The IRS has a message for some tax payers, "Stop checking your refund status every 5 minutes online!"
The IRS says its "Where's My Refund" website and smartphone app are being overwhelmed by anxious tax payers.
The site is only updated once a day, usually overnight, so there's no point in checking it more.
The agency says the best time to check is evenings and weekends.

If you could write an alternative ending, what would it be?
I came up with this:
Everything is the same as in the book from the beginning until Jake comes back to 2011 for the second time (first time being the nuclear 2011). He comes back to his house, takes his most important stuff and then comes back to the diner. Then he finds a way to destroy it in less than two minutes (bomb/gas leak or something like that). He goes back to 1958, checks if he can come back, but he can't 'cause the portal is gone. So then he kills Frank Dunning, saves that girl from being paralyzed, waits for Sadie to come to Jodie, then kills John Clayton, and then lives happily ever after with Sadie :D

Release: 09/01/2013
Chapel Hill, N.C. --- Goalkeeper Cassie Ulrich helped the Lobos weather a major first half storm, but Kaitlyn Kerr scored on a rebound nearly 20 minutes into the game, and that was enough as the No. 12 Duke Blue Devils edged New Mexico 1-0 at the North Carolina Nike Classic.
Ulrich was extremely busy, especially in the opening half when Duke peppered New Mexico's goal to the tune of 19 shots, with 10 on net. Duke had 10 shots in the opening 14 minutes. Ulrich, who redshirted as a true freshman in 2011 and then didn't see any game action in 2012, nearly doubled her season-high save total, racking up 13.
The only goal of the game came at the 19:38 mark when Kerr, a senior with 23 career goals, took a point blank shot that Ulrich made a diving stop on. The ball bounded back to Kerr, who slotted it home for a 1-0 lead. That was the only blemish for the Lobos, who were outshot in the opening half19-2.
The second half proved different, as UNM held a 5-4 shot advantage until late in the half. Liz Nare fired a shot on net that was stopped by Ali Kirshner with 30 minutes left in the game, one of her two stops. Ashley Espinosa and Alyssa Coonrod each had shots go wide early in the half as well.
The Lobos, who dropped to 1-3-0, have now lost three games to three nationally ranked teams, all by a goal, dropping a 1-0 decision to No. 24 Texas Tech and 2-1 to No. 1 North Carolina. The Lobos now return home when they will host Rice on Friday night at 5 p.m. and Michigan State on Sunday at 1 p.m., with both games at the UNM Soccer Complex.
NOTES: Ulrich now has 29 saves in four games and at this pace she would easily eclipse the UNM season record, and the Mountain West saves per game record … Brooke Ellison, Elba Holguin, Liz Nare, Brianna Webster, and Ulrich have each played all 369 minutes this season … the Lobos, who entered the game with just one yellow card, got four in the match, as Brianna Webster (her second of the season) and Brooke Ellison each got one, along with head coach Kit Vela, and assistant coach Jorge Vela.

- March 12, 2012
The workplace will soon be abuzz with "March Madness," with 68 men's teams and 64 women's teams, the elite of college basketball, competing for the national championship. This national event creates a number of unique challenges in the workplace. Loss of productivity due to employee use of social media and the Internet is one, and while such tournament-based reports of lost productivity (e.g., those of Challenger, Gray & Christmas) have been debated, it is undisputed that roughly half of the men's NCAA tournament is played during normal working hours and that employees will want to watch the games or at least check the scores. CBS has even devised a "Boss Button," concealing the webcast of the tournament behind a "spreadsheet." It is estimated that the "Boss Button" was clicked approximately 3.3 million times during the 2010 NCAA Tournament. In fact, MSN reported that 86 percent of respondents to its early-2012 survey said they plan to devote at least some part of their working day to following the tournament. This is up 5 percent over 2011.
"March Madness" provides an opportunity to consider the following in your workplace:
- Only a handful of states (i.e., Nevada, Delaware, Oregon and Montana), allow legal sports betting. In the rest, sports betting is illegal, and companies should remind employees about their rules and policies against workplace gambling and solicitation. If an employer allows employees to engage in "bracketology," any prize awarded should be non-monetary, such as tickets to a complimentary round of golf, a gift card, or another event, without a monetary buy-in. Likewise, even participation in a non-monetary pool should be consistent with the company's policies on non-solicitation.
- Review company policies on computer usage. Consider ways to build camaraderie, morale and a controlled outlet for employees to check out the action intermittently during the workday. The efficacy of company rules prohibiting the use of the company equipment for non-work purposes may need to be analyzed despite the strong justifications for such rules. A frequent lament of employers is that "March Madness" exacts a significant toll on their computer infrastructure and technology systems, given that instantaneous downloading and streaming of games is available from virtually everyone's work computer and PDA. To address this, companies might designate a "tournament break room" with a television in a conference center, cafeteria or other office area. This may help control the environment, and, more critically, reduce the drain on the company's IT system.
Employers at a minimum should consider the impact of the tournaments on operations and consider ways to use "March Madness" to boost morale, while seeking to minimize the loss of productivity and improper use of company technology and equipment.

Jack's Senior Portrait
John Adams High School Class of 1938
(Carl Ballenas, Richmond Hill Historical Society)
[Jack has] known his own tribulation. As a young shipwrecked merchant mariner, he almost died. As a young would-be actor, he almost starved. But, in the first instance, he held onto life, and in the second, he held onto hope -- so he survived both experiences a better man than he might have been without them.
Hardship hones the character; heartbreak, the spirit. And Jack has known both, which helps to explain how he endures with such equanimity... ...Jack, though keenly sensitive, has weathered the abuse without visible scars.
Source: Anderson, Nancy. "Jack Lord: My Life is Filled With Miracles" in Photoplay. March 1974.
The Early Years
Jack Lord was born John Joseph Patrick Ryan in Brooklyn, New York, on December 30, 1920, to Ellen Josephine O'Brien Ryan (1892-1994) and William Lawrence Ryan (1887-1966).
Mrs. Ryan was a housewife, who bore five children: William Lawrence Ryan, Jr. (1918-1982), John Joseph Patrick Ryan (1920-1998), Josephine S. Ryan (1923-2001), Thomas H. Ryan (1928-2006), and Robert G. Ryan (1935-2003). Her family owned a fruit orchard in the Hudson River Valley of New York state, where she would return following her husband's death. She took over running the farm and was still running it when she was in her 80s. Jack described his mother as a strong woman, an Irish matriarch, who ran a beautiful home.
According to the 1930 US census, Mr. Ryan was a ship surveyor. It that capacity, he ensured that the company's ships and their cargo were safe. Sources do not say whether he worked for a shipping company or for a government agency such as the Federal Maritime Commission or the New York Port Authority. Most sources say William Lawrence Ryan was a steamship executive; in fact, Jack said his father owned a fleet of five ship with the word "angel" in their names; e.g., "Arch Angel." Turner Classic Movies' (TCM's) biography of Jack goes a step further and says Jack worked as a freighter crewman on his father's ships during hiatus from school while he was a teenager. But, then, there are the census reports, as mentioned above. TCM stated that Mr. Ryan's business suffered badly during The Great Depression. That ties in with a statement Jack made that his father had made and lost two fortunes in shipping.
Jack spoke warmly about his father, who was at once both strong and gentle. Mr. Ryan instilled a love of reading in all of his children and paid his children a penny for each line of poetry they memorized. Jack said this later helped him to memorize lines of script.
The Ryans were Irish Catholics. According to Jack, his mother's family, the O'Briens, came from Tipperary, while the Ryans came from County Cork.(Black) Interestingly, his father was born in England.(1930 Census)
Although born in Brooklyn, Jack grew up in Queens. Home for the Ryans was at 95-28 125th Street in the middle -class neighborhood of South Richmond Hill. Jack attended grammar school at St. Benedict Joseph Labre School, a Catholic school, and secondary school at John Adams High School. Former teachers and students at John Adams High School described Jack as a quiet, serious young man, who wore suits, won awards for his courtesy, was chosen to host visitors to the school, and dated, but not steadily.
St. Benedict Joseph Labre School (Richmond Hill Historical Society)
Jack said he was expected to earn his spending money while he was growing up. He did so by delivering the Long Island Daily Press. From the time Jack was fourteen years old, his father sent him out to sea each summer to work on freighters. It was time for the boy to learn the ways of being a man. The sea was a rough-and-tumble world, and Jack grew up quickly. Those long ocean voyages took him all around the world, most notably around Africa, the Mediterranean, and China. In his free time, Jack sketched and painted scenes of places he saw along the way.
During his high school years, Jack was very active in school activities. He was an athlete: a senior life saver, played on the varsity football team, and participated in intramural sports. He won a number of awards, including the bronze and silver 'A's and the honor, meritorious, and distinguished service certificates. He was also secretary of the Newman Club, which was a group for Catholic youth. Jack studied art, and his paintings often hung in the main hallway of the school. He wrote an art column for the school newspaper, worked on the school yearbook, and spent much of his time in the art room. Most notably, he won the St. Gauden's Medal for Fine Art.
John Adams High School (Richmond Hill Historical Society)
Upon graduating from high school in June 1938, Jack spent another summer at sea. Then, he began studying fine arts education at New York University on the Chancellor Chase football scholarship. He played as a sub-tackle. He was business manager of the school publication Trek and was associate editor of Education Violet, the School of Education's yearbook. One summer while in college, he worked as a lifeguard at Manhattan Beach.
Even as he studied, Jack went in with his older brother, Bill, to open the Village Academy of Art in Greenwich Village. His plan was to join Bill, who was making a name for himself as an artist. It was during this time that the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired two of his works, Vermont and Fishing Shacks.
In 1942, Jack married Ann Cicely Willard. Jack described it as a youthful romance and said they married following a whirlwind courtship. The marriage was not a good one, for the couple were young, and Jack was working away from home. They had a child, John Ryan, Jr., who died at the age of 13 following a brief illness.
During World War II, Jack served with the U. S. Maritime Service aboard Liberty ships. It was not an easy assignment, for the German U-boats were always on patrol. The ship on which Jack was serving was torpedoed. The fantail, rudder, and after-stern were destroyed, and the ship began to sink. There being no time to send an SOS, the captain ordered the crew to abandon ship. The ship sank in seven minutes, and Jack drifted in a life boat for sixteen hours before being rescued.
We know that, at some point, Jack was sent to Persia as a steel worker to help build roads and bridges for the Corps of Engineers, then a part of the War Department. We also know that Jack received his commission as an ensign in the U. S. Maritime Service Officers School on June 12, 1945. And we know that he was sent for two years to Washington, DC, where he served as an artist for a service magazine and made training films for the US Maritime Service. It was there that he discovered a love for acting.
When Jack returned to New York in 1948, having fully completed his obligations to the U. S. Maritime Service, Jack was nearly 28 years old. He had yet to establish a career for himself. Like many young men, Jack did not know what he was meant to do in life. He had followed his father to sea only to learn that the lifestyle could cost him his marriage and even his life! He had attempted to follow his older brother into art only to learn that one could starve working piecemeal. Thus, it had been a blessing when he was sent to Washington to make training films. He had enjoyed those two years, acting, and knew he wanted to experience more of it. Now, he had a new goal.
Jack Meets Marie
In 1946, while in service to the War Department, Jack had met the woman who would become the love of his life. It all came about when Jack was visiting his brother, Bill, near Woodstock, New York. He came across a stone house that caught his interest. Wanting to learn more about it, he sought to locate its owner. He learned that the house belonged to Marie L. De Narde, a fashion designer in New York's garment district.
Jack obtained Marie's telephone number and began calling her. For nearly three weeks, she did not return his calls; however, at last, she took the call in an effort to dissuade the tireless Jack from bothering her. She firmly insisted that she was not interested in selling her house and asked him not to call again. Jack insisted that he was not interested in buying the house; he only wanted to learn more about it. Then, he wasn't the real-estate agent, John Ryan, who had been pressuring her to sell? No. He was John Ryan, who was recently out of the Merchant Marines. Oh! Well, that was another matter. She invited him to come to her home that same evening. She had a dinner date, but if he would come early, she would see him before she left to meet her date.
According to some sources, Marie said Jack looked like an ad for Wonder Bread as he stood in her doorway. According to others, he looked like the Greek god, Thor, as he loomed over her petite figure. Even so, she invited him in and told him about the house, which she had designed. After all, as a fashion designer, she knew something about art. He knew about art, too, and had a degree in fine art. The story says they spoke long into the night, falling head over heels with each other with each sentence. She never quite made it to her dinner date.
Jack and Marie were married on January 17, 1949 (One source says January 13, 1948). He was studying acting and trying to break into the profession. Earning little from his efforts, he supported Marie by selling cars, Fords, first, and later, Cadillacs. (Read more about it in Jack and Marie at Home / When Jack Sold Cars)
The Middle Years
First, a word about his name. How did John Joseph Patrick Ryan become "Jack Lord"? Jack offered several explanations, and the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle of them. In the first place, a "Jack Ryan" was already registered with the actor's union. In the second place, Jack said the name "Ryan" made him sound like a police commissioner (I wonder if he would have kept the name if he had known he would become best known while portraying a chief investigator?). That's understandable; after all, Irish immigrants quite often did become policemen. Jack said he drew from his family tree for the name "Lord." He did not, however, change his name legally; "Jack Lord" existed only as his professional name.
Although Jack's first film was released in 1949, his name did not really begin attracting attention until about 1953. By then, he was appearing as a guest star on television theater programs, such as Alcoa Presents. In a letter to family friend and entertainment writer Paul Denis, Marie wrote in 1957, "Jack will be on 'Climax' this Thursday, June 6... plays a prize fighter with a Brooklyn accent." Also in 1953, Jack appeared in the off-Broadway production, Little Hut. In 1954, he appeared in the Broadway production, The Traveling Lady for which he won the Theatre World Award. It was soon followed by his performance in the Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. And, then, the film offers began coming in. In 1955, he appeared with Gary Cooper in The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell. It was followed in 1958 by his starring role in Williamsburg: The Story of a Patriot, which he made for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
Jack felt his name was catching on and that it was time to move to Hollywood, where he would have a better chance to appear on television and in movies. It was a decision that proved to be not altogether wise, for in Hollywood, he had to start all over again. Hollywood didn't care about his Broadway work, after all. Even so, his work in The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell and Williamsburg: The Story of a Patriot gave him a start. Soon, he was appearing again with Gary Cooper in Man of the West. Other movies followed, including God's Little Acre, the film adaptation of Erskine Caldwell's novel. In 1962, Jack portrayed Felix Leiter in the first James Bond thriller, Dr. No. It was followed quickly by an offer to have his own television series. Leslie Stevens was creating his first television series and thought Jack would make a good Stoney Burke. He did. Unfortunately, the series lasted only a single season.
Jack hit a slump after the cancellation of Stoney Burke. After all, he had been riding high, seemingly unable to miss. For the first time since 1950, when theatrical agents had failed to be impressed with the striking, yet untrained, actor-to-be, Jack had to face rejection -- at least, what felt like rejection to him. By his own admission, Jack handled it badly. He might have thrown in the towel, except that Marie reminded him that "It's not what happens in life – but how one responds to what happens that counts."
Jack began to pull himself together. Once again, he was in his studio, painting. He took voice lessons, put together a musical group called The Wanderers, and toured the rodeo circuit for his Stoney Burke fans. And he wrote. In all, he wrote five scripts, which he sold to Universal. And, then, he returned to television. Between 1965 and 1968, he guest starred in popular series, such as 12 O'Clock High and The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and starred in made-for-television movies, such as The Counterfeit Killer and The Doomsday Flight. In each, he played roles that, looking back, were nothing short of training sessions for the television show that would put him over the top, Hawaii Five-0.
Hawaii Five-0
For Jack, Hawaii Five-0 was a love-hate experience. He loved McGarrett, who shared his values. The role allowed him to put much of himself into his work, so much so that those who knew Jack described McGarrett as an "amped-up" version of Jack. His fans pick up on that and, in their fan fiction, tend to give McGarrett the qualities that Jack possessed.
The pressures of co-producing a television series were both rewarding and challenging for Jack. On the one hand, he enjoyed being an unofficial ambassador of the State of Hawai'i, meeting with government and tourism leaders, appearing at public functions, and helping to entertain foreign dignitaries. He also enjoyed adding his create talents to the scripts, which often arrived in less than polished form. He did not enjoy being seen as an egoistical tyrant. Perhaps, that would have been less of a problem if those around him had known that he was a co-owner and co-producer and not just a fellow cast member.
The pressures increased dramatically after series creator and executive producer Leonard Freeman died halfway through the series. More of the executive duties fell on his shoulders. More than ever, it was up to him to see that a 52-minute episode was completed every eight days. In addition, Jack directed one episode in six of the twelve seasons. He also liaised between Hawai'i and Hollywood. In fact, he had a direct telephone line to the West Coast. In addition, he helped to publicize not only Hawaii Five-0 but also other CBS shows that filmed in the Islands.
Jack loved the Hawaiian people and the experience of living in Hawai'i. So much so that, after the success of the first season, when he felt that the series would last, he and his wife purchased a large condominium in the upscale neighborhood of Kahala and claimed it would be the last place they ever lived (It was!). Hawai'i felt the same about him; both the Republican and Democratic parties asked him to run for governor.
When the series ended, Jack retired from acting and returned to private life. Contrary to what some people believe – since he was rarely seen in public – he did not become a recluse. Rather, he turned his interests to his art and to civic and charity work. He gave of his time to visitation of hospitalized children and veterans, the handicapped, and the disadvantaged. At the end of his life, he left his entire estate to a trust fund to benefit the people of Hawai'i.
Jack and Marie traveled extensively across nearly every continent, but perhaps especially in Asia. From his years in the Merchant Marine, Jack had loved that part of the world. One year, Jack presented a Golden Bell Award for best actress; it was Taiwan's equivalent to the Oscar.
Each fall, in October, Jack and Marie flew home to New York to visit old friends, see Broadway plays, and do some shopping. They never lost track of their friends from his early days as an actor and were invited to attend awards ceremonies even when they were unable to attend.
As the sun set on his life, Jack continued to take walks along Kahala Beach. With one of his lauhala hats perched atop his head and a newly acquired walking stick in hand, he made his way along beside the crystal clear aqua waters that had been his home for thirty years. And, when he died, he had his ashes scattered in those waters.
You will learn more about Jack's life as an actor, artist, and public figure on the pages that follow.

2 Answers | Add Yours
And not only did she know in which room stood the lady ready to emerge, all blushing and radiant, should her door be opened, but she knew who the lady was.
All it took on the part of the Princess to gain this knowledge was gold and a little womanly intuition.
But gold, and the power of a woman's will, had brought the secret to the princess.
In the short story "The Lady or The Tiger," Stockton does not reveal to the reader how the princess discovers which door the lady is standing behind. The author simply writes, "He saw, by that power of quick perception which is given to those whose souls are one, that she knew behind which door crouched the tiger, and behind which stood the lady. He had expected her to know it. He understood her nature, and his soul was assured that she would never rest until she had made plain to herself this thing, hidden to all other lookers-on, even to the king. The only hope for the youth in which there was any element of certainty was based upon the success of the princess in discovering this mystery; and the moment he looked upon her, he saw she had succeeded, as in his soul he knew she would succeed."

Butch mixed in with a bit of Ziggy Stardust.
(#173. 81.5/100)
Whisky fans will know all about Murray McDavid, which is part of Bruichladdich, those fine folks who make the many inconsistent (if always interesting) Renegade Rums. It's actually possible that this rum was a precursor to the whole Renegade line, being made somewhat earlier (mid-2000s) and adhering as it does to many of the principles of those rums: casks sourced from the Caribbean,aged in Scotland and finished in a wine of some kind.
Nicaragua is of course the home of a very decent range of rums, the Flor de Caña line, which I reviewed some years ago (have I really been doing this since 2009?). That series is made by Compañia Licorera de Nicaragua, which was established in 1937 to produce and market the Flor. In 1996 they did a complete factory upgrade which allowed them to attain the coveted ISO 9002 certification, and nowadays they use a 3 column continuous still to produce both the Flor variations, and the bulk rum sold to bottlers and blenders in Europe. Evidently they have done this for a while, since MM bought the distillate back in 1995 prior to the upgrade, and mellowed them in casks selected by Jim McEwan hisself, finally finished in wine casks previously used for Quarts de Chaume Blanc.
That finishing might have accounted for some of the androgynous flavours that presented themselves on the initial nose, because really, this rum had very few of what one might term "standard" rum notes of molasses and caramel or brown sugar – those were there, but they were extremely somnolent, almost reticent, as if afraid to come forward and take their accustomed position on the podium. Instead what I got was a rather light rum nose, musty, even dry-ish, more reminiscent of honey, ripe pears, cashews and pineapple, wound about with some smokiness and a vague and unsettling plastic bubble wrap fillip I can't say I cared for.
The taste began with some heat deriving from the 46% bottling strength and then settled down into a rather less than aggressive series of flavours – orange peel, pineapple, fresh mangoes, honey, with a dash of salt. It's a really subtle kind of rum with very little really positive, clear notes one could easily pick out. In fact, I'd have to say that it's success rests more on the overall texture on the tongue than it does on taste, because there's something a little bland about the whole experience, and which made my overall opinion much more middling than it might have been with a more striking, clear-cut profile (but then, that's my preference in these matters). The MM10 departed the scene with a reasonably long goodbye, a little dry, and here again, while I could sense the underlying textural complexity, the final tastes were so vague as to be absent almost entirely, and on that basis I'd say the finish is the weakest part of the whole.
Having made these observations on nose, taste and finish, where does that leave me standing with respect to a final summation? Much like the rum itself, I'm afraid…somewhere in the middle. Aspects of it I liked were the nose and the mouthfeel, and some of the tastes. Aspects I was less enthused by were the paucity and lightness of those same tastes and the lack of a decent finish (which, in a 46% rum, is somewhat of a surprise, really). As with the Berry Brothers & Rudd Fijian 8 year old I looked at not too long ago, I could sense quality moving murkily underneath the pieces that didn't work for me, and I can relate most of them to that placid "I'm good enough" palate that didn't really get the attention it should have, that would have raised the bar a bit.
The rum therefore doesn't quite gel for me as a consequence. I guess they could have injected some oomph into it, made the taste somewhat more assertive. That might have not pleased people with sharper, more consequential and perceptive snoots than mine. But in my review here, at least that would have bumped it up from promising without delivery, to flawed masterpiece.
Other Notes
Bottle provided courtesy of Chip at the Rum Howler so I don't know how much it costs
1500 bottles were issued in 2006
Rating system
- 40-50 Hooch. Deficient in either nose, body, flavour or finish (or all of them), barely worth a mix.
- 51-60 Decent for a cocktail but not much else. Not meant as a sipping spirit. May make a brilliant cocktail. In this case the rum is soft enough to be taken by itself, as it would probably be shredeed by any kind of single mixing agent.
- 61-70 You might want to experiment with drinking this one neat. In this case, I think you could, but it's marginal
- 71-75 Good sipping rum with a few discordant notes that can still make a good cocktail. I'd prefer to sip it myself.
- 76-80 Really excellent, top tier drink. May be unique in some way that goes against the prevailing opinion
- 81-90 No additive or ice should ever touch such a superb offering.
- 90+ Marriage material. Sell the Benz, 'cause you'll have to.

Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen left Tuesday's win over the St. Louis Cardinals with left rib discomfort.
McCutchen, the 2013 National League MVP, spent time on the disabled list earlier this month with a fractured rib. He was hit by a pitch on Aug. 2 and went on the 15-day disabled list before returning to the lineup on Aug. 19.
The Pirates also lost first baseman Pedro Alvarez, who left in the sixth inning with a left foot injury.
The Pirates won Tuesday's game, 5-2, on Ike Davis' pinch-hit, three-run homer in the eighth inning.

What's the most MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE AND/OR DISTURBING MOVIE you've ever seen?
March 12th 2008 22:32
On one hand horror movies are meant to be confronting and disturbing. There are movies which can skillfully scare the pants off of you with the use of suggestion and implication. And there are movies that mortify you by depicting the most heinous images of physical corruption. So theres the psychological and theres the visceral.
Some directors - David Cronenberg is a brilliant example are very clever at combing both elements in a subtle, but sometimes graphic way, and creating an intense combination of body horror and psychological terror.
Other directors, like Dario Argento, excel (for the most part) in creating very abstract or expressionistic visual and aural narratives where plausibility is thrown out the window and a kind of dream logic determines the mise-en-scene. Argento uses ultra-violence (much of it so extreme it becomes almost risible) to illicit a very calculated response in the viewer; repulsion and abject horror.
And then there are filmmakers who push all this aside and go straight for the groin, kicking the viewer in the balls and spitting in their face. There can be intelligence employed, but it may not be immediately apparent because the viewer is so appalled by what theyve witnessed.
It takes a lot to shock me but I can still be shocked.
A movie can genuinely disturb me, but I appreciate what the director has done, and how theyve done it. Gaspar Noes Irreversible (2002) was such a movie. The nightclub murder sequence and the protracted rape scene were palpably repulsive and harrowing to watch, but in the context of the movie they worked brilliantly.
More often than not it is about the context in which actions occur which define how shocking theyll be.
I Spit on Your Grave (1978) is a movie which I think is morally objectionable. A gang rape scene goes on for an inordinate and totally unnecessary length. Wes Cravens Last House on the Left (1972) is a movie I find deeply unpleasant with its lo-fi production values and grim visual style depicting the torture-murder of teenage girls. Pasolinis Salo; or 100 Days of Sodom (1975) is a very difficult film to recommend, unless youre a hardened cinephile, as it features numerous scenes of juvenile degradation, torture and maiming, but is intelligently constructed, being a dark and subversive allegory for Italian fascism.
You see, its all in the context, remember (he says with a hint of sarcasm)
Is it graphic realism that will cause the biggest upset? Is it unnecessary sexual violence that provokes the most intense outrage? Is it lack of intelligence or hamfisted direction in a filmmaker that makes a movie questionable?
What movie(s) have you seen that have not only turned your stomach, but played utter havoc on your sensibilities? What movie(s) have you seen that have made you angry at how a film of such moral mire could ever have been distributed

BELTON (February 15, 2013) -- The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor baseball team worked out of a jam in the top of the tenth inning and then won the game on Zack Whiddon's RBI single in the bottom of the frame in a 2-1 extra inning victory over Hendrix College Friday night in Belton. The Cru evens its record at 1-1 with the win. The loss drops the Warriors to 2-1 on the season.
UMHB grabbed a 1-0 lead when Whiddon scored on Seth Mogavero's single in the bottom of the first inning. Hendrix would not get a runner past second base until the fourth inning and the Warriors finally tied the game on Matt Simmons' RBI groundout in the top of the sixth. Hendrix put runners on second and third with one out in the eighth inning, but UMHB's Ian Ekery used a groundout and flyout to end the threat. The Warriors had runners on first and third with two outs in the tenth, but Ekery caught the runner off first and the Cru threw out the potential go-ahead run at the plate trying to score on the ensuing rundown. In the bottom of the tenth, Chase Burrow led off with a pinch-hit single and he moved to second on a wild pitch. After a flyout to center field, Whiddon slapped a single up the middle and Burrow scored standing up for the walk-off win.
Whiddon had three hits for the Cru and Mogavero added two more to lead a nine-hit attack. Ekery (1-0) earned the win with three and a third innings of three-hit relief. He struck out two and did not walk a batter. Kreece Cooper started for UMHB and scattered three hits and struck out six in six innings.
Connor Schrank took the loss for Hendrix after entering the game in the bottom of the tenth. Jacob Perschke scattered seven hits and struck out 13 in nine innings of work for the Warriors. Collin Radack and Brady Newville had two hits apiece for Hendrix, but the Warriors were held to six total hits in the loss.
The two teams will close out the series with a 1:00 PM doubleheader at Red Murff Field on Saturday. UMHB will then host Trinity University for a non-conference game next Tuesday.

Mars Reconaissance Orbiter Aerobraking
Date: 10 Dec 2003
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter dips into the thin Martian atmosphere to adjust its orbit in this illustration.
NASA plans to launch this multipurpose spacecraft in August 2005 for arrival at Mars in March 2006. The plans call for controlled use of atmospheric friction in a process called aerobraking for about six months after arrival to change the initial, very elongated orbit into a rounder shape optimal for science operations.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is designed to advance our understanding of Mars through detailed observation, to examine potential landing sites for future surface missions and to provide a high-data-rate communications relay for those missions.

Any bets on how much snow we get?
Accumulations are expected to be light. The real hazard looks like it could be the ice that forms when 24 degree F (minus 4 C) temperatures hit wet roads. Friday morning drive time could be treacherous.

SAN ANTONIO - Just south of San Antonio, 113 acres of land is covered by 223,000 modules that generate enough electricity for 1,800 homes.
The Blue Wing Solar Project has generated interest from across the globe.
On Tuesday, Gregory Barker, the minister of energy for the U.K., took a tour of the facility.
"I've never seen something on this scale before," Barker said.
Barker is touring facilities in Houston and Georgia as well as the San Antonio facility.
"This is now a technology that is going to be rolled out around the world. It's fascinating to see that San Antonio is really ahead of the pack," he said.
Barker said he would like to see Great Britain reach about 20 gigawatts by 2020.
"(There's) particular interest in the potential for distributing solar on Brownfield sites on the roofs of factories offices and houses," he said.
Along with increasing the solar panel production in his home country, Barker is also using the trip for economic purposes.
He brought along six companies that are also looking for investment opportunities in San Antonio and Texas.
Barker said solar is part of the energy future for the world and he wants his country on the forefront, making the solar panels and then using them.
"People are excited about those opportunities," Barker said.

Chief Stuart Thomas speaks to the Coalition of Greater Little Rock Neighborhoods
From Kathy Wells, President of the Coalition of Greater Little Rock Neighborhoods
To CGLRN from Pres. Kathy Wells:
Chief Stuart Thomas of the LR Police Dept. discussed new patterns of crime with members of the Coalition of Greater LR Neighborhoods yesterday morning, and pointed to more officers, cars and cameras coming soon. Mayor Mark Stodola dropped by to contribute to the discussion, and urged pressure on legislators to keep thieves in state prison longer. Both lamented the lack of probation and parole officers, and criticized state officials for not making good on the promises two years ago to expand these workforces. The mayor urged citizens to press prosecutors to be more aggressive in cases of a felon in possession of a firearm. Dir. Ken Richardson of Ward 2 also spoke. Both agreed the city was arresting those with prior records, in most cases.
Richardson urged resources be devoted to assuring there is a job for those who want one, and food to eat. He reported young women were now committing crimes and getting arrested for robberies the same as young males 20 years ago, so officials should create policies the fit that reality. He called, again, for a systemic policy that provided various types of help for a family at risk, in need of the basics. Teens growing into adulthood need continued attention, he said.
Thomas noted crime crept westward as the city grew in that direction, and the mobility of cars means they move all around, even to nearby cities and back. Some are holding up nearby pizza parlors, he added, which was not previously the case – robbers once were careful not to commit crimes close to home. Everybody is up all night nowadays, so robbers follow the population into all the hours of the day, he said. Another fresh pattern is the rise in the secondary crime – passing a stolen credit card onto to another thief, which defrauds a shop using this.
Asked about declining population in the Capitol View-Stifft Station neighborhood, where unrelenting burglaries have resulted in owners fleeing elsewhere, leaving behind vacant houses that soon attract transients, fires on cold nights, and burned-out structures that spiral downward into a decline, Thomas said his new resources in manpower and equipment would be applied there. He's hiring away certified officers from other departments, putting them on the streets faster than new recruits, Thomas said. He promised visible patrols in the area.
An Arkansas Democrat Gazette reporter attended, and her story in today's paper began:
LR crime patterns shifting, 15 told
By Chelsea Boozer
LITTLE ROCK — With more staff members and increased video surveillance, police hope to target the unpredictable crime patterns that have developed in Little Rock, Police Chief Stuart Thomas told a group of concerned residents Saturday.
"Traditionally, a lot of robberies — particularly at convenience stores and fast-food [restaurants] — were late at night. Now those seem to attract [robbers] just about any time of the day," Thomas said at the January meeting of the Coalition of Greater Little Rock Neighborhoods.
The rest of the story is on 1 B of the Democrat Sunday.
Thomas said the general perception of more violence than ever does not hold up in the records. In fact, he said, violent crime is down for 10 months of 2012, compared to the same time in 2011. Property crimes are up, and officers cannot keep up with that chase, Thomas said frankly. He noted detectives are arresting more workers robbing bosses using insider knowledge, and called for more rigorous background checks on job applicants.
Specific steps a citizen may take today focused on continuing vigilance in daily routines. Thomas maintained citizens deter criminals when they are alert, aware of surroundings, and take those basic precautions we know – not going alone, keeping to lighted areas, keeping cars empty, locked, and purses and IPads off seats, keys out of car ignitions, and selling goods on auction websites like EBay, instead of Craig's List, where a meeting occurs. Robbers are seeking victims with IPads and the like to sell and setting up meetings in unsafe places, he added.
Citizens can press for better security where they shop, the chief continued, and ask for cameras on parking lots, especially grocery stores, which attract purse snatchers, as well as keeping posters off front windows that may screen robbers from view, hindering police.
Neighborhood cameras provided by neighborhood groups are welcomed, Thomas said, and technology allows those images to be store online in the "cloud."
Thomas and Stodola together discounted use of a Reverse911 system, a technology that enables authorities to call every phone in a territory with a recorded notice of a chemical spill, a prison break or other major safety threat. Bless their hearts, policemen cannot break the habits ingrained by the profession, and let much information out to citizens. Their solutions call for more resources for the department, so they deliver protection to citizens themselves. So uncomfortable did they become when pressed to take citizen information and transmit this back out to the community, Thomas dragged up mention of the 600 sex offenders his agency munities in the city. No one raised concerns about new offenses being committed by those registered offenders; their nuisance to the agency is moving and not telling police the new address, Thomas said.
It remains up to neighborhoods to operate their own alerts by the traditional Telephone Tree, or the newer email blasts, or Twitter. Forbidden Hillcrest is the most famous in operation today, and it has achieved a lot of timely alerts to its subscribers.
Thomas did outline plans to add 50 cameras overlooking public intersections and areas, and said he welcomed citizen suggestions on locations. Send an address for a camera to Thomas at:
The department is updating its website, and the upgrade will enable to visitor to contact the department by email, and submit a question or suggestion – like where to put a camera.
Stodola noted these will be mobile, and officials expect to move them around the city, to oversee problem areas, and deter criminals.
In other business, Treas. Karen Walls sent a report of a balance on hand totaling $355.87.
Dan Scott of NLR city government attended and complimented the Coalition for its citizen action over the decades. He said his bosses were interested in fostering closer citizen/city links, and would study what the Coalition does, to use its work as a model.
The group planned to take the next step at the Sat Feb. 9 session by inviting legislators to attend and discuss remedies from the state budget for parole officer positions, and the prison budget. The Coalition will also research felon in possession of a firearm cases and outcomes.
Police Chief Stuart Thomas discusses new neighborhood crime Saturday, January 12th at Hinton Resource Center
Coalition of Greater Little Rock Neighborhoods presents Chief Stuart Thomas Saturday, January 12, 2013
From Pres. Kathy Wells:
Chief Stuart Thomas of the LR Police Dept. will speak at our Sat. Jan. 12 monthly meeting of the Coalition of Greater LR Neighborhoods. He will talk about fighting the new breed of criminals afflicting our community. The Coalition meets 10 a.m. to noon in Room 108 of the Hinton Resource Ctr., 12th & Pine St.
The public is invited to attend. See past concerns of the Coalition online at:
Coalition members asked Chief Thomas about how citizens could work with police to deal with the random crime today, where any store could become a robber's target, and any robber could fire a gun on impulse, even when no one resisted, and the robber is leaving with the money in hand.
Thomas acknowledged previous patterns police had learned were not applying today – for example: an addict feeding a habit, stealing from known cash sources, operating in ways and places that police had discovered.
Police nowadays may encounter a robber at a cellphone store; a robber getting cash before a visitation to his children; or a robber holding up a cashier at 8 a.m., Thomas said.

Standpoint: Watching Leicester Tigers is no good for our health!
Posted: January 14, 2013|
Once again, Leicester Tigers were comprehensively outplayed for most of the game and managed, just, to grab what was required against the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium.
Obdurate defence throughout the first half kept Leicester in it when many teams would have been blown away.
We must remember that French giants Toulouse were unable to win or draw against the Ospreys. However, it has to be said that the continued snatching of the result at the end is bad for the fans' hearts and blood pressure.
In terms of the mathematics of the pool, a win or a draw meant the same thing – a winner-takes-all clash at Welford Road against Toulouse.
Related content
In that sense, the fact that Tigers (as in the corresponding fixture at Welford Road) suddenly found the game there for the taking as the Opsreys tired, yet managed to mess up a 22 clearance play with a poor kick to Eli Walker and no chase to allow Ospreys to grab the draw, wasn't the disaster it might have been.
However, the failure to win means that even a victory against the aristocrats from France will not give Tigers a money-spinning, and advantageous, home quarter-final.
Given the nature of the group, that probably isn't unexpected, and still being in the tournament with a match to win at home would undoubtedly have been acceptable at the start.
Positives for Tigers in terms of individuals? Mat Tait looks a great bet for the long-term full-back jersey; Niall Morris, with his newly-extended contract, gets better and better; and to complete the back three, Adam Thompstone brings physicality and speed.
Tom Youngs is now officially a top-quality hooker and is beginning to bring his 'A' game to the loose now his set-piece is largely settled.
Overall, however, it is difficult to see Tigers continuing to grab the needed result after being beaten for most of the game. Certainly, it is unlikely that Toulouse will be as profligate as the Ospreys from the kicking tee, if Tigers are as under the cosh as they have been in the last two games.
Another season-defining game for Tigers next – and, hopefully, there is another gear in the engine.

On July 28, Andrew Taylor of the Associated Press reported that:
Republican leaders were confident … that they can push through the House the first minimum wage increase in a decade, along with a cut in inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates.
A minimum wage increase is long overdue, and repeal of the estate tax would be detrimental to the very people that a minimum wage increase would help.
Today, Joel Havemann of the Los Angeles Times reports that the Republicans' odd bedfellows made it through the House, though the measure faces Democratic opposition in the Senate.
Why have the Republicans done this? To undermine their Democratic opponents in an election year. In this session, Congressional Democrats both renewed their perennial call for an increase in the minimum wage and fought a spirited and apparently successful campaign against estate tax repeal.
Then, writes Havemann, as "Democratic strategists were preparing to use the [minimum wage] this fall in their bid to wrest control of Congress from the GOP … 50 mostly moderate Republicans last week appealed to their leaders to act.
The group threatened to vote against adjourning for the August recess until their party's leaders agreed to give them a chance to vote on a minimum-wage increase.
On Friday afternoon, GOP House leaders relented. They announced they had tacked it onto a 180-page bill that would cut the estate tax and extend a host of temporary tax cuts — moves that Senate Democrats have made clear they would block through a filibuster if necessary.
Neatly turning the tables on the Dems.
Havemann offers quotes that offer some hope that, contrary to form, the Dems will find the gumption to call the Republicans out on their cynical manipulation.
Representative Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, called it "the kind of cynical ploy that makes Americans lose faith in their government."
House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, accused the Republicans of a "political stunt" that insulted Americans, especially the 7 million who earn minimum wage.
And, given the tone of Havemann's and Taylor's coverage, we might also hope that the media will pick the right side in this fight. Fingers crossed.

NHS urged to ban smoking
Posted: November 27, 2013|
NHS hospitals should ban smoking on their premises and staff should be told not to help patients who want to smoke, says new guidance.
Measures are needed to help patients stop smoking while they receive care, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) has said.
While NHS trusts will have the final say, staff and people using NHS services should be told not to smoke on hospital grounds, Nice said.
Patients should be encouraged to stop smoking before admissions and stop-smoking drugs should be on hand.
Professor Mike Kelly, director of the Centre for Public Health Excellence at Nice, said: "We need to end the terrible spectacle of people on drips in hospital gowns smoking outside hospitals."

Haylett and Thursday Brushes at SAC in July
by JUDITH KIMPAN
Observer Special Writer
Experience the energy and passion of mixed media artist Christine Haylett and the painters of The Thursday Brushes art group at Starkweather Arts Center now through July 25.
An opening reception will be held 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Friday, July 11.
Haylett's solo exhibit is hung in the main gallery and The Thursday Brushes' artwork is displayed upstairs.
Haylett received her bachelor of fine arts degree from the Center for Creative Studies. Although she worked for 23 years at Chrysler as a process engineer, she always stayed involved with art. Her goal had always been to be an artist.
When approached by a member of The Thursday Brushes and asked to join, she knew it was her chance to find out if she really wanted to be an artist or if it was a pipe dream.
After joining, Haylett was free to follow her dream.
Everything fell into place and Haylett has been a member of the Thursday Brushes for seven years. The Thursday Brushes is a group of seven painters working in various paint media: Oil, pastel, watercolor, acrylics and mixed media.
For the past year and a half, Haylett has been drawn to work abstractly. It was a challenge to change from representational work. Now Haylett composes her canvas with shapes, color and line.
She continues to push herself by including textures, using stencils and collage to create her paintings. She uses a journal to collect thoughts and drawings.
"I sit in my car, walk the Polly Ann Trail or I watch TV and will sketch while watching Duck Dynasty or Swamp People," Haylett said.
A lot of work gets done in the winter.
"It's too cold for me to work outside, but sitting in the car doing vignettes means you can work all winter," Haylett said.
This exhibit shows how Haylett pushed to work more intuitively, on a larger scale and bring expression to her canvases. She wants to show how she feels as she is painting, the energy, vibrant colors and shapes that take on movement.
"I love to paint. It gives me a sense of joy I cannot duplicate anywhere else," Haylett said.
The six other members of Thursday Brushes are Janet Almstadt-Davison, Mary Marple, Bobbie Tarbunas, Denise Dunn, Barbara Clay and Tina Hoenes. The group meets weekly to paint together, critique art, and attend art shows or workshops.
"It's a wonderful support group," Haylett said.
In winter the group goes to different greenhouses or members' homes. In the summer they paint outdoors during area garden walks or various local parks such as Wolcott Mill.
Once a year for one week, Thursday Brushes rent a house as a group and paint all day
"We live, breathe and create art," she said. "Even the food is artfully created."
Thursday Brushes enter juried art shows and exhibit their work as a group. Marple and Haylett will participate in the Romeo Garden Walk as plein air painters July 12. Haylett has also been in numerous juried shows. Her work is in many private collections, is on display in Chrysler offices and she participated in 2013 ArtPrize in Grand Rapids.
Starkweather Arts Center is located at 219 N. Main Street. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.

Recipe by Katie K
"I received this great recipe for Korean Sushi from a Korean friend of mine. It is different and very good!"

1 cup
uncooked glutinous white rice (sushi rice)
1 1/2 cups
1 tablespoon
sesame oil
salt, to taste
eggs, beaten
4 sheets
sushi nori (dry seaweed)
cucumber, cut into thin strips
carrot, cut into thin strips
4 slices
American processed cheese, cut into thin strips
4 slices
cooked ham, cut into thin strips
2 teaspoons
sesame oil
I agree with the others. Some of the ingredients were a little odd. My favorite is imitation crab meat, kimchee (lay on paper towel first to get rid of most of the juice), egg, pickled radish, and carrot sticks (I parboil them first so that they aren't so crunchy).
It sounds good but my mom is Korean and she has never made it with ham or cheese. We always ate it with egg, carrots, dakquan(which is pickled yellow radish), and occasionally beef or dried squid.
20 Ratings
Yes, again the cheese is weird to me too, but with that said kimbap can be made anyway you want. Kim - is seaweed and bap - is rice, the possibilities are endless and I had it many ways. Each family makes it differently. I personally like mine with dak - quang (pickled radish), bulgogi (korean beef), steamed spinach, egg and carrots. It's just what I'm used to.
As to those who said this wasn't authentic or how they had it, I wrote it as it was given to me by a Korean student studying here. It is possible that she was using the ingredients available here and not making it quite the way it is usually made, but she didn't say anything to that effect. Also, I spoke to a friend of mine who said that she had the same thing made by another Korean student studying in Canada. This may be due to the area they were from or just the generation they were born in.
Everything was great, except me being Korean, the cheese is not very traditional, nor the ham - more commonly bulgogi or spam are used instead, and alternate of cheese, there's this korean yellow radish - none the less, very good!
Its okay as long as you sorta tweak it
cheese is popular with the korean teenagers but most kim bab is made without cheese. Also I always had kimbab with hotdogs, sliced lengthwise. Also, this is missing "dan-moo-gee" which is pickled radish, gives the kim bab a good tangy taste.
but if you want to make it with cheese, here are some other "fusion" ingrediants to add:
tuna, beef, kimchi, pork cutlet.
and for vegetarians, you can make this without any meat, still tasty if you make it right
this is my all time favorite. very good!
I am Korean and I have been around long enough to know that everyone has different flavors. My mom use to make ours with hotdogs, and I have heard of people using cream cheese. I think what ever you have in your kitchen, as any thing goes. A good note to everyone is not to fill it with too much rice or it will be hard to roll about a 1/4 inch layer should be good. And make sure that everything is patted dry or you will rip the seaweed when you roll,cut or eat it.
