Straight Dope
One doesn't wish to make light of the situation. For most of us, failure of the Global Positioning System merely increases the likelihood we'll get lost in Pennsylvania. For the military and some emergency services, matters are more urgent. The satellites have limited life, typically seven to 10 years. There's no practical way to fix them once they break. Of the 59 GPS satellites launched to date, 31 are still operating. Of those 31, 17 are past their life expectancy -- the oldest was launched in 1990. So if I were planning a military incursion into yet another trackless third-world region, I'd have reason to think better of it.

Poet's Notebook
It's clear from Genesis that God was no vegetarian, at least back in those days, though I feel He was a bit mean about Cain's offering of fruits and veggies, thus setting off the world's original murder. After all, how was Cain to know God wouldn't like turnips? But Christianity has been consistently clear on this point. At our Lutheran house, we ate fish on Friday, ham on Easter, turkey on Christmas, with, in flush times, a nice "eye round" on Sundays, after church.

Do you know where your food comes from? How about who your food comes from? If fresh tomatoes are part of your diet, you'll probably have a chance to meet the folks who pull them off the vine. And if you're really on a health kick, you can march 25 miles alongside them this weekend, from downtown Tampa all the way to Lakeland.

Whether it's fair or not, when local environmentalists talk about who's greener, Tampa often comes up short in comparison with its neighbors. St. Petersburg, for instance, was named the state's first "green city" in 2007 by the Florida Green Building Coalition, who cited its preservation of open spaces, water conservation programs and more.

When Greg and Michelle Baker opened The Refinery a couple of months ago -- in the Seminole Heights spot formerly occupied by Bungalow Bistro -- it's like they designed the place to appeal to restaurant critics. A dedication to sourcing local ingredients? Check. A small menu that changes often? Check. Beer and wine options that are as flexible as the menu? Check. Reasonable prices? Check.

Movie Reviews
Like any good caped crusader, the two-fisted superhero satire Kick-Ass maintains a dual identity. Kick-Ass partly plays up the incongruity of wimpy social misfits donning dorky costumes to fight crime; imagine a Kevin Smith film with capes. But it's also a darkly comic, anarchic revenge picture, as if Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez tried to push their love of violent slapstick as far as the budget for stage blood would allow.

Film festival season keeps unspooling across the Bay area with St. Petersburg's Sunscreen Film Festival taking up residence at the Muvico BayWalk (and surrounding locales) starting Wed., April 14. Founded in 2005, Sunscreen has made a name for itself by splitting its focus almost evenly between film screenings and the types of educational classes that appeal mainly to those in the film industry. The festival was founded to "encourage the creation, production, and exhibition of independent film in Florida through its educational programs and public screenings, thereby increasing awareness and support of local filmmaking as a cultural and economic asset," and this year's offering promises to be no exception.

A Quinnipiac Poll released yesterday shows that a majority of Floridians (54%) do not support McCollum's high profile campaign to try to repeal at least parts of the new law by suggesting that it's unconstitutional by mandating that citizens have to buy insurance or be fined (40% do support it). That same poll also for the first time seemingly since she announced her candidacy last year, Alex Sink is formidable against McCollum, trailing him by just 4%, 40-36%.

Best known as “Goat Boy” on Saturday Night Live and his starring role in the 1998 cult-stoner Half Baked, film, television, and radio comedian Jim Breuer is proud to say that he’s (legally) grown his career beyond the realm of inebriates and farm animals. Breuer’s current stand-up tour, "Cheaper Than Therapy," at the Tampa Improv April 23rd, centers around his real-life experiences -- those of being a father to three little girls (“That’s a kid’s job once they start walking – just looking for death.”) and husband to a slightly larger one. Living in bumfuck New Jersey now, Breuer says inspiration also comes from the deer that poop all over his yard and his experience of caring for two elderly parents.

There's also some ignorance out there. As Bruce Bartlett wrote in Forbes recently, "for an anti-tax group, they don't know much about taxes." Although things are likely to change for high earners in the future, the fact of the matter is that in the Obama administration, most people have received tax cuts. The only tax increase that has come under his watch so far is the federal cigarette tax on a pack of cigarettes. However, the Tea Parties believe otherwise when asked that question, as 64% say incorrectly that they've gone up for the majority of Americans.

I wasn't always a 34DD. Men actually used to look at my face first when talking to me. I guess an average 34B isn't all that distracting, which could be part of the reason I decided to upgrade my chest size four years ago.

A collection of pictures and associated comments are of things that I have collected over the last year. Some of these come from the shelves of Publix, others are from my associated travels. All are what I affectionately call "marketing fails."

The Miami Poetry Collective has grown quickly since its inception, moving, on occasion, out of city ways and inside the walls of the Miami Art Museum, the Garden Lounge, the Vagabond, and the Epic Hotel, just to name a few. And this weekend, they’re leaving Miami for the very first time, to park their Smith Coronas at two of St. Pete’s finest fixtures: the Saturday Morning Market, and The Studio@620.
