release than the eventual best picture of the year. Someone besides me needs to start trashing Summit for this.

The Ghost Release
After my bitching last Sunday about Summit Entertainment's release schedule for Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer," they've expanded it wide! ...
...to 147 theaters. That's still 1/16th the number of theaters Summit gave to "Sex Drive" (which made $8 million total), or 1/18th the number of theaters Summit gave to "Sorority Row" (which made $11 million total). So: wide like Calista Flockhart.
Last Sunday I wrote:
Quality film, in other words, isn't just treated as its own genre. It's treated as a genre 50 times less important than the others.
It's actually worse than that. "The Ghost Writer" is a genre film. It's a thriller, and feels like a thriller, and is perfectly accessible as a thriller. Normally such a film would open in over 2,000 theaters. If it included cheap thrills and young bodies and blood. Moviegoers still might not go see it, as they didn't go see "Sex Drive" or "Sorority Row," but at least the movie would fit within the parameters that allow studios to open movies in 2,000+ theaters.
Unfortunately, Polanski made a good movie. So if you're in a part of the country that isn't showing "The Ghost Writer," this is why Summit isn't letting you to see it. Because Polanski made a good movie.
"The Ghost Writer": Summit Entertainment's Latest Delicate Flower
Last Friday I went to the opening-night showing of Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer" at the Egyptian Theater about a mile from my home. It's a fun movie, smart and adult, and so of course it's only playing in 42 other theaters around the country. Not even one per state.
Will it go wider? It's being distributed by Summit Entertainment L.L.C. (as opposed to L.P. (R.I.P.)), the minor studio responsible for both the "Twilight" movies and "The Hurt Locker." Last November Summit opened the "Twilight" sequel in over 4,000 theaters and who knows how many screens. Last July it opened "The Hurt Locker" in four theaters and probably that many screens. During its entire, six-month run, "Locker" wound up making $12 million domestically, which the "Twilight" sequel most likely made by the first showing of the first day.
This isn't an argument against "Twilight." I'm not arguing against making money. I'm arguing against losing money.
Here's the history of Summit since it became an L.L.C. in 2006. Sorted by U.S. gross:

* Rotten Tomatoes rating from top critics only
Look at those theater totals at places 9 through 14—compared with "The Hurt Locker" at no. 8 and with "The Ghost Writer," which just opened. I've been railing against this kind of thing for years. A.O. Scott railed better last August when he critiqued the general direction of movies:
Middle-aged actors and critically lauded directors look like extravagances rather than sound investments. Forty is the new dead. Auteur is French for unemployed. "The Hurt Locker" — the kind of fierce and fiery action movie that might have been a blockbuster once upon a time — is treated like a delicate, exotic flower, released into art houses and sold on its prestige rather than on its visceral power.
"The Hurt Locker" was Summit's delicate flower last summer, and, because they released it delicately, they made money from it delicately. Now they're treating "The Ghost Writer" the same way.
Again, the problem isn't that "The Ghost Writer" is released into 1/100th the number of theaters of "Twilight." It's that it's released into 1/50th the number of theaters of "Push" or "Never Back Down" or "Sorority Row" or "Sex Drive": Crap that nobody wants, nobody goes to, and which lose money. But at least these movies are given the chance to lose money. "The Hurt Locker" and "The Ghost Writer" aren't even given that chance.
Quality film, in other words, isn't just treated as its own genre. It's treated as a genre 50 times less important than the others.When the others lose money.
It's a greater mystery than the one the ghost writer solves.

Dumb like a Fox
Last week, John Lesher, the president of the Paramount Film Group, was fired and replaced by Adam Goodman, former head of production at Dreamworks SKG. Nikki Finke's blog listed a number of offenses against Lesher, including drunkenness, while the L.A. Times said his biggest offense in his 18 months on the job wasn't greenlighting enough pictures.
Maybe the two are related. I have no idea—I'm way the hell up in Seattle, and I don't read much on internal studio dynamics—but the following, at least, demonstrates a problem Paramount has had for the last five years. It's a table on how the big six studios (plus DreamWorks) fared with their superwide (3,000+ theater) releases from 2004 to 2008, ranked by average box office:

If you're a regular reader you know I'm someone who believes that, with similar movies, good generally beats bad. People are more likely to go see a good popcorn movie over a bad one, and an exciting arthouse movie over a dull one. To paraphrase a famous movie line: "If you build it well, they will come."
Paramount, according to this chart, builds them better than most, but, on average, fewer people show up.
The bigger question the table raises, though, is this: What's up with Fox? They have the lowest percentage of fresh films and the lowest average box office per film as well. If you're wondering what Fox's 39 superwide releases over the last five years look like, here you go. As sorted by top-critics-ranking on Rotten Tomatoes:

It's not pretty. I liked, well enough, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith," "The Simpsons Movie" and "Marley and Me," but there's no standout film here, and most of their menu smells like the glop of McDonald's. In fact, they're the only major studio over the last five years not to release a film superwide that garnered a 90% or better rating from the top critics in the country. DreamWorks ("Wallace and Gromit") Paramount ("Iron Man") and Universal ("The Bourne Ultimatum") each did it once; Sony did it twice ("Casino Royale"; "Spider-Man 2"); Warner Bros. three times ("The Dark Knight"; "The Departed"; "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"); and Buena Vista, with a big helping hand from Pixar, did it four times ("Ratatouille"; "WALL-E"; "The Incredibles" and "Enchanted"). Fox? Nothing. Not even close. As you can see.
Equally astonishing is the kinds of movies Fox decides to dump into 3,000+ theaters. "The Seeker"? "Meet Dave"? "Elektra"? The preeminent popular genre of the decade is the superhero film and what has Fox done with it? They've taken one franchise that started brilliantly (Bryan Singer's "X-Men") and run it into the ground, while taking one of the more famous superhero teams ever created ("The Fantastic Four") and never got it off the ground. You could argue that Fox's most successful superhero over the past five years isn't Wolverine or Mr. Fantastic; it's Spider-Pig.
In the 1930s studios had personalities. Warner Bros. was gritty gangster stuff, MGM went after glamour and sophistication, etc. Studios are corporate-run now—smaller entities within larger multinational conglomerates—so we no longer ascribe a personality to their output. Lucky for Fox.

United Artists
Two interesting and contrasting articles on movie studios in today's New York Times. First, Dave Kehr's piece on the history of United Artists: starting out as the baby of Fairbanks, Griffith, Chaplin and Pickford in 1919, being salvaged by producers Arthur Krim and Robert Benjamin in the 1950s, and then reaching its artistic heyday in the 1960s and '70s, backing and distributing such films as Midnight Cowboy, Last Tango in Paris, Manhattan and Raging Bull. In the '90s, in Kehr's apt term, UA became a financial football, "kicked around by various bankers, promoters and avaricious studios." Now it's owned by Sony and MGM (who can keep track?) and headed by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner. Fingers crossed. In the meantime, Film Forum in Manhattan is running a five-week tribute starting Friday night. Another reason to live in New York.
The second article is about a potential split between acrimonious partners DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures. What's depressing isn't the split, nor the title subject ("Who keeps the movies?"), but the hints the article lays out about movies-in-the-planning. Transformers 2 is inevitable. But in the lead graf they mention "a comedy about a couple who have to live Valentine's Day over and over again until they finally get it right."
It's kind of like studio heads who have to produce the same idea over and over again until they get it so wrong it doesn't make any money. And then they abandon it for the next thing. United artists, indeed.

God's Ear
Plays about parents with dead babies are usually just the worst, primarily because they're of a stripe of theater you're not allowed to dislike, lest you be perceived as favoring the death of children. In addition to featuring a central couple with a dead kid, Jenny Schwartz's beat-poetry verse play God's Ear takes place in an imagined homogenized suburbia, where playwrights have spilled plenty of ink trying to convince us the soil is poisoned but where the characters are too whiny for us to care. Despite these considerable odds against our giving a damn, Schwartz's quietly shimmering 2008 drama, delivered here by Dog & Pony, Chicago's premier storefront producer of contemporary American theater, is the surest evidence in recent memory that the scene with the most adjectival strikes against it—off-Loop, non-Equity, Generation Y—is as equipped as any to create engaging adult entertainment.
Schwartz cannily observes that humans speak only in clichés and pop metaphors; in this 90-minute daisy chain of lyrical soliloquies and ping-pong dialogue, her characters speak only in riffing bromides. The deceptively emotionless leads—a sexless, attractive couple played by monotonal, makeup-free Hurley and handsome, hapless Hatton—embody the overall atmosphere. At first, they're both so deadpan you can hardly take them seriously; by the time Schwartz's endless mourning bebop act is done, their surface layers of vacuity have boiled off from their internal warmth. The ensemble is resoundingly fine (D'Ercoli as a chatterbox would-be mistress excels), while the simple design contributions of Grant Sabin's white-plinth-and-curtains set, Stephen Ptacek's carefully integrated sound, the color drenching of Aaron Weissman's lights and original music for Schwartz's lyrics from Baby Teeth's Abraham Levitan—sounds ranging from honky-tonk saloon piano to titillating glam rock—make this tart, oddball experience echo long after it's over.

How To Get To Taj
My husband loves taj. So do I, I just worry it sounds incomplete, especially with that soft j sound at the end. I'd really like him to have a longer name to go by if he wants to when he get older. This is a tough one! Any ideas?

Hmm I'm afraid that's too girly for my taste
May 24th, 2013 12:05 AM #7
My children were in school with a Taj. It never seemed girly to me since he was all boy!
If you feel you need to have a more formal name, how about something like Tarin Joseph. Instead of TJ you could use Taj as a nickname. I have heard the name Tajdar before. I think it is Sanskrit but it may be a girl's name.

U.S. Policy re. Somali Pirates
On April 30, Captain Richard Phillips, the heroic skipper of the pirated Maersk Alabama, told U.S. senators that "hardening" commercial shipping vessels, arming senior crew members of commercial ships, and employing armed military or private security details should be among the top policy options considered to combat the increasing wave of piracy in the troubled Horn of Africa region, and elsewhere on the high seas.
CFR Pushes Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST)
"Senate Should Move Quickly to Join Convention on Law of the Sea," says the heading of a May 4 press release from the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). As noted here in April, it was to be expected that the usual lobbyists for world government would exploit the recent increase in Somali pirate activity to push for Senate ratification of the UN Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST). And, as we pointed out here and here in February, the campaign to provide the United Nations with vast new legislative, judicial, and executive powers — including the power to tax all earthlings, Americans not excepted — is being led by the CFR, which has been in the forefront of this and other "global governance" power grabs.
Obama: Hero or Villain in Pirate Rescue Saga?
President Barack Obama scored major political points for the successful rescue of Captain Richard Phillips from his Somali pirate captors. Media headlines hailed his "decisive leadership" in his baptism under fire. However, scuttlebutt from the Navy community claims that the rescue succeeded in spite of Obama's indecisiveness and interference, not because of his leadership. A harsh critique of the standoff by an anonymous Navy veteran that is circulating widely claims that Team Obama attempted to micromanage the situation, overruling the on-scene commander (OSC) and imposing ridiculous Rules Of Engagement (ROE) that repeatedly prevented the Navy SEAL shooters from taking out the pirates.
Piracy Solution: Letters of Marque and Reprisal
Is there another alternative to paying tribute to Somali pirates, other than sending a huge naval expedition force to route the pirates out of their lairs? Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) believes the Constitution's long-neglected "marque and reprisal" provision may offer a viable option. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states: "The Congress shall have power … To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas,… To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water."
The G20 Push to "Supersize" the IMF
The big push to "supersize" and transform the International Monetary Fund (IMF) into a global Federal Reserve System has been developing in elite political and economic circles for months. The campaign is now intensifying in the final weeks leading up to the London Group of Twenty (G20) Summit in April. Op-eds in major newspapers, speeches by leading politicians, and papers and roundtables by globalist think tanks are all pushing the same ideas, to wit:
A Bad Investment: US Funding, Training PLO Terrorists
Tuly Wultz and his 16-year-old son Daniel were enjoying a Passover holiday dinner at a Tel Aviv restaurant when the suicide bomber struck. Nine diners were killed in the grisly attack that day in April 2006 and dozens more were wounded, including the Wultzes, Americans from Florida who were visiting Israel on vacation. Daniel, who was the more severely injured of the two, lost his spleen, a kidney, and a leg in the blast. Despite the heroic efforts of doctors, he died a month later in an Israeli hospital. Because Daniel Wultz was an American, the terror attack that claimed his life received more attention in the U.S. media than the "typical" suicide bombings that have become all too familiar in Israel, Iraq, Pakistan, and many other parts of the world.
Obama Bows to EU Demands on Stimulus
Caving in to pressure from the European Union, President Barack Obama signaled this week that he wanted "Buy American" provisions struck from the so-called economic stimulus package now going through Congress. The $819 billion plan, which passed on the House of Representatives on January 28, requires the use of U.S.-made iron and steel in public works projects. This set off a "quiet fury" among politicians in the European Union, who have denounced the provisions as "protectionism," even though they are proceeding with protectionist measures of their own on products ranging from auto parts to dairy products.
Kissinger, Putin, and the "New World Order"
Rahm Emanuel, President-elect Barack Obama's chief of staff, has declared that "you don't ever want a crisis to go to waste." As reported here yesterday, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has been busy lately promoting the idea that Obama should move quickly once in the White House to turn various economic and political crises into opportunities to create a "new world order." (The words are Kissinger's.)
Obama Adviser Brzezinski's Off-the-record Speech to British Elites
Zbigniew Brzezinski, a senior adviser to President-elect Barack Obama on matters of national security and foreign policy, was the featured speaker at Chatham House in London on November 17, 2008. The title of his lecture was "Major Foreign Policy Challenges for the Next US President." Although Chatham House events are known to attract "the great and the good" of England's political, financial, and academic elites — as well as many of its top media representatives — there has been virtually no word as to what Brzezinski had to say in any of the world's press.
Angelina Jolie Backs International Court
On October 17, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) hosted a "Symposium on International Law and Justice" featuring actress Angelina Jolie, a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and co-chair, with her husband, actor Brad Pitt, of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation. According to the CFR website, the symposium "was made possible through the generous support of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation."

A Langley business is looking for princesses.
As You Wish Princess has a contest for the Langley Community Day Parade. Owner Alyssa Nielsen will choose eight princesses to walk with her in the parade June 16. The contest is open to five and six-year-olds who must write a story telling about a recent act of kindness or love toward the planet.
"This should be quite an adorable site as the 9 of us bring joy and color to the parade all dressed up in our princess outfits," she said
The five- and six-year-old girls need to submit a brief story (with the help of Mom or Dad) retelling a recent act of kindness or love toward our planet to qualify.
"After the parade I will be presenting each little princess with a lovely gift and will be entertaining children and families in the park for the remainder of the event," Nielsen added.
