How did she and Frank Sinatra wind up together?
That just seems so insanely against type for both of them.
Was it something that she just did to get her name out there and known and he did it to cover up some awful publicity in other relationships or what?

Hate to say it, but I agree with r13.
I read that she begged Allen to continue the relationship after finding out about Allen and the adopted daughter. So she was going to subject the child she would eventually claim was taken advantage of by Allen, to him, by continuing in a relationship with him if he had agreed to it. Once she realized he had no interest, that's when the claws came out and she went public with "he touched they other daughter too."

Mia's not nutty at all. She bore some children and adopted other children, and they all had to do chores around the house. Not only are chores necessary to keep a big family running smoothly, but it's good for children to contribute something to the household.
She and Sinatra loved each other and stayed friends to the end. He even offered to have Woody's legs broken for her.
If you look at Ronan, he appears to be an exact cross between Mia and a young Frank Sinatra. Woody never had another biological child. I don't believe Woody is Ronan's natural father, either. There's nothing of Woody in him.

I assume that really liked each other, and maybe mistook that for love. Or maybe they loved each other but just couldn't make a marriage work. He was a Sagittarius, she's an Aquarius; if you believe in astrology that's a very compatible combination (Woody Allen is also a Sagittarius). I heard that they divorced because Sinatra wanted Mis to be a stay at home wife and she wanted to continue her career. At any rate, they divorced, but remained friends ever after. In fact, after it came out that Woody Allen was fucking Soon-yi Sinatra supposedly offered to have his legs broken! I thought that was pretty cool.

That picture of him squeezing those two girls to him is very disturbing. The girls both look very uncomfortable. The Asian one is gamely making an effort and is able to give the photographer a little smile. The homely one looks mad enough to spit nails. Woody Allen looks like he's playing a part: "See? I'm a good father! I'm hugging my girls. That means I must love them very, very much." God, it all looks so FAKE. And Soon-Yi is supposed to be their MOTHER? Soon-Yi seems like a child herself. I guess the girls are tended to by assistants and are only trotted out in public for photo-ops.

I think Mia was hanging around the set of Sinatra's movie Von Ryan's Express, she may have been making a movie there at the time and they got together.

I don't think Mia looks anything like Paltrow, Mia had a really unique look (to me) and had great eyes and a mysterious quality. I follow her on Twitter and she's very politically aware and funny. Doesn't seem the least bit spaced-out or crazy.

[quote]Woody doesn't want to part with half of his money (not that he has much anyway
Woody is the only person making money on his films. He always gets a hefty writing/directing fee (in the millions). On the other hand, the crew and the cast get scale. I, honestly, cannot believe he's gotten away with it for so long. But actors want to work with him regardless of their salary...
If you want to learn a bit about Woody as a filmmaker read "When the shooting stops the cutting begins," where his long time editor Ralph Rosenblum describes the experience of editing Annie Hall (among other Allen films). That film was structured in the edit room (in the script, the story is told in linear fashion). Makes you wonder about some of these Oscar winning screenplays.

R54, the Soon-Yi/Woody thing wasn't about Mia, R54. It was about Woody having sex with an either underage or far too young family member (totally out of bounds for either a step-parent or long-term boy/girlfriend), and Soon-Yi's developmental disabilities that probably precluded her having the good sense to say no. If you're in a long-term relationship with someone, you don't fuck her children. Simple as that.
Ronan has been very clear that Woody was way out of line, and that he caused a family schism that will never heal. Farrow's family lost a daughter/sister.

So many people are so bamboozled by Woody Allen like my sister. She thought he was a genius, oh please! I have heard he and Mia are both nuts. BTW, Woody Allen instructed of Soon-Yi to pose in various sexual positions when she was just a young kid. If an average person did what he did, the guy would have been thrown in jail ,but because he is in the film industry and suppose to be a "MAJOR THINKER OF OUR TIME", major eye roll! he gets away with it. Also, the hypocrisy of Hollywood who get preachy about children being mistreated, abused, molested, etc. and after that scandal broke out, so many of these Hollywood bastards were still trying to get parts in Mr. Intellectual's films.
I remember when Susie Lee was on DL I asked her about Mia. She said she is completely nuts.
I read a bio on Mia and I forgot the name of the bio,but it was a good book. Also they did a film bio on Mia based on the same book and it was well done.Anyway, the author said when Mia was a little girl,her parents were throwing a party and her mother asked her to find her father. Mia spotted her father having sex with a starlet, and her father blew up at Mia and told her leave immediately! The author said it is ironic because Mia married a guy who cheated on her. Usually women marry their fathers.

Not sure about Previn, but Mia's other two major paramours, Frank Sinatra and Woody Allen, could be said to be extreme narcissists if not sociopaths. Sinatra divorced her because she refused to drop out of Rosemary's Baby to make The Detective, and he served her the divorce papers on set. If that's not sociopathic behavior, I don't know what is.

Link below to an overly sweet, yet interesting, Lifetime "Intimate Portrait" of Mia Farrow (1999). It features home movie clips and narration by goop's mom. There are interviews with Mia's other friends, including Nancy Sinatra, Andre Previn, Natasha Richardson, Carly Simon, Leonard Gershe, and others, plus a number of Mia's children.
To those who think there's little intelligence on Mia's side of the family, her oldesst brother finished high school at 15 and went on to Georgetown University at 16. Also, her father, John Farrow, was evidently a brilliant man.

I was thinking about Mia the other day, when I was remembering how boring the 1974 version of "The Great Gatsby" was. Not that it was all her fault. Redford was pretty dreadful, too. But she had absolutely no charisma in that movie. And then I compared it to "Rosemary's Baby," where she doesn't do much either except scream when necessary, and then "See No Evil," where she stumbles around as a blind woman in a big empty house and screams a lot. And it became pretty clear: She's really no actress, and the only reason she was ever employed was because of her mother.

"How did she and Frank Sinatra wind up together?
I'm surprised no one mentioned this, the rumor surrounding Mia and Sinatra's marriage, was that she was hard core heroin addict at the time.
Through his connection with the Mob, Sinatra had drug dealer connections, he could easily get pure heroin for his addicted wife and he was also able to keep her addiction from the press due to his Mob ties and other connections.
Considering the type of shapely and sexy women Sinatra was involved with, Ava Gardner was just one example, it seemed highly unlikely he'd find a boyish bag of bones like Mia Farrow a suitable mate. They were probably no more than friends. Sinatra was an enabler during her heroin years.

There are actresses and actors considered to be untalented or only popular for their looks or the timing of their careers.
I agree with r71 and others. Mia Farrow was as perfect in Rosemary's Baby as she could be. Maybe to some in the same way that Julie Andrews was in "The Sound of Music" or Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday"? It could have been a one-off, but it wasn't. She was perfectly cast and perfectly unique and very moving.
Woody Allen showed her to be immensely talented in "Broadway Danny Rose", "Hannah and her Sisters", "Crimes and Misdemeanors" and most beautifully in "The Purple Rose of Cairo".
That is a beautiful film, and as clear a valentine to her as the one she later returned.
I don't care about their personal lives. Mia Farrow and Audrey Hepburn both represented the last new idea of beauty. There has been no truthful one since. No ones life stands up to scrutiny. Mia was a dippy girl with Sinatra, but she grew up cultured and chose men for love and the adventure of that. She had pretty good taste, even in her mistakes. Her book is a bit of a delicate PC read, but I have a weak spot for the title. "What Falls Away", by Theodore Roethke tells me something about her simple and fine taste. Yeah, I like neutral colours.
Woody Allen must have something? The American Master's documentary was both revealing and withholding. His work with Diane Keaton, Mia Farrow, Scarlett Johansson, Dianne Wiest and Judy Davis must mean something. They are not all the same, and to call them neurotics is a disservice to very individual women who have succeeded in being versatile and living their far from prescribed lives on their terms. He has good taste too.
I think that Allen respects and fears women a great deal. His middle aged choice of partner was bizarre and unexpected, but so in a way were the ones before. There would seem to be a lack of passion with all these women, but how do we know?
Farrow was with Sinatra and Previn and that is passion. Keaton was with Pacino and Beatty, where there was most likely some fire.
Anyway, "The Purple Rose of Cairo" is one of my favorite films, and I think there is more than artsy clever reverence or bathos in it. It is a passionate movie. Mia Farrow is heartbreaking and sad, but a winner of sorts in the lexicon of Woody Allen. A lot of people don't get when he is paying a true compliment. It was to Mia.
She ethereal and a bit wispy, but not a one-off, or a haircut.

Mia Farrow is not particularly interesting. She was made more interesting by her relationships with men. Supposedly her father was a tyrannical bastard and she sought out relationships with tyrannical men all of her life, along with being somewhat tyrannical herself.
Woody Allen is a genius and has clearly passed that on to his son. Sadly, he's also a man of breathtaking selfishness, unsound ethics and unforgivable arrogance.
Under no theory of ethical behavior is it okay to fuck the girl who has been your step-daughter since she was ten. Even if he didn't consider her his step-daughter, under no theory of ethical behavior is it okay to fuck your girlfriend's daughter whom you have known since she was ten.
Even if you magically remove Mia Farrow from the picture, under no theory of ethical behavior is it okay to fuck your son's half-sister/adopted sister/whatever sister.
"What the heart wants" does not absolve anyone of their obligation to be a decent human being. Woody Allen failed at that so spectacularly and so publicly that his reputation has never recovered, nor will it, nor should it.
When he dies, there is not a single obituary that will fail to mention what he did.

OK r86.
I want to address you, but it is a kind of pointless discussion. Are you the SWF chick?
Who else looked like Bo Derek? - well Linda Evans for one and many others. That nose job was unfortunately very popular and a prerequisite for a John Derek wife or a late seventies model.
I love Michelle Pfeiffer in every way for her talent and her beauty. I don't think that she was a new idea of beauty however. She was a knockout. I am polish and Italian, so thick luscious lips are not new....think Bardot or Loren. Pfeiffer also has "that" nose job and is one of the few people that gets away with it not ruining her looks.
When I said that Audrey Hepburn and Mia Farrow presented the last new idea of screen beauty, I was using some hyberbole, but I am given to grand and truthful statements. Audrey Hepburn was tall, skinny, flat chested with wide hips and big feet, a strong jaw and a nose lip ratio that could compare her to a duck. Yet she was lovely. Not just once or from a special angle. She was a new way to see beauty on film and in any light.
Farrow, with her square jaw, hollow cheeks, pale and unadorned complexion, but with beautiful symmetrical features and a boyish body was also new and beautiful - not sexy, not exotic, just a natural translucent, close to perfect delicate face.
Angelina Jolie is sexy and sometimes gorgeous, but I don't see how she is new, except once again for natural full lips and a homely nose. Yes this is may be newly desirable. As a guy with full shapely lips I can tell you that it is always appreciated.
You may be thinking more of modelling or something R86 ? Something tells me you are.
We are always being told that Gwyneth or Jennifer Lawrence or Anne Hathaway are beautiful, when of course they are not, classically or in a way that changes peoples minds about beauty. Julie Christie was once considered a new sort of beauty,and that I kind of get, but by whose standard has that woman not always been gorgeous? Subjectives.
Audrey Hepburn and Mia Farrow opened peoples' minds to a new idea of beauty because somehow they just did. They were the last to achieve that impact and seismic shift in people's minds, not hype. That is my declaration. I stick with it. Besides I stated many more provocative things in my post.
You must be that SWF chick. She was always picking on my posts. But even she would not bring up Bo Derek?

"Senior year in High School," she said. Unbearable details emerged. I POUNCED ON HER. I HIT HER ON THE SIDE OF HER FACE AND SHOULDERS. I went into the kitchen, crying. In her room I heard Soon-Yi sobbing, "I'm a bad girl. I'm a bad girl."
What Mia doesn't mention, was that she used the phone Soon-Yi was holding to beat her on the side of her face. That was confirmed by the Nanny in her tell-all book about Mia.

Daughter Soon-yi Says That Farrow Beat Her
Mia Farrow is alleged to have beaten her daughter Soon-Yi Previn after she found out in January that Previn and Farrow's boyfriend, Woody Allen, had been seeing each other. Both Previn, speaking through friends, and a friend of Allen's say that when Farrow found nude pictures of Previn in Allen's apartment she beat Previn with a chair, ripped up her clothes and ordered her out of her house. Previn reportedly left Farrow's apartment a few days afterward.

Oh for pete's sake, half of you were rooting for Kate Winslet's Mildred Pierce to kick the crap out of Veda at the end of the miniseries.
Look, obviously any kind of battery is very wrong, but the woman just found out her daughter was sleeping with the man who not only was her lover and coparent of a decade, but also held her entire acting career in his hands. According to the Nanny's book, Woody wouldn't let Mia do anybody else's films while he was with her. Between a Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy and Husbands and Wives, every movie she did was for Woody Allen (13 movies!) with the exception of Supergirl. So to see that slip away in such a terrible fashion would trigger a psychotic episode in a lot of people.

I thought Mia, Woody and Soon-who all made up after one of the other adopted kids passed away. Read somewhere that Mia made the first move and gave one of those 'life's too short' speeches.
Favorite Mia movie moment: seeing Broadway Danny Rose in a crowded movie theatre and hearing two patrons say, on the way out, 'I thought Mia Farrow was in this.'
She was fucking unrecognizably brilliant. Have been a fan since Rosemary's Baby but Danny Rose was, I think, her best work by far.

Thanks for the citation, R95 / R96. I think less of Mia now. However, to be fair, I recognize that we all have our breaking point. I also wouldn't put it past Soon Yi to have done some taunting and crowing to Mia over what (to her mind) was the coup of stealing her mother's boyfriend.
At least Mia was honest enough to admit what she did in "What Falls Away."
Mia also would have known that her children's family life would be fractured forever because of Woody's seduction and alienation of their sister, Soon Yi.

She is a terrible, stilted actress who gives the same performance all the time. But it doesn't matter. She is enormously successful because of the life she has led. A teen tv star, married Sinatra,, made Rosemary's Baby, a film that was the "It" film of its time; appeared on the cover of virtuallly every magazine of the 1960s. She headed off to India and hung out with the Beatles. She wrecked Andre Previn's marriage, adopted a squad of oddball children, became the muse of NYC's official film director, was involved in a creepy legal battle having to do with her former lover and her children, became a chronic do-gooder for the world's downtrodden.
Now THAT'S a life!

Mia was angelic and beautiful as the star of Peyton Place in 1964. You could not take your eyes off of her. She was the breakout star and then when walking to the 20th Century Fox commisary with co-star Ryan O'Neal, she spotted Sinatra making Von Ryan's Express. She plotted for a meeting and hooked him. She became problematic on PP when she wanted time off to be with Frank, shooting schedule be damned. The show wrote her off and put her in a coma. Her character Allison, then had a nervous breakdown and she famously cut her trademark blonde hair to an inch. Only 21 this girl knew how to get publicity in a way that Madonna would envy. She really was just a 60's creation. Anything she did professionally after, was never that succesful . Buy the Peyton Place dvd of the first season and your appreciation of her acting will be off the charts.

The Woody Allen documentary was like an infomercial. He seems to have some anti-social tendencies as evident when he can't see what the "big deal" about the scandal was. He also sued his former (producing?) partners and thought while the lawsuit was happening, he could have dinner with them since business is business and had nothing to do with their "friendship". I think he sued them for financial fraud or something like that and his long-time friends/partners were appalled by both the law suit and his attitude.

Woody Allen appears to have some bizarre amalgam of Asperger's and sociopathy.
I would like to coin the term, "Aspiepath."
BTW R103 After everything that happened, EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN MIA AND HIM, he still wanted Mia to play his wife in "Mighty Aphrodite." IIRC correctly, he told his flabbergasted casting director Juliet Taylor, "Mia could do this. She's a pro."

Some of you are just damaged goods. Mia did not adopt slaves, she adopted many handicapped kids and saved their lives, raising them herself. Woody had very little interaction with the kids, with the exception of the one he was fucking. And Mia didn't want to continue the relationship. She wanted to work, "Manhattan Murder Mystery" was in pre production and after she found out she still attended her scheduled costume fitting, and was fired. She is a professional who would have honored her contract, just like when Sinatra ordered her to quit "Rosemary's Baby" mid production so she could be in his "The Dectective". She refused and he served her divorce papers on Rosemary's set.

I remember when Oprah interviewed Mia about her book,and you could tell Oprah did not like her. Oprah was grilling Mia why did she go back to Woody after finding out that he was molesting her children? Mia was stumbling over her words and she was caught off guard and she said well? uh? I was still in love with him, uh? and Oprah said, but he was molesting your children right?!!

Wait a minute. Some poster said Mia was served divorce papers by Frank when she was on the set of Rosemary's Baby and another poster said she having a thing with Roman while making that film? Put the puzzle pieces together people. Probably Frank found out about the affair and that is probably why he decided to divorce her. Frank didn't like his wives to have affairs,but he was one of those jerks who felt it was acceptable for him to have affairs.
BTW, I once watched a documentary about the life of Sharon Tate and they interviewed Mia about Sharon.Mia smiled and commented how adorable Sharon was trying to please Roman, and now I find out on this thread Mia was screwing her friend's husband?

That is a very good point R136. I forgot about Mia's brother. Maybe he tried to molest Mia's children as well? Usually molesters have more than one victim ,and if they can get easy access to children, they use the opportunity. I hope he didn't do anything to Mia's children. Gosh, this lady had to deal with a freak pervert ex husband, and on top of that a brother who is a molester.I read in Mia's biography when her father died her mother told her, now you have to help me with the famliy. After that Mia was so serious ,and friends of Mia's mother told her Mia is too serious for a little kid.
BTW, I read in Mia's Biography apparently Mia adored Ava Gardner when she was a child because she talked to Mia like an adult ,and not the usual a bit condescending way adults talk to kids automatically thinking they are naive kind of way. The author said it is ironic that Mia years later would marry the love of Ava's life.

I'm confused about the timeline on Farrow/Sinatra mariage.
In the What's My Line? clip, her hair is obviously very short and they must have just gotten married. But she says nothing about the prospect of making Rosemary's Baby, only Peter Pan.
How long did the marriage last? Did she shoot Peter Pan before Rosemary's Baby? I'm guessing she was only a week or so into production of Rosemary's Baby when the divorce papers were served?
Do you all realize how rare it was then (and now!) for a TV actress to quickly make the transition into an A-list movie star? Obviously, the marriage and attendant publicity really helped her there.

Gay Talese did a famous article for Esquire, I believe it was, called "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold." It was written in the late '60s, I believe. He described the people around Sinatra, the entourage and hangers on. Part of the entourage was a little old lady whose job it was to tend to Sinatra's many toupees. She was always on-call and hanging around with them carrying a bag containing an emergency toupee should he need it.

I recently worked on a project that required researching photos of Frank Sinatra in the 1960s and it was hard to find many posed color shots of him not wearing a fedora. Usually a straw fedora.
Of course, he was often seen without hats in film roles and night club stages, but for record album covers and head shots, he was usually hatted.
I don't think he pretended he was fooling anyone with his toupees.

LARGO — Pinned on his own 5-yard line and trailing by five early in the fourth quarter Friday night, Jefferson quarterback Deiondre Porter told his team it was time to get going.
The Dragons sputtered through most of the first three quarters in their Class 6A region quarterfinal against Largo, and Porter had had enough.
He ripped off runs of 10, 28 and 25 yards, threw a 14-yard pass and ended the eight-play, 95-yard drive with a 5-yard touchdown run. It gave Jefferson its first lead of the game, and the Dragons never looked back in a 25-17 win over the Packers.
"I just kept saying that we've got to get something," said Porter, who finished with 203 rushing yards. "It just takes that one play to turn the momentum in a game."
Jefferson (10-1) will play a region semifinal at Armwood. Armwood is the only team to beat the Dragons this season. Largo ends its season 8-3.
For most of the night, Largo's defense was containing Porter and stopping the passing game. Meanwhile, Largo was doing just enough offensively.
On Largo's first drive, John Clark ripped off big runs and the eight-play march ended with a 39-yard field goal by Ben Hammelmann. Largo made it 10-0 in the second when Donavan Hale ran in from 12 yards to cap a nine-play drive.
Jefferson avoided the first half shutout with a late score in the second when Porter ran in from 9 yards. The extra point was blocked.
"We were so close in the first half and I kind of blame myself because we were so hesitant," Dragons coach Jeremy Earle said. "I was kind of playing not to make mistakes. Finally we let it fly and started making some plays."
Actually, Largo grabbed the momentum to start the second half. The Packers got an onside kick and turned that into a touchdown two plays later when Hale hit Raheem Harvey on a 62-yard pass that made it 17-6.
From there, it was all Jefferson.
Largo punted five straight times after the touchdown pass. Porter, who scored all four of Jefferson's touchdowns, had a 1-yard run late in the third to make it 17-12.
Then he took over in the fourth. After the 95-yard drive for the go-ahead touchdown, he scored again, this time a 25-yard touchdown run. Porter ended the night with 32 carries for 203 yards rushing. He also threw for 128 yards.
"He took over the game," Largo coach Rick Rodriguez said of Porter. "We missed a lot of tackles near the end. I think the biggest thing about the second half, we didn't get any first downs."
Largo had one last-ditch effort, but it ended when Hale's fourth down pass to Jonathan Crawford was dropped with 26 seconds to play. This is the fourth time Largo has lost in the first round of the playoffs.

The Boston Celtics began this week at a disappointing record of 23-47 and were looking for confidence-boosting wins against some playoff teams. Let's take an in-depth look at their 3 games this week.
On Wednesday, March 26th, the Celtics hosted the third-seeded Toronto Raptors. The Raptors are a young and talented team. They possess one of the more underrated backcourts in the game with breakout star Kyle Lowry at point guard and shooting guard DeMar DeRozan who is also having a fantastic season. The Raptors finished the 1st quarter with a 9-point lead and that is about where the margin would stay for the entire game. Boston was never really quite able to cut it. Toronto would win this game 99-90. All 5 Raptor starters would score in the double-digits with Terence Ross, Lowry, and DeRozan all scoring above 20. Jared Sullinger would score a game-high 26 points for Boston to go along with 8 boards. Rajon Rondo would tally 9 points and 15 assists in the loss.
On Friday, March 28th, the Celtics would play the Raptors yet again, but this time north of the border at Air Canada Centre. This game would go back and forth for the entirety. This nailbiter was fittingly decided in the closing seconds as Kyle Lowry drove to the basket with less than 10 seconds left with the game tied at 103. Lowry would miss the layup, but forward Amir Johnson would get the offensive rebound to lay it in and give the Raptors a 2-point lead with 7 seconds left. Boston would miss the following shot and the Toronto Raptors would beat the Celtics again. DeMar DeRozan led the way for the Raptors with 30 points. Jerryd Bayless led the Celtics in scoring with 20 off the bench.
On Sunday, March 30th, the Chicago Bulls would travel to TD Garden to take on the Celtics. This game went possession by possession for all 4 quarters. Chicago, however, would prevail with a 107-102 win on the road. Bulls superstar Joakim Noah would fill up the stat sheet with a 13-point, 13-assist, and 8-rebound line. All Bulls starters would score in double-digits. The real storyline for Chicago in this one was shooting guard D.J. Augustin would score a career-high 33 points off the bench, going 10-14 from the field. Rajon Rondo contributed 17 points and 11 assists for Boston and Jared Sullinger would add 16 points and 10 rebounds in the loss.
With their loss to the Bulls on Sunday, the Celtics reached 50 losses for the first time since the 2006-2007 season and now sit at 23-50. Boston is currently the 5th worst team in the NBA. The Celtics will travel to Chicago on Monday with now less than 10 games to play.

When Floyd Skloot, novelist, poet, and three-time Pushcart Prize winner, was struck by a crippling virus more than 20 years ago, he was all but silenced by neurological deficits. And then he found he could write memoir.
The Wink of the Zenith: The Shaping of a Writer's Life is Skloot's fourth memoir. When he realized it was impossible for him to write fiction anymore, impossible to plan out a cohesive narrative, he found he was able to write out bits and pieces of memory and see where they led him, what kind of puzzle he could put together. Thus, he explains, he shaped his post-attack essays and books the way he was reshaping his writing life. He writes:
When I first began to write again, the words, images, lines, and disconnected notes that emerged were filed in various folders: Brooklyn, Long Beach, Baseball, Summer Camps, Mother, Father...It was as though, from the very start, I was organizing the fragments of memory into a shape that would eventually become this book, finished twenty years later.
Those shards coalesced into moving essays, many of which have been published in literary journals. Skloot writes with understated emotion about how he managed to survive his cold and conflict-filled family of origin, as well as about the inception and giving up of various of his youthful dreams, such as to play professional baseball.
He describes several visits to his aged mother in a Memory Impairment Unit, where she doesn't recognize him and communicates by singing snatches of songs from 1931. There is black humor in the nonsense conversations he and his wife try to have with the old woman.
I often find references to "time" when I read writers' accounts of their creative process. In one of his essays, Skloot notes that
at peak moments, I was in the place Jason Compson described to Quentin in The Sound and the Fury: He said time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life. Great writing, I saw, could do this. It could stop time and thereby make time come to life, transporting the reader, as it must have transported the writer, into another dimension. It could break down the barriers between the writer, the reader, and the characters, as Faulkner's had done.
In another essay, Skloot offers an epiphany:
I had to learn that Time was not Money. That my greatest weakness as a writer was the rush to completion. I had to learn to love doing the work, not finishing the work.

NYC England 1-1 NYC Poland (6-7 pens)
NYC Senegal 4-2 NYC Mexico
NYC Senegal 1-3 NYC Poland
Semifinal 1: NYC England 1-1 NYC Poland (NYC Poland wins 6-7 on penalties)
The semifinal on field 8 pitted NYC England vs. defending Cosmos Copa champions NYC Poland. The game was technical, however the story of the match was written on the penalty spot, with the referee awarding three penalties during regular time and extra penalty kicks needed to decide the result.
NYC Poland was missing star midfielder Teddy Niziolek for this semifinal clash, and in the early going Poland's ball control suffered greatly in his absence. England looked up for the challenge of facing the defending champs as they retained the ball and looked to push forward early and often. The first real chance of the match came for NYC Poland against the run of play when the referee awarded a penalty for a fairly weak challenge on the edge of the box at the 15 minute mark. The resulting spot kick was blown over the top of the frame by Lukasz Hausner, proving the old adage "the ball never lies" to be quite true in this case. Poland was awarded their second trip to the spot shortly thereafter, this time for a handball in the box after a failed clearance off a corner kick. This time Zbignien Puzio stepped to the spot and confidently finished in the top left corner to give Poland the 1-0 lead. Moments later, NYC England was awarded a penalty of their own after star striker George Fenwick went down under an aerial challenge in the box. Fenwick took the spot kick himself and opted for placement over power with and was denied by a beautiful diving low post save by goalkeeper Marcin Czwerinski to preserve NYC Poland's one goal lead.
NYC England continued to have the lion's share of possession in the early stages of the second half however Czwerinski made a number of key saves to keep his side on top. As the match continued on an English breakthrough seemed inevitable. It finally came in the 70th minute. A great piece of wing play resulted in a tight angle strike on net that was impressively saved by Czwerinski, but the rebound fell to NYC England's Thomas Smith who finished from close range to level the match. The final twenty minutes were rough on both sides as the heat began to wear on the players. Penalties would be needed to decide who was moving on to the final.
NYC England looked likely to break their home nation's penalty hex as the fifth taker Kyle Harman-Turner stepped to the spot with a place in the final at his feet, however his kick was brilliantly saved and the shootout continued on. In the eighth round of the shootout NYC England's Thomas Wharf skied his kick over the goal, giving the Polish one shot to win the match. NYC Poland's Damian Serafin calmly buried his kick, sending his team to their second straight Cosmos Copa final.
Semifinal 2: NYC Senegal 3-1 NYC Mexico
No one expected NYC Senegal and NYC Mexico to make it to the Cosmos Copa Semifinals before the tournament kicked off, but these two teams proved everyone wrong by playing some of the most skillful soccer in the entire tournament. The match was highly anticipated as the physical, tireless, technical Senegal hoped to ease past Mexico's intelligent, flowing passing.
The game started out just as expected and the first ten minutes were back and forth, producing an absolutely riveting precedent for the remaining eighty minutes. In the 15th minute Senegal took the lead with a cool first time strike from Stephane Diop after Mamadou Doudou Diouf swung the ball across goal. Unfortunately, weather had its way in changing the course of the game as the heat index in the afternoon rose well above 100 degrees. The beautiful soccer started to turn scrappy and late tackles were flying in from all angles. Senegal's Djiby Gning was a victim of this as he was sent off in the 30th minute for getting two yellow cards in a span of ten minutes.
Despite Mexico's advantage, Senegal carried on and in the 40th minute Diouf and Diop combined again for a second goal, this time Diouf being the goal scorer. Senegal sat back and defended an onslaught of attacks from Mexico, and was able to go into halftime with a 2-0 lead.
Mexico were a rejuvenated team when the second half kicked off as Usiel Vasquez scored in the 47th minute after Raul Salazar put a cross directly on his head. The score became 2-1 and suddenly Mexico looked ready to grab an equalizer, however, Senegal had other plans and put away their third of the afternoon with a great run down the flank from Diouf who set up an easy tap in for Pape Modou Thioune to make the score 3-1.
As time passed in the second half, patience from the players evaporated and the referee unfortunately became a key figure. Mexico's Vasquez showed his class once again in the 65th minute, finishing off an amazing pass Miguel Martinez to give Mexico yet another lifeline.
In the end though, Senegal's attack was too menacing and they created a fantastic chance in the 75th minute on a breakaway that Ousmane Sall slotted into the far post to make the final score 4-2. Mexico's disappointment to not to be going to the Championship match showed, but losing to this Senegal side is far from anything to be ashamed of.
Final: NYC Poland 3-1 NYC Senegal
NYC Poland went into the final on the slimmest of margins by defeating NYC England in the semifinal round on penalties, while NYC Senegal glided past NYC Mexico and showed no apparent signs of slowing down. Poland did not play their best match the day before the final, but from the first minute it was clear this team was ready to rise to the occasion. Senegal played without their influential midfielder Djiby Gning because of his red card in the semifinal. Senegal would stick to their gameplan of using their athleticism, individual skill, and physicality to their advantage. Poland would continue to attack with smart passing and a good use of width to stretch Senegal's defense.
Poland found themselves behind right after the game started as Oumar Niang swung in a perfect cross for Stephane Diop, who placed his header to the far post brilliantly to make it 1-0 Senegal in the 5th minute. The Senegal fans erupted with joy and it seemed that Senegal were going to breeze past yet another quality opponent. However, Poland kept their composure and had the majority of possession for the next 30 minutes.
Then, out of nothing, Teddy Niziolek scored arguably the greatest goal in the history of the tournament. Niziolek collected the ball in midfield, took a touch, then smacked a 45 yard shot straight into the top right corner of the net, leaving Senegal goalkeeper Malick Faye with his hands up in disbelief. The energy this goal gave Poland was equal to the amount of energy it took away from Senegal, who looked absolutely demoralized going into the break.
Smiles filled the Poland team during halftime, and their positive play in the beginning of the second half began to wear Senegal down. Senegal's trio of Pape Modou Thioune, Mamadou Doudou Diouf, and Stephane Diop continued to be dangerous on the counterattack, but Poland created more chances. Then Poland capitalized on a set piece opportunity, as Teddy Niziolek scored his second of the match with an aggressive header from 4 yards out in the 55th minute.
For the rest of the half, Poland continued to improve on the pitch while Senegal began making more and more thoughtless decisions, including a series of poor fouls. Frustration got to Senegal and in the 81st minute Souleymane Kone was shown a red card for a mixture of a bad tackle and dissent. Poland capitalized in the 86th on their man advantage as Damian Serafin coolly snatched home a winner. "Polska" chants filled the stands and it was clear that Poland would become back-to-back Cosmos Copa Champions.
Poland saw the game out and when the referee blew his final whistle the Poland substitutes splashed coach Mark Kasprowicz with a massive cooler of water. The celebrations began, as did the songs of Polish pride. Poland somehow found a way to defeat an amazing Senegal side that will surely come back next year stronger than ever. Congratulations to NYC Poland!

My son has had thrush pretty much since birth but I didn't figure that out until he was almost 2 months old. I had been on antibiotics before he was born, had a c-section, got a bladder infection and had to take more antibiotics. Nursing him started to hurt almost right away and it got so bad I was crying every time I had to nurse him (similar thing happened with my firstborn). Had red, cracked nipples and all that. So, thanks to a friend, we figured out it was thrush. We did the Nystatin and that didn't seem to help at all. I was pumping because my doctor told me that I shouldn't nurse (which, with a 4 yr old and 2 1/2 yr old going through the stomach flu it was a pain in the arse doing all of that, pumping and feeding with a bottle). Anyway. I found out about using coconut oil to treat yeast infections. It seems to be helping a lot. I use organic extra virgin coconut oil. I feed it to the baby, wash my nipples with neem oil soap after nursing, air dry, and then put coconut oil on them, AND I've been using it to treat his diaper rash. The rash is all but gone and the white spots in his mouth are not nearly as bad. It didn't work over night, but I'm seeing (and feeling) a difference (and I went back to nursing btw). Just thought I'd throw it out there for anyone who wants to try it. I'm also taking a probiotic, took some colloidal silver and garlic in addition to my usual supplements. I don't know if that helped or not. I drink kefir and eat lots of yogurt, avoid sugar as much as possible. It does seem like the coconut oil made a huge difference, though.

Hazardous waste management law and rules: Missouri Hazardous Waste Management Law, Missouri Revised Statutes 260.350 to 260.430 and 10 Missouri Code of State Regulations (CSR) 25-1.010 to 25-19.010
Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Environmental Quality Hazardous Waste Program

Sheridan Australia has impact on U.S.
March 13, 2001,
NEW YORK — Five months after its management buyout from C. S. Brooks, Sheridan Australia is bringing new looks to its signature design statements to enhance its position in the American market.
The company which has been noted for its printed cotton bed ensembles with bright colors and high impact designs "will not try to be like everyone else but we will continue our signature looks with higher value added in printing and constructions," said Myron Mann, chief executive officer of the Australian parent of Sheridan here.
One of Sheridan's advantages over many other companies, Mann explained "is that we took a lot of the pain of global sourcing early. Six or seven years ago we started outsourcing and now about 40 percent of our product is outsourced. We're now down from five factories in Australia to one."
Mann continued "we learned to operate in a free trade environment. It takes a different skill base to maintain quality and service with a lower price base."
What this means for Sheridan, Mann added "is that our off all of the changes happening here, the American market is going to look quite different in the next year, and our of this will be opportunities for us for sure."
The company also "is prepared to make acquisitions where they fit," he emphasized.
For Sheridan in the United States, the challenges are different from other countries, Mann explained. "Our challenge is to leverage and grow on our niche — which is department stores — and push the boundaries a bit in both color and design."
But Soldati noted, the difference between the American market and the rest of the world where Sheridan sells "is that we're safer here. It takes a while for American home trends to adapt to European apparel fashion."
To accelerate its appeal to American consumers, Soldati said "we're going to bring the brand to consumers in very concentrated areas. We're going to go out strong. We need to teach consumers that there's those very neat products out there."
Part of the challenge is that in this country, Mann observed "I see an extreme divergence — designers and bed in a bag." America, he noted, "always has been a tough market for Sheridan, even though it provides 12 percent of the company's total revenues. It's very regional about people knowing us and our distribution is limited to department stores. We have very limited distribution in specialty stores. It probably comes back to color and design that is not safe enough for the specialty stores."
Another challenge, said Soldati "is that our designs don't have 'pack appeal', they need to be displayed."
Another difference in the global distribution of Sheridan product is that outside this country "the rest of the world's distribution is via concessions. Here we have to be in front of retailers constantly."
Sheridan, Mann explained, considers itself one of the three global brands including Yves Delorme and Ralph Lauren. "We bought the company to expand our global presence."

Newly-elected Ted Yoho no fan of John Boehner
Rep. John Boehner of Ohio was just re-elected speaker, but a handful of fellow Republicans voiced a different preference. Among them, newly-elected Florida Republican Ted Yoho, who went for Eric Cantor.
Yoho, of Gainesville, is aligned with the tea party, a base that has not been pleased with Boehner. Yoho has gotten some attention around the Capitol because he took out longtime Rep. Cliff Stearns in the GOP primary. He also made news by refusing to sign Grover Norquist's no tax pledge.
Allen West is leaving Washington with a bit of a smile: He got two votes for speaker.

Every four years we have a presidential election in the United States and every four years, it is stated that this is the most important election we have ever faced.
Once again as we near the Nov. 6, 2012 general election date, we are hearing the same refrain.
The Republican and Democratic conventions are now history and the campaigns pick speed with debates scheduled for Oct. 4, 16 and 22. A vice presidential debate is planned for Oct. 11.
I well remember the first televised presidential debates which featured combatants John F. Kennedy on the Democratic side and Richard M. Nixon on the Republican side.
The two candidates participated in three debates and many say these debates catapulted Kennedy to the White House. Find video and photo galleries on these debates on the Internet.
Check out Kennedy and Nixon at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1960
See more on the upcoming debates by going to 2012 Election Central at http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012-debate-schedule/2012-presidential-debate-schedule/
• Oct. 3: Obama/Romney Topic: domestic policy; air Time: 9 to 10:30 p.m. Eastern time at University of Denver in Denver, Colo. Sponsor: Commission on Presidential Debates. Participants: President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Moderator: Jim Lehrer (host of "NewsHour" on PBS)
The debate will focus on domestic policy and be divided into six time segments of approximately 15 minutes each on topics to be selected by the moderator and announced several weeks before the debate.
The moderator will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a discussion of the topic.
• Oct. 11: Vice Presidential debate, topic, foreign and domestic policy, air time: 9 to 10:30 p.m. Eastern time, at Centre College, Danville, Ky. Sponsor: Commission on Presidential Debates. Participants: Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan. Moderator: Martha Raddatz (ABC News Chief Foreign Correspondent)
The debate will cover both foreign and domestic topics and be divided into nine time segments of approximately 10 minutes each.
The moderator will ask an opening question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a discussion of the question.
• Oct. 16: Obama/Romney, topic: town meeting format including foreign and domestic policy, air time, 9 to 10:30 p.m. Eastern time, at Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y. Sponsor: Commission on Presidential Debates. Participants: President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Moderator: Candy Crowley (CNN Chief Political Correspondent)
The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which citizens will ask questions of the candidates on foreign and domestic issues.
Candidates each will have two minutes to respond, and an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate a discussion. The town meeting participants will be undecided voters selected by the Gallup Organization.
• Oct. 22: Obama/Romney, foreign policy, 9 to 10:30 p.m. Eastern time, at Lynn University, Boca Raton, Fla. Sponsor: Commission on Presidential Debates. Participants: President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Moderator: Bob Schieffer (host of "Face the Nation" on CBS).
The format for the debate will be identical to the first presidential debate and will focus on foreign policy.
Check out presidential debate history at All Politics: http://cgi.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1996/debates/history/
We read, "Debates did not play a role in the nation's early presidential races.
"In fact, for most of the 18th century, any campaigning or direct appeal for votes was frowned upon by the public and newspapers.
"Historian Samuel Eliot Morrison wrote that candidates 'were supposed to play coy, obeying a call to service from their country, saving their energies for the task of government.
"Electioneering was done by newspapers, pamphlets, and occasional public meetings.'
"Remember that newspapers during this time were partisan organs run by political parties, and did not report objectively.
"Great orators were plentiful, but important debates were limited to the Congress where, absent today's committee structure, the issues of the day were eloquently discussed at length on the House and Senate floor.
"Presidential candidates were expected to keep quiet and it was not until 1840 that a presidential candidate (William Henry Harrison of the Whig party) even stumped to advocate his own election.
"However, most credit Harrison's victory to the split in Democratic voters, not his campaigning.
"Perhaps the most famous and studied debates of the pre-broadcast era are the senatorial debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas in 1858.
"Douglas agreed to the joint appearances only after Lincoln followed him around the state, making comments from the audience.
"These debates were, according to debate expert Lee Mitchell, the first debates with national significance. "

A decision by North Coast Railroad Authority Wednesday aimed at defusing a pair of environmental lawsuits rankled two North Coast groups that have spent nearly two years taking the agency to court.
The NCRA Board of Directors voted 8-1, with Marin County director Bernard Meyers dissenting, to rescind portions of a 2011 resolution which certified an environmental impact report on running trains on a portion of rail between Willits and Lombard.
Environmentalists say Wednesday's move was made so the board could argue for dismissal of lawsuits against the authority contesting the EIR, and that abandoning the report -- which cost California taxpayers more than $3 million --is a waste of money and indicates the board does not intend to seek environmental review in the future.
The board says that the EIR remains a valuable document -- a guide for operations, contracts and future dealings with regulators -- despite the vote to rescind its certification.
"If the NCRA board takes this unprecedented step, they are as much as admitting their EIR is inadequate and they have just wasted the courts' resources and the public's time and money trying to avoid trial," Friends of the Eel River Executive Director Scott Greacen said in a press release.
NCRA, a state agency, maintains the rights to 316 miles of rails between Marin County and Humboldt County. The authority is currently contracting with the Northwest Pacific Railroad Company, which operates trains on a portion of the NCRA's line between Willits and Lombard.
Friends of the Eel River is one of two environmental groups that sued the board in 2011, saying the EIR represented a compartmentalized environmental review.
Greacen said the NCRA has indicated for years that it intends to restore the line through the Eel River Canyon, the northern portion of the authority's line that has been in disrepair for years.
Californians for Alternatives to Toxics also sued, saying the environmental report was insufficient to address toxic waste potentially released from rail construction.
All sides in the dispute indicated that rescinding certification of the report amounts to a legal tactic. Several directors said they are not revoking the EIR -- simply the board's certification of the report.
"On the question of whether or not funds have been misspent -- I think we can make a case that the EIR is of plenty value," NCRA Executive Director Mitch Stogner said.
NCRA counsel Christopher Neary said the EIR was a basis for a contract with the operator of trains on the line.
When the NCRA was awarded state funds to develop the EIR, it came with stipulations that the study and subsequent operation would follow the California Environmental Quality Act. The board maintains environmental review is not needed if construction and operation are paid for with private money, and has long argued in court that federal law preempts state law and that the state courts have no authority to block rail activity.
This approach has met with skepticism in court in the nearly two years of lawsuits against the NCRA. In the latest ruling, a Marin County judge allowed the lawsuits to proceed. While the judge affirmed the supremacy of federal law, the court said that the authority had gone so far along under state law that it couldn't reverse course.
Prior to the vote, Caltrans Humboldt Coordinator Leishara Ward read the NCRA board a letter saying the studies were paid for by state Department of Transportation funds and warning of potential consequences of revoking board approval of the report.
"This may include seeking reimbursement from the NCRA," Ward said.
"The EIR is not being trashed," Sonoma County director Allan Hemphill said. "Perhaps there is confusion in Caltrans' mind what we're doing and not doing here today."
Humboldt County 2nd District Supervisor Estelle Fennell -- also an NCRA director -- asked the board to discuss why they had previously approved certification of the EIR.
Hemphill said some environmental review was required for federal approval of operating the track.
"You may not have to do it, but you probably should do it," he said the board was advised. "Retrospectively, that ricocheted on us."
Board Vice Chairman John McCowen defended the board's position.
"The money spent on the EIR has not been money wasted by any means," he said. "As we have subsequently learned it is not necessarily required for resumption of operations."
Meyers -- the sole dissenting vote -- said the board had known since 2007 that operations could be exempt from the CEQA process but accepted the environmental review regardless.
"Promises count for something," he said. "If staff is correct that we are exempt ... we can assert that at trial."
Following the decision, Californians for Alternatives to Toxics Executive Director Patty Clary called the move "unprecedented."
"I think they're making a pretty irresponsible move to do this. It seems like a pretty desperate measure."
Clary said a hearing is scheduled on May 8 in Marin for the lawsuits against the NCRA, and expects the board's attorneys will argue that the case should be dismissed because the board voted to rescind its certification.
Greacen said he was disappointed but not surprised by the decision.
"I think it makes their position worse," he said. "The implications are whether they're going to proceed without environmental review in the future."
