Presentation to the Legislative Council Special Committee on Sexually Violent Person Commitments "Assessing Risk for Sexual Recidivism and Treatment Progress" Presenters: Steve Watters, SRSTC Director Dennis Doren, Ph.D., SRSTC Evaluation Director Lloyd Sinclaire, LCSW, SRSTC Associate Treatment Director Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center Department of Health and Family Services November 16, 2004 1 Overview Of Presentation 1. General philosophy of Chapter 980 program on the issue of assessment/evaluation. 2. Risk assessment for court reports. 3. Assessing and reporting on treatment progress. 2 Philosophy of the Chapter 980 Program Relative to Assessment and Evaluation 1. Recognition that assessment/evaluation are critical components of the program, and this work is taken very seriously. • Evaluations play a key role in commitment and release decisions. • Assessments play an ongoing role in the treatment program. • Dealing with very difficult issues. 3 2. Committed to the use of the best tools and techniques available. • Rapidly expanding and advancing field of research. • Chapter 980 evaluations/assessments are real world applications of what is often the latest research. • The program will continue to incorporate the best approaches into our efforts to assess/evaluate patients. 4 3. Recognition that the role of DHFS in the system is to provide an objective, professional assessment/evaluation of the patient. • DHFS provides/establishes a process or environment that facilitates the work of professionals charged with responsibilities under the law. • DHFS does not "form" and present a professional opinion to the court. • Ultimately, the professional opinion of experts play a key role in court decisions under Chapter 980. 5 4. Committed to the concept that DHFS is responsible for attempting to ensure that the courts have the best available information to guide their actions. • In some cases, DHFS may present opinions/perspectives that are not consistent. •Court is the final decision-maker. 6 Chapter 980: The Evaluation Process Dennis M. Doren, Ph.D. Evaluation Director Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center 7 Outline Concerning The Evaluation Process • Statutory evaluation/testimony requirements • The evaluation process for "mental disorder" and recidivism risk • Description of the evaluators' experience • Potential concerns from the evaluators' perspective 8 Statutory Evaluation Requirements for DHFS • Post-probable cause assessment [980.04] • "Annual" re-examinations [980.07(1)] • When Court ordered [980.07(3), 980.08, & 980.09] 9 Testimony Requirements • Virtually every 980.04 evaluation • Virtually all Court-ordered re-examinations • In contrast: Vast majority of 980.07(1) re- examinations do not immediately result in testimony, but growing number some months later 10 Evaluating for the "Mental Disorder" • Standard diagnostic process • Concept involving "predisposes" the person to commit a sexually violent act quite regularly narrows to disorders of (1) sexual arousal and/or (2) personality • "Mental disorder" not typically where the main argument made at trial, and virtually never the main re-examination hearing topic 11 Assessing Recidivism Risk • Typically start with actuarial instruments • "Standard" set across the 17 states with sex offender civil commitment laws • Wisconsin evaluators both set the trend and are in keeping with the national trend • Reason for use: most empirical support for risk assessment accuracy 12 The Rapid Risk Assessment for Sex Offender Recidivism (RRASOR) • Item 1: Prior sex offense charges/ convictions [= 0, 1, 2, or 3 points] • Item 2: Reached 25th birthday at assessment [yes = 0, no = 1] • Item 3: Any sex offense against a male [yes = 1, no = 0] • Item 4: Any extrafamilial victim [yes = 1, no = 0] 13 RRASOR Score Interpretations • Score 5-yr recon. 10-yr recon. • 0 4.4% 6.5% • 1 7.6% 11.2% • 2 14.2% 21.1% • 3 24.8% 36.9% • 4 32.7% 48.6% • 5 49.8% 73.1% • 6 [no data for this score] 14 Illustrative case • Male, born 6/14/60 • Convicted 1981 on 2 counts of S.A. (same victim), got prison time, suspended, probation for both; unrelated neighbor boy • Charged for S.A. (1 ct.) in 1983 while on probation, charge dismissed in lieu of probation revocation and imprisonment • Convicted of S.A. in 1995, been in prison since, until now... 15 Illustrative Case - RRASOR assessment • Priors = 2 convictions, 3 charges = score of 2 on this item • Age > 24.99; = score of 0 • Male victim = yes, score of 1 • Extrafamilial victim = yes, score of 1 • Total score = 2 + 0 + 1 + 1 = 4 • About 49% reconviction likelihood in 10 years (give or take, like a Gallop poll result) 16 Other Typical Risk Assessment Considerations • Psychopathy and deviant sexual arousal • Treatment benefit • Age • Mandated community supervision (time both relative to expected life span, absolute) • Statement of intent to re-offend 17 Risk Management Considerations (mostly for re-examinations) • Elopement likelihood • Expected supervisory compliance • Self-management issues such as impulsivity • Intensity of sexual deviance • Treatment continuity, availability • Substance abuse history • Access to victim-type • Type and degree of social support system • Medical issues 18 Evaluation Recommendations • Recommendation for/against commitment • Re-examination recommendations (1) remaining at secure facility (2) consideration of supervised release (3) consideration of discharge • Petition "with Secretary's approval": yet to occur 19 Evaluators' Experience of (Re)examination Process • Strong responsibility felt for "high cost" • Take the statutory language to heart • Most highly adversarial court cases for psychologists • Attorneys on both sides specialize, causing high intensity relative to research findings • Evaluators spend a good deal of time countering "experts" with faulty info 20 Potential Concerns • 45-day time limit between p.c. & trial • Rights inclusive of competency to proceed to commitment trial • 6-month re-examination only serves to "second guess" or reiterate earlier findings • Lack of room for stipulation "plea bargain", such as for outpatient commitment • Different bases for opinions between treatment and evaluation staff 21 Assessing Patients' Progress in Treatment and Reporting to the Courts Lloyd G. Sinclair, LCSW Associate Treatment Director Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center November 16, 2004 22 Relevant Chapter 980 Law Revisions, Effective April 2004 • The State must prove by clear and convincing evidence one of the following: – That it is still likely that the person will engage in acts of sexual violence if the person is not continued in institutional care – That the person has not demonstrated significant progress in his or her treatment or the person has refused treatment 23 Significant Progress in Treatment Definition • Engagement in treatment specifically designed to reduce sexual re-offense risk • Patient must demonstrate that progress has been made through all of the following: 24 • Meaningful participation in the Chapter 980 treatment program • Sufficient treatment participation to allow individual treatment needs to be identified • Willingness to work diligently on addressing treatment needs • Understanding of thoughts, attitudes, emotions, behaviors and sexual arousal linked to his/her sex offending, and identify when these occur • Sufficiently sustained change in these thoughts, attitudes, emotions, behaviors and management of arousal, such that it is reasonable to assume change can be maintained and continued through treatment in the community 25 Treatment Progress Reports • Since January 2004, Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center treatment teams have submitted Treatment Progress Reports to Courts in conjunction with the Periodic Re- Examinations • Treatment Progress Reports apprise the court of patients' treatment involvement and progress, if any 26 Treatment Progress Reports • Directly address legal requirement of treatment refusal/significant progress in treatment for supervised release • Indirectly address recidivism risk as it may be affected by patients' refusals of or meaningful involvement/progress in treatment 27 Treatment Progress Reports • Focus treatment team's clinical decision- making • Communicate treatment team's appraisal • Formally apprise patient of treatment progress and remaining needs 28 Effect of Treatment on Re-Offense Risk • Comprehensive sex offender treatment reduces sexual recidivism (but does not eliminate it) • Patients who begin but drop out of treatment, or are removed for poor participation (and therefore would likely not be viewed as having made significant progress in treatment), do not have lower recidivism rates 29 Four Treatment Targets • Deviant Sexual Interests – sexual preoccupation – child preference – rape-coercion preference – sadistic interest – offense-related fetish 30 • Distorted Attitudes – rape minimization – women deserving rape – women as deceitful – adversarial sexual attitudes – sexual entitlement – child abuse supportive beliefs – hostile/minimizing toward specific victim group 31 • Socio-Affective Functioning – inadequacy (poor me, victim stancing) – distorted intimacy balance – aggressive/grievance thinking (easily sees self as wronged, will be wronged again, ruminates on past grievances) – callous/shallow emotions (unemotional/shallow brief emotions like flash of rage) – lack of emotionally intimate relationships 32 • Self Management – lifestyle impulsiveness (irresponsible decision- making) – poor cognitive problem-solving (difficulty generating alternative strategies to resolve problems) – poor impulse control 33 Assessment of Treatment Progress • Multiple methods, based on assumption that patient's self-report is least accurate – observation of patient in treatment sessions, especially self-awareness and skills acquisition – patient's homework – observation of patient outside treatment sessions by all staff members – penile plethysmograph – polygraph 34 Progress in Treatment • Lengthy process • Multiple challenges – full, detailed disclosures – self-awareness – physiologic examinations – 24/7 scrutiny – challenging environment – achievement must be demonstrated in all domains over considerable time period 35

Great location. Easy access to Times Square restaurants and subway. My

arrived the bill was higher than we had anticipated. The front desk

The staff are all so nice! When u are a guest at the Mave u are treated like royalty. Even my dog was treated like a princess! Plus the rooms are beautiful, modern & very clean. The beds are so comfy! If u need something all u have to do is call the front desk & no sooner do u hang up the phone are they at your door with whatever u need. Amazing service! Excellent location! I would stay at the Mave every time I need to stay in Manhattan. - Anonymous
The apartment was very nice. It was appropriately size and there was a lot of room. It also came fully equipped. Check in was also very straight forward. The apartment is also located in a very nice area. It was a couple of blocks from time square where I spent most of my time. - Anonymous
The hotel was remarkably clean, the shower was strong, the bed was good, the personell friendly. And those happen to be the most important attributes ;)
The 'cabine' was bigger than we expected. There was enough room to walk around and even to leave your luggage open. This is necessary as there was no cabinet to put your clothes etc.

I've read that this can happen and I actually prefer the hops spread. How do I encourage these roots to throw out bines? I planted my hops in huge pots because my yards is like a swamp in the spring. Pictured root is growing out of the bottom of a 2 foot tall pot and is as thick as my thumb.
Roots can't grow new plants because they have no vegetative buds. They're just roots, they take nutrition from the Earth and help feed the crown. Rhizomes can grow new plants because they have buds. That's their purpose. I'd suggest taking the plant out of the pot and sticking it in the ground. The rhizomes will spread like you want. They'll grow anywhere so don't worry about the swamp. Alternative would be to lay the pot on it's side and allow some of the rhizomes to creep out and take root. They'll do it, believe me. Hop on!
Thanks for the reply. Laying the pot on it's side is a great idea....of course to do this I would have to sever the roots coming out of the bottom of the pot but that shouldn't do any permanent damage. By laying the pot on it's side I'll also have the rhizome above soil level to keep it a little dryer in the swamp I assumed the large root would eventually throw off some rhizomes....or does the starting rhizome only get bigger and pieces need to be cut off for new plants? I am picturing this to be similar to a potato or am I way off?
Hmm, potato is a tuber, probably should have looked into it a bit more before my last post.
Essentially, after one growing season, the rhizome can be called a crown. The crown will have both true roots (which do what they do and pretty much grow downward), and also have a bunch of buds. The buds will be located above the true roots and as they grow outward and away from the crown, at a certain point will decide to seek sunlight. Once they break the soil they'll become the shoots that will climb and produce our crop. The portion that grew out from the crown but is still in the ground will turn into a rhizome which will contain the buds and may also have developed some roots. This what we harvest every Spring to make cuttings to start new plants with. Hope you can make some sense of this. Now that class is over we can enjoy another beer!

Staff was very warm and friendly. I loved have the hot soup in the evenings!!
Lots of restaurants in the area to chose from if the soup was not enough one evening.
Breakfast bar was also very good (typical for Hampton Inn). I did like the waffles (something I don't seem to see at every Hampton inn).
Mentioned that the sidewalk was a bit icy as I walked into the lobby and someone was outside fixing the problem w/in 2minutes (great service)

Are we talking in terms of abilities or pure physical strength?
If we mean physical strength, then we have to go with Might Guy. Of all the Konoha jounin he is by far the strongest, and has the ability to open his chakra gates.
If we mean abilities, then obviously Kakashi and his copycat Sharingan eye......that and the Raikiri, can;t forget that.

This product should be nowhere near the $400 price mark It arrived cracked, smaller than the listed dimensions, and utterly disappointing. I bought this product to go with my new low profile white leather couch. I must admit the style is perfect, if you like ultra-modern clean lines. However, this product is puny and EXTREMELY DELICATE! The coating is as thin as an egg shell, and even more brittle. The table came out of the very well packed box already damaged. Long cracks ride all the way down the ridges on both sides, while the bottom is bare and unpainted. If you happen to touch or rub against this table with anything firmer than a pillow, another crack or dent will appear immediately. Thankfully, Overstock's customer service refunded me immediately without any problems. UPS was supposed to pick the item up within a week, but never did. I am currently using this piece of junk as spare shelving in my bedroom closet. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
The paint chipped off - big piece, yet the paint chip was not in the box, despite there being other production debris in the packaging. I feel that this item was shipped damaged.

Looking for Person Who did Plant Swaps in Knox
Hello: I am trying to find the woman who managed the Knoxville plant swaps back in 2006 or7. She lived in the Knoxville area and was really into gardening, Red Hats, and posted on the City Data forum as Knoxgarden. Would like to know if anyone knows what happened to her or how she is doing? Thank you ~
There were four of us (at least by 2007) coordinating the ETPS (at one time, sometimes called the Knoxville Plant Swap), around that time. I'm pretty sure you are referring to Laura. Unfortunately, she has passed away and is greatly missed. If you need more info, especially about the ETPS, please feel free to email me through GardenWeb or ask here.

Intro to this New Collaborative Story Thread from a New Member
Hello Everyone. You all can just call me Cleo for short on here. I joined this site cause I have missed collaborative writing in the sci-fi and fantasy genre's and I was wanting a place to be able to do it again.
As far as how I'm expecting this story to go, I actually don't have any guidelines or requests per say. Just basic already established rules for this site, and other basic things like don't kill my character[s] or anyone else unless they are okay with it and stuff like that.
Though I've participated in collaborative stories, I've never actually been the one to start one on a thread anywhere before. With that being said, if there is some written or unwritten rule or something that I unintentionally break, I apologize and please correct it knowing it was unintentional.
Back to the idea of this new story I'm about to start, its fairly simple really. I'm going to write the first post/excerpt, the beginning one, and anyone and everyone is welcome to join in to the story with a character[s] of their own, and have them interact with what's going on with my character or someone else's character. Equally, as long as somehow it is going to connect with the already written plot eventually, people can feel free to write an excerpt/post that takes place somewhere else in the world but doesn't, at that time, interact with someone else's character. Think of this thread as an open roleplaying world or universe where you introduce your character[s] and have them get involved in the overall developing story.
Also, be prepared to be flexible, since anyone joining might have their character interact with yours and change the layout of your character's situation.
Interwoven plots involving your own character that eventually tie in with other people's plots are welcome, in other words. I personally don't have a specific overall idea for my own character's course through a plotline. I am planning on seeing how others write their characters into the story, and let my imagination take it from there.
And I apologize if I am confusing with this. Like I said, I have joined in on other already established collaborative stories, but never had to start one myself and explain the guidelines before.
If you have a question about this collab story thread, just send me a message or somehow communicate with me about the question. Otherwise, just be nice and have fun and enjoy writing. That's really all I have in mind. I am looking forward to the challenge of writing with new people whose ideas I won't know until I see their words on the thread!
So after this intro post, I will post my first story post/excerpt, and anyone can take it from there! Thanks!

Tiempa, the Woman of Many Places & No Identity
The young woman woke up, yet again, in a totally strange place, this time it was a very dark room. Other times it had been open fields of wild flowers, near foresty paths, on tree filled hillsides, farmlands, busy back streets of big cities, sometimes beaches, two times it was on ships out in the ocean, once it was on a bridge overlooking a river. It was always different each time.
She had never remembered her life, or anything about her identity, before these endless transportations. As for the transportations themselves, they happened at unpredictable times after sleeping soundly. One day she'd just wake up after sleeping and find herself in the new place.
After around 150 of them, she had come to a few realizations. First of all, she never seemed to age, which was easy to see since sometimes she stayed in a setting for several years, and yet as the years went by and the transportations went by, she always stayed in her early twenties. Secondly, she always seemed to be around at the right time to help with something very important happening nearby, and was able to directly impact the way in which the developing important situation transpired. Thirdly, she was always able to shapeshift into any living animal in between the shapes of a mouse to a horse. If it was bigger or smaller than that, she couldnt change into it, but in between those sizes she could transform into it to achieve her goals and wishes.
Since she didn't know her name or past before these transportations, she called herself Tiempa. She was of average height, very well toned and athletic, had thigh length wavy black hair, usually tied back in a braid, a delicate face with high cheek bones, and emerald green eyes that could see very well in the dark like a cat. She could also hear as well as a cat, and smell as well as a dog. She was very knowledgeable with technology, and was always able to speak the language[s] of wherever she was at with no trouble. Though she never knew what the culture or history or current events were in the setting she wound up in, she had a quick wit and intellect, and vast stores of knowledge from her other settings, and all of those helped her to pick up on things fast.
She had also realized that all of the settings she found herself on were somehow interconnected with each other. She would occasionally see a familiar face here and there in passing from one setting to the next. Sometimes the news or the conversations of random citizens would refer to a past setting she had been at. Since she always remembered her past settings, she easily took note of the references and cataloged them in her mind.
Lastly, she had a superhuman, computer-like memory, that seemingly had no limit. She remembered virtually every detail of every experience she had in every location the way a sophisticated android would. She had no idea why she had such a great memory. But she fervently hoped that eventually the purpose and reason for all her transportations would reveal itself in her great memory of experiences, and that if she satisfied whatever that purpose was, she could eventually learn who she was, and go back to whatever more peaceful life it was she had enjoyed.
So, in yet another new setting whose landscape was so far only a dark room, she looked around. The room must have absolutely no light filtering in from anywhere, because even her catlike eyes could see nothing, make out nothing, within it. Carefully she stood up from her lying down position, and reached out with all her senses, and still, could detect nothing.
A soundproof, light-less room then? Or just a building in the middle of nowhere, that had such light sounds from outside of it that they couldn't be detected inside the room no matter how good her senses were? Or was some sort of sorcery or technology blocking her senses in this room? Many of her settings were filled with sorcery, others with high technology.
She frustratedly realized that she was not going to be able to discover a single thing at all about her new setting without moving, which was a totally new development for her, and one that made her very uneasy.

Review: Big Eyes
Twenty years after his only other biopic (Ed Wood), director Tim Burton returns to the genre with the movie Big Eyes. Co-writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (who also wrote Ed Wood) combine elements of the fantastical with the all-too-real story of a man taking credit for a woman's work. Amy Adams (American Hustle, The Muppets) stars as Margaret Keane, whose paintings of haunted-looking children were all the rage in 1960s America ... but her husband Walter (Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained) passed them off as his own.
Burton tells Keane's story using a bright palette, giving a smooth look to his 1960s San Francisco setting, growing even bolder in color when the setting moves to Hawaii. There's a blithe feeling to Big Eyes, even as the movie tackles serious issues of the male-dominated mid-century canon of modern art and this female artist's loss of power in the face of her smooth operator/con artist husband. Adams as Margaret speaks with a soft Southern cadence opposite a strident Waltz, whose own bizarro accent here signals that he can't decide which part of the States his character is supposed to be from.
Review: Into The Woods
Fairy tales may appeal to young and old alike, but before the contemporary sanitized versions many of these stories, deeply rooted in centuries old folklore, were quite grim and complex with both obvious and not-so-obvious meaning.
In the 1976 book Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales, psychologist Bruno Bettelheim analyzed the symbolic motifs and emotional importance of fairy tales, including those collected and published by the Brothers Grimm. He opined that the darkness and brutality of abandonment and death gave children the ability to process their fears and learn from the moral of each story.
The film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim 1987 musical Into the Woods weaves several favorite tales into one complex story for adults with many of our favorite characters. The base story created for this production is that of "The Baker and his Wife," a barren couple (James Corden and Emily Blunt) who desperately want to have a child.
Movies This Week: December 25-January 1, 2015
Six new releases are now vying for attention in the marketplace for Christmas. It was down to five, but now that Sony has authorized a last-minute limited release for The Interview, area theaters are absolutely packed with options. In terms of holiday titles, quite a few specialty screenings that were scheduled for Alamo Drafthouse Ritz have been scrapped because they added The Interview to Theater 1, but you can catch free daily Kid's Club screenings of Muppet Christmas Carol at the Alamo Slaughter Lane, Ernest Saves Christmas at South Lamar and Arthur Christmas (2D) at Alamo Lakeline each morning through New Year's Eve.
Aside from that, there aren't many rep screenings happening until the new year. The Ritz will still be offering Monday night's "Homo Arigato!" screening of Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell, an award-winning 2008 documentary about the queer musician and are hosting their annual New Year's Eve feast for The Apartment in 35mm if you're willing to brave 6th Street.
Movies We've Seen
Big Eyes - Even at his worst, Tim Burton's films usually have a great visual flair and interesting characters. For this true story, he teamed up again with the screenwriters from Ed Wood to tell the story of Margaret Keane (Amy Adams), an artist from the Sixties whose paintings were claimed by her husband Walter (Christoph Waltz) as his own. Elizabeth says "Burton's strong fascination and dedication to the artist's work is obvious, making Big Eyes one of his most deeply-felt films in years." Look for her review on Friday. (wide)
Review: The Imitation Game
Although working at this year's Austin Film Festival had many great perks, one of the not-so-great parts was missing out on some of the highly-anticipated marquee films. This is why I jumped at the chance to see The Imitation Game, though I now see that maybe I didn't need to jump so quickly.
It's clear that Benedict Cumberbatch (famously known for his role on Sherlock) carries this film -- not just because the story focuses on his role as Alan Turing, but because his performance stands out amongst all of his famous castmates, including Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode and Charles Dance.
That said, it seems that Cumberbatch's snarky demeanor as Sherlock Holmes is what got him cast in this role. The Imitation Game seems a fitting title because his performance is not unlike the role he's portrayed for the last three seasons on Sherlock. If you're unfamiliar with the show, then perhaps you will not notice this similarity; being a big fan myself, it stood out almost instantly. In fact, most of the cast seemed to be cookie-cutter replicas of characters they have played before: stale, expired and certainly not fresh.
The story is strong, yet it doesn't know which theme it relies on. Focusing on Turing's famous crack of the Enigma coding machine during WWII, the film stays on course -- until it takes a few pit stops to reflect on Turing's struggle with homosexuality. Although it's a powerful performance, I felt confused on what emotion to resonate with throughout. It seems as if the filmmakers were taking on some sort of studio note to try and make Turing more sympathetic. Although it does achieve this, it feels forced.
It surprises me that The Imitation Game is making its debut on Christmas Day. Perhaps a marketing team felt that Cumberbatch and Knightly would draw in ticket sales, but the film itself doesn't have that grandiose feel most holiday releases have. It does seem that this role will probably draw some Oscar buzz for Cumberbatch -- it already seems to have drawn an 8.4 rating out of a scale of 10 on IMDb. Maybe I'm just a holiday release Scrooge; maybe a box-office Christmas miracle will happen after all.
Review: The Interview
The great The Interview saga of 2014 has reached its apex. After the film was publicized, parent studio Sony Pictures found itself victim to the largest, most destructive and costly computer hacking operation in history. Emails, personal information of employees including social security numbers, and untold other secrets were not only stolen, but partially released by the culprits with a threat to do more damage if the movie was released. Last week, Sony caved to the major theater chains and cancelled the release, spawning innumerable conversations about free speech in the digital age.
And just before that, I got to see it along with 200-ish other attendees at Butt-numb-a-thon, the annual birthday party for AICN founder Harry Knowles where vintage films are celebrated alongside big Hollywood premieres and sneak peeks. The Interview played fifth in the lineup of 12 films, immediately after Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice. Directors Evan Goldberg (This is the End) and Seth Rogen apologized during their introduction, saying they didn't expect to follow a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. In fact, the madcap hilarity was the perfect pick-me-up following the dark and low-key Inherent Vice as we approached the halfway mark of 24 hours of movie watching.
The Interview asks a question many have probably pondered: When a journalist is given an opportunity to interview one of the most hated dictators on the planet, wouldn't the U.S. government become involved to attempt an assassination? And would the journalist want to go through with it? Of course, if you've seen the previous work of those involved in this comedy, you know what to expect. Rogen and costar James Franco are this century's version of The Three Stooges, minus Moe (or perhaps replacing Moe with "Mo," the near-homosexual bro-fessional screen relationship they have together).
In the midst of their antics, I realized The Interview, like many great comedies, doesn't just lampoon its subject. It paints Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un as a caricature, a spoiled man-child twisted by his father into a creature that loves American culture but responds to criticism with extreme force and explosions of rage. But, it also pokes fun at the U.S. government, the traditional news media, and the American public's gluttonous fascination with info-tainment.
Review: Unbroken
Earlier this year, Louie Zamperini died at the age of 97. He was the son of Italian immigrants, born in 1917 in New York state. His family relocated to Torrance, California where he was on the verge of becoming a hooligan until his older brother Pete got him involved with the school track team. By the time he was 19, he had qualified for the 1936 Berlin Olympics in the 5000-meter race.
An entire feature-length film could probably be made just about his career as a runner, but the full scope of the man's endurance is told here in Angelina Jolie's second directorial effort. Unbroken really feels like three movies in one, weaving in the story of Zamperini's Olympic success, his time in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II and his eventual struggles as a prisoner of war in a Japanese camp. In the film, British actor Jack O'Connell (Starred Up) gives an emotionally raw and physically demanding career-making performance as Zamperini.
Joel and Ethan Coen adapated Laura Hillenbrand's 2010 book (with screenplay assistance from Richard LaGravenese and William Nicholson) and I think that the first half of the film truly shines as it shifts through time from Zamperini's childhood to the plane crash in 1943 over the Pacific Ocean that found him and two other fellow soldiers (Finn Wittrock, Noah and Domhnall Gleeson, About Time) stuck in a life boat for 47 days.
There is an intensity to the film's air combat sequences that really make you feel as though you're in the plane with these young men, despite the fact that the quality on some of the effects is limited. As the story unfolds, it truly makes you wonder how anybody could stay so strong for so long. Zamperini never gave up hope, no matter what happened to him, that he would survive. It was difficult inititally for me during the scenes where the men where stranded in the Pacific Ocean to not recall last year's All Is Lost, but that was a fleeting feeling. As days turn to weeks, the desperation between the men becomes palpable and I began to forget that we hadn't even gotten to the worst part of Zamperini's life.
Our Holiday Favorites 2014: 'Tis the Season for Stanwyck
In August, the Austin Film Society series "Stanwyck in Her Prime" showcased some of the titles that made Barbara Stanwyck one of the greatest actresses of her generation. It featured such classic Stanwyck staples as Preston Sturges' The Lady Eve (1941) and Ball of Fire (1941), both essential highlights in Stanwyck's stellar career. As a result of the series popularity, and since it's the holidays, I thought I'd spotlight the few but worthwhile Christmas movies Stanwyck starred in.
Not many think of Stanwyck as an actress who would be caught dead in a Christmas movie. Her brand of playing women both tough and tragic made her one of the most formidable screen heroines of all time. And yet, if you are a fan of Stanwyck's, its not surprising to see her in these films since they provided the actress grade-A roles with directors and co-stars also at the top of their game.
Christmas in Connecticut (1945)
So much of Stanwyck's filmography featured the actress playing complicated women (some good, some bad) in situations fraught with intense conflict. However, Christmas in Connecticut is one of those rare exceptions where the great Stanwyck was able to leave her trademark intensity at home and indulge in one of her most playful roles ever. Stanwyck plays celebrated homemaker Elizabeth Lane, a 1940s Martha Stewart who delights millions of readers with sumptuous recipes and household hints through a wildly popular magazine column. When a rescued soldier (Dennis Morgan) expresses a desire to meet the domestic diva, the magazine's publishing magnate (Sydney Greenstreet) demands that she invite him to her Connecticut farm for a homemade Christmas without realizing that Elizabeth is actually a fraud who can't really cook.
Our Holiday Favorites 2014: Black Christmas
Welcome to Holiday Favorites, a series in which Slackerwood contributors and our friends talk about the movies we watch during the holiday season, holiday-related or otherwise.
The idea of a strange costumed man breaking into my home is terrifying. It's made even more terrifying under fluorescent lights, and with the amount of sharp Christmas-related objects strewn around most homes during the holidays a sleigh ride takes on a new meaning (see the tagline for the 2006 Black Christmas remake).
I first saw Black Christmas in high school, perusing the Blockbuster horror aisle. My two-week winter break was underway and I was tired of watching ABC Family Channel's "25 Days of Christmas." The cover of Black Christmas sold me: a young woman sitting in a rocking chair with a plastic bag over her head. I thought about the plastic bag that covered the winter coat I received as an early Christmas present, which before hung in my closet hopeful for cold weather, but now took on an ominous presence.
Black Christmas (its original 1974 theatrical title was the corny Silent Night, Evil Night) tells the now-done-to-death story of a group of college women staying in their sorority house during winter break. This decision proves to be more mind-numbing than listening to half-drunk family members rattle on about their problems.
Holiday Favorites 2014: Russell Wayne Groves and 'Christmas Vacation'
Welcome to Holiday Favorites, a series in which Slackerwood contributors and our friends talk about the movies we watch during the holiday season, holiday-related or otherwise.
Today's pick comes from local actor and producer Russell Wayne Groves (Lord Montagu, Intramural):
Reminiscing on my childhood I can't remember a Christmas without my entire family laughing at Chevy Chase. The physical humor coupled with his smoky hiss laugh is what the holidays were and are still made of.
It's very rare for a film to have immense re-watchability, but Christmas Vacation somehow exhibits that quality in bucketloads. I fondly remember in high school performing Chevy's monologue "Hap-Hap Happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby danced..." in front of my drama class, probably to the dismay of my teacher.
Movies This Week: December 19-24, 2014
With Christmas around the bend, there's not nearly as much specialty programming from now until the end of the year, but there's still some great screenings worth mentioning. The Austin Film Society will be closing out 2014 with Cracking Up, a 1983 comedy from Jerry Lewis in 35mm. Bryan Connolly will be on hand for a post-film discussion for the showings tonight and again on Sunday evening.
In terms of the rest of the week in specialty screenings, they are pretty exclusively Christmas-themed. The Alamo Drafthouse Slaughter has free daily screenings of Arthur Christmas for Alamo Kids Club and Home Alone pizza parties on Sunday and Tuesday (which also will happen at the Alamo Lakeline). The Alamo Ritz has a digital restoration of Meet Me In St. Louis on Saturday and Sunday for Broadway Brunch, Gremlins on Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday, Die Hard in 35mm from Sunday through Wednesday for daily shows, the bizarre Finnish film Rare Exports on Sunday and Tuesday and John Ford's Christmas classic Donovan's Reef starring John Wayne on Monday night. There are also a few quote-along screenings again this week of Love Actually and Elf.
The Alamo Village has Muppet Christmas Carol for free daily Alamo Kids Club screenings each morning and is also giving you one more shot for a digital restoration of It's A Wonderful Life on Wednesday. Both the Alamo South Lamar and Lakeline locations have A Christmas Story with a Chinese dinner on Monday while it also plays again on Wednesday only at Lamar.

Fans lined up to greet Yannick at the Kimmel Center in June. (Photo by Chris Lee courtesy Philadelphia Orchestra)
Yannick Nézet-Séguin will lead his first subscription concerts as The Philadelphia Orchestra's music director designate on October 29, 30, and 31, 2010 in Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center, leading milestone symphonies by two Viennese masters working a century apart.
The program pairs Haydn's "Military" Symphony, so named for its trumpet-and-drum fanfare in the second movement, with Mahler's mighty Fifth, whose march-like first movement not only harkens back to the Haydn on the first half, but is also said to echo the composer's childhood memories of bugle calls and military bands in his native Moravia.
Immediately following each of his appearances with the Orchestra, Yannick will greet audiences in the Kimmel Center's Commonwealth Plaza.
In January 2011, Yannick returns to conduct Debussy's Nocturnes and Mozart's Requiem for chorus, soloists, and orchestra.
A piece not heard by Philadelphia Orchestra audiences in 20 years, Mozart's Requiem remains one of the most famous pieces of music ever written and the numerous attempts to complete the score, left unfinished at the composer's early death, have only enhanced its legendary status.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin was announced as the next music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra on June 14, 2010.
Four days later he made his first official appearances as music director designate as part of day-long "Welcome" tour of Philadelphia, during which he met with patrons at the Kimmel Center, visited iconic city sites, attended a Neighborhood Concert in Upper Darby, and was welcomed by over 45,000 Phillies fans during the seventh-inning stretch at Citizen's Bank Park, a video of which you can watch after the jump.

Secondly though, and maybe fixed by the first, is that spirit is not treated as hit at all. The addon appears to take your current hit rating and reforge anything as necessary to get to the hit cap. So, if you have an item currently using spirit, the addon sees the bad stat in spirit, but does not realize that reforging away from that spirit will lower hit, and you end up with the wrong hit value after reforging. You can see this easily by manually reforging everyting to spirit, then, using normal stat weights, watch the addon reforge everything into primary stats, ignoring hit, leaving you with a very low hit rating until after you've reforged and run the addon again. Basically, unless your gear has already been reforged away from spirit, it takes 2 reforgings to get the addon to work 'correctly'. And since it does not understand spirit = hit, then setting spirit to cap at 1742 and giving spirit a value the same as hit, just results in way too much spirit / hit combined.
And finally, I did find one small bug where it got stuck on my helm and spent 450g reforging it over and over again. Why, i'm not sure. I tried relogging, and didnt help. My best guess is that it was missing the meta gem(I had just gotten it). Once I bought the gem, and put it in the helm, the addon seemed to work correctly. Why this would matter, I have no idea.

1920's upgrade
I'm hoping someone can help me out a little. I have a 1920's 3 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow fairly close to the beach. It currently has a gas wall heater/furnace in the hallway and that's what keeps the place warm - it barely does the job. The house was built on a raised foundation and the cold comes up through the floors. Anyway, my CURRENT plan is to try and rent the place out weekly. If the tenants want bedroom privacy, it pretty much eliminates getting any warm air in the room as the door would most likely be closed. The place is approx. 1200 sq. feet. My question is . . . what would be a good choice for heating and/or even air conditioning without breaking the bank as it is a rental. Also, the walls are lathe and plaster from the 20's. I'm hoping someone can give me some BRILLIANT ideas. I'm just really not wanting to put one of those "window" air conditioners in the room. The mansard roof - flat - does have some attic space but not a whole lot. Thanks

Beavertails aren't narrow
Posted by: kayamedic on May-09-13 8:49 AM (EST)
so I am confused at the above post. BT are pretty wide down low before the curve of the tail.
Ottertails are slender and long and give good solo control. Their 4 to 5 inch width is not tiring for inwater recoveries as it does not transmit torque.

Cheese bits - fondue? Mac/cheese? Cheese ball?
I need inspiration. I have a bunch of little cheese bits languishing in the fridge. All are small amounts, 1/4 lb or less (much less in some cases) and I am trying to figure out a way to use some or all of them up. I was thinking of tossing them all in the food processor with a little garlic and white wine and grinding them into a cheese spread/ball sort of thing but I am open to suggestions. They don't all need to be used at once, but what I have available is:
Regular Manchego
Rosemary Covered Manchego
Sharp Cheddar
Beemster Vlaskaas
Moody Blue (smoked blue cheese)
What would you do with leftovers of this sort?
I make my own egg mc muffins by microwaving an egg in a bowl with some cheese chopped up in it, scramble as I go and serve on rye bread toast. Yum!
Can't think of gruyere and not think of onion soup....
Bleu cheese over salad with walnuts and dried cranberries with some raspberry vinaigrette....
This happened to me after the holidays. I had so many bits!
I make fritatas or quiche often on sundays. I'll tuck one variety along the crust edge with sauted spinach and onion, (squeezed of water) and try a different one in the middle with whatever veggies make sense...
With really firm hard ends, the whole thing dropped in a brothy veggie/chic soup. Via the Italians, Lydia and Marcella. If it is possible chop it into small cubes without the rind, i'll leave them in. If too hard, it can be fished out before serving...adds a nice rich flavor.
Softer cheeses i have no clue what to do with...i hope for early funkiness so i can toss it!
Last night i used up an end of manchego by getting off what i could, chopped fine(ish) and put it on some thin sliced bread rounds and broiled toasty, top side, for soup.
(bread was frozen, soup frozen from a batch i made after easter)
MoodyBlue? not had that, sounds delish. With the 'blues' i usually cut off a 1/4-1/2 inch all the way around all sides, if even possible, and see whats up. Probably would use that for pizza night...w/ caramelized onions, olives, proscuitto, arugula, and artichoke hearts. Homemade pizza fri nights about once a month and use up a ton of 'bits'.
DD brings me free bags of cheese ends from the butcher shop where she works. I grated them up and freeze in 1 and 2 cup portions. I use the cheese for pizza topping, mac & cheese, omelets, quiche, to top burgers, in stuffing for stuff peppers or mushrooms and mixed with panko to bread chicken and pork.
I would do exactly what you said in your original post. Jacques Pepin calls it "Fromage Fort". It makes a delicious spread.
Here is a link that might be useful: Jacques Pépin: Fromage Fort .
May, that was one fantastic video. I love him anyhow, so knowledgeable and so charming. Made me want to go see if I had any odds, ends, and rinds!
So do you make fromage fort? What do you do with it? They showed toasted baguette slices with it melted on top. Looked pretty good.
What a great idea! And you already were on that track.
I'm making that tonight and i only have fresh hunks. Gorgonzola, Irish chedar, Manchego...i'll have to use plain yogurt, maybe a splash of ac vinegar, scoop of
grainy mustard....don't have wine on hand. Not really 'stink' old cheese, but might be nice with a steak and tomato salad.
-thanks for the video link.
Fromage Fort is done - I can honestly say I love that I had the rosemary crusted Manchego to include, it lends a wonderful herby flavor to it. And I went with 1 clove of garlic, otherwise it gets really strong sitting in the fridge for a day or so.
The Moody Blue will probably go on pizzette with caramelized onions tomorrow. I am having a few friends over (they were supposed to come last night, life got in the way) and I am making Ruthannas olive and anchovy bites too. OMG we will all be stinking to high Heaven with all the garlic, olives, cheese, anchovies, etc but we will be in good company so I guess it is okay.
Thank you again for all the inspiration, I now have a trove of ideas what to do with left over cheeses!
I do make it, and often don't actually wait till I have extra pieces of cheese laying around. I just eat it with a good crusty bread or crackers. It makes a great appetizer when you have guests. And it's different every time since it depends on which cheeses you mix up. I used a chili pepper cheddar in the mix once and it gave it a wonderful kick which really melded well with the wine & garlic.
It's so easy to whip up and the best thing is that making it ahead a day or two just gives all the flavors a chance to blend.

Gathering Each Monday – Coldstream Clubhouse at 7 PM
Everyone Welcome
The Senior Tech Group brings technology users together to share knowledge and experience. User groups represent the spirit of the frontier, a community getting together to do things that no individual ought to have to do alone. User groups are founded on the principle of "members helping members." We are particularly interested in helping those who have limited or no experience with computers so they may participate in the rapid transition from traditional means of communications and commerce to the Internet. So please invite your "non-connected" neighbors to come along to a meeting or clinic and see how easily we can help them learn what they need to know. And please understand that, while a listed presentation topic may not be of particular interest, the discussion often branches into other topics of interest to those attending and that there is no meeting where you don't learn something new.
Everyone welcome! No matter which operating system your computers, tablets or feature phones are using. Or if you are thinking about getting involved or making a change this is the place for you.
We do not have any prerequisites, just come, ask questions, bring your tech issues and enjoy.
As most of you know, Glenn is in his winter nest in Fort Meyers, Fl. Until his return, Bob will hold Clinic sessions on alternate Mondays at 7PM, commencing on January 12th. In the meantime, both Glenn and Bob are available via telephone and email to assist with any problems you may be having. Also, Glenn adds to the Programs on this website as he supports his neighbors in the Groves Resort, so check from time to time to see what's new.
March 16, 2015 at 7:00 PM Clinic -Bob will be at the Clubhouse for one-on-one help and group discussion of computer use and other technology issues. We am happy to help with questions you have about any presentation session (programs) or any other tech questions you might have.

Notice for Visitors to the Web Site
As you will see, this is an open web site, with access granted for all Internet users. The Senior Tech Group uses this site as a resource for the three communities we support, i.e., Coldstream Crossing residents and the Phoenixville Library visitors in Pennsylvania and The Groves community in Fort Meyers, Florida. We provide direct support, including house calls, at appropriate times of the year for the Coldstream Crossing and Groves communities. All of the services we provide are pro bono.
We welcome visitors from outside our supported communities, to view the resources in the web site. While we attempt to maintain all the information and links the best we can, we disclaim responsibility for any use or mis-use of any information or links to other sites contained herewithin.
An Important Note: Along with much praise for the STG and what we do at our presentations, there are some of our attendees who say "their eyes get glazed over" at how quickly we move through the different screens and options. WE HEAR YOU! We have kicked this around and are committed to make no demonstration clicks or entries on the computer image on the TV screen without making sure everyone knows what are doing and how/why we are doing it.
Senior Tech Group Members (If you attended at least once, you are a member), please let us know what you would like us to cover in the future.

I currently set up each tablet by hand, generally:
- Turn on
- Get past initial setup screens - Samsung account, Dropbox account, Google Account
- Delete all of the Home Main Screens, just leaving one clear screen instead of 5.
- Change approx 5 settings (GPS on, screen brightness, screen off time etc)
- Change Background to a photo in Dropbox
- Install approx 5 apps from Google Play and place icons on Main Homescreen
This takes approx 8mins per tablet, which adds up when I have lots of tablets
I would like to pay $100.00USD (via PayPal, or another means) to the person who makes the easiest 'Automated Setup Method'. This does not have to make the process completely automatic, I just want to reduce my setup time dramatically. A couple mins actual interaction with each device would be ok.
The solution cannot Leave the Tablet Rooted, leave the Flash Counter increased, void the warranty, leave the Recovery changed.
I was thinking the solution might flash a custom ZIP file or something with these changes, but I'm not really sure.
Send solutions via PM, with a description of how it works and how to use it.
