Behind every good man is a great woman -- or, in Harold Perrineau's case, a great woman and three great girls. The "Lost" star and his wife, Brittany, welcomed their third child, a daughter, on Thursday, March 21, the actor's rep confirmed to Us Weekly.

Perrineau rose to fame playing Augustus Hill on the HBO drama "Oz" and, later, as Michael Dawson on "Lost." More recently, he appeared in the Oscar-nominated film "Zero Dark Thirty" and on season five of the FX series "Sons of Anarchy." His wife is a former model who had a small role as a love interest for Sawyer (Josh Holloway) on "Lost."

Passing reference in 'Argo' rankles New Zealand

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) ? Thirteen minutes into the Oscar-winning movie "Argo," CIA agent Tony Mendez asks supervisor Jack O'Donnell what happened to a group of Americans when the U.S. Embassy was stormed in Tehran.

"The six of them went out a back exit," O'Donnell tells Mendez, played by Ben Affleck. "Brits turned them away. Kiwis turned them away. Canadians took them in."

That's the only mention of New Zealand in "Argo," but it is rankling Kiwis five months after the movie was released in the South Pacific nation. Even Parliament has expressed its dismay, passing a motion stating that Affleck, who also directed the film, "saw fit to mislead the world about what actually happened."

New Zealand joins a list of other countries, including Iran and Canada, that have felt offended by the fictionalized account of how a group of Americans was furtively sheltered and secreted out of Iran during the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

The strong reaction in New Zealand indicates the country remains insecure about its own culture, said Steve Matthewman, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Auckland. People are prone to bouts of unwarranted outrage when somebody from abroad says something bad about the country, he said, and simpering enjoyment when they say something good.

"It's touched a really raw nerve," Matthewman said. "We do seem in New Zealand to be oversensitive to how the rest of the world perceives us."

The movie's New Zealand reference may not be totally fair but has an element of truth.

Some in New Zealand have taken those words ? "Kiwis turned them away" ? as implying the country did nothing to help. Published interviews indicate that diplomats from Britain and New Zealand did help by briefly sheltering the Americans, visiting them and bringing them food, even driving them to the airport when they left.

Yet those interviews also indicate that both countries considered it too risky to shelter the Americans for long. That left the Canadians shouldering the biggest risk by taking them in.

Lawmaker Winston Peters, who brought last week's uncontested motion before Parliament, said New Zealanders are unfairly portrayed as "a bunch of cowards," an impression that would be given to millions who watch the movie.

"It's a diabolical misrepresentation of the acts of courage and bravery, done at significant risk to themselves, by New Zealand diplomats," he said.

Affleck could not be reached for comment this week.

During Oscar media interviews last month, Affleck told reporters: "Let me just start by saying I love New Zealand, and I love New Zealanders." He added that "I think that it's tricky. You walk a fine line. You are doing a historical movie and naturally you have to make some creative choices about how you are going to condense this into a three-act structure."

But Affleck and his screenwriter, Chris Terrio, who won the adapted screenplay Oscar, did catch some flak from critics for taking major liberties, especially a heart-stopping ? but fictional ? airport finale that had gun-wielding Iranian Revolutionary Guards chasing the Swissair plane down the tarmac, with the plane lifting off just in the nick of time. (In reality, the airport exit went smoothly.)

And after the film was made, Affleck took the step of changing the film's postscript, the Toronto Star reported, to more generously credit Canada and its ambassador at the time, Ken Taylor, who protected the Americans at huge personal risk and was uncomfortable with some details in the film.

"Argo" was not the only Oscar-nominated film this year to be criticized for factual issues.

Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" came under fire for its depictions of interrogations. A group of senators charged that the film misled viewers for suggesting that torture provided information that helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden.

Even Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," with its rich attention to historically accurate detail, was criticized for its inaccurate depiction of the Connecticut delegation's vote on the 13th amendment outlawing slavery. The film's Pulitzer-winning screenwriter, Tony Kushner, said he'd changed the details for dramatic effect.

Matthewman, the sociology professor, said the line in Argo may have provoked New Zealanders because the country prides itself on being generous and hospitable. People have a reputation for doing things like picking up hitchhikers and inviting them into their homes for a week, he said.

Small countries like New Zealand that are far from the world's centers of power are often shaped by bigger countries like the U.S. and often look to them for affirmation, Matthewman said. It's interesting to note the different reaction Affleck got in Britain, Matthewman said, which was arguably equally maligned in the movie.

"They give the guy a BAFTA in Britain and bash him in New Zealand," he said, referring to the best director prize Affleck won at the British Academy Film Awards.

Some in Britain, however, have criticized "Argo's" reference to that country, and some in Canada are upset the CIA gets credit at the expense of the Canadians, a claim backed by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter. And Iran is planning to sue Hollywood for the movie's alleged "unrealistic portrayal" of that country, according to Iranian media reports.

Yet while Iran and Canada are central parts of the movie, the New Zealand reference could easily be missed ? at least by outsiders.

Patrick Gower, the political editor for TV3, one of two main television news stations in New Zealand, wrote in a blog that Affleck should apologize after he "deliberately slammed" the country.

"Some people will say I'm being oversensitive here," he wrote. "But in my opinion, what Affleck has done just isn't right."

The controversy was not reflected in box-office receipts. "Argo" has done well in New Zealand, earning just over $1 million. As of this week, the film has earned $92.3 million internationally and $135 million in North America.

National carrier Air New Zealand has even extended an olive branch to Affleck by offering to fly him to the country as its guest. Airline spokeswoman Marie Hosking said this week it has yet to hear back from him.

Prime Minister John Key, meanwhile, has tried to sound a note of reason.

"New Zealand, I think, sees itself as a country that always wants to lend a hand to help people," he told reporters recently. "But in the end, this is Hollywood, and they do make movies. And a bit like when they transfer a book to a movie, often it's a little bit different. So, look, I think we've made our point and we should probably move on."

But the country doesn't seem ready to move on quite yet.

Al-Qaida in Iraq claims wave of attacks

BAGHDAD (AP) ? An al-Qaida-affiliated group in Iraq claimed responsibility on Wednesday for bloody attacks that killed dozens of people across the country a day earlier.

In a statement posted on a militant website, the Islamic State of Iraq said the car bombs and other explosions came to avenge the executions and "massacres" of convicted Sunni inmates held in Iraqi prisons.

Most of the nearly 20 attacks on Tuesday, the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, targeted Shiite areas in Baghdad.

They killed 65 and wounded more than 200, demonstrating in stark terms how dangerously divided Iraq remains more than a year after American troops withdrew.

The al-Qaida statement warned the Shiite-led government to stop executing Sunni prisoners or "expect more bad events ... and seas of blood."

"What has reached you on Tuesday was the first drop of rain, and a first phase ... that will be followed by more revenge," it said.

Also on Wednesday police said a car bomb exploded during rush hour in eastern Baghdad, killing two civilians and wounding four.

A medical official in a nearby hospital confirmed the casualty figures. All spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.

Violence has ebbed sharply since the height of insurgency, but militants are still able to stage high-profile lethal attacks.

Why Present Tense Is Bad

Of course, the answer to such a claim is seldom simple, and the answer to this one is no exception: present tense isn?t bad when it?s used appropriately. Present tense is appropriate for stage direction, blocking scenes and actors; it?s appropriate in screenplays and scripts, informing actors of what they?re expected to do in a given scene; it?s appropriate, of course, in novels and short fiction when it?s used in dialogue (we speak in present tense) and in characters? unspoken thoughts (we think in present tense). But it is absolutely not appropriate in narrative. Whether the narrative is offered in first-person or third-person, limited or omniscient, Past Tense Is the Natural Voice of Narrative. Those are the bare-bones facts of this particular matter. What follows is the rationale.

Okay, as I mentioned in my previous post, a writer friend (Thanks RO?B) asked me to write a post on Why Present Tense Narrative Sucks. He said he agrees with me, but he also wrote, ?[Doing so] might cause some controversy, because ever since The Hunger Games everyone is writing in that tense.?

I responded to my writer friend with what became part of this blog post:

Present-tense narrative is wonderful in screenplays (the director is blocking the actors), but in the screenplay the present-tense narrative never makes it to the audience except as it?s translated into action on the screen. Have you ever thought about that? When the screenwriter writes

John and Ringo stroll across the street, carefully avoiding a large horse apple

he?s speaking directly in the script to the actors who are playing John and Ringo, instructing them on what to do and how to do it. He isn?t talking (or writing) directly to the eventual viewer of the film. In a short story or novel (or perhaps a memoir if it were about my family), that bit of narrative would read

John and Ringo strolled across the street, carefully avoiding a large horse apple.

Present tense does not make the story more intimate or more immediate (whatever that means) as its proponents claim; instead, it pushes the reader away, as if he were sitting in the audience listening to the director whisper stage directions. Here are a couple more short examples:

I move along the sidewalk, watching as the man across the street ducks into a store.

I moved along the sidewalk, watching as the man across the street ducked into a store

Jane crosses the street, approaches the hotdog vendor, and orders a hotdog with everything on it.

Jane crossed the street, approached the hotdog vendor, and ordered a hotdog with everything on it.

Finally, here?s a longer and more detailed example, first in present tense and then in past tense:

As Celeste places two bowls of beans on the small kitchen table and sits down, Lilly sets a basket of cornbread and the marigold butter dish between them and takes her usual place beside her friend. ?We never have beans and cornbread that I don?t think of Elsie,? Celeste says. ?It doesn?t matter which one of us makes it, the cornbread never tastes as good as it did when your grandmother made it, and we watched her a thousand times. What do you think our problem is?? She sits back for a moment, waiting for Lilly to answer her question.

As Celeste placed two bowls of beans on the small kitchen table and sat down, Lilly set a basket of cornbread and the marigold butter dish between them and took her usual place beside her friend. ?We never have beans and cornbread that I don?t think of Elsie,? Celeste said. ?It doesn?t matter which one of us makes it, the cornbread never tastes as good as it did when your grandmother made it, and we watched her a thousand times. What do you think our problem is?? She sat back for a moment, waiting for Lilly to answer her question.

Do you see how the first example forces you to sit back in the audience and watch the scene unfold? If you don?t, read both examples aloud. In the first example, you aren?t a participant. You?re an outsider, an unwelcome witness, listening to the director tell the actors what to do. You don?t even get to actually ?see? the actors do it. This flies directly in the face of ?Show, don?t tell,? yet many writers adhere to it. Why? Because although it?s an almost ancient technique of playwrights, someone somewhere purloined it, applied it to fictional narrative, and labeled it ?cutting edge? and a ?new? technique. Of course, anything that?s labeled ?cutting edge? or ?nouveau? anything immediately becomes all the rage. Proponents make sweeping but vague, hard to define claims, saying present-tense narrative is more ?intimate? and ?immediate.? But ask them to explain what they mean by those terms (I double-dog dare you) and they won?t be able to do it. At best, probably they?ll mutter the same, tired, age-old clich? of those who shouldn?t be allowed to teach anything except how to avoid responsibility: ?Umm, I can?t really explain it, but I know it when I see it.? Those who are almost ready for the political arena will go farther: ?Oh, admittedly it defies description! That?s what?s so intimate and immediate about it. And did I say it?s cutting edge?? But I digress. In the second example, it?s as if you?re standing just outside the kitchen, watching and listening as the two little old ladies go about preparing for a meal. There?s a director (or writer) involved, but do you notice him? No. It?s just you and the characters, all in the scene. They?re setting the table and are about to eat, and you?re a character too: The Eavesdropper. There now, isn?t that better?

If you need more proof that past tense is the natural voice of narrative, consider, when anyone tells anyone else what happened (past tense) to them, they tell it in past tense. I know, I know, sometimes some folks will say something like ?So I walk up to this guy and I say ?Blah blah blah,? and then he says to me ?Blah blah blah blah? and then we go our separate ways.?? Except chances are, they?ll end it with ?and then we went our separate ways? because they always slide back into past tense before it?s all over with, often several times. Why? Because (again) Past Tense Is the Natural Voice of Narrative.

And even if people do occasionally relate what happened to them in present tense, they always set it up in?wait for it?Past Tense. Think back. Has anyone ever rushed into your house and said, ?You?ll never believe what happens to me as I?m on my way to the grocery.? No. They?ll say, ?You?ll never believe what happened to me as I was on my way to the grocery.?

As for RO?B?s other point?that ?ever since The Hunger Games everyone?s been writing? in present tense, all I can say is ?Yawn.? That?s the same absolutely inane excuse I hear all the time. ?Well so and so did it so it must be right.? (See my previous blog post, please.)

Still, I can only offer recommendations. It?s your work. I?m amazed at how many writers ask, ?Why can?t I??? because the bottom line is, You Can and You May. You certainly don?t need my permission. It?s up to you. It?s all a matter of priorities and what you want the reader to notice:

If you want to be certain the reader notices you, the writer, and how cool you are because you wrote without quotation marks around dialogue or without capitalization or? because you wrote in present tense or because you wrote while standing on your head, spitting BBs and juggling three cats and a turtle, by all means, go for it.

I don?t want that for my own writing. I want the reader to enjoy the story, not how I wrote the story. I want her to tell all her friends how wonderful it was to spend some time in the cantina in Agua Rocosa (my fictional village), not get into a discussion with them about why I didn?t use quotation marks around dialogue or why I used strange capitalization or why I wrote in present tense. I want her to read and enjoy without realizing there was a writer behind the scenes at all. I don?t even want the reader to remember my name. But I want her to be so freakin? impressed by the story that she?ll go out of her way to find my name at the front of the book and look up more of my work. And that?s what I want for you as well.

?Til next time, happy writing!

Harvey

Schramm's Mead, New Meadery, Set To Open In Ferndale, Michigan

The Detroit area is developing into a real hotspot for mead, believe it or not. The suburb of Ferndale, which is already home to the B. Nektar Meadery, will soon add a second distillery of the alcoholic drink created by fermenting honey and water.

Schramm's Mead plans to open this May in downtown Ferndale at the site of an old record store on Nine Mile Road, Patch reports.

Ken Schramm, the proprietor of the new meadery, has a wealth of experience crafting the beverage dating back to 1989. Not only has he written a book on the subject, but, working with the Ann Arbor Brewers Guild in 1990, he helped found the nation's only mead-specific competition, the Mazer Cup, according to his website.

"Schramm?s Mead will be a craft meadery, hopefully in the best sense of the term. Our goal is to see how deliciously Schramm?s can make each mead we create," Schramm said in an address to the Ferndale City Council reprinted on his company's Facebook page. "We will use U.S.-made ingredients, and preferably Michigan-made ingredients wherever possible."

The meadery plans to produce a 200-gallon batch each month. Mead will be sold in bottles and by the glass at the meadery's tasting room. Schramm's product line has included raspberry and ginger meads, as well as a capstone variety made from currants, cherries and raspberries, according to the company's website.

Schramms' competitor, the B. Nektar Meadery, opened for business in 2008 and recently added a second production facility in the city.

Ferndale Mayor Dave Coulter told WWJ radio last week that mead is becoming what craft beer was to the nineties. He added that the city had a knack for attracting "interesting, millennial type entrepreneurs that are willing to do something different.?
