Guy Williams (born Armand Joseph Catalano) (January 14, 1924 - April 30, 1989) was an American actor and former fashion model, who played swashbuckling action heroes in the 1950s and 1960s, but never quite achieved movie-star status despite his appearance (including hazel eyes, 6'3" height, and 190 lb. weight) and charisma, which helped launch his early successful photographic modeling career.
Among his most prominent achievements were two memorable TV series: Zorro (in black and white -- colorized years later by the Disney enterprise) and Lost in Space, as the father of the Robinson family.
His hobbies included: astronomy, chess, music (mostly classical), fencing, tropical fish, and sailing: he owned a 40-foot (12-m) ketch called The Oceana.
In the 1970s, Guy Williams retired near Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he died of a brain aneurysm.

In May, voters in Islington will be asked to elect their councillors for the next four years.
The Conservatives have a track record fighting hard on local issues. For example, the treatment of leaseholders on the Tremlett Grove Estate.
The Conservatives also have a significant contribution to make at Borough level, and there are three key strands to this:
- Better care for the frail elderly, vulnerable children and people with long-term disabilities.The Government recently announced the Better Care Fund, worth at least £5.9 million to Islington Council, to spend jointly with the National Health Service.
- Less red tape for business, in order to stimulate local jobs. Fairness for leaseholders in respect of maintenance bills and prompt service for tenants.
- Fairness for leaseholders in respect of maintenance bills and prompt service for tenants.

Yes, I'm still alive. No, I'm not cooking nearly as much as I used to, and when I do, it's not all that exciting. That's one reason for the lack of posts. Another reason is that I'm pregnant again! Baby #2 is due on January 5, 2012 and we are super excited for the new addition!
So while the posts will still be far and few between, I promise that this blog is not dead and I will be back periodically with little additions here and there. And today, I'm blogging about dumplings again!
I love that dumplings are so versatile. You can use any meat, or no meat at all and any veggie(s). This time, I used ground turkey, bok choy and ginger and that's it! Easy, delicious, healthy and baby friendly too!
- Ground turkey
- Bok Choy
- Soy sauce
- White pepper
- Oyster sauce
- Sesame oil
- Dumpling wrappers
- Finely chop the bok choy.
- Grate the ginger
- Mix the turkey, bok choy, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper and oyster sauce in a bowl
- Once the water has mostly cooked off, take the lid off and let it continue cooking until the water has completely evaporated and the bottoms of the dumplings are nice and crispy.
- Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce. I like mine simple, just black vinegar and soy sauce.

A Matter of Life and Death (1946)
Stairway to Heaven
'A Matter of Life and Death' (1946) is a masterstroke of cinematic brilliance from the unparalleled duo, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. The film is a delightful blend of fantasy, romance, and philosophical contemplation. David Niven delivers a powerful performance as a World War II pilot who cheats death and falls in love with an American radio operator, convincingly portrayed by Kim Hunter. The film's audacious narrative is beautifully complemented by its technical prowess, with the stunning contrast between the vibrant Technicolor of Earth and the stark monochrome of the afterlife. Jack Cardiff's cinematography is nothing short of breathtaking. The courtroom scene in the celestial court is a standout, showcasing the film's thought-provoking exploration of love, life, and mortality. 'A Matter of Life and Death' is a timeless classic, a visually stunning and emotionally rich piece of cinema that remains as impactful today as it was in 1946.

USA: Alaska - Wild and Beautiful VI.
26. 8. 2011
Haley; Denali; Mount McKinley; Wonder Lake
Great!!! The most beautiful day (as for weather and experiences) in Alaska so far!
We woke up early in the morning. We had to meet in front of the hotel as early as 6:20am. After ten minutes we moved off to the Denali National Park. At first we were worried about morning temperatures. It's freezing cold, we are already in the park, and we wait until 7:30am for our shuttle bus to Wonder Lake. We have 136 km long trip in front of us. Our smiles freeze, our bodies freeze and I wonder if it wouldn't be better to take on yet another layer of clothes. But the weather significantly improves during the day and the morning worries are gone...
Finally! The bus arrives and our guide for this day got off it. It is a robust woman with a strong voice that quickly changes its intensity. From time to time she almost shouts and then she whispers in so low voice we almost couldn't hear her. She explains how the tour will be going on. Tourists can move in the park only on this bus, not afoot (with exceptions). Shuttle bus will go slowly and visitors are encouraged to watch carefully everything that whizzes around the road. When anybody sees some interesting animal, he shouts "STOP" and in that moment the bus will stop. Everybody must be then very quiet and can roll down the window and can take some photos…
Denali National Park was established in 1917 and its area totals 6 million acres (24 000 km2). There is also Alaska's highest mountain – in the language of indigenous Athabascan people it's The High One, officially called Mount McKinley. It is 6193 meters above the sea level. Opening hours of the park are very short and depend only on weather. If roads are passable, in spring you can visit the park in March, but mostly it is opened after the first half of April. Shuttle bus starts its service on May 20th, however, some parts of Denali park are not accessible until June 8th. The last bus goes to park on September 13th. There is huge onrush of tourists during the main season, but number of visitors is limited by the capacity of a shuttle bus, or by time restricted permits to enter and camp in the area.
Anyway, back to our expedition. First stop - view over McKinley. The guide tells us she saw Denali about a month ago and during the year there are only few day with such a great visibility as today. The sky clears, sun shines and despite it's freezing (or maybe for it's freezing) we can take pictures of Alaska's pride in it's splendor. We continue, but after a while "STOP" sounds. Very close to the bus graze few Dall sheep on grass (in the nature you can see them only in Alaska and British Colombia). They are beautiful, nothing but rams. For a while it seems like they are kissing each other but suddenly an attempt to "a fight" follows. Only a decent checking out the rival... It's a wonderful experience. They are amazing. During this encounter we are closest to animals on this day. We have still a long trip in front of us, which will take us the whole day. From 7:30am to almost 7pm. Along the way are many visitor centers, where we can go to the toilet, drink some water or buy some snack. Suddenly, behind a small curve, is a view over a huge marsh where female moose eats greedily. She is relatively close and obviously as we experienced few times before) our presence doesn't bother her. It's a great opportunity for photographers.
We approach Wonder Lake. Here is one of few places in park where you can travel afoot. we can choose from several options what to do next - continue by the bus, or get off and subsequently try to catch any shuttle going our way. It should take us on board and return us, if not full. Rules in the park are very strict and there is clearly defined what you can do and what you can't, and how to treat animals. Disobeying the rules is severely punished and, moreover, it can by life threatening. However, Denali National Park boasts that there wasn't any lethal accident caused by a bear attack. We return on the same road. The weather is still beautiful and we don't know if we should take pictures of the nature of animals (the area is overcrowded with them) - in distance you can see caribou again, by the visit center a ground squirrel sits up on its hind legs, and a porcupine climbs up on a hillside. We slowly continue on a dusty road (gloriously named as the Park Road), but suddenly we are stopped by a group of young people who are little bit scared and tell us about their spontaneous experience. The girl, most of them all, is in a shock from the encounter with a predator. They were immersed in picking up blueberries and left off being vigilant. They moved slowly up to the hill, one blueberry to the mouth, other into the cup. When twigs began cracking and bushes rustling they sharpened. The girl raised her sight and stiffened - not far away from her there is a bear looking at her from blueberry bushes! In that moment is every advice and every recommendation how to react useless. The unpleasant surprise is strong and man must quickly, yet carefully, think what to do. According to what the girl said, they were not in the center of attention of the big animal, so they managed to slowly get from the place. Nevertheless, they will not forget a meeting with the Grizzly Bear for a while. The interest in picking blueberries is gone and it's better to get back on the road, get away from there. It's no longer a problem to recognize a bear in a distance. Their eyes are tired of watching their back, if the Grizzly is not following them. Thanks to newly gained skill they notify us to look at the other hill, where are three bears. Despite the fact they are quite far away, we manage to capture few pictures...
After that live out probably the most intensive experience so far. The bus in the other direction signals from a distance to us and our guide receives a message on her walkie-talkie that not far from us is a female bear with a baby bear. Most certainly, it's the right time to walk in the forest! Female bears could be very dangerous. We stop and pay attention to a direction the guide tells us. We see them only few meters from the road. The female bear has light brown fur, the baby bear is dark brown. The view is nice, but we can't take pictures, because both of them are moving between trees, thus it's hard to take a photo. It's almost impossible to focus the camera on fur of the bear, because the finder is blocked by brushwood, branches and leaves. Despite we didn't manage to get nice photos, the encounter with wilderness is stunning!
Our meeting of Denali National Park is almost over. We travel back to Haley where we stop by the 49th State Brewing Company restaurant for a dinner. The restaurant is very original and has a nice atmosphere. A very pleasant ending of an amazing day.
Following day (which should have been initially a resting day) we travel to the Arctic Circle.

2014 Kia Sportage
Kia Sportage is a sporty crossover utility vehicle, conveniently sized and well-executed in almost every way. The Sportage coaxes both ample performance and decent fuel economy from a choice of two moderately sized engines. Unlike some competitors in this class, which tend to look alike, the Kia Sportage glories in its distinctive appearance, helped by a high beltline, pronounced rear pillars and prominent wheel flares.
For 2014, Kia has enhanced its standard 2.4-liter engine, adding direct injection and boosting horsepower from 176 to 182 horsepower. Wheels and the grille have been redesigned, and high-intensity-discharge headlights have been added to the options. LED rear taillights are installed, and EX models get new fog lamps. Newly available features for 2014 also include Infinity premium audio, rear ventilation, a ventilated passenger seat, and UVO eServices that work with a free smartphone app. All 2014 Sportage models have a tilt/telescopic steering wheel. A new navigation system is available, compatible with UVO eServices. On the dashboard is a new 4.2-inch LCD screen.
All 2014 Sportage models have high-performance dampers. Kia has dropped the previous base model and the manual transmission; all 2014 Sportage models have a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Three trim levels and two engines are offered. The 2014 Kia Sportage LX and EX with the standard 182-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine earn an EPA City/Highway rating of 19/26 mpg with all-wheel drive (AWD). Front-wheel-drive 2014 Sportage models achieve an even better 21/28 mpg rating. Aiding fuel efficiency is a relatively lean curb weight, though Sportage isn't quite as light as it used to be.
The Sportage SX, with its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, benefits from 260 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. The 2014 Sportage SX gets a respectable 20/26 mpg City/Highway rating from the EPA with front-wheel drive, and 19/24 mpg with AWD.
We've found that the standard 2.4-liter engine delivers its power smoothly and mostly in a linear manner, with only an occasional, slight surge after an upshift in the automatic as the electronics adjust to the changing load. Those gear changes are clean, if not remarkably sharp, with ready downshifts for overtaking or merging.
The steering feels heavier in the AWD version but is reasonably responsive in both, with good directional stability. All-wheel drive comes with a limited locking feature for low-speed use in adverse conditions.
Power folding mirrors and sunvisor extenders come on all 2014 Sportage models. LED accent lights are mounted on Sportage LX and Sportage EX models; the 2014 Sportage SX has LED daytime running lights.
Sportage styling looks fresh and sharp from every angle. Character lines are crisp but subdued, contrasting nicely with the overall rounded look. Blackened lower trim panels imply good ground clearance, while keeping the tires visually in proper proportion to the body.
We found the interior accommodations comfortable, though the Sportage lacks the interior roominess of its competitors: mainly, the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Subaru Forester. The front seats offer good support. Leather-trimmed seats and front-seat ventilation are available.
An AM/FM/CD six-speaker stereo with SiriusXM radio and USB/auxiliary input jacks comes standard, with Infinity premium audio included on EX and SX models. An optional navigation system with a touch screen includes Sirius Traffic. A rearview camera is available, which is an excellent safety feature. Sportage EX and SX get dual-zone, automatic climate control.
Cargo capacity is a generous 26.1 cubic feet behind the second seat, but a less-impressive 54.6 cubic feet with the second seat folded. Translation: It's handier for hauling people than large amounts of cargo.
