Voters unkind to school levies across Ohio on Tuesday
Written by AVC NewsE. Guernsey Schools levy among 16 voted down during special election
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Unofficial results show voters rejected about two-thirds of the 19 school tax issues in special elections around Ohio.
The Ohio Secretary of State's office says about one-fourth of Ohio's counties had special elections Tuesday. The 28 tax issues across 23 counties included 19 school issues. Unofficial results from county election boards show voters rejected 13 school issues and approved six.
In Guernsey County, voters in the East Guernsey Local School District voted down an emergency operating levy. The 9.89 mill, five-year operating levy would have raised an additional $1.25 million for the District each year.
Voters also rejected a particularly large 12.37-mill levy for Tecumseh Local Schools in Clark County. It would have cost the owner of a $100,000 property nearly $433 a year. Voters have turned down nine other ballot issues since 2004 in the western Ohio district.
Voters approved renewal of a levy for Cloverleaf Local Schools in northeast Ohio's Medina County while rejecting the district's request for an additional levy.

Mitten Cookies
Hello All! I apologize for the long hiatus, but unfortunately I have been struggling with a bad bout of migraine headaches (I've had migraines all my life). I worked hard these last couple of months to get better control of them, and while they are improving, I am still not 100%. So please hang in there with me, as I know I have horribly neglected the blog. I do, however, vow to be more faithful to my fellow cyberchefs and keep posting!
So now on to the fun stuff. Here are the new Winter cookies at the store (The Crown Market.) While I would love to take full credit, I simply cannot. I created these cookies last year, however, since then, our intern, now-turned assistant pastry chef, Samantha Persaud, has improved upon them and made them her own. Sam insisted that something in our bakery repertoire be pink, so she introduced a pink mitten alongside my original blue, and added the addition of colored sugar, which I think makes the cookie entirely. Not only does it add extra color to the cookies, but it gives the great illusion of a fuzzy yarn. These cute mitten cookies are perfect for the season and are as fun to look at as they are to eat! Glazed in blue or pink icing and decorated with royal icing and accented with blue and purple sanding sugar, they are the perfect winter treat!
Each cookie retails for $1.69.

In the Trade
by Frank Donegan
Mary and Bob Fraser. Exterior view of the shop. A lot of work went into making it look as if nothing much was done to this barn. A partial view of the Frasers' shop. Another view of the shop. A chestnut-backed cupboard in an old mulberry red is $2200. From left, top shelf: a gilt-bordered metal plaque with folky painting of a farmhouse in snow, $85; a yellowware bowl with embossed foliate design, $55; and a small gold-painted eagle meant to hold a little Memorial Day-type flag, $140. Middle shelf: an Asian plate, $110; a tiny painted tin document box in good shape, $55, and an Imari plate, $110. Bottom row: a Shaker carrier (with "some imperfections," Mary said) in mustard paint with copper nails, $475; a small redware bowl, $150; and a Shaker coffeepot with a little early patch on the bottom, $110. This hooked rug, dated 1898, in beige, pale blue, and rose tones is $350. The heart in the center is vivid blue. "Hooked rugs are soft right now," Mary said. An Ojibwa herb-gathering basket is $850. "I love Indian things," said Mary. "We don't really have a market for Indian, but I still buy it." A view of the shop's book room. Mary and Bob don't sell a lot of books, but Mary said, "You can sell people a book who wouldn't buy an antique." She doesn't specialize but tends to carry mostly genealogy, children's books, antiques reference works, and books about Vermont. She also has odds and ends such as bookmarks and bookends. "I like anything book-y," she said. |
Last month in this space we featured two young dealers whose combined ages—as one of them pointed out—didn't add up to 80 years. Well, this month we're going to the opposite end of the spectrum. Mary and Bob Fraser of Chester, Vermont, have had an open shop for almost 50 years (it'll be exactly 50 in July), and they are not shy about admitting their ages, which, combined, add up to 161 years.
Best of all, they're still going strong. When we visited them back in October, they had just returned from exhibiting at the Bromley Mountain show where they had sold, among other things, a harvest table, two sets of chairs, and a small chimney cupboard.
"There's a lot of energy at that show," said Mary, who herself seems not to lack for energy. Besides having raised four kids, she and her husband have restored a bunch of houses, exhibited at up to 25 shows a year, and kept a large shop open and fully stocked. In addition, Mary is secretary of the Vermont Antiques Dealers' Association. She writes the VermontADA news column you read in this publication.
For the past half-century, dealers such as the Frasers have been the bedrock of the New England country antiques trade. They deal in everything that has turned the "country look" into a perennial design favorite. They sell good, solid stuff that can go into any home whose owner wants to evoke a comfortable rural ambiance. As their business card states, the Frasers deal in "blankets, country furniture, quilts, coverlets, samplers, wrought and cast iron, folk art, soft paste, stoneware, yellowware, wooden ware, hooked and woven rugs, etc., etc., etc."
Unlike many dealers today, the Frasers are adamant about maintaining an open shop. Five years ago, they bought their current home because it had just the type of roadside barn that could be turned into a shop. Considering that they were in their mid-70's at the time, and that the barn had large holes in the floor and no foundation, it was quite an undertaking. But Bob, an industrial arts teacher who took early retirement, worked with a former student to get the project done. Now, on the outside, the place looks like a typical weathered small Vermont barn that has been pretty much undisturbed for decades, but inside it has been transformed into a roomy, wood-planked shop, heated by an inviting stove and filled with lots of inventory.
For the Frasers it clearly doesn't matter what your age is: if you're going to be an antiques dealer, you should have an open shop. "I feel that's what's wrong with the antiques business—not enough open shops," Mary said. As do many dealers of a certain age, she recalls an era when customers, pickers, and dealers spent long hours in shops telling stories, exchanging information, and discussing the fine points of objects. Nothing passed the time in a more congenial fashion than flipping over a piece of furniture and talking about it. That's a lot less likely to happen in antiques malls or show booths.
Mary said it's nearly impossible to repeat those experiences today. She noted that on a recent buying trip, "We drove one hundred seventy-five miles to visit shops, and we were only able to spend one hundred seventy-four dollars." There simply aren't enough shops anymore. "There used to be more than you had money for. You had to pass on things," she said.
The Frasers opened their first shop as young marrieds. They had been high school sweethearts in Milford, New Hampshire. Bob had served in the Navy during the Korean War and had gotten his teaching degree from Keene State College on the GI Bill. Mary had received her teaching degree from the University of New Hampshire.
By the summer of 1963, they were in Hollis, New Hampshire, where Bob was teaching. They were furnishing their home with antiques, and Mary was running a private kindergarten out of a shed attached to her kitchen. "It had a pink floor," she said. (For those who may not know, New Hampshire was the last state to mandate public kindergarten. The last school districts to offer it did not do so until the 2010 school year. In earlier years, if you lived in New Hampshire and wanted your kids to go to kindergarten, you hired someone like Mary to teach them.)
By that summer Mary was also pregnant with her daughter Kate. She felt that her condition and running the kindergarten weren't quite compatible, so, she said, "We filled up the kindergarten with antiques, put out a sign, had a customer within a half-hour, sold something, and have been doing it ever since."
The date was July 10, 1963, and they were antiques dealers. "As soon as neighbors saw the antiques sign they started bringing us things," Mary said. "We just went by the seat of our pants. My customers educated me."
She recalled one early lesson. "A woman had a plank-end chest and wanted thirty-five dollars. I had heard that plank-end chests should cost about thirty dollars, so that's what I offered." The deal was struck, and Mary took the chest back to the shop. A dealer came in and pointed out that the piece was a French-foot Federal chest worth considerably more than what Mary was asking. Sometimes, as the saying goes, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. The next time Mary saw a French-foot chest, "I paid seventy-five dollars and then asked too much for it and didn't sell it until I figured out I was asking too much."
The Frasers moved from New Hampshire to Vermont in 1967, after Bob got a teaching job in Springfield. The first house they bought was the General Lewis Morris house on the Connecticut River. Morris served in the Revolutionary War and was a congressman from Vermont. The hipped-roof Colonial had eight fireplaces "and wonderful garden land," as Mary said. The reason they could afford such an impressive homestead on the modest income of a middle-school teacher and an antiques dealer was that it was in sad shape. By way of understatement, Mary explained, "All the houses we have bought have been in a considerable state of disrepair."
Their next house was even more of a project. Mary said that she was doing some part-time social work that required her to drive to meetings in Concord, New Hampshire, a couple of times a month. On one trip she noticed a fine early cape that was destined to be replaced by a branch bank. It dated from 1735 and had four fireplaces and two beehive ovens. After some involved machinations—and despite the fact that they owned no land to put it on—the couple acquired the structure. They quickly bought 40 acres of land overlooking the Connecticut River back in Vermont and moved the house from its cramped triangle of land in Concord.
One of the side benefits to having a husband who's an industrial arts teacher is that he has plenty of skills that come in handy when an early house has to be reconstructed. After everything was done, Mary said, "When you walked in you would have thought it had been standing there since 1735."
When Bob retired from teaching after 28 years, the Frasers decided that their 40-acre spread, while beautiful, was too far off the beaten track for a couple who now planned to be true full-time antiques dealers. "When Bob retired we felt we needed a better place to sell antiques," as Mary put it. They bought an 1840's brick cape in Taftville, a hamlet of Woodstock, and lived there for 20 years until they bought their current home.
The Frasers have been doing shows for almost the entire time they have been in the business. "For a couple of years we just did the shop," Bob said. He noted that the couple's first show, in Leominster, Massachusetts, had a home-buying element to it. "Mary was doing the show. The same day there was an auction of a house and contents. I actually went to buy the house. I bought a highboy instead—for one thousand dollars. I only made thirty-nine hundred dollars a year in my first job. I never wrote a check that big in my life. I had to write it twice to get it right."
They exhibited at Betty Forbes's shows in Dorset, Vermont, and Glastonbury, Connecticut, and ranged as far south as New Jersey a couple of times. Although they have done as many as 25 shows a year, by last year they had cut back to nine and, Mary added, "Next year maybe not quite so many."
One of Bob's favorites is the Danielson show in Connecticut. "I consider it my trip south for the winter," he said. He likes the show's leisurely Friday setup and early pack-out on Saturday. "I'm back in my bed by Saturday evening."
Mary founded what is now the Bromley show with Lynne Gallipo, who later moved to Arizona. The show started out in Wallingford, but she lost the use of the small elementary school in which it was held. Needing a new venue, she said, "Bob and I hopped in the car. When we got to Bromley, we said, 'If they'll have us, this is it.'" The location proved to be a fortunate choice since other shows sprouted nearby at Okemo, Ludlow, and Manchester. "If we were still up in Wallingford, we'd be out of the loop," Mary said.
Eleven years ago the couple sold the Bromley show to Jim Dunn, and they laud him for the way he has developed it. "He has done everything to make it a good experience for the dealers," Bob said.
The Frasers also take space at the nearby Stone House Antiques Center in Chester, despite their strong bias toward single-owner shops. Mary said, "They're open all the time; we're open by chance or appointment."
As have most dealers, they've seen prices plummet. That $1000 highboy that Bob bought some 45 years ago may now cost even less than it did back then. "Prices have tanked," he said. They've seen basic highboys that used to cost $3500 sell for $850. And as most dealers know, you can completely forget about slant-front desks. Bob said, "The last Governor Winthrop desk we saw was three hundred seventy-five dollars, and we didn't bid on it because we have two in the shop." "Plus one in the house," Mary added.
Mary and Bob have three daughters and a son. The aforementioned Kate, whose arrival propelled her mother into the antiques business, lives in Kingston, New York, and works with the Animal Farm Foundation rescuing pit bulls and trying to rehabilitate their unfortunate reputation. Daughter Lissa teaches at Salve Regina College in Newport, Rhode Island; Donna is a special education teacher in Charlotte, Vermont; and son Stephen lives nearby in Chester where he makes and sells maple syrup and honey. "He does a little bit of everything," his father said.
The kids have suggested that maybe their parents should think about scaling back, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. "We're still having fun with this," Mary said, to which Bob added, "We'll keep on trucking."

Reviews for Big & Buttery Chocolate Chip Cookies(34)
Sort By :
Oh dear what a big mess! I certainly must have done something wrong. They were flatter than a pancake and did not take 10 minutes to bake..because they turned very dark within 6-7 minutes. It's the very first time time a Taste of Home recipe disappointed me. I try a new recipe at least once a week. Could there be a mistake in this recipe?
These are one of my favorite chocolate chips cookies! I love big, soft, chewy cookies and these definitely fit the bill! I usually leave out the nuts, as I don't care for them in my cookies.
I agree that this is an excellent recipe! I've started my own little bakery business and these are the chocolate chip cookies I offer. I've frozen the dough balls with great results and I just put them on the cookie sheet, frozen, and bake them slightly longer. I like them a little softer, too! Great recipe with or without the nuts!
This has become my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. I have made it several times and it is always a hit with many people asking for the recipe. I understand some people would prefer a recipe that you don't need to refrigerate overnight, but for the best results, this is it! To those that had problems with the recipe I have a few suggestions (although I am sure that they are all quality and experienced bakers, sometimes in our experience we may overlook something that is needed). First of all, I would not substitute margarine or any spread for the butter. I have found this to be very important to get the right consistency. Also, make sure your butter is softened to room temperature and not bordering on melted. My kitchen does not have air conditioning (it can be a real trial in during canning!), so my butter can tend to get a bit too soft if I'm not careful. If the dough is still too stick to roll, I wouldn't hesitate to add a little bit of flour, just a smidge at a time. You could also pop the dough in the fridge for a bit to help it set up if needed. This recipe is well worth repeating to get the best results! Also, I have found that the dough balls can be frozen with great success. I line my container with wax paper and keep the balls from touching, but they freeze and keep very nicely for when you only need a few or are short on time. When I am ready to bake them, I simply remove them from the freezer, place them on a lined cookie sheet, let them thaw in the fridge for half an hour or so, and then let them sit at room temperature for the half hour stated in the recipe. Then simply proceed to bake according to directions. A little side note on baking time: Keep in mind that 1/4 cup of dough is much larger than your regular cookie dough ball. If the balls are large enough, the baking time is on target. I like mine a little gooey in the middle, so I keep an eye on the cookies and typically take them out around the 8 or 9 minute mark. All in all, this is the best recipe I have found for chocolate chip cookies. Please don't be afraid to try it!
I am dumbfounded by all of the positive reviews. I followed the recipe. I have been baking successfully for 40 years. All shaping this dough into balls did was lead to a big mess. Even using an ice cream scoop proved difficult. They ran together although placed 3" apart. They are big, but they are not thick. They turned out like over-sized Toll House cookies. I was so excited to try this recipe and I ended up being very disappointed.

Love this easy to use the price is worth it very effective. true to its color would love to purchase another shade and a lot is not needed drys quickly and great for winged look.
Best gel liner
Best gel liner ive tried. Id recommend for those that have a hard time lining their eyes. It also lasts quite a while. I have tried black and purple and they are awesome
Winged Cat eye has never been so easy
I recently purchased this gel eye liner, and I have to say that I am in love!! It is so creamy and smooth! It is super easy for my to do a winged cat eye, The eye liner is bendable , super black and it lasted me all day. I would definitely repurchase and maybe in other colors too. I would probably get Dipdown, which is good for nice neutral look
To apply I use Sigma E05 brush, If your eyeliner smudges I recommend to set the eye liner with a black eye shadow especially if you have oily lids.
Extra ordinary cool color
The fluid lines from Mac has an easy-to-use formula, I could have been more liquid. Sadly it smudges a bit. The color I chose is glamour is and a bit ordinary. Love the colors!
Black track!
This a my favorite gel eyeliner I won't use any other! It lasts all day and is really dark! Usually under eye liner disappears fast, but this literally lasts all day; high pigmented too!
MAC Fluidline Gel Liner - Blacktrack
Wonderful Product! You can use this as a smooth line or smudge for a wonderful smokey eye. When you don't smudge it doesn't have that definite liquid liner look it can look like pencil depending on how you apply. It's staying power is great! I live in hot and humid Florida and this stays on all day w/out smudging, but it is not hard to remove when taking makeup off for the day. Make sure you close the jar tightly or it will dry up. In fact keep the top off for as short of a time period as you can. I apply this w/MAC 212 brush and smudge with MAC 219 pencil brush when I am creating a smokey eye. I don't use anything else now that Fluidline is sold. This has the the ability to look like pencil or liquid so no need for other products for me!
sadly this was a miss for me because everytime i would use it (even with primer) it had no long lasting effect on me. halfway throughout the day i noticed it would clump or i'd get fall out. my lids are a bit oily after awhile but i've tried better gel liners since this.
The best cream eyeliner out there. I rarely ever use cream eyeliners but on the odd day I will pull this one out! It's very very black and sets quickly. Very easy to apply and moderately long-wearing. I find that against my oily eyelids, a thick line will smudge, so I have to use a littl base or primer, but that's not a big deal. :)
This liner is great for your water line. But don't think you're set for an all nighter with this stuff...though it is long lasting and doesn't smudge it does tend to clump up into the corners of your eyes after a while, though a lot longer "while" than other gel formulas. I use this pretty much every day but do note that to get that "solid" black line you will probably have to go over it a few times since it is a cream/gel formula and can sheer out in spots during application. Also, if you're looking to do a wing tip look or a heavy line on the top of the eye and want that sleek precise look, go for MAC's liquidline instead it is much better and lasts MUCH longer because it is water-proof instead of being water-resistant like this product. The Liquidline is the only MAC eyeliner that is water PROOF.

America isn't a country, it's a business. Now fucking pay me," says Brad Pitt's Jackie Cogan, a mafia hit man in director Andrew Dominick's gritty, violent and exciting new film, Killing Them Softly. That line isn't just some clichéd mob truism, either. Dominick is quite clear about making the financial collapse of 2008 and the nature of Republican protectionism of the "job creators" -- rescuing a small group of powerful criminals with a taxpayer shakedown -- into a brutal mafia allegory that's about as subtle as a baseball bat to the skull. And it's pretty great.
Frankie (Argo's Scoot McNairy) and Russell (Ben Mendelsohn, so slimy you can practically smell him) are two small-time crooks tapped by a an old-school, Boston criminal, Johnny Amato (Vincent Curatola) to pull a heist on a mob-protected poker game run by Markie Trattman (Ray Liotta).
It's the kind of job that would normally be considered suicide -- but for Markie, who already heisted his own poker game once and was dumb enough to tell some friends about it. Everyone seems to like Markie, so it's let go. But if another of his games gets robbed, the line of logic goes, it will be assumed by the higher ups that Markie was behind it. He'll get killed while Johnny, Frankie, and Russell split the loot with no one being the wiser.
Of course, like all best laid plans, things go awry when the smacked-out Russell -- who used his cut to buy a kilo of heroin -- tells another partner (while on a dognapping endeavor) about the heist, unaware that said partner is friends with Jackie Cogan (Pitt).
Called in by the Driver (Richard Jenkins, typically great), Cogan realizes that even though Markie was set up, he, along with everyone else involved, has to die in order to maintain consumer confidence.
Adapted from the mid-'70s crime novel Cogan's Trade, Killing Them Softly is a vigorously adept and flat-out cool bit of filmmaking -- to the point of delicious indulgence. Adapted and directed by Dominick -- whose debut film, Chopper is still one of my favorites -- Killing Them Softly is a violent, profane, visual feast that captures that American New Wave essence, though amped on steroids when the bodies start to drop. Dominick has always had a distinct, sometimes trippy visual signature that nevertheless feels organic; never taking the audience out of the narrative -- almost in the same way Radiohead uses effects to widen their aural palette without ever going over-the-top, preserving the core composition.
His adaptation is wonderfully economical -- a strong story that feels like the middle act of a three-act play, or a novella. There's no fat at all, and the propulsive pace melds perfectly with the characters, who are perfectly realized by the cast.
Pitt is on his game here, the confident enforcer in the trenches who knows no fear, while McNairy and Mendelsohn bring great charisma, redefining the idea of likeable bad guys -- they're just fun and oddly easy to root for. James Gandolfini even pops up as another hit man, who Cogan realizes has devolved into a drunken liability, bringing some derelict Tony Soprano menace -- and also making for a nice True Romance reunion.
Killing Them Softly captures a tone that falls nicely in line with the likes of Richard Stark's Parker novels, Ted Lewis's Get Carter and another Stark crime tale Point Blank and the film adaptations that they begat. Pitt might be better looking than Michael Caine or Lee Marvin but he's cut from the same cloth -- and a great noir tradition.
Holy Motors
I have a rule: I don't read other people's reviews of a film that I'm going to write about until I write my own. Call it a fear of plagiarism. But, man, sometimes I wish I could let that go when I come across something like Holy Motors. Or at least, I wish I could have seen it with a group so we could argue about it afterward over coffee.
Genre-bending is certainly the name of the game as we follow Mr. Oscar (Denis Lavant) through his day, chauffeured by his assistant, Céline (Edith Scob) to various appointments in a huge stretch limo outfitted with a complete dressing room. The seeming actor has a full set of props, costumes and prosthetics that he employs for each stop -- though it's never clearly defined who is hiring him to do jobs that vary from donning a motion-capture suit to stage one of the weirder sex scenes ever put to film; dressing up like a demonic leprechaun -- literally rising from a graveyard -- to kidnap a supermodel (Eva Mendes) and eat her hair. Or when he becomes a Turkish hit man, killing a dude who looks just like him -- Mr. Oscar "dies" more than once. He finally finds himself in a musical tragedy as an old man who was in love with Kylie Minogue (playing multiple roles, as well) -- revealing that Mr. Oscar isn't the only employee of "The Agency" -- whatever that is.
Writer/director Leos Carax isn't interested in narrative realism at all, which is something of a boon for Holy Motors. If you're willing to let go of expectations and fall into the films elegant imagination then there is something rather thrilling about being at the mercy of Carax's strange, singularly French, vision -- which includes a rocking accordion band for a mid-film intermission, of course. It's a dream-like poetry of visual aesthetics, genre experimentation, deranged narrative sensibilities, and drug-induced surrealism that will either confound or exhilarate -- probably both. Your mileage may vary.
Regardless, Denis Lavant sports a compelling visage and an impressive boner in a performance that will make you wonder what the hell is wrong with Leos Carax. And the French.
Is it an unhinged fantasy that revels in its own self-referential art? Is it an absurdist comedy whose narrative train barrels through the cinematic townships of Stephen Soderbergh and the Davids Cronenberg and Lynch? Is it the self-indulgent work of a gauche film nerd who gives zero shits about who (if anyone) "gets it"? I'm still not sure. One thing I am sure of: Holy Motors is the weirdest movie of 2012.
The Sessions
Human beings are, first and foremost, sexual animals. Not in the truly animal sense -- we are, after all, sentient in a way most other animals are not. But we are still imbued with that inherent nature. We've just come up with vastly different criteria for getting laid. Are they cute, funny, ambitious, well-off, or possessed of a shared love of robots, gas masks, and Firefly? Are they just going to get drunk, screw and hopefully never meet again? We've made doing it simultaneously more and less complicated.
One thing that doesn't really change is physical aberration. In the human and animal kingdoms, the ugly, diseased and the obvious genetic dead-ends have a harder time getting some. That's evolution at work. Desperation is the only variable.
Based on the true story of a polio-stricken writer and poet, The Sessions tells the story of Mark O'Brien (an amazing John Hawkes, practically thanking the Academy already), who spends the majority of his time in an iron lung while he types out his work using a stylus clamped between his teeth -- his head being the only thing he can move.
Well, that, and his penis. Mark is pent up. While polio paralyzes, it does not deaden sensation and after 38 years of sponge baths he's desperate to do something besides pre-maturely ejaculate on his nurse (a fine Moon Bloodgood).
Being a pious man, after he learns of a sexual surrogate who specializes in bringing relief to the unfuckable (Helen Hunt) O'Brien consults a priest, Father Brendan (William H. Macy). Upon hearing of O'Brien's plight (and being Catholic), Brendan assures him that Jesus will give him a pass on the whole matrimony thing.
And that's what I love most about writer/director Ben Lewin's funny, human, and utterly heart-warming adaptation of O'Brien's plight. It's rare that films about sex find a balance between frankness and comfort. Generally, the point is prurience, transgressive kink, and/or fetishism that drown the subject in seriousness at best and inspire juvenile giggles at worst. Treating such a basic need with maturity, both O'Brien and Lewin bring a light-hearted mellowness to the idea of sex as a basic human right.
It wouldn't work without this cast, particularly the brave Hawkes and Hunt, who both share a sweet, playful chemistry that blooms into sincerity and candor. Hawkes, who has been stealing movies in supporting roles for years now, knocks it out of the park with an effortlessness that defies the physical demands of his role. Macy is yet another beating heart, imbuing the film with one of many genuine performances.
The Sessions is a rarity -- a film about sex and pathos that engenders the human spirit.

Andy Wachowski Movies
The bonds of brotherhood can forge great things, and in the case of
Andy Wachowski
, they have created a vision that has revolutionized the modern approach to sci-fi action cinema. Even if their ideas for individual stylistic and artistic flourishes may not be entirely original, their remarkable talent for combining the best of both the action and sci-fi universes with high-concept, nearly mythological storytelling has resulted in a film that has been imitated, emulated, and parodied arguably more than any other in genre history,
The Matrix
(1999). Born in Chicago to a businessman father and a mother who worked as a nurse and painter,
flexed their creative muscles early on with frequent meditations on current perceptions of reality and by attempting to conjure up new and original variations of those perceptions. After attending Bard College for two years and subsequently dropping out,
worked alongside his brother as a painter and carpenter while writing and taking in a steady diet of comic books, in addition to continuing his philosophical debates with his younger brother, who had likewise dropped out of Emerson College. Inspired by a book about legendary filmmaker
Roger Corman
insisted that his younger sibling read the book and the duo decided to test their storytelling skills in the form of screenplay writing. Penning a
-style yarn concerning cannibalism of the upper classes, the brothers found the Hollywood elite hesitant to embrace the disturbing screenplay, though frequent positive comments regarding its originality and creativity inspired the brothers to keep pursuing their cinematic endeavors. Re-approaching the same studios a short time later with a script for the film that would eventually become
(1995), the brothers found more disappointment when the film failed to ignite the box office and decided to take matters into their own hands. Serving as both writers and directors of the stylish neo-noir thriller
(1996) found the brothers recipients of more positive critical feedback, and the clever film developed a dedicated following when released on home video. On the heels of
's success, the brothers decided to return to a script that they had been developing for some years. Incorporating their frequent philosophical meditations on mythology and perceptions of reality in the internet age into a high-concept action screenplay that would utilize the most modern developments of special effects combined with thrilling martial arts, the brothers teamed with artists Geof Darrow and Steve Skrose to create an enticingly kinetic comic storyboard to pitch to Warner Bros. production head Lorenzo di Bonaventura and producer
Joel Silver
. The resulting product, with its intellectually highbrow mix of mysticism and mythology, Hong Kong-inspired action, and ultra-stylish cyber-noir visuals, broke box-office records and left fans thirsting for more, and it wasn't long before the brothers began work on two films that would complete the trilogy about humankind's struggle to reclaim its minds from an ominous and far-reaching conspiracy in which nothing is as it seems. After finishing up with the Matrix trilogy, the Wachowskis wrote and produced the graphic novel adaptation V for Vendetta, and in 2008 returned to the directors chairs to mount a visually splashy big-screen version of the cartoon series Speed Racer. In 2012, after his brother Larry completed sexual reassignment surgery and became Lana, the duo directed Cloud Atlas, a sweeping drama about how people's actions reverberate through history with an all star cast that included Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Susan Sarandon, and Hugh Grant. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

V for Vendetta director James McTeigue re-teams with that film's producers Larry and Andy Wachowski for this action-packed tale of a skilled assassin who was trained by a mythical secret society, and patiently awaits the day he will avenge the death of his best friend. Swept off the streets as a young boy, Raizo (Korean pop star Rain) is transformed into an unstoppable killing machine by a secret society known as the Ozunu Clan. The Ozunu Clan is so proficient at keeping their existence a secret that most people think they are only a myth, but the moment Ozuno assassins kill Raizo's friend, their days in the shadows are numbered. In the aftermath of that killing, Raizo stages a daring escape, subsequently biding his time until the day he can take the entire Ozunu Clan down.
Later, in Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) discovers a money trail connecting multiple political murders to a mysterious network of elusive assassins from the Far East. While her superior Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles) orders Mika to back down and stop asking questions, she stealthily begins searching through classified agency files on a relentless mission to discover the truth about the murders. Singled out as a target as a direct result of her investigation, Mika is marked for death by lethal Ozunu assassin Takeshi (Rick Yune). Just as Mika is about to be silenced forever, Raizo saves her from certain death. But Raizo knows that Takeshi and the rest of the Ozuno Clan won't stop until he and Mika are both dead. Now, as Raizo and Mika are hunted through the winding streets of Europe, their only hope for survival is to trust one another and stay alive long enough to bring the Ozunu empire crumbling to the ground. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Matrix masterminds Andy and Larry Wachowski usher anime icon Tatsuo Yoshida's classic 1960s-era hit into the new millennium with this family-friendly story of a young racecar driver who takes on the mysterious Racer X in a custom-made, gadget-loaded speed machine named the
Mach 5
. Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is the kind of driver that every wheelman wishes he could be: a born winner whose unbeatable combination of aggression, instinct, and fearlessness always finds him crossing the checkered flag with a comfortable lead. In Speed Racer's mind, the only driver who could present him with any real challenge is his late brother -- the legendary Rex Racer. Rex died in a heated cross-country rally known as The Crucible many years ago, and now his younger sibling is driven to fulfill the legacy that Rex left behind. To this day, Speed Racer is fiercely loyal to family. It was Speed Racer's father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), who designed the unbeatable
Mach 5
, and even a lucrative offer from racing giants Royalton Industries isn't enough to get the young ace to break his family ties.
Upon turning down Royalton's (Roger Allam) astronomical offer, Speed Racer makes the shocking discovery that the outcomes of the biggest races are being predetermined by a handful of powerful moguls who pad their profits by manipulating the drivers. Realizing that his career would be ruined if word of the fix gets out, Royalton vows that the
Mach 5
will never make it to another finish line. Now, the only way for Speed Racer to save the family business and beat Royalton at his own game will be to win the very same race that claimed his brother's life so many years ago. In order to accomplish that formidable feat, however, Speed Racer will not only have to rely on his family and the aid of his longtime girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), but form a tenuous alliance with his longtime rival -- the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox) -- as well. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

During a threatening run in with the secret police, an unassuming young woman named Evey (Natalie Portman) is rescued by a vigilante named V (Hugo Weaving) -- a caped figure both articulate and skilled in combat. V embodies the principles of rebellion from an authoritarian state, donning a mask of vilified would-be terrorist of British history Guy Fawkes and leading a revolution sparked by assassination and destruction. Evey becomes his unlikely ally, newly aware of the cruelty of her own society and her role in it. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

The Animatrix: The Second Renaissance, Part 2
Part 2 of the Second Renaissance segment of the Animatrix opens with the human UN launching a nuclear carpet-bombing on Zero One. The machines are relatively unaffected by the blast, retaliating by sending invading armies into human territories, triggering a full-on World War. Human forces are no match for the machines relentlessness, and in an act of desperation, military leaders call for Operation Dark Storm, releasing a sky darkening cloud of nanomachines into the air, blackening the sky and cutting the machines off from their primary power source. Dark Storm also disables most of the humans' long-range weapons however, and soon the machines phase out the humanoid forms that they had been using, and opt for the squid like Sentinels that appear in the Matrix films - polarizing the machine collective even further from the distant humanness that models based on the original designs of man once retained. The human forces soon become completely defenseless, forcing leaders to meet in New York to sign an armistice with the machines. The machine representative utters the words "Your flesh is a relic, a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh and a new world awaits you. We demand it," before detonating a nuclear bomb at the proceedings, killing all the world's remaining leaders and destroying the last remaining human city. Having achieved victory over the decimated Earth, the machines then begin utilizing the remaining humans as a power source, placing them in an unconscious dream state that becomes the first version of the Matrix. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

The Animatrix: The Second Renaissance, Part 1
Part of the Animatrix series of animated shorts set in the universe of the Wachowski brothers' The Matrix, Second Renaissance, Part 1 is the first of two pseudo-documentaries created by director Mahiro Maeda. Part of the archive in the city of Zion, the short presents the history of robots on Earth and their relationship to their human creators. At times an allegory for the contemporary civil rights struggles of the real world, Second Renaissance, Part 1 leads directly into Second Renaissance, Part 2 which details the events that led to the creation of the Matrix by the machines. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

The Animatrix: World Record
The World Record segment from the collection of animated shorts known as the Animatrix focuses on a track runner named Dan Davis, who is preparing for the 100 meter dash. Early on, it's clear that Dan has the kind of intuitive sensitivity that has been known to wake people from the Matrix, and he describes the ecstasy of extreme athleticism in terms that seem to mimic the detachment from his surrounding world often mentioned by those who've broken free from the Matrix. In the midst of the race, he begins to see visions that indicate he's "waking," and Agents begin to close in, while simultaneously, his muscles fail as his speed tops out. Innately aware that the pain isn't real, however, Dan is able to continue. As he rushes towards the finish line, the imposed reality of the Matrix seems to fail, leaving the singular question of whether he will win the greater race by awakening completely. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

The Animatrix: Kid's Story

Shot back-to-back with The Matrix Reloaded, the third and final installment of Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski's sci-fi action saga picks up where the second film left off. Neo (Keanu Reeves) remains unconscious in the real world, caught in a mysterious subway station that lies between the machine world and the Matrix, and Bane (Ian Bliss) is still a conduit for Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving), who continues to grow out of control, threatening to destroy both worlds. Meanwhile, as the sentinels get closer and closer to Zion, the citizens of the earth's last inhabited city prepare for the inevitable onslaught. By bargaining with The Merovingian (Lambert Wilson), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) are able to free Neo who, after meeting with The Oracle (Mary Alice stepping in for the late Gloria Foster), decides that he must leave Zion and head for the machine mainframe. As Neo and Trinity venture into the dangerous machine world, with hopes of stopping both the machines and Agent Smith, their comrades in Zion attempt to fight off the attacking sentinels with the odds stacked greatly against them. Other cast members returning include Monica Bellucci, Ngai Sing, and Harold Perrineau Jr. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Raising the anticipation level for the two Matrix sequels, the Wachowski brothers opened up the franchise to a handful of animators. The project resulted in nine animated shorts that present stories related tangentially to the feature films. World Record features a track star who gets a brief glimpse of life outside the Matrix; A Detective Story chronicles an old-fashioned private eye's attempts to track down the mysterious Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss); Beyond finds a young woman exploring a strange abandoned building; Final Flight of the Osiris includes events that occur just before those in The Matrix Reloaded; Kid's Story follows a teenage boy as he attempts to break out of the Matrix; Matriculated shows a group of humans trying to reprogram a sentient robot; Program features a battle within a simulated samurai fight-training program; and The Second Renaissance Part 1 and The Second Renaissance Part 2 are pseudo-documentaries that reveal how the machines came to take control of the Earth. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

After creating an international sensation with the visually dazzling and intellectually challenging sci-fi blockbuster The Matrix, the Wachowski brothers returned with the first of two projected sequels that pick up where the first film left off. Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) have been summoned by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) to join him on a voyage to Zion, the last outpost of free human beings on Earth. Neo and Trinity's work together has been complicated by the fact the two are involved in a serious romantic relationship. Upon their arrival in Zion, Morpheus locks horns with rival Commander Lock (Harry J. Lennix) and encounters his old flame Niobe (Jada Pinkett Smith). Meanwhile, Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) has returned with some surprises for Neo, most notably the ability to replicate himself as many times as he pleases. Neo makes his way to The Oracle (Gloria Foster), who informs him that if he wishes to save humankind, he must unlock "The Source," which means having to release The Key Maker (Randall Duk Kim) from the clutches of Merovingian (Lambert Wilson). While Merovingian refuses to cooperate, his wife, Persephone (Monica Bellucci), angry at her husband's dalliances with other women, offers to help, but only in exchange for a taste of Neo's affections. With The Keymaker in tow, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus are chased by Merovingian's henchmen: a pair of deadly albino twins (Neil Rayment and Adrian Rayment). Filmed primarily in Australia and California (the extended chase scene was shot on a stretch of highway build specifically for the production outside of San Francisco), The Matrix Reloaded was produced in tandem with the third film in the series, The Matrix Revolutions. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

What if virtual reality wasn't just for fun, but was being used to imprison you? That's the dilemma that faces mild-mannered computer jockey Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) in The Matrix. It's the year 1999, and Anderson (hacker alias: Neo) works in a cubicle, manning a computer and doing a little hacking on the side. It's through this latter activity that Thomas makes the acquaintance of Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), who has some interesting news for Mr. Anderson -- none of what's going on around him is real. The year is actually closer to 2199, and it seems Thomas, like most people, is a victim of The Matrix, a massive artificial intelligence system that has tapped into people's minds and created the illusion of a real world, while using their brains and bodies for energy, tossing them away like spent batteries when they're through. Morpheus, however, is convinced Neo is "The One" who can crack open The Matrix and bring his people to both physical and psychological freedom. The Matrix is the second feature film from the sibling writer/director team of Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski, who made an impressive debut with the stylish erotic crime thriller Bound. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Countryside Council for Wales Landscape & wildlife Please note - A new body, Natural Resources Wales has taken over all functions and services previously carried out by Countryside Council for Wales. While the Natural Resources Wales website continues to be developed, some online services will continue to be provided on this web site.
The Welsh portion of the sea around its coasts is equal in area to that of its land, and supports a huge array of different species and habitats.
As our knowledge of the sea and its wildlife improves, there is more and more focus on conserving its most important features.
CCW's ambition is to raise awareness of the importance of our seas, and to make sure that the variety of wildlife that exists around Wales now is there for future generations.
CCW collects information about wildlife in Welsh waters, so that we know what is where and when, and how sensitive different habitats and species are to the various activities that take place in the sea around Wales.
Collecting information is more difficult at sea than in other areas, with a need for Scuba divers and special equipment, but CCW has a large monitoring programme that helps us to see how things are changing and to understand why.
This information helps us to manage the sea and coast, to make sure that the effects of any activities can be kept as small as possible.
We work closely with marine industries, and with the Welsh Assembly Government, to ensure that appropriate management frameworks and policies are put in place to secure the future of Wales' coasts and seas.

WASHINGTON (March 12, 2004) -— The Face: Jesus in Art, a two-hour documentary that traces the dramatically different ways in which Jesus has been represented in art by people throughout history and around the world, will be redistributed by American Public Television to public TV stations for broadcast during April.
The program, produced by Thirteen/WNET New York and Voyager Productions, Ltd., in conjunction with the Catholic Communication Campaign, demonstrates that Jesus Christ stands as one of the most pivotal individuals in all of history and has had the greatest influence on global art and culture during the last 2000 years. For centuries, the most important artists painted and sculpted images of Jesus, and their work has had an immeasurable influence on the world's art, even until today.
The Face provides a travelogue of art and monuments from the early 3rd century to the present, as it takes viewers from ancient Rome to 20th-century America, from Europe to the Middle East, to illuminate the most beautiful and spectacular representations of Jesus and his stories.
In its global exploration of stunning and incredibly varied representations of Jesus, The Face takes audiences up to the works of Michelangelo and reconstructs the revered Mandylion of Edessa; it explores the treasures of the Chartres Cathedral and journeys across the Sinai desert to glimpse the Byzantine icons of St. Catherine's monastery. Viewers of this program will visit St. John of Lateran, where pilgrims climb the stairs on their knees, and they will descend deep into the catacombs beneath Rome to see the earliest images of Jesus, captured by the light of lanterns and candles.
Amazing digital morphing sequences dramatically illustrate how the image of Jesus has changed over time. Advanced photographic and lighting techniques capture the beauty of the treasures filmed with an archival level of detail and quality. Backed by a team of over a dozen world-renowned art historians, who have helped select images and illuminate the stories behind them, The Face offers not only stunning images but rigorous scholarship as well. The program is narrated by renowned actors Edward Herrmann, Juliet Mills, Mel Gibson, Ricardo Montalban and other notable individuals reading selected passages.
The Face: Jesus in Art was produced with major funding from the Catholic Communication Campaign of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

We all remember the famous scene. "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope!" A flickery hologram of Princess Leia pleaded with the old Jedi on the planet Tatooine to come and rescue her, having hidden a secret message inside R2D2. While 3D hologram technology like Leia's message in Star Wars has always been confined to the realms of science fiction, it may soon be making the leap from a galaxy far, far away, straight into your living room, thanks to Burton Inc.
Bringing Star Wars to life
The Japan based technology firm have developed a system capable of creating real 3D images in thin air, without using screens. This technology could pave the way for full 3D video calls, where a 3D hologram of the person would appear right in front of you, as if they are in the room.
Working in association with The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and Keio University, Burton have created Aerial 3D, a technology that uses lasers to project three-dimensional moving images in air or water, as an AIST spokesperson explains, "the device we have developed utilizes the plasma emission phenomenon near the focal point of focused laser light."
Laser tech
While other 3D technologies rely on screens and glasses, Aerial 3D uses lasers to project onto the air in front of you, creating moving shapes that are really three dimensional. The powerful lasers are focused onto points in the air, which superheats the air to create plasma, which emits light so that we can see it in front of us, meaning no more screens.
3D viewing has been the dream of film-makers and the viewing public alike since the arrival of motion pictures around the dawn of the 20th century. There have been various attempts at 3D films across the years, but all of these have been based on stereoscopy – providing slightly offset images to the left and the right eye to create the illusion of depth.
"Most current 3D devices project pictures onto a 2D screen, and make the pictures 3D through an optical illusion. But this device actually shows images in mid-air, so a feature of this system is that it enables 3D objects to be viewed naturally," says Hayato Watanabe, engineer at Burton.
Currently the frame rate is 10-15 per second, but Burton have plans to increase this to 24-30 per second, the same rate as films and television, making it appear completely smooth to the human eye. They also say that a colour display could be achieved using a combination of red, green and blue lasers.
The future for "Aerial 3D"
Burton have said its possible uses include digital signs in the air, as well as analysing 3D objects, but clearly the applications are much more far reaching, especially in combination with 3D image capture technology such as Kinect, which can also be used for gestural manipulation of 3D objects, just to check something over before printing it in 3D for example. Imagine this in the hands of David Attenborough, enabling 3D models of the tiniest to the most massive life forms on earth, available for exploration by the home viewer.
The technology is in its early stages, and it may be a long time before we have 3D films and holograms in our living rooms. However, even at this early stage it is obvious this technology could revolutionise communication and entertainment, with the ability to have a fully immersive filmic experience, or a video game that literally takes place all around you.
This is the first attempt at a truly 3D display with no screens, no wires, and no glasses. It makes those flickery holograms from Star Wars that seemed so far in the future a reality – the force is strong with this one.
