come rain . . : frank leaves the officer on a soggy day in southern california .
berlin ( afp ) ― the sole asian contender for the berlin film festival’s golden bear top prize , minimalist south korean breakup drama “come rain , come shine , ” met with jeers from critics thursday .
thr : how did the film come rain , come shine come about ? lee yoon - ki : i read a short story — a cat that cannot return by inoue areno — way back . it was a story that no one else would make a film .
“come rain , come shine” is one of 16 contenders for the festival’s golden and silver bear prizes , which will be handed out a gala ceremony saturday by a jury led by italian - american actress and director isabella rossellini .
actually ,

come rain or come shine
attracted pop recordings by helen forrest and dick haymes , in a rather bland duet , and somewhat more successfully by mercer ' s protă©gă© at capitol records , margaret whiting . it ' s a fine record , especially the end :
in come rain or come shine , jan karon delivers the wedding that millions of mitford fans have waited for . it’s a june day in the mountains , with more than a few creatures great and small , and you’re invited—because you’re family .

nothing could save me , fate gave me a sign i know that i ' ll be yours come shower or shine . . .
i have not read any book from the mitford series before but i must say that i will . . . come rain or come shine is a very simple yet a very interesting book about a simple wedding . but weddings can never be simple . . . .
every time a new mitford book comes out , i fall in love with the town and characters all over again . come rain or come shine was a wonderful invitation to dooley and lace ' s wedding , and the ' special guest ' made the event all the more joyous .

thr : what is it that you want to deliver through come rain , come shine ? lee : that there’s no such thing as being cool . people who pretend to be cool have more emotional layers , like this couple who chooses a very unique way to separate from each other .
jan karon , author of the best - selling series of mitford novels , is back with another that readers won’t want to miss . come rain or come shine picks up where karon’s last novel left off—with the upcoming marriage of aspiring veterinarian dooley kavanagh and his longtime sweetheart , lace harper .
nevertheless , a few good songs emerged from the rubble : ruby hill sang
any place i hang my hat is a home
, which became a minor standard , and miss hill and harold nicholas ( of the nicholas brothers ) introduced
come rain or come shine
, which became a slightly more major one .
over the course of a day ,
come rain come shine
depicts a married couple as they prepare for their breakup . the woman is set to move her stuff out that day . the man , unable to articulate his true feelings , lends a hand . what are the couple ' s true intentions ? will they break up ?
days may be cloudy or sunny we ' re in or we ' re out of the money but i ' m with you always i ' m with you rain or shine .
if it weren’t for the wayward kitten that turns up halfway through “come rain , come shine , ” director lee yoon - ki’s minimalist depiction of the world’s most civil breakup would defy interest entirely , so sullen and inscrutable are its human subjects . although a young korean couple has decided to end their five - year marriage , neither seems particularly anxious [ … ]
come rain or come shine celebrates the wedding of dooley and lace with the cast from the mitford series . a predictable read with few to no surprises , the novel will probably entertain those who are past fans of jan karon ' s earlier books but will probably bring few first time readers into the fold . it was just an okay read for me . . .
in come rain come shine , everyone did behave as they might in real life , and yet watching it felt like being force - fed christmas cake , so crammed was it with traditional seasonal ingredients : selfishness is bad , honesty is good , family comes first , love conquers all , credit is dangerous , and the most traditional christmas ingredient of all , sir david jason .
dooley had come in ; she could hear his voice all the way from the kitchen .
of course , lovely ! another jan karron triumph of love , family , worship through living . i was thrilled to have this early and it is just as wonderful as the whole series . you cannot go wrong with come rain or come shine if you love the mitford series . can be read alone or in order and brings together a couple we have waited for a long time .
come rain or come shine was worth every second of the wait . it is such a great book and karon has such a way with words . she brings the mountain settings to life and makes the characters so real , you feel as if you ' re in the room with them , just chatting the day away . i don ' t want to give anything away but , have multiple boxes of tissues nearby . you will need them .
berlin – as quiet as a whisper , come rain , come shine ' s rueful depiction of the last day of a couple’s marriage only speaks to the most sensitive of poets or most lovelorn of loners . director lee yoon - ki’s suggestive dialogue , body language and mise - en - scene evoke the awkward atmosphere of a
peaceful breakup .
however , lee’s conscious decision to empty the narrative of all drama and eventfulness risks bringing it to the brink of banality .
“our lives will always be full of adventure , ” the bride said . “why would a little rain stop us ? ”
“he came over and we discovered it is the arrangement he did for sinatra for their recording of ‘come rain’ for reprise records . i asked jeff if he could squash it down from a 50 piece orchestra to a string quartet , and he said he
if it weren’t for the wayward kitten that turns up halfway through “come rain , come shine , ” director lee yoon - ki’s minimalist depiction of the world’s most civil breakup would defy interest entirely , so sullen and inscrutable are its human subjects . although a young korean couple has decided to end their five - year marriage , neither seems particularly anxious to call it quits , with both parties moping about their apartment on the final , rain - drenched day of their relationship . enter the kitten , showing more determination and personality than both apathetic leads combined . still , with fest support , low - key drama could snare modest exposure in select territories .
we ' ll be happy together unhappy together and won ' t that be fine days may be cloudy or sunny we ' re in or we ' re out of the money but i ' m with you always i ' m with you rain or shine . . .
but a one - off masterpiece is still a masterpiece , as don costa understood .
sinatra and strings was and always will be the hallmark of my existence ,
he told stan britt in the seventies . as for
come rain or come shine
, after hearing sinatra sing it at caesars palace , costa commented :
that ' s still the best chart i ever wrote .
his vocalist knew it too , right to the end . and a decade after costa ' s sudden death in 1983 , sinatra was still out there , rain or shine , good nights or bad - hell or high water , as harold arlen had said half - a - century earlier - and , having outlived composer , lyricist and arranger , still doing his best by all three of them :
come rain , come shine can be seen as a companion piece to lee ' s last film my dear enemy . both condense the story into a day that unspools like real time . both focus on the shifting but barely pronounced feelings of ex - lovers . while my dear enemy fluidly weaves around photogenic seoul and a bevy of interesting characters , this film is definitely more downbeat and stuffy . the two introverted protagonists linger reclusively inside their memory - filled house , where any contact with the outside world is viewed as an intrusion .
it ' s been a while since i read one of jan karon ' s mitford novels , but when i read the summary of her latest , come rain or come shine , i was eager to pick it up . anyone who read the early books in the series will remember dooley . he stole everyone ' s heart , from father tim kavanagh ' s to lacey harper ' s and the readers ' . now , after all these years , dooley is finishing vet school and getting married . dooley and lacey want a small , simple country wedding , but in a community where everyone knows them , that ' s difficult . and , the schedule is formidable . first dooley must graduate . then , he ' s moving home , taking over the local veterinarian practice . dooley ' s first bull for his small herd is arriving . the barn must be cleaned out , grass grown , food prepared . lacey doesn ' t have a wedding dress . and , of course , there will be unexpected guests and surprises . a simple country wedding . the writing style in come rain or come shine does not make it an easy book to read . it takes a little bit of time as karon switches viewpoints from father tim to lacey to dooley without revealing who is speaking or thinking . once the reader falls into the rhythm of the book and the storytelling , it flows through the days leading up to the wedding or the
big knot
as it ' s called . come rain or come shine is a heartwarming , homespun story . fans of the earlier books will be pleased to see the characters come together at the wedding . they ' ll rejoice with dooley and lacey on the joyous day . there ' s humor throughout the book , even during the wedding . but , there ' s also time for reflection and introspection for father tim , dooley and lacey . fans of the mitford series will find themselves crying and laughing over the latest episodes in this beloved saga . who knows whether this is the last in the series ? it could end on this hopeful note , or there are characters whose stories could continue . no matter what , come rain or come shine is a triumphant culmination for a long - running , well - loved series .
perhaps because , in the spring of 1950 , everything he did record he was faintly embarrassed by : following the bob hope show , his next two columbia sessions produced
goodnight , irene
( a folkie cash - in ) ,
dear little boy of mine
( a mawkish superannuated parlor ballad from the first world war ) , and
life is so peculiar
( a surreal novelty for which he had no flair ) .
come rain or come shine
represented at that point the career he ' d like to have .
after having read all the mitford books and even plenty of jan karon ' s other books , i was so excited to pick up come rain or come shine . i felt like i had watched dooley and lace grow up so to watch as they finally started their new life together as husband and wife was fantastic . i love having a series of books to read . each new installment is like a family reunion with characters you only see once in a while . best , in mitford , there always seem to be small changes , just like real small town life . now , dooley is finally a vet . people have moved and dooley and lace are getting ready to become the occupants at meadowgate . dooley has bought hal owen ' s vet practice and a wedding is coming up . i laughed at the wedding being called the big knot . i actually loved everything about the wedding from it being a pot luck to dooley ' s childhood friend tommy having his band provide the music . if you , as i have , love mitford and father tim and his family , you will thoroughly enjoy come rain or come shine .

i am an avid reader of ms . karon’s novels . as a matter of fact , in the past six months i have read and re - read the entire series at least 4 times while waiting not so patiently for the release of come rain or come shine . there is a reason for this . i have had a very stressful year and i find visits to mitford very relaxing . every character in this series is complete ; there isn’t a one - dimensional body in the bunch . even the nodding acquaintances have a unique and full place in ms . karon’s storie
what is particularly moving about hyun bin is that he acts what he
wants
to act in . he doesn ' t follow status quo just to make a buck . i think this show was filled with symbolism and i love the open ended ending , which by the way i usually despise . . we can come up with our own conclusions . sometimes i do wonder if the writer knows or just left it unknown even within the writer ' s own self . hyun bin is poignant , amazing , and yes can be catastrophic ( in a compelling way ) with every work he does . come rain , come shine is a film to be reckoned with . it is now in my collection of favorites .
the film is lugubriously slow , hanging on each wan moment as if lee expects auds to fully understand the character history that makes this separation so difficult . but it’s nearly impossible to extrapolate from the scant information provided whether the tragedy is how much they’re giving up or how little they have to show for their time together . it’s all part of “come rain , come shine’s” general grayness , which extends from the weather - dampened look to the overall ambiguity of emotion ; when the film does intercut scenes of jiseok alone in the sun , they serve merely to confuse rather than enlighten .
i have a confession : i was never a big reader , until i read jan karon ' s first novel in her mitford series . after that , you could say ,
i was hooked .
i found a love for reading while i emersed myself in her characters and their daily lives . in karon ' s latest book , come rain or come shine , i eagerly wanted to devour it and yell from the rooftops that i loved it , but , for much of the novel , i spent my time feeling more disappointed than pleased . several reviews have pointed out the lack of fluidit
o come let us adore him , o come let us adore him , o come let us adore him . . . but that ' s enough about david beckham ' s overwrought reception at birmingham ' s lg arena in the bbc ' s sports personality of the year show on sunday ; what about the nativity , the so - called greatest story ever told compressed into four parts and written by the rather aptly named tony jordan ?
it ' s been a while since i read one of jan karon ' s mitford novels , but when i read the summary of her latest , come rain or come shine , i was eager to pick it up . anyone who read the early books in the series will remember dooley . he stole everyone ' s heart , from father tim kavanagh ' s to lacey harper ' s and the readers ' . now , after all these years , dooley is finishing vet school and getting married . dooley and lacey want a small , simple country wedding , but in a community where everyone knows them , t
i ' ve read all of the books in the miford and father tim series , and i ' ve been looking forward to lace and dooley ' s wedding . not surprisingly , i read come rain or come shine pretty much in two big gulps . although i enjoyed it , i also found it somewhat vexing , hence my three - star rating . part of my frustration was with the exceedingly sparse writing style . . . much of the book was written as a few moments of time inside one character or another ' s head . when you ' re in your own head , of course , you do
through the penguin first to read program , i had an opportunity to read an advance copy of this book . thanks to jan karon for inviting all of her readers to dooley ' s and lace ' s wedding in come rain or come shine . once again , ms . karon provides a welcome relief from our hectic and stressful lives by inviting us to visit mitford . . . . . . . a town where most , if not all , of her readers would love to live . it is always a pleasure catching up with the latest happenings of the mitford residents . this was a pleasant and heartwarming book !
i don ' t know what that c ' s doing in there . a mistake by the copyist ? arlen returns for another parade of a naturals after the release on
you ' re gonna love me / like nobody ' s loved me / come rain . . .
and then for the next section :
we cannot please everyone with the movie
come rain , come shine
. people do have different opinions . either they would like it or not . whats important was the effort of all the cast of the movie to end with this kind of film , having it shown on a berlin film festival was already an honor . i had watched it twice already , and for me i liked it , why ? , because the story really happens on real couples urltoken was urltoken was kinda slow , yes , but i was able to feel the story . - looking forward for hyunbins drama series and movies after he ' s released from his military service .
let me just say : i love mitford . i ' ve loved every book in this series , and was so excited when jan karon announced
come rain or come shine
was coming . i even pre - ordered . . . and that ' s saying something for a cheapskate like me ! like all the other books in the series , i practically read it all in one sitting , but . . . i just can ' t give this one 5 stars , or even 4 stars . . . and i ' m so sad about that . i like it , but . . . i felt like i had missed a book between
somewhere safe with somebody good
and thi
i ' ve read the mitford books and the
father tim
books , so it ' s kind of hard for me to assess how this book would read without that background . . . but i think it would leave anyone who is new to the series frustrated . come rain or come shine is written with a sparseness that almost requires the reader to fill in the blanks with their own knowledge of the characters and their backgrounds . if you haven ' t already done so , i definitely recommend reading
home to holly springs
before reading crocs . technically
home
isn ' t part of the mitford series , but it provides the background for what was , for me , one of the nicest story lines in crocs . ( less )
is it really , as sinatra appeared to feel , the greatest song ever ? i think it all goes back to mercer ' s observation - that what matters in a song is
the mood
. in this case , the mood - a declarative love song pledging you ' re in it for keeps whatever life throws at you - is just perfect for this singer , for the
night and day
/
all or nothing at all
sinatra . the singer and his arranger must have been thrilled at the end of that 1961 session , and yet there would be no sequel to sinatra and strings . throughout a career cut far too short , don costa scored a lot of kiddie - pop , from paul anka and trini lopez to donny and marie osmond . there ' s no disgrace in that : some very gifted arrangers have a feel for it ( quincy jones ) and others don ' t ( nelson riddle ) . so by the end of the sixties don costa was frank ' s go - to guy for the poppy stuff - sometimes spectacularly successfully , as with
my way
and
new york , new york
; but often less so , on innumerable bits of soft - rock schlock that were beneath both of them . and so
come rain or come shine
would never come again , rain or shine .
thank you penguin for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of come rain or come shine . as usual , jan karon has delivered a wonderful story of the people of mitford . this book is one of the best i have read of hers yet as dooley and lace plan and prepare for their wedding . they chose a country wedding to keep it simple , yet , the complications and all the planning become way more than simple . their lives seem to be on fast forward and through out the book , they are always trying to slow it down and enjoy the moment . there are many life lessons in this book , set among all the characters and it brings laughter and tears as the story progresses . it is so enjoyable to rejoin the continuing story of mitford and the lives of all the characters .
he had come home to mitford that last weekend of october—documented in her dooley book for three long pages—and with an ease unlike any she might imagine , she had at last opened her heart to him completely .
but he had an announcement , too . at long last , his dream of sailing the world with his younger brother , nick , now 31 , was going to come true . soon . or soonish .

“saranghanda , saranghaji anneunda , ” as the film is called in korean , features long takes of shifting weather patterns , wistful gazes out of windows at falling rain , sparse dialogue , little music , and a pared - down plot .
having read a lot of negative reviews on early screenings of
come rain come shine
i did fear the worst prior to watching the movie here in korea . after watching the movie i can understand why the movie turned off a lot of people - the film is slow , emotions tucked away and the narrative is minimal . with that said , i actually found myself enjoying the movie more as it progressed and by the half way point in the film became absolutely drawn into the world of these two people who are spending their last day together prior to their breakup . questions that i wanted answered kept popping into my mind
why is hyun - bin ' s character so withdrawn ?
will lim soo - jung ' s character have a change of heart by the end of the day ?
is lim soo - jung the villain or victim ?
will hyun - bin ever blurt out something heartfelt to save their relationship ?
come rain or shine
book 11 of the mitford novels by jan karon tells the story of the wedding of dooley and lace , the constant duo of the previous novels . the two are putting together a wedding , graduating from vet school ( dooley ) , taking over a practice and farm , as well as adopting a 4 year old boy . this seems like a lot and the two are handling it well . this is the first of the mitford books that i have read . though karon did a good job of keeping the reader abreast of what had happened , should they not have read the rest of the series , it is still hard to catch up when the series is on book 11 . there were several times , that i had to either re - read or be confused for awhile till i figured out what was going on . as a single book , the writing is good and easy to read . the accents may be a little hard to pick out if you are a city slicker , but i liked them included . gave the characters a more personal touch . i have heard from fellow bookaholics that the mitford series is brilliant , so my recommendation would be to start at the beginning . if you have already read the previous 10 , than you better get started on
come rain or shine !
i received this book in exchange for a review from www . firsttoread . com . i have included this review to my blog , in a minute , and christianbook . com .
johnny mercer may not have been a great musical dramatist for the broadway stage , but he knew about what he called
mood
and that , once you got the mood of a song right , everything fell into place .
the thing about it is recognizing it when you think of it ,
he said .
you say , ' that ' s right for this tune . '
with
come rain or come shine
,
the right mood
was no more or less than
a really simple way of saying ' i love you ' . . . the way a guy in a saloon would feel it .
and that
i ' m gonna love you / like nobody ' s loved you
fits the insistent drive of the tune . notice too how the song has few rhymes , which would risk over - underlining all those repeated notes . in fact , mercer doesn ' t rhyme at all until the release , when he slips in a triple :
cut to the couple’s designer suburban house . young - shin is already packing her stuff to move out . the two drink coffee , get sentimental about paraphernalia and make plans to dine at a fancy joint . yet their desire to tie things up neatly are frustrated : a baby kitten gatecrashes their home and disappears ; their neighbors come looking for the kitten ; the torrential rain floods the bridge ; and they end up staying in to cook pasta , but credits roll before they have a chance to eat together .
# 1 new york times –bestselling author jan karon returns—with the story readers have been waiting for . over the course of ten mitford novels , fans have kept a special place in their hearts for dooley kavanagh , first seen in at home in mitford as a barefoot , freckle - faced boy in filthy overalls . now , father tim kavanagh’s adopted son has graduated from vet school and opened his own animal clinic . since money will be tight for a while , maybe he and lace harper , his once and future soul mate , should keep their wedding simple . so the plan is to eliminate the cost of catering and do potluck . ought to be fun . an old friend offers to bring his well - known country band . gratis . and once mucked out , the barn works as a perfect venue for seating family and friends . piece of cake , right ? in come rain or come shine , jan karon delivers the wedding that millions of mitford fans have waited for . it’s a june day in the mountains , with more than a few creatures great and small , and you’re invited—because you’re family . by the way , it’s a pretty casual affair , so come as you are and remember to bring a tissue or two . after all , what’s a good wedding without a good cry ?
in wet conditions , quilt xcel has definitely helped plants stay healthier and better tolerate the negative effects of too much rain ,
says mark nofziger , a grower in wauseon , ohio .
it keeps stalks healthier and plants standing straight to minimize lodging at harvest .
with his taste for describing the banality of everyday life in voluptuous detail , films of lee yoon - ki capture the essence of troubled characters on screen . in his debut film this charming girl ( 2004 ) the director poignantly depicted a dreary life of a female post officer with a traumatic past whose comfort in life was to play with an abandoned cat and fill her room with goods ordered from a home shopping channel . in his latest feature film come rain come shine , the only asian runner in berlin’s competition , lee focuses on a troubled couple played by a duo of charismatic actors - - hyun bin ( full autumn ) and lim soo - jung ( i’m a cyborg . but that’s o . k . ) — in their final hours together . but lee notably shies away when it comes to media attention of his work . when the conversation naturally reaches the festival , he says : “i wish i don’t win an award . i don’t want the attention . ” lee recently spoke with the hollywood reporter’ s korea correspondent park soo - mee about his actors , muses and arthouse filmmaking in korean cinema .
it was arlen ' s joke -
come hell or high water
- that led mercer to his title . but he ' d used a variant of it a couple of years earlier , in a movie song he wrote with jerome kern ,
dearly beloved
:
1 . chances are , you were surprised to learn lace and dooley’s news that made father tim sad . what news did you have to tell your parents that made them sad ? how did you handle it ? 2 . what happened on the day before the wedding was an act of redemption for lace , dooley , and jack tyler . can you name at least one other redemptive act in come rain or come shine ? would you be willing to search the book for the many acts of redemption contained in its pages ? 3 . what is your worst and / or funniest experience with a potluck ? 4 . prayer is important in the mitford books . is there a prayer or saying that brings comfort to you or your family ? 5 . which of the characters in this book would you enjoy being ? why ? author jan karon says she has a special fondness for harley , who combines innocence , stubbornness , humor , generosity , and loyalty . did you guess who gave the wedding gift that was given anonymously ? jan said she didn ' t know who gave it until very late in the book . “my work is always filled with surprises for the author , ” she says . 6 . what do you like most about father tim and cynthia ' s relationship ? lace and dooley ' s relationship ? 7 . in the book , there are many special occasions in addition to the big knot . the breakfast on wedding day morning , with everyone gathered close . the hanging of the vet clinic sign . dooley giving lace the new pup . lace giving dooley her painting . choo - choo coming to the farm . jack tyler jumping down from the truck . henry arriving from his long journey . at which of these special occasions would you like to be a fly on the wall ? 8 . have you ever known anyone like lily ? 9 . talk about the best marriage you have ever witnessed . what made or makes it the best ? 10 . do you keep a journal ? jan used a dominant journaling theme in her novel in the company of others , and in come rain or come shine we get a look at lace ' s journal , which she calls the dooley book . how does lace ' s journal enrich the overall story ? 11 . name just one characteristic that sets the mitford books apart .
after another emotional parting , saltbreaker set out across the pacific . “i knew alex well but not well enough to know if taking off for the tropics would mean he might never come back , ” she said . “i now could see how sailing does crazy things to people . ”
the screenplay was adapted from a japanese short story , the cat that can never come back by areno inoue . it accounts for its painful repression , detached tone and slow - brewing momentum more common in japanese art - house cinema , a close counterpart being nobuhiro suwa’s a perfect couple .
the rain held off as the groom , who now works for swift navigation , had predicted using a computerized weather model he made for the wedding date , and the party moved into the nearby general’s residence . on the bay , the few sailboats that had braved the weather headed for safe harbor as the wind whipped up .
i have a confession : i was never a big reader , until i read jan karon ' s first novel in her mitford series . after that , you could say ,
i was hooked .
i found a love for reading while i emersed myself in her characters and their daily lives . in karon ' s latest book , come rain or come shine , i eagerly wanted to devour it and yell from the rooftops that i loved it , but , for much of the novel , i spent my time feeling more disappointed than pleased . several reviews have pointed out the lack of fluidity between characters point of views , or how many readers would not understand the depth of meaning , as certain scenes took place , unless you had read the previous novels . although i don ' t feel giddy happy after reading this novel and even though i too , found the writing style to be lacking in some ways , every so often a glimpse or feeling from the previous books would pop out and make me smile and keep me turning the pages . many
strings
were tied up with this novel and it truly was a warm and cozy read . i think i just missed the old characters and the story being focused on father tim . now that i have turned the last page though , i am very happy i read it .
rain is an action game based on a unique concept : an invisible player character . though the development team was entirely japanese , we created a world that resonated with people across the globe , and our game was honored with countless awards and nominations from the best of e3 , the d . i . c . e . awards and others . in particular , the elegant art style and sound design left a strong impression on players , and we believe we truly succeeded in captivating them . on the other hand , we feel there are many points worth addressing with regards to storytelling and narrative style that could benefit future titles . in this session , we intend to run through every aspect of rain ' s production . we will cover everything from the initial planning phases , the selection of the unity engine and the art production style , to the issues we faced with narrative and game design , as well as the results of our promotional activities . in short , we want to use this postmortem to give you an honest look into what did and didn ' t go well with rain .
she remembered his weekend smell of a burger on the highway and his shampoo and his favorite jacket with the top button missing , all that , and his hands cold from the october wind . she had held him , unguarded and certain , and he looked at her and she knew that he understood . dooley really got stuff that didn’t come with words .
the following season , lafont acted on the lessons he had learned by applying the fungicide on 600 acres of corn .
in 2013 , we received lots of rain ,
he says .
we already have big fogs and dews in this area , so we had a lot of disease . quilt xcel kept that under wraps and kept our plants healthy as they matured .

even the camera seems to tiptoe around the protagonists , who move about but go nowhere . these are interspersed with static , empty shots of interiors and furniture that look like real estate showrooms . the soft light , which falls partially on the cast , enhances the ambiguity of their positions . in lieu of sound , the incessant rain and mumbling radio announcements form a gloomy sound - scape .
using a fungicide during wet seasons makes sense to most people . after all , excessive moisture creates ideal breeding grounds for fungal plant pathogens to develop and multiply . however , applying fungicides during dry weather may seem counterintuitive . the 2012 drought showed growers that when the rain isn ' t falling enough , it ' s important for plants to use the water they do receive to maximize yields .
i surely do wish i could give this book more than 5 stars ! i was absolutely blessed to win an arc of this wonderful book by submitting a recipe . it was such a delight to be able to read this 3 months early , let me tell you ! jan karon takes us back to mitford and farmer in this tale . this book is dooley and lace ' s wedding . and what a wedding it is . oh , my goodness ! i don ' t have the ability to even begin to describe how much i adored this book . seeing father tim is always a joy , hearing his thoughts and feelings a certain delight . my copy is now flagged and underlined so much ! there are so many things i want to remember here , too . there is also some heartache , but these young folks have found a way to bring joy out of even that . when we first met dooley as a youngster , he was not much to see . but with father tim and the lord ' s help , dooley is a fine and wonderfully upstanding young man . he graduates from vet school in this book and opens his practice which he bought from hal at meadowgate . he and lace are only 2 weeks from their wedding . a potluck wedding ! i loved hearing from old friends and new ones . jan karon tells a tale like no other . it ' s pure nourishment for the spirit , is come rain or come shine . as are all her other books . i am so sad for this book to end , but joyfully look forward ( i hope ! ) to more from mitford . * i won this arc in a contest and was not required to leave a favorable review . my opinions are honest and my own .
when he returned to the studio for the duets album in 1993 ,
rain or shine
was obviously going to be on the list - if only because the project wasn ' t much more sophisticated than getting the songs frank was out singing night after night on stage down on tape and then editing some ghastly pop star du jour into half the lyric . harold arlen and johnny mercer got lucky : their duet fell into the hands of gloria estefan , who has since made the inevitable standards album ( so inevitable in her case that it ' s actually called the standards album ) but who had never previously betrayed any instinct or feeling for this kind of music . for a then techno - dependent latina dance diva , her voice blends very well with sinatra ' s , and she ' s genuinely simpatico . frank must have liked the result because the next time he was playing miami they went out to dinner together .
using areno inoue’s japanese short story “the cat that can never come back” as his point of inspiration , lee probably should have considered adapting the slender idea in short form himself . feature length is simply too much time to spend watching a pair of inexpressive characters wallow in their melancholy . how many cups of coffee and cigarettes must two non - confrontational people consume onscreen before a poetically inclined helmer feels content that he’s sufficiently captured their inner turmoil ?
absolutely . the resulting album , sinatra and strings , is a magnificent piece of work with many stand - out tracks , including the verse of
stardust
and the great swirling currents of
yesterdays
. these ballads aren ' t as torchy as wee small hours , or as bleak as where are you ? or as hopeless as only the lonely . as the title suggests , they ' re not thematically about anything more than the lushness of the string section . but
rain or shine
has a slightly different texture from the others - romantic strings but with a hint of bluesiness frank seems to have picked up from the ray charles version ( along with the horns in the intro ) , and then , in the instrumental break , the gorgeous swank of that slow swing . by comparison with the rest of the arrangements , it ' s a strange combination of concert hall and saloon that sinatra pulls together through the passion and sincerity of a powerful vocal .
a heartwarming addition to the mitford series . dooley is grown up ; he and lace have been foes and then friends for year . . . now they ' re getting married . it ' s crammed with familiar characters , old stories , old jokes as they come together to celebrate , along with some incredible surprises too . ( my only criticism is that sometimes the view changes and i can ' t figure out whose it is until a few paragraphs later . )
i have always enjoyed the mitford series and have a little crush on father tim . sorry cynthia . i was really looking forward to the story of dooley and lace ' s wedding . i thought it would just shine . unfortunately for me , it did not . there are several reasons for this : 1 . i found jumping around different people ' s stories without any kind of preparation quite unsettling . you would be reading about dooley ' s thoughts and suddenly it would be harley . it was unsettling for a long time reader but i desp

if you are seeking a deeper understanding of the australian experience of war , there are a number of items in the memorial ' s collection which hold a wealth of information you may find useful .
what did you do in the war , daddy ? is one of the mildly satirical , mostly slapstick wwii comedies that came out in the spate of ' 60s war dramas . a lot of movies were about special teams with difficult assignments , and many of these adopted at least a partly insubordinate tone about ragtag misfits , such as steve mcqueen ' s character the great escape or the cast of the dirty dozen . the ideas are that regular officers are incompetent and war is hell , but rugged individuals can have a grand time . no movies were mentioning vietnam yet ( the green berets was 1968 ) , but the shadow of its restless , unspoken presence looms dimly .
the australian war memorial was voted the number one landmark in australia by travelers in the 2016 trip advisor awards . come and see why .

before penning the book the exorcist and its academy award - winning screen adaptation , william peter blatty was known primarily as a comedy writer and frequent collaborator of blake edwards . their first project together was 1964’s a shot in the dark , which retooled an unrelated stage play as a vehicle for peter sellers’ inspector clouseau character . for their follow - up , 1966’s what did you do in the war , daddy ? , edwards came up with the story ( aided by maurice richlin , his co - writer on the pink panther ) and left it to blatty to fashion it into a workable screenplay . he turned out a well - honed farce that gave edwards and his cast a solid framework in which to improvise , which they did to superlative effect .
this is , of course , the new way of fighting in america . declare war on some entity and then swear that that entity has delared war on you . the idea that american christians–who own the white house , congress , the fcc , and the so - called war on terror–are a persecuted group is enough to make me wade into a tub of eggnog .

at just over two over - plotted hours , what did you do in the war , daddy ? , like its yankee army , wears out its raucous welcome . it ' s at best mildly amusing , and it catches hold of a good idea when drawing a parallel between directing a movie and directing a war ( far in advance of wag the dog ) , but it ' s never as giddy and bouyant as it seems to imagine it is . evidently the public concurred , because the statistics indicate it took a bath at the box office , and probably not in a fountain . this is partly because fernando carrere ' s italian village set accounted for most of a huge budget . henry mancini ' s march - oriented score isn ' t among his greatest , though it throws in a love song heard on a scratchy record .

the outbreak of war in 1914 was no small inspiration for the many songwriters , lyricists , professional singers and musicians , and resulted in the creation of a huge body of work devoted to wartime themes . thousands of songs were written about the war , most destined to disappear before or soon after the cessation of hostilities , but some became big hits at the time and are still known and sung a century later . recruitment songs – such as ‘ we don’t want to lose you , but we think you ought to go ’ and ‘ britannia needs you like a mother ’ – were prominent early but soon gave way to evocations of home and nostalgia as the grim realities of war became more apparent . ‘ it’s a long way to tipperary ’ actually came out two years before fighting commenced but became the first ‘hit’ of the war , taking on a life of its own for soldiers from most countries involved . ‘ keep the home fires burning ’ , released in 1914 , resonated similarly throughout the war years , and beyond .

however , over time , the recovery from the depression became global , even as nations’ export shares and currency values stabilized . what was not adequately appreciated by robinson and her contemporaries was that a country’s abandonment of the gold standard did more than affect the value of its currency : it also freed the country to use more expansionary monetary policies , which increased demand and incomes at home . the increases in total demand , for both domestic and foreign goods , served to promote recovery in output and trade in all countries , ultimately proving far more important than the temporary trade diversions created by changes in exchange rates . in other words , the monetary easings that followed the collapse of the gold standard amounted to a positive sum game .
as the war continued to rage , and casualty lists grew , songs of loss and lament became more common , and anti - war sentiment also found expression in songs like ‘ i didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier ’ . in australia , the conscription referenda ( 1916 - 1917 ) of the hughes government saw the emergence of a new wave of parodies adapted from popular tunes , especially within the union movement .

the best of the sentimental love songs from the period , such as ‘ k - k - k - katy ’ and ‘ if you were the only girl in the world ’ , also found a place in collective hearts and minds . as the war continued with little sign of resolution , satirical numbers like ‘ oh ! it’s a lovely war ’ endeavoured to make light of the gloomy situation , while rousing songs like the enormously popular ‘ pack up your troubles ’ were helpful in lifting or maintaining spirits , and proved equally important to both those at home and abroad . australian songwriters and lyricists did their best as well to produce patriotic tubthumpers – ‘ australia will be there ’ , ‘ to arms australia ’ , ‘ keep an eye on tommy ’ , ‘ the digger ’ , and ‘ brown slouch hat ’ among them .

my posting this time was to no . 21 sfts kumalo which was situated at the edge of bulawayo and as it turned out , quite a pleasant place to be . here we settled down to try to do our bit for the war effort and passed a fresh course of trainees through our system every 3 / 4 months . they were a fine bunch of lads and i often wonder how many survived . i did hear later that some of them were remustered as glider pilots and i hope they gave the troops a decent landing .
beyond the evidence on the countervailing income and exchange - rate effects of u . s . monetary policy on u . s . trade , there is in fact little support in the data for the claim that the fed engaged in currency wars during the recent recovery . in a currency war , the country easing its monetary policy “steals” growth from other countries by weakening its currency and increasing its net exports , that is , exports minus imports . in figure 1 below , the bars show annual real gdp growth rates for the u . s . since 2006 ; the darker portions of the bars show the portion of overall growth accounted for by growth in u . s . net exports .
edwards does lubitsch , to great effect : a slapstick war farce in the tradition of to be or not to be , replete with antics , pageants and capers , all of it sparkling with defiant joie de vivre . marvelous ! delightful ! and yet as borges did barthes , it anticipates baudrillard . is there any doubt that edwards is the g . o . a . t . ?
my first posting was to itw at cambridge where we were housed in college accommodation as there was very little civilian activity in the university at that time . we received our tuition in the college lecture rooms and our meals in the dining rooms and were even allowed to use the college silverware . itw headquarters was at jesus ! ! we also did guard duties with rifles ( no ammunition ) at the bridge of sighs in the grounds of st . johns college and more than one professor had a near escape when he failed to respond to the command “halt who goes there” .
for our part we all felt guilty being in rhodesia and living in peace time conditions with no rationing or blackout and various schemes were talked about to attempt to get a uk posting . two of our instructors hatched , what they thought was a good plot to get posted but it unfortunately backfired . they took off one day in two oxfords and proceeded to beat up the town of bulawayo . they flew at rooftop level up the main streets and did mock attacks on the town hall . this upset the locals but even more the station commander . their scheme was of course doomed to failure for if it had succeeded it would have opened the floodgates . they did however get posted - to the airgunners school at moffat , gwelo - where they finished their tours flying avro ansons and towing drogues for the air gunners to fire at .
the lessons of the depression should inform today’s discussions of currency wars . an important failing of some currency war accusations is that they focus on one channel of monetary policy transmission—the effect on the exchange rate—while ignoring others . an easing of monetary policy does work in part by depreciating the currency , which ,

the day we arrived edwards was directing key scenes of the war comedy wherein officers of the american ‘liberators” are given amazing terms of surrender by fantoni , an italian captain , backed by the horde of villagers of all ages and sizes .

bill o’reilly , a general in the fight against the war on christmas , tells us that a lot is at stake –that the war on christmas is part of a “secular aggressive agenda” that includes “legalization of narcotics , euthanasia , abortion at will , gay marriage . ” all that from “happy holidays . ” fox news anchor john gibson has even written a book called the war on christmas : how the liberal plot to ban the sacred christian holiday is worse than you thought . o’reilly has listed on his website a variety of retail outlets and how they are using , or not using , the word “christmas , ” so that his disciples will know where to shop . jerry falwell has threatened to file suit against any organization that spreads false information about how schools and public organizations can say about christmas .
during the great depression . during the 1930s , the international gold standard collapsed , but it did so in a staggered way , with countries abandoning the gold standard at different times . the currencies of countries that left gold relatively early ( like great britain , in 1931 ) depreciated relative to the currencies of countries that stuck with gold longer ( like france , which left gold in 1936 ) . the economies of countries that left gold earlier were also seen to recover more quickly from the ravages of the depression . some economists of the period , such as joan robinson of the university of cambridge , argued that the recovering countries were doing so primarily through “beggar - thy - neighbor” policies of undercutting other nations in export markets .
the sixties produced a slew of funny war comedies demonstrating that wwii was basically good fun for all concerned , rather than being peopled with the kind of angst - filled , hand - wringing adolescents you see nowadays in movies like memphis belle and saving private ryan . edwards would go on to fantastic success with the pink panther series and writer blatty is notable for his later work , the exorcist . edwards draws on a solid cast , including veterans carroll o ' connor , harry morgan and aldo ray , without whom no war movie is complete . italian star fantoni turns in a meatball performance as oppo but dick shawn steals the show with the best role of his career . although a little slow in spots , blake edwards nonetheless gets where he ' s going and the result is a fine , though underrated , entry in the genre . the interactions between shawn and fantoni are worth the price of admission alone .
by reserve bank of india governor raghuram rajan , among others , was that shifts in fed policy ( toward either greater tightness or greater ease ) were creating spillovers—sharp swings in capital flows and increased market volatility—that destabilized financial markets in emerging - market countries . this concern has surfaced again recently , as the fed has initiated what may prove to be a series of interest - rate increases .
a “currency war” ( also known as competitive depreciation or a “beggar - thy - neighbor” policy ) occurs when a country eases monetary policy specifically to depreciate its currency , with the ultimate objective of cheapening its exports and gaining unfair competitive advantage in international trade . ( my discussion here applies only to exchange - rate changes linked to monetary policy . gaining trade advantage through trade barriers like tariffs or through intervention in foreign exchange markets raises quite different issues . ) when a currency war is prosecuted , exporters in other countries may complain that they are being undercut , and foreign policymakers may object to what looks like a diversion of demand away from their own economies , possibly leading to increased unemployment .

moreover , a currency war requires currency depreciation . figure 2 shows three measures of the value of the u . s . dollar : the overall value , the value measured against major currencies like the euro , pound , and yen , and the value against the currencies of “other important trading partners , ” corresponding mostly to emerging - market countries .

what a relief to reach land , although i have recently learned at an rmarg meeting that unknown to us the channel into cape town had been mined shortly before our arrival and that the channel was extremely narrow . the mines had been laid by a vessel which is the subject of a book entitled “a ship with 5 names” . she was originally a british freighter , the mv speybank , and was captured by the germans in the indian ocean and subsequently used for mine laying . on this occasion she sailed from france on the 21st january 1942 and arrived in the cape town area on approximately the 12th march . she was under the command of bernard rogge and laid about 50 mines in the area which damaged 3 british ships .
as you can see , the dollar fell somewhat in early 2011 , after the beginning of the fed’s second round of quantitative easing in november 2010 ( and about the time that minister mantega was lodging his complaint ) . but the u . s . currency recovered in the second half of 2011 , then climbed gradually until mid - 2014 , when it began its recent sharp rise . that pattern is not consistent with a currency war , at least not a successful one . it’s true that some of the failure of the dollar to decline reflected countervailing easing of monetary policy by u . s . trading partners . however , that observation only illustrates the point above that countries with flexible exchange rates have the necessary tools to offset the effects of u . s . monetary policy on the dollar . indeed , many countries eased monetary policy during this period , in response to a slow global recovery .

as figure 1 shows , trade did help buffer the sharp decline in u . s . output in 2008 and 2009 , largely because u . s . imports fell even more than u . s . exports as the economy fell into a deep recession . however , since 2010 , net exports account for very little of overall u . s . growth ( and declining net exports were actually a negative for u . s . growth in 2010 and 2014 . )
edwards has packed his action with a flock of individual gags and routines but frequently the viewer isn’t too certain what’s happening . director draws good comedy portrayals from a talented cast headed by james coburn and dick shawn , both delivering bangup performances .
the fed was certainly not the only major central bank to engage in aggressive monetary policies in recent years , but critics argued that the dominant role of the u . s . dollar in international trade and finance made the fed’s actions particularly consequential . that raised the third , long - standing issue , of the broad economic implications of the dollar’s international role . does the dollar’s status asymmetrically benefit the united states ( that is , does the dollar provide the u . s . an “exorbitant privilege , ” as it was labeled by french finance minister valéry giscard d’estaing in 1965 ) ? does dollar dominance amplify the international effects of fed policies , or confer special responsibilities on the u . s . central bank ? i tackled all three critiques in
now we are told that liberals are waging a war on christmas , but none of the liberals i know has enlisted or taken up arms . i am all for inclusion , and believe that muslims and jews should have their holidays respected , that kwaanza should be acknowledged , and that buddhist , hindu , athiest , agnostic , unitarian , and other festivus - for - the - rest - of - us citizens do not need for others to assume that they are christian .
during world war ii , a commander finds himself stuck with a decrepit ( and pink ) submarine , a con man executive officer , and a group of army nurses .
britain’s army at the beginning of the first world war was relatively small and professional . there was no conscription of population before 1916 , and so recruitment of volunteers in large numbers became a huge challenge . the parliamentary recruitment committee was set up at the start of the war , and chaired by the prime minister , herbert asquith . it used local political party associations to form a network which campaigned through the circulation of leaflets and posters , and organising rallies and other public events . considerable social pressure was brought to bear on men to volunteer , and those who did not risked vilification as ‘shirkers’ or cowards . for many men , however , awareness of their responsibilities towards their families as wage earners proved a compelling disincentive to volunteer . often , the levels of compensation offered to the families of men who enlisted were not sufficient to avert the risk of destitution to wives and children or elderly parents . posters like this used that powerful sense of duty to family , but instead suggested that , in the future , children would hold their fathers to account on the service that they performed for their country rather than the social protection that they ensured for their immediate family . this poster shows a sophisticated use of art and imagery in provoking a powerful emotional response . these visually strong examples are among the best remembered , and more commonly reproduced , war posters . however , british recruitment posters were often much simpler in design , using only text and single colours .
wrong again . my posting was to no . 33 fis ( flying instructors school ) at norton , salisbury ( now harare ) still in southern rhodesia . here we flew airspeed oxfords and mk 11 harvards and practiced the instructor’s patter until we were deemed safe to return to an sfts to impart what knowledge we had accrued to the endless stream of potential pilots now leaving the efts’s .
i ' d like to give this another half star but that ' s not an option . it is a movie more of moments than constants . harry morgan ' s turn as the intelligence officer in the catacombs is the highlight . morgan was a comedic genius who always improved the material and made those around him look good , which is why he elevated mash when he replaced maclean stevenson . carol o ' connor is outshone by morgan ( as is everyone else ) in this vehicle . it ' s a harmless romp made by a generation that despite enduring the great depression , winning the second world war and the korean war didn ' t take itself too seriously . today i presume much of this material would be insensitive . sit down , make some popcorn , and enjoy the highlights and the absurdity of the situation and the resolution .

this british recruiting poster was produced in 1915 and has since become infamous for its use of emotional blackmail to urge men to enlist with the british army . produced by the london printers johnson riddle & co , it was conceived from the director arthur gunn’s own feelings of guilt at having not volunteered himself . seeing the persuasive potential of a child’s awkward questions to a shirking father in peacetime , gunn commissioned a poster picturing such a scene . although gunn joined with the westminster volunteers shortly after the poster’s publication , the poster became the source of much bitter trench humour on the western front . such was the resentment towards it in post - war britain that its creator , savile lumley , a children’s book illustrator , is said to have disowned it .
of course , in general , there is no guarantee that the two effects of monetary policy on trade will exactly offset . fortunately , additional protection against the threat of currency wars is enjoyed by countries that maintain flexible exchange rates . as milton friedman taught us long ago in his seminal 1953 essay , “the case for flexible exchange rates , ” if exchange rates are free to adjust , countries can ensure that the overall amount of stimulus being felt by their own economy is appropriate , independent of what other countries are doing .

blake edwards , who directs , also collabed on original story with maurice richlin . set against a world war ii backdrop – sicily , 1943 – the screenplay dwells on a single situation which holds promise but is never sufficiently realized .
wrong again ! on the 9th may ‘45 i was posted to no . 242 squadron at stoney cross in the new forest and found myself getting into an aeroplane which was about as far removed from a 3 ton oxford as you could be . this plane was a mk v short stirling of some 35 tons and was attached to transport command . the mk v was the last version of the stirling to be produced having the turrets and all armament removed and adapted for freight transport and passenger and troop carrying . the squadron was engaged in the task of moving personnel and supplies from the uk to india in support of the war effort in the far east . my duties were at first as co - pilot in which role i completed several trips to calcutta and then i was regraded as first pilot and continued to fly the india route with my own crew . i have to admit that my first few flights with my new crew were quite daunting as my navigator and wireless opp . were both ex bomber command and with two tours behind them and i was the rookie with no operations or 4 engine experience but quite a few flying hours . however they soon accepted me and we built up a good working and off duty relationship .
whatever happened to the wartime comedy ? and no , i don ' t mean a wartime comedy that is purely a satire , filled with mouthpiece characters and self - aware situations of a contrived irony . i mean , a plain and pure comic work that just so happens to take place in a war - setting . think of mister roberts , mash , i was a male war bride , and the russians are coming ! the russians are coming ! they used satirical elements , yes , but the filmmaker ' s main goal was the creation of a self - enclosed comic universe , defined by kooky characters , an eclectic tone ( outrageous ! distasteful ! …

as always , edwards knows how to stage a widescreen gag . this has much falling into fountains , as peter sellers did at the beginning of a shot in the dark . one scene where cash falls over a balcony into a fountain anticipates a late gag in the party . for that matter , all these edwards films were scripted by william peter blatty , who also later wrote edwards ' wwii movie darling lili , which has a funny scene of falling off a roof , so maybe it was blatty ' s bag . yes , this is the same blatty who would create the exorcist and prove himself a very interesting director with the criminally underseen the ninth configuration and exorcist iii .
