3.0 out of 5 stars So many characters...
I have a great fondness for this series. It started a little shakey and then rocked. However, the previous book, 'White Knight' frustrated me with its myraid of characters and increasing feel of total fantasy, but I'd hoped it was a blip in this great series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant but more loose ends than a frayed rope,
C. Green "happily low brow" (Quenington, Glos, UK) - See all my reviews
Anyone who has read my reviews of previous novels in the Dresden Files series will know that I am great fan of Jim Butcher's Chicago based wizard. It will hardly come as a surprise therefore, to know that I was very much looking forward to this latest installment in the on-going saga that is Harry's life, which for the first time UK readers are getting in hardback at the same time as their compatriots in the US. The question is, did it live up to my expectations?
Well the five star rating and the review title answers that pretty conclusively. Admittedly the good will the author has built up with me over the previous novels means I would forgive him a great deal but there is nothing in Small Favour that requires forgiveness. From the get go this is classic Dresden, with a fast moving plot that pulls in a wealth of supporting characters, picks up plot strands that were introduced in previous books, twists and turns with abandon and doesn't scrimp on the action in the slightest. Its also by turns funny, scary and emotional. In other words its has everything long term readers of the series have come to expect from the books.
My only significant criticism of the book, which can be applied to other volumes in the series and has been highlighted by other reviewers, is the author's apparent unwillingness to tie up the myriad of loose ends and subplots he has established over the course of so many books. I am not demanding a neat conclusion to every wider story arc he has set in motion, but his apparent refusal to offer closure on any of them is becoming just a little frustrating. Its also becoming harder and harder to keep track of everything that has and is happening. Small Favour offered Butcher the chance to put at least one or two outstanding plots, like the activities of the Denarians, to bed once and for all. The fact that he once again failed to do so is starting to grate slightly.
Still, that's not enough to detract from my enjoyment of the book. As I always warn when reviewing Dresden File novel, if you're new to the series go back to the beginning and start with Storm Front. If you're already a fan of Harry, Karrin, Thomas, Mouse, Michael, Molly, Bob and all the other human and inhuman characters that populate Dresden's world then Small Favour will definitely not disappoint you.

3.0 out of 5 stars So many characters...,
I have a great fondness for this series. It started a little shakey and then rocked. However, the previous book, 'White Knight' frustrated me with its myraid of characters and increasing feel of total fantasy, but I'd hoped it was a blip in this great series. Now we have the tenth in the Harry Dresden magic series, 'Small Favour'. I was so looking forward to reading this volume. It certainly leapt into action, and that action kept on going and going. Despite this it didn't grip me. Around the middle of the book I almost gave up because I was so tired of weird fantasy stuff and countless characters with strange names I couldn't remember, so I began to skim read and flick through pages until my attention was grabbed about a hundred pages from the end. I enjoyed those last hundred pages, especially in the hospital and where Harry questions God and faith (best not to say more or I'll spoil it) and I decided not to worry if I was unsure who the heck some of the characters were.
I think some of my increasing frustration with the series is that I adore thrillers and the supernatural but I'm not a fan of fantasy. This series is turning from a supernatural thriller into a fantasy series and if you relish fantasy then fine. However, I prefer magic set in the normal world and greater emphasis on characterisation (I'm especially fond of Thomas, Bob and Mouse) with far fewer characters and weird happenings. I won't give up yet although I'll be getting the next volume from the library. If you're new to the series then do start at the beginning with 'Storm Front'.

4.0 out of 5 stars How Many Loose Ends!,
Ms. Sja Hardy "Batfink" (UK) - See all my reviews
I am a huge Harry Dresden fan and enjoy all the books for differing reasons each time. I felt at the end of this book that there were more questions than answers and I sometimes got lost with references to other characters and had to back track from my speed reading to try and work out who they were and sometimes even which book I had met them before.
The ending definately left me feeling that the next instalment must be released shortly as it was very open. Usually I find that the books have a distinct ending even if the overall story of Harry and his cohorts continues.
Also not enough of Thomas in this book for me but as usual well worth buying and please hurry up with the next one
5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent Dresden ride,
D. McFarlane "David" (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I was very engaged in Small Favour from start to finish, and I am pleased to say that I found Harry to be much less whiney in this book than he has been in the previous two Dresden novels.
This is, I would say, something of a "return to form", if such a thing is possible when you haven't really strayed too far from form in the first place.
I'm also fairly pleased that the pace and "reality" of this book were a lot more realistic. Harry wasn't portrayed as quite the superhuman that he has been previously, and some of the other characters were shown to be falible, too.
Yes, I liked this one a lot. My only problem now is that I've caught up with the Dresden File series, so have a while to wait until Turn Coat is released in paperback...
5.0 out of 5 stars Dresden,
This review is from: Small Favor (Dresden Files) (Audio CD)
Yet again Jim Butcher comes up trumps. The PI who just happens to be a wizard gets better and better. These books are good! Once you start reading you can't put them down. I had thought that I would get bored by now, but each book is different and Jim Butcher is managing to develop the character of Harry with each book. Harry is developing and I can only congratulate Jim Butcher on his skilful characterisation. I suggest Jim Butcher begins to nag producers to bring Paul Blackthorne/Harry Dresdent back to the small screen. He needs a wider audience. Much, much better than Mr Butcher's books about Calderon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another amazing chapter in the life of Harry Dresden (book 10),
A. Wilks (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
This is possibly my favourite Dresden book since Dead Beat, with lots of action and so much going that I couldn't put it down and read it start to finish in a day. Buy it now, you won't regret it!

4.0 out of 5 stars not great, but good,
M. Welch "69yorkroad" (London) - See all my reviews
Not one of the best Dresden novels - but fast and furious from start to finish. I'm intrigued to know where Jim Butcher is going with these novels as there seem to be more and more loose ends that need tying up, and as much as I enjoy the books, the saga could drag on for too long. Bring back Susan!

3.0 out of 5 stars Preaching To The Converted,
Rotgut "rotgut" (Warrington UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small Favor (Dresden Files (ROC Paperback)) (Mass Market Paperback)
This enjoyable and action packed fantasy novel is the tenth instalment in the popular "Dresden Files" series, meaning its hero, Harry Dresden, has comfortably outpaced his namesake wizard, Harry Potter, in the number of books he has had written about him, if not in the number of books sold.
This relatively long book will be snapped up by established fans but is unlikely to attract many new readers, a decent level of knowledge of previous entries in the series is assumed, and required, to appreciate this one. To a certain extent this is unavoidable, but other "Dresden" novels, e.g. "Dead Beat" have strong enough plots to overcome this need for previous knowledge and are good reads in their own right.
"Small Favour" does not have that strong a storyline and therefore can only really be read as part of the series. Read in that way, it doesn't really move the series on very far. Jim Butcher is clearly attached to his creations, and rightly so, but for the sake of building suspense if nothing else, he does need to start killing a few of the major continuing characters off.
It is odd that Butcher has abandoned the investigative aspect of these books, the idea of a wizardly Private Eye seems a perfect basis for an ongoing series of fantasy books, but the "Dresden Files" has drifted away from this basic idea and become more like a series about a fantasy war, fought between various powerful factions, Wizards, Vampires, Faeries etc. Personally I found these ideas worked better in the background, with our hero working in tandem with his mortal allies to investigate supernatural events in the real world.
5.0 out of 5 stars Harry in brilliant form...,
M. Malone (Ireland) - See all my reviews
well not the character he gets some bad beatings...but the story is just excellent. A joy to read a well thought out and written story line. A must read for all Harry Dresden fans.
Yes, there are plenty of loose ends but as another reviewer said thats life for you. Also just makes you want to get your teeth into the next one.
Just read it you won't be disappointed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Small Favour review,
D. Weston "DebJosh" (Essex UK) - See all my reviews
Another successful book in the Dresden Files series. I've always liked the character Harry Dresden with his slick humour, sense of honour and regular, near-fatal bouts with demons, vampires, faerie, and much much more. If you've not read any of the Dresden series before, then start at the beginning - it'll be worth it!

no matter when the appointed days are or what all that entails we have already passed judgment on ourselves and declared the situation hopeless. by killing innocent children by abortion both by force and by choice we have sided with the wickedness that decrees humanity is not worth saving. we completely deny the existence and authority of the Creator when we kill innocent children before they can be born and break all His commandments by doing so. it is the height of wickedness and devil worship.
so what else is possible at this point. the world has agreed together that individuals are not worthy of life. when we approve of the killing of the most harmless and pure of those living we declare that no lives are worth saving. That is not the heart of the Creator or His Son Who considered lives so precious that He gave His own to save those who would believe. innocent bloodshed has consequences both in the physical and spiritual realms. humanity is not saved by killing those who are unwanted. the opposite is true.
so we force His hand and He knew the day would come when wickedness would blossom to it's full extent of destruction. we bring it on ourselves. yes the times have always been in His hands and the days were assigned from eternity past, but He is proved just and righteous in whatever comes next because we have allowed the evil to progress to the point where nothing else is possible and an end must be put to it.
seek His mercy for He wants to be merciful to all those who with broken hearts recognize and admit our rebellion against His goodness. His heart is to save and always has been but humanity chooses to bring on His righteous judgment instead of His endless grace and love. seek His love and forgiveness for what we have done.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner and other Republican congressional leaders urged the Justice Department on Tuesday to end efforts that could block Louisiana from issuing new private school tuition vouchers in some districts.
The department filed a motion last month in federal court saying new vouchers should not be issued in districts under longstanding federal desegregation orders unless — and until — they are approved by a federal court. The filings say 34 school districts in Louisiana remain under desegregation orders stemming from civil-rights-era lawsuits, and that vouchers have been issued in at least 22 of them.
"We strongly urge you to consider the effects of this poorly conceived motion on the very children you profess to be protecting," says the letter signed by Boehner; House Majority Leader Eric Cantor; Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy; Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, chairwoman of the Republican Conference; Rep. John Kline, House education committee chairman; and Rep. Todd Rokita, chairman of an education subcommittee.
The letter says the department's move could force students to stay in failing public schools and pressure other states to abandon similar initiatives.
Congressional Republicans are also seeking an explanation from Attorney General Eric Holder on why he believes the attempt will aid students, "particularly low income and minority children." They ask for detailed information on correspondence on the issue between Holder's department and the Obama administration, and on correspondence and meetings that Justice officials had with "outside groups" on the voucher issue.
The Justice Department motion was filed last month in a 1971 desegregation case, Brumfield v. Dodd. Federal lawyers say vouchers have impeded desegregation in some districts.
The department said in an emailed statement that the letter had not been received Tuesday afternoon.
"The United States is not seeking to end Louisiana's voucher program," the Justice Department said in its statement. "The United States seeks a straightforward goal: to ensure that the State of Louisiana implements its school voucher program in a manner that complies with the U.S. Constitution and long-standing federal desegregation orders."
The voucher program provides state-funded private school tuition for some students who are from low- to moderate-income families and who are assigned to low-performing public schools — schools graded with an F, D or C under the state accountability system.
Piloted in New Orleans in 2008, the program was expanded statewide as part of a broad overhaul of education policy pushed through the Legislature last year by Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican. An estimated 8,000 students are using vouchers to attend private schools this year.
Opponents say the program draws badly needed money from the public school system.
Jindal's office said Tuesday that 90 percent of the students in the voucher program are minorities.
Jindal, former Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., are to discuss the issue at the National Press Club in Washington on Wednesday, according to Jindal's office.
"We appreciate the support of the House Leadership," Jindal said in a news release. "They are exactly right about the Obama Administration's backwards lawsuit that is only an attempt to curry favor with government unions and deny children an equal opportunity to get a great education."
The department's statement said its actions are "fully consistent with the Louisiana law that established the voucher program, which provides that the program is 'subject to any court-ordered desegregation plan in effect for the school system in which the public school is located.'"
OCT 23 Blogger Tom Aswell posts the photo that started making the rounds of the Facebook this week; it shows our governor and his lovely bride, all bright and smiley and holding big guns. The Jindals look a little posed, down to their carefully and properly placed index fingers. They're both grinning wide, displaying how comfortable they are with weaponry. Whee!
OCT 23 The state is funding a 'community center' that is being built by a church, this post on Gambit tells us. The center, located on Carrollton in New Orleans, will be the headquarters of a Hollygrove-based church called Trinity Christian Community. State officials say that partnering with non-profits - including churches - is turning out to be the only way to get community centers built and operating, the story says.
OCT 23 Bayou Buzz is taking Gov. Bobby Jindal and the GOP to task here for the Ebola shrieking. The so-called "travel ban" makes no sense, and these politicians should have done their homework before coming up with this stunt, Stephen Sabludowsky writes.
OCT 23 This fascinating post on The Lens opens the discussion of New Orleans as subject. C. W. Cannon talks about the concept of dual consciousness and how New Orleanians, especially, have experienced this condition post-Katrina. Cannon attended a recent conference about the issue at Tulane, where the discussion focused on how the romanticization of the city by outsiders masks real social problems.
OCT 23 WalletHub posts another of those amusing and yet barely relevant maps here, plotting the nation's best and worst cities for budgeting. The methodology is clearly laid out, but basically the study looked at how much people spend, how much they pay on their credit cards, their average credit score, etc., in order to come up with the rankings. Lafayette, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Monroe, Shreveport and Alexandria all made the bottom 50. Yay!
OCT 23 Sure, Bobby Jindal spends a lot of time campaigning (for nothing, really, he has the job he wants) in other states, but he's still paying attention to Louisiana, this post on the NOLA Defender blog assures us. Bobby's recent executive orders regarding Guaranteed News Coverage Ebola and sexual assault prove he's all over that Louisiana stuff, the post says.
OCT 23 The Advocate's Amy Wold writes about one alarming reality of coastal loss - the relocation and/or loss of entire communities. Moving them en masse rarely works, she writes. Sure, the best course is to try to save the coast. But even if the coastal restoration plans in place all work, this will still be an issue, she adds, because no matter what Louisiana will end up smaller than it is now.
OCT 23 Hayride blogger Scott McKay, who already has attacked our own Lamar White Jr. over his endorsement of Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, attacks him again in this post. In addition to attempts to belittle Lamar and Wendy, he talks about the "morons" at Davis' campaign. That moniker applies to anyone who disagrees with McKay, apparently.
OCT 22 This entertaining short (15 minutes) film on Munchies is all about Boudin. Thank goodness it's just a documentary-style piece filled with the voices and faces of south Louisiana, as opposed to outsiders waxing poetic about our regional specialties. But be warned, there is some pretty graphic pig butchery going on here, so if you're squeamish it may not be for you.
OCT 22 It's hard to pick out the most interesting part of this post on Mother Jones about Texas lieutenant governor candidate Dan Patrick. His claim that migrant workers will bring leprosy to Texas? That Connie Chung's show should be called "Slanted Eye to Eye"? But of course we must go with the comments about our very own Duck people, and how they are the spokesmen for God.
OCT 22 A state judge threw out the lawsuit of a former employee of the LSU Alumni Association, the Advocate reports here. The employee had claimed the former director of the group gave her a job so she'd have sex with him, and after she left agreed to continue to pay her -- so she'd have sex with him. Apparently you get no points for hutzpah.

Well things are underway for our next trip around the world to catch up with everyone! Tickets are booked and bags are starting to get packed. Pats son Johnathan is coming to Cairns for the month of December and then we take off to Thailand with 18 year old Kate in tow (she is very excited!!). We will spend 6 weeks in Thailand and Laos, then fly to Rome, then Barcelona, then Majorca, then Madrid, then Seville, Spain to pick up our motorbike that has been in storage for a year.
After about a week in Seville getting the bike ready we will go to Morocco in March. The next 8 months will be spent cruising on Miss Adenture II around Eastern Europe. We will then store the bike in Greece in November for another year and then go to Denver then Dallas then Edmonton, Canada to catch up with The Peck Family for Christmas 2006.
Thats about us for now, working hard to pay for it all. Love to hear from you all and any advise on any of these places that anyone has.
In the meantime have a great Christmas- we will be in Cairns with The Davis Family in the pool as it will probably be 34 degrees!!

Electric Dream Machine
Is that the cross section of a Foo Fighter? No way, it's a tattoo machine. It's the newest tattoo machine. It's the best. It's weight is less than a third of the average machine. It's carved out of solid aluminum. It's much less painful to the tattoo collector than the classic machine. It's got two methods for mayhem: while it's the first air-powered tattoo machine in the world, it's got an attachment which allows it to also run on electricity as well. It's the "Neuma Hybrid Tattoo Machine" pokin' through.

MOUNT BALDY, Calif. (AP) — Thunderstorms that swept across Southern California on Sunday led to the death of one person and caused mountain mudslides that stranded more than 2,000 others, authorities said.
A body was found in a car that was swept into a rain-swollen creek in Mount Baldy and overturned, San Bernardino County Fire spokesman Chris Prater said.
Further east, flash floods brought thick debris flows that cut off access to two towns. About 1,500 residents of Oak Glen, and another 1,000 residents of Forest Falls in the San Bernardino Mountains were unable to get out because the roads were covered with mud, rock and debris, authorities said.
The stranded include 500 children and adults who had arrived at a Forest Falls campground Sunday morning.
"Our concern is that they're isolated at that campground and no longer have access out of the mountain," Kyle Hauducoeur, another county fire spokesman, said.
Authorities made reverse 911 calls to urge residents to stay put while crews clear the roads with bulldozers. The muck was so thick it submerged a van in Forest Falls, while on Mount Baldy water swept a hot tub into the road.
Flash floods led to the rescue of several people. Hauducoeur said a woman in Mt. Baldy was rescued from her house before it was buried in mud. Four additional homes in the Bear Creek area were damaged by the debris flow, he said.
In the Angeles National Forest, a group of 4 or 5 people and a dog were airlifted to safety.
A U.S. Forest Service spokesman told KNBC-TV some campers had seconds to evacuate before a torrent of water washed their tents and belongings.
"It sounded like a freight train coming through," Robert Ethridge said.
Monsoonal moisture brought brief but fierce storms to mountain, desert and inland areas. In and around Palm Springs, knee-deep water flooded city streets and stranded vehicles. In the city of Redlands, the storm downed a tree and knocked out power to a few neighborhoods.
The downpour dumped as much as 3 ½ inches of rain on Forest Falls, and nearly 5 inches of rain on Mount Baldy, the National Weather Service said.
Authorities said crews were assessing the extent of damages caused by the storms.

One Person Dead, Over 2,000 Stranded by California Mudslides

Second Jerusalem
King Lalibela was born at either Adefa or Roha (it was later named Lalibela after him) in Bugna. He was given the name "Lalibela" due to a swarm of bees said to have surrounded him at his birth, which his mother took as a sign of his future reign as Emperor of Ethiopia. Tradition states that he went into exile due to the hostility of his uncle Tatadim and his brother king Kedus Harbe, and was almost poisoned to death by his half-sister. Because Lalibela came to power during his brother's lifetime, Taddesse Tamrat suspects that he came to power by force of arms.[3]
Lalibela is said to have seen Jerusalem in a vision and then attempted to build a new Jerusalem as his capital in response to the capture of old Jerusalem by Muslims in 1187. As such, many features of the town of Lalibela have Biblical names including the town's river, known as the River Jordan. The city remained the capital of Ethiopia from the late 12th century and into the 13th century.
Details about the construction of his 11 monolithic churches at Lalibela have been lost. The later Gadla Lalibela, a hagiography of the king, states that he carved these churches out of stone with only the help of angels.[4]
His chief queen was Masqal Kibra, about whom a few traditions have survived. She induced Abuna Mikael to make her brother Hirun bishop, and a few years later the Abuna left Ethiopia for Egypt, complaining that Hirun had usurped his authority.
Another tradition states that she convinced king Lalibela abdicate in favor of his nephew Na'akueto La'ab, but after 18 months of his nephew's misrule she convinced Lalibela to resume the throne. Taddesse Tamrat suspects that the end of Lalibela's rule was not actually this amiable, and argues that this tradition masks a brief usurpation of Na'akueto La'ab, whose reign was ended by Lalibela's son, Yetbarak. Getachew Mekonnen credits her with having one of the rock-hewn churches, Bet Abba Libanos, built as a memorial for Lalibela after his death.
Unlike the other Zagwe kings, a sizeable amount of written material has survived about his reign, besides the Gadla Lalibela. An embassy from the Patriarch of Alexandria visited Lalibela's court around 1210, and have left an account of him, and Na'akueto La'ab and Yetbarak.[8] The Italian scholar Carlo Conti Rossini has also edited and published the several land grants that survive from his reign

IPAB: The Acronym for Death Panels
The socialist remnants of Britain have the Orwellian NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) to determine who gets medical care and who doesn't. As ObamaCare congeals, we'll find ourselves living or dying at the whims of IPAB:
In his speech on the deficit, Obama pointed to IPAB [Independent Payment Advisory Board] as an answer to Paul Ryan's plan. In Ryan's vision, competition among insurers will force efficiencies and lower prices. Under Obama's plan, in contrast, health-care prices for the elderly would be controlled by IPAB. Ryan's plan puts consumers in the driver's seat, but also exposes them to the risk of bad choices and limited subsidies. While Obama's plan offers government-guaranteed care, IPAB's price controls will lead to one-size-fits-all rationing. As IPAB caps Medicare payments for various services, the elderly will be unable to obtain many kinds of care, or will experience de facto rationing via long treatment delays and sharp declines in the quality of care. And by the way, IPAB rationing will hit many current seniors, whereas Ryan's reform of Medicare will never affect anyone now 55 or older.
But that's not the worst of it. IPAB will be key to implementing Obamunists' goal, Stalinization of the healthcare system. James Capretta is on to them.
Their goal, says Capretta, is to work by stealth, so voters never fully realize that the government has adopted their strategy. The first part of the plan involves taxing "the rich" for Medicare and health insurance, but without Reagan-style indexing of taxes to inflation. That way, inflation-driven "bracket creep" will raise health-care taxes on the middle class without congressional Democrats ever having to vote for new taxes.
Inflation is the cruelest tax, as they say. Bracket creep is another reason our rulers are deliberately driving it into the stratosphere with their massive spending and "quantitative easing."
The second part of the plan involves IPAB-imposed price controls and the large-scale rationing of health care that implies. But to work, IPAB's authority has got to extend beyond Medicare. The idea, says Capretta, is to wait until the massive financial strains brought on by Obamacare bring calls for cost control. That's when the Democrats will push for IPAB's authority to be extended beyond Medicare to all of Obamacare, at which point we'll be very close to a single-payer health-care system with Canadian-style rationing.
The president's speech last week tracks well with Capretta's predictions. Obama promised tax hikes for "the rich," and vaguely alluded to plans to expand IPAB's powers as deficits mount. Of course, even as he laid the groundwork for strengthening IPAB, Obama gave no real hint of the massive health-care rationing that would imply. And at the moment, the Congressional Budget Office predicts little or no savings from IPAB's price-setting, so Obama's speech came off as an unserious reply to Ryan. But as Mark Hemingway points out, Obama's IPAB plan makes sense if we see it as "a Trojan horse" for a regime of "command-and-control rationing" quietly installed over the long term.
The Manchurian Moonbat can never lay out his true objectives, because at this point we still have guns and elections, and only a tiny minority of Americans are Marxists who would approve of what he's doing to our country if they understood it. But despite the smokescreen perpetually maintained by his collaborators in the "mainstream" media, you don't have to look hard to see what he's up to.

Bold prints, tribal beading, barely-there hemlines, and breezy silhouettes, all designed, according to the program notes, for the customer off to her next "hedonistic glamour destination." But for those whose idea of an exotic getaway these days is dim sum in Chinatown, there was still plenty to covet: namely buttery lambskin biker jackets, silk ombré blouses and harem pants, and a top-notch version of the now-ubiquitous chambray jumpsuit. Williamson amped up accessories this season, and to strong effect.

My Oscar Night
Oscar night approaches and something is missing. My kids. The nest is empty, and 364 days a year I'm fine with that. But not on Oscar night. Let me tell you why. Growing up, kids are like natural hostages. Until they get their driver's license, they're pretty much always there. And the night of the Academy Awards was no different. On that night in March (now February) my children, the two cats and I would gather in front of our living room or sometimes bedroom TV and take it all in. This was before we all had wide screens that now make the event seem like a private Oscar party. It was just a modest little TV. We'd sit in rapt attention and watch what to me was the most exciting part. Everyone's magical entrance. The Red Carpet.
As each stunning actress made her way through the gauntlet of tedious interviews, I would ooh and aah at how beautiful she was. That's when my kids would turn to me, me sitting there in my dirty sweats, my unkempt hair tied above in a twisted knot, no makeup, and assure me that I was even prettier!!! I'm not kidding. No matter who the actress was or how young and beautiful, my kids would yell, in unison, that I was MUCH prettier. "You're MUCH prettier than her, mom!!" Don't get me wrong, I know they were humoring me, I'm not delusional, but I bought it. And, I looked forward to it every year.
I grew up in Beverly Hills, but on the wrong side of the tracks, south of Wilshire. It wasn't where the stars lived, even though our house was located only a half mile from the Hilton, the current site of the Oscar Nominees Luncheon and the Governor's Ball. My father was a B-movie producer, but most people might grade his movies with a D. He was a joyful, glass-completely-full kind of guy, who was thankful for everyday of his life on this planet.
So, in 1980, when the day came that he was finally recognized for his cinematic achievement, you would have thought he won Best Picture. On the contrary, his 1951 production, "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla" received the Golden Turkey award for Worst Movie of All Time. He beamed at this late recognition. Although he'd often said, "I made 104 movies, all of them shit," he never dreamed that any were award worthy.
My mother assisted the famous makeup artist, George Masters, and together they worked on some of Hollywood's most beautiful actresses. But talk about movie star looks. I stare at my mom's photo now and ask myself, how could I have not told her, even once, that she was more beautiful than any of those red carpet starlets. Unlike me, she, in fact, was. Coulda-woulda-shoulda may also be the reason why the Oscars resonate for all of us – the secret fantasy that that gold statuette coulda-woulda-shoulda been ours. Which is such a stretch for me since I only acted in some commercials in the 70's. But, hey, why not? Dream on.
My real dream is that my kids find their way to reading this piece and show up at my door Sunday night. The big night. Oscar night. I can almost hear them as the A-list nominees strut their stuff down the red carpet: "Mom, you're MUCH prettier!!!".
Fredrica Duke shares how she discovered her love of food while growing up in Los Angeles on her blog Channeling the Food Critic in Me.
Read this article last week when first posted. I love it. I have always (esp. in my youth) been a celebrity watcher, but never saw too many in person. I envy your rubbing shoulders with a few. I still watch the Oscars and my wife (pretty newly married) loves them too. Not a requirement of mine to get married, but makes things happy.
Your article is very sweet and really a special way to spend time with your kids. Very cool. I'd invite you to watch with us, but we are in Seattle...oops. You will be in our thoughts. Enjoy! as we will.
You have such a gift Fredde, in painting w/ words what we can all see so clearly and smile...I love how you write, what you write and that each vision touches so many of us in a completely memorable way...You don't leave anyone out and remind me so often from where we came...We had a great time growing up as we did, didn't we! Thanks for all your memories... xo

Well, here's the shocker: She honestly doesn't KNOW who the father is! Yikes!
She does have it narrowed it down to to two people, though. It's either her ex… or her record producer! Yes, she was hooking up with him at the same time she was with her ex. What a mess! Although it is the kind of drama that would play well on a reality show.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
What's Happened With The Canucks?
by Paul on 03/19/13 at 04:30 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
Sometimes you just get "The Feeling" about a team. That perhaps, this is just not its time.
Or, when you are Alain Vigneault, that this might be the end of your time. In Vancouver, at least.
The Vancouver Canucks have gone blah. Meh…
Watching them used to be must-see TV on a West Coast start after the kids have gone to bed. But that was back when they used to score tic-tac-toe goals, throwing it around on the power play like the Harlem Globetrotters.
Today, the only one in Van City with a ball eternally spinning on the tip of the finger is general manager Mike Gillis, who hasn't been able to find his deal for a goaltender. We applaud his dogged patience, but it has left Vigneault with a Top 6 player dressed in goalie pads and a baseball cap at the end the bench every night, and a wonky team save percentage of .905.

Ansin family to keep working until the cows have no home
Send this to a friend
- Kevin Gale
If you want to see one of Ed Ansin's most valuable assets, you might want to take a ride on Red Road north from the Turnpike Extension in Miramar.
Look to the right, and there's a small herd of grazing beef cattle trailed by egrets that feast on the bugs they stir up. On a sweltering August afternoon, a row of birds was perched on a sign that pointed to the east, indicating the Miramar Park of Commerce was one mile away.
How long the sign will be accurate is questionable as one of the largest office park in Broward County keeps expanding, with tenants such as Spirit Airlines, Premier Beverage, American Express, Airborne Express, Siemens and Gannett.
As South Florida edges closer to build-out, having raw land with cattle is becoming scarce, its value increasing.
Development fueled for decades by cheap land is changing � one sign is Codina Development seeking permission to build outside the urban development boundary down the Turnpike in western Miami-Dade County.
While Codina is dealing with regulators, the Ansin family can expand on land it started accumulating when World War II was fresh news. The cattle munch on about 200 acres that can provide room for phases 5 and 6 of the Ansin family's Miramar Park of Commerce, which already has 3.7 million square feet.
A $130 million Town Center for Miramar, with a new city hall, arts center, library, housing and retail, is planned on a 54-acre site the Ansins expect to sell shortly. Next door to that is a site slated for more retail. Look west past the easement with FPL power lines, and there's another tract of 150 acres whose use hasn't been designated.
But the acreage isn't the only valuable asset Ansin owns. Drive west from I-95 down the 79th Street Causeway in Miami-Dade's North Bay Village and you'll find Ansin in the owner's office upstairs from the newsplex at WSVN, Ch. 7. He and his family also own WHDH, Ch. 7 in Boston.
