It's Not As Good As The Book
- trylon
- 4/20/17
I like every Doris Day movie I've ever seen. She has brought so much joy to all who watch her films. This film, however, is not one of the best she made simply because it bears very little resemblance to Jean Kerr's book, "Please Don't Eat The Daisies," which is a compilation of stories about suburban NYC life in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Jean Kerr, the wife of Broadway drama critic, Walter Kerr, was raising a growing family in Westchester County. A successful playwright herself, Kerr's stories present an hilarious view of life in the suburbs. Kerr's vignettes are brilliantly funny but very difficult to capture on film. This film tries to weave Jean Kerr's vignettes into a single unified story but I've never thought the plot works well nor is it an adequate reflection of the book. There are some humorous scenes and Doris Day is elegant and charming as always, but the plot just doesn't do justice to Miss Day or to Jean Kerr.

Better than I thought it would be. (I was imagining, and dreading, "Pillow Talk In Suburbia.") Isobel Lennart is a good screenwriter and the biggest proof of this is that she invests ALL of her characters with good dialogue, not just the leads. Director Charles Walters keeps the whole thing properly light (with just a few shadings of a more serious movie in some of the scenes with Day and Niven.) If it had concentrated more on what happens to a marriage and a family when one of the spouses moves up in society, and had soft peddled the cute kids and all the "Mr Blandings" stuff, with the horrid house in the country, it would have been a great comedy. Alas, it does not and thus has to settle for "good" status, instead. Solid B. P.S. There are a lot of fine supporting actors in this film, (another sign of a good movie) my favorite being the creepy new tenant of the McKay apartment, (wonderfully played by an actress named Carmen Phillips, who looks like she specialized in Beatniks) who wants to hurry up with the inspection because she does not like to be awake during the day.

Doris Day and David Niven are believable as parents of four boys. I just love Doris Day movies and this is very entertaining.
Charming Family Picture

I like Doris Day very much, but I don't like most 60's films about families and kids. Well, this isn't really like that. It's witty, sophisticated, affectionate. The relationship between man and wife is very warm and sexy. Their relationship with their kids is old fashioned. They adore them of course, but the adults definitely have a life outside the children. The way I remember my parents in fact. The supporting actors are terrific. All together, a great family film with snappy dialog and good humor. (After all, theater criticism is a large part of the plot.) Day & Niven have a good screen rapport. Too bad they didn't work together more.
A Jovial Comedy.

Doris Day, David Niven and Janis Paige star in Charles Walters' frothy screen version of Jean Kerr's best-seller. Niven is a poison-pen theatre drama critic and Doris is his beautiful young wife, who move their hectic family out of New York City to start a new life in the country, but can they adjust to urban life? Lotsa luck. Doris sings the title song along with her Oscar-winning hit song "Que Sera, Sera". A bright movie, but the humor is anything but humorous. Screen veterans, Spring Byington and Patsy Kelly co-star as Doris' mother-in-law and housekeeper. Her kids are somewhat amusing, that is, of course, if you can tolerate their behavior. The movie would later inspire the mid-1960s TV series starring Patricia Crowley. Also starring Richard Haydn, Jack Weston, Charles Herbert, Stanley Livingston, Flip Mark, John Harding, Margaret Lindsay, Benny Rubin, Len Lesser & Irene Tedrow.

When I was a teenage projectionist at the Savoy Theatre in Kingston-Upon-Hull, England, we got a new senior projectionist who, without fully explaining it, used a new filing system for the reels. So,when it came to the changeover, I pulled out the wrong reel, and with that the movie ended 20 minutes sooner than it should have!That said, this is quite a delightful movie, but what movie that Doris Day has starred in isn't delightful!

Please let me share with you an important announcement! As you may know for over 10 years I have been working with a committed group of people to heal sick trees using a technique called fire mimicry, which is based on traditional approaches to land and tree care by indigenous peoples. Thankfully, our efforts have resulted in a rapid and strong recovery of many hundreds of oaks and other trees, as documented here at the Sudden Oak Life website (www.suddenoaklife.org).
Still, there are countless more trees that need our help, requiring more practitioners who are called to heal these trees. Through the years I have been encouraged to establish a training program for new professionals to implement this work over wider areas. Well, that day has come.
I'm pleased to announce the establishment of my course "Sudden Oak Life: The Science and Practice of Forest Restoration" sponsored by Gaia University, beginning March 21, 2018. This course is designed to give folks the knowledge and skills to establish or expand their own practice of tending and healing trees. Details and registration can be found here: http://gaiauniversity.org/sol/
The course consists of both an online portion (March 21 – June 11, 2018) and a 5-day hands-on practicum (Oct. 15 – 19, 2018), which will be held in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains in the Central California coastal ecosystem.
Whether or not you are personally interested in this course I would greatly appreciate your efforts to share this post with your nature-minded friends.
Many Kind Thanks,
Lee Klinger, Big Sur, CA

Global agency issues flood recovery appeal following pallid 2010- 2011 international donations to worst disaster in Pak history
With another extreme monsoon season predicted, government and aid agencies aim for recovery solutions now that reduce future disaster risks
Islamabad, Pakistan– Wednesday, May 30, 2012 — Although millions of people in flood-devastated southern Pakistan are still in dire need a year after massive flooding in 2010 and 2011, the humanitarian community and Pakistani government are working rigorously to help recover lives and livelihoods and to reconstruct the homes of survivors, reports global humanitarian agency Church World Service. But more support is urgently needed, as the country now enters what is predicted to be another heavy monsoon season.
As a result, Church World Service is launching an early recovery appeal in collaboration with the United Nations and Pakistani government, asking the international donor community to dig deeper into their pockets now — for the restoration of family livelihoods, shelter, support for food and nutrition security, basic social, health and medical services, community infrastructure, clean water and sanitation, and to prepare now to mitigate future disasters.
This comes as a U.S. Senate panel voted on Thursday (May 24) to cut aid to Pakistan by an additional $33 million on top of foreign assistance budget cuts the panel had already approved that would eviscerate President Barack Obama's request for assistance to Pakistan by more than half– with threats of further reductions if Pakistan fails to open supply routes to NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Now, with scarce funding from the international community, millions of affected people are still short on basic amenities, shelter and health and medical attention, placing them at serious risk of malnutrition, disease and deepening poverty.
To date, CWS has distributed more than 600 metric tons of food in flood affected areas and has provided mobile health services in four districts.
Yet, while CWS and other members of the aid community have provided survivors with relief items and are assisting in their rehabilitation and recovery, remaining needs exceed the funding received and what aid agencies have so far been able to provide.
As a consequence, affected communities are growing impatient, becoming irate and are becoming increasingly vulnerable to speculative outlets that are not to their benefit or to the community at large, CWS staffers in Pakistan report.
In some cases support for recovery and rehabilitation seems to be coming to an abrupt end.
"Meticulous attention is needed for the recuperation of women, children, the elderly and disabled who are particularly susceptible to health and sanitations problems. But such recovery assistance requires consistent support from the government and aid organizations," says CWS Asia Pacific Regional Coordinator Marvin Parvez, who heads CWS's Pakistan/Afghanistan program.
With Pakistan's long summer on its way, fears are rising of disease outbreaks, and another predicted extreme monsoon season that portends more flooding.
"We must prepare now for the possible urgent need for fully-equipped ambulances, mobile hospitals, vital food, water, sanitation and shelter if the country is to avert a greater humanitarian catastrophe on top of those of the past two years," Parvez said.
Raising funds now, preparing for disaster before it strikes again
Government officials said an early recovery appeal aims to support communities by developing solutions that reduce the devastating impact of the 2011 floods and help communities quickly return to their normal life patterns while adopting measures for safer and more resilient living with better preparation to meet the event of future disaster.
They added that the global community needs to put more resources into aid projects and must not hesitate to contribute in rebuilding the lives of Pakistani disaster survivors, as it is for the greater good of humanity.
In January and February, CWS's disaster-risk-reduction team and mobile knowledge resource center "reached the unreachable," traveling to remote villages and schools in Thatta District, Sindh, to share first aid training and knowledge, simulation models and techniques showing how to stay safe during a disaster using locally available materials as basic as bamboo and leaves.
"We as a humanitarian agency feel compelled to call on all actors involved in this response to encourage all avenues of much needed additional support," said CWS's Parvez.

Why Are Experts Calling the Housing Market Bipolar?
Greetings neighbors,
Wondering how the real estate market is looking these days after the expiration of the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit? According to recent articles, the market is actually being called bipolar. Many experts feel today's market is being pulled in different directions and are unable to predict which way it will end up.
With that being said, there have been implications of an improving market with the rise of sales and prices. However, there has also been a significant increase in the rise of interest rates and home repossessions. In addition, the market is also facing millions of foreclosures that need to be sold but have not been listed. This shadow inventory could potentially cause a rift in a recovering market if they hit the market all at once.
Taking these points into consideration, many experts are predicting somewhat of a negative impact for the short term but a positive impact by the end of this year.

I joined a Scrabble group in the senior community where I am living and I thought I was in trouble when the first person to sit at my table said, "I haven't played this game in 40 years!" But Scrabble is fun, no matter the level of play, and remains my favorite game. It was the ingenious creation of an out-of-work architect named Alfred Mosher Butts (1899-1993) during the Depression. He surveyed the popular pastimes of the day and decided to create a board game of both skill and chance that combined anagrams and crossword puzzles. He analyzed the front page of the New York Times to perfect the frequency of the letters on the tiles - limiting the S so that making plurals would not be too easy.
Butts sold the rights to James Brunot, who trademarked the game and changed the name from "Criss Cross Words" to "Scrabble." He and his wife converted an abandoned Connecticut schoolhouse into a Scrabble factory, making 2,400 sets - and losing $450 - in 1949. But by 1952, the Brunos could no longer keep up with the demand and licensed the game to Selchow & Righter. Hasbro now owns the trademark in the U.S. and Canada (and also now owns Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley, who had declined to purchase the rights back in the 1940s), and a subsidiary of Mattel owns it in the rest of the world. Today Scrabble sells at a rate of 1-2 million sets per year in North America, and a total of more than 150 million games have been sold worldwide. It can be found in 1 of every 3 American homes and is available in French, Spanish, travel, deluxe turntable, and junior editions. (I got a new Diamond Edition Scrabble for Christmas!)
There are Scrabble clubs and tournaments that are sanctioned by a national association. The National Scrabble championship is held annually in the U.S. and the World Championship is a biennial event. A look inside the world of competitive Scrabble by Stefan Fatsis makes for interesting reading, and for your listening pleasure, an interview on NPR, which also features a short video of the inventor. As for Alfred Butts, he earned royalties of about 3¢ per game for many years. "One-third went to taxes," he said. "I gave one-third away, and the other third enabled me to have an enjoyable life." He lived to the age of 93 and is buried in Stanfordville, New York. His New York Times obituary reads in part, "Mrs. Butts was better at the game than her inventor spouse. Once she scored 234 for 'quixotic.' He admitted that she 'beat me at my own game,' literally."

A scheme to build a database of GCC businesswomen is being discussed by the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) today (Saturday).
The Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) is considering building a database of GCC businesswomen in an effort to encourage women to establish businesses in the region.
The matter is to be discussed at a meeting of the BCCI's women's committee today (Saturday) chaired by Mona Yousif Al Moayyed.
"The members of BCCI businesswomen committee will discuss the possibilities of establishing an electronic database under the umbrella of the GCC Chamber of Commerce and Industry," a statement issued by the BCCI said.
The idea was first mooted at the first GCC Businesswomen's Forum, held in Muscat last year.
The statement added that the meeting would also discuss the possibility of establishing a specialised committee to cater for the needs of the businesswomen across the region.
The meeting will underline the BCCI's commitment to providing assistance to women for establishing small-and-medium sized businesses. The issue of establishing specialised training centres for GCC women and offering economic assistance to them for various projects is also on the agenda.

Being dead doesn't have to mean you're done. Whatever you believe, ghosts are a possibility. People make whole careers out of chasing 'em down. And you can't deny, real or nah, what the protagonist in Sarah Carroll"s 'The Girl In Between' sees and talks to.
And sometimes those cryptic creepers are actually better than their living counterparts. For many reasons. Haters gonna hate, but here's 14 times ghosts were pretty transcendent:
1. Yeah! Hi-five, man! Who says being dead as heck means you gotta be grumpy about it?
2. Evan Peters. The ultimate dead guy. Recently in American Horror Story Hotel:
With his classic Gatsby-style swoon.
3. Plus he nailed the tortured teen ghost aesthetic in AHS Murder House:
Oh, Evan. *sigh* *hearteyes*
QUIZ: Which famous ghost is actually haunting you?
Quiz: What type of ghost would you be?
4. This sassy apparition deserves a dang medal:
5. Being a ghost means literally giving zeros effs. It's all the sass all the time.
6. And you can strike fear into the hearts of many, regardless of whether you're even real or nah:
7. Minimal effort required. Awesome.
8. This ghost is making the most of his (or her) afterlife:
9. While this one is not interested in your need for personal space:
10. Homewreckers. Of the emotional kind too.
11. Free pastries.
…and you know that ain't gonna hurt their "low carb" diet because HELLO? Dead.
13. Making headlines like this:
14. And really, just making the MOST out of being stuck in limbo.
Might as well do it in style, right?
Which is your fave? Tell us in the comments!

Self-made businessman Donald Trump has won the heart of the American people by espousing a policy of values, morality and conservatism. Americans are ready to be great again and the Reaganesque words of Trump harken back to a time when America meant traditional nuclear family, jobs, oil and anti-communism. Instead of letting democracy decide the next election, Obama has gathered his immoral scientists together to craft a virus whose intent is even more duplicitous than the Ebola virus Obama unleashed on Texas during Jade Helm last year.
[adinserter block="6″]The Rise of the Brainwashing Zika Virus
Unknown to many people, the Zika virus experiments originated in small village outside Rio de Janerio. "Zika" is actually the pidgin word for "Obama", the locals naming a disease afflicting their villages after a visit by Obama in 2011.
When locals say Zika Virus, they are literally saying "Obama Virus". While the world was distracted with the Royal Wedding, Obama quietly started the Zika experiments in Brazil and picked on small villages, where locals had little access to technology and trouble warning the rest of humanity what Obama had in store.
There are countless reports of Obama capturing villagers at night and injecting them with the virus. The results started to become clear: the virus allowed the victims to be easily mind controlled.
Since it is too hard to conceal the capture of US citizens on a massive scale, Obama funded a secret billion dollar program to infect mosquitoes with the Zika virus, so when they fly around at summer barbeques — which all Republicans will attend in July — they can bite person after person, infecting them with a mind-altering virus. Obama and Hillary will then take to the airwaves, planting messages in the minds of the malleable Zika infected public, who will quickly switch alliance from Trump to Hillary. They will have no choice.

Change.Org Hits 150 Million Users as Australian MPS Clamber To Respond
Change.org, the world's largest petition platform, has hit a landmark 150 million global users across twenty countries.
It comes at a time when Change.org Australia is about to hit 4 million users, meaning more than one in six Australians have signed or started a Change.org petition. In Australia, one petition wins a victory every 24 hours and globally, one wins every hour.
Karen Skinner, Head of Change.org Australia, said: "These milestones are important because signatures actually change things. It's said people are turned off by politics because they're apathetic towards politicians, cynical towards the system and disillusioned altogether. These figures show that people just want to use technology to do democracy and politics in a new, exciting, healthier way. They're seeing it really can work, too."
In the last year, Australian petition starters have decriminalised medicinal cannabis, capped credit card surcharges and introduced domestic violence prevention lessons in schools.
Since the election was called, senior politicians have been responding to petitions online. The Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce agreed to an ask by schoolgirl and farmer's daughter Chloe Scott, 16, to review the milk pricing system and offer a relief package. Assistant Treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer responded to a petition against the backpacker tax. The Leader of the Opposition in the Senate committed to save a youth psychosis centre following a petition, and Health Minister Sussan Ley responded on several petitions, including agreeing to an ask to subsidise life-changing diabetes devices.
Karen Skinner said: "Three years ago, politicians seemed tentative about online petitions. It seems in 2016, they've finally realised that technology is disrupting the system they work in – and they can no longer ignore it."

Ukraine is caught up in its worst crisis in decades. Political upheaval in Kyiv and Russia's actions in Crimea have split society, especially in Ukraine's east, where the rift goes right through families and friendships.
Andrei and Mykola preferred not to give their real names. "Who knows what lies ahead," they said. The two men, both in their late 30s, have known each other for 25 years. They've been close friends since their student days in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk. Andrei has Russian roots, Mykola is Ukrainian. Up until now, that barely played a role in their lives. Russian is their native language, which is true for most of the 225,000 inhabitants of the city on the banks of the Dnieper River, which divides Ukraine in two.
Andrei is a civil engineer, his friend Mykola works as a train driver. Both men have families, and have a greater interest in fishing than in politics. But the conflict in Ukraine has put their friendship to the test.
In early March, they got together for a beer and talked for hours. "Afterwards, I lay awake half the night," Andrei said. The two old friends no longer got along.
Friends with opposing opinions
The West controlled the opposition movement in Kyiv, Andrei said, adding that he is wary of far-right groups such as the Right Sector collective that played a major role in the clashes with police forces. Fascists, Andrei called them.
Andrei sees Russia's de facto invasion of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula as an attempt by Russian President Vladimir Putin to protect the base of Russia's Black Sea fleet. In case of a war with Russia, Andrei would not want to fight, but he conceded he might be enlisted by the government in Kyiv.
Mykola said he thinks his friend is a victim of Russian TV propaganda. "There was no fascist coup in Ukraine," Mykola said. The change of power in Kyiv is the result of a "social revolution that all levels of society participated in," Mykola added.
The events in Crimea have turned Russia into an aggressor, he said. "Putin is taking revenge on Ukraine for the fact that we don't want to live under his command and for toppling President Viktor Yanukovich," Mykola said, adding that he has volunteered with the Ukrainian army. "I served as a commander in a special antitank defense Navy unit, and if I'm needed, I'll go to war,"
Andrei said it saddens him to hear his friend speak like that.
Rift in society widens
Sociologists say such stories are a prime example for the split in Ukrainian society. The rift has always existed, but it is growing wider, according to Liudmyla Shanghina of the Kyiv-based Razumkov Center. The east and the south of the country, where many Ukrainians have a Russian background, are especially affected.
The change of power in Kyiv - overshadowed by violence - and the presence of Russian troops in Crimea have an impact on society, Shanghina said. "Some people, disappointed in Russia's actions, opt for Europe and against Moscow, while others irrevocably have their sights on reintegration with Russia," the NGO's director of social programs said, adding that no one knows where the split could lead.
There is no doubt Russia is waging a war of information against Ukraine via TV, Shanghina said. "We Ukrainians underestimated this war, so we lost," she said, adding that many Ukrainians in the east fear Ukrainians in the west - the driving force behind the opposition movement on Kyiv's Maidan protests.
Russian TV broadcasts, widely received in eastern Ukraine, brand western Ukrainians as nationalists, Nazis and fascists. Such fear of right-wing populism is exaggerated, Shanghina said but added that it cannot be ignored.
Emotional state
Andrei and Mykola left their discussion frustrated and disappointed: their arguments fell on deaf ears. It's a typical reaction for a crisis situation where people are dominated by their emotions, Shanghina said. For months, Ukrainians have been caught up in an emotional state of emergency, she said, "without a break to come to terms with the situation."
Andrei said he feels he is caught in the middle. The Ukrainian engineer experiences the split in his friendship with Mykola, and even within his own family. "I've thought about emigrating to Russia," Andrei said, but his wife, who is from western Ukraine, is opposed.
These days, Andrei avoids talking politics with his wife.
The European Union could impose more sanctions on Russia in the very near future. Critics warn, however, that should the finance and energy sectors be affected, both sides will feel the consequences. (14.03.2014)
Electricity, water, gas, food: Crimea is supplied mainly via the Ukrainian mainland. That could change - for the worse - following the peninsula's disputed referendum this Sunday on joining Russia. (14.03.2014)
German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned Russia of international isolation resulting from the Crimea crisis and threatened further sanctions. But the West is also to blame for the conflict, writes DW's Bettina Marx. (13.03.2014)

Some good sites for exploits/vulnerabilities off the top of my head: www.securityfocus.com (be sure to subscribe to Bugtraq if you haven't already) www.antionline.com www.rootshell.org www.insecure.org (nmap site, has an exploit page somewhere) Also, make sure most/none of the machine's services are/is running as root if you can help it. I dunno what UID RealServer needs to run as, but hopefully it doesn't require root privileges. It's definitely a good idea to keep up on your Debian packages. If you are running "stable" ("slink") you should periodically check the home page or security page for changes. If you are running sendmail and/or BIND on that machine, be aware that there are _much_ more secure replacements: qmail and DNScache. (Though I'm not sure if there's a Debian package for DNScache, it's easy to install from source.) HTH. -- Jim B. firstname.lastname@example.com

The news comes on the day United confirmed they have surpassed Barcelona's £125 million world record shirt sponsorship deal with the Qatar Foundation by striking a seven-year agreement with Chevrolet believed to be worth in the region of £200 million.
An announcement of the share sale was made last night and confirms an intention to raise around $300 million (£191 million).
However, there does appear to have been a significant shift in how the proceeds will be used.
Previously, it was suggested the entire sum would be used to pay off United's massive debt, which currently stands at over £400 million.
However, the prospectus released to accompany Monday night's announcement indicates only half the money will be used in that way, with the rest going directly to the family.
If that proves to be the case it will provoke fury among the United support, who have already seen vast amounts of cash disappear in various charges following the Glazer family takeover in 2005.
United, whose current £20 million-a-year shirt deal with the American insurance giant Aon still has two seasons to run, had earlier announced they will begin their partnership with Chevrolet, who signed a lower-level partnership deal with United just six weeks ago, in the 2014-15 campaign.
The agreement with US car manufacturer General Motors, owners of Chevrolet, could have been significant in terms of raising awareness of the club, and confidence in their financial situation, ahead of the flotation.
United's agreement takes the club to the top of the shirt-deal table ahead of Barcelona and Bayern Munich, whose agreement with Deutsche Telekom is worth an annual £23 million.
Exact figures have not been disclosed by United or Chevrolet, but it is understood the deal is worth in the region of £28 million a year and that it was accelerated by General Motors following the impact of United's visit to China last week for the Chevrolet Cup match against Shanghai Shenhua in Shanghai.
Aon, who paid almost half of the £80 million sponsorship fee to United in the first year of their agreement, did not table a rival offer to Chevrolet to extend their deal, but they are to continue their association with United through the club's charitable foundation.
United commercial director Richard Arnold said: "This is a fantastic, long-term deal for the club."

Mr Tire Service Tech Question On Your Transmission
Mr Tire Service Tech Question:
My name is Suzanne. We were taking a camping trip at our favorite MN state park over a three day weekend. About half way to our campsite, the transmission went out on our family car. It took all weekend to get towed out and get back home.
What can I do to prevent transmission problems in the future?
Mr Tire Service Answer:
Transmission repairs can be expensive at Minneapolis auto service centers. On top of that poor Suzanne was in the MN back country. Her vacation weekend turned into three days of car repairs.
Look, family car transmissions are tough and durable. All you have to do to maintain them is replace the fluid on schedule. The fluid gets contaminated with bits of clutch plates and metal. Dirty transmission fluid under pressure acts like liquid sandpaper, eating away at important gaskets and seals. Then your transmission doesn't shift as well. It can start to leak and overheat. And then you could end up like Suzanne.
Another thing: if you carry heavy loads or tow a trailer on Minneapolis highways, your transmission is working much harder and running hotter than under normal conditions. Your transmission fluid may need to be changed sooner. Check your family car owner's manual for your severe service schedule or talk with your cheerful Mr Tire Service tech about when you should have your transmission serviced.
Minneapolis motorists who do a lot of towing may want to consider adding an external transmission cooler to reduce transmission operating temperatures and extend its life.

DETROIT — The Sunday service at Greater Grace Temple began with the Clark Sisters song "I'm Looking for a Miracle" and included a reading of this verse from the Book of Romans: "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."
Pentecostal Bishop Charles H. Ellis III, who shared the sanctuary's wide altar with three gleaming sport utility vehicles, closed his sermon by leading the choir and congregants in a boisterous rendition of the gospel singer Myrna Summers's "We're Gonna Make It" as hundreds of worshipers who work in the automotive industry — union assemblers, executives, car salesmen — gathered six deep around the altar to have their foreheads anointed with consecrated oil.
While Congress debated aid to the foundering Detroit automakers Sunday, many here whose future hinges on the decision turned to prayer.
Outside the Corpus Christi Catholic Church, a sign beckoned passers-by inside to hear about "God's bailout plan." Roman Catholic churches in the Detroit area distributed a four-page letter from Cardinal Adam Maida, the archbishop, offering "some pastoral insights and suggestions about how we might prepare to celebrate Christmas this year when economic conditions are so grim."
In the letter, Cardinal Maida acknowledged that "things in Michigan will probably never be the same" but encourages the region's 1.3 million Catholics to maintain their faith. "At this darkest time of the year, we proclaim that Christ is our light and Christ is our hope," he wrote.Continue reading the main story
Last week Cardinal Maida gathered 11 Detroit-area religious leaders, representing Christian, Jewish and Muslim congregations, to call on Congress to approve the $34 billion in government-backed loans that the automakers have requested.
At Greater Grace Temple, an 8,000-member Pentecostal church in northwest Detroit, the Sunday service was dedicated to addressing the uncertainty facing workers whose livelihood depends on the well-being of General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler.
"We have never seen as midnight an hour as we face this coming week," Bishop Ellis said, referring to the possibility that Congress would soon vote on a deal to give the carmakers enough money to stay afloat into next year.
"I don't know what's going to happen, but we need prayer," he said. "When it's all said and done, we're all in this thing together."
Greater Grace, the largest church in Detroit, invited officials from the United Automobile Workers union to speak before Bishop Ellis gave his sermon, titled "A Hybrid Hope."
The S.U.V.'s on the stage, a Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Escape and Chrysler Aspen on loan from local dealerships, were all gas-electric hybrids, and Bishop Ellis urged worshipers to combat the region's woes by mixing hope with faith in God.
"We have done all that we can do in this union, so I turn it over to the Lord," General Holiefield, a U.A.W. vice president for Chrysler, told the crowd. A vice president for the parts suppliers, James Settles Jr., asked those present "to continue your prayers, so we can see a miracle next week."
Bishop Ellis encouraged the congregation to pray, not that Congress would "do the right thing" and approve loaning money to the car companies, but that Detroiters would "make it" through these tough times.
"We've got to keep the faith," said Mike Young, 47, who works for the Dana Corporation, a parts supplier, and has spent more than three months of this year on furlough. His factory, in the suburb of Auburn Hills, builds drive shafts for Chrysler, which has said it would soon run out of money without billions of dollars in aid from Congress. "But you can't count on that," Mr. Young said. "All my hope is in God."Continue reading the main story

COP17 in Durban presents a big opportunity to resolve several critical pieces of the Cancun Adaptation Framework, to integrate and streamline the many strands of adaptation negotiations, and to move forward on helping countries around the world adapt. Expectations of significant progress on adaptation are high – especially since Durban is an "African COP," taking place on a continent where vulnerability to climate change is palpable and affects so many people's future. But the Durban adaptation agenda is long, and negotiation time limited, so Parties have no time to waste. Key issues are summarized here: Read more Making effective decisions in a changing climateby Manish Bapna and Kelly Levin - November 02, 2011 A third of Thailand is under water. Epic floods have taken people's lives, destroyed businesses and crops, and are now sweeping into Bangkok. As the capital braces itself, some people are beginning to point fingers at various culprits: the unusually heavy rains possibly linked to climate change, ineffective communications within government, and poor infrastructure decisions. Read more Seven Billion: The Real Population Scare is Not What You Thinkby Manish Bapna - October 26, 2011 If you believe the doomsday merchants, the scariest thing about this Halloween is the fact that the world's population will pass seven billion on or near October 31. Read more World Resources Report: Decision Making in a Changing Climateby Manish Bapna - October 18, 2011 Conditions are changing in our world. Some are feeling the impact now, from the heat wave and wildfires in Russia of the last two years, the devastating floods in Pakistan and Australia, tornadoes in the United States, mudslides in Brazil, drought in China. Others are worrying about the impacts to come: the tea growers in Kenya's highlands who are seeing cases of malaria they didn't see only five years ago; the cocoa farmers in Ghana who think about how changes in rainfall will affect their sensitive crops; the rice farmers in Vietnam who are increasingly concerned about rising water levels. Read more A New Approach to Feeding the Worldby Janet Ranganathan and Craig Hanson - September 23, 2011 Can the current food production system feed a growing population in a changing climate while sustaining ecosystems? The answer is an emphatic "no." A new approach is imperative and overdue, one in which the world feeds more people—an estimated 9 billion by 2050—with less ecological impact. To be successful, this new approach must address both how we produce and how we use food. Read more Learning Lessons from Wildfires, from Texas to Brazilby Kelly Levin - September 15, 2011 This statement from the director of the Texas Forest Service makes it clear that the recent wildfires that scorched Texas belong in a new category of disaster. Already, the state's wildfires this season have consumed 3.6 million acres (an area the size of Connecticut), swallowed over 1,500 homes, and killed at least four people. According to NOAA, the current wildfire is costing more than $1 million per day and exceeds $5 billion in overall damages across the Southwest. These are costs that will be borne by government, business and residents, alike.

From yesterday's open at $199.56 the price of Ethereum has declined by 14% as its currently trading at $171.85 as the total crypto market falls to $187B.
As you can see from the hourly chart the RSI is showing oversold conditions which is why In today's analysis, we are going to see how further will the price potentially drop before this last down move is done.
Looking at the ETH/USD daily chart we can see that the price has fallen below the inside pitchfork support line 2 and the 0 Fibonacci retracement level which served as support but as you can see a consolidative cluster inside off of the triangle formed which is known as a bearish pennant and is a considered as a trend continuation pattern.
Relative Strenght Index indicator is near its lowest levels around 18.5% trending downwards. As you can see I have labeled this as a WXY correction and I believe that the wave Y would end on the next horizontal support level at $153.43 but if it doesn't hold the next support level I see strong enough to hold the momentum behind the down move is at $111.19 where the pitchfork support line 3 intersects the horizontal support level.
Zooming into the 4-hour chart I have counted the sub waves in order to determine the context of this last corrective structure.
As you can see the primary wave W consists of a WXYWZ, wave X of the same type of a correction but in the opposite direction and now we are seeing the last wave Y has three consecutive WXY of a minor degree that constitutes an intermediate WXY correction.
In order to validate my target levels, I am going to zoom into the hourly chart. I've measured the length of the wave W and projected it from the wave X in order to project the first target. As you can see in that way the second horizontal support level should be the ending point of the wave Y. Another way that I have used is the Fibonacci retracement tool. I have adjusted the X wave to being at the 0.5 Fibonacci level and in that way the 0 Fibonacci level finds itself on the first horizontal support level at $153.43.
Looking at the ETH/BTC daily chart we can see that the price has broken out off of the triangle's support as is heading downwards steeply. Currently, the price found support on the 0 Fibonacci retracement level but judging by the momentum the level isn't going to hold for much longer.
As you can see the projected wave W length indicates that the 0 Fibonacci level is the ending of the wave Y. but if we include the wick then the projected target is much lower at around 0.016461 Satoshi.
Having in mind what was seen on the ETH/USD chart I believe that the price of Ethereum has only downside potential in the upcoming period, and as nothing looks or gives off a bullish indication my default expectation is the lowest targets possible.

The Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville is the likely next objective for Aljamaaheer, with connections believing a change of tactics "backfired" in last weekend's Darley July Cup at Newmarket.
The Roger Varian-trained five-year-old, who has reverted to sprinting this season having shown top-class form over a mile in previous years, ran an excellent race in defeat when third behind Slade Power in the Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot.
However, having been ridden more forcefully by Paul Hanagan in Saturday's Group One feature, he finished well-beaten by the same rival on the July Course.
Angus Gold, racing manager for owner Hamdan Al Maktoum, said: "We tried to ride him a bit differently and I think it backfired. Paul tried to ride him a bit closer to the pace to try to use his stamina and it didn't really work out as the horse probably prefers being allowed to do his own thing.
"We'll probably revert back to the old tactics next time. There aren't that many options for him and the obvious one looks to be the Prix Maurice de Gheest.
"Anything between six and seven furlongs is fine and six and a half furlongs at Deauville would seem a good place to go."
Another Hamdan runner set to go down the sprinting route is Ertijaal.
After winning a valuable race on Lingfield's hugely popular Good Friday card in April, the three-year-old took his chance in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, but finished down the field.
Making his first appearance since in Saturday's seven-furlong Bunbury Cup, Ertijaal cut out much of the running before weakening late on to finish fifth.
Gold said: "He was a bit too keen early on, which didn't help, but he stayed going quite well and it wasn't a bad run. I think we're going to come back to six furlongs with him."

First, why I don't think this sucks: Try as I might, I can't hold anything against Syracuse or Pitt for their decision to abandon the Big East and bounce on to the greener pastures of the ACC, which is emerging as probably the most surprising of the impending superconferences. Yes, I was at Pitt in 2003 when Miami, VaTech and Boston College all bailed on the Big East, and yes, we were all upset (though at some more than others. I actually thought the move was right for VT and Miami, but was dubious for the ACC and made no sense for BC). I don't think it makes Pitt hypocritical to do this nearly a decade later, when the landscape is so different.
|At least we made the ACC landing page
It is worth remembering for a moment why the Big East even exists. It was because of one man, Providence Athletic Director and basketball coach Dave Gavitt. In 1981, Gavitt had some friends at a nascent cable network called ESPN, and they were showing Aussie Rules Football alarmingly often. He gathered some other ADs together with the expressed purpose of playing basketball on Tuesday nights to give his friends some programming. I do not know if he could have imagined what would happen to college athletics, that network, or the relationship between the two, but he was a very forward-thinking man, so it's not impossible. He believed that young men playing basketball was a potential draw for cable viewers, and he wanted the Big East to be an important part of intercollegiate athletics. For about 30 years, he was more right than anyone would have guessed.
It is sad, then, but maybe a little bit appropriate, that Dave Gavitt died this weekend at 73.
I never got to speak to him (he refused interview requests during the 2003 shakeup, and I had stopped working at The Pitt News by the time he was inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2006), but in my many conversations with experts, coaches, ADs and everyone else, no one's name came up more than his. I always got the sense from those talks that, as pragmatic as his decisions were, he harbored an understandable love for the conference he formed.
If college sports shake out the way the commentators are predicting, than this weekend will also be looked back on as the one where the Big East died, since Syracuse (a founding member) and Pitt (which joined in the second year and has remained one of the dominant programs) both announced departure. I feel bad for the Big East, since it's not their fault that the big money sport is football, and Gavitt was a basketball coach. They just backed the wrong horse. But it's also not the end of, say, the SEC, which was founded in 1932. In the scheme of history, even an important 30 years just isn't that long.
|Yes, I took this from Bigeast.org
As I said, I hope there is a massive shift in the way college sports work. I hope for four "superconferences" that can wield enough clout to secede from the NCAA and begin honestly calling college sports what they are: An insanely profitable system of entertainment that usually involves exploiting young athletes with no other career options. It's the only way we'll ever get a playoff system in football or start treating athletes like people. Neither are assured, of course, but without realignment meaningful progress appears to be inevitable, so I'm in favor.
And make no mistake, it is a good decision for the schools leaving. Aside from money (ha!), the ACC is a tough but winnable conference, devoid of the buzzsaw of the SEC or the topheaviness of the Big Whatever. The ACC may be the logical landing spot for Texas, and the future there seems bright.
Honestly, even the fact that my true love is college basketball (an increasingly irrelevant sidekick to football) is not what has me down about this march of progress. What I dislike about seeing Pitt and Syracuse leave (other than the loss of meaningful rivalries with UConn and WV and the like) is that I hate the way we are building yet another flawed system.
Some will say that this every-school-for-itself mentality is a "free market" solution, and so is ipso facto the best. But we've seen what happens when we rely on individuals to create alliances. They end up fleeting and fractious, with a constant shortsightedness keeping reason from ever taking meaningful hold. In short, I do not believe you build a lasting system from a decentralized scramble for cash today.
The phrase most often used these days about the NCAA is "the system is broken." There is now tons of evidence to suggest that that is, in fact, the case. And so what sucks the most about the Pitt/Syracuse decision is that it is just one more reminder of how inept the NCAA is.
Rather than seeing the depths of its dysfunction and modernizing to meet the needs of the new college football order, the NCAA dug in its heels and decided to hold on as hard as it could to obsolescence. For that sin ("free market" solutions are always brought on by failures to meed demand), we will not get the planned, thought-out system of college athletics that we want and that athletes deserve. We'll get NCAA 2.0: The wealthier, greedier puppet government.
In time, it may be a good thing (perhaps more schools will revert from an ill-advised, aspiring professionalism to the good, entertaining amateurism we see in Division II and III and the so-called mid-majors), but for the immediate future, it seems we can expect more schools to perform acts of undignified evasion, each trying to have a seat when the music stops. It will be embarrassing and unseemly, but it is a growth industry in a recession and so it's worth whatever psychological cost we might pay. No one wants to see his alma mater running away from failure like a scared freshman quarterback behind a porous o-line, but the board of trustees all have health insurance, and as Pitt fans we're at least a little bit used to dealing with it these days. We've steeled ourselves for humiliation before, and we'll do it again. We lived through Walt and Wanny and the reanimated corpse of Johnny Majors; what's a little unadulterated greed when you haven't won a championship since 1976?

After what has felt like years and years without Caroline Forbes (Candice King) on our screens, everyone's favorite vampire barbie returned at the end of this Friday's (April 22) episode, "Somebody That I Used To Know."
While Candice Accola has been away on maternity leave, Caroline has still been a big part of "The Vampire Diaries" narrative, as it's become more and more clear that Stefan (Paul Wesley) is in no way, shape or form over his ex-girlfriend.
A fact that complicates matters with Caroline's current fiancee, Alaric (Matt Davis).
RELATED: Ian Somerhalder retracts comments about 'The Vampire Diaries' ending
Tension escalates between Stefan and Alaric, as they try to help Bonnie (Kat Graham) and ignore the elephant in the room that is their shared love of Caroline. In the end, punches are thrown and harsh truths are exchanged.
It's pretty obvious that Caroline is not in love with Alaric — they don't even sleep in the same bed, guys — but she's also made it pretty clear that her feelings for Stefan right now mostly consist of rage, betrayal and contempt thanks to the fact that he broke her heart three years ago by leaving with Valerie (Elizabeth Blackmore).
After watching these boys bicker over her and what she should or should not want all episode, the question has to be raised: Should Caroline just dump both these losers and go enjoy the single life?
Thinking back on it, it's been a long time since Caroline has lived in a world free of romantic entanglements.
RELATED: Bye-bye Bonnie: Kat Graham announces 'Vampire Diaries' exit
She's certainly been single a few times over the years, but ever since Season 1, there's always been a guy waiting in the wings to sweep her off her feet. Caroline can't help it that men happen to fall at her feet — and Candice King certainly can't help it that she has chemistry with everyone she meets — but maybe it's time to ditch the romance and do a little soul searching?
After all, faking a book club so you can go cry alone in your car every night over a guy is not exactly the sign of a girl who's emotionally ready for a relationship.
"The Vampire Diaries" airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

Sexual boundaries (Yes, Assange related)
The issues involving Assange certainly bring up some tough questions...questions that we need to ask ourselves.
The central sticking point in that case seems to be 2 issues.
1) The alleged penetration while she was asleep and
2) The penetration without a condom
These issues are at once both unrelated and related --quite hard to unravel.
It should first be understood that she admits she woke up after he had entered her and they had spoken during the act where it was made clear that he a) wasn't wearing a condom and b) did not have venereal disease. The woman than continued with the sex because, as she said, she felt that she had already complaiined about the condom issue too much the night before when they had had sex.
Here are a couple of questions that occur to me:
-If he had penetrated her with a condom, while she was asleep, would anyone still call it rape considering that she continued with the act?
-If he had woken her first and then put pressure on her to have sex without a condom, would it have been rape?
In other words, was it the "entering" while she was asleep or was it the condom? It cannot really be both, I think.
Now, back to OUR experiences relating to this. I am sure many of us have woken wives or girlfriends with our ummm, advances while they were asleep. It is extremely difficult to enter a woman while she is asleep though unless certain, ummm, prior conditions are in place shall we say. But I think most of us have the experience of waking our partners with some degree of sexual moves whether it is touching with the hands or other parts.
Now, here are a couple more questions. It is claimed by some who support the claim of rape, that consent must be given every single time. Even if they had had sex the night before, it means nothing. But, by this logic, would it not also be sexual assault if you touched the breasts or buttocks of a person you are sleeping with without first getting special permission for that too?
Tough questions and I expect some will attack me for them. But I think tough questions need to be talked about. There are no simple answers here.

2. Do we need to ask ourselves?
I have mixed feelings about this because the behavior alleged by the women is douchebaggery that I wouldn't consider appropriate, ever.
a) This is an allegation from two witnesses who were encouraged to coordinate their stories by those that want to politically imprison him.
b) Does the allegation describe a criminal act? I'm not going to offer an opinion one way or another on that because I am not a lawyer, but I will say that this allegation muddies the concept of consent. I think we can agree that one can't withdraw consent retroactively.
c) Assange hasn't given his side of the story, but the situation is such that he cannot without being Gitmo'ed.

3. Issues of consent will always be difficult
... because everyone has a different definition of what constitutes "consent." And, for that matter, how long "consent" lasts. I think it would be rather hard to derive any consensus on this issue, because it is something that has to be worked out between the individuals involved.
Having said that, I think it is quite common for both men and women, whether over-nighters or in longer-lasting sexual relationships, to "assault" their partners occasionally by beginning sexual relations while the other is asleep. It certainly never bothered me when it happened to me. But if we argue that "it isn't rape if she's sleeping," (which is a gross distortion of this principle), then we can be said to argue that it is all right to initiate sexual activity with a sleeping woman even if prior consent has never been given, which is absurd. It appears common sense flies out the window when this discussion is raised.
More to the point, I think, is the issue of the condom: if it has already been established between the partners that a condom is required whether or not it is "necessary," then it is clearly a violation to proceed without one. It goes beyond discourtesy, I would suggest. The fact that the woman gave "consent" when the act was already underway does fuzz the distinction, somewhat -- but it often happens that a woman undergoing assault will "give in" because of any number of psychological factors that really do not add up to true "consent." But whether or not this constitutes a criminal activity I find difficult to assess -- my instinct is that he should give some satisfaction to the woman involved, but that it isn't a matter in which the State need be involved.

4. It was not clear at all that the condom was required before the incident.
The condom negotiation occurred during the incident. The condom was then it seems used, but during sex it may or may not have broken, the woman claims it was deliberately broken.
Neither case seems to rise to the level of rape, in my opinion, but Swedish laws are very different from ours. That said, Assange seems a bit creepy, although we haven't heard his side of the story, only the bits put out by the swedish prosecutor. The obvious fact that this case is being used, whatever its merits, in a maneuver to get Assange into a situation where he can be taken by our government, makes this whole affair disturbing. And to the deniers about what is going on here, why exactly is our government taking any interest in this case at all?

5. From my perspective
But, by this logic, would it not also be sexual assault if you touched the breasts or buttocks of a person you are sleeping with without first getting special permission for that too?
Yes. It is.
The way to deal with this boundary question in real life is to have the conversation first. When you're NOT in bed.
"Is it OK to touch you sexually while you are sleeping?"
You can get a blanket yes or blanket no to that question pretty quickly. You might need to get more specific about what is and what is not OK touch.
If two people are in a relationship, it can be pre-negotiated that "sleep sex" or sexual touch while sleeping is a OK and is a normal and enjoyable part of that relationship.
If no such permission exists, it is sexual assault.
The boundary could also be like, "Well it's OK to try, but if I say no sometimes when you try, then please stop."
Or it could be, "No, please don't do that when I'm sleeping, not ever."
People seem to hate having those kinds of conversations, they'd rather just try stuff and see what the reaction is. I don't know what is wrong with asking before touching. It's not hard. I am a big fan of clear communication of boundaries and asking permission.

6. I think that is a great response.
And yes, people do hate to talk about it.
Maybe it is because it is embarrassing on one level or maybe it is because it feels clinical to talk about those things when not in bed.
Or maybe it is a spontaneity thing.
But yeah, I like your consistency and I see your point. In reality though, they rarely get discussed as you point out and the determination as to whether touching the butt while sleeping is sexual assault or not comes only later and depends on whether the act was gratefully accepted or not.
The onus of making the moves is "usually" on men but the determination of whether to accept them as "okay" or not is on women.
I think I speak for all men when I say we would probably be happier if women picked up a bit more of the slack in the "making the moves" category.

7. It is uncomfortable at first, for sure.
I think mostly because we aren't used to having those kinds of conversations.
I have learned if you suck it up and just have them (even though it feels weird and hard), it gets easier to talk about over time.
And it sure beats getting awakened over and over at 3:00 a.m. if you are one of those people who really, really just loves to sleep through the night and have "sexy time" during normal waking hours. (Ask me how I know, hahahaha.) (Never mind, don't. )
I think I speak for all men when I say we would probably be happier if women picked up a bit more of the slack in the "making the moves" category.
I hear ya. I do not envy men and the traditional role where they are expected to ask first. It seems to me like most men probably have to make a lot of "moves" to get a "yes," and hearing "no" over and over could be really hard on a person's self-esteem.

9. Would spooning someone be considered assault?
To put your arm around someone while they are sleeping or cuddling up behind them is often said by many women to be a spontaneous and enjoyable sign of a man's true romantic feelings for them. Should the enjoyment of that surprise be spoiled by saying "Hey honey, at about 3AM I plan to cuddle you while you sleep....is that ok?"
I'm just trying to find where the line should be placed. Such things are part of the romantic bond between lovers, the same as leaning into someone for that first kiss....instead of asking permission.

11. Frankly, I like to be asked. But I can only speak for me.
I don't know what "women" think, I only know what I think.
I think every couple should have conversations about what kind of touch they like, and when. Of course you can go overboard asking permission for every little thing, and nobody wants that either. But honestly it isn't that hard to do, and before long you establish patterns of what is OK touch and then no one needs to ask permission single every time. That would be a pain in the ass.
You have decide with your partner(s) where the line should be placed for you, I can't tell you that. But you have to communicate to know where the line is.
I'm just saying, in general, more communication and asking is better than less communication and assuming in my book.
I surely am not trying to come in here and tell y'all how to do it right.... just answered the OPs question to share that I learned that for me, more communication is better than less, and you can establish boundaries pretty easily with a partner if you make an effort to talk about them, which it seems like a lot of people never do.
And I learned all this communicating and boundary establishing stuff from my current (male) partner. I wasn't great at talking about sex and intimacy before. And this precise communicating thing works better for me. When something works, I like to tell other people about it 'cause maybe it might work for them too. (Then again, maybe not, in which case you are free to say "Hey that MadrasT is bonkers, can you believe this? This would *never* work for me!") This isn't wacky radfem stuff, it's just my real life. (Well it might be wacky radfem stuff too, I don't actually know, LOL.)
Anyway no probs. It's cool if you disagree, take it or leave it.
P.S. My comments in this thread have nothing to do with Assange, I am not particularly interested in that case.

8. I haven't really been following this case too closely but as I understand it . .
the alleged victims have *not* claimed it was rape and were not the ones to press charges (if I'm wrong someone let me know).
If so I think it's absurd to try someone for rape when the rape "victims" actively participated during and made no complaints after and even affirmed that they didn't consider it rape.
Very paternalistic: no dear, you're too stupid or emotional to know if you were raped. Let us decide that for you. . .

10. Ha. The middle of the night is the one time we DON'T have sex. Everyone is too damn tired!
Its difficult to have a discussion about the particular details of the Assange case, because the whole story is so weird and -correct or not- there is the feeling that the obsessive international pursuit of the man has more to do with wikileaks, than his willywank.
However, the first question i would ask is, how did (and does) the penetrate-ee feel about the act? Does she consider it a violation? A rape? Does she want to press charges?
As for a blanket policy or attitude towards "sexual advances while one person is sleeping", i will agree with others in this thread who say that communication- beforehand- is the best bet.
People with even a modicum of tact, class and ability to hear and sense how their partner is feeling, i would think, wouldnt run into an issue at all.

Hollywood Warts n' All
By: Alan Royle
This is a collection of tell-all stories about Hollywood and its most famous stars, scandals, fights, love affairs and sexy (not so secret) secrets.
I am a HUGE fan of Hollywood. The intrigue, the mystery, the scandals…especially those that occurred in the first 100 years or so. Charlie Chaplin, Joan Crawford, Errol Flynn, these people fascinate me! I knew I'd enjoy this book and I did!
However, as much as I did enjoy the information…I did not enjoy the formatting, the errors and the (honestly) sloppy writing.
Just for examples:
1. Actor Richard Long is famous for playing Jarrod Barkley in the TV series Big Valley. The author called him, "…Richard Long of Bonanza fame."
2. In the following two paragraphs, the author assumes that I, the reader, already know all the same things he does. This is a common theme throughout the whole book.
"Ernie Kovacs was hilarious as the cigar-chomping conman in this western comedy. Two years after its completion he was filled in a car accident. Police attending the scene surmised he had been reaching for a lighter to ignite his cigar, and took his eyes off the road momentarily.
"'Capucine' is the French word for nasturtium, her favorite flower. Rumors have abounded for decades that the French beauty was a transsexual, but they have never been confirmed…."
I know that Capucine was a French actress who made 36 films between 1948 and 1990…now. I did not know it before reading these paragraphs. As far as I could tell, the author was giving a lesson in French, right in the middle of the story about Kovacs. I was left thinking, "who's favorite flower was the nasturtium." I looked at this page for several minutes before I realized that 'Capucine' might be the name of an actress.
This kind of thing was repeated over and over in this book. I spent as much time googling names (just so I knew who I was reading about) as I did actually reading the book. THAT made my reading time double or even triple.
3. The author chose to format his book in the following way. He listed movies (from those made in the 1920's to those made just before 2000) in alphabetical order. Under the name of the movie he selected one, two or more stars who appeared in that particular movie to talk about. There were sometimes pages dedicated to one such star and then bam (!), he moved on to the next story with no warning, no prelude, no indication that a change was coming. One paragraph would be about one person and the very next paragraph would be about another. It was confusing and distracting.
And, I personally did not enjoy jumping back and forth between the decades. On one page I was in 1920, on the next 1992. This, too, was distracting.
My suggestion to the author would be to add something simple—like bullet points or asterisks—to separate the different anecdotes. Just that small addition would make reading the information much more enjoyable.
And perhaps, instead of listing the movies in alphabetical order list them instead by release date.
Also, a touch more information when introducing a new subject (as in the Capucine example above) would help throughout the book.
Despite all the things I've mentioned above. I did enjoy learning so much about the stars I did know and love. If you like old Hollywood as much as I do, you MIGHT enjoy this book.
*Can I be honest with you? I gave this book a 3-star rating even though I don't believe it earned it…for a reason. I was trying to be nice.
