Project dossier3/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Joshua Leonard's biographical sketch from Professor Michael DeCoto's film class. She worked as a videographer for countless weddings and bar mitzvahs, simultaneously planning her first major project, a documentary on the story of her grandfather's that both fascinated and frightened her the most-the legend of the Blair Witch. Once her family moved to Maryland in 1991, Heather began studying video production at Montgomery College in Rockville. She made it her mission to investigate and document the origins of these stories, primarily as an act of preservation. ![]() Some of Heather's earliest memories are of her grandfather's tales of the ghosts and witches said to haunt the area. Virtually every summer, however, she would visit with her grandparents, Randy and Sadie Donahue, who lived in Fredrick County, Maryland. This not only adds an extra dimension to the film, it also turns the now-iconic “I’m sorry” scene on its head.īorn on August 17, 1972, Heather Donahue lived most of her live in New York City. The real treat here, however, is the reproduction of Heather’s journal from the website, a running commentary actually written by the actress herself during the film shoot that contains the aforementioned bombshell twist not mentioned in the film itself: Heather was sending energy out to the Blair Witch well before she and her student colleagues set foot in the woods, hoping to coax the ghost out in order to document her on film. It’s like having a Blair Witch-specific Wikipedia (such as this one) right there on your book shelf. The comprehensiveness of this book cannot be overstated – it is more of an encyclopedia, indexing progress reports from private investigator Buck Buchanan to Angie Donahue (Heather’s mother, and his client) and collecting photographs of the various crime scenes. The result was The Blair Witch Project: A Dossier, which takes all of the information from the website, combines it with a number of the personalities from the documentary Curse of the Blair Witch (along with a smorgasbord of new info), and cements it in print form. Stern came up with a brilliant idea: rather than doing a standard novelization, they would further the deceitful marketing premise stating that the film's events actually happened by providing a collection of every last bit of information out there on the student filmmakers, on the city of Burkittsville, and, of course, on the Blair Witch herself. When a tie-in book to The Blair Witch Project to was called for by Artisan and publisher Onyx, author D.A. Has anyone else checked it out? It’s so cringe it’s hard to listen to, honestly.The Blair Witch Project: A Dossier (cover) It’s a targeted and truly mind-blowing mental gymnastics. Not choosing a victim mindset is NOT the same as someone being a victim of abuse. I’m genuinely deeply sad for them that they’ve been manipulated to a point of a lack of compassion - and an inability to separate the concept of “being a victim” from “being victimized”. I completely grasp, personally, how they could walk themselves down that rabbit hole. ![]() Lemme just say - I have been through self help courses like NXIVM and their abuse of the language and tools is absolutely nutso. And Clyne has now started speaking out in very careful language. soooo” basically invalidating the experience of the victims by saying it wasn’t like that for them. The essential thrust of it is “Keith and DOS wasn’t like that for US. As if the crazy couldn’t get anymore next level, the women who still support Keith and DOS have started an incredibly tone deaf website/project called DOSsier. I’ve seen people post asking about how the other members of DOS have not been brought in yet. ![]()

Legend of mana remastered review3/2/2023 ![]() ![]() And while this port is an excellent remaster, it’s not a remake, and doesn’t take great strides to onboard modern players. Yes, there are definite differences between say, Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana, but Legend of Mana really tries to do a lot of new things, while at the same time doing a poor job of explaining virtually anything to new players. While the Mana games that preceded this have mostly been straight forward action-RPG’s, Legend of Mana changes up the formula quite a bit. For everyone else, maybe read on a bit more before making that decision. M2, the developer behind this port, continues to impress with another excellent release of an older, but maybe not beloved, classic game.ĭon’t get me wrong, I have no doubt that there are people out there that absolutely love Legend of Mana, and if that person is you, then I’d just stop reading this review and go ahead and plan on picking this up when it drops this week. The upscaled resolution loses none of the detail from the original game, the new 16×9 aspect ratio actually works out well, and a couple modern conveniences like a new Quick Save feature are certainly appreciated. The remastered version of Legend of Mana, dropping this week for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC, just helps to emphasize how good the game looks. Legend of Mana instead focused on 2D character sprites, with vibrant colors, and gorgeous backdrops for the multiple locations featured throughout. Released in 1999/2000 for the original PlayStation, it was an extremely nice looking 2D game in an era that was mostly focused on 3D, polygonal characters and worlds.

Hydra island3/2/2023 ![]() ![]() It is also a popular yachting destination. Its busy but quaint harbor bobbing with rustic fishing boats and luxury yachts is surrounded by a ring of rocky hills and blanketed with whitewashed homes. It features plenty of bays and natural harbors. The islands main town, also called Hydra, is one of Greeces prettiest. Public transportation is via water taxis. On Hydra Island motorcycles and cars are forbidden. Passenger ferries run between Hydra and Metochi (Peloponnese / mainland Greece). Regularly scheduled hydrofoils from Piraeus serve Hydra as the second port of call (after Poros Island and followed by Spetses Island). The island is usually accessed via hydrofoils and catamarans from Piraeus-Athens (approx 70 km / 43 mi to the north). Most of the visitors are domestic (mainly from the country's capital city Athens /on mainland Greece). Most of the town's tourist attractions (galleries, shops, markets, bars, tavernas / restaurants) are located near the harbor. The island's main town Idra (aka "Hydra port") has population around 2,000. The Hydra municipality consists of Hydra Island (total area 52 km2 / 20 mi2), Dokos Island (14 km2 / 5 mi2), plus several uninhabited smaller isles. Hydra (from the Greek word for "water") is a reference to the island's springs. Box 2009, Edmonds, WA 98020.Hydra Island is part of the Saronic Islands (Greece), located in the Aegean Sea. Rick Steves ( writes European travel guidebooks and hosts travel shows on public television and public radio. It is unclear which of these represents Hydra Island. (' Some Like It Hoth ') Rousseaus map depicts at least 9 offshore islands. Today visitors only have to count the yachts to figure out that Hydra’s economy is still based on the sea. Hydra Island is a small island sitting off the coast of the main island.The island takes its name from the DHARMA Initiatives Hydra, located there. Canadian songwriter Leonard Cohen lived here for a time-and was inspired to compose his beloved song “Bird on the Wire” after observing just that here on Hydra. Thanks largely to the film, by the 1960s Hydra had become a favorite retreat for celebrities, well-heeled tourists, and artists and writers, who still draw inspiration from the idyllic surroundings. And the movie’s plot-in which a precious ancient sculpture is at risk of falling into the hands of a greedy art collector instead of being returned to the Greek government-still resonates with today’s Greeks, who want to reclaim their heritage for the Acropolis Museum. In 1956, Sophia Loren came here to play an Hydriot sponge-diver in the film Boy on a Dolphin, propelling the little island onto an international stage. Gathering sponges kick-started the local economy and kept Hydra afloat. During those lean post-war years, Hydriots again found salvation in the sea, farming the sponges that lived below the surface (sponge-divers here pioneered the use of diving suits). Greece won its independence, but at a great cost to Hydra, which lost many of its merchant-turned-military ships to the nding the island into a deep economic funk. Hydriots of note from this period include the naval officer Andreas Miaoulis, who led the “firebrands” and their deadly “fireships,” which succeeded in decimating the Ottoman navy and Lazaros Kountouriotis, a wealthy shipping magnate who donated his fleet to the cause. The harbor, with its twin forts and plenty of cannon, housed and protected the fleet of 130 ships. When the Greeks launched their War of Independence in 1821, Hydra emerged as a leading naval power. Hydra’s prosperity earned it the nickname “Little England.” As rebellion swept Greece, the island flourished as a safe haven for those fleeing Ottoman oppression. Hydra enjoyed its glory days in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the island was famous for its shipbuilders. Many Hydriot merchants became wealthy running the British blockade of French ports during the Napoleonic Wars. ![]() The fate of Hydriots has always been tied to the sea, which locals have harnessed to their advantage time after time. ![]() While it seems tiny and low-key, overachieving Hydra holds a privileged place in Greek history. ![]()

Eft nostalgia3/2/2023 ![]() My youngest brother and sister were both in nappies at some stage together during this time, and to think of the effort required to wash those nappies, yuck! Incomprehensible to the disposable consumers of today’s society. When I think about it now, I really don’t know how mum did it! Mum must have been a superwoman, in fact she was a superwoman! And all done with tender love, care and patience. The process of wringing and rinsing would be repeated again, often a few times. Powerful arms and hands mum must have had! The item would then be placed into the trough filled with clean, cold water for rinsing. Mum would use the paddle or pole to retrieve an item from the copper, hold it up until the excess water had drained away, fold the item in half, place the centre point around the tap over the trough and commence twisting, eliminating as much water she could until she couldn’t twist any longer. Though I do remember mum wringing out the larger items that she couldn’t complete effectively by hand or those she perhaps couldn’t fit through the wringer. Placing the washing between the rollers then turning the handle to squeeze out the excess water before the item dropped into the trough for rinsing helped to make things a lot easier.įor some reason I don’t remember a wringer in our laundry but there must have been one. Some coppers had a mangle (wringer) attached to them or to the trough making the wringing function easier. Next to the copper was the deep, double cement trough where the wringing and rinsing took place. Eventually when mum thought that step completed, the clothes then needed wringing, to be rinsed, and finally wrung again before being tossed into the cane laundry basket, and carted outside to be pegged onto the clothes line. The items would soak in the boiling sudsy water, occasionally stirred with the paddle or pole. The Lux flakes would be added to the boiling water and stirred by a wooden paddle or pole to create the suds, usually I was allowed this job, sometimes Reckitts Blue was added as a whitener, then finally the clothes to be washed would be tipped into the copper. And, as the eldest, I was mum’s helper more often than not.įirstly she’d boil the copper up, how I can’t remember but probably some heating mechanism incorporated into the machine. With seven members in our family, five of them young active kids prone to dirty clothes in their daily pursuits, there was always plenty of washing to be done. I remember watching, and helping, my mother on laundry day. It is of course, the precursor to the washing machine, and was a very common sight in most household laundries over many, many years.Ī form of copper had been used for laundry purposes since early Victorian times, and developed into the common design formulated between the World Wars to become popular in modern households until the advent of the washing machine. ![]() Unless you are someone of my vintage or older you’d be ignorant as to the purpose the machine was used. It has been a long time since I have seen one, or for that matter, even thought about one, but it fulfilled an important role in the day to day life of many families, including mine, during the early stages of my childhood in the 1950s. This image of an old copper recently came to my attention in a post on Facebook unleashing a flood of childhood memories for me. ![]()
