This bit is a conversation between John Wilkes Booth (the guy who shot President Lincoln) and Lee Harvey Oswald (the guy who shot President Kennedy). It's taken from a theater show called Assassins, which explores all of the people who have tried (and often succeeded) to kill US Presidents. The great Stephen Sondheim was composer.

One little bit of interest for my european friends. For a long time in the States we had what's known as the 20 year curse. As the legend goes, an Indian woman, as her village was being burnt to ground and her tribe slaughtered by the American governemnet, put a curse on the leaders of the US. Every President elected in a year ending in zero, 1840,1900, 1920, etc  would die in office.

AND..... curiously enough:

President Harrison, elected 1840: died of pneumonia

President Lincoln, elected 1860: shot by John Wilkes Booth

President Garfield, elected 1880: shot by Charles Guiteau

President McKinley, elected 1900: shot by Leon Czolgosz

President Harding, elected 1920, died of heart attack (conspiracy theories abounded that he was poisoned)

President Roosevelt, elected 1940 (amongst other years), died of cerebral hemorrhage

President Kennedy, elected 1960, shot by Lee Harvey Oswald

All died in office.

After this the curse stops. Reagan (e. 1980) WAS shot, but he obviously lived. Bush would be the next (e. 2000) but with 3 months to go, i'm going to go ahead and simply assume he will make it to end just fine. The "curse" does in fact seem to have ended. Interesting though, no?

And thus, i give you a nice little dramatic conversation. One assassin to another.

Song- Hum tere pyaar mein saara aalam (Dil ek Mandir 1963) Singer-Lata,  Lyrics-Hasrat, MD- Shankar Jaikishan

Lyrics

ham tere pyaar mein saaraa aalam
kho baithe hain
kho baithe
tum kahte ho ke aise pyaar ko bhool jaao, bhool jaao
ham tere pyaar mein saaraa aalam
kho baithe hain
kho baithe
tum kahte ho ke aise pyaar ko bhool jaao, bhool jaao
ham tere pyaar mein saaraa aalam

panchi se chhudaakar uskaa ghar,
tum apne ghar par le aaye
ye pyaar kaa pinjraa man bhaayaa,
ham jee bhar bhar kar muskaaye
jab pyaar huaa is pinjre se,
tum kahne lage aazaad raho
ham kaise bhulaayen pyaar teraa,
tum apni zubaan se ye na kaho
ab tumsa jahan me koi nahin hai
hum to tumhare ho baithe
tum kahte ho ke aise pyaar ko bhool jaao bhool jaao
hum tere pyar me saaara aalam

ik tere charan ki dhool se
hamne apni jeewan maang bhari
jab hi to suhaagan kahalaayi, duniyaa ke nazar mein pyaar bani
tum pyaar ki sundar muurat ho, aur pyaar hamaari puujaa hai
ab in charnon mein dam nikle, bas itni aur tamannaa hai
hum pyar ke Ganga jal se balam ji tan man apna dho baithe
tum kahte ho ke aise pyaar ko bhool jaao bhool jaao
hum tere pyar me saaara aalam

sapno ka darpan dekha tha
sapno ka darpan tod diya
ye pyar ka aanchal hamne to
daaman se tumhaare baandh liya
ye aisi gaaath hai ulfat ki
jisko na koi bhi khol saka

tum aan base jab is dil mein
dil phir to kahin na dol saka

o pyaar ke saagar ham terii laharon mein naav dubo baithe
tum kahate ho ke aise pyaar ko bhuul jaao, bhuul jaao
hum tere pyar me saara aalam
kho baithe hain
kho baithe
tum kahte ho ke aise pyaar ko bhool jaao bhool jaao
hum tere pyar me saaara aalam

Some phrases combined for clarity: I have a dream changed to IHaveADream, New York changed to NewYork, one day changed to OneDay, New Hampshire changed to NewHampshire, South Carolina changed to SouthCarolina, One hundred years later changed to 100YearsLater, and Let freedom ring changed to LetFreedomRing.

In some cases, S D Burman song would be played at the end while "The End" screen was on the verge of appearing and the audience were in a hurry to leave the movie hall.

The Bandini song " mere saajan hai us paar" is one such song that gets played at the last moments of the movie. Ashok Kumar disembarks from a train hauled by a steam locomotive and unknown to him, Nutan too is in the same train. As Ashok Kumar boards a steam ship, and the ship is about to set sail, Nutan makes it to the ship at the 11th hour and 59th minute. I suppose there was nothing like security checks etc on sea ships on those days.

Jokes apart, this song from a movie full of some of the saddest songs in Bollywood history, marks a fitting finale to a memorable melancholic movie.

With an established reputation and a (finally) profitable product line, the guys in the Corvette design and engineering team got down to the business of building a second generation of "the poor man's sports car."  Japanese-American designer Larry Shinoda had already conceived a prototype, dubbed the "Mako Shark" after the deadly sea creature that inspired it, which toured autoshows across the country in 1961.  Thankfully, basing a sportscar around the shape of a fish worked out for GM's design department, something that BMW wouldn't pull off forty years later with the "Moby Dick" shaped Z4 roadster.

Of course, with the mechanical wonders that Zora Arkus-Duntov's team put under the ride, The General could have signed off on a goldfish-shaped car and still sold thousands.  Right off the line, the new 'Vette featured four-wheel independent suspension, something that's still not available on many rear-wheel drive cars.  Up front, engine options were limited to the 327 c.i. small block V-8, in both carbureted and fuel-injected versions, kicking out 260 and 350 horsepower, respectively.  1963 was also the only year to have a split rear window and fake chrome hood louvers, both of which had disappeared by 1964.

1965 came in with more goodies than a fat kid on Halloween.  For starters, the Duntov dream team had installed 4-wheel disc brakes on every single Corvette.  And in order to make use of the improved stopping power, Chevy offered the all-new Mark IV 396 big-block as a 425 horsepower alternative to the 327 small-block.  Within a year, the big engine was bored out to 427 cubic inches, and by 1967 came with an optional "tri-power" triple Holley carb setup, grinding the pavement with up to 435 h.p.  And if you were one of the lucky twenty buyers that year, you might have driven away with the L-88 427 c.i. engine package.  Although it was officially rated at 430 horsepower, most owners claimed the car felt closer to the 550-horse range.  Today, the L-88 has become the most sought-after Corvette, fetching over $600,000 at auction.

Although the Corvette was slowly drifting closer to its American musclecar roots than its European styling influences, the little coupe that could was quickly coming of age.  Zora Arkus-Duntov himself was even overheard saying "finally, a Corvette that I would not be ashamed to drive in Europe."  And now, with a battle-hardened design and engineering team behind it, the Corvette was ready to enter the big-engine era of the North American automobile in high gear.

And here's where I reveal my dirty little secret;  this fuel-injected '63 split-window is the centrepiece of my own personal collection, spanning over 15 vehicles in almost every automotive genre.  I've always preferred to stay modest about my garage, but it's time I came out and showed my loyal readers what I'm really all about.  In fact, here's a picture of my 'Vette parked in its usual spot:

Ok, so April Fool's is a few months off, but for those of you who haven't figured it out, this '63 stingray is the centrepiece of my Hot Wheels collection-or at least the Hot Wheels that I didn't completely mangle as a kid.  Not seen here is the Adam West-era Batmobile, a '32 coupe in primer and flames, and enough 1/64th scale farm equipment to plant a good-sized crop.  For pictures of real (bitchin') C2 Corvettes, come back Friday for our first "Free Wallpaper Fridays!"

Gene Vincent, el hombre ‘Be-Bop-A-Lula' (como yo lo llamo, en referencia a su éxito de 1956), fue el primero en “coverear” Another Saturday Night. Su versión empezó a escucharse en la radio por los últimos meses de 1964. Algo que resalta de este cover es su letra, que recibió un ligero cambio por parte de Vincent.

…Pero la versión más famosa de Another Saturday Night es de nada y nada menos que del gran Cat Stevens (hoy conocido como Yusum Islam). El maestro Stevens retomó el éxito de Sam Cooke en 1974, agregándole su ya característico estilo para crear una versión única…

 Junto con la bella Morning Has Broken, es el único tema de Cat cuya letra y/o música (como viene a ser el caso de Morning… ) no fue compuesta por él mismo.

Another Saturday Night tuvo un cover mexicano bastante famoso (sobre todo en la ciudad de Monterrey, gracias al célebre programa de televisión Muévanse Todos), que preservaba el toque humorístico de la versión original. Se conoció como Mis Siete Novios, y era interpretado por la cantante Vianey Valdés. Los “siete novios” en cuestión eran todos artistas mexicanos famosos (Agustín Lara, Enrique Guzmán, Alberto Vázquez, Manolo Muñoz…), y las intenciones de Vianey quedaban muy claras con esa parte de la canción que decía: “A todos quiero por entero / Por tener dinero / Y a ninguno por amor…”. Un tanto cruel… ¿No creen? ;) .

Cast: Steve McQueen, James Garner, James Donald, Richard Attenborough, Charles Bronson.

Genre: War Film

This film definitely is a part of the Creme-de-la-Creme of the best of the hollywood war films. Released in 1963, the film depicts the efforts of around 250 allied prisoners of war trying to escape from a German POW camp during the second world war. Though, the film is based on a true story, there are a few discrepancies with the actual reality, but that doesn't really undermines in anyway, this beautiful film.

The German High Command establishes a highly secure prisoner camp, for some of the most successful, yet captured, escaped prisoners of war. They believe in putting all these men, together in order to keep a watch on them with real tight security available during the second world war.

The movie begins with Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett ( Richard Attenborough ) coming into this camp. He heads the escape committee and formulates the plan to escape along with the other prisoners by digging three separate tunnels named 'Tom', 'Dick' and 'Harry'. He does, so to ensure, that even if one of the tunnels is found by the Germans, they still don't fall back on their plans.

The cunning manner in which the prisoners, organized into teams, cover the noises and get rid of the dirt which comes from digging the tunnels is quite amazing. 'Tom' is found by the guards, amongst the celebration of American Independence Day by the prisoners. Seeing this, already depressed flying officer Archibald Ives ( Angus Lennie ) cracks down and goes for a desperate lunge and climbs on the barbed wire fence to escape and is gunned down by the guards.

Flight Lieutenant Hendley ( Played by James Garner ) befriends a German guards and arranges for a camera, and eventually fools him and slicks his ID card, which is then copied for each of the prisoners to render in the escape plan.

Capt Virgil Hilts played by Steve McQueen, finds a blind spot in the camp, a place in the camp near the wires, which is not visible from any of the guard towers. He then escapes, by cutting through the wires one night, and gets himself caught after a few days. He spends some time in the 'Cooler', a place within the camp, which is secluded from the rest of the camp and prisoners. When he returns from the cooler, he has all the information about the location of police stations and railway stations and possible escape routes in the vicinity.

On the final day, only 76 of them manage to escape from the prison camp, and the rest of them are caught. After various attempts to reach the allied nations , either Switzerland , Sweden or Spain, most of the prisoners are either captured or killed. Only 3 of the prisoners manage to escape from Germany in the end.

There are a few scenes which are certainly noteworthy. Roger is identified in a railway station, as he says 'Thank You' in response to a German officer's comment ' Have a good day ! '. The motorbike stunts by Virgil Hilts as he attempts to cross the border is quite amazing. Some of these stunts were performed by Steve McQueen himself. Ives cracking down, and going towards the wire, in a state of total desperation calls for applauds. The particular scene in which most of the prisoners are executed, when they are least aware of it.

The hindi film Deewar starring Amitabh Bachchan and Akshaye Khanna is based on this film.

Steve McQueen and Richard Attenborough steal the show but every other actor gives out his best in this film.

Richard Attenborough is the old guy from ' Jurassic Park '. I am sure, you guys would have identified him by now, if you have seen ' Jurrassic Park '. He also directed and produced 'Gandhi' in 1981.

I would give this film, 8/10, if someone does care about my rating :)

No siempre todas las noticias eurovisivas son buenas. Vice Vukov que representó a Yoguslavia en 1963 y 1965 falleció el pasado 24 de este mes, a los 72 años, después de haber estado por casi 3 años en estado de coma.

El mundo de Eurovision esta de luto. El pasado miércoles 24 de setiembre el cantante de la ex-Yoguslavo Vice Vukov fallece después de estar en coma por casi 3 años. Vice Vukov es seleccionado por su país en 2 ocaciones: en 1963 es enviado a Eurovision con el tema "Brodovi" y "Čežnja" es el tema seleccionado en 1965.

Con la fama en todo su país después de participar en Eurovision, Vice incurciona en la política de su país en un movimiento independentista (Croatian Spring). Cuando el movimiento en donde estaba se disolvió, tuvo que abandonar su país y se le prohibe actuar por muchos años.

Después de que Vice Vukov salga de Yoguslavia, las autoridades del país eslavo deciden retirar todos sus discos de las tiendas musicales, registrar su casa y es incluido en una lista negra con los artistas betados a nivel nacional. En 1989 todo regresa a la normalidad en el país y decide regresar presentando 14 conciertos en Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall.

En noviembre del 2005, cuando estaba bajando las escaleras de un edificio parlamentario, Vice sufre una caida y le provoca una lesión cerebral grave. Al ser hospitalizado y después de una intervención quirúrgica cae en coma. Un año después, una junta de médicos que trataban a Vukov, se informa que se encontraba en estado vegetativo sin posibilidad alguna de recuperación.

Esta fue una pequeña biografia de un grande eurovisivo. Si bien no ganó el festival, su calidad musical y la pasión de libertad que tenia en su país, fue suficiente para que Eurovison Latino le dedique un pequeño tributo.

Aquí les presentamos las 2 participacines de Vice Vukov, el grande de Yoguslavia.

Yoguslavia >> Vice Vukov - Brodovi {Eurovision 1963} [11º]

Yoguslavia >> Vice Vukov - Čežnja {Eurovision 1965} [12º]

Yoguslavia >> Historia Eurovisiva {Extraida de Wikipedia}

Yugoslavia participó en el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión 27 veces, cada año entre 1961 y 1992, excepto entre 1977 y 1980, así como en 1985. Ganó una sola vez, en 1989.

What I can know in china about the war
1. We won easily.
2. We gave those military devices back to India after having them repaired to despise Indian and to humiliate them.
3. Surprisingly, the territory is still in Indian hands (Arunachal Pradesh).

What's wrong with Han Chinese?
Probably, there are many explanations. But arrogance is absolutely one of the factors affecting Han Chinese behavior.

Recordando al gran Del Shannon, con su canción: Runaway.

Aquí les dejo las letras para que la canten mientras ven el video :).

As I walk along I wonder a-what went wrong
With our love, a love that was so strong
And as I still walk on, I think of the things we've done
Together, a-while our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway

[Musitron solo]

I'm a-walkin' in the rain
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
Wishin' you were here by me
To end this misery
And I wonder
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Why
Ah-why-why-why-why-why she ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway
A-run-run-run-run-runaway

 

  

 

PN: Si ha sempre l’impressione, a esser belli, che la gente ti accetti per ragioni sbagliate: insomma non perché tu sei tu ma perché sei bello. Tennessee Williams ha scritto molto su questo, sull’agghiacciante influenza che la bellezza fisica ha sugli altri in America.

[…]

OF: Sono travolta dall’ammirazione: ecco tutto.

PN: No. Dalla convinzione di avere a che fare con uno scemo. È bello, quindi è scemo.

OF: Orson Welles dice che la bellezza aiuta l’intelligenza. Chi è bello non ha complessi, chi non ha complessi è più libero, chi è più libero è più intelligente. Un attore bello quindi è intelligentissimo.

PN: Io non ero partito con l’idea di fare l’attore, non ho mai avuto la polvere del palcoscenico nelle vene eccetera. Io mi sono laureato in scienze politiche e volevo insegnare regia, fare il regista è ancora il mio sogno, una volta ho perfino girato un filmino: a mie spese. Mica per proiettarlo, per divertirmi; una cosuccia di 20 minuti, anzi 21, suggerita da un monologo di Anton Cechov. Infatti non m’è riuscito. Ci ho lavorato ben quattro giorni e non m’è riuscito. Si vede che non sono creativo. (Sorride: bellissimo).

Los barberos, aparte de hacer honor a su nombre cortando el pelo y afeitando las barbas, han ejercido una gran diversificación en su trabajo. Desde muy antiguo los barberos han cirujanos practicantes y sacamuelas, ultima opción para las gentes pobres que no podían procurarse un buen médico. Su eficacia en esta labor ha quedado reflejada en como también se les llamaba: "matasanos".

Respecto a otro trabajo insólito de los barberos, del que me he enterado por mi abuelo, es el de sacristán; es decir el hombre que en las iglesias tiene a su cargo ayudar al sacerdote en el servicio del altar y cuidar de los ornamentos y de la limpieza y aseo de la iglesia y sacristía.

By the way, please someone prove me wrong... email or comment with a link to the best argument you got!

Nancy Noonan (1963) writes, "I retired from the PSEA on January 2, 2007, as a Field Director/Organizer after 35.33 years of total service. Nine of those years I was a State Executive Officer, serving as VP-5yrs; Pres-4yrs."

Patricia Petrus (1963) writes, "Please check out my recently published book: SEND LITE TO EVERY FEAR: The Everyday Hero's Litany, Author: Patriczia Petrus (aka Patricia). It is available in hard or soft cover on Amazon, Barnes&Noble, and all major online booksellers or through my website: www.sendlite.com. Always pack light...and love."

Barbara Spellman Shuta (1968) chaired the 2007-08 Presidential Society Campaign at Marywood University. The Presidential Society is Marywood's most prestigious club of benefactors. As chair, Barabara works with other alumni and friends to provide student scholarships, academic programs, and campus activities.

Marianne Schimelfenig (1969) writes, "On April 1, 2008, I became the General Counsel for Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I have been practicing law in higher education since 19990, most recently as General Counsel for Saint Mary's College of California (10 years) and prior to that as a trial lawyer in the Office of the General Counsel for the Regents of the University of California (8 years), both located in the Bay Area. Before entering the field of higher education law, I was a civil trial lawyer and partner in a law firm in Portland, Oregon. I graduated from Lewis and Clark Northwestern School of Law in Portland, Oregon and also have a Master's Degree in American History from the University of Scranton."

I have heard this song "ruk jaa raat thahar ja re chanda" many times, often without knowing which movie the song is from. I have never seen the movie, and I had not seen the video of the song either till recently.

But the song itself paints a vivid picture which every listener can visualise in his/ her minds eyes in technicolour, that is how well Lata has sung this song. I have always found this song incredibly romantic and sensuous, all that by just listening to this song, and the way Lata has sung it.

To the present generation, the picturisation of the song may appear to belong to the dark ages, but we have to keep it in mind that the movie was made in 1963, nearly 35 years ago, when women in India were regarded as charnon ki daasi to her husband and was supposed to touch his feet, serve him like a servant etc.

The song itself is quite modern by the standards of India during that period. Shailendra has excelled in writing this song, as he always did. Shankar Jaikishan, the music director has got the best out of Lata. Here is one song that shows that like Madan Mohan,Shankar Jaikishan too could get the most out of Lata in those days. The fact that Lata was at the peak of her singing prowess during that time certainly helped matters.

Comme pour la plupart des autoroutes construites en régions montagneuses, l'A-73 comporte certaines particularités.

Ici, avant la sortie vers la route Cameron, on avise les conducteurs de camions de 15 tonnes et plus d'utiliser cette sortie pour atteindre Vallée-Jonction, la côte à descendre, à cet endroit, étant trop abrupte.

Le point de raccordement des deux chaussées de l'A-73 en une seule, au kilomètre 94, juste au nord de la rivière Chassé, et au sud de la sortie de la route Cameron.

Les conducteurs de camions de 15 tonnes et plus, qui n'ont pas sorti à la route Cameron, une fois rendus à la sortie de Vallée-Jonction, se feront diriger, par l'entremise de ce panneau, vers la sortie 72, à Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce.

La forte densité des nuages, ainsi que les arbres matures, situés assez près de la chaussée, ont créé un contrejour important, sur cette photo.  C'est à cet endroit que l'A-73 se terminait, avant l'automne dernier; la sortie 72, vers la route 276, à Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce.  Le tout nouveau tronçon s'étend à partir de ce point, vers le sud.

Un panneau avertissant de la possible présence d'orignaux n'a rien de bien original, sauf que de tels panneaux, munis de feux clignotants, sont plutôt rares, au Québec.  Ils sont courants sur la route US-201, dans le Maine, la route qui se rattache à la QC-173, à la hauteur de la frontière américaine.

Une fois que l'on a traversé la rivière Calway, l'A-73 se redivise en deux chaussées, plus précisément au kilomètre 65,4.

Ici, on indique que l'A-73 se terminera dans 2 kilomètres.  Nous sommes à Beauceville.

Voici les deux ponts de la rivière des Plante, à Beauceville, à environ un kilomètre de la fin de l'autoroute.

L'échangeur du chemin du Golf, à Beauceville, avec l'amorce de la suite, vers Saint-Georges.

À la fin de l'A-73, il faut prendre le chemin du Golf, pour aller rejoindre la route 173.  Comme il y a une pente assez longue, il a fallu aménager une aire de vérification des freins, pour les camions lourds.

Ce fut plutôt compliqué de prendre l'intersection de la QC-173 et du chemin du Golf en photo.  Il n'y a pas vraiment d'espace pour stationner la blogue-mobile de façon sécuritaire, et j'étais derrière deux camions-remorques.  L'opération a donc donné ceci.

Les larges accotements m'ont toutefois permis de prendre en image une vue plus impressionnante des ponts de la rivière des Plante, cette fois en direction nord.

Je fus un peu déçu, parce que l'A-73 s'arrète au chemin du Golf, à Beauceville, puis que passé ce point, plus rien.  Pas de travaux.  Je vous reviendrai là-dessus, d'autant plus que Patrick Lessard, auteur d'un site web dédié à l'autoroute 73, m'a communiqué de précieuses informations sur cette autoroute, ainsi que sur les tergiversations concernant la poursuite des travaux.  C'est donc à suivre.
