By Stephanie Springer - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) –You may notice more farmers out in the fields.
That's because its planting time for many crops.
Many farmers are starting to plant peanuts, cotton and other major row crops.
Last year, farmers got a lot of work done ahead of schedule because of a dry winter.
But this year it's just the opposite and some farmers got behind on getting their land ready for planting.
"Right now is pretty much ideal for me because it is dry enough we can go anywhere we want to go, like to see a little rain but if we don't get the raid we are going to start watering just to be able to plant," said Frank Brooks, local farmer.
Brooks says you will see farmers planting through the end of May.

Film Review
Perfect Sense
Seems this sexy, sci-fi drama forgot something
First, humankind loses its sense of smell. The disease comes like a tidal wave, sweeping across the globe but without any known point of origin. Perhaps it's a pathogen that's caused this pandemic anosmia, released by terrorists or by a Darwinian mutation. Perhaps it's a sign of some cosmic expiration date. Whatever the strange phenomenon, the people it's disabling can't figure it out, and all the unaffected can do is wait their turns.

As a non-evangelical Christian (I am a Lutheran of lower-case catholic sensibilities), I share the evangelical majority's pro-Israel sympathies, though not, for the most part, their reasons for that sympathy. But that reservation does not diminish my bottom-line agreement with Robert W. Nicholson's admirable essay. Evangelical Protestants are, all in all, good for the Jews, and Jews committed to Israel should have no problem recognizing the overriding reality that evangelicals, as undoubted friends of Israel, are friends of theirs.
As a Lutheran, I endorse the two-kingdoms understanding of Christian social responsibility. In that view, God rules over all of existence, but does so under different rubrics. The right-hand kingdom of the gospel and salvation is governed by love, while the left-hand kingdom of law and creation is governed by justice. Given the reality of a fallen world indelibly marked, short of the end times, by the stain of original sin, it is neither necessary nor possible, in Lutheran terms, to rule the realm of politics by the gospel. The norms of social justice—available not merely to Christians but to all people of good will—do not rest on theological grounds and do not require theological justification.
In the present instance, one need not depend on biblical prophecy or covenantal theology to find reasons to support the state of Israel. Israel has the only truly democratic political culture in the Middle East. It is a friend of the West in politics and political economy, and, more important, a consistent and unswerving ally of the United States. It is a regional bulwark against the radical Islamists who are its and America's sworn enemies. The more I see of the populist Arab spring, the stronger is my commitment to Israel. I support Israel not because I am a Christian—though nothing in my Christian beliefs would preclude that support—but because that support coincides with the requirements of justice and the defense of the American national interest.
All that said, I concede that mine is probably an unrepresentative perspective. (Lutherans are regrettably not the hegemonic force in American life I might wish them to be.) The empirical reality is that America's is a pervasively religious (and predominantly Christian) culture, and large majorities of its people report that they derive their morality, including their political morality, from their religious beliefs. It is not for nothing that G. K. Chesterton described America as a nation with the soul of a church. For better and for worse, biblical narrative and providential expectations play an outsize role in Protestant—certainly conservative Protestant—understandings of the political order.
Nor, finally, am I myself immune to those influences. The substance of my support for the state of Israel may be free of theological taint, but I suspect that its instinctive and intense nature, its imperative psychological force, finds its roots in my pious childhood immersion in the tales of Abraham and his descendants, in the eternal mystery of God's election of the Jewish people.
As for Nicholson's concerns about growing anti-Zionist sentiment among evangelicals, especially young ones, I am guardedly optimistic that it will remain a minority phenomenon. Liberal evangelicalism is nothing new, of course: Jim Wallis and the Sojourner community have been around for a long time. Natural human contrariness aside, the sustaining source of liberal evangelicalism is the sentimentality, regardless of context, to which all liberalism, secular or religious, is inherently prone. (Sentimentality is the abiding temptation of the Left even as callousness is the abiding temptation of the Right.)
Nicholson notes various reasons for liberal evangelical antipathy to Israel, but, in my estimation, Israel's unforgivable sin for those on the Left is that it is no longer the obvious geopolitical underdog it was at its founding. Since its defeat of mortal enemies in 1967 and 1973, Israel has gradually been transformed in the perception of many from David into Goliath. Liberals, even many pro-Israel liberals, can afford the luxury of indulging anti-Zionist tropes of racism and imperialism because they (quite shortsightedly) do not regard Israel as under existential threat. They prefer not to notice that Israel is surrounded by people who have not reconciled themselves—who will not reconcile themselves—to the existence of the Jewish state. The safer one imagines Israel to be, the easier it is to focus on the grievances of its enemies. (It is because of the Right's relative immunity to sentimental illusions that Israel will, even in overwhelmingly pro-Israel America, find its most dependable support among conservatives, not liberals.)
The threat to Israel is real, but the threat of anti-Zionism among evangelicals, at least those located outside the Middle East, is marginal. Liberal evangelicalism is not oxymoronic, but it is, I think, self-limiting. Mainstream Protestantism drifted into liberalism and secularism when, without considering the consequences and without erecting effective safeguards, it made way for the corroding influence of modern biblical criticism and finally gave up its transcendent faith for a merely social gospel. But an orthodox biblical worldview anchored in salvation history is so intrinsic to evangelical identity, and so fundamentally antithetical to the higher criticism, that it is hard to see any plausible way in which it could disappear among those who would bother to claim the evangelical label. That orthodox biblical worldview will continue to insist, as Nicholson notes, that God blesses those who bless the children of Abraham.
That blessing ought to work both ways. Jewish Americans, whatever their discomfort with Christian theological perspectives, should learn to say a gracious yes to evangelical overtures of friendship and support. So what if evangelicals hope for their eventual, wholly voluntary conversion? Evangelicals propose not a common understanding of the Almighty's eternal purposes but a strategic alliance for the defense of Israel. In terms of politics, the great majority of evangelicals ask only for a seat at the table, not for a Christian takeover of the social order. It may seem odd of God to choose such allies, but it seems to me self-evident that Jewish supporters of Israel should ungrudgingly take their friends where they find them.

Abiding Above - May 14, 2013
Life's Pressures
May 14, 2013
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." - Matthew 11: 28, 30
J. Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission, understood pressures said this, "It doesn't matter really, how great the pressure is. It only matters where the pressure lies. See that it never comes between you and the Lord, then the greater the pressure, the more it presses you to His breast."
Let the pressure drive you to the source of supernatural strength, the Person of Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you.
Let your stress press you to Christ. He will never put on you more than you can bear, for He stands with you to shoulder every load. Once you come to Christ and release your burden to Him, there is nothing between you and Him but sweet peace. Remember the fruit of His Spirit, one of which is peace. His peace in you as you abide in His Spirit. His is light and easy and will not pull you down, but lift you up in time of need.

This cake was delicious. I made it for my family for Christmas and everyone loved it! We finished it in a day. After we stored the leftover in the fridge my mom took out a slice and put it in the microwave. the chocolate oozed out it was so good! I also put little marzipan figures on the cake and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Will make every Christmas.

This is a fun recipe and is not nearly as difficult as it looks! I make this for my husband's family Christmas party almost every year. It's become a tradition. This will be the first year I actually added the meringue mushrooms and they were easy and fun. I always add some holly leaves from my bushes for realism and added decoration. The filling for us is always chocolate, either ganache or buttercream but if your family prefers, you can use jam or fruit filling or Dream Whip or even ice cream.

After a long summer day with the kids, there's nothing more refreshing than a juicy watermelon. Chef Helen Cavallo mixes up the classic summertime fruit by using it as the base for a delicious salad.
Slice and cube the watermelon, removing the rind and making approximately one-inch cubes.
Place arugula to a serving bowl.
Finally, add the watermelon, the onion, feta and olives to the serving bowl. Drizzle with the vinegar and olive oil and add the right amount of salt for your taste. Stir gently so that all ingredients meld together.

Go behind the scenes of three extraordinary US restaurants in this acclaimed new documentary featuring Tucson's own La Cocina de Gabby!
"A surprisingly personal and moving documentary about three very different types of restaurants." - Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times
"Joseph Levy's sneakily stirring documentary opens up feelings you would never have expected from the premise — a portrait of three American restaurants." – Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
"Engaging and involving … Spinning Plates is a foodie phantasmagoria and something more - it becomes a group portrait of the restaurant business as well as an involving look at personal dramas that go well beyond the kitchen." – Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Spinning Plates is a documentary about three extraordinary restaurants and the incredible people who make them what they are. A cutting-edge restaurant named the seventh-best in the world whose chef must battle a life-threatening obstacle to pursue his passion. A 150-year-old family restaurant still standing only because of the unbreakable bond with its community. A fledgling Mexican restaurant whose owners are risking everything just to survive and provide for their young daughter. Their unforgettable stories of family, legacy, passion and survival come together to reveal how meaningful food can be, and the power it has to connect us to one another. (Dir. by Joseph Levy, 2013, USA, 93 mins., Not Rated, Film Arcade) Digital

SafeSense Technologies
SafeSense Technologies is dedicated to the development of sensing systems using printed electronics. The team has been working towards developing a flexible sensor to detect and measure impacts received in the sports field. Once a player is hit, the information from the sensor will be sent to a smartphone based application that will use multiple variables to provide information used to determine whether or not an athletic trainer should check for a concussion. The smartphone application will provide a long-term and permanent record of past impacts and concussion assessments. The concussion monitoring in helmets, using a printed impact sensor along with the free smartphone application, is the first use case of this platform technology, and the team plans to incorporate printed sensing technology for other applications in the future.

Our Recent Testimonials
I am almost in shock over the amount of good news I have received this week. I can't even describe to you how grateful I am for your program, and for always being there for me, thank you so much.
It was only when I started taking the cottage cheese mixture, that I saw results almost immediately and consistently.The pain disappeared and I felt better too. I am deeply grateful to Dr Budwig and all your work and support.
I have put your information about the Budwig Center on my facebook page in hopes that it can help others who are in need of healing or want to prevent diseases.
First of all I would like to thank you for everything you did for my mom. We had an amazing experience, we are very thankful for everything you all did. Everyone went above and beyond our expectations.
I was diagnosed with a tumor 16 months ago and the hospital told me I only had 7 months to live. I wanted to be treated naturally, so I went to the Budwig Center in Spain. I am still here! I STRONGLY RECOMENED THEM!
It has been a very positive experience for us. We found the personal contact with the staff and the discussions very stimulating!
I feel it is no accident that I came upon a program that was appropriate for my situation. I thank you so much for all you are doing for me and others Dr. Jenkins. It means so much, the reliability and support.
What Are The Main Causes Of Degenerative Diseases and Tumor Activity?
Cause No 1 – Dr. Royal Rife was a microbiologist who knew that Degenerative Diseases and Tumor Activity were caused by very unique viral microbes which were inside cells. Dr Rife called them BX and BY viruses. Therefore, the BIO MEDIC clinic will recommend a therapy that will effectively de-vitalizes pathogens (parasites, fungi, bacteria, and viruses)
Other contributing causes: Nutritional (Mineral) deficiency - Research and countless testimonials indicate that all illnesses including Degenerative Diseases and Tumor Activity are the result of a nutritional deficiency, especially to the nervous system, the result is a neurological deficiency. The baseline of Degenerative Diseases and Tumor Activity is simply the deviation of mineral proportions and the resulting electromagnetic relationships relative to the attraction/repulsion. This nutritional deficiency causes structural changes in the amino acid, hormones, biofeedback communication, all cellular nutritional mechanisms, DNA instructions and replication, causing a change in cellular manufacturing instructions and supply. In addition, the toxic soup we live in today combined with negative emotional trauma further increases the breakdown of our cellular mechanism.
This nutritional deficiency is brought about by a regular consumption of white refined sugar, as in fizzy (soft) drinks (1 soft drink contains up to 10 teaspoons of white refined sugar), chips (crisps), store bought pastries, deep fried foods (French fries, donuts). Also, prepared meats (hot dogs, sausages, bacon, ham) fast foods, food additives, etc. Most foods are cooked at 350 to 400 F, but whenever we cook our food over 105 F (40 Celsius) instead of steaming our foods, we destroy many of the important enzymes. In addition to refined oils and processed foods, toxins, stress and other factors, our body suffers from a mineral deficiency which causes an unbalanced chemistry, which will alter the instructions of the DNA when producing new cells.
The BUDWIG CENTER nutritional protocol is correcting the proportions of all the minerals so that they are correct to each other in the body, which causes the correct electromagnetism in the body and to provide the material for the reactions to take place.
In Germany in 1952 Dr. Budwig was the Central Government's Senior Expert for fats and pharmaceutical drugs. She's considered one of the worlds leading authorities on fats and oils. Her research has shown the detrimental effects that commercially processed fats and oils have in destroying cell membranes and lowering the voltage in the cells of our bodies, which then result in chronic and terminal disease. Our body is electric and therefore the cells of our body fire electrically. They have a nucleus in the center of the cell, which is positively charged, and a cell membrane, which is the outer lining of the cell, is negatively charged.
Dr Budwig discovered that when unsaturated fats have been chemically treated that their unsaturated qualities are destroyed and the field of electrons removed. The fats ability to associate with protein and thereby to achieve water solubility in the fluids of the living body---all this is destroyed. As Dr Budwig put it, "the battery is dead because the electrons in these fats and oils recharge it. When the electrons are destroyed the fats are no longer active and cannot flow into the capillaries and through the fine capillary networks. This is when circulation problems arise and in our bodies every vital function and every organ is affected. This even includes the generation of new life and new cells".
Our bodies produce over 500 million new cells daily. Dr Budwig points out that in growing new cells, there is a dipolarity between the electrically positive nucleus and the electrically negative cell membrane with it's high unsaturated fatty acids. During cell division the cell and new daughter cell must contain enough electron rich fatty acids in the cells surface area to divide off completely from the old cell. When this process is interrupted the body begins to die. In essence, these commercially processed fats and oils are shutting down the electrical field of the cells allowing chronic and terminal diseases to take hold of our bodies. The cells are suffocating from a lack of oxygen.
A very good example would be tumors. Due to unsaturated fat, the course of growth is disturbed---the surface-active fats are not present; the substance becomes inactive before the maturing and shedding process of the cells ever takes place, which results in the formation of tumors.
Dr. Budwig discovered that when she combined Flaxseed oil, with it's powerful healing nature of essential electron rich unsaturated fats, and Quark or cottage cheese, which is rich in sulfur protein, the chemical reaction produced makes the oil water soluble and easily absorbed into the cell membrane.
With some of these patients she would start their therapy with an enema of 500CCs of an oil mixture and "that their subjective awareness of well-being increased immediately." She pointed out that many could not urinate, produce bowel movements, or when coughing were unable to bring up the mucus, but once the protocol was initiated this started reactivation of the vital functions and the patients immediately began feeling better. The Budwig diet appears to allow cells to start breathing again.
Note: All Medical advice, therapies, diagnosis, recommendations, consultations are conducted by a qualified Medical Doctor of the BioMedic Clinic associated with BUDWIG CENTER.

Fares will increase Thursday for motorists who don't get an EZPass.
BEREA — New technology from the Ohio Turnpike Commission would eliminate motorists' need to dig for change, locate tickets and wait in line.
Beginning Thursday, the commission will offer EZPass, an automatic, electronic toll-collection system. Many other states — including Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois and New York — implemented the system years ago.
L. George Distel, OTC's executive director, said the turnpike had an aging system, and when comparing the cost of replacing the system with putting in one that offers EZPass, there wasn't much difference.
EZPass also has the added benefit of customer convenience, Distel said.
The cost of the new system is about $50 million.
"The response has been tremendous," he said. "We've been inundated. We've already had 16,000 transponders ordered, and we're processing between 800 and 900 more. I expect that by Thursday, we'll have 20,000."
Applications for the pass are available on OTC's Web site, www.ohioturnpike.org, or by calling (888) 876-7453.
The commission will lease transponders for 75 cents per month, and a credit card is required to open an EZPass account.
There is also an initial $3 shipping-and-handling fee.
A $25 starting balance per transponder will be charged to the credit card to establish the account. Toll fares will be deducted from that balance.
If the balance dips to $10 or lower, the customer's credit card will be charged to increase the balance to at least $25.
Gwen Griffin of Mineral Ridge already has her EZPass.
"The rates are going up," said Griffin, who drives to work in Brecksville every day. "If you get the EZPass, you keep the same rates."
A cross-state trip will cost drivers $4.75 more under the new rate structure. For those who opt for EZ Pass, the rate structure won't change.
The increase will fund the EZPass system as well as other capital improvements.
Griffin now pays $2 each way of her trip. Without EZPass, she'd pay an additional 75 cents each way.
"For me, the thing is the cost," she said.
She also looks forward to spending less time waiting to pay tolls. With the transponder, drivers will be able to drive through without manually paying a toll.
Distel said the transponder, which is about the size of a deck of cards, eliminates the need for drivers to carry change or cash or to roll down their windows on a cold winter day.
Doug Sewell, who lives on Youngstown's North Side, bought an EZPass through Pennsylvania about six years ago because he travels in Pennsylvania and New York. Now that it's available, Sewell will use his EZPass in Ohio, too.
"It's a great convenience and time-saver because I don't have to carry cash or make complete stops to get on or off of turnpikes," Sewell said in an e-mail.
He drives to Maryland and Washington, D.C., several times a year, "and it means not having to carry cash for turnpike tolls that now approach $10 each way."
Mary Ann Cruz of Austintown commutes each day via the turnpike to her job in Brecksville. It costs her $20 per week, she said.
She's not sure whether she'll get an EZPass. She worries about the increasing rates beyond this week's increase and the elimination of jobs.
Another fare increase is expected in 2012, which will also have an EZPass and a non-EZPass rate.
Cruz says she sees more people using the turnpike lately including motorists from Pennsylvania and Michigan and questions the need for a fare increase.
Wow! It's about time!!! I'm so glad OH finally got it! However, I find it a little disturbing that motorists will be charged .75/mo. In an economy where people are trying to save $$ - this is actually an increase for current motorists. In IL, we had to pay for the transponder (maybe $10 - I don't remember, really) and the tolls stayed the same for us. For folks without the I-Pass, they pay double.
I totally agree with hsisover [ -"Wow! It's about time!!! I'm so glad OH finally got it! However, I find it a little disturbing that motorists will be charged .75/mo. In an economy where people are trying to save $$ - this is actually an increase for current motorists." ], but additionally I am very concerned about the loss of jobs statewide. What options are available for those losing their jobs [ i.e. (re)education programs, reassignments, etc.. ] ?
Unless you want to keep your money in OH don't throw out your PA EZPass. It is $9 in administrative fees a year for an OH EZPass and $3 for PA EZPass. I will probably buy my second one from OH when I am ready.
How many jobs will actually be lost? One worker that I talked to was "thrilled" that it was coming. If the Turnpike Commission did any advance planning , I would say next to none.
Another question is "Why is Ohio one of the last in the midwest/east coast to go with EZPass?"
Look at the list of states that "already" have EZPass... Chicago Skyway, Delaware Department of Transportation, Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, Indiana Toll Road, Maine Turnpike Authority, Maryland Transportation Authority, Massachusetts Port Authority, Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, New Hampshire DOT Bureau of Turnpikes, New Jersey Turnpike Authority, New York State Thruway Authority, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority, Virginia Department of Transportation, and West Virginia Parkways Authority.
Until tomorrow, the Ohio Turnpike has a been a huge pain for out-of-state and in-state drivers. Thank you for EZPass!
21st century? Welcome to the *20th century Ohio. I've had an EZ pass for 7 years, and I have friends (Ohioans) who have had one from NY since 1998 or 1999. Heck, even West Virginia and Indiana had EZ Pass before Ohio did.
And no, I don't feel sorry for the 30% of toll takers that will lose their jobs. They make $20 an hour for taking your change. Bizarre. This is the kind of jobs that should be lost.
Of course, if I have to pay a toll for this road, it should be perfectly maintained and I should be able to drive 90 mph.
Get ready for this scam!
First off, there IS going to be job loss. It's already happening. The OTC is trying to get full timers to take buyouts and if they don't get enough takers, layoffs are coming. Add in the fact that there are less hours for the part timers is also happening.
Second, anyone who expects it to save them time hasn't seen Ohio's EZ pass system. Each lane is GATED and each lane will also be a toll lane. Also, they will now accept credit cards. So if you're lucky enough to get a lane without any cars or trucks, you'll still have to come to a complete stop for the GATE to go up slowly. If you get in a lane with someone paying by credit card, expect to wait even longer than now. As usual, the OTC has chosen the least effective method and with the most pain and suffering for the workers and the drivers.
I've not even mentioned the massive toll increases for special trucks and over height trucks. Trucks will now pay per axle not weight a nice BIG increase.
Getting prepped for sale probably.
Fortunately I rarely travel Ohio turnpike, where I'm headed there are a number of free alternative or parallel routes.
Why is it someone asks how many jobs is it going to cost? When talking about a flat tax and getting rid of the IRS which is a big waste of government money because it doesn't work anymore people ask the same question. When computers and robotic machines came into the work place athe same question came up. All these things created more and better jobs
The Ohio Turnpike was "paid for" not too long ago. It should be a "free" road; at least for Ohio Residents. I will find an alternative route if I can avoid this increase; like I-76, I-77, etc. Why not sell it to a private entity, with the condition that if you can produce a valid Ohio Drivers License, you can travel it for FREE; everyone else pays a Toll, and the proceeds of the sale goes towards fixing up all the other roads in Ohio..
First of all, I find it disturbing that this paper showed a photo of the PA Turnpike EZ-Pass lane. The sign states EZ-Pass lane 55 MPH. I wish that was the case in Ohio. This state has no plan to implement high speed by-pass lanes. We are still going to be subject to pull into the toll booth and basically come to a stop before continuing.
Secondly, I just received my 4 transponders for EZ-Pass. I paid nothing for the units, including no shipping charges, and I will not pay any monthly lease fee. I ordered them through the Massachusetts Turnpike (masspike.com). They are happy to have my account, and supply me everything I need; free of charge.

Movies - The Oscars postsMonday February 02, 2009
Pedigree of a Slumdog: PGA, SAG, DGA...
Then factor in the Producers Guild of America, which began giving awards in 1989. How many times has a movie won the DGA and the PGA and not won best picture? Three times: In 1995 when the guilds chose "Apollo 13" and the Academy chose "Braveheart"; in 1998 when the guilds chose "Saving Private Ryan" and the Academy chose "Shakespeare in Love": and in 2005 when the guilds chose "Brokeback Mountain" and the Academy chose "Crash." That's 84 percent.
(BTW: Isn't it amazing how the guilds had the better choice each disagreeable year?)
Then factor in the Screen Actors Guild, which began giving awards in 1996. This is the fifth year all three guilds agreed. They agreed in 1999 ("American Beauty"), 2002 ("Chicago"), 2003 ("Lord of the Rings: Return of the King") and last year ("No Country for Old Men"). Of course each of those pictures won the Oscar. Now we're talking 100 percent.
In other words, if you choose anything other than "Slumdog" in your Oscar pool, you're rolling with some pretty loaded dice.

Mood Fight
First there was that odd, Joker-mask video he did for his Carpetbagger blog. Then last week he clapped the Academy on the back for choosing quality (meaning: "The Reader") over popularity (meaning: "The Dark Knight").
But yesterday? He launched into one of my least-favorite journalistic devices: How the popularity of this or that film reflects the nation's mood.
The Times is infamous for doing this. Just last year, on May 15th, Michael Cieply implied that the upcoming summer movies, including "The Dark Knight," "Tropic Thunder" and "Pineapple Express," were just too dark. "The mix," he wrote, "may not perfectly match the mood of an audience looking for refuge from election campaigns and high-priced gas, said Peter Sealey, a former Columbia Pictures marketing executive…"
Turns out "The Dark Knight" was just the refuge people were looking for. So Brooks Barnes took over, and on July 28th, wrote the following: "The brooding film, directed by Christopher Nolan, also fits the nation's mood, Warner Brothers executives said."
Problem solved. We weren't repelled from the movie because it reflected our mood; we were drawn to it. Once it became clear we were drawn to it.
See what fun you can have with the nation's mood?
Carr, whom I love, and who's a better writer than both Cieply and Barnes, has actually done something worse. He begins his article, "Riveting Tales for Dark Days," by once again lauding the Oscar nominees. They are, he says, an upbeat lot, particularly compared with the gloom of last year's "No Country" and "There Will Be Blood." They reflect our nation's can-do spirit in troubled times. In one graph he dismisses what he's doing and then keeps doing it:
Using the Oscars as a prism on national consciousness is a hoary, time-worn activity perpetrated by those of us who must find meaning in sometimes marginal work. But it does seem worth at least a mention this time around that both the Academy and audiences are showering love on such upbeat movies at a rough time in history.Why is this worse? Let's let "X" stand for "What people would do or are doing because of the nation's mood."
Cieply's X wasn't verifiable but predictive. It was two months down the road when only idiots like me would remember that he, or someone he had quoted, had made such a prediction.
Barnes' X was verifiable and correct. People were in fact going to see "The Dark Knight."
Carr's X? Verifiable and incorrect. And not just incorrect in a small way. Incorrect in a way that refutes his entire premise.
He mixes two unstable elements. He writes that January box-office receipts are up by 10 percent (true) and that the Oscar nominees are more upbeat than last year (true-ish, though there's nothing as purely pleasant as "Juno" in the mix). So he concludes people are drawn to these upbeat best picture nominees.
Problem? For whatever reason (and I blame the studios as much as anyone), we're not drawn to these upbeat nominees. We're drawn to "Paul Blart: Mall Cop," which has made, as of today, $69.3 million. The nominees, save for "Button," have all made less. Some a lot less: "Slumdog" ($59.5M), "Milk" ($21.9M), "Frost/Nixon" ($12.9M) and "The Reader" ($10.2M). In fact, as I mentioned yesterday, Brandon Gray, over at boxofficemojo.com, has written that these nominees are, at the time of the noms, the least-attended ever. (I'm still interested in his math on this, by the way.)
In Carr's defense, and despite the "showering love" line above, he does say that the upbeat nominees "reflect an appetite on the part of the Academy, and by proxy, the public, for a nice, big chunk of uplift."
That's a nice one. Using the Academy as a stand-in for the public when the two have never been further apart.
So I'm a little worried about David Carr. He's better than this.

Who Sees the Oscar Nominees Anyway?
Gray comes to this conclusion about Oscar and box office:
Slumdog Millionaire was a snowballing success prior to the Oscar nominations and Gran Torino, which received zero nominations for instance, was a hit, and neither picture's status fundamentally changed after the nominations were announced.He also mentions in passing the b.o. difficulties of "Frost/Nixon" but no one seems to be taking Universal to task for this. When the movie had buzz in December, Universal kept it limited (205 theaters). After the noms, they opened it wider (1,000+ theaters), but by then it had been overshadowed by both "Button" and "Slumdog," and word-of-mouth wasn't great, and people stayed away. Maybe they would've anyway. Who knows? But Universal pushed it for the Oscars, and then relied on the Oscars to push it to the public. Didn't work.
In better news, Focus Features, a Universal subsidiary on life-support, finally opened "Milk," one of the best films of the year, wider. It plays in 882 theaters today. About effin' time. Yet it's still the only best pic nominee not to play in at least 1,000 theaters.

Milk Left Out
But — that said — what a great group over at filmexperience! Nathaniel R. was nice enough to post the MSNBC quiz and dozens of his readers posted their results. I should immediately apologize for the Frank Langella question. Some actors in some roles make an early impression that never goes away, and, for me, Langella will always be Zorro. That's how I first saw him. At age 11. Later when he became a star on Broadway as Dracula, I'd think, "Hey, it's Zorro." When he played the villainous chief of staff in "Dave" I went: "Dude: Zorro!" On and on. Nixon, too. Still, I should've made the answer easier. Because how can you not imagine him as Jack the Ripper?
No apologies to anyone who got no. 14 wrong. That was a gimme.
One reader, meanwhile, suggested no. 8 didn't have much to do with the Oscars. For those who haven't taken the quiz (and c'mon already), here it is:
At the time of the nominations (Thursday, Jan. 22), how many of the best picture nominees had been seen in more than 1,000 theaters in the U.S.?
A. All five
B. Four
C. Three
D. Two
E. One
F. None
The answer is One, "Benjamin Button," and for a second I agreed with the reader. A second later I thought: Actually this is the most relevant question in the quiz. It's not some factoid only the most insane person would know (see: no. 2); it's about how isolated our supposed best pictures have become. Again: read this.
I found it particularly instructive that many of Nathaniel's readers thought "Milk" was one of the most-distributed nominees when, as of today, it's the least. Its theater-high was 356. Hell, every best-picture candidate expanded the weekend after the Oscars except for "Milk," which remains in its truncated state of 250. I'm no insider or businessman but... Does that make sense? Is there a plan here? Who's running Focus Features anyway?
Only a handful of best-picture nominees this decade haven't been distributed into at least 1,000 theaters: "Gosford Park" (918), "Lost in Translation" (882), "The Pianist" (842), and, the winner of the least-distributed best-pic nominee of the decade, "Letters from Iwo Jima" (781). If "Milk" doesn't expand, it will more than halve that mark.
So what is Focus Features saying? That it can sell "Brokeback" but not this? That Americans are more willing to understand the people who bombed Pearl Harbor, speaking in Japanese, than the people who opposed Prop. 8, speaking in English?
I've said it before, I'll say it again, and I'll keep saying it until someone gives me a response I understand: How good can the studios be if they can't sell quality?

The Quiz...and How Nathaniel R. Nudged Me Off the Fence
As promised, the Oscar quiz is up on MSNBC.com. Here.
I was going to add what's below to yesterday's post but decided not to spoil it for those brave few:
- Everyone's trumpeting Meryl Streep's 15th nomination. Most add that she's got two wins without specifying those wins. Here's a reminder: She's got a supporting ("Kramer vs. Kramer") and a lead ("Sophie's Choice"). Which means Hilary Swank, among others, has won more best actress Oscars than Meryl Streep. Hell, the last time Streep won, fellow nominee Anne Hathaway was six months old.
- Not only has Stephen Daldry, director of "The Reader," been nominated more times (3) than any of the other directing nominees, including Ron Howard and Gus Van Sant, but, astonishingly, he's only made three feature-length films. Which means he's been nominated for every film he's ever made. For the record, his three films are: "Billy Elliott," "The Hours" and "The Reader." I know, me neither.
Interestingly, I was on IMDb.com this morning, and one of the links on their daily "Hit List" was entitled: "Notes on the Oscar Nominations" from filmexperience.blogspot.com. I clicked, not exactly holding my breath. Most mainstream stuff is dull reportage that ignores fascinating but easy-to-find details (like Daltry, above), and most blogs are noisy little affairs that make me want to run away, take a shower, and not have an opinion for the rest of my life. This was neither. It was fun, charming, smart. As soon as I saw this graphic I knew I was in the right place:
Some of the stuff I knew nothing about (costume design?), some I knew all too well ("Harvey Weinstein is Back. God Help Us All."), but all of it was fun to read.
Even better was host Nathaniel R's live-blogging of the SAG noms, and his disappointment that "Milk" didn't win the cast award. I wrote about the SAGs this morning, but dispassionately, as Oscar indicators. Nathaniel helped push me off my fence. Because he's right. Both "Milk" and "Slumdog" are very good movies, and I'll be fine if "Slumdog" wins best picture, but if we're talking about ensemble cast acting, "Milk," with Penn, Franco, Hirsch, et al., has it all over "Slumdog," which is a director's movie. Freida Pinto is stunning, lovely to look at, and her part works, but... It ain't the same league.
Anyway, if you haven't, take the quiz already. And remember the thing about Daltry.

Lena Ward runs All Sport Couture largely out of her home. Ward decided to get back into the apparel business after years at home with her kids, and she saw a need for higher-end items for female football fans.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
After years in development, Ward got a licensing deal with the NFL. Her items, all tops that are a modern take on the traditional jersey, are being sold by the NFL in every team's logo.
"I kind of wake up some mornings and just kind of pinch myself," Ward said.
Ward is keeping a lot of the business local, too. In addition to working from home in Zionsville, she distributes through a nearby company, Value-Added Resources.
"Supporting other small, local businesses (is) important to me and as we need to add things, we'll try to keep doing the same," Ward said.
Ward has plans to add the NCAA to her collection and look into other professional sports in the coming years.
She's also a large part of a push by the NFL this season to target female fans. The league is installing one-weekend "style lounges" in stadiums that offer items for sale and free entertainment during games.
The style lounge came to Lucas Oil Stadium this past weekend. Ward was there to show off her designs and said that the interest has been great so far.
"It's got a long way to go. We're just in our infancy," Ward said.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I don't like to say this but don't listen to Lisa's advice on this one. Your story about playing WoW rather than looking for a job tells us that you have a problem that can't be solved by a present. Robin's advice about agreeing to a strict playtime routine is the only way I think you are going to manage it.
I feel for you though. My wife stopped playing after our 2nd kid was born and has never returned I quit for all of WOTLK and have returned in Cata. I have tried to stick to a schedule. This means I can't raid 3-4 nights a week with my guild. Instead once a week go with the core raiders alts on an alt run, and fill in on occasions. This means I'm not likely to down rag anytime soon, but we can get through the rest of FLs (or previously BWD or BOT) in an evening. Ocassionally I log on an stay up too late running heroics, but generally I am fairly good balancing it. It takes a lot of work though. Were I single without kids I can easily see myself on most weeks nights and during the days on weekends, wanting to raid hardcore.
In the end real life is more important, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to enjoy the pleasures that WoW brings as well. If you can maintain the balance.

Foreign Exchange, short for foreign exchange, is a worldwide market where traders are able to exchange one currency for another. Investors basically wager on the comparative strength of international currencies, such as the Japanese yen versus the U.S. dollar. If this is the right decision then profit will be made.
Learn about the currency pair once you have picked it. When you try to understand every single pair, you will probably fail at learning enough about any of them. Instead, you should choose the pair you plan on using, and learn as much as you can about it. Keep your trading simple when you first start out.
Don't ever make a foreign exchange trade based on emotions. The benefits of this are twofold. It is a risk management precaution, and it deters impulsive trades based on rash decisions. While your emotions will always impact your business, you can make an effort to stay as rational as possible.
Look at the charts that are available to track the Forex market. Using charts can help you to avoid costly, spur of the moment mistakes. However, having such a narrow focus may cause you to gain an inaccurate picture due to sharp swings and isolated market events. Longer cycles offer a great way to avoid stress, anxiety, and false hope.
If you lose a trade, resist the urge to seek vengeance. Similarly, never let yourself get greedy when you are doing well. You must stay calm and collected when you are involved in forex trading or you will find yourself losing money.
Don't try to jump into every market at once when you're first starting out in foreign exchange. Keep things simple until you get a grasp of how the system works. Focus trading one currency pair so that you can become more confident and successful with your trading.
It can be tempting to let software do all your trading for you and not have any input. This can result in big losses.
First set up a mini-account and do small trading for a year or so. This will establish you for success in Forex. Learn what makes a good trade and a bad one.
Actually, you should not do this. Planning will help resist natural impulses.
Foreign Exchange traders must understand that if they want to have success with trades made against the markets, they need to be patient and willing to commit for the long haul. Fighting trends, no matter your level of experience, can often be unsuccessful and stressful.
Foreign Exchange traders need to persevere in the face of adversity. Every so often, every trader is going to fall on some bad luck. What differentiates profitable traders from unprofitable ones is hard work and perseverance. If your prospects don't look so good, keep your chin up and stick to it, and you will succeed.
As a general rule, people should not trade in too many markets at the same time, particularly beginning traders. It is best to choose from the principal currency pairs. Do not go overboard and trade in too many currencies. This can result in confusion and carelessness, neither of which is good for your trading career.
Choose an extensive Foreign Exchange platform to be able to trade more easily. You may be able to sign up for mobile alerts as well as manage your trading data through your mobile phone. Mobile access to your trade information can give the ability to react quickly and flexibly to new situations. Just because you may not have internet access doesn't mean you should let an investment go by the wayside.
To limit the number of trades you lose profit on, utilize stop loss orders. Many hope to wait the market out until it shifts, when they hold a losing position.
Currency Pairs
Stick to currency pairs that are traded often. The market is always bustling when it comes to the top currency pairs, meaning you can always find a buyer or a seller when you need one. With rare currency pairs, however, when you want to trade in your position, you may struggle to source a buyer who will give you a fair price.
Have a notebook on you wherever you go. You never know when you might come across a great stock idea. Keeping pen and paper on hand will help you remember ideas later. This can also be used to keep up with your progress. You can then review the information in your journal to see how good it is.
There is no larger market than foreign exchange. Only take this challenge is your are willing to do your homework, by becoming well informed about global markets and currency rates. The every day person may find foreign currency to be a risk.

Dinner Tonight: 10 Fresh Ideas For Spaghetti
Spaghetti with tomato sauce was always a lazy Friday night dinner in our house. It was quick, easy, and best of all, everyone loved it. Here are ten ideas for spaghetti that might take a little longer than opening a jar, but are sure to take your spaghetti night to a whole new level.
• Spaghetti with Clams from Saveur - A signature dish from the Zuni Café!
• Spaghetti with Lemon and Olive Oil from Smitten Kitchen - We love the simple and fresh flavors in this pasta dish.
• Spaghetti Puttanesca from Martha Stewart - This spaghetti with kalamata olives and capers is one of our favorite variations on plain ol' tomato sauce.
• Spaghetti with Bacon, Breadcrumbs, and Arugula from TasteFood - We've been on an arugula kick lately. This sounds fantastic.
• Spaghetti with Cauliflower, Green Olives, and Almonds from Gourmet - We really wonder how all these ingredients come together. Guess we'll have to make it!
• Cowboy Spaghetti from BlogChef - A quick chili-esque sauce and plenty of cheddar cheese tops this plate of spaghetti.
• Spaghetti Carbonara from Leite's Culinaria - Always a classic. Always a sure win in the popularity department.
• Roasted Red Pepper Sauce from Simply Recipes - Just as easy as tomato sauce, but with roasted peppers.
• Spaghetti with Asparagus, Shiitake Mushrooms, Lemon, and Chives from Bon Appétit - All doused in a creamy cheese sauce. Oh, yes.
• Creamy Chicken Spaghetti Casserole from The Pioneer Woman - Save this one for Sunday afternoon so you have time to cook the chicken - or grab a rotisserie chicken from the super market on your way home.

I've made the spaghetti with cauliflower. I thought it sounded weird, at first, too, but it is amazing.
I happen to hate the texture of greens, but love the nutritional value, so I'm constantly looking for ways to "hide" them in dishes. As such, I'm a big fan of this recipe for collard green olive pesto: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Collard-Green-Olive-Pesto-109229. Collard greens were on sale at my grocery store, so I actually made this (again) today. Two words of advice: (1) it can come out salty, so you might want to cut back on the added salt, depending on your olives, & (2) depending on your tastes, you might not need as much olive oil as called for.
Spaghetti with smoked salmon, panna cotta and vodka.
I just made the another day spaghetti with lemon plus rockets and is just great and simple.
Spanish Sardines, Parsley, Garlic, Parmesan Cheese.
My new favorite is cacio e pepe, which is a Roman classic. You make a sauce using some of the pasta water, some grated pecorino romano, and lots of fresh black pepper. It is spectacular.
That's funny. In my house, spaghetti is always the lazy Monday evening dinner :)
@LEARP17 - That does sound spectacular!
I love lemon pasta and spaghetti or linguine work well with it. Just heat lemon zest, onions, and garlic in quite a bit of olive oil and boil your pasta. Then add some green vegetables (any kind - green beans, broccoli, zucchini, leafy greens, etc) and cook until they are done. Add your hot pasta and a 1/4 cup of pasta water, stir in your fresh-squeezed lemon juice, grate some hard salty cheese over top and serve. I've also made it with chicken, both leftover and cooked in the pan with the vegetables. I've also added sour cream at the last minute for a delicious creamy dish. The lemon flavor is so bright and wonderful. It's amazingly light tasting.
So many ways to eat spaghetti! I love nut sauces - they're creamy, but vegan, and the heat of the noodles thins them out a bit. Exceptionally easy! You can add beans or veg if you want something heartier, but they're lovely on their own.
like this pecan sauce made with rosemary, thyme and balsamic. Or this pecan/roasted red pepper sauce.
Or this spinach & cashew sauce. As spicy as you want it to be.
I also like a simple tomato sauce, which is endlessly versatile. You can make it with fresh tomatoes or a good-quality canned. YOu can make it herb-y, or spicy, add roasted red peppers, or smoked paprika, or olives and capers, or chipotle purée. I don't know why anybody buys a can of pasta sauce.
I also like combinations of vegetables and beans, like this light, bright sauce with asparagus, zucchini, white beans, fresh ginger, fresh thyme and lemon.
Or something simple, like this broccoli with tamari, honey, dijon and butter. It makes a nice broth that goes well with the pasta, and would work nicely with other vegetables as well.
For something spicy, try this with chickpeas, raisins, cauliflower and olives. Delicious broth!
Spaghetti with sun-dried tomatoes almond pesto, courtesy foodandwine.com. It's outstanding!
I could write a whole book about my favorite pasta recipes... here are a few to start: tagliatelle with cabbage, shrimp, and pecorino, mushroom lasagna, linguine bolognese, tuna noodle casserole, linguine with clams, carrot and butternut squash lasagna, linguine carbonara, spaghetti and meatballs, linguine with bacon, peas and mint, and pappardelle with duck ragu.
Spaghetti with parmesan cream -- sweat shallots, add cream, stock, lemon zest and basil, simmer and then finish with lots of parmesan. Something special (but simple) for Sunday lunches : )
Vermicelli with asparagus and shrimp in a bleu cheese sauce.
