Luscious Desserts Without Gaining A Pound!
Who doesn't like dessert? Okay, if I were to be honest, I'd have to say my waistline but come on, there's nothing like home made pies, cakes, and cookies like those that Grandma used to make. Okay maybe it was your mom or Aunt Mary, who'd let you lick the spoon or eat the cookie dough but aren't those great memories - ones worth bringing back?
here'sWell a way to bring that nostalgia to your home without compromising your waistline. Get the irresistible smell of home baked cookies, cakes, pies, and breads in melt away wax tarts, jar candles, and realistic looking pie candle and cake candles that are designed to bring you sweet thoughts and memories of those wonderful treats from childhood.There are many yummy candles and treats to try:
- freshly baked cake candles, pie candles, ice cream candles and cupcake candles
- home baked cookie wax tarts, candy wax tarts, and mini cake wax tarts

- old thyme primitive pantry cakes
- tempting faux bread loaves, biscuits, and croissants
All of these items come deliciously scented for your enjoyment.
So how do you know these candles really smell like the real deal? Well I'll be honest. Before I was a candle maker, I bought tons of candles because I simply love them. I love the illumination, but more so, I love the way a good candle can just draw you in. The problem was always getting a great smell through the first half of the candle and having a dud the second half. I threw more money away in the bottom half of candles than anyone should. So I designed a candle that would give the best of beauty and great scent to the finish! In fact, I'm willing to GUARANTEE that our candles will burn strong to the end or it's free!

Mars Exploration Rovers - Spacecraft
Each of the two Mars Exploration Rover spacecraft resembles a nested set of Russian dolls. The rover will travel to Mars tucked inside a folded-up lander wrapped in airbags. The lander in turn will be encased in a protective aeroshell. Finally, a disc-shaped cruise stage is attached to the aeroshell on one side and to the Delta II launch vehicle on the other.
Cruise Stage
The cruise stage provides capabilities needed during the seven-month passage to Mars but not later in the mission, such as a propulsion system for trajectory correction maneuvers. Approximately 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) in diameter and 1.6 meters (5.2 feet) tall, the disc-shaped cruise stage is outfitted with solar panels and antennas on one face, and with fuel tanks and the aeroshell on the other. Around the rim sit thrusters, a star scanner and a Sun sensor.
The propulsion system uses hydrazine propellant stored in two titanium tanks. Since the the entire spacecraft spins at about 2 rotations per minute, fuel in the tanks is pushed outward toward outlets and through fuel lines to two clusters of thrusters. Each cluster has four thrusters pointing in different directions.
The star scanner and Sun sensor help the spacecraft determine its orientation. Since the rover's solar arrays are tucked away inside the aeroshell for the trip, the cruise stage needs its own for electrical energy. The arrays could generate more than 600 watts when the spacecraft was about as far from the Sun as Earth is, and generate about half that much as it nears Mars.
The cruise stage also carries a system for carrying excess heat away from the rover's computer with a pumped freon loop and rim-mounted radiators.
Entry, Descent and Landing System
The system for getting each rover safely through Mars' atmosphere and onto the surface relies on an aeroshell, a parachute and airbags. The aeroshell has two parts: a heat shield that faces forward and a backshell. Both are based on designs used successfully by NASA's Viking Mars landers in 1976 and Mars Pathfinder in 1997.
The parachute is attached to the backshell and opens to about 15 meters (49 feet) in diameter. The parachute design was tested under simulated martian conditions in a large wind tunnel at NASA's Ames Research Center near Sunnyvale, Calif.
The backshell carries a deceleration meter used to determine the right moment for deploying the parachute. Solid-fuel rockets mounted on the underside of the shell reduce vertical velocity and any excessive horizontal velocity just before landing.
The airbags, based on Pathfinder's design, cushion the impact of the lander on the surface. Each of the four faces of the folded-up lander is equipped with an envelope of six airbags stitched together. Explosive gas generators rapidly inflate the airbags to a pressure of about 6900 Pascal (one pound per square inch). Each airbag has double bladders to support impact pressure and, to protect the bladders from sharp rocks, six layers of a special cloth woven from polymer fiber that is five times stronger than steel. The fiber material, Vectran, is used in the strings of archery bows and tennis racquets.
The lander, besides deploying the airbags, can set the rover right-side-up, if necessary, and provides an adjustable platform from which the rover can roll onto Mars' surface. It also carries a radar altimeter used for timing some descent events, as well as two antennas.
The lander's basic structure is four triangular petals made of graphite-epoxy composite material. Three petals are each attached with a hinge to an edge of the central base petal. The rover stays fastened to the base petal during the flight and landing. When folded up, the lander's petals form a tetrahedral box around the stowed rover. Any of the petals could end up on the bottom when the airbag-cushioned bundle rolls to a stop after landing. Electric motors at the hinges have enough torque to push the lander open, righting the rover, if it lands on one of the side petals.
Other motors retract the deflated airbags. An apron made out of the same type of tough fabric as the airbags stretches over ribs and cables connected to the petals, providing a surface that the rover can drive over to get off the lander. The side petals can also be adjusted up or down from the plane of the base petal to accommodate uneven terrain and improve the rover's path for driving off of the lander.
Nearly 4 million people have a special connection to the Mars Exploration Rover project by having their names recorded on each mission's lander. Each of the two landers carries a digital versatile disc, or DVD, containing millions of names of people around the world collected during a "Send Your Name to Mars" campaign, which ended in November 2002.
At the heart of each Mars Exploration Rover spacecraft is its rover. This is the mobile geological laboratory that will study the landing site and travel to examine selected rocks up close.
The Mars Exploration Rovers differ in many ways from their only predecessor, Mars Pathfinder's Sojourner rover. Sojourner was about 65 centimeters (2 feet) long and weighed 10 kilograms (22 pounds). Each Mars Exploration Rover is 1.6 meter (5.2 feet) long and weighs 174 kilograms (384 pounds). Sojourner traveled a total distance equal to the length of about one football field during its 12 weeks of activity on Mars. Each Mars Exploration Rover is expected to travel six to 10 times that distance during its three-month prime mission. Pathfinder's lander, not Sojourner, housed that mission's main telecommunications, camera and computer functions. The Mars Exploration Rovers carry equipment for those functions onboard and do not interact with their landers any further once they roll off.
On each Mars Exploration Rover, the core structure is made of composite honeycomb material insulated with a high-tech material called aerogel. This core body, called the warm electronics box, is topped with a triangular surface called the rover equipment deck. The deck is populated with three antennas, a camera mast and a panel of solar cells. Additional solar panels are connected by hinges to the edges of the triangle. The solar panels fold up to fit inside the lander for the trip to Mars, and deploy to form a total area of 1.3 square meters (14 square feet) of three-layer photovoltaic cells. Each layer is of different materials: gallium indium phosphorus, gallium arsenide and germanium. The array can produce nearly 900 watt-hours of energy per martian day, or sol. However, by the end of the 90-sol mission, the energy generating capability is reduced to about 600 watt-hours per sol because of accumulating dust and the change in sea-son. The solar array repeatedly recharges two lithium-ion batteries inside the warm electronics box.
Doing sport utility vehicles one better, each rover is equipped with six-wheel drive. A rocker-bogie suspension system, which bends at its joints rather than using any springs, allows rolling over rocks bigger than the wheel diameter of 26 centimeters (10 inches). The distribution of mass on the vehicle is arranged so that the center of mass is near the pivot point of the rocker-bogie system. That enables the rover to tolerate a tilt of up to 45 degrees in any direction without overturning, although onboard computers are programmed to prevent tilts of more than 30 degrees. Independent steering of the front and rear wheels allows the rover to turn in place or drive in gradual arcs.
The rover has navigation software and hazard-avoiding capabilities it can use to make its own way toward a destination identified to it in a daily set of commands. It can move at up to 5 centimeters (2 inches) per second on flat hard ground, but under automated control with hazard avoidance, it travels at an average speed about one-fifth of that.
Two stereo pairs of hazard-identification cameras are mounted below the deck, one pair at the front of the rover and the other at the rear. Besides supporting automated navigation, the one on the front also provides imaging of what the rover's arm is doing. Two other stereo camera pairs sit high on a mast rising from the deck: the panoramic camera included as one of the science instruments, and a wider-angle, lower-resolution navigation camera pair. The mast also doubles as a periscope for another one of the science instruments, the miniature thermal emission spectrometer.
The rest of the science instruments are at the end of an arm, called the "instrument deployment device," which tucks under the front of the rover while the vehicle is traveling. The arm extends forward when the rover is in position to examine a particular rock or patch of soil.
Batteries and other components that are not designed to survive cold martian nights reside in the warm electronics box. Nighttime temperatures may fall as low as minus 105 C (minus 157 F). The batteries need to be kept above minus 20 C (minus 4 F) for when they are supplying power, and above 0 C (32 F) when being recharged. Heat inside the warm electronics box comes from a combination of electrical heaters, eight radioisotope heater units and heat given off by electronics components.
Each radioisotope heater unit produces about one watt of heat and contains about 2.7 grams (0.1 ounce) of plutonium dioxide as a pellet about the size and shape of the eraser on the end of a standard pencil. Each pellet is encapsulated in a metal cladding of platinum-rhodium alloy and surrounded by multiple layers of carbon-graphite composite material, making the complete unit about the size and shape of a C-cell battery.
This design of multiple protective layers has been tested extensively, and the heater units are expected to contain their plutonium dioxide under a wide range of launch and orbital-reentry accident conditions. Other spacecraft, including Mars Pathfinder's Sojourner rover, have used radioisotope heater units to keep electronic systems warm and working.
The computer in each Mars Exploration Rover runs with a 32-bit Rad 6000 microprocessor, a radiation-hardened version of the PowerPC chip used in some models of Macintosh computers, operating at a speed of 20 million instructions per second. Onboard memory includes 128 megabytes of random access memory, augmented by 256 megabytes of flash memory and smaller amounts of other non-volatile memory, which allows the system to retain data even without power.

Infinity Blade for iOS free for a week
by John Keefer, shacknews.com, Feb 14, 2013 2:00PM PST
If the Unreal Engine-powered visuals of Infinity Blade were priced beyond your means, you can now pick up the game on your iPhone or iPad for free.
Regularly available for $5.99, the sword-fighting adventure is Apple's App of the Week, and is compatible with the iPad and most iPhones and iPod Touches. And as a special Valentine's Day bonus, you can equip a special "holiday helm" once you have downloaded the game.
"Infinity Blade remains one of the most popular games in the App Store and this is a great opportunity to invite new gamers into the Infinity Blade universe," said Donald Mustard, creative director for developer ChAIR Entertainment. Oddly, this sale comes on the heels of the recent news that Infinity Blade: Dungeons was being placed on hold.

Helping Toddlers Adjust to a New Sibling
Baby No. 2 is a big deal to little kids, who often feel jealous or confused. Parents can help them adjust with solo time and other tips and tactics.
When Marie Brown was 2 – and the center of her parents' universe – her mother brought home her newborn brother, who Marie received civilly, if not warmly.
But after 24 hours, enough was enough. "When's that baby going back?" she reportedly asked the next day, none too happy with his presence.
The brother stayed – and a second was added a few years later. But the story is part of family lore, and it points out that Brown, now a Sterling Heights mother of three, clearly understands what it's like to be foisted into the role of older sibling – and not be one bit happy about it!
Avoiding sibling rivalry
Too often, that initial unresolved hostility can evolve into problems that can punctuate family tranquility for years to come. When your children compete with each other and fight with each other, you've got sibling rivalry, says psychologist James Windell, author of Eight Weeks to a Well-Behaved Child.
"If you have a child who is 2 to 5 years old and have a new baby, this is a threat to their position as king or queen of the household," Windell says. "Most parents are sophisticated enough to know there is some jealously and some issues because of this. No matter what they do, they can't eliminate the jealously, and it can't be avoided."
When baby first comes home
Brown and her husband Paul dealt with the rivalry issue first-hand when their daughter Kaitlyn Grace was born. Their then-25-month-old twin sons Logan and Jordan were happy to visit mom in the hospital the day of Kaitlyn's arrival, but they showed little interest in their new sister. That day, it was all about mom hugging and kissing them – and baby Kaitlyn, in a crib nearby, was virtually ignored by her older brothers.
But within a few weeks, the boys were frequently acknowledging the baby's existence – and offering an occasional bit of brotherly love. Logan would come over to his mom while she was feeding baby. And, before heading off, he'd give his baby sister a little kiss. Jordan was cool with puckering up as well for the same routine, but not until asked.
That evolved into the boys wanting to help. Early on, when Kaitlyn was placed in a gently rocking baby swing, they took the opportunity to give it a playful push – that had Brown running back to the swing to slow things down!
"They decided they were going to swing her," Brown laughs, "but if they were allowed to push her the way they want, she'd be on the moon!"
Time without baby
It's a challenge, but Brown still finds opportunities to be with each of the older boys – and that, Windell says, is just what they need.
"Even though babies require a lot of time and attention, make time for the older child," Windell advises, "and make sure you're spending some time with them, one-on-one.
"Younger children are very self-centered, and it's all about them. Let them know they are not going to be supplanted by a baby," he continues. "Parents need to explain that they're not going to get rid of (the older child) and they will always love them. You need to quell some of the rivalry, anxiety and hostility."
An ounce of prevention
Preparing and reassuring the older sibling about the new baby is key, Windell says. "Tell them, 'We have a baby coming, and I know you will feel that everybody is paying a lot of attention to the baby, but we love you. We will always love you.'"
Brown started talking to her sons about their baby sister early in the pregnancy. "I would tell them every chance I could that 'There's a baby in Mommy's belly.'" That, along with assurances of her love for them, helped prepare the toddlers.
Time to adjust
Although the Brown family transition appears to be fairly smooth, there are some danger signals for parents to watch for, Windell says.
"It takes a while for adjustment and for the reactions to set in. A child who has been prepared may feel very optimistic, that this is going to be fun to have a brother or a sister."
But even for a toddler who's been well prepared for a new sibling, it may take a few weeks or months for him or her to adjust to the reality of what that means – and the new situation at home.
"A typical reaction may be 'Hey, this is an interloper,'" Windell adds. And "when eating habits or toileting habits regress, that's when you know you've got to do something about it and deal with it."

If You Don't Know, Then Test
Why testing promotions can help break down commonly held assumptions.
Recently I was sending out a series of email re-qualifications. The process is mercifully simple. I design them, send the html to the email dispatcher who loads it into the email equivalent of an electric toaster, and presto, out pops my email effort.
In addition to the html, I also have to provide a promotion code, the subject line copy and who the email is from—and hereby hangs the tale.
I changed the name of the email sender from the last time the email was sent in the belief that familiarity breeds contempt. It could be the very fact the email is coming from "Subscription Department" that is putting off the recipients from opening the email. I don't know, so I tested it.
But when I got the test, the sender name wasn't "Roy Beagley," it was still "Subscription Department." I was intrigued by this and called the person in charge of the email toaster, who said that it was not "considered good practice" to change the sender name. Always wanting to learn things, I asked how this conclusion was reached, was there a report, had someone done a test, who had discovered this and how? The answer was there is no report, no test and no discovery, someone once again decided not to let the facts get in the way of a good story and just decided this was the new protocol.
In an email promotion there are several things that could account for a bad response: bad copy or bad design being chief among them. There is also the spam filter that has decided certain words demand automatic banishment to the trash can—even though those words help sell subscriptions. The text-to-picture ratio has an effect on whether an email will eventually end up in the recipients' inbox or trash; can you imagine postal carriers deciding if they are going to deliver mail to you or not depending on whether they think there are too many, or too few words on an envelope?
I would also have thought who the email is coming from would matter too. A letter informing me I may have won $50,000 excites me; a letter with the letters "I", "R" and "S" causes my heart to go in to arrhythmia. An email from the "subscription department" may not excite me, but an email from "The Publisher" or "Xmag Subscriptions" or simply a name like, well, "Roy Beagley" may induce me to open the email. I don't know, that is why we test, and, based on those results, decide what is "considered good practice" rather than letting a good tale debase the facts.

"A child is born to innocence. A child is drawn towards good. Why then do so many among us go so horribly wrong? What makes some walk the path of darkness, while others choose the light? Is it will? Is it destiny? Can we ever hope to understand the force that shapes the soul?"Nobody is born evil (well, except maybe the Enfant Terrible). Something usually happened to push a villain down the path to villainy. And hey, mightn't that make an interesting story? Thus, we have the Start of Darkness, a Prequel Dark and Troubled Past where we find out how the main antagonist from the original story got to that point. This, naturally, is especially common with Fallen Heroes, who usually get a Downer Ending where they lose faith in themselves and/or humanity. This will be especially poignant if they Used to Be a Sweet Kid (see also: Freudian Excuse). Keep in mind that the reasons aren't always good ones, if there is such a thing as a good reason for turning evil. Much of the plot is often a Foregone Conclusion, often ending in The Bad Guy Wins or Pyrrhic Villainy; many characters are Doomed by Canon, which may require a full Kill 'em All to explain why they don't show up in the original work. May include a Bloodbath Villain Origin to signal the first emergence of the character's villainous side. Badly executed, this can be a part of a Badass Decay. Please note that this is about prequels and flashbacks that show a major villain's reasons for turning evil. If this is the subject of the main plot, you're watching a Protagonist Journey to Villain. Subtrope of Face-Heel Turn, which is when a good guy turns bad. Contrast Diabolus Ex Nihilo, when the villain's backstory is pointedly left absent. The Trope Namer is The Order of the Stick prequel Start of Darkness (see "Webcomics"), whose title is itself referring to the 1899 Joseph Conrad novel Heart of Darkness, which tells the story of the protagonist's journey down the Congo river to rescue the mysterious Mr. Kurtz, an experience that changed his entire outlook on life for the worse. Needless to say, this being a Prequel trope: Spoilers Ahead!

Group's dogged environmental work aims to clean up Pilsen
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com December 14, 2012 8:48PM
EPA testing site in Pilsen neighborhood at 957 W. Cullerton, former smelting plant that six years ago was found to be contaminated with lead, Tuesday, November 27, 2012. l John H. White ~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: January 17, 2013 6:42AM
The closer Maria Chavez got to her mom's Pilsen home, the thicker the smog got.
But when she looked back past her kids in her minivan's rearview mirror, there was "nothing," only blue skies, she remembers.
"I kept wondering, 'what?' It doesn't make sense."
A nearby metal smelter had been belching out toxins into the neighborhood for years — Pilsen's air quality was so bad that it would set off fire alarms.
But Chavez, who grew up in the neighborhood, never put two and two together until then.
That realization, more than a decade ago, set in motion a chain of events that led Chavez and her neighbors to form a group dedicated to cleaning up Pilsen's filthy air and contaminated land.
Today, the Pilsen Environmental Rights and Reform Organization (P.E.R.R.O, which means dog in Spanish), is a force to be reckoned with.
Ald. Danny Solis (25th) — who once ignored their calls — is on their side. The Environmental Protection Agency is trying to fix Pilsen's pollution problems and residents know they have a powerful voice speaking on their behalf.
"When we started this work, these issues of pollution in the neighborhood were just not well known," said Jerry Mead-Lucero, a co-founder of the group. "In the ten years we've been working on the stuff, there's much more awareness."
The group, which has 10 core members, meets once a week at the home of Leila Mendez — one of many residents who attributes her family's health problems to polluters including smelter H. Kramer and Co. and the coal-fired power plants, Fisk and Crawford.
Since their formation in 2004, the group of volunteers has turned the alderman into an ally, proved that some industry in the neighborhood was poisoning the air and educated the community.
Solis — initially an antagonist of the activists — eventually came on board after they helped force him into a runoff election in 2011 by highlighting his environmental record. The alderman then switched his stance and started working with them.
"They've convinced me in general of why it would be better to sort of see the vision they have not only for the neighborhood or ward, but for the city," Solis said of the group, with which he admits he once had "tension."
Last month, P.E.R.R.O called attention to a contaminated site near Walsh Elementary School. The U.S. EPA, which had not taken action on previous recommendations from the state, took soil samples from the Loewenthal Metals Corp. site and is awaiting the results.
Chavez, a stay-at-home mom who now lives in Bridgeport, and others from the group, put up caution tape bought at Home Depot and lined the perimeter of the lead-infested site with handmade signs warning residents to stay off the weedy lot.
The group also helped get an EPA air monitor installed at Perez Elementary School. It proved elevated levels of lead, attributed to the H. Kramer plant, and the Illinois Attorney General's office sued the company, which agreed to reduce emissions.
The group meets with the state's EPA regularly. "They bring things to our attention. We cannot monitor every facility 24 hours a day seven days a week," said Ken Page, Illinois EPA Environmental Justice Officer.
People who work with P.E.R.R.O point to the group's tenacity.
"It's a very big inspirational story. They could have been another one of these organizations that pops up … (then) just fizzles out after a couple of months. They stuck it out," said Brian Urbaszewski, director of environmental health at Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago.
For all that they've done, the group knows they have a lot of work to do. Mead-Lucero, the first paid staffer of the group thanks to a Sierra Club grant, points to the sites of the coal-powered plants — both of which are shuttered. The group is helping decide what will happen at those sites.
And he knows Pilsen isn't the only community that needs this kind of work.
"I think there's a reason why the North Side of Chicago is a lot cleaner generally and has less pollution problems," he said. "There's a lot of neighborhoods that probably also need this attention."

World Class Finance
Today's CFOs are under increasing pressure - not only must they respond to challenges such as globalization, mergers and acquisitions, and fulfill expectations around shareholder value; they also must be compliant with increasingly prescriptive regulations.
HCL's World Class Finance (WCF) practice supports the CFO by addressing the fundamentals of the Finance Function - transforming it from a backward-looking, number-crunching organization to one that is future-oriented, focused on providing value and acting as partner in business decision making. In doing this, we transform both the service delivery model and the finance processes, whilst highlighting the costs of constraint.
Furthermore, HCL will help CFOs extract value from their Internal Controls compliance by leveraging the initial detective work and using this as a platform to drive best practice design.

Brother gives you the power to make your own RFID tags
RFID tags aren't just for Big Brother anymore! If you have a hankering to track objects and/or people, this new Brother printer allows you to make the wireless radio tags for whatever nefarious uses you can dream up.
For example, you could hide a tag under the soles of your kid's sneaker and then set up a sensor at the front door. Every time he came home, you'd have a record. That way, if he claims he came home before curfew but you know he missed it my 10 minutes, you've got the evidence to dole out the appropriate punishment. Now that's parenting!

A list with film titles that could easily have been titles of porn movies.
Got any more?
Rent or Buy From $3.99 / $12.99
Play on Instant From $3.99 Buy on Disc From $7.85
2010 Directed by Joseph Guzman
Upon taking her vows to become a nun, Sister Sarah is abused, brainwashed and drugged into submission by the corrupt clergy. On the verge of death from a lethal dose of drugs, Sister Sarah receives a message from GOD telling her to take vengeance on all those who did her wrong. Armed with God's will and an arsenal of big guns, she dispenses Judgment Day on her former tormentors. When the church hires the merciless motorcycle gang the "Los Muertos" to track down and kill her they soon realize that this SISTER IS ONE BAD MOTHER.
Not as fucking awesome as the title suggests.
"I'm gonna nail you harder than they nailed Jesus to the cross."
Watching this film is like watching some cheap knock-off of a Robert Rodriguez movie. It had the feel of one, but none of the charm.
I also have to admit, I was a little disappointed in the title. Sure there were plenty of nude nuns in this film and there were nuns with big guns, but I don't ever recall both at the same time (except one very briefly at the end).
Having said that though, this was definitely a fun watch for a mindless action/titty movie. If you've got nothing better to do on a Sunday morning, why not spend it watching a nun movie?
Whilst the film delivers the nude nuns and big guns of its evocative title there is a distinct lack of fun to be had in this exploitation flick. Instead it is a sleazy, but never shocking, procession of bare breasts, poorly choreographed sequences of bloody vengeance and the obligatory scenes of lesbian sex.
The film fails to tell a compelling story, throwing too many forgettable characters into the mix, and relying solely on the title to attract an audience. Only David Castro as the leader of a biker gang seems to realise he is in a silly exploitation movie and has a bit of fun with his exaggerated performance. There have been a lot of bad modern exploitation flicks and Nude Nuns with Big Guns is another to add to the list.
Finals week has made me do terrible things
1 Star for a wacky title that makes me chuckle! I love how it rolls off my tongue :-)
1 Star for gratuitous grindhouse style sex and violence against nuns (From an Ex Catholic who felt the wrath of the ruler)!
Movie 3 of the Evening of Bad Taste:
After the two Japanese splatter movies we went for the most downloaded movie in history...Nude Nuns with Big Guns (you may guess why it is one of the most downloaded movies...)
For me it was the second viewing of this nunsploitation grindhouse revenge flick, and yes it still remains bad but in a good way. Viewing it together with a couple of beers we had a lot of fun with this.
Clearly the scriptwriters needed to get something off their chest or either they simply don't like nuns.
This is a review from an old blog I used to write for, I want all my reviews in one place on Letterboxd!
Things sure have started to slow down here on The Movie Goer so its time to turn around my lackluster attempt to be a film critic and give everyone a glimpse at a seriously awesome little flick I was fortunate to see (it was the world premier even!) at the Arizona Underground Film Festival last year. I mentioned in a previous post about the film festival that Nude Nuns was one of the most bad-ass films I have seen on the big screen and after watching it a second time I still stand my ground and would…
As the name suggest, a girl dressed up like a nun, ready to take revenge with her big guns. This is an overwhelmingly stupid film. This is a kind of film that believes that nudity, overdose vengeance, drug selling and a biker gang can make up for the lack of story. For some moments, i thought, it's just a porn film with a little story.
Huh! They call it 'Nunsploitation Thriller' film. What kind of genre is that?...
In the final scene, director ended the film with an idea for a sequel. But Mr. Director (Joseph Guzman), please end this here. No need to make such another film.
Acting : 2 out of 5
Direction : 1 out of 5
It was on TV so why not?
Watched on Netflix Instant
I like nudie movies, nunsploitation films and biker flicks, with a title like this how can you fail! Tell us Joseph Guzman, how did you fail so bad. The story was weak, the production value weaker and the acting, well I blame you Guzman. Actually the plot is actually your standard revenge film so I'm a bit lost how you screwed this all up, it's just such a bland film with so much potential exploitation gold wasted, if you had spent just a little less time and money on the naked lesbians (my god am I really saying this?) and a little more time focused on telling the story you could have been my new hero!
I honestly don't know what to say about this film. The first five minutes sets it all up. If you can get that far and not have turned it off, then the rest of the film will probably be to your liking.
The director, Joseph Guzman obviously has big issues with the Catholic Church. Issues so big that this film should have been called "Nude Nuns With Big Guns who have big issues with the Catholic Church." I was really surprised no one "fornicated" or was sacrificed on a church altar. Maybe they're saving that visual treat for the sequel... And I'll probably watch it.
I hate to drag out that old cliché but I do think this is one…
It's full of despicable characters doing despicable things without the sense of fun that the films it is emulating had. That said, I still quite like it. Make of that what you will.
Nudity? Yes, plenty. Guns, ditto. Yet somehow this charmless, witless, thoughtless, crass and stupid waste of time had no redeeming features. Might have made a good 10 minute short if it was 81 minutes shorter and less shit.
Its a bad copycat of rodriguez bad movie, but this movie is even worst. You can hear the filmmakers rip-off the grindhouse soundtrack in this movie. Every character in this movie in this movie are unlikeable. The more I type, the more i hate this movie
A list with film titles that could easily have been titles of porn movies.
Got any more?

Martin Sandbu's opening salvo: is there a long-term case for higher taxes?
By David Gardner
I broadly agree with Krishna Guha but would like to address briefly two points he raises: on intergenerational equity; and the desirability of revenue neutrality were we to introduce a carbon tax.
Given the depth of the fiscal hole we're in [and sinking], there is going to be an element of inequity, especially towards future generations, implied in the scale of what is required to rebuild and consolidate public finances. Unpalatable, but inevitable.
I don't really see, therefore, how we are going to insulate fiscal policy from ideology. As we said in an editorial on Monday – Spending choices – to the extent that these decisions are now about choice, very hard choices about taxes and spending, they are inescapably a contest of ideas. The fact that the two main parties in the UK, for example, so frequently prefer to trade in irrelevance does not make that less true.
Which brings me on to the carbon tax. Krishna says:
"I think the odds of creating such a multigenerational and crossparty commitment to a policy regime would be much greater if the regime is net revenue neutral and therefore at least partly insulated from the normal left versus right politics around tax and spending".
I used strongly to agree with that. But, as I said above, we are definitely not entering an ideology-neutral period. On revenue-neutrality: the last time the idea of a carbon tax appeared to have a fair wind behind it (it came close-ish to becoming EU policy in the early 1990s) an underlying idea was that it would help improve European competitiveness and create jobs by, e.g. using revenue collected to reduce payroll taxes, taxes on jobs.
That revenue neutral approach is still right; but the timing is not.
Were a carbon tax to be introduced, the initial trade-off would have to be its investment in the public good (especially for future generations) of the environment. Once public finances were restored, this stream of green revenue should then be used for reductions in some areas, and increased spending in others.
Finally, given the very large sums we need to raise, and the imperative to address climate change, if not now for a carbon tax, then when?

Learn from the Inventors
A burr clinging to clothing, the sight of birds
soaring in the wind, the grooved surface on the
bottom of a dogs paw--these everyday natural
phenomena inspired such varied inventions as Velcro®,
human-powered flight, and deck shoes.
Many inventors, even those working with highly
mechanical tools and materials, have borrowed
from nature. Sometimes this is a deliberate technique,
as in turbine inventor Roman Szpurs observation
of the way wind circulates around curved surfaces
like feathers or eggshells. At other times, the
natural world serves as a place for reflection
and daydreaming, as did the bluffside dreaming
place where the idea of the telephone came
to Bell.
The inventors in this section demonstrate the
ability to make imaginative and unlikely connections,
a skill all of us begin to develop in our early
efforts at make believe and pretend play.

Impossible to Come Down From the High
Maryam Elarbi
June 28, 2012
A person without diabetes reading that title would probably think I was going through some awesome life experience and filled with happiness and euphoria. Unfortunately for me, I'm referring to a literal blood sugar high that I could not come down from yesterday. I was so frustrated that in the midst of the highs I knew I'd write a blog entry about it, but I couldn't actually sit down and write it until my frustrations dissipated a bit.
After breakfast my blood sugar was a whopping 294. Definitely high, but I figured, all right — correct, drink some water, no biggie. Almost two hours later I checked again and it was the exact same number, 294. I was a bit unsettled at that point but figured hey, I'm about to hit the gym so there's no reason to sweat it. (See what I did there?)
An hour later after really sweating up a storm I knew I finally came down! I confidently marched over to my gym bag, whipped out my meter, and checked. Believe it or not I was…294. I was so shocked that I convinced myself for a second that my meter was broken. How on earth was it possible that I not only was still high, but that I was the exact same number three times in a row?! I'm serious. I wasn't 297 or 299…no. It was 294 three times in a span of 4 or 5 hours.
I committed what I vowed to never again commit…the angry bolus. I started to eventually come down, but ended up needing to change my site despite having done one the previous day. I really hate changing my site before at least two days are up. I feel cheated.
Some things I learned from this though. One, I really need to work on my site rotations. Thankfully I'm not particularly averse to putting sites in one area or another, but I get lazy. I keep using the same two areas over and over completely out of habit. If I don't consciously remind myself about rotating where I put my sites, I just don't do it.
And two, I need to get back on my blood sugar monitoring and control game. Ever since finishing my semester I've had way less structure in my day to day, so it's become all too easy to get lazy. It's not only a problem because it's affecting my sugars, but it's also making these blog entries harder to write. I don't want to sit and talk about being lazy! I want to be able to share my accomplishments and success in terms of control. Alas, I suppose it's only human nature to fall into a rut every once in a while.
As of the last few days I've really made the commitment to reestablishing some structure. I finally got a new sensor, so I'll be putting that in later today. Can't wait to see how much information I'll have now versus just monitoring every few hours. Aside from the diabetes regimen, I applied for a job at Barnes & Noble (I LOVE book stores) and was offered a potential internship, so things are really starting to look up! Having a job and/or internship will force me to legitimately establish a routine and that I know will help me get back on top of things with my sugars!
The children are so LUCKY to have FAMILY, cause Family support is a major part of a good diabetes team. Our daughter has been a pumper since Oct of 08 She is now soon to be 13 She was 8yrs old! can't imagine how people handle it with young childern. What I am trying to say is Look up a DOCTOR by the Name of Steven Ponder He is in Odessa Texas He has a Program called House calls He is a Very speical DOCTOR he has been diabetic since the age of 9 He saved our Machera and tought us how to help her in all the right ways
Posted by: John | Jul 09, 2012 09:53 PM

Editor's Blog
Sam Diener, editor of Peacework Magazine, muses on global thought and local action. He will also highlight the online musings of the authors of Peacework Magazine. Please read the guidelines of Peacework's blogs and forums to participate in the discussion.
This post repeats the content of the list at http://www.peaceworkmagazine.org/blog/military-recruiting-abuses-... but with the youtube videos embedded in this page.
Military recruiters have a quota, or what they call a "mission," specifying how many people they're expected to enlist each month. When they don't reach their quotas, they're often pressured intensely, ordered to work overtime, and threatened with career-ending consequences. Not all recruiters lie, but lies by military recruiters aren't the exception, they're common. ABC in New York, for example, sent hidden cameras into recruiting stations in 2006 and found 5 of 10 recruiters they taped lied on camera (see item 10). After all, how many recruiters could provide full disclosure about the horrors of war, the psychologically devastating costs of killing, or the nature of military life (How would you like to get ordered around 24-7?), and still meet their quota? I hope this helps explain some of the the motives of the military recruiters caught on tape lying below.
These abuses also aren't new. There was a Beard Commission report which documented widespread military recruiter abuses back in the late 1970s. Every time the corporate media, the GAO, or Congress does another perfunctory investigation, for decades the Pentagon has repeated the same lies: you found a few rotten apples, we're investigating abuses, we're implementing new policies designed to root out abuses. But the system of pressuring military recruiters to make "mission" continues.
Even when military recruiters don't overtly lie, I still oppose both the specific wars they're recruiting for and object to organizing people to kill other people on principle. One fact only a very rare recruiter mentions before they have the recruits' signature on the enlistment papers: once a person takes the oath at the Military Entrance Processing Station on the day they ship off to boot-camp, the military's a job that is illegal to quit - and it can be very difficult, and sometimes virtually impossible, to obtain a discharge.
When people in the military who are now in crisis call me [I volunteer with the GI Rights Hotline (www.girightshotline.org, 877-447-4487)] and tell me about the lies their recruiter told them in order to induce them to sign up, or to illegally coerce them to go to basic training even though they had second thoughts while in the Delayed Entry Program (see items #2 and #15, for example), I'm reminded of the costs, in sheer human misery, of both military recruiting abuses specifically and preparing for and fighting wars in general.

Turner Watson: 5/5 Stars
Hoo-boy, was I looking forward to this. Sierra Nevada has been one of the Gold Standards of IPA brewing for years. But a "Red" IPA? Looks red. SMELLS red (if that makes any sense.) The head is nice and foamy, like am oatmeal stout. And the taste? Everything I'd hoped for. The trademark hops are there, but cut back a bit by the sweetness of the malts. A bit of caramel and barley wage a war of awesomeness with the hops and bitters. IPA fans and amber lager fans shouldn't miss it.
John TheMexican:2/5 Stars
IPA's are IPA's as far as I am concerned. I am not a fan. This one did nothing for me. But then again it is very rare that I do dig an IPA. It was a little more full bodied than other IPA's. I could have drank it with a spoon. So there is that.
Barry Thickk: 0/5 Stars
Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, Another IPAss except this one was red... whoopdy doo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
That's the most beautiful book for a young child that I know of. It perfectly expresses the mother's love. I enjoy reading it every night before my daughter goes to bed. I started to read it to her over a year ago when she was only two years old, and now she can read it with me. It has created a special bond between us. I highly recommend this book to any loving mother...

3.0 out of 5 stars Go right to the big-kid version
Yes, yes, it's a wonderful story, full of love and warm cozy feelings, and of course it brings tears to my eyes every time I read it . . . but there are too many words, not enough colors, and it's just not interesting enough for a very young child. We read several books a day in our house (sometimes several dozen), but, as patient as he is, my son just won't sit still...

I started to read it to her over a year ago when she was only two years old, and now she can read it with me. It has created a special bond between us.

In addition to that I also recommend a book series titled "Why Some Cats are Rascals ( Book 3)" containing lovely and inspiring stories for older children. My other recommendations go to:

5.0 out of 5 stars Expresses a mother's love perfectly,
By A Customer
My mom bought this for me as a gift after my first son was born. I had to go back to work when he was 3 months old. She gave it to me one weekend and I sat and read it and just started crying. It was when I read that last line--I love you all the way to the moon and back--that really touched me. It made me realize how much I was missing my baby boy during the day. I also noticed that Big Nutbrown Hare waits until the little one is asleep to say the last line. That also reflects how much a parent loves a child. He would never want to outdo his baby just because he's bigger. He let Little Nutbrown Hare go to sleep thinking he won that little game. What a sweet, sweet story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not competetive,
By A Customer
This is a sweet, loving introduction to a familiar game that many parents have played with their child. I can't see it as being about competition. Perhaps some of the negative reviewers never played the game of "Guess how much I love you". But it was a natural part of childhood for my children. It wasn't about competition, it was about creativiity--thinking of ways of expressing love bigger than ever before. I wouldn't dream of trying to "oneup" my children. I just liked the silly answers we would come up with in playing.
To all the naysayers, the last line of the book is ALL about letting the child "win". The father waits until the child is asleep in the assurance he has come up with the unbeatable answer, "I Love you all the way to the moon!" But as he sleeps and the father looks at this bundle of miracle that has been bestowed upon him he says what he feels, "I love you all the way to the moon, and back". The child doesn't hear this. The father is just expressing a love he can't even define it's so big. That's not competetive or mean spirited, it's a wonderfully realistic portrayal of having a feeling of love so big that you know there is nothing bigger.
The pictures are great. I wouldn't go board book. This book is better for older children.
Buy it and enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guess How Much I Love You!,
By A Customer
This is my daughter and my favorite book. She is 31/2yrs. old and we enjoy reading it every night before she goes to bed. I started to read it to her a year and a half ago when she was two years old, and now she can read it to me. It has created a special bond between us. It has to be the last book we read so she can dream about hares and her mommy and how much we love each other. We often play a game about guessing how much we love each other. She will jump as high as she can or spread her sweet little arms out as wide as they will go. I just want to thank Sam McBratney for touching our lives in such a special way. Also, I would like to thank him for the wonderful memories he has provided for me and my daughter. I know I will remember it forever, I hope my daughter does as well. Thank you Sam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Appealing on many levels-a great book for toddlers.,
David J. Gannon (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
There is a lot to like about this book. First of all, it has a very positive love message for fathers and sons, not all that common a theme in children's books. Secondly, the sort of "one-ups-man-ship" theme is on that naturally appeals to kids that age. The story itself is sweet without being cloying, and the illustrations are first rate.
A great book for older pre-schoolers. As has been noted in many previous reviews, reading the book seems to stimulate a "how much do you love me" game with the kids and parents who read the book a lot. Given that the desire to be loved is one key need at this age group, a book that stimulates you to talk and play with your child in a way that distinctly communicates your love for him/her has got to be a good thing.
This is one of those books your kid's will grow out of before you do-much to your sorrow.
I highly recommend it.

Alison M Hunter (Ridgewood, NJ) - See all my reviews
I love reading this story to my children. I bought it when I was pregnant with my first child and I cried when I read it. It is so sweet. I still tell my son (4years old) that I love him to the moon and back. He loves it! And so does my 2 year old daughter. Fabulous, sweet story for your children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still brings tears to our eyes,
K. Bennett (Rolla, MO USA) - See all my reviews
In this tender story about a father putting his child to bed, Sam McBratney effectively conveys the depth of the love I feel for my own children, but am often unable to put into words. Little Nutbrown Hare wants to tell his father, Big Nutbrown Hare, just how much he loves him, but no matter what measure Little Nutbrown Hare chooses, his father always loves him more. For example, Little Nutbrown Hare loves his father as high as he can hop, but Big Nutbrown Hare loves his son as high as he can hop, and he can hop much higher. Finally, the tired little rabbit tells his father he loves him right up to the moon. Big Nutbrown Hare kisses his son good night and whispers, "I love you right up to the moon-- and back."
Anita Jeram's pen and ink and watercolor illustrations of father and son gracefully capture the love they feel for each other. She hasn't drawn the typical cute little bunnies found in many children's books; she's drawn creatures capable of expressing emotion. The expression on Little Nutbrown Hare's face as he's falling asleep is one I've seen on my own children. Her pictures also show an incredible range of movement, from stretching arms as high or as wide as possible to very gently kissing a sleeping child on the forehead.
This is one of my favorite books. It's a standard part of any "new baby" gift I give, and everyone who has received it from me tells me that they cried when they read it. I still cry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very sweet book about love,
M Diaz "MomofSon" (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
I think this book is so sweet about how much a father loves his son. I am amazed at the two one-star reviews, I mean, how cynical can you get? So what if the father declares a greater love for his son (the bunny is sleeping at the time, if that makes you feel better)? It is actual very natural. As for the author's use of "sophisticated words", what word gave you trouble, thornbush or nutbrown?

5.0 out of 5 stars Love unlimited - a powerful message for children,
Adelie "Adelie" (Nevada City, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I was browsing through the children's department of my favorite local bookstore, looking for a gift, when this title caught my eye. I settled down on the floor for a read, and fell in love.
Big Nutbrown Hare is getting ready to put Little Nutbrown Hare to sleep for the night, when Little challenges him to guess how much he loves him. Little stretches his arms wide and says, "This much!" Big stretches his arms even wider and returns the love. Little keeps finding bigger and bigger ways to express his love for Big, and each time, Big outdoes him by virtue of his greater size. Finally, Little has to stop and ponder, and then triumphantly claims that his love for Big goes "all the way to the moon." That's a lot, Big concedes, and satisfied, Little settles down to sleep - and misses Big's whisper that he loves him "to the moon and back."
For children anxious about being loved, I can't think of a better story to illustrate how limitless their parents' love really is. No matter how much you love me, Big is saying, I love you that much and more. A comforting message, and one that Little can sleep on.
One of the things that makes this book unusual is that both hares are male. There is no lack of books about the love of mothers for their children, but Daddy-love is harder to find. I love the message here.
The pen and watercolor illustrations are wonderful. The animals are perfectly drawn - not cutesy, not cartoony, they are big rangy hares, with remarkably expressive faces. No cute little fluffola bunnies here...
I recommend this book as a valuable addition to your children's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son's first book, I read it to him even before he's born.,
By A Customer
Very sweet, touching and reflects the love that my baby is born with. When I was pregnant with my now 5 month old baby boy, my husband and I bought this book and every now and then I read it to him. I was deeply touch by it that I often end with tears in my eyes wishing I could cuddle him at that time. And now, we enjoy reading it together at bedtime while I feel every words, he enjoyed listening to me and looking at the cute pictures.We always ended up,together with my husband, the three of us cuddling each other. It's a perfect book for babies to begin with and also for parents to grow old with...unconditional boundless love. I love you Babes and Pumpkin pie right up to the moon and back!!

Empire State Winter Games
February 5, 2014 - John Stack
The Empire State Winter Games are this week (just as the Olympics start in Sochi Russia). Because of our history as an Olympic site, some things may be taken for granted. The ESGs might be seen as just something else that happens here, and that it will always be here. That is not true, as 4 years ago, the State pulled the plug on sponsoring the Games. The Games were almost cancelled. But, the Olympic Region stepped up. The same can't be said for the Summer games, which haven't been held since NYS pulled its sponsorship. But now, many local businesses, ORDA, Lake Placid, ROOST and North Elba are all much more involved in continuing on the Winter Empire State Games.
The Winter Games are much more associated with Lake Placid than any summer games venue has. It's also a bit of location – not many places have all the winter sports venues all within a few miles of each other and the ability to house all the athletes and families. Plus, yeah, the 1980 Olympics were held here. Why else is it special? Nearly no other state has a Winter Games (I'm not sure if anyone else actually still has one). The villages of Tupper Lake (Women's ice Hockey) as well as Saranac Lake (Cross Country skiing at Dewey Mountain) and Paulmiths (ski orienteering and snowshoe races)are also involved.
The games offer competition for a wide range of athletes. There are 1200 athletes competing this year. From very young children in figure skating, to high schoolers in Ice Hockey to national level competitors in skeleton. You don't have to be the best. I competed in skeleton back in 2002, as well as snowshoeing . Although I competed against guys like future World Cup Champion Eric Bernotas in skelton, I did well in age group racing in snow shoes. My oldest son has been in Empires in skeleton, snow shoeing and Jr Bobsled. My 16 year old is competing in the inaugural Jr skeleton race this Friday at 7 PM (be there with cowbells!!).
I love the excitement of Empires. Going to the opening ceremonies to watch (or be lucky enough to participate) is always exciting. Many athletes will go on to much bigger and better things, as many athletes in Sochi are past participants of the Empire games. This year will be even more exciting, as the Empire Games overlap the Olympic games, and there will be many events planned around that, especially the lighting of the cauldron at 6 PM Friday. The games are also somewhat low key. Yes, all the athletes will be pushing hard and be serious. But, it is a great family event. There are many events associated with the games as well as normal winter fun activities only our region can offer. Nearlly all the events are totally free to watch. You may be able to watch the next Annelies Cook on the biathlon range or the next great Olympic hockey player like Amanda Kilbourne.
Come on out and cheer these athletes on. Regardless if they are going anywhere else with their sport or if they have aspirations of the 2018 or 2022 Games, support them all over our region this weekend!

In memory of those who went to look for a better life, yet only encountered death . . .In memory of those who risked everything and lost everything. . .Of those who went with hope in their eyes and challenge in their souls . . . The sun burned them and the desert devoured themAnd the dust erased their names and faces.In memory of those who never returned . . . We offer these flowers and say with the deepest respect . . . Your thirst is our thirst,Your hunger is our hunger,Your pain is our pain, Your anguish, bitterness, and agonyAre also ours.We are a cry for justice that no one would ever have to leave their land, their beliefs, their dead, their children, their parents,their family, their roots, their culture, their identity.From out of the silence comes a voice that speaks. . . So that no one will ever have to look for their dream in other lands, So that no one would ever have to go to the desert and be consumed by loneliness.A voice in the desert cries out . . .Education for all!Opportunity for all!Jobs for all!Bread for all!Freedom for all!Justice for all!We are a voice that will not be lost on the desert . . . That insists that the nation give equal opportunity to a dignified and fruitful life to all its children.

Hazelnut Cookies

Susan Willey Spalt Carrboro, NC Shortly after World War II, Spalt's mother, then a new bride, met a German woman who taught her how to make these delectable meringuelike sandwich cookies. "My mother died several years ago," says Spalt. "But when I'm baking these, I can hear her voice saying 'Don't be impatient. You can't hurry these cookies."

I have about 1000 rounds of 7.62 German surplus ammo marked "DAG-69-22" and a NATO cross. The primer has a green sealant and is crimped.
It is decently accurate practice ammo but about 10% of the ammo does not fire on the first try. My best guess is that these primers are just old since I do get a good deep firing pin "impression". I do not have this problem with any other ammo in my rifle just these DAG69 rounds. So what is the best situation to handle this on an AR15 platform. Things I have tried:
1) Pull the charging handle back about an inch, enough to recock the hammer but not so much as to eject the round. Then let go of the handle and re-fire. The problem is that AR15 has free floating pin and I had the round fire "by itself" after letting go of charging handle. I am also concerned this might cause some kind of out of battery discharge (no bolt assist on my rifle)
2) Wait 10 seconds to make sure the round will not change its mind then eject it. Then at the end of magazine collect the unfired rounds, reload and fire. Problem is I am not all that enthusiastic about handling these almost but not quite exploded little brass grenades.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Program Description Page
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 2 debut on American television and WSIU-TV in a special two evening presentation on Tuesday, March 18 and Wednesday, March 19 beginning at 8:00 p.m. These powerful documentaries, about one of our most devastating social issues, were filmed in Tampa, Florida over a two month period by Emmy Award winning director Frederick Wiseman.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE focuses on abuse in the home from the point at which it boils over into crisis. The film begins with the police responding to DOMESTIC VIOLENCE calls from couples - sometimes in the middle of an argument that threatens to escalate, sometimes from victims who are already bloody and bruised.
The film then turns its attention to The Spring, the largest shelter in Tampa, serving about 1,650 adults and children annually. Here, Wiseman documents intake interviews, counseling sessions, group therapy, staff meetings, and conversations among clients and between clients and staff. Since two-thirds of the residents at the shelter are children, the film also follows school activities and therapy sessions for children who have experienced the trauma of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Throughout, in a quietly gripping ballet between despair and hope, Wiseman's camera captures shocking stories of abuse -- all the more startling because of the matter-of-fact way in which the abused tell them -- and reveals the systems that exist to try to help victims reclaim their lives.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 2 picks up where DOMESTIC VIOLENCE leaves off, showing how the state's legal system deals with DOMESTIC VIOLENCE and documenting cases in the courts as they deal with such issues as bail, bonds, release pending trial, the specific context of injunctions, restraining orders, defining bounds for parental contact with children, support payments, and the courts' rulings on fault and punishment. Just as the interviews and counseling sessions in DOMESTIC VIOLENCE reveal astonishing stories of abuse and conflict, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 2's exchanges between judges, lawyers, and victims elicit riveting stories of couples' conflicts and the ensuing violence that led them to court.
Cases are heard in multiple settings: the arraignment, injunction, and misdemeanor courts. In the arraignment court the judge sentences offenders who plead guilty via closed circuit TV, and also makes decisions about releasing people on bond before they stand trial. In the injunction and misdemeanor courts, both men and women face DOMESTIC VIOLENCE charges. Viewers meet the two halves of a couple, each of whom has committed serial acts of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE against each other; he struck her, she tried to run him over. The film also introduces a pregnant woman who has been hit by her boyfriend, an act which automatically qualifies as a felony. In some cases the plaintiffs want to drop charges, but the judge will not allow it. On a number of other occasions, the prosecuting party simply doesn't show up and the case is dismissed.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 2 television presentations are produced by DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Film, Inc. and released by Zipporah Films, Inc. in association with Thirteen/WNET New York. Both films are directed, produced, and edited by Frederick Wiseman. Photography is by John Davey. Stephen Segaller is executive producer for Thirteen/WNET New York.
Funding for DOMESTIC VIOLENCE and DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 2 is provided by the Ford Foundation, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Public Broadcasting Service, The Irene Diamond Fund, the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, the Open Society Institute, The George Gund Foundation, and The Joyce Foundation.
