The "Back to the Future" trilogy's director Robert Zemeckis, star Christopher Lloyd and screenwriter Bob Gale agree they don't mind a return visit to the past but only to celebrate this year's 25th Anniversary of the beloved franchise's debut. Otherwise, they say there just aren't enough gigawatts to get them to jumpstart a third sequel.
"I think three is a good number to end on," Zemeckis, who's long resisted reviving the franchise, told ComingSoon.net. "Three is enough."
"The story is closed," confirmed Gale. "When Michael J. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's we said 'Come on. Who wants to see a Back to the Future movie if Michael J. Fox isn't it?' I don't. He didn't. Nobody does."
"There's always talk, you know, but we'll see," said Lloyd, who still revels in the on-screen chemistry he shared with Fox. "It was just there. Like any wonderful relationship, it just existed. We didn't have to work for it or worry about it. It was inherent, you know? And just great casting."
The team is content to celebrate by looking backward, not forward. "We're going to go to New York to do the kick-off on the 26th of October for the big Blu-ray trilogy release," said Zemeckis. That specific date falls exactly 25 years after the day Marty McFly departs 1985 Doc Brown's time-traveling DeLorean in the first film, and Gale has plans for more film-inspired occasions.
"In Los Angeles from November 5th to November 12th there are a group of events called WereGoingBack.com, put together by a whole bunch of 'Back to the Future' fans," said the screenwriter, noting those dates correspond to Marty's weeklong stay in 1955. "They're going to go to a bunch of different filming locations and a lot of the people that worked on the movie in various capacities are going to be at some of these different events."
Zemeckis who went on the helm further classics including Forrest Gump and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (also co-starring Lloyd) said he's thrilled with the enduring popularity of the "Back to the Future" films. "I feel proud. I mean, who would've ever thought it? It's great!"
"The whole series was so full of kind of an optimism and excitement for life, for adventure, and discovery," said Lloyd. "All things that I admire in people. And the opportunity to bring all of that to life was a wonderful experience. For people who still love to go to the movie, more generations will see it after 25 years it's an extraordinary, extraordinary experience."
Gale admits he's surprised how long the series has resonated with audiences. "It still delights new generations, all the way to the kids that live around the corner from me who want to come over and see my hoverboard and all my props."
As for their own future, Zemeckis is at work on a 3D remake of Yellow Submarine. "It's a blast," he says. "I'm reliving my time with The Beatles." He's enjoying working on a project specifically designed for the optical experience. "The 3D is great. Everything can't be 3D. Everything shouldn't be 3D, but if it's done well and it serves the story it's a new way to experience cinema."
Meanwhile, Gale's wrapping a popular stint writing comic book story arcs for "Amazing Spider-Man." "My last 'Spider-Man' story comes out later this month, "Amazing Spider-Man #647," he says. "But then they've changed the way that Spider-Man is going to work after that. So my services are, for the time being, no longer required. Instead of it coming out three times a month they're going to two times a month with just one writer. I think the three times a month thing made editor Steve Wacker insane because it really was crazy, to balance the different writers and the different artists, the schedule, having stuff written out of continuity and making it fit into continuity. So Dan Slott has just taken over the title himself [as writer]. He's the perfect choice, absolutely, and I know he'll do a great job."

When ideas turn into businesses
We have an unusual approach to invest in tech projects and startups.
Our experienced team of engineers, product designers, and the close relationship we have through our labs with companies and entities from several sectors (from Retail to Telecom, Energy to Healthcare, Government to Fintech,…), create substantial synergies.
That allows us to mitigate two of the most dangerous risks with any early stage venture: building the right product and finding the first customers.
We are always interested in projects that make good use of emerging technologies.
Talent, Ideas, MVP's & Startups
We do not have ordinary incubation nor acceleration programs. We believe that they are actually great in helping out startups that are jumpstarting their projects. That is why we support several of the best programs that happen every year in Portugal and abroad.
Nevertheless, we like to focus our work on one-to-one relationships with a few teams at each time. So, we can invest in projects or startups that are in early stage of development.
Our unique approach allows us to support projects, entrepreneurs and startups, having in mind several different sources of opportunities:
- ideas that are born through our Labs,
- ideas that great and smart people have and that we help to build from scratch
- ideas that are starting to be developed by startups that need our help
We are always interested in projects that make good use of emerging technologies.
We are also privileging projects that might have more relevance to verticals and areas where our interest is higher due to the strategic partnerships we have in place.
Whenever we think there's an opportunity on the table, we try to partner with a good team of promoters with the know-how and the drive to turn an idea into an MVP that can then become a startup, if all goes well :)
We fund the MVP, helping during the process with the resources that need to make it happen.
It's a tailor-made approach where for each project we agree on what is needed to guarantee that the project has what it takes to succeed. We can provide a set of services and resources - tech support, designers, legal support, several IT tools, infrastructure, access to industry partners, office space, you name it.
Then, if the MVP proves to be successful - namely, if it has customers interested in it and other investors willing to back it - we, at BRPX, will help transform the project into an actual startup and boost the team to conquer the world, together with the help of other co-investors, launching, in the process, a robust, less risky, validated product into the market.

An accident of genes
Staying close to the talent ecosystem and supporting or organizing selected events is key to experiment, showcase and learn from emerging technologies including those that aren't directly related to our core areas. Events are primordial to spark Bright Pixel's questioning culture, foster new ways of thinking and innovate, and ultimately attract the best to join our project.

We thrive to give our participants an unforgettable experience. Content and projects are exciting, but fun activities at Pixels Camp are an important part of the show. Nerdy ones, of course.
Pixels Camp, is a yearly technology cult event spanning over three days of non-stop technical talks, workshops and coding.

Agent Bayes is an algorithm that replicates the process of automated classification (sometimes called 'predictive analytics') used for processing open source intelligence (OSINT) in Next Generation Information Access (NGIA) systems. NGIA systems automate the collection and analysis of data and produce reports. OSINT is intelligence collected from publicly available sources and may account for as much as 80% of the intelligence database. Agent Bayes evaluates Twitter posts and labels them as either suspicious or not suspicious in regards to national security threats. CSIA agents, or visitors to the site, can compare the algorithm's decision to the original tweet and it's associated metadata, and are invited to agree or disagree with the algorithm's decision. This feedback will be integrated into the algorithm to improve its accuracy. Agent Bayes is named after the Bayes theorem, the most common formula used by intelligence agencies for establishing the probability of an event.
Supervised machine learning procedure for Agent Bayes
Agent Bayes uses a supervised machine learning classifying algorithm that is modeled after the data collection processes described in technical reports and documents that have been leaked or released through Freedom of Information Act requests. Creating Agent Bayes began by manually assembling a corpus of social media posts that were labeled either suspicious or not suspicious. Ambiguous posts were discarded. Next, the posts were broken down into their 'feature vectors', or individual measurable property. In this case, the feature vectors are the individual words that make up the posts. Stop words, or commonly used words such as 'and', 'the', and 'is', were removed. The feature vectors are then processed using Bayes' theorem to find patterns of speech that occur the most frequently within each category—suspicious and not suspicious. The patterns form models against which new social media posts can be compared. The algorithm then labels the new posts based on their statistical similarity to the models. Visitors to the site can agree or disagree with Agent Bayes' predictions and their feedback will be integrated into the classifier to improve its performance.
Participant reviewing social media posts at Science Gallery Dublin.
The Crowd-Sourced Classifier is a supervised machine learning classifer trained on Twitter posts that were manually labeled at Science Gallery Dublin during the SECRET exhibition. From August 8 until November 1, 2015, a CSIA terminal was available for visitors to evaluate Twitter posts. The Crowd-Sourced Classifer is made from the over 14,000 posts that were labeled during that time. The decisions of the Crowd-Sourced Classifier reflect the aggregated decisions made by visitors to the exhibition.

These Candy Crush level 48 cheats and tips to show you how to beat level 48 of Candy Crush. The goal of level 48 is to clear all 21 jelly and score 70,000 points in 35 moves.
Level 48 Cheat #1: Focus on the center.
- It may be tempting to clear candies wherever you see them, but for this level, always focus on the center first.
- If you have multiple options for clearing candies near the center, always start at the top, since clearing the lower candies may ruin any good matches you could make higher up.
Level 48 Cheat #2: Get striped candies in line with the center.
- Match 4 or 5 candies in a row whenever you can–they will help you clear more candies when you line them up with the center.
- special candies closer to the top or center are the most useful. A striped candy in the lower left corner won't do much good, but it can be useful if you have little else to do.
Level 48 Cheat #3: When in doubt, start from the bottom .
- If you can't do much that affects the very center of the board, try clearing candies at the bottom.
- Clearing candies at the bottom can make new combinations in the middle that can help you clear licorice x's or jelly.

It usually takes about a month to get into your system. Most times with antidepressants it's normal to feel worse before feeling better. If you can try to hang on for a little longer. If not call your doctor. Tell him what you've said here about how you feel. I hope you feel better. Pepper
Peterkon; Just what Pepper said but it is a good Idea to pick the time your going to take it and stick with it about the same time each day.Many times when we start these medications the anxiety and such gets worse before it get better for the first 7 to 10 days or so, Then you may start to feel a bit better but you need to continue to take it if you can until around 4 to 6 weeks to get the full benefits of the medication. You could also check with the doctor maybe he or she can give you something to get through the side effects from the start. Have a good day
Peter. I have been on Zoloft for 14 years now. However I can tell you the first 2 weeks were not good. So my Dr. Prescribed Xanax for me along with the Zoloft. It helped a lot. But it took a good month to kick in. See how you feel at the end of the month or so. But you may need a mild sensitive to help.
I recently started zoloft 50mg myself and am having side effects. From everything I've researched and learned from the community on here is that zoloft may take 4-6weeks until any relief at all is felt. Do you have a anti anxiety med you can take while you're waiting it out? I take Xanax to help combat the anxiety. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you for your answer. I checked myself into the ER one day. I was given xanax there. I have only had it once. I going to try yo handle the side effects without help. Have a wonderful day
I actually am feeling much better lately, the zoloft must be working. When i was given the xanax at the hospital i felt drugged. My problem lies now in the fact that i take to zoloft at 9 in the morning i wake up everyday at 5 so for a couple hours i feel not the best. Also sometimes at night i have bad thoughts. It wakes me up. Most days when i wake up i feel good except for the fact my Left arm shakes.(thats a story for another day and the reason for my anxiety). After i take the zoloft though i feel much better,. I take a herbal anxiety supplement at night called PAS anxiety and panic relief it seems to help too.

DEUTZ is always ahead of the curve, engineering products that will make an impact in the future.
Design of the TCD 2.2 L3 is no exception, as DEUTZ builds on the success of its proven TCD 2.9 four cylinder engine, and expands its offering in the lower output range.
The TCD 2.2 will be particularly suitable for applications in materials handling, as well as in compact construction equipment.
The engine will be available in both a diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) variant – a genuine first within the DEUTZ otherwise diesel –only product range.
The TCD 5.0 is designed as a particularly compact engine, conforming to the DEUTZ downsize principal – more power production, from an engine with smaller cubic capacity.
Design of the TCD 5.0 features minimum pipework, fewer components, and a strict separation between hold and cold sides of the issue, in order to avoid the need for heat shielding measures and reduce performance losses from the oil and water circuits.
Both engines are scheduled for full series Tier 4 production in the third quarter of 2018.
Be sure to check out some of the additional features of the TCD 2.2 and TCD 5.0!

We, the 10 winners of popular expedition contest were very excited to be part of Everest Base Camp with Jamling Norgay. We started this trek on 20th April. In the first week itself, an earthquake struck Nepal. We were having lunch when we felt tremors, we immediately moved out and as soon as we came out, the shack collapsed. We walked for 8 hours to reach Tyangboche, a safe place to stay and halted there for 2 nights, all beyond that village was collapsed. The next plan was to reach Syangboche, which was the base for military helicopter to airlift us. Adding further to the woes, the military helicopter couldn't land down for 2 days owing to the low visibility and we were finally airlifted on 30th April. We all bonded like family and discovered an inner strength, we never knew existed within us. We experienced the majestic beauty of the mountains and the Sherpa culture and this compelling passion wants us to go back. Moreover, it taught us to value nature and oxygen more than WIFI and other luxuries. WE ARE WAITING TO FINISH WHAT WE STARTED.

Tim Tebow tweet gets Bill Maher in hot water
Bill Maher is in trouble (even more than usual) after posting a profane tweet poking fun at evangelical Christian, NFL quarterback Tim Tebow. Some critics are demanding that the outspoken atheist be removed from the HBO series that bears his name over the brewing controversy.
NFL ace Tim Tebow is arguably the most beloved American hero since G.I. Joe.
Apparently, Bill Maher missed that memo.
The controversial pundit has jumped feet first into the ire of angry tweeters after he fired off a loose-lipped barb about the Denver Broncos quarterback and slighted religion on his Twitter page last weekend.
Maher is under fire from Tim Tebow fanatics, Broncos tailgaters, conservatives and Christians -- all because he posted a profane tweet reveling in the Broncos' blowout 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve.
"Wow, Jesus just f***ed #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere… Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler 'Hey, Buffalo's killing them,'" read the Maher message in question.
"Tough game today but what's most important is being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everyone GB2," Tebow tweeted following Saturday's loss.
(GB2 is a phrase Tebow has made popular that means "God Bless + Go Broncos." It's sorta like WWJD -- What Would Jesus Do? -- for the new age.)
Tebow, whose team suffered its second straight loss after a six-game winning streak, did not respond directly to Maher's tweet.
Did Tim Tebow break up Lindsey Vonn's marriage? >>
Perhaps he's grown used to cynics.
Tebowing -- getting down on one knee to pray in a crowd no matter what else is going on -- has made the footballer an easy target for ridicule. Tim is now the subject of an Internet meme and his very own side-splitting Saturday Night Live sketch. The football star was even immortalized in song by some creative folks over at ESPN.
Maher, it seems, won't get off so easily.
The political analyst's tweet has prompted some right-wingers to call for a boycott of Maher's popular HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maher.
"Bill Maher is disgusting vile trash. I can't even repeat what he just tweeted about Tebow… on Christmas Eve. #straighttohellBill," Fox News' Eric Bolling thundered in an angry Twitter posting of his own.
Maher is an outspoken atheist, who routinely jokes about religion on his program. He produced a 2008 documentary, Religulous, which poked fun at organized religion.
Maher has not commented on the Tebow controversy.

So your reduce inputs look like: > A1, V1 > A2, V2 > A3, V3 > B1, V4 > B2, V5 > instead of getting calls to reduce that look like: > reduce(A1, {V1}); reduce(A2, {V2}); reduce(A3, {V3}); reduce(B1, {V4}); reduce(B2, {V5}); > you could define the grouping comparator to just compare the letters and end up with: > reduce(A1, {V1,V2,V3}); reduce(B1, {V4,V5}); > which is the desired outcome. Note that this assumes that the "extra" part of the key is just for sorting because the reduce will only see the first representative of each equivalence class. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Cheesy Egg Casserole
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, read my disclosure policy.
Cheesy Egg Casserole is the perfect baked eggs recipe for brunch! This buttery, easy breakfast casserole is full of cheese and spices, and because it's vegetarian, everyone can enjoy it.
If you're looking for the perfect brunch egg recipe, THIS IS IT. It's a family favorite and it's so easy – it comes together in minutes. None of my family are huge egg lovers, but we devour this breakfast casserole, so you know it has to be good.
When I made this last week, Jordan got home from school and asked to taste it. She kept raving about how good it was and how she wanted more. I reminded her that she has already had these cheesy baked eggs several times before, on Christmas. I guess the monkey bread wins out over eggs. 😉
This cheesy egg casserole is what I make every year for Christmas breakfast. I always make monkey bread, so I want a baked eggs recipe that doesn't have bread. So many egg casseroles have a biscuit or bread base but when you're having sweet rolls with your meal you don't need double the carbs. A friend of mine gave me this recipe years ago and I've been making it every year since.
Cheesy egg casserole = eggs, Italian seasoning, and lots of cheese … that's the trio of champions!
This recipe is super easy, which is a requirement for any brunch menu of mine. I refuse to spend time on Christmas or Easter morning (or any random day, for that matter) cooking over the stove when I could be relaxing with my family drinking a mimosa.
The eggs get their body and rise from a combination of flour and baking powder. Then you add double the cheese: cottage cheese and 2 full cups of your favorite cheese. I use mozzarella most often because I think it pairs well with the Italian seasoning.
Now, if you're freaked out about cottage cheese, don't be. I know it freaks me out and I would never just eat it plain, but baked into recipes, it adds body and flavor and some cheesy goodness.
Jordan ate two servings for snack that day, and I froze the rest, which she's eating for breakfast and dinners.
This brunch recipe is also super versatile because you can make the flavor profile your own. You're not limited to Italian seasoning and mozzarella cheese. I've also made it with green chilis and Monterey jack cheese, as well as cheddar cheese with salsa or Italian seasoning. The sky is the limit! I've seen Mediterranean flavors used, like in this spinach artichoke egg casserole. For the meat lovers out there, there's sausage, cheese and potato egg casserole or broccoli, ham and mozzarella baked with eggs.
In fact, I'm going to make it a point to make some new flavors for you, because I know you'll need each and every one.
Pin this cheesy egg casserole recipe to save for Easter, for Christmas…and any day you want to make cheesy brunch eggs!

4 Myths About the Gold Standard
For the first time since the age of Reagan, the Republican Party is considering the gold standard. The platform adopted last week at the GOP convention includes a plank in favor of a commission to study the way back to a fixed value for the dollar. Such a commission would jumpstart a national debate on monetary reform, something needed now more than ever. But instead of participating in this, critics have objected with myth after myth about the gold standard.
Here are four of the most popular:
Myth 1: The gold standard leaves no discretion in the economy over the money supply.
This is a common refrain from Federal Reserve officials, including Chairman Ben Bernanke. The truth is that the gold standard does not make the money supply static; it simply shifts control over it from the central bank to the people. When the economy demands more money, people exchange gold for new dollars; when it needs less, they redeem excess dollars for gold. This is the market-guided alternative to the system we have now where the Fed controls the money supply through market intervention based on its interpretation of the economy.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. the Supreme Court is expected to release orders in the three final cases on its docket, ending the term without Justice Antonin Scalia and highlighting the electoral stakes for November.
The three cases are:
Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt
This challenge to Texas's HB2 law is the first Supreme Court abortion case since 2007. HB2 is a statute requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion clinic, and also for every abortion facility to meet the equipment and sanitation standards of an ambulatory surgical center. Argued by Texas Solicitor General Scott Keller — a rising conservative star in the law — HB2 was designed to meet the standard Justice Anthony Kennedy set forth in 1992 as the sort of abortion restriction that he is willing to sustain. (Keller is also a former law clerk of Kennedy's, and former general counsel to Senator Ted Cruz.)
Conservative hopes that Hellerstedt would become a major pro-life victory were dashed with the death of the iconic Scalia; now pro-lifers hope they can salvage anything from the case. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld this law, so in the event of a 4-4 tie, HB2 will survive, but without creating any national precedent.
Unfortunately for abortion opponents, after Scalia's death, it is likely that the only way Hellerstedt could now be a major case would be if Kennedy votes with the four liberal justices to hold that HB2 imposes an "undue burden" on women seeking an abortion, which would suggest that even modest abortion restrictions would face an uphill battle at the High Court.
It is also possible that on Monday the Court will not hand down any decision in Hellerstedt. If currently tied at 4-4, instead of ending the case, the justices could vacate the parties' submission of the case, and order it reargued during the Court's next term (which begins in October) after a ninth justice is confirmed to break the tie.
Voisine v. United States
This is a gun-rights case, though one in which the Supreme Court refused to consider any argument over meaning of the Second Amendment. For many years, violent felons have been barred from owning guns. Since 1996, federal law expanded that prohibition to bar a person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor domestic-violence offense from gun ownership.
The issue in Voisine is whether a crime in which the criminal was merely reckless — not willfully or knowingly committing a crime — is sufficient to trigger this federal ban.
McDonnell v. United States
This is a challenge to the felony conviction under the Hobbs Act — which is the federal bribery statute — of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (R). The case was argued by Supreme Court heavyweight Noel Francisco, a partner at Jones Day who formerly clerked for Scalia. McDonnell was convicted for violating the Hobbs Act, though it was acknowledged that he never used his gubernatorial power to benefit anyone giving him a gift. As Francisco's legal brief explains, the question in McDonnell is whether "official acts" criminalized by the Hobbs Act are "limited to exercising actual government power, threatening to exercise such power, or pressuring others to exercise such power."
McDonnell's conviction under the Hobbs Act troubled many legal experts because it represented a very broad view of federal power to criminalize unseemly relationships and interactions — and possibly even completely innocent ones — when no quid pro quo was proven in which an officeholder used his power to reward his friends or benefactors.
These cases are expected to highlight the stakes for the country in the 2016 presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Breitbart News will report on these cases once decisions and orders are handed down at the Court's session, and will preview these cases on Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM Patriot channel 125 Monday morning.

New from Beatdom Books
Hello and a very happy New Year to our readers. At the end of 2017, Beatdom Books published two exciting new titles: Mickey Harper's Off the Road and Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and Rob Johnson's Did Beatniks Kill John F. Kennedy? These rounded out an important year for Beatdom. Founded in 2007, this marked our tenth anniversary. We published a special edition of the journal in May and John Tytell's second book with Beatdom, Beat Transnationalism, during the summer.
Off the Road and Over the Cuckoo's Nest
In Off the Road and Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Mickey Harper explores the influence of the Beat Generation on the American counterculture during the period 1956-1973. He explores the rise and fall of various countercultural movements through an exploration of literature from this period. The three central texts he explores are Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957), Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), and Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971).

New Beat Generation Books 2017
Later this month, Cambridge University Press is releasing The Cambridge Companion to the Beats, which features essays by Jonah Raskin, Regina Weinreich, Nancy Grace, Erik Mortenson, Kurt Hemmer, Oliver Harris, Brenda Knight, Hillary Holladay, Ronna Johnson, Polina MacKay, and others. From the Amazon listing:
Consummate innovators, the Beats had a profound effect not only on the direction of American literature, but also on models of socio-political critique that would become more widespread in the 1960s and beyond. Bringing together the most influential Beat scholars writing today, this Companion provides a comprehensive exploration of the Beat movement, asking critical questions about its associated figures and arguing for their importance to postwar American letters.
Our Cover Collections
Since 2010, Beatdom has been publishing books in addition to the literary journal. So far we've out out five books (3 fiction, 2 non-fiction) with one more coming soon, and big plans for after that.
Beatdom 12 ~ The Crime Issue ~ Coming Soon!!!
Yes, friends, Beatdom Issue Twelve is on it's way and today we unveil the cover, featuring the lovely Zeena Schreck – who was kind enough to contribute this wonderful photo for the cover, as well as a short monologue (meant for stage) which she wrote at about the same time the photo was taken.
"I thought they'd compliment each other in a film-noirish type way, for a crime-theme. I hope you like it," she says and we hope that you enjoy her work, too. Zeena and Nikolas Schreck have been great contributors since they joined us, and we are always delighted with what they have to share with us.
Issue Twelve will be another jam-packed issue, featuring interviews with Patti Smith, Amiri Baraka and Joyce Johnson and a close look at the first person to publish a piece of Beat Literature, John Clellon Holmes. He is featured in a review of the great biography/period non-fiction book on University of Missisippi Press, Brother-Souls by Ann Charters and Samuel Charters.
There are plenty of other great contributions pouring in but there is still time for you to send something, if you have a Beat-tinged piece on crime, or even a Beat-related bit of work. We are happy to look at your submissions. Deadline is in two weeks on November 1.
Beatdom 12 should roll off the presses in the first weeks of December, so save some cash in that holiday budget of yours to get a nice present for yourself!

Something New! Beatdom Book Club Discussion Group – "Brother-Souls"
When we interviewed Ann Charters in our current issue, Beatdom Eleven, she brought up the relationship between Jack Kerouac and John Clellon Holmes and the importance of Holmes in the evolution of the seminal style, syntax and spirit of Beat Literature, as demonstrated by Kerouac's daily digestion of each page as Holmes' novel, Go.
Here is a slice of that interview…
Ann Charters – "I can understand (Alene) Lee's anger at Kerouac after he appropriated her story in The Subterraneans (though at the request of Grove Press she signed a paper giving her consent). What he did to his friend John Clellon Holmes in that autobiographical novel was much worse: Kerouac portrayed Holmes as such a wimpy rival that the literary portrait trapped him for eternity as "the quiet Beat" just as a fly is trapped in amber. Sam and I tried to redress that wrong in our recent biography Brother-Souls: John Clellon Holmes, Jack Kerouac, and the Beat Generation. It was a difficult book to write, but one of its pleasures was the opportunity to give Holmes back his voice as a writer who was an enormous influence on Kerouac during the years 1948 to 1951, especially in Jack's creation of the "scroll" version of On the Road.
I don't think I should have written more about Alene Lee in my early biography (Kerouac, 1973), because she didn't play a major role in Jack's life. Much later when I found out from the English Beat scholar Oliver Harris that she had typed the manuscript of Burroughs and Ginsberg's The Yage Letters, I included that information in Brother-Souls to give her credit.
But I wish I had known more about Holmes' long friendship with Kerouac when I wrote the
biography, because Holmes was a major influence and he deserves much more credit for his role as a Beat novelist, poet, and historian. Certainly Holmes' memoir Nothing More to Declare and his novel Go are major achievements in the Beat literary canon. Jack read every chapter of Go as it left John's typewriter, and it helped break the emotional log-jam that prevented him from writing about his road trips with Neal Cassady."
This caught our interest so we were very pleased at the arrival of Brother-Souls in the old Beat Mailbox. A full review of this terrific work will appear in the next issue of Beatdom…Issue Twelve, The Crime Issue.The thing is – the book is much more that what we expected, so we are reading slowly and savoring. Instead of a basic nuts-and-bolts account of the facts, this is a volume that reads with the excitement of any of the best Beat novels. Though more factually forward and to the point than the diamond-hard poetic styles of description which infused On The Road, Go, The Dharma Bums, etc., we still get the adventures, the substance of an era frozen in time, and all the usual suspects – and then some!
Before we even arrived at chapter one, the three page prologue dazzled us with an array of "Who's Who In Hip"…we come across the names of the Velvet Underground, The Fugs, Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Ed Saunders, Diane di Prima, Andy Warhol, Charles Olson, Peter Orlovski, Anne Waldman, Timothy Leary…even W.H. Auden walks through to buy a newspaper…Will they all show up eventually? Perhaps not all of them but it certainly grabbed our interest immediately.
By force of habit, we opened the book to a random page to see what we found and, there on page 179, we have Neal Cassady sending Holmes, in the words of the former, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-EEEE! A real whiz of a letter" in his typical ebullience! What more can you look for in a quick introduction to the text?
If you are reading this post you are probably on this site for a reason – to learn about, celebrate or simply enjoy that which is Beat Culture and Literature. To that end, we suggest you go out to a store, click on Amazon.com, break out the Kindle – however you prefer to do it – get yourself a copy of Brother-Souls and read it. When we went to our local library to see if we could get a copy, we couldn't. Utilizing the inter-library loan service, we were shocked to find that not a single public library in the State of Pennsylvania had a copy.
That is just pathetic.
So, if you are used to getting reading materials and books at the local branch and they do not have it, or are not aware of it here is all the information they need to order a copy…
Give them the information and don't cut them any slack if they argue!
Brother-Souls: John Clellon Holmes, Jack Kerouac, and the Beat Generation
By Ann Charters and Samuel Charters
University Press of Mississippi
ISBN 978-1-60473-579-6, hardback, $35
Email – www.upress.state.ms.us/book/1303
If they can afford multiple copies of that Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, let them know they can get something besides that sort of drivel for your tax dollar. This is literary history and it belongs in any and every self-respecting library!
Before Issue Twelve appears with the full review, we will post a short version of Brother-Souls on this site. We would love to open up a discussion and have you send us your comments. If you already read it, please post a comment and start a forum here. For the fun of it, please include the city and country you are writing from.
If you have to give the clerk at Barnes and Noble a hard time to get your copy, tell us about that, too! Let's all read a great book together and have some fun doing it. If you like, we can have discussions on other books in the future.
What do you say?
Be there or be square!!!

Life with Parkinson's
With more than 400 people living with Parkinson's disease on the Fraser Coast, a group of sufferers and their carers have been asking the question; why do they have to travel to Bundaberg or Brisbane to see a neurologist?
A small group has used this month's National Parkinson's Month to raise awareness about the disease and speak out about the problems they face every day.
They say living with Parkinson's is a "very challenging journey" for both the carer and patient.
"We don't want sympathy, just empathy," carer Jaimie de Salis said. Her partner Barry has been accused of being drunk in public because of how the symptoms present and says a sense of humour is essential to maintaining quality of life.
Ms de Salis said most Parkinson's patients withdrew from society because of public perception and lack of understanding. Among the wide variety of symptoms experienced by people with Parkinson's was rigidity, loss of dexterity and balance, drooling, memory loss and blood pressure swings, to name just a few.
"We are just hoping we can help people understand and not be critical of someone with Parkinson's," Ms de Salis said.
"If someone falls over, don't immediately think they are drunk or on drugs and lend a helping hand if needed.
"We need people to have compassion and not judge."
An interesting observation from the group was that they could tell if a sufferer was being treated by a neurologist because the symptoms were better managed.
"We strongly recommend being treated by a neurologist who uses a combination of medication to control symptoms," Ms de Salis said. "There are people in our support group who don't see one and you can tell. Some GPs seem to think they can manage the disease but we strongly recommend finding a doctor who will refer them to a neurologist."
National Parkinson's Month aims to raise awareness about this devastating condition and helps raise funds for Parkinson's Queensland for vital research work into the causes and treatments of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's Queensland CEO Helen Crew said each day thirty people were diagnosed with Parkinson's.
"It's not just a disease of the elderly as 20 per cent of people affected are of working age," she said.
Parkinson's can affect both males and females and is the second most common neurological condition in Australia; however, Fraser Coast does not have a neurologist to treat residents with the disease.
The Hervey Bay Parkinson's support group plans to approach their local MPs on the issue this month.

This will be shorter then Mary's essay since I got capped talking to her on msn last night – Less text and more pictures. (HAH! I lasted 8 days more then you.)

U Turn (Drama/CF)

U-turn starring So Ji Sub and Lee Yeon Hee is a considered to be a drama but at the same time an advertisement (CF) for an automobile. The series would possibly be about 20 minutes long all together but has been separated into four 5 minute episodes.
Have you heard?

East of Eden episodes 1 and 2
Posted in First impressions, K- Drama/ movie, Korean media, tagged east of eden on September 6, 2008| Leave a Comment »
MBC is aiming to improve their year of rating drought with East of Eden, a 50 episode story based on the development and changes in Korea from the 1960s to 2000s, spanning 40 years and the story of two men, who were born on the same day at the same time at the same hospital, and their crossed destiny and revenge. The story holds much familiarity with Korean audiences despite the clichéd storyline but that's not enough to guarantee good ratings apparently, a huge star-studded cast is also present with the likes of Song Seung Hun, Park Hae Jin, Han Ji Hye, Lee Da Hae, Lee Yeon Hee and Dennis Oh headlining the list (but of course there are a large number of stars in the supporting list as well) so if this drama becomes another flop for MBC I'll try really hard but my response would be "sucks to be you". Still, current ratings have been steadily rising (11.3% episode 1 to 17.8% episode 2) so maybe MBC has a hit on their hands (pity if this monster wasn't a hit).
I say all this but the war of ratings mean nothing, I don't usually care, popular =/= good so I took all the anticipation with a grain of salt and decided to jump in thinking that East of Eden would be pure populist material (otherwise known as overrated crap) and well, when you jump into something with this frame of mind chances are you will be walking out satisfied. I did just that with the first two episodes of East of Eden and as expected, I left with my low expectations exceeded.

On upcoming Jdramas and Kdramas

I was planning to do seperate posts for both of the Kdramas I am currently watching but per usual, effort > nothing I decided to do a seperate post since I ended up writing too much. I haven't posted in a while but seeing as how a lot of new Kdramas have started and the Autumn Jdrama season is coming up I'll do my usual anticipation post as well as two first impression posts in one.
The first impression dramas in mind today: MBC's mega-"epic" East of Eden and rom-com Love Marriage. See upcoming posts.

Participants in this year's Intensive Bioethics Course at Georgetown (41 years strong!) were invited to sign up for a post-session dedicated to issues in research ethics.
Designed for clinical researchers and others whose work brings them face-to-face with moral issues in gathering medical research, and facilitated by EthicsLab designers, the full-day workshop used design-based inquiry to explore problem contexts and scenarios drawn from real cases. Participants used empathy maps to articulate issues in informed consent, prototyped a tactile decision aids for enrollment in two different types of clinical trial, talked about exploitation and coercion in research in resource-poor settings over lunch, and finished the day with some famous local cupcakes.

A Moment in History
On January 20th, I found myself a part of the crowd waiting at the perimeter of the fence that had sprung up outside the National Mall. Around me, the crowd shuffled restlessly, some of them leaning against the fence. When the gates opened at 7:30, the crowd flowed toward the security tent that stood between us and the Mall. The men and women in the tent quickly checked us and our bags, and then we were funneled in the direction of the Reflecting Pool, which had been covered in thick, white plastic panels.
Hours passed this way. There were large screens that displayed the seal of the United States of America and speakers that played music by the Beatles, Adele, and the Rolling Stones as well as a few others. Whenever "God Bless the USA" would resound over the crowd, the crowd would lift its face to the slight drizzle and sing along.
Around 11:00, the screens jumped to life, showing the doors of the White House opening. A cheer went through the crowd. Somewhere behind me, a couple guys started chanting, "Trump, Trump, Trump!" Michelle Obama and Melania Trump exited, and the doors shut once more. The chanters groaned. A couple people chuckled at them.
A few minutes later, the doors reopened, and the chanting picked up once more. Joe Biden and Mike Pence exited.
"Alright," one of the chanters said. "They've done the first ladies, the vice presidents–Trump's next!"
For half a beat, all of us stood still and stared at the screen. Then the chanting picked up again. President Obama and President-Elect Trump crossed the threshold of the White House and ducked into the sleek black cars waiting for them just outside. At the bottom of the screen, the subtitle flipped from "THE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT-ELECT LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE" to "THE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT-ELECT EN ROUTE TO THE CAPITOL."
Someone behind me pointed out a media helicopter hovering just above the buildings.
"Well, at least we can see how far away they are," he said with a laugh.
We watched as it got closer and closer until, finally, the screens flashed the words "THE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT-ELECT ARRIVING AT THE CAPTIOL."
We watched as Mr. Trump's children, Melania, the Obamas, and Mr. Trump himself were escorted to the balcony where the rest of America waited for them.
Listen to the Inauguration Ceremony and the crowd's reaction:

I've been writing stories since I was 5. My first book was "Turtle Salad"--I wrote and illustrated it. I was horrified because Sally the Turtle ate a fish.
When I was 8, I wrote to JK Rowling to offer some ideas for the Harry Potter series. Her assistant wrote me back, saying that Rowling only hopes to inspire young readers, not to take their ideas. While I totally understand now, I was pissed then. I vowed to become a better writer than JK Rowling. I've been working toward it ever since.
Now, I'm a 21-year-old sometimes-poet studying writing and French at the University of Mount Union. My work has appeared in the University of Mount Union's Agora and Calliope, Hiram College's Echo, the University of Miami's Mangrove, the Lala, Popular Culture Studies Journal, and the Cleveland Magazine.
