Since forever. And this applies to everyone: children, adults, even pets. Presently, we flounder in the wake of a new trend where the gastrointestinal tract has been disturbed by drugs of commerce to a steroidal level. I call it the post-modern medicine syndrome: we are in a post-antibiotic, post-birth control pill, post-steroid, post-health phase of human health. Two generations have now suffered in this climate of drug-induced illness, which we call iatrogenic disease. We have traded our short-term acute ills, such as ear infections, sore throats, fevers, and zits for chronic illnesses: disorders such as ADHD, autism, Alzheimer’s, learning disabilities, and of course, food intolerances and allergies. </div> The list goes on. How did it happen? It’s a much simpler matter than it appears on the surface. One of the quickest ways to flip the switch from normal behavior and acceptable health to awful behavior and chronic illness is to employ one or all of these drugs and viola! A healthy GI tract to a disturbed GI tract.'   Read <a href="http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/the-gut-has-a-mind-of-its-own-a-homeopathic-strategy-to-uproot-gi-related-ills/">more... </a>

It is a living food. It is impossible to eat a raw seed and not derive nutrition. Many seeds are edible and the majority of human calories come from seeds, especially from legumes and nuts. Seeds also provide most cooking oils, many beverages and spices and some important food additives. In different seeds the seed embryo or the endosperm dominates and provides most of the nutrients. The storage proteins of the embryo and endosperm differ in their amino acid content and physical properties. How to Eat Seeds There is only one way to derive nutrition from seeds and that is to eat them raw. Once they are exposed to heat, they produce toxic substances and the vitamin, mineral and essential oil profiles are denatured. By roasting a seed, its classification moves from a living food to a dead food. There is no seed on earth that can withstand roasting or heating without breaking down its nutritional components. Always remember, eat seeds naturally…eat them raw. This also means they can be soaked, ground or mashed (i.e. tahini), especially if a seed’s shell or coat is too difficult to pierce with the teeth. - Choose raw and unsalted seeds - Avoid coated or roasted seeds - Avoid sugar coated seeds' Read <a href="http://myscienceacademy.org/2013/02/19/the-top-10-healthiest-seeds-on-earth/">more... </a>

Novartis sells blood transfusion test unit to Grifols for $1.7 billion [ BeritaTerkini ]

1:57 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div id="yom-ad-LREC" class="yom-ad yom-ad-LREC"> <center> <div id="yom-ad-LREC-iframe" class="yom-ad"></div> </center> </div> By Silke Koltrowitz and Sarah White <div class="body-slot-mod"> <div class="yom-remote"> <div class="yom-loading" id="mediacontentrelatedstory_container"></div> </div> </div> ZURICH/MADRID (Reuters) – Switzerland’s Novartis has agreed to sell its blood transfusion testing unit to Spain’s Grifols for $ 1.68 billion, in an increasingly buoyant market for healthcare deals. The sale comes as Novartis carries out a wider review of operations under new chairman Joerg Reinhardt, who has defended the firm’s diversified nature but stressed he would only hang on to businesses that are among world leaders. Novartis Chief Executive Joe Jimenez said on Monday he had started the strategic review of Novartis’s businesses – including the blood unit which carries out tests to ensure blood transfusions do not contain infections – in the spring and the matter had gone to the board over the summer. He said other potential sell-offs were possible as Novartis examines whether three sub-scale businesses – vaccines and diagnostics, over-the-counter (OTC) products and animal health – have a long-term future in the group. “We need to have global scale in these businesses and right now we’re in that process of gaining scale or considering other options for these businesses,” he said in an interview. Asked whether Novartis might sell the animal health and OTC businesses, he said: “I wouldn’t want to speculate on the outcome. Our objective is to determine what it would take to gain global scale. If that is not possible, (selling) would be a potential outcome. Novartis has three core businesses where it is either market leader or number two in various segments – pharmaceuticals, eyecare and generic medicines. Investors are hoping the company will give more detail on how it plans to allocate capital between its different businesses at an investor day on November 22. Global drugmakers have stepped up the pace of restructuring amid investor demands for management to return more capital to shareholders and unlock value trapped inside large firms. THREE TIMES SALES MULTIPLE The deal with Grifols gives Novartis a good price for the blood transfusion diagnostics unit, which was acquired in 2006 as part of Chiron and which had net sales in 2012 of around $ 565 million. Novartis is keeping other diagnostics that are closely linked to its pharmaceuticals pipeline. Vontobel analyst Andrew Weiss said the transfusion diagnostics business was one with no synergies to the remainder of the Novartis group and the price of three times sales seemed “fair” and in line with valuations in the sector. For Grifols, the world’s third-largest blood products maker, the acquisition means diagnostics will now make up 20 percent of its revenue, up from 4 percent now, and that annual turnover in the business will grow to around $ 1 billion. “The acquisition of Novartis’ diagnostic business is a step further into our vision to become a world leader also in the diagnostics field. To achieve this we knew we needed a significant presence in United States,” said Victor Grifols, chairman of the Spanish company. Grifols shares rose 2.3 percent by 0835 GMT while Novartis added 0.5 percent as the European healthcare sector rose 0.4 percent. Pharmaceutical deals have been among the brightest spots in a small merger and acquisition revival in recent months, with Amgen’s $ 10.4 billion purchase of Onyx Pharmaceuticals in the United States among bigger transactions. Also on Monday, London-listed Shire said it had agreed to buy ViroPharma for about $ 4.2 billion to create a leading force in treatments for rare diseases. Grifols said it would finance its purchase with a $ 1.5 billion loan, pushing up its debt to 3.2 times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), according to a spokeswoman for the company. The adjusted debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.6 times at the end of September. The transaction requires regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2014, the companies said.

Anti Gun Mommies Get "Ambushed" At Their Meeting

1:30 AM Tukiyooo 0

Four ladies who are members of MDA (Mom's Demand Action) went to a restaurant in Texas to hold a meeting and were caught flat footed by forty gun enthusiasts who showed up to protest <a href="http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/11/10/2921121/dallas-gun-advocates-protest-restaurant-gun-control-advocates/">and sat in the parking lot for two hours with their guns</a>, waiting for them to come out. <blockquote>On Saturday, nearly 40 armed men, women, and children waited outside a Dallas, Texas area restaurant to protest a membership meeting for the state chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a gun safety advocacy group formed in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. According to a spokeswoman for Moms Demand Action (MDA), the moms were inside the Blue Mesa Grill when members of Open Carry Texas (OCT) — an open carry advocacy group — “pull[ed] up in the parking lot and start[ed] getting guns out of their trunks.” The group then waited in the parking lot for the four MDA members to come out. The spokeswoman said that the restaurant manager did not want to call 911, for fear of “inciting a riot” and waited for the gun advocates to leave. The group moved to a nearby Hooters after approximately two hours. MDA later released a statement calling OCT “gun bullies” who “disagree[d] with our goal of changing America’s gun laws and policies to protect our children and families.” The statement added that the members and restaurant customers were “terrified by what appeared to be an armed ambush.” A member of OCT responded by tweeting, “I guess I’m a #gunbullies #Comeandtakeit.”</blockquote> I see the point here but I have to disagree with the tactics. I don't see the need to scare the shit out of a bunch of people who have no dog in the fight and were just trying to have some damn lunch. Freaking them out so bad they wouldn't come out of the place for two hours is even worse. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhEHwBe4Hb4S577DN6GUqvphds1H1c1BfcWHl17hFUkvOXLqYc-wpPmhTnRiOwhiqwGltoU5Ri-FaFMznzBB7l-on5bp-MnT8ZvgvJJJo6sNlVaf5EUnoXjsPsRXXQIMW_Wz3H4VJd20ZR/s1600/open-carry-texas-moms-demand-action-gun-555x403.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhEHwBe4Hb4S577DN6GUqvphds1H1c1BfcWHl17hFUkvOXLqYc-wpPmhTnRiOwhiqwGltoU5Ri-FaFMznzBB7l-on5bp-MnT8ZvgvJJJo6sNlVaf5EUnoXjsPsRXXQIMW_Wz3H4VJd20ZR/s640/open-carry-texas-moms-demand-action-gun-555x403.jpg" /></a></div> Apparently this isn't the first time this has happened either. <blockquote>This is not the first time that gun advocates have rallied at MDA events. In March, a group of armed men crashed a MDA gun-control rally in Indianapolis.</blockquote> Bad form in my book, you are not helping your cause and are instead seriously reinforcing a negative image. That makes all gun enthusiasts look bad and we don't want that. Capiche? This is the kind of shit the media laps up and runs with, it makes their job easy. Wise up people. UPDATE: I had a couple of comments hammering me about the picture above being taken out of context. Here is the graphic I swiped from <a href="http://www.ncgunblog.com/2013/11/10/intimidating/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AnNcGunBlog+%28An+NC+Gun+Blog%29">An NC Gun Blog</a> as pointed out in the comments; <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge-4_hbl7NK5CzKHu_mLL22j8ugY7qfYgWTbVw8ACtEBA_Pfnubc9WpT317Scahge4x7ENJ42V4hpPfdT7U4OXJ1P-m_bf-hLX9JgGsiTlVSWcMKcTEBJ6Nw9XQS6pl08gk81xr5eao4p-/s1600/Intimidating-MDA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge-4_hbl7NK5CzKHu_mLL22j8ugY7qfYgWTbVw8ACtEBA_Pfnubc9WpT317Scahge4x7ENJ42V4hpPfdT7U4OXJ1P-m_bf-hLX9JgGsiTlVSWcMKcTEBJ6Nw9XQS6pl08gk81xr5eao4p-/s640/Intimidating-MDA.jpg" /></a></div>Standing behind the flag does not change my opinion of their tactics. I am very much Pro 2nd Amendment but I still think intimidating a whole restaurant full of people who have no idea what is going on between the two groups is a bad idea. The fact that a different picture is needed to counter the bad PR this caused proves my point. Update #2- 11/12/2013 I'm still in a bit of shock to see this but <a href="http://borepatch.blogspot.com/2013/11/remember-when-you-open-carry-press-is.html">Borepatch has linked to this post</a> and has an opinion.

Herbal Supplements Contain Unlabeled Plants, Fillers – The Weather Channel [ BeritaTerkini ]

11:57 PM Tukiyooo 0

Consumers looking to fight off colds this winter might want to consider something other than herbal supplements. Many people might already be weary of foods mislabeled as all-natural. Now, consumers should also be suspicious of herbal products contaminated or substituted with alternative plant species and fillers not listed on the labels, according to a study from the University of Guelph, Ontario published in the journal BMC Medicine. (ABOVE: Surprising “All-Natural” Foods that Might Be Fakes) A DNA analysis tested the authenticity of 44 herbal products (primarily capsules) from 12 companies. Nearly half of the products were considered authentic — indicating that they contained DNA from a species that matched the main ingredient on the label — but many of those products still contained ingredients not listed on the label. Out of the 44 total products, 30 featured product substitution. Only two out of the 12 companies tested did not feature any substitution, contamination or the inclusion of fillers. Some of these contaminants could even pose serious health risks to consumers. (MORE: There’s HOW Much Sugar in This?) One product labeled as St. John’s wort — a plant believed to alleviate mild depression — actually contained Senna alexandrina, which is a Food and Drug Administration-approved laxative that can cause side effects from prolonged use — such as chronic diarrhea, liver damage and abdominal pain. “Currently there are no standards for authentication of herbal products,” the study authors concluded. “Although there is considerable evidence of the health benefits of herbal medicine, the industry suffers from unethical activities by some of the manufacturers, which includes false advertising, product substitution, contamination and use of fillers.” Researchers hope to build a DNA library that companies can use to guarantee their products are authentic. <hr> //

In 1940, at age 51, she began working as a character actress in Hollywood and would, over the course of the next three decades, earn three Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress.

Cooper's was the small role of a tweedy aristocrat, the sister of Maxim de Winter (Laurence Olivier), who offered warmth and kindness to the beleaguered second Mrs. de Winter (Joan Fontaine). Rebecca, Selznick Pictures' follow up to Gone with the Wind, took the year's Best Picture Oscar and put Cooper (not to mention Hitchcock, Fontaine and Olivier) on the Hollywood map. Her obvious talent and commanding presence brought two less sympathetic roles next: Dennis Morgan's disapproving socialite mother in Kitty Foyle (1940) and the spurned wife of Laurence Olivier in That Hamilton <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTyxnZ215_mm8L7eLYjfHK1ajlzGUiFsj9ZFwLRBamVugdaZBVcsABi7AIsJGMsxXMQG_si4y93L6pu0H1Q59Ak9Dt7nVn-7b98mjxwzio8wyQW16Rm5p5kh9yZpKlqRvyFJmg5pydd7c/s1600/Gladys_Morgan_GDS.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTyxnZ215_mm8L7eLYjfHK1ajlzGUiFsj9ZFwLRBamVugdaZBVcsABi7AIsJGMsxXMQG_si4y93L6pu0H1Q59Ak9Dt7nVn-7b98mjxwzio8wyQW16Rm5p5kh9yZpKlqRvyFJmg5pydd7c/s320/Gladys_Morgan_GDS.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gladys Cooper and Frank Morgan in Green Dolphin Street</td></tr></tbody></table>Woman (1941). Her facility in these roles paved the way for Cooper to be cast as the villain in Now, Voyager. She earned her first Oscar nomination in 1942 for her portrayal of this archetypal <a href="http://www.classicfilmtvcafe.com/2010/01/this-weeks-poll-whos-your-mommie.html">devouring mother</a>. The following year she earned her second nomination as Sister Marie Therese, a severe and punishing nun in The Song of Bernadette (1943). Typecast? Yes and no. Cooper was fortunate (and versatile) enough to be cast in sympathetic roles - in Mr. Lucky (1943), The White Cliffs of Dover (1944), The Valley of Decision (1945), Green Dolphin Street (1947) and other popular films - but she was as often cast as uppercrust autocrats. In 1947, she brought one of her most memorable wealthy dowagers to the screen as Mrs. Hamilton in the holiday fantasy The Bishop's Wife. This time, though, there was a twist; the imperious widow's hardened heart was melted by no less an angel than Cary Grant - giving Cooper the rare chance to render both harsh and tender facets of her character. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFLygBLTIvGFgELzYhligaE67sSh4cfOGtLXV16TCaCw5aEA7i_5lWRpyhaoMAu4hDQLMudxz7gY1HXE-J0lmZKLs-VIG_h_s2miioeyivdknBNcq0LecNNxvmgfIUM46vjPtRHH6rPI/s1600/Bishop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKFLygBLTIvGFgELzYhligaE67sSh4cfOGtLXV16TCaCw5aEA7i_5lWRpyhaoMAu4hDQLMudxz7gY1HXE-J0lmZKLs-VIG_h_s2miioeyivdknBNcq0LecNNxvmgfIUM46vjPtRHH6rPI/s400/Bishop.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gladys Cooper and Cary Grant, The Bishop's Wife</td></tr></tbody></table>The 1950s brought the actress far more work on television that in films, but she would add one more notable ill-tempered and overbearing mother to her gallery of silver screen harridans. Maude Railton-Bell, her role in Delbert Mann's Separate Tables (1958), doesn't command the wealth or position of Mrs. Vale of the "Boston Vales," but she does maintain the same kind of suffocating stranglehold on her dowdy spinster daughter (Deborah Kerr). Gladys Cooper's credits during TV's early, golden days are impressive. She appeared on two legendary drama anthologies, The Alcoa Hour and Playhouse 90; she was featured on both Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour; she guested on The Ann Sothern Show, Naked City, The Outer Limits, Burkes Law, Ben Casey, The Girl From U.N.C.L.E. (!) and was nominated for a <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdM9W5Usi3ZEHfm0dUqUxUwafY1UcYZG1E-OHVwFnf1KG92Ndd7daH_NBQhc_5CmuI9qvDjft2socy9veDpoOjDy8qKEYWCGBEH8M3BT6T4kkniim0mofDX_IzIOstlZawbhTQhHifBcE/s1600/Rogues.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdM9W5Usi3ZEHfm0dUqUxUwafY1UcYZG1E-OHVwFnf1KG92Ndd7daH_NBQhc_5CmuI9qvDjft2socy9veDpoOjDy8qKEYWCGBEH8M3BT6T4kkniim0mofDX_IzIOstlZawbhTQhHifBcE/s320/Rogues.JPG" width="299" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Rogues </td></tr></tbody></table>1964 primetime Emmy for <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057782/">The Rogues</a>, a crime caper series in which she co-starred with Charles Boyer, David Niven, Gig Young and Robert Coote. Most often talked about among her many TV performances, though, are her appearances on the venerable series, The Twilight Zone. Cooper first appeared in a haunting 1962 episode entitled "Nothing in the Dark," in which she portrayed an elderly woman utterly terrified of death (personified by fledgling actor Robert Redford). Her second guest spot came the following year when she played one of several elderly travelers who have booked "Passage on the Lady Anne." Finally, later in 1963, came "Night Call," directed by Jacques Tourneur, in which she starred solo as an elderly woman who lives alone and begins to receive unnerving, anonymous phone calls. Now in her mid-70s, Gladys Cooper still had a last good film or two ahead of her. She was a member of John Huston's illustrious cast in The List of Adrian Messenger (1963) and earned her third and final Academy Award nomination for her performance as Mrs. Higgins, mother of Henry (<a href="http://eves-reel-life.blogspot.com/2013/08/summer-under-stars-unfaithfully-rex.html">Rex Harrison</a>), in the Oscar-winning musical, My Fair Lady (1964). And that's not all. Before she embarked on her Hollywood career, Cooper had starred on Broadway several times. She returned to the New York stage in her late career and earned Tony nominations in her final two roles. She was nominated for Best Actress in a Play in 1956 for her performance in The Chalk Garden and again in 1962 for her performance in A Passage to India (in a role that would bring an Oscar to Peggy Ashcroft 20+ years later). <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGnBwKCYAxxIDxN7jI9LjjQnCEx-7uGTqDUv1fjUVrozPrl3_pjkk34qWF0pK5G07dbtmgplrFW0yR1pUqLNhV1YTRJ7NKe_Ec5uUQi5Rk4DdzbqOIwD8wiWAOxGvBX8uo7fVzAtucVkI/s1600/chalk_garden_revival.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGnBwKCYAxxIDxN7jI9LjjQnCEx-7uGTqDUv1fjUVrozPrl3_pjkk34qWF0pK5G07dbtmgplrFW0yR1pUqLNhV1YTRJ7NKe_Ec5uUQi5Rk4DdzbqOIwD8wiWAOxGvBX8uo7fVzAtucVkI/s400/chalk_garden_revival.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gladys Cooper (center) in a 1971 revival of The Chalk Garden</td></tr></tbody></table> At last, in 1967, as she approached 80, Gladys Cooper was named a Dame of the British Empire. Her life in the public eye had begun because of the great beauty with which she was naturally endowed; she was long considered the most beautiful woman in England. But Cooper was blessed with more than looks, she had striking talent and presence and profound devotion to her craft. The blush of youthful beauty would, as it always does, fade, but her power as an actress only matured and deepened through the years. Dame Gladys Cooper had been about to embark on a Canadian tour with a revival of The Chalk Garden in 1971 when she was stricken with pneumonia and died. Bette Davis was set to tape a guest appearance on <a href="http://dickcavettshow.com/">The Dick Cavett Show</a> when she learned of Gladys Cooper's death; she shared her thoughts during the interview:   <div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/4wsgpF-InEY" width="420"></iframe></div>

(AP) — More than 90 tons of ready-to-eat salads and sandwiches by a California catering company are being recalled after 26 people in three states were sickened by a bacterial strain of E. coli linked to its products, federal health officials said Sunday. Richmond-based Glass Onion Catering are recalling approximately 181,620 pounds of salads and sandwich wraps containing cooked chicken and ham, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said. The products were produced between Sept. 23 and Nov. 6, and were shipped to distribution centers in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Texas. The Contra Costa Times reports (http://bit.ly/1bqp5Z1) the company supplies food to Trader Joe’s, Super Fresh Goods and Delish. The FSIS said it began monitoring a cluster of illnesses involving E. coli O157:H7 on Oct. 29 and then was notified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that California authorities had reported people sickened from eating pre-packaged salads with grilled chicken. In Washington, three people who were sickened with the bacterium told investigators they ate ready-to-eat salads from Trader Joe’s, said Tim Church, a spokesman with the state’s Department of Health. The FSIS says the bacteria can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps two to eight days after being exposed to it. While most people recover within a week, some develop kidney failure. The Food and Drug Administration has a full list of products being recalled on its website at: www.fda.gov/Food/RecallsOutbreaksEmergencies/Recalls/default.htm <ul id="topics" class="hidden"> <li>Health</li> <li>Food Safety</li> </ul> //

‘Homeland’ Recap: There Is No Dana [ BeritaTerkini ]

9:12 PM Tukiyooo 0

<h2>Playing to its strengths – and avoiding its weaknesses – leads to a rock-solid episode</h2> <div class="body"> If you’re going to be faintly ridiculous, work that faint ridiculousness. That’s the lesson Homeland appears to have learned, and I couldn’t be happier. Well, okay, yeah, I’d be happier if Homeland were the truly great show it once was, or at least promised to be – a sober exploration of War on Terror blowback, rooted in the emotional turmoil of two rival, romantically entwined operatives broken in the blast. But will I settle for a show where the acting director of the Central Intelligence Agency locks his replacement, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, in a conference room, then turns the lights out just to be a dick? Hell yeah. Senator Lockhart may have put it best with his incredulous “What the fuck?” but at last, here’s a what the fuck moment worth cheering for. Throughout “Gerontion,” written by Chip Johannessen and directed (with the increasing visual panache that’s become the show’s hallmark of late) by Carl Franklin, there’s a sense that Homeland‘s using its more outlandish plot points to go somewhere, rather than shoot its way out of a hole it dug itself into. Take Majid Javadi’s brutal murder of his ex-wife and her daughter-in-law last week, the moral and narrative centerpiece of this week’s episode. Yes, it’s an act of straight-up villainy just a few steps shy of tying a damsel in distress to the railroad tracks. But Saul’s interrogation of his former friend reveals that this isn’t a guy who lives for cruelty, but rather a guy who’s discovered that cruelty is the way to make a living.  Seven Ways to Save ‘Homeland’ The world of retaliatory strikes, clandestine assassinations, and political persecutions Javadi inhabits is one he entered out of pragmatism, one where his aptitude for these things made him indispensable, and one where his indispensability gave him the opportunity to secretly enrich himself at the expense of his fundamentalist bosses. In Javadi, we see Saul, if Saul had let his access to the machinery of death shape his personality instead of trying to make it the other way around. More than just fear for his life, Javadi’s panic at being sent back to Iran is terror over becoming just another cog in that machine instead of its operator. Ultimately it’s Saul’s promise to put him back in charge that motivates him to cooperate more even than a desire to keep on breathing. Javadi’s not the only gear who’s not happy to keep on spinning, and honestly, maybe early retirement suits Peter Quinn. How else to explain one of the Agency’s top black operatives getting caught on some suburbanite’s security camera like he was posing for a selfie? Again, having an elite assassin get caught so flat-footed seems at first like an example of Homeland doing goofy-ass shit just to keep the plot wheels spinning, but look where it gets them: a tense exploration of the conflict between intelligence and law enforcement; an opportunity to test the limits of Carrie’s emotional and even physical tolerance for covering up crimes for the greater good; an excuse for Dar Adal to suss out Quinn’s real loyalties with what seemed like legitimately hurt feelings; a way for Quinn to face his guilt while falling on his sword for someone else’s; and a magnificent, exasperated lecture from a frustrated detective in which all of Saul and Carrie and Quinn and Adal’s hard work is referred to, with some justification, as simply “this shit.” “You fuckin’ people,” he continues. “Have you ever done anything but made things worse?” Gooooood question.  The show even demonstrated a willingness to serve up surprises based not on plot twists, but in unexplored character depths. Dar Adal’s betrayal of Saul to curry favor with Senator Lockhart seemed like a done deal, making his betrayal of that betrayal supremely satisfying. Whatever else Adal is, he’s someone who takes the work of the CIA seriously; whatever else Saul is, he’s good at that particular job. Given the choice between political expedience and a high-risk but potentially high-payoff bit of human intelligence, naturally Adal would take the latter. Lockhart’s inability to see that coming would be quite an indictment of his pending leadership, but for the fact that I’m guessing pretty much everyone in the audience failed to see it coming too.  But the episode’s best surprise was what it didn’t do: waste any time at all on the goddamn Brody family. I try not to be too hard on that storyline, but the total lack of regret I felt over its absence has me rethinking that policy. Jettisoning Dana’s pro-forma acts of teenage rebellion and self-assertion, as well as Jessica’s flat exasperation with them, gave the show the time it needed to work with, y’know, the things the show’s actually about. Hell, it even found time for some lovely magic-hour twilight lighting and, amazingly, a happy(ish) ending for everyone involved. Viewers included. Last Week: Great Expectations </div> //
