CIA 'gave millions in cash' to Karzai over the years
Afghan President Hamid Karzai delivers his speech during the opening session of parliament in Kabul, on March 6, 2013. The CIA has delivered tens of millions of dollars in cash packed in suitcases and backpacks to the office of Karzai for more than a decade, according to a report in the New York Times.
"We called it 'ghost money'," Khalil Roman, Karzai's deputy chief of staff from 2002 to 2005, told the Times. "It came in secret, and it left in secret."
The money was aimed at obtaining influence, but instead fueled rampant corruption, current and former officials told the newspaper.
"The biggest source of corruption in Afghanistan," an unnamed US official told the newspaper, "was the United States."
The United States has long been known to funnel cash to supporters in Afghanistan, as it also did in Iraq. However the Times story is one of the first accounts that puts a figure on the amount of cash sent specifically to Karzai's office.
There appears to be no oversight over the secret CIA money, which is aimed at gaining influence by paying off warlords and politicians including some linked to the drug trade and even the Taliban, the Times reported.
Iran earlier made cash payments to one of Karzai's top aides, the Afghan president acknowledged in 2010. However the Iranians have stopped such payments and while the CIA payments continue, the Times reported.
Billions of dollars in aid have been pledged to help Afghanistan after NATO combat troops withdraw in 2014, but only on condition that corruption is brought under control.

During rough year, Federer starts well at US Open
NEW YORK (AP) — At this point in his career, Roger Federer recognizes the importance of a little extra work.
That's why the owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, and the man who spent more weeks ranked No. 1 than any other, was out there on a U.S. Open practice court late Tuesday afternoon, putting in some training time shortly after finishing off a 6-3, 6-2, 7-5 victory over 62nd-ranked Grega Zemlja of Slovenia in the first round.
At 32 and holding his lowest ranking, No. 7, in more than a decade, and coming off a stunningly early exit at the previous major tournament — one of a series of newsworthy losses lately — Federer is OK with making some concessions. He insists his passion for tennis is still there.
"I'm in a good spot right now," Federer said. "I want to enjoy it as long as it lasts."
He made it sound, though, as if it isn't as easy to enjoy things the way his results have been going.
Federer entered Tuesday 32-11, a .744 winning percentage that doesn't sound too bad, until you consider his career mark at the start of this season was .816, and he's had years where he went 81-4 (.953). and 92-5 (.948). He's only won one tournament in 2013, which would be great for some guys, but Federer topped 10 titles three times, and hasn't won fewer than three in any season since 2001.
"Clearly, when you win everything, it's fun. That doesn't necessarily mean you love the game more. You just like winning, being on the front page, lifting trophies, doing comfortable press conferences. It's nice. But that doesn't mean you really, actually love it, love it," said Federer, whose streak of 36 consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinals ended with a second-round defeat at Wimbledon against an opponent ranked 116th. "That maybe shines through maybe more in times when you don't play that well. For me, I knew it — winning or losing, practice court or match court — that I love it."
As fan favorite Federer took the first step toward a possible quarterfinal meeting with nemesis Rafael Nadal, an unknown teen from the United States made a Grand Slam breakthrough Tuesday. Victoria Duval, a 17-year-old qualifier who is ranked 296th, pulled off quite an upset, eliminating 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.
"A big moment, big stage. Not easy closing any match out, let alone a past U.S. Open champion," Duval said. "So happy I did it, though."
Duval jumped up and down with arms aloft after pounding a forehand winner to convert her fourth match point. And why not? Duval had never beaten a player ranked higher than 69th, never even faced one in the top 20, and never won a Grand Slam match.
"I know she didn't play her best today, and this is the best I've played in my career, so I'm really excited," Duval told the Louis Armstrong Stadium crowd. "I just tried to stay in the moment."
Stosur was unhappy with the way she played, including 10 double-faults and a total of 56 unforced errors, 21 more than Duval.
"I'm not going to be a sore loser and say she didn't do anything," the 11th-seeded Stosur said. "But, you know, I think I certainly helped her out there today, that's for sure."
Other seeded women on the way out were No. 17 Dominika Cibulkova, No. 20 Nadia Petrova and No. 31 Klara Zakopalova.
No. 2 Victoria Azarenka, the 2012 U.S. Open runner-up and a two-time Australian Open winner, needed 10 minutes and six break points to take the first game against 99th-ranked Dinah Pfizenmaier, then dominated the rest of the way en route to a 6-0, 6-0 victory.
Her match in Arthur Ashe Stadium came after top-seeded Novak Djokovic began his bid for a second U.S. Open title, and seventh major trophy overall, by beating 112th-ranked Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania 6-1, 6-2, 6-2.
"I played every point like it's a match point," said Djokovic, who recently added former top-10 player Wojtek Fibak as a coaching consultant.
Other straight-set winners included No. 5 Tomas Berdych and No. 10 Milos Raonic. On a day that American men went 5-2, led by No. 13 John Isner and No. 26 Sam Querrey, a handful of seeded players made quick departures. No. 14 Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, a semifinalist at Wimbledon last month, was the most surprising to go, although he was treated by a trainer for a painful back during a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 loss to 247th-ranked qualifier Maximo Gonzalez of Argentina.
"It was like someone puts a knife through your lower back," Janowicz said.
Janowicz is a volatile character, and that was on full display Tuesday. He pounded two balls in anger into the stands. He swatted one serve underhand. He chucked his racket. He argued with the chair umpire.
Other losers included No. 15 Nicolas Almagro, No. 25 Grigor Dimitrov and No. 28 Juan Monaco.
Federer, who required about the same amount of time for his victory, says he doesn't fret about being seeded seventh at Flushing Meadows, a year after being seeded No. 1. Not since 2002, when he was 13th, had Federer been so low at the U.S. Open.
That didn't really affect Tuesday's opponent in Arthur Ashe Stadium. All that mattered to Zemlja, who owns fewer Grand Slam match wins, eight, than Federer owns Grand Slam titles, was that he was facing what he considered an impossible task.
"If he's the seventh seed or fourth seed or first seed, for me, that's totally irrelevant," Zemlja said. "He achieved so much. He's the best player of all time. So I don't think people can actually say something (negative) about the way he's playing. You're losing matches, you're winning matches — that's just tennis, and I'm sure he's going to perform better than maybe he has done in the last few tournaments."
Difficult as things have been for Federer, he certainly remains capable of summoning his best strokes. A bad lower back has bothered him this season, and he's experimented with a larger racket head, but with his old equipment in hand Tuesday, a healthy-looking Federer collected 35 winners and only 16 unforced errors.
Wearing neon-pink-and-gray shoes with a "5" etched inside a silhouette of the U.S. Open trophy on the right heel — the number of titles he's won in New York from 2004-08 — Federer won 20 of the 21 points he played at the net and 62 of the 80 points he served. To cap the first set, Federer spun a 95 mph ace into a corner. To cap the second, he hit a 118 mph service winner that forced Zemlja into a backhand return so wild that it sailed directly into a guest box in the stands, where Federer's agent happened to catch the ball on the fly. And to cap the third, Federer pressed forward for a swinging forehand volley winner.
"I decided … to play aggressive," Federer summed up. "I was happy the way I played, you know, overall. I mean, it's a first round, after all."

This condo location exceeded our expectations. Having the location on the garden side of the complex and on the first floor was very convenient, especially since parking was within 500 yards from condo. Complex also has a parking structure underneath, and they provide shopping carts to easily bring your groceries to your condo (very convenient). Owners were exceptional people to work with and very attentive to the needs of their renters. After snorkeling at black rock and having lunch at the Hula Grill in the afternoon, we decided to find more snorkeling adventures in a different area the next day. However, we both agreed that everything we needed was right there in front of our condo. there was no need for us to look elsewhere! We are already looking forward to booking the same condo for next year! Thank you Donna and Ron for a wonderful Maui experience!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, people with disabilities, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

We really enjoyed our stay of four nights at the Whaler. Place was comfortable, clean and close to the beach. There was a glitch with the wifi, Don was quick to respond though the issue was not resolved while we were there I did not press the issue as we were able to get by without. He did get pillowcases delivered asap (there were none when we arrived) Having the airbed was great and the kitchen was amazingly well stocked with dishes and many conveniences (condiments, spices, papertowels, etc) not everything but do check it out before you shop for groceries! We really liked the location for snorkling at Black Rock. PS -advisory to only use liquid (hE) laundry detergent! Having a washer and dryer were lifesavers. :-) Thank you for a great stay.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, people with disabilities, girls getaway.

We stayed 7 nights and loved our Visit, our 3rd time back to Maui in 6 years, so skipped the tourist activities this time and enjoyed the facilities and time to relax and unwind. Apartment very convenient to everything we needed and loved being on the ground floor. Met some great folk in the pool and around the BBQ at night. Apartment had everything we needed, only improvement would be the bathrooms need upgrading and the carpet! Would consider again for future visits. Thanks Ron and Donna!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.

And probably better than good...The location was excellent. The bed was super comfy, as was the living and dining area. Had a bit of a problem with wi-fi but after rebooting the router that was okay. Owner is in process of remodeling. We knew that going in, but once bathrooms are updated I think there will be none better. Looking forward to returning.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, people with disabilities, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

The Whaler is the perfect location in Kaanapali! You could not ask for better condo location. It's on the ground floor, 3 sliders, beautiful view from the patio, a grassy area, NO foot traffic, very private, close to a parking lot. It is steps from the beach & pool. Gym downstairs is great. Next door to Whalers Village. Walk to Black Rock. We had a car, but you could go without. Shuttle takes you to Coconut Mall/Safeway. The owners were so easy to work with. After we got there, AC in bedroom was not working well. He had maintenance there within an hour and fixed. Kitchen is perfect! We ate many meals at the condo. We have teenagers and they had a blast! Close to everything. We will DEFINITELY be back to this condo...we LOVED it!!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car.

We enjoyed our stay especially the location of this property. It is conveniently located within walking distance of the beach and Whalers Village. The only downfall was the conditions of the bathrooms. They are in desperate need of being updated. However it fit our need and I know the owners intend to update soon.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car.

After visiting Maui a couple of times, I knew where I wanted to stay from then on. THE WHALERS! Its the best location in West Maui in my opinion and my husband agreed. So after doing tons of research and searching vacation rental websites I fell upon this one and knew I had to reach out... and so glad I did!! Ron and Donna were amazing to work with and made the process so comfortable. About the unit....Having the extra bathroom in the unit was very handy... and the kitchen had everything you could need. Since we were there two weeks we definitely were gonna cook a couple nights so I really appreciated everything that was there... down to the foil :) I felt like I was home the minute I walked in the door. The beach chairs, boogy boards, etc were great too. We used it all!! The bed is super comfy and I didn't have ANY problems sleeping while there (which my husband I usually do) Waking up to the birds chirping outside was the most relaxing way to wake up every day and miss that part already! The whole experience was fantastic and can't wait for next years vacation to Maui! You can't go wrong with this unit and the location. If you are looking for privacy with convenience then this condo is it. Thank you Ron and Donna for making our anniversary trip a memorable one :)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

I get he was fucked up, but did they have to frickin' beat his face like that?
Wow, yeah. Did they really have to awkwardly punch him and then just stand around there unsure of what to do next?
Those cars probably belonged to the guys punching him in the face. I think they were justified. It doesn't even look like he was seriously injured.

Driven by fear, hundreds of thousands of Hutu refugees from Rwanda overwhelmed a tiny border crossing near here today and flooded into Zaire.
Starting late this afternoon, refugees crossed the border at the rate of 10,000 an hour along a small road just north of Goma, a Red Cross official estimated. They were fleeing the Rwandan Patriotic Front, the mostly Tutsi group that controls two-thirds of the country and is advancing against the remaining Government troops.
The crossing, a dirt road supervised by one guard, was overrun after Zairian officials closed the main crossing at Goma. Behind those first Rwandan refugees, one aid worker said, there was "a wall of people" on the 25-mile road from Ruhengeri to Gisenyi, across the border from Goma. Gisenyi is the stronghold of what is left of the Rwandan Government, which is dominated by the Hutu majority.
Rebels threaten to occupy Gisenyi if the Hutu leaders who encouraged the massacre of an estimated 200,000 to 500,000 people this spring -- mostly Tutsi civilians and Hutu opposition leaders -- are not captured.

Looking for recommendations for artist galleries, collectives, shops or festivals to visit in Bangkok and Chiang Mai during our visit in July. Particularly contemporary jewelry, paintings, and ceramics.
Contemporary Artists?

the thai craft organization holds monthly sales which include some jewelry.... check their website: www.thaicraft.org

At Chatuchak Weekend Market, there are some offering near the MRT station and up in JJ Plaza, the area just north of the main flea market.

For Chiangmai try around Nimmanhaemin road for the best galleries for both paintings and ceramics. For Bangkok the galleries are all spread around the city but the top end ones can be find in places like the Peninsula Plaza or perhaps in malls like the Paragon.

Most of the stuff around Chatuchak is mass produced decorative art. Probably not what you're looking for. CNN Go has a nice run-down of the current contemporary art shows now on around town:
The Manit Sriwanichpoom show would definitely be a "don't miss" exhibition. The shows at the gallery of the Jim Thompson house are always interesting as well. -

so much art and jewelry in bkk seems very traditional, but surely there are pockets of modern designs and emerging artists around town....???

Most of the stuff, around most of Chatuchak is, indeed, mass produced decorative art. There are, however, some individual vendors, selling unique items.
Some of the vendors even have other outlets, at places such as Oriental Plaza. Of course, at Oriental Plaza, one will pay a premium.
A friend found a couple wonderful pieces at Chatuchak during his last visit. His business is ancient art. Unless you know the trade, I would stick to other items which simply please you, not necessarily "collectable" pieces. -

Yep, I'm not interested in arts and crafts, especially mass produced. There is at least one fine arts school in Chiang Mai, so there must be an arts community. I did find:
Thank you for the CNN Go link. Lots of great stuff going on in Bangkok.

I've wandered into a number of galleries in Bangkok with nice contemporary art. I know that River City has just been remodeled, but there used to be several galleries with good contemporary art there. I don't know if they are still there.

We purchased a painting, a Floating Market scene, at a gallery in OP Place behind the Oriental Hotel. While our painting was somewhat Impressionist in style, the gallery (whose name I cannot remember but I think is the only one there) had a wide selection.

Try some of the cafe bars on Pra Arthit Road. I've not been there in a year or so but it was (and probably still is)a popular haunt for young Thai artists.

bmi regional adds Oslo to Norwegian network
- bmi regional introduced a six times weekly service between Aberdeen (ABZ) and Oslo (OSL) as part of its winter season schedule. The 838-kilometre route uses the airline's fleet of four 37-seat ERJ 135s. Having launched operations between Aberdeen and Kristiansund in Norway at the end of August, the airline has no competition on direct flights between Aberdeen and the Norwegian capital. Cathal O'Connell, CEO of bmi regional said: "We are delighted to be launching a direct scheduled service between the cities of Aberdeen and Oslo. Both locations are strategic hubs for oil and gas activity which will offer significant time and efficiency savings for businesses in the north-east of Scotland and Norway."

I read something, somewhere, around here about their intentions to (paraphrased) 'slap a gag order' on Spock against spilling the beans for future events. It may have been something intended for the comics or novels, not sure.
Personally I want the beans spilled, I want those prime timeline events naturalized so the writers cannot use them as cheats thus forcing originality in the new timeline.

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ ends flat, but Carney reassures markets
- Tweet
- Share this
* C$ flat at C$0.9886 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0115
* Bond prices lower after three-session surge
* Carney, Flaherty soothe on world economy, ready to act
* Poll: Next move in BoC monetary policy path is up (Adds details)
By Ka Yan Ng
TORONTO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Canada's dollar ended nearly unchanged against the U.S. currency on Friday, reassured by top Canadian policymakers that they are ready to act if the world economy deteriorates dramatically.
It capped a relatively restrained week for the resource-linked currency, which saw some of its gains erased by weakness on equity markets.
"Canada-U.S. has been very much sort of driven by risk-on, risk-off; it's one of the most correlated currency pairs with respect to global equity news," said Mark Chandler, head of Canada fixed income and currency strategy at RBC Capital Markets.
The Canadian dollar CAD=D4 finished at C$0.9886 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0115, virtually unchanged from Thursday's session close at C$0.9884 to the U.S. dollar, or $1.0117. It was up 0.2 percent on the week.
In testimony before a parliamentary committee on Friday, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty both highlighted the risks posed by Europe's stubborn debt crisis and the slow U.S. recovery from recession.
But neither forecast a recession in either area, although Carney admitted that Canada's economy might contract in the second quarter. [ID:nN1E77I0KX] [ID:nN1E77I0L1][ID:nN1E77I0QJ]
"There wasn't anything too bombastic out of Governor Carney to convince the dollar to move in any sustained manner as a result of his testimony," said David Tulk, chief Canada macro strategist at TD Securities.
The appearance by Carney and Flaherty in Ottawa marked the key event of the session for domestic markets, as inflation data for July, released earlier by Statistics Canada, suggested no inflation pressures, leaving the Bank of Canada some breathing room to stand pat on rates for now. [ID:nN1E77I02W] [ID:nSCLJJE70X]
A rate hike remains the most likely eventual course of action from the Bank of Canada and two primary dealers say it could come this December, according to a Reuters survey. [CA/POLL]
All ten of Canada's 12 primary dealers available to answer Reuters questions expect the bank to hold its overnight rate at 1 percent until at least December. Two of the dealers were not immediately available to update their forecasts.
Government bond prices moved lower, giving back a fraction of their rally of the past three sessions. The two-year bond CA2YT=RR dipped 4 Canadian cent to yield 0.879 percent, while the 10-year bond CA10YT=RR fell 3 Canadian cents to yield 2.304 percent. Canadian bond mostly underperformed their U.S. counterparts. (Additional reporting by Claire Sibonney; editing by Rob Wilson)

Often in this space I've talked about how to cover windows with draperies, shutters, blinds or other privacy/sun-blocking devices. But never have I talked about electric privacy glass. Well, I did mention it many years ago when the product was pretty new, but a deeper explanation is now required since this electric glass is gaining popularity.
What is it, anyway? Well, first of all, it is glass, just like the glass windows in your house. You can see out and those who are outside can see in. What makes it different is that with the flip of a switch, the glass changes from clear to translucent, offering privacy while still allowing the light in.
How does it work? The secret is in the layers.
First, there is an outer layer of glass or polycarbonate, then an adhesive interlayer followed by liquid-crystal film. Then there is another adhesive interlayer and, finally, another outer layer of glass or polycarbonate.
Sounds complicated, so let's delve into this a little more. It is the liquid-crystal film that affords the transition between clear and translucent. This same technology has been used in digital watches and computer screens for years. Liquid crystals are sandwiched between two layers of transparent conductive film to make the privacy film.
That film is laminated between the two pieces of glass by the glass manufacturer. When electricity is applied to the film at the flick of a switch, the liquid crystals line up and the window is clear. When the power is turned off, the liquid crystals return to their normal positions and turn the glass from clear to frosted.
The dispersed liquid crystals were invented at Kent State University back in 1983. But it wasn't until a joint venture was made between 3M Company and Viracon that the liquid-crystal film was actually put together between two panes of glass to become a usable form now called privacy glass. It is also known as smart glass.
So where would you use this privacy/smart glass? Just about anywhere. Consider these possibilities: The shower, the front door, any or all windows in your house, skylights (to calm the noon sun), your office's conference room. You name it — privacy glass can fit the bill.
There are many websites that will provide you with visuals on privacy glass, and some sites even allow for price quotes without any obligation, if you are interested in pursuing this. Simply type in "privacy glass" or "smart glass" in a search engine and get ready to be inundated with information.

I'm really sad to hear about Chris Neal. Of all the regulars who used to post at The 9513, his responses to my ridiculous posts were among my favorites. Chris will be missed.
Great, the Piston Annies start a Girl Power online community named "The Henhouse"! I guess if men drop in they should expect a good pecking! (lol)
I don't know about Chely Wright, but "Wish Me Away" applies more to Kenny Cheesehead in my mind than Chely…
Music City Roots is featuring another "Artists You've Likely Never Heard Of!" nights tonight. The line up includes The Cumberland Collective, David Mead (any relation to Chuck?), Leigh Nash, Jason White, and Swan Dive. Ok so it turns out Leigh Nash was with Sixpence None The Richer. She looks like she could be Taylor Swift's big sister.

Sad news about Chris.
I Jewly Hight. Back when I was doing a lot of writing about country music, I felt that it was imperative to take each artist I interviewed at face value as an artist – that is to say, to take as a baseline operating assumption that regardless of whether I liked an artist's music, it was something that the artist thought about, worked on and was invested in as a creative person. And therefore that each artist had something interesting – and, in one way or another, valuable – to say about her music. It seems like there aren't all that many music journalists who look at their work that way these days – sometimes you can tell by who they avoid writing about, other times you can tell by the unmistakable tone of contempt or snarkiness that oozes out of the writing – but Jewly obviously does, and as a result, she's doing some of the best writing about music to be read these days.
That should be "I (heart) Jewly Hight" – forgot about the reserved use of brackets…
"It seems like there aren't all that many music journalists who look at their work that way these days – sometimes you can tell by who they avoid writing about,…"
Man, I would really have to "stalk" a journalist for years to be able to even attempt to figure out who s/he AVOIDS writing about. It hardly seems worth the trouble.
I'm completely heartbroken to read this news. Chris was one of the most genuine and selfless people I've ever met. He was committed to identifying and mentoring young writers, and was very proactive about providing talented people with opportunities they would have never otherwise enjoyed. As a result, I believe he's personally responsible for paving the way for many of the young music journalists and critics in print today.
He went out of his way to help me, and I witnessed him do the same for many others. He was a real professional and someone who I admired greatly as a writer and as a person.
Nashville and country music will sorely miss his presence, kindness and vision.
Better late than never, I suppose.

They put most Expedia customers in room 617 or on the 6th floor. The pool doesn't go past 3.9 ft. They did not have anymore washcloths They do not have microwaves or mini fridges. This hotel is not worth staying.

Prosecutor: Ex-cop moved bystanders from parking lot before shooting at US courthouse in W.Va.
Reported by: Associated Press
Thursday, October 10, 2013 4:40 PM EDT
WHEELING, W.Va.
A prosecutor says a former police officer waved people out of harm's way before peppering a federal courthouse in West Virginia with gunfire.
U.S. Attorney Bill Ihlenfeld says Thomas J. Piccard fired from a parking lot across from the Wheeling Federal Building Wednesday.
Authorities have said the 55-year-old resident of Bridgeport, Ohio, got off up to two dozen shots in the small West Virginia panhandle city before law enforcement officers shot him to death.
Residents in the neighborhood around Piccard's trailer home in Bridgeport, a few miles west of Wheeling, say Piccard disclosed in the past few days that he had stomach cancer. Mahlon Shields says a neighbor told him Piccard wanted to go to Florida to die.

"Martha Marcy May Marlene": All the a-star-is-born talk about it is true. Elizabeth Olsen, the Olsen sister you've never heard of, makes her feature film debut, leaping over her older twin siblings to become Hollywood's latest darling.
In "Martha Marcy May Marlene," Olsen plays the title role -- a beautiful, damned young woman, whose radiant, upturned face becomes a kind of Broken Madonna and who falls into the clutches of a rural cult. The film, written and directed by talented newcomer Sean Durkin, a 29-year-old member of a NYU-graduates film collective, is an astute psychological thriller.
Martha is a tall, open, not-quite innocent in opening scenes, who fecklessly falls in with a rural extended "family" led by the charismatic, slightly built bearded creep Patrick (a scary John Hawkes).
To remain a member, the men and women have to abide by Patrick's rules of living, some of them simple enough. Others are more diabolical and involve the systematic sexual abuse of new female members abetted by the "initiated" and sexually abused women in the cult.
This being rural America, specifically upstate New York, guns play a role. Occasionally, Patrick and his followers break into lavish vacation homes built by rich, urban types, who almost laughably have no clue what horrors lurk behind their high-priced views.
At times, "Martha Marcy May Marlene" plays like an American version of a film by Bavarian prince of darkness Michael Haneke ("Cache," "Funny Games," "The White Ribbon"). In one sequence, Martha is an accomplice in a home invasion that gets horribly out of control. These scenes are flashbacks from the "present" in which Martha has escaped and been reunited with her sister Lucy (a terrific Sarah Paulson) and her high-ratcheted husband Ted (Hugh Dancy). Lucy and Ted are New Yorkers with a weekend home in Connecticut who are trying to conceive.
In these scenes, Martha appears to be in wild-child mode, stripping down to skinny-dip in full view of her brother-in-law and neighbors. In an even more disturbing moment, spaced-out Martha crawls into bed with Lucy and Ted, while they are having sex. The truth about Martha is that she has been thoroughly "broken" by Patrick and the cult, and the psycho cult leader is not likely to allow Martha simply to walk away. Besides, she was also a witness to incriminating acts.
Durkin has taken a page out of American history, where the names Charles Manson, Jim Jones and David Koresh are written in blood and fire, and created a film about youth and individual will. "Martha Marcy May Marlene" resonates with anyone who feels like damaged goods. It's about the things you can't undo or escape, and it's a surprisingly haunting and insightful first feature.
("Martha Marcy May Marlene" contains nudity, sexually suggestive scenes, profanity and violence.)

Dropped in here without booking to find out the Tannin Level does Sunday Roast 12-8pm! That's one to bear in mind then. The menu is broad enough with 5-6 choices for each course including fish, meat, vegetarian. The value is great, £14 for 2 courses, and there's no skimping here on the portion sizes. Good quality food, borderline over seasoned... More
I must have walked past this place for years so I thought it's about time I ventured in & tried the food. Looks quite small from the outside but once you're in it's pretty cool, you wouldn't know that you were below street level. My wife & I booked in for an early bird dinner & weren't disappointed. Good welcome,... More
I have dined here on numerous occasions and I can honestly say I haven't got a bad word to say.

There are much better places to eat than this restaurant in Harrogate. They really need to up their game.The soup was just awful. Then we were served a small piece of roast beef with plain vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. It was all desperately average. The service was so slow and amateurish. We didn't bother with dessert.
We waited about twenty minutes to be seated at our pre booked table. Food was very good with two imaginative veggie choices for starter and main course ....almost unheard of outside an Indian restaurant. Good side dishes too. The service wasn't amazing we didn't have the same waitress throughout and had to chase drinks and even water but we enjoyed... More
Years ago I used to visit the Tannin Level with trepidation as the ambience was good, the wine excellent but the menu never appealed. I was lucky if I could find anything on the menu that I wanted to eat. Last Monday evening I visited again for the first time in recent years and was delighted to find a real... More
We chose to go to this restaurant as we were originally going to their sister restaurant Deanos and thought this would be just as good! We were shown to a table near the door and out of the way of other parties in the other part of the restaurant and given the wine list and menu - there was a... More
We have heard mixed reviews about this restaurant so wasn't sure what to expect, but what a lovely surprise. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, food came quickly and was spot on. Great atmosphere too, really can't fault the experience, we will be back!!
I went with a group of friends for someone's birthday this was all the things a good restaurant should be - great food, good selection on the menu, flexible with our orders, prompt, efficient service and to top it all a great value menu. I'll be back.

As most of the Internet goes wild this afternoon over the release of the iPad mini — yet another mobile platform — a few people in the government tech world are taking a step back, noting how little of the jump from Web to mobile is really complete.
The folks over at the General Services Administration's Mobile Gov blog have put together a list of six mistakes mobile designers often fall into. The list starts with "thinking of mobile as a mini computer." In other words, cramming your mobile application or mobile website with all of the content and functionality of a traditional website is a sure way to frustrate a guy who's rushing to work or waiting in a restroom line and just wants to grab a quick bite of information.
Five of the six mistakes basically boil down to not understanding who the mobile audience is, what they want and how much they can take in at once.
Government designers aren't the only ones struggling to adapt to mobile. The New York Times on Tuesday partially credited the difficult transition to mobile for disappointing earnings reports by tech giants such as Google, Microsoft and Intel.
The nub of the problem is that the constraints on building content for a mobile device are much greater — a 2-inch screen, a distracted viewer — but the public's expectation of quality content is just as high. Government designers especially are also burdened by tight budgets.
"Most consumers don't understand the fundamental differences between a traditional website and a mobile-optimized site," the consultancy ForeSee noted in a report on customer satisfaction with federal websites also released Tuesday, adding, "the truth is, they don't care either. They expect a seamless experience between the two channels."
The rush to mobile design has also been headlong, as the Times piece notes. Remember, the iPhone is only five years old. Web designers have had more than a decade to figure out their craft, on the other hand, and the process is still developing.
These are some of the reasons Nextgov has been seeking private sector insight on how government agencies can improve their applications in our Building Better Apps project. Our experts have reviewed 15 apps so far and we'll be publishing new reviews each month. Check out the reviews here and here.
