One of my favourite things to do is go for long walks in the bush. Walking heightens your senses and gives you a completely different perspective as opposed to being in a vehicle. We're often driving and trying to find amazing sightings and sometimes we can forget to simply stop and take it all in. Yesterday a few of us rangers woke up earlier than usual and set off to walk the northern parts of Londolozi. Whilst waiting for first light, we sat on the hood of the Land Rover sipping on some hot coffee we'd brought along and told stories. As the sun came up we put our feet on the ground and began our small adventure.
If it's honey you are in search of, this is not the team to find it for you – we could still use a bit of practise in following honeyguides.
One thing that you cannot appreciate as much from the safety of the vehicle is how much a part of the bush you truly feel when you walk. We were aware of every rustle in the bush, caused by francolin to rhino; we snacked on the fruits of trees and bushes that our trackers had taught us were edible and we wandered through areas that we never knew existed on Londolozi. This was once a way of life for most people who lived out here. My mind then began to wander. In too many instances to describe, man has removed himself from nature, only to seek it out every now and again, and sometimes not even at all. But before my mind could take me too far down that road, I recognized a bird call that reminded me that some have not yet lost their relationship with nature. The call was short and shrill "vic-tor…vic-tor…vic-tor", that of a Greater Honeyguide – a bird so named because of stories across Africa where these birds have led people to honey.
We desperately tried to find the honeyguide, in the hope that we would be able to experience this for ourselves, to no avail. But there are places in Africa where these birds talk, and where people actually listen. In fact, in East Africa and parts of Northern Mozambique, it is known that honeyguides live up to their names and direct people toward bee-hives, which contain the sweet honey that a select few seek out. Local hunters and gatherers have been known to whistle a unique call which attracts the honeyguide, and the bird then calls as it flies toward the closest bee-hive, enticing its human follower along. Once a hive has been found, the honey is extracted by humans and the honeyguides feed on the beeswax, which they have great affinity for, but cannot reach on their own – a great example of mutualism between man and a completely wild bird.
This behavior shown by honeyguides was thought to have been lost in areas where (as a result of modern synthesized sugar) there was no need to obtain honey. But a recent article in the journal Science showed that the use of a call uttered by local Mozambicans more than tripled the probability of finding honey in the field! This has even been seen in areas where honeyguides have not been followed for many years. What makes this incredible is that newly fledged chicks would not yet have had the opportunity to "learn" this behavior from their "guiding" parents. This suggests a deeply embedded inherent trait.
There are now so many other ways of harvesting honey and synthesising sugars, that many have thought that the relationship between humans and honeyguides had disappeared. However, recent studies have shown that this relationship could still exist.
Although our unforeseen honey expedition didn't quite work out by just expecting the bird to simply take us there, it was an opportunity to look into a unique relationship between man and wild bird. Does this relationship still exist in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve and surrounding areas? The relationship between honeyguides and man has not been exercised here for nearly 30 years, but I'd like to believe it could still exist.
I remember as a child in Rhodesia, my father and a guide following a honey guide. He said it was an amazing experience. They did find honey!
Nice article Shawn. Mother Nature surely is an amazing woman. Animals are really incredibly smart. Man and bird work together for their common good. From what I hear, bee stings are a good thing and some people even subject themselves to bee stings for various ailments. Thanks for this interesting and thought provoking blog. One thing you mentioned that is absolutely true – humans have lost their way when it comes to nature and the surroundings – a walk in the bush is the greatest thing and you see things you would never see while driving.

Q: ggplot2: Change color of background for geom_vline legend I'm trying to follow the code suggested in this post, but to no avail.
Specifically, I would like the legend associated with the red vertical line to have a white background.
Some toy data:
df1 <- data.frame(correlation = c(rnorm(1000, 0, 0.6), rnorm(1000, 0, 0.1)), type = c(rep("Real", 1000), rep("Permuted", 1000)))

corSig <- 0.24542

My code:
ggplot(df1, aes(correlation, fill = type)) +
    geom_density(alpha = .5) +
    geom_vline(aes(xintercept = signif(corSig, 2), linetype = 'FDR = .05'), colour = 'red') +
    theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = .5),
          plot.subtitle = element_text(hjust = .5),
          legend.title = element_blank(),
          legend.position = c(.8, .8),
          panel.background = element_blank()) +
    guides(linetype = guide_legend(override.aes = list(fill = "#000000"))) +
    ggtitle("Gene Expression Correlation", subtitle = paste(nrow(datExpr), "genes,", ncol(datExpr), "bulk sections")) +
    xlab("Correlation") +
    ylab("Density")

A: There doesn't seem to be a consistent solution for this issue (for me, at least) but I've got a solution here:
library(tidyverse)

df1 <- data.frame(correlation = c(rnorm(1000, 0, 0.6), rnorm(1000, 0, 0.1)), type = c(rep("Real", 1000), rep("Permuted", 1000)))

corSig <- 0.24542

ggplot(df1, aes(correlation, fill = type)) +
    geom_density(alpha = .5) +
    geom_vline(aes(xintercept = signif(corSig, 2), linetype = 'FDR = .05'), colour = 'red') +
    theme(
        plot.title = element_text(hjust = .5),
        plot.subtitle = element_text(hjust = .5),
        legend.title = element_blank(),
        legend.position = c(.8, .8),
        panel.background = element_blank(),
        legend.key = element_rect(colour = "transparent", fill = "transparent")) +
    ggtitle("Gene Expression Correlation", subtitle = paste(nrow(df1), "genes,", ncol(df1), "bulk sections")) +
    xlab("Correlation") +
    ylab("Density")

Fixed Gene Expression Correlation Plot
In short, I removed ...guides(linetype = guide_legend(override.aes = list(fill = "#000000")))... and added ...legend.key = element_rect(colour = "transparent", fill = "transparent"))...
Hopefully that helps!

«Сайго́н» — неофициальное название «легендарного» кафе в Ленинграде (Невский проспект, дом 49, Владимирский проспект, дом 2) при ресторане «Москва», место обитания «героев андеграунда», «непризнанной» и «гонимой» в позднесоветские годы (годы «застоя») «творческой интеллигенции», так называемых «неформалов». Сейчас в Санкт-Петербурге находится бар от создателей оригинального кафе, по адресу Рубинштейна, дом 1.

История
Здание гостиницы «Москва» на углу Невского и Владимирского проспектов было построено по заказу владельца А. М. Ушакова в 1880 году зодчим П. Ю. Сюзором. При гостинице работал ресторан, который и занял всю площадь, когда гостиницу закрыли. За рестораном сохранилось название «Москва».

Кафе при ресторане открылось 1 сентября 1964 года в виде безымянного заведения и вскоре получило народное название «Подмосковье»; «Сайгоном» заведение начали именовать позднее. Настенные росписи в кафе выполнил художник Евгений Михнов-Войтенко, занимавшийся в то время декоративным оформлением ресторана.

По соседству с «Сайгоном» находился его филиал — кафе «Эльф» (Стремянная ул., д. 9). Расположенный возле «Эльфа» сквер (на пересечении Стремянной улицы и Дмитровского переулка), получивший название «Эльфийский садик», также служил местом встреч «сайгоновцев».

Версии возникновения названия «Сайгон»
По словам литературного критика Виктора Топорова, своё название кафе получило так:Название «Сайгон» утвердилось, так как на момент открытия кафе была в разгаре война во Вьетнаме.

Посетители
«Сайгон» постоянно посещали Б. Смелов, С. Довлатов, И. Смоктуновский, Е. Михнов, Б. Гребенщиков, В. Цой, М. Науменко, К. Кинчев, Ю. Шевчук, М. Шемякин, Е. Рейн, А. Васильев, Дмитрий Викторов, Влад Соловьев, Ян Шварёв, Игнат Прибора
 и многие другие.

Современность
«Сайгон» был окончательно закрыт в марте 1989 года. В том же году, после ремонта, в помещении бывшего кафе открылся магазин итальянской сантехники, затем магазин аудиопродукции.

В 1990 году М. Шемякиным и Е. Рейном была предпринята попытка создать в бывшем «Сайгоне» мемориальный центр, но эта затея не увенчалась успехом.

В 2001 году в здании, построенном П. Ю. Сюзором, вновь открылась гостиница. Теперь это — отель Radisson SAS Royal hotel («Рэдиссон»). О былом «Сайгоне» здесь напоминает только мемориальная табличка, вывешенная на стенке гостиничного бара.

Цитаты
Первый раз о «Сайгоне» я услышал в 13 лет. Где-то году в семидесятом мне рассказывал о нём художник Арефьев. Он говорил, что есть такое место, где собираются «поэты с бородищами и глаза у них — аки сливы» и там они пьют кофе, стихи читают. И место это сейчас самое крутое. А попал я туда лет в 16. Познакомился с поэтом Даргомощенко и музыкантом Козловым из «Союза любителей музыки рок». Приблизительно тогда же увидел я и совсем юного Курёхина. В 1982 году я познакомился с Гребенщиковым. Живя на улице Софьи Перовской, он тогда каждый день ходил в «Сайгон» пить кофе.

У самого входа был небольшой барчик с коньячком и столики со стульями. Место это было элитное и напоминало подпольный книжный магазин. Там-то и собиралась солидная публика — поэты. Я сразу проходил дальше, где была молодёжь, серые круглые стойки, широкие подоконники и пластинки «из-под полы». Люди были с хайратниками, с холщовыми сумками с Демисом Руссосом и почти все — с флейтами. Стояли в очереди к Стелле, она лучше всех заваривала кофе.

Здесь публика была очень разношёрстная: хиппи стреляли на кофе — «аскали на прайс». В 80-х рядом обосновался рок-клуб — и в «Сайгоне» появились панки в своих забавных прикидах. Периодически были и драки — панков с гопниками. В одну из переделок «Сайгона» в конце зала появилось зеркало во всю стену. Все заговорили, что за этим зеркалом сидят кагэбэшники: всех снимают и всё записывают.

Я появился в «Сайгоне» где-то в начале 80-х, когда стал работать киномехаником в кинотеатре «Титан». Обычно мы с приятелем проводили обеденное время около «Сайгона». Рассматривали людей и милиционеров. Они всегда находились около «Сайгона», чтобы забирать тех, кто «не соответствовал». Гребень на голове, остроносые ботинки, обрезанный галстук, чёрные очки — всё это считалось неопрятным. Особенно старался оперотряд, набранный из комсомольцев и студентов. Бывало, что меня для выяснения личности забирали по три раза в день.

Помню забавный момент во время съёмок фильма «Взломщик», когда по сценарию меня должны были забирать от «Сайгона» в милицию. Но сцена была разыграна раньше, чем ожидалось. Камеры тогда были установлены в кинотеатре «Титан», и пока они настраивались, нас с помощником режиссёра принялись забирать по-настоящему. Спасти нас удалось только директору картины, которая предъявила все возможные документы. Я знал, что в КГБ на меня есть дело. Раньше, говорят, был целый отдел, который занимался «Сайгоном».

Через «Сайгон» прошли все — люди совершенно разных профессий, убеждений и образа жизни. Здесь всегда что-то происходило. Ведь когда накладывается запрет, человек делает всё наоборот. Как ни странно, но я хотел бы, чтоб вернулись те времена. Ведь сейчас, к сожалению, всё можно.

«Сайгон» (кафе от ресторана «Москва») сейчас стал центром притяжения наших доморощенных «хиппи», панков и прочей плесени, но это выверты прежде всего другого рода…

Building on more than 75 years of groundbreaking achievements that shape policy, education and services around the world.
At Berkeley Public Health, we take pride in our rigorous transdisciplinary research into the determinants of health and our groundbreaking achievements that shape policy, education and services around the world. Our faculty and students drive action that improves health outcomes for communities, locally and globally.
Our focus on translational research ensures that the health research knowledge we generate has a direct impact on the public. Translating research into practice to benefit communities is integral to our mission: within our school, among our colleagues across the Berkeley campus, and with our collaborators around the world. We seek to foster collective research efforts that have the greatest population health impact, which fundamentally requires studying health equity for the most vulnerable in our communities, accounting for global change, and identifying research and practice methods with the most effective and far-reaching impacts.
The determinants and consequences of global changes profoundly shape population health. Many of these changes have long been underway, including climate change, food systems transformations, infectious disease pandemics, and population changes such as migration, urbanization and aging.
Through efforts from community-based research to environmental sciences to global policy initiatives, our world-renowned faculty and students understand that public health challenges often follow these changes and require collaborative, interdisciplinary methods to mitigate the resulting consequences.
Health and Inequality
At Berkeley Public Health, we recognize that health outcomes do not exist in a vacuum. In and outside hospital walls, inequality is a defining issue of our time and has a profound impact on health.
Our faculty and students conduct research that emphasizes the social determinants of health—how factors like socioeconomic status, racism and place determine susceptibility to certain diseases and conditions—and how to use this knowledge to help communities implement changes that foster equality and social justice.
Data Science and Technology
Unlocking the truth behind infectious disease pandemics, social determinants of health, antibiotic resistance and other public health concerns often requires harnessing big data and technological innovation.
Our faculty and students lead in methodological research integrating machine learning and causal inference, as well as high-dimensional biology like genomics and neuroimaging. We invest in these cutting-edge tools to make quantum advances in public health interventions for the unique circumstances of individuals, families and their communities.
Racism and Public Health
Berkeley Public Health is committed to research that reveals how racism drives systemic inequities within the health sciences.
Go to the Research on Racism and Public Health page
It is essential that we work with the community at large—locally, nationally and internationally—to address pressing public health needs and challenges. By engaging directly with stakeholders across a variety of sectors, our faculty and students produce transformational, community-based research that promotes actionable, sustainable and positive change.
We collaborate with practitioners, policy makers and community groups by integrating their expertise in the development, implementation and assessment of our public health interventions. Our faculty and students cultivate relationships that produce meaningful outcomes and best practices for community-engaged scholarship.
Community Action Team
Our Community Action Team was developed to quickly serve our local communities in times of crisis on both a local and national scale. The team, comprised of members from diverse student, faculty, and staff groups, aims to tap into the wellspring of activism and leadership that defines who we are.
If you are an organization in need of immediate assistance or if you are a current member of the UC Berkeley community and would like to join us in our efforts, please reach out to us at EngageSPH@berkeley.edu.
Go to the Community Action Team page
Our students have countless opportunities to dive into the world of research and practice through our diverse array of centers and programs. Led by our prestigious faculty, these centers address a wide variety of issues, including health and societal problems like alcohol abuse, population and family planning, health technology, STD prevention, infectious diseases, emergency preparedness, healthcare markets, and traffic safety.

Q: C#.net XMLSocket app I'm trying to make a C#.net app connect to a server using the XMLSocket protocal, I can do it with the following VB.net code but i'm not sure how to do it in C# as i'm just now learning it.
Public Sub connect(ByVal host As String, ByVal port As Integer)
        Try
            mobjClient = New TcpClient(host, port)
            mobjClient.GetStream.BeginRead(marData, 0, 1024, AddressOf DoRead, Nothing)
            DisplayText("Connected to " & host & " On port " & port)
        Catch
            MarkAsDisconnected("Connection error.")
        End Try
    End Sub

    Public Sub Send(ByVal t As String, Optional ByVal disp As Boolean = True)
        Try
            Dim w As New IO.StreamWriter(mobjClient.GetStream)
            w.Write(t & Chr(0))
            w.Flush()
            If disp = True Then
                'DisplayText(t)
            End If
        Catch
            DisplayText("Error Sending!")

A: All of your code can be trivially converted to C#.
If you need help, you can try an automated converter like this one or ask a more specific question.
Tips:

*

*The C# equivalent of Chr(0) is '\0'.

*params is a C# keyword; you'll need to rename that variable.

Here's some news that will open the eyes of many people over the persistent problems of land casinos. The final balance of the year 2009 for the Nevada casinos is a disaster. Listing over 260 casinos, the loss amounted to almost 7 billion dollars (June 2008-June 2009). A loss all the more impressive shows and proves that the rise of online casinos.
The famous Avenue "Strip Boulevard," which normally attracts a multitude of players, a loss of over 4 billion dollars. It contributes to over half of the loss caused. If we compare this year 2009 with the preceding, we include 686% loss since the year 2008 had brought more than 700 million dollars. The difference is surprising in one year.
The competition is very fierce in the U.S. and the opening of gambling in neighboring states greatly inflame certain regions. As we all know, the economic crisis especially America is not there to help gambling, quite the contrary since it draws from many schools in the fall.
However, we note a slight increase, only 3% of the sale of liquor. A sale in which a group of casinos are not very proud. Players tend to drown their problems in drinking games.
The land casinos have had to let some employees of the institution to a minimum, do not collapse like many other casinos. There almost 16.000 redundancies during the period June 2008 to June 2009.
The recent loss of casinos in Nevada date back to 2003 because they had incurred losses of $ 35 million. However, losses in 2009 are much more impressive.
The head of a casino to declare that 2010 will help recover losses caused in 2009. We wish him.


When is gets down to it, someone has to ride the bulls and the broncs in a rodeo. One of the best, actually the best, is BJ Schumacher.
BJ is currently the world champion bull rider and we'll see him in action tonight at the Three Hills Rodeo here in Green Bay, WI.
I talked to BJ about how and why he got involved with rodeo. He started at about 9 years old and learned it all from "the old man." He says you just have to accept the fact that you're going to get hurt too.
Thanks to Gene Hemphill for taking some pics of me, for me.

Hawks guard Malcolm Delaney is donating more than 400 coats to schools in his hometown
The Baltimore native was moved to donate after students wore coats to keep warm in classrooms
Up Next From The Uplift

By Kelley D. Evans	@kelleysthrngrl
When Atlanta Hawks guard and Baltimore native Malcolm Delaney learned that former NFL linebacker Aaron Maybin was seeking donations of coats, gloves, hats, thermals and socks for students in his hometown, he swiftly answered the call.
"Aaron is the guy who sets the bar, and hopefully all of the other athletes — or don't even have to be athletes — can match, or just to open their eyes about the city," Delaney said.
As students brave rough winter weather, wearing coats in classrooms no warmer than 40 degrees, Delaney has decided to donate more than 400 coats. The Burlington department store chain was moved by Delaney's gesture and offered to donate an additional 200 coats to two other local schools.
"I grew up in Baltimore City Public Schools, and I knew exactly what he [Maybin] was talking about," Delaney said. "It just sparked something, and I was just going to do something. Growing up in the city, I had friends who didn't have coats and I have been in situations where I had to wear my coat to class because of the cold. Fortunately, Burlington heard my idea and they felt that they wanted to match my donation, and instead of one school we got three schools. They came through, and the principals to all these schools were open to take something out of the coats."
Delaney wanted to make sure to make a direct impact. To put his plan into action, he contacted his agency and his best friend, Desman Thomas. For Delaney, having a team and being in a position to help children is probably one of the most important things after family.
"I heard that the kids needed so many different things, and then the reports came out about space heaters and then some schools said they couldn't even use the space heaters, so Desman is that guy who let us know exactly what they needed."
The recipients of Delaney's donations include Gardenville Elementary (Delaney's alma mater), Afya Charter Middle School and Harford Heights Elementary.
Delaney said having the opportunity to give back to children in his hometown is "very gratifying."
"I always did stuff, and I always thought that if I made it I would always give back because there weren't a lot of guys before me who I could say actually helped me or my friends out in the process of trying to achieve our goals. So me making it and having the ability to do it, I try my best to do it, and just having people around me that are on the same page with me and they're just as passionate about it as me is easy to do, 'cause Baltimore city is very tough with picking the right team."
Delaney is also passionate about the school system as a whole.
"I think just the attention needs to be paid more to the structure of these schools," he said. "We've got a lot of schools that aren't in good condition, so I think that's something that needs to be addressed. And the heating system and the air conditioning, that needs to be priority. I also think the kids should be comfortable going to school, and it's already enough to have to deal with an inner city of Baltimore, period, but once you add into consideration that some of these kids don't even have coats to go to school, and once they get to school that there's no heat, that just makes the learning environment a lot tougher. So I think just addressing this problem is a start, and then after that I think, you know, we still got to beat up the Baltimore city school system and try to get some more things done, because we might have one."
Delaney played professionally overseas after college for teams including Élan Chalon, Budivelnyk Kyiv, Bayern Munich and Lokomotiv Kuban. In 2016, he earned an All-EuroLeague first-team selection.
Delaney signed with the Atlanta Hawks on July 15, 2016, and made his NBA debut in the team's season opener in October that year.

420 with CNW — Groundbreaking Study Finds CBD Doesn't Cause Driver Impairment While THC's Impact Fades Quickly
December 7, 2020 04:25:03
A landmark study has found that cannabidiol (CBD) doesn't trigger driver impairment when taken in small doses while the impairment caused by THC fizzles out in just a matter of hours.
The researchers based at Sydney University in Australia concluded that when drivers consume small amounts of THC, which trigger intoxication similar to that experienced by an individual who takes alcohol resulting in a 0.05 percent blood alcohol level, the impairment of their driving competence faded within four hours after consumed the dose of marijuana.
This study comes at a time when many people are concerned about the likely effects of the increasing legalization of cannabis, either for medicinal or recreational purposes.
For example, opponents of legalization keep insisting that cases of cannabis-impaired driving will increase, but the lack of concrete evidence to that effect waters down their arguments.
Similarly, medical cannabis patients constantly worry that they could be prosecuted for impaired driving days after they consumed their medicine if metabolites are detected in their blood during a roadside test.
The Sydney research helps to reassure all concerned, especially those users the substance, that they are unlikely to endanger anyone on the road as long as wait several hours after consuming the small dose of THC-rich medical marijuana.
To quantify the impact of cannabinoids upon drivers, the scientists divided the study participants into four groups. Each group was then requested to vaporize a different cannabis blend. One blend mainly had THC, another contained mainly cannabidiol, a third product was composed of a mix of those two cannabinoids, while the fourth product was a placebo with hardly any cannabinoids.
For all blends having the two main cannabinoids being studied, the concentration was capped at 13.75 mg.
All participants then had to drive (twice) 100 km on a highway in the Netherlands. The first drive was initiated 40 minutes after the participants had vaporized the blend, while the second round of driving took place four hours later. Each driver had a licensed instructor observing them throughout the trip.
A barrage of data was collected from the drivers in a laboratory. For example, the concentration of cannabinoids in their blood was measured, as was their cognitive performance. During the driving test, each participant was observed to see the extent to which their vehicle drifted outside their specific assigned lane. This is a common metric used to track impaired driving.
The study indicates that for the drivers who had taken the small dose of CBD, no signs of impairment were detected during either of the driving tests. However, individuals who consumed the product containing THC exhibited mild levels of impairment similar to what would be seen in a person whose blood alcohol level was 0.05%.
Four hours later, the THC group of study participants didn't exhibit any sign of impairment, and their blood tests showed that the cannabinoid had tapered off.
It is interesting to observe that the researchers noticed that, unlike what happens when people take impairment-inducing amounts of alcohol, those who took THC appeared to be aware of their diminished driving abilities as they revealed that they felt less confident while taking to the wheel.
This study is one of the first to provide verifiable data about the impact of small doses of CBD and THC on drivers but shouldn't be relied upon to indicate what could happen when bigger doses of these compounds are consumed.
Many companies have come up to make a variety of cannabis products, and those companies are thriving. One of the notable firms in this regard is The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ: WTER) (CSE: WTER). Its innovative electrolysis process has helped the company establish a strong reputation for its bottled and perfectly balanced alkaline water, as well as its CBD-infused products.

They're affectionate. Kissing, hugging, touching—according to Gretchen Rubin, who spent a year trying dozens of pleasure-boosting strategies while writing The Happiness Project, these behaviors were key. Of all the things she tried in an effort to bring more joy to her daily life, creating an atmosphere of tenderness among family and friends made the biggest difference. Connection, both physical and emotional, is the major determinant of happiness, she says.
They hang out with happy people. Just as smiles are contagious, so is the general spirit of happiness, according to a 20-year study published in the British Medical Journal. Researchers have found that good vibes tend to spread quickly within social networks, infecting everyone with a more positive attitude. All the more reason to join your work pals at the next happy hour outing!
They strive. Although there's a fine line between satisfaction and stress, Rubin found challenge to be another significant driver of happiness. Having a personal goal and pushing toward it provided individuals with a sense of growth and accomplishment, she says.
They smile a lot. We saved our favorite secret for last: This simple gesture is actually contagious. Even if you force a smile, most people (strangers included) will respond positively and smile back, creating more happiness all around, note researchers who've made a science out of exploring what smiles mean.


This post is in honor of To Mama with Love, part of a collaborative online art project that honors moms across the globe and raises funds to invest in remarkable women who create hope in our world. Thanks to Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, who encouraged me to take part.
Mother's Day's a tricky one. I'm so proud to be a mother, and so in love with my children. But there's also the hole where my own mother is supposed to be.
After raising her three daughters, my mother began taking classes in writing for children at the New School in New York. She loved everything about that class: the opportunity to help others with their stories, the teacher's feedback on her work, time spent talking with classmates before and after.
And she was good. Really, really good. She worked very hard. And she improved. So she was gooder still.
Her teacher recognized her talent by suggesting that my mother send her first novel, The Morning Glory War, to her editor. My mother did.
She sent it to one editor. And it was accepted.
Most readers of this blog will not require further elaboration on this point.
I still remember that phone call in 1989. I was working at Emerson College in Boston. My mother couldn't believe she had an offer on her book. I could. I wasn't even surprised.
I am grateful that she had a day to listen to an editor at a lofty New York City publishing house praise her wonderful writing.
She died two months later: a sudden, wholly unexpected death. People always wonder–she was hit by a car while on the sidewalk around the block from our home in Whitestone, New York.
It happened before she even received an editorial/revision letter.
Which left that work to my family and me. While we understood the task at hand, we also wanted to leave everything intact. It broke our hearts to even entertain changing a word. Those were HER words. (The poor editor!) Somehow, we made it through that emotionally charged revision process.
All these years later, we have the book, this miraculous book, based on my mother's childhood in Brooklyn. My children, born many years after my mother died, have read this book and know their grandmother in a way I would have never been able to convey. They know her voice. They know things about her relationship with her best friend. They have glimpses into her sense of humor, and her sense of justice. For my daughter, that book is something of a touchstone, a tangible thing to reach for when she needs it.
As I prepared to write this post, a time that coincided with the launching of this blog, I kept returning to an interesting fact: I am surrounded by echoes of my mother. My writing friends, more than any others, reflect her back at me.
This Mother's Day, I will be thinking of my mother's book and of my own. I will be missing my mother, as I do every day.
I would like to put copies of my mother's book, The Morning Glory War, into the hands of interested readers. If you would like to receive one of two copies I'll be giving away, please indicate interest in your COMMENT. Winners will be selected randomly.
Other mother/author/advocates will be joining this special celebration all week. Check out these stunning posts by Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, Sheela Chari, Kelly Starling Lyons, Sayantani DasGupta and look for a future posts by Jennifer Cervantes.

p.s. I would like to win the book, but if I don't I'm getting it anyway.
I am an Interested Reader.
P.S. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm going to call my mom now.
I'm so grateful for all the love you've poured into this piece, and that she so clearly poured into you. I'm in tears.
I'm the creator of To Mama With Love, and I believe with all my heart that love like yours, and hers, changes everything.
We'll be sharing your post on the site at http://www.ToMamaWithLove.org soon.
Stacy–you made ME cry. Thanks for taking the time to comment here.
You have brought me to my knees.
You are surrounded by echoes of your mother, but you also MAKE echoes. Like throwing a stone in a river: you, your children, your books, this post about your mother, your posts/essays/words about life as you see it… they are all echo-circles of her. Ever expanding and flowing.
I agree with Tam–you honor your mother in so many ways just by being who you are!
I am going to retweet your link to this in an attempt to make the whole internets cry.
Srsly, a gorgeous post. I knew you should have a blog.
You owe me a cup of tea, because mine's all salty now. I hope this Mother's Day you'll feel your mom's presence as she stands beside you, beaming (and probably wearing those daring earrings). I'd be honored to read her book, and happy to pass it on to another one of your friends when I'm done.
Yes, I would love to include Judy's piece of art in my library. Your mother will always hold a special place in my heart….she had such grace.
Audrey, thank you for this post. I love how your mother's determination and commitment led your way in life, though she wasn't here physically to complete that mission. She should be here to celebrate your book. We will just have to do that for her. Have a fantastic Mothers' Day.
I there's so much I don't know about you and your beautiful family. But I'm so happy I got to share in these treasured memories of your mom. I will order my own copy of the Morning Glory War and free up my entry for another anxious reader.
Beautiful story and a wonderful tribute to your mother. I love the idea of your words and her words, echoing.
And I know what you mean about missing her every day….
What a stunning tribute! You made me cry. How wonderful that you have this book to keep your mother's voice alive, and how wonderful that you could revise it for her and help in the process of giving her that voice. As hard as it must have been–what a precious burden!
My father-in-law was a blue-collar man. I never saw him read a book. But when news of my first book contract came out, he was thrilled. Long before the book's release date, he started calling Barnes & Noble every couple of weeks to demand a copy. Their patient explanations made no difference to him.
Of all my relatives, he was the one most taken with the simple idea of seeing my name in print. He couldn't wait for it to happen so that he could brag about it to all his friends. Then, seventeen days before my husband was due to fly home and present him with his very own galley, he died. After eight years, that still breaks my heart.
Sometimes, what brings us closest to loved ones isn't memories of shared experiences. It's shared desires–the longings that we feel and long for too. It doesn't matter, in the end, that my father-in-law didn't see my book. What means the world to me is how much he wanted to.
I wanted to wait until the end of the day to read this because I knew it would make me cry . . . but I couldn't wait. Now I am crying at work! It's so lovely, Audrey. I can only assume that your connection to your mom has much to do with why you are such a good mother yourself. I feel lucky to witness (from afar) the second of the mother-daughter (and son) relationships in your life, and to use it as a model.
You guys! Your responses here, every one of them, have touched my heart. Thank you.
Happy Mother's Day to you cousin and hugs. Your words are very touching. Although nope, didn't cry….. not much of a cryer. I think I have a copy of that book in my closet. I'm going to look for it, when I have a free second…..
Your mom was a great lady, a lovely aunt to have. I'm sure she always was very proud of you and would be oh so proud now.
Hugs again, enjoy your mother's day with your family. I'm looking forward to my mother's day with my kids and fiancee. It's always a special day.
No words. I have no words. Just so much love and gratitude for you, I could burst.
Audrey, thanks for your beautiful essay. I lost my mother two years ago, and miss her every day. I'd love to be entered to win your mother's book.
Okay, so you have the ability to make people laugh until they can't breathe, and then turn around and share a tribute so tender that you bring us to tears? There really is nothing you can't do with words, Audrey. I'm so lucky to know you.
I'm Audrey's Uncle Steve and Judy's little brother (14 years younger). I, too, cried but also feel such satisfaction in Audrey's wonderful literature. I am probably the only person who saw Judy teach sixth graders. She taught P.S. 3 in Bedford-Stuyvesant in the 1950's. She was brilliant. I never understood why somebody who was so good at what she did gave up that career. It would have been a loss had Judy not left her mark on children with her delightful book. While I was born after the time depicted in "The Morning Glory Wars", the setting was where I grew up until I was eight years old and everything comes to life for me. My experiences watching her interact with some pretty tough inner city kids (all 4′ 11″ of her) must have had an impact as I taught mostly sixth grade for 27 years in the same school district. I am now hearing from my students on Facebook who are very flattering in their recollections of what I had contributed to their lives. My point, I guess, is that if we can leave great memories in children's minds we have spent our professional lives well.
Big, long, motherly, sisterly hugs to you, Audrey.
It's breathtakingly horrid that your mother died so young, when you were so young, when her book wasn't done yet, and that you and your family had to somehow make it work, even in your grief, and get the book to print. What a moving tribute to her. A lesser family would have folded.
I ordered your mom's book — can't wait to read it. I will cherish it. Though I'm grateful you shared this, I wish it was just a sad YA novel and not your life.
It does reinforce one thing I have long felt was true: The funniest people have lived through tragedy.
And of course, life is unfair. So is death.
Audrey, Your beautiful words will bless everyone who reads them. Thank you for sharing your mom's incredible life and legacy with us.
Touched deeply. I would like to post a photo of my Mother here….she's been foremost in my mind all week.
Maybe I'll place sweet photos of her tomorrow on my blog… Yes, I will!
Thank you for the Inspiration…all of you whose words I read above mine.
In tears now, feeling that familiar ache of missing my own mom 20 years ago. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute. Even if I do become a published author someday, I think that nothing will compare to the honor I felt in writing a tribute to my amazing mother for her funeral. I only hope I did her proud. I would love to win a copy of the book!
What a touching post — and a lovely legacy for your family! I'd love to win a copy of the book.
Audrey, there are no words for we kindred spirits. I remember your mother vividly, and how she allowed just 30 minutes of playtime and snack before we had to sit down and do some gruelling 3rd grade homework–and then return to playtime. I recall liking the "structure". As you have said, the power of a mother's written words–(although not elevated to the level of your mother's book) really do keep her alive in a way that a photo or possessions cannot duplicate. Thank you for being you, and for putting into words what most of us really cannot.
Announcing the randomly selected winners.
If I haven't contacted you yet, please contact me with your address so I can send you a copy of THE MORNING GLORY WAR.

VIDEO: Yayoi Kusama at Victoria Miro Gallery |Art Basel Miami Beach
Walking past the Victoria Miro gallery booth at Art Basel Miami Beach, it is impossible to miss the Yayoi Kusama sculpture right at the entrance. Intrigued by the colorful work we entered the gallery, and there we saw it – the rich red and antique gold painting by Yayoi Kusama. Glenn Scott Wright, Director of Victoria Miro Gallery talked to galleryIntell about the painting and Yayoi Kusama's influence on the commercial art world through the Marc Jacobs / Louis Vuitton collaboration in particular. The luxury fashion label showcased Kusama's work in 450 stores worldwide, collaborating with the artist on the design installations in 1600 Louis Vuttion retail windows. Her designs, mostly either polka dots or infinity nets, immediately engage the viewer. The colors that peep out from the negative spaces between curving, flowing lines lure the eyes to follow the pattern. Interestingly, in some places, she abruptly drops the flow of the pattern, only to restart it in a smooth caressing move with the next line.
El Anatsui at Jack Shainman Gallery
Kusama is one of Japan's most important contemporary artists. Her influences are many and varied – ranging from her childhood hallucinations to World War II, from her Japanese heritage to American culture. Earlier this year, she was the subject of a major retrospective organized by the Tate Modern, London. The exhibition traveled first from the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía tothe Centre Pompidou in Paris; from there to the Tate Modern in London, and finally to the Whitney Museum of Art in New York in the fall of 2012.
Full of hypnotic curves and seductive lines, the painting is obsessive in a way and contemplative in another. It is meditative in a way, and an art statement in another. What it most definitely is, viewed any way, is quintessentially Kusama!
Glenn Scott Wright: I'm Glenn Scott Wright, I'm the Director of the Victoria Miro gallery in London and we are at Art Basel Miami Beach, showing the work of a number of gallery artists, including Yayoi Kusama. This painting we have here is called "Petal God". This is a painting she did this year and this is an amalgamation of two themes she uses in her work – the infinity nets and the dots. So here you see both of them merging in this single painting. Kusama has just been the subject of a major retrospective organized by Tate Modern, which started last year at the Reina Sofia in Madrid then went to the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Tate Modern earlier this year and then the Whitney Museum in New York. The last exhibition finished just a couple of months ago. At the same time she's done this enormous collaboration with Louis Vuitton, which showcased her work all over the world in 450 stores with 1600 windows where she dressed the windows with her artwork. She's worked with a number of different motives and she's worked with painting, with sculpture, with performance, with sound even, so she is someone who has many strings to her bow, if you'd like. Two of the things that people always recognize with her are the infinity nets and the dots, and as I was saying earlier, you can see both of these coming together in this painting.

Houston Rockets guard Steve Francis was robbed last night by three armed thugs who held up a Harlem barshop, police said.
Francis was getting his hair cut at Danny & Mel's Unisex Salon at 2449 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd. about 8:30 p.m. when the bandits – one of them brandishing a gun – burst in.
They forced the 23-year-old Francis, along with two other men, into a back room and took several items of jewelry from them.
As they fled, one of them fired a warning shot into the air. No one was hit.
Francis, a Maryland native, was the NBA's co-rookie of the year last season. He was a first-round draft pick of the Vancouver Grizzlies – who dealt him to the Houston Rockets last summer.
Francis was a standout at the University of Maryland, where he guided the Terrapins to a NCAA Sweet Sixteen berth.


For those not involved in first-hand operations of a superyacht, uniform management may be pretty low on the list of priorities. But in reality, crew uniform management can cause many headaches on board. From sourcing new uniform for new crewmembers to excessive storage solutions, if not managed properly, it can create serious issues.
According to a survey of 644 crewmembers conducted by The Superyacht Intelligence Agency, 80 per cent said spare uniform for new crewmembers is stored on board. The trouble with this is that storage requirements are often such that there is simply no space on board the yacht. "We do offer off-the-boat inventory storage options," says Lyne. "This means that the crew will have on board what they need, we have a warehouse with their inventory and the boat orders what they need when they need it. The trouble really comes when owners want uniform that is visually exciting and, as a result, constantly want a different look, but there is nowhere to put it all." If there is an owner who likes to change the uniform on a regular basis, it's both highly expensive to buy and a nightmare to store.
According to a survey of 644 crewmembers conducted by The Superyacht Intelligence Agency, 80 per cent said spare uniform for new crewmembers is stored on board.
Of course, there are ways to recycle unused uniform on board, such as wearing old uniform on your downtime or cutting it up and using it as cleaning rags but, as Lyne explains, 'often crew don't have the authority to throw anything out', and that includes recycling and repurposing old uniform. So while there are options to cope with an abundance of redundant uniform, until the owner gives the all-clear, crewmembers have no real choice other than to store it on board or in a shore-based unit.
The Superyacht Intelligence Agency survey determined that 18.3 per cent of crew complained that often uniform is delayed because of being held up, customs, not completing orders within an emergency time frame or taking too long dealing with customised colour pallets.
While one of the most significant frustrations from the crew perspective may be delivery delays and the ordering process, it's the small changes from the owner and crew, who assume that the process is going to be a simple one, that also appears to be a main cause for delay.
Then, after finally getting hold of the uniform, how does one ensure that the upkeep is kept under control? There is a considerable amount of money invested in uniform. In fact, new uniform is a big part of the monthly budget, according to the survey, so there is no room for mistakes when it comes to general upkeep. "we're putting a huge focus on helping those on board maintain things correctly," explains Lyne. "We're working with boats to care for garments and ensuring that our knowledge is passed on to them so they can look after them properly." The important thing to remember is that the more difficult the general upkeep – such as having to deal with colourfast fabrics – the more of a nightmare it will be for the crew.
From the crew's perspective, the management and procurement of uniform has always been tricky to get right, from ordering to disposal. But as Lyne explains, it's about keeping the project on track, having a full understanding of how to care for the garments and having an effective storage solution, even if that means a shore-based option.


Kish was born in Orlando, Florida on May 10, 1990 to a family of African-American descent. She went to elementary school in Bergen County, New Jersey, but later returned to Orlando.
At age 18, Kish received a partial scholarship to go to Pratt Institute, New York. While taking a year off and working multiple jobs, she began establishing relationships and cultivating her New York experience. During this time she worked at a salon, as an intern, various night-life restaurants, and modeling gigs for numerous brands. Kish continued her education by enrolling into Fashion Institute of Technology (for textile design) and graduated in 2012.
Her musical pursuits began when her roommates Smash Simmons and Mel McCloud decided to set up an in-home studio and call the project the Kool Kats Klub. It was through this exposure that she initially met Matt Martians of the neo-soul duo The Internet and collaborated on The Jet Age of Tomorrow's "Want you Still" and The Internet's "Ode to a Dream".

What does Joe Biden's victory mean for Brexit?
The incoming president may slow trade talks with Britain but is unlikely to be a decisive factor in Brexit negotiations.

Voiced by artificial intelligence.
LONDON — Joe Biden's arrival in the White House will push the U.K. to work more closely with the EU — but won't be the thing that clinches a Brexit deal.
In Donald Trump, whose dream of a second U.S. presidential term was finally extinguished Saturday, Boris Johnson had found an enthusiastic supporter of a no-deal Brexit, willing to talk up the "special relationship" between Washington and London.
Biden becomes U.S. president-elect at a critical moment in Brexit talks, as negotiators enter the final weeks where agreement is possible if the U.K. is going to leave the transition period at the end of the year with a trade deal in place. Biden has long opposed Brexit and his Irish roots have sparked hopes in Ireland that he would take the Republic's side in any cross-border Brexit dispute.
"The bottom line is that Brexit is an act of self-isolation," Charles Kupchan, a former President Barack Obama official and now Biden adviser, told Times Radio on Sunday. "The United Kingdom alone does not cut a large figure on the international landscape, and as a consequence I do worry that, moving forward, whether the issue is Ukraine, or India, or China or Russia, the U.K. is going to have to figure out how to make itself relevant at a time when it is very inwardly focused. So the relationship between the U.S. and the U.K. will be fine. I'm just not sure it's going to matter that much."

There is optimism in Ireland that this new dynamic will work in its favor.
"Now that Joe Biden is going to be the next president of the United States, that will be a cause for, certainly, a pause for thought in No. 10, to ensure that Irish issues are prioritized as we try to close out this phase of the Brexit negotiation," Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney told RTÉ radio Monday. "The statements that have come — not only from Joe Biden but from many on Capitol Hill — that if the Good Friday Agreement and peace on the island of Ireland isn't protected through Brexit, that securing a trade deal between the U.S. and U.K. would be very, very problematic."
However, Sophia Gaston, director of the British Foreign Policy Group, said the impact of Biden's victory on the Brexit negotiations will be "minimal."
"The direct impact of the election outcome on the Brexit negotiations with the EU is overblown," she said. "I don't think there is any evidence to support the expectation that there is going to be an influence on the nature of these negotiations or its direction based on the outcome of the election."
Raoul Ruparel, a former Brexit adviser to Theresa May, agreed, noting that the government's Brexit approach is calibrated solely on its desire to protect the U.K.'s sovereignty. He said commentators pay too much importance to the leaders' personal affinities and backgrounds, and warned against jumbling together the Brexit vote in 2016 with Trump's victory that year, noting that Downing Street and Vote Leave "do not see both as part of the same phenomenon."
Even if there is a no-deal Brexit and the British government takes steps that breach the Good Friday Agreement, Ruparel argues, its breaching would be such a massive issue for British politics that what Biden does in retaliation or whether he holds a U.K.-U.S. trade deal to ransom "would be entirely irrelevant."
Ruparel also dismissed the idea that desire for a trade deal with Washington was the overriding driver of No. 10 policy.
"Different Brexiteers have different motivations," Ruparel tweeted on Saturday. "[Downing Street top aide Dominic] Cummings et al explicitly rejected the idea of running Vote Leave on a free trade/global Britain platform. A U.S. deal has never really mattered to his lot."
Closer ties to Europe
Downing Street has stressed the U.K. will maintain a very close relationship with the U.S. regardless of the election result.
But many analysts and former diplomats expect a Biden presidency will strengthen links with Germany and France. Gaston said this could have a significant impact on the Global Britain project, putting pressure on the U.K. to collaborate more closely with the EU in the first few years after Brexit.
"We know that one of Biden's core priorities will be to repair, to restore and to reinvigorate transatlantic relations, and by that he means Washington's relationships with Brussels," she said. "The special relationship will in many ways continue to be important but will actually be expressed as part of that broader strategic, regional objective for European regional security and cooperation. In some ways a Biden victory de-emphasizes the singular importance of the special relationship somewhat because the Biden team will be looking at transatlantic relations in the round."
Peter Ricketts, a former British diplomat and crossbench life peer, said the special relationship would continue to be important on defense and security, but in other areas Britain would be "less useful" to the U.S. administration. "When Biden looks towards Europe, he will see Paris and Berlin more as the center of gravity of what's really important for America in Europe," he said.
Nigel Farage, founder of the Brexit Party and a vocal supporter of Trump, agreed the U.K.'s influence in Washington would diminish under Biden. "Donald Trump is pro-British in a way that Joe Biden never was and will never be," he said. "A Biden victory means a return to the days of Barack Obama, when he flew to Berlin when he crossed the Atlantic rather than to London."
Trade brakes on?
A Biden victory could delay a U.K.-U.S. trade deal.
The Johnson government has worked intensively to secure an early agreement with Washington, which would allow the prime minister to deliver one of his main Brexit pledges: fostering international trade with partners other than the EU.
In his first month in Downing Street, Johnson and Trump spoke no fewer than 10 times about Brexit and world affairs, according to his office. The U.K.'s Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and International Trade Secretary Liz Truss have also visited Washington multiple times.
On the day before the U.S. election, the U.K.'s Department for International Trade stressed that "significant progress" had been made in talks with the U.S. and ministers were therefore "confident" that they were "on track for a comprehensive agreement" and "in a good position to move forward after the U.S. election."
Robert "Woody" Johnson, the U.S. ambassador in London, backed that assessment, telling the Daily Express that both negotiating teams still have to iron out "a few things" in the trade talks, but a deal can be done whoever wins. "That's because the potential of a U.S.-U.K. trade deal rises above politics — it just makes good common sense," he said.
However, longtime Biden friend Democratic Senator Chris Coons has been vocal in British media since the result was announced. On Sunday he said that the U.K.-U.S. trade deal is reliant on the outcome of Brexit trade negotiations. "These are interlocking concerns," Coons, co-chair and co-founder of the bipartisan Senate U.K. Trade Caucus, told Times Radio. "The timing of the resolution of the current issues between the U.K. and EU and the prioritization that could be given to a U.S./U.K. FTA have to speak to each other as it were," he said.
An adviser to the Biden campaign told the Telegraph the new president would not prioritize U.S.-U.K. trade talks in his first hundred days.
Many observers agree. They warn against expecting white smoke until early or mid-2021, with some warning it could be delayed by even two years under Biden. They say the sticking points in the trade talks with Washington — mostly around agriculture — will not go away with a Democrat in the White House.
"A Biden win means this will be a slower process. He will be domestic focused for the first year or two," said David Henig, director of the UK Trade Forum. "I don't think the U.K. is in any kind of special relationship with him. We'll have to learn to live with a fairly normal relationship and try to work out our place in the world."

Q: what would be the best method to override the validation of data in an mvc application I have a very large form I need the user to complete.  They need to be able to save their progress whether valid or not.  When they have come back at a later time, they can update and make valid - then submit the data.
I am using client side scripting (xval), server side attributes on the domain model.

A: One option for you is to have a [Save Draft] button which would go to a different Action SaveDraft() instead of Save(). By having a separate method, you can decide on the amount of validation you want on the Save operation. That I think is cleaner.
To have the same Save action decide whether to apply the amount of validatation logic would be harder to read and maintain.

A: I don't know much about xval, but maybe you can look into inheriting from xval attributes and doing the check there...
e.g. ConditionalRequiredAttribute : RequiredAttribute, which maybe can take the appropriate statuses to validate on.
Validation would be as simple as base.Validate() (or whatever it's called) on ConditionalRequiredAttribute's validate method if a validation condition is met (status != "Draft).
Since I don't know xval, I'm not sure how the client side validation works... does it create client side validation code? In this case, you'd have to write code that creates a similar wrapper in javascript (e.g. if(status != "Draft")...  If validation simply makes an Ajax call to the server that returns a list of errors, then I imagine that you wouldn't have to do anything else.
Sorry I couldn't answer your question directly, but maybe this can help you come up with some ideas...

A History of Service (Auburn Veterans)
Director: Tracy Rector • 2018 US Documentary Short • 4m 23s • World Premiere
Nearly 200,000 Native Americans are military veterans. It is well recognized that, historically, Native Americans have the highest record of service per capita when compared to other ethnic groups with the United Auburn Indian Community amongst the most. The reasons behind this disproportionate contribution are complex and deeply rooted in traditional culture. In many respects, often, there are distinctive cultural values which drive Indigenous people to serve their country. One such value is a proud warrior tradition.
In part, the warrior tradition is a willingness to engage in harsh conditions. This characteristic has been clearly demonstrated by the courageous deeds of hundreds of thousands Native Americans in combat. However, the warrior tradition is best exemplified by the following qualities said to be inherent to most if not all Indigenous societies: strength, honor, pride, devotion, wisdom, family and community.
Director Tracy Rector and Film Representative Alycia Ortiz will be in attendance

So this ADV release will be certain to make Dindrane's head spin a bit. It comes with character sketches, bios, artwork, and clean opening and closing animation. (Buy it)
Animation DVD of the Week: Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Vol. 2: (1942-1946). How many times do I have to tell you people? If it's a Walt Disney Treasures release, you buy it. Don't even ask questions. But if you must, yes, this is exactly what it purports to be: two discs featuring thirty-two classic Donald shorts (including the infamous WWII shorts), plus an episode of Disneyland featuring Donald, an interview with the current voice of Donald, a Carl Barks featurette, and more. (Buy it)
Brit DVD of the Week: The House of Eliott: Series 2. From the creators of Upstairs Downstairs comes this series about two sisters who run a fashion house in 1920s London. The two sisters are played by Louise Lombard and Stella Gonet. This Acorn Media release comes with all twelve episodes across four discs, an interview with Lombard and a photo gallery. (Buy it)
Adverse Video of the Week: Ghost in the Machine. A serial killer has an accident while en route to his next victim's house. While being treated in the hospital, a freak accident turns him into a being of pure energy…so he goes on a rampage as Zzzax! Wait, no, I got confused. He does go around causing havoc, though, which means it's up to the once-spared victim and a computer hacker to reboot his ass! Yeah! Or something. (Buy it)
Automotive Video of the Week: Streets of Legend. If you dig cars and dig street racing, then this release from Lions Gate is up your alley. Featuring real drivers doing real crazy shit on California streets, you get action through cameras stuck to the cars. Oh, wait, is there a plot? We were too busy waiting for another race without benefit of stunt folks. (Buy it)
Boxed Set of the Week: The Mummy Collector's Set. A lot of people don't care for Sommers' Mummy flicks. I'm one of them. But hey, if they're your thing, rock on with your bad self…and with this boxed set from Universal. Featuring all three Mummy-related flicks, the individual films come relatively stacked with commentaries, effects bits, deleted scenes and outtakes, and a scad and a half of featurettes. (Buy it)
Comedy DVD of the Week: The Bad News Bears. As far as remakes go, they certainly could have done a lot worse. Billy Bob Thornton is an inspired choice to take over the Walter Matthau role, and the good news is that the kids are just as foul as the original. So some kudos to Paramount are in order for not going too too far from the source material. Their DVD release is also a decent one, since it comes with a commentary by the director and writers, featurettes, outtakes and deleted scenes, and more. (Buy it)
Docu DVD of the Week: Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. Profiling one of the biggest bits of corporate skullduggery in history, this Magnolia Pictures release hits DVD–and for those who only know of the news story from the bits and pieces caught on the news while living their normal lives, it's a bit of a bombshell. Rare audio and video provides the backdrop for a look at the greed and devastation the company was all about. This release comes with a commentary with the writer/director, deleted scenes, a making-of, convos with the journalists who wrote the book this is based on, and more. (Buy it)
Foreign DVD of the Week: Pizza, Beer & Smokes. This Facets Video release brings this film from Argentina to your living room. It's Buenos Aires and gangs of hooligans (pop!) roam the streets looking for loot. Our hero (?) decides to pull one last job rather than lose his pregnant girlfriend, but of course things don't go as planned. Very bad things, rather than hijinks, ensue. (Buy it)
Music DVD of the Week: The Velvet Underground: Velvet Redux: Live MCMXCIII. I never knew the group had ever gotten back together again, but my music fu has never been up to the level of a T-Diddy or a Rob. So regardless, Rhino schools me with this live Paris concert from their reunion tour back from 1993. A nice plethora of tracks are here, including "Sweet Jane," "I'm Waiting for the Man," and "Heroin." (Buy it)
UMD of the Week: Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn. Folks that like to watch eyeballs flying across rooms, dismemberment, and buckets of gore while wandering about from place to place–namely you PSP types–will appreciate this release from Anchor Bay. The second chapter (well, second and part of the first since it kind of redoes the first film) is now available to be toted about on this lovely UMD release.
