Wild Grass
2011-03-30 05:27:00 Once in a great while, I walk out of a movie with a huge question mark over my entire face. These films force me to consider, "What the hell was that?" And most of the time, I really try to find at least one redeeming quality in a movie. However, in the case of Wild Grass, a film from France, told a disjointed and unbalanced story. Wild Grass basically begins with a simple lost and found dance. But the exchange to give the property back results in the mix-up of many characters, none who seem to have any real connection to anyone else.
We've Got Grass, People!
2011-03-22 17:44:00 Yes, it's official. I have grass showing in spots in my yard. You have no idea what that does to me. In fact, it's got me dreaming of summer and warmer times to come which goes just fine with these posts on beauty tips: How to cut bangs (I so needed this) Tips for the French pedicure And Caring for Your Heels (mine aren't quite that bad but I do need help) And finally, this video just cracks me up. I keep wondering how the whole thing came about and it must have been that one of the guys saw the ad in the NY Times advertising the exhibit and thought, "Hey, that looks just like Jeff!" and so great comedy was born. What cracks me up the most is the guy that stops them at the end--if he'd been smart he would have hired them right there on the spot. I can't think of a more brilliant publicity stunt than this. I would have gone to the museum that day just to see it all go down.© 2005-2011 Scribbit, LLC all rights reserved

Soldier Field to Remain Grass

Grass root lies and consensus comedy - Arlene Jones Commentary
2011-02-25 18:11:00 Grass root lies and consensus comedy Arlene Jones Congratulations to Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel. I don't have a problem congratulating him on his win, even though he wasn't my candidate of choice. The 2011 Chicago mayoral election should be required study for everyone. If you want to know why our young black people are so disenchanted with black leadership, all one has to do is review the lies, deceit, backstabbing and sell-outs that occurred within both the established black political community and the activist community. Most people who followed politics could read their tea leaves and know that losing the Olympics was the signal that it was time for Mayor Daley to go. The only one who initially planned to take...
Bad Realtor Photo: Giant Grass Head Emerging From Wall
2011-02-12 02:44:00 It's been about 30 minutes and I'm still laughing. I know I've got a winner when I'm furiously flipping through property photos and I run across something at 10 O'clock at night and I have to stop to post it. This bad realtor photo is bad on so many levels: It doesn't tell you anything about the room Typically dark and grainy Gotta love that crappy light prominently displayed at the top Totally focused on that thing...what the hell is it? And what happened to the ear? Did some grazing animal eat it? If I were negotiating the purchase of this place for a client you could be damn sure I'd be trying to get this head to convey with...

Wow: Jewel-Osco Parent Secretly Funded "Grass Roots" Opposition t
2010-06-08 03:22:00 Check out this Wall Street Journal story about how Jewel-Osco paid gazillions to fund a citizen's opposition to Wal-Mart in Mundelein. Holy Cats. Usually we think of Wal-Mart as the sneaky, calculating bad guys. They move in and force local companies out of business, bring down local wages, etc., right? But here is a story about other companies doing things so sneaky Wal-Mart almost looks saintly. Well. Finding out that Jewel-Osco did something this creepy doesn't make Wal-Mart de facto good. But wow, what a shock to find out that this has been going on all over America -- in fact the article describes a consulting firm that specializes in leading citizen opposition to projects, mainly Wal-Mart projects. Obviously, these...
$5 Coupon for Scotts Grass Seed
2010-04-06 18:09:00 I returned from spring break to find things growing all over my yard -- the strawberry plants survived the winter and are sprouting new leaves, many of the wildflowers we planted last year have returned, and the grass I planted last spring is really not looking too bad.

Something people often forget about when building their perfect wired home, is how it looks on the outside; why have a house full to the brim with technology and looking snazzy inside, to have it look like a dump outside? Make sure your lawn is neat, chuck down some grass seeds, plant some flowers, and make it look dead snazzy; you'll be the envy of your neighbours! .........

Menu changes at Prairie Grass Cafe
2009-11-17 01:23:00 I get a lot of questions at Prairie Grass Cafe in Northbrook about how we change the menu and how the whole thing works. We have a few basic principles that we use to determine the changes we make to the menu. One is that people come back to a restaurant because of "taste recognition". An example of that is every time I eat at Frontera Grill I order the tortilla soup. I really like the way it tastes and it's familiar and comforting. So there are items on my menu that just have to be there. People love the Crispy, Boneless, Half Chicken. They like that the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. I don't...

Grass Valley, California 24 July, 6.30 a.m.
2008-07-24 15:18:00 I had a quiet day yesterday. I took my hosts to lunch at a very good local Italian restaurant. One of the things I like about the U.S, and there are many, is the quality, quantity and price of eating out. It is just as well I do not live here as I would be even larger than my present considerable bulk. Also the standard of service in eating places and retail establishments is far higher than in the U.K.Another positive is that this is a far more friendly country, certainly to a visitor from England. In five visits here, only a few Irish Americans in Boston have been less than welcoming. The only unwelcoming places, and this applies to all who drive through them, are the Native American reservations.Positives far outweigh negatives in my estimation. My biggest gripe is sales tax. The visitor will not know how much money to get ready for a purchase as the price displayed is not inclusive of tax. My other mnor gripe is that life is tied to the cell phone. Mobile phones may be cordless...

2008-07-21 15:06:00 No-one was up quickly the day after the wedding. We all missed adult Sunday School at Grass Valley Covenant Reformed Church but we did make the 11 AM service. Most of us were rather sleepy though and the cinema style seats did not help one keep alert. It is a friendly congregation and lots of folks remembered our last visit there back in November. After lunch at the Roes and a siesta too we all were driven to Placerville and the new home of the Borens. Abigail is a Roe daughter. Click on the title for the photos. I did not get any photos of Steve's scrupmtious bison burgers from the barbeque though. Dennis's sister was our driver for the hour long drive in the most enormous Chelsea tractor I have experienced, It seats eight. The day before Dennis had driven me to and from the wedding in his Mazda sports car. I have now requested a drive with the top down.We are now in "winding down after the wedding" mode and have lots of wedding left overs to consume.

2008-07-19 07:48:00 Yesterday we men were sent out to lunch while the bridal party lunched here. I think there were at last a dozen of them. Five bridesmaids are here overnight but that is small beer. At the wedding rehearsal I counted nearly thirty people at the front. It was astonishing. Linda Young, a family friend was in charge of what came close to a litugical dance getting a minister, twenty assorted bridesmaids, matrons of honour, best men and ushers onto the stage as well as two flower girls and Jacob, the sweet little ring bearer (who is decorative not functional as he does not have the actual rings on his cushion). There was a small string group to provide the music. It took an hour and a half, I can only compare it to preparations for a royal visit in terms of the atention to detail.Afterwars the father of the groom treated around sixty us to a first class Italian restaurant dinner. I had thought rehearsal dinners were small family affairs. Not this one. Our host is a political consultant. ...

I was amused to see our hostess tip the leftovers from the plates, over the side of the veranda for the deer to eat our scraps, We saw a couple of hinds with fawns beofre dinner but I took these earlier.Note how well camoflaged they are, especially the fawn.I am typing this just after sunrise and the deer are here again. I am multi-tasking, listening to Test Match Special as I type, Headingley is being heard in California.Yesterday was more of the wedding preparations. Friends came in from Philadelphia. I am giving the mother of the bride the message from Dad's Army. "Don't panic, Captain Mainwaring.' The longer I am here the more I marvel at these wedding preparations. There are far more formalities to be sorted out than I expected, including printed biographies of all major participants. Last night the younger generation were off to hen and stag parties.

Days are shorted here being a more southerly latitude. There is an interesting dawn chorus heard after i woke at 5 am. It includes squirrels making strange noises and some animal I could not identify. I heard and saw deer in the woods below me but unfortunately my attempts to photograph them were not good. It is 69 F now. Yesterday reached 92 F here. The grass around is all brown as they have had two rainless months but at least the forest fires seem to have died down. Last week i am told there was much smoke in the air.The main activities of the day yesterday were wedding preparations.

My only complaint is the removal of all smoking areas from Heathrow. Dulles is better but that was eight hours away.I was given a bulkhead seat so plenty of room. I snoozed on and off and read Nick O'Farrell on the History of Britain, a fun read.Dulles was slow through immigration but I had time for a good chat with a Korean doctoral music student who is a conductor.

High Grass Violation
2008-06-03 15:22:00 Mow your lawn, or go to jail! That's what the city council is saying in Canton, Ohio (by my neck of the woods). The local Canton paper talks about it more, but below is the story from the Associated Press:Homeowners who don't mow their grass in this northeast Ohio city now face stiffer penalties ? including possible jail time. The city council unanimously passed a law Monday that makes a second high-grass violation a fourth-degree misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $250 and as many as 30 days in jail.The previous law only made the first violation a minor misdemeanor, with a fine of up to $150 but no jail time. The new law is to take effect in 30 days. "This is the type of action we need to take in order to clean up our neighborhoods and our city," Mayor William J. Healy II said.As all of you know, government has always been successful at legislating a change in behavior (yeah right). I'm hoping the people in Canton protest this by not mowing lawns for a month. That would be fun...
