A lot of changes have been made in the native garden. We will look back at the native garden before it was conceived, the Seeds of Change transformation and its current state.
The first two images show the space before the transformation. The area was covered with invasive plants and it was an eyesore on campus.
With the help of Marcos from Tree People, Seeds of Change restored the area to its previous natural state with drought-tolerant California Native Plants. Wood mulch was laid down to reduce competition from invasive plants and reduce erosion.
The native garden has been transformed in the last year and it is thriving. The Hummingbird Sage is blooming, the California Buckwheat has gone dormant and the California Wild Grape is vigorous.
It is amazing to watch the native garden change from season to season. It is never static and there is always something new to see. Summer is coming to a close and Fall is just around the corner.


reduce about 10cm. so the pillow size is about 115*55cm (L*W).
the pillow will be almost recovered to original size. hope understand!
Because it is manual building materials, size allows the existence of about 5cm error, please don't mind it. thanks!

Dickens and the Foundling
Around London – Dickens and the foundlings; astronomy photographs at the Royal Observatory; Royal Parks allotments; and, Asian drinking vessels at the British Museum…
by exploringlondon September 27, 2012
• A new exhibition exploring the relationship between author Charles Dickens, the Foundling Hospital and its secretary and former foundling, John Brownlow, opened at the Foundling Museum today. Received, a Blank Child: Dickens, Brownlow and the Foundling Hospital looks at how Dickens supported the institution in various ways including helping a young mother petition for a place for her child and publicising the work of the hospital through his writing – in particular the 1853 article Received, A Blank Child (the phrase comes from the wording used on the hospital's entry forms). Among the items on display are never before displayed letters from Dickens relating to the hospital. The exhibition, which runs until 16th December, is free with the museum admission. And if you haven't yet had a chance to see it, there's still time to catch Dickens and the Foundling, in which six contributors including actor Gillian Anderson and journalist Jon Snow, have chosen objects to be displayed. This ends on 28th October. For more, see www.foundlingmuseum.org.uk.
• Images from the Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition have gone on display at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich (which runs the competition in conjunction with Sky at Night Magazine). Among the winning images were The Whirlpool Galaxy taken by Martin Pugh of the UK/Australia, Star Icefall by Masahiro Miyasaka of Japan, and Venus-Jupiter Close Conjunction, by Laurent Laveder of France. The exhibition is free of charge and runs until February next year. For more (including an online gallery), see www.rmg.co.uk/visit/exhibitions/astronomy-photographer-of-the-year/2012-winners/.
• It's Harvest Festival time at London's Royal Parks and this Sunday, between 11am and 4pm, people are invited to attend the Kensington Gardens' allotment to see the fruits of the gardeners' labour including the "big dig" of the potato crop as well as seasonal vegetables. There's also the chance for families to see the allotment chickens being fed and children's activities run by Ginger Cat. This week's event follows one last weekend at Regent's Park. For more, see www.royalparks.org.uk.
• On Now: Ritual and revelry: the art of drinking in Asia. This new free exhibition in room 91 of the British Museum features a display of objects which have been used in the consumption of liquids in various Asian contexts and the manner in which their use is intertwined with ritual, religious and otherwise. Among the vessels on display is a Tibetan skull-cap known as a kapala which is made from a human skull and used in religious rituals as well as a silver tea set from western India which features handles shaped like bamboo stems and a lacquered wooden sake bottle which was used as an altar piece. Runs until 6th January. For more, see www.britishmuseum.org.

The exhibition will also look at how the war affected Beaton personally including his own brushes with death including in a major air crash and suffering from the likes of dengue fever and dysentery. Admission charge applies. Runs until 1st January. For more, see www.iwm.org.uk.

American Theater Wing Spring Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street
Tony nominees Linda Lavin, Chad Kimball, Montego Glover, Valeria Harper, Jan Maxwell, Stephen Kunkel, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Katie Finneran were among those walking the red carpet at Cipriani 42nd Street Monday night along with others of the theater community: Harry Connick, Jr., Tommy Tune, Liz Smith, Phyllis Newman, Pia Lindstrom, Jimmy Nederlander. The occasion: the annual American Theater Wing gala, celebrating the work of composer Frank Loesser, a prelude to the big Tony night coming up this Sunday.
Here is a glimpse of this tribute, a big night on its own: Memphis's Montego Glover said no to canapés, slight in a yellow gown, while her co-star Chad Kimball spoke laughingly of the wear and tear on his body in the demanding role as the young white D.J. who falls in love with the Memphis sound, and the black girl who performs the music like no other. Stephen McKinley Henderson, quietly forceful as Denzel Washington's best friend in Fences. Jan Maxwell, hilarious in the bedroom farce Lend Me a Tenor complained of being asked the same questions by reporters. Or rather, had the same answers for reporters? Looped may have closed, but Valerie Harper is conveniently in town filming a movie, and Linda Lavin, lovely in an off the shoulder purple gown was pleased when I said I took her side in the play Collected Stories. "You're a writer, aren't you?" she said, knowing that her role as the older novelist whose life story is taken as material by her young assistant, resonates.
Praising Katie Finneran for her killer performance in Promises, Promises, I confessed I fell out of my chair. I love that, she said, I love the unpredictable ugly laugh. Glancing at her watch, "this real pro" disappeared before dinner because they had a performance making up for missing on Tony night. It was only 7:30, and Finneran was not to appear until the second act, leaving the rest of us to ponder, what does she do during Act I, while waiting to go on? Cornering the very tall Tommy Tune, I asked what his favorites were. "Next Fall for Best Original Play," he said, "because it made me think long after leaving the theater. And American Idiot for Best Musical, but those of us over 40 may need ear plugs."

Opel unveiled a stunning electric crossover strategy a several few days in the past. By introducing the Opel GT X Experimental the German car or truck manufacturer is seeking to clarify two issues: this "bold and pure" vehicle is in fact automaker's watch of the close to long run. The principle previews Opel's new design language that will grow to be offered with versions arriving in the mid-2020 and up.
The concept's purity has been signified with an electrical powertrain. As a result Opel demonstrates its desire in the strength. Nevertheless, the primary system is a bit different as the carmaker designs to electrify its finish lineup by 2024. Even while it's an EV, the carmaker did not want to reveal every thing regarding the method. They've mentioned that the vehicle functions a 50-kWh compact lithium-ion battery with inductive charging and absolutely nothing else.
As you can see, the exterior styling of the Opel GT X Experimental is certainly bold. The crossover will get 13.3 ft in duration, but that does not appear on the initial look thanks to the dynamic bodylines of the car or truck. Up entrance, the new confront hosts an desirable and daring grille and a pair of easy however actually incredible LED matrix headlights. These wing-shaped daytime working lamps are LED-treated also, although the Vizor also hosts a amount of cameras and sensors necessary for foreseeable future self-driving programs. Let us not ignore the attractive hood, which has been tastefully spiced up by a crease. The rear conclude has been totally simplified as the sleek-styled rear hatch attributes just a established of wing-formed taillights and a emblem below. Even while you in all probability imagine that the alloys rely up to 19 inches they are actually 17-inch. They offer an supplemental ease and comfort, however.
Within, the 2018 Opel GT X Experimental demonstrates how uncomplicated yet beautiful the cabin can be. The carmaker added just a vast screen which is named the Pure Panel and it is listed here to provide all the facts that the driver needs. In put of the classic facet mirrors the concept receives compact pop-out cameras, which is not a little something fully new, but it's really awesome, never you assume? The cabin surely appears to be roomier than it actually is many thanks to a great deal of daylight which is below thanks to a one panoramic roof panel blended with an uninterrupted aspect-window part.
Considering that Opel does not fake to establish thoroughly autonomous driving autos, they've introduced the Opel GT X Experimental paired with Amount 3 self-driving functions.

Medicare billing fraud is pervasive. It's estimated at $50 to $60 billion annually or approximately 10% of all of Medicare spending. While billing fraud is committed in numerous ways from never performed procedures to fake patient care, it's possibly no more prevalent than in home health care, an industry of 12,000 providers whom bill Medicare $18 billion annually. For example, a 2010 DHHS Office of the Inspector General report found one in every four home health agencies had unusually high billing. In one example, federal officials in 2012 arrested a Texas-based home health provider accusing him and his colleagues of running a $375 million home health scam.
During this 21 minute interview Sherill Mason defines home health, discusses how home health is reimbursed, how fraud or improper billing is committed via for example upcoding and over utilization, where, the prevalence of the problem, what CMS is doing to try to curb fraudulent behavior, rule making solutions and whistle blower (qui tam) suits.
Sherill Mason is currently Principal, Mason Advisors, where she provides strategic planning, program development and operations analysis for post acute care providers including senior living and nursing home facilities, home health, hospice, long term acute care hospitals, in patient rehabilitation facilities, and long term care pharmacy. Previously, Sherill she served as a Vice Presient to the Marwood Group, a healthcare industry consultant, as Senior Vice President at Sunrise Senior Living and as a Director at KPMG. Among other current professional activities Sherill currently is a Guest Lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. She received her RN diploma and training at the Englewood Hospital School Nursing and a BA in American Studies from Eckerd College.

We are five whole shows old now, that's one whole hand worth of fingers! It's been a week since the last time we smoked out but both Mat and I have been busy handling those pesky petitioners trying to repeal Initiative 148 (who didn't get the signatures they needed by a long shot from my understanding). Mat actually had the opportunity to "interview" one of them with his phone while they stood outside with a child trying to collect signatures. I had the amazing opportunity to have either the ballsiest or dumbest one in the world actually walk into my clinic… Yes, my MEDICAL MARIJUANA clinic, to ask for signatures. Then after being told to leave let me know she thought my place smelled bad. Way to be a grown up about this, two thumbs up. At least we're not fighting against smart people, it might make things more difficult. Now, on with the show!
This is the second rough draft recording of the Hot Box podcast. The next episode you see posted will be episode number one. We will be recording that live on Tuesday May 25th 2010. The show will start around 6pm PT / 9pm ET. You may join us and participate in the show live on the Live Shows page. You can also go to hotboxpodcast.com/live and it will take you to the same place.

Internet access, a few bucks in domain registration fees, an opinion and voilà – anyone can have their own little piece of cyberspace. But when Darrell Williams started TheLoop21.com in 2008, he brought 10 years of economic and financial know-how with him, adding a color other than green to the online financial community. Williams started TheLoop21.com to spark discussion about economic and fiscal policy in the black community, with hopes of adding that dialogue to the mainstream. We spoke to Williams about the way economic policy is covered in African-American media, the future of the black community during the recession, the role of online publishing in American media and the future of TheLoop21.com.
The Atlanta Post: How did you transition from economist to online media publisher? But more importantly, why did you make that career transition?
Darrell Williams: It really isn't a transition. I still do my economic consulting, but my interest in media publishing came from a desire to have an impact on the public discourse especially when it came to issues that impact communities of color and African Americans in particular. I had a business interest, but also a social motivation to have black media give a true and accurate perspective [about economic and fiscal policy] for the African American community. There's a void when it comes to talking about serious issues that matter.
TAP: And do you see TheLoop21.com accomplishing that?
DW: I think we're definitely making progress in that direction. I think the overall goal of elevating African American concerns and issues to a national platform is a big task and it won't happen over night or through one outlet, but it's a goal that's worth pursuing.
TAP: What do you think was missing from black media before you started TheLoop21, and what do you think is still missing now?
DW: I don't see it as a negative as what's missing. There's a lot of black media that's fantastic and serves a wonderful purpose. We need to be entertained and informed at the same time, but there's always room for more and different ways of looking at issues. There's not a limit on the variety of voices in the mainstream so there shouldn't be any limit in the black community. I think black media is maturing and we're part of that maturation process.
TAP: As an economist, what do you think is missing from the black community's education about money and financial literacy?
DW: There's two different things: to know and to practice. The knowledge is out there but the practice – people really understanding the long term value of practicing good financial literacy – is missing. The challenge is getting people to see the benefit from it. That means taking a more long term view in our community of how we define wealth and accomplishment. A lot of times, we define it as what we can have now, instead of real wealth and power that is created over time.


After the end of Reconstruction, states across the South adopted what became known as Jim Crow Laws. The first enacted in Tennessee was on January 7, 1881. Many of these laws were in effect into the 1960s. The Jim Crow Museum, which is in Big Rapids, Michigan, has collected the largest number of artifacts from the post-Reconstruction era through the Civil Rights era, and even beyond. Read through the questions of the month to read about black history where you will find discussions of many different topics as well as extensive bibliographies. Be sure to watch the lengthy video that takes you on a tour throughout the museum.

Following the Italian art history and the way the English language uses the term "baroque", the term can be used to refer to a deviation. In the history of Italian art, baroque art was criticized for deviating from the classics and therefore, the deviation made baroque and classicism become rivals. Classicism, on the other hand, is described as what the western civilizations aspire the most. Classicism is associated with perfection. In the history of art, some artworks were known to have been classical for example the Raphael paintings during the Renaissance period. Classicism also appeared again in the Poussin paints also called baroque classicism. The usage of the term classicism from the past is understood to have been used to refer to anything that is considered the best ever achieved in its industry (Lynnet et al. 15-20).
Contrasting Ecstasy of St. Teresa in the Marking of the West with the Discovery of Achilles on Skyros in the Making of the West
The Ecstasy of St. Theresa was designed and created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and the aim of the sculpture was to illustrate the vision of the saints in the life after death. St. Theresa had died and the Roman Catholic Church had declared her a saint in 1622. Thus, Bernini used art in the service of the Roman Catholic Church to make those on Earth to visualize what is religiously experienced after death. The beauty of the experience is depicted by the use of the rays of light that shine upon St. Theresa and the sculpture of an angel. The combination that Bernini uses in the sculpture is aimed at making the Catholics become emotional about the spiritual experience they get. In other words, the Church used the sculpture to inspire its members to be more closely connected to God. To other cultures like the Protestants, Bernini work is considered as a baroque and it is only classical to the Roman Catholics (Lynnet et al. 27-30).
Nicholas Poussin was one of the foreign artists that developed interests in the baroque artworks of the Italians. From what he learned in Italy, he designed and created a painting that revived classicism and that painting was the Discovery of Achilles on Skyros. The painting is considered classical since it represents the best method of differentiating a man disguised as a woman. Poussin depicts a story of how Achilles mother found it wise to save the life of her son that she thought would be lost if he went to war by making him disguise himself as a woman, and hides him with other two women in the Island of Skyros. When two Greeks learn about this, they disguise themselves as merchants of jewels in an effort to find Achilles in the Island. When they are there, the painting shows them how the different jewels attract the people they find there when they are presented to them and the people are – Achilles' mother, Achilles, and the two women. The two women are attracted to a mirror where one merchant seems to inform how much he is selling the mirror. Achilles seems to have been attracted by a sword, which he takes from the box of jewels, and he is seen drawing out the sword like a man would. Achilles' mother is surprised by her son's quick actions and so is the second merchant. Thus, Poisson's painting shows the drama that Achilles displays unknowingly by portraying his masculine behavior in public and his mother is surprised that Achilles is unable to hide his gender and so is the second merchant surprised at the woman that seems to have masculine characteristics. Poisson's painting is not criticized as Bernini's painting, as everyone understands and accepts the story depicted and that makes Poisson's painting classical (Lynnet et al. 50-54).

I was sitting in my classroom while students were working on their paintings and started this little composition of a cowboy riding in the mountains of the west. I was interested in trying to use multiple perspectives to portray the rider going down the slope. I have always planned to go back and "expand" this composition to capture the whole scene.

Mattie Winston Mystery Series
Holiday/Season/Special Event:
Winters in Sorenson, Wisconsin, can be unforgiving. But it's murder that keeps Mattie and her family from settling into their new home . . .
A new home, a new marriage, a new family. It's a lot to sort out. But before medicolegal death investigator Mattie can smooth out the unexpected chaos of her new life, duty calls. At the local ER, a battered and bruised teenage girl has been brought in by a mysterious man who claimed she'd fallen out of a car. The staff is suspicious, but while they attend to the teenager, the unidentified man slips out. Then the girl dies, but not before informing social worker Hildy Schneider that the man had her little sister as well.
Mattie's exam reveals forensic evidence of long-term IV drug use and physical abuse, findings consistent with Hildy's suspicion that the girl was a victim of human trafficking. They are able to confirm her identity as a teen who went missing six months ago, along with her sister—facts that are deeply unsettling to Mattie who now shares a home with her husband's teenaged daughter.
Working closely with Hildy and Sorenson homicide detectives, including her husband Steve Hurley, Mattie must delve into a dark underworld to stop the ruthless trafficking of human lives—before it's too late for another young girl . . .

Crafting a custom juice recipe is a fun method to exercise that imagination muscle in a very out-of-the box method. Some individuals bake, some people write, and some individuals mix it up with e-juice. At VaporFi, their online vape juice home builder makes it incredibly easy to be a professional mixologist. Rather of handling the unpleasant blending procedure at home or looking for Do It Yourself vape juice supplies and flavor extracts to blend in the house, VaporFi enables you to develop your own e-liquid with just a few easy clicks.
First, you'll pick if you want one, two, or 3 tastes in your customized blend. Then, you can browse through the flavor households, selecting from fruity, dessert, minty, or conventional tobacco flavors. As soon as you have actually chosen your tastes, you'll likewise have the ability to adjust your PG/VG ratio and the nicotine level in your juice. And that's it– it's actually that simple. They'll send your 30ml or 60ml customized mix, and you'll be on your way to enjoying your new creation– and did I discuss that shipping is complimentary, too?
Get creative with your taste combinations. Any taste you can consider most likely exists as a vape juice, so the possibilities are endless. If you're a dessert connoisseur, consider the flavors that are normally found in your favorite sweet reward. Possibly you'll combine vanilla, banana, and chocolate for an ice cream sundae-inspired blend, or our apple juice with a "scoop" of ice cream for apple pie a la mode. Or, for something a little more traditional, pair classic tobacco taste with fresh mint. Mix up the tastes much like you would in the kitchen area, and you're likely to produce something tasty.
Attempt a couple of, completely different, mixes. Mix up your blends and try a minimum of one juice that's totally out of package. If you're generally a traditionalist that sticks to simple flavors, don't hesitate to throw in something completely various, like a fruity mix that's influenced by a summer season mixed drink. Do not limit yourself to the "usual" tastes, since this is your opportunity to actually alter it up.
Get ideas from the vaping community. One of the best parts of vaping is the huge neighborhood of vapers that is all too delighted to share pointers and ideas. If you're finding yourself stuck to a psychological flavor block, do a little digging in some vaping forums and see what other individuals have actually attempted and enjoyed. Who understands, you may come across an insane taste mix that becomes you next preferred.
There are a few vaping companies that provide custom-made blends, but theirs is the very best DIY e-juice package because you'll be working with premier components and flavors. Plus, with their enormous selection of flavors, there have to do with 30,000 different mixes you can come up with– that's quite tough to beat. Hopefully, you're feeling influenced, and prepared to create your own Do It Yourself vape juice blend. Keep in mind: be creative, have a good time, and don't hesitate to attempt something out of package. You never ever understand what your next flavor prize may be!
Make VaporFi your very first and last stop for all your vaping needs, whether you're looking for a brand-new juice to add to your collection, or you're preparing to upgrade your device. They have the best choice of brands and items at unparalleled prices, and their support group is constantly here to address any concerns you may have.

The downside of upward mobility
In the Financial Times a few days ago, Janan Ganesh wrote an excellent piece on Theresa May's attempts to make British system more meritocratic, or differently put, to increase upward mobility. But Ganesh writes, if you are really serious about upward mobility in an era of low growth, then the upward mobility that the "bien pensant" upper middle classes like to champion, implies some downward mobility for the progenies of those same upper middle classes. But not only are they unwilling to contemplate this but they do everything to make sure the chances of those from the bottom overtaking the sons and daughters of the rich remain negligible. I have to quote here Ganesh's full paragraph:
"The room [at the top] rarely opens up because those mediocrities [mediocre sons and daughters of the top class] are too well screened by parents who hire private tutors, buy cultural enrichment, teach etiquette, set expectations, stand as personal examples of success, coach interviewing techniques, navigate any bureaucratic maze put before them, set up home in nice areas, arrange internships via friends and, just to rub in their supremacy, make direct gifts of cash and assets. To fail under these conditions is a kind of achievement in itself".
If we were not hypocritical and really wanted to support upward mobility or give equal chances to all there are many political measures we could enact. By listing them, and I am here adding a few from within the US context, Ganesh shows how totally politically unfeasible they are: confiscatory inheritance taxes, smaller class sizes in poorer neighborhood funded from the taxes from the rich, end of tax-exempt status for the richest universities, moral suasion that rich universities annually transfer 1% of their wealth to poorer state schools, criminalization of nepotism etc. None of these proposals will have the remotest chance of being accepted by those who currently wield political and economic power. Hence, hypocrisy.
Ganesh's article prompted me to write about what I thought for a while was a somewhat facile support of equal opportunities. (I wrote about it a bit before; here). It is today treated by some as a panacea and by others as "motherhood and apple pie", something that must be believed in, even unreflectively. It has joined the Pantheon of democracy, transparency, accountability and similar things we preach, do not observe, and never dare to question.
If upward mobility is about the relative positions in a society, then upward mobility for some implies downward mobility for the others. But if those currently at the top have a stronghold on the top places in society, there will no upward mobility however much we clamor for it. This positional (or relative) approach to mobility is a fairly accurate description of reality in societies that are growing slowly. In societies that develop quickly even if a lot of mobility is about positional advantages (and they are by definition fixed) it can be compensated by creating enough new social layers, new jobs and by making people richer. Thus the upwardly mobile have some room to move up which does not require an equal number of people to move down.
In more stagnant societies, mobility becomes a zero-sum game. To effect real social mobility in such societies, you need revolutions that, while equalizing chances or rather improving dramatically the chances of those on the bottom, do so at the cost of those on the top. In addition, they destroy many other things including lives, not only of those on the top but also of those on the bottom. (In that way, somewhat ironically, the near equality in death does the job of equalizing life chances). The French Revolution, until Napoleon to some extent reimposed the old state of affairs, was precisely such an upheaval: it oppressed the upper classes (clergy and nobility) and promoted the poorer classes. The Russian revolution did the same thing; it introduced an explicit reverse discrimination against the sons and daughters of former capitalists, and even of the intellectuals, in the access to education.
There is also an age element to such revolutions which fundamentally alter societies and lift those from below to the top. The young people benefit. In a beautiful short novel entitled "The élan of our youth" Alexander Zinoviev, a Russian logician and later dissident, describes the Stalinist purges from a young man's perspective. The purges of all 40- or 50-year old "Trotskyites" and "wreckers" opened suddenly incredible vistas of upward mobility for those who were 20- or 25-year old. They could hope, at best, to come to the positions of authority in ten or fifteen years; now, that were suddenly thrown in charge of hundreds of workers, became chief designers of airplanes, top engineers of the metro. What was purge and Gulag for some, was upward mobility for others. Or consider the age of Hitler and his closest associates when they came to power. Hitler was by far the oldest: at 43 years of age (Goebbels 35; Himmler 32). I would not be surprised that something similar is today afoot in many Middle Eastern societies where a huge inflow of the young in search of better positions has been met by the wall of stagnant economies and immovable top. ISIS provides a solution to that: you cannot become a head of a corporation, or a deputy minister, but you can lead a battalion of 100 suicide-warriors.
There are other disconcerting things about upward mobility. The Ottomans promoted it by creating a corps of Janissaries, children born in Christian families that were abducted at a young age, and then through military drill molded into a most formidable elite Army corps. Many of them went to rule at the highest positions, including the vizier or the prime minister. This is a beautiful example of both upward mobility and ethnic non-discrimination. But at the origin of that great example was a crime of abduction of children from their parents.
It is then not surprising that, short of such massive upheavals that shake the societies to their very core, countries tend to display relatively little positional mobility. The two recent studies, of Sweden and Tuscany, found this by examining the names of most eminent families over several centuries and came to the conclusion that they have little changed.
I think that we are led to a very somber conclusion here. In societies with slow growth, upward mobility is limited by the lack of opportunities and the solid grip that those who are on the top keep over the chances of their children to remain on the top. It is either self-delusion or hypocrisy to believe that societies with such unevenness of chances will come close to resembling "meritocracies". But it is also the case that true upward mobility comes with an enormous price tag of lives lost and wealth destroyed.

"A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from
which to look back or from which to look ahead."
"The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey than that of happiness. In misery we seem
aware of our own existence, even though it may be in the form of a monstrous egotism: this pain
of mine is individual, this nerve that winces belongs to me and to no other. But happiness
annihilates us: we lose our identity."
Graham Greene, The End of the Affair, 1951
Edward Dmytryk, The End of the Affair, 1955
"It's a strange thing to discover and to believe that you are loved when you know that
there is nothing in you for anybody but a parent or a God to love."
"I had to touch you with my hands, I had to taste you with my tongue;
one can't love and do nothing."
"I have loved no part of the world like this and I have loved no women as I love you.
You're my human Africa. I love your smell as I love these smells. I love your dark bush
as I love the bush here, you change with the light as this place does, so that one all the
time is loving something different and yet the same. I want to spill myself out into you
as I want to die here."
"When I tried to remember her voice saying, 'Don't worry,' I found I had no memory for
sounds. I couldn't imitate her voice. I couldn't even caricature it: when I tried to remember
it, it was anonymous - just any woman's voice.
The process of forgetting her had set in. We should keep gramophone records
as we keep photographs."
"Insecurity is the worst sense that lovers feel; sometimes the most humdrum desireless
marriage seems better. Insecurity twists meanings and poisons trust."
"Yesterday I went home with him and we did the usual things. I haven't the nerve to put them
down, but I'd like to, because now when I'm writing it's already tomorrow and I'm afraid of
getting to the end of yesterday. As long as I go on writing, yesterday is today and
we are still together"
"There are times when a lover longs to be also a father and a brother:
he is jealous of the years he hasn't shared."
"I had never known her before and I had never loved her so much.
The more we know the more we love, I thought."
"I measured love by the extent of my jealousy."
"You needn't be so scared. Love doesn't end. Just because we don't see each other..."
"We can love with our minds, but can we love only with our minds? Love extends itself all
the time, so that we can love even with our senseless nails: we love even with our clothes,
so that a sleeve can feel a sleeve."
"I became aware that our love was doomed; love had turned into a love affair with a beginning
and an end. I could name the very moment when it had begun, and one day I knew I should
be able to name the final hour. When she left the house I couldn't settle to work. I would
reconstruct what we had said to each other; I would fan myself into anger or remorse.
And all the time I knew I was forcing the pace. I was pushing, pushing the only thing I loved
out of my life. As long as I could make believe that love lasted I was happy; I think I was even
good to live with, and so love did last. But if love had to die, I wanted it to die quickly. It was
as though our love were a small creature caught in a trap and bleeding to death; I had to shut
my eyes and wring its neck."
"Eternity is said not to be an extension of time but an absence of time."
"Sometimes I get tired of trying to convince him that I love him and shall love him for ever.
He pounces on my words like a barrister and twists them. I know he is afraid of that desert
which would be around him if our love were to end, but he can't realize that I feel exactly
the same. What he says aloud, I say to myself silently and write it here."
"I'm not at peace anymore. I just want him like I used to in the old days. I want to be eating
sandwiches with him. I want to be drinking with him in a bar. I'm tired and I don't want
anymore pain. I want Maurice. I want ordinary corrupt human love. Dear God, you know
I want to want Your pain, but I don't want it now. Take it away for a while and give it me
another time."
Deborah Kerr - The End of the Affair, 1955
"I want men to admire me, but that's a trick you learn at school--a movement of the eyes,
a tone of voice, a touch of the hand on the shoulder or the head. If they think you admire
them, they will admire you because of your good taste, and when they admire you, you
have an illusion for a moment that there's something to admire."
"Indifference and pride look very much alike, and he probably thought I was proud."
"As long as one suffers one lives."
"So much in writing depends on the superficiality of one's days. One may be preoccupied
with shopping and income tax returns and chance conversations, but the stream of the
unconscious continues to flow undisturbed, solving problems, planning ahead: one sits down
sterile and dispirited at the desk, and suddenly the words come as though from the air: the
situations that seemed blocked in a hopeless impasse move forward: the work has been done
while one slept or shopped or talked with friends."

Autistic boy missing in Southern California woods
ARROWHEAD, CA
San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said 8-year-old Joshua Robb ran out of the gates of Grandview Elementary School's playground in Arrowhead at about 11 a.m. Monday.
Staff gave chase, but the boy ran into the forest and has not been found, Bachman said.
Law enforcement was on scene within minutes of receiving the call that a boy was missing from the school, Bachman said.
"He's rather quick and this kind of behavior where he runs off is typical," said Bachman, adding that to her knowledge he'd never been lost in the woods before.
Joshua is "severely autistic and does not respond well to loud noises or loud voices, and unfortunately in this situation we have to have the helicopter searching for him so I'm sure that is somewhat disturbing to him but it's absolutely necessary," Bachman said.
The boy is 60 to 75 lbs, with brown hair and dark brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a tan and grey-striped collared shirt, black shorts and grey sandals.
Search and rescue teams from San Diego and Riverside will join the search effort at daybreak, Bachman said.
