Anti-Alcohol Video PSA. Public domain public service announcement. Alcoholism is a chronic disease that makes your body dependent on alcohol. You may be obsessed with alcohol and unable to control how much you drink, even though your drinking is causing serious problems with your relationships, health, work and finances. It's possible to have a problem with alcohol, but not display all the characteristics of alcoholism. This is known as alcohol abuse, which means you engage in excessive drinking that causes health or social problems, but you aren't dependent on alcohol and haven't fully lost control over the use of alcohol. Although many people assume otherwise, alcoholism is a treatable disease. Medications, counseling and self-help groups are among the therapies that can provide ongoing support to help you recover from alcoholism. Alcoholism is a disease. It is often diagnosed more through behaviors and adverse effects on functioning than by specific medical symptoms. Only 2 of the diagnostic criteria are physiological (those are tolerance changes and withdrawal symptoms). Alcohol abuse and alcoholism are associated with a broad range of medical, psychiatric, social, legal, occupational, economic, and family problems. For example, parental alcoholism underlies many family problems such as divorce, spouse abuse, child abuse and neglect, welfare dependence, and criminal behaviors, according to government sources.

Carol Burnett:"Drink, Drank, Drunk" [1975: PBS Special WQED Pittsburgh]
In this first section of a 1975 PBS special produced by flagship station WQED Pittsburgh, Carol Burnett describes common misconceptions about alcoholics, Morgan Freeman appears with the first of several "Fast Facts," and the first few minutes of a comedy sketch, a seeming parody of game shows with Joseph Bologna and Renee Taylor are shown, titled "You Waste Your Life!" are shown. This hour-long special was originally telecast circa October 1975. It has information in it that is still relevant.
Following the dramatic sketch, an old song is performed by singer Linda Hopkins; "There's A Tavern In The Town." Is anyone familiar with this singer and song? Only one other person I've talked to remembers this song. This is followed by a third "Fast Fact" from Morgan Freeman, then another monologue from Carol Burnett leading into a look at a formal alcoholism program in the Scovill Manufacturing Company in Waterbury, Connecticut. There is also a profile film of an employee who took part in the program.
This section of the 1975 hour-long PBS special has the conclusion of the "You Waste Your Life!" sketch, and an alcoholism quiz conducted by E.G. Marshall. By the way, the "You Waste Your Life!" emcee is played by who died earlier this year; Ron Carey
In this section of the hour-long 1975 PBS special, Carol Burnett tells what the scores on the quiz would mean as far as rating an alcoholism problem, gives advice on what to do about an alcoholic, Morgan Freeman appears again with a second "Fast Fact," then after more advice from Carol, we see this discussion group led by Dr. Harold H. Mosak of people related to alcoholics
After the discussion group, Carol Burnett returns with relating an event in history to advice as to what to do if nothing can be done to help the alcoholic. This is followed by a dramatic sketch with Larry Blyden, Ellen Madison, Stanley Grover, and Maeve McGuire. McGuire is the only one of the four cast members in the sketch that is still living today. She is probably best known for being on the soap opera "The Edge Of Night."
The last section of this 1975 hour-long PBS special has Morgan Freeman presenting another "Fast Fact," he presents another one a little later after Carol Burnett dispenses advice on getting help with alcoholics. Carol Burnett returns with a little more advice. Then comes E.G. Marshall reading a disturbing poem; "My Papa's Waltz," drawings from children of alcoholics with their voices sharing their stories, final thoughts from Carol Burnett, then the closing credits. Heads-up warning: For those scared by closing logos, this contains the 1971 PBS I.D. at the end.
Here are the lyrics to the theme song:
Despair was my companion,
Fear my constant friend,
And peace and joy and loving I'd never see again.
You can drink your bourbon, your whiskey and your wine. I can't help you with your problem. I can learn to live with mine.
And hope came flowing through my sorrow, like water through a sieve. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
I'm really proud to live!

Just a few hours ago I had the pleasure to see a one-off Ray Dennis Steckler [1938-2009] obit [i forget where because it was a few hours ago and i'm stupid], but one of the masters of drive-in schlock passed away this week, a man whose career was revitalized as a cult hero after the release of RE/SEARCH Publications' well known 1986 treatise Incredibly Strange Films. In fact the title of that book (and its sister books Incredibly Strange Music Volumes One and Two) took their titles from Ray Dennis Steckler's most famous picture, The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1964). Steckler not only directed entertaining B films but often appeared in them under the pseudonym Cash Flagg. Other than Creatures, Steckler's most well known pictures are Rat Pfink A Boo Boo Wild Guitar (1962). That's what's posted above: The entire movie Wild Guitar. R.I.P.

Is Fidel Castro dead? Is Fidel Castro dying? Is this time different? [i'm pretty sure fidel is dead]
Is Fidel Castro dead? Is Fidel Castro dying? Is this time different?
These are questions that have come up from time to time since July 2006 when Fidel Castro underwent surgery. If one reads between the lines, one might get the impression that Fidel Castro just might be dying because this time we are analyzing his words and those of his closest ally, Hugo Chavez.
Let’s review his latest Reflections and a comment today from Hugo Chavez stating that the world will never see Fidel in public again.
1. The last public photos of Fidel Castro were released on November 19, 2008 when he met with Chinese President Hu. We commented then that Fidel had looked terrible and even appeared to be holding back some drool. Those photos were a photo op for the world and all the preparation that would be justified could not even make Fidel look healthy.
I thought that the photo shown in our recent article about Chinese President Hu meeting with Fidel Castro seemed to show Fidel Castro looking differently… as in a blank expression on his face and a very different hair style. Also notice how tightly Fidel is holding on to Hu AND Fidel’s mouth is closed. Where is the fire? Where is his energy? Remember, these photos are right from BejingDaily.com.cn so these are the BEST propaganda photos that they could put out there… the BEST photos. I wonder what the worst ones look like.
So, I decided to go find photos of Fidel Castro from the recent past just to put all the photos in one place. Some people say that Fidel is dead and that one of his best body doubles is standing in for him. I think that’s a bit of a stretch but have a look at the photos and see if anything seems odd.
Fidel Castro taken from photo with Chinese President Hu on November 18, 2008. Notice how his hair is parted on the left.
Fidel Castro taken from photo with Russia’s Metropolitan Kirill on October 20, 2008 - Russian Orthodox Church. Notice how his hair is parted on the right or combed forward.
Fidel Castro taken from photo with meeting of Uruguay President June 19, 2008 - Reuters
Fidel Castro days after his surgery in August 2006 in recovery. Notice the heavy use of make up that covers his noticeable age spots present before and after surgery. Look at the deep wrinkles on either side of his nose and how they bow it. See the photo above of him with Uruguay President about two years later, the deep wrinkles are very flat and straight.
Undated photo of Fidel Castro but pre-August 2006 when he went into seclusion. I think this was from sometime in 2006 though, maybe a rally against Spain?
Here is a photo that I took in April 2004. This is definitely Castro. I sat and listened to a speech for three hours. A “short” speech. Notice that he does not have deep wrinkles on either side of his nose nor does he have deep wrinkles between his eyebrows. Compare this to the photo above where “he” has deep wrinkles on either side of his nose AND deep wrinkles between his eyebrows. I am no FBI expert but they look like two different people to me. Keep in mind these photos are no more than two years apart.
Just for the record, a photo of Fidel Castro from 1964So, I’m not forensic scientist or FBI specialist in facial features but I do find it odd that for Fidel’s entire life he has combed his hair back and the wrinkles are interesting. I would like to see some photos of his ears. I would think those are pretty hard to fake.
Anyway, who changes the way they fix their hair when they are 82? Here’s an old photo comparison article for the conspiracy fans out there.
So, if you have any other photo that you would like me to post, please use the email link at the bottom of this page. Be sure to include the source and date or just send a link to the photo and/or story.
2. Fidel’s last Reflection was dated December 15, 2008 referring to a December 10 BBC article and could have been written by an assistant with direction by Fidel.
3. It is my belief that December 10, 2008 was Fidel Castro’s last real Reflection. It was a short Reflection of only 129 words after he received and award from CARICOM. Now we are over one full month since this last real time Reflection by Fidel. From what I can see from his list of Reflections, he has never gone for a month without writing. We may see another Reflection come out shortly but if it is “directed by” or “evergreen” in nature, I think it can be discounted since it most likely would have been written at some previous date in the past. Look through his list and separate the directed or evergreen Reflections from the real Reflections and you can see how infrequent his real Reflections have been for the past couple months. Lastly to this point, no other Reflection that we could find comes close to being as short as 129 words.
4. On December 31, 2008, the eve of the 50th anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel could only write “With the 50th anniversary of the triumph just a few hours away, I congratulate our heroic people.” That’s it. Well known journalist and Cuba expert Tracey Eaton commented on the brevity of the wording especially coming from the man that holds the record for the longest speech at the UN (4 hours and 29 minutes) and speaking even longer than that in 1986 for 7 hours and 10 minutes. Fidel Castro has never made short speeches or wrote short Reflections.
5. Today Hugo Chavez said “That Fidel in his uniform who walked the streets and towns late at night, hugging the people, won’t return” in a radio speech today and that this image will have to “remain in memories”. He also said “Fidel will live forever, beyond the physical life”. These words sound to me as though he is preparing the word for a post-Fidel Castro Cuba.
END
I heard somewhere that people judge us by the words we use. Can we judge Fidel by the (lack of) words he uses?
Is Fidel Castro dead? Is Fidel Castro dying? Is this time different?
Popout
Maybe this is Fidel Castro’s last wish?

Rita Chao: Butterfly [Singapore]
RITA CHAO, a very popular recording star from Singapore in the 60's and 70's, released both Mandarin and English records in Singapore and Malaysia. She also gained fans in Japan.
Ling Ying to her Mandarin-speaking fans, Rita enjoyed the accompaniment of The Quests, EMI Singapore's top band in the 60's, and together they recorded several hits for Rita.
Her fans still remember Rita Chao very fondly in her hip 60's A-Go-Go boots and miniskirts and also her bell-bottoms.
Here's Rita from 1973, performing in Mandarin, "Butterfly," a cover of Danyel Gerard's song.
This video clip made possible with help from Vernon Cheong and Georgiana Glass. This is for all fans of Rita Chao to enjoy!

The TITBITS: I Believe [1968 (Singapore) TV Newsreel Clip]
Here is a 30-second television newsreel clip of The TITBITS from 1968. I also slowed it down to their recording of "I Believe" so you can enjoy this rare video clip a second time.
The TIDBITS were SERENE WEE (13 yrs old), her sister MERLINA WEE (12) and their cousin BERNEDETTE DE SOUZA (12).
When the three young girls won the RTS Talentime Competition of 1967/68, they created quite an excitement in Singapore. They drew crowds by the tens of thousands everywhere they made a live appearance.
They won the Finals with "I Believe." The grand prize, a recording contract with RCA. The song was released on their first EP record, backed by The Trailers.
"Tiga Serangkai," Malay for three-leaf clover.
The Stylers (Singapore) - Di Tanjong Katong - Slide Show
Music is from The STYLERS' "Visit Malaysia 1990" album.
This prolific recording group began in the 1960's and thrived through the 70's and beyond, releasing a long string of popular guitar instrumental dance music.
I found these old photos at the National Archives of Singapore website: http://picas.nhb.gov.sg/picas/public/...
The STYLERS' "Di Tanjong Katong" is perfect for this little slide show that shows life in Katong and Joo Chiat area in the early 1960's as I remember it.
Katong Beach and Joo Chiat was where I grew up in the late 50's and early 60's. The area has changed a lot since then, as the slide show also shows the neighborhood as it looks today.
My beloved Katong Beach is no longer where it used to be, but has been moved farther south.

Terry Gilliam: Nike [ad # 1 - ELVIS: LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION]
During Spring 2002, new advertisements from Nike were broadcast featuring many of the world's best footballers. The short films - made to tie in with the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan - were directed by Terry Gilliam. Two advertisements were filmed - "The Secret Tournament" and "The Rematch". This webpage contains stills and behind-the-scenes pictures from the adverts.
"The Secret Tournament" was filmed in December 2001. Gilliam worked with Nicola Pecorini as Director of Photography and set designer Stefano Maria Ortolani. The advert, shot at Rome's Filmhouse Studios, is set in the belly of a cargo liner. Within the cargo liner is a massive cage with turf. Where eight teams of three players play a tournament under the watchful eye of Eric Cantona.
"The Rematch" was filmed on January 28 and 29. Fraser Taggart was Director of Photography for this second shooting session.
The action takes place to the scintillating backdrop of a re-mixed version of the Elvis Presley song "A Little Less Conversation." It's the first time one of the King's songs has been remixed.

"As far as I know, nothing was ever written about this clip in the Elvis press for 40 plus years, till it became available a couple of years ago. Why would Paramount have made such a film clip and not mentioned it in their promotion campaign, back in 61? This promo trailer must be, without a doubt, the rarest film footage meant for screening, not having been used, outside of the ONE surviving copy found in Denmark! So until professionally film footage is found from 1955, this 1960 clip is the rarest Elvis film ever found!"
With a marvelous early sixties feel of Elvis coming alive within a girl's framed photo...rare & unknown to me facts about the movie, plus some interesting new insights into Elvis' character.
For instance Robert Allison Baker III 'The Puppeteer' on the making of G.I. Blues:
"On the third day Elvis came in to kind of run through this (puppet piece). He stepped up on to the stage and walked up to the puppets. We started working the little girl with him. He turned to the director and he said, "I can not perform with this puppet. It's alive! And it's freaking me out! I have got to take a little time out and get myself calm because I don't like the feeling I have".
So he went back to his dressing room for over an hour.
Finally they told him, he had to come back so they could get the scene shot that day.... Finally by the end of the number, the director said, "Can I have the father puppet" And without Elvis knowing it, he put the puppet on his hand and he began hitting Elvis on the head with his stick. And Elvis at first got very angry - and then turned around and saw it was the director and he said it was OK.
Basically, Juliet (Prowse) was on the set during the whole thing. She was out in the audience with the children. We did everything and then a run-through after the audience left, for close-ups and angles. And that's when Elvis actually put one of the puppets on his hand and worked it. He found it kind of interesting. He seemed to work better with the puppets after that."
I particularly enjoyed Elvis & cast away from the film set.
Examining the look on Elvis' face throughout, you can observe plenty of emotions, including, but not limited to . . .
a) The professional worker.
b) Lust, with Juliet Prowse.
c) Sheer happiness at being home and out of the army.
d) That anxious look of 'What am I doing in this lightweight musical?'.
Running just over 2 minutes, this bonus is one of the world's rarest Elvis promo-promos - including terrible fake Japanese accent-versions and some great sixties TV footage of Elvis meeting the King & Queen of Thailand on set.
