![]() ![]() Once again, Kevin's forgetful family leaves home without him (he gets on the plane to New York instead of Miami), and once again they fret while he deals effortlessly with the world. The movie repeats the formula of the best-selling original film. He has soaked the rope in kerosene, and when they're halfway down, he sets it on fire. Take, for example, the scene in "Home Alone 2" where Kevin lures the crooks into trying to crawl down a rope from the top of a four-story townhouse. Most of the live-action attempts to duplicate animation have failed, because when flesh-and-blood figures hit the pavement, we can almost hear the bones crunch, and it isn't funny. The problem is, cartoon violence is only funny in cartoons. When little Kevin (Macaulay Culkin) taunts them ("Hey! Up here!"), he sounds like Bugs Bunny, and when they chase him (always unwisely), they're in the tradition of Elmer Fudd. And just like in the cartoons, the crooks are never really hurt they bounce back, dust themselves off, bend their bones back into shape and are ready for the next adventure. As the two hapless mopes fall down ladders and get slammed by bricks and 500-pound bags of cement, and covered with glue and paint and birdseed, you can hear the cackling of the old Looney Tunes heroes in the background. ![]() Some of the gags are lifted directly from old color cartoons, and in spirit what we're looking at here are Road Runner adventures, with the crooks playing the role of Wile E. Call me hardhearted, call me cynical, but please don't call me if they make " Home Alone 3." I know, I know - the violence is all a joke. Nor did I enjoy the shameless attempt to leaven the mayhem by including a preachy subplot about the Pigeon Lady of Central Park. I didn't much like the first film, and I don't much like this one, with its sadistic little hero who mercilessly hammers a couple of slow-learning crooks. I have a feeling that "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" is going to be an enormous box office success, but include me out. ![]()

![]() But there is some room for variation in procedures. All the plans are required to use an independent firm to conduct their surveys under the supervision of the nonprofit National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) using standardized survey procedures. It should also be noted that differences in the way the survey was administered might explain small differences in plan scores. We have found, for example, that among members of the same plan, POS users are about two to three percentage points less likely than basic HMO users to give high ratings to the plan. Second, for the national plans (and the ratings we report for Blue Cross and Blue Shield by state), the ratings are only from FEHB enrollees, while the ratings for the regional HMO and POS plans include ratings from non-FEHB enrollees.Įven among HMO and POS plans, you should be aware that the ratings given by non-Federal members may have been given by members who were in a different variant of the plan than the variant offered to Federal employees and retirees. For example, high or low ratings of "personal doctors" by enrollees in a national plan don't tell you how that plan's members in a region rate their doctors, and yet it is the national plan's doctors in that region who should be compared to the doctors of members of regional plans serving only that region. First, it is not possible directly to compare regional plans (primarily HMO and POS plans) to national plans. In interpreting member ratings, also keep in mind that comparing across different types of plans is at best imperfect. And we have some evidence from follow-up survey tests we have done that scores would not have changed much even if an additional 10 or 15 percent of surveyed members had responded. Fortunately, with roughly 40 percent of surveyed members responding for most plans, the respondents do at least represent a substantial portion of members. Young male members also tend to give somewhat lower ratings than older members of either gender. Our analysis of these and similar survey data has indicated that younger members and men are less likely to respond than women and older members. It is possible that those who responded are more satisfied or less satisfied than those who did not. ![]() Some enrollees did not return the questionnaire. ![]()

You are correct about newspapers many now are made from post-consumer recycled fiber which is good for the environment but doesn’t clean windows. When you are satisfied the windows are clean, go over them with a good microfiber cloth. I have found that the key to clean windows is a good quality window cleaner (Spayway and Invisible Glass are both good).

Broke and going nowhere, Bukowski understood that libraries provided an important place for the down on their luck people from all walks of life. Already a great thinker, Charles Bukowski on libraries is especially moving.Ĭharles Bukowski spent almost every day between his late teens and early 20’s in the public library reading and writing. Nowhere in his writing is his love more elegant than his love of libraries. He is one of the great writers about horses and gambling. Environment was an integral part of his fiction and poetry. ~ Charles Bukowski /HSpifgPRoVĬharles Bukowski wrote frequently about his surroundings. I took no pride in my solitude but I was dependent on it." ![]() "I was a man who thrived on solitude without it I was like another man without food or water. More than this though, he understood how importance of finding a place to go. They’re in our lives even when we’re alone.Ĭharles Bukowski knew the importance of rising above the noise. ![]() There are more of us walking around out there. The art of solitude and the need to thrive in it is more challenging now than it has ever been before. Bukowski died before social media and cell phones were invented, but he bristled appropriately on any incursion into his solitude in an era which to us now would seem quaint.īukowski understood, I think, better than anyone in contemporary literature, the importance of being good at being alone. Other writers have lauded the need to separate and get away, but precious few in the modern age have been so vocal and articulate on the subject. What makes Bukowski a genuine touchstone is how he championed the importance of solitude. That is only a small part of his overall appeal as a literary figure though. Certainly, Bukowski was one of the “great drinkers” of our times, known to booze morning, noon and night whether or not he was writing on a book. #bukowski #books #amreading #quotes #libraries #library /baAqWpvjLDįor me, Bukowski’s renown as a drinker has always been overemphasized. Bukowski was brave and persistent in his pursuit of his writing.Ĭharles Bukowski knew how to be alone. Growing on from that though, Bukowski’s allure feels quite different now. Terrible to look back on now, there was a sort of romantic idea behind drinking wine all day and carousing with fans that (unfortunately) appeals to youth on the brink of an unconventional career. One of those powerful influences for me was Charles Bukowski, specifically an idea in a quote by Charles Bukowski on libraries.Īs a young writer, Bukowski’s allure was in his boozing and womanizing. We must draw on the wisdom of pioneers before launching down this strange path. Powerful influences are critical for the burgeoning writer.
