Yes, there are serious health issues that can prevent us from sleeping, and even the most rigorous adherence to the principles of ethics wont overcome these sorts of problems. Medical conditions such as sleep apnea require the intervention of a health care professional, which I am not.
It is also the case that, no matter how hard we try to the do right thing, or how often we set out to be the best we can be, we fail, over and over again.
We respond to a nasty remark with more nastiness.
We are in a position to be a force for good, but we choose to do otherwise.
We lie instead of telling the truth, simply because it is easier to do so.
We allow anger to get the best of us and determine how we mete out punishment, even though we know that this isnt right.
We have the opportunity to show loving kindness to someone, but we keep that feeling bottled up, perhaps out of fear of appearing weak or making ourselves vulnerable.
In other words, when we go through the checklist above, we are not always able to answer yes to every one of the five questions. But lets cut ourselves some slack. After all, theres always tomorrow. And the day after that, and the day after that.
Our lives are a work in progress, and by striving to live ethically, we seek to bring out the best in ourselves. In so doing, we may very well bring out the best in others. It bears repeating: the reason to do the right thing is simply because it is the right thing to do. Nevertheless, we reap many professional and personal rewards by taking ethics seriously in all that we do. Enjoying deep, restful, restorative slumber is one of those dividends.
May you have a good nights sleep tonight, tomorrow, and every night.

Or How You Take a Well Known Fairy Tale and Make It Your Own
I love fairy tales. I always have. I devoured every single one in my elementary school library. Yellow books, Red books, Andersen's and Grimm's, I've read them all. And even back then I began to realize that they had more in common than a happily-ever-after. More in common than quests and adventures and the search for true love. More in common than princes and princesses and evil witches.
Fairy tales are twisted intertwined versions of each other.
This makes sense. Originally the tales that we see as unchangeable classics were told by the fireside, passed down through the generations. And as anyone who has ever told a friend a tale knows, by the time it's been told to three people, the facts have changed. And so the tale that starts with a princess and an evil queen morphs into not just an evil queen, but an evil stepmother. Or the rescued princess is not just rescued from behind a castle wall, but she's waiting for her kiss encased in a glass coffin.
That brings us to today. Now we have print and once something is printed it becomes static. Or does it? Can we take those classics and continue the fine tradition of storytelling by taking a classic and further changing or twisting it to suit modern or adult tastes?
Of course we can. And we do, with stellar consequences. I've been reading twisted tales ever since I discovered my first anthology. They shocked and amazed me and made me realize that every story we have can be re-told a thousand different ways. And so I fell in love.
I fell in love with taking a known story and making it my own. In my novella, Little Red Riding Wolf, I've taken liberties that twist it well away from a children's cautionary tale. By making my heroine an adult, I've taken the power and handed it to her. Modernize the tale and the hero woodsman becomes a young hot forest ranger. Twist it a little harder and Red (my heroine) becomes a werewolf. And that's where we can really get creative.
When you are trying to re-write a classic tale, you need the well known pieces that make it a classic. A red hood morphs into a modern hoodie, and grandma becomes a shape-shifting granny ready to use tooth and nail to defend her granddaughter. Keep the classic line about Grandma's eyes, but make it different, fresh.
And what about the cautionary portion of the tale? Do you keep the theme of danger?
Tighten and twist till the plot that was meant for children is now only suitable for adults. Weave a little danger into the woods by adding another werewolf, this time an angry one. Make the ranger forbidden. The romance taboo.
By disassembling a fairy tale down to its basic elements and then reassembling choice tidbits, you keep the theme and the flavor of the original while at the same time creating something entirely, deliciously, different. That's why as an author I'm a fairy tale fan. Are you?

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Hooldege were among those contributors: Richard Holdick who settled in Virginia in 1650; J. and H. Holdridge settled in Philadelphia in 1822.

Hollywood & Vine
Hosted by Sharon Waxman
Post Style Correspondent
Tuesday, March 5, 2002; 2 p.m. EST
Washington Post Style correspondent Sharon Waxman brings Hollywood & Vine Live Online for a discussion about the inner workings of the movie industry.
There is a whole political universe behind how the movies happen, the tug and pull of egos, financial imperatives, a pecking order for privileges as well as genuine creative impulses.
Waxman will be online Tuesday, March 5, at 2 p.m. EST, to answer your questions and field your comments on the industry personalities she has met; the movies that are causing a stir and why; and trends in the industry and the culture of moviemaking in general.
Below is a transcript.
Editor's Note: Washingtonpost.com moderators retain editorial control
over Live Online discussions and choose the most relevant questions for guests and hosts; guests and hosts can decline to answer questions.
Sharon Waxman: Hey everyone, I'm sorry this is late, but I was busy talking to Guy Pearce, who is a hear throb, and a wonderful actor, but over on the other side of town. Rest assured, I conveyed all of our regrets and anger over his not being nominated for an Oscar for "Memento." Meanwhile, he's in a big-budget film for DreamWorks coming out this weekend, "The Time Machine," unfortunately a bad version of a B film. Amazingly, Guy didn't seem to disagree. He spent a good deal of time lamenting the sorry state of the film, his performance, his dealings with the director Simon West, who was removed for exhaustion about three months in.
Very interesting. I've more to tell you generally, but let's get going.
Casting by...:
I was watching a video recently and noticed the name Ellen Chenoweth. I realized that I see her name in a lot of movie credits. What does she do? Does she recommend actors to the directors or producers? Or does she get the actors the directors want for a movie? Is she THE casting person in Hollywood?
Sharon Waxman: I've seen her name too, and noticed it because of the actress Helen (?) Chenoweth. My guess is she's one of the top casting directors around.
Richland, Wash.:
Just curious ... do you have any idea when the Spider-Man flick is set to open now?
Sharon Waxman: I believe it's this summer. Looks to be great.
Washington, D.C.:
Hello Sharon --
One of my favorite actresses is Jessica Lange. Do you know what has happened to her? I was hoping she would survive the "over 40+" curse of Hollywood.
Sharon Waxman: Not a chance. I really don't know what she's been doing. ANybody out there?
Sharon, why aren't people like Christopher Nolan members of the Writers Guild? What's up with that? Surely, his screenplay would compare favorably to Goldman's and Fellowes'.
Sharon Waxman: Well, I thought both A Beautiful Mind and Gosford Park had extremely strong screenplays, so I wouldn't want to dis them. I was under the impression that Memento was Chris Nolan's first feature film, so he'll probably now become a member of the guild if he wants to be. But Guy told me that Nolan had made another hour-long film, which he called 'f-in brilliant', in London, docu-style.
Washington, D.C.:
Guy Pearce? You're so lucky!! Although I've noticed that he looks extremely gaunt, almost unhealthy. Does he look as skeletal in person?
Sharon Waxman: The guy is indeed very skinny, but you notice the gauntness more on him because the bone structure in his face is so (beautifully) pronounced. When he's skinny, it makes those cheekbones even more pronounced. I did urge him to eat, however, and he finally did scarf a danish. Just doing my part.
Re: Guy Pearce:
I love him since The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, but regarding his ability to promote a new movie, he seems to suck, huh? Is he going to go on Leno and the rest dissing The Time Machine?
Sharon Waxman: I don't think it was his intention to dis the movie at all, I just think it came out of him kind of sideways, since it appeared to be a traumatic experience of sorts. (And about the third such traumatic experience he's had running making studio films.) So he was philosophical about it, and only mentioned that he thought his own performance was bad as a kind of afterthought, as I was just leaving the room. DreamWorks told him that he wasn't the star of the film, that the machine was the star of the film; when you treat a serious actor like Guy Pearce that way, you can't expect it not to seep out in some form, even if he's the most diplomatic kind of guy. I really liked the guy, by the way.
New York, N.Y.:
I looked up Ellen Chenoweth on imdb.com and she does indeed seem to be a top casting director. Looks like she got her start with Barry Levinson and does all of his movies, as well as working with the Coen Brothers, Robert Redford, and many other big-name directors.
So this begs the question, how much pull do casting directors have in selecting actors, compared with directors and producers?
Sharon Waxman: Casting directors are key, maybe the most key people in the creative process of filmmaking. Unfortunately, I"ve never succeeded in getting very close to that fascinating process, or in getting to know the top talents in that field. The casting directors have to find the people, and the directors and producers make the final decision, and ultimately it's a very collaborative thing; but once you find a great actor the decision becomes easier. The hard part is finding him/her.
Fairfax, Va.:
Did you see the article in Vogue about Gwyneth Paltrow and her wardrobe? Just amazing to me how much thought has to go into what she wears and how closely scrutinized it all is. Even the clothes she wears to go to the store are analyzed. That would drive me insane! Clearly folks out in Hollywood don't have enough to do if they can pay that much attention to one person's choice of clothing.
Sharon Waxman: I didn't see the piece, but it sounds juicy. Please, give details.
Washington, D.C.:
Hi Sharon,
What'd you think of the "Six Feet Under" premiere?
Sharon Waxman: I missed it, goldarn it. Pray tell what happened. I was (happily) in Prague this weekend, speaking at a conference on Middle East peace. (My split identity would spin the heads of many, including my own....)
While in Prague I couldn't help but notice that the entire city, and it's exquisite, is jam packed with American and British Hollywood types, busy at the business of making movies. Every bar is packed with gaffers, director assistants, set builders, set painters, stunt men etc. It's unbelievable. They've been on pre-production and about to start shooting a Jackie Chan film, "Shanghai Nights" (with Owen Wilson) and are also currently making "Triple X," with VIN DIESEL (Fast and Furious) in a period piece. Now what would the world be without a Vin Diesel period film?
Interesting piece on the Muslim extremists in the UK. You also did one on the ones in Egypt, right? So, your beat's now Hollywood Fluff counterbalanced with Scary Extremists? How did you end up with both those assignments.
Does Guy Pearce know that you also interview Muslim extremists?
Sharon Waxman: Crazy, ain't it. Yes, I told Guy that I was off grappling with the heavy issue of Mideast peace and only came back for my interview with him (which is true, I"d have happily stayed an extra day). So we talked about Prague a bit, where he made yet another horror-of-an-experience Hollywood film, called "Ravenous," a cannibal film with Robert Carlyle in which the director was fired midway through. (Do we sense a pattern?) Then they brought in the guy who had directed, what was it?, oh yes - Home Alone 3. "He wanted another version of Scream," said Guy, who didn't.
Washington, D.C.:
"Now what would the world be without a Vin Diesel period film?"
A safer place for children and other living things.
Sharon Waxman: Thank you.
Dupont Circle:
Hi Sharon,
You seem to get all the good interviews, when can we look for this piece on Guy to run? And have you ever interviewed Val Kilmer. I watched the Doors and Tombstone the other day, and say what you will about the 'planet Val thing', he is an incredible actor. I for one can't wait to see The Salton Sea.
Sharon Waxman: Don't hold your breath on the Salton Sea. The man who made The Doors has been awol for some time, apparently too busy gazing at his own image to consider acting as an artistic endeavor. (Don't worry, narcissism is an affliction that strikes many around here... the question is how do you use it?)
As for getting good interviews, actually I"ve not done that many this past year; I think I've become a little toxic for a lot of the studios. Among those who've cancelled: Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Josh Hartman. I don't take it personally, though. Especially when Billy Bob Thornton is the consolation prize...
Herndon, Va.:
Ms. H&V: Please relate Vin Diesel's movie career to the peace process in the Middle East, with a particular emphasis as to how his style of acting has affected Saddam Hussein's public speeches. Thanks
Sharon Waxman: See the Outlook section this weekend. I'm working on it.
Rumor de jour:
Is it true that CBS is courting you to be Letterman's successor?
Sharon Waxman: I can't confirm or deny any such rumors.
Re: Gwyneth's wardrobe:
I read the story, too. Bottom line: Gwyneth is one of -if not -the-- Hollywood's top fashion icons and she's gotten to that position all by herself (gifts from designers can't hurt, I guess), without a stylist or whatever you call them. It is indeed exhausting, it seems, but she loves clothes so much that it doesn't matter all that much.
Opposite situation, I'm guessing, is that of Julia Roberts, who must have some kind of clothes coach lately, because she used to stink.
And I believe it's not only Hollywood that's obsessed with star's clothing. "InStyle" sells a lot, and not just in LA.
Sharon Waxman: Thank you. I'll certainly give Gwyneth that: she has an inborn sense of elegance and fashion that can't be faked. They showed "Shakespeare in Love" on the plane, by the way; God, I love that movie. Where is Joe Fiennes????
McLean, Va.:
Ooh, Guy Pearce. Did you happen to ask him about his experience on "L.A. Confidential"? One of my all-time favorite films. But I had heard there was a lot of producer input on the actors and day-to-day the Australians involved might or might not have their hotel bills, etc., paid for. And that Curtis Hansen was so wonderful in making sure none of that anxiety reached the final product.
Sharon Waxman: Well, yes. LA Confidential was pretty much Guy's only positive experience making a Hollywood film, and that was because Curtis Hanson had a strong vision for what he was trying to accomplish and kept the meddling producers at bay. It's got to be murder for an actor to sort out what he's supposed to be doing when you've got 10 people deciding what the film ought to be.
Farmington Hills, Mich.:
Who is Josh Hartman? Do you mean Hartnett?
Sharon Waxman: Oh yeah, Hartnett. Do you think that's why they cancelled the interview?
EraserheadGuy, D.C.:
Hi, Sharon. Liked your piece on the radical Muslim literature. Just goes to show what happens to cultures without access to "Eraserhead," and other objets d'freedom.
A question per your lead: does the Arabic Salam Aleikum (peace be with you) mean the same thing as the Hebrew Shalom Aleichem?
Sharon Waxman: Thanks, and yes, it means precisely that.
Here's the bizarre thing, though: I learned through Fawaz Gerges, the Mideast expert at Sarah Lawrence, that this phrase has been appropriated by extremists as a way they greet one another. Apparently this is because it harks back to how Mohammed's disciples used to say hello. ("You had me at Salama Aleikum...") This made sense, since I was bewildered when the wife of our Cairo corresopndent, whose Arabic teacher is a very religious Muslim, cautioned her that non-Muslims are not meant to use the phrase. I'd never heard that before, nor had my Egyptian friends, but inside the fundamentalist community apparently that's the case. Ironic.
University Heights, Ohio:
Hi Sharon,
Is it true that Sean Astin, Samwise in LOTR, is Patty Duke's son??
And when are you coming home for a visit??
Sharon Waxman: Thanks for joining us and say hi to Mom, whoever you are. I've no idea what Sean Astin's origins might be, but I'll always answer messages from the home base....
Boonies, Va.:
Prague is breathtaking. FYI though, the US Embassy in Prague as depicted in Mission Impossible is hilariously inaccurate. Hollywood seems to think that US Embassies are palatial.
Sharon Waxman: Maybe so, but I met the guys who staged the stunt in MI with the plate glass breaking in a Prague restaurant. They did do it there.
Re: Sean Astin:
Yup. He's Patty Duke's son- along with Mackenzie Astin of "Facts of Life" fame. John Astin adopted him but I forget who his birth father is.
Sharon Waxman: Interesting, thanks.
Please allow me some polite clarifications: Janet Hirschenson and her crew are considered to be THE top casting teams in Hollywood, or anywhere, hands down. Spiderman, which already has trailers in the theaters, is tentatively slated for a mid-May or late-May release, according to some reports. Jessica Lange has done some cable work recently and is supposedly slated to be in a theatrical film later this year, I heard through the grapevine. And the director of "The Time Machine" is Simon Wells, the great-grandson or grandson of H. G. Wells, the man who wrote the original book. And the advance buzz on "Time Machine" is overwhelmingly positive. And many would dispute previous versions as being "B" films, thank you.
Sharon Waxman: Why so polite? And FYI May is the new summer in Hollywood, where ya been?
And yes, Simon Wells is the great-grandon of the great HG Wells. And I'm sorry for those who find the pre-Machine buzz positive, because they're out for a disappointment. Wells does not really know how to direct, and the Morlocks (the evil mutant species of year 802,701) are a cross between the Ooks of LOTR and the monkey in Planet of the Apes.
Six Feet Under Synopsis:
Mother has florist guy over for dinner to meet the family. Nate's got a headache, takes the "aspirin" from the bottle where David stashed the ecstasy, so he's totally high all through dinner. Claire's worried about Gabe the boyfriend. Brenda's depressed. Nate has a dream about his father playing Chinese Checkers with life and death, who end up having sex. Nate still hasn't told Brenda or the family about his illness. And he passes the funeral director's test. David calls Keith.
Think I got it all. Was SO GOOD I could fall over.
Sharon Waxman: Wait! What's Nate sick with???
Arlington, Va.:
Premiere of Six Feet Under was just okay -- I love love love that show, but was a bit disappointed in the season opener. Too many McBeal-ish daydream/fantasy sequences which the show does not need. Some funny stuff with the mom and David though. Mom tells David to invite any special friend of his, trying to embrace being the mom of a gay man, he replies..."why are my friends 'Special' friends"?
Sharon Waxman: Good.
You want to weigh in on the whole ABC/Letterman/Koppel mess??
Sharon Waxman: I think it speaks for itself in terms of the unabashed abandonment of priorities at that place. Ted Koppel is one of the best journalists of our time. I don't care that he's not hosting every night or that he's over 60. Can't we make room for one of the best journalistic enterprises anywhere on US television?
Arlington, Va.:
Josh Hartnett's a babe. Can't say I've actually seen anything with him in it from beginning to end, but I think the kid's got a lot of charisma. Am I just a dirty old girl?
Sharon Waxman: Um, just normal, I'd say. He's got charisma to spare, plenty of acting talent (the times when he was on screen in Pearl Harbor I actually believed the movie, fleetingly), but he's got the nastiest publicist this side of Texas.
Arlington, Va.:
Hey Sharon,
Got a new not-so-guilty pleasure that draws me away from HBO late on Sunday nights: The Chris Isaak show on Showtime. It's weird and quirky and all about how he can't find love (yeah, right). Have you seen it? Any buzz?
Sharon Waxman: The LA Times's tv critic has been championing the show for some time, so I started watching it and got hooked. Guys, check it out, it's very funny. Plus Bridget Fonda's on occasionally.
Fairfax, Va.
Losers = Mel K. & Les M -- they are going to be ponying up some major $$$$ and groveling naked center stage at the Sullivan Theatre every Thursday for Stupid Human Tricks; Iger & Eisner -- Major credibility issues. Actually this entire situation is a big fat stupid human trick.
Sharon Waxman: Thanks for that.
Peace in the Middle East:
You should have the Israelis and Arabs sit down to a David Lynch film festival. They will be so absorbed trying to understand the movies that they will forget to fight each other. What a synthesis of your journalistic beats!
No disrespect intended towards Eraserhead poster.
How come you can speak Arabic? Family or school?
Sharon Waxman: School. And covering the first intifada.
6' Under.....:
Nate's got a brain tumor of some sort.
Anyone -- did Billy sexually assault Brenda?
Sharon Waxman: Tx.
Re Billy: as far as I know he just cut out his tattoo, and tried to cut out hers. Did I miss something?
Joseph Fiennes!:
Find him! Bring him back! Much, much sexier than his iceberg of a big brother--and he can act, too.
This is your mission. Use the Force.
Sharon Waxman: I promise to try.
New York:
I must be out of the mainstream because I think Gwyneth Paltrow always looks awful, and she shouldn't. Her makeup, her clothes, may both be hip fashion, but if they don't look good on her, would they look good on anyone else? Her eye makeup has been especially horrid of late. Also, I'll never forget the pink silk dress THAT DID NOT FIT she wore to the Oscars. Oh my.
Just a little catty I am this afternoon.
Sharon Waxman: The Oscar dress was a rare fashion faux pas, and it STILL got copied from coast to coast. And her eye make up is onlyl overdone when she does those dramatic photo shoots/covers, etc. I've never seen her out with those raccoon eyes.
Sharon Waxman: PS Do you guys think that all this nice stuff I'm saying about Gwyneth will get me back in good graces with her devil of a publicist, Stephen Huvane?
Re: Guy Pearce again:
Interesting what you mention about the machine being the star, not him. At what point in a movie does something like that happen? An actor agrees to do it based on... what? The salary, the director, the script...? A pick or combination of several factors, but how can something like this happen once they're already in the works? Does Pearce appear one day for shooting and the director says "y'know, it's the machine that I'm interested in" and it's the first time an actor might learn of the director's vision for a movie? Curious.
Sharon Waxman: I don't know how it happens, of course it's different in any case. Guy told me he was sent the script while on the set of Count of Monte Cristo, and decided it would be different to do something that reminded him of his childhood (meaning the old Time Machine). I think it was only once he committed and got ankle deep into it that he found out what was what.
Washington, D.C.:
I'm frustrated with the whole furor over Nightline. Why won't anyone point out that the show's ratings are down and that Koppel only anchors three nights a week? Or that a move to ABC would be bad for Dave because CBS sure isn't going to let that nice new Ed Sullivan theater go unused, so there would be 3, not 2, 11:30 shows competing for the same pool of viewers, guests, and advertisers? Why is this story in the newspapers?
Sharon Waxman: Are you saying that the deal will never happen, so it's wasted space? Clarify, please.
Re: Nate:
Nate's got AVM, which is some sort of malformation of blood vessels in his brain. Makes him at much greater risk for stroke.
Sharon Waxman: Ah.
Why are you out of favor with these publicists! We must know! Please?
Sharon Waxman: Because I write what I see, not what they want me to write.
Col. Pk.:
All those good things you've been saying would have worked, until that last little jab.
Sharon Waxman: That guy will carry a grudge till kingdom come. I already tried to be nice. Nice doesn't work in Hollywood, I've learned with hard knocks of experience.
Washington, D.C.:
Hey, is Hollywood still in love with Aaron Sorkin over the "West Wing," or are they as sick of the bad taste and preachiness as I am?
Sharon Waxman: I think he's had his little honeymoon run. His inner demons have outed him, so I'd say there's respect, but a lot less dazzle in his direction.
Sharon Waxman:
Ok guys, I have to go, my phone won't stop ringing. Thanks so much for joining us. We'll be back in a week or maybe two, and take up some of these dangling matters. Also, we must talk about the Oscar campaigns, which are out of control in a big way. That's it, see you then...

The Syrian defence minister has been killed and several other senior security officials wounded after a suicide bomber struck the National Security building in Damascus during a meeting of cabinet ministers and senior security officials.
State television confirmed General Daoud Rajha was killed in Wednesday's suicide blast and that several other participants in a top-level meeting who were wounded in the blast had been rushed to Al-Shami hospital in the capital.
Al Jazeera's Rula Amin, reporting from Beirut, capital of neighbouring Lebanon, said: "We don't know yet the number of casualties but the fact that it happened near where the president lives is significant."
The explosion came as clashes beween the Syrian military and the Free Syrian Army in Damascus entered a fourth straight day.
Citing the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, news agencies reported sounds of explosions on the outskirts of the Syrian capital on Wednesday.
Fighting was also reported in the central district of al-Midan, where rebel fighters are holed up.There were no immediate reports of casualties.
More government forces and tanks were deployed in areas inside and around Damascus following the violence, activists said.
The SOHR also said that more than 60 soldiers had been killed in clashes with the FSA fighters in the past 48 hours, but there was no independent confirmation of the claim as foreign media is barred from reporting inside Syria.
"Between 40 and 50 soldiers of the regular Syrian forces were killed the day before yesterday [Monday] in fighting in Damascus, and at least 20 were killed yesterday," the Observatory's Rami Abdel Rahman told the AFP news agency.
He added that forces of the presidential guard had deployed around the capital, but "they are not involved in the fighting" that erupted in several districts of the city on Sunday.
Soldiers loyal to al-Assad have called on civilians in Damascus areas controlled by the rebels to "leave immediately" ahead of an attack to purge those areas of "terrorists", activists said.
The rebels said on Tuesday they had intensified their offensive, declaring the latest phase of their offensive would "liberate" Damascus. A rebel spokesman said "victory is nigh".

London, Mar 16 (ANI): Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has insisted the sport is not in crisis despite the new rules, and asked people not to panic.
There are fears that what was billed as a blockbuster season with four world champions fighting for the title will turn out to be a flop.
"There's no panic or crisis. There's nothing we can do immediately, we should not knee-jerk into changes," The Sun quoted Ecclestone, as saying.
"We're involved in four flyaway races now so let's see how the teams adapt and look at it again after China."
"The first race with new rules was always going to be a learning curve," Ecclestone added.
The ban on refuelling could turn races into a start-to-finish procession Ecclestone said: "I've explained to teams our business is about racing and entertaining." (ANI)

Literary Adaptations in Black American Cinema: From Micheaux to Toni Morrison
University Rochester Press, 2002 - Performing Arts - 558 pages
The cinematic representation of blacks, especially in silent and early film, was shaped not only by the sentimental racism of the culture but also by the popular literature which distorted black experience and restricted black characters to minor, stereotyped roles. By contrast, in the works of black writers from Oscar Micheaux to Toni Morrison, the black experience has been more fully, more accurately, and usually more sympathetically realized; and from the early days of film, select filmmakers have looked to that literature as the basis for their productions. An historical examination of the practice of such adaptation offers telling insights into the portrayal -- and progress -- of blacks in American movies and culture. It reveals that while blacks, on screen and behind the scenes, were often forced to re-create the demeaning film stereotypes, they learned how to subvert and exploit the artificiality of their caricatures. It also reveals the ways that black filmmakers, beginning with Micheaux, Noble and George Johnson, and their less prominent colleagues like Emmett Scott, worked within the conventions of cinema and society, yet managed to produce films that were, at their best, unconventional and pioneering. It demonstrates that as far back as the 1920s and 1930s, black authors like Paul Laurence Dunbar and Langston Hughes already recognized the need for involvement with film production in order to create pictures that were more representative of black life. It illustrates the fact that, in recent years, as more black voices found their way to the screen, among the strongest were the voices of women. And above all, it confirms that within the rich tradition of black literature of all genres lie many exciting cinematic possibilities for audiences of all colors. Barbara Tepa Lupack has written extensively on the topic of literary adaptations in cinema and is co-author (with Alan Lupack) of King Arthur in America.

Block Re-Ups With Lions Gate in Multiyear Deal2 May, 2002 By: Hive News
Lions Gate Home Entertainment and Acquisitions president Peter Block and two other top executives have signed new multiyear deals in an arrangement the company expects to position it for growth, Lions Gate Entertainment announced today.
The company also re-signed Lions Gate Films Releasing president Tom Ortenberg, Lions Gate Films president of Production Michael Paseornek and named recently hired industry veteran James Keegan to the new position of Chief Administrative Officer.
Under Block and Ron Schwartz, EVP of Home Video Sales, Lions Gate Home Entertainment has achieved strong growth in revenue and profit, quadrupled the revenue of its sell-through business, is coming off its biggest video release ever, O, and is positioned for an even more successful title with the June 11 DVD and home video release of Monster's Ball. Lions Gate Home Entertainment now generates six video releases a month.
Block's acquisition team is also responsible for fulfilling the company's pipeline of product. Recent prebuys and acquisitions included Larry Clark's controversial and acclaimed Bully, Stephen King's Rose Red and Joe Carnahan's Sundance favorite Narc, which is scheduled for release later this year in a joint distribution arrangement between Lions Gate and Paramount Pictures. Block also continues to focus on growing the company's revenue in pay-per- view, VOD and other new media formats.
Under Paseornek and Ortenberg, Lions Gate has had a run of critical and commercial box office successes including Monster's Ball, which earned a Best Actress Academy Award for Halle Berry and has generated nearly $30 million at the North American box office. The title positioned to become Lions Gate's most profitable film ever, the company reported.
Frailty, has earned more than $10 million at the North American box office in its first three weeks of release, Cat's Meow, is performing strongly in limited release and Lantana won eight Australian Academy Awards, all contributing to Lions Gate;s recent success.
"We have set in place our senior management team going forward, and we are now poised to move to a new stage in our company's disciplined growth and evolution," said Lions Gate CEO Jon Feltheimer. "We are very pleased with the momentum of our filmed entertainment divisions and, by retaining the executives responsible for this success and adding a highly respected Chief Administrative Officer, we are positioned to utilize the synergies between our various operating units to create similar results across all of Lions Gate's businesses."
Effective immediately, the four executives report directly to Feltheimer as members of the company's senior decisionmaking team.
"With the re-signing of two Lions Gate veterans, a top executive gained through the acquisition of Trimark and the additional hiring of a superb outside talent, we have demonstrated that Lions Gate is committed to assembling the best and brightest executives in the industry to lead us to the next level of success," Feltheimer said. "With vice chairman Michael Burns utilizing his nearly 20 years of entertainment finance experience in working with me to chart our strategic path and a strong, stable team leading our individual businesses, we are confident that we will build on our current momentum."

Turns out Rhett is made for the great outdoors, so I don't know why we waited so long to make this happen.
(For some reason, I'm not in any of the pictures, but I promise I was there)
We spent the day playing and hiking in Colorado Springs before heading to our campsite. It was a little more posh than we are used to (we could get wifi from our tent?), but it was perfect for kids. Rhett loved the makeshift playground and made lots of friends.
|"Show me the stick, Rhett" It took him about 5 seconds before he started hunting for the best rocks and sticks to throw in the creek next to our tent.
|Rhett and camping...true love.
It got down to 35 degrees at night, but we bundled up and stayed pretty warm. A camping trip for the books!

Unanswered: Setting a variable which remains even if reload database

You can create, change, delete user-defined properties in the Properties collection of a Database object (CurrentDb). These properties are persistent (i.e. they are stored in the .mdb or .accdb file).
To create a new property:
Function CreateDbProperty(PropertyName, PropertyValue) ' ' This function is called to create a new (user-defined) property ' of the Database object. ' ' It returnd True if successfull, an error code otherwise. ' #If ERR_ON Then On Error GoTo Err_CreateDbProperty #End If Dim prpNew As Property Set prpNew = CurrentDb.CreateProperty(PropertyName, dbText, PropertyValue) CurrentDb.Properties.Append prpNew Set prpNew = Nothing Exit_CreateDbProperty: Exit Function Err_CreateDbProperty: CreateDbProperty = Err.Number Resume Exit_CreateDbProperty End Function
Function GetDBProperty(PropertyName, PropertyValue) As Long ' This function is called to get a (user-defined) property ' of the Database object. ' ' It returnd True if successfull, an error code otherwise. ' #If ERR_ON Then On Error GoTo Err_GetDBProperty #End If Dim Prop_Database As DAO.Database Dim Prop_lngRetVal As Long Set Prop_Database = CurrentDb PropertyValue = Prop_Database.Properties(PropertyName) Prop_lngRetVal = True Exit_GetDBProperty: GetDBProperty = Prop_lngRetVal Exit Function Err_GetDBProperty: PropertyValue = Null Prop_lngRetVal = Err.Number Resume Exit_GetDBProperty End Function
Function SetDBProperty(PropName, PropValue) As Integer ' ' This function is called to change the value of a (user-defined) property ' of the Database object.

Or you could simply create a 'utility' Table and store and retrieve it from there. I use this technique to allow users to store and retrieve values such as company names, addresses, phone numbers, etc, to be used in the letterhead for Reports, but it could be used for storing things like you're talking about.

China to ordain Vatican-approved bishop
Fr Joseph Gan Junqiu is to be ordained today in Sacred Heart Cathedral, in the southern province of Gungdonf, AsiaNews reports. Fr Joseph publicly expressed his loyalty to the Pope in a statement after the election of Pope Benedict. The ordination was delayed for one year because of objections raised by the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association, (CPCA) a government agency which which wished to impose its own choice of bishop. The press and the faithful from other dioceses will not be allowed to attend the ceremony "for lack of space," but some 900 other parishioners with passes are expected to be present. Some local Catholics have visited the church and met the future bishop. "We have known Mgr Gan for quite some time; he is a calm but dynamic figure. He knows people's problems and gets personally and gladly involved where there is a need or explicit requests," they told AsiaNews. The future bishop has an "open mind and heart and is well liked by the people. He does not like compromises but also knows how to find a balance whenever tolerance is difficult to practice. This has an inner cost and entails love for his people and the Church, which is universal. It has been many years since we had a pastor and we are very happy for this grace from God." Mgr John Fang Xingyao of Linyi will preside over the ceremony along with Mgr Joseph Liao Hongqing of Meizhou and Mgr Paul Su Yongda of Zhanjiang. On Friday Mgr Francis Lu Shouwang was ordained the new official bishop of Yichang, (Hubei, central China). The new prelate did not publicly state whether his appointment was accepted by the Vatican or not, but AsiaNews sources confirm that he was approved by the Holy See. The bishops who ordained him were Mgr Louis Yu Runshen, official bishop of Hanzhong (Shaanxi); Mgr Zhao Fengchang, bishop of Liao Cheng (Yang Gu, Shandong); and Mgr Su Yongda, bishop of Zhanjiang (Guangdong). No underground bishop was present at the ceremony. Instead there were many officials from the CPCA and the Bishops' Council, including Wang Zuoan, deputy director of the Religious Affairs Bureau and Zhou Ning, a director of the Central United Front as well as representatives of the Hubei United Front and government leaders from Yichang, Enshizhou and Jingmen. After the Mass the new bishop pledged to "guide everyone, priests, nuns, seminarians and faithful, in observing the laws of the state, safeguard national unity and social stability, and make his own contribution to build a harmonious socialist society." Many faithful in the underground Church told AsiaNews that these ordinations, whilst they may have been legitimised, fall short of total obedience to what is laid out in the Pope's Letter to Chinese Catholics. In it Benedict XVI calls on legitimised bishops to announce and bring "into the public domain at the earliest opportunity" their legitimation by the Holy See. Some of the newly-ordained bishops are hiding instead their possible approval. For this reason the Pope calls on legitimised bishops "to provide unequivocal and increasing signs of full communion with the Successor of Peter" . According to the underground Church this means they should openly distance themselves from the CPCA, an organisation which the Vatican considers "incompatible with Catholic doctrine". Elsewhere, the Chinese government has blocked the ordination of the new coadjutor bishop of the autonomous province of Ningxia, in central China. The bishop ordinary, John Liu Jingshan, said that the ceremony for his successor, Fr Joseph Li Jing, "was moved by the government for some reason. Perhaps it will take place on 8 December, the feast of the Immaculate Conception." This future bishop also received the papal mandate. Source: AsiaNews/Church Resources

PFD - How do you KNOW that it will inflate when you hit the water?
by Sail-World Cruising/US Sailing on 19 Aug 2012
Your PFD - can you trust it to inflate? SW
Inflatable personal flotation devices (PFD) - they're comfortable to wear, so comfortable that you're happy to put it on every time you go sailing - but how do you KNOW it will inflate when you hit the water? If you haven't already, it's time to think about the maintenance and becoming a survivor not a statistic by checking your own safety gear.
Certainly US Sailing reports that they are seeing failures as PFD's age and are being routinely worn.
1. Every inflatable has an Owner's Manual that describes a visual inspection of the inflator and the CO2 cylinder before each use. (If you do not have an Owner's Manual for your Inflatable PFD you should get one from the manufacturer for your specific model.)
2. In addition, each inflatable should be blown up annually and leak tested overnight.
3. If it has an automatic inflator, the water-sensitive bobbin should be replaced annually as well.
4. A record of this maintenance should be marked on every inflatable.
Instructions for use in the manuals include such things as : Donning Instructions, Safety Harness Instructions, Inflation and Deflation, Care and Maintenance, Rearming Instructions, Folding Instructions, and Testing Instructions are all included too.
How to visually inspect and leak test your PFD:
To check for leaks, remove the CO2 cylinder, orally inflate the device until firm and leave overnight. The PFD should still be firm in the morning. This leakage test should be performed at the beginning of the boating season and at least every two months thereafter if you are a light user, and more often if you are a heavy user. After this test deflate, and rearm the inflator. Then fold your PFD in accordance with the folding instructions in your Owner's Manual.
Annual Test Record:
Each inflatable device should be inflated and inspected annually. Service dates shall be marked on the floatation devices. The inflatable device may be integrated with a safety harness.
Inflatable PFD Checklist:
When preparing for an outing, ask yourself:
1. Have I checked the status of the inflator and made sure that the CO2 cylinder is not punctured? Check both before each outing.
2. Is it armed in the appropriate mode for this outing?
3. Have I checked my inflatable PFD for leaks I the last two months?
4. Do I have the right PFD for this activity?
5. How does my PFD work in the water? Have I tested it this season?
6. Do I have the right size PFD for each person (according to the label) and do they fit snugly?
7. Have I checked my other inflatable PFD's in the same manner in which I checked my own?

Many young readers will probably know who General Colin Powell is, but have they heard of Brigadier General Hazel Johnson, the United States Army's first African American woman general? Or Guion S. Bluford Jr., the first African American in space? African Americans have been a valuable part of the United States military since before there even was a United States, when Peter Salem fought at the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill. Jim Haskins's lively stories, which include definitions of military vocabulary words, bring 30 American heroes to life, and also tell how, for years, African Americans were only able to defend their country in segregated troops. There are some surprises, particularly in the stories about women. Many grownups might not know about Deborah Sampson, who fought disguised as a man during the Revolutionary War, or that Harriet Tubman, the leader of the Underground Railroad, was also a spy for the Union Army in the Civil War.

High-Def Showdown Doesn't Slow Down7 Jan, 2005 By: Thomas K. Arnold
The showdown between competing next-generation camps Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD at the Consumer Electronics Show this week didn't bring us any closer to the unified format everyone wants — and the industry needs.
Both sides trotted out their key supporters, with the HD-DVD side attempting to one-up the competition by announcing an impressive slate of titles scheduled to hit the market in the fourth quarter of this year. No harm done, sniffed one of the leading backers of Blu-ray. "It doesn't mean anything," he told me afterward at the DEG: The Digital Home Entertainment cocktail party. "I could announce titles too."
To modify a song title from Chicago, America needs you, Warren Lieberfarb. Last time around, when our industry was in a similar situation, it was Lieberfarb's hard-handed tactics that ultimately brought both competing sides to the table to hammer out a compromise that became DVD — a full year ahead of launch.
This time, we are nine months away and both sides are still going full throttle. Bob Chapek, president of Buena Vista Home Entertainment and DEG, has loudly and repeatedly called for a single format to come to market — most recently, at the DEG event. But so far, neither side has shown any willingness to give in.
Indeed, all we've gotten is muscle-flexing and boasts. And if Fox weighs in on the Blu-ray camp, as is widely expected, then the six majors will be evenly split with their software support.
Someone like Warren Lieberfarb — heck, maybe even Warren Lieberfarb himself — needs to sit down with everyone involved and at least get the ball rolling on a compromise. We need to get everyone to agree that under no circumstances will two rival next-gen formats come to market, and then work backwards on achieving that goal.
Otherwise, there's little to no chance of success. My hunch is that if both formats come to market, consumers will ignore both and stick with their tried-and-true DVD.
A similar thing just happened on the music side, where SACD and DVD-Audio are still slugging it out in the ring of public apathy.
Come on, guys. Will somebody please step up?

Rue 57 Ratings and Reviews
Hemos acudido a este restaurante ya en diversas ocasiones. Siempre muy bien
Rue 57 is a staple when we have friends from out of town but this times this were just a little off. Ordered steak frites, got skirt steak, ordered fries instead of mashed and got mashed, fried chicken was not crisp like usual. We split the check and each left 20% on the TOTAL because the tipping numbers were deceiving. Our own fault for not thinking through but definitely not a 40% tipping experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Rue 57. It is a lively and popular restaurant with excellent food and service. We were seated in a quiet corner but our waiter was attentive and funny. I had the Dover Sole and my husband had the Filet Mignon. Both were really very good. The sole was simply cooked with lemon and butter which brought out the flavors and let the fish shine. For dessert they had my absolute favorite - profiteroles! Delicious! I would highly recommend trying this restaurant for a really good dinner
At first we were seated at a table near the bar that was much too loud for pleasant conversation. After some gentle insistence we were given a much nicer table in a corner where we could hear each other without shouting. Once we settled into our new table, we enjoyed the service, food, and surroundings. I was surprised to find tasty sushi on the menu along with tempting continental cuisine. Overall a very nice dining experience.
Excelente Ruben Sándwich muy bueno el Rice Tuna, lugar muy agradable
We were looking for a nice place for a late breakfast and Rue 57 came recommended by the concierge at our hotel.
The place is charming, and the wait staff were attentive. However, the food seemed quite bland and although presented well enough, did not strike us as memorable. We mostly had omelettes in our group for our breakfast.
The food was fine -- not great, but fine. However, the prices charged are really out of whack for the cuisine. Furthermore, it is a raucus place filled with tourists. If not for the cold and the convenience on this particular evening, we would not have ended up at Rue 57.
This is the second time I've dined here. It does not disappoint. Some menu items seem to be priced too high, but we stuck with the reasonably priced burgers (plus one shared vegetable side dish,) and all was delicious. (We were especially pleased to receive a basket of the restaurant's excellent bread, since our entrées included hamburger buns. Not sure whether this happened because we ordered the vegetable, or would have been included with only the burgers in our order.)
We came before a concert at Carnegie Hall. We knew the restaurant wee, so nothing was a surprise. The ambience is great. As we had a friend from Paris with us, we wanted to see how he would react. He loved it. For him it was stepping back in time to an earlier Paris ambience. The food was good and the service excellent, but not intrusive. All in all, a perfect place for a pre-Carnegie Hall dinner.
Our brunch experience was not especially pleasurable. The restaurant was extremely busy and noisy. Two of us ordered omelets, which came very quickly, and seemed to have been pre-prepared and sitting out. Toast was barely warm. We got the feeling they were trying to move people in and out very quickly.
We had an 8PM concert at Carnegie Hall and wanted a nearby place that would make this possible and also would allow us to eat no earlier than 6:30 (so not a long dinner). Rue 57 served this purpose admirably. My wife and I each had two appetizers and were reasonably happy. Quite decent bistro food. Being in midtown a bit expensive for what you got, but not crazily so. So a good place for what we wanted. I would not head up there unless I had a concert or another reason to go.

To tell of scientists transplanting genes from one species to another sounds uncomfortably like either a horror story or the start of a bad jokewhat do you get when you cross a hyena with a parrot? Biotechnology Unzipped is a reader-friendly explanation of biotechnology, its history, and its implications for us all.
The term "biotechnology" may raise more hope and fear, revelation and confusion, excitement and alarm than any other term in today's headlines. In Biotechnology Unzipped, scientist and skilled science popoularizer Dr. Eric Grace helps readers understand what biotechnology is and what implications it holds for all of us.
From humanhealth and medical technology to agribusiness and environmental cleanup, Grace examines the promises, realities, and ethics of this dynamic technology. This book provides an explanation of how we came to where we arefrom the coining of the word "cell" in 1665 to Darwin's breakthrough insight on evolution, from the unraveling of the DNA double helix to the 1997 announcement of the cloning of Dolly the sheep.
Biotechnology Unzipped uses everyday metaphors to help readers understand the genetic code and how it works to produce the many forms of life that exist on Earth. It explores the promises and realities of biotechnology, but also deals frankly with the fact that biotechnology is, first and foremost, a commercial activity. Focusing on the ethical implications, he looks at the scope of public opinion, the role of the media, the vulnerability of the poor to exploitation, and the problem of patenting life itself.
In an age when many people are skeptical of the benefits of science and technology and less trusting of those who control it, many worry that this powerful technology will be misused or get out of hand. Biotechnology Unzipped provides a thorough introduction to this fascinating subject.

Recycle Bin - Nothing in it
There is nothing ever in my recycle bin, and yes I have the option set to put deleted files into the recycle bin, unless I do a Shift + Delete.
I'll also mention that my settings never hold from reboot to reboot....ex: I set IE to open full screen, and then reboot, and it does not open in full screen. This is the same for many other settings. What am I missing? Is this related to the recycle bin problem?

he Bank was Charlie Chaplin's tenth film for Essanay Films.
Released in 1915, it is a departure from the tramp character, as Charlie Chaplin plays a janitor at a bank. Edna Purviance plays the secretary on whom Charlie has a crush and dreams that she has fallen in love with him. Filmed at the Majestic Studio in Los Angeles. Silent. There doesn't appear to be any evidence that this film was received any differently from the bulk of Chaplin's early work, but today this film is often considered one of his most fascinating efforts.
