Fool-Proof Reversed Card
Effect: A spectator chooses a card, replaces it, turn the deck over three times in their hands, snaps it, riffles it, shuffles it, whatever then they look through the deck to find it reversed.
The Method: All you need for this are two exactly alike cards in the same deck. Place one of the cards face down in a face down deck as the ninth card from the top. Place the other either 21st or towards the extreme bottom of the deck REVERSED!! Be sure never to touch the cards yourself during this trick and don't allow anyone to look through the cards for two of the same cards later, either. I find it works better if you use this deck for awhile because and extra card has unlimited uses and is hardly noticeable. Now set the deck on the table well squared and face down. Tell the spectator to choose a number between 10 and 20.(20 will not work) Tell them to count that many cards off the top of the deck, one at a time, (reversing the order) face down onto the table. Then have them add the digits together and count that many cards back off the top of the pile onto the deck. Have them flip over the next card. This is the pre-placed card. Make sure everyone (including yourself) sees it. If you messed up and this isn't the right card, they will discover the secret when they come to the wrong turned up card. Have them put this on the top of the deck and then put the others back on, too. Have them cut it however many times they want, and their card probably won't turn up, but only cut it two or three times because if it turns up too early they get suspicious. The key move is to have them turn the deck over in their hands 3 times the make them think they turned it over afterwards. Make this movement seem very important, stare at their hands intently and make sure it's three. This all adds to the effect. Now have them search through and find it. This trick is amazing to the spectator because you never touch it, and, like the name implies, is practically fool-proof. I use this almost every time I do a series of tricks.

Memorial Day events honor service, including police
Law enforcement officers are the soldiers of our urban streets
By PoliceOne Staff
As the nation pauses Monday to honor the brave soldiers who have gone abroad and sacrificed their lives for service, many commemorative events will also recognize law enforcement officers who keep us safe at home.
Jen Carver works for the Veteran Service Office at Weber State University in Utah, where a memorial in a campus veterans park will observe the day with oak trees wrapped in yellow for military, and blue and red for law enforcement and firefighting.
"The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Memorial Day is the avengers," Carver, who served in Iraq, told The New Haven Register. "…The people who actually do the job of avenging the U.S., the people who actually fight the wrongs. We have all the branches of the military, law enforcement, firefighters."
In Philadelphia, police and fire personnel will be honored at a Memorial Day service in Society Hill at the Philadelphia Korean War Memorial, NBC Philadelphia reported.
"They are the soldiers of our urban streets; they are the ones we look to for protection. When they put that uniform on and go out in the morning, they don't know whether they are coming back anymore than someone in Afghanistan that is going out on a mission [does]," memorial president Bill Kelly said.
Vetfriends.com has compiled a list of Memorial Day events by state.

A reputed mobster who led a phony hedge fund has been sentenced to seven years in prison for his role in a $20 million pump-and-dump scam.
John Baudanza, who ran American's Hedge Fund in his hometown of Staten Island, N.Y.—in addition to his reputed role as a foot soldier in the Luchese crime family—was one of 10 alleged mobsters charged in the 11-year-long scam last March. In addition to prison time, he was order to pay $22,500 in restitution to his victims.
According to federal prosecutors, the scheme—a collaborative effort among the Bonanno, Colombo and Luchese crime families—added a classic mob twist, strong-arm tactics and intimidation, to a classic pump-and-dump scheme. The racketeering ring operated from 1994 until 2005, prosecutors said.

My Top 200 Favorite Films
A list of my personal favorite films
Log in to copy items to your own lists.
Taxi Driver (1976)
A mentally unstable Vietnam War veteran works as a night-time taxi driver in New York City where the perceived decadence and sleaze feeds his urge for violent action, attempting to save a preadolescent prostitute in the process. (113 mins.)
" Since I was a teenager, it was a bit scary how much I've related to Travis Bickle. Everytime I watch this, he means something different to me, from misunderstood hero to sick psychopath to sympathetic monster to sad loser, which are all true in their own way. Scorsese at his dankest and druggiest, Schrader at his darkest and loneliest stage and De Niro at his peak. This movie has gotten me through some hard times. " - maneatingbear
Seven Samurai (1954)
A poor village under attack by bandits recruits seven unemployed samurai to help them defend themselves. (207 mins.)
" Sure, it's the great Japanese movie ever, the greatest samurai movie ever...but I think it's more importantly the greatest example of Kurosawa's opinion that great films touch on the human condition no matter no matter country you're from. The samurai and the farmers are both archetypes, often badass, but at the same time highly relatable. There's a ton of legendary heroism but ultimately it's about the bittersweet way the world goes around. Beautifully shot, it is the fastest 200 minute movie you can imagine. This is real cinema.

Daisuke Matsuzaka is now more than halfway through the six-year deal that he signed with the Red Sox prior to the 2007 season. And yet, somehow, he remains the source of absolute befuddlement.
The pitcher remains capable of dominating an opposing lineup, a notion evident as recently as Saturday, when he carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning against the Phillies. But he is also capable of running completely off the tracks, as he did in the fifth inning of his 4-3 loss to the Royals on Thursday. (Recap.)
Matsuzaka allowed just two hits, meaning that, in his last two starts, opponents are hitting just .077 against him (3-for-39). On the season, hitters have just a .218 mark against him.
Yet even with the Royals showing little ability to barrel his pitches, Matsuzaka walked a startling eight batters (matching a career high), including five in a three-run fifth (most by a Sox pitcher since May 11, 2002, when Darren Oliver matched that total). He added in a hit batter and wild pitch.
"Obviously, Dice kind of lost it for a little bit there," noted utility man Bill Hall, who played center and homered on Thursday.
Of course, every pitcher is entitled to such a game on occasion. Faltering command — along the lines of what Matsuzaka experienced in the fifth, when his fastball was missing the plate by several inches — happens on occasion.
But for Matsuzaka it is commonplace, even on nights when he is unhittable. He now has two games in his career in which he's allowed two hits and eight walks. No other active major leaguer can make such a claim.
Perhaps it is the language barrier or cultural norms that make the explanations for his struggles seem inscrutable. Even so, it is the case that his inconsistencies are explained by a dizzying (and ever-changing) number of theories.
Dating back to 2007, there have been issues related to the American baseball, the strike zone and the different batting philosophies of Major League Baseball hitters from their Japanese counterparts. There have been disputes over conditioning methods, and struggles adjusting to American hotel beds. On occasion, there have been suggestions that the signal calling of his own catchers are responsible for poor performances.
There have been shoulder problems, leg problems, back problems and neck problems. On Thursday, Matsuzaka (3-2, 5.77) suggested that "lower body soreness" contributed to a night in which the pitcher matched a career high by allowing eight walks, including five in a disastrous fifth inning.
"I think, mechanically, my lower body wasn't cooperating with me today, and I think I had to rely too much on my upper body," said Matsuzaka (through translator Masa Hoshino), who did allow that the soreness was not the sole cause of his poor outing. "It's been a long time since my body didn't cooperate like this. The velocity was there, but there was no movement or bite to my pitches, not to mention any command."
The description of that injury was somewhat puzzling, particularly since no one else on the team recognized it as a concern. Catcher Jason Varitek noted that the pitcher was "powerful," and his 92-94 mph fastball seemed, at times, did exactly what both the pitcher and catcher expected. Yet by the end of the night, Varitek was left to engage in a lengthy postgame discussion with Matsuzaka and interpreter Hoshino in the Sox clubhouse to figure out the cause of a game where it made little sense for him to struggle.
"He'd have it for a click. He was still powerful. And then, obviously, it would run awry on him," Varitek said. "He just couldn't find a way. Usually he can find one or two pitches to slow him down, but we just couldn't slow him down. He was pretty amped.
"Obviously, he was struggling with his command and his release point. At different times, he was able to throw through me. At other times, his arm would drag or his arm would be in front. I don't know what the answer is, but I know he'll do the work to try to figure it out."
There was a need to sift through the aftermath of this game. The notoriously impatient Royals, after all, should have been the ideal opponent for the Red Sox starter.
-- Entering Thursday, the Royals ranked last in the American League in walks (129).
-- They had taken free passes in a league-low 7.2 percent of plate appearances.
-- The Royals were the only team in the majors not to have walked more than six times in a game this year. In fact, all of the other 29 clubs had at least two games of seven or more walks prior to Thursday.
Yet the Royals looked like their lineup was comprised of nine clones of Kevin Youkilis on Thursday, thanks to a starter who often missed his spots by large margins.
Matsuzaka's walkapalooza resulted from a sudden and total loss of his fastball command. Through four scoreless innings, the pitcher had thrown 27 of 43 fastballs (63 percent) for strikes. Then … poof. He lost the ability to locate the pitch.
In the fateful fifth, Matsuzaka threw fastballs on 34 of his 42 pitches. Of those, just 13 (38 percent) went for strikes.
The Sox have had to resign themselves to the idea that, even on days when the opposing lineup can do little with his stuff, the pitcher will still seem reluctant to throw strikes. Since he broke into the majors, Matsuzaka has had seven starts in which he has allowed two or fewer hits but four or more walks, tied for the most in the majors (with San Diego's Chris Young) in that span. Opponents have hit just .243 against him (third-lowest in the AL among pitchers with at least 400 innings), yet his 4.35 walks per nine innings are the most in the AL during that time.
On the one hand, the pattern is frustrating for the Sox. It means that the bullpen stands a good chance of being taxed when Matsuzaka is on the mound, and it suggests that, on any given day, it will be unclear whether Matsuzaka will be able to position his club to win.
On the other hand, even when he is missing the strike zone, he has an ability to limit the damage. The fact that he allowed just three runs on Thursday amidst his terrible command lapse is a reminder that he is capable of a bizarre bend-don't-break style.
"That's kind of part of the pitcher that he is," pitching coach John Farrell said. "While the overall strike percentage might not have been the highest, he somewhat was effectively wild to his advantage."
In the fourth, Matsuzaka was able to narrowly escape disaster. After loading the bases with no outs, he got three straight pop-ups to keep Kansas City off the board. But, in the fifth, he could not sustain his escape act.
He walked Chris Getz, owner of a .263 OBP, on four pitches to start the inning, one of three leadoff walks he conceded on the night. After getting his only strikeout of the night, he walked Mike Aviles — just the second time that the shortstop has walked in 87 plate appearances this year.
He then gave up a run-scoring single, walked cleanup hitter Billy Butler to load the bases, then walked Jose Guillen to force in a run. After a forceout at the plate, Matsuzaka bounced a slider to push home another run. He concluded his night by walking Mitch Maier to re-load the bases. After 112 pitches (and just 60 strikes), Matsuzaka's night was done.
It was a game that highlighted the challenge of managing such a pitcher. Farrell noted that Matsuzaka "seemingly lacked command from start to finish." With most pitchers, it would be easy to determine that the pitcher was simply having an off night, and to make the call to the bullpen early in the fifth. With Matsuzaka, there is guesswork as to whether a game is getting out of hand or if he is about to conjure a way out of a crisis.
"The inning before, bases loaded, nobody out, he makes pitches [and gets out of it], But you keep doing that, at some point, you're going to get nicked up," Sox manager Terry Francona said. "We're sitting on the edge of our seat with the seat belt on. He wiggles out of it one inning, he came pretty darn close the next inning.
"It's a hard way to pitch successfully. He has a unique ability to get out of some of those situations, but it's a difficult way to pitch."
Yet that difficult pattern remains one that the Sox are unlikely to see Matsuzaka shed anytime soon. The 29-year-old is at a point in his career where a radical change is unlikely.
And so, the team is left to buckle up every fifth day, and hope that Matsuzaka leads the Sox to safety more often than he crashes.

Simply Red – Home Live In Sicily
C+ Sound: B Extras: C+ Concert: C+
Hucknall still has the voice, but where has he taken it since his peak years in
Simply Red? That is the question raised
by the new DVD release of Home Live In
Sicily. For starters, there was no
new material that really stood out. For
another, those expecting a Rock or Soul concert get something more akin to
Yanni or Tom Jones in mood, which will surprise those fans of 1980s music in
general. Hucknall certainly has
showmanship and good taste, though. Songs include:
Someday In My Life
Positively 4th Street
Lost Weekend
Home Loan Blues
A New Flame
Night Nurse
Something For You
You Make Me Feel Brand New
Money In My Pocket
Thrill Me
The Right Thing
Something Got Me Started
Holding Back The Years
Money's Too Tight To Mention
song will be most familiar to diehard Simply Red fans, but the one that always
strikes me as interesting is the cover of The Stylistics' You Make Me Feel Brand New.
Not only does Hucknall do all the voice parts, but he has such a large
voice that he does not need to do any falsetto.
That is also not to be confused with his chart-topping remake of If You Don't Know Me By Now, which is
missing from the playlist. The last
major pop hit from 1991 is also here: Something
Got Me Started, which offered a new Simply Red at the tine. The musicians he has for this concert are
pretty good too.
problem is that there are no surprises, nothing especially memorable, just a solid-at-best
concert that offers a good viewing.
Hucknall still has energy, but not much to say. His take on R&B has been questionable by
some, but though it is not first-generation authentic, it is sincere and
interesting overall. The use of Hall
& Oates' I Can't Go For That (No Can
Do) as the background of Sunrise
is the ironic conclusion of the set, as post-modern as any other Hip Hop
recycling and makes it feel like Hucknall ran out of ideas beyond remakes. It feels like another nail in the coffin of
original R&B, whether he intended it that way or not. We can only hope the next concert is more
alive, awake, and in consideration of the implications of the material. Home
Live In Sicily is safe, smart music entertainment at best that fans in the
neighborhood of the material will enjoy.
anamorphically enhanced 16 X 9/1.78 X 1 image is from the original videotaped
materials, but that has its usual limits.
Director Andy Morahan does an average job with the situation, despite
his Music Video background, though you can choose from two angles when watching
the concert. This is also available
under the "Mick Cam" option. The sound
has 5.1 options for the main concert and Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo for all
selections on the entire DVD. The 2.0
has some Pro Logic surrounds at best, but the main concert has the best
sound. The 5.1 options are Dolby Digital
and the better DTS mixes. The DTS gives
more of a soundstage and range, especially in the low end, where the R&B
really comes from. Extras include a
behind-the-scenes documentary (about 20 minutes), the Mick Cam, and two bonus
songs: The Right Thing (Live In Montreux) and You Make Me Feel Brand New (Live In Croatia). Too bad they are not DTS, but this is a
nicely loaded section of options that are fun.
When the concert does not work, these are nice goodies to turn to.

Tom Cruise Gets Brutal in First Official Trailer of 'Jack Reacher'
Tom Cruise lets out his inner cold-blooded killer persona in the first official trailer for "Jack Reacher". Storming the city with a red 1970 Chevelle SS, Cruise's titular character becomes a sort of most feared vigilante who doesn't hesitate to break some bones.
Reacher is a former military homicide investigator. He seeks the truth behind what seems to be an open-and-shut murder case after a trained military sniper is arrested for shooting five random victims.
The movie is based on Lee Child's bestselling novel. Cruise's casting as Reacher initially sparked controversy among fans of the book. The character is described as a 6-foot-5 man, while the estranged husband of Katie Holmes is only 5-foot-7.
Defending himself, Cruise once said, "For those of you who know the books, I'm obviously not 6-foot-5, like Jack Reacher. But Lee felt that I was the right guy to drive fast cars and kick the s*** out of people onscreen."
Written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, "Jack Reacher" is due to open in the U.S. on December 21. McQuarrie recently told Entertainment Weekly that Reacher is "an extremely pragmatic, matter-of-fact person."
"He's very solitary, but he can't walk away from a situation that needs to be made right. His own sense of right and wrong tie into that situation and he can't leave until it's been resolved. That's his Achilles heels."

Online mortgage approvals garner support
Relevant offers
Westpac Bank is reaping the rewards of extending its home-loan approval process to the internet, but the real acid test remains.
Last October, it became the first big Australian lender to offer prospective buyers the ability to get mortgages approved online, through its HomeClub website.
By December, more than 12,000 members had signed up to the HomeClub service, and 11 per cent of all home loan applications were made via the website.
HomeClub was launched earlier in 2012 as a central hub for house-hunting Kiwis, in an exclusive partnership deal with Trade Me.
The site is cross-linked with the online auctioneer's extensive property listings, and offers users several free QV valuations, street views, mortgage servicing calculators, and, most recently, pre- approval for loans.
Westpac head of retail banking Ian Blair said customers could get loan approval "sitting in your pyjamas at the kitchen table".
While they eventually have to visit a branch to sign documents and confirm income details, the conditional approval provided certainty "so you can wander around with a hunting licence".
State-owned Kiwibank is the only other lender to pre-approve mortgages online, a service it has offered for three years.
The real test of HomeClub's success will be whether it can help Westpac grab a bigger bite of the mortgage market.
The bank had $35.9 billion in home loans on its books in September 2012, before online approvals went live, for a market share of just over 20 per cent.
But Westpac may also measure the success of its investment by the value added for customers.
"I don't think [HomeClub] is driving growth, per se," Blair said.
"What it's providing is improved utility and functionality.
"When it [online approvals] will really take off is when you can include the advice side with the processing."
