Skip to comments.Letter from Major Chuck Larson
Posted on 01/30/2005 4:07:58 AM PST by Conservativegreatgrandma
Major Larson has been in Iraq with an Army Reserve Unit. Major Larson is an Iowa Senator and past Chairman of the Iowa Republican Party.
"Dear Friend,
Thank you for your friendship, prayers, and the support you have given our troops in Iraq. My long journey has come to an end, and I will be returning to the United States very soon.
Our higher headquarters has scheduled a welcome home ceremony on February 10th or 11th, 10:00 a.m. at the Hotel Ft. Des Moines, located at 10th and Walnut Ave in Des Moines. I will send you the final date as soon as possible.
I would like to introduce you to the great men and women of our command. I am honored to have served in the company of these soldiers who left their families to bring freedom and democracy to a people they didn't know in a country they had never seen.
Without doubt, this has been a year of tremendous achievement and tragic loss in Iraq. The Coalition Forces have made great progress in moving Iraq towards democracy. With elections less than 12 hours away, we are anxious to see the culmination of our hard work.
Iraqis are freedom loving people that are extremely thankful for all of the sacrifices we have made for them. Like us, they want to live in peace, have good schools for their children, good paying jobs, and the opportunity to improve their lives. Democracy represents that opportunity.
The enemy of freedom in Iraq is made up of elements of Saddam Hussein's regime that lived like kings and religious extremists who are categorically opposed to individual liberty. Iraq's oil wealth mirrors that of Saudi Arabia's. Billions of dollars in oil revenue allowed Saddam Hussein and the enemy to live as modern day Egyptian pharaohs. They ruled with an iron fist, killing over a million of their own people.
During this year, I have met Iraqis who have been tortured and had their entire families killed by Saddam's regime. This is why freedom, democracy, and the elections tomorrow are so important to the people of Iraq.
In addition to my legal responsibilities, I spearheaded our command's humanitarian mission and supervised the construction of 12 new schools, 3 city halls, 2 water treatment facilities, a veterinarian clinic, and the renovation of a rural community's electrical infrastructure. No longer will the children we helped attend school in a windowless, mud brick building. Other units have built hundreds of schools, health clinics, water-treatment systems to improve the quality of life in Iraq.
I thank Americans for their support of Operation Iraqi Hope. We received approximately $100,000 in school and medical supplies from over 25 states. Churches, service clubs, Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts, and even new Americans learning English as a second language in Texas joined to help the children of Iraq. The donated school supplies were distributed to 17,000 Iraqi children. I will never forget the excitement in their eyes as they received pencils, pens, and spiral notebooks. Thank you for making this possible.
During our recent transfer of command ceremony, a MEDEVAC helicopter flew over head carrying an injured soldier to the base hospital. It was a reminder of the great sacrifices made by our soldiers. My prayers remain with the families of the three soldiers and three Marines from our command who paid the ultimate price. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Please keep our troops in your prayers.
Shortly, I will return to the land of the free and the home of the brave. Having spent a year in the combat zone, those words have taken on a much more personal and powerful meaning for me. We are a nation rich with opportunity to better our lives and to live freely.
God bless,
Major Chuck Larson Command Judge Advocate 372nd Engineer Group"
Great letter, and you probably know this man.
Yes, I know Chuck. We are good friends. I was going to post this letter on ATRW, I guess I'll just let CGG (a dear friend who I see almost every day) take care of it for me.
Thank you V, for posting this thread. See you tomorrow.
Good Morning Tonk. Could you please ping your list to this letter from my friend, Chuck Laron? TIA
Is he any relation to retired Adm. Chuck Larson, former superintendent at the Naval Academy, who threw away his RINO membership and ran a disaterous campaign for Lt. Governor with Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, in Maryland, 2002?
I don't know the answer to your question. Major Larson's DAD is in Iraq, too. The younger Larson is 36. I know his Dad, who is a former Federal Judge, is serving in some sort of Legal Advising Capacity,, for some reason I'm thinking he is helping to set up the new Iraqi Government. Larson the Older is well past 60.
I hope I have the details regarding the Older Larson halfway correct.
I forgot to mention that Major Larson is actually Chuck Larson Jr. His Dad is known as Charles Larson. If he is related to the RINO you mentioned it wouldn't be closely related.
Okay. I guess they're not related, not as father and son. I hope you are doing well up there. We have a little snow in Maryland.
"Good Morning Tonk. Could you please ping your list to this letter from my friend, Chuck Laron?"
Iowa Granny
Thank You so much for posting this uplifting and joyful letter.
Thank You, Tonk, for the ping. Wonderful letter.
Doing well here. Snow ever couple of days, but that is to be expected in January in Iowa. Nothing major, just annoying.
A friendly 'scratch behind the ears' to Ralph!
thanks for doing your thing, Tonk. Conservativegreatgrandma and I appreciate your help.
One of us will have to give a report of the Welcome Home Party at the Ft Des Moines.
Thanks for the ping. I wish about 200 million more Americans could read this.
Great letter, thanks for the ping.
God Bless them.
BTTT God bless this man and his troops! BTTT
Lest We Forget ~ Let Freedom Reign!
Chuck's letter makes me feel the emotions of intense love and respect for Chuck and all his men. This day validates all they've done. God bless all of them. See you tomorrrow.
Ping to a letter from my friend who will be returning soon from Iraq.
oh thanks~!!
What a great letter, and it just repeats the wonderful things I hear from guys and gals at work when they return from the "Sand Box".
I love them all!!!
Great letter. Thanks for the ping.
Thanks for the ping!
Did (do) you like Doug Gross as much as Chuck said he did?
I'm a little more conservative than Chuck. I supported Sukup in the last primary for Gov. That didn't keep Chuck and I from being friends. We both knew the other would support the eventual winner. No question about it.
This time around, I am supporting Nussle. 2/3 of the Republican voters live East of Des Moines. It is important that we win this primary, and I believe having a familiar face is the key to winning.
I have no political problems with Vander Plaats, only that he lives too far West.
thanks for posting a link to Larson Sr's article.
I believe it is okay to post links, however Gannatt has asked that articles NOT be copied and pasted here.
See you around 3:30 pm today. Coming in late due to business.
Tonk: Here's another article from the Des Moines Register by Charles Larson, Sr. Hope it's ok to post it.
Thanks for pinging it, if you will.
Thanks for the ping!
Your Welcome my Mentor!
My pleasure, Hero!!!
He!! yeah, ping!
Morning Tonk. Kudos to the Larsons.
God bless Maj. Larson and all who serve..A wonderful letter.
Great post.
I went to college with Chuck. Solid fella. Will be good to have him home.
Thank you for the ping!!
Great article ~ thanks Tonk!
Well, Iowa GOP could sure use his vote! Oficially 25-25!
Well, Iowa GOP could sure use his vote! Oficially 25-25!
Thanks, Tonk. You're a real asset.
Charles Sr. and Chuck Jr. are great Americans.
And a FINE ping it was.
Tell him welcome home for me. I don't have the words to express just how proud I am of the people serving in Iraq, and what they are doing and how they are doing it.
Truly they are doing the Lords work.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2-3) @ Minnesota Twins (1-4)
Pitching Probables: LAA – Dan Haren (0-1, 8.44 ERA) MIN – Francisco Liriano (0-1, 11.25 ERA)
Game Info: 10:10 AM PT; TV - Fox Sports West; Radio - KLAA 830
In baseball, the role of an ace is often said to be to step in and lead the team to a win when the team is down. That is why it is so nice for the Angels to have three, arguably four, aces. As such, this would be the ideal game for Dan Haren to don his ace cap, or should it be a cape? I think an ace should wear a cape, because capes are for heroes... but I digress. The problem is that Haren's cap/cape may not be available to him since he is allegedly still battling a nasty case of dead arm.
Let's hope that the answer is "yes" because the Angels really need an ace for today's game. The offense just isn't clicking and they are now on the verge of dropping their first two series of the season, both of which would be to AL Central teams that will likely finish the season with losing records. This we cannot abide. Time for that dead arm to come alive!

Plot Summary
Two years after the events in "Final Fantasy VII", a disease called 'Seikon-Shoukougun', or 'Geostigma', is spreading through the planet. This disease is believed to have been caused by the body fighting off foreign material that invaded the body two years earlier, at the end of "Final Fantasy VII". Guilt-ridden and haunted by his past, ex-SOLDIER Cloud Strife has decided to live a secluded, solitary life away from his friends while maintaining "Strife's Delivery Service", whose headquarters is located in Tifa Lockheart's bar, the Seventh Heaven. Tifa's bar serves as an orphanage for children stricken with Geostigma. Here, Tifa keeps an eye on Barret's six-year-old daughter, Marlene, while Barret searches the planet for an alternative energy source to the Planet's energy, Mako. One day, Cloud receives a phone call from the former Shinra, Inc. president, Rufus, asking him for protection from a mysterious man named Kadaj. Kadaj, in the meantime, along with his brothers Loz and Yazoo, are searching for their "mother", and seem to believe that Cloud knows where to find her. Meanwhile, Vincent Valentine has been wandering the planet gathering information on Kadaj's scheme, and Cloud and his friends must come together again to fight these new enemies.- Written by Andrea
Two years after "Final Fantasy 7", life seems to have returned to a state of normality after Sephiroth's attempts at mass genocide and the danger of Meteor. On the edge of the ruins of the metropolis Midgar, a new city has thrived, called the Edge and at it's center lies a monument that entails no one will forget Meteor and the ones who died. Cloud Strife, the hero who defeated Sephiroth, is a delivery boy now, no longer interested in fighting wars or leading rebellions. The world is at peace, and AVALANCHE is gone it's separate ways. Tifa Lockheart has reopened the new 7th Heaven, in the Edge, looking after Marlene and other orphans, including Denzel. Barret Wallace is working with the WRO in finding new energy sources to supply the world now that Mako is no longer used. Cid Highwind is also working with the WRO, as an airship pilot and leader of their air fleet. Reeve (and Cait Sith) is now heading the WRO and working, striving, to create a better world for all. Vincent Valentine has returned to solace, switching his places between his mansion home in Nibleheim and the Sleeping Forest, and the Forgotten City. Yuffie Kirisagi is back in Wutai, though what the Ninja is doing is unknown to all. But despite this lull in adventure, there is something that is striving the world. Geostigma, the Sephiroth, JENOVA's memetic legacy. A disease that counters the body's own defence system in on itself and causes it to destroy itself. Rufus ShinRa, ex-President of Midgar, is a sufferer of the disease, along with the ex-SOLDIER Cloud, and lives now in his hide-away home the Healin Lodge with his faithful bodyguards, the Turks. But who are the mysterious silver haired band, known as Kadaj's Gang? Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo, all of silver hair and teal eyes. Who are these strange people, who appear so much like Sephiroth?- Written by Olek Tamarani
An ex-mercenary is forced out of isolation when three mysterious men kidnap and brainwash the city's children afflicted with the Geostigma disease.- Written by Sean
The film begins with a scene in an area surrounded by rock formations. A red, lion-like beast known as Red XIII (Liam O'Brien) can be seen with two younger members of the same species running along the cliff...See full synopsis » (Warning: contains spoilers!)

Quadruple amputee's home burglarized as she awaits arm transplant in Boston
- Katy Hayes has been approved by Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston to receive a double arm transplant as soon as a donor becomes available
- Her family home has been robbed and her modified van was also attempted to be stolen
A mother of three who is awaiting a double arm transplant at a Boston hospital has had her home burglarized repeatedly since her amputations in 2010.
Katy Hayes, 44, lost all four limbs to a flesh-eating bacteria and has been approved for a double arm transplant at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital in what will be the first such procedure performed in the United States.
But while waiting for the operation, Katy, of Kingwood, says an intruder 'took sentimental items we can never get back'.
Katy Hayes (pictured speaking at a press conference last year) is awaiting a double arm transplant
'That really hurt us deep. They took the necklace my grandfather wore through a Nazi prison and my great grandmother's ring we were going to give to our daughter,' her husband Al Hayes told KHOU.com.
Katy's specially modified van was also attempted to be stolen on another occasion while her neighbors where out of town at the start of July.
The family then received another blow when they were asked to leave a hotel in Connecticut on July 3rd because Katy's disability made the owners feel uncomfortable.
Her husband said: 'I called the front desk to say the TV wasn't working and they guys said we're really not comfortable with your wife's disability and we'd like for you guys to check out.
'It was humiliating and frustrating', he said.
The family have continued to stay positive throughout adversity though and Katy says the first thing she wants to do with her new arms is 'smack my husband.'
Al told the
Houston, Texas, new site: 'We're blessed. We're lucky. We've won the
lottery and we're still married even if she's going to hit me when she
gets her arms.'
Katy will receive two new arms above the elbow but the former massage therapist still hasn't had a date approved for the transplant.
Katy Hayes and her husband Al after he made the decision to have her limbs amputated after his wife fell into a coma as she suffered the affects of a flesh eating bacteria
Approved by the pioneering hospital for the transplant after undergoing a rigorous evaluation, Katy has battled through two years of rehabilitation as a result of losing all her limbs after giving birth to her third child in 2010.
'I want my life back,' said Hayes to reporters at a press conference last September.
'I want to hold my children, I want to hug my husband, I want to cook dinner.'
Hayes lost her arms and legs to a Group A Streptococcal infection that accelerated into flesh eating bacteria four days after giving birth to her third child.
The former
runner and yoga enthusiast had her arms amputated above the elbow, her
legs above the knees and also lost her uterus and her large intestines
as doctors battled to keep her alive.
'I never thought about how much a gift your hands are,' said Hayes at the press conference.
'When you don't have hands, you can't wear rings.'
After raising $200,000 to cover living expenses, Hayes and her family moved from Texas in July 2012 to prepare for the surgery.
Before: Katy and Al Hayes with their children Amber and Jake (left) and the happy couple on their 10th wedding anniversary (right)
'She knew from day one she wanted arm transplants, not just prosthetics,' her brother-in-law Tom Phelps said to the Boston Herald.
'I'm just shocked and amazed that science has come this far.
is just a wonderful and fabulous person, and the tragedy of her getting
the strep and how it ravaged her body was just a nightmare, but she's
so strong, she just pulled through.
'I'll never forget when she woke up from the coma,' he recalled. 'She was like, 'OK, let's get to work,' and we were all saying, 'No, you need some down time.'
Hayes also underwent psychological and physical screening at the hospital to determine her eligibility for the grueling surgery and long recovery.
The transplant could give Hayes the ability to flex and extend her elbows and to lift herself out of a wheelchair.
The level of function she will acquire, especially in her new hands, is uncertain, said Bohdan Pomahac, director of plastic surgery transplantation at the Brigham.
All the previous above-the-elbow arm transplants similar to the procedure being planned for Hayes have been performed in Munich, Germany, by Dr. Christoph Hoehnke.
Katy Hayes had psychological and physical screenings to see if the Boston hospital would allow her to have the complicated surgery
For Katy Hayes the loss of her independence has been difficult but her husband Al has called her his hero
Katy Hayes and her husband Al on their wedding day on July 31st, 1999. Katy Hayes has said that what she is most looking forward to is wearing her wedding ring again
When the operation is carried out a team of 40 doctors will be involved said Dr. Pomhac.
The double transplant will connect skin, muscle, bone and blood vessels in both arms.
However, while doctors and experts do not doubt the ability of the surgical team at Brigham and Women's to attach arms onto Hayes, some are unsure whether full function will be restored.
This is due to the fact that unlike internal organ transplants, hand and arm transplants are dependent on nerve regrowth to function normally said Dr. Vijay Gorantla, the administrative medical director of the Pittsburgh Reconstructive Transplant Program at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Nerves regrow at the speed of around one millimeter a day said Gorantla, who has been involved in previous Brigham and Women's surgical procedures.
'The recipient nerves have to regrow in the donor shell,' said Gorantla to ABC News.
'At this point, there's no technology to expedite that growth.
'Theoretically, there's a risk that these patients may not be functional or as functional as a distal hand transplant.'
Katy Hayes and her daughter, Arielle, at home in Texas following Katy's amputations
Struggle: Despite fitted with limbs that help her walk on her own, her struggle has been beyond difficult and she at first wondered if it was worth it, before remembering her family
Hayes has paid tribute to the medical team at Brigham and Women's as she prepares to enter the next phase of quest to regain arms.
'These doctors are true rock stars. They're giving so much hope to people, especially veterans, who are coming home with missing limbs,' she said.
Hayes touched the heart of the nation in 2010 when it was revealed she had contracted a flesh eating bacteria while giving birth to daughter Arielle.
Surgeons in Houston, Texas, had no choice but to amputate her arms and legs to save her life.
After returning home Hayes, a massage therapist, struggled to come to terms with the loss of her limbs.
She was fitted with prosthetic arms allowing her to hold her baby daughter for the first time.
Hayes learned to cope with her new life with the help of her two other children, 18 year old daughter Amber and eight year old son, Jake.
Decision: It was after delivering her third child, a baby girl, that Mrs Hayes woke to find her husband had made the life-saving decision to have doctors amputate her limbs

The mother of three told WFAA TV that she was looking forward to the simple things with the arm transplant.
'Brushing my teeth; washing my face; wiping my own butt,' Hayes said. 'You know — things that everyone takes for granted.'
Her husband, Al, said he is also dreaming of the smaller things.
'I think about things like feeling her arms around me, or feeling her touch my hair,' he said. 'I'm looking forward to her rediscovering the joy in simple touch.'
Brigham and Women's is working with the New England Organ Bank, a New England-based organ procurement organization, to find Hayes a donor.

How Brexit can mean Brexit
In order to regain control of our borders we must reject the single market and go for free trade with the EU instead. Johnson, Davis and Fox are the right people to get us where we need to be. It's happening. Britain is indeed leaving the EU- 22 July 2016
Free movement and Brexit
Post Brexit, the way to control numbers will be through a work permit system with quotas for skilled and qualified people we want, adapted to our needs. There is no need to stop people coming here as visitors or to invest and set up businesses. Yet again, Brexit is going to be perfectly smooth, defying all the scare stories- 21 July 2016
Melania Trump's not unusual "plagiarism"
Few can strike up the originality of Demosthenes or Cicero, or Churchill or Hemmingway. Melania Trump's minor transgressions pale, especially when compared to Joe Biden's, Martin Luther King Jr's, or even Barack and MIchelle Obama's. It's a tempest in a teapot- 20 July 2016
Article 50 and the Brexit process explained

May's first test. Hit EU bigots like Tusk hard, real hard
Hard-line neo-authoritarian Donald Tusk, European Council President, has said he wants to punish Britain for having the temerity to vote to leave the EU. Let's fight back. Ban this bigot, and demand his dismissal now- 14 July 2016
Good luck Theresa May. Here's your existential challenge
Good luck to Britain's new Prime Minister. Theresa May got her job on merit. No pseudo-feminism of the Left. Now she must govern on principle. Here are 2, key first steps to show she means business about Brexit. It's existential Theresa. Just do it- 13 July 2016
Let's get cracking on Brexit: borders and money first
The negotiation needs to start from the proposition that we are taking back control of our borders and money. These should not be in contention. The only thing the UK would like is continued tariff free trade. How's that for a plan?- 12 July 2016
Shaking the status quo on women and Jews in Algeria

Obama slaps Remain, says Brexit will be orderly
Humiliated, cynical, rump Remain has a certain power to spook confidence. But only for a short while. It's amazing how little of their scaremongering has come true. Obama says, in a slap in the face to Remain, Brexit will be an "orderly transition". And so it will- 8 July 2016

Lying Remain camp responsible for eruption of racism
The entire Remain campaign was based on a pack of lies. Most of the scares have already been exposed. But by haunting immigrants with fears of being deported, and thus whipping up race-based hysteria, they have one last card to play in their shameful effort to smash the democratic will of the people- 5 July 2016
A brief Brexit blueprint
It is doubtful Remainers would have shown any decency to Brexiteers if they had won. But we must not stoop to their level. A solid plan for Brexit must be inclusive of all Britons' views. Here's how, says Matthew Ellery from Get Britain Out- 3 July 2016
What's Remain on about? Of course Brexit has a plan
The Europhiles' charge of the day is that Brexiteers don't have a plan. But we do -- to leave the EU. There is only one substantive question: remain in the single market, or go for a free trade deal. The rest, for both sides, is just tactics. Remain's argument is, once again, specious- 1 July 2016

Movies and Musicals Saturday 14 September 2013
"Gypsy is nothing if not Broadway's own brassy, unlikely answer to 'King Lear" (Theatre critic Frank Rich)
The musical Gypsy is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist, and focuses on her mother, Rose, whose name has become synonymous with "the ultimate show business mother." It features several hit songs from the pen of Jule Style and Stephen Sondheim including 'Some People' and 'Everything's coming up Roses". Aedín checks out three leading ladies on three different recordings of this great musical, Ethel Merman, Patti LuPone and Imelda Staunton
Classics from the stage and screen for your Saturday afternoon. Music from the pen of Clint Eastwood this afternoon and Aedín also includes some sensational songs of Cole Porter.

|[Android] Plugin.ctx needs a rename
|Mon, 18 Jun 2012 18:45:46 GMT
Hey Since we're approaching 2.0 and since part of the goals of 2.0 is to improve the plugin architecture, I'm wondering if we should take the opportunity to give the CordovaInterface variable on Plugin.java a name other than ctx, which on Android usually refers to a context. The reason for this is the fact that there's a use case where the CordovaInterface may not be a Context. I propose that we change the name to cordova. I'm not sure if this needs a JIRA ticket or not. Any thoughts? Joe

Online streaming has been the quiet partner in the audio delivery realm, although we have talked about it since the late 1990s. Some stations have streamed all this time, while others have come and gone; and some have come back.
From a business point of view, streaming's challenge is its profitability (or lack thereof so far). The complex and comparatively expensive royalty issues alone discourage many from pursuing it. The bandwidth costs of the one-to-one transmission (rather than the one-to-many system of broadcast) are also a challenge. The more popular your stream becomes, the more expensive it is to deliver.
Through all this, there are those who maintain that streaming is just not worth the effort. If that's the case, why are online services so omnipresent? Pandora, Slacker, iHeartRadio and others maintain visibility in the news, in social network circles and even our own industry press. How many sessions at conventions include some mention of if not a total focus on streaming? For an activity that's not that important it sure has a following.
For Pandora, Slacker and others, online is their only game. Unlike iHeartRadio and CBS Interactive, which have established broadcast brands to fuel their efforts, the online-only crowd has to make it solely on their online efforts. Streaming is not a value added, it's their asset.
In July, Clear Channel's iHeartRadio made a splash about adding more Pandora-like features to its app. That's good for iHeartRadio, but also a push for Pandora (which also recently gained public investors). We know the saying about imitation being the highest form of flattery.
Clear Channel has planned a huge Las Vegas event in September to kick-off the new features. As the event approaches we'll hear more about it, but we'll also hear more about listening to streams online. It seems streaming is important again.
While radio likes to downplay the role of online-only streamers, they should still be watched. As I noted earlier, streaming has its downsides, but the number of consumers carrying some kind of connected device continues to grow. While the NAB pushes to have FM included in all cell phones, broader online choices continue to grow. (I should note that this entire discussion relates to streaming in general. The debate of streaming vs. over-the-air broadcasting during emergencies and times of high data traffic are not the norm. Over-the-air has certain advantages at certain times, but this is all about the routine use, not emergencies.)
What's the appeal of Pandora? The new features of iHeartRadio seem to answer that. Listeners can access various stations online of course, but they can also create their own custom stations based on their listening preferences. Clear Channel says its new service will also add non-audio features such as song lyrics, contests and locally targeted news updates. Localism added to an Internet stream? Gee, that sounds just like ... radio.
Clear Channel also says it won't need to make money from the new service. I find that hard to believe. A business is created to make money in some way. According to an iHeartRadio statement, the service will be successful if it helps Clear Channel reach audiences in different ways. There's merit to that idea; extending the reach and reinforcing the brand is a good thing. But if it's not adding something to the bottom line I don't see the practice continuing forever.
Radio stations have one advantage in streaming: They already know how to create an audio stream to a target audience. And while anyone has yet to really find the hook in making streaming a profitable venture, it has the advantage of furthering a station brand. It also keeps a station relevant in the eyes of the online listener.

Stay in the Know!
Royal Opera House
RUNNING TIME: 3:10 with two intermissions
Joyce DiDonato and Vittorio Grigolo lead the cast with the Royal's Antonio Pappano in the pit in Benoit Jacquot's sumptuous production of Massenet's operatic tragedy of duty and desire. There is no other opera quite like Werther. The music comes in the wake of French grand opera and is influenced by Wagner, but paradoxically the drama is as intimate as any — no chorus, no public grandstanding, just two characters probing each other's emotions. Although both are new to their roles (neither had previously performed them on stage), DiDonato and Grigolo do not disappoint. This latest Royal On Screen event offers an exceptional opportunity to witness two of the world's top ten opera artists locked in impassioned musical embrace. London's Financial Times proclaims: "WERTHER is one of the high points of Romantic opera. The emotional temperature hits boiling point. The air sizzles. And, no other pair has set the stage alight here as they do."
Eat That Question:
Born in 1940, FRANK ZAPPA - self-taught composer, musician, bandleader, producer and independent thinker -first transcribed his avant-garde, Varese-influenced compositions onto paper at fourteen. He only began to write lyrics in his early twenties. Nevertheless, upon the '66 release of his debut album, FREAK OUT! (with THE MOTHERS OF INVENTION), he swiftly became the most quotable voice of dissent in popular music.
A subtle, skillful montage constructed solely from historic footage, EAT THAT QUESTION- FRANK ZAPPA IN HIS OWN WORDS is an energetic celebration of this outspoken maestro. Zappa died far too early, in 1993, of cancer. How important then, that such unforgettable Zappa interviews and performances across three decades have been painstakingly gathered by director Thorsten Schutte from the obscure vaults of TV stations around the world to create this unique 90 minute feature documentary. Following Zappa from clean-shaven, besuited youth, to fearless chief freak, to his relentlessly productive final days before his death at 52, this new film seats us right up front from the start; close enough to Zappa to read the flickering emotions in his eyes.
Almeida Theatre - London
RUNNING TIME: 3:10 with one intermission
Ralph Fiennes returns to the Almeida after 16 years to play Shakespeare's most notorious villain opposite Vanessa Redgrave as Queen Margaret in an emotionally wrought staging directed by Almeida Artistic Director Rupert Goold. War-torn England is reeling after years of bitter conflict. King Edward is ailing, and as political unrest begins to stir once more, Edward's brother Richard – vicious in war, despised in peacetime – awaits the opportunity to seize his brother's crown. Through the malevolent Richard, Shakespeare examines the all-consuming nature of the desire for power amid a society riddled by conflict. Olivier-winning director Rupert Goold's (Macbeth, King Charles III) searing new production hones a microscopic focus on the mythology surrounding a monarch whose machinations are inextricably woven into the fabric of British history.
One of the most talented, influential, and iconoclastic filmmakers of all time, Brian De Palma's career started in the 60s and has included such acclaimed and diverse films as Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Scarface, The Untouchables, Carlito's Way , and Mission: Impossible. In this lively, illuminating and unexpectedly moving documentary, directors Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow engage in a personal and candid discussion with De Palma, exploring not only his life and work but also his singular approach to the craft of filmmaking and his remarkable experiences navigating the film business, from his early days as the bad boy of New Hollywood to his more recent years as a respected veteran of the field. In the end, what emerges is a funny, honest, and incisive portrait of a truly one-of-a-kind artist, and an exhilarating behind-the-scenes look at the last 50 years of the film industry through the eyes of someone who has truly seen it all.
Eva Hesse (1936-1970) is one of America s foremost postwar artists. Her pioneering sculptures, using latex, fiberglass, and plastics, helped establish the post-minimalist movement. Dying of a brain tumor at age 34, she had a mere decade-long career that, despite its brevity, is dense with complex, intriguing works that defy easy categorization. EVA HESSE, the first feature-length appreciation of her life and work, makes superb use of the artist's voluminous journals, her correspondence with close friend and mentor Sol LeWitt, and contemporary as well as archival interviews with fellow artists (among them, Richard Serra, Robert Mangold, Dan Graham) who recall her passionate, ambitious, tenacious personality. Art critic Arthur Danto has written that her work is: "full of life, of eros, even of comedy...Each piece vibrates with originality and mischief." The documentary captures these qualities, but also the psychic struggles of an artist who, in the downtown New York art scene of the 1960s, was one of the few women to make work that was taken seriously in a field dominated by male pop artists and minimalists.
Art & Architecture on Screen
With unprecedented access to one of the most exclusive temples of performing arts in the world and its fascinating story, this new cinema experience transports you to where the most glorious pages in the history of music, opera and ballet have been written. Built between 1776 and 1778, the year of its inauguration, the teatro alla Scala in Milan has drawn major artists from the international music scene, turning immediately into the theatre of reference, the one every artist aspires to, the Mecca of music. to this day, performing at the Scala means consecrating a career in the eyes of the world.This film is a treasure trove of fascinating, timeless stories where rare archival footage intertwines with interviews with the major players on the international art and music scene, such as Daniel Barenboim, Roberto Bolle, Riccardo Chailly, Placido Domingo, Carla Fracci, Zubin Mehta, Jose Carreras and Riccardo Muti, to name but a few. Music critic John Gavazzeni wrote: 'The pillars of world Opera repertoire are Italian: Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini - composers whose works have been performed the most all over the world. The symbol of all great conductors is an Italian, Arturo Toscanini. They were all launched or consecrated in one place: at the Teatro alla Scala as well as the careers of great sopranos like Renata Tebaldi and Maria Callas, and of directors like Visconti, Zeffirelli and Strehler."
Exhibition on Screen
From the exhibition walls to the wonder and beauty of artists' gardens like Giverny and Seebüll, the film takes a magical and widely travelled journey to discover how different contemporaries of Monet built and cultivated modern gardens to explore expressive motifs, abstract color, decorative design and utopian ideas. Guided by passionate curators, artists and garden enthusiasts, this remarkable collection of Impressionists, Post-Impressionists, and avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century will reveal the rise of the modern garden in popular culture and the public's enduring fascination with gardens today. Long considered spaces for expressing color, light and atmosphere, the garden has occupied the creative minds of some of the worlds greatest artists. As Monet said, 'Apart from painting and gardening, I'm no good at anything'. For lovers of art or lovers of gardens, this is an ideal film.
Friends of the Tivoli Film Series
From one of the true masters of world cinema, Abbas Kiarostami's deceptive masterpiece is at times beautiful, enigmatic and funny. Set in a small mountainous village, the daily routine of its inhabitants is momentarily interrupted when a small group of outsiders on a mysterious mission arrive. As the story unfolds, we learn that the strangers are a television crew sent from Tehran to await the death of an old woman in order to cover the funeral practices of the village. Unfortunately, the village operates on its own schedule and the leader of the crew spends much of his time adjusting to it and becoming acquainted with the locals. Haunting and visually stunning, The Wind Will Carry Us is an absorbing abstract meditation on life and death and the divisions between tradition and modernity that stands among Kiarostami s best works.
Directed by internationally acclaimed director Hirozaku Kore-eda and adapted from Yoshida Akimi's best-selling graphic novel "Umimachi Diary". Three twenty-something sisters - Sachi, Yoshino and Chika - live together in a large old house in the seaside town of Kamakura. When they learn of their estranged father's death, they decide to travel to the countryside for his funeral. There they meet their shy teenage half-sister Suzu for the first time and, bonding quickly, invite her to live with them. Suzu eagerly agrees, and begins a new life with her older sisters. Kamakura's four seasons, the four sisters cause each other emotional anguish, and support each other through life's trials, developing a very special bond in the process. Set against the summer ocean sparkling with sunlight, radiant autumn foliage, a tunnel of gorgeous yet impermanent cherry blossom trees, hydrangeas damp from the rainy season, and brilliant fireworks heralding the arrival of another summer, their moving and deeply relatable story depicts the irreplaceable moments that form a true family.
When a member of a popular New York City improv troupe gets cast on a hit TV show, the rest of the group - all best friends - start to realize that not everyone is going to make it after all. From the director of Sleepwalk With Me and the creator of This American Life comes Don't Think Twice, a critically acclaimed comedy packed with comic stars Keegan-Michael Key, Gillian Jacobs, Mike Birbiglia, Kate Micucci, Chris Gethard and Tami Sagher that presents a hilarious and honest look at the lives of professional funny people.
Hieronymus Bosch:
In 2016, the Noordbrabants Museum in the Dutch city of Den Bosch held a special exhibition devoted to the work of Hieronymus Bosch, who died 500 years ago. This late-medieval artist lived his entire life in the city, causing uproar with his fantastical and utterly unique paintings in which hell and the devil always played a prominent role. In preparation for the exhibition, a team of Dutch art historians crisscrosses the globe to unravel the secrets of his art. They use special infrared cameras to examine the sketches beneath the paint, in the hope of discovering more about the artist's intentions. They also attempt to establish which of the paintings can be attributed with certainty to Bosch himself, and which to his pupils or followers. The experts shuttle between Den Bosch, Madrid and Venice, cutting their way through the art world's tangle of red tape, in a battle against the obstacle of countless egos and conflicting interests. Not every museum is prepared to allow access to their precious art works.
Alice (Rachel Weisz) is a woman with a past - multiple pasts. She's been a Portland hippie, an ER nurse, and a magician's assistant in China, changing names and identities at the drop of hat. But when she walks into a Brooklyn dinner party one night, she's recognized by Tom (Michael Shannon), who knows her not as Alice, but as Jenny, an ex-lover he hasn't seen in fifteen years. Drawn once again to the enigmatic, chameleon-like woman, Tom steals away with her into the New York City night where she introduces him to the thrills and dangers of reinventing oneself. Acclaimed filmmaker Joshua Marston (Maria Full of Grace) directs this smart, seductive investigation into the mystery of identity that explores what it means to leave everything behind and start your life over. With Kathy Bates and Danny Glover.

California Police Ransacked Public Apartments Without Warrants Under 'Neighborhood Blitz' Program
CREDIT: Associated Press/Damian Dovarganes
In an invasive, war-like operation known as the Neighborhood Blitz, police officers in Stockton, California illegally searched the apartments of poor minorities and physically disabled people, according to a class action lawsuit filed Wednesday. Under the guise of standard housing inspections, armed officers routinely burst into homes with little to no warning, ransacked the premises without warrants, demanded personal information from tenants that had nothing to do with their homes, and threatened renters with arrests and homelessness.
The nine plaintiffs — all of whom are African American, Hispanic, or disabled — allege the Stockton PD stormed into their Gateway Court apartments and subjected them to unconstitutional searches. Rather than giving tenants 21 days' notice, per Stockton's municipal code, police entered the units with less than 24 hours' notice and often walked in without the permission of the people living there. Lacking warrants, the cops examined mattresses, closets, drawers, and cupboards — throwing the contents on the floor. They also searched plaintiffs' medications and demanded to see personal documents, including bills and rental papers. Officers would come at any time of day or night — barging in when people were eating or sleeping — and several searches of pregnant women's apartments were conducted without taking the women's health into account.
If tenants tried to deny entry or failed to comply with officers' demands, the police threatened to arrest them, place them in homeless shelters, and shut down the apartments altogether. An armed officer was present during all of the searches.
Ultimately, no arrests were made. But the lawsuit follows a long line of complaints against the police department for its police brutality and racial profiling.
Although the Stockton Municipal Code requires inspections of every rental property in the city, the plaintiffs say they were discriminated against based on their race and low-income status. The city allows some property owners to "self-inspect" their rental units, meaning they are exempt from official sweeps. But the plaintiffs argue that low-income renters were not granted the exemption and specifically targeted by police whose Blitz program was created to monitor and fix "high crime areas." Instead of cracking down on the property's owners, who allowed the apartments to become dilapidated and infested with vermin, the police went after individual renters in an attempt to mitigate crime.
While this may be the most recent example, law enforcement sweeps of public housing is one of many police tactics that have contributed to mass incarceration. In the early 1990s, the Chicago Housing Authority illegally raided public housing units for drugs and weapons, until a federal court order halted the practice in 1994. To circumvent the court's decision, President Bill Clinton emboldened property owners to conduct aggressive, warrant-less searches for drugs and weapons nationwide, setting a precedent for similar apartment raids today. Clinton and former attorney general Janet Reno encouraged housing authorities to ask tenants to submit to voluntary inspections. But if a search was considered an emergency, those authorities could enter homes without official warrants.
At the time, housing advocates feared Clinton's announcement would undermine the rights of low-income communities of color by subjecting them to unconstitutional sweeps.
The Stockton plaintiffs are seeking $1 million in damages.

"--Kirkus Reviews" (starred review)
"A lively and entertaining panorama. . . . By the time he shows us the triumphant Exposition Universelle in 1889, witnessed through the eyes of such characters as painters John Singer Sargent and Robert Henri, we share McCullough's enthusiasm for the city and his affection for the many Americans who improved their lives, their talent and their nation by drinking at the fountain that was Paris."
--Michael Sims, "The Washington Post"
"An epic of ideas, as well as an exhilirating book of spells . . . This is history to be savored."
--Stacy Schiff, "The New York Times Book Review
"McCullough has hit the historical jackpot. . . . A colorful parade of educated, Victorian-era American travelers and their life-changing experiences in Paris."
"--Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
"For more than 40 years, David McCullough has brought the past to life in books distinguished by vigorous storytelling and vivid characterizations. . . . . McCullough again finds a slighted subject in "The Greater Journey", which chronicles the adventures of Americans in Paris. . . . Wonderfully atmospheric."
--Wendy Smith, "Los Angeles Times
"A highly readable and entertaining travelogue of a special sort, an interdisciplinary treat from a tremendously popular Pulitzer Prize-winning historian. . . . Highly recommended."
"--Library Journal" (starred review)
"There is not an uninteresting page here as one fascinating character after another is explored at a crucial stage of his development. . . . Wonderful, engaging writing full of delighting detail."
--John Barron, "Chicago Sun-Times
"McCullough's research is staggering to perceive, and the interpretation he lends to his material is impressive to behold. . . . Expect his latest book to ascend the best-seller lists and be given a place on the year-end best lists."
"--Booklist "(starred review)
"McCullough's skill as a storyteller is on full display. . . . The idea of telling the story of the French cultural contribution to America through the eyes of a generation of aspiring artists, writers and doctors is inspired. . . a compelling and largely untold story in American history."
--Kevin J. Hamilton, "The Seattle Times
"From a dazzling beginning that captures the thrill of arriving in Paris in 1830 to the dawn of the 20th century, McCullough chronicles the generations that came, saw and were conquered by Paris. . . . "The Greater Journey "will satisfy McCullough's legion of loyal fans . . . it will entice a whole new generation of Francophiles, armchair travelers and those Americans lucky enough to go to Paris before they die."

With this book, The Greater Journey, the author has now thoroughly engaged the reader with a topic seldom written about but very deserving of study. It is only natural that we as Americans feel we live in a self centered world; after all we have 2 vast oceans that have protected our shores from invasion for several centuries, and probably will for several more. It simply does not occur to us that since our beginnings, many Americans have chosen to spend considerable time abroad, and in some cases decades of their lives.
During the 1800's and specifically from 1830 until 1900, there was a wave of intellectual migration that headed not west to America, but east to Paris, France from America. Keep in mind that we now sit in a country that is preeminent in the world, financially, intellectually, and probably culturally as well. Back then, we were just forming as a nation. The Indian wars were still in process, and the Civil War would also take place, which became the second re-creation of the United States. McCullough is totally aware of this comparison and makes wise use of it throughout this 456 page book composed of 14 distinct chapters separated into 3 parts, followed by a wonderful epilogue, and a very useful bibliography. The author understands history, and is always mindful of the relative positions of different nations.Read more ›
As much as I enjoyed the books John Adams and 1776, there is something refreshing in seeing living treasure David McCullough depart from the 1700s, an era he knows vividly, and take a tromp through fresh ground. The Greater Journey was so good, so flowing and fast-paced I read through it a little too quickly, in one day to be exact, and emerged with the feeling that I cheated myself of what more properly should have been a lingering experience. Therefore, I plan to read it again in smaller bits in the near future!
That aside, this was among the more interesting history books I've opened in a long while. McCullough's style has never seemed sharper, more conversational, more authoritative or more learned. Where else is the City of Lights examined in such minute detail and from quite this angle? The museums, the streets, the gardens, the parties and salons, and most of all the people, natives and American alike are examined under the microscopic gaze of this finest of living historians. What emerges is an explanation of why Paris was so alluring then as today, and how their time spent there, often brief visits, shaped some of America's leading personages into the figures they went on to be in life. So many famous names leap out from these pages that it proves a who's who of a time and place. The life stories here are as good as biographies anywhere, and there's something to be learned on just about every page as McCullough makes time for many asides and anecdotes about those who passed through the French capital before and during la Belle Époque
To read this book is to feel a part of Paris 150 years ago, and that is the highest praise I think it is possible to give any historian! Well done, David McCullough, well done!
When I first heard that McCullough was penning a new work focusing on the impact that Parisian life had on Americans of the 19th century, I was quite excited to say the least. And when I was offered the chance to do a pre-release review of "The Greater Journey," I was thrilled and jumped at the opportunity. McCullough did not disappoint.
"The Greater Journey" varies in focus from his other works. While the majority of his previous books have focused on political and engineering aspects of American history, "The Greater Journey" instead highlights many of the artistic influences of American history (Adams, Jefferson and Franklin get barely a mention). Although working with a large cast of characters such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mary Cassatt, Louis Moreau Gottschalk and Harriet Beecher Stowe, McCullough spotlights a few in more detail. Although Samuel F. B. Morse is more widely known for inventing the telegraph, McCullough spends more time discussing Morse's artistic work in the Louvre. Augustus Saint-Gaudens, sculptor of such memorials as the Farragut, Sherman and Robert Gould Shaw Memorials, was greatly influenced by his time in Paris. Of particular interest to me was the account of Elihu Washburne's efforts during the Franco-Prussian War to protect French, American and German citizens.Read more ›
