GET SHORTY - Trailer - (1995) HQ
Posted by joeb at 8:52 AM

"I'm Ray Barboni from Miami"
This is a scene from the movie GET SHORTY. The movie is a black comedy. John Travolta is in it. He plays Chili Palmer. The movie is made from a book of the same name by Elmore Leonard.
Look at the post above this one for the movie trailer. As you can see from the movie trailer this is a comedy.
For those who have seen the movie they will understand the scene.
But for those who have not seen the movie taken out of context the scene doesnt make much sense.
Ray Barboni has come from Miami looking for Leo Devoe, Chili Palmer and also money that is owed to him.
Harry Zimm is a movie director who owes money to loan sharks.
Chili Palmer is the collector for the loan sharks.
Chili Palmer played by John Travolta has tried to teach Harry Zimm to say "Look at me" in a menacing way.
But when Harry Zimm tries that line on a tired Ray Barboni(a real tough guy)all hell breaks loose.
That is what is funny about this scene. Saying the wrong words to a tired Ray Barboni from Miami.
The above is a scene with Ray Barboni(Bones) from Miami. And the movie director Harry Zimm.
The actor playing Ray Barboni is now on TV doing commericials for XFinity(Comcast).

Walter Hopps (2005)
Walter Hopps on art.
Speech given at the Santa Monica Museum of Art.
Walter Hopps died on March 20, 2005 at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Hopps was one of the original owners of the Ferus Gallery which was the first gallery to show Warhol's Soup Cans in 1962 and during the same year he organized what is generally regarded as the first Pop exhibition in a museum, New Painting of Common Objects, at the Pasadena Art Museum (now the Norton Simon Museum). The following year he organized the first U.S. retrospective of Marcel Duchamp at the same museum.

Jacques(Jack)Morgan One Cool Dude
What I have to say about Jack I posted on the comments section in the link above
and also in the link down below. I liked the guy. So did so many other people. In a cut throat business like used books he was something special. We had lots of characters in the used books and records game and Jack was one of the best. He stood out. You could not miss that pony tail. And he was always in a hurry.
In a way he personifies the best of the used book dealer trade. I did not go to his store often but I saw him at every used book sale in the D.C. area for over 30 years. He will be missed. And if you read the comments you will see many other people say the same thing.
One thing that stands out about his Washington Post obituary is how is it that a used book dealer got such a large obituary in The Washington Post. It was a very large photo and an obit almost half a page.
It is nice to see The Post do something like that for a local "character".
Jack just died. He was a cool guy. You can tell by the comments from his friends in the links above and below.

The Case Of The Missing Turkeys At The Washington Plaza Hotel
This is a story about some missing turkeys at The Washington Plaza Hotel back in the day.
This happened sometime around 1988 or so.
The hotel used to give a Christmas party for all the employees with free food and drink. And that included alcoholic beverages. There was always a jolly good time with music and dancing. But some of the help drank too much and would argue over who was going to dance with who. Sometimes this would lead to fights.
Plus the management became worried about liability of those driving home intoxicated. I know one engineer was drunk enough to get a DUI on his way home to Virginia.
So the Christmas parties were cancelled and word went out that all employees would receive a free turkey for Christmas instead.
These were frozen turkeys to be kept in a freezer across from the Security Office located by the employee entrance and exit.
The Security Officers were to hand out the turkeys and get the person to sign for them or in some cases sign for the person receiving the turkey. So far so good.
Except. Lo and Behold we ran out of turkeys before everyone received one.
Turns out some of the Security Officers were giving them out to their friends outside the hotel and
maybe to friendly cab drivers who stopped by.
Maybe some took more than one turkey. Who knows?
It was quite an embarassment to the management and to the Director of Security. But more turkeys must have been acquired and the incident was soon forgotten.

This is the Eureka Brass Band around 1950. The video above this one is for the funeral of the leader of the Eureka Brass Band Percy Humphrey.

opening credit sequence.
The Cincinnati Kid Full Movie
This is a link to info on Jazz Funerals.
You can watch the full movie via the link below. My friend Jack Newell and I worked as extras in this film in Jan. 1965 when it was being filmed in New Orleans.
Click on the label The Cincinnati Kid in the Labels box below for more posts I have written about this.
And look for Jack and me over on the sidewalk at 3:33 in the video. We are the only two white people there. MGM was very good about paying all the people who appeared in that opening credit sequence.
They fed us meals three times a day during the filming. The opening credit sequence with the band playing after the funeral and marching was filmed on a Sunday morning. They had given us a breakfast of coffee and pastries. Doughnuts and maybe more. Then while they filmed that scene over and over many in the crowd and those dancing enjoyed some adult beverages. So each take got better and better.

The Cocktail Waitress By James M. Cain
I just finished reading this book. It was written many years ago and Cain has been dead for many years but someone found this old manuscript and published it.
It is clearly not as good as his early novels like The Postman Aways Rings Twice and Mildred Pierce and Double Indemnity but being by James M. Cain it is worth reading.
James M. Cain like Patricia Highsmith often tells his stories from the point of view of the bad guy or the bad girl. In this case it is not clear whether the girl is good or bad.
I suppose the novel Crime And Punishment is like that also.
I was interested in this book also because it is set in Hyattsville, Maryland. He mentions a few real places like Prince Georges Plaza and a nightclub called The Wigwam.
in the 1950s or 1960s.
Click on the picture to enlarge it. It was on Route 301 in Waldorf, Maryland. Later it became a bakery and just recently it was demolished.
Cain lived the last years of his life in Hyattsville Maryland. He admitted it was a mistake to leave California which was the inspiration for his best work.
This book has a very unusual ending which I will not give away.
But it ends with the reader knowing something the character in the book does not know.
Something that will happen in the future. I have never read another novel with such an unusual twist at the

Two Eugenes I Once Knew Eugene Walter And Eugene J Martin
Above is the entry on Eugene Walter. I met him in Rome in the summer of 1964. My mother was a friend of Annie Lou White who was Eugene's English and French teacher at Murphly High School in Mobile, Alabama.
When I was going to Europe in the summer of 1964 she gave me Eugene's address in Rome. She must have written him a letter telling him I might stop by to see him because he welcomed me and gave me a good tip on a cheap nearby hotel.
I was lucky that he was in Rome and at home and not too busy.
The apartment building he lived in at number 18 Corso Emmanuel in Rome was also home to Leontyne Price. He had gotten her the apartment under his to use when she came to Rome to record for RCA Victor.
When I knocked on his door on the top floor I had passed her apartment on the way up. She was originally from Laurel, Mississippi. Eugene and I were from nearby Mobile, Alabama. Still at the tender young age of
24 I was amazed how Southerners get around.
I knocked on Eugene's door. He answered and led me through a room filled with fake trees from some opera set.
He was very friendly and we had a chat and he showed me his terrace where he grew his garden.
I went off to my hotel and later in the week he took me to dinner in the apartment of Linda Christian.
Some man was staying there. She was not a home. But there were stacks and stacks of her autobiography or biography in the apartment.
I drank so much wine I had to sleep there that night. Eugene took off.
I dropped by to see Eugene before I headed off to Greece at the end of the week.
He gave my a copy of the Transatlantic Review of which he was an editor.
He also told me to read Henry Miller's Colossus of Maroussi which he said was the best travel book in English about Greece.
I mentioned to him that Hamilton Basso described the relationships in the South of the USA where everyone seems to be related as a bundle of fish hooks. Eugene was not impressed with Hamilton Basso.
I was very lucky to meet Eugene Walter when he was still young.
Annie Lou White was keeping Eugene's book collection for him while he was in Europe. She showed some of them to me. I remember he had some William Faulkner first editions. The first I had ever seen.
Mobile is justly proud of Eugene Walter. In years to come he will be remembered right up there with Madam Octavia Walton Levert.
Eugene Martin I knew in Washington D.C. I think Bill Mckenzie introduced me to him. Eugene Martin a
very quiet nice man. I published one of his drawings in the magazine we were doing back in 1967,1968,1969.
It is nice to find on Youtube that he went on to bigger and better things.
In the videos below you will find out more on Eugene Martin and Eugene Walter.
The picture of Eugene Martin sitting on a bench in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. is what he
looked like in 1969 and when I knew him. Dupont Circle was two blocks from where we lived.
It is also about 4 blocks from The Phillips Art Museum. And the same distance to the location of The Washington Gallery of Modern Art where Walter Hopps was director in 1967 before moving on in 1970 to the Corcoran Gallery of Art as Director.

Tuba Skinny in New Orleans And As For Me I Was Born Too Soon
We all know people who think they were born too late. I am beginning to think I
was born too soon.
When we lived in New Orleans in 1965 and 1966 there were no street bands like
Tuba Sknny playing in and around the French Quarter.
I first went to New Orleans in 1955 and was in an out of there off and on through
1980. Never did I ever see any street bands like Tuba Skinny and the others that
can now be found on the streets and the clubs in and around the French Quarter
and on Youtube.
Apparently they all appeared in the years after Hurricane Katrina.
Tuba Skinny was formed in 2009 and I have been following them on Youtube
ever since. They have now been together 3 years. They play in and around New
Orleans in the winter months. In the summer they take off for Europe Jazz Festivals
and then return to play summer gigs in New England and in and around New York City.
Then they return to New Orleans in the Fall each year.
In 1965 and 1966 and on up into the 1980s the older traditional jazz musicians
were dying off or were already dead in New Orleans.
Now out of nowhere there have appeared young white musicians not just playing
traditional New Orleans jazz and blues but playing it exceedlingly well.
A miracle has happened. The torch has been passed to people like the singer for Tuba Skinny
Erika Lewis and the leader and cornet player of Tuba Skinny Shaye Cohn.
Click on the label tuba skinny in the label box below for more of my posts about them and also
more of their youtube videos.
There is a new birth of jazz going on in New Orleans. It is being played by young muscians. I think
I was born too soon. But I am glad I lived long enough to see and hear it.

James M. Cain And The Cocktail Waitress
Link above is to a good article on Cain.
Click on the photo to enlarge it.
It was a real revelation reading Cain for the first time. When I picked up THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE and read the first sentence I could not put it down until I finished the book.
Cain knew how to grab you and not let you go.
He made a big mistake moving back to Maryland and Hyattsville, Maryland. Nobody is interested in fiction set in Hyattsville, Maryland no matter how good it is.
LA sells and Hollywood really sells. There is not much there there in Hyattsville. Who cares what a waitress in Hyattsville does or does not do? Nobody that's who.
Cain wrote for the movies and his books read just like a movie. They are that direct and visual. The dialogue is as realistic as you can get. He was fascinated with the way people really speak. Working class people talking street talk.
People reading Cain for the first time don't know what to make of his style. Is he a first rate fiction writer or is he a pulp fiction writer or is he both?
What he is is very entertaining. A master of his craft. Just like Patricia Highsmith, and Raymond Chandler, and Hammett.
I wanted to go visit him in Hyattsville back in 1968 and 1969 and never got around to it. But from what I have learned of him and his life at that time it might have been a bad time to try to visit him with his health failing and his wife dying.
I suspect he was a quiet man who did not want to be bothered. He was a real writer. He lived his life on paper. And even though he thought his life was not interesting his books sure were.

The Veiled Nun At The Corcoran Gallery Of Art Washington D.C.
This is my favorite piece of art at the Corcoran in D.C. Click on the picture to enlarge it. And then read about it in the link above. But to get the full effect it needs to be seen in person. You can see through the marble veil to see her marble face. I always pay her a visit when I go to the Corcoran.
The Corcoran is hurting for money and they may have to sell the building and/or the Collection.
The biggest problem is they are charging 10 dollars admission in a city that is full of free museums.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s there was no admission fee.
The adjacent Corcoran Art School is doing fine. One suggestion that sounded good to me is save the old historic beautiful building by turning the whole building into the Art School. Mark Power made that suggestion. He wrote an article for the Washington Post about that.

Hapuna Beach Where Have All The Hippies Gone?
This is where Jerry slept on the beach for three weeks back in 1970. See my post below this one for the
full story. Hippies camped out here back then. Looks like they are all gone.

Some Of Jerry's Good Stories About Hapuna Beach Hawaii 1970
Jerry likes to talk. He likes to tell stories and often he talks endlessly. But some of his stories are good.
He doesn't write them down and he doesn't use a computer. He just likes to talk. He weighs about 450 pounds. He is a good natured fellow with a sweet disposition.
He likes to tell stories of when he was young and on the road.
He traveled over much of the USA and Mexico with his parents on their vacations when he was growing up.
He has been to India three times and he likes to go often to Virginia Beach. But when he was younger he traveled with friends to the west coast and Alaska and then on by himself to Hawaii.
When he left Alaska it was getting cold. Real cold. Winter was coming in fast. He decided to fly to Hawaii while he still had the money to do so. He flew to Seattle and got a ticket to the Big Island. They stopped in Honolulu long enough to have the plane cleaned and then headed out to the Big Island. There were only about 5 people onboard. The flight attendents had plenty of time to talk to the passengers. One of them told him to rent a car in Hilo and drive around to the other side of the island to a place called Hapuna Beach. This was back around 1970 and hippies still were allowed to live on the beach there at that time.
So Jerry took her advice. He rented a car and drove around the island arriving at Hapuna Beach late at night.
He went down to the beach and went to sleep. When he woke up a young woman was standing over him. She said you must have arrived last night. Come on over to our camp and have some breakfast.
So began Jerry's 3 weeks on Hapuna Beach. He lived there on the beach and never had to spend any money.
There was a college professor there from some midwestern US school. He was sort of a philosopher who had dropped out, tuned in, and turned on. He would not tell anyone his name. He said, "Call me H". That was what he was called by everyone. Just "H".
He worked part time killing sharks to earn enough money to live the rest of the year without working.
One day Jerry decided to write a letter to one of his brothers telling him where he was and what he was doing. Jerry was sitting at a picnic table writing this letter when one of the hippie types came up to him and asked him what he was doing. Jerry told him. The guy said I dont think you should tell anybody about this place. They must find it on their on. He didn't want anymore people showing up. He wanted to keep the place a secret.
I have looked at photos and videos of Hapuna beach. It is indeed one of the most beautiful beaches in the USA. I don't think it has changed much. It is still a state park and has been kept undeveloped.
Hotels near that area are very expensive. But Jerry was lucky. He hit it at just the right time. He lived there 3 weeks rent free living on the beach. I wonder if H is still there. I doubt it.
Even some of the old Hawaii Five O episodes from around that time of 1969/1970 show hippies living on the beaches. I think there are still hippies living in remote areas inland today.
When Jerry had just enough money to fly to LA he left and headed home to Virginia. He hitch hiked all the way across country. Leaving LA he was picked up by a van full of hippies. It was dark and he could not see the people in the back of the van. They were real friendly and one of the girls in the back came forward to offer him food. She said "Here have something to eat".
And Jerry said one other thing about her. He said she was totally nude. She did not have on a stitch of clothes.
That was what life was like back in the 1960s and early 1970s. It all ended around 1975 when the Vietnam war ended. The country had been driven nuts from 1965 to 1975 by the Vietnam War and the draft. As soon as the war ended and the draft ended everything changed and all the protests stopped. The 1960s were finally over. It was the draft that caused all the protests. Now we have a war entering the 11th year. And no protests against it. The Pentagon has learned they dont need to draft people anymore. So not a protest in sight here in Washington D.C.
More Jerry stories to follow. Stay tuned.

Some More Stories From A Former Hotel Detective Or House Dick As They Used To Be Known
The link below is to some good info on Hotel Detectives.
I was lucky enough to be a Hotel Detective at one of the very best hotels in Washington, D.C. It is the Shoreham Hotel. It has been a landmark in Washington, D.C. since it was built in 1929. It was an upper class hotel back then with riding stables and a full service garage and service station in the underground parking garage. Rudy Vallee came down from New York for the grand opening in 1929.
Later Bob Hope used Suite B120 every time he came to Washington D.C. as his home away from home.
The New York Yankees used to stay there when they came to town to play the Washington Senators. But that was before my time.
By the time I went to work at The Shoreham it had become a convention hotel. Back in the old days there was no need for a security force. I was told back in the old days there was only one House Detective(or House Dick) and he was an old friend of the owner. The hotel orignally was also an apartment hotel and even when I went to work there in 1977 there were still a handful of permanent residents.
#1: Someone was breaking in the pinball machines in the Game Room and stealing all the money.
This was in 1977 before the advent of more modern electronic games.
I decided to catch whoever it was. We had been patrolling the area but it was located in a remote room at the end of a remote corridor.
One night I went in a saw that a machine had been broken into. I walked back toward the Lobby and came to a Men's Room at the end of that corridor. I went in and saw no one. But my wife had told me that Columbo (the TV detective played by the actor Peter Falk) always got down on his hands and knees to look for things and get a better view. So I knelt down and looked under the stalls. I saw several stacks of quarters and the bottom of two legs. Someone was stacking up the quarters and counting them.
So I said to the person come out. It was a teenager. He admitted breaking in the machines. I found out he was staying in the hotel with his parents. So went up to their room and I explained the situation to them.
I did write a report but I dont think we bothered to call the police. His parents said they would make sure it would not happen again.
#2. When I came to work one day at the Shoreham the boss showem me a box of what looked like costume jewelery and asked me if I knew anything about it. I told him no.
One of the guys from the night before had left it in his desk thinking it was cotume jewelry. It had been turned in by the Chipnese Banquet waiter named Chang. Chang told him if there was a reward he wanted it.
It had been left at a party the night before.
Later that evening I got a call from a man from Philadelphia, Pa. He said his wife had lost some jewelry and was worth ten thousand dollars. He wanted us to send it to him. I told him no he would have to come and get it and prove it was his and sign for it. He said he would come down on the train the next day.
I told the night security who had received it from Chang and put it in the desk of the boss what had happened. He said why did I tell the man we had it. He said he could use that money. He was an active duty Marine by the way.
I left it at that. I must have also told the boss what was going on with this found property.
The next day I learned the man had come down and given a large reward to the Marine who claimed he found it. And the Marine gave nothing to Chang. Well Chang got wind of what had happened and complained to the Boss and the Hotel Manager. After everything came out Chang got some money and the Marine was fired.
More stories to follow soon. Stay tuned.
I worked in hotels before the advent of security cameras. We did not have any. And even if we did there are simply too many places where cameras could not be used. We had to patrol the whole propery.
Mostly what we did at the Shoreham was do whatever we were asked to do by management. We had a bunch of old retired military and retired cops working there. Sometimes they hired young guys who went on to become full time cops.
At Washington Plaza they hired a quite a few retired old guys from the Old Soldiers Home. The official name is The Soldiers and Airmen Home in Washington D.C.
It was built before the Civil War. The money for it came from a fine General Winfield Scott(old Fuss and Feathers)imposed on the defeated Mexicans after the war with Mexico. The fined them 150,000 dollars. The money was used to build the Old Soldiers Home in Washington D.C.
I visited that place several times. It is a real interesting place. Read about it below.

Why Did The Dentist Slip And Fall On The Marble Floor In The Hallway Of The Shoreham Hotel?
In the picture above note the white marble columns. Also note the marble floors. The incident described below took place in the hallway seen at the far right in back of the picture above.
Another one of the first reports I took as a Security Officer at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C. back in 1977 was about a man who had slipped and fallen and hurt himself on the marble floor in the hallway.
We had a convention of about 10,000 dentists at the hotel. The place was packed and I got a call that a man had fallen and hurt himself. I went to take the report. The man was still lying on the marble floor next to a marble column. He told me he had slipped on the wet floor. I could see that water had dripped down the marble column and collected on the almost white marble floor making the water almost invisible and hard to see..
The man was a dentist and he had fallen and injured his wrist and arm. He was with his wife and another man. I asked if he wanted me to call an ambulance. He said no as I recall and that his wife and friend who was his lawyer would drive him to the hospital.
I later found out he was hurt badly enough that he could not work as a dentist. I don't know how much money he got from the hotel's insurance company but I bet it was quite a bit.
Watch out for wet floors.

Who Took The Seifrizii Palm Tree From The Lobby Of The Shoreham Hotel?
The first report I took as a Security Officer at the Shoreham Hotel back in 1977 was on a report of a stolen palm tree. It was by the man who worked for the company that supplied the indoor palm trees to the hotel.
He called to say he was missing a palm tree. I went to the Lobby to meet him. I asked him what kind of palm tree it was. He replied that it was a "Seifrizii Palm Tree". I asked him how to spell that name and took the report. Later we got a call from Housekeeping that a maid had found a palm tree in one of the rooms
upstairs. I went up and got the small plam tree and brought it back down to the Lobby.
Some happy and drunken guest had taken it upstairs and put it in the room of one of his friends.
"Bamboo Palm: It is a multi-trunk plant which is ideally suited for wide spaces in your house or office. It can grow to about 8 - 10 feet tall and 5 - 7 feet wide, making it an ideal plant to use as a partition or a screen in your interior designing plans. It is ideally suited for indoor use, as the plant thrives in shade conditions. Scientific name 'Chamaedorea seifrizii', the bamboo palm needs a little looking after, as it might get infested with pests like spider mites because of its dense leafy characteristics. It is one of the most sought after palm tree because of its dense green appearance."
.Bamboo Palm Tree - Chamaedorea seifrizii
"The Large Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii) originates from Southeast Asia, but can now be found abundantly throughout Central America. The Bamboo Palm goes by many other common names such as Bamboo Palm, Reed Palm, Clustered Parlor Palm, and Cane Palm. It has a deep green color to the stalk and thin to thick-feathery leaves. With the proper amount of water the Bamboo Palm can grow rapidly to an average height of 10 to 15 feet. There are many species belonging to the Chamaedorea family but by far the Chamaedorea seifrizii is the most seen. When situated in the right environment the Bamboo Palm can flourish and bring good luck and fortune to your home or office."

A Tribute to Mort Sahl
Mort Sahl's LP albums were very important to me when I was in college. Later I collected every one of the LP records shown in the video above.
I also saw him in one of his college appearances back in 1971. He was always funny. And I learned a great deal from him.
He was a real Iconoclast.

Into The Wild - Theatrical Trailer
I just re read the book this movie is based on.
Read the book then see the movie.
Then go to Youtube and look at all the related videos. There is one with an interview with his father. One with an interview done with his mother. Both done at the site of their son's death at the old school bus out in the wilderness of Alaska.
Chris is a hero to many and considered a fool by many. He went into the wilderness unprepared and
unwilling to listen to older wiser heads who could have taught him.
Chris McCandless reminds me a great deal of Jim Morrison. Both grew up in the wilderness of the Washington, D.C. suburbs. Chris in Annandale, Va. and Jim Morrison in Alexandria, Va. Both had hard driving highly successful fathers. Morrison's father was a Navy Admiral. Chris's father was a NASA scientist. Both had "Daddy Issues". And extended that to society issues.
Both Chris and Jim chose a path that led to self destruction.
They never had a chance to grow up.
I saw Morrison and the Doors at the Alexandria Rollerrink back in 1967 or 1968 on The Doors first tour.
He was on the cusp of fame and it would destroy him.
Annandale is a bedroom suburb where there is "no there there" as Gertrude Stein said of another place in America. Oakland, Ca. I believe it was.
If I had grown up in Annandale, Va. I would have wanted to get out of there also. There is no town there. I can understand Chris's longing for solitude and a wilderness devoid of endless suburban homes that all look alike. A suburban desert with nothing but fast food joints and K Marts and middle middle middle class people. Sadly much of America is now like this. WalMart has killed off most all of the small towns in America.
INTO THE WILD would be a good book for English teachers to teach to high school seniors and also college English profs to have their students read to discuss.
Was Chris a fool or a really brave young man or both?
Was he simply too smart and too headstrong for his own good?
How can young men grow up in a suburban wilderness and not want to get out and explore the world and try to find something that is "real" and not fake.

This is the RAID movie from Finland with English subtitles. It is the sequel to the tv series of the same name from Finland. You can sometimes find that series for sale with English subtitles on Ebay.
If this doesn't start with English subtitles turn on closed caption.
You are in for a real treat.
Too bad we dont have film makers in the USA anymore that can make a film as good as this one. It has a good bit of dry Finnish humor and gritty Mickey Spillane type violence.

Baby Doll (1956) Trailer
Interesting that the above trailer got the dates wrong on her age. She is 19 and the deal is about when she turns 20. I just watched the film yesterday on TCM. It is a much better film that I had realized.
It is really one of the best films about Mississippi that I have ever seen. It may seem over the top but there really were people like that in Mississippi back in those days. This is a little known and less appreciated film by Williams and director Elia Kazan. It was banned in Boston as I recall.
Carroll Baker was nominated for an Oscar for her performance as Baby Doll.

Panic In the Streets -1950 (Elia Kazan) FULL MOVIE
A good movie directed by Elia Kazan Jack Palance in his first big role.
Set in New Orleans and filmed entirely there.
I got a chance to go see and meet Jack Palance just before he died. He came to Washington D.C. to speak about his WW2 experience at the opeing of the WW2 memorial. He along with many other vets did this. Ernest Borgnine was supposed to come also but did not show up. About 300 or so people filled a tent on the Mall to hear and see Jack Palance.
Afterwards he did sign autographs for a long line of people. I did not want to wait in the long line so I went up fast and spoke to him as they were lining up. I told him how much I liked Panic In The Streets and he smiled.
I also told him I really liked the ending of the film. And he nodded and smiled again.
This is a terrific film with great black and white footage of New Orleans in 1949/1950. It was released in 1950. But it must have been shot in 1949.

Memphis Minnie - Black Rat Swing
When I went to Muscle Shoals Alabama in 1978 around Labor Day with Big Joe Williams and George Cummings there was another guy who came along with us. He was a German Blues critic,photographer, and record producer.. His name was Axel Kustner. He told me about Memphis Minnie. I had never heard of her. I knew I had a lot of learning to do about the history of blues in America. And it was not lost on me that it was a young German who told me about her. Turns out young people in Germany and France and Japan and all over Europe and the Far East know more about the history of American music than our own people do. Some Americans know the history of great American blues and jazz but most do not. That is a great shame. But with the help of YouTube I think everyone is learning about this great music now.
See the post below this one for Big Joe Williams version of this song.

That old 'Frisco train makes a mile a minute
That old 'Frisco train makes a mile a minute
Well, in that old coach, I'm gonna sit right in it
I'm on my way, to 'Frisco town
You can toot your whistle, you can ring your bell
You can toot your whistle, you can ring your bell
But I know you been wanting it by the way you smell
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
There's a boa constrictor and a lemon stick
There's a boa constrictor and a lemon stick
I don't mind being with you but my mama's sick
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
I would tell you what's the matter, but I done got scared
I would tell you what's the matter, but I done got scared
You got to wait now, until we go to bed
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
If you was sick, I wouldn't worry you
If you was sick, I wouldn't worry you
I wouldn't want you to do something that you couldn't do
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
Well, if you want it, you can get it, and I ain't mad
Well, if you want it, you can get it, and I ain't mad
If you tell me this is something that you ain't never had
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
Look-a here, you get mad everytime I call your name
Look-a here, you get mad everytime I call your name
I ain't never told you that you couldn't get that thing
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
I woke up this morning about half past five
I woke up this morning about half past five
My baby turned over, cried just like a child
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
I got something to tell you, I don't want to make you mad
I got something to tell you, I don't want to make you mad
I got something for you, make you feel glad
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
Look-a here, look-a here, what you want me to do
Look-a here, look-a here, what you want me to do
Give you my jelly when die for you
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town
I got something to tell you, gonna break your heart
I got something to tell you, gonna break your heart
We been together so far, we gotta get apart
I'm on my way to 'Frisco town

Today is the 50th Anniversary Of The Happiest Day Of My Life
I just remember how happy I was that morning of August 20th 1962 when I woke up knowing I would be getting out of the military and returning to civilian life. I took my trumpet up on top of a small mountain outside Meridian and played my horn as the sun came up.
Later that day we drank Yucca Flats made by Tommy Harvey. Here is the link to how he made that wonderful mixture.
And the link below is to a post I wrote about Steve Forbert and his father Sam Forbert who was the commanding officer of my Air Force unit.
Here is the only bright spot I remember from the whole year of active duty.

The Mayflower In Plymouth Mass. And The Mayflower 2
Here is some really good information on The Mayflower and Plymouth, Mass.
The Mayflower made the crossing all alone in 1620 with 102 passengers and 30 crew members. It took 66 days to get across from England. Now people fly over in 6 hours.
Here is info on Mayflower 2. This replica made a crossing in 1957. It now resides in Plymouth, Mass. not far from the Plymouth Rock.

Marilyn Monroe Died 50 Years Ago This Weekend August 5th 1962.
It came as a big shock since she was so young. It was not expected. Elvis's death was just about the same shock and big news.
I was in the Air Force in Meridian in August of 1962 and a guy who had some relatives with a house(or cabin)near Gulf Shores invited 3 of us to go with him for the weekend.
We had had a good time and the news about Marilyn's death came on Sat. July 5th as I recall. The link below shows some of the newspaper reports from that time. I guess someone heard it on a radio and then told others by word of mouth. We were at the beach. She was only 36 years old.
I have read many books about her and her death and don't know what really happened. There are so many rumors just like the Kenneday assassination that it is hard to know what to believe.
I do not know who first published her autopsy photo. It showed her face and head without any makeup and her hair had been washed back away from her face. She looked very ordinary.
The autopsy photo is available online but I don't feel like adding it in this post. I remember the first time I saw the autopsy photo of her face and head and how shocked I was. It changed my whole attitude about beauty Hollywood style.
As Rita Hayworth who played Gilda in the movie Gilda once said, "Men go to bed with Gilda and they wake up with me".
Cybill Shepherd once said of Hollywood beauty in general "It is all hair and makeup".

Chick- Fil-A Controversy To Eat Or Not To Eat That Chicken Sandwich That Is The Question
This morning a few of us were discussing the Chick Fil A controversy now in the news.
I walked outside and saw a coupon for a free sandwich right outside the front door.
I picked it up and turned it over. Someone had written on it. See below. They had decided to return the offer of a free Breakfast Entree and instead send a message.
I wish some reporter would find Jimmy Carter and ask him what he thinks about this Chick-Fil-A. controversy.
Since the company was started near Atlanta in 1947 and the owner is a devout Christian I would think Jimmy might be a friend of his.
Good video below about how this is playing out in Decatur Georgia.

Florida Is For Love Bugs
These bugs get in the radiators of cars and trucks and can stop them up to the point the vehicle will over heat from a stopped up radiator. It happened to me once on the road from Orange City, Florida to Mobile, Alabama. I had to go to a mechanic and havc them take a rod and open up the radiator and push all the bugs out. Unbelievable but true.
Click on the pictures to enlarge them and read all about lovebugs in the links below.

Director of Anchorage animal rescue organization fined for sanitation violation
The executive director of a local dog rescue is once again facing a fine from Anchorage Animal Care and Control.
Animal control received a complaint, which raised the concern that dogs were being kept at a warehouse on Mike Street, according to spokesperson Laura Atwood.
Atwood said when officers went to investigate, they learned Beverly Ausick, executive director of Alaska Animal Rescue Friends (AARF) was using the space for the rescue. Officers didn't see dogs living at the facility, but did see a lot of feces, so they fined Ausick $500 for care and sanitation violations.
"If any more complaints are filed, we will follow up, just as we always do and yes, it is possible that our officers may make unannounced checks just to see how the facility is being maintained and see how many animals are indeed there," said Atwood.
The owner of the warehouse confirmed Ausick is using the office space to coordinate AARF foster homes and adoptions, but not to store animals.
Ausick did not want to go on camera or talk with KTVA. She has been fined in the past for care and sanitation violations related to the previous facility where AARF housed some of its rescue dogs.
Atwood says animal control officers do not focus on a single person or organization when it comes to enforcing the code. They instead focus on the conditions in which the animals are living.
"Do they have shelter? Do they have food and water? Do they have adequate veterinary care? We have to go by what the code allows us to check for the care of the animals," said Atwood.
The post Director of Anchorage animal rescue organization fined for sanitation violation appeared first on KTVA 11.

B train – 7th Avenue to 42nd Street
A young girl, probably 6, is bored. She holds the bar next to her seat in two places, her hands six inches apart. She looks up often at the people standing in the car, before returning her head to rest on her right hand, which she's curled around the handle bar. Her father, a large man in an orange t-shirt, jeans shorts, and generic sneakers, leans over and says something. She laughs. Next to him is a woman who might be related, also Hispanic, about the same age as the man.
"Are we almost there?" the girl asks. She has begun attempting to climb the pole.
They are visiting from Florida. His father is in the hospital, has been there or a while, but does not know his son is here, in New York. The man and his daughter are going to a museum – the Met? Natural History? – and then will surprise his father at the hospital. The woman appears to be a relative, but not a wife. She spends most of the ride reading from what looks like my Intro to Theology book from high school, and was unaware that the father was sick.
Everyone around them is silent. An older Chinese couple, a large man with his iPod plugged in and his eyes closed, and a 65-year old white man whose look of nothingness suggests he's worked all his life and is unsure what to do now. Down the car a black man in a dark grey suit holds his face with his right hand posed like a brace flying buttress. The cathedral, his head, seems to be staring at nothing in particular, thinking hard about something very serious. Across from him, an Indian man, tall and hulking, has passed out on his laptop bag.
The man is telling his daughter about the train. About why it might be stuck at the moment (a car ahead), about why we can't see the streets (we're underground), and about whether we're there yet (we're halfway). They have tickets to Yankee Stadium, expensive ones, for tonight's game. They'll go after the museum and the hospital. Grandpa won't be able to come.
The woman gets off the train at West 4th, saying goodbye to both of them. Finally the girl gets her unspoken wish, moving to the seat by the window that the woman had occupied. She cups her hands like she's staring through a toy store window, trying to catch a glimpse of whatever is outside – inside the tunnel.

Multimatic Motorsports and RS1 added to their respective IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge class leads by winning the recent event at Road America, giving both teams added momentum entering Saturday's Oak Tree Grand Prix at VIRginia International Raceway.
Scott Maxwell and Billy Johnson scored their third consecutive victory – and fourth of the season – at Road America in the No. 15 Multimatic Motorsports Ford Shelby GT350R-C. They now lead the Grand Sport (GS) class by 23 points, 228-205, with only three races remaining in the 2016 season.
Danny Burkett and Marc Miller finished sixth at Road America in the No. 33 CJ Wilson Racing ONE Capital Management/MotorOilMatters.org Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport. They were running second, but needed a late stop for a splash of fuel, ending a streak of four consecutive podium finishes for the second-place team in the standings.
"With only three races left, we've got to swing for the fence," Miller said. "We've gone through a few races where we've fallen short of doing what we needed to do to stay in the title chase. Now we've got to try to win every race and hope that the Mustang team has similar issues to what we've had. It seems we've had one issue that's kept us off the top step of the podium in every race. We've got to eliminate that."
Three-time 2016 GS winners Cameron Cassels and Trent Hindman placed fifth in the recent race and remain third in the championship with 189 points. They co-drive the No. 12 Bodymotion Racing Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport.
Rob Ecklin returns to the Automatic Racing lineup at VIR, driving the No. 99 Invisible Glass/Rogue Engineering/Melbourne BMW/Red Glare Records Aston Martin Vantage, while Charles Espenlaub and Charlie Putman share the team's No. 09 Aston Martin.
ST Points-Leading RS1 Porsche Adds Lally To Lineup
Spencer Pumpelly will be getting a "wingman" for the Oak Tree Grand Prix in his bid to extend his lead in the Street Tuner (ST) class. With Pumpelly and Nick Galante holding a 14-point lead in the No. 17 Legistics/RickieFowler.com Porsche Cayman, RS1 added Andy Lally to the team's No. 18 Cayman, joining Phil Bloom. The team also fields the No. 19 Cayman for Connor Bloum and Greg Strelzoff.
"This will be an extremely important weekend for the championship," said Pumpelly, the 2015 VIR ST winner for RS1. "If we have a bad weekend, there's not a lot of time to catch back up. We go into the race with high hopes and big expectations, but we know it's a really tough series and there's always a fight every weekend. I'm excited to have Andy as my teammate. He's going to be running towards the front, and maybe he will put some separation between us and the No. 25 car."
Pumpelly and Galante have 208 points, while Stevan McAleer and Chad McCumbee – drivers of the No. 25 Freedom Autosport ModSpace Mazda MX-5, have 194. Eric Foss and Jeff Mosing, drivers of the No. 56 Murillo Racing Porsche Cayman and 2014 ST winners at VIR, are third with 166 points.
"I have driven, tested, and raced at VIR extensively for the duration of its modern history, and it is a special track," Clay said. "It's an amazing place to drive, with features that are exciting and intense. It's one of my favorite tracks to race and one of the best in the country for spectators to watch a race from a variety of scenic vantage points. VIR is not only our home track, but it's also a special place for us."
BimmerWorld also fields the No. 81 BMW 3278i for Jerry Kaufman of Mooresville, North Carolina and Englishman Kyle Tilley. The satellite Next Level European team has the No. 38 Porsche Cayman for Seth Thomas and Dan Rogers, and the No. 83 Red Line Oil Cayman for Ari Balogh and Greg Liefooghe.
"Every panel except the driver's door and the roof was damaged, and we initially thought we needed a new front clip," Thomson explained. "But the guys did an incredible job. They pulled out all the stops, and now it looks like nothing ever happened."
Drivers Paul Holton and Pierre Kleinubing remain fourth in the GS standings.

Aluminum as the main aluminum production material, aluminum can resist most of the acid corrosion, but soluble in aqua regia. Manufacturing and construction are the largest markets for the aluminum industry. Transport is the second largest market for aluminum, aluminum in the defense industry has a wide range of uses, with aluminum ships, not only fast, not seawater erosion, and no magnetic, to prevent magnetic mine attacks. Aluminum in the metallurgical industry, for the smelting of high melting point metals (chromium, vanadium, manganese, molybdenum, etc.), also used in the process of steelmaking deoxidizer. Aluminum powder can be used to make silver paint. aluminum Duct Metal cadmium can also be extracted from waste from the aluminum industry. Aluminum in low temperature environment, the strength and mechanical properties are still very good, or even improved, so aluminum can not only be used for frozen food transport, liquefaction devices, cold areas of buildings, can also be used for rocket liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen storage tanks and other parts The So that you can guarantee a certain intensity in the acid and alkali in the normal transport, which is why a lot of acid and alkali products with aluminum cans to transport the reasons.
And aluminum in the other metal, these alloys can ensure that other physical capacity is more powerful, aluminum alloy than pure aluminum has a better physical and mechanical properties: aluminum Duct easy processing, high durability, wide range of applications, decorative effect, rich color The Aluminum alloy is divided into rust-proof aluminum, hard aluminum, super-hard aluminum and other types, all kinds have their own use.
Aluminum alloy still maintains a light weight, but the mechanical properties are significantly improved. Aluminum Duct aluminum alloy material has the following three aspects: First, aluminum Duct as a force component; Second, as the door, window, Duct, cover, shell and other materials; Third, as decoration and insulation materials. The use of aluminum alloy anodized after treatment can be colored characteristics, made of various decorations. Aluminum alloy sheet, profile surface can be anti-corrosion, ginning, painting, printing and other secondary processing, made of various decorative plates, profiles, as decorative materials. Aluminum pipe is low cost, and the use of a processing technology can mass production of the same parts, which is one of his characteristics. aluminum Duct As a material they are made of aluminum, in use can have a good physical and chemical requirements, so that can also make more users a good grasp.

senf: the mustardy sensitive number finder
senf is a portable tool for finding sensitive numbers. Use this tool to identify files on your system that may have Social Security Numbers (SSNs) or Credit Card Numbers (CCNs). The latest version can always be found at the senf site.
Download pre-built release binary
The latest release build can be downloaded at https://github.com/utiso/senf/releases/latest

Warning! [About senf]
Warning: Do not have a false sense of security after running this program
It is important to understand what senf is, and what senf is not
What senf is
- A program written in Java by humans
- A program which can quickly and conveniently point the operator of a computer to files which contain strings of text which resemble SSNs or CCNs
- A program which tries to find files with large quantities of SSNs/CCNs; you can tell it to find a single occurence of a pattern, but that will yield many false positives.
What senf is not
- An infallible oracle which will detect all SSNs/CCNs and only SSNs/CCNs.
- A prophet which will enlighten a computer operator as to the exact location of an SSN/CCN within a file (although the GUI version is somewhat sibylline).
- Designed to detect sensitive data in encoded/encrypted binary files. In fact, it skips many file extensions by default.
What all this means
- There will be false positives
- There will be false negatives
Which reduces to (even though it's longer)!
This tool is not to be regarded as the end-all in your effort to ensure your computer is free of SSN/CCN records. It simply will report to you files that contain numbers that could pose a security threat. Remember, it looks for strings of numbers -- and the typical computer has lots of these.
Java 1.6 JRE
No matter what system you're running on, you need the Java 1.6 runtime (or greater); you do not need the whole Java 1.6 SDK, which includes the runtime.
System path
We assume that the Java interpreter is in your environment path (meaning, no matter where we try to run "java" from, it will run). The JRE installer should modify your system path to include the Java interpreter.
If you get a strange error message saying something along the lines of "If you see this, senf did not run!" then chances are your path is not set up correctly. Unfortunately, the solution to this is beyond the scope of this text.
Once the JRE is installed, all you need to do is copy senf.jar and the seeds folder to some folder on the computer that is going to run the scan. You might also want to copy the configuration files to the same folder.
Brief Note
On some Operating Systems (typically Windows and Mac OS X), simply double-clicking on the senf.jar file will launch the program automatically. If this works, you can skip the rest of this section.
Open a command prompt Navigate to the folder in which senf is installed. Run java -jar senf.jar (with optional arguments)
Linux and Mac OS X
Open a command shell Navigate to the folder in which senf is installed. Run java -jar senf.jar (with optional arguments)
Using senf
Usage: senf [OPTIONS]
|quiet mode (display no output)
|verbose mode (display everything)
|print error messages to the screen
|working dir
|Set the path to start scanning from
|Set modified-date check; files last modified before this date are skipped
|Set the max file size to scan; end size (no spaces) with 'g' for gigs, 'm' for megs, 'k' for kilobytes, and nothing for bytes
|Set minimum number of times to match a CCN/SSN pattern before reporting a file
|Set the name of the file (including path, if you like) where log information will be saved
|Append the current log to the end of the file if it already exists
|Append configuration information to the end of the output log
|Do not use a log file
|Hide the GUI
|Auto-start scanning (ignored when -g is specified)
|Display this help and exit
By default, senf only prints to the screen files which are matched -- not all output is shown.
- To search all files in your home directory in Linux/Mac OS X
- java -jar senf.jar -p ~/
- To search all files in your home directory in Windows XP
- java -jar senf.jar -p "C:\Documents and Settings<yourname>"
- To scan only files <= 100MB, ensure that each one has at least 12 matches before marking it as possible, display error messages, and start in a folder called C:\mustard\gruga
- java -jar senf.jar -f 100m -m 12 -e -p "C:\mustard\gruga"
Also, note that this program may take a while to complete; again, by default, the only things it prints to the screen are possible matches (ie no errors), so it may look like it's frozen, not printing anything for a while, but it's (probably) not.
As of the Sasuke.188 release, senf provides a GUI for ease of use. The GUI offers a results viewer to help the user quickly identify what was flagged by senf as being sensitive. Results appear in the central pane of the senf window as they are found; if an entry is clicked on, the senf Analyzer will pop up, showing the applicable matches in the file.
Configuration files
senf uses the file senf.conf to load default settings.
As of the Haku version, senf uses an ACL in place of the old whitelist/blacklist system. The ACL is contained in the file senf.acl, and can be modified either by editing the file, or through the senf GUI.
ACL entries have three columns. The first column denotes whether to allow or deny matches. The second dictates what type of match to look for. The third contains the expression to search for. Possible entries for each row are listed below.
An example "senf.acl" file is included with common entries. In the case of two conflicting entries, the entry listed first will over rule the later entry.
senf relies on the Apache Tika library (https://tika.apache.org/) to parse file types. This library should be placed in the "lib" folder in order for senf to function properly. While use of this library does allow senf to scan many file types, there is a caveat: currently, Tika does make use of temporary files while scanning; under normal circumstances, these are deleted when they are no longer used, but in certain circumstances (e.g. JVM crash) they might not get cleaned up.
How senf Works
The way senf scans has changed drasticly with the release of Haku. There are four important parts to senf Haku. Parsers, Seeds, Streams, and Stream Sources.
A Stream is something that senf can scan, and implements the class senfStream. An example of a "Stream" is a text file.
Stream Sources
A Stream Source is something that contains streams, and implemtnts the class senfStreamSource. An example of a Stream Source is a directory, or a zip file.
A Seed is something that senf will look for in a Stream. Seeds implement the class Seed. As of senf Sasuke.188, Seeds are modular. This means that seeds may be added/removed from the "seeds" directory to modify what senf will or will not search for within a Stream. At the moment, senf includes a Seed for both Social Security Numbers and Credit Card numbers.
Parses are the objects that tell the senf engine what each "object" that is to be scanned should be scanned as. That is, the Parser tells senf what type of Stream or StreamSource each senfObject should be cast as. Parsers implement the class senfParser, and are modular.
senf looks for certain patterns to reduce false positives. Those patterns are described here. These patterns cannot be used to find every conceivable incarnation of the numbers senf searches for. However, if you have suggestions for improving the algorithms (and, better, known false negatives to back up your suggestions) please let us know.
Credit card numbers
There are a number of valid credit card formats. senf supports only the 16 digit formats. This includes Mastercard, some (but evidently not all) VISA, and Discover. It does NOT include, for example, American Express.
Credit cards numbers may be one long string of numbers (nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn), or may be separated into groups of four digits (nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn). There are, of course, as many ways to delimit groups of digits as can be imagined; senf only counts matches that use either no separator, or only one of:
- dash ("-")
- space (" ")
- dot (".")
- pipe ("|")
Luhn check
Credit cards must pass a Luhn mod 10 check to be considered valid.
Social Security Numbers
Formats and separators
Socials are detected in both single string (nnnnnnnnn) and grouped (nnn-nn-nnnn) formats; permitted separators are the same as credit card numbers.
Validity checking
Socials are verified against their area (the first three digits), according to the Social Security Administration's current list of valid high groups. In addition, group and serial numbers may not be all zeroes.

To compile the source code and build a runnable jar file, just run the included build.sh script. Or, to do it manually:
javac -cp lib/tika.jar senf/*.java streams/*.java streamsources/*.java seeds/*.java parsers/*.java
jar cmf manifest senf.jar senf/*.class senf/images/* streams/*.class streamsources/*.class
Seeds are objects which implement the senf.Seed interface. At runtime, senf will load any seeds located in the "seeds" directory and use them when scanning.
Okay, that's all
Thank you for using senf! Feedback and questions are welcome; email firstname.lastname@example.com

For example, some car owners have to wash their cars every weekend. I have to sweep the floor every night. These are the things that can be boring but we can not avoid but have to do it.
Are there are any words that can describe or refer to the above examples?

"Worker's Comp Fraud"
This crime is one that cuts with a double edge sword. It not only hurts the company that employs the person that perpetrates the fraud. It also hurts the consumer. The company has to pay higher premiums for their worker's comp coverage. The company in all probability has to also pay overtime to other employees in order to keep production schedules. Of course the company has little choice but to pass on the extra cost of doing business to the consumer.
The employee claiming the injury, usually does everything in their power not to return to work. Regardless of what work assignments or light duty options the company may offer, the employee remains unreceptive to the idea of returning to the job.
At this point the company needs to retain the services of an investigation firm. The company needs to proceed in this manner in order to bring the situation to some type of closure. If the investigation produces evidence of fraud on the part of the employee, the company will have the option to let the employee resign, to terminate, or to criminally prosecute said employee. Usually when the employee is confronted with the evidence gathered by the investigator, they will elect to resign immediately fearing criminal prosecution.
This decision to prosecute or not to prosecute is solely that of the client. Any information gathered by our investigators will never be disclosed to any third party per the contract agreement between the client and G.M.V.I. .
