Haitian home-cooking at Kendall's Le Lambi

An old TWA travel brochure depicting the air route linking Cuba, Puerto Rico and Haiti —the Caribbean "golden triangle" of the 1930s, '40s and '50s — is among the memorabilia you'll see at Le Lambi Restaurant. Named for a famous nightclub outside Port-au-Prince, it has become a gathering spot for the Haitian community in Kendall.
Lambi is a Creole term of Taino Indian origin meaning conch, a symbol of Haiti. The marine gastropod that tastes like clam crossed with abalone is served here in dishes that reflect the mish-mash of French, African and Spanish influences on Haitian cuisine. Scored conch is grilled, chopped and served in a hot, smoky salad with spicy vinaigrette. Conch is also stewed in a tangy tomato base with hot peppers, thyme and garlic.
Haitian meals are traditionally served in two courses: meat and a starch and then congri (rice and beans). Here the choices include griots (simmered and fried pork cubes), deep-fried goat chunks or stewed chicken with two sides (fried plantains, rice or salad). Or get snapper stewed in a spicy citrus sauce.
Folks flock to Fritay Fridays, when platters of fritters make a meal following the custom of buying street snacks for supper when kitchen help was off on Fridays. On Saturday there's blue crab soup thick with vegetables and tubers. Any day, rum cake or sweet potato pie makes a grand finale.
Linda Bladholm's latest book is "Latin and Caribbean Grocery Stores Demystified." She blogs at FoodIndiaCook.com.

SBD/9/Events Attractions
Published January 9, 1998
Tara Lipinski "took a nasty fall to place fourth" in the short program at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships yesterday, according to USA TODAY's Debbie Becker. The next chapter "comes in Saturday night's final event, when the U.S. champion is crowned and three women are named to the Olympic team" (USA TODAY, 1/9). In Boston, John Powers reports that even if Lipinski doesn't finish in the top three, the USFSA's int'l committee "could vote her onto the team based on her results over the past two seasons." But Nicole Bobek, currently in second place, said, "Whoever places what here, they should be sent" (BOSTON GLOBE, 1/9). NOTES: Campbell's spokesperson Kevin Lowery, on the company's decision to feature Lipinski, Kwan and Bobek on soup cans even though the Olympic squad is not yet set and one of the three could be left off the team: "This is our campaign. We would not change it." Lowery said that the three were chosen because of their name recognition, and added, "This is not at all a campaign about who's going to the next level. This is a way to help personify our interest in creating awareness about U.S. figure skating" (Ken Rosenthal, Baltimore SUN, 1/9)....In Philadelphia, Francesca Chapman reports that "women vastly outnumber the men" in attending the skating championships. CBS Sports Producer David Winner estimates figure skating's audience to be about 60% female (DAILY NEWS, 1/9)....USA TODAY's Debbie Becker reports that an Olympic title for Kwan or Lipinski would be worth more than $15M in performance and appearance fees, "particularly if they delay turning professional and compete in the 2002 Olympics" (USA TODAY, 1/9).

Sherri Tippie is our surprise hero of the day. This redhead mama from Denver, Colorado spends her leisure time trapping beavers. Her 9-5 is helping people get their hair did.
'She traps poor, squeaking beavers ... in a mean way?!' you ask. 'She's not a hero ... she's a red eyebrowed devil.'
No, no, don't worry, she traps them in order to take them away from human inhabited areas and put them back into rivers where they won't be messed with.
She also does this all with a great sense of humour and a fantastic red 'fro.
"I am a hairdresser honey. I like HBO, I want a toilet that flushes, okay," Tippie says, explaining that she ain't no normal beaver trapper. "I do not camp out baby... But for some reason when there's wildlife involved, especially beavers, I'm kind of fearless."
Fearless, beaver fearless.
Tippie taught herself how to catch a beav' 28 years ago in order to stop them from being killed on golf courses in her area.
She's dubbed, in a very serious tone by the PBS newscaster, as the 'top live trapper of beavers in North America'.
She goes on to explain why she's so passionate about it: "Beavers are a keystone species to an aquatic eco-system ... if you pull that one stone out it all collapses in on itself."
"We've moved into a place that they should be and we don't want them there. So if we're going to mess around with them we need to treat them as well as possible and put them in a place where they can live out their lives."
Another of our favourite quotes from Tippie? Rivers are "supposed to be curvy like me." Testify!
Some further observations:
1) Beaver lady was smoking hot 28 years ago.
2) Beavers look a lot like capybaras, and so ergo look a lot like Rafael Nadal.
3) Beavers are amazing and humans should leave them alone. Unless, like Tippie, they're trapping them for the sake of freeing them again. Good on her.
4) Please note the t-shirt she's wearing while cutting hair. We can't read it all. But it mentions 'one dam project after another' and has a picture of a beaver and a dam. She's funny, she's brave, she's kind AND she's pun-tastic. Love her.

Friendly staffPosted Jul 17, 2016
Pros: Evening meals at restaurant very good , staff always ready to help
Cons: Breakfast could be a little better organised at peak periods
Location: There was a wide variety of restaurants, including a reasonably priced Italian, which was 10 minutes walk away.
Staff sorted problems that we had very quickly and always had a smile , hotel very clean , poolside staff very attentive , hotel restaurant evening food was of very high standard and very well priced . Hotel was ideally placed for restaurants in the quieter part of Kuta, but a short walk would soon have you in the clubland. The sunsets are fantastic at Kuta , but can be very crowded Sports bar and Italian restaurant attached to hotel were over priced compared to the rest of the restaurants in the area

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia Nov 26 Saudi Crown Prince Salman said he wanted to reassure "everybody" about King Abdullah's health at a cabinet meeting on Monday, more than a week after the monarch had surgery to tighten a ligament in his back, state news agency SPA reported.
The king, believed to be in his late 80s, was admitted for surgery on Nov. 16 and an announcement from the Royal Court said that he had undergone a successful back operation that lasted for 11 hours. No photographs of Abdullah have been released since then.

We stayed at Victoria Palms Resort for two nights in May. The park was easy to maneuver to our space and we were escorted to it by the staff and were offered assistance if needed. Concrete Pad
and patio. All the staff from the registration desk, to the guard at the gated entrance were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return here and recommend it. - Bob_B
Mar 2016 - $7.00
There is nothing to fault here, especially at the special price we found in the FQCC magazine ($200 for the month of March). There is a mix of homes and RV sites, but everything blends in together. Mostly seasonal residents. Our site was large and level, with lemon and grapefruit trees all around. Internet is available either wi-fi or cable. We used the cable with a modem and it was as good as what we have at home. Huge pool with bands playing every few afternoons, as well as every other type of activity your heart might desire. Roads are paved and lined with palm trees. There is a very nice restaurant on site. The park is close to shopping, golfing and dining, and a 30 minute drive from the Mexican border. - Voyageurs
Feb 2016 - $28.00
WiFi & cable TV are included in the rate. Huge variety of activities offered, especially January - March. Dances, many weekly card games, terrific wood working shop, wood carving group, wonderful sewing room. (Bring own machine if doing projects, like making clothes or quilts.) An active group makes hats for cancer patients every Wednesday in the winter season. Stained glass classes are taught in season. Computer classes held in season. Entertainment brought in from Branson, MO., etc. ("Tribute" shows ex. Beatles.) Various types of dance lessons given, dances & special events in large ballroom, etc., etc. There are billards, darts, shuffle board & table tennis groups & tournaments. The pool is great & 2 different water aerobic classes are offered week days in season. During the winter season there were music & snacks poolside one day per week. Holidays are celebrated with special events. One can't be bored here!
Season is between November to the end of March basically for we Winter Texans, but some activities continue year around as there are some permanent residents here also.
Very friendly park with lots to offer. Birding is popular in this part of Texas. There's a National Park close by & various small historical museums in the cities. Good churches in the area. A large Quilt & Creative Arts Show is held in the ballroom every even numbered year. - a winter texan

We spent a week in a 44 ft. motorhome with slide-outs and a tow. Our off-season, weekly rate was $112 plus electric ($23 for the week). This is a very friendly, well-run park. We were there after most of the Winter Texans had already left and there were lots of open spaces. Our site was spacious and we had plenty of room. Our site was grass, but level, and we had a very nice concrete patio. Park management couldn't have been nicer or more friendly. We didn't have time to use it, but the salt-water pool and spa looked very well-maintained. The location is convenient to shopping and all the Valley attractions. We liked it very much and would definitely stay there again. - Carolynp

VIP is a very clean friendly park. There is a beautiful salt water pool, hot tub, shuffleboard, pool hall, 2 club houses, 2 laundries, a craft building and paved streets through out the park. There is also an area with weights etc to work out.
We have been to VIP La Feria several times and plan to go again in the winter. There are many people who spend several months in the winter but people staying a shorter time are always welcomed with friendly faces and open arms. - RSW

Rate is figured on a three month stay. The people are very friendly and there are quite a few activities. The park is past it's prime and they aren't putting any money into it to try to upgrade it. You park on grass and put your truck or car on a concrete pad. The manager won't do anything but walk outside and smoke. That may be her job? Pretty quiet with a short drive to Hwy 83 to get just about anywhere in the valley. Wi-Fi is available in the clubhouse and it is pretty good most of the time. The bathrooms are generally clean but aging. Shade is not really available, there are a few trees but not a lot. - joe the rv'er

Well kept park with lots of activities. Only five pull-throughs I could see for short term stay.

This county park should be identified as being in Arroyo City instead of Rio Hondo. It is a thin 1.5 mile long sliver of a park located at the very end of Route 2925. The park was created by Laguna Atascosa NWR leasing the land to Cameron County to enhance boating and fishing on the river. There is no vehicular or pedestrian access into the refuge from the park; the entrance is 17 miles away. The park is narrow, wide enough to contain RV sites along or near the Arroyo Colorado River (AKA Herlingen Ship Channel), one dead end road right by the RV sites out to the boat launches at the end of the road, and a trail that essentially follows the road. Ten of 35 sites are right on the water, ten more have a buffer that anglers use between the RV sites and the river, and 15 are located away from the water. This is a mult-use park and there's the rub: on weekends the place is heavily used by anglers, boaters, and pick nickers. In spite of reserved signs on the RV sites, we found a group using our reserved site and had to wait for them to pack up and leave. We had to clean up the beer bottle caps and old fishing gear left on the site. There was trash in the brush next to our site, and the bank behind was eroded substantially between us and the river. There appeared to be about 40 or 50 pickups with trailers parked at the boat launches during the day on Sunday and these continuously left the park well into the evening. On weekdays, there were only a few campers in the park, but the anglers started driving through the park promptly at 6:00 am to reach the boat launch. The toilets were stainless steel and lacked toilet seats. The urinal in the men room still had butts in it on Monday morning. The cost shown includes full hookups. There is only one small store in the "city" of Arroyo, and the next nearest store is in Rio Hondo. If we're in the area again, we'd try somewhere else. - Jay Rutherford

My husband called to see if there were any spaces available at the last minute, and the young man said yes. He suggested we "reserve" it so no one would get the site before we drove down there. So we reserved the first night with a credit card. It took us about an hour to get there. When we got there, we paid with a check for the second night. When we arrived, we drove through the park and discovered that it was very crowded and very loud. The spaces were very small and the park itself was very small. We were undeterred as we had read a review that said the view of the dolphins in the arroyo was great. So we wanted to see for ourselves. In addition, we had read favorable reviews of kayaking in the area. When we got to our site, our table was covered with other campers' food and there was a man passed out on the table's bench. We had no desire to "move" these people from our spot, and we had no desire to wake up the man not knowing if he was drunk, so we drove back to the entrance and told the young man that we didn't want to stay. We were very disappointed. The young man said he could go run the man off, but we declined fearing retribution. The young man gave us our check back, but said he didn't know how to give us credit back on our card as he was a new employee. He said we'd have to call the park manager. We did, and he said he'd have to check into it and call us back. We waited and waited and waited, until we finally called him back. He quickly said that we could not have our money back since it was "reserved" and we didn't cancel in time but that we could have a "rain check". So I guess that if you reserve a space within a 24 hour window, you might as well "kiss" your money goodbye even if the site is unusable. I don't think we'll ever see our "rain check" as he made no attempt to tell us how to secure this rain check. - sambass

$10 includes metered electric, our promotional rate for a month was $7/night. Yes its old and developed before RVs got big and heavy. Narrow roads, and smaller grass sites (with a few exceptions) and its flat South Texas, so drainage isn't great. I can see where reviews would definitely be affected by how much moisture there is. We were fortunate in sunny South Texas living up to its name. But its an incredibly friendly park (including staff), and the quantity, quality and diversity of activities is amazing. If you can get beyond the age of the buildings in which activities are housed, most we saw (fitness, sewing, woodshop, stained glass, lapidary, silversmith billiards, etc etc etc) seemed very well equipped and supported by participation, volunteer leaders and management. So a 9 for that.
Now why in the world they aren't putting in concrete slabs faster (or even graveled) I don't know. Its inexpensive and they get a 16% or so premium for the ones they have. I can deal with narrow roads but sinking into dirt is a real problem. So a 5 for the site and 8 overall (no doubt that would have been different if I'd had to put off departure or be towed out). - fulltimer121

Was put in the overflow parking lot because they just had significant rains and the sites are grass. Overflow had full hookups and a paved lot which was nicer than the sites. Stayed 3 nights and will stay again for a overnight . Regular sites pretty narrow with 1 lane roads, you either have to wait or pull off in grass to pass. - 2Happy_Campers
Jan 2013 - $22.00
Park is intended for snowbirds (Winter Texans) and permanent residents. If this is your retirement model or expectation then this park would probably be a great place to stay. Compared with other Encore Parks in the area this park is at best average or less. There are plenty of organized activities for senior adults and most of the facilities appeared to be maintained. Rate reflects Encore discount for 2 weeks. Would definitely not stay at this park again. - Word Up

Large gated rv resort, 3 heated pools, large long level pullthrus, beautiful new event center. This is an awesome place to hang out for the winter. Lots of activities on site, & of course, close proximity to Harlingen, McAllen & 20 minutes to Nuevo Progresso Mexico. Be aware that the wind is fairly strong from time to time (30 mph), so moniter use of your patio awning. Will definitely be back. - Smooth Running

We travel to the Rio Grande Valley for short stays to visit family. We have stayed at several parks. Llano Grande is by far the best park that we have stayed at in the RGV. We stayed on the newer North side which are ownership properties. Sites are in the 75-80 ft pull thru and about 45-50 feet wide with wide level concrete pads and nice grassy areas. Many of the lots have been improved with nice small structures for storage and sitting. A few of the sites have had permanent dwelling installed in lieu of a Motorhome/RV Pad. I would not want to buy a lot for my Motorhome only to find that my neighbor is not another RV/Motorhome but a house. Since we were visiting family we did not take advantage of the many facilities and programs available. Most of the people there are "Winter Texans" escaping the cold. Only recommendation - There is curbside trash pick up twice a week. However there is no where to take trash on off days. Trash facilities for dog pick up would have been helpful. We would recommend Llano Grande and will stay there again. - cmwb

We came here using an $89 for one week coupon from the TACO magazine. To our surprise, we really liked it. It's not real large, but has a very nice indoor pool/hot tub, laundry, and rec hall. Rather than the open grassy parks you see so often in the RGV, this park is set in trees. The manager and people are super friendly. It's conveniently located to go to both ends of the RGV. They honor Passport for 7 days, and there are some great special prices. We would definitely stay here again. - jarand

We stayed in this 55+ park for 4 months and would return. The park was kept very clean both inside all facilities and throughout the park. Free Wi-Fi was available in office and rec room but others who wanted it in their rigs, had to subscribe for service throughout most of the park and people complained about it's reliability. Cable TV also has to be individually subscribed to also. Our only complaint was that because the park is older, the back to back sites were close and when the park got busy in January and February, some campers ended up being parked extremely tight to each other. Close to all shopping and many attractions in the Rio Grand Valley. - PappaDee
Jan 2011 - $15.00
Easy access from I-83. Quiet and clean. Great heated showers, indoor pool and hot tub. Knowledgable staff. Very friendly park. 15 minutes to shopping malls. La Feria is just a quick bike ride away. American Legion is .7 mile south and open to the public. Some shade. Verizon phone, internet and Dish TV worked very well. Great mixture of winter Texans from all over the USA and Canada. Secure park with a closed gate at night. 55+ park. Will put on our "return to" list. Web site is very accurate. - retiredgeezer

Intense Pain[edit]
Pain is an unpleasant feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli, such as stubbing a toe, burning a finger, putting alcohol on a cut, and bumping the "funny bone."
Really? Was this written from the frame of reference of a ten year old? If these are intense or damaging stimuli, how do we classify cancer, or getting a limb shot off? Consider a rewrite please, these are extremely minor pain sensations, not "intense or damaging stimuli", especially since none of the above really causes much in the way of damage. A stubbed toe? THE HORROR... THE HORROR... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 00:04, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for telling this. Could you suggest a rewrite? I think it would be good to include the whole range of pain, from minor pain to intense pain. Lova Falk talk 09:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- I agree they are trivial examples. They represent neuropathic pain (the "tingling" pain from bumping the funny bone) and the three main classes of nociceptive pain (mechanical, thermal and chemical). "Intense" refers to the strength of stimulation required to initiate a pain signal - the threshold intensity - rather than the intensity of pain felt above that threshold. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 23:23, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
I have edited this section and eliminated the trivial examples. Pattkait (talk) 13:11, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Questionable definition of Pain:[edit]
"Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage."
I'm not sure that that all pain translates to "actual or potential tissue damage". There are many forms of excessive stimulus or distress or even extreme discomfort often termed Pain" that is not indicative of damage to tissue. --220.127.116.11 (talk) 02:38, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
- And is it the only opinion we have to comply with and state in the article? IASP may not be wrong, as there are kind of pain damage to tissue? --22.214.171.124 (talk) 13:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- Well, if you can find another authoritative opinion you are free to suggest it here. The IASP definition is not controversial but you might have misunderstood. Pain doesn't cause tissue damage, but it feels like it. JFW | T@lk 19:11, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Soreness is a redirect to this article, but this article even not names soreness. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 13:15, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- There are many synonyms for pain. We can't list them all - this is not a dictionary. JFW | T@lk 19:04, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/08/14 -- Back-to-school shopping is the second largest retail event of the year, only behind holiday shopping. However, businesses are failing to use loyalty programs in order to take full advantage of the $72.5 billion back-to-school shopping opportunity, according to findings from a new study, conducted in June 2014 by payment technologies leader, Merchant Warehouse. The missed back-to-school loyalty opportunity could impact retailers' sales later in the year, too, as consumers admit the stores they shop at for back-to-school items are also top-of-mind for the holiday shopping season.
Merchant Warehouse surveyed more than more than 100 small business owners and managers that sell "back-to-school" items and more than 700 back-to-school shoppers in June 2014. While 85 percent of shoppers noted that they tend to shop at the same retailers year after year for back-to-school, an overwhelming 91 percent noted they are "somewhat likely" (65 percent) or "very likely" (26 percent) to switch their choice of retailer if a promotion or reward applies. Meanwhile, only 34 percent of retailers plan to run loyalty programs for back-to-school shopping this year.
During Back-to-School, Lower Prices Win Consumer Loyalty
Most shoppers surveyed reported they buy items at the same retailers during both the back-to-school and holiday shopping seasons, with 58 percent shopping at a majority (60-100 percent) of the same stores for both. Shoppers indicated that price is more important to them during the back-to-school season when compared with other times of year; 53 percent of consumers list it as their biggest determining factor in where to shop and 66 percent said they are likely to sign up for a retailer's loyalty program during back-to-school shopping if offered a discount at the checkout. In fact, consumers look for these incentives, as 45 percent stated they're more driven to shop at a retailer based on their sales, discounts, or promotions during the back-to-school shopping season versus other times of the year.
Retailers Recognize Back-to-School Loyalty Opportunity, but Fail to Capitalize
A majority, 58 percent, of retailers surveyed believe loyalty campaigns would benefit their business during the back-to-school season, although only 34 percent plan to run a program this year. In fact, 97 percent of retailers that ran back-to-school loyalty campaigns last year had positive experiences and plan to run one again this year. So why are others missing out on this opportunity? The most common reason reported was that loyalty programs have not been beneficial to the business in the past, with 25 percent selecting this response. However, of those conducting loyalty campaigns this back-to-school shopping season, 65 percent are taking advantage of data-tracking and analysis (such as purchase data or demographic information) technology within loyalty programs to boost the benefit to customers specifically interested in purchasing back-to-school items.
"Small businesses are challenged with vast competition in attracting back-to-school shoppers that will directly and positively impact their bottom line," said Jenn Reichenbacher, senior director of corporate marketing, Merchant Warehouse. "It's alarming that so many small business retailers are missing out on valuable loyalty programs that can help them keep existing customers coming back throughout the year and even year after year. Consumers have said that they're willing to be loyal to businesses year-round based on the business' back-to-school offering, presenting a key opportunity for small business owners and managers to employ loyalty programs this year to keep customers coming back through the holiday season and next year as well."
Other Key Findings Include:
- Technology is not holding retailers back: 18 percent of businesses surveyed report they will not run a loyalty campaign during this back-to-school season because their business lacks the required technology resources.
- Most retailers (56 percent) plan to execute loyalty campaigns over email this back-to-school shopping season.
- Retailers are warming up to the mobile opportunity: 24 percent of retailers planning to run back-to-school shopping loyalty campaigns will implement those via a mobile app.
- Consumers ranked plastic loyalty/rewards cards as the most preferred method of redeeming promotions or rewards and paper punch cards as the least preferred method.

The Ruined Map: A Novelby Kobo Abe
View All Available Formats & Editions
Mr. Nemuro, a respected salesman, disappeared over half a year ago, but only now does his alluring yet alcoholic/b>
Of all the great Japanese novelists, Kobe Abe was indubitably the most versatile. With The Ruined Map, he crafted a mesmerizing literary crime novel that combines the narrative suspense of Chandler with the psychological depth of Dostoevsky.
Mr. Nemuro, a respected salesman, disappeared over half a year ago, but only now does his alluring yet alcoholic wife hire a private eye. The nameless detective has but two clues: a photo and a matchbook. With these he embarks upon an ever more puzzling pursuit that leads him into the depths of Tokyo's dangerous underworld, where he begins to lose the boundaries of his own identity. Surreal, fast-paced, and hauntingly dreamlike, Abe's masterly novel delves into the unknowable mysteries of the human mind.
Translated from the Japanese by E. Dale Saunders.

"I'd rather be dead than brazen," Mrs. Beasley tells her husband when he pleads for "relief" in "Intimate Relations." We already suspect that she might have the opportunity to be both. The film peeks behind the respectable lace curtains of a British village where Marjorie Beasley is a landlady, her husband, Stanley, is a one-legged war veteran and their teenage daughter Joyce is too smart for her own good.
Into their uneasy idyll one day comes the hapless Harold Guppy (Rupert Graves), who is looking for a room to rent. "Call me Mom," Mrs. Beasley (Julie Walters) tells him firmly. Conducting a tour of the house, she is quite clear about the sleeping arrangements: "Mr. Beasley and I keep separate rooms for medical purposes." Harold is a bit of a case study himself. Until recently in the merchant marine, he has some shady skeletons in his closet, but seems friendly enough, and enjoys the reasonable rent, good food and all-around hospitality, especially from "Mom," who embraces him hungrily in the hallways and creeps silently into his room at night.
But not quite silently enough, because Joyce (Laura Sadler) pops in right after her, and demands to join them in bed. "It's my birthday," she explains. "That's not decent!" Harold protests. "I'm her mother," Marjorie says, concerned that Joyce might betray them to Mr. Beasley (Matthew Walker), who by this hour of the night is usually deep in an alcohol-induced snooze.
"Intimate Relations" tells a story that resembles in some respects pornography, although it suggests that if one ever did find oneself in such a situation, it would be a great deal more bother than it was worth. Mother and daughter alternate visits to the handsome young Mr. Guppy, Dad begins to harbor dark suspicions, and Mom panics when it appears that Harold may be prepared to escape into the army.
"Intimate Relations" is about the same sort of repressed sexual goofiness that found an outlet in "Heavenly Creatures," that New Zealand film about the two close friends who committed murder together, or "The Young Poisoner's Handbook" about the earnest young man whose chemistry experiments went entirely too far. Its deadpan humor is entertaining, up to a point, but that point is passed before the movie is quite at its halfway point, and then we're left watching increasingly desperate people who are trapped by one another's madness. At the end I was not sure quite what it was all about, and neither, I am sure, was Mr. Guppy.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.
