Don't Bother to Knock (1952) 11/1000
Don't Bother to Knock (1952)
Rated: Approved
Genre: Drama, Film-Noir, Mystery
Directed by Roy Ward Baker
Starring Richard Widmark, Marilyn Monroe, and Anne Bancroft
Plot: After being dumped by his girlfriend, an airline pilot pursues a babysitter in his hotel and gradually realizes she is dangerous.
Trivia: This was Anne Bancroft's film debut. It was also Marilyn Monroe's first leading film role, although it was her 18th film. She used the opportunity as an attempt to prove to critics that she could act.
Nothing about the opening credits particularly stand out to me in this one. It seems pretty standard for the time. As the movie opens into the first scene the first though I have is how little time can change in some ways and how much it can in other. There are still angry little old ladies around today, causing a fuss and havoc, but then the immediate cut to a stunningly young Anne Bancroft… time marches on even when we don't feel like it does. I have never seen her this young and the softness of her features are almost surprising. She has always been lovely, but to see her in her innocence is something else entirely. The transition of her talking to the barkeep and then singing felt off… did that really happen during this time? It feels more forced than natural. And the lip-syncing is not quite right either. I feel like it is her voice but she prerecorded it. I have no problem when it is done well, but this is not done well.
Ah, Marilyn as graced the screen at last with her beautiful face. Sweet Norma Jean will always hold a place in my heart, and her character, Nell, so far seems to play her small town girl charm well. I could watch her talk forever. The way her lips move is so soft and sensual. It is no mystery as to why she became so much more of a sex symbol than anything else. It is the unfortunate part of fame, being sold as a commodity, and her commodity was and still is sex. It isn't until later, like with so many, that we appreciated the great wealth of other assets she brought to the table. I am reminded of the line from the reported in Valley of the Dolls when Jen dies. "What were her measurements" is still one of the only things cared about with Marilyn, even now decades after her death.
After we get some plot setup with Nell getting the job as Bunny's babysitter, we journey back to hotel lounge where Lyn is singing again, Jed in attendance. This rendition is a little better but as she starts that third piece, her microphone is too far from her mouth… I know it is a tiny detail, but those kind of inconsistencies tend to glare at me. As she finishes her song, Jed comes to meet her at the bar and through conversation we are able to learn that the breakup letter we see him reading in the beginning came from her.
The cutaway to Nelly trying on the mothers jewelry and then running to the window as a plane passes overhead, a single tear dripping down her face, it is all very lovely as a sequence. The way the film is shot makes me feel like it is all being done in real time. Back to Lyn talking to Jed about her reasons not to marry him, I feel drawn to her character. I relate with her strongly in this scene and the conviction with which the lines are delivered makes it easy to see how she went so far in her career.
Elisha Cook Jr, who plays the elevator operator, is one of my all time favorite male character actors and he does not disappoint in this film. He adds just the right touch of comedy to lighten up the intense drama that is all the scenes surrounding him. Not so much to distract you into thinking this is a comedy, but enough to cut the tension every now and then with a little chuckle. The pun about his job having its ups and downs is prime for that. He delivers the line so easily, you have to think for a minute to make sure you really heard what you just did. Jed's reaction is much the same and goes to show a sense that script writers seemed to have at the time about what their audience was thinking and feeling.
The meet-cute between Nell and Jed is indeed cute as she flirts back and forth with him through the blinds. People say that Disney gave girls a false expectation of reality, I say it is things like this. Marilyn Monroe can flirt using blinds, sure, but I would probably look like a spaz and have the police called on me. Though the phone call to Nell can also be seen as a false expectation. No man calls a girl like that today and gets results. At least they better not. This is the kind of message that girls get on Tinder along with a dick pic, and those are not cool. "I'm lonely, frustrated, and I have a bottle of rye" is not a good pick up line, just for future information.
More is revealed about Nell as Eddie comes up to check on her and finds her decked out, head to toe, in the mothers belongings. She has a longing for nice things, but her mourning of a lover that died (presumably involving a plane somehow) keeps her from moving on to find the happiness she dreams of. A psychologist could pick this apart, I am sure, but I will have to do the best I can with just my fascination with character building. The resolve with which she reties the sash to the robe after dismissing Eddie is not a good sign in my opinion. It seems like she will be inviting Jed over after all. At this point, I am not sure if that idea is worse for Jed or for Nell, but either way I worry for Bunny caught in the middle of all this. This is why I don't use babysitters unless I absolutely have to. I have seen way too many movies where it all went wrong.
Through all of her hiding and setting up, I wonder if she remembers that the mother said she would be back up at 11:00 to check on things. If Nell is still dressed up in the mothers clothes with a man in the room, it is not going to turn out well at all. There are so many ways this can go wrong. This film is like a poster child for rape culture, first of all. Each word that drips from Jed's, or should I say "Billy", mouth makes me cringe and uncomfortable.
As Nell learns that Jed is a pilot and begins to invent an entire history for him, the true depth of her cracked psyche seems to be unearthed. She is now making Jed into the lover she lost by exaggerating any similarities and erasing the differences. As Bunny comes out and discovers them I am reminded again of why I don't so babysitters. Gods help the person who treats my children like that if I trust them to watch them when I am not around. "If you don't pay any attention to them, they'll stop." Okay, how about we use that concept on you, Nell? Oh god… is she going to push her out of the window?? No… NO! Get your hands off her, Nell! Whew… I really thought she was gonna die. Her speech to Bunny is chilling and she makes no secret to her intent. She is truly a dark person.
Nell and Eddie talking while Jed hides in the bathroom is another instance where I feel sympathy for Nell. I know what it is to be sheltered and held back, and I also know what it is like to have anxieties and depression because of that life. It is unfortunate that she did not get the right help because if this story were told today I could see it going a lot differently. Actually, this is one of the few classic movies that I feel could be remade with different story elements and be just as effective. I wonder if that is already out there. Any readers that might know of one, please let me know so I can add it to my list!
The climax of the film is building quickly as the nosy old lady and her husband come to the room to investigate. We see that Nell has trussed up and gagged Bunny, the couple witness Jed coming out of Bunny's room, and Nell plays off her fear and depression over his escape as fear over her life. She accuses Jed of bursting into the room and holding them hostage. As the woman is calling for help, Nell locks Eddie in the closet and a murderous look comes over her faces as she turned toward Bunny's door.
Below in the dining room as the tray of dishes comes crashing to the floor, we see that the mother's instinct catches into gear at last and her husband suggests she go check on Bunny now. It is all fortuitous timing since Nell has just gotten the couple to leave her, saying that she had something she needed to do by herself. Everything seems to be happening at once, like clockwork. All the people (and animals) coming together at once as they realize, either fully or instinctively, that Nell is bad news and Bunny needs help. Mom comes to the rescue followed quickly by Jed, but as Jed helps Eddie out of the closet, Nell slips away downstairs.
The character development as Jed talks Nell "down from the edge" so to speak feels sincere. Nell feels sincere as well, making me feel that if the trivia I found most interesting about this film is true, then she succeeded in her attempt to prove she had more acting capabilities than she was previously given credit for. This movie was really surprising for me, though I guess it shouldn't have been. I have always been a fan of Film-Noir and this was a beautiful example of it. I rate this a 4.8/5 and will try to find to add to my collection very soon.

|Cab interior and backhead detail
My aim is to finish the sheet metal work first before adding the castings to the model. The brass backhead seen above is made from an etched fret supplied by Lochgorm Kits, it awaits fittings from LGM's 2-24 Drummond Backhead set. Though there is no drawing nor other direct evidence for the backhead fittings I believe they must have been fairly standard ones, much like those of the Loch class, for which there is a drawing, though adjusted to fit a smaller prototype. There is an inner front spectacle plate, to which the backhead is attached, which slides upwards so that this unit can be removed and worked on as a separate module. The circular brass window surrounds were etched to my own design.
|HR 46 sheet metal work nearing completion.
The Highland built four of these little Passenger Tanks in 1905/6, based on Drummond's solitary HR53 of 1901 which was the subject of an earlier scratch building project on my Blog.
From the four possibilities I decided to model HR46 in original condition with the boiler bands on show rather than being covered by a saddle, which seems to have been added later across the side tanks of all these engines. Both front and rear spectacle plates are double to facilitate glazing.
|Cab interior showing coal hole with sliding door.
The coal hole has a sliding door which adds interest to the interior of the cab, there will be much more detail in the cab before the model is finished and of course consideration is already being given to the poses and positions of the crew.
|HR46 showing opening cab doors.
I've been poring over photos to try and understand the way that the sneck that holds the door shut from the inside works and I think I've got it; it's quite simple really and I'll see if I can replicate it in miniature tonight! There's a tablet catcher attached on the left hand side of the engine so the door will need a slot cutting in it to accommodate the operating mechanism of the apparatus which goes between the door stanchion and the tank side sheet.

Sony's new iPhone/iPod dock comes with subwoofer, USB
Winging towards more serious iPod dock business, Sony has announced the SRS-GD50iP - a 2.1-channel USB speaker system with an integrated iPhone/iPod docking station.
And this doesn't look like just another ordinary dock for your iPod/iPhone to sit pretty - the SRS-GD50iP can directly synchronize the iPod/iPhone with iTunes via its USB interface. Even as it can charge the iPod/iPhone and play music (upto 60W) through the well-designed sound system that comprises a 40W subwoofer(!) and two 10W speakers which can be rigged up to your PC via USB. And oh, like the previous docking stations from Sony, this one too comes with a remote control to allow users to play or pause music as well as control volume levels wirelessly. Neat. The SRS-GD50iP is expected to show up (in the US) during the end of August 2009, at a pretty reasonable price range of $150-$199.

As we predicted earlier today, Alexander Gustafsson won't get an immediate rematch with Jon Jones. Instead, Jones will go on to defend his UFC Light-heavyweight title against Glover Teixeira at an event still to be announced in 2014.
"That's what the champ wants," UFC President Dana White told ESPN.com. "We'll probably have that fight on the Super Bowl card in New Jersey."
Jones had initially indicated he was willing to give Gustafsson a rematch after the Swedish fighter gave him the toughest fight of his career so far, but has since rewatched the fight multiple times and is convinced that he dominated the fight.
As such he now wants to move on to pastures new in the form of Teixeira who's unbeaten in his last 20 fights, with five of them coming inside the UFC's Octagon culminating in a KO victory against Ryan Bader earlier this month.
However, Jones is keen to stress that he's not completely casting Gustafsson aside and that he does still want to rematch him at a later date.
"I'm going to fight Glover and I will answer all the critics about the Gustafsson fight," Jones told ESPN. "I will fight Gustafsson after I fight Glover. I won the fight but I look at it as a blemish on my record because some people think I didn't. I promise you, he will be next."
There's no guarantees that will be the case though given that Gustafsson will almost certainly have to fight another top contender while waiting for his next shot at the title, and if he lost then all bets would be off.
As for who Gustafsson may face, some of the opponents also currently vying at the top end of the division include Phil Davis (who's beaten Gustafsson before in the UFC), Rashad Evans (if he can get past Chael Sonnen in October) and Daniel Cormier (if he defeats Roy Nelson and makes good on his current plan to drop to 205lbs).

Researchers have blunt news for states with bans on disposing junk TVs in landfills:
They don't work.
Their paper is one of the first to analyze how well e-waste laws have worked. The report looks at the effectiveness of these laws, which were adopted by 12 states before 2010. Oregon was the only Northwest state with such a law when the report was done, its authors wrote.
All 12 state laws share the same goal: keep all the hazardous chemicals in computers, monitors, TVs and other electronic waste out of the environment.
One of the report's authors, Jean-Daniel M. Saphores, is with the University of California at Irvine. He presented the paper this week at a meeting of the American Chemical Society and, according to the group's report, Saphores summed up its findings this way:
"The patchwork of state-by-state or even city-by-city measures that have been adopted to deal with e-waste have been ineffective."
The report drew its conclusions based on the authors' survey of more than 3,000 U.S. households — focusing on their intentions for getting rid of old cell phone and their storage at home of junk TVs and plans for disposing of them.
With cell phones, the report's conclusions were encouraging: a California law seems to be working at increasing mobile-phone recycling. And survey results showed people were inclined to recycle their small electronic devices.
With junk TVs, however, the existence of an e-waste ban has no statistically significant impact on people's intention to trash or reuse junk TVs rather than recycle them.
That's the story nationally. But what about in Oregon? The report itself didn't single any states out in deciding whether they were part of the overall trend. but the head of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's e-waste program said she thinks Oregon's disposal ban is working to keep TVs, computers and monitors out of landfills.
DEQ's Loretta Pickerell says Oregon's e-waste recycling facilities last year collected 26.7 million pounds of materials. That's up from 25.9 million pounds in 2011.
Pickerell says disposal laws are going to be ineffective without a robust recycling program — a component to Oregon's system. Consumers can drop off TVs, computers and monitors for free; the state requires manufacturers to pay the costs for such items that are sold within the state.
"If you ban something and don't have another place for people to take it, then what are they going to do?" she notes.
Pickerell says she agrees that Oregon is among the states that could do better in one area the study points out: increasing public awareness that targets women and younger people.

"Restoring Cornelia"
The website is finally showing her age. I started this site in 2009, and the blogging software has given up the ghost (decided to stop working for the most part).
I COULD update the software, but I've decided the overall site is limited. The site needs have outgrown the support structure that I originally designed and anticipated. For example, I get a number of emails on a weekly basis, and I feel that my responses would help others if I could find a way to share the questions and the responses. So going forward, we'll incorporate the methodology to do just that.
Look for a new site in the coming weeks, titled the same of course, but much, much more interactive elements. I'll still have a blog, but I'll have a much better gallery where you can show off YOUR truck projects too, and I'll find a way where we can ask and respond to questions without inviting spammers. WordPress will be the backbone, so we can add or delete elements at will.
I appreciate everyone's support, and ask yout to hang in there during the difficult transition time ahead.

It's that time of the week again! :)
In honor of Hangover 2's release (which was funny, btw. Though not as funny as the first one. Frankly, how could it be?), I'm choosing the very delicious Bradley Cooper.
I have a feeling I'm not alone in this adoration. I watched two, usually very serious, female CNN reporters turn into a puddle of babbling, incoherent words when they tried to interview Bradley last month. I tried to find the video online because it was so funny to see the reporters getting all giggly and blushy, but alas, I could not find it.
But hope you enjoy!
So what do you think? Think you could keep your composure to interview him? :)

You Are One of ThemBook - 2013
--Maggie Shipstead, The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)
"A story about Russia, the United States, friendship, identity, defection, and deception that is smart, startling, and worth reading regardless of when you were born."
--Kathryn Schulz, New York Magazine
"Holt's beguiling debut… in which there is no difference between personal and political betrayal, vividly conjures the anxieties of the Cold War without ever lapsing into nostalgia."
-- The New Yorker
Sarah Zuckerman and Jennifer Jones are best friends in an upscale part of Washington, D.C., in the politically charged 1980s. Sarah is the shy, wary product of an unhappy home: her father abandoned the family to return to his native Engl∧ her agoraphobic mother is obsessed with fears of nuclear war. Jenny is an all-American girl who has seemingly perfect parents. With Cold War rhetoric reaching a fever pitch in 1982, the ten-year-old girls write letters to Soviet premier Yuri Andropov asking for peace. But only Jenny's letter receives a response, and Sarah is left behind when her friend accepts the Kremlin's invitation to visit the USSR and becomes an international media sensation. The girls' icy relationship still hasn't thawed when Jenny and her parents die tragically in a plane crash in 1985.
Ten years later, Sarah is about to graduate from college when she receives a mysterious letter from Moscow suggesting that Jenny's death might have been a hoax. She sets off to the former Soviet Union in search of the truth, but the more she delves into her personal Cold War history, the harder it is to separate facts from propaganda.
You Are One of Them is a taut, moving debut about the ways in which we define ourselves against others and the secrets we keep from those who are closest to us. In her insightful forensic of a mourned friendship, Holt illuminates the long lasting sting of abandonment and the measures we take to bring back those we have lost.

Sarah Zuckerman defines herself by the people she's lost & ends up in 1990s Moscow chasing one or two ghosts. I loved the way this novel brought back the 1980s and 90s. Unapologetic in its melancholy tone.
This was a random choice - I have liked older Russian lit. Much of the book was skimmed because I found it tedious, although I enjoyed the details of more modern Russia & wonder just how accurate it is. It reminded me a bit of the current tv series The Americans, taking place about the same time period. It also reminded me of how gullible or trusting each is of their own surroundings, be it family, church, school, socio-economic beliefs, government. Very present are suggestions that not all of what one is taught/told is the absolute truth & the only right way to function.
This book gets you, the reader, hooked from the get-go. This is Ms Holt's first book, and she is a fine writer. Is this a mystery novel, a spy novel, a coming of age story, a relationship story? Perhaps all of the above. For me, it was ultimately about dealing with unfairness in life and finding the ability to move on. There are also many fascinating insider details about Russia's transition from totalitarian communist state through the 80s and 90s towards present day's "New" Russia. It's a very interesting, very well written story. Thumbs up!

Why stock options are bad for a business, according to Jeremy Goldstein
The use of stock options is a corporate compensation method. It has been applied for many years but is slowly coming down. It is no longer the method of compensation that it was. It is becoming riskier for businesses to apply it. Companies claim to be improving their capacity to save more money. It is one of the reasons that it has been coming down, but it is not the only reason. There are other reasons why this happening. Jeremy Goldstein is a lawyer who has been helping business corporations to deal with the issue of workers' compensation. He has given more information about stock options.
First of all, let us look at the disadvantages of the stocks options. Stock options are not good for any business or its employees. Many issues have been associated with them which qualify them as one of the compensation methods that are outdated. Stock options are dependent on the performance of the company. If a company fails, stock options also fail. This means that employees lose their stock options. With economic depressions at an all-time high, employees are never sure if they will reap the benefits of stock options. It is very easy for one to lose them when a company fails.
Another reason is that stock options have far-reaching effects if they fail. They will affect even the shareholders of a company in a scenario known as options overhang. It is possible for a company to lose even its shareholders.
The use of EPS
Good alternative to the stock options is the Earning per Share (EPS). EPS is a performance-based system of workers' compensation. It is a strategy that can ensure the company applies an effective system of giving out incentives to its workers. EPS, according to NY lawyer Jeremy Goldstein can help businesses run successfully. When the productivity of the workers determines the incentive, there will be equity, and the workers will be motivated to put more effort in their work as a way of getting higher pay.
Jeremy Goldstein adds that although the method is effective, there are those who oppose it since they regard it as a method that creates loopholes in the corporate sector for CEO to carry out favoritism and also dupe shareholders by creating a wrong impression about the stock value. EPS are therefore vulnerable to misuse by rogue business executives. Learn more: https://twitter.com/jeremy_gold1

We are not Nutella consumers here. Yes it does taste delicious,let's face it, but we never buy it. Once in a while,we have some carob paste at home,which is delicious and much more healthier.
The recipe of this home-made Nutella sounds interesting with cacao bits and espresso powder. And I really like the way she decorated the jar label.Isn't it gorgeous?

It's getting so you can't believe anything emanating from America, if you ever could.
There can no longer be any doubt about the existence of Prism, if indeed there ever was.
Nor can there be any doubt about the veracity of Ed Snowden, the American whistleblower who first revealed the scope of the US spy system which has been plumbing the depths of treachery not only among its own citizens, but also governments and agencies around the world which've been haplessly supporting the US in both words and actions.
And this is being done behalf of Barack Obama, the former great White Hope of Democracy, if you'll pardon the expression.
I'm just this old guy in Canada with a blog, but I've been nauseated by the twists and turns of the Bush and Obama administrations as they lie their ways through an ever deepening morass of perfidy.
First it was George 'Dubaya' Bush and his weapons of mass destruction and threats of 'tourists' (known to the rest of us as 'terrorists') wreaking havoc on a helpless world with only the US to save it from destruction.
Now Al Qaeda 'tourism' is rearing its head again.
And I thought we, or rather, the US, had dealt with that when it's warriors slaughtered
Osama bin Laden.
Now, in the latest installment, according to the New York Times, "The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the continued potential for terrorist attacks, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, and possibly occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula," read the bulletin, by the State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs.
"Current information suggests that Al Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August."
"The bulletin did not advise against travel to any particular country, but it admonished American citizens to be particularly mindful of their surroundings, especially in tourist areas, and recommended that they register their travel plans with the State Department.
"Terrorists may elect to use a variety of means and weapons and target both official and private interests," the bulletin said. "U.S. citizens are reminded of the potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems and other tourist infrastructure. Terrorists have targeted and attacked subway and rail systems, as well as aviation and maritime services."
Stay tuned for something similar from the Harper Boyz?

I rang my Bank this morning - for an account enquiry. I dialed with trepidation and I was hoping for some human contact. The machine voice asked me to press 'one' for English. Then the # button. I was then instructed to input my sixteen-digit account number. Sixteen digits! Then the # button. The machine lady then asked me to input my six-digit telephone banking code. Then the # button.
I was prepared.
I did what I was told.
The next few minutes were frantic. They were electric.
I was then sent into a number selecting frenzy. I picked option three. Internet Banking enquiry. Then the # button. Option two. Overseas transfers. Then the # button. Option four. Payment not recorded. Then the # button. Then I waited.
I persevered.
I was patient.
Music then played. Dreadful music. I intermittently received a recorded message. The voice was male.
It was commanding.
It was soothing.
It said "Your call important to us. All of our customer services officers are currently busy at the moment. Please hold and we will transfer your call as soon as one is available".
I persisted. Every three minutes the recorded message was repeated. I know this because I timed it. One hundred and eighty seconds. Eleven times. Thirty-three minutes. My patience had eroded. I was riled.
Eventually I heard a human voice and I was momentarily elated.
"How can I address you?" was the opening line.
"I am Peter" I replied.
"May I call you Mr. Peter?" was the next polite enquiry.
"You may" I responded.
"It is my name".
"May I ask for yours?" I requested.
There was a pause. A deliberation. There was some palpable hesitation.
Eventually, "My name is Rajesh" was uttered.
"Before we proceed," said Rajesh,
"I will be needing to ask you some security questions".
'I understand" I retorted.
"I will need to be asking some myself".
"May I have your full name Mr. Peter?"
"May I have yours first please Mr. Rajesh?"
Remember, I had been waiting for thirty-three minutes. I was lost in the machine and I craved communication. There was a silence.
It was deafening.
"Are you there Mr. Rajesh?" I enquired.
"Can you hear me?"
Rajesh's voice was hesitant. He replied "My name is Rajesh Adapa Ailani Polhuru"
I asked him to spell it as I wrote it down. I then gave him my name. He asked me to spell it. I assume he entered it into a computer. I could hear the keyboard clicking.
Data was being entered.
"Now I will be needing your date of birth," asked Rajesh.
"But first I will be needing yours" I rebutted.
"But why" Rajesh asked. I could hear the anxiety in his voice.
"Security" I responded.
"I need to know that you are who you say you are"
We swapped dates of birth. Rajesh did so less willingly than me. For the record, he is a Virgo - I am an Aries.
"I have one more question Mr. Peter," said Rajesh.
There was a tremor in his voice. I could feel his distress. I could taste his fear.
"Me too. Mr. Rajesh". I asserted.
"Me too."
"I am needing the maiden name of your mother Mr. Peter", he whispered.
"Please sir. Do not be asking mine"
"But I must Mr. Rajesh" I demanded.
"I simply must"
I thought I heard a wail before I was disconnected. Despite my enquiry going unanswered I felt a perverse sense of satisfaction.

It's long been federal policy that you may deduct partial days off from an exempt's accrued leave time without jeopardizing that status, because partial-day deductions from accrued leave banks aren't the same as partial-day deductions from pay, which could throw that status into doubt. Does the result change if you overlay a state wage payment law that categorizes accrued vacation as nonforfeitable wages? No, according to a California appeals court, which confirmed the federal rule that partial-day deductions from accrued leave don't convert an exempt employee into an overtime-eligible nonexempt. (Rhea v. General Atomics, 227 Cal.App.4th 1560, 2014)

Article in "American Handgunner" by Sammy Reese | Click her to see actual article (3mb jpeg) with images!
The word master is put in front of other words to describe those who have reached the pinnacle of their chosen profession. In my quest to find a word exceeding the master label, I had to go Don King and make one up to describe Bob Mernickle. "Fanister": meaning a master who is fanatical in his pursuit of perfection.
When you talk with Bob you'll need to take notes and have your Canadian-to-English dictionary handy. It takes less than a minute to realize Bob is fanatical in his pursuit of perfection and he's not shy about telling you of his quest for perfection in all aspects of holster building. In Bob's case, I'd go a step further and call his concealed carry system engineered rather than built.
Bob refers to perfecting the system as a quest/obsession to make the most concealable carry system on the market. I believe he's done it. Bob admits it took a few variants to get the design where it is today. The high ride configuration, once properly placed on the belt, stays locked into place as if bolted there and conceals even large handguns like they were derringers. The draw takes some practice, but once mastered it's smooth and fast.
Bob sent three different holsters, one for the Glock 23 and two for the 1911. One of the 1911 systems is Bob's personal hand-carved rig. If a picture is worth a thousand words, holding it in your hands and absorbing the feel of this hand-carved masterpiece is worth 10,000. Sadly, a picture really doesn't do it justice. I had to promise on a stack of Bibles I'd send it back after photography. I was tempted to come up with a fairytale of how it was taken hostage by holster terrorists--the flaw in my plan would be when Bob would catch me wearing it.
After wearing the system for a few weeks of daily carry and a few trips to the range, I showed it to a friend of mine who works for one of those "special" agencies. Since his job requires carrying a gun all the time he asked to try it out. I knew there was good chance I'd never see it again, but he's a friend and he actually goes to bad places where usually more than one gun on your person is the rule, not the exception.
I received an e-mail from him a few days ago, "I've used the holster system every day wearing suits and cover-up shirts. I've been on my feet 18 hours a day, seated in cars and on airplanes for really long periods of time. I don't forget it's there--but it's comfortable and I can get to it faster than any other holster I've ever carried." He didn't have to say he was keeping it. I've known him long enough to know I'd have to sneak into his house at great peril to retrieve it. It's a thought--it might be worth it--we haven't had a good SWAT mission in a while.

Hi Bob,
I received your western rig yesterday, HW1REF1. It is a work of art. The leather and hardware are impeccable. I cannot get over the quality of the work ! It is a truly beautiful rig. Hard to believe such a heavy duty leather rig can be turned into something that looks this great! You and your gang are truly among the very best at your craft. Love your attention to detail. The special hardware was worth the expense and really add to the overall appearance. If the Lone Ranger was real, Im sure he would get his rig from you, LOL. Thank you and all involved for the great craftsmanship and great customer service. You will be getting more orders from me as time goes by. All the best.
Semper Fi,

Dear Mernickle Family,
Last year I bought a holster (PS-6SA) for a 6" Freedom Arms model 83. Your design is definitly one-of-a-kind. For the first time, I have a holster that is comfortable to wear (It feels like it's not even on).. I liked it so much that I bought another one for a Ruger Blackhawk and it came as a surprise because it arrived sooner than expected and the quality is once again unsurpassed! I feel that my great grandchildren will get alot of use out of it-P.S. I'm 35years old and my oldest child is 5 years old!!
Thanks Again I'll call again soon!!
Matt R.
Model: SH5
I received my SH5 Ref 1 with cuff attachment last week, and my black dress belt today. What wonderful workmanship! This is sturdy stuff. It's just amazing to me that I can get custom-made leather at prices competitive with mass-produced gear already in the can. All I have to do is just wait. And, the wait is not bad.
I've had the new PS6SOB since last year (I guess I was one of your guinea pigs), and it's holding up as if it's still brand new and tight. No flop for something riding that high? It's like magic. That is why I ordered again.
Thanks for the wonderful phone-ordering experiences provided by Pat, the first time and Amy, the second.
There's a hundred-plus other cops I work with in my department, and several more I'm in contact with throughout my county. I will do my best to make sure they come to know your product and your service, for your recognition is well-deserved.
If you need this for a testimonial, go ahead. It's only the truth.
Thanks again.

I have made a little discovery, which is probably old news for some of you. We had a problem with our en suite shower, which a new shower head didn't solve. The plumber mentioned a new or an extra pump. As we are renting the house, this is nothing we have to worry about but let's just say I was intrigued. Suddenly I was thrown into a bathroom world I had no idea even existed. On the website of Mira Showers I came across digital showers. A digital shower with buttons to increase or decrease the temperature and flow, that even warms up while you're still snoozing? Shower pumps? Where has this been all my life?
Maybe I simply haven't noticed this in interior magazines. For about 6-7 years I haven't done any bathroom renovations, and I must admit that when I'm reading these magazines I tend to skip articles with images that look too modern for my taste (usually such images are used to introduce the latest bathroom equipment). In bathroom design I go for the warm look and I need some wood - no spaceship looking bathrooms for me!
All this made me think that if a warm, old-look style is what you are after there is no need to sacrifice modern comfort in your bathroom:
• You can still design it the way you want it and let the latest technology work to your advantage, without your bathroom looking cold or sterile.
• Basically, it's only a question of finding the right colour palette (soft, muted tones) and materials (wood, tiles), and a solution to hide or keep the focus away from any equipment that looks too modern, if nothing else is available.
• Don't be afraid to choose wood flooring. In fact, I believe wood flooring is underrated in bathroom design. (I once had wooden floorboards and I loved it.)
• If it's a small bathroom, think of installing a sliding door to get the most out of the space.
The bathroom in the photo above once belonged to Jenna Lyons of J.Crew. It was the en suite one in her former Brooklyn townhouse. I think the herringbone wood flooring gives it such a character. I also like the use of neutral colours and the exposed shower pipe gets my consent.
If that shower room upstairs were mine I would use this opportunity to transform the space with old-style wooden floorboards, concrete-something, a dark colour on the walls - perhaps black and one earthy plaster wall as in Jenna's old bathroom - and definitely a digital shower.

|Review: Absu - The Third Storm Of Cythraul
|The Third Storm Of Cythraul
Label: Osmose Productions
Year released: 1997
Duration: 37:41
Tracks: 9
Genre: Black Metal
Rating: 4/5
Review online: June 11, 2005
Reviewed by: Chaossphere
for:The Third Storm Of Cythraul
Rated 4.11/5 (82.16%) (37 Votes)
For some bizarre reason, this seems to be a overlooked album in Absu's discography. Many fellate the intensely fast Tara, or the epic The Sun Of Tiphareth while ignoring the rest of their output. Granted, the first album was a somewhat dull excursion into early Darkthrone worship (and by early I mean the demo's and Soulside Journey), but afterwards they released a string of masterpieces, and there's certainly no reason to exclude The Third Storm Of Cythraul from those. Essentially it's a transitional album between the epic, warlike black metal of The Sun… and the more intense thrashings of Tara. A warm, analog production helps the album to effectively recreate the obvious 80's feel the band were going for here, and while the drumming isn't as snappy as it ended up on Tara, Proscriptor still lays waste to all in his path with a constant barrage of snare pounding and insane fills. Guitars, meanwhile, are a tour-de-force of insane thrashing punctuated by tremolo abuse and wild, chaotic solos. This is far more blatantly METAL than the melodic ambience so typical of black metal at the time , another factor which makes Absu so ahead of their time (despite being unashamedly retro, of course).
The songwriting wildly veers between grandiose epics (the first and last tracks in particular) and short, punchy Kreator-on-laudanum face-rippers, the absolute highlights of those being "Swords and Leather" and "Highland Tyrant Attack", both of which are modern thrash classics. There's also a brief cover of Morbid Scream's eponymous song, this being the band's second Morbid Scream cover (the first being ""The Coming Of War" on The Sun of Tiphareth, although that one was greatly reworked so much as to become closer to an original song). It's certainly better than hearing yet another damn cover of Kreator, Sodom or Bathory like every other band whips out these days, and really I'd prefer if many more modern black/thrash bands focused on dredging up totally obscure stuff to cover, as Absu have done here. Winding things up we get a few snatches of acoustics, sandwiched between which is the album's absolute highlight "…Of Celtic Fire We Are Born", which is simply a stunning epic which sounds like a natural follow-up to "Apzu". This being the first of the band's trilogy of albums based on Celtic mythology (the In The Eyes of Ioldanach mCD and Tara being the other two), the overall concept is very much rooted in a bizarre mix of ancient Druidish texts and Occult scenarios. None of it makes a hell of a lot of sense, but I'm sure they had a blast writing it all.
The digipak version also includes a bonus track with a ludicrously convoluted title, which seems to be a leftover from The Sun Of Tiphareth, since its production and songwritings sounds a lot more like the thin, cavernous approach of that album than the analog thickness of Third Storm. But that's neither here nor there since this version is long sold-out, but it's worth mentioning since it's a killer track. Too bad they didn't just include it on The Sun… though, because it deserves to be heard by all Absu fanatics, not confined to a limited edition release.

As veteran kick returner Devin Hester gets ready to hit the open market for the first time in his career, he'll have some competition.
Per a league source, the Broncos have opted not to apply a restricted free agency tender to Trindon Holliday. It means that he'll become a free agent on March 11.
Holliday, listed at five feet, five inches tall, returned 28 kickoffs in 2013, generating an average of 27.7 yards per attempt in 2013, including a 105-yard touchdown return. He also returned 32 punts, with an average of 8.5 yards and an 81-yard score.
He has four total regular-season return touchdowns in his career. Holliday racked up two in the same postseason game in January 2013, with a 90-yard punt return and a 104-yard kickoff return against the Ravens.
Holliday had the distinction of being undefeated in the 2012 regular season. He played for the 5-0 Texans. Houston then waived him, and the Broncos were 11-0 with Holliday on the roster.
The minimum tender for a restricted free agent is $1.323 million, guaranteeing a right to match any offer received by the player but no compensation if the offer sheet isn't matched. The Broncos could still try to re-sign Holliday at a lower amount.

Judge John M. Cheney would have been proud of Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer at the recent SunRail Commission meeting.
Judge who?
At the turn of the 20th Century Judge Cheney's family owned the Orlando Water & Light Co.
Over time the privately owned company encountered problems providing services to a growing Orlando -- barely 10,000 residents by 1920.
Cheney recognized that his family didn't have the resources to meet the demand. So he made the audacious proposal for the community to take over the water and electric plant and grow it.
Cheney and other civic leaders vigorously campaigned to pass a $975,000 bond issue to buy the utility. That sum was eye popping back in those days.
Certainly some people thought the idea was risky. It was risky, but also worth pursuing.
Fortunately, Cheney and his colleagues prevailed. The bond money purchased the water and electric plant for $600,000, and also provided money to make the capital investments needed to keep growing that utility company – now known as the Orlando Utilities Commission – into the second largest municipal utility in Florida.
What if Cheney lacked the courage or vision to make the proposal? What would Orlando be like today?
At the recent SunRail Commission meeting Mayor Dyer must have been channeling the spirit of Judge Cheney when he suggested the SunRail Commission take over management of commuter train now and not wait until 2021 when state dollars for SunRail run out and the train becomes the financial responsibility of local government.
What many people may not realize is SunRail is run by the Florida Department of Transportation, not the SunRail Commission of local elected leaders. For all we know, Florida Gov. Rick Scott (a proven passenger rail enemy) may have personally made the decisions that prevent SunRail from reaching its full potential to provide convenient service to our community.
Dyer explained the rationale behind his proposal is for local leaders to get a feel for what it takes to run a passenger railroad before FDOT walks away in 5 years.
Dyer's suggestion received a warm reception from fellow SunRail Commission member Osceola County Commission Chairwoman Viviana Janer, a passionate advocate of public transit.
The other two commission members present – Seminole County Commission Member Carlton Henley and Volusia County Council Member Pat Patterson – sent mixed messages when they responded to Dyer's suggestion with a barrage of confusing questions and comments. Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs didn't attend the meeting.
We support Dyer's proposal. We also urge local leaders to accelerate discussions to consolidate SunRail and LYNX into a seamless and dynamic public transit system.
Bringing SunRail under local control will make it easier for us – the riders and residents – to shape SunRail into the passenger rail service that meets the needs and expectations of our community.
To be sure, we have disagreed with Dyer on issues in the past, but we are delighted with his SunRail proposal.
Just as in the days of Judge Cheney, it takes leaders with vision and courage to get important work done and to improve our community.

Answer to Problem 2.8
- ISBN is generally good if you are dealing with books published relatively recently
- VIN is generally good if you are dealing with recently manufactured cars
- Student ID is good. Uniqname is probably also okay, but there are privacy issues with this.
- Probably some generated id number. Address wouldn't be good because addresses can change.
- Name of the color.

ProCook try T'n'T
Based at the character Hatherley Manor Hotel, forty ProCook Managers and staff undertook an indoor Training and Teamwork session entitled "how to work in small teams". The training, run by Paul Harraway, initially asked individuals to fill in a short DISC questionnaire to ascertain their "team" personality. Paul went through; "the individual in a team" and "working as a team". The Re-energize team supported the theory with energizers to get the teams communicating and working together plus longer, more involved exercises improving their planning and communication. The event finished with Paul outlining the DISC profiling and how to be effective when working in small teams.
Alder King clued in
As part of their 100 year anniversary celebrations Alder King asked Re-energize to provide a team event at Tortworth Court, Bristol. After considering several options a clue trail was selected to enable all 130 Partners and Staff to be involved. A clue trail with a difference though, involving not only clues within the hotel and grounds, but sections involving all the team in logic tasks and team exercises including Spider's Web, Grid & Shelves and Pyramid. The teams had to tackle the tasks as quickly as they could to earn maximum points within the 2 hours time limit. After the event Beccy Bell commented "Just a quick note to thank you and all of your team for a great event on Friday afternoon. Everyone enjoyed it immensely."

Since 1955 the Documenta, an international exhibition of modern and contemporary art, has been held regularly in Kassel. The Documenta now takes place every 5 years and the next Documenta 14 will be in 10.6.- 17.9.2017!

Live here, work anywhere
Burlington (and Vermont) is home to an increasing number of "remote workers" -- folks who live here and use technology to work anywhere in the world. For executives, professionals, developers, designers, analysts, freelancers, and others, remote work provides great new job opportunities. In the 21st century digital economy, more companies are working with globally distributed teams and, in fact, many companies are now are "location independent", with no headquarters.
This meetup group is a great place to collaborate face to face and compare notes, for both remote workers and our companies that are working with distributed teams.

Create A Spa at Home with BV Spa
I've been sent a number of products in my time as a beauty blogger. Some things I've liked and others, well they weren't anything to write home about. That's why these products I received from BV Spa by Bon Vital have completely thrown me for a loop. They are so great, seriously, amazing.
I received 4 items ahead of the Canadian launch and the were all in the Lavender & Rosemary scent. The items were body lotion, sugar scrub, salt scrub and a body butter. I LOVE the scent so much as it truly makes me feel like I'm in a spa when I use them. (Lavender has always been my go-to fragrance of choice when visiting a spa).
The body is BY FAR my favorite of the moisturizers. Body lotion, I find, is too thin for my skin and my skin never feels quite hydrated. The body butter, though, is thick, luxurious and slightly greasy, making it the perfect cream to use after a shower or a tub. It's my favorite night-time moisturizer.
What surprised me the most were the scrubs. I've used sugar scrubs for years and am so familiar with the grittiness and moisturizing effects BUT the salt scrub is something that's new for me.
The left is the sugar scrub and right is the salt scrub. From the picture, you can see that they are almost identical in appearance. However, the similarities end here. First, the salt scrub actually smells quite salty (yes, I know, obvious) but the way it makes your skin tingle is a very new effect for me. Plus, as we all know, salt on your skin removes impurities and buffs your skin to create a different type of glow. I have truly been converted. My skin has never been as smooth and, after using the scrub with the body butter, I feel like a whole new person.
Best part about this line is it's to be sold at Shoppers Drug Mart which means no ordering online!! Woohoo. You all have to run out and grab this salt scrub, at the very least.

Saturday 8th January 2011, 11:30AM GMT.
Mid Wales doctor who was suspended from the medical register for a
year because of the potential risk she posed to patients has had the
order lifted by the General Medical Council.
The GMC this week lifted Dr Sarah Myhill's suspension and restored her
licence to practise medicine, subject to conditions.
The former NHS GP, who specialises in treating people with chronic
fatigue syndrome, today said she was "delighted" by the U-turn.
Dr Myhill, 52 and based in Llangunllo, near Knighton, was suspended by
the GMC in October last year. She was alleged to have provided
"inappropriate" treatment to a patient in 2009 after she recommended
vitamin and magnesium injections for suspected chronic fatigue

Views in Mysore. Bailoor Temple [Chennakeshava Temple, Belur]. Detail of carvings on north façade of tower
Photographer: Lyon, Edmund David
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1868
Photograph from an album of 40 albumen prints by Edmund David Lyon. Belur, a small town on the banks of the Yagachi in the Hassan district of Karnataka, was the capital of the Hoysalas in the 11th and 12th centuries, before they shifted to Halebid. The Chennakeshava temple at Belur is considered one of the finest examples of early Hoysala architecture. It was built in 1117 AD by King Vishnuvardhana to mark his independence from the powerful Chalukyas and his defeat of the Cholas at Talakad. Lyon's 'Notes to Accompany a Series of Photographs Prepared to Illustrate the Ancient Architecture of Southern India'
(Marion & Co., London, 1870), edited by James Fergusson, gives the following description of this photograph: 'It shows in detail the whole northern façade of the base of the tower, the third small pavilion, and the projecting angle of the great porch on the left hand. It shows also the lower part of the pyramid, but this has been so frequently and so coarsely whitewashed, that it is now sadly in disaccord with its base, as is also the rough stone porch seen below, which it need hardly be said is a modern addition. The subjects of all these sculptures are easily recognisable as the Avatars of Vishnu, or scenes from legends connected with his religion, but which have seldom been so beautifully represented as in this place. In fact, whether we look to its form and its completeness, or to the exquisite finish of its detail, this temple is, as a whole, perhaps the most perfect and beautiful example of its style. It is not so large as that at Hallabeed, which comes next in this series, nor is the material equal to that of the contemporary white marble temples at Mount Abu, but on a whole, it is a gem which, so far as are yet known, is unrivalled in India.'

|HR 54 running today at Carlisle
It was a busy running day today on the CD0GG layout in Carlisle and the best I could manage was a picture of the engine in the sidings waiting with a train of a dozen coal empties and a guards van, which when her turn came on the layout she pulled effortlessly, running remarkably smoothly and taking the points, crossings and the odd irregularity in the track in her stride, I must say that I was very pleased. The coal wagons were built by Peter Whiteside from Kendal, a skilled modeller in a group which is remarkable for the number of talented model makers it has attracted to its membership. It was remarked that the next stage, painting that is, would spoil what was in fact a piece of sculpture in nickel silver... nevertheless the paint shop will indeed be the next stage and I hope fairly soon to carry the project through to a finish and that HR54 will emerge resplendent in the HR's green Drummond II livery.
