No Friends? Blame Traffic
New research shows that friendships on busy streets are cut by more than 75 percent.
People living on streets with heavy motor vehicle traffic are experiencing a considerable deterioration of their local social lives according to Joshua Hart, a researcher from the University of the West of England. Results suggest that residents on busy streets have less than one quarter the number of local friends compared to those living on similar streets with little traffic.
The study looked at three streets in north Bristol with light, medium and heavy traffic respectively. It found that motor traffic, which has grown more than tenfold in the UK since 19501, has a considerable negative impact on quality of life, particularly for residents living beside heavy motor traffic flows. "Traffic is like a mountain range, cutting you off" said one man on the heavy traffic street, Muller Road, where over 20,000 cars drive by his house every day.
Interviews with residents indicate that growing motor traffic has forced people to make major adjustments in their lives, to shield against the nearly constant noise, pollution, dust and danger outside their front doors. Many residents revealed that they experience sleep disturbances, no longer spend time in the front of their homes, and curtail the independence of their children in response to motor traffic. "Our 4-year-old girl has a constant cough and we limit the amount of time she spends outside…we're constantly breathing in pollution," said one father.
This research, carried out as part of a Transport Planning MSc, confirms for the first time in the UK the results of a 1969 San Francisco study by Professor Donald Appleyard2, who also found deterioration of community on busy streets.

Has anybody got a lot of info on what a given type of weed can tell you about your soil? For example, I have one raised bed with a thick patch of Canada Thistle that butts up against a thick patch of Yellow Nutsedge. What conclusions (if any) can I draw from this, other than the possibility that thistle-loving birds crapped in one area and nutsedge lovers crapped in the other?
Weeds as indicators of soil conditions
Different plants grow in different soil conditions. When my hard drive crashed I lost a lot of sites and one of them was all about weed indicators. :( Canada Thistle will grow just about anywhere there is disturbed soil.
Johnston grass will grow in any soil good or bad. lol
Pirate, as you worked that bed, you probably would assume that all the soil should be pretty much the same. I don't think there could be so much difference that would cause the two plants. I think it started with two different birds crapping once each, and just went from there.
I have read that lambsquarter will indicate low N ( I think) by showing some coloring in the leaves or stem tips.
I read an article once from a person who cured a big patch of Canada thistle , leading the writer to coclude that improving the soil with organics matter made it less hospitable to the thisltle there

Why didn't Nabokov do it himself then? Perhaps it is more complicated than this.
It's a trap!
I figure, if he has an issue with them not following his objectives, then he can sue them.
I mean seriously, the man is DEAD. If he wanted it destroyed he could have done so himself. He didn't, so the matter no longer concerns him.
Dmitri Nabokov isn't an idiot so much as he's the offspring of one of the 20th Century's most notable literary figures, who recognizes that an unpublished manuscript has some value; if not as a work of literature in-and-of itself, than at least as a possible source of income to him and his family.
Vladimir may have thought it a piece of drek, but a lot of people would still probably buy it anyway.
The lesson here is this... If you want something done after you die that badly then you'd better do it before you die.
Really, making someone else do it is just plain lazy, that's what that is.

Please ignore post #5 and go straight to #6.
Maybe this is undiluted cynicism, but if I were a Great Writer Of My Time who was looking to be a Great Writer Of All Time, this would be a fantastic way to inspire cult interest after my death, thus ensuring that discussion of my work continued after I was gone. "What's in the final manuscript? Why did he want it destroyed? Should it be destroyed? Let's speculate what's in it! Let's publish twenty copies and sell them for a million dollars! Let's publish twenty million copies and sell them for seven dollars! Let's never let this issue die!"
Good that Emily Dickinson's heirs did the same thing with her papers too, right?
Oh, wait...
@4: I highly doubt that Dmitri Nabokov is influenced by money in this decision: he's 73, is sure to have plenty of money, and has no heirs. I think it's a combination of enjoying the attention and honestly feeling torn about what to do.
This reminds me of the Kate Chopin story, "Her Letters." A wife has old letters from a lover that she can't bear to destroy herself, because they give her comfort. After his wife's death, her husband finds the bundle of letters, with a note attached saying that she trusts him to destroy them for her, unread. He follows her wishes, but wondering what was in them eventually destroys him.
The idiot here seems to be Vladimir.
Re Chopin's letters: I'll take the sans-serif ones - you take the ones with Polish diacritical marks.
Destroy the only copy of a work by one of the most famous authors of the last century? What a despicable idea. Had Vlad destroyed it himself when alive, I still would be appalled.
oh the tortured artist boo-hoo. who's the worst judge of artwork? the artist.
release the fucking manuscript - how bad could it be? and if it is truly terrible, it will barely dent nabokov's reputation. does "ebony & ivory" diminish the accomplishment of "helter skelter"? ok, bad example...
kevin shields, take note.
Yeah. And Franz Kafka, too. He wanted everything burned after he died. In his case, though, I suspect he was, in some way, proving his thoughts on human nature, knowing they probably wouldn't be.
Nabokov was pretty famous for only wanting his final, perfect manuscripts to be published, if I recall. So, that would lead me to think don't publish it...
But, my opinion would also be influenced by why he didn't do it himself. If it was a work in progress and he physically wasn't able to destroy it before he died, that would suggest destroying it, but, if he had a chance to do so and didn't... maybe he didn't really want it done. Also, I wonder if it was a blanket instruction (i.e., destroy all unfinished works) or specific to this work.
My husband is an author and he has said that he wants his unpublished work destroyed if he dies... but, I'm not sure if he's really thought about it or just says it because it seems like a writerly thing to say. I can see how this would be a really difficult thing for the son to decide.
Indeed, it is only because Kafka's friend Max Brom couldn't bring himself to destroy the books that we have many of Kafka's works today.
It's undoubtedly a tough decision, but I think it is possible to feel more of a duty to society in general than to a deceased friend or relative.
So I'm writing a book, it's not done, it doesn't meet my own standards yet, I don't want it read until it does, I don't expect to die but I don't want anyone to read my imperfect incomplete work so I tell my heirs that if I don't publish it they can't and I die and they decide screw me I'm dead publish it. Wrong.
If you rearrange the letters in the actual statement Nabokov made, can you make a sentence that says, "You better not destroy this manuscript, you mindless twits"?
Oh, man, I knew that people were going to bring up Dickinson and Kafka. The difference is that Nabokov was a celebrated author who is known as a perfectionist.
The thing about really good novelists is that they're good not just because of what they put in their novels. What they leave out is just as important as what actually gets printed on the page.
For people to believe that they're somehow owed a new Nabokov novel, or that they're going to gain some sort of insight into how he works by studying a misfire of his, is ridiculous.
I can't think of a single posthumously-released novel by an established author that was worth a damn, and I guarantee that, as much as I love Nabokov, this novel will be utter shit. It's best to let it be.
@20. I rather liked C.S. Lewis's The Dark Tower, and that was post-humously released, unfinished. I think it was going to be a novella, though, not a novel.
That being said, destroying it is probably the thing to do, unless there's some other circumstances that we aren't aware of.
Call me a sucker for preserving stuff even against explicit orders--like the Eiffel Tower in 1944, tapes of waterboarding, and the White House/DOJ emails. OK, I guess I'm an idiot, just like Dmitri. Must be that damn class I took in thermodynamics.
Wikipedia says "...roughly half finished ..." "...about fifty hand-written index cards, equivalent to about thirty conventional paper manuscript pages." I'm not sure how 30 pages is a "half finished" novel, but undoubtedly it would lack the subtlety and nuance of, for example,
"Here is Virgil who could the nymphet sing in single tone, but probably preferred a lad's perineum" [Lolita; Vladimir Nabokov]I mean just how much of that can you get on fifty index cards? It would probably be best to not publish it, but destroying it may be a bit much, since as others have said, he didn't bother to destroy it himself, perhaps the restricted collection of some university library would be a good place for it.
I know Dmitri and you sir are no Dimtri -- but, from all I read above, I must conclude you are an idiot!

Last week in Bristol, Tenn., the NHRA POWERade Series made the ground shake in Thunder Valley, beneath the broad-shouldered hills surrounding Bristol Dragway. This weekend, the drag racing will move 5,000 feet higher into the atmosphere and onto the storied quarter-mile of Bandimere Speedway, carved into the bedrock of Thunder Mountain outside Denver for the 28th Mopar Mile-High Nationals.
This will be the fourth of a marathon six races in six weeks while at the same time touching off the 2007 Western Swing -- the annual western march from Denver to Seattle to Sonoma, Calif., in consecutive weeks. Also thrown into this challenging stretch is the fact that only five more national events remain in the first qualifying stint for the new Countdown to the Championship.
With so much energy intensifying this year's Western Swing opener, the action on Thunder Mountain this time around will be driven by an extra shot of adrenaline in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle.
Here's a preview:
Top Fuel
It could be safely stated that Brandon Bernstein's 2007 has been a series of fits and starts. The current No. 2 driver in the POWERade standings has been either unbeatable or thoroughly stoppable throughout the previous 12 events, but last week's victory in Bristol -- his fourth of the year -- couldn't have come at a better time.
Not primarily because of the need to overtake Hot Rod Fuller for the points lead, but rather to have a consistent combination in place as the Countdown to Four looms ahead. Racers who are in an even more critical position when it comes to racking up round wins include Melanie Troxel, Cory McClenathan and Whit Bazemore, who are hovering at or around the No. 8 spot.
Keep in mind the unique nature of Bandimere Speedway on the outskirts of the Rocky Mountains and its flimsy oxygen content. Fuel tuners will be hauling out every trick at their disposal to help restore the lost horsepower suffered by engines operating at 5,000-plus feet above sea level. Denver typically is a showcase of surprises, and predicting this weekend's outcome will be tough.
Funny Car
John Force's win last week in Bristol emphasized the close scramble for Countdown spots among drivers both above and below the No. 8 spot. Force is only 63 points from the 8-hole, despite the fact he's 13th in the standings -- tied with Jeff Arend. Look at the points differences among the top 15 in the Funny Car points and the picture becomes more dramatic. There simply isn't a lock to be found anywhere except at the very top of the standings heading into this weekend's race at a track that has been known to throw curve after curve at every crew chief.
Gary Scelzi returns as the defending event champion but his 2007 has been anything but a career year. Points leader Ron Capps and his closest pursuer, Robert Hight, have been quiet of late, while Ashley Force must now regroup after last week's DNQ and edge her way back into the elite eight. It's Jack Beckman who now defends that No. 8 spot and there's a swarm of opponents who will be out to take that spot away from him in Denver.
Pro Stock
The Swing has traditionally been a mixed bag for this category. Only the heroics of Greg Anderson in 2004 with his Western "Sweep" broke from the usual pattern of various drivers sharing the spotlight at the three consecutive races. The first stop in Denver will, as usual, be the biggest performance hurdle of the three since the rarefied air at Bandimere saps the 500-cubic-inch carbureted engines of precious horsepower.
If the first stage of the Countdown were to end today, such Pro Stock regulars as Warren Johnson, Greg Stanfield, Richie Stevens and Jim Yates would be out of the running. However, should any of those racers pull together a successful run on the mountain this weekend, the current closeness of the points standings practically guarantees they would improve their ranking considerably.
Dave Connolly was last year's Denver winner and his Victor Cagnazzi-owned team has shown that it knows how to win this season as well. Connolly and teammate Jeg Coughlin Jr. have now combined for six straight final-round appearances, and although Team Summit, with three-time POWERade champion Greg Anderson and his wingman, reigning champion Jason Line, is still on top of its game, the Countdown format this season appears to favor a Ken Black Racing/Cagnazzi Racing showdown.
Watch for a graphic example of that this weekend.
Pro Stock Motorcycle
The "Hogs" love the "Hill."
The big-displacement Harley-Davidson and Buell V-Twin engines have won the last three races at Bandimere. The deep-breathing domestic engines have consistently taken to the mile-high conditions with less of a power drop than the high-winding Suzukis.
After a slow start to '07, three-time PSM champion and defending Denver winner Andrew Hines is the hottest item in the category with two wins out of the last three races wrapped around a runner-up finish in Englishtown, N.J. He'll be riding a crest of momentum this weekend and will be looking to snuggle up a little closer to the two riders ahead of him in the standings: Angelle Sampey and points leader Matt Smith. Half a dozen spots below him, you'll see a serious dogfight for the Countdown brackets still in question between Steve Johnson, Peggy Llewellyn and Antron Brown.

Performance: After the Dance (1992)
Fine, very moving, quite witty
I've seen this three times now - as a DVD included among the Rattigan box set. I'd read a collection of Rattigan's plays - but this wasn't among them. As the director of the recent Olivier award winning National Theater production of "After the Dance" has stated, the failure of the play to run a long time in 1939 caused Rattigan to exclude it from his "Best Plays" collections. The play had received great acclaim by critics when it opened - and was doing fine business for two months - but then the War began - and the emotional ends of theater-going changed rather dramatically. The play closed soon afterward.
It's a superb play. I'm delighted that it's been revived to such a heralded response in London. It conveys a specific set of people - London based, upper class, only just too young for the First World War -who partied through the 1920s and the 1930s - ostensibly occupied with something, but not with true dedication. Eccentricity, a studied nonchalance, an affected boredom with the serious are the style of conversation - and gossip the substance. They now face a Second World War, a new generation - and themselves. There is considerable self-blame for their indulgence, wistfulness over age, self-questioning whether they can revivify, and wonder whether their characters are sufficiently supple or strong to start anew - as a new generation grinds alongside.
The play is quite realistic - and sad - and funny. The performances here are fine - you may, as I, wish to see it time and again. It's that fine a play.
The Boys Are Back (2009)
How not to raise children
This is one of the poorest movies I've seen - I'd no idea what it was about, but generally liked Clive Owen, so thought I'd rent it. It's the only film I can remember in which I actually yelled two or three times at the TV screen "End. END!" Owen plays the most Uriah Heepish parent I've ever seen. Extraordinarily passive - yet deceitful in many ways (Not least, as a top newspaper's sports editor who lies to all at work, and to the nation about covering the biggest international sporting event held in Australia each year - one can only hope he was fired, though there's an odd failure to mention the consequence).
I've never seen a parent apologize each time his child deserves punishment. Child throwing things? Apologize. Child hits him repeatedly in the head? Apologize. Child refuses to get in the car to go somewhere? Apologize. Child won't get up from having a tantrum on the floor in public? Apologize. Child wants to throw things in the house? Apologize. Child cries because he wants to swim instead of be in school? Apologize.
Say that you're deeply deeply sorry for every breath you take, every move you make - you get the idea.
This is a creepy movie - the parent abandoned his vows to God, his son and his spouse to be true until death - and is somehow not made to feel the terrible consequences of his abject despicable treatment of his spouse. Why did he leave her? "I got (this sexy babe) pregnant".
I constantly wished the worst for the protagonist - which I don't think the film intends.
I loathe this movie.
Il y a longtemps que je t'aime (2008)
A wonderful surprise - clear, poetic, moving, quite lovely
I've seen so many French films in the last 15 years in which the female protagonist is as hard as nails, rebellious but impenetrable, scornful of intimate society or society at large - and we're meant to like her. I feared the same from the simple description I had of this film. (And after all, Scott-Thomas does not, after all, seem to seek out cuddly characters).
But her character is played perfectly - and that woman is one you come to quite like - sympathetic and understandable and human. (The actress playing her sister is also perfectly chosen- as sweet and winning as you could possibly find).
For all the darkness off-screen before the film begins, this is really a happy and heart-warming film - stay with it, it gets better and better. I particularly love the happiness the director makes us feel in social groupings - the celebration of someone's birthday, friends just dropping in, a dinner party.
**** SPOILERS### My one misgving with the film is that I do NOT share the director's apparent sympathy with euthanasia - no illness ever justifies taking another's life. Were I the judge sentencing her, and knowing all the facts, I'd have sentenced her to at least 15 years, and thought myself being very just. So her failure to defend herself in prison does not seem to me to have influenced her just sentence - though is strongly sense the movie means one to think otherwise - to feel that slaying a terribly ill child is somehow OK.
*** SPOILERS END **** I'd strongly recommend the film.
Trapeze (1956)
To my surprise, a great subtle and rather sad movie
This movie by Carol Reed (director of such great movies as The Third Man, Odd Man Out, The Key, and The Fallen Idol, who finally won the Oscar for Best Director for his musical, "Oliver!"(a musical adaptation of Oliver Twist) is simply superb.
Although this shares the circus setting as some others of the time, it's not primarily "about" the circus. It's a profound look at age, comeback, love (whether wanted or not), ambition. It's set in a dark and almost tawdry Paris of the mid-1950s, one that seems still tired and rather poor a dozen years after liberation.
The whole setting - and the love triangle - are fabulous yet realistic. This is a great bookend for An American in Paris - two entirely different images of Paris and France at the time.
The Burt Lancaster characterization is simply great - understated, powerful, moving - a man looking for a comeback, a last chance. Tony Curtis is also fine (I think Curtis has long been terribly underrated - he's a very good actor, wonderful in all kinds of parts from The Boston Strangler to Boeing, Boeing, from Sweet Smell of Success (with Lancaster again) to Some Like it Hot). Lollobrigida is great - a fine actress, yes unbelievably sexy but also just excellent at making us feel what her (desperate and cunning) character feels.
This is a great movie - amazingly set with a circus backdrop. I loved it. It's as good a depiction of post-war western Europe as can be imagined - in music, in light/shadow, in the fatigue you feel throughout. Watch it! You won't be disappointed.
The Lady and the Highwayman (1989)
Good pure old-fashioned romance
If you like your romance VERY traditional with damsels in distress, evil nobles, dashing villains who are REALLY ... Men, beware! This is the world of Barbara Cartland.
Nevertheless, I must admit that it held my interest throughout - and I was VERY struck by: the beauty of the sets/castles/scenery/furniture - they were spectacular.
and struck by the fine acting by such great stars. What a cast!!!
John Mills (the great one)
Oliver Reed (nominated for an Oscar in his last role - in The Gladiator, as the trainer of gladiators)
Michael York (Reed and York were two of the fine Three Musketeers the previous decade),
Emma Samms (star of all those Dynasty series)
Christopher Cazenove (many movies including the villain of 3 Men and a Baby, etc.),
Claire Bloom (the greatness of Claire Bloom since the 1950s -- starring in a Barbara Cartland!! Amazing!),
and starring
Hugh Grant and Lysette Anthony.
I know Anthony from a great Woody Allen movie and from a superb Inspector Poirot TV movie - she's so different in each that she doesn't even seem the same actress -very pretty, very fine actress).
Hugh Grant - charming, self-deprecatory, bookish, Hugh Grant, the kind of man made to play in Born Yesterday as the professor - is wildly miscast. The rough highwayman contemptuous of authority, rather a tough Robin Hood character is meant to be a type like Colin Farrell or young Oliver Reed -- alternatively an Errol Flynn or Douglas Fairbanks would be fine. But Grant really did his best - generally remaining silent.
The plot is what surprised me - what a good pot - straightforward, enough intrigue, good pace.
This is a well put together movie - IF you want to see a true prototype of the romance circa 17th century. I'd recommend it to anyone in that mood.
Wings of the Morning (1937)
A VERY appealing jumble of a movie
This movie sets out to have much for many - and succeeds in a wacky, just relax and enjoy the utterly mixed bag way:
the first Technicolor movie made in Britain (well, Ireland actually) a tale of gypsies and their generations-long curses all the sentiment and memories of the Auld Sod in Ireland three songs sung complete by John McCormack, the great Irish tenor horse racing tale - mixing in news footage of Derby Day in England love story between Henry Fonda and beautiful French sensation Annabella
There are odd moments - e.g., Henry Fonda forcefully removing all Annabella's clothes (behind a willow tree) until apparently repulsed, he realizes she's a girl and tosses her undergarments back to her - disgusted
Strange scenes of "is she alive or is she dead" about an ancient gypsy woman.
We're asked to accept that a living woman may easily life to see a fourth generation of her family -- in 50 years. In this movie, they apparently have an entirely new generation of gypsy children every sixteen years! (In contrast, I hope to marry next year and have children in future - yet my own grandparents were born in the 1890s, 110-120 years ago - without a fourth generation yet!).
It's fun - and light, and romantic (annabella is really cute!) and it IS interesting to see John McCormack and the spectacular/sentimental scenes of Killarney - and to see a horse race at Ascot.
Don't expect a classic - but it's a big fun jumble of stuff designed to appeal to many. Often a quite beautiful movie visually too.
The Starter Wife (2007)
Funny very modern comedy about life in L.A. among the "in crowd"
I've only seen two episodes - and hadn't seen any that aired last summer - but this is really a charming, funny series. Messing and Davis are the reasons to watch - and they really get to show a stunning variety of emotions. The plot is clear, fast-moving, and great fun. I've mixed feelings about the use of the dream sequences to indicate how she feels at particular moments - but I'm sure there are many who love them.
This is really a fine series - it seems the female counterpart to the male-oriented Californication - the quality is similar - and they're very much the same kind of series - very modern, witty, well-designed continuing comedy (each program's dilemmas, new characters, very much lead into the next). They're both programs about very superficial, selfish and materialistic people, set in contemporary Los Angeles obsessed with fame and fleeting success.
I'm a conservative Catholic man living in the East, clearly not the intended audience for the series - but I enjoy it. And I'm surprised there aren't more comments. (The series was heavily promoted in New York City -- and Messing and Davis are both famously talented).
It's hard to imagine that people who decide to tune in - won't be caught up in it.
Stealing Home (1988)
Really fine - very moving,
This is a fictional character study, nostalgia piece, and inspirational story. The reason it works is not so much the novelty of the plot or situations, but the actors and the physical settings.
Rarely has a film been cast so very well.
Mark Harmon, fine actor and former star USC quarterback plays a baseball player.
One of America's very best actresses, Jodie Foster plays his older friend.
Another of the top American actresses, Blair Brown plays his mother (when he was small).
The very appealing John A. Shea (think of his portrayal of Robert F. Kennedy or his co-star part on the Spuerman series) is his father.
The really lovely, Southern seductress Beth Broderick (former co-star of Sabrina and so often well-cast as the beauty on series such as From the earth to the Moon) is perfectly cast - as is Jonathan Silverman in a Summer of '42 part.
Harmon and Foster are opposites in so many ways - in life as well as their characters - yet they're both so unselfish, so singular as personalities - Mark Hamill was born to play the taciturn disciplinarian General Black Jack Pershing leader of America's military in our first World War, and Jodie Foster was born to play a very pretty poetry editor of a literary quarterly in the Village in the 1950s - and I don't think they share a scene together here (he plays the boy as a 38 year old - and we don't see her after she's in her mid-20s) yet we feel them together throughout the film - they dominate the film.
Such is the appeal of Harmon that we can see his character wholly irresponsible and really wanting to dump the business of his boyhood mentor's urn of ashes upon his mother - and yet like him very much.
Such is the appeal of Foster that we can hear her utter every silly clichéd sentiment of a girl of that age and that time - and yet think she's really worth caring for - we can fall in love with this young woman whom we might really think an idiot in real life.
But Foster is so obviosly NOT an idiot, that she lends intelligence to a cliché - and Harmon is so obviously a responsible sober responsible man that he lends this to his often drunken, prostitute-visiting character.
They lift this movie to something special and really worth watching.
I'd love to see Harmon and Foster share the same movie again. They're so different, both highly appealing, both very distinctive.
You'll like this movie.
Fauteuils d'orchestre (2006)
Inoffensive, uninteresting, well-acted
What is marketed in the U.S. as "Avenue Montaigne", is a gentle, and entirely unoriginal, story of several people in the same film only because they go to the same restaurant and become acquainted with the same waitress.
Is this as original or interesting as the normal Friends episode? No, but the characters are friendly, dealing with difficulties in their lives, and all have rather happy endings - so one is meant not to begrudge the film. But in truth it's not very good.
Two characters stand out: the grandmother played by Suzanne Flon (whose name you will probably recognize) who died just after making the film, and the woman playing an actress who must display a great variety of moods, styles as we see her as a character in a staged Feydeau farce (and in rehearsals for that farce), as "herself" in the midst of "real life" career desperation, and again playing a different character in her popular television soap opera. Her range is impressive.
The waitress tying the characters together is pleasant, has a pleasing figure - but in this role is rather forgettable. (Oh, there's also rather a surprise to see
her character leap into bed with someone she's just met - the American audience is likely to be amazed since she's presented as this sweet character from the provinces - yet as she kisses this man, a man she just met, she simply begins removing her clothes for sex! Your mouth will drop open!).
**** Spoilers END ****
The film won't irritate - but it's unlikely to entertain either. See something else.
The Very Thought of You (1944)
What a surprise - a great movie
I had very low expectations when I saw this yesterday. "Nothing else on" television was the excuse I made myself for watching it. I had no particular interest in the leads (though Eleanor Parker was good as the baroness in Sound of Music, I didn't really know her otherwise) and Morgan had generally left me flat (though I did like him in Christmas in Connecticut).
And then I saw this quite realistic dialog about picking up two girls on a bus - and following them - and their reactions! And then a very strange bickering family - unlike any I expected to see in a World War II film - where families are almost always peaches and cream.
And I thought, "well, this movie is different!"
It got better and better and better - primarily because you really are brought to believe that despite despite overwhelming odds, these two - Parker and Morgan - really do fall in love.
They're very modest, they've such limited hopes, and those hopes are so fragile - that you root for these two very gentle modest people so intently - as almost everyone they know - as well as all the worldwide events, conspire against them.
It's a very simple movie plot that is told with such verve, such overwhelming conviction by the participants fully invested in the wonder of the tale, that you are simply swept away. With low expectations, I just love it - and looked to buy it when I next came to the computer.
There are few movies that seem to bring people from another decade right into your home - real people with besetting problems and far from ideal surroundings - and whom you want to succeed so very badly.
Thanks to all who participated in this movie! You won no awards but you certainly won my heart!

What is Wedding Dress Hire?
Hiring a wedding dress, instead of buying a dress for a wedding day, is now becoming a popular alternative for brides. Many wedding shops and wedding boutiques offer wedding dress hire; not only is the wedding dress itself for hire but many wedding shops will offer brides an inclusive package which will include the hire of wedding veils, wedding shoes and, in some instances, wedding jewellery.
The Advantages of Wedding Dress Hire
Brides often worry about finding a
wedding dress
in the right size, style and quality; however, wedding dress hire shops offer the same excellent service as wedding dress sales shops. The decision to hire a wedding dress is a popular choice for many reasons:
- hiring a wedding dress is very cost-effective. All brides have a dream wedding dress in mind but the cost of buying a dress which will be worn once is not only not very practical, it may also be beyond some wedding budgets. Choosing to hire a bridal gown allows a bride to have her dream wedding dress for the day - and creates her special once-in-a-lifetime experience!
- after the wedding day, and the honeymoon, most brides have to clean, pack and store their wedding dresses; with bridal gown hire, the wedding dress simply has to be returned to the wedding shop, which will take care of the rest!
Second Marriages
- for those brides marrying for a second time, hiring a wedding dress is an alternative, but practical, choice.
Marriages Away from Home
- many brides may have moved away from their home town but wish to return to be married amongst family and old friends; wedding dresses can be hired in the bride's home town, eliminating any worry about packing and carrying a wedding dress on a plane, train or in a car.
Extra Money for the Honeymoon
- if less money is spent by hiring a wedding dress, instead of buying a bridal gown, there will be more money for an extra-special honeymoon...
And finally, hiring a bridal gown will bring a unique perspective on a popular British wedding tradition of bringing good luck to the bride
'Something Old, Something New, Something
, Something Blue...'
If you want to save money on your
wedding shoes
too there are plenty of online stores that offer some stunning bridal shoes at amazing discounts!

wedding rings
crafted from a single nugget of Clogau gold extracted from the Clogau St. Davids Gold Mine for over 150 years.

Hi, my name is Alex I'm 16 and I started shooting about two years ago for fun mostly. I've grown to like this art and see it as perspective changing and I'm here mostly to look for advice and showcase the photos I take with my mobile phone camera. I never considered the lack of equipment an excuse for the lack of other let's say... qualities, at least not in my case so another reason why I'm here is the need for some direction, so I know if I'm worthy of getting a DSLR and getting serious about this. So please, if you have anything to say about my pictures do not hesitate. :)
tl;dr I love shooting. It makes me happy. I am open to your opinions regarding my work.

By Vicki Needham - 07/03/14 06:18 PM EDT
The strong June jobs report released Thursday is giving Democrats a needed boost of confidence ahead of the midterm elections.
Accustomed to the president and his party being blamed for a sluggish economy, Democrats found themselves in an unfamiliar offensive spot with the news that employers added 288,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell near a six-year low last month.
"It's really important for us to understand that we could be making even stronger progress, we could be growing even more jobs, we could be creating even more business opportunities for smart, talented folks … if those of us here in Washington were focused on them, focused on you, the American people, rather than focused on politics," he said Thursday.
It was a welcome message shift for Obama, who has never scored well on his handling of the stagnant economy he inherited. A June NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed 54 percent of respondents disapproved of the job he was doing in handling the economy, with just 41 percent approving.
In his daily briefing, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest called the good economic news "an indication that these crises aren't created overnight, and they're not solved overnight, and that there needs to be a long-term, coordinated strategy to strengthen our economy."
While press releases poured in from House and Senate Democratic leaders, Republicans were uncharacteristically quiet on one of their chief talking points. Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerDem drops out of race for Boehner's old seat Conservative allies on opposite sides in GOP primary fight Clinton maps out first 100 days MORE (Ohio) was the lone GOP leader who released comment.
While Congress is out of session this week for the July 4th holiday recess, neither outgoing Majority Leader Eric CantorEric CantorThree strategies to help Clinton build 'Team of Teams' David Brat may run for Senate if Kaine becomes VP The Hill's 12:30 Report MORE (R-Va.) nor Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the Majority Leader-elect, sent out their usual statements on the monthly report.
There was similar silence on the Senate side too, with only Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidDemocratic convention more about Fantasyland than America Unions want one thing from Hillary tonight: A stake in TPP's heart Dems urge Grayson to end Senate bid MORE (Nev.) chiming in on the positive report.
The House and Senate heads of the Joint Economic Committee — Sen. Amy KlobucharAmy KlobucharTim Kaine backs call to boost funding for Israeli missile defense Senate Dems push Obama for more Iran transparency Senators launch broadband caucus MORE (D-Minn.) and Rep. Kevin BradyKevin BradyFroman: Too early to start trade talks with the UK Advisers: Trump's revised tax plan will resemble Ryan's Overnight Healthcare: Health mergers in trouble? | Norovirus in Cleveland | GOP chairman rejects Trump Medicare pricing plan MORE (R-Texas) — each sent out statements.
In a possible accidental reflection of Democrats' enthusiasm, Klobuchar's release was sent out five times.
The positive report, which was the fifth straight month of jobs growth over 200,000 since the late 1990s, put the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee into a war of words over who was responsible for the best and worst state-based jobs numbers.
The DNC argued that the employment surge reflects the positive effects of Obama's economic policies, but pointed out that states with Republicans governors, such as New Jersey, Florida and Wisconsin, are still lagging behind.
"So while the GOP continues to bill their governors as the future leaders of their party, their poor economic records tell a very different story," the DNC said in a statement.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus fired back, citing a recent report that "found that the top five states for business are all run by Republican governors."
"We need a Republican majority in the Senate so we can get job-creating legislation to the president's desk and job-killing policies like ObamaCare out of the way of American workers," Priebus said in a statement.
Reid and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) pointed to missed legislative opportunities to even further grow the economy they blamed on Republicans bowing to Tea Party pressure.
"House Republicans' relentless obstruction and dysfunction are holding back our growth and threatening hundreds of thousands of American jobs," Pelosi said.
"Our economy cannot afford more of Republicans' contempt for working families, or their disinterest in creating jobs," she continued, pointing to GOP refusals to raise the minimum wage, renew emergency unemployment insurance and reauthorize the Export-Import Bank.
House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) said the uptick proves that the economic recovery continues moving forward because of Democratic policies implemented during the recession.
"With 262,000 private sector jobs created in June, bringing our unemployment rate down to 6.1%, we can be proud of the work we have done so far to bring our economy back," he said.
But BoehnerJohn BoehnerDem drops out of race for Boehner's old seat Conservative allies on opposite sides in GOP primary fight Clinton maps out first 100 days MORE argued again that the House has passed dozens of jobs bills and "in order for us to make real progress, the president must do more than criticize."
"From trade to workplace flexibility, there's no shortage of common ground where he can push his party's leaders in the Senate to work with us. Until he provides that leadership, he is simply part of the problem."
Rep. Xavier BecerraXavier BecerraThe Hill's 12:30 Report The Hill's 12:30 Report Hispanic Democrats: Kaine 'true friend' of Latinos MORE (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, argued that more could be done "if we could simply get past the shut-down, do-nothing politics waged in Congress."
"It's time for Republicans in Congress to stop playing politics at the expense of American working families and join President Obama's jobs agenda to build an economy that works for all Americans, not just the wealthiest few."
The economy added 1.4 million jobs in the first half of this year, the most in any first half since 1999.
In addition, the economy has added nearly 2.5 million job in the past 12 months, the fastest yearly pace since May 2006.
Also, last month was the first time since September 1999 through January 2000 the economy has seen total job growth above 200,000 for five straight months.

Last night sucked…I'm sure I am not the only person who suffered from the issue of wanting Castlevania and Enslaved while only being able to afford one, but my solution to the dilemma was one I hope to soon forget.
So the plan was to buy Enslaved at Best Buy, using the $20gift card I got after purchasing Halo Reach, then purchase Castlevania at full price, and the hope was to spend not much more than $100. I was on target until I stumbled across the limited edition of Castlevania, which includes and art book, and soundtrack- $80. I…love art books. I like them better when they're combined with a strategy guide, and have been collecting them since Onimusha3. So now I was looking at a total of $120 and change. The mrs wasn't happy when the total was $100; there was no way I was gonna admit the price had gone up (thankfully we've never had the conversation where I admit that limited editions cost more money).
I turned to a solution I had cast away about 5 years ago…trading in games at Gamestop. I crept out of the house around 8pm and drove to the closest one with a total of 5 games in my jacket pockets; Bayonetta, Burnout Paradise, Afro Samurai, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Ninja Gaiden 2- the cashier took my games before I had the chance to explain what I wanted to do and grumpily asked what game I wanted to pick up.
My head was crammed with thoughts of my better half finding out I was trading in games I paid $60 for and receiving less than half that in store credit to purchase ONE game, because there are only two people I know that can lecture me in a way that takes me back to early childhood; my dad, and my lady. As fear held my attention, I did hear the girl behind the counter say one thing that made me smile. She said
'Was there anything else you wanted to pre-order? Because you're really racking up some credit here.'
I thought, 'Really? Cool! Maybe she won't kill me when she sees those extra gaps in my gaming shelf…' Then I pre-ordered the new Need for Speed.
I leave the store, and on my way home it finally dawns on me that my total, before the $5 pre-order for Need for Speed, was $55. At a stoplight, I scanned the receipt and saw the following:
Bayonetta: $9
Ninja Gaiden: $3
Ninja Gaiden2: $3
Afro Samurai: $4
Burnout Paradise: $6
Normally I love Gamestop, but that's because I mostly buy used games and save, but last night I was ready to go back and burn that b!$%^ down- that lady lied to me with a straight face…I seriously doubt she thought that $25credit for 5 games was 'really racking up credit'. I'm mad at myself for not paying attention more, but here's the thing- if I worked at Gamestop and someone brought in a game worth $3 trade in credit, I'd say 'You know…you're not gonna get much for this, you sure you want to part with it???' But they just take your sh!t and keep quiet…not cool.

If you do a search for How to Clean a Microwave, you are likely to come up with a bazillion different ways to clean it. For years I have cleaned my microwave by steaming it, and it works like a charm. It's super simple, and it only takes a couple of minutes. Let me share my method on how to steam clean a microwave.
How to Clean a Microwave
First off, there are many different ways you can clean your microwave, but I really like this easy version. Not only is it quick and easy, but it will leave your microwave smelling fresh and clean.
Before I entered the world of essential oils, I would still steam clean my microwave with a lemon cut in half. Now that I have essential oils on hand, I use this super easy technique and it works every time.
What you will need on hand:
- small dish
- 2 Tbsp water
- 2 drops lemon essential oil
- sponge
How to Steam Clean a Microwave
Here is my cleaning method:
Place the 2 Tbsp water on the dish and place into the microwave.
Add the lemon essential oil.
Close your microwave door and turn on high power for 1 minute. This will effectively steam up the inside of the microwave.
Open the microwave and place your sponge on top of the water and allow it to soak into the sponge.
Then take your sponge and clean the inside of the microwave. You can also use it to clean the outside of your microwave if needed.
I love this method! It's super easy to do and it works like a charm. Lemon is a natural and powerful degreaser, and you will be amazed at how quick and easy this method is.
Now you know how to steam clean a microwave!

Windows Live is dead: Long live Microsoft account
Microsoft is making a lot of noise about its cloud services in the run up to the launch of Windows 8. Today the computing giant announced a change it will be rolling out over the next few months in branding for its cloud services.
Windows Live and your Windows Live ID provide access to a range of products and services, from Messenger to SkyDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage solution. But wrapped into Windows Live is a collection of different brands, such as Windows Live Essentials, which, with the move towards a unified cloud strategy, don't seem to fit.
In reality there isn't a huge fundamental change here. If you use a variety of Microsoft services you'll have noticed that you sign in with one account anyway. So you'll no longer have a Windows Live ID and you'll have a Microsoft account instead, which is much cleaner from a branding point of view.
Moving forward, your Microsoft account will give you access to all those cloud services you know – contacts, calendar, email, messaging and storage. Each will be integrated across devices, so when you setup your Windows 8 PC, you'll have Metro style apps for all these things and a cloud link with your other synchronised Microsoft devices.
Across this run of services, branding is cleaned up to provide a more natural flow from Windows 8, through your Windows Phone and through to browser-based access to these same offerings.
Microsoft has said it will be revealing more over the next few weeks, including teasing that it would be revealing more about its work with Skype.
We've also been talking to Microsoft about SkyDrive, which supplies the cloud storage solution for your files across Microsoft (and Apple, if you like) devices. If you're interested where Microsoft is heading with cloud services, you should read our interview with Dharmesh Mehta, senior director of Windows and Windows Live division.

text: Activision Blizzard Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Activision Blizzard ( ATVI) is playing its way to big profits in 2013 -- and its share price is already reflecting an upswing in momentum. Activision Blizzard owns some of the hottest video game franchises in the world, including Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and Diablo. The firm also boasts a huge cash position, with more than $3.4 billion of cash and investments on its balance sheet. That huge cash balance means that more than a quarter of ATVI's share price is made up of risk-free cash. On an adjusted basis, that means that the firm currently sports a P/E ratio of just 10. A big part of Activision Blizzard's cash generation capabilities come from the ongoing service component that its multiplayer games feature. With Wold of Warcraft, for instance, some 10 million subscribers pay a monthly fee to play the game online with other players in real time. That subscription component provides ATVI with recurring, high margin revenues. And they're sticky too. Because gamers have a massive sunk cost in building characters and attaining status, they're a lot less likely to switch to a competing franchise and restart the process. More recently, Activision Blizzard has been working to integrate that same cash cow model into more traditional game franchises. The firms' Call of Duty Elite service is the best example of that right now. The franchise model is another big benefit for ATVI shareholders. Because the firm can build on the popularity of its past successes within a franchise, it's able to court fans of those games with minimal extra effort. As ATVI continues to pile cash in its coffers, investors are going to need to pay attention. This stock has dramatically reduced fundamental risks thanks to that mountain of money. Prev 3 of 6 Next

Joe's Jeans
Ciara in Joe's Jeans Shorts
Ciara arrived at The Karate Kid Movie Premier at Village Theater in Westwood, California. She was wearing a tiny pair of white Joe's Jeans shorts with a check shirt and a pair of lace up boots. I really love the shirt and shorts together, the neutral tones keep the outfit more smart than if she wore short shorts with a bright coloured tank etc. I can't seem to find these shorts online as they are from a few seasons ago.
Audrina Patridge in Joe's Jeans
Audrina Patridge rocked Joe's jeans while grabbing a smoothie in Beverly Hills. These really are a perfect fit on Audrina! Just looking at these pics it makes me want to go and buy a new pair of Joe's right now! You can buy these jeans here.
New Styles By Joe's Jeans
If you are already a fan of the denim leggings by Joe's Jeans, you are going to love these even more. They have come out with a new style called the "Juliette Jeggings." They have the same comfort and fit as their original jeggings but has functionality of regular denim. They come in four different washes: a dark denim with tonal stiching, Siouxsie, a black wash, a mineral wash (shown above), and Vivienne, a medium wash denim with fading. They come in two different lengths, 25 inches and 29 inches. Check out the styles below. Click here to purchase these denim leggings at JoesJeans.
Audrina Patridge in Joe's Jeans
Audrina Patridge and co-star/friend Stephanie Pratt got snapped leaving a candy store in Beverly Hills, California yesterday (29). Audrina was wearing a skinny pair of Joe's Jeans and I am in love with her whole outfit! Those wedges really go with her top and jeans, she looks fantastic! It's so nice to not have to say 'Audrina Patridge in Divine Rights of Denim…' so much anymore, haha, even though she looks great in them. Stephanie was also wearing Ksubi Jeans.

I really have no idea.Bear stearns down by 95% but should have no impact on BPOil price went up too.So what cause the price down of BP?no idea
Hi ththegood, The connection between subprime and the BP price is, money.As this crisis unfolds - and it has a long way to go yet - people, investors, banks, institutions all run out of money. So they sell assets.When the price starts to fall, people who have not so far run out of money decide it's time to get out while they can, and find somewhere safer. This is causing the flight of money from industrial-type investment to commodity-type investment, which is seen to be a value store. In previous crises the flight has been to bonds, or particular currencies or countries, and in this case it will probably be to precious metals and energy.So BP will fall, whether it's managed well or not. Almost all stocks will, whether exposed directly to toxic waste or not.I see there's a load of armchair generals out taking their constitutionals on the board this morning, whacking away at BP. It looks different when you're inside looking out. I'm still putting my money on Tony Hayward rather than Tony Bafoo.
Subprime was a bad decision by the managers of invesment houses who obliterated capital by not lending in a responsible fashion. Bottom line, it came down to inept management.I'll extrapolate your question by presenting a company example. How is BSC related to BP, bad management. The market is concerned about BP because of mistakes made around cost cutting by management. I don't have to expound on the mistakes. The senior line of management has been cut and the next line moved up, same genetics as before. The theme is still cost cutting and reorganization, see the recent comments by Tony Hayward in Phoenix in the press, sounded a little desperate to me. Bottom line, bad management screwed BSC and is bringing down BP, but more slowly. Proof: oil is close to an all time high and BP stock has been tankingyou do the math.
whatever you said is very trueinept management is the best term to explain the tanking price.

WATERLOO — University of Iowa president Sally Mason said if given a second chance, she would not have changed how she handled a sexual harassment complaint filed against one of the school's athletic advisers.
Peter Gray, who had served as associate director of Athletic Student Services and director of academic advising and counseling, resigned from the university Nov. 5 amid allegations he violated the school's sexual harassment policy.
On Nov. 9 the Iowa City Press-Citizen published information from an internal report that alleged Gray violated the policy by giving students shoulder massages, hugging and other inappropriate touching. Gray admitted to some of the touching but denied grabbing a student's genitals or buttocks, according to the Associated Press.
Mason was made aware of the complaint in mid-October and immediately launched an investigation. Gray was put on administrative leave the same day and then voluntarily chose to resign, she said.
"In terms of personnel records, that would not have been something that we would have shared publicly," Mason told The Courier editorial board Monday. "... Those reports are done in a confidential manner to protect the complainant, but also to some extent to protect the person being complained against because at that time you don't know if there is something to be complained about."
Mason said the stance is supported by the university's general counsel.
Ultimately, the result would still be the same, Mason added. Gray would not be employed by the University of Iowa.
While there appears to be no criminal misconduct, Mason said the university is completing a full audit of the allegations and of the university's hiring process. Gray, who was first employed at the university from 1993 to 1995, was rehired in 2002 through a national search. According to the internal report the behavior also took place during Gray's first employment with the university.
Mason said they are auditing the hiring process "to make sure we have good processes in place and that we follow them." But, she said that evaluating this committee and the process used will be "tricky" because it happened so long ago.
The university is also re-evaluating its recently ramped-up sexual harassment policy.
"You can't have a hostile work environment. We had mandated sexual harassment training for every employee. The athletic department has a very high compliance rate. Over 96 percent had gone through the training and yet somehow the complaints were not being dealt with the way they were supposed to be," she said. "That is what we are following up on now. To make sure that we don't have another lapse there or anywhere else in the university in terms of how these things are reported."

The Best Spinach Alfredo Pizza Ever
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 13 mins
This is a pizza that I made up, and have made it twice now with people moaning through every bite. It is excellent, and you MUST use the Classico Alfredo sauce.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2⁄3-1 cup classico alfredo sauce
- 25 leaves spinach
- 1⁄4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- pizza dough (enough for one 12-inch pizza)
- Roll out the fresh pizza dough into a 12 inch circle, and place onto your stone or sheet.
- Spread the alfredo sauce around and out to the edges and then lay the spinach on top of that, making sure not to overlap pieces of spinach.
- Then sprinkle cheeses on top and bake at 475 for 10-13 minutes, or whatever you normally bake your pizza pie at.
Most Helpful
Very yummy! I went to the heavier side of the sauce, and next time will go with the lower end. I also added some diced cooked chicken I had leftover from another meal...delish!
Excellent tasting pizza. I used a homemade pizza dough which worked fine. I added chopped artichoke hearts and black olives to the toppings and WOW was it good! Not a better pizza around than this one. Thanks for sharing it!
This was okay. Surprisingly, my kids ate it without complaining about the "green stuff" on their pizza. :) Although, they didn't ask for a second slice and were hungry again later on in the evening. My husband did not like this and I thought it was average.
