"Microsoft's vice-president Jim Allchin told at a recent Windows Vista reviewers conference a story about chief executive Steve Ballmer: It seems Steve was at a friend's wedding reception when the bride's father complained that his PC had slowed to a crawl and would Steve mind taking a look. Allchin says Ballmer, the world's 13th wealthiest man with a fortune of about $18 billion, spent almost two days trying to rid the PC of worms, viruses, spyware, malware and severe fragmentation without success. He lumped the thing back to Microsoft's headquarters and turned it over to a team of top engineers, who spent several days on the machine, finding it infected with more than 100 pieces of malware, some of which were nearly impossible to eradicate.
Among the problems was a program that automatically disabled any antivirus software."
Well at least, that's true management commitment…
But as Steve is a salesman, I hope he sold at least a copy of Windows OneCare (and installed Windows Defender) 😉

The short answer to the above question is that the Panasonic P65VT65 is basically 'a home cinema fan's dreams come true'. The VT65s are Panasonic's flagship plasma series for 2013 – unless you're well-heeled enough to add to the equation the limited edition £4000 Panasonic P60ZT65 – and this 65-inch model is the largest model from VT65 range. Which if you read our review of the Panasonic P50VT65 is probably all you need to know.
If you've never had a 65-inch TV in your living room before, you can't appreciate just how big such a beast looks compared with the much more common 55-inch screens. The extra 10 inches step over the boundary from mere 'TV' to genuine 'home cinema' screen in terms of the experience you get while watching it. Yet it's still a home cinema screen that, unlike a typical projector system, you can still just about accommodate in a relatively normal living room environment - and which you can watch without having to completely black out your room.
Compared with the super-slim frames around most of today's high-end LCD TVs, meanwhile, the Panasonic P65VT65's bezel is a strikingly wide affair, adding even more visual impact to that vast screen acreage. It has one good excuse for its frame width, though, for unlike the vast majority of other flat TVs, the P65VT65 tucks front-facing speakers into its bezel. Also, tucked behind the centre of the upper edge, there's a built-in camera for Skyping.
There's no denying, though, that despite the application of a shiny metal trim to the frames extremities, the P65VT65 is aesthetically the poor relation to Panasonic's stunning-looking 2013 LCD TVs. But then if you're seriously considering buying a P65VT65 you're likely much more interested in AV quality than you are in mere good looks.
As behoves any high-end modern TV, the P65VT65 is very much a 'smart' TV. Among its connections are three USBs and built-in Wi-Fi to support video, photo and music multimedia playback, and the network connections also enable you to explore Panasonic's Viera Connect online platform.
For detail on this we refer you to our earlier article on Panasonic's latest Smart TV platform, but in summary, it's an attractively presented and very stable online system, but could do with adding more key video streaming services beyond its current Netflix, BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport, YouTube and DailyMotion support. Certainly the ITV Player, LoveFilm, 4OD and Demand 5 would all be well worth Panasonic striving to get onboard as soon as possible.
Where the Panasnonic P65VT65 is almost beyond reproach in network terms, though, is with its My Home Screen interface. This multi-hub affair does a sublimely good job in conjunction with Panasonic's impressively in-depth onscreen instructions of helping you find and organise content. You and your family members can even set up, very straightforwardly, personal content pages, containing links to just the apps and content each individual cares about.
At the P65VT65's heart beats one of Panasonic's new NeoPlasma Black 3000 panels. Key features of these panels are a 3000Hz-like driving effect delivered via a combination of Panasonic's sub-field driving technology and some high-powered frame interpolation technology. The P65VT65 also boasts Panasonic's finest built-in light filter for boosting contrast (finest, that is, if you discount the 'air gapless' technology on the premium ZT65 model).
As we've come to expect from high-end Panasonic plasmas, the P65VT65 is supported by both the THX and ISF organisations. The THX support proves that the TV has met the stringent video playback standards demanded by their test labs, and has resulted in two very useful THX picture presets.
The ISF support shows that the P65VT65 has enough picture calibration tools in its arsenal to be professionally calibrated by an ISF engineer. In fact the set goes way beyond ISF's requirements with the extent of its colour management, white balance management, gamma management and picture processing controls.
You can even calibrate the TV's pictures without obscuring them with the TV's menus, courtesy of a calibration option on the Viera Connect 2 app Panasonic provides for users of iOS and Android devices.
This app additionally provides an exceptionally simple interface for sharing external multimedia between your smart devices and the TV, or for sharing what you're watching on the TV with your smart device. In fact, since the P65VT65 carries twin Freeview and twin Freesat tuners, you can even watch one show on the TV while someone else watches a different one on a tablet.
Which is better for everyday SD tv watching - the Pana or the Samsung?
great review. is a review of the ST60 forthcoming?
I am not sure that a TV with any negatives should get 10 out of 10
I am not sure a TV with negatives should get 10 out of 10
The above "Scores in Detail" for each heading equate to 52/6 = 8.6
I agree. By definition, a negative is a loss of points
Panasonic are better if you just want an excellent picture out of the box, THX modes are close to perfect.
Received mine this week. It's awesome. Forget design and smart TV, who cares. I watch the moving pictures not the frame and I don't spend hours fiddling with the controls.
Value should be a 9, I checked it out against the Samsung plasma and LCD/LED equivalents - it simply blows them away.
10 out of 10 ? Maybe not, but it's bloody close.

They say there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. If we were to add a third certainty to that list, it might be that we generally have inflation as well. But if rising prices on consumer goods are a fact of life, why are some people surprised when the cost of prescription drugs increase as well?
Anyone involved in clinical work knows investigator engagement is not an easy task. Gathering real-time feedback during a trial, selecting the right investigators, and effectively engaging with sites and investigators can be a monumental challenge.
Earlier this year Invesco Perpetual, an investment firm with holdings in Big Pharma companies including Pfizer, Merck, and GSK, announced a $50 million investment in DrugDev, a data sharing platform for clinical trial doctors with an online network of more than 80,000 clinical trial doctors in 93 countries. DrugDev stated at the time that the money would be used to enhance its clinical trial technology as well as acquire companies with complementary technologies. The first of those companies is CFS Clinical. DrugDev announced it has acquired the company, a provider of business and financial management activities for trials, as part of its plan to help companies control the spiraling cost of clinical trials.
When choosing a partner to participate in your human clinical trial, does it matter if you select a state- or federally chartered clinical facility versus a privately operated clinic or hospital? David Shuey, North America life sciences practice leader for insurance brokerage firm Willis Group Holdings plc., believes it does. In fact, if you are not aware of the differences, it could cost you dearly should a problem arise. The issue is sovereign immunity, an ancient carryover from England that is designed to protect the government from lawsuits.
To begin with – a bold statement: it is without doubt that the future success of the pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on increasingly intelligent solutions to increase both the cost-effectiveness of clinical trials, and reduce the burden of healthcare cost throughout the world. The advance of technology can now be observed in both the clinical and healthcare arenas, however, this was not always the case
Electronic Data Capture (EDC) refers to the collection of medical data for patients enrolled in clinical trials. The most common mechanism is for staff at the investigative site to enter the data into a web-based interface, and for staff at the sponsor company to monitor the data using the same interface but with different security permissions. By Keith Howells
On a global scale, the number of new molecular entities (NMEs) in development—and, more importantly, the number being approved by regulatory authorities— has dropped significantly in recent years.

- Core Learning Poems
- The Trees are Down by Charlotte Mew
Writing Ideas
- Mew's poem is an ecological elegy; she's mourning not a person cut down in the prime of life but trees she has known "half my life." Write a poem that similarly elegizes an aspect of a natural environment you know well, and that has been destroyed. This can be a tree or a plant or even (like Mew's rat) an animal.
- "The Trees are Down," as Molly Peacock notes in her guide to the poem, is "vigorous … its lines running like 'the great gale that came.'" Part of that vigor comes from Mew's verbs. Circle all the verbs in her poem and use them, or their opposite, in the same order to write a new poem.
- Mew's poem "unmakes" the usual carpe diem tradition of poems about spring. Write a poem that also "unmakes" a typical subject matter, or mode, of poetry.
Discussion Questions
- While many of Mew's lines look like prose, they contain an element of "sing-song" that pushes them back toward poetry. Try to identify the full, half, and slant rhymes in the poem. Now try to mark the stresses: how do Mew's long lines remain rhythmical?
- Long lines are "cut" into short lines as the poem proceeds. What is the effect of the oscillation between long and short lines?
- Peacock describes Mew's style as "lyrical narrative." The poem's main narrative of the plane-trees is interrupted by a memory of a "large dead rat in the mud of the drive." Why does Mew interject this memory here? What other kinds of "unmaking" or "hurt" does the poem present?
- What is the time frame or scale of the poem? What tense does Mew start the poem in and what tense does she end with? How do the lines help or hinder your travel as a reader through these multiple time frames?
Teaching Tips
- Mew's poem might be considered an earlier forerunner to ecopoetics, a kind of poetry that's "not quite nature poetry," according to the Learning Lab glossary. Have students read that glossary entry and discuss Mew's poem in relation to it. Does Mew's poem fit the definition? Have students research the poets listed in the glossary and compare and contrast their poems to Mew's. Then, perhaps bring in some examples of poems traditionally considered to be "nature poems": perhaps Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" or "Lines Written in Early Spring." What claims do such older poems make for nature? What is the relationship between humans and nature that each poet—Wordsworth, Mew, and contemporary poets such as Juliana Spahr—is attempting to describe
- Peacock describes Mew's poem as "utterly conversational but completely rhythmical." Perhaps building off previous discussion questions, introduce the idea of scansion to your students. Discuss English as a language with stressed and unstressed syllables, and scanning as a way of making a diagram of one's reading experience. In pairs, have one student speak Mew's lines aloud naturally while the other marks where they hear the stressed syllables. Then have the pairs switch roles. After each student has read aloud and scanned the poem, ask them to compare their scansions. Do they match? Do some people hear or read stresses differently? Discuss differences as a class—this could open up a larger conversation about speech habits or ways of speaking, and of listening.

Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees—
Charlotte Mew: "The Trees Are Down"
Poem Guide
Once I had to get along with some people who could never agree on anything. Then our neighbor cut down a tree. Instantly we united in mourning. It is irresistible to identify with trees. Tall emblems of endurance, they possess the special allure of being alive but not animate. They stay as still as monarchs on their thrones, existing at so perfect a distance from us that they create a mythic parallel with our human lives.
So humans suffer when we see people cutting down trees, even if it's for the trees' "own good." And we suffer with outrage if we see no reason for the felling. To weather a hurricane and still raise your arms in praise of existence—that is tree-valor.
"The Trees Are Down," with its epigraph from the Book of Revelation, depicts British poet Charlotte Mew's own ideas of valor, and it might even foreshadow her own end. With her lanky-lined poem, daring in its combination of near-prosiness with the chant of childlike rhyme, Mew is the foremother of our current style of lyrical narration, or narrative lyric. I personally love this poem because of the "swish" and the "crash" and the "rustle" of the felling and because of the shocking (and everlasting) image of the rat. Mew is utterly conversational but completely rhythmical when she says, "I remember thinking: alive or dead, a rat was a god-forsaken thing, / But at least, in May, that even a rat should be alive." She allows us to enter her consciousness, to share with her the horror at the destruction of the "great plane trees at the end of the gardens," and she is even bold enough to invite us to hear the angel of Revelation at the end. Her poem is protean and alive—treelike in its look and in its long-limbed construction. I wonder, leaving aside obvious reasons of sexism, if perhaps her work nearly disappeared because she created our mode of lyric narration a century too early.
Writing most of her poems from the late 1890s to 1913, Mew published only one book in her lifetime, The Farmer's Bride, which was extravagantly praised by Thomas Hardy, Virginia Woolf, Siegfried Sassoon, and Edith Sitwell. Sassoon compared her to Christina Rossetti; Woolf called her "the greatest living poetess"; and Hardy wrote, "Miss Mew is far and away the best living woman poet—who will be read when others are forgotten." Ironically, Mew is so utterly forgotten that you can't even buy her Complete Poems in the US (although it is available in England and Canada, published by Penguin).
Mew (1869-1928) was born into a once well-to-do family of architects. Her father lost the family fortune and died, leaving her mother, a beloved sister, and two mentally ill siblings for whom institutional upkeep had to be paid. Mew and her sister vowed never to marry for fear of passing on this illness, though perhaps the stronger reason was Mew's attachment to women. (If you want to visualize her, dress her in what she typically wore: a porkpie hat, tweed topcoat, and boots. Doesn't that look a little like a tree?)
And like those trees in her poems, she too was cut down, but by her own hand. After her mother's death, and after her sister's death, despite the fact that Hardy and Walter de la Mare secured her a pension, she took her own life, dying horribly by drinking a bottle of lye. Once you know this awful fact, it hangs over her work, something to be adjusted to, or gotten rid of, or, perhaps, read through. Even with its images of death, this vigorous poem must have been written at the height of her energy, its lines running like "the great gales that came" "across the roofs from the great seas" in a spirit of outrage and shocked sympathy. It is a testament to a spirited sensuousness that keeps her work vitally alive, and whispering to us, despite our ignorance of her.
I am indebted to John Newton's preface to the Complete Poems of Charlotte Mew and to the Norton Anthology of Literature by Women for the biographical information about the poet.

Related Poem Content Details
The life of turn-of-the-twentieth-century British writer Charlotte Mew was full of tragedy from beginning to end. Mew was born in London in 1869 into a family of seven children; she was the eldest daughter. While she was still a child, three of her brothers died. Later, another brother and then a sister were committed to mental hospitals in their twenties where they would spend the rest of their lives. That left only Charlotte and her sister Anne, both of whom, because of the history of mental illness in their family, decided never to marry so they wouldn't pass the traits on to their children. The traumatic issues Mew grappled with during her childhood—death, mental illness, loneliness, and disillusionment—became themes in her poetry and stories.
Mew published her first work when she was in her mid-twenties. Although today she is best remembered for her poetry, she also wrote a number...

Imagine breathtaking, unspoiled natural beauty as far as the eye can see that will fill you with a sense of awe and wonder. Imagine a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with nature – a place so magical and unique you'll long to return. Welcome to the Seaside Sanctuary.
Privately sited on 5 wooded acres with 600' of granite shoreline, nestled amidst mature spruce and pine trees overlooking a remote peninsula with captivating views of ocean, islands and tides. This special home invites you, your family and friends to share a one-of-a-kind vacation amidst the wilderness beauty of Maine.
Savor coffee on the deck as the mist burns off the water in the warmth of the sun's rays. Have a seat at the elevated upper granite ledge sitting area with sweeping views of adjacent islands and miles of granite shoreline. Enjoy the warmth of the afternoon sun on the oceanside deck as you settle in for another dazzling sunset. Or, have a seat at the lower granite ledge sitting area and listen to the ocean lapping at your feet. With no other homes in sight -- only pristine natural beauty as far as the eye can see, you'll quickly understand why the Seaside Sanctuary is your special place to appreciate nature's splendor.
Built in an era before setbacks from the shore were increased, the close proximity to the water's edge accentuates a feeling of openness and communication with the beauty and solitude of rural coastal Maine. Inside, an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and walls of oversized windows and sliding glass doors capture stunning views and natural light. Relax and enjoy good company and conversation on the spacious oceanside deck. Observe vibrant sunsets and abundant Maine wildlife (seals, deer, eagles and a variety of bird species.)
Accommodating up to 6 comfortably, the Seaside Sanctuary features a vaulted master suite with private bath and a sitting area with sliding glass doors for a commanding view of ocean and islands. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a fully stocked kitchen make for a comfortable stay. A grand fieldstone fireplace and living room window seat with expansive views enhance the quaint charm of this unique home.
If you're in the mood for adventure, you can launch kayaks directly from the property with easy access to the water. Included for your use and enjoyment are 3 single person kayaks, 1 ocean kayak and a 2-person canoe. Kayak for miles about the islands rich with Maine wildlife. Paddle amidst pods of curious seals, explore sheltered coves, and observe ancient estuaries. Rent mountain bikes and explore the dirt roads about the coastline of Lubec or Campobello Island, or day hike the Bold Coast Conservation Trail 10 miles away in Cutler.
This lovely seaside retreat is a true sanctuary for the soul and an outdoor haven for those who crave adventure or desire quiet, private solitude. Come enjoy this Down East Maine treasure today and prepare to fall in love. In fact, so many of our guests do, they return year after year.
We made our first trip to Lubec in June 2013 and knew instantly that this was EXACTLY where we wanted to be. The natural, unspoiled beauty of the area and the gentle, simplicity of life here are a welcome respite from the everyday world. It's a place to unplug, recharge your batteries, and reconnect with family and friends while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Stacey Trubee purchased this house in 2014
I have always loved nature and the outdoors and the minute we saw this property I knew it was what we had been searching for. The proximity to the water and views from within the home, on the deck, or at various spots around the property foster a strong sense of connection with nature. The enormous tides in the Bay of Funday create an ever-changing landscape that is captivating to watch evolve.
Total privacy and seclusion in a wooded setting
Peace and tranquility - no road or other civilization noise, only the wind in the trees and birdsong
Expansive shorefront with many unique nooks and vantage points to enjoy the breathtaking views
Access to the water from the property to launch kayaks/canoe (provided)
We traveled to Lubec and stayed for two weeks in this beautiful house in its private setting on the edge of the world. The home is perfectly situated away from other people and your closest friends will quickly become the seals that occupy the cove (they love to follow you around when you're in the kayak). The beauty of the area is appreciated from the large, spacious rooms and picture windows inside the house. Outside, rolling trails take you from the back deck to several areas on the property perfect for relaxing by the sea and taking in the sunrise or sunset. Back inside the house, there is plenty of space to read a book, take a nap, or cook some freshly-caught lobster. The house is generously stocked with everything from extra bedding and towels to cooking supplies to books and movies for rainy evenings. OMG-- we will be back, for sure!!
Words can hardly describe our stay. A comfortable home, lovely views of the bay, peaceful. We stayed from 9/19-9/29 and wished we could have stayed much longer HERE for our first visit to Maine. We hope to be able to come back sometimes in the future if the home is still being offered. And last but not least the owners were wonderful. Thank You.
Beautiful property! Fully stocked, beautifully decorated, very comfortable. Loved the many cozy throws, great DVD collection, kayaking and incredible views.
So quiet and peaceful! Would definitely visit again!
The Seaside Sanctuary in Lubec was a wonderful place to truly unwind. The house & property are very well stocked with everything we needed: kitchen gadgets, movies, music, local travel brochures, linens, kayaks and loads of outdoor seating areas (we particularly liked the benches on the corner of the property near the boats). The tidal change is an amazing thing to behold and we made use of the kayaks during every reasonably-timed high tide (note: bring water socks or sandals to use if you kayak...you will be getting your feet wet!) Watching for wildlife became the focus of most of our days and we were particularly thrilled to spot the seal and otter who paddled around in front of the house. And did I mention the blueberry bushes?! We picked wild blueberries every morning to have with our oatmeal. The only time we spent off-property was a day trip to Campobello Island to see the Roosevelt summer "cottage"-- which was nice but the Seaside Sanctuary has a lot more going for it!
It was exciting to be driving thru rural countryside and then thick beautiful pine forest to reach Seaside Sanctuary. This is a beautiful home perched on the rocky shore. The bay was very quiet and mostly calm thru our entire stay. There is a tide chart which is so helpful in planning your day around kayaking adventures. We kayaked many times and sat on the spacious deck watching eagles fly back and forth, an occasional curious seal, and a very inquisitive red squirrel. There are lots of birds and is a wonderful setting for a birder such as myself. It's wonderful that there are kayaks and a canoe for use with your stay. We felt we were the only ones around for miles. The nights are dark and the sky is thick with stars. We were able to see the Milky Way. The beds are comfy. The master bedroom is spectacular with all the windows with views of the trees and the water. This room has it's own deck as well. Lubec is a quaint town with good food and stores. Monica's sells awesome chocolate as well as reasonably priced jewelry from Peru and other goodies. I did serious shopping there! Eastport should be visited as well. There are plenty of options to purchase fresh fish/lobster to cook yourself or to go out and eat. Quoddy Head Light and the bog trail is spectacular. There are lots of hikes one can do. The house has a basket full of brochures and information on the area. We would surely return to this home!!!

Another wonderful visit at a beautiful home. We felt as if we were arriving home rather than at a rental property. The owner had made many upgrades since our last visit and is continually upgrading the house and property. All the comforts of home are available and Lubec has shops that can accommodate what ever you forgot to bring from home. The area is slow paced and quiet, but you will find plenty to do and many places to explore. The house is very well equipped, spotlessly clean, and exceptionally comfortable. We saw beautiful birds, wildlife, and even a mother deer and fawn right out the window. It is very clear that the owner care very much about the house and wants you to feel like a guest and not a tenant. I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a better property to rent in the area. Thank you so much for sharing your "sanctuary" with me and my family. We will be back!

England's monosyllabic opening batsmen can be their most monotonous. Which sounds like a criticism but for those sitting in the dressing room, whether they be coaches or fast bowlers eager to put their feet up, monotony is a wonderful virtue.
How they love batsmen who occupy the crease with the tenacity of a dog with a bone, the ones who methodically treat every ball on its merit.
Thus the bowlers can rest relatively easily. They know how these gorgeous batsmen will play and this pleases them; they do not want any surprises.
This helps to explain why Alastair Cook is so popular with his bowlers. He has had a modest series but he has not deserted first principles: leave the wide ones, block the straight ones, stick to the hardy perennial scoring shots, the clip off the legs and the cut (that we have seldom seen this summer because the Australian pacemen have doggedly denied him the chance to play his favourite shot).
However, the system did not work perfectly here because Cook elected to leave a straight ball shortly before tea. Thus Jackson Bird took his maiden Ashes wicket, just reward for his sticking to simple conservative virtues, the long-established method of his victim.
Cook had battled away for almost four hours. It was never pretty but just before his dismissal there had been signs of fluency; he had even essayed a cover drive against Shane Watson and the ball sped to the boundary, causing raised eyebrows from the bowler and the slip cordon.
Cook has seemed more relaxed since the retention of the Ashes at Manchester. As the captain, he is forever confronted by a microphone under his nose; it is not obviously a part of the job he savours; it is a duty.
But he has addressed several issues openly and impressively. He was combative about the Channel 9 allegations over bat-tampering; he was forthright about the standards required of English cricketers when asked about Monty Panesar's problems down at Hove.
More relaxed Cook may be but this did not reduce the fierceness of his determination to grind his way out of a barren patch on a surface that hardly encouraged silky stroke-play.
Cook, as is well known, is prepared to play the long, unglamorous game, to stay at the crease and take the runs that come rather than being seduced into a greedy pursuit of them.
For years the same qualities have been attributed to Jonathan Trott but he appears to have undergone something of a metamorphosis.
His strike rate in this series exceeds that of Kevin Pietersen, let alone Cook or Joe Root. It is 58 per 100 balls as opposed to Pietersen's 52. This is a new script.
Like Cook, Trott could not produce the major innings but it would not have taken him anywhere near as long to do so. Once the advent of Trott at the crease prompted knowing punters to go off to refill their glasses in the knowledge that he would still be there on their return, having tickled a few singles.
That has changed. Trott has been purring along in this series. He has looked a class act, shuffling on to the front foot and driving on either side of the wicket or flicking the ball down to fine leg.
Against Nathan Lyon he soon played an impudent paddle sweep from a ball outside the off-stump to pick up four more runs to long-leg.
So the runs have flowed with Trott at the crease but not for very long. Maybe, unlike the bulk of his colleagues, his form is too good. Sometimes – though this observation stems more from anecdotal evidence than personal experience – a batsman can feel almost invincible at the crease. The ball speeds away from the middle of the bat so easily that there do not appear to be any pitfalls. A false sense of security is created; the usual precautions do not feel necessary.
It may well be that Trott has been batting in this mode throughout the series. He has not tried too many extravagant strokes but he has motored along before getting out to general surprise.
Friday was a case in point. The delivery from Lyon was a perfectly respectable one but it contained no demons. Trott, anticipating the single for his fifty, was confident that he could clip the ball away to a gap on the leg side rather than simply defending it. Perhaps he was too confident.

The Asian American Film Lab Workshops Chakra Media Group's Screenplay BREACHED
On November 8, 2012, the Asian American Film Lab workshopped Chakra Media Group's new screenplay, "Breached," which reached the 2nd round of the 2013 Sundance Institute|Mumbai Mantra Writers Workshop.
Chakra Media's previous feature film "QuarterLife Crisis," stars Lisa Ray (Academy nominated Water), acclaimed comedian Russell Peters (Sourcecode)
The Film Lab begins its Unfinished Works programs with a table read of the screenplay, performed by professional actors. The cast of the November 8th reading consisted of:
Michele Ang - http://www.acirclespinning.com/
Jennifer Betit Yen - http://www.imdb.com/
Perry Tsao - http://www.imdb.com/
Monisha Shiva - www.monishashiva.com
Geeta Citygirl - http://www.GeetaCitygirl.com
Jinn S. Kim - http://www.imdb.com/
Kamran Khan - http://www.imdb.me/
Imran Javaid - www.Facebook.com/
Marissa Carpio - http://resumes.actorsaccess.com/
Ron Voz - https://www.imdb.com
Julie Pham - http://www.imdb.com/
Following the reading, Film Lab Unfinished Works coordinator, Jean Goto, led and moderated a constructive workshop of the screenplay, utilizing the Liz Lerman technique. Screenwriter, Genevieve Castelino, stated:
"Workshopping a script is one of those frightening but necessary experiences in a writer's journey: you put your beloved baby in front of a room full of people and ask them to judge it. A writer wants a room full of supportive, perceptive and well informed people to give you honest and constructive critique of your work. At the end of it you want to be so fired up, so inspired, that you can't wait to get home to that otherwise dreaded rewrite. That's what the AAFL Unfinished Works did for our screenplay BREACHED. The Liz Lerman workshop technique they use is so precise and insightful in identifying both strengths and weaknesses.
This is how supportive they are - the day after the reading we are still getting emails from people writing in thoughts and ideas that came to them after they left the reading. We can't thank the Asian American Film Lab enough for giving us this platform to share our work."

The Arlinco PropheciesMature
Another tale about saving the world :)
I opened my eyes and attempted to stretch in my cramped shelter. As I banged my wings and nose, I remembered where I was. Blinking wearily, I assessed the situation. It was time to come out of hiding and find my mistress and our brethren. I sighed, it had been quite fun as a rock, tumbling down streams; still, it was time to come out. My thousand years of waiting was over. I stretched out my long neck as far as I could in the confined space and attacked the hard shell of my protection. My front claws ripped at the tough surface, my back claws having already torn the membrane to shreds. I unfurled my wings, pushing against the sides and swung my tail back and forth in the limited space. At last I heard a satisfying crack and stopped, a current of gentle evening air working its way into my shelter. Gently now, I forced the crack wider, into a large hole that I squeezed through. I attempted to roar with triumph but only a loud squeak escaped my lips. I was still too young. I coughed once, twice, and tried again. A heart-chilling roar leapt up, out of my throat, echoing on the mighty mountains surrounding me, or at least it did in my imagination, what really came out was another embarrassing squeak. Blinking, I looked around me. Boy, had the landscape changed! Instead of the rolling hills and grassland my mother had whispered to me when I was just laid, there were towering mountains leading down into a valley with a vast river surrounded by forest. All different colours glowed at me in the evening sun as I spied the smoke furling upwards from the settlement on the opposite side of a lake that the river flowed through. I roared again and, forgetting myself, dived forwards, stretching my wings. My glory ended with a bang and a cloud of dust as I tumbled down the mountain, rocks falling with me. When the world finally stopped rotating, I shook myself. I started to walk forwards and stopped, my back left leg flooding with pain. Astonished, I looked back. A rock had pierced the scales in my thigh. I sighed and limped onwards. This wasn't going to plan.
I brushed through the undergrowth, pushing the vivid colours aside, heading in a vague direction of the river. Stumbling, I leapt into a stream that had just appeared in front of me, feeling the healing sting of my leg. I drank fast before climbing back out and staring at my reflection, the bright scarlet eyes staring back at me and the glistening red scales reflecting a thousand images. My nose tentatively touched the hard tip on my reflected nose used for breaking the egg I had stayed in for a thousand years. My soon to be powerful bat-like wings extended and flapped once, raising ripples but not raising me. I sighed. This wasn't going how I'd imagined at all. I sat down, watching my scaly legs follow suit in the water. Suddenly there was a dart of silver under the water. Automatically reacting, my head plunged into the shining water and snapped it up, chewing before I realised. It tasted nice, trout, my memory called it. Then I tasted the metallic taste of blood and for some reason felt badly about killing the poor creature. I felt an impulse to make a cairn, so I did, laying a broken scale that had fallen off my thigh under it. No blood had been spilt, just as well for when I looked around, I saw the special Lamai, more commonly known as Priest's Blessing flowers. Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me and turned, hissing. A human girl appeared out of the silvery-white flowered bushes and stopped both in amazement and fear, her fiery red hair swinging wildly. I stopped hissing. Was this her? "Hello" she said, banishing her fear. I blinked. Humans usually had to be taught how to speak properly, instead of that horrible squawking that they use to communicate, no emotion in it. "Hello?" she asked again.
"Hello, human" I said, "Where did you learn to speak?"
"I was brought up speaking like this," her fluid body gestures told me. This was really unlike last time. Last time, I had wandered into a village and almost everyone had run away screaming! The girl I was supposed to find had been petrified that I knew her name and it took me ages to get her to listen. Oh well. Maybe this would work out after all. "Arelia I presume?" I grinned.
Arelia gasped and her fear returned, it appeared it would not be as easy as i had presumed. Well the experience proved the limit of her knowledge but at least I didn't have the added hassle of having to teach her to talk! "H…how did you know my name?" her movement stuttered. I sighed.
"Arelia. Lucky guess? Can you perhaps tell me about yourself?"
"Oh, ok," she smiled, instantly trusting me, "well, I'm an orphan, I never knew my mother and father but Bruce says I must have know them at some point…"
"Bruce?" I interrupted
"Yes, Bruce, Bruce the hermit. I'll take you to see him. Later. Please don't interrupt again. Anyway, I was found in a clearing in the middle of a forest. Just me, alone. I was taken by Diego, he's the leopard who found me, to see Horace, the wisest of the owls. He said that my name must be Arelia." I nodded, that made sense "I was brought up by the animals, learning to speak like this. Then one day I got taken to see Bruce. He didn't understand me at first and was highly unobservant of the gestures I was speaking with. Then he taught me the human language, it's a bit boring really, all words and no actions. I really don't get the point. Anyway, I've lived in the forest for my entire life and all the animals know me. This is my water source and no killings are allowed here – it's a sanctuary" she finished off, taking a deep breath after her blabbering.
"I noticed" I muttered guiltily, wondering why she was talking so fast.
"Huh? What do you feel guilty about?" I quickly changed my expression, this girl was good, but at least she hadn't seen the cairn. "Will you tell me about you now?" she asked eagerly.
"I am Alroth, and that is all you need to know…apart from the fact that…no, it is too early." Geez, why did I say that? Oh well, at least it will keep her guessing! "Come, show me this wise owl!" I may even be able to teach him something…
Sighing, Arelia lead the way. As I followed at her heels I realised that really it should be the other way around. The last time, it was I that had found her and I had had to look longer so had grown more. "What are you anyway?" asked Arelia, startling me out of my thoughts.
"Dragon" I replied. I mean honestly! The cheek of some people! Ah well, she was still young.
"What's that?"
Ok, now I was worried. How could she not know about Dragons!?! I was really lost for words. Instead I mumbled an excuse about telling her later. This had never ever happened before. My mind reeling, we trudged on. After an hour of silence and trekking through the forest, we stopped in front of a massive oak. "We're here." She whispered as a tweet came from above, accompanied by a hum as a humming bird swooped down and hovered above her head. "Hi Arelia! Come on up! I'll get him," it sang.
"Thanks Louisa" she chirped back. I groaned, brilliant, now I had to climb a tree. Sighing, I tested my wings again. Nope, there was no alternative. I snarled and leapt at the tree, digging my claws in, and started up after the human turned monkey. When we eventually got to the top, I was able to look out over the whole range of greens and blossoming pinks of the forest. I followed the eager Arelia into a hole concealed in the trunk. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I saw an elderly owl, presumably Horace, and Arelia with her arms around him. "Greetings, Dragon Alroth," croaked Horace.
"Greetings, Horace, Dragon Guardian," I replied in the same formal way before breaking out in a grin as Arelia took her arms from around Horace and sat there in astonishment. "Will you tell me what I've missed?" I enquired
"Yes, great evil has come to this land…"

People said it was crazy, that the wind would drown the singers, that everyone would freeze – but there wasn't one spare place in the improvised 1800-seat auditorium on the shingle.
At 8.45pm a Mosquito fighter roared low along the beach, then looped the loop and shot off into the distance. And that touch grounded us: in the period when Britten conceived the opera, and at the centre of its world, with the local audience watching a drama starring their own not-so-distant ancestors. A chill wind was blowing, and the sky looked threatening.
The real-life courtroom in which the opening inquisition took place was just behind us; the fictional one was on a crazy simulacrum of the Aldeburgh seafront, with boats up-ended and the decking twisted and torn as though by a tsunami. The sound of the pre-recorded orchestra hung in the air while Grimes and his hostile interlocutors – the soloists miked so we didn't miss a word - fought their battle with infinitely more vividness than they had previously done in the concert hall.
No one was spot-lit, so what we got was a panorama creating a very different effect from the conventional opera-house one. Giselle Allen's Ellen Orford and David Kempster's Balstrode were brilliantly delineated, and Alan Oke's Grimes had a searing intensity, but they were just tiny figures in a landscape dominated by two inexorable and immutable characters – the community itself, and the sea.
Tim Albery's direction constantly reinforced this as the townsfolk hauled boats up the beach, mended nets, did their laundry, and decorously filed into church. And despite the cold he was aided by the elements: as Steuart Bedford's band launched into Britten's storm music, a real storm seemed to be brewing, while the dying sun touched the clouds with pink in a sudden effect no man-made lighting could have achieved. But the real storm didn't materialise, allowing the drama to assert its own hyper-reality as darkness fell and sea-mists softened the outlines of the set: like King Lear's poor, bare, forked animal, this Grimes sang his heart out and went submissively to his death while the world, propelled by the tender cruelty of Britten music, just went on turning.
Opera-house productions of Peter Grimes will come and go, but for me – and probably for everyone else at this extraordinary spectacle – none will hold a candle to what we witnessed under a black sky, in a biting wind, by the water's edge.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I got pulled over in my friends car, but i couldn't find the proof of insurance and his tags where expired. I really dont know if he has insurance. I was given a citation and now I have to go to court. Am I at fault? I know i was driving but its not my car. To add insult to injury i only have my intermidiate license, so any points added to my license, i can get it taken away. Somebody please help me!
A few things you should know or think about:
First, make sure you go to the hearing.
Second, if you have auto insurance, it typically covers you when you are driving another's vehicle, i.e. the insurance "travels" with you. Check your policy. Should you have that proof of insurance with you? Yes.
Third, if you were driving a car with expired tabs, the court likely will determine that you should have known that.
Fourth, explain about your intermediate license to the judge...this is why you want to make sure you go to the hearing, and the fact that you have your own insurance, i.e. you act responsibly, and respectfully request that the citation be dismissed. In some states, officers do not show up for the hearing, which is an automatic dismissal.Ask a similar question

The addition of Erin Holmes & Lewis Johnson
Fear. It pulses through my veins at the thought of The Bunker. Oh, sure, I've been invited to it, I have my rightful place there, but the sheer idea of it sends shivers up my spine.
You see, in imagining The Bunker, I have to confess to not being too creative. In my head, it's a small metal room full of other people deemed "worthy" of life. Other strangers who will look and judge, all trying to work out why a simple girl like me has warranted such a place. And the answer? Well, I just don't know.
Taking a deep breath and tightening my hold on my hang bag, I begin the walk down the dark, eery corridor towards the guard. He looks up and smiles, I guess my unease is apparent by the grey tinge to my skin.
"Erin..Erin Holmes."
His eyes scan down the clipboard in front of him, his face still turned up at me. Feeling suddenly nauseous, I looked around the corridor, wishing I didn't have to be here right now. Wishing none of this had ever happened.
"I'm sorry Miss Holmes, there must be some kind of mistake. You aren't on this list."
"That can't be! I have the very let-"
"Hey, officer, she's with me!" I turn at the voice which holds more authority then I could ever dream off and gasp. The honourable Lewis Johnson is running down the corridor, his glasses running steadily towards the end of his nose.
"Of course Mr Johnson, I'm sorry for my mistake." The guard says, ticking off Lewis' name on the sheet he has and directing us towards a door. I, however, stay glued to the spot, generations of Holme's stubbornness burning in my blood. I will not go anywhere with that man.
Naturally, though, Lewis knows me well enough to know this. He takes tight hold of my arm and pretty much throws me first into the room they call The Bunker....

You told me to but I really don't want to
- New Love Grows on Trees by Pete Doherty
"You seem to have caught my brother's eye," the tall, brown haired, fair skinned Original said with a hint of amusement in his voice she instantly found irksome. "I certainly wasn't expecting it at all. Didn't know his taste in women could change. Not even after a millennium."
She wanted to pretend she didn't have any idea about what he was talking about; she did not even bother glancing at his direction. Instead, she carefully picked up her glass of bourbon from the counter, bringing it slowly on her lips to down the amber liquor in one go. She won't flinch if she can help it. 'Sometimes silence is the best response you can give', she remembered Damon telling her once.
The lad who was currently situated a few seats away from her at the bar gave her a devious smile, his dimples showing. She caught the expression on his face from the corner of her eye and she just couldn't help but notice the similarities between him and the stupid old hybrid who has been plaguing her mind ever since he had saved her life.
"Whatever happened to the fierce young woman who defiantly spoke to my brother a fortnight ago?" She turned her upper body to his direction, her gaze taking in his features fully. Now that statement seemed to have finally gotten her attention, he thought to himself. "Cat bit your tongue?"
"Whatever happened to your manners?" Caroline snapped, raising her eyebrows, challenging him. "Oh, right, apparently, centuries of sleeping in a coffin does that to you." She stood, hastily taking her blood red clutch bag with her, before striding away from him, clearly not having the patience to deal with another troublesome Original family member right now.
He instantaneously moved in her direction then stopped right in front of her, completely blocking her way. His swift movements could not have been recognized by a mere human. "Well, then, since we haven't been formally introduced to each other yet, my name is Kol," he took her soft hand in his, placing a chaste kiss on her knuckles, letting his lips linger there for a moment until she pulled away, taken aback by his actions yet all the more aggravated. "Am most definitely pleased—"He used as much bravado in saying the word pleased to make her all the more riled up, as if she couldn't get any madder, "to meet you sweet Caroline." He did not miss the way her cheeks turn slightly rouge in colour with the way her name easily rolled of his tongue. "You'd certainly make a nice little plaything," he added smirking, his tone playful.
Something about the way he said it made her self-control falter but before she could even hit him, he had already grabbed her wrist roughly making her gasp in pain.
"Now, where are your manners, love?" He calmly said but his tone was mocking. Something told her she should be scared at the moment, not that she wasn't yet; after all, she was the one who's in a compromising position with her back on his chest, his fingers still grasping her wrist. He can get intimidating when he wants to be and his calm demeanour is just a prelude to something else entirely… idiosyncratic. According to Damon's recount of his brief encounter with Klaus's brothers, Elijah claims Kol is the crazy one, which is an understatement to say since everyone in their family appears to be manic.
"I'm not the one who's eavesdropping in on other people's conversations," she retorted, elbowing him on his chest. She knew the action did not faze him at all; however, it was enough to distract him so that she managed to get away from his hold. She was grateful that no one has seen her using her vampire speed in the process. It would be a pain in the ass to compel all the patrons in the vicinity if that had been the case. "And just so you know, I am not anyone's plaything," she confidently added, whipping her blonde hair, her companion secretly enjoying the scent of coconut and vanilla filling his senses.
"But you are my brother's pet. Tell me, my dear, are you keeping your interactions with Klaus a secret? 'Cause if you are then you shouldn't have to anymore considering the non-reaction of your friends seeing the two of you dancing together." Caroline's demeanour changed upon hearing his words and Kol felt somewhat displeased with himself when he saw a flash of hurt crossing her features but he quickly hid it with a taunting smirk. "Aside from that insignificant human my beloved sister seemed to be fond of," he finished.
She let out a defeated sigh, "Can't you just cut to the chase and tell me what you want from me?"
Kol smiled again with that charming yet deceiving smile of his that she could not help but associate with his other siblings'. "I'm beginning to understand why my brother finds you captivating so much that he acts like a bashful teenager around you," he said, recalling the way Klaus complimented her on her beauty, however tacky that had been. He tried to stop himself from chuckling, which earned him a puzzled look from his companion. "It highly amuses me how embarrassing he gets with those failed attempts at impressing you."
"Again? Eavesdropping much?" Caroline retorted, rolling her eyes at his speech. If she were any other girl, she would have been flattered by an Original Hybrid's growing interest in her but she wasn't and she knows better.
Kol ignored her comment and continued with what he was intending to say, "You have fire burning inside of you, my dearest Caroline." He closed the distance separating them; he ran his fingers along her cheekbone to her jaw yet before she could even pull away, his touch was already gone, replaced by a gush of wind blowing in her direction.
Just when she thought he was finished with what he wanted to say as she watched him casually walking away, he turned around to face her again. He held her gaze for a second, as if he was reading her thoughts. "The more you try to escape him, the more he's going to want you."
He only stood there, trying to gauge her reaction. After a moment of silence, she replied, with conviction, "I would rather die."
He certainly wasn't expecting that answer yet he couldn't ignore the seriousness in her expression as she said it. On the other hand, he knows Klaus would do anything to get what he wanted and even death couldn't stand in his way. He sees it clearly now. Why this baby vampire fascinates his older brother so much. He instantly felt the urge, the strong desire, to have her for himself, to make her yield to him, only him, his brother be damned. "No," he said in finality, with as much resolve as her, if not more. "You would rather be mine."
And with that, he was gone, leaving Caroline in the middle of the room. She hadn't realized how long she's been holding her breath when she finally heaves a sigh. She blinked her eyes for a moment, trying to recollect her thoughts. Her heart was beating loud and fast in her chest and if she hadn't been dead for a while now, she was certain she might have gotten a heart attack at this instant.

ChromaLUME™ Plasma Light Source Revolutionizes O.R. Illumination
BFW, Inc.
ChromaLUME™ Plasma Light Source Revolutionizes O.R. Illumination
BFW's ChromaLUME™ Turbo plasma light source is the first innovation in high-intensity fiber-optic surgical headlight and lighted instrument illumination technology in more than two decades.
ChromaLUME™ Turbo is the most intelligent means to ecologically minded, energy efficient and functionally stable illumination for the operating room offering an unprecedented 10,000-hour lamp that provides sunlight equivalent (5,800 Kelvin) light – equaling and exceeding 300 Watt Xenon, the current industry standard, while affording considerable operational cost savings to hospitals and surgical centers.
Manufactured in the USA by BFW™, ChromaLUME™ Turbo introduces LIFI (Light Fidelity), a ground-breaking solid-state plasma bulb that eliminates decaying electrodes, while producing longer lasting whiter and brighter illumination with safer and more consistent high intensity, full spectrum output than xenon or metal halide bulbs.
According to BFW President/CEO Lynn R. Cooper, "With 38 years of experience in the industry, our engineering team decided to not push xenon beyond its limits as a surgical illumination application. It is time to introduce the next innovation in dynamic surgical lighting."
BFW ChromaLUME™
ChromaLUME™ Turbo offers unmatched, innovative features:
o Unprecedented 10,000 or MORE Hours of Consistent, Intense Lamp Life
In Normal Mode LIFI® technology produces in excess of 170,000 LUX or 17,000 foot-candles, while in Turbo Mode the light output can be increased to exceed 200,000 LUX or more than 20,000 foot-candles for at least 10,000 hours
of use.
o LIFI Plasma Stays Bright, White While Xenon or Metal Halide Decays
Unlike xenon or metal halide lamps that lose intensity and color temperature after 100 hours of use, LIFI has no eroding electrodes and remains consistent throughout the life of the lamp while using one-third less energy.
o Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) = $0
LIFI® plasma bulbs last up to ten times more than xenon, eliminating the high cost of changing bulbs every 500 to 1,000 hours, saving the end-user up to $30,000 or more in the cost of ownership during the unit's operational life span. TCO over a life span of 10,000 hours of the use for the ChromaLUME™ Turbo is $0 excluding initial capital investment.
o Extended Life of the Unit
LIFI plasma technology eliminates conventional failure modes and excessive heating associated with xenon and metal halide systems. The result is unprecedented reliability, significantly reducing cost of ownership and increasing up time.
BFW™ ChromaLUME™
o Ergonomic Design
With the surgical suite in mind, ChromaLUME™ Turbo offers flat membrane touch pad controls prohibiting build up of debris or contaminants on the unit, a low-profile four-port rotating turret accommodates most fiber optic cables, and digital screen readout indicates lamp life and intensity for easy assessment. ChromaLUME™ Turbo is constructed with the finest high-tech heat resistant materials and components that significantly contribute to longer life and up time
o Centralized Integration Compatible Serial port in the unit enables operation of the light source from a centralized computer control system location in the OR and provides operational maintenance information
o Stable and Flicker-free
ChromaLUME™ Turbo offers an extremely stable light output with no flicker or variation in intensity. As a result, signal-to-noise ratio is enhanced for sensitive applications requiring visualization and digital imaging such as use with the BFW™ Thru-the-Lens Headlight Video Imaging System, endoscopic, laproscopic and microscopic procedures.
BFW ChromaLUME™
The BFW™ ChromaLUME™ Turbo Headlight System includes BFW's new XtremeBeam™, its 4th generation fiber optic headlight – an industry breakthrough in high-comfort ergonomics with the level of performance, engineering, design and technological advancements expected by the most demanding surgeon.
The New XtremeBeam™ Fiber Optic Headlight Offers Innovation and Comfort:

o Lever-actuated, fully adjustable iris precisely controls spot size. Made of new (not recycled) stainless steel leaves that will not degrade surpassing the performance of silver mirrors found in other headlights
o BFW's signature 4.75 mm translucent blue fiber optic cable, with more than 9,000 strands of optic-grade glass fiber, delivers an incredibly high transmission of light. The fiber count in our cable affords usability with 30% damage
o Custom molded sturdy dual adjustment headband with Breathe-o-Prene™ padding to absorb and wick off sweat while ensuring the "Ultimate Comfort Fit™." Lightweight Sport model is available for minimal headband interference
o PRODUCTS AVAILABLE PENDING 510(k) CLEARANCE

Fish Tales
The story of one family and how it changes....still a work in progress so please be patient :) thanks
My brothers and I were born and raised in Woodbank, and so was Mama. She was the youngest daughter of the county hospital's head doctor and his wife, Miz Stacy, who spent most of her time organizing church functions and directing the choir. Both my grandparents believed that country life was far superior to city life, and they wished to raise their family in a quiet country nest with old-fashioned conservative values. Grandpop and Gran Stacey had bought a small Woodbank farm soon after they were married, but had leased it out after their children were born and instead chose to occupy a small brick house in town. It's lucky for them that they didn't sell the farm, because an oil contractor offered them a good amount of money to pump oil out of the fields. The money from that, along with Grandpop's salary, was plenty to make payments on the two houses and raise their four children, two boys and two girls.So my grandparents made a good living in Woodbank, and their children grew in a small town, far out of reach from the dangers of the urban world.
One by one, my mother watched as her older siblings grew up and left the nest to make livings for themselves. Uncle George applied to the Air Force Academy right out of high school, and rarely visited home. Mama often talked about her eldest brother, a pilot stationed in Afghanistan, but I had never met him. Uncle Richard, on the other hand, I had. As the second oldest of Mama's siblings, Richard had often felt lost in his brother's shadow. As a result, he had often tried to outdo his brother, and was by far the more outgoing and vivacious of the two. In high school he had studied longer, flirted harder, and teased his younger sisters more mercilessly than George had. He now lived in Seattle where worked as an orthopedic surgeon, making good money, and often returned to Woodbank to see his parents.
Mary Ann was my mother's sister. She was two years older than Mama and was, in some ways, the black sheep of the family. My grandparents rarely talked about Mary Ann. That is, they never talked about her the way they talked about George and Richard, proudly sharing the latest scoop on their sons' sucessful careers to their friends at church barbeques or coctail parties. "Richard won doctor of the year again for his new advances in hip surgery," they'd gush. Or, "George is the top of his class in the academy." Mary Ann was different. When friends asked about her, my grandmother would smile wanly and say, "Oh, Mary. She's just fine. So tell me, dear, have you heard about the church social the Ladies' Aid is hosting next month?"
It wasn't that Mary Ann was bad, Mama explained to me. It's just that her ideas about some things were very different from those of my grandparents. Both my uncles had established themselves financially before they even thought of marriage and had chosen educated, successful women as their partners. Mary Ann graduated high school with honors just like her siblings had. At her parents' request, she had applied to Stamford University, and then promptly declined when she recieved her acceptance letter. At nineteen, she met and married a freelance novelist from Chicago. He dreamed of traveling the earth and writing down everything he saw, and he drew Mary Ann into his adventurous world. They live somewhere in Guatemala now. I haven't seen her since I was a baby, but she and Mama were very close. The pictures of Aunt Mary Ann that she keeps in the living room show her as a small, pretty young woman with large brown eyes and curling dark hair. She looks a lot like my grandmother did when she was young.
By the time Mama was seventeen, all three of her siblings had chosen different paths and were off in the world. She still lived in town with my grandparents, and had never been farther away from home than the next county over. One day my grandfather lifted his newspaper at the breakfast table and said, "Susan, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
Her answer surprised all three of them. "I want to live on the farm."
And she did.

In Jersey, good Lao food is
hard to find—except in Maywood
Photography by Clay Williams
A prominent notice on the menu and
specials whiteboard warns customers
about the spicy dishes—you can specify
a spice level from one to five. If you ask
for number three or higher, and you
haven't visited before, Samlane will visit
your table just to make sure you know
what you are in for.
When Samlane Sysounthone welcomes you, don't be fooled by her broad smile. Behind that sweet, grandmotherly greeting is a chef who delivers a powerful cuisine unlike anything else in New Jersey.
Samlane and her husband Soubanh do the cooking at Pho Thai- Lao Kitchen in Maywood, the only New Jersey restaurant I have found devoted to Lao cuisine. The Lao region of Southeast Asia straddles the Mekong River in Laos and northeastern Thailand.
Soubanh is from the Laotian capital Vientiane, while Samlane is from the Isaan region of Thailand, where the couple met and married. The cuisine of Laos is distinct from the food of neighboring Thailand and Vietnam. Less sweet than most Thai cooking and more assertive than many Vietnamese dishes, Lao cooking embraces sour, bitter and spicy flavors, featuring citrusy galangal (a ginger-like rhizome); green herbs like lemongrass, cilantro and mint; fiery Thai chilies; and pungent fermented fish sauce.
Soubanh and Samlane emigrated in 1980 with their five children to northern New Jersey, where they began catering events at Thai temples in Bergen County. New Jersey's Lao population is relatively small and Lao restaurants are difficult to find east of the Mississippi. So with the help of family members—their son Chandara and daughter-in-law Achara are the owners—the Sysounthones opened their first restaurant in Maywood in June 2011.
In a narrow corner building just off Route 80 on Maywood Avenue, Pho Thai-Lao Kitchen's small dining room has only 14 tables. Look for the white sign outside with "Pho" on a yellow leaf. Inside, colorful decorations represent a mix of Thai and Lao culture. Service is unhurried and very friendly. Feel free to ask questions. In the tiny kitchen behind the dining room, Soubanh mans the grill while Samlane works her magic with fresh ingredients. "All of her recipes she learned from her grandmother," Soubanh points out. Samlane makes all the sauces and marinades from scratch, including a noteworthy fermented fish sauce that gives many Lao dishes their punch. Many preparations are time-consuming. The wonderful sour fish (pla som), for example, is washed ten times as it marinates and pickles.
Left: Homemade spice paste; Right: Pla som tod
The Pho Thai-Lao menu lists appetizers and noodle soups, and has separate Thai and Lao sections. The Thai dishes, like pad thai and red or green curry, are prepared with less sugar and coconut milk than you may be accustomed to at other Thai restaurants. Tom yum, as an appetizer or main course, is an intensely spicy, sour and salty soup flavored with lemon leaf and lemongrass. Kaffir lime gives the beef noodle soup—a steaming bowl of Vietnamese-style pho filled with meatballs, beef slices and thin rice noodles—a lovely sour tang. When my family visits, I seek out unusual Lao items from the menu or specials board. The Lao dishes emphasize sour over sweet, and do not feature coconut milk. Try a Lao crepe of chicken and bean sprouts with crispy rice flour and rice noodles. Many plates, like the papaya salad (som tum), are served at room temperature.
The crispy fried rice with pork sausage (nam khao), to be scooped up with lettuce leaves, is a crunchy rice–lover's dream, flavored with peanuts, scallions, mint, cilantro, chilies, lime and Samlane's fish sauce. Any of the spicy-sour larb dishes with meat or fish deliver the spectrum of Lao flavors. Larb uer, chopped morsels of beef and tripe with plenty of scallions, is an excellent introduction. Other Lao menu items include gob kratiem (crispy frogs' legs in garlic sauce) and e-saan "fermented" spare ribs or sausage. The dish that really stands out, however, is pla som tod, a grilled whole red snapper "pickled" in Lao fish sauce and salt, presented on a bed of sautéed onions, garlic and vegetables. Every bite delivers an explosive salty-sour flavor unlike any fish I have tasted. The numbing effects on the tongue call to mind the sensations triggered by fiery Szechuan peppercorns. Most dishes come with sticky rice, served in distinctive individual steamer baskets. Traditionally, Lao diners eat sticky rice by hand. You don't have to.
Pho Thai-Lao Kitchen is the place to go if you enjoy spicy food the way it is served in Southeast Asia: at the upper reaches of the Scoville scale. A prominent notice on the menu and specials whiteboard warns customers about the spicy dishes—you can specify a spice level from one ("like Tabasco sauce") to five ("hot as the infamous ghost pepper"). If you ask for number three or higher, and you haven't visited before, Samlane will visit your table just to make sure you know what you are in for. "I have to double-check so the dish doesn't come back to the kitchen," she says. Spice level zero is an option, but starred menu items go no lower than one. I love spicy food and level two is all I can manage here. A level-one green curry chicken here might be considered very spicy at more Americanized Thai restaurants. On one visit, a very helpful server suggested a "1.5" spice selection to apprehensive diners. A glass of sweet Thai iced tea with condensed milk can help sensitive taste buds recover.
The precisely calibrated spiciness comes from fresh, dried and powdered Thai chilies. Every August, the Sysounthones head to a farm in South Jersey to collect 500 pounds of fresh chilies, of two varieties grown from imported Thai seeds, that they will use for the rest of the year.
For dessert, there is Thai coconut pudding (kanom krok), little rice-flour-and-coconut sweet custards cooked individually in a castiron skillet, topped with scallions. They are a little sweet, but mostly savory, and unlike anything you are used to—an apt description for Samlane's recipes and the powerful flavors of Lao food.
