The Promised Land (Ziemia obiecana, Poland 1975)
This Andrzej Wajda film is an adaptation of a novel by the Nobel Prize-winning author Władysław Stanisław Reymont (1867 – 1925). The original Polish cinema release was nearly three hours long with a four hour version for television. This was restored in Poland in 2011 and was shown at the Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds as part of the Martin Scorsese presentation of classic Polish films currently touring in the UK. I'm surprised at how few cinemas are showing these films so I'm grateful to get the chance to see some of them at the Hyde Park. My knowledge of Polish history is not as good as it should be and I had to check out Wikipedia to learn a few important things about the subject matter of The Promised Land. I wish some of the reviewers elsewhere had done the same and then they wouldn't have made some of the misleading statements that have possibly damaged Wajda's reputation after his work on the film. The novel's title refers to the city of Łódź which after 1815, when it was made part of the Russian 'Kingdom of Poland', developed as an industrial city and attracted immigrants from all over Europe. Łódź grew as a textile centre and in the latter half of the nineteenth century was sometimes known as the 'Manchester of Poland' as it was cotton mills that powered its prosperity. The enormous influx of workers for the mills created an unusual population mix in which the local Polish population was matched by large numbers of Germans, many of whom were Jewish. From these two groups came many of the mill-owners and the bankers who supported them during the rapid growth (and financial downturns) of the period. The film's narrative focuses on three young men. Karol is the son of an aristocratic Polish family in decline. He is employed as the Chief Engineer/factory manager of a mill owned by a despotic German. Max is German and the son of a mill owner who is still operating a handloom mill in the 1880s. He is not as ruthless as the other owners and his business is doomed because of his honourable stance. Moryc is a Jewish 'middleman' who operates in the futures market (cotton comes into the region via Hamburg and Trieste). Together the three "have nothing – the perfect place to start" and they set out to find money and to develop a new factory using every trick that they can think of. This includes sex, espionage and deception. Given its subject matter and literary source there is an assumption perhaps that this will be something like the literary adaptions of British or French cinema but the vitality of the film made me think more of 1970s/80s Hollywood. Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate (1980) shares some of the sense of unbridled capitalist excess. Others have suggested Bertolucci's 1900 (1976). There is a long sequence in the opera house that reminded me of Visconti's Senso (1954). I was amazed by the sheer energy of the film and the way in which the narrative raced along. I'm usually very adept at reading subtitles but for the first half hour I felt I was running to catch up. Wajda used three cinematographers and certainly gave them plenty to do. The camera moves swiftly, often from a low angle and using wide angle lenses so that the characters appear to be crowding around the camera and the audience is immersed in the hustle and bustle. There is also a busy orchestral score and sumptuous production design – I'm assuming that the mills we see are those still standing in Łódź (although the textile business has now largely disappeared). I'm not sure how to describe the film. It is certainly a melodrama but it is also a satire. In a strange way it echoes some of the scenes in Thackeray's Vanity Fair, although the scenes in the pleasure gardens are rather more explicit than 19th century British literature was able to suggest. Much of the time the satire is buried in the detailed plotting but Wajda exaggerates some scenes to make them grotesque, including two explicit scenes of accidents in the mills. At the end of the film when the 'education' of the three principals in the ways of industrial capitalism is complete, Wajda 'flash' cuts scenes of worker's resistance with the celebrations of the mill-owners and the critique of capitalist exploitation is explicit. The Promised Land is a major global film but it was criticised, especially in the US for being anti-capitalist – as if Wajda was somehow 'toadying' to the Russians. Others have pointed out that the film appeared as Polish worker's resistance was building towards the birth of Solidarity. The film was also criticised for being anti-semitic. I don't think this charge stands as the narrative critiques the behaviour of the young men and the mill owners whether they are Polish, Protestant German or German Jews. There is a Region 2 DVD of The Promised Land from Second Run and a Polish Blu-ray with EST. In the YouTube clip below is a scene (virtually without dialogue) in which we see Karol's aged father and his fiancée arriving in the city to live close to the new factory being built by the central trio. The music here seems to be influenced by the kind of score used by Ennio Morricone in Once Upon a Time in the West.
Glasgow FF15 #12: A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence (En duva satt på en gren och funderade på tillvaron, Swe/Nor/Fra/Ger 2014)
This was one of the first films on my booking list. Roy Andersson won the Golden Lion at Venice in 2014 for this, only his fifth feature in a career that began in 1970. I enjoyed his previous film You, the Living (2007) very much and hoped for something similar but also different. 'Pigeon' is referred to as the third in a loose trilogy so it is indeed similar and at first I was a little disappointed because the overall idea and the approach – several short comic scenes knitted together by a handful of characters – are identical to the earlier film (and I suspect to the first in the series, Songs From the Second Floor (2000) which I haven't seen).
It wasn't until a few days later when I studied Andersson's excellent website for the film, watched the trailer and flicked through the stills that I began to remember more of the sketches and to understand more of what he was getting at. The strange title refers to the painting by Pieter Bruegel, 'Hunters in the Snow' (1565), and the three birds sat on branches in the tree in the foreground. This famous painting has been referenced by other filmmakers, including Andrei Tarkovsky. Andersson suggests that the birds take a panoramic view of human activities and the human condition – and that they are astonished that humans cannot see the coming apocalypse. Andersson shares their view and intends that we should be aware that we could change our behaviour and avert the tragedy for ourselves and the planet.
In order to present the pigeon's view, Andersson selects a distinct aesthetic, moving away from realism and naturalism and drawing on 'Neue Sachlichkeit' – the 'New Objectivity' art movement of Weimar Germany in the 1920s. He's referring to both fine art and photography and in his notes he refers to a particular photograph by August Sander, entitled 'The Pastry Chef' (1928) in which the subject looks "trapped, aggressive and dangerous". So, in his vignettes looking at the lives of 'ordinary people' in Sweden, Andersson sets out to tell little stories, some tragic, some sad, some pathetic. His chosen approach involves using painted sets with reduced colour palettes and using his company of 'ordinary-looking' actors with pale make-up. His camera usually remains static and keeps its distance from the actors so the vignettes play out in tableaux – often with a great deal going on in the background.
Some of the vignettes are historical such as the one represented in the image above which refers to (I think) the young king Charles II in the Great Northern War of the early 18th century in which the Swedish Empire took on the Russians – please correct me if I've got this wrong. The bar is a popular location for Andersson since people go there to drown their sorrows and to seek solace with strangers.
The main linking device between the vignettes id the sad progress of the two travelling salesmen. If you look carefully you'll see them in the image of the bar above – one of them is wearing the 'Uncle One-Tooth Mask', one of their 'bestsellers'.
I remember some very darkly comic moments in Andersson's previous film. One included a man eating from a large box of popcorn as he watched an execution in a prison. This new film has two very disturbing scenes featuring animal cruelty and the hideousness of (British) colonial barbarism. I confess to being puzzled as to exactly what Andersson intended these to say – but perhaps I'm expecting too much in terms of clarity.
Overall this is a wonderful film because of its use of film language as well as offering both comic relief and piercing commentary. Oh, and I mustn't forget the music. I loved 'Limping Lotte's Bar' in 1943.
The trailer from the Roy Andersson website:
Concerning Violence, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, USA, 2014.
The Leeds International Festival Catalogue describes this as an 'essay film, rather than a documentary. This places the film in that cinematic discourse best represented by the masterworks of Chris Marker. Like those it offers a studied ambiguity that can and should stimulate the viewer's thoughts as well as their emotions. It combines recently discovered archive footage covering wars of decolonisation in Africa from the 1960s through to the 1990s accompanied by quotation from Franz Fanon's seminal work, The Wretched of the Earth. What follows is a short response to a complex film and I plan to return with a longer engagement on the Third Cinema Revisited Blog.
The film is divided into 'Nine scenes from the anti-imperialist self-defence'. In the course of the film we see many sequences of the white settlers in various occupied territories, mainly lording it over the oppressed and exploited black natives. We also see various conflicts between National Liberation Movements and the colonial armies. There is extensive coverage of the struggles in what has become Angola. Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
Each sequence also presents quotations from the Fanon's book. This provides comment, analysis and ironic counterpoint to the comments of the white settlers, the colonial military, and the predominantly western journalist covering events. There are also extensive interviews with and comments by black natives, including those involved in the armed struggle. Refreshingly there is much screen space given to women, both as part of the exploited indigenous people but also as participants in the armed struggle.
Notably we also hear readings from the writings of Amilcar Cabral [Guinea Bissau] and an interview with Tomas Sankara [Burkino Faso]. There is also an interview with Robert Mugabe from the early days after the ZANU-PF victory. Whilst there are many male voices on the soundtrack the frequent quotations are read by an Afro-American woman, Lauryn Hill.
Most of the footage was shot in 1.37:1, some in colour, and some in black and white. But the opening and closing sequences are in 1.85:1 and the footage in the older ratio is on a DCP, letter-boxed within this frame. There is also extensive use of music, both diegetic and non-diegetic. Unfortunately, [as in common in foreign language documentary] the songs are generally not translated in subtitles. There are a number of scenes of violence and horrific wounds: also of colonial atrocities.
The Director, Göran Hugo Olsson, is quoted in the Catalogue:
When you see these films today you are struck by how biased they were, and how the filmmakers were totally lost in their political views. The use of older archive material reveals perspectives and prejudices that are clear, enabling viewers to see beyond them.
I was impressed by the film. The selection of material, and especially the way that it is edited into a coherent and very effective arguments is finely done. It works well both as a film and as propaganda [expressing complex ideas supporting the movement]. One caveat that I had was that the film has added an introduction by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, a writer regularly included in anthologies of 'post-colonial' writings: [neo-colonial would be more accurate]. She places the work of Franz Fanon with a short biopic of his life and work. She correctly rejects the notion that he popularised support for violence: the colonized must, of necessity, use violence because of 'the absolute non-response' of the colonisers.
She also makes the point that Fanon's ideas, many of them developed in the historic liberation struggle by the Algerians against the French occupation, need developing in the present day and situation. However I think she offers only a partial account of Fanon's politics in The Wretched of the Earth. Moreover, I think her opening remarks offer a reading of the film which is not borne out. She comments on gender and appears to suggest that 'violence against women' is committed both by the colonial movement and the anti-colonial movements. But the film depicts armed women who state, "We are on the same level as men." The film does undercut some of Fanon's reliance on male nouns and adjectives when passages are read over images of armed women fighters. But also note that he writes:
In an under-developed country every effort is made to mobilize men and women as quickly as possible; it must guard against the danger of perpetuating feudal tradition which holds sacred the superiority of the masculine element over the feminine. Women will have exactly the same place as men, not in the clauses of the constitution but in the life of every day: in the factory, at school and in the parliament.
And both images and quotations undercut the values expanded by the colonialists.
I think Spivak also overlooks the centrality of class in Fanon's work. But this seems to me something that is at least underdeveloped in the film, especially in the Conclusion where we hear Fanon's maxims for the future of the anti-colonial, anti-imperialist revolution. Fanon writes about the class forces in play after the end of direct occupation: a quotation from these comments would have made sense of the situation of Mugabe and Zimbabwe.
The quotations from Fanon are brief, mainly single sentences. Some the context of his position is often lost. This is the case when the film makes the point that the colonised black people use violence against their own: but Fanon is writing about the situation of the native under colonialism and before the development of an anti-colonial consciousness. One hopes that the film will stimulate viewers to read Fanon's book – though I fear many may believe they have been provided with a sufficient grasp of his thought. The film's title and focus is on one aspect of Fanon's book, violence: this is where The Wretched of the Earth commences, but it goes a long way beyond this.
Even so this is a film that is unlikely to leave you unmoved and should certainly stimulate you. The audience at the Hyde Park Picture House showed their response with applause at the film's end. This is definitely a film to see. It is getting a UK distribution [probably limited] by Dogwoof. I hoped to see it again, and did, [see http://thirdcinema.wordpress.com/2014/12/16/concerning-violence-with-a-q-a/].
Pride (UK 2014)
Pride is a remarkable film in several ways. Its narrative is conventional (based on a true story). It isn't aesthetically interesting but it does two things very well. One is to provide its audience with high quality ensemble performances, some by well-known and celebrated UK actors, some by relative newcomers, all of which are well-judged and represent very effectively an array of characters, each of whom gets enough screen time to act as an identifiable 'hero' for part of the audience. In this way a broad audience can identify with the central narrative because of their attachment to one or more characters. This is no mean feat for a film dealing with arguably the most divisive period of modern British history.
The second great success of the film, at least to my mind, is that it deals with political ideas in a way that is inclusive, but at the same time is quite precise in analysing specific issues. OK, it is conventional, it uses familiar types and it does carry a large element of nostalgia and romance about very difficult times, but I think it manages to achieve the holy grail of 'serious fun'. In doing so it raises a number of questions that need exploring.
The 'true story' here is that a number of activists in London branded themselves as 'Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners' (LGSM) in June 1984. They then randomly chose a community in South Wales as the recipients of the money they raised. This was not easy as NUM officials and strike committees were suspicious and reluctant to engage with LGBT groups. The resulting link-up was in the end a success, but not without trials and tribulations as well as downright opposition from individuals within the mining community. The strike ended in defeat, the eventual near-collapse of the mining industry and severe hardship for the mining communities themselves. But the film doesn't end there. I won't spoil the real ending.
The other horror of 1984-5 to go with the scores of police in transit vans and on horseback confronting striking miners was the spread of HIV and AIDS associated at this point with 'unsafe sex', especially within the gay community, and represented in public health advertising on TV by images of an iceberg lurking in dark waters. In 1984 gays and miners alike needed all the help they could get in the face of Thatcher's attacks on 'the enemy within' as she branded them. The disappointment is that it's taken 30 years to put these kinds of alliances on the screen. The current 'Con-Dem' government in the UK is now worse in many ways in its attacks on working people, even if so far it hasn't resorted to Thatcher's outright violence. Instead it has allowed the rich to get richer while penalising the poor – the kind of mutual support shown in Pride is even more valuable now.
Pride has taken off slowly in the UK despite a wide release. It made number 3 in the UK chart, but the screen averages were disappointing (for the weekend – it did OK in midweek when older people go to the cinema). Everyone I know who has seen it, raves about how much they enjoyed it. It should have the legs to grow a substantial audience over the next few weeks (only dropping 11% after the first week). Perhaps some audiences have been put off by the idea that it is about something from long ago. For many younger audiences the actual struggles will be something they know little about, but this shouldn't stop engagement with the characters. It's noticeable that the right-wing press in the UK have given the film 5 star ratings (Daily Mail, Telegraph etc.) even though the film explicitly attacks the ideologies they support. Significantly, they have also likened the film to The Full Monty and Billy Elliot – likeable popular films but films which denigrate traditional male working class culture and the political struggles of the 1980s and early 1990s. Pride is much more akin to Brassed Off which represented the anger created by the attacks of Thatcherism and Made in Dagenham that celebrated the political activism of women workers. Both Pride and Brassed Off represent the historical importance of the politicisation of the women of the mining communities, though Pride does so much more positively.
The screenwriter and director were both new to me. Because I don't follow theatre I was not aware of Matthew Warchus who has had a stellar career as a stage director. It's interesting that in aesthetic terms Pride is not particularly 'theatrical' in terms of lighting and mise en scène. This is only Warchus' second feature and I liked the way he focused on the ensemble acting performances, the great dialogue scenes and the use of music. There are several interesting interviews with the pair, e.g. this one in Empire magazine. Writer Stephen Beresford tells us that the idea for the film arose in the mid-1990s during the second and final round of pit closures and, echoing a scene in Pride, Beresford had answered a call to support the miners with a "what have they ever done for us [gay men]?" kind of comment . . . and then somebody told him the true story. But it took more than 10 years to get the film into production because it seemed to break too many rules. It didn't have a single hero, it had a lot of politics etc. It's worth reading the interviews to get a full sense of just how conservative the UK film production community is.
The film doesn't analyse the causes of the strike or the politics behind it, but what it does do is to focus on the idea of solidarity and mutual support, of committing to a cause and not forgetting who are your comrades and who is the enemy. The two other outcomes/'tie-ins' for the film are the music and the associated news and feature stories. The music includes a host of 1980s club classics but also three great songs of solidarity, 'Solidarity Forever' by Pete Seeger, 'There Is Power in a Union' Billy Bragg and a spine-tingling rendition of 'Bread and Roses' by Bronwen Lewis. A soundtrack album adds more 1980s songs and is likely to prove very popular. See the film's website for details. Meanwhile, the true story is circulating via various press features like this one in the Observer about Mark Ashton played by the American Ben Schnetzer (beware spoilers about what happened to the historical figure).
Go and see it – you won't be disappointed. Here's a 'making of' featurette to introduce the film to US audiences (opens 26 September):

RAPIST: Daniel Borgers, 41
/ News
A RAPIST from North Yorkshire who carried out a knifepoint sex attack on a woman after she had been to church can be named today.
Daniel Borgers, 41, pulled the woman, in her 40s at the time, off the street and down an alleyway before he subjected her to a horrific ordeal on waste ground in Stotfold, Bedfordshire, in October 1992.
He was arrested last year after a DNA sample he gave when arrested for a minor offence in Yorkshire matched one obtained from the rape scene, which had been put on the national database when it was launched in 1995.
Loading article content
Judge Richard Foster, who jailed Borgers, of Napier Crescent, Scarborough, for seven-and-a-half years last Friday, today overturned a restriction barring his identification for legal reasons.
Borgers was jailed at Luton Crown Court, where he hung his head and sobbed in the dock when it was disclosed he told the devout Christian woman: "Don't make any noise or I will slit your throat," several times during the ordeal, which lasted more than five minutes and left her bloodied and bruised.
Judge Foster told him: "I can think of no greater violation of a fellow human being than what you did to that lady on that Sunday evening.
"This rape took five minutes. That is a long attack. Five minutes must have seemed an eternity."
Speaking after the hearing, detective inspector Liz Mead, from the Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire major crime unit, said the victim was pleased with the sentence.
"For the victim, this is the day she has waited for for 20 years," she said.
"She has close friends and family and she has her faith, that is how she has come to terms with it."

Borgers had pleaded guilty to a charge of rape at an earlier hearing.
His victim was in court to watch him being jailed last week.
The court heard he grabbed her from behind and put his hand over her face to muffle her screams for help.
He dragged the woman to a quiet spot before raping her, even asking her if she was enjoying it.
The court heard that she became frightened he would kill her afterwards.
"I became extremely frightened, wondering what he would do to get away," she said in a statement read to the court.
Then he said 'don't make any noise or I will slit your throat'. But instead of further injuring or killing her he ran off into the darkness.
Timothy Clark, defending Borgers, said his client had been going through a difficult phase of his life at the time he committed the rape, using drugs and alcohol and coping with difficulties in his parents marriage.
"At the time he was abusing drugs and alcohol," he said.
"But since then people who know him and know what he was accused of, and his admissions, speak highly of him.
"There is deep shame and remorse. My client knows he is to be punished and in fact he welcomes it.
"There have been 20 years which my client has had to think about what he did. He is now a different man."
But Judge Foster criticised Borgers for claiming he felt remorse but only pleading guilty when the case came to court, offering no comment when interviewed by police after his arrest.
"The remorse of 20 years might have been better demonstrated by a full and frank admission at that stage," the judge said.

commercial property for rent or lease in Ransom (PA), Industrial Space For Lease.
Ransom commercial real estate for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Ransom industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Ransom shops. Locate a Ransom warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Most companies have a business plan which encompasses a companys real estate requirements. Ransom commercial lease options should be considered for the foreseeable future and as such business leaders should attempt to anticipate the future expansion, if any, of the business. Its worth considering that when presented with the initial lease this will represent the ideal situation for the landlord. If details are not addressed prior to signing then issues that may arise may lead to unforeseen difficulties in the future.
While leasing may be short term, less risky, and less expensive than purchasing commercial real estate, signing a lease is still a binding and legal document. Seek legal advice before beginning your search for real estate, an experienced attorney in real estate law can help you to avoid signing a contract that may be signing you up for un-necessary expenses and liability that could potential harm business. If you lack time to scout and negotiate contract terms, a broker may be a worthy asset to use.
Your long term business plan and Ransom real estate commitment should be aligned as most real estate leases and investments are long in duration. Business leaders need to anticipate future growth and requirements of the business to be positioned for the best and worst possible scenarios. Define the space you need and make sure the area can be designed to incorporate all your requirements. Will the layout satisfy employee expectations and will any possible employee relocation, or commute, to a new Ransom venue be achieved to everyones satisfaction. Consider proximity to facilities and amenities such as Ransom shopping, health care, childcare, etc.

VIDEO: PBS Presents DOWNTON ABBEY - 'Best of Sybil & Tom' Montage
Following the shocking and sorrowful events of last week's episode of DOWNTON ABBEY, PBS presents a montage of the the most sweet, tender and moving moments featuring Sybil and Tom. Check it out below and be sure to have plenty of kleenex handy!
About DOWNTON ABBEY:
The much-loved cast of Downton Abbey Season 3 includes Maggie Smith, Elizabeth McGovern, Hugh Bonneville, Dan Stevens, Michelle Dockery, Jim Carter, Penelope Wilton, and a host of others. Written and created by Julian Fellowes, Downton Abbey, Season 3 marks the return of one of television's most beloved and anticipated drama series to Masterpiece on PBS.
Downton Abbey has weathered the war, and the prospect of an impending wedding for Mary and Matthew brings great anticipation, as well as Cora's mother from America, Martha Levinson. New World and Old World are about to clash as Martha tests tradition at Downton, and the patience of the formidable Lady Violet.
Aside from the sparks upstairs, a very real crisis threatens the foundation and future of Downton. Great houses have been crippled psychologically and financially in the wake of World War I, and Downton may not be exempt. In response, Robert clings decisively to his duty to maintain the home at all costs. But in this changing landscape, nothing is assured, and even the Crawleys may be faced with a new battle to safeguard their beloved Downton.
Amidst sweeping social change, budding romances and surprising betrayals, Downton Abbey returns with a riveting third season starring Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Shirley MacLaine and the rest of stellar cast in the award-winning series from Julian Fellowes.

Pediatrician anti-nuclear advocate Helen Caldicott will answer your questions at Google Hangout
Born in Melbourne, Australia in 1938, Dr Caldicott received her medical degree from the University of Adelaide Medical School in 1961. She founded the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at the Adelaide Children's Hospital in 1975 and subsequently was an instructor in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and on the staff of the Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, Mass., until 1980 when she resigned to work full time on the prevention of nuclear war. In 1971, Dr Caldicott played a major role in Australia's opposition to French atmospheric nuclear testing in the Pacific; in 1975 she worked with the Australian trade unions to educate their members about the medical dangers of the nuclear fuel cycle, with particular reference to uranium mining. While living in the United States from 1977 to 1986, she co-founded the Physicians for Social Responsibility. She also founded the Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament(WAND) in the US in 1980. Dr Caldicott has received many prizes and awards for her work, including the Lannan Foundation's 2003 Prize for Cultural Freedom and 21 honorary doctoral degrees, and she was personally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Linus Pauling – himself a Nobel Laureate. The Smithsonian has named Dr Caldicott as one of the most influential women of the 20th Century. She has written for numerous publications and has authored seven books. Dr. Caldicott's two most recent books are the revised and updated If You Love This Planet (March 2009) and Loving This Planet, The New Press 2012. Dr Caldicott currently divides her time between Australia and the US where she lectures widely. She founded the US-based Nuclear Policy Research Institute (NPRI), which evolved into Beyond Nuclear. Currently, Dr Caldicott is President of The Helen Caldicott Foundation/NuclearFreePlanet.org, an educational outreach project that informs people of the dangers of nuclear power and weapons.
Come and ask Helen Caldicott, who the Smithsonian calls one of the most influential women of the 20th century at a Google+ Hangout.
It's happening on Tuesday, November 5, at 13:00 GMT.
In one of her recent articles on RT.com, Helen Caldicott wrote:
"As I contemplate the future at Fukushima, it seems that the escape of radiation is virtually unstoppable. The levels of radiation in buildings 1, 2 and 3 are now so high that no human can enter or get close to the molten cores. It will therefore be impossible to remove these cores for hundreds of years if ever."
She believes that one of the steps Japanese government should take to prevent worst case consequences is to cancel the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Join the conversation and learn more about her take on nuclear energy issues.

Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Title: Is there a variety of bluebonnet called black gumbo
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I live in Grimes County, Texas on the eastern edge of the Blackland Prairie. A few years ago my hillside of Bluebonnet seed was harvested. I was told it was a rare 'black gumbo' variety of bluebonnet. Is there such a variety?
Well, Mr. Smarty Plants can show you articles about bluebonnets of different colors, but we haven't heard of a "black gumbo" variety of bluebonnet. Who told you this? Do you think, perhaps, they were 'pulling your leg' because the soil in the area where the bluebonnet seeds were collected can turn into a 'black gumbo' after rains?
Only Lupinus subcarnosus (Texas bluebonnet or sandyland bluebonnet) and Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet or buffalo clover) occur in or near Grimes County. Here are more pictures of L. subcarnosus and L. texensis. In general, L. texensis is more widespread than L. subcarnosus and is usually the one seeded along highways. However, L. subcarnosus was the only species designated as the State Flower in 1901. In 1971, all six Lupinus spp. that occur in Texas (L. subcarnosus, L. texensis, Lupinus concinnus (bajada lupine), Lupinus havardii (Big Bend bluebonnet), Lupinus perennis (sundial lupine), and Lupinus plattensis (Nebraska lupine)) were proclaimed to be the State Flower of Texas.

What are the personality characteristics of criminals? Is there a cancer-prone personality? And do extroverts have better sex than neurotics? Looking at the role of personality in several spheres of life, from crime to consumption, and health to education, 'Personality and Social Behaviour' examines how personality is related to everyday social behaviour.
Taking a topic-led rather than theory-based approach, the authors provide a comprehensive, critical and accessible account of the role of individual personality in everyday life. Each chapter examines the personality variables which affect particular social behaviour, and the text as a whole reviews and integrates the findings of contemporary research literature.
Topics covered: health; learning; ideology; relationships; crime; creativity; humour; work; leisure; consumption.

So I took a little vacation lately from my story-telling life. Something happens when you get out of the 20s, work intensely in your day job and...
This may be a good time to let you into a little tidbit that I've been trying to keep fairly quiet for quite some time now. Not hiding it, exactly, but not throwing it around, in case it fell apart and I would be forced to expose myself as some type of fraud: I haven't been single for nearly three years.
Now, if you take a peek at some of my older posts, you may have noticed a second person creep up in my stories - whether talking about enjoying comic book movies or an overly flirty waitress. Posts were never exactly about him or us (but rather the lesson I learned) although he knew I'd write about him every so often. Truthfully, I didn't know if he -- or we -- would make good content. Or, that I would be able to do it justice.
But time passed, we stayed together and two things happened: (1) I continued to make many mistakes and (2) I amassed many, many more stories and lessons, very different than what I shared before. After all, I wouldn't be my anecdotal, analytical self if I weren't trying to make sense of the mess and rationalize it all.
With this one post, I'll break my silence and share a few painfully hard-hitting truths I've had to cope with being in a long-term relationship like this one. I cite these having done an unscientific self-assessment of my own feelings. But, I also find it essential to add a bit of balance to discussions on relationships, no matter how optimistic I may be. Maybe this is in part fueled by what happens when you hit the three year mark, as some studies point out.
First, the Novelty Does Indeed Wear Off: When we started, I wanted nothing more than to spend time with Sav, learn all I could... After all, shouldn't all relationships end up like a bad rom-com, complete with a Tuesday night on the couch, wrapped in each other's arms? Yeah... No. On the contrary, I would say that as the relationship progressed, and we were seeing each other daily, it was still nice but not quite as exciting. Something about the mystery fades when you're seen in your comfy sweats, oversized sweatshirt and glasses.
Second... You Don't Have To Be Marriage Bound: I would say that about a year in, as I saw my friends with engagement rings, then wedding rings and kids, I started to wonder if my relationship would be headed there. Would I be getting married? Now, I've written about weddings on several occasions, but that's in large part because I was also obsessed with it. Now, though, as we've had a chance to be together and my career has taken shape and I've changed, I've started to wonder not only whether I wanted to be married, but I didn't mind taking my time to make sure this person was "the one." Simply put, I wanted to take my time figuring that out and I didn't want a time frame to help me make that choice.
You Need YOU Time: Yes, we have a partner in life. That's all fine and well. But there still should be a small piece of you that you can feel is special to you and that you can own. Do you read? Keep reading a couple of chapters on the commute to work. Is there a corny show you like to indulge in? Do it. Coffee plans with a friend? Keep the catch up session. It's natural, because of life, to get distracted from many of the things we used to do. However, it's important to still hold on to something.
Finally... Not All Endings are Happy Ones: Yes, this sounds morbid. But it really isn't. I've known many relationships that have moved on to marriage after several years. And, I've known others that have completely fallen apart, too. Here, you just need to know what works for you. Is this person the right one? Are you happy? Is this a momentary thing? This is a tough one, but knowing where you stand will really help you learn as much as you can. Every relationship can teach you something so don't forget to learn about that person... And yourself.
Now that I've taken all this away... The only thing I can do (and my one commitment to myself) is to make sure I remember it every day and stay true to myself.
I'll let you know how that all goes.

Kelis makes music out of food
Music is becoming a side dish to her love of the kitchen, yet Kelis recently released her best album yet. Its title? Food.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Kelis dropped one of the year's most celebrated R&B albums back in April in the form of her sixth (and arguably best) LP, Food, yet her commitment to music as a career remains standoffish at best.
It's not that she doesn't enjoy making music, of course; it's the all-consuming nature of the music business that she finds distasteful. For, you see, Kelis (née Rogers) has other interests, chief among them . . . well . . . food. She's a Cordon Bleu-credentialed saucier with a cookbook and a Cooking Channel special already under her belt and her own line of sauces dubbed Feast on the way later this summer. Increasingly, music is becoming a side dish to Kelis's love of the kitchen, not to mention the demands of single-parenting a wee sprout named Knight, the 4-year-old offspring of her mid-2000s relationship with ex-husband Nas.
Frankly, it would be a shame if Kelis gave up music for good, as she's contemplated in the past, because she's had an unpredictable and thoroughly intriguing 15-year run. From the Neptunes-abetted swagger of calling-card singles like "Caught Out Here," Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Got Your Money" and the mighty "Milkshake" to the full-on dive into dance music represented by 2010's David Guetta-produced Flesh Tone to the classicist classiness of Food, she's consistently kept us guessing as to her next move.
The Star recently rang the Harlem native up at home in New York in anticipation of her performance Wednesday night at the Hoxton.
I do like that I never have any idea what's coming from you anymore, album to album. Is that by design?
Yeah, I think. As it should be. I also think I give myself enough time between each record to sort of be a different person. Life happens and you grow and then, when you start to make another record, you don't have to think about being different because you are different.
You've struck a very nice balance between timeless R&B qualities and modern technology on the new album. Was that sort of the plan going in?
It's funny, a lot of people say that so I'm actually very happy because I feel like I've succeeded in doing what I set out to do. I wanted to make a record that sounded like me now. That was sort of my grand plan. I just wanted to make something that I could sing for a long time, which is what came out.
Dave Sitek (of TV on the Radio) would never strike me as an obvious choice of producer for a Kelis record, but from the sound of Food this was a really fruitful creative partnership.
It was. I love him. He's great. We met through my manager and we started working not too long after and originally the plan was just to record a song or two and see what happened. Next thing you know, we were just writing and writing and writing and I didn't want to leave and he didn't want me to go. It was great. He's just honest. And he won't do everything. He's not one of those guys who'll, like, chase a track. He's like: "If I don't like it, I'm not doing it." Which I love. He's super-talented. He's also old enough to be smart and wise and he's a genuine human being and musician, and I think that's what always takes precedence for him over the business of music.
I've heard rumblings in the past that you've thought about giving up music. Is this true?
I don't like the music business. I'm grateful for it, I'm blessed by it daily and I am very, very grateful. But I don't love the business of it. It's very hard to take something that's supposed to be genuine and heartfelt and make a business out of it. It's that kind of catch-22 because you have to do it, but it's hard. I'm someone who, once I've done something and I've succeeded to even half the point that I thought I would, I'm kind of like: 'What am I doing?' I don't think I'll ever stop making music but I don't know that I'll always do it to this capacity. I'm living my life and doing stuff and when I have something to say, I'll say it . . . I enjoy all of it to a degree. I do enjoy it. But it's just one of those things where when you're doing it you don't have time for anything else, you know?
Speaking of, I hear you're a bit of a whiz in the kitchen.
Yes, I am. Everything sauce, pretty much. I love sauce. I do all kinds of different ones. It's just fun. It's exciting. I do all kinds of different flavours and things, and I've got a sauce line called Feast that I'm launching this summer. So that's pretty cool. It's fun.

*LeToya Luckett, one of the original members of Destiny's Child members, is still doing her thing. Over the years she's released two solo albums and even stepped into the acting scene with her role in "The Preacher's Kid" and a recurring role on HBO's "Treme."
Now she's back in action with a big role in a new inspirational drama, "From the Rough."
In an interview with Essence, the multitalented woman talked about the new flick and her future in music.
"It stars Taraji P. Henson, Michael Clark Duncan, and Tom Felton of 'Harry Potter.' It's a true story about Coach Starks, the first — not just African-American — but female to coach a men's golf team," she said. "Before Coach Starks became the golf coach, she was the swim coach for [Texas State University]. My character Stacey was one of her students and I fall in love with Tom Felton's character. This isn't necessarily something that Coach Starks wants. So I'm kind of torn between the two people — the one that I love and the one that I look up to.
She also dished that a new album is in the making. This time it'll be a little different, more soulful, and more real.
Check out the full interview here.
