Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.
[more �]
MPAA Rating: PG-13
A man and woman (John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale), both of
whom are romantically involved with others, meet in a department store and spend a
glorious few hours together. They part, but are never able to forget each other. Fate
continues to deliver signs that they belong together and they go through several
adventures before they find each other again. Also with Jeremy Piven, John Corbett and
Molly Shannon. [1:25]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - We see a man and woman nude through a window; they are
kissing and swaying (we see his bare back and her bare shoulders and upper chest), she
lies back on a sofa, and then we see him holding her panties (we don't see her at this
point; the scene is brief). We see a woman sleeping and she has bare shoulders. A man and
woman kiss romantically several times, a woman kisses a man on the cheek, a man kisses a
woman on the arm. A man tells a woman he has a crush on her. There are a few sexual
references: a conversation about a couple's sex life, a reference to having one last fling
before getting married, an artist says "she sat on me" rather than "she sat
for me." There are several homosexual references between two women and two men: A man
massages a man's shoulders, a man makes a joke about being a man's first wife, two women
are mistaken as being a couple, and a woman says "goodbye my lesbian lover" to
another woman.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A woman is hit in the head by a golf ball and is smacked
in the head by a golf club. A man grabs another man by the lapels and yells at him. A
music video shows a group of men dressed like Vikings writhing in pain and falling to the
ground (due to the sound of the music). A man dressed in a golf ball and tee costume is
wrapped up in a dog's leash and falls to the ground. A man grabs a man's leg and is
dragged on the ground. A woman trips and falls while ice skating and gets a scratch on her
elbow. Some people argue over a pair of gloves in a store.
PROFANITY 4 - 6 scatological terms, 1 anatomical term, 10 mild obscenities,
8 religious exclamations. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Fate and destiny, love, soulmates, extortion, privacy
laws, New Age theories, mythological explanations.
MESSAGE - Leaving life to chance can leave you lonely and longing. If you
want to improve yourself you must sometimes be content to be thought of as a fool.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

Feminist News
Woman Sues GOP for Lewd Behavior
Former GOP fund-raiser Deborah Henson has launched $21.5 million lawsuit against the Republican National Committee amid allegations supported by colleagues that the environment at the RNC headquarters is hostile to women, people of color, and homosexuals. The suit alleges, "The RNC maintains a work place wherein sexual, racial, homophobic, appearance-based and anti-Semitic comments, jokes and horseplay are commonplace, tolerated and encouraged."
Henson, a fund-raiser with a long history with the GOP, spent five months at party headquarters and says she was not given a full-time job in the RNC because she was overweight and a woman. The lawsuit describes numerous accounts of "lewd and offensive" behavior including an allegation that RNC Finance Director Albert Mitchler fondled women and made them sit on his lap. The RNC denies the allegations.

This is a small, scholarly focused exhibition of about fifty pieces of the distinctive "artistic furniture" and related objects produced by the workshop of Charles Rohlfs (American, 1853–1936) in Buffalo, New York. His unusually inventive forms and imaginative carving combined many influences, from the abstract naturalism of Art Nouveau to the bold forms of the Arts and Crafts movement. The exhibition explores Rohlfs's work in the context of new research that reveals his success in Europe as well as in America, and traces his influence on other twentieth-century furniture designers.
The exhibition is made possible by Alamo Rent A Car.
Additional support is provided by the Windgate Charitable Foundation.
The exhibition was organized by the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Chipstone Foundation, and American Decorative Art 1900 Foundation.

Research reveals doubling of psychotropic drugs when people enter NI care homes
21/02/2013 - 07:13:31Back to Ireland Home
The number of older people prescribed drugs that impact their mood and behaviour almost doubles when they move to care homes in the North, new research has indicated.
A Queen's University study of 250,000 people over 65, found an increase from 14% to 26% of people being prescribed any kind of psychotropic drug on entering care.
Of those people who went into care, antipsychotic drug dispensing more than doubled from 8% before entry to 18% afterwards – compared with just 1% of older people living in the wider community.
The study also showed how one in six people who had no history with psychotropic drugs were prescribed them when they entered a home, with nearly 40% of new residents given a hypnotic drug at least once during their first six months in care.
Lead researcher Aideen Maguire, who is based in the Centre of Excellence for Public Health Northern Ireland said: "Although drug dispensing is high in older people in the community, we have found that it increases dramatically on entry to care.
"This study showed that the high uptake of psychotropic drugs observed in care homes in Northern Ireland cannot be explained by a continuation of drug use initiated in the community prior to entering care."
Ms Maguire cited new diagnoses, the worsening of an existing condition, drugs not being prescribed as they should be or their use to help with anxiety related to going into care as possible reasons for the increase.
She said: "With an ageing population globally it is important that we look at the reasons behind this type of increase following admission to care.
"Antipsychotic uptake in Northern Ireland is similar to that in the rest of the UK and Ireland, and this study highlights the need for routine medicines reviews especially during the transition into care."
With an increasingly aged population and the number of people entering care set to increase, Professor Carmel Hughes from the School of Pharmacy at Queen's said it is important society looks at the quality of care provided to older people.
She added: "It is vitally important that we look at the reasons behind the increase in the prescription of psychotropic drugs in care homes."
The study, which was carried out by researchers from Queen's Centre for Public Health in the School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, was carried out between 2008-2010 and is due to be published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

A fresh row has erupted over the proposed promotion of chief executive Matt Barrett to chairman of Barclays, contravening the Higgs code on corporate governance.
Leading shareholders have told Barclays non-executive directors they are not satisfied by a letter sent to them that attempts to explain the decision. The letter was signed by Sir Peter Middle ton, current chairman, who intends to hand over to Barrett next year.
Higgs says chief executives should not normally become chairmen as they cannot be viewed as independent after holding a position where they have been closely identified with a company's previous strategy.
Barclays is the first big FTSE-100 company to break with the Higgs code, which asks firms to comply with its recommendations or explain why they haven't. But big City shareholders contend that Middleton's assurances fell well short of adequately justifying the decision to elevate Barrett.
Said one investor: 'We have to get things right with Barclays, as it is the first company that has decided to ignore Higgs on this issue. If we don't, other firms may be encouraged to break with Higgs for flimsy reasons.'
It is understood that some investors want Barrett to limit the term he will serve as chairman, and for Middleton to demonstrate in a more thorough manner that alternative candidates did not match Barrett's abilities. The Association of British Insurers is attempting to mediate in the dispute and industry sources feel confident a face-saving formula can be found for both sides.
Middleton's letter said that Barrett was the board's unanimous choice because he is 'an inspirational leader' and 'an experienced international businessman' with a 'deep and broad' knowledge of the financial services industry.
Sir Peter added: 'He brings a wide experience and perspective yet, when he retires as group chief executive, he will have spent a relatively short part of his career with Barclays. The board feels there is much to be gained from his continued presence as chairman. There is no reason to believe his objectivity will be affected - as it might have been had his whole career been with Barclays.'
Barrett last month was at the centre of storm when he told MPs that credit cards were 'too expensive'. His remarks were viewed as damaging to Barclaycard, the UK's biggest credit card issuer.
Barclays is due to produce a trading statement this week. Shareholders are keen to receive an update on the UK bank's bid for Banco Atlantico.

Our Michigan auto accident attorneys recently filed a lawsuit for a woman who suffered serious injuries in a Westland, Michigan auto accident. She was driving her car her car eastbound on Cherry Hill Road and approached a green light at the Merriman Road Intersection.

Michigan laws have specific statutes that address accidents in which a driver fails to yield right of way and causes an accident with another automobile. These specific laws include Mich. Comp. Laws Ann §257.649 – that the at fault driver was negligent for "Failing to slow his vehicle, make the proper observations and to yield the right-of-way in compliance with a "yield right-of-way" sign which confronted the driver at this intersection

RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Morocco's King Mohamed VI says he would not have pardoned a Spanish man convicted of raping 11 children if he had been aware of his crimes.
The pardon sparked demonstrations that were broken up by police with clubs, leaving at least 63 people injured.
The king's cabinet said in a statement Sunday that the king "was never informed in any way or at any time of the severity of the crimes" committed by the Spaniard, one of 48 prisoners he pardoned July 30 at the request of Spain's King Juan Carlos.
The king "would never have consented" if he had been aware. The statement named the convict as Daniel Galvan Fina. He is believed to be in Spain.
The king ordered an investigation into those responsible for "this regrettable liberation."

The Rangers have made their Blue-or-die, hyperventilating fan base proud, and as they skated off the ice, Rangers in Paradise boarding a 2 p.m. charter out of Westchester for Los Angeles, they pronounced themselves ready to make New York proud one more time.
"We have a lot of Ranger fans that are extremely loyal and extremely well-versed in our team, and they care a lot," Marc Staal was saying. "You get this far and other people start paying attention, but those same fans that have been cheering for us a very long time are the ones that you play for and the ones that it becomes more special for."
Staal was asked: Are you ready to continue to make them proud?
"Yeah, absolutely," Staal said. "We're ready to go. We're extremely excited to get over there and start playing hockey games. It feels like it's been forever."
King Henrik versus the Kings, beginning Wednesday night, for king of the sport.
"Enjoy the ride," is Henrik Lundqvist's message to New York and New York Rangers fans.
"You want to make your teammates proud," Lundqvist told The Post. "You play for yourself, you play for your teammates, but also play for this organization and the fans and everybody that cares. When you play for an organization, you want to make the fans happy 'cause they show up every game. … It would not be the same without the fans, that's for sure, because if it was an empty building (chuckle), it would still be exciting 'cause it matters a lot to us."
Lundqvist mentions the Game 6 clincher against Montreal at the Garden and says: "To feel that atmosphere, it just adds so much to the experience."
Teammates who love one another, playing for themselves, and a city that loves them as well.
"We want to be accountable to each other. We need to be able to look at one another in the eye in the room, and have that guy looking back at us knowing that we gave our all, " Brian Boyle told The Post. "And that's what's important because we're in the battle, we're doing these things and … that's where the team is so close, we know we've done that.
"And that extends to the coaches and to our families and to our big New York Rangers family, it extends to all of them. We want to be proud of what we've done as individuals, as a team obviously, in our effort. And if we can't be proud with ourselves and we can't be satisfied with our own efforts, we can't expect the fans to be. So we want, first and foremost, to give it everything we have, and then to be appreciated, that's huge for us, 'cause it helps motivate us, helps give us that shot of adrenaline to keep pushing forward.
"When you hear the Garden like it is, you find new levels that you never thought you could get to as an athlete. It's been a wild ride. And they're not easy to please. So when we challenge ourselves, and when we get behind the 8-ball a little bit like we did maybe in the Pittsburgh series [down 3-1], and we come back with an effort like we did and we hear 'em have our backs like that, we know we've done something pretty good."
It helps motivate us, helps give us that shot of adrenaline to keep pushing forward. When you hear the Garden like it is, you find new levels that you never thought you could get to as an athlete.- Brian Boyle
No matter what happens in Games 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup finals, Brad Richards can't wait to return to the Rangers fans for Games 3 and 4.
"Be ready to get behind us, help us out when we get back, 'cause no matter win or lose, those Games 3 and 4 are going to be really important," he said. "That's a middle part of the series that really can swing it. … Hockey's that type of sport, when you have confidence and the fans, it gets the other team on their heels sometimes when they don't need to be. They feel like we're coming faster and stronger, feel like there's way more going on just 'cause fans get in it, and that helps a lot. It's hard to describe how much it does help."
Richards was asked if this team was ready to continue to make Rangers fans proud.
"No matter what, we want to make the fans proud, but we want to win a Cup for this locker room, and we know that that will all take care of itself, the fans would be very proud," Richards said. "We don't feel like we're done, and hopefully they don't think we're done and they want to get behind us and make this even more special."
Ryan McDonagh's message to Rangers fans: "Just continue to believe, like we do in our team."
The magic number to the Cup: 4.
"It's gonna be an exciting couple of weeks, and it's gonna be a hard-fought series, it's gonna be emotional at times," Derek Dorsett said. "We're looking forward to it, and hopefully we can get out there and steal a couple and get back to our fans here in New York and get the Garden rocking."
Dorsett was asked what kind of Rangers team fans should expect to watch on their televisions.
"Obviously a team that's gonna compete and not lie down at any time, a team that's going to play fast, like we have in the second half of the year," he said. "It's gonna be an exciting team to watch play."
Boyle's message to Rangers fans: "Continue to enjoy it, and greet us warm when we come back."

So you guys and gals who have bench-top drill presses, but who don't have any bench top to spare, what kind of stand do you have your drill press on?
I want to make something that will:
be sturdy,
not tip over,
be portable,
have some storage,
be simple to build,
not look awful, but I'm not looking for fine furniture either, and
might have some other use if/when I get a floor standing drill press.
Pictures wanted.

In September, the University of Michigan Press faced intense criticism from pro-Israel groups -- and questions from some regents -- over its distribution of a book called Overcoming Zionism, which argues that the creation of Israel was a mistake and urges adoption of the "one state" solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which Israelis and Palestinians would form a new country, without a Jewish character. Michigan wasn't the publisher, but it distributed the book under a deal with Pluto Press, a leftist British publisher with extensive lists on the Middle East and international affairs.
Some critics of the book demanded that Michigan stop distributing the book, which it briefly did, and cut ties to Pluto immediately. The university declined to do so, and resumed distributing the book, citing both contractual obligations to Pluto and concerns that halting distribution because of content would raise issues of academic freedom. By the end of this year, however, Michigan will no longer be distributing the book or have any ties to Pluto Press.
Michigan says that this is because of appropriate new rules about the press role in distributing books it hasn't itself vetted. But Pluto sees the new rules as window dressing that gave the university an excuse to satisfy Pluto's critics while avoiding the appearance of doing so.
The Michigan-Pluto relationship is typical of the deals struck by many university presses in the United States with foreign publishers of academic work. By handling distribution and some publicity for overseas publishers, American publishers earn some revenue and build ties to the international publishing world. Many presses have a number of such relationships and they aren't much remarked upon, but they mean that someone looking at the University of Michigan Press Web site would find books from Pluto, including Overcoming Zionism. That book, by Joel Kovel, a Bard College professor, set off letter-writing and e-mail campaigns to Michigan leaders demanding that ties to Pluto be cut.
While Pluto publishes many serious scholarly works -- by professors from all over the world -- it is different from American university presses in that Pluto has an explicitly radical agenda. Among those who publish with Pluto are Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, bell hooks, and Ariel Dorfman. The Middle East books include many that are sharply critical of Israel and sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.
When Michigan decided not to call an immediate halt to its Pluto ties, it announced a review of procedures for distribution relationships with other presses. That review resulted in new guidelines adopted in January stating that Michigan will consider such relationships only with a publisher "whose mission is aligned with the mission of the UM Press and whose academic standards and processes of peer review are reasonably similar to those of the UM Press." The university said it would apply these new standards when existing contracts expire, as is the case with Pluto right now.
When the guidelines came out, many in publishing assumed Pluto was destined to be kicked out of Michigan's universe because its publishing program seeks to advance political goals, while Michigan publishes books with political goals, but has a peer review system based on scholarship. But in an interview Tuesday, Peggy McCracken, an associate dean at Michigan who is chair of the executive board of the press, said that politics wasn't the issue. She said that because Pluto doesn't have peer review on the Michigan model, it would be inappropriate to keep the ties. She said Pluto uses peer review on proposals and chapters, but not the finished manuscript.
"The issue is review procedures," she said.
Asked if critics of Overcoming Zionism had now achieved their goals, McCracken said that was not the case. "The initial decision of the executive board of the press was that it would not make a decision based on a particular book," she said. McCracken added that "certainly the free and open exchange of ideas is th foundation of everything we do at the university."
McCracken said that the executive board of the press -- made up of faculty members -- made the decision that Pluto did not qualify. She declined to say whether the vote was unanimous. McCracken said she received more than 800 e-mail messages with advice on the matter.
Roger van Zwanenberg, chairman of Pluto, said that there was no doubt in his mind but that for political opposition to a book critical of Israel, his press and Michigan's press would still be doing business. "What this tells you is that there are dark forces in America who would like to control the flow of ideas, and they are powerfully organized and they are very dangerous," he said.
Many American academic authors come to Pluto because of its independence of such forces, and he said that makes Michigan's move all the more disappointing. He said that Pluto planned to seek another American publisher to handle distribution in the United States.
The University of Michigan Press knew "from day one of our contract" that Pluto's peer review was not identical to that of a university press, van Zwanenberg said. So the "sudden hurdle" of having identical peer review to a university press was "a facade," he said, to hide the way the university "has not stood up for free speech."
Sanford G. Thatcher, director of the Penn State University Press and president of the Association of American University Presses, said he valued the work done by Pluto and other presses. But he said that Michigan's experience may suggest the down sides for university presses of relationships with such publishers.
"On a practical business level I would weigh the potential political fallout heavily in deciding whether to distribute a foreign press's titles, especially after what happened at Michigan," he said. "Most people simply are not aware that distributed titles are not vetted by the distributing press in the same way its own titles are, so there is always the danger that Michigan experienced of having its own reputation for high standards of peer review sullied by association."
Some of the pro-Israel blogs that first raised questions about Overcoming Zionism are praising Michigan for its latest decision. These blogs describe Pluto's Israel-related publishing as anti-Semitic and say that the University of Michigan shouldn't have played any part in helping those books find readers.
A blog that has defended Pluto is arguing that the "Zionist thought police" inflamed the situation, leading the university to adopt procedures that assured that it would have no choice but to cut ties to Pluto. And that blogger didn't even think Overcoming Zionism was that thoughtful a book in its critique of Israel.

"Obama Finds Oil in Markets Is Sufficient to Sideline Iran" [1]
"After careful analysis of oil prices and months of negotiations, President Obama on Friday determined that there was sufficient oil in world markets to allow countries to significantly reduce their Iranian imports, clearing the way for Washington to impose severe new sanctions intended to slash Iran's oil revenue and press Tehran to abandon its nuclear ambitions."
"The White House announcement comes after months of back-channel talks to prepare the global energy market to cut Iran out — but without raising the price of oil, which would benefit Iran and harm the economies of the United States and Europe.
Since the sanctions became law in December, administration officials have encouraged oil exporters with spare capacity, particularly Saudi Arabia, to increase their production. They have discussed with Britain and France releasing their oil reserves in the event of a supply disruption."

Soul Kitchen
Zinos, a young restaurant-owner, is left by his long-term girlfriend Nadine. Zinos spends more time in the restaurant than with her, and she has just been offered a job in Shanghai.
After she left, Zinos spirals into crisis mode and decides to sell his restaurant. The Soul Kitchen has certainly seen better days – it's not exactly buzzing, and Wilhelmsburg, the part of town where the restaurant is, is much too far away the hip, bustling atmosphere at the heart of Hamburg.
Zinos doesn't know better but to follow Nadine – so he tries to sell the restaurant. And suddenly there are only three weeks to go before the closure.
In these three weeks, pure anarchy breaks out in the Soul Kitchen: the chef cooks what he's always wanted to cook, a new DJ gets the guests dancing after their meals, artists exhibit their work – and the guests like it. Rumours of the cult Soul Kitchen spread right around Hamburg.
At the very last party, Zinos realises it was a mistake to sell the restaurant. When he finds out it's going to be torn down to make way for a shopping mall, he moves heaven and earth to get the Soul Kitchen back...

The Old Mission San Juan Bautista Reviews
837 reviews
The largest of the Franciscan missions. Apr 18, 2012
The fifteenth of twenty-one missions built along the "El Camino Real" between San Diego and San Francisco by the Franciscan order, is the largest and named after John the Baptist. Each was approximately one day's horseback ride apart. It was founded June 24, 1797, and it has served mass daily since then.
Barracks for the soldiers, a nunnery, and several other buildings were built around the large grassy area in front of the mission and nearly everyone remains today. In the center, open area is a very nice garden.
The mission sits adjacent to the San Andreas Fault, and has suffered damage from numerous earthquakes, such as those of 1800 and 1906. However, the mission was never entirely destroyed. It was restored initially in 1884, and then again in 1949, and new bell tower was built in 2010.
The mission is mostly a museum at this point and self-guided tours are available at a very inexpensive price. There is also a gift shop where you can purchase several small items which also are very low in price. One of the souvenirs is a small hand-painted copy of each of the 21 missions.
The main sanctuary still serves mass on a daily basis. And the burial grounds behind the mission number 2,835.
The Jose Castro House, now known as the Castro-Breen Adobe, was built in 1840 and sits across the street. Castro was Commandant General of Alta, California. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970 and is part of the San Juan Bautista Plaza Historic District, which is itself a National Historic Landmark District, and has been open to the public since 1935.

Gorgeous Mar 23, 2008
The Old Mission at San Juan Bautista is simply gorgeous. Of all of the missions that I have visited it's one of my favorites due to it's surroundings. The Old Mission is surrounded on all sides by the old town of San Juan Bautista and the expansive agricultural fields which only adds to the atmosphere and old time feel. You can imagine what life would have been like for those living in and near the mission in the early days. Though most of the buildings around it date to a much later period than the Mission it does not diminish the feel. It is one of the few missions that feels peaceful and joyous since it's still a living a breathing center for the community. Services are regularly held in the chapel and children are frequently running around the grassy area outside. It's truly beautiful.
