Do not forsake me, My Darling. (High Noon)

Frankie Laine sings the song  that ruled our world  when this movie came out.  Another big movie of the past.

Play it, Sam

Oh, how we loved Ingrid Bergman, she was the idol of the women of the world, and this song, became a monster hit...the story of the French Resistance charmed the world with it 's bravery....they made it possible for the Allies to win the war...for their work...all highly dangerous...but then that is another story!

Deborah Kerr tells the funny story...

I can't imagine anyone else playing the part ....of Deborah, can you.....especially not Joan Crawford....Deborah was so much more suited for the roll, but again, I saw the movie and it was ingrained in me...so what can I say?

The Most Romantic Performance On Film: "From Here To Eternity"

Here is another scene to whet your appetite, I would like to see the film again, it would be a great gift for someone who love movies.
Just think how many young girls learned to express their love like this....she was great!

From Here to Eternity (1953) - Montgomery Clift and Frank Sinatra

What made this movie so fantastic....was it the characters, played by our great stars of the time, or ...the scene on the beach...that never leaves our minds...

(HD 720p) "If I Loved You" (Carousel - Reprise), Gordon MacRae

This knocks me down, it is so beautiful, I wondered when I heard Frank, if I was right that Gordon really clinched the role and the songs....I wondered if I had pre conceived notions ,and I did, but I think I was right....Gordon Mac Rae was wonderful in the movie and the songs suit his voice to a T...don't you think so?

If I loved You - Frank Sinatra

Shirley Jones on Siriusly Sinatra was telling the story about Frank Sinatra ...he was to play in Carousel with her, but when he found out he would have to shoot scenes twice, he walked off the set....and the producer asked Shirley to call Gordon MacRae, who took the part.  So, I thought about how the movie would have sounded had Frank taken the part instead of Gordon Mac Rae....  here is Frank, , next is Gordon MacRae

Distant Planets on MSN Photos

Distant Planets on MSN Photos  these are wonderful, years ago, I knew someone whose eyes looked like this every morning....

Meet Juvenon, its great in my opinion

Juvenon, is something I believe in, and this notice about foods that are important, is something I believe in too. Now, with the garden season here, I make sure I stuff my husband with as many veggies as possible.  In fact I gave him so many that his blood thinned out without the blood thinner...Oh Oh!

Green veggies help to thin your blood, lots of dark green is best.  Celery is a miracle, it is fiber, and cleaning your blood while you eat it...anyway  here is the news from the experts...

I fell hard, 4 feet off the dock into a boat last winter, serious bruises, but no broken bones....I think it was the Juvenon that kept my bones from breaking...The fall was a real duzy!

Juvenon is interesting....you can look up the products here .

Eight Ways to Up Your Healthy Omega-3 Fat Intake

By Ann Lindemann, Senior Health Writer

Chances are you’ve heard about the mega health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. These polyunsaturated fats, which play a crucial role in cell function, are also helpful in reducing harmful inflammation that can be a harbinger to heart disease. What’s more, omega-3s have also been found to decrease triglyceride levels and blood pressure and may help to prevent fatal heart arrhythmias.

But here’s the rub: your body can’t produce omega-3s. That’s why you’ve got to be diligent about making sure your diet provides plenty of this healthy fat. Some of these eight sources are well known, while others may surprise you.
  1. Seafood – The Harvard School of Public Health conducted an analysis of 20 studies and found that eating approximately one to two 3-ounce servings of fatty fish a week-salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, or sardines – reduces the risk of dying from heart disease by 36%.
  2. Oils – Not all oils are created equal. Opt for flaxseed oil or olive oil on salads and consider canola or soybean oil for a nice hit of the omega-3, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA is converted by the body (albeit poorly in older folks) into the more functionally important Omega-3s, Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
  3. Beans – An unexpected rich source of omega-3s can be found in many beans, including the kidney, pinto and black varieties.
  4. Nuts and Seeds – Add a nutty flavor and texture punch to salads, yogurt or oatmeal with walnuts or flaxseed. A small handful of either will tastefully up your omega-3 intake.
  5. Spinach – Popeye knew his stuff. This tasty and versatile leafy green is as at home in a salad as sautéed and added to your favorite whole-grain pasta dish.
  6. Winter Squash – This satisfying omega-3 rich veggie makes an interesting side dish.
  7. Broccoli & Cauliflower – Cruciferous cousins, these two veggies are on your side when it comes to omega-3s.
  8. Dietary Supplements – Still having trouble getting your full dose of daily omega 3s? You might want to consider taking a supplement, especially if you have heart disease or high triglycerides. To be on the safe side, discuss any new supplement with a trusted health care professional first.

Fallen Angel by Daniel Silva

Product DetailsJust finished this, it kept my attention, though I have been busier than I have ever been.  Now is the time to take stock....I love the Kindle because I can take a number of books with me when I travel, but I prefer to read on the I-pad, rather than the Kindle.....now for the important news that all readers like to hear.....My favorite way to read, is to hold a book and get away from the electronics we use all day to do our work.  So I bought a hard cover copy of this, and carried it around with 4 other books I am reading in hard copy and 4 that are on my Kindle in sample form to consider for purchase.   This book is interesting, in the style of the mystery novels so popular today, it kept my interest while reading the other books in between.  The story line is to solve a murder and it ties in with the real  ( in make believe) undercover art world of thieves and deception that has been going on for so long.  The Vatican bank scandal is briefly part of the story, as are the mysterious chambers of the Vatican.  The change of locations,the undercover agents,  the unusual murder of a thief, all will  keep your interest.
