(Howard Roark), Patricia Neal (Dominique
Francon), Raymond Massey (Gail Wynand) y Kent
Smith (Peter Keating).

| GARLAND ROARK: FICTIONEER, TEXAN |
 |
"The palm will grow, the coral will
spread..."
Discover the books of an unsung American
writer: Garland Roark (1904-1985).
His specialty: nautical adventure fiction.
His once best-known work: "Wake of the Red
Witch" (1946).
His pseudonym: George Garland (used for his
Western fiction).
Preferred sea story settings: the South
Pacific, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico.
Preferred saddle story setting: the Mogollon
Mountains in southeastern New Mexico.
Where he's from: a native Texan, he was
formerly a longtime resident of Nacogdoches,
Texas.
Consider reading Garland Roark if:
1) you like potent adventure stories
literately told. Roark plots with strength
and symphonic grace. Roark's creative mind
works like a prism: inspiration hits and then
refracts onto the page, in writing, the
boldest spectral colors of action, suspense,
drama, and romance. His books' chapters
aren't conventional "page-turners"; they are
more like tidal curtains rising and falling:
scene after scene comes and goes with a
flourish. Roark's action writing slaps the
page like whale flukes on water. For nature,
Roark rotates a descriptive kaleidoscope
until the pattern of words is poetically
proper and then applies it. His
characterizations of people are sharp
scimitar slices of sensitive insight.
Generally speaking, Roark has a "painter's
eye" for substance and style—his
brushstrokes as wide as necessary to
communicate story essentials, as fine as
desirable to convey depth and nuance.
2) you like well-defined heroes and heroines.
Roark is a literary Vulcan. Creatively heated
and hammered, his leading male characters
partake invariably of one form of metal:
forged steel. If you equate masculinity with
strength, mastery, independence, self-esteem,
purpose, drive/ambition, self-possession,
resourcefulness, and a passion for women in
thought and deed, you will like a Roark hero.
Creatively smelted and poured with care into
winning and shapely molds, his leading female
characters partake invariably of one precious
metal: gold. (When they're not multi-faceted
diamonds, that is.) If you equate femininity
with: beauty, grace, sensuality, self-esteem,
shrewd appraisal of men, spirited behavior,
healthy doses of vanity, resilience, and
hero-worship in the form of surrender and
loyalty to admired/admirable men, then you
will like a Roark heroine.
3) you like story settings of ships, seas,
and islands. Roark knows ships. Roark knows
seamen. You can lay to that. Roark writes
with convincing directness of "faraway"
people and places. He virtuosically slings
the reader's senses from civilized
familiarities into the heightened realities
of primitive, forbidding, exotic and erotic
earthly contexts. The ensuing value conflicts
he dramatizes are fascinating.
4) you find sea stories by Frederick Marryat
and C.S. Forester too "British"; Herman
Melville too ponderous; Rafael Sabatini too
picaresque, Patrick O'Brian a tedious bore.
Garland Roark trumps them all.
In 1949, Republic Pictures released the movie
version of "Wake of the Red Witch" starring
John Wayne, Gail Russell, as well as Gig
Young and Adele Mara. Dramatically, the film
is mere musket fire when compared with the
cannon-blast quality of the book. Ditto for
Republic's subsequent adaptation of Roark's
second novel "Fair Wind to Java" (1953)
starring Fred MacMurrary and Vera Ralston.
In the early 1950s, actor John Wayne founded
Batjac Productions, an independent
film-production company he kept busy during
the last 20+ years of his career. (The
company is still run by Wayne's family.) The
name Batjac was taken from the name of a
Dutch trading firm—spelled "Batjak"—in
Roark's "Red Witch" novel. Note Batjac's
coincidental syllabic similarity to another
film-related company's name, equally famous:
DANJAQ. Founded by Albert R. Broccoli and
Harry Saltzman in 1962, Danjac is still the
holding company associated with the cinematic
career of Ian Fleming's James Bond.
I cannot recommend "George Garland's" Western
fiction as passionately as his nautical
fiction. Although competent and bearing the
stylistic touches so much more evident in his
sea stories, none of his works in the Western
genre are remarkable—in spite of a Western
Writers of America Spur Award in 1967 for
Best Novel for "Hellfire Jackson," co-written
with Charles Thomas.

| Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - Gym Leader Roark of Oreburgh |
 |
Marriland plays through the American version
of Pokemon Diamond. This is the first in the
Gym Leader and Important Battles series, and
it shows my fight against Roark, the Gym
Leader of Oreburgh Gym.
This video is completely narrated,
unscripted, and full of battling. I haven't
done a real narrated video in a while, heh.
Hopefully this'll give you a chuckle, and
give you some great advice for fighting
against Roark!
I'll be recording more, don't worry! If you
have any questions about the game, please
feel free to ask, and I will be able to
answer.
You can also find an overwhelming amount of
information on Pokemon Diamond and Pearl at
my website:
- http://pokemon.marriland.com
It has a full Pokedex and complete
Walkthrough so you'll know everything there
is to know!
Enjoy!

| Fountainhead Roark/Dominique- She's So High |
 |
"It was an act that could be performed in
tenderness, as a seal of love, or in
contempt, as a symbol of humiliation and
conquest. It could be the act of a lover or
the act of a soldier violating an enemy
woman.
He did it as an act of scorn. Not as love,
but as defilement. And this made her lie
still and submit. One gesture of tenderness
from him--and she would have remained cold,
untouched..."
Howard Roark and Dominique Francon...what
more do I really have to say? There are very
few books that I can claim meant something in
my life. In fact, there were only two,
including this one. Ayn Rand, I would like to
say you are sacred, but it might mean more if
I just say...you're an incredibly selfish
woman. ;P
I don't own the book Fountainhead and I don't
own the movie adapted from it. I don't own
the song. I simply own the selfish ability
that enabled me to make this video. ;P

| Pokemon Pearl Gym Battle 1 - Emil vs. Roark |
 |
Hi there, Pokemaster Emil here. This is my
first gym battle in Pokemon Pearl.
Roark is a a rock type trainer with the
following team:
Geodude Lv. 12
Onix Lv. 12
Cranidos Lv. 14
Will I be able to defeat Roark "the rock?"
Feel free to comment just don't be too mean.
P.S. The reason why my pokemon won't listen
to me is because I am not its original
trainer. My friends and I traded starters
with each other to have a bigger variety in
the beginning of the game and so make
eventual pokedex completion easier.
