In 2021 and 2022, Village Preservation developed an innovative outdoor public art exhibition that was displayed throughout Greenwich Village, the East Village, and NoHo. VILLAGE VOICES featured photographs, artifacts, and soundscape recordings to celebrate and honor the artistic, social, political, and cultural movements that have grown in our neighborhoods, and the people who gave them voice.
On August 11, 1981, pioneering gay-rights activist and author Larry Kramer hosted a meeting of friends at his 2 Fifth Avenue apartment that led to founding the Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), the first AIDS advocacy and support organization, less than a year later. By 1987, however, Kramer had become frustrated with the group’s passivity amid ongoing threats to gay equality and increasing numbers of AIDS victims. His impassioned and well-attended speech on March 10 at the LGBT Community Center at 208 West 13th Street was the spark that resulted in the creation of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP), a grassroots activist group that through civil disobedience focused attention on the inaction of government agencies and corporations in fighting the disease. Both GMHC and ACT UP were groundbreaking organizations that demanded real change in how government, the media, and the private sector approached the AIDS crisis and addressed the life-or-death needs those afflicted faced.
In addition to his advocacy work, Kramer authored the plays The Normal Heart (1985) and The Destiny of Me (1992), the latter earning two Obie Awards; the controversial book Faggots (1978); and the screenplay for Women in Love (1969), which receiving an Academy Award nomination.

In the mid-1930s, Helen Levitt purchased a Leica camera to photograph the transitory chalk drawings that were part of New York’s street culture at the time and the children who made them. Thus began her artistic career that spanned nearly seven decades capturing the playful dance of street life in the East Village and beyond, as well as the working-class people and mischievous children that were both her subjects and her neighbors. Levitt’s discreet shooting style enabled her to reveal a spontaneity and intimacy, blending the poetic and the political in images that ultimately shaped the genre of street photography itself.
Renowned figures in the photographic and literary communities — such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans, and James Agee — were in her cohort of admiring contemporaries and friends, but Levitt stood out from the crowd through her warm and discerning photos within our physical urban communities. Depicting the whimsy of ordinary street life, Levitt captured wondrous, seemingly impossible moments of the dance of life in the street and the unrestrained bonds of community.
The audio is narrated by Jeffrey Rosenheim, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts’ Joyce Frank Menschel curator in charge of the photography department.
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Born in Maine, poet and playwright Edna St. Vincent Millay was seemingly destined to be associated with Greenwich Village: her middle name honors the hospital that once stood on West 11th Street near Seventh Avenue, where her uncle’s life was saved just before she was born. A lover of poetry from an early age, Millay graduated from Vassar College in 1917 and soon moved to Greenwich Village just as it was becoming known as a Bohemian writer’s haven. (She lived at several addresses in the neighborhood, including 75½ Bedford Street, known as the narrowest house in the city.)
The Village’s restless and nonconformist environment helped inspire Millay to declare a distinct identity for herself and to craft pieces that defied common convention. Thought of as the embodiment of the “new woman” in the 1920s, she combined modernist and traditional forms in her poetry to write of love for both men and women. Her 1923 piece “The Ballad of the Harp Weaver” earned her a Pulitzer Prize for poetry. Millay was also a playwright: the Provincetown Players performed two of her theatrical works, Aria Da Capo and Two Slatterns and a King, and she wrote the libretto to an opera in three acts that premiered on February 17, 1927, at the Metropolitan Opera.
Narrating the audio is Leslie Mason, a member of Village Preservation’s Board of Trustees and co-curator of VILLAGE VOICES.


Thanks for the useful info800 X behind a 125 grain bullet seems to be bested only by the old DuPont SR 4756. The velocities that you got with the 800 X are believable.
For info, on the next hammer that you bob if you do not add any weight back you will have a harder hammer strike.
The hammer will move faster and the impact energy goes up as the square of the velocity.
For example, in our Red Hawk bowling pin guns we normally reduce the weight of the hammer by one half. Granted the primer of choice is the Federal Large Pistol which has a very soft cup but when they aren’t available the light hammer sets off other ones about as well as long as they are hard seated.

Happy Father’s Day!
Ah, but this is a legal column, so let us look at that greeting a bit more closely.
There are many types of fathers. There are biological fathers, legal fathers, intended fathers, step-fathers and adopted fathers. A man might be a father for purposes of family law but not a father for purposes of the probate law.
Fathers can be presumed, contractual, or acknowledged. They can be estopped into being.
Some women can even be considered quasi-fathers as a co-parent with the biological mother.
These categories are not exclusive; they will continue to grow as the law changes and the science gets more sophisticated.
Rights and Obligations of Legal Fathers
If you are legally considered a father, then you have some rights and you have some obligations. You have the right to have access to your child – to visit, make decisions, and parent. You have the obligation to support your child.
Being legally recognized as a father is a big deal.
It is not, however, a done deal.
For the first 4 years of a child’s life, another man could come in and claim to be the biological father. If that happens, then it comes down to the DNA test.
It is all a matter of statute and presumptions. A man who is married to the child’s mother when the child is born is presumed to be the father. Similarly, a man who lives with the child’s unmarried mother for the first two years of the child’s life and represents to others that he is the father is legally presumed to be the father.
However, a man claiming to be the biological father can start a suit to establish parentage within 4 years of the child’s birth. After 4 years, the bio dad can bring suit only if he was prevented from learning that he was the father by a misrepresentation, or if he can prove the presumed father did not have “relations” with the child’s mom during the probable time of conception.
If the bio dad wins the suit, then he becomes the legal father.
As you can imagine, the fact situations in these cases can become convoluted. One case involved the child’s mother, the child’s father and the father’s wife. Mom and Father had an affair while Father was estranged from his Wife. Mom and Father broke up. Mom then reunited with her high school boyfriend and Father reunited with his Wife. Father and Wife broke up again, but then Wife found out she was pregnant. Then Mom found out she was pregnant, too. Mom, Father and Wife started living together. After Mom’s baby was born, Father claimed it was his child. When Mom finally moved out, Father refused to let her take her child.
Mom sued, and it turned out that Father was not the biological dad of the child. But… Father had treated the child as his own for more than 6 years. The Court decided he was the legal father.
In that case, the law was just. It does not always turn out that way.
That really brings up a much bigger issue – true fatherhood is not determined by law or by biology. It is determined by the parental love shown by a man to a child. It reverberates through a child’s life and self-worth.
No contract or statute or case law can make that bond. It is personal. It should be recognized and nurtured and cherished.
So let us say it one more time – Happy Father’s Day!

flourless peanut butter cookies with sea salt
Today I wanted to share another flourless peanut butter cookie.
I make these with dark brown sugar, peanut butter, roasted peanuts and sea salt…
There is just something about a pure peanut butter cookie. I don’t know what it is. It’s classic. It’s simple. And the flavor is just right.
You really can’t go wrong with a kitchen full of these.
I always make sure I have a container of cookies in my freezer. So, if family is in town or I am stopping by a friend’s house, I always have cookies on hand to put in a bag and tie with string. Instant homemade gift.
The key is to freeze the cookies right after you bake them. That way, when the cookies thaw, they still have that freshly-baked taste.
So make some of these cookies. And keep some in the freezer…just in case.
Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies with Sea Salt
1 cup creamy peanut butter (I prefer JIF Natural Peanut Butter)
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
½ cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon white sugar or raw sugar (for rolling)
1 tsp sea salt (for sprinkling)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add the egg, baking soda, vanilla, and chopped peanuts. Mix well.
- Place sugar in a bowl. Roll the dough into balls and then roll the balls in the sugar. Place on the cookie sheet and press down with a fork, making cross hatch marks. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Rotate the sheets halfway through baking. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before removing to let cool completely on wire racks.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature. I like to freeze half of the cookies.

How To Get Tested For Std Brimfield MA 01010
Top Sexually Transmitted Disease Testing Tips in Brimfield MA
STD testing is important for guys and females who are active sexually. The most typical sexually transmitted illness will be evaluated by health care service providers. Some of the most common ones include Chlamydia, HIV, Gonorrhea and herpes; the list goes on.
When it concerns herpes, it is challenging to diagnose since the signs or signs are generally the only evidence; and may reveal up later. Syphilis screening is generally recommended to ladies who are expectant. The following is a breakdown of the elements and pointers while screening for SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE.
There is STD testing for blood illness like HIV and Syphilis. Evaluating the other sexually transmitted conditions will involve taking various samples from affected areas of the body.
Health experts encourage guys and women to go for STD screening as soon as a year. This will be to examine for conditions pointed out above including the notorious HIV. Considering that it is difficult to know whether Herpes is present, those with common indications for the condition should take action before the illness gets worse.
Your general physician or health care company must remain in position to supply STD testing.
Be eager on the time interval that is pegged to each sexually sent illness relating to screening. HIV screening needs you to do it again after 3 months and again to completely ascertain the actual outcomes. Some STDs like Chlamydia require a week to be spotted after sexual relations.
Apart from blood samples, Sexually Transmitted Disease testing as pointed out above will include taking swabs and for instance in guys, swabs are drawn from the rectum or urethra (keeping in mind sexual orientation).
One week is enough to know the outcomes of a lot of tests. If those results are favorable, there are treatments/cures offered for most STIs. However, those with the HIV infection might only look forward to handling their condition since a treatment is still elusive.
With Sexually transmitted diseases, prevention is the sure way to win.
Realities About Sexually Sent Illness in Brimfield MA
Diseases which spread through sexual contact are described as “Sexually Sent Illness” or Sexually transmitted diseases. As Everett Koop, MD, Former US General Surgeon put it “When you have sex with someone, you are making love with everyone they have had sex with for the last ten years, and everyone they and their partners have had sex with for the last 10 years.”
Here are some realities about STDs:
- Sexually transmitted diseases affect guys and females, the health issues triggered due to STDs might be more extreme for women.
- The primary reasons for STDs are bacteria, parasites and infections.
- Chlamydial Infection is the most common of all bacterial Sexually transmitted diseases and it might lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in females.
- Gonorrhea is one of the most commonly reported contagious diseases in the United States.
- The extremely first indications of HIV infection might be flu-like signs and swollen glands, which may appear within a month or more. Extreme signs might take years to appear.
- Individuals who have been infected can survive for many years with medication to fight the HIV infection.
- Sexually transmitted diseases may cause cervical and other cancers, pelvic inflammatory disease, persistent liver disease and infertility in females.
The risk of acquiring STD is high among children who delight in sexual activity and increases when an individual has several sex partners.
People who are contaminated with STDs are most likely to acquire HIV infection when exposed to the infection through sexual contact than uninfected individuals.
A number of intervention research studies have revealed that detection and treatment of Sexually transmitted diseases may decrease transmission of the HIV virus. There are a variety of websites which offer helpful info on Sexually transmitted diseases. You can also go to a center to get yourself tested for HIV.Where Do You Get Tested For Stds Brimfield MA 01010

|Title:||Satire and Romance: The Continuity of Modes in Restoration Comedy|
|Author(s):||Richardson, Gary Albert|
|Department / Program:||English|
|Degree Granting Institution:||University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign|
|Abstract:||The continuity in English comedy in the seventeenth century has been a matter of serious critical discussion for at least fifty years. Although critics have argued that an affinity exists between the comedies of the late Renaissance and the Restoration, they have been uncharacteristically vague in defining what constitutes the similarity. By scrutinizing the comedy of both periods, this study seeks to supply that omission.
To simplify rather drastically: the comedy of the early Renaissance is characterized by two alternative modes. Romantic comedy encompasses the world of love and some type of quest. Satiric comedy, focuses on the classical comedic theme of human folly. With the advent of Beaumont and Fletcher, comedy begins to synthesize consistently the two alternatives suggested above. This pattern of modal opposition undermines the inherited structural and intellectual premises of both satiric and romantic comedies. The failure of Beaumont and Fletcher's comedies to resolve themselves in any but a superficial manner generates a skepticism of theme and form which pervades English comedy until the 1690's.
Although both dramatists and audiences after the Restoration continued to conceive of comedy as divided into romantic and satiric modes, the dramatic realization of that conception by practicing playwrights working from the models provided by Beaumont and Fletcher moves steadily toward a synthetic comedy which presents both modes in a single artistic whole. While this movement is one of fits and starts with frequent returns to plays predominantly of one mode or the other, the general trend is clearly discernible in the early comedies of Cryden and Etherege.
By the 1670's synthetic comedy is firmly established. Even the plays of Behn and Shadwell, plays which affirm either the romantic or satiric modes in their closures, use the bifurcated form associated with synthetic comedy. The masterworks of Etherege and Wycherley move beyond the effects of mere juxtaposition to generate an exquisite tension which their closures sustain.
As the plays of Behn, Shadwell, and Crowne suggest, the political and social turmoil of the 1680's seem to have produced a desire for the more easily comprehended and emotionally secure effects associated with single-mode plays. Thus, despite the continuing popularity of earlier synthetic comedies, only the plays of Otway maintain, in any meaningful way, the tradition of synthetic comedy. By the end of the decade the movement toward sentiment-tinged comedy has begun.

(Natural News) Researchers found a way to help people get out of the hospital as soon as possible. A new meta-analysis published in the journal Nutrients suggests that the administration of vitamin C can shorten the length of stay of a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU) on average by about eight percent.
For the meta-analysis, researchers from the University of Helsinki in Finland and the University of Sydney in Australia evaluated whether vitamin C influences the length of stay in the ICU and duration of mechanical ventilation. The researchers drew data from earlier clinical trials that showed vitamin C supplements improved the overall health of patients, as well as improvements in metabolism. Overall, they gathered 18 trials, and 12 of which were included in the meta-analysis on the length of stay that involved 1,766 patients.
After analyzing the pooled data, the researchers found that on average, vitamin C administration shortened ICU stay by 7.8 percent. In six trials, oral administration of vitamin C with an average dose of 2 g per day reduced the length of ICU stays on average by 8.6 percent. In three trials in which patients needed mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours, vitamin C reduced the duration of mechanical ventilation by 18.2 percent.
“Vitamin C is a safe, low-cost essential nutrient. Given the consistent evidence from the trials published so far, vitamin C might be administered to ICU patients, although further studies are needed to find out optimal protocols for its administration,” the Australian and Finnish researchers said.
The researchers concluded that because of the diverse positive effects of vitamin C on medical conditions, as well as the accumulated evidence for low vitamin C levels and increased vitamin C metabolism in critically ill patients, vitamin C might shorten ICU stay and other practical outcomes without any restrictions on the specific medical conditions that caused the stay in the ICU.
Low blood vitamin C levels common among hospital patients
Patients in hospitals often have very low vitamin C levels. Vitamin C metabolism is changed in many conditions that involve physiological stress, including burns, infections, surgery, and traumas, and because of this, vitamin C levels can drop significantly.
In healthy people, 0.1 g per day of vitamin C can maintain a normal plasma level. However, for critically ill patients, they need up to 4 g per day to increase their plasma vitamin C levels to the range of normal healthy people. For this reason, high vitamin C doses may be needed to make up for the increased metabolism in critically ill patients.
A study published in BMC found that the recommended amounts of vitamin C for critically ill patients are not enough. In the study, researchers from New Zealand looked at the plasma vitamin C levels of patients in the ICU who were all critically ill, suffering from either sepsis or severe heart problems. They assessed how vitamin C levels varied depending on infection status and determined if normal ICU nutritional support was enough to meet the vitamin C needs of critically ill patients.
The researchers found that despite an average daily intake of 125 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C per day, and 200 mg in patients receiving nourishment through IV, the patients still had low blood vitamin C levels. The actual blood vitamin C levels of the patients were only a third of what one would expect, given the amount of supplementation.
Moreover, vitamin C levels were significantly lower in septic shock patients than non-septic patients. They also had higher levels of inflammation than non-septic patients.
The team concluded that critically ill patients may need over 2,000 mg of vitamin C a day to normalize plasma levels. This can be increased to 3,000 mg per day to raise the nutrient to saturating levels. (Related: Scientific research finds higher doses of vitamin C result in greater beneficial health effects.)

In an interview with Fox News, US President Donald Trump has criticized General Motors' turnaround to start producing electric cars. But GM's new change won't take place anytime soon...
Donald Trump's words were clear: "They've changed the whole model of General Motors; they're going to all-electric. All-electric is not going to work." The president also criticized the layoffs made by GM CEO Mary Barra, adding "I don't like what she did, it was nasty."
Donald Trump's criticism lacks substance
Trump's criticism is misguided, however, because GM has no plans at all to convert their entire fleet to electric vehicles. Although the group has announced that it will invest more in this technology, it's not aiming for a complete change, at least not in the next ten years. This means that GM's announcement hardly differs from the e-mobility initiatives of almost all other car manufacturers.
The elimination of 15,000 jobs in America and the closure of some GM plants also have nothing to do with the announced shift towards electric cars. GM is struggling with declining demand for its own vehicles in the US domestic market and rising commodity prices, including the punitive tariffs that Trump himself imposed on steel imports.
Trump previously hadn't commented on the topic of e-mobility. Trump is a proponent of the internal combustion engine and supports the promotion of fossil fuels. The GM group mainly sells Chevrolet cars in the United States. At the end of the 1990s, GM offered an electric car in the General Motors EV1, but only in extremely small numbers. Only about 800 EV1 were actually sold, and only 1,117 vehicles were manufactured.

Diane Keaton's new movie Something's Gotta Give reminds us of why we fell in love with her in the first place. And if you're a younger moviegoer who is new to her work, you'll understand immediately why she became a star some three decades ago. The film provides Keaton with her best starring role in recent memory, but it's more than that, as this particular part fits the actor so well that it's a little magical. Writer/director Nancy Meyers created the role of Erica Barry with Keaton in mind, and it shows. The role is a virtual playground for the acting pleasures of Keaton, who is at once hilarious, charming, neurotic, and touching as a successful, divorced playwright who finds her true love at middle-age with the eternal roving bachelor Harry Sanborn, played to perfection by Jack Nicholson. Erica has essentially given up on the prospect of love at this point in her life, and when her young daughter Marin (Amanda Peet) brings the womanizing Harry to Erica's house in the Hamptons, she certainly doesn't anticipate that her life is about to change. But Nicholson's Harry isn't as nimble in the bedroom as he used to be, and he has a heart attack prior to a romp with Peet, requiring him to stay with Erica until he is able to travel. The sparks fly as Erica and Harry, who never in a million years thought that they could want each other, find themselves drawn together.
The film is being marketed with a poster of Keaton and Nicholson accompanied by the title "Jack & Diane." Without having seen the film, this might just look like a clever promotion, tying in the names of the cast to a famous rock song. But the "Jack & Diane" who are being marketed here have such chemistry together that their sum is even greater than their already great parts, and selling them as a pair is thus very apt. Not only is this the hottest middle-aged romance ever put on screen, but it's one of the hottest romances in romantic comedy history, period. The sparks escalating between Keaton and Nicholson are so tangible that they transcend the already strong dialogue and story to create something far more profound than you usually get from a movie. Specifically, Something's Gotta Give takes you on a journey that reminds you very much what it is like to fall in love in the real world, outside of the three-act structure of Hollywood. Keaton and Nicholson build their relationship to a high boil very slowly. They blunder about, occasionally flirting, occasionally arguing, and then, boom! Before either one of them realizes it, they're there.
If Something's Gotta Give had a spiritual godfather, it would have to be the great writer/director Preston Sturges (The Lady Eve, Sullivan's Travels). Like the best Sturges films, Something's Gotta Give is a comedy where everyone sounds like people you know, only a lot wittier and smarter. At the same time, beneath the gags is a tenderness and humanity that most comedies never even bother to reach for. A prime example of where these paths cross is the first bedroom scene between Keaton and Nicholson, in which Nicholson's Harry starts to have heart palpitations and Keaton makes him check his blood pressure. This all goes down in the middle of a romantic moment which manages to not only stay romantic, but build to an even sexier level after the gags are over.
Like Nicholson, Keaton is now in the enviable position of doing some of the best work of her career many years into it, and will quite probably, and deservedly, receive an Oscar nomination for her performance. There is a whole younger generation of moviegoers who are going to be introduced to her via Something's Gotta Give, so now might be a good time to recap her career before launching into the interview proper.
Keaton was born in Los Angeles and moved to New York to study at Sanford Meisner's Neighborhood Playhouse. She would appear on Broadway in "Hair" and then be cast opposite future collaborator Woody Allen in his show, "Play it Again, Sam," a role that she would reprise in the film version in 1972. That would also be the year in which her Kaye Adams met Al Pacino's Michael Corleone in The Godfather. Kaye was introduced to "the family" very much at the same pace the audience was, starting at the wedding party and ending with the dark scene in which Michael lies boldfacedly to Kaye about his role in the murders of the heads of the Five Families. The last shot of The Godfather is of Kaye's face as Michael closes the door on her, and at that concluding moment it becomes very much her story. She would once again play Kaye in The Godfather: Part II in 1974, and by then her character, like the audience, is devoid of any illusions that her husband can be redeemed.
Woody Allen would cast her as his comedic foil and romantic interest in a string of wacky comedies Sleeper (1973) and Love and Death (1975), but it would be with Annie Hall in 1977 that their partnership would bear its most intoxicating fruit. The film followed the roller coaster relationship between Allen's famed New York comedian Alvy Singer and Keaton's Annie, who comes to Manhattan as sort of a country bumpkin but quickly develops big city neuroses as varied as those of Allen's character. It was one of the first American romantic comedies where the characters almost lived happily ever after together, but not quite. The film also broke the mold in terms of its fractured narrative and skillful interweaving of different types of comedy. Keaton won a Best Actress Academy Award for her work as Annie. She then appeared in a far darker look at modern romance in Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), and would close out the decade with two more Woody Allen classics, Interiors (1978) and Manhattan (1979).
A lengthy shoot followed on the epic Reds (1981), where she played writer Louise Bryant opposite director/star Warren Beatty, as well as future co-star Jack Nicholson, who appeared in a supporting role. The film garnered her a second Academy Award nomination, as well as a Golden Globe nomination. More Golden Globe nominations followed in Shoot the Moon (1982), Mrs. Soffel (1984), the Nancy Meyers-scripted and produced Baby Boom (1987), Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993), and the television film "Amelia Earhart: The Final Flight" (1994). Amongst her many other films are The Little Drummer Girl (1984), Crimes of the Heart (1986), Radio Days (1987), and The Godfather: Part III (1990). She appeared in a string of commercial successes in the early to mid-nineties with Father of the Bride (1991), Father of the Bride: Part II (1995), and The First Wives Club (1996). She earned a third Academy Award nomination for Marvin's Room in 1996. Keaton has also had success as a director, most notably with the theatrical features Unstrung Heroes (1995) and Hanging Up (2000), which she also starred in opposite Lisa Kudrow and Meg Ryan. In addition to her filmmaking endeavors, she's very involved with the Los Angeles Conservancy, a group which fights to preserve many of the historical buildings in town.
Diane Keaton met Venice for lunch in Beverly Hills the day before Thanksgiving.
Venice: Did you speak frequently with Nancy Meyers as she was writing the script for Something's Gotta Give?
Diane Keaton: Not really. When she was sort of finished with an outline, she talked to me about it, and then again when she had a first draft, she spoke to me about it. She told me the idea and asked me what I thought. What could I think but that it was a golden opportunity for me? My only question was, would it really realize itself? That was all. Otherwise, what? Of course, I wanted to do it. And I know Nancy and I know what her work is like. She always wanted to do it with Jack, and the opportunity to work with Jack again was thrilling. Besides the fact that I was terrified, I was thrilled. [laughs]
You were terrified to work with Jack again?
Yeah, I mean I hadn't seen Jack, besides passing him like twice in 25 years. [laughs] So I didn't know what he would be like. Because in that span of time, you know, Jack became larger than legendary. He became a national treasure, which has not exactly happened to me. You know, I would see him on television peripherally at a Lakers game or read about him on the cover of Time Magazine or see him at an awards show. I didn't know who he was.
Has his style of working changed much since you did Reds?
Yes, I do think so. When I worked with him in Reds, he was kind of Warren's friend. Warren had this huge burden, which was the making of Reds, which was really very difficult for him. He was so invested in that movie. It was the passion of his life. He had a lot of difficulties with it, because it was such a massive undertaking. So Jack came in, as his best friend, and gave him a tremendous amount of support, and relief, and added humor on the set. Jack was like a hero he was a hero to all of us, in a way. I only had a few scenes with him, but they were some of the most enjoyable scenes I did on Reds, because they were free of the burden of the responsibility of this movie, something that was being carried about on Warren's back. So Jack was really Warren's hero and my hero. He was sort of the relief that came in, that just lifted up the day for us. So in that regard, he wasn't carrying the burden of the leading role in this movie. He would come in and be fabulous, like he is, and help everybody and leave. And I felt at the time that he was the most generous actor I'd ever been with on-screen, by far. He was always right there with you and he was always helpful and he would never let you down. Because of the technique that I come from, which is the Sandy Meisner technique, you're only as good as the person you're acting with. And it's really kind of a more reactive type of acting. Like I take from what you give me and that colors my performance. As opposed to going it on my own and forging my path to create a wonderful performance without the help of anyone. I always need the help of everyone! [laughs] He changed in that time, because we all change in 25 years. And because in this movie, he carries it. So it was a more real relationship. Sort of like in the movie, it's how you get to know somebody in all their complexities and their great aspects and their stubbornness, or their curiosity. Because the thing about Jack is that he lives with questions. And I don't like to question things on the set, you know? I just like to go there and do my work. But Jack is just filled with ideas and questions and details and specifics. And you're thinking that this guy can wear you out because that energy which he has to explore and be curious is singular, and it never stops. You're always being challenged when you're with Jack, that's the way I see it. And that's also a very enlivening thing when you're acting. So I'd have to say that it was a very profound experience for me, this one.
The film is obviously tightly scripted, because the comedy hits its marks constantly. At the same time, it felt very loose, almost as if it were improvised.
And yet every single one of those words is Nancy's. I never had a shot at improvising or junking up a sentence. I don't consider myself a great improviser, but I do like to junk up sentences and sort of like change the rhythm and just add a little here and... [laughs] ...make it all awful. And in a certain sense, to someone like Nancy, who's sort of a purist with words, it must be a living hell to listen to me destroy a sentence. If you notice, I don't have a lot of jokes. But Nancy knows I talk fast and she's just on you, she's watching you like a hawk and making sure that you're really delivering the message that you want to say. At the same time, she loves that loose look and loose feel of it. I think that's just about trusting the other actors and being appreciated by the director, and Nancy's really one of the best listeners that I've ever been around. And I like the fact that she pays so much attention to me, because I can frequently just get away with it. No director's going to come up and say that much to me anymore, and I don't think they even have that much interest. But Nancy really cares, because, basically, I'm playing Nancy in a way.
You and Jack did some really great long takes, particularly that one on the beach, where the acting just flowed and it was never cut away from.
That was fabulous. I love a two-shot. I'll always love that. Woody did that a lot as well. And as a director I appreciate that also. I just like a long walk and talk, with no cuts.
Do you find that a lot of actors can do those types of shots or is it rare?
I think a lot of actors can do it. I think it's just a question of what is the genre that you're working in? With romantic comedy, I think it's essential that you can be able to do that. I think it's part of the craft of doing a romantic comedy that you have to be able to handle a two-shot that goes on and on.
Another thing that really worked perfectly about the film was that all of the lead actors were very much on the same page, tonally and comedy-wise. You, Jack, Keanu Reeves, Amanda Peet, and Frances McDormand all blended so well.
And they all have very different styles. I don't know how that happens. Jack has a very different style than I have and Keanu has a totally different style from Amanda, and of course, Frances is also totally different.
How was that tonal balance found? In rehearsal?
We didn't have any rehearsal, really. I think we had a couple of days before we started. I liked that; I don't like to rehearse.
Is that because rehearsal can mean doing the material to death?
Yeah, to me it's the death. The death of my performance. [laughs] I don't like having some sort of marker in the back of my head telling me, "You should do it like this. You were supposed " It's so delicate for me anyway. If I feel an audience is going to give me something, I'll repeat it instead of going on my own journey. So I don't like that.
One of the best scenes is the first bedroom scene between you and Jack. It had so many great comedic moments. But it was also a very sexy, hot scene.
In between takes, we were continually worried about how many kisses were we actually going to have to perform in front of everyone. [laughs] But it was heaven to perform. Once the camera goes, you can just let those inhibitions go and you just enjoy it. I had a fabulous time. He was wonderful, but it was hard to get there, that's all. Sometimes it's kind of difficult when you're doing these intimate scenes, as you can imagine. Think about it. You stay focused on that script and this beautiful actor. It's all about "action" and "cut." In between is when it's really the best, but after and before, it's so humiliating. [laughs]
And in this particular scene, you not only had to be sexy, you also had to be very funny!
Did you and Jack try different ways of doing your scenes?
Oh, we had a lot of takes and we tried different ways all the time. Jack wouldn't like to do a lot of takes. But I always like to do many, many takes, because I always feel like my performance is more dependent on riding an impulse that I can't really be sure where it's going to take me. I'm sort of flailing about. But he's more grounded and rooted in the idea of what he wants to do with the scene. I'm like a moving target. I like to move all the time. [moves back and forth] And I feel as though this is saving me in some regard. I believe that some people would think of that as "mannerisms." That I'm guilty of many mannerisms. [laughs] And I think that both Jack and Nancy helped me on that particular front with this movie. He would sometimes say, "Look me in the eye here, and slow down." [laughs] And Nancy, who was my total support system, would just do it over and over, until she felt that I actually sort of landed. But she wouldn't inhibit my impulses, for which I have to say, "Hats off to you." Because it's so easy to inhibit an actor's impulses, but she didn't. She accepted the fact that I would get it if we did it enough.
Had you always planned on doing the nude scene the way it appears in the film?
Uh-huh. Don't I have to do it? This woman becomes lost in the love affair of her life and she's this age, might as well as show it and say this is still here and it's great to be this woman in love. At any age. It's fun, it's a dream come true. Falling in love is rare. To have to play this for the first time, when you're age 55 is like, "Wow! That's a lot." Can I go back there and revisit the exquisite beauty of falling in love with somebody and getting lost in their face? Getting lost in their being. God, that's heaven. That is the human experience and that's why this is such a great role, the idea of playing someone in love.
Let's go back a bit. Your first major role was on Broadway in "Hair." What was that experience like?
I was just in the chorus. I was the understudy to Lynn Kellogg, and then I took the part over when she left. I didn't even know what that show was until after I saw it. Can you believe that? I was in that show for quite a while. I never saw it. I thought it was an excellent show. And I had had no real respect for the show at all. I was just doing my job, I didn't know what the hell it was. I liked the music, I thought the music was really good. But I didn't have a concept of what that show was. It was fantastic! See, this is why it's really good to see what you're doing sometimes. [laughs] To go away from yourself, your own little stupid, selfish thoughts, and see it as a whole. It was just like a revelation! It was an excellent show.
And then you played opposite Woody Allen in "Play it Again, Sam." How was he to act with on stage?
Hilarious. You know what I think I am? I'm a good audience. I really am. I'll go the distance for somebody who is that funny. I really loved Woody because he was so incredible to be around and so funny. It was like a great big treat.
Was the shooting atmosphere on the two wacky comedies you and Woody did together, Sleeper and Love and Death, as loose as the comedy would have you believe, or was it more formal than that?
It was loose, and I didn't understand it. He has never been a formal filmmaker. He's just like [quickly], "Okay, here we are, we're going, let's go." It just threw me off in the beginning. I didn't know what the hell was going on, at all. It just didn't seem like this was what my idea of making a movie was. Because I had done The Godfather, which was more formal. Woody was just going so fast. I just didn't understand his technique at that point.
Did you just sort of follow his lead then?
He'd just throw you in there. Some people spend time in preparation, but Woody has no respect for the actor's dilemma. [laughs] He just goes! "It's fine, don't worry about it, let's go!" He's always been that way.
Had his working method changed when you shot Manhattan Murder Mystery with him years later?
No. [laughs] He has no patience. None. And if you do more than like six takes, he's just bored out of his mind and has to rewrite the scene. And he's a genius editor on the set. He just gets rid of anything he hates right there. He thinks on his feet. He watches it, hates it, tears it apart, makes cuts, and then we shoot it again.
I know he always incorporates a lot of re-shooting into his production process.
Yeah, but even on the day itself, when he's not re-shooting, he did that. Especially on Manhattan Murder Mystery, because we had these four-page scenes, and that was his hand-held period. We had a four-page scene, all dialogue, and he'd just run around with that camera. We were just sitting there endlessly talking, no cuts. Then he'd take a look at it, slash that thing in half, get rid of it, boom! A whole new scene and we'd shoot that, all the way through. It was the most fun I'd ever had. C'mon, talk about giving me a chance to really move! [laughs] I was happy! No one was telling me to slow down. Give me a hand-held camera any day, as an actor. I love it. Instead of stepping into a static close-up. That's the hardest thing for me to do.
And I imagine that The Godfather must have been very much like that. A lot of static shots, right?
It was so formal. They [the three Godfather films] were all formal. [Director of Photography] Gordon Willis had a real approach to filmmaking that dominated the film visually. The first time Woody Allen worked with Gordon, he was consumed with anxiety over whether he should hire him or not, because he had heard that he was tough, and he didn't know if he could work with that, didn't know if he wanted to work with it. Because he's never looking for a real emotional connection on any of these movies, with anybody. It was the best decision he ever made because he learned more from Gordon Willis than he ever learned from anybody.
What was your first experience on The Godfather shoot?
What was the most difficult scene that you and Al Pacino had to shoot over the course of the three Godfather films?
We started with the party scene, and I didn't understand at all what was going on. People were really drinking. They were out of their minds. And I just didn't get any of it. We'd be sitting there for days, without doing anything. Al Pacino and I were just sitting off to the corner, because we were the outcasts. Finally they came around and shot us. Really, I was in another zone. I didn't experience The Godfather. Not once. It was too overwhelming to me. I was so scared. I was just 23 and I was an unself-possessed 23.
The most difficult and my favorite was in the hotel room [in The Godfather: Part II], the abortion scene [where Kaye tells Michael she has aborted his baby]. We had to stop. We didn't even shoot for a whole day because we had to rewrite the scene. It was so intense and so hard, because nobody knew where they were going. And, finally, it got set and then it was a really good scene. We rehearsed it a lot. There was a lot of tension though. I'd never done that before, when you just stop and don't work all that day. Except for with Jack and Nancy. [laughs] They like to talk.
How did it feel to step back into those roles again many years later for The Godfather: Part III?
Strange. Very strange. We started with a party again, right? But the party was so dour. It was the scariest party in Part III. There was no life to that party. And I thought, "Okay, either this is the masterwork of all time, because he has captured the essence of what happens to a person when they become a Mafioso boss, or it's really boring." One or the other, because the life had been sucked out of the party. I thought that was very interesting, because I didn't know whether it was going to work or not. So the movie felt very different. But still very formal, by the way. That same goddamn approach [laughs] where he's in a bed like 45 feet away, and I'm here having an intimate scene, talking with him. That's so hard for me to make that work, because I want to move. I want to touch him.
Did you know that the final shot of The Godfather would be on your face?
||You’re always being challenged when you’re with Jack, that’s the way I see it. And that’s also a very enlivening thing when you’re acting. So I’d have to say that it was a very profound experience for me, this one.
Not for a second.
When you read Annie Hall for the first time, were you aware of how very unique it was?
Yeah, I knew that it was fantastic. I couldn't wait to do it. Woody had a lot of worries about it. He thought it was going to be a "Mary Tyler Moore" episode. He was just consumed with worry about the situational aspects of it. He didn't trust it. It was a real leap for him. It was a big moment for Woody and he had to be scared. It makes sense. But I wasn't. I was an actress. I saw the part, I got it. Sometimes your instincts, you just know. It was like Nancy's movie, I just knew that this was a good one for me.
Annie transforms quite a bit over the course of that story. Was your performance based on anyone you knew?
Oh, I just knew that part. I owned that part. Because I got everything about it. It was easy. It was the easiest part for me to play. Maybe with the exception of the singing. That was the hardest part of the movie for me. Because Woody just refuses to make a big deal out of anything. [laughs] You just sing. I felt like I needed more time. He was like, "No, three takes. It's fine. Moving on." That was the one part in the film that I was really worried about. Because I wanted to be good. I had already had such a lifelong ambition to be a singer.
Really? I wasn't aware of that.
Oh yeah, I had a nightclub act, going around singing. At Reno Sweeny's, this place in New York. But in my fantasy, I did not compute what that life was actually like. The nightclub circuit.
I watched Annie Hall again last night. I had forgotten how many filmmaking concepts he pioneered with that film.
He had so many beautiful ideas in that. It was just the beginning of his ability to try all these different storytelling techniques. His imagination is just astonishing.
Was directing something you always wanted to do?
No, it wasn't. But I was interested in photography and I did a couple of books. And I thought from there that I would do a music video. I did a documentary about my sister. Then I did an After School Special. It just really came out of a need to express myself in a visual way, where I was telling the story and I was responsible for what we were looking at. Because I was intrigued by that. I've always been intrigued by that, and it was a way also out of constantly "me and my performing and my career." It was just a great relief, and a way of looking out, as opposed to looking in. It really is an actor's dilemma. It's always going to be a problem for all actors, that you're just going to sit with yourself too much. So this was a great opportunity to expand. And I was really only too happy to do it in a very gradual way.
Unstrung Heroes is a great film. Did you search for the right script for a long time, to make your theatrical feature debut with?
No, not at all. The producers came to me and I auditioned. I just told them what I wanted to do, and what I thought the point of view should be, and they hired me.
Such a great cast. Michael Richards, Andie MacDowell, John Turturro, Maury Chakin.
[The casting] was a very difficult part of Unstrung Heroes, because we were never going to make that movie unless we got somebody really famous. And Michael Richards' name came up. I had an experience with him earlier, because I was supposed to do a film called Pet People for Steven Spielberg, which fell apart. We were after him, offering him everything, and he would not commit to Pet People. So they said, "Okay, you've got to give this part to Michael Richards." And I was like, 'He's not going to do it. He can't make a decision.' But he made the decision like that. [snaps her fingers] He wanted that part so badly. He was the kind of guy on the set who was very emotionally involved in that part. He's very serious and very intent on creating this world for himself as a character. He made that movie happen. Without Michael Richards, there would be no Unstrung Heroes. So go figure, right?
How was working with Walter Matthau when you directed and acted in Hanging Up?
Are you preparing to direct anything now?
My favorite. My absolute favorite. I loved him so much. Walter is really the original authentic man. The only really authentic man who is a superstar... and Jack, too. Jack reminds me of Walter, not in their acting styles, but as people. Because they are so unique. They are so authentic. And they've earned that authenticity the hard way. They go their own way. They don't follow. They make their own rules. I love Walter, I wish he were still here. I can't bear that he is not here.
I'm working on a couple of projects and a couple of books that I own. I want to do something darker as a director. I feel comfortable with that.
I wanted to close by talking a little bit about your work with the Los Angeles Conservancy. You're a native Angeleno who is very proud of this city and its history, which is also very much a show business history. It seems like a very natural cause for you.
I'm a member of the board. We're fighting to save the Ambassador Hotel from demolition. It's owned by the Los Angeles Unified School District, and we really feel that the history of this building is too important to disappear from the landscape of Los Angeles. We're planning outreach programs to educate all of the citizens of Los Angeles to somehow take more pride in our incredible cultural history. We want to involve the film community with saving its own past, in the form of those picture palaces on Broadway (in downtown Los Angeles). We have this hopeful idea that each studio will adopt a theater on Broadway. And this is something we're going to try and approach some of these very powerful men and women with, and see if we can really engage them in servicing their own legacy, and the legacy of the 20th Century, in honor of the great art form that emerged in the 20th Century. I believe that the more people know, the more they'll take pride. We want to make Broadway as incredible and exciting as it once was, even comparing to a place like Soho in New York. Downtown L.A. is incredible, and now with the addition of the Disney Hall, right near MOCA, right near City Hall. This is an opportunity for all of us to seize the moment and really protect our treasures, our historic treasures in the form of these irreplaceable buildings which make L.A. this enriched place that it really is.

A MAN in dire financial straits after his release from prison applied for a DWP loan and was offered just 8p.
Blackburn magistrates heard Carl Poynton was looking for cash to tide him over until his benefits were paid but the "computer" calculated his 8p entitlement.
To add insult to injury staff referred him to the food bank but when he got there it was shut.
Poynton, 41, of Stansfeld Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to three offences of shoplifting. He was sentenced to four months in prison suspended for 12 months and ordered to pay £67 compensation.
Tracy Yates, prosecuting, said Poynton told police his benefits were not due until the following week. Staff at the benefits agency referred him to the food bank but it was the one day of the week when they were closed. She said Poynton had been jailed in October for theft offences and was still on prison licence.
Gareth Price, defending, said the stark reality of the situation was whether the magistrates sent his client straight back to custody or gave him a chance. He said Poynton had been released from prison on Christmas Eve with a discharge grant of £46.
"He had to sort out a claim for benefits, which has now been approved, but it will not be paid until Tuesday," said Mr Price.
"He went to the benefits agency and applied for a loan.
"He was told he qualified but the computer calculated that loan at 8p. The food bank was shut and he had nowhere else to turn."
Mr Price said out of desperation Poynton went to Boots and stole some baby items which he hoped to sell.

“The pet fish isn’t looking very good.”
I handed the dinner plate to my husband in bed. He had hurt his back two weeks ago and only now was he beginning to get around again. He had always taken care of Mia, the fish. Since the injury, I had been feeding the fish and I seem to kill most flora and fauna that comes into my care. Not that she had ever really thrived in our small aquarium, but now she looked beyond rescue. June was quite fond of the orange-red Beta and it was her first pet.

Researchers at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a graphene-based aqueous hybrid capacitor that is stable, safe and boasts high energy and power densities, in addition to recharging in under 30 seconds.
The new capacitor is made with a liquid electrolyte sandwiched between a specially-designed anode and cathode. The anode is made with polymer chain materials based on graphene, which gives it a high surface area, allowing it to store more energy. The cathode material was made up of nickel oxide nanoparticles embedded on graphene.
"This eco-friendly technology can be easily manufactured and is highly applicable," says co-author of a study describing the device. "In particular, its high capacity and high stability, compared to existing technologies, could contribute to the commercialization of aqueous capacitors. The device can be rapidly charged using a low-power charging system, and thus can be applied to portable electronic devices."

Tangled Web UK Review September 2000
The Big Fix by
pbk out October 00
This is a re-issue of a well known book which first appeared in 1973, a classic hard-boiled Californian private-eye yarn in the style of Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but more witty and droll.
It was filmed years ago, with Richard Dreyfus playing the main character Moses Wine, and this new edition has a pithy foreword by Dreyfusss, which shows that he would have made an equally good writer as he did an actor!
At the other end of the book, Roger Simon has an afterword about how it came to be written – almost by accident when he was virtually broke - and in between is the book itself!
Simon wrote seven Moses Wine mysteries, amongst a welter of film scripts, one of which was nominated for an Oscar. The Big Fix, the only one to be filmed, is another adventure of the seedy detective set in the early ‘seventies, but with strong nostalgic overtones of the 'sixties. Moses is visited by an old girl-friend whom he had last seen many years earlier, when making love in the back of a 1952 Chrysler hearse She has gone political and persuades him to help the campaign of a Democrat candidate in the Presidential Election, whose chances are threatened by the unwelcome help of a concealed extreme radical. Moses has to find the guy before he screws up the Senator’s chances.
As with most Californian adventures, there is much roaring up and down in beat-up cars and on Harley-Davisons, but the writing is a delight, much of it a Jewish-American style. There are couple of moderately naughty bits, but the genius is in the wit and repartee. If Damon Runyon had been from Los Angeles, he could have written some of the dialogue.
A smallish book, but a compelling read, which like some good (Moses) wine, seems to have improved even more over the past thirty years.

Jarrow confirmed they are a much-improved side, despite narrowly losing to championship contenders Birtley Town in the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup quarter-finals.
Jarrow have progressed to such an extent they were bitterly disappointed not to make it into the semis.
Birtley had the better of the first-half exchanges and deservedly went ahead on 42 minutes. The home side questioned the referee's decision to award a corner kick and, when the ball reached the middle, it rebounded from both the crossbar and a post for Ross Preston to fire past Philip Dolphin.
Dean Patton almost levelled with an overhead kick, but Birtley scored again with a Michael Ford header.
Jarrow threw themselves a lifeline in the 73rd minute when Paul McDonald beat the offside trap and went on to shoot past Daryl Preston.
In the last minute, only a tremendous save from Preston prevented McDonald taking the tie into extra-time.
Gateshead Reserves reached the last four by beating Whitehaven with strikes by Simon Reay and Paul Gibb, while Boldon CA saw off a strong challenge from Darlington RA.
Kevin Lloyd gave Boldon a 12th minute lead, but right on the break Paul Freary equalised. RA hopes disappeared when Michael Meek and Craig Rolfe scored within 15 minutes early in the second period.
Stokesley SC produced the highest score of the four ties when they won 4-0 at Wolviston. Craig Johnson bagged a brace and Jonathan Newton and Tony Sivells were also on target.
In the league, Cleadon SC failed to go third when they drew with second-bottom Washington Nissan UK.
It needed a stoppage-time goal from Derek Newton to save Cleadon from defeat after Gavin Wilson had given Nissan a 60th-minute lead.
Anthony Kent converted two penalties as Harton and Westoe shared the points with Annfield Plain, for whom Mark Davison and John Moor found the target.
Ferryhill Athletic remain bottom after conceding three goals in the opening 27 minutes at Ryhope CW. Stephen Rochester, Alan Surtees and George Marley wrapped up the points.
New Marske went out 5-4 on penalties to Kirby Moorside in the semi-final of the North Riding County Cup, the score 3-3 after extra-time.
Windscale lost 4-1 to Netherhall in the Cumbria County Cup.

In celebration of two UK residents being named among the winners of the iPhone Photography Awards(IPPA) this week, we’re sharing a few helpful tips to help you make more of your simple smartphone photography.
New Zealand born Adrienne Pitts came first in the travel category of the seventh annual awards, with her image of a snow scene complete with Icelandic cabin. Also receiving recognition for his talent was Gerard Collett, who came first in the news/events category thanks to his candid photograph of a man being arrested on the streets of Stuttgard.
A lot of the images we transfer to canvas start off as smartphone snaps, so we try to share as many snippets of information about getting the most from phone photography as we can. Check out our recent post on food photography for more specialised smartphone tips and take a look at our handy introduction to Instagram. Meanwhile, take it back to basics with our three top iPhone photography tips:
While it might not offer the greatest photo quality, the iPhone does give incredible convenience and versatility. It allows you to capture moments you might otherwise miss and to record your role in them too. Gerard took his winning photograph while out on the street and took full advantage of the camera’s ability to get close up to an object without reducing quality by overusing the digital zoom function.
Talking about how iPhone photography captures nuances of images that might otherwise be missed, Gerard Collette spoke about this particular benefit: “An iPhone’s focal length forces the photographer to get in close and minutely observe and be a part of the scene that he or she is hoping to depict and share.”
While a smartphone gives you the means to snap and shoot wherever you may be, you don’t need to abandon the basic principles of photography altogether when you use it. Recognising what will make a good photograph and spending a little time composing the shot will improve your end result.
Award winner Arienne actually went back to take the photograph that went on to secure her prize. As well as being mindful of opportunities, experiment with angles as you would with a DSLR. Without a tripod to help with this, make sure you use two hands to provide stability. Shooting wide will allow you to take your time to compose your shot perfectly and could give you great material for a panoramic canvas too!
Reading your phone’s manual is time consuming but it can pay off when it comes to photography. Knowing when and how to use the iPhone’s HDR feature will enhance the quality of your images and the in-built grid can help you maximise the impact of patterns, shadow and light. Remember: don’t keep your flash on auto! You’ll rarely need to use it like this as the best outdoor photographs are generally shot outside of direct sunlight, perhaps with the sky a little overcast.
Do you have a favourite photograph you’ve taken on your trusty smartphone? Would it make a good print canvas? Where and how did you take the photograph? Share your own tips below!

THE MISSION CONTINUED
As mentioned at the close of the previous section, at the end of the summer 1934 with the approaching autumn and the change in the climatic conditions it really became impossible to carry on much longer under canvas. It was necessary, therefore, at both Bootle and Tuebrook to find more suitable meeting places and whereas it may reasonably have been expected that there would now be some diminution of the blessing which had been experienced, this was not at all the case. In both cases God continued to do wonderful things and each has a remarkable testimony to tell.
At the end of the summer 1934 the decision was made to construct a large wooden temporary building to hold the crowds that were still anxious to attend. This was to be on the same site as the tent had been held. In the meantime while they were waiting for planning permission from their local council the services were held in two local cinemas on Sundays and local churches were made available for the weeknight meetings. On one Sunday in October 1934 Pastor Anderson Brown conducted a service in the Commodore Theatre, Stanley Road holding over 2000 people, but it was still not big enough, so an overflow meeting was held in a chapel which had recently closed down for want of support. At this meeting which commenced at 6.30pm there were hundreds of people already waiting at 4.30pm, an hour before the doors were opened. In the afternoon service where 1200 people attended a great number of sick people was healed, including the following: -
As the Bootle Times reported on 9th November the attendance at these services remained undiminished. An advert appeared in this paper advertising a "Great Bethel Full Gospel Rally in the Commodore Theatre" taken by Edward Jeffreys, and was described as "Revival Party No.2." The next day a huge baptismal service was held at the Casino Skating Rink, Kensington. This followed a similar service for the Tuebrook church the previous week at which 5000 people attended.
In the closing days of 1934 the new pastor, A Anderson Brown wrote, "for over seven months the revival fires have been raging. In great meetings tens of thousands have surrendered to the claims of Christ."
On Tuesday afternoon on New Year’s day 1935 Bootle Bethel was opened in the new wooden building. The Wooden Cathedral, as it was known, was the largest building used for worship in the whole country and was erected on the same plot of land as the tent had been pitched, and was the only one of its kind in the country. It was a sectional building that could be made to hold 200 or 2000 people. It was supported by 200 strong pillars, was 125 feet long x 75 feet wide, and was built in three bays. The service was taken by Edward Jeffreys and the 2000 seats were insufficient for the great throng present, so many were obliged to stand and that despite inclement weather. Somebody saved during the first service of the Wooden Cathedral was a young boy 8 years of age by the name of Richard Kayes who became the well known minister of the People’s Church, Everton, Liverpool. Three of his elders were converted at the tent. He later went on to establish two other People’s Churches in Cheshire and Shropshire (see "Modern Day Recollections").
The Wooden Cathedral was intended to last 5 years, but 30 years later it was still standing. Although it was a difficult building, hard to keep the rain out, hard to keep warm in the winter or cool in the summer, it was loved and loyally supported by many.
The present church building which dates back to 1965 replaced the wooden tabernacle although there is a photo around 1975 showing part of the old building still standing at the rear, some 40 years on!
The Tuebrook church was formed from the tent meetings in Lister Drive, Tuebrook. There was a lot of difficulty in trying to find a suitable building to accommodate the great multitude who wished to enrol under the Bethel banner. They met in a cinema and dance hall, and then the Casino Skating Rink in Kensington became available that would be able to accommodate 5000 people. There was naturally a lot of concern about being able to fill such a building. However, on 8th October 1934 on the first night that it was used it was full, with a tremendous queue formed well before opening, and a large crowd gathered every night until the following Sunday when it was packed out again. Many people came to Christ during these meetings. It was the largest building ever used during the Edward Jeffreys campaign, twice as large as the Free Trade Hall in Manchester. At this meeting a reporter from the Liverpool Post and Mercury attended and in his report in the paper the following day he said that Pastor Jeffreys had invited those who had been healed in previous missions to step on to the platform. Amongst those who testified were the following: -
Pastor Jeffreys told the reporter that in cities and towns the churches were empty, but that these meetings proved that there was still the drawing power of the gospel.
On the last Sunday evening in October, Pastor Jeffreys preached again to 5000 people gathered and many people received Christ as Saviour at this service and during the weeknight meetings many people came for healing and several remarkable cases of healing were witnessed. As previously stated 5000 people attended an impressive floodlight baptismal service conducted by Pastor Jeffreys at the Casino in Kensington, with 120 people being baptised. Many of these being young people who sang "I must have the Saviour with me, for I dare not walk alone" before entering the water. Mid-week meetings were also held every night at the Queens Road Methodist Church with packed congregations. The church then moved to the Elizabeth Road Chapel, and then a Welsh Chapel, and in October 1936 Edward Jeffreys laid the foundation stone of the Tuebrook Bethel Temple (as it was then known). From the ranks of this church numbers of people have gone into full-time Christian service.

PALM COAST, Fla. (AP) — Law enforcement officials say an argument over a $20 debt led to a melee at a Girl Scout cookie stand outside a Wal-Mart store in central Florida.
Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies arrested two teenage brothers on disorderly conduct and battery charges following the Saturday evening attack. Arriving deputies say the teens knocked over a table and scattered boxes of Girl Scout cookies outside the Palm Coast store.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal (http://bit.ly/2mGfglh ) reports the teens — ages 18 and 16 — told deputies they asked for the money that one of the girls owed them. When an adult at the stand told them they couldn’t pay, the family demanded to be paid in cookies.
An arrest report says the boys then punched a man, woman and teenager before started smashing cookie boxes.

There has been a lot of activity around affordable housing in Western Massachusetts recently. On September 25, the community came together to celebrate the completion of the Parsons Village
project, a housing development serving 39 low and moderate income families. The many dignitaries that joined us included Easthampton Mayor Cadieux, Massachusetts Senator Don Humason and supporters from NeighborWorks America, MassHousing, the Department of Housing and Community Development, Easthampton Savings Bank , CEDAC and many, many others. It was wonderful to be able to celebrate after so many years of hard work and it is very rewarding to see the beautiful housing that has been created to serve working families in Easthampton. Congratulations in particular are due to Joanne Campbell of Valley CDC (www.valleycdc.com) and Peter Gagliardi of HAPHousing (http://www.haphousing.org/default/) for their persistence through the many obstacles and hurdles that this special project presented.
Joanne, Peter, Tom Kegelman, Rita Farrell, Steve Connor and Peter Jessup and others also spoke at a forum on affordable housing facilitated by the Amherst Housing and Sheltering Committee. Nancy Gregg of the housing and sheltering committee asked the panelists to identify the challenges to developing affordable housing and the answers were more varied than I expected:
- Tom: the price of land
- Rita: the high costs of doing these projects
- Joanne: resistance from neighbors and abutters.
- Steve Connor: high demand from student renters.
Lots to think about with all of these points. Thanks to everyone who participated in the forum.
There’s still time to participate in Valley CDC’s Pedal this Sunday October 4. It should be a lot of fun! Find out more at www.pedalpokerrun.com.

Thank you for your questions. Marijuana and hemp are two extremely different strains of the same cannabis sativa plant that have been bred over thousands of years to have entirely different purposes. (Hemp is not the male version of the marijuana plant.) They both contain CBD. Hemp only contains CBD whereas marijuana contains CBD and perhaps a hundred or so other chemicals with a variety of functions, such as THC, the molecule that makes people “high”. Any medicine can have different effects on different people. For example, Benadryl makes some people sleepy yet can make others wide-awake. So, it is not inconsistent for a particular medicine to cause a symptom in one person and to help alleviate it in another. So while many people experience relaxation with CBD, so people do experience the “paradoxical” effect of irritability.
In fact, not only will CBD not make you high, it has been proven to counteract the psychoactivity of THC. This property makes CBD highly useful as a medical treatment for a wide range of conditions. In terms of the CBD products you can buy, the amount of THC present varies from none at all in a pure CBD Isolate to a minimal amount (less than 0.3%) in a Full-Spectrum CBD product.
Carrying a very high concentrate of hemp extract at 1000mg, amazon’s Old Man’s Beard Apothecary offers this excellent orange-flavored oil to assist in pain management, problems with sleep, and an array of other ailments. Derived from organic hemp and GMP certified, this oil also carries a 100% money back guarantee should results not be exactly what you’d hoped. As a full spectrum oil, this product does contain CBD, as the extract is derived from the entire hemp plant rather than just the seeds. Old Man’s Beard Apothecary is a GMP certified manufacturer who specializes in hemp oils. All products are USA made and made from organic ingredients. They are known for exceptional customer service and high-quality products that are also reasonably priced. Not only do they offer a 100% money back guarantee, they also offer discounts for higher quantity orders.
Dry Mouth: As is the case with many other hemp- and marijuana-based products, CBD oil often leads to a condition known as dry mouth (or cottonmouth). This is likely due to cannabinoids altering receptors in the lower jaw that trigger salivation. In most cases, mild discomfort and stronger-than-average thirst are the only issues associated with dry mouth.
Amazon reviews are few, yet most consumers have stated excellent benefits in using Sana & Salu Hemp Oil for both pain and as a skincare treatment. For those that have experienced assistance with pain, reviews are even fewer. Even so, it seems many consumers of this oil use it as more of a dietary supplement rather than a means to manage symptoms. In general, all amazon reviews are positive despite some uncertainty regarding full spectrum hemp oil (containing CBD) and hemp seed oil (which contains no CBD).
Customer Service: There are multiple ways to get in touch with customer service, and Pure Hemp Botanicals’ customer service representatives are both quick to respond and forthcoming with information. On the down side, free shipping kicks in at $100 — otherwise it’s a pricey $9.99 flat rate. And you can return products, but only if they’re unopened.
There are likely very complex relationships also occurring between various Cannabinoids in Cannabis that may lead to certain medical efficacy. That is important to remember when considering the consumption of products that contain Cannabinoids. There is an attractiveness to isolating a specific chemical, researching it, patenting synthetic derivatives, and marketing specific drugs. That said, the relationships are complex, will likely take years to understand, and many patients I’ve met appear to find the most medical benefit from a diverse group of Cannabinoids whose interactions are not particularly well understand, but the results are hard to argue with.
Many people still use CBD vape oil from marijuana like UFC fighter Nate Diaz but they are still at risk of failing a drug test. This is because these CBD vape pens made from marijuana contain too much THC. If you are concerned about passing a drug test or don't want to get high you should buy CBD vape oil made from all-natural hemp plants that contain active CBD components, without the psychotropic effects of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

The idea of design: "Dinner time."
The main task - Comfortable, bright room for a lunch break.
Think over the design of the ceiling.
Since all the furniture in the dining room is already existing, our main work was to think over the decoration of the walls and ceiling.
The main focus was on the ceiling.
We beat existing beams and hid ventilation systems with the help of grilyato.
The rest of the ceiling is sewn up with a cube-shaped slatted ceiling with alternation of 2 sizes of slats and 2 colors.
Such a ceiling looks modern and practical.
Green 3D panels contrast with the white and gray color of the wall decoration, adding freshness and liveliness to the room.
Ceiling decoration - cubic rack ceiling "Kraft Decensystem Ukraine", grilyato standard.
As wall decoration - painting on the Caparol 3D Plus palette and 3D panels.
The flooring is Zeus Ceramica porcelain stoneware.
Lighting - built-in lamps "Nowodvorski" and built-in LED lamps for grilyato "Kraft Decensystem Ukraine".
Design of canteens for enterprises is a widespread service of the studio Interior-Idea
I enjoyed working on this project.
I hope the project will please them, and the staff will be pleased to spend their lunch break in this dining room.

In addition to teeth discoloration, tetracyclines have been demonstrated to be associated with inhibition of bone growth in children when given in therapeutically high doses.
Teratogens are agents that cause a defect or malformation in the development of the embryo or fetus. Tetracyclines are considered teratogens due to teeth discoloration that may occur as well as the potential to inhibit bone growth.
Tetracyclines are considered teratogens due to the strong association with teeth discoloration in the fetus and developing infant. It may result in permanent staining of teeth characterized by dark yellow gray teeth with a darker horizontal band across the bottom and top rows. Historically, tetracyclines have been avoided in children due to these risks. More recent evidence, however, suggests that doxycycline specifically is safe for use in children for short courses without risk of tooth staining.
An important side effect of tetracyclines is photosensitivity as they can increase the risk of sunburn after exposure to light. This side effect is of particular importance for patients that use this class of medication for long term malaria prophylaxis as it can cause permanent sensitivity and sun damage.
Tetracyclines can cause relatively mild GI distress in patients including nausea and diarrhea. GI symptoms can be improved by taking the antibiotic with plenty of water. Tetracycline itself should not be taken with food as this can decrease antibiotic absorption, however other members of this class like doxycycline can be taken with food. Lastly, if a pill ever becomes lodged in the esophagus, tetracyclines can cause pill-induced esophagitis.
