Mark, Aaron, and Spencer discuss the Recovery Topic of Relapse. Aaron and Mark shared that they have not relapsed since they began their time in the fellowship. Spencer, an Al-Anon, shared that he has experienced relapse in terms that his loved-one has relapsed before. Spencer shared that when he experienced his loved-one's relapse, he fell back on old ways in terms of trying to control the situation. Spencer also shared that he never saw any of the signs of relapse and his denial prevented him from seeing clearly. Spencer shared that he also was over confident in terms of his loved one's sobriety. Spencer eventually started to work his Al-anon program by going to more meetings.
Aaron shared that he never really tried to get sober before he came to the program. Mark shared about his experience with over confidence in recovery. Over confidence led him into a situation where he thought about drinking, but he called his sponsor first. Mark learned a valuable lesson, stay accountable and always beware that relapse is only a sip away. Aaron shared that when a friend relapses and returns to the fellowship, he notices that regret and shame is such a big part of their early re-recovery.
Spencer shared that when his loved-ones relapsed, he had to learn how to manage his craving to control the other person's behavior. Mark shared from the Big Book on page 34. The lesson is to never get to Hungry, Angry, Lonely, nor Tired (HALT).
Making 12 Step Calls – Recovered 396
https://recoveredcast.com/wp-content/themes/osmosis/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 Mark S Mark S https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ef9469e066cec98d7076ffb23120cf87?s=96&d=mm&r=g January 28, 2013 January 28, 2013
Mark, Aaron, and Russ discussed making 12-step calls and doing 12-step work. Russ opens the show by explaining a 12-step call. Russ said a 12-step call is when someone who is mired in the disease of alcoholism calls into a hotline and asks for help. The hotline then will send someone to go out to the one who called and talk to the person who asked for help. Usually the program is explained and then the object is to go to a meeting.
Aaron said that he never called a hotline for help. Aaron explained that he Goggled "Alcoholics Anonymous" and found clubs and meeting times. The internet is now a common place to be 12-stepped. Aaron knew he needed AA just because of the reputation of AA and how people talked about it.
Mark shared that AA was a possibility for hope because of his son who was the first one in the family who became a member. 6 months after his son entered the fellowship, Mark entered too. After Mark's first meeting, he was asked if he would like someone to visit him in his home to explain the program. Mark's wife was actually the first in the family to go to an AA meeting through her education as a psychologist As part of an assignment in her graduate work, she was required to attend an AA meeting. Mark explained that his first sponsor, Jeff, visited him and 12-stepped him. Jeff simply told Mark his drinking story all the way up to his first AA meeting.
Russ explained that the object of a 12-step call is to get the person to a meeting. Aaron explained that the 12-steps were first explained to him at meetings. When a newcomer is at a meeting, the meeting is now a 12-step call. The program should be explained and any burning desires by others should be tabled until the next meeting. Russ said anybody is qualified to make a 12-step call, but they should not go alone. The reason is because there may be a temptation to drink if you go alone. Also, the situation could be dangerous so they should not go alone.

This Episode is sponsored by Siegfried W.
Mark, Joe, Spencer, and Russ discuss their successes and failures in 2012. Joe started the show by talking about how his work in the program has paid off this year. The living amends Joe worked on paid off in his family relations, especially with his father, sister, and nephew. Joe said that he received so much more than sobriety by working the steps. The program gave him the tools to change so that his family relationships could grow.
Spencer talked about the power of steps 6 and 7. He had worked these steps previously, but this time he really explored some fear areas of his life and he was more ready to accept them as part of his life. By working these steps, he received relief. As soon as he was ready, the grip on him started to be removed and he got relief. Spencer understands that he is being relieved of these fears, they are not gone, but lessened. There is work to be done and habits have been formed around these fears and he is working on it. It is a relief for Spencer to talk about these fears.
Russ shared about his ability to be a citizen of the world. Russ is more aware of his gratitude for opportunities because of his sobriety. There have been ups and downs but he is more aware of the necessity to be open minded. He has discovered the gifts of the program but is also aware there is more work to be done. Just like if he was to receive a new car as a gift, he still would have to change the oil and do a maintenance program to take care of the gift. Russ shared that growth implies change and sometimes change can be painful.
Mark shared that his so grateful to be able to go through the difficult moments sober, like the death of his son. He is grateful for the program and the fellowship so that he can feel the feelings and not have to take a drink to cope. Mark shared that he has more awareness of his need for his higher power. Mark is also more aware his profound love for the people around him. These are both gifts of the program.

Tonight, Mark, Joe, Aaron, and Russ gather and discuss relationships. We discussed how to determine if relationships are healthy, toxic, and how to disengage if they are toxic .Joe began the show by reflecting on how relationships can be helpful in recovery. By being in the fellowship, Joe learned how to have fun. He thought that when he first came into the program, his life with fun in it was over. Being able to talk and relate with others have helped him in recovery. Healthy relationships have taught Joe how to live.
Aaron shared that relationships have improved since he came into the program. He now hangs around with crazy AA people he now calls friends. Friendships outside the fellowship have improved and increases. Mark shared that friends inside AA have helped him by challenging him. When Russ first came around, he had no idea what a healthy relationship was. At first, Russ made a few very good and close friends; all his drinking buddies fell away right away. Aaron shared that when he first came in, his old friends still wanted to hang out. Aaron said he had to separate himself from these toxic relations which was very difficult. Russ said that he first began healthy relationships at meetings. Russ old idea of having fun with friends turned out be very dangerous for him. Early in the program, Russ began to share what he thought was feelings with other men for the first time. At first, the only feeling he was aware of was anger. Russ' social life began by attending sober parties, playing cards, and he even learned how to play backgammon. Mark could relate with only allowing anger to be felt as a feeling, but the program taught him that anger was a mask covering deeper feelings.
Russ shared that when he becomes obsessive with someone, this is a red flag indicating a toxic relationship. When someone demands all his time, this is a toxic indicator. Russ said that he makes mistakes all the time when it comes to being able to detect toxicity in a relationship. With time, he discovered that he had a 6th sense when it comes to bad relationships; now he pays attention when these feeling bubble up.
Aaron said that when he looses a sense of self in the relationship, this is bad for him. Also, when a relationship becomes a deterrent to the fellowship, this is a warning sign for him. Russ and Aaron both indicated that a toxic relationship is determined by how they react to a person, not necessarily how the other person acts. Joe shared that figuring out people is very difficult for him. Joe said that when he first same into the fellowship, he thought that his relationship with his father was toxic. But after some time in the program, Joe has a healthier relationship with his father. The program helped Joe work through some issues around his father which allowed him to be more loving, patient and tolerant with his father, which has been positive with his relationship with his dad.

Recovered 388 Show Notes – Dating in Recovery
This week, three single guys talk about dating in recovery. Mark talks with Joe, Aaron, and Chris about their experience, strength, and hope regarding dating in recovery.
Joe started by sharing that he was in relationship when he first came into the program. Initially, the fact that Joe was sober helped their relationship. Unlike other women that Joe had dated before recovery, this woman didn't drink much. After about a year of being sober, they decided to part ways. One of the reasons was that the fellowship took a lot of Joe's attention.
Aaron came into the fellowship "single" and was terrified of the thought of dating in sobriety. The main reason for this fear was that Aaron thought that everybody drank and he just didn't want to be around drinking people early on. After a little bit of time, Aaron realized that most people don't drink like he used to. The first person he dated was not in the fellowship and was a very light drinker. Aaron didn't think it to be appropriate or "ethical" to date new people in the fellowship.
When Chris came into the program, Chris was married. Initially, the program helped his marriage and she was supportive of his involvement in the fellowship. However, Chris did stay at home with the kids for functions that included drinking when they would have gone as a couple.
Joe along with Aaron shared their reservations of dating people inside the fellowship; mainly because of their observations that it doesn't work very well. Joe shared about fear of dating someone who may relapse during the relationship. The panel also shared about the suggested "no relationships for a year" rule.

Recovered 382 Show Notes – Hitting Bottom
Mark, Joe, Spencer, and Russ discuss our recovery topic: Hitting Bottom
Hitting Bottom is that moment when life has become so painful that recovery is made possible.
During the Interview Segment, we talked to Bob, Kyle, and Liz about the Recovery Topic: Hitting Bottom
Helen Sponsored our show tonight by making a generous contribution to the show by using the paypal donation button on the site. THANK YOU HELEN! Helen, an Al-Anon, also emailed us and we shared her thoughts.
Lisa from Illinois called in and let us know she nominated this podcast as best in Life and Fitness for the annual Podcast Awards. You can do this too at
Lisa shared her thoughts regarding last week's topic: expectations. Thank you Lisa.
Regarding our recovery topic, Joe started the show off by telling us about his one year long approach to his bottom. The decline began with a failed suicide attempt, a secrete he kept until doing his 5th step.
Spencer, an Al-Anon, shared that Al-anons also have bottoms which helps them to reach out for help. Spencer described his bottom in terms of when his loved one confessed to him that they didn't think they could live sober. The realization that his loved one may not get recovery lead to a feeling of despair and loneliness, similar feelings as Joe shared.
Russ shared that he could relate to both Joe and Spencer's stories. Russ has a moment of clarity when he read his Physician's medical notes and the said that Russ was a CHRONIC alcoholic. That category gave him a moment of pause that lead him to recovery.
Recovered 381 Show Notes – Expectations

Mark, Russ and Aaron discuss the Recovery Topic Expectations
High expectation are premeditated resentments while low expectations are premeditated disappointments.
This topic was suggested by listener Liz from Louisiana. Thanks Liz.
Tonight, the following people were interviewed:
Liz, who has less than one year of sobriety and is working on her 4th step, and is finding that she is trying to figure out what is a reasonable expectation.
Russ applauded Liz regarding her ability to have introspection and discover that expectations are a problem. Russ suggested that the third step prayer as shown in the Big Book be done before the 4th step is attempted. Russ shared that he had lots of expectations early in his sobriety which resulted in frustration.
Aaron also related with similar feelings regarding expectations early in sobriety. Aaron remembered that he was warned to watch expectations because they lead to resentments.
Russ and Aaron used the fellowship, the sponsor, and steps 2, 4, 5, and especially 10 to deal with expectations and to try to determine reasonable expectations. Unreasonably high expectations is like going to the hardware store for a loaf of bread. We need to figure out what our loved ones are able to do and resist the temptation to expect more than they are able. If I need recovery support and encouragement, I need to go to people who are able to give it.


This silent film frequently pops up as one of Charlie Chaplin's best films, and one that kids love because there is no dialogue to have to follow. However, it is rather long. Most old comedies have some good routines during the film, but they try too hard to tie in a story around those routines. It's much more enjoyable to fast-forward to the next fun scene. The scene in the trailer is one of the good ones, you might recognize Johnny Depp's imitation of it in Benny and Joon, another good show.
Like Marx Brothers, nothing here other than good wholesome entertainment for the entire family.

House Democratic Leader David J. Toscano (D-Charlottesville/Albemarle) today announced a proposed change in state law to address emergencies that prevent citizens attempting to register to vote from doing so in time of emergency. The proposed law would allow the State Board of Elections to extend the registration period for seven days in the event of an emergency.
In Florida, the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew made it impossible for some citizens to register within the time period set by state law. Since that state's law did not permit the extension of the registration period, a lawsuit was filed, which led to the registration period being extended. Last week, hundreds of Virginians attempted to register in Virginia by the deadline, but were prevented from doing so because the registration website either slowed to a point that the registrations were not received by the deadline. A federal court judge, in response to a lawsuit, extended the time period for registration until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, October 21, 2016.
State law closes registration 21 days in advance of election with no exceptions.

Jonathan Demme, Presente!
Apr 26, 2017 | General
The news of Jonathan Demme's death this Wednesday came as a tremendous shock to me and my Fellowship of Reconciliation colleagues. Today we are in collective mourning at the untimely loss of this friend and fellow peacemaker.
His creative genius inspired everyone, but there was a special and unique connection between the Fellowship and Jonathan Demme — our FOR staff had been privileged to work alongside him. Jonathan lived part-time in Nyack for many years, just blocks from Shadowcliff, FOR's headquarters. Building on a lengthy period of relationship-building and mutual respect, he opened an office at Shadowcliff a decade ago.
In the years since, Jonathan was joined by numerous editors, producers, and administrators of his Clinica Estetico film company in sharing space with our national FOR staff. I vividly recall the earliest days of this collaborative relationship, when Jonathan's team worked to edit footage from post-Katrina New Orleans into the documentary series that launched in 2007, Right to Return: New Home Movies from the Lower 9th Ward. His lead assistant editor worked long days and nights in a small closet-like room, next to Shadowcliff's long-defunct elevator shaft, just below my then-office. Simultaneously in another room, other members of Demme's team put finishing touches on the excellent Jimmy Carter: Man from Plains, which brought new attention to the former president's continuing work for human rights.
Three years later, in the wake of another massive environmental disaster — the 2010 earthquake that destroyed much of Haiti — Jonathan responded again with his gifts of time, talent, and treasure. A long-time friend of the Haitian people, Jonathan took many actions in response to this global tragedy.
One effort was a collaboration with FOR on a fundraiser to support the humanitarian response: initially offering one painting from his collection of Haitian artists, and then dramatically increasing the donation to 40 works of art for auction. Mary Heckler, former FOR Peace House Host, noted how significant his contribution was to the success of the fundraiser: "[T]he money raised helped both an orphanage and an elementary school get back on their feet and up and running."
Almost everyone in the Fellowship, like the wider U.S. society, has been influenced by Jonathan's extraordinary body of work. From his renowned blockbusters Philadelphiaand Silence of the Lambs to his lesser-known projects, such as Beloved, Swing Shift, and Married to the Mob, to his groundbreaking films like Stop Making Sense and Swimming to Cambodia — each of us has felt the impact of Mr. Demme's ouevre.
For me, it has been Jonathan's 2008 Rachel Getting Married that has reverberated. This intimate, character-driven masterpiece touched my spouse and I when we saw it in a Hudson Valley cinema that fall. We were struck by its poignant depiction of family dysfunction. As a biracial couple who both grew up in multiracial families, we were especially moved by its unstated commitment to a multiracial present and future.
This was particularly effected through its main storyline, the marriage of a white woman and black man, played by Rosemary DeWitt and Tunde Adebimpe, but also that of the bride's father, Bill Irwin, and his second wife, the renowned African-American actress Anna Deavere Smith. Without a text centered on racial justice, we found that Rachel Getting Married nevertheless managed to convey a commitment to resisting whiteness as an operating assumption and prioritized value. A favorite scene of mine from the film is a spontaneous "dishwasher loading contest" that initiates between the groom and the father of the bride. Mr. Demme had a gift for creating captivating storylines out of both the mundane and the historic.
As an Episcopal peacemaker, I would be remiss if I did not also highlight Jonathan's 1992 documentary, Cousin Bobby, profiling the Rev. Robert Castle, an Episcopal priest in Harlem who was an outspoken justice activist. Castle and Demme were cousins, and this documentary offered a personal portrayal of an iconoclastic religious figure who steadfastly pushed the church, and wider society, to live out its commitments to human rights and dignity. Castle died in 2012, and was remembered by Demme in this reflection on PBS's blog. (Serendipitously, this coming Sunday, during my first trip to New York in eight months, I will attend a memorial service at Castle's former congregation, St. Mary's Church, Manhattanville — my parish during my first years at FOR.)
No matter how large or small one's connection to FOR's quiet neighbor may have been, we were all deeply touched by Jonathan's warmth, everpresent smile, and clear commitment to justice, peace, and nonviolent social change. The Fellowship is devatasted by his passing, and together we proclaim a resounding "Presente" for this soulful visionary whose life and legacy have profoundly served and shaped the Beloved Community.

Increasing Tension Between USA & Russia?? Red Flag or not??
Has anyone seen anything that may support observations appearing on YouTube that USA & Russia are positioning for direct or indirect conflict??
I have more concerns at the moment from aggressive direct and indirect taxations coming from governments - federal & provincial. That I know will have negative effects against my family.
So, anyone keeping their thumb on the pulse of world current events?? Troop movements?? Buildup training?? Stockpile of supplies going onto bases?? I would be interested to hear your feedback, observations, and even your opinions.
Re: Increasing Tension Between USA & Russia?? Red Flag or not??
It is not just Russia. The tension is growing by day and all it takes just one spark. Iran is firing at US war ships. Hillary is already threatening China with missiles. Even in USA the situation is very fragile. Be ready.
I said in spring or summer we nave month not years and I still stand by it . I t goes down hill so fast it is impossible to stop it.
What we hear or see on TV is just the CRAP for people not to panic. When I talk to people on the street or my neighbors , they have no idea what is going on and they do not care as long as they have baseball or football.
They are the ones I am scared of.
Is it possible that the Global Elitists are soooo scared to lose power they will once again distract the entire population on this planet again for their own advancement by creating a world war?? I believe that is possible. And, as Henry has observed, the majority of the people have no clue they are about to be played. I think there is a reduction in nationalism, so causing a nationalistic based war will not likely work on its own. We do know our community of emergency preparedness aware citizens do not seek a single world government and the chains of slavery that are likely attached to such a monolithic system. Most situationally aware citizens, the world over, just want to be left alone by all levels of government. Most people want the least amount of taxation that is necessary to operate a country effectively, but not over-taxation that suppresses the citizens from the freedom to enjoy life, by removing the citizen's personal source of financial resources.
I do not like those who use fear mongering to manipulate the masses, on the other hand I do not want to be caught with my pants down just as the crisis begins. These are the days for all in our community to ensure they are still working towards self-sufficiency and being as prepared as possible for all threats that may impact our individual or collective ways of life.
I hope I am wrong, but I have very bad feeling about the whole situation right now. It is not the direct nuclear attack, but CYBER ATTACK, OR MAN MADE EMP.
I have watched and lessened many shows how the "GLOBAL ELITES" are preparing for it, because it is just a matter of time.
preppers to discuss some things. Especially purchasing some stuff.
You again are posting great advice. Yes, I believe it is safe to say all "chatter" by those who want to be prepared for natural disasters and man-made crises is being monitored. I would not expect any sort of privacy on the internet these days.
Next to personal firearms ownership, it would appear the next biggest agenda item for the united nations is to limit/control freedom of information/speech. These are challenging days indeed.
If you do a little digging you will find that the Russians are expanding the numbers of their northern (Arctic) naval bases. They are also building new and improved combatant ships, both surface and submarines. These are head and shoulders above what they fielded in the cold war and according to US sources are much more difficult to track. Most people are Euro or North American centric and see the world based on what maps look like. What many do not see is the polar view. Russia is rebuilding and equipping Arctic bases and manning them (http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-equipped-six-military-bases-in-the-arctic-2015-12) (http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/the-russian-navy-report-you-missed-need-read-now-14659) Meanwhile Little Potato hands money out like candy to further his personal UN agenda and pays no attention to Canadian Arctic sovereignty and military capability. Add to that the recent attitude shift in the Phillipines, that has them moving away from the US and making moves to embrace China more closely. There is a global shift afoot and only in time will we see what will happen when the music stops.
Good observations. The North has frequently been over-looked. As you noted our Russian friends are gearing up, but unlike the Cold War they are not preparing to come out in second place. I hope the Canadian Rangers get their new .308 rifles, that may be our best defence......that and a very cold winter.
Well, with Trump winning the election down South....I guess Putin will not need to nuke Hillary. Phew!! That was close.
For some reason I am not worried about Russia, but about the situation inside USA and Europe.
Somebody is trying very hard to start something big. Somebody is behind the unrest, disorder and hate that is spreading real fast.
Add the situation in the Middle East and you have perfect condition for big BOOM.
Henry, I agree with your thoughts. When the Left, the so called progressives had the lead over things all was well. The right quietly waited and tolerated. Now that the right seems to be re emerging as a power, the Left is in fear mode and actively sowing hate and discord. For an ideology that was supposedly based on acceptance, tolerance and inclusion they are suddenly VERY intolerant, non accepting and exclusive. They can't move beyond their methodology of labels, name calling and demeaning those who think differently than themselves. They have seemingly no room for discussion or compromise. They only want what they want and believe they alone can be correct and somehow deserve to be believed and followed. A bunch of spoiled children who believe their own propaganda. Interesting times certainly. Who indeed is behind the unrest? Look no further than the wealthy Liberal elite and you will have your answer. For them democracy is wonderful and correct, until it no longer serves their purpose. Then it becomes problematic. THEY are the true fascists who have fooled the people for too long. In the end the truth will always out. We are finally seeing that.


A full-time postdoctoral fellow position is currently available in the group. The position involves performing independent studies with cell, molecular biology and animal models. The candidates will be expected to contribute to preparation of scientific manuscripts and help with mentoring under- and graduate students as well as clinical and clinical fellows in our lab.


I kind of like the look of the type 63 rifle and a goal is to eventually make a semi-auto ATFE legal one for my self.
It really has a nice look to it.
These last 4 photos were pulled from the internet.
So I have had a quest for the last 15 years or so to obtain type 63 parts. Not the easiest task. This last week I was able to obtain a few more parts for the type 63 Chinese rifle.
More then enough top covers. Interesting that there were two different upper hand guard designs. I still need to make some more recoil spring brackets.
I have enough front hand guard sheet metal pieces as well as gas pistons and locking pins.
Sks bayonets and springs and latch mechanism. The bayonets need to be re-ground and shortened but will work. I am going to cut off the latch mechanism on the sks and weld on a type 63 mechanism.
I have 2 stocks and a stock duplicator. I can make the rest of the stocks I need.
A great little piece of a cut off end of a type 63 barrel. I will have solid models of both of these parts soon.
A close up of the type 63 lock up and the sks lock up on the bayonet lug.
This is a Chinese folding bayonet for the AK-47. This is still available even if it is quite expensive. I will order one this next week to have to use as a pattern.
A view of the gas block,rear sight base and gas system, this one is missing the gas tube. I do have 2 gas tubes to use as patterns.
I am hoping that one of the readers of this happens to know of or own a type 63 and can take me some detailed pictures of the receiver of the rifle, hopefully with some basic measurements. I could also use some pictures of the gas block with measurements. With any luck I will be going to England this summer and have an opportunity to look at one at the pattern room.
This will be a project in the future.
Omega weapons systems Has parts listed for type 63/68 Select Fire listed. Hope it helps.
I have know Don for over 2 decades. I was at his place buying the parts. He does not have much left for the type 63.
I have a type 63 rifle – send me an email if you still need measurements or photos from it.
Many hundreds of Chicom Type 68 rifles were imported (as semi-auto Type 63s) into and sold in Australia during the '80s. All the ones I saw were Chinese arsenal-converted to semi-auto only, stamped receiver Type 68s, the forward position of the fire-selector switch being used as a second safety detent for the selector lever. All had the 20-round magazines of the 68s, with or without the Chicom 5-pointed star stamped on, never saw any 63 pattern 15-rouñd ones.
The rifles were okay, unless you found one that had been sold in Victoria: page 210 of Ezell's Small Arms Of The World has a photo misidentifying the fire-interuptor as the automatic sear, so the Victorian cops ordered all guns have the so-called auto-sear cut off!
In the late 80s, Australian Customs began raiding gunshops and private owners of the rifles, seizing them as 'prohibited imports', with zero compensation paid. One gundealer had an entire shipping container full seized, they refused to allow the guns to be re-exported, all destroyed! At the time, only Tasmania, Queensland and the Northern Territory did not have official gun registration in place, so the only guns to escape destruction were ones that had been on-sold by the prior owners. It did not stop the federal and state thugs from threatening people, but hey, what can you do after selling to some bloke at the range? Those were the days!
Americans, never accept any type of gun registration: it always leads to confiscation! Roosevelt really screwed you people in 1934.
I was wondering if this project was still active?
Is this project still moving forward? Also, are type 56 and type 63/68 parts interchangeable? I a, considering a possible type 63/68 build.

A Movie Review by Mike Tooney: MIRAGE (1965).
Posted by Steve under Mystery movies , Reviews
REVIEWED BY MIKE TOONEY:
MIRAGE. Released: July 7, 1965. Running time: 109 minutes. Cast: Gregory Peck (David Stillwell), Diane Baker (Shela), Walter Matthau (Ted Caselle), Kevin McCarthy (Josephson), Jack Weston (Lester), Leif Erickson (Crawford Gilcuddy), George Kennedy (Willard), Robert H. Harris (Dr. Broden), Anne Seymour (Frances Calvin), House B. Jameson (Bo), Hari Rhodes (Lt. Franken), Neil Fitzgerald (Joe Turtle). Producer: Harry Keller. Writers: Peter Stone (screenplay) and Howard Fast (uncredited; based on his 1952 novel Fallen Angel, as by Walter Ericson). Director: Edward Dmytryk.
David Stillwell has managed to do the impossible, at least according to a nervous psychologist who presumably knows about these things: While David has spent the last two years living and working in New York, he has absolutely no memory of any of it. "Impossible!" says the shrink that he has desperately sought out; amnesia can last, at most, maybe two months — not two years!
But when a nervous pro-wrestling-addicted schmo practically kidnaps him in his apartment, and a big plug ugly starts taking shots at him in the park, and people he knows — or thought he knew well — either wind up dead or are plotting to kill him, it occurs to David Stillwell that he will have to retrieve his lost memories — and fast! Unknown to him, buried deeply in his subconscious is the knowledge of something — and this is no exaggeration — that could completely change the world forever . . . .
There are a lot of twists and turns in this movie, too many to detail, but it zips along at a good pace. By telling the story in a nonlinear way with lots of flashbacks that at first don't make much sense, the viewer is kept as much in the dark as the main character about just what the heck is going on. The writers lean heavily on Gregory Peck's amiable charisma to keep the audience sympathetically engaged in his nightmare.
The production also makes full use of late autumn scenes in New York's streets and Central Park, and although the film is a full-length theatrical release, it seems wise for them to shoot it in muted black and white in order to give it a noirish feel.
The aforementioned "nervous psychologist" is played by Robert H. Harris, one of those familiar faces from mainly '50s and '60s network TV that you might have trouble attaching a name to. The IMDb awards Harris 130 credits, including a long run in The Goldbergs (51 episodes), Erle Stanley Gardner's The Court of Last Resort (23 episodes), Alfred Hitchcock Presents (8 episodes), Perry Mason (7 episodes), with sporadic appearances in dozens of shows and movies as late as The Six Million Dollar Man in 1977.
PostScript: The one copy of Fallen Angel currently on AbeBooks has an asking price of $3500.

Me, I thought Walter Matthau was the star of the movie. (Well, almost. Gregory Peck is awfully good.)
My review of the movie is here:
https://mysteryfile.com/blog/?p=9573
And Mike Nevins' review of both the book and the movie is here:
https://mysteryfile.com/blog/?p=15682
The director of MURDER, MY SWEET back in form! Harris was also memorable as the made makeup artist in HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER, and the loathsome firebug in THE BIG CAPER.
Neeru Says:
I am with you, Steve regarding Walter Matthau. Very impressive performance. The weak link, to my mind, was Diane Baker who didn't know whether to play Shela as a femme fatale or poor-little-girl. Her self-pity was intolerable!
Swell review. This is one of my all-time favorite flicks. It's a corker of a yarn; a doozy of a thriller; and a quintessential "New York movie" with memorable glimpses of the big city.
The summary above aptly picks out the fun aspect in the suspenseful plot, (wherein) much of the time, we're just as disoriented as Peck's character is. There's several bits of playfully existentialist dialogue as Peck tries to figure out who he is.
But yes Matthau practically steals the movie as the dry PI enlisted to help. I've previously gone on record stating what I feel about Walter Matthau. I rank him –for his era–as the equivalent of Stewart, Tracy, Fonda or Frederic March in their heyday.
The guy can play any role: slimy villain or hapless stooge, heavy or weakling. Comedy, drama, even romance. Young Matthau's career is especially studded with gems. 'Charade', 'Mirage', Fail-Safe', on and on and on.
Michael Gray Says:
Interestingly enough, MIRAGE proved to be timely. If you check the release date of the film (July 7, 1965) against the Great Northeast Blackout (November 9, 1965), you just might have a valid case of life imitating art. Details in Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_1965
Nifty, that..
Peck's character –his predicament –also reminds me a bit of the low-budget cult horror classic, 'Carnival of Souls'
Though this one fails a bit on the making total sense scale it is so stylishly done it doesn't matter, and Matthau is superb as the private eye.
It's notable that Peter Stone, who would shortly write CHARADE, seems to to borrowed some of the atmosphere of this film for that classic and its general air of incomprehensible mystery (ironically Matthau is in the latter too as is George Kennedy and probably not by coincidence).
I love this film. It is stylish, well acted (nods to Leif Ericson and Keven McCarthy too) with a clear Hitchcockian feel to it.
Many of Howard Fast's E. V. Cunningham novels had something of the feel of this often turning on a protagonist out of their depth and uncertain what comes next.
The novel was slender, taut, and like the film hardly gave you time to worry about some of the more contrived plot elements.
This was closely remade as JIGSAW (made for television I think). I recall Harry Guardino in the cast but not much else.
Barry Lane Says:
Regarding Charade — it was already in the past. This project was intended for Cary Grant, but it was a pass.
Then I suppose CHARADE may have contributed to Matthau and Kennedy in this one. It's a coincidence either way with Stone's involvement.
I believe by design.
Kevin McCarthy, noted above –a face well known to any film buff –one of those stalwart supporting stars like William Windom or Robert Webber. So often adroit, just as he is here, playing a henchman uncertain of his conscience. Unsure as to where his ideals and loyalties lie. It all comes to the fore at the film's climax. Which way will he bounce under Peck's prodding? It's the crux of the flick, and slickly handled.
Something which adds interest to the movie's finale (for me, anyway) is the startling, anti-capitalist message latent in the comeuppance of the bad guy. It's not just the industrialist kingpin who winds up indicted in the film's dialogue. The screenplay sinks a fang into the whole business-as-usual mindset so characteristic of New York.
It's icy stuff.
Quite a point.
David Friend Says:
February 1st, 2022 at 7:05 am
I loved Charade and Arabesque from Peter Stone, so it's really about time I saw this.

I can't wait any longer for someone to leave Comment #14.

Early 2000s Creative Loafing paper[1]
Creative Loafing is an Atlanta-based publisher of a monthly arts and culture newspaper/magazine. The company publishes a 60,000 circulation monthly publication which is distributed to in-town locations and neighborhoods on the first Thursday of each month. The company has historically been a part of the alternative weekly newspapers association in the United States.
Creative Loafing began as a family-owned business in 1972 by Deborah and Chick Eason, expanding to other cities in the Southern United States in the late 1980s and 1990s. In 2007 it doubled its circulation with the purchase of the Chicago Reader and Washington City Paper; the $40 million debt it incurred, along with an economic recession, forced the company into bankruptcy one year later. The parent company, Creative Loafing, Inc. was dissolved and Atalaya sold off the Chicago Reader. In 2012, SouthComm purchased all of the properties and then sold off each of the papers to other publishers in 2018.
The Atlanta Creative Loafing launched the career of many writers and has been an institution in Atlanta's cultural scene. The Parrotheads of Jimmy Buffett fame were launched from an ad in Creative Loafing in the 1990s. Best-selling author and American humorist Hollis Gillespie by debuting her weekly column "Moodswing," which first appeared in 2001 and ran for eight years. Jill Hannity, the wife of Sean Hannity, was the managing editor of the newspaper 1993–1996 until their move to New York City, which commenced Sean Hannity's television career.

Creative Loafing Greenville of Greenville, South Carolina, sold in 2001 to Debby Eason, renamed MetroBEAT, folded in 2005[7]
Creative Loafing Savannah of Savannah, Georgia, sold in 2001 to Debby Eason, merged into Connect Savannah[8]
Gwinnett Loaf in north suburban Atlanta, Georgia, closed in April 2001[9]
The Scene nightlife weekly of Atlanta, Georgia, closed in March 2001[9]
The Spectator of Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, 1997–2002,[10] sold to Independent Weekly[11]
Topside Loaf in north suburban Atlanta, Georgia, closed in April 2001[9]
Early years in Atlanta[edit]
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2012)
Deborah Eason, a photographer for Delta Air Lines, and Elton "Chick" Eason, a math professor at Georgia State University, founded Creative Loafing Atlanta in 1972 after the couple attended a 25-attendee Georgia State University lecture by a visiting Russian scholar. This, and other poorly attended events, convinced them to start Creative Loafing Atlanta to inform the public about all of the city's cultural happenings—festivals, concerts, Wicca meetings.[12] They originally began publishing it from the basement of their home in the Morningside neighborhood of Atlanta.[13] After a trial run of a monthly magazine called P-s-s-t . . . A Guide to Creative Loafing in Atlanta, the Easons decided to launch a weekly free publication titled simply Creative Loafing. The four-person editorial staff operated out of the living and dining rooms of the Easons' Morningside home; the darkroom was in the basement. The print run of the first edition—all of eight pages—was 12,000 copies.[1]
Expansion in the South[edit]
Early 1970s copy of Creative Loafing[1]
Creative Loafing wasn't the first alternative weekly Atlanta had seen, but over the years, its size and ambitions crowded out competitors—The Great Speckled Bird; Poets, Artists & Madmen; The Sunday Paper.[1] After a decade and a half in Atlanta, the Easons established new Creative Loafing weeklies in March 1987 in Charlotte, North Carolina,[14] and in 1988 in Tampa, Florida.[13] Other expansions or acquisitions included newspapers in Greenville, South Carolina; Raleigh, North Carolina; and Savannah, Georgia. The company also expanded its footprint in the Atlanta area, starting two community weeklies, Gwinnett Loaf and Topside Loaf, covering the suburbs north of the city in Cobb, Gwinnett, southern Forsyth and northern Fulton counties. Bowing to reader complaints about racy advertisements in Creative Loafing Atlanta, the Easons established a separate Atlanta publication, The Scene, for nightlife listings. These three Atlanta-area publications would later be folded back into Creative Loafing Atlanta in 2001.[9]
By July 2007, Creative Loafing became a mini-empire with four papers in three states and purchased two heralded alt-weeklies—the Chicago Reader and the Washington City Paper—and The Straight Dope, a longtime Reader-syndicated column by Cecil Adams.[1]
Sale to Eason Children[edit]
Ben Eason, son of Deborah and Elton, purchased the Tampa paper from his parents in 1994 and changed its name to the Weekly Planet. In 1998 he expanded the paper and launched a second Weekly Planet in Sarasota, Florida.[15]
Two years later, in September 2000, he and his two sisters led a group of investors to purchase a controlling interest in the entire Creative Loafing chain, and subsequently brought the Planet papers into the fold. After a false start during which the May 31, 2006, edition of Tampa's Planet was prematurely published with a Creative Loafing banner, the Tampa paper officially reverted to its former name and the Sarasota paper became Creative Loafing Sarasota.[15]
Shortly after the sale, Debby Eason purchased Creative Loafing's Greenville and Savannah properties back from her children. The Greenville paper was renamed MetroBEAT, while Creative Loafing Savannah was merged into Connect Savannah.[8]
Partnership with Cox[edit]
To help finance the 2000 deal transferring ownership to Ben Eason's group, media conglomerate Cox Enterprises purchased a 25% minority share of the company for approximately US$5 million. In the process, Cox executives filled two seats on Creative Loafing's eight-member board.[16] An uneasy four-year relationship between the two companies followed, as Cox also owned Atlanta's only daily, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, as well as television and radio outlets in the Atlanta area. After the Journal-Constitution in April 2003 quietly launched its own free entertainment weekly named Access Atlanta, in direct competition with Creative Loafing, the Easons and Creative Loafing board members voted to censure the two Cox executives for unethical conduct, and by June 2004 both companies agreed to allow the chain to repurchase its shares from Cox.[17][18]
Chicago and Washington[edit]
On July 24, 2007, Creative Loafing announced the purchase of the Washington City Paper and the Chicago Reader,[19] along with the Reader's properties The Straight Dope and the SDMB, the associated Internet message board.
In order to accomplish the acquisitions, the company borrowed $40 million. The ensuing economic slump hurt ad sales, and CL Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on September 29, 2008.[20]
In a bankruptcy auction on August 25, 2009, Atalaya Capital Management of New York City, emerged as the new owner, paying $5 million (it was also CL's largest creditor, owed $30 million before the bankruptcy). The Easons had put in a bid of $2.3 million, and with the change in ownership, Ben Eason was removed as CEO.[20]
Dissolution[edit]
Over the next two years, 2010-2011, Atalaya sold Creative Loafing's remaining mid-market papers. The first to be sold was Creative Loafing Sarasota, which was shuttered in December 2010, with its brand sold for an undisclosed sum to The New York Times Company, then-publisher of the competing Sarasota Herald-Tribune. The Herald-Tribune published its own free weekly product under the Creative Loafing name for some time after the sale.[6]
In October 2011, Creative Loafing Charlotte and Creative Loafing Tampa were sold to SouthComm Inc., a publisher of alternative weeklies based in Nashville, Tennessee.[4]
Creative Loafing's three largest newspapers continued under Atalaya's ownership for one more year. In May 2012, the Chicago Reader was sold to Wrapports, publisher of the competing Chicago Sun-Times, in a deal reported at $3 million.[3] Two months later, on July 3, Creative Loafing Atlanta and the Washington City Paper were sold to SouthComm, for an undisclosed sum, and CL Inc. ceased to exist.[2]
In 2016, the Charlotte Creative Loafing was sold to Womack Publishing of North Carolina. In 2018, the Charlotte Creative Loafing was sold again and ceased publishing a print version.[21]
In February, 2017, Ben Eason re-purchased Creative Loafing in Atlanta and took the publication from a weekly to a monthly as part of a plan to take the company in a direction more compatible to the new digital publishing economy.
The Creative Loafing in Tampa, Florida, was sold to a group from Ohio in 2018.

I visited the Romantische Waldweinacht in Trippstadt earlier in December. Hosted by the Haus der Nachhaltigkeit (House of Sustainability, which seems similar in idea to a nature center), it's probably one of my favorite Christmas markets and I gladly planned a trip C+K and their friend M. We met at the Kaiserslautern train station and hopped on the bus that was marked for Johanniskreuz, the area where the market is held. We knew that it would be utter foolishness and a load of stress to attempt to drive there because the forest roads are already narrow and there is extremely limited parking during the event.
This year, I suggested that we try to arrive earlier. In previous years, we arrived when it was dark out and didn't have as much time as we would have liked. This year, we arrived at 2:30 p.m. It was so different to be at the market during the daytime! I think that there was a different layout too, so it made my third year there a little bit disorienting. Next year I would plan to arrive and stay a bit later since it's even more magical when it's dark and the grounds are lit by campfires.
We started by sampling some organic Glühwein. I think it tastes so much better than the regular stuff and this market has plenty of it -- usually directly from the vintners themselves, and I can't bring myself to drink non-organic Glühwein any more. We bought from two separate vendors; mine was less sweet than C's serving but both were quite good.
The next order of business was to find something to eat. My plan is usually to survey all the offerings and then decide. This particular market is great for those wanting to sample regional Palatinate specialties, which are, to put it simply, pretty much meat, meat, and wine. There was even Saumagen, which is pretty much the meatiest of the meat, and what Helmut Kohl used to torment introduce visiting dignitaries to the local cuisine. K, M, and I eventually decided on Kastanienwurst, which is a sausage that has chestnuts cooked inside. C chose Feuerwurst (literally, "fire sausage") and just about set his hair on fire (figuratively) with how spicy it was. Usually German food isn't very hot but this one was crazy spicy.
There was some entertainment options too. During our visit we listened to the brass band. There was also a pony ride vendor. Well, they were miniature horses, which are even smaller than ponies are, so they are suitable for small children only.
We also browsed the goods for sale from the vendors who set up both outside and inside of the reception center. Goods are handmade and include things like wooden kitchen accessories, hand lotions, Christmas decorations, foods, photographs, jewelry, and more. One of my favorite booths was the miniature book maker. He posted sweet messages around his booth with quotes (in German) like "pictures allowed," "questions allowed," "buying allowed." The books are really neat; most are fewer than two inches big and include text (though I'm guessing it's just an excerpt of the book). Maybe I should have bought one; they were reasonably priced at 4 euros or so.
Finishing up our trip to the Christmas market, we visited the roof of the Haus and took some pictures and then waited a bit and took the next bus home. By the time we left, it had gotten dark but we were leaving before the fire dancers started. Next year, I plan to give myself about 2.5 hours to visit but will arrive later when it's closer to nightfall to both catch the entertainment and to experience the coziness of the glowing fires in the dark.
