First.... "Tobias Boon" refers to TWO different people. John Tobias is the lead designer, and Ed Boon is the lead programmer. There is no person named "Tobias Boon", and if there is, this person has nothing to do with the creation of Mortal Kombat. And second, everyone already knows about this.

C'mon people, any true Mortal Kombat fan knows about Dan "Toasty"... by the way if you beat someone till it says 'danger' with sub-zero, then freeze them, Dan toasty pops up and says "frosty".

Actully, Noob Saibot is the strongest if you are an advanced player. John Tobias and Ed Boon are the Co-Creators. Untill John Tobais left Midway right after Deadly Alliance.

His name is not Dan Toasty. It's Dan Forden, the lead sound/music programmer for Mortal Kombat. Toasty is just a nickname for him.

Mr. John Tobias left us during the production of "MORTAL KOMBAT : SPECIAL FORCES" , thus that game crashed and burned. . . And thus lack of creativity on the remaining sequeals.

Zoë Kravitz says Lily Allen gave her a non-consensual kiss
Zoë Kravitz and her Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald co-star Eddie Redmayne appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Tuesday, November 13th, and it honestly felt like a middle school game of truth or dare (which is what Cohen's going for, no?).
During the call-in Q&A portion of the evening, a viewer asked the Big Little Lies star if Lily Allen had warned her she'd be writing about their 2014 kiss in her recent memoir My Thoughts Exactly. On a scale of 1 to Mariah Carey, Kravitz's shade went OFF. THE. CHARTS. She responded coyly, "Who's Lily Allen?"
The ever-diplomatic Redmayne interjected, "I love Lily Allen," but Kravitz wasn't having it. "No, you don't," she told her co-star, explaining that "if by 'kissing' she means, like, attacking, then yes, she kissed me. [She] attacked me." When asked by Cohen whether Allen portrayed the incident faithfully in her book, the actress said she didn't, telling the host it was written as though "I wanted it." Cohen followed up by asking Kravitz if she'd ever read Allen's memoir, to which she delivered the ultimate burn: "I don't think anybody read the book."
Ouch. That said, no one should be forced to kiss someone they do not want to. Leave it to Zoë to forever keep it 100.

This is coolbert:
From Russian Times [RT]:
"Russian navy boosted with new nuclear attack submarine"
"Russia's has received a New Year present with the hand-over of a cutting-edge nuclear attack submarine, the Severodvinsk"
. . . .
"The Severodvinsk is one of eight Yasen-class (Graney-class, according to NATO classification) attack subs ordered by the Russian navy."
"The second and third boats of the series, the Kazan and the Novosibirsk, are currently under construction and will feature an updated design."
Yasen is the correct designation for submarine according to Russian nomenclature? Graney is the NATO "classification".
Twenty years from the start of construction until the vessel actually launched and now operational. NOT necessarily combat ready however? Floating but that does equate to combat able?
During that twenty year period modifications and improvements were made to the basic design. and even more capable warship now exists than as originally envisioned?
I guess the consensus opinion would be [??], according to the experts, this class of Russian submarine superior to the best of the Los Angeles class American nuclear submarines, but to a degree inferior when compared to the most modern and advanced American submersibles, Seawolf and Virginia class.
To what extent "inferior" is the sixty-four thousand dollar question, as they say?
That Russian navy hoping to retain the redoubt system, Borei class intercontinental-range missile launching submarines while cruising in protected waters guarded most assiduously so by that new family and class of attack submarine?
All other classes of Russian submarines, hold-overs from the days of the now defunct Soviet Union taken out of commission and relegated to the scrap heap as a cost-saving measure?

I finally stopped where you see it now, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!! (See Jane Lee??? I splattered and used Washi Tape and EVERYTHING!!) My Artisan friends are REALLY rubbing off on me (in a good way!)!!

Media contact: Liz Brocker (701) 328-2213
BISMARCK, ND – Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem announced that the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota today issued a preliminary injunction blocking the proposed merger between Sanford Health and Mid Dakota Clinic until the Federal Trade Commission administrative hearing scheduled in January 2018.
North Dakota and the FTC alleged that the merger would substantially lessen competition for adult primary care, pediatric, obstetrics & gynecology, and general surgical services in the Bismarck-Mandan area, and cause significant harm to consumers. The magistrate judge held a four-day hearing on the joint motion for preliminary injunction, receiving over 1600 exhibits and hearing testimony from sixteen witnesses, before issuing today's order.
"Competition in the marketplace benefits consumers, including when that competition is for medical care," said Stenehjem. "I am very pleased with the Court's decision and feel confident that the Court recognized the potential negative consequences for patients in the Bismarck-Mandan area. Today's decision is in the best interests of the community."

[A] new service for patients referred to the orthopaedic service – where they see a physiotherapist in special clinics rather than a consultant surgeon – has become permanent after an eight month trial period.
In the integrated musculo-skeletal (iMSK) service (a collaboration of different health providers and commissioners across the area including University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) and Cumbria Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT)) clinically triaged patients are reviewed by a community based physiotherapy-led service, which has resulted in significant reductions in referrals to a surgeon for review.
Since its launch last December the new service has seen 507 new patients in community clinics at Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal and at Dalton, near Barrow-in-Furness, which have resulted in a significant reduction in referrals to an Orthopaedic surgeon.
Nigel Courtman, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon for UHMBT, said: "It is fantastic that the service is now permanent. You can see from the figures that the service has been a success.
"The iMSK service for patients living in Cumbria has been a long time coming. The concept is not new, and there are many well established services throughout the UK including a very successful one on our doorstep, based in Heysham.
"Many patients with musculoskeletal problems don't to see an Orthopaedic Surgeon as their first contact. A large part of their assessment and treatment can be based on physical therapy, and indeed many patients have up until now eventually ended up being treated by other medical professionals rather than undergoing an operation.
"Patients referred into the service are receiving a high quality service delivered by specialist physiotherapists who are able to diagnose, investigate and treat a multitude of conditions that do not require surgery.
"Patients are being seen in a quicker, timely, manner and the feedback we are receiving is excellent.
"This will also mean that patients who do need to be seen by a hospital specialist will be seen quicker."
James Geary, Advanced Physiotherapist for UHMBT within the iMSK service, said: "Patients are also getting more time with us in the iMSK setting compared to when they see a consultant, so potentially we can give them more advice on the complaint they've got which goes a long way in helping the patient manage the condition they have got."
Dee Houghton, Associate Director of Operations for South Community Services at CPFT, added: "This is another great example of how working together as one health system allows us to better meet the needs of local people. Innovative ways of working, like the iMSK service, help us to continually improve services and ensure we are providing the best possible patient care."
The new service has been developed as part of the Better Care Together strategy.
Better Care Together is the clinically led strategy for ensuring health and care services across Morecambe Bay can remain safe, are of a consistently high standard, and can be financially sustained not just for the next five years but well into the future.

Katie & Tom – our lovely bride & groom!
What a great way to spend a fabulously sunny Easter Sunday… getting married in style as Tom & Katie did!
Coombe Lodge in Blagdon – top Somerset wedding venue!!
We enjoyed a leisurely a trip over to sunny Somerset's vast wedding venue, Coombe Lodge in Blagdon. A vast stately home with views to die for – these views got even more dreamy when the sky became painted in blazing red for a stunning sunset. Those wedding photographs are going to be amazing… I can't wait to check them out on West Photography's website.
A good time was had by all!
The booth was really busy throughout the night as 150 fun loving wedding guests got into the spirit, loaded up with as many fancy dress props as they could carry and posed away to their hearts' content.
He wears it well … half the prop box to be exact!
A big apology to the poor man who attempted to wear about half the props box before being apprehended by our booth butler…me! Dopey me… I thought he was planning on doing 'a runner' with the props (as tends to happen from time to time) when all he was doing was dressing up for his big photo opportunity in the booth. I'm glad I didn't put him off! The pictures were great, as you can see!!
Congratulations and a big thank you to Tom & Katie for booking our white wedding photo booth for your evening! And a warm thank you for feeding my half starving partner Laurence with tasty offerings from your fantastic burger bar. The best burger he's eaten in a long time!!
All the pictures taken on the night can now be shared from our online gallery here – http://photos.yellowbooth.co.uk/event-photos/2015-04-05-tom-katies-wedding/

MISO and String Light
To me, borders have very much a two-fold meaning. They can be immensely prohibitive but incredibly creative at the same time. For me, in terms of my work and personally as an immigrant, borders can be tremendously cruel and horrific, but at the same time, as a creative person, borders can be very interesting because, creatively speaking, limitation can actually have great value. Sometimes creative constraint can provide a reference point for you to go up against and to rebel against

I was thinking about implementing MBAM also, but management wants the keys to be in active directory. Can you store the keys in a MBAM database as well as in active directory? My searches have given me conflicting information. Any help is much appreciated Ron

Introduction: FIX a SPLIT POLY PIPE
A split in a major poly water pipe is a big problem. There are three choices to my mind:
- Drag the pipe up and cut the split out then rejoin;
- Cut out a large section and insert a very expensive expanding joiner; or
- Weld the split and reinforce the pipe.
I could not drag up the pipe and the shops were shut. Bring on option three.
You will need a soldering iron and a piece of black poly or PVC bottle.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Heat Up Soldering Iron and Clean Out Split
First and most important is to have a hot soldering iron to work with. Heat torches and flame based irons will melt the underlying pipe causing distortion so should not be used. If it is very cold, use a space heater to keep area warm.
The split should be cleaned and if there is a lot of dirt or debris, flush with clean water and if necessary trim edges of split to ensure good adhesion between graft patch and pipe. A dry edge is a must for a successful finish.
Take your time with this step. If necessary go and get a cuppa to ensure that the surface is thoroughly dry. Steam can boil the patch up or off.
Step 2: Cut First Patch
The first patch is an arrow shape and is placed into the split to lock under the end of it to hold fast while melting the rest of the patch.
Step 3: Insert and Fix First Patch
Fully insert first patch and check it is secure.
heat patch at the end where the patch dips under the split edge.. I usually use the tip of the iron to create a small stress relief hole at this end of the split. Make sure that iron does not go completely through the pipe. Run the soldering iron back and forth to ensure patch is well melted and edges are fixed. If necessary to ensure a seal run iron tip in the same direction as split to create a furrow.
Step 4: Second and Third Patch
I worked with a person for whom I have great respect. He had a rule of 3. This rule has served me well so three patches............. Ensure that each patch is well seated before putting on the next. Run the iron back and forth until the patches are well homogenised. To ensure edges are stuck, drag iron just off the patches onto the poly and smooth out lumps. Be careful not to move too far off patched to prevent warping.
Step 5: All Fixed
Though not necessary, I wrapped an a self adhesive tape around the repair for sun and cold protection.
25 minutes work and zero dollars expended. I have solar power (LOL) :-)
This process can also be used for fixing poly water tanks, mower tanks and other poly type tanks, Just find a PET plastic bottle of the same or similar colour to hide repair.
CAUTION: if repairing a tank that could have or does contain a volatile liquid such as petrol, drain the tank and thoroughly rinse with detergent and water then leave to air dry. Repeat if necessary. Remember the 3 rule. If you are not sure the tank is free of vapours DO NOT attempt to repair it.

I totally understand what you did with the repair. However, I think I would have cut the damaged area out and replace it with a new pipe. And I understand weekends and stores closed as well. But if this were a regularly used pipe (daily use), it would seem that damage could wait for a day or two to get the repair pipe. A very temporary fix would be to seal over the crack via your ideas. But I would replace that section as soon as possible. And I would really be cautious if that pipe carries any amount of pressure. But good repair ideas for a quick fix all the same.
Thank you for your comments. I agree that if there is a high pressure a repair using a new piece of poly and joiner should be used. This join works well on low pressure pipe. I used this technique on a poly tank 2 years ago and it is still holding well. The pressure in this pipe is 8ft (23kPa.).
great job. no different to using a commercial plastic welder that uses air and a coil of replacement plastic. well done.
Thank you for your feed back. Really appreciate it

The miners at the UK's last remaining deep coal mine shed tears and sang as they emerged from underground from their final shift.
As they walked away from Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire for the last time, the miners hugged and shook hands with each other.
Many said they did not have new jobs to go to and said they were 'very sad' to see the end of a once-great industry.
Mr Walker, who has worked at Kellingley since 1988, said: 'Everybody was a bit sombre, a bit quiet, today. Everybody knew what was going to happen but nobody was really looking forward to it.'
He added: 'We've lost an entire industry, we've lost a way of life. Communities have been devastated over the last 30 years and haven't recovered.
'Margaret Thatcher did a great job.'
Today miners, their friends and family rallied together for a protest to mourn the death of the UK's mining industry – and the impact it will have on their community.

Neil Townend, 51, said: 'There's a few lads shedding tears, just getting all emotional. It's a bit sad really. I've been here 30 years, I don't know what to expect now, got to get another job. Life goes on.'
Nigel Kemp, 50, a banksman at the colliery, said the men went down in the cage on Friday morning singing Tom Jones's Delilah.
'This is what makes us very special, the mining community,' he said. 'It's great to work here because of the comradeship and friendship.'
Mr Kemp, who has worked at the mine for nearly 33 years, said the closure was especially poignant for him.
He will stay on for the next eight weeks to seal off the shafts that his father sank in 1959.

Richard Dobrowolski, 59, summed up the strength of feeling among the miners by showing off a tattoo of the colliery – known locally as the Big K – on his calf.
The tattoo features the letter K, the mine shafts, the phrase 'Coal Miner, Underground Brotherhood' and the dates 1979 and 2014.
Stephen Walker, 50, said: 'I'm sad at the end of the industry. I never thought I'd see this day come but it has, and times move on, and we have to now, and that's that.'
Wayne Chadburn, 46, who has worked in the mining industry for 27 years and at Kellingley for 12, said many of the miners were putting on a brave face.
He said: 'There was a bit of joviality. I think it's all put on, to be honest – go out with a bang. I don't think it's hit everybody yet.'
The miners left past noticeboards displaying adverts for job and retraining schemes. Another board had a picture of the colliery with the words 'closed for business' stamped across it.
Outside, fresh flowers had been laid on a memorial featuring the names of the miners who died in the pit and a 'For Sale' sign had been tied on to a road sign for the colliery.
Many of the miners said they were going to the pub for a drink to mark their last day.
On Saturday, thousands of miners are expected to descend on nearby Knottingley, in West Yorkshire, to take part in a short march to mark the closure before attending an event at Kellingley and Knottingley Miners Welfare Scheme Social Club.

Ahead of Clockenflap, Canadian band Alvvays talks Halloween costumes, and how they want their concerts to be more eco friendly
By Lauren James
Dressing up elaborately for Halloween has become an annual tradition for Molly Rankin and Kerri MacLellan of the Canadian band Alvvays. Speaking to Young Post more than two weeks before the spooky celebration, lead singer (and one of the guitarists) Rankin was anxious that things hadn't quite come together yet.
"We're been plotting for days now and we're very stressed out about this. We were thinking Kerri could be an alien and I could be her newborn baby alien with the umbilical cord still attached," said Rankin.
The band (pronounced "Always") will visit Asia for the first time next month when they perform at the Clockenflap music and arts festival, airing their two albums' worth of lo-fi indie pop against the Hong Kong skyline. Chatting over the phone during their down time in between shows, Rankin said fans should expect to hear the best of the band packed into their Saturday set.
Clockenflap 2018: Line-up for HK's premier music festival features Khalid and Interpol, plus lots of indie acts from Wolf Alice to Anpu
"There's definitely something to be said for trying to summarise yourself in the most concise way for a festival set in a place you've never been to before," she says.
She also had some more serious issues on her mind. This year's Clockenflap line-up is remarkable for including a greater representation of female artists than usually found on festival bills. Although still far from equal, it marks definite progress in the music industry's mindset when it comes to gender equality; progress that Rankin says has also extended backstage, to make playing live a friendlier experience for women in particular.
"There's been a shift in the crews working at festivals; it seems to be a bit more accommodating. I feel like less of a groupie playing at festivals now," she says.

However, Rankin adds, she is undecided on the notion of forcing line-ups to be split equally, or in any sort of tokenism – where acts are included simply because they're female. "A lot of the time you want to be booked on the strength of your music, not your gender," she says.
Rankin hails from Nova Scotia, a picturesque coastal province in eastern Canada, so the environment is another issue close to her heart. "There are a lot of environmental waste issues we see all the time that make our stomachs turn and make us feel guilty about the waste that goes into what we do," she says, adding that fixing the problems can be done in stages.
"It doesn't seem like a monumental, laborious thing to push on people. If we could get rid of bottled water at festivals, that would be amazing."

The band has barely stopped performing since the release of their second, critically lauded studio album, Antisocialities, in September last year. On leading tracks such as the sparkling Dreams Tonite, the five-piece add a little polish to the sound they created on their self-titled debut, but the group was adamant they wanted to retain some of their original grit.
"With our latest record, we had access to a lot of frequencies [soundwaves] we didn't [use]on the previous one. There are more degraded sounds on Antisocialites than there are on the first one, in some sense. I don't want to make a pristine pop or rock record because … it's nice to offset pop with noise," she said.
As the group's main songwriter, Rankin has found that isolating herself helps ideas flow when conjuring ideas for new tracks.
"I usually set up everything I like in one room: I have my favourite keyboard, amp, mixing board and PA," she said. "Then I play, then go for a walk or a bike ride and listen to my favourite music and do that for several days. Talk to no one; feel feelings."
Alvvays will perform on Saturday. For tickets, head to clockenflap.com

book review: Impressions of Paris
Posted by Amy Steele in Books on August 3, 2017
Impressions of Paris by Cat Seto. Harper Design| April 2017| 176 pages | $19.99| ISBN: 9780062493071
A lovely adult picture book. The perfect gift for someone who appreciates art and beautiful things. Cat Seto sketches her way through museums, cafes, gardens, bookstores and the streets of Paris. Recalling her time in Paris through watercolor illustrations, she divides the book into four chapters: color; pattern; perspective and rhythm. There's a reason so many creative types find inspiration in Paris. Culture, art, architecture. There's art in everything from the buildings to the food to the streets to the fashion and to the residents.
Seto shares her personal experiences and connections to Paris as well as various art principles. It's a combination memoir and art class within these pages. My strongest memories of Paris include chocolate crepes, art museums and impressive buildings. And eating Chocolat chaud and French bread for breakfast every morning.
On Le Boutique de Saint-Paris: "I have sketchbooks filled with etchings of flowers, and many a pattern has emerged from these tiny discoveries." On Jardin des Plantes: "I was going to visit the Jardin des Plantes for only a few minutes. I instead spent days there, sketching among all the wanderers, art students, and schoolchildren." Whether you've visited Paris or long to visit, this striking book provides a wonderful examination of the artistic sensibility that attracts so many artists, authors and musicians to the City of Light.
Cat Seto is a San-Francisco-based artist and the founder and creative director of the stationary collection Ferme a Papier. She holds a BFA in painting and an MFA in fiction/creative writing from the University of Michigan.

FTC Disclosure: I received this book for review from Harper Collins.
STEELE INTERVIEWS: author Jennie Fields
Posted by Amy Steele in Books, Interview on September 16, 2012
Jennie Fields is the author of The Age of Desire, a novel that imagines the details of the affair between Pulitzer-prize winning author Edith Wharton and journalist Morton Fullerton when Edith was 45 years old. The affair took place mostly in Paris. It ultimately affected Edith's relationship with her husband Teddy Wharton and her best friend and literary secretary Anna Bahlmann. The Age of Desire is told through Edith's and Anna's eyes.
Fields received an MFA in creative writing from the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop and is the author of three other novels, Lily Beach, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry and The Middle Ages. An Illinois native, she spent many years as an advertising creative director in New York and currently lives with her husband in Nashville, Tennessee. Jennie spoke with me by phone last week. Read more information on her website.
Amy Steele: When did you first become interested in Edith Wharton?
Jennie Fields: I was probably in my early 20s when I first discovered her and the minute I did, I felt this tremendous kinship with her. Her books thrilled me and I never tire of reading them and rereading them. I discover something new. There's always something new. Now you can get e-books that haven't been in print for years through the Guttenberg Project. I never ever run out of new things to learn from her work.
Amy Steele: Your agent gave you this idea for this novel when you were in Paris.
Jennie Fields: It's all true. It's one of those aha moments.
Amy Steele:She suggested you write about your favorite author Edith Wharton but how did you decide what to write about?
Jennie Fields: I knew only vaguely about her life at that point. I knew she'd had an affair. I immediately got every book I could find about her—there were a number of biographies. I just started reading everything. I narrowed down a part of her life. I clearly wanted to write about her relationship with Fullerton because not only were the letters available but her love diary was available. There was one part of her life where she wrote a diary on a daily basis where you could really get a sense of what she was going through.
Then I had a sense that you needed to see her from the outside as well. I decided I wanted a secondary character. I identified Anna Bahlmann and no one had really written anything about her. She clearly was important to Edith. She was with her for years on and off. It was serendipity that her letter came up for auction. I went to my computer and put in Anna Bahlmann and that week at Christie's, letters that had been in an attic for over 100 years, that nobody had read from Edith to Anna, were going to auction. What a thrill. I ran over to Christie's. They let me look at the letters. Everything I'd surmised about the relationship was true. It gave me insight into how Anna fit into Edith's life. I loved that there was a counter-relationship not just with Morton (Fullerton) but with someone who loved Edith more than Morton ever did.
Edith couldn't have been an easy person to live with. By many accounts Edith was very imperious and difficult. She was up against a world where women didn't succeed and she was determined to succeed. Anna was a good way to look at that.
Amy Steele: I was confused with the finances in the novel. Edith married Teddy for money at the beginning but then he stole from her trust fund later on.
Jennie Fields: The majority of the money that built the Mount and that Teddy stole from was money from her books. She was tremendously successful with her books. People don't really recognize how successful she was. Really stunningly successful. She had way more money than him. [Teddy] was never a wealthy man; he was just an appropriate man.
Amy Steele: That's too bad because she should have married Walter Berry.
Jennie Fields: She really should have married Walter. And when you read the House of Mirth you know that Selden is based on Walter. He's just a penniless lawyer. He clearly loved her but didn't declare himself and he wasn't wealthy enough. And when he was, she was married to Teddy Wharton.
Amy Steele: She did divorce Teddy.
Jennie Fields: She finally divorced Teddy, in 1911 or 1912, at Walter's behest because he was so dangerous.
Amy Steele: Sounded like a manic-depressive with no treatment.
Jennie Fields: They said he had gout in the head. And hot springs was all they could recommend.
Amy Steele:Amy: So I've read A Backward Glance but no biographies on Edith Wharton.
Jennie Fields: What's interesting about A Backward Glance is it's how Edith wants others to view her. She cut out Anna. She said she taught herself everything and no one encouraged her to read. Now we know from these letters that Anna saved that Anna encouraged her to read all the time. Even her parents were much more encouraging of her as a writer than she ever let on. She wanted people to believe she was born from her own power and that nobody encouraged her. It really wasn't true.
Amy Steele: What do you really like about Edith Wharton?
Jennie Fields: The thing that draws me to her is that she always writes about people who are caught in the net of society's expectations. They fight against that and often they don't win.
A good example of that is Lily Barth [The House of Mirth]. One of the reasons why that book is so beautiful is that the tragedy of it is it's her better nature that kills her. If she was a better person she would have gone ahead and married someone wealthier. She was too bright and too good to marry these wretched people.
And Newland Archer in Age of Innocence. He is told he is supposed to marry May and stay with May and he falls in love with Countess Ellen Olenska. It's not what he's slated to do. But he can't fight society. He's exhausted and can't fight society.
But Edith herself was told she couldn't do what she wanted to do and she did it anyway. The only thing she never succeeded at was love until she was 45 years old. Of course how well did she succeed but at least she found passion.
Amy Steele: Do you think Edith was that insecure in her relationship with Morton Fullerton? It was so uncomfortable reading some of it.
Jennie Fields: Those were her real letters and if you read the diary and the letters just on their own you will find how she was tremendously insecure and she really abased herself in front of this man who was not worthy of her. It's painful to read but it's the truth. There were moments when it was hard to write that book because I had to make Edith less heroic. She also didn't sleep with him for a very long time. Probably longer than I'd like to go with fictionally but I had to go with the truth.
A: She wrote such strong female characters. Vulnerable but strong.
Jennie Fields: It's true. Her mother never made her feel she was attractive in any way which I think made her prey to his interest in her. She was extremely girlish in her figure. Had gorgeous hair and had tremendous bearing. She held her back straight, her neck long. And she was tall for that era.
Amy Steele: what do you think attracted her to Morton?
Jennie Fields: He was extremely charming, very intelligent and very attractive. He had lovers of both sexes who could hardly say goodbye to him and he kept the letters to prove it. He must have been incredibly charming. She'd never had anybody pursue her like that before. She was pretty intimidating as a woman. A lot of men were not attracted to a very intelligent woman. He was attracted to her, he wanted her. He paid attention to her. And that was pretty heady stuff to her.
Amy Steele: What do you think Morton saw in her?
Jennie Fields: She was older, successful. He was drawn to success, fortune, fame. He saw her as a mark.
Amy Steele: Why hasn't much been written about Anna (Bahlmann) up until now?
Jennie Fields: Anna said in a letter to her friends and to her family that all she wanted in her life was to make Edith's life easier. I started to wonder why Edith would say in one summer 'I can't function without Anna. Where is Anna?' and then the following summer she sent her away and then she sent her away again. I had to make my own conjectures.
Amy Steele: How fun is it to do that?
Jennie Fields: Well it makes a whole cloth for those who want to read it. So I really enjoy that but I want to tread lightly and carefully because I don't want to misinterpret things. I wish the whole story were there and I could tell it exactly as it was but I can't. I have to create scenes that make you understand why something may have happened.
Amy Steele: What was your greatest challenge in writing this novel?
Jennie Fields: Trying to tell a story that was as close to history as possible but trying to make you feel it. Sometimes I had to create my own answers and had to make sure it was credible. It's so telling that she could be so powerful in the world but in the face of love she was really cut down.
Amy Steele: From the novel it sounds like she left The Mount and became an ex-pat and wanted to live in Paris.
Jennie Fields: That's what happened. They built The Mount and they ended up moving to the suburbs of Paris and she won the French Legion of Honor for what she did during WWI and was buried in Versailles. She spent the rest of her life in Paris. I think she believed that American life was stifling and so prescribed that there was no room for her especially after she divorced Teddy. She was afraid to go back to America. By the 20s things have changes tremendously and she went to Yale University to get an award and it was her last trip to America. She just thought it was provincial.
Amy Steele: How was she able to write about New York society so well?
Jennie Fields: In The Age of Innocence she writes about society in the 1870s so it's the past. She asked her friends what was going on. But a lot of her later stuff she's conjecturing and that might be why it's not as popular because it's probably not as accurate.

book review: The Last Nude
Posted by Amy Steele in Books on January 22, 2012
The Last Nude , by Ellis Avery. Publisher: Riverhead (January, 2011). Literary fiction. Hardcover, 320 pg.
The Last Nude transports the reader to 1920s Paris and the expat art world. It's an impressive work of historical fiction as the place and the characters become so vivid and recognizable to the reader. This makes The Last Nude a book you are hesitant to put down. It's immensely engrossing.
Above my desk I have a small framed print of Tamara de Lempicka's "My Portrait," in which she sits at the wheel of a bright green car in a gray hat, gray scarf and bright red lipstick. I also have "Saint Moritz"—a striking woman wearing a red and white turtleneck ski sweater. I've always been drawn to these art deco paintings. The colors, the attitude, the soft edges. All very appealing. So when I saw The Last Nude by Ellis Avery, I knew I had to read it. I wasn't disappointed.
Avery's descriptions of Paris are elegant and magical, yet also gritty. The reader should be enraptured by Paris. How can one not? It's such an artistic, fashionable, beautiful city. I stayed in Paris for some time, many years ago and a novel as descriptive as this one brings everything right back to me in full color. It's a true delight. Avery focuses on many ex-pats like Sylvia Beach, James Joyce, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Peripheral characters include the Seine and Sylvia Beach's famed bookstore Shakespeare and Company.
The Last Nude imagines an affair between Tamara de Lempicka and one of her models– the one who sat for "The Dream" and "Beautiful Rafaela." She's a young woman of 17, recently arrived in Paris, naive to the ways of the art world and the excessiveness of the 1920s as well. Tamara seduces Rafaela and Rafaela falls quickly and intensely in love with Tamara. Of course artists can be selfish and cruel but Rafaela gives her whole heart before learning about Tamara's shortcomings. This is a novel about the roaring, stylish 20s, art, survival, love and betrayal.
I marveled as I pulled the brown dress over my head. Sleek fashion plate, focused artist, resplendent lover, competent mother: I had seen four Tamaras in two days.
When Tamara finds Rafaela she's turning tricks and surviving by any means necessary—in most cases trading her body for dinners, food, gifts. She's a stunning young woman but also naïve and impressionable. She admires Tamara's independence [or seemingly so because later we find out that Tamara, as most artists of the time, had a benefactor], talent and sexual freedom. Rafaela quickly becomes obsessed with Tamara and believes they're in a mutually exclusive relationship. But it's the twenties and Tamara is an artist. Who is Tamara really? Rafaela doesn't find this out until later.
The Last Nude resonates with and enthusiastic first love and the reality of supporting oneself as an artist. In imagining the liaison between artist and muse, Ellis Avery crafts an engulfing novel. She makes life in the 1920s pop from the pages.

STEELE INTERVIEWS: author Caroline Preston
Posted by Amy Steele in Books, Interview on November 13, 2011
Amy Steele: Why did you want to write a story in the scrapbook format?
Caroline Preston: I like to say the idea of making a scrapbook novel was 40 years in the making. As a little girl, I used to pour over my grandmother's flapper scrapbook filled with dance cards, letters from old boyfriends, ocean liner tickets, and even long curls snipped when she got her hair bobbed.
My first three novels were what I guess you'd call "conventional" format—i.e. just words. My third novel Gatsby's Girl was inspired by the meticulous scrapbook F. Scott Fitzgerald kept about his first love, Ginevra King—her first note to him, her handkerchief, and a newspaper clipping about her marriage to another man. Later he would turn the story of his unrequited crush into The Great Gatsby.
When I was casting around for the idea for my fourth novel, I wanted to create something that was as visual and powerful as a scrapbook. And then I had a crazy idea—why not make a novel that WAS a scrapbook. Not a digital scrapbook, but a real one made of real stuff that I cut up with scissors and pasted together with glue.
Amy Steele: What came first—the story or the memorabilia?
Caroline Preston: I started with my character, Frankie Pratt, and the outlines of her story, which was set in the 1920's. I imagined an 18-year-old girl who wanted to become a writer and her journey which would take her to Vassar, Greenwich Village, and Paris.
Then I hunted down and bought all the things that a girl like Frankie would glue in her scrapbook—postcards, movie tickets, Vassar report cards, menus, sheet music, fashion spreads, popular magazines, a New York subway map, a Paris guidebook, and of course love letters. In all, I collected over 600 pieces of vintage 1920's ephemera.
Amy Steele: How did the memorabilia dictate the story?
Caroline Preston: Frankie's story changed and evolved as I found surprising things—for example an original book cover for The Sun Also Rises. The book caused a huge fuss in Paris when it came out in 1926 because everyone recognized the characters, and she would be right there to bear witness.
Amy Steele: Why did you choose to set Frankie's story in the 1920s?
Caroline Preston: Like a lot of people, I have a romantic obsession with the 1920's when very aspect of life (especially for women) was turned upside down and reinvented. Women cut off their hair and hemlines, got the vote, went to work, and felt freed from Victorian behavior codes. Writing Frankie Pratt was a chance for me to indulge in some lovely time travel.
Amy Steele: How would you describe Frankie Pratt? What do you like best about her?
Caroline Preston: When the book opens in 1920, Frankie is an 18-year-old girl living in a remote New Hampshire village. She has ambitions for herself—she wants to go to college and become a writer—and is able to overcome financial hardships to get herself to Vassar. After college, she heads off to Greenwich Village and Paris on her own to follow her dreams. I love her contradictions—gutsy, wildly romantic (which results in a few bad choices), unwilling to take no for an answer, but also a sensible and principled Yankee girl at heart.
Amy Steele: Where did you get a lot of the things featured in the scrapbook?
Caroline Preston: I had a surprising number of 1920's items in my own collection of vintage paper. I stopped at every roadside antique store and junk shop I passed—from Mississippi, Virginia, New York and Illinois. (My favorite store is Whiting's Old Paper in Mechanicsville, Va.) And also over 300 items from eBay—so many that my mailman complained.
Amy Steele: What did you like about working as an archivist?
Caroline Preston: As an archivist, I sifted through trunks and boxes of old family papers. It reminded me of hunting through the attic of the house I grew up in.
Amy Steele: How did you transition to writing?
Caroline Preston: I didn't start writing until I was 40 and had had my third child. I'd worked as an archivist for 15 years, and wanted to turn some of those fabulous stories I'd unearthed into fiction. My husband, the writer Chris Tilghman, encouraged me to give it a try. A year later, I finished my first novel, Jackie by Josie.
13 rue Therese: book review
Posted by Amy Steele in Books on February 5, 2011
13 rue Therese, by Elena Mauli Shapiro. Publisher: Reagan Arthur Books (February 2, 2011). Fiction, 288 pages. Hardcover.
13 rue Therese is a whimsical blend of historical artifacts and illusion that's truly complicated to adequately describe. It's rather quixotic as the main character, Parisian Louise Brunet becomes defined by an American scholar named Trevor Stratton through a box of letters and mementos he finds in his office. Stratton imagines Brunet as a woman who made poor decisions and now finds herself settled in a marriage that fails to excite her. She's artistic and often selfish. She flirts with her new married neighbor, inadvertently seduces her teenage piano student and sometimes resists urges to escape her suffocating life and sometimes acts upon them. It's all as imagined by this American. One has to wonder what the female perspective would add here. The box that Mr. Stratton finds has been left by his secretary who has tested several other potential partners in the same manner. I appreciate the concept and design of 13 rue Therese. I also admire author Elena Mauli Shapiro's intentions. I just wish she'd pushed herself a bit further. Perhaps it's the jarring usage of footnotes that removes me too far from the story. Shapiro also changes often from first to third-person story-telling perhaps in an intentional manner to make the desires and actions of the characters that much more mysterious. The modern language describing moments in Louise's life doesn't fit the time period [between WWI and WWII]. While inherently charming and creative, 13 rue Therese lacks a certain je ne c'est pas.
DVD reivew: Cheri
Posted by Amy Steele in DVD on October 20, 2009
Title: Cheri
Director: Stephen Frears
Written by: Christopher Hampton [based on novel by Colette]
Starring: Michelle Pfeiffer, Rupert Friend, Kathy Bates
Running time: 93 min.
Release date: October 20, 2009
Film Company: Miramax
Review source: Click Communications
Rating: C+
A good body lasts a long time. Everyone knows that.
Cheri is my least favorite work by Colette. But Colette can write wonderful stories and this film could have worked particularly with Michelle Pfeiffer back in a Dangerous Liaisons-type role. It is a period film, set before WWI in Paris, when courtesans held the power. Lea [Pfeiffer] is a well-known courtesan to the rich and famous and has been living a luxurious, richly fitting lifestyle for years. Now she's facing a time [or AGE] when she feels that she might retire. One of her old rivals, played with sufficient bitterness and contempt by Kathy Bates, asks Lea to take her son Cheri and "teach him" about women. The 19-year-old Cheri and Lea fall in love and stay together for six years until Cheri's mother decides it's time for Cheri to have children and she arranges his marriage to a daughter of another courtesan. Unfortunately Lea and Cheri are obsessed with each other. Lea wants to remain young and Cheri refuses to take on grown up responsibilities.
The male narrator detracts from the female power of the courtesans, particularly Lea. Cheri is visually stunning with verdant gardens and lovely ornate costumes. Cheri is a bit too melodramatic. Pfeiffer holds her own and she's gorgeous and regal in every scene. There's little chemistry between Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend [Cheri]. Pfeiffer fills the screen and is too overpowering for Friend. He lacks the experience to rise to her acting talent even in this poorly scripted film.
Cheri needed a much better script and a different younger actor as Cheri to make it work.

film review: Coco Avant Chanel
Posted by Amy Steele in Film on October 14, 2009
Coco Avant Chanel is a stunning film and an inspirational story about a young Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel [Audrey Tautou] and the impetus for her foray into the male-dominated world of fashion design. She and her sister are left at an orphanage by their father as young girls. Fifteen years later, the duo makes money singing and dancing in bars. Coco dreams of moving to Paris. Her sister [Marie Gillain] falls in love with a Duke and moves to Paris with him. Left on her own, Coco travels to the home of Etienne Balsan [Benoît Poelvoorde] who fancied her despite the intense sparring. He is wealthy and breeds and trains race horses. When he entertains guests, he keeps Coco hidden. Coco will not bind herself with an uncomfortable corset as is the fashion at the time. She prefers to wear comfortable clothing. One day she decides to teach herself to ride a horse. Instead of riding side saddle like all the other women, she rides astride. She dresses like a boy a lot of the time. And with her un-made up face and lack of bobbles and jewels, she looks fresh and different from everyone else. She soon ends up socializing with Balsan's friends and becomes close friends with an actress. Coco starts to make hats that everyone wants. The pivotal moment for Coco is when she falls deeply in love with an Englishman, Arthur Capel [Alessandro Nivola]. However, he is keeping something from her and Balsan is all too eager to reveal it out of spite. Balsan tries to control an uncontrollable Coco and Capel recognizes her artistic talents and independent spirit. That is why he adores her so much. Coco declares that she never intends to marry anyone [and never does]. She tells Balsan one day that she plans to move to Paris. He scoffs and says that it is silly and she will not be able to support herself. Capel on the other hand encourages her entrepreneurial attitude and will lend her the money she needs to start a design shop.
Audrey Tautou [who most remember for the sprite, cheerful Amelie] shows depth, intensity and determination in this role. You cannot take your eyes off of her beauty and strength as Coco for one moment. She is the young and determined, scrappy Coco Chanel who intends to make a name for herself. She triumphs over many obstacles and tragedies. As Capel, Nivola is handsome, charming and irresistible. And a triple threat—an American known for indie roles [Junebug, Laurel Canyon], his period British characters [Mansfield Park], now acts in perfect French in a French film. His chemistry with Tautou is electric from the moment they make eye contact. At one point she even tells her now lover Capel, that he could have married a celebrity but he chose money instead. What a strong woman. Coco Chanel is a role model. Under the direction of Anne Fontaine, Coco Avant Chanel is stunningly shot. Each scene is beautifully crafted and planned. I didn't want the film to end. I adored every moment of Coco's journey to the final scene where she exhibits her first clothing collection that features the signature Chanel suit. If you can see Coco Avant Chanel in the theatre, do so. These independent films that represent small works of love and art are few and far between.

Active e-Book is one of the best (definitely the best in its price range) ebook creation applications available.
In this rapidly evolving industry I'm curious (as well as others) if version 5 will be released sometime before the end of the year? No need to be too specific because I can appreciate the competive edge in keeping key information away from competitors.
Sunil, will there be a version 5?
