Talk about bad PR. Since Bernard Madoff was charged with running a $50 billion Ponzi scheme, Jews have been taking a lot of blame for this bad apple. Anti-Semities are usually looking for any opportunity to malign Jews, and Madoff made it easy.
Madoff's co-religionists have distanced Jewish values from the avarice that sunk Bernard Madoff Investment Securities. Rob Eshman's column this week, online later tonight, is wistful for a Jewish concept of hell: "Because then I could take comfort that Bernard Madoff will go there. And Rabbi David Wolpe of Sinai Temple wrote for On Faith that Jewish ethics can't just be present in the home but must also underlie business practices:
The Rabbis of the Talmud declare: "If one is honest in business, and earns the esteem of others, it is as if one has fulfilled the whole Torah (Mechilta, Vayassa)." Religion may begin at home, but it should never end there. If it does not move us to decency and goodness, it matters not at all what pieties we profess.
Rabbi Elliot Dorff told me something similar yesterday:
"As a religious Jew, how do you see it being OK to daven three times and day and then defraud the Jewish communities of many cities of their funds?" Dorff asked. "If anything, this shows you can't be a religious Jew simply by observing the laws. Being a religious Jew must entail being moral as well. Beside the fact that it both illegal and immoral to do this to individual investors—to do it to Jewish federations representing the Jewish community is just unconscionable. What happened to Kol Yisrael Areivim Zeh BaZe—all Jews are responsible for each other?"
"Piety," he added, "is not an excuse, let alone a justification, for immorality."
It was Dorff's comments that led Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein to pick up the phone.
Adlerstein, the Irmas Chair in Jewish Law and Ethics at Loyola Law School and one of the Cross-Currents collaborators, wanted to know where I got information that Madoff was Orthodox. I told him I hadn't actually looked into it, but had heard that he was a member of an Orthodox shul and was treasurer of the Yeshiva University board of trustees and had been involved with a number of other Orthodox causes. When Dorff told me Madoff was Orthodox, I had no reason to doubt him. Maybe I should have.
"If he isn't Orthodox, please clear that up," Adlerstein said. "We don't need the attention."
Adlerstein called back two hours later, saying he had spoken with a "highly placed Manhattan source," which I understood to mean a friend.
"He ain't Orthodox. He isn't a Sabbath observer. He is a Sabbath desecrator. By no means can he be considered Orthodox."
I called Dorff back and he said he made the same presumptions I think most people have. I'm still not certain what the answer is. I can find no information online about whether Madoff kept kosher or Shabbat.
But does that even matter? I have plenty of friends who don't neatly fall into the categories of Orthodox, Conservative, Reform or Reconstructionist who practice mitzvot and keep the Sabbath holy. If Madoff was involved in Orthodox life, how can anyone but the rabbis say, outside the most legalistic judgment, that he isn't Orthodox?
The interesting thing to me is the way Madoff's sins are being passed around. Everybody wants to distance their community from a guy who moved seamlessly through the upper echelons of the Jewish and financial worlds for years and allegedly stole straight from the tzedakah box.
Many Jewish leaders have been quick to express what a shande Madoff's alleged transgressions were. (And they were.) Non-Orthodox Jews, specifically, have demonstrated a bit of schadenfreude when observing Madoff's fall.
The reality, though, is we're all responsible for Madoff. Muslims, Christians and Jews, Orthodox, Conservative and Reform, secular and sectarian. It doesn't matter what strain Madoff came from or belongs too.
Religious values don't inspire and prop up Ponzi schemes. Getting financial returns that are too good to be true do.

Here's some useful information to help you be better informed and prepared in the event of a power outage.
Download our Color Brochure, Be Prepared for a Power Outage.
While Bangor Hydro delivers power over 99.96% of the time, power outages can and do occur for a variety of reasons. Most outages tend to be localized and of short duration. However, if a widespread outage does occur, it will most likely be due to extreme weather conditions. The line work our crews perform is always dangerous and is made more so by working in the midst of extreme weather, often for extended periods of time. Under these circumstances, it is impossible for our line crews to restore power to everyone at once.
Always Put Safety First
Most power outages occur because power lines are brought down (shorted to ground) by tree limbs or vehicle accidents. If you see a downed power line, stay away! Don't touch it or attempt to move it. If a line falls on your car, stay put until we make sure it is safe for you to get out.
Back to top
Call Us to Report Power Outages and Dangerous Situations
Call Bangor Hydro's Service Center to report a power outage, downed line or other power emergency at 1-800-440-1111. Customers with Touch-Tone phones can utilize our computerized telephone outage reporting system that will answer your call and also allow you to record your outage.
If a special circumstance requires you to speak to our customer representatives, please be patient. During a major outage, we open up additional phone lines and call in extra staff to answer the phones. Even then, our phone lines can sometimes become overloaded. Please keep trying - your call is important and helps us to identify the sources of power outages.
Emergency Generators
If your home is equipped with an emergency generator, we urge you to ensure that it is safely installed and operated. Improper installation and/or operation can create life-threatening hazards for our crews and for you, for which you can be held liable.
Bangor Hydro has prepared a brochure on emergency generator safety. You can download this brochure from our Generator Safety Page or call our Service Center at 1-800-499-6600 to request a copy.
Be Prepared
What Happens at Bangor Hydro Electric During An Outage?
When an outage is reported to our Customer Service Center, our Service Representatives report the outage to our Dispatchers in the line department. During a major outage, while our line crews are at work, we send additional staff to find the sources of each outage and determine what repairs are needed. This allows us to dispatch line crews according to our restoration priority system and with the necessary equipment and resources to complete the repairs.
Restoration follows a priority system that targets restoration of the transmission system first (the backbone of our electrical system) then targets emergency services, hospitals and nursing homes. After this, local distribution feeders are repaired based on the number of homes and businesses effected.
After notifying our Dispatchers of a power outage, our Customer Service Center receives only periodic updates regarding the status of the restoration work. When the Dispatchers receive updates from the field, they notify the Service Center. We don't ask our lineworkers to continuously provide updates since doing so would slow the restoration work.
Stay Informed
During an outage, Bangor Hydro will provide restoration updates to local broadcast stations. Be sure to tune to your local radio or television station for power restoration and safety updates. You can also access this information at bangorhydro.com or on your mobile device at bhe.com/m or by calling the numbers below.
Customer Service 1-800-499-6600 or 947-2414

A look at second-round state playoff matchups involving region prep football teams.
4-AA Mideast
Matchup: The teams played annually from 2001-10, with Jack Britt going 9-1, and now the Buccaneers are trying to keep the Bucks from advancing to the third round of the playoffs for the first time since '04. With a win, Britt is in the third round for the fourth time in five seasons. Hoke's Detrez Newsome has rushed for 2,048 yards with 35 touchdowns, and Britt's defense will be looking for an improved effort after allowing 212 yards on the ground in a first-round win against Lumberton. Mark McRae had his second 200-yard passing game of the season against the Pirates, and Eric Carter leads the team with 946 rushing yards, one more than Marquis Foshee.
Next game: Winner plays Fuquay-Varina or Richmond Senior
4-A Mideast
Matchup: Instead of facing Durham Hillside, which eliminated the Golden Bulls in the second round last season and handed them their only loss this year, E.E. Smith takes on the third-place team from the Metro Conference. Southeast Guilford trailed 14-7 at Hillside last week before tying the game with 47 seconds left and using an interception to set up a 42-yard field goal as time expired. The Falcons were upset by Greensboro Grimsley during the regular season, and they allowed at least 38 points in losses to Southern Guilford, Dudley and Page. The Golden Bulls are led by dual-threat quarterback Phillip Bell, who has passed for 1,643 yards and rushed for 1,197.
Next game: Winner plays Lee County or Scotland
Matchup: Lee County's offense exploded for 499 yards, including 346 rushing, during a 57-35 win against Terry Sanford last week, but Scotland is allowing only 9.8 points per game. Shrine Bowl linebacker Artemis Robinson returned an interception for a touchdown last week while his older brother, Green Bay Packers rookie Terrell Manning, watched from the stands, and that 40-5 victory was the sixth time this season Scotland has given up seven points or less. It last played Lee County in 2006, winning 37-14.
Next game: Winner plays Southeast Guilford or E.E. Smith
3-AA Mideast
Matchup: Scoring on a kickoff return, reception and two rushes, Donald Alexander accounted for four touchdowns in Overhills' second-ever playoff win. The Jaguars have been outgained 736-416 in the last two games, including 410-201 last week, but their grind-it-out style created noteworthy time-of-possession advantages against Western Alamance (27 of 48 minutes) and Gray's Creek (30 minutes). It'll be important to keep the ball away from Southern Guilford's ground-oriented offense, which has two talented backs in Malik Moseley (2,144 yards) and Reggie Gallaspy (1,566).
Next game: Winner plays Chapel Hill or Northern Guilford
2-AA Mideast
Matchup: After scoring at least 42 points in each of its regular-season victories, St. Pauls needed a strong defensive effort to pull out a 22-17 win against Pittsboro Northwood last week. Shawn Williams had the go-ahead touchdown with four minutes remaining, and the Bulldogs made a fourth-down stop inside their 10-yard line with 30 seconds left. St. Pauls won its first playoff game since 2007, when it lost in the third round to Reidsville, which has won 18 state titles. The Rams, who have lost this season to 3-A schools Western Alamance and West Rowan, are led by dual-threat quarterback Devonte Williams (1,325 of his 2,094 yards are through the air) and Jayron Rankin (team leader with 1,111 rushing yards, 77 tackles).
Next game: Winner plays Randleman or Carrboro
2-A Mideast
Matchup: The Wildcats finished in a tie for second in the Mid-State Conference behind Reidsville. They had a three-game losing streak at one point, but they've won five of their last six. East Bladen has won five straight, including a 28-7 victory over fellow Waccamaw Conference member Whiteville last Friday to open the playoffs.
Next game: Winner plays South Granville or South Columbus
Matchup: South Granville, the Carolina 12 runner-up to unbeaten Carrboro, features its league's top two running backs in sophomore Sean Bowman (1,253 yards) and senior Kenny Walls (1,099). South Columbus is led by 6-foot-7 quarterback Pharoah McKever, an N.C. State commit. Dashaun Daniels rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns in last week's 31-20 playoff win over Clinton.
Next game: Winner plays Eastern Randolph or East Bladen
1-AA Mideast
Matchup: The Spartans have gone 5-2 since losing to Kenan in their Tri-County Conference opener, 44-6. Quarterback Alfredo Garcia led the league with 790 passing yards, but the Tigers counter with junior Marcelias Sutton, the conference's top rusher at 1,352 yards.
Next game: Winner plays Pender County or Red Springs
Matchup: The Patriots pulled off a playoff upset last week, breaking open a 20-20 game to oust perennial power Wallace-Rose Hill, 40-20, on the Bulldogs' home field. But now they face the daunting challenge of corraling Red Devils QB Blake Greene, who has thrown for 2,066 yards and scored 204 points.
Next game: Winner plays Union or Warsaw Kenan
NCISAA Div. II 11-man semifinals

By Oliver Sacks. Knopf, $25.
From the beginning of his writing career, Sacks has shown a childlike fascination with how our brains perceive music, so an entire book devoted to the subject was to be expected. But these 29 essays still cover a wide range of conditions, including synesthesia, the ability to see colors related to musical scales, and amusia, when one has no reaction to any type of music. The trademark empathy and concern of Sacks, author of Awakenings and many more volumes about neurologically afflicted people, is never far away. Musicophilia, by the way, is the human "propensity to music."
"I think an orderly piece of music is the antithesis of confusion," Sacks said at a talk on music and the brain at Columbia University recently. "It can lend its order to someone." That statement is the nutshell synopsis of this book, in which Sacks tells countless stories of patients with dementia, aphasia (a speech disorder), or amnesia who function more easily when singing or playing an instrument.
The story of Clive Wearing—an English music scholar, pianist and conductor who's the subject of one of the longest essays—proves the hypothesis. He was left virtually without a memory after contracting herpes encephalitis in 1985, and forgets the present in a matter of seconds. Still, he appears "normal" when conducting a choir or playing Bach on the piano. The music unlocks a part of his brain.
The essays, loaded with musical and neuroscientific terms, are a bit much to take in at one sitting, and if neither is your field, you might feel yourself overwhelmed. Taken one at a time, however, the individual stories fit together as seamlessly as one of Bach's fugues.—Marc Geelhoed

Does age increase the severity of EDS symptoms/problems? |
In some people joint laxity can get worse with age. In others it doesn't. The risk of complications increases with increasing age with people with Vascular EDS (type IV). We are less sure about the natural history in other disorders. Answered by Peter Byers |

Comments about Marine Silicone Sealant:
I used this product to seal the holes in the transum where I screwed the brackets for the swim platform. I wouldn't hesitate to use this product anywhere on the boat for openings that need to be sealed and waterproofed. I think 10oz was a little too much, so get a smaller tube a little goes a long way and if your sealing a big hole you better find something else.

Comments about Marine Silicone Sealant:
The small squeeze-type tube is terrible. The cap includes a sharp point for breaking the seal on the tube, but once broken, the seal becomes a flap that keeps obstructing the flow of the sealant. Unscrew the applicator cap, clear, repeat, repeat, repeat. What a mess. The 3M tube doesn't do this.

Ivy Bar & Kitchen
Online Reservations
This was my first visit to Ivy Bar & Kitchen and was very impressed with the atmosphere. Really different from other Burlington restaurants. We sat inside as it is still cold out but can't wait to go back and sit outside on their garden patio. Food was very good and plan to go back and try their small plates.
We were in for an early dinner and my impression is that this is a great "yuppie" gathering place. While I think it's very good, and my wife and I will dine here again, it doesn't strike me as a place to go for a quiet and/or romantic dinner.
Had a great night out with my wife and enjoyed our time at Ivy. Even though service was a little slow it was still pleasant and the food was very good. The dishes seemed well thought out and the plate presentation were clean and neat. The flavours of the food were well balanced ,I especially like my duck "duo" plate even though I questioned how much foie gras was in my sausage. The servers were very attentive ,pleasant and energetic. all in all and great experience one I hope to repeat one day
We were a little hesitant going to Ivy after seeing mixed online reviews, but have absolutely no regrets now that we've gone. Sunday's brunch was an extensive buffet (not the menu posted on their website, mind you), delicious and varied, and we thought quite reasonable compared with other higher-end brunch buffets we have been to. The mussels were excellent and the Banana Bread French Toast was off-the-hook! Service was awesome and there was a very entertaining folky jazz duo as well. Recommended!
Our reservation was at 5 pm before going to a movie and we were the first in the restaurant. By the time we left there were several other tables occupied which is a good sign. The service was excellent. The price of food is a little high. Ordered the 2 specials - Swordfish was $24 with a small piece of fish and salad. Also ordered the pasta of the day - garlic cream sauce with chicken, asparagus and tomatoes and it was $26. Food tasted great but the prices could be a little lower for the portion sizes. Had the caprese salad and Caesar salad and both were good.
I find the food is always very tasty at Ivy and the ambiance is like a high end vacation resort. The patio is large,beautiful and private. The indoors has a stunning chandelier and a mix of low tables with couches and regular tables. The staff is also very friendly. It's a great place to hang our with friends or enjoy a special occasion.
We went to celebrate my birthday & were looked after by Brooke. She was fun and professional and helped us navigate our way through the cocktail and dinner menu. Appetizers were absolutely delicious and helped set the tone for a great night of celebration. Unfortunately the main courses were a disappointment. My husband ordered the steak feature, and, although it was cooked perfectly, the meat was incredibly tough which speaks to the quality or the butchery of the meat. My mother and I had the Tagliatelle and it was okay but nothing special. My father had the duck and he was less than impressed as well. My daughter was REALLY well looked after and we were impressed with the pasta that the chef put together. Great place. Great service.
Thank you for a great evening! Everyone commented on the fresh air from your living wall...lovely! The food was awesome. Our server was very helpful...I have several food allergies and she was able to accommodate me. We will definitely visit again. Next time we will introduce some new friends to your restaurant.
Dined on Thursday and the restaurant was not busy at all. Live music was excellent, but when they went on a break the volume was a bit loud considering it was not a club night. Food and drinks were excellent, however, service was extremely slow.
Been hard pressed to find a really good breakfast place in burlington that offers above the regular breakfast chains. This place is a deal for $ 25/person. Apparently they recently decreased their price from $ 45 which is way too much to spend on breakfast/brunch. But at$ 25 it is a great deal for what they offer. Fresh made to order eggs benedict, banana bread french toast, steak.. oysters, mussels, crab legs and a ton more! it was all amazing. Will definitely go back for brunch.
We went to Ivy Bar & Kitchen celebrating my Dad's birthday on a Monday evening. The ambiance is incredible! Spacious, modern and well lit, With service being prompt and friendly. Also noticed a great patio section -- too bad patio season is coming to an end. I imagine this place to be a bustling night scene on the weekends, which would be great, but it's also a notable spot if you are looking for mid-price fine dining with an exceptional wine list. Ivy's "Duck Duo" dish with a braised cabbage and cranberry mustard was my pick, and it was delicious! I'll definitely be coming back to see the weekend crowd.
First time customer, Food and service were both very good.
Ivy Bar is great place for seafood bar, even though they ran out of crabs. The oysters were amazing and the mussels were fresh. The chef at the bar was also very friendly and accommodating. The rest of the food was okay. The omelette and waffle station was also good. I found there wasn't much selection of their hot food and the bread and antipasto station just seemed abundant but plain. It was a good experience all the together; the service was pretty good as well. We'll definitely go back again for brunch.
The décor and hoping dance/bar on Friday & Saturdays is perfect crowd for the group of us north of 40 that love dancing. This ain't ball room dancing but get your heart pumping moving dance floor. Food was fantastic, had only been here for dancing before today. Wine list is a surprize( a good one).
This was my second visit for Brunch. The food is excellent and the staff are super friendly. The only negative thing I could say is the tables are a little too close and it makes it difficult getting in and out to go to the buffet. The seating would be fine if you are having full table service. I will definitely be coming back though.
Went for brunch last Sunday, the food was fantastic, the place is really nice, the seating was not at all private, we had a couple on either side of us, almost feels like they were at your table. (didn't bother us, we had fun meeting them, but really, maybe there was a more private spot if we had of asked.

Sam Raimi Movies
Like most children of the 1960s,
Sam Raimi
grew up acting out his fantasies with the benefit of an 8 mm movie camera. The film gauge "grew to 35" when
, with the aid of friends and relatives, raised 500,000 dollars to film a horror feature,
The Evil Dead
(1983). Not your average sliced-up-teenager epic,
Evil Dead
was a marvelously wicked assault on the senses, belying its tiny budget with several extremely clever (if nausea-inducing) set pieces.
switched to slapstick comedy with Crimewave (1985), a wild Detroit-based crime caper co-scripted by
's friends and fellow devotees of the bizarre,
Ethan Coen
Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn
(1987) giddily expanded the scope and splat-stick humor of the initial installment, and quickly became a cult classic with it s over-the-top gore and imaginative direction.
Evil Dead 2
was the mark of a director truly at the top of his creative game, and with that film a foundation was cemented between
Bruce Campbell
that would reach almost mythical status among the hardcore fans of the series.
next came out guns-blazing for
(1990), a comic-book inspired fantasy/adventure representing the director's biggest production budget to date. Though it performed only moderately at the box office, fans clamored to see
's first major release and got an extra kick out of longtime friend and
Evil Dead
Bruce Campbell
in an all-too-brief closing-scene cameo. Also expensively mounted was
Army of Darkness
(1992), a time-travel swashbuckler that gave evidence of extensive post-production tinkering (notably its skimpy 80-minute running time). A sequel to the first two
Evil Dead
flicks, the film was released under the more ambiguous title lest it be associated with the outrageously gory previous installments. In the following years the now-established director would hone his talents as a producer with such big-budget action releases as
Hard Target
(1993) and
(1994). The mid-'90s also found
producing two tele-films that would become the genesis of television's massively popular Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (
would continue as executive producer during the series' four-year run) as well as executive producing Hercules arguably more successful companion series, Xena: Warrior Princess.
In 1995,
once again stepped back behind the camera to helm
The Quick and the Dead
, a revisionist Western starring
Sharon Stone
. It earned only a lukewarm reception, and it was three years before
directed another feature. 1998's
A Simple Plan
was a far greater success than
The Quick and the Dead
: Starring
Billy Bob Thornton
Bill Paxton
as brothers driven to mistrust and paranoia after discovering four million dollars in the woods, it was
's most lauded film to date, earning a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar nomination for
Scott B. Smith
and a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for
. The following year,
submerged himself fully in the mainstream, directing the
Kevin Costner
baseball vehicle
For Love of the Game
. Unfortunately, the film met with a very mixed reaction from critics and audiences alike, many of whom longed for the days when
Bruce Campbell
, demonic mutilation, and possessed appendages reigned supreme. The Southern gothic trappings of
's next film,
The Gift
(2000), found the director's longtime fan base hesitantly re-embracing the one-time cult figure with its tale of the supernatural and quietly creepy atmosphere. A frightening performance by the usually non-threatening
Keanu Reeves
caught jaded filmgoers off guard and the decidedly low-key film contained enough scares to prove that while it may have been temporarily dulled,
had certainly not lost his edge.
's next effort may not have been the long-anticipated fourth chapter in the
Evil Dead
saga (a fanboy fantasy that
had cheerfully dismissed on numerous occasions), the long-anticipated release of
found the director back on familiar ground with its wild visuals and comic-book origins. Though numerous A-list directors (including
James Cameron
David Fincher
) had been attached to helm the film during its extended incubation,
's childhood love for the well-loved web-slinger eventually won him the opportunity (and formidable challenge) of bringing the story of
to the big screen. With
Tobey Maguire
in the lead,
Kirsten Dunst
as Mary Jane Watson, and
Willem Dafoe
suiting up as the Green Goblin,
shattered all expectations with overwhelmingly positive word of mouth and a historical opening weekend box-office take of 114 million dollars. With its respect to the source material remaining unusually faithful and a talented cast lending the film as much solid story as thrilling action, fans immediately hungered for more, to which
responded with the wildly popular and equally frenetic Spider Man II.
Though Raimi would remain true to the hit series he had so skillyfully crafted by promising Spider Man III as his next directorial outing, it was around this time that the tireless filmmaker began turning his attentions as a producer away from television to focus on the big screen with his production company Ghost House Pictures. The wildly successful horror remake The Grudge being the first outing by the comapny,
subsequently removed any doubt that he was still interested in terrifying audiences when he announced that Ghost House would be producing such eagerly-anticipated horror outings as 30 Days of Night, The Messengers, The Grudge 2, and, of course, the long-rumored remake of his classic shocker
The Evil Dead
Spider-Man III arrived, amid much hoopla and fanfare, in early May 2007 - seemingly the perfect cap-off to the summer movie season of that year. With
helming, megamogul Laura Ziskin producing, and Alvin Sargent on board, once again, to co-script, many regarded the picture as an ace in the hole even before it hit cinemas. To be certain, the box office mojo soared. Some critical responses waxed decidedly less enthusiastic than they had for the first two installments, however; one high-profile reviewer complained openly about the strain placed on
and his co-scripters (Sargent and brother Ivan Raimi) to concoct yet another variation on a formula that perhaps didn't demand reiteration except to gross dollar one. The story in question finds Spidey coming into contact with a space particle that blackens his suit and turns him into a raging egomaniac (didn't the scenarists hear scary echoes of Superman 3?). He must then take on not one but three baddies: the son of the Green Goblin from the second Spiderman (James Franco); escaped criminal Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church), who morphs into The Sandman; and reporter Eddie Brock (Topher Grace), who transforms into the fanged villain Venom. Sadly for Raimi and company, many die-hard fans of the Spider-Man series considered the second sequel to be a lackluster cap on an otherwise solid trilogy and the character was subsequently handed over to director Mark Webb for a reboot.
In the wake of his Spider-Man series Raimi dived back into the genre pool with 2009's Drag Me to Hell -- a highly original horror comedy about an ambitious loan officer cursed by a vengeful old gypsy -- yet despite a torrent of positive critical nods, the film failed to make an impression at the box office. But even that perceived failure did little to slow the creativity of the visionary director, and shortly thereafter Raimi was back behind at the helm with Oz: The Great and Powerful -- a high-profile prequel to The Wizard of Oz inspired by the writings of L. Frank Baum and featuring an imperssive cast that included James Franco, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, and Zach Braff.
Meanwhile, as a producer, Raimi teamed with Mandate Pictures and longtime filmmaking partner Rob Tapert to launch Ghost House Pictures, a genre-oriented studio that shocked thick-skinned moviegoers with The Grudge, 30 Days of Night, The Possession, and The Evil Dead (2013) among others. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A mischievous magician gains the wisdom to become a powerful ruler after being swept away to a land of magic and mystery as director Sam Raimi and screenwriters Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole) explore the genesis of author L. Frank Baum's enduring tales of Oz. Shady illusionist Oscar Diggs (James Franco) enchants curious audiences at a Kansas circus. A self-professed con man, he's a fast-talking performer who aspires to follow in the footsteps of inventors like Thomas Edison. Oscar is being chased across the circus grounds by the rampaging Strongman when a tornado blows in and everyone runs for cover. Seeing a hot-air balloon as his only chance for escape, the illusionist jumps in and cuts himself free. Magically transported to the wondrous world of Oz, he soon encounters Theodora (Mila Kunis), a temperamental witch who surmises that he is the wizard named after their land (Oscar's nickname is Oz), foretold to fall from the sky, defeat a nasty witch, and ascend to the throne. Theodora takes Oscar to the Emerald City to meet her sister Evanora (Rachel Weisz), a powerful witch who reveals that he cannot become the rightful ruler of Oz until he's accomplished his mission. Later, as Oscar and his new flying-monkey companion Finley (voice of Zach Braff) prepare to face their fearsome enemy, they're joined by the fragile but fearless China Girl (voice of Joey King) and benevolent witch Glinda the Good (Michelle Williams), who help them prepare for the arduous battle ahead. Together with the brave people of Oz, Oscar draws up a plan to rid the land of evil once and for all, and become the great and powerful king who will rule from his throne in the Emerald City. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A trip into the woods turns into a terrifying battle against the forces of evil in this remake of Sam Raimi's ferocious 1981 horror classic. Mia (Jane Levy) is a heroin addict whose most recent overdose was nearly her last. Recognizing that she won't survive another, Mia's longtime friends Olivia (Jessica Lucas) and Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) take the troubled girl to her family's old cabin in the woods to quit cold turkey. It isn't their first attempt, but this time they're hoping that with Mia's brother David (Shiloh Fernandez) around, she'll have the support she needs to weather the coming storm. The moment David arrives at the cabin with his girlfriend Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore), strange things start to happen; Mia complains about a foul smell that none of her friends can sense, and upon descending into the fruit cellar David and Eric discover what appears to be the scene of a dark ritual. Scattered amongst the animal corpses and mysterious artifacts is an old book that's been sealed shut with heavy-duty plastic and barbed wire. Intrigued, Eric manages to cut the book free and makes a disturbing discovery -- the book has been bound in human flesh, and it comes with an incantation that will unleash a powerful force of evil. Ignoring the warnings not to speak or even hear the incantation, Eric reads the words aloud, sealing his own dark fate, as well as those of his closest friends. One by one they will be possessed until no soul has been left unclaimed. The lucky ones will die first, their souls condemned to suffer as their bodies are twisted into an obscene aberration of flesh. Will the last person standing have the courage to send these sadistic demons back to hell, even if it means killing their friends and loved ones in the worst way imaginable, or will the forces unleashed by this unholy book prove too powerful for any one mortal to defeat? ~ Rovi

Evil Dead director Sam Raimi takes the helm for this "spook-a-blast" shocker about an ambitious L.A. loan officer who incurs the wrath of a malevolent gypsy by refusing to grant her an extension on her home loan. Determined to impress her boss and get a much-needed promotion at work, Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) lays down the law when mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) literally comes begging for mercy at her feet. In retaliation for being publicly shamed, Mrs. Ganush places the dreaded curse of the Lamia on her unfortunate target, transforming Christine's life into a waking nightmare. Her skeptical boyfriend, Clay (Justin Long), casually brushing off her disturbing encounters as mere coincidence, Christine attempts to escape eternal damnation by seeking out the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao ). But Christine's time is fast running out, and unless she's able to break the curse, she'll be tormented by a demon for three days before literally being dragged to hell. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Vacancy director Nimród Antal helms the crime thriller Armored, starring Columbus Short as Ty, an armored truck guard who gets wrapped up in a heist scheme hatched by his godfather and mentor on the job, Mike (Matt Dillon). Along with a team that includes Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno, and Skeet Ulrich, the group makes off with a shipment of 40 million dollars, but things start to unravel when one of them kills a homeless man as they stash the cash. Ty, who almost didn't sign on to the job but caved when his house was on the verge of foreclosure and his brother nearly taken out of his custody by Child Welfare, breaks from the plan and locks himself in one of the armored trucks until he figures out a way out of the deadly scenario. While Ty is trapped inside the truck with half of the loot, the rest of the crew has only so much time before they're reported missing, bringing life-or-death decisions to a heist where no blood was to be spilled. Things get further complicated when a patrol officer (Milo Ventimiglia) comes snooping around the warehouse district where the crew has been hiding. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

The Shadow
Spider-Man director Sam Raimi teams with Josh Donen and screenwriter Siavash Farahani to find out what evil lurks within the hearts of men with this update of Walter B. Gibson's 1930s-era pulp radio show that evolved into a popular Columbia cliffhanger starring Victor Jory before being adapted into a television series. A mysterious hat-and-cape-clad crime fighter who stalks criminals from the shadows and possesses the power to cloud men's minds, The Shadow was later resurrected for a 1994 adventure starring Alec Baldwin, though that particular incarnation failed to connect with audiences. The influence of the character can clearly be seen in Raimi's underappreciated and highly stylized 1990 comic-book action entry Darkman, and, as with Spider-Man, The Shadow is a character that the wildly creative producer has dreamed of bringing to the big screen since launching his career in film. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Legend of the Seeker [TV Series]
This first-run syndicated fantasy series from producer Sam Rami follows in the footsteps of Rami's previous efforts, like Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules. Based on the Sword of Truth series of novels by author Terry Goodkind, the series takes place in a fantasy world, where modern technology hasn't developed - but magic has. However, under the iron fist of the dictator Darken Rahl, people are forbidden to use magic, and have been taught to fear it. The only one who can free the world's people from a lifetime under the thumb of a tyrant is a hero spoken of in the prophecies of old - the Seeker. The time has finally come for the Seeker to appear, but when the caviler young woodsman Richard Cypher learns that he is in fact the one, dusty old predictions take a decidedly cowboyish twist, as Richard may have the inborn abilities set forth in the prophecy, but this carefree lad also has an attitude to match. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Hong Kong horror specialists Danny and Oxide Pang (The Eye, Bangkok Haunted) ponder the paranormal sensitivities of young innocents in this tale of an unsuspecting family who falls prey to a malevolent entity after moving to into a haunted sunflower farm. Roy (Dylan McDermott) and Denise Solomon (Penelope Ann Miller) have decided to give up life in Chicago and relocate their family to secluded North Dakota sunflower farm. While the tranquil sway of the lush yellow fields at first offers a welcomed reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the big city, the family soon begins to suspect that they are not alone on the farm when teenage daughter Jess (Kristen Stewart) and her three-year-old brother, Ben (Evan Turner), begin to see a series of menacing apparitions that are apparently invisible to adult eyes. As Jess and Ben's encounters with the malevolent spirits grow increasingly violent, the parents of the tormented teen soon begin to question their daughter's sanity. Soon, the dark history of the family that once lived in the remote farm and the troubled past of the frightened Jess begin to merge as she struggles to warn her parents about the terrifying confrontation with the supernatural that is about to unfold. John Corbett, Jodelle Ferland, and Brent Briscoe co-star in a rural tale of terror from Ghosthouse Pictures and producer Sam Raimi. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hard Candy director David Slade took the helm for this adaptation of Steve Niles' terrifying comic-book series of the same name. In Barrow, AK, one night can last an eternity. One month every year, this town is plunged into darkness for 30 days due to its location far north of the Arctic Circle. While extended periods of darkness are something that the locals have become accustomed to, this year something sinister is about to emerge from the long and unforgiving night. As a maniacal horde of vampires assumes control of the city streets and begins to feast freely upon the terrified citizens, the local sheriff (Josh Hartnett), his wife (Melissa George), and a small but resilient band of survivors will be forced to choose between saving themselves or helping the few remaining members of their community survive the blood-soaked siege. Original comic creator Niles collaborated with screenwriters Stuart Beattie and Brian Nelson to pen the film, which was produced under Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures banner. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Your friendly neighborhood web-slinger is back, only this time his sunny outlook has become partially overcast in the third chapter of director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man saga. Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco return to reprise their roles from the previous two installments, with Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, and Bryce Dallas Howard making their first appearances in the series as Flint Marko (aka Sandman), Eddie Brock (aka Venom), and Gwen Stacy, respectively. Peter Parker (Maguire) has finally leaned to walk the middle ground between being the superhero that his city needs and the man that Mary Jane (Dunst) loves. All is well in New York City until one night, as Peter and M.J. sit gazing at the stars, a falling comet streams across the sky and crashes into the ground close by. But this isn't any ordinary shooting star, and upon impact the mysterious space rock is split open to reveal a shape-shifting symbiote with the power to overtake anything that it comes into contact with. Later, as Harry Osborn (James Franco) acquires his late father's flying board, engineers a powerful new Goblin outfit, and takes to the sky to avenge dad's death, the mysterious space sludge infects both Peter's Spider-Man suit and ambitious street photographer Eddie Brock (Grace). Peter's strange new suit gives him a newfound sense of power as it gradually overpowers his personality, and he discovers that escaped convict Flint Marko was in fact the man responsible for the death of Uncle Ben (Cliff Robertson). Unfortunately for Peter, Marko has recently acquired the power to morph at will and quickly completes his transformation into the dreaded Sandman. As the Sandman gives in to his darkest criminal instincts and the slithering space symbiote transforms Eddie Brock into the nightmarish fanged villain known as Venom, the citizens of New York City must once again call on Spider-Man to fend off destructive forces that are far too powerful for the likes of mortal man. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This American remake of director Takashi Shimizu's popular Japanese movie franchise The Grudge puts Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumna Sarah Michelle Gellar back into the line of supernatural fire. When Karen (Gellar), an American student working with a Japanese health center for college credit, comes across a mysterious curse, she quickly finds herself embroiled in a fight for her own sanity, and, ultimately, her very survival. Known as a "grudge," the curse was born inside of a house after its inhabitants died while consumed by rage -- according to legend, the curse touches all who come into contact with it, and will torment those unlucky individuals until they, too, become part of the grudge . Each time the curse finds a new victim, it is, in a sense, reborn, and will continue on its path unless Karen can free herself from its control over her. This version of The Grudge is also directed by Shimizu, and features Jason Behr, Clea DuVall, Kadee Strickland, William Mapother, and Bill Pullman in supporting roles. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Stan Lee's all-too-human superhero returns to the screen in this highly anticipated sequel to 2002's blockbuster hit Spider-Man. Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) is attempting to juggle college classes and his job as a photographer with the
Daily Bugle
while maintaining his secret life as costumed crime-fighter Spider-Man. Parker is also struggling to hold on to his relationship with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), who is beginning to enjoy success as a model and actress, and both Mary Jane and Peter have noticed he's beginning to buckle under the strain. Parker's friendship with Harry Osborn (James Franco) is also beginning to fray due to Peter's seeming alliance with Spider-Man, whom Harry blames for the death of his father, the nefarious Norman Osborn. As Parker weighs his responsibilities to himself and those around him against the obligations that come with his special powers, Spider-Man is faced with a new nemesis -- Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), a deranged scientist whose latest project has turned him into the near-invincible cyborg Doctor Octopus. Spider-Man 2 was directed by Sam Raimi, who helmed the first film, and much of the original cast has also reunited for this sequel, including Rosemary Harris, J.K. Simmons, and Bruce Campbell. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

We visited this wonderful complex honoring President Eisenhower. It includes a museum, his boyhood home and final resting place. It brought back many memories of my childhood.
Should you find yourself driving cross country, be sure to include the Eisenhower Library & Museum on your itinerary. To do it justice, and if you are a history hound, be sure to set aside at least 1/2 of a day. If you are a reader (meaning reading every sign in a museum- that would be me), plan for more... More
We had some time to kill on a Saturday afternoon and visited this Library. It was a pleasant surprise as there is just so much to see. The fact that President Eisenhower was a war hero before becoming president gives you basically two museums in one; one for his efforts in the war, and then one that details his presidency.... More
This is by far the best library of the 8 that I have been to. I would rank the others in this order. 2) Reagan, 3) Nixon, 4) Truman, 5) G.W Bush, 6) Kennedy, 7) Clinton, and dead last Carter. Clintons is like a large mobile home with a lot of empty spaces, kind of like him.
Toured the house and part of the museum and really enjoyed both! Only wish we had been able to spend more time and thoroughly explore the museum as it's far more interesting and detailed than we expected! The guide for our house tour was very well prepared and interesting too. Maybe we'll get a chance to see the rest another... More
I haft been thru this museum since I was a kid. It was cool then even more so as an adult. Ike had such a successful military career - leading the invasion of occupied Europe, the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany, becoming 5-star General and army chief of staff. Was president of a university then went on to be a... More
An interesting way to learn about the life of a former President of the United States. A lot of information about WW II as well as learning about Eisenhower and his wife during their lives during his military career, the presidency and after his retirement. I think I may have wanted to more about him as a person and how... More
When our tour visited Ike's library, museum, and boyhood home, we were still feeling the effects of food poisoning we had experienced the day before, so we were not able to enjoy the experience fully. First, we went to a visitor's center, where we saw a film about Eisenhower's life. The center was well equipped with a gift shop and... More
Not as good as the Truman Library but great artifacts and information. Lots of WWII - almost more focused on that than the president himself.
You would be remiss if you pass by Abilene and the Eisenhower Museum. The current exhibit is concise, insightful and created an emotional experience that I will remember the rest of my life.

Eyes on the shorelines, high tide as storm surges
Posted: 03/06/13 at 5:20 am Updated: 03/08/13 at 8:58 am
Tags: South Shore Scituate Flooding
SCITUATE, Mass. (WHDH) -- Another round of winter weather impacted the coast -- an area still feeling the effects from February's blizzard.
The high tide in Scituate Thursday morning brought waves onto the roadways.
Officials in Scituate warn flooding could be worse than the blizzard. Coastal homeowners were strongly advised to evacuate no later than three hours before high tide. School in Scituate was canceled Thursday. An emergency shelter opened at the high school at 8 p.m. on Wednesday.
Scituate High School turned into an emergency shelter for residents Thursday night.
"I didn't know if I was going to get flooded out, number one. Number two, usually I'll lose power," said Ted Holland, who evacuated his home. "If the tide comes in I lose my power. If I lose my power, I lose my heat."
"Everyone's concerned about the high tide tomorrow morning at eight o'clock," said one man.
"I think with this storm, it's the duration of the storm and what we're seeing is that from this morning is the tide really hasn't receded a lot," said Chief Brian Stewart, Scituate Police Department.
Some residents left Thursday morning.
"Leaving early in the morning before the tides and we're hoping for the best," one man said. "I've already had so much damage from four weeks ago that if it's going to have it happen now…right now is the time for it to happen."
Rebecca Road in Scituate is still a mess after last month's blizzard. Some roads could be under two to four feet of water after high tide.
"Our house fared pretty well -- we just lost the skirting and no structural damage, but the homes across the street are uninhabitable. We still have remnants of the last storm in the yard," said Paula Polasky.
Polasky is packing up and leaving because she doesn't want to be there when the waves start crashing.
"The house was rocking for Nemo, but I'm not going to take any chances this time," said Polasky. "I just told my boss, I said, 'I am going to evacuate. I'd rather be safe than sorry.'"
Less than a month ago, the National Guard moved into Hull to evacuate people. Their trucks traveled over water covered roads and dodged ice chunks tossed around by a storm surge.
Emergency crews said Thursday night's high tide did minimal damage, but people on the coast won't be in the clear until after the high tide on Friday morning.

text: This site has been so helpful to me in making a decision on an instrument. For three-weeks now Ive been researching and scrounging every penny I can get my hands on and Im so close to buying. I finally narrowed my search down again to two instruments here in the classifieds. First one is the 1912 model A Gibson, and the other being the 2001 Flatiron performer A. Both are the same price. Ive always been attracted to the look of those older Gibsons and this one seems to be solid but I hear people talking about the problems with the older ones. Im looking to play bluegrass but dabble in other stuff too. I just wanted to post this before making my final decision, maybe the choice is obvious but Im just not seeing it.

Reggie Doston in State Track Meet Tomorrow
Apr 29th, 2011 | By Jacob | Category: Front Page, SportsGreene Publishing, Inc.
Reginald "Reggie" Doston, a 17-year-old senior at Madison County High School, will be competing in the state high school track meet in Orlando tomorrow, the only high school student from Madison County to do so.
Doston, who has been on the high school track team all four years, competed with thirteen other high school students at the regional level last Thursday, April 21, where he placed second in the shot-put event, good enough to land him a spot in the state competition and making him he only one of the thirteen regional competitors to advance to the next level. In fact, Doston qualified in both the shot-putt event and another separate event – weightlifting, but had to choose only one. The state finals for both are on the same day.
Good luck, Reggie.

Hi guys!
I split this topic as it was no longer referring to our Oracle's book anymore and moved the remaining posts to the "The talking place!" in a new topic named "Life as it is/was..." - somehow the title seemed appropriate! Feel free to continue your talk there!
Any more posts regarding Titaness's book are however most welcome here!
Maybe even a few excerpts (if Titaness is up to it) would be nice!!!

[Federal Register: August 30, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 187)] [Notices] [Page 59684] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr13au10-35] DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Foreign Agricultural Service
Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA. ACTION: Notice.
The Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) has denied a petition (No. 2011001) for trade adjustment assistance for coffee filed under the fiscal year (FY) 2011 program by 100 Puerto Rico Coffee Export Board, Inc. The petition was accepted for review by USDA on July 21, 2010. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To qualify under the program, Subtitle C of Title I of the Trade Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107– 210) states that petitions must demonstrate, using data for the most recent, full marketing year or full official marketing season, a greater than 15-percent decline in at least one of the following factors: national average price, quantity of production, value of production, or cash receipts. According to the statute, it is also necessary for the petition to demonstrate that an increase in imports of like or directly competitive articles, during the same marketing period, contributed importantly to the decrease in one of the above factors for the agricultural commodity. All petitions were analyzed by USDA's Economic Research Service and reviewed by the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers Program Review Committee, comprised of representatives from USDA's Office of the Chief Economist, Farm Service Agency, Agricultural Marketing Service, and FAS. After a review, the Administrator determined that the petition was unable to demonstrate the 'greater than 15-percent decline' criterion, because it showed only a 12.5- percent decline in the average annual price for 2009/2010, when compared to the previous 3-year period. Additionally, the import data provided for the same time period showed a 6.1- percent decrease, instead of the required increase, under the program. Because the petition was unable to meet the 'greater than 15-percent decline' criterion and the 'increase in imports' criterion, the Administrator was not able to certify the petition, making coffee producers in Puerto Rico ineligible for trade adjustment assistance in FY 2011 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers Program staff, Office of Trade Programs, USDA; or by phone at (202) 720–0638 or (202) 690–0633; or by email at: firstname.lastname@example.com; or visit the TAA for Farmers' Web site at: http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/taa. Dated: September 20, 2010 John D. Brewer, Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service. [FR Doc. 2010–24306 Filed 9–27–10; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3410–10–P
