The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985)
Critic Consensus: Lighthearted and sweet, The Purple Rose of Cairo stands as one of Woody Allen's more inventive -- and enchantingly whimsical -- pictures.
The Purple Rose of Cairo Videos & Photos
Movie Info
Woody Allen blurs the the boundaries between the real and unreal in this unique comic fantasy. The scene is a small town in the mid-1930s. Trapped in a dead-end job and an abusive marriage, Cecelia (Mia Farrow) regularly seeks refuge in the local movie house. She becomes so enraptured by the latest attraction, an RKO screwball comedy called The Purple Rose of Cairo, that she returns to the theatre day after day. During one of these visits, the film's main character Tom Baxter (Jeff Daniels), pauses in his dialogue, turns towards the audience, and says to Cecelia, "My God, how you must love this picture." Then he climbs out of the movie, much to the consternation of the rest of the audience and the other characters on screen. Liberated from his customary black-and-white environs, he accompanies Cecelia on a tour of the town, eventually falling in love with her. Meanwhile, the other Purple Rose characters, unable to proceed with the film, carry on a discussion with themselves. Desperately, the RKO executives seek out Gil Shepherd, the actor who played the hero of Purple Rose. Shepherd (also played by Daniels), is sent to Cecelia's hometown to see if he can repair the damage. … More

Critic Reviews for The Purple Rose of Cairo
All Critics (35) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (30) | Rotten (3) | DVD (11)
It's a sweet, lyrically funny, multi- layered work that again demonstrates that Woody Allen is our premier film maker who, standing something over 5 feet tall in his sneakers, towers above all others.
When discussing Woody Allen masterpieces, titles like Annie Hall and Hannah and Her Sisters are frequently cited (and rightly so), but where's the love for The Purple Rose of Cairo, a movie that even Woody himself considers among his top two or three?
Woody Allen's bittersweet comedy about the magical allure of movies in the Depression era was nominated for Original Screenplay Oscar, but it's premise is smiliar to that of Buster Keaton's 1924 silent.
Audience Reviews for The Purple Rose of Cairo
Classic and classy Woody Allen. Tom Baxter, an adventurous movie character steps off the screen to woo Cecilia, a starry-eyed, Depression-era waitress and cinephile, but the character's portrayer, Gil Shepherd, a smooth, somewhat megalomaniacal rising star, is called in to counter-woo Cecilia so that the show can go on.
Woody's escapist fantasia is blissful yet tragic, blurring the lines between reality and make-believe, the haves and the have-nots, and love and truth.
It was nice to see young, wispy Dianne Wiest and bug-eyed Glenne Headley as slinky prostitutes. After watching so much cantankerous old Jeff Daniels on "The Newsroom," bright-eyed bushy-tailed young Jeff Daniels is a remarkable palate cleanser, with a great singing voice to boot! Mia Farrow is, of course, charismatic and vibrant with her delicate voice and damselly beauty.
The last scene of her, dejected by the wretched realities of her life yet still utterly captivated by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in "Top Hat," is just the most indelible final image in Woody's canon.

"I just met a wonderful new man. He's fictional but you can't have everything."
In 1930s New Jersey, a movie character walks off the screen and into the real world.
There's no way you can't like the ingenuity of the movie, and the fun it has. It's about the joy of life, and love of the movies, and the difficulty to tell the difference sometimes (at least when in the theater). In some ways this is one of Woody Allen's lightest movies, and certainly lightweight compared to the more serious movies of this period (like the stunning gem, "Another Woman"). It's not zany like his earliest comedies ("Love and Death"). And it's not deeply observant and sometimes downright moving and brilliant like his best movies (like "Annie Hall" or "Crimes and Misdemeanors"). In that way it feels like what some novelists would call an "entertainment" to distinguish from their heavier masterpieces, and sometimes these are the most readable of all. Or the most watchable.
"The Purple Rose of Cairo" is inventive, warm, and touching. It's really high brow hilarious when the people on the screen react to the situation, not only because of the existential reality shift going on, but because they are all high brow types. Then there are the everyday scenes with Mia Farrow, the lead actress in the real world (usually), and support from Danny Aiello, really just a foil for the main romances (two) going on with Farrow (singular). It's not as complicated as it sounds, which might prove the elegance of Allen's writing. A beautiful, delicate movie without undo weightiness. Joyous, yes, even in its melancholy end.
Super Reviewer
One Allen film w/o himself or one of his numerous doppelgangers, which is a clue that here is a subject that is finally larger than Allen: his love of movies, that he freely shares with movie fans everywhere. So he takes one of the movie fan's most cherished desire (" ... I wish I could be there ... or that here was like there ...") and plays with it a little. Mia Farrow plays us, the fan, is our doppelganger, and the movies are a) better than real life, and b) but not real life. One of the better Allen films, Farrow's contented gazing at the screen too brief to be iconic, but it should be ...

Since high school.
When I lived in California and New York, I was able to meet regularly with writers to critique one another's work. I'd like to find a similar situation here in Las Vegas.
I keep a diary, quite extensive, recording my reactions/responses to life's events.
I have done screenplay and short stories. I would like to try a novel.
Born in 1944. Father was a cowboy from Montana and my mother a socialite from Milwaukee--long story there. Dad became a Naval pilot; so, we moved a lot. Schooled at Georgetown Prep and St. Louis U. I spent 5 years in Africa doing volunteer work.

Fiorentina co-owner Andrea Della Valle has warned Juventus they must pay €30 million to sign Stevan Jovetic.
The Turin club are just one of a number of teams to be linked with the Montenegrin playmaker, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City all thought to hold an interest in the 23-year-old.
Antonio Conte's side have already brought in Fernando Llorente and Carlos Tevez to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season, but are still chasing forwards as they look to secure a third Serie A title in a row and improve on last season's run to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
Fiorentina secured the signing of Mario Gomez from Bayern Munich on Monday as they aim to improve on last season's fourth-placed Serie A finish, and Della Valle was quick to stress that they will only part with Jovetic for the right price.
"Give us 30 million euros or nothing," he told Sport Mediaset.
"We need to understand if they have the money or not.
"We do not accept exchanges. Do not go down from 30 million. We will not wait much longer."
Jovetic was a key figure for Vincenzo Montella's side last term as they narrowly missed out on qualification for UEFA Champions League football on the last day of the season to Milan.
The Montenegro international made 34 appearances last season, scoring 13 goals.
And Della Valle hinted that Gomez's signing was not made to replace Jovetic, but complement him.
"It was important and difficult negotiations," Della Valle added.
"Gomez is the missing piece in Vincenzo Montella's team."

The Gospel of Tolerance really only has one rule: thou shalt tolerate any action, belief, lifestyle, agenda, and person except the person who believes a certain lifestyle, action or agenda is wrong and has the gall to say so out loud. The real goal here is not acceptance but submission. It's not enough to "get along" or tolerate quietly. You must approve. You don't dare disapprove publicly. Those who don't tow the line will be punished.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
9/6/2011 (4 years ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Christianity, tolerance, homosexuality, gay marriage, immorality, Stacy Trasancos, Jennifer Hartline
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Catholic Online) - Stacy Trasancos is one gutsy Catholic. Last week she wrote a little blog post about how she's getting tired of wondering "what in tarnation we're going to encounter" every time she and her kids leave the house. Two men ogling each other at the pool? Two women engaged in public displays of affection in the park? These are scenes she'd rather her young children not be exposed to every time they go out in public, but it's become impossible to avoid in her community.
For having the nerve to express her objection to immorality, she's become the object of wrath and nasty threats from homosexual activists. Those who understand how Stacy feels (count me in) also know that her real crime is that she has rejected the Gospel of Tolerance.
The Gospel of Tolerance really only has one rule: thou shalt tolerate any action, belief, lifestyle, agenda, and person except the person who believes a certain lifestyle, action or agenda is wrong and has the gall to say so out loud. The Gospel of Tolerance requires that you have no objection to that which it says must be tolerated. In fact, it requires that you not even question that which it says must be tolerated.
Noncompliance will not be tolerated.
The Gospel of Tolerance only contains one verse: "Judge not, lest ye be judged." It should be edited, however, to read more accurately, "Judge not me nor anything I say, do, or want, lest ye be judged intolerant." In the vocabulary of the Gospel of Tolerance, sin has no meaning. It has no concept at all.
Those who preach this gospel have fashioned a "christianity" more to their liking, since the real thing cannot be tolerated. Theirs is a toothless kitten; soft, warm, cuddly, sleepy and sentimental. Its only purpose is to soothe and affirm. It makes no demands. It certainly will not tolerate any demands forthcoming!
If their christianity has a savior at all, he is merely an amiable, sympathetic mascot for their cause and the only thing he ever said was "Don't judge." The only "sin" to require forgiving is the sin of intolerance, which of course is only committed by those who object to being told what they can and can't object to.
The Gospel of Tolerance is a ruse; it's just a marketing ploy. The real goal here is submission. It's not enough to "get along" or tolerate quietly. You must approve. You don't dare disapprove publicly. Those who don't tow the line will be punished.
Just ask the teachers who've been suspended for expressing opposition to gay "marriage." Or the Catholic health care facilities being told they must dispense contraception against their explicit beliefs; or the Catholic adoption agencies that must close down to avoid being forced to place children with homosexual couples against their explicit beliefs (beliefs they're supposed to have the freedom to live by).
Ask the business owners now fighting lawsuits because they don't wish to participate in gay weddings or receptions. When did they lose the right to run their own business as they wish? Under the Gospel of Tolerance, there is no freedom to disagree, no right to object. You must submit. Either carry the banner or risk losing your livelihood and liberty.
Well here's a radical piece of truth for you: tolerance is not a virtue. It's not a moral victory to acquiesce to evil.
"We need to remember that tolerance is not a Christian virtue. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty -- these are Christian virtues. And obviously, in a diverse community, tolerance is an important working principle. But it's never an end in itself. In fact, tolerating grave evil within a society is itself a form of serious evil." - Archbishop Chaput
It used to be that we could hate the sin and love the sinner, but the problem is now we're not allowed to hate the sin anymore! We have to love the sin, celebrate the sin, and above all, stop calling it sin!
It's not intolerant to make the judgment that something is morally wrong and oppose it. Just as sex does not equal love, neither does tolerance! There is such a thing as sin, and it leads to death, and Love demands that we tell our brothers and sisters the truth so that they might decide to reject sin and gain life.
Christians now find themselves in the sobering territory of the new Dark Ages, when evil is called good and darkness is called light. (Isaiah 5:20)
Well, I'm with Stacy. I've had it with all this darkness parading around as light, being championed by the government, paid for with my tax dollars, shoved in my face and my children's faces and rammed down our throats. I'm tired of being branded a hateful bigot for not abandoning the moral truths that have been the foundation of the human race since time began. And frankly I couldn't care less if you find that intolerant.
I find it intolerable that our children's innocence is being ripped away from them beginning in Kindergarten with the new mandate of Sex-Ed that indoctrinates them into embracing and celebrating homosexuality, trans-sexuality, gender-neutral insanity, every imaginable manner of promiscuity and abortion. It's intolerable that our kids are seen as "sexual beings" rather than human souls.
What's truly intolerable is that the adults in power are robbing the children of childhood purity to further their own immoral agenda. What's horrifyingly intolerable is that killing an innocent child is considered a woman's sacred "right."
It is intolerable that my children will probably not be able to make it to puberty without learning about sodomy and "gay marriage." It is intolerable that before they can even drive a car they will also be convicted of intolerance if they dare to defend true marriage and sexual purity. It's intolerable that they are growing up in a culture that defiles marriage, corrupts the family, perverts sexuality and destroys human life.
The irony is that because I believe that babies in the womb have the right to live and be born and children have the right to a mother and a father who are married to each other and that sex is sacred and beautiful and should be treated accordingly and that marriage only exists between a man and a woman because that is God's plan for the human family, I'm the one who's called an enemy of freedom and human rights and an intolerant bigot.
Then so be it. Far better to be called intolerant than to call evil good.
One last thought - I recently read someone's description of people who were "good Christians" and it boiled down to this: good Christians are tolerant of others. There's that cuddly, feel-good christianity again.
Find your courage, people. The false gospel of tolerance is not our salvation and it will not bring us peace. There is Good News to share and we have to live it without fear!

Timothy West's King Lear Follows Jacobi's Tempest
Editorial Staff • West End • 20 Jan 2003
The ETT production toured for three months in autumn 2002 to great acclaim, winning West a Manchester Evening News award for Best Actor. The actor's last outing in the classic Shakespeare tragedy was in 1997, playing Gloucester to Ian Holm's monarch in the acclaimed National theatre production that was also filmed for the BBC. His son, Samuel West, is currently in contention for Best Actor in the Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards for his RSC Hamlet (to vote, click here).
A veteran of the RSC, National and the West End, Timothy West's other recent stage credits include ETT's The Master Builder, Luther at the National and, appearing opposite his wife Prunella Scales, The Birthday Party and The External. His many television appearances have included Brass, Murder in Mind and Bedtime, while on film, he's been seen in Iris, The Day of the Jackal, Joan of Arc and Ever After.
On tour, West was joined in the cast of King Lear by Dominic Rickhards (Coronation St and Night and Day), David Cardy (Birds Of A Feather), Garry Cooper (film of Beautiful Thing), Patrick Drury (Father Ted) and Jessica Turner (TV's Dr Finlay and Mill on the Floss).
For this new production of King Lear, ETT's artistic director Stephen Unwin has radically simplified the text of Shakespeare's masterpiece - in terms of both stage directions and punctuation - with the aim of allowing actors, directors and other readers to approach the play afresh. The production is directed by Unwin and designed by Neil Warmington, with costumes by Mark Bouman, lighting by Bruno Poet and sound by Olly Fox.
English Touring Theatre was seen in the West End last year with the premiere of Peter Gill's The York Realist, transferred to the Royal Court and on to the West End's Strand Theatre, which has been nominated for two Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Awards.

I would start by looking at StagedAnimation::end and TouchableOverlay::end, particularly for any unhandled NULL pointers, dangling pointers (i.e. stuff you deleted but didn't set the pointer to NULL), or uninitialised pointers.
This turned out to indeed be the cause: when the network connection is bad sometimes the StagedAnimation being used there doesn't exist and TouchableOverlay::end didn't check for that. So this was indeed a simple case of accessing a NULL-pointer.
Also, that means that in this case, the crash report was correct about the stacks, but incorrect about which thread had the problem. Good to know that this is behaviour that can happen in Mac crash reports!
Thanks for the help, folks!

Okay, let me start by saying I cook big dinners for family & friends just about every week. Being Southern Californians the friut usually goes a lot fater than the desserts. That being said, my guests were actually LICKING THE CAKE PLATE when this was all gone. This was fantastic- super yum yum. I made some slight modifications (sorry-- how annoying to rate it when it isn't the same exact recipe but I can never follow directions to a T) Anyway-- I made my own dulce de leche by boiling condenced milk for a few hours in the can. (do at your own risk I am always terrified it will explode on me!) I mixed the chocolate mixture some of the cheesecake mixture before I swirled it and that worked really well. I topped it w/ the dulche de leche. I wish I could eat this for breakfast, lunch & dinner. I will make this aagin or my guests will riotflag if inappropriate
Amazing!! I substituted homemade hot chocolate sauce for the chocolate mixture and also added caramel sauce into the swirls. I also top each piece with hot fudge and caramel sauce.flag if inappropriate
i love this recipe! it is the greatest.!!!!flag if inappropriate
YUM! I have made this twice. The first time I omitted the vanilla by mistake and it still tasted great. I get a great Mexican goat's milk caramel topping at Walmart of all places. An 8 ounce package of the bite size oreos makes shorter work of the mashing for the crust. This is great and really simple for the way it tastes!flag if inappropriate
I continue to make this recipe as a staple in my dessert repertoire, and it turns out fantastic each and every time ~ gets rave reviews and demands for the recipe! I follow the exact recipe, haven't yet tried to make it low-fat but that will be next! :)flag if inappropriate
This was really delicious. I made my own caramel by cooking condensed milk - much better than the store-bought stuff. The amount of chocolate was good - not too much that you couldn't taste the plain cheesecake.flag if inappropriate
This was very impressive. No one believed I made it. It looks spectacular and tastes rich and not too sweet. And- best of all- it HAS to be made the day before!! From the recipe I made 2 smaller cakes in 2 separate, smaller, springform pans. And even though the cakes cracked on top (I didn't use a waterbath), after they chilled overnight, there was no cracking visible. They were beautiful! I served mine with Mrs. Richardson's butterscotch caramel sauce and it was great. I think if I'd used the butterscotch/caramel/fudge it would have been too sweet. This was perfect.flag if inappropriate
This was the best cheesecake I have ever made and not that difficult. Served it to a group of women today and everyone thought it was from a bakery. I followed others suggestions of cooking it in a water bath (which I had never done before) and it never cracked and the crust was moist, not hard. Loved it, this is a keeper!!flag if inappropriate
Excellent basic recipe, I varied it a great deal. I used oreo crumbs, half of the cream cheese was reduced fat and I combined the chocolate with half of the batter to create the swirl - plan to increase the chocolate next time. I also made my own sauce and sprinkled miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips and pecans on top. I took it to work and everyone wanted to know where I bought it. Very creamy and rich.flag if inappropriate
Terrific recipe! I varied it (well, I sort of misread the recipe...) and swirled in the caramel fudge sauce instead of the chocolate cream mixture. It was unbelievable! I used Oreo cookies and ground them in the Cuisinart for the crust. I also cooked the cheesecake in a waterbath and did not have a cracked top. It was beautifully browned with the swirls just peeking through the top. There was no need to serve extra sauce on the side, because my "technical mistake" made the sauce ooze out deliciously over the cookie crust...mmmm, delectible! My new favorite cheesecake recipe.flag if inappropriate

Walk on White
You might have noticed that our little Key West Hotel has a big art collection– we take a lot of pride in supporting local artists and always try to find time to visit the art events around town. Tonight we'll be heading over to the Walk on White, a fun and laid-back event celebrating all the fantastic works of art on White St.
Why not take a leisurely stroll down White Street to see what artists have been up to… and while you're at it, check out the open artist studios at the Armory & 610 White Street along with a special residency cottage open house at 607/609 Ashe Street! Enjoy free wine, light snacks and as much talk about "the painter's intentions" as you can possibly stand.
Have fun out there!
Laugh Till It Hurts
Like most Key West hotels, we at Parrot Key Resort like to think that we have a pretty great sense of humor. (Living on a tiny island that once tried to succeed from the United States, you're pretty much required to be able to laugh at yourself.) Which is why we're going to head down to Aqua Nightclub tonight for "Laugh Till It Hurts," a cavalcade of comedy presented by Standup4KeyWest, our favorite local comedy troupe. For a measly $20 donation at the door, audience members are all but guaranteed a seam-splitting, belly-busting night of laughter. The show starts at 6:30pm and runs until 8:00…that leaves you plenty of time to practice your own standup routine to impress those Standup4KeyWest members afterwards.
Aqua Nightclub is located at 711 Duval Street, right in the middle of downtown Key West. Get there early for the good seats up front!
Pasta Party!

The "Miss Never Say Never" Pageant at Aqua!
Here in Key West we sometimes feel that dressing in drag has become a competitive sport– the best of the best can routinely be seen strutting their stuff down Duval St, and local clubs like Aqua are always packed when their drag shows begin each night of the week. But how does a newcomer to the scene arrange their debut? What happens when a gentleman known to declare "Not me! You'll never see ME in a dress" for years finally decides that maybe he deserves a moment in the spotlight (and in a fabulous wig, perhaps?)
Enter the Aqua Nightclub's "Miss Never Say Never" Pageant, a night dedicated to the debut of those contestants who you never thought you'd see up on stage, happening tomorrow, October 10th, at Aqua from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Cheer your favorite as contestants are judged on pageant classics such as Beauty, Brains and a Q&A. You'll want to get there early for a seat up front!
Aqua is located at 711 Duval St. There is a $10 donation suggested at the door.
Classic Film Screening Tonight: Creature From the Black Lagoon
Start your week off right with a spooky screening presented by Key West's favorite independent movie theatre, the Tropic Cinema! Head down to the theatre tonight to catch a special, one-night-only screening of the 1954 classic horror film "Creature From the Black Lagoon."
This definitive monster movie is not to be missed– get there early for good seats and great snacks! Screening begins at 7:00pm.
The Tropic Cinema is located at 416 Eaton St. For more information, call 305-295-4393.
Dive In Movie: Harold and Maude
Here in Key West we're more likely to head to the "Dive In" than the "Drive In" movie theatre– and tonight they're showing one of our favorites! Head over to our neighbor, Ibis Bay, to catch "Harold and Maud," the 1971 cult classic that chronicles the relationship between an elderly woman and her friend, a young boy with some serious issues surrounding death. The movie begins at 8:00pm, we'll see you there!
Ibis Bay is located at 3101 N. Roosevelt Blvd, Key West, FL,33040, United States (Close enough to Parrot Key to walk!)
Key West WomenFest Begins!
Ladies, rejoice! Key West's annual festival for women is back with a schedule full of fabulous events that are sure to delight. This lesbian-friendly festival sees women from all over the world converge on our little island to kick back, relax and enjoy the party. With a wide variety of activities to satisfy any whim– including dance parties, water excursions, art exhibitions, theatre performances, live music, movie screenings and more– WomenFest offers a jam-packed roster of events that lesbians and their straight allies alike will enjoy.

Isaac Update
We'd like to take a moment to say thank you for all your kind words as we prepared for Tropical Storm Isaac this weekend. We are happy to report that Parrot Key Resort suffered no damage whatsoever from the storm. (We especially enjoyed seeing locals dress up in their hurricane finest as they headed out to Duval St. on Saturday night!) If you have plans to visit this week or for Labor Day Weekend, you will experience no interruption in your visit at our resort due to the storm. Safe travels, we'll be happy to see you when you arrive!
Our favorite way to beat the heat here in Key West…
We're used to a little humidity here at Parrot Key Resort. Summertime in the Florida Keys is a truly tropical affair, with daily temps ranging from sultry to flat-out sticky. We like to think that all that extra moisture keeps our skin looking young (and our air conditioning bills looking scary.)
But when the forecast says that the 70% humidity we're currently weathering isn't expected to break all evening, we pack a bag and head out. Out onto the water, that is.
Did you know that there are a variety of cruises for every price point that leave daily & nightly here in Key West? From big party catamarans with open bars and music, to intimate sailboats that bring you front row to one of our famous sunsets, there's a boat for every taste, wallet and whim. Why not grab your family and head out on a 2-hour snorkle tour? Or tell the wife that the two of you are going dancing tonight…with an ocean breeze to go alongside that live band you'll be swinging to. Kids will love a fascinating glass-bottom boat tour over the reef, while normally-sullen teens tend to go crazy for one of the Ultimate Adventure tours that include so many activities (parasailing, jetski-ing and a giant inflatable ice berg, anyone?) that they've been known to actually put down their cell phones for once. We're especially fond of the champagne sailing trips that pair gorgeous wooden schooners with endless glasses of bubbly. The choices are endless.
Whether it's a private dinner cruise for two or a $40 booze cruise for 50, Key West's waterfront has a variety of ships with competitive pricing to satisfy any desire and budget. Just swing by our front desk and ask one of our friendly agents to help you pick which boat best fits your needs. And remember: no matter how hot it is out by the pools, it's always cooler on the water!

By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht, crashed a Gulfstream jet, and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids who waited at home and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king, here, in Jordan Belfort's own words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called the Wolf of Wall Street.
"My most inthralling listen in a while"
In the 1990s Jordan Belfort, former kingpin of the notorious investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of the canyons of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. Now, in this astounding and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess no one could invent.
"Way too Abridged!"
In this astounding account, Wall Street's notorious bad boy - and original million-dollar-a-month stock chopper - leads us through a drama worthy of The Sopranos, from his early rise to power to the FBI raid on his estate to the endless indictments at his arrest, to his deal with a bloodthirsty prosecutor to rat on his oldest friends and colleagues - while they were doing the same.
"OK...if all you want is ice cream."
Stock market multimillionaire at 26, federal convict at 36, he partied like a rock star, lived like a king, and barely survived his rise and fall as an American entrepreneurial icon. By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could, on drugs, sex, and international globe-trotting.
"Great Read, great performance"
It's good to have an edge in life, and especially on Wall Street. I've made millions for myself and for others with the techniques in this audiobook. I'm not the smartest guy, but I do know how to make millions per month. This book has sold over 50,000 copies. Discover the latest information on weight loss that will help you succeed and balance everyday life. Dr. Harper delivers another number-one best seller. Take control! Take action today and get this audiobook.
Belfort Sales Secrets & Tricky Tactics: How to Sell like the Wolf of Wall Street Belfort's morals were questionable, teaching average guys off the street how to become multi-millionaires with only a script and some brief training. However, what is unquestionable is just how amazing his sales and persuasion skills truly are. If you want to learn how to become a killer closer like the man Belfort himself, then this audiobook is a must-listen!
"Aweful waste of time and money"
August, 1900. William Holt, a reclusive millionaire businessman, has been kidnapped from his grand Coney Island home after the brutal murder of his two bodyguards. Soon, a huge ransom is demanded, and the victim's two sons are given just days to find the money. Inspector Sam Blackstone, now seconded to the New York Police Department, and his partner, Alex Meade, are charged with solving the case, but they'll need to keep their wits about them if they are to solve it in time...
Dear friend, My name is Dwayne Lugo, and I want to teach youhow to become a killer closer...Do you wish you had had the sales skills to build a financial empire like Jordan Belfort did in "the Wolf of Wall Street? The man had not only talent but a flawless training system behind him - the Straight Line System. Netting $50 million a year wasn't a bad deal right? If you want to learn how to be successful in not only sales, but also everyday day life then The Jordan Belfort Selling Machine is the audiobook for you.
"Hatred the narrator voice"
Jordan Belfort is a legend. If you've just watched the new Martin Scorsese Wolf of Wall St film you would've seen that Belfort ran boiler rooms very well, training not Harvard Finance graduates, but basically teenage street punks to be ultra-persuasive, killer closers, netting himself circa $50 million a year. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: A look into the life of Jordan Belfort, a salesman from a young age. The two types of people in this world, and which you should be. The four musts in order to sell. How to make a killer first impression. And much more!

In May former Raider and Packer Charles Woodson signed a deal to return to the Raiders. In Woodson's first stint with Oakland he sported with the number 24, and many fans assumed he would buy the number off of CB Tracy Porter. It now looks like Porter got 24 but might not have had to pay for it. Porter recently tweeted:
Well you Raiders fans…your guy has 24. It was TAKEN from me and given to him. #congrats…..too funny how this biz "works" -Tracy Porter July 24th
Raider Nation certainly hopes this won't cause a rift in the defensive backfield, but apparently those are the perks of being a future Hall of Famer.

"On Beauty" is our original, inspirational series dedicated to beauty, self-love and self-awareness. With fresh-faces and in their own elements, beautiful women from around the world share in their own words what they mean when they crown themselves beautiful. Here is Brandi's story."My older brother dredded his hair when he was in high school. Just this amazing, left-of-the-middle kid in the suburbs of South Carolina that was natty and paid no mind to whether or not it made people uncomfortable. That left an impression on me. I watched how confident he was, and how when he enrolled at an HBCU – people recognized him because of his hair "Oh, you mean the artist with the dreds?!" There were all these black and brown folks that, while admiring his hair, were also trying to make sense of it. That left an impression on me because I'd gotten so much hate in high school for having curly, long hair. People hated to love it and I couldn't understand why. So not only did I follow my brother to college, I shaved my hair off 4 days before I got there. It was freeing for me!
I will have been natural 20 years next year. I've not had chemicals in my hair since I was 17, I'm 36 now so I was way ahead of the movement. I've never attached hair to my identity, ya know? Like, "Brandi, your hair has to be long or straight in order for you to be considered attractive." That was never me. I shaved my head just before I started college in 1994. I went from very long to scalp short and didn't feel the least bit insecure about it. I've also had dredlocks for some of that time.
Everyday I use either Shea Moisture Hibiscus and Coconut Hair Milk, Belle Butter's Unyevu Butter or Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner. For co-washing I use Shea Moisture Restorative Conditioner and for weekly deep conditioning I use Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque and Camille Rose Natural's Algae Deep Conditioner.
Shea Moisture products are my staples. The Shea Moisture Hibiscus and Coconut Hair Milk is something I can't live without. I've learned what my hair likes and what it doesn't and I pay close attention to ingredients. The fact that their line has simple, all natural ingredients is why I love them. I'll experiment sometimes, but I always go back. I also really like Giovanni's Leave-In Conditioner. I use that in conjunction with Shea Moisture. I'm really particular about the ingredients in products and those two brands are all natural.
I cowash and do a deep conditioning steam every Sunday. I also use an apple cider vinegar rinse once a month to control build up. I'm not very experimental with styles. I don't know how to cornrow or do flat twists. But my girlfriend is very talented in that area so she will often try different styles on me. I really love a good bun! Sleek or messy, it doesn't matter – I'm a bun girl!! It's my favorite way to wear my hair but I have to be careful with how much stress I put on my hairline.
My skin and I have a love/hate relationship. Like seriously! I started going to a dermatologist at 13. I've always used expensive, doctor prescribed products that made my skin very angry. In recent months things just turned around. I wash my face every morning with Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap, I moisturize with Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture in the morning and Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream at night. Throughout the week I rotate between Belle Butters Neutralizing Butter for Oily Skin and Mario Badescu Drying Mask to treat my skin. For some reason, it's working!
I wear make-up most days. Definitely five days a week for work and the weekends depends on where I'm going, but I'm not one of those girls that has to wear make-up to the grocery store. My go-to products are foundation, concealer and mascara. I put on lipstick if I think about it, otherwise I don't. I also love a nice bronzer during the summer. As I move through my 30s, moisturizing my skin is really important for me so I try to be diligent about that as well. I want my skin to stay supple and smooth for as long as possible. My favorite foundation so far is NARS in Macao. My skin seems to love it and the color match is spot-on for the most part. As far as concealers go - I'm still searching for the perfect one! I go back and forth between Laura Mercier and NARS. I struggle with under eye circles so I really want to find one where the coverage looks natural. And lipsticks... I'm no fuss really. I absolutely love a creamy, nude lip. I achieve that with MAC Fresh Brew lipstick mixed with Shock-O-Late lip glass. And I'm a fan of a bold, matte red lip. I love NYX matte red! It's cheap, price wise and it stays on forever! When I'm feeling footloose and fancy-free, I'll do a fuschia lip! Slowly but surely, I'm playing with lip colors!
I was always very well endowed as a girl, since 3rd grade. The way I was made to feel for having large breasts took a serious toll on my self-esteem for many years. I layered my clothing and tried very hard to hide my body. I wasn't comfortable fully dressed among people and I wasn't comfortable fully nude at home alone. I had breast reduction surgery in 2011 and since then I've redefined for myself what it means to be a woman. This is my body, this is how things move, hang and sit. I define that now, not other people. And now, bras are optional.
One of my favorite features is my back. It's an interesting piece of skin because there are a lot of stories (tattoos) on it! My smile, the color of skin, my long forehead, my character – those things make me beautiful.
Beauty, for me equals self-acceptance. You have all these things that make you who you are in this moment...all these experiences, transformations and life lessons and you're at a point in life where you've made sense of it all. Your building blocks, so to speak, are finally sturdy and you're grateful for who you are and excited about what is yet to come! I think that energy shows through in people. I can see it and I find it to be beautiful. Oh, and there's something so captivating about people who don't try to hide their shortcomings! Those are the most beautiful people.
I feel beautiful because I know myself very well. Having a low sense of self worth is emotionally expensive, period. I know what I'm good at and what I struggle with. I know what makes me feel strong and what makes me feel vulnerable and I'm really good at expressing all of that. I've done enough self examining and growing over the years that I'm very aware of how all those parts of me effect me and the people I love. That makes me feel beautiful.
I don't even know if I ever even considered who I would become when I was younger. I had a clear picture of who I wanted to be professionally, but I was all over the place mentally and emotionally. Today, my sense of self worth is much, much stronger, I place value on people and relationships in a way I never did at 26 and I'm nowhere near as fear-driven as I was then. If I could go back in time, I would tell my 10 year old self that the journey to feeling beautiful and loving yourself is going to be challenging! For a long, long time, self acceptance will be number one on a long list of things you don't think you're capable of. You'll find yourself, at times, with wounds, fears, and intense loneliness. You will discover that you are deeply compassionate!! You will cry for people and animals with the same level of intensity. You will learn after your 20s that all of your recklessness was because you were hiding who you were - your body and your sexuality. And your 30s will teach you that once you discover who you are, you need to be thoughtful and selective about the kind of people you have in your life. How you treat yourself and how you treat others defines beauty and self love.
When a woman is doubtful about going natural because she thinks she won't be beautiful enough, I say if you choose it for yourself, if it makes you feel confident and expresses what you want it to express, you will look amazing.
I am really proud of the woman I am. I see my vulnerability and my transparency as strong qualities about myself. I don't always feel beautiful but I always feel grateful. I am grateful for my relationships, I am grateful for the life I've created for myself, and I'm grateful that I have sense enough to work on myself instead of allowing my struggles to define me. Self worth doesn't lay idle – it has to be nurtured if you're going to grow it and keep it.
I've not become who I am by trying to be perfect, emulating anyone else, being complacent or tearing other folks down. I understand myself. I take risks. I cry, a lot. I love strong. And I am Freddie and Debra's child. I'd say that sums it up." - Brandi

Contact Air France if you have a flight scheduled this weekend.
From ap:
"Air France warned on Wednesday of significant disruptions to flights during a four-day French pilots strike set to start Friday.
The carrier said the walkout was called to protest the French Parliament's coming discussion of a broad reform bill that could extend the retirement age for pilots to 65 from 60.
Air France said it expected nearly half of its 833 scheduled mid- and long-range flights Friday to be canceled, and possibly more long-distance flights later."
