You don't
move to Mpls for the weather. Still, I like large aspects of the
climate here, and the weather in the past few days is to my liking:
Cool and sunny. That includes today, which will be filled with the
May Day Parade. Perhaps some pictures next week. But this week, not
so much. A quick review.
Earth
Earth is the
first film from Disneynature, which is an independent film
label building on the reputation and techniques made on the tv series
Planet Earth, The official description says Earth
"tells the remarkable story of three animal families and their
amazing journey across the planet we call home." This the stories
are part of the movie, don't let this fool you into thinking Disney
remade Incredible
Journey. The animals are in the wild, do not interact with
humans and are not any more anthropomorphic than real
animals.
We get to see a wide range of animals, from polar
bears, elephants and humpback whales (the three animal families
mentioned) to cheetahs, penguins and monkeys. All in the wild.
The photography is spectacular. They show some of the
techniques under the end credits, but don't worry about it. Just let
the movie wash over you. See it in a big theater, please. IMax
would be even better. The sound is all natural, except for the music
and the narration of James Earl Jones.
On the Shockwave Radio
Theater Scale of 9 to 23, with 23 being top, I give Earth
about a 21, and that will probably scale up the larger the screen one
views it on. Kids will love the movie. Anyone who loves nature
documentaries will love the movie. I'm a little of both. Highly
recommended.

Matthew Palevsky: "World's Top Economists Agree: The Global Recession Will Continue" (huffingtonpost.com)
"As you might have realized by now, we're in a difficult situation," said billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros to a sold-out crowd at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Thursday evening. Though Soros earned over $1 billion last year, eighteen months into a housing crisis and after over a year of decreasing GDP it's clear that the rest of the country is in dire need of economic salvation.
Roger Ebert: Review of "ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL" (3 stars; NO MPAA RATING)
This is the sound of optimism: "Everything on the tour went drastically wrong. But at least there was a tour for it to go wrong on." The optimist is Steve "Lips" Kudlow, lead guitarist in Anvil, a band you've never heard of. In 1973, he made a friend named Robb Reiner in Toronto, who had a drum set, and they vowed to make rock 'n' roll until they were old. Now they are old, at least for heavy metal rockers.

The 'First 100 Days - Pluses and Minuses' Edition...
Well, Poll-fans, President Obama, aka 'The Man', has reached the first 100 days of his administration. We might as well jump on the wagon with everyone who is evaluating his work and make an assessment of our own...
What are the Pluses and the Minuses of The Man's First Hundred days?
Guest Season at Tassajara started on Friday May 1st with the Gate Opening ceremony and a rainstorm. Both events helped clarify the harmony and havoc of our relationship with Mother Nature.
Having lived all Winter with the Monks while rebuilding the Pool Bath House and the Hillside Bird House, I saw first hand, the transformation of Tassajara's surrounding mountains from dark devastation to and explosion of color....Fire Poppies, Blue Lupin and green hills with new growth.
In my 40 years of coming here, I've never seen such stunning change.

From early on Hayakawa was groomed for a career as a naval officer. However at the age of 17, he took a schoolmate's dare to swim to the bottom of a lagoon (he grew up in a shellfish diving community) and ruptured his eardrum. He had been studying at the Naval Academy in Etajima but his record of perfect health was now shattered and he failed the navy's rigorous physical. His formerly proud father was now ashamed and embarrassed of his son. Their relationship became strained.
The strained relationship drove the young Hayakawa to attempt seppuku (ritual suicide). One quiet night after dinner Hayakawa entered a garden shed on his parents' property, locked his favorite dog outside and spread a white sheet on the ground. To uphold his family's samurai tradition, Hayakawa stabbed himself in the abdomen more than 30 times The dog's barking alerted Hayakawa's family and his father smashed through the shed door with an axe in time to save his son.

TTFS (from a really rainy day in N Jersey),
PS: In the 1970, a huge, and REALLY tacky Mexican Restaurant was opened right outside of Denver, CO. From a few months in the advance of the event, and for months thereafter, local TV was covered by ads featuring Ricardo Montalbán standing underneath the indoor WATERFALL, and surrounded by one of several loud, Mariachi Musicians - dressed in costume and playing guitars in a style typical of the Mexican State of Jalisco - while telling us: "Whenever I am in Colorado, I take my family and friends to this Paradise, the, 'Casa Bonita' Restaurant. Then the ad pans the camera to Montalbán and his friends and family having a wonderful time eating fantastic Mexican food (experts agree the food is mediocre at best), watching a puppet show or, "thrilling" to a "real" gunfight...
Of course my own children LOVED that place - but know what? Neither we nor anyone we knew, EVER saw the Montalbán's eating there... It's a big joke in Colorado...

A Sessue Hayakawa, who at 17 ruptured an eardrum and thus forced him to withdraw form the Japanese Naval Academy, caused a strained relationship between him and his father. Hayakawa attempted seppuku, but was stopped by his father.
Who was the first Hispanic actor to appear on the front cover of Life magazine?
D Ricardo Montalbán, on the November 21, 1949. as Hollywood's new romantic star, with the movie 'Neptune's Daughter' as, a South American polo player, making advances to Esther Williams by crooning 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'.

Jack Ely, the singer whose 1963 version of "Louie Louie" still makes the rounds on oldies radio, lives with his wife in a mobile home on a horse ranch in Oregon. Ely says they share $30,000 a year from her teacher's pension and his Social Security checks. They are paying down a mortgage.
So sometimes it bothers Ely, 65, when he hears his voice singing "Louie Louie" on the radio or in sports arenas, knowing he's not getting paid.
Since the advent of radio in the 1920s, songwriters have made a little money every time their tunes are played on stations in most industrialized countries. The six children of "Louie Louie" songwriter Richard Berry today share more than $100,000 in royalties every year. But performers like Ely don't get a dime.
A bill moving through Congress aims to change that. It would let performers and the recording labels get a share of the ad revenue that radio stations collect from playing their songs. This pool of royalties could be hundreds of millions a year - which would be crucial for the record industry, as compact disc sales plummet and digital song sales aren't making up the difference.

Director Ron Howard claimed Sunday that the Vatican interfered with efforts to get permits to shoot certain scenes of his "Angels & Demons" religious thriller in Rome - a charge the Vatican said was purely a publicity stunt.
The film, which stars Tom Hanks and is based on the best-selling novel by Dan Brown, has its world premiere Monday in Rome.
At a press conference Sunday, Howard said he hadn't sought cooperation from the Vatican based on the opposition he encountered filming "The Da Vinci Code," another Brown novel that angered many Catholic leaders.
But he said the Vatican nevertheless exerted influence regarding his filming permits, and he was told it would not be possible even to shoot scenes in Rome that had churches in the background.
Candidates for "the best job in the world" arrived at Hamilton Island on Australia's Great Barrier Reef Sunday, each hoping to become temporary caretaker of the tropical paradise.
The 16 contenders were selected from more than 34,000 applications in a global publicity campaign that organisers described as wildly successful, snaring an estimated 100 million dollars (70 million US) in free publicity.
Tourism Queensland's shortlist features candidates from 15 countries, including Korean journalist Juweon Kim, Japanese receptionist Mieko Kobayashi, manager Yi Yao from China, sports teacher Greg Reynen from Singapore and Indian DJ Anjaan RJ.
The hopefuls will be vying to become caretaker of Hamilton Island, receiving 150,000 Australian dollars (about 100,000 US) for six months' work in the tourist paradise.

A New York woman was charged on Wednesday with stealing as much as $12 million (8.1 million pounds) in gold bullion and jewellery over a period of six years, lifting the ill-gotten booty from her employer by concealing the stash in the lining of her pocketbook.
The district attorney for New York City's borough of Queens said Teresa Tambunting, 50, was arraigned on Wednesday on charges of first-degree grand larceny and first-degree criminal possession of stolen property from Jacmel Jewelry.
"The defendant is accused of establishing a virtual mining operation ... which siphoned off millions of dollars worth of the precious metal from her employer," Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said in a statement.
After an investigation was initiated, Tambunting returned to Jacmel a suitcase containing 66 pounds (30 kg) of gold. On February 13, an additional 448 pounds (204 kg) of gold was recovered from Tambunting's residence, the DA said.

Wolves in parts of the Northern Rockies and the Great Lakes region come off the endangered species list on Monday, opening them to public hunts in some states for the first time in decades.
Federal officials say the population of gray wolves in those areas has recovered and is large enough to survive on its own. The animals were listed as endangered in 1974, after they had been wiped out across the lower 48 states by hunting and government-sponsored poisoning.
"We've exceeded our recovery goals for nine consecutive years, and we fully expect those trends will continue," said Seth Willey, regional recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Denver.
With the delisting, state wildlife agencies will have full control over the animals. States such as Idaho and Montana plan to resume hunting the animals this fall, but no hunting has been proposed in the Great Lakes region.
Standup comic Robert Schimmel has been arrested on suspicion of beating his wife.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Jay Royal says the 59-year-old comedian was taken into custody early Saturday after an alleged fight at his home in Calabasas.
Schimmel was booked in the county jail for investigation of spousal assault. He was later released on $50,000 bail.
The comedian has been a frequent guest on Conan O'Brien's TV show and on Howard Stern's radio program. His 2008 memoir "Cancer on $5 a Day" chronicles his battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

The slumping economy has forced some student pilots to put their dreams of flying on hold, threatened to accelerate the decline of the U.S. pilot population, and put a financial chokehold on flight schools.
The number of U.S. pilots has fallen more than 25 percent from a 1980 peak of about 827,000 to about 590,000 at the end of 2008, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
While there are no more recent figures, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association is seeing some anecdotal evidence that the economy is taking a toll, said Chris Dancy, spokesman for the Frederick, Md.-based organization.
"Flight training is done with disposable income," Dancy said. "It is very common in economic down times for flight training to fall off."
The ice on Alaska's Tanana River has broken apart and now two lucky winners who guessed the timing of that much-awaited annual event will split a jackpot of nearly $284,000.
Claudia Russell, a Juneau resident, and Stephen Gregory, of Galena, were the only ones to pick the exact time of the ice breakup.
A huge wooden tripod is set up on the river ice and wired to a clock in a watchtower on shore. The winning time is determined when the ice moves enough to tighten the wire and trip the clock. Forness said a 71-degree high in Nenana last Monday raised the chances that the ice breakup was in the offing.
The Ice Classic was launched in 1917 by Alaska Railroad workers trying to pass the long northern winter while waiting for spring breakup. Now thousands of Alaskans - and even some outside the state - participate in the classic.
