With his heroic physique, Jean Marais (1913-1998) was France’s answer to Errol Flynn, the epitome of the swashbuckling romantic hero of French cinema. The blonde and incredibly good-looking actor played over 100 roles in film and on television and was also known as a director, writer, painter and sculptor. His mentor was the legendary poet and director Jean Cocteau, also his lover.
Jean-Alfred Villain-Marais was born in 1913 in Cherbourg, France. He endured a turbulent childhood. When he was born, on the eve of World War I, his mother refused to see him. Her only daughter had died a few days before. When Marais' father returned from the war, the five-year-old Jean didn't remember him, and his father slapped him. His mother promptly packed her three children off to their grandmother's, and Jean grew up fatherless. He attended the Lycee Condorcet, a prestigious private school, where some of his future film partners also studied, such as Louis de Funes and Jean Cocteau, and the faculty had such figures as Jean-Paul Sartre. At 13, Marais had to leave the Lycee Condorcet, after gamingly flirting in drag with a teacher. He was placed in a Catholic boarding school, but at 16, he left school and became involved in amateur acting. As a child, he dreamed of becoming an actor but was twice rejected when he applied to drama schools. He took a job as a photographer's assistant and had acting classes with Charles Dullin. In 1933 Marcel L'Herbier gave him a bit part in L’Épervier/The Casting Net (1933) starring Charles Boyer. This was followed by more small parts in films by L’Herbier, in L'Aventurier/The Adventurer (1934), Le Bonheur/Happiness (1935), Les Hommes nouveaux/The New Men (1936), and Nuits de feu/The Living Corpse (1936). Marais also appeared in Abus de confiance/Abused Confidence (Henri Decoin, 1937), and Drôle de drame/Bizarre, Bizarre (Marcel Carné, 1937).
In 1937, then-24-year-old Jean Marais met Jean Cocteau at a stage rehearsal of 'Oedipe-Roi' (King Oedipus). They fell in love and would remain close friends until Cocteau died in 1963. Cocteau became his surrogate father, and he was Cocteau's surrogate son. Cocteau had a major influence on Marais’ career. In 1938 he cast him as Galahad in the stage play 'Les Chevaliers de La Table Ronde' (The Knights of the Round Table), and wrote the film L'Éternel retour with him in mind. With L’Éternal retour/The Eternal Return (Jean Delannoy, 1943), Marais made his big break in the cinema. This was the turning point in his life and the start of a film career spanning nearly sixty years. In the following years, he appeared in almost every one of Cocteau's films: La Belle et la bête/Beauty and the Beast (Jean Cocteau, Jean Delannoy, 1946), L'Aigle à deux têtes/The Eagle Has Two Heads (Jean Cocteau, 1947), Les Parents terribles/The Storm Within (Jean Cocteau, 1948), and Orphée/Orpheus (Jean Cocteau, 1950). After the Allies liberated Paris in August 1944, he joined France's Second Armored Division and served as a truck driver carrying fuel and ammunition to the front. Later he was decorated with the Croix de Guerre for his courage. During the war, Marais was engaged to his film partner, actress Mila Parély, and their engagement was blessed by Cocteau, who wanted Marais to be happy. Marais and Mila Parély separated after two years, and shortly after they worked together again in La Belle et la bête/Beauty and the Beast (1946). His double role as the beast and the prince in this classic film made Marais an international teen idol.
During the 1950s, Jean Marais became a dashing sword master, dazzling his audiences with impressive French swashbuckling adventures, in which he performed his own stunts. Le Comte de Monte Cristo/The Count of Monte Cristo (Robert Vernay, 1955), Le Bossu/The Hunchback of Paris (André Hunebelle, 1959), and Le Capitaine Fracasse/Captain Fracasse (Pierre Gaspard-Huit, 1961) all enjoyed great box office popularity in France. Marais would become one of the most admired and celebrated actors of his generation and star in international productions directed by Jean Renoir (Elena et les hommes/Elena and Her Men, 1956), Luchino Visconti (Le Notti bianche/White Nights, 1957), Cocteau (Le testament d'Orphée/The Testament of Orpheus, 1959), and others. During the 1960s and 1970s, he went on to appear in such popular adventure comedies as the Fantômas (André Hunebelle, 1964-1967) trilogy, co-starring with Louis de Funes and Mylène Demongeot.
Jean Marais was equally impressive in the theatre, appearing in such plays as 'Britannicus,' 'Pygmalion' and 'Cher Menteur' at the Théâtre de Paris, Théâtre de l'Atelier, and the Comédie Francaise. He spent his later years living in his house in Vallauris, in the South of France where he was involved in painting, sculpture and pottery, and was visited by Pablo Picasso and other cultural figures. His monument Le passe muraille/The Walker Through Walls, honouring French author Marcel Aymé, can be seen in the Montmartre Quarter in Paris. After a long retirement, Jean Marais returned to filmmaking in the mid-1980s with choice character roles in such films as Parking (Jacques Demy, 1985). In 1993 he was awarded an honourable César. Marais made his final film appearance in Bernardo Bertolucci's Io ballo da sola/Stealing Beauty (1996) starring Liv Tyler. That year he received France's highest tribute, the Legion of Honour for his contribution to the French cinema. Jean Marais died of heart failure in 1998, in Cannes. He had an adopted son, Serge Marais.

i used to wonder when i was younger why didnt ariel just write eric like explaining now after some time i fiinnaly found the answer :P
ariel:"Dear Eric, I'm actually a Mermaid Princess from the Sea. My beefcake father is an embittered, right wring racist who threw a fit when he found my secret horde of fetishistic treasure which included a statue of you. After this, I sold my soul and my voice to a fat purple octopus witch despite the protestations of my best friends - a racially stereotyped crab and an age inappropriate gay fish. Now I have to get you to fall in love with me in the space of 72 hours." THAT'S WHY.

The other day somebody was asking me how I deal with bears in my job, and what type of gun I carry in the bush. Since I'm packing this morning for another months worth of fun in NE BC, I thought I'd answer with a photo. I do not carry a gun while I am working. Not only do I think it's a bad idea, it's also simply too much to carry, and on many jobs, we are prohibited from having firearms anyway. When there are bears and guns in the same area, bears end up getting shot. I can think of too many times when if I had been carrying a gun, I would have shot a bear during a negative encounter that ended up with both parties walking away without any real physical contact. Because of the nature of our work, I often have to break the first rule of working in bear country, which is, "Let the bear know you are there". Bear bells, yelling, singing, clapping hands etc, are the best ways for people to avoid negative run ins with bears. I often don't have that luxury because I am supposed to be observing other wildlife, and this requires stealth. Thus, bird biologists tend to have far more negative encounters with bears than most folks who work in the bush, because we tend to bump into them at close quarters far more often. So, you have to be ready to deal with them, and the photo above shows what I carry to do that. From the left;
Banger Pen and various cartridges: Basically it's a piece of metal the size of a felt pen with a spring inside, a sliding "trigger" on the side, and threads on the end where a cartridge can be screwed on or off. The cartridges either just explode like a very loud firecracker, or shoot up to 100 meters away before exploding. Some whistle very loud as they fly. Others are just extremely bright flares. We carry these loaded and ready to go, and we use them fairly frequently. I will often carry many more cartridges than what is shown here. There are areas in the NW part of BC where I have had to fire these over 30 times in a single season. Bears generally disappear after the first shot, but I have seen bears that completely ignore them. Once a black bear that was exhibiting predatory behavior followed us for several kms, and when we stopped he began circling us, and ended up charging us six times. Each time it charged, we fired another banger and it would back off a meter or two. On the last charge two bangers went off in it's face, and it left. Again, had I been carrying a gun.......
I also carry two cans of bear spray. Why two? Well, it's the policy of the company I work for, and I have heard stories of somebody really needing one of these in a pinch, and one can being unpressurized for some reason. That would, to put it mildly, suck. I have never had to deploy this stuff on bears, but it's been close a time or two. I did have to spray a pack of half wild dogs on a reserve one time. It works really well, and completely incapacitates anything that gets it in their face, without doing any permanent damage.
The last line of defense is the big knife. Again, I've never had to use it, but it's there in case. I have heard quite a few stories where an enraged charging bear got a quick poke on the nose from a knife, hiking pole, or rock hammer, and it ran off the other way bawling. This is the hope anyway. This particular knife also comes in handy for clearing heli-pads of willows and alders, and that seems to be it's main function most of the time.

The Answer e The Dead Daisies (la band capitanata da John Corabi, ex-Motley Crue), due grandi band del rock'n'roll moderno insieme per un co-headlining tour, il 29 novembre a Milano, ai Magazzini Generali.
Un duo micidiale che tutti gli amanti della musica rock non potranno perdere.
The Answer hanno raggiunto il successo con il loro album di debutto Rise con oltre 100.000 copie vendute in tutto il mondo. Il gruppo fu fondato dal chitarrista Paul Mahon e da Cormac Neeson coinvolgendo il bassista Micky Waters, un vecchio compagno di scuola che aveva già fatto parte di numerose cover band intorno a Belfast, e James Heatley, che aveva suonato in un live degli Ash.
Il leader dei Def Leppard Joe Elliott ha dichiarato apertamente di essere un loro fan e Jimmy Page ha addirittura affermato "Se volete vedere come eravamo noi Zeppelin negli anni'70 ascoltatevi The Answer".
Cormac Neeson - voce
Paul Mahon - chitarra

About two dozen McMinnville High School engineering students toured the South Yamhill River Bridge Replacement Project in McMinnville this spring for a real-life look at some of the things they’d learned in class.
This project replaces the 1951 South Yamhill River Bridge on a busy route into and out of McMinnville. The new bridge will be 48 feet wide, compared to the old bridge at 35 feet, and it will better accommodate large trucks, bicycles and pedestrians.
Construction began in 2021, and we expect to finish the project by the end of 2024

Lesson Seventy-Three
A brave and passionate man will kill or be killed.
A brave and calm man will always preserve life.
Of these two which is good and which is harmful?
Some things are not favored by heaven. Who knows why?
Even the sage is unsure of this.
The Tao of heaven does not strive, and yet it overcomes.
It does not speak, and yet is answered.
It does not ask, yet is supplied with all its needs.
It seems at ease, and yet it follows a plan.
Heaven's net casts wide.
Though its meshes are coarse, nothing slips through.

A little reminder. One inlet and one exhaust valve from RPE 504 X, aka "Rupert", the 1981/2 BMW 323i mk1 that I owned for about a year. Foolishly bought from a shady trader in London who lied to me about all sorts of stuff. I drove it home from London safely enough, went out from home for a play with my new toy later on, and the first time I went over 4500rpm the cambelt snapped, as a result of having been soaked in engine oil from from a leaking seal for ages... valves argued with pistons, etc...
So I kept one bent inlet and one bent exhaust valve, and mounted them on a small piece of oak, and had a small brass plaque engraved...
Don't just look - THINK!
A lesson I will not readily forget.

This is the cassette deck used to record incoming message. It is actually much the same mechanism as was used in Fergusson tape recorders of the same period -- not surprising as both brands were owned by Thorn (TCE).
The PCB on top of this deck is the bias/erase oscillator.
Also visible are the top side of the motor housing (above the PCB), the heads, tape drive components and the main volume control (above the operating keys).
An unidentified member of the American Nazi Party (with swastika armband) reads hate literature attacking the Jewish faith and African Americans to David Hartsough (left with glasses) and Laurence Henry (right) at the Drug Fair at 3815 Lee Highway in Arlington, Virginia on June 9, 1960.
Hartsough, with a small Bible in his hand, and Henry were part of an interracial group staging a sit-in to desegregate Arlington restaurants and lunch counters. Henry responded to the Nazi by reading passages from his Bible.
Henry was the leader of a group of Howard University students that formed the core of the Non-Violent Action Group (NAG) along with white students from other schools.
The sit-in demonstrations at People’s Drug Store, Drug Fair, Landsburgh’s, Woolworth’s and the Howard Johnson’s in Arlington were successful and most restaurants and lunch counters in the city desegregated within weeks of the protests in 1960.
The group moved on to Maryland the same year where they staged ultimately successful demonstrations to desegregate Glen Echo Amusement Park, the Hi-Boy restaurant in Rockville and the Hiser Theater in Bethesda.
