Investing in the Unknown and Unknowable
From David Ricardo making a fortune buying British government bonds on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo to Warren Buffett selling insurance to the California earthquake authority, the wisest investors have earned extraordinary returns by investing in the unknown and the unknowable (UU). But they have done so on a reasoned, sensible basis. This essay explains some of the central principles that such investors employ. It starts by discussing ``ignorance," a widespread situation in the real world of investing, where even the possible states of the world are not known. Traditional finance theory does not apply in UU situations.Strategic thinking, deducing what other investors might know or not, and assessing whether they might be deterred from investing, for example due to fiduciary requirements, frequently point the way to profitability. Most big investment payouts come when money is combined with complementary skills, such as knowing how to develop real estate or new technologies. Those who lack these skills can look for ``sidecar" investments that allow them to put their money alongside that of people they know to be both capable and honest. The reader is asked to consider a number of such investments.Central concepts in decision analysis, game theory, and behavioral decision are deployed alongside real investment decisions to unearth successful investment strategies. These strategies are distilled into eight investment maxims. Learning to invest more wisely in a UU world may be the most promising way to significantly bolster your prosperity.

#591: Get Your Money's Worth
July 18, 2016
Stories of people trying to make sure they get what they paid for, from political change to bedroom slippers. We follow a donor as he vets presidential candidates, and go inside a company wrestling with the consequences of its "no questions asked," lifetime return policy.
#168: The Fix Is In
July 11, 2016
There are all sorts of situations in which we suspect the fix is in, but we almost never find out for certain. On today's show, for once, we find out. The whole program is devoted to one story, in which we go inside the back rooms of one multinational corporation and hear the intricate workings—recorded on tape—of how they put the fix in. (Pictured: former ADM executive Mark Whitacre)
#362: Got You Pegged
July 4, 2016
Shalom Auslander goes on vacation with his family, and suspects the beloved, chatty old man in the room next door is an imposter—and sets out to prove it. This and other stories about the pitfalls of making snap judgments about others.
#590: Choosing Wrong
June 27, 2016
Stories of people making the wrong choice, even though the right one is staring them squarely in the eye. Basketball players making a conscious decision to not do the thing that makes them better, pollsters refusing to see the truth of Donald Trump, and more.

The flat was nice, cozy and clean. Neighbours were a bit loud, BUT it's an old house, it has thin walls and that's it. Everything was great from the start: Carolina was very nice and gave us precious advice for our start to Lisbon.
If I ever get the chance to visit Lisbon again, I definitely will stay in one of Luis' apartments!
The Blue House was a great host, thanks for having us!
Sehr schöne renovierte helle Altbauwohnung in der Nähe der Bica-Seilbahn.
Vermieter nett und unkompliziert mit guten Tipps für Ausflüge und Lokale.
Einziger Nachteil: Steile und enge Treppe hinauf zur Wohnung; schwierig mit großen Gepäckstücken. Trotzdem: Höchstpunktzahl!
Leuk appartement, goed verzorgd, mooie locatie in Lissabon, supermarktje naast de deur, voor verse broodjes en fruit, en je loopt zo de leuke wijken in!
Ontvangst was goed geregeld, en snelle reactie toen we een vraag hadden. Zeer aan te bevelen.
Een super verblijf gehad in Lissabon. Volop zon, vier dagen een 10. Het appartement is gelegen aan een rustig straatje. In de nabijheid een cafetaria, waar je dagelijkse boodschappen kunt halen en een kopje espresso kunt drinken, twee kroegjes waar je (met uitzicht op de bijzondere tram) een wijntje kunt drinken. "s nachts geen last van rumoer, maar wel op loopafstand van het gezellige Bairo Alto. Het appartement is compleet ingericht. Fijne douche, royale keuken en slaapkamers (matrassen iets aan de harde kant). De ontvangst en het afscheid door de hosts was gastvrij, sympathiek en relaxed. Een plek om nog eens terug te komen.
super great apartment with 2 balconies. good location with lots of native shoppings and metro station right outside the door. the apartment was clean and everything was fine.
contact to rental companies was fine , everything went well.
I would stay here again, although it was in 5.floor without elevator, but it was no problem for us.
great location. nice people
When Ruth opened the door to the loft, we were absolutely surprised. It's a very special and great apartment with an absolutely modern kitchen.
Ruth was very nice and friendly like everyone else at the Blue House was. I would definitely recommend staying there!
Vero nice apartment in a strategic location
We spent an amazing weekend in Lisboa, the apartment was really nice, clean, confortable for 7 people. Very good situation in Lisboa. We found an arrangement in order to let our luggage in the appartment after the check out, thank you very much for everything !!!
We recommend this appartment !!

Podere Brizio Brunello di Montalcino 2006
Sangiovese from Tuscany, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Stainless steel with pumping over and controlled temperature; after the fermentation the wine is put in new oak casks where it undergoes the malo-lactic fermentation.
On the label of our Brunello di Montalcino there is the reproduction of a rare silver coin called "Parpagliola". It dates back to year 1556, and it is owned by Roberto Bellini.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "A smooth customer, with sweet oak spice, ripe cherry, plum and black tea aromas and flavors. The stiff structure shows up on the finish, but this has depth and layers, lingering for a long time on the finish. Best from 2013 through 2026. "
Podere Brizio Winery
The production area is the entire territory of Montalcino's county, at 40 km south from Siena. It's delimited by the Valle dell'Orcia, dell'Asso and dell'Ombrone and it's spread over approximately 16 km with a surface of 2400 hectares.
Montalcino took shape during different geological eras, as a consequence, its soil results made of different compositions. In order to cultivate grapevines, only the hilly vineyards, well displayed and at an altitude under 600 meters above the sea's level are regarded as suitable winegrowing areas. Our vineries are displayed at an altitude of 200 meters a.s.l. to 320 meters a.s.l. View all Podere Brizio Wines
About Tuscany(TUSS-can-ee) Sangiovese. Most of the wine coming from Tuscany is made from some clone of this varietal, but a growing trend, started by the renegade winemakers of those Super Tuscans, is to incorporate more international varietals.
Notable FactsThe most well known sub-districts of Tuscany are Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (note that Montepulciano here refers to the local village, not the grape variety found in the Italian region of Abruzzi). Wine labeled from these regions is DOC-regulated and Sangiovese-based blends. Quality wine from these DOC areas has been on the rise for decades, with top-notch winemakers and wineries shedding the low-quality image once held for Tuscan wine by producing consistently outstanding bottlings that range from deliciously drinkable to highly ageable. Newer to the scene are regions like Bohlgeri and the Maremma, home to of what are now termed "Super-Tuscans," named for the wine coming from the Tuscany area, but not following all of the DOC or DOCG laws required in Italy. In the 1970's, some pioneer winemakers began buying land outside of Chianti and Montalcino, and planting not only Sangiovese, but also international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The wine they produced only fit into the lowest Italian category of "vina da tavola," but the winemakers sold the wine for high prices, creating an almost cult following, and spurning a new wine category called IGT.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

The city of San Marcos has received more than $1.4 million in Housing Related Parks grant funds from the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
The city will use the funds for the design and construction of a new park, which will be built on a city-owned vacant land in the Richmar neighborhood.
"With the loss of redevelopment dollars, the city relies now more than ever on grants to create and maintain community spaces available to all income levels," said Karl Schwarm, San Marcos director of housing and neighborhood services. "Improving the surrounding neighborhoods with more park land adds to the high quality of life residents enjoy here in San Marcos."
The Housing Related Parks program is designed to reward local governments that support affordable housing. Funds are allocated on a per-bedroom basis for each residential unit that targets the very low to low income households.
During the 2010 to 2013 grant period, the city approved close to 320 affordable housing units, including the Autumn Terrace, Parkview, Sage Point and Westlake Village apartments.
Since 2004, the city has received nearly $2.8 million from four similar state grants based on affordable housing production. These previous funds supported the expansion of Walnut Grove Park, the construction of Sunset and Hollandia parks, and the new Connors Park.

DD has been in underpants since 12/31, at her request. We've had our ups and downs, but she's doing great now. She pretty much doesn't have pee accidents unless we forget to take her potty every 2 hours or so. I have to be a little more diligent to prevent poop accidents since they don't follow the 2 hour schedule. But by watching for her cues, most of the time we don't have poop accidents either, or if we do they're pretty minor and most of it gets into the potty.
But on the rare occasions that she asks to go to the potty, it's almost always too late.
What should I be doing at this point to move to the next step? Anything? If I keep taking her every 2 hours, will she ever learn to ask? Should I start stretching it out and risk the inevitable accidents that will result? If so, when should I start? Or should I keep doing what I'm doing?

By Island Palm Communities, News ReleaseApril 29, 2011
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - "You guys really pack 'em in," exclaimed Cory Larrieu about the crowds attending the fourth Annual Earth Day Festival, here, April 20.
Larrieu, a member of the Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative, was among dozens of community, civic and Army organizations participating in the annual event that drew more than a thousand family members, Soldiers and civilians to Sills Field, here.
U.S. Army Garrison-Hawaii, Island Palm Communities and various community organizations teamed up to share a wealth of knowledge about environmental sustainability.
Participants enjoyed live entertainment and raffles. Displays showcased new technologies like the Army's Smart-Charging Micro Grid that provides a clean source of energy through solar panels. Also, Hawaii's Department of Agriculture displayed live creatures that are prohibited by the state, such as a python, Madagascar hissing cockroaches and coqui frogs that can harm the natural environment.
Past Earth Day Festivals focused on exhibits and activities for families, but this year an effort was made to bring in programming that would interest Soldiers, too.
"We just finished a course on solar grids, so I let my staff come over to see the micro grid," said Staff Sgt. Adam Konkle, Company A, 249th Engineer Battalion, "Prime Power," U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The IPC utilities booth offered information on how families can conserve energy at home, like taking showers that last less than 10 minutes. Sisters Daniella and Lauryn McCoy, who live in the Kalakaua community, stopped by the booth to learn new tips.
"I put my TV on the sleep mode, so if I fall asleep it will turn off," said Lauryn, 11. "And, I also turn off my sisterAca,!a,,cs TV if she falls asleep."
Organizations participating in the event included USAG-HI's Directorate of Public Works, Directorate of Emergency Services and the Native Hawaiian Liaison Office; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; and the Department of Entomology, Tripler Army Medical Center.

IMF Thinks Greece Should Consider Debt Restructuring, WSJ Says
The International Monetary Fund believes Greece's debt is unsustainable and that the country's government should consider a restructuring as early as next year, the Wall Street Journal said, citing three unidentified people familiar with the situation.
Senior IMF officials have told European Commission and euro-zone governments that a restructuring should be considered, the paper said. IMF, which hasn't recommended a restructuring of all the country's debt, has considered extending its loan repayment schedule, IMF spokesman William Murray told the paper.
Euro-zone officials, including finance ministers, have said it is necessary to restructure Greece's debt and the European Central Bank responded by saying it didn't want a public discussion, an unidentified official familiar with the situation told WSJ.
A first step would be to substantially extend Greek bond maturities, another unidentified official said, according to the paper. That may include extending debt repayments by as much as 30 years, the official said.

World Headlines: Immigrants A Net Boost To U.K., Study Says
Britain, The Guardian
We begin with a hot-button issue in Britain – and elsewhere: immigration.
Migrants to Britain since 2000 are less likely to receive benefits or use government housing than those people already in the country. That's according to a new study by the University of London's migration research unit.
The study released Tuesday found that these migrants made a net contribution of nearly $40 billion to public finances. Migrants from the European Economic Area were most likely to make a positive contribution. They paid about 34 percent more in taxes than they received. For immigrants from other parts of the world, the figure was 2 percent.
But when the study examined migrants from non-EEA countries coming to Britain since 1995, it found they claimed more in benefits than they paid in taxes.
The findings come amid a public debate in Britain over immigration.
Venezuela, El Universal
Next to Venezuela, whose economy is struggling with inflation as well as a devalued currency.
The devalued bolivar has increased the prices of imported goods and are hurting Venezuelan families.
The country's central bank said the wholesale price of imported goods rose 42.5 percent in the first seven months of the year; that's about six times the 7.2 percent increase during the same period last year.
The bolivar has dropped more than 30 percent against the dollar since the start of the year.
China, Xinhua
Finally to China, where a popular Olympian is in trouble with the law – and his fans.
Sun Yang, an Olympic swimming gold medalist, has been detained for seven days and fined about $330 after driving a Porsche SUV without a license and being involved in a crash.
Sun, who was uninjured in the incident in Hangzhou, was rear-ended by a bus. He says he'd borrowed the SUV from a relative. The 21-year-old said he didn't have a license.
"I should have been a role model, as an athlete and a public figure, but I failed in my responsibility," he told his 20 million followers on the social media site Sina Weibo.
In another story on the incident, Xinhua noted that this isn't the first time Sun "was in negative exposure."
At the 2012 Olympics in London, Sun became the first Chinese man to win a swimming gold medal and he's considered one of China's top sportsmen.

Widely used molecular-chips of today are expression type DNA-microarrays. These chips are not commonly used in clinical practice due to the high cost, the need for extensive laboratory devices and due to not well clarified results. Therefore the need for simple mass-production methods is constantly growing. In our work we have developed a new DNA immobilisation method for DNA binding on polypyrrole modified gold electrode. After immobilisation of biotin labeled DNA on electrode the detection was performed through streptavidin-texas red dye binding. The unlabeled DNA probes were detected using bis benzimide dye. For the visualisation of the DNA in detection we used confocal fluorescence microscope. We investigated the influence of the polymerisation time to thickness and quality of the polymer film and the influence of the quantity of DNA for detection and immobilisation. In our conception we targeted to build a clinically applicable chip, to be used for the identification of PCR amplified DNAs for known mutations of inherited diseases in the future.

I tried using above category for category id 166 .. but it gave an error. I could see 'Nation' listed in the drop down on the menu page as conditional but when activated it didn't work. I'm sure I'm missing some code. Could you please help??

You Missed Your Chance to Own a 9/11 Cheese Plate
It's been pulled from the museum's gift shop.
Following the public outcry over the horrifyingly tacky USA-shaped platter featuring hearts where the planes hit on 9/11, the item has been pulled from the National September 11 Memorial Museum's gift shop. Joe Daniels, president of the memorial foundation, tells The Wall Street Journal that in the future, 9/11 victims' family members who sit on the foundation's board will be asked to approve items sold at the site. "Once the public starts coming in, you learn so much," Daniels said. "We in no way presume to get everything right. We will accept that criticism, absolutely." It sounds like museum visitors are going to be forced to find dog vests that don't commemorate one of the biggest tragedies in American history.

AN American Tragedy
by Theodore Dreiser
Mass Market Paperback
37 used & new
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Simple Plan
Jan. 6 2004
This review is from:
AN American Tragedy (Mass Market Paperback)
The film "A Simple Plan" could have easily been called "An American Tragedy," and the book "An American Tragedy" could have just as easily been called "A Simple Plan." The plan at the book's center seems so simple indeed. The novel's protagonist, Clyde Griffiths, impregnates a girl below his social station, and he's so terrified by the idea of being exposed and ruining his chances at a life as part of the social elite (and losing the local well-to-do beauty to whom he's hitched himself) that he actually finds himself driven to kill her as his only escape. But Clyde has a simple mind, and his efforts to claw his way out of a desperate situation that inexorably suffocates him is compelling fiction.
Theodore Dreiser has been called one of the worst great writers in the history of literature, and that claim is justified. He can hardly compose a sentence that doesn't drop like lead from the tongue. He's especially fond of the double negative, which can become pretty tedious in a 900+ page novel. And in retrospect, the amount of plot on display in his novel does not seem to warrant its length, but somehow, I was able to overcome these two factors and find myself engrossed in it anyway. It doesn't for one second become boring or slow. And it offers some especially candid and frank ideas about the nature of guilt and the culpability of those who take lives, whether they're working on the side of crime or the law. Most fascinating for me were the novel's final pages, when Clyde tries to turn to religion for solace when he's at his loneliest, but can't get around the notion that there's really nothing to turn to.
Dreiser pulls off quite a feat by making all of his characters sympathetic. I didn't want Clyde to get away scot-free with what he'd done, but my heart couldn't help but go out to him. Likewise, Roberta, the girl he wrongs, could have come across as shrewish in another author's hands (she does in the film version, "A Place in the Sun," if you're interested in a literature to film comparison) but she doesn't here. Even Sondra, who could have been so unlikeably spoiled, comes across as essentially a warm character.
1925 was the literary year for deconstructing the American Dream. Both "An American Tragedy" and "The Great Gatsby" came out that year, and while I have to admit that "Gatsby" is a better written book, "Tragedy" just has a visceral appeal for me, and it's the one I enjoyed more.

Yankee Doodle Cagney
Dec 5 2003
This review is from:
Yankee Doodle Dandy (Two-Disc Special Edition) (Sous-titres fran�ais) [Import] (DVD)
I didn't expect to like this movie at all, as I'm not much of a flag waver and from the isolated scenes I had seen from this film, that seemed to be all that took place in it. It's still pretty cornball in its approach to American patriotism and fervour, and with the American government currently bullying its way around the world, the "let's be proud we're all Americans" broo-hah-hah on display in the film is even harder to digest. But don't avoid this movie if those are your only reservations about it.
"Yankee Doodle Dandy" has an energetic drive to it that many films lack. The 125-minute running time flies by, and the film is never once boring. This energy is due almost entirely to one thing: James Cagney.
Cagney tears into the role of George M. Cohan with everything he's got, and just try taking your eyes off of him whenever he's on screen. He can't sing at all, and he's really more of an acrobat than a dancer, but he pulls off the role of a Broadway showman effortlessly.
The rah-rah American sentiments are obviously a product of the time, and little more than World War II propaganda at moments, but I could swallow them easier in this film for some reason. Maybe because when they're at their most intrusive (the "Grand Old Flag" number, for instance), the spectacle is so rousing that I would have been just as moved if they'd been singing about cheese and crackers.
A deservedly beloved American classic.

The Devil No Match for an American Politician
Dec 5 2003
This review is from:
Devil & Daniel Webster (DVD)
This film could never work now, because Americans are far too cynical to accept a politician beating the Devil in a battle of morals. Now the politician would be in the Devil's hip pocket.
"The Devil and Daniel Webster" is a creepy, effective little morality tale about a farmer who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for prosperity and the politician who ends up defending him and winning it back.
What seemed startling in 1941 feels mostly creaky by today's standards, but there are still some fresh moments of film making in this one. William Dieterle was obviously open to experimentation when it comes to the use of cinematography and sound, and the movie has a striking visual look. The plot is mostly connect the dots, and there are no real surprises, but I don't know that one watches a morality tale for surprises in the first place.
Walter Huston is extremely creepy as the Devil (aka Mr. Scratch). He received a Best Actor Academy Award nomination for his performance even though, based on sheer screen time, he really has more of a supporting role. But he's so effective when on screen that his presence dominates the film even when he's physically absent, which probably accounts for the lead nomination.
Edward Arnold is pretty good too as Daniel Webster. Also standing out is Jane Darwell (Ma Joad in "The Grapes of Wrath") as a hardened farm mother.
Parts of this film have a wicked sense of humour, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The trial at the end (with a literal jury of the damned), is especially amusing.
On a sidenote, the film was successful in capturing the 1941 Academy Award for Best Dramatic Score.
Don't expect to see any points made that haven't already been made a thousand times in a thousand other movies, but enjoy the originality of the film technique on display.

A Charmer
Dec 5 2003
This review is from:
The Bishop's Wife (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
"The Bishop's Wife" is one of the better Christmas movies out there. I wouldn't place it as high as "Miracle on 34th Street," but it's in that league, and certainly has a similar feel.
Henry Koster does a fine job of giving the film a leisurely pace without letting it drag, and the performances are uniformly solid. It is somewhat of a shame to see David Niven stuck in a part that doesn't allow him much room for humour, as he can be so funny. And I do have to admit that Loretta Young's allure alludes me somewhat. She doesn't seem very dynamic for two men (or should I say a man and an angel) to be making such a fuss over. But she's certainly more than passable.
One of my favorite performances came from Elsa Lanchester, in a minor role as the family maid.
This movie becomes magical only once---during the ice skating scene between Cary Grant, Young and James Gleason. That could have gone on for hours and I would have been transfixed. But not every movie can be magical, and this film is a very good (if non-magical) one.
Pop in on a snowy night, light the Christmas tree, make some hot chocolate, and enjoy.

Love is a Syrupy, Schmaltzy Thing
Dec 4 2003
This review is from:
Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
This film looks great, and that's about where my praise ends.
"Love Is a Many Splendored Thing" came out in the very schizophrenic year of 1955, when candy-coloured nonsense like this co-existed with trail-blazing artistic fair like "Kiss Me Deadly." As a trend toward smaller, socially conscious films like "On the Waterfront" and "Marty" established itself in the mid-50's, other directors felt the need to stick with the unchallenging, pandering melodrama that classifies so many other films from that decade, and "Love" is one of the latter.
This is the kind of 50's movie where the Technicolor is used to its garish utmost and the lighting is invariably high-key; even scenes taking place in a dark room or at night are brighter than the average sunny day. I never want to hear the theme song again, as it's played frequently enough over the course of the film to last anyone a lifetime, and I certainly don't want to hear it sung by the shrill, ear-piercing choir that belts it out over the end titles. Jennifer Jones and William Holden are passable, but really anybody could have played these parts. Jones' role is horribly written--her character is incredibly inconsistent, and it seems as if whenever her character is required to make a decision about something, the screenwriters flipped a coin to decide what that decision would be.
People will undoubtedly tell me I'm taking this film too seriously, that I'm unromantic, etc. But I loved "All That Heaven Allows," released the same year and just as cornball in its own way, except that Douglas Sirk is able to turn melodrama into an art form, whereas Henry King (director of "Love") is not.
I'm usually able to enjoy bad melodrama, but in this case I was just bored.

Stylish and Thrilling
Dec 2 2003
This review is from:
Rififi (The Criterion Collection) (Bilingual) (DVD)
"Rififi" is a terrific heist movie, and one from which subsequent heist films have drawn ever since. Jules Dassin had a feel for the seedy underworld in which these thieves live---you will not find here the Hollywood glamour of "Ocean's Eleven." The robbers in "Rififi" don't rob for the thrill, and they're not playing a game. They rob to survive, to pay for their children's upbringing, to prove to themselves and others that they still have something to offer the world.
The much-lauded heist scene is a nail biter, filmed in virtual silence. I did have the feeling that the plot went on a bit longer than it needed to, but the high-speed race to deliver the child to his mother that ends the film is classic.
Be warned---this movie is very bleak. But it's also very good.

Good, But Not Magical
Dec 2 2003
This review is from:
Beauty and The Beast (The Criterion Collection) (DVD)
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I preferred the animated Disney version of this story to the 1946 Jean Cocteau film. I'm no Disney fan, and I would personally like to stop them from taking over the world (along with Starbucks), but this is one case where I just thought they instilled this fairy tale with more magic. I missed the character of Gaston in the Cocteau version, and I missed also the delightful assortment of animated objects. And I think this story is particularly conducive to being set to music, and I enjoyed the songs in the Disney version.
However, on its own terms, the 1946 release is well done, and considered by many to be the definitive version of the beauty/beast tale. I thought the acting was bland, though Belle is indeed a beauty. And there are moments of pure movie magic: the candelabras that light Belle's way, the fireplace that watches her father eat. And for once slow motion is used in a way that doesn't feel cliche. But the relationship between Belle and the Beast isn't well developed. You don't see Belle falling in love with him over the course of the film, and when she professes her love at the end, it seems to come out of thin air. And was I the only one confused by the transformation at the end? It doesn't get explained well at all. Though it is kind of funny at how blase Belle is when the Beast becomes a hunk and says she'll have to get used to his new face.
The film is interesting in that it acknowledges the Beast's animalistic nature. He hunts wild game, he craves blood, and more than once you wonder whether or not he'd rather eat Belle than court her. There's a violent eroticism underlying this film, that I found surprising for the year it was released.
I know Cocteau asks his audience at the film's beginning to watch the film with the eyes of a child and to give itself over to the enchantment of fairy tales, and I have no problem doing that. But even so, I felt like he was using fairy tale logic to explain away things that could have been explained better.

Carter Beats the Devil

This review is from:
Carter Beats the Devil (Paperback)
***Some spoilers ahead***
This book took a little while to get moving for me, but once it did, it really took off and I was hooked.
"Carter Beats the Devil" is a sprawling thing, loosely historical (very loosely) and freshly unpredictable. I didn't realize until I read Glen David Gold's afterword that Charles Carter was a real magician performing in the heyday (teens and '20s) of the magic boom in the U.S. But don't be scared away by a dose of history with your fiction. The history on display here is only history in the loosest sense of the word. This book is first and foremost a work of fiction; let's face it---any book that has Warren Harding living on a deserted island with his wife and a menagerie of retired circus animals can't be taken too seriously, right?
The beginning of the book, detailing Carter's childhood and his motivations in becoming a magician, aren't that involving. For once, I just didn't care why he became a magician, and I would have accepted "he just wanted to perform magic" as reason enough. But on top of motivation not being necessary, the motivation Gold does provide isn't particularly interesting.
On top of the weak beginning, I thought the book was going to run a predictable course: Begin with framing device, explain childhood of protagonist, explain success of protagonist, explain downfall of protagonist, explain comeback of protagonist, return to framing device. I thought the novel would end with Harding's death, since that it is where it starts. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that the real plot didn't even get started until after Harding has "died." Once I reached this point in the book, I couldn't put it down and found scene after scene to be thrilling and memorable: the demonstration of T.V., a secret meeting of anarchists, an over-the-top duel involving knives, a motorcycle, a tiger, a water tank and a levitation device....Oh don't ask----just read it.
A very fun book, and definitely recommended if you're in the mood for a little escapism (pun intended).

Stunning, if You're in the Mood for It
Dec 2 2003
This review is from:
To the Lighthouse (Paperback)
Take my word for it--if you've not read Virginia Woolf before--you need to be in the mood to read her. I think her books can be unbearable otherwise. However, I was in the mood for "To the Lighthouse," and I thought it was terrific.
I've been much more intrigued by Virginia Woolf after Michael Cunningham's "The Hours," (and the subsequent film) brought her back into the limelight. She was fascinated with the degree to which everyday, seemingly trivial details of life can seem to be matters upon which the state of the world hinge in the lives of those experiencing them. Therefore, in Virginia Woolf's world, the decision as to whether or not a vacationing family will visit a lighthouse on the following day becomes the focus of everyone's thoughts--to a little boy, it seems as if his world will end if he doesn't get to go; to the father, his ability to determine whether or not they will go gives him a sense of power and authority over his wife and children.
And at the center of all this non-drama is Mrs. Ramsay, wife and mother, who is the foundation upon which the family is built. Woolf is expert in communicating the influence Mrs. Ramsay has on those around her. Everyone is struck by her beauty, her bearing, her very existence. It's this quality in her that makes so many wives and mothers the center of their respective families, which gives "To the Lighthouse" a sort of universality that resonated very strongly with me.
There has been a lot of literary study on the psychology of the novel (especially Freudian), which has become somewhat less interesting as Freud has become commonplace. I would instead appreciate it for the utter mastery of language exhibited by Woolf, and the insights she has into male/female relationships.
"To the Lighthouse" is one of those books that left me feeling incredibly sad in a very satisfied way, and I can't even tell you why. I don't always enjoy such ethereal writing (I don't even enjoy other books by Woolf) but in this case I enjoyed every word.

Historical Fiction, with an Emphasis on Historical
Dec 2 2003
This review is from:
I, Claudius (Paperback)
I was very excited to read "I, Claudius" because of the almost unanimous praise it has received by Amazon readers. I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed in it.
It's by no means a bad book, but I found that Robert Graves' cold historical voice kept me at a distance emotionally from the story and characters. Graves relates the story in a "first this happened, then that happened" kind of way, which has the benefit of explaining the history surrounding Claudius's rise to Roman Emperor in a clear and non-convoluted way. However, Graves' approach to the story also succeeds in keeping the reader uninvolved in the proceedings, because characters never become alive, but instead remain as about as engaging as the people you read about in high school history books.
In short, I would recommend this book if you're in the mood for a plot-driven novel---and believe me, there's plenty of plot to sink your teeth into.
But if you're in the mood to wrap your mind around fully developed characters and psychological complexity, I would read something besides this.

What are risk factors for Naegleria fowleri infection?
The source of nearly all of the 128 Naegleria fowleri infections reported since 1962 in the U.S. has been exposure to warm freshwater. These include freshwater lakes and rivers, particularly in Texas and Florida. More than one-quarter of all cases are reported from Florida and most cases have occurred in the South, although recent cases have been reported from Minnesota, from Lake Havasu City in Arizona, from Los Angeles in California, and other sites. Other freshwater sources have included hot springs, poorly chlorinated pools, untreated well water, water heaters, neti pots, and warm water discharge from power plants. Of the 31 cases reported from 2003 to 2012, 28 people acquired the disease from recreational exposure to freshwater and three people acquired it from irrigating their nose with contaminated tap water. There is a decided summertime predominance of cases, and even lakes in the southern States have higher levels of this microbe commonly during the warmer months.
More than 75% of cases since 1962 were in children or adolescents, and 75% or more were in males. It is known that exposure of the olfactory nerve to contaminated water is the portal of entry to the brain. This exposure often results from water being forcefully introduced into the nose during trauma such as dunking, diving, or crashing while water skiing.
Hundreds of millions of people go to swimming venues where N. fowleri is found, but fortunately very few become infected. We are unable to calculate an accurate estimate of the true risk of invasive Naegleria fowleri infection.
What are symptoms and signs of a Naegleria fowleri infection?
After entering the nose, the amoeba travels into the brain along the olfactory nerve and through membranes to enter the brain. Once in the brain, it causes primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (meaning inflammation of the brain and the lining around the brain), sometimes abbreviated as PAM.
After exposure to the offending water source, there is generally a two-stage illness. A person infected with Naegleria fowleri will usually develop stage 1 symptoms within two to seven days of exposure.
Stage 1 signs and symptoms include:
Stage 2 usually begins one to 12 days after stage 1 and may include:
- stiff neck,
- seizures,
- altered mental status,
- hallucinations,
- coma.
The infection progresses so quickly that many people are not diagnosed until after death.

Released: Nov 01st, 1992
Running Time: 82
Director: Sam Abdul
Company: Mustang Video
Cast: Bill Marlowe, Alex Carrington, Mitch Rabida, Adam Archer, Rod Garetto, Gino Colbert, Danny Sommers
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
This video impresses more with its ambition and sincerity than with its dramatic effect, but the story of a psychic (Marlowe) intent on finding the murderer of his brother (Archer) contains the seeds of a major production. The sex scenes are good, but underedited; they would be much hotter if they were shorter. Abdul still shows the influence of mentor Gino Colbert, but he seems determined to transcend the limitations of the B-line production — and for that we should all be grateful.

Mini Angel Food Cakes for Two
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 22 mins
I got this recipe off of the package that contained 2 mini angel food cake pans (4 1/2 X 2" ). I made 1/2 of the recipe for one cake and it turned out perfectly and would serve 2-3 for one cake. I served it with fresh strawberries, ice cream and whipped topping and it was a hit.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 2⁄3 cup sugar, divided
- 4 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sift flour with 1/3 cup sugar 3 times.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites and salt with electric mixer until foamy; add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form; fold in vanilla. In two additions, gently fold in flour mixture until just combined. Divide batter between the two pans; place on sheet pan.
- Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until browned and toothpick inserted comes out clean. Invert pans on cooling grid to cool. Loosen cakes from pans with spatuals; remove from pans.
Most Helpful
This recipe interested me because I always use cake flour and powdered sugar plus regular when I make my recipe. So I wanted to see how the texture of this cake compares to mine. I was able to get 3 mini cakes out of this recipe. My mini pans are a two piece angel food and the measure 4x2. I'll come back tomorrow after the taste test and give my rating. Well, sorry to say we did not like this at all. It was dry and tough. I don't know why but when I mixed dry ingredients into whites, it was hard to get them to mix for some reason. Needless to say I'll stick with my Angel Food Cake - Homemade. Sorry for the 1 star, I guess I'm spoiled from the real thing. Made for 1~2~3 Hits ~ September 2010
These have really good flavor! Like the other reviewer I was able to make them gluten free by using equal parts of brown rice flour and potato starch. While they are not like the angel food cake I remember in my pre-gluten free days, they are a pretty close second. DH thought they were great and he doesn't need to be gluten free. This yielded 5-4" x 1" cakes. Will definitely make these again using a finer rice flour. Thanks for posting this Diner! Made for May Pool Party 2010.
Great recipe for small quantities! I have two small butterfly shape cake pans but always had difficulties to scale down recipes to fit this pans. This one was just perfect - equally perfect for making gluten free because the simple mix of fine rice flour and arrowroot starch worked fantastic. DH had his cake with hot cherries and caramel sauce and was perfectly happy :D Thanks for sharing! Made for Sweet Traditions Tag Game November 2009.

Odds of Hanging On
Not everyone can hack it in magic, but thanks to Harry Potter and other incredible fantasy novels and shows, magic has been experiencing a cultural resurgence. Children's party magicians are certainly benefiting from the series.
More than anything, if you put the time in to practice your craft, create new routines, and perfect all of your illusions, you'll be in higher demand and will be better equipped to hang on.
Some people are naturally more talented at sleight of hand or misdirection, and others can talk a good game with the audience, but all of it takes hard work and lots of refining. The more you practice, the more seamless your tricks will become, until the most unbelievable part of your show is how much money you make from it.

Two problems
July 27, 2016
I have stayed at this hotel several times before and never had a problem other than it is difficult at certain times of the day to go left out of the parking lot and the parking lot is small and I have had to park pretty far from the door coming back at night alone.
However, this stay. The phone in my room rang around 10:15. When I answered, a woman - who spoke to me by my last name - said she was at the front desk and the computers were down and they needed my billing address to complete their night audit. I thought it was odd to call so late but I gave the address (which is not my home address). Then she said that they were going to comp one of my nights for the "inconvenience" and needed my credit card. Um, no. I was instantly suspicious and declined to give it saying it would bring it to the desk later. She tried to convince me again but I continued to resist. The next morning I confirmed with the front desk that it was a scam. However, this person had no ability to call my room directly from outside the hotel. So she was either in the hotel or someone in the hotel transferred the call to my room. The gentleman at the front desk said she probably got lucky when she called in that I have a common last name and there was only one person with that name saying on property. They didn't ask to confirm my room number. Hopefully they will in the future.
So, that night I went to bed and woke up around 5:30 and was debating getting up when I felt something on my arm. I brushed at it and jumped up and turned on the light. It was a roach. IN my bed. On my arm. Needless to say I didn't sleep anymore and had a hard time sleeping every night after that. The day I checked out I was in the parking lot around 4 am and there was a roach climbing on the car next to mine. This is Texas (I used to live there) and I know this can happen but it is hard to get past it. I doubt I will stay here again.
July 26, 2016
This hotel is in a new developing area, out of the busy, hustle and bustle. It's so new, it's very modern, and clean. My stay was made very nice and easy by the helpful staff at the hotel.
It's a very friendly atmosphere and I had a view to look out to. My room was so cozy and bright. The bathroom was ultra spacious as were the other areas of the room. It was resort-like instead of feeling like a hotel room.
I'll want to stay there when I visit again.
Fun in Frisco
July 20, 2016
Awesome stay!!! We had a beautiful room, and the location was near a lot of sites in Frisco. We enjoyed our stay!! :)
Kind and caring staff
July 17, 2016
Staybridge Plano Frisco staff were very kind and helpful. During our stay my father was not feeling well. The front desk staff helped us get him the help and medications he needed.
The suite was very spacious, clean and welcoming. I will definitely stay here the next time I visit the area.

Former Pakistani President Claims There Was Never Bin Laden Deal With U.S.Breaking News
Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf says he never struck an agreement with the United States to let American special forces kill or capture Usama bin Laden inside Pakistan.
Musharraf's spokesman Fawad Chaudhry said Tuesday that news reports claiming Musharraf and the administration of former U.S. President George W. Bush had such an understanding are baseless.
Chaudhry says no such agreement was signed during Musharraf's tenure and there wasn't a verbal understanding either. ...

flames around 9am on State Highway 1 at Dunsandel, near
Parkins Rd, 40km south of Christchurch.
Passers-by were able to free the driver, the sole occupant,
before the car was engulfed in flames. The man, aged in his
60s, was being transferred to Christchurch Hospital in a
critical condition but died on the way.
It is not known yet whether he suffered injuries in the crash
or has suffered a medical event.

1. Heat a pan with ghee. When the ghee melts, add jaggery and stir continuously to melt it. (If you are using the hard jaggery, you can shred it and add it)
2. Add cardamom powder (if using) and the sesame seeds. Lower the temperature of the heat, and stir quickly to mix the sesame seeds well into the jaggery.
3. Add the milk and let it cook for a little while. Stir occasionally.
4. Once done remove the mixture on to a bowl and let it cool. (Do not let it cool completely, as once it cools it will harden and you cannot make the laddus).
5. Smear a little ghee on your palm and take small portions of the mixture, while it is still warm and shape it into laddus and lay on a plate. Once it cools completely it will harden.
6. Serve as as a dessert or snack.

LOS ANGELES (April 7, 2013)--A Metrolink commuter train collided with a dump truck Saturday in Los Angeles, leaving 13 people with minor injuries.
Fire Department spokesman Shawn Lenske says nine of 190 passengers on the train were taken to the hospital Saturday for treatment.
The truck driver was treated at the scene.
The truck was on the tracks when the collision occurred around 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Pacoima in the San Fernando Valley, Metrolink spokesman Jeff Lustgarten said.
The impact of the crash caused the truck to overturn.
Lustgarten said the crash is under investigation.

I think we'll get a surprise late FEB when EDDIE announces there's no more shares left. 2012 they did 600MM EBITDA, have cash of $1B+ and authorization to repurchase $500MM+ shares. Outside of ed&berko, there exists 20MM shares outstanding. 10MMM already sold short which the company is buying and extinguising - there's none left period. on our way back to 100
Sentiment: Strong Buy
highly darn dubious, but Hey, why not dream!
if so, he could have (perhaps) bought 15% of today's 350,000 share float at 47 dollars,about 2.47 million dollars.
I think the better question is "why not?" It is his mo to continue the buybacks with excess cash. After the Sears Canada dividend, the Sears Hometown rights offer and a better retail experience, one would think the company's cash position would be good. We will see but along with you I am hoping to see that they have begun the buyback again when they report in late February.

I'm a Spanish software developer specialised on the front-end side. I've studied at University of Alcalá (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid), at Linköping Universitet (Linköping, Sweden) and at Fachhochschule Technikum Wien (Vienna, Austria). I've worked for my university in Spain and I was part of the board of the student union. I've lived in Madrid, London, Copenhagen, Linköping (Sweden) and in Vienna, and I really enjoy travelling.
