White Fang (1991)
Scott Conroy's son, Jack (Ethan Hawke), goes to Alaska during the Gold Rush to look for a man named Alex Larson (Klaus Maria Brandauer) to ask if he can lead the way to his father's claim. Alex is reluctant to take the young man, but his friend, Skunker (Seymour Cassel), is immediately taken with Jack because he resembles his father so much: To refuse the boy's wishes is almost tantamount to declining a favor for their friend who had passed away too soon. With a dead body in tow, which is to be buried in a special spot, the three traverse toward a town relatively close to Scott's mine. Meanwhile, hungry wolves spot the dogs that help carry the trio's belongings.
Based on a novel by Jack London, "White Fang" is an equal conflation of a survival story in the harsh wilderness and friendship between man and beast. It is sensitive but never sentimental, a rousing adventure story that is in touch with the majesty of nature.
While the snowy terrain is not particularly impressive, the picture comes alive when the wolf-dog cub finally makes an appearance. As White Fang explores his environment for the first time, it is as though the filmmakers are putting us in the youngling's eyes as it experiences the magic of natural wonders for the first time, from a cavern covered with scintillating ice to fish stuck in muddy waters desperately attempting to escape from being eaten by the cub. The tender, childlike moments provide a wonderful contrast against dark and genuinely scary moments like when a ravenous pack of wolves realize that their prey are vulnerable and slowly begin to close in on Jack, Alex, and Skunker.
The friendship between White Fang and Jack does not feel hackneyed because they spend the majority of the time apart. Although they meet when the wolf-dog is still small, it is not until later on when White Fang is hardened by his owners (Pius Savage, James Remar) that their bond begins to have life, complexity, and depth.
The material poses interesting questions such as whether learned cues and motor responses, like a man picking up a stick and the animal going into a fit of rage, can be unlearned. If so, as to what extent can such responses be unlearned? Will it be temporary? Is it person-specific? I do not know much about wolf-dog behavior and intelligence, but I appreciated that the film is able to answer its questions with clarity. Because it gives us a chance to understand what is happening and why, it feels like we are growing alongside Jack and White Fang.
Furthermore, I enjoyed that the passage of time almost feels seamless. There is audacity in scenes that are really short. Whenever the point is made, it is onto the next scene. I felt as though my time is being valued and not enough movies bother to communicate that.
Directed by Randall Kleiser, "White Fang" can appeal to both children and adults. While there are some disturbing scenes like a dead body being pushed out of a coffin and violent dogfights where dogs eventually lie lifeless on the ground, I believe that kids and adults, especially those who love pets, will ultimately appreciate the theme of a person loving and caring for another non-human being. It is entertaining not because the material is cute and sugary but because there is honesty behind the plot devices.
What Lies Beneath (2000)
After Claire (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Norman (Harrison Ford) dropped their daughter (Katharine Towne) off to college, strange things started to occur in their lakeside Vermont home. After hearing her neighbor (Miranda Otto) cry while tending the garden and the woman suddenly disappeared the next day, Claire was convinced that the wife was murdered by her husband (James Remar). Claire concluded that she was being haunted by the wife's ghost. But was there really a ghost or was it simply that were we watching a woman with a fractured mind? After all, there were some memories she didn't have access to because she had been involved in a major car accident a year before. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, "White Lies Beneath" had a very suspenseful first half. The camera was almost always fixated on Claire as she moved about the house. We saw the story through her eyes so every time she turned a corner and someone (or something) happened to be there (or worse, when we saw some weird happenings behind her through a mirror), we, like her, couldn't help but react. The scares were earned. There were some eerie scenes such as when the dog wouldn't go into the water to fetch his favorite toy and when Claire decided to spy on the man of the house next door in order to gather some sort of evidence that he killed his wife. The scene with the Ouija board was also a stand-out because the characters acknowledged the ridiculousness of the situation. It was funny, but it generated uneasy laughs because perhaps there really was a ghost. Sadly, the second half was convoluted. Cheap false alarms were abound and the explanation regarding the supernatural left something more to be desired. I also had a big problem with Ford's acting. When he expressed his many frustrations regarding his wife's obsession, I felt like I was watching a play. Ford's tendency to overact did not complement Pfeiffer's more natural approach despite the fact that she felt like she was dealing with the paranormal. Thankfully, the movie was saved by the truly scary bathtub scene in which the paralyzed Claire awaited the water to rise until she could no longer breathe. The silence was menacing. We could hear every drop of water and feel Claire's determination to survive. "What Lies Beneath" was eviscerated by critics upon its release. It may have its weak points but I stand by the picture because of its more classic approach to the scares and references to Alfred Hitchcock's repertoire. Compared to most horror pictures of the mid- to late 2000s, which were mostly uninspired, this movie was able to deliver good scares without relying on blood.


Backed by Dunoon Presents and the local community, the event will bring rallying back to the region after a break of over ten years and is organised by Mull Car Club.
The all-gravel rally will form round five of the ARR Craib MSA Scottish Rally Championship which will bring some of the best drivers in Scotland and further afield to the region to tackle stages in the forests surrounding Dunoon.
The event is also a qualifying round of the ANWCC Stage Rally Championship, SD34 MSG Stage Rally Championship and the www.c2rallyparts.co.uk Ecosse Challenge.
A total of eight stages offering 45 miles of competitive driving are on offer for crews, all easily accessible from Dunoon Stadium which will play host to Rally HQ and the event service area. The close proximity of the event base to the stages will ensure low road mileage for competitors, making the event as cost effective as possible.
The event kicks off on Friday 23rd June with pre-event scrutiny and documentation taking place at Dunoon Stadium from 2:00pm. To bring rallying into the heart of the community, the event will commence with a spectacular ceremonial start in Dunoon town centre at around 8.45am on Saturday 24th June.
After an action packed day in the forests, crews will return to spray the champagne at round 5.00pm later that day with the awards ceremony taking place in the Stadium from around 9.00pm.
First known as the Burmah Rally, the event originated from the early 1970's where the British Rally Championship assembled in the region and saw classic battles in the local forests with names such as Roger Clark and Jimmy McRae.
Last run in 2003 by Lankarkshire Car Club, the event fell victim to the austerity measures of the era and ended an almost 40 year history. Thanks to the support of the locals and businesses in Dunoon, the Argyll Rally returns once again in 2017.
Chris Woodcock, Clerk of the Course and his team have been working hard over the past few months to prepare an event worthy of continuing its prestigious heritage and they believe they have the formula just right.
"It's been a lot of hard work but it's a real honour to be able to come back to the region and put on an event in the Scottish Rally Championship" says Woodcock.
"The people of Dunoon are so excited by the prospect of the event returning to the local woodlands and we are of course indebted to the support from Dunoon Presents and the local businesses.
Spectator information will be available closer to the event.

Despite sharing my #2017bestnine and Best of 2017 blog posts, which are all about the numbers, of course there was much, much more. Any maker, I think, will have those projects and opportunities (and yes, challenges) that mean something to them that no one else can see. That's just the nature of creating. That said, here's some of what made 2017 especially memorable for me.
Teaching an improv piecing class at Gossypium locally, and then traveling to Victoria MQG to share a trunk show were firsts that stretched and delighted me. More similar opportunities are scheduled for the new year, and preparing for them will consume much of my behind-the-scenes creative time. I'm excited and nervous.
My bi-monthly newsletter, The Scrap Basket, topped 3000 subscribers and continues to be an enjoyable way to connect with my followers.
Chatting with Pat Sloan on her podcast was simply a blast. I was stunned when she invited me on the show, and as nerve-wracking as it was, it was such a privilege, and afterwards, I was buoyed for days.
On a whim I joined in on the #pinnieparade, and crazy as it sounds, it was such a fun diversion! Consciously focusing on a new, small project every day was intense and rewarding. I tried so many pin cushion patterns, made up my own designs, used up scraps galore, and the best fun of all, gave most of them away.
As far as quilting itself goes, I especially loved dabbling in a range of improv. I purposely tried techniques I never had, explored several unique palettes, and just went with the flow again and again. This kind of creating takes me to such a fulfilling place.
And one of the things I was most excited about is something I haven't even had the chance to share with you yet - but soon!! I contributed an article - and project! - to Issue 2 of Curated Quilts, which ships next week. I can hardly wait!
Whew. Lots of good stuff. There was plenty more of course and I truly could go on and on. Being a member of both the Seattle MQG and the online quilting community has continued to inspire and affirm me, and indeed, all of you feel like an essential element in my work as a creator. Ok, enough already. It's been an unquestionably good year. Thanks for being a part of it.
what a great year! Can't wait to meet up with you in 2018!
I can't wait to see what you create in 2018! I enjoyed your radio talk with Pat Sloan.
You've had a great year Debbie! I look forward to seeing your contribution to Curated Quilts magazine!
It has been a great year for you! May your quilting continue to delight and fulfill you and your opportunities continue to rain down!
Wow!!! There is no moss growing under your feet. You amaze me with your productivity. Balance that with your creativity and I think we should crown you "Quilting Queen".
You continue to inspire me, Debbie! Thanks so much for your continuous support and beautiful projects! I can't wait to meet you next year at QuiltCon! Happy new year to you and your loved ones!
I loved following you throughout the year and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next !

There's still time to join us for the North Lands Creative Glass 2012 International Conference. Taking place on Saturday 8, Sunday 9 September, the programme explores conceptual and stylistic exchanges over time, between different cultures and media.
9.30 'Postmodernism' – Keynote Presentation. Jane Pavitt is Head of the History of Design Programme and Dean of the School of Humanities at the Royal College of Art. Former Research Fellow at the V&A, she was responsible for many exhibitions. Her presentation will outline the thinking behind the V&A's 2011 exhibition Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970-1990 in relation to 'Give and Take', the conference theme. Postmodernism was the first exhibition to explore the international impact of the style on art, design, architecture, film, video and performance.
Spanning a broad range of subject areas including fashion, craft, graphics, furniture and product design, the exhibition research aimed to uncover the histories behind the conception, making, dissemination and reception of postmodern artefacts and images. It explored the complex and often controversial debates within these design disciplines in the 1970s and 1980s. She will explain the research processes behind the exhibition, exploring postmodernism's potential to foster interdisciplinarity, and the continuing legacy of postmodernism for design today.
11.15 'Interventions in Nature'. Angela Jarman says: ' My work has always been influenced by the natural world, and the biological aspects within it. I'm trying to create pieces which have a sense of beauty, but which also have a quality about them which makes them slightly strange and disturbing, a lurking sense of unease, something uncomfortable, sinister.' In her lecture Angela will offer an insight into her work, her sources of inspiration and her thoughts about glass as a material.
Crafts: Tradition and the Avant-Garde (1995), with an exhibition of the same title. He is often a jury member at domestic and international ceramics competitions.
14.30 'African Aesthetics: Beauty and Ugliness from Sub-Saharan Perspectives'. Ever since the early 20th century, when the European avant-garde started to show interest, African art has been increasingly appreciated in the West for its aesthetic qualities. But how do Africans themselves evaluate their artistic expressions? What counts as aesthetic quality in the eyes of the original producers and users of the masks and figures that have so fascinated the West? In this lecture we will be considering African conceptions of beauty and the ways these are realised in works of art.
Attention will be given to the relationship between aesthetics and ethics as well as to the religious function of beauty in African cultures. The discussion will also focus on the reverse of beauty, addressing the contexts in which intentionally ugly art forms function in traditional Sub-Saharan African societies. Wilfried van Damme teaches World Art Studies at Leiden Univerisity and African Art at Ghent Univeristy. He is an Extraordinary Professor at Tilburg University.
15.30 'Give and Take'. Jacqueline Poncelet will talk about the need to Give and Take in the context of public art commissions. She will give examples from the different projects she has undertaken over the last 14 years. No two projects have been the same. They have varied in every possible way from the size of the project, the materials, the context, the relationship to the commissioning parties and the time taken to complete each one. The only constant has been the need to Give and Take.
18.00 Opening of the Scottish Glass Society Exhibition.
9.15 'Fashion loves Art: A Passionate Affair'. Remember Yves Saint Laurent's brightly coloured Mondriaan dresses of 1965 and the 'OpArt' mini dresses of the 1960s? They are vivid illustrations of the centuries-long love affair between fashion and art. Couturiers are past masters at capturing the contemporary 'Zeitgeist' in their designs, while artists have frequently used clothing as a way to give all-round expression to their aesthetic ideas. Madelief Hohé, Curator of the exhibition 'Fashion loves Art: A Passionate Affair', will explore some of the major themes in the show. From the 19th century, contemporary art has been strongly influencing fashion. She will discuss the reasons why that development has played so important a part in shaping identities and, specifically, how it is related to the increasing influence and freedom women now enjoy in society. Madelief Hohé is an art historian, author and curator of the Fashion and Costume Department at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag in The Hague. There she has curated a number of exhibitions and has been responsible for the related publications.
15.30 Summing-up by Tina Oldknow.
15.45 'Glenfiddich'. Glenfiddich Distillery is a Speyside single malt whisky distillery owned by William Grant & Sons. Founded in 1886 by William Grant, whose ambition was to create the 'best dram in the valley', 120 years later the distillery is still owned and run by the fifth generation of the same family. Glenfiddich malt, in its distinctive triangular bottles, is sold in 180 countries worldwide. Since 1970, the Glenfiddich Food and Drink Awards have honoured distinguished writing and broadcasting on food and drink in the UK and, from 2002, Glenfiddich has funded an international Artist-in-Residence programme with participants from all parts of the world. Bert Macor will discuss the distillery's history and dedication to craftsmanship, concluding his talk with a tasting. Dutchman Bert Macor is the Senior Guide of the Glenfiddich visitor centre, and a passionate ambassador and connoisseur of malt whisky. He owned a wine and whisky shop in the Netherlands and has lived in Scotland since 2006.

"Our Republic and its press will rise or fall together. An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery. A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself. The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations."

PRG Media Release - 4/11/17
Tutti Devono Andarsene
For twenty years Paradigm Research Group has worked to end the government imposed truth embargo on an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race and bring about Disclosure - the formal acknowledgement of that truth by heads of state of nations. In doing so PRG has strenuously avoided partisan politics. Disclosure will be the most profound event in human history. It transcends ethnicity, race, religion, politics and nations. The Disclosure movement needs the support of all because all will be affected by this transition.
This was an appropriate activist strategy, but like all things, not without limits. Sadly, that limit has been reached. Enough is enough.
Donald Trump is the most dangerous man to ever sit in the Oval Office - period. Not because he has an agenda, but because he has no agenda. He is a vacuum. There is no there there. Compared to Trump, George W. Bush was the Rock of Gibraltar. He is an empty vessel available to be filled with whatever by whomever. Worse than Johnson or Nixon, far worse than Obama, he is THE candidate for "most likely to stumble into a nuclear war."
The dysfunctional Democratic Party has for decades been running a somewhat distant second behind the Republican Party in the race to acquire the most liars, most hypocrites, most bought and sold members gorging at the Citizens United trough of swill. It is a race it cannot win. After two decades of marination in alt-right propaganda oozing out of car radio speakers into the minds of drivers trapped in billions of hours of commuter traffic coupled with a bizarre news network from hell, the Republican Party has become pure, unreformable, irredeemable toxic poison.
In the dysfunction meets toxic poison presidential election of 2016 the Democratic Party conducted a horrendous campaign that flaunted its worse attributes - far too many to mention. One mistake in particular stands out - a total misunderstanding and misportrayal of the opposition candidate.
Donald Trump is not a racist. The Democrats portrayed him as such to get the black vote. Trump is not a misogynist. The Democrats pushed that meme to get the women's vote. He is not an Islamophobe or hates Latinos. The Democrats worked that angle to get the ethnic vote. He is not a homophobe. The Dems wanted the LGBT vote.
Donald Trump was and is a billionaire, playboy a-hole - one of many who haunt the penthouses of the great cities of America. Why the Democrats did not see and portray him appropriately is theirs to explain. Perhaps they were afraid to lose the a-hole vote - a growing segment of the electorate that might one day form a third party.
This stupid and insipid strategy played directly into its candidate's primary weaknesses - a woman who refused to put the truth before her political ambitions, could never lie as well as her husband and was not authentic - just played authentic on television. Badly.
Nations make mistakes and people make mistakes - personally and in the collective. One such mistake was made on November 8, 2016. A public weary from seven decades of war and metastasizing broad spectrum institutional dysfunction; marinated in decades of propaganda; reeling from the impact of social media on political discourse; under the expanding thumb of a massive military/intelligence/industrial complex (Secret Empire, Deep State, Breakaway Civilization); and embittered by a failing Fourth Estate fired a warning shot across the bow of the Ship of State. They wanted a change of course and they wanted it now.
Unfortunately (and ironically) their aim was off and they hit the ship's stern blowing its rudder to pieces. Adrift at sea the SoS was boarded by a band of miscreants, nepotists, sycophants, and incompetents roaming its decks looking for something to do while trying to figure out how the guns work. This is not going to end well.
Many supporters of PRG's advocacy work are pressing for engagement of the sitting president on Disclosure. He is a renegade. He will do anything. Appeal to his ego. What these well-meaning supporters neglect to consider is this: if Donald Trump were somehow able to formally disclose the ET presence (very unlikely), he would be the first post-Disclosure president. It would be Trump faced with the task of directing America's path and the significant impact of that path on the global response during the most important transition in history at a time of almost unprecedented instability.
Paradigm Research Group will proceed to advance the Disclosure process, educate the public, seek contacts with other governments, and raise funds for the advocacy work. What it will not do is promote Donald Trump for the role of Disclosure President. That said, the world is a complicated place. Disclosure can come from many directions placing Trump in that role. What are the odds of that? Possibly low. Why?
The chaos during the transition and the first three months of the Trump presidency has masked a major political development. After organizing the largest public demonstration in American history the day after the inauguration, women's organizations began receiving massive amounts of funding. Across the nation women of substance and experience are committing to primary every House and Senate member whom they consider no longer part of the solution. They will have the funding they need to win. With or without a change of administration it is very possible, even likely, there will be more women than men serving in the House of Representatives in January of 2019.
Every day the Trump administration remains in the White House after January 1, 2018 the Republican Party will be losing hundreds thousands of votes across every district. That is why dramatic action will take place. It will be for the Republican Party a matter of survival.
It is PRG's assessment the current president will not be in the White House by the end of 2017. He will be asked to "step down for health reasons" by a Republican leadership well aware they are facing decimation in the 2018 mid-term election. They will cut a deal with Pence who will also step down. Voilà. President Ryan.
All of this lies in the future. As for the present, the situation is untenable given the current president (a cross between Benito Mussolini and Silvio Berlusconi), his family and the dystopian staff.
Enough is enough. He must go. All of them must go.
We have waited 70 years for the truth embargo to end. We can wait a few more months.

Texpatriate endorses for Attorney General
This should be a long and intellectual editorial about the political history of the Attorney General's office, about the nuanced policy disagreements between the major candidates and the different criteria one should use before making a decision on whom to support for the state's top lawyer. But this decision is just not complex enough to warrant all that. One candidate is an admitted crook, and should stay far away from high office.
State Senator Ken Paxton (R-Collin County) has admitted to engaging in securities fraud, a felony in Texas, when he solicited clients to a capital management firm without properly registering himself, despite being paid to do so. He has been officially reprimanded and fined by the State Securities Board. The Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney's office has even initiated an investigation against Paxton, though any indictments that might be issued would not occur until after the November election.
Now, if Paxton wins the election but still gets disbarred for his unethical behavior and just shoddy lawyering, he would still be able to continue on in office (our state's founding fathers, in their grand wisdom, decided you don't have to be an Attorney to be Attorney General). But if convicted of a felony, he would be removed from office. This is not that small of a possibility.
In our opinion, Paxton is already a confessed crook. Someone like him is either too nefarious or too mindless to follow the law; either way, he should not be rewarded with the privilege to help enforce it. And Texas should not have to relive the excitement of the 1980s when it comes to dealing with public officials who have been found guilty of felonies.
The Democratic candidate, Sam Houston, has a great deal of problems himself that make us think perhaps he is also not ready for prime time. But being camera shy and perplexed on some more complicated issues is a far cry from a felonious crime-spree.
Houston specifically has a rather unclear stance on what criteria the Attorney General should use when determining to defend a state law or not. We don't know exactly what he believes, and this ambiguity troubles us to some extent. However, we do agree with Houston on many of the underlying principles, such as personal opposition to Texas' strict anti-abortion laws and homophobic constitutional amendments.
In our view, the second-most obvious difference between Houston and Paxton is their legal experience. Paxton is a second-rate lawyer who has been propped up merely by his skills in Tea Party rabble rousing. Sam Houston, on the other hand, is a well-respected attorney in the City of Houston area, focusing on litigation as a named partner in a major firm.
Though most of all, Houston is willing to approach the issues of the Attorney General with an open mind. This stands in contrast to Paxton's small and petty ideological approach, which results in the exact type of hubris that can lead to the aforementioned hubris.
What type of laughing stock will Texas be when it has the only Attorney General in the country who is no longer an attorney? We're not sure what the punch-line would be, and we don't care to find out by electing Paxton.
Accordingly, this board endorses Sam Houston for Attorney General.

Fictional accounts of travel, adventure, and exploration are a genre of literature that centers on fictional characters' accounts of real or fictional places. The quality of the descriptions in realistic stories varied – at times descriptions and facts in these works were inaccurate or falsified – and sometimes the locations were overshadowed by the characters. Purely imaginary stories, on the other hand, were sometimes presented in a seemingly factual way and sometimes in a completely fanciful way.
Travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece: Map of Greece.
Jean-Jacques Barthélemy was a classical scholar and Jesuit in the 18th century. This multivolume work, an early example of historical fiction, was an imaginary travel journal about a fictional descendant of the early 6th-century philosopher Anacharsis. The book was quite popular, going through multiple editions as well as being translated into several languages. Barthélemy describes the government, customs and culture of Greece, though most of the information is inaccurate. Several of these fictional travel accounts mirrored true travel narratives and despite the inaccuracies in the fictional narratives, many readers believed them to be accurate accounts (Arthur 198).
This is a work purporting to be the "secret" logbook of Christopher Columbus thrown into the sea during a storm and "retrieved" 400 years later along the English coast. The book is manufactured to look like a water-damaged manuscript and also includes some decorative shells glued onto the cover. The writing (in English!) and several anachronisms in the text quickly dispel any possibility of this being a genuine historical artifact.
A Line Portrait of Baron Munchhausen.
Tom Pinkney's Fortunes; Or, Around the World With Nellie Bly.
A Tramp Abroad by Mark Twain.
Baron Munchausen is a fictional German nobleman created by the German writer Rudolf Erich Raspe. The character is loosely based on a real baron, Hieronymus Karl Friedrich, Freiherr von Münchhausen. The real Baron Münchhausen was known for his tall tales about his life's adventures and Raspe anonymously adapted these into his novel.
"Tom Pinkney's Fortunes" adds a fictional character to tag along on real-life reporter Nellie Bly's 1889-1890 race around the world.
Mark Twain's A Tramp Abroad, an autobiographical narrative with fictional elements, tells the story of Twain's second trip to Europe. The narrator's companion in this book is a fictional character named Mr. Harris (based on one of Twain's real-life friends). In addition to the main travel narrative, there are also fictional stories woven into the text.

SouthworldDossier November 2011Lesotho – The Mountain kingdom
Saturday, 29 October 2011 8:33
Written by:	Fr.Carmine
Category:	Dossier November 2011
Africa, Lesotho
Like most of Southern Africa, the Drakensberg Escarpment was inhabited by hunter-gatherers groups until the XVII century. AT about that time, the area was occupied by refugees from Bantu tribal wars. In 1818, Moshoeshoe, a local chief of the Southern Sotho, the survivors of the devastating Zulu and Matabele raids, occupied the high ridges of the Drakensberg Mountains and founded the Basotho nation. From his fortress in Thaba Bosiu, Moshoeshoe – by now King of the Basotho – was successful in repelling attacks from other ethnic groups. Little he could against the better armed Boers. In a series of wars (1856-68), the new kingdom lost most of its fertile land to the Boers from the Orange Free State. Moshoeshoe had no choice but appealing to Great Britain for protection. His appeal was accepted in 1868 and Basutoland became a crown protectorate. After Moshoeshoe's death in 1870, the kingdom was annexed to the Cape Colony, to return to direct British control in 1884. Local government was introduced in 1910 with the creation of the Basutoland Council, an advisory body composed of the British resident commissioner, the paramount chief, and 99 appointed Basotho members. In effect, for the next 50 years the chiefs were allowed to govern. Under a new constitution that became effective in 1960, an indirectly elected legislative body, the Basutoland National Council, was created.
Great Britain granted independence to the newly named Kingdom of Lesotho on 4 October 1966; paramount chief Moshoeshoe II was proclaimed king on that date. The first general election following the attainment of independence was held in January 1970. When it appeared that the Basotho National Party (BNP) – which controlled the Legislative assembly – would be defeated, Prime Minister Leabua Jonathan declared a state of emergency and suspended the constitution. The Basotho Congress Party (BCP), led by Ntsu Mokhehle, claimed that it had won 33 seats to the BNP's 23. Jonathan admitted he had lost the election but nevertheless arrested the opposition leaders. King Moshoeshoe II was placed under house arrest, and later went into exile. He was permitted to return in December 1970.
Scattered attacks on police posts occurred in January 1974 in an alleged attempt by supporters of the BCP to overthrow the government of the ruling BNP. The abortive coup d'etat resulted in the arrest, killing, imprisonment, or exile of many people. In March 1975, 15 BCP followers were found guilty of high treason. The struggle against the Jonathan government continued through the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the Lesotho Liberation Army (LLA), the military arm of the BCP in exile, claiming responsibility for periodic bombings in Maseru, ambushes of government officials, and attacks on police stations. The Lesotho government charged South Africa for allowing the LLA to use its territory as a base of operations. South Africa, which completely surrounds Lesotho, accused Jonathan of harbouring ANC militants.
In 1985, South Africa stepped up its destabilization activities, conducting a commando raid and aiding antigovernment elements. On 1 January 1986, South Africa imposed a near-total blockade of Lesotho that resulted in severe shortages of food and essential supplies. On 20 January, a military coup led by. General Justin Metsing Lekhanya overthrew the government. All executive and legislative powers were vested in the king, acting on the advice of a six-man military council and political activity was banned. In 1990, after the king refused to agree to the dismissal of several senior officers, Lekhanya sent Moshoeshoe II in exile. Later, a new law was approved providing for a constitutional monarchy but barring Moshoeshoe from the throne, and Moshoeshoe's son – King Letsie III- was elected king by an assembly of chiefs.
In April 1991, rebel army officers staged a bloodless coup, forcing Lekhanya to resign and opening the way to a return to democracy. On 27 March 1993, the Basotho Congress Party won all 65 seats in the Assembly and formed a government under Prime Minister Dr. Ntsu Mokhehle. The BCP offered to nominate four BNP members but only one opposition politician accepted. Several cabinet members were appointed from opposition ranks. Mokhehle faced a military mutiny in January 1994, which quelled after three weeks of sporadic fighting. At the end, the military agreed to a Commonwealth-brokered deal for negotiations with the government.
In July 1994, Mokhehle appointed a commission of inquiry to investigate the dethroning of King Moshoeshoe II in 1990. King Letsie III was angered by this move. He dissolved parliament, dismissed the government and suspended sections of the constitution. The action was widely condemned outside Lesotho, and the king had to capitulate returning the throne to his father. King Moshoeshoe died in a car crash two years later, and his son was re-elected by the Council of Chiefs.
In the 1998 elections, the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) won 78 of the 80 seats of the National Assembly. Protesters in Maseru claimed the vote had been rigged. Defeated candidates filed protests at the High Court, asking for a recount. As evidence of irregularities began to emerge, popular unrest grew, with the King refusing to intervene. A commission led by South African Pius Langa studied the ballot returns and declared the elections valid, which did not stop people's anger. At the end, in September 1998, South Africana and Botswana troops entered Maseru to restore peace. Peacekeepers remained in the country to the end of 1999, with a number of military advisers remaining longer to train the Lesotho Defence Force, with the aim of making it a more professional and less politicized army.
Political life remained troubled, with the different bodies unable to reach a consensus on reforms. General elections were finally called in May 2002. The LCD won once again and Prime Minister Mosisili was sworn in for a second five-year term. Once again, in 2007 the electorate awarded a good majority to the LCD, even though the government had been accused of corruption and more than one minister had been demoted on charges of incompetence and corruption.

John Wilson's salute to Hollywood
CONDUCTOR and composer John Wilson begins a UK tour with his orchestra at Birmingham's Symphony Hall on Monday.
Having recently released That's Entertainment, an album of tunes from MGM film musicals, John promises an evening of music from Hollywood's Golden Age.
When did you get involved with the old film scores?
Around ten or 12 years ago. I formed my orchestra in 1994 and we were always looking for things to play. It was always in that idiom, film music of the 1930s and 1940s, and right at the top of the tree were those MGM films. They represent the summit of composers writing for orchestras. I then had to spend a lot of time finding out who owned the copyright to those scores. I eventually found out all the scores had been destroyed in 1969, and used as landfill in a golf course. I think it's one of the greatest acts of cultural vandalism ever. The Wizard Of Oz, High Society and Singin' In The Rain were all in there: Shocking. In the University Of Southern California there were documents of some piano scores and from those I was able to put some together. We did our first concert in 2002, after starting work on them in 2000. Largely though, I transcribed by ear.
Which came first, your love of film or music?
Music, really. And that's still my main passion. I don't really like stage musicals. I've been to about four in my life, the last being in about 1988. That was Brigadoon.
Have you got a favourite musical?
I think My Fair Lady, which is basically the Marriage Of Figaro of the 20th century. It's a faultless classic, and as well as the songs being perfect, they also push the narrative forward.
Have you got a favourite musical score you've worked on?
Singin' In The Rain, because it's a great movie, and The Wizard Of Oz.
