The heartbreak of a good biography is finding out that the artist whose work sings to you is not the person of your imagination. It's almost like a friendship breaking up over irreconcilable differences. The joy of a great biography is reveling in all the nooks and crannies of the artist whose work speaks to you. Mark Dery's representation of Edward Gorey's life is well-researched—including interviews with friends, family, and colleagues—and often feels too intimate, probing as deeply as possible into an ultra private man whose public persona was a purposeful put-on. The brilliant title and chapter headings are Gorey-esque: A Suspiciously Normal Childhood, Sacred Monsters, Epater le Bourgeois, Nursery Crimes, etc. Dery has sectioned Gorey's life into childhood, education, career moves, and his various obsessions, the main ones being literature high and low, silent movies, and the ballet choreography of George Balanchine, with their corresponding closely-knit fan groups. Any Gorey fan can learn something new in this biography, for the man was quite complex, and he apparently needed little sleep, working on something every moment possible, from his little books sold successfully at Gotham Book Mart, through his book cover art and collaborations, to his work in theater and television. Though far from an open book, Gorey's career flowed easily through profound and lasting friendships, Dery presenting the development and arc of such friendships with a light touch. Themes running throughout the biography are Gorey's complex parental relationships, his tendency to keep himself to himself while handing out sardonic opinions like candy, and speculation upon his sexual orientation. Though he'd answered the question of his sexual orientation, speculation continued, with "evidence" pointed out in his work and life. Though Dery may reference the evidence and speculation a bit much, he offers a comprehensive gathering of Gorey's work and a well-thought-out timeline of his life, with a wonderful takeaway that Gorey made his art to please himself. It's a must-read biography of a man as interesting and mysterious as his little books of Victorian / Edwardian children suffering unusual demises. Little, Brown & Company graciously sent me an ARC of this fantabulous biography for an honest review.

Kim Kardashian has posted a series of her crying photographs to show people just how 'ugly' she can look.
"Ok, I have to admit I do not look cute crying! LOL! And I do cry a lot," news.com.au quoted Kardashian as posting on her blog.
"These pics are so ugly I just had to share (sic)," she said.
The images are a range of still shots taken from her various TV shows but it's unclear whether the 31-year-old was just turning on the waterworks for the cameras or not.

Spanish Civil War Novels
Professor Lo Ré with one of the novels
The Rare Book Collection was delighted to receive a visit this spring from Professor Anthony George Lo Ré, UNC alumnus and retired faculty member of the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures. Professor Lo Ré received his doctorate from Chapel Hill in 1965 with a thesis entitled The Novel of the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1960. To complete his dissertation, he corresponded with forty novelists and collected first and significant editions of their books. In 2004, he honored the University Library by donating his collection of over one hundred Spanish Civil War novels to the RBC.
The Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939) began when armed Nationalists rose up against the Popular Front, a coalition of Liberals, Socialists, and Communists that was elected to govern the Second Republic of Spain. Hitler supported the Nationalists, led by General Francisco Franco, and the Republicans turned to the Soviet Union for aid. Foreigners sympathetic to the Republicans fought in the International Brigades, a phenomenon famously fictionalized by Ernest Hemingway in his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940).
PQ6605 .A857 V4 1956
While many in the U.S. know Hemingway's book, few know the dozens of Spanish-language novels that appeared during the war years. Publication also flourished a decade later, as Professor Lo Ré established in his thesis. One of the most popular of the second wave of novels was El Vengador [The Avenger] (1956), by José Luis Castillo Puche, a friend of Hemingway. Castillo Puche, according to the account he gave to Professor Lo Ré, had a complex personal history that intersected with different aspects of the conflict. He served in the Red Army, while his family was persecuted and almost exterminated; he experienced a religious crisis at the end of the war and entered a Roman Catholic seminary; and he subsequently abandoned his religious vocation to study journalism. Castillo Puche wrote El Vengador out of a need for inner peace, as he noted in his letter of July 27, 1960, which is printed in the appendix of Professor Lo Ré's thesis. Castillo Puche's Hicieron Partes (1958) had won Spain's National Prize of Literature. However, the author judged El Vengador to be his novel that had had the most success—a novel about the futility and sterility of vengeance. The original edition's existentialist cover art certainly resonates with that message.
When Professor Lo Ré acquired El Vengador over half a century ago, it was a recent publication. Today, it and the other novels he donated to RBC have the patina of the past. Thanks to Professor Lo Ré's generosity, researchers now have the opportunity to consult these evocative volumes at Wilson and examine one of the twentieth century's most polarizing world events through the literature it engendered.

Samuel Daniel's Civil Wars (1609)
Samuel Daniel, Civile Wares (1609). William A. Whitaker Fund
Civil wars have served as catalysts for drastic changes in national and political identities all over the world. One of England's major civil wars was actually a series of civil wars, known as the Wars of the Roses, during the 15th century between the houses of Lancaster and of York, both branches of the royal House of Plantagenet. The members of the House of Lancaster, represented by the red rose, and of York, represented by the white rose, were rivals for the English throne.
Here at the Rare Book Collection, we've acquired an exciting new (for us) copy of Samuel Daniel's The Civile Wares Between the Howses of Lancaster and Yorke from 1609, a landmark historical account of England's monarchs with an interesting history of revision.
Known commonly by its shortened title Civil Wars, Daniel's principal work of poetic history has perhaps most famously been cited as one of the main sources for Shakespeare's history plays, particularly the second tetralogy and primarily, therein, his Richard II. The 1609 edition is the final edition of a work that had been revised various times since the publication of the original text nearly fifteen years earlier in 1595. Daniel's 1595 Civil Wars was a four-book work, which would later be extended into the eight books of the 1609 edition.
The revisions in 1609 demonstrate, as scholar Gillian Wright has suggested, a fundamental change in Daniel's attitude toward English civil wars and what constitutes the rightful relationship between a monarch and his/her people. Whereas the 1595 edition privileges the monarch's rights in condemning rebellion, the 1609 revisions seem to present a shift toward favoring the importance of just government, public good, and the ability of a monarch to fulfill the duties of office.
Among the more famous of the revised episodes is Daniel's account of the Battle of Shrewsbury, which, it has been argued, was likely influenced in turn by Shakespeare's Henry IV Part I. Daniel's 1609 Civil Wars thus stands not only as a remarkable achievement in English history writing but also as a fascinating example of intertextual influence in early modern England.
Our newly acquired copy has the remarkable 1609 engraved title-page, with a portrait of Daniel by Thomas Cockson. The portrait is set in the center in a large oval platter. Above the portrait, encased in a similar border, are the title of the work and Daniel's motto which, according to scholar S. Clark Hulse, announces Daniel's "Virgilian poetic course": Ætas prima canat veneres postrema tumultus—"Let the first age sing of love, the latter of confusion."
An inscription on the title-page tells us the copy belonged to one John Yorke, but it is difficult to ascertain who he may have been among the many notable John Yorkes in history. Nonetheless, that this previous owner shares his name with one of the warring houses Daniel depicts invites us to speculate what his relationship may have been with the House of York.

For Aviva Ajmera, Business Journals Leadership Trust is a Community of Intellectually Stimulating Peers
Aviva Ajmera honed her entrepreneurial skills at an unlikely place. For more than 14 years, she worked at Hallmark Cards, where she started as a summer intern and then moved into a leadership development program. "I had the opportunity to rotate around the company and I never had a job that existed before I got into that job," says Ajmera. "I was always given a blank sheet of paper and told 'go figure this out.' I had a very entrepreneurial experience."
Her last several roles in senior management positions at Hallmark were almost internal consulting positions, in which Ajmera was tasked with solving specific problems and reporting to corporate officers. But, she says, "I got to the point where I'd been there a long time and I thought 'if I want to try something new, now's the time.'" So she joined The Partnering Group and immersed herself in the world of corporate consulting. While she loved working with clients in a variety of industries and solving problems, she hated the travel. "My daughter was in middle school and she was growing up and I just wasn't there enough," she recalls.
A conversation with a friend from her early Hallmark days led her to make a key decision. She had entrepreneurial skills combined with consulting expertise, so why not start her own company, with a focus on bringing value to local Kansas City organizations? It wasn't an easy decision. "I am naturally a pretty risk-averse person," Ajmera concedes. "I like having lots of data and I love knowing the plan. When you're an entrepreneur you can create a plan. But until you start living it, you don't know how it's really going to play out." Nonetheless, in 2015 she took the leap and started Solve KC with her friend, who has since left the partnership.
"[Expert Panels position me as a thought leader on different topics. I do think it adds some richness and legitimacy to the firm and to me as a leader."
"We're all about helping companies grow," says Ajmera. While much of her previous experience was with consumer packaged goods companies, she knew that the best practices models she had implemented for CPG companies were broadly applicable. So her company works with startups, larger companies, and with nonprofit organizations. "Our firm does work in a variety of areas, but most often we are asked to help with strategic planning," she says. "We might help with marketplace assessment, with organizational design, or with just building out other elements that are a part of their strategic plan." Approximately 40% of Solve's clients are nonprofits that often engage the company to help their organizations become more high performing. While she has no full-time employees, she works with a group of trusted sub-contractors on an as-needed basis.
One of the most distinctive aspects of her approach, says Ajmera, is that in addition to creating a strategic plan, her company also works with clients to develop a three year detailed implementation plan. "I call that their playbook and I teach them how to create it," she explains. "Because I've been the client and I've been the consultant, and I know what works best." The collaborative process ensures that the plan does not merely sit on a shelf, which Ajmera would consider a failed engagement. "They own it because they built it," she says. Another differentiating factor: Solve makes annual gifts to nonprofit organizations suggested by clients.
In the beginning of 2020, Ajmera and her husband went on vacation internationally. Her pipeline for Solve was filled through the end of the year and she looked forward to starting her big client work in March. And then COVID hit and every client put the work on hold. "I went from a full pipeline to nothing," she says. So she decided to take full advantage of the enforced down time and worked on her company's infrastructure, creating new intellectual property and standard operating procedures. By Thanksgiving, clients started trickling back and Ajmera had everything in place to serve them. One of her first engagements: a virtual board retreat.
Ajmera is an inaugural member of Kansas City Business Journal Leadership Trust. "I always like being at the forefront of things," she says. "When you're an entrepreneur, you do kind of feel isolated sometimes because you're just trying to drive the business all the time. I like the intellectual stimulation of connecting with other professionals, not only in the Kansas City area, but across the country." She's a regular contributor to Expert Forums, which she shares on LinkedIn and other social media. "It positions me as a thought leader on different topics," she says. "I do think it adds some richness and legitimacy to the firm and to me as a leader."

LIVERPOOL scraped past Augsburg and into the last-16 of the Europa League after a nervy 1-0 win at Anfield.
James Milner's fifth-minute penalty proved decisive but, despite creating a number of chances, it was far from convincing. However, the job was completed, just, without too much damage - and the need for energy-sapping extra-time - to allow Jurgen Klopp and his players to concentrate on Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Manchester City.
Aside from the result, the real positive was another 65 minutes in the bank for Daniel Sturridge, making his third consecutive start for the first time since last March, who looked Liverpool's most dangerous player and will be the key man again at Wembley.
Even before kick-off, the numbers were loaded in Liverpool's favour as they had played German opposition 16 times at Anfield and never lost, winning 13 matches and keeping 12 clean sheets. But those figures hardly added up to much in the context of a game which became increasingly tense with such a slender lead.
Following a scare after just 46 seconds when Caiuby fired over after being given a free run through, the hosts settled into their stride and were ahead by the fifth minute. Dominik Kohr and Caiuby got themselves in a tangle trying to deal with Jordan Henderson's cross, resulting in the former handling. Milner tucked the penalty inside Marwin Hitz's left-hand post and just out of the reach of the goalkeeper for his second successive spot-kick in home European games.
Liverpool's attacking trio of Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino were displaying a greater understanding of each other on their third consecutive start together and that caused Augsburg plenty of problems in the final third. It was only the smart reactions of Hitz which kept the score to 1-0 at half-time as he saved from Coutinho, brilliantly tipped over Firmino's deflection and denied Sturridge at the same near post with another outstanding low stop.
But despite their dominance, there was the occasional concern at the other end, with Simon Mignolet palming away left-back Kostas Stafylidis' shot and Caiuby rolling a shot wide having rounded the goalkeeper from a short backpass by midfielder-turned-centre-back Lucas Leiva.
Sturridge should have put the game beyond Augsburg just after the break when a misplaced pass by Christoph Janker was returned by Coutinho but, having side-stepped Ragnar Klavan, he rolled a right-footed shot wide of the far post. It was his last meaningful action as Divock Origi replaced him just after the hour but, with Augsburg sensing their chance, Mignolet had one dash to the edge of his area to beat Tobias Werner to a dangerous through-ball.
Hitz's superb reactions were tested again when Origi's cross was deflected at him by team-mate Halil Altintop and then Henderson stabbed the ball at him from seven yards. The final 10 minutes was the most nervy of affairs as, after substitute Jan Moravek volleyed wide, the majority of the hearts inside Anfield skipped a beat as Stafylidis's 89th-minute free-kick dropped just over the crossbar.
Having fallen at this hurdle on their last two attempts, the latest 12 months ago in a penalty shoot-out against Besiktas, progress has at least been made.

Cardinal Burke calls for Consecration of Russia to Immaculate Heart of Mary
By Pete 09/17/2017
ROME, May 19, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Cardinal Raymond Burke issued a call this morning for the Catholic faithful to "work for the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
Cardinal Burke, who is one of the four Cardinals who have asked Pope Francis for a clarification of Amoris Laetitia, made his appeal at the Rome Life Forum, in the month of the centenary of Our Lady of Fatima's first apparition to the three shepherd children.
Burke is the former prefect of the Apostolic Signatura and current Patron of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.
In a comprehensive address on "The Secret of Fatima and a New Evangelization," Cardinal Burke, in the presence of fellow dubia Cardinal Carlo Caffarra, outspoken Kazakhstan Bishop Athanasius Schneider and over 100 life and family leaders from 20 nations, said that the triumph of the Immaculate Heart would mean much more than the ending of world wars, and the physical calamities that Our Lady of Fatima predicted.
"As horrible as are the physical chastisements associated with man's disobedient rebellion before God, infinitely more horrible are the spiritual chastisements for they have to do with the fruit of grievous sin: eternal death," he said.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/full-text-cardinal-burkes-historic-call-for-consecration-of-russia
He expressed agreement with one of the foremost Fatima scholars, Frère Michel de la Sainte Trinité, who said that the promised triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary undoubtedly refers firstly to "the victory of the Faith, which will put an end to the time of apostasy, and the great shortcomings of the Church's pastors."
Turning to the current situation in the Church in light of Our Lady of Fatima's revelations, Burke said:
The teaching of the Faith in its integrity and with courage is the heart of the office of the Church's pastors: the Roman Pontiff, the Bishops in communion with the See of Peter, and their principal co-workers, the priests. For that reason, the Third Secret is directed, with particular force, to those who exercise the pastoral office in the Church. Their failure to teach the faith, in fidelity to the Church's constant teaching and practice, whether through a superficial, confused or even worldly approach, and their silence endangers mortally, in the deepest spiritual sense, the very souls for whom they have been consecrated to care spiritually. The poisonous fruits of the failure of the Church's pastors is seen in a manner of worship, of teaching and of moral discipline which is not in accord with Divine Law.
The call for the consecration of Russia is for some controversial, but Cardinal Burke addressed the reasons for his appeal simply and straightforwardly. "The requested consecration is at once a recognition of the importance which Russia continues to have in God's plan for peace and a sign of profound love for our brothers and sisters in Russia," he said.
"Certainly, Pope Saint John Paul II consecrated the world, including Russia, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on March 25, 1984," said Cardinal Burke. "But, today, once again, we hear the call of Our Lady of Fatima to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart, in accord with her explicit instruction."
The want for the 'explicit' mention of Russia in the consecration as requested by Our Lady was desired by Pope John Paul II, but not undertaken due to pressure from counselors. This fact was confirmed most recently by the official representative of Pope Francis at the Fatima anniversary celebration last week in Karaganda, Kazakhstan.
Speaking on May 13, Cardinal Paul Josef Cordes, former president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum, recalled his conversation with Pope John Paul II after the 1984 consecration, or "entrustment," which took place March 25, when the statue of Our Lady of Fatima was in Rome.
"Obviously, for a long time [the pope] had dealt with that significant mission which the Mother of God had given to the seer children there," Cordes said. "However, he held back to mention Russia explicitly, because the Vatican diplomats had urgently asked him not to mention this country because otherwise political conflicts might perhaps arise."
For those who may still object to calling for the consecration of Russia, Cardinal Burke recalled the words of Pope St. John Paul II who in 1982 during his consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart noted: "Mary's appeal is not for just once. Her appeal must be taken up by generation after generation, in accordance with the ever new 'signs of the times'. It must be unceasingly returned to. It must ever be taken up anew."
Instructing the faithful, Cardinal Burke taught that Our Lady of Fatima "provides for us the means to go faithfully to her Divine Son and to seek from Him the wisdom and strength to bring His saving grace to a profoundly troubled world."
Cardinal Burke outlined six means Our Lady gave at Fatima for the faithful take part in the restoration of peace in the world and in the Church:
to pray the Rosary each day
to wear the Brown Scapular;
to make sacrifices for the sake of saving sinners;
to make reparation for offenses to her Immaculate Heart by means of the First Saturday devotion; and
to convert our own lives ever more to Christ.
Lastly, she asks the Roman Pontiff, in union with all the Bishops of the world, to consecrate Russia to her Immaculate Heart.
"By these means, she promises that her Immaculate Heart will triumph, bringing souls to Christ, her Son," Cardinal Burke added. "Turning to Christ, they will make reparation for their sins. Christ, through the intercession of His Virgin Mother, will save them from Hell and bring peace to the whole world."

Our Blessed Mother is as Jesus ordered is Co-Redemtrix. Her message has to be carried out exactly as she has requested I pray for Cardinal Burke and his efforts surly Pope Benidict should be called upon to do this and make amends for his neglect of carrying out Our Mothers command.
Faith Marrotte
Lucy stated in her book that the last battle between satin and God was about marriage and family. I think we are in the middle of this battle.
Definitely the case Faith. How far in to the battle do you think we might be, the beginning perhaps? If so how and in what way do you think it will play out?
When all is at its worst, then the Warning
Carlo Olivero
LuciA SAID THAT TE 3RD SECRET WAS TO BE TOLD BEFORE 1960 OR BEFORE HER DEATH. She has passed on and the 3rd secret has not been told. It is time for this to happen. With problems we have today, now is the time to promote the secret. All people must BELIEVE in the events of FATIMA to bring peace to the world.
Cardinal Burke has to be complemented for this action. May GOD keep him in his loving arms.


Filmmaker Sidney Lumet was one of the ruling filmmakers of the 70s, his films often unsettled viewers as they rarely showed things as being simply right or wrong. Network, Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon all show us the desperate side of humanity and were generally steeped in tragedy.
One overlooked, but no less impressive, Lumet film is 1980's Prince of the City.
Based on the real-life experiences of New York police officer Robert Leuci (though the names have been changed), an officer that wore a wire for the Feds as part of a large-scale operation to bust corrupt narcotics detective in the Big Apple.
Recruited by the Chase Commission (Assembled to fight corruption within the NYPD),Special Investigations Detective Danny Ciello (Treat Williams playing a fictionalized version of Leuci) agrees to wear a wire and help them build a case against detectives within the narcotics division.
Danny is no choirboy. This is not Elliot Ness, but a man whose own past is filled with the very type of behavior that the Commission is trying to stop. His own vision of right and wrong having been blurred by the years on the force.
While Danny has indeed agreed to help, he makes it clear he will not betray his friends. But as the film goes on, some of the people Danny loves the most are hurt the worst.
I have never really looked at Williams as a serious actor, but his performance here is impressive. His character is a complex one. While he does try to do the right thing, he is also deceitful and conniving at times. I found myself going back and forth in terms of empathizing with Danny.
Armed with an Oscar nominated screenplay (co-written by the director with Jay Preston Allen), Lumet does a fantastic job here. Like with most of his films, there is precious little that is clearly right or wrong.
Sadly, we do not get a commentary track. This is unfortunate because Mr. Lumet has done an excellent job on them for several of his other films. It would have been great to team him up with Leuci and Williams.
The one featurette here is a pretty good one. Prince of the City: The Real Story features comments from Williams, Lumet, Leuci as well as the author of the non-fiction this was taken from. It does give some nice insight into the film, such as Lumet commenting that the ambiguity of the film might be in part because he himself was torn as to how he felt about the protagonist.
As a special edition, this is lacking, but this is the not the second or third DVD version, it is the first. And it is well worth the wait.

In your editorial on September 28 headed The Gap is Closing, you twice gave the inference that Canada has not one but two official languages. I was under the impression that there was but one official language for this Dominion and that one English.
Bilingualism in this country is something one meets in the House of Commons. As you are well aware most French speaking MP's give their speeches in their native tongue, but only a handful of the English speaking members understand and they must digest the speeches next day from Hansard. To claim Canada as a bilingual country is farcical for the only bilingualists in this country are French speaking and they have to learn English.
If, as you claim, this country is bilingual then why did the Quebec Federation of Industrial Relations request Prime Minister St. Laurent to set up a Royal Commission to step us bilingualism?
You claim that bilingualism could strengthen our nation and foster national policy but a two-language policy would do the opposite. There will never be a national unity in Canada as in other countries, notably the U.S.A., until one language and one only is the means of communication between the various races that make up our population.

My laptop is not working. When i turn on it just shows repairing and goes to login page and just stuck there. Even if i type the password it ask again to type password. My laptop is idapad z510.
Did you drop your laptop recently?
You could try removing the HDD from the laptop and inserting it in another computer as a storage drive to try and get your data from the HDD before the drive completely fails.
There is a lot of information online how to do this. Here's just one example.
To remove the HDD from your laptop, here's a link to the service manual for your laptop. Scroll to p.46 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the HDD.
Hi there, it seems to me as there is corruption in the hard drive, have you dropped it recently? or has the hard drive been impacted with some sort of force?
In this case you may need to replace the hard drive.
As jayeff suggested, try using the hard drive in your laptop in another laptop, if the other laptop boots fine with the hard drive from your laptop, it indicates there is an issue with the laptop itself.
You can however connect the "faulty" HDD as a 2nd HDD in another computer and then boot using the existing installed HDD and check if the 2nd HDD is detected, mounted and readable in the computer.

Leonor Ferrer was born in Mexico City and became an American citizen over two decades ago. She speaks the language of the small importers and she provides all the service the big competitors offer.
Leonor has all of the technology that her big competitors have plus she knows and likes her customers. Keith Games says, "Distance is no longer a deterrent to exporting. Time, not distance, determines the level of service you can provide." As a small company, you can't depend upon friendly high-touch service.
A: We may be lulled into thinking our business has no competition then wake up one morning to find our customers buying what they need from a competitor we didn't even think existed. This competitor could be across the street or around the world but finding a way to get to our customer in non-conventional ways. The most obvious example is amazon.com. You never need go to a bookstore in your neighborhood again, you don't have to leave your computer to buy the exact book you want This doesn't mean you won't enjoy going to a bookstore in the future but, you as a consumer have a choice today you never had before. This choice is causing turmoil for all businesses.
The company who can deliver fast, hassle-free service will win the customer of the future.
What do your big competitors offer that you don't offer? What do you need to do to close the service gap?
Otay Mesa, California and Tijuana, Mexico: Leonor Ferrer is the first Hispanic customs broker in the greater San Diego area and she is leading the way. She is president of the San Diego Chapter of National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America. You can sure that she and all of the leading thinkers among the import/export business are eager to help you begin to go global.
Leonor learned the ins-and-outs of this business working for somebody else. When her boss said that he was not interested in handling small businesses, people who only had small shipments to export or import, she struggled with herself, "Should I break away and start my own business to service these small accounts."
And, of course, she did. Ferrer Brokers has nine employees and a building across from the commercial border crossing. She is in Otay Mesa, just south of San Diego, California. Her offices are less than 100 feet from the Tijuana border. As all the 18-wheel truckers cross the border, they have to turn right or they would end up in her parking lot!
HATTIE: So how are you holding your ground against bigger people, bigger companies?
LEONOR: By doing what I do very, very well. We are very service-oriented.
HATTIE: All right. Give me an example of what you do for your clients that maybe somebody who's larger doesn't do.
LEONOR: We hold their hands. We tell them what stage their product is in. We advise them about different things, not just pertaining to customs. And, also, if we have to go to customs and argue a point, we are very effective about that.
LEONOR: Well, yeah, with the import specialists at customs, and we document ourselves very well. We know that--read the law very well so that we can support them, and that's something that big companies don't do. They will probably do it for their bigger clients, but they will not do it for the smaller clients.
HATTIE: (Voiceover) Much of the activity at this border is generated by the 550 Maquila (Maquiladora). These are foreign-owned assembly plants in Mexico that import raw material duty-free and export final products around the world.
But Leonor has always focused on the little guy.
LEONOR: Like I mentioned, we're very service-oriented, and we have the contact with the persons that have a vested interest in their product. And because we have that direct contact, they're very loyal and they're--and when they grow, they stay with you. They recommend you. One thing I have never done within 15 years, I have never advertised. All of my clients are word of mouth, and I'm extremely proud of that.
HATTIE: What are the steps that I have to go through to export my product? Is the first step to come to you?
LEONOR: That would be a very good idea.
HATTIE: Not your competitor next door.
LEONOR: Actually, I would tell you one thing, it is the best idea for the price--for what we charge, and we can save you five or six times the amount of money that you would be spending if you did it by yourself.
HATTIE: So I can do it by myself.
LEONOR: You can do it by yourself, but there are a lot of horror stories of people that have tried to do it by themselves. First, it cost them a lot of money and time, and the worst, some people have even like lost their product.
HATTIE: Does every country have its own rules?
HATTIE: So that's why we need to come to someone who knows all those rules.
LEONOR: Right. Because what I would do, I would contact a broker in the country of the final destination and I will talk to them and ask them what the requirements are for the specific product. The US Customs implements the laws for over 40 agencies, so if you have a product that you're importing, you don't know which of all those agencies are gonna be involved, and it's the same in every country. So I would talk to a counterpart to find out exactly what the requirements would be for that product.

Academy Award®-winning screen icons Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn shine in a classic film about marriage, politics and the pursuit of the American dream. When idealistic businessman Grant Matthews (Tracy) is chosen to run for the Presidency, he is caught between the ruthless ambition of a string-pulling newspaper owner and the integrity of his devoted wife (Hepburn). But just as Matthews embraces his ultimate goal, he realizes that he may have lost touch with the American people. Masterfully directed by three-time Academy Award® winner Frank Capra (It's a Wonderful Life, It Happened One Night), State of the Union is a timeless crowd pleaser with a stellar supporting cast including Angela Lansbury, Van Johnson and Adolphe Menjou.

Local Directions: From the Forest Service Kaibab Plateau Visitor Center at Jacob Lake, AZ (junction of Highway 89A and Highway 67): Drive south on Highway 67 for 1/4 mile. Turn right on Forest Road 461 (this is a hard packed gravel road across the street from the trail ride horse corrals). Drive 1 mile on Forest Road 461. Kaibab Camper Village is on the left.

Beautiful campground with very nice staff. The showers are pay showers, but everything is clean and well maintained. I also used the coin operated laundry which worked well.
Sites are close together. Restrooms and showers more primitive. This campground was okay as it is close to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Would stay here again for one night.
The climate up in the mountains is a welcome relief from the desert. Staff is friendly, sites are gravel but adequate. They are limited on water so we used it sparingly. It is the closest private campground to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I would use it again since they do have full hookups. No frills just peaceful.
The only Grand Canyon north rim CG with hookups, we enjoyed the shady pine site and nice staff here. Scenic drive to the park takes about 45 mins. There was also a "library" room where our kids enjoyed reading on the couches. Showers were clean and warm but are $2.25 for 5 mins. The toilets are chemical but are kept clean. Our biggest complaint is that quiet hours are apparently not enforced. We had very noisy neighbors late into the night....the camp host a few sites away must not have been bothered. Also, be aware that grocery options are very slim both at the office store and at the store up the road.

Building versus un-building/ constructing versus deconstructing, the words are closely related, not separable yet understood as opposite forces. Building and un-building are fundamental in the meaning and in the act of creation as well as the essence for change. Pablo Picasso in a famous quote: "Every act of creation is first an act of destruction" further opens the importance of the undoing, underlines the process and creative act in it. While in Picasso's quote, "destruction" has a mostly metaphorical meaning as in the destruction of values and ideas, the work in un- building the discarded starts with a literal de-construction/ un-building or destruction of actual objects that had significant meaning at some point in time.


Bankruptcy is a legal process allowing an individual or business to have some or all of their debt absolved. It is almost always considered as a last resort because it can have some negative long-term consequences which must be considered, even if you eventually decide that they are outweighed by the benefits. Bankruptcy is a formation of federal law, and goes through federal courts. Therefore, the process governing bankruptcy in Tennessee will be roughly the same as it is everywhere else in the U.S. But individual courts have different rules for what property is exempt, so you should consult a local Chattanooga, Tennessee before you file.
There are 2 main types of consumer bankruptcy in Chattanooga, Tennessee: Chapter 7 and 13. Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidation of some of the debtor's assets. It requires some percentage of the debtor's property to be sold in order to pay off as much of his or her debt as possible. However, the majority of property that most people own is exempt. This normally includes homes, vehicles, insurance policies, and retirement accounts. These do not have to be sold.
Once all non-exempt assets are sold, and the money from the sales turned over to the creditors, most remaining debt is absolved. But some forms of debt cannot be discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. These include child support payments, student loans, and criminal fines, among others. If most of your Chattanooga, Tennessee debts are not dischargeable, you may want to consider options other than bankruptcy.
In Chattanooga, Tennessee, Chapter 13 is very different from Chapter 7. Chapter 13 may or may not be the best choice for you; this depends on the facts of your individual situation. Chapter 13 does not excuse any debt, but it creates a new payment plan that should give the debtor some breathing room. Typically, all of the debts are consolidated into 1 periodic payment. While this may make it take longer to pay off the debt, if the debtor is willing to make a few sacrifices, the plan should be manageable.
In any case, it would be a good idea to consult a local bankruptcy lawyer in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Your lawyer can make an educated judgment as to what your best option is, and advise you accordingly (of course, the choice to file for bankruptcy is ultimately yours).

Mit Wespentaille wird in der Mode eine besonders schmale, betonte Taille bezeichnet (so wie auch die Taille einer Wespe, der Insekten-Unterordnung der Taillenwespen). Besonders in der Damenmode wird die Wespentaille von Zeit zu Zeit als anzustrebendes Ideal festgelegt. Die Verschmälerung der Taille erfolgt vor allem durch Korsetts, aber auch durch Gürtel, elastische Miederwaren, Korseletts, Corsagen.

Wortbedeutung und Geschichte
Die Wespentaille ist eine  Obwohl diese Bezeichnung zumeist auf Frauen angewendet wird, gibt es in der Literatur auch Beispiele für Männer. So beschrieb  E. T. A. Hoffmann in seinen Poetischen Werken das Aussehen einiger Männer als

Die vermutlich älteste Erwähnung der Wespentaille findet sich beim Bibliothekar der Fatimiden Asch-Schabuschti (oder Sabusti, gestorben 1008) in dessen Buch über Klöster im islamischen Bereich. Dort wird folgendes Gedicht dem Kalifen Almanon zugeschrieben. Es bezieht sich auf christliche Mädchen des Hofstaates, die einen sogenannten Christengürtel trugen (siehe Dhimma), der wohl für die Taille verantwortlich war. Es lautet (zitiert nach der Übersetzung von H. Preißler):
Wie Gazellen, wie goldene Dinare, lieblich in weißen Gewändern sind sie.
Palmsonntag hat sie zu uns geführt mit ihren schönen Gürteln
Lange Locken haben sie, Schwalbenschwänzen gleichen sie.
Zarte Taillen haben sie, Wespen gleichen sie.

Besonders ausgeprägt waren die weiblichen Wespentaillen in Zeiten der Verwendung enger Korsetts mit starker Schnürung. Dies war vor allen im späten 17. und 18. Jahrhundert, zwischen ca. 1840 und 1910, und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in den späten 1940er- und 1950er-Jahren (New Look) der Fall. Um eine noch extremere Wespentaille zu erreichen, lassen sich manche Frauen sogar auch heute noch die unteren Rippenpaare chirurgisch entfernen.

Medizinische Folgen

Die Folge einer engen Einschnürung können Kurzatmigkeit oder Ohnmachtsanfälle sein. Nach längerer Gewöhnung treten diese Probleme jedoch meistens nicht mehr auf. Bei zu enger Schnürung über längere Zeit können die inneren Organe geschädigt werden. Auch eine von Natur aus besonders schlanke, ungeschnürte Taille wird gelegentlich als Wespentaille bezeichnet, obwohl in der Realität kein Taillenumfang vorkommt, der so schmal ist wie das historische Ideal.

In ihrem Buch Körperkultur der Frau beschrieb die Ärztin Rahel Hirsch das Streben nach einer Wespentaille mit den Worten:

Der Mediziner Carl Henning beklagte schon Jahre zuvor, dass die Modesucht jegliche Aufklärung und Belehrungen über die nachteiligen und gefährlichen Folgen wirkungslos bleibe und dies insbesondere bei Kindern zu bleibenden Schäden führe:

Als Folge wurden auch Knickungen und Senkungen der Gebärmutter angesehen, die durch den Druck der Eingeweide, die bei der Einschnürung gewaltsam in den Beckenraum gepresst werden, die Lage und Durchblutung beeinflussen. Ein Zusammenhang der Einschnürungen mit Unfruchtbarkeit der Frauen oder plötzlichen Todesfällen war bekannt, ebenso wie Schädigungen der Leber (Schnürleber), Milz und Nieren.

We spent 22 hours on research, videography, and editing, to review the top selections for this wiki. Carpentry is an incredibly satisfying hobby or career, partly due to the undeniable beauty of natural wood.

Minwax High Performance is a trusted solution for cracks in high-end furniture and worn-down moulding. It's particularly easy to use, because it's ready for sanding in just half-an-hour and, once cured, it's firm enough to be carved, planed, or screwed into.
From a household name in adhesives, JB Weld KwikWood can patch up screw holes in a finished veneer just as well as it can restore strength to a damaged table leg. It's a two-part epoxy that mixes easily in the tips of your fingers, and sets in under 30 minutes.

Imported directly from Australia, Timbermate Hardwood is a water-based spackle that adds volume to pitted or rotten timber, and leaves a fully sandable and paintable finish. Many consumers call it the best they've ever used, which speaks loudly to its consistent quality.
While it's well-known as a top-quality metal spackle, MH Ready Patch also happens to be one of the most popular ways to patch damaged trim and window frames. Unfortunately, its rock-hard end result isn't suited to pieces that may expand with heat or moisture.
Dap Plastic is a long-time staple of many shops, thanks to its nearly unmatched performance in the hands of a skilled woodworker. A little bit of standard paint thinner lets you adjust the product's consistency to fill your specific needs.
Meant to be applied just underneath a glossy top coat, CrystaLac Wood Grain saturates the open pores of freshly sanded surfaces, increasing the effectiveness of said lacquer. Most notably, it emphasizes the natural texture, bringing stained hardwood to life.

Botswana, a land of staggering beauty, is ideally located in the heart of Southern Africa. This is the country where the river ends in the sands of the Kalahari. Its natural beauty lies in its land constellation, its wilderness, wildlife and cultural diversity. Come to Botswana and feel that constant sense of being close to nature. Geographically a landlocked country, Botswana's surface area is about 582, 000 square kilometres.
Among the major tourist attractions are the enigmatic Okavango Delta, said to be the largest inland delta in the world; Chobe National Park, home of the largest elephant population in the world; the golden sands of the vast Kalahari Desert; the Tuli Block with its rugged terrain and the Moremi Game Reserve. The natural endowments provide diverse products including safaris, water canoeing, boat cruises, hunting and fishing adventures. Due to the involvement of the private sector in the tourism industry, tourism accounts for about 40% of the employment opportunities that have been created in the northern part of Botswana. 17% of Botswana is reserved as parks. The country has adopted a policy of low-volume, high-cost for tourism, which is intended to facilitate protection of the fragile natural environment and stimulate sustainable tourism development.
Botswana a former British protectorate attained independence in 1966. The country has established itself as one of the few successful multi-party democratic states in the Sub-Saharan Africa. Free, fair and peaceful general elections are held after every five years. Though English is the official language, however, the country is multiracial and inhabited by different ethnic groups who live peacefully and in harmony with each other. Botswana has enjoyed a remarkable economic growth since independence, from being one of the poorest to be amongst the fastest growing economies in the world.
Generally a Christian country with a small population of Muslims and other religions, complemented with indigenous magico-religious practices.
Traditionally, Batswana were ruled by chiefs and settled in large villages near rivers and hills. They were successful agro-pastoralists and fought many wars to protect their livestock. They have attained the skill of smelting copper, iron, gold and traded salt with neighbouring states.
Hunting and gathering was practised by all tribesmen but guided by very strict traditional conservation strategies combined with sustainable environmental plans embedded in taboos and myths. This cultural heritage enabled Botswana to preserve vast and diverse species of wildlife and natural resources.
The tradition of the Kgotla practised from the iron-age period laid a very strong and disciplined foundation for modern democracy and prudent resource utilisation.

Trying to outline college education of the future is both popular and troublesome. I've written about how removing the entire graded system and letting young folks do and study whatever interests them at any given time, in age-mixed settings, works so nicely in schools equivalent to Sudbury Valley and the various other settings which have been developed to facilitate Self-Directed Schooling (e.g. here and right here ).
Loads of schools have already embraced this, however there's still a technique to go to ensure all schools are prepared for the future of technology. College students, The Age asserts, will see and hear teachers on computers, with "distant studying" the pattern of tomorrow.
Now's the age when college students are prompted to demonstrate their learnings by following a sensible approach. Lecture rooms are designed to focus attention, close off the rest of the world, and create a controllable atmosphere the place learning can happen.
That is the very best time to design holistic learning experiences to develop interrelated competencies and supply a learning surroundings that's operated by know-how to help the lived experience of the scholars in the digital period. Technology integrates itself increasingly more into each facet of schooling, and the web opens up new studying fashions.

Dear Professor Gates:
I have been watching your show and cannot remember anyone having Melanesian in their DNA ethnicity results. I did the Ancestry.com DNA test and it showed 1 percent Pacific Islander-Trace Region: Melanesia. I just wondered how often this comes up in people from the West Indies. My mother is Trinidadian and my father is Jamaican. I will send you the results of the DNA test. —Karen Davis
The short answer to your question is that it comes up in people from the West Indies more often than you might think. First, for those who are not clear about what the term West Indies refers to, we asked Steven Niven, executive editor of the Dictionary of Caribbean and Afro-Latin American Biography (of which I am co-editor-in-chief with Franklin W. Knight), for a good definition. He told us in an email, "The West Indies once referred to all of the Caribbean islands invaded and occupied by various European nations from the 15th century onwards. By the mid-to-late 20th century the term came primarily to refer to the English-speaking island nations of the Caribbean, plus Guyana in South America, which shared cultural, political, and economic links to the British Caribbean."
Having that in hand, we reached out to Ancestry.com with your question and received this reply by email from Yong Wang, a research scientist there:
The short answer is that Karen's results are not unusual for someone with ancestry from the West Indies. On average, AncestryDNA customers born in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago are predicted to have 0.26% and 0.98% of ancestry from Melanesia, respectively. So it is not uncommon for Karen to have about 1% predicted Melanesian ancestry given that her parents were born in these two countries. Additionally, people born in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago tend to carry South Asian ancestry which is strongly correlated to Melanesian ancestry, and right in line with Karen's results showing South Asian ancestry.
When someone has significant ancestry from one population or area, it is not uncommon to estimate a small (or even large) amount of ancestry from one or more neighboring populations or areas. Throughout history, people have moved between populations and have intermarried; which is why, for example, we notice customers born in South Asia tend to have small amount of predicted Melanesian ancestry.
About 2,000 islands make up Melanesia, extending from the Eastern Pacific Ocean to the Arafura Sea north and northeast of Australia and west of Indonesia. Fiji, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands are among the nations of the Melanesian region. According to Ancestry.com's webpage on Melanesia, "Ancestors of the region's indigenous populations came in two waves, the first out of Southeast Asia some 40,000 to 60,000 years ago. They include the Papuans and aboriginal Australians. The second wave, the Austronesians, arrived 3,500 to 3,000 years ago."
You likely already know that indentured servants from India in South Asia were brought to Trinidad and other Caribbean nations in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and your DNA report ("Asia South: Range 15 percent to 23 percent") indicates that among them were likely some of your ancestors. According to anthropologist Viranjini Munasinghe in an interview published on the Asia Society website:
When the slaves were emancipated in the British Caribbean in 1838, the planters looked for alternative supplies of docile and servile labor that could replace the labor of the former slaves …
India was a suitable source because India's population was vast, the majority accustomed to agricultural labor under tropical conditions, and because the country was under British control there was no need for negotiations with foreign authorities. Living conditions were also grim for many Indians in the nineteenth century due to famine, disease, overpopulation and the increasing encroachment of the East India Company. As a result, many Indians were destitute and looked to opportunities outside of India in order to improve their impoverished lives. Between 1845 and 1917 (when indenture was abolished due to pressure from Indian nationalists) approximately 143,939 Indians came to Trinidad.
Suriname and British Guiana in South America (the latter now known as Guyana), as well as Jamaica, were other top destinations for Indian labor in the Caribbean and Americas.
As of 2011, the "East Indian"/South Asian population of Trinidad and Tobago was 35 percent, according to the CIA World Fact Book. Thirty-four percent were of African descent, and nearly 8 percent of mixed African and South Asian descent. Jamaica's "East Indian"/South Asian population is less than 1 percent.
So rest assured that your DNA results were not unusual at all!

The mother of the newborn baby boy flushed down a toilet in China watched in secret as rescuers dramatically plucked him alive from a sewer pipe.
The 22-year-old woman is believed to have raised the initial alarm but only confessed to police after they searched her rented room and found toys and blood-stained toilet paper, the Chinese state news agency reported.
The two-day-old, 5lb boy has been temporarily named Baby 59 – the number of the incubator in which he lies with a fractured skull and severe bruising.
In scenes captured on video and posted online, firemen desperately sawed away at the four-inch-wide pipe just below a ceiling in which the boy was trapped.
The rescuers then rushed the section of pipe to a hospital, where firemen and doctors alternately used pliers and saws to take it apart.
The infant's arms were pinned to his side and when the pipe was prised away, he let out a long wail at the Pujiang County People's Hospital in Jinhua, eastern China. He was still attached to the placenta.
Baby 59's condition was said to be stable and he should recover. But the incident has succeeded in outraging a country in which brutal acts against youngsters are a common occurrence.
Police initially said they were treating the case of as possible attempted homicide, but it was not immediately clear whether the mother would face any criminal charges.
He said police were still investigating whether she had any 'malicious intentions' before deciding on charges.
The single woman, a tenant in the building, told police she could not afford an abortion and secretly delivered the child Saturday afternoon in the toilet.
She said the newborn slipped into the sewer line and that she alerted her landlord of the trapped baby after she could not pull the child out, Zhejiang News said.
The landlord of the building said there were no signs that the birth took place in the restroom and she had not been aware of any recent pregnancies among her tenants.
But the mother told police she cleaned up the toilet after the delivery and that she had managed to hide her pregnancy by wearing loose clothes and tightly wrapping her abdomen.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese people took to Weibo – their version of Twitter – to vent their fury at the mother, believed to be an unmarried 22-year-old.
News of the rescue also prompted an outpouring of help from locals who came to the hospital armed with nappies, baby clothes, powdered milk and even offers to adopt the child.
Nurse Zhang Songhe told the Daily Mail that the mother of the baby was with him in hospital. 'I don't know the reason she abandoned the baby.
She added: 'When the baby arrived here, he was in critical condition.
It was not immediately clear how the baby ended up in the toilet, but police said they were treating the case as an attempted homicide.
The Pujiang county police bureau said on its official microblog account that the boy's mother has been located and that an investigation is ongoing, but gave no further details.


This week we have been rather Lazy. The only time we left the house was Monday and Today to go to the Chiropractor and the grocery store.
Just for fun I opened up our Animal Crossing Wii game and we have been playing it all week during our laziness. Even though it is a kiddish game it is super addicting .
Tilda was cracking us up. She was very into the game.
I have been super lazy today, and I've enjoyed it.

Q: How reliable are "earthing detectors" on surge protections? I have APC's surge protector and it can, according to the manufacturer, detect if power socket is earthed.How reliable are these detectors?
Surge protector link

A: The most likely method of checking the grounding is to pass a very small current from live (hot) to ground, while monitoring the voltage.  At it's simplest, this could be an LED or neon lamp, with a very high series resistor, connected from live to ground.
If the measured voltage is very close to the line voltage, the ground is probably good.  If the voltage is close to zero, there's probably no connection to ground.  If it's about half the line voltage, then you're most likely detecting leakages through capacitors (for instance the filter capacitors in power supplied), and the ground is still unconnected.

The Boy With Green Hair (Nov. 16, 1948)
Directed by Joseph Losey
RKO Radio Pictures
If you only know Dean Stockwell as the craggy character actor who appeared in TV shows like Quantum Leap and Battlestar Galactica, it might be hard to believe that he was ever an adorable little 12-year-old boy.
Well, he was. Even with a shaved head, which is how he first appears in The Boy With Green Hair, in the 1940s Stockwell was cuter than a barrel of baby pandas.
The Boy With Green Hair was Joseph Losey's first feature-length film. It's a lovely little Technicolor parable that opens with the song "Nature Boy." (You know, the one about "a very strange, enchanted boy"?) Nat King Cole's recording of the tune was a big hit in 1948, and was the #1 single in the United States for seven weeks. The melody of the song recurs throughout the film.
It's the story of a boy named Peter Fry (Stockwell), whose parents are dead, but no one seems to want to tell him. He's shuttled around from home to home, always carrying a letter to show his foster parents (who he refers to as his "aunts and uncles"), although he's not aware of the contents.
Eventually he settles down with "Gramp," a former vaudevillian and magician (and current singing waiter) played by likeable old Irishman Pat O'Brien.
Peter thrives under Gramp's care, feeling good enough about life that he no longer has to sleep with a baseball bat (though he keeps it on the floor next to him just in case). One day, however, his school holds a charity drive for war orphans. As Peter stands in front of a poster with a black and white photograph of an "Unidentified War Orphan," he's forced to confront the truth about his parents. They died in the London Blitz, and Peter can no longer deny the horrors of war. All of a sudden, war orphans aren't just "over there," they are right here, and he is one of them.
Not long after this revelation, he wakes up one morning with bright green hair. Punks with brightly dyed hair turned heads in the 1970s, and it was even more unheard of in the 1940s. Peter is instantly ostracized by people who happily tousled his hair when it was brown. His teacher, Miss Brand (Barbara Hale), tries to make him feel OK about his condition. He may be the only kid in class with green hair, but there's also only one boy who has red hair. But nothing stops the bullying and name-calling. The world is cruel to those who are different.
The Boy With Green Hair is told in flashback, as Peter sits in a police station with a shaved head, telling his story to kindly child psychologist Dr. Evans (Robert Ryan). The message of the film might seem simple, but Losey's direction and Stockwell's assured performance elevate it to something haunting and strange that can't be boiled down to a single slogan. It's a movie that tells a serious, allegorical story about a child that other children can understand.

Riffraff (June 28, 1947)
Ted Tetzlaff's Riffraff, which premiered in New York City on June 28, 1947, was Tetzlaff's first feature film as sole director. (In 1941, he co-directed the John Barrymore comedy World Premiere with the uncredited Otis Garrett and he was the uncredited co-director on Ralph Murphy's Jackie Cooper comedy Glamour Boy.)
Before he made the leap to directing, Tetzlaff worked as a cinematographer on more than a hundred films. He started working in the silent era, and his last credited film as cinematographer was Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious (1946). Anyone who's seen Notorious can attest to how beautifully it's lighted and shot, and Tetzlaff brings his considerable skill to bear on Riffraff, elevating it from the very run-of-the mill detective story it could have been.
The opening sequence in Riffraff is the most talked-about part of the film. It's five full minutes of dialogue-free bliss. After the credits roll, the film cuts to an unnerving shot of an iguana placidly lying on a log in the pouring rain. The iguana's cold, reptilian gaze is a harbinger of things soon to come.
It's 2:25 in the morning at El Caribe airlines in Peru. A meek, bespectacled man (Fred Essler) boards a cargo plane, the rain sheeting down on him. He sits nervously in the cargo hold, dripping wet and hanging onto his briefcase tightly. He's sharing the space with a bunch of squawking chickens and an oily, mustachioed fat man with an unnerving smile. (He's played by Marc Krah, and we'll find out later in the film that his character's name is Charles Hasso). The man with glasses watches Hasso fearfully as Hasso stares back at him. Then Hasso stands up and plucks an errant chick from the floor and replaces it gently in its box.
There's an exterior shot of the cargo plane flying through the rain in the night, then an interior shot of the pilots lighting up a couple of smokes. A warning tone sounds in the cockpit. The co-pilot rushes back into the hold, where the door is wide open and rain is pouring into the plane. "I couldn't stop him! He jumped!" exclaims Hasso.
Sure he did.
The cargo plane lands in Panama, where Hasso is questioned by the head of the secret police, Major Rues (played by an oddly accent-free George Givot). Hasso is evasive when he's questioned about his fellow passenger's death and suggests that the man might have killed himself for love.
Major Rues's suspicions (as well as the audience's suspicions, if they're awake) are confirmed when Hasso goes to see Dan Hammer (Pat O'Brien), president and sole operative of Zenith Services, a detective agency. Hasso hires Hammer as a bodyguard for his two-day sojourn in Panama City, and while Hammer's back is turned, he takes the map he stole from the man on the plane and tacks it to Hammer's cluttered bulletin board, where it will remain for most of the film's running time (there's no better place to hide something than in plain sight.)
Eventually we find out that the map shows the locations of a number of unregistered oil wells. Hammer is approached by a shady businessman named Walter Gredson (Jerome Cowan), who wants Hammer to find Hasso for him. Hammer talks Gredson and his assistant up to $5,000 to do the job, and of course never tells them that he already knows exactly who Hasso is and where he is staying.
Hammer is a mixture of hero and con man. In fact, nearly everyone in the film is an operator who is looking out for number one. The beautiful girl in the story is named Maxine Manning (Anne Jeffreys) and even her motives are unclear for awhile. (After a scuffle in a bar, she deliberately pours a drink on her dress just so she can get close to Hammer.)
Pat O'Brien is an interesting choice for the protagonist, since he's a middle-aged character actor with a pear-shaped body. (Although, based on the presence of Marc Krah and Walter Slezak, who plays a vicious killer named Molinar, I suspect Tetzlaff had a fetish for fat guys.)
There's plenty of violence in Riffraff, and more hard-boiled P.I. clichés than you can shake a stick at, but it's ultimately not a very dark movie. Aside from all the corpses that pile up, it's breezy, fast-paced fun in an exotic tropical setting.
Besides the performances, which are all excellent, the film is elevated by Tetzlaff's direction and the terrific cinematography by George E. Diskant.
It's too bad there weren't more Dan Hammer films starring O'Brien. He's hardly anyone's picture of a tough-as-nails P.I., but he crafts a great character who I wouldn't have minded seeing in more pictures. Hammer is the kind of guy who never wears a necktie because someone could choke him out with it, and who says he's not going to give up on the case not because of any noble conviction, but rather, as he he says, because "I've got a lot of time invested in this thing. Plus a good shellacking!"
In case you're wondering, I looked into it and couldn't figure out who came first, Dan Hammer or Mike Hammer. (Mickey Spillane's first novel, I, the Jury, was also published in 1947.) While it's possible that Spillane took his character's name from Martin Rackin's script for Riffraff, or that Rackin cribbed the name from Spillane, it's equally possible that a P.I. with the last name of "Hammer" was just a good idea whose time had come.
