Down on the Farm: 2-2 record, Happ and Hoerner homer, Maples impressive, more
by Dustin Riese - Senior Writer - Tuesday, April 23, 2019, 11:45 AM
The farmhands were undoubtedly ready to roll on the offensive end Monday night, as they put up 27 runs in four games. Although 25 runs game in three games, the Cubs had to settle for a 2-2 record as the pitching wasn't as strong as the hitting.
IOWA CUBS 5 – Oklahoma City Dodgers 8: Looking for the series sweep, the Cubs turned to Duane Underwood on the hill. His struggled continued as he allowed six runs in four innings en route to the 8-5 loss.
Offensively speaking, the Cubs continued to swing the bats well as the opened things up in the first inning. With one out, a Cristhian Adames single got things started before Ian Happ connected for his second homer of the season and 2-0 Iowa lead. Now with two outs, Johnny Field reached on an error before Jim Adduci played long ball again for his second in as many days as the Cubs led 4-0 heading into the bottom of the first.
Oklahoma City battled back in the bottom half of the first as they cut into four-run deficit. The long ball continued as Daniel Corcino tagged a two-run shot of his own to make it a 4-2 game. The Dodgers offense was just getting warmed up as they chased Underwood in the fourth inning. Corcino continued the comeback bid with a squeeze bunt bringing the Iowa lead to 4-3.
Following the Matt Beaty groundout to tie things up 4-4, Will Smith put the Dodgers in front for good with a single as Oklahoma City took the 6-4 lead. Beaty added to that lead with a solo homer in the sixth before the Cubs finally got back on the board in the seventh.
Down by three, Adames took it upon himself to bring things a little closer hitting his first homer of the season to cut things to 7-5. That was as close as the Cubs would get as Kyle Garlick took Brian Duensing deep in the seventh to help the Dodgers pick up the 8-5 win and avoid the sweep.
Iowa falls to 11-7 with the loss as their three-game winning streak came to an end. Adames picked up a pair of hits in the game while Happ tallied two RBI's on his one hit. Dillon Maples continued his resurgence on the hill tossing 1 1/3 innings of scoreless ball with zero walks and two strikeouts.

TENNESSEE SMOKIES 7 – Chattanooga Lookouts 6: All eyes were on the Smokies Monday night as Mike Montgomery took to the hill for his next stop on the recap tour. Monty lasted four innings allowing three runs on three hits with one walk and three punchouts.
The Smokies did their part to back him up in the first couple of innings as the Robel Garcia two-run shot in the first gave the Smokies an early 2-0 lead before Montgomery helped himself with a sacrifice bunt to put Tennessee up 3-0. That score held up until the top of the third when Jose Siri got to Montgomery for the three-run shot to tie things up 3-3.
It was the Lookouts helping Tennessee out in the fourth inning as an RBI groundout from Jhonny Pareda to bring home the go-ahead run before an error on the same play pushed across the second run to make it a 5-3 Tennessee lead. It was in the sixth inning when Chattanooga appeared to be grabbing the upper hand as Siri continued his strong game with a double before singles from Taylor Trammell, and Tyler Stephenson gave the Lookouts the 6-5 lead.
It was the Smokies who got the last laugh in this one taking things down to the final a bat. After Pareda evened the score up 6-6 through six, the Smokies came to bat in the bottom half of the seventh. A Jared Young single and P.J. Higgins walk put a pair of runners on base with two outs. Charcer Burks came through with the walk-off single to give the Smokies the 7-6 win.
TENNESSEE SMOKIES 2 – Chattanooga Lookouts 2: After their dramatic game one win, the Smokies needed to refocus as they had another game to play. This time, it was the Lookouts getting the last laugh as they managed to pick up the 4-2 win in game 2.
Early on it appeared like it may be another offensive game as both teams exchanged runs in the first inning. With Trammell giving the Lookouts the 1-0 lead, Nico Hoerner provided the big highlight of the night in the bottom of the first. Not only did Hoerner tie things up with a homer, but it was also the way it happened as he smoked it into the left-field corner to show off his wheels for an inside the parker and 1-1 tie.

Chattanooga struck again in the second as they took the lead for good off Thomas Hatch. Mitch Nay got things started by taking one for the team with the hit by pitch. Brantley Bell made Hatch pay for that mistake taking him deep for the two-run shot, and 3-1 Lookouts lead. Young got the Smokies a tad closer in the third with an RBI groundout as it was now a 3-2 game.
That score would hold up until the final inning when Chattanooga looked to add on. A Chris Okey single brought home Bell to push things to 4-2 before the Smokies fell in the bottom of the seventh. With the split, the Smokies now sit at 9-7 on the season.
MYRTLE BEACH PELICANS: Off
SOUTH BEND CUBS 13 – Lansing Lugnuts 10: Pitching was a no show on Monday as the Cubs, and Lugnuts provided the fans with an offensive fireworks display. It took a while to get rolling, but eight runs in the seventh and eighth innings forced extras before the Cubs plated four to seize control for the win.
Braylin Marquez was roughed up for the first time on the season allowing four runs in 4 2/3 innings of work. He did manage to strike out six hitters showing his dominating stuff at times. Down 3-0 through four innings, Rafael Narea got the Cubs on the board in the top of the fifth with an RBI double to make it a 3-1 game. A D.J. Neal homer in the bottom half chased Marquez as the Lugnuts led 4-1 through five.
That is when both offenses began to come to life as the Cubs got rolling in the seventh. With the bases loaded, Cole Roederer singled home both Tyler Durna and Eric Gonzalez to cut things to 4-3. Andy Weber put the Cubs in front 6-4 with his first homer of the season as the Cubs were rolling.
Lansing retook the lead in the bottom of the seventh as Alejandro Kirk and Jordan Groshans started the Lugnuts rally. Jake Brodt capped off that rally with his first homer of the season and just like that it was 7-6 Lansing. Eight inning hits from Gonzalez, and D.J. Artis put the Cubs up 9-7 before the combination of Groshans and Brodt evened the score in the bottom of the eighth 9-9 to help send the games to extras.
It was in the 10th when South Bend not only took control but broke out the bats in a big way. Already with the bases loaded and just one out, Artis delivered the knockout blow with a bases-clearing double to put South Bend up 12-9. Artis advanced to third on the throw which proved to be beneficial as Roederer brought him in with a sacrifice fly for the 13-9 Cubs lead.
With just three outs to work with, the Lugnuts refused to go down without a fight. A Reggie Pruitt leadoff single combined with the one-out double from Groshans cut the Cubs lead down to 13-10. That would be all Lansing could put together as Otto Lopez, and Brodt struck out to end the game.
With the win, the Cubs move back above .500 at 9-8. Despite being out hit 17-12, the Cubs made those hits count as the top three hitters of Artis, Roederer, and Weber combined for nine RBI's with each of them picking up three apiece. Christopher Morel and Artis led the way with three hits apiece, while six others added one hit each. Gonzalez also added two RBI's of his own.
That was wild. ??#FlyTheW pic.twitter.com/cISCyluMle

What will the Tennessee Smokies look like on Opening Day?


The Democrats are not the only ones who can't let this 'Collusion' thing go. As Democrat-lead Congressional committees gear up for endless investigations of political opponents Republicans must feel left out. Rep. Devin Nunes is reportedly preparing criminal referrals to the DOJ for a number of Clinton-connected operatives.
President Trump has called for an investigation into the actors behind the witch hunt but that was never necessary. Nunes, who has been a go-to guy for commentary throughout the Mueller probe probably had it worked out long ago. He was just waiting for the report to drop.
The Mueller Report Honeymoon is already over. The left is moving on to feed the media narrative. But they won't be alone.
Given the number of violations by Democrats operatives for Clinton, exposed and ignored in the course of the Mueller investigation, this will prove to be a much more interesting ride. If a special prosecutor is assigned, they will need to survive the blistering abuse they will receive from Democrats and the press. There will be a massive crowd-sourced discrediting campaign. Not to mention the complete lack of air cover that Mueller enjoyed until near the end.
It will be Ken Starr-like abuse on steroids.
Someone needs to take that mantle. Who? When? My guess is there will be a line and it will be soon.

Q: How can I use a variable in String.fromCharCode()? I am trying to get the code below to convert the unicode into a string but have no luck, please help?

function rot13(str) {
  var message = "";
  for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
    message += str.charCodeAt(i) + " ";
  }
  message = message.split(" ").filter(Boolean).join(",");
  return String.fromCharCode(message);
}
console.log(rot13("Hello World"))

A: fromCharCode("1,1,1,1") is not the same thing as fromCharCode(1,1,1,1) you need to use apply with an array.

function rot13(str) {
  var message = "";
  for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
    message += str.charCodeAt(i) + " ";
  }
  message = message.split(" ").filter(Boolean);
  return String.fromCharCode.apply(String, message);
}
console.log(rot13("Hello World"))

A: You want something like this:
http://buildingonmud.blogspot.com/2009/06/convert-string-to-unicode-in-javascript.html

function toUnicode(theString) {
  var unicodeString = '';

  for (var i = 0; i < theString.length; i++) {
    var theUnicode = theString.charCodeAt(i).toString(16).toUpperCase();

    while (theUnicode.length < 4) {
      theUnicode = '0' + theUnicode;
    }

    theUnicode = '\\u' + theUnicode;
    unicodeString += theUnicode;
  }

  return unicodeString;
}

console.log(toUnicode("Hello World"));

One of the first things you may notice when traveling to Okinawa is how different the construction of traditional houses is from that in other parts of Japan. The red terra cotta roof tiles are particularly conspicuous.
While the people of Okinawa today take pride in these red roof tiles, known as akagawara (赤瓦), the tiles were once considered embarrassingly provincial and deliberately painted black or gray in order to more closely resemble those found in other parts of Japan and Korea.
In the 18th century, as construction of buildings and houses accelerated in the Ryûkyûs, the red tiles made from locally mined clay called kucha were produced in order to save time and money. These were then painted over. An example of the gray tiles can be found here.
Another distinctive feature of the Okinawan roof is the copious amount of cement or mortar used to fix the tiles in place. Because the islands deal with typhoons on a regular basis, the roofs have been designed with these strong winds in mind.
The roofs often feature the crest of the family, known as a kamon, at the base of the roof. In the photo above, you can see the chrysthanemum crest.

Q: What are the pros and cons of using a single or multiple DbContext with EF? VS2013, EF6 code first, MVC, (VB)
I wanted to better understand the pros and cons of using either a single context, or splitting DbSets into multiple contexts.  I have been reading through some of the old SO posts on multiple DbContexts and didn't really find what I was looking for; a comprehensive statement on when and where to use or not use multiple DbContexts.
In the case of a single user running a program such as Windows Forms on their own hardware, it would seem there is no reason to have multiple contexts for ease of working with the code.
In the case of a web application that runs a major business program for multiple businesses it would seem multiple DbContexts are essential for security and administration.
But I'd like to get confirmation if I'm thinking about this question correctly.  All I can think of is the following, but then I'm quite new to this environment:
Pros of a single context:

*

*Coding only has a single context to deal with

*

*(Are there issues with relationships across contexts?)

*Migrations are easier because there is only one migration folder and process

*Easier to get a comprehensive diagram constructed in SSMS or EDMX

*

*(Link here for getting EDMX diagrams when using code first)

Cons of a single context:

*

*Security might be an issue for multiple web clients on an enterprise app

*

*(Is this an issue for simple websites that have simple memberships?)

*Some SO posts seem to suggest response time is an issue

*

*(What is the mechanism here?)

That's all I have.  I don't know enough to fully understand the two sides, and given the different environments we can be working in, it would seem the answer to one or multiple contexts will be different.
I'm currently working on a website that will have memberships, and also a downloadable app which will be a personal app running on the user's hardware.  In this case I think a single context for both makes sense, but before I get too deep into it, I though I would ask for some discussion on this.  I presume others who are somewhat new to the environment will continue to have the same questions.
I also note that Microsoft saw fit to add multiple context capability to EF in EF6 and higher, so clearly there must be some programming environments that give rise to compelling reasons to have multiple contexts.
Thanks for the input.
Best Regards,
Alan

A: The only good reason to have multiple contexts, in my opinion, is if you have multiple databases in play. One application I work with has 3 contexts, for example. Two contexts are for existing databases that the application is not directly responsible for, while the third is the application-specific context with migrations.
There's no real benefit to splitting a context. Erik suggests that large contexts have performance issues, but I've worked with a single context with 50+ object sets in it, and have noticed no performance problems at all.
However, on the flip-side, there's real detriments to working with multiple contexts. For one, you loose the ability to work with multiple objects seamlessly unless they all reside in the same context. Also, multiple contexts tend to confuse the heck out of green developers because of Entity Framework's object graph tracking. For example, let's say you had two entities, Foo and Bar, both in separate contexts. If you created a relationship to Bar on Foo:
public class Foo
{
    public virtual Bar Bar { get; set; }
}

Well, guess what? Both Foo and Bar are now tracked by Foo's context. If you then try to run migrations on both contexts, you'll get errors because Bar is managed in two, count 'em, two contexts.
Mistakes like this are ridiculously easy to make, and you'll drive yourself nuts trying to keep everything totally excluded. Plus, my argument has always been that if you have entities in your project that you can completely exclude from others, then that's an argument for a totally separate project, not just a different context.

A: I saw in the comments that you mentioned learning Domain Driven Design. One of the concepts in DDD is that of Bounded Contexts (be sure to check out the linked resource on bubble contexts to see how to deal with two contexts that share Entities).
It makes absolute sense to map your bounded contexts using a separate DbContext for each. There are certain gotchas that you need to be wary of when doing this but following a DDD approach should help you avoid them. The primary is shared entities. One context should be responsible for controlling the lifecycle of the shared entities, the other should only query those entities and not make any changes to them.
Separating your domain into bounded contexts will allow you to more easily manage a large/complex domain. It also avoids loading parts of the domain unnecessarily if you don't need them (in an SOA, you can deploy each bounded context autonomously as a service something that Udi Dahan calls an Autonomous Business Component).
I wouldn't advocate doing the split until you have to. For example, multiple teams working with different parts of the domain at the same time might present a good opportunity to make the split but at some point it will definitely make sense to do so.

The Harry Potter franchise is known all around the world to many different people, from the biggest penthouse in New York to the smallest towns and people. To keep the experience fresh for fans, every year author JK Rowling releases something new. This fall was no exception, as she debuted the script of the new London play in her book, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
The play includes many settings that will make fans of the original series nostalgic, such as Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station or the Sorting Hat Ceremony on the first day at Hogwarts. This new work features the next generation of wizards, including the children of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, as well as those of some characters who are not so well liked by readers, such as Draco Malfoy.
While the play carries the name Harry Potter in its title, it is actually about his youngest son, Albus Severus. While his older brother, James Sirius, fits more into the image of what everyone would think the child of Harry Potter would be like, Albus is not predictable and nothing like his father.
While Albus is teased and ignored for not being the great Potter as his brother seems to be, he finds friendship in Scorpius Malfoy. Albus' first three years at Hogwarts go by in a blur, with only a couple of scenes featured in each year, and extremely annoying aspect of the book if you ask me. The storyline finally becomes expanded right before Albus' fourth year of school.
The night before leaving for Hogwarts, Albus becomes angry with his father, and that is the turning point of the plot. He decides, while pulling Scorpius along with him, that he will try to correct one of the many mistakes his father made when he was fighting the Dark Lord. To do this, Albus must use a time turner, a device introduced to fans in the third instalment of the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, although the tool was only briefly used.
While there are many new personalities featured in the play, many characters all fans love are included or at least spoken about. Among these favorites are Professer McGonagall and Neville Longbottom. While the characters of the series are all so easy to love, that is not necessarily true for those in the newest Harry Potter installment.
The hardships of being a teenager are apparent in the lives of Albus and Scorpius in a different aspect than what Harry had faced. They both hope to not be like their fathers, while still making them proud. This aspect is overused and a cliche of exactly how one would expect the son of Harry Potter to be like. He and many other characters sit and complain about everything.
The plot line is confusing and contradicts a lot of what had happened in the seven book series. While the plot of the play focuses on the use of time travel, there may be too much of it, seeing as that the boys travel through time on three different occasions. It's one thing to go back in time to save someone you love in one shot, but going back three times to fix the same problem? Maybe he shouldn't have but in at all if he couldn't do it the first time.
Overall, the play is not bad, just disappointing. Many fans were hoping for more references to the first seven books while still being original. The storyline does not come into full effect until the ending of the play. Many of the scenes featured in the play were not needed and while some did stick out, they could have easily been expanded more upon in such scenes than those that were just there for fill. J.K Rowling did a decent job on her new generation, but ultimately can't top the masterpiece she's already created.

In our day--back when IAWL was public domain, would often show on three different stations every week in all of December..at the same time--I don't think any of us ever envisioned the day when it would be only shown twice a year, and a generation would grow up saying they'd never seen it.
(And yeah, I know, harsh words coming from the guy who grew up in the real Bedford Falls--I promised everyone I wouldn't brag about it this year. )

I would say the brouhaha over It's a Wonderful Life is rather recent. I watched all the Kansas City movie packages that they had of old movies on the three affiliates and I never saw this movie in the 50s or the early 60s.
I don't know when it became so popular maybe it was in the early 70's with the advent of the Revival Theaters and the autobiography of Frank Capra, "Tthe Name Above The Title". I can remember the first time I saw it on television on The Late Show was in the late sixties and I was quite impressed with it, but I had never heard of it.
For my generation the Thanksgiving and/or Christmas movie was The Wizard of Oz on television.
And I can't remember when the Natalie Wood movie started coming on at Thanksgiving; or The Ten Commandments at Easter.
We also used to look forward to a NBC showing of Mary Martin's Peter Pan at Thanksgiving.
But all these films seem to predate It's a Wonderful Life and it's had a relatively short span in this sort of venue.If it's any consolation,i it seems like they sell it for a dollar or two at Walmart.
Around 1964 NBC introduced " Saturday Night at the Movies " where they TV premiered Gene Kelly musicals like Singin' in the Rain and An American in Paris.
That seemed funny to me's because I had been watching the Fred Astaire 1950s movies for several years on The Late Show - -
Daddy Long Legs and Silk Stockings.
I'd be curious to know how many other Boomers have memories of these holiday perennial movies.
In Kansas City on the CBS affiliate, they would show Yankee Doodle Dandy and Easter Parade the night before the holiday and the afternoon/ matinee of the holiday. Those were the two I looked forward to every year.
Since there were no Revival theaters, no VHS, no DVD, no streaming, no nothing --unless you had your own movie reels, that's just the way it was.
One of the truly great moments of screen acting, in my opinion.
James Stewart as George Bailey at the end of his rope, sitting on a bar stool, pleading with God, starting to quietly weep. His desperation is palpable. I don't know if Stewart's wartime experiences (about which he was always very stoic in public) played a role in the emotional anguish that he brought to this scene, but the impact of his performance here I have always found to be devastating.
He's a man staring into the abyss and he doesn't see any way out.
Life isn't like in the movies. Life... is much harder.

When Stewart is running to the bridge at the climax, the music cue is the Latin hymn (or Gregorian chant, as some say) Dies Irae. Composer Dimitri Tiomkin used it very effectively to convey desperation and hopelessness. Most other film composers have used it to convey horror ( as in The Shining, The Mephisto Waltz, and The Return of Dracula).
I really like Citizen Kane. It's a movie that I can watch multiple times and still notice something new each time. It's not a movie I watch on a regular basis, but I sometimes catch it here and there on TCM.
I love Mildred Pierce. It's a great film and the whole cast, especially Ann Blyth, are excellent in it. It's got a little bit of everything in it. I bought the Criterion release of Mildred Pierce earlier this year.

I remember during Jimmy's 1980 AFI Life Achievement Award presentation a young Dustin Hoffman came on stage to say a few words about that year's honoree, and he said he always thought Jimmy's performance in IAWL was one of the greatest in film history.
(...and I've always thought so too)

Two For the Road. I watched this movie on Sunday. I kept recording this movie and something kept happening to the recording. The satellite would go out in the middle, or I *thought* I had recorded it and didn't, and this last time, I *did* remember to record it, but then my DVR hard drive crashed and I lost everything. Anyway, third time is a charm as far as this film goes.
I really liked Two For the Road. This film tells the story of a married couple, played by Albert Finney and Audrey Hepburn, who have been married for a decade and are experiencing a rough patch in their marriage. The events of their ten-year marriage unfold through a series of non-linear flashbacks and present day scenes. I felt that the non-linear storytelling format was perfect for this film. A longtime marriage is a relationship that evolves over the course of time. A couple who has been together forever will have experienced happy times, trying times, sad times, etc.
In Two For the Road, we see Finney and Hepburn meet in the 1950s when Hepburn was traveling with the choir. We see them fall in love. Later, we see the happy couple on their honeymoon. Then we see the couple bickering about children and infidelity. During the more blissful days of their relationship, Finney and Hepburn have modest means. The present day scenes show Finney as a successful architect and he and Hepburn are living the high life. However, Hepburn is very distant and cold to her husband. With money, the couple is unhappy. In one of the present day scenes, Hepburn and Finney are lounging on a beach and conversing very tersely with one another. This scene is juxtaposed with a flashback sequence showing the couple on the same beach but having fun--a very different experience than what they're having now. There are quite a few scenes that show Finney and Hepburn returning to old haunts only to have a completely different experience than they had prior. For some people, these old rendezvous spots may elicit some type of nostalgic feeling, albeit a happy or bittersweet feeling. In Two For the Road, I get the sense that the flashback sequences are all looking back on a relationship with a feeling of sadness.
How did a couple who used to be so much in love, grow apart from one another? This happens in long term relationships every day. Couples who have been married 10, 20 years are suddenly divorcing. Some stay in unhappy unions because of children, others for financial security. In Two For the Road, I get the sense that both Finney and Hepburn are unhappy because they don't feel that passion that they used to have and their relationship has become very routine. No longer are they spending the night randomly in concrete construction pipes or frolicking on the French Riviera countryside. Now Finney has a career. Finney and Hepburn are parents to a little girl. From the present day scenes in the film, I get the sense that both parties are bored with one another and are looking for something to spice up the relationship.
As an aside, I loved Hepburn's costumes in this film. Her present day, 1967 wardrobe was especially fun and I loved her giant sunglasses. They'd look awful on me, but Hepburn has that right flair that makes them great. Hepburn wore a variety of hairstyles in this film, which aided in informing the viewer which era of Finney and Hepburn's relationship they are viewing. In the early days of the relationship (mid-1950s), Hepburn wears her hair in a very prim fashion, a bob with bangs and a headband. Later, before she and Finney have their daughter, she has her hair long and straight. When their daughter arrives, Hepburn's hair is a short bob. Later, in the present day, she sports a very chic, very hip, short hairstyle.
I really enjoyed Two For a Road for it's realistic look at a couple who have experienced many ups and downs in their ten year union.
Yes, Stewart is great in that scene but overall the film is too much Capracorn for my taste. This is why I was surprised by Johnny Carson's comments about the film, as well as his facial expression like he ate something rotten, when he said he couldn't stand to see the film again, despite being a friend of Stewart).
But Carson's entire holiday related monologue was rather cynical: as in 'aren't we all really hoping this just comes and goes rather quickly'). It made me wonder if he received any negative feedback (say letters), from viewers.
If Johnny didn't like It's a Wonderful Life, then he didn't like it. If viewers couldn't handle that point of view, that's their problem, not his.

I don't know when it became so popular maybe it was in the early 70's with the advent of the Revival Theaters and the autobiography of Frank Capra, "Tthe Name Above The Title".
It IS recent--Organized programming on PBS stations didn't really start until the mid-80's, but back in the 70's, your local PBS station in the wilderness showed whatever was traveling the ether. With smaller stations, that included a lot of either cheap Britcom imports, or the occasional public-domain airing of silent movies and "Meet John Doe" or "Angel on My Shoulder".
Like Alastair Sim's Scrooge, IAWL was public-domain and holiday-themed, and was a struggling-PBS favorite in the late 70's--Until the broadcast/cable explosion in the 80's, with more channels struggling to dig up cheap public-domain excuses, and then, infamously, EVERY station was showing it, ALL month. Cliche'd jokes about how "inescapable" IAWL was on December TV became a comedy staple through the entire 80's (inspiring more than one SNL sketch), the movie became one of those pop-cult TV-memorized scripts like Wizard of Oz or A Christmas Story, and when Republic tried asserting some music-ownership rights to buy back the movie again out of public-domain, it was hailed as just shutting it up, already. Now, as a licensed movie for Paramount, it can enjoy the blessings of corporate greed, and only be shown once or twice a year for network ratings, and people can grow up saying "I've never seen it!"
I remember never having HEARD of the movie in the late 70's when Marlo Thomas did her Mary Bailey TV-movie remake. And that one was back when only public-domain movies were cheap enough to license for TV-movie remakes--Yep, they did one for "Angel on My Shoulder", too.
Dark Hazard (1934) - Interesting, although not wholly successful, character study from First National and director Alfred E. Green. Edward G. Robinson stars as Jim "Buck" Turner, a sometime professional gambler with big winning and big losing streaks. After his latest loss, he moves into a boarding house where he meets nice girl Marge (Genevieve Tobin), who helps get him back on track. But others in his life keep trying to drag him back into the shady gambling world, and he starts working for a dog track, where he runs into old flame Val (Glenda Farrell). As Buck struggles between what's right and what feels good, he becomes obsessed with owning a black racing dog named Dark Hazard who seems to have the same good/bad luck as Buck. Also featuring Sidney Toler, Hobart Cavanaugh, Robert Barrat, Gordon Westcott, George Meeker, Emma Dunn, and Wiliam V. Mong.
I kept expecting Robinson to slip into tough guy gangster mode, and while he does give one fella a knuckle sandwich, for the most part he's rather pitiful here as a man at the mercy of his impulses. Tobin and Farrell inhabit their roles well enough. The story seems a bit incohesive, and seeing as Henry B. Walthall appears in the credits but is never actually seen in the movie, some amount of last minute editing must have transpired, which may explain the lack of narrative rhythm. Still, this is a different kind of role for Robinson at this time in his career, and an admirable, if ultimately flawed attempt at making a psychologically complex portrait of a loser. (7/10)

I just watched Nadine, with Kim Basinger, Jeff Bridges and Rip Torn. I'd recorded it a few nights ago and was catching up. It centers on an about-to-be divorced couple (Basinger and Bridges) in the Austin of 1954, who get thrown back together when Basinger accidentally comes into possession of the state's secret plans for a new highway. Bridges steals the plans from her and figures on using the information to get rich, until the arch-hustler criminal Torn gets other ideas. It's a classic mix of romantic comedy and caper movie, with a pair of thugs working for Torn who might be straight out of Home Alone. It's not as if the plot is all that thrilling, and in truth if it had been shot in black and white and were 50 years older, it wouldn't stand out from some of Jimmy Cagney's potboilers from the 30's. But the three main actors are all terrific (especially Basinger), and we even get a brief cameo appearance by George Costanza's father (Jerry Stiller), who winds up in a way that George Costanza might have dreamed about.
Always enjoyed this movie since I was in my teens', Basinger and Bridges definitely clicked together, Torn made a wonderfully wicked villain, and I really enjoyed the film's soundtrack as well.
My only question is will Nadine and her hubby be able to live happily ever after? He's still broke and in debt, still in danger of losing his bar and it seems to me the two of them might end up having to live on her income as a hairdresser for a long time. That is bound to cause some more problems between them.
Sorry, I am overthinking here.
It is weird seeing Jerry Stiller in here and not think of the man whose son was the self-centered, insecured George Costanza in Seinfeld.
David Harum (1934) - More homespun comedy from Will Rogers, Fox, and director James Cruze, based on the novel by Edward Westcott. Rogers stars as David Harum, a small town banker in the 1890's. His unconventional ways and folksy wisdom endear him to some, but rankle others, like church Deacon Perkins (Charles Middleton), with whom he gets into a back-and-forth horse-trading contest. Harum's newest bank employee John (Kent Taylor) falls for local beauty Ann (Evelyn Venable), a union that the banker tries to facilitate from behind the scenes. Also featuring Louise Dresser, Stepin Fetchit, Noah Beery Sr., Roger Imhof, Frank Melton, Jane Darwell, and Sarah Padden.
The source novel was a big hit, but for dubious reasons; many businessmen liked the excuses made by the lead character for morally questionable business practices ("stick to him before he sticks it you"), excuses that they themselves started implementing in the real world. The novel's success led to a stage adaptation and a film in 1915. This 1934 version proved to be one of Fox's biggest hits, and a radio show adaptation started in 1936 ran for 15 years. This film is like many of Rogers' others from the period, such as Doctor Bull and Judge Priest, with Will acting as a benevolent, down-home philosopher and sometime romantic matchmaker for his younger co-stars. Stepin Fetchit, a frequent Rogers co-star, appears once again, this time even more incomprehensible than usual. Dresser, as Rogers' sister, doesn't get a lot to do. One notable aspect of this film is the depiction of harness racing, which rarely appears in cinema. This movie is mostly agreeable fluff, easily digested and quickly forgotten. (6/10)

Don't Drink the Water--no, not the Jackie Gleason 69 version, the 1994 Woody Allen version--I never knew before it even existed. Evidently, Allen didn't like the original film of his script, so decided to star himself for a tv remake. It's the same story, but with a completely different look and 'feel'. Instead of an embassy in the middle of nowhere, this is more realistic--lots of people work there, and it is elegantly furnished. Allen is his usual franatic self, sometimes overshadowing every other character. Michael J. Fox seems a bit mis-cast as the loser son of a diplomat in charge, and there isn't enough for Julie Kavner, as Allen's wife, to do..but Dom DeLuise expands on the magician/monk role. It's really more of a filmed play, as all the action takes place in the embassy (no final chase scenes, no hotel scenes). This version is sillier, quicker than the original..I actually like them both, but this one will appeal more to Allen fans. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else who's seen both how they would compare the two versions.

Drums o' Voodoo (1934) - aka She Devil aka Louisiana. Cheap, ridiculous morality play from Sack Amusement Enterprises and director Arthur Hoerl. Scheming no-good juke joint operator Tom Catt (Morris McKenny) tries to drag everyone he meets into a his orbit of wild parties and sinful living. He's blackmailing local preacher Elder Berry (Augustus Smith), and he's chasing after good girl Myrtle (Edna Barr). The townsfolk turn to Auntie Hagar (Laura Bowman), an old voodoo priestess, to work her hoodoo on Tom Catt.
This all-black feature started out as a play, and the stage roots are evident from the limited locations and stagey production design. The performances range from awful to really awful, while top-billed Bowman, a noted singer and stage actress in her day, really lays it on thick as the voodoo priestess, often shouting out, "Let me hear dem drums!" Her small cabal of worshipers consist mainly of guys dancing around in their tighty-whiteys. The print I watched was in terrible condition, and ran a scant 49 minutes, while I've read that some run 70+, and I've allowed for some loss in quality due to over-judicious editing. Still, I find it unlikely any more footage could have saved this turkey from being anything but a cultural relic. (3/10)

Devil With A Blue Dress (1994) Soul Noir in the City Of Angels
Walter Mosley has written fourteen Ezekiel (Easy) Rawlins mysteries to date. I've read about ten of them. Easy Rawlins was contemporary with Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, and Ross MacDonald's Lew Archer, and Devil With A Blue Dress was Mosley's first novel in the series, and believe it or not, one of the ones I haven't gotten to yet. I suppose it was seeing this film fifteen or so years ago that got me reading the rest of series and I just never got around to picking up number one.
It's a crying shame that director and screenwriter, Carl Franklin and star Denzel Washington didn't team up for more of the Easy Rawlins novels, they are quite good, and also quite unique in that Easy ages through time and local historical events as the series progresses, so it's not as if it's too late for another one. White Butterfly from 1992 was a particularly good standout.
The excellent cinematography was by Tak Fujimoto (The Silence of the Lambs (1991)), the music was by Elmer Bernstein, with a soundtrack with a lot of soul, that includes performances by T-Bone Walker, Jimmy Witherspoon, Duke Ellington, Roy Milton, Brian O'Neal, Pee Wee Crayton, Joan Shaw, Lucienne Boyer, Bull Moose Jackson, Kay Kyser, Thelonious Monk, Amos Milburn, James Cleveland & The Angelic Choir, Memphis Slim and Night Train International.
Enjoy the film, it can take it's place along with Chinatown, Farewell My Lovely, Hammett, Union City, Angel Heart, A Rage In Harlem, The Public Eye, Mulholland Falls, L.A. Confidential, This World, Then The Fireworks, The Man Who Wasn't There, The Black Dahlia, Honeydripper, and The Killer Inside Me. Screencaps are from the TriStar DVD 9/10.

Don't Drink the Water--no, not the Jackie Gleason 69 version, the 1994 Woody Allen version--I never knew before it even existed. Evidently, Allen didn't like the original film of his script, so decided to star himself for a tv remake.
This was around the time of "Manhattan Murder Mystery" and "Husbands & Wives", when Woody's latest artistic obsession had moved on from Bergman and Fellini plaigiarisms, to "Shaky handheld-camera cinema-verite' for realism". Oh, lord, thank goodness that didn't last long.
The urge to get back into plays also produced a Neil Simon '96 TV remake of "The Sunshine Boys", with Woody as George Burns and Peter Falk as Walter Matthau, but I haven't been able to track that one down yet.
Evelyn Prentice (1934) - Decent drama from MGM and director William K. Howard that marked the third teaming of Myrna Loy and William Powell. Powell is John Prentice, a successful workaholic defense attorney who provides well for his wife Evelyn (Loy) and young daughter Dorothy (Cora Sue Collins), but he's never home to share it with them. When Evelyn thinks that John is having an affair, she flirts with having one of her own with charming cad Lawrence (Harvey Stephens). This leads to even more trouble and heartache. Also featuring Una Merkel as Loy's best friend, Edward Brophy, Isabel Jewell, Henry Wadsworth, Frank Conroy, Jessie Ralph, Herman Bing, Billy Gilbert, Samuel S. Hinds, Jack Mulhall, and Rosalind Russell in her film debut.
Loy is very good in this as the emotionally conflicted Evelyn who gets in over her head. Powell underplays the big finale courtroom scenes well. Russell is okay as a client of Powell's who's a little too grateful for his services. Her role could have been expanded, though. The presence of Merkel is always a plus in my book. Of the 3 films with Loy/Powell in 1934, the others being Manhattan Melodrama and The Thin Man, this is the least impressive, but it's still worth a look. (7/10)

There Was a Crooked Man (1970), a western that stars Kirk Douglas as a robber who ends up in the pokey and manipulates the other inmates (at their own expense) to find a way to ensure him a way to escape the prison. Henry Fonda is the prison warden who is interested in reform and rehabilitation but finds Douglas' character may be a hopeless case.
Interesting movie, and I think the only flick that Douglas and Fonda ever did together. Cool supporting cast too, with Hume Cronyn, Warren Oates and John Randolph.
(SPOILER ALERT) The ending was kind of unexpected. After Douglas dies from the snake bite he gets when he tries to uncover his money in the hole he hid it in, Fonda finds him and puts his body on the horse and sends both back into the prison.....then turns around with the dough and heads to Mexico with the cash. Guess Fonda's character figured he didn't want to deal with any more inmates like Douglas (charming but manipulative and two-faced), and figured he'd take an early 'retirement'.
I've been wanting to see this film forever. I'm a big fan of Katharine Hepburn and had seen this film listed on her filmography. I've never seen this film scheduled on TCM. After researching the film a little bit, and discovering that it was directed by David Lean, I was even more interested in seeing it. I'm a big fan of Lean's Brief Encounter, and the synopsis of Summertime sounded like it was along the same vein as Brief Encounter. After quite a wait on the library wait list (apparently a lot of other people wanted to see this film too. I also had no renewals, there were three holds on it when I returned it this morning), I finally got a chance to watch it.
I loved this movie. It starred Hepburn as a single middle aged secretary from Ohio who takes the trip of a lifetime and travels to Venice. Hepburn's character seems happily single and enjoys her solitude and independence. Most of the action in the film takes place at Hepburn's hotel and in and around Venice. Lean shot the film on location and the scenery is gorgeous. We see Hepburn taking in the sights of town, the canals, the gondolas, local restaurants, etc. While sight seeing, she meets Rossano Brazzi, a local proprietor of an antique shop. Brazzi is super cute and Hepburn finds herself attracted to him. While purchasing a red glass antique goblet, she has a bit of a flirtatious conversation with Brazzi as he tries to school her on the art of haggling.
Brazzi also takes an immediate liking to Hepburn and is soon itching for a date. Hepburn's character, who is so used to being on her own, is hesitant at first, but Brazzi wins her over and soon they're in a red hot romance. Brazzi and Hepburn wine and dine at the finest restaurants, go dancing and even travel together to a neighboring island. Their relationship gets pretty hot and heavy and Hepburn finds herself conflicted--does she take the relationship to the next level, even though it may not be anything more than a summer fling? Or does she cherish what she had in Venice but return to her single life in Ohio?
This was such a great movie and Hepburn and Brazzi's relationship evolved organically. It didn't seem forced. Hepburn had a great wardrobe in this film and even wears a strapless gown! I don't think I've ever seen Hepburn's shoulders before. There is a scene where she falls into one of the Venice canals. Apparently, she got an eye infection from this stunt (I'm sure the waters of Venice are not clean) and it never cleared up. The little boy she befriends in this film reminds me of the little boy that Lucy befriends in I Love Lucy episode "Lucy Gets Homesick in Italy." Lucy and the Mertzes meet a little boy named Giuseppe who seemingly doesn't have any parents. He manages to score candy and presents from Lucy by telling her, "she's-a my birthday today too!" The little boy in Summertime, who is seemingly homeless and an orphan, manages to score treats and cigarettes from Hepburn.
I loved this movie and the scenes of 1955 Venice were gorgeous. Today is the last day of Barnes and Noble's 50% Criterion sale, so I had to purchase myself a copy of this film :-)
If you're in the mood for a legitimate romantic film, this is the film to watch. It'd make a great double feature with Brief Encounter.

This was one of the first Kate Hepburn films I ever saw. Right after I watched "Bringing up Baby" (1938) approximately 3 times in a row ("Baby" is easily one of my favorite films of all time). I enjoyed "Summertime." I heard that Kate wanted to do all her own stunts because none of the stuntwomen stood up straight enough.

Богуславська районна бібліотека — культурно-освітній заклад у Богуславі, який розмістився в палаці районного будинку культури.

Історія
За офіційними джерелами бібліотеку у Богуславі було засновано у 1920 році. Не збереглися архівні відомості про те, хто були перші бібліотекарі, скільки книг налічувала перша бібліотека. Але земляк-богуславець — письменник Хаскель Табачников у своєму автобіографічному романі «Баршевські мотиви» згадує як створювалась бібліотека м. Богуслава.

Радянський період
Народний комісаріат УРСР зобов'язав Політосвіту розгорнути велику роботу по створенню освітніх та культурних закладів, зокрема і бібліотек. Саме тоді влада міста та представники Політосвіти звернулися до населення міста із закликом дарувати книги для громадської бібліотеки, вносити кошти, пожертвування. До збирання літератури залучалися комсомольці, уповноважені особи від артілей, фабрики. А у багатих міщан, купців-євреїв багато книг було конфісковано. Спочатку книги мішками зносились до Політосвіти, яка знаходилась на другому поверсі будинку, де зараз знаходиться міська Рада. Там ці книги розбирались, складався їх реєстр, а потім вже вони й стали фондом першої громадської бібліотеки Богуслава, яка називалась тоді «Культур-ліга».

Поступово фонд бібліотеки збагачується виданнями, що надходили з різних джерел.

У складних умовах існувала ця бібліотека у 20-30-х роках. Вона неодноразово припиняла і відновлювала свою роботу в зв'язку з різними політичними подіями, працівники не отримували ніякої платні, існуючи лише на продпайок.

Потяг до знань, до культури був настільки великий, що незважаючи на невелику кількість наявної в бібліотеці літератури, на непристосованість приміщення у перші роки існування бібліотеки її відвідувало багато жителів міста — молодь, діти, домогосподарки, робітники, йшли навіть неписьменні.

Згідно з декретом радянського уряду, про ліквідацію неписьменності, при бібліотеці організували спеціальний пункт, де бібліотекарі брали активну участь у ліквідації неписьменності.

З'їзд Укрполітосвіт, що проходив у жовтні 1922 р. намітив певні завдання і перед бібліотеками: боротися за ідейний вплив марксистської пролетарської ідеології в пропаганді книги, стати осередком боротьби з буржуазною ідеологією, базовою для політичної освіти не тільки комуністів, але й широких робітничих мас. З цією метою в бібліотеці був створений марксистський гурток, члени якого були і бібліотекарі. Учасники його не тільки слухали лекції, але й самі виступали з рефератами. Широко відзначалися роковини з дня народження Ф. Енгельса та річниці Великої Жовтневої соціалістичної революції. Влаштовувалися книжкові виставки, літературні вечори, диспути на літературні теми та з питань мистецтва.

В наступні роки напрямок роботи бібліотеки визначався завданнями, що стояли перед ідеологічними установами в період індустріалізації.

В 1926—1929 рр. цілеспрямовано проводилося комплектування книжкового фонду новою літературою, бо переважну його частину становили дореволюційні застарілі видання. В робоче ядро фонду бібліотеки добиралася література відповідно до завдань самоосвіти і політнавчання, виховання марксистського матеріалістичного світогляду і практичних інтересів читачів. Сюди надходили нові видання, включаючи кращі твори класичної і художньої літератури та науково цінні книги.

У відповідності до постанови ЦК ВКП (б) у листопаді 1929 року на Україні розпочався бібліотечний похід під закликом «Книгу — в масу!». Під час цього походу у бібліотеці проводились голосні читання, бесіди, лекції, доповіді, вечори, інсценізації з художніх творів. Велика увага приділялася зміцненню матеріальної бази бібліотеки.

Бібліотечний похід значно активізував діяльність бібліотеки, сприяв залученню до читання робітників, колгоспників, молодь а також малописьменних, що закінчили лікбези.

Особлива увага приділялась просуванню у широкі маси поточної, технічної, сільськогосподарської літератури, поповненню фондів українською книгою. Стала більш дійовою участь читачів у бібліотечній роботі.

В 30-х роках бібліотека вже виконувала й методичні функції. Працівники міської бібліотеки виїжджали на села, надаючи методичні консультації приклубним, колгоспним, шкільним бібліотекам. Бібліотекою розроблялися місячники книги, бібліотечні походи, програми конференцій, семінарів, нарад бібліотекарів. Тут збиралися зразки плакатів, діаграми, плани та звіти бібліотек, відгуки на книги.

В цей час Богуславська бібліотека перетворилася в справжній центр української пролетарської культури і пропаганди марксистсько-ленінської ідеології.

Дорослі й діти все частіше приходили до бібліотеки. Інтерес до книги все більше зростав. У 1935—1941 роках бібліотеку щоденно відвідувало дуже багато читачів. Для розміщення читачів доводилося використовувати кожен куточок, кожен стіл.

За спогадами бібліотекарів, які працювали в той час, в читальному залі бібліотеки було 9 столів, біля кожного столу сиділо по 6-8 чоловік.

В цей період в бібліотеці працювало кілька працівників. Завідувачкою бібліотеки була Женя Єфимівна Тетельман (вона закінчила Харківський інститут культури, а в роки війни була евакуйована).

У 1936 році п'ятнадцятирічною дівчиною прийшла у бібліотеку Любов Дмитрівна Ткаченко. Вся її юність пройшла в стінах бібліотеки. Тут знайшла вона свою долю, тут і застала її війна. Такими ж молодими прийшли до бібліотеки в 30-х роках Олександра Онисимівна Лабзенко (Сьоміна), Тамара Григорівна Кудревич, Марія Вірмак, Ліза Гулько, Сара Наумівна Розенфельд та Ганна Арсентіївна Шамрай, яким випало на долю з руїн і попелу відроджувати бібліотеку після війни.

Серед відвідувачів бібліотеки того періоду переважали учні старших класів середніх і вечірніх шкіл, робітники і службовці. Але недоліком у роботі було те, що мало книг видавалися додому.

1937—1940 роки — це роки піднесення роботи бібліотеки, вони характеризуються значними якісними змінами в змісті, формах і методах обслуговування відвідувачів. Збільшилась кількість читачів, щоденна книговидача, особливо газетно-журнальних матеріалів. Пропаганда книг стала більш конкретною, а зв'язки бібліотекарів з читачами тіснішими. Вимоги задовольнялися за короткий термін. Змінився характер інтересів і запитів читачів. Зріс попит на технічну літературу. У відповідь на заклик партії опанувати передовою технікою на фабриках і підприємствах, артілях, колгоспах, створювалися школи і гуртки для масового технічного навчання для робітників без відриву від виробництва. Бібліотека в свою чергу широко пропагувала наукову і технічну книгу, надавала допомогу виробничникам у виконанні народногосподарських завдань.

Важлива роль відводилась масовим формам пропаганди книги, серед яких провідне місце займали книжкові виставки літератури, які присвячувалися історико-революційним датам, ювілеям видатних діячів літератури та мистецтва, науки і техніки, черговим завданням соціалістичного будівництва. Організовуючи їх, бібліотека оперативно відгукувалась на всі важливі події в житті країни і за рубежем. Розкривалися такі теми: «Ударники і стахановці — передовики виробництва», «Дружба народів СРСР — торжество ленінської національної політики», «Возз'єднання західноукраїнських земель в єдиній Українській Радянській державі», «125 років з дня народження Т. Г. Шевченка», «Наука проти релігії», «Київщина до ХХІІІ з'їзду ВКП(б)».

Серед усних масових робіт бібліотеки важлива роль належала літературним вечорам. Систематично організовувалися лекції з різноманітних питань. Проводились консультації для читачів з історії партії, з питань міжнародного становища, з методики самостійної роботи з книгою.

В передвоєнний період збільшується кількість бібліотек: сільських, колгоспних, профспілкових, шкільних. Зростає і книжковий фонд цих бібліотек, зокрема й бібліотеки міста.

Війна перервала творчу працю колективу бібліотеки. Багато книжкового фонду бібліотеки було знищено як німецькими окупантами, так і радянськими військами. Лише невеличку частину вдалось врятувати працівникам бібліотеки, зокрема Шамрай Г. А., якій після визволення міста довелося відроджувати бібліотеку з нічого. Зруйновано було і приміщення бібліотеки, її обладнання. Тому дуже тяжко було в післявоєнний період відновити все втрачене. Деякий час бібліотека знаходилася у приміщенні наросвіти, доки не налагоджено було роботу бібліотеки, укомплектовувався книжковий фонд поступово, з різних джерел. Створювався довідковий фонд, у якому відчувалася гостра потреба. Література, періодичні видання виходили невеликими тиражами та з перебоями в зв'язку з тяжким становищем, яке спіткало і видавництва.

1956—1960 рр. бібліотека широко пропагувала досвід передовиків соціалістичного змагання. Великим успіхом користувалася світлова газета, яка своєчасно висвітлювала досягнення колективів, окремих працівників, критикувала ледарів, п'яниць тощо. Покращується і робота бібліотеки, зростає її кількість читачів — 1900 чол., книжковий фонд складав 30 тисяч примірників літератури. Тільки за 1956 рік у бібліотеці проведено 70 читок, 5 конференцій, 7 літературних вечорів, організовано 40 виставок літератури і т. д. Зокрема з великим успіхом пройшли: вечір до 100-річчя І.Франка, читацькі конференції по книгах — Д.Граніна «Шукачі», та М.Островського «Як гартувалася сталь», літературний вечір присвячений творчості М. Ю. Лермонтова, усний журнал «Партія — наш рульовий».

На плакатах, стендах, діаграмах і виставках широко пропагувалися резолюції ХХІ з'їду КПРС, доповідь М. С. Хрущова на з'їзді, плани розвитку народного господарства СРСР на 1959—1965 роки. Оформлено стенди «СРСР та наш район у семирічці».

Всебічну допомогу працівники Богуславської бібліотеки надавали своїм колегам з сільських бібліотек. Для них щомісячно проводилися семінари-практикуми.

Проводили ряд заходів на атеїстичну тему. Так, конференція по книзі Д.Сидорова «Из ребра ли Адамова?» викликала великий інтерес у читачів. А огляд літератури «Наука викриває релігію» дав рекомендації щодо подальшого читання літератури атеїстичної спрямованості.

Близько 400 жителів міста побувало на читацькій конференції за книгою П. Т. Тронька «Безсмертя юних», яка розповідає про молодих партизанів, комсомольців у роки війни. На той час ця книга користувалася великим попитом серед молодих людей.

Також цікавими і змістовними в районній бібліотеці проходили читацькі конференції по книгах: Г.Ніколаєвої «Битва в дорозі», М.Шолохова «Доля людини», К.Чуковського «Балтійське небо», В.Петльованого «Дівчина з передмістя», ці книги на той час визначали смак і запити читачів бібліотеки.

1967—1968 роках Богуславська бібліотека намагалась іти в ногу з життям Країни Рад. Бібліотеки, як опорні бази парторганізацій сприяли в комуністичному вихованні трудящих. До 50-річчя Ленінського комсомолу бібліотека провела читацьку конференцію «Ми партії вірні сини»; до 100-річчя з дня народження М.Горького — горьківські читання та читацьку конференцію по книзі «Мати» тощо. Уже тоді, чільне місце займають заходи краєзнавчого змісту, зокрема обговорення книги Ф.Бурлаки «Потоплені пороги» про К.Запорожця; диспут «Яким повинен бути справжній друг». Широко проводилася пропаганда літератури до 50-річчя Великого Жовтня (читацька конференція «Дорогою батьків», вечір «Жовтневі зорі над Україною»).

У 1969—1970 роках взяла активну участь у Всесоюзному огляді роботи бібліотек, присвяченому 100-річчю від дня народження В. І. Леніна. До цієї визначної дати в бібліотеці було оформлено ленінський куточок «Ідеї Леніна живуть, і перемагають». Великий успіх мали проведені заходи: читацька конференція «Ленін та Україна», літературно-тематичний вечір «Творець нового світу», огляди літератури «Сторінки великого життя» та «Образ В. І. Леніна в художній літературі», а читацька конференція по книзі Миколи Зарудного «На білому світі» перетворилася на диспут про місце людини в житті, про чистоту кохання, про красу людських відносин.

1970—1971 роки. Виконуючи рішення XXIV з'їзду КПРС працівники бібліотеки розгорнули широке змагання за звання установи відмінної роботи, запроваджували нові форми роботи. Працівники бібліотеки поліпшили свою роботу по обслуговуванню населення книгою, використовуючи нестаціонарні форми роботи, пункти видачі, пересувки. Покращився якісний склад книговидачі. Читачі почали більше знайомитись з суспільно-політичною, сільськогосподарською та науково-природничою літературою.

Було проведено ряд заходів по програмах різних галузей знань, зокрема ленінської теоретичної спадщини, книг про політику Компартії, на допомогу слухачам політосвіти. В бібліотеці влаштовувались книжкові виставки «Рішення ХХІУ з'їзду КПРС — в життя», «Плани партії — плани народу», «Рубежі нової п'ятирічки». Проводились літературно-тематичні вечори «Комунізм — наша мета», «Від з'їзду до з'їзду», оформлений куточок передового досвіду. Велика увага приділялась пропаганді атеїстичної літератури (огляди літератури «Без Бога — світла дорога», «Наука вкриває релігію»). Запроваджувалась комплексна програма пропаганди літератури з питань комуністичного виховання трудящих. Завданням бібліотеки було повідомляти політінформаторів, пропагандистів, агітаторів про надходження нової літератури, що висвітлює досягнення радянського народу та перспективи розвитку народного господарства у новій п'ятирічці.

Готуючи до виборів у Верховну Раду УРСР (1971 рік) працівники бібліотеки зосереджували свою увагу на роз'ясненні суті соціалістичної демократії та її переваг над буржуазною демократією, на показі досягнень Країни Рад у розвитку економіки, підвищенні добробуту і культури народу. Бібліотекою був проведений бібліографічний огляд «Радянська виборча система — найдемократичніша в світі». З молодими виборцями проводились бесіди, для них складались рекомендаційні списки літератури, індивідуальні плани читання, влаштовувались книжкові виставки.

Широко відзначались роковини видатних письменників: 100-річчя від дня народження Лесі Українки, 100-річчя М. Горького, 100-річчя В. І. Леніна.

1972 рік. Готуючись до 50-річчя утворення СРСР районна бібліотека підготувала книжкові виставки «Україна Радянська в союзі незламнім цвіте», «Руки міцні, серця запальні на службі тобі, п'ятирічко», «Хвала рукам, що пахнуть хлібом» тощо. Працівники бібліотеки оформили плакат «Квітни рідна Богуславщино», провели конференцію «Ленінським курсом — до комунізму», вечір «У сяйві дружби і свободи йдемо до світлої мети», усний журнал «В сім'ї єдиній, братерській».

1973 рік. Широко відзначались роковини письменників, що жили і творили в Богуславі — Марко Вовчок та І. С. Нечуй-Левицький. Значна увага приділялася завданням і успіхам у сільському господарстві — організовувались книжкові виставки «Якісно і без втрат збережемо врожай», «Земля — джерело достатку» тощо.

1976 рік — новий етап у розвитку бібліотечної справи району, відбулася централізація бібліотек. Бібліотека м. Богуслава стала центральною, якій підпорядковувалися ще 38 сільських бібліотек-філій.

1980 рік. Цікаво пройшов атеїстичний вечір «До світла, до сонця». Присутні на вечорі ознайомилися з книжковою виставкою «Правда про релігію», подивились кінофільм.

Восьмидесяті роки характеризуються широкою пропагандою суспільно-політичної, атеїстичної літератури, морально-правової та виробничої тематики. Бібліотекарі обслуговували читачів на виробничих ділянках, проводили і відповідну пропагандистську роботу.

В 1981—1982 роках діяльність бібліотеки була спрямована на відзначення 950-річного ювілею міста. Влаштовувались книжкові виставки, тематичні вечори та заходи краєзнавчого змісту.

1983—1985 роки. Читацькі конференції «Партія веде», «Людина з ім'ям комуніст» були присвячені завданням, накресленими XXIV з'їздом КПРС, про перспективи розвитку країни в ХІ п'ятирічці. Зацікавили читачів усні журнали «Радянська Україна від з'їзду до з'їду». Були влаштовані тематичні добірки літератури «Вивчаємо. Обговорюємо. Схвалюємо»; голосні читання «Партія — розум, честь і совість нашої епохи»; огляд літератури «Курсом миру і творіння»; тематичний вечір «Підвищення добробуту народу — найвища мета партії». В бібліотечній роботі розгорнувся широкий рух «Обличчям до виробництва», де пропаганда виробничо-технічної книги, технічних знань стала одним із важливих напрямків діяльності бібліотеки. Особливо популярним був «Бригадний абонемент» (виїзне обслуговування читачів книгою на підприємствах).

1986—1990 роки — це роки існування бібліотечної справи району в нових ринкових умовах. Змінюється фінансування бібліотеки, впроваджуються платні послуги, розширюється діапазон діяльності бібліотеки, створюються клуби за інтересами, любительські об'єднання.

За незалежної України
1991—1995 роки. Проводились різноманітні заходи по національному і духовному відродженню: цикли книжково-ілюстративних виставок «Україна — від національно-культурного до економічного відродження», «Із джерел рідної землі», «Вникаймо в суть духовного життя»; години пам'яті «Із забуття — в безсмертя», «Той незабутній 33-й», «Повернуті імена»; уроки народознавства «Без верби й калини немає України», «Домашні обереги», «Символи української нації», «До коренів, з яких ростемо» та інші. Бібліотеки ЦБС займалися популяризацією літератури по екології, зокрема висвітлювали Чорнобильську трагедію. Питання здорового способу життя, правової самоосвіти, господарювання в нових соціально-економічних умовах, дозвілля населення — завжди були у полі зору бібліотек району.

Особливу увагу районна бібліотека приділяла краєзнавству. Проводились зустрічі з письменниками-земляками, прем'єри книг, літературно-мистецькі свята до роковин І. С. Нечуя-Левицького, Марка Вовчка, І.Сошенка, Шолом-Алейхема, Т.Шевченка, О.Матійка, С.Воскрекасенка, Л. Силенко, О. Іванченка та інші.

1996—1998 роки. Бібліотека шукає джерела додаткового фінансування, за допомогою громадськості, спонсорства, благодійності, намагається утримати свій авторитет. Гостро стояла проблема комплектування фондів у зв'язку з браком коштів. Пріоритетним напрямком роботи бібліотеки стала економічна просвіта населення, орієнтація його на проблеми ринкової економіки, навчання комерційним азам, менеджменту, маркетингу, а також популяризація літератури з питань права і моралі.

У бібліотеці проходили діалоги, диспути «Наркоманія: ілюзії і реальність "солодкого" життя», «Право: від А до Я», «Закони суверенної України», «СНІД — знати і бути на сторожі». Широко відзначалися Дні незалежності України, Дні Конституції України, краєзнавчі заходи.

Богуславська ЦРБ набула авторитету й визнання не тільки в області, а й по всій Україні, завдяки самовідданій праці не одного покоління бібліотечних фахівців. Крім того, за рішенням ЮНЕСКО, Богуславська центральна районна бібліотека занесена в Мюнхенський каталог-довідник «Кращі бібліотеки Європи».

У 2006 році відбулася значна подія для бібліотеки, вийшов друком поетичний альманах «Ода рідному краю», над яким протягом тривалого часу працювали працівники методично-бібліографічного відділу Ольга Бурлетова, Ольга Сухомлин та заступник директора ЦБС Наталія Мартиненко.

До альманаху увійшли твори відомих в Україні та за її межами поетів та поетів-початківців про свою малу Батьківщину.

У 2007 році, однією з перших районних ЦБС Київщини, Богуславська система стала переможницею Всеукраїнського конкурсу «Інтернет для публічних бібліотек. LEAP-VI», і завдяки фінансовій підтримці Держдепартаменту США (Посольство США в Україні) в Богуславі діє Інтернет-центр при районній бібліотеці.

У 2009 році Богуславська ЦБС брала участь в обласному огляді-конкурсі на краще забезпечення закладами культури правової освіти населення та зайняла І місце, а в подарунок одержала відеокамеру.

У 2011 році на базі районної бібліотеки проводили навчання професор Київської Національної академії керівних кадрів культури і мистецтв Я. О. Хіміч та заступник директора вузівської бібліотеки КНТУУ «КПІ» С. І. Барабаш. Майстер-класи, флеш-моби, ділові ігри із циклу «Інноваційні технології в бібліотеках». І 14 працівників (районної та сільських філій) продовжили навчання в Національній академії керівних кадрів культури і мистецтв, один із навчальних днів проходив у Посольстві США в Україні.

У 2014 році багато заходів присвячених 200-річчю від дня народження Т. Г. Шевченка проходило в стінах бібліотеки. Зокрема, відбулося засідання Всеукраїнської молодіжної науково-практичної конференції під назвою «Геній серед геніїв», яка проходила в рамках IV Всеукраїнського молодіжного історико-етнографічного фестивалю «Богуслав».

The Fyre Festival is a gift that keeps on giving for video streaming services, as Netflix today announced a documentary about the disastrous 2017 festival, which collapsed before it even started and landed its organizer, Billy McFarland, a six-year prison sentence.
"Fyre" will be directed by Chris Smith, who helmed last year's documentary "Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond," and "gives a first-hand look into the disastrous crash of Fyre as told by the organizers themselves," according to the announcement. The doc will be released on January 18 and is produced by Vice Studios, Library Films, Jerry Media and Matte Projects. Watch a teaser video below; a proper trailer is expected in the coming days.
30WEST negotiated the deal with Netflix on behalf of the filmmakers.
Earlier this year Hulu announced a docusieres on the festival that does not yet have a release date, and last year Seth Rogen and the Lonely Island said they were planning a film that follows a storyline similar to that of the Fyre Festival.
McFarland, 26, was sentenced to six years in prison in October. The heavily hyped Fyre Festival was to be a "luxury concert" — taking place on a small island in the Bahamas and featuring Blink-182, Migos and Disclosure — but collapsed on in a mess of disorganization on April 29 before it had even started. Far from the luxury accommodations and celebrity-chef-prepared meals promised by its producers —McFarland and rapper Ja Rule — concertgoers were met with flimsy tents, boxed lunches, near-total disorganization and long waits for flights to return to the mainland after airlines began refusing to fly would-be concertgoers to the overcrowded island of Exumas.
One production professional briefly associated with the festival told Variety the event was marked by "incompetence on an almost inconceivable scale."

Caleb Orozco (born 1973) is an LGBT activist in Belize. He was the chief litigant in a case successfully challenging the anti-sodomy laws of Belize and the co-founder of the only LGBT advocacy group in the country.

Biography
Orozco became politically active when he was 31, after attending a workshop in Belize City for gay men and for people living with HIV. Orozco co-founded the United Belize Advocacy Movement (UNIBAM) in 2006, and later became the president. UNIBAM is the country's only LGBT advocacy group and has been using the legal system to challenge the anti-sodomy laws in Belize. UNIBAM is run out of Orzoco's home.

In 2009, Orozco attended an HIV conference in Jamaica where he met two law professors from the University of the West Indies Rights Advocacy Project. The two professors identified Belize as an ideal case for challenging bans on same-sex relationships.

In Belize, there was a law that specified a 10-year prison sentence for sodomy. In 2011, Orozco and UNIBAM filed a constitutional case against the law, and challenged section 53 of the criminal code in Belize. The Catholic Church in Belize came out against the filing, which Orozco defended, saying, "The case is personal and it's about reminding the system that my human rights isn't about picking and choosing which you'll support and which you will ignore. My human rights is total. It's not to be mandated by the church because the church does not govern this country. Period." Not long after the filing, the church made a successful pretrial motion to remove UNIBAM saying the group had no legal standing, leaving Orozco the sole claimant on the case. Gay people in Belize did not have a legal voice until Orozco filed the case.

After filing the challenge, Orozco said there had been an increase in hatred directed at LGBT people in Belize. In February 2012, he was threatened with anti-gay insults and hit in the face with a bottle which required surgery. He also began to get death threats because of his challenge to the anti-sodomy law. Orozco has also had his car damaged by people threatening him.

Orozco continued to participate in conferences. He was part of a forum called "Realising the Dream of Caribbean LGBT Inclusion", given at Ryerson University during the 2014  WorldPride Human Rights conference in Toronto.

In May 2013, arguments were made in court about the case.  On August 10, 2016, the chief justice ruled Section 53 of the criminal code to be unconstitutional. The law was said "to violate Orozco's human dignity, privacy, and (in forcing him to lie or risk prosecution) freedom of expression." Orozco said, "This is the first day of my life in which it is legal for me to be me." UNIBAM and Orozco began discussions with Patrick Faber, the Deputy Prime Minister about LGBT representation on the Morality Commission in Belize.

In December 2016, he was awarded the David Kato Vision and Voice award.

Dear Internet, please post a photo of Ed's Glass Works.
The last few years have been interesting, in that I've been spending time with guys from the area around Merrick. I grew up there, but moved to Plantation, Florida for my high school years. My leaving before high school pretty much meant that most of my memories are geographically limited to either family locales or places to where I rode my bike. While I spent a lot of time visiting Merrick during my college years in upstate New York, I really haven't had occasion to pull up a lot of memories regarding Merrick with any guys other than my old pal Dr. Mitch, Rock And Roll Chiropractor. I've certainly spent a lot of time with my only two first cousins, who grew up in Merrick, and my sisters, but when I'm with those four gals, memories about Merrick don't come up often. We're more in The Now.
So last night I'm on Facebook, when Keith, a pal who's writing about the history of comic books, starts a chat with me to ask about the on sale month of Jack Kirby and Steve Gerber's Destroyer Duck 1. I cite Chrissie Harper's Kirby Timeline, and then, knowing Keith grew up in Bellmore, I start throwing some memes at him. Mostly items related to riding my bike (with Mitch, usually) and buying comic books. Keith mentions one place, The Book Stop on East Meadow Ave., which prompts me to ask him if he remembers Ed's Glass Works. Well, everyone who I suspect remembers Ed's Glass Works remembers it. Ed's Glass Works was hilarious.
Ed's Glass Works was a commercial enterprise on East Meadow Avenue. We didn't drive much on the section of that street, but we did drive along Prospect Avenue, and, at times, would turn onto East Meadow Avenue, but in a direction away from Ed's Glass Works.
Didn't matter – Ed's Glass Works' sign was visible from the intersection.
And who knows how many times, some prankster would paint over the GL in the name.
This must change. Please help. Reach out.
PS. Ed's Glass Works is long gone, but fittingly, an enterprise called Hi-Tech Signs is there now. Hah!
