CATEGORIES Horror, CinematicalOver at Film School Rejects, Cole Abaius presents a good argument for retiring the term "torture porn," a phrase coined by New York Magazine's David Edelstein in the 2006 feature "Now Playing at Your Local Multiplex: Torture Porn." Edelstein's feature offers plenty of ideas to chew on as to why ultra-violent movies like 'Saw' and 'Hostel' have gained such mainstream popularity, but what's stuck with us is the glib idiom.
As Abaius points out, it's lost all meaning. It's reductive and dismissive, used by critics or viewers to write off movies that they themselves don't find any worth in, as well as their audience. The term can apply to anything from the Guinea Pig films to 'Salo,' and I'm sure there are people who would argue that both contribute to film from a theoretical standpoint.
I'd go a step further, though; using the word porn as a pejorative is equally lazy and reductive. Just because you don't like something or agree with it or find any worth in it doesn't mean you can completely write it off. While it's impossible to ignore the connection between sex and death, the term "torture porn" implies that the viewer is getting off on violence, which I don't think is necessarily the case. Meanwhile, our lexicon is now full of ridiculous terms like food porn, shoe porn, and handbag porn. Why? What does that exactly say?
I reject the notion that all porn is useless and devoid of meaning or value, just as I reject the notion that upsetting, truly disturbing horror movies are all mindless exercises in voyeurism or some sort of Freudian fever dream. And there are plenty of pornographic movies and horror movies that are mindless crap -- but if we're going to write about them at all, we need more constructive, interesting and insightful language to bolster our arguments.
For Halloween, I rented a number of movies, but only two of them were chosen specifically because the thought of watching them made my palms sweat: 'Inside' and 'Martyrs.'
Although new movies like 'A Serbian Film' have found even more inventive ways to punish audiences, the French have been at the forefront of a new wave of horror since 'Seul contre tous' ('I Stand Alone'), 'Baise-moi' ('F*ck Me') and 'Haute Tension' (High Tension') were sprung on art house fans. 'Inside' (À l'intérieur) and 'Martyrs' are regarded as the queens of this genre, and for good reason. The first is about a pregnant woman due to give birth the next day who's being stalked by a nameless woman who wants to steal her baby. I tried to watch it once before and had to turn it off. The second is about a disturbed young woman, Lucie, who was horribly abused as a child; her friend Anna goes with her in what she thinks will be an attempt for Lucie to confront her abusers but instead turns into a bloodbath that uncovers the true nature of who abused Lucie. It begins with an introduction by the director, who invites the viewer to hate him for creating such a movie.
I did question why I wanted to watch them. It wasn't to torture myself, or to get off on the violence. I found myself totally drained after watching 'Martyrs,' and it's not an experience I'll revisit. But I watched it to push my own boundaries and see how far I was willing to go along with the filmmaker or, just like with being a kid and covering your eyes at the scary parts, find out what I could handle. (And yes, I did cover my eyes during parts of 'Martyrs.') Whether or not I found that to be an interesting, worthwhile journey is something I'm still thinking about.
All of these movies could qualify as "torture porn," but for every person who dismisses them as exploitative crap, there is at least one other person who would argue vehemently their artistic and cultural merits. I'd rather read or partake in an interesting discussion of the movies, what they're about, what they mean, and why they watch them than read yet another review that simply writes them off.

Producers of the Broadway screen-to-stage import, which has been previewing at the Savoy Theatre since 5 December 2009, have broken with West End convention by inviting critics attend staggered performances prior to the official opening, as is the norm in New York (See Michael Coveney's blog).
A boon for photographers and autograph hunters, the absence of the critical coterie at last night's gala left room for even more stellar guests. Amongst those attending the theatre and celebrations at the Waldorf Hilton afterwards were: Neil Pearson, Zoe Tyler, Verity Rushworth, Angela Rippon, Douglas Hodge, John Partridge, Caprice Bourret, Maria Friedman, Sian Phillips, Graham Norton, Siobhan Dillon, Tara Palmer-Tompkinson, Stephen Mangan, Summer Strallen, Britt Ekland, Kathryn Drysdale, Brenda Edwards, Kim Medcalf, Jason Isaacs, Claire Sweeney, Bob Geldof, Brenda Blethyn, Matthew Warchus and David Tennant.
TO SCROLL THROUGH ALL OF LEGALLY BLONDE's 1st NIGHT PHOTOS,
The musical comedy, which premiered on Broadway in April 2007, is based on the 2001 Hollywood film in which Reese Witherspoon played California sorority girl Elle Woods who follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School in an attempt to win him back.
Sheridan Smith stars as Elle, with ex-Blue pop star Duncan James as Elle's heartbreaker college sweetheart Warner and Alex Gaumond as her new love interest Emmett (See News, 21 Jul 2009). Peter Davison is Harvard professor Callahan and Jill Halfpenny is Paulette, the hairdresser who Elle befriends. The cast also features Aoife Mulholland and Susan McFadden.
Legally Blonde marks the Broadway and West End directorial debut for Jerry Mitchell, a previous Whatsonstage.com Best Choreographer Award winner for Hairspray and The Full Monty. The musical has a book by Heather Hach and music and lyrics by Nell Benjamin and Laurence O'Keefe. Songs include "Ohmigod You Guys", "Serious", "The Harvard Variations", "Whipped into Shape", "Find My Way" and the title number.
The London production is designed by David Rockwell, with costumes by Gregg Barnes, lighting by Kenneth Posner and Paul Miller, sound by ACME Sound Partners and orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke. It's produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Robert G Bartner, Ambassador Theatre Group, Jamie Hendry Productions and Act Productions and is currently booking to 23 May 2010.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - Three people from Hermiston face charges for a string of organized retail crimes in the Tri-Cities last night.
Police say the Tri-Cities has become a shopping destination for eastern Washington and unfortunately, a shop lifting destination. The National Retail Federation says that annual losses from organized retail crime could be as high as $30-billion.Organized retail crime is defined as one or more people stealing from three or more stores.
"Organized retail theft is a big industry where they are going into stores with multiple people and a plan to steal clothes and that is then sold on the black market," said Kennewick Police Sgt. Ken Lattin.
Police say the people arrested here last night stole from Ranch and Home, The Craft Warehouse, and were then caught at Famous Footwear.Officers recovered all of the stolen merchandise.

By Scott Smith Kokomo Tribune
Kokomo Tribune
---- — The end is in sight for the Kokomo Municipal Airport's runway extension project, with bids due next week for the biggest ticket item, the paving work.
Airport officials are hoping the Federal Aviation Administration will fully fund the extension, which will add 800 feet to the airport's 5,200-foot runway.
Larger aircraft, carrying heavier payloads and fuel loads, will be able to take off from Kokomo once the extension is in place.
"People say, 'Why 800 feet?' It's what the FAA has decided a community our size needs," airport manager Frank Cade said Friday.
The project has been a decade in the making, beginning with environmental assessments and property acquisition around the outskirts of the airport.
A runway safety improvement area was completed in 2010, at a total cost of $1.8 million, which enclosed a creek on one side of the airport.
Last year, crews completed a $1.6 million project to relocate county roads 300 North and 300 East, creating enough room on the western edge of the airport for the extension. The airport's fences were replaced as part of that project.
This year, Geiger Excavating, Fort Wayne, has been adding 7 feet of grade to create a level base for both the runway extension and for a broad emergency runoff area. That work, contracted for $900,000, is nearing completion.
With those projects out of the way, all that will be left will be the runway work, and possibly new lighting systems for the runway and taxiways.
Nick Isenberg, a project consultant with Woolpert Inc., Indianapolis, said the FAA will ultimately decide how much to spend on the runway extension work, which is expected to cost considerably more than all of the work done to date.
The FAA is expected to fund 90 percent of the project cost, with the state of Indiana funding 2.5 percent, and the city funding 7.5 percent.
Isenberg said the city plans to use revenue from fuel sales at the airport to pay the city's matching share.
Cade said if the FAA funds the extension project, a considerable amount of the work could be completed this year.
"I'm fairly confident we'll get a good portion done this fall," Cade said.

I realize that, at this point, the word "meditation" has evolved into a term that is used to describe cool things that cool people do instead of doing uncool things that journalists might think of as prayer. Perhaps we need an entry in the Associated Press Stylebook that states this clearly.
The problem, of course, is that many of these generic meditative techniques have their origins in major world religions and, in fact, they are linked to prayer in those traditions. The key, today, is that these spiritual techniques have been turned into consumer goods. Yes, there is an app for that.
It was a strange little news-you-can-use piece in The Los Angeles Times — "Meditation apps let the peace flow through the phone" — that got me thinking about this. Look it over, and we'll return to its contents in a minute.
This story, if it is a news story, reminded me of an interview I did a decade ago with poet Rodger Kamenetz, author of the bestseller "The Jew in the Lotus." He was worried that, as more and more people stopped practicing actual religious faiths, we would end up lots of people making up their own religions — stripping away the actual doctrines and ethical teachings until they were left with plastic substitutes that, essentially, calmed their nerves but never judged their lives.
Perhaps, he told me, it was time to list the actual prayer traditions of Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam on some kind of "spiritual endangered species" list. Thus, I wrote:
Take Buddhism, for example, which appears to be flourishing and winning converts in media-soaked America. Simply stated, Buddhism is being bought and sold. And Kamenetz is not the only scholar who is worried about the rise of a consumer-friendly Buddhism in the spirituality marketplace.
There are other seekers — including growing numbers of "JUBUs" or Jewish Buddhists — who find Buddhism attractive because they see it as a form of spirituality without dogmas, creeds, beliefs, commandments and rituals that resemble anything they were required to learn as children. They simply ignore what traditional Buddhist leaders such as the Dalai Lama have to say about hot-button moral issues, such as abortion, homosexuality of sexual abstinence.
"Let's face it," said Kamenetz, "one of the reasons Buddhism has become so popular, with so many Americans, so fast, is that people have stripped away all of the rules and the precepts and the work that has to do with how you are supposed to live your life. In doing so, they have stripped Buddhism of its ethical content. You are left with a religion that makes very few demands of you. Is that Buddhism?
With that in mind, take another look at that Times piece, which centers on peace and tranquility via the smartphone. Think of this, in a way, as a parallel story to the whole wretched "going to confession online" media craze of a year or two ago, which was a news-gets-abused mess on multiple levels. Those apps allowed believers to PREPARE for confession, using printed materials and journals on their smartphones.
It appears that these new "meditation" apps go way, way, beyond that kind of thing. The story notes that a simple search for "meditation" in the iPhone App Store yields 1,000 possible downloads.
The guidance offered in these apps "allows you just to let go and stop worrying about whether you're doing it right," says Stephan Bodian, a psychotherapist in Tucson and the developer of the Mindfulness Meditation app. "You can just relax and let yourself be led."
Plugging in to a meditation app — having turned off the phone's ringer and other functions, of course — could have a host of benefits. Researchers have found that meditation reduces stress and makes people generally happier.
Here's the journalistic key, for me. What does the word "meditation" actually mean, in the context of this story? What would differentiate "meditation" from "prayer"? What is the line between, let's say, letting oneself "be led" in generic, commercialized meditation, as opposed to meditating by saying the prayers of the traditional Catholic Rosary?
Here is what readers get:
There are many kinds of meditation, but a lot of attention these days is going to "mindfulness." Mindfulness is all about paying attention to the here and now — not the past or future, where stressors lurk — with an open, observant attitude, says psychologist Britta Hölzel of Massachusetts General Hospital. Frequently it involves focusing on one particular thing, like the breath.
"It helps me be more awake and alive to what's happening around me," Hölzel says.
Mindfulness can help with attention, memory and emotional control. It can help people deal with anxiety, depression and substance abuse.
The benefits of meditation aren't limited to the brain; it can also lower cholesterol, heart rate and blood pressure. …
In other words, the story offers little or nothing in the way of a definition or a description of the contents of these programs. Mediation is defined in terms of its alleged effects — that is all. You pay your money, you get the outcome that you want. Or you get your money back? This strange Times story does not address that point.
The story ends, of course, with blurbs promoting several of these generic, non-religious meditation products. Personally, I wonder what Kamenetz would say about this one:
For: Android, iPhone
Cost: $2.99
The lighthearted Buddhify program promises "appalicious goodness for you to play with," including 32 meditations. It's all about "urban meditation," so you don't have to find a quiet mountaintop or temple. Buddhify has meditations for walking, riding the bus, working out and the home. With no music, you focus on the sounds around you. You can further customize your experience by selecting specific "flavors," such as clarity or stability.
I guess, in terms of journalism, we are living in a new age after all.

A lemon tree to beat them all
6:30am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
WHEN life gives you lemons... make sure they're giant ones. That was the saying at the University of Oxford's Botanic Garden yesterday.
Trainee horticulturalist Emily Sharpe was proudly inspecting the yellow creation in the garden's conservatory.
Miss Sharpe said: "The plants are very slow growers. They can weigh up to 2.5 kg. We are pleased we are able to grow the citrus fruit in the conservatory and I'm happy with the result."
The giant lemon, known as the Citrus Medica, can measure up to 30cm by 20cm.
A monster of the citrus world, it is about 10 times the size of its smaller cousin. The plants grow in the conservatory – there's no special secret, just warmth, light, and Mediterranean conditions.
The fruit has now reached its maximum size and is currently the only one on the plant. The gardens are open daily from 9am until 4pm.

I am interested because some files that codewarrior is not coloring in my project are suspiciously the files that define some modules which are crashing. Everything compiles and links fine, but at runtime there are crashes. I have checked for things like duplicate files, multiple definitions, and done some googling on the topic but have found nothing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

|Buy Israel Week
Buy Israel Week
You can support our friends and family in Israel when you buy products made in Israel. From February 25-March 3 Buy Israel Week gives you that opportunity.
In 2005 a global movement was launched for a campaign of Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel. Since then, events with Israeli speakers, Israeli universities, stores that carry Israeli products, and Israeli companies have been boycotted with the goal of delegitimizing Israel.
The goal of BUY ISRAEL WEEK is to combat the efforts of the BDS protestors through purchasing power. Every purchase can help make a difference. Many Israeli institutions are responsible for scientific research to cure disease; Israeli companies develop technology that we use in our cell phones and computers, and new energy technologies are used in other countries. Whether switching your brand of coffee or purchasing a gift, you can actively make the decision to buy Israel.
The effort is organized by jdeal.com, The Jewish Week Media Group of NY, Washington Jewish Week, Florida Jewish Journal, Tribe Media Corporation, the Jewish Standard of New Jersey, the Chicago Jewish News, Texas Jewish Post, J. the Jewish News Weekly of Northern California and Jewish News of Greater Phoenix, Philadelphia Exponent, Baltimore Jewish Times.–in the United States, as well as Israel-America Chamber of Commerce, Manufacturers' Association of Israel, Israel Export and Cooperation Institute, Conference of Presidents, United with Israel and Stand With Us.

An interesting (and not all that surprising) twist in yesterday's events. Turns out that KG's loyalty (and no-trade clause) are why he's still in Boston.
Celts catch Crawford | Boston Herald
According to several accounts, though, talk between Ainge and the Clippers continued right up until the final hours yesterday. Garnett said during All-Star weekend that he would not waive his no-trade clause, and held true to his vow despite added pressure from Clippers guard Chris Paul. According to a league source, Paul called Garnett and said that if he was open to joining the Clippers, then Paul would make it happen. Garnett, though, declined, expressing a desire to remain a Celtic.
If you were in the blow it up group, don't blame Ainge (well, at least not for his deadline efforts). This was all KG wanting to stay here and ride it out with this group.

Summary: I bought this for my wife to replace a 5 year old Sony DSC-T7 (5 megapixel point and shoot).Edit URL
The Canon has FAR superior low light performance, image stabilization works well, great compact size, nice big LCD relative to the size of the camera, and easy intuitive controls (although tiny buttons, if you have big fingers, they're a touch too small in my opinion).
To compare, I took similar shots with both cameras, one outside in full sun, the other inside in low light with the flash on. I left both cameras in full auto mode. On both shots, the Canon outperforms the older camera (with 5 years of improved technology, I expected nothing less). The low light flash shot was dramatically better on the Canon (and taking a low light shot without the flash was even more extreme).
The outdoor shot, although the Canon was better, it wasn't a whole lot better. To be honest, for 14 megapixels I was expecting a little more fine detail/sharpness in the image. Shame on me for thinking a higher resolution sensor would really make that much difference -- when examining fine details, it's really all about optics, and no point and shoot lens is going to measure up to my expectations (I used to do a lot of SLR photography with pro level lenses).
So don't expect anything remotely resembling SLR quality results; remember you're buying a point and shoot. You won't be making any 11x17 prints to proudly hang on the wall. But the portability of this camera is fantastic; you can easily drop it in a pocket and have it ready when the moment strikes, and the results will look great in a scrapbook or family photo album. And when I started a family I stopped lugging around an SLR and camera bag... the diaper bag is plenty.

Great camera a bit of a let down for some, but not me.
by cosmosjoshys on July 26, 2010
Pros: Small size, materials, large screen, easy to use, and of course...good pictures
Cons: Does this take the best pictures? No, Is that why someone buys this? No. It is an excellent camera though for its size.
Summary: A convenient compact camera that won't let you down...unless you need a perfect shot every time....ironic?! One problem I keep finding myself in is when I need ...
Summary: A convenient compact camera that won't let you down...unless you need a perfect shot every time....ironic?! One problem I keep finding myself in is when I need to turn on the continuous shot setting. Its very slow compared to a lot of other cameras.After all these people complaining about low light photos, I had to take some low light pics to see what the fuss was about...I'm not having these problems at all. My low light photos are turning out just fine.

I love this camera! I bought it for non-tech wife.
by PhotoAm2011 on January 1, 2011
Pros: Very simple to use and beautiful images. Simple to use, pocket-sized point and shoot camera. Insert the battery and SD card, turn it on, and set it to auto with a slider switch. Small enough to fit in a small pocketbook. Takes good video.
Cons: Usual slow auto-focus. Pre-focusing speeds up considerably. Only shoots jpeg, no raw. Hinges on doors for battery/flash card compartment and video cables flimsy. Cable door sticks at 1/3. Checked store model and it was same. Only 4X optical zoom.
Summary: My wife is technology adverse. This camera exceeds her expectations for simplicity and quality. A few elegant controls are on the body so there is little to learn. Only controls ...
Summary: My wife is technology adverse. This camera exceeds her expectations for simplicity and quality. A few elegant controls are on the body so there is little to learn. Only controls she needed to learn were on/off, display/view, zoom, and shutter buttons. Truly point and shoot. I did have to set up date/time and initial configuration. This was easy to do through a fairly straightforward menu system.
Image quality exceeded my expectations. I am an amateur DSLR photographer who understands camera physics, digital file formats/limitations, and image processing technology. I am surprised at the quality of the images. Over the Holidays we have shot outdoors (sunny and cloudy), indoors at home, and at two large museums. I took pictures of the kids jumping and captured them in mid-air by pre-focusing and timing the shutter release.
Program AE has a good selection of program modes, ISO can be selected, white balance, etc. But with the Auto as good as it is -- why bother?
I used the movie mode at Christmas dinner and was very pleased with the quality and sound. I also used the movie mode outdoors at a changing of the guard ceremony and again was pleased. Good image stabilization, sound, and image quality. This shoots video as .mov files. If you want to convert to mpeg, you will need additional software.
Overall - this camera exceeds expectations for something so small and relatively inexpensive. It was on sale for $150 and I had a store coupon for 10% discount.

A strong addition to the team.
by PhotoFreak10 on March 29, 2010
Pros: very slim sleek camera, smaller then most but packs a good punch for its size. Very smart and very respectable in low light situations. With a modest shutter lag and smart auto.
Cons: One thing I loved about canon's line up LAST YEAR, is they were the ONLY major company that still offered a view finder on their compact models. This year that under rated feature has gone by the way side and no longer exists in the 2010 line up.
Summary: For the last two years Canon has really impressed me with their point and shoot line up. The SD1400 is no exception, this is a moderate improvement on an already ...
Summary: For the last two years Canon has really impressed me with their point and shoot line up. The SD1400 is no exception, this is a moderate improvement on an already good sub compact the SD780. The 1400 features canon's Dig IV processor which, in my opinion, is one of the best and brightest on the market today. This is a smart camera, with some nice features; Such as the ability to zoom while taking HD Video, color accenting, color swapping, and a pretty quality lens and sensor considering the camera's size. With its modest price tag of 249ish I feel its one of the best little point and shoots your going to find for that price bracket. If your looking for a compact no hassle, quality image camera, look no farther it has arrived.

A Pretty Good Camera
by PCgoneMac on July 9, 2010

-On average, pretty good photos
-Very nice display
-On-board image and video editing executed well.
-Excellent photos in good lighting
-Good flash
-In good lighting, the 720P video capture is excellent and very smooth.
Cons: -When on programable mode the picture is almost always blurry if flash is off
-Horrible low-light photos
-Unreliable Auto Mode
-On-board video editing limited to trimming time
-Pretty limited customization of Programable Mode.

Summary: I love the design and portability of this camera. I love being able to slip it into a pocket with ease. I am usually satisfied with pictures, however the camera can be very unreliable, and the low-light pictures are terrible. When the lighting conditions are right the 720P video rivals the quality of my Flip Mino HD. This camera wasn't the cheapest, but overall I like it. Though it may fail you at times, this camera is good overall.

OMG - one year, thats all this thing lasted.
by johnnypuke123 on July 4, 2011
Pros: So SAD, after reading awsome reviews, this camera just is not tough enough for regular users. Old maids, wimps, and tea-toters enjoy, but if you plan to use this thing for a vacation, or wedding - FORGET IT! What a dismal failure.
Cons: While the atractivly small size and minimalist frame are attractive, there is no staying power for my use. Good quality in the pictures, bad design of the lens cover, and barrel. Dont waste your money. Try something with a real cover or sturdy design.
Summary: Good for a disposible camrea if spending 159+ is disposable. Works for a while, then gets cranky first, then stops all togather after about a year of not heavy use. ...
Summary: Good for a disposible camrea if spending 159+ is disposable. Works for a while, then gets cranky first, then stops all togather after about a year of not heavy use. Keep this thing away from kids, chocolate, sand, wind, crowds, mist, sunlight, flowers, dander, mites, and anything else that is in normal world enviroments. Suggested use, Biosphere II, a controlled enviroment with no chance of accidents.
Does not last, very disappointed
by adaiku on June 13, 2011
Pros: good pics while camera worked
Cons: lens error after just one year, now camera is unusable. We never dropped this camera, got it dirty, or anything. It just stopped after light use. Do not buy this camera.

Amazing Camera but not very tough

Pros: great picture, amazing video, easy to use, perfect size

Summary: I bought this camera a month ago while I was home on leave from Iraq and when I got back to Iraq I got some great pictures and videos out of this camera for the month it worked. Other than being totally bummed my new camera doesnt work and I cant take more pictures of my deployment this camera isnt horrible. Just make sure if for some reason you buy this camera, baby it. keep it safe from getting bumped or and kind of dust, the retracable lens is very very easy to break. I hope this review helped out. have a great day

I just installed 13.04 on my desktop yesterday. After updating all the drivers all that was left was my printer driver.
Ubuntu told me I needed to get the driver off the website so I did that. I updated the driver and everything was great. Then I rebooted.
I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu on my comp. After the splash screen where I choose which OS I want to use I click on Ubuntu and it sends me to a full screen terminal login.
This is the only way it lets me get in. So I log in and have to push Alt + Ctrl + F8 to get out of it and back to the desktop. Other than that everything is running just fine. I ran boot repair to see if that would fix anything but still nothing. I have to manually login and then get out of the full screen terminal.
I am on a:
- 3.6ghz amd fx4100 4 core
- 16gb ram
- Corsair 120gb SSD (Ubuntu)
- Samsung 256 gb pro SSD (windows 7)
- Nvidia gt430 2gb
- 600w ps
Someone help!
I read somewhere else it might be GDM but I reinstalled it and nothing. I am really confused on this one!

Did Obama say everyone should go to college?
By Louis Jacobson
Published on Monday, February 27th, 2012 at 6:05 p.m.
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum kicked up a media storm when he slammed President Barack Obama as a "snob" at an Americans for Prosperity forum in Troy, Mich., on Feb. 25, 2012.
"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college," Santorum said. "What a snob. There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard everyday and put their skills to test that aren't taught by some liberal college professor that (tries) to indoctrinate them."
Is that what Obama said? We reviewed 18 Obama speeches and found Santorum was wrong.

Georgetown Police said a Dairy Queen robbery was an inside job. Today, they arrested two 18-year-old employees, Chase Lane and Davin Edwards, charging them with theft.
Captain Robert Swanigan said the Dairy Queen was robbed early Sunday morning.
"It was actually a staged theft that had taken place," Swanigan said. "The two employees had actually worked together to execute the theft."
Swanigan said Lane was closing the store Saturday night. He then opened the backdoor and let Edwards inside. They said Edwards was wearing a sweatshirt and sunglasses and was armed with a BB pistol.
Police said the two men then went to the safe and Lane filled the bags Edwards provided. Once Edwards left the store, Lane called police to report the store was robbed.
Swanigan said the men stole $3,400 and split it between themselves.
He said the detectives did an outstanding job with this case because at first they had about zero chance of identifying the robber.
But Swanigan said another piece of evidence – outdoor surveillance video from the surrounding stores – showed the car the suspect used. Police then tracked that vehicle to Edwards.
"Pretty bad for them. Both of these guys are 18-years-old and just starting their lives," Swanigan said. "And they've made such a poor decision. The citizens of Georgetown think we have an armed robber on the loose, and then to learn it's all been an act... it's frustrating."
This is the fourth time the Georgetown Dairy Queen has been robbed within a year.
Police said they are investigating to see if the crimes are connected.

Richmond police have released the identity of a man shot and killed on the city's south side Sunday.
Police say Jared P. Ellison, 34, of the 2400 block of Arrow Wood Road in Midlothian died at CJW-Chippenham Medical Center. Police are still looking for the gunman.
The shooting happened just after 9 p.m. Sunday near the intersection of Forest Hill Avenue and West 34th Street.
Families in the area have been helping police to find who killed a man right in front of someone's home.
Detectives said the shooter had an accomplice, who drove him away in a early 2000 model gold Ford Taurus. The victim is a male in his 30s. It's not clear if he's from the neighborhood or another part of town. Police are saying the motive for all of this appears to be drug-related.
Police encourage anyone who can help with an arrest to anonymously call Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000.
