(NECN: Kenneth Craig) - With U.S. Troops continuing to suffer wounds on the battlefield, there is continued need for advances in medical care.
It was the focus of an event at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
At Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., hundreds of critically injured soldiers are rebuilding their strength, and their lives after the battlefield.
Many of those soldiers have lost arms or legs, but thanks to new advancements in prosthetics, those same soldiers are also getting new opportunities to improve their quality of life.
Lt. Colonel Paul Pasquina heads the Amputee Program at the medical center.
Today, he's spoke to researchers at a conference at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

RELEASED: May 2, 2001
DANVILLE, KYThe Centre College Choral Ensemble will present a free concert on Sunday, May 6, at 8 p.m. in the Presbyterian Church of Danville. Guest director Paul McGahie will conduct.
The concert will feature both sacred and secular mini-masterpieces ranging from Renaissance polyphony to swing jazz. The Centre Chorale and the Centre Singers will perform both independently and together.
A unique feature of this concert will be several antiphonal works involving choirs and soloists that make use of the unique acoustical space of the Presbyterian Church sanctuary. Franz Bieble's popular setting of "Ave Maria" and Orlando di Lasso's famous "Echo Song" will both feature "echo" singers performing from the balcony. In Mendelssohn's beautiful "Heilig" (Holy) the combined choirs will surround the audience members enveloping them in a stereophonic wash of sound.
The Centre Chorale will perform two American folk songs accompanied by Centre student Noble Powell. They will also perform a swinging Mac Huff arrangement of Duke Ellington's jazz standard, "It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Swing."
The Centre Singers will open the second half of the concert with a triptych of songs employing the traditional Gregorian chant "Adoro te" (We Adore Thee). Here the peace of the Christian faith will be musically contrasted with the frenetic mischief of the devil as depicted in the modern work "Daemon" by Gyorgy Orban. The Singers will also sing in Polish, Russian, and French before joining the Chorale in the rousing spiritual "Let Me Fly!" to close the concert.
Director Paul McGahie is completing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Choral and Orchestral Conducting at the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati. He has been active as a conductor, chorus master and teacher for two decades. He served as Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor at Pensacola Junior College in Pensacola, FL. He founded the Cleveland Choral Artists, a professional chamber choir.

PURPLE MARTINS - "America's Most Wanted Bird"
In late January 2011, Randy Harlin emailed us to say that he had a thriving colony of Purple Martins at his home in the country north of Marshall. Would we be interested in doing some research with his Martins? Sure! With continued encouragement from Randy, and under the tutelage of the class-act Purple Martin Conservation Association (PMCA), in June 2011 we launched a banding project in which Purple Martin nestlings were fitted with special color bands that will allow Martin "landlords" across the state to identify individual fledglings this year and adults when they return next spring. This re-sight data will enable MRBO and our landlord colleagues to track longevity and dispersal of the fledglings produced at their colonies. Purple Martin nestling banding will continue again next summer, and we are interested in adding a few colonies in other parts of the state. The Missouri landlords who take part in this banding project are highly dedicated individuals who spend a large amount of time observing their birds for bands. In 2011, we banded 800 nestlings and 16 adults. Please see recent articles about this project in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Marshall Democrat-News, and the Licking News.
Our Purple Martin banding follows PMCA protocol, which has been successfully adopted by banders in many different states. Each state receives their own color for Martin bands and each band is etched with the state abbreviation and a serial number (such as A001). Birds banded by MRBO here in Missouri receive a yellow aluminum band with black numbering.These auxiliary bands are in addition to the standard aluminum federal band; the federal band is placed on the birds' right leg, and the yellow band on the left. The serial numbers (in the case of the female pictured to the right "A059") are legible on perched birds with a spotting scope. The Purple Martin Conservation Association also has several other citizen science programs that Martin landlords can become involved in, including Project Martinwatch (nest data collection) and the Scout Arrival Study (recording the first observations of returning Purple Martins each year).
Beginning in 2011, we've had the pleasure of working with excellent Martin landlords in St. Louis, Marshall, Licking, and Platte City, Missouri. These folks are talented and devoted Citizen Scientists who not only provide sound housing for their Purple Martins, but also accurately track the reproductive status of pairs using the colonies, including egg hatch date, number of nestlings, and number of fleglings. This data collection requires checking each nest at least once every 3-5 days. Not only does this allow thelandlord to keep long-term track of the success of their colonies, it lets us know when nestlings are ready to be banded. We've found the optimal age to band nestlings is 11-19 days. When colonies are regularly tracked, the landlords know exactly which gourds or nest cavities are ready for banding. This speeds things up during a banding session, resulting in as little disruption as possible to the colony. Below are more photos of our adventures with Purple Martins and their landlords.
In 2012, we added two new sites to this project, one in Kingsville, MO and one in South St. Louis County. The 2012 Martin season came on fast, likely due to the unseasonably warm weather in May and June. Most of the 2012 nests were already fledged around the time we were at the height of banding in 2011!! Overall in 2012, we banded 1,063 Martin
nestlings and 12 adults. More importantly, our landlords have resighted almost 40 birds that were banded last year!

Happy New Year and welcome to the Rush Hour Mom blog. I've always thought New Year's Resolutions, Schnew Year's resolutions, BUT………I sort of have one. I've been wanting to join the world of blogging. I spend entirely too much time following 5 trillion different blogs. Why not put one more blog out there, right? Should I start a food blog? I have to know how to cook, so, no! I could start an I'm a super crafty lady blog. I have to have time, so, no! Do I have any special skills? What do I have to offer the blogging world that isn't already offered? Drumroll please………….NOTHING! Really, after a couple of weeks of brainstorming, I can't think of a single, special, unique, new idea for a blog.
The Working Mom Project – I'm a working mom. I consider that a seriously huge project. I'm starting this blog in an effort to organize my thoughts and reach out to other working moms. I'm hoping that in publishing my thoughts, feelings, guilt, sense of accomplishment, frustrations and many other ups and downs, that I will find similar stories from other women. There are so many women who I find inspirational for so many different reasons. Women who have amazing ideas for everyday life or for raising their children or for taking care of themselves. This blog, hopefully, will provide insight into the hectic life of a mom who tries like heck to keep up with life while maintaining a full-time job. As I learn how to be a part of blog land, hopefully, this blog will be able to also provide useful info to other awesome ladies, maybe recipes, organization tools………..etc. You can also expect to see multiple photographs of my adorable children and maybe even a couple of my handsome hubs.
Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, foo foo, laa laa…….I'll try to figure out how to connect all of this together with my blog diggity dog!!
I'm so glad you've visited my very first blog post. Please return ASAP!!!

National Elephant Park, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Call + 27 (0) 31 267 0144 for booking & information
Transfrontier Park Expanding horizons – the Futi/Royal Tembe Transfrontier Park A dream of conservationists has been the creation of a 'Golden Horseshoe' - a vast arc of preserved land stretching from the Indian Ocean coast of South Africa, through Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia to the western shore. Tembe Elephant Park is already part of this - it is a core area of the greater Lebombo Transfrontier Conservation Area that incorporates areas in Swaziland, Mozambique and South Africa. This portion of the 'superpark' - the Ndumo Futi Tembe Transfrontier Conservation Area - unites Tembe with the wetlands and pan system of Ndumo Game Reserve. It restores the ancient territories of the elephants in the Futi system and the Rio Maputo wetlands of Mozambique. It gives the great grey giants the freedom to roam along their ancestral routes, to thrive and multiply free of the predations of man. Tembe and Ndumo truly are wilderness - an ever-vanishing natural paradise that is carefully managed and preserved. Hopefully one day the dream of the 'Golden Horseshoe' will become real, and elephants once again will be able to travel from ocean to ocean.
Within this transfrontier conservation area Tembe Lodge has a sister resort, Ponta Mamoli, over the border in Mozambique. Ponta Mamoli is a beach lodge, right on a curving sunlit bay. This lodge offers something completely different: outstanding snorkelling and scuba diving in the marine reserve that forms part of the Transfrontier Park. In one day it is possible to see the biggest animal on land - the Tembe elephant - and the biggest animal in the sea - the whale. A combination of the beach and bush experience brings you the best of both worlds and shows you the magical diversity of this 'superpark', Transfers are available between these two lodges, and attractive accommodation packages for both lodges are on offer.
Visit Tembe and be a part of this inspirational vision for a greener tomorrow!
This Transfrontier Park is an international Peace Parks initiative, for more details visit www.peaceparks.org

Day 3
We woke up at 7:30 and went to the beach and swam in the freezing cold water and played beach football. We left port and 11:00 and were the only boat to have all the sails up. We hit our top speed yet of 9 nots. We did a Joil houst with the Yanky and the Stay. We did a lot of Tacking and when we had a break we did a lot of dancing to YMCA. It was great fun. The best day yet. We arrived at Pool ant 7:00 and cooked a amazing pasta and Bolonaze. We also played the beats out of our speakers and watched Odi street dance.
Day 2
We left Cows at 10:00 and put our motor on till we got out of solent. We got the main sail up, the Stay sail and the Yanky. We did a bit of Tacking but not only with the Yanky and the main. There was light winds and when we turned of the motor we went really slowly and could feel the waves and got sea sick. We hand baked Potato with cheese and beans. 5 people did not get there potato because Fi put the the Potatos on the Grill and burnt them so mr topom saved the day by frying the potatoes.
We arrived in Weymouth at 6:00 and orded fish and chips. After the fish and Chips we went to the Yacht club and watched England sucssecful win over Uraguy. We came back and slept in our hamouks.
Day 1
We arrived at port at about 12:30 and had 30 minuets to get some lunch, at first when I saw the boat I thought it was bigger than I expected.
When we got on the boat we spent 10 minuets downstairs preparing our bags and putting on Crew T-Shirts. After that we met up with Fiona to do the indoor safety procedures and then with Steve upstairs we learnt the ropes.
We sailed off to Cowes in The Isle of Wight; we learnt a lot of the nautical phrases on board and used the ropes. We also got to put up the sail!
We arrived at Cowes at about 7:30 PM, had a dinner of Fajitas and played charades in the night.

2011 Ford Crown Victoria LX Fleet 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A) LX Fleet 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
The car is surprisingly noisy at highway speeds and feels cheap. The road noise coupled with the growling exhaust note at acceleration made me feel like I was driving a smaller import. I was also surprised at how much you feel bumps during normal driving. It didn't have that big car ride. I will give it high marks for braking since it has four wheel disc brakes. The interior is just plain dull and cheap. I guess considering the majority of these become taxis and law enforcement vehicles interior design is not a high priority. My '96 Buick Roadmaster embarrasses this car in every catagory and thats a difference of 15 years!
2011 Ford Crown Victoria LX Fleet 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A) LX Fleet 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
From the first gen mustang, the full size Bronco, the 90's taurus, the 7.3 diesel powerstroke, and now the Crown Victoria; Ford has developed a reputation for killing the winners...Why Ford didnt throw a couple bucks into an updated interior, along with exploring options such as offering this vehicle with the newer Ecoboost and Coyote V-8 engines will forever be a mystery.
Size: For a 4,000+ pound sedan, it doesnt feel like it. Economy: After over 4k miles, Im averaging 26.5mpg. Safety: Body on frame. (To those born after 1980, this means it has a boxed steel frame similiar to what most (real) pickups have today.) Styling: For a 20+ year design, its sleek and long. 17" alloy wheels ad to a sporty look.
Dear Ford, Please bring the Crown Vic back! 1) Coyote V-8 (400+ hp @ 20+mpg) And or Ecoboost 2) Mild interior updates 3) Mild technology updates Guaranteed winner

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is now involved in the investigation of a suspected explosive device found this morning in a Ford Explorer near the intersection of Starlite and Leopard.
Early this morning, an officer pulled over 57-year-old Johnny James Wilkey Junior's Ford Explorer in a business parking lot along Leopard. As the officer approached the vehicle he noticed a suspicious device in a passenger seat.
The driver was taken into custody as the officer called the bomb squad. Just before 1 p.m. the device was safely removed by a remote controlled robot and taken away by the bomb squad.
CCPD Captain David Cook says the device did not contain gunpowder, only shotgun pellets, so at this time Wilkey is not facing a federal charge. Wilkey will face state charges for possession of a hoax explosive device.
However, we're told Wilkey thought the device did contain explosives. There's no word on what he may have intended doing with it.
Federal agents and officers with the Corpus Christi Police Department were searching his home on Blanco Road this afternoon.

I was born at St. Elizabeth Hospital on Appleton, Wisconsin on May 25, 1940. My adoptive parents lived in Eden, Wisconsin, where I lived until I was three. My parents and I moved to Marytown, Wisconsin where my father operated a grocery store.
I attended Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church and School. I entered St. Lawrence Seminary in Mt. Calvary, Wisconsin for high school and then joined the Capuchin Franciscan Order. My novitiate year was spent at St. Felix Friary in Huntington, Indiana and my college years were spent at The Capuchin Seminary of St. Mary in Crown Point, Indiana.
Leaving Crown Point, I entered The Capuchin Seminary of St. Anthony in Marathon, Wisconsin for two years and then joined the staff at St. Elizabeth Parish in Milwaukee. I spend five years on the staff and left the order in 1970, after twelve years of religious life. I was married in 1976 and divorced in 1986.
After leaving the Capuchin Order I worked at a number of places in Milwaukee including The American Lung Association, The United Way of Greater Milwaukee, Sacred Heart School of Theology, The Center For Parish Development in Chicago and finally Genesis Associates, an organization established to assisted churches and other organizations with strategic planning and financial resource development.
I entered St. Francis Seminary in St. Francis, Wisconsin in 2009 and was ordained for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee on May 18, 2002. I served two years as associate pastor and director of outreach ministries at the Cathedral of St. John The Evangelist and in June of 2004 I was appointed pastor of All Saints Catholic church in Milwaukee, where I continue to serve.
I received my college degree from St. Joseph College in Rennselaer, Indiana, a Master of Business in Church Management degree from the Graduate Theological Foundation in Mishawaka, Indiana and a Masters in Pastoral Studies from St. Francis Seminary in St. Francis, Wisconsin.
I am currently Pastor of All Saints and hope to remain here for the foreseeable future.

COCO - Play Drums + Bass LP
K RECORDS (KLP183) | On sale
A new offering from the minimalist soul group; tapping the primal groove while using only the most basic of instrumentation, but this time they decided to travel to the outer limits of the beat. The musical spectrum continues to expand into the nether regions of dub reggae all the way to the sunny side of surf rock. "...these two kids from Olympia, WA bring relentless breakbeats and high hat happiness back to the malnourished indie rock nation. As rock duo White Stripes are to the blues, C.O.C.O. is to the funk"

The main suspects are the hosts, a young couple (Shawn Christian, Elizabeth Lackey) who are house-sitting for the mansion's owners. As Grissom (William L.

Hotel is lovely and very near the castle. Very quiet at night, hotel bars and restaurant are really really expensive. I feel that they are pricing themselves out of the market especially when meals are very reasonable in nearby restaurants. area aroud hotel is not very safe and we were stopped by police on the way home one night, they were very rude and intimidating."
Qubus hotel was conveniently located just across the Jewish district. It has nice swimming pool and jacuzzi which is especially attractive in the winter after the long cold day. One thing missing is the electric tea pot for hot water."
Excellent breakfast, very clean and comfortable room (was a little bit cold the first night, but warmed up adequately later), polite and courteous staff, great location. Everything you could wish for in an excellent mid-range hotel. Highly recommended."
Warsaw Mariott hotel is centrally located. I would probably stay here again if only for the location and the breakfast buffet. The staff were not so efficient nor attentive and the hotel lobby is the pits. The bed sheet in my bed was stained. The room and the beddings were comfortable. The bed and pillows were really soft...it felt like I was sleeping on a cloud....The discounted rates were the best!!!"
A nice, clean, and otherwise excellent place to stay in Warsaw. The reception staff was very professional and helpful during our stay. The only minus would be; no pool area, and that the location of the hotel could have been closer to the old town, and bar streets of Warsaw (if you fancy a walk it doesn't take longer than 15 minutes)."
THe Platinum Residence was a pleasant surprise. Really good rates for a brand new hotel with amazing views of Warsaw. They are very strict about the 2pm check in time so don't get there early. THey turned me away for 3 hours. Maids also do not service the room every day, only on request. I would totally go again. Good restaurants and shops right down stairs."
We have just had 2 nights at the Hilton and would recommend it to everyone. The location is fabulous and we had a view over the river and could see the famous crane from our room. The staff were very helpful and the room was spacious. All the toiletries were a welcome addition as we only had hand luggage! The breakfast was of a very high standard and we were offered a pack up for our flight home as we left at 4am which was very substantial and appreciated. A fabulous place to stay!"
The location of the hotel is perfect, with everything in the walking distance, from the river bank to the old city centre. Gdansk is a beautiful city, the experience is better as the hotel was as good as the city itself."
My girlfriend being italian we came to poland to show her my country. Mercure Gdansk Hevelius was a great hotel to stay at. Coming from Australia this was really cheap compared to Italy where we were a few weeks before. Staff very helpful, rooms of very high standards serviced at 5 star level. It was a very hot day so it was great to come back to a cool room after all the sight seeing. Located short walk from the train station makes this hotel in an ideal location, with plenty of signs pointing to the hotel at Gdansk station. 10 min walk to all the touristy areas. Restaurant is over priced for polish level with plenty of restaurants in gdansk offering a better menu for the dollar. Room service is quite cheap aswell as the mini bar. Over all an excellent stay prob one of the top range hotels across europe."
Like in the title, everything is as it should be and nothing more. Not memorable in positive or negative way. Just one remark for the manager: making reception staff answer phone in a hotel in Poland by saying "Bonjour" is so pretentious and silly. And when they say it in the evening it's just plain incorrect."
the hotel is a minutes walk to a shopping mall, the tourist centre of the panorama is literally on the doorstep and the beautiful river/island area is right behind the hotel. Quite expensive in the hotel compared to the market square. very comfortable and friendly"
We were visiting Wrocklow for a family wedding in the historic part of the city. The hotel's location was excellent, being right on the perimeter of the historic section. The staff were well trained, courteous and extremely helpful. The food in the hotel was excellent, and the bedroom was lovely and clean and well serviced. The en suite bathroom had good facilities with a great walk in shower. For all this, we found the hotel rates inexpensive (except for the price of drink in the hotel lobby bar)"

Michael Bise and Michael Jones McKean
Michael Bise: Epilogues
Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, Fort Worth
January 21 - February 25, 2012
Houston-based artist Michael Bise's meticulous large scale graphite drawings speak for themselves. For that reason alone you should make a trip to see this exhibition. The technical accomplishments, however beautiful, are just a small part of what makes Bise's work so solid. Curator Christina Rees says it best when she calls the drawings, 'epic, beautiful, and disturbing.' The narratives that unfold in the drawings nuances of line and tone are melancholic to be sure, but there is joy there as well—full to the brim with poetry and beauty. Conflicts between our curious, non-linear minds and the dogma of bible-belt religion and politics is a theme underlying much of Bise's work yet seems particularly prescient these days as GOP moralizing fills the airwaves. Weighty themes, dark satire, formal rigor and a razor-sharp wit make this an exhibition not to be missed. My first experience with Bise's work was in 2009 at Betty Moody's venerable Houston gallery. While I may be less than objective when it comes to exceptional drawing, Holy Ghosts! was a knock-out. I expect much of the same from Epilogues, though remain hopeful its title is a misnomer and this isn't the last installment of Bise's work we get to see.
Michael Jones McKean: The Gilded Scab
Parisian Laundry, Montreal, Canada
January 19 - February 25, 2012
Object-oriented philosophies and practices are once again in circulation, if they ever truly went away, which this writer tends to believe. In these ideas we're presented with the suggestion that objects speak through us as much as we act as mouthpieces for them. Objects contain agency and are the things around which we organize ideas, histories, conversations and interactions. The argument is that the object, not us, is the tip of the spear. Michael Jones McKean's work combines artifacts—meteorites, petrified wood—with everyday objects, surrogates and sculptures to create powerful meditations on the history and trajectory of the objects in our world. The Gilded Scab continues this line of inquiry and presents a large steel platform that roughly responds to the galleries architecture. Narratives are suggested and discarded, hierarchies between objects are also dissolved so that moments of solidity and solidarity between the things on display are created. McKean is most interested in how meaning attaches itself to objects via Semiotics, Hermeneutics etc., but his work also highlights the two way street that exists between viewer (if we can call ourselves that) and thing. Exhibitions themselves bear this suggestion out. Philosophies aside, McKean's work is hauntingly beautiful, poetic and deeply engaging in its contortion of objects and their context, making it an absolute must see on any occasion. Plus, you couldn't ask for a better excuse to make a trip to Montreal.

Othonos, Andreas and Zervos, Matthew and Tsokkou, Demetra (2009) Femtosecond Carrier Dynamics in In2O3 Nanocrystals. Nanoscale Research Letters, 4 (6). pp. 526-531.

We have studied carrier dynamics in In2O3 nanocrystals grown on a quartz substrate using chemical vapor deposition. Transient differential absorption measurements have been employed to investigate the relaxation dynamics of photo-generated carriers in In2O3 nanocrystals. Intensity measurements reveal that Auger recombination plays a crucial role in the carrier dynamics for the carrier densities investigated in this study. A simple differential equation model has been utilized to simulate the photo-generated carrier dynamics in the nanocrystals and to fit the fluence-dependent differential absorption measurements. The average value of the Auger coefficient obtained from fitting to the measurements was γ = 5.9 ± 0.4 × 10−31 cm6 s−1. Similarly the average relaxation rate of the carriers was determined to be approximately T =110±10 ps. Time-resolved measurements also revealed ~25 ps delay for the carriers to reach deep traps states which have a subsequent relaxation time of approximately 300 ps.

Driffield's historic Bell Hotel for sale
Posted: August 17, 2013
|By Catherine Lea
WHEN it opened in 1742, Driffield was slowly beginning to emerge as one of the leading market towns in Yorkshire.
The Bell Hotel was originally a coaching inn for the merchants who travelled to the area to buy food and other agricultural products.
Part of the inn's early success comes from its position in Market Place, which in the 18th century was establishing itself as the centre of the town in terms of retail activity.
By the 1780s, a decade after the opening of the canal, Driffield had gone from being a bit of a poor backwater to being the main trading town for corn, taking custom away from places such as Bridlington and Malton.
And, as the town grew, so too the hotel was developed.
Thirty-eight years ago, when George Riggs took ownership of the venue, Concorde was preparing to enter service, Britain was about to suffer the worst drought on record and a pint of beer would set you back about 39p.
The world continues to evolve but Mr Riggs and his wife Rita have been conscious of the hotel's heritage, with antiques and historical artefacts still featured heavily throughout.
Now, Mr Riggs says it is "time to give another owner a turn at running the business" and has put it up for sale.
He said: "Thirty-eight years ago, the hotel was in tatters but we, and the community of Driffield, have spent a lifetime making it a focal point, both architecturally and historically, as well as socially.
"There are a great deal of things here that we have collected, and over the years people have also popped in with various items of interest relating to Driffield and asked if we have wanted them.
"There aren't many towns the size of Driffield that have something like it."
Mr Riggs pointed out that fifty years ago, "every town had a Bell". However, history has gradually taken its toll, with old buildings and original architecture making way for "modern" structures.
"Here we have tried to draw attention to what we have got and to the past," he said. "It is quite unique."
In 1841, the Corn Exchange opened in what is now a central part of the Best Western hotel's interior and over the past 270 years, the venue has welcomed thousands of guests, from Radio 1 DJs and sporting celebrities to wedding parties and tourists from across the globe.
The property is now on the market with a guide price of £1m and specialist property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed with the sale.
David Lee, of Christie & Co, said: "After 38 years of ownership, we understand this was a difficult decision for our clients to sell the hotel.
"The Bell Hotel is an excellent business with many different attributes."

William Dieterle Movies
A stage actor in Germany and Switzerland as a teenager,
William (born Wilhelm) Dieterle
began acting in movies by 1913, and appeared in such memorable '20s films as
Paul Leni
(1924) and
F. W. Murnau
(1926). In 1923 Dieterle also began directing himself in a series of films, including Geschlecht In Fesseln (
Sex in Chains
[1928]). He began his Hollywood career in 1930, directing German-language versions of Those Who Dance (1930),
The Way of All Men
(1930), and
(1944). At Warner Bros., Dieterle scored with
The Last Flight
(1931), the W.C. Fields comedy
Her Majesty
(1931), and the elaborate
A Midsummer Night's Dream
(1935), which he co-directed with
Max Reinhardt
. In the late '30s he helmed Warners' prestigious biopics for actor
Paul Muni
The Story of Louis Pasteur
The Life of Emile Zola
(1937), and
(1939). Moving to RKO in 1939, Dieterle delivered two classics with
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
(1939), starring
Charles Laughton
as Quasimodo; and
The Devil and Daniel Webster
All That Money Can Buy
[1941]), with
Walter Huston
as the Devil. His subsequent Hollywood work of the '40s and '50s was well-crafted but impersonal, notable chiefly for his romantic dramas
Love Letters
(1945) and
Portrait of Jennie
(1948), and the crime films
Rope of Sand
(1949) and
Dark City
(1950). In the late '50s he returned to Europe and directed films in Italy and Germany. ~ Rovi

Quick, Let's Get Married
Though it was made in 1964, this romantic farce was not released until 1971. It stars an aging Ginger Rogers as a prosperous madam who teams up with the crooked town mayor (Ray Milland) and tries to trick one of her "girls" into revealing the location of a famous hidden treasure. The prostitute the two pick on (Barbara Eden) is pregnant and they try to convince her that she has witnessed a miracle. Unfortunately for the schemers, their scheme backfires. During production, the film underwent many changes and was shelved due to a dispute over editing. When it was finally released it bombed and is now considered most notable for containing the screen debut of actor Elliot Gould, who plays a deaf mute. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

This is an out-dated, old-fashioned remake of the 1935 film by Alexander Ivanovsky, a Russian director. Based on a tale by Alexander Pushkin, Dubrovsky (John Forsythe) is a young nobleman whose land is confiscated by a greedy and powerful aristocrat. Determined to get justice one way or another, Dubrovsky gathers together a band of serfs and goes on the rampage like another Robin Hood or Pancho Villa, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Along the way, Dubrovsky falls in love with the daughter (Rossana Schiaffino) of his arch-nemesis, a mistake that takes its toll in the end. This film was an entry at the 1959 Pula Film Festival. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Omar Khayyam
Frank Freeman Jr., son of the longtime head of Paramount Pictures, made his debut as producer with the opulent but empty Omar Khayyam. Cornel Wilde stars as the legendary Persian poet, here depicted as not only a philosopher but a scientist, politician and great lover. As the Persians gear up for war against the Byzantines, Omar occupies his time by romancing Sharain (Debra Paget), the favorite wife of the Shah (Raymond Massey). He also does his best to foil a plan by Hasani (Michael Rennie), leader of the Cult of Assassins, to murder the royal family. While many of the characters and events are based on fact, it is difficult to believe the story or the dialogue for more than ten minutes at a stretch. Singer Yma Sumac, then famous for her four-and-a-half octave vocal range, is somehow woven into the proceedings. When Omar Khayyam laid an egg at the box-office, a Hollywood wit, taking into consideration the Southern heritage of Frank Freeman Jr., assessed the results as "A loaf of bread, a bottle of coke and you-all." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Magic Fire
Filmed in Germany (where it was released in 1954), Republic's Magic Fire is the life story of controversial 19th century composer Richard Wagner. Alan Badel comes off more as villain than hero as Wagner, which though historically accurate makes it hard for the audience to pull for the central character. Wagner's bizarre relationship with Ludwig II (Gerhard Riedmann), the "mad king" of Bavaria, is downplayed, while the composer's vitriolic anti-semitism is ignored altogther. The women in Wagner's life are played by Yvonne de Carlo, Valentine Cortese and Rita Gam, while Carlos Thompson does the "best friend/severist critic" bit as fellow composer Franz Liszt. Dramatically uneven, Magic Fire is rescued by Erich Wolfgang Korngold's orchestrations of Wagner's most famous operatic and symphonic works. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Elephant Walk was several weeks into production when the film's original leading lady, Vivien Leigh, was replaced by Elizabeth Taylor (you can still see Leigh in a few long shots). Based on a novel by Robert Standish, the film casts Taylor as Ruth Wiley, the new bride of solemn plantation owner John Wiley (Peter Finch). At first thrilled at the prospect of living in the wilds of Ceylon, Ruth rapidly becomes a beautiful bird in a gilded cage. When American overseer Dick Carver (Dana Andrews) arrives on the scene, Ruth falls in love. Before she can leave her husband, though, the region is devastated by cholera. Making things worse, the local elephants go on a rampage, destroying her husband's mansion, which his father had maliciously built in the middle of the pachyderm's ancient right of way. Fraught with sexual symbolism, Elephant Walk works on a high-gloss soap opera level. The climactic stampede, however, is disappointingly filmed on a studio interior set, robbing what should have been a rousing climax of much of its credibility. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

"Her Salome Will Steal Your Breath Away" was the classic advertising slogan attached to this opulent Rita Hayworth epic -- a slogan which became laughable whenever a radio announcer would mispronounce Salome as "salami." Using the very sketchy Biblical story of the death of John the Baptist as its springboard, Salome depicts its title character, the stepdaughter of King Herod, as a victim of circumstance rather than a wanton temptress. Banished from Rome because of an unfortunate romance with the nephew of Caesar, Salome (Rita Hayworth) declares that all men are her enemies, but her resolve weakens when she falls in love with Claudius (Stewart Granger), the military commander of Galilee. Meanwhile, Salome's wicked mother, Herodias (Judith Anderson), plots the demise of John the Baptist (Alan Badel), who currently enjoys the protection of the superstitious Herod (Charles Laughton). At this point, the story departs radically from Scripture. Salome is no longer coerced by Herodias to demand the head of John the Baptist; instead, Herodias, on her own, promises Herod that Salome will perform the "Dance of the Seven Veils" for him -- but only if he beheads John first (Salome has been misinformed that the dance will save John from the headsman's sword). Somehow, scriptwriter Jesse Lasky Jr. even manages to concoct a happy ending for poor Salome, which is a lot more than Oscar Wilde or Richard Strauss were able to do. Considered an artistic flop in 1953, Salome seems somewhat better today, if only because of that powerhouse cast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Turning Point
Edmond O'Brien stars as an idealistic state's attorney assigned to crack down on a crime syndicate. This proves more dangerous than first suspected, since the syndicate has a number of city officials in its pocket--including the father of one of the investigating committee's chairpersons. William Holden is the crusading newspaperman who attempts to help O'Brien, but even his efforts are compromised by deeply entrenched political corruption. The climax is staged at a crowded boxing arena, where Holden is struck down by an assassin's bullet intended for O'Brien. Inspired by the real-life Senate investigations of 1951, The Turning Point is neither a remake of a 1917 Paramount silent of the same name, nor was the 1977 ballet-oriented Turning Point a remake of the 1952 film. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Peking Express
Peking Express was the second remake of Josef vonSternberg's Shanghai Express. In the original film, a group of railroad passengers escaping war-torn China are overtaken by Chinese; in the first remake, Night Plane to Chungking, a plane is forced down in a jungle surrounded by Japanese troops. In Peking Express, the chief villains are Chinese again, but the passengers are now refugees of the Communists. Joseph Cotten (as a doctor) and Corinne Calvet (as a "woman of the world") are among the pilgrims threatened by Oriental outlaw Marvin Miller and his gang. The elements of social and religious hypocrisy in the original Shanghai Express are downplayed in the 1951 version, as is the shady past of leading lady Calvet (who inadequately fills the role originated by Marlene Dietrich). Peking Express is not the classic that the vonSternberg film had been, but on its own is a snappy little melodrama. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Boots Malone
William Holden plays Boots Malone, a dishonest--and impoverished--jockey's agent. Malone sees a chance to crack the big time through the talents of young jockey John Stewart. Stewart's wealthy mother wants to remove the boy from the rarefied world of the race track, but it is Malone himself who destroys his friendship with Stewart by ordering the boy to throw the race, or else they'll be put on the spot by gangsters. Malone's last-minute regeneration restores Stewart's faith in him. Filmed on location, Boots Malone is a satisfying horse-race drama, though one might expect a little something extra from star William Holden and director William Dieterle. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Red Mountain
The rugged Colorado Territory provides the setting for this epic Civil War-era western chronicle of a Southern rebel who sets off to join Captain Quantrill's raiders. Along the way, the rebel kills a Union supporter who had stolen the rebel's land. Unfortunately, he leaves a different Confederate to shoulder the blame. Fortunately, just before the falsely-accused is to get lynched, the rebel dashes up to save him. Not realizing his savior is also the one who got him into the fix, the grateful man takes the rebel to his isolated cabin to hide. There the rebel meets his new friend's fiancee. Things are fine until she learns the truth about the rebel. He takes off into the wilderness with the lovers in hot pursuit. They all end up lost and forced to seek shelter in a cave after the woman's hapless lover slips and breaks his leg. While delirium overtakes the injured man, romantic sparks fly between the rebel and the girl. One day, the rebel sees Quantrill's band and rides down to meet them. It is then that he discovers an awful truth and so rides off to set things right. The character of Captain Quantrill is based on an actual historical figure. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Released in Italy in 1950, Volcano didn't receive widespread American distribution until it was picked up by United Artists in 1953. The film is a standard "smoldering passions" yarn, with the ubiquitous Anna Magnani in the lead. In accordance with postwar Italian law, prostitute Maddelena Natoli (Magnani) is sentenced to spend the rest of her life in disgrace in her hometown. Returning to the island of Vulcano, Maddelena tries to connect with her younger sister (Geraldine Brooks) and brother (Enzo Stajola), who greet her with hostility. Her only solace is the love of deep-sea diver Donato (Rosanno Brazzi), whose own past is as checkered as Maddelena's. The story is resolved by Mother Nature herself, during a spectacular volcanic eruption. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Paid in Full
Lizabeth Scott and Diana Lynn are both effectively cast against type in Paid in Full. Scott plays Jane Langley, the spectacularly self-sacrificial older sister of selfish, reckless Nancy Langley (Lynn). Though she is in love with Bill Prentice (Robert Cummings), Jane gives him up to Nancy. And when Jane accidently causes the death of Nancy's child, she vows to makes amends by the most direct means possible. What follows is within the Production Code guidelines of the era -- but just barely. An unabashed "woman's picture" (that's what they called them back in 1949), Paid in Full doesn't always play well today, since viewers might be tempted to yell "Get real, Lizabeth!" at the screen. Still, it worked beautifully for its original target audience, especially those who'd read the factual Reader's Digest article upon which it was based. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Though he had previously appeared in David Bradley's film adaptation of Julius Caesar, Dark City marked Charlton Heston's first role in a major Hollywood production. Danny (Heston) and his pals Augie (Jack Webb), Soldier (Henry Morgan), and Barney (Ed Begley Sr.) set up a poker game to take Arthur Winant (Don DeFore) for all his money, but after the fact they discover that the money he lost wasn't really his and, in desperation, Arthur killed himself. Arthur's brother Sidney (Mike Mazurki), a large man not known for his emotional stability, becomes enraged when he learns the facts about Arthur's death, and he vows to kill the men responsible. When his friends start dropping like flies, Danny hides out with his girlfriend, nightclub singer Fran Garland (Lizabeth Scott), and pays a visit to Arthur's widow Victoria (Viveca Lindfors) in hopes of finding out who the killer might be. Jack Webb and Henry Morgan later reformed after their first appearance together as criminals when they co-starred in the TV show Dragnet. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

September Affair
With location scenes lensed in Italy, September Affair is consistently good to look at, even when the pacing flags and the dialogue becomes too verbose. Joan Fontaine and Joseph Cotten star as married couple Manina and David. Trouble is, they're not married to each other. Through a series of misunderstandings, Manina and David are listed among the victims of a plane crash. Since the world at large considers them dead, the couple decides to start a whole new life together. Eventually, however, the guilt they share regarding their respective spouses overrides their passions. September Affair is remembered today as the film that catapulted a 12-year-old record -- Walter Huston's rendition of "September Song" -- to the top of the 1950 hit parade. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Producer Hal Wallis evidently hoped to recapture the magic of his earlier Casablanca with 1949's Rope of Sand. To that end, he hired three of Casablanca's supporting players: Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, and Peter Lorre. This time, Henreid is the villain, a sadistic police inspector named Paul Vogel. Stationed somewhere in Africa, Vogel hopes to find a legendary lost diamond field. His principal rival in this endeavor is jewel thief Mike Davis (Burt Lancaster), who continues bouncing back from every death trap lain for him by the ill-tempered Vogel. The scenes in which Davis is subjected to various physical tortures is pretty raw for a 1940s film. Claude Rains co-stars as a diamond syndicate head misleadingly named Toady, while Peter Lorre does his shifty-mercenary act. Billed ninth as the nominal heroine is Hal Wallis' latest discovery, French actress/singer Corinne Calvet. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In Portrait of Jennie, Joseph Cotten plays an artist, Eben Adams, who is unable to bring any true feeling to his work. While painting in Central Park one morning, Eben makes the acquaintance of a schoolgirl named Jennie (Jennifer Jones), who prattles on about things that happened years ago. Intrigued at her thorough knowledge of the past, Eben is about to converse with her further, but Jennie has vanished. Over the next few months, Eben meets Jennie again and again -- and each time she seems to have aged by several years. He paints her portrait, which turns out to be more full of expression and emotion than anything he's previously done. His curiosity peaked by Jennie's enigmatic nature, Eben uncovers evidence that he has been conversing -- and falling in love -- with the ghost of a girl who died years earlier in a hurricane. On the eve of the hurricane's anniversary, Eben rushes to meet Jennie at the site where she was supposedly killed. As a new storm rages, Jennie vanishes for good, but not before declaring that the love she and Eben have shared will live forever. Rescued from the storm, Eben convinces himself that Jennie was a mere figment of his imagination. Then he notices that he stills clutches her scarf in his hand. He looks at his portrait of Jennie (the only Technicolor shot in this otherwise black-and-white film) and understands what she meant when she said that their love would endure throughout eternity; it will do so through Cotten's art, both the portrait at hand and all future portraits. Based on the novel by Robert Nathan, Portrait of Jennie is one of the most beautifully assembled fantasies ever presented onscreen. Producer David O. Selznick's unerring eye for "rightness" enabled him to select the perfect stars, supporting cast (Lillian Gish, Ethel Barrymore, David Wayne, Cecil Kellaway, et al.), director, cinematographer (Joseph August), and composer (Dimitri Tiomkin, who based his themes on the works of Debussy), and blend everything into one ideally balanced package. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Accused
The Accused is a mystery melodrama with a predictable plot involving blackmail, attempted rape and murder. Loretta Young stars as Wilma Tuttle, a prim and proper college professor who unwittingly arouses the libido of student Bill Perry (Douglas Dick). When Perry tries to rape Wilma under cover of darkness, she beats him to death with a tire iron. Appalled by her own rash behavior, she tries to cover up her crime by making it seem as though Perry was killed while diving into the sea from a precipitous cliff. But as she follows the police investigation of Perry's death, Wilma realizes that she'll never be able to escape the prison of her own conscience -- especially when she falls in love with Warren Ford (Robert Cummings), the dead boy's guardian. Wendell Corey delivers the film's best performance as a quietly efficient homicide lieutenant who suspects that Wilma knows more than she's letting on. The Accused was adapted by Ketti Frings from the novel by June Truesdell. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Searching Wind
The troublesome years "between the wars" provide the backdrop for the romantic drama The Searching Wind. Adapted by Lillian Hellman from her own stage play, the film stars Robert Young as Alex Hazen, an idealistic but incredibly naïve US ambassador who fails to heed the warning signals when Mussolini and then Hitler ascend to power in Europe. Feeding into Hazen's ingenuousness is his beautiful but shallow wife Emily (Ann Richards), who is far more preoccupied with tuxedos and dinner gowns than with brown shirts and Nazi armbands. Only journalist Cassie Bowman (Sylvia Sidney), a character obviously based on playwright Hellman, can foresee the impending horror-even when her judgment is occasionally clouded by her undying love for Hazen. Benefiting from the mistakes of his elders is the Hazens' son Sam (Douglas Dick), who represents the "Never Again" viewpoint of the post-WW2 years. The Searching Wind was the sort of politically supercharged fare that earned Hellman condemnation as a "premature anti-fascist" during the infamous Hollywood Blacklist. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ayn Rand wrote this adaptation of Chris Massie's book Pity Mr. Simplicity, about a soldier who falls in love with a former comrade's wife -- an amnesiac who may have murdered her husband. The story begins in Italy when two soldiers, Allen Quinton (Joseph Cotten) and Roger Morland (Robert Sully), hatch a scheme concerning Singleton (Jennifer Jones), his girl back home. Allen agrees to write love letters to Singleton for his friend and, based on the heartfelt emotions evident in the letters, she falls in love with Roger. Returning home, Singleton and Roger marry, but Roger proves to be a drunken, abusive husband. One night, as Roger is beating Singleton, he is stabbed to death by her stepmother. Singleton goes in to shock, rendering her unable to recall the murder, while her stepmother has a stroke, making her unable to speak. Accused of murder, Singleton is sentenced to a year in jail.

Oriental Dream is the TV title for the 1944 Technicolor version of Kismet. Ronald Colman plays Hadji, "king of beggars" in the days of the Arabian Nights. Posing as a prince, Colman woos Marlene Dietrich, the favorite wife of the evil Wazir (Edward Arnold). Meanwhile, Colman's daughter Joy Ann Page falls in love with handsome Caliph James Craig--while the Wazir connives to get Page into his own harem. Several plot convolutions later, Colman ends up with Dietrich, Page winds up with Craig, and the Wazir winds up six feet under. Kismet was based on the war-horse stage play by Edward Knoblock, previously filmed in 1920 and 1930 with the play's original star Otis Skinner. The title Oriental Dream was bestowed upon the 1944 Kismet when it was remade as a musical in 1955. The earlier version had its musical moments as well, notably a delicious dance number spotlighting Dietrich, painted gold head from head to toe; an additional dance sequence was cut, but later showed up in the Abbott and Costello comedy Lost in a Harem (1944). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Artist Statement
The pieces are expressed in two layers: the materials that I paint on, and what is painted on this surface. Both of these elements are integral to the work, the surface having as much relevance as the images that follow. At times the work is simply composed on wood panels. At other times I choose from a collection of found materials that may include old table tops, cabinet doors, and pieces of scrap wood and metal. These items may be assembled, using their surface as the background for the painting or covered with texture paste. More recently, I have been working with odds and ends … left over bits from previous works – small wood blocks wrapped in canvas, as well as trace paper folded and taped together.
What is then placed on these backgrounds is unplanned. Line drawings, markings, painted strokes and scribbles are made with oil, lumber stick, resin stick, charcoal, graphite and ink. I create these drawings/markings predominantly with my non-dominant hand. The use of my left hand allows me to draw in an unpracticed manner, and often rescues me from over-thinking the work. I am inspired by those things in our environment that have become worn or distressed by nature or human intervention, such as the billboard that has been partially stripped away, a wall that is peeling away layers, or a metal utility phone box plastered with paper. These visual encounters remind me of the nature, beauty and simplicity of the process of aging, the process of change.
In a subtle way, my work mirrors these steps –
building and stripping away – engaging in and allowing a process of change
to be a part of the work.
I am not conscious of representing a specific story or idea as I work. The exact
meaning of a piece in many instances eludes me. In the end, I am more often
struck by an emotional response to what I paint and draw.

text: RootDiscoverForums: eclipse.ufacekit[nntp]UFaceKit user newsgroup EngageEngage with the project. Get the code. Build products based on this technology.Scope: Since the 3.3 release, Eclipse ships an actively developed and extended data binding framework (Eclipse Data Binding) that eases the development of UI applications backed by a model. At the time of the 3.4 release of Eclipse, the Eclipse Data Binding framework had been adopted by many RCP applications and new libraries supporting model implementations (EMF) besides JavaBeans(tm). So far, we have not seen support for other widget toolkits (such as for example Swing, GWT, etc.) although the main framework is designed to make this possible. This means that the Eclipse Data Binding framework cannot currently be used in applications which are not using SWT and JFace, although there is no good reason not to do so. UFacekit was started in December 2007 by James Strachan and Tom Schindl (Angelo Zerr and Kenneth Westelinck joined the project later) with the following set of targets: Promote reuse of rich UI code across Eclipse (JFace/SWT), GWT and Swing runtimes by providing a facade around different UI-Technologies.

I loved this simple shift pattern from the 2/2013 Burdastyle issue # 118. However, I couldn't find fabric that I liked which would be similar to what was used in the magazine's photos. I did stumble on this wool boucle and apart from the fraying it was easy to work with. I didn't add the little fringe detail because I just didn't care for it.
No zippers or buttons and a snap to sew! I've already worn it twice to work with a cardigan.
1.5 boucle, interfacing, thread

Your dress is so lovely, this style is so good on you!! I like that you try so many burda patterns, many of them are in my wish list, this one is is one of them!

Thank you! I think you're going to love this pattern. You can really do a lot like add buttons, use different fabric and no zippers unless you really need it.

I have a boucle fabric very similar to the burda model. My only problem is that I'm afraid that this pattern will not be very tummy friendly:))

Actually, I think this pattern should be okay for the tummy because it is not fitted around the waist and the A-line is flattering for I think nearly all shapes. I think you can try a muslin first to see if you like it without messing up your good fabric.
