R for enterprise?
Norman Nie, co-creator of SPSS (acquired by IBM for $1.2 billion last summer), and his group Revolution Analytics aim to bring analysis to a wider audience with a product built on top of R, the popular statistical computing language. They call it Revolution R.
Noted in a recent Forbes article:
R is a powerful tool but difficult for novices to use. Nie's Revolution Analytics aims to make it more accessible with a better-organized library, capabilities for bigger jobs and a user interface that lets users drag and drop statistical analyses into place, outputting easily read charts.
The rest of the article is about Nie, the growing importance of data, etc.
I'm curious. Has anyone tried Revolution R? They say that it has "faster performance and greater stability" than base R. Is it that much better?
[Thanks, Victoria]

I used it briefly. For some reason I wasn't able to simply install the RMySQL package on it, so I've scrapped it for now. Nothing wrong with trusty ol', regular R. I imagine they are doing some pretty cool stuff though. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on what they have to offer.
They are doing some interesting stuff to make R work 'painlessly' on clusters and the like– and split large calculations across nodes, and apparently improved Math libraries. Really stuff you wont notice unless you are using 'BIG' data
On some platforms they have a nicer IDE and some web integration tools for R.
Oh and for an academic the full version is free (so I was planning on giving it a go…. when I fix our server).
Regarding… things not working (e.g. RMySQL).. it's always been my experience with bleeding edge R that glitches happen and get sorted after a bit. I always install a new version and keep the old for a few weeks till fixes trickle through the community. Best do the same with Revolution.
I installed it since there is a free license for academic users. Unfortunately it only runs on Windows and Redhat…
Revolution R is more of an IDE for R than anything else. Given how it is billed in the Forbes article was was expected a better version of Rcmdr or something that would be familiar to SPSS users.
I work for Revolution Analytics, editing the Revolutions blog. Thanks for the mention, Nathan.
The faster performance of Revolution R comes from the fact that Revolution R is compiled to link with the multithreaded Intel MKL libraries. Basically, this means that for linear albegra and matrix functions (which is what many of the stats functions in R boil down to), R will use optimized algorithms *and* use all available processors if you have more than one. You can see some the comparisons with regular R (which ordinarily only uses one processor on Windows) in these benchmarks.
I'd also mention that we have big plans to enhanced Revolution R further, with more support for really large data sets and an easy-to-use GUI. We're released some of the details in this paper.
Finally, as mentioned above, if you're in academia you can download our full commercial edition, Revolution R Enterprise free here.
Sweet! We can only hope that the UI is as sexy as SPSS.
The one thing I like about R is that it strips away all the junk native in SPSS. Software that focused on UI could dominate this space. SAS, SPSS and any/all other alternatives would go straight down the drain. Give a cohort of grad students (5-10 years) a chance to use it and its game over.
So they want to make a free SPSS-like version of R now? Well, I am pretty sure they will charge for it. Of course R is not as easy to use as SPSS but it is so flexible and for free which makes it great.

My friend Pablo told me that when Monica, a partner, called his home at 9:00 p.m., he knew it couldn't be good. Why not email? For an instant, he considered letting the call go to voicemail. Taking a deep breath, he answered.
Monica wanted to know "where he was" with the brief Pablo had been working on. She had not given him any particular deadline, so he explained that he expected to circulate the draft for review the following evening. The brief was a motion to dismiss, and he knew the deadline to file was still two weeks away. He was allowing the partner one week to review before she had to send to the client, who in turn would have another week to review.
The partner, however, had a different idea. "I want it on my desk tomorrow by 8 a.m.," she told Pablo." "Not a moment later."

Clothe the Children
By James Snyder
Special to the Pioneer
In celebrating my recent birthday, I found myself caught up in a case of nostalgia. I never imagined I would really get this old. Not that I am old, mind you, but I have reached the point in life I never thought I would when I was younger. Had I known I would get this old, I would have saved some of the energy I wasted during my teenage years.
How was I to know that as you got older your supply of energy began diminishing?

Florida's tax-free holiday can help families save a lot of money when getting their children ready to go back to school.
Gov. Rick Scott reminds families of the 2014 sales tax-free holiday beginning Aug. 1.
With the new school year approaching, parents and students can save money on their back to school shopping with the sales tax-free holiday from Aug. 1 through Aug. 3.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
• July 19, Pavel Beno, 48, Williston, four counts aggravated assault. Bond $100,000.
Williston Police Cpl. David Moss will be memorialized July 30 at 10 a.m. when a portion of a Williston street is dedicated to him.
On July 30, 1988 at 2:09 a.m., Moss was working the night shift when he reported that he would be out of his car investigating a suspicious vehicle that he discovered.
Bruce Smith was a familiar sight around Williston–from working in the town's theater to janitorial duties for several local businesses, and perhaps more familiar the ever-present sports fan of the Williston Red Devils, where he could often be seen keeping the time clock and scoreboard at home games.

Fat Burning Practices
By Ellen Kamhi, PhD, RN, HNC
What Color is Your Fat?
You probably had no idea until right now that your body houses two kinds of fat—yellow and brown. Yellow fat, which serves as an insulator and a warehouse for unused or excess calories, is the type most people want to shed. Brown fat actually burns those excess calories, acting as the furnace and burning yellow fat as fuel. If you have a good storehouse of brown fat, you can seemingly eat whatever you want and not gain a pound, while the "more yellow, less brown fat" folks find losing weight difficult even as they restrict calories. To add insult to injury, being overweight can actually shut down the mitochondria (the cell's powerhouses) in brown fat, essentially turning it into yellow fat.
Fortunately, many natural remedies can help kick-start fat burning (thermogenesis). First and foremost: exercise. Without enough exercise, it's difficult to lose and keep weight off. In addition, you can take supplements to boost your body's fat-burning capabilities.
Essential fatty acids. Many overweight people suffer from chronic deficiencies of essential fatty acids (EFAs), the primary fuels that stoke the body's thermogenic furnace. When they are in short supply, brown fat becomes inactive, which can make weight loss more difficult. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, is of particular concern. Normally, the body can manufacture GLA from dietary sources of another omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid—found in safflower, sunflower, corn, soybean, and flaxseed oils. However, a diet high in saturated fats—much different than EFAs—combined with stress, alcohol, aging, or illness, can block this conversion, and you wind up with a GLA deficiency. Take 500 mg of GLA daily; evening primrose, black currant, hemp, and borage oils are all good sources.
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs tend to accelerate metabolism while lowering blood levels of cholesterol, which can help you lose weight. Consider adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of grapeseed or organic virgin coconut oil on vegetables or in salad dressings each day. But if you have diabetes or a liver disorder, avoid MCTs entirely.
Cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens), ginger, and cinnamon. Used in Chinese medicine and ayurveda, these warming spices help break down fat. Cayenne helps digestion and increases feelings of fullness and satiety.
Ginseng. Studies show this ancient remedy works as a useful antiobesity agent. It decreases the release of free radicals generated by exercise and also reduces levels of appetite-stimulating compounds such as leptin. Extracts of both ginseng root and ginseng berry help stabilize blood sugar.
Green tea (Camellia sinensis). Green tea can increase the metabolic rate and stimulate fat burning. It's rich in a variety of compounds, including theophylline, theobromine, caffeine, and polyphenols, all of which increase the body's use of energy, inhibit the absorption of fat, and break down fat cells a...

Perhaps that's why he's trying to convince fans that middleweight champion Anderson Silva might actually lose to challenger Chris Weidman this Saturday at UFC 162.
Silva hasn't lost a single fight in the UFC, carrying a 17-fight winning streak into this fight. Weidman is undefeated, 9-0 in his career and 5-0 in the UFC, so it's not like he's a pushover.
But White claims that Weidman's strengths are Silva's weaknesses, and pretty much every pro MMA fighter thinks that Silva will be beaten.
"Every fighter out there that I've talked to and every fighter we've interviewed thinks Weidman is going to beat Anderson. All the pros think this is the biggest challenge Anderson has ever faced in the UFC. These are the guys who know the sport, the pros, and they are all saying Weidman could really shock the world. This is a huge fight in the middleweight division."
As much as Dana wants to pretend this is going to be a tough fight, let's be real. We don't even know what Anderson Silva's weaknesses are, or if he even has any at all.
The only time Silva has shown any weakness since joining the UFC was when he got tossed around by Chael Sonnen and his Olympic-level wrestling for 4 rounds in their first matchup. Then, in the rematch, Silva beat Sonnen handily, knocking him out in the 2nd round.
Is Silva's wrestling defense still considered a weakness? Sonnen wasn't able to do much in their second fight, which would lead you to believe that Silva worked on that aspect of his game and tied up the few loose ends remaining in his game.
So are we now to believe that Chris Weidman can figure out the puzzle that is Anderson Silva? Weidman's opponents so far have been decent UFC fighters, but none are currently legitimate title contenders.
I'd love to believe that this will somehow be a tough fight for Silva, and that there's a legitimate chance that he could lose, but let's be serious. That's just not happening.

The 10 most intriguing players of the MLB postseasonMike Oz at Big League Stew3 hrs ago
Playoff baseball is upon us. Ten teams have a chance at advancing to the World Series, and they'll need a combination of great performances and great luck to get there. This time of year isn't just about stars excelling. It's also about a player making a big play when it's most needed. Likewise, when you're thinking about the most intriguing players of the postseason, it's not always just a team's biggest star (though in some cases, that player is the most intriguing). Our list of most intriguing players includes guys with a compelling story, guys who could be a hero, guys with a lot on the line. So here they are, 10 players we'll be watching — some for different reasons than others — as the MLB postseason begins. Click the image of Mike Trout above to begin the slideshow and read about each player.

Longtime Royals fan remembers what's important about enjoying baseballDavid Brown at Big League Stew7 hrs ago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One of the reasons for Major League Baseball's enduring popularity is the frequency and simplicity with which its enjoyment is passed among the generations. Almost everybody has stories, or at least memories. Playing catch with dad. Mom driving you to Little League practice. Going to games with your grandfather.
One of the emerging themes leading up to the Kansas City Royals hosting the Oakland Athletics in the American League wild-card game Tuesday night was how history divides Royals fans into two kinds: One, a younger generation that had witnessed little or no success since the Royals won the World Series 29 years ago. The other: An older group that also lived the good-old days.Tue, Sep 305:07 PM PDTOakland at Kansas CityPreview Game
Jon Lester's postseason success provides helpful lesson plan for RoyalsDavid Brown at Big League Stew8 hrs ago
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Having to face left-hander Jon Lester in a postseason game is a task no opponent should relish. Lester's reputation in the playoffs is second to few, and his 2.11 ERA in 76 2/3 career innings for the Boston Red Sox backs it up. And yet as postseason neophytes, the Kansas City Royals could benefit from Lester being on the mound for the Oakland Athletics, if players take stock in what he said before, and how he acts during, the American League wild card game Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium.
"Believe it or not, I've always tried to take the same approach, whether it's April 15th or this game now," Lester said Monday afternoon. "The competitiveness in me does not allow me to throttle back or throttle more, or whatever. Same mentality, same preparation, same routine. Nothing changes because the game means more. I think that keeps me even-keeled."
AL wild card preview: The Royals and A's fight for their postseason livesMike Oz at Big League Stew22 hrs ago
Talk about two teams desperate to win — the Oakland Athletics haven't won consistently since the start of August and the Kansas City Royals haven't even played in the postseason since 1985.
When they enter Tuesday night's AL wild-card game, a good portion of both fanbases will be hoping for the best, but fearing the absolute worst in the back of their minds. Losing sticks with you like that, whether it's short-term, like the Athletics' sluggish second half or long-term, like the Royals nearly 30 years of disappointment.
Astros hire A.J. Hinch as new managerMike Oz at Big League Stew1 day ago
Cross one job off the list of open MLB managerial positions.
The Houston Astros have introduced A.J. Hinch as their new manager at a Monday press conference. Hinch is the club's 22nd manager and takes over for Bo Porter, who was fired Sept. 1. The Astros interviewed a number of candidates for the job, both internal and external, but Hinch was their man.
Hinch previously managed the Arizona Diamondbacks for parts of 2009 and 2010. He was only 34 when hired by the D-backs, and went 89-123 as their skipper. Hinch was a catcher for the Oakland Athletics and Kansas City Royals, among others, in his six-year playing career.
After getting the axe in Arizona, he joined the San Diego Padres as their vice president of scouting. He held that job for nearly four years, also becoming the team's assistant general manager. Hinch resigned in August when the Padres fired GM Josh Byrnes.Sun, Sep 28Houston3 - 8NY MetsGame Recap
Here's Barry Bonds wearing Google Glass, living as an advanced life formMike Oz at Big League Stew1 day ago
I used to think Barry Bonds looked like a robot when he started wearing all those protective pads while batting. His mechanical approach to hitting and his nearly perfect eye at the plate didn't make him seem like any less of a robot.
So imagine my surprise when Bonds used his recently created Instagram and Twitter accounts to show us how he's living these days as an advanced life form.
Be careful, Barry. Wearing Google Glass is a slippery slope that can lead to full-on cyborg life. Wearable tech is great, until you realize how much it can enhance your life, you get hooked and soon enough you're using black-market electronics to stay ahead of everyone.
If Bonds starts experimenting with wearable tech for baseball purposes, he may soon want to wear a Darth Vader-like life-enhancing suit so he can return to the MLB to hit homers for eternity. He'd Force-choke anybody getting in his way.
Think about it: Bonds IS baseball's Darth Vader.

Not even Ron Gardenhire was beloved enough in Minnesota to keep his job after four straight 90-loss seasons. The Twins fired their skipper of 13 seasons on Monday morning after the club finished the 2014 season with a 70-92 record.
Patrick Reusse of 1500 ESPN in Minneapolis was first to report the news. Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan confirmed it.
Source: Ron Gardenhire out as Twins manager. @1500ESPN_Reusse first reported.
The Twins are now in the rare-for-them position of searching for a manager. Gardenhire was hired in 2002, taking over after Tom Kelly held the job from 1986-2001. That's two managers in 28 years, remarkable stability for an MLB franchise. The Twins hadn't fired a manager since Ray Miller in 1986.
Twins pitcher Ricky Nolasco says he wishes he still played for DodgersDavid Brown at Big League Stew1 day ago
They say honesty is the best policy. In the case of Minnesota Twins right-hander Ricky Nolasco, they are full of baloney.
Nolasco, who just finished the first season of a four-year, $49 million contract, mentioned overnight on Twitter that he'd rather be playing for a previous team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dispassionate blogger Aaron Gleeman captured the brief social-media conversation in case Nolasco got the bright idea to delete his comment — which he has:
This will go over well. Dodgers fan tweets "wish you were still with LA" to Ricky Nolasco and he replies "so do I!!!" pic.twitter.com/Dq61tOOiSs
Nolasco is from southern California, and pitched mostly well for the Dodgers in 2013 after being traded from the Miami Marlins. He struggled down the stretch — possibly because of his elbow, and he made an unremarkable start in the NLCS against the Cardinals, a game the Dodgers lost. But he obviously misses the old home town.Sun, Sep 28Minnesota0 - 3DetroitGame Recap
Punto Power! Teammate shreds Sonny Gray's jersey after clincherDavid Brown at Big League Stew1 day ago
"@omar01: A well deserved shredding for @SonnyGray2 by @Shredderpunto. https://t.co/loF4VnpD3l"..... Sonny is a guy you want in your foxhole
This might be hard for some to understand, but Nick Punto of the Oakland Athletics has a reputation — and a talent — for shredding jerseys. After a walk-off or milestone victory, Punto is known to grab the heroic player by the collar and rip his jersey to shreds right off his body in celebration. You might ask "Why?" Well, perhaps the question should be "Why not?" It's what wrestler Hulk Hogan would do — so isn't that a good enough reason?
Anyway, Sonny Gray pitched a six-hitter for the A's on Sunday, a huge effort in a 4-0 victory that stopped their implosion and landed them in the playoffs, at least for a game. So it was time for him to get shredded.

Patient Comments: Dry Socket - Experience
Please describe your experience with dry socket.
Comment from: flowergirl, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: July 15
I am currently suffering with dry socket and can only say the pain is excruciating and I cannot contain it with painkillers. My mouth is throbbing and I have intense pain. I have been back to the dentist 3 times since my extraction 4 days ago. It was OK the following day but the pain then began to grow. Today he has cleared it out and stitched the gum. I just hope the pain subsides soon I can't sleep eat or function normally!
Comment from: jen, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: May 21
I have never had so much pain. I am taking 800 mg of ibuprofen every six hours and Percocet every six hours – it just manages to keep the pain relatively in check. The pain radiates from my tooth up into my ear and forward along and under my jaw line. The intense throbbing is constantly pounding at me, making me beg for relief. This has been going on for a week and I don't know how much longer I can take it. I saw a dentist today and he cleaned things out. I'm going back later this week.
Comment from: KB, 25-34 Male (Caregiver) Published: May 08
I recommend trying clove oil. After eight Panadeine Forte tablets a day not being enough, my pain was reduced by 80% by using clove oil, of all things! It's the best $8 I've ever spent.
Comment from: lawrrencee, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: May 06
It's friggin' miserable. I can't sleep for more than an hour before it flares up, and then the pain lasts from 10 minutes to a half hour. It's like someone turns off a switch and it settles down for a bit, but is always sore. I get this throbbing in my gums that radiates back into my ear, down the entire side of my lower jaw where I had the tooth pulled, and then goes up into the top part of my jaw and just fires up every nerve in that side of my mouth. I have even felt slight twinges behind my eye starting from the extraction sight. The surgeon gave me lortabs – nope. I took NSAIDs and naproxen – they didn't work. I even took one of my wife's morphine tablets, and that didn't do it.

The de-newspaperization of America is finally catching up with the de-industrialization of America. Newsroom jobs, especially decent paying ones, are vanishing everywhere—thanks to the shrinking number of print readers and the fact that digital advertising can't fully support digital journalism. But the job losses seem to be coming faster—and the effect on the fabric of already struggling communities is far greater—in the rusty, rotting-factory cities of older America.Philadelphia Daily News columnist Will Bunch, discussing the ongoing cuts facing the newspaper industry. Today's ground zero? The Cleveland Plain Dealer, where as many as 50 people lost their jobs, finding out via phone if they were the ones. The Plain Dealer recently helped surface a major national story—the rediscovery of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who went missing for nearly a decade—and Bunch expresses concern that the next story like that might stay under the radar.
The saga of [Ariel] Castro and his alleged crimes is peppered with what-ifs. During the period that he is accused of holding the young women captive, authorities appeared at his home several times but never discovered the abducted women.Washington Post reporters Manuel Roig-Franzia, Jerry Markon and Luz Lazo • In a long, in-depth piece describing the alleged crimes of Ariel Castro and the young women he abducted. There were many warning signs — including a home relatives described as creepy before the abductions took place and an ongoing domestic violence case that a grand jury refused to hear. It's a dark story, but read this one to the end. In related news, his brothers have spoken out about the incident, saying they were unaware of what was happening.
Michelle's grandmother, Deborah Knight, confirmed the information, telling 19 Action News: "When she was severely beaten, he had beat her so bad in the face, she has to have facial reconstruction, and she's lost hearing in one ear."
Records obtained by Carl Monday investigations show Michelle may have faced physical abuse before she was kidnapped. Records show David Feckley was charged and convicted in the early 2000's of child endangerment, for breaking Michelle's infant son's arm. He served eight years in prison. But a rape charge was dropped when the alleged victim, Michelle, couldn't be found. Of course, now we know where she was: on Seymour Avenue.
Michelle wasn't seeing visitors Thursday, not even her family. Yesterday, her mom, in from Naples, Florida, met with Michelle briefly at the hospital. But a relative told us the meeting was strained, and Michelle asked her mom to leave.
Meanwhile, main suspect Ariel Castro is confirmed to be the father of Amanda Berry's child through DNA testing, according to the state of Ohio. He may face the death penalty for the crimes; despite initial reports suggesting otherwise, police say his brothers were not involved.
The search for Amanda Berry is over. For the past two days, excavating crews dug through an empty lot after receiving a tip from a convict who claimed he knew where the missing teen was buried.
Around 2:30 Friday afternoon, crews completed their search at a small lot on West 30th Street and Wade Avenue in Cleveland, but were not able to locate any remains.
Cleveland resident Pedro Castro said, "That's a waste of money."
Berry was found in the home of Castro's brother Ariel, along with two other women. (via David Putney)
UPDATE: As was reported about a day after we posted this, Ariel Castro is the main suspect and his brothers were not charged as there is no evidence they were involved.

If you're a Pittsburgh Pirates or St. Louis Cardinals fan on the West Coast, you're probably leaving work early today as thanks to a bit of a funky schedule, Major League Baseball is being forced to open their Divisional Series round at 5:07 ET.
The early start time (on the West Coast) isn't exactly something new as the league would prefer an earlier start time when compared to having competing games, but I'm not sure that's helping those still stuck at work.
Getting first dibs will be the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals, who are just hours away from first pitch. Here are tonight's starting lineups:
Pittsburgh Pirates:

Our Local Knowledge interviews – and the other expert interviews we do for our local guides and Playlist series – are with locals we've befriended who have helped us get beneath the skin of a place, by sharing insider advice, hidden gems, local secrets, and their most favourite things to do.
They're generally people unconnected to tourism. We've interviewed artists, chefs, singers, a filmmaker, musicians, a surfing instructor, an oceanographer, a photographer, an author, an art director, a cultural historian, a pro horserider, restaurant critics, a sports project manager, an event manager, graphic designers, food bloggers, fashion designers, shop owners, publishers, and sometimes simply old friends. Phew! We've been busy.
Out of 46 Local Knowledge interviews, there have only been a handful of exceptions where we've interviewed tour guides (in Krakow, Cape Town, Alberobello, and Kotor), hotel staff (in the Masai Mara), a concierge (in Bali), and a riad manager-cook (in Marrakech), and that's because those people were special. They touched us in some way – generally with their warmth, their passion for the place, and their generosity when it came to sharing their local knowledge.
Janet Chan is one of those people. A Sydney girl, born in Hong Kong, Janet lives in Siem Reap, where she manages the PR, sales and marketing for Hotel de la Paix. One of her tasks is to assist a visiting writer-photographer team like us to get what we need to produce the best possible stories we can. Normally, this involves things like making sure rooms are available to photograph, enabling us to shoot public spaces, bars and restaurants, coordinating with chefs to shoot photographs of dishes we tried and liked, liaising with staff to shoot portraits, and answering all my questions.
Janet did all that and did it well, and – along with her colleague Christina, who handles guest relations – went out of her way to assist in other ways as well. As our magazine story was focused on the chic side of Siem Reap, I had a long list of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars I'd uncovered during research that I wanted to check out. Janet and Christina not only went through my list and gave advice, they arranged appointments for us with people like fashion designer Eric Raisina, hired a tuk-tuk, showed us around, and introduced us to locals, from artisans to chefs. We got twice as much done in half the time it would normally take us.
What really struck us about Janet was her passion for Siem Reap. With ten years experience in tourism, it was obviously the chance to work for such a beautiful hotel that drew her to Siem Reap, but something else is keeping her there. Since we left Siem Reap, Janet hasn't emailed me about hotel promotions or packages, she's got in touch about projects she's promoting for the community – from helping clothe and feed disadvantaged families to raising funds to rebuild houses damaged in the recent floods. I not only want to know about what they're doing there, I want to help.
When I asked Janet what makes Siem Reap special for her, her answer didn't surprise me: "The people, definitely!"
What do you most love about your work?
The fact that it is much more than an ordinary 'sales and marketing' role, and a lot of the things we do at the hotel changes the lives of our fellow staff and the beautiful Khmer (Cambodian people). I'm particularly proud of our commitment to local community projects, such as Share Your Shirt, Bikes and Bags, the Sewing School, etc, that help make Siem Reap and Cambodia a better place for its people.
Why should people come to Siem Reap?
To experience the culture and appreciate the historical architecture of the Angkor ruins. But it's also a perfect place for R&R with variety of great restaurants and day spas in town.
3 words to describe Siem Reap?
Vibrant, everchanging, and safe – which might be a surprise to some people, but it's one of the safest cities in South East Asia.
3 ways to describe the people?
Genuinely kind, cheerful and honest – if you have put on weight they will tell you to your face (in all honesty)!
Your top recommendations for visitors to Siem Reap?
For art lovers, a visit to the Arts Lounge at our hotel is a must. It features up and coming Khmer artists with a different arts collection every two months. Phnom Kulen (Kulen Mountain) is a hidden gem. Also explore the less popular Angkor temples, which are tranquil.
Best souvenir from Siem Reap?
Accessories, jewellery, and even carpets, made by disadvantage Khmer who have been especially trained by NGOs. The products are good quality and your purchase helps to keep the cycle and build a better future for the locals.
Must-do eating experiences?
If time and weather permits, I would recommend a Khmer dinner in the countryside, overlooking the rice fields during sunset – it's very scenic even though you are only 15 minutes from town. Otherwise, don't miss the delicious tasting plates and desserts at AHA.
An essential thing to know before coming to Siem Reap?
There is more to Siem Reap than just the temples! Make sure you plan enough days to spend here or you'll regret it. I would recommend at least three extra nights so you can fully enjoy the town, pamper yourself at a day spa, try a few nice restaurants, shop around town, and visit some galleries and workshops. I love Frangipani Spa and Spa Indochine for some pampering; Il Forno, AHA, and Abacus for food; and Wild Poppy, Artisan d'Angkor, Senteurs d'Angkor, and Theam's House for shopping.
Most important phrase to learn in Cambodian?
"Orkun!" – thank you! Even though most Khmer speak great English, it's best to show your appreciation in the local language.
Any other advice?
US dollars are widely accepted here so there's no need to exchange money for Riels.

North Richland Hills police are investigating an incident involving Walker Creek Elementary school students being exposed to pornography while boarding a charter bus last week.It is not clear exactly what the children saw on the video screens while on the bus, which was owned by Executive Coach Inc., according to Mark Thomas, a spokesman for the Birdville school district."We are appalled that it even happened. Our first priority was taking care of the students," Thomas said.Thomas said that on April 9, up to 20 fifth-graders were boarding for a three-day camping trip to Sky Ranch, according to the school calendar posted online. The children were on the bus briefly until either a parent volunteer or a member of the school district's staff removed them.The children were immediately removed from the bus, and their parents were contacted. The trip resumed after the Walker Creek Elementary principal contacted all of the parents, Thomas said.Representatives from Executive Coach did not return phone calls seeking comment.The driver was not on the bus at the time when the students saw the pornography, said Keith Bauman, a spokesman for the North Richland Hills police department."This is being considered a sexual offense in nature and the victims are minors," Bauman said. after declining to release detailed information about the incident. "This case is being actively investigated."Elizabeth Campbell, 817-390-7696Twitter: @fwstliz

Joey and Denny have been best friends since kindergarten, and after working together for several years as policemen in Chicago, they are practically family: Joey helps out with Denny's wife and kids; Denny keeps Joey away from the bottle. But when a domestic disturbance call takes a turn for the worse, their friendship is put on the line. The result is a difficult journey into a moral gray area where trust and loyalty struggle for survival against a sobering backdrop of pimps, prostitutes, and criminal lowlifes.
A dark duologue filled with sharp storytelling and biting repartee, A Steady Rain explores the complexities of a lifelong bond tainted by domestic affairs, violence, and the rough streets of Chicago.
"Characteristic of Chicagoland theater at its gritty, no-nonsense best . . . An irresistibly forceful exercise in noir-style tandem storytelling."—Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
"A gritty, rich, thick, poetic and entirely gripping noir tale of two Chicago police officers whose inner need to serve and protect both consumes them and rips them apart."—Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
"A Steady Rain turns out to be less like the perpetual drizzle of its title and more like a snowball that builds to an avalanche. While Huff starts with a couple of familiar characters . . . he deepens them into complex figures, compellingly human even when at their most despicable . . . A Steady Rain [has] genuine dramatic power and a sense of true tragedy."—Steven Oxman, Variety
"Huff's vivid, intricately layered script . . . lifts [the play] far above the usual clichés, both detaching us from the melodrama and imbuing it with the force of tragedy."—Richard Zoglin, Time

Politics & The Bible
Guest blogger Political Dad on chapter and verse.
I'm amazed how misinformed most people are about their religious faith. Few die hard opponents of California's Proposition 8, the ban on "gay marriage," know the historical context or chapter in the Old Testament that refers to homosexuality as an abomination. For the record, it's Leviticus 18:22. In the passages before and that directly follow, the Lord also lists the following rules that must not be broken:
Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molech, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.
Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it.
Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths.
Do not turn to idols or make gods of cast metal for yourselves. I am the Lord your God.
Years ago, there was a scene from the the NBC show "The West Wing" where President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) argues my point.
The book of Leviticus is filled with 2000-year-old Hebrew Midrashic laws. There are literally hundreds of examples that do not apply in our modern world. It's simple hypocrisy that religious people point to just one of them as an excuse to discriminate. I'm sorry to have to say it, but it's bigotry, masking itself as faith -- and it's an abomination.
The second half of the Bible tells of the coming of Jesus Christ and his beautiful message: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." It was that idea that changed the world. He spoke of tolerance, justice and love. If you voted Yes Tuesday on Proposition 8, then perhaps you're not paying enough attention on Sundays because you seemed to have missed the true message.
Bigotry is bigotry. Intolerance is intolerance. Discrimination against someone because of who they choose to love is the only real sin.
What do you think of Political Dad's viewpoint? Comment in the momlogic community.
none of god's word is a buffet. leviticus or any other book-the greatest gift god created was Jesus Christ so that adam's decendants would not suffer from the effects of inherited sin forever— you see i HAVE read the bible. christ would never go against anything his father had already condemned centuries before he even came to earth. there is indeed plenty of agrument against homosexuality and marriage just because you don't agree ( your right and choice) won't make it any less valid of an argument. you can not speak for every gay "parent" you don't know what kind of influence harmful or otherwise is being taugt to the young minds in their care. their livestyle speaks volumes about what they feel they owe their creator which should be obedience and loyalty.rather it is " i do what i want "
This entire topic seems odd to me. We don't live in a religious state. What the bible says or doesn't say should have absolutely no bearing on any political decision that gets made in this country.
cg- What about what it says in the Greek Religions? All the laws Zeus laid down? Are we just suppose to ignore those? Never mind the countless other gods that have been around for thousands of years. America has in it's constitution that we need to allow for all religions and are forced to respect none. Which creator are we suppose to be "obedient and Loyal" to? And if you say that is it your god, then perhaps you could tell me why?
well, since you asked me i will try to break it down for you keep in mind i throughtly respect your right to your own opinion so my answer will stem from what i know as fact.some of it may be things you've not heard before so please try to keep an open mind… the holy scriptures speak of a period of time when the grandson of noah nimrod began building a tower- in defience to god's command to spread out over the earth- god confused their language and as they left off the building work they carried w/ them all their different religious beliefs. there was just one true god then and there is just one true god now- the "greek religions" as well as many others are part of chrisendom and as such make up the world empire of false religion spoken of in the book of revelation and is called collectively "babylon the great" because at that original tower of babel is where all false religion originated. and so you can ignore or you can seek truth but truth is unchangeble.and we are suppose to show loyality and obedience to the only true god who gave his son as a ransom for all mankind and yes he is my god but even more importantly he is the god of all who do not miss the point of why he sent his son to die for us in the first place.now a question for you: are you familiar with god's oringinal purpose for the earth? the fact that he has shown such love in allowing his son to die on my behalf is why i know he deserves my devotion, psalms 49:7-8 tells me i could never on my own have provided the ransom that was needed.
cg -
The problem I have isn't with what the holy scriptures say. The problem is that, based on history and mythos, there really isn't any reason to believe it. Other holy books say (and have said) the same thing… That there god is the one true god and that all others are false. There is no reason to believe for a second that, historically speaking, there ever was an actual tower of babylon and even less reason to think that all the worlds religions were born there. The act of god sending his son to die (who is also god) for everyone's sins (both dead and yet to be born) not only makes no sense, it's not proof of anything. Both the greek and hindu religions have gods being put to death by being nailed to a piece of wood and coming back to life so your example just really falls flat for me. Perhaps there is another, more logical reason you could give me? Something that doesn't sound like a story told around a campfire perhaps?
DA i could tell you that the sky is blue and 2+2=4 - you are still going to believe what you want. i perceive that you are a believer in the trinity and that is where your dilemma is-your not alone millions also believe that god is god his son is god (so far that's 2 persons i count) and that god's active force or holy spirit is also god. i'm not a believer in the trinity- the sons of isreal were'nt, noah and his descendants were'nt, jesus christ, his disciples not even the demons that jesus expelled thought that god their god was a trinity. the mere fact that you don't know god's original purpose for the earth or that he even had an original purpose when he created earth or everything in it is regrettable purhaps one day you'll ponder the question "if humans were created to go to heaven after we die, why do we even need an earth or a redeemer?"like i said the world religions originated at the tower of babel because it was supposed to be a religious tower so any thing that came away from there was tainted w/ false religious ideas both the greek and hindu religions are part of that world empire of false religions. god's advesary (satan) does'nt care what god you woship as long as you don't worship the true god. campfire tale huh? well i'll stick to my bible and the truth. but homosexuality is not approved of by god and no amount of propaganda, deceptive reasoning or false stories is gonna make that truth go away.
And thanks DA for "keeping an open mind" like i asked- NOT. just because you may not have heard the truth does'nt make it any less truthful. and ask yourself why are there soooo many different religions? where did they all come from. the term "true god" implies that there are those that are false and not true or the one and only.
This argument someone gave in another comment is the stupidest argument I have ever heard:
"Romans 1:26-27 "26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." This is in the New Testament, the second half of the Bible so isn't as easily dismissible as the arguments in Leviticus."
In accepting and not dismissing the parts of these phrases that relate to homosexuality you also have to accept the parts phrasing sex as womens natural use - in which case you shouldn't be on the computer writing comments based on your thoughts (because thinking is outside of your natural use), you should be lying on your back with your legs in the air.
God loves EVERYONE - even if you don't.
That's what we have to remember. Self-righteousness has become a standard among the gay hating Christians who quote the bible over and over.
I got news for you, if Jesus had a prostitute in his mix, he would accept a gay person and we don't know that he already did. We are supposed to love the sinners but not the sin. I see an awful lot of judgement on the sinner and not a lot of love.
Unfortunately, it is that view that keeps many people away from the church and I think that's a tragedy. It is our job to welcome all people to God. Bigotry of any kind by Christians keeps potential souls to be saved away and those souls could die unsaved as a result.
I am a devout Catholic and a Democrat. I lived many years as an atheist. I have known a lot of gay people because I was in professional theater. Now, I pray for them and still love them. They were kind to me but a lot of Christians try to shame them and exclude them from God's love. That is where the sin is, as dad's article states very well.
Hi!!! www.momlogic.com is one of the best informational websites of its kind. I enjoy reading it every day. I will be back.
i find it interesting that so many will call a person who picks and chooses from the bible 'not a christian.' we as humans are not given the right to make such judgmental statements. and ALL christians pick and choose passages to follow from the bible above others. i personally follow most closely the teachings of Jesus rather than moses (if u have read the bible as i have you will find that moses and Jesus find themselves on opposite sides of the board on almost EVERYTHING). in fact, the people that post that these people arent Christians should look at themselves before casting judgment. you are probably wearing clothing of more than one fabric (forbidden in leviticus), you have eaten kosher foods in the last 24 hours (forbidden, according to moses god hates shrimp). you cut your hair, peirce your ears, tatoo your body and yet u still have the audacity to call my love a perversion. I LOVE. i dont lust, i love. like any human.
you 'good christians'… you havent stoned any of the homosexuals like myself to death…. it commands you to do it in the bible. however jesus teaches a very different perspective. 'love thy neighbor as thyself' 'let he without sin cast the first stone'… u can follow what moses or paul preach or you can follow the teachings of Jesus Christ on this matter. i choose Jesus… whom do you choose you so called 'Good christians'?
many of the stories in the bible are not about homosexuality. take Lot… forced rape, not homosexuality. now lets break it down passage by passage if u will.
leviticus is where we will start. "thou shalt not lie with mankind as with woman kind; it is abomination."… lets try a different translation 'not shall you lie with male in bed of woman; to'vah.' it is in fact the same thing. however this one is talking about a 'bed of woman.' this requires a bit of thought. why would he refer to a bed of woman. when a man marries a woman and the woman gets mad… who sleeps on the coach? the man. why? because the bed is the wife's. this is clearly referring to married men shouldn't have sexual relations outside of marriage with other men.
the word tovah is translated in most as abomination. however it has other translations such as idolatry and against custom. i will leave that one to your imagination.
tolerance is important in a society. especially when 10% of it is being discriminated against for something that scientists say is more than likely genetic. i will not lie, i fought my sexuality. it was a struggle for me to accept myself and because of bigots i nearly killed myself. my family came against me when i asked for help and then i met someone who showed me that there is more to being a christian than following rules.
"for god so loved the world that he gave his only son, that WHOSOEVER believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."
doesn't matter who u are, what u r, what race, gender or ethnicity…. if you believe in the son of god you will have eternal life. try that one out "good Christians"… all you who nearly caused me to die in vein… may god have mercy on YOUR souls.
let gays marry in piece. what harm comes of it. the 'degradation of the family unit'? that argument makes no since when u think about it. the same argument was used to try to keep people of different ethnicity from marrying. its just stupid. homosexuality has existed in 10% of the population for thousands of years…. if they marry it isn't going to spread or hurt anything.
but religious people tend to be intolerant. i am not religious. i believe in god and i read the bible and i trust that my savior will fight for me. he loves us all and to say he could ever hate me for something i fought against in his name and i lost is like saying i had no way to heaven from the start. you cant stop your feelings of love. i have tried. i have failed. and i have finally in the last few months accepted myself… thanks to my savior Jesus Christ. let the people marry whosoever they choose.
btw… Cg, you are dogmatic. leave others to their opinions and stop attacking people.
hello I am a freshman in university and see clubs called christian and gay with no contradiction. I am a born again, follower of Christ and agree that yes it is WRONG to hate a person who is gay and act like you are better just because you are not gay. HOWEVER, I know that Jesus hates sin, all sin sin is sin is sin What did Jesus do on earth? He recognized their sin and told them to stop doing it, that didnt mean he loved them less. When your child does something wrong, do you as a parent sit by and ignore it…I would hope not. we are to lovingly help our brothers and sisters recognize their sin, this is NOT judging. I have been told by christian mentors/friends I must not give into temptation to have sex with my fiancee and you know what, they were right in pointing this out when i was starting ot believe it wasnt a big deal becuase Jesus would tell me the same thing. Please people, Look at what jesus christ spoke in the bible and what the followers like Paul said, whom Jesus spoke through. Many dont believe sex before marriage or homosexuality is a sin but the bible states that it is and we cant rationalize. I pray people wont take my words and immedietly want to fight them, as I am only speaking what I know Jesus Christ would say.
A formidable share, I simply given this onto a colleague who was doing a bit of analysis on this. And he in reality bought me breakfast as a result of I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! However yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If potential, as you turn into experience, would you mind updating your weblog with extra details? It is extremely useful for me. Massive thumb up for this weblog submit!

Same-sex marriage decision for Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski
Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski today said he would hold a public meeting on the issue of same-sex marriage – to help him decide which way to vote.
Mr Kawczynski said that his 'gut feeling' was to support same-sex marriage, but he could not ignore the 'hundreds of letters' he has received from constituents who are opposed to the move.
He said it would be 'arrogant' to ignore the views of his constituents, and said the outcome of a vote at the end of the planned meeting would be a 'huge factor' in influencing his decision.
It is hoped the meeting to discuss the issue will be held in February. Plans to legalise same-sex marriage have divided the Conservative party.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who supports the move, has promised a change in the law in England and Wales by the next election in May 2015.
But more than 100 of his MPs, including Environment Secretary and north Shropshire MP Owen Paterson, are thought to be against the idea.
The Prime Minister has offered MPs a free vote on the issue – due to take place in the spring.
Mr Kawczynski said: "On the one hand my gut reaction is to support gay marriage because I am very much against discrimination and it is an issue of equal rights. However, in Shrewsbury there is a very large element of society which is fundamentally opposed to this change.
"Before I decide how to vote I want to organise a large public meeting to hear the views of those who are in favour and those who are against. I have been overwhelmed by the number of letters from constituents opposed to this proposal. On a highly contentious issue like this I think it is important for MPs to have public meetings to find out the will of the people."
Mr Kawczynski said the meeting would be chaired by an independent adjudicator, and would end with a vote on same-sex marriage.
Yesterday a group of senior Tory MPs and peers launched a campaign group backing same-sex marriage.

Shelby County, Shelbyville and Simpsonville paid thousands of dollars to clean up after January's ice storm, and now it appears that money will be coming back into those governments' pockets.
Gov. Steve Beshear's office has announced that the state will do more to reimburse what many counties and cities spent in cleanup of the storm that downed so many trees and power lines while racking up 769,000 power outages across the Commonwealth.
Lorri Stivers, a longtime resident of Shelby County, is going to get to work closer to home this fall: On Monday, she was named the new principal at West Middle School.
And Brenda King, a veteran educator from Eastern Kentucky, was named the special education coordinator for Shelby County Public Schools.
Foreclosures are continuing to increase dramatically in Shelby County, and Shelby County Fiscal Court is partnering with a non-profit agency to help curtail that trend.
Through nearly six months of 2009, foreclosures in Shelby County total 114, which is rapidly approaching the 142 recorded in 2008 and almost equal to the 120 in 2007.
Todd Davis, master commissioner for Shelby Circuit Court, reported those numbers for court-ordered "judgments and orders to sell."
When you're good at what you do, it doesn't take long for others to take notice.
Wanda Lott Collins of Finchville is a tenured associate professor at the University of Louisville, where she has for the past six years taught in the Kent School of Social Work.
Gov. Steve Beshear has called the General Assembly into special session next week, and legislators will be asked to do some fixing: fix a budget shortfall, fix the state's horse industry, fix bridges and fix the state's programs and incentives for attracting businesses.
The Governor's office is estimating a budget deficit of nearly $1 billion, which he will propose to repair, at least in part, with just more than $700 million in federal stimulus dollars. The rest of the "fix" will come from budget cuts.
Holiday closings
Some local offices and businesses have changed schedules because of the Independence Day, holiday.
The changed times are: U.S. Post offices: Closed Saturday. Shelby County Court House and Annex: Closed Friday. Shelbyville City Hall: Closed Friday. Simpsonville Town Hall: closed Friday.
Banks: Citizens Union, American Founders, Chase, U.S. and Republic banks, closed Saturday; State Farm Bank, closed Friday and Saturday.
Gov. Steve Beshear's proposal to allow video slot machines in the state's racetracks appears to be a bad bet to make it through this special session of the General Assembly.
Though the House narrowly approved the measure, the Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee voted Monday against sending it to the floor for a vote. State Sen. Gary Tapp, a member of the committee, was one of the Republicans voting against the House bill.
The hot sun didn't keep families and friends from enjoying the attractions of the Shelby County Fair and Horse Show this week.
Ben Manno, 4, made his first-ever visit to the fair on Wednesday.
His parents, Ron and Rebecca Manno, said it was his first time riding something by himself.
"We just thought it would be fun," Rebecca Manno said. "So far he loves the rides."
Olivia Martin stopped by the fair with a couple of her friends.
News of pop icon Michael Jackson's death Thursday had an immediate impact on Shelby County residents.
Fans rushed the Shelbyville Walmart on Thursday night for copies of his CDs, said Gwen Jones, home entertainment department manager.
Walmart had sold all 16 they had in stock by early Friday.
Jones said the store expects a shipment with all of Jackson's albums on Saturday.
"He's pretty popular," she said. "His CDs have never stopped selling."
Temperatures were up, but attendance at this year's fair was down.
Officials don't have the exact attendance figures yet for the 2009 Shelby County Fair and Horse Show, but they expect them to be below last year's numbers, said Jeff Hagerman, secretary/treasurer for the Shelby County A & M Association, commonly known as the fair board.
"It wasn't a record setter, but it wasn't the worst either," he said.

Lords and ladies gather for elaborate society wedding
Published at 01:00, Thursday, 04 October 2007
ONE of the biggest society weddings of the year has been held in Langholm.
There were 400 guests and former leader of the Liberal Democrat party Lord David Steel gave the address, while fireworks set to music delighted residents who gathered to watch on the surrounding hills.
The Hon Asia Mackay, daughter of Lord and Lady Tanlaw, married Cockermouth-born Andrew Trotter, a director of Global Lingo in London, at Langholm parish church on Saturday, September 22.
The bride wore a Vivienne Westwood dress and the ceremony, conducted by the Rev Bob Milne, was accompanied by an Edinburgh choir.
Guests were each given a mini bottle of champagne as they left the church to board buses bound for the reception at Tanlawhill, the family estate at Eskdalemuir.
Jamie Landale, the wedding planner, said: "There were also trumpets, violinists and pipers at the church.
"It was a big day and very family-oriented. It was high-specification but the little details were not overblown."
It was one of the grandest weddings of the year in Scotland. The reception was held in a raised marquee with a balcony from which guests watched the fireworks.
A champagne and canapé reception was followed with a four-course meal and up-and-coming musician Gwyneth Herbert provided entertainment.
Hotels as far away as Carlisle were fully booked with wedding guests, among whom there was a generous smattering of lords and ladies.
Actor Charley Boorman and his wife were among the guests. Asia worked with him and Ewan McGregor on the television series Long Way Round, which charted his and Charley Boorman's 15,000-mile trip from John O'Groats to Cape Town.
Other guests included were Tessa, Marchioness of Downshire, Countess of Euston, Martin and Lady Rosemary French, Lord Mark and Lady Fitzalan Howard, the Earl and Countess of Inchcape, Sir David and Lady Landale, Lord and Lady Steel of Aikwood, The Hon Tobias and Lady Emma Tennant as well as very many family and friends.
On Sunday guests were invited back to the estate for brunch. Afterwards, the bride and bridegroom set off for their honeymoon in Africa.

The only drawback is the basket is so freakin big, unless you have room for the correct size box, you might be straped for space.

After last Saturday's main event between welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and No. 1 contender Johny Hendricks at UFC 167, UFC president Dana White ripped St-Pierre for his performance and decision to announce a semi-retirement after the bout.
White had said that St-Pierre clearly lost the fight, but it appears that he had a change of heart.
According to St-Pierre's mentor Krostof Midoux, White called St-Pierre the next day to apologize and he said that he now thought the champ won the fight after re-watching the main event.
From Journal de Quebec:
"Few people know it, but the next morning he (White) called George and told him" I'm sorry, I watched the fight again and you have indeed won. I spoke under the influence of emotion. "
"George told him he did not worry, he understood. He owes nothing to anyone, he fought all his life. "
White has said that the relationship between the UFC and St-Pierre is better than ever, so perhaps that has a lot to do with the president's apology.

Repost from 2011.
She-Devils on Wheels
Dir. Herschel Gordon Lewis || 1968 || USA
Despite some impressive visuals in the few films of his I've seen, I'm not exactly an H.G. Lewis fan. I sort of appreciate Lewis' use of bright colors in his films, even if I tend to like the artwork on the walls in his films more than the films themselves. With this in mind, I watched She-Devils on Wheels expecting the worst and actually ended up liking the film. Lewis made the film after criticism of how women were often treated in his other films. She-Devils on Wheels is about a female motorcycle gang called The Man-Eaters that often fights better than the male motorcycle gangs. The Man-Eaters race each other, and whomever wins gets first pick in "the stud line", a group a men that come to their house. The film makes an attempt to follow newer recruit Karen, but tends to pick up and drop her storyline as it pleases. Karen comes into play only after the gang beats up her favorite "stud" Bill, who they think she's in love with, which is against the gang's rules. She comes into play later in the film when her clean cut ex-boyfriend Ted warns her about the male motorcycle gang that has it out for the Man-Eaters. Ted often implores Karen to leave, but she refuses. I think Ted and Karen are supposed to be the moral center, acknowledging that being in any sort of gang probably is not good, but most of the film makes it seem kind of fun. However, the majority of the film is racing and the stud line parties. Lewis uses the shots of people driving away and parking way too much, but it's kind of a fun film when there is dialogue. The final scenes of the battle with the male motorcycle gangleader is bananas in the most perfect way possible.
Dir. David O'Malley || 1989 || USA
Easy Wheels is an odd and occasionally funny comedy with the pedigree of having been written by Ivan and Sam Raimi (Sam writing under the pseudonym Celia Abrams) and being produced by Robert Tapert and Bruce Campbell. Like She-Devils on Wheels, it concerns a rival male and female motorcycle gangs, but with added mythos behind each leader. She-Wolf (Eileen Davidson from The House on Sorority Row and the soap operas The Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives, and The Bold and the Beautiful) is the leader of the gang The Women of the Wolf. They have been riding around the Midwest and stealing babies. They deposit the female babies to a park so that they can be raised by wolves and they leave the male babies with a baby broker who runs a sleazy bar. She-Wolf was raised by wolves herself and believes that she can create a new and more formidable society of women by stealing babies and having them also raised by wolves. They are tracked throughout the Midwest by The Bourne Losers, lead by Bruce, a Vietnam vet with a steel plate in his head that causes him to have visions. The gang's goals are to "find the evil, destroy the evil, and find a really great lite beer." So in real life, they would probably still be roaming around, twenty years later. Of course when they finally cross paths, She-Wolf and Bruce are immediately attracted to each other, causing She-Wolf to want to give up her abstinence (much to the dismay of her more devoted and/or lesbian gang members) so that she and the other members can bear children of free-spirited men. Bruce mostly remains in denial about She-Wolf being a babynapper.
Yeah, for a goofy little comedy, it kind of has a complicated plot. The ending gets a little confused in its message. Both gangs are laughable in their own ways, but I guess it is a given that babynapping is wrong, so The Bourne Losers are given more preference. Unlike The Man-Eaters in She-Devils on Wheels, The Women of the Wolf are a gang not only because they can fight and fight well, but because they are sick of being treated as second-class citizens. But it's hard to view them as "evil" when all they want is to remain independent and have a better society, either at a micro level or at a macro level.
