Tampa Used Car Dealer Arrested For Tax Fraud And Aggravated Identity Theft
Tampa, FL - United States Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces the unsealing of a thirty two count indictment charging Russell B. Simmons, Jr. (42, Tampa) with tax fraud and aggravated identity theft. Specifically, Simmons is charged with eight counts of wire fraud, eight counts of filing a false claim with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), seven counts of theft of government property, and nine counts of aggravated identity theft. If convicted, Simmons faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison for each wire fraud count, five years in prison for each false claim count, and ten years in prison for each theft of government property count. He faces a mandatory sentence of two years in federal prison for each aggravated identity theft count, which must be served consecutive to any sentence imposed for any of the other underlying offenses. The indictment also notifies Simmons that the United States intends to forfeit numerous assets, including approximately $47,580 in cash, $118,275 found on Green Dot and Walmart Money Cards, a Bentley, and numerous pieces of jewelry, including a Rolex watch, which are alleged to be traceable to proceeds of the offense.
According to the indictment, Simmons, who owned and operated Simmons Auto Sales in Tampa, engaged in a scheme to defraud the U.S. Treasury Department by filing fraudulent income tax returns and negotiating fraudulent tax refunds. Simmons allegedly accepted, purchased, and negotiated U.S. Treasury checks that he knew had been fraudulently obtained, often from individuals purchasing vehicles from his used car lot. Simmons, who knew the refund checks were fraudulently obtained using stolen identities, accepted the U.S. Treasury checks with a much higher face value than the price of the vehicles he sold, keeping the difference for himself. At Simmons Auto, he also accepted, negotiated and "swiped" reloadable debit cards, commonly referred to as "Green Dot cards," knowing that they contained fraudulently obtained tax refunds. In some cases, Simmons swiped these cards for individuals who purchased no goods or services from him. Simmons kept a large percentage of the value of these cards for himself and provided the balance to his co-conspirators in cash.
In addition to negotiating fraudulent tax refunds, Simmons personally filed fraudulent federal income tax returns using stolen identities. He then directed that the fraudulently obtained refunds be loaded onto debit cards, which he used at ATM machines around the Tampa area.
"Investigating refund fraud and identity theft is a priority for IRS Criminal Investigation," said IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Richard Weber. "Stealing identities and filing false tax returns is a serious crime that hurts innocent taxpayers. Today's arrest, in cooperation with the U.S. Secret Service and Tampa Police Department should serve as a strong warning to those who are considering similar conduct. Law enforcement is serious about investigating these crimes and holding to account those who defraud the government."
"The arrest of Mr. Simmons is significant due to the sheer volume of tax fraud perpetrated by this individual. Mr. Simmons and others have shown a flagrant disregard for the law and have abused the electronic tax filing system," said John W. Joyce, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Secret Service, Tampa Field Office. "The Secret Service and the members of our financial crimes task force will continue to focus our resources on investigations like this that negatively impact the community, the economy and our nation's critical financial infrastructure."
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed a violation of the federal criminal laws, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
This case was investigated by the United States Secret Service, the Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation, and the Tampa Police Department. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mandy Riedel.
This case is being prosecuted as part of Operation Rainmaker, a coordinated effort by various federal and local law enforcement agencies to combat the filing of false tax returns in the Tampa Bay region. Agencies participating in Operation Rainmaker include the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida, the U.S. Secret Service, IRS, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Tampa Police Department, and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

The aroma portion of this moisturizer is its downfall. This contains some basic, but good, thickeners and emollients for dry skin, but the amount of bitter orange peel oil is cause for concern. This also contains several fragrance chemicals known to cause irritation. Add to that the fact that the jar packaging won't keep the small amount of really beneficial ingredients stable and this isn't a moisturizer to get the least bit excited about. Try a better formula that costs less, and if aroma is paramount to your nightly skin-care routine, then light a scented candle.
This rich nighttime formula from Decleor is infused with black orchid and evening primrose to create an absolutely pleasurable experience that you'll look forward to everyday. While you sleep, this cream repairs damage incurred throughout the day from harsh environmental factors, and you wake up renewed and radiant. You'll love the moisturizing and nourishing effects, as well as the sensuous aromatherapeutic benefits and velvety texture. As with all Decleor formulas, this was made paraben-free.
Water, Isononyl Isononanoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Pentaerythrityl Distearate, Polyglyceryl-3 Methyglucose Distearate, Sorbitol, Squalane, Euglena Gracilis Extract, Glyceryl Stearate Se, PEG-6, PEG-32, Siloxanetriol Alginate, Glyceryl Stearate, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Peel Oil, Ruscus Aculeatus Root Extract, Cycnoches Cooperi (Orchid) Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Oil, Propylene Glycol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Bisabolol, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Lecithin, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caffeine, Tetrasodium Edta, Citric Acid, Tocopherol, Glutamylamidoethyl Imidazole, Hexanoyl Dipepetide-3 Norleucine Acetate, Biotin, Fragrance, Linalool, Limonene, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Benzyl Salicylate, Geraniol.
What can you say about a skin-care line where almost 85% of the products contain volatile, fragrant plant oils that have research showing they are irritating to skin? Few lines in this book received so many unhappy faces for this reason alone—yet those very oils are Decleor's claim to fame. This spa-oriented company was begun in 1975 by a massage therapist and is now owned in part by Japan-based Shiseido (whose sunscreens trounce Decleor's by leaps and bounds).
Decleor is all about aromatherapy for skin. They speak freely of the purity of the essential oils they use and the distillation processes that keep them active, but that's precisely the cause for concern. Yes, lavender, bitter orange, rose, geranium, neroli, and other "essential" oils smell wonderful, but the very ingredients that create those intoxicating scents are what is responsible for causing skin irritation, inflammation, and, in some cases, phototoxic reactions. These essential oils have active constituents but, because they are not regulated as such, any company can use whichever ones they like in any concentration. Moreover, companies don't have to indicate the quantities that were used, leaving the consumer to guess. The concept of aromatherapy has well-established benefits concerning inhalation of scents and the effects they have on one's mood and, sometimes, physiological function. But enjoying these oils via inhalation (where they really can be beneficial) is different from applying them to skin, where hypersensitivity is well-documented and topical usage is cautioned (Sources: Current Pharmaceutical Design, December 2006, pages 3393–3399; Phytotherapy Research, September 2006, pages 758–763; European Journal of Oncology Nursing, April 2006, pages 140–149; The Journal of Nursing, August 2005, pages 11–15; and www.naturaldatabase.com).
Not only are most of Decleor's products a giant step backward for your skin, they're also a real misfortune when you consider Decleor's terrible sunscreens and lack of truly state-of-the-art ingredients. In short, experiencing these products in a relaxing spa environment may make you feel refreshed or invigorated—but if your goal is establishing a sensible, effective skin-care routine, you'll need to keep shopping.

Auto Racing: Eddie Hoffman wins late-model feature at Illiana Speedway
By Tony Baranek firstname.lastname@example.com May 31, 2014 10:04PM
Jeff Cannon (33) and Eddie Hoffman race side by side during Saturday night's late-model feature at Illiana Speedway. | Goodaker Photography/For Sun-Times Media
Updated: July 2, 2014 2:51PM
Eddie Hoffman had to admit it.
The first time Jeff Cannon dipped his No. 33 underneath Hoffman's car during Saturday night's 30-lap late-model feature at Illiana Speedway, Hoffman didn't know what to think.
"He had the inside and I was on the outside, so it was either going to be glory or doom at that point," Hoffman said.
That was on lap 7. For the next 23 it was anybody's guess what was going to happen, as the two veterans raced side by side.
In the end it was Hoffman prevailing by a slim 0.145-second margin, becoming the first two-time late-model winner of the season.
It was a reversal of typical roles for Hoffman and Cannon, the latter of whom greatly prefers running the high side in close battles.
Cannon was competitive on the bottom and crossed the line a nose in front on a couple of occasions, but was never able to get far enough ahead of Hoffman to drive up in front of him.
"I just didn't have the drive up off the corner that I needed to clear him," Cannon said. "He wouldn't give up the outside at all.
"That's pretty disappointing to run quite a bit faster and not be able to get the job done. But that's what you get with Eddie. He's good."
Hoffman took the lead on lap four, going way up top to pass both fast heat winner Michael Martin Jr. and Bobby Gash. Cannon came along a short time later, setting in motion the racelong battle.
"It just worked out," Hoffman said. "He was a tick faster inside, but my car wheeled out there (on the top) good enough to stay ahead of him. It was the only shot I had."
Behind the top two, Bobby Gash held off Chris King for third. Martin and D.J. Weltmeyer completed the top six.
Ryan Moore ended some frustration by passing Michael Gerike on lap 8 and going on to win his first turbo stox feature. Moore beat Chris Woodall to the finish line by 1.844 seconds.
"(Woodall) had a rear end issue. I knew we had to take advantage of what we could," Moore said. "I'm just glad we made it through. We had a little bit of damage, but it was a lot better than Monday (a late-race crash)."
Rita Fields paced the rest of the turbo stox pack to claim third ahead of Gerike, Bobby Gash III and Eddie Ligue.
Paul Shafer Sr. used a lap 13 restart to vault past Stan Zolodz IV and record his second Legends feature win of the season. Fast qualifier Matt Govert also was able to work his way past Zolodz to claim second, while fourth went to Ben Fidone.
Matt Baikie made a late move to pass Kyle Royster just two laps from the finish in the pure stocks main. Baikie became the fifth different winner in the division in five races. Royster held on for second ahead of Craig Urban and Hunter Rohweder.

Your horoscope for November 1 to 7, 2012
Who will prevail in the U.S. presidential election? I'll hold to my prediction of a Barack Obama win, but truthfully the transits are so matched that they could produce a victory for either candidate. If the deciding factor is the Republicans' stand on the Scorpio issues of abortion and same-sex rights, then perhaps it's Obama's game. If Mitt Romney has sold the American people on the idea that he'll repeat his corporate success with the country's economy, maybe people will jump ship.
What I can say with certainty is that something is likely to go askew, similar to the 2000 election, when Mercury switched off retrograde and Al Gore lost to George W. Bush.
On November 6 at 3:04 p.m. PST, Mercury in Sagittarius begins retrograde. With dynamic tension to Neptune, expect added confusion or uncertainty. The folly is in seeing what you want to see, rather than what is. When Mercury retrograde occurs in Sagittarius, the problem is too much or too big, never too little. It's easy to race too far ahead, get too carried away, or make things bigger than they need to be. Try not to overdo it or overshoot it. Remember the standard Mercury retrograde warnings. Added safety and safeguards are wise. Don't take anything or anyone for granted. Double-check everything. Be fully present for yourself and aim to stay true to what's in your higher/best interest.
March 19 - April 19
Your month starts with added excitement, thanks to Venus stimulated by Uranus in Aries on Thursday/Friday. Your social and love lives get an added boost from this transit. As well, they can spark an unexpected financial gain, so when the impulse strikes, try your luck—instant picks are recommended. Mixed with Tuesday's Mercury retrograde start, expect to revisit places, faces, and more.
April 19 - May 20
On a job hunt? Looking for better prospects, options, or more support? The next couple of days could prove lucrative. Venus/Uranus can deliver surprise opportunity or added expense, perhaps to do with a work, studies, health, or transportation matter. A casual conversation or introduction could light a new fire. Accept extra help or advice. A second opinion or another look/see can be wise.
May 20 - June 20
Sparking your social life, romantic opportunity, creativity, and finances, Venus and Uranus give you plenty extra to post on your Facebook page. The fun, synchronicities, and eventfulness of life's ups and downs will keep things moving fast and furious through the weekend and into the start of Tuesday's Mercury retrograde. As is typical of the cycle, expect to repeat and re-meet.
June 20 - July 22
Don't plan or expect more of the same. The week's end could bring a disruption, side track, or shakeup, or it may suddenly let you off the hook. Impulsiveness or added expense can get the better of you. By Sunday, you should feel you can own yourself again. Mercury retrograde, beginning Tuesday, extends or enlarges that which you are working through, on, or toward.
July 22 - August 22
On Thursday and Friday, your phone rings more and your inbox stays active. Venus/Uranus keeps good times, ideas, inspirations, and conversations going strong. On Saturday, switch gears, recharge, or replenish. Monday's opportune Leo moon keeps you motoring along exceptionally well, but as of Tuesday, Mercury retrograde calls for added vigilance. You are wise to sharpen your observational and listening skills in order to play it smarter.
August 22 - September 22
Affairs of the heart and the wallet are on a fast track the first couple of days of November. Edgy and unpredictable Venus/Uranus keeps the live wire or hot wire well sparked. Saturday can present an opportunity to have a heartfelt exchange and/or reach them where they'll feel it/see it/hear it best. Mercury retrograde can start with more backtracking or second-guessing.
September 22 - October 22
A fresh diversion or added stimulation is on the ready, set, go dial. Venus, Uranus, and Pluto keep the sparks flying through the weekend. People may surprise you, and you could surprise yourself too. Do it up, live it up, aim for maximum impact, but also keep tabs on your impulsive or extravagant side. Once Mercury does its turnaround, regret can grow.
October 22 - November 21
The unexpected can finish out your workweek, but trust your instincts and you'll navigate through it just fine. In fact, add-ons, diversions, or changes could work to your advantage. Saturday can be a breakthrough day. Mercury retrograde is likely to increase your expenses, expenditures, and efforts. You may choose or be forced to pull out of an agreement, an arrangement, a contract, or a relationship.
November 21 - December 21
The end of the week could keep you especially busy with back-and-forth communications, added planning, socializing, and running around. By Saturday/Sunday, you should feel like you surpassed plenty and made a good landing. On Monday, keep open-ended and open-minded, and take things as they come. Starting retrograde in Sagittarius on Tuesday, Mercury sends you back to task.
December 21 - January 20
You could be game for change, and more easily convinced or swayed. When you see your moment, have the talk, call in the favour, and give it your best shot. Monday makes for good communication lines, but don't bank on promises unless you get them in writing. As of Tuesday, when Mercury retrograde gets under way, things change and minds do too.
January 20 - February 18
November's start keeps it fresh and stimulating for you. Thursday/Friday, good timing and opportunity are in your court. The right words come at the right time, and the right people do too. Connect, travel, promote, scout, have fun, love 'em up. Saturday/Sunday, take care of business, wrap it up. Tuesday's Mercury retrograde prompts a revision, repeat, or re-meet.
February 18 - March 19
Requirements are significant now, but your capacity to meet and surpass expectations (yours or others') has increased as well. Errands, entertaining, family, and professional or financial matters pile up Thursday/Friday, but Saturday through Monday, you should feel you have a handle on it. Mercury retrograde, starting Tuesday, heaps more on you.

I guess I'll have to wear telephoto glasses or something. I have watched them and when I thought they had layed eggs, found nothing. The eggs are typical Sulphur eggs. You are right, Molanic, they rarely expose the upperside of their wings. The chrysalis does look a tiny bit similar to other Sulphurs. I did notice that the spring/early summer CS's appear smaller than the early fall crop, IMHO. They were huge for a Clouded Sulphur. I keep hoping for Bordered Patches and Texan Crescents. I have both larval host plants for these. Susan |

Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson
Mission Statement
To focus on relationships, to exceed expectations, to never stop improving, TO BE THE BEST.
Showroom Design and Layout
The showroom is comprised of our motorcycle showroom, general merchandise showroom, parts and accessories department and customer lounge. The motorcycle showroom is 18,000 sq. ft. and features two antique motorcycle displays as well as more than 100 motorcycles. The general merchandise showroom is comprised of more than 10,000 sq. ft. of the latest and greatest H-D MotorClothes and accessories. We have one of the largest selections to choose from in the continental United States. We provide merchandise in mens, womens, kids, footwear, gifts and collectibles, leather, helmets, gloves, goggles, hats, and much, much more.
New this year to Smoky Mountain H-D is our Black Dragon line of apparel.The Black Dragon brand is an American-made line of apparel created exclusively for Smoky Mountain H-D with a custom display area in our merchandise showroom. Our customer lounge features a fireplace, flat screen TV that displays the weather channel, ATM, refreshments and leather couches for customers to relax on. We also feature an information and welcome desk where customers are greeted and questions are answered.
Service Department
Our service write-up area is about 500 sq. ft. with three write-up desks and a drive-in door. Customers ride their bikes into the building and the actual write-up and walk around is done inside. There is enough room to stage as many 15 bikes that are completed and ready to be picked up. Our shop is about 15,000 sq. ft. and contains eight bays with two lifts, work benches, a vise and tear-down racks. We have enough room to stage about 20 bikes in the shop that are awaiting work to be done. We have all necessary tools and equipment to handle the demands of today including a DynoJet 250i Dyno, a Coats RC200-EX Tire Changer, a Snap-On Dynamic Balancer, Presses, Neway Valve Refacer and Cutters, a Honing Tank, two time clocks and two Digital Technicians.
We are also one of the few dealers that have a nitrogen generator and fill all of our internal bikes with nitrogen, as well as recommend it to every customer. The shop is overall laid out for a smooth flow with four bays in the center and the other four along two of the perimeter walls, all specialty tools and some shop equipment is along another wall, there are two possible exits for technicians to use for test rides, and our wash bay is just beyond the shop warehouse. A bike comes in through the write-up area and is staged inside the shop. When the technician is completed with the job the bike is left at the wash bay where it can then be moved back to the write-up area after cleaning is complete.
The Service Manager's office is located where the write-up area and the shop come together. There is very convenient access to both areas from the office as well as windows all around so everything happening in service can be seen and heard from the office.
Training and Employee Motivation Practices
All departments hold weekly meetings to keep all staff up-to-date and informed on current promotions and events. Sales incentives are offered to help motivate team members to strive for the best every day. There are also award programs in place to award any employees that go above and beyond in their department.
Commitment to Customer Service
We believe that we should exemplify our dealership's commitment to customer service and satisfaction daily. We believe we should demonstrate respect, integrity and pride with our customers. We believe employees should greet every customer with eye contact, a sincere welcome and a smile. We attempt to engage the customer through common interests. Customers are escorted through the dealership as opposed to the employee simply pointing out directions. Employees are also empowered and encouraged to break away from regular duties or conversations to address customer needs.
Involvement in the Community
Smoky Mountain Harley-Davidson has been blessed with an active community that has supported this dealership from the very beginning. We at the dealership think that the best way to thank them for their support is to in turn support them in any way we can. This has resulted in many different events including prostate cancer screenings, mobile mammography unit, blood mobiles, benefit concerts, veterans' events and a local charity ride.

I know this one sounds a little strange, but give it a try; it's a great source of protein. The sweetness of the roasted garlic pairs really nicely with the feta, and the egg yolk binds all of the flavors into one cohesive package.

Chris Hansen knows all about catching people red-handed on camera. Since 2004, as the host of "To Catch a Predator," he's worked with law enforcement as they pose as underage girls online and ask pedophiles to meet them at home. When the front door opens—bam!—there's Hansen and a camera crew. The dudes do some seriously awkward verbal backpedaling before they are cuffed. Well, apparently, this time Hansen is the one caught on camera. The National Enquirer claims to have footage that shows he's cheating on his wife. Keep reading »

In the latter category, Vanity Fair struggled this period to top its strong newsstand performance in the first half of 2006, posting a 15.7 percent drop in single-copy sales. "In 2006, Vanity Fair had the best newsstand year in the magazine's history. So 2007 was up against a number of very successful issues," said editor in chief Graydon Carter. "And some of this year's covers just didn't do as well as we hoped. There is, unfortunately, no science to this." Perhaps one explanation could be that men don't sell as well for the pop culture monthly — Bruce Willis, Owen Wilson, Chris Rock, Leonardo DiCaprio and James Gandolfini all appeared on the cover in the first half, compared to female cover subjects like Naomi Watts, Lindsay Lohan and Teri Hatcher in last year's first half. "It depends on the man, of course, but as a rule, women do sell better than men. Unless that man is Brad Pitt," quipped Carter. In fact, Demi Moore, the only woman who appeared on its cover alone this period, sold best.
But Elle reported a 9.1 percent increase in single-copy sales, while Vogue posted a 4.6 percent uptick in newsstand sales, to 452,207. Lucky posted an 11.9 percent newsstand increase, to 250,240, and an overall circulation increase of 9.4 percent. Shape reported a 2.2 percent growth in total circulation, to 1.7 million, and Women's Health continued its strong circulation growth, reporting total paid circulation of 786,892. The title is raising its rate base to 1.1 million in January.
In contrast, general interest women's magazines reported softness on newsstands. Marie Claire posted a 20.1 percent decline in newsstand sales, to 328,200, despite a return to more traditional cover treatments compared to last fall's edgy experimentation by editor in chief Joanna Coles. Glamour posted a 7.3 percent drop on newsstands, to 755,289.

Peter Sutherland Ball died June 14th, 2009 after a valiant, eleven year battle with prostate cancer. He kept a positive attitude to the end, always willing to try a new treatment in hopes that it would prolong his life. Most people didn't realize just how bad he felt during his last six months of life.
Peter's life was marked by his devotion to his wife and family, and his lifelong love of bicycling.
Peter was born in England in 1933. In 1957 he married and moved to British Columbia. He and his wife lived there for twenty years, raising two sons, and a daughter. In 1978 the family moved to California where Peter had a new job. When he retired to Ventura County in 1998, the gentle California weather enabled him to spend a lot of time on his bike where he enjoyed the scenery and often said 'Another perfect day in paradise'.
Peter is survived by Janet, his wife of nearly 52 years, his sons Michael and Stephen, and his daughter Lisa. His four grand children, Travis and Shawn Rosecrans and Alexandra and Jonathan Ball. His brother John Ball in England.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to the Prostate Cancer Research Institute.
The Prostate Cancer Research Institute mission is to improve the quality of men's lives by supporting research and disseminating information that educates and empowers patients, families and the medical community.
PCRI is certified as "Best in America" by Independent Charities of America.

235 Minutes of Meeting of Prime Ministers
PMM(46) 12th Meeting (extract) LONDON, 6 May 1946, 3.30 p.m.
Military Bases in the Pacific (Previous References: P.M.M.(46) 5th Meeting, Minute 1 [1], and P.M.M.(46) 11th Meeting, Minute 1. [2]) 1. The Meeting had before them a note by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (P.M.M.(46)22) [3] covering a telegram from the Foreign Secretary (No- 53 of the 2nd May from the United Kingdom Delegation in Paris).
MR. ATTLEE said that Mr. Byrnes had not reacted favourably to the approach made to him by Mr. Bevin on the basis of the statement of the views of the Governments of the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand appended to the Minutes of the 5th Meeting. There appeared, in fact, to be no prospect of the United States Government agreeing to enter into discussions linking the grant of rights in Pacific islands with the establishment of regional security arrangements in the South and South-West Pacific. But to break off discussions altogether seemed undesirable. The result might be the withdrawal of the United States from all defence commitments in the islands concerned, whereas it was the agreed view of British Commonwealth Governments that it was desirable for the United States to be associated with the defence of the area.
Moreover, the United States' claim to sovereignty over certain islands in dispute would be likely to be renewed. And British Commonwealth Governments would have to assume responsibility for the upkeep of the military installations at present maintained by the United States in British islands. Finally, the breaking off of discussions would have a bad effect on our general relations with the United States. it seemed, therefore, that a basis should be found for continuation of negotiations and he suggested that it would be necessary to some extent to meet Mr. Byrnes's desire to limit the scope of the discussions.
DR. EVATT said that he agreed that Mr. Byrnes's reaction should not be allowed to lead to a complete breaking off of the discussions. He thought this could be avoided as he had apparently said that he would be happy to discuss the subject with Mr. Nash and himself in Washington.
Mr. Byrnes was reported to have said that he was 'not interested in establishing any system of regional defence in the South-West Pacific and that their own defence interests lay further North'.
Dr. Evatt said that he found this difficult to understand. If Mr.
Byrnes admitted that he had no defence interests in the area, why did the United States want rights there? If they were to be given valuable rights they must assume certain obligations. The Australian people would not agree to the grant of rights on any other basis. The subject was one of considerable political importance in Australia.
When this matter had been discussed at an earlier meeting, it had been the unanimous view that we should resist a piece-meal approach. Mr. Byrnes had brushed aside this view. He was prepared to undertake no obligations. Dr. Evatt said that the British Commonwealth could not justify acceptance of such an attitude. He had discussed the matter with Mr. Chifley and Australia's view was we should hold to the general principle that rights should be granted only on the basis of reciprocal obligations.
He doubted whether Mr. Byrnes's views were his last word. He appreciated that Mr. Byrnes might be afraid of difficulties with the Senate over any tight formal regional agreement. But Australia was not wedded to forms or words. There were informal means of reaching a satisfactory understanding which would not require reference to the Senate-witness the informal but, he believed, satisfactory arrangements for mutual defence between Canada and the United States. Some similar understanding might be worked out for the South-West Pacific.
Dr. Evatt said that he adhered to his earlier view that it was most important that the Commonwealth Governments concerned should act together and that they should not give any rights to the United States unless they assumed some degree of obligation. We should not give away any rights separately, and should not give any away, even if we acted together, until some obligations were accepted. Mr. Byrnes wanted complete rights over the Japanese Mandated Territories. If he were more reasonable with us, we could help him to get them, but we could not allow him to pick up bases from an ally merely to add something to the bag. We could not justify such an attitude.
For the moment, Dr. Evatt suggested that we should not close the door. We should take advantage of the offer of discussions in Washington. As regards Tarawa, he was glad that the United Kingdom Government had not accepted the suggestion that it should be ceded to the United States. [4] We should keep to our view. He would think it proper to set aside some area on the island for the United States to use as a memorial to the men of the United States Marines who had fallen there, but he could not agree to the surrender of the whole island to them.
MR. NASH said that some of the islands over which the United States had asked for rights were important to New Zealand for other reasons besides defence. The three islands, for instance, over which she asked for exclusive rights, namely, Funafuti, Canton and Christmas Island, were three major stepping-stones across the Pacific between New Zealand and the United States-or Canada. New Zealand would be very reluctant to see the United States given exclusive rights in these islands. Her own commercial aviation should not be dependent on other people's consents. But she would be quite ready to see the United States have rights there which would be equally available to the United Kingdom as well as to New Zealand herself. She would willingly adopt this course in the case of the islands in Western Samoa, for which New Zealand herself was responsible. He agreed with Dr. Evatt's view of Mr. Byrnes's statement that the United States were not interested in establishing any system of regional defence in the South-West Pacific. He did not doubt that the United States had in fact a defence interest in some of the islands. it had been very useful for her in the last war to be able to cross the Pacific by way of these islands and the Marshall and Caroline Islands, and it might be so again.
He called attention to the fact that Mr. Byrnes had modified very considerably the rights for which he now appeared to be asking in Manus. Now he said that 'the United States Navy only wanted to call in at Manus for minor repairs'. This confirmed him in his view that Mr. Byrnes had not said his last word on other points.
He agreed with the course of action which Dr. Evatt had suggested.
He thought there might well be advantage in discussing the matter with Mr. Byrnes on their way through Washington.
With regard to Tarawa, he also agreed with Dr. Evatt. He pointed out that before the United States ever came to the island, New Zealand had suffered considerable casualties there and a number of her subjects had been murdered by the Japanese. New Zealand had raised a memorial to them, and if part of the island was to be dedicated to the United States for a memorial he would like another part to be dedicated to New Zealand.
FIELD-MARSHAL SMUTS said that, while he had no special knowledge of the area, he would urge the importance of taking a long view.
It was surely very much to the interests of New Zealand and Australia to maintain and ensure the interest of the United States in the area. Should we not throw out a bait to catch the fish? it might be true that at the moment she was only asking for rights and was reluctant to assume obligations, but the rights given to- day would involve obligations to-morrow. Australia and New Zealand were, he suggested, very exposed to the North. The Australian Continent, largely uninhabited, was uncomfortably near a part of the world with a colossal population. To-day, perhaps, this need not disturb us; we had just won a great victory. But the situation might change. He suggested that it was very much to the interests of Australia and New Zealand to build up a protective wall to the North. That protective wall could not be provided without the help of the United States. To give her bases in the area might mean very little now, but it might mean everything over the next hundred years.
As regards Tarawa, it might be relevant that Tarawa was on the flank of the Marshall Islands and Caroline Islands, which were likely to be allocated to United States administration.
LORD TEDDER said that the views of the Chiefs of Staff remained as previously expressed (P.M.M.(46)3, Annex III). On the one hand, it would be a great advantage to involve the United States in defensive arrangements in the South and South-West Pacific; on the other hand, the British Commonwealth rights in the islands should not lightly be surrendered. He could not help suspecting that in the case of Funafuti, Canton island and Christmas Island, the fundamental objective of the United States was to obtain facilities for civil aviation. As regards Tarawa, while the island might be of some military use, it was open to question whether it was of much strategic importance to the British Commonwealth.
Replying to a question by Mr. Attlee, MR. MASON said that he had attended Mr. Bevin's talk with Mr. Byrnes on this subject. Mr.
Byrnes had been placed on the defensive by press reports suggesting that British Commonwealth Governments designed to take advantage of the United States Government's approach in regard to use of bases to 'entice' her into a regional security arrangement.
Mr. Byrnes had intimated that he was not prepared to undertake any such commitment. The Foreign Secretary considered that the latest United States proposals represented a considerable advance, beyond which it might be impossible to secure further United States concessions. In particular, Mr. Bevin considered that Mr. Byrnes's readiness to agree to grant to British Commonwealth Governments civil aviation rights in Funafuti, Canton island and Christmas Island constituted an important modification of previous proposals. Mr. Bevin considered that it was the intention of Mr.
Byrnes that the civil aviation rights in question should be available at all times, both in peace and in war, even if the United States were neutral.
DR. EVATT said that no answer should be sent to Mr. Byrnes which by implication suggested that we were prepared to alter our views.
Any suggestion of giving bases without any consideration in return would be met by deep resentment by the Australian people. It was true that Canton and some of the other islands were a long way off, but they were part of a vital link between Australia and the United States. We could not go back on the formula agreed upon, and he was sorry if Mr. Byrnes had been given the impression that we would do so. The suggestion of ceding Tarawa should not be pursued. The proposal had been made by Lord Halifax two or three years ago, and Australia and New Zealand had then objected to it.
Dr. Evatt thought that the procedure which the United States were adopting was objectionable. They had insisted on negotiating with the members of the Commonwealth bilaterally, and we knew they had done the same with the French and the Dutch. We should stand together. This was not Mr. Byrnes's last word, and he suggested that the case for our proposals should be put more forcefully to him.
In further discussion, it was agreed that the reply to be sent to Mr. Byrnes should be of a friendly nature. It was agreed that Mr.
Bevin should be informed that his telegram No. 53 had been considered by the Dominion Ministers, that they had noted Mr.
Byrnes's view as expressed in paragraph 13 of that telegram, and that Dr. Evatt and Mr. Nash would be glad to discuss these matters with Mr. Byrnes on their way back. Mr. Bevin should be told that the view reached at the meeting was that the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, while desirous of agreeing to arrangements which would be satisfactory to the United States as well as to themselves, must have regard to their common interest in the South Pacific area.
Mr. Bevin might be asked whether he thought that it would be useful to Mr. Byrnes for a statement on the above lines to be issued in London. If so, a separate paragraph could be included in it about Tarawa, to the effect that it had been among the subjects considered by the Dominion Ministers and that special provision might well be made in that island to commemorate its capture by the United States Marines in 1943.
DR. EVATT said that he must reserve his position as to the issue of a statement on the lines indicated.
Procedure in the Peace Settlement 2. DR. EVATT expressed concern at developments in regard to the preparation of the draft peace treaties with Italy, Roumania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland. He recalled that the Report of the Potsdam Conference establishing the Council of Foreign Ministers provided that the Council should draw up treaties with a view to their submission to the United Nations. It was the view of the Australian Government and also, he thought, of the other Dominion Governments, that either the Council of Foreign Ministers should have been broadened to include the active belligerents who had made a substantial contribution in the prosecution of the war, or the proceedings of the Council should be regarded as only the prelude to a wider Conference. Australia, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand had all issued public statements to this effect in September last. The United Kingdom Government had concurred in the view that the Council should only be the prelude to a wider Conference. It had subsequently been accepted by the United States and Soviet Governments; and at the Moscow Conference of December 1945 it had been agreed that, when the preparation of the draft treaties had been completed by the Council of Foreign Ministers, the Council would convoke a Conference of the twenty-one belligerent countries, on the clear understanding that it would be within the competence of this Conference to put forward proposals for amendment of the draft treaties submitted to it. The essence of the agreement was that the Conference had to be called before the 1st May, but that had not been done.
Dr. Evatt said that he would be glad to know what arrangements were contemplated for the convening of the Conference, and, in particular, by whom and at what date it would be convoked. It was most difficult and embarrassing to Dominion representatives who had come long distances to attend the Conference, to remain in complete uncertainty whether or not the Council intended to call an early meeting. He added that, if the Council of Foreign Ministers should be unable to reach agreement on draft treaties, it was the view of the Australian Government that the convening of the Conference should not for this reason be postponed; for it was fundamental to the Moscow Agreement that the Conference of twenty- one countries should be held. The provision of the agreement that a Conference should be convoked when the preparation of the drafts had been completed, should not be construed in the sense that, if it proved that the Council of Foreign Ministers could not complete the drafts, there could not be a Conference. It should surely be possible to circulate to the Conference alternative texts of certain parts of the drafts. On a related point, he said that the Australian Government were opposed to the revision of armistice terms, since this might be used as a pretext for delaying the conclusion of the peace treaties.
MR. NOEL-BAKER said that the Moscow Agreement provided that the Conference would be convoked by the Council of Foreign Ministers.
The invitations would presumably be sent out by the French Government. As regards the action to be taken if the Council of Foreign Ministers failed to reach agreement on the draft treaties, he understood that the action to be taken in this contingency had not yet been considered.
MR. NASH expressed his general concurrence with the views of Dr.
Evatt. It was essential that all the active belligerents should participate in the peace settlement. As, regards the suggested revision of the Italian armistice, while the New Zealand Government agreed with the United Kingdom Government that this might be done and in the terms of the draft proposal, he expressed concern that this might give opportunity for further delay in the peace settlement.
FIELD-MARSHAL SMUTS suggested that the views of Dominion Ministers should be conveyed to Mr. Bevin in Paris.
In the course of discussion it was pointed out that the Russians had taken the view that the Conference should not take place until the Council of Foreign Ministers had themselves agreed on the draft treaties. It was agreed that the United Kingdom must not allow the Russians to manoeuvre her into a position whereby, in order that the Conference might take place, she had to agree to their draft of contentious parts of the treaties.
MR. ATTLEE said that there was general agreement at the meeting that all countries who had made a substantial contribution to victory should participate in the peace settlement. He said that the Foreign Secretary would be informed of the views expressed in the discussion and requested to supply information on the prospects of convening the Conference in the near future.

There were two things I knew about Milford before I ever saw the place. First, it is the site of a famous and very beautiful natural phenomenon, the name for which is archaic and not found in contemporary dictionaries: fluviarchy, meaning a network of waterfalls. Milford is set on an escarpment 100 feet above the Delaware River, so streams flowing through and around the town must cascade down wooded cliffs to reach it. As they do, they form what is said to be the most dramatic fluviarchy east of the Rockies.
Second, the town used to host the annual Milford Science Fiction Writers' Conference, which drew all the heavyweights: Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick, Robert A. Heinlein, Harlan Ellison, L. Ron Hubbard. One year Kurt Vonnegut attended, and afterward he worked Milford into his novel God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater (1965). His protagonist crashes the conference and blurts out drunkenly, "I love you sons of bitches... You're the only ones...crazy enough to realize that life is a space voyage, and not a short one, either...." The sci-fi conference is no longer held in Milford, but on my first visit to the town, I was alert for even the slightest trace of its aura.
"Climb to the top of the Knob," my waitress at the Milford Diner told me at breakfast, "and you'll understand what all the fuss is about." The Knob is a 400-foot bluff that towers above one end of Broad Street, the town's main thoroughfare. It's a steep 20-minute climb to the top, and when I reached it I could see all of Milford, a comely village of tree-lined streets and handsome Victorian buildings with bell towers, gables, steeples, and cupolas in profusion. The Delaware River flowed past in a gentle southward arc. Both river and town were set into a wide green panorama extending to a distant periphery of cliffs. Not a single smokestack or other industrial intrusion lay in sight. Milford looked like a Currier & Ives print come to life.
Like many other New Yorkers in the aftermath of 9/11, I had started thinking about getting a place in the country as a weekend retreat. My old friend Sean Strub, the publisher of POZ magazine, had bought a hunting lodge next to a rushing trout stream in Pike County and fallen in love with the all but untouched Victorian village nearby. Soon he started the glossy Milford Magazine, and then, with former corporate executive Richard Snyder, bought a dilapidated, 120-year-old Italianate building—the Hotel Fauchère, on Broad Street. It was on the National Register of Historic Places, but its first floor had been converted into doctors' offices and the rest was vacant. Strub and Snyder set about restoring it to its original splendor.
The Fauchère is now a major reason people visit Milford. It is only one of many historic buildings that locals have carefully restored, but as one can tell from the names in Strub's copies of the Fauchère's old guest registers—William Tecumseh Sherman, Sarah Bernhardt, Andrew Carnegie, Mae West, Babe Ruth, and Presidents Roosevelt, Roosevelt, and Kennedy—it has played a lively role in Milford's history. In the late 18th century, when life here revolved around logging camps and bluestone quarries, a circuit judge named John Biddis bought the land that is now Milford, laid out streets in a tidy grid, divided them into parcels, and went to Philadelphia to sell them. Biddis extolled Milford's scenic beauty and the purity of its air as a respite from the increasingly dirty city. (It also helped that, because Milford was 900 feet above sea level and home to a colony of bats, it was virtually free of mosquitoes.) The pitch appealed to an affluent clientele, who engaged some of the best architects of the day to build houses on their new plots. James Pinchot, a wallpaper manufacturer from a local lumber-rich family, set his sights the highest of all. In 1863, he hired Calvert Vaux, the codesigner of Central Park, to create an elegant Second Empire post office for Milford, and a few years later he retained Richard Morris Hunt, the architect of Biltmore, the Vanderbilt estate, to design a lordly mansion for himself—the magnificent, turreted Grey Towers, high on a hill at the edge of town. Today, of the 655 buildings in Milford's historic district, 400 have been officially declared "historically significant."

How About a Movie About Vampire Hunters In a World Without Vampires?
In Development By Scott Beggs on February 17, 2011 | 1 CommentConsider originality celebrated for the day. Michael Stephenson, director of Best Worst Movie, has got his next project underway, and it's a dark comedy called Destroy that features a vampire hunter set loose in a world where he's taking down innocent elderly men.
Well, not completely innocent. Old men have seen some things, ya know?
Luckily, our human-staking hero has an assistant to help him out. Fans of the Alamo Drafthouse will be interested to know that the script was written by lead programmer Zack Carlson alongside Bryan Connolly, but the concept is enough to get me excited. It's comedic and horrible and new, and it sounds like Don Quixote transplanted onto the world of Universal monsters. Plus, it comes at the perfect time to act as an antidote to the vampire outbreak we've seen in theaters.
Check out the concept art by Johnny Sampson here:
Why does that look like a young Dan Aykroyd?

New Years Eve is the greatest night of the year. Okay, no, Halloween is. But NYE is pretty solid, too.
Teenagers, 20-somethings, and alcoholics of every age gather for a night of binge drinking and 4AM McDicks. To party their muthafuckin faces off, or wash away the stresses of Christmas and family get togethers. To avoid thinking of everything that you thought would happen but didn't didn't, or forget all the shit you couldn't handle to begin with and how it got worse. And then there's the few who drink for the taste and to celebrate "new beginnings" or whatever. This time around, I was doing all of the above.
I have had a shit year. Any time things would pick up, something worse would happen. 2013 was my year to finally get serious about my business, be a responsible adult, get to a place where I could actually pay myself a wage, maybe save something even if it's just a dollar. Instead, I spent half the year in bed, unable to cope with the concept of life for any number of reasons. Every couple of months - BOOM - shit storm. Breakup (which was meh, but channeling a previous experience), death in the family, painful anxiety attacks every half hour, and so on. In November, I nearly had my world torn in two. When someone you would lay down your life for nearly loses their own, it genuinely feels like you've been ripped open. Shredded. When you know you might never see them again, cancel all your plans. You're gonna be in bed for an entire weekend. Crying uncontrollably. But oh fuck, when they turn around, you are invincible! I'm still broke, still way behind on Hellhound, still fucked in the head, but I can take it. Jay's getting better every day, little by little, and so am I. Even as my mind gets even more twisted. This too shall pass, and all that.
My New Years Eve was awesome. No plans whatsoever turned into drinks at a friend of a friend of a friend's who had a doll that looked like a creepy version of another friend, and stumbling over to a nearby bar at 12:40, walking in the door just in time for the countdown, and for the person who was housing all our bags and alcohol to ditch us. During the pre-drinks, I managed to lock myself in the bathroom I didn't realize wouldn't re-open with anything short of luck. Or a body being hurled at it. Another few drinks and shots later, it was off to some pub I think was called The Unicorn?
Following the roars and affection over the turning of a clock, our Overloard of the Bags and Whiskeys ran out the door in a stumbling what the fuck? of drunkenness. We stood at the bar with our round one, seeing not a free table in the joint. Apart from one marked "reserved", which was immediately claimed. The waitress said we'd have to go if whoever came to claim their spot, but I doubt we would have been cooperative, so it's a good thing they didn't show. Though, if anything, we probably would have just insisted they join in our drinking. The place had who I assume was some generic bar band (was not remotely paying attention) playing covers all night. They must have been just as loaded as the rest of us, cause I have never heard Santeria sung so wrong. The verses were hacked in half and thrown all over the place, but whatever. It was confusing, but still fun. At some point they played something Lauren and I enjoyed, and we ended up dancing to what I'm told was the Foo Fighters.
There were more than the necessary amount of oh-so-stunning portraits of intoxication. Oh, digital cameras, how you have ruined my reputation on Facebook as anything less than a drunk.
To be perfectly honest, I like my apparent alcoholism. Sure, there's lots of drunk pictures of me. Yes, most of the family sees them. But it's usually a dozen or two at a time from one drunken night a month. And fuck it, I'm a 24-, soon (a month from today soon) to be 25-year-old, self-employed artist without children living in a jam/occasional party house, and I should be getting drunk all the time. Doing things. Having a life. But I'm not. I spend damn near all of my time and money on my business and my art. All responsible and shit. Most of the time. To a degree.
So here's to a new year! New stresses and mistakes, new beginnings and adventures, and being ever aware of how quickly things can end.
It's easy to take advantage, but it's much more fulfilling to appreciate.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Alex!
Facts about Alex
- Breed: Snowshoe
- Color: White
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Alex's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Meet Alex – a delightful kitten looking for a family with lots of love. Alex is cute, cuddly, soft, adorable, fun, active and full of wonder. Alex loves to take naps on the window ledge - when he isn't climbing his cat tree. Alex can be a little shy at first, but warms up nicely in just a few minutes. See Alex in his foster home.
Like with most things in life – it is better when you can share it with a friend. That is why we have the Better with a Buddy promotion. When you adopt two FOCAS felines (of any age), you get the second adoption at half-price. Twice the fun, twice the love AND you save money.
As with all FOCAS kittens, they are spayed or neutered, microchipped, current on their vaccinations, and tested negative for FeLV. This is all included in the $150 adoption fee. If you adopt a Buddy the cost of the second adoption is only $75.
For every adoption, PetSmart will give you $100 in product coupons.
For more information about Alex, please call 1 858-205-9974. The FOCAS adoption center is inside the Encinitas Petsmart located at 1034 No. El Camino Real, Encinitas, Ca. 92024. Adoption hours are: Mon: 5:30 to 7:30pm, Tues & Fri: 5:30 to 8:30pm, Wed & Thurs: 6 to 8pm, Sat: 1 to 5pm & Sun: 1 to 4pm.
Other Pets at Friends of County Animal Shelters - Encinitas
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Alex, a Encinitas Snowshoe kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Snowshoe for sale in Encinitas, or seeking a Snowshoe kitten from a breeder in Encinitas.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Encinitas already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Encinitas breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Snowshoe breeders who help with Snowshoe rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Encinitas paves the way for another one to be saved.

Management Sponsored by
Small budgets, overwhelming choices and limited time all create marketing stress for the small-business owner. For marketing to be effective, it has to be an ongoing activity, not just a reaction to a downturn in appointments. Beware of focusing your efforts on creating a constant stream of new clients through promotions, discounts and deals. Doing so may deplete your marketing budget with little long-term growth. Reaching out to the clients and contacts you already have is the key to penny-wise marketing. Shoestring marketing relies on the 5 R's.
Why is retaining a client so important? The simple answer is that retained customers provide revenue stability. Retention programs cost little to implement and create long-term rewards, and old clients bring in new clients through word-of-mouth referrals. They are more likely to buy gift certificates and, throughout the life of your business, they purchase more products. Old clients also write glowing reviews on social media sites.
Calculate your retention rate, and review your client appointments during the last month. What percentage were returning customers? If it was half or more, you are doing a great job of maintaining a loyal client base. If not, here are some tips. Reward repeat customers; make it easy for them to do business with you and treat them like they are golden—because they are. Provide an exceptional experience for them each and every time. Rewards, even small ones such as samples, complimentary add-on services or small discounts, go a long way to say "thank you" for returning.
Every business has clients who seem to have disappeared. Some move away, experience financial problems or drop you due to poor service or product concerns. Make it a priority to reach out to any client who has not made an appointment in three months or longer. If there has been a service, product or treatment issue, resolve it. Sometimes a friendly reminder is all that is needed. Let technology help you and send "We miss you" e-mails. Better yet, use slow times to make personal calls to lost clients.
Do you have gift certificates that have been purchased and never claimed? Every purchaser and recipient is a potential booked appointment. Select a specific day each month to recall the purchasers of your outstanding gift certificates. If clients have an existing gift-card balance, call them to invite them to use it soon.

All of my previous experience with EVGA as a company came from many successive video card purchases. For a long while there (through about five series of NVIDIA cards), EVGA cards were all I would touch due to their low failure rate, and excellent warranty service. As for the motherboards, power supplies, and other various devices EVGA has produced over the years, I tended to go another route for most of these purchases. While I knew the whole time that they did in fact offer solutions to most components for a PC, I never thought the day would come where I would be looking at a chassis from them.
That is exactly why we are here today: to bring forth a new compact tower-style chassis that offers sleek aesthetics, great ventilation, and also comes with a power supply pre-installed into the chassis to save room. This isn't some odd lame PSU either, it is a SFF PSU that offers 500W, and comes with an 80PLUS Gold rating. The other cool thing about this new chassis is that it comes in two variants: one made for air cooling, and another with a much larger top section, made to accommodate a radiator for water cooling.
What I do know of EVGA products in the past, is that the EVGA products I have used came well built, lasted forever without any issues, and always looked clean, sleek, and almost a step above other, plainer offerings. This is what has me excited to take a look at this new chassis.
Join us as we put the new Hadron Air from EVGA through its paces, complete a build, and then deliver our findings on what looks to be a very well thought out, classier looking addition to any room. To those looking for something along the lines of the design of the Prodigy, but with less space used, and a more refined finish: this is definitely worth the time it takes to check it out.

'The Host': A head-case, two heartthrobs and inadvertent humor
A review of "The Host," a convoluted sci-fi love triangle based on a book by "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer.
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review
'The Host,' with Saoirse Ronan, Jake Abel, Max Irons, Diane Kruger, William Hurt, Frances Fisher, Chandler Canterbury. Written and directed by Andrew Niccol, from the novel by Stephenie Meyer. 121 minutes. Rated PG-13 for some sensuality and violence. Several theaters.
If you thought the love triangle in "Twilight" (girl/vampire/werewolf) was a little twisted, try this one on for size: Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan), one of the last humans remaining after Earth is overrun by devastatingly attractive aliens (the lead one is played by Diane Kruger), is captured, and her body becomes a "host" for an implanted alien known as Wanderer, later Wanda. (With me so far?) This should eradicate Melanie, but it doesn't, and she and Wanderer have arguments inside her/their head, like Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin in "All of Me" but not quite as much fun. Off they go, in search of Melanie's remaining family — and find not only Melanie's former heartthrob Jared (Jake Abel), but another hottie named Ian (Max Irons), who quite likes Wanderer/Wanda for some reason. So, what we have here is not so much a triangle, but a love square, with three bodies, four identities, and no personalities.
The latest Stephenie Meyer adaptation comes by way of writer/director Andrew Niccol ("The Truman Show," "In Time"), who tries to class things up by casting the talented Ronan, and by having William Hurt deliver perhaps the world's slowest opening voice-over. But this material is just too silly, as confirmed by the giggles of a preview-night audience (not just mine, I promise). Everyone in the cast looks stricken and a little sleepy, like they just watched all four "Twilight" movies in a row; and even Ronan can't do anything with lines like "If you could hold me in your hand, you'd be disgusted." (No, I don't know what that means.) The cast stands around in their earth-toned outfits waiting for doom, i.e. Kruger, to show up with her ponytail and kill them; while the romance fizzles, as well it might.
"This is very complicated," says Melanie (or maybe Wanda) sweetly at one point; sing it, sister. "The Host" is like a confused guest who stays too long — but at least it's good for a few laughs.
