The Knucklehead of the Day award
Today's winner is former Senator and Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards. He gets the award for the following.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Thursday that a staff member for former Sen. John Edwards — a vocal critic of the retailer — asked his local Wal-Mart store for help in getting the potential 2008 presidential candidate a Sony PlayStation 3. Edwards said it was true, but a mistake on the staffer's part.Edwards is an obvious hypocrite for his stance against Wal-Mart while at the same time wanting to purchase a product at the store chain. His blaming an assistant is just as lame as he is. All of this makes John Edwards today's Knucklehead of the Day.
Edwards told The Associated Press that the volunteer "feels terrible" about seeking the game unit at Wal-Mart a day after his boss criticized the company, saying it doesn't treat its employees fairly.
"My wife, Elizabeth, wanted to get a Playstation3 for my young children. She mentioned it in front of one of my staff people," Edwards said. "That staff person mentioned it in front of a volunteer who said he would make an effort to get one. He was making an effort to go get one for himself.
"Elizabeth and I knew nothing about this. He feels terrible about this. He made a mistake, and he knows he should not have used my name," Edwards said.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Line 5 where it crosses at the Straits of Mackinac. At the Straits, the oil and liquid natural gas pipeline splits into two smaller diameter pipelines to make the underwater crossing. Knitting a better mitten: How nature-inspired design can save Michigan By Matt Grocoff • Apr 25, 2016 Jim Sorbie / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 The Next Idea If the first Industrial Revolution was characterized by centralization of our water, energy, food and organizational infrastructures, then the next Industrial Revolution will be characterized by the decentralization of these human-designed systems. Biomimicry, innovation inspired by nature, will be our framework for sustainable solutions to human challenges. Imperial Oil monitoring small spill into St. Clair River By Will Greenberg • Apr 22, 2016 user cseeman / Flickr UPDATED at 4:30 pm on 4/22/16 Imperial Oil of Canada is still tracking chemical levels in the St. Clair River after a spill earlier this week. The company announced that Tuesday night an unknown amount of low-concentration hydrochloric acid overflowed into the river. Testing shows no negative impacts, the company said. Bill would sack local bans on plastic bags By Rebecca Kruth • Apr 22, 2016 velkr0 / Creative Commons http://michrad.io/1LXrdJM Local bans on plastic grocery bags wouldn't be permitted, under a bill in the state Senate. The bill would block local ordinances that regulate bags, take-out food containers and other types of packaging. Sen. Jim Stamas, R-Midland, says the bill would allow the state to set one standard for plastic bags and other materials, as opposed to "piecemeal" bans that vary between communities. As summer approaches, effort to stop oak disease continues By Jennifer Calfas & Rebecca Kruth • Apr 4, 2016 Courtesy of Michigan's Department of National Resources With the weather warming up, trees around the state will soon fill with leaves again. But not for some red oak trees in the state. Oak wilt, an invasive fungal disease that can easily kill red oak trees, has spread to trees across the state, mainly in northern Michigan. Once infected with oak wilt, red oak trees die within three weeks of infection — and there's no treatment for the disease once it has spread. Crowdsourcing effort seeks to buy land to protect "true wilderness experience" in U.P. By Josh Hakala • Mar 30, 2016 Save The Wild UP / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 A Michigan-based environmental organization is taking a new approach to protect a patch of land near the Yellow Dog River in northern Marquette County in the Upper Peninsula. The Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve started a crowd funding campaign to raise money to purchase the 695-acre property to protect it from development. Emily Whittaker, the special projects manager at the Yellow Dog Watershed Preserve joined Stateside to talk about the Yellow Dog River Community Forest campaign and what makes the land so special.

DEQ official responds to concerns over Ann Arbor dioxane plume clean-up, standards By Josh Hakala • Feb 19, 2016 City of Ann Arbor On Thursday, three Ann Arbor officials joined Stateside to talk about the dioxane plume that is working its way toward the city's main drinking water supply. Weak standards on dioxane plume clean-up could threaten Ann Arbor drinking water By Josh Hakala • Feb 18, 2016 Ewashtenaw.org: http://bit.ly/1XCy6qr / Washtenaw County For the last 30 years, a plume of a colorless, odorless toxic chemical has been steadily creeping toward one of the main water supplies in the city of Ann Arbor. Can Flint crisis inspire better water systems for all of us? By Matt Grocoff • Feb 15, 2016 Photo by Marcin Szczepanski The Next Idea There are lingering fears that nothing will be the same in Flint. But maybe things shouldn't be the same. What if there is a better way for Flint and other cities to harvest and deliver life-enhancing water? People across the nation are judging Flint as an epic failure of leadership and poor choices. There is no doubt that Flint's water crisis is an unqualified failure of democracy, but it is also a century-old failure of design and systems thinking. Why cities like Flint transport water using pipes made with a poison By Josh Hakala • Feb 5, 2016 Mitch Barrie / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 The Flint water crisis has attracted attention and outrage from all over the globe, but unfortunately, the city of Flint isn't the first to have its population affected by lead. Due to the age and condition of lead water lines, it's entirely possible that other cities around the country are currently suffering from elevated lead levels. The most recent large-scale example of lead poisoning was discovered in 2001 in Washington D.C. Flint mayor: City will remove lead service lines to "high risk homes" By Kate Wells • Feb 2, 2016 Kate Wells/Michigan Radio Flint will start replacing lead service lines connected to homes with pregnant women or kids under the age of six. That's according to Mayor Karen Weaver, who said those are the "highest risk" homes in the city. But she isn't saying how many homes that will be, or how much it'll cost. That could be because the city doesn't really know yet. Report on danger in toys finds fewer lead problems, but other hazards remain By Sarah Cwiek • Nov 30, 2015 user Ubcule / wikimedia commons An annual report from the Public Interest Research Group on potentially hazardous toys highlights some big safety improvements—and new dangers. PIRG's annual survey examined hundreds of toys for a number of potential hazards. None of the toys this year tested positive for lead, but three did test positive for another restricted metal—chromium. Dr. Jaime Hope, an emergency medicine specialist at Beaumont Hospital, says regulations are making some toy makers more creative. Only venomous rattlesnake in Michigan could be the next endangered species By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Nov 13, 2015 Steven Parrish / Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum, the University of Michigan The Eastern Massasauga — the sole rattlesnake to inhabit the state of Michigan — is facing rapid population loss that's prompting national concern for Michigan wildlife. In September 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to list the snake as a "threatened species" under the Endangered Species Act, which would qualify the snake for national funds to help preserve the species. Humane Society of Huron Valley wants to stop Ann Arbor deer cull By Tracy Samilton • Oct 15, 2015 Jerry Oldenettel / Flickr "Who teaches kids to kill?"

Detroit company poised to revolutionize how cities manage stormwater By Samuel Molnar • Aug 22, 2015 All photos by Marvin Shaouni Andrew Niemcyzk worked for years as a coal miner in his native Poland, during which time he would examine the mine's earthen walls and think about the way water was moving from the surface deep into the ground. He didn't know it then, but that curiosity would lead to the establishment of Parjana, a Detroit company that is poised to change the way the whole world manages water. Parjana's true origins, however, are in a wet Hamtramck basement. Vacationing in the trees: How forests are helping to grow Michigan's tourism economy By Natalie Burg • Aug 21, 2015 Beth Price / IMG Media - Second Wave When you think of Traverse City tourism, what comes to mind? Beautiful beaches? Wineries? Great food? Sand dunes? How about well-maintained forests? Though trees may not be the first thing that comes to mind—besides cherry trees, of course—healthy forests are becoming an important part of Traverse City's most important industry. And the same is true of other Michigan cities, where a dependence on forest-based tourism is growing. Supreme Court rules EPA must consider costs when deciding to regulate mercury pollution By Mark Brush • Jun 29, 2015 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio The U.S. Supreme Court agreed with the state of Michigan, and many other states and industry groups, in their challenge to emissions rules from the Environmental Protection Agency. They argued that the EPA should consider the costs and benefits of regulating mercury pollution from power plants. Keeping pace with the environment By Jack Lessenberry • Jun 8, 2015 Listen Listening... / 3:06 Jack Lessenberry talks about the environment and it's impact on the economy. Michigan has thousands of old, energy-inefficient factories, apartment complexes and office buildings. Nationally, the U.S. government estimates that the average building wastes a third of the energy it uses. My guess is that figure may be even higher here. How important is that? Natural gas set to play major role in Michigan's energy mix By Associated Press • May 16, 2015 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Experts say that with at least nine coal plants in Michigan slated to shut down in the next 10 months, natural gas is the likely replacement as the primary source for generating energy. But they are not predicting a large increase in natural gas production in the state. Instead, they say there likely will be more pipelines and other infrastructure built to import more natural gas from nearby Ohio and Pennsylvania. Michigan, US appealing judge's ruling on Great Lakes wolves By The Associated Press • Feb 27, 2015 USFWS / Flickr TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Michigan is joining the federal government in appealing a decision that restores legal protections for gray wolves in the western Great Lakes region. Federal Judge Beryl Howell ruled in December that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service erred by dropping the region's wolf population from the list of endangered and threatened species in 2012. Watching the record books as cold temps bring more ice to the Great Lakes By Mark Brush • Feb 24, 2015 NASA With below freezing and single digit temperatures expected to continue through the week, ice cover on the Great Lakes is expected to continue to increase. We hit a peak for the season yesterday with almost 86% ice cover for the Great Lakes -- that's well above where we were at this time last year (62%). Michigan offers free energy and pollution audits to businesses By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Feb 5, 2015 Corey Seeman / Flickr A state program is offering free help to businesses looking for ways to conserve energy and reduce waste. Teams of retired engineers perform about 100 efficiency audits each year for businesses with 500 or fewer Michigan employees – and for any public institution. Gov. Snyder vetoes bill aimed at eliminating goal of "biodiversity" in forest management By Mark Brush • Jan 15, 2015 user {inercia} / Flickr Today, Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder vetoed a bill that attempted to keep state officials from managing the state's forests and parks for biodiversity. Senate Bill 78 was sponsored by State Senator Tom Casperson, R-Escanaba, and it passed the Michigan Legislature during last year's "lame duck" session. From Gov. Snyder's veto letter: Analysis finds sharp partisan shift and deregulation in Michigan's environmental laws By Rebecca Williams • Jan 15, 2015 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Our environment laws in Michigan have become sharply more partisan in the past 14 years. That statement comes from an analysis by MIRS News in Lansing. Reporter Craig Mauger examined about 200 new laws that the Michigan Legislature enacted from 2000 to 2014. He noted several changes. Environmentalists oppose changing rules on pollution clean-up By Lester Graham • Dec 19, 2014 Mark Brush / Michigan Radio Gov. Rick Snyder is expected to sign legislation that changes pollution clean-up procedures in Michigan. Senate Bill 891 is backed by the Department of Environmental Quality and the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. The DEQ argues too much money is being wasted by the costs of cleaning up inconsequential amounts of pollution. The agency says it should assess risks to human health and use more cost-effective methods when determining pollution clean-up requirements. Leaving some contaminants behind in an area not used by people would allow the agency to deal with more of the clean-ups that do threaten public health, the agency believes. 40 years later, chemical mistake still affects Michigan residents By Stateside Staff • Dec 16, 2014 Courtesy of Jane-Ann Nyerges Listen Listening... / 12:08 Our conversation with Jane-Ann Nyerges It's been over 40 years since the Michigan Chemical Corporation/Velsicol made a catastrophic mistake that affected millions of Michigan residents. The company from St. Louis, Michigan, shipped a toxic flame retardant chemical to the Farm Bureau Service instead of a nutritional supplement. That chemical was PBB or polybrominated biphenyl. PBB was mixed into livestock feed, but it took a year to discover the accident. Millions of consumers ate contaminated milk, meat, and eggs during this time. Jane-Ann Nyerges was one of the farming families whose lives were changed after the PBB contamination. Birds are dying in central Michigan from decades-old DDT pollution By Mark Brush • Dec 16, 2014 Teri Kniffen Listen Listening... / 4:00 Listen to the broadcast version of this story. All this week we're bringing you stories about the chemical company responsible for the PBB tragedy in Michigan. Michigan Chemical accidentally contaminated the state's food supply in the 1970s, but the legacy of that company is still very much with us today. Michigan Chemical – which later became Velsicol Chemical – made more than just PBB, and it left these toxic chemicals behind in St. Louis, Michigan.

A few weeks ago my aunt came to visit us and naturally, there is an interesting story related to this visit. The initial road trip from Louisiana to Rhode Island began in August but she never actually arrived here thanks to historic storms and floods.
This storm system caused her to get stranded in Pennsylvania and then turn around and return home. Once the trauma of that trip began to fade, she decided to fly up and spend Halloween with us. Before she booked the flight, she specified 'Don't let there be any freak storms or cold weather and no snow!' I replied 'Snow on October 27? no way, however, I cannot guarantee that it will not be cold. It is New England after all'.
So what do you think happened when I picked her up from the airport? It was sleeting and two days later we had a record setting Nor'easter. We bundled her up and stuck her in front of the fire place. She thought it was freezing cold (anything below 55 is freezing to a southerner) and was in awe of the storm, ice and snow. To be honest, we were lucky and just missed getting a lot of snow but even the dusting of snow that was left caused us to bundle her up and stick her on a sled.
The kids were not as impressed but had fun with Aunt Janice and all the bundling up we did together. We also began to crave good ol fashion comfort food so when Aunt Janice said she makes a mean mashed potato, our ears perked up.
She told us she makes her potatoes with horseradish and sour cream. We told asked her to get right to it. This recipe will now be a part of our Thanksgiving this year and we will eat it with warm memories.
Mashed Potatoes with Horseradish and Sour Cream (serves 8-10 as side dish)
5 lbs, russet or Yukon gold potatoes
1 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons horseradish
2/3 cup 1% milk
Salt and group black pepper to taste
1. Wash and dry potatoes. Chop the potatoes into 1 inch chunks, place into a large pot and covered with water. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce to a simmer and cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 20 minutes. Drain.
2. Heat the milk in a small pot over medium heat or in the microwave. Pour the milk over the potatoes and with a masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the horseradish and sour cream, combine and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Our family wishes you the warmest and happiest of Thanksgiving. Tell me, what are you thankful for?
Disclosure: As a Mott's Mom, I am compensated for my time.
Mott's would love to hear from you : can't find a flavor of applesauce? want to tell them about your favorite Mott's product? Need to vent? 'Like their Facebook page and comment away!

Happy 26th Birthday, Rihanna!by Free Britney at . Comments
Robyn Rihanna Fenty, best known by just her middle/stage name, is 26 today. The Barbados-bred beauty's career has already spanned more than a decade!
With more than 25 million albums sold and nine #1 hits to her name, the Caribbean queen is, undeniably, one of the most successful female recording artists.
She's achieved that despite (or perhaps because of) significant alterations to her image, shedding her once innocent appeal in favor of ... whatever she is now.
Harder, edgier, hyper-sexual and never afraid to push it farther than almost all of her contemporaries, this is a woman who calls her own shots.
You can say whatever, Rih's gonna do whatever. Yup, you know this.
Number of racy Rihanna photos from Instagram, magazines and paparazzi agencies over the years? Too many to count. Number of f--ks given by her? Zero.
Yet she recently covered Vogue for the third time, proving that whatever you think of the star personally or professionally, her career is lasting and variable.
We wish her a very happy 26th birthday, which we're sure won't involve any alcohol or weed whatsoever, and invite you to click through our photo tribute above!

I'm sure they all make for fun reads though- it's hard for me to not like anything of The Hardy Boys.
What about the Double Danger trilogy? The first book (ONLY the first book) Double Trouble is one of my favs.
I've only read the Lost trilogy but i deffinetly loved it!!!!

Rosemarie Trockel
Drawings, Collages and Book Drafts
29 January - 30 April 2011
Talbot Rice Gallery was the only UK venue for 'Rosemarie Trockel Drawings, Collages and Book Drafts', the largest display of works on paper to date by the internationally renowned artist. The exhibition was a partnership between Talbot Rice Gallery, Kunstmuseum Basel and Kunstmuseum Bonn. Due to the scale of the exhibition, featuring nearly 200 drawings, collages and book drafts, it was hung in all rooms of the gallery.
Within the Academic tradition of Fine Art, drawing was exclusively part of a (predominantly male) artist's preparatory work and training; it was a starting point for a longer process that was intended to result in a fully resolved oil painting, meticulously worked to remove all brush stokes and signs of uncertainty. Within Rosemarie Trockel's contemporary practice this uncertainty has become a central part of a strategy to undermine the authoritative systems that have, and continue to, administer specific representations of reality and prescribe certain subjective positions.
Trockel's 'mistrust' stems from the fact that she has continually encountered opposition within a male dominated art world; although the artist builds upon a strong German artistic context, which includes Joseph Beuys and Martin Kippenberger, she is critical of its implicit machismo. Against an Enlightenment tradition to treat the self as a rational, finite entity, the anthropomorphic figures in Trockel's drawings blur the boundaries between representations of conscious and unconscious, human and animal states.
Since 2004, collages have become a distinct part of Rosemarie Trockel's oeuvre, often allowing her to recombine aspects of her multifaceted practice, which has included photography, film, sculpture and installation. If drawing allows Trockel, "both springboard and experimental space [that] for all its heterogeneity evinces continuities of both form and space" *, then collage allows those forms and spaces to be reworked and re-contextualised.
Rosemarie Trockel has long worked on book drafts - small examples of books that could possibly be produced - which became a central part of her practice. This exhibition marked the first time book drafts have been exhibited so extensively. Bearing a similarity to sketchbooks, they, "reveal much about Trockel's thinking process while keeping the inquisitive reader at a safe distance" **.
Trockel mistrusts the evidence of the pictorial, the clarity and lack of ambiguity of the absolutist approach, and prefers to populate her pictures with chimeras and grotesques that at times seem comical, at times inscrutable
Like her drawings, the book drafts consciously play with expectations and negate easy readings. They open up the possibility of interpreting Trockel's work in a non-linear fashion, seeing them as potential ideas for future works, while simultaneously being a record of her past ideas. These works also suggest art therapy in which fears might be realised and faced. Indeed, the exhibition as a whole seemed to reveal a much deeper set of fears, where all that is repressed by strict systems of representation appears to return.
Rosemarie Trockel (1952) became prominent in the mid 1980s with her now famous 'knitted pictures'. Today Trockel is highly regarded internationally and has won several awards for her sophisticated practice, represented Germany at the Venice Biennale (1999 and 2003) and her work is represented in collections worldwide. Rosemarie Trockel lives and works in Cologne.

text: Hi again folks! I got the new OP506 phototransistors from my friend late last night. He was nice enough to combine with his order and save us the shipping costs. (these parts costs 0.80 each.. shipping would be much more) I just had a chance to test one quickly. So far, it looks pretty encouraging. The setup is an 850nm IR LED pointing at the phototransistor, about 3-5 cm away. I can get a range of current from 0.02mA (nearly dark) to 3.80mA (directly lighted) through the phototransistor. 3.80/0.2 is 190. The light/dark ratio is more than 2 orders of magnitude. I'm not sure, but I think that means we should be able to measure optical loss for 2 orders of magnitude as well. Optical loss is related to Absorption. There is still the challenge of making a holder for these two parts, especially one that we can dip into a liquid culture. The two devices look like 3mm LEDs each with two wires coming out. Any ideas? We also want to come up with a way to calibrate it. Perhaps by starting with distilled water? Let's definitely talk more about it at Monday's meeting! Cheers, -rolf

Lamar Odom: Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde for the Los Angeles Lakers?December 20, 2010
To the joy of all Lakers fans, Andrew Bynum made his return to the court this week. Bynum's impact on the team has been felt immediately. The Lakers have won all four games since Bynum returned last Tuesday night. Once Andrew Bynum is able to regain his timing and conditioning, he will most likely return to the Lakers starting lineup.
This means Lamar Odom will be returning to his role as the Lakers sixth man. Switching back and forth between starter and sixth man is nothing Odom isn't used to. Since Bynum began his string of knee injuries in 2008, Odom has graciously went back and forth between the two roles.
However, what will make the transition a little trickier this time around is the fact Odom is arguably playing the best basketball of his 11-year career. Odom is considered by many to be the team's X-factor. More times than not, when Odom plays well the Lakers win.
On the other hand, Odom has often played inconsistently throughout his career as a Laker. With that being said, this year we have rarely seen Odom's Dr. Jekyll side, and mostly the Mr. Hyde version. The big question on the minds of Lakers fans is: Can he keep up his consistency when he is forced back to being the sixth man?
I believe Odom will continue the hot streak he has exhibited early in the season. Odom has a much more talented group of bench players to work with this season, compared to years past. The stellar play of Shannon Brown, Matt Barnes and Steve Blake has many talking about the Lakers having the best bench in the NBA this season.
I think this will play a huge factor in Odom keeping up his consistent play this season. Odom has seen how well the bench has played this season. Why would he risk letting the bench lose its momentum, and possibly get fingers pointed at him for being the cause?
The only potential downfall is Odom may not feel as much pressure to do well playing with more quality players, which could lead to more up-and-down play from the lanky southpaw.
Something else to consider is Odom has a chance this season to make his first All-Star team. While it may be a long shot, considering all of the talented frontcourt players in the Western Conference, Odom could make the team as a reserve or injury replacement. Odom could use the possibility of making his first All-Star team to continue his hot start.
As history has shown, trying to predict if Odom will play consistently over the course of an entire season is tricky business for Lakers fans. However, with a stellar group of bench players to keep him motivated, and the possibility of making his first All-Star team, fans could be seeing the Mr. Hyde version of Lamar Odom much more this season.

We Love Real
by Emily. Average Reading Time: about a minute.
A red box landed on my desk this morning. A very lovely, bright red box. It was sent to me after I agreed to be one of the 50 founding members of the latest social network We Love Real; the physical network. In a bid to "bring the feeling back to life", We Love Real, in partnership with Royal Mail have created a network that celebrates the physical; that allows users to (literally) post content to a physical plot in London. I'm intrigued.
So, in my lovely, bright red box is a number of envelopes, all pre-paid and addressed to my plot, which I'm told is a metal cage in the ROA Gallery on Pall Mall. The enclosed letter tells me to "start today", to have a look through my purse, bag or wallet and choose something to send, something "with a story".
I'll be honest, it's tricky. My purse is a graveyard of unused loyalty cards and receipts. My bag holds a mixture of rotting apple cores, children's toys and broken pencils. Can I tell a story with these "physical" items as well as I can in 140 characters? Maybe the presence of the physical brings the story to life in a way that Twitter on Facebook just can't? I don't know. I'd like to think so. Because I like this idea. It's bold. And fun. And I'm really really excited to be involved. More excited than I was when I joined Facebook anyway. I just hope people "like" my posts.
If you want to get involved give We Love Real a shout on their twitter page and get posting.

Jim, I've not used Schiff's method, but have a
close acquaintance who's gotten some of his
info. His book Federal Mafia has info on filing
the zero return..he also has a package on
filing W-4's that are exempt, an "Audit" package,
a Levy & Lien package, etc...the whole works.
He has a daily shortwave program on on 9.475,
6:00-7:00 CST monday-friday which is really
helpful..people call in with questions like
yours. To get started, recommend his book but quickest/easiest
is his audio tape (or video tape)of his 4-hour seminar.
Seems to be one of the few (if only one) to claim
to have a solid means to get rid of liens. His
Federal Mafia book (I recall) has an example of
one of Irwin's own zero-returns. There's a start-up
package for I think about $100, and the full-blown
for $500 (?) which includes "reasonable consulting."
Sorry I don't have first-hand experience to relay
but hope this info tidbit helps. I'd just call
his 1-800 number and talk to them. "Jerry" seems to be technically
knowledgable and helpful. Hope to see some
first-hand experience responses at this forum.

Hi all,
I have developed a web application and have found a company that is wanting an exclusive license to manage, market, and sell subscriptions to my web application for me. I'm comfortable with the arrangement, but I'm unsure as to what to charge as a license fee.
I have gotten them to agree to allow me to earn a royalty based on a percentage of the revenue they charge for each subscription. The number that has been thrown out is 30%. So for example, if they sell a subscription for $10 per month, I get $3 per month and they get the rest.
I do not have to put up any money. I will be continuing to develop and enhance the application as well as supporting it technically. However, I will not be providing END USER support. I will provide support to the company that is marketing it. They will deal with the end users.
I will also make myself available to customize the application for any of their customers, however, I'm sure they will charge extra for this, so in essence, I will get extra since I would get 30% of the revenue.
My questions are as follows:
1. Is 30% a fair amount? What's the standard?
2. Does it sound like a good deal to you? Is there anything I should be asking for that I haven't mentioned?
3. Any other comments/suggestions?
Thanks for your input. I welcome it. This is the first time I've had the privelege to do this, so I'm very excited, but want to be sure I do it the right way.

A sixteen-year-old boy leaves a path of destruction as an army of thousands cross the vast Frontier in search of a homeland with plentiful food and water…
At the same time, disturbing visions regarding a massive invasion disrupt Queen Althea's and Prince Kendrick's sleep. The unexpected arrival of the estranged mystical Uncle Richard elevates Althea's fear—as proof of his abilities are revealed when he foretells of their son's difficult birth.
To save his son from a prophesied death, Kendrick and Oscar execute an assassination plot to halt the future invasion of Manshire…
As for Althea… Believing Kendrick and Oscar have died, and running out of time, she must make some quick, defensive decisions based on the vague interpretations of a mystic she does not trust; or lend her ear to her children who have occasionally demonstrated gifts for simple but powerful solutions.
Will it be new schemes, well thought-out tactics, or her children's direction that will ultimately save Manshire?
Or, will Manshire finally fall to an army of thousands?
Prince Argo has arranged the deaths of his older sister and two brothers—and declared himself next to wear the crown.
Now the king, his deceptive and clever planning skills set in motion, hoists a multifaceted revenge scheme to overthrow Manshire Province. Kidnapping Queen Althea's younger sisters initiates a whirlwind sequence of events threatening the lives of the Manshire Queen, the Captain of the Long Bows, the Queen's husband, and the province.
Lieutenant Charles Cromwell, Argo's Field Commander, has trained a militia four times larger than the Manshire Long Bow Knights. His vast battle experience makes him the perfect leader for Argo's scheme.
The scheme is so well planned; the first elusive clues evade Captain Oscar until the ransom letter arrives. Oscar must marshal all of his skills and separate reality from ruse provided by mysterious characters with ties to Argo.
Will Queen Althea, Captain Oscar, and his son, Kendrick, save Manshire from a crushing defeat? On short notice, can they out-think Argo with his well developed plans, and ultimately prevent Argo's blatant assassination threats?
Oscar, trusted knight of the king, is about to be exposed.
Despite abduction, assassination plots, and jealousy, the princess and her true identity has been kept a secret.The king's most distrusted enemy, Archbishop Thomas, has been kept in the dark.
Until now . . .
And time is running out.
The Archbishop has collected every resource he needs to execute his plot, the invaders from the north are raiding deeper into the country, and the king's recent health has become a concern. The truth of the princess becomes even clearer when Kendrick, Oscar's son, meets the princess.
Can Althea's and Kendrick's relationship endure the challenges that threaten them? Will the princess survive long enough to become queen?And what of Oscar, trusted knight of the king?
Will the truth, finally and completely, end his own life as well as the life of his only son?

UPDATE: The National Weather Service at about 10:55 p.m. Sunday extended its blizzard warning, saying it will be in effect until 3 a.m. Tuesday. The service's message at about 4:30 a.m. called the storm a "crippling blizzard" that could drop as much as 18 inches of snow in some places. Snowfall will combine with winds up to 40 mph.
National Weather Service said Sunday that a blizzard arriving in the Texas Panhandle on Sunday night would bring white-out conditions through tonight.
Meteorologist Andrew Moulton said the weather service is expecting at least 8 inches of snow in Amarillo and 30 to 40 mph winds coming out of the north-northwest. He said 60 mph gusts were possible Sunday evening.
"Our main concern with that is the winds are going to ramp up around sunset. That's going to be blowing that snow around," Moulton said. "No matter how much we see, we know that snow is going to be blowing around.
"There's going to be so much snow that the visibility is going to be bad," he said. "It could easily get down to a quarter-mile of visibility or less."
He said the snow should stop falling Monday evening, and sunny skies are expected Tuesday.
According to weather service climate data, Amarillo has had 8.4 inches of snow since Jan. 1.
"Tomorrow looks terrible everywhere in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles," Moulton said. "Twenty-four hours of just ugly weather."
Paul Braun, Texas Department of Transportation's
Amarillo office spokesman, said the department will be ready for the blizzard.
"We know we've got bad weather coming, and it's going to affect the whole region," he said. "We have plenty of resources. We'll be fine."
Texas Department of Public Safety officials highly discouraged travel in the Texas Panhandle.
"I-40 east of Amarillo is expected to have snow totals of 8 to 14 inches and 5 to 9 inches west of Amarillo," trooper Gabriel Medrano said in an email. "I-27 is also expected to have snow totals between 5 and 9 inches.
"This combined with winds gusting up to 60 mph will cause extremely hazardous whiteout driving conditions. The hazardous driving conditions could slow emergency response times to crash scenes or stranded motorists calls."
Nick Rocha, a member of American Red Cross' Amarillo Disaster Assistance team, said their shelter at 1601 W. Interstate 40 is open.
"We're ready for it, and depending on the situation, we've got more shelters on standby," he said.
Moulton said this snowfall might not make a huge dent in the drought conditions, but it could help.
"It's not going to make a massive impact on the drought, but if the above-average precipitation keeps up, drought conditions will improve," he said.
Xcel Energy spkoesman Wes Reeves said Xcel has mobilized 44 additional line and service workers in in the Amarillo area in preperation for the coming blizzard.
"Personnel in the Lubbock and Plainview districts are on standby, but won't be shifted northward until we know the impact of the storm on the South Plains," he said. "As the impact of the storm becomes clear, we can shift resources to where they're needed most."
The blizzard sent droves of Amarilloans to area supermarkets to stock up on food.
"I went at the last minute to get some things," teacher Margaret Carstarphen said. "I'd rather not drive in (the blizzard) if I can avoid it."
Brettanny Utsey, 26, went to the supermarket for "last-minute, after-work shopping."
"I planned on going shopping tomorrow, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen," she said.
Mario Delgado, 57, ran out to get milk.
"I got all the good stuff like soup and peanut butter the other day," he said. "We're used to it here.
"I'ved lived here most of my life," Delgado said. "As long as you got plenty of clothes and the right kind of shoes, you'll be alright."

Post subject: Is parking domain is good business
I have listened about parking website domain name and it is a good business for future. Is it really a good business for future or just it is wasting time and money. How does we can generate money from parked domain name, who will buy this domain, why they will buy domain, where to sell domain, these questions are in my mind. What will be the risk factors for this business. Some of my friends told me about this work, but i am not sure to get business and money from parking domain name. Is some one is getting money from this business please explain me, how to start this domain parking business.

Today almost all domain is already booked, Still you have chance. No one know about future of web. You have to study lot on domain name, value of domain name, industry belongs to your domain name. Everything you have to thing very deeply.
I think every business have a risk and domain parking is also too risking. If domain is good and it can easily sell on internet, otherwise have to wait for long.
Check Premium Domain Names in
and others website who provide domain registration.
Normally it starts from $1,888.00 and goes upto ********
It totally depends upon your thinking and research work, which industry in boom like factor.
It can more risky if investing more highly on domain parking.
where can sell and acquire domain name

I like to visit my mailbox each day. It's a little retreat to one of the "slow paced" things in life… and the surprises that might be hidden inside. And I like to send those gifts of love in the mail whenever I can!
So when I stumbled upon the "Super Sender" greeting card club at TinyPrints, I really thought it was too good to be true. You get 3 free cards when you sign up, and then each additional card you send is only $1.99 ($2.61 total when you mail it with a stamp to your recipient). Oh, and you can schedule the exact day you want it to arrive, add pictures galore, personalize almost every detail of the card, and it's on super thick cardstock that would rival the quality of most store-bought cards that are double the price?
Yeah… you can see why I thought this was a total hoax.
For the year, the "membership" cost will be $17… but that includes 3 free cards as well. So, essentially it'll cost less than $10 to send out cards at $1.99 each, so I break even with the subscription after 5 cards! (Other companies have cards too… but they cost $3.99 each with shipping).
And let me tell you… in just 3 months, I've already sent 7 cards! It's addicting… but oh so worth it!
For Mother's Day:
For Easter:
For Birthdays:
Oh… and there are plenty of formats that don't even need pictures (like the one above), but you can still personalize the names and greetings on the cards.
Let's just say that this has revolutionized my love/hate relationship with the post office, stamps and the insane price of cards that you find in the stores with the crowns or the bulls-eye.
If you're a mom and need to send out photos and greetings from kids, you need to visit TinyPrints. If you're the friend who never forgets a birthday, you need to visit TinyPrints. If you just want to be awesome and make someone smile the next time they visit their mailbox, you need to visit TinyPrints.

I ****** My Friends SisterThis happened years before I met my girlfriend now..
I worked for a retail company back in the 90's and naturally there is always someone who you click with right away. His name was Robert. During my 5 years with this company I became friendly with a lot of the co-workers but Robert was the coolest. After work sometimes I would see his grandparents pick him up from work along with Roberts sister Sonia who I could tell had a crush on me but she was 15 at the time so I tried not to think about her but she was really attractive. Five years later I found a different job so it was time to move on. I wasn't sure if Robert wanted to be friends outside of work so I just said goodbye to everyone but Robert insisted that I stay in contact so I did.
A year later Robert and his family planned to move 1 state away but me and him were damn near best friends at this point so I felt bad. He suggested that I transfer jobs to his location and stay at his grandparents place until I find my own. So as crazy as that sounds I did. At the same time I was able to save a ton of cash so it worked out pretty well. By this time his sister Sonia was 20 years old and blossomed beautifully. While we were eating dinner on a few occasions Sonia would be on the other side of the table and of course she started sliding her foot up my leg without anyone knowing. I would look at her and she would smile. I got super excited because she was so attractive and obviously a freak but I kept saying that I can't **** her because me and Robert are friends. She even flashed me when nobody was around but I kept my composure.
One day Robert was online for hours and his grandparents were not home. Sonia comes out of nowhere and grabs me so we playfully started wrestling. She actually was pretty strong so it was even more fun but I finally picked her up and threw her on the couch. We were laughing and making enough noise to get Roberts attention but he never came downstairs to check on us. We started wrestling some more then all of a sudden Sonia gets up and storms out of the house barefoot. I got scared thinking that I might have touched her wrong and made her upset. I chased her down and asked what was wrong. Sonia looked at me with the sexiest look in her eyes and says," You made me hot." I was hard as a rock myself but I hid it from her. I told Sonia that me and Robert are friends so as much as I would like to **** her I couldn't. As we walked back to the house and went inside I said goodnight to Sonia. She immediately said," You aren't going anywhere! You are gonna finish me off before I go to bed." She started tongue kissing me after that and I tried to resist but the animal in me took over. I stopped her and said let's wait until everyone is asleep tonight. Sonia had a better idea. She told me to surprise her when she takes a late shower.
Me and Robert slept in the same room but luckily I was near the door so as soon as I heard Sonia in the shower like at 12:00am I carefully crept out of the room and into the bathroom. Sonia was definitely surprised thinking I really wasn't going to go through with it. I was in shock at how her Puerto Rican body was so toned and curvy with a gorgeous *** and natural long curly hair so the wet look for her is even more of a turn-on. She had an abnormally huge ***** though but it was neat and shaved bald. I got my clothes off in like 5 seconds then got in the shower with her. We were kissing for so long while I caressed her *** then she finally told me to **** her. I bent her over doggy-style and started to pound her lightly. Understand that I was excited but nervous at the same time because I didn't want to wake anyone + the fact that I saw her grow into a woman and I was now inside of her. I had the perfect view of my **** going in and out while squeezing her gorgeous *** to a hard ******. I had to cover her mouth for a few seconds when she came. After that we switched positions while the shower was still going and ****** missionary. I played with her ***** while I hit it semi hard to avoid the sounds that the water makes but it did anyway. The sound of her ******* again made me *** so I pulled out of her ***** and sprayed all over her stomach and ****. It had been a long time for me without sex so I came a ton. I came so much Sonia started laughing and said,"Daaaammmnnn!" After that she confessed to wanting to have sex with me when she first met me at 15 years old but knew that I wouldn't. I told her that I was happy that we finally did but we had to keep it between us and of course she agreed saying we have to do this again.
The next day her grandmother said she heard the shower on for a long time and asked who was in there. Right away Sonia said it was her and she needed a long shower but her grandmother knew something was up. She looked at me differently from that day forward.

Premier League: West Ham co-owner David Gold did not deliberately or intentionally endorse Sam Allardyce tweet
Last Updated: 29/07/14 5:49pm
West Ham co-owner David Gold has denied attempting to undermine manager Sam Allardyce's position by favouriting a tweet from a fan on Monday.
The message sent to Gold by the fan read: "Is today the day we get rid of BFS?? @davidgold fingers crossed."
Gold's subsequent favouriting of the tweet increased speculation that Allardyce - BFS is a derogatory nickname bestowed upon him by unhappy supporters - was heading for the Upton Park exit and saw his odds to be the first Premier League manager to be sacked this season slashed.
However, Gold took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to stress his actions had been an error due to jet lag following a long flight from New Zealand, where the Hammers lost both matches on their pre-season tour.
He tweeted: "After a 33-hour flight from New Zealand, I was in my car scanning through my tweets and it seems I accidently favourited one.
"It has made some of the papers today so I should clarify that I did not and would never deliberately or intentionally endorse a tweet that questions our manager's position.
"Lesson: don't use twitter when you're jet lagged!"
Allardyce, 59, is out of contract next summer and his long-ball tactics have consistently come under fire from West Ham fans.
His preparations for the forthcoming Premier League campaign also suffered a major blow at the weekend when striker Andy Carroll was ruled out for four months with a heel problem.

Chef Yannick Alléno, recipient of three Michelin stars, adores New York hot dogs. According to a piece in the NYT Dining section, he loves the hot dog so much that he wanted to make a French version, out of calf heads. Instead of calling it literally a "chien chaud," he opted for truth in labeling, going with "veau chaud" (hot calf). Site reader Caleb Ganzer writes in to see if we might try to pair it up. And to that we reply "fo sho with the veau chaud"
So here's a bit more on the dish that can be eaten without a plate. The nine-inch sausage is made from "edible bits of a cooked calf head, or tête de veau" (brains and eyes excluded). Served on a mulitgrain (!) baguette, the dog, or calf, is topped with gribiche sauce, which is a vinaigrette with capers, cornichons, and hard boiled egg, herbs and mustard.
"I have adapted the 'dog' to the true ambience of Paris," Alléno told the Times. "There is nothing more Parisian than tête de veau."
And there's nothing more French than wine! So which wine would you pair with it? Or is it…impossible?!?
Over the weekend I was out to dinner at a nice restaurant and encountered something I hadn't seen for a while: the iceberg wedge slathered in blue cheese and bits of bacon. I told my cousin sitting next to me that I was surprised to see this retro dish on the menu, remarking that the last place I had read about it was when Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft with a net worth of $14 billion, was "dipping bits of iceberg lettuce into a ramekin of blue cheese dressing" at his canteen, a private dining room at a Seattle steakhouse. My cousin assured me that is coming back thought not as comfort food as I had suspected, but as an ironic appetizer. Yes, ironic!
Well, no matter why it's coming back, the dish is appearing on tables again. And if that's the case, then let's help the Steve Ballmer and others. Which wine would you pair with an iceberg wedge and blue cheese dressing (bacon optional)? Or does that blue cheese dressing make it…impossible?

Is food-wine pairing dead? Never! And the same is true of our "impossible" pairings. So by request, we kick off 2012 with an easy one for you: grilled cheese.
Yes, it's comfort food. And, no, it's not impossible as the bread-cheese duo is the basis of so many delicious staples from pizza to ravioli. So raise the degree of difficulty, if you so desire, by adding a twist to the classic by suggesting your favorite cheese. (Incidentally, Ruth Reichl gave some tips last week on Gilt Taste about how to make grilled cheese better, including grating the cheese and adding a thin layer of mayo!) Who knows, maybe your grilled cheese will be graced by a depiction of the Virgin Mary it and you can sell it for $28k on eBay!
Bryan, who asked the question originally, said he went with Australian cheddar and a Simon Bize Savigny-les-Beaune 2009. How would you spin it?
My wife has a dilemma: she loves red wine and she is a vegetarian. Granted, by picking the right reds–lighter varieties such as pinot noir, gamay, or poulsard–or the right vegetables–mushrooms or lentils–the problems are surmountable and the results rewarding. Nonetheless, my wife represents what may well be a growing number of Americans who eat less or no meat, urged on by Michael Pollan ("Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.") and Mark Bittman (who recently suggested eating a vegan diet once a week). Heck, there are even vegan bodybuilders! (I also eat a mostly vegetarian diet but enjoy whites more than my wife, which reduces the food-wine pairing dilemma.)
Many wine enthusiasts have drawn a line in the pomace and said no to wines over a certain alcohol percentage. But the changing food preferences of Americans may represent the greater challenge to high-octane reds since they generally make for lousy partners with seafood, lighter, or plant-based fare. And don't forget spice. Much Indian food is vegetarian and spicy; dousing it with a 15% Chateauneuf du Pape sounds to me more like a recipe for pain, not pleasure. The big reds are easy to pair with the fat and protein of grilled meat but if Americans are feasting less on flesh, the treacly cabernet producers of the world face a challenge (as do the oak barrel makers of the world).
Charlie Trotter is one chef who put vegetarian cuisine literally on equal footing with meats since diners at his restaurant had a choice of either a meat menu or non-meat menu. So with news this week that he is closing his restaurant in August after 25 years, it seemed timely to broach the subject of how a vegetarian diet could impact the wine world. My wife and I have fond memories of Charlie Trotter's since we lived in the adjacent building after we were married. One dinner we had there that highlighted the difficulties of vegetarian pairings was an all-tomato menu, a challenge for any wine, but particularly challenging to wash down with young Cabernet (unfortunately, I can't recall what we had).
Anyway, with bacon-drenched everything appearing these days (ice cream, vodka, toothpaste, and the "explosion"), it's not as if vegetarians are "occupying" the dining rooms of the world's finest restaurants. But eating less meat appears to have taken hold in America and, for the wines that people actually drink wine (as opposed to collecting and flipping it), this will likely have an impact.
A team from National Geographic ventures into a pharmacy in Hong Kong. They try to discern the medicinal from the "magic potions."
Bringing back memories of The Great White North, they crack open a bottle of mouse wine–yes, it is what you think it is. Then they sample three penis wine described as "a delicate blend of dog, deer, and seal penis" that helps kidneys and "male sexual power." They describe it as "creamier" than the mouse wine. Go figure.
We usually try to pair wines with wacky foods, but what dish would you pair with three penis wine? Or is it too hard, nay, impossible?!?!

With gold at $1,800, Ron Paul polling third among the Republican candidates, and people flocking to a wine cellar for safety, is it any wonder that Costco is currently marketing a one year's supply of food? Called Shelf Reliance THRIVE, it's dehydrated, freeze-dried, and comes in big cans. All the better for storing in your bunker! (One commenter points out that it's a lean 1,220 calories a day amortized over a whole year. And the ability to boil water is required for some of them!)
So, if you had to tuck away a year's supply of wine to pair with such delicacies as Taco TVP–textured vegetable protein–what would it be? Or is it…impossible?!? Given that all the food costs $799, ratchet up the degree of difficulty by trying to keep under that number. (Needless to say, a $10 bottle every night in your bunker would cost $3,650 for a year.)
"When I was pregnant, I just craved organs…so the placenta just made sense."
So a new mother is quoted in a New York magazine article on cooking placenta. No, not polenta–placenta. I've never delivered a placenta personally, so maybe that's why I find it a little difficult to, erm, swallow. But the NYmag story highlights various preparations including raw, popped in the blender with coconut water and banana, stewed with ginger, lemon, and a jalapeño pepper, and even pill form.
So let's help the new mothers (and new fathers?) out there as only enophiles can with the fruit of their own labor and the fruits of the vine: which wine would you pair with placenta–or is it impossible?!?

Ah, Iowa. Every four years, politicians stampede your county fairs, kissing babies, shaking hands and eating fried foods. This year provides the spectacle of a raft of socially conservative Republican contenders chowing down on foot-long corn dogs. Doesn't the Bible say something about that? Anyway, let's help them as only enophiles can: which wine would you pair with corn dog on a stick…or is it impossible?!?

6 Stats on Why Small Business Owners Need Paycheck Protection AKA Disability Insurance
As a health, life, and disability insurance agent covering Raleigh, Durham, and the surrounding areas, I meet regularly with small business owners. Many of these small business owners do not own disability insurance. Here are some stats from the Council of Disability Awareness:
1. Over 36 million Americans are classified as disabled; about 12% of the total population. More than 50% of those disabled Americans are in their working years, from 18-64.
2. The average long-term disability claim duration is 31.2 months.
3. One in eight workers will be disabled for five years or more during their working careers.
4. Medical problems contributed to 62% of all personal bankruptcies filed in the U.S. in 2007, a 49.6% increase over results from a similar 2001 study.
5. The average SSDI monthly benefit payment was $1,190 for males, and $928 for females.
6. Less than 5% of disabling accidents and illnesses are work related. The other 95% are not, meaning Workers' Compensation doesn't cover them.
To my small business owner friends: Can you afford to go 31.2 months without a paycheck? Can you support yourself and your family on about $1000 a month? If the answer is no to either of these questions, please talk to me about disability insurance. Its not as expensive as you might think and there's even a disability plan which will refund all your premiums if you don't use it. Your ability to earn an income is your largest asset - make sure its insured.
Top 3 Reason Why Parents Should Buy Life Insurance for Their Children
"I don't want to think about my child dying" is what I hear many times, and I don't want to think about MY child dying either. So why should we buy life insurance for our children?
1. Think of life insurance as an investment in their future. We're giving our child a financial head start when we do it and believe it or not, in many cases we can do that for around 7 cents a day! Can't do much for 7 cents a day any more.
2. To protect their insurability. Depending on the policy and the carrier, your child may have the ability to continue to buy additional life insurance throughout their life at standard rates regardless of their health history. I can tell you from experience this is BIG!
3. Lock in low premiums on permanent plans. Its very inexpensive to purchase permanent plans for children. I recently spoke with a grandparent who had purchased their grandchild a permanent plan several years ago. The cost was around $30 a month, and now today the grandchild has over $20,000 of cash value they can use for college. (And this cash value doesn't count against them when completing a student loan and/or scholarship application nor does using the cash value cancel the plan.)
Just a little tidbit to think about - 17% of American children are overweight. This puts them at a higher risk for health problems that could last their lifetime and affect their insurability.

A lakefront development plan for the boat works site in White Bear Lake is back before the city, two months after it had been rejected in a council vote.
The $19 million BoatWorks Commons proposal from Lander Group and @Home Apartments is looking for a permit and two variances to move forward on plans for 85 market-rate apartments, a 231-space parking structure under the apartments, a 3,000-square-foot restaurant, a 1,600-square-foot community room and 15,000 square feet of green space on a 1.58-acre parcel.
The application for the permit and variances was recommended for approval by the planning commission after a Jan. 30 public hearing.
The proposal – largely unchanged since its last tour through city hall – comes before council tonight.
The earlier plan was voted down in November, with the city council failing to approve a key development permit.
Council voted 3-2 in support of the permit, but the vote required a super majority – 4 or more in favor – in part because the project wouldn't have been subject to current zoning regulations for the site.
Current zoning calls for a maximum building height of 36 feet and 330 parking spaces. The Landers Group plan shows a 45-foot apartment building along with the 231 spaces.
Jim Markoe, a White Bear Lake resident and critic of the project said the plans call for "an urban level of development on a non-urban setting."
The parcel is part of the larger Marina Triangle, which the city has eyed for redevelopment for years.
"You could build 500 units plus on the surrounding 10 acres at that density," Markoe said. "It's the precedent set that I'm worried about."
Anne Kane, the city's development director, said the conditional use permit differs from the planned unit development in that the CUP requires the developer to get variances to diverge from zoning regulations, where the PUD did not.
Another big difference? The current proposal only needs a simple majority vote, or a 3-2 split on council. When the council voted in November, it did vote 3-2 – but the PUD required a super majority, or a 4-1 split, so the proposal was rejected.
The council meeting starts at 7 p.m. tonight at City Hall, 4701 U.S. 61.

Directed by Fabrice Du Welz, 2004
I'm at a loss for words when it comes to properly describing the Belgian gem of filmmaking that is The Ordeal. Though the term is so generic these days, the best way to put it is simply to call it 'art house horror'. Welz's film is a remarkably surreal experience to watch, with hypnotic cinematography, refrained yet surprisingly brisk pacing and truly phantasmagorical moments.
It begins with Marc, an amateur singer leaving to perform at a Christmas show somewhere in the 'south'. Naturally, his van breaks down in the middle of nowhere. While trying to sort out the situation, he comes across Boris, an out-of-his-head local who is wandering the pitch black forest (in the middle of a rain storm, no less) looking for his lost dog. Boris leads Marc to a nearby Inn where he can stay for the night. Bartel, the Inn's lone owner, takes an immediate liking to Marc since he used to be something of an artist himself.
The first 30 minutes are structurally familiar to the genre as the man Marc is dependent upon goes through the motions of trying to contact a mechanic, but to no avail. Things take an abrupt left turn towards insanity when Marc happens upon a group of locals in a barn. Welz never lets you get a good enough look at what exactly is happening, but suffice to say the locals are intimately breaking the species boundary. And so Marc's unfortunate descent into the ordeal begins.
Everything is as the viewer suspected. Bartel never called the mechanic. After a psychological break, Bartel is convinced that Marc is really his wife who abandoned him years earlier. He knocks him out, puts him in a dress, partially shaves his head and goes about his life like nothing is out of the ordinary. And that, my friends, is only a sampling of the truly bizarre events that are about to unfold.
I'm not going to call The Ordeal a masterpiece, but it is a tremendous piece of filmmaking. It is visionary. The visuals are rich and inspired, while the sound design is wholly unsettling (the squeals of swine and men become almost indecipherable by its closure). It's the kind of film where, whether or not you actually are enjoying the style, you just know it is exactly what the director wanted. Regardless of how out of place some scenes may appear – and there is an hilariously awkward scene in which a tavern full of grungy men dance together to a hectic piece of piano music – it still all works. All of the constantly spinning gears of this ethereal machine interlock seamlessly. The end of the film is so surreal that for the last 25 minutes or so I was sitting upright with a degree of perfect posture I didn't know I was capable of. I was devouring all of its brazen style and oddball tactics with a frenzy. I can get into movies, but it is rare that they command my attention as deftly as Welz did with the end of The Ordeal.
Saying that this film isn't your typical horror movie or that it isn't for everyone is a cruel understatement. It isn't psychological horror in the same sense as something like The Dark Hours. This movie is psychologically damaging, for both its unfortunate victim and the viewer (is there a difference?). It's a truly unique experience that would be more at home if it were being projected onto the wall of the Hirschhorn than on your local Indie theater's screen.
