MK Dov Henin (Hadash), chairman of the Knesset's Joint Committee on Environment and Health, warned of the dangers that glitches in pipe systems can cause and called for firmer regulations in response to Monday's explosion in the South."Time and time again we see that the status quo in the field of hazardous materials in Israel is forfeiting the lives and health of citizens, workers and bystanders," Henin said. "Glitches in hazardous materials are not inevitable and we can prevent them but in order to do this, a true revolution in regulations of this field is required."Such new regulations, Henin explained, should include high standards for hazardous material facilities as well as for all the transmission systems associated with the plants."I intend to convene the committee to discuss the accident that occurred and the lessons that need to be learned from it from corner to corner," Henin said.

"We were glad to help in organizing a special ceremony for Isabelle," said Susan Beckwith, Volunteer Services Manager at Riverview Health.

The Farmers Bank Hires Mary Dowling as Vice President – Commercial Lender
Frankfort, IN – The Farmers Bank is pleased to announce that Mary Dowling joined the bank on June 9, 2014 as a Vice-President – Commercial Lender. She will be working in the Fishers, Indiana office. Mary has over 25 years' experience in the Indianapolis area financial services industry.
Dowling graduated from Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri and received her B.S. in Business Management from the University of Maryland. After receiving her MBA from the University of Indianapolis, she joined Chase and worked as a Relationship Manager in Business Banking for 20 years. Prior to moving to Indianapolis, she lived in Munich, Germany for 6 years, and worked for the US government, Army, as a budget analysis and auditor, after which she moved to Indiana and worked for a pharmaceutical wholesaler as a sales representative for 5 years.
Dowling lives in Zionsville with her husband, Jim. She has one daughter who lives with her husband and 2 children in Indianapolis. Mary is a member of Advent Lutheran Church. In her spare time she enjoys working with The United Way and traveling with her husband.
The Farmers Bank is a $450 million asset organization chartered in 1876 with headquarters in Frankfort, IN. The Farmers Bank is locally owned and operated with 10 banking offices located in Central Indiana providing retail, business, trust & asset management, investment, mortgage, and electronic banking services. Member FDIC, Equal Housing Lender.
First Farmers Offers Fresh Approach, Old Values
First Farmers Bank & Trust (FFMR) offers its customers the best of both worlds: old-fashioned service combined with state-of-the-art banking products. Some call it "today's bank with yesterday's values."
And that's just fine with First Farmers, which is proud of its past and focused on the future. Based in tiny Converse, Indiana, it has been serving rural farming communities for almost 130 years. The bank remains committed to those customers, but it has also broadened its reach to include mid-sized communities
like Kokomo, Terre Haute, Marion and Huntington. And its banking expertise has broadened from the agricultural industry to commercial businesses of all kinds.
"We are committed to rural communities and have proven to be both a very progressive institution while retaining the core philosophy of community banking. At the same time, our service concept translates well to larger mid-size markets as well," said First Farmers President and Chief Executive Officer Gene Miles.
Today, First Farmers offers a range of services – from deposit and investment accounts to commercial loans and leasing – that its commercial and Ag clients need to succeed.
First Farmers' reputation has soared right along with the number of services it offers. American Banker magazine recently ranked the Top Community Banks in the nation based on average three-year return on equity. First Farmers ranked an impressive 13th in the country. It was the only bank in Indiana among the
top 75 and one of only three Hoosier banks in the top 100.
With assets of $1.2 billion, First Farmers has more than 50,000 clients served by 27 offices. It has locations throughout Hamilton, Johnson, Cass, Grant, Howard, Huntington, Madison, Marshall, Miami, Starke, Tipton, Vermillion, Vigo and Wabash counties in Indiana, and three offices in Coles and Edgar counties in Illinois.
First Farmers has been in growth mode lately, announcing in May that it is buying the deposits of nine BMO Harris Bank branches. It will acquire seven of the nine branch buildings and will assume responsibility for the employees of all nine branches, which are located in Marion, Logansport, Terre Haute, Farmersburg, Sullivan, Clay City, Brazil, Carlisle and Shelburn.
Last year, First Farmers entered the Indianapolis-area market when it bought four Bank of Indiana offices, including one in Bargersville in Johnson County. First Farmers has had a presence in Hamilton County since 1998 with an office in Sheridan.
"Expansion and growth is welcome but only if we remain true to our core mission of exceptional customer service. Our model works …so a consistency in approach is as important in smaller markets as it is in larger ones. This acquisition fits nicely with our history of supporting rural communities. We are confident our services and products will complement these types of
communities," added Miles.
While the availability of First Farmers' services is spreading to commercial enterprises big and small throughout the state, so is its full line of personal and financial planning services.
"It is imperative that a bank have a full complement of services and delivery channels today. We have to match our much larger competitors in terms of e-commerce and convenience. At the same time, we offer the added value of significant experience in the Ag industry and a comprehensive client relationship. We consider our client experience to be very reflective of a traditional banking model in the way we interact and communicate with our
customers," said Tade J. Powell, VP-Marketing & Public Relations.
Whether working with a business or a personal banking client, individual attention is the foundation upon which the bank has existed since 1885.
First Farmers Bank & Trust is proud of that rich tradition as a solid financial force with the highest of ideals. As First Farmers looks to the future, it will continue to focus on its strength of providing state of the art banking with old-fashioned service.

Additionally, if it's possible to be involved in anything more, he is responsible for the Library's Holiday Bazaar and Spooky Boo Halloween program, and also serves on the Sheridan Bluegrass Jam committee.
The Charity of the Year was awarded to the Sheridan First United Methodist Church Lunch Club. Seven years ago, Mary Lou Finchum and several other volunteers began a summer lunch program to provide meals to children in need in our community. The program grew from feeding not only children, but as the need became apparent, feeding adults in the community as well. This past summer, this charity served over 5000 meals! Approximately 30 volunteers per week prepared and served these meals, and many others donated food, money or prayers to aide this effort. Many of these volunteers came from other church families and even other communities. Today, this group continues to work tirelessly provide meals to the Sheridan community through their Daily Lunch Club.
The final award given out was to JBS United for Business of the Year. JBS United is a leader in the Sheridan community, and is involved in countless ways to help support the community, its events, and schools. The business has been a major sponsor of many Chamber events including the Annual Golf Classic, and the Chicken Noodle Dinner and also helped sponsor the Annual Dinner by purchasing a corporate table of eight guests. Whatever the need, JBS United has always been willing to provide resources to the Sheridan Chamber of Commerce. The business is also a major employer for the Sheridan community, and a major contributor to numerous community needs and initiatives such as the Harvest Moon Festival, Bluegrass Fever, Sheridan Main Street, Sheridan Community Schools and their sports teams, and much more.
Started with just two employees and $25,000 of money borrowed from family members. Today JBS United has over 325 employees manning eight grain facilities totaling over 20 million bushels of grain storage, nine feed mills, more research farms than anyone in the United States, and suppling customers throughout the United States and Asia.
The Sheridan Chamber of Commerce salutes these award winners and looks forward to many more years of working with them to improve the community and help those in need!
The next Sheridan Chamber of Commerce event will be the October Member Luncheon on Thursday, October 24th. Mayor Chris McBarnes of Frankfort, Indiana will be the guest speaker. Visit sheridanchamber.org/calendar to learn more about the event. Anyone in the community is invited to attend. The cost is $12.00 and RSVP's are strongly requested.

Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann Designates
Countryside Industrial Park as Shovel-Ready
Indianapolis, August 15, 2013 – Today, the Countryside Industrial Park located in the town of Sheridan was declared Shovel-Ready Silver by Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann via the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). The Shovel Ready Silver designation shows the business community that the 61 acre Countryside Industrial Park is ready for economic development.
As part of designating the site, Lt. Governor Ellspermann will be presenting a certificate to community leaders on Thursday, August 15 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. (EST) at the Countryside Industrial Park in Sheridan. This will give community leaders a chance to celebrate the certification of their new site and show appreciation to Duke Energy and WESCO for their assistance during the process.
"It's always positive news when communities are ready to move forward with economic development opportunities," said Ellspermann. "I look forward to seeing the growth that takes place in the near future and encourage new businesses coming to Indiana to consider Sheridan as a place to grow their companies."
To be declared "Shovel-Ready" a site must have a base level of defined boundaries with a clear title, established price, demonstration of executive level local government support, defined utility capacity, and provided documentation such as Phase I environmental assessment, ALTA survey, and wetland delineation.
A Shovel-Ready Silver site will have current documentation, proper zoning, infrastructure to the property line as well as no environmental or wetland considerations.
"We are pleased that the Countryside Industrial Park is ready for new growth," said Dax Norton, executive director of OCRA. "Sheridan has incredible potential and it is our hope that new businesses will choose to locate here. Their new site is a great way for the town to build capacity."
"This certification is very beneficial as Sheridan pursues a competitive edge to advance economic development," said David Kinkead, president of the Sheridan Town Council.
The goal of the Shovel-Ready program is to expedite the business location process by making the sites more attractive to companies and site-selection consultants who are looking to locate or expand their business.
The OCRA led Shovel-Ready program also works closely with the state's Fast Access Site Team (FAST), which is comprised of multiple state agencies, including Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM), Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC).
Please visit in.gov/ocra/2622.htm for additional information on the Shovel Ready program.
The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) was created by legislation in 2005, making rural Indiana a major focus for the first time. OCRA's mission is to promote community prosperity to strengthen Indiana's economy by providing capacity-building solutions to assure ready, marketable, and competitive communities for economic growth.

These energy savings will put money back in your pocket, while creating jobs and improving the economy and environment for all Indiana residents.
Residential Home Energy Assessments from Energizing Indiana are a smart approach to improve the comfort and efficiency of your home. All assessments can raise your home's performance, lower energy bills, improve in-home air quality and increase your home's value. Energy advisors will guide you step by step through the process to produce long-term, cost-effective energy savings by:
• analyzing your energy use — We will assess the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in your home to determine if they are operating efficiently.
• recommending appropriate weatherization measures — We also may inspect your home's air duct sealing, insulation levels and more to evaluate your home's energy consumption and heating and cooling efficiency.
• facilitating the direct installation of specific low-cost energy-saving measures— We will install CFL bulbs, energy efficient sink aerators and shower head(s).
Depending on your home's specific energy assessment results and what service recommendations are completed, you may reduce your energy use the very first month!
• Once your home's energy assessment is complete, you will receive a comprehensive report detailing what can be done to start saving energy and make your home more comfortable.
• Many times, a Residential Home Energy Assessment reveals that only simple and relatively low-cost improvements are necessary to achieve significant energy savings.
When you improve your home's energy efficiency, you'll see and feel the difference right away.

Sheridan Veterans Park: Contributions Still Needed but Work Underway by Volunteers
"Numerous maintenance initiatives were planned for the 2013 season," reports Parvin Gillim, Veterans Park Fund coordinator. "However, nothing would have been realized without the generous contributions of money and time from those that love Veterans Park," he added.
According to Gillim, Jim Godby, Godby Home Furnishings, offered a substantial monetary annuity to the park. The large park gazebo is now named the Godby Home Furnishings Performance Gazebo. In addition, Godby donated maintenance materials and has already given more than 100 hours of volunteer labor performing maintenance tasks at the park. With the help of Mary Ann Cooper, they have cleaned and stained the gazebo, park benches and picnic tables. He has washed concrete, mulched numerous planting beds, trimmed numerous bushes and pulled weeds. "Jim says that he likes the work but loves the park," Gillim reports.
The campaign to raise funds received an additional contribution from Hamilton County Commissioner Mark Heirbrandt. Gillim said, "Veterans Park is home to a beautiful cascading falls and Koi pond which is a favorite photo and meditation spot. The pond must be cleaned every few years at an estimated cost of $1,600. Contributions to the Veterans Park Fund helped to clean the pond this year and probably helped save many beautiful fish." Ongoing maintenance and care of the pond has been the voluntary commitment of Gene Leonard, Joe Bilby, and others for many years. This year, Gene seeks to train a new group of volunteers to care for the fish and the pond. Volunteers are welcomed to contact the Town of Sheridan."
Other elements in the park that were completed for the 2013 season include cleaning and mulching at the historic Boxley Cabin as well as cleaning, planting, re-configuring and mulching numerous planting beds throughout the park. The cabin, part of a former pioneer farm, was cleaned in April thanks to Ron Stone, Bill Stone, David Ogle, Phillip Pearson, Regan Kercheval, Phil Kercheval, Donna Jessup and Marty Hudson. Substantial amounts of time and labor have been generously provided by Regan Kercheval along with Roy and Judy Langdon in effort to maintain the numerous planting beds throughout the park. Gillim added, "Regan's ongoing volunteer work at the park is testament to her love of Veterans Park."
Gillim said that the enthusiasm for Sheridan Veterans Park has been steadily growing. "As a Vietnam veteran, Jim Godby feels a deep connection to Veterans Plaza and volunteered to maintain the plaza which includes cleaning the parade area and monuments, mulching the planting bed and trimming the shrubs. I am so impressed by his work at Veterans Park. We are tremendously fortunate to have Jim and others come forward with such unselfish commitment."
According to David Kinkead, president, Sheridan Town Council, "We couldn't do all this without our greater community coming forward to help. The budget crunch for small towns prompted a new level of citizen support. We have had master gardeners, Judy Langdon and Regan Kercheval, involved in the thought process that eventually triggered plant contributions from the Hamilton County Master Gardeners Association. Gradually, all of the volunteers have been readying the property for the summer season. It illustrates how a community can work together for greater good. In addition to the Veterans Park initiatives, the Sheridan Rotary Club continues to upkeep and make improvements at Community Park and the Sheridan Kiwanis Club is now pursuing improvements for the Monon Trail."
To make a contribution to the Veterans Park Fund, please send checks to the Town of Sheridan, Veterans Park Fund, 506 S. Main Street, Sheridan, IN 46069 or call: (317) 758-5293 for more information.

Score a Dream Room on a Dinky Budget
Good Morning America cohost Lara Spencer has a secret superpower: making homes look like a million bucks using only bargain finds and easy D.I.Y. projects. In her new book, Flea Market Fabulous: Designing Gorgeous Rooms With Vintage Treasures, she shares her magic with us.
Refresh your kitchen
This had a great layout but dated finishes. Here's how to fix one up without going in for a gut reno:
1. Paint the cabinets. I use a high-gloss paint because it doesn't scratch and wipes clean easily. Also consider renting an industrial paint sprayer (they're about $115 a day) to avoid brush marks.
2. Replace the backsplash. Bye-bye, beige. White ceramic subway tile is clean, modern, and cost-effective at around $3 per square foot.
3. Re-cover the chairs. The fabric you see came from vinyl shower curtains! It's cute, stainproof, and ideal for high-traffic areas and young kids.
4. Add unique lighting. I found these industrial-size whisks at a flea market for $70 each, then had them turned into pendant lamps. (Check out page 26 for a tutorial on how to do something similar.)
5. Install new countertops. You'll have to hire a pro for this one, but it's worth it: This new butcher-block countertop lends so much warmth. Just rub it regularly with butcher-block oil to ensure longevity.

'Seven Psychopaths': Crime comedy is a little too bloody clever
A review of "Seven Psychopaths,' a movie about the making of a movie with the same name as the actual movie. It's so self-referential and self-impressed with its own cleverness, as it comments archly on movie clichés and then indulges in them, that it comes off as a big inside joke. And not a very funny one at that.
Special to The Seattle Times
'Seven Psychopaths,' with Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Christopher Walken, Abbie Cornish. Directed by Martin McDonagh, from a screenplay by McDonagh. 109 minutes. Rated R for violence, language, sexual situations, nudity. Several theaters.
Martin McDonagh, the writer-director of "Seven Psychopaths," appears to have had a lot of fun making it. Maybe too much fun for the picture's own good.
Kindly follow along: "Seven Psychopaths" is a movie about the writing of a movie called "Seven Psychopaths." Its lead character is a screenwriter, like McDonagh, and he shares the same first name with the real-life writer guy.
In the movie, Martin, or Marty, as he goes by, is a heavy-drinking Irishman played by Colin Farrell. The real-life Farrell, an Irishman, was a notorious tippler in his time, though has since reportedly cleaned up his act.
As he works on his screenplay, Marty claims he wants to make a nonviolent movie about violence. He wants it to be about peace and love. He doesn't want any shootouts in it, prompting a pal to mock him: No shootouts? What? It's going to be a French movie? No worries. In the movie we see, there are lots of extremely bloody shootouts.
Another pal tells him he's terrible at writing women characters. They're not around long. "They all get shot or stabbed in the first five minutes," this pal observes. The women in McDonagh's movie fare only slightly better than that.
It's all so self-referential, so self-impressed with its own cleverness, as it comments archly on movie clichés and then indulges in them, that it comes off as a big inside joke. Though one not nearly as funny as McDonagh might have wished. Coming on the heels of his highly praised 2008 directorial debut, the darkly quirky hit-men-on-the-lam character study "In Bruges," it's a disappointing fizzle.
The cast is a Who's Who of actors known for playing characters who are archetypically strange: Christopher Walken, Sam Rockwell, Tom Waits, Harry Dean Stanton, Woody Harrelson. Waits plays a weirdo who strokes a white bunny while telling tales of his days as a serial killer of serial killers. Harrelson's character is a homicidal maniac intent on offing the person who dognapped his beloved shih tzu. Walken is a preternaturally calm dude with a stitched-up slashed throat. And so on.
McDonagh puts them up on the screen and let's them go at it. On my mark: 3, 2, 1 ... Weirdness!
As in, weirdness for weirdness' own odd sake.

I also got this as a magazine free gift and absolutely love it. I actually went and bought another magazine to get another one and am already planning a purchase of a full size one.I loved the colour and think it is a lovely natural shade with really moisturising texture. Just don't wind up the balm too much or it will break. Great to apply when you don't have a mirror!

I got this free with a magazine costing £2, so to be honest I wasn't expecting much. But I was pleasantly surprised, both by the texture and the moisturising quality. I have dry skin and work in a fully air conditioned office, and amazingly, this product works well. It is light textured and smooth and easy to apply, without feeling heavy or greasy. This particular shade is a very subtly pink one on my lips (which are naturally rosy) so it does not really stand out. So you do have to apply quite a bit and then keep reapplying. However, it gives a pleasantly polished sheen without the stickiness of a gloss (I hate it when my hair sticks to my lipgloss at the slightest breath of wind), along with subtly tinted definition. If you want the stronger definition of a lipstick, this isn't for you. As a tinted lip balm, it's great, if what you want is a more understated look for the office or for downtime. The colour doesn't last, but fades nicely and more importantly, it keeps moisturising and does not cause my lips to flake or dry out. The crayon shape is practical and fun to use - it feels like colouring in with crayons when you were a kid! However, you can risk smudging the top of the stick when you replace the cap as it is quite small. Overall, I was so impressed with this that I also bought the super strawberry (again splashing out £2), a rosier shade which gives my pale skin more definition, but if I was going to spend £17 (the full price for this product) I'd be more tempted to buy a MAC lipstick instead. Furthermore, there is no SPF, which is a bit disappointing as this seems to be more of a summer product than a winter one.

Awful product. Got it free in a magazine and feels like dragging a crayon across your lips. Very drying, no colour payoff, and the tip broken 2nd time I used it.
Shocked how far superior Rimmel's version is!
Do not buy, one of the worst cosmetic products I've tried.

I'd been wanting to try one of the chubby sticks for a long time, but wasn't willing to pay full price for one when I didn't know whether I would like it or not (17.00GBP is a lot of money for me to spend on a whim). So when I got this as a GWP I was very pleased and couldn't wait to use it!
This is a really lovely shade and balm, giving enough colour to your lips so you know you're wearing something, but not enough so that you look in the mirror and go 'Woah!!' I wouldn't say it's overly moisturising, even though it claims to be on the packaging, but it certainly doesn't make my lips any drier or dry them out completely so that's a bonus in my books. And if you want to add extra moisture, you could always apply a regular lip balm first before applying this.
Based on my experiences with this one I would now be tempted to go and purchase the full-sized versions, which says a lot about how good they are as I don't tend to spend 17.00GBP on a single lip product on a regular basis!

I really like this! I received sample with a Clinique purchase recently, which was good because I had been wanting to try them. The product does seem quite sheer, and its easy to think the colour won't do much. However I was pleasantly surprised to see soft pink lips every time I saw my reflection. It has a nice creamy texture - just what I need with winter setting in. When my sample runs out I will definitely purchase full size!

I really like the baby pink color.I have very pigmented lips so the color doesn't show up well. I have extremely dry lips so it doesn't moisturize my lips well. It's just this one didn't work out for me but I will have to test out the other colors.

You know how in movies, the actresses' lips look flawless and you're thinking "how do they have color on their lips without it looking caked on?".. Well at least I do haha and I think this is the secret. Adds just enough pigment to where it still looks believable, and adds just the right amount of gloss so your lips don't look overpowering. I actually use this as a lip plumper too. I don't know why but for some reason my lips look huge after I apply this. Definitely not a bad thing! Also, I love how it is in crayon/pencil form. It's very easy to apply. So yeah, this is definitely my go-to lip product. Have absolutely no complaints whatsoever.

There are absoloutely no problems with the chubby stick. It's not super pigmented but I like the sheer pink it gives and while others have said this highlights flakes and chappedness, I think it does the opposite and even fills in my lips some! This product is worth the price, which isn't bad at all, and I would definitely re-buy it if I ever run out!

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. - There was no slipup on the final lap this time, so Kyle Busch's victory celebration at Watkins Glen International was as sweet as it gets.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. imagined his Nationwide Series trophy was a chalice, tipped it back and acted like he was taking a big swig of champagne or beer - the beverages of choice for NASCAR winners and champions.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Denny Hamlin thinks most drivers don't respect Brad Keselowski, and the contempt stems from the 2012 NASCAR champion's refusal to show any remorse for his aggressive driving.
In the closing laps at Martinsville Speedway, Jeff Gordon could see Dale Earnhardt Jr. ahead of him with enough time to formulate a plan on how to handle his teammate if Gordon could catch him.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth look a bit out of place this late in NASCAR's Chase for the Sprint Cup championship with those zeroes under the column for wins.

- Summary: Based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name by John Burnham Schwartz, this is a compelling new dramatic thriller. A tale of anger, revenge, and great courage, the film follows two fathers as their families and lives converge. On a warm September evening, college professor Ethan Learner, his wife Grace, and their daughter Emma are attending a recital. Their 10-year-old son Josh is playing cello--beautifully, as usual. His younger sister looks up to him, and his parents are proud of their son. On the way home, they all stop at a gas station on Reservation Road. There, in one terrible instant, Josh is taken from them forever. On a warm September evening, law associate Dwight Arno and his 11-year-old son Lucas are attending a baseball game. Their favorite team, the Red Sox, is playing, and hopefully heading for the World Series. Dwight cherishes his time spent with Lucas. Driving his son back to his ex-wife, Lucas' mother Ruth Wheldon, Dwight heads toward his fateful encounter at Reservation Road. The accident happens so fast that Lucas is all but unaware, whereas Ethan--the only witness--is all too aware when a panicked Dwight speeds away. The police are called, and an investigation begins. Haunted by the tragedy, both fathers react in unexpected ways, as do Grace and Emma. As a reckoning looms, the two fathers are forced to make the hardest choices of their lives.

Connelly, in particular, soars as the nail-biting mother trying desperately to put on a brave face and keep her family together, while Ruffalo and Phoenix, two of Hollywood's best brooders, are excellent as wounded young fathers.
It's hard to watch two fine actors working themselves into a lather for so little reward.
The kind of movie that moves you to tears even as you resent the manipulative mechanics of the story.
The result is that, rather than tragedy, this unfolds like a plodding morality tale in which Wrath and Cowardice play out their respective parts.
Paints itself into a corner, creating a static situation in which everyone is either stymied or wracked by indecision, leaving the movie free for its two male leads to wallow in self-pity, remorse and bad behavior.

MorganW.Jan 31, 2009I think this is one of the best films of 2007. I disagree with those who think that there is no redemption in this story. It rivals films like The Believer in its portrayal of internal conflict, and it is a beautiful (and heartbreaking) study of morality. This film is undoubtedly worth seeing.… Expand
TrevorD.Apr 18, 2008Brilliant story line.

ChadS.Apr 10, 2008There's a small minority out there who felt that Todd Field's award-winning "In the Bedroom" went off the rails in the final act when the father of the dead goes after his son's attacker. Some believe, me included, that the mild-mannered father's pro-active approach towards justice was antithetical to his character, therefore, the ensuing premeditated violence seemed to have come out of the blue. In "Reservation Road", an irate father doesn't take the high road either, but you can see the payback from a mile away, and it might(or might not) be a bitch. "Reservation Road" is not a flawed film. It's a film with flaws, but not fatally so. The performances bear the weight of the many plot contrivances. In particular, Jennifer Connelly, who obliterates her sexpot past in a crying scene motivated by that most heartbreaking of epiphanies-I'm responsible for my child's death. She's not, and as the story progresses, Grace(Connelly) seems to have arrived at that conclusion. But here's the problem. While "Reservation Road" is busy showing us how Ethan(Joaquin Phoenix) reaches a mindset by which Dwight's days are suddenly numbered, the film neglects to detail Grace's inroads to the halfway house of her own making. Grace still mourns her son, but at some undocumented juncture, she stopped blaming herself. Connelly is so good here, you'll wish that "Reservation Road" didn't veer away from her road to recovery. The film takes leave of that bumpy thoroughfare and runs smack dab into another artery, Ethan's artery. When the boy dies, Emma(Elle Fanning) is consoled by her father. She's her father's daughter. Sean(Josh Learner) was his mother's son. Her pain, not his, should always be the focal point of "Reservation Road".… Expand
TonyB.Jun 17, 2008What could have and should have been a fine film is not. The main problem here is that the two nominal leads are its weakest links. Joaquin Phoenix is not able for a minute to evoke the sympathy and compassion we should feel for him. Grief is not depicted well when it becomes obsessive. Mark Ruffalo is so obviously the "bad" guy that one wonders if the people around him are in a coma that prevents them from seeing him for what he is. Jennifer Connolly's role should have been more fleshed out, especially since she has a clear grasp of what it is all about.… Collapse
PaulW.Apr 2, 20082 hours of the most ridiculous melodrama with no end in sight which becomes progressingly worse after half way. A hit and run tale is a sad one but surely this doesn't justify bludgeoning the audience with overwrought drama scene after scene after scene. While there is practically no story progression to speak of and no development in the 2 dimensional characters, the leaden script makes every bit of acting feel completely overdone. Any sympathy for the characters? forget it, they are merely cardboard soap-personae who don't exist in the real world and who soon become highly annoying as such. Cringeworthy at best, this lackluster storytelling-void will be forgotten soon and rightfully so. Do yourself a favor and see something else… Expand

Roberta Smith of the New York Timescalls him game-changing. Peter Schjeldahl of The New Yorker calls him the most consequential artist to have emerged since the 1980s. We call him the wired wizard of id. Ryan Trecartin, whose Any After is on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art, is surfing the wave of art world adulation with his epic series of seven videos filmed in the Big Mango. Identity, friendship, family, commodity and status anxiety, sexuality, back-stabbing, chameleon-like characters, and obsession with money are themes that repeatedly appear in Trecartins films produced here between 2009 and 2010 with the help of longtime collaborator Lizzie Fitch. Ryan creates humorous and intense narratives that push boundaries in regards to representation. People, places, and products blur, and subjective voices are mixed with that of advertising and pop culture, says Ruba Katrib, MOCAs associate curator, who organized the exhibit. At MOCA, Trecartin has transformed the entire exhibition space into quasi-domestic and outdoor settings so members of the techno-addled public can experience his manically edited, interconnected opus in a totally immersive environment. This Thursday, Trecartin will give an art talk at the museum, where he will speak about the inspirations behind his work and his creative process.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Danica Patrick says she won't be distracted by talk about her possible future in NASCAR or any other racing series.
The IndyCar driver responded to questions Thursday at Texas Motor Speedway ahead of the Bombardier Learjet 550k on Saturday.
If Patrick makes a move to NASCAR her preference would be to drive in the top-level Sprint Cup Series. Asked about the possibility of Formula One racing, she says she prefers to remain in the United States.
Patrick says she knew her future would be more prominent topic this year since her contract with Andretti-Green Racing is up at the end of the season.
While she expects to explore all of her options, Patrick is concentrating on trying to win IndyCar races, and that a "really good group" around her can handle the other stuff.

A guest blogger reports from Epcot!
"The Flower and Garden Festival was going on and it's always
nice to look at. I don't know if you are familiar with Epcot or not.
In the UK pavilion Twinings has a tea shop. They sell loose and
boxed teas (some that you can only get in the UK), a few Twinings logo
pieces (tea pots, cups, etc.) and a small amount of china. Behind the
tea shop is a garden. During the Flower and Garden Festival they
always do a special display. This year it was teas in cute tea cup
planters. I thought you might like to see my pictures."
Ginger continues, "Also take a look at the cute Flower and Garden Festival mug shaped like a flower pot. I love the butterflies on it. I met the artist that painted them and got her to autograph my mug."
"I also bought myself a tea for one set featuring Alice in Wonderland. I bought some Alice in Wonderland tea in Matter Hatter flavor. It's a loose black tea with flowers and fruit in it."
(Angela again. I haven't been to Disney in more than a decade, but seeing all these great photos sure makes me want to visit during the Flower and Garden Festival. Thanks so much for sharing, Ginger!)

Shot intended for wayward cow fells Va farmer
FLOYD, Va. (AP) -- A Floyd County animal control officer who said he intended to shoot a wayward cow is on trial for killing a farmer instead.
Jurors could begin deliberations Wednesday in the involuntary manslaughter trial of Garland Nester, who is accused in the May 29 killing of 75-year-old Paul Belcher near Meadows of Dan.
Belcher was assisting Nester round up the 850-pound animal when he was fatally shot by the 45-year-old defendant.
Defense attorney David Damico said Belcher's death was the result of a bullet ricocheting off the cow's right foreleg.
But prosecutor Clifford Hapgood said Nester shot at the cow in anger after he had chased the animal for an hour. He said Nester was negligent and "needs to be punished."
