Bella Melone
2 Comments | Written on June 29, 2010 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
In the summer, there is nothing like a light and refreshing fruit salad and right now the melons are so gorgeous! With such a wonderful piece of fruit, you don't have to do much to make beautiful dish. This Italian inspired recipe uses cantaloupe and watermelon and dresses it up with a bit of honey, balsamic vinegar and a dash of black pepper. I like to serve it out of champagne flutes with a sprig of mint to add a bit of sophistication to this fantastic seasonal produce.
I love the title of this recipe, "Bella Melone" meaning "Beautiful Melon" in Italian. The Italians have such a passion of good food and quality ingredients, it makes sense they find their fruit so beautiful! I still remember when I was studying Italian in college and every morning my professor would greet me at the door with open arms and her full voice, "Buongiorno, mia bella Kristina!" (Of course followed by "Mia bella Amy" or "Mia bella Katie" as other students arrived!) She began class with such happiness and warmth and I think this recipe for "Bella Melone" is the best way to start off an Italian summer meal! Grazie mille a Professoressa Guidolti e buon appetito a tutto!
Bella Melone
2 cups chilled seeded watermelon balls
2 cups chilled seeded cantaloupe balls
1/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)
Divide chilled watermelon and cantaloupe among 4 dessert dishes or stemless champagne flutes. Stir together honey and balsamic vinegar and drizzle some over each serving. If desired, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, and garnish with fresh mint sprigs. Serves 4.

This looks very simple and fresh. Great for a really hot day! I can't believe how often I see recipes that call for vinegar to be added. I would never consider adding vinegar.
Thanks for sharing

A couple escaped their burning home with only the clothes on their back after they believe someone tossed Molotov cocktails inside their home intended for a nearby house.
The couple says there have been issues with other homes on the block including drugs and fights. One home in particular has been the scene of suspicious activity. They believe their home was hit by mistake.
"I know it wasn't meant for us," Terry Jackson said.
He and his wife, Linda, were at their home at 1030 Rowland about 8:30 p.m. Monday night. Linda Jackson was watching TV when she was startled by the sound of breaking glass.
"Boom," Linda Jackson said. "And all of sudden fire just started shooting all the way in there."
She saw objects rolling on the floor, and yelled to her husband "Fire!"
He said he ran downstairs and saw the second one come crashing through.
"It was two of them. They threw two bottles, not one," he said.
In disbelief, he ran to get his wife out of harm's way. He then ran to the kitchen and grabbed water. That just ignited further gasoline in the home-made bombs and made matters worse.
Molotov cocktails are usually made out of a breakable container filled with flammable liquid that is ignited and thrown.
The couple fled from their burning home as neighbors also tried vainly to put the fire out. Paramedics checked them out at the scene, and both are doing OK.
Investigators are still working to determine the exact cause of the fire.
"I know it wasn't meant for us," Terry Jackson said. "There's always been trouble on the block. I can't sugar coat it."
The home is near the intersection of North 10th Street and Quindaro Boulevard.
By the time firefighters arrived, flames had already moved into the attic and were shooting through windows.
The flames were so intense at one point that firefighters had to enter defense mode because they feared the building would collapse.
It took firefighters about 50 minutes to get the fire under control. The fire caused about $80,000 worth of damage, and the home is a total loss.
The street department salted the street because ice was building up from all of the water used to put out the flames.
The couple had homeowners insurance. They do not want to rebuild in the neighborhood because of the crime issues.

Apple reportedly 'noodling with' 7.85-inch iPad prototypeApple is said to be "noodling with" ideas and prototypes for a 7.85-inch iPad, though it's not clear if the device will ever see the light of day, according to one well-connected insider.
John Gruber of Daring Fireball said during an episode of "The Talk Show" that he knows Apple has a test 7.85-inch iPad with a resolution of 1,024 by 768 in its lab, as noted by The Next Web.
"I've heard from numerous people that that's one of the ideas that they're noodling with," he said.
Gruber added that the height of such a device would be roughly the same as the width of the current iPad. After testing the appromixate size using a screenshot rotated into landscape mode, he believes it would be "usable."
Screenshot of iPad in portrait viewed in landscape
"There are a couple areas where I think text is maybe a little too small, but it's not ridiculously small," he said.
He went on to say that he has "heard from nobody" on whether the 7-inch iPad will actually be released and when that would happen. Gruber did speculate, though, that Apple may have prepared enter the low-end tablet market should the Kindle Fire prove to be a runaway success. He also suggested that the company could possibly unveil the smaller iPad at the Worldwide Developers Conference, since it's unlikely that Apple would release a 2012 iPhone at WWDC.
Reports of a smaller iPad have persisted since the original iPad launched in April 2010. DigiTimes, which has mixed accuracy, has been one of the chief sources of rumors about a 7-inch iPad.
Speculation on a smaller form factor iPad gained legitimacy in February when The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple officials have been showing off designs for a smaller iPad that has a similar screen resolution as the iPad 2. The report did caution, though, that Apple could be simply testing new designs and might not actually release the device.
Recent reports have also suggested the rumored device could feature a "slim bezel display." A leaked research note from Samsung Securities that surfaced in March hinted that Apple will release a so-called "iPad mini" in the third quarter of 2012.

When Tangled Hickory Wine Bar's owners, Kevin and Karya Powell, envisioned a gathering spot for lunch, dinner, and late-night socializing, they knew they wanted its main fixture to be wines from around the world. As a result, their wine list features more than 100 bottles, as well as about 20 wines by the glass each day. They also ply patrons with wine flights, craft beers, and cocktails, which guests enjoy while listening to live music and recordings of New Guinea singing dogs.
Their wine bar's diverse menu offers shareable food to pair with the drinks, including bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños and a local artisan cheese board. Whenever possible, the Powells use local meats, seasonal produce, and bakery creations. They even have Madison's Gail Ambrosius Chocolatier—whose cocoa creations were called "the Holy Grail of chocolate" by Food Network's Alton Brown—whip up truffles that set off the flavor notes in Tangled Hickory's wine.

What Happens to #Ferguson Affects Ferguson : — The Message — Medium
Ferguson is about many things, starting first with race and policing in America.
But it's also about internet, net neutrality and algorithmic filtering.
But those very factors often make it less likely such places make the news, except as trouble spots. Places to be ignored. Avoided. "We" hear it only through official statements, often dismissing local concerns, painting them as looters, thugs, troublemakers.
Yes Ferguson will make news, another friend tweeted, because… well, here you go: Twitter.
This unfolded in real time on my social media feed which was pretty soon taken over by the topic — and yes, it's a function of who I follow but I follow across the political spectrum, on purpose, and also globally. Egyptians and Turks were tweeting tear gas advice. Journalists with national profiles started going live on TV. And yes, there were people from the left and the right who expressed outrage.
And then I switched to non net-neutral Internet to see what was up. I mostly have a similar a composition of friends on Facebook as I do on Twitter.
Nada, zip, nada.
No Ferguson on Facebook last night. I scrolled. Refreshed.
This morning, though, my Facebook feed is also very heavily dominated by discussion of Ferguson. Many of those posts seem to have been written last night, but I didn't see them then. Overnight, "edgerank" –or whatever Facebook's filtering algorithm is called now — seems to have bubbled them up, probably as people engaged them more.
This isn't about Facebook per se—maybe it will do a good job, maybe not—but the fact that algorithmic filtering, as a layer, controls what you see on the Internet. Net neutrality (or lack thereof) will be yet another layer determining this. This will come on top of existing inequalities in attention, coverage and control.
But maybe in the future, they don't have to bother to arrest journalists and force cameras off. In California, legislation is being considered for "kill switches" in phones — a feature I honestly cannot imagine a good use for this in the United States.
But keep in mind, Ferguson is also a net neutrality issue. It's also an algorithmic filtering issue. How the internet is run, governed and filtered is a human rights issue.

Travel Anorak 21 21
Love! This lightweight raincoat is fabulous on a rainy day. It does have drawstrings at the hem, but the A-line shape of the coat is so cute on the bottom that I don't want to pull it in. It's long enough to keep my jeans dry on a rainy Portland day. It's a good layering coat and plenty roomy in the shoulders over a sweater or down vest. True to size and flattering. I love it! February 20, 2014
Bought a second one! I liked this so much in the tan color that I bought a second in black. Great for when there is just a bit of a chill in the air. Packs down to nothing. Feminine and practical! February 14, 2014
Great value This anorak is quite versatile; travel, to work, to the gym. At the sale price a great deal! February 9, 2014
great lightweight jacket I like this windbreaker a lot. It;s very lightweight and folds up small. February 8, 2014
Lightweight and lovely color I love this coat, and the glorious rose pink color is what I love most. It is also very stylish, flattering, and just makes me look great no matter what I am wearing underneath it. It is lightweight but has a great hood and roomy pockets, so very practical for windy/rainy weather or spring cool sunny weather. Looks great with dresses or jeans. I bought a small but had to return for an extra small and it is still roomy but not overwhelming. I am 5 ft 3 inches and 115 lbs. It doesn't wrinkle and the fabulous fabric and color make it always look new. Highly recommend this anorak! February 8, 2014
Shimmery mauve is beautiful Love that mauve color! At first I thought the sizing was off, but now I see the fit is TTS, You have to put some time into getting the drawstrings right, in order to that that nice sleek line and waist definition, otherwise it is a huge A-line, almost tent like. With some quick cinching it looks adorable. Super value on salem February 8, 2014

House of 1000 Manga - Unico
Shaenon takes a magical journey with Tezuka's famously adorable little unicorn, Unico.
The Totoro no Furusato (The Homeland of Totoro Foundation) has opened an English-language Totoro Fund website in its effort to preserve "the beautiful natural habitat and cultural assets of Sayama Hills and its surrounding areas." These lush green hills, located to the west of metropolitan Tokyo, helped inspired Hayao Miyazaki to create his 1988 classic, My Neighbor Totoro. A separate effort by The Council for the Conservation of Fuchinomori Forest protected another patch of forest that also inspired Miyazaki.

I saw in the news recently that some nurses are trying to create a national organization that could mobilize volunteer nurses quickly if a disaster occurred. I'd love to sign up-but would I be abandoning my regular patients and risking legal problems if I left on short notice to help at a disaster site? I also worry that I'd have fewer job opportunities if employers knew I'd take an abrupt leave in the case of a disaster.-W.T., MASS.
You'd be wise to discuss your interest in the disaster program with your employer before you sign up. You may be pleased to find that your employer supports your desire to help. Your employee handbook probably spells out your obligations at your present job. Read it to see if you can leave on short notice and return to your job after disaster work; then you can make an informed decision about joining the volunteer program.
Another caution is to make sure you have your own professional liability insurance coverage for your volunteer nursing. This activity would fall outside the scope of your employment, so your employer's insurance wouldn't cover it. Maybe the disaster planning group provides liability coverage-if it does, get a copy of the policy to make sure you're adequately protected. If you already have a personal professional liability insurance policy, contact your insurer to verify that it would cover this type of volunteer activity.
Finally, you must be clear about the issue of practicing nursing in a state where you aren't licensed before you fly off to help.
The nurses who are organizing the volunteer effort have probably anticipated all these concerns. Ask questions and gather information now, not during a crisis.

AbstractThis study investigates determinants of the male-female unionization differential. Logit analysis is used to estimate three union membership equations, using data taken from the May 1976 Current Population Survey. Standard human capital measures, plus location, race, and sex, are first included as explanatory variables, and then occupational and industry status are added sequentially. The results indicate that sex differences in occupational and industrial status account for over half of the male-female unionization differential. The authors also conclude, however, that increasing the female unionization rate to equal the male rate would only modestly diminish the sex difference in wages. (Author's abstract.)

Andechser Mannheim
Ratings: 1 | Reviews: 1 | Display Reviews Only:
3.65/5 rDev 0%
Koch's Andecher Mannheim is a pretty good place to get a Bavarian feel outside of the great State. There are rotisseries of chicken and pork knee, along with multiple selections of Nürnberger Bratwurst portions to choose from. That pretty much makes up their small menu, with a few other things. Overall the food is decent.
The actual restaurant is well kept, and they have a relaxing open door area in front of the establishment with a fountain.
The service is the weakest point of the place. At best it can be slow when reordering a beer. I've been here about seven times or so, and the last time was the best service we got, which was well above average for the place and the certain waitress. The place is never busy, which makes me wonder why they're so slow at serving their beer; however, if they serve in accordance to the RHG, that may be the reason (certain styles of beer have to be slow poured in accordance to the RHG)
The main point for this review of course is the beer. I believe they have all of Andecher's line on tap all year round, to include their Doppelbock. Not available on the menu is their one liter sizes, which you must order knowingly they have the one liter steins, "Ein Mass Helles Bitte!"
Overall the place is a nice place to get a quaint Bavarian feel. It is a must to visit if you like Bavarian beer and food, but can't visit the real deal.

According to Katz, it was the board's intent to talk about on-street paid parking during the meeting, but since there has been legal action taken board members would not discuss any part of the law that is under legal challenge. However, he said board members could talk about other paid parking matters such as the machines themselves.
Also at the meeting, Stagecoach Coffee's Rod Torrence presented initial results of a questionnaire seeking information from downtown merchants about the impact of paid parking on their businesses and customers. Contrary to what village officials are claiming, Torrence said, the effects of paid parking have been instantaneous and unmistakable to business owners with virtually every respondent reporting an immediate negative impact on sales and customer behavior. For example, he said, "The Village Cobbler's positive growth trend abruptly ended with paid parking, with sales now trending negatively. Reid's Barbershop reports the loss of hundreds of dollars in weekly revenue since paid parking. Rudy's Liquor Store, one of the village's most venerable shops, is losing $100 a day in sales versus 2012 since Memorial Day. Tins & Bins has experienced a $2,000 sales decline between Memorial Day and June 20 compared to last year. Willis Monie Books went from positive sales increases in May to negative sales in June. Muskrat Hill reports a revenue loss of $8,000 in just three weeks since the advent of paid parking. Stagecoach Coffee, after doubling its seating capacity in February, has seen the sales momentum from its expansion drop by $250 a day. Sal's Pizzeria claims to have lost local support and is unsure whether area customers will ever return. Locals tell Sal's they are being 'punished' for being local and simply will not use paid parking …"
The list goes on.
Christopher Grady, owner at Stagecoach Coffee, said he worries he is afraid people are going to change their shopping habits.

Don't Punish Small Businesses for Giving Raises
Thursday, June 21, 2012Joe Brenckle 202-224-2465
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Ranking Member on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said he was disappointed the Senate rejected the Rewarding Achievement and Incentivizing Successful Employees (RAISE) Act which was offered as an amendment to the farm bill today. The RAISE Act amendment would have allowed employers to give employees raises, bonuses, incentive payments and other monetary rewards whenever they are earned, whether the union boss approves or not.
"I am extremely disappointed the Senate rejected this reasonable provision to help small business. The key to our economic recovery is the health of small businesses and for them to reach their full potential, and grow into job-creating machines. To do this they need the flexibility to maintain and attract the key employees who will get them there," said Senator Enzi. "Once a business is unionized however, giving an employee a raise, or a bonus, or an incentive without the approval of the union boss becomes an 'unfair labor practice.' All compensation issues must be negotiated with the union, which allows the union to take credit for securing the raise. The National Labor Relations Board will even penalize employers for it. The last thing we need is a federal agency and unions punishing companies for trying to perform better by rewarding their employees."

International Competition in Vertically Differentiated Markets with Innovation and Imitation: Trade Policy versus Free Trade
AbstractThe important characteristic of international competition between developed and less developed countries is vertical product differentiation, where firms' quality choices represent strategic decisions. Unlike the previous literature, we allow for a leadership in quality choice and the possibility of imitation and learning by the domestic firm. We compare both positive and normative aspects of this setup in the free trade and the strategic trade policy regime and show that the value of leadership may change dramatically when moving from free trade to trade policy. We also identify conditions under which trade policy can initiate the change in the quality ladders (known as quality reversal) and demonstrate that such a policy has a somewhat limited scope to achieve it. Thus, free trade can still be an optimal trade arrangement.

Day 3: Rounds 11-15
Draft Rules
• Draft order was selected at random.
• Player salaries based on 2009 salaries. For those involved in arbitration cases at the time of the draft, the midpoint between what the player wanted and what the team was offering was taken. Players with one-plus year of service time but not eligible for arbitration were given 10 percent raises from their 2008 salaries; those with two-plus were given 15 percent. Those with zero-plus were given the 2009 minimum of $400,000.
• Seeding for the tournament will be based on payroll -- No. 1 payroll vs. No. 4 payroll; No. 2 vs. No. 3.
• Each team must carry 11 pitchers.
• Each will act as a National League team -- so, no DH.
The economy is impacting everyone, baseball included. Teams are looking to build more cost-conscious rosters. But how? Is it doable? Are there enough talented, relatively inexpensive players to build a competitive roster for, say, $40 million, which is roughly the payroll the San Diego Padres hope to operate at in 2009?Well, ESPN.com put four of its experts on the case. During a recent five-day stretch, "Baseball Tonight's" Steve Phillips, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney and ESPN.com's Jayson Stark and Rob Neyer drafted their own 25-man rosters. All this week, we reveal their selections -- and their thoughts on each other's selections. On Monday, Feb. 9, the four teams will begin going head-to-head in seven-game series conducted by ImagineSports.com, which provides online simulation baseball games, using its Diamond Mind Baseball software. Our ultimate general manager will pit his budget-conscious team against the deep-pocketed New York Yankees in a seven-game series. On Day 1, Steve and Rob opted to spend, while Buster was tight with his checkbook. Jayson, meanwhile, challenged all comers. On Day 2, there was a rush for pitchers and Buster spent some of his money. And after a quiet day, the discussion was lively as Steve was reminded of the good old days.
41. Rob Neyer selects Ubaldo Jimenez (P, Colorado Rockies, $450,800)
42. Buster Olney selects Jose Reyes (SS, New York Mets, $5,750,000)
Steve Phillips: I like it. Did I ever mention that I was GM when he signed?
43. Steve Phillips selects Hong-Chih Kuo (P, Los Angeles Dodgers, $450,800)
Buster Olney: I was either going to take Kuo or Reyes with my pick.
But I was worried that Jayson was going to use that available cash to nab the best shortstop left on the board.
Jayson Stark: Buster, you turkey!!!!! I was going to take Reyes with my next pick, but whatever
44. Jayson Stark selects Jonathan Broxton (P, Los Angeles Dodgers, $1,825,000)
45. Jayson Stark selects Matt Thornton (P, Chicago White Sox, $1,325,000)
46. Steve Phillips selects J.P. Howell (P, Tampa Bay Rays, $457,010)
47. Buster Olney selects Rafael Perez (P, Cleveland Indians, $467,705)
Steve Phillips: For those of us with obsessive personality disorder, this draft process is killing me. I wanted to make all 25 of my picks in 15 minutes. It's affecting my judgment.
Jayson Stark: So that's your story, and you're sticking to it?
Buster Olney: I think I have the same disorder.
Steve Phillips: I am crazed just sitting here, foaming at the mouth.
Steve Phillips: My wife can't wait for this draft to be over. I'm killing her explaining my next picks. She thinks I am a lunatic. I am a lunatic.
This is so much fun.
Jayson Stark: Want to go ahead and draft Rob Stratton again, just for nostalgia's sake? Go ahead. We won't stop you.
Steve Phillips: Ha! That's a blast from the past.
Jayson Stark: I don't know about you, Steve, but my wife didn't need this draft to decide I was a lunatic. I've been laying out that body of work for years now.
Steve Phillips: It's actually bringing back memories from Mets days for her.
Rob Neyer: Great. The run on cheap power relievers right before it comes around to me again. Beautiful
48. Rob Neyer selects Frank Francisco (P, Texas Rangers, $1,600,000)
49. Rob Neyer selects Francisco Liriano (P, Minnesota Twins, $471,500)
Steve Phillips: I was going to take him. Good pick.
50. Buster Olney selects Mike Fontenot (2B, Chicago Cubs, $445,500)
Steve Phillips: I was going to take him, too.
51. Steve Phillips selects Jacoby Ellsbury (OF, Boston Red Sox, $446,000)
52. Jayson Stark selects Curtis Granderson (OF, Detroit Tigers, $3,500,000)
|Buster Olney: I had hoped to snag Curtis down the road, but oh, well. Any team that has Curtis officially has the smartest team in the league. Jayson Stark: Which of you guys wouldn't want to come cover my team now, huh? If you can't wring a decent quote or sound bite out of Curtis Granderson, Josh Hamilton and Cole Hamels, you're in the wrong business. Steve Phillips: I had my sights set on Curtis a bit later, too. I took Ellsbury to protect my wait.
53. Jayson Stark selects Jesse Carlson (P, Toronto Blue Jays, $429,000)
54. Steve Phillips selects Mike Aviles (2B, Kansas City Royals, $400,000)
Jayson Stark: Great pick
for a team with no money to spend.
Buster Olney: If you hadn't taken Aviles, then I would have.
55. Buster Olney selects Kevin Youkilis (1B, Boston Red Sox, $6,000,000)
Steve Phillips: I had you pegged for Prince Fielder, but I love Youk, too.
Buster Olney: I was worried that Rob might jump up and snake Youk, so that was a good Plan B.
Jayson Stark: I like all our teams.
Buster Olney: [Padres GM Kevin] Towers' reaction to this draft: "Of course you can get a great team.
Why wouldn't you?!!!"
Jayson Stark: Wait
does that mean he doesn't think we're all geniuses?
Steve Phillips: I don't care what he thinks
you guys are geniuses in my book.
Jayson Stark: Now we're talking. Let's have Steve review the rest of our picks. The heck with what Kevin thinks.
56. Rob Neyer selects Manny Delcarmen (P, Boston Red Sox, $484,150)
57. Rob Neyer selects Takashi Saito (P, Boston Red Sox, $1,500,000)
58. Buster Olney selects Skip Schumaker (OF, St. Louis Cardinals, $455,400)
Steve Phillips: What the heck, might as well go for it. Don't worry, I did the math and I have enough money left.
59. Steve Phillips selects Jonathan Papelbon (P, Boston Red Sox, $6,250,000)
Buster Olney: The salary-cap police are staring you in the eye, pal. I guess that means Steve won't be getting A-Rod.
Steve Phillips: No, that will be when we have $200 million to spend. We need those teams, too.
Buster Olney: Is it a felony or a misdemeanor if you go over the salary cap? If convicted, will Steve have his right to voting taken from him, or will he just be forced to vote for a Democrat?
Steve Phillips: I will serve hard time before I vote for a Democrat. Although they are fond of bailouts, and I may need one.
Commissioner: Immediate felony. No trial, no appeal.
Steve Phillips: I have it all mapped out. Don't worry. I wasn't going to leave money in the budget.
60. Jayson Stark selects Brandon Webb (P, Arizona Diamondbacks, $6,500,000)
|Steve Phillips: Good pick. If I had gotten Saito, I would have taken Webb.

"The Border" (1982)
Perhaps the most underseen and underrated film, and performance, of Nicholson's career, "The Border" was ignored on release, and has pretty much passed into obscurity, falling between his two Oscar-nominated supporting turns in "Reds" and "Terms of Endearment." But the film, penned by Walon Green ("Sorceror"), Deric Washburn ("Silent Running," "The Deer Hunter") and David Freeman, and directed, atypically, by the great British helmer Tony Richardson ("Tom Jones"), is an overlooked gem, with some of Nicholson's very best screen acting. The star plays Charlie, a border patrol agent who moves to Texas at the behest of his materialist, social-climbing wife (Valerie Perrine, fun, if a little broad). He soon discovers that his colleagues, Cat (Harvey Keitel) and Warren Oates (in his penultimate role) are deep into corruption, and gives into temptation, but decides to atone for his sins by tracking down the baby of immigrant Maria (Elpidia Carrilo), which has been taken to be sold to a wealthy American couple. The actor is in subdued form here, a man being eaten up by financial pressures and the self-loathing at what he's doing to live up to them, who finds salvation through his desire to "feel good about something sometime," as he tells Maria (there's a beautiful dignity to how he plays the scene, in which the girl undresses, thinking that's the payment Charlie wants for his help). The film unravels towards the end, devolving into a too-neat shoot-em-up finale that stinks of studio interference, but Nicholson's performance is a marvel throughout. It's time it got its due.
"Prizzi's Honor" (1985)
It's hard to argue that "Prizzi's Honor" was undervalued at the time as the film was nominated for a brace of Oscars, and Nicholson himself got a Best Actor nod, although he was beaten out by Wliliam Hurt for "Kiss of the Spider Woman." But its critical reputation has shrunk a little since, and probably correctly so. One suspects that the Academy wanted to honor director John Huston one last time, and had they known he had another bona-fide masterpiece in him with "The Dead," they might not have fallen for an enjoyable, if slight, black comedy. But none of that changes how good Nicholson is in the film. The actor plays Charley Partanna, a mob enforcer for the Prizzi family, who falls for Irene, a rival hitwoman (Kathleen Turner, never better). They're soon married, but find that work and love don't mix, and thanks to the interference of Charley's one-time fiancee Maerose (Nicholson's then-girlfriend Angelica Huston, who won an Oscar for the part), soon find themselves tasked with taking each other out. Huston gives the film an enjoyably nasty, dark tone, but the treat here is Nicholson, who with padding in his lip that subtly shifts his look and voice, giving him the feel of Humphrey Bogart. And despite the broad comic tone, there's a grounded, deeply sad feel to Charley, even as he wrings laughs out of his less than towering intellect.
"The Pledge" (2001)
In the last couple of decades, Nicholson's given good performances, but has too often, like Pacino and De Niro, ended up giving mannered turns that verge on self-parody. But smack in the middle is not just one of his most undervalued performances, but one of his very best. Six years after their first collaboration on "The Crossing Guard," Nicholson reunited with director Sean Penn for "The Pledge," another grim tale of child death and revenge, in which the star plays Jerry Black, a detective who, just as he's retiring, promises the mother of a murdered girl that he'll bring her killer to justice. His former colleagues think that they got their suspect, a mentally-disabled Native American man (Benicio Del Toro) who kills himself in custody, but Jerry's not convinced, and becomes increasingly obsessed with tracking down the murderer. While Penn's direction is occasionally a little heavy-handed and look-at-how-serious-I-am, he assembled an astonishing cast who never showboat (small cameos from Helen Mirren and Vanessa Redgrave are among the highlights), but Nicholson is first and foremost among them, carrying the entire film on his shoulders. It's easily his subtlest, least mannered performance, the actor almost unrecognizable as a haunted man trying to do the right thing, but often in the wrong way, and unravelling as a result. Where he's left at the end of the film is heartbreaking, and it remains his most resonant turn, although we're ever helpful it'll be topped before too long.

Bang on the money with PRIZZI'S HONOR & THE PLEDGE.

Agree on all fronts; I have a soft spot for him in Goin South too though ;)

Luv this list. The Border gives me a nice Nicholson, even though the story is a little thin/careful - I want him to leave his wife for the cross border character. Films seem to be reviewed from a central pool of like or dislike, heaven forbit we should disagree!!
Critics should note that the moment they don't like something - I RUN out and buy it. Anyone want to discuss Hoffa ?? Happy Birthday Mr. Nicholson

He is exceptional in all of these, but particularly in The Border and The Pledge (but About Schmidt needed to be here, too). Nice list all around, though I think accusing Nicholson of falling into self-parody is unfair. I think he has veered away from innocuous, embarrassing, and lightweight fare better than Pacino, De Niro, Hoffman, or any of his other contemporaries. He has continually taken more risks and his passion for acting and good stories still shines through.

I guess I need to see The King of Marvin Gardens, but The Pledge and Prizzis Honor are for sure under rated great performances. I wasn't sure anyone else had seen The Border but Jack was outstanding in it, and, without his performance, (Keaton too) Reds was a very over rated film and I wasn't a big fan of it. I agree with the the other person for pointing out About Schmidt--Jack was subtle and outstanding, the movie was underrated. Despite all of his early performances which were well done and mentioned, I believe one of his very best performances ever was in The Departed and I am a huge fan of Chinatown, Cuckoos Nest, Carnal Knowledge and 5 Easy Pieces....OK Jack in general. Happy Birthday to an entertainer who has entertained well through many centuries. I absolutely disagree with the comment that he pretty much stuck to his "star persona" most of the time.

Yes, happy to see Reds and especially The Pledge on here. Both are probably his best performances post-Cuckoo's Nest, when he pretty much stuck to his star persona most of the time.

Like everyone else I'm happy to see The Pledge on here (I think it's also Penn's best movie, definitely superior to Into the Wild) but I'm really pleasantly surprised that The Border also showed up.
And I think that even with his recent flirtations with self-parody that Nicholson's career has aged much better than his contemporaries. There really aren't too many blatant paycheck movies on his recent resume. Even Anger Management was decent by Adam Sandler standards, something that can't be said about the one that Pacino embarrassed himself in.

I clicked on the article just hoping to see The Pledge made the list and it looks like I'm not the only one. But what is truely underrated is Nicholson with a mustache. In three outta the five films he has one.

The Pledge is definitely underrated, both as a film and with Nicholson's performance. He's my favorite actor so picking his best is a bit of a torment. Something between Carnal Knowledge, One Flew Over and The Shining. As for underrated: I'd say his About Schmidt (same as Prizzi's Honor, he was nominated but now the film is hardly ever talked about) and The Missouri Breaks, a complete failure in its time but still had excellent performances from Brando and Nicholson. Thanks for reminding me about The Border! I haven't seen that in ages, it deserves a re-watch.

So glad you have The Pledge on the list. It has been seen by too few people and is an astonishing film with a powerful and surprisingly emotionally engaging performance by Nicholson -- my favourite of his. About Schmidt is another of his performances I found surprising -- mostly from his sadness and self-deprication.

Good call on THE PLEDGE
I haven't seen the other movies -- shame on me?
