Stories of Lives Impacted By KLRC
Sharathon 2012: Four Ways to Get Involved
Sharathon 2012 is right around the corner! As a listener supported radio station, 101.1 KLRC relies on people like you to keep us on-the-air and serving the NWA community. That's why we're asking you to get involved and help us make this year's Sharathon a huge success!
First off...what is Sharathon? Sharathon is our annual fundraising event. The vast majority of our operating budget comes from donations from generous listeners. Each spring, we spend a few days raising that support during Sharathon. This event is incredibly important to us, because raising enough funding during Sharathon is how we keep the lights on and the music playing for the rest of the year.
What many people might not realize is how much work goes into Sharathon before the event even begins! To ensure this year's Sharathon is successful, we're asking you to get involved in whatever ways you can! We've laid out four basic needs that we have below.
Check out each category, and see which ones might be a great fit for you -- who knows, maybe you can even help out in all four areas!
Sharing is pretty important to Sharathon 2012. After all, that's what the event is named after! This year in particular, there are several very specific ways that you can contribute to Sharathon through sharing.
First off, we want you to share your stories with us, because stories are powerful things! We want to tell our listeners about the impact the station is making. Second, we want to be able to share with you through e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, and on-the-air. Finally, we want you to be able to share KLRC with your friends and neighbors.
Here at KLRC, we believe in the power of prayer. Even more, we're well aware that we don't have the ability or the manpower to pull off an event like Sharathon through human means alone.
We want to absolutely cover Sharathon 2012 in prayer, and what better way to do that than through our amazing listeners? We have two excellent ways for you to pray for KLRC during Sharathon 2012. You can serve on our Prayer eTeam and get regular prayer updates before and during the event -- right in your e-mail inbox! We're also looking for some dedicated prayer warriors who would come to pray on-site at the KLRC studios during Sharathon itself. Our goal is to have at least one person praying during every hour!
Each year, Sharathon is made possible by a group of volunteers willing to answer phones, record pledges, enter data, coordinate meals, greet people, train other volunteers, and more!
If you're interested in serving during Sharathon 2012, we'd love to have you! Volunteer sign-ups are done in two-hour shifts, starting at 6am and ending at 6pm each day (6am-9am on Friday). Breakfast and lunch will be provided if you sign up to work during meal times.
Sharathon is a fundraising event, and the donations that come in for the event help us do what we do all year long. We simply couldn't afford to run a radio station without the generous gifts of listeners like yourself. \
A little known fact about Sharathon is that we raise a large portion of our overall funding before the on-air portion of the event even begins! This year, in order to be fully funded by the end of the event, we need to have 50% of our goal raised before the first on-air day of Sharathon.
That means pre-Sharathon gifts are incredibly important to our success. When you give during Pre-Sharathon, you help us start strong. You encourage others to give. Most importantly, you help us share hope.

Coordinate and color limits for volume data
lims = volumebounds(X,Y,Z,V)
lims = volumebounds(X,Y,Z,U,V,W)
lims = volumebounds(V), lims = volumebounds(U,V,W)
lims = volumebounds(X,Y,Z,V) returns the x, y, z, and color limits of the current axes for scalar data. lims is returned as a vector:
[xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax cmin cmax]
You can pass this vector to the axis command.
lims = volumebounds(X,Y,Z,U,V,W) returns the x, y, and z limits of the current axes for vector data. lims is returned as a vector:
[xmin xmax ymin ymax zmin zmax]
lims = volumebounds(V), lims = volumebounds(U,V,W) assumes X, Y, and Z are determined by the expression
[X Y Z] = meshgrid(1:n,1:m,1:p)
where [m n p] = size(V).
This example uses volumebounds to set the axis and color limits for an isosurface generated by the flow function.
[x y z v] = flow; p = patch(isosurface(x,y,z,v,-3)); isonormals(x,y,z,v,p) daspect([1 1 1]) isocolors(x,y,z,flipdim(v,2),p) shading interp axis(volumebounds(x,y,z,v)) view(3) camlight lighting phong

When I need to provision a new Windows desktop for myself, there are certain tools I inevitably turn to first. Here's a look at the first five tools I install on new Windows systems. (I'm not going to cover things like Microsoft Office, which are generally a given.)
Note: If you'd prefer to view this information as a blog post, check out this entry in our Five Apps blog.

ISO image mounter/Virtual optical drive (Daemon Tools)
Given the amount of software testing I do, I download software all the time. A lot of what I need comes in the form of ISO files. So one of the first tools I install on my new Windows systems is an ISO image mounter called Daemon Tools Lite. Although Daemon Tools can do a bunch of other stuff, I use it just to mount ISO images on virtual CD/DVD drives that the software creates. This allows me to load an ISO as if I were inserting a disc into a CD drive.
ISO image mounter/Virtual optical drive (Daemon Tools)
Daemon Tools installs itself to the system tray and provides a shortcut menu that allows you to manage the virtual media that's mounted on the managed virtual optical drives. Here's what the Daemon Tools interface looks like.
Antivirus (Microsoft Security Essentials)
In a recent article, I wrote about the latest beta for Microsoft Security Essentials. I've been a big fan of MSE for quite a while. It's free, it's lightweight, and it gets the job done at the right price.
Screen capture tool (HyperSnap)
You may know that I tend to write. A lot. And much of my work includes screenshots. For a number of years, I've been using a tool called HyperSnap from a company called Hyperionics. Over the years, HyperSnap has been improved, but it's always been a robust screen capture app.
Screen capture tool (HyperSnap)
Up until version 7, which came out recently, I've had nothing but great things to say about each new release of the product. Version 7, however, feels like a small step backward to me. It's still a great tool, but some of the ease of use has gone away. Older versions made it really easy to, for example, cut a vertical or horizontal strip out of a captured image. But version 7 has rearranged the interface and "hidden" some of the great stuff under layers.
But I'm still a huge fan of the product, and as long as they keep making it, I'll keep upgrading!
Blogging tool (Windows Live Writer)
Again… I write a lot and I use a variety of tools to do so. I do a lot of my work in Word, but I also publish a lot of items directly to Wordpress-based blogs. I can use Word for that as well, but I actually like Microsoft's free Windows Live Writer tool much better. It does an admirable job of getting formatting right and dealing with images, so I can focus on creating content. Setting up Writer is really easy, too. Simply point it at your blog and provide credentials and Writer does the rest of the setup.
Hypervisor (VMware Workstation)
I test everything under the sun. I have a great lab set up that runs Hyper-V, but I also use VMware Workstation on my desktop. The primary reason I moved to Workstation 8 was because of its ability to pass VT/AMD-v hardware virtualization extensions through to virtual machines. This makes it possible to test in a virtual environment software that depends on these extensions being present.
I've been a Workstation user from the very beginning. I've tried everything else as well, including VirtualBox and Virtual PC, but I've always returned to Workstation. It's extremely feature rich and, while it's not free like the others, the features have outweighed the cost.
Five good apps to kick off a new Windows desktop

GREEN CITY, MO -- Meet 17-year-old Joey Hepler of Green City. Agriculture has played a major role in his life since he was a kid growing up on his family farm. With both his mom and dad having strong backgrounds in agriculture, it was Joey's dad and grandfather that took him under their wings.
"I've learned a lot from being around my dad and my grandpa Jack. Everything I know and know how to do has come from both of them," Hepler said.
Joey is an all out farm boy working on his dad and neighbor's farms raising and taking care of cattle. Joey says cattle are easier and friendlier to work with. But it requires Joey to put in a lot of time and responsibility.
"You always got to make sure they have water. It's very crucial because if they have no access to water, they can over heat and become a big problem," Hepler said. "You also have to make sure that they have grass, feed, hay, grain, and minerals to eat."
Joey has also had the chance to witness some funny moments while working with cattle.
"We were working in the barn getting cattle in. There was a calf running around. My dad got behind it and it kicked him. I was laughing," Hepler said.
Joey says agriculture has helped him grow and mature as a person in so many ways and wants to spread the importance of the field for future generations.
"By 2050, there's going to be an estimated 9 billion people on earth," Hepler said. "It's crucial for my generation and younger people to feed that many people so we have to step up and take on the task." When not helping out with cows on the farm, Joey likes to spend his free time playing basketball and enjoy going out on the boat. He is preparing now to be the President for the area's FFA chapter this upcoming school year. He plans to go to the University of Missouri for college to continue his agricultural studies.
Congratulations Joey on being this week's Ag Kid.

Liam Ward: running the Greater Manchester Marathon in our VIVOBAREFOOT Shoes
March 12th 2012 by Jamie Page"When it came to my first training run, I realised I didn't have any running shoes…I decided to give it a go in my barefoot shoes, and it's just stuck".
Liam Ward is preparing to run the Greater Manchester Marathon this Spring in our VIVOBAREFOOT Aqua. The Aqua was one of our first barefoot shoes designed to allow the feet to move as if barefoot, with no ankle support and only a thin puncture-resistant sole for protection.
Liam, works as a care assistant in Manchester, but on 29th April he will be donning his shorts and – crucially – his barefoot shoes and running 26.2 miles in the Greater Manchester Marathon to raise money for The Stroke Association.
Liam's dad, Stephen, had a severe stroke at the age of 48, which left him without the use of his right side, and needing daily care, until his death at the age of 52.
"My sisters and I were still at school when dad had the stroke…We didn't know anything about stroke or what it would mean for us day-to-day."
"The Stroke Association provided us with amazing support and advice at a really tough time for us. They also fund pioneering research into stroke prevention, so hopefully others won't have to go through what we did".
"I ran a half-marathon for the charity in 2009, but this time it's twice the distance and twice the pain. And of course, this time I'm running barefoot-style. The first time I tried running with the new technique, I couldn't walk for a week after."
As well as being part of a local Sunday league team, Liam plays harmonica in a blues band, and is hoping to put together a fundraising gig to help him on his way to that £1,000 target.
"I'm sure the lads at football and in the band will chip in if they have any spare cash after all the beer," said Liam. "Every penny counts, and means that The Stroke Association can continue providing much-needed support and funding innovative research".
You can sponsor Liam by visiting his online fundraising page on www.justgiving.com/Liam-Ward –Where supporters are UK taxpayers, the charity will automatically receive 28% extra in Gift Aid.

And hello again from fox and is in Washington.
American women in the military have served on the front lines for years and 152.
Have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But when Defense Secretary Panetta lifted the ban on women in combat his decision this week drew strong -- and sharp criticism.
We are brought together two distinguished veterans to discuss the issue.
Colonel Martha makes -- was our nation's first female combat pilot -- 325.
Hours in the skies over Iraq and Afghanistan.
And she joins us from Tucson.
Lieutenant general Jerry Boykin was one of the original members of the army's delta force and former head of the US special forces command colonel general welcome.
The fox has on at seven looking forward to this discussion.
Thank you very much -- so I -- has done right here is how Defense Secretary Panetta explained his decision this week -- Not everyone.
He's going to be able to be a combat soldier.
But everyone.
Is entitled to a chance.
General way can you dismiss this as another case of the Pentagon -- the military for a social experiment.
I'd like you to tell colonel been mixed Sally directly knowing of her background look at the back camera and teller why she is unfit to serve and come.
Well Kristi you're native frame this thing correctly it's not an issue of women in combat.
Women are -- combat already and have been since 9/11 in fact prior to that.
And colonel -- Sally is a great example of how women can be used effectively in combat my issue here is.
Mixing the genders in infantry units armor units and special forces units.
Is not a positive there are many detractors there which puts a burden on the small unit combat leaders.
And actually creates an environment because of their living conditions that is -- conducive to reference.
With colonel -- Sally did and those are the two basic arguments your your I combat pilot but you're not allowed a -- a -- you're not on in combat on the front lines.
You are attached to combat units and and the two arguments are one.
Physical limitations particularly disturbing in the infantry and also this question of a distraction.
During operations when you're in close quarter as there is no privacy and their very rugged living conditions look in your camera.
And tell general like and why is wrong.
Well let me just say that I realize that flying combat aircraft and being -- -- -- combat are two very different missions.
-- -- -- -- Flawed arguments were used against.
Allowing women the flying combat and now allowing women to be -- -- -- like they're important -- has said.
These are flawed arguments and the bottom line is we need to treat people like individuals.
What are the capabilities they bring to the fight which includes physical strength.
Plus courage plus -- continued.
Plus leadership and all the other things we need to have the most effective fighting force.
So -- -- a country that set standards and that allows people to complete it compete as individuals.
And if they bring -- the better soldier to the fight than women should be able to compete on equal grounds I'm not talking about change -- standards.
I'm talking about allowing people to be considered for what they bring -- a fight.
Well -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- says -- -- -- -- -- -- follow -- -- -- because of the marine -- infantry officer -- offered last September.
Course training and two women took part in it and they both dropped out and they said carrying those seventy pound backpacks and infantry.
On the ground is just too -- women are you confident.
That women can -- the same physical standards for ground combat.
That meant it.
Look we know the bell curve of men is stronger than the bell curve of women but they overlap.
And so the current policy basically says that no women can meet the standard and therefore all man can so that's like saying general Boykin.
-- Herman is located in combat but Serena and Venus Williams are not gonna meet the standard the bottom line is we treat people like individuals.
Physical strength is one element of needing to -- -- ground combat.
But all those other qualities I mentioned -- aptitude and courage and discipline and leadership.
Are also web -- women bring to the fight the penny had estimated a few years ago that 75%.
Of seventeen to 24 year old -- not even qualified to be in the military.
So we're recruiting from only 25% of the population.
15% of them -- a college.
So we need to recruit from a 100% of the population.
In order to make sure we have the most effective fighting -- Let me bring more general.
Boy can end here I'm about to -- -- like -- analogy.
The Williams sisters vs Peewee Herman.
And I also would point out that -- -- -- -- competed in the Iron Man triathlon the military division men and women -- -- -- She won so so what does that -- emanated clearly some women can meet the standard well first evolves.
Some warming can meet the standard.
I think there will be few but some -- that's not the issue that I raised initially.
What -- raised -- the issue of mixing the genders in those combat units where there is.
No privacy where there -- out on extended.
And there's no opportunity for people to have any privacy whatsoever.
Now -- a man who has been there and a man who has some experience in those kinds of units.
I certainly don't wanna be in that environment with a female because it's it's degrading and humiliating enough to do your personal hygiene than the other normal functions.
Among your teammates.
That -- let me ask.
Colonel -- -- to respond about.
Again right now we're in a 360 degree battlefield and women or men are serving together out there in combat.
Privacy is a red Herring I mean you can figure out the privacy issue as long as you have the most capable qualified force that should be no reason.
For these exclusionary policies some of our closest allies -- -- figured this out for many years.
Canada is the best example.
We have -- women fully integrated into their combat forces.
They have taken serious casualties in Afghanistan women are out there.
On the front lines leading men in combat and doing a fantastic job of it so this privacy issue our men and women being next to each other.
It's it's the same issue we've seen which is -- a myth really and it is not a showstopper.
In the history of the most capable qualified fighting force.
Not -- the sort of edges into the next -- wanted to get into which is the issue of sexual assault the big Department of Veterans Affairs Dennis Dodd a and they found that 42.
Point 8% almost a quarter of military women deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Reported they were sexually assaulted but.
General Boykin the chairman of the joint chiefs general Dempsey said this week he felt that the ban on women in the military actually contributed to those assaults take a look at what -- When you have one part of the population that is designated as warriors in another part -- designated as something else.
I think that disparity.
Begins -- establish a psychology that in some cases led to that environment.
-- is general -- wrong.
Well I don't I don't agree with general potentially on this issue and first of all we -- -- recognizes that's bad people doing bad things but it is it it happens all over.
I'd also like to go by -- you colonel -- salaries last comment.
There's a big difference and flying a combat mission going back to a hangar where their facilities and being on a thirty day operation where you're.
In very close quarters with your teammates and and so.
This is not as specious argument and I can tell you that having been there this is something that -- -- considered but also consider Chris workers Cisco.
Do we draft women.
Do we released him from the service for pregnancy.
-- -- -- what is it ultimately go there in combat and they should be income bad and we should find opportunities.
Just like with colonel -- -- for them to serve in combat.
I'm talking about infantry armor special forces of -- of units where I object.
We're we're we're gonna get to the issued the draft phonetic has some very legitimate issue a lot of people of rays that kernel that Sally.
Does -- did this kind of second class status I don't mean to call your second class but the idea that that women are not allowed -- to some combat roles.
That is general Dempsey sad -- warriors are women are.
Something else you think that has contributed to the environment in which sexual assault happens.
Absolutely I mean when you have an environment where women are treated as sort of second class warriors they can you know do almost everything but not quite.
The elite -- not out there doing what really.
You know brings about promotions and leadership positions and really what matters in the military the most.
You create this subconscious.
Feeling that you know women are are are are not quite equal with the men and so that adds to our problem of sexual harassment.
And sexual assault sexual -- certainly very complex issue.
With a really need to address it obviously is find those were the criminals and make sure -- and out of the military you don't avoid the issue by.
Keeping women out of those units because of those -- -- -- an assault civilians and others that come into contact to cook so this change I agree with general Dempsey is actually necessary.
And that and the restrictions in the past have actually added to the problem.
Colonel makes ally let that general -- brought up the idea of the drop that a lot of people -- the real wit.
And in fact the Supreme Court said the reason that women should not be subjected to the drought is because they are not.
-- got ready.
If you're going to lift us Canada has now been left dead and if we should have to go back to the draft and a military emergency should women take their place -- men in the draft.
Well I -- some really Smart people who would argue that maybe we shouldn't even be having a Selective Service System in the first place but given the fact that we do.
And that we have -- -- Citizenship with the obligation to be ready to defend the country in whatever capacity needed in an emergency.
Equal it -- equal so I do believe that men and women.
At age eighteen should be registering because of the country needs you they want need you for all the capabilities.
In the military combat not combat and all the specialties and so I have no problem with.
If we're tying citizen obligation.
To the readiness to defend that goes across the board.
So general -- is not okay with you if we're gonna have this -- and now it is -- a matter of fact that the ban on women in combat ground combat has been lifted.
Women in the draft well I think you have no option I think you'll have to have women register was selective service and obviously.
The eligible for the draft I don't think you can do and any other way and you have a problem about.
Well I certainly don't want my daughter's registering for the draft and I'd like for them to have more of a choice than than a man would have been a national crisis.
I I just wanted to -- and this with one its final statistic aunt and colonel metallic kind of brought this stop talking about the fact that that of the women are not in combat roles has hurt their representation their ability to rise through the ranks.
Women in the army.
Generals that at is point.
Mean doesn't the practical effect of not allowing women to serve on the ground in combat hurt their ability to rise to the -- general to become a general.
Yourself well I -- -- -- and I think it does screws I think it clearly does but keep in mind the mission of the military is to fight and win wars.
Every decision is made today should be made.
In the interest of military readiness.
And while I -- again I say women are in combat and women need to be given.
Opportunities to serve another combat roles I'm no longer against that there was a time when I -- But I also think that we have to consider the second and third order -- and we have to look at this whole -- quickly.
And thirty seconds -- -- Sally what do you -- -- side.
Sure this really isn't about rising to leadership this is about military effectiveness the 230000.
Positions that were previously closed.
Only a fraction of them are special forces and infantry.
The rest are a whole variety of other jobs that have been closed to women if we want the most effective fighting force.
We need to pick the most qualified capable man for the job even if it's a woman this is about military effectiveness and allowing us to recruit.
The most capable and qualified forced.
Colonel -- -- -- general black and I want to thank you both thank you so much for coming in today and thank you.
Both of you for your service to -- -- thank here.

Chicago Athenaeum Names Good Design Winners
Two lighting products designed by Yves Béhar—the Twist LED task light and the Ardea personal light—were on the winners' list of the 2009 Good Design awards, sponsored by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Founded in 1950 by Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., the Good Design award criteria are based on function and aesthetics, with a contemporary emphasis for environmental concerns and green design. Categories include: electronics, medical equipment, transportation, furniture, textiles, energy systems, kitchen/appliances, floor covering, household products, and lighting.
Despite the economic downturn, the 2009 Good Design program was "the strongest program ever with the largest-ever amount of corporate participation and the best and most substantial design awarded," according to Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine, president of the Chicago Athenaeum and curator of the awards.

26 April 2012
Elite cyclists from across the world will speed through the streets of the Caerphilly county borough once again this year as details of the route for the 2012 Tour of Britain are announced today (Thursday 26th April).
"We are delighted that this prestigious international sporting event is coming back to the Caerphilly county borough in September," said CCBC Chief Executive Anthony O'Sullivan. "We hope to repeat the success of last year's race when residents turned out in their thousands to support the cyclists along the route."
The competitors enter the county borough near Nelson and speed down to the finishing line in Caerphilly town centre. Caerphilly Mountain is a key challenge in the final stages of the leg as the cyclists endure TWO steep climbs to the top before racing down to the finish line in the shadow of the magnificent castle.
"The exciting finale in Caerphilly was a major highlight of the whole Tour last year and helped showcase the fantastic attractions here in the county borough. This announcement closely follows the recent news that Caerphilly will also host the BBC Proms in the Park this year, so we have lots to celebrate at the moment," he added.
The Tour of Britain takes place across the UK between the 9th and 16th September. The Caerphilly stage of the event will take place on Friday 14th September and will see the cyclists race down the length of Wales from Welshpool to Caerphilly.
Stage 1: Sunday 9th September - Ipswich to Norfolk ShowgroundStage 2: Monday 10th September - Nottingham to KnowsleyStage 3: Tuesday11th September - Jedburgh to DumfriesStage 4: Wednesday 12th September - Carlisle to BlackpoolStage 5: Thursday 13th September - The Stoke-on-Trent StageStage 6: Friday 14th September - Welshpool to CaerphillyStage 7: Saturday 15th September - Barnstaple to DartmouthStage 8: Sunday 16th September - Reigate to Guildford

North Korea says South Korea, Japan, Guam and the U.S. mainland are within range of its missiles.
An unidentified spokesman at the North's powerful National Defense Commission issued the statement Tuesday in response to South Korea's recent announcement that the U.S. agreed to let it have longer-range missiles capable of hitting all of North Korea.
It's unusual for North Korea to say its missiles are capable of striking the U.S., but the country has regularly issued harsh rhetoric against Seoul and Washington.
Seoul-based analyst Koh Yu-hwan says the North had no choice but to respond to South Korea's extended missile range but it won't likely launch a provocation.
The North Korean spokesman said South Korea's extended missile range shows the allies are plotting to "ignite a war" against the North.

Maniac [Blu-Ray]
Director : William Lustig
Screenplay : C.A. Rosenberg and Joe Spinell (story by Joe Spinell)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 1980
Stars : Joe Spinell (Frank Zito), Caroline Munro (Anna D'Antoni), Gail Lawrence (Rita), Kelly Piper (Nurse), Rita Montone (Hooker), Tom Savini (Disco boy), Hyla Marrow (Disco girl), James Brewster (Beach boy), Linda Lee Walter (Beach girl), Tracie Evans (Street hooker), Sharon Mitchell (Nurse #2), Carol Henry (Deadbeat), Nelia Bacmeister (Carmen Zito), Louis Jawitz (Art director), Denise Spagnuolo (Denise), Billy Spagnuolo (Billy)
William Lustig's Maniac is as grisly and relentlessly single-minded as its title would suggest. An independently produced, low-budget guerilla cheapie destined for the grindhouses on 42nd Street, it stirred up a tornado of controversy wherever it went (starting with the Cannes Film Festival), not because it was anything particularly unique, but because it encapsulated so neatly and with such raw, uncompromised power the disturbing new trend in graphic horror violence--what some had termed "the new pornography"--that was decried by feminists as genuinely dangerous misogyny and by most everyone else as just plain sick. Of course, there was a large contingent of moviegoers in the early 1980s (as there are now) who were more than happy to turn Maniac into a substantial box-office hit, and its notoriety and immediately iconic poster image of a faceless man clutching a bloody knife in one hand and a recently removed scalp in the other all but ensured a long life on the emerging home video scene.
Now that three decades have passed since Maniac first challenged the limits of what a horror film could show, we can see it more clearly for what it is: A film that is too good to be dismissed as simple exploitation, but also too inept in too many ways to be taken seriously. Unlike so many gory horror films of its era, Maniac makes no pretenses toward humor or self-reflexivity; it lacks the EC Comics-inspired irony of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978), the folkloric chills of John Carpenter's Halloween (1978), and even the silly, campfire gotcha of Sean S. Cunningham's Friday the 13th (1980), all of which were major hits among both horror fans and mainstream audiences. Maniac eschewes such comforts, relying instead on a tone that is insistently grim and dour, its grainy 16mm images bathed in grime and colors that suggested nothing so much as looking out from inside bruised skin. It is a truly claustrophobic movie, and in that regard it must be afforded a certain level of respect if only for its unnerving effectiveness. On the other hand, there are parts of the film that are amateurish, and much of its plotting is almost embarrassingly clumsy and sometimes downright nonsensical, even as it makes genuine stabs at putting us inside the mind of a serial killer. Its visceral impact is undeniable, but it lacks the kind of thematic rigor that would make its approach actually work. It is too grim to be fun, but too flawed to be truly appreciated.
The film was the brainchild of Joe Spinell, a hard-boiled Italian-American character actor who had found success throughout the 1970s playing bit parts as heavies and hitmen in films like The Godfather (1972) and Rocky (1976). The screenplay, which he cowrote with C.A. Rosenberg, is a grab-bag mess of competently staged stalk-and-slash sequences that make generous use of make-up effects artist Tom Savini's gift for realistically maiming the human body, whether by garret or knife or shotgun; intensely creepy sequences of Spinell's character, a New York serial killer named Frank Zito, evincing his madness in the cluttered one-room apartment he shares with a series of mannequins adorned with the scalps of his victims; and a ludicrous subplot in which Frank becomes involved romantically with Anna (Caroline Munro), a beautiful fashion photographer who in real life would have nothing to do with the paunchy, pock-marked, socially inept Frank. The Frank/Anna subplot is easily the film's weakest link, as it begs credulity on numerous levels, particularly that a woman as successful and articulate as Anna would see anything in Frank, who comes across as little more than a slovenly groupie, even when he cleans himself up and attempts to look presentable. Their relationship also adds nothing to our understanding of Frank, whose psychosis is apparently fueled by the violence inflicted on him by his mother, who he now sees in the face of every woman whose path he crosses. It is not surprising that feminist organizations found Maniac so repulsive, as it clearly blames Frank's violence (and apparent hatred of women) on maternal abuse, although one doesn't have to read too deeply into the film to recognize that it is hardly promoting violence against women, as only the most depraved viewer could possibly see Frank as a role model worthy of emulation.
If anything, Spinell's agitated, sweat-soaked performance is the film's strongest asset, particularly the way he conveys Frank's simultaneous self-loathing and unquenchable desire to satiate the demons of his past. The film's most powerful sequences are the ones in which he loses control and then later berates himself (and his victim) for the subsequent violence. Interestingly, the film's cautionary tagline--"I told you not to go out tonight"--was consistently misunderstand as a warning to women to "stay in their place," when in fact it is a line of dialogue Frank speaks to himself, thus suggesting that he is internally divided over his activities, yet incapable of curtailing them. Unlike so many horror films of its era, Maniac appears to be making a genuine attempt to depict a more realistic monster--not a nightmare fantasy madman, but rather a traumatized character of some depth, which we see in the "conversations" he holds with himself and his mannequins.
Director William Lustig, who was making his feature-film debut, embraces the film's low budget and the necessity of handheld guerilla filmmaking techniques to contextualize Frank's violence in the seediest corners of New York City, which has never looked like more of a cesspool of crime, corruption, and decay, especially with Jay Chattaway's foreboding score layered over it. The pornographic movie theaters, streetwalkers, and dilapidated buildings that form the film's environment suggest that Frank's sickness is but an extreme example of a generally depraved culture, something the film's critics would probably point out is made all the worse by movies like Maniac. They wouldn't be wrong, but to dismiss Maniac as nothing more than morbid trash is to willfully ignore what it does well and how its attempts, however flawed, to get inside the mind of a serial killer is not that far removed from so much mainstream entertainment of today. In its own very scary way, Lustig's little low-budget cheapie is one of the most prophetic movies of the early 1980s.
Maniac 30th Anniversary Edition Two-Disc Blu-Ray/DVD Set | |

Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 |

Subtitles | English, French, Italian, German |
Supplements | |
Distributor | Blue Underground |
Release Date | November 2, 2010 |
Let's face it: Maniac is never going to look very good, even with Blue Underground giving it the full 1080p high-definition treatment. The problem is that it was shot on a low budget on what looks to be fairly cheap 16mm film stock and then blown up to 35mm for theatrical distribution. The new transfer on this Blu-Ray disc appears to have come from a 35mm blowup due to the exaggerated presence of grain and overall softness of the image. Detail is fairly murky, especially in the nighttime scenes, but that is the nature of the film. This is certainly the best it has ever looks on home video, and probably better than it looked in most theaters back in 1980. The newly remixed lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround soundtrack benefits Jay Chattaway's undeniably effective musical score the most (parts of it sound much like the score for The Shining), although some of the ambient noises of the city are also given more depth and space. | |
This is at least the third release of Maniac on digital disc since the beginning of the DVD era, but it is by far the most comprehensive in terms of supplements. It is impressive, in fact, just how much Blue Underground has managed to gather on a film that many probably thought would disappear a long time ago. The 30th Anniversary Blu-Ray maintains almost all of the supplements that were included on Blue Underground's DVD from 2007, including an informative audio commentary by director William Lustig, special make-up effects artist Tom Savini, editor Lorenzo Marinelli, and Joe Spinell's longtime assistant and good friend Luke Walter; a radio interview Lustig and stars Joe Spinell and Caroline Munro; The Joe Spinell Story, a 49-minute documentary about the film's unconventional star (who died in 1989) that includes interviews with many of his friends and colleagues, all of whom have nothing but glowing things to say; several theatrical trailers, TV spots, and radio spots; a poster and stills gallery; and the "Gallery of Outrage," which includes some of the choicest quotes from critics slamming the movie. For this new two-disc disc set, Blue Underground has added quite a bit more, starting with a new audio commentary recorded in July 2010 by director William Lustig and co-producer Andrew W. Garroni. There are also four new interviews (in high-def), each of which runs around 12 to 14 minutes: In "Anna and the Killer," actress Caroline Munro talks about her career and her work on the film; in "The Death Dealer," the always entertaining Tom Savini riffs about the months he spent working on the film for virtually no money, including a fortuitous moment when he was stopped in the street by a young Sam Raimi, who was hard at work editing The Evil Dead; "Dark Notes" interviews composer Jay Chattaway; and, most interestingly, in "Maniac Men" Lustig settles a longtime urban legend that the Oscar-winning pop tune "Maniac" from Flashdance was originally written for Maniac by interviewing its writers Michael Sembello and Dennis Matkosky. Another fantastic new addition is Mr. Robbie: Maniac 2, a seven-minute short film about a TV clown who murders abusive parents that Spinell and director Buddy Giovinazzo (Combat Shock) produced in 1986 to try to drum up financing for a never-produced sequel. Finally, the controversy around the film's release is given additional context with an impressive collection of TV clips from various news and talk show programs around the country covering the film's release and its less-than-stellar reception, including one clip in which Gene Siskel discusses the film's novel promotional campaign that involved putting television monitors outside the theaters that played loops of the film's goriest scenes. |

Re: "Prescribing Psychologists:" Practicing Medicine without a License?
Right. Good points. But conversely, there are all of these psychiatrists not practicing psychology at all, or practicing it with little skill. Although ostensibly, they are supposed to have that competence.
From either direction the patient is ill served.
So how would you address that?

No Where To Go
She wanted to build a machine, one that could take her to a different time, or a different place.
She wasted in the garage, piecing it together, rivet by rivet until at last she could stand in front of it, a hunched over old lady leaning on a cane. And then she realized-
The machine could only go to times or places she had been, and she wasted all of her times and places on the machine.
