Why The Bridge Can Be Called a Lesbian Crime Thriller
My mother grew up on the U.S.-Mexican border of El Paso, Texas, and Juárez, Chihuahua, the latter a city where literally thousands of women have been murdered and discarded in recent years. It has always been a place steeped in violence and mystery; of cross-cultural relationships, Mexican drug cartels, and surreal desert-side worlds invisible to others. My mother left the area — and a childhood of violence, dirt floors, and colorful riverside shanty towns — with a couple of mental health disorders to show for it all.
So I was excited last year to tune in to a show set in that same world, as FX's The Bridge brought us a unique and foreboding female-fronted (and resolutely feminist) crime thriller, a remake of a Danish-Swedish series of the same name (once translated). The Bridge centers on a serial killer who commits murders on both sides of that famous border (the title literally refers to the Bridge of the Americas, which is a border crossing between El Paso and Juárez), bringing together two types of TV cops we never see: Det. Sonya Cross, a woman with Asperger's syndrome, who is played by German actress Diane Kruger, and an ethical Mexican cop, Det. Marco Ruiz, played by the skillfully nuanced actor Demián Bichir.
The thing is, Cross is alluring, frustrating, captivating. But she isn't the real reason to tune in. That nod goes to the show's lesbian character, a young Latina reporter named Adriana Mendez, who came out in the third episode and later got bumped up to series regular on the show. Mendez is played by Emily Rios, who many remember from the LGBT festival hit Quinceañera or as a lesbian on TNT's Men of a Certain Age. And she's one of The Bridge's most competent characters, shining with quiet brilliance.
As a reporter for the El Paso Times on the U.S. side, Mendez, a native of Juárez, is teamed with Matthew Lillard's Daniel, a drug-addicted veteran reporter with a sort of pansexual level of attraction to people, including a hot drag queen who turns him on in a Juárez bar.
The duo, both great at their jobs, cover the crimes that Cross and Ruiz are investigating, uncovering two cities and the people among them. Along the way, though, Mendez upends our ideas about what it means to be both a Latina and a lesbian in modern American.
That's what executive producer Meredith Stiehm wanted. She told the media (including AfterEllen) at the Television Critics Association event that the character was based on a woman she met years ago, who admitted that her lesbianism actually lifted her out of poverty.
"I just thought it was so interesting that it was this quiet, positive thing," Stiehm said. "This was a Mexican woman. She's like, 'I would have been pregnant at 19. At 14 I would have been on welfare. I just would have had what all my sisters have. And the reason [I didn't] was, I wasn't sleeping with boys.'"
Stiehm also admitted that the character could have been more marginal, but because the producers and writers "love her and she's got this sort of quiet charisma that I think is really effective," they made her role larger. It also allows the writers to tell the story of a lesbian who comes from a culture that's noted for being less open to same-sex relationships or gayness overall.
And here's the better rub. All the women on the show, including Annabeth Gish as a confounded widow, get better treatment than you'd expect from network television.
The show has gamely played the relationships between men and women — Cross and Ruiz, Mendez and Daniel — as sexless friendships, real partnerships, the kind where there isn't sexual tension and a season-long story arc about falling in love (speaking of Bones…). And that's part of its quiet feminist allure.
The second season promises even more, as Mendez and Cross are both surrounded by a web of money-laundering, warring drug cartels, and police corruptions. And onto the scene comes Franka Potente (the beloved star of Run Lola Run), playing a shunned Mennonite who dresses like a church lady but is ruthless and sinister and really damn scary beneath the facade.
You can catch up with The Bridge: The Complete First Season on DVD or tune into tonight's premiere on FX.

My Big Scrumptious Greek Wedding Soup
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 12 mins
This recipe is a knock-off of the traditional Italian wedding soup. Interestingly enough, the original dish of fame is not served at weddings at all; the name refers to the "marriage" of greens and meat in a clear broth. Here, substituting shrimp balls for the traditional ground beef meatballs makes it a healthy alternative. Using canned broth makes this a very quick and filling dinner entree -- even speedier if the shrimp balls are prepared in advance. The leftovers are delicious!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb raw shrimp
- 2 egg whites
- 1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1⁄2 cup orzo pasta, uncooked
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas
- 1 ounce fresh basil
- parmesan cheese, extra to grate on top of bowls
- Shell and devein the shrimp. With a towel, pat thoroughly dry. Chop in a food processor or blender. Blend in the egg whites, cheeses, garlic and cornstarch until it becomes a paste-like consistency. Roll into 1-inch balls. (Step #1 can be done in advance of meal time.).
- In a large saucepan, heat chicken broth on high. As soon as it starts boiling, carefully drop in shrimp balls one by one. Stir in orzo, lemon juice and chick peas. The liquid will stop boiling but as soon as it starts again, reduce heat to medium. Add basil. Cook for 10 minutes or until orzo is tender.
- Ladle soup into individual bowls and grate fresh parmesan cheese on top. Serve with warm pita bread cut in triangles.
Most Helpful
This soup was outstanding, but I have to admit I used quite a bit more garlic.... no problem tho' and I did add abit of thinly sliced carrot (done in the salad shooter) and some chopped leaves of escarole as one reviewer suggested. That was a nice addition to the soup and not too overwhelming. I served it at a dinner party and everyone wanted the recipe. My husband really thought it was a winner.
I love the idea of this and it was the first recipe I chose. But I found the shrimpballs to be on the rubbery side and the broth too have too strong a flavor.
I liked the shrimp balls and it made the soup interesting; but I was not to sure about the feta cheese in it. The peppery taste of the chick peas was a nice surprise to my taste buds. The orzo and light broth was good as well. I know you were limited to only using the listed ingredients for this contest. However, I would now add some escarole and carrots to this basic recipe. Of the three RSC #7 recipes I choose to review, this was one of them (from about 100 submission). So you did a good job being limited to the listed ingredients.

E.D. White tops Franklin to open district play
Published: Saturday, October 8, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 8, 2005 at 1:21 a.m.
THIBODAUX -- The E.D. White Catholic Cardinals quickly made their presence felt in District 7-3A Friday night.
Playing their first season in the district, the Cardinals had little trouble in their league opener with a 27-6 win over the Franklin Hornets, last seasons district champion.
E.D. White (4-1, 1-0 district) got off to a quick start, scoring a pair of first-quarter touchdowns.
Following an interception by Lee LeBouef, the Cardinals scored on Brent Soignets 25-yard run midway through the first quarter. Billy Foret added the extra point for a 7-0 lead.
"Our defense started up well in the first half, and in the second half, we picked it up some more," E.D. White coach Kyle Lasseigne said. "Our offense threw the ball well, and we made some good plays."
The Cardinals extended their lead to 14-0 when Soignet scored his second touchdown of the game on a 41-yard run at the 2:16 mark. Foret made the extra point for the 14-point lead.
Soignet led the Cardinals with three carries for 72 yards and two touchdowns.
With 2:34 remaining in the first half, EDW scored again when quarterback Nolan Dumas tossed a 59-yard touchdown pass to Soignet on third down giving the Cardinals a 20-0 halftime lead.
Dumas completed 3 of 11 passes for 101 yards.
After stopping Franklin (0-5, 0-1) on downs, E.D. White took over possession at its own 33-yard line. Thirteen plays later, Jordan Hymel scored on 3-yard run. Forets extra point extended the Cardinals lead to 27-0.
Franklin avoided the shutout by scoring with 1:13 left in the game. Steve Small scored on a 14-yard run to make the score 27-6. The two-point try failed when Levi Moore was tackled by Bryce Toups and Jordy Toups.

Andrea Weinreb says, "As a family, we just have a lot of junk."
Andrea Weinreb knows you shouldn't throw electronics out with the trash because of all the toxins they can contain.
Andrea explains, "You have a basement, and you just keep putting it down there."
The Weinreb's basement is stuffed with their bulky electronic castoffs. Upstairs there are old iPods and other smaller stuff they don't want.
Consumer Reports ShopSmart says you can turn your old gadgets into cash.
Lisa Lee Freeman with Consumer Reports ShopSmart says, "The latest trend is stores and online retailers like Amazon.com offering cash or trade-ins for your old electronics."
Best Buy, for instance, will take back "gently used" laptops, iPods, and mobile phones right at the store with a Best Buy receipt.
At Best Buy online, you'll be able to trade in a wider variety of products, even older items bought at other stores. As with many other retailers, you'll get a gift card in exchange.
Radio Shack also buys old electronics in stores or online.
And Target runs an electronics trade-in program with the company NextWorth.
Freeman explains, "Hot products like iPhones and iPads will get you the best prices."
But prices vary. For instance, a 16-gig iPhone can get $125 on the site Cell it Used, $132 dollars on Gazelle, and nearly $250 dollars on Glyde.
Lisa points out, "To get the most for your electronics, try to hang on to accessories like manuals, cases, and chargers. The original boxes help, too."
And even if the retailer won't give you anything for your old stuff, usually you can still send it in and the company will recycle it responsibly.
You can also consider making a donation of your old electronics to charities like the Salvation Army and Goodwill, as long as they are in good working condition.
You can get more information on how to unload old electronics in Consumer Reports ShopSmart magazine now on newsstands.

The United States on Friday named 18 Russians it has blacklisted for links to Moscow's handling of the case of the late human rights lawyer Sergei Magnitsky or other humna rights violations.
In a move certain to further strain relations between Washington and Moscow, the US Treasury released the names of 16 Moscow prosecutors, investigators, tax officials and judges linked to the Magnitsky case.
It also fingered two Chechens tied to other alleged rights abuses.
The government said the group was barred from traveling to the United States under the 2012 "Sergei Magnitsky Act," their US assets had been under Treasury sanctions and Americans are banned from doing business with them.
"The 2009 death of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in pretrial detention in Moscow was a tragedy, and the investigation into his death has yielded no visible result," said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
"Russian officials implicated directly in Magnitsky's imprisonment and prison officials directly involved in decisions that led to his death remain unpunished."
The release of names previously kept secret came as Washington presses Moscow over Magnitsky, who died in 2009 after 11 months in Russian jails.
Whistle-blower Magnitsky was detained after he exposed the massive theft of state assets by Russian officials. He died in prison.
Moscow condemned the publication of the names, warning that it would further poison bilateral relations.
"This move will just inject more bad blood into Russian-American relations that have already become complicated recently," an official at the foreign ministry told the Interfax news agency on condition of anonymity.
The official warned that the publication of the list "will lead to similar measures on Russia's part" and added: "Responsibility for the consequences lies squarely with the American side."
The White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon was scheduled to visit Moscow within days for talks with the secretary of Russia's Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev.
Earlier, Moscow had threatened to retaliate with its own public blacklist.
President Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the US move could leave lasting damage on future ties between the two former Cold War foes.
"The appearance of some lists will unquestionably have a very negative impact on Russian-US bilateral relations," news agencies quoted him as saying.
An unnamed Russian source told the ITAR-TASS news agency that Moscow's counter-measures would be "symmetrical" and should be expected by Saturday.
Moscow reacted with anger when the Magnitsky Act was passed last year by US lawmakers keen to increase pressure on Moscow over the case.
In retaliation, Russia's parliament agreed legislation barring American families from adopting Russian children.
The Russian foreign ministry has since drawn up its own blacklist of US officials alleged to have committed human rights violations.
A former senior US commander at the Guantanamo base in Cuba, where the United States keeps terror suspects, has already been denied entry by Moscow.
The US blacklist includes Moscow judges Aleksey Krivoruchko, Sergei Podoprigorov, Yelena Stashina and Svetlana Ukhnalyova, who were involved in placing and keeping Magnitsky in detention, according to a US congressman.
It also included interior ministry officials Pavel Karpov, Artem Kuznetsov, and Oleg Lugunov, who directed the case against Magnitsky.
Also on the list was a Chechen, Kazbek Dukuzov, who was arrested, tried and exonerated in the 2004 murder of US journalist Paul Klebikov in Moscow.

Black Church in L.A. Welcomes Latino Neighbors
A Black church in Compton is embracing its Latino members, incorporating bilingualism into its ceremonies. New Life in Christ opened its doors to Spanish speaking congregants in the neighborhood two years ago, with the predominantly African-American choir singing hymns in Spanish and English and an assistant pastor to translate sermons. "The people here are incredible," new member Alondra Miramontes told AP. "You feel like you're being welcomed into their home." The coming together of these two in the city of Compton, where Black and Latino gangs have a history of clashing, signifies a move to multiculturalism in Urban centers that mirrors to unifying of minorities around the country.

looks like redcat dropped there price, $289 for the hurricane. Seems like a great deal
that's good for me! I was going to get the caldera xb 10e, but for $60 more imight as well get the hurricane xte, seems like a better car for the money. Any thoughts?
I noticed on ebay that the price of some of there cars are really cheap, for example you can get the hurricane xte for $289 free shipping! But the backdraft is still $329? Don't make sense
So between the Monsoon XTE and Backdraft 8e, which one would you choose, and why.
Thanks for the reply, my local redcat dealer has the Monsoon XTE for $380 and the Backdraft 8E for $320, I might just get the Monsoon, seems to be the best deal right now.
there's a $70 difference between the two, so I am assuming that the hurricane is a better buggy, but is it worth the extra $70?
I know there cheap, but I'm just going to be playing around in my backyard so I don't want to start spending too much. Edit, I am looking at the redcat monsoon xte or the hurricane xte. Both comments...
So I have been looking around and the time has come to get something to play around with. My friend recently bought a redcat (forget the model) but it seems pretty nice and was ready to go. Now that...

Oct. 28, 1995: In a tightly-fought series between Atlanta and Cleveland, the Braves win the clincher 1-0. Justice's 6th-inning blast off Jim Poole is the only run.
Oct. 19, 1981: Monday sends the Dodgers to the World Series with his ninth-inning solo shot off Montreal's Steve Rogers for a 2-1 win.
Oct. 23, 1996: The new Yankee dynasty is jump-started when Leyritz rescues the Yankees from a potential 3-1 series deficit with a 3-run, game-tying HR off Atlanta's Mark Wohlers in the 8th. The Yanks win the game in the 10th.
Sept. 30, 1927: Ruth's record -- breaking his own mark of 59 -- holds up for 34 years.
Oct. 26, 2002: With the Giants leading 5-0 and eight outs from winning their first World Series in San Francisco, Spiezio has a memorable duel with Felix Rodriguez, fouling off two pitches with two strikes before hitting a 3-run HR to right. The Angels rally for the win and then take Game 7 as well.
Oct. 22, 1975: After winning a classic Game 6, the Red Sox lead Game 7 by a 3-0 score. But Perez's 2-run homer off Bill Lee's slow curve in the 6th makes it 3-2. The Reds add runs in the 7th and 9th to win 4-3.
Oct. 17, 1979: The Orioles lead 1-0 when the Pirates' elder statesman drills a 2-run homer off Scott McGregor for a 2-1 lead en route to a 4-1 win.
Oct. 7, 1952: Mantle breaks a 2-2 tie in the 6th with a homer off Brooklyn's Joe Black, over the right-field scoreboard at Ebbets Field.
Oct. 1, 1932: Does the Babe really "call" his homer? Well ... maybe. Ruth is being ridden hard by both the Cubs bench and Chicago fans, who toss lemons at Ruth while booing him thoroughly. It is Ruth's nature to give as good as he gets, so when he faces Charlie Root in the 5th inning of the third game, he is ready to answer. Cubs fans can only muster a single lemon rolled out to home plate.
Here's how the next day's New York Times described the scene: "In no mistaken motions the Babe notified the crowd that the nature of his retaliation would be a wallop right out of the confines of the park. Root pitched two balls and two strikes, while Ruth signaled with his fingers after each pitch to let the spectators know exactly how the situation stood. Then the mightiest blow of all fell. It was a tremendous smash that bore straight down the centre [sic] of the field in a tremendous arc, came down alongside the flagpole, and disappeared behind the corner formed by the scoreboard and the end of the right-field bleachers."
Sept. 28, 1960: Only 10,454 fans witness the grand exit, at least, in part, because nobody knows it is Williams' last game. The Sox still have three games left to play in New York; but after the Baltimore game, Williams announces he is retiring four days earlier than expected.
Sept. 30, 1945: On a dark, misty, rainy afternoon at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis, Greenberg, who returned to the Tigers after 3 1/2 years in the Army just a few months earlier, clears the bases to give the Tigers a 6-3, pennant-winning victory over the Browns. The Browns had intentionally walked Roger Cramer with men on second and third and one out to load the bases for Greenberg. Nelson Potter tries to sneak a screwball past the slugger, who sneaks a booming shot just inside the left-field foul pole.
Oct. 12, 1986: The Angels are one out -- and strike -- from the World Series when Henderson hits a 2-run homer off Donnie Moore to give the Red Sox a lead (the Angels tie the game before Boston wins in 11 innings). The Red Sox take the next two as well.
Oct. 14, 1985: The Wizard shocks the Dodgers with his game-ending homer off Tom Niedenfuer -- Ozzie's first career homer batting left-handed.

1994 Volvo 850 GLTS 4dr Wagon
Don't let the miles scare you when you are looking for a used Volvo. Mine had 152,000 miles on it when I bought it. Just passed 230,000 and this thing still runs and drives like a new car. She's built like a tank. Regular maintenance and the odd sensor or ball joint and this thing will run forever. FOLLOW THE VOLVO RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE!! I bought this car used 3 years ago after it was recommended by 3 different people. I have owned over 25 cars including Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, Jeeps, a Ford, several GM products, and a BMW and this one is BY FAR the best vehicle I've ever owned. My friends kept telling me "Once you own a Volvo, you'll never own another car. They were right.
Most comfortable seats in the world. Build quality is AMAZING. Other car makers (BMW and Mercedes excluded) build throw away cars that are designed to be replaced after 100,000-200,000 miles. Pre-Ford ownership Volvo built cars to last you a lifetime. The bad reviews ever given this car are from people who don't understand that parts WILL wear out. The difference is that the major automakers build them so that when the parts wear out, it is uneconomical to keep the car on the road. Volvo built cars to replace only the part that failed. The basic structure of the vehicle is bulletproof. That said, learn to work on your own car, because the Volvo dealership prices are ridiculous.
The front suspension is problematic with this being Volvo's first front wheel drive car. Control arm bushings, ball joints, etc are not as high quality as the rest of the car. I'm in for an alignment once a year, although I do drive 30-40k miles annually. Also, if it matters to you, the cupholders are worthless. In Sweden, driving is driving and you don't eat or drink while doing so. They were added by Volvo as an afterthought for the American market.
has 137k, bought with 103k. Problems: - Throttle body hose, mass airflow meter, and spark plugs (about $700) at 129k - New ceramic brakes and rotors ($475) -New wiper/cruise control stock (replaced on my own at $35) Benefits: - Very comfortable car, perfect for long trips! - 26-30mpg highway - Rear seats fold flat...and passenger seat. It can sleep somebody in there!
Dual climate control Flat rear seats Comfortably seats 5
Peppier engine. It's better than your mother's tan 240, but it barely keeps its own amongst 4-banger Camrys or Accords of today.
This is our second Volvo, and both my
husband and I love it. We were
originially sold on the Volvo safety
record, but after driving it for a few
weeks, we realized that the
performance of this vehicle is also
outstanding. We got it right before
our son was born, and although having
a rear-facing child seat in it was a
bit of a tight fit, now that he's in a
forward facing seat, we don't have a
negative thing to say about it. It's
roomy enough for our child, three
dogs, and all our gear for vacations,
and it's extremely reliable.
Third seat, memory driver seat, econ/
sport features, trip computer,
handling/performance, safety, safety,
Cup holders, roomier design in 2nd
seat to allow for rear-facing car seats
comfortable, reliable, I feel very
safe in it
selecting driving style with the
transmission ie. winter ,econ. or sport
the city mpg is too low 12.5 mpg avg.
These are great cars and are very
safe. I have had no problems and this
is my second Volvo to own. I will buy
another Volvo.
Heated seats, headlight wiper blades,
third seat, sunroof, reliability.

A phrase used to convey anger, frustration, or simply to replace other, more crude words. Also used as a question/answer to inquire as to the status of another person, with the response conveying frustration. Generally used in workplace environments where cursing is discouraged.

A salad shooter is usually a vegan individual that consumes too little food prior to a night of heavy drinking, karaoke and or playing video games, specifically Dance Dance Revolution.
The "shooting" occurs about an hour later, unexpectedly, when the victim pukes suddenly - coating windows, walls and soaking clothing with bile and shredded carrot bits.

Defined as: Noun: What your ass turns into after partaking in a fast food lunch. It is also another way of saying diarrhea. The end result is your ass spackling a toilet wall with shit. This term is coined after the famous hand operated kitchen utensil sold on TV in the 80's which "shot" salad from a small orifice.
Damn that supposedly healthy sandwich I just ate made me run to the bathroom for a salad shooter experience.

Re: GW this....su
pport group!
Wanted to dig this up and mention that I just finished up Round 5 (or 6...I lost count).
Between DW and myself, we sent this weekend 24 GWs, 9 PFDs, and 10 DVs between 5 baddies to different addresses/contact info.
CapOne (2 lates from 2002) - Mailed 7 GWs and faxed 2 GWs.
Verizon Wireless (unpaid) - Mailed 9 PFDs.
Americredit (Joint w/ DW and 13 lates) - Faxed 1 GW, and mailed 5 GWs, three were to higher-ups.
AFNI (never validated - decided to revisit; OC sent balance that differs from CA's) - Mailed 2 DVs, Faxed 3 DVs, and e-mailed another 5 all to varying addresses and contact names, including to most of their officers.
CapOne (paid CO) - Faxed 2 GWs and mailed 7 GWs.
Americredit - same as above.
Medical CA - Decided to wait a couple days for further review. Need to change tactics.
And that is it. Confident at least one baddie will go away.
In July, I didn't send anything. Had this feeling I should wait it out. However, during that time, DW had three baddies removed....Applied Card Bank (due to CRTP), Aspire Card (due to GW), and Verizon landline (likely sold but removed after an unanswered PFD; did mail them a check after it disappeared but has been 3 weeks and check still outstanding).
So, not too bad of a result from last round. DWs scores increased an average of about 50 points, but some of that was natural aging of a new account.

okay I am still trying to learn all the different terms here!
Is a mei tei the same type of carrier as an ergo?
what is the difference between mei tei and ergo?
Good to know about the bjorn not working for people- I had thought it was "the best" one. I was told ergo for later- my baby is 11 lbs right now. But I can get the insert.
It is really important for me for it to be easy to put on and off a lot, which I like about the bkorn.
How does the ergo go on and off and is it simple?
what about the mei tei?
Kristy, wife to Josh proud mama to Katie: since 3/08 and Emma since 8/12.
we got the Ergo! He is in it right now for the first time with me- dh has worn him in it. I really like it! only thing is- how do you do up and undo the upper back strap yourself with the newborn insert in? I can't reach it!

Until this book is fixed, do not purchase. It is either incomplete (it appears to contain only the book cover) or it is formatted incorrectly (the content won't display).
Every time I tried to open it my NOOK would freeze up. I finally had to delete it for my NOOK to function properly again. I really wanted to give it -5 stars.
If you're looking for a title to your novel or original screenplay, start with this exhaustive compilation of the great quotations of the world. Another reason to use it is to find out whether it was Mark Twain or H. L. Mencken who first said dotty things about California!
I was excited to have my old friend in the Nook version but was disappointed to find it cumbersome an difficult to use. Give me pages to turn for this book. I have other reference books in the Nook version and found Bartlette's to be an exception - not Nook friendly.
I made the mistake of ignoring the other reviews. The book freezes up whenever you try to open it. Even restarting the Nook will not help.
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is back in its 17th edition better then ever. It continues its tradition of being one of the best refrence books avaliable. Whether your a student or not Bartlett's Quotations is a great book for pleasure or study.
Any serious writer, and even those not so serious, will benefit by having this book as a handy reference. I keep my copy close to the computer and use it often. I can't imagine not having it in my own personal library.
Bartlett's the best quote source out there, but the nook format is too big. It bogs down, can't handle fast page turns and locks up. So when they can upgrade the memory a bit, it'll be a keeper. I wish I had waited.
I have repeatedly used a previous edition and purchased this for a niece and great niece to have as a resource for everyday quotation questions. It is an essential library addition.
This is one of those books that everyone should have on their bookshelf. There's a quote for everything and its fun to just look through to pass the time.
This book really helped me with my speeches.
The recent revision is certainly 'timely'. I can only say that it has abandoned the original concept...which was to provide a 'bank' of cultural reference. What I particularly object to is the emphasis on cultural iconography over real content. I own many former editions of this work. Rarely do those editions take such a cheap-shot approach. To illustrate; while a famous lyricist of the 1940's might be included, rarely would the inclusion be a simple regurgitation of his/her well-known lyrics. I have read many interviews, over the years, with Mick Jagger of the rock band the Rolling Stones. While I didn't always agree with him, it was clear that he was intelligent and thoughtful. It is said that the band Led Zeppelin took their name from an ironic adaptation of a comment by Jagger. When told of the proposed line-up of the band, and asked what he thought of it, he is said to have said 'That ought to go over like a lead zepplin'. Apochryphal? Perhaps so. But it is just this kind of real 'meat' that this new edition is lacking. Instead, under 'Mick Jagger', we are spoon-fed ' I can't get no satisfaction...' Come on! Can't the editors do any better than THAT!?
This book is excelent, but most libraries have it, so just go there.

The Celebrity Factor: Lights, Camera, Reaction
No. 4 of WebMD's Top 10 Stories of 2004: The illnesses of famous people often put a spotlight on the disease. But does this have a domino effect?
By Heather Hatfield
Reviewed By Michael Smith
When former President Bill Clinton underwent heart bypass surgery to repair blocked arteries earlier in 2004, it was covered on countless news programs, printed in hundreds of newspapers, and talked about on radio stations nationwide. As a result, thousands of men around the U.S. called their doctor asking for appointments to have their own hearts checked out.
The deaths of Ronald Reagan from Alzheimer's disease and Christopher Reeve from a complication of paralysis brought the spotlight back on stem cell research. When Elizabeth Edwards was diagnosed with breast cancer after finding a lump during a self-exam, many waited to hear how she was doing. And then Chief Justice William Rehnquist brought a lot of attention to a little-known cancer -- thyroid cancer.
The illnesses of celebrities both pique our voyeuristic urges, and spur us to action. What is it about seeing our favorite celebrity dealing with difficult illnesses that triggers us to go to the doctor?

Omar Sosa's Eighty-Eight Well-Tuned Drums is a documentary about the life and music of Cuban-born pianist and composer Omar Sosa. The film features interviews and never-before-seen footage of multiple performances set against the backdrop of recording sessions for Sosa's 2015 album, Ilé.
The film traces Sosa's origins from his birth in Camagüey, Cuba's third-largest city, conservatory education in Havana, and relocation to Ecuador where he briefly wrote and arranged commercial jingles. Sosa's story continues with a fateful mid-90s move to the U.S., a stint as a sought-after sideman in the Bay Area's Latin jazz scene, and partnership with manager Scott Price that continues to this day.
Since 1997, Sosa has released 24 albums and received four Grammy nominations and three Latin Grammy nominations. Performing approximately 80 concerts on six continents annually, Sosa is known for a rhythmic style (hence the "Drums" of the film's title) and musical influences as varied as his travel itinerary.
Beginning in 2013, whenever Sosa appeared in the northeastern U.S., filmmaker Soren Sorensen was granted unprecedented access to Sosa and his bandmates for interviews, rehearsals, and performances. Omar Sosa's Eighty-Eight Well-Tuned Drums includes glimpses of the globetrotting artist in duo with celebrated Italian trumpeter Paolo Fresu, with the Afri-Lectric Sextet, and with his latest band, the New AfroCuban Quartet in storied venues including New York's Blue Note Jazz Club.
Sosa's New AfroCuban Quartet features fellow Camagüey natives Leandro Saint-Hill on alto saxophone and flute and Ernesto Simpson on drums and bassist Childo Tomas who hails from Maputo, Mozambique. Perhaps most thrilling for fans will be the full-circle nature of Sosa's forthcoming ilę, which is poised to reunite Sosa's music with his Cuban roots.

"I give this film my highest praise. I want people to see it to understand the deep thinking that went into the tough decision made by most veterans to serve in that lengthy and controversial military engagement—now remembered as the Vietnam War.
"Many veterans paid a high price. The tribute to the fallen is breathtaking."
Jan ScruggsFounder, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund--
"My Father's Vietnam" is a powerful and gripping story—a worthy testament to complex lives and impossible choices made by young people coming of age while the world was in flames. These accidental heroes—soldiers, resisters, the women who waited and worried—emerge as fully human beings thrust into situations not of their making, struggling to make sense and create meaning out of chaos. This is a dazzling documentary and a necessary addition to the chronicle of the Viet Nam years."
Bill Ayers Author, Fugitive Days
My Father's Vietnam TRAILER
Peter Sorensen snapped this photograph of a heavily damaged church from the back of a truck traveling north on QL1 (Highway 1) to a forward fire support base in the fall of 1969 in South Vietnam. "I remember being struck," Sorensen recalls, "by the irony of a church being caught in the crossfire of two warring armies." Peter and his wife Elizabeth Sorensen, mother of filmmaker Soren Sorensen, later used an image of this church a Christmas card in 1971 with the caption, "Peace on Earth."
Having begun his tour as a combat engineer in the fall of 1969, Peter Sorensen was reassigned to the U.S. Army's 31st Public Information Office in the spring of 1970. "I was taking pictures on and around forward fire support base Bronco where I was stationed when I encountered this infantryman, or 'grunt,'" Sorensen says. "You can see that he has two or three other envelopes in his pocket, so he had clearly been at it a while, catching up on letter-writing to family and friends." He adds, "I was moved by his intensity, and the solemnity and serenity of the scene."
Peter Sorensen, one of the film's subjects and father of filmmaker Soren Sorensen, leaning against a five-ton dump truck and smiling after the safe conclusion of a two-mile mine sweep during the fall of 1969 in South Vietnam. Sorensen remembers, "You can tell it's early in my tour because my uniform hasn't faded, I'm not sunburned, and my mustache hasn't grown in yet."
Peter Sorensen took this photograph at the end of his tour in October of 1970 while standing in line with a group of Americal soldiers awaiting processing for return to the United States. "I was on my way home," Sorensen remembers. "The guys leaning on the railing in the background are leaving either later that day or the next day, and looking on enviously. I don't remember much of anything about this other than the fact that I was going home."

Harvesting Rhode Island is a 5-part series that raises public awareness of local farming and the farm-to-table cycle through folk life studies, and by interpreting how this significant way of life on the farm will manage to survive.
Episodes will air two at a time in the ongoing series, Rhode Island Stories, Sundays at 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. beginning March 22, 2015.
The series explores how traditional systems can be creatively maintained and become more of a dynamic marketplace. Introducing the public to the farmers of Rhode Island will provide insights into the complex but easily taken-for-granted process behind the edibles we consume.
Growers have had to balance the traditional approaches that were handed down to them with the variable realities of today's business climate. In the latter part of the twentieth century local wholesale markets began to shrink due to large retailers and national distribution systems.
As a result, growers increased their direct marketing through on-site retail stands, pick-your-own programs, farmers markets, and selling through local retailers. This direct approach has, in turn, stimulated diversification to satisfy the eclectic tastes of increasingly sophisticated consumers. A large number of consumers in Rhode Island are unaware of the locations and variety of crops that are grown in the state and where to purchase them.
Harvesting Rhode Island seeks to change that by bringing viewers on location to see the farms, meet the farmers and listen to the farmers' stories.

One in seven new mothers will experience postpartum depression within a year of giving birth. Raise the Curtain: Moving Through Darkness is a documentary film that seeks to demystify the most common complication of childbirth.
"Raise the Curtain sheds light in a moving and creative way on a problem that afflicts a staggering number of women who suffer in silence with this misunderstood disorder," said David W. Piccerelli, president of WSBE Rhode Island PBS. "We're pleased to air this film. This is an example of our commitment to air more local programming that is relevant to our audience, and to work with the community to spark conversations and bring attention to important issues such as mental health and wellness."
Raise the Curtain: Moving Through Darkness features compelling stories of Rhode Island families who have experienced postpartum depression firsthand.
"The symptoms and stigma related to postpartum depression are, I think, largely unknown to most of us," said filmmaker Soren Sorensen. "Like many devastating life experiences, postpartum depression is essentially ignored until families are ambushed by it. Postpartum depression, while very treatable, carries with it shame and isolation capable of rendering new mothers unwilling or unable to ask for help, and during a time they expected to be filled only with rapturous joy."
Families First Rhode Island works to end that shame and isolation by promoting the secure and nurturing parent-child relationships that are the foundation of every child's overall well-being and future success. Families First conducts Moms For Moms, a program to help mothers who are pregnant or recently had a baby. Jamie Puleo, executive director of Families First Rhode Island, observed that some of these mothers could be at risk for or may be suffering from postpartum depression.
"Our Moms for Moms program offers peer mentoring, support, and friendship through weekly visits from well-trained volunteers or 'Mentor Moms,'" she said. Ms. Puleo explained that volunteers are given extensive training and supervision in supporting women dealing with pregnancy and postpartum adjustment issues, including maternal depression.
"As you will see, Raise the Curtain: Moving Through Darkness follows the story of four mothers in our program. We hope that hearing their stories will encourage women to feel comfortable seeking help, whether they are depressed or feeling isolated or anxious with the changes that can occur when a new child is brought into the family," Ms. Puleo said.
"The fact that Families First RI can offer mentorship and support to these mothers and so many more, at no cost, is astonishing," said Mr. Sorensen.

Behind the Ribbon is the title of an original nonfiction television series made possible by the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation. Each episode features stories of patients, survivors, and those who have lost their lives to breast cancer, an illness that will affect one in six Rhode Island women.
The Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation's mission is to raise breast cancer awareness, increase breast health education, enhance the quality of life for breast cancer patients, as well as their families and friends, and generate funding for local breast health programs.
Behind the Ribbon takes viewers "behind the scenes" for a chance to see a small, locally-focused non-profit at work and the crucial support it provides to Rhode Islanders all over the state. Behind the Ribbon is an opportunity for a new audience to get to know the Foundation. The program will also feature information about Foundation-sponsored programming and events and encourage volunteerism and community service.

Is Your Hair Made of Donuts? is an animated short based on the book of the same name by author and nutritional consultant, Joy Feldman.
In a world that super-sizes everything, the Blossoms do things differently. Young Matt and Maddie Blossom aren't allowed to eat donuts or any of the other chemical confections kids currently crave.
Matt and Maddie are tired of feeling different from their classmates so Mom allows them to indulge in all the donuts and delicacies they can eat from the supermarket's forbidden zone.
Soon after, they embark on a whimsical adventure in the form of a shared dream. Their surroundings—and hairdos—undergo a colorful metamorphosis that causes them to rethink their former fondness for fatty foods.
This animated film project was made possible by The Picture of Children's Health, a non-profit dedicated to educating and empowering children to make lifelong healthy lifestyle choices and achieve optimal health.
DVD includes four healthy cooking demonstrations for kids and their parents! Learn how to make Strawberry-Watermelon Granita here!
