With the arrival of the cold weather, Wilhelmina didn’t dare take George out of the warmth of the house, keeping him indoors, close to her and the heat of the fireplace. George was a child with a weak immune system, he was smaller than his siblings had been at his age and caught colds easily, even without leaving the house.

Wilhelmina didn’t want to risk him catching a more severe cold, knowing full well that the little one might not withstand it.

And so the days passed slowly. Wilhelmina grew accustomed to sitting by the fireplace with George, while the twins played nearby, keeping her company.

USS LANGLEY (CV-1) under reconstruction from the collier, USS JUPITER (AC-3), at Norfolk Navy Yard, Portsmouth, Virginia. She was the first US Navy ship built with turbo electric transmission propulsion. This system used steam to power a turbine connected to an electrical generator, to power the propeller motors and everything else on the ship. This allowed for greater fuel efficiency and had greater redundancies.

Scrooge (1951)

You know Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. It’s been adapted many times. If you can only include one adaptation in your holiday marathon, which one should you choose? My pick would be the 1951 version. You’ll have to do some research to find a properly restored version but no film has ever portrayed the legendary Ebenezer Scrooge as well as this one.

On Christmas Eve, money lender Ebenezer Scrooge (Alastair Sim) dismisses all warm sentiments. He wants nothing to do with his nephew, Fred (Brian Worth), refuses to give to the poor, and only reluctantly agrees to give his poor clerk Bob Cratchit (Mervyn Johns) Christmas Day off. Once home, the spirit of his former partner, Jacob Marley (Michael Corden), appears. The ghost warns Scrooge that his current behavior will damn him forever unless he changes his ways. To convince him, the spirits of Christmas Past (Michael Dolan), Present (Francis de Wolff) and Yet to Come (Cselaw Konarski) come to his door.

Besides the black-and-white photography, what distinguishes this interpretation is its darkness. We’re accustomed to seeing A Christmas Carol rendered with puppets, cartoon animals or sitcom casts but this is a scary story. The black-and-white cinematography adds mood to a tale of ghosts, eternal damnation, and haunting visions. It's frightening, particularly when Marley’s ghost shows Scrooge what fate awaits him. We see thousands of impotent phantoms roaming the earth, lamenting and screeching in a vain attempt to undo the wrongs they did in life. For a film made in 1951, the extensive special effects are impressive.

It’s a timeless tale that still rings true today and aside from the muddy sound and scratchy picture that may accompany lousy prints, this picture has aged remarkably well. Sim is a delight as Scrooge. He’s so cheap, so stubborn he refuses to acknowledge the obvious if it doesn’t suit him. This humor balances the gloom well and gives the story its trademark emotional highs and lows as we dig into the drama of this story. Through Scrooge's journey, we come to understand what made him the person he is today. No one watching could be as greedy as he is but try as you might to distance yourself from the miserable miser who declares Christmas to be humbug, you can't help but see a piece of you in him. If he can be saved, then anyone can be. It means there’s hope and hope is the essential sentiment at the heart of the Christmas season.

To a certain extent, everything that’s good about this adaptation can be found in another version of the story… except Alistair Sim, who brings the classic literary character to life like no one else. He’s funny, he’s loathsome and his performance is what makes this picture by Brian Desmond Hurst truly great. He nails it so perfectly, particularly in the film’s final scenes. On his own, he ensures the picture will imprint itself permanently into your head.

There are many different ways to see Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Before you check out more recent adaptations, see this one. The 1951 adaptation of Scrooge is the benchmark from which you’ll judge all other tellings of this story. (On Blu-ray, December 22, 2019)

"Photograph showing a one-third scaled model of the Saturn I Block II launch vehicle. Ground wind investigations form an indispensible part of the painstaking research program that lies behind successful flights of launch vehicles of all sizes, and the National Aeronautics And Space Administration Langley Research Center has specialized in such wind-tunnel studies for many years. Here, in a cooperative program with the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center, is an installation in Langley's Transonic Dynamics Tunnel of an aero-elastically scaled model of the Saturn I Block II launch vehicle with the Apollo spacecraft and its escape system. It is mounted on a turntable with the umbilical tower so that it can be rotated to receive the force of the wind stream from any direction. Before wind tunnel tests begin, the model is shaken mechanically to determine its vibration characteristics. Surface winds cause steady oscillatory deflection of free-standing launch vehicles which must be thoroughly understood to overcome problems in structural strength, guidance alignment, and instrument checkout. Wind-tunnel test results guide the design of launch pedestals to assure ample strength for any surface wind conditions."

13 Books

tagged by @sumire-no-nikki, thanks for tagging me! your answers definitely added new books to my tbr :)

1. The last book I read:

the last book i finished was Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. it was enormous and engrossing. i haven't had much luck finding something to follow it up with.

2. A book I recommend:

Cuddy by Benjamin Myers!! it's about saint cuthbert, durham, and durham cathedral, told in 4 parts that take place in approx. 600, 1300, 1800 and 2020 AD. it's totally magical, mythological and stunning.

3. A book that I couldn’t put down:

the glutton by A.K. Blakemore is my favourite book i've read so far this year. i was completely captivated by it, the prose was so exquisite, vivid and precise. i think of it constantly.

4. A book that I’ve read twice (or more):

i have re-read one of my all time favourite novels, The Sunken Land Begins to Rise Again, 4 times i think? it's damp, fleshy and weird. i find every sentence to be a total marvel.

5. A book on my TBR:

i have a ton of short story collections on my TBR because i read them so slowly (this is bc i write short fiction so i have to be really focused when i read it) including my final Karen Russell collection St Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves.

i've had such bad luck lately. I feel like I'm DNFing everything. The Variations by Patrick Langley.

7. A book on my wish list:

ALL of the upcoming releases by my favourite indie publishers <3

8. A favorite book from childhood:

mine is also A Series of Unfortunate Events! I actually think a lot of my current taste was defined by loving these books as a child. I also loved Little Women :)

9. A book you would give to a friend:

Kala by Colin Walsh was a really engaging recent read that I think a lot of people would enjoy. Also the Delivery by Margarita García Robayo for something quick and captivating.

10. A book of poetry or lyrics you own:

I don't read much poetry, so most of the poetry I have is borrowed from friends.

11. A nonfiction book you own:

A Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George Saunders - a book about analysing 19th century Russian short stories.

12. What are you currently reading:

The Manningtree Witches by A.K. Blakemore, which I'm not sure if i'll finish (feels weird bc her other novel The Glutton changed my brain chemistry, but it's just not as strong)

1, 3, 14, and 20 for Georgia/Langley from Pokemon!! Btw, thank you for sending me Burgundy on this character ask game. <3

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

I LOVE Georgia. Similar to Burgundy, I love how snarky she is and how much she’s willing to push her rival for a fair fight (Pokémon battle-wise). I think she has a really cool and unique design too and I’m glad she appeared in every Don George tournament alongside a few other episodes!

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Literally the fact that we got so few episodes with her- similar to Cilan and Burgundy, I wish her rivalry with Iris had been fleshed out a lot more. I also wish we’d gotten to see more battles between her and Iris, perhaps her and Burgundy, and others.

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Oh gosh…maybe like…a mix of grunge, cyberpunk, Y2K but also like soft indie? Georgia’s canon outfit is pretty cute in general with the newsboy cap, so I can see her pulling off pretty much anything. I definitely see her being on the sportier side of things though, and not being one for too many frills or feminine touches, which is more Burgundy’s speed.

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

Obviously, Burgundy is the first person that comes to mind, since they’ve had so much screentime together and are often seen making commentary together on the sidelines. Other than Burgundy, I also see her developing a really strong frenemy-ship with Iris (mainly because I headcanon that Georgia will eventually be one of Iris’s Elite 4). Other strong friendships I see include Trip (whom I ship Georgia romantically with, alongside Iris and Burgundy) and the other rivals from the Don George tournaments (Bianca, Stephan, etc.) In general, I see that group of rivals remaining very close and continuing to enter tournaments and hang out outside of Pokémon-related festivities.

Douglas Fairbanks, Marguerite De La Motte, and Robert McKim in The Mark of Zorro (Fred Niblo, 1920)

Cast: Douglas Fairbanks, Noah Beery, Charles Hill Mailes, Claire McDowell, Marguerite De La Motte, Robert McKim, George Periolat, Walt Whitman, Sidney De Gray, Tote De Crow. Screenplay: Douglas Fairbanks, Eugene Miller, based on a magazine story by Johnston McCulley. Cinematography: William C. McGann, Harris Thorpe. Art direction: Edward M. Langley.

Film firsts are usually worth checking out, and The Mark of Zorro is a double first: It's the first appearance of the title character on screen, and it's the first of the genre of films for which Douglas Fairbanks remains best-known, the swashbuckler. Since Fairbanks and co-scenarist Eugene Miller adapted Johnston McCulley's 1919 magazine story, "The Curse of Capistrano," the masked hero has been played by Tyrone Power, Guy Williams (in the Disney TV series), Frank Langella, George Hamilton (in a spoof featuring Zorro's gay twin brother), Alain Delon, and (as the aging Zorro and his hand-picked successor) Anthony Hopkins and Antonio Banderas, and appeared in numerous Mexican and European films. The trope of the do-gooder who pretends to be a wimp but turns into a force for justice has its precursor in the Baroness Orczy's play and novel The Scarlet Pimpernel and lives on in countless superhero tales, most notably the Clark Kent/Superman story. As the languid fop Don Diego Vega, Fairbanks affects a weary slouch and spends his time doing tricks that involve a handkerchief. When he turns into Zorro, with mask and scarf over his head, he pastes on a little mustache oddly reminiscent of Boris Badenov, and succeeds in taking on the villains with great élan. The film itself begins slowly, with too much exposition crammed into the intertitles, but eventually Fairbanks gets his act together, and the climax of the movie is a hilarious showpiece for his acrobatic moves. He leads the Capistrano constabulary on a merry chase over walls and across rooftops, inevitably tempting them into disaster: He leaps over a pigsty, for example, whereupon the pursuers fall into it. At the end, revealing his secret identity, he wins the hand of Lolita Pulido (Marguerite De La Motte), by saving her family's estate from the clutches of the evil governor (George Periolat) and his henchmen, Capitán Juan Ramon (Robert McKim) and Sgt. Pedro Gonzales (Noah Beery), both of whom get branded with the emblematic Z (though the sergeant gets his only in the seat of his pants). Good fun, once it gets going.
