Random Harvest
1942 Directed by Mervyn LeRoy
He had found love - lost it - and now had found it again!
An amnesiac World War I vet falls in love with a music hall star, only to suffer an accident which restores his original memories but erases his post-War life.

**Part of the Best Picture Project**
I feel bad for saying this, because it's an otherwise well made film, but Random Harvest is quite boring, mainly due to how dated the film is, and just how empty it manages to be.
Which is a shame because the story, while nonsense, is a good one. Ronald Coleman plays a WWI soldier with amnesia who doesn't remember his past and ends up falling in love with a woman played by Greer Garson. He then is in an accident that causes him to forget his current life but remember his old past war life.
Part of what makes the film good is the performances by the ever reliable Ronald Coleman and the charming…
A proof that (authentic) melodrama and the concomitant spectatorial affect, typically a recognition that is really an anamnesis, is always a formal pattern and that the Platonic strain in classical Hollywood (some Ford, Borzage, Peter Ibbetson, McCarey) filmmaking was structural avant la lettre!
Simply too emotional to handle.
It was after the film was over that I started to realize that it was full of it. But, hey, it works. I was happy. Somehow, I was transported. I bought the whole thing for 125 minutes and only grasped its abandon afterward.
Absolute codswallop, but wonderful nonetheless. It's 1918, and "John Smith" (played by Ronald Colman) has been confined to an asylum as he is suffering from amnesia which started whilst he was serving in the trenches. When the war ends he wanders out of the asylum and meets Paula (played by Greer Garson). They fall in love, marry and have a child. Some years later "Smithy" is involved in an accident which restores his memory up to the point at which he originally lost it, with a blank thereafter - he is actually Charles, a wealthy industrialist. Will Charles ever remember his wife, and his love for her?
Unlikely to say the least, but done brilliantly!
Yes, the plot of this movie is quite ridiculous. But Greer Garson and Ronald Colman are both very good and manage to elevate the material a bit so the film never becomes overly sappy. Colman is excellent particularly in the first part of the film where his character is somewhat shellshocked. Garson takes over in the second half, playing her part with an underlying sadness that makes you feel for her and want everything to work out in the end.

Simply too emotional to handle.
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This is one of the most sweetest, and definitely saddest movies I have ever seen. No doubt. Its one of my new favorites. Stories of amnesia always tear me up inside. Greer Garson was especially beautiful in this, like outstandingly beautiful. I was so worried the ending wasn't going to turn out the way I wanted it. BUT IT DID AND I CRIED SO MUCH.
A proof that (authentic) melodrama and the concomitant spectatorial affect, typically a recognition that is really an anamnesis, is always a formal pattern and that the Platonic strain in classical Hollywood (some Ford, Borzage, Peter Ibbetson, McCarey) filmmaking was structural avant la lettre!
This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I adore these glorious tragic romances! Right after World War I, an amnesiac soldier meets a music hall performer. She helps him recover, and they fall in love and marry. While away on a trip, he is struck by a car and recovers his original memories, but no longer remembers his wife. Years pass and he rebuilds his life. She tracks him down, but hesitates in telling him about their former relationship. Will he remember their love? So suspenseful!
I was surprised at how much I liked this film. It's so rare to to see a movie that spans almost 20 years. The performances were so moving, it made me overlook the soap opera-y plot. Colman and Garson are pretty much playing 3 characters each, yet they have to make you believe that they are all part of the same person. Amazing!
A wee bit confusing, if you ask me...and it had nothing to do with the Pineapple martinis we were drinking!
Almost, but not quite, overcomes a very ridiculous melodrama plot. Really drags when Greer Garson is out of the picture. About half-an-hour too long.
Random Harvest comes just shy of truly being something special, and the script is entirely to blame. I'm not familiar with the novel, so it may be a problem with that too, but years pass and little indication is made of it. That's the biggest problem with the film. We watch the characters age (sort of?) and we sort of age with them, but much of the development of the story and the characters is left offscreen.
Fortunately, the direction and the performances are executed with such passion that the film mostly works. Mervyn LeRoy's directorial hand maintains an impressive amount of symbiosis between the beginning of the film and the ending, even though it very nearly becomes an entirely…

Fake Fire Inspection Letters With Ex-Mayor Jim Hahn's Name on Them go Out to Residents: LAPD Says Burglars Are at Work
These would-be criminals are so dumb they don't know the name of the mayor of L.A.
At least one would-be victim was smart enough to alert authorities: The LAPD last night warned residents that wannabe burglars are sending fake letters on city letterhead saying that fire inspectors needed to check out their homes.
The problem with the otherwise official-looking documents:
They contained the names of former Mayor James K. Hahn and former LAFD Chief William Bamattre.
And, also, they sucked. As in (of course), these guys can't write. The inspections would be ...
... Regarding all hazardous material, mold and a detailed fire inspection.
... We are conducting this inspection specially if there is children and seniors in homes to provide them a healthy and safe environment.
We're disappointed. We thought, with the economy the way it is, more burglars would be educated.
Cops were informed of the letter by an alert Pacoima resident Wednesday. They think the scammers might be targeting the elderly.
They fear there might be actual "inspection" victims and want anyone who has been hit by these geniuses to call police at 818-834-3115.

so i just had one little sip of my coffee while visiting my nieces, when my telephone rang.... "school" it said. it was 11 am. they are out on 12.15. i immediately knew again something was wrong.
it was Ruben's teacher. she told me he fell, hurt his arm, but didn't want to move it anymore and was in pain.... i told her i was a 20 minute drive away, but would send his father right away. called his father who jumped on his bike to Ruben right away. i flew out of the house into my car. remembering myself while trying not to STEP ON THAT FRIGGING GAS PEDAL if i would be there 5 minutes later that it would be no problem at all. he was alive. it was 'only his arm' this time.... but my goodness all i wanted to do is speed like hell trough traffic. i didn't. i was nervous and tried to focus on my breathing and the radio. i knew it wasn't too bad and i just had to trust it would be all okay.
when i turned around the corner of school, i saw Arjan walking with Ruben already holding his arm. i knew right away, that must be broken. we went to the doctors who helped us right away. (it's only 1 minute walk from school).
he asked Ruben what happened. he fell backwards and hurt his arm (wrist). the dr. knows Rubens history and decided he had to go to hospital right away, and immediately notified the x-ray ladies we were coming.
luckely they have stripbooks at the waiting room in the hospital. x-rays were made and they told us already his arm was broken. Ruben got real nervous, afraid for surgery. we needed to see the surgeon, but it was kinda busy. so we waited just another hour.
the surgeon came in and told us he broke his wrist, but in a 'good' way. no surgery was needed. Ruben yelled very loud "HALLELUJAH!!". he was so relieved he didn't need any surgery!
i've been told this is a "greenstick" break.
so hop, off to the plasterroom
and there he goes. another limb in plaster....
this was heavy plaster and he had to wear this sling a week. a week after that he would receive "lighter" plaster.
so the relaxing started :). he joked at the plaster room, that this was his third time (at 3 his left arm, at 5 his right thigh-bone and now at 8 his right wrist). he told her that he only needed to break his left leg and he would have quartet.... come on dude!! stop already!
so sis cancelled her date for that afternoon so she could play with him. she's the most amazing sweet big sis you can imagine. ok, sometimes not so, haha, but she really took care of him again!
friends came to check him out :)
his bestie came to join him. you can still game with one arm you know!
soccer with a tennisball with a broken wrist in a sling? no problem at all! happily giving mom a heart attack...
and after that week, he got himself some new shiny plaster. this woman was incredible good with him. noticed his history (they great us, we are VIP'ers now :D), and really respected his fear and at the same time helped him over it!
he was soooo nervous for removing the plaster, but after she did that in a blink of an eye, he started talking and talking and talking. all the build up excitement was coming out by talking like crazy. she let him and helped him. new experience for me :)
there goes the tough cookie.
yup. tree (or stump :) climbing is part of the deal again!
and with his bestie last week on a schooltrip. look at them. their bond is amazing.
and this morning he was aloud to get rid of his plaster himself! so 1 week 'hard plaster' and 10 days of this and all is well again! wow, those bones grow quickly together huh?!
so it felt a little bit strange today with his arm "free", but he uses it more and more. it comes naturally. i will contact my physical therapist so he can have some excercises to strengthen the mustle around his wrist again. he'll be just fine again!
and i can relax again......
so it's been a crazy 3 weeks but we are back on track again :).
life is good. even if you break your bones a bit too many times....
so happy with my new batch of pilot telephone cases. a new supplier because my old one was freaking me out. when i'm a customer, i expect customer service. i'm not a difficult person (seriously, aks my kids, whahaha), but when i ask something i need to feel heared and taken seriously. if i got that icky feeling i'm being somebody's burden, well than i simply go look for another supplier.
and my new found supplier knows his stuff. makes me feel like "wanted" as a customer. checks in, asks how the products are, and if everything goes as planned. gives advice. is genuinely interested. that's my kinda company. i'm an entrepeneur for 15 years now, and my customers need to feel welcome, heard and lovely taken care of. i know the drill.
i've ordered new cases for Samsung 5 and 6 and Iphone 5 and 6 and will upload them as soon as the pictures are taken and all that stuff that needs to be done before a product is in the shop. man, that is much! maybe i should periscope about that process behind the scenes right?! are you on periscope yet? you can find me @revlie and my gosh it's addicting! best new app around!
i've heard that Samsung 4 and 5 Mini is very popular too, i will order some of these cuties too, pinky promise.
on the agenda today: it's gonna be HOT in the Netherlands today. like seriously crazy hot, rain & thunder will push that humid hotness away tonight. cannot wait for that to happen actually! and i've one very important meeting in the afternoon. got my high heels on and all. wish me luck :)

i've lived in fear for so many years. it really kept me under his spell. i also know it had everything to do with my childhood. living in fear for about 12 years for every single day of your life, is kinda killing. it wasn't strange at all that i had build up many many fears since then.
but i'm also a fighter. and a survivor. i have always been determined to get myself out of the bad situation, (i did at 16) and i was always fighting for my own happiness. it took me years, and it is since last year (hello, just before turning 40!!!) that i finally did fight those fears with success! i've been fighting fears like:
- afraid in the dark;
- afraid to be home alone;
- afraid in crowded spaces;
- afraid to fly;
- afraid to drive my car alone in the city, especially in the dark;
- afraid to walk in the woods, especially by myself;
- afraid to go past places i felt horrible because something happened their in my childhood, bad vibe memories;
- afraid to men approaching me in public places;
- afraid to use public service like busses are trains;
- many anxiety's for my kids like playing outside by themselves etc.
and it took me years and years and years to overcome all those fears. but i fought against it. for years and years. tried many therapies. tried to hide it for my children. but hey, like they are stupid huh? once i was in a small playground with Ruben when Sanne was in school. i think he was about 3 years old. i suddenly heard a noise behind me. i was convinced a man was in the bushes trying to kidnap me and kill me.... my heart was racing, i had sweaty palms and i reacted instinctively. within seconds i packed up the stroller, i grabbed Ruben from the slide and walked firmly away from the playground. i looked back. there was that man. but he was just unloading his groceries from his parked car....
so my mind played tricks with me for years. once i even left the grocery store, because a man was behind me when i picked some apples. i left a full cart. i was convinced he had a knife and was about to kill me. when i fled and looked back i saw he was just picking apples. i was simply in front of him, and he was waiting his turn. but my mind convinced me otherwise. and that was real sheer fear for me. i've felt those fears for years and years.
i've learned in many therapies that my brain really worked that way. i was always in flight-mode. always in fear mode. always ready to run. and that for 20+ years....
abusers never ever have a clue what they put their victims through. not only the ordeal itself for 12 long years, but after. you'll live in a strange world after for so many years. lucky for me i am a fighter and managed to get through all these strange situations. but living peacefully was not easy at all.
and i've tried to raise Sanne & Ruben without fear. it mostly damaged and hurt myself. sitting all fired up on the couch watching hysterically out of the window to see where they were playing when first playing outside. feeling sick to my stomach when i couldn't see them anywhere, the relief i felt when they suddenly popped up, on their bike just enjoying playing outside. i'm 100% sure they never noticed that, because i LET them free. be outside. and play. but it was so harmful for me.
and now, after my last therapy end 2013, beginning 2014 (EMDR) i'm finally feeling 100% ME. fought those fears, worked so insanely hard to get over them. i know that is possible. i had many of them, as you can read, but i also had the power to leave them. they are no longer a part of me, and i'm so freaking proud of that.
so although i had many fears, i never ever ever let those fears decide my future. i was scared but moved ahead anyway. and since 2014 i can say: HALLELUJAH. look at me now.
life is good. fight those fears. remember, you are not alone. you may ALWAYS email me <3.
ps the new video Revlie, being an entrepeneur is not forgotten!! it will be up later this week and it's gonna be a great one, promise :)

Former Oklahoma defensive end Ronnell Lewis was taken by the Lions with their only pick in the fourth round. / Ty Russell/Special to the Free Press
Defense, defense and more defense.
That might not have been the strategy, though after last season's January meltdown no one would have complained if it was. But that's how things worked out Saturday as the Lions made three trades and spent all five of their Day 3 draft picks on help for a neglected defense.
"You're reading too much into it to say that we're focusing on it," coach Jim Schwartz said. "Just get good players that you have a role for, that fit your philosophy. That's the focus. It's not defense or offense or any particular position."
Maybe not, but the happiest person in the Lions' draft room Saturday had to be defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham.
• Related: More NFL draft coverage
After ignoring premium defensive talent in the free-agent market and failing to acquire any blue-chip prospects for that side of the ball in the first two rounds, the Lions took two corners, two linebackers and a pass rusher Saturday, trading up to get linebacker Tahir Whitehead and cornerback Chris Greenwood and nabbing defensive end Ronnell Lewis after trading down.
Including third-round corner Bill Bentley, the Lions, who gave up 90 points and more than 900 yards passing in their final two games, used their final six picks on defensive players.
None comes to Detroit as a ready-made superstar, but most should have roles as rookies, either in the defensive rotation or on special teams.
"We drafted them, doesn't do anything other than drafting them," Schwartz said. "They have to play well in preseason and training camp, and they have to prove their draft status. It adds more guys to the roster and creates competition and things like that.
"But we're excited. I don't want to minimize how excited we are about those guys. We are."
In a perfect world, the Lions would have been able to trade up Thursday and land one of the top defensive backs in the draft. Morris Claiborne never was going to get within reach, and when Mark Barron and Stephon Gilmore crept into the top 10, the price to move up became too steep for the Lions.
Instead, they settled for the draft's second-best offensive tackle prospect Riley Reiff at pick No. 23 and surprised just about everyone when they passed on several promising defensive players in Round 2 for receiver Ryan Broyles.
Broyles eventually might prove to be the right choice. He had a great career at Oklahoma, where he set the NCAA record for receptions, is polished on and off the field and has an immediate role as a slot receiver.
But he's also five months removed from surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and the Lions already have a wealth of playmakers in the passing game.
Ultimately, this draft will be judged a few years from now on whether Reiff has a better career than guard David DeCastro, who was taken 24th overall by the Steelers, or defensive end Whitney Mercilus, who went 26th to the Texans, and whether Broyles and Bentley are more productive than some of the corners the Lions passed on, including Trumaine Johnson and Josh Robinson.
But because the late rounds are about quantity as much as anything, the Lions have a chance to unearth some gems in Ronnell Lewis and Greenwood, an athletic cornerback from Albion who Cunningham compared to one of his finds in Kansas City, former Grand Valley State star Brandon Carr.
"When you get to (the late) part of the draft people have targets, people have guys who they don't want to miss out on," Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said. "Chris Greenwood was that kind of player for us."
Schwartz said the Lions accomplished what they wanted in the draft.
"Stuck to our plan, got some good players," he said.
Some will disagree, but that's what draft season's all about.
"I always laugh a little bit when you get graded a day after the draft and the guys grading you have generally never seen half the players," Schwartz said. "I think a lot of that stuff's overblown. We have a system, we have a philosophy, and we're sticking to it. And you see those results down the road, you don't necessarily feel them the next day.
"I think if you're grading a draft the next day you're in the wrong business. But we're very excited to get the players that we have."

Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes
I made Chocolate Pumpkins Cupcakes for dessert at my mom's weekly Tuesday night dinner. I've had the fall bug since school started and wanted to try this Country Living recipe. I'm more of a Blueprint girl, NOT Country Living, but while waiting in the Albuquerque, NM airport the cover caught my eye and I thought I could make cupcakes from this recipe!
i like the sound of that combo! Were they as tasty as they look?
they were! The pumpkin flavor was not strong. My non-pumpkin eating daughter ate two!! I made them again today for a dinner party.

It should probably count for something that we never see warp streaks from the window of a shuttle, due to this being too difficult to achieve by affordable VFX or SFX techniques, until VOY comes along.
In TOS, that might not tell us anything much. But in TNG, explicitly warp-capable shuttles might still be assumed to be in impulse transit when the view from their portholes or windshields shows them to be at what impulse normally looks like.
Well, most backstage sources suggest the Type-7 shuttlecraft is equipped with a warp core to power those nacelles, so if it isn't warp capable it must be pretty damn fast.

Tag: Interview
Derek Pyle Discusses Waywords and Meansigns, an Unabridged Musical Adaptation of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake
I recently talked to Derek Pyle about his project Waywords and Meansigns, which adapts James Joyce's novel Finnegans Wake into a new musical audiobook. Derek worked for years as half of Jubilation Press. Printing the poems of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Thich Nhat Hanh, and William Stafford, Derek's letterpress work can be found in the special collections of the New York Public Library, Brown University, and the Book Club of California. Derek co-founded Waywords and Meansigns in 2014 and became the project's primary director in 2015. While living part-time in Western Massachusetts, Derek produces Waywords and Meansigns in eastern Canada.
Biblioklept: What is Waywords and Meansigns?
Derek Pyle: Waywords and Meansigns is a collaborative music project recreating James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Seventeen different musicians from all around world have each taken a chapter of Finnegans Wake and set it to music, thereby creating an unabridged audio version of Finnegans Wake.
Finnegans Wake is an incredible book, but it's notoriously difficult to read. One hope of the project is to create a version of the Wake that is accessible to newcomers — people can just listen to and enjoy the music. To maximize accessibility, we are distributing all the audio freely via our website. But the project does not only appeal to Wake newcomers — as we've seen so far, a lot of scholars and devoted readers are also finding Waywords and Meansigns an exciting way of interpreting and engaging with Joyce's text.
Biblioklept: How did the project come about?
DP: In 2014 I organized a party to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the publication of Finnegans Wake. To celebrate we decided to listen to Patrick Healy's audiobook recording of Finnegans Wake, which is 20-odd hours long. The party, as you can imagine, lasted all weekend — we actually listened to Johnny Cash's unabridged reading of the New Testament that weekend too. There was very little sleep, and fair amount of absinthe.
A lot of people really rag on Healy's recording, because it's read at breakneck speed. I actually like it though — he creates a very visceral flood of experience, which is one way of reading, or interpreting, Finnegans Wake. But during the party I started wondering about other ways you could perform the text, and that's when I came up with the idea of approaching musicians to create a new kind of audiobook.
As it turns out, a lot of people seemed to think my idea was a good one. We've had no shortage of musicians willing to contribute, including some really cool cats like Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth and bassist Mike Watt, who currently plays in Iggy Pop's band The Stooges.
Biblioklept: Watt rules! I love the Minutemen and his solo stuff. He seems like a natural fit for this kind of project, as so much of his music is based around story telling. I imagine the musicians involved are composing the music themselves…are they also recording it themselves?
DP: Yeah, it's very cool to have Watt on board. Turns out he's a huge fan of Joyce — he recorded a track for Fire Records in 2008, for an album of various musicians turning the poems of Joyce's Chamber Music into songs. Mary Lorson, of the bands Saint Low and Madder Rose, also played on that Fire Records album, and she's collaborating with author Brian Hall for our project.
To answer your question, yes, all the musicians are recording their own chapters. Since we have contributors from all around the world — from Berlin to Amsterdam to British Columbia — it would be a logistical nightmare to figure out where and when to record everyone. Not to mention the cost of it. One of the really cool things, I think, about this project — for everyone, it's a labor of love. No one is making a profit, off any of this. People are just doing it because they love Joyce, or they're obsessed with Finnegans Wake, or it just seems like a fun challenge to think creatively in this unique way. Either way it's a pursuit of passion. That's why we will distribute all the audio freely. There's this phrase in Finnegans Wake, "Here Comes Everybody!" We're having fun with Finnegans Wake and everybody is invited to the party.

Do I explain myself? | Gerald Murnane interviewed at 3:AM Magazine
At 3:AM Magazine, Tristan Foster has interviewed Gerald Murnane. The interview is wonderfully prickly: "The question arouses a mild resentfulness in me," Murnane replies at one point, before claiming a few lines later that "My sentences are the best-shaped of any sentences written by any writer of fiction in the English language during my lifetime." A clip:
3:AM: I hesitate to ask you about your place in Australian literature both because it's a discussion of categories and because you have directly or indirectly credited your influences as being almost wholly outside of it: Marcel Proust and Emily Brontë and Henry James. That said, I do feel somewhat obliged – you are Australian, you have never lived anywhere else and your writing is published into this country's book market. Is your place in Australian literature something you think about?
GM: Flemington racecourse has a straight-six track. Certain races are run there over a straight course of twelve hundred metres, or six furlongs as we once called it. Sometimes, if the field is large, a group of horses will follow the inside rail while another group follows the outer rail, perhaps thirty metres away. Each group, of course, has its own leaders and pursuers and tail-enders. Sometimes, the outside group numbers only a few while the inside group comprises most of the field. The watchers in the grandstands, near the winning-post, are often unable to tell which group is in front of the other. The watchers are almost head-on to the field, and only when the leaders reach the last few hundred metres can they, the watchers, line up the two different groups, as the expression has it. If I try to compare myself with my contemporaries, I usually see us all as a field of horses coming down the straight-six course at Flemington. Most of us are over on the rails. I'm on my own coming down the outside fence. At different times, one or another of the bunch on the rails shows out far ahead of the others. Being on my own, I can't be compared with any nearby rival, but I seem to be going well. Do I explain myself? In thirty years from now, we may know the finishing order. By that time, my archives may have become available to the public – a whole new body of my writing to be taken account of.
Categories are bad news (Barry Hannah)
WT: Do you read magazines?
BH: If someone would rave about a story in the New Yorker, I'll read it. But you get a lot of that Woody Allen–New Yorker–Hamptons fiction. My [students] have to send off to the little magazines. I get the sense that only grad students read those.
WT: Writer's writers?
BH: I don't like that term, because I wouldn't buy somebody's album on a dare if they called him a musician's musician. I don't write to be a writer's writer. I don't want to be like the little-magazine writer. I don't want to be that.
Categories are bad news. Being Southern will just kill you sometimes. It's not always a graceful adjective. Sometimes it means, don't bother because it's gonna be [sings a lick from dueling banjos]. It's gonna be: porch, banjo, Negroes. There's a canned dream of the South that a lot of people get into, and I've resisted that stuff my entire so-called career. Ready-made Southernism just disgusts me, just makes me nauseated. I mean, you can't see a movie without hearing that goddamned slide guitar. Shit, I'm just so tired of it.
From Barry Hannah's interview with Wells Tower in The Believer.
"I would really like to try to do some good in the world" (William T. Vollmann)
I don't know why it was so strange to hear William T. Vollmann's voice on NPR as I drove into work this morning. Maybe because I have Vollmann on the brain (I've been in the middle of a long email interview with the editors of the recent volume William T. Vollmann: A Critical Companion). Or maybe it's just that it seems so rare these days to hear the opinions of a novelist given a platform on popular media. Still weird though (even though I heard Vollmann on the radio last year too). Anyway, he was on NPR this morning, speaking to David Greene about his forthcoming article on the aftermath of the Fukushima meltdown in next month's Harper's. From their disucssion:
David Greene: William Vollmann, I'm just curious. The last time we spoke we talked about how the FBI thought you might be the Unabomber. You've traveled with mujahideen, you've smoked crack with prostitutes in California. I mean you have a certain style your reporting where you want to be in the middle of something so to speak and here you're exposing yourself to radiation. What drives you?
William Vollmann: Well, one time read an E.O. Wilson book about the ants—
DG: E.O. Wilson—you're talking about the famous Harvard naturalist and professor right?
WV: That's right, yeah. He says that it's common in ant colonies for the older female ants to take more and more risks. They've already reproduced, and if they don't come back it's no real loss to the ant colony. And I'm an older person, I'm 55, I've reproduced, I'm going to die in any event, so I have less to fear. And I would really like to try to do some good in the world before I die, and you know, if I get cancer as a result it's no real loss. The more I see of the disasters that nuclear power can cause, the more I think, I would really like to describe this and help people share my alarm.

Cat Cora's Classics with a Twist: Fresh Takes on Favorite Dishesby Cat Cora
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
On the wildly popular show Iron Chef America, Cat Cora uses her instincts to transform random ingredients into exciting creations on a momentand#8217;s notice. In this book, she turns her eye to some of our most popular dishes to make them faster, fresher, and lighter. These are the swift meals that Cat relies on when she comes home from work to cook for her own family: Greek-Style Nachos, Grilled Chili-Lime Flank Steak Soft Tacos, Crispy Baked Fish Stix with Mustard Dipping Sauce, Quick Chicken Curry with Peas, and Sour-Cherry-Filled Chocolate Cupcakes.
In dishes like Baked and#8220;Friedand#8221; Calamari with Marinara Dipping Sauce and Tex-Mex Tuna Casserole, Cat puts a new spin on old favorites. She updates others, tossing chipotle-spiced croutons into a Caesar salad, or replacing the usual beef in stroganoff with chicken and adding fresh tarragon. Each recipe illustrates Catand#8217;s motto: just because a dish is a classic doesnand#8217;t mean it canand#8217;t be improved upon.
"Cora, known best as the sweet and savvy female Iron Chef (Food Network), has jumped on the 'fresh and fast' bandwagon with an impressive collection of popular favorites, tweaked and stylized for the modern, health-conscious cook. Easily identifiable recipes like Chili and Minestrone are infused with Cora's signature zesty flair (think grated ginger, pesto and sweet paprika), and she certainly proves she's got a lot to offer. Avoiding the pitfalls of the quick and easy genre, Cora serves up original combinations like Curried Orange Lentil Soup, Grilled Avocado Cobb Salad, and Lemongrass Coq Au Vin. Disappointingly, she ambles from one region to another with little coherence, following Italian Bucatini Amatriciana with Chicken Curry, which leaves the reader wondering where they're headed. A bit more direction would help readers navigate the Twists of her Classics. However, readers will easily identify with Cora's laid back, family-style approach to cooking, and find effective and valuable tips throughout. Over 70 full-color photos add style and remind the reader that casual trumps extravagant in Cora's kitchen. Her book will appeal to the home cook who wants to break from the monotony of the weeknight meal. Photos." Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)

Product description
These sumptuous new hardback editions mark the 70th anniversary of Fitzgerald's death. Their eyes 'met and tangled. For an instant they made love as no one ever dares to do after. Their glance was slower than an embrace, more urgent than a call'. A novel of the glittering decadence of Hollywood in its heyday, this was Fitzgerald's last work and he died without completing it. The novel's tragic tycoon hero is Stahr. Caught in the crossfire of his own effortless cynicism and his silent, secret vulnerability, Stahr inhabits a world dominated by business, alcohol and promiscuity. If there is a moral or social necessity to film-making in this West Coast never-never land, Stahr does not always believe in it. If there is love he does not always see it. The sharpness of Fitzgerald's prose, the steely simplicity of his style, give a cutting edge to this study of Hollywood in the thirties, from which Fitzgerald draws a painfully bitter-sweet love affair and bids his own poignant farewell to the Great American Dream.

Author information
F. Scott Fizgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota, and went to Princeton University, which he left in 1917 to join the army. He was said to have epitomized the Jazz Age, which he himself defined as 'a generation grown up to find all Gods dead, all wars fought, all faiths in man shaken'. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their traumatic marriage and her subsequent breakdowns became the leading influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work). Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.

Moorland ponies are an integral part of the Dartmoor landscape. In addition to drawing in visitors, they play a vital role in grazing the moor and maintaining its character. But in recent years, their numbers have been in decline.
The Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust (Registered Charity No. 1109196) was established in 2005 in response to widespread concern about the viability and long-term survival of the traditional Dartmoor pony. We are based at Bovey Tracey, Dartmoor where we operate a purpose-built, all-weather visitor and education centre.

Outrage at eating Dartmoor Ponies
This week we have seen the Dartmoor Hill Pony Association say that they are planning to market Dartmoor pony meat to the public, as a way of solving the problem of too many foals on Dartmoor. This is an appalling situation. It is highly unlikely to be a success with the majority of non-horsemeat-eating British public. But above all, will eating Dartmoor ponies really provide a sound economic future for the Dartmoor Pony on Dartmoor? A far better solution is reducing the number of foals br [Read more]

Two people died Thursday, Oct. 8, following a sweat lodge ceremony at Angel Valley Retreat Center located down Forest Road 525B between Sedona and Page Springs.
Verde Valley Fire District personnel were called to the scene at 5:19 p.m. Crews found several victims who had been involved in sweat lodge ceremony. Approximately 48 people participated in the ceremony that lasted over two hours, according to VVFD reports.
Initially, four patients were flown to Flagstaff Medical Center and six more were taken to Verde Valley Medical Center, in Cottonwood. In total, 21 people were evacuated to area medical centers, the reports stated.
A middle aged man and woman who were taken to VVMC were pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Their names have not yet been released pending notification of next of kin, the reports stated.
At least one victim remains in critical condition.
Yavapai County Sheriff's Office deputies arrived at 10:27 p.m. and began conducting a full investigation. Deputies were still on the scene Friday, Oct. 9.
YCSO Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Section will determine the exact causes of death and other injuries. Detectives are also obtaining a search warrant for other buildings on the site.
The victims had been inside a "sweatbox" structure on the north side of the property. The sweat lodge was dome shaped and covered in tarps and blankets. Hot rocks and water are used to create a steam inside the closed structure, according to YCSO.
Owners of the retreat center told VVFD personnel that the center was rented out and being used by an outside agent, according to reports.
The retreat center is located south of Hwy. 89A along Oak Creek, west of Sedona and east of Page Springs.

I know that the new age culture is a huge part of the Sedona economy, but when is something going to be done about all of these "guru's", "shamans", and "enlightened ones" who are in our town doing many things that can be considered borderline illegal. Have any of you ever gone looking to see what is really going on in the Sedona new age community? I know the RRN did a series a while back about the cults and groups operating here and let me tell you they have gone nowhere. In fact they are increasing rapidly. Until someone does something to regulate these groups things like this will continue to happen. Group operating permits, inspections on the sites where the activities take place (although this death lodge was taken down almost immediately after it happened-where is the crime scene containment Sedona PD?) and regulations on when and where these can take place need to be implemented. Look around the internet and see how many of these new age leaders are using Sedona for their training and some say brain washing grounds. Try the Rick Ross site for starters. http://forum.rickross.com/read.php?4,30230,77469#msg-77469
Apparently this isnt the first person to die at one of his events this year. http://forum.rickross.com/read.php?12,77450,page=4

And here is a transcript of a phone call he made that includes this comment "This, I think, is the worst part of the entire conference call. Barb is one of James Ray's staff members and she goes on to talk "of the two that had passed and they left their bodies during the ceremony and had so much fun they chose not to come back and that was their choice that they made." This is going to be really hard for James Ray and his people to explain when the autopsy results are released, because people do not cook themselves to death. They just don't."

He had to make that appointment in San Diego didn't he. Cant leave money lying on the table when there is brainwashing to do.
