Sid Luft
Film producer third husband of Judy Garland who revived her career
Monday 19 September 2005
Michael Sidney Luft, film producer: born New York 2 November, 1915; married 1943 Lynn Bari (died 1989; one son; marriage dissolved 1950), 1952 Judy Garland (died 1969; one son, one daughter, one stepdaughter; marriage dissolved 1965), 1970 Patti Hemingway (marriage dissolved), 1993 Camille Keaton; died Santa Monica, California 15 September 2005.
The producer Sid Luft was Judy Garland's third husband, and is credited with reviving her flagging career in the early Fifties by encouraging her concert performances and producing the film A Star is Born. He met Garland at a crucial point of her life. The star of such classic films as The Wizard of Oz, Meet Me in St Louis, The Pirate and Easter Parade had just made her final MGM musical, Summer Stock, and had been in the headlines through being sacked from the film version of Annie Get Your Gun and for a heavily publicised suicide attempt.
When Luft began to court her, reactions from those who knew him were mixed. The writer Fred Finklehoffe, who had been having an affair with Garland, referred to Luft as "a dirty, low-down S.O.B.", but the director Vincente Minnelli, to whom Garland was still married, said that Luft "has seemingly discovered the secret to keeping Judy sane and healthy".
Michael Sidney Luft was born to a middle-class Jewish family in New Rochelle, in the Bronxville section of New York, in 1915, and is reputed to have been a pugnacious youth who enrolled at the Charles Atlas correspondence school for body-building and had some success as an amateur boxer. At the age of 19 he worked in Ottawa on the production staff of an aquacade, which gave him a taste for show business, and after a spell in the Royal Canadian Air Force he went to Los Angeles, where an old friend from his youth, Eleanor Powell, had become the screen's top female dancing star. Powell and the tall, handsome Luft allegedly became lovers, and he also served as her personal manager.
He then worked as a test pilot for the aircraft firm Douglas, which prompted 20th Century-Fox to hire him as consultant on a film they were making, Charter Pilot (1940), starring Lloyd Nolan and Lynn Bari. The film was a "B" movie, typical of the product that Bari had been starring in. A contract player at the studio since the mid-Thirties, she had failed to reach the heights of stardom, but had become a reliable star of minor films and a supporting player (usually as "the other woman") in major ones. Luft married Bari in 1943, and they had a son, John.
After Bari's contract at Fox concluded with the thankless role of a school librarian in the Jeanne Crain vehicle Margie (1946), he advised her not to renew her contract but to freelance, and let him manage her career. Her first film under this arrangement was a good, if minor, film noir, Nocturne (1946), with George Raft, but after that her career flagged.
Luft then fulfilled an ambition to be a film producer with the movie Kilroy Was Here (1947). It was a low-grade one made for the "poverty row" studio Monogram, starring former the child stars Jackie Cooper (as the Kilroy of the slogan) and Jackie Coogan, but it proved popular enough for Luft to produce a sequel with the same stars entitled French Leave (1948).
When he met Garland, both of them were in the process of divorcing their partners, and Luft had gained a reputation as a ladies' man and heavy drinker, with a predilection for bar-room brawls and a passion for racetrack gambling. "I grew up in a rough New York neighbourhood," he said,
and didn't put up with shit from anyone. I'm a survivor, with the scars to show for it, and I think that appealed to Judy. She needed someone to lean on who wouldn't crack.
When MGM finally ended their association with Garland in September 1950, Luft was one of those who persuaded her to accept an invitation to appear at the London Palladium, a venue which had established a reputation for showcasing Hollywood's finest entertainers. The triumphant engagement in 1951 led to Garland's record-breaking appearance in New York, bringing back vaudeville to the Palace Theatre after 10 years. (During rehearsals, Garland had discovered that she was pregnant with Luft's child, but he persuaded her to have an abortion.)
Bing Crosby, on whose radio show Garland had often appeared, wanted her to co-star with him in the musical Just for You, but Luft dissuaded her, pointing out that the role was subsidiary to Crosby's (Jane Wyman ultimately played the part). Garland was later to say of this period,
Sid kept telling me that my career wasn't over, that it had just begun. He was so right. He took me through the dark times, and I'll never forget that.
In June 1952, after Garland found she was pregnant again, she and Luft were married. "She had a very sensuous body," recalled Luft in 2001. "Up close, her skin was like porcelain, pure white. I was crazy about her." Their daughter, Lorna, was born in November 1952, and their son Joey in 1955.
In 1953 production started on Garland's "comeback" movie, A Star is Born, made by Warners in association with Transcona, a production company formed by Luft. It was a musical remake of the 1937 film about a small-town girl who becomes a great movie star while her actor husband's career fades. Neither the director George Cukor nor the studio head Jack Warner felt kindly towards Luft, Warner later writing in his autobiography,
He's one of the original guys who promised his parents he'd never work a day in his life - and made good.
Lauren Bacall, a friend of Garland and her husband, later defended Luft:
Sid was a wheeler-dealer, but not a bad guy. He and Judy were crazy about each other...He gave her a semblance of family life. And he always took care of his children - he was devoted to them . . . Judy had a hard time dealing with life - she needed constant reassurance. Whatever quirks Sid may have had, he was the one who helped her get through.
A Star is Born won critical praise and six Oscar nominations, including ones for stars Garland and James Mason, but it was a box-office disappointment and failed to re-ignite Garland's film career. Film footage of the movie's premiere shows Garland's obvious devotion to her husband, but the marriage was to become increasingly stormy - both heavy drinkers, they were involved in some publicised rows, both with each other and with others. They separated and reconciled several times before they were divorced in 1965, Garland claiming that he struck her, drank excessively and used profane language in front of the children. Luft married twice more, as did Garland, who died in 1969.
In 1993 Luft tried to auction the Academy Award that Garland had received in 1939 as best juvenile actress in The Wizard of Oz, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sued him, claiming they had the right to buy the Oscar back for $10, and they won.
Recently, Luft became estranged from his daughter, Lorna, claiming that her 1998 autobiography Me and My Shadows: a family memoir, which was made into a television movie (Life with Judy Garland: me and my shadows, 2001), contained "so many lies" and erroneously charged him with mismanaging her money.
Luft is survived by his fourth wife, Camille Keaton (great-niece of Buster Keaton and star of I Spit on Your Grave, 1978), his three children and his stepdaughter Liza Minnelli.

How can we get the puppy to stop eating poop?
He eats the cat poop and pig poop out in the yard. Gross!
The reason they eat the poop is that there is undigested food in there...So, do you leash walk your dog, or does it basically hang out in the yard all day? Do you have a schedule with your dog or no?
First suggestion leash walk your dog outside the yard 3 times a day 15 minutes walks at the very least. Next figure out which your dog hates more, toothpaste or tobasco sauce. Go get a small tube of tooth paste and a small jar of tobasco sauce. You must catch your dog in the act, dose your pup minutes or hours after he eats the offending material will do you no good. Tell him NO, Leave it, and dab a very smal amount of toothpaste or tobasco sauce on his tongue. Took my dog three times and he has not picked up anything since.
Most important, go out every day three times a day and pick up after your animals, not only will your dog stop eating the poop but your yard will smell better and your animals will be healtheir as a result. Good luck
A friend of mine had two dogs. The little one would wait for the big one to poop and yum, still warm, so gross, never let him give me kisses anymore. She read somewhere that feeding your dogs canned pumpkin (not pie filling) makes the poop taste nasty. It worked for a while, but she didn't keep it up.
The good ole' penny can worked wonders for our puppy back when she was getting into just about everything. Just don't let her see you throwing it because it will then become a toy!
We only used it in extreme circumstances like: grazing the litter box, digging holes to find moles/voles, getting too interested in electrical cords. I dog has always had the run of the farm, so in the beginning we had to watch very closely to correct bad habits in the beginning.
Our experience with this correction is that it only had to be used one time for each offense.
There are many different reasons dogs eat poop and sometimes only certain kinds of poop. Cat, rabbit, and goose can be like candy to certain dogs. Some dogs eat their own poop or the poop of other dogs they live with, it just depends.
Sometimes giving them stuff like pineapple, pumpkin, tabasco sauce, or even the pet store pills/powders like Forbid can work, but usually the dogs don't care or can even like the extra added garnish.
Human toothpaste should not be given to dogs and is not meant for dogs or humans to swallow. Most dog toothpaste is supposed to taste appealing to them so you can brush their teeth. So I'm surprised this would be a deterrent. However, just like with the poop all dogs have unique dislikes and likes when it comes to taste.
The best solution is to pick up the poop immediately. If it's not possible to clean up the poop, then you should try to avoid letting the dog into the area with the poop. This may mean that you will need to take the dog on walks instead of letting them loose in the backyard. You can try training them to stop but it may be behavior they revert back to if the training stops and your not outside to correct them.
It's important to limit contact because other animals can carry parasites and bacteria that could be transferred to your dog and or even to you- if your dog eats some and then licks your face.
when i bought our shih tzu pup I was told by the breeder that they often eat their own poop, well I was so thrilled when it never happened. but at about 12 months old she started digging up cat poop outside and eating it and she goes nuts when the cat uses the litter tray. I banish her from even going into the room where the litter tray is so she just runs up and down the hallway outside but doesnt go near it and as far as digging up the cat poop, I really only got through to her one day when I got cross with her because I told her off and as soon as my back was turned she was back at it again.
since then she has stopped, but in the past I would wash her face and brush her teeth with doggy toothpaste when she did it because it smells god awful! I think trying to get through to him/her that it is not allowed when you catch them in the act is all you can do, just like any other training. To us it is so disgusting but to them it's a yummy treat :^/ my pup was told off several times but it wasnt until I let her know I was VERY serious about it that she even paid attention. Ive also heard that putting Tabasco on the poop can work but with cat poop being buried you dont even know where it is so you do have to catch them in the act.
I am very easy going with my dogs and I can put up with just about anything but eating the cat poop drove me nuts!
My first german shephard never touched his own stuff. But give him access to kitty almond rocha and he would feast. So disgusting!
My second shephard eats everything, starting with bark outside. Then he discovered his poop. We trained him outside on a leash to where we wanted him to go. We would say Potty Now and he peed. Now he pees on demand- kinda cool. He is almost a year and pees in same part of yard. He also poops is certain areas if we take him there first. Again, used leash to take him there.
We tried the cayenne pills and they worked but it took a long time to get in his system and expensive. So we just started scooping after a fresh one before he could get to it. He would not eat out of the scooper so that was good. Somehow, one day he just decided to stop. Probably at 8 months or so.
Then we went on a hike and he discovered sundried cowpies. Yum, those are his favorites. Not sure if he likes hiking to be outdoors or because he anticipates his pies!
Teaching the leave it is a good thing but stong willed dogs will still eat it I think. I really think scooping it each time is best bet and eventually they outgrow it. As for the kitty almond rocha, not sure if they EVER outgrow the love of that.

You seem to have little sense, and I hope you're attitude is not "kommon." I imagine that you are Manchurian and for that reasons, somehow, support NK? From the left or the right, it's hard to find anything to support from the nut-job with elevator shoes. All he has done is to further impoverish and destroy the lives of his benighted people.
really tired of reading comments like yours that show how much you don't know, or if you do know, then your willingness to sacrifice lives of others while you remain safe and sound.
war on the peninsula would result in about million dead South Koreans when North Korea begins its conventional artillary attack on Seoul and across the border along with the human wave attacks from the one milion man army rolling over the border.
Up the figure to millions is not half of the population of South Korea if you include the chemical weapons that are equiped on their missiles and can be used in artillery shells. Might even include Japanese citizens in the death toll. Patriot missile batteries will only shoot down so many missiles.
In the end North Korea losses, but there wont be much left of South Korea to really celebrate the victory. North Korea strategy isn't victory, it is deterence to cause enough destruction and pain to make people think twice.
Here's God's message to god-scaring South Koreans;
A simple invasion of N.Korea would be the simplest idea. THey may have nuclear bombs, but probably no proper way of delivering them..... a good, British or Israeli-type invasioun could finish the gevernment in a few hours, and put the whole country in the control of Seoul
Within 2 to 5 years, South Korean economy may face dire straits. It's good to give North while she can afford. Assumed sinking of South Korean warship by North is the DIRECT consequences of South Korea's policy failure. Confrontational policy will lead to one thing: WAR.
As long as the megalomaniac Kim Jong Il remains in power, he & NK will remain a painfull thorn in the side of SK. Hats off to Mr Lee & the people of SK for their supreme forbearance & big-heartedness.
Hopefully, Kim Jong's heir apparent will have the wisdom to recognise the utter futility of his father's delusions & revert his country from the path of insanity Kim Jong rabidly clings to.

Carolyn was very self-sufficient and organized. She and her guest left the place very clean. I absolutely recommend her and would re-rent to her anytime.
Carolyn was a very friendly guest! We didn't get to meet but all communication with her was very nice. She left the loft in great condition and I'd be happy to host her again.
My husband and I enjoyed hosting Carolyn for her short stay in Ketchum. We highly recommend her as a guest. She is a lovely, interesting, intelligent, independent and considerate person. You can easily welcome her to share your space and you can trust her with your home. We hope to see her again in the future.
Carolyn stayed with us for a night in July. She's charming, relaxed and self-sufficient - highly recommended guest for other hosts. We were very happy to have her to stay.
Communication with Carolyn was excellent. Her sister and mother were very nice people.They left the room clean and what more would host want :) . Great guests .
Carolyn was very nice. She was in a bike trip around Italy, we just meet for the check in and the breakfast the day after.
She left the room in perfect conditions.
I can reccomand her as guest.
I highly recommend Carolyn as a guest. Very clean respectful and friendly. Meeting people like her is the reason i am on airbnb host. It was really a pleasure to host her !
She stayed for a night. Was very fast and we didn't had opportunity to speak. Carolyn was invisible and bright at the same time.
Carolyn ha soggiornato da me solo una notte. E' una persona molto educata. E' arrivata con una bellissima bici, che per fortuna abbiamo provveduto a parcheggiare nel nostro cortile privato. E' una persona che consiglio vivamente.
Carolyn stopped on her way to another place so her stay was very short.However, I had time to appreciate her politeness and (website hidden) was a pleasure meeting her! Good luck for the rest of her trip and her new job!

Get ready: RG3 unveils his brand-new personal logo
What's the measure of a man? Is it courage? The ability to stand up for one's beliefs?
Or maybe it's having your own personal logo. Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has joined that rarified rank, as he posted his new image for the world to see on Instagram.
Check it out:
It kinda has the shape of the state of Nevada. By the way, this isn't just some random thing. The logo is part of his ad campaign with Adidas, so expect to soon see hats, shirts and the like emblazoned with this logo.
Logos are awesome.

"First off, you are dealing with a dumb forage species. When these things are dumped in the lake, they don't know to flee. So, they are easy for bass to eat. Secondly, a bass gets a lot more protein out of one prawn than he does a shad or even bluegill, which enhances growth rates," Jones explains.
Plus, when a bass is eating a prawn, it is not eating a shad or bluegill. This gives relief to these forage species, and they become reserve food for the bass during the cold months when prawns are not available. Although Jones has not done the research on the digestibility of prawns for largemouth, he tends to believe, based on the crazy growth rates he has witnessed at La Perla Lake, that largemouth gain weight more quickly eating the shrimp than eating traditional baitfish.
All this said, prawns aren't for every private lake. These crustaceans die when water temps dip below 55 (which eliminates lakes above I-20) and may be considered an invasive species for lake managers near the coast. Lake owners should check with area biologists before considering prawns as a responsible forage option.
"I was right in the middle of the La Perla project and asked Alton if he'd give me his opinions about what I had done," Schwarz explains.
"Man, I had never seen another lake like it," Jones says. "Gary had done an incredible job building this lake and thinks so far outside the box. I had never heard of anyone using prawns for bass. Gary is an absolute visionary."
Jones has become a great resource for Schwarz and his passion to create the best bass destination in the world.
"Alton has fished everywhere in the world. He knows how bass use cover. He understands how the fish use the underwater landscape for seasonal movements. So, having him listen to my ideas and offer suggestions for cover, structure and design has simply made the Jalisco project even more special."
"A normal aeration system has a 1-horsepower compressor and a handful of oxygen stations to help keep a stable environment in a fishery. To protect La Perla and the incredible investment of time and resources Gary has put into the lake, we designed a system unlike any other I've ever heard of," says John Jones, owner of Lochow Ranch Lake Management.
The La Perla system starts with a 20-hp compressor that pumps air through more than 4 miles of hose to 52 air stations around the lake.
The side benefit of this sprawling system is that it eliminates unproductive water, vastly increasing the lake's carrying capacity for fish.

Publishers Weekly
Memoirist and editor Matousek (Sex Death Enlightenment) attempts to dissect the relationship between life's harshest tests and the gift of self-discovery and survival in this absorbing compendium of anecdotes. The author, who has AIDS, interviews many survivors of trauma and loss, including writer Joan Didion, mystic Andrew Harvey, poet Stanley Kunitz and Tibetan nun Nawang Sangdrol, among others, to inquire how deepest crisis forces us to re-examine our lives and move forward. After stating that "Transformation is in our wiring," Matousek concludes that the key to our survival is not cheating death but living as passionately, creatively and courageously as possible. Using scientific data, psychological research and his own life experiences, he uncovers the essentials of enduring against all odds while answering his chief question: "What force flips a falling person back on his feet, reconstitutes him after disaster, helps him prevail in the face of great challenges?" Matousek shows an uncanny skill for merging spirituality, science and common sense into practical answers for surviving our own lives.

This one isn't a phrase but it confuses me:"Excuse me" being used by people walking in your general direction who aren't going to crash into you & you're really not posing any kind of obstacle to them going on their merry way, which leads me to assume it's an attention-getting device, as in "Hi I'm walking past you now, saw you weren't really noticing me, don't freak out at my proximity to you". Very weird, uniquely American convention that I haven't quite grasped yet.

"He's burning both ends of the same candle"— I don't know what I hate about it, I just do.
"They're just talking" as a euphemism for two people not in a relationship fooling around up to but not including sex. I actually preferred "being with each other," back when that was the thing to say.
Also, in a previous phrases-you-hate thread I mentioned hating "Can I get..." when asking for something. The only time it should be used is by a Southern Baptist preacher asking for an Amen.

"Here goes nothing"— What does it mean?
Clue: Coincidentally, the phrase means exactly the same as one of its component words.
I actually hadn't heard or read that one since about ten minutes after watching an ep of 'Rowan & Martin's Laugh In' for the last time, some time around 1969. 'R&M'sL-I' was a classic show, and a ground-breaker, but it has spawned a ream of catch-phrases for subsequent flogging to death, even more than Monty Python. Fortunately, 'Here goes nothing' ran out of legs faster than most of them.

Business school teachers apparently have not yet stopped telling their students to claim to have a "passion" for _______. Nobody is impressed by these passionate claims; on the other hand, the use of the word indicates a certain willingness to say whatever the boss needs to hear, which might be a factor in getting hired if toadying is an important job function.
The word passion has become boilerplate: your thoughts.
The most inadvertently funny version of why-not-to-do-this I ever saw was an ag student who claimed to "have a passion for livestock."

It's a red herring that only goes to show up the fallacies of morons who go around using it. describing someone as a champagne socialist assumes that wealthy people shouldn't care about the welfare of those less well off than them. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy about certain rightwing values; as if monetary wealth should work as an automatic tranquiliser that halts any empathic or idealistic thoughts, or that once you have money, you've joined some special club and shouldn't ever have to worry about people less well off than you again. That, or of course donate all your money to charity and live like St Francis of Assisi the rest of your fucking life while the world keeps spinning and nothing changes.

Environmental Justice Workshop (EJW)
The Environmental Justice Workshop (EJW) is a working group within Students for Environmental and Economic Justice (SEEJ), a student organization dedicated to the just and equitable distribution of environmental and economic benefits and burdens for communities of color and low-income neighborhoods. SEEJ is committed to the strategic use of legal tools to strengthen grassroots organizing and to build community power. EJW provides an opportunity for first-year law students to work in teams with second- and third-year students to provide pro bono legal assistance to local grassroots environmental justice and international watchdog organizations. Students engage with issues that are local, national, and international in scope, including issues related to climate change, sustainable economic development, food justice, international finance and development, land use and permitting, and energy policy. EJW's current projects include:
The EJW Community Food Enterprise ("Legal Eats") works with the Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC) and the Green-Collar Communities Clinic (GC3) to provide legal support and counseling to small-scale food enterprises serving low-income communities in Northern California. Each semester, students research and present on discrete topics at the Legal Eats Workshop which provides an overview of critical legal issues faced by community food enterprises and connects participants with local organizations to support their needs. Later in the semester, students engage with clients who participated in the workshop and are seeking legal guidance for their enterprises. Students interview clients, conduct legal research on issues identified through the interviews, and lead in-person client consultations, with attorney supervision and assistance.
Karuk Berkeley Collaborative (KBC) facilitates collective action on social justice projects between members of the University of California-Berkeley community, including Berkeley Law, and the Karuk Tribe in Northern California. Our legal work includes initiatives that enhance the eco-cultural revitalization of the people and landscapes within Karuk ancestral lands and territories, as well as supporting related environmental and social justice projects.

The industry report identifies the leading companies and offers strategic industry analysis of the key factors influencing the market.
Demand for hazardous waste hauling services is high, with a wide range of downstream industries producing waste that requires collection and transportation by specialist firms.

IBISWorld estimates hazardous waste volumes will increase at an annualised 1.7% over the five years through 2014-15. Higher volumes and strong pricing levels have contributed to industry revenue growth over these years.
Government regulations allowing only licensed companies to haul hazardous waste benefit the industry... purchase to read more
The Hazardous Waste Hauling industry has growth at a relatively strong rate in the past five years due to increasing demand and high pricing levels.

Don't Starve is hitting the PS4 today, free on PS Plus
Last year, Don't Starve hit the PC and took the community by storm. Although the game looks incredibly unique, there's an insane layer of depth there due to its genius design. Today, you can pick the game up on the PlayStation 4, and even better -- for free if you're a PS+ subscriber.
There are no real differences in this version outside of native DualShock 4 support, but you'll automatically get all 10 updates the PC crowd has slowly accrued over the course of 2013, trophy support, and an Adventure Mode unlocked right away.
If you haven't played Don't Starve yet, this is the perfect time to try it out. It really took me by surprise, and as a fan of multiple genres (including simulations), it's crazy how so many gameplay styles are mashed together harmoniously.

To the moon and back for less than 2 billion dollars
Washington (AFP) Dec 6, 2012
Two former top NASA officials unveiled plans Thursday to sell manned flights to the moon by the end of the decade, in an announcement 40 years after the last human set foot there. Spaceflight, long the province of national governments, has moved toward increased commercialization in recent years, with private companies for the first time successfully launching rockets into orbit. The US space agency, in the hopes of keeping costs down, even retired its space shuttles in 2011. NASA has instead pa ... read more

Knife River father, daughter to run marathon together
Erik Furo is modest about his place in Grandma's Marathon history. He was the youngest runner to complete the now 35-year-old race. "It's not fair," he said, because shortly after running the marathon at age 10 in 1983, the age requirement for the race was bumped up to 12. "Nobody will ever get the chance to break the record," Furo said.

Multi Colored Hydrangea
Hi, I had a hydrangea, probably a macrophylla/mop head, that I loved and I would like to find another one with similar characteristics. The blooms were huge and ever changing in colors. Each head would usually start out lime green, then pink would start to flush in, then it would go into antique mode and turn lime green and maroon. Gorgeous, and excellent for cutting. Anyone know of one that has this color changing ability? Thanks
The reality is that most macrophyllas will go through a series of colorations, with the whites producing the least amount of variability. Buds will typically be formed showing one color that will mature into something different. Then as the flowers age, the color will intensify then begin to fade to a more neutral tone. How much of this color change they produce depends a lot on weather and growing conditions as well as the fact that some cultivars tend to produce a wider range of color changes than others. Serratas will do this as well - 'Beni Gaku' is well known for this color change.
It is quite possible that it is one of the Hovaria series (aka Kaleidoscope), but it could be a number of other cultivars as well. IME, hydrangeas act very differently in different gardens in different locations :-)

A year ago today, the worst year of my life began.
A nephew called to tell us that my brother had apparently had a major heart attack. An hour or so later, he called again, to tell us that my brother—my only sibling, and, since the death of my parents in 2003 and 2005, the only survivor, besides me, of my nuclear family—had died.
He had just about finished building a "cabin"—really, it's a beautiful lodge—up in the forests of northern Idaho, not too far from the Canadian border. His widow, my sister in law, has now moved up from California, and, having decided that she ought not to spend this anniversary alone, my wife and I have come up to visit her.
This is the blog entry that I began writing within minutes of hearing that my brother had died:
This is the newspaper column that I wrote in the wake of the news:
Not a day has passed during the past year without my missing him. Painfully. And it's been a very rough year for other reasons, too. Some of them very public, some of them not.
"Hell is other people," Jean-Paul Sartre famously wrote. I take his point. They can be. But true hell, it seems to me, is the irremediable absence of those we love.

You'd Better Not Die Or I'll Kill You: A Caregiver's Survival Guide to Keeping You in Good Health and Good Spirits
Chronicle Books, Oct 31, 2012 - Biography & Autobiography - 288 pages
Bestselling writer Jane Heller thought she'd found her dream man—until he turned out to be a "frequent flier," the term doctors and nurses use to refer to patients who land in the E.R. more often than the average person goes to Starbucks. Here, Jane shares her experiences of looking after her chronically ill husband with Nora Ephron–like wit, and offers practical guidance for handling it all without drowning. With advice on staying healthy while caring for a loved one and learning to communicate with medical staff, plus wisdom from other caregivers and experts, this is a personal and invaluable tool kit that also manages to prompt laughter and inspire. For the more than 65 million caregivers in the US alone, this book couldn't be more timely or important.
