O2 sensor... Code P0059
Just purchased 06 DTS. I guess the owner had taken it to autozone to have any codes cleared. About 15 miles of driving the engine light comes on. I stopped by autozone and they read the code...P0059. They said it was my o2 sensor. I drove home and checked all the fuses and they were not blown. I had a mechanic tell me if it is my o2 sensor the car will have a miss and prob get poor gas milage. I don't notice a miss in the engine and my mpg on the highway are around 26. I did look at the air filter and noticed that possibly I'm missing a clip that clamps everything together. I have 2 clips on one side and looks like there was a clip on the corner but nothing is there. Could this cause this code? If not anyone have any other suggestions I can look at before taking it into a repair shop.
Re: O2 sensor... Code P0059
An O2 sensor is not normally a big deal, they all wear out over time, usually about every 8 years / 100k miles. Sometimes if it's a downstream O2 sensor, it won't affect anything (engine will still run as normal) but if the upstream O2 sensor goes as well, you will know it. I had two bad downstream O2 sensors on an Infiniti and drove it for like a year without any problems until I had to have it emissions tested.
If the code says it's an O2 sensor, it most likely is. A dirty air filter will not trip that code.
The O2 sensor shouldn't be more than $50. Autozone will even loan you the tools needed to change it yourself. Although I don't know exactly where they are on a DTS, usually they aren't hard to get to and replace.
Re: O2 sensor... Code P0059
After going to several parts stores with various pricing from 47.99 up to 103.99 for the O2 sensor none of which had it in stock, I visited a bumper to bumper auto parts store. He looked it up, said it was an ac delco part which he told me was oem and cost 47.99. Said he could have it there by 730am the next morning. After picking up the part I dropped by a local quick lube place and they said they could put it on for me. 20 minutes and 20.00 later it was done. Stopped by autozone and asked if they could reset the code. Had to go out of town the same day, 160 miles later no engine light. And the best part I can now use the remote start. Seems to be fixed.
Re: O2 sensor... Code P0059
Good for you. (You're one of the lucky ones) ........ and there are millions of cars running around with WELL over 100,000 miles on the original O2 sensors.
Codes and gauges ???? If you want to be able to read and clear your own codes and monitor any 4 of 12 engine functions, look at a ScanGauge-II. www.scangauge.com (I use them, and in the STS I watch coolant temp, intake air temp, ignition advance and MAP (inverse intake manifold vacuum).
I used to own an 06 dts i never had to replace the 2 upstream oxygen sensor but the down stream i had to do it 2 times when i sols the car it had 245 000 milea

Just wondering what the criteria are for mods here.

Just wondering what the criteria are for mods here.
Well... have you met SIXTO yet?
Can't be too high a standard, right?
:wink: (Just kidding, love you guys- you're the best)
Lol, had few discussions with sixto before. ;)
Are you wondering how members are chosen to be moderators here?
When it is decided that additional Moderators are needed ~ Mods will nominate candidates they they feel may be suitable and then other moderators will either voice specific objections to individual selections - or approve those nominees for a vote.
Those names then go into a virtual hat.
And then depending on how many Moderators are needed we will cast a vote for two or three and the nominees with the most votes get contacted in order to find out if they are interested or not.
In short there is no way for members to request a Moderator position in order to become a forum Moderator.
Choices are decided upon based on
> How much a member participates.
> The value of their past postings.
> Their demeanor and how they treat fellow members in general.
> And lastly ~ Our superior intelligence, our impeccable ability to remain cool under fire, and finally our exceptional good looks. :hand5:
A thick skin, a long fuse, and endless patience for explaining the forum rules are among the criteria.
That rules me out. : ) Now if there was a good looks requirement.....OK maybe not there either. : )Quote:
> The value of their past postings.
> Their demeanor and how they treat fellow members in general.
Oh and their ability to talk about zombies, JD just loves to talk about zombies
(Word of caution, actually talking to JD about zombies might end up in banishment from the forum)
High fiber, gluten free diet, crayons, and a helmet.
I too wondered the same thing.
Though it probably doesn't matter to some, I must say I like the selection process.
IQ higher than 12,hung like a Gerbil,buy coffee by the ton and can hit a 6" bullseye consistently at 5 feet with a 28"bbl shotgun
The ability to free at least one hand from the straight-jacket, or be able to mouth type with a stick... :blink:

Home > Quotes > Fiction > Fiction Authors > Benson
The Collected Ghost Stories of E.F. Benson
Foreword by Joan Aiken
001. I had already read Ghost Stories of an Antiquary by M.R. James, and nearly died of delicious terror at 'Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You'
002. The heroes of Benson's ghost stories come mostly in pairs, the narrator and his friend Hugh (or Jack or Fred or Prank or Philip); they are for ever renting summer holiday houses in very agreeable and familiar coastal regions of the British Isles.
003. One wonders why, when something is nameless, it is always so much nastier?) [PN: This is similar to a note about how Poe's characters often say they can't fully capture the horror of the scene because no words could describe just how horrible it was.]
004. One of the most potent features that emerged, on this later reading, is the underlying fear and dislike of women—some women, at all events, the large, bossy, dynamic, interfering, knowing kind of woman. Benson must have been acquainted with some fearful examples of this type; or, at least, he must have known one. Perhaps, like Mrs Amworth, she preyed on adolescent boys.
005. There are women villainnesses, but no heroines.
006. About his partially autobiographical character David Blaize he comments, when the subject of sex is raised: 'The whole matter was vague and repugnant to him, and he did not want to hear or know more.'
But if you turn your back on sex, it does not vanish away, simply assumes more and more importance in your subconscious mind. It seems probable that this is what happened to Benson.
007. Benson's limping phantom embodies the same threat as the James story: that what, ultimately, haunts us, what frightens us most of all, is the doppelgänger, the obverse side of our own selves.
001. In June 1895 Benson displayed his keen interest in the supernatural when he analysed the notorious case of the 'Clonmel Witch Burning' which had taken place in Ireland only three months previously. A young Irish woman had been tortured to death by her husband, family and friends in order to 'forcibly eject an evil spirit that had taken possession of her body'. Realising that the murderers' pagan beliefs were identical to those of primitive tribes worldwide, he urged that the hideous crime ought to be called manslaughter rather than murder. Soon after Benson's article was published in the prestigious Nineteenth Century magazine, the Crown Prosecutor did indeed withdraw the charge of murder, and replaced it with manslaughter.
The Room in the Tower
PLOT: [Wiki] The story tells of a young man who frequently has nightmares, which tell of his visiting a friend's house during summer and then encountering the room in the tower, where he has to stay. The young man then is invited (in real-life) to a friend's house during summer, and he is surprised that everything there matches his strange nightmares. Eventually seeing what the room hides inside, it reveals to be a gruesome portrait of Mrs. Stone, the mother of his "friend" in his nightmares. The young man eventually encounters the true horror that the room hides… a vampirized Julia Stone.
001. 'The end of that mystery, I am afraid,' I said. 'Here's a large cat having Walpurgis night all alone.'

Battling a scandal, Britain's deputy PM under pressure in vote
By Andrew Osborn
LONDON (Reuters) - Fewer than 100,000 residents of an English town that hardly anyone outside Britain has heard of will vote on Thursday in an election that could help determine the political fate of the country's deputy prime minister and, ultimately, its government.
The poll to choose a member of parliament for Eastleigh may prove make-or-break for Nick Clegg's leadership of the Liberal Democrats, the junior member of Britain's two-party coalition.
"Most by-elections are events of only fleeting interest. Some are sufficiently dramatic to linger a while in the memory. Only a few truly matter. Eastleigh could be one of these," Peter Kellner, the president of YouGov, the pollster, said.
On Wednesday, during last-minute campaigning in Eastleigh, Clegg predicted his party was "on the cusp of a great victory".
If he is right, the pressure he is facing, from the media and from within his own party, may ease. But if his Conservative coalition partners pip the Liberal Democrats, or the UK Independence Party pulls off a surprise victory, his leadership may be challenged ahead of a party conference next week.
Many Liberal Democrat supporters have become disenchanted with their party's alliance with the Conservatives, arguing it has betrayed core values on the altar of political expediency. Much of that criticism has been directed at Clegg.
"If the Tories do win, then we may well look back in years to come as the contest that marked the beginning of the end of the current coalition," said YouGov's Kellner.

The shots were there for the taking, but the University of Redlands women's water polo team couldn't finish them off during Saturday's Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference match against Cal Lutheran.
Redlands now looks to build some much-needed momentum as the conference tournament approaches.
"We need to get our confidence back," Redlands coach Tom Whittemore said. "We need to build some momentum. The next two games will be huge in terms of seeding for the tournament. They are important for seeding and for momentum, confidence."
Redlands (10-19, 2-4) fell into the sixth spot in the SCIAC standings. Claremont is undefeated and is followed by Pomona-Pitzer, Whittier, Cal Lu and Redlands.
Redlands hosts Caltech on Wednesday and completes the regular season with Saturday's match at La Verne.
"The conference is still very close," Whittemore said. "There are still a lot of games where teams can lose and win, games that can go either way. If we win the next two, which is very realistic, I think that puts us in good position going into the conference tournament."
The Bulldogs will be in a tough spot if they drop either one of those games.
"If we lose one of those, that puts us in a tough spot for the tournament," Whittemore said. "If we win the next two, we will go to the tournament at 4-4. I think we have a chance to do that. I firmly believe we are not that far away from where we want to be."
Redlands held a 2-1 lead after the opening quarter against Cal Lu, getting goals from Deandra Van Houten and Taylor Christie.
Cal Lu rallied in the second quarter but Redlands tied the score at 3-3 on a goal by Annie Kinney. From there, however, Redlands chased the Regals for the remainder of the game. The Bulldogs trailed 5-3 at the half and, after tying the score at 5-all in the third were back to chasing Cal Lu.
"After we got it back and tied the game at 5, we had opportunities that we didn't take advantage of," Whittemore said. "We had shots that we didn't take advantage of. I thought we had some unforced errors, turned the ball over. Sometimes our mistakes led to good scoring opportunities for them."

By Gord Bowes, News staff

Many things have changed since the days when St. Jean de Brebeuf shared space with an elementary school, but alumni say the sense of family that began there continues today.

With a student body of just 450 in the first year, it was as if everyone knew each other, says, who was in the first Grade 9 class.

As the school grew, traditions were formed and rivalries against other schools began. Many graduates came back to teach and today students flock to the school, even though the current building may be a little long in the tooth and lack amenities like air conditions, says Cupido.

"It is without a doubt a family," he says.

This weekend, the St. Jean de Brebeuf family celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Four decades ago, there was a need for a second Catholic high school to serve the growing population on the Mountain, recalls Leonard Varrasso.

So in February 1974, the Catholic school board decided it would open a second high school to ease the pressure on St. Thomas More, which was at the time located on East 5th Street in the building now used by St. Charles Adult Education Centre.

Varrasso was appointed principal of the new high school and tasked with organizing the launch, including finding a site, a name and everything in between.

"We really began from scratch," he says.

In keeping with the board's habit of naming schools after the Canadian Martyrs, Varrasso's committee chose St. Jean de Brebeuf.

"Of course, he was the greatest of the Jesuit martyrs," he says.

They decided against anglicizing the name, which made for some interesting questions on the football field, says Robert Coons, who served as SJB's first student council president.

"We would be asked when playing other schools if were some new French school," recalls Coons, now a vice-principal at Brebeuf.

The new high school was housed in extra space at Blessed Sacrament elementary school on Fennell Avenue East.

About 450 students in Grade 9 and 10 attended the first year (these were the days before full funding for Catholic education). Varrasso says it was tough convincing parents and students that Brebeuf would be expanded to include the senior grades the next year.

The board did receive approval and a new home was built at 50 Lisgar Ct. for about $750,000 and opened in time for Brebeuf's second year. That building currently houses Academie Catholique Mere Teresa.

"There were outstanding leaders at the board and the school level that were committed to providing Catholic education and they found ways to respond to all the challenges," says current board chair Pat Daly.

Going from the thought approval to start a new high school to opening the doors six months later and then being in its own building 12 months later, wouldn't happen so quickly today, admits Varrasso.

"We knew there was going to be something, but we didn't have any plans for Lisgar," he says.

Ten years later, the school held 1,066 students. In 1985, the Catholic school system received full funding for all grades and, as part of a Supreme Court decision, some surplus property from public school boards.

The Hamilton Catholic board acquired Southmount from the public board; it shared the Acadia Drive building with French high school George P. Vanier.

Three years later, St. Jean de Brebeuf had full use of the building, its current home. The number of students kept growing; it peaked at more than 1,900 about five years ago. Today, it houses about 1,650.

While a new building would be nice, says Coons, the Acadia site has been well maintained and updated, with a new chapel, new library, new gym, replacement of lockers, windows and doors, a new running track and an artificial turf sports field under construction.

"The commitment to this site is clear," says Coons.

Daly, who is also the trustee for the central Mountain, says the board has spent about $7.6 million upgrading Brebeuf over the last 15 years and will continue to invest in the school, including extensive electrical upgrades in the near future.

"Our plan is to keep upgrading it so it is similar to all of our schools," says the board chair.

So is there really a difference in Glucose tabs ans Sweet Tarts?
Posted 16 February 2009 - 03:19 PM
Sweet Tarts are dirt cheap.
Posted 16 February 2009 - 03:51 PM
Easiest thing to do is -- when you have a stable BG again -- test your BG before and after one of these "sweet tarts" to see how they affect your BG... specifically how much BG increase and how quickly would they bring your BG back to normal from a hypo.

The second choice is Sweet Tarts, but you need nine candies to equal 15.4 grams of carbohydrates.
Personally, in our household we use the glucose tablets -- it's easy to keep a jar by the bedside for middle-of-the-night lows (no fumbling to open a packet of candies) and my daughter and her friends are less likely to snack on them as candy!!! She keeps a bottle of them at school and a 10-pack tube in her frontpack for the same reason.
Before we started buying glucose tablets, my late husband, who also had diabetes, used to carry around sugar packets, but they had a tendency to break open and spill in his backpack. Even when he placed them in a plastic ziplock bag, the bag would get shopworn after a few weeks and tear apart.
P.S., The cheapest place to buy glucose tablets is Costco -- even cheaper than Wal-Mart!
Posted 16 February 2009 - 11:52 PM
i do find, however, that swedish berries (raspberry shaped candy - small ones, kinda hard, not the big squishy ones) they work well as well, but since i find that they taste so good i tend to over do it...
i use powerade more often than glucose tabs because, first off, the tabs take longer than the powerade and they kinda make me gag now... the tubes of gel junk aren't too bad though, they work fast too, but you need atleast two tubes and at their price, it's too much... one powerade can last me 3 low BS episodes at less than 1.50 a bottle and the tubes are over $5 a tube...
type 1 diabetes since march 25th, 1992
Posted 17 February 2009 - 02:45 AM
i buy my glucose tabs at wal-mart and the tubes there as well... sure the candy, chocolate, junk, etc, is more tempting than using a real glucose remedy, but they don't work as fast...
Then again, I find that a small tropical juice box totaling 15g works just as fast as tabs. I also find it more pleasant and easier to drink liquid than try and masticate food. It's not exactly high on the list of priorities, but I'm getting a portion of nutrtion as well.
Different foods tend to get metabolised a little differently by differently people... so if you find that some food or other doesn't work too well for you as a hypo fix, it's very important information, but it may not apply directly to others.
I also find sports glucose powder really convenient at home, 3 teaspoons either off the spoon or mixed in half a glas of water is very cheap and low fuss.
This is not just to argue down tabs. I often use them when traveling. They are light and I have no inclination to eat them or overindulge, like I personally might with such as jelly beans. Some people might and do find them the best solution for all of the time. Fair enough - but they really are not some kind of special medicine that works heaps better above all else, as the idea, books, or marketing might imply at times. (hey, they are trying to sell a product... make money.... you know?)
My personal approach is:
- make sure your hypo fix works well for you - fast action
- make the hypo fix something you don't hate or dislike. If you don't like tabs, don't use them.
- make it something you don't love, so that you avoid making excuses or bowing to temptation
- make it something you don't find addictive
- make it something as convenient as you need it
- make it something relatively healthy, ie not chock full of additives, caffeine, saturated fats (obvious exception if you prescribe to high fat diet) refined rubbish, I think the "junk" comment does apply to a degree.
And secondary to all that, is cheapness, which may still be an important factor, of course.
That all sounds complicated, but it's a sure test to see if you have a good workable hypo fix solution
Some essentials for my blood sugar control: dosing via i:c ratio and cf • basal testing when needed • daily 40 minutes moderate exercise (or close) • carbs somewhere below 120g currently • only eating carbs and carb/fat combos that do not cause a problem spike, with or without insulin.

Sorry folks this post may be a little long but I have a few questions.
This gun (P226) may end up being my new carry gun as well as home defense and range gun. The size and weight of the 226 is not an issue for me since the gun I currently carry is one of thoes pricey steel 1911's. Height diff is .1 and length is .4 and I carry OWB.
Thought I would give a little fill in info before I got to the quetion at hand and opinions. I have never thought about Sigs untill I shot my friends and see how many Goverment agencies use them. I 've been to the LGS and held them all and the P226 feels best hands down.
In your opinion which P226 is the cream of the crop for what I'm looking for? I thought about the MK 25 but I think it was the hype of being the same gun as the Seals carry. I did alot of checking and from what I can see the only diff is the coating, the UID, rail, and anchor. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, Sigs are a new learning process for me.
I was thinking along the lines of the Elite, Enhanced elite or Tac Ops. Would you say im on the right path or no? If not could you please point out what I may be missing. Ok folks im done so please chime in and let me know what your thoughts are and help point me to the cream of the crop P226. Thanks for your help and input. For got to mention im looking at it in 9mm.

The Heartbleed Internet security bug has a scary name, but how does it affect you as a small business owner?
Here's what you should know about Heartbleed — and what you can do to protect yourself and your business.
1. What is Heartbleed?
Engineers at Google discovered the the flaw and announced it to the world on April 7 — the same day a fix became available. About 17 percent of all secure websites were affected by the bug, according to internet services company Netcraft. Other estimates found that two-thirds of all websites were at risk when the bug was first discovered.
You no doubt know that entering sensitive information into a non-encrypted website is a bad idea. If the URL doesn't begin with "https," the page isn't encrypted and hackers could potentially steal your information.
Software installed on a server encrypts the data so it can't be intercepted. One of those programs is OpenSSL, which is is widely used by businesses all over the world, including giants like Google, Yahoo, and Amazon Web Services.
A Google engineer found a vulnerability that allowed a piece of code to be attached to a routine message sent to a server. This malicious code could give hackers access to the encryption keys allowing the data to be unscrambled. In other words, the server could be tricked into giving up the unlock code to sensitive data.
2. Is it a virus?
Heartbleed is not a virus. It is a security hole specific to the OpenSSL software. It's not being replicated as a virus would, so you don't have to worry about infecting your customers or your customers infecting you.
3. Have there been any known exploits of user data?
Very few have been reported. The most notable was in Canada where a 19 year-old man was arrested for stealing Canadian taxpayer data. He used the Heartbleed bug to commit the crime.
4. How do I know if my computer runs OpenSSL?
Because OpenSSL runs on servers, individual computers aren't vulnerable. You don't have to do anything to your personal computer to protect yourself from the bug. However, some of your networking devices, like routers and network storage devices, could be affected. More about that below.
5. How about my mobile devices?
The bug does not affect mobile devices per se, but some of the apps you run on them may be cause for concern. There are reports that older versions of Android software are vulnerable. If you haven't updated your mobile devices' operating system, do so immediately.
6. I don't own servers, so why should I care about this?
Many small businesses don't have an IT department and for that reason, they likely don't own or administer servers directly impacted by the bug. It is highly likely, however, that as a small business you rent space from an internet service provider, or ISP. Some ISPs were affected.
Most major ISPs, including GoDaddy, Hostgator, and Bluehost, have already applied patches. Check with your ISP to confirm they have applied the patch.
You probably also rely on internet and cloud services for daily business operations. Do you use Dropbox, PayPal, Evernote, Box, Etsy, or Facebook apps? If you do, your data and your customers' data could be at risk. You can see a list of online services and apps affected by Heartbleed here. Many of these services were never vulnerable — that's good news.
7. What should I do to fix this?
Unless you administer your own server, you can't fix the problem. Companies around the world have installed a simple software patch that plugs the security hole.
Don't forget about devices like routers, network storage devices, and access points. Even home automation systems and cable boxes are vulnerable. For a (hopefully) complete list of network devices affected, click here. Some devices may never receive a fix, according to MIT Technology Review.
Experts advise all internet users to change their passwords. You can spend a bunch of time trying to figure out which companies were affected or you can simply change all of your passwords — which you should do regularly anyway. Some experts advise changing passwords once a month for the next three months just to be safe.
8. What should I tell my customers?
After you have conducted an internal security audit of your equipment and all services you use and made any necessary patches, reassure your customers that you are not vulnerable through a carefully worded email, a blog post, and/or a special page on your website. It's a good idea to advise your customers to change their passwords just to be safe. Finally, assure them that although this was a major security event, there is no evidence that data was compromised (presuming you have found no evidence of a breach).

You ask me if I can forgive myself? I can forgive myself....
And so begins The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains, a haunting story of family, the otherworld, and a search for hidden treasure. This audiobook is brought to vivid life by the characters and landscape of Gaiman's award-winning story. In this volume, the talents and vision of two great creative geniuses come together in a glorious explosion of color and shadow, memory and regret, vengeance and, ultimately, love.
...for many things. For where I left him. For what I did.
©2010 Neil Gaiman (P)2014 HarperCollins Publishers
Rating scale: 5=Loved it, 4=Liked it, 3=Ok, 2=Disappointed, 1=Hated it. I look for well developed characters, compelling stories.
"Dark Quest"
This is a dark short story told in first person by an un-named man going on a quest to the Black Mountains. He hires a guide to take him there, disclosing little of himself or his reason for the journey. His tale unfolds slowly, bit by bit as the two travelors encounter challenges along the way, not fully trusting each other, but needing to rely on each other anyway. This slow buildup initially felt like nothing was really going on, but have patience. As pieces of each man's stories are revealed, the tension begins to mount right up to the opening of the mountain cave which is their destination. And then, as the title suggests, there is the truth.
It pains me to give anyting less than 5 stars to a Gaiman recording, but in this case it's not because of his narration, which is perfection as always. There is a musical score that plays throughout the story that often becomes more than just background. The listener's sample gives you some idea of the music. There are some parts that are more intrusive, but also many parts where the music benefits the atmosphere. But the fact that the score made itself so obvious lost one star.
"Quite Different"
I love almost all of NGs work, but this was not one of them. The back ground music and the acoustical treatment was distracting. The story was interesting and his reading was good, but missed the pace that his work usually has. I would have preferred that it had been more of a story that was told and become suspended in that world w/ out the interruption of the discordant musical track. I did like the quartet but not here.
Say something about yourself!
"Just for the experience"
If you have ever listened to Gaiman being interviewed, to his podcasts, or been lucky enough to attend one of his performance readings you'll understand the Gaiman experience. The experience goes far beyond reading one of his books. His voice is almost a magical instrument that lifts the words off the pages. I'm not an expert or even a follower of Gaiman's, but I've read a few of his novels, even a couple of his graphic novels. It was after listening to him read just a few paragraphs of The Truth Is a Cave on the radio that I went looking for the rest of the fable -- specifically, him reading the novelette himself. I wasn't looking for the end of the story, as captivating as it was, but rather being under Gaiman's spell during the journey.
He is a performance artist. His voice is like a ripple in time that harkens back to nights tucked safely under a cozy blanket, listening to a bedtime story...a huge, dark story more Grimm than Disney. I wasn't a child that closed my eyes and dreamed of princesses with golden hair or frogs that burst into handsome princes...I closed my eyes and shivered with delighted at the trolls, goblins, and witches that lived in gingerbread houses.
A trait I realized I passed onto my own grandchildren: one night I told my 3 little ones a story, embellishing as much as I could to compete with Spongebob Squarepants. With attention to their tender ages, and the fact that they each were expected to sleep in their own beds once the lights went out, I was careful to balance the scary tale with some sparkle. It was completely silent when I finished, and I waited to assess their emotional state...then the oldest child whispered, "tell us more about the bad wolves." They still ask me to tell them that story; they've heard it dozens of times, yet still want the experience. Gaiman reminds me that I still need an occasional *tuck in* experience, to feel swept away into far away lands where shivers can be delightful.
It's a short story I think best left to the interpretation of the listener. An award winning tale I found charming, brilliant in its sparseness and illusion, but I wouldn't say it is a work of staggering genius unless you can hear it told by the author. As noted by another reviewer, the music is part of the presentation. I enjoyed it because I expected it, but can understand that it might be distracting if you just want straight story: try out the sample. Trying to recreate Gaiman's lauded public performance of this piece didn't work entirely, so I recommend switching to the kindle version to see the collaboration with artist Eddie Campbell. His paintings, whatever you may think of his style, do add an additional dimension. At the price of a ticket to a performance, the book is worth paying for, keeping your credit for those $40 behemoth novels . *Also: You can find this complete novelette on line -- free to read. Audible won't appreciate that announcement, but you won't get Gaiman whisking you away -- and that is priceless.
"The greatest story-teller of our times"
While the score can be intrusive, it is also hauntingly beautiful, and perfectly sets the tone of the piece, which can be enjoyed in a single sitting. It's certainly an expensive purchase at its current price, but worth every penny. There are very few audiobooks that I would take the trouble to listen to twice, much less ten times. This is one of those rare creatures.
I have no idea how Gaiman manages to write such beautiful tales that reach so deeply into our hearts, that seem so familiar that we feel we must have heard them before, whilst knowing that we are experiencing it for the first time. I only know that he stands so far removed from any other author that he might as well be practicing a different trade. The only work he's touched that hasn't brought tears to my eyes is his unfortunate collaboration with Terry Pratchett, a fact I might have anticipated by the involvement of Terry Pratchett.
Short as it is, this is one of his best works. If you do not purchase the audiobook, purchase the print version. If you cannot afford to do that, visit the library at your earliest convenience. This is an essential experience for anyone who loves great literature.
I home-school and am married with three sons. Listening to books while I get things done (like driving) has become a favorite pass-time.
This may be the best short story, mystery-type thriller I have ever read so far. Clever and unusual. I will remember it always. I love the audio and the music paired with it. Neil's narrating is genuine. I think I will be reading more of his books.
Main character
The mood, character and color of his voice appropriately matches the need of the story.
It made me gasp.
"The Truth is...Not My Favorite Gaiman"
This book unfolds as a Folk Tale. The storyline is dark and harsh, even though the magic does prevail in the end. The novel is detail- rich, but not in a way that draws you in. The reader does, however, experience a unique fantasy storyline and his usual assortment of quirky characters. Mr. Gaiman delivers a solid performance in narration, as usual. There is music that is almost presented as a score, and did not enhance the experience for me. This audiobook lacked something that other Gaiman books have, and unfortunately, was a disappointment for me.
"Great story. Could have done without the music."
This was a really good story, and Neil Gaiman is, as always, an excellent narrator. Unfortunately, someone decided that what this story needed was an orchestra as loud as five jet engines duct-taped together. There were moments here and there when the music was in sync with the story's mood, but mostly it was like trying to listen to one person while a second pesron chatters in your other ear. That's why the book got 4 stars for performance and 4 stars overall. If you can deal with the distracting occasionally obscuring music, then I still recomend this. Otherwise, there is aleways the hardcopy.
"I listened twice."
Granted, it's a short story, but I listened twice. I never do that. Loved the book. Don't know if Gaiman writes sequels, but if he did, I would love to read more about the main character. Writing this review, I can picture the scenes he painted in my mind's eye: dark and foreboding. Loved it. Will probably listen to it again.
I like realistic books that stretch the truth and the laws of physics...and also emotionally resonant narration that doesn't suck.
"Altogether fantastic"
It's stories like this that remind me that Neil Gaiman is a deeply traditional story teller. He spins new mythology which sounds as though it's been passed down and embellished and honed over centuries. The musical part of the production really made it more of a "production" than just a reading too. I thought it set the mood beautifully.
"Great story"
I am a huge Neil Gaiman fan. His imagery is always flawless. The story itself was good and suspensful. The music went well with the story but it is too loud. It both adds and detracts from the story. There, to my knowledge, is no way to adjust it down. Would recommend.

When you are on a Britney break and don't want to get all excited about 3 people getting arrested for a quarter ounce of pot, then all you are left with is Donny Osmond. Actually, that's not quite true. If I were really at the bottom of the barrel, I could reach down and scrape a Kardashian right there on the bottom. Just grabbing the scraps.
So Donny Osmond once asked Michael Jackson for advice on how to reignite his career, and Michael told Donny that he should change his name because it was poison. Donny misunderstood and started a band called Poison and has been living a secret life as Bret Michaels ever since.
Michael Jackson obviously didn't want to share the really good advice with Donny. Michael wanted to keep the whole bleaching your skin and molesting children advice to himself because it was gold, and he didn't want to share.
Why is Donny Osmond in the news so much? Does anyone know what he's promoting? You know Donny Osmond would be a great game show host. I think that's what he should concentrate on. Forget about music. Just host game shows. Game shows and porn. I think on the Spice Channel and the other porn channels there should be a guy like the one on AMC who introduces all the classics.
Donny Osmond could say something like "In this film, made three days ago in a Valley basement, the acting by Jesse as she gets nailed by three guys is something on which she could build a career. Director Ron was worried about the lighting cast by the harsh shadows of light, but then figured f**k it, it's porn. So, now, here is Bum Sex 34. I'll see you after the show."
If you need to laugh today. I mean really laugh out loud, then click on the photo above and try and read the interviews with each singer. Michael and Donny had a long rap session and Michael had some heavy thoughts for a pretty young cat.

My TD IP has developed some leaks. It's currently installed on the Fox 1.6na out of necessity but it had been on the shelf for a while so I expected some leaks.
My biggest question is whether to redo the whole pump or only the leaks. It's leaking at the distributor head, shaft seal and cold start advance...which means it has to come off the car.
I have a complete kit so a full reseal could be done...
Also, I can't find the specifics on replacing the distributor head o-ring where it talks about turning the pump to specific location so that the springs etc don't fall out when you back-off the dist head bolts, so if anyone has that link or info lmk.

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program
October 22, 2009
Moderator: Welcome to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's Foreclosure Response podcast series. Today we're talking with Karen Leone de Nie, research manager for Community Development at the Atlanta Fed. Karen is leading the bank's study of neighborhood stabilization strategies in the Southeast, and we're going to be talking about how local governments in the Southeast are using the Neighborhood Stabilization Program to start to recover the communities that have been hit hardest by the foreclosure crisis. Karen, thanks for joining us.
Karen Leone de Nie: Thanks for having me.
Moderator: Throughout the U.S., neighborhoods, cities, and counties are facing growing numbers of vacant and abandoned homes. In response to that problem, the federal government created the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which has allocated almost $6 billion to help preserve struggling neighborhoods. Well, Karen, first off, what is the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, or NSP, as it's known?
Leone de Nie: Well, the Neighborhood Stabilization Program is really an extension of the Community Development Block Grant Program, and it was created to target funds to be used to purchase foreclosed homes and to rehabilitate and redevelop them, ideally bringing these homes back into productive use. And while the Neighborhood Stabilization Program can be thought of as an overall effort to assist communities, especially the ones hardest hit by foreclosures and vacancies, there's really two different components of it. And the first one is NSP1, and then the second NSP2, and combined they allocate about $6 billion to this effort.
NSP1 was created in July of 2008 through the Federal Housing and Economic Recovery Act, and it's known as HERA. HERA appropriated the first almost $4 billion. Then, in February of 2009, the Congress recognized that more funding was really needed to target interventions at recovering these communities, and so they authorized an additional $2 billion for NSP2 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Moderator: And what is the program intended to do?
Leone de Nie: Well, the program's really intended to stem falling housing values by targeting homes that might otherwise begin a cycle of abandonment and blighted communities. Basically, what's happening is that, as the number of foreclosures have risen from 2008 and 2009, some neighborhoods are seeing the number of vacant homes increase. And really it's a supply and demand problem because...as foreclosures ramp up, the supply of housing in a neighborhood's going up as well. And under the current economic uncertainty—the job losses as well as the rising threshold for securing a mortgage—we're seeing the demand for housing going down. Ultimately, what this means is that we're seeing vacant homes stay in neighborhoods for a very long time. The problem that we know comes with that is that, from studies and on-the-ground accounts, those rising vacancy rates have real impacts on neighborhoods. They're both driving down housing values; they're causing neglect, vandalism; they're providing opportunities for crime; but they're also slowly diminishing that sense of community for the remaining residents.
And this impact isn't limited just to the individual neighborhoods; it also strains the resources of local governments. For as property values decline, so too do property taxes. And at the same time these local governments are being pressed to deliver more and more services because they're going to be dealing with responding to code violations, potentially taking on additional maintenance, and experiencing more calls for law enforcement. So, really, what that Neighborhood Stabilization Program is intended to do is to provide funding to the local community developers to really identify locally derived and implemented strategies to stop this downward slide.
Moderator: How has the government gone about allocating the funding?
Leone de Nie: The governments allocated that funding in two different ways. The first, for NSP1, was really a needs-based formula that they developed, where they fed in a lot of data into this formula. And this data really revolves around foreclosure rates, vacancy rates, delinquency rates for mortgages, [and] also the prevalence of subprime loans in certain areas. And then they allocated the funding based on the needs that they saw in the individual cities or counties or states. As a result of that, about 309 (or actually 309) jurisdictions received funding through NSP1.
In the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta district, which includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, we received about $893 million to over 73 grantees. And, in fact, to note that in Florida, the state of Florida alone, where the foreclosure crisis is really pervasive, they received about $541 million of that 893 coming to the Southeast. The difference, though, is that there's also NSP2 that is in process right now, and allocations are still being decided for that. And in that case it was decided that we needed a competitive process—that while in NSP1 we did a risk-based or a formula process based on needs, for NSP2 the recognition was that we needed to look more broadly at where the capacity was to handle these foreclosure issues and help bring these homes back into use again. So they opened up a competitive process, and instead of it just being for local governments and state governments, those who could apply included nonprofit entities and consortia of nonprofit entities. What that also means, though, is that these consortia can bring in for-profit entities to bring that additional capacity that we need to be dealing with the magnitude of this problem. At the time of this conversation, the NSP2 funds have not been allocated yet, but they're in the works.
Moderator: Karen, can you talk a little bit about how some jurisdictions in the Southeast are using their NSP funds?
Leone de Nie: With so many jurisdictions receiving funding, and with the goal that the plans developed by these jurisdictions really reflect local needs, it means that NSP activities, especially in the Southeast and throughout the country for that matter, are as variable as the weather. To start, I think I'd like to explain kind of the nuts and bolts of what NSP dollars can be used for and maybe talk a little bit about how some of the cities and counties are using these funds.
The first is they can be used for financing mechanisms, which means that trying to get new homeowners or returning homeowners into these foreclosed homes, there's incentives that can be created, and in addition to that, better interest rates and things like soft second mortgages, loan-loss reserves that will allow or will encourage more home ownership of foreclosed homes.
The second is purchase and rehabilitation, and this is really the meat of the program. A lot of the local governments that are tackling this issue in NSP1 are purchasing—either themselves or by subcontracting with a nonprofit or for-profit entity—they're purchasing the foreclosed homes, rehabilitating them, bringing them up to code, making sure that they're truly livable and then marketing those homes for resale or for rental. Also, recognizing that the foreclosure challenge is larger than what can be accomplished in the time frame of this one program, the NSP1 has allowed for something called land banking. And what land banking does is it allows for the grantee, the NSP grantee, to purchase a property and hold it in a land bank for a length of time until such time as either the market for these properties is more viable again or to allow for additional planning for redevelopment of these properties for other uses—potentially higher-density residential uses.
In addition, NSP funds can be used for demolition. And in some cities where they've been especially hard hit by foreclosure but have had this as an enduring challenge, demolition becomes a very important tool for being able to remove from neighborhoods some of the most distressed, dangerous properties. Demolition is also being targeted in some of what are considered hot markets, or the markets that are expected to recover faster. Even there, they're finding there are several properties from long-time neglect that are required to be demolished.
And the last eligible use is redevelopment, and this can work hand in hand with demolition, with land banking. This is really thinking more long-term about what these areas should be, what would be in the best interest of those communities, and what opportunities the grantees can leverage to provide a higher quality of life for those neighborhoods.
Moderator: Who is involved in implementing these plans, Karen?
Leone de Nie: I have to go back to the variability of the plans because every jurisdiction developed their own plan and the potential to bring in a variety of actors is vast. So it just depends on which city or county you're talking about. Ideally, those involved in the plans...and implementation of NSP are really there to address that capacity issue to be able to execute in a very short time frame a large redevelopment strategy and a revitalization strategy in neighborhoods. And so those actors could be the city and county governments that are already active in community development and housing issues. They could include the nonprofits, the community development organizations that have long-term efforts in this regard, as well as community development financial institutions and other financial institutions...Many of those financial institutions are the ones that are holding these bank-owned properties now and are involved in the process of allowing NSP grantees to acquire them.
In addition, the for-profit developers are playing a role in bringing these properties back into productive use. And so, really, the key to success in NSP is to get the right combination of actors to be able to deal with the needs of these communities very quickly.
Moderator: What's the timeline for the NSP program?
Leone de Nie: The clock on NSP1 is already ticking. HUD has already given the go-ahead to grantees to obligate those funds, and they have 18 months from the time of obligation to complete their NSP1 plans. And that means that we're going to be seeing plans wrapping up in 2010 and 2011. But the clock for NSP2 hasn't started yet. But once it does, jurisdictions will have three years, and they must address at least 100 housing units using any of the eligible uses that I talked about earlier.
Moderator: Karen, how is the community affairs department here at the Atlanta Fed, and those at other Federal Reserve Banks, playing a role in NSP?
Leone de Nie: Throughout the country Federal Reserve Banks have been providing technical assistance, data, and convening relevant partners on NSP2 activities. At the Atlanta Fed, we have met with partners both in Georgia and Florida and Alabama about this issue, and we're continuing to provide assistance in a going-forward basis. But, in addition, throughout the system, we are all very interested in neighborhood stabilization strategies more broadly, not just NSP2 plans. And so a great deal of research and exploration has gone into understanding how different markets are responding to the foreclosure issues and how, by using the NSP program, they're able to overcome some of the challenges and make inroads into the foreclosure issue.
Moderator: Where can local governments and neighborhood groups go to learn more about the NSP?
Leone de Nie: For the basics on NSP, the first place to go is HUD's Web site, which is www.hud.gov. It's very important to understand this very complicated program, and HUD has done a very good job of providing great detail, including frequently asked questions, which go into great depth. In addition, the Federal Reserve Banks have all provided a foreclosure resource Web site. At the Atlanta Fed at frbatlanta.org, we have an extensive foreclosure resource Web site that provides information, both for homeowners as well as local governments and policymakers, on foreclosure challenges and their responses. But, in addition, there's a large number of players, probably more than I can name in this short time, that are being excellent resources for neighborhoods [and] for local governments that are confronting these issues and trying to leverage their NSP dollars to really bring livability and vitality back to their neighborhoods. And so, just to name a few, NeighborWorks, LISC, Enterprise Community Partners, the Housing Policy Center, and many others provide excellent resources on how to make the most in the NSP program.
Moderator: Karen, what results can you point to from NSP so far—in the Southeast, in particular?
Leone de Nie: Well, it's still very early on in the program, and some of the funding is now just being disbursed. But, as one example, Cobb County, Georgia, has already begun the process of purchasing homes and lining up home buyers. And so, at this point they have, if I'm not mistaken, five homes already purchased, 15 that I think are under contract. And what they are doing, I find, is one of the biggest challenges that some of the NSP grantees are dealing with. They have a duel interest in buying and identifying the right properties to purchase that have to be marketable, that can be rehabbed at a reasonable cost, but then also lining up qualified buyers who can secure a mortgage and who are interested in the particular homes that they're buying. So they've got to deal with both sides of this equation and do it in tandem, and I think Cobb County's showing some early signs of having success with that.
Moderator: All right, well, Karen, thanks a lot for your time today. I'm sure we'll be hearing more about these efforts going forward. And thanks for listening. For more information on foreclosures, visit the Foreclosure Resource Center on the Atlanta Fed's Web site at frbatlanta.org. This concludes our Foreclosure Response podcast on the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Thanks for listening, and please return for more podcasts.

By Gail Schmoller
After the pilot season ends and the Cannes Film Festival kicks in, many directors of photography find themselves scrambling for employment in the month of May, a historically slow time in Hollywood. Jack Anderson, whose resume includes camerawork on features like Hook and Pretty Woman and TV series such as Mad About You and Third Rock From the Sun, was thinking of this down period when he perused the ASC website for job listings last winter. One ad from a university calling for an experienced cinematographer to serve as DP for a movie made with an all-student crew leapt out at him.
Three decades earlier, as a newly minted Cornell University graduate with an MA in film, Anderson had assisted indie filmmaker Ed Emshwiller (later the dean of Cal Arts) in the making of a full-length movie with undergraduates as the crew. Anderson had trained and supervised the students and, even after he moved to the West Coast in 1975, never forgot that early experience of working with a professional director. The resulting feature, Branches, premiered at the New York Film Festival. "I remembered how great it was, how valuable to work with a professional and how much I enjoyed teaching," says the 56-year-old Anderson, a friendly man with a bald pate, full beard and twinkling blue eyes hidden under an expressive brow. "I was surprised that this Midwestern university was putting that kind of money into a film made with students. I didn't know of any other program involving professionals and students at the college level, and it intrigued me." Two months later, Anderson found himself on a plane heading east, away from the warm winds of LA towards the unpredictable spring weather of West Michigan, home of Grand Valley State University. One of 30 cinematographers from around the world who had responded to the School of Communications' ad for its Summer Film Project, Anderson had been offered the job in fairly short order. "Some of the applicants had shot commercials or independent features in New York or even Paris, but no one had as much Hollywood experience as Jack," says John Harper Philbin, assistant professor of film and producer/director of the decidedly low-budget Summer Film Project. "And that was important, because that's what many of our students want to learn about--how to make it in Hollywood."
Established in 1995, GVSU's Summer Film Project is unique in the country in that it offers junior- and senior-level students the chance to earn credit working on a 30-minute film under the direction of professionals. Completed in 12 weeks over the summer, the first six are devoted to the shoot (four pre-production and two weeks of filming with 12-hour days). After the film is transferred to digital betacam (at Laser Pacific in Hollywood), students spend the summer editing it with the university's Media 100 software under Philbin's guidance. The film premieres at a local theater in the fall and then is entered in festivals. "This is a serious filmmaking program," Anderson observes. "It's not just students making films. It's like boot camp for them."
To date, the Summer Film Project has produced eight works including this year's film, The Freezer Jesus, all of which feature local actors and are based on screenplays chosen through a national competition that annually attracts 50-100 entries. Two of the films, My Life Among the Gopis and With You Always, took first and third place respectively at the East Lansing Film Festival in the past two years. Philbin, an independent filmmaker and former LA editor with an MFA in film from Southern Illinois University, joined GVSU's faculty in 1997 and has directed the last four pictures with colleague Scott Vanderberg as cinematographer and a student crew. (Prior to his arrival, the university hired local professionals for the roles of director and DP for each film.)
As Philbin perfects the summer film process each year, his ultimate goal is to lure SAG actors from beyond West Michigan for the lead roles and recruit guest directors as well as professional DPs, all in an effort to raise the profile of this rare film program and create a rich learning experience for all involved. In 2002, the Summer Film Project made important strides in that direction when Anderson signed on. In addition, the winning screenplay, The Freezer Jesus, was written by a prominent author, John Dufresne, who based it on a piece from his 1991 short story collection, The Way That Water Enters Stone. His screenplay tells the tale of a farmer's spiritual struggle when his estranged son returns home to die. In early May, after settling into surprisingly comfortable digs in a townhome for visiting faculty and guests on GVSU's bucolic Allendale campus, Anderson went over The Freezer Jesus with Philbin shot by shot, discussing the look and feel they wanted to achieve and doing tests of various Kodak Vision stocks to determine which to use (they chose 500T and 200T). Anderson had arrived just ahead of the Panaflex Super 16 camera he had arranged for Panavision Hollywood to loan the school, which would offer more flexibility of aspect ratio than the university's Arriflex SR camera. Lighting rented from local houses would supplement GVSU's equipment and sound would be recorded on the university's DAT.
The moment of truth came when classes started May 6. Did Anderson still have it? Could he teach what he knew about moviemaking to a younger generation? After 25 years in Hollywood working on everything from high-budget films and low-budget indies to TV series and commercials with the best crews in the business, did he even remember what he knew?
"It was a better experience than I could have imagined," he admits. "I believe we made a professional-looking and crafted film, and I wondered if that was possible to do before I got here. It's an incredibly tiring experience day in, day out because, as the DP of a student crew, you really have to supervise everyone on the set. There's really no one to do things for you as on a professional set, but that's a good thing, because it makes you dredge back in your head to remember what it is you learned in school and what it is you actually know."
As for the Hollywood-hungry students, it taught them what they didn't know. Although they had heard about the long hours on movie sets, most students had never experienced what that actually means and how often a crew has to "hurry up and wait," according to Anderson. "One student wrote in his course evaluation that the experience of the long days on the set was hell and he didn't know how he was going to make it through each day, which always elicits peals of laughter from my friends, who long ago got used to 12-hour days, 60-hour weeks, for up to ten months at a time with no break."
In spite of the unexpected hardships, the students rose to the challenge, like Tom O'Rourke, a junior from Detroit who served as the film's assistant director. "With Jack on the set, it stepped up everyone's game to the next level, made us want to show this guy from Hollywood what we could do," he says. "It wasn't just the people who worked with him but just knowing he was there, everyone from PAs up to first ADs stepped up. This was our chance to get a feel for what a real set is like."
The students learned a great deal about professionalism from Anderson, like the time the generator powering several HMIs died, and he had to quickly relight the scene with smaller incandescent bulbs. "He just dealt with it," says Philbin. "He knew the scene wouldn't look exactly the same, but he was able to recreate the lighting design by improvising. The students learned how to respond in a situation where something goes wrong."
Anderson was impressed by how quickly students picked up tricks of the trade, such as packing up unnecessary equipment early so it doesn't take as long to wrap at the end of the day, an important survival skill in cash-conscious Hollywood. They also received many a lesson in humility, to which propmaster Jenny Hill attested in her evaluation comments at the end of the course: "Everyone is in the way at least once. And everyone will get yelled at at least once... Be mindful when someone is setting up lights and give them plenty of room, and most importantly DON'T STEP IN FRONT OF A LIGHT....You have to develop a thick skin to work in this business. "Some of Anderson's most memorable moments on the set were when he witnessed the blossoming of student creativity and ingenuity. "One student invented a lighting trick for one of the scenes that I might not have done or thought of," he recalls. "That's what you expect from a professional colleague--to be always thinking of how to do the job better. It was great to see a student coming up with an idea of their own. We ended up using it in the film." Another day, Anderson was lighting a room in a nursing home scene that had fluorescents overhead, and he decided he needed more practicals to get the job done. "In Hollywood, you'd just ask the props department and you'd get what you need, but on this shoot, Jenny didn't have any more lights, but she offered to go back to her apartment and bring all of her own lamps, which she did. She brought back four lamps and saved the scene." Philbin adds: "This is the first time these students have the chance to work with someone who is employed in the industry, and when that professional listens to or calls upon them, they are invariably thrilled." In addition to showing students the ropes of lighting and shooting a film, Anderson took time to sit and answer their questions about breaking into the business. "He didn't sugar-coat the fact that you have to work your way up," says O'Rourke, who tipped a few with Anderson at the film's wrap party held at a local bowling alley on the shoot's final day. "You have to work hard, and some students got more than they bargained for in this class, but I think it's great to have the chance, before you go to LA, to do this. It's the closest we'll get to filming a feature before we move out there. And that's one thing I know for sure after this experience--I'm moving out there!" In the end, everyone learned something on the set of The Freezer Jesus, even an old pro like Anderson. "It made me even more appreciative of what every crew member in Hollywood offers me when I work on a show," he says. "They're an enormous gift and resource -- 20 or 30 minds and 100 years of experience going into something. And that's what makes Hollywood work...," adding with a twinkle and a smile, "when it works."

Just for Bubba.So glad you asked, old friend. As it happens, if you have a DVD budget, we do have some recommendations that are bound to give you hours of pleasurable and sometimes educational viewing. Not all of them are cable offerings, and some you may already be aware of, but they're all on the list of good stuff you won't be able to watch on the rabbit-ear version of TV. Interested? Here we go.
He's got rabbit ears and like that.
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS. Loyal commenters are a treasure. It's rare that there's any opportunity to thank them, apart from saying "Thank you for making me feel that this blog is worthwhile." Which seems lame and self-serving to say the least. But today I get the chance to thank Bubba Kartoffel for years of insightful additions to InstaPunk. In response to the post about Rome he wrote:
I often wonder what I am missing sitting by my 12 inch screen adjusting the tin foil to just the right place on the rabbit ears in order to fine tune the free airwaves. Something like this comes along and I wonder whether cable or satellite is in order...
Anything else I'm really missing out on, oh glimmering ones? I value your recommendations.
Rescue Me. This is a series on the F/X network we've commented on before. It's scheduled to return to the air in June. That gives you time to catch up on previous seasons via DVD.
Nero Wolfe. This one we've never called out. Rex Stout's series of detective novels featuring Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin are some of the best written, funniest, and most re-readable works of the genre. The television series, now cancelled, starring Maury Chakin and Timothy Hutton was as definitive -- after many failed and inaccurate attempts dating back to the 1940s-- as the Jeremy Brett series of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Done as period pieces set in 1950s New York, the individual episodes are both true to the original books and riveting in terms of costumes, cars, cuisine, and casting, which employs an ensemble approach unusual in American productions. Start with either "The Doorbell Rang" or "The Silent Speaker," although all of the episodes are first-rate.
Return to Paradise. A movie we discovered on cable. God only knows how many juvenile comedies Vince Vaughn has starred in. We were utterly unprepared for the beautiful performance he gave in this story of a debt casually incurred and torturously repaid in Indochina. It made us want to beat the hell out of him for cheapening his reputation with all those crappy boob movies. He's an extraordinary actor, and this is a performance you'll want to watch again and again.
Everything Is Illuminated. Every InstaPunk reader knows we're obsessed with the Holocaust. This is another movie we discovered on the blizzard of cable channels offered by Comcast. It begins as if it's trying to be an eastern European version of Napoleon Dynamite, and it ends by tearing your heart right out of your chest. Elijah Wood is in it, and this time he's more than a hobbit, although it will take you a long time to appreciate his character.
Swing Kids. Before we saw the previous production, we'd have said this was the most excellent movie treatment of the Holocaust ever done. The plot summary makes it seem peripheral to the worst of Nazi Germany, but the depiction of youthful Germans dancing to American Big Band music turns out to be affecting at the deepest levels imaginable. A great performance by the vastly under-appreciated Frank Whaley -- and another by Robert Sean Leonard, the actor who's become famous as House's oncologist friend, Dr. James Wilson.
King Kong. Had to throw this one in. It's all over HBO at the moment, and like many many others, we turned up our nose at the thought of seeing it in the theater. We were wrong. Despite the three and a half hour runtime, if you don't shed a tear for King Kong at the end, there's something wrong with you. It's a great old-fashioned movie type movie.
Brideshead Revisted. Going back in time now. The best minseries ever. Jeremy Irons has gone on to great stardom, but whatever happened to Anthony Andrews, who is spellbinding in the role of Sebastian? It's 13 hours of magical drama.
Our Mutual Friend. The old Masterpiece Theater version. One of Dickens's best and most modern novels. Simultaneously an apotheosis and parody of the Victorian cliche exemplified by the over-praised Jane Eyre.
Forsyte Saga, The original. In black and white. Marred only by the indifferent acting talent of Kenneth More, everything else is superb. The best soap opera ever put on film.
Waking Ned Devine. A movie you won't find by yourself unless you're channel-hopping on cable. Irish. Very Irish. And totally hilarious, charming, and addictive. One of the very few films you'll actually want to watch again and again and again.
Tunes of Glory. But InstaPunk is a Scot. To hell with the Irish. If you want to know what bagpipes truly mean to Scots, watch Alec Guinness and John Mills do their accursed Scottish thing in this movie. It will haunt you forever.
We Were Soldiers. We are all children of the Vietnam War. Was there ever a movie about it that wasn't a rewrite of Kafka's The Trial? Yes. This one will chill you, hurt you, and make you proud. Even if you are fed up with Mel Gibson.
Last of the Mohicans. Yup. More than 10 years old. Seen by everyone. But still the best movie ever. If you don't have it on DVD, you're a jerk.
What do you think, Bubba? Enough to get started with?
