Lawrence, John (1753-1839) (DNB00)
LAWRENCE, JOHN (1753–1839), writer on horses, born at or near Colchester, 22 Jan., and baptised at St. Martin's, Colchester, 21 Feb. 1763, was the son of John (1707–1763) and Anne Lawrence (1722–1810). His father and grandfather were brewers. About the age of fifteen Lawrence wrote an essay 'in favour of kindness to animals.' probably when at a grammar school. Soon afterwards he is said to have invested in a stock farm the money left to him on the death of his father, and he paid a first visit to Smithfield in 1777. In 1787, while living at Bury St. Edmunds, apparently near his farm, he began to write for the press. His first publications were anonymous and political. 'The Patriot's Calendar.' 1794–5–6, contains the information usually to be found in English almanacs, together with a translation of the new French republican constitution and other facts interesting to admirers of the French revolution. 'Rights and Remedies' (1795), dedicated to Earl Stanhope 'by one of the new sect of the moralists, is a more ambitious defence of France and the rights of man. Lawrence's hand can be traced in the remarks on live stock (pt. ii. p. 179, &c.) In 1796, on the title-page of a little book on farriery, Lawrence described himself as late of Lambeth Marsh, Surrey. The preface is addressed from Bury St. Edmunds. In the same year appeared the first volume of the first edition of his 'Philosophical and Practical Treatise on Horses.' In 1799 he began to contribute to the 'Sporting Magazine.' In 1800 he published anonymously 'The New Farmer's Calendar,' of which an entire edition was exhausted in a few months ; it was followed by a treatise on land stewardship (1801). In both of these works he advocated the painless killing of beasts for food. He was now advertising for a position as landlord's agent. In 'A Treatise on Cattle' (1805) in which he strongly recommended ox labour, may be found, says Donaldson, 'a mass of varied information of the most useful kind' (Agricultural Biography, 1854, p. 81). About 1810 he appears to have been living near London; at one time he was a resident of Somers Town. In 1813 he wrote, under the pseudonym of Bonington Moubray, a treatise on breeding poultry, rabbits, cows, swine, bees, &c, 'long esteemed the best,' says Donaldson (op. cit. p. 105), who did not know the real author. 'British Field Sports' (1818), which he published under the name of W. H. Scott, contains 'a system of sporting ethics,' with a view to root out ' that horrible propensity in the human breast, a sense of sport and delight in witnessing the tortures of brute animals.' Two years later, in ' The Sportsman's Repository,' he again deals with 'zoo-ethiology, or that part of ethics or morality which defines and teaches the moral treatment of beasts.' About 1821 Richard Martin [q. v.] of Galway consulted him before he introduced into parliament the bill against cruelty to animals (1822).
Lawrence also worked for the booksellers, and at one time was editor and proprietor of a magazine. He was a contributor to the 'Gentleman's Magazine' and other periodicals, and made collections for a history of his own time. At the end of his life Lawrence took a small house at Peckham, near London. After a short illness he died 17 Jan. 1839, in his eighty-sixth year. He was buried at Norwood. There is an engraving of Lawrence at an advanced age by Holl after Wivell. About the age of thirty he married Ann Barton, by whom he had one son and five daughters, only the youngest of whom left children.
Although three editions of Lawrence's 'Treatise on Horses' were published, his name was almost entirely forgotten until the republication of some chapters by Mr. E. B. Nicholson in 'The Rights of an Animal,' 1879. Throughout a long life and in nearly every one of his numerous publications Lawrence taught the duty of humanity to animals, at times expostulating with cruel drovers and market-men, and always exerting himself to raise the tone of public opinion on the subject. He was a thorough sportsman, and considered well-regulated boxing-matches 'worthy the attention of a martial people.' and a cock-fight 'a legitimate object of curiosity,' although he regarded bull-baiting as 'a detestable business,' and bear-baiting 'an infamous and degrading practice.' His books show knowledge and shrewdness, but he had no idea of literary arrangement, and he was unable to restrain a too facile pen. In politics he was a strong liberal, and he departed somewhat from strict orthodoxy in religion. Personally he was a man of imposing presence and fond of music and conviviality. He 'was certainly an eccentric, but if the shell was husljy, the kernel was sound' (Sporting Magazine, May 1839, p. 63).
His works are : 1. 'The Patriot's Calendar' for 1794, 1795, 1796, London, 1793-4-5, 16mo (anonymous). 2. 'Rights and Remedies, or the Theory and Practice of true Politics, with a View of the Evils of the Present War and a Proposal of immediate Peace,' London, 1795, 2 parts, 8vo (anonymous). 3.

What did I say about the railway yesterday? Only one goods train???? As soon as it got dark the trains came one after the other. By 11pm all went quiet so we breathed a sigh of relief. Then suddenly... OMG....heart pounding and a thundering noise ringing in our ears. Another goods train but so loud that I honestly thought our time was up. The caravan shook and I was convinced we were going to be flattened. Took a while to calm down and sleep was very intermittent after that. The early start mentioned yesterday materialised. By 8am we were all hitched ready to go. In the distance, the trainers were already racing the trotters, not every day one gets to see that.
|And hose down to cool off.
|Another lovely flowering tree
|The highest risk since we have been here.
A caravan park was found very near to the highway, so little used that noise wasn't an issue (not like the UK motorways) and after lunch went to see what was around. We choose the wrong day to arrive. Thursday is closing day, not for the shops but for all the attractions we wanted to see. We particularly wanted to visit the Historic Waterworks dated 1880s as it was one of the first regional centres to supply piped drinking water to its residents. It has remained intact with a pump house and a working steam beam engine. It is the only complete, steam-powered municipal water supply left in its original location in the Southern Hemisphere. The buildings and engine are of national significance and are now protected by a permanent conservation order. Wish we had gone so I could have a least got a photo. There are one or two on the web so I have put a link of one of them here.
And another closed museum, the War Memorial. All we could do was look around the outside and admire the views from the hill.
We expect rain tonight and possible thunderstorms. Still, in the upper 20s, we could do with it cooling down a bit. Tomorrow we will be back in Kiama, the first leg of our adventure complete. I can't believe how quick it's gone.
And bugs and insects today. The first 6 was in the shower block! Before you wonder why I took the camera into the shower, I didn't...at first. Went back later with the camera specifically to take them.

Leases And Tenants - The Spooky Tenant
You, Mr. Landlord are pleased to find qualified tenants for your rental house. The man and woman sign a one-year lease on Tuesday.
On Thursday the male tenant contacts you and says they have changed their minds because his girlfriend thinks she sees "dead people" in the bathroom.
He expects you to cancel the lease!
What do you do, hire an exorcist?
No, you smile and softly explain... "Listen Bub, that was a legal contract you signed. It binds both of us to everything printed on those sheets of paper.... the laws says so, that's who!
And that's true... both parties must agree to break a legal contract... it can't be done unilaterally (usually). In this case the contract is the well prepared, solid gold lease.
Is your reluctant tenant on the hook for an entire year's worth of monthly lease payments?
It brings a tear to the eye of we hard boiled landlords... but he probably is not obligated to pay rent for the entire year.
Courts have ruled that the landlord has to make a good-faith effort to find a new tenant for the unit as soon as possible.
As soon as one is found the original crybaby is released from the contract.
The cost of renting to the new tenant can be deducted from the security deposit you collected from Mr. Crybaby. That includes advertising and a copy of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas you give him as a go-away gift.

I'm sure this is a completely superfluous reminder, given that you'd never miss an opportunity to be a good citizen – and you'd really never just disregard my suggestion two weeks ago to get yourself to a ballot box.
But just in case you happen to know someone who's not quite as conscientious as you are, here's one more reminder that tomorrow is Election Day for the Texas primaries. It's your last chance to pick the Democratic or Republican nominees for the November election – barring a runoff next month, anyway.
So go vote— I mean, go have that person you're acquainted with vote. It's the best way to spend a tiny part of your Tuesday.
(And so I don't get anyone in trouble, if you voted early as I asked you to do two weeks ago, don't go vote a second time. That would be wrong. This message doesn't really apply to you since you complied initially.)
I wrote a couple of months back about water planning and how important it is for the state's future. As I said then, I'm still really proud of the work we did when I was Austin's Mayor to prepare for the city's needs over the next 100 years.
But like I said, and we have a whole lot more work to do before our region – and our state, for that matter – should feel as confident.
That's one reason I'm so encouraged by the process that the Lower Colorado River Authority is going through to map out the region's water needs – and strategies for meeting those needs – over the next 90 years.
The LCRA started working on its Water Supply Resource Plan more than a year ago and now has a draft plan. They'll hold an open house next Monday, the eighth, to get feedback on the draft before it goes to the full LCRA board. The open house will be at the LCRA Service Center, 3505 Montopolis Drive, Building A, in Austin.
They're also inviting folks to fill out an online survey about various water management strategies. You can take the survey through March 19 here.
Options range from the easy, cheap and obvious (i.e. lots and lots of conservation) to the … well, less easy, considerably less cheap, and quite controversial (new reservoirs, desalination, importation of groundwater, and other ideas that start fist fights among otherwise mild-mannered people who follow these things).
This is one of those issues that can seem really tough to understand. But it's also critically important to our kids, grandkids, and pretty much anyone who wants clean water coming out of faucets around here in 20 years. I'll definitely keep you posted as the process moves forward.

May 2005-
"Making an airport outta a golf course was about the fairest thing I ever heard of."
Our friend L.G. Poteet, South Texas rancher, pilot and part-time oil millionaire, finally found a way to get me to visit him. He invited me for a round on the nine-hole golf course he owns in the Glass Mountains between Alpine and Ft. Stockton, an area about 250 miles east of El Paso and 275 west of San Antonio, just past the end of the world.
As we were tying down our borrowed 172 at Alpine Municipal Airport, L.G. (which stands for Laverne Gail, but which only his momma can call him) strode out of Alpine Aviation dressed appropriately for Texas golf: Resistol hat, safari shirt and shorts and red Luchesse boots embellished with Texas A&M logo and fitted with spikes.

Yay! I did it... I stuck it out and raced in Antarctic conditions hehe.
My friend George and I left before the awards as we were cold and hungry. Overall Female I got 3rd and 1st in my age group. So, not too shabby.
Did my 10min run and 10min bike warm up and by then was actually not feeling so frozen, except my toes which were completely numb.
The first run 5k was good. I went on perceived race pace effort as I was wearing my HR strap from my powermeter for bike download. Mile one came at 6:19, and I was feeling like I could hold sub-6:30s after all...I had serious doubts about that this morning when I realized my genious had forgotten my inhaler in Dallas!!! It was actually a cool run course...mostly trail and flat.
Went into transition in 21 so did slow down after the first mile, bummer, but I wasn't disappointed. The bike felt really good, I'm feeling strong on the bike- those power workouts on the trainer the last couple of weeks have paid off! The roads were awesome and we had great lane closures for the race. It was two loops for 21miles. The end of the loop had some nice rollers :) From out of nowhere though, the wind that was non-existent before the start had turned Hawi-like haha. So head wind for about 6-7 miles of the 10.5 mile loop and the rest tailwind. I'm happy with my bike. If I could go back, I'd probably take it a little easier the first 2-3 miles...I think I hammered too hard. That seems to be a problem with me- taking it easy at the beginning!!
Second 5k...this is where I wanted to kill myself for forgetting my inhaler. My chest/lungs/throat were painful and pillow-stuffed. Leg wise- I settled into running rythm after 1.5miles. 22:53 so much slower than the first 5k. At the finish the breathing was scary but I walked it off, drank some warm water and it eventually settled down.
Conclusion: I'm happy with my effort, I gave it my all, learned my lessons (don't forget inhaler, conserve the first few minutes of the run and bike).
Well, plannin on chilling the rest of the day and probably get in the cold water at Barton Springs for a mock "ice-bath".
Looking forward to UT masters swim tomorrow morning and then hopefully a traffic free drive back to Dallas!
Recovery, EAT UP

Top 100 Houston restaurant: Vic & Anthony's
This is one of the few steakhouses where the quality of the cooking can lure me in when I'm not in full-on beef mode. Chef Michael O'Connor runs a tight ship on which even a spinach salad arrives jumping with sparkling contrasts — punchy sherry vinaigrette, chewy lardons of house-cured bacon, soft slips of avocado, delicate orbs of gently boiled quail egg. Shards of sesame brittle write a final surprise. It's also the only kitchen I trust with a live Maine lobster: the steaming is that fastidious, the dewy creature split wide and presented with claws unshelled. Wet-aged Prime steaks from a variety of fine sources are carefully done, there's something for everyone from folks on a budget (skirt steak with chimichurri) to free-spending whales (40-ounce Akaushi tomahawk).
WHAT TO ORDER: Wedge salad with Roquefort; spinach salad; live Maine lobster; risotto with corn, corn milk, mushrooms and cotija cheese; bone-in rib-eye; from the lunch menu, the burgers or the chicken-fried New York strip with Jack Daniel's gravy.
PRO TIP: That spendy live lobster is big enough for two.
EXPLORE OUR TOP 100: It's consistent quality that has kept 42 restaurants featured in Alison Cook's 2012 lineup in the Top 100 mix today. Cook's choices stay at the top of their game in their respective class, whether that be high or low, pricey or affordable.

Cab-forward layout
The exterior has a cab-forward design, taking cues from Jaguar's 2010 C-X75 supercar with a coupelike silhouette. Callum calls the design "bold" and a new direction for EVs.
Jaguar said the vehicle can be 80 percent charged in 90 minutes and 100 percent in two hours using 50kW DC fast charging.
The concept has a Jaguar-developed, liquid-cooled 90kWh lithium ion battery pack, that uses pouch cells that are energy dense and has a better thermal performance. The pack covers the entire floor of the vehicle, lowering the center of gravity and boosting the dynamic performance, Jaguar says.
"The opportunities offered by an electric powertrain are huge. Electric vehicles offer designers much greater freedom, and it is an opportunity we must grasp. This is why the I-PACE Concept is developed on a new architecture which has been designed to optimize electric vehicle performance, aerodynamics and interior space."
The I-Pace Concept has the dimensions of a compact crossover with a 117.7-inch wheelbase. It is slightly shorter than the standard F-Pace but features a longer wheelbase than the F-Pace. Overall, it is 184.3 inches long and 74.4 inches wide with a height of 61.4 inches.
The I-Pace has a low hood and wide wheel arches to give it a sporty look. It features a hood scoop and full LED headlights. The rear has a composite spoiler to reduce lift at higher speeds.

Find all the latest marketing trends on the J&C Blog.
A well-optimized landing page is the cornerstone of a content strategy and the backbone to a website. This seemingly simple web form allows a company to capture a visitor's information, typically in exchange for information in the form of an ebook, video, kit, etc.
Landing pages allow a brand to more effectively achieve the goal of converting website visitors into new customer leads by making an offer easily attainable. Once a website visitor fills out a form they should be instantly classified into a CRM system as a potential lead, and if you're really utilizing this tool, categorized by what stage in the buying process this individual is most likely in. This practice allows a business to turn around and send customized communications to further nurture a lead into a customer – potentially even a reccurring buyer.
There you have it, landing pages are important. So, why do you think that new research from Ascend2, a marketing research firm, suggests that almost a quarter (23%) of marketers do not perform any landing page testing to determine its level of success?
Beats me.
Despite this general lack of interest in landing page testing, 93% of the 342 marketers surveyed by Ascend2 consider landing page conversion rates the most important metric for judging the success of the page. Landing pages and lead generation go together like peanut butter and fluff (New England reference for the win!), yet there's disconnect between the tool and the goal. If businesses wish to up their lead generation game, landing page testing is a sure-fire way to make the most out of resources already being used.
What is A/B Testing?
For those just dipping their toes in the waters of A/B testing, it is the practice in which a control (A) is tested against a variable (B). With landing pages, the goal is to identify the changes in design, copy, technology and form field requirements that hinder conversion. It's not uncommon for savvy digital marketers to conduct A/B testing on emails, banner ads, landing pages, call-to-action buttons, etc. Here at Jacobs and Clevenger, A/B testing is a must-have step in any campaign and we've called a few winners and losers concerning landing pages for our programs.
For example, for Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) Guide to Lighting Controls and Occupancy Sensors landing page we tested the length of the copy and the title CTA.
Can you guess the winner?
For the purposes of this test, we found that shorter copy and using the title of the ebook versus a more generalized CTA worked better. Because of our A/B testing, this ebook download landing page has achieved a program-to-date conversion rate of 7.49% as of June 30, 2015. With further testing and optimizing the page's conversion rate may continue to rise.
Meanwhile, we're still in the process of testing a new landing page design (Version B) versus the more traditional style featured in the control (Version A). So far the data is inconclusive and we're continuing to run the A/B test until we feel more confident in calling a winner.
What Landing Page Elements Should be A/B Tested?
Landing pages are touted as the most effective online lead generating tactic by 44% of marketers surveyed by Ascend2. Yet, 45% of those marketers claimed that they struggle to optimize their landing pages. Let's see if we can clear up some of the confusion concerning landing pages here.
Despite being a seemingly simple page, landing pages hold a variety of elements that require testing to optimize them for better performance, including:
• Headline
• Copy
• Form fill requirements
• Images
• Design
Benefits of A/B Testing Landing Pages
Modern marketers know that data is an invaluable component to the development and maintenance of their strategies. C-level executives and clients require measurable efforts as proof of a return on investment, while the information also allows marketers to fine-tune strategies and remain nimble.
In an article written for Harvard Business Review, Wyatt Jenkins, the VP of Product at Shutterstock, discusses how A/B testing has advanced the business.
At Shutterstock, everything is tested, including copy and link colors, relevance algorithms that rank search results, language detection functions, usability and downloading, pricing, video-playback design and even more front-end and back-end features. This has allowed the business to become the world's largest creative marketplace for more than 750,000 customers.
A/B testing means that Shutterstock knows more about their customers, statistically, than other brand competitors. This same benefit holds true for marketers who are A/B testing their landing pages.
By utilizing A/B testing, marketers learn more about their customers and in return, increase the number of their customers and their lifetime value. For content marketing purposes, landing page optimization through A/B testing facilitates greater content reach. Your ebooks, videos and guides are all able to garner the attention of your intended audience, spreading your expertise and improving your reputation like ripples in water.
When J&C first started working with PG&E, conversion rates for landing pages were low – 1.06%. So, we set an ambitious goal – to reach an overall landing page conversion rate between 5 and 7%. Now, just six months later, we've reached a landing page conversion rate of 8.16%, thanks to strategic planning and A/B testing our landing pages.
According to the Ascend2 research, only 23% of marketers are using internal resource to execute landing page creation, including content creation, optimizing the pages for SEO, designing and developing the pages and analyzing. For marketing teams looking to instill landing page best practices and get the most out of these lead generation machines, it may take external sources.

Table of contents
Origin and development of the rule
Cleaver v Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association
It appears to me that no system of jurisprudence can with reason include amongst the rights which it enforces rights directly resulting to the person asserting them from the crime of that person.3
This principle of public policy, like all such principles, must be applied to all cases to which it can be applied without reference to the particular character of the right asserted or the form of its assertion… It would equally apply, it appears to me, to the case of a cestui que trust asserting a right as such by reason of the murder of the prior tenant for life or of the assured in a policy; and it must be so far regarded in the construction of Acts of Parliament that general words which might include cases obnoxious to this principle must be read and construed as subject to it.5
[It is] [t]rue that [Cleaver] was a case of murder, but I do not think that, by using terms wide enough to cover manslaughter, the members of the Court supposed themselves to be speaking obiter, or were in fact doing so. The principle can only be expressed in that wide form. It is that a man shall not slay his benefactor and thereby take his bounty; and I cannot understand why a distinction should be drawn between the rule of public policy where the criminality consists in murder and the rule where the criminality consists in manslaughter.7
Subsequent development
The difficulty was that the [forfeiture] rule was devised by judges to solve the necessities of particular cases. It developed without a great deal of consideration, either of its scope, or of its exceptions, or of its fundamental underlying rationale. The result has been controversy as to the scope, uncertainty about the exceptions, and confusion as to
the rationale.17
Departure from the inflexible application of the rule
Application to different forms of manslaughter
I am not deciding that a man who has committed manslaughter would, in any circumstances, be prevented from enforcing a contract of indemnity in respect of any liability he may have incurred for causing death or from inheriting under a will or upon the intestacy of anyone whom he has killed. Manslaughter is a crime which varies infinitely in its seriousness. It may come very near to murder or amount to little more than inadvertence, although in the latter class of case the jury only rarely convicts.20
The logical test, in my judgment, is whether the person seeking the indemnity was guilty of deliberate, intentional and unlawful violence or threats of violence. If he was, and death resulted therefrom, then, however unintended the final death of the victim may have been, the court should not entertain a claim for indemnity.21
Consideration of moral culpability
The rule we are applying here is essentially a judge-made rule, it is a rule of public policy and it is open to a judge whilst recognising the importance of all that has been said beforehand, to make the pronouncement if he thinks it appropriate as to the limitations of the rule for his particular age.28
I consider the fundamental question is to determine whether the taking of a benefit by a person through his crime would be unconscionable as representing an unjust enrichment of that person so as to attract the public policy rule.30
It is neither possible nor desirable to seek to lay down a list of factors that may give rise to relief from the forfeiture rule. Suffice to say that the present case is not one in which the rule should operate to prevent the granting of probate.34
[t]o determine whether the taking of a benefit by the younger brother through his crime would be unconscionable as representing an unjust enrichment to him so as to attract the rule of public policy, that is, the judge made rule that a person should not benefit from the commission of a crime.35
Reinstatement of the traditional formulation
I am not saying that public policy is an inflexible concept incapable of changing with the views of right thinking people of the time. But on an issue like the present it is not for an individual judge to seek to ascertain and set what he thinks public policy should be in this day and age. To recognise an exception to the forfeiture rule in the terms enunciated by Coldrey J is to deny the rule's existence.42
The rule as it applies in Victoria
In my opinion, the law in this State in cases of succession to property pursuant to a will or on an intestacy and the forfeiture rule can be summarised as follows:-
(1) It is a rule of public policy that no person can enforce a right directly resulting to the person as a result of that person's crime.
(2) The rule applies to situations where a person seeks to enforce a right to property arising under a will or as a result of legislation providing for distribution on an intestacy.
(3) That the rule applies in murder cases and manslaughter cases.
(4) It does not apply in cases where the beneficiary is insane at the time of the commission of the crime.
(5) In its application to manslaughter cases it does not depend upon moral culpability or any other factor.
(6) Whilst the beneficiary is precluded from taking under the will or on an intestacy, nevertheless he or she may be able to establish a right to property pursuant to some other branch of the law and in circumstances where the person does not benefit from his or her crime.44
Legislative responses
United Kingdom
having regard to the conduct of the offender and the deceased and to such circumstances as appear to the court to be material, the justice of the case requires the effect of the rule to be so modified in that case.49
Australian Capital Territory
This Bill recognises … that there are circumstances in which the rule can operate harshly. For example, there may be cases in family situations where a death occurs as a result of the actions of a battered spouse in instances of domestic violence. In circumstances of this kind the courts have not always produced consistent rulings, in part because of the constraints which have been imposed by the perceived wide ambit of the forfeiture rule. The Forfeiture Bill aims to remove the doubt surrounding this kind of case and to ensure that the question of moral culpability is one which can be fully taken into account by the courts when assessing a claim against the deceased's property.54
1 What has been the effect of the Forfeiture Act 1991 (ACT) on the application and operation of the forfeiture rule in the Australian Capital Territory?
New South Wales
The proposed legislation recognises that there are varying degrees of moral culpability in unlawful killings, and legislation is necessary to give judges sufficient discretion to make orders in deserving cases in the interests of justice.59
Exception for people with mental illness
Codification of the rule
New Zealand
the question whether a particular class of killing is sufficiently abhorrent to attract the application of the bar on profits is one of policy, rather than one of legal technique. For this reason it should be settled clearly and completely by Parliament.72
United States of America

Actress Julie Harris's Recipe: How to Make a Cheese Souffle
Actress Julie Harris' Favorite Cheese Souffle Recipe
This should be an easy cheese souffle to make. Julie wrote that if you wished, you could use Romano cheese, or any other to your liking.
In any event, the following cheese souffle is presented exactly the way Julie Harris would have prepared it. And since it serves two, you have to wonder if she ever made this on the set of East of Eden to share with her handsome co-star James Dean, or maybe later with actor Paul Newman when they filmed Harper in 1966.
Who Is Julie Harris?
Actress Julie Harris was a star of stage, television, and cinema. Some of her Hollywood movie credits include East of Eden, The Haunting, You're a Big Boy Now, Requiem For a Heavyweight, Reflections in a Golden Eye, Gorillas in the Mist, and many others.
On television, from 1980 to 1987, she played Lilimae Clements on Knot's Landing.
Born in Michigan in 1925, she broke into acting on the New York stage. She was eventually nominated for 10 Tony Awards, of which she won five. She also won three Emmys, a Grammy, and a Best Actress Academy Award nomination.
During her storied career, she acted opposite some of Hollywood's biggest male heartthrobs, including James Dean, Paul Newman, and Marlon Brando.
In 2005, she was named a Kennedy Center Honoree along with Robert Redford, Tina Turner, and Tony Bennett.
Harris retired in 2009, a year before suffering a career-ending stroke, and passed away in 2013 from congestive heart failure.

How I Acquired Julie's Cheese Souffle Recipe
I've been an autograph dealer and collector for over 40 years. During the past four decades, I occasionally purchased recipes that celebrities were kind enough to send to a fan who requested one. In several cases, I was able to purchase recipes that had been collected for the purpose of publishing in a planned cookbook.
This original simple cheese souffle recipe was Julie Harris' favorite, and she was kind enough to share it with one of her fans.
And now, I'm sharing it with you, and I hope you like it enough to add it to your list of best cheese souffle recipes!

Our clients come to us in order to assist them in refinancing or re-mortgaging their property and other assets after reviewing their facility letter or simply because their mortgage term is due to expire, or their lender has intimated that they want our client to either sell their loan or to refinance or re-mortgage their property. Very often our clients are also seeking to take advantage of lower interest rates, consolidating debt or reducing loan repayments.
- The borrower's Loan is about to expire or has expired.
- The borrower's existing facility provides for a managed sale of properties over the remainder of the term of the facility.
- The borrower is being overcharged.
- The borrower's lender is moving out of Ireland and the borrower has been given an ultimatum to refinance.
- The borrower's Loan has been sold to a Piranha lender and the borrower needs to refinance otherwise that lender will put them into liquidation, receivership or bankruptcy.
- The borrower's lender is willing to do a deal if they refinance. This might be a write off or a sale of the loan in exchange for payment and/or various other conditions.
Preparing to refinance or re-mortgage your property and assets.
Key to successful refinancing and re-mortgaging is getting the figures right – what is it going to save you and what doors does it open? It may be simply the case that you want to push the decision of a sale of assets out for another 5 years or that you expect values to rise during the interim. Figure out what the overall cost is going to be taking into consideration arrangement fees, interest, exit fees, legal fees and associated costs. Costs will also be incurred when discharging your existing loan, such as a discharge fee, legal costs, early repayment fees, interest break costs and more. Of course, these costs can be very high if you have a fixed interest loan.
Also remember that your new lending institution will also have fees, which may include an arrangement fee, valuation fee, legal costs, title searches, registration fees and more. They may also insist on you reviewing your insurance, carrying out a survey and/or valuation, getting tax advice and other requirements.
If you have made a decision to refinance or re-mortgage your property or assets, you will need to speak to a solicitor to obtain advice and ensure that the transfer of your loan from your existing lender to your new lender happens smoothly without any fuss.

Each month one member of The Urban List team will be sharing their current obsessions, and—shock—not all of it's edible!
This month, Urban List Perth Communications Executive, Chloe Lyons shares her new favourite everythings: from the best podcast and workout, to her new shoes, here's what on her radar.
Bioderma Sensibio H20 Solution Micellar Cleanser
Never has a cult beauty product lived up to its expectations more than this magical little bottle of fancy water. It removes even the most stubborn of waterproof makeup without damaging skin in the process. You don't even have to rinse!
Melissa shoes
Shoes that smell like bubblegum? Yes please! There is so much to love about Melissa shoes. They're comfy, cute and can be washed. They'll basically last forever because they are made of plastic. I'm loving my Jason Wu Jean IV flatties right now.
The Simple Veganista
I am by no means a vegan, but I do enjoy eating tasty, healthy food which abounds on the pages of The Simple Veganista's blog. My all time fave recipe has to be the roasted nourish bowl with homemade hummus.
Power Plate
Having to eat doughnuts and burgers as part of my job has certainly had an impact on my waistline, so these days I've been keeping up with regular Power Plate classes at the Perth Pilates Studio. They are high-intensity workouts, performed on a vibrating platform and reportedly burn double the amount of calories in half the time of a regular workout. Sounds good to me!
Happier with Gretchen Rubin
For my weekly dose of self-improvement tips I tune in to Happier, a podcast by best-selling American author Gretchen Ruben. Each week Gretchen, a self-confessed happiness bully, and her sister Elizabeth, a TV writer and producer, focus on a happiness habit which can be incorporated into our everyday lives. The habits are simple things like making the bed everyday or cleaning out the closet. Whether I take on the new habits or not, it's still a fun and upbeat podcast to get me through the morning commute.
Delicious Days in Paris
Prepping for my upcoming honeymoon in Paris, I've been getting my nose stuck into Delicious Days in Paris by Jane Paeche. It contains tons of walking tours based around my favourite thing in the whole world, food. I've had to stop reading it before bedtime as I found myself reaching for midnight snacks all too often.
Chantecaille Lip Chic Lipsticks
Combining the perfect amount of pigment and shine in one sophisticated metallic tube, the Chantecaille Lip Chic lipsticks have been featuring high in my makeup rotation of late. My favourite shades are Anais and Tea Rose because they offer a pretty pink/nude flush to the lips. The Chantecaille formula plumps the lips and isn't sticky.
Any hairstyle by Ahn Co Tran
The Ahn Co Tran hairstyle pics that pop up in my Pinterest feed have got me lusting after shoulder length wavy locks like you wouldn't believe. So much so that I booked an appointment with my fave stylist at Kave Studio to get my hair did immediately after my wedding!
Muji 0.5 Gel Ink Pens
It's a good thing there are no Muji stores in Perth as I wouldn't have a dime left in my wallet. I picked up a pack of these 0.5 gel ink pens on a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur and I can't get enough of them. They're super smooth and the bright colours make writing to-do lists a whole lot more fun!
Grace and Frankie on Netflix
I have a penchant for movies and TV shows about old people (It's Complicated is pretty much my favourite movie of all time), so it was no surprise that I developed an addiction to Grace and Frankie on Netflix. The show follows two older ladies (Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin) who's husbands break it off with them to be with each other. Drama and comedy ensues as the two women learn to live together at their shared beach house.

More than 60 per cent of people with dementia are estimated to have three or more other conditions (co-morbidities).
The research shows how the combined effects of co-morbidities including diabetes, lung disease, arthritis and chronic heart failure are not being adequately described in dementia trials.
It investigates the extent of co-morbidities in people with dementia and the recording of medication usage in clinical trials, for the first time.
Previous research has found that medication cocktails make it difficult to show whether new dementia drugs are working.
Researchers hope that the findings will lead to better reporting of co-morbidities and medication use in future trials, and benefit the search for a cure.
There are 36 million people worldwide with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia and this expected to double by 2030 and reach 115 million by 2050 unless a major breakthrough is made.
Lead researcher Dr Chris Fox from UEA's Norwich Medical School said: "To date, research on the specific physical healthcare needs of people with dementia has been neglected.
"We took into account nine trials, all of which had recorded data about comorbidities. But a further 15 studies had not recorded data on comorbidities. This shows that dementia trials are failing – which is why we are not making progress.
"Falls, malnutrition, frailty, incontinence, sleep disorders and sight problems are found to occur more frequently in dementia sufferers and untreated can lead to more severe health problems, pain and distress, as well as worsening the symptoms of dementia. And as the severity of the dementia worsens, so does the rate of comorbid conditions.
"But many physical comorbidities are often treatable and some may be reversible. Pneumonia, urinary tract infection, congestive cardiac failure and dehydration account for more than two thirds of preventable dementia admissions.
"The biggest problem is that it is often difficult for people with dementia to communicate that they have another medical complaint. This leads to poor reporting of medical comorbidities," he added.
Dr Ian Maidment from Aston University said: "We found that medication usage was poorly reported. This is important, because our previous research has found that many medications work against new drugs designed to treat dementia potentially making it difficult to prove whether or not these new drugs actually work. Ultimately this may undermine the commitment by the G8 to find new drugs to treat dementia."
The team from UEA, Aston University, the University of Hull and Bradford Institute for Health Research looked at information about 1474 people with dementia from nine randomised control trials.
The study found that comorbidity was rife – the most prevalent conditions being neurological disorders (91 per cent) vascular disorders (91 per cent), cardiac disorders (74 per cent) and depression (59 per cent).
'Systematic review investigating the reporting of comorbidities and medication in randomized controlled trials of people with dementia' and published in the September edition of Age and Ageing alongside a commentary piece 'The importance of detecting and managing comorbidities in people with dementia'.

saâda bonaire - you could be more as you are (7inch).mp3
- the saucer people hat gesagt…
Well dug sir, the Saâda Bonaire "You Could Be More As You Are" track has never come across my radar before...another one of those records that you wonder why it isn't more well known....I thought I detected a kinda skanking spatial dub vibe to the record and it all makes sense now as UK reggae/dub producer Dennis Bovell was at the producer controls (and also responsible for that killer steel guitar riff)...he produced such a range of great music in my collection; The Slits, Pop Group, The remix of The Raincoats classic 'Animal Rhapsody' and my favourite Viola Wills track Viola Wills "(Gonna Get Along) Without You Now""...actually second favourite, "If You Could Read My Mind" is my favourite but I digress
Strange, I know a lot of his work but never came across this before...actually records like this are usually kept a secret so the price doesn't go through the roof!
I am just drooling over the 12 inch version though cannot see any for sale...wonder what that sounds like??! And the other two tracks 'Invitation' and 'Funky Way'..whats the James Brown cover on the b-side like? Very interested to know...
- 28. November 2010 um 00:32
- christian hat gesagt…
the 12 inch is very hard to get but you must look at second hand record stores in germany. one friend find one 12 inch copy for 5 euro!
the b side of the 12 is super too, invitation is killer, you can listen to it on youtube.

What is evidence? Is someone else's online tree 'evidence'? There are some accurate and well researched family trees online. Equally there are some that are beyond fanciful, with people having children five years after they have died, or at the age of three. Then there are the creative genealogists who subscribe to such theories as, 'They got married in 1825 so they must have been born in 1800', because of course everyone gets married at the age of 25. Or 'I have someone of roughly the right name in roughly the right place, the age is a couple of years out but hey it must be him.' Have you actually looked for alternatives? How complete are the indexes you are using? Could there be equally, or even more, suitable alternatives in records that have yet to be included in that index? How well do you actually understand the data set that you are asking your subscription website of choice to search? And then there is my pet hate, 'He was baptised in 1750 so he must have been born in 1750'. Why? How do you know? Do you actually have any evidence beyond the knowledge that the majority of baptisms were of young infants? What you should be doing, if you assign a birth date at all, is recording that birth as about 1750 and looking for corroborating evidence that this was indeed that individual's date if birth. If that evidence is not forthcoming then the about remains.
There is also the question of how much proof do you require? How much evidence do you seek before adding an individual to your family tree? One piece of evidence? Two? Three? Clearly what is key here is the quality and likely reliability of that evidence. One person has recorded this on their online family tree, to my mind is next to worthless as evidence. Ah, you may say but five people have the same line on their online family tree. How do you know that researchers (and I use the term loosely) two to five have not just lifted researcher one's information and grafted it on to their tree?
Forget online trees for a moment. What about 'granny says…….'. This maybe ok, how is granny's memory? Do great auntie and great uncle agree with her? Are there any official documents, birth certificates, newspaper reports, census returns, to back this up? The further back our family trees extend the harder it becomes to find one piece of reliable evidence, let alone anything that might be termed corroboration. This is the point at which you should stop scrambling backwards, pause until new evidence is unearthed and enjoy finding out more about the individuals that you already have whilst you wait.
The size of the population in the area and era that you are researching and the name of the individual may also effect how much evidence you feel you need before deciding that you have linked two records correctly. I am searching for a John Smith (yes really) in London in the late 1700s. If I find a baptism of a John Smith in London in 1799, even if the John Smith is in the parish where 'my' John Smith married do I make that connection? – probably not. Even if I have 'my' John Smith's place and approximate date of birth from the 1851 census do I? If the place is a highly populated London parish maybe still no. If I know 'my' John Smith's father's name (from his marriage certificate for example) and that agrees (especially if it is a more unusual christian name) then maybe I am getting somewhere. On the other hand, if I have a Crispin Pepperell in a small rural Devon parish (and I do) then I may be quicker to assume I have the correct person.
I appreciate that many people live thousands of miles from the focus of their research but this is not a reason to accept second hand 'evidence'. As far as I am concerned an original source, or a digital image of that source is evidence, an index or transcription is not. Agreed, transcriptions and indexes are brilliant finding aids and providing they are done well, can lead us to original sources but they are not evidence in themselves. Ironically, it seems that the easier it becomes to access original records at a distance, the less people are seeking them out and the more content they are to rely on indirect data or non-evidence. I accept that there are many rigorous and diligent researchers out there but increasingly I see family trees where the compiler appears to require no evidence at all. There are a number of books and articles about genealogical proof available, it is worth taking time out from genealogical research to look at some of these.[1]
If people get fun out of building the biggest family tree in the world by melding their data with that of others without checking it, without researching it, without even thinking about it, who am I to spoil their fun? Just don't kid yourselves that this is family history or even genealogy. This is mere pedigree hunting and the pedigree you have snared is highly likely to be inaccurate or not your own. As Anthony Camp, former Director of the Society of Genealogists, once said, 'With poor knowledge of the sources and little care, the person who comes out of the shadows may just be a skeleton or more often a botched up monster of a Frankenstein, two people rolled into one, or one cut down the middle and married off to someone he probably never knew in real life'.
