Days are spent combing through grisly crime scenes, piecing together fragmented lives, and chasing elusive suspects, all while navigating the emotional weight of victims' grieving families. The job demands an unrelenting attention to detail, long hours, and an ability to see patterns where others see chaos. Yet, amidst the brutality of homicide investigations, gallows humour thrives—a necessary release valve in a world where tragedy is routine. One moment, a detective might be cracking a joke in the squad room, the next, delivering the worst possible news to a mother who will never see her child again. It's a career defined by the pursuit of justice, but also by the quiet, unspoken burden of witnessing the worst in people while trying to hold on to the best in themselves.https://crimetimeinc.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Five women had no idea they were about to form a pornography sorority — a sisterhood that would change their careers, their lives and eventually, the way much of the public viewed people who work in porn. There was the "superstar" turned mom, Jane Hamilton aka Veronica Hart. The Jewish, artsy, exhibitionist, Annie Sprinkle, who claimed to have had sex with more than 3500 men. The former Girl Scout, Candida Royalle, an aspiring actress who was exiled from ballet at age 15 because she was too curvaceous. Veronica Vera, the girl with the strict Catholic upbringing who had a great sexual curiosity. And Gloria Leonard, the "nice Jewish girl" who had been a Wallstreet stockbroker and ended up taking on Larry Flynt and Bob Guccione as the publisher of her own High Society magazine. Join us as we speak to Vera, Jane and Gloria's daughter, Robin, about this "club" and why it was formed as we take a stroll back to 70's porn! Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a very special episode. John Hudson joins me to discuss BOOGIE NIGHTS (1997) but that is only half the fun. We also got the chance to talk to actress Jane Hamilton who appears in the film as a judge. Under her stage name Veronica Hart, Miss Hamilton was a major star of adult movies in the period depicted in BOOGIE NIGHTS and is therefore the perfect person to answer questions about the industry and its onscreen Hollywood portrayal. She has many stories to tell and not just about the pornography business either. We had so much fun talking with her that the conversation went on for nearly an hour and a half with more than a few digressions! Hopefully you'll enjoy her tales as much as we did.   We end the show with some classic adult film recommendations from Mr. Hudson which might send you off to your favorite DVD/Blu-Ray retailer to satisfy your curiosity. If you have any comments or suggestions thebloodypit@gmail.com is the place to write. Or you could join us over on the FaceBook page but keep it clean or the Zuck will get us for sure.

Executive Producer: NJI Holdings Producer: NiEtta Reynolds - @niettareynolds Editor: Kemesha Perkins and Kirhstyn Lien Video Shooter/Editor: Dr. James Johnson @tailoredpenguin According to texastribune.org People of color made up 95% of Texas' population growth, and the Hispanic and white populations are nearly equal in size. But white voters will have disproportionate control of elections under the state's new political maps. Building better communities can sometimes be a challenging task. You have to implement health care rules and regulations that benefit us all and cultivate relationships that can get the job done. It starts with neighborhood involvement and business outreach. Each one of us has a prominent place in our neighborhoods. So let's start today and make some changes. Today's guest today is Jane Hope Hamilton, a candidate in the May 24th runoff primary for the Democratic nomination to succeed Eddie Bernice Johnson as Representative to the US Congress from Texas' 30th Congressional District. Jane Hamilton's resumé shows deep connections to Democratic politics in the state of Texas: she has served in key staff and advisory positions for Texas House Representative Helen Giddings, for US Congressman Representative Martin Frost, and as Campaign Manager for Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. She served as both Campaign Manager and as Chief of Staff for US Congressman Marc Veasey from Texas' 33rd District. As if that isn't enough, Jane somehow found time to serve on the Boards of numerous civic and educational organizations, including Angie's List, the Dallas County Election Advisory Council, and the Texas Justice & Education Fund. Jane is the Founder and current President of the Barbara Jordan Leadership Institute, an organization I especially want to ask about during the next hour. “With more than two decades of experience in public policy, electoral politics, and community organizing, Jane Hamilton's entire career centers around Progressive Activism for the benefit of underserved communities. She has been encouraged to run for Texas' 30th Congressional Seat by a stellar cast of business, religious, and civic leaders as well as by key elected officials.

This week Emma brings us the story of Sheila Anderson, a 27-year-old sex worker from Edinburgh who died from injuries sustained in a brutal vehicular attack in April 1983.We hear how a distrust of Police by the city's sex workers made it difficult to gather evidence, and would eventually lead to the Police making significant changes to their treatment and Policing of sex work and sex workers.Emma also tells us of the appeals made for further information years after the murder took place, and the hope that justice may be done one day due to the major advances in DNA technology.Case research by Emma TaylorProduced by Emma Taylor & Joannagh ShanksEditing by Shaun O'NeillMusic by Tribe of NoiseSources of research:https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/scotlands-unsolved-murders-sex-worker-22222138https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburghs-brutal-unsolved-murder-remembering-18458452https://www.truecrimelibrary.com/crimearticle/sheila-anderson/https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/scottish-news/1857230/unsolved-scotland-sheila-anderson-murder-edinburgh/https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/whats-on/things-to-do/former-top-cop-reveals-secrets-policing-edinburghs-violent-and-burgeoning-sex-trade-1381894https://www.heraldscotland.com/default_content/12462843.police-involved-unsolved-murder-case-quizzed/https://www.heraldscotland.com/default_content/12463322.police-fresh-1983-edinburgh-prostitute-murder-plea/https://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2009/02/26/cops-in-tv-appeal-for-1983-murder-671/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7915135.stmhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7911041.stmhttps://deadlinescotland.wordpress.com/tag/sheila-anderson/https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Hunt+for+brute+after+car+crash+mutilation+of+hooker+Sheila%3B+UNSOLVED%3A...-a0172078678HIV, drugs and the sex trade in Edinburgh, Jane Hamilton for Daily Record 20/06/20Violence and Sex Work in Britain - Hilary Kinnellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp6Z03EMv4w - Crimewatch special around 36 minute mark

Richard learned to garden from his father, who was classically trained at Kew. By the time he was seventeen, Richard had followed in his father's footsteps and worked at Kew - starting with herbaceous perennials before moving into tropicals. Enthusiastic and driven, Richard became the curator of the Cambridge University Botanic Garden when he was 30. During his four decades in the position, Richard transformed and elevated the garden by expanding and diversifying the garden's collections through swaps and hybridizing. In 1904, Irwin published his masterpiece The Book of the Iris - a book dedicated to the culture and identification of irises. The iris is the birth flower for the month of February and the state flower of Tennessee. The iris has been a symbol of royalty and power, and the “Fleur de Lis” represents the iris. And here's a heads up to gardeners: if you're growing them without success, remember that Irises need full sun to bloom their best, and if they don't get enough sun, they won't bloom. The Iris fragrance is found in the roots, and it is used for perfume. Historically, Iris root extract has been applied to the face to remove freckles.   June 1, 1837 On this day, the American writer and gardener Edith Wharton had a heart attack while staying at the country estate of her friend and co-author of The Decoration of Houses, the architect Ogden Codman. This event was the first of three heart attacks for Edith. She died on August 11th of that year and was buried at Versailles. Edith wrote many popular admonitions. My favorite is this one. She wrote, “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”  She also wrote: “Beware of monotony; it's the mother of all the deadly sins.”  And she also wrote: “If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we could have a pretty good time.”  Edith's childhood in Europe afforded her a chance to see the great gardens of Italy and France. As an adult, she became a fan of the famous garden designer Gertrude Jekyll. In 1904, in a departure from her standard storytelling, Edith published a major gardening book, Italian Villas and Their Gardens, with pictures by Maxfield Parrish. Edith thought gardens should be a series of outdoor rooms, and she wrote, “…In the blending of different elements, the subtle transition from the fixed and formal lines of art to the shifting and irregular lines of nature, and lastly, in the essential convenience and livableness of the garden, lies the fundamental secret of the old garden-magic…” Recognizing the grandness of Italian Villa's, Edith wrote, "The Italian garden does not exist for its flowers; its flowers exist for it."  Edith had her own wonderful estate for a period of time. It was called the Mount. It was built in 1920, and Edith used it as her summer country estate. Tucked in Lennox, Massachusetts, the Mount. Edith was built on a high ledge and from the terrace. Edith could look down over her property and see her flower gardens, which she herself designed. There's a large French flower garden, a sunken Italian or Walled Garden, a Lime Walk with 48 Linden trees, and grass steps. During her time at The Mount, Edith wrote The House of Mirth. In the story, Edith wrote about having fresh flowers, and Her character, which is about to face financial ruin, says to her mother, “I really think,... we might afford a few fresh flowers for luncheon. Just some jonquils or lilies-of-the-valley----" In terms of her talent, Edith felt she was much better in the garden than she was as a writer. Speaking of garden design, Edith's niece was the garden designer Beatrix Jones Farrand. Edith once wrote a friend,   “I'm a better Landscape gardener than a novelist, and this place (The Mount), every line of which is my own work, far surpasses The House of Mirth.” Sadly, Edith's time at The Mount was short-lived as her marriage ended nine years later, and she was forced to sell the place. In her story called The Line of Least Resistance, Edith wrote from the perspective of a husband who had financed elaborate gardens: “The lawn looked as expensive as a velvet carpet woven in one piece; the flower borders contained only exotics… A marble nymph smiled at him from the terrace, but he knew how much nymphs cost and was not sure that they were worth the price. Beyond the shrubberies, he caught a glimpse of domed glass.  His greenhouses were the finest in Newport, but since he neither ate fruit nor wore orchids, they yielded, at best, an indirect satisfaction.” In 1920, toward the end of her career, Edith wrote her Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece: The Age of Innocence - becoming the first female to win the award in her category. In 1993, Edith's book was the basis for the movie with the same title, The Age of Innocence, featuring a young Michelle Pfeiffer and Daniel Day-Lewis. In the book, Edith described a neglected garden, “The patch of lawn before it had relapsed into a hayfield; but to the left an overgrown box-garden full of dahlias and rusty rose-bushes encircled a ghostly summer-house of trellis-work that had once been white, surmounted by a wooden Cupid who had lost his bow and arrow but continued to take ineffectual aim.” In terms of her personal preferences, Edith loved reliable bloomers like lilies, hydrangeas, delphinium, cleome, and dahlias. Regarding peonies, she once described them as having “jolly round-faced' blooms.   Unearthed Words The last rain had come at the beginning of April, and now, at the first of June, all but the hardiest mosquitoes had left their papery skins in the grass. It was already seven o'clock in the morning, long past time to close windows and doors, trap what was left of the night air slightly cooler only by virtue of the dark. The dust on the gravel had just enough energy to drift a short distance and then collapse on the flower beds. The sun had a white cast, as if shade and shadow, any flicker of nuance, had been burned out by its own fierce center. There would be no late afternoon gold, no pale early morning yellow, no flaming orange at sunset. If the plants had vocal cords, they would sing their holy dirges like slaves. ― Jane Hamilton, American novelist, the author of The Book of Ruth, and winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award for first fiction, A Map of the World(a New York Times Notable Book of the Year in 1999)   Grow That Garden Library Practical Houseplant Book by Zia Allaway and Fran Bailey This book came out in 2018, and the subtitle is Choose Well, Display Creatively, Nurture & Maintain, 175 Plant Profiles.

Her friends called her Col. Colleen was exceptionally bright. Born and raised in Australia, she worked at Yale as a neurophysiologist for $10,000 a year. During her spare time, she wrote her first breakthrough novel, Tim - a story about a middle-aged widow who has a relationship with her young, handsome, and developmentally disabled gardener. Tim became a movie starring Mel Gibson. But it was her next novel that would end up changing Colleen's life: The Thornbirds - the Australian love story between a Catholic priest and a young woman named Meggie Cleary. In The Thornbirds, Colleen wrote, “There's a story... a legend, about a bird that sings just once in its life. From the moment it leaves its nest, it searches for a thorn tree... and never rests until it's found one. And then it sings... more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. And singing, it impales itself on the longest, sharpest thorn. But, as it dies, it rises above its own agony, to outsing the lark and the nightingale. The thorn bird pays its life for just one song, but the whole world stills to listen, and God in his heaven smiles.” The Thorn Birds sold 30 million copies, became a blockbusting TV miniseries, and allowed Colleen the chance to follow her heart and desire for privacy. By 1979, Colleen moved to a ten-hectare property on Norfolk Island - a small island outpost of Australia between New Zealand and New Caledonia - and a place that she would call home for the rest of her life. A daughter of Australia, Colleen's home country, loved her back and declared her a national treasure in 1997. Colleen died in 2015, but today her garden and home, complete with a fern room, is now open for tours. The gardener and garden broadcast personality, Graham Ross, wrote about meeting Colleen and shared his comments on Facebook, “When we first met Colleen McCullough in her garden, ‘Out Yenna' (‘Out Yonder in Norf'k) on Norfolk Island a decade or more ago, it was like meeting an old friend. It's a long drive through the Kentia palm plantation... to find the beautiful two-story weatherboard home. There was no greeting party of minders, no official anything, just a hearty “G'day,” then “would you like a cup of tea”' followed by “let's look at the garden such as it is”... The garden was entirely the domain and responsibility of her Persian cat, Shady, who would roll in Sweet Alice (Alyssum), gather seeds in her long fur, and then roll around elsewhere in the dirt distributing the seeds. It was the largest planting of Sweet Alice we'd ever seen. In the center of the garden was a magnificent glass screen by a woman artist... who also had a copy of the work, according to Colleen, “hanging in Canberra's Parliament House.”  But it was her finale, her coup de grace, that remains with us after the long chat and yarning. We had recently published our first major text, “Our World of Gardening,” with Simon and Schuster and took a copy for her as a sign of appreciation for her time. What happened next remains with us as the true essence of Colleen McCullough. She was enormously grateful for our book. At first, we thought ‘overly so' but left the room after telling us of her gratitude. Ten minutes later, she returned with a copy of every book she'd ever written from ‘Tim' to the ‘Roman Series.' She then proceeded to autograph and included a personal message of every publication. It was a hugely generous gesture and followed with the amazing statement, “You are the first authors to ever offer me a copy of their book.” A few photographs for the record were taken, and strong handshake and we left with over a dozen books under our arms and a fond memory that remains fresh today.”   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Travel is supposed to be so broadening, in the words of Sinclair Lewis. But anyone embarking on a Thanksgiving-motivated journey knows that travel can be aggravating, maddening, and bewildering too. In an essay first audio-published in The Drum in July 2013, Jane Hamilton recounts a trip with her husband when the combined forces of the TSA and a Ziploc bag threatened to undo them.

When a chauvinist pig (Scott Baker) gets shot for harassing women, he's reincarnated as a woman (Jane Hamilton) in order to learn a lesson about life.

When a chauvinist pig (Scott Baker) gets shot for harassing women, he's reincarnated as a woman (Jane Hamilton) in order to learn a lesson about life. Chuck Vincent's Cleo/Leo is a terrific look at gender relations and institutional sexism.

Her husband's placement of a Ziploc bag at a TSA screening station becomes a watershed moment for Jane Hamilton as she contemplates the intricacies and interdependencies of marriage. "Finding Forgiveness in a Ziploc" takes us through fury to empathy, examining the ways in which imagination can lead to understanding.
