Cyrano de Bergerac
by Edmond Rostand
Cyrano de Bergerac Courage Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Line)
Quote #10
Watching you other people making friends
Everywhere—as a dog makes friends! I mark
The manner of these canine courtesies
And think: "My friends are of a cleaner breed;
Here comes—thank God—another enemy!"
But this is madness!
Method, let us say.
It is my pleasure to displease. I love
Hatred. Imagine how it feels to face
The volley of a thousand angry eyes—
The bile of envy and the froth of fear
Spattering little drops about me—You—
Good nature all around you, soft and warm—
You are like those Italians, in great cowls
Comfortable and loose—Your chin sinks down
In to the folds, you shoulders droop. But I—
The Spanish ruff I wear around my throat
Is like a ring of enemies; hard, proud,
Each point another pride, another thorn—
So that I hold myself erect perforce.
Wearing the hatred of the common herd
Haughtily, the harsh collar of Old Spain,
At once a fetter and—a halo! (II.438-459)
Cyrano despises most people for being so sycophantic. He wants only to state the truth, as bold and insulting as it might be. This kind of openness is a reflection of Cyrano's brazen courage.
Quote #11
It grew dark,
You could not see your hand before your eyes.
I marched on, thinking how, all for the sake
Of one old souse
(They slowly sit down, watching him.)
who wrote a bawdy song
Whenever he took—
A noseful—
(Everyone rises. CHRISTIAN balances himself on two legs of his chair.)
CYRANO (half-strangled)
—Took a notion.
Whenever he took a notion—For his sake,
I might antagonize some dangerous man,
One powerful enough to make me pay—
Through the nose—
CYRANO (wipes the sweat from his forehead.)
—Pay the Piper. After all,
I thought, why am I putting in my—
—My oar… Why am I putting in my oar?
The quarrel's none of mine. However—now
I am here, I may as well go through with it.
Come Gascon—do your duty!—Suddenly
A sword flashed in the dark. I caught it fair—
On the nose—
On my blade. Before I knew it,
There I was—
Rubbing noses—
CYRANO (pale and smiling)
Crossing swords
With half a score at once. I handed one—
A nosegay— (II.494-512)
Christian tries to show bravery by insulting Cyrano's nose, an act we've seen is a big no-no, to say the least.
Quote #12
You have courage!
Oh, that!...
You are brave—
That pleases me. (II.525-526)
The fact that Christian had the courage to purposefully insult Cyrano's nose makes Cyrano like him, since he has the same honest tongue that Cyrano does. This is one of the foundations of their friendship.

Beyoncé and Jay Z join Trayvon Martin's mother for New York march as ONE HUNDRED rallies are held across America demanding justice for black teen shot dead by George Zimmerman
- Day of action calls for civil liberty charges to be made against Zimmerman
- Tracy Martin tells Miami crowd 'I will never stop fighting for my son - and yours'
- Teenager's mother speaks alongside the Rev Al Sharpton in Manhattan
One week after George Zimmerman was found not guilty in the death of teenager Trayvon Martin, people have started to gather for nationwide rallies to press for federal civil rights charges against the former neighborhood watch leader.
Beyonce and Jay Z joined the Florida teenager's mother as she spoke to crowds in Manhattan alongside the Reverend Al Sharpton.
The case has become a flashpoint in separate but converging national debates over self-defense laws, guns, and race relations.
Scroll down for video
High profile: Trayvon's mother Sybrina Fulton, third from left, was joined by Beyonce, Jay Z and the Rev Al Sharpton at New York's protest Saturday
Star support: Beyonce and Jay Z join a Justice for Trayvon rally in New York
Connection: Celebrity couple Beyonce and Jay Z say as parents they can understand the pain of the verdict
The Rev Al Sharpton's National Action Network organized Justice for Trayvon rallies and vigils outside federal buildings from noon in at least 101 cities, from New York and Los Angeles to Wichita in Kansas and Birmingham, Alabama.
On Saturday morning he told supporters in Manhattan he wanted a rollback of stand-your-ground self-defense laws.
'We are trying to change laws so that this never, ever happens again,' he said.
'We have the strength to wipe our tears away. Last Saturday we cried. This Saturday we march.'
Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton, also spoke at the New York rally, telling the crowd: 'Today it was my son. Tomorrow it might be yours.'
Emotional: Trayvon's mother Sybrina Fulton is joined by her son, Jahvaris, left, and the Rev Al Sharpton as she speaks in New York
Speech: Meanwhile, in Miami, Trayvon's father Tracy Martin told crowds there that he will continue to fight for his son
Rally: Crowds gathered outside the federal courthouse in Miami as part of a nationwide response to the verdict in the George Zimmerman case
She added: 'Of course we are hurting. Of course we are shocked and disappointed, but that just means we have to roll up our sleeves and continue to fight.'
Ms Fulton, her son Jahvaris, and the Rev Al Sharpton joined the rally as it marched to One Police Plaza at noon, where they were joined by Jay Z and his wife Beyonce, according to the New York Post.
Although they did not speak at the rally, the Rev Al Sharpton told the crowd: 'Jay Z told me, "I'm a father. Beyonce is a mother". We all feel the pain and apprehension - the laws must protect everybody, or it doesn't protect anybody.'
He added: 'We do not come from hate, we come from love of children,' according to the Huffington Post.
Beyonce had shown her support for the case last week, asking for a moment of silence at a concert after the not guilty verdict was recorded.
While Trayvon's mother was in New York, the dead teenager's father took part in a Miami rally on Saturday morning, according to NBC News.
Support: People march through Oakland, California, as part of the Justice for Trayvon rally
Verdict: George Zimmmerman, right, was found not guilty in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, left
Debate: The rallies, including this one in Los Angeles, were organized to call for civil liberty charges to be brought against Mr Zimmerman
Wide spread: Philadelphia residents took part in the day of action
Campaign: In Austin, Texas, crowds marched while carrying banners
United: In Salt Lake City residents gathered outside the Wallace Bennett Federal Building for the rally
Tracy Martin told supporters outside Miami's federal courthouse: 'I vowed to Trayvon, when he was lying in his casket, that I would use every ounce of energy in my body to seek justice for him.'
He added: 'I will fight for Trayvon until the day I die. Not only will I fight for Trayvon, I will fight for your child as well.'
The Rev Sharpton and other supporters want the Justice Department to pursue federal civil rights charges against Mr Zimmerman.
He told the rally on Saturday: 'They will not say that was the young man killed in Sanford. They will say that was the young man who helped change the laws in the United States of America.'
Former Governor Eliot Spitzer, who attended the New York rally, said: 'Regardless of how you view the legality of the verdict in isolation, justice here was denied. An innocent young man was shot and killed and that is a tragedy.'
Protection: Eight-month-old Tyleigh Gould in Florida was one of many children taken to the rallies as parents voiced concern at the trial verdict
Presidential backing: At the New York rally a woman holds a sign of President Obama, who said he could have been like Trayvon Martin
Icon: Members of the crowd wore hoodies or held up packets of Skittles in reference to Trayvon being shot as he returned from buying the candy
National outcry: Rallies were due to be held in about 100 cities across the U.S. including Midland, Texas
Attorney General Eric Holder announced this week that the department would investigate whether the Hispanic neighborhood watch man could be charged under those federal civil rights laws, which would require evidence that he harbored racial animosity against Trayvon.
Most legal experts said it would be a difficult charge to bring.
Mr Holder added that the shooting demonstrated the need to re-examine stand-your-ground laws nationwide.
The Rev Jeffrey Johnson told about 200 people in Indianapolis that the rally was about making life safer for young black men.
Continuing protests: Posters announcing a future rally for Trayvon Martin in New York
United in cause: 8-year-old Anthony Simbler, left, and dentist Nicole Ray, right, wear similar suits that unite them in their cause for justice for Trayvon, though they protested today in separate cities (Simbler in Chicago and Ray in Miami)
Father and son supporters: Ulysses Diaz, holds his son, Armani Hinton, as they listen to a speech at a rally in Las Vegas.
The Rev Johnson said there were still endangered by racial profiling, and he compared Mr Zimmerman's acquittal to that of four white officers in the beating of black motorist Rodney King in 1992, according to the Boston Globe.
''The verdict freed George Zimmerman, but it condemned America more,' the pastor who is a member of the board of directors of the National Action Network, said.
On Friday President Obama said it was still common for black men to ''be followed in a department store' while shopping or to walk down the street and 'hear the car doors lock'.
He added that he had experienced both scenarios before he rose to social and political prominence.
Network: The rally in Miami was one of many held on Saturday, to mark a week since the not guilty trial verdict
Change: The trial has led to calls for renewed debates on Florida's stand your ground law
Mass action: Large crowds gather in Atlanta, Georgia, at one of the Justice for Trayvon rallies
Protest: A young girl joins a protest outside a Philadelphia court house

they said the supercharger was not included.
After many phone calls they now say it was lost during shipping and they are in a dispute with the freight line and that the freight line is responsible and more than likely they will pay for it and they were not going to replace the
supercharger. We contacted freight liner to verify this dispute and they could not because there is no dispute with SWE about this shipment. Contacted SWE again and we were sent a voice mail and left a message to call us back and not once have any of them called us back. Contact where the engine with super charger originally came from and was shipped from Engine and Transmission World, Eugene, OR. Gave them all info and they told us no supercharger was shipped out with this engine and they never sale any engine with the super charger. We then told them it's on the invoice we received from SWE ***includes supercharger*** and would they send us all paper work that SWE sent to them when ordering this engine with super charger and thye told us that we were putting them between a rock and a hard place and they would not send any paperwork and to contact SWE about this matter. 3/21/13

Here's why it's important:
Southwest Engines Inc. 2100 East College Avenue Cudahy, Wisconsin USA is preying on consumers. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is aware of this but is unable to act swiftly due to bureaucracy. Mean while more and more consumers are taken advantage of. Many consumer losses are for thousands and thousands of dollars. This has gone on for long enough. It is time for attention to be paid to Southwest Engines Inc.

Women leaders are key to Afghanistan's progress, says UNDP
Kabul– Women's empowerment and full participation in the future of Afghanistan was top of the agenda during a visit to the country this week by Rebeca Grynspan, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and UN Development Programme (UNDP) Associate Administrator.
Grynspan's first stop was at the Ministry of Women's Affairs where she discussed UNDP's role and actions in promoting women's rights with a group of female leaders, including parliamentarians, police officers and members of Afghanistan's academia and civil society.
"Gender equality is not just the right thing to do. It's also the smart thing to do," said Grynspan at the meeting. "Evidence consistently shows that where women are given opportunities, societies develop more rapidly."
Among those present at the meeting were women who won parliamentary seats in 2010 and now form some 27 percent of all parliamentarians in the assembly, exceeding the 25 percent quota reserved for them.
UNDP has supported a range of efforts to improve the position of women in Afghanistan, including in the police force, where one thousand female officers are currently serving and the goal is recruitment of an additional 4,000 by 2014.
More than 60 percent of girls are now enrolled in primary school, compared to zero 10 years ago. The number of girls graduating to secondary and higher education levels is rapidly increasing.
Afghanistan also has a number of specific legal provisions and laws on gender equality and is a signatory to the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
Grynspan said that while Conventions and other frameworks are an essential first step: "Words must be followed by deeds; the gap between expressed will and the real challenges is still huge."
According to Afghanistan's Central Statistics Office, only about eight percent of the country's decision makers are women. Most women are unemployed and those who work are often unpaid or paid half the salary of their male counterparts.
Between 70 and 80 percent of women experience early marriages, 87 percent face physical, psychological and/or sexual abuse, and Afghan women are more likely to die during childbirth than women in any other country.
"Many women are simply not aware of their rights," said Qazi Asisa Kakar, a supreme court judge.
Husn Banu Ghazanfar, the Minister of Women's Affairs, said that while women are united in their will to create a positive change, the challenge is that "decision-making positions are disproportionately occupied by men."

Follow these steps to create a donor advised fund using Thrivent Life Insurance. For help choosing a product, see Giving Life Insurance through InFaith Community Foundation.
Creating the Donor Advised Fund
- The donor completes and submits the Fund Workbook. The Fund Workbook is the donor's opportunity to tell InFaith what charities are to benefit from the proceeds of the life insurance gift. Please include a copy of the in-force illustration, if possible. Donors can change their charitable recommendations throughout their lifetimes. See the 'Give Now. Give Later. Give & Receive.' brochure for the types of donor advised funds available;
- Based on information provided in the Fund Workbook, InFaith drafts a Fund Agreement and sends it to the donor. The FR receives a copy of the Fund Agreement; and
- The donor signs the Fund Agreement and returns it to InFaith.
The Application Process
- Complete the application with the insured as the owner and InFaith Community Foundation as beneficiary. InFaith will own the policy through absolute assignment; and
- Submit the first premium with the application to Thrivent.
Absolute Assignment
- Complete the absolute assignment form, changing ownership from the insured to InFaith Community Foundation. This completed, signed form can be sent to Thrivent along with the first premium and application;
- InFaith's Tax ID number is: 41-1802412; date of incorporation is Dec. 22, 1994; and
- The contract owner should sign the absolute assignment form in the presence of an impartial witness or Notary Public.
Mailing Procedures
- The life insurance application, initial premium and absolute assignment form should be sent directly to Thrivent Financial.
- Mail the Fund Workbook to:
InFaith Community Foundation
625 Fourth Avenue South, Suite 1500
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415
- Deliver the insurance contract to the insured.
- Can InFaith pay out the entire death benefit to my recommended charities?
While InFaith offers options that allow for immediate payouts to charities, most of its donor advised funds are designed to provide ongoing support to recommended charities on a permanent basis. InFaith begins distributing annual grants of 5% to the donor's recommended charities following the year the gift was made. If the donor would like charities to receive a larger percentage of the fund for fewer years, there is an option that allows a maximum of 10% of the fund to be distributed for a maximum of 20 years. At the end of the stated time period, the remainder of the fund goes to the InFaith Community Fund.
Donors can also request InFaith distribute a portion of the death benefit to the charities at the death of the insured. The greater of $50,000 or 20% of the death benefit must remain in the donor's perpetual donor advised fund for the benefit of the donor's charities. For more information on how charities can benefit, view page 8 of the Fund Workbook.
- Where should my client send premium payments?Thrivent will send premium notices directly to your client. Your client should make premium payments directly to Thrivent, unless you expect the amount of the premium to exceed 30% of your client's adjusted gross income in that calendar year. If so, it may provide a greater tax benefit to make the payment directly to InFaith, because charitable deductions for premium payments paid directly to the insurance company may be limited to 30% of the donor's adjusted gross income, excess deductions may not be carried over to future tax years. Payments made directly to InFaith are limited to 50% of donor's adjusted gross income and can be carried over for up to 5 additional tax years. Please call InFaith to discuss this situation.
- What will my client get from InFaith to use for tax purposes?
Premium payments made on charitable life insurance contracts (owned by InFaith) qualify as charitable contributions. Although the IRS requires that donors be sent written receipts for gifts of $250 or more, InFaith provides a written receipt to the donor for all gifts, regardless of size. If premium payments are made directly to InFaith, gift receipts are sent to the donor immediately. If premium payments are made to Thrivent, the gift is receipted quarterly after InFaith receives the information from Thrivent. At the end of the year, the donor will receive a cumulative gift receipt for the year.
- Who keeps the insurance contract?
Although InFaith owns the life insurance, the donor/insured will be sent the contract to keep with his/her personal records. Then the family will know to notify InFaith and Thrivent of the death.
- Can other types of gifts be made to the donor's fund?
Many InFaith donors have made multiple gifts to their donor advised fund – some have designated beneficiary proceeds to their fund and some have created charitable gift annuities. The many giving options available to donors are described on pages 4 and 5 of the Give Now. Give Later. Give & Receive. brochure.
The staff of InFaith Community Foundation is available to assist you and your clients with your charitable giving questions. Call us at 800.365.4172 or contact us via email.

We left our gate in April and went down to Mission, Texas for RV repairs which took longer than predicted or expected. We stayed with friends, Jan and Steve Spaulding, fellow gate guards, who were kind enough to let us stay in their Texas room. We went to the beach, visited the dentist in Mexico for some needed dental work, toured some interesting places, ate out at their favorite restaurants (because they of course know the bestest places to eat yummy food) and we had a lot of fun with Jan and Steve and were sad to leave, but anxious to visit the children and grandson in Sarasota, Florida.
We stayed in Sarasota for about 3 weeks. Of course we had a wonderful time with the family, went out boating and fishing and tried our luck at stand up paddle boarding for the first time ever (FUN!). Then up to Jacksonville, Florida to visit with my sister, niece and brother in law and more YUMMY food! Then the long drive up to Maine, but not without some troubles along the way, such as expensive truck repairs!
We had lots of adventures along the way and it was a trip we will not soon forget, including the stop over in New York City. But we finally made it to Bar Harbor, Maine the end of May.
We miss our gate guard friends and hope to be able to get on a gate when we return to Texas later this year. In the meantime, I won't be writing any gate guard related posts. Till then, . . . Happy Trails.

Community service for 'heartless' letting agent who illegally evicted family with baby
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Local Government
Community service for 'heartless' letting agent who illegally evicted family with baby
A callous letting agent who waged a war of intimidation against a family living in a Newham property he managed, has been given a suspended prison sentence and told to complete 120 hours of community service.
Sajaid Shaukat, from Bow, was found guilty in December at Inner London Crown Court, of causing an illegal eviction. He appeared for sentence on 17 January and was given a five-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months on condition that he completes 120 hours community service. He must also pay £1,000 towards prosecution costs.
Shaukat was prosecuted by Newham Council under the Protection of Eviction Act 1977 after a tenant in a flat in Green Street that he managed, approached the local authority for help because he had been illegally evicted.
The court heard the tenant had an assured short-hold tenancy for the property and had lived there since August 2009 with his wife and 18-month-old son. However, the family had to quit the property after they began to receive threatening texts from Shaukat. The gas meter and electricity was also disconnected by a handyman who worked for Shaukat and the landlord.
In December 2013, the tenant successfully sued the landlord at Bow County Court for £7,000 in damages. This was because the landlord disposed of the tenant's personal belongings from the property, which included his wedding photographs and other sentimental items.
Newham Council is currently checking all letting agencies in the borough to ensure they are operating in line with fair trading practises and comply with the consumer rights law. This is linked to Newham's successful borough-wide property licensing scheme, which was introduced in January 2013.
Councillor Andrew Baikie, executive member for housing and customer service, said: "This was an appalling case which caused great distress to the victims and demonstrates the necessity of our private sector licensing scheme.
"This couple and their baby were forced from their home by this heartless agent's deliberate actions, losing items of great sentimental value which cannot be replaced.
"Our ground-breaking licensing scheme is helping us to tackle poor standards in the private rented sector and focus our enforcement action on the minority of unscrupulous landlords who refuse to comply with the law.
"However as this case shows, we also need to look at the practices of some of the letting agents operating in the borough. Newham Council will not tolerate this kind of criminal behaviour and we will prosecute any letting agent or landlord we find treating their tenants in such a despicable way."

Kind of sucessful at Lyon in the french league and had a decent run in the champion league too. Any good when he was at Liverpool and France national team? If he really takes on the toon job, I hope the pressure of being a premier league club manager would not affect his health (or his heart) again. It is really a stressful job, Gerard.
Do you remember how the scousers broke with tradition of appointing management from within? First they brought Houllier in to work alongside Roy Evans (yeah right!) and gradually eased Roy out until Gerard took over completely.To be fair Liverpool did win quite a bit of silverware under him (5 trophies I think) which no doubt would send the Geordie faithful into orbit but inevitably his failure to turn Liverpool back into serious title contenders led to his demise and he too was pushed out. (This is from memory so I am ready to be shot down but I think I am close to the mark).Is he the right man for the Newcastle job? In my opinion no but I would put him ahead of the likes of Mark Hughes.

I love how this floor turned out great,and was easy to install. Everyone who has come over since we put in it was surprised that we did it ourselves,which is always a great compliment.
Service and delivery comments:
It was a busy day when we went to pick up our flooring, so be prepared to wait. Also, the wood weights more than we expected so be prepared for that.

We have had a few that were missing the "groove" or the "tongue." The install is still in-progress, so we cannot attest to how well they will wear, but they sure are pretty.

Fort Taylor, Key West

7 Reviews
My husband read about some great bird watching opportunites out at Fort Zach, but we were about 3 weeks too early. We enjoyed ourselves anyway, walking along the beach (pebbly - not sandy - so be sure to wear your flip-flops or aquasox!). The water was beautiful and I found some sea glass! Next we walked over to the civil-war era fort - we had missed the daily tour (noon), but walked around anyway. There is a great view from the top of the fort - Key West is so pretty, but being up high and looking out to sea for miles is just breathtaking! We walked around the fort and saw a few birds, and a couple of HUGE iguanas - scared the bejezus out of me!
I've been told the snorkeling here is pretty good, and the picnicing families seemed to really enjoy themselves. We actually came back here twice more - we enjoyed the park so much!
There is a small admission fee ($2 to walk in - more to bring in a car), but it makes for a more private beach experience.

My brother has a bucket list to go to the furthest points of the four tips of the continental US, so our cruise stop in Key West was part of his must do list. There is a much photographed spot for this goal, but he looked at maps and realized that this state park was at least as south or more southeast as the designated spot, and certainly prettier and less crowded, so that was where we headed from our shuttle drop off point at Mallory Square. Once we got away from the more touristy shopping district we walked through some lovely neighborhoods that made the walk worthwhile. Local information about the park lists it as a multiple year winner as the best state park in America.
Once we finally got to our destination we were very pleased with our choice. A short walk took us to the beach and a rock jetty where my brother's dream was realized. Although other reviews don't say a lot good about the Key West beaches, I quite liked this one. Palm trees created a picture postcard beach effect, and the trucked in sand was perfectly nice. The beach was relatively uncrowded and completely free from commercialized touristy influences. There were lots of picnic tables back in the shady pine woods by the beach, and we had a view around the corner of the beach of our ship.
On the backside of the fort on the grassy bank by the moat we spotted several large female and one large male Iguanas that had come up from the area by the water to sun and feed. We'd seen a lot of tiny lizards on the sidewalks on the way there, but lizards this size were a fun bonus.
If we were ever to return here though we'd probably get a taxi there and walk back though. We did flag a taxi on our way out and paid around $7 to get back to our starting point.
There are several beaches on the Atlantic (east) side of Key West. However, the beach inside Ft. Zachery Taylor Park is my favorite.
The sand is imported from the Bahamas (so I was told). There are several rock outcroppings for sunning and snorkleing, and the tide is pretty calm. There is also a snackbar as well as picnic tables, restrooms, showers, and Park Rangers.
There is a fee of about $1.50 a person, which includes the beach as well as tours of the fort. The fort museum is currently closed.
Granted, you can see power lines to the side of the beach heading into the substation, and there is some restoration going on all around the fort and fort museum. But it did not bother us one bit.
General note about beaches - the beaches in the Keys are for the most part man made and are not what people have come to expect on the Gulf Coast or Atlantic further north. The seaweed is heavier and the sand rougher.

There are tons of trails at the fort to hike. Plus we drove a car in earlier in the day rented the mopeds and drove back to the fort with them for a nice picnic on the beach. Made for a great dayin the sun..

This park is both a recreational area and a historic site. A fort was built in the 1800s to protect the coastline during the Spanish American War. Guided tours of the fort are offered daily.
The park also has a beachfront area and a short nature trail. Its a great place to find some quiet time away from the activity on Duval Street.

Fort Taylor was completed in 1866. I've done a whole VT travel page on Fort Taylor The regular website is on the Florida Parks page.
Mail address P.O. Box 6560, Key West, Florida 33041
- there is a $4 per car fee
- there are daily tours of the fort at Noon and 2 p.m.
The fort was turned over to the Navy in 1947 to maintain. It was not available in the 60s when we lived there, as all the old armaments were buried and restoration was not started until 1968.
On the bank of the moat there are some extremely interesting sculptures. Don't miss them.
There is not only has the partly restored fort, but also a park/beach area for fishing, swimming, snorkeling, and picnics etc. which is said by some to be the best beach in Key West. There are showers, a snack bar and restrooms.

Fort Zachary Taylor. This is a fort that was used in the Civil War, WW I & II, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The fort was built in 1845 and controled by the Union Army during the Civil War. The Confederates could never take away the fort because of 10' Rodman & Columbiad cannons that had a three mile range.
Not too much to see in the fort, but if you are a war buff it is worth it. The fort is on the water right next to a nice, quiet beach.

New Movie: Coming of Age, Out of the Closet
Keeping a marriage together is difficult enough, but what do you do when you discover your husband of nine years is gay?
That awkward revelation and other romantic stumbles frame director Arvin Chen's latest comedy of errors, "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"
Richie Jen stars as a mild-mannered optical-shop manager named Wei-chung who's approaching middle age. By all outward appearances, he's leading a happy and quiet life in Taipei with his wife Feng (Mavis Fan) and their 6-year-old son. There's just one obstacle: He's gay. Wei-chung has managed to suppress those feelings throughout his married life until he reunites with a group of gay friends from his single days and later begins a tentative romance with a Hong Kong flight attendant.
Meanwhile, Wei-chung's sister Mandy (Kimi Hsia) has her own romantic troubles: She has dumped her fiancé (Stone, of the rock band Mayday) in the toilet-roll aisle of a big-box store, panicked at the thought of getting stuck in a marital rut the rest of her life. Mandy holes up in her apartment eating instant noodles and watching a Korea soap opera, whose dreamy (and younger) leading man leaps off the TV screen and onto her sofa to offer relationship advice. (Like Mr. Chen's first film, "Au Revoir Taipei" (2010), "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" is filled with those type of whimsical episodes.)

"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" is the latest in a string of comedy-dramas featuring gay characters that stretches back to Ang Lee's "The Wedding Banquet" in 1993 and more recently with "Formula 17" (2004) and "GF*BF" (2012).
"Taiwan has always been more progressive and liberal toward gay culture," Mr. Chen said Tuesday night at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, where audiences in Asia got their first peek at the movie following its premiere last month in Berlin.
"Coming-of-age films are very popular in Taiwan, especially gay coming-of-age films," said the American-born, Taipei-based filmmaker. And while "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" is more of a midlife crisis story, "I think it's natural for gay [stories] to be part of that, because coming of age and coming out of the closet are parallel in a lot of ways."
The movie borrows its title from the 1960 song by girl group the Shirelles. Just before the Berlin opening, Mr. Chen changed the movie's title from its original "Afternoon Delight" to avoid confusion with an unrelated film with the same name that screened at Sundance in January. "A lot of people thought we were that film," he said. "But it made more sense" to change the name because it clings closely to the Chinese-language title, which translates as "Remember to Love Me Tomorrow."
"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" opens next month in Taiwan, Hong Kong and New York, where it will screen as part of the Tribeca Film Festival.

From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. As a result of the unstable state of affairs in the West, the regiment received orders in October, 1865, to change station to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. It was then encamped at Monrovia Station, Maryland, following four years of active duty in the Civil War. Having received its complement of recruits, the regiment now had a strength of 34 officers and 876 enlisted men. During October, it was depleted of all horses and was not again provided with them until November, after arriving in the West. The regiment now consisted of a regimental headquarters, a band, and twelve companies, with squadrons of two companies. On October 15 it moved by rail to Parkersburg, West Virginia, at which place it embarked on the steamboats Mariner and Huntsville. Thence it traveled via the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri Rivers to Fort Leavenworth, where it arrived November 7. The regiment was not again to be assembled as a unit in one post until the beginning of the Spanish-American War in 1898. The troops moved between November 10 and 20, 1865, to frontier posts as follows: Regt. Hq, Band, and Co. E – Fort Riley, Kansas. Cos. A, B – Fort Kearney, Nebraska. Co. C – Fort Hays, Kansas. Co. D – Fort Lyon, Colorado. Co. F – Fort Ellsworth (Fort Harker), Kansas. Cos. G, I – Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Co. H – Pond Creek (Fort Wallace), Kansas. Co. K – Fort Dodge, Kansas. Co. L – Fort Larned, Kansas. Co. M – Fort Aubry, Kansas. These posts were newly located, offering little shelter to men or animals. It was therefore necessary for the troops to embark upon a building program using soldier labor, especially at Hays, Harker, and Wallace on the Smoky Hill route, and Dodge and Aubry on the Arkansas River. The troops were thus employed in cutting timber, quarrying stone, making adobe bricks, running saw mills, burning brick and lime, and driving wagons. This was a common way of constructing new posts, and even old posts were provided with new buildings from materials found in the vicinity. Many desertions were thought to be caused by troops doing this kind of work. In addition, enlisted men were used to procure fuel and hay, and to act as gardeners. It was necessary that the troop also do some drilling, guarding, and general police of the post. The men were usually so busy at the various activities that there was little time for drilling and other military work. During the War of the Rebellion, the Indian question had been largely left in abeyance. It was to keep these people in a peaceful state that the Second Cavalry was now on the Great Plains. In the area where...Read More
From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. Hardly had the troops finished building the cantonments in Kansas when they were ordered by General Sherman to change station to the Department of the Platte. This area was commanded by the former colonel of the regiment, General Philip St. George Cook, with station at Fort Omaha, Nebraska. Upon their arrival, the troops were distributed as follows: Regt. Hq., Band, Cos. D, F, H, I, K, L – Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Cos. A, B – Fort McPherson, Nebraska. Co. C – Fort Phil Kearney, Wyoming. Co. E – Fort Casper, Wyoming. Co. G – Fort Sanders, Wyoming. Co. M – Fort Sedgwick, Colorado. At these posts the troops began the same routine of construction and labor as they had experienced in Kansas during the past year. Forts McPherson, Sedgwick, Sanders, and Phil Kearney were incomplete, the accommodations being of a most temporary character. Fort Laramie, one of the oldest posts in the West, was more up to date, but had insufficient space for the number of troops stationed there. The Second Cavalry was now located in strategical points between the plains and the Rockies. Fort Laramie was at the junction of the Laramie and North Platte Rivers. It was also at the junction of the Oregon and Bozeman Trails, and commanded the exit of the South Pass. Fort McPherson was at the junction of the South Platte and North Platte Rivers. Fort Sedgwick, near the town of Julesburg, was at the meeting of the Bozeman and Overland Trails. Forts Sanders, Sedgwick, and McPherson were on the projected route of the transcontinental railroad. Fort Casper was on the North Platte River and the Oregon Trail, while Fort Phil Kearney was on the Bozeman...Read More
From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. A small party of Indians ran off some stock from the vicinity of Fort Laramie in early October, 1866. Lieutenant Bingham, with a detachment from Company C, pursued them on October 3, recaptured the stock, and killed one Indian. Although after a much smaller party, this scouting expedition was performed under the same difficulties as that of Lieutenant Armes the same month, which brought forth the praise of the Department Commander. Hardly had Company M arrived at Fort Sedgwick in northeastern Colorado when it was called upon to show its mettle. On October 23, Lieutenant Armes, with 25 men from his company, was sent in pursuit of about fifty Sioux Indians who had stampeded a herd of mules and another of oxen near the post. Starting at 4:00 a.m. the detachment traveled until 9:00 p.m., a distance of about ninety miles, when it came upon the Indians encamped in a marsh on the north side of the North Platte. Lieutenant Armes divided his party in order to attack from two directions and to separate the pony herd from the camp. The Indians, who were in their tepees, were taken completely by surprise. When they rushed toward their ponies, the troops barred the way. The latter then proceeded to burn the village and at the same time to drive away the stolen stock and Indian pony herd. The detachment turned home that same night and arrived there the next afternoon, having fought a skirmish and traveled one hundred seventy miles in thirty-seven hours. Because it was necessary to cross the North Platte several times, the men traveled most of the distance in wet clothes. The Indians left on the field four killed and seven wounded, and Lieutenant Armes had two men and ten animals wounded. As a result of this engagement that officer recommended that the revolver be issued to troops. Fort Sedgwick, Colorado October 25, 1866 We are in one of our periodic Indian excitements. On Wednesday morning, October 23, Mr. Carlisle reported that his mules, ninety-five in number, had been stampeded by a band of about fifty Indians, thirteen miles east of this place, at twelve o'clock the night before. Captain James P. W. Neill, Eighteenth United States Infantry, Commanding Post, immediately sent Lieutenant Norwood with twenty men of the Second Cavalry, to the scene of the trouble. Shortly after, Mr. J. H. Wall arrived and reported that he had been attacked by the same band, and lost the whole of his stock, nearly one hundred head of fat oxen, and he brought his herder, dangerously wounded by a round musket ball through his chest, to this place. Mr. Wall brought information that the marauders had crossed the Platte and...Read More
From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. In 1865 the United States Government wanted to build a wagon road east of the Big Horn Mountains into the mining districts of Montana and Idaho. The country through which this road was to pass was the hunting grounds of the Sioux and Cheyennes. Red Cloud, the chief of the Sioux, entered a most emphatic protest, declaring it would drive away the game. It was the best buffalo range on the continent, and these animals furnished the Indians with food, clothing, and skins for their lodges. During the fall of 1865 a council was proposed to Red Cloud to effect an agreement whereby the road might be constructed, but he refused to participate. Another council was proposed the following June, and this time Red Cloud, along with several other Sioux chiefs, attended. Throughout the conference there was violent opposition to the building of the road by most of the Indians present. Anticipating success of his effort, the government initiated plans to go ahead with the work while the meeting was still in progress. Hearing of the movement of the troops into the disputed country, the majority of the chiefs, under Red Cloud, withdrew from the session, refusing to accept the presents sent by the government. Nevertheless, it was decided to go ahead and build the forts along the route, which was known as the Bozeman Trail. Colonel Henry B. Carrington, of the Eighteenth Infantry, was given charge of the work, which included rebuilding old Fort Reno, on the Powder River, Fort Phil Kearney at the forks of the Big and Little Piney, and Fort C. F. Smith on the Big Horn. Company C left Fort Laramie under command of Lieutenant Horatio S. Bingham, October 23, 1866, en route to Fort Phil Kearney, Wyoming, and arrived at this place November 2. Six companies of the Eighteenth Infantry under Colonel Carrington had occupied the post since its beginning in July. Construction was still in progress, necessitating logging operations some seven miles from the post. So closely had the Sioux drawn their lines about the garrison that hay could not be cut or trees felled without a heavy guard accompanying the workmen. In fact, this post was generally in a state of siege. From the arrival of the troops until the close of the year, Red Cloud's warriors killed one hundred fifty-four persons, wounded twenty, and drove away hundreds of head of stock belonging to citizens of the...Read More
From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. About eleven o'clock on the morning of December 21, 1866, the lookout on Sullivant Hills signaled that the wood train had been corralled about one and one-half miles from the post, and was attacked in force. A relief party of forty-nine men of the Eighteenth Infantry, and twenty-seven of C Company, Second Cavalry, temporarily commanded by Lieutenant Grummond, Eighteenth Infantry, was hastily organized. Captain Powell was placed in command of the expedition, but just as it was about to start, Captain Fetterman came up and begged for the command. Colonel Carrington reluctantly acceded to his plea, and gave him orders to relieve the wood train, drive back the Indians, but not to pursue them beyond the Lodge Trail Ridge. The force was joined by Captain Brown and two hunters who volunteered to go, and now consisted of eighty-two men. Instead of leading his men direct to the wood train on the south side of Sullivant Hills, Captain Fetterman moved hastily toward Peno Valley on the north side. This movement was noticed from the fort, and as it might be a good tactical maneuver by taking the enemy in the rear, no apprehension was felt. The hostile Indian scouts noticed Fetterman's movement on the north side of the hill, and immediately withdrew from the wood train, which broke corral and made its way to the Piney, seven miles northwest of the fort, where it went into camp. About this time several Indians were noticed along the Piney in front of the fort. A shot from the cannon caused this group to scatter. The main body of the Indians had disappeared to the northwest toward Peno Creek. This placed them, during this movement, on the opposite side of the hill from Fetterman's force, which doubtless was ignorant of the withdrawal of the Sioux from the attack on the wagon train. It was now discovered that no doctor had accompanied the relieving party. Acting-Assistant Surgeon Hines, with an escort of four men, was sent to join Fetterman. The doctor returned in a little while with the information that the wood train had gone on, and that when he attempted to cross the Valley of the Peno, it was full of Indians, and that he saw no sign of Fetterman. Alarm was caused in the fort by heavy firing about twelve o'clock from beyond Lodge Trail Ridge, five miles away. Colonel Carrington instantly dispatched Captain Ten Eyck with about fifty-four men to the relief of Fetterman. This group had gone only a short distance when forty additional men were sent to join them. The garrison in the fort was now depleted to an alarming extent. Prisoners were released and armed, and quartermaster employees and citizens...Read More

Alan Barnett was awarded our eighth annual Kurt Bucholz Conservation Award at its Annual Roundup, held on August 29 at Warren Livestock Co.'s Pole Creek Ranch outside of Cheyenne.
Many Wyoming producers know Alan through his work with Farm Credit Services but in addition to his career as an ag lender, Alan and his family bought a ranch on Gooseberry Creek on the western edge of the Big Horn Basin. A conservation easement on that ranch was completed in 2005 and led the way for three neighboring ranches to sell agricultural conservation easements on their lands. Thus began the process of protecting an entire watershed. Since then, much of the upper reaches of Gooseberry and its tributaries have been protected. Upon receiving the award, Alan told attendees, "I am humbled and honored to have been given this award and glad to work on projects that further Wyoming's natural resource heritage."
Alan and his neighbors have also worked with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and the local Conservation Districts on removal of invasive Russian olive and salt cedar, and on stream bank restoration. Alan also worked with Wyoming Game and Fish on conserving Sage grouse habitat, well before it became the hot topic of today.
Alan Barnett spent the first 12 years of his life on the Padlock Ranch near Sheridan, where his father was the manager, and has been immersed in cows, horses, and the business of ranching ever since. A close associate of Buck Branneman's, Alan has helped to organize training clinics around the west. Alan's long experience with Farm Credit Services and agricultural banking have been a great addition to the Land Trust's activities, and made him an invaluable member of its Board of Directors for which he served as Vice Chairman prior to stepping down last year.
The Kurt Bucholz Conservation Award is named for the late Dr. Kurt Bucholz DVM, one of the Stock Growers Land Trust's early supporters who, along with his wife Laura, ranched in Carbon County. For many years Dr. Bucholz devoted countless hours to his county and state. He demonstrated a keen understanding of state and local water issues, and was adamant about protecting the upper North Platte Valley's vital and historic water rights. A rare cancer claimed Kurt's life in December 2006. The Stock Growers Land Trust and Laura Bucholz created the Kurt Bucholz Conservation Award in 2008 to be presented annually to an individual who exemplifies Kurt's conservation values, particularly those that center on protecting and nourishing Wyoming's working ranches.
The Bucholz award honoree receives a bronze statue sculpted by Wyoming artist Jerry Palen that depicts the Stock Growers Land Trust horse and rider logo. Past recipients are Bobbie Frank (2014), Mike Healy (2013), Bob Budd (2012), Jim Chant (2011), Joe Glode (2010), Dr. John Lunt (2009) and Dennis Sun (2008).

East Winthrop food pantry in danger of closingUPDATED 6:53 PM EDT Mar 21, 2014
WMTW News 8's Lindsay Liepman spoke to the person who helps run the food pantry about changes that could result in its closing.Video Transcript
INTRO AS WE FIRST REPORTED LAST WEEK, HANNAFORD WILL NOW ONLY DONATE FOOD TO AFFILIATES OF GOOD SHEPHERD FOOD BANK. BUT NOW, AN EAST WINTHROP FOOD PANTRY MAY HAVE TO CLOSE ITS DOORS, AS A RESULT. W-M-T-W NEWS 8'S LINDSAY LIEPMAN JOINS US LIVE WITH THE FALL OUT. INTRO GOOD SHEPHERD SENT A REJECTION LETTER TO THE EAST WINTHROP BAPTIST CHURCH FOOD PANTRY WHICH SERVES MORE THAN A HUNDRED PEOPLE A WEEK. WITHOUT HANNAFORD'S HELP, THE PANTRY COULD SHUT DOWN AFTER TWENTY TWO YEARS OF FEEDING THE HUNGRY. THIS IS THE LETTER FROM GOOD SHEPHERD FOOD BANK THAT DENIES EAST WINTHROP BAPTIST CHURCH ACCESS TO THEIR FOOD SUPPLIES. IT MEANS THE CHURCH PANTRY WON'T BE GETTING FOOD FROM HANNAFORD ANYMORE, SINCE HANNAFORD WILL NOW WORK EXCLUSIVELY WITH GOOD SHEPHERD TO AVOID WASTING FOOD. "if someone is hungry, they come to our door and we feed them." THAT PHILOSOPHY, SAYS PASTOR SAMUEL RICHARDS, MEANS THEY DON'T COMPLY WITH THE WAY GOOD SHEPHERD FOOD BANK WORKS. GOOD SHEPHERD REQUIRES A PANTRY TO COLLECT DATA LIKE HOUSEHOLD SIZE AND INCOME, AND GIVE OUT FOOD ACCORDING TO GUIDELINES. "people are just so grateful to get fresh food. We give someone a head of lettuce and they start weeping and we're going, oh my goodness, that's really hard for us frankly to see that kind of gratitude and level of need." THEY AREN'T UPSET WITH GOOD SHEPHERD OR HANNAFORDBUT THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT THEY'VE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DOING FOR 22 YEARS. "we believe that God is in charge of this so we're leaning on Him rather than any company. We think possibly there's another company that might be interested in feeding the hungry the way we do." GOOD SHEPHERD FOOD BANK'S PRESIDENT KRISTEN MIALE SAYS THE CHURCH PANTRY IS ONE OF TWO NEW APPLICANTS THAT HAVE BEEN REJECTED SO FAR. BUT THERE IS STILL ACCESS TO FOOD FOR PEOPLE IN THE AREA AT THE NEARBY WINTHROP FOOD BANK. MIALE SAYS THE CHANGE MEANS HANNAFORD WILL NOW INCREASE THEIR DONATIONS OF FRESH MEAT AND FISH... BUT IT STILL LEAVES THE FATE OF THE EAST WINTHROP FOOD PANTRY UNCERTAIN. "we tell people don't worry, we'll be here, come back and now we can't make that promise to them which is disheartening." TAG THE NEW RULES FROM HANNAFORD GO INTO EFFECT MAY 1ST, SO THE CHURCH IS HOPING TO COME UP WITH A NEW SOURCE FOR DONATIONS BY THEN OR THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO KEEP SERVING IN THE SAME WAY.
