Foggy Oregon Coast
Taking from my beach theme last week, I thought I would post this foggy beach scene. When we went to the coast two weeks ago, half of our trip was beautiful weather. The other half was stormy - windy & foggy. I am glad we got to experience both ends of the spectrum. This is a shot looking across towards a distant jetty, and you can barely see it peeking thru the thick fog cover.

Alright, how's this for a question? In the event of a RSE Remake, what would you like to see changed from the original 3?
I personally, would prefer that they don't turn the POKeNAV into phone like in Emerald, I liked the original NAV from RS.
View original post
I actually want them to keep all of the electronic accessories integrated into a single device–i.e.: a new version of the PokéGear–like they did for everything except the PokéDex and the Vs. Recorder in G/S/C/HG/SS

Need help with color choices for family room
nancyluMarch 5, 2009
I have a family room with old furniture and white walls. It doesn't get much direct sunlight as I have a covered deck behind the room. I have painted the hallway a neutral beige color. I would like to flow nicely into the living room but want to make sure it's not too dark and looks good with light oak trim. Any suggestions for color would be greatly appreciated. I've considered a steel blue, very light green, and cream/beige. The carpet is also beige.

Watch PAL's New Video; Your Pet could Star in the Next One
Remember a few weeks ago when I posted a great video from the Pets Add Life Campaign (PAL) that encourages pet owners to adopt multiple pets of all types, because like us, pets need friends too? Well, today I'm happy to share PAL's newest video, featuring two hilarious 'cat consultants' - Jupiter and Kona. Check it out below!
In the video, PAL hires Jupiter and Kona to help devise a plan to encourage owners to adopt more than just one pet. Their idea is just brilliant, because it gives your pets the opportunity to be the new star of PAL's next Talking Animals video! So, here's your chance to make your pet a star! Whip out your camera and capture your pet "talking" on film for a shot at starring in PAL's next video. Submit here!
I hope to see YOUR pet pal in the next video, and I encourage you to share Jupiter and Kona's contest as well! Be sure to also follow PAL on twitter and Facebook for more hilarious videos, updates and news.

It's the busiest online shopping day of the year and the biggest online retailer is celebrating with a very rare offering – its own bonds.
Amazon.com (AMZN) today made its first foray into the corporate debt market since 1998, back when it was a junk-rated issuer. Today's $3 billion bond sale comes with investment-grade ratings at a time when borrowing rates are at record lows. Patrick McGee reports in the Wall Street Journal:
The three-, five- and 10-year bonds are to be sold at 0.38, 0.63, and 0.93 percentage point, respectively, over comparable Treasury rates, according to a term sheet. Earlier terms suggested the bond yields would be 0.12 point higher for each maturity.
Amazon is taking advantage of low borrowing rates for general purposes including the purchase of its corporate headquarters, for $1.16 billion, according to Moody's Investors Service….
Investors said Monday's deal would be well-received given Amazon's household-name status, plus its strong balance sheet and cash flow. Investors also often aim to diversify their portfolios, and Amazon has no other bonds outstanding.
Barrons.com's Income Investing blog helps readers find undervalued securities that offer attractive yields, with an emphasis on dividend-paying stocks, preferred shares, bonds, REITs, Master Limited Partnerships and closed-end funds.

More items for
Coating Materials
Integrated Green Technologies LLC (IGT) has announced the roll-out of DuraSpeed powder coating for boat propellers, drive shafts and other marine applications, following successful field trials of the product.
The trials were conducted under the control of the Volvo Penta (inboard performance system) warrantee facility in Fort Myers, FL. The coating was applied using the patented IGT #100-B electrostatic thermal spray powder gun system, which allows for the powder coating of parts without the need for a bake oven, the manufacturer reports.
Green Coating
IGT says its foul-release coating contains no environmentally harmful components. The product is designed to hinder the growth of marine life on the parts' surface while providing a smooth finish that minimizes resistance with the water.
IGT estimates service life at "several years," following completion of the company's four-year test. Other tests showed that parts coated with DuraSpeed required no underwater cleaning within six weeks, the manufacturer said.
"We are most excited [to be] introducing DuraSpeed to our line of marine products," said Joe Moretti, CEO of IGT. "Moreover, the marine industry will welcome the product, as it will solve many long- and short-term issues."
Fort Lauderdale, FL-based IGT, a division of Organa Gardens International Inc., manufactures industrial tools, machinery and equipment, as well as consumable supplies & materials. IGT is also a distributor of heavy-duty blasting equipment and environmentally safe mobile powder coating systems.

Happy Holidays – Christmas As We Grow Older
What Christmas is as We Grow Older, Charles Dickens
|Nearer and closer to our hearts be the Christmas spirit, which is the spirit of active usefulness, perseverance, cheerful discharge of duty, kindness and forbearance! It is in the last virtues especially, that we are, or should be, strengthened by the unaccomplished visions of our youth; for, who shall say that they are not our teachers to deal gently even with the impalpable nothings of the earth!
Therefore, as we grow older, let us be more thankful that the circle of our Christmas associations and of the lessons that they bring, expands! Let us welcome every one of them, and summon them to take their places by the Christmas hearth.
Welcome, old aspirations, glittering creatures of an ardent fancy, to your shelter underneath the holly! We know you, and have not outlived you yet. Welcome, old projects and old loves, however fleeting, to your nooks among the steadier lights that burn around us. Welcome, all that was ever real to our hearts; and for the earnestness that made you real, thanks to Heaven! Do we build no Christmas castles in the clouds now? Let our thoughts, fluttering like butterflies among these flowers of children, bear witness! Before this boy, there stretches out a Future, brighter than we ever looked on in our old romantic time, but bright with honour and with truth. Around this little head on which the sunny curls lie heaped, the graces sport, as prettily, as airily, as when there was no scythe within the reach of Time to shear away the curls of our first-love. Upon another girl's face near it–placider but smiling bright–a quiet and contented little face, we see Home fairly written. Shining from the word, as rays shine from a star, we see how, when our graves are old, other hopes than ours are young, other hearts than ours are moved; how other ways are smoothed; how other happiness blooms, ripens, and decays–no, not decays, for other homes and other bands of children, not yet in being nor for ages yet to be, arise, and bloom and ripen to the end of all!
Welcome, everything! Welcome, alike what has been, and what never was, and what we hope may be, to your shelter underneath the holly, to your places round the Christmas fire, where what is sits open- hearted! In yonder shadow, do we see obtruding furtively upon the blaze, an enemy's face? By Christmas Day we do forgive him! If the injury he has done us may admit of such companionship, let him come here and take his place. If otherwise, unhappily, let him go hence, assured that we will never injure nor accuse him.
On this day we shut out Nothing!
— What Christmas is as We Grow Older, Charles Dickens
|There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say, Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, — apart from the veneration due to its sacred origin, if anything belonging to it call be apart from that, — as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-travellers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it! — Ebenezer Scrooge's Nephew, A Christmas Carol
|Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!" — Charles Dickens
Run and Tell That – In Memory of Robinswing
We are heartbroken to inform you that Robinswing, the Editor and Writer of the renowned and powerful Sistahspeak series, passed away yesterday. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
To many of us, Robinswing was a powerful and inspirational voice for social justice, a good friend, a teacher, and an unabashed pure heart. Robinswing, a warrior for peace, justice, and kindness, graced us with some of her prophetic pieces here.
Tonight we pay tribute to Robinswing by re-posting a link to some of her resonant — and more relevant than ever — articles. Below is one of Robinswing's most powerful and moving pieces. Her eternal light will continue to shine on and inspire us. May she Rest in Eternal Power.
Robinswing, thank you for sharing your gift and your powerful presence with us. We will miss you more than words can express.

National Wildlife Refuge Week #seerefuges
Dear Esteemed CMP Readers and Treehuggers:
I am excited to finally announce the launch of my Nature & Wildlife Photography website: http://www.spersaud.com. My hope is to inspire reverence for our natural heritage and, in so doing, raise consciousness about the necessity of environmental/wilderness conservation.
This week is also National Wildlife Refuge Week:
National wildlife refuges play a critical role in conserving America's wildlife legacy. They also play an important role in human communities; by providing healthy habitats for wildlife, refuges improve the air we breathe, the water we drink, and improve soil quality and give protection against flooding in flood-prone areas. Local economies also rely on refuges. Refuge return an average of almost $5 for every $1 appropriated. They offer wonderful opportunities to hunt, fish, hike, and share the outdoors with friends and family. [National Wildlife Refuge Association]
October is a great time to take the kids (little and grown) out to visit a refuge near you. Find a refuge http://1.usa.gov/1odKdvm or an event by you http://1.usa.gov/1bwexLv.
Thanks for visiting. Feedback is ALWAYS welcome!

Do you have a favorite type of cucumber?
I've never been too big of a fan of cucumber- I like it in couscous salads, but leave it out of garden salads. Sometimes I'll eat it with a little tabasco, salt, and lemon juice- but that usually means I'm just trying to get rid of it. I've always heard that English cucumbers were the best- that they had smaller seeds, were less bitter, the peels are edible. DH brought home a short fat cucumber the other day and I was so not looking forward to dealing with it. But man, was it tasty! Even my kids loved it, and they haven't liked cucumber until now. So, I'm confused. I did a quick google search and people are still rehashing the same old cucumber logic. Was this just an exceptionally good cucumber or is the English cucumber overrated after all. (It was from the grocery store- not organic.) What's your opinion?
Any cucumber that has lacked for water will be bitter....and one that has been allowed to get too big will have large seeds.....which you scrape out.
I love cucumbers...
English cukes are good....so are the pickeling kind.
Before I cut up a cuke into a salad, I always taste a slice....and if it's bitter I toss it.
Not sure where you're located but stumbled across a possible explanation of your good cuke reading this week's Drought Monitor.
See the very last headline on the page...
Here is a link that might be useful: Cucumbers Sweeter Than Normal in Drought
Hmmm, when I checked the link the headliner I wanted to shoe you didn't appear? So...
Here's what it says,
"�Monday, �July �23, �2012, ��1:06:58 PM
A chef in Chicago noticed that cantaloupes and cucumbers grown in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin were surprisingly sweet. Peppers grown during drought are hotter than they would be otherwise as more capsaicin is produced, giving the pepper more heat. Anderson Independent-Mail (S.C.), July 20, 2012"
I personally don't like english cucumbers at all. Most of Pickling type are much sweeter and just have more taste in my opinion, especially when they are young. So it all depends on your personal preferences. I only grow pickling type now. I can eat them like fruits with just a little salt. Yum
You know, Jessy, when I first saw this thread I was thinking, "If this were a few years ago I'd be hitting refresh just to see what EJ says!" LOL
Funny thing with cukes, I guess I'm in the minority that I actually like the seeds and gunk around them. I'm always disappointed when I get a tossed salad and the seeds are scooped out. I'll gravitate towards English or Persian cucumbers when making cucumber salad though, to avoid the excess moisture. I'll have to pay closer attention to the taste of different varieties. I've not noted much difference, I guess I just like cukes.
I haven't seen them locally, but I was at Trader Joes and bought some Persian cucumbers. Very crisp and sweet, not at all burpy.
And, for those of you like a previous poster (who shall go unnamed) whose mind might be in the gutter, you can google '62 reasons why cucumbers are better than men' (Caution: it's naughty, not safe for work)

It pays to stop stalking the plumeria!
You know how you just can't stop looking for an inflo? Day after day... out at night with the flashlight? Well, just stop stalking them and maybe something will happen! :)
I just found a few inflos. Lillian Chinn, Rhonda and Kimo. The Rhonda inflo was too small to get a pic but here's some really bad ones. I'm just too lazy to pull out the good camera.
Lillian Chinn
And just for giggles, here's my white marathon bloomer that has been blooming since the beginning of time. :)
It's blooming on all 3 tips, if you can tell from the bad photo. And it's almost as tall as my greenhouse. I don't know what I'm going to do with this thing other than take cuttings, but I'm not sure I can bare to do it.. If I do, I will give a cutting to Lablover. She would love the non-stop blooms.
What I find so interesting about these plain white flowers, is they are not so plain! Sometimes they are pink, looking very much like Slaughter Pink, and other times the petals are long and spidery, like this pic.
Oh, I think there may be a false inflo on Duke. :(
I may have labeled the pics backwards. Tomorrow, if the sun is shining, I will get the -real- camera out and retake some photos.
And I forgot to mention that my Aztec Gold that has bloomed for the second time this year dropped a flower today that was 5 inches if not more. This, so far, is the biggest of her blooms. And the deepest of colors. This AG was one that I kept awake over winter. I know y'all will demand a pic for proof. :)
No, I never did that! It sounds like fun, so I missed out. What happened when you did it with the daffodils? What was it like? It sounds like something I would do, so I'm curious!
I gotta tell you, one of my best plumeria is a plain white - well, with trace amounts of pink and yellow. Somebody called it a "common white" and frankly, I was a little hurt. This tree pops inflos before any other, smells great, looks beautiful and blooms longest. What's so common about that? It's a champ.
I've wanted to get Lilian Chinn for a while, it's a wonderful plumeria. I'm very proud of my Kimo I got late last year, though. Only about three and a half feet, but with four inflos - straight across the branches from one end to the other. All blooming. Great flower, too.
And flashlight, microscope, webcam, I've done it all looking for inflos. Just found a new one yesterday! What a high that is.
Aztec Gold to me smells like peaches and butter. A 5" would knock me out. Good way to go, though!
Your marathon bloomer is awesome.
The daffodil will draw up the colored water and the edges of the flower will turn what ever color you used. It was always so fun. It probably still would be. :)
I'm glad you also smell the buttery scent along with peach on AG. My sister said it sounded like a weird combo so I told her to imagine peach pie filling. She still didn't get the buttery part. Oh well. She's not an addic... umm, enthusiast.
I understand all too well about the whites not being given their due. This one I call my marathon bloomer because it just keeps going, but I bet if I gave it a really cool name people may stand up and take notice. :)
As far as Lillian Chinn, I love the petal shapes. Very much like Bonnie Fox and sometimes Mardi Gras will have that same shape. I have not been able to find a photo of LC so if you run across one, please post a link.
BTW, I enjoyed you webcam of... was it Bill M?
Thanks, Moonie. It was Bill M. It got a little cooler over here so I got to the see colors change. Big inflo, I've really enjoyed this one.
I'll keep my eyes open for a Liilian C. pic.
I'll tell you something funny about how plumies have changed my life in small ways. The other day I was in the kitchen, and I turned and smelled a strong fresh peach scent - and immediately thought - "Oh, I must have left a California Sunset bloom on the counter!" Of course, it turned it was actually - a peach. Didn't think of that! How things turn.
Call your white "White Kapalua" and sell cuttings on eBay for $599! It could work. Or say it's a Kukiat cousin, you found at the field next door to Kukiat's. Or wait - Dane is $300 plus - call it White Great Dane and make it just $299 and appeal to both dog and plumeria lovers! Marketing is important! You are right though, our whites have great qualities and don't get the attention they deserve. I think I'll refer to mine as "The Possible Official Plumeria of Elon Musk's Hyperloop". That should give it some prestige! I await feedback from the scientific community!
Geez, I wished I had not read this right before I have to walk out the door. The idea of the hyperloop excites me! I'm looking forward to it running across country, and maybe at even faster speeds! I would never miss JJ's Open House or the SCPA Sales.
Put me first on the list for an EMH.
Looove White Great Dane!

Honey Bees are Amazing!
March 12, 2015 By Donni 7 Comments
We had a wonderful time watching honey bees collecting pollen from the prettiest of flowers on our hike on Sunday.
They worked tirelessly until their leg sacks were full to bursting and they could hardly fly.
Then we followed them, hoping to find their hive. Over bushes, under trees, around a stream. It was a treasure hunt indeed.
And then, eventually, we spotted them going into a hole in a tree trunk… hundreds of them, the trunk humming with their song.
It couldn't have been more perfect!
When we got home, we looked up bees on the computer and learned so many interesting things about them.
Gosh… they sure are important!
Kitty and Teddy agreed that these things stood out the most :
Bees fly up to 6 miles to collect pollen on each trip. We estimated that that is about 3 times what we had just hiked. Wow… the kids agreed that this is far!
They visit about 1500 flowers a day!
1 out of ever 4 bites you eat comes from something that needed bees to pollinate it.
All the worker bees you see collecting pollen are female.
1 out of every 3 honey bee colonies has died in the last 3 years. This is bad! The reasons for the dying bees are the increased use of pesticides (which we decided to never use, ever, even though we already don't) and the fact that many of the plants we buy in the garden shops have been modified to produce less pollen and nectar… making life so much more difficult for the bees.
This loss of bees shocked us and made us decide to plant many bee-friendly plants in our garden this spring and be mindful of thanking bees when we see them.
Here are bee-friendly plants.
Let's all do our part to help bees thrive once more.
Blessings and magic,

Tutorial : Needle Felted Spring Nest
March 10, 2015 By Donni Leave a Comment
Spring has burst forth in full regalia here in Southern California. the trees are so pretty in their pinks and whites and magentas. And the birds have started to busy themselves building nests.
Spring is full of crafting inspiration and we have been making pretty needle felted spring nests too.
One of the things I love most about needle felting is that it can be a wonderfully quick and easy craft. You can sit down with a basket of wool and be holding a delightful spring nest in your hands in just a few minutes.
Needle felting requires three tools :
- wool roving
- a felting needle
- a protective foam board.
Wool roving looks a bit like cotton candy. When the sheep is sheered, the fleece is washed and dried and then it is 'carded' – brushed so that all the knots and clumps are brushed out and the fibers of the wool all run the same way. It is then dyed… any wonderful color under the sun. This roving can then be spun into yarn (for knitting) or it can be felted with a needle.
The protective foam board is not always necessary but it is definitely recommended when you are learning to needle felt. The needle is very sharp and if you don't have a board upon which to steady your work, you will find yourself painfully stabbed more than once.
The felting needle is about 3 inches long. It is very sharp. The tip of the needle has a number of small barbs and it is these barbs that felt the wool. You can see the barbs if you look closely at the tip of your needle. The outer surface of each fiber of wool has tiny, microscopic scales on it. When the fiber is agitated, the scales hook into one another, forming a tighter and tighter mass. The barbs of the needle 'grab' the fibers as you stab it into the wool, depositing the fibers deeper. The little scales on the fibers lock together, ensuring that the fibers stay in their new place. By stabbing the wool hundreds of times you can shape the wool into any form you wish.
DIY Needle Felted Spring Nest
You will need :
- green and blue wool felt (found online or at a craft store)
- a needle felting needle (found online or at a craft store)
- a foam 4cm ball (found at a craft store)
Step 1
Pull the green wool into a strip about the length of your hand, palm to fingertips, with a width the same as the tip of your thumb. Roll this strip of wool evenly around the bottom half of the foam ball.
Step 2
Carefully stab the needle around the outside of the nest, poking the needle through the wool and into the foam. It is important to stab the needle in and out of the wool at the same angle. Changing the angle as you pull the needle out of the wool will increase your chance of breaking the needle as you work.
Step 3
Evenly needle felt the inside of the nest.
Step 4
Remove the foam ball from the nest by pulling it free. The nest will hold it's shape but it will be very fuzzy. Using the protective foam pad, needle felt the nest, on the inside and the outside. The more you needle felt the nest, the less fuzzy it will become.
Step 5
Pull the blue wool roving into a strip about the length and thickness of your index finger. Knot it in the center as you would a length of string. Fluff out one end of the knot, smooth it down over the knot and needle felt it evenly, rounding the end of the knot into a ball. Do the same with the other end of the knot to form a needle felted ball.
Make three Needle felted eggs to put into the your nest.
NOTE : For those of you who want to decorate your home for spring with your own needle felted nests, I have put together a DIY kit to make three spring nests in shades of green, available for purchase for $26 in The Magic Onions Shop : DIY Needle Felted Spring Nest Kit.
My children and I picked a few spring branches to put in a vase (here's a tutorial for making our rainbow yarn vase). We carefully placed our needle felted nests in the twigs and added some feather butterflies for whimsy.
Beauty is all around us and inside us, all of the time.
Blessings and magic,

Spring Blossoms
March 9, 2015 By Donni 2 Comments
Spring blossoms abound. The trees are so pretty… they are pink and white and magenta.
It's amazing how quickly they spring forth. It seems that one day a tree is bare and the next it is dressed all in pink.
Spring makes the world a happy place
You see a smile on every face.
Flowers come out and birds arrive,
Oh, isn't it grand to be alive?
Has Spring come to your neck of the woods yet?

A Surprise Visit!
March 3, 2015 By Donni 2 Comments
We have had a wonderful surprise at The Sunny House… an unexpected visit from our Granny and Grampa.
It's so lovely to share our lives with them and take them around to all our special places.
We laugh and play and talk… talk endlessly. There is ever so much to catch up on.
And, of course, we've taken them to our best hiking spot. We threw rocks, climbed trees and found all sorts of treasures. It rained, a special treat here in Southern California, washing the countryside clean.
We discovered beautiful wildflowers, sipped leaf rain tea and even found some miners lettuce to nibble on.
Beauty is all around us, all of the time.
Blessings and magic,

Another squirrel question
In the past few years, my parents have had issues with squirrels.
First they chewed away at the shingles, so a new roof was put on. Then they pushed back the soffit, and started nesting in there. Roofers came back 3 times to replace the same piece.
The problem now is that since they can no longer get under the soffit, they have built an enormous nest in a tree by the front porch. This nest has the main electrical line that comes into the house running right through the middle. How does one go about removing it?
They have called a few places, but they seem to always get referred somewhere else because of the power line.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!! :)
To rid their house permanently, they must trap the rodents (for that is indeed what they are) and seal off the areas with hardware cloth. Squirrels will chew through *anything*. Trouble is, once they get in somewhere, their scent lingers so it becomes a magnet for other squirrels -- you get the idea.
Definitely call the power company to get advice, but they need professionals quickly.
Having been infested with them in the attic of my apartment building, I know the misery these creatures can put you through. I HATE them!
Here is a link that might be useful: United Exterminating Company
Here are some good web sites about squirrels and the damage they do:
In some cities in Canada, there is a company called "Wildlife Control Inc." which specializes in squirrels & raccoons. They are in the yellow pages under "exterminators" if they exist in your area. I used them when I had a squirrel problem, and they did a good job.
Hardware cloth is heavy gauge wire mesh that squirrels cannot chew through. Usually a one-way gate is installed over the entry hole so that the squirrels currently inside can get out (dead, rotting squirrels in the attic is a bad thing). After a few weeks, the hole is covered with hardware cloth, and later you should have a professional roofer repair the hole permanently.
If you have a squirrel infestation, your MUST get rid of them, since they can chew through electrical wires and cause fires, as well as damaging or supporting wooden beams, removing insulation, making holes big enough for rats to get in, etc.

Increased production of passenger jets helped push up Boeing's profit by 52 percent in the second quarter, topping Wall Street's expectations.
The Chicago-based company said net income increased to $1.65 billion, or $2.24 per share, from $1.09 billion, or $1.41 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Earnings, adjusted for non-recurring costs, came to $2.42 per share. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for earnings of $2.02 per share.
Boeing Co. (BA) said Wednesday that revenue climbed 1.1 percent to $22.05 billion from $21.82 billion in the same quarter a year ago. Analysts expected $22.32 billion, according to Zacks.
Revenue at Boeing's Commercial Airplanes division increased 5 percent to $14.3 billion on higher deliveries — 181 new jets, compared to 169 during the same period last year.
Those gains were partially offset by a 5 percent drop in the company's defense, space and security division's revenues to $7.7 billion. The largest problem for that division was fewer deliveries of its C-17 and P-8 military planes, and a pre-tax charge related to its KC-46A tanker program.

What exactly can be written about "The Book of Eli" without giving away critical parts of the story is a source of personal frustration. Releasing studio Warner Brothers has politely asked film critics to refrain from spoiling the ending of the movie, a request I will happily honor. However, there's much to "Book of Eli" that requires potential killjoy description, so I beg your patience, dear reader. I apologize in advance if this review seems uncharacteristically vague and protective of the actual filmgoing experience. I'm under orders and frankly, the mysteries here are interesting enough to preserve.
30 years after "the flash," the world has been stripped of its natural glory. Walking through the ashen, UV-drenched aftermath is Eli (Denzel Washington), a loner in possession of book he's compelled to bring to the West. Dispatching troublemakers along the way, Eli makes a supply stop at a town of questionable habitation, run by Carnegie (Gary Oldman), a literate leader who rules the few remaining natural resources left to plunder. Looking for the very book in Eli's possession, Carnegie hunts the warrior through the wasteland with his henchmen (including Ray Stevenson), while Eli picks up a partner in the form of a young woman named Solara (Mila Kunis), who's desperate to know the contents of the book and learn the ways of self-preservation that have kept Eli alive through horrible circumstances.
"The Book of Eli" marks the return to the directorial chair for Allen and Albert Hughes, the former wunderkinds who last haunted theaters with their 2001 Jack the Ripper stinker, "From Hell." From the opening titles, it's clear that the Hughes Brothers have matured since their camera-trick heavy years with "Menace II Society" and "Dead Presidents," putting forth a more meditative effort with "Book of Eli," which deals with spirituality and cold-blooded survival in a bleak post-apocalyptic world of raw desperation.
Though it cribs wholeheartedly from previous end-of-the-world cinematic observations (think of the film as a cross between "The Road," "The Postman," and "A Boy and His Dog"), the Hughes Brothers craft a compellingly abrasive tone of moral manipulation to embellish the traditional maneuvers of violence, as Eli defends his secret tomb from would-be thieves and crusty scoundrels. Crossing the land armed with a machete, taking solace in the occasional KFC wet-nap bath and the infrequent charge of his shattered MP3 player (along with developing a taste for cat meat), Eli isn't so much a wandering recluse as he is a man on a mission, facing a world of marauders and cannibals (a taste spotted by a quaking of the hands) who stand in his path toward unspecified salvation. "Book of Eli" finds an appropriate downbeat tone of decimated humanity, framed and monochromatically color-timed in the manner of a graphic novel to ease the audience into what will eventually reveal itself to be a stream of ambiguity that takes the entire 120 minute running time to properly lay out for inspection.
The book in question is representative of both unfettered evil and reassuring containment, and screenwriter Gary Whitta works in a superior amount of anxiety on both sides of the coin, showing Eli's dogged determination and hinting at Carnegie's sinister plans of mind-control. It's a clever script that turns faith into a game of sorts, with only one possible pawn at play, but it's a time-tested doozy of an upper hand once under complete control. The Hughes Brothers tart up the thematic lunge with a fitting display of bloodshed and shoot-outs, though they unfortunately lose their nerve and indulge in a cringe-worthy attack sequence of swirling camerawork and editing magic — a rotten remnant of their mid-90's film-brat bravado that stands out like a sore thumb in a picture of such solemnity.
Where "Book of Eli" ends up is a place of probable controversy and purposeful misdirection, sure to divide audiences sensitive to such matters of soulful purpose. I'm not certain the shell-game resolution is worth the journey, but the picture is satisfactorily atmospheric and often challenging, perhaps even unintentionally chilling in its closing statement of devotion.
Blu-Ray Details and Extras
A bass-thumping DTS 5.1 soundtrack is accompanied by a glistening 1080p presentation. Extras-wise, there's quite a few goodies, including : several featurettes; deleted scenes; a "Survival Guide Mode" (PIP Movie), which is fun; and an animated original short comic.
Good release.
