BK, Jack the Ripper is one of those topics on which I have many a volume...a whole shelf of books. Richard III's the same way...I'mm firmly in the camp that he was innocent of most of the chrges levelled against him, especially offing the Princes in the Tower. I collect lots of periods of British history...Celtic/Roman; Elizabethan; Restoration; Regency...and with a special emphasis on n'er-do-wells, rake-hells, highwaymen, duellists, Bow-Street Runners...and other aspects of the English crime, vice, and the underworld.

I'm back from the week from hell. Oy.

First things first:

Speedy recoveries to Elmore and TomofOz!!

I read a lot of non-fiction (in fact, probably three or four times as much as fiction), so my list would be very long indeed. However, in researching this new book I'm writing, I've been reading two very interesting books for those interested in religious history and occult orders: The Second Messiah and The Templars. Both are quite excellent. Do NOT read them if you are a Christian fundamentalist.

Our very own Charles Edward Pogue was mentioned by name today in a full page (at least full above the listings) Oregonian review of Hercules. Sorry to say the review was a bit on the mixed side, but the reviewer did say he felt the "murkiness" was due in part to the show having been edited down to 3 hours. Good luck on Hercules' battle with the Barone family tonight!!!

Oh, BK, Donald Rumbelow, who wrote the Ripper book was a former Scotland Yard or Metropolitan Police Officer and had access to all the Ripper material in the police files. He's considered one of the foremost experts on the Ripper. The Lovely Wife and I took a Ripper tour which was conducted by Rumbelow. Done at night. Very atmospheric!

DR MBarnum, last night you commented that you were the only one here who watches Survivor. You forgot about me! Let me guess, you loved the finale. Me I hated it! I thought Ian was stupid. I just didn't like Tom (although I suppose I should have since I'm always saying i like the best to win). Me I liked Steph. I just didn't like the finale at all. Not at all interesting. I was sort of starting to respect tom (for saying he'd keep his word and keep ian). But then he went and voted for him over jen (was really unimpressed with that). And it went downhill from there.

Wow! What did you think Ian was "intending" when he spoke to Katie and Jenn about voting Tom out? Does that sound like someone who was going to "honor" an agreement?

Ian made his own bed....he outsmarted himself. Tom reacted the right way. Katie should have voted for Ian as well.

Tom confronted Ian who confessed. Did that mean nothing to you?

Tom played the game the best...and he played it with honor. Even Greg, Katie and Jenn were planning to vote out Tom when they were on the yacht.

Greg and Ian, both, were plotting to dishonor their agreement with Tom before Tom found them out.

Nope. Law And Order: Trial By Jury is being replaced by Law And Order: Electric Boogaloo.

I think it's making it through the filters since the filters aren't catching the German words.

Although I had heard it was to be Law & Order: CSI

No, there won't be any video or audio record of the show. Equity rules are fairly stringent on points like this so shows such as these will have to live on in memory.

BTW, Anthony's partner in Bicycle is Cristiane Young. That number has been a favorite of all the audiences.

HMMM I haven't gotten any German spam, however the Nigerians have been quite insistent on giving me the money of every multimillionaire (who knew there were so many?) who has died in the country in the past week. Apparrently there has been quite a rash of multimillionaire deaths, must be tainted money!!

I don't know how well this will show up but here is a publicity shot of Anthony and two others from the show, Bennet Pologe (who plays "the Chairman") and Christina Harrop, one of the ensemble

Re: Jack the Ripper. What do you who are in the know think about that mystery writer (sorry, can't remember her name right now) who says she's definitively proven the Ripper was some English artist (can't remember his name, either--my I'm getting forgetful in my old age).

We got a notice in our work e-mail boxes this morning from our IT person about the German spam. Apparently there has been a huge outbreak of spam and, as Jose said, it doesn't get caught by the filters because it's in German!

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #75 on:** May 16, 2005, 10:23:23 AM »

JMK, I would say your reviewer is right on the money. I'm not expecting particularly good reviews. It's very hard for anything that was intended for four hours and ends up three to have the resonance and depth it was suppose to have.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #76 on:** May 16, 2005, 10:25:16 AM »

OK... "The Young & The Restless" is over... Time for me to get off the couch.

Oh dear, that is disappointing. You really have to wonder at these network typed that spend all this money on a project and then mess up the presentation.

I was one of a handful of people invited to partake in a Master Class taught by Robert Bly during my college years (this was long before he was a relative household name). Mr. Bly was very good friends with one of my major writing teachers, Robert Mezey (whom I will always remember as one of the few college profs I had who had a roach clip clipped to his belt). Mr. Bly did a great symposium on masks, both figurative and literal. He brought a bunch of very interesting masks with him that the 5 or 6 of us in the class got to wear.

DR Jennifer, you are correct, I was quite happy with Tom's win...of everyone who was playing this season I think he was most deserving...well, maybe Bobby John would be just as deserving.

The finale was different, that is for sure...I think that if Ian had told Tom to take him to the end, Tom would have....but Tom's taking Katie assured him a win, and since Ian told him to take Katie he made the move that would help him win.

Charles Pogue · « **Reply #85 on:** May 16, 2005, 10:50:40 AM »

JMK, it's Patricia Cornwell and her book is PORTRAIT OF A KILLER, where she says artist,Walter Sickert, is the killer. I haven't read her book yet, so I don't know what new evidence she may or may not bring to her case, but it is hardly the first time Sickert has been bandied about as the Ripper...notably JACK THE RIPPER: THE FINAL SOLUTION by Stephen Knight in 1976 and SICKERT & THE RIPPER CRIMES by Jean Overton Fuller in 1990. In JACK THE RIPPER: A to Z, by three noted Ripperologists, Paul Begg, Martin Fido, and Kenneth Skinner (with a foreword by another, Donald Rumbelow) states that most of the evidence and stories suggesting Sickert remain uncorrobated and extreme caution should be used in considering him the killer. Maybe Cornwell's come up with something new...but it seems to me, I remember some skepticism when the book first came out.
