MENA, Ark. (AP) — The sirens sounded at least four times as the storms drew in, at every corner of the western Arkansas hamlet and in the center of town.
While many took cover immediately Thursday night in the basement of the county courthouse, several funnel clouds passed over the city of 5,700 in the Ouachita Mountains. Other stayed home, only to glance out their windows just in time to see the black funnel descend on the community just east of the Oklahoma line. "This one popped out of nowhere," said Polk County Sheriff Mike Oglesby. The tornado killed at least three people and injured at least 30 others while winding its way through the town. As daylight broke Friday, pink insulation hung like cherry blossoms from the sheered branches of century-old maples. The roof of a two-story home sat atop the rubble that once was the floors beneath it, a set of women's clothes still hanging from a suspended closet rack. Oglesby said search-and-rescue teams had combed through the city's downtown and a neighborhood just west that sustained the brunt of the storm without finding any other victims. The sheriff said he had no reports of anyone else missing. "Right now, everything's good," Oglesby said. Basic tornado safety rules call for people, when warned, to go to the lowest floor in a building and put as many walls as possible between themselves and outside. A warning was posted at 7:24 p.m. Thursday night for areas north of Mena and another one went up for the community at 8:01 p.m. — nine minutes before it hit. Some communities cannot run their sirens continuously because their motors will burn up, said John Robinson, a National Weather Service forecaster. "Everything was well-covered. We said everything was heading straight toward Mena. It's unfortunate yet," Robinson said from Mena, where initial storm surveys Friday showed the storm was "at least an EF3" on a scale of tornado damage, with winds at least 136-165 mph. Some residents sought shelter in the Polk County Courthouse, where dispatchers became trapped immediately after the storm. A radio antenna fell over onto part of the courthouse during the storm, damaging its roof, but the beige brick structure appeared to withstand the twister. But others, like Ken Butler, 40, said they initially dismissed the sirens. Butler could only huddle against a wall as the storm hit, his arms wrapped around an exposed gas pipe. "The siren was going off in plenty of time, I just didn't take it serious enough," Butler said. The storm plucked his neighbor's shotgun-style home off its foundation and tossed it about 20 feet away. Across the street, neighbor Edward Cross, 69, said he and his wife Nettie, 66, also didn't heed the sirens. Instead, he lifted the blinds of his back windows to look out toward the town's middle school and the courthouse. At that point, Cross said the "big black cloud" loomed right in front of him. "I didn't have time to go nowhere, I just grabbed a hold of the wall and held on," Cross said. The storm tore away a quarter of their home's roof. His wife, smoking a cigarette, held up her hands to show how rattled she remained. "I'm still shaking," she said. Across town, the twice-monthly meeting of the Mena's chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star had been going on uninterrupted, the 19 people inside only faintly hearing the sirens through the building's cinderblock walls, said attendee Thurman Allen. "We heard the siren two or three times.

Genetics & IVF Institute Offers Tips for Coping with the Holiday
FAIRFAX, Va., May 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mother's Day is excruciating for millions of women coping with infertility, which affects at least 6 million American women. "All of my clients dread Mother's Day," says Phyllis Martin, a therapist affiliated with the Genetics & IVF Institute (http://www.givf.com), a comprehensive infertility treatment center based in Fairfax, VA. "Women who are distressed by Mother's Day need to find a way to 'take back the day,'" Ms. Martin added.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080509/DC21928LOGO )
To help women who are facing infertility cope with Mother's Day, the fertility experts of Genetics & IVF Institute offer the following tips:
1. Share your feelings with your partner, family and friends. Understanding how you feel will help them understand why you may choose to avoid certain events or places on Mother's Day.
2. Don't feel guilty or ashamed of your feelings about Mother's Day. Give yourself permission to take care of yourself emotionally - even if it means changing traditional plans for the day.
3. Consider ways to protect yourself from emotionally charged
situations. Instead of going to a restaurant with your mother on Sunday,
for example, you might plan to spend Saturday with her instead or celebrate
at home rather than eating out. (Many family groups with small children
celebrate Mother's Day in restaurants, and seeing those happy interactions
can be painful for women who fear they will never celebrate with children
of their own. It also can be difficult for would-be mothers when restaurant
staff ask female guests if they are mothers because they provide flowers or
other gifts to moms on Mother's Day. Saying that she is not a mother can be
devastating for

I owe this purchase to Christine. I thought and thought and thought about this. $170 is a lot to spend on a powder compact but it is absolutely worth every penny. The packaging is hefty and luxurious. The powder gives such a soft and lovely glow. I wore it on my wedding day.

One thing has never changed at Martin Farm in northern Maine. Come September, generations of the family and hired workers are in the fields picking potatoes by hand.
Bayer CropScience today announces the launch of its third annual #Thankful4Ag campaign, a national social initiative dedicated to helping feed families in need in the U.S. and educating consumers about their food.
More than 25 years have passed since children at Katahdin Elementary School in Stacyville, Maine, were released from classes to harvest potatoes, but every year, fourth-graders at the school still get a taste of a traditional harvest.
This time of year, farmer Ben VanderWeele spends nearly every morning the same way. He oversees hundreds of tons of potatoes as they're cleaned, set on a conveyor belt and put into storage.
The bright sun is outshining Maine's reputation for fickle weather as the potato harvest gets underway in earnest following an excellent growing season, potato growers said.

Majordomo List Owner's Guide
This page explains what a majordomo list owner / administrator needs to do to maintain his mailing list, and the basics of how to do it.
Most lists will not require very much work from the list owner, but even with majordomo set up to provide as much help as an automated program can, there's still a certain minimum of routine work associated with each list: checking the mail generated by the program to make sure nothing went wrong and handling the things which slip through the cracks.
We expect that a large number of people will want mailing lists, and we do not have the resources to handle this routine work for all of them. Therefore, we must have a list owner/administrator for each mailing list we create.
The person who wants the list is responsible for finding a list owner, but need not be the list owner themselves; if you want a list but don't have the time to administer one, or don't feel comfortable enough with computers to administer one, you can find someone willing to do the list administration and jointly request the list: you will be the "list sponsor" and the person handling the administration duties will be the "list owner."
Email and Majordomo
An electronic mail address (or email address) is the equivalent of a postal mail address: it is a location to send electronic mail (or email). The email address points to an electronic mailbox (or email box, or mail drop) which holds the mail.
A mailing list is effectively an email address which points to many different email addresses. To be a bit more precise, an automated process accepts mail sent to that address, processes it, and resends it to a set list of addresses.
A list owner is the person responsible for maintaining a mailing list. Primarily what this involves is seeing that the list of addresses it resends mail to is current. Other responsibilities depend on the list but can include dealing with bounced messages, approving messages sent to the distribution address before they are resent, writing a short description of the list, and guiding the tone or the direction of the discussion.
Majordomo is a mailing list management program. Essentially, it's a tool to help the list owners manage their lists. It is designed to handle the routine administration of mailing lists automatically, minimizing the work the list owners need to do personally.
Using Majordomo
People send commands to majordomo by sending mail to majordomo; to control a Cardiff mailing list, you would send email to email@example.com. Majordomo ignores the subject line of the messages and treats the contents of the letter as a command -- or a series of commands, each on a separate line.
Both list owners and list subscribers use majordomo. It accepts a large number of commands from list subscribers and executes them automatically, so that you do not need to personally subscribe and unsubscribe every individual, answer each request for information about the list personally, and so on.
See our Majordomo for list subscribers guide for more information about what list subscribers can use majordomo to do.
If you're offering a mailing list for a specific group of people, for example those in a given class or department, you should probably photocopy the document and hand it out to your intended subscribers; the more they use majordomo, the easier your work as a list owner will be.
The list administration commands fall into four categories:
- subscribing and unsubscribing readers
- changing majordomo's description of your list
- changing your password
- changing your configuration file
List of Commands
Here's a basic list of commands and their descriptions.
- Wherever "listname" is referred to, substitute the name of your list;
- wherever "password" is referred to, substitute the password for your list;
- wherever "address" is referred to, substitute the email address of the appropriate reader.
approve password subscribe listname address
subscribes the address given to the named list.
approve password unsubscribe listname address
unsubscribes the address given to the named list.
newinfo listname password
changes the information a user retrieves with the "info" command; readers automatically get the information when they subscribe as well.
config listname password
Majordomo sends you a copy of your current list configuration file.
newconfig listname password
changes your list configuration file.
writeconfig listname password
replaces your list configuration file with the default list configuration file.
passwd listname password newpassword
changes your password to the new password you give
The subscription commands
There will be times when you want to subscribe or unsubscribe someone who hasn't sent an (un)subscribe request to majordomo. Perhaps you want to simply subscribe everyone in your class. Perhaps someone's account has been deleted and he didn't send an unsubscribe request beforehand.
You can subscribe readers by sending majordomo the command "approve password subscribe listname address".
Likewise, you can unsubscribe readers by sending majordomo the command "approve password unsubscribe listname address".
It is very important that if you are going to subscribe someone who hasn't sent a subscription request that you make sure you have their correct email address. If you subscribe an email address which someone has but never reads, he won't receive your list and his unread mail will pile up and cause problems. Worse yet, if you subscribe an email address which is mistyped or looks right but isn't their mail will be rejected and bounced back to the list owner, and you'll have to figure out what went wrong and unsubscribe the address.
The above command is also used when someone requests a subscription they do not have the authorization to receive automatically. This can be if someone requests a subscription for another email address (unless you have an "auto" subscription policy to let anyone subscribe any address), or for all subscription requests if you have your list set up so that all subscriptions require confirmation (a "closed" subscription policy). In either case, their mail will be forwarded to you, with the email address for the subscription attached if they didn't supply it.
If you add "approve password" to the beginning of the line (the entire line will say "approve password subscribe listname address") and resend the letter to majordomo, majordomo will take their address from the letter it forwarded to you (you must leave the letter's header intact when you reply to majordomo, however!) and subscribe them.
Unsubscribing someone when unsubscription requires approval goes by a similar process: they send "unsubscribe listname" to majordomo, majordomo sends the letter to you, you edit that line to say "approve password unsubscribe listname address."
The information command
Majordomo is set up to answer some informational queries, and it can include queries about a specific list.
The list owner can use the newinfo command to tell the computer how to answer a general query for information about the list.
You send majordomo "newinfo listname password" on one line, and then type the information you want majordomo to reply with, making sure to include returns at the end of each line. After the information, type "END" on a line by itself.
For example:
mail email@example.com
newinfo listname password
This is line one of what readers see.
This is line two of what readers see.
This is line three of what the readers see.
The next line will be blank.
The previous line is blank.
There could be many more lines.
This is the end of the info.
The lines after end could have other commands and they would not affect the newinfo command.
Majordomo stores the information, and replies with it to general information queries about the list -- that is, the info command. It also adds this information to the end of its reply to a subscription request.
The reply to an information query for the above list would say:
From: email@example.com
To: email@example.com
Subject: Majordomo results
>>>> info testing-list
[Last updated on: Mon Oct 3 15:03:01 1994]
This is line one of what readers see.
This is line two of what readers see.
This is line three of what the readers see.
The next line will be blank.
The previous line is blank.
There could be many more lines.
This is the end of the info.
The password command
The password command allows you to change your password.
Ideally, you should change the password into something that is easy for you to remember, but not easy for someone to guess.
It should not be a word in any dictionary, including technical dictionaries and foreign language dictionaries; there are programs which 'guess' every word in a dictionary that's given to them.
Your password should be eight characters long, and use one or more of the following tricks: unusual characters, a mixture of letters and numbers, or a mixture of upper-case and lower-case letters. Caution: majordomo cannot accept a pound sign (#) as a password character.
There are two classic tricks to choosing a password that's easy to remember but difficult to guess. First, you can pick a phrase and use the first letter in every word in the phrase, picking a letter or two to capitalize. For example, "Start at the beginning, continue to the end" becomes satbctte, which becomes satBcttE. Second, you can use misspelled words or combinations of misspelled words; you can then use random capitalization and/or stick in numbers. For example, Two Blue become tuo bloo, which becomes tuo2bloo.
In order to change your password, you send the command "passwd listname password newpassword." Substitute your list's name for "listname," your current password for "password," and your desired new password for "newpassword."
The configuration commands
Your configuration file controls the settings of your list: the subscription policy, the digest policy, whose queries for information it will answer, who can send to the list, and so on.
Unless you want a personally-configured list, there is only one change you will need to make to this file: setting the half-line description of your list that will appear whenever people ask majordomo for a catalogue of its lists.
As a whole, the configuration settings are very important and very powerful.
They can also be very troublesome if they're set incorrectly, so be careful. There is a "restore to default" command, but you should also keep a copy of your most recent configuration file so that you won't lose any changes you have made.
There are three commands controlling your configuration file.
The first of the three commands retrieves a copy of your current configuration file. Whenever you make any change to your configuration file, you should always send a request for a copy, and retain the copy of your most recent configuration file, so that if something goes wrong you can simply restore from your own backup. In order to receive a copy of your list's configuration file, send majordomo a message saying, "config listname password." Majordomo will then send a reply which includes your current configuration file.
The second command lets you change your configuration file. Before you do this, you should use the config command above to retrieve a copy of the current file. Once you have a copy (and made a backup copy), you edit the configuration file, and send the new configuration file to the majordomo, prefaced by the command "newconfig listname password" and ending with EOF. It works much the same way as the newinfo command:
mail email@example.com
newconfig testing-list password
[Configuration file here]
[Configuration file here]
[Configuration file here]
The response will be:
From: email@example.com
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Subject: Majordomo results: newconfig
>>>> newconfig testing-list password
New config for list testing-list accepted.
As soon as you've changed your configuration file, you should make a backup copy with the config command.
The third command lets you go back to a previous configuration file. Thus, if you want to scrap your current configuration file and start over, you can get an entirely new configuration file with the writeconfig command.
If you send majordomo the command "writeconfig listname password," majordomo will delete you current configuration file and replace it with the default configuration file. This will fix any problems your current figuration file has. It will also get rid of any changes you might previously have made in the configuration file, so while it's a good quick shortcut to fix any problems, it's no substitute for having a backup.
The most important configuration commands:
There are a very wide variety of things you can control by changing your configuration file. The generally most important of these are editing the 1/2 line description majordomo displays together with your list's name, changing your subscription policy, changing your moderation policy, and putting restrictions on the information non-subscribers can retrieve about your list from majordomo.
You control all of these things by having lines in your configuration file which say "variable = setting." What the setting is varies with the command; your description can be any fifty characters or so, but many things take only "yes" and "no" as their settings.
The description of your list
To set your description, include:
description = Any 50 or so characters you want majordomo to say.
in a configuration file you send to majordomo. There is no default description.
There are three choices for subscription settings: letting anyone subscribe any email address, letting anyone subscribe their own address but requiring password approval for other addresses, and requiring password approval of all addresses. In respective order, each of these settings may be put in your majordomo file by:
subscribe_policy = auto
subscribe_policy = open
subscribe_policy = closed
The default subscription policy is open.
Moderation (submission) policy
There are two choices for a moderation policy: moderated and unmoderated. If a list is moderated, all postings to it must be approved by password; if not, anyone can post to the list. The settings in the configuration file are:
moderate = yes
moderate = no
The default majordomo setting is unmoderated.
Who can get information about the list
There are several commands which control whether or not people unsubscribed to the list can retrieve types of information about it. You can control whether someone unsubscribed to the list can retrieve the "info" information about it, can see it included in a catalogue of lists an email address is subscribed to, and/or can retrieve the roster of email addresses subscribed to the list. These settings can be set with:
private_info = no
private_info = yes
private_which = no
private_which = yes
private_who = no
private_who = yes
The default setting for all of these command is no, i.e. your list is public.
Customizing how messages look
There are three commands which can automatically add text to messages which go out over the list. Message_footer adds text to the end of the letter. Message_fronter adds at the beginning of the normal text of the letter. Message_headers adds new headers to the headers section of the letters (the part with "From" lines, "To" lines, and so on). All of these work in the same way:
message_footer << END
The lines you want at the end of the text.
message_fronter << END
The lines you want at the beginning of the text.
message_headers << END
X-Header-Name: text of header; must be formatted HeaderName: headertext
X-Header-Name2: you can add multiple headers.
In all three cases, make sure the text you want added is in between the two ENDs. All of these default to blank lines.
It is also possible to add a word to the beginning of a subject line. Since you only add a word (it can include numbers or punctuation as well as letters, simply no spaces or tabs or end-of-lines; like the password, it cannot include a pound sign), it is done more simply:
subject_prefix = one-word
This permits people to quickly see which of their mail is from the list by reading the subject headers. It defaults to nothing.
You can influence where people send their replies to by inserting a "reply-to" line in the messages distributed through majordomo. It works the same way subject_prefix does, with one word added to the end of the line:
reply_to = one-word
If the word you use is $SENDER, the reply_to line in any message distributed by majordomo will have the email address from which the message was sent to majordomo for mailing list distribution. The default is nothing; the reply_to line will be omitted. Most mailers will then reply to the "From" line, which will have the email address from which the message was sent to majordomo for distribution. If you want a discussion list, you might want to set the reply_to to the lists's submission address (e.g. email@example.com), so that a "reply" is received by everyone on the list. If you set a reply-to, make certain the address is typed correctly and is a valid email address, or all replies will fail.
You can also delete some of the "Received" headers from the mail distributed by majordomo. These "Received" headers track which machines received the mail, so that the path it took can be plotted. If you want to, you can delete the "Received" headers up to the time majordomo received it. This will shorten the headers received by the list readers. This works the same way the private_variables do:
purge_received = yes
purge_received = no
The default is no.
Other variables
There are many other variables you can set through the configuration file, and a reference list for them is on the next page. Most listowners will never want to set any variables besides those above; many will never want to set anything besides the list description.
The total configuration file is very powerful, which means you can do a lot with it, but also means a typing error or a misunderstood variable can cause a lot of problems. Therefore, if you do change any other variables, you should be careful to save a copy of your configuration file first and to watch the list carefully for a couple of days afterwards.
Your Responsibilities
There is a certain amount of routine work associated with every mailing list. Majordomo is designed to minimize this work, but there is a certain amount of work that must be done by a human being; even if everything goes smoothly, somebody must make certain that majordomo is doing its job. We don't have the personnel to manage every mailing list. Therefore, before we create a mailing list, we require a list owner who agrees to handle this routine work.
By agreeing to become a mailing list owner, you're taking on responsibility to see that your list runs smoothly. We will run majordomo and the listhost machine to give you tools for this, and we will help you out in an emergency. However, you must handle the routine work yourself.
If you have your list set to permit users to subscribe and unsubscribe themselves (subscription_policy=open) and to let messages sent to the list address be distributed to the subscribers without requiring validation (moderated=no), your job should be fairly easy. If you moderate the mailing list, or require subscription approval, things will be somewhat more difficult, but majordomo should keep the administration load as low as possible.
The administration work you will need to do can be split into two parts: the things you will need to do to begin your list, and the things you will need to manage your list once the list is started.
When you start a list, you should read this document carefully, use the newinfo command to set up a description of the list, and add the half-line description of your list to the configuration file. If there are any other important changes you want to make to the configuration file - making the list moderated, for example - you should also make them at this time.
While running your list, you should keep a copy of this document and the majordomo subscriber guide handy.
On a daily basis, you should also read your list administration email and take care of any urgent needs, for example: urgent subscription requests, bounce messages, any unsubscription requests (all unsubscription requests should be thought of as urgent because people tend to become angry if they keep receiving mail from a list much after they requested that the messages stop coming -- and therefore unsubscription requests are an easy problem which can balloon into a bigger problem very easily). On a regular basis, you should take care of any routine work: get a copy of the current subscribers to the list, handle the subscription requests, any requests for basic information about the list, and so on.
These administration tasks should not take up very much of your time unless your list becomes very large. However, they need to be done regularly, or minor problems can become major ones.

On Sunday we had a bright, if still quite cold, day here and we took our young puppy friend on a longer walk than normal and through an area in our neighbourhood we hadn't visited before. We came to a some railroad tracks and were happy to explore around the junk-strewn way space for a while. Years ago, when the tracks were more accessible by our old apartment we enjoyed having the relatively wild fields that ran along side. Railroad tracks are a haven and ultimately the end for all sorts of plant and animal species and many of my first bird identifications were around those tracks.
Back to last Sunday… we were crossing one set of tracks when Gayla noticed the body of a bird that was fairly intact but probably clipped by a fast moving train. What might seem odd to many people is that the curiosity and fascination of most naturalists often extends beyond death. While my preference would always be to see live and active plants and animals, the chance to see a specimen up close can sometimes be the only time certain details are visible.
Some Victorians may have valued the aesthetics of natural curiosity above living breathing Nature but collections of "study skins" and holotypes are still useful means for up-close inspection of birds and other species. My personal goal isn't rigorous scientific study but I have still always held an interest in seeing the anatomy of various species as closely as I could. Though I have to admit a great fondness for natural assemblages and collage like the boxes of Joseph Cornell.
A couple of photos taken on the scene lead me to later discover that the bird we found at the tracks was a Horned Lark (Eremophila alpestris). They aren't uncommon birds and they seem to anecdotally be found around way spaces like railroad lines but I had only ever seen them in passing in books before Sunday. Even in its twisted and still form, the Lark sparked some type of thrill, in experiencing difference. I felt a twinge, a sort of self-doubt, in feeling excited to be seeing this lifeless bird but death holds more than its fair share of wonder as much as we might want to cast that fascination to the side. Without getting too Circle of Life, death is just a part of it all.

Nicole Kidman has dropped out of Woody Allen's next, untitled film. It was announced in March that she was set to star in the film, but she has now withdrawn for as-yet unspecified reasons.
The rest of the cast includes Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts and Freida Pinto, and given that everyone seems to want to work with Woody Allen, we don't expect him to be lacking a leading lady for very long. Only problem is that, with Naomi Watts already on the cast list, the most obvious candidate to replace Kidman's already accounted for.
The film's due to start shooting in London this summer, Allen's return to our shores after making Vicky Cristina Barcelona in, er, Barcelona, and Whatever Works in New York. We'll bring you news of Kidman's replacement as soon as we have it.

If I walked up to you right now and said, "Hey, Colm Feore is signing autographs in the next room," you'd probably be all like, "what the hell are you doing in my house, bro?" Well first of all, I'm not your friggen bro. But second, you really should know who Colm Feore is. In fact, you probably do know him even if you don't recognize his name. He's been in countless movies and television shows. Well, I suppose I could count them, but it's a long list, spanning over 30 years. In honor of his upcoming role as King Laufey in Thor, we've put together a new edition of "Hey, It's That Guy," celebrating Feore's career. Enjoy.
Alright, this isn't the best film in the world, but when you're five years old, it's not too bad. And it manages to dumb down Cold War politics to a level that even a five-year old can grasp. In case you can't tell, I was like five when this movie came out, which also explains why Feore's Russian accent seemed so genuine to me at the time.
As you can see from the photo above, Feore had a huge part in Face/Off. OK, maybe it's a small role, but he does play the doctor in charge of the face-swapping surgery. Without him, there would be no Face/Off. Frankly, that's a world I don't want to live in.
When Andre Linoge shows up in the town of Little Tall Island during a blizzard, he sure seems to know a lot of the townsfolk's secrets. That probably has something to do with the fact that he's actually the demo Legion, and he wants one of the town's children as an heir. As far as made for TV movies from the 90's go, this has to rank on the high end on the list, thanks in no small part to Feore's performance as Linoge.
In 1999, Feore also played the real-life role of Richard Scruggs, a prominent Mississippi lawyer involved in a law suit against big tobacco. Looking at the picture above, it's easy to see why he landed the part.
This one goes out to all our Canadian fans (all five of you). In 2002, Feore won a Gemini Award for Best Performance by an Actor for his role as Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. I know what you're thinking: "what's a Gemini Award?" Well, it's like an Emmy award, but for Canadians. Now you're thinking, "what's a prime minister?" Well, he's sort of lik the American president, except white. Weird, right?
In The Chronicles of Riddick, Feore plays Lord Marshal, leader of the Necromongers, a warlike race attempting to reach the Underverse. As is the case with most warlike movie races, they'll stop at nothing to reach their goal. Based on this picture alone, it's clear that you do not want to f*ck with this guy.
In "Battlestar Galactica," President Richard Adar is an important character…for about five minutes. Unfortunately, he is killed off rather quickly when a nuclear apocalypse rips through his home world during a Cylon attack. However, despite his character's death, Feore did squeeze out some more work via flashbacks.
When the screen writers for 24 were taking their guess as to who would win the 2008 election, clearly they went with Hillary Clinton. That worked out well for Feore, who ended up playing First Husband Henry Taylor. Unfortunately, things didn't work out so well for his character, who ended up with a murdered son and a divorce.
Consider posting a comment.
Except he's never been "that guy" to me. I have adored him and his divine cheekbones ever since "Storm of the Century".
Btw, you forgot Highwaymen.
We didn't forget it, but we left out a lot. Glad to find a fellow Feore fan.
Thanks for this page.
Storm of the Century is where I first remember him from as well.
His best movie is "Bon Cop, Bad Cop"
Check it out sometime.
I've adored him for years, and actually went cross-country to Stratford a couple years ago just to see him on stage (Macbeth and Cyrano de Bergerac, he was brilliant in both). Can't wait to see him in Thor!
I love Colm Feore. And I think he's SEXY!! Yes!!!!
I must confess that after watching "Storm of the Century" I became quite obsessed with him. I love him in anything he's in!

I was looking for songs by David Bowie, one of my favourite singers, but I wanted to find something different than the brilliant Under Pressure which he performed together with Freddie Mercury and which is my "subway song" :) And I found another "coproduction", this time he teamed up with Nine Inch Nails, another band that I enjoy (Perfect Drug is their best song, I think, although I may interpret it more personally than others).
The funny thing is that I remembered to post a Bowie song when I heard a quote from Criminal Minds, a series I am watching:
Garcia: [To Reid and Morgan] When I was in the ambulance I could hear the song 'Heroes' playing in my head. I kept flashing in and out of consciousness and I remember thinking, 'Wait. Is David Bowie really God?'

LOWVILLE Dr. Manoj R. Vora of Lowville scaled Mount Everests summit in 2013, his final climb in his goal to reach the worlds seven summits.
After several months making the climb and acclimating himself to the local culture, Dr. Vora returned with insight into the Nepalese guides.
It is an insight he wishes to share following the April 18 avalanche at the Khumbu Icefall that killed 16 people. Thirteen were Sherpas, a Nepalese ethnic group in the Himalayas. For years Sherpas have assisted expedition teams on their quest to the 29,029-foot mountains peak.
Mountaineering as a sport is very dangerous, the doctor said. Everyone that partakes in it is fully cognizant of the risks, may it be the climbers or the Sherpas helping the climbers.
The avalanche caused discontent between mountaineers and Sherpas as the guides refused to make the trek for the rest of the season. Though the mountain has not officially been closed, Sherpas will not work. Some cite safety concerns while others seek better insurance and funds from the Nepal government.
When it comes to wealth, Dr. Vora likens the Sherpas to Americas top 1 percent. He said the average Nepalese income is $500, while the Sherpas make closer to $10,000 to $15,000.
The inverse relationship between bank balance and happiness balance has for the first time in centuries become evident in a culture known for perpetual bliss, Dr. Vora said, attributing the new value system to the Wests influence.
This mingling with Westerners has insidiously inserted a whole different value system in the Sherpas, the India native said. Greed was an unknown quality to this culture, which is now seen routinely.
Think of it this way, he said. If on the first day of a conflict, 16 American soldiers lose their life doing what they signed up to do, understanding the risks involved, does the entire military go on strike and stop defending the nation? Does the military hold the nation/government at ransom making opportunistic demands? Does the military turn against the very people it has vowed to defend?
Even so, the doctor described the Sherpas as trustworthy Buddhists with strong family values.
Please do not get me wrong, he said. My heart cries for the Sherpa loss. They are very loyal, to the extent that my personal Sherpa would risk his own life to safeguard mine.
Dr. Vora acknowledged climbing Mount Everest, especially the narrow passage between the mountains east face and west shoulder where the avalanche occurred, is dangerous. The walls of both sides have seracs, or blocks of ice, that dangle over the pass. But it is a risk that mountaineers and guides are well aware of when they climb.
In 2010, I witnessed one such serac fall, Dr. Vora said. Fortunately, the crash happened in an area where no one was present and therefore there was no loss of life. When traveling through the icefall, one is constantly vigilant for any movement that could make the whole flowing river of ice and blocks of snow unstable.
History has shown that people will always remember those lost, but eventually will move on from the tragedy, Dr. Vora said. Climbing did not halt after the 1996 blizzard that claimed eight lives.
It was agreed that the mountain would be climbed in the honor of the fallen, he said. That to me would have been a more fitting honor for the deceased rather than shutting down the south side.
I would invite people to not pass judgment on anything I say too quickly, he said. I would invite them to educate themselves with the realities which will help them understand what I say and why I say it.
Expedition teams are encouraged to climb the mountain, even as support from the Sherpa community has dwindled, according to CNN.

I am a 19 year old female undergrad. As a child, I was skinny and boyish and was raised to place high value on my intelligence and kindness rather than my physical appearance. Yet as I grew older, I became socially isolated, lonely, morose and depressive. While this went on for years, I began to notice that while I was exceeding in my academics (I was able to drop out of high school two years ahead of schedule to enter into a major public university), I never really felt good in my own skin
Last year, I decided to move on campus rather that commute to classes everyday. This turned out to be a tremendous mistake. Unable to connect with my dorm-mates, I ate my meals alone in my single room, made not a single friend, and rapidly began to lose touch with reality. Making basic decisions became an effort, and I lost weight due to my inability to make clear decisions regarding leaving my desk to feed myself. After a narrowly avoided suicide attempt, I returned home. My depression seemed to lessen and my rational mind returned, yet I began to become increasingly preoccupied with my physicality.
Over the summer I chose to alter my diet, cutting out sweets and fats. I began to work out and was impressed with how I was able to shape myself to suit my ideals. I then cut out meats, then carbs and starchy foods. My weight continued to drop, but the exercise had toned my body so I figured this was natural. But once classes started up again, I had significantly less time to focus on my health as I was devoting 100% of my energy to studies. It was then that I decided to begin seriously cutting my food intake to infrequent snacks of raw fruit or veggies and black coffee. After only a month or two of this behavior, I have been hit with painful throat infections, avoided contact with those few friends I have, feel cold all the time, ceased menstruating, and have to constantly push aside thoughts that I am dying. Despite being 5 ft 7 in and dropping to 110 pounds, I weigh myself obsessively throughout the day, lift my shirt to examine my abdomen. When don't like what I see, I dig my finger nails into the skin around my navel until I fear it will bleed.
I am a smart, supposedly empowered young woman, yet I have fallen into this trap I never saw coming. I want help, but the thought of giving over the reins to someone else terrifies and shames me. Again, I apologize for the extremely self-indulgent use of space.View Thread

This saloon has seen a lot of action I'm sure, if only these walls could talk! This bar belonged to the infamous Judge Roy Bean, known in those days as the "Law west of the Pecos". The signs say it all! You can find it in the town of Langtry Texas. Langtry was originally established by European Americans in 1882 of the Southern Pacific Railroad as a grading camp called "Eagle Nest". It was later renamed for George Langtry, an engineer and foreman who supervised the immigrant Chinese work crews building the railroad in the area. Roy Bean arrived soon after completion of the railroad and set up a tent saloon on company land. He later built a wooden structure for his saloon, which he called "The Jersey Lilly" (the sign maker mis-spelled her...

Can a 7-minute workout get you fit?

Quick. How many things can you accomplish in seven minutes?
If your list includes push-ups, the plank, stepping up on a chair and crunches, you're on the way to becoming fit.
At least that's what some new research concludes.
In the May/June issue of the American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness Journal, researchers suggest that seven minutes of high intensity interval training (workouts that alternate periods of high-intensity exercise with low-intensity recovery periods) is all one needs to get fit.
Oh really?
"There's very good evidence" that high-intensity interval training provides "many of the fitness benefits of prolonged endurance training but in much less time," Chris Jordan, co-author of the study, said in a New York Times article. Jordan is director of exercise physiology at the Human Performance Institute in Orlando, Fla.
The study found that, unlike traditional aerobics, high intensity circuit training (HICT) offers several advantages: (1) promotes strength development for the entire body, (2) uses large muscle groups to create appropriate resistance and aerobic intensity, (3) creates a balance of strength throughout the body, (4) can be immediately modified to increase or decrease exercise intensity, (5) is easily doable within a small training space, (6) can be done in most environments (e.g., stairs, benches, walls, etc.) and (7) the various exercises, or circuits, can be arranged to accommodate individual fitness levels.
According to the researchers, each circuit should last 30 seconds with a 10-seconds transition period between each. Total time for the entire workout is approximately seven minutes and, if desired, can be repeated two to three times.
To test this seven-minute workout, I tried it twice – once at home and once during one of the aerobics classes I teach. I followed the researches' prescription by incorporating the suggested 12-station HICT, with no equipment (except for a mat) and relying only on my body weight:
Here are the circuits I used:
1. Jumping jacks (works entire body)
2. Wall sit (works lower body)
3. Push-up (works upper body)
4. Abdominal crunch (works core muscles)
5. Step-up onto chair or steps in home/office (works entire body)
6. Squat (works lower body)
7. Triceps dip on chair (works back of arms/shoulders)
8. Plank (works the core muscles)
9. High knees/running in place (works total body)
10. Lunge (works lower body)
11. Push-up (works upper body)
12. Side plank (works the core muscles)
Pros: My heart rate and intensity level increased, especially performing jumping jacks and push-ups. (My class moaned when we did the wall sit, a great exercise to work leg muscles.) The circuit is flexible and can be done at home, at work or in a hotel when traveling. The workout was succinct and ideal for people without much time.
Cons: If done incorrectly, the plank and the squat could lead to an injury, sore back, etc. (Be sure to stretch and warm up before you start.) Participants may become too eager and add repetitions too soon. (Listen to your body. I suggest four to six weeks before adding repetitions.)
Overall, I rate the seven-minute workout a B+ and will likely use it again to mix up my fitness routine. I may even use it again with some of my students.

Until next time, I wish you good health, joy and wellness!

11 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Business Leader Interview
The hiring manager took the diligence to contact me and get to know my strength and experience. This is rare and most hiring managers didn't get the opportunity to do so because HR won't let it happen. You can't relax unless you already knew these people. This trumps diversity and you're expected to manage upwards. If you can please the top guy, then you shouldn't have any problem in getting hired.
Interview Questions
- The interview process is not about understanding your ability, but more to see if you can be a fit. That's a challenge unless you already know "how" to speak up. I was asked for an experience that is not listed in the job description, which is generic and vague to begin with, and no wonder I was not qualified. They also make you meet with several stakeholders and partners though it only matters if the top guy says "yes" so it's kind of a waste of time. Find someone via linkedin before interview so you can be prepared to see who you're dealing with. Answer Question

Business Leader InterviewAccepted OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Visa Inc..
Two interviews - one with the direct manager in the US over the phone, and the other with the local site manager face-to-face. The one with the US manager was very brief - some questions on my work experience and CV, the rest of the time spent on explaining what is required from the role. With the local site manager, it was a longer interview but again, less time spent on work experience and more time on explaining the team structure. Some situational questions but nothing too challenging. Much easier interview process compared to International Banks.
Interview Questions
- How did you deal with a difficult situation in the past? Answer Question
There is some room for salary negotiation, but very little - Visa relies a lot on its brand name to attract people, and salaries offered are generally at market rate already.
Business Leader InterviewNo Offer
Had in-person, one-on-one interviews with 7 people, 30 minutes each. Questions ranged on why I wanted the job to specific experience regarding the core job responsibilities.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (San Mateo, CA) in April 2013.
Phone screener with recruiter, two onsite visits all spread out over a month. Onsite visits lasted several hours. Some interviews in conference rooms, some in offices, and some over the phone. Most interview questions not terribly substantive and more general probing why I want to leave my current position, etc.

I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in April 2012.
The HR manager contacted me within days after I submitted my application for the job posting, and had a phone interview with the HR within a day or two (week #1). A week later (week #2) an HR coordinator scheduled a phone interview with the hiring manager (week #3), which followed by an in person interview (week #5). Had a final interview with the big boss (week #7), and received a call from the HR manager (week #8) to be informed that they have selected another candidate. Disappointed for not getting the job offer, but at least I had a closure.

Business Leader InterviewNo OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Visa Inc. in August 2012.
Applied for a job and was contacted by HR a few days later, but then played phone tags with HR person for over a week before finally getting to the HR screening interview. At the end of the screening, the HR person set up a phone interview with the hiring manager for the next day.
Interview Questions
- Overall, hiring manager was not a skilled interviewer. He didn't present the position when he started the interview, as many hiring managers do. I find that it is always great to hear the job description from the hiring manager as written job descriptions can sometimes be misleading or do not articulate clearly key requirements for the job. Instead, he started with a generic question, to which he had a specific answer in mind; however I didn't realize it until it was too late. Not ideal to start an interview! Answer Question

Business Leader InterviewNo OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ months. I interviewed at Visa Inc. in May 2011.
I applied online for the Business Leader position and was called for a phone interview within a week. Spoke with the recruiter whom I found pleasent about the position and my qualifications. Spent a long time foucsing on what she thought was the uniqueness of the position, almost to a point where I felt she was waiting for me to say I was no longer interested. Two weeks later I received a phone call on a saturday afternoon from a different recruiter to schedule a second phone interview this time with the hiring manager. The interview was scheduled with a conference call number. I dialed in at the appropriate time but the hiring manager never showed up. Eventually the conferencing system disconnected me. I immediately informed the recuriter who rescheduled me, but did not offer an explination or an appology. Finally I had the phone interview with the hiring manager who like the first recruiter spent most of the 30 minute phone call telling about the uniqueness of the position... again to the point where I felt like they were really just trying to scare potentials away. The following week I was asked to fly interview in San Francisco, which entailed Visa flying me out. The interview was scheduled for a Monday, but the Monday before it was cancelled for "scheduling" conflicts. Two weeks later I was reschedule. Visa flew me out and put me up in a nice hotel. I interviewed with 3 people (2 HR people and the hiring manager for 45 minutes each) in succession. The first HR person spent the entire time talking about how in her view Visa was a unique environment. The hiring manager spent most of the time reititering what was said during the phone interview. Very little was asked of me, and no direct questions were posed about how I would handle a situation, respond to something, etc. I was told I woild receive a follow-up by the end of the following week, and possibly a fourth interview would be scheduled. After three weeks I emailed the recruiter who told me they hadn't made a decision yet, but by the end of the following they would. That was five weeks ago, and 4 months from the initial phone interiew and I still haven't received a follow-up one way or the other.
Interview Questions
- Are you comfortable working in a vague environment? Answer Question
Helpful (2)
Business Leader InterviewNo OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Visa Inc. in May 2009.
The classic hurry up and wait, and in this case, never get a resolution. Got a call from HR about business leader position and talked with them a bit. Then HR wanted me to talk to the hiring manager right away, which I did for about 1/2 hr. Shortly after, I went in for office interview with hiring manager, few members of the team, and hiring manager's boss. Each was an individual meeting, not a panel interview. Questions asked were mainly of the "tell me about a time when..." type. I believe there was a hypothetical "if you could change a situation where..." type question as well. The interviews themselves were standard and not particularly difficult. Both HR and hiring manager said this was the final round and they'd let me know in a few days. Never heard from them again, even after multiple follow-ups to HR and hiring manager. If I come in for an interview, I think it is courtesy to close the loop, regardless of the outcome. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with the company, which is disappointing because I thought this particular business group would be interesting. From what I know of the current company culture (reading some employee's reviews for Visa will give you a sense) plus my negative interview experience, Visa is not a choice employer for me.

Turns out the alleged hacker is a Chinese "freelance security consultant in his 30s" who had published extracts of his IE6 exploit code as a work in progress. Although this man did not launch any attacks himself, according to The Financial Times, Chinese officials have "special access" to his work and are believed to have picked up the code.
The spyware's launch was recently traced to computers at Shanghai Jiaotong University and Lanxiang Vocational School, the first of which counts former government cyber security experts among its staff. Both institutions have denied involvement in the attacks, of course. The latest findings don't give a definite answer as to who was behind the attacks, but it might put some extra pressure on China to cooperate with the ongoing investigations.

Glenn Beck Explains His 'Antichrist' Comment, We Explain the Rest of It
A few days ago, Oscar winning director James Cameron got extra chatty with a Hollywood Reporter, er, reporter and let loose on anti-global warming zealots and Glenn Beck (and no, that last sentence wasn't meant to be redundant). It got so heated and ridiculous that it made me wish 'Celebrity Deathmatch' was still on the air and not in the claymation format.
Beck, of course, heard the comment in which Cameron claimed Beck had once referred to him as the "Antichrist". Beck dove into his archives, found the rather un-Christian reference he made towards the 'Avatar' director and post a full response to Mr. Cameron on his Wednesday show.
Of course, that's not the whole story.
In reality, yes, Beck was making a joke about Cameron being the "Antichrist" and Cameron took it more seriously than he should. Hollywood egos are among the most fragile substances in the universe. Just breathing on them in the wrong direction can cause them to collapse faster than an IKEA "Benno."
However, the comment Beck made wasn't just a lighthearted rant on the annoying sounds of Celine Dion's paint-peeling screechiness or the three-hour megaton of boredom that was Cameron's epic movie. If you read the rest of the transcript from Beck's CNN Headline News show, the reference was part of an intro to a story about a religious documentary produced by Cameron.
'The Lost Tomb of Jesus,' executive produced by Cameron and directed by Simcha Jacobovici, was a controversial documentary, which aired in the States on the Discovery Channel, about some interesting and some say questionable archeological findings about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Beck mentioned the uproar this film caused to launch into a rant about modern Christian persecution and conduct an interview with then-Catholic League president William Donohue, who basically denounced the film and the findings as a fraud.
So does this prove that Beck is a cover-up artist and liar? No. It was just an off-handed comment made as an editorial kicker for one of his many stories. Even though Beck made his stance clear that he believes in the resurrection story, the "Antichrist" reference in question was referring to other people who were critical of his documentary. This was barely worth the five minutes of airtime it got on a "news" network.
Still, I just enjoy getting the full disclosure on a cable news story when I can get my grubby, ink-stained hands on it. After all, the 24-hour news cycle is pretty pressed for time these days and fact checking must eat up a good fifteen or 20 minutes. Don't worry Fox, that one was on the house.
