As the EPA budget continues to get squeezed by the ongoing sequester and a GOP-controlled House that is, shall we say, less than sympathetic to EPA's mission, it is not surprising that EPA would try to shift more of the enforcement burden to citizen groups. According to a report in Greenwire yesterday, that is precisely what EPA has in mind.
Greenwire quotes Cynthia Giles, EPA's enforcement czar as saying that "we have far too much noncompliance, widespread noncompliance in some of the largest sectors." Noting budget problems, Greenwire states that "EPA is looking for new ways to catch violations as they occur." These include such ideas as pollution sensors in cars, cell phones, and even clothes.
Fortunately, it is not only the big, bad polluters who have some reservations about data proliferation. Greenwire also quotes Bill Becker, of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies, as cautioning that "not all of [the new tools] are the same…. Many of them are malfunctioning."
On a more traditional note, EPA's blog today announced that an updated version of its enforcement data base, ECHO, is now up and running, at least in a beta version. I think many of us have had the experience of learning that EPA thinks that one of our clients has a compliance problem, not by being notified by EPA, but by seeing reference to noncompliance in ECHO.
In the short run, the ECHO upgrade is more significant than pollution-sniffing vests. ECHO is a real resource for citizen groups and any entity that interacts regularly with EPA should be checking ECHO periodically. I will say that the new site does appear easier to navigate than the old site.
In the long run, these two stories emphasize that Congress cannot prevent enforcement by starving EPA's budget. Absent statutory amendments restricting or eliminating citizen suits, doing so will just shift enforcement to citizen groups.
Be careful what you wish for.

UEFI Secure Boot and openSUSE
UEFI Secure Boot is a feature that is coming soon with new PCs. Traditional BIOS booting is getting replaced now with UEFI and now hardware vendors are going - following requirements from Windows 8 - to use UEFI for booting and enable UEFI Secure Boot. This cases a number of problems and challenges for Open Source users.
My colleagues Vojtech Pavlik and Olaf Kirch have been looking into what UEFI Secure Boot is, what their effect on SUSE and openSUSE is and they propose a solution to handle it.
They have written three blog posts explaing SUSE's approach to secure boot:
Matthew Garret from Red Hat is driving the Fedora implementation of Secure Boot and he blogged as well about the solution and called it "elegant" - and expects to use it for Fedora as well.
Thorsten Leemhuis has summarized this in a nice article at the H (German original at Heise).
The openSUSE community is now discussing whether we can use the SUSE proposal also for openSUSE and the first reactions seems that this is the way to go.
There's not much sense in summarizing the articles further, Thorsten did a great job, so read his article - or read the full three posts plus Matthew's comment for all the details.

People say he's their guardian, their lawyer, their smuggler. On a recent afternoon, they lined up at his feet with their requests:
Please, my mother needs a visa.
Please, my niece was caught by agents.
Please, I can't go on being illegal.
As a border crisis involving the influx of tens thousands of children from Central America unfolds, the faithful of Southern California are flocking to Santo Toribio Romo Gonzalez.
The Catholic saint, who they believe watches over immigrants, flew in for his first visit to Los Angeles last weekend. He came from a tiny town in the Mexican state of Jalisco in the form of a fragile wooden statue that will tour churches across three counties.
Santo Toribio relics: In the July 13 Section A, an article about Southern California immigrants flocking to see a statue containing relics of Santo Toribio Romo Gonzalez identified Ed Benioff as the Los Angeles Archdiocese's director of the Office of New Evangelization. Benioff is also a Catholic priest.
"It cost the price of two first-class tickets to get him here, but we did it," said Rosa Gonzalez of Chatsworth, who handled the saint's transportation. "Now here he is, bringing blessings to everyone."
Romo Gonzalez was a simple priest, killed during a religious uprising in 1928. He was canonized just 14 years ago. But Latinos, particularly Mexicans, have made him legendary.
They say the saint, often wearing a cowboy hat and boots, miraculously appears to border crossers when they are most desperate: in the desert, along roadsides and in migrant shelters.
Santo Toribio gives them food, money and water. And like a coyote, or smuggler, he helps them cross into the United States. Sometimes, when the path is too perilous, he tells them to turn around and return home.
"I owe him everything," said Jose Ochoa, who showed up to welcome the saint to his church, Santiago de Compostela in Lake Forest. "I couldn't imagine dying without coming to see him to say thank you."
The 32-year-old cook crossed the border illegally in 2005. He came with his son, then 4, to reunite with his wife and family. Before leaving Jalisco, Ochoa said, his grandfather gave him a small, laminated photo of Santo Toribio.
Ochoa had never heard of the saint, but his grandfather told him: "Have faith in him. He will take care of you."
On Thursday, the father of three lit a candle before the 4-foot-tall statue and bowed his head in gratitude.
Many immigrants who come to the United States illegally carry a photo of the light-skinned, blue-eyed saint safely tucked in their wallets. Before they leave Mexico, those who can stop in Santa Ana de Guadalupe, Santo Toribio's hometown.
There, farmworkers have seen their dusty pueblo transformed into a sacred site.
Tens of thousands of pilgrims arrive in air-conditioned buses each week to pay tribute to Santo Toribio's bones, which are kept in a small casket. Some travel back from Texas, California or Chicago to give thanks for favors fulfilled. Others enter the church on their knees to pray for the safe return of a loved one they haven't heard from for a while.
All around Santa Ana de Guadalupe, businesses bear the saint's name: Santo Toribio Ice Cream, Santo Toribio Pharmacy, Santo Toribio Gift Shop. There's a replica of his modest home, complete with furniture and housewares. In the street, locals pitch their saint-themed wares to tourists: key chains, figurines, T-shirts and pirated CDs.
"He's given many families in town a way to make a living and not have to go north," said Martin Rizo Soto, a priest who has traveled to California to safeguard the statue wherever it goes.
The number of visitors became so overwhelming that a few years ago the town raised enough money to build a church with seating for 1,000 people.
In the United States, Santo Toribio has come to represent solidarity to immigrants facing difficult times.
In 2008, when one of the nation's toughest anti-immigration laws was passed in Oklahoma, a Tulsa church responded by building a shrine to Santo Toribio — the only one outside Jalisco.
Since then, other churches have asked for his sacred bone relics, as well as visits from the saint. To meet the demand, Santa Ana de Guadalupe a year ago created a travel-friendly statue of Santo Toribio that rests inside a big steel trunk on wheels.
"Now he's able to come to see all the faithful who can't travel back to Jalisco to see him," Rizo Soto said.
Despite the saint's fame, the Catholic church has yet to recognize him as a patron to immigrants. His popularity tends to leave some Catholics scratching their heads, said Ed Benioff, the Los Angeles Archdiocese's director of the Office of New Evangelization.
Unlike St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, Romo Gonzalez, who died a martyr at age 28, never paid particular attention to immigrants.
In fact, in 1920 he wrote a play titled "Let's go north!" that warned migrants against traveling to the States. He worried that they would lose their values, Rizo Soto said.
But decades after Romo Gonzalez was shot to death by Mexican soldiers, the tales of his intervention on behalf of immigrants have spread across Jalisco and beyond.
"He's the people's saint," Benioff said. "His legend has grown from the start in the most grass-roots way."
Last week, Santo Toribio visited congregations in the City of Commerce and Lake Forest. Next on his agenda are Hawthorne, Indio, Rancho Cucamonga and Reseda. He will finish with a celebration at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown L.A. on July 20.
In the City of Commerce, parishioners from St. Marcellinus carried the 50-pound statue on their shoulders. They danced and sang. Then they took turns touching the most sacred part of the figure, his chest, where a bone from the saint's left ankle is kept behind a round piece of glass.
Quietly they stepped up to him to whisper their requests and express their gratitude.
Francisca Romero, 56, of Compton held up a gold chain with an angel to have it blessed. She said she became a legal citizen a decade ago.
Now, like many, she showed up concerned for relatives and friends — and for the latest immigration furor playing out in the news.
"Those children," said Romero, who works in a sofa factory. "I want this saint to keep them safe from all harm and to please help us all."

Helping couples and families with relationship issues, parenting, step and blended family issues. Also helping family going through loss, divorce, illness and coping with difficult and painful issues related to a child or other family member. Also help to strengthen family and couple communication with spouse, children, in-laws and other family members.
622 -624 Valley Road, Uppper Montclair, New Jersey 07043
During Family Therapy we deal with: patterns of communication (the way people in the family talk to each other); anger (how that sabotages the family); correcting dysfunctional patters, and negotiation (how to work out things so that everybody feels O.K. about the solutions). During family counseling families learn how to deal with crisis as well conflict management techniques. Also included are effective parenting skills for both children as well as teenagers. Therapy needs to have practical strategies and to be as short term as possible.

Family therapy is unique in comparison to individual therapy, as the focus is placed on the dynamics within the family and not on one individualized person. My family therapy approach is to understand the goals of each individual, as well a the family unit as a whole. The focus is traditionally placed on communication styles within the family, different alliances formed within the family and how the family is functioning together.
223 Bloomfield Street, suite 107, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030
Families are complicated. Each person in a family plays his or her own role, and the way each person behaves when the whole family is together is not necessarily the same as when they are apart. At the Lukin Center, we use emotionally focused therapy to help families understand the complex dynamics among all family members and to help each individual in the group feel heard, supported, and understood.
347 Lincoln Avenue East, Cranford, New Jersey 07016
I teach family members a skill called the Intentional Dialogue to help improve family communication. Often family members don't feel heard, that what they say matters, understood and that others know what they are feeling. The Intentional Dialogue allows each family member to share their 'side of the story' in a safe environment without fearing being judged or criticized. When this happens family members start to work as a team rather than be adversarial.
147 Columbia Turnpike, Suite 307, Florham Park, New Jersey 07932
Families are dynamic! Many times when a family comes to see me, I hear "We love each other, but we don't really like each other right now". With an advanced degree in family therapy, I work from a systemic perspective where we explore how individual family members are impacting each other and the family unit as a whole. Challenges can range from a specific problem to be solved, an unhealthy pattern that needs to be altered, or an issue (loss, affair, emotions, trauma) that needs to be processed. Through therapy, we find ways to build positive relationships and to reconnect – so all family members can start "liking" each other again.

The company is expanding its line of pneumatic lockout valves. The Standard LV Series now includes compact and high-flow versions. Lockouts are installed in pneumatic drop legs or individual pneumatic control lines and are used during maintenance of pneumatically operated equipment to help protect maintenance personnel by preventing a machine from engaging while it is being worked on.
The LV Series features port sizes from 3/8 to 1¼ in. and the compact version features ¼ and 3/8-in. sizes. The high-flow LV Series features 1½ and 2-in. port sizes and is suited for higher flow applications. All versions operate in 40 to 175°F (4.4 to 79.4°C). The compact version handles 15 to 145-psi inlet pressures, while both the standard and high-flow versions handle 15 to 300-psi inlet pressures. All versions are in-line or surface mountable.
The new EZ Series meets the same standards as the LV Series but with the added feature of a soft start when opened. Upon opening, an adjustable needle valve controls pressure buildup rate. The valves feature 3/8 to 1¼-in. port sizes and handle 30 to 150-psi inlet pressures.
The new LVSS Series consists of corrosion-resistant stainless-steel versions of the LV Series.
An important new option for all of the valves is a visual indicator that verifies energy isolation by popping-up when the valve is open and air is flowing.

Manawa: A Shaman's Journey to the Big Screen: Our Mission
Manawa: A Shaman's Journey ©: The Sarayaku Kichwa Indigenous Community (of the Ecuadoran Amazon Rainforest) and Henry S. Cole & Associates, Inc. have joined forces to produce a fictional movie–one that will portray the struggles of indigenous peoples to protect their their rainforest communities – from the ravages of oil, mining, agri-business and other threats. We plan to use Sarayaku community members the cast and crew needed to produce the film–with support from supportive professionals in the motion picture industry.
I am working with Eriberto Gualinga on the movie's screenplay which will incorporate the rich experience of the Sarayaku. Mr. Gualinga has a long record of producing and using documentaries as an effective tool in the in the Sarayaku resistance to big oil backed by the Ecuadoran government. His incredible film Children of the Jaguar won the Best Documentary award at the National Geographic All Roads Film Festival in 2012. Despite this victory (2011) and an apology from the government of Ecuador, the government announced in December a grant to a Chinese Oil company to exploit the oil reserves within the territories of the Sarayaku and several other indigenous peoples.
Contact: Hank Cole at U.S. 301 780 7990, firstname.lastname@example.com
We are indigenous women …. who learned in silence and pain to say: No Contamination, No illness, No Oil.
Clearly there is a story to tell! In 2002 a group of Sarayaku surrounded a battalion of government troops and managed to seize a number of semi-automatic rifles. Women played a prominent role in disarming the soldiers; they agreed to return the weapons but only to the commander, one weapon at a time, and only after each woman delivered the officer a tongue lashing. It was the Sarayaku women who led the community to adopt the "no oil, not a drop" position that it's held ever since. that the Sarayaku community
From the first conflict with oil in the 1990's to the present, the Sarayaku have come up with ingenious ways to protect their community and the "living forest." They have developed considerable expertise in using technology (internet, solar energy, and aviation) but without compromising their sacred harmony with nature . Children of the Jaguar depicts the Sarayaku's successful use of the Inter-American Court on Human Rights to challenge oil development on its territory.
My trip to the Sarayaku community. This past February, I spent several weeks with the Sarayaku and I was able to meet with many community members, go deep into the rainforest, experience fishing, farming, and family life and to collaborate with Eriberto. Our project and partnership received formal approval from the Sarayaku government council.
Defenders of the Rainforest. While there is general recognition that preservation of the rainforests (the lungs of the earth) is essential in efforts to curb runaway climate change, neither international treaties or reforestation efforts have prevented the rampant destruction of global forests for the extraction of resources. On the other hand, the evidence clearly demonstrates that indigenous peoples are the most effect defenders of rainforests and other ecosystems.
Guardians of Humanity: My experience was beyond anything I had imagined. I began to see that the Sarayaku (and many other indigenous peoples) have a great deal to teach we "the developed world," the we the "civilized." Here is a people that with a deep spiritual belief that all life is sacred. Their livelihood depends on a harmonious relationship with nature. If you want to see true democracy in action sit in on a session of the Sarayaku governing council, open to all voices. Here is a people with great love for family and community. The fully understand that "no man is an island." Children are taught at the earliest age to participate and contribute, to feel like they are part of something much bigger than themselves.
One of the principal goals of our movie is to give people a vision and hope that there is an alternative to the growing economic, social and environmental dysfunction of our times.
Why Fiction? There are many excellent documentaries on issues related to climate change, sustainability and the the threats to indigenous peoples. Our goal is to bring the film's messages to bring greater awareness to wider audiences using the elements of drama: suspense, intrigue, shamanism, vision quests, and romance.
The Sarayaku experience and lore provides a stunning set of circumstances for our story–the beauty and perils of the rainforest, anacondas and the jaguars, the battle of the shamans good and evil, passionate love (that may or may not happen), the oft-veiled but pre-eminent power of women, the mysterious beings of forest and river that demand respect for nature. And there is the courage of a people who battle the oil companies and their corrupt allies in government. Imagine a scene which re-enacts how the women (as pictured above) were able to confiscate the automatic rifles from government troops !
Gerardo Gualinga,steadfast father, hunter, and leader revers an enormous tree sacred to the Sarayaku.
Manawa's journey: The personal stories of Sarayaku leaders also provide the ingredients for the arc of main character. Manawa is the oldest son of the community's elderly shaman, Don Selvino. The shaman or "yachaq" (Kichwa), trains Manawa for to become a powerful shaman and leader in the battle to protect community. However, Manawa must overcome the temptations that all shamans-to-be must face, a life of lust and power offered by the evil shaman (brujo). But he must take up life in Quito in order to gain political and legal support required to fend off the pending onslaught. The capital city has its own temptations and rampant discrimination against "indios". What happens? Stay tuned.
Final note: Living with Sarayaku families gave me something else: An intangible feeling of well-being that comes from the human heart and draws from the roots of the forest, our own human roots.
News and The Trip to Sarayaku
Sarayaku Governing Council Gives Official Green Light to our movie project ! This just in from Eriberto Traya Muskuy Gualinga (Facebook): "Henry el consejo de gobierno esta acuerdo con la carta de intencion." (See this short video by Eriberto made one year ago, before I knew him. It is amazing how similar our visions, and the path that brought us together).
Mario Melo, the Sarayaku's attorney and Sarayaku official Franco Viteri in Washington, DC on April 4 to protest Ecuador's squelching of the right to assemble. Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on April 4. The Commission is an autonomous body of the Organization of American States ("OAS") whose mission is to promote & protect human rights in the American hemisphere is composed of seven independent members. I will be attending the hearing and meeting with the the two Sarayaku reps. (Stay tuned).
Quito and the trip to Sarayaku: I arrived in Quito late Monday night (Feb. 8) and was picked up by Yury Guerra (Altruvista's South American Director (now a great friend). We spent a couple of days in Quito for meetings with Mario Melo and Esperanza Martinez (Accion' Ecologica) to get background on the Ecuadoran government's oil deal with a Chinese company that would affect the Sarayaku territories and those of other indigenous peoples.
Quito, an amazing city about 9,000 feet high in an Andean valley; it's a very live city with a great deal of culture, music, and history. I stayed at the Cafe Cultura, whose walls are covered with beautiful imagery, as shown below. If you're looking for a comfy place with a an international clientele and friendly hosts (all speak English), is is the place to stay!
A later post will focus on the Guayasamin Museum & the works of Oswaldo Guayasamin, Ecuadoran artists (1919-1999). Much of art portrays the repression, enslavement, and genocide of people by repressive dictators in Latin America and other parts of the world.
More on Quito in later post, but before leaving I want to show you a bit of street show that I was lucky to see because it was Carnival. Click to see the movie. See if you can figure out what's really going on.
Some blow your mind geography:
Here is wide angle view of Quito, Ecuador "Diego Delso, Wikimedia Commons:, License CC-BY-SA 4. followed by a close up.
The Sarayaku territory is located about 60 km east of Puyo in the Pastaza province of Ecuador (see map). To get there from Quito Yury and I first took a five hour bus ride from this Andean city to the small city of Puyo located at the edge of the Amazon Rainforest. The change in topography, weather and vegetation is stunning. From plain to forest, from cool and dry to warm and humid.
Along the route I managed to get a photo of Mt. Cotopaxi. Yury Guerra tells me that a decade ago the ice and snow covered the mountain—undeniable evidence of climate change.
Blowup showing the steep drop in altitude from the Andes Mountains to the Amazon Basin, a change in topography matched by changes in climate, vegetation and living conditions.
We arrived in Puyo late on Thursday evening February 11 and checked in at a hotel. I was nervous because this was my first meeting with Eriberto Gualinga, whose award-winning documentaries on his people's resistance to oil development inspired my trip. His support for collaboration was make or break. Eriberto, his brother Gerardo and Yury and I sat down to dinner in a rustic outdoor café. With Yury as interpreter (Spanish/English), I explained my concept. Eriberto listened with a poker face. After about an hour and many questions, his face lit up. He said he had been thinking about a very similar idea for a movie that we should put our ideas together and share them with other Sarayaku leaders. I was ecstatic—especially after a few more rounds of cervezas. On to Sarayaku!
To get from Puyo to the Sarayaku community you can either go by motorized dugout, a 4-6 hour ride depending on current, or by air. It's a 25 minute ride possible only when it's not raining and the cloud ceiling is high enough on both ends of the trip. We were lucky. After a few hours Eriberto, Yury and I were able to board a 3-passenger single engine Cessna owned and operated by and for the Sarayaku.
The fact that the Sarayaku own and operate an aircraft company provides a lens into this remarkable people. Over the past few decades, the Sarayaku have selectively modernized, and have done so in order to survive. We talked with the manager of Sarayaku Aircraft who told us they started the company from scratch with the help of experts, much training and some hard to get loans. Now we see a first class aviation outfit with pilots, engineers, mechanics, et al.
Once in the air we were able to witness the final descent from the edge of the city, to a patchwork of forest and farms, a last line of cliffs, and then a continuous expanse of forest broken only by meandering rivers. Now the pilot begins the descent through the turbulent air. We catch a glimpse of thatch-covered buildings and the grass-covered runway. The plane hits grass with a jolt and taxies bouncingly toward a cluster of people—children, big and small, running, shouting, men and women with loads for the return flight. And there, standing in the grass with his white walking stick, is the 96 year-old Shaman Don Sabino. As we alit there is a joyful commotion. Everyone, especially the kids, knows and loves Yury. I shake a few hands, he gets a lot of hugs.
Stay tuned!
A Shaman's Journey: The Movie and the Quest/
Manawa: A Shaman's Journey: As many of you know, I've been working a fictional film for the past two years. The film, under development will portray the current struggles of indigenous peoples to protect their their rainforest communities – from the ravages of oil, mining, agri-business and other threats.
I spent much of February visiting the Sarayaku Kichwa indigenous people of southeastern Ecuador's Amazon Rainforest. The purpose of the trip was to learn and to explore the possibility of partnership with the Sarayaku community. The trip fulfilled both objectives far beyond expectation.
- This series of posts will describe what I saw, and the deep impact my experience with the Sarayaku had on me.
- Eriberto Gualinga, spent hours envisioning the movie and put together a summary and letter of intent describing the movie including the intent to maximize the men, woman and children in the acting and production of the movie.
Update: Last week (March 15), The Sarayaku government formally agreed to partner in the development and production of the movie.
Why a Big Screen Drama? There are many excellent documentaries on the topic; however, we believe that a "big screen" movie packed with action, suspense, passionate romance, the beauty and perils of the rainforest, the mystery of shamans (both good and evil), passion and romance, can greatly expand audiences and public awareness.
I chose to approach the Sarayaku for several compelling reasons. They have in-depth experience with film making and have been successful in using documentaries as an essential element in their decades long struggle to defend their ancestral territory from oil development. Eriberto Gualinga's Children of the Jaguar won the Best Documentary award at the National Geographic All Roads Film Festival in 2012.

Secondly, to defend their existence, the Sarayaku have modernized selectively, embracing technology, communications, political alliances, and the courts, though always in ways that preserve and enhance their culture and their sacred relationship with nature. Through their fierce determination, courage, and savvy, they have been successful. Yet their struggle continues. A few months ago, the government of Ecuador announced it had issued concessions to a Chinese oil company. (More to come).
The path forward: I feel fortunate and thankful that Eriberto Gualinga and many other leaders of the Sarayaku have embraced this movie project. Our preliminary thoughts:
- The movie will be filmed on location and most of the cast will be Sarayaku women, men and children.
- We will use the project to train members of the community in all aspects of film production, using outside experts as advisers.
- I will work with Eriberto Gualinga and others to revise the original screenplay to more closely fit the history and circumstances of the Sarayaku people.
- Mr. Gualinga will serve as principal director with coaching from an accomplished director with a record of human rights and environmental advocacy.
Development: In the next few months, I will be giving a series of presentations to environmental organizations, film boards and foundations to raise funding for the project. We will also plan to bring Eriberto Gualinga to the U.S. for a speaking tour to enhance these efforts. Moreover, we will use every step to foster media coverage to boost support for indigenous peoples and their rights.
Critical messages: There is broad understanding that preservation of the world's rainforests is necessary to curb runaway climate change and preserving the planet's biodiversity. The movie, however, will emphasize a less appreciated point: The best way to preserve rainforests is to protect the rights and territories of indigenous peoples, the guardians, who have lived in harmony with nature for thousands of years.
↑The Google Earth image shows deforested areas (light colored) in the developed area east of the Andean highlands. Further to the east, the the undisturbed rainforest is solid dark green; this area includes the Sarayaku territory.
Living with Sarayaku families gave me something else: An intangible feeling of well-being that comes from the human heart and draws from the roots of the forest, our own human roots that we "the civilized" must learn to nourish.
One of the objectives of the film is to contrast this compassionate respect with the uncaring greed, avarice and brutality imposed by profit-driven multinational corporations and complicit governments.

Chronology and acknowledgements: Many people have contributed in a various ways to this project. The idea for the movie first emerged more than two years ago during a film acting course at the New York Film Academy to celebrate my 70th birthday. I realized that my real passion was storytelling rather than acting. Michelle Best our acting prof gave our class a one-page, bare-bones dialogue. In it an elder tells a young man to avoid an a disastrous confrontation. I shaped the story: A yoga mat became a dugout canoe, the floor a river in the rainforest; the old man (me, a shaman), and my young classmate (his impetuous protege). After several takes, I found my inner shaman.
Weeks passed and I couldn't get the story out of my mind. Something was pushing me, perhaps an indigenous whisper from childhood? The lore of nature and mysticism? I wrote a 30-page "synopsis," for a full movie. I thank Michael Laibson , another NY Film Academy faculty member and past producer of some of TV's most celebrated soaps for his sage advice and continued encouragement.
I delved, read, went to conferences, talked to anthropologists, met with touring indigenous shamans and leaders and watched lots of documentaries. My conviction to tell a story, one with a message about the humanity, dignity and courage of indigenous peoples and their struggle to survive the onslaught of profit driven development.
The Shaman Speaks: In this photo taken at a 2014 conference in San Francisco, I meet with Davi Kopenawa, a Yanomami shaman from the Brazilian province of Amazonas, and an international leader in the struggle to preserve the rights and territories of indigenous people of the indigenous rights movement. Kopenawa, a true shaman of the "two worlds," is an important source of information and inspiration. See his book, The Falling Sky, which describes his personal history and the spiritual basis for the Yanomami relationship with community and nature.
The dismal art of screenplay: A screenplay is not like a book, where anything goes. If you don't follow every one of many exacting format rules, your masterpiece will wind up in a producer's overflowing wastebasket. So I took a course at the Washington Writers' Center where I met Monica Lee Bellais, screenwriter and producer, a "shaman of the scripts" who helped me to craft a solid screenplay. But….
Change of venue: The original script (finished last year) focused on indigenous peoples of Brazil whose territories and communities will be submerged by the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam project. However, a number of new friends including Natalie Kreidieh (photographer and film maker) and Branden Barber (Board of Directors Amazon Watch) suggested that I reach out to the Sarayaku Kichwa of Ecuador and its accomplished cinematographer/documentary producer Eriberto Gualinga. (The link includes a number of short videos that portray the Sarayaku, their culture, their forest home, and their music.)
Mr. Gualinga's Children of the Jaguar (online) portrays how the Sarayaku people stopped oil development through the Inter-American Human Rights Court of the Organization of American States (OAS). The movie won Best Documentary at the National Geographic All Roads Film Festival in 2012. This movie was instrumental in my decision to travel to Ecuador in order to learn and to see whether collaboration with the Sarayaku was possible.
The journey:
My trip to Ecuador last month (Feb. 2016) was arranged by Malia Everette, President of Altruvistas, and Yury Guerra, Altruvista's South America Program Director who served as my trip organizer, interpreter and companion, Yury, who opened both doors and hearts.
My visit with the Sarayaku Kichwa community was one of the most profound and moving experiences of my life. For this I give thanks to Don Sabino, the great shaman, his wife Dona Corina, to their daughter Patricia Gualinga and to their sons, Gerardo Gualinga and Dona Corina. From the Gualinga family and many others, I saw a people who live in harmony with nature, who work hard for their basic needs, and who do so with a sense of purpose, joy and a deeply felt desire to give back.
I feel that so many people are sharing this journey. I imagine hundreds of dugouts on the Bobonaza River. Family and friends, co-conspirators. Children going to school wave to us from the bank. Will it rain? Will we catch fish today? How deep is the water? Paths of mud and stone. The sacred tree's giant buttresses dwarfs the hunters. The smile of a woman. Feathery yellows, blues and reds. The scent of flowers.
Now the dance. Every two years the Sarayaku men go on a hunting expedition that lasts for several weeks. (Link to video). The tapirs, monkeys, pigs and fish taken are preserved with smoke and fire. The hunt finished, the men return in canoes; their faces painted, their heads adorned with brightly colored feathers. The women have prepared a great feast and when the men arrive with their bounties, the celebration begins and goes on for four days. Why every other year? So large a harvest each year would threaten the populations of game on which the Sarayaku depend.
Stay tuned: The next posts, with lots of photos, will detail my visit with my gracious hosts, the Sarayaku Kichwa Indigenous People of the Amazon Rainforest. And you'll learn more about the movie as the journey unfolds: Coming Posts. Stay tuned.

What are we celebrating? Most of us Euro types wouldn't be here if it weren't for the heroic journeys (4 of them) that brought him (with Spanish crews and ships) to the Americas. But for Americans already here before Columbus, there isn't much to celebrate. What can only be called genocide started early on as Columbus and the Spanish began to colonize indigenous peoples of Hispanola (now Haiti and the Dominican Republic) and other islands. Here are excerpts from the late (great) Howard Zinn's A Peoples History of the United States based on historical documents.
- "They found no gold fields, but had to fill up the ships returning to Spain with some kind of dividend. Columbus later wrote: 'Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity go on sending all the slaves that can be sold.' "
- "Trying to put together an army of resistance, the Arawaks faced Spaniards who had armor, muskets, swords, horses. When the Spaniards took prisoners they hanged them or burned them to death. Among the Arawaks, mass suicides began, with cassava poison. Infants were killed to save them from the Spaniards. In two years, through murder, mutilation, or suicide, half of the 250,000 Indians on Haiti were dead."
- The remaining Arawaks were…enslaved to work on plantations.. They were worked at a ferocious pace, and died by the thousands. By the year 1515, there were perhaps fifty thousand Indians left. By 1550, there were five hundred. A report of the year 1650 shows none of the original Arawaks or their descendants were left on the island."
Forward in Time: In the U.S. colonists and settlers backed by government troops carried out ruthless repression resulting in the displacement and deaths of millions of Native Americans. We needn't look very hard to find genocide in our own history.
But what about now? The evidence indicates that multi-national corporations–with the backing or and complicity from governments–are trampling indigenous people, their rights and their territories in develop mines, plantations, logging operations, oil and gas, and hydroelectric power for profit–maybe not in the name of "the Holy Trinity" but certainly in the name of economic growth. This is happening all over the world, and especially in the Amazon rain forests of South America.
Videos tell the story: To get an idea of the struggles of indigenous peoples in the Amazon region, we invite you to take a look these videos.
The Awa of Brazil: Survival International's successful International's efforts to save "The Earth's Most Threatened Tribe" from illegal logging.
Indigenous peoples stake on Big Oil. See video from Amazon Watch.
Chevron and its Secret Videos: A whistle blower provided NGOs with a videos that Chevron's reps took in Ecuador. There mission was to find evidence showing the place was clean and safe. They didn't have much luck, hence the kept them in the closet. See it here. In one sequence a poor farmer says that his children were exposed to oil and died.
Good News on the Legal Front (Bad for Chevron). The Supreme Court of Canada ruled unanimously that 30,000 poor Ecuadoran farmers can sue Chevron on trial in Toronto, in an effort to seize $9.5 billion from its Canadian subsidiary for damages from the pollution the company's drilling caused in vast stretches of their territory. See news story here.

You will find a wealth of information and additional videos. Then take two steps: Sign critical petitions and donate. Let's not allow history to repeat.

I must confess I've not seen Eli Roth's The Green Inferno (see Delete this Racist Movie). Just the trailers. Frankly I don't think I could stomach watching it. It's not just the gore but the total dissing of indigenous people as savage cannibals. Fortunately, Andrew Miller the director of Amazon Watch's Washington DC office, sat through the entire film. And he didn't even get get hazard. Hats off to Andrew. You can see his critique here.

When the Rockstar actor met sports star Lionel Andres Messi, the two chatted endlessly on football and films
There is a downside to being a film star. Every move is scrutinised by the media and you are an easy target for gossip. But then there are lots of perks to stardom, and one of it is having quick access to most things. Recently Argentinian footballer Lionel Andrés Messi was in India, to play a match in Kolkata. And the sports star sent out a special invite to our very own Rockstar, Ranbir Kapoor, to come meet him. Unfortunatel,y the actor was filming for Anurag Basu's Barfee so he could not make the date. A source close to the actor confirms that "Ranbir did receive a special invite to meet Messi, which was a dream come true. He would have loved to watch the match in Kolkata; however, given his prior commitments, he couldn't make it. His shoot schedule for Barfee was pushed back thanks to the rains and hence he could not be present for the match." But Ranbir was fortunate enough to meet the football legend at Barcelona not too long after that. About that encounter, the source reveals, "Messi personally autographed Ranbir's cap and they spoke at length about their respective fields. Messi also taught Ranbir a couple of tricks of the game, which he immediately mastered, given his love for football." And that was it. The Bollywood superstar's day was made. See, sometimes our stars also get star-struck!

Politics have long had a place in music, but sometimes things get a little cheesy. Following Bruce Springsteen's new campaign song last week, Stevie Wonder is now the latest artist to release a musical endorsement of Barack Obama.
In "Keep Moving Forward," the soul legend pays tribute to the POTUS who previously named him one of his personal "musical heroes." Somehow, though, lyrics like "Detroit was saved and so were the Banks" doesn't have such a great ring to it. Still, it's a ringing endorsement from one of the greatest living singer/songwriters and that's got to be worth something. Check it out down below. [HollywoodReporter]

Exploring the Art of Paper with the Achenbach Graphic Arts Council

This post was submitted by Ann Dawson, Achenbach Graphic Arts Council Travel Chair
Before I joined the Fine Arts Museums seven years ago as an editor, I did not know such a job existed in the museum world. It is not a role that merits much attention—in fact, the more invisible the editor's hand, the better. But if you look around at the museums, you will understand how important an editor is. From humble signage directing your way to hefty exhibition catalogues, a huge range of text in a variety of forms is issued by the Museums, all reviewed by a team of three editors in the publications department.
For the past two weeks, the world watched athletes from the world over compete and triumph in the 2012 Olympic Games. Meanwhile, museums the world over competed on Twitter in the tongue-in cheek competition #MuseumOlympics, which originated right here in San Francisco. Willa Köerner, digital engagement associate at SFMOMA and today's g uest blogger, takes us behind the scenes of #MuseumOlympics and reveals the origins of what will surely become a new quadrennial tradition.

Ray Wert is the Editor-in-Chief of Gawker owned automotive website Jalopnik.
This brand-spankin'-new yellow New York taxi-ready Ford Crown Victoria fleet I stumbled across yesterday, springing up like a patch of daisies through the cracks of the concrete urban jungle of Hoboken, New Jersey, is both poignant and beautiful.
It's poignant because, after 20 years of production, the Ford Crown Victoria will finally shuffle off this mortal coil at the end of the 2012 model year. Although a replacement for New York's fleet of yellow-painted people haulers has already been found, it's received less-than-stellar reviews from the punditocracy — myself included.
But the negative reviews aren't just coming from the automotive "intelligentsia" — they're coming from the very taxi fleets that will be buying and using the new taxis. These fleet companies love the Ford Crown Vic because they're essentially bulletproof, able to take a beating like no other car currently on the market.
Like Charlton Heston and his handguns, the only way you'll be prying Ford Crown Vics from fleet owners' hands is when the last four-door's engine block dies. And it looks like Ford of Manhattan may be stockpiling a plethora of Panther-platformed Ford sedans to dole out to fleets in an attempt to make sure that that day will be a long time coming.
But that's just speculation on my part. Still, it seems the most likely reason these sedans are sitting in a hidden-from-view lot in Hoboken.
Even Ford's sale numbers would seemingly back that up. Year-on-year sales of the Crown Victoria through May are up 61.6% — from 15,413 vehicles sold to 24,910. It sure ain't because it's a new model year. It's obvious fleets — and dealerships — are stockpiling these dinosaurs of the auto world.
I've asked Ford for a comment and to confirm my suspicions — and also to tell us whether these Crown Vics already have a home. Because if they don't, I can find a lot worse ways to spend $31,000. And yes, according to the Monroney sticker, that's the going price.
But that's cheap to own a piece of history today. But even if it weren't, it wouldn't matter, because I love this platform — whether it be Lincoln, Mercury or Ford-flavored. That's because there's much to be said for a car that does exactly what it's supposed to do — no more, no less. And the Ford Crown Vic has done that.
In my mind, that's beauty.

This paper explores how FATCA's requirements may impact the relationship between companies and their service providers.
FATCA: A perspective on service providers
PwC Partners, Jeff Trent and Tim Mueller, discuss how FATCA's requirements impact the relationship between companies and their service providers.
Service providers need to be aware of FATCA requirements and understand the relationship to the services they offer to their clients. Changes to services offered, contract terms, liability provisions and/or internal controls reporting requirements are all possible effects of the FATCA regulation. Service providers must be knowledgeable about the challenges their clients are facing associated with FATCA and be prepared to respond to their clients' changing needs as a result of the regulation.

BEIRUT -- Internet service went down across Syria Thursday and international flights were canceled at the Damascus airport when a road near the facility was closed by heavy fighting.
Activists said President Bashar Assad's regime pulled the plug on the Internet, perhaps in preparation for a major offensive. Cellphone service also went out in Damascus and parts of central Syria, they said. The government blamed rebel fighters for the outages.
With pressure building against the regime and government forces on their heels in the northern commercial hub of Aleppo, rebels have recently begun pushing back into Damascus after largely being driven out of the capital following a July offensive. One Damascus resident reported seeing rebel forces near a suburb of the city previously deemed to be safe from fighting.
The Internet outage, confirmed by two U.S.-based companies that monitor online connectivity, is unprecedented in Syria's 20-month-old uprising against Assad, which activists say has killed more than 40,000 people.
Regime forces suffered a string of defeats in recent weeks, losing air bases and other strategic facilities. The government may be trying to blunt new rebel offensives by hampering communications.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland condemned what she called the regime's "assault" on Syrians' ability to communicate with each other and express themselves. She said the move spoke to a desperate attempt by Assad to cling to power.
Thursday's violence appeared to be focused on southern suburbs near the Damascus international airport, forcing the military to shut the road to the facility. The fighting prompted both Emirates airline and EgyptAir to cancel flights to Damascus.
At the United Nations, the secretary-general's office said at least four soldiers assigned to the U.N. Disengagement Observer Force in the Golan Heights were injured in the crossfire on the airport road.

Mo Williams will re-sign as a free agent with the Utah Jazz only if he remains the starting point guard next season, a source told Yahoo! Sports on Friday.
The demand comes a day after the Jazz traded up in the draft to get University of Michigan star Trey Burke, who was selected ninth on Thursday night.
"He's not going to come back as a backup," the source said of Williams.
As for Burke, he told reporters Thursday, "My goal is to come in and start right away. I look forward to coming in and helping the team win."
Williams, a 10-year NBA veteran, averaged 12.9 points and 6.2 assists during his injury-plagued 2012-13 season in which he played 46 games.

Will Popcaan survive 2012 and not Self-Destruct?
With the release of his Mix Tape "YiY Change"; his recent stint in Trinidad & Tobago from which had rumours swirling that the "Raving King" Popcaan had booking mishaps that led to promoters there hunting the Dj to cause him harm. Also being awarded Young, Hot & Hype Artist of 2011 & Song of the Year at 5th staging of the Youth View Awards, many concerns have been raised.
Now an air of uncertainty looms over Popcaan's future and his ability to not only continue delivering hits but maintaining effective & efficient management which will ensure that he fully exploit the financial opportunities that exist while the rave spreads locally and internationally.When Vybz Kartel wasn't incarcerated the DJ's career was under tight keen management. Every moved was strategized and well calculated as the Gaza structure was fully intact and its machinery operational to ensure its members gets the best results.
Now four months later, the Gaza seems to be at it knees of Jamaican Authorities. Charges laid, Arrests made, Bail Denied and a seemed tactical thrust by the authorities to cripple the Gaza elements and its leader Vybz Kartel.
Now Popcaan is successor to the Vybz Kartel led Gaza Empire and he has been the only one yet to not have been either question or deemed a "Man of Interest" by Jamaican Authorities. (Thank God – Not counting ma chickens before the egg hatches though).
So with a crippled empire and an artist from it #1 locally and across several hemisphere being left to functioned with no business skills, management or experience and all former advisors/employees of the camp have disappeared or been charged or under police scrutiny. What will happen?
We've seen where the interim Booking Agent / Manager that stepped in when Vybz Kartel was arrested, seems to no longer be working the him (I wonder why?).
Now Promoters crying fowl with bookings and he can't travel to certain major paying markets (sounds familiar-Vybz Medicine).
And he seems to live in a paranoid shell mentality. Which will not work for him as it did for Vybz Kartel.
Also an ongoing police investigation into "The Gaza" which may reveal interesting details in months to come. (Not speaking from ma goat mouth)
The artist seems to have no management, no experienced or honest dedicated bookie or good PR Team. (What will happen?)
So what!? Will the Popcaan pop throughout the year? Or will Popcaan just self-destruct or die in his own toxic?
By Early Summer the artist hype and career may either die or seem to exist if his Mentor remains behind bar and if he don't implement the necessary corrective measure.
The future isn't written in Stone Poppy but "Thou art weighed in the balance and art found wanting."

To be honest I cant say. I'm not much of a follower of his career so i couldn't assess his survival. But i hope he breaks through though fa his sake so that he can prove to the critics that he can have a successful career without living in the shadows of Kartel… Are better yet survive completely with out the "gaza ventriloquist"
Nah happe nun at all #GAZA wi name nuh mek nuh priest run wi out ! #GAZATuhDiWorl'
I think he should branch out, by working with other artist you know, don't isolate himself.. He has talent, and its his life, yes kartel is a big influenece on his career, and I'm a Gaza fan, but ah music we seh… Dweet poppi dweet..
this is one 100 percent truu
but i so hope he keeps it up!!!

Subject: | Airi |
Author: | Julia (guest, 18.104.22.168) |
Date: | February 16, 2006 at 8:03:13 PM |
I met a girl named Airi the other day. It's feminine, and European of some sort. I heard her talking with her mother in a different language that I couldn't recognize for the life of me. Maybe something Scandinavian (sp?)? I don't think it was Swedish, but I could be wrong.She said it ah-EER-ee, with a very rolled R and a little bit of an accent.
Any info? I'm curious! Thanks a lot.

Marley, Bob (Robert Nesta Marley), 1945–81, Jamaican reggae singer, songwriter, and guitarist. As a member of the Wailers, a reggae band that included Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh, and later on his own, Marley propelled reggae to worldwide popularity. His commitment to nonviolence and the Rastafarian religion are transparent in his music, and his smoky tenor and loping reggae beat combine to enhance the appeal of his political message.

Since when?
new page
Since when?
new page
Load had some awesome songs, but I really didn't like ReLoad. Too much like the stuff I hated from Load.
St. Anger...well the only song I like from that is The Unnamed Feeling, the rest I fucking despise.
And Metallica is one of my favorite bands ever, so for me to despise something they have done is saying alot.
I can't say there's a song I don't like.
I sort of liked St. Anger.
i have to be in the right mood to enjoy st anger (apart from unnamed feeling, that song is p.cool)
i dunno what mood that is, though
also my favourite metallica song at the moment is shortest straw
the riff at the beginning + in the chorus is one of my favourite riffs ever
none of the tabs i can find are right though. i found one that sounds very similar but i dont think thats how kirk plays it
It's okay, not great but neither is death magnetic.
The Shortest Straw is so fucking fun to play on guitar.
It's really easy to get the rhythm down but it just sounds so cool. I really loved Justice, it was such an amazing album. Still one of my favorites of all time.
I think the Unnamed feeling is one of the songs that most people like from St.Anger.
Like I said in the last thread though, i converted like 8 people to St.Anger. Just sit in you room, put the album on, and listen, all the way through. It's fucking awesome. I did this recently with SOAD's Toxicity album, because my friend wanted to, and it really is awesome.
I plan on doing Master all the way through again soon.
it is at that
with my limited guitar skill, some parts are hard, but i can just play it forever because it's really fun to play
justice is probably my favourite metallica album
"Metallica live at the Orfeo Superdomo in Cordoba, Argentina January 24, 2010
Creeping Death
No Remorse
Holier Than Thou
Of Wolf and Man
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
That Was Just Your Life
The End Of The Line
Sad But True
My Apocalypse
Master Of Puppets
Damage, Inc.
Nothing Else Matters
Enter Sandman
Hit The Lights
Seek and Destroy "
To say i'm pissed at such an awesome setlist is an understatement.
You should have highlighted seek and destroy and one.
Yeah, Seek and Destroy's a pretty awesome song.
But they always play Seek and Destroy at the end it's not special :v
Hit the Lights. :3:
dear metallica
come to Oregon, USA
or I will be sad
Master is the best Album IMO. Ride the Lightning, Kill 'Em All and And Justice for All are also pretty good.
Dear Metallica,
Go everwhere.
dear metallica
come to the uk again i missed last years tour
Did they do a tour? Or just Sonisphere?
Dear Metallica.
Please come to Scotland.
Dear Metallica.
Come back to Finland.
I miss you guys
Dear Metallica
Do a world tour covering every place you can perform the world misses you
Dear Metallica,
I've already seen you guys so do whatever the fuck you want
...But it would be neat if you went everywhere to satisfy internet strangers
Love, Tazers
Dear Metallica,
browse facepunch
Dear Metallica,
How are you guys? I hope you're happy.
they played a few places in the uk last year
i know they played at the MEN in manchester because 2 of my mates went
Yeah they toured the UK at the start of last year. One of my friends had a spare ticket I could've bought, oh how I wish I bought it. They're only doing Ireland this year though I think which sucks.
They played quite a few shows in England and then did Sonisphere in Knebworth aswell. I went to 3 shows i think.
Also, about the setlist, One and Seek, along with Master, NEM and the DM stuff are in every setlist basically, so i just highlighted the ones that i'd like them to play, and they played a fucking awesome set in one night!
I'd do anything to be able to jam with them.
Are you sure about that?
I agree so fucking much!
3:07 awesome bass riff.
Back on track guys.

Civic Ritual in Renaissance Venice |
Venice's reputation for political stability and a strong, balanced republican government holds a prominent place in European political theory. Edward Muir traces the origins and development of this reputation, paying particular attention to the sixteenth century, when civic ritual in Venice reached its peak. He shows how the ritualization of society and politics was an important reason for Venice's stability. Influenced in part by cultural anthropology, he establishes and applies to Venice a new methodology for the historical study of civic ritual. Subject Area: | |||||||

Are the radar jammers also banned? As they are in this country.[/QUOTE]
Oh Yes !! same as the UK law, Ok to sell them but Illegal to use them

The solution to this is dead easy.
Rename "Radar" into "Danger Zone" and you are legal. Dixit Tomtom.

How can you turn this feature off once you included the locations in your TomTom?
Is a completely new download perhaps the only option once you go into France?
I totally agree this is plain stupid,i never drink nor smoke,what if police stops me 10 times a month?after every stop i would have to buy another tester,otherwise i get the ticket...Plus the fake testers would surface,identical to legit ones,but u'll always pass the test
No. The alcohol breathalyser test is for your use, after leaving the pub/cafe you test yourselves if over the limit you call a taxi or walk,
If stopped by the police they use there one issued by the police force, You might like to know, you can't use your breathalyser test as proof at the road side or in court.
It's all to do with timing, your last drink and using the test (20 mins) and the test could have been taken before and alcohol, and the last accuracy the public type breathalyser tests are not spot on.
so there's a chance you may be over the limit if close to it on your test.
I don't believe in DD, but this is mad way to try and stamp it out. But it is bad here in France,
It not so much a young lad thing as an everyone thing and is Socially excepted here.
So something must be done, Just not this !
The law is now dumped by the new government, the people who made this law in the previous government owns the only allowed alcohol breathalyser factory...
To say the Law is now dumped is misleading people thinking it's all finished with,
when the fact is that it's under review and will probably be changed in the future at some point but knowing how slow the French politicians and law courts move
it won't be anytime soon, so as it is the Law still stands that you must have 2 X alcohol breathalysers in the vehicle, or you will get an on the spot fine of 11 euros
each time you are stopped (Bon chance)
I drive around 15k a year and haven't been stop and asked to show them yet (that's going to come back and haunt me)
Here is a snippit from a website:
(ADW) The controversial French law surrounding obligatory alcohol breathalyser kits in cars is already due to be scrapped.
That is according to reports on respected French radio station Europe 1 who state that Interior Manuel Valls is due to make the announcement soon.
It has theoretically been obligatory for all vehicles within French territory to be equipped with either a digital or chemical breathalyser test kit since July 1 2012.
March 1, 2013 was set as the date when motorists could be penalised for not carrying kits onboard.
However, according to Europe 1, the current French government has no desire to enforce this law,
which was brought in under the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy. While Manuel Valls questioned the effectiveness of the approved kits,
it could be the results of a report into their use that becomes the deciding factor whether or not to scrap or maintain the law.
To add fuel to the fire, some scientists have even brought the breathalyser kits into question stating that if they are not used correctly, they may actually be a health hazard.
I still have mine, but now there is a picture of a shovel not camera, and the label is now Archaelogical site.
Is this in effect even with a mobile app like Trapster?
relax guy ,
police / cops cant get you for this :
they have no right to take your phone / gps for look inside ;
if they come to you , before stop car , turn off gps / phone ....
they have to got "commision rogatoire" ( gived only by judge )
for look inside your computer / phone / gps ...

The Big Lift
- Chris B.
- 8/20/11
Montgomery Clift and Paul Douglas star in this re-enactment of the Berlin Airlift which supplied food and the many necessary items to the people of Berlin, Germany. It's a simple story of enlisted men and the German girls they fall in love with after the war while they are doing their duty as airmen in The Big Lift. The most spectacular part of this film is the cinematography. I was born in Berlin in 1946 and also know the Frankfurt am Main region. Filmed in 1950, these are actual photographs of what Berlin looked like at the conclusion of World War II and for many years thereafter. In Clift's performance you see the heart of America and in Douglas' performance you see the prejudice that still prevailed. Well worth watching.
Outstanding reality
