Strangers on a Train--Robert Walker's Bruno is, IMO, Hitchcock's greatest screen invention. Anthony Perkins's acting in Psycho is better (though I think Psycho is one of Hitchcock's weakest screenplays), and Cary Grant is more loveable, but Walker's character is a once in a generation role.
North by Northwest--Cary Grant's finest hour--one of the most nuanced movies I've ever seen.
No contest for me... North by Northwest.

I like the dark Cary and the erotic, perverse love affair w/ Bergman in "Notorious".... iconic Hitchcock scenes such as the classic, long crane shot of the key in Bergman's hand...the resignation of Claude Rains as he goes back into the house in the last shot of the movie , the look on his mother's face when she learns the truth about Alicia and lights that cigarette and ... of course the passionate, extended 3 minute kissing scene.. Hitchcock's best, imho.
Rear Window is a close second. I can look out that back window w/ Scottie over and over again.

1. Rear Window
2. North by Northwest
Put a tally mark next to Rear Window for me.
For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.
Easily Rear Window. It's probably in the top 3 of my all-time favorite movies. I NEVER get tired of watching Grace Kelly
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.
Yep Rear Window by far. Couple great performaces in Stewart and Kelly.
Great twister... Excellent movie.
In those things which we commit to practice we can master, and with mastery we have the freedom to use these skills whenever we desire, without this practice we are slaves to our inability.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Sad to say that I've not seen too many. The Birds stands out for me though.
Does anyone remember Alfred Hitchcock Presents? I once saw a clip from the opening of the show where Alfred is explaining how actors get "into" character. He says something to the effect that this actor is preparing for his role as a stuffy old codger by pretending to be an elephant. The camera pulls back and he is standing next to a real elephant. Alfred looks at the animal then back at the camera and deadpans, "Excellent".
Note to self: watch more Hitchcock movies.

Updated: August 27, 2004, 10:15 AM ETAssociated Press
ATHENS, Greece -- Iraqi and Italian soccer players planned to wear black armbands on their uniforms during their Olympic bronze medal game Friday in honor of an Italian journalist killed in Iraq.
The International Olympic Committee approved Iraq's request and Italy's delegation was proposing that all its athletes be allowed to wear the armbands Friday.

|Diamondbacks | Jake Lamb lands on DL
Tue, 21 Apr 2015 13:58:07 -0700
Arizona Diamondbacks 3B Jake Lamb (foot) was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a left foot stress reaction Tuesday, April 21. The D-backs recalled INF Danny Dorn from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.
Fantasy Tip: Lamb should be stashed in a DL slot in all fantasy baseball leagues. Yasmany Tomas ($2,500, 5.0% of cap), who was initially called up to be a bat off the bench, will now see his fantasy value rise significantly with consistent playing time. Tomas is starting at third base Tuesday night, and he has considerable upside at his price.

2007 BEST Personal Trainer
Gregg D'Andrea
After teaching spinning at workout meccas like Equinox and Crunch, D'Andrea opened his own 5,000-square-foot fitness studio last year to cater to his considerable following. (He claims a 70 percent retention rate among his clients.) Free advice: "For weight training, dumbbells give far better results than machines. And forget weight belts. Last I heard, cavemen didn't wear weight belts, and they were in better shape than some of the people working out now."

+ - Either everyone is cyber-secure or no one is
When I was working with the Guardian on the Snowden documents, the one top-secret program the NSA desperately did not want us to expose was QUANTUM. This is the NSA's program for what is called packet injection--basically, a technology that allows the agency to hack into computers.
Turns out, though, that the NSA was not alone in its use of this technology. The Chinese government uses packet injection to attack computers. The cyberweapons manufacturer Hacking Team sells packet injection technology to any government willing to pay for it. Criminals use it. And there are hacker tools that give the capability to individuals as well.
All of these existed before I wrote about QUANTUM. By using its knowledge to attack others rather than to build up the internet's defenses, the NSA has worked to ensure that anyone can use packet injection to hack into computers.

Chang had gone to the conference to gather information about the massacre, hopeful that the material she found there could form the basis of a book. Her first book, Thread of the Silkworm (Basic), the story of a Chinese-born physicist who was deported from the U.S. as a Communist sympathizer, was due to be published the following year, and she was eager to begin work on a second. Chang was 26, tall, slim, with straight jet-black hair and a regal manner, but she looked years younger. "I'm working on a book project," she told Ignatius Ding, whose organization, the Global Alliance for Preserving the History of World War II in Asia, was hosting the conference. "She looked like a high school kid, so I told her, this is not a subject you want to write your book report on," he says. "No, no, I'm a professional," she replied. Ding tried to dissuade her from the projectit would be too tough to get information, for one thing, since neither the governments of China nor Japan nor even that of the U.S. were all that keen on the subjectbut Chang was adamant.
Three years later Chang published The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II (Basic). It described the Japanese atrocities in graphic detailvictims were gang-raped and mutilated, others buried aliveand became a bestseller, sparking an international call for Japan to atone for its war crimes. Critics and historians heralded the book; right-wing Japanese nationalists called Chang a liar, and worse. She became a popular speaker on college campuses, completed a third book, The Chinese in America (Viking), and began work on a fourth, a history about the Bataan Death March.
And then, last November, she committed suicide, firing a single pistol round into her mouth on a quiet dirt road about 25 miles from her home. Internet chat rooms buzzed with conspiracy theories; she had been murdered by right-wing Japanese nationalists, many thought, or by the yakuza. The rumors continued even after her parents revealed that she had been suffering from clinical depression for months, and had been prescribed anti-psychotic drugs.
Many believed she was driven to kill herself by the sheer horror of her research, that years of listening to tale after tale of brutality had finally taken their toll. Helen Zia, journalist, activist, and author of the book Asian American Dreams, says it would "just compound the tragedy of her death if people were to think that speaking out about hate crimes, about human rights violations, about genocide, is bad for you."
Him Mark Lai, board member of the Chinese Historical Society of America, remembers watching Chang going after sources at a group luncheon, "making a beeline for them and picking their brains." When preparing to write The Rape of Nanking, she studied how certain books become bestsellers. "She deliberately created that phenomenon," says Ding. "She did marketing research, what's unique about this book, when is the best time to hit the market. She would ask authors, 'Which of your books was the most popular, and how long did it take, and what happened?' She was scary in her research." He remembers phone conversations when he could hear Chang furiously typing on the other end. "She would write down everything. I felt like I was talking to the FBI. You couldn't lie; she would remember'See, three years ago you told me this.' "
Sam Chu Lin, a radio and television journalist, recalls the time Chang was going through files in the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and became trapped inside the building. "She was so involved in her research that she forgot the building was closing," he says. She called her husband, who told her to dial 911. She refused, afraid that the incident would be reported in the national news. "Iris was the type of independent person who didn't want to be embarrassed," says Lin. Eventually she found a security guard, who let her out. Lin joked about it at Chang's memorial service, but it was a telling moment, that a writer so fearless could also be so concerned about revealing even the smallest of mistakes.
UCLA history professor Henry Yu, co-founder of a group of historians who are writing textbooks about the Asian American and Pacific Islander experience, recently taught Chang's The Chinese in America in an undergraduate class. The text is a diatribe against 150 years of homegrown bigotry, from the Chinese Exclusion Act to Wen Ho Lee. His students loved it. "The early parts of the book, where she talks about the early histories, they piss you off," he says. "That's a valuable thing, teaching-wise. I want my students to be pissed off."
It's too soon to know what Chang's legacy will be, whether she will be remembered more for her books or for her activism or for her untimely death. Her suicide was so sudden that people still lapse into the present tense when speaking of her, describing her quirks and idiosyncrasies as if she were still alive. Her official website, irischang.net, makes no mention of her death and continues to list her speaking schedule and contact information. There are concerns that her suicide will overshadow all else, but it's likely, as with the suicides of other famous authors, that the shock of hers will diminish with time as well. Certainly the international movement sparked by The Rape of Nanking will continue, albeit in unforeseeable ways. "I think that's going to be an impact that we're going to feel for generations," says Zia. "We don't even know what that impact is going to be yet, because this brewing tension between China and Japan right now is big, and has the potential to become even bigger. And Iris, her work, was a huge part of that."

You may not know his name, but you almost certainly know his voice. Lee Marshall was a sports broadcaster and a rock deejay, but he became a voiceover icon when he became the voice of Tony the Tiger in 1999, in commercials for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. Marshall died in late April of esophageal cancer. He was 64 years old.

So adorable and funny. It sure is a conversation piece. Seems to be very comfortable for her and doesn't constict movement in any way. I just throw this in the washer to clean. I have never put this in my dryer, I just hang up to dry. The color so far hasn't faded. I just wish there was more choices available with colors,sayings and sizes.
Pros: comfortable, easy to wash
Cons: not enough choices

Buehrle gets 9th win, Blue Jays beat Rays 9-6
TORONTO (AP) — Another blast by Edwin Encarnacion helped make Mark Buehrle the first nine-game winner in baseball.
Buehrle won his season-best fifth straight decision, Encarnacion and Adam Lind hit back-to-back home runs and the Toronto Blue Jays extended their winning streak to eight games, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 9-6 on Tuesday night.
"Everybody's having fun," Encarnacion said. "You can see it on their faces. We're playing great baseball."
Juan Francisco also homered for the AL East-leading Blue Jays, who have won 13 of 15 and are 19-7 in May.
Buehrle said he's grateful to have Encarnacion's booming bat supporting him.
"He's everything you could ask for," Buehrle said. "Offensively and defensively, he's awesome."
Encarnacion connected for the 14th time in May, matching Jose Bautista's team record for home runs in a month. Bautista hit 14 homers in June 2012.
"Eddie's on some kind of roll right now," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
Encarnacion has homered in three straight games for the third time this season.
The Blue Jays lead the majors with 76 home runs. They have gone deep in 10 straight games and 29 of their past 34, hitting 58 homers in that span.
Buehrle (9-1) allowed four runs, three earned, and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander walked one and struck out three.
Casey Janssen finished for his eighth save in as many chances.
Sean Rodriguez had three RBIs for the Rays, who lost their second straight following a season-best four-game winning streak. Rays manager Joe Maddon said he's just hoping to get out of Toronto without being swept.
"Taking one out of three right now sounds very enticing," Maddon said.
Lind and Encarnacion both connected off Rays right-hander Alex Cobb, who lost for the first time since April 1 and saw his streak of 24 2-3 scoreless innings snapped.
Cobb (1-2) allowed season-worsts of six runs and nine hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out seven.
The Rays gave Cobb the lead in the fourth on an RBI double by Rodriguez and an RBI grounder by Will Myers, but the right-hander couldn't hold it. Brett Lawrie and Dioner Navarro hit two-out RBI singles in the bottom half to tie the game and snap Cobb's scoreless streak. Cobb had not allowed an earned run since his first start, April 1 against Toronto.
Jose Reyes began the fifth with a line drive that struck Cobb on the right thigh, knocking him to the ground. Cobb appeared shaken up, but stayed in the game after a few warmup pitches.
"The first couple of warmup pitches the leg was still a little bit dead," Cobb said. "Honestly, by the third or fourth pitch, going back into game mode, it wasn't a factor. It was something I felt was out of my mind."
Last June, Cobb was hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of Kansas City's Eric Hosmer and wound up in hospital. He didn't return until mid-August.

The Streaker "Isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings." That's what actor David Niven said in 1974 after a naked man streaked across the stage at the Oscars just as he was about to present an award. The Brit never lost his cool or batted an eyelid while the audience roared with laughter.
Marlon Brando Makes A Statement He was never one to shy away from controversy so in 1973 when Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Godfather he made a statement without even turning up at the ceremony. He sent Sacheen Littlefeather, an Apache and the then president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee to give a speech in his place. Littlefeather said Brando "regretfully cannot accept this very generous award" because of "the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry and on television and in movie reruns."
Chris Rock v Jude Law v Sean Penn In 2005 comedian Chris Rock struck gold by offending two actors in one go with a single joke. The host mocked the British actor Jude Law by asking: "Who is Jude Law? Why is he in every movie I have seen in the last four years?" Neither Law nor Sean Penn was amused and when the latter presented an award later that night he grumpily said: "Forgive my lack of humor…Jude Law is one of our most talented actors."
Sally Field: 'You Really Like Me' Sally Field could have won an Oscar for her acceptance speech alone in 1985 when she gushed, and gushed, and gushed after finding out she won in the Best Actress category for her performance in Places In The Heart. She was mocked for years after for telling the audience: "And I can't deny the fact that you like me – right now – you like me."
Anne Hathaway v James Franco The headlines were scathing the morning after Anne Hathaway and James Franco presented the 2011 Oscars, with critics calling the show "boring," a "disaster" and the hosts as being "spectacularly bad." Franco received the most criticism, with The Hollywood Reporter saying the actor "seemed distant [and] uninterested." A source told Us Weekly that even Hathaway pointed the finger at her co-host, saying: "She had to provide all the energy – he was just phoning it in."
anessa Redgrave Criticizes 'Zionist Hoodlums' When it comes to controversy Vanessa Redgrave could go head-to-head with Marlon Brando. Her pro-Palestinian views have never sat easily with some so she added salt to the wound in 1978 when – while accepting her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Julia – she took aim at a "small bunch of Zionist hoodlums." Members of the audience hissed and moaned.
Gwyneth Paltrow's Acceptance Speech Could this have been the moment when the Gwyneth Paltrow backlash began? In 1999, while accepting a Best Actress Oscar for her role in Shakespeare In Love, Paltrow cried throughout her three-minute speech complete with gulps, gushes, shakes and a crumpled face.
Adrien Brody Kisses Halle Berry Adrien Brody took full advantage of his moment in the sun when he went up to collect his Best Actor Oscar for The Pianist in 2002. Before he even thanked the Academy he grabbed presenter Halle Berry and gave her a long kiss on the lips.
Oops! Melissa Leo's F-bomb Slipping the F-word into your acceptance speech – during a live broadcast – is sure to get you into the Academy Award history books. Melissa Leo seemingly couldn't help herself when she collected her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in The Fighter. She quipped: "When I watched Kate [Winslet] two years ago it looked so f**king easy."
Seth MacFarlane The mere fact that the Academy picked the notorious Seth MacFarlane to host the awards ceremony was controversial for some people. But on the night he delivered a plethora of bawdy jokes throughout the 2013 broadcast that outraged many. His song listing the actresses who have bared the boobs on screen was more than enough to peeve Jane Fonda and that was just the beginning of the show.
Rob Lowe & Snow White Rob Lowe singing – off-key – with Snow White can hardly be called controversial, surely? Apparently it can. Seventeen celebrities including Julie Andrews, Billy Wilder and Paul Newman signed a letter to the Academy saying that the 1989 performance was "an embarrassment to both [the Oscars] and the entire picture industry."
Hattie McDaniel & The Segregated Table She may have been the first African-American to ever win an Oscar but that doesn't mean that Hattie McDaniel didn't experience some painful moments along the way. Most notably when she went to pick up her award for Best Supporting Actress for Gone With The Wind in 1940, she had to make her way from the segregated table at the back of the room, where she sat apart from the rest of the cast.
From F-bombs and flat jokes to tears and musical numbers with Disney characters, there is a long list of cringe-worthy and controversial moments during the Oscar awards' 86-year history. Here are a few of the best.

Seattle, Wa (PRWEB) December 06, 2013
The new "15 side effects of sleep deprivation" article on the website Healthreviewcenter.com delivers some causes of sleep deprivation and negative effects of not getting enough sleep. At the beginning of the article, the author points out that sleep loss induces significant reductions in performance and alertness. Sleep-deprived people have trouble focusing on tasks and overestimate their performance. After that, this article indicates that sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain fast. "Sleep deprivation slows your metabolism and increases your appetite. It also makes you crave high-fat and high-carb foods," says Michael Breus, PhD, a psychologist and sleep disorder specialist in Scottsdale, AZ. Sleep deprivation leads to increased blood pressure, impaired creativity and innovation, increased risk of cardiac morbidity, stroke, heart failure, and diabetes. "Insomnia and depression feed on each other. Sleep deprivation usually aggravates the symptoms of depression, and depression also makes it more difficult to fall asleep," says sleep expert Phil Gehrman, PhD.
In addition, the writing takes people step-by-step through a process of learning why sleep loss can make people forgetful and how to fix it naturally. The report advises readers that infants require about 16 hours of sleep a day, teenagers need about 9 hours of sleep on average, and most adults need 7 to 8 hours a night. The article also reveals that sleep-deprived people seem to be especially prone to poor judgment. "Studies show that over time, people who are getting six hours of sleep, instead of seven or eight, begin to feel that they've adapted to that sleep deprivation -- they've gotten used to it," says Lisa Shives, MD, an internist and sleep medicine expert in Evanston, IL, and the medical expert for SleepBetter.org. In other words, in the article, people will discover

How to Purge Sand from Clams
By Hank Shaw on June 19, 2014 | 20 Responses
It's occurred to me that there is a lot of misinformation out there about purging the sand from clams. I've been doing it for many, many years and here is how I do it, and what you need to know to do it yourself at home.

New England Style Fried Clams
By Hank Shaw on May 29, 2014 | 17 Responses
I love fried clams. A lot. Maybe too much. My sisters will attest to this. Well, this is how they make fried clams in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, where I've been eating giant baskets of them since at least 1974. This recipe is so good you'll want to head out to the clam flats ASAP.

Smoked Mussels
By Hank Shaw on December 16, 2013 | 7 Responses
I never liked smoked mussels out of a can. So I thought I did not like them. But on a lark, I decided to make some myself. Holy crap they are good! Rarely have I encountered something so foul in a can that is so sublime when homemade.

Epic Clamming and White Clam Sauce
By Hank Shaw on August 1, 2013 | 5 Responses
No matter if you are foraging, fishing or hunting, everyone wants a bonanza. Well, I had a day like that last week clamming with fellow forager Kirk Lombard. And when it was over, there was really only one dish I could make: Classic pasta with white clam sauce.

Clam Cakes Block Island
By Hank Shaw on April 11, 2012 | 46 Responses
Clam cakes? Yep, they're a Rhode Island tradition. I eat them every time I go to Block Island. Think clam beignet, or a clam donut hole. They are sinfully good.

Just saw this apparently Microsoft has announced the Forza 5 car pass which includes dozens of cars (Neogaf said 40) for 50$ which is kind of a step price if you ask me. But hey at least you will save a whole of 18% if you buy the pass.
Here is the link for the officia Xboxl site:
That is like a full retail game for just cars. I just hope this does not become any kind of trend because that is really expensive.

Vintage: 2011
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is widely considered to be one of the finest varietals of white wine grapes. The green skinned fruit is notable for ripening relatively early in the year, due to the fact that it prefers milder temperatures and cannot maintain its distinctive flavors in hot climates. As such, it has become a favorite grape varietal for wineries in many very different countries around the world, where it can benefit from brisk, coastal breezes and mild early summers. Sauvignon Blanc is revered for its freshness and zesty character, and generally produces wines which are dry and very crisp on the palate. However, there are a wide variety of wines produced from this wonderfully versatile grape – with many wineries preferring to age the fermented juices in oak, or allowing malolactic fermentation to add a creamier, buttery finish to the grassy and tropical, citrus flavors it often carries.
Region: Loire Valley
In France, the region most closely associated with the production of fine white wines is the Loire Valley, a particularly fertile and temperate region near the Atlantic coast. This reputation is certainly justified, and the Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc vines which flourish in this region produce both dry and dessert wines of exquisite character and flavor However, the region is also responsible for some seriously high quality Cabernet Franc based wines, such as those found in the sub-region of Chenin, and plenty of elegant bubbly crémant wines, which are often fruitier and more lively than those found in Champagne, and with a character all of their own. The Loire Valley is an ancient wine region, with archaeological evidence dating wine production in this area back to the first century.
Country: France
French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.

Water crisis a moral mandate, matter of justice
Water is important in California. Water puts the oranges in our orange juice, cotton in our jeans, nuts in our snacks and milk in our coffee. It is also the very foundation of life. As people of faith, we cannot remain silent when part of our human family lacks access to safe water. To allow such a shameful situation to continue diminishes the humanity of us all.
As we address the current crisis and chart our course toward an uncertain hydrological future, we know that we are all in this together. We believe that AB 685 is a necessary step to balance the needs of families, with those of the environment and the economy.

For further information please click on the desired apartment or do not hesitate to contact us.

The apartment was very clean, quiet, and nicely appointed. It is a short walk to the main shopping area as well as a fantastic food market, which is basically next door. There is also a tram that stops right down the street. The area is safe and as noted before very quiet. The only possible down side is that it is up several flights of stairs, but that's really just some extra exercise. Peter, the owner was very helpful and responsive, as was the apartment representative.
This apartment is nicely furnished with a fully stocked kitchen, but it's best asset is its location, half a block from the Great Market Hall on the inner ring road, a ten minute walk from the Gellert Hotel spa, and within two blocks of tram, bus, and metro stops, making all of Budapest easily accessible. We were two couples traveling together. The bathroom is accessible through one bedroom, so we had to work out a schedule for using it. Otherwise, the apartment was ideal.
Peter was very responsive throughout our preparations and even called to insure we had arrived and all was in order. He provided good restaurant recommendations (the inexpensive local restaurant around the corner was perfect for lunch three days in a row). He also helped us arrange a private guide who was excellent for a full day walking tour, as well as a driver to take us to the airport on the day of our departure. The Great Market Hall has virtually everything you will need for groceries, but don't miss the Asian market (in reality, an international food store) between the apartment and the Market Hall.
When I first walked into this apartment, I almost cried. It is absolutely beautiful with lots of space, wooden floors, high ceilings, and huge windows overlooking the street by the Great Market Hall. We stayed in Apartment 2 with our two year old boy, and we frankly did not want to leave. The apartment is renovated and has a kitchen that caused envy over my kitchen at home! We were greeted by the owner's very friendly housekeeper whose children nicely helped carry our bags and stroller up to the apartment. The owner is easily reached by phone for any questions and had a bottle of delicious Hungarian wine and a bottle of water awaiting us in the fridge. The apartment has air conditioning, which was well received as we were there with record temperatures for Europe! It is an easy walked (2-3 minutes to the tram and the metro) and is very secure. We are already trying to find a way to make it back to stay in this lovely apartment before our tour in Europe is complete. Thank you Familie Kluge!
This is a very spacious apartment, well furnished and very well maintained in a brilliant location in Budapest. Our group of two lots of two adults found it most comfortable. It is in the centre of Budapest next to one of the best food markets in Europe (that I have seen), nad close to very good restuarants, the underground railway and the Danube.
The ability to deal directly with the owners was also an advantage who were most helpful with arrival and departure arrangements.
I don't often tick the excellent box, but this was excellent.
The apartment was excellent: rooms spacious, spotlessly clean, furniture and fittings first class, appliances all worked and rooms air conditioned.
The booking process was smooth and facilitated efficiently by owners.
On site 'management' was available and completed in a friendly manner.
Access to apartment was by three flights of stairs, which could be difficult for some people.
We would highly recommend this apartment to friends and we would seek to stay there again.
Absolutely lovely apartment - very bright, impeccably clean, well equipped, comfortable. Excellent location next to market, nearby transit, across the bridge from Gellert baths, nearby restaurants, sightseeing. Stairs to climb and access to main bathroom is through one bedroom. We would definitely recommend it and hope to return.
The house is located in the centre of Budapest, at the end of Vaci utca (main shopping street), 100 m from the Danube-river, close to Europes most beautifull market hall and the Gellert Hotel (Liberty Bridge). Its central location makes it possible to reach the entire inner city by foot. All public transport is just a few steps away. Parking can be found three minutes away at the Korona Hotel.

Lightweight romance/family drama highlighting the long term damage of kids in care. I remain unconvinced by Elizabeth, Victoria's potential adoptive mother which reduced my overall enjoyment. And , as another reviewer noted, the glossary of flowers and their meaning came as a surprise at the end of the book.
I love the idea of telling stories with flowers, but I had a hard time with Victoria. I didn't really like her, even though I understand why she is the way she is. I wanted more information on the meanings of the flowers, and didn't even know there was a list in the back of the book until I had finished the book.
Listened to the recorded version of Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. This book was touted as being excellent for book discussion groups, however, I found the plot so contrived and downright silly in places, that I wanted to throw it against the wall. Problem #1 - the heroine is so stupid. I get it that she came out of the foster child system from birth, but if you are smart enough and gifted enough to make enough money to pay rent and buy food in San Francisco you can't be that stupid. Problem #2 - how do you get away with running a business that pays rent and buys food in San Francisco and never file a tax form, or get a birth certificate for your child? This would never happen in the real world, but it does make for good fiction. That said - I did want to find out how things resolved in the end, so the author was able to keep me reading long enough to do that. Even so, this wouldn't be my first pick for a book group. Or even my second. Or third. It would be in the maybe list. At best I could only rate it as average.
Beautiful and creative way to tell a story of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
I was very intrigued by the "back cover summary" and diving into this book was easy. Following Victoria through the foster homes and into independency was good story telling that kept me turning pages. Even the cat-and-mouse initial meetings with Grant was cute -- I'm glad a flower "Dictionary" was provided. I didn't always agree with Victoria's choices and sometimes thought another action or result should have happened. That may be an ideal feedback for the author -- a reader takes what you give and owns it to the point of wishing better things or more happiness.
I recommend this book to anyone with a fondness for literature/novel genres. The focus on plant/flower meanings was very interesting and made for a unique approach in storytelling. This would make a good discussion book for a book club.
At first blush it sounds like something Dickens might have come up with, had Dickens been deeply interested in flower arranging.
In this absorbing and delicately wrought debut novel, Diffenbaugh heeds the creative-writing maxim: Write what you know. She has been a foster mother and has taught art and writing in low-income communities.This experience is discernible in The Language of Flowers. The idea that an angry young girl such as Victoria would actually be interested in flowers and their meanings seems implausible on one level, and yet Diffenbaugh uses to good effect the belief that evergreen hope lies nascent within most damaged kids.
In the end, she offers a cautionary tale about what happens to kids who've grown without families, one that strives to be honest but still hopeful. Children like Victoria may be able to survive on their own, but in order to do better than that - to thrive - they need support. But it's never too late to learn how to love.

The Strangest Shabbos You've Ever Seen
Blogging Joshua Cohen's 'Witz'
The Scroll will be blogging selected sections of Witz, the new novel from Tablet Magazine columnist Joshua Cohen. Josh will be celebrating James Joyce's Ulysses with us next Wednesday, June 16.
It's not easy to imagine someone even glancing at Joshua Cohen's 817-page Modernist epic novel Witz and mistaking it for a run-of-the-mill Holocaust memoir or Eastern-European-genealogical romp, of the type that lands on the desks of staffers at Jewish magazines several times per week. But, as though to make absolutely certain that no one gets misled by the w-pronounced-as-a-v in the title, Cohen (at 29, an already-accomplished novelist and essayist) opens Witz with a sort of moat of difficulty. All seeking entry into its main narrative must cross.
For the first 20 pages or so, we find ourselves in a cubistically rendered mincha service in what seems to be an observant Jewish quarter somewhere in the contemporary United States. Then, we cross "from the world of the father to that of the mother," in Cohen's words, and land, still confused, at the Shabbos dinner of Hanna and Israel Israelian and their twelve semi-interchangeable daughters. At the end of the meal, Hanna will give birth, right there on the kitchen table, to a son, Benjamin, who happens to come out of the womb already a little old Jewish man. Benjamin will wind up being the last Jew on earth, and the novel's protagonist. But we don't know any of that yet.
The Shabbos dinner is divided obliquely into seven parts, one for each of the days of creation. In the first part, images of light are everywhere: The Israelians' "table, like the sun, almost set"; Israel, finishing up work at his New York law firm before rushing home to New Jersey by sundown, has "the Sabbath to the left of him, Sabbath to the right, but there's no Sabbath where he's sitting—the sun stayed above him, just waiting." In the next part, God creates water: Eldest daughter Rubina, making her bed before the guests ("the Dunkelspiels, the Kestenbaums, the Lembergs, the Friedmans") arrive, imagines "her bed's less a bed than an ocean." Etcetera.
Cohen is not the only contemporary writer to arrange an ambitious novel according to kabbalistic stratagems, but he may be the most committed to the task—like Ulysses, Witz is a book that cries out for an annotated edition.
Cohen also has a Joycean yen for devising strange new compound words—"cleanscooks," "pushpulling," "tossturn," "matzahballs," "challahknife"—as well as for internal monologues that take place on toilet seats: One guest, Mr. Feigenbaum, spends most of the meal in the bathroom trying to defecate.
In the seventh section—which would be when God rested, for those of you who were asleep during that Hebrew School class—the guests gather up their coats, checking the pockets to make sure the Israelian girls haven't helped themselves to their wallets. They go home. And then, as though it were the normal conclusion to a Shabbos dinner, the world's last Jew is born, "His glasses' lenses, smudgy with fluid, that and His, nu, you know, too, which is hairy as well, the beard down below and apparently, can it be, already circumcised … ."

Police puzzle over leads
'Just don't know what happened'
The investigation into the shooting death of Memphis police Lt. Ed Vidulich has spawned more questions than answers.
Vidulich, 51, was found early Monday morning at his home on Shiloh Street, northeast of Frayser Boulevard and Thomas Street.
Detectives were trying to determine whether Vidulich was in fact the victim of a home invasion, and whether two burglaries of his home in the past few months are connected.
Police spokeswoman Detective Monique Martin said there was no sign of forced entry into the residence.
"Whether he unlocked the door, somebody he knew came in, or somebody surprised him, we just don't know what happened," Memphis Police Director Larry Godwin said.
"We are trying to backtrack," said Godwin.
Detectives were also trying to determine whether anything was taken from the home.
When asked whether Vidulich might have been targeted because he was a police officer, Godwin said, "Nothing is pointing to that."
Police are asking for the public's help in determining Vidulich's activities between 9 p.m. Sunday when he talked to his wife and shortly before midnight, when his car was found burning several blocks away in the 1600 block of Winston Drive.
After firefighters doused the flame, police detectives traced the car to Vidulich. When they went to his home, they found him unresponsive. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Memphis City Council offered a $5,000 reward for information that helps catch the killers, and Crime Stoppers offered $1,000. Blues City Café on Beale added another $1,000.
"He was a special friend to our family," said Godwin, who said he trained with Vidulich at the police academy. "Actually he was part of our family. ... He was a true friend, a big man with a big heart. The citizens of Memphis have lost an individual that loved Memphis and loved people."
Vidulich's name was in the news recently when he was the spokesman as authorities tried to help a wayward manatee in the Wolf River Harbor.
Martin said Vidulich talked to his wife, a Shelby County Sheriff's Department dispatcher, about 9 p.m. Sunday. Martin said police received a call about a burning vehicle shortly after midnight.
The Shelby County Medical Examiner's Office will conduct an autopsy in hopes of determining more about the event.
Friends of Vidulich came to his house Monday morning. One, Billy Cantrell, said he had seen Vidulich at a convenience story at 8 or 8:30 Sunday night, then talked to him later at a lounge.

Ok guys I played Domination mesmer in the previous game, at quite a high level. (Top 10 guild at one point)
My concern is, while it looks like a fun mage.. it doesnt look like the same domination mesmer that caused so much stress to so many people before.
The satisfaction I got from my mesmer, was that of completely locking down and painfully deconstructing my enemies piece at a time. Interupts, diverted skills, more interupts! Energy drains, sympathetic visage.... The shutdown aspect of the class.
I pray to god its not all, clones and teleports because thats not how a mesmer should be. I struggled to see how they could roll the class into the current AoE-sentric game. This just doesnt look like a mesmer to me, it looks like a pretty battle mage. With a couple of neat tricks.
It might be fun, but its not going to cause frustration like the mesmers of old. Thinking I'll go guardian.
Its not fun unless my enemy is punching his monitor out of frustration!

SAN FRANCISCO — The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored three runs in Clayton Kershaw's three starts against the San Francisco Giants this season. They've scored 31 in his other six starts.
Madison Bumgarner homered off Kershaw and once again outpitched the reigning NL MVP and Cy Young winner, as the Giants shut out the Dodgers for the third straight day, 4-0 Thursday.
The Dodgers have scored a grand total of two runs over their past five games and have been held scoreless for 31 straight innings.
"I actually thought we had some good at-bats throughout the game," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "We felt like we got a lot of guys out there and we made Madison work but we weren't able to get the hits to push across any runs. It was actually not too bad."
San Francisco outscored the Dodgers 10-0 in sweeping the three-game series. The champion Giants have won six in a row overall.
"You don't think you'll come here and not score a run for three games," Mattingly said. "If you're getting good pitches to hit, and you're not chasing anything up there, you're having good at bats."
Kershaw acknowledged being a little bit frustrated but said he could have pitched better.
"I didn't feel like I had the best stuff," he said. "I just tried to make it work. I got some outs. That last inning got away from me, which was really tough. Pitch against a guy like that, and one or two runs are valuable."
This was the third time this season that Bumgarner, the current World Series MVP, had started against Kershaw — the Giants have won all three.
Bumgarner became the first pitcher to homer off Kershaw (2-3). The Giants' star connected for his seventh career home run, hitting a solo shot into the left field bleachers in the third.
Last year, Bumgarner hit four home runs, including two grand slams. He had managed just one single in 17 at-bats this year going into the game.
"The Giants beat us, plain and simple," Los Angeles catcher A.J. Ellis said. "They played better. We have to regroup. This is not the way Dodgers play. We're going home and we play better there."
The Dodgers are 4-5 in games started by Kershaw this season after losing just four of his 27 starts last year.
"I'm sure he's frustrated," Mattingly said. "He's pitching good enough to win but we don't get him enough runs. It's frustrating for all of us."
The Giants have won all six games between the teams at AT&T Park this year, matching their longest home winning streak against Los Angeles in 41 years.
Kershaw allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks in 7 1-3 innings. He has a 4.32 ERA this year.
Kershaw lost for the third time in 13 starts in San Francisco. He entered the game with a career 0.97 ERA at the Giants' park.
"Clayton was under control the whole game," Ellis said. "He did a nice job piecing his way through the game. He really cruised."
Mattingly said it was a matter of continuing to produce solid at-bats.
"We just have to continue to do what we're doing," he said. "The runs will come. I'm still not worried. We're not going to panic and we're going to be fine. We hit a little stretch and we're still in good position."
Dodgers: LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu underwent surgery on his left shoulder and will not pitch the rest of the season. Manager Don Mattingly said the surgery "went as well as could be expected." He also expects Ryu to be ready to pitch again by spring training.
Dodgers: RHP Zack Greinke (5-1, 1.52) will start Friday against the San Diego Padres. Greinke is coming off his first loss but the Padres are a perfect foil for him. He's 5-0 with a 1.58 ERA in nine career starts against them. He's allowed one earned run in 13 innings against the Padres this year.

Yet, she's got a cigar in her mouth, she's got stubble on her face and she's in a pair of work boots. Nineteenth century cowboys make fun of Wilde in the bottom left corner, shooting their pistols and drinking up a storm. A Western shantytown hovers in the top left corner, and a purple and pink fairy kisses a lionized portrait of Wilde on the right. This painting is yet more evidence of Williams' mad skills and creativity.
I love the paintings of cars piled on top of each other by Michael Knowlton. I suppose it's evidence that this movement doesn't take itself too seriously. Along similar lines, I also like Dustin Shuler's sculpture, 1/8-scale maquette and 1989 photo of "The Spindle," a stack of eight cars impaled on a 50-foot-tall spike.
Disney Studios is represented by three images. One circa 1937 image that prominently features a Nazi swastika on a drum is a little quizzical. Why was it included in this show? I don't quite see the connection with "Kustom Kulture."
As I mentioned before, this show is dominated by the male gaze, and includes plenty of examples of men's fantasies and fetishizations of women's bodies and body parts. The only obvious exception is a small enclave of Margaret Keane paintings and works inspired by Keane's signature large-eyed portraits.
All three of Keane's portraits are emotionally rich and quite good. There are definite connections between Keane and anime. However, I doubt that "her amazing eyes are commonly accepted as the influence that almost single-handedly created anime," as the exhibit claims.
Anime is a style that developed in Japan in the 1960s and didn't become popular in the West until the 1980s. Osamu Tezuka, creator of Astro Boy, is largely credited as the "godfather of anime." He, in turn, found inspiration from Betty Boop, Mickey Mouse and Disney's "Bambi." So, to claim that Keane's influence "almost single-handedly created anime" is a bit of a stretch that discounts an entire nation's cultural activity and artistic legacy.
Back to the show, the Keane-influenced paintings are also well done, particularly those by Enzia Farrell, Vicki Berndt and SAS Christian, whose "Love Child" (2002) and "Space Sugar" (2004) are rare examples of African American female empowerment.
Mark Ryden has contributed a nice "Girl color study" from 2006, clearly taking inspiration from Keane. However, Keith Weesner's "Heathen's Refuge," a 2012 acrylic on wood that depicts a sexy, topless woman straddling a motorcycle and another nude female lying on a bed in the background reminds us of the objectifying male perspective and seems a bit out of place in this enclave.
Rietveld's mixed media "Road Queen" (2005) typifies "Kustom Kulture II" in many ways. First, it's a captivating, very well executed painting, with symbols of car, tiki and skateboarding culture surrounding a six-armed woman.
Second, it, like many other pieces in the show, incorporates some elements of objectification and exploitation: a shapely young woman wears a checkered flag bikini, holds lucky charms and shows off intriguing tattoos on her body.
Finally, her six arms are unmistakably positioned as those of a Hindu goddess, giving this work spiritual and religious connotations. So, even though this Rietveld painting shares some of the male-centric characteristics of other works in the show, it is also quite religious and deep, if you examine it for a while.
"Kustom Kulture II" is full of fetishes, obsessing over and glorifying materials and symbols associated with surfing, skateboarding, motorcycles and hot rods. The objectification and eroticization of women is also part of that world.
This large group show could benefit from a checklist or a catalog, like its predecessor had. (Apparently, a catalog is in the works.) Despite its imperfections, "KKII" is still an intriguing, engaging show that's worth checking out.
