Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Wonderland bears certain rough similarities to A Garden of Earthly Delights. It follows three generations of a family through stages of rage, searching, and emptiness. It offers critical comment on the lust for knowledge and power. It spans a particular period of American political and economic history. It moves irregularly, with sudden shifts and changes. It also draws on another work of art as a model. Wonderland, is, however, stylistically much less naturalistic, its commentary more satirical, and its concern for the issues of dislocation and identity more fully focused on a single central character, Jesse.
As the title suggests, Oates used Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) as a thematic source for her novel. Like Alice, Jesse bursts into new worlds and must deal with characters that verge on caricatures and that parallel the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, and others. Oates has taken Carroll's thematic framework and applied it sharply and imaginatively to the American scene.
The novel begins abruptly: Fourteen-year-old Jesse Harte returns home one day to find his family murdered by his crazed father. Jesse escapes through a window (like Alice's "looking glass") and is orphaned by his father's suicide. Emotionally numbed, Jesse embarks on a passive search for replacements—for a father figure, for a home, for a viable belief system, for a name that is truly his. He lives...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
One December day, fourteen-year-old Jesse Harte comes home to find his family brutally murdered and his crazed, chronically unemployed, and spiritually desolate father coming after him with a shotgun. Jesse barely escapes through a window; his father's subsequent suicide leaves him to make his way alone as a traumatized orphan. He first goes to live with his silent, bitter grandfather, where he takes the surname Vogel for a time. That proves to be unacceptable, so he moves on to his uncomprehending cousins, and then to an orphanage.
Eventually, he encounters and comes to live with the Pedersen family. The father, Karl, is a dogmatic morphine-addicted doctor/mystic; the mother, Mary, is an obsequious alcoholic; the son, Frederich, is a blithering piano virtuoso; and the daughter, Hilda, is an angry mathematical genius. The Pedersens are all grotesquely obese, and, with them, Jesse swells accordingly. He takes their surname and their ways and strives to become one of them. He never gives himself completely, however, to the doctor's maniacal and philosophical egoism. In the end, after helping Mrs. Pedersen in an aborted attempt to escape, Jesse is disowned, dislocated, and, again, left homeless and nameless.
He once again becomes Jesse Vogel. He attends college at the University of Michigan, studying medicine. An excellent student, he comes under the tutelage and influence of Dr. Benjamin Cady, Dr. Roderick Perrault, and an errant...

Weekend Edition Sept 20: It's just preseason, plus enforcers and new season resolutions
Where did Mikhail Grabovski choose to sign? How is hockey doing across the world? Answers to these questions and more in today's edition of the Tracks.
Traditionalists will scoff at the idea - a non-traditional market, far from the border, hosting this winter rite of junior hockey - but that doesn't mean the idea is implausible.
The 82-game schedule for all 30 NHL teams, which were due to be released Wednesday, hang in limbo with thanks to an ongoing negotiation.
After months of meetings, it appears as if the National Hockey League will participate in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia.
A few Tampa Bay Lightning players hope to play for their country at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia... That is, if the IIHF and NHL can reach an agreement for NHL players to participate.
Was the IIHF's four-game suspension of Canadian Griffin Reinhart for a slash to the head justified, as it may keep him out of next year's tournament altogether.
Canada will vie for bronze without Griffin Reinhart. The U.S. will try to dethrone the reigning champs.
In the end the only two Habs prospects in the tournament will face off for the gold medal.
This was the expected gold medal medal game, both Canadians and Russians are disappointed to be here, but both want to save face.

So I just shot 2 short films this past week with some friends on the Red Epic. The camera was surprisingly easy and produced beautiful images. I don't get why so many people say it is really hard to use- sure cameras have problems occasionally, but by in large, to me it felt like an ipod- with its touch screen and navigation. To me, Red is to new independents as 16mm was to the French.
Anyway, I need to know a few things:
I plan on renting a red rocket, since I know that speeds up render times and transcoding, but where can I rent one from I am Atlanta based and would only need one for about a day.
This is what my workflow is going to be like, I guess (please correct me if I am wrong):
RedCineX light grade -> Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)
Edit in FCP7-> Export an XML
Reconnect the XML to R3D files in Davinci Resolve to export a final 1080p and do final color correction?
How do I get to a 4k output for festivals? I can use premiere right?
Also, how do I go about using RedCineX what settings do I apply?
Thank you so much, reduser.


text: As T.J. Hooker launches its third season, the titular Hooker (William Shatner), a police sergeant, can take justifiable pride in the fact that two of his trainees, Officers Vince Romano (Adrian Zmed) and Stacy Sheridan, have both graduated to street patrol. Hooker remains partnered with Romano, while Stacy's partner is veteran officer Jim Corrigan (James Darren) -- introduced at the end of season two, and now a full series regular. Recognizing Heather Locklear's popularity (she was then also appearing on the nighttime soap opera Dynasty), the producers made certain that viewers would see more of Stacy during T.J. Hooker's third season -- sometimes literally so, as when our heroine goes undercover as an exotic dancer. Evidently not to be upstaged, Adrian Zmed likewise poses as a male stripper in another episode, while William Shatner also gets to don an unusual disguise -- as a department store Santa! Beginning this season, Hugh Farrington, a real-life paraplegic, makes a number of memorable appearances in the recurring role of wheelchair-bound Detective Pete O'Brien, a longtime pal of T.J. Hooker with an uncanny talent for sniffing out clues at any crime scene. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Last month, I had the opportunity to visit an Amish family in their home. Talk about fascinating! I was filled with some major inspiration, and I've got a lot of posts planned to share what I learned and saw.
But today, I want to get to the foundation of how my time with them changed me. You see, I had a lot of opinions about the Amish that came from lots of different sources–family members, media, books, and word-of-mouth. (I grew up in an Amish-centric town, so word of mouth was always plentiful.)
The couple I visited was around 70 years old, I'd guess. Their 16-year-old granddaughter was there that day to help her grandmother with canning. The couple's youngest son also lived on the property in a separate house with his wife and children, but they weren't able to join us for the conversation. For purposes of this post and future posts, I'm going to refer to the older couple as Eli and Esther (Names are changed to protect their wish for privacy).
One of the questions on my list was fairly personal. But I knew I'd regret it if I didn't ask. "What drives you or propels you to live the way you do?" They both thought for a moment. Then they mentioned the following things.
- The community spirit and love gives them the security that they will always be cared for.
- By separating themselves from the world, their faith is clearer to others. They used the example of going to the store. When someone sees them, they know immediately what they believe…or at least a basic understanding.
- Avoiding modern technology keeps them further from temptation. I think anyone who has a TV in their home can appreciate this. The traps are everywhere, aren't they?
Then after they'd said all these things, Eli said in his soft-spoken voice, "But it all stems back to salvation in Jesus Christ."
Now to the average listener, this may not be all that shocking. But for me, it turned my thinking on its axis. For some reason, I'd thought that the Amish faith was driven by works alone…I can't tell you where I picked up that thought…It was just there. So to see this couple express their faith and the reasons for it built in me a whole new respect.
I understand that there are many, many different groups of Amish who live out their faith in different ways and for different reasons. (And isn't this true in the modern Christian church as well?) But in this particular family, I saw a genuine desire to please Christ and living the Amish faith was the best way they knew to do it.
So what about you? What have been your initial perceptions of the Amish faith? What sources have fed those perceptions? Does this post change your view of them at all? (And if you have any specific questions about my visit with this family, leave them in a comment and I'll try to address what I can in future posts.)
On a completely unrelated note, have you visited Krista Phillips's blog today?! She's sharing some super exciting news!!! Be sure to hop on over there!

For H/P RPs. Originally Posted by Aries (Without the Stubble) Name: Nicodemus "Nico" Katsaros (Nih-ko-dee-mus - Nih-ko - Cat-sar-os) Age/Year at Hogwarts: 16/6th Appearance: He stands at a reasonably tall 6'0 and has an athletic build due to his interest in the more aggressive approach of magic (i.e. Defense Against The Dark Arts) and his interest in sport. Due to his Hellenic origin, he has light, olive skin and brown-green eyes. His dark brown hair is cut quite short, in means to increase practicality. House: Gryffindor Favoured spell: In School: Flipendo (Knockback Jinx) At Home: Using his Animagi form (Falcon), which he is not allowed to use at Hogwarts- however, his grandparents allow it within the restrictions of their farm. Wand: Cypress, 11½", Phoenix Feather, Unyielding History: Nico was born to a single-mother named Isidora Katsaros, a half-british, half-greek witch who worked as an Auror for the Greek Ministry of Magic. Nico spent the first year of his life in Athens, Greece, but when his mother was sent on duty to England to help the British Ministry of Magic fight Voldemort's ever-amassing army, Nico was put in to the care of his grandparents who lived and worked on a South Yorkshire farm. Both of his grandparents were ex-Aurors, who were long retired. Nico spent very little time in England before news was received that his mother had been killed by a death eater- of course, only a small child, Nico was oblivious to this and accepted the farm as his home. Life fell in to a cycle- a tiring one, but a one that Nico enjoyed. In the morning he would help his grandfather with the farm before heading out to school- in the afternoon, he would work some more, and, sometimes, his grandfather would teach him magic. From a young age Nico's grandfather knew of his power, so, for Nico, having magic in his blood was just everyday life. His grandfather, an Animagi, often showed Nico his power, and even taught him the basics, which the boy failed to master, but on his 11th birthday, he learned that everything would change, as magic would change from a hobby to his full-time focus- he received a letter from Hogwarts. Initially, he was exited, and his grandmother supported the school, as that was where she had went- but Nico's grandfather was not so enthusiastic- he said that Hogwarts was a hypocritical school- a school that would not allow advanced magic (such as an Animagi's magic) but one that was constantly surrounded by danger- this led to Nico joining the Durmstrang Institute instead. Nico did not like Durmstrang, as he did not get a chance to go home on holidays, other than the summer. Nico spent three years at Durmstrang, learning and perfecting his Animagi form- a falcon. However, at 14, he believed himself to be old enough to defend himself from the dangers of Hogwarts, so, reluctantly his grandfather allowed him to transfer to the Scottish school, which, so far, Nico has preffered. Nico does not know if he is Pure or Half-Blood, as he does not know his father's identity. Personality: Nico is quick-witted and suave. He likes to think he has a good sense humor, and, because of this, he has, in the past, got in to a considerable amount of trouble for 'messing around' in classes. He can make friends quite easily, as he has the confidence to speak up unlike some of the more reclusive types who sit alone in the library. He, generally, is quite a friendly person and will welcome company of any kind, though, sometimes, he can come in to conflicts where his personality changes completely, for example, he can get very aggressive and stubborn if he is involved in a fight, or he is insulted. He is very loyal to his friends, and will often stick up for them even when it's maybe not the best idea. Other: He is quite talented at Quidditch and plays as a Keeper. He is one of the few, if not the only, hogwarts student who is an Animagi. Pet- Has a large Maine Coon cat named Poseidon. Boggart- Voldemort and his Death Eaters Patronus- Falcon Worst Fear- Death Eaters, Voldemort YIPEEKEIGHEY

Gregory Harrison Movies
During his days of prominence in the '80s, handsome, powerfully built American actor
Gregory Harrison
became the unofficial poster boy of the Catalina Island chamber of commerce. As a native of that offshore isle, Harrison frequently guested on talk and variety shows, elucidating the natural wonders of both Catalina and the Avalon resort. A graduate of New York's Actors Studio, Harrison briefly supported himself as a nightclub doorman before securing small film and TV roles. Harrison's most memorable credits were for the small screen: He played Logan 5 on
Logan's Run
(1977), Michael Sharpe on the final 1989-90 season of Falcon Crest, and the title role in the brief 1990 sitcom
The Family Man
. Harrison's longest TV-series run was seven seasons (1979-86) as "Gonzo" Gates, the Vietnam-vet doctor on
Trapper John MD
(1979-86). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A legendary gunman discovers why sometimes the simplest-sounding missions can also be the most dangerous when he attempts to recover a briefcase containing "the meaning of love" from a five-star hotel. Even the worst criminals tremble with fear upon hearing the name Malone (Thomas Jane). If only half of the rumors surrounding the tough-as-nails triggerman are true, then he's still the meanest guy ever to walk these unforgiving streets. Some say that Malone picked up his first gun after gangsters killed his entire family, and those are the most optimistic rumors concerning his shady background. Contacted by his point man, Murph, and asked to retrieve a briefcase from a haughty local hotel, Malone makes quick work of the thugs and hitmen who've been awaiting his arrival. But Malone didn't expect to walk into a shoot-out, and after pressing Murph for more information, he discovers that the man who contracted him for the perilous assignment was none other than powerful local mob boss Whitmore. Now that he has the briefcase, Malone is supposed to give it to blonde bombshell Evelyn (Elsa Pataky), who will in turn deliver it to Whitmore in exchange for her brother Sammy. Should the briefcase fail to materialize, Sammy will pay the ultimate price. Meanwhile, suspecting that the case contains work visas for a group of immigrant girls he wants to put to work as prostitutes, Whitmore recruits hulking giant Boulder (Ving Rhames) and blade-wielding psycho Mauler (Chris Yen) to get the briefcase back from Malone. Should they fail in achieving this simple task, deranged pyromaniac Matchstick (Doug Hutchison) will almost certainly succeed. Later, at the drop-off, Mauler kills Sammy, sparking an intense shoot-out during which Malone and Evelyn are separated. With nowhere to run and the three thugs fast gaining ground, Malone vows to protect the contents of the case and take down Whitmore once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Filmmaker Mark Hartley explores Australia's hidden genre in this documentary that casually casts aside "official" film history to celebrate the demented genius of director Brian Trenchard-Smith, and the exciting wave of little-known but supremely entertaining films that entertained adventurous Australian filmgoers throughout the 1970s and '80s. Every film student worth his or her weight in celluloid has seen Breaker Morant and Picnic at Hanging Rock, but what about the lesser-known gems that didn't make the film-school textbooks? In his forward to Tim Lucas' book Mario Bava: All the Colors of the Dark, director Martin Scorsese states, "We have to keep resisting the idea of official film history, a stately procession of 'important works' that leaves some of the most exciting films and filmmakers tucked away in the shadows." In this documentary, director Hartley explores the films forgotten by "official film history" with the comprehensive eye of a true film buff. As a child watching such films as Snapshot and The Man from Hong Kong, Hartley immediately recognized how wildly disparate they were in tone and execution from the films that comprised Australia's traditional film library. Appearing like American genre films that just happened to be shot in Australia and cast with Australian actors, these so-called "Ozploitation" flicks flourished in the wake of relaxed censorship laws down under. Yet despite constant chatter about the "new wave" of Australian cinema, financially successful films like The Man from Hong Kong and Patrick that were popular both at home and abroad were never mentioned, sneeringly dismissed as "genre" films rather than Australian films. Perhaps in the wake of such successful Australian films as Wolf Creek and Undead -- and looking ahead to such films as the slasher shocker Storm Warning and the eagerly anticipated remake of Long Weekend -- curious filmgoers are finally prepared to discover what they've been missing all these years. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

First Shot is the third in a series of cable TV movies focusing on fearless female Secret Service agent Alex McGregor (Mariel Hemingway), following First Daughter and First Target. Newly promoted to head of Secret Service in Washington, Alex is determined to safeguard the President (Gregory Harrison) from a militia rebel group that has already killed 40 soldiers in a domestic terrorist attack. But until her husband, Grant (Doug Savant), is kidnapped, Alex is unaware that she, too, is on the terrorists' "hit list" -- and that she is already in the cross-hairs of a fanatical sharpshooter (Dean Wray). First Shot debuted August 11, 2002, on the TBS Superstation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Touched by an Angel: Forever Young
Life has been Hell on Earth for Don and Stacey Costello (Gregory Harrison, Donna Bullock) since their own daughter Kimmie (Bethany Richards) was murdered. Especially affected by the tragedy is Don's career as a motivational speaker, which is rapidly going down the tubes. Worse still, the Costellos' bitterness has trickled down to their son Justin (Myles Jeffrey), who is now in big trouble at school. Posing as a child therapist, Gloria (Valerie Bertinelli) tries to smooth things out for Justin, but her efforts may be sabotaged by her own curiously misfire efforts to help Don get his act together. Ultimately, Justin makes a startling revelation to explain why that he, even more than her murderer, feels responsible for Kimmie's death. And at the close of this eighth-season Touched by an Angel finale, life goes on in a mysterious but wonderful way...thanks to Kimmie. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Au Pair II
This sequel to the 2000 cable movie Au Pair finds wannabe executive Jenny Morgan (Heidi Lenhart) still working as the nanny for the children of widowed CEO Oliver Caldwell (Gregory Harrison). Oh, and Jenny and Oliver still aren't married, and are keeping their romance a secret for fear of offending Oliver's imperious mother-in-law Nell Grayson (June Lockhart). The BIG COMPLICATION this time around attends the merger between Caldwell's firm and the company run by zillionaire Carl Sennhauser, whose avaricious grown children Cassandra (Rachel York) and Michael (Robin Dunne) intend to use Jenny to financially ruin Oliver. As before, Oliver's kids Alex (Jake Dinwiddie) and Kate (Katie Volding) come to the rescue of practically everyone--and in the bargain, they continue playing matchmaker for their dad and their nanny. Also looming large in the scheme of things is Carl Sennhauser's precocious grandniece Brigitte (Celine Massuger). Filmed on location in Austria, Au Pair II made its first Fox Family Channel appearance on April 22, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Canone Inverso
Recalling François Girard's The Red Violin, Canone Inverso - Making Love is a multi-layered, multi-generational tale of music, fate, and passion. Based on the novel by Paolo Maurensig, the film opens in pre-WWII Europe, where Jeno, a half-Jewish boy, lives in relative poverty with his mother. His father, who abandoned his wife and son, left them with only a rare violin and a canone inverso, a traditional composition written for two instruments. During Jeno's (Hans Matheson) adolescence, his mother dies, and in the wake of her death, he is drawn to Sophie Levy (Melanie Thierry), a married, French Jewish pianist with whom he develops a close relationship. At Sophie's encouragement, Jeno applies for a scholarship to a music conservatory; there, he meets David Blau (Lee Williams), an aristocratic cad who becomes a great influence in Jeno's life. When Jeno is expelled from the school for being Jewish, David quits in protest and takes his friend back to his father's estate. It is at the estate that Jeno discovers a piece of music written by David's father that sparks a revelation about his family heritage -- and his connections to David and Sophie. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

First Target
In the made-for-TV First Target, Daryl Hannah stars as feisty and combative U.S. Secret Service agent Alex McGregor, a role created by Mariel Hemingway in the earlier TV movie First Daughter. This time around, Alex finds herself attempting to prevent the assassination of the President of the United States in a "wide open" Washington State national park. Offering assistance every step of the way is Alex's fiancé, Grant Carlson (Doug Savant), who might otherwise be neglected altogether by the understandably preoccupied heroine. Boasting gorgeous scenery (it was filmed in British Columbia) and a particularly cunning villain, First Target was originally telecast over TBS on October 15, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Murder at 75 Birch
Suggested by a real-life homicide case which occurred in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in 1986, the made-for-TV Murder at 75 Birch gets underway when the wife of dentist Rick Todson (Gregory Harrison) is killed. According to Rick, his late spouse Pat (Wendel Meldrum) had been murdered by a burglar, a story the police find hard to swallow. One person who is willing to stand by Rick is his sister-in-law Gwen (Melissa Gilbert)--and when Gwen's own husband Dave (Vyto Ruginis) dies in a car accident, she turns to Rick for comfort and solace. Ultimately Gwen falls in love with Rick, but their relationship begins to unravel after a series of strange incidents which suggest that the authorities' suspicions concerning Rick's involvement in his wife's death were not entirely groundless. Reaching a tense climax as Gwen and the police work together to crack the case, Murder at 75 Birch first aired February 9, 1999 on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

After the death of her father Doug (Drew Snyder), standup comedienne Natalie (Arabella Field) is obliged to clean up the mess left behind in Doug's cluttered garage. Under the watchful eye of angel Andrew (John Dye), Natalie unearths a long-suppressed secret: Her mother Amanda (Linda Lavin), whom she presumed to be dead, is actually living in a mental institution. Reluctant to make an emotional commitment to a woman who is a total stranger to her, Natalie is galvanized by a horrifying--and ultimately "cleansing"--childhood memory. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Au Pair
After months of unemployment, young MBA Jenny Morgan (Heidi Noelle Lenhart) applies for what she thinks is an administrative position with the firm owned by handsome business executive Oliver Caldwell (Gregory Harrison). Unforutnately, someone's signals have gotten crossed, and Jenny finds she has been hired as nanny for the widowed Caldwell's spoiled-brat kids Kate (Katie Volding) and Alex (Jake Dinwiddie). Despite her daunting lack of experience as a surrogate mom, Jenny manages to bond with the kids, who behave badly mainly because their dad doesn't spend any time with them. During a trip abroad, Kate and Alex decide to play matchmaker for Oliver and Jenny, even though both adults already have fiancés. But taking into account that Kate's boyfriend Charlie (Michael Woolson) is an aimless dork and Oliver's intended Vivian (Jane Sibbert) is a bitch on wheels, it isn't hard to figure out how things will turn out. And if there are any doubts, just ask Caldwell's wry, all-knowing chauffeur Nigel Kent (John Rhys-Davies). Set in Paris (but actually filmed in Budapest!), the made-for-cable Au Pair originally aired August 22, 1999, on the Fox Family Channel; its open-ended finale enabled the producers to dash off a sequel, Au Pair II, in 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

First Daughter
A federal agent is demoted to a less challenging assignment, only to have it become the most dangerous mission of her life in this action-thriller. Alex McGregor (Mariel Hemingway) is a Secret Service agent who once guarded the President of the United States, Jonathan Hayes (Gregory Harrison). But after a series of misunderstandings following an attempt on the President's life, McGregor has been reassigned to oversee security for Hayes' teenaged daughter, Jess (Monica Keena). Jess has been chafing under the pressures of having a team of agents following her everywhere, so when she makes plans to go on a white-water rafting trip, the President requests a minimal compliment of Secret Service agents. This proves to be a mistake when Jess and her companions are kidnapped by a gang of right-wing terrorists. McGregor is forced to join forces with scruffy wilderness guide Grant Carlson (Doug Savant) in order to find Jess and return her to safety. Though set in the United States, First Daughter was shot in Australia, and had its premier on American television. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Feverishly, Richard rushes to finish several paintings in hopes of a huge commission--but money alone is not what his family really needs.

Haley Joel Osmont (Sixth Sense) appears as Richard's son John Henry, who at story's end brings new meaning to the old adage "Life Goes On." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this family canine comedy, a sequel to Air Bud (1997), Josh Framm (Kevin Zegers) finds it a problem when his widowed mother, Jackie (Cynthia Stevenson), starts seeing the community's new veterinarian, Patrick Sullivan (Gregory Harrison). Sullivan gives a football to Josh's golden retriever Buddy, and the athletic animal is soon girding for the gridiron. Coach Fanelli (Robert Costanzo) adds Josh as back-up quarterback to the jr. high team, and an accident takes Josh off the bench and onto the field. Meanwhile, two devious dognappers (Nora Dunn, Perry Anzilotti) see news footage of Buddy playing basketball and make plans to spirit him away to a Russian circus. Four dogs performed the tricks seen here. The character of Air Bud was created by Kevin DiCicco, but Buddy died not long after the first movie. The original basketball-shooting Buddy, a popular half-time attraction prior to the first film, achieved a lifetime total of some 22,000 baskets. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

When Secrets Kill
Lacey Chabert was still the darling of the television series Party of Five when she accepted the leading role in this suspenseful TV movie. When the biological mother of adoptee Jenny Newhall (Chabert) is murdered, Jenny's adoptive father Greg (Gregory Harrison) immediately falls under suspicion. This tragic set of events rocks the small, tranquil town in which the Newhalls live to its foundations, ultimately laying bare a number of unpleasant and long-hidden secrets. Making matters worse, Greg Newhall all but confirms his "guilt" when he escapes custody--but who is the actual culprit? (You'd be surprised--or at least, that's what the film producers hoped!) Based on a novel by Patricia McDonald, When Secrets Kill first aired over CBS on April 6, 1997. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this bittersweet comedy drama, a man nearing the end of his life seeks closure with his family and friends, and he confronts the issues of the right to die. Nick Stark (Eric Roberts) is a successful architect who is openly gay. He was involved in a committed relationship with Brandon Theis (Gregory Harrison), a television director, until Nick discovered that he's HIV-positive. Nick's first question to Brandon is "You won't leave me, will you? I don't want to die alone." Brandon, however, doesn't have the emotional strength to deal with Nick's condition and soon moves on. Several years later, even though Nick has been mindful of his health, he begins to display symptoms of full-blown AIDS, most notably the brain lesions that indicate Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, an AIDS-related illness that has already claimed several of his friends. Wanting to go out with his dignity intact, Nick decides to throw one last party, which will give him the opportunity to say goodbye to his friends and family while he's still lucid -- shortly after which he intends to take his own life with painkillers. Nick attempts to make peace with his mother and father (Lee Grant and George Segal), who had difficulty accepting their son's lifestyle, and he enjoys a last laugh with his close friends, until Brandon -- who is hardly welcomed by the group -- shows up. Appearing as Nick's friends and family are Margaret Cho, Bronson Pinchot, Bruce Davison, Sally Kellerman, Marlee Matlin, Roddy McDowall, and Dennis Christopher. Writer and director Randal Kleiser loosely based It's My Party on his own personal experiences when his longtime companion was diagnosed with AIDS and opted to take his own life before his symptoms became too severe. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Inevitably, the three mortals' lives are changed for the better, but not after a great deal of painful soul-searching for all concerned...especially Monica. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 1 vote Keldeo is actually available now for BW1 from a real-life event. But the general answer is that they slowly release event legendaries over the course of a generation. They had to put them in the Pokedex so that BW1 and BW2 were compatible and you could trade. But if they released all the event legendaries already they would have nothing for BW2 when it comes out. answered Sep 3, 2012 by Pokemaster Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes They may be available to B/W, we do not know yet.

I had a lump in my breast. A very painful lump.
For the month since I made the appointment, I have had a little knot of worry in the back of my mind. A little knot of worry that grew and grew and grew. Until last night I was kept awake by the anxiety. The what ifs.
Talking with friends, I know that I'm not alone in this anxiety. Even if I felt unnecessarily melodramatic, in the middle of last night.
It turns out that I have three cysts. Benign. Nothing to worry about. The pain should subside. Just "some mischief" that's occurred since I weaned Jamie from breastfeeding. And possibly due to some hormonal changes I'm experiencing at the moment.
And so I found myself exhaling, unaware even that I'd been holding my breath.
You see, what kept me awake last night was not the worry about myself. No. In some part the worry was about Jamie. About being around for him; with him. In a large part though, the worry was for something else entirely. For someone else entirely.
I shouldn't even be telling you this, strictly speaking. But in my relief that all is well, I am throwing caution to the wind...
We are absolutely over the moon.
And as for the last post... well it turns out that they have had staffing changes at the centre (why did no-one tell me?) and that's likely the reason for Jamie's anxiety. He took Teddy with him on Friday and they tell me he had a better day. He still clung to me like a limpet and howled pitifully when we peeled his fingers from my top. But apparently he recovered well.
Even this afternoon, as he drove off with Grandma and Grandad for the afternoon - a treat that does not usually equate with tears - he still howled to be leaving me. Albeit, he did make a good show of blowing kisses through the tears.
Ah, I love him dearly.

text: Home Culture Who Actually Celebrates Kwanzaa? The results of a reader poll suggest that the holiday may be past its prime. By: Joshua R. Weaver Posted: Dec. 16 2011 2:48 PM 0 Creatas A lone Christmas tree on a makeshift pedestal stands prominently in the center of Howard University's main quadrangle, which is uncharacteristically empty during the first week of December. Students rush by to make it to their exams on time, with the tree serving as a reminder of the holiday traditions that await them after their last final. But for one Howard student, this evergreen emblem doesn't represent the true essence of the holiday spirit. "My mother, she was very hard on trying to make us celebrate Kwanzaa. She felt that it was more important than Christmas," Howard student Jasper Henderson told The Root. "Kwanzaa has more definition of life -- Christmas is just presents." Not everyone feels the same as Henderson and his mom. According to an unscientific poll of 472 of The Root's readers, only 35 percent of respondents currently observe Kwanzaa, an African-American holiday based on seven principles that is celebrated over the last week of the year. Half of all respondents have participated in such celebrations at least once in their lives. Kwanzaa, a holiday created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, black nationalist and current chair of Africana studies at California State University, Long Beach, seems to resonate most with the baby boomer generation and may be past its prime. In fact, almost half -- 41 percent -- of all respondents born between 1946 and 1964 celebrate Kwanzaa, while those born in or before 1945 and in or after 1982 are least likely to celebrate the holiday. What's more, those born before 1945 are least likely to know someone who celebrates Kwanzaa, while those between the ages of 46 and 64 are most likely to know someone who celebrates the holiday. "Kwanzaa's different from any other holiday because you sit down and you discuss a lot of things that happened in the past in relation to your family history. You go back to the struggle that you've been through," baby boomer Joe Brooks told The Root when asked about why he observes the holiday. "You really have to take time out and stress to the young kids what's really going on, what it actually means. It's not just a holiday to celebrate. You celebrate, but you don't celebrate it with gifts; you celebrate it as a history thing to make you more aware." However, most respondents knew the story behind Kwanzaa. Overall, only about 4 percent of respondents did not know that Kwanzaa was created by an American in the '60s. Howard student Dominique Alexis said the classroom might be the best place to teach young people about the history and tenets of the holiday. "I think that [Kwanzaa] should definitely get more recognition," she said. "We did one day of Kwanzaa [in high school], where we would watch a movie. So I think if we started out early, [Kwanzaa] would become more prevalent." Age wasn't the only factor in the responses. A little more than 5 percent of respondents were white, and 16 percent of them indicated that they currently celebrate Kwanzaa. A third of white respondents have celebrated Kwanzaa in the past. Who Celebrates Kwanzaa? The Root's Man on the Street We talked to people in D.C. to get their take on the holiday that celebrates black heritage. LOADING GALLERY...

Open LettersOpen Letter to U.S. Secretary of State Colin L. PowellJuly 19, 2002The Honorable Colin L. Powell Dear Secretary Powell, On behalf of the international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), I am writing to express our deep concern for the future of approximately 180,000 Chechen civilians displaced by the ongoing war in Chechnya and living mostly in Ingushetia, but also in Dagestan and Georgia. MSF is disturbed by recent events that indicate an increase in a trend toward forced repatriation of displaced Chechens to their home areas inside Chechnya. We must reiterate that these civilians are being pressured to return by Russian and Chechen authorities to a territory still effectively in a state of civil war, widely characterized by the enforcement of arbitrary rules, the indiscriminate use of violence against civilians, and the perpetration of massive violations of human rights. In the past few weeks, MSF publicly condemned the Russian authorities for steps they have undertaken to step up forced repatriation of displaced Chechen civilians:
MSF fears that operations like the one we witnessed in Znamenskoye will be repeated in the coming weeks by Russian authorities in the north Caucasus. MSF wants to strongly reiterate that such operations are clear violations of international humanitarian law, which recognizes that war-affected people have the right to seek safe refuge, and that their return shall be done on a voluntary basis, in safety, and with dignity. A voluntary return also obliges the authorities maintain viable options for those choosing to remain in areas of refuge. Provisions of the May 29 agreement that are currently being enforced include the closing of all tent camps and the suspension of humanitarian aid in Ingushetia. MSF believes that there is a clear willingness from the authorities to leave no other option to the displaced Chechens than to go back to their war-torn home regions. In February 2002, MSF published a report that documented the deplorable living conditions of displaced Chechens in Ingushetia as a result of a deliberate policy of non-assistance adopted by Ingush and federal authorities. Testimonies collected from the displaced people identified that this policy has been implemented by the suspension of official registration of the newly arrived Chechen displaced persons, constant psychological pressure on the displaced to return home, and the cessation of critical humanitarian assistance programs by the authorities including food distribution, provision of water and gas to the tented camps, and rehabilitation/construction of shelters. MSF has been providing medical assistance to displaced Chechens in Ingushetia, Dagestan, and to a limited extent, in Chechnya proper, since the resumption of the war in 1999. Displaced Chechens continue to tell MSF humanitarian workers that they don't want to go back home at this time, given the great insecurity and the human rights violations committed on a daily basis by Russian troops. Mr. Secretary, a May 9, 2002 statement on the United States policy on Chechnya delivered by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Steven Pifer before the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe underlined that, "We have also stressed in our discussions with the Russian Government that the return of the displaced to Chechnya be voluntary," and that, "The danger to civilians in Chechnya remains our greatest concern. The human rights situation is poor, with a history of abuses by all sides and little or no accountability by either." Taking this statement into account, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) urges you to take the necessary means in your power to:
MSF urges you to give this matter your utmost attention. We would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. Yours sincerely, Nicolas de Torrente cc: Paula Dobriansky, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Tags: North Caucasus |

Brent Seavers has not received any gifts yet
Don't worry it gets better when you reach out more and find that a lot more people than you thought are out there being awesome and you can join in the fun now. It's weird to still have to be around or talk with mormons sometimes but I just laugh when they start to preach at me. I'm so happy that I don't have to ever sit through the 3 hour torture sessions on Sundays anymore. My brain is mending as time goes on and I'm becoming much happier now that I can just be myself and not a robot that just follows commands. hahaha Anyway, take care and I hope you are enjoying life as much as humanly possible. :)
Welcome, I hope you have a good time with everyone here.

Da Marcella
Online Reservations
Great prices for such a great quality...like I was in Italy in some cosey, little restaurant where Italian mamma is cooking homemade dishes! LOVE IT!
At home (switzerlnad) we can get a lot of good italian food. The place here in NY is very authentic, food and wine just great. The restaurant was introduced to me by a colleague during my last visit in NY and only 2 weeks later i went again with a friend as I liked it so much the first time. We had pulpo, 2 different special pastas and a salmon as a main dish. Wne was the rose - which we know from italy - and it tasted like the one we know. Portions are good, price as well. Definetly worth to visit. i will come back and recommend it to my friend.
The salmon tartare is a must; the pasta with crabmeat was also wonderful. All in all, a gem of a restaurant, serving unpretentiously excellent Italian food.
Small, noisy little place with great food, decent prices and good service. We definitely will go back to try other things on the menu. Our party of four had apps, salads, entrees and desserts. Everyone was pleased with their meals. The place is much smaller than I expected but we made a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived. I highly recommend and will be returning.
Four of us dined here recently and had a wonderful time. The antipasto and bruchetta were flavorful and 2 orders is sufficient for 4 people. The entrees were fabulous - grilled chicken on roasted veggies was so tasty; the Bronzino was tender and herb chicken excellent. Wine prices are quite fair and entrees reasonable. Nice desserts as well! Service is attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend it!
What a nice and friendly restaurant! They are beer and wine only so when we arrived early and wanted some alchohol they pointed us to a bar just down the street. When we asked the waitress for recommendations from the menu she didn't blink before telling s about her favorites. And we liked everything we tried-all 4 of us. The most memorable was the octopus salad. We would not hestitate to return if we needed a destination in this neighborhood again.
The restaurant is a perfect neighborhood place With really delicious Italian food the oven baked Fish was really good
Food and service were very good. The only problem was that when we arrived we were seated at one of the several tables with stool-high chairs. We had some elderly people in our party who needed regular chair height and when we asked the maitre D he looked at us like we should have known. It never said anywhere on their website that half their tables were high. Luckily some very nice patrons were willing to move so we could be seated at a regular table. That was my only criticism.
We accepted the offer to wait for a table in the cooler interior of the restaurant on this paricularly hot and humid NYC evening, and settled in at the bar and chilled down with some ice water and then a delightful Proseco. The Bolognese at De Marcello is to die for. My companion and I shared that pasta as a main and 4 appetizers so we had 5 small plates. The Octopus was fabulous, tender and flavorful. The frisee salad was delicious, the fennel adding an interesting counter to the creamy texture of the dressing, and the mussels were extraordinary. We wanted finish the broth with tablespoons but restrained ourselves and just had some additional bread delivered for dipping. I will definitely be back. Da Marcello is on our favorites list.
The food was outstanding and you can't beat the prices!
We've gotten used to dining at Da Marcella almost weekly and have never been disappointed. This time the Cornish Hen was the wonderful surprise - one of the specials we had yet to try - and the bruschetta is a must - $6 for two heaping portions of the most amazing tomatoes on crostini. Another imperative! I almost hesitate to rave so intensely, because it is terrific that it remains a hidden gem without the long lines that nearby places have attracted. But, oh well.
We booked Da Marcella last minute for an early Sunday supper. From the outside this place doesn't look like much but what comes out of the kitchen is a different story. The fried zucchini flowers were outstanding, as was the burratta with prosciutto. The tagliatelle with duck ragu special was delicious. And the braised short rib with polenta was off the charts. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food.
wonderful pastas especially; attentive staff; a great local find
Come here at least once a month. Always a great experience. thank you again for a delicious meal.
Local spot that you would probably walk past but if you are lucky enough to stop in you will find great Italian food
Excellent pasta and appealing but not hackneyed entree's Great service....and comfortable neighborhood feel
cute little place ... kinda reminds me of time i spent in italy .. great food .. very reasonable prices for a very classy place... nice area ... easy parking
I've eaten at Marcella's many times, and the food is always fresh, flavorful, and very reasonably priced. They have a diverse menu that's not just your standard Italian fare, and doesn't stay static. It's an informal restaurant that clearly serves the neighborhood - from dignified seniors to professionals, and well-behaved kids Service is attentive without being hovering. I almost hate to get the word out lest it spoil it for the regulars, but nonetheless, I've recommended it often, and people always call back to say how much they enjoyed it too..
Every once in awhile you come across a great restaurant that you can't wait to go back to. Well my 5th visit ther was just as good as the first one. I'm hungry just writing this. There pastas are cooked like you were in Florence, Italy, The staff is friendly and helpful.
After spending considerable time in Italy, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to find a restaurant calling itself Italian that really serves Italian food—fresh, uncomplicated—as its done in Italy. Reasonable prices, realistic servings, truly homemade gnocchi, and a ricotta cheesecake from heaven.
This relaxed neighborhood Italian restaurant has such wonderful food - you will not believe it!! The prices are great also. What a "find"!!!! You will be very happy if you eat there! Pleasant service also. Had the special "Wild Boar Ragu" last eve. Out of this world delicious. Nice, inexpensive wines also.
I generally have the salad with yellow and red beet carpaccio with feta and one of their $10 pasta dishes. I had the lasagna this last time. Along with a glass of nice red wine each, the two of us spent about $50 for a really lovely dinner out.
not a place for an enent dinner and one can eat better but only at twice the price.
Consistently good and prices are very reasonable. The staff is very friendly and efficient.
Excellent small intimate West Village restaurant. Definitely worth a repeat visit!!
As rents continue to skyrocket in this area, small cozy and reasonably priced restaurants have no choice but to close down and are becoming a rarety. We live close to Marcella's and have become regular customers since they opened a year ago. We have never been disappointed with the food, the menu is varied, the service friendly. On weekends the noise level rises, but that's a problem in many restaurants, particularly when the space is small. The partners all have many years of experience working in various italian restaurants and know what they're doing. The crowd is older and not "trendy" which suits us fine.
The food at Da Marcella ALWAYS satisfies. The zucchini flowers are excellent, as are salads and all pastas. The prices are unbeatable for the quality of the food. I always return to this neighborhood gem!
After stumbling onto this wonderful restaurant a couple of years ago, I have found myself returning many times with friends. The response is always the same. Great!
This restaurant was so popular, we couldn't even book our preferred time of 8pm, so we booked 9pm.... We arrived at 9 but weren't seated before probably at least 9:20. But we could use the time outside (luckily the weather was good, there would have been no room for us to wait inside) to decide what we wanted, so we ordered right away. The for also took so time getting there, but it was worth the wait! The food was very good. And also reasonably priced. 5 people, for food and wine and two desserts, it was about $132. It is a small restaurant, with some tables higher than others, there were, I think two maybe three two-person-tables outside, and when you sat there your head was at about the level of the sidewalk. There was a nice atmosphere.
Picked Da Marcella the other night based on others' reviews and they were spot on. Great food at a very reasonable price. Staff were attentive and seemed enthusiastic and genuinely happy to be there. Ambiance was cozy. Noise level was quiet early on but built to a pretty high level once the place was full. Our table was right up against the bar so that definitely contributed to the noise experience we had. I can definitely see going back.
Da Marcella is a very quaint restaurant. I felt like I was back in Italy. The service is excellent. The waitress explained the menu well and made delicious recommendations. We started out with a bottle of Brunello wine...excellent choice I must say! The grilled octopus was so tender that you could cut it with your fork. The beet salad with feta cheese was also delicious. The Bolognese was absolutely amazing! It was cooked for eight hours...I want the recipe. The grilled salmon was moist and flavorful. We ended our meal with the Tiramisu. A perfect ending to a perfect meal. What else can I say? You must try this treasure of a restaurant! Almost forgot ~ to make your evening even better their prices are very fair. I can't wait to go back!!
incrediblly delicious food and incredibly low prices.
We went on a Sunday night, so it wasn't completely crazy, but that being said, it was noisy (low ceilings) and some of the tables, like ours, are those high ones. It was pretty noisy and a little too warm in the dining room (but maybe that was just me!). Other than that, the meal was awesome! I had the tagliatelle with pink sauce (pancetta) and it was fabulous - the pasta was really fresh - the salad that I had was a little boring, but the other appetizers were great - the octopus, the eggplant, the arugula salad - exceptional. The cheesecake is to die for. The meal was inexpensive, even with a bottle of wine - I live close by and will absolutely be coming here again, and ordering delivery very soon -
I made a reservation, and then ran into crazy commuting troubles on the way from work. My friends showed up on time, but I was over an hour late. They were very understanding and gracious. They sat and served my friends even though I was not there, and then took my order from my friends when I was able to call them. My food arrived just after I did. The food was very good - although the portions were on the small side. I felt bad that I messed up the reservation, but they were extremely gracious and accommodating. I definitely want to go again when I'm not late and rushed, would love to experience it at the normal pace for a dinner!
Food is amazing. I went with 3 friends and we had 3 appertizers and 4 pasta dishes - all delicious. I don't think there is a bad choice on the menu! The restaurant is small so we all pretty packed in and noise level is a bit on the louder side. Won't recommend going there for dates but if you just want great Italian food with a chill atmophere Da Marcella won't disappoint.
The service was the great, very attentive and cheerful. The food was delicious. We had a really lovely dinner. I highly recommend Da Marcella.
Starters were great, and only had a primo plate, but the pasta was wonderful. Wine list was fine. Was able to talk just fine as the noise level was not bad on a Thursday early evening. Glad I was not seated on the higher tables/chairs. Wonderful evening.
Even before you walk into the restaurant, you can see it's all lit up. It's attracting to the eye! It's a small restaurant, which is nice when you don't want to be around too many people during your meal. With my boyfriend, we had the bruschetta (scrumptious!), calamari (very fresh), hot sausage pasta (a little too creamy, in my opinion--> my boyfriend enjoyed it) and gnocchi with shrimp (yum!). For dessert, we had the creme caramel and sorbet. All in all, a great experience!
Great food. Very reasonable prices. I had the sweet potato gnudi (like gnocchi, long pressed with ricotta). Awesome!
Wish we would of had more time to enjoy but had a event to be at. The food was so good. Service excellent. I will def go back. Thank you to open table its so easy to find a restaurant in the neighborhood you want to go it. Great find!
Very tasty and affordable food, in a romantic setting. Highly recommend!
Our family of 4 all had amazing meals, my Pumpkin and Spinach Gnudi was delicious especially. The staff were extremely friendly. Very good value for money. Small but good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend for friendly authentic affordable Italian food.
My landlord recommended this place when I moved to NY-- and it hasn't disappointed. Great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff... It's become our go-to-place.
This small neighborhood trattoria never fails to impress! The salads (try the multi-colored beet salad) and pastas are exceptionally delicious at amazing prices for Manhattan (try the tagliatelle bolognese special at only $10!). Nice wine list at very reasonable prices as well. Service is friendly and ideal level of attention (not over the top, but always there when needed). I've eaten here multiple times and each time the food is to perfection. The olive oil for bread dipping is a nice start, the flan is a great end. Take friends as a treat and you'll never break your wallet!
Ever since our beloved Rocco's closed, we have been searching for a cozy, delicious place with reasonable prices and a menu you never tire of. This is it,
Small, rustic space with a welcoming staff and short, focused list of familiar favorites and a few more interesting additions. Everything is prepared with care and flavors are more sophisticated and nuanced than you might expect at these moderate prices. Carpaccio of beets, zuppa da pesce, pasta, hanger steak, all the plates were licked clean by the meal's end.
We tried a little-neck clam appetizer (source is great), potato gnocchi with shrimp (again, tomato-based source is great), two different beef plates (peppered skirt steak is really peppery, which is good as I love spicy foods), cheese cake (very good) and cream caramel (unique taste… either almond or orange flovored?). Portions are relatively small, but good enough for Asians or women. Services are good, although they somehow tend to hurry to take away dishes (we wanted to enjoy our little-neck clam source a bit more…). Overall, it's a good deal place.
Though we live in Brooklyn Heights, we think of DaMarcella as our favorite neighborhood spot. It's cozy, romantic, the food and service are always stellar. The specials menu always offers something new and delicious; the regular menu is also full of selections that will wow anyone. The wine list is great, and we usually have the $24 bottle of Chianti. This is always good and keeps the bill down to a moderate amount. We also come here because of the service and the friendliness of everyone who works there. The man in charge is friendly, kind and checks always to see how things are. The servers are also friendly and helpful. We always have the best experiences and food and wine here. Make it your neighborhood place, no matter where you live!
Thanks to the reviews, we made reservations and were very happy we did! Prices so reasonable for the delicious food that was served. All with a happy smile from our waitress. Great cozy room!
have been here 3 times, with all of the experiences nothing short of fantastic. the food is made with care, the service is warm, and the prices can't be beat. highly recommended.
