Sports and Recreation
Southwest Ohio is a dream come true for sports lovers, since it is home to the Cincinnati Reds, the Cincinnati Bengals, and championship tennis and golf.
Speaking of golf, our region boasts some of the top-rated courses in Ohio. And according to Golf Digest, you'll find one of "America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses" practically in your own yard! You'll even find 100 more nine- and 18-hole golf courses in the area, 60 of which are public courses.
Dayton also has its share of sports teams. While they don't have the high profile of national teams like the Reds and Bengals, the Dayton Flyers basketball team, in particular, has a loyal following of dedicated fans. Dayton teams know it doesn't take a major league stadium to get fans into a frenzy!
For family fun, there's Paramount's Kings Island, the Cincinnati Zoo, the Newport Aquarium, a dozen state parks, and an 80-mile bike trail that parallels the scenic Little Miami River. And when it comes to shopping, we've got everything from "uptown" to "outlet"—not to mention some of the country's best towns for antiquing.
You'll find all this and more within 30 minutes of home in southwest Ohio. And since you won't waste half your day getting to and from work, you'll be able to enjoy it with time to spare!

In recognition of Earth Day 2009 (April 22), the Village of Westbury announced plans to expand its recycling program to make the Westbury community a "greener" place. Westbury's recycling program, initiated in 1987, is among the oldest and most successful recycling programs conducted by any municipality in Nassau County.
Westbury Mayor Peter Cavallaro recently announced that the village is exploring ways to make its recycling efforts even better by:
• Increasing the percentage of households that participate in the recycling program
• Increasing the kinds of materials that the village can collect for recycling and remove from the regular waste stream
• Establishing special "Drop-Off Days" at village collection sites for used computer equipment and electronic devices
"The expansion of our recycling program has the dual benefit of making our community 'greener' by reducing the solid waste that we send to the landfills and waste disposal facilities, and also lowering the cost to our residents of disposing of materials that could otherwise be recycled and disposed of at a much lower cost or at no cost at all," said Cavallaro. "It is basically a win-win situation for the village and our taxpayers."
The mayor expects that the expanded recycling program will take effect in the coming months, with the first computer and electronic equipment Drop-Off Day to be set for some time this summer.
Information about the village's expanded recycling efforts will be published in the Village Newsletter, The Westbury Times and otherwise made available to residents in the coming weeks.

Leap Day baby: Caitlin Kovalkoski
WTOP's Michelle Basch reports
Michelle Basch, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Feb. 29 is finally here -- a funny extra day that gets tacked on to the calendar every Leap year.
Most people don't even notice that Leap years have 366 days, but for some it is extra special.
"I just use it as an excuse to go a little extra crazy every four years," says Caitlin Kovalkoski who lives in Arlington, Va.
She was born on Feb. 29, and is turning 28 years old. But in Leap years, she is just 7.
"Because I very much enjoy Disney movies and the occasional peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I very much enjoy celebrating my Leap year birthdays," she jokes.
Her friends get a kick out of her unusual birthday, as well.
"I get cards on my actual Leap year birthdays, the ones from the kids' section of Hallmark like 'You're 7 Now,'" she says. "And people bring the number seven candles to put on birthday cakes."
This year's celebration involved a trip to a bowling alley with some friends last weekend.
During non-Leap years, she celebrates her birthday on Feb. 28. Strangely enough, that's her boyfriend's birthday.
"We have this running joke that I take his birthday three out of four years, and every once and a while I'll give him his own day," Kovalkoski says with a laugh.
The year she was born, the hospital was offering a prize to the parents of the first baby born on Leap day.
"I still hear about how I was the second born that day, so my parents said that from a very early age I was very stubborn and did things on my own time," she says.

McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales
Michael Chabon, editor
McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales
|Michael Chabon, editor
|Short Stories
In his introduction to this truly disappointing collection of short stories, officially the 10th issue of Dave Eggers's literary quarterly McSweeney's, guest editor Michael Chabon explains that the impetus for this project came from his own boredom with the contemporary short story, the archetype of which he accurately describes as the "quotidian, plotless, moment-of-truth revelatory story." He contrasts the laconic short fiction published today in The New Yorker and Harper's to the "ripping yarns" that appeared in both the pulps and the "great slick magazines" before 1950. And he notes that major writers from Poe to Hemingway crafted tales that embraced swift-moving narratives, exotic settings, and colorful characters, enjoying a wide readership and critical acclaim. Chabon is right, of course; short stories have become dull. But his effort to make them more fun to write and read by soliciting original stories in "the lost genres of short fiction" (horror, SF, crime, adventure) from both genre writers--Michael Crichton, Harlan Ellison--and leading literary lights--Rick Moody, Glen David Gold--is at best a failed experiment.
To begin with, very few of the tales are as "thrilling" as the collection's title promises. The strongest entries--Elmore Leonard's atmospheric U.S. marshal yarn "How Carlos Webster Changed His Name . . . ," Neil Gaiman's melancholy ghost story "Closing Time," Sherman Alexie's visceral zombie Western "Ghost Dance," Michael Moorcock's alternate-reality noir "The Case of the Nazi Canary," and Nick Hornby's slacker-Twilight Zone hybrid "Otherwise Pandemonium"--effortlessly recall the Golden Age of the pulps, bringing back the page-turning impulse to the form. Another compelling story is Eggers' "Up the Mountain Coming Down Slowly," which superbly recounts a tragic ascent up Mount Kilimanjaro but is written in a realist mode that is out of place in a collection of fantastic tales. The remaining 14 stories range from the merely diverting (Carol Emshwiller's allegorical survivalist story "The General") to the annoyingly impenetrable (Stephen King's "The Tale of Gray Dick," set in his Dark Tower universe) to the just plain bad (Harlan Ellison's lifeless satire "Goodbye to All That"). A number of the writers recruited by Chabon seem at a loss as how to write compact stories of action or intrigue, setting up decent premises that fizzle.
Chabon, whose own entry is the first chapter of an intriguing serialized novel of alternate-history espionage, should have exercised more control over the stories submitted, demanding that they conform more rigidly to the boundaries of genre fiction. The incongruous inclusion of fairy tales, straightforward mysteries, and jokey, self-referential follies weakens the collection. More problematic is the point of this exercise. Excellent genre stories are published every year without McSweeney's help, as the numerous annual "best of" volumes devoted to horror, SF, fantasy, and mystery attest. So while encouraging nongenre writers to loosen up a bit may be an excellent tonic for them, for the sake of their readers they had best improve the quality of their genre work or leave such stories to the experts.

This collection of 72 stories by noted fantasy authors including Tanith Lee, Jane Yolen, and Charles de Lint focuses on the enigmatic figure of Merlin. Many of the stories are original to this volume.
Even readers who don't normally enjoy Arthurian legends will love this version, a retelling from the point of view of the women behind the throne. Morgaine (more commonly known as Morgan Le Fay) and Gwenhwyfar (a Welsh spelling of Guinevere) struggle for power, using Arthur as a way to score points and promote their respective worldviews.
This is a well-loved retelling of the Arthurian legend, from Arthur's birth to the end of his reign, and is based largely on Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur. The musical Camelot was based on it, as was Disney's The Sword in the Stone. After White's death, a conclusion to The Once and Future King was found among his papers; it was published in 1977 as The Book of Merlyn.
Sixteen stories based on the Arthurian tradition, by such authors as John Steinbeck, Jane Yolen, Andre Norton, and others. Also included are a helpful guide to Arthurian names and characters and a bibliography of "100 Years of Arthurian Fiction."
Returning to the era of Arthur and his Camelot, Stewart has given life to two lesser-known characters from Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. She enlarges upon and gives wonderful detail to Alexander, a young prince who sets off on a quest to avenge his
father's assassination and to Alice, a gentle young lass who accompanies her father on pilgrimages to Holy shrines. Their stories are told in five alternating chapters until they meet, fall in love, and vanquish the foe in the exciting climax.
This Guinevere is no starry-eyed princess, only good for looking beautiful and breaking kingdoms in two. Guinevere, Queen of the Dragon Throne, calls upon the spirits of the dead to aid her fledgling army in battling pirates, an action that changes her own soul irrevocably. Meanwhile, a shape shifter and childhood friend named Black Leg (soon to be Lancelot) goes on a hero's quest to prove himself worthy of his beloved Guinevere.
Cornwell's Arthur is fierce, dedicated and complex, a man with many problems, most of his own making. His impulsive decisions sometimes have tragic ramifications, as when he lustfully takes Guinevere instead of the intended Ceinwyn, alienating his friends and allies and inspiring a bloody battle. The secondary characters are equally unexpected, and are ribboned with the magic and superstition of the times. Merlin impresses as a remarkable personage, a crafty schemer fond of deceit and disguise. Lancelot is portrayed as a warrior-pretender, a dishonest charmer with dark plans of his own; by contrast, Galahad seems the noble soldier of purpose and dedication. Guinevere, meanwhile, no gentle creature waiting patiently in the moonlight, has designs and plots of her own. The story of these characters and others is narrated forcefully and with dry wit by Derfel Cadarn, one of Arthur's warriors, who later becomes a monk.

Lumbini is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Rupandehi district of Nepal.

Lumbini is one of four magnets for pilgrimage that sprang up in places pivotal to the life of the Buddha, the others being at Kushinagar, Bodh Gaya, and Sarnath.

Hillary Clinton headed to the Middle East
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has decided to alter her Asia plans and head to Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Cairo in an attempt to help resolve the escalating conflict in Gaza.
"Her visits will build on American engagement with regional leaders over the past days - including intensive engagement by President Obama with [Israeli] Prime Minister [Bibi] Netanyahu and [Egyptian] President [Mohamed] Morsi - to support de-escalation of violence and a durable outcome that ends the rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns and restores a broader calm. As President Obama noted in his conversations with President Morsi, we commend Egypt's efforts to de-escalate the situation and are hopeful that these efforts will be successful," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.
"She will emphasize the United States' interest in a peaceful outcome that protects and enhances Israel's security and regional stability; that can lead to improved conditions for the civilian residents of Gaza; and that can reopen the path to fulfill the aspirations of Palestinians and Israelis for two states living in peace and security. She will continue to express U.S. concern for the loss of civilian life on both sides."
Obama spoke with Netayahi and Morsi on Monday. Clinton spoke Monday with Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil, who traveled to Gaza to express solidarity with Gazans. Clinton, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hamad Bin Jassim Al Thani, and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davotoglu.
Reports from Cambodia, where Obama and Clinton traveled to attend the a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the East Asia Summit, said that Obama decided late Monday to dispatch Clinton following more calls with Middle East leaders about the crisis.
"This morning, Secretary Clinton and the president spoke again about the situation in Gaza and the they agreed that it makes sense for the secretary to travel to the region so Secretary Clinton will depart today," Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes told The New York Times. "Her visits will build on the engagement that we've undertaken in the last several days... It's in nobody's interest to see an escalation of the military conflict."

Recently I listened to all of his speech in search of any real plan or strategy. Instead our president who should be our leader is only a cheerleader. Americans know that the situation in Iraq is the same or perhaps worse than one year ago. More than 1,700 Americans have been killed and more than 12,000 wounded. It seems US presence is exacerbating the problem. Yet our president is not facing reality. This July 4th, I'll put my flag on my front porch, just like I do every year. I'll think of our troops in Iraq, just like I've done for the last four years. This July 4th, I'll have hope that next year will be better, but no presidential plan.

FORT WASHINGTON, Md. (AP) - Four men have been charged with illegal hunting after an incident in which one of their friends was accidentally shot.
Maryland Natural Resources Police say 57-year-old Roy Contee of Upper Marlboro shot a member of his hunting group in the abdomen and knee Saturday afternoon. The victim, 59-year-old Ricky Johnson of Clinton, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The Baltimore Sun reports the men were hunting in a wooded area off a major road in Fort Washington. The land is owned by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.
Contee is charged with negligent hunting, hunting without written permission and illegal use of buckshot. Three others also face hunting-related charges.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.)

"Are you one of the Shropshire Greens?" she asked abruptly.
"No, just a Green Green," he answered. "You know--family supplied the name, and Providence weighed in with the nature."
"I once met a man on the boat who talked so much about the Shropshire Greens," she explained. "Forgive the question."
"Oh, easily," he assured her. "Did you say the boat, though?"

Great read!! Very British and extremely well written. I love the Gees character and cannot wait to read more of him.
PLEASE give us all 8 Gees books!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
More Gees please! He's fun. I'm not going to give away the plot. It is a fun read, strictly escapist. There is a series of eight (I think) books featuring Gees of which this is the first. I would like to read more of them. He is an interesting character and well worth investigation. Actually, I liked the character so much that the "mystery" part of the book was of less interest than Gees himself. The second book in the series, "Grey Shapes," is also listed here on Manybooks. I hope we'll soon see all eight. Enjoy!

Who'd a thought it, red suits are BACK! Well, to be truthful, they haven't really ever had a moment in the spotlight before (Austin Power's velvet number being the exception of course). In the last couple of days we've had not one but TWO huge stars spotted sporting the trend. First up our favourite Gossip Girl Blake Lively stepped out in her Michael Kors suit (buy it here!) to appear on Good Morning America. She wore hers with a pair of very elegant black Christian Louboutin Neuron cage sandals, and because she knows that a red suit is outfit-a-plenty, opted for no jewellery.
Rihanna this week also donned her favourite scarlet suit, this time a two tone tuxedo style by Acne. The singer was in London to perform at Hackney Weekend, and now is filming a new fashion TV show with Henry Holland and Nicola Roberts. The red suit with silk satin lapels and side seams is traditionally more formal than Lively's simple suit, but Ri-Ri dresses hers down with flat white brogues and a colourful bangle. It shouldn't work, but actually it really does!
Shop Rihanna and Blake's red suit looks here...

Right outfit: Jacket £40 Therapy Trousers £215 Catherine Malandrino Brogues £150 Hudson

POPS revamps menu February 26, 2009Posted by Ron Warnick in Attractions, Restaurants.
POPS, the Route 66 landmark in Arcadia, Okla., that's best-known for its 66-foot-tall pop bottle and more than 500 brands of soda it sells, recently revamped the menu of its cafe, reports the Daily Oklahoman.
Oklahoma City restaurateurs Keith and Heather Paul were hired to make the changes after discussing the idea with POPS owner and Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon. Among the food establishments the Pauls own are Market C and Cheever's Cafe, both of which are on or very near Route 66 and are historic properties — including a restored Phillips 66 cottage-style gas station.
Gone are the steaks and more exotic fare. Instead, Paul has revamped the menu into one that emphasizes "gourmet road food" headlined by burgers, hot dogs, chicken fried steak, a few salads, sodas and shakes.
"We kept some old favorites and centralized the menu to accommodate the crowds," Paul said.
"We tried to keep it as simple as possible and operationally a successful functioning restaurant. We're getting over the weekends 1,500 people a day."
So POPS is trying to get food to diners faster and cut down on the wait-in-line times on the weekends, which have sometimes stretched to 90 minutes since it opened.
Here is a link to a pdf of POPS' new menu.
I had a meal at Cheever's a few weeks ago, and it was terrific. So I understand why McClendon has a lot of faith in them.
- 1. DynoDave - February 28, 2009
Ron, any idea what percentage of those customers are locals Vs. travelers? Just wondering how many locals are coming out for dinner, and may not now that their choices have been trimmed.
I'm always a little nervous for the business owner when they have (from what I read here) a hugely successful business, and then while things are going great, decide to change their formula. Yes, 90 minute waits are problem, but what a nice problem to have!
- Ron - February 28, 2009
I don't know the ratio of locals/travelers. I suspect the travelers number is pretty high, though.
I don't think changing the menu is going to have much of an adverse effect. The story made it clear that they're keeping the old favorites. The bigger problem was the wait times on weekends, which seemed to be not slackening. McClendon hired those two people because 1) they're very good restaurateurs; and 2) streamlining the menu probably will cut down on the wait times. Both are good things.
I personally think restaurants make the mistake of having too big of a menu. Restaurants should be very, very good at a few things and not bother to serve food they're indifferent or unqualified to serve. Just look at the Boundary barbecue place down the road in Luther; it serves only about seven entries total. But the Boundary is very, very good at what it does and is thriving.
I think POPS' big draw is not the restaurant, but the 500 brands of soda available. Tons of people go in there to get a six-pack of something they usually can't get locally, like Dublin Dr Pepper. Sales of the soda were more than double the projections in the first year. And the markup on the soda itself makes it very profitable.
- 2. DynoDave - February 28, 2009
Thanks for the details Ron. Sounds like they are in good hands.

My spirits were high moving into Episode 4. I felt that the previous "adventure" challenge, my first as a judge, was a success. There was a fun, positive vibe on set and, more importantly, a couple of very strong songs emerged. My attitude was like, "we're finding our groove here. . .LET'S GO!"
I found out that Rodney Jerkins would be our guest judge for the this episode and was psyched about that. We'd worked on a string of hits together back in the day (Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine," Monica's "Angel Of Mine," and Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's Okay") and have remained friends over the years.
When it comes to the rap genre, my bar is very high. During my radio days I was a massive supporter of "conscious," thought-provoking hip-hop music by A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and Eric B and Rakim. Additionally I was an A&R VP at Arista Records during the label's incredibly potent ventures with both Bad Boy (Notorious B.I.G) and LaFace (Outkast).
As I mentioned last week, I wasn't present for any of the hook challenges, nor did I have knowledge of any behind-the-scenes drama with the cast while they were collaborating. Again, this was to ensure my complete objectivity while checking out the live performances and gauging hit potential. I respected that decision regarding my role because in "real life" I'm generally not in the studio while songs are being written. But I must say I've never reached out to a songwriter or producer to say, "Hey, we're looking for a smash single for Britney and by the way. . .throw in a line about super powers and while you're at it, add just a twist of opera!"

This baby is the happiest baby ever (thank you, Jesus). She's four months now and rolling. She laughs, but not to tickles, which makes me wonder. ...Willa gives her zerberts on her tummy- she doesn't find it amusing, but doesn't seem to mind either (little Miss Mellow- for now...I've learned baby mellow doesn't predict a thing). That's about it, I guess. I wish I had more photos, but this is all I got in the time I had. I'll do it up big at six months :). Love, sara
Oh, and I think she looks a bit like sweet Auden (which means she looks like me--holding my breath)!

Willa digs wearing my giant J.Crew necklaces (hey, me too)....and about a month ago, I snapped her wearing the black necklace with this Liberty of London tunic. But it was with my phone camera and I wanted real camera photos of her. I planned to iron her dress and all, but I had the perfect opportunity to take them this morning while Finn was sleeping and there's no telling if I'd ever get the chance again. So. Here she is! Happy Memorial Day. Love, Sara

Jul 13, 2012Steer clear of this movie - it is terrible. I love action/suspense thrillers and went to see Savages after seeing an overall positive score for it on Metacritic. I have no idea how Savages got a score of 62 - I would give it a 2 at best. Save your time, brain and money and see something else.
Jul 29, 2012Terrible movie. Couldn't root for any of the main characters, especially the blonde, so you didn't care what happened to them. Stakes were therefore zero. Plus her annoying Voice Over which is a lazy man's device- if I wanted to listen to someone read me a story I'd buy a book on tape, not go to the movie. And the double ending was hilariously bad. People in the theater actually laughed. And this isn't a comedy. Save your money and see anything else.… Expand
Jul 8, 2012The movie was a fine effort by the director and the actors but the subject matter was sick, really dark....the most likable character was a corrupt DEA agent. Maybe a little too close to reality is the problem. Another scary commentary on society.
Dec 9, 2012Wargasms? Are you kidding me man? I had to turn this film off. It's trying far too hard to be cool. Not gritty at all. Over the top in the extreme with the music, editing, even to the point of glamorizing the violence. Not a good idea to have a woman shot in the head followed by some cool music with a bunch of gangsters strutting along looking all bad!ass. This film might be trying to say something good, who knows. I just couldn't hack the style. Ok so Scarface is over the top, but it had atmosphere, mood, and it was intense, The violence was necessary but not gratuitous for the sake of it.… Expand
Dec 31, 2013I kept waiting for it to get better. It doesn't... it gets worse. The final ending really sinks it. Could they make the female character more whiny? She is someone you can't identify with and yet they continue to have her narrate. This is an art film with mainstream violence thrown in to make it sell.
Jul 6, 2012The intent of Savages is to make a case for the legalization of marijuana. That's all well and good. But ideas should never trump narrative. Similiar to horror films, Savages has one-dimensional characters making moronic decisions because the plot needs them to. The events following the setup require Ben to be naive and Chon to be suicidal. Ben and Chon are guilty of hubris, and O pays the price. But if only there were a reason to care what happens to O. The problem here is that Savages is asking us to care about O because she's in trouble, rather than making us care about her first, and putting her in danger second. The film's third act treats the audience with disdain, twice over. You'll be lied to, and then cheated. Some payoff, eh? Full review on my blog.… Expand
Sep 1, 2014Caught up by one-too-many obstacles and loses sight of quality filmmaking. The premise is also vague--taking numerous turns, creating an unbelievable and indistinct piece of film.
Jul 6, 2012Take away the violence, mostly gratuitous, the sex scenes, a lot of needless voice over and this 2 hour and 10 minute movie would be an hour shorter and faster. Oliver Stone is out to prove that all people are evil, in other words savages, and in his directing appears to be the most savage of all.
The story takes place in Laguna Beach plus other areas of Southern California and North Mexico, with some beautiful shots of the Laguna Beach coast. The film goes out to the desert for stunning vistas but people and gunfire keep on messing it up. It as if Oliver Stone is trying to make up for all the violence he couldn… Expand
Jul 10, 2012I reviewed the movie "Savages" and find it rather disturbing and somewhat confusing to watch at times. At a few scenes my eyes had wandered off. The movie starts off with two young men, one that I could remember tended the University of Harvard, and his course of study was in Biology. What a waste of time, because he did not do anything with that education, but grow lousy cannabis.That was such a waste of time tending such a prestigious college, who does not accept just anyone. The other guy is so prone to violence and utter rage he takes his bad temper out on others, which is the real reason his friend does not do the dirty work in their operation. Both men are operating an illegal cannabis organization. The Harvard college/ Biology major not have a mean and violent streak, but his simple minded friend sure does. Besides the confusing explosive scenes, and shootouts, and car chases all rolled up into one motion picture, I do not see the real point this film. But the real action happens when Mr Harvard biology major's and Mr. angry guy's girlfriend is abducted, and held as a hostage. The two men are dating the same woman. How the heck does that happen? They did get into an illegal business, mixed up with maybe another competing drug cartel, which I am sure, that is the main reason the girlfriend was abducted. The main man in charge don't want any competition messing with his business. And so the dope man taken something that belongs to them, since they are taking away the most important business he has in his life. And to top it all off, they got involved with a crooked FBI agent played by John Travolta, who's also got his hands full with the same cartel, and now he is really involved in the abduction of this woman, and is trying to call the cards of her survival. That so ridiculous!. Mr. dop man in total charge holds the girl hostage and tortures her. I do not know why the girl is so important to abduct and torture, because she's dating them both, and she's not either of their girlfriend. All I see in this movie is a lot of shootings, a few explosive scenes, violence, abduction, torture and bullying. The movie does not take you anywhere, well not me, not to the main point anyway. But all and all it is still better than wasting your money on "That's MY BOY"!… Expand
Nov 5, 2012Savages, a film by Oliver Stone, tends to be so over the top, you begin to wonder how the actors all keep a straight face. This is a film that's cheese ball, but doesn't know it's cheese ball. Those are the worst kinds of movies.
Dec 16, 2012Another comic book extrusion by Ollie Stone. The "violence" was so contrived, and the characters so manufactured, that it seemed about as real as an elementary school play, with little kids and plastic swords. Blake Lively as the hot babe? She's way over the hill. John Travolta again? Won't he ever go away, and do us the favor of keeping his bloated, cross-eyed, ferret-like mincing persona out of our collective view? And Salma Hayek with the Uma Thurman wig straight out of Pulp Fiction (a similar failed exercise in Hollywood cool-ness). How derivative can you get? I will say though that the movie got better after the 4th glass of wine.… Expand
Feb 12, 2013Too much exaggeration and commercialism. All the love-making and inhumane treatment of human bodies did not support the main point of the movie or at least, make up for the lack of real action. The kind of action is like throwing grenades and shooting big guns..nothing that requires too much skill (the way a real action film is suppose to be). This movie tried too hard to be sexy, scary, and hardcore.… Expand
Jan 20, 2014This film is horrendous and I was very surprised when I read the director was Oliver Stone. The worst part of it is, of course, the plot: trite and dull, where the only new thing we haven't already seen a million times is the double ending, which is an utter mess, so much so that I don't even want to write about it.
The acting is laughable, with the exception of Benicio del Toro who is, as usual, great in this simple-minded, one-way character he was given.… Expand
Jul 29, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the ones i wanted to die was the main characters they were totally ugly. Taylor's character is a sadist every torture scene he's smirking. Gosh i was hoping the shootout ending was what really happened. this is an unwatchable travesty … Expand
Nov 10, 2013Savages is, thankfully, a one off experience. I have never experienced such a poor film in my years as a movie goer. None of the characters are likable, the script is a mess and hugely disappointing and Oliver Stone seems to still think random transitions and filters are impressive. It is not the worst movie ever made, but it could potentially be the least enjoyable.
Nov 3, 2013The one most obvious flaw in the movie. These two guys would not even care if 'O' was executed in the drug world. There is no loyalty or love. These people are insane, period. No compassion. No morality code. I got it, it's a movie. Just not very good one. The ending was a complete cinematic disaster. If that was Stone's artistic 'See what a great screenplay writer I am' attempt, I am disappointed.… Expand
Dec 17, 2013This movie was lame. I'm disappointed in Oliver stone. The story is lame and very unbelievable. The acting was very stale. Will not recommend or watch again.
Sadly, Savages plays up to Stone's worst tendencies: machismo, bombast and self-indulgence, and the factor that could conceivably have made this movie tolerable – humour – is off the menu.
What could have been an effective excoriation of US drug policy and a proper look at the violence inherent in the trade is wasted on a simplistic thriller that offers very little, especially given who is behind the camera. Sorry if that harshes anyone's buzz.
Sep 1, 2012Savages is punishing in places, but there are enough colourful characters and careening twists to make it worth the effort.

John Frusciante on His Latest Solo Effort, 'Enclosure,' and Why His Days Onstage are Behind Him
August 01, 2014 at 11:36am
SteveK ;
I think that you totally missed what John was getting at. Music is NOT about playing in front of people. Most of the great composers of the last 200 years NEVER played in front of people. I am talking about Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and the other masters of composition. They may have played in front of people when they were little kids, they were all prodigies, but as adults, they did not. John is a composer, first and foremost. He is also a master of a particular instrument. This does not mean that in order to be fulfilled he needs to interact with an audience. He can express that part of his talent just as well by recording. That is what the great composers of the past did when they transcribed their music. They were allowing others to partake of their genius. In fact, performing was seen as something lower class, that is something done by workers. Musicians who did not compose, only played. The example would be some of the great sidemen of history, those who simply did not write the music they played. They added to the overall experience by their expertise, but they were not composers. Only in the last 100 years has 'performing' been something that people were greatly rewarded for. John Frusciante does not OWE me or you anything. He is saying, if you like my stuff, buy it, if you don't, that is cool too. He has made enough money to satisfy the requirements of life, and now he would like to simply be an artist. Without constraints on his art. I admire that about him.
April 03, 2014 at 10:41pm
So, THIS is what it sounds like when, one of the greatest rock guitarists ever, quits one of the coolest, most awesome bands ever, and plays around in his house, by himself, with Protools? Yay.
April 03, 2014 at 10:05pm
All the best John, do you man.
April 03, 2014 at 7:42pm
And this is exactly why I don't like and also mistrust John. Playing for people in front of people is the very essence of music. It's not about the perfect take that took 18 times to get. It's not about digital (or even analog) perfection. It's about touching people's mind and especially their hearts through real interaction and feedback loop. When you play something that touches them and look into their eyes and faces...THAT is real music and real life.
And sometimes you don't get that. Like real life you do succeed and you do also fail. Have to learn how to deal. Or you could do a bunch of drugs, or claim your personality won't allow it or any number of excuses.
John..play for us...play for the people TO the people. It's both amazing and heartbreaking but such is life.
April 03, 2014 at 10:03pm
I love John and wish I could see him play I see where you're coming from, but I also completely understand where John's coming from. I think you're being pretty obtuse here. John's definitely right about certain parts of performing not really being about the music, like appearance and such, and I definitely get where he's coming from as far as making music that makes him happy and not trying to play for a certain sound or audience. John also completely follows the direction that he feels at any given time which is why his playing sounds so different on each album, and which is one reason he's such a great musician, so I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually realized he wanted to play for an audience again. I don't think we've seen the last of John, and if we have I wish him the best and I'll still be listening to whatever he releases.

Enhancing Manufacturing Data Preparation and Output with Lean NPI
On-demand Web Seminar
During the Lean NPI process, engineers can enhance ODB++ data by adding extra intelligence to define exactly what is to be manufactured without the need for additional drawings and instructions. In this webinar, learn the benefits of adding further intelligence to ODB++ data and see how users can configure ODB++ for manufacturing output.
Duration: 22:20
As part of the Lean NPI process, engineers can enhance ODB++ data by adding extra intelligence to define exactly what is to be manufactured without the need for additional drawings and instructions. Valor NPI is used to build the "product model" definition that multiple suppliers can use to manufacture identical and correct products. This "master" ODB++ data can be used to configure and generate the final manufacturing output.
What You Will Learn
- Why ODB++ is the best practice, integrated, intelligent and dedicated manufacturing data output.
- How Valor NPI eliminates the need for drawings, instructions and product specifications.
- How users can configure ODB++ for manufacturing output.

Corruption... How can policymakers and practitioners better comprehend the many forms and shapes that this social pandemic takes? From the delivery of essential drugs, the reduction in teacher absenteeism, the containment of illegal logging, the construction of roads, the provision of water and electricity, the international trade in oil and gas, the conduct of public budgeting and procurement, and the management of public revenues, corruption shows its many faces. The Many Faces of Corruption attempts to bring greater clarity to the often murky manifestations of this virulent and debilitating social disease.
It explores the use of prototype road maps to identify corruption vulnerabilities, suggests corresponding "warning signals," and proposes operationally useful remedial measures in each of several selected sectors and for a selected sample of cross cutting public sector functions that are particularly prone to corruption and that are critical to sector performance. Numerous technical experts have come together in this effort to develop an operationally useful approach to diagnosing and tackling corruption. The Many Faces of Corruption is an invaluable reference for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers engaged in the business of development.
"As the title of this book reminds us, corruption has many faces: causes, dynamics, and consequences, all of which vary by sector and require precisely tailored countermeasures. The wrong reforms in the wrong place, or at the wrong time, may not only waste scarce opportunities and resources but in fact may do considerable harm. Demonstrating and tracking progress is equally complicated: country-level indices will not suffice, and more appropriate measures are needed to capture the realities of differing sectors and functions of government. This book offers an essential and accessible introduction to high-level knowledge and thinking about corruption issues, opening up a new debate and new lines of attack that will be important as anticorruption efforts move into their next phases."
Michael JohnstonCharles A. Dana Professor of Political Science, Colgate University
"Reducing corruption is a key to better services, justice, elections, regulation, and legislation...in short, to better institutions in government, business, and civil society. This excellent book provides examples, taxonomies, and inspiration for all who want to do better."
Robert KlitgaardPresident and University Professor, Claremont Graduate University
"The fight against corruption requires decisive action and shared commitment of governments, companies, development banks, and civil society. It is a difficult road that is often paved only as one goes. This book's effort to understand corruption and its particular characteristics in different sectors is an important contribution to the fight against corruption and one that we hope will lead to increased impact."
Huguette LabelleChair, Transparency International
"This book is an eye opener. But it does more than expose; it shows the way forward. The Many Faces of Corruption provides a taxonomy of the malfeasance that takes place in various areas of public life, ranging from education to the regulation of natural resources to the management of public finance. Although much of the evidence is sordid and dreary, this book also describes successes that give us hope that the battle against corruption can be won."
Sheila S. CoronelDirector, Toni Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism, Graduate School of Journalism, Columbia University
"It has become self-evident that tackling corruption is central to the development agenda. Dealing with the issue of corruption from a sectoral perspective has enabled this book to offer very specific and innovative ideas on this important issue."
Robert R. HunjaInterim Director-General, Public Procurement Oversight Authority, Kenya
"By equipping practitioners with a roadmap for tracking the vulnerabilities to corruption in various sectors, Campos and Pradhan have not only advanced research on the causes of corruption but have also provided policy makers with hope and a realistic strategy for minimizing corruption. This book should be required reading for policy makers, scholars, practitioners, students, and all those who are interested in making a difference in the difficult struggle against corruption around the world."
