DJANGO UNCHAINED 175 mins. | Rated R |
DJANGO UNCHAINED 175 mins. | Rated R |
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Quentin Tarantinos DJANGO UNCHAINED is an ultraviolent homage to the spaghetti western with smart humor, exciting action, and a stellar cast led by Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, and DiCaprio. Foxx stars as Django, a slave whose brutal history lands him facetoface with German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (played by Waltz in an Oscar nominated performance) hot on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles dead or alive. Tarantinos typically genrebending film has earned 5 Academy Award nominations, including Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture. |

Lenny Bruce
Lenny Bruce
When once asked to describe jazz, trumpet legend Miles Davis sarcastically but saliently replied, "You can sweat it down to four words: Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker." Applying that same old-school, new-school trailblazer to comedy is somewhat more problematic. A number of great early comics could stand in for the Armstrong entry, among them Charlie Chaplin, Groucho Marx, Jack Benny, and George Burns. But in choosing the "Charlie Parker of comedy," by that meaning the one who blazed the modern-day trail, influencing all that came after him, the answer is simple and irrefutable: Lenny Bruce. He was the genre's reckless visionary, the one who defied conventions, the law, and the system, and -- like most visionaries -- was taken down by it all in the end. Bruce changed the whole ball game: no longer would comics have to come out in a cute little suit and tell cute little mother-in-law jokes or feel like they were "working dirty" if they talked openly about sex and other taboo subjects. The shoot-from-the-hip and tell-the-truth work of Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Richard Lewis, and myriad other modern-day comics could never have existed without Bruce first storming the citadel and tearing down the conventional walls of comedy presentation back in the 1950s. He was the original rebel in this marvelous amalgam he invented, taking his borscht belt and strip-joint background and spot welding it to a hipster enlightenment. His style took previously taboo subjects and not only dumped them all in the audience's lap, but did it with a creative verve that made him the wildest, the hippest, the most controversial, and simply the best comic trotting the boards. Those lucky enough to have caught Bruce on an inspired night said it was like a roller coaster ride inside a person's head, free-association ramblings streaming out in a virtual torrent of ideas. Jumping from '50s jazz hipster slang to a liberal dosage of Yiddish vernacular that sounded like code to the uninitiated to sometimes impish little-boy charm letting you in on a big, dark secret, no comic created intimacy with an audience in almost any environment -- conclusively proven in his amazing performance at Carnegie Hall -- than Lenny Bruce.

Artisan: Sierra Sonoma
In her studio set amidst the rolling hills and endless stretches of green vines in Sonoma Valley, long considered California's premier wine country, artist Cheryl Sirkus creates the pieces for her Sierra Sonoma jewelry line. Her pieces shine like reflections of the inspiration she gathers from the natural, subtle beauty of the region.
"This is truly an inspirational place to live and design," Cheryl says. Starting by sketching out ideas, she mindfully creates pieces to capture elegance and femininity in understated tones, selecting semi-precious stones and pearls to enhance the effect. "Simplicity and subtle designs are really my forte. I think the design and color should speak for itself."

You've probably heard of radiation sickness after the recent problems at two nuclear power plants in Japan. People you know may be talking about whether they should worry about radiation getting into the air or food.
The good news is, there's no reason for most people to worry. Only people who live within a few miles of the Japanese nuclear plants need to take special steps to protect themselves.
Here's why:
Radiation sickness is rare. People need to be exposed to a lot of radiation to get sick. Even if a nuclear plant releases large amounts of radiation, the farther away that radiation travels from the source, the more it disperses into the atmosphere. So even if radiation from Japan reaches the shores of Hawaii, Alaska, or other parts of the United States, health officials say the possibility of getting sick from these trace amounts is "essentially zero."
Food can be contaminated by radiation, but it's not something to worry about in the case of Japan. Experts know that radiation can cause health problems if too much gets into the vegetables, fruit, milk, meat, fish, and other foods we eat. That's why regulators in Japan, the United States, and elsewhere are working hard to ensure the food supply stays safe.
So just what is radiation? And how can it affect people?
In just the right amounts, radiation is a good thing — and very necessary for life. In fact, radiation is a natural process. It's found in small amounts just about everywhere: in soil, water, food, and even our bodies. We're exposed to this kind of "background radiation" every day.
In the broadest sense, radiation is the act of giving off energy. The sun is one energy source that gives off (or "radiates") energy through its ultraviolet rays.
The two types of radiation are:
It's rare to be exposed to dangerously high doses of radiation in everyday life. But people can be exposed to high doses if there's a nuclear attack or a nuclear power plant failure.
People who are within a few miles of a nuclear disaster are at risk of being exposed to increased levels of ionizing radiation. But unless someone is standing inside a nuclear reactor building when an explosion or meltdown happens, the chances of developing radiation sickness or dying suddenly are low. The further away from the source of radiation a person is, the lower the risk of radiation sickness.
Radiation sickness usually only happens to people who are exposed to 300 or more times the average yearly dose of background radiation. A person exposed to such high doses of radiation may have:
How severe these problems are and when they show up depends on how much radiation the person was exposed to. It also depends on whether the person was exposed to radiation over a short or long period of time.
When exposure is sudden and 100 or more times the average yearly dose, symptoms can be severe and appear within a few hours. A lower dose of radiation over a longer period of time is less likely to cause symptoms right away, but will still increase the risk of cancer later in life.
The health problems caused by dangerously high levels of radiation can be treated. But people who are exposed to near-fatal amounts of radiation and still survive can have lifelong health problems. They have an increased risk for developing certain types of cancer.
Usually a medical team of doctors with different health specialties will work together to treat the different areas of the body that were damaged by radiation. If medical personnel are able to treat people quickly (within 24 hours) after a radiation crisis, they may be able to prescribe medications to reduce the chances of certain cancers.
After a nuclear incident, radiation particles can travel on wind currents and settle in water sources, plant life, and soil. That means that livestock and food crops that live and grow in these areas are likely to be affected.
Sometimes the level of radiation in food is so small that it poses no risk. Other times, it rises above safety levels. That's why scientists test the levels of radiation in the soil after a nuclear disaster. It helps them decide how high the risk really is. If scientists think a food is unsafe, regulators ban it from being sold or distributed until radiation levels decrease. It can take time for radiation to get back to acceptable levels. Depending on what happened, it may be weeks, months, or even years.
People can avoid eating contaminated food, but wild animals can't do that. Studies from previous nuclear disasters have found that some animals in affected areas might be harmed, but most do not suffer long-term health problems.
After a nuclear incident, there's no way of knowing how much environmental damage has been done until months or even years later. Scientists will be monitoring the area of Japan where the nuclear crisis happened for many years to come.
