Available on: DVD, Blu-ray
There's enough plot in "Contraband" for two heist movies, making it extra disappointing that director Baltasar Kormakur doesn't milk more tension from its hairpin turns and last minute twists. The film, adapted from the Icelandic hit "Reykjavik-Rotterdam," sets much of the action aboard a cargo ship, where ship routine, and hidden crannies, lend credibility to the action. Mark Wahlberg appears as Chris Farraday, retired from smuggling since marrying Kate (Kate Beckinsale), and fathering two sons. He's settled into running a successful burglar alarm company until his brother-in-law (Caleb Landry Jones) loses a cache of heroin belonging to brutal crime lord Tim Briggs (an aptly greasy Giovanni Ribisi) and Farraday agrees to repay the debt by smuggling a pallet of counterfeit notes out of Panama. Once in Panama, unforeseen complications set into motiona a series of derivative action sequences. Back home in New Orleans, Farraday's best friend Sebastian (Ben Foster) has promised to watch over Farraday's family. This slow-moving portion of the tale is important for its revelations. Saved by the occasional odd turn of events, this adaptation comes to life aboard the cargo ship, carefully filmed to illuminate its layout and inner workings. DVD or 2-Disc Blu-ray features: Commentary with Director/Producer Baltasar Kormakur and Producer Evan Hayes, deleted scenes, Making of featurette, Stunts and Action, English, French and Spanish language tracks. Exclusive Blu-ray features: film on both DVD and Blu-ray, Digital copy, Ultraviolet.
FROZEN PLANET: The Complete Series
Hosted by David Attenborough
BBC Video//Not Rated//Documentary//300 minutes
Available on: DVD and Blu-ray
Sir David Attenborough's presence should be sufficient reason to recommend "Frozen Planet," but this series stands on its own two icebergs. Episode one of six opens in the Arctic, where an amorous polar bear catches the sent of a female who leads him on a merry chase. Miles and hours later, he is deemed worthy and the two climb a snow-covered mountain. The arrival of a large, second male, clarifies the pair's reason for seeking privacy. A battle royale ensues, leaving both males bloodied, and one vanquished. This scene is one of many to chronicle rarely or never-before-filmed events. Coupled with spot-on narration, delivered by 85-year-old Attenborough, the six-part BBC series follows earthly rhythms that bring months of both continuous daylight and darkness to the North and South poles. Time-lapse photography illuminates the movement of glaciers, or changing seasons that attract and repel millions of birds and thousands of mammals. The camera takes viewers beneath the water and deep into the ice, to reveal stunning natural forms that appear to come from a different world, but are all part of our incredible frozen planet. 3-Disc DVD or Blu-ray features: Science at the Ends of the Earth: Examines scientific work being performed at the South Pole, Freeze Frame – A series of seven 10-minute "making of" featurettes, Production Video Diaries: 47 shorts made by the Frozen Planet producers, directors and camera crew, Frozen Planet: The Epic Journey – compiles the best moments of the series compiled into a 60-minute highlights special.
Directed by Robin Hardy
Starring Christopher Lee, Graham McTavish, Honeysuckle Weeks, Henry Garrett, Brittania Nicol
Anchor Bay//Rated R//Horror//96 minutes
Available on: DVD, Blu-ray
Intended as a companion piece to "The Wicker Man," this film follows an American cowboy (Garrett) and a white-trash beauty queen (Nicol), as they prosthelytize for the Lord on a trip through Scotland. Their plans are interrupted when a car accident strands them in the wee town of Tressock. Here the couple is persuaded to attend the annual town festival, little more than an orgy of pagan rites. Top-billed Christopher Lee, cast as the villain in "Wicker Man," shows up in a cameo, while Graham McTavish plays the real bad guy, a nuclear-power magnate. Adapted from the director's own novel, "Cowboys for Christ," the film is gory but fails to be scary or to develop its camp value. DVD or Blu-ray features: Behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted scenes, theatrical trailer, English or Spanish language tracks and subtitles, widescreen.
Directed by John Stockwell
Starring Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez, Ralph Brown, Luke Tyler, Mark Elderkin, Sizwe Msufu, Thoko Ntshinga
Lionsgate//Rated PG-13//Horror//114 minutes
Available on: DVD, Blu-ray
A dull shark movie that lacks bite, the film's surprise casting features Halle Berry and Oliver Martinez in the leads. It's been a year since one of Kate's (Berry) shark wranglers was killed by a great white while she was shooting a shark documentary. Weighed down by a guilty conscience, Kate is poised to lose her boat until her boyfriend (Martinez) brings her a rich businessman (Brown) with more money than sense. Willing to pay 100,000 Euros for the privilege of diving with sharks, he's obnoxious and might as well have "shark bait" tattooed on his forehead. Yes, there's Berry clad in a bikini to soften the effect of unfocused dialog, but when the climactic shark attack occurs during a squall, we can decipher neither the action nor her swim wear. DVD or Blu-ray feature: Trailer gallery.
SOUTH PARK: Season 15
Created by Trey Parker, Matt Stone
Voices of Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Mona Marshall, April Stewart
Comedy Central//Not Rated//Comedy//308 minutes
Available on: DVD, Blu-ray
Trey Parker and Matt Stone continue to lambaste popular culture, wedding their views on the iApple products to parody the horror "Human Centipede," renamed "HumancentiPad." They view the world through the eyes of arrested juveniles, telling their stories via fifth graders Stan, Kyle, Eric, and Kenny (all voiced by Parker or Stone), residents of South Park, Colorado. Among others, topics include, aging, occupy Wall Street, penis size, illegal immigration, gossip websites, racial conflict and Tyler Perry. This season seems slightly less clever as it ramps up its gross-out factors. 3-Disc DVD or 2-Disc Blu-ray set features: 6 Days to Air: The Making of South Park, 6 Days to Air: Behind the Scenes of "City Sushi," Mini-Commentaries on each episode by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Deleted Scenes.
Directed by Brad Bird
Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Jeremy Renner, Michael Nyqvist
Paramount//Rated PG-13//Action//133 minutes
Available on: DVD, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack
Cruise returns to the role of Ethan Hunt for this fourth installment of the "Mission: Impossible" franchise raking in a half billion per film. Lavish globe-trotting action depicts the Kremlin blown to bits and Cruise in Dubai, scaling the world's tallest building. After Ethan and his IMF crew are framed and branded as terrorists, they attempt to clear their names by hunting down a European baddie (Nyqvist) who plans to launch a nuclear holocaust. To fully immerse the viewer, director Brad Bird filmed the action sequences in IMAX, yielding exquisite detail. Cruise, 49, performs his own stunts — including one placing him 1,000 feet in the air when Hunt scales a glass and steel edifice. If you've got it, flaunt it. DVD features: Impossible Missions, The Sandstorm, Props, Deleted Scenes with optional director commentary, French, Spanish, and English language tracks. 2-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack features same plus: Film on both DVD and Blu-ray, Mission Accepted, Heating Up In Dubai, Vancouver Fisticuffs, Alternate Opening, Trailers, plus Portuguese language track. 3-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack features same plus: Suiting Up In Prague, Art Department, A Roll of Film, Life Masks, Stepping into the Storm, Dubai Car Crash, Lens on the Burj, Composer, Trailers.
Directed by Xavier Gens
Starring Rosanna Arquette, Michael Biehn, Courtney B. Vance, Milo Ventimiglia, Lauren German, Ivan Gonzalez, Jennifer Blanc, Michael Eklund, Abbey Thickson, Richard Thomas
Anchor Bay//Unrated//Horror//122 minutes
Available on: DVD, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack
"The Divide" is essentially post-apocalyptic, torture porn. Depicting a nuclear bomb detonating in New York, director Xavier Gens stylizes the attempted escape by the residents of one apartment building. Moments after the bomb goes off, a fortunate few are admitted into the Mickey's (Biehn) basement apartment, a place he has fortified to double as a bomb shelter. As the days wear on, no one is allowed in or out, causing dissension within the group. Well armed attackers try to enter, spurring Josh and Bobby (Ventimiglia and Eklund) to become increasingly warlike. Eventually, these young men unleash a reign of terror upon those locked in with them, turning a distraught mother (Arquette), and a nice young woman (German) into sex slaves. They do far worse to others, including viewers roped into this nasty, pointless story that fails to justify its existence. Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack features: film on both Blu-ray and DVD, English, French and Spanish language tracks.
* *1/2
Directed by David Lickley
Narrated by Morgan Freeman
Starring Dr. Birute Galdikas, Daphne Sheldrick
Warner//Rated G//Documentary//41 minutes
Available on: DVD, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack, Blu-ray 3D
This documentary, made for IMAX theatres to be presented in 3D, runs the length of a one-hour television show sans commercials. Few babies are more endearing than an orangutan or elephant. Since wild populations of both species are in decline, the film functions as a love letter to women helping wild animals to survive and return to the wilderness. In Kenya, Daphne Sheldrick raises orphaned baby elephants while in Borneo, Dr. Birute Galdikas labors to restore orangutan orphans to their native rain forest. Forty minutes is insufficient to chronicle such heroic deeds, or to see enough humorous, touching and gorgeous footage. Richard Leakey serves as creative consultant to this documentary that depicts raising and freeing the orphans. Afterwards, we wish for more. Perhaps that's the idea. DVD features: Digital copy, Webisode #1 – Borneo, Webisode #2 – Kenya, Ultraviolet, English, French, Hebrew, Spanish or English language tracks. Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack features same plus: Film on both DVD and Blu-ray, Digital copy, Webisode: Camp Leakey, "Wild" filmmaking, Caregivers.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – The '89 TV Season DVD
Created by Bruce Geller
Starring Peter Graves, Thaao Penghlis, Antony Hamilton, Phil Morris, Jane Badler, Terry Markwell
Voice of Bob Johnson
Paramount //Not Rated//Action//772 Minutes
Available on: DVD
Not to be confused with the superior "Mission: Impossible" TV series that ran from 1966-1973, this resurrection is silly and irritating, but occasionally adorable. A visibly lined Peter Graves returns as Jim Phelps, leader of the Impossible Mission force. Briefed via cassette tapes and photographs in the 60s, in 1989 each episode opens with Phelps meeting a character who guides him to a portable laser disc player. The new technology allows Phelps to see the target doing bad-guy stuff while listening to narration by Bob Johnson, who returns from the original series to explain the nuts of bolts of each new mission. Filmed in Australia to save money, the show suffers the loss of Martin Landau as the team's resident impersonator, but nepotism thrives in the casting of Greg Morris's real-life son Phil Morris as the team's technical expert. Jane Badler appears as its less than convincing femme fatale, but the show's main weakness are scripts that fail to drum up much-needed tension. More special effects are incorporated, but this final season, and its 1988 predecessor, constitute a sad end to an otherwise enchanting fantasy series. 4-Disc DVD features: Episodic promos on select episodes, Holiday promo.

Directed by Steve McQueen
Starring Michael Fassbender, Carey Mulligan, James Badge Dale, Nicole Beharie
Fox //Rated NC-17//Drama//101
Available on: Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack
A New Yorker's compulsive sexual behavior becomes an issue when his needy sister (Mulligan) arrives for an extended stay. Brandon (Fassbender) fears intimacy, but is addicted to sex. He seeks casual sexual encounters, and possesses the income to afford call girls. When time constraints prevent either of these, Brandon relies on Internet sites and pornography. The level of Brandon's addiction prompts him to take regular breaks from work. Meanwhile, his sister's self-destructive practices are expressed differently. She's insecure, cuts herself, and has attempted suicide. We may not understand how they reached this point in their lives, but writer/director Steve McQueen demonstrates a keen understanding of their behaviors and the manner in which these control everything the siblings say and do. 2-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack features: Film on both DVD and Blu-ray, shorts on Fassbender and McQueen, several making-of features.
Directed by Philipp Stolzl
Starring Alexander Fehling, Miriam Stein, Moritz Bleibtreu, Volker Bruch, Burghart Klaubner, Henry Hubchen

Based on the early experiences of German poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe (Fehling), when we meet the writer after he's failed his law exams in 1772, and has been sent to the quiet town of Wetzlar to study by his disappointed father (Hubchen). The young man's future in law appears brighter when he is befriended by a local, high-ranking court official (Bleibtreu), but Goethe strays from the subject at hand and falls for the lovely Lotte (Stein). She returns his affection, unaware her father has made a secret bargain to marry her to another. Goethe's efforts to deal with this blow helps him to find his voice on paper. DVD features: Making-of featurette, Visual Effects, theatrical and international trailer, German language track with English subtitles.

Dedicated with love to Daniel Taraschke
Michael Keaton is making a comeback? I didn't know he had ever left. I don't really understand the concept of creative comebacks with actors and actresses. I do think there is such a thing as a public perception comeback, which is exactly what Michael Keaton is experiencing right now with Birdman. The movie will almost certainly score him an Oscar nomination, which would surprisingly be the first one of his career. That's good for Keaton, and his performance has been singled out for a significant amount of praise, in a movie that is drawing good notices from virtually everyone who has seen it.
Call it a comeback? I guess you could. This is probably the most attention Keaton has received in nearly twenty years. It's not as though he's been in retirement since then. He has worked extensively in television and film, giving great performances in things likeKing of the Hill and Game 6, while inexplicably showing up in films like First Daughter andHerbie: Fully Loaded. He dropped off the radar, but has continued to do interesting work as an actor. He even directed the film The Merry Gentleman, which I recommend highly.
Over the last several years, Keaton has taken on supporting roles, TV show guest spots (he was good in 30 Rock), and low-profile gigs. That's fine. It's just weird to me that people are now referring to him as though he just magically became a good actor again. He didn't. He just happened to find a project that knew how to use his talents as an actor properly.
And there are a lot of examples of that kind of thing. People claimed Mickey Rourke was on the comeback trail with The Wrestler. Anyone who saw Sin City will tell you how completely wrong the first group is. People call Al Pacino a hack, but I can guess with a pretty high level of confidence that a lot of those people haven't seen You Don't Know Jack. Jessica Lange didn't suddenly become a great actress again with American Horror Story. William Shatner proved with Boston Legal that when it comes to jokes about William Shatner, no one's better at delivering them than the supposed punchline.
Even Nicholas Cage proved that with the right project, in his case, it's the movie Joe, good actors are always good actors. In a few years, Johnny Depp is going to do a movie that makes even his most disappointed fans claim that he's returned with a vengeance of some kind.
I think actors can get bored, lazy. They can get stuck dealing with how the public wants to perceive them. But I also believe that the concept of a creative comeback more often than not comes down to the actor simply finding a film or even a television show that plays to their strengths. I also think there's an argument to be made for the idea that expectations or perceptions for an actor can become so high or so specific, they suddenly become underrated.
People are surprised by Michael Keaton's work in Birdman. I'm not.
St. Vincent (2014): B+
The story of a boozy, aged malcontent becoming the reluctant mentor to a small child is not a new one. However, Theodore Melfi's writing/directing debut proves the old adage that when the story is told well, it doesn't really matter how familiar it is. The story itself does get dangerously close to being too sentimental, but an exceptional cast keeps the blunt, somber undertones of the script alive and well.
As you might imagine from watching the trailer, the movie promises one of the better comedy/drama mixes you're going to come across. Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy both help to maintain the balance. This is definitely Murray's show, in the end, but McCarthy deserves just as much praise for elevating the thankless role of the mom who is too busy working to get drunk in the afternoon, hang out with Russian prostitutes (Naomi Watts), or go to the racetrack. McCarthy becoming a star in recent years has led to a number of dismal projects that are well beneath what she's capable of. St. Vincent is an intriguing project for her. She has to play a part that's considerably lower key than something like Bridesmaids, and she has to be funny in that kind of thing with Bill Murray as a co-star. The fact that she does so well with both of those tasks is one of the many pleasant surprises to be found here.
Chris O'Dowd as a priest is another, but make no mistake about the fact that Murray and Jaeden Lieberher (as the child) are petty perfect together. Their relationship has to be the main driving force behind the movie. Murray gives one of his best performances in recent memory. Lieberher is perfect foil, and manages to avoid being the kind of precocious brat you want to hit with a shovel. St. Vincent is an excellent debut feature, and it is fine work from everyone in the cast. It may well be one of the best comedies of the year.
My Darling Clementine (1946): A+
My Darling Clementine is nearly seventy years old. Yet it remains not only one of the best westerns in film history, but also perhaps the best cinematic retelling of the 1881 Gunfight at the OK Corral. Some people will tell you that no one has ever equaled John Ford as the definitive filmmaker for the western genre. When you watch Peter Fonda, Victor Mature, Walter Brennan, and Cathy Downs in the film that flawlessly utilizes light and shadow, effortlessly turns the scenery into a supporting character all on its own, it's hard to argue with those people.
The film still has enormous educational potential in this day and age, particularly in terms of how to establish and maintain atmosphere. If you don't care about that, and you also don't consider yourself to be someone who likes westerns and/or old films, it may still be worth your time to see My Darling Clementine. It may not make you a fan of westerns, but it will remind you that when you use age and genre as disqualifiers for a movie, you might miss out on those movies that transcend tidy descriptions.
Harper (1966): B+
Harper is a little too dated to stand at times. It's also not the best movie Paul Newman made in the 60s by a long shot. Even so, it's a private detective story that manages to retain most of the fun it strove to capture, in bringing one of these plots (detective looks for a missing person, and the case only gets more complicated and dangerous from there) into what was then the present.
Harper connects itself to the lineage of its type with Lauren Bacall in fine form, but this is still a Paul Newman vehicle. This is also a movie (and the same can be said for its 1975 sequel) that has become a little obscured, compared to some of the more well-known Newman performances. If you're a fan of vintage Paul Newman, the tough, cool, sophisticated leading man of some six decades, Harper will be a good time. If you're not a big fan of Newman's, you may still like this as a very distinctive product of its time.
Muppets Most Wanted (2014): C-
We're just about at that point in which we all remember why it's best for the Muppets to take extended breaks.
For now, their comeback story hasn't quite overstayed its welcome. Muppets Most Wanted is good, but it's certainly not the wonderful surprise that the 2011 film proved to be. It's a little too long, some of the songs are awful, and there are long periods of time in which nothing even close to funny happens. Then there are moments in Muppets Most Wanted so funny, so true to the spirit of these characters that were created by Jim Henson so many years ago, you're glad they're back in the good graces of pop culture.
The opening musical number alone is one of the best things ever put in a Muppets film. Ricky Gervais is the kind of villain you expect him to be, and there's nothing wrong with that, when it works. It works for the most part. Many things in Muppets Most Wanted do. There are just lengthy parts of the movie that feel strained, and drag things down a bit as a result. Muppets Most Wanted is pretty good to fans and kids. Everyone else is going to get to the end, and hope that the next film (and there will be another one) will be substantially better than this.
Sylvia (2003): C-
It's a little strange to remember that before James Bond, Daniel Craig played some pretty shitty human beings. Sylvia is a biopic that fails to capture the tumultuous relationship shared by poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, but it does get a few things right. Or at the very least, it tries to just enough to stay interesting from start to finish.
One of those things is in how the film smartly avoids making Hughes a sympathetic personality. The emphasis for Sylvia is rightly placed on Plath's struggles with mental illness, with trying to remain a writer after having children, and her obsessive desire to understand and conquer her demons and growing fits of madness with poetry. Gwyneth Paltrow is not an actress I'm ever going to be particularly fond of. But I can't deny that inSylvia, she tries very hard to make us appreciate what Plath went through, during a time when mental illness was even more stigmatized than it is now, and with a husband who from all accounts underestimated a great deal about her.
In the end, lousy chemistry with Craig combines with a dreary, sluggish pace, and the result is something that unfortunately does not tell the story of this remarkable writer in the way that one would hope. It's not a complete waste of time by any means, but it's not what it could have been.


text: Recently we showered the newest member of our extended family, and of course, there was food. I didn't actually prepare any of this food, but loving hands chopped, cleaned, prepared and arranged some lovely snacks for a hungry, happy crowd. Wine, punch and sparkling water were also on hand, as well as bottles of beer for the hubbys who snuck downstairs to watch the ball game and avoid baby shower games! A great time was had by all, and delicious cookies and cupcakes courtesy of Nat's Yummies ended the party on a sweet note.

I just booked 2 different hotels for vacation. I looked up hotels in the general vicinity of where I'm going because I don't know what's there. One hotel that showed up on hotels com was less on that site. The other was less when calling directly. I got both at the lower price, but hotels are putting the prices up on the booking engines.
And, I didn't book hotels 5 weeks ago when I got my flight because I was looking for something less expensive. The hotel I booked today was $60 less/night than it was in Feb. Hmmmm.
Another vacation travel item - our credit card, the one we put the flight and the car on, emailed us with all the details of how we are protected using this card. What they cover in re the car rental, what they cover for emergency cancellations, etc. I thought that was helpful, albeit a bit big brotherish. More like, 'Hey, we noticed you booked plane tix and a car, you must be going on vacation!'
Most people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are one's mistakes. - Oscar Wilde

I absolutely LOVE people who pay with pennies!
Seriously. 4 years ago, I'm cashiering at a whacky mart on a register that holds all the smokes and alcohol. It's 10pm and these two young men (early 20s) come up to the counter. They have three random novelty items (I don't remember they were), but it was strange and unusual to get odd items this late at night. Maybe it was for some fraternity, I don't know. It's a college town so I get weird stuff from frats a lot. I scan the items and tell them their total is $22.xx.
Grinning at each other, they reach into their jackets and slam down two gallon zip-lock bags, full of only pennies. I stare them in the eye, but they didn't even look back at me. Everyone else in line groan and went to other registers. These two kids knew what they were doing, but they didn't know what they were in for because I prepared for this; I knew this was going to inevitably happen. I grinned with them, because I was gonna get paid during this. These pranksters are here for recreation. This convo occurs between Me, Ringleader (the other guy was silent and awkward), and a friendly coworker of mine.
Me: Is this $22.xx?
Ringleader: …
Me: Did you count it?
Ringleader: Nope.
Me: Are you going to?
Ringleader: Nope.
Me: Is it at least $22.xx?
Ringleader: Don't know.
Me: Nice.
Coworker: Hey! You guys can use the self checkout. It can take all of your coins at once.
Me: Oh, don't worry about it Cowor–
Ringleader: Nope, don't trust them lady. (Partner laughs)
Coworker: What? Why!?
Ringleader: Doesn't count all your change right.
Coworker: I've used them before. It really works!
Me: (to Coworker) I got this.
I unpacked the ziplocks and threw all the pennies on the counter. It was a beautiful, massive shitstorm of a mess. And I digged in it. I was Frank in a dumpster in 'It's Always Sunny'. The two, still averting my gaze, start chuckling as if they were taking away my dignity. They whisper to each other "Dude oh my God," "Dude yeah," "Dude, hilarious." I counted each penny, one by one. My coworker comes up to me.
Coworker: Guess I'll help you count this.
Me: Don't worry about it.
(She looks at me confused. Then she puts on her 'get down to busy' look.)
Coworker: I got your back.
Me: Oh…ok.
We worked up a system where we counted ten, put them in a pile, then with ten stacks of ten pennies we separated them, making $1 piles. We made progress slowly but surely. Some customers came to the line, but we advised them to get to another line. Some of them looked at us confused, but when they saw the counter full of pennies they understood. Some decided to wait, but when they realized it wasn't going to take just a few minutes they took their leave. Another register in the liquor department opened so it wasn't too bad for other customers. We get to about $12 (about 10min in) until I "knocked" over the piles.
Coworker: Neontonsil!
Me: Oops. Sorry.
(Coworker looks at my grin. I give her a wink and tilt my head, motioning her to leave)
Coworker: You know what, I think I better let you do this.
Me: Ha, alright.
(Coworker leaves. I look at the two guys. They are absolutely stunned at the fallen piles of pennies.)
Me: (To Ringleader) Yeah, I'm going to have to count all of this again.
Ringleader: ….Ok.
I started from zero. I count slower then ever, and made my way back up. The duo is entirely silent. I get to about $7, when suddenly I say:
Me: Drats. I lost count. I better start all over again.
Ringleader: Really?
Me: Oh yeah man.
Ringleader: Why!?
Me: I lost count, sir. I could be in trouble if my register doesn't have the right amount of cash, and I don't want to rip you off.
Ringleader: …
It's about an hour later. My manager walks past, looks at me. I smile at him, and he looks at the counter. He walks away without a word. I eventually count all the change and surprisingly they had only $18!
Me: Hmm, I think that this is $18.
(The duo has been dead silent. They look done for the night.)
Me: I'll recount it.
I fucking recounted it.
Me: I think this is actually $19.xx.
(Without a word, the Ringleader whips out a $5)
Me: Seriously? You had cash?
Ringleader: Needed to get rid of my change.
Me. No problem. I'll just recount this again. I want to make perfectly sure that this is $19, since I counted $18 the first time.
Ringleader: Are you kidding me?
(I shake my head no, completely serious)
He takes out a $20 bill straight out of his pocket and throws it at me. My coworker gives the biggest WHAT THE FUCK face. Internally, I die as well, because they were smart enough to have a backup plan. And the fact that he was touching his cash in his pocket the entire time kinda messed with me. I take the cash, do the transaction, give him his change, thanked him and wished him a good night. The two start to put their pennies back in the ziplock bags and I didn't help them at all. I watched them just as how they watched me. Lots of pennies dropped to the floor, but they didn't care to pick them up. It looked like their souls were sucked out of them. It was past midnight and I clocked out way past when I was supposed to. A lot of my coworkers gave me a thumbs up or told me good night. Even my manager told me 'good job,' the only two words he ever said to me. Went to bed at the dorms after such a great petty penny night and crashed. Strange to say, but I'd love to count pennies again.
TL;DR I recounted 1900 pennies like 5 times. Was it 5 times? I better count again.

Romania is full of beautiful, energetic and groovy #music. The house genre is one of the country's most popular musical exports, with artists like Inna, Alexandra Stan and Edward Maya leading the scene. Famous for its use of "popcorn" plucks, rhythm guitars, saxophones and accordions, Romanian #house is currently dominating the electronic dance industry.
Like the aforementioned Inna and Alexandra Stan, there's one more Romanian artist under the Global Records umbrella that's taking house by storm. That artist is Antonia. To celebrate #MixtapeMonday here are three songs that will undoubtedly make you fall in love with the Romanian singer.
3. Antonia - "Chica Loca"
Global Records' roster of artists is impeccable and leading the team is Antonia. "Chica Loca" is one of Antonia's most known songs due to its catchy rhythm and unforgettable hook. Definitely one of my favorites from the amazing singer!
2. Antonia - "Dor de Tine"
I don't speak or understand Romanian but I still enjoy Antonia's latest song "Dor de Tine." The track is hot, catchy and has an international vibe that will sure place Antonia on the worldwide stage.
1. Antonia - "Marabou"
Only one word describes "Marabou" and that word is perfection. The song will take you on a trip through your favorite tropical getaway and the music video will leave you speechless, seriously. "Marabou" is my favorite Antonia song and I'm not afraid to say it!
What are you waiting for? Go listen to Antonia now!

text: Hello, I have a Droid X that was purchased on 8/27. PRICE: $435 REASON FOR SELLING: My Mom bought the Droid X after her Storm got ran over by her Jeep (long story). She went to our local independent dealer and bought the X. Then the Fascinate came out and I got one, they had the 2 for 1, and she liked that phone better. So we were going to take the X back to the independent dealer so we could get our free Fascinate, but could not find the box and they would not return it. So I went to an official Verizon store and the guy there went ahead and somehow got our free Fascinate and we got to keep the X. So, we don't need the extra phone thus we are selling it. CONTENTS: (1) Droid X, (1) adapter, (1) blue gel case. BONUS: (1) blue gel case at no extra cost!

Hello people!
Well, I need some tips...
Me and my wife to be had our honeymoon planned at the end of september for Yosemite, but with the huge fire burning there had to change our plans. Actually the cabin we rented suffered a lot of damage and the ranch is closed till next year. Wanting to enjoy Yosemite to it's full glory, we decided to delay this trip and focus on another part of central California : Big Sur.
The thing is, I was really looking forward to fishing the sierras and Yosemite, I had even booked a guide for the trip... Now, I can see that there are less opportunities to fly fish for trout in Big Sur, at least it's the impression I have.
So here is the help I need, I'd like some information on available water where I might be able to enjoy a nice stream or river with the chance of catching some fish. Just some general guidelines... From there, I can explore and find good spots!
If you prefer to give the info private, PM me please! I would be very gratefull if someone wanted to share some info to a fellow angler from up here in Canada!
Thank you!

You knew that. But some of the interesting things going on… maybe you haven't been noticing them.
Best, by far, among the interesting and not human is a certain kind of extra-terrestrial entity activity. ("E.T." for short.)
As you know, this isn't a paranormal blog. So normally I don't celebrate goings on among extra-terrestrials. But, really, this is way too good to keep to myself.
My usual relationship with extra-terrestrial entities
Extra terrestrial entities can unwittingly be a nuisance. Keep in mind, I'm not discussing space travel, spaceships that land in New Mexico or other places.
Instead, in 1985, I learned about E.T. entities that cling to a person's aura or haunt a house. I learned about E.T. entities courtesy of study with an organization known as Teaching of the Inner Christ. I learned how to facilitate healing of this type of "ghost"-like STUFF.
After being named a Lay Minister, and invited to teach the full range of energy healings, I began to teach and use this rather specialized way of freeing up people from astral-level debris.
Indirectly, I learned a bit about E.T.s: What they were like, how different ones would respond to a healing. My focus was always human life — mine and that of my human clients. The aim was human results, not fascination with the paranormal or The Romance of the Astral.
Still, it's like what would happen if you worked part-time in any field. You would learn quite a lot about the types of people involved, their "frequency" as it were. CONTINUE READING

- Reuven Tenam's Story Part Five: Be Careful of Easy Answers
For my sister to manage a store she needs access to money. I get her a debit card with the instructions to purchase only what I approve and to pay people who are helping to put the store together while I am gone.
Since I know nothing about the vaping world, I am looking for a consultant to help me. So, I put an ad in CASSA for this help. I get a call from a guy in Florida and he says, "I read your add and I think I can help you." We start talking. This gentleman, who will be nameless for legal reasons, played a very big part in this story.
We start talking every day starting in February. By the time I get to Asheville we are the best of friends and we still haven't met. He writes a blog about vaping, he is teaching me everything he knows at that time, he was vaping for 3 years already, and all he wants to do is work in this industry. Now, I never really had a website so he says, "I will build you a website and handle all your social media. I will build you the site for 650.00 and for 50.00 I will start your FB, Twitter and Reddit account."
"Reddit? What is Reddit?" I ask. So, he tries to tell me but I am too busy and I trusted him.
Fast forward to April; I went on vacation to Florida with my family and left my sister to put the store together with my instructions.
This is what her boyfriend was telling me while I was in Florida, "Your sister is taking things home from the store; flavors, hardware, etc. She is buying stuff without telling you."
I am amazed. I told her to stop and she said, "I am buying what we need. Don't worry about. I will show you the receipts."
"Ok," I said, "but, be careful."
I get back to the store at the end of April and doing the final touch ups to the opening. I hire 3 people plus my sister. I open May 12 2014…
What happens when the store opens? Find out more next week!

- Reuven Tenam, A Vaping Entrepreneur With a Story to Tell…Part Four
Reuven, a Vape Shop entrepreneur decides to start his Vape business in North Carolina. As many of us do, he looked for logical answers. In his case, that was hiring his sister to run it. Make sense? Well, you be the judge!
I pack up the truck with all the merchandise I bought from China, and bottles from the US, and I ordered flavors and so on. I get to Asheville at the end of February and I finally see the location!
I like it, sign a lease, and start putting it together.
From that day when my sister and I started putting it together, things went bad. It turns out that my sister has a lot of issues:
- She never sleeps, stays up to 4 am, and wakes up 10 or 11 am. I find out she has no sense of time. I'm surprised because she used to work for a call center handling problems for a time share company
She was the manager of that dept. So when I questioned her about retail she said it's easy, "I handled multiple transactions on many different levels." At this point I figured, "Let's just put this together."
All we did was fight over flavors and merchandise. She said that, "I am a computer wiz," (full of it I found out).
I said find things such as we need a merchant. She finds a company called Smartwerkx.
It's completely not what I need; too expensive and too complicated.
I put those responsibilities in her hands so I gave them $500.00 as a deposit for training. Waste of money!
When we finally opened the store she spent 2 weeks trying to install the inventory in the system. They would not help us and all they wanted was a lot of money to sell us the register and the draw. They gave me a merchant to setup the credit card sales and that person had us sign an agreement and then never came through with the printer and the system.
The one good thing my sister did do was to introduce me to Leslie. She's my manager to this day. I met Leslie in March and she was going to handle my marketing. She used to work with my sister but they both ended up getting fired…I should have known!
All my sister did was argue with me and act as if she was my boss.
Now I am paying her $350.00 a week.
In March, I go back and forth between New York and North Carolina two times buying furniture and show cases. All this time I am running my plumbing company.
In April, we are putting the store together and I go back and forth 10 days there and 2 weeks in NY.
Finally, the store is together. It took lots of time, lots of money, lots of choices, None the less, it's done.
Next week, let's see what happens.

- Reuven Tenam, A Vaping Entrepreneur With a Story to Tell…Part Three
Now my wife is not happy about this because she thinks my sister is crazy; a liar and a thief. Ha, I should've listened…or maybe not. It's still too early to tell.
I finally got the ball rolling.
It's now December before she finds a location. She says it's good…I said shoot me some pic's. I look at and it does look good. Its 1200 square feet of new building at $1200.00 month rent. All I have to do is start to build some walls, a couple of rooms, and put the place together.
I figure, all together, $25,000 max investment less merchandise with 3 months up front rent.
Here is where the issue with the space: The landlord wanted 3 months plus the last 3 months rent on the lease for a 3 year lease. I don't mind the 3 months up front but I won't pay for the back end of a lease even though it was a very good location.
Search continues and two more months' pass. Is my sister even working this?
In February she finds another location. Its 1600 square feet, fully built, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, 3 complete rooms. All I have to do is assemble furniture, show cases, some odds and ends, and build a clean room for juice…making which for me is very easy.
I looked at the pictures, she liked it, and I said, "Let's do it."
Now that Reuven has found a location…What's Next? Find Out Next Week!

- Reuven Tenam, A Vaping Entrepreneur With a Story to Tell…Part Two
Reuven Tenam, is like many of us, a Vaping entrepreneur. Last week he shared the first installment of his personal story. This is the second part!
Boy was I busy…buying merchandise, cleaning supplies, bottles, flavors, and creating contacts. While I was doing this in Brooklyn, in my home, I was also looking for a location in my area.
It occurred to me that maybe I should look into possibly finding a franchise to work with. I'm looking around and the only company that contacted me was Mad Vapes. They offered licensing only. I asked to meet with someone and they set up a meeting the COO…not in New York, but I've got to go to Charlotte for that person to show me around. I said ok.
I booked a flight, told my sister about it, and she came to Charlotte to meet with me and the COO. We toured 3 stores and they took me to their retail building and wholesale building.
It was invigorating and after that day I was hooked.
My sister and I went back to Asheville where I spent that night and the next day we created a plan.
One thing my sister said is that I should consider opening a shop in NC because tax laws are cheaper and regulation, "…may not affect you as much as this is a tobacco growing state." I left the following day back to NY and thought about what to do. I weighed out the pros and cons to opening in NY or NC:
1- NC, cheaper rent
2- Sales price point on all products will be the same in either state if I want to sell a lot.
3- Space for rent much larger in NC.
4- People are a bit kinder and more acceptable in NC.
5- I am running a plumbing company that is not going away and my son who works for me is coming into his own so this can work in NY.
6- NC, there are only 3 shops in the whole town and only one was nice. I couldn't miss, I thought!
7-I hire my sister to manage the store so I have 2 people I can trust while I travel back and forth, and I can stay in my sister's house when I am in town.
8- Asheville is a beautiful town; great food, atmosphere, and I love the mountains.
It took a few days and I decided to open in Asheville. And that's when I should have shot myself in the head, (Jewish slang.) LOL
So now I told my sister to start looking for a location, and this is what she said, "I have a job looking after this old woman and the family pays me $12 hr. You need to pay me at least $200.00 a week for me to do this so I can devote all my time to this and I can quit my job."
I'm thinking, "Are you kidding me?" Never mind, I don't remember how much she was getting a week in total but I agreed. It's my sister I help her she helps me, right?
What did Reuven decide?We will have more of Reuven's story next week!

- From The Beginning, An Autobiographical Account Of One Vapor's Journey To Create A Store, Brick and Mortar and Online
Reuven Tenam, July 29th, 2015, VaperSerum.com
Since I am not a writer all I can do is start from the beginning.
October 2013, I have been vaping for over a year and making my own juice for the last 8 months. I started vaping Memorial Day weekend 2012, and I remember that day like it was yesterday.
At the time I was smoking for 32 years, not a heavy smoker, around 1/2 a pack a day and at times even more, depending on how my day was going. At the time I had my job/career, and I was a small business owner. To this day I still do plumbing here and there.
As I started vaping I noticed the need to smoke become less and less. One day, in October 2013, I am looking to buy juice and some hardware online when I thought to myself, 'Why not open a vape shop in Queens or Brooklyn'?" At that time there were maybe a couple of shops at best, so I figured now would be a good time.
I remember looking at the screen and saying, "I can do this!" At that time, I was doing DIY juice and I liked my stuff.
I thought to myself, "How hard can be to sell it?"
The answer is: It's hard and extremely time consuming to make it really good to resell.
At that time, my sister, who lives in Asheville NC, and I were talking and starting to get to know each other better. For a long time we led completely different lives and really never had any kind of relationship; practically strangers. I am the older brother and I haven't seen my sister in 4 years, and when we did see each other it was due to a family event. Otherwise, there was no communication between one another.
I started speaking to my sister near the beginning of 2013 because I figured enough was enough. I am now 51 and she is my family. Just to let you know, my sister never has money, is always broke, is a divorcee with a daughter in college, and a son in high school. I won't go into those details.
Now my sister and I are communicating a lot and I am feeling good about her. It's been too long since I have been able to say, "I have 2 sister's!" (My parents and my other sister live in Florida and I communicate with them regularly.)
On the day that I decided to get into the vaping business I called my sister, she got excited. From that day forward I started putting things together.

"Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of man." John Steinbeck
It's really quite simple. Ruining the work of any great writer.
It could ruin anything ad copywriters, novelists, screen writers, poets or theologians write.
And the greatest writers — David Ogilvy, Eugene Schwartz, David Mamet, James Joyce, John Gresham, C. S. Lewis, Ludwig Wittgenstein — they are not and were not ever immune to it.
That's why they avoided it like the clap …
Resisted it and sought its opposite. [Read more…]

Hypohydration, or a body water deficit, is a common occurrence in athletes and recreational exercisers following the completion of an exercise session. For those who will undertake a further exercise session that day, it is important to replace water losses to avoid beginning the next exercise session hypohydrated and the potential detrimental effects on performance that this may lead to. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the research related to factors that may affect post-exercise rehydration. Research in this area has focused on the volume of fluid to be ingested, the rate of fluid ingestion and on fluid composition. Volume replacement during recovery should exceed that lost during exercise to allow for ongoing water loss however ingestion of large volumes of plain water results in a prompt diuresis, effectively preventing longer term maintenance of water balance. Addition of sodium to a rehydration solution is beneficial for maintenance of fluid balance due to its effect on extracellular fluid osmolality and volume. The addition of macronutrients, such as carbohydrate and protein, can promote maintenance of hydration by influencing absorption and distribution of ingested water which, in turn, effects extracellular fluid osmolality and volume. Alcohol is commonly consumed in the post-exercise period and may influence post-exercise rehydration as will the co-ingestion of food. Future research in this area should focus on providing information related to optimal rates of fluid ingestion, advisable solutions to ingest during different duration recovery periods and confirmation of mechanistic explanations for the observations outlined.

It's Leonardo Dicaprio's birthday! The actor, who broke his Oscar drought this with his 2015 film The Revenant, turned 42 today. We've seen him grow not just as a person but as an actor too. From that boy, barely in his twenties swept away by the thrill of young love in Titanic, to a grown man battling a bear The Revenant. On screen, we've seen multiple shades of this man. Over time, he established himself as a versatile actor and a damn good one at that.
Back in the early 90's, he had delivered hit performances in films like What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Romeo + Juliet. It wasn't until 1997 when starred in James Cameron's Titanic that he came into the limelight globally and charmed everyone with his moving portrayal of Jack Dawson. The chemistry he shared with co-star Kate Winslet was heavily appraised.
After Titanic, offers started pouring in for him and in 2002, he delivered yet another breathtaking performance in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can. Dicaprio quickly turned from an actor to a star.
Dicaprio's next movies were mostly all super hits like, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Blood Diamond and Body of Lies. After the release of Body of Lies in 2008, Leonardo Dicaprio reappeared with Kate Winslet in Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road the same year. Unlike, Titanic, this film featured the iconic duo in a dysfunctional marriage and isn't exactly a happy drama film.
Jumping to another genre yet again, he portrayed the role of Edward "Teddy" Daniels in 2010 psychological thriller Shutter Island. The film featured him in an absolutely new light which garnered positive critical reception. The same year, he left audiences bewildered with Christopher Nolan's Inception. Around this time, he went from superstar to a living legend!
Every single film he did after that has been a global superhit. Django Unchained, The Great Gatsby, The Wolf of Wall Street all left audiences amazed with Dicaprio's acting. With his 2015 film, The Revenant, finally earned him the much deserved Oscar. Although the film didn't highlight his best works but, he still did an amazing job.
Sadly though, he still doesn't have an actual star to his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Regardless, the opinion that Dicaprio is one of the greatest actors today is shared by many.

Well, I will be when I figure out what "mygroove" is, or was :P I'm recently separated, soon to be divorced, and slowly, with caution, I am becoming the happy person I once was. I lost me during some bad years of a rotten marriage, but now I'm getting back to the old me.

Fingerstyle guitarist, composer, recording artist and music educator Tim Farrell, has shared his stage with such legends as Les Paul, Jean-Luc Ponty, Alex de Grassi, Michael Manring, Jake Shimabukuro, Pat Robinson and George Benson. Playing Pacifica Performances this Saturday night, Farrell said his road to performing with the previously mentioned headliners, was never a straight shot. It has been more of a, "steady progression with lots of twists and turns along the way." The Pennsylvania born and raised guitarist, who still lives in Pennsylvania — Bucks County about an hour north of Philadelphia — said he met Les Paul as well as George Benson some years back at the various festivals they were each playing. He also worked with Les Paul's producer in the studio, and was subsequently asked to join Les Paul on his show in New York City. The guitarist met and gigged with some of the other aforementioned musicians, when they were "duo-partnered" for shows by the manager of a well-known concert venue near where Farrell lives, the Sellersville Theater. (Add Bill Frisell, Adrian Belew, Adrian Legg and the California Guitar Trio as well to that infinitely longer shared-stage list.) "I was about nine when I started with the guitar," Farrell said. "My first inspiration was to play the drums but my parents weren't interested in having a set of drums in the house. My brother wanted to play the guitar so we both ended up doing it. Needless to say I am glad I did because I love the instrument." Farrell said as a kid, he was like most kids in that he was not diligent with his guitar lessons. But he learned by playing with friends in rock bands and in high school, he played bass with the school jazz band. He headed off to college as a jazz guitar major but switched to classical guitar.
"Classical guitar is where I really developed my technique and love of the acoustic instrument," Farrell said. "I also studied jazz piano, composition and voice." Farrell's "method" of guitar is fingerstyle, and he has played in many different styles and settings throughout the years.
"I consider what I do to be contemporary music that draws from pop, rock, new age, folk, blues, jazz, country, world, etc., into something that is uniquely my own!" Farrell is bringing a couple of guitars to his Pacifica concert. A custom-built Paul Woolson guitar, out of Madison, WI, as well as a Santa Cruz Model D, which was "built right down the road in Santa Cruz," and which Farrell specially sets up to play in Open E tuning, a tuning he uses quite a bit.
For his concert, Farrell will perform some of his best known songs such as "Joyride To Tranquility" and "Rosewood Alley," which won Best Instrumental in the 7th Annual International Acoustic Music Awards. Also on his set list are his arrangements of well-known tunes such as "Walk Away Renee," "All You Need Is Love," and Duane Allman's "Little Martha." The latter has garnered a lot of attention since it appeared on "Guitar Fingerstyle, Vol. 1," a collection of guitar luminaries on the prestigious Narada record label.
Working in the studio throughout 2013 on a new solo album, and also working in the studio with Grammy winning producer Pat Robinson, laying down some tracks for a project in the works with solo bassist Michael Manring, Farrell loves his musician's life.
"I have been a professional musician since the dinosaurs roamed the earth, well at least in spirit," Farrell laughed. "But I have been a professional musician my whole adult life. I love the sound of the guitar in all of its forms. It is an amazingly versatile instrument that has so many uses and so many possibilities yet to discover. One of the things I love most about the guitar and music overall is that I am always learning new things and hearing new things." Prior to his concert, Tim will do a guitar workshop from 3 to 5 pm and it will be tailored to what best suits the needs of all participants.
"We will discuss good picking hand technique and tone production, as well as good fingering in both hands," Farrell said. "The goal is to help 'you' make your arrangements more musical and your performance more colorful, dynamic and enjoyable." "Thanks to everyone who supports the music that Pacifica Performances presents," Farrell said. "Come and join us and enjoy!"

SIR – Have commentators on the need to "do something" (report, March 13) read even the summary for policy-makers from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2007 Fourth Assessment Report?
It says unequivocally that even cessation of CO2 emission sufficient to stabilise the atmospheric content would not stop man-made climate change, as "both past and future anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions will continue to contribute to warming and sea level rise for more than a millennium".
We are asked to spend more than ever to alter something as far in the future as the Norman Conquest is behind us, and with no certainty that the "man-made" component of warming and ice melting is large compared with natural climate change.
Dr John Etherington
Llanhowell, Pembrokeshire
SIR – It may be that global warming will save several thousand elderly people in Britain who would otherwise die from our cold winter snaps (Bjorn Lomborg, Comment, March 13).
To achieve this at the cost of displacing several million people elsewhere through rising sea levels, and by threatening world food production, seems a somewhat drastic remedy.
As an alternative we should simply demand that housing is brought up to the standards of insulation expected elsewhere in northern Europe, together with the efficiency of their heating systems. It might even create jobs at a time when our economy really needs it.
Lord Teverson
Liberal Democrat Spokesman on Energy
London SW1
SIR – It is no longer an option for corporations to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. Those who fail to plan face spiralling costs, a fall in consumer confidence and loss of business.
We have created the industrial and the technological age and we have the capacity to develop solutions to dangerous climate change. Only through global action that takes the long-term view can we solve this challenge.
Paul Dickinson
Chief Executive
Carbon Disclosure Project
London EC1
SIR – If the polar bear is the half-ton canary in the climate-change mine, why are its numbers increasing? The Inuit maintain that US claims of decreasing numbers based on flyover counts are pessimistic and have more to do with government grants to scientists.
Canada has two thirds of the world's bears and the last count in the Labrador Southern Baffin Island area showed that from 1984 the bear population had increased from 800 to 2,100, and other Arctic regions are showing similar results.

Doctors' working hours
SIR – Your report (March 12) clearly outlines the serious problems that will affect patient care and junior doctors' training as a result of the proposed introduction this year of the European Working Time Directive, which will implement a 48-hour week.
The training implications for surgeons are so serious that the Department of Health is considering lengthening the time it takes to qualify as a consultant.
Members of the profession and patient groups have long seen these problems coming; we had a taster a few years ago when hours were reduced to 56 a week.
It is of great interest to me to know why the medical profession must adhere to the directive when other employees can sign a waiver.
To my knowledge, there are certainly many lawyers who would not be employed if they hadn't signed.
Rodney Croft
Buckhurst Hill, Essex
SIR – Picture a surgeon carrying out a major operation. He needs more time because of complications, but his 48 hours of allotted working time are about to end. Does he stop the operation or ring Brussels for permission to carry on?
I just hope he's operating on an EU official when the 48 hours expire.
John Porter
Poole, Dorset
SIR – The NHS already operates with a huge amount of free overtime provided by nurses, doctors and others. We are professionals, and we finish work when our patients are safe. Doctors do not get paid ad hoc overtime.
The hospital trusts will, however, report to the Government that our rotas are compliant with the new working-time directive. On paper, doctors will do 10 per cent fewer hours for 25 per cent less pay. In reality, they will still work the same hours but will be forced by employers to work to rule.
The profession will be damaged and patients will suffer, as they will not see their own doctors but a team of poorly trained locums.
Dr Jonathan Myers
London N4
(London) derry
SIR – On yesterday's Today programme a forthcoming broadcast of Any Questions was trailed as coming from, "Derry or Londonderry".
In the light of recent events is this not an appropriate time to find, by consensus, a new name for the city that would offend nobody and could be used by all those wishing to put violence behind them?
John Mayo
Tutshill, Gloucestershire
Poetry of soap
SIR – Was it not Sir John Betjeman, the then Poet Laureate, who referred to Coronation Street, the country's best-loved soap opera (Letters, March 13), as "a living piece of English poetry"?
Ted Shorter
Hildenborough, Kent
SIR – Contrary to the assertion (Letters March 12) that the phrase, "What's going on?" is in every episode of every soap, I'd like to put it on record that both the phrase and its regional variant, "Woss goin' on?" have been banned from EastEnders since 2007.
We're still hopeful of eradicating, "We need to talk", and "I'll see myself out", in time for our 25th anniversary next year.

Better with butter
SIR – Hooray for Rose Prince ("We all need a little buttering up", Comment, March 13). Finally someone is challenging the absurd war on "real" fats. Margarine is unfit for human consumption in my opinion.
Wake up, people! If you want good health, then listen to your ancestors, your instincts – and Nigella. Cook and eat real foods, including butter and ghee, dairy products (preferably fermented and unpasteurised), cold-pressed, unprocessed oils, whole grains, fruits and vegetables and fresh meats. It really is that simple.
Tricia Davies Nearn
London SW18
SIR – Rose Prince is so right. We have lived in southern France for five years now, and have noticed there is no culture of ready meals.
Eating with neighbours and friends has been a real enjoyment. From young families to pensioners, the effort and pleasure which go into producing a repas are an education.
The selection of fresh vegetables, all in season, is incredible – and no packaging. You select each item by hand.
The other major observation is that you don't see young, overweight women. No hipster jeans display rolls of fat, yet everyone eats a proper meal every lunchtime.
Anne Horn
Verfeuil, Gard, France
White deer reprieved
SIR – Pliny records that a white stag caught by Alexander the Great was released after being given a gold collar – surely the antecedent to Richard II's heraldic white hart bearing a gold crown around its neck (Letters, March 11).
We also know that, in the 15th century, Henry VII spared the life of a white deer while hunting in the New Forest.
That event was commemorated in the naming an inn in Ringwood the White Hart.
Bob Rickard
London E7
SIR – When James VI of Scotland heard that there was a white stag in Glen Orchy, he ordered that it should be caught and brought to his garden at Holyrood Palace.
The hunters failed to catch it for three years; the king lost patience, and as a punishment had their bow thumbs cut off.
Duncan Pearson
Blandford, Dorset
Lessons to be learned from MPs' swear-box phrases
SIR – The increasingly irritating phrase, "lessons must be learned", uttered after every foul-up, would fill not just a swear box (Letters, March 13), but has the potential to bail out the entire economy.
Cllr Jeremy Zeid (Con)
Kenton, Middlesex
SIR – Nothing in my view quite compares with the imminent obfuscation heralded by: "Let's be quite clear about this."
John Symonds
Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire
SIR – Peter Look Mandelson (Letters, March 12) is only carrying on from where Tony Now Look Blair left off.
Gwen Abbott
Bodffordd, Anglesey
SIR – I have noticed a fondness for the phrases, "It is important to" and "It is right to", as if their utterances have been sanctioned by a higher authority.
Ashley Stearn
Chelmsford, Essex
SIR – "What I am saying is"; this is surely an admission that the politician does not speak sufficiently clearly in the first place.
James Kirkbright
Shillingstone, Dorset
SIR – If we are really seeking to maximise revenue from the Westminster swear box can I please nominate: "I have abided by the rules."

The video provides viewers with guided instructions for producing solanine poison from potatoes and adding it to either a victim's food or beverage for poisoning through ingestion. Solanine is easy to produce and, as potatoes are a common food staple, extracted from an easily obtainable source. Its method of delivery is limited to ingestion, though potentially more effective in a targeted attack, the toxin could also be used in a mass attack on a water supply. The video's publication demonstrates, once again, the continuing appeal of using biological materials – and other toxic and poisonous materials – to conduct a CBRN attack among terrorists.

Glen Cove budget would raise taxes 2 percent
The proposed Glen Cove city budget will increase 0.2 percent next year, mainly because the cost of garbage disposal is doubling, the mayor said Monday.
The residential tax would rise 2 percent. The 2013 budget plan totals $46,746,289, an increase of $106,182 from this year's $46,640,107.
The 2013 tax levy is $39,831,498, up 1.4 percent, or $558,087 from this year's $39,273,411. That increase is within the state cap, which would have allowed an $800,000 increase with carry-over credits from the previous year, said city Comptroller Sal Lombardi.
The proposed residential tax rate is $.647525 per $100 of assessed valuation, up 2.03 percent from this year's $.634635. The owner of the average home assessed at $461,800 would pay $59.52 per year in additional city property taxes.
The commercial tax rate would be $1.83252 per $100 of assessed valuation, up 1.885 percent from this year's $1.798610.
Lombardi said one of the largest increases in budget costs is the garbage-disposal fee. The city's 20-year contract with its carting company, Winters Brothers, expired this year, and with it a rate that was about half of what other municipalities were paying, he said. The new contract rate nearly doubles what the city had been paying, to $1.5 million. That will increase the budget by $800,000.
Mayor Ralph Suozzi said the new contract calls for recycling all plastic and cardboard. The previous contract did not cover cardboard and some plastics. The city receives some revenue for the recyclables.
Because of the retirements of police officers who will not be immediately replaced, there will be a savings of the salaries and benefits for five or six officers, Suozzi said.
The hearing on the budget will be 7:30 tonight at City Hall. The City Council expects to vote on the budget Oct. 23.
"It's a tight budget," said Suozzi, a Democrat.
But Councilman Reginald Spinello, a Republican, said, "I think there's room to get this even lower." He said he planned to continue going over the budget line by line to find more cuts and additional revenue sources.
"The taxpayers deserve a break and I think we have to give it to them," Spinello said.
Suozzi added that if anything more could be cut, he felt the money should be appropriated to other lines in the budget rather than for reducing it. These areas are cash reserves, the account for repaying successful property tax assessment appeals and other accounts that had been severely trimmed to remain within the state's tax cap and probably needed more of a cushion to avoid having to borrow money later. Last year, the budget included $360,000 for assessment appeals and this year it was reduced to $250,000.
Suozzi said any reduction in the city's long-term $5 million deficit this year would come from sale of city property.

Generator is a maker space in the heart of Burlington, Vermont. It's three years in the making, the first spent with my energetic and talented co-founders at a cafe table in August First Bakery. Little more than squatters, we went to work and transformed an unused 6,000 square feet of a city building. At our opening, 900 of the curious and committed wandered through to see what we were up to. In year two now of operation, we have six thriving labs, 150 members, courses, lectures, and more. We couldn't do it without our partners to whom we owe a HUGE debt of gratitude. A Vermont PBS film crew came through the other night with former Reddit star Victoria Taylor asking questions. Despite a long day, she's looking pretty perky. Thanks, Victoria, for your interest! Stay tuned for her documentary on the maker culture in Vermont.
UPDATE: Generator is on the move! Look for us on Sears Lane, the warehouse space at the end of the block. We open our doors on January 1, 2017 and are happy to offer 8,000 square feet, more studio spaces, six well equipped labs, a huge dedicated classroom, a spray booth, plenty of parking, a new lounge and kitchen, common work space, project storage, a gallery, and so much more.
Open house: January 18, 2017. Please join our 170 members, 5 staffers, and 13 board members to tour the new premises. If you like what you see, we invite you to take a class, attend a tool training, drop in on a lecture, or become a member. It's a fine community lacking only you.

On a global scale, we're in a leadership crisis - at least according to 86% of respondents to the Survey on the Global Agenda.
Yet, there is hope for different kinds of successful leadership in the early 21st-century. A coaching style of leadership - used in ad-hoc situations - could be a surprisingly effective complement to leaders who tend to be autocratic on one extreme or inspiring & visionary on the other.
I have been interviewing leaders from a variety of industries to get their take on what thoughtful leadership looks and sounds like in the early 21st century.
Wit, versatility, warmth – these traits can put a team, audience, or enemy at ease and ready them for change. Those qualities describe in part Michael Bungay Stanier's distinct leadership style. Founder and Senior Partner of Box of Crayons, Michael is committed to helping leaders and organizations do less good work and more great work. Author of Get Unstuck & Get Going and Do More Great Work (Workman Publishing), Michael's new book is The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever.
The book reminds me that to be a thoughtful leader it might matter less what you know or say and more how you ask and listen.
In this interview, Michael will share with us the question he hopes more people will consider this year and the bit of wisdom for which he hopes to be remembered.
In this interview, we also talk about
Michael Bungay Stanier is the Senior Partner of Box of Crayons, a company best known for their coaching programs that help time-crunched managers coach in 10 minutes or less.
On the way to founding Box of Crayons ten years ago, Michael lived in Australia, England, the US and Canada (his current home), where he worked in the fields of innovation and change management.
He's written a number of books, the best known of which is Do More Great Work, created a series of short internet videos that have been seen by millions of people around the world, and organized the Great Work MBA, a virtual conference that had 10,000 registrants. He's proudest of the book End Malaria, a collection of essays about Great Work from thought leaders that has raised $400,000 for Malaria No More.

Football captain launches Cantona-style attack on fan (St. Austell vs Newquay)
One of Britain's lesser known derbies, the South-West battle between amateur sides St. Austell and Newquay, has today become front page news after St. Austell skipper Lee Whetter attacked a middle-aged Newquay fan after the midfielder was given his marching orders.
Lee Whetter, 27-years-old, had been shown the red card but instead of walking to the dressing room climbed into the grandstand to take umbrage with a fan who had allegedly been heckling the footballer all afternoon. According to local reports, Whetter barged his way through the crowd to come face to face with an opposing away fan, 49-year-old Mark Charles, who had been laughing at him throughout the match.
A snappy photographer then earned his money by capturing a series of shots in which Whetter firstly put Charles in a headlock before raining punches on his victim's head.
Whetter has since been told by his manager that he would never play for the club again, although there has been no police action as the fan he attacked did not make a formal complaint.
A local TV report into the incident with a series of photos showing what happened can be seen here.

We cannot speak highly enough of the service that Brando and his company gave. We were met at the airport and taken on a tour round Hofn before going to our hotel. The next day Brado took us to the glacier. He was so helpful,...More
Godbrandur and his team were very helpful, I was taken on a "guided tour" of the region, then hired a car to explore some more. It was a real treat to be given some "insider knowledge" of the area, and I would return to Hofn...More
I phoned Vatnajokull Travel because I was trying to book a Northern Lights excursion from Reykjavik, but was not succeeding through the website. I didn't realise it at the time, but this is booked through Eagle Air's booking system, which, in turn, only accepts bookings...More
We did the activity adventure flying in from Reykjavik. Brando handled every detail and took really good care of us. We had a great time and highly recommend vatnajokull travel and especially Brando.
I happened to be in great need for transportation from Hofn and contacted Gudbrandur (a.k.a Brando) at Vatnajokull Travel. He set me up with a car for a very reasonable price and the transaction was an absolute delight. I give Vatnajokull Travel (and Mr Brando)...More
Counting them as one, Vatnajokull and Jokulsarlon are now in my top two favorite places in Iceland--and I love ALL of Iceland! I had to change my round-trip Reykjavik-Hofn booking because of a conflict and Brando didn't hesitate or impose any penalties. I was so...More
When we arrived in Hofn, it quickly became apparent that we had booked an unsuitable tour, as the booking agent (Nordic visitor) had provided little information, and we felt misled by the suitability of the tour for families. Vatnajokull staff quickly responded to our concerns,...More
If you come to iceland, you have to visit Vatnajokull Region or Vatna Glacier (Fly to Hofn from Reykjavik). I had a very great time at Hofn especially at Vatnajokull area. I take so many picture, so I will always remember how exotic is Vatnajokull...More

Unexpected periodicity in the quasi-two-dimensional Mott insulator 1T-TaS2 revealed by angle-resolved photoemission
High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission data from the insulating phase of the charge-density-wave (CDW) material 1T-TaS2 reveal the backfolding of the electronic bands associated with the CDW superlattice, but also an additional, unexpected periodicity. This periodicity is consistent with the dispersion predicted at zero temperature if three-sublattice magnetic order is present, suggesting that it is the signature of fluctuations associated with magnetic ordering of a Mott insulator on a triangular lattice.
