Has anyone ever lived in or stayed at a haunted house or other haunted location? I want to be scared so I'll have to sleep with the lights on.

More than 65 years after it was suppressed by the Army, a powerful and controversial John Huston documentary about soldiers suffering from the psychological wounds of war has been restored by the National Archives and debuts Thursday on the Web. “Let There Be Light” portrays GIs just back from the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific — trembling, stuttering, hollow-eyed and crying. Using a noir style, Huston filmed dozens of soldiers in unscripted scenes from their arrival at an Army psychiatric hospital on Long Island through weeks of often successful treatment, culminating in their release to go home. The restoration “reveals the film’s full force,” said Scott Simmon, a film historian and English department chairman at the University of California, Davis. Even after the Army approved its release in 1980, the poor quality of the prints and, in particular, the garbled soundtrack made it almost impossible to understand the whispers and mumbles of soldiers in some scenes. The restored soundtrack “makes the film speak in a way it never could before,” Simmon said in an interview. The film is striking for its potential relevance for a new generation of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, showing soldiers struggling to cope with what was then commonly called shell shock, and more formally labeled psychoneurosis, but is now known as post-traumatic stress disorder. “We hope that by making ‘Let There Be Light’ freely available — and by drawing attention to it — that the courageous documentary will find the audience it was intended to serve,” said Annette Melville, director of the National Film Preservation Foundation, which funded the restoration. The film, commissioned by the Army near the end of the war, was intended to prepare Americans for the realities of what combat had done to those sent to war but also to show that their psychological wounds could often be treated with therapy. But when it came time to release the film, the Army balked, claiming it violated the privacy of the soldiers involved. Huston never bought that explanation. “I think it boils down to the fact that they wanted to maintain the ‘warrior’ myth, which said that our Americans went to war and came back all the stronger for the experience, standing tall and proud for having served their country well,” Huston wrote years later in his autobiography. Sympathetic portrayals of wartime post traumatic stress “were swept under the rug” until after the Vietnam era, Simmon said in an essay he wrote about the film’s restoration for the preservation foundation. “Let There Be Light” is considered groundbreaking in documentary film history for its almost unprecedented use of unscripted interviews, according to Simmon. The film is also striking for showing the free and casual interaction of African American and white soldiers being treated at the integrated Army hospital. After the film was pulled, the Army commissioned a remake using actors to reenact the scenes filmed by Huston, giving all the speaking roles to whites.

I grew up believing that pork had to be well done and chops were served dry. Recently I have discovered pink pork, first in a restaurant and now at home. I buy the organic Berkshire and my god....pink is where it is at when it comes to the lean cuts of the piggy.

05/23/2012 The latest poll from Quinnipiac University shows President Obama with a six-point deficit in Florida, 41 percent to Mitt Romney’s 47 percent. Romney also gets much better ratings on the economy — 50 percent say that the Republican is better able to handle the economy, compared to 40 percent for Obama. Forty-four percent say that they approve of the president’s job performance, and his unfavorables have risen to 50 percent. Predictably, this poll has led to warnings of doom for President Obama. But I’m not too surprised by the outcome. Florida has only gone for the Democratic nominee in two of the last eight presidential elections — Bill Clinton in 1996 with 48 percent of the vote, and Obama in 2008 with 51 percent of the vote. What’s more, relative to their national vote totals, both presidents underperformed in Florida; Clinton by 1.2 percent and Obama by 1.9 percent. Given Florida’s demographics, it’s not hard to understand why the Sunshine State is less-than-friendly territory for Democratic candidates. In 2008, an excellent year for Democrats, 49 percent of Florida voters were above the age of 50, and 71 percent were white. Among whites, Obama lost every single age group by double digits; his best performance was among whites aged 18 to 29, whom he lost by 10 points, instead of 12.5 points for whites over the age of 45, and 22 points for whites aged 30 to 44. Florida also is hurting economically — it ranks near the top nationally for foreclosures, and it has a higher-than-average unemployment rate of 9 percent. When you combine this with the fact of its demographics — and its slim history of electing Democrats — then it’s no surprise that Obama faces a six-point deficit. Indeed, if Obama were tied with or leading Romney, it would amount to terrible news for the Republican nominee. Obama can win the presidency without Florida; because of its unique demographic profile — mostly white with a substantial portion of Republican-leaning Latinos — weakness there doesn’t translate to other vote-rich states such as Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio. By contrast, while it’s possible for Romney to win the presidency without Florida, it’s unlikely: He would be the first Republican to do so, ever. If this election is as close as it looks, then a Romney advantage in Florida should be expected.

Doing her bit for Romney I see.
I cant stop shaking or crying. I haven't consumed anything but nuts and wine in two days (less than a bottle of wine a night trying to get to sleep). I can't sleep. I am in a fog, and can't concentrate. I feel 'drugged' and lightheaded. I was thinking that I should see a dr, but do drugs help for 'situational' anxiety attacks? I don't want to get hooked on benzos or anti anxiety drugs.
Which one do you prefer? Or do you love both? What about French & Saunders? Is Jon Plowman one of the best producers ever? Is Miranda Hart the only one who was in both AbFab and Vicar of Dibley?
