"EXTREME MOVIE"

Pop culture Q&A: Having Trouble' finding song

Q: Can you tell me the name of the song on the commercial for Travelers Insurance. Something like "Trouble," where a cute dog is worried about his bone and can't rest til he gets it insured. I love that commercial and the dog.

A: The song is called "Trouble" and is performed by Ray LaMontagne. You can learn more about him at http://www.raylamontagne.com.

Q: I was in Sweden this summer and watched an episode of "Huff" with Hank Azaria and Blythe Danner. It was awesome! When I returned to the States I was able to locate the complete first season and am hooked. Unfortunately, the episode I saw in Sweden was not on the DVD. How many seasons were there? Can I buy them? How can it be I never heard of this show?

out on dvd

Every morning I log onto my computer, don my headphones and start up my iTunes so I can listen to my favorite morning radio show, "Fernando and Greg", streaming online out of San Francisco from www.energy927fm.com. During the past few weeks, amidst the conversations about the presidential election and Proposition 8, that would ban same-sex marriage in California, the buzz on air was all about "Milk." Last week, this long-anticipated film, which tells the story of the life of Harvey Milk, premiered in the Castro district of San Francisco. Harvey Milk was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California in 1977, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He was only the third openly gay elected official in the country. Eleven months into his position, Milk, a staunch supporter for LGBT visibility and equality, was assassinated alongside then San Francisco Mayor George Moscone. The film, which features Sean Penn in the leading role, is set to open in select markets on Nov.

"APPALOOSA"

Ease holiday stress: Shop around the calendar

Early morning Dec. 26, I will stumble into the cold, hair tangled, bathrobe askew and eyes half shut. I will drag in the heavy newspaper, and over a steaming cup of coffee, begin to attack the pages with scissors.

Out comes the "extra savings" coupon for the department store.

Snip goes that clearance notice for wool scarves and leather gloves.
