‘Herald the Dance of Balance and Harmony’: Francis Signs Crazy Interreligious Climate Action Statement
Years ago, German journalist Alexander Kissler publicly referred to ‘Pope’ Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) as a “U.N. Secretary General with a pectoral cross” (source). He wasn’t wrong, of course, but we suspect even the U.N. Secretary General would choose a better-looking cross than the one Francis wears.
One may extend Kissler’s metaphor and say that at this point, the Vatican II Church is basically the United Nations at prayer. Indeed, the Jesuit squatter at the Vatican guest house has just confirmed it once more as he signed a new interfaith statement on climate change for the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as ‘COP28’, which is currently underway in Expo City in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, until Dec.… READ MORE
The ‘New Theology’ on steroids!
‘Paradigm Shift’: Francis Issues Disastrous Motu Proprio Aimed at Theological Revolution
An extremely significant development took place in the Vatican on Nov. 1, 2023: The apostate Jesuit Jorge Bergoglio, more commonly known under his stage name ‘Pope Francis’, published a so-called Apostolic Letter Motu Proprio — Latin for ‘on his own initiative’ — approving new statutes for the Pontifical Academy of Theology, originally founded by Pope Clement XI in 1718.
In this fairly brief document, so far available on the Vatican web site only in Italian, the false pope calls for nothing less than a revolution in theology, a ‘paradigm shift’ that will have incalculable, frightful consequences in the long term.… READ MORE

‘Fr.’ Richard Rohr in Private Audience
[UPDATE 01-JUL-2022: Statement from Richard Rohr, OFM, after meeting Francis]
On June 20, 2022, the Vatican’s daily press bulletin stated that Jorge Bergoglio (“Pope Francis”) had received in private audience the Rev. Richard Rohr, OFM (b. 1943), founder of the neo-pagan Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Rohr, an American, has long been a big name in the United States, but not in a good way. One might say that he is a New Age version of hellboy James Martin, S.J.… READ MORE

This past Sunday, Jan. 23, 2022, the Novus Ordo Church celebrated “Sunday of the Word of God” for its Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (in the traditional Roman calendar, it was the Third Sunday after the Epiphany).

Not surprisingly, the Argentinian pseudo-pope was busy shifting the focus from Christ’s Passion and Death onto “the sufferings of the sick, the poor, the rejected of this world; …the ‘sacrificed lambs’, the innocent victims of wars, dictatorships, everyday violence, abortions… the too many who are crucified in our time … who are the image of Jesus Crucified….”… READ MORE

The 86-year-old Modernist apostate Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap., who was made a fake cardinal by Francis on Nov. 28, 2020, has been the preacher of the “Papal” Household since 1980. As such, he is the only person in the Vatican II Church who is permitted to preach to the “Pope.” This he typically does twice a year, during Advent and Lent. He also has his own web site.… READ MORE

The Vatican’s endless text factory has just released another monster of a document: Jorge Bergoglio (a.k.a. “Pope Francis”) has released his third Encyclical Letter, after Lumen Fidei (2013) and Laudato Si’ (2015). It is entitled Fratelli Tutti (“Brothers All”).
In its English version, Fratelli Tutti has 42,994 words. It consists of eight chapters that include a total of 287 numbered paragraphs, and it has 288 footnotes.

Called the “nun of the trans”, she is a Discalced Carmelite religious who works with so-called “transsexual” or “transgender” people, specifically “trans women.” The latter are biological males who consider themselves women and dress accordingly. Not only do they wear women’s clothes, they also change their hair, face, and bodily features as much as possible to appear like women.… READ MORE


Massachusetts Transport Agency launches mobile parking payments
Published on: 27th Jul 2010
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
The USA based Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) has launched a new payment system for parking at commuter rail stations that allows customers to bypass pesky cash deposit boxes and pay instead from their mobile phones. Through the system, called Parkmobile, customers can pay with a smart phone application or by sending a text message or making a call from any cellphone.
Commuters can also pay for parking after boarding their trains.
The new payment system starts 72 car parks along the commuter rail system, which have a total of 25,000 to 30,000 parking spaces.
More than 1,000 people have already signed up to use the new payment program, MBTA General Manager Richard A. Davey said. "Hopefully, we'll have people avoiding this," he said, pointing to the cash deposit box behind him, lined with slots just wide enough for a twice-folded dollar bill."
To use the new mobile payment system, customers have to register once with their license plate, credit card and mobile phone numbers. Then, every time they park, they use their phones to send two more pieces of information: the lot number and the space number in which they parked.
Parkmobile is free for customers, but the company charges more than 30 cents per transaction. Mr. Davey said that fee will be absorbed in the MBTA budget and will not be passed on to customers.
"We don't anticipate raising fares or parking fees at all," Mr. Davey added.
Parkmobile, based in Atlanta, offers its product at public transportation systems in several states, from New York to Michigan to Hawaii. But a company executive said he expects Massachusetts to be one of the best and busiest markets.
"We expect this to be our landmark," said Brent Paxton, executive vice president of account management.

The massive ancient reservoirs that remain viewable today in Jerusalem’s Old City had serviced Jews making pilgrimages to the Second Temple some 2,000 years ago, according to a soon-to-be-published research paper.
Jerusalem contains a large number of these ancient pools. A massive cistern named the Pool of Israel—more than 360 feet long, 111 feet wide and 78 feet deep—is situated next to the Temple Mount. The Pool of Hezekiah lies among the houses of the Christian Quarter. Jerusalem residents are also familiar with the Sultan’s Pool, which was converted into an open-air venue for public performances; two pools located on the Church of St. Anne’s property; a deep pool seen on Western Wall tours; and the Shiloah (Siloam) Pool, which was discovered under the City of David.
“While residents of Jerusalem had private wells under their homes and the ruling authorities had aqueducts, another solution was needed for the masses of pilgrims. The visitors used water for drinking, cooking and other day-to-day tasks. Two of the pools were also used for ritual cleansing,” Dr. David Gurevich, an archaeologist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem who specializes in the holy city’s history during the Second Temple period, told Israel Hayom.
“These large complexes are the elephant in the room that researchers have ignored. Even though some of the pools were excavated and researchers suggested the use of individual pools, they ignored the larger picture. The question was never asked, ‘What are these facilities doing specifically here?’ It turns out there has never been another city on the Mediterranean coast with such a large amount of these pools of water,” said Gurevich.
The University of Haifa and Harvard University launched the study, which is due to be published soon in Palestine Exploration Quarterly, a prestigious European-printed archaeology journal.

PM2.5 sensors can effectively improve sleep quality for indoor dust detection2019-03-25
The study found that mimicking the natural environment, such as when it's raining, or listening to the sounds of wind, water and birds in nature, can make people feel more relaxed and more likely to fall asleep.And air purifier can not only purify all kinds of pollutants in indoor air, including PM2.5, formaldehyde, virus and bacteria, to create a safe environment for you, but also simulate the natural environment to a certain extent, such as purifying indoor air, releasing negative ions, and promoting the coordination between people and the room to a certain extent.
A person's lifetime, sleep time accounted for 1/3, high-quality sleep will let our brain and body get rest, help eliminate fatigue, stable mood, restore physical strength.However, with the quickening pace of life, insomnia has become more and more people's problem.In fact, using air purifiers equipped with PM2.5 sensors and VOC sensors can improve sleep quality to some extent.
The PM2.5 sensor commonly used in air purifiers is the PM2.5 sensor based on the laser principle. Weisheng technology ZH03B laser PM2.5 sensor USES the principle of mie scattering to detect the dust particles in the air, with good consistency and stability.With serial port output and PWM output, it can detect dust particles with a minimum resolution particle diameter of 0.3 m.

This weekend I’m facilitating an occasion early lunch for my child’s ice hockey group. Come Christmas morning and New Year’s Day, I will plunk down to informal breakfast with family, as I am certain large numbers of you will as well.
I basically can’t think about a dinner I appreciate offering to loved ones more than early lunch. While breakfast and lunch in the present occupied world are all around frequently hurried, informal breakfast is a loosening up dinner presented with unique consideration.
Less formal than supper, this brilliant noontime feast is likewise incredibly appropriate to serve a group. Egg dishes, meats, and baked goods – the pillars of most early lunches – are not difficult to acclimate to the quantity of visitors, and to serve. Tragically, commonplace informal breakfast food sources can unleash destruction on any sound eating regimen. Wiener, cheddar, cream, and other rich calorie-loaded fixings, notwithstanding starch hefty breads and cakes, can make them as unhealthful as they are merry.

A higher education seminar at the Institute of International and European Affairs addressed the recent fall in global rankings of Irish universities. Trinity lost its top 100 status in the QS World University rankings while University College Dublin (UCD), Dublin City University (DCU) and National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG) also experienced a serious decline in global rankings.
Speaking at the event, Dr Graham Love, chief executive of the Higher Education Authority, addressed the decreased amount of state investment for the higher education sector in contrast to the increasing number of students attending third level. He also warned that: “Higher education and research will continue to underpin Ireland’s economic and social development but only where we have a sustainable funding model. We do not have one at present.”
Love continued to further describe Ireland’s current funding model as “not sustainable” and contrasted the €2 billion spent in 2009 on third level education with the €1.3 billion made available in 2016, a decrease of 38%. He focused on the cost of educating undergraduate students and estimated this at €9,200. Love noted the funding challenges increased enrolment entailed, “for every new place that we wish to create in our system, we need to ensure that money is also provided if we do not wish quality to be threatened,” and highlighted the remaining €6,200 in funding that needed to be sourced after the student’s contribution charge of €3000 was considered.
Also present at the seminar was Mary Mitchell O’Connor, Minister for Higher Education. Describing the university rankings system as flawed, Mitchell O’Connor, however, acknowledged the international impression the rankings give of the university system in Ireland.
Mitchell O’Connor drew attention to the rankings failure to assess quality of teaching or programs to overcome educational disadvantage but did however express intentions to improve Ireland’s international rankings: “We need to be able to explain better the factors driving performance, highlighting where we believe the approach could be improved.”
Her remarks, however, did not linger on the issue of higher education funding. She stated that the Department of Education was working on the recommendations of the government’s higher education funding working group report better known as the Cassells report and that steps were being taken.
Speaking at the same event, however, Peter Cassells, author of the report, said a decision was required soon on the reports findings: “We are probably coming to the stage where decisions need to be made”.
Senior figures within the education sector say decades of under-investment, hiring caps on staffing and increased student enrollment are to blame for the declining standards of Irish universities. In a recent statement after the published QS World University rankings, Dean of Research, Professor Linda Doyle said: “While Trinity continues to do world-class research, attract international staff and students, partner with industry, and deliver a strong education, this is no longer enough when far better funded universities internationally are storming ahead. Irish universities are sliding because we can’t compete on funding.”

It’s been a busy summer and I’ve been on deadline for most of it. One the projects I’m working on is a mystery in verse so I thought I’d use this month’s post to share a few of my favorite mentor texts for verse novelists. Up first, a book from one of my favorite poets, Nikki Grimes.
PLANET MIDDLE SCHOOL, by Nikki Grimes, follows Joylin, a middle schooler who loves playing basketball, particularly with Jake, her long-time friend. Without warning, Joylin’s world, and body, start to change, leaving her trying to figure out her place in this new, ever-changing, world. Joylin navigates issues at home, problems at school, and even her first crush.
Who it will help:
Everyone! Nikki Grimes is one of kidlit’s most celebrated poets, and for good reason. Her free-verse poems are excellent on their own but really come alive in the context of the story. Her ability to tell a story three a series of poems, including the richness of emotion, action, and suspense are unmatched.
If you’re interested in a writing a novel in verse using more structured poems, check out THE LAST FIFTH GRADE OF EMERSON ELEMENTARY by Laura Shovan. Emerson Elementary is scheduled to be close and bulldozed over. Ms. Hill’s fifth-grade class pick up their pens and pencils and make one final stand (through poetry) to try to save their school.
Who it will help:
Anybody looking to tell a story in verse using various poetry forms, including acrostics, fibs, haiku, and limericks. Also, anyone looking to tell a story using multiple points of view. In this book, all the students contribute poems using their favorite formats. If you’re looking for examples of many different types of poetry this is a great place to start.
JAZZ OWLS, by Margarita Engle, tells the story of the 1943 Zoot Suit Riots in Los Angeles, California. Young Mexican women gather in jazz clubs to dance with the Navy sailors who’ve come ashore until racism and violence threatens the safety of the once quiet community. JAZZ OWLS is a compelling and honest look at a troubling time in our nation’s history.
Who it will help:
Poets working on novels in verse for older readers. Also, any poet looking for inspiration that will help them develop their own unique voice, create and deliver on a theme for their novel, anyone looking for examples of the most evocative and emotional poetry.
One last resource I’d recommend, even though it’s not exactly a mentor text. My love of poetry began as a small child with the poem Carol of the Brown King by Langston Hughes. After that, I devoured everything Hughes wrote (including the not so kid friendly poems). THE COLLECTED POEMS OF LANGSTON HUGHES collects all of his published work and is an essential resource for any poet.
Well, that’s all for this month. Happy writing and have a magical month.
The pandemic was in full blown lockdown. My fifth and sixth grade students struggled to succeed in our new virtual format. Perched on a chair at my dining room table, I settled in for yet another Zoom session with bewildered faces staring back at me. You guessed it. It was March 2020 and little did I know how much my life’s path would change. Changing from in-person teaching to virtual would be a walk in the park compared to changing from traditional art forms to digital illustration. Along with this transition, I also decided to rummage through some of my old manuscripts and put fingers to keys – ahhh yes! I’m a children’s book writer again. Not so fast!
First, I learned that my passion was a bit ahead of my understanding of the craft of writing for children. After multiple rejections I knew I must learn more about the craft. However, when it came to illustrating, I knew there was much to learn about children’s book illustrations. My training was in fine art and architecture. I attended Parson’s School of Design in Los Angeles back when personal computers, let alone laptops and iPads were rare. I figured it would be too complicated to illustrate in pastel since I usually worked on paper 18X24 and larger. I initially decided I would be an author and not pursue a path as an author-illustrator.
I was active in the children’s writing community on Twitter when I saw a post from Larissa Marantz about one of her drawing classes with OC Art Studios. I applied and received one of her scholarships. Additionally, with extra time on my hands, I decided to break out my pastels and see if I still had skills. I had not completed a pastel drawing in years. Here are a few of my return to pastels drawings.
Once in Larissa’s course I began to realize that many illustrators were using digital tools. I was working with pen, ink, paper, and erasers. Working digitally intrigued me. I had never drawn much of anything digitally. The first thing I did was ask my teenage daughter how to use some digital drawing apps. She just happened to be using Procreate, and that’s where my journey began. I did not know a layer from a mask, or brushes, or any other elements used in digital painting. My first efforts were frustrating. I knew in my mind what I wanted to create, but I could not carry it out digitally. I knew exactly what I would do if I were working traditionally. I knew how I would mix colors and execute certain aspects of my drawing. Do not despair. By and by, my digital illustrations improved. This was in part to Larissa’s courses. But it was also in part through courses with Mira and all the phenomenal co-teachers in Children’s Book Academy. What is even more incredible, is that I found out about CBA from Larissa and received a scholarship to attend a CBA course.
During the course, I continued to work on my digital illustration skills, and I continued to work on my craft of writing for children. I soaked in as much knowledge as I could during those six months from June – December 2020. One of the wonderful culminations of Children’s Book Academy courses is the Golden Tickets one might receive. As it turns out, I did receive multiple Golden Tickets, one of which led to my debut author-illustrated picture book “Old to Joy” with Gnome Road Publishing (2023). Transitioning from traditional to digital meant quite the learning curve, but there are so many courses and videos available to help make that process easier. I continue to take courses and workshops to improve both my writing and digital illustration capabilities. And our children are worth it!

We just passed the halfway mark on the calendar. It's time to take stock of your writing life and put into place some accountability systems. Here are a few ideas to try:
1) Take note of the stories you are currently working on, those you might want to place on the back burner, or those you might want to work on for the rest of the year. Write a list of your goals for the remaining months of 2022. Ask your critique partners to help prioritize your goals.
2) Be intentional with your kidlit reading. Jot down several books that you want to read and potentially use for comparative titles. Keep an active list on Goodreads or through your library's books on hold service. Check in with friends and online kidlit groups for the latest book suggestions in your genre and others.
3) Access your idea files. Are you running low on potential ideas? Do you need to replenish with new ideas? Would it be helpful to mash together some ideas from your idea notebook? Check in with your writing pals and help each other prioritize ideas to work on for the rest of the year.
Stay accountable to yourself and to your writing partners during this month and throughout the year. Let me know how you are doing in the comments. Happy August and cheers to creativity.

“Emotion - a strong feeling deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others” Oxford Languages.
Emotions we all have them; we can’t deny them or quash them. But if we can’t deny and quash them, what can we do? Well as writers we can write about them. The books we write for children can provide a great opportunity to help them to identify and accept their feelings in a safe environment. Uber talented and emotional acceptance champion Kitty Black does just that in her emotional literacy series FOLLOW YOUR FEELINGS.
Kitty champions emotional acceptance through the use of big doses of humour and heart. Here are some of Kitty’s favourite spread from FOLLOW YOUR FEELINGS - LUCY AND SAD.
K - I love this spread because of Sad’s almost deliberate quirky confusion about who or what biscuits are. Following up Sad’s confusion with enthusiasm for cat food is a light-hearted moment foreshadowing the mood shift within the book.
S – This spread is a great example of using heart and humour. You can see the connection between Lucy and Sad on the left, when she is trying to make Sad, happy. Which quickly turns into humour on the right when Sad tries to eat the cat biscuits (or Tiny Floor Biscuits).
K - I love this spread because it’s the turning point for Max in emotional acceptance, and because Worry looks adorably funny in the stressed out collapsed on the bed pose. A pose which I’m sure we’ve all found ourselves in at some point or another!
S- Here Jess Rose, the amazing illustrator of both Lucy and worry, illustrations add greatly to the story. They show how stressed-out Worry is about the possibility of getting something wrong. The heart in this spread can be seen in the way Max is talking to Worry as well as the reassuring hand he places on Worry.
Next time you’re feeling like Sad or Worry try and remember how Lucy and Max accepted and followed their feelings.
See you in August with another great Aussie book.
For a chance to win a copy of either LUCY AND SAD or MAX AND WORRY

Recently, I was asked what I use to conduct research for my non-fiction books like BLACK MEN IN SCIENCE. I thought I’d take a moment and share my three favorite resources.
Resource #1: Newspapers.com
Newspapers.com is, hands down, one of my favorite resources. If you’re not familiar with it, it is a website that provides access to more than 700 million pages from over 21,000 newspapers dating back to the 1700s. I’ve used newspapers.com to research my picture book, THE FREEMAN FIELD PHOTOGRAPH and to find articles about several of the subjects in BLACK MEN IN SCIENCE. If you’re looking for information on a subject for biography, or information in a moment in history, check out Newspapers.com.
Note: A subscription is required but my local library provides subscriptions for free to all library card members. Check to see if your library does the same.
Resource #2: Ancestry.com
IF you’ve ever done any genealogy research, you’re likely familiar with Ancestry.com, on of the leading genealogy research sites. The cool thing about Ancestry.com is that you can use it to research other people a well (within reason, of course). You can search census results, military records, birth and death certificates, and so on. I’ve used it to verify birth dates, spouses names, and even find family photographs of some of my subjects to get some context on their lives. If, like me, you enjoy research, Ancestry.com is an endless source of research opportunities.
Note: A subscription is required but, like Newspapers.com above, some libraries provide free access. Check with your local library.
Resource #3: Libraries
Speaking of your local library, libraries are one of my favorite sources of information when I’m doing research. I know, that seems pretty obvious. Look beyond your local library. Many libraries have collections on important figures, groups, or events. For example, I found a collection of Dr. Leonidas Berry’s papers and artifacts in the Chicago Public Library. These documents, which included letters from political leaders and fellow doctors documenting his contributions to the medical field. Check with libraries in the vicinity of your subject matter to see what information they can share.
Well, that’s all for this month. Happy writing, and have a magical month.

This quick and easy Chinese Orange Beef boasts perfectly balanced flavors and can be whipped up in less than 30 minutes on the stove top with basic pantry ingredients. It’s a great week-night dinner that’s even faster than take-out! Serve it with white rice or another favorite grain and a vegetable side for an easy dinner everyone will love.
Make Orange Sauce
To make this easy orange sauce, you’ll whisk together orange zest and orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and cornstarch.
If you’ve never worked with fresh ginger, check out this post for more info. I like use a cheese grater to grate directly into the bowl.
We’re using flank steak here and since we need it cut super thin, it really helps to pop it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before you cut it. You don’t want it completely frozen through, just firm enough to add some resistance so you can slice it as thin as possible. Make sure to cut your steak “across the grain” for a tender bite. See this post if you’d like a more detailed description of that process.
Cook the Chinese Orange Beef
This cooking process is quick and simple! Give the beef a quick saute (you may need to do this in batches) and remove from the pan. Pour your sauce in the pan and use a spatula to scrape up all the cooked bits and then simmer it together with the beef until it’s thickened.
It’s sweet and savory and bright and flavorful. This sauce is spot on, and it perfectly clings to the tender steak. It’s loads better than take-out, and faster too! Here’s some serving ideas to go along with this easy meal.Print
Quick and Easy Chinese Orange Beef
- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 25 minutes
- Yield: 4
- Cuisine: Asian
Easy Chinese Orange beef can be whipped up in less than 30 minutes on the stove top with pantry ingredients. Serve with white rice and a vegetable.
2–3 teaspoons grated orange zest (I just zest 1 whole orange)
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Asian chili sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons cornstarch
vegetable oil for pan
1 1/2 pounds flank steak, trimmed and sliced thin across grain and lightly sprinkled with salt and pepper (to clarify: that’s one steak, that weighs about 1.5 pounds)
3–4 green onions, sliced
hot white or brown rice for serving
Whisk orange zest and orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, chili sauce, ginger, and cornstarch together in a bowl.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Drizzle pan with oil and tilt to coat. Add half of beef, breaking up any clumps and let cook without stirring for one minute. Stir beef and continue to cook until browned, about 2 minutes; transfer to a bowl and cover. Repeat with remaining beef and transfer to bowl.
Whisk sauce to recombine, add to now-empty skillet, and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Return cooked beef, with any accumulated juices, to skillet and toss to combine. Serve over rice and garnish with green onions.
Keywords: Steak, Asian, Orange, beef
I’m trying to add more veggies to my family’s diet. Do you have a side dish that you recommend serving with this? It looks wonderful.
It’s perfect with a simple roasted, steamed, or sauteed broccoli or green beans.
Love this site. Just got both cookbooks and right now am chowing down on the cheesy enchiladds (pg 29?) Anyway, so good. This website helps fuel my love for cooking, and of course eating. I literally fell asleep on my couch reading one of the books cover to cover-that’s how excited I was. You have some great healthy recipes included in your other books, would be neat to see a cookbook focused on all healthy recipes (ironic to mention after eating the cheesy enchiladas. But anyway…) Big fan of you guys 🙂
This was a total lifesaver. I found myself at 5:00 wondering what I was going to make for dinner. I had everything on hand and threw it together. Delicious!
My hubby and I have 14 wonderful grandchildren. So we would definitely use the prize money and have a great time with the gang! This is one grandma who loves your recipes!
seasoned or natural rice vinegar
Either, or 🙂
We had everything on hand for this and made it for dinner tonight. Yummy! Thanks OBB for yet another winner.
Love all your recipes! I cannot wait to try making this chinese orange beef!Can you PLEASE tell me what kind of pans you use (not just for this recipe)? I have been shopping for new cookware (pan set)…it is so overwhelming! I LOVE to cook & bake so I need a good set of cookware! Thanks for any input!
So yummy! Does/did your husband work for ATK? Do you use All Clad pans? Or what brand are they?
No, my husband has never worked for ATK- why do you ask? Lol. I’m just a big fan so I use their recipes a lot! That is an All-Clad pan, I have a couple of them, but I don’t use them exclusively.
Okay, I am apparently a totally clueless cook, but I can’t figure out if you mean 1 flank steak that is 1/2 lb. or 1.5 lbs of flank steak… Could you clarify for those really special people out there? 🙂
Haha, no it’s tricky! I actually re-worded the way I wrote that multiple times! You want to use one flank steak, that weighs about 1.5 pounds. Does that make sense?
Totally! Thank you!!!
Oh my. What beautiful measuring spoons! (Ok, weirdest thing I’ve said all day…) No, but really… Where did you get them? 🙂 This looks delicious!
Both the spoons and the cups are from World Market- here’s a link!
They’re porcelain, so I usually only use them when I’m cooking to photograph and don’t want to use my ugly half-melted plastic ones, haha.
Funny, I had Chinese on the mind too. I just finished posting a spicy Chinese Green Bean Beef last week. 🙂 Now I’ll have to make this too! My Chinese kick continues…http://burntapple.com/2013/02/21/chinese-green-bean-and-beef/
I’ve noticed y’all use dark brown sugar in a lot of your recipes, I’m guessing it is to add a deeper flavor, yes? Do you keep light brown sugar on hand for anything or should I just always use the dark stuff? I’m just wondering about containers…get an extra one for dark brown or scrap the light stuff and use that container….important stuff, ya know!
Yep, you’re right. Dark brown sugar just has more molasses in it, giving it a deeper, richer flavor. Most recipes call for light brown sugar, so that’s what I usually use, but if a recipe specifically calls for dark brown it’s nice to have on hand. When it comes down to it, you can easily get away with using either/or in a recipe. I sometimes swap them just depending on what I have.
I only keep dark…haven’t found a recipe yet that I like better with light. 🙂
I am looking forward to trying this recipe. I am always looking for something quick, interesting, and tasty. Thanks for sharing.
How delicious!! Pinned! 🙂
I would love for you to join my Link Up!
I’m finding that I don’t love the taste of fresh ginger. I think it is because I always expect a sweet taste but it is more salty. If I leave ginger out of this recipe…would it still be yummy or would it be way too sweet? Thanks!
Ginger isn’t salty, at all. It’s more of a citrus flavor, bright and fresh. I personally wouldn’t leave it out of this recipe!
I’ll give it another try! Thanks!
Try the tubes of fresh ginger in the produce section. They are SUPER easy (no grating necessary!), super tasty, and you can pop them in the freezer and save for later. 🙂 You also won’t get any “woody”ness that you sometimes find if the ginger isn’t really fresh.
You guys seriously are too much of a good thing. On the spot dinner and photograph and post about it? I dont know how you do it
Could you substitute skirt steak? That’s what I have in my freezer right now. 🙂
Can’t wait to try this. What kind of knife do you use to cute your meat? Serrated? I seem to have a hard time getting my meat cut super thin. Thank you!
I use a big long serrated knife, almost like a bread knife, it works really well!
Really want to try, it looks so tasty! Question, will there be a big difference in taste if I use light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar?
Nah, go ahead and use light if that’s what you’ve got- it will be just as good. The dark just adds a little more depth of flavor.
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to try it!
Dang! I have everything to make this except the Asian Chili Sauce. I’m guessing there is no substitute for that. This looks amazing though.
Make it anyway! Throw a pinch of red pepper flakes in there (or a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle of cayanne) and a little garlic powder. It will still be yummy!
This looks great! Can’t wait to try it.
This looks so good! I’ve been looking for more recipes without garlic and onions because they make me nauseous right now. Thanks for adding another to my list! 🙂
Thanks for this. Orange beef is my favorite Chinese dish and not always easy to find. It’s good to know there is a healthier homemade option that I can actually cook (read: not so complicated it’s off-putting). Thanks again!
This recipe looks great. Is there a substitute you recommend for zest? I get really sick if I eat anything with zest, lemon and orange. The juice is fine, but for some odd reason, zest does not sit well. I tend to leave out the zest and make recipes with just the juice, but I hear how the zest intensifies the flavor and wondered if there were any options for me that are zest less.
Honestly, while there’s some things that could intensify the citrus flavor (dried zest, flavored oils, etc.) there’s really no great substitute for the flavor and brightness that fresh zest adds to a recipe.
This looks good! I love creating dishes at home that you usually get for take out. They are always much better, healthier and cheaper. I will be adding this to my list of recipes to try.
I made this for dinner tonight (I am many time zones ahead of you). DELICIOUS. I loved the zing of the real orange flavor. Thanks for the great recipe!
This sounds delicious! I have a question about “boiling the meat.” Does that happen just from trying to cook too much at once? I have never been able to figure out why it happens sometimes and not other times. We have 8 people in our family so I am usually cooking a lot at once. Will cooking half at a time prevent the problem or are there other contributing factors?
I also meant to ask whether clementines will work or if they need to be big oranges. Other than needing to use more of them, does it matter?
I think the “oranges” I used were actually something like tangelos and it was fine. The flavor was just a little more intense. 🙂
I’ve totally done that in a pinch! They’ll work, although the flavor will be a little different and you’ll need a bunch! I’d use oranges if you can, but in a pinch, something like clementines will work just fine.
There’s a few factors. First you want to make sure your meat is defrosted and patted dry. Then make sure your pan is properly heated up before you add meat to it (hot, not warm) but biggest factor is when you crowd a pan. The meat needs surface area to give off moisture and then let it evaporate to facilitate browning. If you crowd lots of meat in the pan, some of it won’t have direct contact with the heat surface. The large quantity of meat will then release a lot of moisture and have no place to go, so it just creates a pool where the meal “boils”. If you’re cooking a lot at once, it’s worth it to use a large pan and cook it in batches. Hope that helps!
I’ve had the same problem cooking quite a bit at once. I generally just drain off most of the excess liquid so that it fries rather than boiling, but cooking it half at a time might work as well.
This looks delicious! We love Chinese food, so this will be a good new recipe to try.
I may just be blind but I think the brown sugar is missing from the ingredients list…I’m assuming it’s 1/4 cup since that’s what you have in your pictures, but I just wanted to let you know. The recipe looks amazing, can’t wait to try this out this week. Thanks for sharing!!
Yes, thank you!

Holiday movies don’t come any more Christmasy than “Black Nativity,” a heart-on-its-sleeve musical fable of family friction that radiates holiday spirit.
“Out of the Furnace” comes from director Scott Cooper, who gives this melancholy melodrama a strong sense of place and a relentless deterministic pull.
For the second weekend in a row, director Lee Daniels’ The Butler, the racial bio-drama starring Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey, finished first at the box office, earning an additional $17-million.
This is a soundly made film, downright old-fashioned in its narrative confidence and technical simplicity, unerring in its period detail and behavior.
The best thing about the film is the sense of humor that it sustains throughout, some of it raucous, some of it low-keyed — until the bloodbath in the third act.

‘If The Girl on the Train was the woman of 2015, then Sophie Stark is this year’s model. Anna North’s new novel, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, has been a hit in America, with Lena Dunham describing its protagonist as a “totally unforgettable female antihero”. Out now – soon every girl on every train will be reading it’ Sunday Times Who is the real Sophie Stark? The Life and Death of Sophie Stark is the story of an enigmatic film director, told by the six people who loved her most.
Brilliant, infuriating, all-seeing and unknowable, Sophie Stark makes films said to be ‘more like life than life itself’. But her genius comes at a terrible cost: to her husband, to the brother she left behind, and to an actress who knows too much. With shades of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, A Visit from the Goon Squad and Where’d You Go, Bernadette, it combines a uniquely appealing sensibility with a compulsively page-turning plot.

Best Blink 182 Albums
The Top Ten
Dude come on. How can you start with Dumpweed and not be at the top. This contains all types of songs here. You have "Adams Song" for the low and "all the small things" for highs. They have great deep cuts like "Mutt", "Aliens Exist" and the speed demon "The Party Song"!
Most hits hot girl on cover, just plain epicness
Pop punk, unlike self titled which is just break up songs
whats my age again?, dumpweed, adam's song, all the small things.
i think its better than blink 182
best blink-182 album I mean I'm lost without you, violence, feeling this, down, asthenia and my favourite blink-182 song Always enough said best blink album
This album is an absolute MASTERPIECE... do you hear me? MASTERPIECE. This is the very first album I have listened through all the way without skipping ANY of the songs. Plus, this album shows a fantastic mature side of Blink 182 while remaining pop punk. With an opener like Feeling This, you know the album is going to be good. I miss you is one of the greatest songs ever written (their best in my opinion). Down is the perfect mix of maturity and punk on this album. All of this features an interesting mix of the cure and Blink, while I'm lost without you delivers a somber, slightly depressing, yet quality ending to the album. This is probably my favorite album ever, and it is worth ten times the money I paid for it
This album is one of my all time favorites. Also, blink-182 is one of my favorite bands, I love most of their music and this album is their pinnacle! They experimented a lot and had great success, in "Feelin' This" there is a lot of overlapping vocal parts and different sound effects and a synthesizer used. "I Miss You" is this dark and beautiful love song and "Go" is a short, fast-paced, punk-rock jam and that shows a little but of the variation on this album.
This album flows so beautifully and has so many great songs. This was also a big turning point in terms of maturity where a deeper emotional side of Tom and Mark are mentioned throughout the tracks.
A beautiful album. every song on its is enjoyable and fantastic. while I really like Take Off and Enema, but this album is more mature, and all of the songs flow together. 2 of the first songs I ever heard by blink, I Miss You and Stockholm Syndrome, are on this album. my favorite is Stockholm Syndrome, and I also really like Always, Down, Feeling This, Violence, I Miss You, and All of This.
Alright so I haven't listened to blink in about one year, so I figured that I would try to see if their music still held up. I popped in my dude ranch CD and it still rules! The most punk rock energy and had better songs that Cheshire Cat (although they are both great). But if someone told me blink isn't relevant I would direct them to this record
If people who voted on this list actually listened to all blinks albums they would realise that dude ranch is undoubtedly a punk masterpiece and their best album
Their best album by far.
It's the best album of all time ever
For me, this one is their last pop-punk album before turning to an emo style...
Listen to the songs after the hits... After stay together for the kids you might think oh I don't know any of these.. But they are great! It is better than enema all the way thru (enema does have the better top 3 songs) but this has first date, rock show, stay together for the kids, anthem part II, but listen to every single song. You will like every one. Reckless abandon and roller coaster are my two favorites
As a teenager, I can relate to this album. It basically talks about parties, dates, friends, having crushes on people, relationships, it's just great and relatable.
This album has a song for everything you're going through as a teenager. Being hurt, shut down, going to a party, meeting a girl, going through a family divorce, being isolated or lonely. You name it, this album has it.
Perfect skate punk masterpiece. This and Dude Ranch are the best Blink albums before they went down the more commercial pop punk route.
Amazing masterpiech, from toast and bananas to wasting time some classics on here and I can't emphasize this more, listen to this full album. if we were including demos I wouldve voted for buddha but I don't know, still goooddd
Relatable lyrics, not a single bad song on the album
I'll be honest, I never cared for this one. Too many filler tracks. At this point in their career, they had simple melodies, but haven't fully found their identity yet. And for some reason, I liked Buddha more.
To be honest, I really like this album. It is undoubtedly a different sound than before, but it isn't like they aren't the same band anymore. While songs like "Up All Night" and "Ghost on the Dancefloor" bring a new sound to the band, others like "Heart's All Gone" and "MH 4.18.2011" sound much like their earlier songs. Even if She Falls may very well be the best song ever written, and overall, it's just a great album from a great band who have finally come back and saved music from (c) rap and pop
Up All Night is amazing and hard, I like how Blink 182 matured in this album, I actually like it better than California due to the interesting maturity of this. This album proves that Blink-182 can play harder rock. Tom has awesome vocals by the way, but one con in this album is that Mark barely sings, I think he needs more songs because he has a good voice too.
I listened to all of their Albums, and I can without a doubt say, that I think that this one is the best one. Maybe it is because I grew along with this band, but I think the arrangement and the way that they deliver the sound has never been better on any of the other ones. I just love it!
Love all of blink, but when they came back and made this album it was so awesome so I truly believe that this is their best album ever made. Can listen to it without skipping a single song!
Listen to 21 days and all their "demos" of chesire cat songs. Worth listening to all the way!
This is the most punk rock, skate punk Blink-182 album in my opinion. I love the skating vibes in this album and the rawness of it.
That carousel bass intro... Damn really sets the mood for the whole album
This song is top 5 worthy. How is Neighbourhoods above this?
couldnt decide between this and toypj but its just hilarious
This album is just hilarious.
"When I was in 5th grade, I found out that my dad's wiener was bigger than mine, and, still is.
In my opinion, this is my least favorite Blink-182 album. Matt is a good musician, but he is just not suited to be in the band. I have to admit, I like Bored To Death, that is a good song. But their lyrics aren't as good anymore, and Mark doesn't sound as good as he used to be. Matt sounds too much like Mark, so there is nothing really interesting, I have to admit, I like his guitar riffs. But I don't get how this got good reviews, this is actually my least favorite Blink-182 album. The band is really not as good without Tom, the one who started the band, and his voice is part of what made Blink iconic, I loved hearing it, and he always plays those catchy, loud guitar riffs with those amazingly written lyrics. But I support the fact that he needs to do what he wants to do.
At first listen, all any real blink fan hears is, "no Mark, no blink". But give it a chance and any real blink fan will notice this is as blink as blink has been since "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket". It is right there alongside "Take Off" and "Enema" for their 3 phenomenal albums.
It's not a bad album. The first song definitely leaves a mark. There's some good lyrics on here and catchy tunes. The problem is that 5 or 6 of the songs sound exactly the same.
100% agree it's the best they've done since 'Take Off'. And it isn't far up the list yet because it just came out but it's undoubtedly better then Neighborhoods
An absolutely amazing EP. Blink's usual sound aside, songs like Dogs Eating Dogs and Disaster are absolute tunes. Disaster especially is a phenomenal song.
I feel like this EP is extremely under rated. It may not have the punky-sound from their earlier albums but it's still great! Not a single bad song.
Dude what, this album deserves the number 4 spot and dude ranch deserves 3
Sounds like a perfect continuation From their self titled album. 100 times better than neighborhoods!
All of my favorites, I like how (my favorite blink song) Dammit and Josie sound remastered, and how Whats My Age Again, All the Small Things, my other favorite Adam's Song, Down, and Always don't have the connections on them.
Has all the best of blink-182, more of a compilation album then actual album but has all the best of the pop rock band
Greatest hits. Is it enough?
Legitimately all of their best songs
Zulu and wrecked him are very good songs
THEY NEED TO RELEASE THIS ON ITUNES
Really good ep☺
Such a great demo
Great demo album☺
I love the new album. Yes, Tom isn't there, but the lyrics are so meaningful, especially for a Blink album. After hearing some of the singles, I really thought it was gonna suck, but it looks like that's what they had in mind. The album is Blink 182's sound but modernized. No, it's certainly no Enema of the State, but still worth your time.
Best Blink-182 album. I said it.
No Tom, but any regret to bought this one
Lol so good
Hitler voted for this one

Woman in court for pizza fracas
A COFFS Harbour woman walked into a local pizza store in a drunken rage on Anzac Day and confronted a female employee with whom she had been feuding.
Michelle Rose Carriage, 24, held an open glass bottle as she entered the business about 8pm, the Coffs Harbour Local Court heard this week.
She repeatedly threatened the woman with a tirade of verbal abuse, causing a scene that made staff and customers fear for their safety.
The episode is said to have happened two weeks after the women were involved in an altercation.
Several witnesses in the store at the time told police Carriage threw the glass bottle at the victim and it struck her on the left side of the chest.
As she left the store, Carriage grabbed a chair from the restaurant and walked away.
Staff gave chase, telling police Carriage raised the chair above her head and threw it.
She then swung her handbag at the victim.
The pair began to wrestle before Carriage broke free and grabbed a wine bottle from her handbag and held it out in “a threatening manner”.
After the bottle was taken from her, it became clear the victim had suffered scratches to her head and right forearm.
Carriage fled the scene and the incident was reported to police.
The following day Carriage attended the Coffs Harbour Police Station and declined to be interviewed.
She was arrested and charged with common assault and pleaded guilty in court this week.
She was placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond.
Police said Carriage expressed remorse for her actions, saying she was well-affected by alcohol at the time.

By John Heydon - 29th December 2015 3:30pm
Organiser of the Haddenham Ceilidhs, John Heydon, welcomes new and regular visitors to the New Year of folk events in Haddenham village hall.
We are all looking forward to our first Ceilidh and Concert in the New Year this Saturday at Haddenham Village Hall.
For our Ceilidh in the Main Hall, we start at 8.00pm with music from Asha with Simon Loake calling the dances, a short dance display from Jo & Simon Harmer and a couple of songs from Ninebarrow.
Asha is an exciting five-piece multi-instrumental ceilidh band with a broad dynamic range second to none, ranging from exhilarating tunes with synthesizer and electric guitar to soft lilting melodies featuring flute, violin and melodeon.
Our concert in the intimate Walter Rose Room will start at 8.45pm with a short spot from our compere, Kitty Vernon, followed by a 20-minute spot from Out of Hand and then two 45-minute spots from our main guests of the evening, Ninebarrow.
From this January, the 20 minute spots will feature young musicians and singers. For the first -one of this series we have Out of Hand, a spin-off band from NYFTE who provided the music for one of the afternoon ceilidhs at the Chippenham Festival earlier this year. Following their performance, you can then enjoy Ninebarrow whose accompaniments are sensitive, never intrusive — they leave plenty of room for the song. These musicians are making a big name for themselves!
Doors open 7.15pm, dancing starts at 8.00pm. £11 lets you dance or enjoy the concert or perhaps a bit of both! We rarely put up "House Full " signs as the village hall is a wonderfully accommodating venue but if you are concerned about gaining admission on the evening, just email or telephone me and I will reserve ticket for you on the door.
Full details of our programme up to June 2016 are available on our website.

text: The final recordings (and third single) to be released from the Elvis Is Back sessions became their biggest seller, with 1.8 million sales in the U.S. alone. In addition, the A-side came with a most unusual provenance. A 1920s hit closer to parlor music than rock ‘n’ roll, it was the first (and virtually the only) song ever suggested by the Colonel at a regular recording session. It was his wife Marie’s favorite song, particularly as done by one of his earliest musical associates, Gene Austin, and Parker thought it would be particularly suited to Elvis’ new style. It was. Elvis loved the song, which came complete with a Shakespearean-style recitation, and he sang it in the studio with the lights out, giving himself over totally to its message.

Will you come to the love shop with me and buy me some love? Sell me your jet black heart and I’ll leave you a note, You know the world can be yours if you’d just let me know, Well time moves quick, so don’t make this slow.
O Don’t you cut me off of all that you’re giving me, I’ll come around as long as you need me, I’m forever yours if you give me everything, Just pay my cause and I’ll kill your loneliness.
I’ll go to the Car shop with you to get you some wheels, Just show me some love so we’ll make a deal, Just take your time, no need for the urgency, Are you up for it, just say what you feel?
No don’t you cut me off of all that you’re giving me, I’ll come around as long as you need me, I’m forever yours if you give me everything, Just pay my cause and I’ll kill your loneliness.
At 10:30, Silence Dispersed,every edge withdrew with dark, The moon was pale, still brightening as diamond spark, At the tree, an owl hoot, at surface dogs barked. Sudden, I heeded, the sound of footsteps was appearing from the street, exulted
Far away from the world of love, hatred and war There is yet another world breathing silently Thats the world of love we call. There holds no boundaries No caste or creed Its purely emotions swirling freely. No land is
True love is something so elusive. True love between two people is the most precious of gifts, Falling in love is not just an expression. Love is a powerful force that cannot be dissuaded. Love requires a lot of faith.

If you or someone you know suffers on the drug addiction, drug rehab is solution to getting clean and starting excessively. There are many purposes why a person becomes addicted to drugs. Particular person may have given any drug a shot and then became addicted since quite a lot of those medicines are habit making. Regardless of the source of addiction, drugs and alcohol rehab helps turn lives around on a daily basis.
Its incredible how our friends recovered from drug addiction with the right drug rehab treatment in conjunction with the correct drug alcohol rehab program. There are types of rehab centers, trust me we tried more than enough. Sometimes you might find the drug clinic that works for you in the first try, meals from scratch . you need to try increased.
Someone is actually frequently and obviously drunk has a complaint that no one, but an an affiliate the same condition, could miss. But some people can drink excessively and not really seem encountering it on the point of having slurred speech and the opposite symptoms we’re familiar because of. That doesn’t mean their less drunk, or less impaired, their body just reacts differently.
Also, if the person quits drinking or taking drugs they will no longer a great escape from whatever drives them to alcohol or drugs regarding first locate.
Addicts make an effort get off drugs cold turkey, and almost never make it’s. They also sometimes go through drug detox and alcohol and drugs rehab programs and relapse. Parents and friends of often feel they can’t do anything about the situation – they’ve reasoned, pleaded and threatened, and none of it’s done a good buy.
Clínica de Reabilitação em Palmas cleared me to join the full treatment programme on my second day in treatment. The group of patients in there were much like me – there’s like my imagination had led me to believe they may possibly. They were friendly and spoke a whole lot about how their drinking had negatively affected their lives. Features workout plans largely this means that openness and candor i gradually began to relate large numbers of with them and began to really see just how much drinking alcohol controlled my life.
The bible is mostly used as being a weapon to get rid of drug addiction in a Christian rehab center. The teachings of this bible may be to assist build your faith and trust in God to help you to overcome the trouble. It is said in these centers which usually higher strength is for you to overcome addiction if affected person is in order to do such his or her own and the only method tap into this might is being educated by way of bible. Solar energy collection system is developed help fulfil the vacuum that the addict is trying to satisfy with drugs. This power of God, the addict can give up and say no to drugs for the delicate process of his or her life.


Algieri-Pacquiao would be a huge fight, says DeGuardia
By Chris Williams: Joe DeGuardia, the promoter for WBO light welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-0, 8 KO’s), thinks that Bob Arum of Top Rank won’t be able to resist the marketability that a fight between his guy Algieiri and Arum’s No.1 money maker Manny Pacquiao will create for next November.
DeGuardia believes this fight will create a lot of interest from fans of the sport wanting to see how Pacquiao does against the younger, and taller Algieri.
“I think Bob (Arum) is the type of businessman where he can see the enormous potential of a fight between Manny and Chris,” DeGuardia said. “Chris is someone who brings something completely different to the table in terms of marketability that no other fighter can bring. It would be huge, him and Manny facing each other.”
I don’t know if this is a fight that will sell, but I do know that it’s a lot more interesting to me than seeing Pacquiao fight Juan Manuel Marquez for a fifth time. That match-up has been overplayed to the fullest by Arum, and it’s forlorn. Just because Arum can make the fight doesn’t mean he should. He should think about trying to keep Pacquiao’s fans by matching him against new guys each time out instead of trotting out 40-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez once a year to fight him.
It would be a risk for Arum to match Pacquiao against Algieri, but if this is all he has for the 35-year-old Filipino star then he should take the fight. I have a feeling that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez won’t be there for Pacquiao in November, because he’s probably going to lose to Erislandy Lara next month in their Showtime pay-per-view fight on 7/12.
Algieri is a good stay busy fight for Pacquiaio. As flawed as Pacquiao is, I’m under no illusions that someone like Algieri will beat him. He barely beat Ruslan Provodnikov, so that shows you where Algieri is in terms of ability. But he’d give Pacquiao some problems in losing to him. I’d rather see Pacquiao fight Amir Khan, Shawn Porter or Keith Thurman, but those fights aren’t going to happen. And as I said before, the Pacquiao-Marquez series needs to buried already and never restarted. If that’s all Arum’s got then it’s pretty sad.

The Unknown Orson Welles: The Deep [work print ]
Believed to be the closest of any of the Orson Welles unfished projects to completion THE DEEP has been the source of much speculation among Welles scholars and fans. If the problem was merely a little editing and some rerecording of voices it really should be viewable…right?
Well, yes and no- certainly it wasn’t until Stefan Droessler, the head of the Munich Filmmuseum, had it cut together from three different work prints. And now the film is still unfinished with almost no music, a lot of missing voices and some repetition. It’s in a state that caused Welles scholars it was shown to to balk at its flaws and a good number of walk outs at the recent Museum of Modern Art screening. I’m not sure what anyone who saw it and hated it or walked out was expecting since it was never meant to be seen like this or be as long as it is (just about 2 hour hours), but if you saw it and took Droessler's advice at the start to see the film for what it could be finished its a major kick in the pants and a solid thriller.
Before the MOMA screening the head of the Munich Film Museum talked about the film. He explained that when he got the job the first thing he wanted to see was THE DEEP. He figured that with it being the closest to completion of any Welles unfinished project he could see a near finished film- what he saw instead was several rough work prints with odd tics to them, With every version pat was in color partly in black and white depending upon what was cheapest to print. Some sequences had been “finished” some hadn’t. Welles also cut together multiple takes in sequence so he could decide later which to use. The sound existed for some pieces but not others. Most of Welles voice was gone because of being shot on location with a noisy camera it was all going to be post dubbed so no one cared-at the time(though Welles can be heard dubbing Laurence Harvey for the work prints) . Most troubling was that while the film followed the script closely there was two dream sequences that they had no notes for.
Stefan Droessler said that using the script and notes he had the film put together to see how it played. For him it was clear that the film was very close to being completed. It was clear that the film really is there and that with work, especially a recording of a new soundtrack, the film actually could be released. This almost complete version was the was shown to Welles scholars that was balked at itans was was being shown that night to those of us at MOMA.
The film is based on DEAD CALM by Charles Williams which served as the source of the Philip Noyce film DEAD CALM with Nicole Kidman, Billy Zane and Same Neill. Welles’ version is closer to the source novel with the addition of two additional characters played by Welles and Jean Moreau.
The plot of the film has a young couple( Michael Bryant and Oja Kodar) on honeymoon becalmed off the coast of Africa. When they see a ship in the distance they sail over to say hello. Along the way they run across Hughie played by Laurence Harvey who is rowing over in a dinghy. He says big ship came from now deserted and sinking. It seems his wife and another couple died as a result of severe food poisoning. When Bryant insists on going to get the documentation for the ship to help with insurance and so he can actually be certain that he can tell authorities what happened Harvey balks, saying all paper work was ruined by the water and goes below to sleep. However when Bryant crosses to the ship and finds Jean Moreau and Orson Welles locked in the sinking ship, he knows something is wrong and he races to get back to his own boat only to find Harvey had taken control and is using the motor to sail off. Bryant then attempts to give chase in the sinking ship.
For me the film the film is a revelation. Forced to work within the limitations of boats on the ocean Welles was forced to get away from his short hand techniques and signature shots. As Joe Bendel said he couldn’t go for his typical low angles because you can’t knock the bottom out of a boat unless you’re aiming to sink it. In a weird way I think this could have been one of Welles best films largely because it isn’t like all his others- welles was forced to be creative to go beyond the typical and it helped.
As it stands now it does need a lot of work. The film is mostly silent. Welles character can be seen to talk but his voice was never dubbed in. Conversations repeat giving a weird dream like quality to bits of it. Several sequences-the burning of the boat for example go on way too long and clearly contains every scrap of film shot for it. I understand why people walked out of this cut. It is over long at times dull. It can be a tough haul especially in the first half.
But if you realize that this version would be cut down and can see the forest for the trees then you realize that this is something special. It’s a really good little pulp thriller. If it doesn’t have the deeper meanings of earlier Welles films it maybe more entertaining. To me the only obvious problems are minor ones, in particular the obvious false modesty of the naked Kodar as she comes on and off the boat.
Interestingly while the film suffers from some missing footage, seemingly just insert shots, we were told that the film was supposed to end with some footage of Harvey’s and Welles characters being attacked by sharks. The footage has gone missing and Welles was apparently upset the red blood they used looked green on film. To be honest film works better without it- not seeing what happening is much more haunting.
I really like the film and I can’t wait to see it finished….
…and that actually may happen. Droessler said that they are trying to work out the rights to finish the film. .Additionally they would have to figure out how to dub the film, with most people being afraid to dub Welles. I don’t know why since he frequently dubbed everyone else.
Should you get a chance to see this version and think you can work with its limitations see it. It’s a kick in the pants

NICKY SOUTHALL'S first-half double handed leaders Nottingham Forest a classic smash-and-grab raid at struggling Cheltenham.
The home side saw their dreadful losing streak extend to eight out of the nine last league games courtesy of winger Southall.
His first came shortly after the half hour mark when Junior Agogo threaded a pass through for Southall to fire the ball home.
Four minutes later, good work by Neil Harris down the left flank resulted in Southall bundling the ball in at the back post.
It was tough on John Ward's men, who had enjoyed most of the possession and went close to scoring early on.
