Julia Durst responds to Response: Artists of the Northern Printmakers Alliance & Poets of the Lake Superior Writers At Northern Prints Gallery, Duluth, through November 11. Get the book from Calyx Press here.

Anna Marie Pavlik, "Swtichback". Read Cal Benson's poem "(Carl Rove) Grass Secrets) that accompanies this work.
- Summer Evening (MS Word)
- (Carl Rove) Grass Secrets (MS Word)
Words or pictures its hard to know which to look at first. Poems are paired with prints in Response, on exhibit at Northern Prints Gallery (NPG) through November 11. Its a joint project of the Lake Superior Writers and the Northern Printmakers Alliance, their second. Their first outing together was Shared Vision at NPG in 2004. Its success prompted artist and gallery owner Cecelia Lieder to make it a biannual event.
The premise is this: printmakers make prints (under any topic, using any technique) and digital images of those prints are passed to the poets, who write poems to complement the prints. Each poet can submit up to three poems. The printmakers read the poems and choose the one they feel best suits their print. All of this is conducted anonymously.
The result is a show vibrantly diverse in its prints (etchings, intaglio, woodcuts, monoprints) and poetry (narrative, metaphoric, confessional, descriptive). The poems easily separate into two categoriesthose that describe and those that invent. The descriptors drip with flowery adjectives and labor to translate visual into verbal, making for a redundant presentation at times. The inventors, meanwhile, construct elaborate histories and nuanced sensory details. They provide information beyond what the prints offer and enrich the images.
Joel Molines print By Moonlight depicts an aged house tucked behind barren trees, the sky casting a Halloweenish pall. Deborah Coopers poem By Moonlight transforms the scene. She puts a breeze through the branches and bodies in the ground. She has lived alone so long / in the old farmhouse, / grown up here / and let her family go, / one by one, into the city / or into the earth When Cooper mentions the souls rustling / in the overgrown orchard, I dont even need the print anymore. The poem has taken over.
Thats the risk. Some of poems clobber their counterparts (Molines wasnt clobbered, but overshadowed a little); some prints silence their poems. Occasionally the two work in unity to keenly shift interpretation.
One triumphant example of that is Robb Quislings print and Cecelia Lieders poem, both titled Summer Evening. Quislings image of a man holding a bent garden hose that a woman is drinking from is at first glance nostalgic and playful. Lieder, who also has prints in the show, provides a brief, nine-line poem that proves the perfect counterpart. The poem is strongly sexual, but the words are carefully strung together and thinly sheathed in innuendo. Poem and print are independently strong; together, even better.
A few other pairs achieve this. Anna Marie Pavliks beautiful, moody, earthy print Switchback inspired a hilarious and smart political poem by Cal Benson. His poem Carl Rove Grass Secrets begs to be read aloud, both for its attention to sound and the reactions it must elicit. Another successful duo is Tom Rauschenfels and Tim Brennan. Rauschenfels Embraceable You depicts a couple in each others armsa strong and dynamic yet cold and anonymous vision. Brennan breathes context into it with his rainy night in 1978. He puts Chicagos greatest hits on the 8-track and moves the bodies in dance, describing the sensation and initial trepidation of a man making his move.
Nothing in the show (neither print nor poem) is stand-out bad but a few things are sadly forgettable. Larry Baskys luscious, abstracted landscape prints stomp on the little poems beside themnot because the poems arent good, but just because the prints are so much better. And how could they not be? Theyre a retreat into the trees or water and indulgently generous with ink on surface.
Response showcases the depth and varied talent of two vital arts groups in Duluth. It is a powerful reminder of the talented poets whose verse is typically tucked away neatly in chapbooks and anthologies. I was reminded why Coopers poems always rattle me in the best way and moved by the storytelling ability of Ann Floreen Niedringhaus. I have a sneaking suspicion these writers dont have the audience they deserve, much like NPG itself. I consistently leave there inspired, impressed and a smidge frustrated. So much damn talent! And how many eyes drink it in?
For those who cant see the show (or even those who can), I strongly recommend the book version. Lieders Calyx Press has published a wonderful collection that features all of the prints (in very good reproduction) and poems of Response. Read it and re-read it until 2008, when new pairs of poems and prints will premiere.

Hey guys, thanks so much had a great being on your show!
Thank you Thomas, I think it will be motivational to a lot of people.
Great message at the end there!
Wow guys. Inspirational show. Keep it up.
Hey Guys, Great show. I wonder why you didn't ask Mr. Hawk about uploading to a stock site? It sounds like he's already doing the tagging and keywords. Aren't the buyers checking stock sites before attempting a search on flickr? Inspirational show about work habits; i'm just wondering if it's less efficient than uploading to a stock site?
Looking forward to hearing next week!
Phil -
GREAT SHOW. I never thought about all the detail shots from a wedding that could be sold on stock sites. I normally have at least 100 shoots per wedding that could be sold as stock. i need to look into this.
My wife and I have a project where we do a minimum of 24 pictures a week of our family. We have been doing this since the birth of our son as a way to share with the rest of the family. This podcast was really helpful because we can adopt aspects of his workflow into our own. Keep up the good work guys.
Kerry and David in this podcast David spoke about a piece of software that controls what photo applications start up when you plug your iphone/camera/etc into your mac. I couldn't find it online and was hoping you could point me in the right direction.
Matt -
Hey Matt,
Good Morning! Here's the free software that I was mentioning in the podcast: http://www.flexibits.com/.
I haven't given it a whirl just yet, but it looks pretty cool – cheers!
I'll play with it for a couple of days and let you know what I think.
Matt -
Hey Matt,
Right on – that would be dope.
Hey Matt,
Thanks for the 411 on the software.
I'll have to give it a whirl as well & from what you wrote – it looks pretty simple to use.
Have a super weekend & thanks for the update – cheers!
Thomas mentioned a piece of software that search the net for uses of your images by unauthorized parties. Do you have more information on this software/service?
Where can I find more info on the reverse image search software that was mentioned?
Thanks you guys. Love your show up in here in Florida.

The grass is always greener on the other side, and that's especially true when you live in a New York apartment and thus have no grass. But reading the news the past couple of days has given us a new appreciation of our chosen urban lifestyle, with doormen to screen guests and no backyard.
We refer, of course, to President Obama's latest travels. He's been surfing lawns and hectoring voters across America, presumably hoping to persuade citizens that he'll leave them alone if they vote for Democrats in November. Voters, having done just that in 2006 and '08, are understandably skeptical.
The Associated Press reports from Des Moines, Iowa, that he essentially accused one voter of lying:
A man who described himself as a small-business owner manufacturing promotional items such as T-shirts and lawn signs criticized Obama's plans for allowing tax cuts on income over $250,000 a year to expire.
"As the government gets more and more involved in business and more and more involved in taxes, what you're finding is you're strangling those job creation vehicles," he said.
The president disputed that, saying he's already signed eight pieces of legislation providing small business tax cuts.
Showing some frustration, Obama said: "Your taxes haven't gone up in this administration. Your taxes have gone down in this administration. There's a notion that, well, he's a Democrat so your taxes must have gone up. That's just not true."
In truth, everyone's taxes are about to go up. At about the same time as Obama spoke, the Hill reports that Nancy Pelosi's House voted 210-209 to adjourn until after the election, which means that Congress will not repeal the tax increases scheduled to take effect as we ring in 2011. The Washington Post reports the president got "an earful" from frustrated voters on other matters as well:
Standing in the back yard of a resident, Obama stood patiently as one woman described, at length, her fears that the U.S. health-care system will soon resemble that of Great Britain. Next, a man spent several minutes describing the way his small business works--and his unhappiness with the prospects of a tax hike.
When the man veered off into his thoughts on Chinese currency, Obama interrupted.
"Okay, we're going way afield now," Obama said, jumping in to address part of the man's earlier observations.
What's most telling about these encounters is the absence of fear on the part of the citizens challenging Obama. In October 2008, in his own Ohio neighborhood, "Joe the Plumber" confronted the future president and objected to his tax-hike plans. Obama revealingly replied that he was eager to "spread the wealth around," and the media pounced--on Joe. He's not really a plumber! Joe is his middle name! Who knows how history might have been changed if the media had been as aggressive in investigating Obama's background?
But now, it seems, the lesson of Joe the Plumber has been lost. Citizens feel free to criticize Obama with impunity. The reporters who wrote these stories don't even mention the names of the critics, much less conduct opposition research against them on Obama's behalf. The best Obama gets is this snide reference to Republicans in the AP story, by Charles Babington:
Despite all his mingling with middle class voters, however, Obama's chief focus was on people who never showed up: congressional Republicans and their corporate allies who, the president said, are trying to thwart his administration's progress and turn the clock back to the George W. Bush era.
And actually, you could just as easily construe that as a snide reference to Obama. After all, surely it's not as if "congressional Republicans and their corporate allies" were invited to Obama's backyard shindigs, and by now everybody realizes that "the George W. Bush era," for all its shortcomings, was a lot less bad than the Obama era.
Meanwhile, National Journal reports on a new poll that finds, as the headline puts it, "Young People and Minorities Are All the President Has Left":
The president is doing an excellent or good job, according to 45 percent of the youngest voters, 47 percent of whom rate him fair or poor. From there, his numbers slide, bottoming out among voters between 50 and 64 at 34 percent to 63 percent for the positive/negative split. A mere 39 percent of voters over 65 think the president is doing at least a good job, while 53 percent rate him fair or poor. . . .
Along ethnic lines, Obama did best among black non-Hispanic respondents, 76 percent of whom rated his job performance positively, 21 percent negatively. Total non-white voters gave him a 58/37 approval, while his worst grades came among white non-Hispanics, 66 percent of whom said the job he was doing was only fair or poor, just 30 percent of them scoring him positively.
Among whites categorized by education level, the president fared best with white women with college degrees; 39 percent of them gave him a positive job rating, while 57 percent went negative. Those numbers dropped to 31 percent positive versus 65 percent negative among white women with some college or less. Thirty-one percent of white men who had completed a college degree approved, 67 percent disapproved. Among white men without a college degree, Obama registered a dismal 22 percent approval rating, while 71 percent were critical.
Note that Obama's ratings among young voters are still net negative, just much less so (minus 2 points) than among older ones (minus 36 to minus 42). Even his rating among blacks, while quite high (plus 55) is surprisingly low. Most polls have shown his black support in the 90% range, no doubt in part because of pride in the first black president. This poll could be an outlier, but if it isn't, it suggests that even racial pride is reaching its limits.
There's more bad news for Obama's party in November. The groups among which Obama does non-terribly are the least likely to help re-elect Democrats: young people because they tend not to vote, blacks because they tend to be concentrated in safe Democratic districts gerrymandered to elect minority representatives. The black vote is, however, important in statewide races, and that is good news for Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray, Harry Reid and that guy in Illinois with the long name.
Speaking of Illinois, though, a new survey by Public Policy Polling finds that Obama is in the red even in the Land of Lincoln, where "44% approve of the job he's doing while 49% say they disapprove." Obama's less-than-enthusiastic reception in Iowa and elsewhere is a metaphor for his presidency: He seems to be wearing out his welcome, even in his own backyard.
Fool's Gold?
Yesterday we noted that President Obama, not as part of a deliberate strategy to counter the false impression that he's a Muslim, talked at some length during one of his back-yard shindigs about his ostensible Christian faith. Among things, the president said that "the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead--being my brothers' and sisters' keeper, treating others as they would treat me."
Reader Steven Muchmore writes that he was "struck" by "the subtle misquoting of the Golden Rule":
The most succinct statement of the Golden Rule in the Bible is Luke 6:31: "Do to others as you would have them do to you."
There is a subtle, but rather significant, difference between saying "[I treat] others the way they would treat me" and "[I treat] others the way I would want them to treat me."
The second is the Golden Rule. The first sounds more like the pagans and tax collectors from Matthew 5:43-47:
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?"
Probably what Obama meant to say was: Do to others as you would have them to do you, unless they make over $250,000 a year.
More ObamaCare Surprises
"McDonald's Corp. has warned federal regulators that it could drop its health insurance plan for nearly 30,000 hourly restaurant workers unless regulators waive a new requirement of the U.S. health overhaul," The Wall Street Journal reports.
McDonald's offers many of its employees "mini-med" plans with limited benefits:
A single worker can pay $14 a week for a plan that caps annual benefits at $2,000, or about $32 a week to get coverage up to $10,000 a year.
Last week, a senior McDonald's official informed the Department of Health and Human Services that the restaurant chain's insurer won't meet a 2011 requirement to spend at least 80% to 85% of its premium revenue on medical care.
McDonald's and trade groups say the percentage, called a medical loss ratio, is unrealistic for mini-med plans because of high administrative costs owing to frequent worker turnover, combined with relatively low spending on claims.
Democrats who drafted the health law wanted the requirement to prevent insurers from spending too much on executive salaries, marketing and other costs that they said don't directly help patients.
The Journal news story describes the announcement as "the latest indication of possible unintended consequences from the health overhaul." Well, Nancy Pelosi did warn us: "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it." Did anyone think she was suggesting there would be pleasant surprises?
Can't a Newspaper De-Endorse a Candidate?
Blogger David Gerstman embarrasses the editorial board of the Washington Post by digging up their 2008 endorsement of Barack Obama for president:
Mr. Obama, as anyone who reads his books can tell, also has a sophisticated understanding of the world and America's place in it. He, too, is committed to maintaining U.S. leadership and sticking up for democratic values, as his recent defense of tiny Georgia makes clear. We hope he would navigate between the amoral realism of some in his party and the counterproductive cocksureness of the current administration, especially in its first term. On most policies, such as the need to go after al-Qaeda, check Iran's nuclear ambitions and fight HIV/AIDS abroad, he differs little from Mr. Bush or Mr. McCain. But he promises defter diplomacy and greater commitment to allies. His team overstates the likelihood that either of those can produce dramatically better results, but both are certainly worth trying.
Mr. Obama's greatest deviation from current policy is also our biggest worry: his insistence on withdrawing U.S. combat troops from Iraq on a fixed timeline. Thanks to the surge that Mr. Obama opposed, it may be feasible to withdraw many troops during his first two years in office. But if it isn't--and U.S. generals have warned that the hard-won gains of the past 18 months could be lost by a precipitous withdrawal--we can only hope and assume that Mr. Obama would recognize the strategic importance of success in Iraq and adjust his plans.
Gerstman notes that in an editorial yesterday, the Post editors fault Obama for approaching Afghanistan--the war to which he was supposedly committed--in essentially the same way they feared he would approach Iraq:
What's most disturbing in [Bob] Woodward's book is the evidence it offers that Mr. Obama's own commitment to his plan is weak. The president is described as preoccupied with finding "an exit strategy" that will reduce the U.S. military involvement as quickly as possible. "This needs to be a plan about how we are going to hand it off and get out of Afghanistan," Mr. Woodward quotes him as saying in one meeting. . . .
Perhaps the most damning assessment of the president comes from Gen. [Douglas] Lute, who Mr. Woodward says concluded that "Obama had to do this 18-month surge just to demonstrate, in effect, that it couldn't be done . . . the president had treated the military as another political constituency that had to be accommodated." For the sake of the Americans fighting in Afghanistan, and the families of the 360 service members who have died there this year, we hope that is not the case.
Puffington Host headline: "Obama Out of Afghanistan 'Psychologically,' Woodward Says." The same cannot be said for our soldiers.
The Post doesn't come right out and say it was wrong to endorse Obama, and as far as we know there is no tradition of newspapers "de-endorsing" candidates. But it does make one wonder about the wisdom of endorsing them in the first place. (The Wall Street Journal, which publishes this website, endorsed Herbert Hoover in 1928 and never repeated that mistake.)
Obviously any editorial page or commentator--or, for that matter, any voter--is going to make misjudgments from time to time. But somehow the misjudgment seems weightier when it comes in the form of an institutional endorsement, especially from an institution like a newspaper that is supposed to be independent.
Don't Write Off the Write-In
Monica Lewinsky lives. Alaska's senior senator, waging a write-in campaign after being defeated in last month's Republican primary, is showing surprising strength in a pair of new polls, Politico reports. A CNN poll finds GOP nominee Joe Miller with 38% of the vote, barely ahead of Krustofsky's 36%. Democrat Scott McAdams brings up the rear with 22%. A poll by Alaska-based Craciun Research gives Mxyzptlki an 11-point lead over Miller, 41% to 30%, with 19% for McAdams.
Of course, Mamalamadowski has two strikes against her: She won't be on the ballot, and her name is difficult to spell. As Politico notes: "Neither survey was able to gauge the likelihood that voters will indeed write in Murkowski's [sic] name on the ballot--or if they will be able to correctly do so in order for their vote to be counted.
Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that another Senate primary loser, Rep. Mike Castle of Delaware, has restored his good name by opting against a write-in candidacy.

Killer Paper Clips
"One of the tools that teachers use to get kids jazzed about science--hands-on science kits--could face an uncertain future amid a debate on safety," the Associated Press reports from Washington:
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has been mired for weeks in deliberation as it writes guidelines on what makes a product a "children's product"--and consequently which products would have to undergo more stringent safety testing as part of a 2008 law. Caught up in the debate are the classroom science kits and some of the items they contain, such as paper clips to show kids how magnets work.
Science kit makers asked for a testing exemption for the paper clips and other materials. The commission declined to grant them a blanket waiver as part of the guidance the agency approved Wednesday on a 3-2 vote.
There are other absurdities, too. For instance: "While a lamp adorned with [a] teddy bear could be considered a child's product, the same lamp without the bear decoration could be placed in a child's room and require no testing whatsoever."
But given the Democrats' claims to be the party of science, the Obama administration's war on science-kit paper clips is especially rich. At this rate, soon the only thing kids will be allowed to play with is stem cells.

SMIDSY is usually uttered when some daft driver has knocked you off your bike at night even though you're dripping with LEDs and smothered in Scotchlite.

Grace Zabriskie Movies
To say that
Grace Zabriskie
has specialized in maternal roles is hardly adequate. Many of the mothers portrayed by Zabriskie in films and on TV are the sort of parents that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy: clinging, castrating, and constantly jabbering away about nothing in particular (to be fair, she has essayed a few benign, likeable moms). She has been prominently featured in such films as
Norma Rae
Drugstore Cowboy
(1988), and
The Big Easy
(1989). Her TV work includes the roles of Laura Palmer's hysterical mother in
Twin Peaks
(1990) and the recurring part of Thada Duvall in the NBC daytimer Santa Barbara. Undoubtedly, Zabriskie's most bizarre screen assignment was her S&M sex scene in
Chain of Desire
(1991). As brash and outspoken as ever,
Grace Zabriskie
played Granny in first-time director
Anjelica Huston

Wesley Snipes is battling bad guys in the air again, this time with parachutes, in this action-packed suspense thriller. Pete Nessip (Snipes) is a Federal Marshall who, teamed with his brother Terry (Malcolm-Jamal Warner), is escorting criminal computer genius Earl Leedy (Michael Jeter) to a new prison facility. Pete, Terry, and Earl are on a jet en route to Earl's new lockup when terrorists attempt a daring hijacking; Terry is killed in an explosion aboard the plane, and suddenly Earl is missing. Pete discovers that a team of sky-diving outlaws, led by former DEA agent gone bad Ty Moncrief (Gary Busey), have snatched Earl from his flight and spirited him away for a special raid on Washington D.C.; Ty and his men intend to take advantage of an obscure rule in which the normally restricted airspace in Washington D.C. is open to parachute enthusiasts on July 4. Eager to avenge his brother's death and put both Ty and Earl behind bars, Pete recruits sky-diving expert Jessie Crossman (Yancy Butler) to teach him how to infiltrate Ty's team of sky-bound criminals. Superb aerial stunt work highlights this film; please note that Pete's last name is an anagram for the leading man's last name. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

For his second outing as a director, filmmaker Philip Ridley once again enlisted the talents of Viggo Mortensen, who starred in Ridley's debut, The Reflecting Skin, and co-stars here with Ashley Judd and Brendan Fraser. Fraser plays Darkley Noon, a disturbed young man who received a sheltered upbringing from his strict Christian parents. When the elder Noons pass on, Darkly wanders off aimlessly until he is picked up by a passing truck driver named Jude (Loren Dean). Jude leaves the physically worn Darkly with Callie (Judd) and Clay (Mortensen), a young married couple. As Callie cares for Darkly, he begins to develop romantic and sexual feelings for her, feelings that threaten to turn violent when Darkly is taunted by the love between Callie and Clay. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Children of the Dust
Friendship and racism in 1880s America is explored in this made-for-television drama. Sidney Poitier stars as Gypsy Smith, a bounty hunter who, much to the chagrin of the local white population, leads a group of black settlers to Oklahoma to form their own free community. The film shows how racial tensions erupt between the black and white homesteaders. The Native American experience of racism is intertwined into the plot as well, with the story of a young Cheyenne boy who has lost his roots. Sidney Poitier and Regina Taylor were nominated for Image awards for their performances. Based on the novel by Clancy Carlile, the film originally aired in two parts. ~ Bernadette McCallion, Rovi

In this family drama, a white Southerner discovers that his family history isn't what he thought it was -- with the fact that he's half-black only one of his many surprises. Earl Pilcher, Jr. (Robert Duvall) runs a gas station in Arkansas; he's a typical middle-aged Southern man who likes his pickup truck and loves his momma. Shortly after his mother's death, he receives some very unexpected news; she wasn't really his mother after all. It seems that years ago, Earl Sr. (James N. Harrell) raped the family's African-American maid, Willie Mae, who nine months later died while giving birth to Earl Jr. To avoid further scandal, Mrs. Pilcher simply raised Earl Jr. as her own. While the family has kept the matter a secret all these years, Earl Jr. has a half-brother living in Chicago, and it was his mother's wish that the two should some day meet and become friends. Earl travels to Chicago and tracks down Ray Murdock (James Earl Jones), a veteran police officer and Willie Mae's other son. Earl Jr. quickly learns that Ray has little interest in getting to know him better; he knows all the facts behind the matter, and he's always blamed Earl for the death of his mother. However, Earl Jr. isn't used to life in a big city up north, and after he's mugged and carjacked, Ray grudgingly takes in his half-brother, letting him stay in the home he shares with his son Virgil (Michael Beach) and Aunt T. (Irma P. Hall), who raised Ray as a boy. A Family Thing was written by Billy Bob Thornton shortly before his breakthrough as writer, director, and star of Sling Blade. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Accomplished actress Anjelica Huston, daughter of John Huston, made her directorial debut with this absorbing, often wrenching story of child abuse in the 1950s American South. Based on a novel by Dorothy Allison, the film (narrated by Laura Dern) tells the tale of Bone (Jena Malone), a poor white girl so named because she was born right after her mother survived a terrifying car crash. While Bone is still a small child, her single mother, Anney (Jennifer Jason Leigh), meets and marries the sweet Lyle (Dermot Mulroney), and the two add another daughter to the family before Lyle dies in an auto accident. Anney is next courted by the less good-natured Glen (Ron Eldard), who takes out his rage on Bone both physically and sexually, as Bone becomes even more disillusioned at her mother's inability to get away from her monstrous husband. Set in South Carolina in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Bastard Out Of Carolina touches on many aspects of life, family, and hardship amidst the poor white of the South. TNT owner Ted Turner refused to air the film, ostensibly because of its difficult subject matter, but the film goes out of its way to handle its material with as little exploitation as possible. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Melba (Park Overall) lives in a trailer park in Victorville, California and is on a run of bad luck. Her husband Flint (Don Harvey) runs out on her when she catches him with a girlfriend. Her mother Sherri (Grace Zabriskie) connects her to a phone psychic, who tells her to watch for three kings who will change her life. In a bar, she runs into Trent (Jamie Kennedy), Brad (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and Joel (Steven Petrarca), who are on their way to Las Vegas, hoping to win enough money to pay their back rent. They nickname her Sparkler; she figures they're the kings and runs off with them. Meanwhile, Flint finds out Melba's won a million-dollar sweepstakes, but she must accept the prize in person within 72 hours or lose it. Melba finds her way to the Crack, a Vegas strip club, and runs into her high school pal Dottie Delgato (Veronica Cartwright) who lives with the club's lesbian owner, Ed (Sandy Martin). Flint, on the other hand, is desperately hunting Melba down with a plan to keep the sweepstakes money for himself. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

This independent comedy-drama concerns George (David Morse), who works as a janitor cleaning up at a bar in a small town. While no one's sure if George is retarded, he doesn't seem to live in the same world as the rest of them; if he's not unintelligent, he is unfortunately gullible and trusting and lacks the ability to dodge around people's emotions in conversation. George has always thought of his birthday as his good luck day, so one year he decides to celebrate by taking a trip to Reno, and for a change George's hunch is right on the money -- he wins big and comes home with enough money to buy his own house and start his own cleaning business. George finds he's lonely in his new home, and he asks Angela (Nina Siemaszko), a young woman who works at a discount store, to move in with him. Angela doesn't care for her job and is desperate to get away from her harridan mother, so she agrees, though life with George proves to be both funny and troubling. George B. was shown in competition at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Seinfeld: The Finale, Part 2
In the concluding half of Seinfeld's controversial series finale, Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), Kramer (Michael Richards), and Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) find themselves stranded in Latham, MA -- and even worse, they are facing arrest for violating the town's new Good Samaritan law (it seems there was this mugging...). Hoping to beat the rap -- and make it to California in time for Jerry to sell his proposed sitcom "about nothing" -- the gang engages the services of flamboyant lawyer Jackie Chiles (Phil Morris). Alas, the prosecution has managed to round up a daunting array of witnesses to bolster their case against the foursome, including Sidra (Teri Hatcher) of "they're real and they're spectacular" fame, the Soup Nazi (Larry Thomas), Marla the Virgin (Jane Leeves), and the Bubble Boy (Jon Hayman) -- while the sour-faced judge (Stanley Anderson) with the familiar-sounding name fumes, and a vengeful Newman (Wayne Knight) chuckles from the sidelines.

After astronomy students discover a comet-asteroid collision, an asteroid fragment "the size of the Super Dome" threatens. It's destroyed by a secret USA defense in space, but a large chunk veers off toward Singapore. With another asteroid "the size of Texas" en route, a plan is devised to send oil drillers to land on the asteroid and drop a nuclear device down a 1000-foot shaft, a scheme calculated to crack the asteroid into two halves, saving Earth. NASA begins a crash program to train beer-besotted oil roughnecks for the mission. During a stopover to refuel at the Mir Station, the space station is accidentally destroyed, so a Russian cosmonaut also joins the team.

In this action thriller, a master car thief has his skills pushed to the limit. Randall "Memphis" Raines (Nicolas Cage) can steal practically any car that crosses his path. While he has done well in his life of crime, he knows that there's a short future in theft, and he wants to get out of the business. But his retirement plans are interrupted when his younger brother Kip (Giovanni Ribisi) gets in trouble with a dangerous crime boss. To get his brother out of harm's way, Randall agrees to a profitable but risky scheme to steal 50 luxury cars in one night, with the help of several other car thieves, including Sara "Sway" Wayland (Angelina Jolie). A rival group of thieves is trying to pull the same stunt at the same time, and detectives Castlebeck (Delroy Lindo) and Drycoff (Timothy Olyphant) are trying to shut down both operations. Also starring Robert Duvall as Otto Halliwell, and Scott Caan as Tumbler, Gone in Sixty Seconds is a remake of the 1974 low-budget action hit of the same name, best remembered for a 40-minute chase scene in which 90 cars were destroyed. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Based on the novel by Brooks Stanwood, The Glow stars Dean Cain and Portia de Rossi as Matt and Jackie Lawrence, an affluent yuppie couple with two beautiful children. Rounding out their success story, the Lawrences move into a gorgeous New York apartment, where they soon discover that their neighbors are all elderly -- and all incredibly healthy. It is only after the neighbors make the couple an offer they can't refuse that Jackie realizes the grisly horror awaiting her family in their "dream" home. Not dissimilar to Rosemary's Baby, the made-for-TV The Glow was supposed to have aired during the fall of 2001, but for various reasons (including an unofficial post-9/11 moratorium on suspense films set in New York) the film did not make its Fox Network bow until August 30, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

As a result, each girl loses one of her senses: Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) is deaf ("Hear no evil"), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) is blind ("See no evil"), and Paige (Rose McGowan) is mute ("Speak no evil"). In addition to compounding the girls' domestic, professional, and personal problems, their afflictions also leave little Wyatt defenseless -- or so it seems. Despite being unable to speak throughout most of the episode, Paige manages to belt out a rendition of Peggy Lee's "Fever." ~ Rovi

Kentucky Cancels Coal Plant, New Power Movement Electrifies Grassroot Alliance
Thanks to a powerful and growing New Power grassroots movement, a broad alliance of Kentucky activists sent an electrifying message across the nation today: A just transition to a clean energy future, even in the heartland of coal country Kentucky, is possible.
Recognizing the spiraling costs of coal-fired plant construction and more practical energy efficiency and renewable energy options, the East Kentucky Power Cooperative has agreed to halt its once fervent plans to construct two coal-burning power plants in Clark County.
The announcement comes nearly one year after American Municipal Power abandoned its plans to build a coal-fired power plant along the Ohio River in Meigs County, and shifted the battle between coal-fired plants and New Power sources to Kentucky.
Led by EKPC members, the Sierra Club, Kentucky Environmental Foundation and Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, along with individual co-op members Wendell Berry, Father John Rausch and Dr. John A. Patterson, the announcement comes as an extraordinary shift in the national debate over coal-fired energy.
Doug Doerrfeld, a member of Grayson Rural Electric and past chairperson of Kentuckians For The Commonwealth, said the agreement marked a significant turning point for Kentucky. "This is very good news for all of Kentucky's distribution co-ops and their members. EKPC can now avoid the huge cost of building the plant and turn its attention to aggressively pursuing energy efficiency and renewable energy options. I believe those strategies hold the greatest promise for keeping rates as low as possible in the long run for Grayson Rural Electric members, especially our many low-income ratepayers."
"This agreement demonstrates what can happen when people work together," said Billy Edwards, a Clark Energy customer and Sierra Club member. "It creates an opportunity for our cooperative to become a leader in developing affordable, accessible clean energy and energy efficiency programs that can create jobs across the region while meeting the needs of their customers."
"I'm awfully glad to be party to a settlement that is amicable and made in good faith," said Wendell Berry, a farmer, renowned author, and Shelby Energy co-op member. "I do, on the basis of long experience, value the idea of a cooperative - which is to say an established cooperation between suppliers and users of energy or of any other vital supply. I'm also glad that the settlement agreement establishes a way forward through the establishment of a collaborative which will allow for informal conversations without the rigidity and anxiety of legal process."
The cooperative also committed $125,000 toward a collaborative effort in which plaintiff groups, EKPC and its member co-ops, and other parties will work together to evaluate and recommend new energy efficiency programs and renewable energy options.
During the campaign to stop the proposed Smith #1 coal-fired plant, the New Power movement hailed a breakthrough study completed last summer by The Och Center for Metropolitan Studies, which concluded:
As an alternative to building the proposed Smith #1 plant, an investment in a combination of energy efficiency, weatherization, hydropower and wind power initiatives in the East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC) region would generate more than 8,750 new jobs for Kentucky residents, witha total impact of more than $1.7 billion on the region's economy over the next three years. This alternative approach would meet the energy needs of EKPC customers at a lower cost than the proposed coal plant.
Unlike projected economic activity that would result from construction of a new coalâburning
power plant, investing in renewable energy, efficiency and weatherization would result in jobs
and benefits across the region rather than in a smaller geographic area around the site of the
proposed coal burning power plant.
Over a three year period of construction and implementation, energy efficiency and
weatherization initiatives would create nearly $1.2 billion in economic activity and more than
5,400 jobs. The development of small scale hydropower generation at 20 sites in the region
would create more than $500 million in economic activity and more than 3,300 jobs.

Lunch in Worcester?
Every year I attend a conference over a weekend at the DCU center in Worcester and struggle to find someplace fun to eat.
I looked into going to Baba, but they don't open until 2:30.
Last year we went to Tortilla Sam's - it was okay, but not great.
Ideally, a place that we could walk to would be great, but I'm willing to drive for good food (does that not go without saying?).
Thanks for your help.

A letter from the wife of a British nobleman describing Michael Collins as a man of "brilliancy as a romantic figure' is to be auctioned in Dublin leading to renewed speculation they had an affair.
The Irish Times quotes from the letter from Lady Hazel Lavery which praises Collins for his 'dignity, pride, wisdom, a wonderful beauty of character and qualities of statesmanship that only a few had begun to recognise'.
Lady Lavery added: "It is my greatest wish that something should be written about Michael that will be worthy of his greatness of mind and soul and that will show the world in the future, just what he meant in his life and death to the Irish people."
The letter, written by Lady Lavery to a biographer just a few short years after the Rebel leader's death, has come to light ahead of the sale of Collins memorabilia.

Dublin Archbishop tells lapsed Catholics to leave the Catholic Church
'Quiet Man' cottage lies in ruins as desperate bid to save it begins
Lady Lavery, whose image featured on the first Irish bank notes, hosted Collins and his delegation at several dinners when they went to London to sign the Anglo-Irish treaty 90 years ago.
The Chicago born wife of artist Sir John Lavery also introduced Collins and his entourage to many high profile figures in post World War 1 England, including her close friend Winston Churchill.
She was described as "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Midwest" during her US days.
Rumours that Lady Lavery had an affair with Collins while he resided in London during the Anglo-Irish Treaty talks have never been substantiated.
She was clearly taken with Collins however to judge by the newly discovered letter which was sent to author General Piaras Beasley, a survivor of the 1916 Rising, when he began to write a biography of Collins after his murder in 1922.

More Irish history news from IrishCentral
Dublin Archbishop tells lapsed Catholics to leave the Catholic Church
'Quiet Man' cottage lies in ruins as desperate bid to save it begins
She went on to describe Collins as: "A man of gay courage and brilliancy as a romantic figure."
The Times reports that the four-page hand-written letter from Lady Lavery was sent to General Piaras Béaslaí, a veteran of the 1916 Rising and the War of Independence, as he worked on a biography of Collins.
Beasley published his book 'Michael Collins and the Making of a New Ireland' to wide acclaim in 1926.
Valued at between $1,500 and $3,000, the letter will be auctioned at Dublin's D4 Berkeley Hotel by the Mealy's firm on Tuesday.
The auctioneers say it is the first time they have come across such a letter from Lady Lavery, who died in 1935 at the age of 51.
Why are the blockheads demonising Irish women??? Ireland north you are an ingrate.
It seems Lady Lavery was a sympathiser not a supporter of British rule in Ireland. Describing her as one of the 'the enemies high society ladies' would indicate you haven't comprehended the actual news story. I dread to think what you'd make of Countess Markiewicz. Michael Collins should not be reduced to the level of a Sun news story from the reality TV generation. Gladstone spent an inordinate amount of time counselling ladies of the night from Piccadilly Circus and he is remembered more as a capable Prime Minister.
After running the Black 'n' Tans ragged, he succeeded in bonking one of the enemies high society ladies. Terrorism/schmerrorism! (I wonder are there any little Michal'eens running around out there?) Nothing like the smell of eau-de-semtex to get the society ladies juicing.
Yeah- and Eamonn De Valera was the escapologist of the century and managed to walk out of a high security jail without the (cough) authorities knowing in advance. Is it true that De Valera had a Crown Pension?
Well done borderboy fact beats fiction any day.You're correct in stating that the lavery's were republican sympathisers.
Two Irishmen that may have given her one, ended up being shoot dead,sounds doggie.
Unless they took the 'long way home' from Mass, I doubt if Hazel and Mick ever had an opportunity to climb into bed together. It is a preposterous notion, actually, thought up by people who want history in a Hollywood script. And I wish you would set aside the ridiculous notion that Hazel's husband was a 'British nobleman'. He was the son of a Belfast Catholic publican who managed to inveigle his way into London society because he was a good portrait painter. He was equally infatuated by Collins. Now don't start spreading rumours about that too!
Sounds suspiciously like a blurb for a book.I hope he did sleep with her as my toast to the Queen goes.Here's to the Queen f... the Queen!
I agree Katielady and did not intend to suggest that Michael Collins lost his senses- not that sort of chap by all accounts. In connection with the dinner with Churchill I suspect that Lady Lavery may have had a hand in arranging that social meeting. All I know of the dinner party itself is that it went on late into the night and both Churchill and Collins very much enjoyed each other's company. Churchill prided himself as a judge of character and tended to make such judgements and Collins certainly impressed him as a leader and a man of substance.
"Love letters" are letters between lovers. This is a letter of praise to a third party.
John Lavery was probably no cuckold, and he was certainly not a British nobleman. He knew about the close relationship between his beautiful wife Hazel and Michael Collins during the period of the Treaty negotiations in London and he openly referred to Collins as his wife's 'Sunday husband'. That was because the Big Fella used to accompany her to Mass. Whether their close relationship was carnal has been a subject of speculation in modern times: previously, one would never question the honour or conduct of a lady and gentleman. Incidentally, the stunning Lady Lavery also had a close relationship with Kevin O'Higgins, the Cumann na nGaedhal government minister shot by the IRA when he was emerging from Mass in 1927. Again, there has been modern speculation about a love affair and there is more evidential substance for this from O'Higgins' passionate correspondence. Like many others, he was clearly smitten by the beautiful Chicago girl. As for John Lavery, he was born in Belfast and was the son of a Catholic pub owner. He studied art in Glasgow and Paris, settled in London and was appointed a 'War artist' in 1914 but was too ill to go to the front. So his war art tends was from the 'home front'. Nevertheless, he was knighted for his services at the end of the war and became Sir John Lavery. He seems to have lapsed from Catholicism, but his one-time faith was the reason Hazel (Martyn) was attracted to him in the fist place and married his after she became a young widow. Yet there is overwhelming evidence that he was no traitor to his Irish nationalist roots and he and Hazel were strong supporters of Sinn Féin and the breakaway Dáil Éireann, hence their hospitality for Collins, Arthur Griffith etc. during those crucial talks 90 years ago. There has been no speculation so far, however, that Hazel bedded Griffith,!
I have read that Collins and Churchill had a good relationship in biographies of both. But while it may been a "long and bibulous" evening I doubt Michael Collins lost his senses. He was above all, a clever lad. They and Lady Lavery lived in times and events where "love" was also a romantic ideal. Michael Collins was an idealist,a realist and he was a devout Catholic with a romantic relationship with Kitty Kiernan. I doubt they had any 'consummation'.. but may have had a very strong romantic attraction.
How hard is it to put HER picture in the article?
Agree with CaptainCon
Well he was a man after all. So they slept with each other. He had good taste in women, and what better way to thumb his nose at the Brits.
Interesting stuff- I know that there was a dinner at Winston Churchill's London house during the negotiations as Churchill was curious to meet Collins. Collins showed Churchill a 'Wanted poster' he'd brought from Dublin as a souvenir with a reward of something like £20 for information leading to the capture of Michael Collins. Churchill disappeared for a few moments and showed Collins a 'Wanted' poster the Boers had printed for his capture after escaping their prison camp in the earlier Boer War- (a reward of £5.00 was offered). Some remarks about 'inflation' were swapped and Collins and Churchill got on famously from there and it was a long and bibulous night thereafter. Churchill wrote a letter of condolence to Collins' family on hearing of the assassination in West Cork and remarked that Ireland had 'lost a great leader'. Churchill had no such respect or admiration for De Valera and that was long before WWII- and I have a suspicion I know why. Churchill knew that De Valera was not what he seemed either in England or in Ireland.
