7 Career-Defining Songs From Wilson Pickett
Wilson Pickett live in 1967 - Patrick JACQUET / Youtube
When one talks about soul music and its development, pioneer Wilson Pickett should be included in every conversation. The Detroit-trained musician was all about passionate singing, practicing his craft in the streets, and the church. It helped that Pickett looked up to icons like Little Richard, who he called as the architect of rock and roll. With that, here are some unforgettable cuts from Pickett's career.
"Mustang Sally" (1966)
The song was written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965, which was inspired by Della Reese wanting to gift her drummer and bandleader with a Ford Continental, for which the drummer was teased. He replied that he wanted a Mustang, which Rice didn't know about at first but saw it as an opportunity to write a song about it. Picket released his version the following year and beat Rice's original version, with the former reaching #6 while the latter only made it to #15 on the US R&B Charts.
"In The Midnight Hour" (1965)
Pickett co-wrote the song with Steve Cropper, who was only familiar with the singer from few gospel songs Pickett sang on. He recalls: I found some gospel songs that Wilson Pickett had sung on. On a couple [at] the end, he goes: "I'll see my Jesus in the midnight hour! Oh, in the midnight hour. I'll see my Jesus in the midnight hour." The song topped the R&B charts and reached #21 on the pop charts.
"Land of A Thousand Dances" (1962)
Famous for the repeating vocal hook on the song, "Land of a Thousand Dances" was first recorded by Chris Kenner and was covered by numerous artists soon after, Pickett included. His version was backed by the esteemed Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and the Memphis Horns, which reached the top of Hot R&B charts and became his biggest pop hit at #6.
"Funky Broadway" (1967)
The song was originally written by Arlester "Dyke" Christian and recoded by his band, Dyke & the Blazers. Pickett's version was recorded in Muscle Shoals and was produced by Jerry Wexler, topping the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart, and is notable for being the first charted single that had the word "Funky" in the title.
"Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" (1967)
Probably one of the most rock and roll numbers by Pickett, "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" showcases his raw vocal power. The cut peaked at #29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of his best-remembered live numbers.
"If You Need Me" (1963)
Picket co-wrote this lumbering ballad with a spoken sermon section and presented it to Atlantic Records, but was passed onto Solomon Burke, whose version reached #2 on the R&B charts. Pickett's version was released under Double L Records and hit #30 on the R&B charts.
"It's Too Late" (1963)
Peaking at #7 on the R&B charts was Picket's first major success, "It's Too Late". The same title was used to name his debut album, which became the template of his future body of work. It also prompted Wexler and Atlantic Records to buy Pickett's recording contract from Double L Records the following year.

Your kid spills their milk all over the floor, they say "its my pleasure!" as they're cleaning the mess up!
Whatever you do, no matter what you ask, "it's their pleasure" to take care of it. Sometimes I try to thank them as many times as I can so that I can hear them say "it's my pleasure" over and over…just to mess with them.
Have you ever wondered why it would give pleasure to God the Father to bruise His Son? Why would it be a pleasure to see Him go through extreme torture and agony? Why would it be pleasure to see Jesus become a curse by being nailed to the cross? WHY??? If it is our kids, we don't want them to ever go through pain, let alone the pain that Jesus went through! Those things would never give us pleasure, but why did it give God pleasure?
Rest assured, God's pleasure didn't happen just because He got His "jollies" seeing the blood-bath! His pleasure in "bruising" Christ was that Christ was accomplishing the purpose that He had set out to accomplish…to take away the sins of the world by making Christ the sacrifice!
1 John 2:2 states, "And he (Jesus) is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice to God to appease his wrath) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." John 1:29 states, "The next day John teeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." – 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Jesus fulfilled the Father's purpose and that is pleasing to Him!


So, I am not sure where to even start so here goes... Sasha is very behind in his language development. He is now a little over 3 years old and I would say that he has the language skills of someone closer to having just turned 2, if even that. I was fully aware that he might be a little behind after coming home from the orphanage. We were told that typically, for every 3 months they spend in an institution, you can predict that they will be 1 month behind developmentally. Well that puts him at about 6 months behind but he is way more behind than that. I guess I was fairly naive about where his language would be and where he would be after being home for over a year and half. To me, something seems not right but then again, I can't say that I have much knowledge in this area. Yes, I am a special ed teacher but I have never worked with kids that have come from institutions.
Every one that works with Sasha says that everything is fine and he is progressing as he should. We have been told repeatedly that it takes time. His doctor, his two speech pathologists, his special ed teachers, his geneticist, his neurosurgeon... nobody seems the least bit concerned expect his dad and I. Now this is probably where most people would say well then just stop worrying. But the thing is, these people aren't with Sasha everyday. Some, such as his geneticist and his neurosurgeon, haven't seen him since he came home. We are with Sasha everyday and to us, it just seems like he should be able to communicate better by this point. Sometimes as well, I feel that people don't expect as much from Sasha. They see his physical limitations and automatically assume that he has cognitive difficulties as well. As far as we can tell from all the tests that he has had, there are no cognitive issues that should be causing any of his language difficulties... supposedly it is all from being institutionalized for the first 18 months of his life.
If this is true, how long does it take for these kids coming out of these institutions to typically catch up? Does it usually take months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years... will it ever happen because to be completely honest, sometimes I wonder if he will ever catch up. I understand no one can tell me exactly how long it will take Sasha. It would be so helpful to hear though from people who have been in this position or who have worked with kids like Sasha. I guess I just need some answers or some clarification as to what the norm is here. Is it normal for him to be this far behind? Does is truly take years and years to catch up?
Everything seems to check out fine with him. His hearing is outstanding... in fact, he is a master at imitating sounds. If he hears a paper rip from across the room, or tapping on a table... basically any sound, he can imitate it perfectly and loves to do it. I guess this comes from sitting in his crib all the time listening to all the sounds in orphanage and finding ways to entertain himself. It's really quite impressive what he can do. His oral structure appears fine... there doesn't seem to be any physical reason why he is struggling. Pretty much everything checks out. I do worry about something his neurosurgeon said after he first came home. Sasha has craniosynostosis so he had to have a scan when he first came home to make sure that his brain was not being pushed on in certain parts because of his abnormal bone structure. His neurosurgeon said everything looked great and that he did not need surgery. He did say that we should keep our eye on things in the future, just to be safe and if we ever heard him complain about headaches a lot or if he was struggling in school, that we should have him checked out again to make sure everything still checked out okay. Well, now I am wondering if his language development difficulties have to do with this rather than the fact that he had been in an orphanage. My husband isn't concerned about this and thinks that his brain is just fine. I guess if I knew that what he is dealing with in terms of his language, truly is typical, then I wouldn't worry about this.
In terms of the help he gets... I work with Sasha at home a lot and have been since he got home. He also goes to preschool fives times a week now which he started in November. Since starting preschool he has definitely improved which is reassuring but is still so far behind in my opinion.
1. He can say thank you, please, your welcome, hi, bye, night night, I love you, more, again, get down, potty, Elmo, Fire(for his Kindle Fire), chocolate, cottage cheese, banana, muffin, milk (more like gilk), water(more like "why you"), mama, daddy, what, car, button, kiss, cuddle, Cars 2... I could go on and on but basically he says one word things from his daily world.
2. He can sing the ABC's and when presented with flashcards, only typically misses about 7 letters out of the whole alphabet.
3. He can count to 10, usually.
4. He can say and identify some colors and shapes.
5. He does not put words into sentences. He simply speaks in one or two word phrases.
6. He cannot hold a conversation.
7. He can understand when you ask him a question but can't always answer it.
7. Yesterday I heard someone singing the lyrics to the song on the radio perfectly. I thought it was Brooks. I looked back and it was Sasha! That was a nice surprise.
That's basically where he is at. Like I said, he is a little over 3 and he has been home from the orphanage for about 20 months now after spending his first 18 months there. So, is this typical? Is this where he should be? Should I be concerned? What should my realistic expectations be? Any and all help, suggestions, prayers for Sasha's growth in this area... any thing at all would be so helpful at this point because I am feeling a bit lost here. Thank you!!!
He was so excited when he woke up from his nap and saw the house was transformed for his party. He was beaming! I'll never forget the look on his face... what a joy!
The cake I made him. I am not a big fan of a lot of food coloring, so this was my solution. To not have the whole cake be a big giant red monster but rather to just put his face on top. Sasha loved it!
Checking to make sure he has a birthday banner up, just like his brothers, in the exact spot the others were placed. Such a smartie!
Our perfect little party. Sasha had one of his favorite treats for dinner too... mac n cheese!
Such a cute older brother!
He was pretty excited to be the center of attention while we were singing Happy Birthday!
Sasha actually ate his cake this year! Last year he wouldn't touch it.
Brooks tried to get Sasha to eat his cake on his own, like this..
Daddy tried too but alas, all the attempts were unsuccessful. Sasha just laughed at them!
Elmo pinata before it got smashed. It was kind of sad hitting Elmo... I mean, look how happy he is!
His brothers got him a candy jar filled with his favorite treats, M&M's! He loved that!
An Elmo costume for Halloween!
An Elmo shirt... what's not to love!
This was his big gift... an "aquarium" (that plugs in & doesn't require food or water changes, yay!) from Gram & Pa. He loved it as did his brothers as well! This is from the next day... Sasha couldn't get enough of it!
First, let me start off by saying that I am really behind on my blogging and for that I apologize. Sasha has a wonderfully large group of supporters out there who mean so much to us and my intention has always been to keep blogging so everyone can watch his progress and growth. Sometimes, things get a little busy though and before you know it... it has been 2 months since a blog has been written! So, instead of getting stressed about all the things I haven't posted but wanted to... I am going to just try and start blogging again from where we are at now and if I get to the previous posts eventually, then all the better! So where are we now? Well the post I wanted to start off this new year with is about a gift that Sasha received for Christmas.
Oh, & did I forget to mention that the other boys each got a Fire as well (well not daddy but the little ones... oh and me as well)! Thanks Ami & Papi for the Fires & thank you Gram & Pa for loading all of them up with great material! The boys are very happy (as am I)!
I just had to add this one in because he is just so cute... plus, it shows just how big he is getting. This was taken on New Year's Eve. Doesn't he look so much older?!
Working on his shapes & letters... sideways of course. He loves to push all the wrong answers before he pushes the right one, even though he knows it... that little bugger! Look at that smile!
Sasha loves Go Dog Go & was so excited to read it on the Fire. He was flipping through the pages like crazy & kept going back to his favorite page where they go around & around on the ferris wheel.


An extraordinary culmination for Robert Bly's lifelong intellectual adventure, Collected Poems presents the full magnitude of his body of work for the first time. Bly has long been the voice of transcendentalism and meditative mysticism for his generation; every stage of his work is warmed by his devotion to the art of poetry and his affection for the varied worlds that inspire him. Influenced by Emerson and Thoreau alongside spiritual traditions from Sufism to Gnosticism, he is a poet moved by mysteries, speaking the language of images. Collected Poems gathers the fourteen volumes of his impressive oeuvre into one place, including his imagistic debut, Silence in the Snowy Fields(1962); the clear-eyed truth-telling of his National Book Award–winning collection, The Light Around the Body (1967); the masterful prose poems of The Morning Glory (1975); and the fiercely introspective, uniquely American ghazals of his latest collection, Talking into the Ear of a Donkey (2011).
A monumental poetic achievement, Collected Poems makes clear why poets and lovers of poetry have long looked to Robert Bly for emotional authenticity, moral authority, and artistic inspiration.

As they attracted men and wealth, and as the Crusading movement became part of the extended politics of Western Europe, the orders themselves became players in European politics. In addition, the Franks, as the attacking force, had at least a temporary advantage.
Some fought over food supply. Participants were not merely excused for their involvement; they actively acquired spiritual merit.
And fight with them [unbelievers] until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should be no hostility except against the oppressors 2: The French army was more fortunate, but it also suffered serious casualties during the journey, and only part of the original force reached Jerusalem in Before continuing with my argument, a word on clarification is needed.
Governance in neighbouring countries was also weak. A few Turks at the walls of the city discovered that a small door, a kerkaporta, used by travelers who came to the city on foot during peacetime, was unlocked.
Most ended up massacred by the Seljuk Turks. Before continuing with my argument, a word on clarification is needed. European traders had always looked to the Mediterranean; now they sought greater control of the goods, routes, and profits.
Arguably, the leadership of the First Crusade is what prevented the army from disintegrating, and although they were not immune to disagreements, the leadership of men like Bohemond and Godfey was an important factor in the success of the First Crusade.
As a response to the call to arms of Pope Urban II and the Church, European states began considering themselves as protectors not only of the Western civilisation but also of the entire Christendom. Note that both empires had become exhausted from years of battling with each other.
Though English kings had inherited great fiefs in France, their homage to the French king was a constant source of trouble. As organized as he was to be a financial success, so disorganized he was in spiritual matters.
Some groups within the army fought with unintended adversaries, including the Hungarians. Pope Urban II was instrumental in unifying these individuals from different walks of life.
When some members of the army led by Peter the Hermit arrived in Constantinople, they began pillaging outside the city in search of food and supplies. He just warns us of its dangers, unless our plans fit into the plans He has for us.
Their money was given to charitable groups. Through this one can see how the successes of the first Crusade are what led to the failures of all those which followed afterwards. They exploited this, taking the key city of Antioch in Juneunder the lead of Bohemond of Taranto.
The crusades were brutal and evil. These trends would have encouraged East-West exchange without military expeditions or the taking of Jerusalem. For the lords of Outremer a compromise with the residents and Muslim powers made sense; they could not live in constant warfare.
For a time, it seemed that the city would be saved, but then a fateful thing happened. Medieval EuropeRoutledge, Holmes G. Few knew what to expect. They further pillaged other communities upon their arrival in Asia Minor.
Trade passed through Italian hands to Western Europe at a handsome profit. At the same time they were professional soldiers, willing to spend long periods in the East. The united armies of Western Europe did not face one united Muslim force, but the various militaries of many different warlords and sultans.
Others pillaged villages for food and valuable items.
For example, the Second Crusade was preached after the loss of the Kingdom of Edessa, and the Third was launched in response to the loss of Jerusalem itself. Some members of these armies fought with unintended factions. Some wandered far enough to reach territories under the control of the Seljuk Turks.
Under pressure from Pope Gregory IX, Frederick and his army finally sailed from Italy in Augustbut returned to port within a few days because Frederick had fallen ill.
There are several reasons why the First Crusade became successful. But most of Europe endorsed the brutal warfare and the reimposition of Catholicism.What Were the Christian Crusades? By agronumericus.com The Name of Christ was abused, misused, and blasphemed by the actions of many of the crusaders.
Secondly, I do not understand why the crusades are even relevant today. The crusades took place from approximately to A.D. That was between and years ago. Christian Pilgrims once were allowed to Jerusalem for a toll but they were robbed, killed, beaten, etc. There were reports of violent attacks on the Christian pilgrims.
The Muslims in the other had their own reason that made more sense that the Crusade was unjustified. The first crusade was mounted to specifically rescue the Holy Land, Jerusalem from the Muslims and return it to the Christian faith.
Urged by Pope Urban II inwho made an inspiration speech. JOIN THE DISCUSSION. This article has 1 comment.
wondering where you got your information from and if you know of any two historians with conflicting opinions about the success of the crusades. Unity within Christian armies as reason for the success of the First Crusade Historian Jonathan Riley-Smith detailed the failures of the People's Crusade.
As mentioned in his book "The Crusades: A History," the lack of military discipline resulted in lack of direction. 1. Muslim leaders were more tolerant of other religions than the Christian and Jewish leaders in Spain.
2. The Arts and Learning cultures thrived under Muslim leaders.
3. They welcomed in scholars and leaders from other religions into their learning centers.


Another form of attachment is the pallet puller.
And forklifts help individuals work faster and be much more efficient.
Forklift Attachments make Lifting of Materials more Efficient forklift accessories were invented to carry heavy materials. In consideration, these substances within the warehouse differ in dimension and weight. And variables like these can make lifting complicated.
Good thing is that there are forklift tools to assist lifting easier. The forklift tools are also called forklift attachments. Like for example, the forklift expansion. It is attached at the branch of the bladder to fit to the largely sized noodle to be raised.
Rather than lifting, this puller is attached at the dictionary to get suitable transfer of mare pallets. These attachments create the forklifts work economically. Forklift covers more labour because of these attachments. They also help to shield the materials in its appropriate place.
The attachments are customized for forklift's size. The forklift can change into different forms for every demand. Fundamentally, forklifts are designed for lifting. But in several instances, the attachments give forklifts more usage. A simple reminder for all forklift operators. Be careful when driving the forklift.
You must know its ultimate goal and use it properly. Using the attachments give forklifts more value to help warehouse functions quicker and effective. They fit the demand for the substance's design and size.
Security can be considered using the designs of these attachments since there's also danger in lifting the substances. The big sized stuff might not fit the tiny forklifts. So, attachments have to be utilized. Even though forklifts can carry large materials than their size, attachments add power to the forklifts. If correctly placed; attachments might help forklifts carry twice as their size. Attachments make forklifts more effective and more productive.


Analysis: The rhyming of the second line of the preceding stanza with lines one and three of the next stanza forms continuity and establishes momentum. Also, the direct statement of the last line certainly addresses the human speaker as well as the human reader. Consider the plot or basic design of the action. It is a symbol of purity and innocence and is often associated with angelic beings in the bible. Many poems use couplets as their base form.
But if you continue on without an ellipsis, include the backslashes that indicate line breaks. Have students in pairs or groups complete the analysis together. Not only does this insinuation add pressure to young men to join the fighting forces, it also—perhaps unintentionally—makes light of the serious injuries that soldiers were incurring on the battlefields. What but design of darkness to appall? In this way, the writer could explore the implications of the dramatic situation even further: why does the speaker ask a question of a mute object? Poetry lovers should understand and discover the importance of analyzing their poems. The major focus will be put on the discussion of the tragedy.
This scene from Julius Caesar stands out, insomuch that Flavius and Marullus, the two Roman noblemen speak in iambic pentameter. Were they correct with their first prediction? Tone and Intonation Speaker So now it is possible to look at the poet and see what details can be obtained from them. As soldiers faced the true realities of war, away from the eager patriotism of their homelands, many became disillusioned by their experiences and the deaths of their friends in battle. If you cite two separate sections using an ellipsis, indicate the range of the sections with a comma separating them 11-15, 18-21. It appears most notably in John 7:34, when Christ says ' And where I am, thither ye cannot come.
The main use of imagery in the starting line of the poem points out that feelings are involved yet they are hidden. Use a full line of ellipses when you delete one or more lines of a poem. What is Poem Analysis How to Write a Poetry Analysis For literature students, it always remains a big question how to analyze? They had prior lives that were shattered by the conflict. Although McCrae did not die in battle, he was a part of the conflict and saw others give up their lives for their common cause. Does the rhetoric seem odd in any way? The Heritage of the Great War. Body of text When writing the main body of text keep in mind you have to reference all ideas to the poem so include a quotation to back up the sentence, otherwise it will be a wasted comparison and not count. As previously mentioned, long quotes are indented 1 inch or 10 spaces from the left margin and aren't surrounded by quotation marks.
The common folk speak in prose, or common writing. Japanese poetry is a very broad sea through which you would experience a great wave of beauty. Owen himself joined the army after being pressured through rhetoric like this used in British propaganda Roberts. To start writing a poetry analysis essay let's look at the prewriting stage. Often, when a reader reads a line of verse, choices of stress and unstress may need to be made. It is still vital to get informed why poets come up on a kind of poem. People hide behind masks because of feelings and not just for the sake of being fake.
Consider the predicates and what they reveal about the speaker. Perhaps the best way to begin scanning a line is to mark the natural stresses on the polysyllabic words. It seems, for Moore understanding is the core factor and basis for forming a specific opinion and thus admiring or evaluating something. It is a simple poem about poor people. This will help students to engage with the subtleties of poetry, beyond the face of the text. Use a colon after a complete sentence that introduces a quotation to avoid a comma splice.
It evokes emotions, sets a moods, tell a stories, and creates deep and deep and universal feelings in its readers. The first step before writing a poem analysis essay is to read the poem with very high attention. Furthermore, has the original purpose survived the test of time and can it be said to be the best indicator of success? This is not true at all. Use some or all of the activities in this teaching guide to get your students excited about poetry! You should make sure each part contributes to explaining the meaning of the poem. Rhyme Royal: The most common form of seven-line stanzas, rhyme royal is believed to have first been used by Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales. In my view, William Blake was successful in bringing up such ideas, and due to his ability to affect the human senses and raise disputable topics, even modern society may benefit from it and come up with certain solutions to the problems he presented. It is both his own obituary and a satirical review of his life and social phenomena in time of his Irish career; it is, on the one hand, his uncover of the dirt and, on the other hand, his egotistical thought of himself.
The next paragraphs The next paragraphs should expand the discussion of the conflict by focusing on details of form, rhetoric, syntax, and vocabulary. The date the poem was posted in day-month-year order. Is it possible to see the gender or age of the speaker? Many statements begin by introducing the poem and author, followed by the point you wish to make. Is it upset, mad, happy, melancholy? If we read the line this way, the statement takes on a musing, somewhat disinterested tone. For example, when comparing something within the text using a metaphor then look at how they are connected and in what way they are expressed? The first and most crucial aspect of writing a poetic analysis essay is to have a line acting as an attention grabber for the readers. Naming the Poem and Poet Your thesis statement will be the one thing that every point in your paper refers back to, so you want it to be as clear as possible. While furthering the comparison of war to a game or show, she also makes the option of not fighting seem boring and lacking in heroism.
For instance, under introduction, the writer should list all the ideas to cover in the introductory paragraph. Deciding What to Write About After selecting or being assigned a poem, read and reread it to see what elements about it jump out at you. From appearance, it is possible to deduce that it could be in sonnet form and if not why did the poet choose to mislead the audience? These quotations should be indented 1 inch 2. With regard to The Little Black Boy, this poem belongs to the genre of lyrical poetry and depicts the social issues that existed at the time of its creation. This statement implies that we are all trapped or controlled by some remote object or entity. Common rhyme schemes are a b a b, x a x a, and a b b a.

Q: Java - Using JOptionPane to display dialog that is read from a text file I am working on a project for a zookeeper to monitor animals.  The zookeeper chooses to monitor an animal who's data is stored in a text file.
If there is important data that needs to be displayed in a dialog box, it contains "*****".  If an animal with important info is entered, I am only able to get 2 dialog boxes to display the important info of the other two animals. I want it to show a dialog box with the important information of only the animal that was entered.  I hope that makes sense, here is my code:
animalsbr = getBufferedReader("animals.txt");
    try {
        while ((currentLine = animalsbr.readLine()) != null) {
            if (currentLine.contains("Animal - " + userAnimal)) {
                // loop until an empty line is found
                do {
                    System.out.println(currentLine = animalsbr.readLine());
                } while (!currentLine.contains("Feeding"));
                System.out.println();
            }
            if (currentLine.contains("*****")) {
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "ATENTION, " + userName + ": " + currentLine.substring(5));
            }
        }
    } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
        System.out.println(fnfe);
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
        System.out.println(ioe);

The formatting is kind of weird, but my text file reads:
Details on lions
Details on bears
Details on dogs
Animal - Lion
Name: Leo
Age: 5
*****Health concerns: Cut on left front paw
Feeding schedule: Twice daily
Animal - Bear
Name: Baloo
Age: 1
Health concerns: None
*****Feeding schedule: None on record
Animal - Dog
Name: Zelda
Age: 1
*****Health concerns: Scratch on left cheek
Feeding schedule: Once a day at 7pm

So with the code I have, if the user enters "Lion", dialog boxes pop up that display the lines with asterisks from the bear and dog's information, but not the lion's.  I tried using mark and reset but couldn't figure anything out with that. How should I fix this?

Everton may have missed out on Moussa Sissoko, but they've spent half for a great complement to Romelu Lukaku.
Heading to Goodison Park is Enner Valencia, the Ecuadorian striker who scored five goals in each of his first two seasons at West Ham.
Valencia, 26, moves on a loan deal that reportedly gives the Toffees a $19 million option to buy next summer.
[ LIVE: Every Deadline Day deal ]
The forward is an integral part of Ecuador's set-up, scoring a pair of goals at the 2014 World Cup and another two at the 2015 Copa America.
He could work wonders for Everton running off big Lukaku, and feasting on playmaking offers from Ross Barkley.
Everton also signed Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Sheffield United and loaned Aiden McGeady to Preston North End.

Randy Torgeson (aka: King of Cubes) was building V-Twins four decades ago as an apprentice with Doc Dytch and later Shorty Axtell, the legendary pioneers of big bore cylinder technology. Those were valuable years, learning all the critical skills in machining and assembling engines that were destined to break records at drag strips on three continents.
Randy put all of his experience in high gear when he opened Hyperformance in 1982, specializing in cylinder head restoration and racing cylinder head modifications. In the 80s, Torgeson launched his first generation of ductile iron Big Jugs cylinders, which are still in operation today on the street and drag strips all over the globe.
A tour through his shop is a real treat for a motor head, with pistons as big as coffee cans, engines and bikes in progress, test bikes, and a state of the art dyno facility.

Tarbatness Road Portmahomack, Tain, IV20 1YA
Tarbat Discovery Centre is a Museum situated in an old church in the beautiful coastal village of Portmahomack, 42 miles North East of Inver
Tarbat Discovery Centre is a Museum situated in an old church in the beautiful coastal village of Portmahomack, 42 miles North East of Inverness. Having been abandoned in 1946 the dilapidated building was saved from ruin in 1980, when it was purchased by the newly formed Tarbat Old Parish Church Preservation Trust.
From an aerial photograph taken in 1984 a curious 'semi-circular crop mark' was spotted in a field south west of the church. A small excavation of the ditch, carried out in 1991, produced material of a date, which presented the possibility of an earlier Pictish settlement on the site. At the same time, whilst clearing the inside of the church, some small fragments of Pictish sculpture were uncovered.
In 1993 the Trust invited Professor Martin Carver of York University to visit the site. Professor Carver was so intrigued that he returned with a team the following year to carry out a geophysical survey. The importance of the archaeology in determining the future of the building was profound and since 1996 major excavations have been ongoing at the site every summer. We now know the site to be the only Pictish monastic settlement found in Scotland to date.
The settlement consists of dedicated workshops for glass-making, metal-working, vellum production and woodworking. There are also farming areas, a millpond and a surfaced road all of which date between the 6th and 11th century AD. There have been numerous beautiful pieces of sculpture unearthed both inside and outside the church and these are now on display inside the Museum.
A total of six churches have existed within the building, the earliest of which dates back to 8th century and the Picts. Its numerous alterations have been incurred by an historical time-line of social, political and religious change.
Opened in 1999, by H.R.H The Prince of Wales, the now beautifully, and sympathetically, restored building is a Museum dedicated to displaying and preserving the heritage of the Tarbat peninsula.

What food do Robins eat?
Why do robins not eat from bird feeders?
Is it true that robins appear when loved ones are near?
When Robins appear Angels are near?
What does seeing a robin mean spiritually?
What bird symbolizes death of a loved one?
Is a woodpecker a sign of death?
What does it mean when you see a bird after someone dies?
What bird is a sign of bad luck?
Is a bird hitting the window An omen?
What does it mean when black birds are around your house?
What does it mean when black crows are around your house?
Do crows mean death is near?
What does the Bible say about crows?
Robins like to eat worms, insects, seeds and fruits and they guard the areas in which these can be found fiercely, although males and females usually do pair up to share at this time of year. When feeding, aim to emulate their natural diet by feeding protein-rich mealworms, energy-rich seeds and soft fruits.
Even the hungriest robin doesn't normally eat birdseed. Robins can't digest seeds, and their beaks are not built for cracking. However, a very smart, very hungry robin that has observed other birds at feeders can learn to try birdseed! Instead, you could buy mealworms at a pet store for your hungry winter robins.
Robins are often seen in the spiritual community as a symbol that loved ones are still there. The Spiritual Centre website explains: "This bird is a visitor and as such should be appreciated as a welcome visitor bringing gifts, it is for you to interpret the gifts it brings.
Robins Appear when Angels are Near Feathers Appear when loved ones are near gift.
Robin symbolism means different things in different cultures. But one thing is for sure: a robin bird meaning is hope, renewal, and rebirth. It symbolizes new beginnings, new projects, and a sign of good things to come.
Woodpeckers are also associated with secret treasures, the underworld and so on. In eastern Slavic traditions, woodpeckers are associated with bad luck and death. It is believed that woodpeckers' tree drumming announces death.
He might be sending these birds as a reminder that he is always around you and wants to make sure you know he is never far away. When loved ones pass, their main concern for us is to let us know that even in death, they are still alive and their soul is still with you. They want you to feel comforted at this time.
In many cultures, the appearance of owls is seen as a bad omen or a sign of death. This is seen in cultures including Native American. The owl is often considered wise and all knowing, so dreaming of owls could represent the approach of death.
Superstitious Beliefs about Birds Flying into Closed Window In some cultures, it is a sign of impending doom when a bird hits a window. Some believe the bird carries a goodwill message, while others believe it's a message of death. So generally, according to all traditions, a bird hitting your window signifies change.
Blackbirds, who have long been seen as messengers of the dead, can bring death and malice simply by hanging around your home. Other birds, including herons, bitterns and crows, may also bring bad luck or news of death if they decide to circle the skies above your property [source: Webster].
If there's only a single black crow near your house, it has a meaning of bad luck, destruction about to come. A pair means good fortune. Two of these birds mean they're bringing either harmony or good news. When there are three black crows, it means a good blessing.
Despite their role as messengers of doom and gloom, it's bad luck to kill a crow. Finding two crows, however, means good luck. Three crows mean health, and four crows mean wealth. Yet spotting five crows means sickness is coming, and witnessing six crows means death is nearby."
God told Job that part of the evidence for God's care of his creation was that he fed the ravens (Job 38:41), a theme that both a psalmist (Ps 147:9) and Jesus echoed: "Consider the crows. They don't plant or harvest. They don't even have a storeroom or a barn. Yet, God feeds them.

Q: Derive a rotation matrix to partial derivative I have the following rotation matrix:

[u  =  [cos θ  -sin θ|  [x
   v]  =  |sin θ   cos θ]    y]

the rotation matrix is 2x2 (I apologize for my bad html skills)
And I need to show that the following is true:
d^2f/dx^2 + d^2f/dy^2 =  d^2f/du^2 + d^2f/dv^2 (d=delta, so it's second derivative)
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated,
Cheers

I only recently started wearing lipstick on a consistent basis, and products within that nature, so lip balms were my main staple for quite the amount of time. These are just a few of my favorites that I usually tend to turn back to.
Usually a lip scrub is an essential, but mine ran out so i'll have to head back down to Fresh Beauty and grab another exfoliant. It's pretty good, but a lip scrub isn't necessary to buy because, it really is one of the easiest DIYs out there.
The Glossier Balm Dotcom is one of the few products that I have repurchased and will continue to do so. It can be used several different ways,but this isn't sponsored so I won't go into the details. I typically use it primarily as a lip balm, and its the best balm I've ever used. I also tend to use it on any dry spots or patches on my face because, its an instant fix. I recently picked up the Coconut scented version and its seriously the perfect amount of fragrance without being overbearing and has a consistent formulation to the original.
For 20% off of Glossier products click here!
The Estee Lauder Lip Conditioner was my original go-to lip balm, but for nearly double the price as the Glossier balm, and slower results, I made a switch. Overall it is a very good moisturizer, but it doesn't last very long so you'll have to constantly reapply. I've actually had this for so long that they've changed the packaging of the product!
This little item the, Nature Republic By Flower Tint Lip Balm was actually a gift and I love this lip balm. It's a clear appearance in the packaging, but when you actually swipe some on, its a sheer pinky-red shade with a slight shimmer. It has very good pigmentation and a perfect summer tint. The person pictured in the lip balm is a K-pop star in case you were wondering, from the group EXO. Not gonna lie, I really do like their music as well. Especially this album.
The Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm isn't actually very moisturizing at all. It does moisturize, but nothing significant. It's a tint with slight moisturizing factors, but a very light tint. It has the appearance of a bold cherry color from the tube, but when you swatch it, its actually a sheer red. Wouldn't repurchase because, the color is very faint and most lipsticks are pretty moisturizing, so I'd opt for a better color payoff.
Lastly, the Fresh Lip Treatment is a very hyped up product, but I don't really see why. It's not that moisturizing, it has a shimmer, and tastes like lemonade. The lemonade part isn't bad but its overbearing at times. I usually just use it for the tint because, the moisturizing properties aren't sufficient for me.
I really want to try the glossier balm dotcom!! Great post!

Folk Legends The Kingston Trio Bring Back Classic Hit "SURVIVORS" With New Recording
April 9, 2020 By MovieDebuts
(L to R): Don Marovich, Mike Marvin and Tim Gorelangton of The Kingston Trio recording "Survivors" in Los Angeles in March, 2020 (Photo Credit: Chris Devlin)
The Kingston Trio, one of the folk era's most successful acts, known for chart-topping hits "Tom Dooley" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" is reviving one of the group's most poignant songs with a brand-new recording of SURVIVORS.
Written by the late John Stewart, who performed alongside founding Trio members Nick Reynolds and Bob Shane, whose songwriting career produced such hits as the Monkees' "Daydream Believer," the 1974 song was inspired by the national trauma brought on by the Watergate scandal.
Against a backdrop of widespread cynicism and doubt, the lyrics of the country-inflected ballad acted as a powerful restorative to a beleaguered populace.
SURVIVORS by the Kingston Trio (OFFICIAL)
With a melodic hook that repeats the phrase, "You are the country, you are the nation, you will survive," interspersed with shout-outs to the various states that make up the Union: "do you hear me, Colorado, do you hear me, California, do you hear me, Ohio?" and accompanied by stunning photography of the country's sweeping landscapes, the song is a rousing call-to-action and a balm on an aching national psyche.

"We've been wanting to re-record this song for three years," notes Mike Marvin, who together with Don Marovich and Tim Gorelangton, comprise the current Trio. Marvin, who was raised by Nick Reynolds and grew up with a ringside seat to the original Trio's rise to superstardom, adds that the song has new relevance given the current crisis confronting the country.
"We are in a terrible cultural and societal crisis. We are in trouble and have zero choice, other than to defeat this virus and prevail," he asserts. The song is being released as a music video dedicated to the "all the nine-to-fivers and heroic first responders" as a paean to working men and women everywhere, all the more so at this time of national crisis.

Gorelangton underscores the timeliness of SURVIVORS in the face of a life-threatening epidemic on an unprecedented scale: "When close to 1,000 Americans have died in 24 hours from COVID-19, any point of light offers hope to people desperately in need. The country needs to know it can survive this and it will."
"One of our greatest joys as we travel the country on our 'Keep The Music Playing' tour is performing for folks who have fond memories of seeing The Kingston Trio live in their youth, in the '60s and 70s," says Marovich, adding "this generation is one of the hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis, so Mike, Tim and I are partnering with Meals on Wheels America" to raise funds to aid programs across the country via social media channels such as @KingstonTrioTour on Facebook.

The Kingston Trio is represented by Producers, Inc. The agency provides a variety of national and international attractions world-wide, including The Trio's current national tour.
Following the COVID-19 outbreak and stay-at-home mandates barring large public gatherings, The Kingston Trio has postponed many of their tour dates until later in the year when the strictures are lifted.

Groups Weigh In to FCC on Media Ownership
Broadcasters on Monday urged the Federal Communications Commission to recognize how competition has changed over the past 30 years and ease media ownership rules, while consumer groups said changes aren't warranted.
In an outpouring of filings on the last date the FCC is to accept comments on its media ownership rule re-examination, all sides are pulling out all the stops.
The National Association of Broadcasters contended that TV stations' deteriorating financial condition threatens their viability and that FCC rules restricting duopolies fails to take account of other competition and called a rule preventing companies from owning newspapers and broadcasters in a market "anachronistic." The group suggested many current FCC rules no longer rest on a firm foundation.
"In a multi-channel environment dominated by consolidated cable and satellite system operators, broadcasters are clearly unable to obtain and exercise any undue market power," NAB said in its filing. "For this reason, the traditional rationale for maintaining a regulatory regime applicable only to local broadcasters and not their competitors is not a proper basis for keeping the current rules."
It urged the FCC to "structure its local ownership rules so that traditional broadcasters and newer programming distributors can all compete on an equitable playing field" and ease rules so that markets of all sizes can more easily form duopolies.
CBS Corp. noted the impact of YouTube, Google and the iPod just since the FCC's last look at competition and warned that broadcasters are being "hobbled" by government regulation.
"The pace of change in the media marketplace is breathtaking and it is only accelerating," it said. "Regulations tailored to the marketplace conditions of what is, relatively speaking, ancient history, have little relevance in today's rapidly evolving and immensely varied media environment. … Without some form of relief to allow broadcasters to compete effectively, [broadcasters' contributions] are put in ever-increasing jeopardy."
Sinclair Broadcast Group urged the FCC to move full speed ahead with revamping its rules but in the meantime start immediately processing waivers for duopolies and ownerships not allowed by its current rules.
"When the commission does address its rules, it must acknowledge that there is no logical or scarcity-based justification for any restrictions on local television ownership," the filing said.
Consumer groups warned an easing would lead to a "dumbing down" of the public, arguing that an appellate court ruling they won that forced the FCC re-examination makes clear the FCC's duty is to ease rules only if doing so can clearly be shown to be in the public interest.
"The commission should not simply consider the effects on the industry's competitive edge in the marketplace. Rather, the commission must place a greater emphasis on whether the public is actually being served by a diversity of voices," said a filing from a coalition of the Prometheus Radio Project, Common Cause, the Media Alliance and the Center for Digital Democracy, among other groups. "It is imperative that the commission seriously weigh the benefits of the current rules to employ a diversity of voices."
Consumers Union, the Consumer Federation of American and Free Press in a separate filing said that despite changes in technology, "Most people still rely on their local newspapers and local television stations as their most important sources of local news." The groups said those sources have a disproportionate impact on public opinion and that their further consolidation would be "highly problematic."
A number of groups commenting had yet to show up Monday on the FCC's comment system.
Rick Cotton, executive VP and general counsel for NBC Universal, said his company's filing would question whether rules drawn years ago fit today's competitive market when the majority of local advertising is sold on cable, competition between broadcasters and cable for eyeballs is intensifying and local news infrastructure is growing more expensive.
"Simply leaving the current regulations in place can't be the right answer," he said.

Zooey Deschanel Dishes on Megan Fox Joining 'New Girl'
Megan Fox wears a casual outfit while stepping out at a pumpkin patch on Tuesday (October 20) in Sherman Oaks, Calif.
The 29-year-old actress was joined by her estranged husband Brian Austin Green and their sons (not pictured).
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live that day, Zooey Deschanel was asked how she feels about Megan joining the cast of New Girl and if she feels intimidated by her beauty.
"I'm really happy, she's beautiful, and very excited she's coming on the show," Zooey said. "I was part of the decision and I'm also happy that I'm able to spend time with my baby and that she's coming on, going to be hilarious, and beautiful, and everything else."

Happy Friday! Don't you just love Fridays?
Ch# 42: Make a "Night" project.
Create any type of project featuring the NIGHT.
Isn't she just gorgeous? This is Little Honey's Mummy by Sassy Studio Designs and I think she's perfect for a night walker! I used her and made a small envelope that is perfect for a gift card, party invitation, or some small treats for someone.
I love her face! She's colored with Spectrum Noir markers and has Stickles on her wrap and Glossy Accents on her lips. The paper is from Immortal Love from DCWV and the flowers are from Recollections. The bakers twine and gems are from my stash.
I've tried to show her from the sides so you can see the dimensions of the envelope. I attached her to the top flap and instead of using something like velcro to magnets to keep the envelope shut, I used the bakers twine.
I used a piece of cardstock to hide the side and bottom seam. I just love this glittery dark paper and how it just shines!
Make sure to stop by our Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge blog and see what my oh so talented Design Team buddies have in store for you. They never disappoint! And play along and show us your night!
Enter your NIGHT project below!
Oh my!! Her eyes are so gorgeous Susan!! Wowzers ghoulfriend! Beautiful job!
Very Beautiful!!!Fabulous!!Amazing job on the coloring!

New Jersey's eviction moratorium expires Saturday amid latest COVID-19 surge
As of November, judges faced a backlog of over 50,000 landlord-tenant nonpayment cases

New Jersey's eviction moratorium officially ends on January 1 amid an ongoing surge of COVID-19 cases. Above is Gov. Murphy in August, when he signed legislation to extend the moratorium for low-to-moderate income tenants who completed an income certification form.
As 2021 winds to a close, so will New Jersey's statewide eviction moratorium for tenants who have fallen behind on the rent. This safety measure was put in place during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic back in March 2020, and later extended for some low-income tenants by Gov. Phil Murphy earlier in 2021.
The expiration of the emergency law coincides with the surge in COVID-19 cases in New Jersey.

Beginning on Jan. 1, landlords can pursue eviction for nonpayment of rent accrued before March 2020 and after Aug. 31, 2021, for any tenant, including low-income residents who have not completed an income self-certification form. The form provides additional eviction protection for tenants whose household incomes are less than 80% of their county's median.
For those who have already completed the form, landlords can pursue eviction for nonpayment of rent accrued before the pandemic or after Dec. 31.
A notice published by the Governor's office during the summer explains that the limitations on eviction going forward would be based on household income levels, including evictions for nonpayment of rent up until Dec. 31. For tenants whose households earn more than 80% of the median income level, the eviction moratorium expired on Aug. 31.
Though the eviction moratorium is ending, it is unclear how eviction court proceedings will go, as the courts have more than 50,000 landlord-tenant cases in their backlog as of the end of November.
Emergency protections related to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are dwindling even as cases rise, though Murphy ended New Jersey's emergency declaration order in June after nearly a year and a half.

Fall is an extraordinary time in Salisbury and the surrounding area, and this Fall has been no exception. The leaves have been beautiful. Although the peak has passed for this season tonight we caught the trees as the sun set and the result (with no filter) was spectacular.

Les Rattlers de Dallas (Dallas Rattlers en anglais) sont une équipe américaine professionnelle de crosse, basée à Frisco, Texas. Depuis la saison 2001, ils évoluent dans la Major League Lacrosse (MLL) ; dans la Division nationale (National Division) de 2001 à 2005, dans la Conférence Est (Eastern Conference) de 2006 à 2008 et dans la Ligue unique depuis 2011. De 2001 à 2008 et de 2011 à 2017, l'équipe était basée à Rochester, dans l'État de New York, et s'appelait alors les « Rattlers de Rochester ».

Histoire

Rattlers de Rochester
En 2001 et 2002 l'équipe a disputé ses matchs à domicile au stade Frontier Field (). Ils ont ensuite joué au Bishop Kearney Field de 2003 à 2005, et sont entrés dans le nouveau Sahlen's Stadium en 2006. Les Rattlers ont participé aux séries éliminatoires en 2001 et 2005 comme joker. Ils furent champions de la Division nationale en 2004. Le , les Rattlers de Rochester ont gagné un match (dans les prolongations) 27 à 26 contre les Outlaws de Denver avec le marquage le plus élevé dans l'histoire de la MLL au INVESCO Field at Mile High.

En 2008, les Rattlers ont remporté leur premier et seul championnat MLL en battant le Barrage de Philadelphie 16-15 en prolongation en demi-finale et les Outlaws de Denver 16-6 dans le match de championnat.

Après la saison 2008, l'équipe a été dissoute et les droits à l'équipe ont été vendus à un groupe de Toronto, en Ontario, le . L'effectif des Rattlers et l'encadrement ont été transférés dans la nouvelle franchise de Toronto, nommé les « Nationals de Toronto ». Cependant, l'histoire des Rattlers, les couleurs de l'équipe, et le nom sont restés à Rochester (qui dispute l'intégralité de sa saison 2015 à l'Eunice Kennedy Shriver Stadium), permettant ainsi au Machine de Chicago de renaître sous la dénomination « Rattlers de Rochester » de 2011 à 2017.

Rattlers de Dallas
Le , la MLL annonce que les Rattlers sont déplacés à Dallas pour la saison 2018 et prennent le nom de « Rattlers de Dallas ». À cette occasion, l'entraineur Tim Soudan ne suit pas l'équipe au Texas et est remplacé par son ancien assistant Bill Warder.

When you think of blockchain, the first thing you think of is probably cryptocurrency where blockchain is the enabling technology. But, aside from financial services, blockchain has the potential to revolutionise many other industries due to its ability to securely record transactions around an incorruptible digital ledger.
The potential for the high stakes pharmaceutical industry to benefit from the use of blockchain is huge, solving problems both for the pharma businesses and the medical staff and patients they serve — and in some cases, it is already doing so.
Many factors can affect medicines before they reach a patient. Things can go wrong, and not just during the manufacturing process. Steps on the supply chain, such as shipping and warehousing, bring their own dangers.
Although all companies involved in the supply chain will monitor these factors independently, there is no centralised way of tracking everything that has happened to a medicine on its journey from production facility to patient. Blockchain can solve this problem: it creates a uniform method of recording the entire supply chain, rather than relying on the accounts of individual companies.
This is important, for instance, as some vaccines must be stored below a certain temperature during transportation, or they risk losing their effectiveness. In this case, blockchain ensures everyone in the supply chain adheres to the correct standards.
If the temperature of a drug has exceeded its recommended level during transportation, blockchain makes it easy to see when and where the mistake took place, so remedies can be applied. Using smart contracts, pharmaceutical companies could even financially penalise the logistics firm for the error.
The benefit to patients from the use of blockchain in healthcare is simple: they receive better quality healthcare through the application of pristine medicine. Ethical issues aside, for pharma businesses, blockchain tracking reduces the likelihood of lawsuits, damage to corporate reputation and the resultant effect on stock price that can arise from patients taking substandard drugs.
In addition to its ability to assure the integrity of a drug's supply chain, blockchain can also verify the authenticity of the drug itself. The counterfeiting of medicines and equipment represents a significant problem for the pharma industry, besides posing an obvious threat to patients' health. This problem is particularly prevalent in the developing world, where the World Health Organisation estimates that 10 per cent of medicines are counterfeit and substandard.
Using blockchain, every individual package of medicine can be identified with a unique code that cannot be altered, allowing drug companies, wholesalers, and even individual sellers, to check the legitimacy of their medicines. If all parties — including those located in developing countries — were to adhere to this model, it would be near impossible for counterfeits to enter the supply chain undetected.
Patients benefit most from this use of blockchain in healthcare, as the medicine prescribed or administered to them by clinicians is guaranteed to be authentic. For businesses in pharma, blockchain can help eliminate the loss of revenue or trust incurred in the face of counterfeit drugs.
In fact, there are live examples of blockchain being used to fight these issues. Pharma giant Novartis is using blockchain to pinpoint counterfeit drugs in the supply chain, as well as track temperature changes in real-time.
Around 3 per cent of medicines and medical equipment are returned to manufacturers because they are unsold, costing the industry a total of $7 billion every year.
Pharma businesses, if they wish, can put these drugs back on the market. However, American and EU regulation requires that their authenticity is re-verified—a difficult task for pharma companies, who may not be fully up-to-date with their medicines' itineraries and conservation history while out of their control.
The EU already has a centralised database where pharma producers can upload their medicines' serial numbers, allowing distributors to check this to verify a drug's authenticity. However, this is not yet the case in the US. Pharmaceutical company Merck is experimenting with blockchain to develop a system that tracks every time a drug package changes hands.
When a package moves from the manufacturer to a logistics company, to a wholesaler and perhaps back again, blockchain technology records all relevant details. As such, it makes it easier for pharma businesses to match their production to demand without having to build volumes for wastage.
Such systems also support inventory management, helping drug companies anticipate periods of higher demand and ensure every market has enough supply.
Blockchain is also being used to raise standards of patient confidentiality in clinical trials, with its highly secure model bringing peace of mind to subjects who might have been reticent to participate initially.
If using blockchain in healthcare can make pharma businesses more efficient and more profitable, there exists the potential to increase investment into new treatments. This will only benefit patients' health further — a virtuous cycle we can all get behind.

Simon and Dreyfuss make a real mess out of 'Lost in Yonkers'
By Stephen Hunter
He's such a pleasant man, so affable and decent and committed. Who could suspect that under Neil Simon's breast there beats the heart of a monster, a cunning, hopelessly vulgar comedio-maniac who breaks out and wreaks havoc? Call them two men; call them Dr. Simon and Mr. Neil.
Between them, these two gentlemen manage to ruin "Lost in Yonkers" -- the first, by not fighting hard enough, the second by fighting too hard.
Dr. Simon is a physician of the heart, profoundly interested in dysfunctional families, particularly his own, and the pain they seem to generate like vapors. Dr. Simon is tough and honest and unafraid to look at the dark heart of things. Dr. Simon is interesting.
But . . . Mr. Neil won't let this good man do his humble deeds. No, never. Mr. Neil has got to infuse the crass schmaltz of show biz, the vulgar squawks of shtick, the endless, almost sociopathic impulse to turn every line into a joke, every character into a cartoon on Dr. Simon's work, and the result is a movie that seems to be written scene by alternating scene by the two of them.
As it breaks down, this means that Dr. Simon has written the wonderful parts of "Lost in Yonkers," about an almost sociopathically cold German-Jewish matriarch who cannot bring herself to feel for her children or her grandchildren and how her retarded daughter and two of her grandsons struggle with her coldness and attempt to come to terms with it.
Irene Worth is literally astonishing as proud old Grandma Kurnitz, whose compassion was burned out of her when she buried two of her children and whose hard life has only taught the double-matrix lesson of responsibility and numbness. She runs a candy store in Yonkers, N.Y., during World War II with the cold and relentless precision of a manufacturer of microscopes, a tyrant queen to all and a mother from hell.
Dr. Simon has a professional craftsman's instincts for setups. In this one, mama's widowed son, wracked by financial problems, has to go on the road, so he reluctantly turns to his old and hated mother to care for his two boys, Jay and Arty (Brad Stall and Mike Damus). Thus we watch the goings-on in the household through their fascinated, terrified eyes.
Dr. Simon still has a brilliant ear for relationships and co-dependencies, the latticework of emotions that both bind and drive apart this tortured agglomeration.
The true victim is Grandma's daughter Bella, played with a brilliant mix of naivete and heart by Mercedes Ruehl. The doctor never tells us exactly what her problem is, but she functions at a very low level and desperately wants to escape. Grandma, of course, cannot allow that -- her need to tyrannize the helpless person that she has created is too strong. This drama -- the need for freedom and selfhood waged against a totalitarian parent -- is the stuff of great heroism and incredible emotion.
But it's as if a nasty little dybbuk perches on Dr. Simon's shoulder and begins to whisper, "It isn't funny enough, bubeleh. Make it funny. You worked for Sid Caesar, remember? Turn it into 'Your Show of Shows.' " And so Mr. Neil bursts from Dr. Simon's brow.
The comic spirit is represented by an over-the-top Richard Dreyfuss playing one of mama's other sons, a vague gangster called "Uncle Louie" from the planet of the Sheldon Leonard imitators. Sheldon Leonard was a movie tough guy of the '30s and '40s, the original dem, dose and dese guy, and it's as if Dreyfuss wants to turn the movie into a one-man Sheldon Leonard film festival. What is this guy doing in this movie?
His Louie is a wisecracking, corner-of-the-mouth talking showboat who carries a gun and wears loud ties. He's being hunted by two other thugs for the contents of a mysterious "black bag," a primitive device that Mr. Neil doesn't even bother to explain.
Guess what? Funny he's not. Not even my little toe laughed. Uncle Louie doesn't relate to any one else in the family. It seems incredible that he could have issued from Grandma's loins. In any event, Dreyfuss' cartoon performance, essentially a ploy to pad out what must have been a dreary second act, all but destroys the film.
And what was director Martha Coolidge doing while Dreyfuss was eating the carpet and the scenery and the caterer's truck and half of the Cincinnati that stands in for Yonkers? She appears to have devoted herself to the subtler and more resonant portions of the story, as if she'd given up on her braying movie star. In all, "Lost in Yonkers" is lost in no place.
