Gwen: A beautiful but frustrated fair maiden who, as her blonde stereotype suggests, is quite clueless. She is adored by all but is in love only with Rodney. They sometimes date, but in his non-macho way he is usually too dense to return the romantic feelings she has for him. She often spends time commiserating with Blanch, or conversing with frogs who claim to be enchanted princes. On February 14, 2016, Rodney arranged with Cupid to give a "Love hit" on Gwen.

The film seems to have been made on a very small budget, which makes me wonder why they bothered at all. Fantasy needs to be done convincingly, or not at all. It was obviously shot in a remote mountain area, with little or no attempt to suggest a distinctive culture. The few buildings we see, such as the temple of the Talisman or Gedren's palace, are obviously cheap sets. We learn that Tarn's capital city has been destroyed by Gedren using the power of the Talisman, but we do not actually see this event; all we see is what might be a thunderstorm taking place on the other side of a hill. At first you wonder how Sonja intends to overthrow an entire kingdom with only a few allies, but when you see how small an army Gedren has at her disposal it becomes more understandable. When an earthquake threatens to destroy the palace, you wonder if this is the Talisman at work or merely a crew member inadvertently leaning against the set. If we can enjoy this film for nothing else, we can at least enjoy it for its inadvertent humour; a fine example of the so-bad-it's-funny school of filmmaking. Ed Wood would have been proud of this one. If it had been shown on Californian television the night before the recall election, Gray Davis would still be governor. 2/10.

I was very bemused by the NY Times lack of coverage of the Tax March on April 15. 20,000 of us passed within a (very) few blocks of the NYT's offices, yet there was no mention in the Sunday online NYT. A friend reminded me that the much bigger anti-invasion of Iraq march in 2003 was similarly ignored by the NYT. Does Trump own a chunk of NYT stock? Why this silence on a topic that is important to tax paying people nation wide?

Unfortunately the American people have elected a President who is mentally unstable and has a split personality. He is a danger to America and to world peace. It is time that NYT, CNN and other main stream media networks boycott him, his spokes persons and his Press secretary. Anyway, his election is an aberration and his dangerous views do not represent the majority of American people.

In 1973 I had my first shot of aquavit. No doubt is was Linie, the Norwegian one that crosses the Equator in sherry-soaked casks twice. It was fine. But in the years since I have enjoyed many kinds of regional Swedish aquavit, (including some that were home-made). They came and come—but not in the US—packaged as Svenska Nubbar (Swedish Shots) by Altia Corporation. In that assortment of mini-bottles was O.P. Anderson, which is or will be available here in 2018. My favorite, however, is Hallands Fläder, spiced with elderberry

States with Home Rule provide local municipalities with self-governance rights, which generally include zoning controls, so long as these don't violate Federal and State laws. It is easy to argue that "liberty for the lion is death for the lamb", but much debate depends on which side of the debate one lands. For example, combating blight as an externality that diminishes property values is well accepted in America, but the determination of what constitutes blight is a matter of interpretation.
