BARLEY, Henry (1487-1529), of Albury, Herts.
Available from Boydell and Brewer
Family and Education
b. 1487, 1st s. of William Barley of Albury by Elizabeth, da. of Sir Robert Darcy of Danbury, Essex. educ.?M. Temple, adm. 3 Feb. 1511. m. (1) Elizabeth (d. bef. 1517), da. and coh. of John Northwood of Northwood in Milton, Kent, at least 1s.; (2) Anne; (3) Anne, da. of Edward Jerningham of Somerleyton, Suff., wid. of Lord Edward Grey (d. by 1517) and ?of one Berkeley; 1s. 3da. suc. fa. 17 Mar. 1522.2
Offices Held
Commr. gaol delivery, Herts. 1516, subsidy 1523, 1524; j.p. 1521-d., Essex 1528-d.; sheriff, Essex and Herts. 1523-4.3
The Barley family was an old-established one in Hertfordshire which probably took its name from the village on the border of that county and Cambridgeshire; it also owned considerable land in Essex. Henry Barley's father, attainted of treason in 1495 for his support of Perkin Warbeck, had been pardoned three years later and in 1501 had recovered the family lands; chief among these were the manors of Albury, Hertfordshire and Layer Breton, Essex.4
The Barley who, when admitted to the Middle Temple in February 1511, gave a hogshead of wine and was excused the performance of most of the inn's minor offices, was probably a gentleman rather than a budding lawyer: he is mentioned only twice more in the inn's records. The earliest certain references to Henry Barley record his appointments to county offices and his pardon in 1517 for the earlier unlicensed acquisition of a Wiltshire manor jointly with his first wife. His father died in March 1522, and the lands to which Barley then succeeded were valued eight years later at over £90 a year; in addition he had a life interest in his first wife's lands in Hampshire, Kent and Wiltshire. He was rated one of Hertfordshire's wealthiest men, for his payment of £5 in anticipation of the subsidy of 1524 was equalled by few and exceeded by only one, Sir Philip Butler, of his fellow-gentlemen in the shire.5
Apart from the record of his lands and offices, and his will, the only information about Barley comes from a Star Chamber case; of unknown date, it was certainly begun before 1522, for Barley and his father were joint defendants. The plaintiff, the rector of Albury, Henry Davy, charged the Barleys inter alia with assault, malicious prosecution, theft of a missal and a church bell, obstruction of a public footpath and appropriation of glebe land. The case seems to have been the culmination of a series of disputes conducted in different courts. The rector had already had the Barleys bound over in the King's bench to keep the peace towards him; they, in turn, had sued him for slander in the spiritual court, but Davy had challenged the verdict with an appeal to Rome. In the surviving pleadings Barley and his father denied some of the charges but justified a number of the actions complained of. They alleged that Davy had used the right of way claimed by him through Albury park for the purpose of illicit resort to the wife of a parishioner and added, among other legally irrelevant but interesting facts, that the husband had once surprised the rector in flagrante delicto and had compelled him to hush up the affair by a payment of 40s. 'for saving of his honesty'. Perhaps it was William Barley's repetition of such stories that provoked the rector to tell him 'that though his body was on earth and in life his soul was with the devil and his body should go after'. Whose version the court accepted is not known.6
If the Barleys' part in this litigation reflected their general anti-clericalism, Henry Barley's return to the Parliament of 1529 is likely to have pleased the King and may even have owed something to him, as other elections in

Diapers. They are one of the first decisions that you have to make as a mom, and also one of the most important. The options out there these days are endless, and the advertisements are often littered with mom guilt. (If you love your baby, you would choose THESE diapers... If you are a smart mom, you would choose THESE diapers... you know what I mean!) However, when you become a mom, you quickly learn what is best for your baby,and for my baby, the pricey, expensive name brand diapers were NOT the best choice!
We recently got the chance to check out a line of diapers I had never heard of before. They are called Well Beginnings and they are available at Walgreens stores nationwide, which, if you are like me, means everywhere, since we have a Walgreens on every corner here in Kentucky! I have to say, I was extremely impressed with Well Beginnings! These diapers are as good, if not better, than pricier brands that we have tried in the past!
I absolutely love the designs, they are adorable! What's not to love when you're putting elephants on your baby's bottom!?!? I love the fact that Well Beginnings Diapers were specifically designed to meet the needs of active babies... I have always had active babies, and believe me, you can TELL which diapers were designed for movers and shakers, and which were designed for little ones who lay around all day! (NOT my kids!)
Like I mentioned before, these diapers are at least as good, if not better, than alternatives we have tried in the past! I really wish I would have known about Well Beginnings when my boys were smaller! There have been NO leak accidents in these diapers, you can definitely tell that they are designed with anti-leakage protection! I absolutely love them, and I think they were really made with the comfort of babies in mind. The inner liner is soft, and made with hypoallergenic ingredients, including aloe, vitamin E, and natural botanicals. I like when a company is taking my concerns as a mom seriously, and creating a product that moms can feel safe using on their babies.
I have really been impressed with the Well Beginnings line of diapers, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any mommy who is looking for an alternative to the big name brands for her baby. No complaints here! The next time you are in Walgreens (if you are like me, that is at least once a week!!), pick up a pack of Well Beginnings diapers and see the difference for yourself! You will be amazed!
Have you guys ever heard of Well Beginnings Diapers? Would you be willing to try a new brand on your baby? If you have tried Well Beginnings, leave a comment below and tell us what you thought of them, I would love to hear your feedback!!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Well Beginnings.

An abandoned Doctor Who classic is brought to life in this brand new animation, starring Tom Baker and written by Douglas Adams.
Tom Baker returns as the Fourth Doctor in this never before seen Doctor Who treasure, combining original live-action footage with hand-drawn animation.In 1979, Shada was set to be the celebratory end to the 17th series of Doctor Who. Critically acclaimed writer Douglas Adams had completed the script, Tom Baker's Doctor was at the height of his popularity, and the series had bigger audiences than ever before. But strike action at the BBC in November 1979, meant the studio scenes were never completed and the adventure was abandoned. The story became legendary among fans.Now, 38 years on, BBC Worldwide has announced that Shada, is to finally be completed, combining the original, remastered footage, with brand new colour animation to complete the story. The animation will feature the newly-recorded voices of the original cast, including Tom Baker as the Doctor and Lalla Ward as Romana, performing the original script. Shada will be released in Cinemas from November 24.Tom Baker says, "Shada was one of my favourite Doctor Who stories. I have many fond memories of shooting the location scenes in Cambridge, and it was disappointing not to finish the story in studio. I'm so glad that BBC Worldwide have found a way to bring fans a complete visual version."LIMITED SCREENINGS: LUNA LEEDERVILLE + LUNA ON SX SAT 25 & SUN 26 NOV AT 1.00PM. All Tickets $20

The Young Women's Empowerment Project
Heather and Dan on How It Gets Better
In hindsight, I knew when I was around ten or eleven that I was queer: that I had and was experiencing growing sexual and romantic feelings for people of all genders, not just those of one of for those of a different sex or gender than me, feelings I'd continue to have throughout my teen years and my adult life to date. I didn't have the language for it then, though, even though there were queer adults in my orbit I could have gotten it from, adults I naturally gravitated towards without realizing a big part of why was because I saw myself in them and I really needed them.
Was it sexual harassment? Was it my fault?
Is it consider sexual harassment if some guy fingered my vagina, but I didn't want him to...I'm now 17 and this happened when I was 13, I haven't told anyone about this...I wanna know if it's my fault that this happened. We were on a bus and this guy undid my pants and fingered me. I didn't want it to happen, but I was too scared to stop him. Is it my fault?...
Building Bridges: Sexual Orientation Shifts
Time for another installment of Building Bridges, where we facilitate, then publish a conversation between two people in different life stages who have something with gender, sexuality and/or relationships in common. This time, our intergenerational pair is two women who have had their sexual orientation and identity shift for them during the course of their lives.
Why can't I stop being so scared of pregnancy?
I have a problem, and I'm ready to crack with the stress of it. I've been on birth control (Yaz) for a year, to help with my acne, though I don't always take it at the same time every day. Sometimes I've missed pills or taken them over 12 hours late. That shouldn't really matter, though, because I'm not sexually active. My boyfriend and I have decided to wait until we get married to have sex....
We did everything for it to go just right... but it didn't.
My girlfriend and I are both non-op transsexuals; (i.e., she's MtF, I'm FtM, and we haven't had "the surgery" and don't intend to.) On a visit with her a little while ago, she and I were sitting in her car and talking about our feelings regarding sex....
I'm her one and only...and I don't think that's a good thing.
My friend wants to be in a relationship with me, but I am afraid to because I am her only means of support (that's not me being full of myself, she's actually said that) and if things were to turn sour I have two parents and countless friends and trusted adults whom I have no problems talking to, whereas she would have no one to talk to, me being her only confidant, and she can't very well talk to...
Building Bridges: Childhood Sexual Abuse
We hear a lot about generational divides. What we hear much less about are the bridges: how people of different generations can and do connect; how we can support and help one another and each offer the other things of great value.
Did I have sex? Did I lose my virginity?
I'm 14. My boyfriend rubbed his penis on my vulva and I rubbed my vagina on his penis, but we were both wearing our underwear. Am I still a virgin? Was it sex? I don't even know what it was... I don't want to lose my virginity at such a young age! I hope I didn't lose my virginity to him! Can someone please tell me?...
Is he gay? and other questions that hinder a coming-out party.
I guess I'll just jump right in to it! My boyfriend recently broke up with me, and confided in me that it was because lately, he's been seriously questioning his sexuality. I completely support him, I still care about him, and I want to help him find out, because I can't stand seeing him so confused and helpless (that's what he said he felt like). So problem #1 is, how can I be there for him?...

Re: Engine List
Years ago, I asked JC Stanley that same question, but about all aircraft motors. He told me (and I am paraphrasing) they are all good if they are in good shape.
The more I think about that statement, the more wisdom I see in it.

Former dairy farmers Thérèse Choinière and Mario Mailloux decided to put their 250-acre Granby farm to good use by sharing it with everyone. And so they created Verger Champêtre. What sets them apart? The farm is certified by Terroir et Saveurs, (the Quebec Federation of Agrotourism); it is also an interpretive centre with an interactive museum, with replicas and stunning scenery, which explains the realities of farm life to children; a small on-site school also presents art workshops for kids. Finally, you'll find a nice shop selling pâtés, soups, pickles, jams, pies, homemade sausages, farm-raised meat, gift baskets, and more!

Arnold Schwarzenegger comeback flops at box office as `The Last Stand` rakes in only USD 1.9m
The movie stars the former 65-year-old California governor as a sheriff in a sleepy Arizona town in his first leading film role in nearly a decade. According to estimates by Deadline, 'The Last Stand' earned a paltry 1.9 million dollars on Friday, the Daily Mail reported.
Studio executives no doubt expected a better box office performance from the Hollywood heavyweight, who had his first leading role since 2003's 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.'
The movie also stars Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker and Johnny Knoxville, of MTV's 'Jackass' fame. Many critics said that Schwarzenegger's performance of Sheriff Ray Owens falls flat in the film.
According to Variety, the Governator looks 'at once blankly inexpressive and doggedly determined' making a 'creaky but reasonably commercial comeback bid.' The showbiz publication branded the movie itself as ''predictable,'' with ''cartoonish'' action.
The Hollywood Reporter slammed the 'conspicuously tasteless' use of a school bus in one of the movie's violent scenes, but draws comparison of Schwarzenegger's role as that of Clint Eastwood in the early 1990s - an aging man who is still physically capable when need be.

Al-Maliki: U.S. can leave 'any time'
Sun., July 15, 2007
BAGHDAD – Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki shrugged off U.S. doubts of his government's military and political progress on Saturday, saying Iraqi forces are capable and American troops can leave "any time they want."
Al-Maliki sought to display confidence at a time when pressure is mounting in Congress for a speedy withdrawal of U.S. forces. On Thursday, the House passed a measure calling for the U.S. to withdraw its troops by spring, hours after the White House reported mixed progress by the Iraqi government toward meeting 18 benchmarks.
During a press conference, al-Maliki shrugged off the progress report, saying that difficulty in enacting the reforms was "natural" given Iraq's turmoil. "We are not talking about a government in a stable political environment but one in the shadow of huge challenges," he said.
Al-Maliki said his government needs "time and effort" to enact the political reforms that Washington seeks.
But he said if necessary, Iraqi police and soldiers could fill the void left by the departure of coalition forces.
"We say in full confidence that we are able, God willing, to take the responsibility completely in running the security file if the international forces withdraw at any time they want," he said.
One of al-Maliki's close advisers, Shiite lawmaker Hassan al-Suneid, bristled over the U.S. pressure, telling the Associated Press that "the situation looks as if it is an experiment in an American laboratory (judging) whether we succeed or fail."
He sharply criticized the U.S. military, saying it was committing human rights violations and embarrassing the Iraqi government through such tactics as building a wall around Baghdad's Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah and launching repeated raids on suspected Shiite militiamen in the capital's slum of Sadr City.

Raymond moves beyond trucks
The lift truck industry is looking beyond products to solutions
in the NewsQ4 2017 Rail/Intermodal Roundtable: Improvements apparent; work remains The State of the DC Voice Market A "trucker's market" is likely for 2018, says prominent industry analyst Spot market conditions remain in a better than good place, reports DAT NextGen Supply Chain: Time to pay attention to autonomous vehicles More News
This morning, Chuck Pascarelli, president of The Raymond Corporation, told me a story. During a recent visit, his customer explained how a Raymond technician solved a warehousing problem while working on one of the customer's trucks.
"The customer has fans in the warehouse. They were afraid that if there was a fire, the fans would continue to spin and fan the flames," Pascarelli said. "Our technician overheard them and came up with a solution to turn the fan off. My lift truck guy was helping a customer with their fans."
"That's the kind of thing we should be doing for our customers," Pascarelli added.
Earlier this week, Raymond announced a new program called CustomCare that the company says is designed to help customers optimize their warehouse operations and achieve greater throughput, productivity and uptime.
Reading through the bullet points, I saw the range of services and products you would expect to see from a lift truck provider, like fleet optimization and management services, financing, lift truck operating training programs and, of course, trucks.
But what caught my attention was the bullets touting Raymond's ability to consult on broader materials handling issues, like warehouse design. One of the things I've noticed across all materials handling lines in recent years is that we are increasingly moving beyond selling a product – a lift truck, a conveyor, rack – to selling a broader materials handling solution. I asked Pascarelli what this new program says about Raymond's strategy.
"Our dealers have provided solutions beyond the truck for years," he said. "What we wanted to do is take a new approach to the market and ratify what we've been doing informally for a long time."
The idea is that when you look across Raymond's network, you'll find dealers who also provide the gamut of materials handling products and services, such as rack, conveyors and warehouse layout and design. And where one dealer may not have all of the pieces of a solution, another dealer may be able to contribute. "If we have a dealer in Florida who doesn't have someone who is knowledgeable on conveyors, we may be able to partner them with a dealer in New England who does to provide that portion of a solution," said Pascarelli. "Our goal is to provide the right solution for the customer and that should be a solution that extends beyond trucks."
Pascarelli agreed that Raymond's move reflects a broader trend in the materials handling industry. It's beholden to the lift truck industry, as well as others, to get on board. "Our industry is going to be different ten years from now than it is today," he said. "Customers are going to expect more from their suppliers and it's going to come down to who executes better. At Raymond, we want to lead that change."

And here's the newly released trailer for Disney's Bolt.
Bolt Trailer
By Amid Amidi | | 105
Wow Amid! I must commend you on your restraint! But I agree with you; this trailer speaks for itself.
God, I am so bored with 3D human characters that all look the same. I don't know if it's the design, or something that the medium adds but they just look the same. Always the same. Makes me want to bang my head on the table.
But I won't.
Also really don't like the design of the dog but, man, I'm a sucker for an animated canine and there's some really nice movement here and I can't imagine they'd have had an easy time trying to motion capture that stuff. And I love the look of the pigeons. They have a look of their own and that's great. They aren't trying to be 3D versions of 2D design, somewhere I think 3D often falls down on. They are 3D funny-looking pigeons.
But those humans. If someone said to me that they could end 3D animated humans for good but it would mean the whole animation industry would collapse and I'd have to retrain as a bartender or chef or, like, IT guy or something, I'd do it.
Looks..not too shabby. Humans need work as always. but..I'll hold off on giving an actual opinion until I see it ( if I see it )
Well this looks no worse than a million other CG movies and significantly better than many.
Actually, it doesn't look too bad. I may even see it in the theaters. The human character designs look a little odd to me, but other than that, it looks pretty cute. . . . .though I wish Chris Sanders was still on the project. :/ Ah well.
Collective meh. Wacky trio go on a wacky adventure. Well, seems better than space chimps.
Hah Ha HAH!!
Yeah. Whoopee! Hooray for Disney…
That thing looks like a a steaming pile. At least its accurately described as "A new Disney comedy event".
Vintage Season
Haven't we seen that little girl before… in The Incredibles?
Considering how offensive I found the trailers for Chicken Little and Home on the Range this one actually doesn't look half bad and don't forget that Disney has an impeccable ability to make a trailer as "marketable" as possible making the movie seem worse than it actually is.
The trailer for Enchanted made the movie look like a mindless family comedy movie but actually the humor was quite a playful and smart parody of early Disney films. Or how about the highly derivative trailer Dreamworks had for Kung Fu Panda? I mean how many times has the song "Kung Fu Fighting" and "Battle without Honor or Humanity" been used in ironically in a trailer? I still believe Bolt has a chance of being quite good despite the entire Chris Sanders controversy.
Sean D.
I actually thought the trailer looked great- I'm now excited about a movie that I couldn't have cared less about before. Good job Disney Marketing!
Nice choice of images, Amid… for flamebait.
Brandon Cordy
It actually doesn't look that bad. You didn't have to pick the worst-looking frame out of the entire trailer to illustrate the post, though. LOL.
The only thing I'm _really_ mad about are that the Disney folks've managed to rip the Goodfeathers and Rita (if not Runt) off from "Animaniacs" and thought we wouldn't notice. L.
CG kids lately resemble the stop-motion Myerberg/Bunin KINEMINS from the 1950s.
See the Kinemin Green Giant:
I saw the trailer before Wall-E last night.
It looks fun. I liked the hamster.
Judging from the trailer, Bolt seems to have the same self-awareness problem that Buzz Lightyear has at the beginning of ToyStory.
Yeah, I think I actually like what I see here. Okay so the humans look like generic CG humans, sure, but they're also not the stars of the show.
I couldn't help but be a bit disturbed by the hamster dryhumping his ball at the end though. And @Brandon, I noticed the Rita and the Goodfeathers similarities as well.
The Vok
It's clearly not for me, but it looks a lot better than I expected. If there were more bits like "Superbark! Superbark!", I might be up for it, but it looks in general to skew quite young.
That film has a great idea, and lots of funny gags. Too bad it got screwed up with clichéd voice acting and by directing it just like they animate every damn thing.
It definitely doesn't look like the worst film in the world, but I still wish they didn't kick Chris Sanders off the film. His designs & characters looked a lot of fun.
sickboy says
To paraphrase 'Trainspotting's Sickboy: No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it looks all right, it's actually just… shite.
In spite of all the trash spoken here about 'Kung Fu Panda', my wife and I noticed that it had some great moments of character tics that were very well executed, and some refreshingly original experimentation with the nonverbal acting, rather than the five stock facial features you usually see in CG. Now, that kind of artistry only comprised maybe 20% of KFP's total output — but that's 20% more than I think is going to be shown in this picture. Judging from the trailer (GASP,goodlordno), yes, but also trying to project anything interesting or original onto these ciphers… I don't see it happening.
Story – Okay, but needs work
John Travolta as Bolt – Retardishly bad choice
Miley Cyrus – Better as HM, dosent work for animated movies
The trailer itself – It's all right, but not so impressive.
Hey–no fart, burp, or snot jokes (in the trailer at least)!
I'm so not watching this movie…
I hope that when The princess and the frog will do better than the latest 3D efforts something is going to change…for the better
My son and I sat through at least 20 minutes of crap trailers…this was one of them. I've never seen him roll his eyes at so many "new" films.
It got to be a bit of a joke between the two of us…I think that stupid Chihuahua film though was worse the the trailer for Bolt…though even my 11 year old rolled his eyes at Bolt.
Sam Howard
Bizarre that Disney with a zillion dollars couldn't do Rita and Runt and the Goodfeathers better than Warners did over a decade ago for a hell of a lot less. Maybe it's supposed to be an inside nugget. If so, it should've stayed inside.
I definitly agree that the designs are pretty much generic, especially the dog, who's the protagonist, and specially if we remember how Chris Sanders' character was in the earlier concepts… even the text titles are boring in this trailer.
BUT I still find the main idea for the story interesting (TV Vs Real Life), tough it seems to be a kind of "Truman" remake for children. Yet it feels like some (little) of the 'good' thing about the movie remains, and to me it's more appealing than the "Robinsons".
Pedro Nakama
This looks a lot like a film called "Firehouse Dog" that was out last year and flopped.
Mark Morgan
I hate to say this, but the thing that bothers me about this film is the same thing that bothered me about 'A Bug's Life' and 'Cars'. In other words, I've seen this movie before. Cars stole its plot for Doc Hollywood and its ending from Cool Runnings; A Bugs Life stole its plot from the Three Amigos (But then so did Galaxy Quest (And 'The Adventures of Captain Zoom in Outer Space' for that matter)).
This movie looks like its borrowing a lot from Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear character. I'm not saying its going to be bad. I'll probably even see it, but I will say this. For all the hoopla over John Lasseter, I enjoyed 'Lilo and Stitch' a hundred times more than I ever enjoyed Toy Story or any of his other films. I think Chris Sanders is one of the great unsung geniuses of the current animation business and left to his own devices (which will never happen because I'm pretty sure that Satan and the Almighty Snow Demons control Hollywood in a joint partnership that was first set up by Michael Eisner's lawyer's evil twin brother).
Anyway, if Chris were just given half a chance he could one day be as great as the much lauded (and rightfully so) Brad Bird.
And just for the record, even though he is ripping off his own characters, I also get more enjoyment out of Chris's web comic Kiskaloo than I do any of Lasseters films.
P.S. I'm pretty sure I'm misspelling Lasseter and I honestly don't care.
Long Live Chris Sanders! May the nails never fall from his toes!
I think the choice to NOT go with the Chris Sanders designs was truly foolsish. They were rich and warm and fun. These characters are just ugly and generic looking. Yes, there is some good movement but so what? It's a stale lost dog story. Just because photo realism can be (somewhat)acheived with CG, why do the creators of animated films feel the need to exploit those capabilities? Why not, I don't know, do something new?
Hmm… I feel really bad for Mr. Sanders right now.
I'll go and see this. It looks like it could be fun plus my local cinema's got the gimmick of 3d and I'll get to see the new Disney short. However, it looks like the next in a long line of Disney films with a troubled production that wound up just being just kinda O.K. This one's suffering from too many similar ideas – animals running round a city to find a girl called Penny (Oliver and Company), deluded fictional hero (Buzz Lightyear), cat character who thinks she's too smart for said hero, but tags along to help (Rita). I wish Chris Sanders had just been allowed to carry out American Dog without interference. We'd have got something very different plus the unique characters would have made a ton of money in merchandise so everyone would be happy.
Adding to the sense of deja vu is the use of Junkie XL's remix of Elvis' "A Little Less Conversation", which has become modern day lazy musical cue on a par with Yello's "The Race" & "Oh Yeah".
A Bugs Life stole its plot from the Three Amigos
I thought it was a Seven Samurai retelling?
Hmmmnnn. I liked the bit at the beginning, I wouldn't mind seeing an irony-free film about a girl and genetically engineered dog saving the world every once in a while.
matt Tamaru
The audience responded very well to this trailer kids and adults both cracking up.
I love Chris's style though.
I think the fact that there's no things like breakdancing chickens or dinosaurs in this trailer is a good sign. I look forward to seeing it.
Note to designers: Mullets look awful, especially on girls.
I won't enjoy this movie, but I will probably see it in theaters, because my son seemed excited. When it comes to bad kids movies, there are only a few reasons to go – cheap laughs, gluttony for punishment, or parental obligation.
At least there might be a cartoon or something. Didn't someone say a short might preceed the film? I don't remember.
If I was Sanders, I'd be considering suicide right about now.
Benji meets True Lies, or what?
Dog and all humans: UGLY.
Cat and hamster: interesting.
Voices: Thanx for german dubbing, it's hopefully not so over-dramatic.
Story: who cares for story? I want to be entertained, I want to laugh so much that I leave the cinema completely breathless. Any chance for that?
Why did John kick Chris off the project why? That's what I want to know! This just seems so Dreamworks like.
Ummm…for the record, BUG'S LIFE stole it's story from SEVEN SAMURAI. Maybe instead of complaining about Hollywood, you might want to watch a wider variety of movies now and then…
I actually don't think it looks too bad–but maybe that's only because I just watched the Desperaux trailer.
The humans in the screencap above look horrendous.
That said, the Bolt character is very appealing, his friends have unique and eye-catching character designs, and this trailer was greeted with a lot of laughter (mostly from the insane hamster) when I saw it with WALL•E.
Damon R
The film looks like it could be a harmless 90 minutes at the theatre, sometimes that's okay.
Just a little side note to Mark Morgan A Bug's Life and Three Amigos owe a debt to The Seven Samurai.
I liked it better during the first part, when the action/adventure thing seemed real. I think it would probably be more entertaining that way. I love the design of the villain guy. But the gags in the other part seem a little meh and the hamster has the potential to become a little irritating. The character design is cute but a little generic. Doesn't seem too bad but I'm not exactly excited about it.
I guess Buzz Lightyear was too busy to play this role. But, at least it's a solid idea that should please even the cynics like myself. I'll hold off any opinion until I go and see it.
Charles K.
The first part of trailer caught my attention for the story more than anything else, and then we got the truth. Nice animation that doesn't seem to move the game along and a sub-Pixar plot to boot. I won't judge based on a trailer, but it only makes me wonder what might have been.
tom stazer
UGH, i say. Very worrisome. It looked better than Chihauha, but then, so did the popcorn stuck to the theater foor.
It looks horribly generic, and yes waaayyyy to familiar. But as noted by others, if Pixar films were as weak as their trailers, well..
Cars is for me the low point of pixar output; almost unwatchable. Bolt looks like a one-view-and-forget, like Meet the Robinsons.
So yesterday, me and my girlfriend go see Wall.E.
The Bolt trailer comes on. The trailer's finished and I look at her only to find she's just as angered by the deragatorily daft storyline and character. The trailer was awful. And I'd be ashamed to my underwear if I was the one in charge who scrapped Chris Sanders.
of COURSE you chose to post the screenstill with the ugliest character models in the trailer.
Well, I will say it looks better than I was expecting. BUT I had very low expectations.
The hamster actually looks very well-animated and designed once you see him in motion. The pigeons and the villain looks especially fun to watch. But the story, and the rest of the look, is mediocure and bland.
That looks MUCH better than the original american dog. I'd seen a screening of the story reels at Disney and it was a TOTAL mess. At least this one looks coherant. And finally, the main character looks like a DOG.
I won't pretend to be unbiased and say this looks good – it doesn't, especially when you've seen what it could have been. Lilo & Stitch was one of the best Disney movies ever, even Hayao Miyazaki named it his favourite Disney movie – and it really showed Sanders had what it takes. But American Dog looked leagues better than Sander's last work. The few paintings I've seen of it look remarkably more edgier, funnier and truly original. Plus, I had a feeling that Bolt wouldn't compare to the cat with the eye-patch, and I've been proven right. Bolt is just another Disney CG disaster, a marketing product in other words (Miley Cyrus alone will ensure the success of this movie, regardless of its quality).
Paul N
I'm shocked – shocked, I tell you – to see that so many people here are willing to dump on a film based on the trailer…
Although I still feel strongly about the fact that Disney should be concentrating on no-nonsence fairytale features like Rapunzel, I do think that the concept and the trailer for Bolt are pretty awsome.
I do hope that Bolt stays in his original mindset instead of "discovering what the world is really about", because it would be too much of a Buzz Lightyear story if that would be the case.
Anyhoo, I'm looking forward to see it.
Tom D.
daryl t. asked. "…Why did John kick Chris off the project why? That's what I want to know!…"
daryl, some people here have been quick to point out that chris sanders was not "kicked off" the american dog project. he was simply told by lasseter that the project was too quirky and too personal, and that major changes needed to be made.
in other words, though shall not make graven images in your likeness (sanders), but in my likeness (lasseter)
this is from wikipedia about lasseter's early days in the field of animation:
"…Lasseter later obtained a job as an animator at Walt Disney Feature Animation…Lasseter and Thomas L. Wilhite decided they wanted to make a… feature…The story they chose was The Brave Little Toaster by Thomas Disch, but in their enthusiasm, they unknowingly stepped on some of their direct superiors' toes by going around them in their effort to get the project into motion. One of them, the animation administrator Ed Hansen[1] disliked it so much that when Lasseter and Wilhite tried to sell the idea to him and Ron Miller, which they at that time were already aware of, they turned it down. A few minutes after the meeting, Lasseter received a phone call from Hansen and was asked to come down to his office, where John was told that his job had been terminated. The Brave Little Toaster would later become a 2D animated feature film directed by one of John's friends, Jerry Rees…"
of course, this is just speculation, but it's not hard to IMAGINE (i said imagine, mind you) that lasseter was bitter about the firing, and vowed that one day HE'D be the big shot who got to throw his weight around and squash some young "punk's" dreams.
artist al capp started his career in comic strips working for ham fisher. capp often bitterly complained that fisher treated him very badly. despite this, when capp found himself in a position of power he treated his employees just as badly as fisher had treated him.
point being, it's possible that lasseter behaved in a similar fashion towards sanders.
yes, i am only speculating here, but what happened between lasseter and sanders IS somewhat similar to what happened between lasseter and ed hansen.
I didn't understand why the character models look so much like something Pixar made, and yet Pixar's name is nowhere to be seen in the trailer. Perhaps Disney's 3D animation studios now have access to Renderman and all of Pixar's resources? It occurs to me that we didn't see a teaser for the next Pixar film amidst all the trailers; I can't remember the last time that happened.
Bolt looks cute I guess. You know, for kids!
Apparently Lasseter is fresh out of new ideas, hence the ripping off of his own Buzz Lightyear character. The bloom is off the rose folks. Might be time to look for a wider talent pool outside of the John Lasseter sandbox. I've talked to plenty of people from this board who have alot of wonderfully inventive ideas for characters and films. Give the newbies a break once in awhile.
Ummm…for the record, drmedula, before you come off as a film snob maybe you should watch a wider varieties of movie first.
Bug's Life is a copy of a copy which is to say that, it's more like Three Amigos than Seven Samurai because Amigos was the same plot, they save the day but are there by mistake, a misunderstanding. Movie actors, to circus actors.
Where as in Seven Samurai the ronin (masterless samurai) show up because they are actually there to save the village.
Actually if you want to be more film snobby you could say that the Three Amigos is spoof on the Magnificent Seven which is a remake of the Seven Samurai. And if we want to be nice we could say that Bug's Life was paying homage to all of them.
On the American Dog tip. Chris Sanders is clearly a better character designer than what they have going on in Bolt. I wish Bolt was still his movie, right or wrong I feel like I'd at least be walking into something a little new instead of a rehash.
Acetate is right, this is total Buzz Lightyear all over again. I think the atmosphere effects look fantastic, but all the character designs look half assed compared to Sanders work. This movie looks like it plays things too safely.
Tom D. – Do you have some kind of magical crystal ball?
Are you actually in a position to speculate on such nonsense?
What a bunch of nonsense.
This whole thing with this Chris Sanders fellow has taken on mythic proportions.
Well….I guess we're getting there. The look of the film isn't so bad. It's not great, but its not bad. I am sure this would have looked totally different with Chris Sanders. But I won't take on any mythic proportions as Mr. Cowan says. With this trailer, only time will tell what it will be like.
Well, it's definitely not gonna be the next Lion King.. Or even the next Brother Bear for that matter. Heh… I miss the old designs.
Looks terrible. The designs are very drab and uninspiring.
Looks like the hamster is the big "comedy relief" for the film much like Shrek's Donkey. Although the hamster's rational thinking that being in a hamster ball makes him indestructible cracked me up. Other that that, based on the trailer, "eech…".
I too, miss Chris Sander's original designs!
Adding my voice to the choir of "not interested".
"in other words, though shall not make graven images in your likeness (sanders), but in my likeness (lasseter)"
No, the film was a total MESS. That's a fact, and anyone who's seen it would have to agree. It did not make any sense, and did not connect with anyone who saw it. The designs were all over the place, and although a few more passes might have made them identifiable with audiences, nothing could help the story.
Unless the director of "Lilo and Stitch," Dean Dubois, had helped sort out the story. Oh, Chris Sanders was the co-director. Without Dean, that film would have been a mess as well.
When millions of dollars are being spent on films intended to reach the widest possible audience, decisions like this are going to happen. That Sanders couldn't take it and quit is his problem, not Disney's.
> No, the film was a total MESS. That's a fact, and anyone who's seen it would have to agree. It did not make any sense, and did not connect with anyone who saw it. The designs were all over the place, and although a few more passes might have made them identifiable with audiences, nothing could help the story.
I really doubt what you say has any truth in it, and your observations sound more subjective than definitive, even though you reinforce the message of the design's incompetence throughout your post as a fact. Sander's designs were appreciated by many fans, here and on his own website. Lilo & Stitch had his stamp all over it, and it gained critical acclaim and commercial success. I doubt that in its early stages, American Dog was an excercise in futility in terms of quality animation, as you put it. Disney is in no short supply of talented animators, writers or directors – all of whom could have been put to task to manage the project or re-tool parts of it. Even if it was ultimately Sander's decision to leave, I do not trust that his designs were as useless as you make them out to be, especially considering their potential as recognized by animation fans, his previous excellence in a highly-regarded Disney feature and the potential for exceeding his abilities with American Dog.
What would happen if you combined "The Incredibles",(design) Krypto the Superdog"(character idea), "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey"(talking animals on a quest), "The Truman Show" (plot device) "Inspector Gadget" (Spy stuff, smart girl named Penny) and Animaniacs' "Rita & Runt" (dog with female cat sidekick)? Add an Elvis remix to the soundtrack (check!) and you've got…"Bolt"!
*That looks MUCH better than the original american dog. I'd seen a screening of the story reels at Disney and it was a TOTAL mess. At least this one looks coherant. And finally, the main character looks like a DOG.*
Well, I never saw any story reels, but I've seen the original character designs, and I have to agree with the other Jason – Chris Sander's dog didn't look like a dog. It looked like a baby moose. Or maybe Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark with a bad nose job. It was truly weird, and I don't think audiences would have bought his design as being a dog for one minute. I admit that when I saw stills of the new version, it too looked a bit odd, but now that I've seen it animated, it's kind of cute and still superior to Chris' design IMO. And FWIW when I saw Wall*E at the movies today, people in the audience seemed to love the Bolt trailer. They laughed at everything. And I'll probably go to see it now, whereas I had no plan to do so before.
I could curse Disney though for that damn Chihuahua movie. Do the suits have any idea how bad such a piece of shite makes Disney look? I've suffered through BOTH trailers for that "film", and both times everybody in the movie theatre groaned. If the suits were smart they'd shelve the thing or make it direct to DVD. Geez, Lasseter, do the right thing, put that puppy to sleep!

I'll get to the Bolt trailer in a moment, but first-
I think Lilo & Stitch is about as good as an animated film can get. It has been my 6 year old daughter's favorite film since she was 2, so the number of times I have seen it has to be approaching triple digits. It holds up every time. I love the quirky storyline and characters, the design, the beautiful watercolor backgrounds, and the humor. I have been waiting for Disney animation to produce something that good ever since, and it hasn't happened. At the same time, I have been looking forward to next project from L&S's co-director, co-writer, designer and voice actor, Chris Sanders. So, like a lot of Cartoon Brew's readers, I was distressed when I read that he was removed from directing American Dog.
But- I think the level of hero worship directed at Mr. Sanders here is overblown. In spite of Pixar's public relations pushing directors as auteurs, most animated films, like almost all films, are collaborations of many, many people. As good as Mr. Sanders may be, he did not make L&S- or any other future film he will direct- by himself (ask Dean DeBlois). It kind of makes me long for the days when Disney films were fairly anonymous affairs (quick- name the director of Dumbo).
Bolt deserves to be judged on it's own merits- not the wish fulfillment fantasies of people who want history to have occurred differently.
Now about the trailer-
It looks as if it will be about as good of a film as Valiant. Still waiting…
> Well, I never saw any story reels, but I've seen the original character designs, and I have to agree with the other Jason – Chris Sander's dog didn't look like a dog. It looked like a baby moose.
Based on your description, you seem to be confusing the characters. The moose was a separate character, the titular dog looked distinctly like a dog. For reference, here are the two pictures which clearly demonstrate their differences.
The Moose:
The Dog:
Darn it…
Not fair…
I had a nifty joke about it being horrible ready just before watching the trailer…
It's not bad! Looks like the story should be entertaining. Though the designs are still boring. Sanders atleast did some experimenting in terms of look.

"…And finally, the main character looks like a DOG…"
walter lantz made millions of dollars and his star creation is loved the world over, despite the fact that woody looked nothing like a woodpecker.
Oh, sorry, Porky, you're right. But the pics and sketches with the baby moose were the ONLY ones I saw and somehow I got the idea that the moose was the dog!
I have to admit that they do resemble each other a bit, though…and that the "new" Bolt is still far better-looking…
And for the record, I loved Lilo and Stitch. It's one of my fave Disney films. I'm not bashing Chris Sanders, but I'm willing to give this new Bolt a chance, based on this new trailer. It looks pretty good.
Isn't there some kind of thread etiquette? I"m the original "Dan" that astutely pointed out that Buzz Lightyear must have been too busy for this gig. The same idea that Acetate came up with later and was credited for. And then, Another Dan comes along and uses my same "handle" with remarks that I wouldn't have come up with. Whatever. I saw the Bolt trailer in all it's glory yesterday and it's kind of sad that Disney appears to try and emulate what Pixar has done. If they are going to have success in CG, they are going to have to find themselves as Dreamworks seams to have done.
Okay, at last we have concrete proof that studios hire big names for their star power and not voice talent…because Miley Cyrus sounds like a 30 year old chain smoker in animated form.
Just so you know, that IS the dog. The person's description was right. That's not a moose, that's American Dog.
And I haven't seen the reels, but a friend worked there and did. His story jibes with the description as a mess. He said it was interesting looking, but the story was hard to follow and very confusing. He wished Sanders had been able to stay on it, but agreed that his story wasn't working.
It will be interesting to see if the love most Brew readers have for Chris Sanders transfers to his new film at Dreamworks, which most Brew readers seem to hate. I'll be popping the popcorn for those threads! :)
Bolt looks like a puppy or adolescent to me. Is he really supposed to be a full-grown dog? It's freaking me out that a puppy-like character has the voice of an adult like John Travolta. Stupid decision #23!
Something Red
Despite the ordinariness of the character designs or the Seen-that-in Pixar-and-any-other-3d-films overall look of the film, I'd have to admit that I'm super excited to see this film. I love Chris Sander's work and especially his Lilo and Stitch — I'm sad with the fact that he's booted out of his own creation, and obviously, I would love to see his original vision of the film, but to my surprise, after seeing the trailer, I'm actually excited to see this version too.
I love Wall-E and all of the other recent Pixar films, but when I watch them in theaters, I couldn't help but noticed and felt sad that the adults enjoyed them more than the kids. I think & hope this film would bring that balance back — I hope this would do what Toy Story 1 & 2 had done. Timeless, good storytelling and great characters for all generations — of course, they all call me naive… :)
I'll join ya Floyd!
P.C. Unfunny
Watch out Monster House, your title of "Ugliest Humans in an Animated Feature" may be contended.
Baron Lego
So… the film is about a dog who THINKS he's a super canine out to save his master from a kidnapping scheme that actually hasn't happened? Hmmm.
I mean, wouldn't it be more interesting if the same dog had to legitimately save his master from a REAL abduction plot? I actually preferred the genetically-enhanced dog idea at the beginning of the trailer, admittedly.
Oh, and kudos to Disney for blowing a portion of the budget on securing John Travolta's flat and uninteresting voice for the lead role. Nicely done.

my guess would be NO. at dreamworks sanders has taken over a project that was started by aardman studios. aardman's art and story telling is so different from sander's that i don't think the two will mix well. even the basic story idea doesn't sound like something that would be sander's cup of tea.
hopefully i'll be wrong.
What in god's name was Lassetter thinking when he said Sander's idea was too personal and quirky? What the fuck is wrong with those two qualities??
i think the chris sanders 'moose' looks much better than the dog in the trailer.
actually…wouldn't it be a better movie altogether if it were a moose instead of a dog?
can someone tell the rest of us WHAT the project is that Chris is doing over at DW's?? Thanks!
i can see this being just a disney film. nothing special, i laughed at the hamster, and the pigeons were funny. travolta as bolt? creepy.
If the story wasn't working , couldn't they just change it A LITTLE BIT instead of doing something entirely new? I know this has happened before and maybe sometimes for the best (Emperor's New Groove), but seriously, did they have to change the designs that much? I agree the moose/dog design was a little weird but it looked original too. And in some of the other pictures he did look like a dog. On the other hand why can't we have the mutant rabbit and the cat with a patch in his eye? Those seemed fairly more interesting than these other characters. The kitten here seems fairly generic in her behaviour even though I like her design. The hamster has good facial expressions but he doesn't seem so funny.
I mean, even if the guns and cigars were too "adult" or something and they needed to make it a little more childish to get some profit I still believe they could have kept SOMETHING from the original look and concept.
"I agree the moose/dog design was a little weird but it looked original too. And in some of the other pictures he did look like a dog. "
Folks , you're so earnestly discussing early concept art , not final designs. If Chris Sanders had stayed on the project the final character design would have looked like a dog (a fun, quirky Chris Sanders-ish dog, no doubt) . No one has really seen what the final Sanders version would have looked like. But that is over , it was over a long time ago, so get over it. Take "Bolt" on it's own merits , not what "might have been" . Personally, I love Sanders' "quirky" design sense in everything he draws, but his drawing style would inevitably be evened-out and bland-ized as it moved through the CG pipeline.
This kind of thing happens all the time. No good guys — no bad guys–just business.
Some years ago, I worked on a film called, "Sweating Bullets." It one day morphed into, "Home on the Range." The "suits" made the call.
Actually, I prefer personal and quirky. Big shots and big time corporations like to play it safe. After all, who wants to risk 80 million bucks? I would– but I'm crazy.
I showed the Bolt trailer to a non-animator friend, then showed him Chris Sanders' development art.
My friend liked Disney's version better. He thought the new dog was "cuter". Now, we animators will be the first to support our colleagues and their artistic ambitions, but we can't always predict how an audience will react. The BOLT trailer got a positive reaction every time I saw WALL*E ( all four times )
That said, I still love Chris Sanders amazing work.
Anybody else look at the villain and think, "Jafar?"
Can we at least clarify one thing?
John Lasseter and the Walt Disney Animation Studio has absolutely nothing to do with Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
The reason the dog looks like a moose in that painting is that he's nose to nose with a glowing, radioactive bunny. The distinction between the black dog nose and the brown muzzle gets lost because of this, resulting in a painting that makes the dog look kind of like a moose. So it's more a quirk of that particular painting than the actual character design.
As for Bolt's character designs, there's nothing technically wrong with them. In fact, as far as the CG humans go, they actually look better than most. The problem they do have, however, is their blandness. I recall hearing about how for Brad Bird, it was a big fight to give the boy in Family Dog messed up (or missing) kid teeth. Same with Hogarth's crooked teeth and cowlick in Iron Giant and Mr. Incredible's receding hairline in The Incredibles. Real people have quirks and that makes them interesting (John Kricfaluci talked about this in a blog entry about kid character design in animation; maybe someone can link to that article…I don't know how to make links). But certain people (mostly suited types, I'd reckon), have a problem with quirk, and much love for the bland…the "cleaning up" and "averaging out" of things…so much so that they often insist on it…resulting in the type of design you see in Bolt, Meet the Robinson's and Everybody's Hero… not bad design per se…just bland.
The same can be said about the bland lighting and composition: overly bright, "perfect" lighting, lots of cutting rather than letting a scene play out in a wide shot, over-emphasis on close-ups, no long lens shots, no characters silhouetted or standing in shadows or out of focus, no colored lighting…just blandness.
Of course, this is nothing new. Throughout history, the Ward and June Cleaver blanding of everything (in various incarnations over the years) has been the holy grail of certain people, whether it be in films or TV or advertising, writing, photography, art…whatever.
Blandness is one point of view, but not the only one. The question is whether or not that view gets a monopoly on the lens through which people see art. But I wonder why any artist should have to FIGHT just to get some crooked teeth on a cartoon kid, or a receding hairline, or why an unconventional looking cartoon dog design should cost you your job.
All that said, a movie should ultimately be judged on it's story and not on the way it looks. But when the design, casting, photography and everything else that you can immediately see are united by single aesthetic (that is to say, bland) why should you have any faith that the story will be any different?
This blog points out some of the character similarities to Animaniacs that jumped out when watching the trailer:
"All that said, a movie should ultimately be judged on it's story and not on the way it looks."
Yeah, but it's a movie.
It's something you go and LOOK at for two hours.
It should certainly be judged on the way it looks, especially on an animation related forum.

this from wikipedia:
Crood Awakening is an upcoming animated film being produced by DreamWorks Animation. The original script was co-written by John Cleese and Kirk DeMicco, and the project began as a coproduction with Aardman Animations. On October 3, 2006 (a month before the release of Flushed Away), it was reported that DreamWorks and Aardman would not be continuing their production and distribution deal due to "creative differences." [1] Aardman later announced that they would no longer have any involvement with the production of Crood Awakening following the split. [2] In March 2007, DreamWorks announced that the film will be directed by Chris Sanders, who will likely be doing a significant rewrite of the script.[3]
The film is expected to be released in November 2009.
The pigeons in Bolt don't remind ME of that horrible show animaniacs. There is no comparison. And no likeness whatsoever. How ridiculously silly.
Now to call the kettle black… the entire thing reminded me of Animaniacs in tone and characters (Buttons and Mindy, Goodfeathers), and it looked like the kind of thing I would've loved, nay, adored as a kid, but kind of wince at now. Much like the animaniacs actually.
For Chris Sanders being fired though, I guess I expected something mindblowing. Like a justification. I really wish all of this would be demystified.
Kids will love this though.
Like Madagascar. Kids will watch that until their eyeballs melt.

"All that said, a movie should ultimately be judged on it's story and not on the way it looks."
While an animated movie can have a really good story and characters I will absolutely judge it on how it looks. Bland character/backgrounds/lighting designs bored me senseless in Meet the Robinsons and I often can't get into an anime series (which is pretty much all about story and character rather than animation) if the character designs rub me the wrong way, no matter how good the story/characters are.
I think I need to clarify the point I was trying to make: when you see a FINISHED FILM you get the complete story, but when you see it's TRAILER you get primarily the visuals, but not much of the story. So in a TRAILER, visuals are almost the only thing you have to go on, so its ONLY RIGHT that you judge a trailer by its visuals. And when all the other visual and non-visual elements share a common aesthetic–blandness–it's reasonable to deduce that the story will probably be bland as well. I suppose I wrote awkwardly, and it probably should have said something more along the lines of "ultimately, a film should be judged as a whole and not just by it's trailer, BUT…(and it's a big "but")"
I certainly didn't want to give anyone the impression that I don't think visuals matter in animated films, because that's almost the opposite of what I actually believe, and was trying to get across (jesus, I'm a concept and storyboard artist, for cryin' out loud).
I think the only similarity between these pigeons and the Goodfeathers is the fact there are three f them and they speak in a New York accent.
I already like the BOLT pigeons better because they were actually FUNNY, whereas the Goodfeathers was an always unfunny parody of a rated R gangster movie that very few children would know. So really, I don't understand why so many feathers are getting ruffled ( pun intended )
Take a closer look at the trailer in HD. There's some damn fine background work in this film. Some real nice pastel-ish nature that really does distinguish itself from Disney's usual fake looking CG "nature"
Seeing the pigeons up close, in the trailer, the faces are unique and funny and I really like how successfully the stupidity of real pigeons has been captured (not unlike the staring eyes and movements of Chicken Boo). However, it's a group of three pigeon characters who are the same colours as the Goodfeathers, so comparisons are going to be drawn (especially when in the first preview they were only seen at a distance).
I did notice the soft backgrounds in the trailer, and the film does seem to have a slightly different look to other CG films. It didn't seem quite as painterly as I'd expected from what I'd heard about this film, but so many shots went by so quickly in that trailer, it was kind of hard to register things properly. It's possible the whole thing will look a lot better when viewing whole scenes rather than a frantic series of very brief glimpses.
Hay! Phil, how old are you? FIVE! Wow!!!! This is awsome…….. Jeez, pass me the revolver and put me out of Bolt's misery. Another nail in the coffin of animation!
I am 6, and that is no way to talk to a 5 or 6 year old…

text: This has been worst year for cancels in 12 years. Between drought and crabgrass issues , i have stopped trying to save em. The cost of drive75 and constant battle with informing customers of proper mowing height and watering needs in fescue lawns(north carolina) has finally proved to costly to keep up with. I'm going full maintenance without "fert and squirt only" next year. To many homeowners absolve full responsibility when they hire you to do a simple 6 app program. I would be interested in hearing how others in the transition zone deal with late season crabgrass infestations. 1. If you water a tall fescue lawn like you should in this area during late spring and summer the pre emergent breaks down very quickly and leaves a long unprotected crabgrass opening before seeding. 2. I fit rains alot ( see above) 3. if it doesnt rain or you don't water , expect the lawn to go dormant , show signs of drought stress and eventually die/thin out , leaving some nice areas for weeds and crab to emerge. This doesnt even touch on Fungus issues with proper watering....and the resulting potential problems with that.

Zimbabwe made their debut in cricket World Cup in 1983 and they surprised everybody by defeating Australia by 13 runs in the very first match. But the minnows never had any great moment in the quadrennial tournament till 1999 when they first made the second stage of the tournament after beating strong teams like South Africa and India.
They also made the last six in the 2003 edition which they had co-hosted along with South Africa and Kenya.
In the 2015 World Cup, Zimbabwe are clubbed with India, Pakistan, South Africa, West Indies, Ireland and the UAE in Pool B.
Here is Zimbabwe's schedule at WC 2015: Vs South Africa (Feb 15), Vs UAE (Feb 19), Vs West Indies (Feb 24), Vs Pakistan (Mar 1), Vs Ireland (Mar 7), Vs India (Mar 14)
WC 2015 squad: Elton Chigumbura (capt), Sikandar Raza, Regis Chakabva, Tendai Chatara, Chamu Chibhabha, Craig Ervine, Tafadzwa Kamungozi, Hamilton Masakadza, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Solomon Mire, Tawanda Mupariwa, Tinashe Panyangara, Brendan Taylor (wk), Prosper Utseya, Sean Williams.
Zimbabwe's best performance: Super-six stage in 1999 and 2003.
Zimbabwe's success percentage in WC: 21.87% (played 51, won 10, lost 37, tied 1, no results 3)
Most matches as captain: Alistair Campbell, David Houghton & Heath Streak (all 8 matches with Campbell having the best record of winning 3, losing 4, no results 1)
Highest team score: 340/2 vs Namibia in 2003
Lowest team score: 99 vs Pakistan in 2007
Most number of matches in WC for NZ: Andy Flower (30)
Zimbabwe's highest scorer in WC: Andy Flower (815 runs in 30 matches at an average of 32.60, best 115 not out)
Most number of wickets for Zimbabwe in WC: Heath Streak (22 wickets in 22 matches, best 3 for 35)
Highest individual score by a Zimbabwean in WC: Craig Wishart (172 not out vs Namibia in 2003)
Best bowling figures by a Zimbabwean in WC: Paul Strang (5 for 21 vs Kenya in 1996)
Biggest win for Zimbabwe in WC: Vs Kenya by 5 wickets in 1996 and 1999, Vs Canada by 175 runs in 2011
Narrowest win for Zimbabwe in WC: Vs Kenya by 5 wickets in 1996 and 1999, vs India by 3 runs in 1999
Biggest loss for Zimbabwe in WC: Vs West Indies and New Zealand by 10 wickets in 1983 & 2011, respectively; vs Pakistan by 9 wickets in 1999, vs South Africa by 148 runs in 1999
Narrowest loss for Zimbabwe in WC: Vs Sri Lanka by 3 wickets in 1992, vs New Zealand by 3 runs in 1987
Looking back at Zimbabwe's WC performance in since 1983 when they made their debut:
1983: Zimbabwe had a dream debut in World Cup when they beat Australia by 13 runs at Trent Bridge. Skipper Duncan Fletcher's magnificent all-round performance (69 not out and four for 42) helped the Africans shock the finalists of 1975. They, however, lost the remaining five matches to end at the end of the group table.
1987: This edition was a complete disaster for the Zimbabweans as they failed to win a single match in six outings. John Traicos was the captain of the side in this edition.
1992: Led by David Houghton, Zimbabwe experienced another disastrous World Cup Down Under. They lost seven matches on the trot before pulling out a surprise victory over England.
Zimbabwe pulled off a 9-run victory over finalists England in 1992 WC
Eddo Brandes's four for 21 saw his team restricting the English batsmen to 125, just nine runs short of Zimbabwe's 134. Andy Flower made his debut in this World Cup with an excellent 115 not out against Sri Lanka at New Plymouth but could not avert defeat.
1996: Led by Andy Flower, the African side could win one out of five matches in the group stages and that too against debutants Kenya. Paul Strang's five for 21 against Kenya in Patna remains the best bowling figure for the Zimbabweans in the World Cup.
1999: Zimbabwe's best World Cup till date. The African side beat India by 3 runs and South Africa by 48 runs to advance to the Super Six stage with four points.
In the Super Six stage, though the side led by Alistair Campbell could not win any matches (game against New Zealand abandoned and defeats against Australia and Pakistan) but Neil Johnson's 132 not out against the mighty Australians at the Lord's while chasing 303 was one of the best knocks of the tournament.
Johnson, in fact, was Zimbabwe's hero in this edition, both with the bat and the ball.
2003: Zimbabwe's second-best World Cup performance so far. Playing on the home turf, they got a walkover from England and beat Namibia and the Netherlands to reach the Super Six stage along with Australia and India. But the side led by Heath Streak lost all three matches in the Super Six stage, including against semifinalists Kenya to finish at the end of the table.
2007: Prosper Utseya became the seventh man to lead Zimbabwe in the World Cup but the team could not do much apart from managing a tie against debutants Ireland.
2011: Elton Chigumbura led Zimbabwe in this World Cup but the Africans could only register two mammoth victories against minnows Canada (by 175 runs) and Kenya (by 161 runs)

At the urging of readers once again I am asking you to support SR. The money makes a big difference. Last year it paid to restructure the antiquated basic programming that runs SR allowing us to now put out four versions — website, subscriber, Facebook, and Twitter. People write me, and come up to me at conferences and tell me the need for the information in SR has never been greater, and I certainly concur. We must become proactive on behalf of wellness from the individual, the family, the community, the nation, and the planet.

[Editor's Note: I cracked up over I Still Hate Pickle's post musing on what real life would be like if it were anything like her Pinterest life. I think a lot of us can relate to wishing that our boards would magically transform into real life habits and skills. --Mel]
I could pair skinny jeans with the perfect fall boot.
My hair would always be in perfectly messy braids, or wind-tossed curls.
Most of the furniture in my home would be handmade from repurposed and reclaimed wood.
What else do you wish could come true from your Pinterest boards?
