Steve Dawson - Bug parade
Sample Songs:
Bug Parade

Dog Dreams Of Tulsa
Hangman's Blues
Big Bully
Zigzag City
The Low Road
Casey's Revenge
Peddlar And His Wife
Never To Have
I've had a whole slew of guitar tunes flying around in my head for a few years now. They were beginning to get very rambunctious in there and were starting to hold me hostage – I couldn't seem to work on any new material until I did something with them. What better way to release these vicious little tunes than to put them out on CD? March them right out into public where they can no longer hide and send them on their way. A Bug Parade for anyone who might be interested.
I've been obsessed with fingerstyle guitar since I was attending Berklee College of Music in Boston in the early 90's. I had a teacher there who was tyrannical about Chet Atkins and wouldn't let me leave the room until I could play the pre-1950 "Chet Tune of the Week". Needless to say it had a lasting impression, along with the music of Mississippi John Hurt, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Joseph Spence, Ry Cooder and Lenny Breau. Lately, my ears have turned to the great Hawaiian guitarists of the 20's and 30's; Sol Hoopii, Benny Nawahi and Roy Smeck. Their styles were so over the top and daring that I haven't found a way to subtly intertwine their influence into my own music. (The observant listener will find a tribute to Benny Nawahi after the last track on Bug Parade – my version of "Honolulu Bound" stuck out like a sore thumb in the context of the other tunes, so I had it expelled from the CD. It snuck back on there one night while I wasn't looking.)
For some reason, the songs that appeal to me the most tend to be ones about death, destruction and dismemberment. I'm really not a gloomy person and I have a pretty weak stomach for those sorts of things in movies and real life, but there's something glorious in songs about such horrid subjects. Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Hangman's Blues" and Hayes Sheppards' "Peddlar and his Wife" are two of my morbid faves from my 78 collection that found their way into this parade as well.
Although written for and usually performed as solo pieces, I decided that I'd like to add a dash of spice to these tunes. I brought in some friends to add some sonic tastiness; Elliot Polsky and Jean Martin on percussion, Andre Lachance on standup bass, and Jesse Zubot, my long-time musical co-conspirator from Zubot and Dawson, who plays a mean fiddle on one track. I restrained myself and only used my 3 favorite guitars on this project – a National Tricone (the lovely metal beast on the cover), a Weissenborn style Hawaiian guitar, and my huge Larivee acoustic.
Most of the music I've written and recorded in the past was conceived for a group. Having no one to lurk behind or to count on for making something sound really exciting is a very revealing process. I wanted to wait until I felt there was a good balance of slow & fast, lopey & nasty, joyful and morose music before I put an album out. One that was appealing to both kinds of people: those with a constant hankering for offbeat slide and quirky fingerstyle guitar music, and those with more refined tastes. So here it is - Enjoy the Bug Parade!

Room 1
The City, London
As the historic centre of London, as well as its main financial centre, the City or 'Square Mile' is home to many of the Capital's best known sights: St Paul's Cathedral, the Monument, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the Barbican Centre, the Museum of London, the Bank of England… and just across the River via the Millennium Footbridge, Tate Modern and The Globe.
Its tall buildings may dominate London's skyline, but at street level history surrounds you: long stretches of Roman wall (London Wall), narrow medieval streets, Wren churches, the Inns of Court, neoclassical banking halls, authentic Victorian pubs and markets (Leadenhall).
No longer deserted in the evenings or at weekends, the City now boasts attractive new public spaces around the bases of the glass towers, and a shimmering new shopping mall, One New Change designed by Jean Nouvel, beside St Paul's.
City hotels, not surprisingly, are geared towards the business customer, which means good facilities and efficient service, as well as good deals at the weekend.
At Threadneedles you can stay in a former banking hall while the modern purpose-built Apex City of London Hotel by the Tower of London has now been joined by Apex London Wall Hotel. If you prefer a home-from-home when you travel, 196 Apartments are conveniently located opposite Liverpool Street Station.
Five Star luxury and chic contemporary styling can be had at Andaz London, formerly known as the Great Eastern Hotel, a grand Victorian buiding beside Liverpool Street Station. It also houses some of the area's best bars and restaurants.
For budget travellers rather than business travellers, there are some cheap London hotels serving the City, particularly in East London and Docklands which have fast direct links on the Central Line and the Docklands Light Railway respectively. The Ibis and Holiday Inn chains both have a strong presence in these areas.

The commander of Iran's armed forces, General Ali Shahbazi, has presented his resignation to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who accepted it, Iranian state radio said Sunday.
The radio gave no reasons for his resignation, but Shahbazi, who is about 60, had not attended official ceremonies for several months, and Iranian military sources have said he "was suffering from an illness," without elaborating.
Khamenei, who is commander in chief of the country's armed forces, named General Mohammad Salimi, a career officer in Iran's regular ground army little known to the general public, as his replacement, the radio said.
In his letter of appointment, Khamenei asked Salimi to give a new impulse to the development of the country's armed forces.
Shahbazi, had been in the post since 1998. He took an active part as a commander in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, and was made deputy commander of the armed forces at the end of the conflict.
He was regarded as close to Khamenei, as well as to former president Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani and to current reformist President Mohammad Khatami.
He had several times recently publicly expressed support for the president. Rumours circulated in Iran last month that the army could step in to end the political crisis between Khatami and the republic's conservatives – TEHRAN (AFP)

Broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are active against a whole range of bacterial pathogens, have been on the market for a long time. Comparably versatile drugs to treat viral diseases, on the other hand, have remained elusive. Using a new approach, research teams led by Dr. Albrecht von Brunn of LMU Munich and Professor Christian Drosten from the University of Bonn have identified a compound that inhibits the replication of several different viruses, including the highly aggressive SARS virus that is responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome. The new method exploits the fact that interactions between certain host proteins and specific viral proteins are essential for viral replication. One of these host proteins is part of a signaling relay in the cell. The broad-spectrum antiviral compound used by the researchers blocks this signal pathway without having a deleterious effect on the host. "We have shown in this study that a broadly based search for new cellular targets can uncover new functional principles that have a demonstrable impact on virus replication," says von Brunn. "We have confirmed that the approach works in cell culture. We now hope that these laboratory results can be translated into clinically effective therapies. At the very least, our high-throughput procedure can be utilized to systematically screen various protein-virus interactions as potential targets for inhibitory compounds." The new study was carried out under the auspices of the SARS Research Network, which is supported by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF). (PloS Pathogens, 27. October 2011)
Broad-spectrum antibiotics that inhibit the growth of various species of bacterial pathogens are well known. Virologists, unfortunately, have no comparably versatile weapons in their armory. Individual drugs that are active against different types of viral pathogens are simply not available. "All of the antiviral agents we have are directed specifically at the virus itself," explains Professor Christian Drosten, Director of the Institute of Virology at Bonn University Hospital. "And since viral pathogens are highly diverse, each of these agents can attack only certain viruses." Moreover, viruses are also highly mutable, making the weaponry they can deploy against us even more powerful. What works against one viral strain may be essentially useless against another.
The SARS virus, a previously unknown pathogen which threatened to cause a worldwide pandemic in 2003, has spurred on the search for new antiviral substances. Only recently, it was shown that not only Chinese, but also European, bats carry the SARS virus. "But in contrast to the situation with bird influenza, one cannot simply kill these free-living animals in order to eradicate the pathogen," says Drosten. "That would have catastrophic ecological consequences and, apart from that, bats are retiring and secretive in their habits." If one wishes to develop drugs against viruses that can "hide" in animal species, one must explore other alternatives.
The research teams assembled by von Brunn and Drosten have now discovered a way to prevent the replication of a whole family of viruses by depriving them of an essential host factor. They first identified host proteins with which SARS viral proteins interact. This strategy led to the finding that a cellular signaling pathway is essential for the replication not only of the SARS virus, but also of a whole set of related viruses that are pathogenic to humans and animals.
"This signal pathway is normally involved in regulating the immune system," says Drosten. "We used a substance that inhibits the function of one of the proteins in the pathway, and found that it suppresses viral replication." In other words, drugs that block this pathway inhibit the replication of many different viruses, and therefore act as broad-spectrum antivirals. This opens a route to the treatment of conditions caused by the SARS virus, but also a whole variety of human coronaviruses, and pathogens that infect the internal organs of chickens, pigs and cats. Inhibition of this pathway does not damage the host, because parallel pathways can compensate for its normal role in the cell.
The successful inhibition of virus replication was not a result of serendipity. The researchers in Munich have developed a technique that allows them to systematically probe different proteins for the ability to interact with defined targets. "In order to replicate in the body of its host, a virus must first gain entry to a suitable cell type by binding to a specific receptor protein on its surface," says von Brunn, who works in the Max von Pettenkofer Institute at LMU Munich. "We have used an automated, high-throughput process to systematically test various protein-virus combinations as potential targets for possible inhibitors. The success of this strategy proves that a broadly based search for cellular targets can uncover new functional principles that have a demonstrable impact on virus replication," says von Brunn.
The investigators have shown in cell cultures that their approach actually works. "However, it will be years before we know whether or not these results can be translated into effective treatments," Drosten says. The study also underlines the importance of research collaborations. Drosten is convinced that "neither group could have done this on its own". The SARS Research Network, which is coordinated by Drosten, brings together virological expertise from six university institutes, two veterinary and four medical, located in Hannover, Gießen, Marburg, Bonn, Munich and St. Gallen (Switzerland).

Gastronomic Fight Club
Gastronomic Fight Club is a widely read food website with a mission to find the best of the best. Our focus is to provide our readers with unbiased critical reviews of all things food related. We try to keep things light and playful, with bits of sarcasm and wit thrown in, but all with the very serious goal of informing readers where they can fulfill their food cravings in the most satisfying ways.
Our staff comes from a variety of backgrounds, but the thing we all have in common is that we're passionate and opinionated about food. The name of the site is a play off of that. We're all on the search for the best dive Mexican restaurant so that we can get the creed for the discovery. Each contributor wants to be the person who discovers the next Bacon Flavored Ice Cream or exotic ultra rare chocolate that has a year long waiting list.
Our hope is if we infect others with this insane passion, the food world in general will be a more interesting place.
Our site is http://www.gastronomicfightclub.com/
You can see some of our most popular articles in the left gutter.
Our demographic is currently older (35+), affluent ($80k+), and educated (70+% college educated). At the moment it's also surprisingly Caucasian and childless. We will be re-launching the site with a more defined brand and hope to expand our demographic a bit, but our existing audience will still be our base.
Though we want to expand, we have high demands for our writers and require their pieces to be intelligently written to help us attract the ambitious audience that has the same goal as we do: to explore the food world and expand our knowledge to we can extract the most out of life with whatever means we have available to us.
We currently attract a mostly Midwestern audience, but this is the area that I expect to grow the most. Book reviews, recipes and similar stories know no geographic bounds. That said, we will be focusing on North America.
Because of our audience and our quality in writing, exploring and photography, we've been cited in Food & Wine, the New York Times and several other smaller publications like the Omaha-World Herald.
Other interests our audience has include travel, home decor, fitness and gardening. They also are more likely to be interested in politics, business and science.
An memorable and impactful logo that help position our brand within the marketplace. We will use the logo as the basis for picking our color palette for the website redesign. Will be used primarily on website, stickers and tees possible.
* icon based logo
* works in black-and-white as well as color
* Files: Print format - .ai (CMYK); Web format - .jpg & layered .psd (RGB)
PREFERENCES (likely given to):
* designs that use 6 colors or less
* square logos, followed by horizontal golden ratios
* Ignore prefs if it hinders you from making a killer design
I like clean aesthetics, modern mission furniture, almost anything with a Japanese design, Frank Lloyd Wright. Also a fan of wit, so if you can work that into a logo, great, but don't force it. I like whitespace, natural colors, blues, and most web 2.0 colors.
It's acceptable to incorporate 'GFC' into the icon, but no preference either way. I know "fight club" is in our name, but it doesn't have to be the basis of the design. I'm just worried of people getting hung up on that. We're about food, not fighting.
Overly complicated (i.e. Hard to silk screen)
Gimmicky photoshop filters/effects
Unreadable/gimmicky fonts (e.g. "fight club" font)

Unless good reason, avoid:
Flipped/Upsidedown letters

"Imagine what we could accomplish if…"
So began President Barack Obama in his state of the Union address. Which reminds me of an old saying: "If we had bacon, we could have bacon and eggs. If we had eggs." Don't get me wrong, I want a leader with a big vision, or even lots of little visions, but it can't be just pie in the sky. And it can't be confusing. And I'm confused.
When the president talked about an America with "an economy built to last, where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded" I thought, whoa! Could it be that Barack has secretly been reading my columns and is starting to buy into core conservative values? Alas, it ain't so. It was wishful thinking on my part that the man could finally take responsibility for his policies of the last three years and their role in the Great Recession. Well, surprise, he bears no responsibility for the State of the Union. Once again he emphasized that he inherited the mess, and in fact, has been doing his diligent best to dig us out ever since.
It's always fun to do a fact check after a grand speech like he delivered last Tuesday night. To save you lots of trouble, I'll boil it down: There were misstatements. And no one on the planet believes he has the slightest chance of getting anything on his wish list accomplished. Now hold on my progressive buckaroos, it's not all because of an obstructionist Republican Congress. There are credibility issues here.
Let's start with his premise that we could take the money we've been spending on wars and now spend half to pay down our debt and the other half to rebuild our infrastructure. But Obama knows well that the war money has mostly been borrowed and the savings won't exist (how do you pay down debt with borrowed money?). Millions of Americans realize this is a ridiculous proposal, yet he said it anyway, knowing that tens of millions of Americans will think it's a great idea. Disingenuous to the max. Then again, this is how he got elected in the first place.
A look at one more issue might explain my confusion. Once again the president castigated the oil industry for the tax subsidies they've received over the last century. Obama wants to "end the taxpayer giveaways… and double down on a clean energy industry." In other words, make the oil companies pay their "fair share" and give that money to companies like Solyndra. But instead of giving the solar panel company a half billion dollars to squander, he could have given every man, woman and child in this country over 1.5 million dollars each. Yep, we could have all become millionaires but for the bucks he threw down that rat hole. Imagine what we could have accomplished if …
As for the oil companies, the top three alone paid $43 billion in taxes last year — that's a rate of 50 percent of revenues. Their net profit? 6 percent. The oil and gas industries employ more than 9 million Americans and pay 6 percent of our total labor wages. I'm always reluctant to throw numbers out, but hopefully they show how crazy it is to make war on this industry while subsidizing others that aren't working.
Nonetheless, Obama announced a new clean energy program, one to be built on public lands for a public consumer — the Department of Defense. Government subsidies on government property for government agencies. The federal solution is the only road to the American Promise this president travels.

Jewels of the Oracle
What do you need help on? Cancel X
Only one legacy remains of the civilization known throughout the Fertile Crescent before the Sumarians. People of extraordinary intellect, their pursuits were of the mind instead of conquering and fighting. They built a secret complex to train and practice their skills of logic and reason. Using technologies and ancient magic long since forgotten, they constructed devices of incredible ingenuity. Those who entered the domain of the Oracle and resolved all the tasks set before them went on to greatness. Those who failed ... were lost forever. This structure, lost to the archeological record, has been sought for millennia but never found ... until now.

Add Chloe Grace Moretz to the growing chorus of people who were "appalled and angry" because of the marketing campaign for her upcoming movie, "Red Shoes and the 7 Dwarfs."
Moretz's animated film parody came under fire after some accused it of promoting body shaming. Part of the campaign features artwork showing a plump Snow White next to the question, "What if Snow White was no longer beautiful?"
Moretz took to social media Wednesday to say she was unaware of the campaign used to promote the film.
Sujin Hwang, one of the film's producers, apologized in a statement to CNN that said the ad "had the opposite effect from that which was intended."
"Our film, a family comedy, carries a message designed to challenge social prejudices related to standards of physical beauty in society by emphasizing the importance of inner beauty," he said in his statement.

And so we have another fluffy propaganda puff piece published today in the most expensive print real estate on the planet, entitled "Recovered Bin Laden Letters Show A Divided Al Queada," penned by Times communist and civilization-destroying eunuch Peter Baker.
In furtherance of the Obama administration's own attempts to capitalize on the anniversary of Bin Laden's (alleged) assassination, "Recovered" tells the story of the reams of documents and letters that were found in the phallic-faced terrorist's Paki hovel.
What I find curious is the way in which the spineless little earthworms at Amerika's newspaper of record chose to close the article.
From the article :
By printing what is obviously a blatant, cynical expression of taqqya, the Times is essentially presenting this posture of mendaciousness as based in reality. Further, by referring to "Islamic law" as though such a thing exists, the Times is once again painting a veneer of holiness and legalistic legitimacy on what is in reality a Dark-Ages cult of primitive superstitions designed to cater to the jealous rage of primitive, misogynistic, nomadic unibrows.
That's how I see it, anyway.

Are you thinking about buying or renting a property in central Bath? During the Georgian era, Bath became a popular spa town, which left a heritage of beautiful period architecture built from Bath Stone.
The aesthetic of these buildings, in combination with the city's Roman legacy, helps give Bath it's trademark look and feel. And, after you add the city's theatres, museums and vibrant culture into the mix, you're left with one of the most desirable places to live in the UK.
But is central Bath the right place for you to set up home? Read on to find out more about the area.
The city is served by several transport links, including the centrally located Bath Spa train station and Bath bus station. Both offer accessible routes across the city to neighbouring Bristol, as well as the region's employment hotspots.
For commuters that travel further afield, Bath Spa train station offers a direct line to London Paddington, with a journey time of around one and a half hours.
Bath's varied food and drink scene caters for every taste and budget imaginable. As such, a wealth of top restaurants, cool cafés, stylish bars and unique gastro pubs prosper alongside all of the high-street chains you'd expect to see.
Casanis is an intimate French Bistro that delivers an award-winning menu, and the Hudson Steak House is a bar and grill that no meat lover will be able to resist. If it's a spot of lunch you're after, The Jazz Café, overlooking Kingsmead Square, delivers hearty, delicious portions of freshly cooked food.
If you're looking for somewhere to grab a drink, Bath is home to a wide selection of pubs. The Bell, arguably Bath's finest 'alternative' pub, is famous for its live music. Alternatively, The Raven, voted City Pub of the year 2010, is the place to sample a beer and ale combination you'll never forget.
There is plenty in the central Bath area to keep residents fit and active. Aquaterra, the local leisure centre, has a gym, exercise classes and swimming facilities. Plus there are several dedicated gyms, including Fitness First, located near the heart of the city, which offers modern training facilities.
The city also boasts several golf clubs, including Bath Golf Club, one of England's oldest and best courses, which is located just over a mile from the city centre. If you prefer to have a racket in your hand, Bath is home to a number of top-class tennis clubs – including the University of Bath Tennis Centre, which is located 1.8 miles from the city centre.
Alternatively, there are a number of other local sports clubs including diving, rowing and cycling. Plus, there is a rambling club that will allow you to explore the beautiful countryside surrounding the city.
Bath is home to many picturesque parks and gardens, which makes it a beautiful city when the sun is shining.
Royal Victoria Park, which is overlooked by the famous Royal Crescent, is located 1.3 miles from the city centre. Attractions include a boating pond, botanical garden, miniature golf course, children's play park and lush green expanses on which to enjoy a picnic.
Other notable parks within the city's limits include Sydney Gardens, Henrietta Park, and Alexandra Park. All three parks offer both a retreat from and spectacular views of the city, and are open and free to enter all year around.
If the heavens open, in Bath, it doesn't have to mean an end to the fun. The city is home to a rich variety of museums that are a product of Bath's culturally vibrant past and present.
The Roman Baths, for example, are at the epicentre of the city's historical heritage. In contrast, The Holburne Museum and Victoria Art Gallery provide an insight into Bath's classic and contemporary art scene.
If you're looking for relaxation rather than stimulation, Thermae Bath Spa provides the chance to bathe in mineral-rich waters or enjoy a range of world-class treatments.
For a spot of retail therapy, head to Bath's SouthGate Shopping Centre. Recently built and open until late most evenings, here you'll find stores including H&M, River Island, Topshop, Apple and Debenhams. In addition, the High Street is also home to high-street shops, independent boutiques and family-run stores.
Bath also boasts a wide variety of local markets, including the Bath Farmer's Market, which sells local, fresh produce at a fair price. For festive treats, look no further than the Bath Christmas Market, which runs from late November to mid-December every year.
You'll also find most of the major supermarkets in and around the city centre including Waitrose, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and multiple local-type stores such as Co-Op and Tesco Express.
The Theatre Royal – divided into the Main House, The Egg and The Ustinov Studio – is one of the oldest and most beautiful theatre venues in the UK. Alternatively, the Chapel Arts Centre is Bath's premier alternative arts venue and features regular performances of dance, comedy, mime and poetry
Bath is also home to one of the country's best rugby union sides. As such, Saturday afternoons are often awash with the blue and white colours of Bath Rugby's home jersey.
The city's film enthusiasts are served by two local cinemas. The Odeon shows all the latest blockbusters and big releases, while The Little Theatre Cinema specialises in showing independent and foreign language films.
For kids, there are an abundance of play parks in Bath, including the one in the aforementioned Royal Victoria Park. Here you will find a varied range of play areas that offer an exciting environment for children of all ages to play and express themselves in.
Meanwhile, Beazer Maze, next to Bath's Rugby stadium, is a picnic area and paving stone maze that provides a stimulating challenge for kids to conquer.
There are five libraries in the Bath area; the largest of these is the Bath Central library, located above the Waitrose, 0.3 miles from the city centre. Bath Central library stocks a varied range of literature – including adult and children's sections – as well as computers, printing in black and white or colour and free Wi-Fi.
Bath has several health centres. However, it is important to note that the centrally located walk-in centre has been closed and replaced by the Urgent Care Unit. The Unit is located at the Royal United Hospital (RUH), 1.9 miles from the city centre.
Bath provides residents and visitors with plenty of parking, including 13 car parks that serve the city centre areas and three park and rides. Additional on-street parking is available, however to park in many residential areas you will need to purchase a permit from the local council.
Many of Bath's roads were originally designed for horse and cart, which means they can become quite narrow in places. As a result, the city's roads do sometimes get congested with traffic – especially during the morning and evening rush hours.
There are a variety of schools in and around Bath. Primary schools include Bathwick St Mary Primary School, St Stephens Primary School, Bathampton Primary school, St Andrew's CE Primary School, and Widcombe Infant School.
Similarly, for older children, there are a variety of secondary schools and academies. These include Hayesfield, Beechen Cliff, Bath Community Academy, Oldfield School, Ralph Allen School and Saint Gregory's Catholic College.

(visited by Sacha Peter and Calvin Chang)
26-Aug-2007 -- This confluence is located just to the east of a lake. When you look at this point on Google Earth, it looks like a dry lake, but when we visited the site, it clearly had water. This confluence was completed strictly from the Canadian side of the border.
We parked on the southwest corner of a gravel road that connects to highway 4. There was no sign of life and there was a significant wind going west to east. I would guess that this is some sort of agricultural research area, although nobody was around and the nearest buildings are 100-year old wooden shacks ready to fall down. From this spot, we proceeded west-bound, just above the three vertical rows of trees that can be seen on the satellite imagery. After clearing the third row of trees, we proceeded directly to the confluence. The ground was ploughed recently.
About 800 meters from the confluence, the property was fenced off with barbed wire. On the corner of the fence was plain wire fence, and there were no signs of "no trespassing", so we decided to cross over. The terrain was somewhat hilly, but easily passable. Closer to the lake there was another barbed wire fence to cross, and this point was about 200 meters away from the confluence.
On the hill just east of the confluence were horses. They were standing near the barbed wire fence and as we continued to walk toward the confluence, their heads continued to follow us. It was rather eerie being watched in this rather remote area.
Finally, we reached the confluence. The vegetation in the immediate area looked like it had the benefit of water and we took our photos and got out the same way we left, leaving some distance between ourselves and the horses.
The Canada-US border fence was visible from our location, but we did not decide to venture over there as the ground was somewhat moist. The whole thing took about an hour and a half and the only challenge was to be vigilant for rattlesnakes, of which we saw none.

When Jimmy Kimmel opens the 89th Academy Awards on Sunday night, you can likely expect one of his patented "Drunk Trump" segments. But it's the more sobering side of the president that will likely dominate the acceptance speeches, as one of the most diverse group of nominees in Oscar history will take the Dolby Theatre stage in Hollywood, California, to accept and present the awards.
In many ways, Trump is the best thing to happen to the hopefuls from Islamic nations. They, including Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, a nominee for "The Salesman," are likely to gain from the Academy's "sympathy" vote in the wake of Trump's Muslim travel ban. Farhadi, a previous winner for 2011's "A Separation," has already announced he's boycotting the ceremony because of the ban. And in the Documentary Shorts category, the frontrunning "White Helmets" is likely to generate similar support for its story about Syrian civil defense crews pulling dead and wounded bodies from the rubble of buildings in cities like Aleppo, where Trump-admirer Vladimir Putin has ordered air strikes on women, children and hospitals.
Yes, politics will be front and center when the show begins at 8:30 on ABC. But the night is all but guaranteed to belong to "La La Land" and its record-tying 14 nominations. Look for it to score wins for Best Picture, Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Director (Damien Chazelle), cinematographer (Linus Sandgren), production designer (David Wasco and Sandy Reynolds-Wasco), song (the almost annoyingly catchy "City of Stars") and score (Justin Hurwitz).
The only real drama will be for Best Actor, where local hero Casey Affleck (for "Manchester by the Sea") is in a dead heat with "Fences" star Denzel Washington. Should the latter win, along with heavy favorites Viola Davis ("Fences) for Best Supporting Actress and Mahershala Ali ("Moonlight") for Best Supporting Actor, it would mark the first time three African Americans took home Oscars in the acting categories. Which would be fitting since this is already the first year black actors have scored nominations in all four categories.
Yet, the night might be overshadowed by Trump, who was the subject of many acceptance speeches at the Golden Globe and SAG awards. So I doubt he'll be attending. But his presence will definitely be felt.
The nominees: "Arrival"; "Fences"; "Hacksaw Ridge"; "Hell or High Water"; "Hidden "Figures"; "La La Land"; "Lion"; "Manchester by the Sea"; "Moonlight"
Shouldn't be here: "Lion" suffers from bipolar filmmaking, mating a gritty, deeply involving first half with a sappy, yawn-inducing final act.
Should be here: "Love and Friendship" was Jane Austen the way it's meant to be done: funny, classy and opulent in both its look and in its execution.
Should win: "Manchester by the Sea" boasted the entire package of fine writing, terrific acting and exacting cinematography that accurately captured both the look and feel of working class Massachusetts.
Will win: Damien Chazelle's "La La Land" was so unlike any movie of recent memory; in that it was both innovative in its riffs on old Hollywood and its ability to appeal to a mass audience without forcing film buffs to check their brains at the door. But backlash from critics who find its story slight might open the door for either "Moonlight" or SAG-winner "Hidden Figures" to sneak in.
The nominees: Casey Affleck, "Manchester by the Sea"; Andrew Garfield, "Hacksaw Ridge"; Ryan Gosling, "La La Land"; Viggo Mortensen, "Captain Fantastic"; Denzel Washington, "Fences"
Shouldn't be here: Gosling was fine as Emma Stone's jazz-loving partner in "La La Land," but he's no Fred Astaire.
Should be here: Adam Driver's quiet, but affecting performance in the grossly overlooked "Paterson" was a master class in subtlety and nuance.
Should win: Casey Affleck set a new standard for portraying a father wracked by grief in Kenneth Lonergan's heartbreaking story of a Massachusetts janitor struggling to cleanup his life after suffering the worst of tragedies. But recent accusations of sexual harassment aimed at him by two workers on the set of his directorial debut, "I'm Still Here," have all but ended his chances.
Will win: For me, Washington was a bit over the top in his ferocious turn as a bitter 1950's-era African-American wrongly denied his piece of the American pie. But the skill in which he wrapped his booming voice around August Wilson's marvelously written words was nothing short of transforming.
The nominees: Isabelle Huppert, "Elle"; Ruth Negga, "Loving"; Natalie Portman, "Jackie"; Emma Stone, "La La Land; Meryl Streep, "Florence Foster Jenkins"
Shouldn't be here: Streep and Portman were both trying too hard in turning real-life characters into grating annoyances. Plus, both already have Oscars for far better work in far better movies.
Should be here: The absences of "Arrival's" Amy Adams and Taraji P. Henson from "Hidden Figures" are real head-scratchers, considering how essential each were in earning their respective films so much love from the Academy.
Should win: Isabelle Huppert was outstanding in not one, but two, terrific films in "Elle" and "Things to Come," waking up critics and Academy voters to what a hidden gem the 63-year-old actress has been over the past four decades.
Will win: This will be a showdown between Stone and Huppert, both recipients of Golden Globes in January. But Stone should have the edge given that she also prevailed at the SAGs and BAFTAs for her affecting portrayal of a woman caught between her love for her man and her love for her art. In "La La Land," she sang and danced with passable skill, but it was her infectious charm and charisma that will land her her first Oscar.
The nominees: Mahershala Ali, "Moonlight"; Jeff Bridges, "Hell or High Water"; Lucas Hedges, "Manchester by the Sea"; Dev Patel, "Lion"; Michael Shannon, "Nocturnal Animals"
Shouldn't be here: Patel was actually the weakest link in "Lion." When he appeared at the midway point, taking over for pint-sized scene-stealer Sunny Pawar, the film lost all its heft and momentum.
Should be here: Sunny Pawar may only be 8 years old, but what he does in the first half of "Lion" as an orphan lost in the cut-throat streets of Calcutta was up there with Patel's own work in his equally spectacular debut in "Slumdog Millionaire."
Should win: Jeff Bridges was the heart and soul of "Hell or High Water," playing a lawmen who loved his country but hated what the politicians were doing to it.
Will win: This is Ali's Oscar to lose. In fact, he might be the night's biggest lock for his strong, sensitive portrayal of a compassionate drug dealer in "Moonlight."
The nominees: Viola Davis, "Fences"; Naomie Harris, "Moonlight"; Nicole Kidman, "Lion"; Octavia Spencer, "Hidden Figures"; Michelle Williams, "Manchester by the Sea"
Shouldn't be here: Kidman's role as the kindhearted adoptive mother in "Lion" was easily her best work in years. But was it really Oscar worthy? I think not.
Should be here: If you want to talk about the true meaning of "supporting," take a long look at Lily Gladstone in Kelly Reichardt's "Certain Women." As a lonely ranch hand in desperate search of human companionship, she was a revelation, using little more than heartbreaking facial expressions to make crystal clear the pain of loneliness and rejection.
Should win: I really, really liked what Michelle Williams did with three or four short, but powerful scenes opposite Casey Affleck in "Manchester by the Sea." She didn't just show the pain of a woman recovering from a great tragedy; she made you feel it.
Will win: This is clearly Viola Davis' year, but will her show-stopping turn as a betrayed wife in "Fences" make up for the two previous nominations ("The Help" and "Doubt") for which she clearly should have won? Like they say, better late than never.
The nominees: Damien Chazelle, "La La Land"; Mel Gibson, "Hacksaw Ridge"; Barry Jenkins, "Moonlight"; Kenneth Lonergan, "Manchester by the Sea"; Denis Villeneuve, "Arrival"
Shouldn't be here: Gibson's well-documented anti-Semitism may have been forgiven, but to give him an Oscar nod to boot for a film that didn't even find its footing until halfway through is a much too generous peace offering.
Should be here: What David Mackenzie did with the fun, absorbing "Hell or High Water" was just too outstanding to overlook. And unlike Gibson, he sustained his film's power from start to breathtaking finish.
Should win: Chazelle may only be 31, but he possesses the skill set of an aged veteran like Scorsese or Eastwood. And it shows in how he gets every little detail right in his magnificent "La La Land."
Will win: After winning every post-season prize possible, including the coveted Director's Guild Award, it looks like Chazelle will make it a clean sweep with the Oscar.
The nominees: "Kubo and the Two Strings"; "Moana"; "My Life as a Zucchini"; "The Red Turtle"; "Zootopia"
Shouldn't be here: Much praise has been heaped upon "Kubo," but I found it to be little more than an overly busy martial arts exercise full of dull characters languishing in an even duller story.
Should be here: The omission of the smart and endlessly original "April and the Extraordinary World" is simply inexcusable. It was as beautiful as it was transporting, but apparently too smart for voters who favored inferior efforts like "Kubo" and "Moana" over it.
Should win: Like "April," "My Life as a Zucchini" is a visually sumptuous, highly involving tale that takes a child's eye view of the world, yet avoids condescension and emphasizes truth in a bold, invigorating way.
Will win: Some will say "Zootopia" is a reflection of our racial intolerance. But sadly, it's more a case of life imitating art, as the script for this amazingly insightful movie was written years before the rise of Trump.
The nominees: "13th"; "Fire at Sea"; "I Am Not Your Negro"; "Life, Animated"; "O.J.: Made in America"
Shouldn't be here: "Fire at Sea" and "Life, Animated" both suffered from obviously staged scenes, severely detracting from their impact.
Should be here: "Weiner" and "Gleason" were both outstanding examples of how documentaries are meant to present affecting slices of real life. And if what I believe is true – that "Weiner" was passed over because voters blamed that film's subject, Anthony Weiner, for Hillary's loss to Trump – it's beyond the scope of childishness.
Should win: "13th" and "I Am Not Your Negro" were both outstanding in their prescient purview of race in America. And in any other year, they'd win the prize easily. But Ezra Edelman's seven-plus hour dissection of our nation's double standard on race was just so eye-opening, not to mention clever in how it used the O.J. Simpson murder trial to encapsulate 400 years of racial inequality, that it makes this a no-brainer.
Will win: O.J. was a football star, but for Edelman, this is a good old-fashioned slam dunk.
The nominees: "Land of Mine"; A Man Called Ove"; "The Salesman"; "Tanna"; Toni Erdmann"
Shouldn't be here: "Land of Mine"
What should: "Elle." How can Isabelle Huppert score a rare Best Actress nomination for a foreign-language film without the film itself not getting a nod? Her amazing work in Paul Verhoeven's funny, nasty tale of vengeance and guilt was just too delicious to ignore. So, why was it?
Should win: It's a tough call between Asghar Farhadi's "The Salesman" and Hannes Holm's "Ove," but I'm going to go with the latter because of its ability to address Muslim immigration in Europe with a story boiling over with warmth and deft comedy.
Will win: A month ago, I would have told you the overrated "Toni Erdmann" was a lock, but in the wake of Trump's Muslim travel ban, voter sympathy now lies firmly with Farhadi, an Iranian who is just one of the innocents locked out by the directive. Besides that, "The Salesman" is one helluva crime thriller, addressing guilt, obsession and the lack of respect and honor for women repressed by Sharia Law.
The nominees: Damien Chazelle, "La La Land"; Kenneth Lonergan, "Manchester by the Sea"; Mike Mills, "20th Century Women"; Taylor Sheridan, "Hell of High Water"; Yorgos Lanthimos and Efthymis Filippou, "The Lobster"
Shouldn't be here: "The Lobster" was fascinating, but a bit too discombobulated to earn an Oscar nod.
Should be here: Matt Ross, whose "Captain Fantastic" was a hilarious, relevant take on how consumerism and greed is turning our children into selfish, unfeeling automatons.
Should win: If you want to talk great writing, it's hard to beat Lonergan's heart-tugging tale of grief and redemption in "Manchester by the Sea."
Will win: Like Chazelle has won every directing reward for "La La Land," the same has been true for his highly original screenplay, which mixed music and romance with important questions about what you value more: love or love of being true to yourself.
The nominees: Eric Heisserer, "Arrival"; Barry Jenkins, "Moonlight"; August Wilson, "Fences"; Luke Davies, "Lion"; Allison Schroeder and Theodore Melfi, "Hidden Figures"
Shouldn't be here: Luke Davies wrote half of a good movie with "Lion," but the final hour slipped into clichéd sap.
Should be here: With "Love and Friendship," Whit Stillman fully embraced his inner Jane Austen with his bitingly funny tale of high-class women and the hapless boobs who adore them.
Should win: The duo behind "Hidden Figures" didn't display much edge or drama, but their script about three intelligent black women doing it for themselves was arguably the most entertaining movie of the year.
Will win: Here's where "Moonlight" will shine brightest for its writer-director, Barry Jenkins. And the award will be well-deserved for a man who movingly showed what it means to be both black and gay in an often intolerant world.

June 8, 2012
en route to San Francisco
When you hear two politicians in the US going toe to toe arguing about public finances (i.e. money that isn't theirs), they'll often cite numbers published by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
In political circles, the CBO is considered an honest broker… an objective referee that simply presents the facts without taking a position on the numbers.
As such, it's usually interesting when the CBO publishes something new about the macro situation of the world's largest economy.
Today they've released an infographic showing America's debt to GDP ratio over the last 100-years, through World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Nixon Gold shock, and the Global Financial Crisis. (click to enlarge)
[As a note, this graphic only shows 'federal debt held by the public' expressed as a percentage of GDP. Total federal debt, including debt owed to the Federal Reserve and intragovernmental agencies like Social Security, is much higher.]
It's really amazing to put in context how much debt levels have risen since (a) the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, and (b) Richard Nixon ending dollar/gold convertibility in 1973.
I suspect that our savvy readers will not find this coincidental.
For what it's worth, both of the CBO's scenarios for future debt growth seem absurd; in the 'baseline' case, they assume that the economy grows, spending falls, debt falls, and the unicorns come out to play in the sunshine.
In the 'alternative fiscal scenario,' the office assumes that current spending policies remain in place and debt skyrockets to Japan's level.
Both of these scenarios are underpinned by an even larger assumption– that the status quo is maintained, i.e. the United States remains the world's most powerful economic force, can print currency at will without consequence, and can inspire foreigners to buy Treasuries.
This assumption is a major stretch, to say the least.
The realistic scenario to consider is that foreigners lose confidence in the US dollar, the dollar is displaced by gold, the renminbi, SDRs, or some other reserve alternative, and the flood of dollars back to US borders creates conditions for substantial price inflation and/or a total restructuring of US debt.
This isn't far-fetched at all. Reserve currencies have shifted regularly throughout history, from 15th century Florence to the Spanish Empire to the Ottoman Empire, and this generally leads to painful consequences for whichever country is on its way out.
Naturally, you'll never see this sort of projection coming from a government office… it'll just be some version of the status quo in perpetuity.
Rather than relying on some bureaucrat, though, history is really the best indicator for what will happen in the future. It may not repeat, but it'll certainly rhyme. And history shows that the long-term likelihood is financial repression, severe inflation, and/or default.
The nice thing is that anyone can heed this lesson and take basic steps to reduce any nasty consequences… steps like:
- buying precious metals and storing them abroad
- opening a foreign bank account to safeguard against capital controls
- purchasing foreign property and agricultural land
- diversifying income, business, and investment opportunities overseas.
- obtaining a second citizenship
The options are almost limitless. The time left to take action is not.

Long Island restaurant reviews: This week's picks
In this week's Newsday, Peter Gianotti reviews the latest incarnation of Jedediah Hawkins Inn in Jamesport. The restaurant opened seven years ago and in that time has had almost as many executive chefs. Lia Fallon, formerly of Amarelle in Wading River, "is even better here, brightening spring and summer with food of the moment and the East End." Her "fare lets you know the time of year as readily as the calendar, the location as clearly as a GPS" and earns a rare 3½ stars.
Joan Reminick reviews Gyrolicious. The Jericho outpost of the East Meadow original is the rare Greek restaurant that makes its own gyro meat.

GossipCop "Forbes has released its annual list of the highest paid actors. The Forbes rankings are based on the 12-month earnings estimates, so the Top 10 (11, actually) is not engraved in stone."
Rob and Taylor tied for the last spot.
Forbes Highest Paid Actors
Robert Pattinson
$26.5 million
Pattinson has been diligently pursuing work outside of Twilight but so far, he hasn't had any successes. Remember Me, in 2010 failed to connect with an audience. Last year's Water for Elephants turned a nice profit because it was made on such a low budget but it was hardly a blockbuster. With Twilight ending, Pattinson will have more chances to prove himself outside of the franchise.
Taylor Lautner
$26.5 million
While Lautner and his Twilight costar Robert Pattinson earned the same amount of money last year, only Lautner made our Celebrity 100. That's because thanks to the movie Abduction, he had more publicity. This fall's Breaking Dawn — Part 2 will be the final Twilight movie. After that, Lautner will have to prove that he's more than just Jacob.
And here's the full list via Celebuzz
1. Tom Cruise, $75 million
2. Leonardo DiCaprio, $37 million
3. Adam Sandler, $37 million
4. Dwayne Johnson, $36 million
5. Ben Stiller, $33 million
6. Sacha Baron Cohen, $30 million
7. Johnny Depp , $30 million
8. Will Smith , $30 million
9. Mark Wahlberg, $27 million
10. Taylor Lautner, $26.5 million
11. Robert Pattinson, $26.5 million
And as reported back in June, Forbes entire list of the Highest Paid Actresses
1. Kristen Stewart, $34.5 million
2. Cameron Diaz, $34 million
3. Sandra Bullock, $25 million
4. Angelina Jolie, $20 million
5. Charlize Theron, $18 million
6. Julia Roberts, $16 million
7. Sarah Jessica Parker, $15 million
8. Meryl Streep, $12 million

Is your little boy or girl afraid of the dark? Well those times are over, friend.
The Bazooka Light (along with the uzi, sniper rifle and pistol) is not some plastic novelty. It's an all-metal lamp—one that will feel like a real gun in your child's hands as he or she puts a stop to the Boogie Man's reign of terror once and for all.
Sadly, these lamps are limited edition and probably cost a premium price. But what's the smile of a child worth, their small face beaming in the aura of luminescent weaponry.

Giordana Trade Short Cuff Sock - Women's
Tech Specs
Easier than doing the laundry.
This anklet is a classic. The Giordana Sagittarius logo, the cuff, the mesh, the contrasting toe and heel: this sock has been around. The Giordana Trade Women's Socks are a continuation of a tradition spanning the better part of twenty years.
The Trade Socks have been updated with 65% New Life X-Dry polyester, which wicks well and feels dry, even under moist conditions. A touch of Lycra enhances the fit, while nylon rounds out the materials.
Because it's a women's sock, Giordana has made the sock narrower through the arch. And because women are typically a bit shorter, the cuffs are 4.5cm in height, with 3cm the distance from the heel to the cuff.
The Giordana Trade Women's Socks come in Black/White and White/Purple.
Another view
So comfy, I'm tempted to wear them to work, around the house, anywhere else you'd wear socks in the summer (when not in heels/sandals; or hiking, of course!).
Red & Black
Ladies', looking for a red/black version? These are actually the men's socks, in a size 'M'. They fit the same, and pretty much look the same. Nice to have options, and forget the stereotyping!
Same great quality...Giordana, of course!
The Black & the White of it
Look Mom, no Bleach! This pair was fortunate enough to have escaped that laundry day!
I think you can see almost through the tops of these socks...similar to L.G.
Real Nice.
Great Breezy Summer Socks
Got these in 3 color varieties; but after a laundry mishap, now 3.5 color varieties (one got thrown in with the 'whites' by accident...and then the dryer)! Now got to replace the once purple/white pair...bummer. The one of course also went into the dryer...look what that did! Talk about "Shrinkage", big time!
Anyway, these are really nice, light weight summer socks. They stay in place, and hold their color, so long as you don't bleach and then toss them in the dryer!
Great Summer Socks
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Don't how much you can say about a sock except that these did not make my feet sweat, very breathable. Wear a 7 1/2 and M fit perfectly.
UP-DATE: LOVE'EM, Too! No problems at all.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger condemned "intolerable acts of racism and incivility" on UC Campuses Saturday, including UCSD.
"I am deeply troubled by the horrific incidents that recently took place on various campuses of the University of California system," he said.
He called the acts unacceptable and said he would join the University of California President, Chancellors and student leaders in condemning the incidents.
"There is no excuse for this kind of behavior in our system of higher education or anywhere else and it will not be tolerated," the Governor said.
UCSD students held a number of protests Friday -- including one inside the chancellor's office -- after the discovery of a noose at a campus library.
A noose was found hanging at the Geisel Library around 10 p.m. Thursday, according to campus police. Officers confirmed after noon Friday that one person was in custody in connection with the act which is considered a crime -- hanging a noose with intent to terrorize. The student contacted the UC San Diego police department and admitted to hanging the noose, according to an afternoon news release. Detectives have interviewed the student and taken a statement, campus police said.
"Anytime you hang a noose. That's a message. That's a death message. A noose is nothing but death. The students are very afraid and concerned about their safety here on campus," UCSD staffer Dierdre Vernon said.
The noose was found hanging on the west side of aisle 3, which faces the windows, according to a UCSD campus police report. The aisle is located in the southwest corner of the seventh floor of the library.
What appeared to be hundreds of students took part in the protest which began at 8 a.m. Friday on the library walk. Hundreds of people sat silently in a large group wearing black and listening to fellow students who said that they are tired and hurt after nearly two weeks of racially-charged events.
"When they see UCSD and when they see a noose hanging at UCSD well I say they got to see us too," one student said referring to the students upset over the noose discovery.
Another speaker at the protest, Vernon used a megaphone to tell students to stay strong. "What [the students] are trying to do is let people know they're not going to stand for racism," said Vernon. "The students are afraid and they need to know what the chancellor is going to do to keep them safe on the campus while they're here to learn."
Dozens of students began occupying the chancellor's office around noon as hundreds marched outside chanting slogans. The chancellor and staff left for lunch. There was no sign of campus police near the protestors as of 1 p.m.
Around 4 p.m. Friday, Chancellor Marye Ann Fox issued a video statement online, "It is deplorable that while our students, faculty and staff work to heal the campus, a few misguided individuals tried to divide it," she said in the statement.
The discovery of the noose follows several events that have resulted in marches, protests and an anti-racism campaign on campus. First, the notorious Compton Cookout -- held the weekend of Feb. 13-14, which invited participants to a ghetto themed party. Next, the N-word was used to describe critics of the Compton Cookout on student-run television, then the suspension of funding for 33 media groups funded by the Associated Students and just this week a teach-in held by the university disrupted by students demanding action by the chancellor on a list of demands which include increasing the number of African Americans in the university's faculty and student pools.
The university condemned the Compton Cookout and launched a Web site launched which outlines the "Battle Hate" campaign aiming to ensure that all students feel "safe, supported and respected."
"This is disgusting and unacceptable so we're uniting as a group to protest this," said Angelita Ochoa, a UCSD Sociology major.
"I was totally shocked they've totally taken this to a different level," she said. "Change needs to happen and it needs to happen quick."
One of the leaders of the UCSD Black Student Union told NBC San Diego that he's meeting with administrators to discuss the progress on the list of demands.
"I have personally met with students today and over the last several days, and we are making significant changes based on the Black Student Union's recommendations," Fox said in her video statement.
"I am extremely proud of our students and other members of our campus community who have strongly and respectfully expressed their outrage over these incidents. You have shown amazing strength and I am proud of the moral character that has been demonstrated through the rallies, forums and demands for change."
