Cleo, a widow, longs to sell the diner, which is no longer making money for her, and start a new life of her own, but feels responsible for the care and feeding of her "captors"-Beau, a homeless, belligerent alcoholic; his best friend, the severely handicapped Ray Charles Jones; Lonny Lee Richardson, a schizophrenic from the Pinebrook home; and his new roommate, Pete White, a violent schizophrenic who has become nearly normal thanks to daily doses of Clozaril. Cleo is torn between moving on with her own life and her guilt at abandoning the men who seem to need her and the camaraderie of the diner so badly. Against her better judgment, Cleo finds herself drawn into a romantic attachment with Pete. But when he develops a fatal reaction to Clozaril and is taken off it, only to sink back into insanity, Cleo realizes that even the most troubled among us are a part of God's universe, and no matter how much we may love them, we are sometimes forced by life to move on.

Clare plans to serve the brand-new Honey-Cinnamon Latte at her spring wedding to her longtime honey, NYPD detective Mike Quinn. The culinary world is also abuzz about the amazing honey that Clare was lucky enough to source for her shop's new latte. Produced by Madame's old friend "Queen" Bea Hastings, the rare, prize-winning nectar from Bea's rooftop hives commands a premium price, and top chefs compete for a chance to use it in their signature seasonal dishes. One night, a swarm of escaped bees blanket the Village Blend's chimney, and Clare discovers Bea's unconscious body after she seemingly fell from her high-rise rooftop-hive setup. The police want to rule it a tragic accident or possible attempted suicide, but Clare does not believe either theory. Like Madame, she knows this Queen would never abandon her hive. To solve the mystery, Clare investigates a world of cutthroat chefs, culinary start-ups, and competitive urban beekeepers. But can she uncover the truth without getting stung?

Download or read book Agnes Varda written by Kelley Conway and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-11-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both a precursor to and a critical member of the French New Wave, Agnès Varda weaves documentary and fiction into tapestries that portray distinctive places and complex human beings. Critics and aficionados have celebrated Varda's independence and originality since the New Wave touchstone Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962) brought her a level of international acclaim she has yet to relinquish. Film historian Kelley Conway traces Varda's works from her 1954 debut La Pointe Courte through a varied career that includes nonfiction and fiction shorts and features, installation art, and the triumphant 2008 documentary The Beaches of Agnès . Drawing on Varda's archives and conversations with the filmmaker, Conway focuses on the concrete details of how Varda makes films: a project's emergence, its development and the shifting forms of its screenplay, the search for financing, and the execution from casting through editing and exhibition. In the process, she departs from film history's traditional view of the French New Wave and reveals one artist's nontraditional trajectory through independent filmmaking. The result is an intimate consideration that reveals the artistic consistencies and bold changes in the career of one of the world's most exuberant and intriguing directors.

Download or read book Have I Got Dogs for You written by Anthony Linick and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have I Got Dogs For You! continues its exploration of daily life in Londons Paddington Recreation Ground. The society pictured in this account is a unique one, an ever-changing kaleidoscope of dogs and their owners. The dogs represent most of the popular breeds and many of the mutt-like mixtures as so do their accompanying humans, who come from diverse nationalities and from many walks of life: professionals and job seekers, young and old, family members and loners. They are united in their love of dogs, and on the central green of the park, on its walkways and at the caf where they gather after exercising their animals, they often let this affection for dogs carry them into friendships that transcend park life and involve many of them in additional social activities. The book is also the story of Fritz the Schnauzer and provides a daily record of his antics and the folkways of the rest of the crew, human and canine. Not only do we have an insight into the relationship of man and beast but a glimpse into London life as it experienced in the first decade of the 21st Century. Such a life, we know, is full of struggles and tensions and these are certainly reflected in this chronicle and so is a lot of good canine fun.
