Midnight Pals: Cats

Lilian Jackson Braun: ok so hear me out on this one Braun: what if there was a cat that solved mysteries? Rita Mae Brown: a cat that solved mysteries?!?!? Carole Nelson Douglas: a cat that solved mysteries?!?! Cate Conte: a cat that solved mysteries!!??

Brown: this is the greatest thing i've ever heard Braun: you think? Brown: listen i have 2 interests in life Brown: radical lesbian liberation Brown: and cats that solve mysteries Brown: and this idea definitely fits into one of those categories

Lilian Jackson Braun: anyway Braun: here's a picture of my cat Rita Mae Brown: oooh she's precious!! and here's a picture of MY cat Braun: she's adorable! Carole Nelson Douglas: and here's a picture of MY cat Braun: she's so adorable! Brown: precious!

Panting as he stood over the Koopaling, his fur drenched from the heat of the place already - he can't spare a side glance down to Junior, but he addresses him any way as his gaze digs daggers into the Kong opposite of them who had already recovered from the blow with a vicious shake, a snarl, and a punch in the ground of a step forward. "Yes, that's exactly what I want!" DK growls, fangs flashing towards his opponent. It's a well known fact that Kongs were ever posturing power, and DK is no different as he flares his chest up as if taunting the darker furred Kong to charge him. "...this is not some game, it's the real deal! Your dad probably doesn't even know what's going on...you gotta get back and tell'im what's-" But his advice is met with Dread charging them, none too bothered by the sudden appearance of a wandering craft taking notice of their fight.

Once Dread lunged, it's easy for him to duck from the Kong prince's throat-aimed bite, sliding under an armpit to sidle up a flank and grab him from behind, muscled arms hiked up and locking DK into a full nelson of a shield aimed for the sky. Any annoyance from above would just have to blast DK to pieces before they could agitate him further. "You're weaker than usual... ~ and here I thought I taught you better." Dread tuts lowly in his captive's ear from behind, shifting to hike up his prey with a few vicious yanks before committing and flinging him backwards over his head to crack the other's skull against the ground and hold it there, a rumble of a chuckle sounding in his chest. "I just need the prince...but now, not so much that you're here. Congratulations ~ you're the reason they die."

Dread mocks, tasting his fangs briefly before launching forward to dig his nails into DK's flank and....slowly but surely, spin them both around with a force strong enough to emit whirlwinds that jostle the craft above. Though wind is the least of the vessel's worries, because Dread soon chucks DK at the ship with full force.

The resounding 'ping' of the Kong smacking heavily into the bow of the floating airship where he swiftly falls back and skids across the rocky terrain until he comes to settle near the other Kooplings that have stopped to investigate. "St-...op. You snotty little-" DK grunts, struggling to rise onto one arm to better see the next attack coming.

"GET OUTTA HERE NOW. YOU'RE MAKING THIS WORSE-!" It's bad enough Dread is so fixated on Junior, but more Koopalings couldn't possibly make the situation better...especially if Dread decided they were annoying enough to snuff out.

O anúncio também foi feito pelo presidente durante conversa com apoiadores na porta do Palácio do Alvorada.  "Foi decidido agora a tarde a indicação do médico Marcelo Queiroga para o Ministério da Saúde. Ele é presidente da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia. A conversa foi excelente, já o conhecia há alguns anos então não é uma pessoa que tomei conhecimento há poucos dias, e tem, no meu entender, tudo para fazer um bom trabalho dando prosseguimento em tudo que Pazuello fez até hoje", afirmou Bolsonaro na conversa transmitida pelo site Foco do Brasil, mantido por apoiadores do presidente. - Nesta segunda-feira convidei o atual presidente da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia (SBC), Marcelo Queiroga, para assumir o cargo de Ministro da Saúde. Publicado por Jair Messias Bolsonaro em Segunda-feira, 15 de março de 2021 Mais cedo, o ministro Eduardo Pazuello deu uma coletiva de imprensa para atualizar informações sobre o combate à pandemia de covid-19 e confirmou que o presidente mantinha tratativas para a sua substituição na pasta .  A nomeação de Queiroga será publicada na edição de amanhã (16) do Diário Oficial da União e o processo de transição no ministério deve durar entre uma e duas semanas, disse o presidente.  Nas redes sociais, o ministro das Comunicações, Fábio Faria, também comentou a indicação de Queiroga, classificando o Ministério da Saúde como “uma das pastas mais desafiadoras e relevantes” do governo.

Sua área de atuação é em hemodinâmica e cardiologia intervencionista e atualmente Queiroga é presidente da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia.  Com a indicação, Queiroga será o quarto ministro da Saúde desde o começo da pandemia de Covid, há exatamente um ano. Passaram pela pasta, neste período, os médicos Luiz Henrique Mandetta e Nelson Teich, seguido depois pelo general Eduardo Pazuello, do Exército.  O principal desafio do novo ministro será acelerar o processo de vacinação em massa da população.

“TWO CONVICTS FACE TRIAL FOR PRISON ATTACK,” Winnipeg Tribune. July 7, 1932. Page 2. ---- Pair Who Beat Guards Are Committed For Trial After Hearing ---- Charged with unlawfully wounding Thomas Clayton, chief keeper, and Alfred Fisher, guard at Stony Mountain penitentiary, Thomas Jones and William Gorda were committed for trial at the assizes, after preliminary hearing before Magistrate R. H. Welsford in provincial police court today. 

The attack occurred in the penitentiary yard shortly after 3 pm... April 15, as the prisoners were being returned to the penal cells from the bath-house and change room. 

Thomas Clayton said that he observed that Jones and Gorda, while they were in the change room, were exchanging signs and whispering together. Before they left the bath-house, Guard Nelson saw Jones take a waste pipe from a wash- basin and try to hide it under his cont. Nelson reported this to Clayton and the pipe was taken from Jones. 

Seizes Sledgehammer Two other prisoners were in the single file marching back to the eella. Gorda and Jones were in the lead. As they turned the east end of the stone-cutting shed, Gorda sprang upon a flat stone and seized a 12-pound sledge hammer left there by workmen. 

As the prisoner swung the hammer, the chief keeper leaped for- ward to close with him, but was struck down by a blow on the left temple. At the same time Guard Fisher was knocked out by heavy blows behind the ear and under the chin. He was struck by Jones. The guard could not say whether any weapon was used. 

No evidence was brought out at today's hearing concerning the shooting by guards stationed on the prison walls, which resulted in the death of Mike Bihun, a convict who took no part in the attack, but was struck by a stray bullet. Both Gorda and Jones were shot through the legs. 

One Chained In Cell Thomas Clayton said that one of the accused convicts had been in the penal cells for 30 days. He could not say which of them it was, nor did he know how long the other man had been in close confinement. During their period of punishment, the men were chained by their hands to the cell bars for six hours each day. They received one full meal and two meals of bread and water. 

Colone! William Meighen, warden of the penitentiary, was in Winnipeg at the time of the outbreak. Jones and Gorda were confined in cells five feet by eight feet. They had less than six months to serve before expiration of their sentences. Gorda had been in the penal cell about a week. The warden could not say how long Jones was confined. 

 If the warden thinks it necessary, Colonel Meighen said, he can order prisoners to the penal cells for violation of prison rules. 

Percy Hagel, defence counsel, tried to find out the nature of the prisoners' offence, but the warden. would not give the information. 

George D. McVicar conducted the prosecution.

Rovigo, “Il Trovatore” vi richiede a Teatro Sociale per la Stagione di Prosa

Rovigo, “Il Trovatore” vi richiede a Teatro Sociale per la Stagione di Prosa.   Grande fermento e tanta attesa per il prossimo appuntamento con la Stagione Lirica del Teatro Sociale di Rovigo che, venerdì 3 febbraio alle 20.30 vedrà in scena “Il Trovatore”, di Giuseppe Verdi, in un nuovo allestimento in coproduzione con i teatri di Treviso, Novara e Jesi. L'opera andrà in replica domenica 5 febbraio alle 16 e in anteprima per il teatroragazzi mercoledì 1 febbraio alle 16. Il trovatore è un'opera  di Giuseppe Verdi rappresentata in prima assoluta il 19 gennaio 1853 al Teatro Apollo di Roma. Assieme a Rigoletto e La traviata fa parte della cosiddetta trilogia popolare. “A quasi dieci anni dall'ultima rappresentazione del capolavoro verdiano in terra Rodigina – afferma il direttore artistico del Teatro Sociale Edoardo Bottacin -, sono particolarmente felice di vedere questo titolo in stagione con una coproduzione virtuosa, che mette in rete diverse e prestigiose realtà per un titolo che nasconde non poche insidie, sia a livello drammaturgico che musicale, soprattutto sul fronte vocale e corale. Un'operazione questa, che va a chiudere il progetto di messa inscena in un triennio della celebre trilogia verdiana ( Traviata nel 2021, Rigoletto nel 2022) e che, grazie ad un cast di alto profilo capitanato da Gaston Riviero e Olesya Petrova conferma ancora una volta l'attenzione del nostro teatro verso le grandi voci internazionali”.   PERSONAGGI E INTERPRETI Manrico Gaston Rivero Azucena Olesya Petrova Conte di Luna Nelson Martinez Leonora Marily Santoro Ferrando Carlo Malinverno Ines Brigida Garda Ruiz Francesco Marsiglia maestro concertatore e direttore d’orchestra Francesco Rosa regia Deda Cristina Colonna scene e costumi Domenico Franchi luci Fabrizio Gobbi Orchestra Regionale Filarmonia Veneta Coro Lirico Veneto maestro del coro Giuliano Fracasso Realizzazione scene Laboratori Scenografici della Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini di Jesi Costumi Sartoria Teatrale della Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini, Sartoria Teatrale Arianna, Macerata Coproduzione Fondazione Pergolesi Spontini di Jesi, Teatro Sociale di Rovigo Teatro Coccia di Novara, Teatro Mario Del Monaco di Treviso   Note di regia DEDA CRISTINA COLONNA La vicenda de Il trovatore si svolge di notte; è l’ultima notte del Medio Evo, il buio dell’animo umano prigioniero delle superstizioni, dell’odio e dell’ignoranza, l’oscurità in cui si bruciano le streghe, si coltivano sentimenti di inflessibile vendetta, in cui l’amore è espresso come diritto di possesso e la menzogna è sconfitta quando ormai è troppo tardi. ‘Egl’era tuo fratello!’, esclama Azucena alla fine dell’opera; la verità finalmente dichiarata annuncia un’alba di nuova consapevolezza, in cui il Conte di Luna dovrà decidere se e come continuare a vivere (‘E vivo ancor!’). La trama è ambientata nel XV secolo, epoca in cui gli artisti hanno espresso l’attenzione alla verità umana in un contesto di semplificazione geometrica delle composizioni, nella plastica monumentalità delle figure e nella cerimonialità dei gesti, nell’uso espressivo della luce. Nelle bassedanze - forma tutta italiana di intrattenimento cortese quasi meditativo - lo spazio contiene le evoluzioni dei corpi danzanti in porzioni rigorosamente simmetriche ed in coreografie tese alla ricerca dell’armonia tra gli opposti. Mi pare che le vicende dei protagonisti de Il trovatore si articolino in spazi emotivi altrettanto simmetrici. Motore della vicenda è la pressione della vendetta che pesa sull’animo di Azucena, che l’ha ricevuta dalla madre e che a sua volta inevitabilmente trasferisce sulle spalle di Manrico. Leonora attorniata dalle religiose nel convento e Manrico accompagnato dai carcerieri nel ‘miserere’ rappresentano momenti paralleli, come pure l’amore di Manrico e del Conte per Leonora, nella quale entrambi cercano la compensazione ed il coronamento dei propri sentimenti estremi. Nella stessa prospettiva, Manrico lascia Azucena per non perdere Leonora, ma in seguito abbandonerà quest’ultima per tentare di salvare la madre. Lo spazio di ispirazione quattrocentesca che proponiamo per questa regia de Il trovatore si pone come contesto in cui inscrivere proprio questa laboriosa e dolorosa, in fondo ed ovviamente tutta romantica ricerca della verità, intesa come armonizzazione degli opposti. In questo senso, nella proposta preliminare di Domenico Franchi la regia intende rappresentare anche i momenti che abitualmente vengono immaginati ‘fuori scena’, come l’aria iniziale ed il canto dalla torre del Trovatore, la cerimonia della presa dei voti di Leonora ed il miserere intorno a Manrico. Al rigore geometrico delle architetture che evocano il mondo del Conte di Luna si contrappone la rappresentazione dei Gitani, con una proposta coreografica flamenca nel coro ‘Chi del gitano i giorni abbella?’ Personaggio centrale della vicenda è Leonora. All’inizio giovane entusiasta ed inesperta nella gestione di sentimenti ancora sconosciuti e non misurati, sceglie di morire simbolicamente prendendo i voti quando pensa che Manrico sia morto. In seguito, quando Manrico stabilisce la priorità del proprio ruolo di figlio su quello di coniuge (‘era già figlio prima d’amarti, non può frenarmi il tuo martir’) e l’abbandona per correre a salvare la madre Azucena, Leonora evoca la morte come alternativa matura ad una realtà sentimentalmente sconfortante: ‘Non reggo a colpi tanto funesti… Oh quanto meglio saria morir!’ è il suo commento dopo l’aria ‘Di quella pira’. Questa presa di consapevolezza traccia l’inevitabile cammino Leonora verso la morte volontaria, vittima della notte del cuore, dominata dal conflitto tra l’amore barbaro ed appassionato del Conte ed il sentimento immaturo e deludente di Manrico. Nel finale dell’opera, la rappresentazione di una ‘pietà’ in cui Azucena regge il cadavere di Leonora, con il Conte di Luna disperato ai suoi piedi celebra l’alba in cui la luce della verità inaugura il riscatto dell’uomo dalla notte dell’ignoranza e della menzogna.   L'opera verrà presentata nell'ambito di ROVIGOCITTA'CHELEGGE, giovedì 2 febbraio alle 18 al Ridotto del Sociale   LA STAGIONE 22.23 DEL TEATRO SOCIALE DI ROVIGO è realizzata grazie al contributo e alla collaborazione di Ministero della Cultura, Regione del Veneto, Comune di Rovigo, Fondazione Cariparo, Fondazione Banca del Monte, Fondazione Rovigo Cultura, Banca del Veneto Centrale, Asm set, Arteven, Associazione Musicale Francesco Venezze, Conservatorio Statale di Musica Francesco Venezze.

The Man With the Golden Arm (Otto Preminger, 1955) Cast: Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Parker, Kim Novak, Arnold Stang, Darren McGavin, John Conte, Doro Merande, George E. Stone, George Matthews, Leonid Kinskey, Emile Meyer. Screenplay: Walter Newman, Lewis Meltzer, based on a novel by Nelson Algren. Cinematography: Sam Leavitt. Production design: Joseph C. Wright. Film editing: Louis R. Loeffler. Music: Elmer Bernstein. Under the Production Code, alcohol flowed freely, giving us lots of glamorous or lovable drunks. But drug use was strictly taboo, even when it was depicted as a road to degradation, until Otto Preminger thumbed his nose at the Code with The Man With the Golden Arm. Preminger's film is very much about the degradation, but he deftly avoided making it into a "problem picture" with a "just say no" moral tacked on, mainly by focusing on the character of Frankie Machine, played superbly by Frank Sinatra. When we first meet Frankie he's just gotten out of prison rehab and is determined to go straight and get a job as a drummer with a band. But he's saddled with a clinging wife called Zosh, played (and sometimes overplayed) by Eleanor Parker. She wants him to resume his old underground life as a card dealer rather than risk it as a musician, and couldn't care less if that life involves resuming the drugs provided by Louie (Darren McGavin). Zosh is, or so it seems, confined to a wheelchair after an auto accident in which Frankie was the driver, and after which he married her out of pity. In fact, she's just milking the supposed disability for all it's worth, and when no one's around she gets out of the chair and walks. The marriage to Zosh also put an end to Frankie's involvement with Molly, a b-girl in a strip club. She's played by Kim Novak, an actress whose beautiful blankness always allows us to project whatever the script wants us to see in her, as in her greatest film, Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958), in which her role is all about the male gaze and its effects. In this film her preternatural beauty seems out of place in the drab urban setting of the film, like an orchid in a junkyard. Anyway, as you can guess, Frankie gets hooked again and has to go cold turkey with Molly's help. The Man With the Golden Arm sometimes feels dated: Sam Leavitt's camerawork is often too bright and flatly lighted, showing up the artificiality of the soundstage sets. But the film works anyway, thanks to the solid dramatic effect produced by Sinatra's performance and the fine support from McGavin and character actor Arnold Stang, who gives a touching performance as Sparrow, a hanger-on devoted to Frankie. Elmer Bernstein's score is a classic, too, as is the  opening title sequence designed by Saul Bass.

Ocean's Eleven (1960)

La cuadrilla de los 11 / L'Inconnu de Las Vegas Action / Comédie

[zablife]

At dinner with Jack and his family for the first time (reader is his fiancée). Jack becomes utterly seething with jealousy when his brothers/nephews become too friendly with reader. Reader tries to calm him down at dinner when his temper reaches its limit, she places a gentle hand on his thigh and he takes her somewhere quiet where he can attentively and possessively (quite enjoyably and loudly for them, but much to his brother's dismay) relay his claim over her.

Jack Lays His Claim

(Warnings: 🔞, language, possessiveness, fucking within earshot of the family)

•It all began when Jack's teenage nephews ogled you in the entryway. Jack ignored them, however, laughing to himself when their voices cracked as they introduced themselves.

•His older brother, Patrick, was a different story altogether. Their rivalry went back to childhood and Jack felt his blood pressure increase when Patrick took your hand to escort you into the dining room. "It might be his house, but you're my goddamn girl" Jack thought, clenching his jaw and stomping after you.

•Of course Jack was proud to show you off in front of everyone, but the attention at the table with so many Nelsons was overwhelming. Everyone talked at once wanting to know more about the woman he'd proposed to just last month. You smiled demurely and tried to answer as best you could until Jack interjected. "For Christ's sake, would you let her eat in peace?"

•That's when Jack's younger brother decided to make his opinion known. "Can't let the lady speak for herself, Jack? With an old-fashioned attitude like that she might just leave you for a younger man, you know," he said cutting you a devilish grin. Your cheeks flushed hot at the notion and you could tell Jack was ready to explode in a fit of anger.

•Reaching under the table you squeezed his thigh gently and flashed him a reassuring smile to let him know you only had eyes for him. However, you noticed his leg bouncing with pent up energy and you knew he was agitated. Without warning he stood from the table, pulling you with him. "I need a word with my fiance," he said without further explanation and proceeded to lead you into the study adjacent to the dining room.

•"Jack, what on earth has gotten into you?" you said, looking down at his hand still firmly clasped around your wrist. He didn't answer as he pulled you into him and dug his hand into the back of your hair, pressing into you for a searing kiss that lasted longer than you had breath to fill it.

•Before you knew what was happening, Jack had hoisted you atop the large desk and began nipping at the side of your neck as he ran a hand along the inside of your thigh mumbling, "You're my girl, all mine."

"Who else would I belong to, Jack?" you said as he worked to unbutton his trousers.

"Show me," he said. "Please let me have you here," he begged and you reached down to feel his growing need for you. You bit your lip, nodding eagerly and that was all the permission he needed, burying himself to the hilt in one swift movement.

•You stifled a desperate cry with the back of your hand and Jack reached out to pull it away, holding you by your jaw to look him in the eye as he thrust into you with abandon. "Don't do that, doll. Make all your beautiful sounds for me, okay?" he panted. Your head fell back in pleasure, but you couldn't mistake the hint of a smirk in his tone when he instructed, "Need you to scream my name tonight."
