Girls on Film: How 'Bridesmaids' Became Judd Apatow's Most Successful Film to Date
As you read this, something pretty phenomenal is happening. Bridesmaids is surpassing the likes of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Superbad and the ever-popular Knocked Up to become the highest grossing film of Judd Apatow's career. After last weekend, the film had earned a theatrical gross of $148 million, less than $200 thousand shy of Talladega and $700 thousand shy of Knocked Up. Since the film made over $5 million last weekend, and hasn't even hit all of its international markets yet, all of the world's movie theatres would have to explode to keep Bridesmaids from dethroning Knocked Up this week.
And that's only the first part of the news. As The Hollywood Reporter shares, projections expect the blockbuster comedy to kick out Sex and the City and become the top R-rated (domestic) female comedy of all time. Carrie and her plagued marriage to Mr. Big hit theaters back in 2008 and grossed $153 million, which Bridesmaids is expected to pass over the weekend. And the film is doing so not with an established property and fandom, but with excellent word of mouth.
The boys' club of blockbuster comedy is now facing the hard truth that success isn't the result of gender supremacy.
Over the last seven years, Judd Apatow has become the undeniable king of comedy. He wet his TV feet producing Anchorman, and then crafted modern comedy in his own image, fueling the rise of the off-beat male hero as soon as Steve Carell's cherubically virgin smile graced posters everywhere in 2005. Having net $150 million in his first big-screen comedy, Apatow became the "It" man. A year later, he made even more money producing Talladega Nights, and a year after that he earned even more with his personal look at pregnancy with Knocked Up. Though subsequent films like Superbad and Step Brothers attempted to de-throne the Katherine Heigl/Seth Rogen coupling, no Apatow film even reached $125 million again until his next femme-centric feature, Bridesmaids.
It may not be the brainchild of Apatow's – it was written by star Kristen Wiig and co-scribe Annie Mumolo, and was directed by oft television helmer Paul Feig – but the comedy fits comfortably in the Apatow oeuvre. Reality is mixed with the ridiculous as a down-on-their-luck lead navigates the pesky world of interpersonal communications and everyday life. They tackle it all with humor and the help of a network of highly dynamic friends.
But instead of a stoner slacker, shockingly old virgin, or infantile grown men, Wiig grabs the lead. It's the Saturday Night Live comedienne's moment to shine. Though her television work milks her fearless drive and willingness to be grotesque, a wave of supporting, scene-stealing film work revealed that her talents stretched well beyond quirky girls with doll hands who like to sing. It was quite clear that she wouldn't be one of the female SNL alums who struggle to find feature film footing.
As Annie, Wiig mixes the best of all worlds. In one moment, she can be truly ridiculous and perfectly slapstick. In the next, she can reveal real heart and humanity. Wiig rules during agonizingly long moments of discomfort; where films like Meet the Parents milk unease through over-the-top actions, she finds the desperate humanity that makes her drawn-out moments seem plausible. She can have a romantic or catty fight just as easily as she can interact with her friends or lay down sarcastic one-liners.
But it's not some perfectly presented, stereotype-free comedy, and that's part of the magic. As some detractors note, this is a movie about marriage, with the woman wearing pink and occasionally having cat fights. The lead character is a woman who found a career baking; it's romance, marriage, and kitchens – the usual, ever-prevalent '50s shtick. It's not the paragon of perfect, stereotype-free characterizations and it's not meant to be.
Bridesmaids is the bridge to future femme comedy. It's the film that shows its predecessors what they were missing – the sugar to make modern medicine go down. It takes the tropes we recognize and filters them in ways that begin to reflect real life rather than just perpetuating unrecognizable women. It opens the door to funny so that future films can go nuts and push beyond the stereotypes.
Yes, Annie bakes, but just as much as Wiig's lead finds strength in the kitchen, it's not on any man's terms. In fact, when Officer Rhodes (sweetly) tries to help her get back to baking, she rejects it and him. The women are bridesmaids and are excited for their friend, but they all express it in different ways that not only reflect their interests, but what is happening in their lives – fight clubs, strippers, vacation escape. They're women who interact with each other, and pass the Bechdel Rule brilliantly.
Perhaps the most discussed aspect of the film is the gross-out humor of the dress shopping scene, one that might seem out of place in a film rife with heart, but one that is essential to this turning of the page. As the women get food poisoning while trying on dresses, they're not only revealing their ability to partake in gross gags like their male counterparts and blurring the lines between so-called "men's" and "women's" comedy – they're also re-coding the female experience. That one scene wipes away the notion of the perfect woman who doesn't smell, sweat, or defecate, adding a real human element to the flashy-female Hollywood experience and doing precisely what comedy is meant to – taking its subjects and putting them through unexpected and jolting conditions. It's the cinematic response to Christopher Hitchens' appalling Vanity Fair article a few years ago, where he stated: "Whereas women, bless their tender hearts, would prefer that life be fair, and even sweet, rather than the sordid mess it actually is. Jokes about calamitous visits to the doctor or the shrink or the bathroom, or the venting of sexual frustration on furry domestic animals, are a male province."
Bridesmaids' power lies in its ability to break through the ridiculous, but unfortunately prevalent, opinion. It takes everything – the absurdity, the stereotypes, the romance, the recognizable tropes – and reframes them in a way that shows modern comedy what it's missing. It wipes away notions that women have to act one way and men another. It challenges the poorly plotted Hollywood characters whose actions are based on antiquated expectations rather than that character's life path. (Annie does date the ever-jerk Ted, but not because women are weak and easily manipulated by men, but because Annie is in headspace where she <falsely> feels weak.) It bridges the gap not only between yesterday's comedy and the possibility of the future, but also rampant opinions of the male and female experience.
It shows the potential in female characterizations and comediennes. One of Judd Apatow's biggest strengths is how his films launch funny actors into comedic stardom. Steve Carell, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, and more became stars through Apatow. But those career-defining roles (as noted in a recent Girls on Film) haven't existed for women until the always scene-stealing Wiig found comedic, big-screen stardom, and then saw her spotlight stolen by talent like Melissa McCarthy.
Studio execs have told Nia Vardalos that films like Sex and the City were a fluke. Movie ticket sales are said to be dominated by young men ages 18-24. Yet here we are, with another record-breaking female comedy, one that has proven that our most successful modern comedy producer finds the most success when he offers the world female-driven films.
Yes folks, women are funny, and they have the box office power to back that up.

Getting a second opinion

On the gc.com forums I have heard of some really weird caches being submitted such as a decaying bird, and an old tennis shoe out in the woods.
What is the 'strangest' cache that has been submitted to you?
- 12:17 AM, May 06, 2007
- IowaAdmin said...
Wow, that's a tough question simply because of the sheer number of caches I have reviewed. I'm not one of those people with photographic memory about geocaches, but a few that I remember: Someone wanted to put four cache logs inside one container and let people log four smilies for finding it (Not approved because of 528 ft. rule between geocaches). Someone wrote to ask me if they could place an a cache inside an unconnected payphone in the woods (I said yes, but I don't think they ever did it). I guess I should ask Iowa geocachers for the answer to this, because they probably remember some pretty weird ones that I have approved and they have found.

A lot of people don't agree with the use of photo effects, but even the most renowned specialists know that there are photo-shots that absolutely need such effects. The idea is not to completely change the photo-shot, but to add an element, remove an element or highlight one in order to transform a very good photo into a perfect one. Here are 7 reasons why the use of photo effects is a good idea.
1. By using some cool photo effects, the photo will be enhanced.
Every photograph lover can be described as being a perfectionist. You can't be a photograph lover if you are not a perfectionist, so there always is a small detail that doesn't look good in your vision and that you want to change. In order to do this, you have dozens and dozens of effects to your photos, so start using them. They'll help you be proud of your work by helping you enhance the photos you so much love.
2. The errors can be concealed
It is a pity to waste an excellent photo-shot just because it has a small error. Those who choose to add effects to photos can remove the error and can make the photo look much better than it did at the beginning. By concealing the area in the photo that doesn't look too good, you can cheat the eye and impress people with a photo that is as real as possible, but that had a small error that was preventing the image from being perfect.
3. The cool photo effects can emphasize the subject
Every photo has a subject and there are numerous cases in which that photo would look much better with a more highlighted focusing on that subject. By using certain photo effects, the focusing can easily be obtained. The subject won't be ruined and it won't be changed, so there are no reasons for ignoring the effects.
4. The photo effects can give a photo-shot a special touch
When you take photos out of pure passion and when you want to use them in order to transmit a message to the world, you need that special touch that will impress the viewer. This is the reason why using the photo effects is such a good idea: they can help you obtain that unique and original touch that will surely impress the people who will see your image.
5. The photo will look professional
By adding, removing or highlighting certain elements, the photo will look professional. All those who make a living by taking image use special photo effects.
6. A simple photo is transformed into an art work
The role of image effects is to transform simple photos into art works. A splendid shoot can be transformed into a unique work of art and the photographer can gain a lot of popularity thanks to this.
7. The effects offer added beauty
A simple photo has the power to tell a story, but the story can be more interesting, exciting or dramatic thanks to the effects used.

Us conference goers are an ornery lot. We remember the disastrous under-construction DC hotel for SODA 2001, the bizarrely smelling Miami hotel for FOCS 1997, and the strange San Francisco hotel with the low ceilings and no lounge space for SODA 1998. There's an urban legend that FOCS can never go back to Las Vegas because of some unspecified incidents that happened in 1993; the truth is probably far more boring.
Special opprobium is reserved for the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC, where FOCS 1999 was held. This was an old hotel; very, very old. It had the kind of rooms you'd describe as "charming" or "quaint" in publicity material. We all know what that means.
SODA 2009 is slated to be in NYC, assuming that votes are not mysteriously erased from Hal's Powerpoint slides. I am happy to announce that the Hotel Pennsylvania will in all likelihood NOT be one of the candidates for hosting the conference: it is being demolished to make way for a multi-story office complex (story via BB)

Homer & Langley
Homer introduces himself in the book's first sentence by saying, "I'm Homer, the blind brother," and from that moment, everything is "seen" and recounted from his point-of-view. Homer is the younger brother, the one left behind with his wealthy parents when older brother Langley leaves for the battlefields of World War I France. Langley would return to the family, his health ruined by the poisonous gas he inhaled during his last fight, only to find both parents dead from the flu epidemic that had so devastated the country.
The brothers, one unable to work because of his sightlessness and the other because of the war damage to his lungs, will live together for more than 50 years as recluses in the only home they have ever known. As the years pass and the last of their domestic help leaves them, Homer and Langley venture from home less and less, Homer usually only to sit in the park across the street from the brownstone and Langley to scavenge more of the things he convinces himself might prove useful one day.
Langley, seemingly on the edge of serious mental illness, has three goals in life: pay as little to New York's public utility companies as possible; create the ultimate newspaper, one that will tell everything its readers ever need to know in a single, one-time edition; and collect duplicates of every item that catches his fancy. Homer has his music and his brother, and he would find it difficult to survive without either. Homer and Langley may not have gotten out much but life had a way of coming to them over the years in the form of visits from gangsters, prostitutes, bill collectors, dance party customers, sixties hippies, the FBI, and even a few single women, one of whom would, for a time, become Langley's wife.
Upon their deaths, many would see the real Homer and Langley Collyer as nothing more than obsessed junk collectors because they left little behind that would prove otherwise. Doctorow's sympathetic characterization of the two men reminds there has to have been much more to them than that. Homer & Langley, at times, has the unfortunate feel of a Forest Gump satire but readers will find it to be an excellent character study.

I see this book at work everyday, and everyday, I think about picking up a copy. I probably will someday, but I'll most likely wait for the paperback version. Or maybe it'll go to bargain someday.ReplyDelete
You're the first person I know who's read it, so it's nice to know what you think. Thanks for the review.
I love reading abt the Collyers, so can't wait to read this book.ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to reading this book. The brothers remind me of some of the real life people I have seen on that TV show Hoarders about people who compulsively hoard things and are unable to even throw away a used napkin. I am really intrigued by characters like these.ReplyDelete
Annie, this is definitely one for paperback or the library...good but not great book.ReplyDelete
Let me know what you think, Suzi.ReplyDelete
Kathleen, that show is about people very much like Langley. I can't imagine how his brother lived with him all those years...ReplyDelete

Just looking to read the reviews? Click here.
I'm excited for this week's pick. The world needs more comics with talking dogs.
Beasts of Burden #1
as selected by Kerny[/center]
Writer: Evan Dorkin
Artist: Jill Thompson
When supernatural occurrences sweep the community of Burden Hill, it's up to a heroic gang of cats and dogs to keep residents safe from harm.
A bizarre disturbance leads these four-legged neighbors on a wild-goose chase into the depths of the nearby forest, where loyalties are tested and lives come to an abrupt end.
Award-winning comics creators Evan Dorkin (Milk & Cheese) and Jill Thompson (Scary Godmother) first introduced these heroic characters in the anthologies The Dark Horse Book of Hauntings, Witchcraft, the Dead, and Monsters, for which they won coveted Eisner Awards for Best Short Story and Best Painter.
Adventure, mystery, horror and humor thrive on every page of Beasts of Burden -- a comic-book series that will capture readers' hearts and haunt their dreams.
Wolverine: Giant Size Old Man Logan
as selected by 48THRiLLS[/center]
WRITER: Mark Millar
PENCILS: Steve McNiven
This is it! The moment you've been waiting for! Prepare yourselves for the most brutal battle in the history of comics as Wolverine returns— and unleashes a tidal wave of bloody revenge! It's Wolverine versus the Hulk Gang to the death! Don't miss the flesh-rending final chapter to the greatest Wolverine story ever told by the peerless Mark Millar and Steve McNiven! Plus—you won't be able to tear yourself away from the gallery of covers, background material, behind-the-scenes extras, and all-new pinups that fill out this GIANT-SIZE SPECTACULAR! Parental Advisory …$4.99
If you would like to join the group it's easy. Just post a review and I'll add you to the member's list. As long as you stay active, eventually it will be your turn to make a pick.
With $4 comics becoming the norm, the economy being what it is and the growing popularity of mail order services the Review Group recognizes that it's becoming harder and harder to commit to participating each and every week. As long as you can post one review per calendar month you will stay in the member's list. It doesn't matter if you post your review the week of it's release or if you post it later. Going forward, there is no such thing as a "late" review.
The only request I make with the new format is that if you don't plan on posting a review or if you're going to be posting late is that you drop a note in the thread so that I can keep track of who is active and who isn't. The Spreadshee of Doom is thorough, but it can't read your mind.
Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Beyond that, there's no right or wrong.
If it's your week, you must announce your selection by 5pm EST the day Diamond releases it's shipping list. If you do not announce your pick at that time, I will add a poll to the thread that will remain open until 12pm EST so that the group can make the selection for that week. (If you're seriously MIA, I'll probably put the poll up sooner) To ensure that you know it's your week, I will PM you when Midtown's list goes live on Thursdays.

Gansbaai (Goose Bay) [23] is a town in the Overberg region, Western Cape, South Africa. By road it is 165 km South East of Cape Town.
Gansbaai developed around a fresh water fountain frequented by wild Egyptian geese. Later a harbour was built around the fountain and a (now abolished) whaling station was erected in De Kelders, just outside of town. Gansbaai is a bustling little fishermen's village with humble beginnings and a Great White heart. The Gansbaai Fishing Co-op that was formed in 1952 is still the main industry and employment generator in the town. The views of the fishing boats coming and going still remains one of the town's unique sights.
In recent years the town has been discovered for the traveler's destination it truly with its many indoor and outdoor activities. Kayaking, land-based whale watching, horse riding, qaud biking, fynbos safaris, hikes and walks up the mountain and scenic flights can all be enjoyed in this busy village.
Get in[edit]
From Cape Town, follow the N2 in the direction of Hermanus then take the R43 turnoff and follow that route until you come reach Gansbaai, about two hours driving time.
Get around[edit]
See[edit][add listing]
The hinterland of Danger-Point-Peninsula is a mosaic of different habitats of the remarkable Cape Floral Kingdom including fynbos, ancient indigenous forest, agricultural lands, vineyards, flower-farms and rural communities. Experienced guides are available to take you to the highest mountain peaks on foot or horseback, along the pristine beaches or through fields of fynbos. There are many nature reserves in the area and several species of antelope and an abundance of different bird species can be seen in the area. The rich diversity of the area is mainly due to the plethora of different landscapes. The diversity is not restricted to land however, but also includes our abundant oceans which is home to our Marine Big 5.
The small seaside village of Franskraal has one of the quaintest museums in the country. An original "Strandveld-house", the small museum now holds remnants of days long forgotten. The rich history of the surprising village can be found within the four walls and the knowledge of the owners.
Following the road from Gansbaai to Elim, the hamlet of Baardskeerdersbos (locally known as B'bos) can easily be missed. It holds a small number of houses but also houses some of the most talented and creative artists in the Overberg area. A biannual festival is held to celebrate their works. This picturesque hamlet is ideally positioned in the magnificent Boesmansriver-valley nestled in between fynbos-clad hills.
The neighboring village of Elim is an old Moravian mission station, established to function as a refuge for Khoi-people (the indigenous inhabitants of the Western Cape) in the 18th century. Visiting Elim is almost a time travel to the 19th century. There is a monumental church, a working water-mill and the only monument to celebrate the abolition of slavery in South Africa. Elim is also known for its outstanding wine estate and award-winning wines, a definite must-see along the way to Cape Agulhas.
Do[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
Gansbaai is a working fishing town and the local restaurants serve a lot of fresh fish. Gansbaai is also crayfish town, of which there is plenty to enjoy during the crayfish season. Gansbaai is also famous for its Perlemoen (Abelone). It is a threatened shellfish and locally considered as a culinary delight, though some people might argue it is an acquired taste. The neighbouring Victorian village of Stanford has a few very good restaurants.
Drink[edit][add listing]
There are various places in Main street in Gansbaai, but one could also have a sunset-drink overlooking the harbour watching the fishing boats come home or on top of the cliffs in De Kelders watching the whales prepare for the night.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
The Danger Point Peninsula area has strangely enough not developed a vast tourism infrastructure. There are no hotels or resorts and - contrary to Hermanus on the other side of Walker Bay - the total amount of beds in the area is restricted. Yet there are some lodges, guesthouse and nature reserves, spread around Gansbaai, offering comfortable to luxury accommodation.

With Fastlane 2017 coming up in a few weeks, Fastlane on Sunday could provide a major momentum shift for WWE in the lead up to its biggest show of the year.
It is all set to go down on Sunday, March 5 at 8 p.m. ET live worldwide on the WWE Network. The kickoff show will begin one hour earlier at 7 p.m. ET.
Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax: Considering Jax has been dominating Banks as of late, WWE Fastlane 2017 it makes sense for the former champion to get back in the win column here. That could lead Jax to take out Banks as revenge during the women's title match later in the show, which could ultimately help set up the Fatal 4Way women's title match I expect at WrestleMania 33. Pick: Sasha Banks wins
Tag Team Championship — Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (c) vs. Enzo Amore & Big Cass:Fastlane 2017 WWE has done an adequate job rebuilding Gallows and Anderson after hanging them with an awful comedy gimmick as The Club came to an end. Considering Enzo and Cass have never held a tag team title in WWE or NXT, it would be a bit confusing to give them a win here as the moment can be built up much greater down the line. Perhaps they can capture the titles at WrestleMania, where the big-time faces could elicit a huge pop from the crowd in Orlando, Florida, where they first gained popularity with NXT. Pick: Gallows & Anderson retain the titles
Cruiserweight Championship — Neville (c) vs. Jack Gallagher: Fastlane 2017 Live Neville has been fantastic as a dominant heel in his return to WWE from injury. Though others are enjoying the cruiserweight division, for me, he's the only entertaining part of it right now. WWE is not booking him to drop the belt to Gallagher. Pick: Neville retains the title
Samoa Joe vs. Sami Zayn: In what has a chance to be the match Fastlane 2017 Live Stream of the night, Joe and Zayn should put on a show. Not only are the two quite familiar with each other, their clashing styles will most likely produce an exciting match. Considering Joe was just introduced to WWE and is currently involved in a major storyline with Seth Rollins and Triple H, it makes more sense for him to go over here. Pick: Samoa Joe wins

Yadkin Valley Wine Festival on Saturday
The 12th annual Yadkin Valley Wine Festival, sponsored by the Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce, is set for 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at Elkin Municipal Park.
This year's festival promises to showcase a wider variety of wineries than in previous years.
"The Yadkin Valley Wine Festival Committee has been working for months in preparation for our 12th annual event," said Misty Matthews, interim chamber president.
"In spite of some difficult weather conditions in the past, and the impact of the economy on tourism, we continue to enjoy growing participation year after year."
The 2013 festival will feature 29 wineries and vineyards pouring.
The festival showcases wines or grapes from the Yadkin Valley Appellation, consisting of Surry, Yadkin, Wilkes and portions of Stokes, Forsyth, Davidson and Davie counties.
The appellation, which was approved in 2002, allows vineyards in the region to bottle their wines under a label saying they were produced in the Yadkin Valley.
The festival features food, crafts and music. This year, four bands will entertain throughout the day — Natty Boh Duo, Porch Dog Revival, Blues DeVille and L Shaped Lot.
Advance tickets are available for $20 at Lowe's Foods and Just Save grocery stores and by calling the Yadkin Valley Chamber at 336-526-1111. Tickets are $25 at the gate. Admission is free for those who choose not to consume or purchase wines and for those younger than 21.
Call 336-526-1111 or visit www.yvwf.com for more information.

Jealous Of Joe - 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 CumminsPosted in Project Vehicles on July 1, 2010
Joe Salas just needed a tow rig, a nice strong diesel tow rig. But as happens, one thing led to another and now his '03 Dodge 2500 is a dune-jumping, race-chasing, high-performance machine. It also still has enough style for his wife to borrow it for girl's nights out on the town and could probably survive the end of the world if need be.
Joe has a diesel shop known as NTG Racing, as in Nuts To Go Racing. It's a Dodge-specific shop and where his own ride went from "just a tow rig" to something ready for just about any adventure (or job) that comes his way. In fact, Joe daily drives the truck, works on the chase crew for KORE Suspension's desert race team, and still has time to take the family out to the dunes on the weekend. It was on one of those family vacations when his son borrowed the keys and put some airtime under the General Tire Grabbers; the truck took it all in stride. With a truck this clean and capable, we're definitely jealous of Joe.

can you add trading on pokemon games
can you add trading on pokemon games
Not possible so far
There should be trading. It's the only way to truly beat any of the games. Vulpix is in LeafGreen and Growlithe is in FireRed. If you're Playing FireRed and you want a Vulpix, the only way to get her is through trade.
How does trade originally work on the GBA ?

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the first time in the history of the men's and women's tennis programs both squads defeated Colby College in the same season, let alone the same day. The men's team recorded a 4-3 victory while the women won, 5-4, on Saturday. The men's squad posted their first win over the Mules since the 1995-96 season as the women's team defeated Colby for the first time since 2000-01. All four teams first squared off during the same season 20 years ago, with the men blanking the Mules, 9-0. Last season, the Engineers dropped both decisions by one point.
The No. 2 doubles tandem of Joanna McKay and Elaine Ni recorded the first point for the Engineers with an 8-1 decision. Colby tied the match when Serena Lin and Mariah Hoover lost to Tracy Nale and Allison Dunn, 8-5. Tech regained the lead on an 8-2 victory by Jusleen Karve and Jill Konowich in the No. 3 position.
Nale notched a 6-4, 6-0 win over Ni and Dunn defeated Lin, 7-5, 6-2, to put the Mules ahead, 3-2. Yi Wang evened the match with a 7-5, 6-1 win in the No. 4 slot. MIT took the lead for good on Mariah Hoover's 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-2 battle at the No. 3 position. Konowich clinched the winning point by upending Nicole Veilleux, 6-4, 6-2. Emily Chen fell in the final match of the day, 6-7, 6-4, 10-5.
In exhibition play, Lisa Shank and Wang defeated Nadele Roux and Schmidt, 8-1. MacKay, Karve, and Shank each won their singles exhibition matches while Karina Pikhart lost, 6-3.

Image of the feature "Corbel tables, corbels: Corbels" at Fangfoss.
by Rita Wood.
It is difficult to identify any original length of the arched corble table in situ, unless it is the fragment squeezed in on the N wall of the chancel, so it is likely all to be due to the restoration by Chantrell. The corbel table has a series of arches separated by a straight horizontal passage; there is a small roll moulding on the angle. A corbel fits on alternate straight edges, these are wider than the intermediate edges.
The old corbels do not always fit correctly under the table, being sometimes too wide, and sometimes to narrow, or set forward or backward. There are also some trimmed corbels: the beakhead, when it is used on a corbel, always has the roll-moulding as on an arch, but here they have no roll; NS6 also looks as if a roll has been trimmed away.
See VI, Loose Sculpture for a fragment of original corbel table found in the grounds of Fangfoss Hall in October 2003. Not seen in 2015.
Some corbels are no longer recognisable, since the Victorian restoration, and corbel N4 has been replaced recently (2015).
Corbels are numbered from L to R on nave, and on chancel, N and S walls.

TV Network Exec Argues That Anything That Causes Cable Subscribers To Cut The Cord Is Illegal
from the felony-interference-with-a-business-model dept
But, you know, disrupting the TV networks business model isn't illegal.
Yet, as with the DISH Networks case, wherein the networks seem to be claiming that skipping commercials is illegal, the networks in the Aereo case don't seem to have much of an argument other than "this disrupts our business model."
In a hearing about whether or not the court should issue a preliminary injunction (as has happened in the similar, but different in important ways, ivi and Zediva cases) the judge didn't just roll over for the networks, and allowed Aereo's lawyers to grill an exec from CBS, who more or less admitted that they think (1) the DVR is a bigger threat than Aereo and (2) that their main issue is that Aereo may lead to more cord cutting.
But, again, getting more people to cut the cord isn't illegal. This is, once again, appearing like a "felony interference with a business model" case. The network exec actually tried to make the argument on the stand that the fact that someone might cancel their cable subscription to use Aereo (cord cutting) is a form of "harm" that requires Aereo be shut down by preliminary injunction. Thankfully, the judge wasn't buying that logic:
The judge also got into the act somewhat, addressing broadcasters' insistence that any customer who cancels his or her cable service to sign up with Aereo is a problem. How does subtracting one subscriber impact advertising, asked the judge, which caused the CBS executive to admit that it would have to be one Nielsen household that canceled for impact, and later that it would more likely have to be a substantial number of defections.There was some other damning info that came out in the hearing, including the fact that the TV networks refused to even talk to Aereo, never sent a cease & desist, and only decided to sue once they found out that Barry Diller was backing Aereo. Hopefully, the judge refuses the injunction. At the very least, it's good that he's not willing to just roll over and kill innovative startups because they mess with the entertainment industry's business model.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Why sould we follow Quran Alone?
- Because God has commanded us to ONLY follow His words; Quran, the whole Quran, and nothing but the Quran:
[18:27] You shall recite what is revealed to you of your Lord's scripture. Nothing shall abrogate His words, and you shall not find any other source beside it.
[6:114] Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed?* Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.
[45:6] These are GOD's revelations that we recite to you truthfully. In which Hadith other than GOD and His revelations do they believe?
[5:50] Is it the law of the days of ignorance that they seek to uphold? Whose law is better than GOD's for those who have attained certainty?
- Because God states that Quran alone was all what was revealed to prophet Muhammad, and was all what this honest prophet delivered, uttered/recited, followed, or reminded with:
[5:99] The sole duty of the messenger is to deliver the message, and GOD knows everything you declare and everything you conceal.
[5:48] Then we revealed to you this scripture, truthfully, confirming previous scriptures, and superseding them. You shall rule among them in accordance with GOD's revelations, and do not follow their wishes if they differ from the truth that came to you.....
[5:49] You shall rule among them in accordance with GOD's revelations to you. Do not follow their wishes, and beware lest they divert you from some of GOD's revelations to you. If they turn away, then know that GOD wills to punish them for some of their sins. Indeed, many people are wicked.
[6:19] Say, "Whose testimony is the greatest?" Say, "GOD's. He is the witness between me and you that this Quran* has been inspired to me, to preach it to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods* beside GOD." Say, "I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry."
[27:91] I am simply commanded to worship the Lord of this town - He has made it a safe sanctuary - and He possesses all things. I am commanded to be a submitter.
[27:92] And to recite the Quran. Whoever is guided is guided for his own good, and if they go astray, then say, "I am simply a warner."
[50:45] We are fully aware of everything they utter, while you have no power over them. Therefore, remind with this Quran, those who reverence My warnings.
[69:40] This is the utterance of an honorable messenger.
[69:41] Not the utterance of a poet; rarely do you believe.
[69:42] Nor the utterance of a soothsayer; rarely do you take heed.
[69:43] A revelation from the Lord of the universe.
[69:44] Had he uttered any other teachings. [69:45] We would have punished him.
[69:46] We would have stopped the revelations to him.
- Because God teaches us that prophet Muhammad never explained the Quran through any type of "Hadith" or "Sunna" as claimed by the vast majority of Muslims. He was commanded NOT to explain the Quran, and he followed that divine command:
[75:16] Do not move your tongue to hasten it. [75:17] It is we who will collect it into Quran. [75:18] Once we recite it, you shall follow such a Quran. [75:19] Then it is we who will explain it.
- Because God assures us over and over that the only Sunna we must follow is God's Sunna (15:13, 17:77-twice- 33:38, 33:62 -twice- 35:43 -twice- 40:85, 48:23 -twice). Any other Sunnas mentioned in the Quran, are referring to the Sunna or the system of other entities and these verses teach us how we must reflect and note the bad consequences we face when we follow such man -made Sunnas!! (8:38, 18:55, and 35:43).
- Because God states that Quran is the only Hadith and the Best Hadith:
[52:34] Let them produce a Hadith like this, if they are truthful.
[77:50] Which Hadith, other than this, do they uphold?
[39:23] GOD has revealed herein the best Hadith; a book that is consistent, and points out both ways (to Heaven and Hell). The skins of those who reverence their Lord cringe therefrom, then their skins and their hearts soften up for GOD's message. Such is GOD's guidance; He bestows it upon whoever wills (to be guided). As for those sent astray by GOD, nothing can guide them.
- Because God has warned us that for every prophet, there are those Satanic enemies who will always fabricate lies and attribute them to God and His prophet. We are instructed to stay away from such fabrications:
[6:112] We have permitted the enemies of every prophet - human and jinn devils - to inspire in each other fancy words, in order to deceive. Had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. You shall disregard them and their fabrications. [6:113] This is to let the minds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter listen to such fabrications, and accept them, and thus expose their real convictions.*
- Because God teaches us that following other sources besides Him is what defines idol worship. Idol worship is the only unforgivable sin if we maintain until death:
[3:79] Never would a human being whom GOD blessed with the scripture and prophethood say to the people, "Idolize me beside GOD." Instead, (he would say), "Devote yourselves absolutely to your Lord alone," according to the scripture you preach and the teachings you learn.
[12:108] Say, "This is my path: I invite to GOD, on the basis of a clear proof, and so do those who follow me. GOD be glorified. I am not an idol worshiper."
[17:46] We place shields around their minds, to prevent them from understanding it, and deafness in their ears. And when you preach your Lord, using the Quran alone,* they run away in aversion.
[39:45] When GOD ALONE is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion. But when others are mentioned beside Him, they become satisfied.*
[4:116] GOD does not forgive idol worship (if maintained until death),* and He forgives lesser offenses for whomever He wills. Anyone who idolizes any idol beside GOD has strayed far astray.
- Because God confirms that Quran is a complete, fully detailed book that has all what we need for our salvation:
[6:115] The word of your Lord is complete,* in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
[7:52] We have given them a scripture that is fully detailed, with knowledge, guidance, and mercy for the people who believe.
[12:111] In their history, there is a lesson for those who possess intelligence. This is not fabricated Hadith; this (Quran) confirms all previous scriptures, provides the details of everything, and is a beacon and mercy for those who believe.
[17:9] This Quran guides to the best path, and brings good news to the believers who lead a righteous life, that they have deserved a great recompense.
[6:51] And preach with this (Quran) to those who reverence the summoning before their Lord - they have none beside Him as a Lord and Master, nor an intercessor - that they may attain salvation.
- Because God states that Quran is infallible, clear, with no ambiguity or contradictions, and easy to learn:
[10:37] This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than GOD. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a fully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from the Lord of the universe.
[39:28] An Arabic Quran, without any ambiguity, that they may be righteous.
[4:82] Why do they not study the Quran carefully? If it were from other than GOD, they would have found in it numerous contradictions.*
[54:17] We made the Quran easy to learn. Does any of you wish to learn?
Unfortunately, God has already told us that the majority of humans on earth will deviate from His only one message of worshiping Him alone and following Him alone. They resort to other sources besides God's for religious laws and guidance. God has warned us to NOT follow the majority:
[6:116] If you obey the majority of people on earth, they will divert you from the path of GOD. They follow only conjecture; they only guess.
[12:103] Most people, no matter what you do, will not believe.
[12:106] The majority of those who believe in GOD do not do so without committing idol worship.
The following will be the messenger's complaint on the Day of Judgment about all those who have witnessed the Quran and decided to desert it for other sources:
[25:30] The messenger said, "My Lord, my people have deserted this Quran."

Former Florida governor and senator Bob Graham is calling on President Obama to reopen the investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks after new information has emerged about the possible role of prominent Saudis in the 9/11 plot.
Yea Bob - Sure: WTF! - Zelikow Appointed to Obama's Intelligence Advisory Board - WTF!
According to recent news reports, a wealthy young Saudi couple fled their home in a gated community in Sarasota, Florida, just a week or so before Sept. 11, 2001, leaving behind three cars and nearly all of their possessions. Indira Singh Testimony 2004The FBI was tipped off about the couple but never passed the information on to the 9/11 Commission investigating the attacks, even though phone records showed the couple had ties to Mohamed Atta and at least 10 other al-Qaeda suspects. Graham joins us to discuss the news he's called "the most important thing about 9/11 to surface in the last seven or eight years." As the former chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, a post he held on September 11, 2001, Graham chaired the Congressional Joint Inquiry into the attacks.
He's just written a novel called "Keys to the Kingdom," which follows a fictitious former senator and co-chair of the 9/11 congressional inquiry who is murdered near his Florida home after he uncovers an international conspiracy linking the Saudi Kingdom to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda. Graham says he chose to write the novel after his 2000 non-fiction book, "Intelligence Matters," was heavily censored.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The focus of the team has changed with their return to Cambridge from Cocoa Beach, Florida. Gone are the rigors of blister maintenance, a concentration on sustaining proper sunscreen coverage, and staying hydrated in the balmy sun. Instead the focus of the oarsmen has turned outward to a 30 year tradition at the Institute. The Independent Activities Period (IAP ) provides team members a unique opportunity to organize, sponsor and/or partake in a wide variety of campus events and programs outside the traditional MIT academic arena.
IAP offerings are distinguished by their variety, innovative spirit, and fusion of fun and learning. Student athletes can set their own educational agendas, pursue independent projects or research, meet with faculty, or pursue many other options not possible during the semester. Activities range from credit activities such as human biochemistry lectures and community service workshops, to noncredit offerings such as Mediterranean cooking classes, improvisational comedy workshops and printmaking.
Below is a sampling of opportunities that Lightweight oarsmen have undertaken during IAP:
Aaron Blankstein '10 (Jacksonville, Fla.)
Sophomore Year - Battlecode We write an artificial intelligence for virtual robots that will be battling other teams' robots at the end of IAP. We end up doing a lot of cool AI to get our robots to communicate, navigate difficult terrain and generally kill the enemy while capturing key areas. http://battlecode.mit.edu/2009/
Russell Ryan '09 (Indianapolis, Ind.)
Sophomore year - Playstation 3 Development I took 6.189, a Playstation 3 development course. I designed a Real-time Interactive Raytracer for the Playstation 3, which achieved particularly impressive framerates due to the processing power of the PS3 mixed with some really cool algorithms a heavyweight varsity rower (now graduated) and I came up with. We then presented it at the 2007 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco as special guests of Sony Corporation. That was definitely the coolest thing I've ever done for IAP; not many undergrads get the privilege of presenting their work at a major conference in their field. It's why I love MIT so much; it's so easy to get exposure to the real world. http://www.cag.csail.mit.edu/ps3/blue-steel.shtml
Freshman Year - Robotics Design Competition I enrolled in MASLab (6.186) : Robotics Design competition, we built (from scratch) a computerized robot and programmed it to use vision algorithms to seek red balls on a complex playing field, pick them up, and carry them to goals. The class is definitely an awesome use of IAP for mechancial/electrical engineers and computer science majors (even aero/astro people). http://maslab.csail.mit.edu/

Sophomore and Junior Year - Autonomous Robot Design Competition: This year, I'm an organizer for the MIT 6.270 Autonomous Robot Design Competition. Here's a short summary of the contest: In 6.270, teams of 2-3 contestants design, build, and program an autonomous robot from LEGO and additional electronics. Using the supplied microcontroller-based "HappyBoard" brain and their own planning and coding skills, contestants construct a strategy to explore and manipulate the game arena to score points in a public double-elimination tournament. This year's contest, titled "One Small Brick", is themed after privatized space exploration on Mars in the year 2067. http://web.mit.edu/6.270/www/

MIT Solar Electric Vehicle Team I've been involved since freshman year, was the leader of the team for two years, and I'm currently trying to ensure a smooth transition of leadership. This IAP, the team has been working very hard to prepare a brand new vehicle for a trip to a windtunnel in Detroit. We will test the aerodynamic properties of the car to ensure safety at highway speeds and to help us estimate its performance. The team is planning to compete in the World Solar Challenge next October in Australia. http://www.mitsolar.com

Sophomore Year: MIT Women's Initiative. We created a presentation for high school girls about careers in engineering. We are leaving next week for Kentucky to present our program that will show young women about different fields of engineering and also to explain the need and opportunities for women in these fields. Our program is interactive and should be really interesting. http://web.mit.edu/wi/

Yeah, another good source of info and supplies says 'fongool' to the framebuilder's chat world. Yep, all you guys who chime in with your dismissives have won another battle against enlightenment....what am I talking about ? Same old thing-In a perfect world the internet could serve as an exchange of pertinent information for everyone, even stinky anti-social framebuilders working away in garages and the like all over the world. The problem is the same old thing.....loud and animated bleatings from a few drown out the constructive info from the others. No doubt,here....the internet is the domain of all sorts of people looking for a scrap , some sort of debate-even if there is none.....these folks want to be the final word, even if that final word is bullshit from a narrow mind. Well, yet another learned person has given you the middle finger , depriving the rest of us from any useful information we could have gleaned. The person I refer to was a suppier of cutting edge brazing supplies......stuff that helps all of you stainless-steel junkies join your tempermental tubes to your shiny bits in an easier more reliable fashion. I know for a fact that if any one of us got in some sort of problem with any brazing/soldering situation we could call this person and with almost no exceptions he would get us out of it. So, all you crumudgeons.....are you satisfied ? Now that a voice of experience has been dispatched are you happier that now you can rule the internet with your opinons ? Hmmm, truth and usefule information got in the way of your quest for the last word ? O.K., now you can have the last word , even though your last word isn't useful information, most likely not based in truth and not helpful to anyone else in any way........my guess is that the word is " Ignorance".

No sympathy for people who are their own worst enemy. Both in their online behavior and apparently in their business too. Great resource or not, the number of times he has "quit" in disgust is innumerable. Add that to the charming personal notes he likes to send to people that disagree with him, and the racist BS he spouts , well good riddance. You can still call him. Or email him as he really never leaves.ReplyDelete

I haven't had a 'big' giveaway in a while, thought I would offer these up this week:
Yep, that's a lot of cookbooks.
I counted close to 150 books. Might as well throw in another one, a signed copy of my book "Handwritten Recipes" -
Now, keep in mind that when these ship it will be at least six very large and heavy boxes. If you plan on entering, you may have to plan ahead.
Contest now closed, will announce the winner shortly.

>Gears and Wears>Most durable earbuds/earphones ???
Ok, I am getting pretty peeved that I keep buying earbuds and the plug / wire area where it goes into the music player keeps malfunctioning/breaking. I have gone through 2 sets of apple buds, 4-5 cheap pair of random brands, a skullcandy, and have purchased 2 walmart pairs only to have them malfunctioning within 10 minutes of running. Basically they make the wire so damn cheap that any type of pull or bending of the wire is causing one side to malfunction or it is static sounding and eventually both sides go out. I have even cut the wires and spliced them on to different pairs but keep getting problems doing that as well. I keep the mp3 player in my pocket but there is very little pulling going on regarding the wire. It is just basic movements that is tearing these piece of crap things up. Please someone have a good response ( and not "Run without earphones" and I won't wear an armband thing either)

Sennheiser have always held up well for me...
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
I have both of these. I think they are both great.
They Jay Birds for when I need to bring a phone with me and the Sony for when its raining, I don't want a phone with me or I am racing.
They may be a bit more than a cheap pair of ear buds but in the long run they are definitely worth it.
Vision without action is a day dream.
Action without vision is a nightmare.
I love them, but I rarely get more than a year out of a pair...I blame my toxic sweat, however. They do have a 2 year warranty, I believe, but I have never bothered to send a pair in for replacement. I just grab the previous models when they drop in price. I probably don't spend more than $25 on a pair, which doesn't seem all that unreasonable for something that gets a lot of use and suits my needs well (I love the fit in my ears and that I can still hear well through them). I like the ones with the controls on the cord, though that's the part that has bugged-out on my current pair. I have another pair still in the package for when they really flake-out. Right now I just can't adjust the volume any louder via the cord controls. I can still advance and go back tracks and lower the volume. They worked perfectly until a few particularly sweaty runs back in July that totally shorted them out temporarily.

I'm really happy with my yurbuds. I've had them for over a year.
I had the same problems until I tried a set of these --
The wiring is much heavier than on all the other sets I've tried. They're super cheap but have surprisingly decent sound (ymmv). I use them for both running and at work (I'm a mechanic) so they get the crap beaten out of them on a daily basis. Had them for about a year so far and no problems. Good luck with your search.
Bad Ass
I bought a pair of Yurbuds and the volume and track function is broken already within 3 months. I don't think they are made for humid weather.
I liked the Yurbuds but for that issue. My go to is a pair of Philips earbuds that last me close to a year in humid and wet weather.

Doing it all wrong
I was given a pair of Yurbuds and found that they do not actually stay put. If I have to run on the TM, due to bad weather, I sweat a lot. They worked great for a week then one would always work loose. Skullcandy didn't work for more that 4 months either - the sweat killed them.
In general, I prefer earbuds that with a cord that wraps around your ear to take the strain off the cable. For that reason I bought a pair of the cheapest Shure earbubs ($99) 6 or 7 years ago. I still have then but the cable has fractured on one side. So, in the long run they worked out cheaper than buying a pair every 6-9 months. They never came loose and held up to sweat. I used them for running and general use while traveling - worked well on planes. . Will likely breakdown and get another pair but may try Sennheiser first.

Proboscis Colossus
Ditto on Yurbuds. I have the "middle" model - cloth cord, no controls, and they're still going strong *knocks on wood*.
It's important to get the earpiece sizing right. And, the sound quality isn't that great, but I've always said you shouldn't be worried about booming, head-filling bass when you're running, anyway. I mostly listen to spoken-word audio, so as long as I can make out what's being said, I'm happy.
I've also had a pair of these for...I guess almost two years now, and they still work:
Cheap Phillips
They look a little goofy, but they let in ambient sound and they have a reflective neckband. And, they still work!
"God guides us on our journey, but careful with those feet." - David Lee Roth, of all people
Forgot to mention one Yurbud headphone stopped working last week. I bought them at the end of June, so I will not buy another pair since they didn't last very long.
Susan,Queen of the Crocs
I use these and have for years. They last awhile and are cheap to replace when they do give out. My favorite feature is the ablity to hear ambient noise along with my music or podcast. I feel safer being able to hear a car coming up behind me.
My current pair are Ultimate Ears and they seem to be holding up pretty well.
