For more than a decade, Priscilla Lollar struggled to face the realization that her son had been killed in a brawl outside an Atlanta nightclub.
But these days, her emotions are raw again, as one of the men charged in the slaying — Baltimore Ravens star Ray Lewis — attracts national attention for his impending retirement and the team's playoff run.
The brawl in the early morning hours of Jan. 31, 2000, left two young men from Akron, Ohio, dead from stab wounds. Lewis and two acquaintances were charged with murder, but the charge against Lewis was reduced to a less serious one in a plea deal, and his co-defendants were acquitted.
Lewis, who might be playing his last game Saturday, will retire after the playoffs as the most popular Raven in team history. But his legacy — Super Bowl MVP, one of the National Football League's best linebackers, two-time defensive player of the year — will include the footnote of the murder charges. Fans of opposing teams have taunted him by calling him a murderer, and some in the news media are discussing the case again.
Hyperbole over the incident has lessened, but may never fade. News outlets, including National Public Radio, the Orlando Sentinel and the popular sports website Deadspin, have written about it recently in light of Lewis' retirement. Opinions cover a wide spectrum, from those who say Lewis should no longer be tied to the murders to those who say the crime victims should not be forgotten.
Lewis and his teammates have said the experience matured him and made him eager to give back to the community. "Not only did it have a profound effect on the player he became, but it had a profound effect on the person he became," former teammate Shannon Sharpe said, noting Lewis' charitable work.
Lewis would not comment Thursday when asked about the incident. His trial attorney, Max Richardson, said this week that it should be left in the past because his client's name was cleared.
But if Lewis will be remembered as a hero by many fans in Baltimore and around the nation — his No. 52 has been the top-selling NFL jersey recently — in Akron, Priscilla Lollar tries to move on without thinking about him.
"I never did acknowledge [my son] being dead until last year," she said this week. "I wouldn't have wanted to live. I always felt that he was in Atlanta and he would be home soon and would call me soon. It was like that for years."
The Lollars have not been able to watch Lewis play on TV, and they maintain that his money and power gave him an advantage at trial.
"How can you understand something that is senseless?" Priscilla Lollar said. "There was no justice in anything. ..."
Thirteen years ago this month, Lewis and his friends were celebrating at a posh nightclub after Super Bowl XXXIV, won by the St. Louis Rams over the Tennessee Titans.
The group included Joseph Sweeting, 34, a music producer and promoter whom Lewis knew from his time at the University of Miami, and Reginald Oakley, 31, a former barber from Baltimore.
Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker, childhood friends who had moved from Akron to the Atlanta area, were also partying at the Cobalt Lounge.
The two groups spilled out onto the streets about 3:30 a.m., and a member of Baker and Lollar's group traded words with Oakley.
"A Moet bottle smashed into the side of my head. ... I swung and he swung back and all hell broke loose around us," Oakley wrote in "Memories of Murder," a self-published book whose account mirrors trial testimony about the start of the street fight.
Amid the brawl, Lollar and Baker were stabbed and bled to death on the street. Someone fired shots at Lewis' limo as his group sped away.
Police arrested Lewis before the day was over, and the linebacker cried as he was read his rights.
Priscilla Lollar remembers her son as a creative child who liked to draw and sing. The oldest of nine, he was a talented barber whose brothers and sisters looked up to him, she said.
Years later, murder case still echoes for Ray Lewis, families

Political leaders, investors and ordinary people Thursday welcomed the end of a U.S. government shutdown but already were looking ahead to the next round of a budget battle that brought the world's biggest economy close to default and threatens Washington's international standing.
The deal approved late Wednesday by Congress, with hours to go before the government reached its $16.7 trillion debt limit, only permits the Treasury to borrow through Feb. 7 and fund government through Jan. 15. The International Monetary Fund appealed to Washington for more stable long-term management of the nation's finances.
The standoff rattled global markets and threatened the image of U.S. Treasury debt as a risk-free place for governments and investors to store trillions of dollars in reserve. Few expected a default but some investors sold Treasurys over concern about possible payment delays and put off buying stocks that might be exposed to an American economic downturn.
IMF managing director Christine Lagarde welcomed the deal but said the shaky American economy needs more stable long-term finances.
"It will be essential to reduce uncertainty surrounding the conduct of fiscal policy by raising the debt limit in a more durable manner," Lagarde said in a statement.
The Tokyo stock market, Asia's heavyweight, gained 0.8 percent Thursday. Markets in South Korea, Australia and Southeast Asia also rose.
Such relief might be only temporary without a long-term settlement, said Standard Chartered economist Samiran Chakraborty in Mumbai.
"In three months' time, this could be back again," said Chakraborty. "If this kind of pushing it back happens several times, then this comfort that the markets had over the last 20 days that a deal will be reached, that comfort may now be dead."
Also, the congressional cliffhanger might dent longer-term confidence in American government debt, a cornerstone of global credit markets, prompting creditors to demand higher interest.
"With the U.S. government's antics, the risks go up, so the cost of money could go up too," said Nick Chen, managing partner of Taipei law firm Pamir Law Group.
Big Asian exporters including China and South Korea also faced the risk of a slump in global demand if a U.S. default had disrupted other economies.
China's government, Washington's biggest foreign creditor with $1.3 trillion invested in Treasurys, welcomed the end to the standoff.

Eilte tequila can be a world away from hangovers and belly-button shots. Here's everything you need to know about this misunderstood spirit.
Unless you spent your university years being a stick-in-the-mud, the word 'tequila' probably brings back scattered memories of debaucherous nights or evokes an involuntary stomach lurch. The mere suggestion of a tequila shot might send a shiver down your spine, but lime and salt knock-backs aside, tequila has a lot to offer. Here's our bluffer's guide to get you started on what you should know about the spirit:
A word to the wise: no matter how much tequila you've had, unless you're Mexican, there's no excuse for calling everyone 'mi hombre'.
Tequila or Mezcal
This clear white liquor is made from a plant called agave. The juice is extracted from the heart of the plant and distilled twice before it is ready to be consumed. The interesting thing though is that most of what is considered tequila might not be the real deal. In all likelihood it is mezcal.
So what's the difference?
Tequila and Mezcal are both made from the juice of the agave plant. There are over 200 varieties of agave, but tequila can only be produced from one – the Blue Agave Tequilana Weber. The plant takes between 5-10 years to be ready for harvest and the heart or 'piña' is the only part used in production.
To be branded 'tequila', the spirit must be produced in specific areas of a few designated Mexican states. (For information's sake that's Jalisco, Gunajuato, Nayarit, Tamalipas and Michocan. Good luck remembering that). The distilled agave liquor made in other parts of Mexico is Mezcal. So all tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila. Getit?
Tequila types
Four categories of tequila you should know about:
Blanco (white) / Plata (silver): Aged less than 60 days in stainless steel tanks.
Joven (young)/ Oro (gold): Unaged white tequila that is coloured with caramel.
Reposado (rested): Aged in wooden barrels for a minimum of two months but less than a year.
Añejo (aged): Aged in oak barrels for a minimum of one year but not more than three years.
The Worm Myth
The whole worm-in-a-tequila-bottle thing is no ancient tradition. In fact only mezcal is bottled with a worm. Sometime around 1950 a mezcal producer used it as a marketing gimmick and the gringos lapped it up. The 'tequila worm' is actually a butterfly larva with a penchant for the agave plant. Sometimes a few of them would get roasted with the piña, the Mexicans said 'Protein is good', and mezcal con gustano (with worm) became a rite of passage into adulthood.
Name drop
The best tequila brands available in India:
Patrón: Patrón is an ultra-premium tequila brand. Apart from the Silver, Reposado and Anejo, the XO Café is an extraordinary blend of Patrón Silver tequila and coffee.
Tequila Corralejo: Another premium brand, Corralejo has been produced in Guanajuato, Mexico since 1775. All Corralejo tequilas are made with 100% Blue Weber agave, and then slow cooked the old-fashioned way in stone clay ovens for 27 hours to capture the full flavour of the agave hearts.
Jose Cuervo: Going by statistics Jose Cuervo Gold is the most popular tequila brand to shoot. Not as pricy as Patrón or Corralejo, but still relatively smooth on the palate.
Other brands that deserve a mention: Sauza Gold and Don Julio
Beware the morning after:
We can write endlessly about how tequila should be sipped, but let's face it, some nights just deserve a tequila shot. So for the 'shooters', my sympathies, and some tips to make it better:
1. If you're doing it at all, do it right. The correct order for the classic tequila shot is salt, tequila and then lime. Lick, Sip, Suck.
2. The 100 percent agave tequilas are the smoothest and 'least hangover inducing', if there is such a thing. If you're going for shots, stay away from the blends.
3. To avoid hugging your toilet at the end of a party night, space your shots and down a glass of water between every two shots.
4. 'One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor' – sound familiar? There's a reason George Carlin's quote has become an anthem. No matter how great the quality of the tequila, too many shots in a night will have you hating the world and everything in it the next morning.
Classic tequila cocktails:
The Perfect Margarita
The most widely known tequila cocktail, the classic margarita (Spanish for daisy) has spawned hundreds of variations.
1.5 oz tequila
1 oz triple sec
1/2 oz lime or lemon juice
Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice. Shake, strain, and pour into a salt-rimmed margarita glass. Garnish with a lime. For a frozen margarita, blend all the ingredients with mixed ice and serve.
The most popular tequila cocktail in Mexico, the Paloma (which means 'dove' in Spanish) is refreshing and incredibly easy to whip up.
2 oz tequila blanco (silver)
5-6 oz grapefruit soda
Juice of half a lime
Pinch of salt
Combine the tequila, lime juice, and a pinch of salt into a highball glass. Add ice and top with grapefruit soda. Stir gently.
Tequila Sunrise
The coloured layers of this cocktail make it the perfect tropical drink. If the palm trees and sandy beaches are out of reach, it still works pretty well.
2 oz tequila
4 oz orange juice
½ oz grenadine
Pour the tequila and the orange juice into a highball glass with ice cubes. Slowly pour the grenadine around the inside edge of the glass, it will sink and slowly rise to mix with the other ingredients naturally. Garnish with an orange slice and Maraschino cherry.

Plot: When the young, shy and clumsy Bella moves to a small town in Italy, she stumbles upon the handsome and mysterious cousins Marco and Damion. But nothing is as it seems, even her own identity is a secret.
(Headers were created by Rachel :))
Love....Desire....Passion....Lust! To feel wanted and to feel loved, to feel appreciated and protected. To feel like I belonged somewhere, where I was not judged, not looked down on, but respected. Those were the thoughts that ran through my mind, as I stared into Damion's saddened blue eyes. The hue in his blue eyes, seemed to be dilated, from the sadness and concern, it send cold shivers down my spine.
"Please go.....run." he said, his voice was breaking. It tugged at my heart strings. I tried to move, follow his urgent orders, but my feet were stuck to the floor, like I was paralyzed, I could not force my self to move away from him. Nor did I want to.
"No...I can't leave you....Damion please...I beg of you." I cried out,as I gripped onto his arm softly. His strong, toned and tanned arm, my grip was soft against his cool and flawless skin. My nails dag into his skin gently in an elegant way, my hand trembled from fear, from being parted and from not seeing him again. I could not bring that pain on my self or him. It was impossible.
"You have to." he said as his hands cupped my cheeks in his hands softly, I let my self melt into his touch and I closed my eyes, suppressing the tears that wanted to escape from my eyes, but they escaped and spilled over my cheeks and ran down his hands as well "I love you, never forget that." he said as he brushed his plump lips against my own softly, in a tender yet passionate kiss. The minty aftertaste of his lips, lingered on mine as I gripped onto his white t-shirt, trying to pull my self closer to him, in desperation.
"I will come for you....one day! We will be together again." he said, as he pressed his lips to my forehead, as I closed my eyes, feeling frail and fragile. Just as my alarm went off and I woke up from the strange dream, I ran my fingertip over my lip and I sighed softly.
Who was that handsome, stranger? I knew, I never met him before in my life, so why would I dream of someone I do not know? It didn't seem to make any sense to me, unless it wasn't just a dream. But a memory.
Views: 568
What a difficult situation! I guess jealousy can really make you nasty! What else will Bella have to discover about the people around her and about herself? Can't wait to read more!
Yes, Bella is in a bit of sticky situation now.And getting blamed for the curse when she is trying to help break it. Things are getting bit twisted, and she has a lot to learn yet.
This good so far :)
I like it
Thank you :) glad you liked it
Chapter 7
I stared at Marco, as I kept the cloth pressed to his bleeding hand and blinked as his young facade disappeared. "Did you just do that?" I asked looking at him; I thought his power or concentration allowed me to see his younger self too.
"Do what?" he asked confused, it was clear he had no idea I saw him as his younger self. Maybe I was just going crazy.
I shook my head, as if to tell him not to worry about it. As I looked into his eyes and the warmth filled my entire body from us being so close. Another memory flashed into my head, but it was of a different life this time. Which surprised me, like it did not allow me to see how my first past life with Marco worked out, yet.
I walked around the lit up room as my eyes scanned around, I was standing in our family's tapestry room and I ran my fingertips over the paintings on the green wall. The painting of my family, my heritage and ancestors' "Isabelle." I heard my mother calling me from the living room.
"I am coming, mother!" I called back in my chirpy, Spanish accent. Me and my family moved to England, a 4 years ago, when our Spanish town of Valencia was struck down from a civil war. We needed to escape and my father had some good friends here, so this was our salvation, and a chance for a new start.
I walked into the sitting room, to see my parents standing up. "It's time for you to get married my dear." My mother spoke.
I let out a sight "But momma...I am not even 16 yet, must we find me a suitor?" I said looking at her.
She touched my cheek softly and she placed a kiss to my forehead softly "Dear, this is for the best. We want you to be happy and safe." She said, she was scared for my health and safety since and old witch proclaimed an evil prophecy: mors venit cum decore mortem venit cum innupta. qui non diligunt mortem petet.
Since the town's old accused witch made this prophecy, my mother wanted me to get married as soon as possible, before death took me.
My own father looked at me "I have chosen a suitor for you dear, he is young, charming, handsome and eligible for you to marry." He said looking at me, I looked at my own father, knowing my suitor would be over 24 at least. Girls like me, had to marry young, bare children soon after marriage, be a wife, mother, follow husbands others. The way society ran over many years now . "I have known him for many years now, he is a lovely young man Isabelle, a man that any woman should dream of marrying, he will come to dinner tonight."
I nodded a bit, being part of a noble family had it's price sometimes "I will dress my best for him papa and be sweet." I said, knowing I had no choice.
"I know, you're not happy about this my dear." My mother said "But this is for the best." She said placing a soft kiss to my forehead "He can save you from this curse, and take you back to Italy, give you a better life, than any plain English noble man or Prince could give you here." She said looking into my eyes. I looked into her eyes, knowing they held truth and honesty in them.
I nodded "I know, momma. I just....feel like my life is being torn from me." I said truthfully and looked down at the wooden floor. I heard my parents sigh, from sadness, they knew I was right.
"I know sweetie, but we married young too. And we are happy, we had you. You have given us joy and life. I am sure you will understand, once your first child comes." My father said placing a kiss to my hair "I will get the maids, to prepare you." He said before he walked off to call my 3 maids Lucy, Annabella and Rosa.
I waited for my 3 maids to come into the sitting room, and I then walked with them up the marble stairs we had in our noble castle and to my chamber, on the top floor. "I heard he is rather handsome." Lucy chimed.
"He's charming and for being 25 year old, he is a skilled warrior too." Annabella said.
"And dreamy for being Italian." Rosa said more to herself than me. I sighed softly. Maybe one of my maids would be better suited for whoever my suitor was, they were more his age, than I was.
Lucy looked at me, seeing my expression "Smile, Lady Isabelle, Sadness is not meant for those with beautiful faces such as yours." She said as she ran a hand through my brown hair, that had a slightly golden ting. She grabbed my brush from the desk and she started to brush my long hair, that fell to below my waist, it was silky and smooth.
Annabella and Rosa started to pick out my dress, of course the dresses in England had corsets, that were so tight, it was hard for me to breathe.
"I know Lucy...It's just...nevermind." I said shaking my head. I did not want to bother my maids, with the troubles of marriage and suitors. It was not my place to bother them with such things. After Lucy finished brushing my hair, she pinned my hair to the side, in a lovely and beautiful style. Annabella and Rosa helped me get into the dress they picked out, it was a night dress, with the colours of midnight and stary sky. I gasped as the corset was bit tight "I think, women in England learned not to breathe." I said to myself as it was tight.
Rosa fluffed the under coating off the dress before I slipped on the shoes to match the dress. I looked at myself in the mirror, the dress was sparkly, as the top fabric of the dark evening dress was slivery, like the stars in the sky.
Rosa smiled softly "You look wonderful, Miss Isabelle." She spoke in her soft English accent.
I gave her a soft nod "Thank you so much Rosa, Annabella and Lucy for your help, you may go now." I said dismissing them. After they walked out from my chamber, I bit my lip and walked downstairs trying to breathe, it was bit difficult for me to, even though I was used to corsets, but this one was bit tighter than usual, it had to be broken into.
When I walked into the sitting room, I heard laughter and a young man, who had his back to me. When he turned around, I was breathless, partially because of the corset that stopped me from breathing too well at the moment and more because of his insane handsome features, the bright brown eyes full of soul and life. The way his longer brown hair was perfectly tussled and made his prominent facial features stand out, against his tanned complexion. It was like, I was staring into his brown eyes, for the millionth time...yet we never met. This odd feeling washed over me, the warmth was too strong, it pulled me in.
The handsome man watched me, with a expression that was unreadable, like he knew me or something. I blinked and tried to pull my eyes away from his, but it was impossible. My father looked between us as he smiled softly and he chuckled softly "Marco, this is my daughter Isabelle Alcantara." He said and he looked at me "This is Marco Mastrostefano." I titled my head at the name slightly, it sounded somewhat familiar. But his last name was widely popular in Italy as well as the name Marco. So I guessed, that's why I knew the name from somewhere.
I smiled kindly over at Marco, my eyes still gazing into his as I held out my hand softly as I curtsied to him "Pleasure to meet you, sir." I said, in a soft voice. I knew he was too young be called a sir, but it was our traditional to call our suitors sir, until we were told otherwise.
Marco kissed the top of my hand, which send sparks to ran through my entire body, it almost send me buckling down to my knees. "Please, Call me Marco, Isabelle." He said in his soft, and strong Italian accent. The way my rolled off his tongue, just made me heart leap. "Your father was right, when he said your beauty was exquisite."
I felt my cheeks burn at his words and my eyes drifted to the floor from embarrassment, as no one ever gave me such a compliment. He lifted my chin up softly, so I was looking into his eyes "You're too beautiful to look down." He said, as his thumb softly brushed against my cheek bone.
"I..I am sorry." I said and I bit my lip nervously. But he seemed to find that adorable about me, as his brown eyes were lit up, they looked like two shiny pools of chocolate mud. My mother had a smile on her face, she looked like she wanted to say something, but my father pulled her away leaving me and Marco some time alone.
"Why are you sorry?" he said, his eyes gazing into mine.
"I...I am not really sure." I said my breath was shaky from being so nervous. I swallowed as he seemed to be standing closer to me, now than a few seconds ago.
He looked down at me, with worry and concern. "Is it because of me?" he said, he looked deeply into my eyes.
I shook my head slightly "It's me..I am just nervous. About this whole thing. My parents are doing this to keep me safe from a prophecy." I said as I sighed softly.
Marco looked at me "Do you believe in it?" he said.
I sighed and looked down, before looking up at him again "I am not sure what to believe." I said truthfully. I looked into his eyes and I looked down once again, not sure if I could look into his eyes again, and not feel guilty for being 15 and him being 25 and being forced into this marriage, by my parents for wanting to save me, no matter how sweet and charming he was.
He sighed softly and he kissed my head softly, as a gesture of his worry and concern "I will do my best to protect you, as my wife and the one I will wove to love, forever and always."
I let my eyes drift up to his face "Don't you think, you deserve better than me?" I said and I bit my lip, ashamed of the words that slipped from my lips, but I could not help but feel, like I was not worthy of his love. Before he could answer, the memory began to slip from my own mind and I blinked when I found myself still staring at Marco.
He looked at me "Bella? Did you remember something?" he asked me, he looked worried as I have not spoken in a while, since the memory seemed to take control and hold of me, so I was not able to move or speak.
I nodded a bit "Yes." I said and took a shaky breath "My parents wanted me to marry you, to save me from some prophecy." I said. I swallowed as I saw his eyes grow sadder. The sad look in his eyes told me, that either our marriage did not go down well, or something bad happened to me soon after...but then again, something bad seemed to happen to me, all 8 past lives, I just had to find out, what was the trigger or the bad event that kept separating us over and over again.
Marco looked at me worried while I started to wrap his injured hand with the bandage "Are you okay?"
I nodded slightly "Just peachy." I said and sighed softly. I looked at him once I finished wrapping his hand up "Just be careful, so you don't injure your hand again." I said, changing the subject.
But he carried on about it "Are you sure? Do you want to talk about it?" he said looking at me.
I sighed "What is there to talk about? We fell in love and kept being separated by something or someone." I said and looked away from him, not able to stand the warmth and the sparks any longer, than I had to.
Marco pulled me into his arms softly "Bella, it matters." He said softly, his eyes digging into my flesh. I did not have to look up, to know how concerned he was. "How do you feel about this?" he said softly.
"I...I am not sure. I guess, I am trying to get used to it all, still." I told him, pulling my gaze up, looking at him.
Marco nodded as he let me go "That's understandable, take all the time you need." He said before he walked off. I closed my eyes and sighed closing the first aid kit box and set it down on a table, before I went to my room to clear my head.
I looked at the box that was under my bed and I set it on my bed after I dusted it off and I pulled out my hair pin to try and open it up, it worked. I thought fast on my feet for not having a key to the box. Once I opened it up, there were lots of parchments inside, they looked like letters, photos, sketches and other things.
One parchment stood out to me, in this moment in particular. It looked like a song, I started to read what was written on it:
There are no guarantees when you love someone
That they'll always be the only one
Love is never that particular
And just because you love each other forever
Doesn't always mean you should be together
Love never tells you how to live your life
But, love never dies
True love, never dies
The paradox is that we've always had
What would make me happy would make you sad
And if you were sad, then I wouldn't be happy
And we've talked it around and around again
And you know I'm always gonna be your friend
Cause I love ya and that will never change
Cause, love never dies
True love, never dies
Even when you know that it's goodbye
Even when we know that it's goodbye
Even when you know that it's goodbye
Love never dies
Even when you know that it's goodbye (2X)
When it's goodbye, love never dies
Nothing can change, if you don't let it go
It takes courage and love to really know
And when the time has come to let it change
And we've talked it around and around again
And you know, I'm always gonna be your friend
Cause, I love ya and love never dies
Love never dies
True love never dies
Even when you know that it's goodbye (3x)
Love never dies
Even when you know that it's goodbye (2x)
Oh! Oh! It's goodbye
Love never dies
Nah! Hah!
Nah! Hah! Yeah!
This love will never die
Nothing to feel (4x)
Even when you know that it's goodbye (2x)
Oh! Goodbye
Love never dies
Love never dies (5x)
There are 2 versions of this song: This is the version from Killing Bono by Joe Echo (The Longer Version/matching the lyrics posted for this chapter):
Shorter version from the same film by Ben Barnes(Slightly altered version):
What is going on? What mysterious force seems to want to keep them apart? Why can she only remember parts of her previous lives, and what is the meaning of the song lyrics at the end of the chapter? So many questions! Can't wait to find the answers!
Interesting questions :) something wants to keep them apart and you will find out what that is later. She can only remember bits for now, as there is something she has not done yet, in order for her to remember, the rest of the 2 visions she had of her and Marco she had so far.
If she completes her task later on, which you fill find out what it is eventually, she will see her other past lives in full.
And the song was written by Marco to Bella, it's saying that even though she loves Damion, he will still love her, and that their love can never die, even though Bella keeps dying, but their love will live on.
Such a sad, sad song!
How will she know what to do if she doesn't remember?
Yeah, it is a sad song.
Hopefully Marco or someone will help her, remember.
OMG!!! this is amazing!!! love the whole idea!!!
can't wait for more!!!
I am glad you like this :) I will try and post more soon
Chapter 8
As I read the lyrics to the song on the parchment, I blinked back a few tears that were forming in my eyes. The lyrics of the song were so beautiful...emotional. It tugged at my heart strings, I wondered if Marco wrote this.
I sighed softly as I then looked at what else was in the box. I ruffled through the parchments and I found a small box at the bottom. I pulled it out and opened it up to reveal the locket...the one I gave to Marco when we first met. It was perfectly intact and preserved.
I blinked, in shock. I ran my fingers over the locket softly and closed my eyes. When I opened them again, Marco was in my room and I bit my lip. He smiled softly "May I?" he asked nodding to the locket.
I gave him a soft nod as he took the box softly and he then put the locket around my neck, it was a perfect fit. Sitting there around my neck, where it belonged. "How am I supposed to remember the rest?" I asked him and sighed.
Marco, looked amused by my words and he chuckled softly.
"I am serious." I said and shook my head at him slightly.
He stopped chuckling "Sorry Bells, but we been over this before, at least once or twice before, so it's amusing to hear the same words being asked again." he said and he looked at her "I am sure it will come to you." He said looking into my eyes "Or take a guess." He said as his eyes watched mine.
I bit my lip, trying to think of what it could be. My eyes never leaving his, as I was hoping for some clues, or hints in his expression, but nothing. He would not budge an inch, it was clear I had to find out on my own. I was silent for about half an hour, watching him while trying to figure it out.
Then it hit me. Would I have to see the past for myself? "I have to go back to the past?" I asked, but it came out more of a statement than a question.
Marco looked at me and he nodded "Not only that, you have to relive it as well."
My jaw dropped open in shock as I looked at him "I...you...you want me to relive it?" I said "Going to the past I can cope with....but reliving it...that's another entire story altogether." I said, it freaked me out and scared me. To relive my many deaths....I shook my head "Isn't there any other way?"
Marco looked at me and he sighed "I wish there was, the first 2 times, you could just watch it or just be told, but this time is different." he said as he touched my cheek softly "I will be there with you, so I'll relive it with you, in my past self. I know it might feel like you'd be dead for years, but you will flash into your new body in the past, in a few moments after each life, the first 2 will pick up from where your visions left of. But time here will move as well." He said as he saw my bewildered expression.
"What am I supposed to tell my aunt Nina? She's freak out, if she knew I would be going to the past and be gone for whoever knows how long." I said and sighed, knowing if I wanted to find a cure to break the curse, I would have to do this.
Marco looked at me nodding "Don't worry, We will come up with something. Since School will be off for a few weeks now, I can take you to Paris or somewhere, and then we can just go from there." He said looking at me.
I thought about it "I guess that could work." I said, at the moment when my aunt walked in to my room to check on me.
"What will work?" she said and I quickly leaned against the box hiding it behind my back. She raised an eyebrow at me then looked at Marco "What is going on with you two? You're both acting very odd today." She said.
I looked at Marco and he looked at my aunt "Nothing is going on." He said
"Please...you been talking in code this morning..goodness knows about what. What is going on?" she said, in a demanding voice.
I looked at Marco and my aunt. God. How could I say this to her. I looked at Marco "She needs to know." I told him.
Marco looked at me "You sure, you're ready for her to know?" he asked me. I just gave a slight nod, even though, I wished I had more time before she would be asking questions about all of this, I knew I had to tell her now, or else it would either be too late, or she would be even more suspicious so she would go snooping around herself.
I bit my lip before I took a deep breath, as I looked at my aunt "I....well..." I was not sure where to begin.
Marco gave my hand a soft squeeze as he looked at my aunt "Bella, has had 8 past lives." He said. She stared at him in shock
"How...how do you know that?" was all she asked, as if she knew, but by the shock on her face, it was clear she had no idea.
"I was married to Marco in 4 of them and to Damion in the other 4." I said and I bit my lip slightly "It's a long, confusing story...I don't even know.." before I could finish she cut me off.
"That explains your strange reaction, when we arrived here." She said looking at me "I thought you were just ill, or not feeling but..." she shakes her head and she looked at Marco "So, how come Bella...is alive again?" she asked, but I sensed she was edging towards a different question.
"She has an eternal soul, causing her to be re-born." He simply said. "Bella, can only remember few bits of her past lives, but in order to know all of what happened to her, all 8 times, she has to relive the past." He told her.
Nina looked at us "Are you crazy"? she said "I am not sending my niece to the past." She said, she sound more worried and freaked out, than I was feeling inside.
Marco sighed "There is no other way, I'll be there with her." He said looking at my aunt "If she wants to break the curse, than she has to go back."
"Curse...what curse?" she said looking at us confused. "And speaking of past lives, how many times have you and Damion been re-born?" she said, looking at him.
Marco looked at her "The curse that fell upon me and Damion." He said, not giving more details and he looked at her "we never had past lives; we both have been alive for many centuries now." He said, her eyes widened in horror and he sighed "I am an Angel." He told her "And Damion is a Demi-God." I looked at him stunned, I had no idea, Demi-Gods even existed, but Marco being an Angel, I guess that explained his tenderness and his kindness and how protective he was.
My aunt looked between us and she blinked "Angel...Demi-God...eternal soul...past lives..curse."s he muttered to herself. "Is that what you were talking about?" she asked and I gave a slight nod.
"Time here will move as well, as well as the time in the past, but the time difference will be very different. I was thinking about taking Bella to Paris, but you sort of caught us at a bad time and started to ask what was going on, so now you know." Marco said.
Nina looked at us again "Well...fine...I guess, if you need to go there...than go." She said before she left the room, not even shutting the door behind her.
I leaned against my pillows and sighed. "She will be okay, eventually." Marco said and I just hoped, she would be. I hoped, she would understand what pain I went through, and what fear and more emotions that were spiralling inside of me. I sat up and looked at Marco again as I ran a hand through my hair.
"Why must this be so hard?" I asked looking at him.
Marco sighed softly "Nothing is ever that simply Bella." He told me and placed a soft kiss to my forehead, trying to make me feel better and I closed my eyes as I just sighed and I gave him a slight nod. "Especially, when it comes to your past life." He said and he tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.
I nodded "I guess so." I said and looked at him. I knew my aunt would want me to have my studies with me, but then again. I would be in the past so, that would be no use taking that with me. Marco rubbed my arm softly, before he left and he left me to pack, some clothes and things for our trip.
It took me about an hour to pack, when I was done. I met Marco downstairs with my bag and he smiled softly "You're ready?" he said and I nodded.
My aunt looked at me and Marco "Take care of her." And she hugged me tightly giving me a soft squeeze "Try and stay safe Bella." She said and she placed a soft kiss to my forehead.
Marco nodded and he smiled softly "I will do my best, as always." He said.
I looked at my aunt and I knew that would be a rather odd challenge, since danger was always after me, in my past lives, or so it seemed like that. But she did not need to know that. I nodded and I kissed her cheek back softly, before me and Marco walked out of the house and into the fresh Italian air.
After we loaded our bags in his car, he drove to the airport. It was rather silent drive, as I was thinking about what would greet me in my past and what things I would find out and learn about my self. I bit my lip and chewed on it slightly. I could feel Marco gazing over at me, every few moments to make sure I was fine.
I was not sure, if I was fine, or not. I knew, many feelings were rushing through my body and mind, in this moment in time. I was not sure if I was more worried, about what was too come, or reliving my own death. 8 times.
Marco reached out, giving my hand a soft squeeze and I closed my eyes softly and squeezed his hand back softly and bit my lip.
3 hours later: We arrived in France and after we re-claimed our bags. Marco drove us a little French Villa, it was pure white outside and beautiful. It was elegant and inside it was spacious but lovely. True French style and it felt welcoming.
Marco smiled softly, seeing the smile slowly creep onto my face, as I looked around before my eyes landing on his and I gave him a soft smile back. "So how does this work?" I asked looking at him.
"We have to open up a portal, and then we get sucked in our past selves and it goes from there." He said and I nodded.
"I will change." I said, as I felt bit sweaty from the 3 hour ride. He nodded and he let me go to the bathroom to clean myself up and change into something more comfortable for our journey. After I changed into a clean t-shirt and shorts, I pulled my hair up into a bun before I found him in a room for two.
He took my hand in his and he closed his eyes as he was in deep concentration and it was like wind appeared in the room, even though there were no windows open, the air was bitter cold as it prickled my skin and I closed my eyes as the wind picked up, when I opened them again, a black hole was in the room. It was the portal. Me and Marco took one step forward together...into the dark void..into the past.

Josiah's Tiny Navy Nursery Nook
My Room
Name: Josiah (due March 2013)
Location: Oakland, California
The limitations of this guest room-turned-nursery were that it had no windows, no natural light and no fourth wall. Additionally, the room's Lilliputian dimensions weren't helping the cause!
The design of the nursery came together rather organically. My husband and I compromised on this deep navy blue color paint, which works thanks to our lofted ceilings and track lighting. I then collected some vintage-y but new toys/dolls made of linen — foxes and elephants seemed to be the most masculine so I went with those. They all have the quality of a family heirloom, and I hope they become just that.
I tried to add some sophistication by putting an ornate gold frame above the crib and a whimsical paper mache storybook bust of a fox's head on the opposing wall. To maximize space, the console table with shelves serves as storage for diapers, books and a mushroom night light, as well as a changing station.

What a beautiful use of space! I love the walls, and all of the items you chose to incorporate into the nursery. And I LOVE the shelves/changing table, where is that piece from?
I love the blanket! It is beautiful.
Beware the pom poms though. I know I will sound ridiculous, but if the blanket was not intended for baby/ kid use, it hasn't gone thru the pull testing required of all baby/ kid items, so therefore could pose a choking hazard. I used to work in the kid clothing industry & the testing requirements are very, very serious. I understand how much of a nervous nellie I sound. Just beware.
Wheels on the changing table?!
Yes, there are wheels, but you can probably lock them.
It's beautiful, but much about this setup screams "first time parents." The changing "system" is impractical - try to change a flaily, squirmy baby on that thing. The baby will chew the pom poms off the blanket, and his new goal in life might well become pulling that picture off the wall.
Beautiful, though.
Love it! I, too, love the changing table with shelves and would love to know where it's from!
I like all the foxes
This is a very good point. But now I'm totally coveting that blanket for my own (grown-up) room!
This nursery is lovely and charming. The "woodland critter" theme is nice and is not over the top; the mushroom lamp in particular is adorable! I like how you have embraced the darkness inherent in a windowless room by painting the walls dark blue. Yeah, you'll probably want to move the cute display items off the top shelf of the changing table once you start changing your little one. But he may not show any interest in pulling down the picture (my daughter has never given a second glance to the framed picture that is within reach of her crib).
I recognize sooo much Anthropologie. I love this!
I believe it's the Decker bookshelf from Anthropologie -- no locks on the wheels. Beautiful as a bookshelf, but not wise to put a baby on top of it.
I love it and I don't find it impractical at all. I had a similar size to my changing table and had no issues with it, besides you don't use a changing table for a long period of time. Once my little one started rolling and moving around we started changing her on the couch, floor and bed anyway. I think the wall color is very bold and unique and I adore the foxes. It is a very whimsical space, good job.
A very charming room! I love the navy and all the woodland animals esp foxes. Those mushrooms are very sweet too. Gotta agree with the changing table. The wheels don't bother me so much but it's very very narrow. It'll work for a newborn but very soon there won't be enough room. I always changed my babies on a bed or the floor (using a cloth) anyways for safety reasons. Thanks for the share!
The lack of windows and natural light makes me sad =/
However that lack of windows will be a boon when it comes to napping and sleeping later than 5AM.
I love everything in this room, beautiful job. The wall color is perfect.
I love the room, espcially the navy wall! Do you happen to remember the name of the paint?
Beautiful wall colour. I'm a bit bemused by the comment about masculine animals, though...
I believe that's the Aiden 3 shelf from Cost Plus/World Market for the changing area. I've got my eye on it for my new tv stand.
love the chartreuse throw with the navy walls. Fantastic color combo.
My husband is from Oakland and even though we don't live in an earthquake area now, the only thing he wanted over the crib was wall decals! I had to talk him into the yarn-covered cardboard letters I wanted to put there too, and I eventually convinced him that they would do no harm. So I'm sure you know this, but please make sure that fox print is very well secured.
I love this space.Very pretty accents. Lots of style in a small space. And yep, our first spent time in a converted closet/hallway and it was just fine.
where is the fox head on the wall from? my daughter's shared room is Fox and Deer themed... I must have that!
What's the name of that paint? I'm about to paint my bedroom navy and this is PERFECT!
Hey everyone- this is my baby's room. YES, the wheels on our console/changing
table lock. It's not from Anthropologie- it's called the Aiden collection from Cost Plus,
I think it was $280? The table is *very* stable and is secured to the wall with
bolts. Thank you for acknowledging that we are first time parents- however, we're highly aware that a blanket in a crib is not safe- it is there for staging purposes only, and because it was handmade by someone special to us. I wanted to highlight it for the photo, that's all. The picture above the crib is entirely out of reach for an infant who can't stand. Once he can stand, we plan to hang it a foot higher. We already thought of that- but thanks for your concern. The Pom-Pom blanket is on a chair & will never be used to cover the baby in an unattended manner- it's just a throw blanket to be used while I'm nursing. I'll have to look up the name of the Behr brand paint we used, for the reader who asked....stay tuned :-)
Panta: Yes! We had already considered earthquakes & had moved the crib about 8" away from the wall that frame hangs on. Thank you for concern! Much appreciated.
@ Emily Sontag: The paper mâché fox is from.....(drumroll please): Anthropologie! (I'm a total sucker for *everything* Anthro ;-)....It's called the 'fox bust'?
I mentioned the picture because babies differ. Mine was/is mechanically oriented, so he quickly figured out he could rattle the crib and make things fall. He flailed when changed, randomly reached for objects on the changing table and Did Things to them, chewed the crib, and learned to pull himself up and throw things on the floor that I thought were out of his reach! I know many much more placid babies.
Love that Navy!

DETROIT (WKZO) -- A former Tuskegee airman was carjacked on Saturday. According to police, 89-year-old Jesee Rutledge was leaving his barber shop near Van Dyke and Harper roads when a group of men appeared from a nearby abandoned home and approached him.
Rutledge says they put a gun to his head, demanded his keys and took off with his vehicle. According to Rutledge, one of the suspects holding a gun on him was just a kid, barely tall enough to see over the steering wheel.
Authorities were able to track down and arrest the suspects.

I am that fool you see jogging on the street when the windchill is negative 10. I just can't seem to embrace the treadmill! When I'm on one I just stare at the time praying for my 45 minutes to be over...and I usually give up after about 25 minutes.
If I'm outside, though, I just go until I'm home. There's no choice! I can't just stop or I'll be far from my finish line. So outside it is, even on chilly winter mornings.
But that said, I hate running with cold hands or ears. I mean I hate it. So I always have my hat and gloves on. All was fine until a few years ago, when a new problem arose. I have always been someone who needs to run with music. I know it isn't the safest thing, but I am hooked and that's that. But when it's cold out, it is impossible to change the volume on my iPod without taking my gloves off. So I wind up ripping a glove off me, freezing my little fingers off, and trying to adjust my iPod super fast. Well I must not be the only one with that thought, because 180s (an awesome gear company if you haven't heard of it) has come out with a pair of gloves that let you work your mp3 player without taking them off. How crazy is that! They have made the fingertips of the glove thinner and added gel to them to mimic the feel of skin on the iPod's dial. The rest of the glove is super warm.
My hands applaud them.

Can children go with their parents of opposite sex to the changing rooms?
It is no problem for a mother to take her son or for a father to take his daughter to the women's/men's changing room.
Our staff is also really helpful and can assist them if they prefer to and feel more comfortable to go on their own to the changing rooms.

The eastbound caravan, numbering more than 60 old-time cars, will be en route from Lincoln Park in San Francisco to Sacramento on the opening day of the Lincoln Highway Centennial Tour that will wind up June 30 in Kearney, Neb.
After passing through Tracy on 11th Street sometime after 11:30 a.m. Sunday, the caravan — divided into smaller units to ease highway congestion — will turn north onto Banta Road and stop at the Banta Inn for lunch.
"There should be vintage cars beginning with a 1914 Packard up through the 1950s," said Mike Kaelin, a Tracy resident who is active in the Lincoln Highway Association's local chapter. "There will even be old cars from Norway and Germany."
The Lincoln Highway, established in 1913, was the first effort to form a coast-to-coast highway system. Tracy was on its original route between San Francisco and Sacramento.
Later, in 1928, a dual route over the new Carquinez Bridge near Vallejo was added, but the route through Tracy remained a part of the Lincoln Highway network.
Kaelin said that after leaving San Francisco on Sunday morning, tour drivers will stop at Duarte's Highway Garage in Livermore around midmorning to visit a Lincoln Highway museum.
From there, they will take the Old Altamont Pass Road to Tracy, arriving in town on Byron Road, which was a part of the Lincoln Highway route.
"We expect them to begin coming along 11th Street about 11:30 a.m.," Kaeling said. "The caravan will be divided into groups of cars, so it will take a few minutes to get through town."
From Banta, the old cars and support vehicles will travel north on Highway 99 frontage roads to Sacramento. On following days, they will drive east across Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and western Nebraska, arriving in Kearney the following Sunday, June 30.
A similar tour will head west from New York City, arriving in Kearney the same day as the West Coast caravan.

There are three different main classes of bad reaction that are often called "allergic reactions." Misconceptions can cause confusion, so it's important to clarify terms as to what's what.
Allergic reactions can range from mild discomfort to life-threatening and lethal conditions. Typically, an allergic reaction happens rapidly. They can be quite impressive when they strike severely and suddenly, such as when somebody with a seafood allergy gets exposed to shrimp in their diet.
Immediate signs can be tongue and throat swelling shut as the face puffs up, the lungs constrict, preventing breathing and blood pressure falls to nothing leading to cardiac arrest. That is what I'd call a "worse case scenario."
Allergic reactions can be quite serious but they can also be a lot less dramatic.
Another type of reaction that can occur is a sensitivity reaction. Classic allergic reactions are mediated by immunoglobulin type E, IgE, these include the common environmental allergies such as "hay fever" and other inhalant allergies.
Most of the allergies seen in a typical Florida family practice will be of the inhaled variety. Allergic rhinitis or nose inflammation is the most common of that group as well. Diagnosis can be made with a blood sample drawn and sent out for RAST testing, a clue to the presence of allergies can also be obtained with a random blood IgE level. The "gold standard" testing for allergies of this type however, is the skin-prick test in which the allergens are put on the skin and observed for a skin reaction, typically redness or a localized hive. If no reaction occurs placing the extract on top of the skin, a small needle is used to prick the skin through the extract, which may product a more pronounced local reaction.
It's important to realize that you can become allergic to a substance any time in your life. A patient can come in with an obvious penicillin allergy after getting that antibiotic for an infection, very surprised that they are having a reaction when they've never been allergic to penicillin before. Once you're allergic however, we always assume that you're always allergic. Future reactions can be worse initial reactions; they can even be lethal.
Food sensitivities are not as common and classically understood as inhalant allergies and allergens. Some physicians don't even think that food allergies are real other than the classic seafood and peanut allergies that cause immediate anaphylactic shock. nother class of immunoglobulins, IgG can cause these food sensitivities. The IgG mediated reactions can take several days to manifest and can appear as anything from fatigue, migraine, asthma worsening, rashes, abdominal pains, aches etc. The difficulty lies in figuring out the cause of the complaint. It's simple to identify an allergen that immediately makes you stop breathing. A food that triggers a reaction five days later is a lot more difficult to decipher.
Luckily there are labs, such as Immunolab www.immunolabs.com located in Fort Lauderdale can do this testing. There are also clinical shortcut tests, such as muscle testing, in which the item in question is held next to the chest/heart while the other arm is extended. The tester pushes down on the extended arm feeling for sudden weakness or "give way" that can indicate a sensitivity to the item.
Sensitivities are best treated with avoidance of the offending substance once it's been identified through appropriate testing.
Drugs can also cause adverse reactions. These are not necessarily allergic in nature. Most people will have nausea, and perhaps vomiting and/or diarrhea, after ingesting the antibiotic erythromycin. These reactions are not mediated by immunoglobulins, but are an inherent property of the drug being used.
Sometimes, one drug won't cause a problem until it's combined with another drug. Seldane was an antihistamine commonly used in the late '80s and early '90s that appeared to be a good drug, and was marketed by the FDA. It didn't sedate/cause sleepiness as bad as prior antihistamines. It quickly cornered a large share of the allergy drug market.
Once it had been through the vigorous testing required by the FDA and put into common use, people started to die of cardiac arrest while on this drug. It turns out that in susceptible people, using this drug with erythromycin caused prolongation of the QT interval, a heart problem that can quickly lead to cardiac arrest. This is why the FDA continues to maintain surveillance on new drugs after their release into the general market.
Adverse drug reactions are treated supportively and symptomatically depending on how the adverse reaction presents.
How are allergic reactions treated? For a very severe anaphylactic episode, epinephrine is essential. There is even a device marketed as an "EpiPen" used to jab the thigh and inject a dose during a severe reaction. If the device is used however, it's essential to get the patient to the emergency room or call 911 as frequently this drug will help for a while before the patient gets worse again.
Cortisone preparations can be given by mouth, injection or as topical creams and ointments for rashes. It's also a very valuable drug class when inhaled nasally for nasal allergies or into the lungs for asthma or allergic bronchitis.
Asthma consists of bronchoconstriction, narrowing of the airways and inflammation or swelling of the airway linings. For years we knew about and treated the first component and didn't understand why people kept dying despite good emergency treatment. We've come to understand that both constriction and inflammation need to be treated.
Antihistamines of the "H1 class" are also commonly used for treating airway allergies, often combined with decongestants. ure antihistamines can be sedating, more expensive non-sedating drugs are available. The antihistamine/decongestant combinations work well too. The sedation effect of the antihistamine can be counteracted in many people by the decongestant, which tends to cause more alertness. This is due to the decongestant being related chemically to adrenalin or epinephrine. Sometimes we'll add an "H2 class" agents such as Axid/Pepcid/Tagamet/Zantac to increase the antihistamine effects. These drugs are commonly used to decrease stomach acid production and help ulcers heal, but they also work on the histamine and can be used to treat allergic reactions.
Doxepin is an anti-depressant that can be useful in treating chronic urticaria or hives that occur in some people, as a side effect, it has strong anti-histamine effects.
Leukotriene inhibitors are another class of anti-allergy/anti-inflammatory drugs that can be helpful in long-term or intermittent therapy of allergies and asthma
The short form of this column is that there are a variety of drug classes used to treat allergic reactions. Avoidance is always the best strategy, other medical approaches include adrenalin/epinephrine for life-threatening reactions, glucocorticoids (steroids), H1 and H2 antihistamines, leukotriene inhibitors and even anti-depressants can be helpful in resolving these attacks.
Prevention is always the best strategy, but being prepared with antidote(s) can be a good fall-back position and knowing when to seek expert help/call 911.

Pipe Dream [Ghostlight 8-4463]
The most resoundingly-failed musical within the nine-show collaboration of the Messrs. Rodgers & Hammerstein was their 1955 effort, Pipe Dream. The boys had two other washouts, Allegro in 1947 and Me and Juliet in 1953. But Allegro was artistically intriguing, although the thing didn't work; and Me and Juliet — their most ordinary show, certainly — managed to turn a profit. Pipe Dream was a complete flop, despite an enormous-for-the-time advance sale that allowed them to keep afloat for seven months.
Nobody seemed pleased with anything about the show, apparently including the authors. While Broadway writers often spend considerable energy trying to figure out how to fix flops they loved — as Hammerstein did with Allegro — it seems that the boys were glad to put Pipe Dream behind them. An original cast album was quickly recorded and released, and forgotten. And quickly deleted, as well. (Having in our last column discussed the truncated and inexpertly recorded original 1971 cast album of Follies, let me say that Pipe Dream was really truncated and inexpertly recorded.)
It has always seemed to me, though — on the basis of the somewhat abridged, published vocal score — that Pipe Dream would sound a whole lot better to us if we could actually hear it. Hammerstein was not at his best on the occasion, certainly, but the music on the piano rack shows Rodgers in one of his most adventurous moods.
This despite all sorts of problems, not the least of which was the composer's hospitalization — the first day of rehearsals — to remove a cancerous section of his jaw. But Pipe Dream seems to have been troubled from the start. The property was a stretch for Hammerstein, who was more accustomed to writing about raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens than ladies lounging in "the happiest house on the block." Yes, this was a tale of the down-and-out, via John Steinbeck. The hero was a marine biologist, pulling starfish out of the tide pool. The leading lady was a wanderer who finds shelter at, yes, the happiest house on the block. Just what she does there is — in Hammerstein's hands — never exactly spelled out, and therein lies the core of the problem. "Will You Marry Me?" sings the girl to the man (using a proposal song written for Emile de Becque during the second week of the Boston tryout of South Pacific). The whole conflict of Pipe Dream is built around why Doc has qualms about marrying Suzy, but this doesn't quite come across if the audience doesn't know she's a hooker. Steinbeck, half in jest, complained to Oscar that his libretto made her seem more like "an off-duty visiting nurse."

Any qualms R&H might have had about the source material — Steinbeck's 1954 novel "Sweet Thursday," itself a sequel to his 1946 "Cannery Row" — were obscured by the writers' inter-related friendships. The original 1943 production of Oklahoma! had a stage manager named Elaine Anderson, a Texan who was altogether swell; this in a day when there were exceedingly few female stage managers on Broadway. (I met her a couple of times in the 1980s — she died in 2003, at the age of 88 — and she was sharp and refreshing.) She became a fast friend of both R&H even though she soon left Oklahoma!, moving to Hollywood with her movie star husband, Zachary Scott.
Anderson became involved with Steinbeck in 1949, and seems to have brought his new play to R&H; at the time, they were successfully producing non-musicals on Broadway (including John van Druten's long-running I Remember Mama and Samuel Taylor's The Happy Time — both of which eventually were musicalized into elephantine failures). The boys duly produced Steinbeck's Burning Bright in October 1950, although it lasted a mere ten days. After which they decided to restrict their New York producing activities to shows written by themselves.
Pipe Dream originated with Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin — producers of Frank Loesser's Where's Charley? and Guys and Dolls — as a project for the raffish Frank, who turned it down. They went on to R&H, who — due in part to their strong friendships with Steinbeck and Elaine — were glad to sign on. (Feuer and Martin retained 20 percent of the profits, with R&H insisting that they receive no billing. This ultimately resulted in a major feud and outrageous dispute during The Sound of Music, which has nothing to do with Pipe Dream so we'll leave it at that.)
Making the thing more of a family affair was the fact that the leading role of Doc was intended for Henry Fonda, a Steinbeck colleague since the filming of "The Grapes of Wrath" in 1940. The same Fonda who was — at the time of Pipe Dream — actually part of the Hammerstein clan. On Dec. 28, 1950, Hammerstein attended two weddings: one of his stepdaughter Susan and Fonda, the other of Elaine Anderson Scott and Steinbeck. So it was all a happy family and a happy plan, until they discovered that Fonda — after a year of vocal coaching — simply couldn't sing.
Ultimately, Pipe Dream — without a star of the magnitude of Henry Fonda, without a clear revelation of the heroine's shady trade, and with the composer sidelined by illness — succumbed. Not helping matters was the decision of R&H to put the directing chores into the hands of Harold Clurman. I don't know that anyone has cared to investigate this curious aspect of R&H: on five of the seven musicals for which they controlled the hiring, they purposely chose people who had never before directed a musical. Only one of these directors, Vincent J. Donehue of The Sound of Music, did an adequate job.
At any rate, Pipe Dream arrived at the Shubert just after Thanksgiving 1955 and was gone by the Fourth of July. As far as we can tell, there was never again a full production until Encores! gave it a try this past March. What materialized is not an overlooked classic nor a brilliant musical. It is, however, a fascinating musical on several counts, and one which displays the rich, vibrant sound of pure Rodgers & Hammerstein. The experience is carried over — perfectly so — to the cast album, from Ghostlight. (The new in-house sound system at the thoroughly renovated City Center made it practical to record live, over two performances. There is some audience reaction, naturally, but it is relatively unobstrusive.) Yes — this failed, neglected score does sound a whole lot better now that we can actually hear it.

SPOKANE, Wash.--Spokane police were searching for a man after they said the stolen car he was driving caught on fire on Wednesday afternoon.
Neighbors said the encounter with the man was bizarre. The owner of the stolen car said he did not expect to see the car in the condition he found it.
Tony Copler said he had his 1992 Buick for six years. The car was silver before it was stolen but when it was found it had a new paint job.
A neighbor said she saw the car sputtering down an alley near Hoffman and Nevada and then stop. Cell phone video taken by a business owner across the street showed heavy smoke coming from the car. The engine compartment became engulfed in flames. One witness said she saw the driver try to get some items out.
A nearby auto repair shop owner said the man came into her business and asked for buckets of water. Veronica Ebel said the man and her husband tried to douse the flames. She said when the man heard sirens he took off.
The fire department arrived and put the fire out. She said she saw authorities remove stolen items out of the car.
Copler said his car was gone for only three days but he could not believe the condition he found it in. He said it was a good car and he bought it for $1,000.
