It sure didn't take long for DeSean Jackson to fall out of love with his new team.
So you're not sold on Nick Foles. And you're certainly not sold on Mark Sanchez.

CA health officials probing hospitals with high infection rates
California Watch, October 13, 2010
California health regulators are joining state and federal investigators in examining the practices of Prime Healthcare, a Southern California hospital chain with an unusually high rate of life-threatening infections, according to letters released to California Watch yesterday.
In the letter to lawmakers, California Department of Public Health authorities described extraordinary steps they plan to take to examine cases of septicemia in Prime hospitals, including reviews of individual patient records and hospital infection-control practices.

I have never written a review before but I was so delighted with the service I recieved I felt like I really had to! I ordered the Amelia dress (short) in ivory on Friday and it arrived on Saturday. As it was the weekend I never expected it until Monday at the earliest, so it was a very nice surprise. I have tried it on and it is just beautiful. It is well made, lovely and soft and plenty of room left for my growing bump. I am 25 weeks pregnant just now but I will be around 36 when I wear it at my wedding. It makes me feel lovely, I tried on other maternity wedding dresses and they made me look huge and frumpy. I am so pleased I went for this one

Garlic Scape Carbonara
One-half pound campanella pasta, or shape of your choosing
4 slices bacon or pancetta, chopped
1/4 cup garlic scapes, chopped in a food processor
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to directions (about 10 minutes). While it's cooking, cook the bacon or pancetta in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and add the garlic scapes. Cook until soft and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. If there is excess bacon fat, remove scapes and drain pan. Otherwise proceed with recipe.
Whisk together the eggs, salt and red pepper flakes.
When the pasta is done, drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, with heat on low. Toss with the scapes and bacon. Add the egg mixture and stir, scraping up the bottom so the egg doesn't set (like scrambled eggs) for 3 to 4 minutes until sauce is thick and creamy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with Romano cheese, a little at a time, and stir to combine. Add chopped parsley and stir to just combine. Serve immediately.

When the rock ends and only sand remains, use your gravity gun. Use it to place a door or wooden piece in the sand and stand on it. Then, place another object in front of it.

The Mavericks will not officially announce their change-of- ownership at a Monday press conference as planned due to continuing delays in completing the legal aspects of the deal, reports Brad Townsend of THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS. Although "no major obstacles" are in the way of Ross Perot Jr.'s purchase from Donald Carter, Perot's lawyers have requested paperwork from the NBA that will not be forwarded until late Monday or Tuesday. So, Thursday or Friday is the earliest the sale will be completed. When the deal is done, Perot is expected to meet with Stars Owner Tom Hicks and decide how they will "align" their two franchises. Sources suggest three possibilities: Cross- ownership, where Hicks buys a percentage of the Mavs and Perot a percentage of the Stars and both teams cut costs by combining tickets offices, sales and marketing; merging the two teams under one corporate umbrella; remaining separate entities, but sharing the revenue from a new arena (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 4/22).

Need a handy scapegoat? Call a plumber
Luke Blackall
Luke Blackall edits the i's Caught and Social column.
Wednesday 25 July 2012
When David Gauke, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, suggested that it was "morally wrong" to receive "a discount with your plumber by paying cash in hand," he was treading the well-trodden path of using plumbers as political wrenches.
Around 2004, they became the focal point of both anger and admiration in the UK for speculative reports on just how much they were earning.
And the practice isn't just confined to these shores. In 2005 "Le plombier polonais" became a buzz phrase in France, where it was used to describe the raft of eastern Europeans heading west.
In 2008 "Joe the Plumber" – real name Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, became a darling of the American right after he questioned the then presidential hopeful Barack Obama over his tax plans.
Nearly 40 years before President Richard Nixon created a different notion of "the plumber" when he tasked a covert group known as the "White House Plumbers", to plug leaks to the media. Some of its members later became involved in the Watergate break-ins.

We tell stories for different reasons. If you're about to read Ebert's LIFE ITSELF, it might be helpful to consider why he writes these memoirs as he does.
He's not really telling his stories to inform us or to broaden our knowledge about large and small eating places that he has loved around the world, or the great pals he has accumulated in a very full life...

5.0 out of 5 stars At The Movies,
This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Hardcover)
This memoir opens as though someone had created a set, arranged the lights, positioned actors, and yelled "Action!" Ebert is three years old, sensing the motions of parents, aunts, uncles and extended family, reacting to various stimuli, seemingly aware, even at this age, the cameras are rolling.
The book has a lot in common with the Gunther Grass novel The Tin Drum, as Ebert recalls his early years, then in vivid detail, matinee afternoons with his parents watching the Marx Brothers hit, A Day At The Races, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and one of the first 3D films, Bwana Devil. Early screen heroes were Whip Wilson and Lash LaRue, characters who carried guns but didn't need them because they also carried whips and could slash a pistol from your grip before you could aim it. He remembers the ubiquitous aroma of popcorn, the high movie house ceilings, and girls with rolls of Necco wafers.
Then came college, 1963, the year Dick Butkus and Jim Grabowski led the University of Illinois to the Rose Bowl. "I became friendly with a voluptuous woman under a grey woolen blanket. In the middle of the night, rocking through the midlands, we made free with each other." He had fun, but also vigorous preparation, working for the Daily Illini newspaper with its Associated Press affiliation, spending hours setting hot lead Linotype, and reading the voluminous novels of Thomas Wolfe.
One of Ebert's transcendent skills has always been the interview, and the book is full of them - John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Woody Allen and the enigmatic Igmar Bergman are represented, but the best one takes place with Robert Mitchum. You can hear Mitchum speaking the interview lines, and for a brief time, you are in one of his movies. "I knew him," Mitchum says of Humphrey Bogart. "He and I were good friends. He once said to me: `the thing that makes you and I different from those other guys is, we're funny.'"
Over a lifetime of watching movies, Ebert has reached some conclusions about them. "Movies aren't about what happens to the characters. They're about the example [the characters] set. Casablanca is about people who do the right thing. The Third Man is about people who do the right thing and can't speak to each other as a result. You may need awhile to think about this, but the deep secret of The Silence Of The Lambs is that Hannibal Lecter is a Good Person."
He has mixed feelings about the contemporary movie scene as this passage on page 160 reveals: "When you go to the movies every day, sometimes it seems as if the movies are more mediocre than ever, more craven, more cowardly, more determined to pander to our lowest tastes instead of educating them." He adores black and white films, and offers movie goers this test: "take a picture of your grandparents, probably taken in black and white, and put it next to a picture of your parents probably taken in color. The picture of your grandparents will probably seem timeless, the one of your parents will probably seem goofy."
He ends the book as a man larger than the motion picture industry he critiqued, emerging as someone very much at home with his contribution to film and even more so, to his family. Easily the best book I've read this year.
Cut. Print it.

This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Hardcover)
We tell stories for different reasons. If you're about to read Ebert's LIFE ITSELF, it might be helpful to consider why he writes these memoirs as he does.
He's not really telling his stories to inform us or to broaden our knowledge about large and small eating places that he has loved around the world, or the great pals he has accumulated in a very full life. He's not primarily interested in entertaining us or holding our attention, though I think he expects that will happen--and it probably will.
I believe Ebert is telling these stories the way people do in the later years of our lives--as a precious kind of taking stock for ourselves, a summing up (the title of Somerset Maugham's memoirs), a saying of the rosary of our days. Every bead is cherished. The litany of names of pals and what they drank and where they sat and who they out-smarted and how much they loved us and we them--this review and re-telling is as much a part of the so-called third stage of life as learning to talk is of the first stage.
If you know this in advance, then you can sit back and let Roger tell you all the details, and smile and nod in appreciation of the man telling the stories. I skipped a number of chapters--each too long for too little of what I was interested in. Other chapters I read slowly, gleaning every grain I could.
I don't think I could have NOT read this book. Roger Ebert's is the major voice on a subject I've been passionate about for more than seventy years. I advise potential readers of the book to sit back, enjoy, be patient, skip when you feel like it, and realize how lucky we are to have the book and the man.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Put This Book Down,
G.I Gurdjieff "gurdjieff" (Florida, Il, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Hardcover)
I loved this book for a lot of reasons, but bought it for one reason. I LOVE MOVIES! I've spent decades going to the movies and loving even some really bad ones. I was certain Roger Ebert would have plenty to say regarding film, its directors, its writers and its stars.
In this book, Ebert delivers. It is loaded with anecdotes about the people he's come in contact with as a film critic, but it also has a huge amount of heart and is surprisingly revealing in regard to the private person who is also known as Roger Ebert. If Ebert is unsparing in his film criticisms, he is also unsparing when he covers his own life. From growing up in Urbana, IL and attending the home town University of Illinois, he covers his short career covering sports, a fortuitous shot at the Chicago Sun-Times film critic job which established his reputation as a sharp reviewer, a brush with alcoholism, a sometimes adversarial relationship with fellow critic Gene Siskel, a later in life marriage with his soulmate Chaz, and a decimating encounter with cancer which even after several surgeries has robbed him of his ability to speak and eat. For someone who was not only a fluid writer/speaker this was one heck of a challenge.
While getting personal, I found he really seemed to leave nothing out. Be it his complex relationships with women (he had three very serious ones with divorced ladies who coincidentally had children) or his even more complex relationship with his widowed mother Annabel, he apparently left nothing out. From my pov, anyone who writes about themselves are wise to be as honest as possible.
Ebert speaks in detail of the small and big things that have influenced his life and career, meaningful and/or memorable
encounters with the famous, and he remembers with clarity small sensory things that most us take for granted. He is incredibly positive and optimistic given all he has gone through over the past few years. I don't like using the word 'inspirational', but his take on life certainly has made a positive impression on me.
One really mundane thing discussed is his love of Steak and Shake. While the burger emporium has expanded over the country in the past few years, this was a phenomena that was once only available in central Illinois. Ebert loves the place. All the S&S talk made me really hungry.
I've had my share of Ebert spottings through the years as we both live in the same area. He's the local celebrity and he is very recognizable. I've gone to lectures he's given on film. I've read his other books. However, this is the book that will stand out among the others because it is comprehensive, very personal, and enormously interesting because of its wide range of topics and candor. If you have a preconceived notion of who Roger Ebert is, reading this book may very well change your mind.

This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Audio CD)
I was able to read parts of the print version of this wonderful new book by Roger Ebert but then the AUDIO version arrived and I switched to that. (I'm a big audio fan.) If you know of Ebert's recent health problems - which are covered in the book near the end, but are mentioned periodically throughout - you know that he has lost the ability to speak (as well as eat). So, obviously, he was not going to be reading his own words for the audio version. Hachette Audio made a great choice in choosing actor Edward Hermann. I've been a big fan of Hermann's readings over the last 25 years. (Yes, some of my favorite "books on tape" (remember tape?) were his readings. And he's perfect for Ebert's calm descriptions of growing up in Urbana, Illinois, going to college, getting his job with the Chicago Sun-Times and a lifelong career in film criticism and reviewing. His wife Chaz is never far away from his thoughts either.
As for the contents of the book, I'll defer to previous reviewer Robert Taylor Brewer, who pretty much covers the books contents - without giving away the details of some great stories. My favorite was the chapter on Russ Meyer - for whom Ebert wrote the script for the sexploitation film "Beyond The Valley of the Dolls". I always wanted to know how he and Meyer met and that chapter filled me in. To have someone move from Meyer to Bergman to John Wayne tells you the breadth of Ebert's circle.
So, if you don't have the time to sit and read this 448-page volume, you will certainly enjoy the 14 hour audio book. The print edition gives you the extra benefit of having an Index - so you can go back to favorite places or jump ahead to topics or personalities that most interest you. Either way this book gets five stars from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars There are certain books it's a privilege to review, and LIFE ITSELF is one of that small number,
Bookreporter (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Hardcover)
Roger Ebert has spent a lifetime as a critic, immersed in the world of cinema as he thoughtfully appraises the work of actors, directors and screenwriters. Now, approaching the end of his seventh decade, he has focused his critical lens on his own life in this insightful, compassionate, witty and moving self-portrait.
LIFE ITSELF grew out of the blog Ebert began writing in 2008, and portions, such as the glimpse of his reading life, "Books Do Furnish a Room," will look familiar to its regular readers. Though it presents a comprehensive and, in some instances, roughly chronological account of his life, including the pleasures his work and attendant fame have brought him and the harrowing ordeal of his recent illnesses, each of the chapters works as a freestanding piece. Ebert's memory for detail is prodigious and his ability to evoke people and places compelling.
Born in 1942, Ebert "grew up in security and comfort" in Urbana, Illinois, his father an electrician for the University of Illinois and his mother employed by a finance company. Realizing only years later that "my parents never really had much money," he recounts with obvious pleasure what amounted to something close to an idyllic post-war Middle American boyhood. There are no revelations of sexual abuse or other dark subjects, but he acknowledges his parents' problems with alcohol, an affliction he overcame in 1979 with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous. From the day he landed his first newspaper job at age 16, it seemed his career as a journalist was preordained, not least in the way he effortlessly slipped into the job of film critic at the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967.
Though the book eventually returns to more personal subjects (including his passion for travel, his seriocomic romantic life and his lust for a 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk), about midway through Ebert shifts his attention to the world of film. There's an affectionate chapter on his friendship with softcore porn king Russ Meyer, with whom he co-wrote the screenplay for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Movie buffs will appreciate his portraits of actors like Lee Marvin, Robert Mitchum and John Wayne, although younger readers may wish for some more contemporary portraits.
Ebert himself is quick to mourn how his loss of speech has curtailed his "freedom to interview" and the lengthening list of "new stars and directors coming up now whom I will never get to know that way." To his appraisals of directors Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, and his directorial and personal idol, Werner Herzog, he brings the well-honed eye of the critic and the enthusiasm of a fan.
With the exception of a brief jab at critic John Simon, for whom he feels "repugnance," Ebert's memoir is free of rancor, remarkably so for a public figure who, like any other, has had to endure his share of criticism. If anything, the book is suffused with a sense of gratitude and tinged with regret that perhaps he wasn't able to repay fully the generosity of his mentors, Chicago legends Studs Terkel ("the greatest man I knew well") and Mike Royko among them.
In that spirit, Ebert devotes a chapter that's both tender and candid to his relationship with the late Gene Siskel, one that brought enduring celebrity to both and whose end when Siskel died of brain cancer in 1999 he still mourns. The intense rivalry that flashed in their often heated debates about movies was real, he confirms, but in the end he wistfully acknowledges that "no one else could possibly understand how meaningless was the hate, how deep was the love." And on the subject of love, the portrait of his wife Chaz is one any spouse would cherish.
Despite the mushrooming medical calamity that has dominated his life beginning in 2006 (an operation for thyroid cancer followed by three failed reconstructive surgeries left him with a severe facial deformity, unable to speak or eat), Ebert understands he's led a life many would envy. But he's never mistaken the glamorous surface of the world he inhabits for life's essence, and he's eager to offer his views on religion (he's a secular humanist), the afterlife (there is none) and politics ("'Kindness covers all of my political beliefs."). What makes the experience of spending a few days in his company even more pleasurable is an accessible, almost conversational prose style that has helped make him such a popular critic for nearly 45 years.
There are certain books it's a privilege to review, and LIFE ITSELF is one of that small number. Facing terrible pain, disfigurement and loss, Roger Ebert long ago could have retreated into a private, silent world. Instead, he's still sending out small sparks of light from the inside of a darkened movie theater and now in this honest, deeply felt reminiscence. That's a tribute to him, and a gift to all of us.

Dear Roger Ebert,
You were the greatest film critic in the world. No one has ever or will ever eclipse you. Before I watched a movie, I always read your review. You and Gene Siskel broke ground with your Siskel and Ebert at the Movies show, introducing the thumb rating and more.
You surveyed movies with an eye for detail, a piercing knowledge of plot, acting, cinematography, and direction, a brilliant vocabulary, a brilliant insight into the theme and message of the film, and a style of writing that audiences loved everywhere. I remember your infamous North review ("Hated hated hated hated hated this movie."). I remember reading your reviews on Hitchcock, and thinking, "Wow, I didn't think of it that way. Brilliant!"
On top of that, you were a great family man, a loving husband, a devoted father, and a courageous cancer survivor. Throughout numerous operations and surgeries, you remained cheerful and never lost your sense of humour. You were modest, courageous, funny, and down-to-earth.
The entire cinematic world is devastated by your loss. You were a great critic - more than a great critic, and will be sorely missed. Our deepest sympathies go out to Chaz Ebert and your granddaughters.
R.I.P, Roger Ebert.

3.0 out of 5 stars I would have liked Ebert.,
This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Audible Audio Edition)
This autobiography is not a great book. Still, it is someone's life and there is always something to learn from every man's rambling, but this book is self-indulgent and suffers from a lack of a strong editor. The reader can tell that Ebert just wrote whatever he wanted and they published it. I just about quit the book a third of the way through--chapter after chapter about Urbana-Champaign in the 1950s from the point of view of a kid on a bike doing nothing particularly interesting. The first section is painful. It gets better, but still, don't pick this up until you have read Chernow and Massie and Manchester and so many others.
But there were a few nuggets worth sharing:
1. Siskel and Ebert both interviewed Dolly Parton (separately) at the opening junket for 9-to-5, held in Dallas. They both felt a powerful almost spiritual, healing or comforting, spirit in her presence that Ebert never had felt before or afterwards. Dolly Parton had greatly impacted both of them in a short period of time--she must be a transcendent person, full of grace.
2. Ebert loved London, going 2 or 3 times each year. He wrote a book about it: A Perfect London Walk. He liked to go to the same places each time, following a routine and becoming familiar with the same places as they changed over the years. It was like he was touching totems and becoming familiar with the foreign over the decades. He took great joy in seeing the same biker guy come in every afternoon to a certain pub and take the same table. They never spoke, but Ebert knew he would be there and watched for him. Odd. But beautiful in a way. It seems, at least before his marriage to Chaz, he was happiest in London.
3. "One of the most touching descriptions of Judaism I have ever heard", said Ebert referring to a discussion with Siskel about Judaism, which Siskel took very seriously. Siskel said: "It wasn't necessary to think too much about an afterlife, what what important was this life, how we live it, what we contribute, our families, and the memories we leave. The importance of Judaism isn't simply theological or, in the minds of some Jews, necessarily theologically at all, it is that we have stayed together and respected these things for thousands of years and so it is important that we continue."
4. He broke free, totally away from his mother, as an adult after she became an alcoholic. Completely cut her out of his life. She was a good woman and a good mother when Ebert was growing up, but become an alcoholic and became unbearable. Ebert was also an alcoholic for a few decades so he wasn't too hard on her, but to be happy, as a practical matter had to cut her out of his life. Sad. He cured his alcoholism through AA. He swore by it and attended meetings for the rest of his healthy life, wherever he was traveling he found meetings.
5. When Ebert was diagnosed with cancer, all his doctors recommended surgery. He got on the internet and determined that a new unproven neutron radiation treatment was the way to go. He debated his doctors for months until they agreed to give it a try. He is humble enough in this bio to admit that this was a huge mistake and directly led to the loss of his jaw (disfigurement) and would lead to an earlier than necessary death. He believes that if he had listened to his doctors and had the surgery, he would not have lost the jaw completely. He strongly cautions against following his example and trying to be an internet expert on your disease--trust your doctors, they really know more than you do and have your best interests at heart.
6. After he lost the ability to eat, being nourished completely by tube, he missed food, at first. But gradually he stopped missing food because he started remembering it. He could close his eyes and in his mind eat a burger from Stake and Shake, his favorite place from his childhood. He could remember with beautiful detail a soup in a cafe in the south of France, or the chips in a London pub. He was able to enjoy food, maybe more than ever before in his life, even though he could not eat it. I found this touching and insightful into how beautiful our memory can be.
7. Ebert was not a religious man, rejecting the Catholicism of his childhood (even after attending a Catholic school). ("They [the Catholic Church] have been fighting a holding action for a thousand years.") He considered himself a Humanist. He didn't think the existence of God was likely, but didn't call himself an atheist or agnostic because he wanted to be humble in the face of "the mystery we are forced to confess". "Absolutists frighten me", he said of hard core atheists. Maybe his commitment to AA moderated his rejection of God. But he rejected the idea a God that talked to man, even if men believed they heard his voice. He held an odd mix of doubt and reverence for how ignorant we are. He hated the prosperity gospel and sects that proselyte aggressively--"A worthy church must grow through attraction, not promotion".
8. In spite of religious estrangement, once in the hospital he was laying dead on the table and the doctors had given up on him, stopping their treatments. Ebert says he was not ready to die yet and was aware that he wanted to live. His wife Chaz was in the room and she claimed she could literally feel his heartbeat inside of her, that she could feel him not ready to die and wanting to live. Chaz told the doctors to try once more, that she was certain that he would live and that he was ready to be revived. They did and Ebert lived. He did not attribute this experience to a God with a beard and holes in his hands, but recognized it as an unexplained and merciful miracle.
9. Egbert loved and lived by a Brenden Beane [sp?] quote: "I respect kindness in human beings, first of all, and kindness to animals. I don't respect the law. I have total irreverence with anything connected to society, except that which makes the road safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter, and happier in the summer."
10. "Kindness sums up all my political beliefs. No need to spell them out."
Well, these comments have some pretty good stuff in them, but don't be fooled. The book wasn't that good--this is like a trailer that contains all the good parts of the movie. Ebert was a nice guy, a genuinely good guy, but this isn't a great autobiography.

Jon Hunt "musician, teacher" (Old Greenwich, Ct. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Hardcover)
Many memoirs, especially some that I have read recently, allow a small bit of light to shine on the author's words. Not so with Roger Ebert. His own story, titled "Life Itself", contains just about everything a reader (and in the past, a viewer) would like to know about him. It's a book of reflection, humor and great courage.
Ebert grew up during the Eisenhower years and for those of us who did also, it certainly was a time of innocence, compared to the 1960s and later. The author takes some time to explain the friction between his mother and him about the Catholic Church. She wanted him to save himself for the church. He never got close to that. It is fitting that he discusses his spirituality at the end of the book and how he grew into it and away from Catholicism. The first hundred pages or so of "Life Itself" are sort of standard memoir fare, but things really start to take off when he gets to London. From this point on, the book only gets better.
During and after London, Ebert gets passionate about everything. He gets hired at a very early age to become film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, and an unanticipated career begins. He drinks a lot and loves the company of both men and women. It's a heady time for Ebert. But then he confronts his alcoholism at the same time his mother enters into her own period of similar abuse. One can see the "color" of this memoir developing.
There are chapters devoted to movie stars and directors he gets to know with some great anecdotes sprinkled through. One involving Robert Mitchum's getting lost in Pittsburgh is terrifically funny. And you can almost hear John Wayne in conversation with Ebert. Not surprisingly, Woody Allen turns out to be as neurotic as he appears on screen. He does devote a long chapter to Gene Siskel and at first I was surprised Siskel isn't mentioned more in the book, but Ebert has other people he also wants us to know. The pages of his "romances" are worth every penny.
The most reflective parts come at the end. His illness and operations are described thoroughly and without rancor. He devotes long passages to his wife, Chaz, and how she has been his most wonderful partner. And being very direct, Ebert talks about his future.
This is a warm and open book. It is full of a range of emotions, written at a time when Ebert has the chance to tell readers about his life. In fact, the simple title, "Life Itself", almost speaks out saying, "here I am". I highly recommend it.

Aaron R. West (Columbia, SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Hardcover)
Ebert is a beautiful writer and his prose is terrific throughout the book. His choices in subjects, however, are a bit peculiar. He obviously is deeply passionate about some of the surprising topics in the book. His fondness for nostalgia comes across as he discusses Steak n' Shake, the Daily Illini, his old dog, the Tribune, Siskel and of course, Chaz. Some of his thought process seems random and disjointed -- there is little narrative thrust. For this reader, it was difficult to share the passion for some of the more obscure characters and I found myself drifting off during some chapters more than others. I considered putting the book down during the Tribune chapters, but wisely decided against it.
The book is clearly more for Ebert than for followers of his career. He races through the chronology of the TV show without a mention of the current iteration, or even Richard Roeper for that matter. He talks in depth about his experiences with Russ Meyer and a select number of actors and directors he cherishes, but little about other experiences near the film industry. Cannes gets discussed, but more for colorful characters he encounters rather than his own experiences. Even his own film festival is hardly mentioned.
Ebert has lived and continues to live a fascinating life. We get to know the man and some his tastes, but I think too many fascinating experiences were left on the cutting room floor.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not great,
This review is from: Life Itself: A Memoir (Hardcover)
Mine is one of the dissenting votes out there.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I bought a copy of Ebert's memoir. But I've long been an admirer of his reviews; for my money, he's America's best and most readable film critic.
I found the first half of the book a good read, a coherent, entertaining narrative. I especially enjoyed the chapters about Ebert's early newspaper career in Chicago. Some of his experiences were hilarious, right out of the classic Ben Hecht stage play The Front Page.
The last half of the book had its moments -- for example, Ebert's candid account of his illness and the predicament he now finds himself in, left me in awe of the man's courage -- but overall the latter chapters were desultory, and repitious. At several points I found myself wishing the publisher had assigned a good copy editor to clean up the manuscript. A blog does not a good book make.
Would I recommend Life Itself? This was a book that I was very much looking forward to reading. So yes, I'd give it a thumbs up -- please excuse the cliche, however, I'd do so with mixed emotions.

Welp, I've never driven through the Maine part of that... BUT my experience along the St. Lawrence, via Riviere-du-Loup, was so pleasant that I would not go through Maine if offered the chance to go from Mtl/QC to Nova Scotia again.
Not only that, but avoiding a couple of border encounters seems sensible in the summer too.
Were it me, I'd go Mtl... QC... Riviere-du-Loup... Fredericton... Sussex... Alma... HOPEWELL CAPE... Moncton... Truro... Antigonish... Baddeck.
Whatever you do, go to the following link and print out the TIDE TABLES for the Bay of Fundy at 3 or 4 locations, during the ENTIRE window of your trip.
Do it NOW... and then put it in the glove box for constant reference while touring in NS.
Include Hopewell Cape... Truro... and maybe one or two others.
IF you go to Hopewell Cape on the way IN... you'll have covered it... (at LOW tide, hopefully)... and then you can pass by at high tide on the way OUT of NS... for the needed contrast.

I tried Google maps to see what they said as I was interested myself - the only time we drove through Maine to get to Atlantic Canada was many years ago and it seemed to take a long long time.
However, if you put in Calais Maine as an intermediate destination (between Montreal and Baddeck), it gives a route which takes, according to them, just about the same amount of time as the route going through Canada (Riviere-du-Loup then through New Brunswick). This is "not" the long route we took (we stayed closer to the Maine shore and overnighted near Bar Harbour). But NorthwestMale brings up a good point about border crossings which can be busy with line-ups.

The tiny border crossing at Calais is so cute, though...
(why they even searched my trunk going into Canada)

I still remember walking down Logic Lane in Oxford, near the philosophy library during the late 1970's and thinking about Thomas Nagel's essay "What it is like to be a bat."
The idea, which Nagel discusses, that another living thing had real consciousness was a revelation to me. But ironically I didn't carry this over to my thinking about other creatures more closely related to me such as humans! I was a snob, and my lack of seeing that other people have feelings just as deep and complex as my own -- which I think represents a lot of people -- made me lonely and cruel. I really didn't see the philosophy I was studying at Oxford as having anything to do with my own personal feelings and thoughts.
That is why studying Aesthetic Realism means so much to me. I learned that the root cause of my trouble was contempt, building myself up falsely by making less of other people and things -- and this is a hurtful drive in every person. What I've learned from Aesthetic Realism, through literature, history, current events and more, has given me a new way of seeing people, including the people I knew at Oxford, with more depth, accuracy, and warmth. This includes my parents, Kathy and Robin Balchin, my sister, Heather Robertson, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and the young people I've taught for more than 32 years in New York City.
I began studying via consultations, and now I'm learning in the greatest classes in the world, taught by the greatest teacher I know, Ellen Reiss, the Chair of Education. Yes, I said greatest!
Self and World, an Explanation of Aesthetic Realism, by Eli Siegel, has been my guide these past three decades and more . I am proud to recommend the book that has made me kinder, happier, and has given me true pride!

Creating a Balance: Help Guests Stay Healthy While Traveling

As competition intensifies for business and leisure travelers, hotel brands are developing new custom experiences and amenities to help create loyalty among guests and build stronger brand identities. In a recent SmartBrief report sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, three personalized amenity programs designed for guests looking to stay healthy while traveling are explored.
1. For guests looking to experience the outdoors while burning calories, Kimpton Hotels expanded its entire portfolio to include a bicycle-share program, which started 10 years ago at Hotel Marlowe in Cambridge, MA. Kimpton made it a brand-wide program during summer 2013, and the launch was so successful that the brand is ordering more bicycles for next summer.
"Once they jump on and take it for a spin, they can't say enough about it. It gets written about in the comments all the time," said Mike DeFrino, COO of Kimpton. "We think that makes for good experiences, and we think it makes for good customers who want to keep trying things at our hotels and restaurants."
2. Attempting to serve a variety of demographics, hotels have paid close attention to the health and wellness needs of female travelers, who would prefer a private space to workout. Omni Hotels & Resorts met this need by offering female members of its Select Guest loyalty program a Get Fit Kit, in which they can request complimentary weights, a yoga mat, stretch mat or other equipment to be placed in the guestroom at check-in.
"I think some people just intuitively like the privacy of their room when they travel," said Tom Santora, chief marketing officer of Omni. Feedback from guest surveys has shown the program to be popular, he added.
3. Wellness encompasses more than working out. JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts saw an opportunity to incorporate healthy living into its turndown service with two custom amenities: an aromatherapy oil from Aromatherapy Associates and a bedtime snack bar, developed by noted nutritionist Keri Glassman, with natural ingredients intended to promote sleep.
"We've always found with our guests that they are focused on overall wellbeing," said Mitzi Gaskins, VP and global brand manager for JW Marriott. "These guests love a very balanced life. They want to do the same things on the road as they do at home. Offering the experiences helps add value to their trip. We feel that that's where we can create loyalty."

For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

The New Festive Spirit: A Christmas food special
Sunday 28 November 1999
l Although you can use the Web to avoid a trip to Tesco, the Net comes into its own in its ability to provide access to smaller suppliers, who may be based the other side of town, or the other side of the country. These will typically be specialist outfits, such as The Teddington Cheese (www.teddingtoncheese.co.uk).
l If you are looking for products made by a particular company, or you know the name of a supplier who is likely to sell those products, try putting "www." in front of the company's name, and ".com" afterwards. If that doesn't work, try ".co.uk" instead of ".com".
l If you aren't looking for goods from one particular supplier, a directory may be more use than a search engine. Web directories are lists of links to sites, compiled by humans and organised into subject categories. The oldest and most popular directory is Yahoo! Confusingly, it is usually described as a search engine. Strictly, it's a directory combined with a search engine facility: this is also true of other "search engines", such as Lycos. A Yahoo! search will thus typically deliver links to both individual Web pages and to categories. As in a public library, categories are extensively sub-divided, making it easy to narrow a search down from, say, "food" to "cheese". A longer-established brand of directory, Yellow Pages, is also on-line, where it's known as Yell (www.yell.co.uk).
l Use quote marks to make search engines look for phrases, such as "Ford Focus". While some will automatically treat the keywords "ford" and "focus" as a phrase, others will waste time serving up endless references to cameras and Indiana Jones.
l Although search engines are being souped up all the time, even the most powerful of them only register a small proportion of sites on the Web. If you're having difficulty locating an obscure product, you could try using a meta search engine, such as Ask Jeeves (www.askjeeves.com). These activate searches on a number of other engines at once, combining the results on their own pages. Recent versions of Apple's Macintosh operating system incorporate a facility for hailing several search engines at once, called Sherlock.
l Some people enjoy visiting overseas sites to find items that are cheaper abroad, such as CDs. However, once delivery costs are added in (and customs duty, for expensive items) the savings may disappear. It's also far more trouble to deal with the supplier in the event of any problems. If you want to restrict your searches to local suppliers, the easiest option is to use a search engine or directory with a UK front page, which offers the option of restricting searches to British sites. Yahoo!, LookSmart, Yell and Lycos all offer this facility; all have `.co.uk' addresses.
l Many people are still uneasy about sending their credit card details into the strange new medium of the Internet. But most of us are prepared to hand our cards to underpaid waiters and to read the details out to total strangers over the phone. The risks of using credit cards on-line are probably far lower than those of shopping in the real world. Security systems are now highly developed: banking via the Internet is becoming commonplace, and it has become standard practice for on-line traders to publish information about their security procedures. Look for these pages, and for logos indicating adherence to security standards.

SEO and SMM Alert- 10/26/12 Edition
Posted by Lindsay Dicks
I shop. I do. I have always loved fashion and clothes and it's something that Eric definitely had to get used to!
But have you ever really watch an email marketing campaign from a clothing store?
9 times out of 10 they are simply brilliant:
Want to see how to get your email list to like your Facebook fan page? Watch some of the larger stores out there and their email marketing campaigns.
Here's what I know about an email marketer… the person actually creating the email. They are VERY smart and VERY quick witted… They are writers, not designers. How do I know this? Because a very good friend of mine used to be behind the baby ads and just got recruited for hotels. She was taught to design, not taught to write.
Dan Kennedy used to say that if you never want to be hungry, learn to write and it's very true. The money is always in your list, if you know them and can give them what they want through the power of your words you'll never go hungry.
Enjoy this week's alert!

I love working with you guys. FB, blogs, articles, Google +, new website etc… You don't mess around! - Jeff Rebarcak / Speaker, Author, Mentor, Doctor
Just wanted to take a minute to thank Celebrity Sites. Making that first impression of what our business is about is very important. Celebrity Sites has done more in just a couple of months than we did in the last 6 years which was nothing because we tried different things but were just were not on track. You knew where to start and how to get there in lighting speed. You guys not only listened to our ideas but gave some great ideas. Whenever we needed to talk to you, you were right there, by email or phone – you name it, you responded. We are so excited every day to see Larry's Big Idea take shape. The website is second to none thanks to Lindsay and is improving weekly. The ideas that Jack and Nick come up with at each meeting are awesome. If anyone out there is considering launching their business to just the next level forget it. Get in the elevator with Celebrity Sites and they will take you to the top floor (Penthouse). Stay tuned for more! Kimberlee Frank
Thanks Celebrity Sites®! With your help we just got picked up on a worldwide site for our music buffet option. They even put it on the front page of their site as a "breakthrough"! Our site, art and design looks fantastic. Well done! We couldn't do it without you!" - Yeosh and Jon Push Button Productions
Want to hear Ka-ching again? Well, if your website's dead, not making money and you don't how to fix it – good news, there's an answer. Call Lindsay Dicks and her staff at CelebritySites! They simply know the 'stuff' you and I don't – important 'stuff' that actually works, creating a website that gets the phone to ring… and online sales to grow! So, humble yourself, just a little, like we did, and let these guys replace or revitalize your old billboard type website with a dynamic marketing platform one that's designed to 'pull' in sales in a completely different way. It's more than a website – it's a complete, pedal to the metal, marketing strategy! And, it's more than worth the little 'shot' to the ego. One last thing…forget generalities – check this out! Our site was basically 'dead in the water' until Lindsay and her gang turned it into an interest grabbing, marketing platform. NOW, we enjoy 1st page ranking on, not one, but THREE of our main keywords. Our website went from an online brochure to a virtual "living, breathing, marketing machine!" Yeah, we like the folks at CelebritySites.com a lot. YOU will too! - Daniel J. Liebrecht Clean Guru LLC
In the 14 years I've owned businesses, I've worked with several IT and web designers. Never has the process been as easy and seamless as it has with CelebritySites. Not once have I entered into a new technology relationship without the fear similar to that of when an entrepenuer makes the dreaded decision to change their phone company; that panic that lives deep down inside that can only grow from past experience. I'm ecstatic to say, we have already moved far beyond any other company I've worked with at this stage of the game. My only regret, I didn't make this commitment sooner; saving myself a lot of time, stress, and lets be honest- money! Thank you Lindsay for all your support, your passion, and your investment in me. -Kessea Moses AKA: Master Bobby Splinter's Mutant Ninja Turtle
