It now seems more inconceivable than ever to realize that for over three decades Alfred Hitchcock's English period (1926-39) was valued by film critics and historians far above his American (1940-76). Throughout the 1940s,'50s and much of the '60s—-while Hitch turned out such superb and challenging work as Shadow of A Doubt, Notorious, Strangers on A Train, Rear Window, Vertigo, and North by Northwest, to name only a few of the highlights—-these were denigrated and the early British movies were held up as the great pinnacle of achievement from which he had fallen. Supposedly, The Lodger, Blackmail, the first Man Who Knew Too Much, The 39 Steps, and The Lady Vanishes, among others, were the vintage Hitchcock, and the newer stuff merely commercial Hollywood sellout.
Not until the French New Wave's critical influence of Francois Truffaut, Eric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol and others made itself felt here in the '60s and '70s did the tide begin to turn. When in 1963, New York's prestigious Museum of Modern Art presented its first Hitchcock retrospective (also the first in the U.S.), the position taken in the accompanying monograph that I prepared-—calling the American films notably superior to the English-—was anything but the prevailing wisdom.
Of the 20-odd British films Hitchcock directed, certainly the best is 1935's The 39 Steps (available on DVD). Seen today, the picture looks like an extremely talented, youthful sketch for 1942's more ambitious and complicated (but far from perfect) Saboteur, and the brilliant crowning glory of 1959's North by Northwest. All three are innocent-man-on-the-run spy adventures---The 39 Steps made when Hitch was only 35, already very successful but still learning---North by Northwest when he was 60 and at the absolute peak of his powers. Among the most entertaining aspects of seeing The 39 Steps these days is in observing how very many of the ideas and themes of his later work are here in embryonic form.
In the '60s, when I asked Hitchcock about The 39 Steps, he responded: "What I liked about it were the sudden switches and the jumping from one situation to another with such rapidity. [The star Robert] Donat leaping out of the window of the police station with half a handcuff on, and immediately walking into a Salvation Army Band, darting down an alleyway and into a room. 'Thank God you've come, Mr. So-and-so,' they say, and put him onto a platform. [A bit later borrowed by Graham Greene for The Third Man.] A girl comes along with two men, takes him in a car to the police station, but not really to the police station—-they are two spies. The rapidity of the switches, that's the great thing about it... but it really takes a lot of work. You have to use one idea after another..." He could have been describing North by Northwest, which he did often refer to as "the American 39 Steps."
The irony is that part of what makes The 39 Steps still so charming in the 21st century, over 75 years after it was released, is to know the mature Hitchcock and to see in his youth the almost innocent sense of wonder and excitement he brought to the making of movies.
The other part of this particular film's durability is the extraordinary presence of, and performances given by, the two stars, Robert Donat and Madeleine Carroll. Ms. Carroll had the distinction of being the first of Hitchcock's cool, imperturbable blondes (in a line that led to Grace Kelly as a kind of climax), and bringing it off brilliantly, in the performance that took her to Hollywood.
My dear mother always loved Robert Donat, who is probably best remembered in the U.S. for his Academy Award-winning role in the original 1939 Goodbye, Mr. Chips. As a child, my parents took me to see Donat playing a dual role in a revival-house running of Rene Clair's and Robert E. Sherwood's charming satirical fantasy, The Ghost Goes West (1935), and it instantly became one of my favorite films. I must have seen it five times before I was twelve. Donat died in 1958 at the age of only 53, so he is not often remembered now, but his eloquent voice, poetic good looks and easy gift of honesty and reticence is especially well captured in The 39 Steps.

For me, MAK has a point. There was at one time good reason to pull the British period of AH down--and you've said the reasons for this eloquently. The mature sensibility that animates the period from REAR WINDOW in 1954 through MARNIE in 1964 shows Hitchcock at his absolute peak--most of those films are masterpieces and the few that are not also have something great about them--and I don't believe the Hitchcock of the British years could ever have come close to doing anything as profound and eternal as VERTIGO.
But he was clearly a brilliant and creative artist from the beginning, and quickly mastered every aspect of filmmaking, and it's evident so often in the British films. And while it's also true he has great films in all periods, I think the 40s--his first American decade--is kind of choppier than the British films. It has SHADOW OF A DOUBT and NOTORIOUS, both among his masterpieces, and other films that if they miss at all it's not by much (LIFEBOAT) or they are at least intensely fascinating (UNDER CAPRICORN) but there are also some missteps, and a special problem, interference from David O. Selznick that makes all three Selznick/Hitchcocks less than they might be, certainly less than great Hitchcock (I should add that Selznick is one of the most overrated people in Hollywood history to me because of the way he overstepped with directors--and I think only two films he was associated with are great, both 1933, LITTLE WOMEN and KING KONG, and kind of doubt he deserves much of the credit for those.
Some of the British producers were more supportive, like Michael Balcon. Personally, I don't rate THE 39 STEPS at the top of the British ones, precisely because it is so handily surpassed even by the admittedly less than perfect SABOTEUR let alone the definitive masterpiece of this kind of narrative NORTH BY NORTHWEST. I really love the charm of THE LADY VANISHES and like some others here rank that high, but for me, even that is second best.
My favorite of the British ones, and I think there are a few others out there who might agree, is YOUNG AND INNOCENT. This too is "innocent man on the run" but the emphasis is different--it's really on his girlfriend, played so endearingly by Nova Pilbeam, and is kind of about her coming of age, and she is the center of a film so charming and one of my favorites of Hitchcock. And if that weren't enough, it has one of the most memorable shots he ever did in the climax--that stunning boom shot that moves in long shot from one room to another and then slowly moves into the twitching eyes of the blackfaced drummer (whom we know is the murderer because of the twitching) during the "Drummer Man" number as the character starts to melt down. Just a great sequence. What one wouldn't give to see something this great in any contemporary
suspense thriller.

@Jerome S. -
East of Shanghai? (aka - RICH AND STRANGE)
For a moment I thought there was a new Hitchcock film to look up!
But Peter -
Why must we choose? - there are different periods in Hitch's career and they all have there own masterpieces - of the late British pics, 39 STEPS might be called the most forward-looking of his films, and one that he surpassed -
But I don't think he ever surpassed THE LADY VANISHES with anything similar in his later pics. It captures a note of emotion & joy within the suspense & high good humor like nothing else he ever did.
Is it better? - Can't say. But it is unique.
jerome schuetz | July 21, 2011 7:28 AM
my feelings are that hitchs film east of shanghaii was one of his best british pics. it moves very fast like the 39 steps except its not about spies and danger but a relationship between a husband and wife and their relantionship with money
Andrew Willis | July 21, 2011 4:15 AM
I have to agree with Chris Stilly. The 39 Steps is probably my 3rd or 4th favorite early Hitchcock film (Which is still very high praise). The Lady Vanishes is what I think is his best British film. The films structure and set pieces were mind blowing in their day and still impressive today.
Christopher Stilley | July 21, 2011 3:57 AM
While it may not be my favorite Hitchcock film,it is certainly the one I've seen the most (thanks to all those public domain tv showings over many years)and its the one I never tire of seeing over and over..There is something cozy and appealing about being chased all over the dark highlands of scotland and few things bring me joy than to here that jaunty intro music for Mr. Memory.
Bobby Wise | July 20, 2011 12:21 PM
Can't agree with you on "The 39 Steps" being "certainly the best" of British Hitchcock. As good as it is, that honor must go to "The Lady Vanishes" instead. There are scant few films in the history of cinema that I would call flawless gems. Absolutely perfect. This is one of them.
Oskar | July 20, 2011 11:27 AM
I remember seing this at quite a young age for the first time, and to this day I still find that it is one of the most entertaining films Hitchcock ever made. A great demonstration of the craft of film. Thank you Mr. Bogdanovich for an eloquent, informative and as usually very interesting read.

- Hernandez gets start with Young away until Monday
- Scheppers optioned as Uehara comes off DL
- Olt expected against Price on Monday
- Worth noting
ARLINGTON -- Rangers right-hander Yu Darvish threw 39 pitches in the bullpen on Sunday without problems and is good to go for his start on Tuesday against the Rays. Darvish has been dealing with a tight right quad muscle and was skipped in his last start against the Twins on Thursday."It feels very good," Darvish said after Sunday's bullpen session. "If I had to make that start, I was pretty sure I would have been able to do it. Everything went well today so it was the same physical preparation. With my delivery, I was able to do the same things I am normally able to do." Roy Oswalt replaced Darvish on Thursday but is now back in the bullpen as a long reliever. Oswalt is 1-0 with a 4.70 ERA in five games this month. Rangers starters also went into Sunday's game with a record of 5-1 and a 2.85 ERA in the past seven games. Darvish goes into Tuesday's start with a record of 2-4 and a 6.60 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break. The ERA is the ninth highest in the American League since the break. For the season, he is still fourth with 172 strikeouts going into Sunday and he has held opponents to a .233 batting average, the sixth lowest in the league. But he also has 80 walks, tied for the second most in the league.
Hernandez gets start with Young away until Monday
ARLINGTON -- Michael Young is expected to be back with the Rangers on Monday after missing three games due to paternity leave. Luis Hernandez was called up on Friday to fill Young's roster spot and on Sunday he got his first start at shortstop.Manager Ron Washington wanted to give Elvis Andrus a day off, so Hernandez was in the lineup. He is expected to return to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday when Young returns. Hernandez could be called up in September when the rosters expand to 40 players, but the Rangers haven't committed to that. They could bring back Alberto Gonzalez from Triple-A to be their utility infielder, or they could go with Jurickson Profar, their top Minor League prospect who is at Double-A Frisco. "We'll decide what we're going to do when we have to make a decision," Washington said. "We've talked about it but we haven't made a decision." With Andrus out of the lineup and Young unavailable, Washington put Mitch Moreland in the No. 2 spot on Sunday. Moreland has played four games at the No. 2 spot in the lineup over the past three seasons. "I'll keep the same game plan," Moreland said. "I want to try to grind out at-bats, have good, quality at-bats and hit the ball hard." Moreland went into Sunday's game hitting .338 with five doubles, four home runs and 18 RBIs in 25 games since coming off the disabled list on July 30.
Scheppers optioned as Uehara comes off DL
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers activated pitcher Koji Uehara off the disabled list and optioned pitcher Tanner Scheppers back to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. Scheppers was 1-0 with a 4.56 ERA in 29 games for the Rangers since being called up on June 7. He had a 1.23 ERA in his last 18 games.Manager Ron Washington said Scheppers will be back in September when the rosters expand to 40 players. "Scheppers certainly made a good impression," Washington said. "But he has options. He's a piece that we certainly will have in the bullpen as we move forward into the future. He did a great job. He really did." The decision came down to Scheppers or Michael Kirkman. But the Rangers wanted Kirkman as their second left-hander in the bullpen behind Robbie Ross. "Hopefully he can throw the ball over the plate because his curve ball can play big time," Washington said of Kirkman. Uehara has been sidelined since June 10 with a strained muscle in his right rib cage. He had a 2.11 ERA in 20 appearances before going on the disabled list and pitched a pair of scoreless innings without problem for Round Rock on Tuesday and Friday. "I only have one month left in the regular season, so I'm hoping I can enjoy the rest of the season," Uehara said. "It all depends on the mental side of the game. As long as I'm confident, I feel like I will be at my best."
Olt expected against Price on Monday
ARLINGTON -- Rangers infielder Mike Olt is expected to be back in the lineup on Monday with left-hander David Price on the mound for the Rays. Olt has been dealing with a bout of plantar fasciitis in his right heel, but manager Ron Washington said he should be good to go on Monday."It was pretty bad but it's a lot better than it was a couple of days ago," Olt said. "When I wake up, it's easier to walk on." Olt is 4-for-22 since being called up from Double-A Round Rock, including 3-for-11 off of left-handers. He was not in the lineup on Saturday when the Rangers faced left-hander Brian Duensing. But Washington said that was because he wanted to give Mitch Moreland a chance to face a left-hander and not because Olt is limited by the inflammation in his heel.

A selection of quality moulded garden statue sculptures made from a white cement and fine crushed marble composite, creating a finish far superior to common concrete garden statues.
These beautiful ornaments represent great value, made in Italy by skilled craftsmen and finished by hand, embracing modern techniques alongside traditional kilning at 960 degrees, designed to minimize air traps and joint lines.
All garden statues in our store benefit from being frost resistant and will give countless years of visual pleasure.
Pictures of garden statues and garden sculptures within the shop pages are finished in 'antiqued' (Patinato) unless stated. By default, unless requested otherwise, statues for the garden will be ordered in this finish. An option of 'white' is available upon request. We do however recommend the antiqued finish as this enhances the creases and folds of the statue sculpture and therefore brings out the detail of the carving. With a white finish one could easily become over concerned at the slightest finger print, leaf mark or bird dropping.
ORDERS OVER £500 FREE (UK Mainland). If your total order is under £500, see delivery zone charges to the right.

Danette Christine
As Founder and President of Soundtrack Marketing, Danette Christine has grown a boutique independent music licensing company into a marketing and music branding strategy. She elevated Delta Air Lines' on-board entertainment from background music, to compelling radio, producing exclusive interviews, radio adventures and live performances with Bon Jovi, John Legend and Cirque Du Soleil. Christine was instrumental in the launch of musically-driven SONG Airline, the first domestic carrier to feature world-premiere albums in flight. She has supervised and produced international music environments for Air Force One, LAN Chile, and Bangkok Airways.
The music brand designer was an early adopter of the electronic movement that brought chill sounds to ad campaigns, including licensing rights for international labels such as Compost in Germany. That music has since been featured in Six Feet Under, and Apple G4 ads. In collaboration with KCRW's Nic Harcourt and Ariane Morgenstern, Christine and her team brought their licensing expertise to help Nissan North America secure innovative music products for Nissan's NextGen automobiles. That relationship inspired her to customize the syndicated music program Sounds Eclectic to the inflight environment.
One of her greatest skills -- and joys -- is working directly with diverse artists, from Elvis Costello and Smokey Robinson to Lou Reed and film composer Michael Kamen. Her mission is to educate audiences, and provide them with the sense of discovery. She's a devoted collaborator, creating spin for artists on mainstream and alternative record labels from Universal, Warner Bros., and Disney to SubPop, Vanguard, Nacional and Compost.

Carrie Brown
I am Carrie Brown-Smith and I am an assistant professor of journalism at the University of Memphis, where I do research on newspapers' efforts to grapple with changes to newsroom structure, culture, and daily routines in the digital age. I am also interested in how social media is impacting journalism and democracy.
I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in journalism and serve as the director of the Teen Appeal, a citywide high school newspaper. We bring students from Memphis public schools to campus to learn journalism, with funding from the Scripps Howard Foundation. Many of the students we work with come from lower-income households, and one of our top goals is helping to foster diversity in America's newsrooms. I'm also involved in efforts to revitalize our department's journalism curriculum to adapt to the rapidly changing media landscape and ensure our students develop multimedia skills. I recently developed and am teaching two new courses on social media.
Before returning to academia, I managed the traveling curriculum program of the Committee of Concerned Journalists for three years, going to newspapers of all sizes across the United States to discuss how journalists could do a better job of upholding their values in their daily work. Our workshops were based on the principles articulated in the book Elements of Journalism by CCJ Chairmen Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel. This experience was invaluable and gave me a bird's eye view of what is happening in the newspaper industry today.
I've also spent time working in the newsroom myself, as a reporter for the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram in Wisconsin, an intern at the Philadelphia Inquirer, an associate newsletter editor covering policy developments on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, and, most recently, as an assistant city editor at the Columbia Missourian.
I received my PhD from the University of Missouri, where I had the opportunity to study with the director of the Center for the Study of Organizational Change and learn some lessons from outside our field relevant to challenges facing journalism today. I recieved my MA in communication from the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania and my BA in journalism and biological aspects of conservation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the state where I was born and raised and remain a loyal cheesehead.
When I'm not writing about, researching or teaching journalism, I'm often running with my lovable but unruly labradors Sam and Pippi, watching Packer football, or enjoying a domestic macrobrew with my friends, from whom I've learned just as much as I ever have in school. I live in Midtown Memphis with my husband, Grant Smith, who is a freelance data journalist, avid fisherman and Web developer. You will frequently find his work at the Commercial Appeal in Memphis, among other places.

"I was sure I edited/submitted my personalized version. I requested the time portion read 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.; however, it arrived with '2 in the afternoon'. I can include the 8 p.m. part myself as there are time constraints and too many to return. Perhaps my somewhat lacking computer skills are to blame. I am very pleased with the quality of the paper and the envelopes."
"It's hard to find something elegant at a reasonable price. This card delivered both, and I found Tiny print to be very easy to work with. Will definitely be back!"
"We used twine and added some burgundy berries and hung them from our neighbor's doors. My sons got a huge kick out of ringing doorbells to watch our neighbors discover the invitation. So much warmer and fun than an email invite! What a way to start the holiday season off - the design is very chic too."
"All of us here in our office are quite pleased with how the invitations turned out. Thank you for getting them to us so quickly, too!"
"The paper is the best surprise -- it is thick and feels like a thin piece of wood panel. It makes the already cute card feel all the more substantial. LOVE it!"

Great gear...works well for PS3!
by KCENOTAPH on February 12, 2011
Pros: Comfortable...sound is excellent...mic is really sensitive..surround effect works well..
Cons: Lot of wires..but you can deal with it because you want the sound these headphones provide.
Summary: I wanted headphones for PS3 as I love to play BFBC2 and CODMW2...these headphones deliver. I wasn't really convinced any of the wireless sets were worth the money ...
Summary: I wanted headphones for PS3 as I love to play BFBC2 and CODMW2...these headphones deliver. I wasn't really convinced any of the wireless sets were worth the money and I was using some AKG ATH M50's for headphones...as you can imagine those had killer sound..even without surround they still had good directional dimensioning and clear crisp deep sound...no chat capability led me to look around for a headset that was capable of that...Turtle Beach for the most part makes good stuff and I can say this was a great purchase. I like to sit about 12-13 ft away from my 55'' tv and the AKG cord was only about 10ft...the DPX21 will allow up to 15ft range. Set up is easy if you have any familiarity with your game console and can follow instructions. The wires can be a bit cumbersome, but you'll get used to it. Having the controls for chat/game volume and the bass/surround effect at your fingertips is fantastic. The sound is excellent..good clarity and reasonably deep lows make it really immersive for any game.The ability to turn down the chat volume is a welcome feature..waaay too many people do not realize how sensitive their mics are and you are forced to listen to their kids screaming/ outdated annoying music choices/cro-magnon cursing..as well as the mouth breathers out there. The surround effect is cool, but most of the time just leave it off as it can overexpand the sound field and actually make it less accurate as far as locating sounds/footsteps etc..Experiment with it as this I'm sure is an individual taste feature..The head set itself feels very light and comfortable for longer game sessions..as for quality of build..I'd suggest handling it with reasonable care as it's not something I'd consider rock solid..Buy it and try it...I highly recommend it.

Summary: My wife bought me these and the Tritton AX Pro headphones to try for my birthday. I tried these first and I was impressed. I turned on Uncharted 2 multiplayer and you really can hear everything that goes on. I'm not convinced that they really improve your skills, but I was amazed at all of the music and sounds that I had never heard through the TV speakers. I've got a baby at home, which is why I got these instead of a surround system. The microphone works fantastic and it was really easy for me to differentiate other players talking at once, something I could never do through the TV speakers. Then I tried the Tritton AX Pros and they were good, just not as good as these. The sound on the AX Pros was just as good as these, but the volume and bass were weak plus the headphones felt stiff and cheap.
Get these - they're cheaper, louder and have really nice bass.

Very disappointed!
by sel1977 on May 16, 2012
Pros: Sound was great when they were first used.
Cons: I spent $150 for these at Best Buy and the game sound stopped working after 2 mos. Best Buy won't exchange them because it is over 30 days from time of purchase.
Summary: I will never purchase a Turtle Beach product again!

Great headset... for a few months anyway
by ryanlingle on December 12, 2011
Pros: 1. Great sound quality and cool surround effect
2. Adjustable boom mic is nice
3. Pretty comfortable for a few hours of gameplay
4. Separate settings for game and voice volume are extremely handy
Cons: 1. Feedback!
2. Gets a little uncomfortable during long gaming binges (perhaps a hint to go read a book?)
3. Cheap build--a small piece of something has broken off inside the headset
4. Headset no longer works after only 9 months
Summary: First off, I am very meticulous about the care and storage of my equipment. I enjoyed the headset for a while, but I noticed after a couple of months that ...
Summary: First off, I am very meticulous about the care and storage of my equipment. I enjoyed the headset for a while, but I noticed after a couple of months that a small piece had broken off inside the left ear, where the mic is connected, and it rattles when I move. I didn't mind much because it proved to be no serious problem.
The big problem is that I've only had the headset for 9 months, and the sound has suddenly stopped working. The mic still works, but no game volume can be heard. I've reset the whole setup, checked the volume settings, switched games, and still nothing. The headset has been stored carefully, never dropped, system settings have never changed. $130 is too much to pay for a headset that won't even work for a full year.
All in all, this headset is still recommended, as long as you hang on to your receipt/warranty info. Be prepared for a frustrating customer service experience should the same thing happen to you.
A horrible scam and a waste of money
by D41337 on December 18, 2011
Pros: None to think of
Cons: The USB port only supports up to 2 channel 48Khz Audio
The 3.5mm audio jack only supports 2 audio channels
The "DSS" actually degrades audio quality
It is physically impossible to receive true 7.1 surround sound audio
Summary: So today as a birthday present my parents gave me these...
I'm always on ventrilo, talking to my friends, and gaming so it only makes sense as up to ...
Summary: So today as a birthday present my parents gave me these...
I'm always on ventrilo, talking to my friends, and gaming so it only makes sense as up to this point the only thing I've ever used is a crappy mic that came with the rosetta stone software. So when I first received this present I thought it would be great; however, I was a little skeptical of the "Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound" the headset claimed to have. I've also come to consider myself a bit of an audiophile over the years of shoveling out hundreds of dollars on sound cards speakers and various cables and I was curious if the headset could live up to my expectations.
So when I first got them, as I said, I was a little skeptical but I took them back to my room I plugged them in and after messing with about 5 audio leveling dials I got everything working and was quite content. I looked at the windows audio settings and the microphone offers no higher/better sampling rate than that of the of the free mic that came with the rosetta stone software. Whatever, get on vent. I setup vent to use the headset. Now one of the things this headset does that seems pretty interesting is that it actually has 2 audio channels or two sets of speakers. It has one from the USB port and one from the 3.5mm audio jack that come with it. This enables you to listen to voice on one and have "Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound" on the other. In addition to this there is a little device that comes with the headset that goes in between the headset and the computer...
The dolby surround sound processor. And what does this due? "The Ear Force DSS 5.1/7.1 channel Dolby surround sound processor transforms any stereo analog headset into full, immersive surround sound" So to save more time writing this than I want to right now because I'm pissed off. Turtle beach fudgeed up, this doesn't work... and here's why.
The USB port that runs into the surround sound processor gives it power and then directly forwards whatever USB device is plugged into it into the computer. It's USB port serves no greater purpose that to act like a usb HUB and keep the slot that it takes up open. The only thing the "Dolby Surround Sound Processor" does is take whatever input you put into it and turn it into a 3.5mm analog signal with some "magic" in it. Now if you connect a 3.5mm stereo audio jack into this device, that's all fine and dandy. You just dropped the money on it's $89.95 USD (at the time of writing) price tag to throw some "magic" in your stereo signal. But if you're a stickler for audio quality; the best part is, if you plug a fully digital 7.1 optical toslink cable into this device (which it does support) you just payed $89.95 USD to degrade your FULLY DIGITAL SIGNAL into an ANALOG PIECE OF GARBAGE with some "MAGIC" sprinkled on top. So here's to Turtle Beach and Dobly (who allegedly made this device) making you ACTUALLY PAY THEM MONEY for this device that will degrade your audio signal/quality...
Now in the perfect world had turtle beach not fudgeed this up and done this right...
The USB cable would link to an actual USB sound card that does 7.1 surround sound processing and sends it directly to the headset via the headsets USB cable, since this crappy black "Dolby Surround Sound Processor" sits in between these two devices anyway, you might as well have a device that actually does something useful. And while that goes on, you would allow the 3.5mm audio jack to plug into the systems sound card and be assigned to be used for voice chat since voice is something that is usually handled through a mic (a mono input) and can be upscaled to a stereo input and no audio degradation occurs.
So the bottom line is, this is a giant scam and a giant wast of money for anyone who actually cares about audio quality. You will never get true 7.1 surround sound out of these and for everything the "DSS" does you might as well just buy the headphones (if you ever still want them, since I know I sure dont) I will be taking these back to the store shortly.

NEW ORLEANS — For much of this spring, outdoor lights have remained mostly swarm free.
The Formosan termites that typically haunt New Orleans late spring nights haven't shown themselves.
But while the respite has been a relief, don't expect this to mean this old city has escaped unscathed.
The recent cooler weather has merely pushed the activity to a later date.
"In the next few weeks," said Dr. Carrie Cottone, a research entomologist who heads the city's termite division. "I think as soon as it gets warmer. Typically this time of year we get really, really warm weather and it's a night after a good rain, that's when we typically see them, especially as the winds are calm."
Both Cottone and Dr. Claudia Riegel, the director of the New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board, said that while the cooler weather has kept the swarms from appearing, termites are still a problem.
In fact, both stressed that termites are active year round, just out of sight underground or in the wooden structures that make up the buildings of the city.
Termites thrive in warm, humid, calm areas, Cottone said, which New Orleans is beginning in April most years.
New Orleans has about 35 traps spread throughout the French Quarter, ones that have ensnared only a few termites so far this year.
In spite of the end to Operation Full Stop, a federally funded program that helped treat the French Quarter that finished its run in 2012, there are enough funds for the city to keep an eye on the pests. The money currently comes from the general fund and other work contracted by the Control Board, Riegel said.
"It's a pretty minor expense," Riegel said. "Just a few folks checking on a routine basis every couple of days, checking the sticky traps in the quarter."
From April 1 through July 1 – roughly termite swarm season – the city monitors those traps, baiting them in an attempt to help control the colonies. Termites, Riegel said, are a social insect that will share its food with others.
The bait has an active ingredient called a chitin synthesis inhibitor, which keeps the termite from molting.
The board can't rely on this cool snap to eliminate them.
In other words, enjoy it while you can. Sooner rather than later they'll be out, swarming around the lights.
"They haven't been bad this year but I have to say they haven't been bad yet," Cottone said. "They're still coming."

The fuel bowl screen and gasket are pretty common items, NAPA near me has them on the shelf.
Gas tank condition is highly variable, my (formerly) sorta rusty 50 has a minty clean one.... go figure.
Generally, the screen on the fuel bowl will catch most smaller stuff, you can see it in the bottom of the glass (sand etc). You may want to check the inlet and area around it inside the tank, bugs and other items can cause a problem.

This was our first cruise. It was for our honeymoon. There was 3 couples that went. We had an awesome time! The way the staff pampered us, and made us feel important was very impressive. The ship is beautiful. Full of plenty to do. Our dinner staff (Leo, Sheryl, Ivan, Amit) were one of the highlights of our cruise. They were so attentive, friendly, and fun! We did have noise issues in our room (2373). It is under the Galley, and there is banging, scraping, and thumping throughout the day and night. We didnt get much sleep! We all complained about this several times. Eventually we were offered ear plugs, and some compensation. The ear plugs did help some. The rooms are comfortable, and the cove balcony is fabulous.
Overall, this cruise was a complete success, and we look forward to cruising with Carnival again. Unfortunately the Dream wont be cruising out of Port Canaveral for much longer. We want to use Port Canaveral as our port, but we also want to go on a ship with cove balconies. Time will tell I guess.
**The entertainment on this cruise was excellent!

It was weird. It was awkward. Then again, when you're up against a fresh episode of "Scandal" on ABC at 10 p.m., you're likely to do anything to inch up ratings. After 24 hours of promos and social media missives about "Amanda's Special Message" to viewers, the longtime Fox 5 news anchor Amanda Davis returned to the airwaves Thursday night. To retire. On camera.
Davis has been off the air since last fall after a DUI arrest in Midtown, following a wrong way crash on Piedmont Avenue. Until Thursday night's announcement, it remained unclear what Fox 5 management would do with the much-beloved Atlanta news veteran and host of Fox 5's popular news segment "Wednesday's Child."
After teasing the segment for 13 minutes, Davis' co-anchor (and "TV husband") Russ Spencer told viewers, "Amanda Davis is here tonight." (Technically, though, she wasn't. Davis and company actually recorded the segment on Wednesday and I'm told that Davis was out of town Thursday when the message aired).
Looking red carpet ready in a red dress and matching lipstick, Davis, standing in front of the anchor desk, smiled and told viewers: "I have seen and heard and reported on stories from Bankhead to Buckhead to the White House. There have been awards, honors and accolades. There have also been challenges, disappointments and stumbles. But yea, though I walk through the valley, with God's help, I made it though. And that's what I want you to know. I am blessed. So, it is with a heavy heart that I announce I am officially retiring from Fox 5 as I look ahead to a new chapter in my life. So, with much love and appreciation, I say thank you for your love and support."
While many viewers anticipated an apology from Davis or perhaps an announcement about a return to the anchor desk, she did not directly refer to her DUI arrest. At points, the televised message felt forced and contrived, like it had been vetted by a team of lawyers. Still, in WAGA-TV's defense, it's rare in the TV news business for a station to green-light such a classy piece of closure for viewers.
Spencer and meteorologist Ken Cook then joined Davis on set to introduce send-off tributes recorded earlier this week from friend and former WSB anchor Monica Pearson, former Atlanta mayor and UN ambassador Andrew Young and V-103 morning man Ryan Cameron.
Reflected Pearson in an interview recorded at her home: "When I think of her, I think of 'Wednesday's Child.' In that feature, you saw a maternal instinct, you saw her warmth, you saw her compassion and you saw her love. She's a mom but she's a mom to everybody."
Young added: "We know her, we love her and she'll find a way to be involved. And we'll be right there to help her. My wife and I consider her a part of our family. We're proud of the work she's done in this city for so many years."
Concluded Cameron: "Atlanta has always loved you, Amanda. I've always been proud to call you a friend."
The nine-minute segment ended with a retrospective of Davis' career, including her coverage of Coretta Scott King's funeral and her interview with president-elect Barack Obama. While Davis still awaits a court date in her case, she plans to remain in Atlanta. She told viewers, "I'll still be in town so if you see me around, say hi."

Flitcroft: Chorley will be ready for Trophy tilt
Updated 2:49pm Wednesday 8th January 2014 in Sport
CHORLEY boss Garry Flitcroft says Saturday's massive FA Trophy trip to Tamworth holds no fears for his Magpies – and he wants to put a show on for the travelling army of fans who will head to the Midlands.
Chorley, who are chasing promotion from the Evo-Stik League Premier Division, go to the Skrill Premier strugglers in the third round of the most prestigious competition in non-league.
And former Blackburn Rovers midfielder Flitcroft is relishing the prospect of the last 16 tie as his men get ever closer to a dream appearance under the arch of Wembley.
"It's a huge tie and one I can't wait for," said Flitcroft.
"You want to be involved in matches like this and I know we can go and give a good account of ourselves."
Chorley beat big spending Skrill Premier outfit Forest Green in the last round as they travelled to New Lawn to dump out the full-timers on a penalty shoot-out after a 0-0 draw at Victory Park.
"I have had Tamworth watched and I have also seen them myself so we will go there prepared and knowing what to expect," added Flitcroft.
"We are taking more than 300 fans down there and I really hope we can put on a show for them."

Diner Reviews
I asked the waiter were the meat
came from and is 100% good old USA mid west states. No better than that in the whole world! I'm a well seasoned travel person, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand etc....the meat in Meat market is exceptional."
Dined on 8/26/2014
Most disappointing aspect was crab
cake appetizer. Could totally tell it was previously frozen and tasted like it as well. Going to a fancy restaurant such as this where bill will be $100 this is completely unacceptable. The ceviche appetizer was pretty good but again not blow your socks off. Sea bass was also pretty good and steak cooked exactly as requested. Panacotta was tasty, nice combination of a summer vanilla ice cream as well as cinnamon/nutmeg giving a tinge of fall. With other options to spend hard earned money this is probably near the bottom."
Dined on 8/24/2014
seating was a little close for
comfort inside, I felt like the table lext to me was overlapping me! We ordered off of the Miami Spice Menu, the selections were well, though there was only one dessert option. The menu is A la carte so the sides that accompnay the entree are ordered separtely and have a five dollar charge additional. The Salmon was cook perfect and literally slid from one piece to the next."

Great food, super friendly staff,
fun and upbeat ambiance. Really enjoyed my experience!"

Never disappointing. One of my
favorite spots in south beach and on Lincoln Rd. Good food and good service."

This was my second time visiting
Meat Market Miami (and my husband's third). We had a wonderful experience; every member of the staff who interacted with us was friendly, engaging, and dedicated to their job. (As we both worked in fine dining service this is something we take note of when we go out.) The food was overwhelmingly delicious. The menu is obviously geared toward meat lovers, but the kitchen is so flexible that I think even a vegetarian could happily eat here. Our requested server, Lucas, was just as fun as our last visit, managing that tricky balance of friendly interaction while providing spot-on service. Highlights: carpaccio, ceviche, Brussels sprouts (yes!), and of course the steaks! (And everything else.) YUM!"
Dined on 8/14/2014
Food at Meat Market always very
good. The Miami Spice Menu was good but dissapointing to see upcharges on a number of Miami Spice offerings."
Dined on 8/12/2014
Everything about Meat Market was
perfect. The ambiance and decor are great and the service is unlike any I have experienced in a while. Extremely knowledgeable staff, always there for whatever you may need but not constantly swarming. And the food is outstanding! Definitely will be back soon."
Dined on 8/10/2014
From start to finish was a great
meal! The waitstaff was attentive and gave great menu suggestions. Food was absolutely delicious. Pricey but well worth the cost!"
Dined on 8/9/2014
Service and food were outstanding.
Our waiter described their special steak that evening (bone in filet with marrow flown in from Chicago) so well we had to order it and were not dissappointed. It was delicious and the carmelized brussel sprots were amazing! We can't wait to go back!"
Dined on 8/9/2014
I dined at Meat Market for my
birthday lunch and it was awesome. The food was flavorful and fresh! Great atmosphere!"
Dined on 8/9/2014
First time in Meat Market, i had
stopped for an appetizer while my wife & daughters shopped and Jen (at bar) suggested the steak tartare, it was great along with good wine selection by glass. Went back late rthat night for dinner and it was even better. kids had the Miami Spice menu which was a bargain for what they served. their tuna tartare was amazing as well."
Dined on 8/6/2014
Great Miami Spice menu!
Everything was excellent! Have the Tuna Tartar and Chilean Seabass! A+++ food and service!"
Dined on 8/6/2014
My girlfriend and I attended Meat
Market to check out what they're offering for Miami Spice this year and we were not disappointed! We had a great tasting ribeye and a good filet (not as tasty as the ribeye). Also, we each got appetizers and dessert with the entrées for significantly less than we usually spend there. It's a great steak lovers destination and if you like saving a couple bucks while eating great, check out Meat Market during Miami Spice before it ends in September. Oh and try their Gouda tator tots! ...so good!"
Dined on 8/5/2014
Food was amazing. The cocktails
were great too. Best crispy Brussels sprouts I've had."
Dined on 8/3/2014
Enjoyed eating here. Ordered the
skirt steak. It was really good. I am very detail oriented so I noticed that our server did not go over all of the specials with us prior to our order but with other tables went over each and every special in detail and with much enthusiasm. Made me wonder why he choose not to review specials with my husband and I as we may have selected one of them which may have increased his gratuity. Besides this oversight in the service, the food was excellent, the drinks were great and I would recommend visiting this restaurant if you are in the mood for good food."
Dined on 8/1/2014
Been here twice. Great experience
both times. Will be back."
Dined on 7/29/2014
food is ok, but not worth the
prices. Service was good when compared to other South Beach restaurants"
Dined on 7/27/2014
My wife and I came here looking
for the best steaks in Miami, and we weren't disappointed. Our steaks were amazing, the sides were equally great, and our waiter was a very cool dude. Fun atmosphere too, similar to a Vegas restaurant. If you're thinking of going to Prime 112 or another of the notable high end steak joints, check this place out first..."
Dined on 7/24/2014
The service was impeccable. They
provide two waiters for each table. The servers were knowledgeable about wine and the menu. They constantly check to see if you need anything and are very friendly. The setting is very elegant and loungy but still kid friendly. My husband and I brought our 11 year old son. The food was amazing! The best dinner experience we have had in South Beach. Highly recommend the Sea Bass which melted in your mouth. My husband had the steak and loved it. Just a great experience and evening"
Dined on 7/23/2014
I ordered the crab and lobster
cakes for my appetizer. My date ordered the escargots. Both arrived perfectly prepared. I tried her escargots for the first time and discovered them to be quite tasty. My cakes melted in my mouth. Main courses were the meat samplers for each, prepared rare for the lady and medium for myself. Side dishes were asparagus (amazing), truffle mashed potatoes (Whipped and extremely flavorful) and brussel sprouts (which I didn't try, but she finished). The meat samplers were devoured handily. The sommelier paired a perfect red to accompany our meal (a Solocontigo)."
Dined on 7/21/2014
The staff is the best thing there.
Friendly funny and not hipocritical and stuffy. Very honest opinions about their food, we appreciated that. The food however is overpriced, my steak had lots of fatty tissue on it. Ambience is fun, very vibrant the hostess and the waitresses are very friendly."
Dined on 7/19/2014
I read many reviews and the photos
of the interior were beautiful so we went to check it out. The servers were nice but to be honest the food was very disappointing at best. I would have thought with the name "Meat Market" there would have been a focus on having an amazing piece of meat, but my filet mignon was not even close to what I would have expected. I would not return to this restaurant nor would I recommend it to anyone."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Brought along some high-end
Bordeaux. Sommelier was friendly and accommodating. Great food, svc and a hip scene."

Very uncomfortable for two

Love my dinning experience at this
amazing steakhouse! Filet mignon was cooked perfectly! The wedge salad was so delicious.. We will definitely go back to this great restaurant."
Dined on 7/10/2014
The place did not advise that they
had a no shorts policy. The only place on Lincoln Road with such a policy. Left there went to Smith & Wollensky got seated and had a great steak. Policy should be communicated at the time of booking."
Dined on 7/5/2014
Meat Market mixes South America
Steak with Japanese menu. We were on steak and it was very good. Plenty of Antipasto options as we'll main and side dishes. But all of these choices has its cost. Be careful with wine list that could cost easely $200 for an average wine. When hear "we have some out of menu dishes" be alert!! Ask the price, serving size, and everything you need to know before ordering. Overall it is a good choice for meat lovers."

Great restaurant on Lincoln Road -
not a tourist trap!!"
Dined on 6/18/2014
I've been here many times and it's
always great. The food is prepared wonderfully and the staff (Hey Idy!) is on their game at all times. It's a little on the pricey side, but worth it if you're looking to treat yourself or someone else to a fantastic dinner."
Dined on 6/14/2014
One of the best steaks I've ever
tasted. We split the new york strip (rare) and it was delicious, tender and beautifully seasoned. Started with the ceviche of the day and the tuna, both excellent. Good creamed spinach (although thought the addition of bacon a bit over the top). The french fries were amazing, seasoned with paprika and sugar I think, very addictive. Couldn't manage desserts."
Dined on 6/11/2014
The Service was attentive. However
The steak was a bit over charcoiled on the outside. As per the starters the tuna tarter missed some tortilla chips (two are rather insufficient) and the wagyu carpaccio and empanada duet being outstanding by itself should have an even number of empanadas (when you're sharing)"
Dined on 6/11/2014
My party and I chose this place
with no prior knowledge of what it had to offer. We were pleasantly surprised that all elements from the food to the service to the ambience far exceeded our expectations. We definitely plan to revisit when we return to Miami!"
Dined on 6/7/2014
The service at this location was
excellent. We had reservations, and we were seated promptly at a nice table in the middle of the restaurant. We had two servers being attentive to us all night. Our glasses were not empty for longer than a minute throughout the night. In my opinion, the food was not good. We had the escargot as our appetizer, which was delicious! Then we had filet mignons(medium), baked potato, and grated potatoes. The food was not tasty, and the meat was not tender either. The house drinks were ok. Later we opted to continue with red wine. Overall, the service was impeccable, the establishment was very nice, however the food was not up to par. I can't recommend and I hardly doubt I'll return."
