I'm glad Tony Orth pointed out recently that the Willits bypass is not for Willits. That is certainly clear when you read CalTrans' purpose of the project, which is "to reduce delays, improve safety, and achieve a "Level of Service C" for interregional traffic on US 101".
That is interregional traffic, folks. It does very little for local or regional traffic.
Caltrans has been coming to town for decades selling people on the benefits to our town.
By now I hope it is becoming clearer to people that for Willits, the benefits are far outweighed by the harm headed our way. Harm to our local economy, to City of Willits revenue, to the farmland surrounding us-which could be better used to grow food-and harm the peace and rural character we all enjoy.
This struggle to balance local/regional with interregional needs is not new to California. In the 1950s, the Department of Transportation was furiously building freeways both in large metropolitan areas and interregionally to connect them. In 1956, the San Francisco Chronicle published a map of the proposed and actual freeway routes through San Francisco. This map so galvanized the public that protest gained momentum and eventually succeeded, becoming known as the great "freeway revolt". Parts of the Embarcadero Freeway were eventually torn down.
Other cities and even other countries followed suit. However, there is still a constant push to spend money on interregional projects while the needs of the local come last.
Instead of putting this eyesore through our valley, Willits and the county could just as easily put their resources into a solution to the Willits bottleneck. That solution would not only benefit Willits but also other parts of the region, like Fort Bragg, which is served mainly by Highway 20.
The struggle for priorities has gone on so long, in so many parts of the state, that in the 1990's a number of bills were passed. Senate Bill 45, passed in 1997 (the State Transportation Improvement Program, or STIP) was specific: only 25 percent of the funding was for CalTrans to prioritize as it sees fit. Seventy-five percent of the funds were designated for County Councils of Governments (COGs) to use as they see fit. This money could have funded local projects or it could even have been dedicated to a Willits bypass whose purpose was to place local needs first.
So why would the Mendocino Council of Government (MCOG) immediately give two rounds of funding back to CalTrans for a bypass that was just an interregional project? It could have been used to solve the bottleneck in Willits with careful in-town circulation improvements and a modest two-lane parkway that could serve the movement of local traffic as well as through traffic.
I think Tony's description of these funds being state funds intended for the state highway system is a misconception that has not only been widespread but promoted by the staff at MCOG.
The verbiage in SB45 is pretty clear. It reads that the funds controlled by the COG's are to be used for "transportation improvement projects that are needed to improve transportation within the region. The projects may include, but shall not be limited to, improving state highways, local roads, public transit, intercity rail, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and grade separation, transportation system management, transportation demand management, soundwall projects, intermodal facilities, and safety." I think this covers everything from filling potholes to "complete streets," which are the fancy tree-lined pedestrian-friendly downtowns.
Maybe in 1998 MCOG was unprepared to produce a bunch of projects ready for funding. But then CalTrans' interregional project wasn't exactly ready for funding either. Holding these funds for CalTrans all these years has meant that local improvements that could have been built by local contractors were not even designed. And every year those funds can buy less.
But missing this chance to fund the transportation improvements that help us first is not the biggest waste. The fact that the state itself would squander $300 million for a mere 8000 vehicles per day is really obscene. A four-lane freeway the size of I-5 is designed to carry around 40,000 vehicles a day and only reaches its capacity at 80,000 vehicles per day.
This is an extreme waste of money. If you want to see what 8,000 vehicles a day looks like check out a picture from the webcam that has been placed one-mile north of Willits and takes a picture every hour and posts it on the CalTrans website (video.dot.ca.gov). At the same time the Natural Resources Defense Council estimates there is a $300 billion shortfall on maintenance to the transportation systems in California. This is the real need.
On the North Coast our mountains are steep, the soil is prone to slides and our rivers are impaired by sediment. A history of logging and now rural living using the same old roads continues the downward slide of the hills into the waters.
CalTrans should maintain existing bridges, culverts and roadways rather than building new, outsized freeways where they aren't needed. They would spend much less money putting local needs first, while improving interregional movement as a side benefit.

The Women's Business Development Center (WBDC) is celebrating 27 years of great progress for women and women and minority owned businesses. But…On June 10, 1963, President John Kennedy signed into law the Equal Pay Act, which sought to end wage discrimination on the basis of sex. In 1963 women were paid 59 cents for every dollar earned by men. Now in 2013 we still have a long way to go to achieve parity. Women earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. For women of color, the gap is even wider. For men of color, the gap is enormous. And unfortunately, parity is still a long-term goal for women and minority owned businesses.
For the first time, women constitute a majority of the U. S. workforce. More than 60 percent of all women now work full-time. Women and minority owned businesses are now the majority of businesses in the U.S.! However, the revenues of 80 percent of all businesses in the U.S. are under $500,000. More than 90 percent of all women and minority owned businesses are in that category.
Internationally, the United Nations has put a spotlight on stimulating GDP in developing countries by channeling more programmatic funds to women.
The horizon is looking brighter at the federal, state and local levels. The U. S. Small Business Administration is committed to and implementing an expanded 5 percent contracting goal for women business enterprises for every federal agency.
In Illinois, Governor Pat Quinn signed into law a bill amending the Illinois Equal Pay Act and expanded the power of the Illinois Business Enterprise Council to ensure women and minority businesses will have significant access to contracts and subcontracting opportunities with the state of Illinois and all its state agencies and institutions including state colleges and universities.
In Cook County, President Preckwinkle and the Cook County Commissioners have increased the goals for women and minority businesses in all county agencies. Plus, monitoring and compliance are enhanced and new initiatives on bonding and insurance are being implemented.
In the city of Chicago, new and increased resources expedite W/MBE certification and commitment to contract compliance is enhanced, city sister agencies are on board to expand business opportunities for women and minority business enterprises and new initiatives are being implemented to provide more prime contracting opportunities.
For business and job creation in the U.S. the case for diversity is clear and uncompromising. Corporate America is committed to strengthening its relationships and to sustain and increase market share with women and people of color as consumers of their goods and services and also as employees, vendors and suppliers.
In part two of Parity and Diversity, I'll dive deeper into the corporate aspects of equality.

Your child and vision impairment - first steps
Finding out that your child has a vision impairment is often unexpected and can be worrying. This section explains who can help you and your child.
Coming to terms with your child's eye condition
There's no "normal" response to finding out your child has a sight condition - different people respond in different ways. There is a lot of support available to help you come to terms with the diagnosis, and continue to support and enjoy your child's growth and development into a young person and adult. A good first step when you find out that your child has a vision impairment is to make sure you have access to all of the information and support that is available.
Information resources to support families of children with a vision impairment
Early Support is the government initiative to provide information and support to families of children with disabilities. RNIB has developed the Early Support information materials relating to blind and partially sighted children.
You can find out more on the Council for Disabled Children's (Early Support) website, it gives wide-ranging advice about all aspects of raising a child with a vision impairment. They cover home life, learning life skills and developing independence, education provision including assessment, "Statementing" and the various ways that children and young people are supported in schools. There are booklets about a range of generic issues to do with having a child with a disability, and four specific booklets about vision impairment that are specific to the age of the child or young person. Download information booklets from the Early support website.
Early Support also produce Developmental Journals, which can be used by families and the professionals working with children to celebrate and document their progress and suggest helpful play and learning activities. There is a specific Developmental Journal for babies and children with vision impairment available on their website too . Your Qualified Teacher of (children with) Vision Impairment (QTVI) is likely to introduce you to the Developmental Journal and work with you on using it, download the Developmental Journal for babies with vision impairment.
People who can support families of children with vision impairment
There could be a lot of people involved in the care of your child, especially if he or she has any additional difficulties or disabilities. Our Who does what in eye care? A guide for parents explains whar the different professionals do and how they can help. Regarding vision impairment, there are some key contacts who can make sure that you have access to all of the information and support that you need:
Action for Blind People Children and Families Service
Our partner, Action for Blind People, has a network of Children & Families Support Co-ordinators in England who provide a range of services to blind and partially sighted children and their families. This service includes information and advice, and a programme of regular and one-off activities and events. They run Actionnaires clubs which meet regularly to provide leisure and social opportunities for children with vision impairment and their siblings. See the activity calendar for more information. A similar service is provided in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland by RNIB.
Specialist teachers
Your Local Authority should have at least one Qualified Teacher of (children with) Vision Impairment (QTVI) to work with you and your child both at home and at school. QTVIs work as part of Local Authority specialist teaching services, sometimes called "The VI Service" or "Sensory Impairment Service". QTVIs work on a "visiting" or peripatetic basis, having a caseload of children and young people that they visit regularly in home and/or at school. These are teachers who have additional qualifications and experience in working with blind and partially sighted children.
This is an important contact, and the referral should be made automatically by the Eye Clinic when your child is diagnosed with a vision impairment.
At an early stage, ask your Local Authority to put you in contact with a QTVI if you are not already. They will support you and your child as soon as an eye condition is suspected or diagnosed (they support babies from birth if appropriate). If you have difficulty getting help, or need the details of the specialist teacher in your area, contact the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999.
Counselling, emotional and peer support for families of children with vision impairments
If your emotions are causing you difficulties in any way, contact our Emotional Support Service, which offers confidential support, information and counselling. There are many local societies for people who have a visual impairment. It is worth getting in touch with them to find out if they have any activities for children and families. Phone the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or search the Sightline Directory. Also, VICTA's family support network, Through Scarlett's eyes is there to support families with visually impaired children.
Rare conditions
If your child has a rare syndrome or a particular condition which may affect more than their vision, get in touch with Contact a Family – they can put you in touch with support groups for people and families affected by particular eye conditions such as albinism, retinoblastoma, nystagmus or retinitis pigmentosa. They provide ongoing support to rare condition groups and to answer enquiries on eye conditions. An A-Z of eye conditions is available on the Contact a Family Website and there are also details of how to contact specific support charities for different conditions. Telephone helpline: 0808 808 3555 (Mon-Fri). See our short list of support groups for rare eye conditions.

The Chateau d'Estoublon is located on the southern slopes of the Alpilles mountain range, near the village of Fontvieille. It lies within the geographical territory defined as the Appellation d'Origine controlee Vallee des Baux de Provence. The history of the estate, sometimes peaceful, often marked by war, conflict, and successive frosts, is closely linked to the history of the Vallee des Baux de Provence itself, where the estate is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding sites.
The Estoublon olive orchards cover 48 hectares (approximately 118 acres), divided into 12 different parcels. The olive groves contain approximately 6,700 olive trees with 5 different varieties of olive, Bouteillan, Grossane, Salonenque, Béruguette and Picholine. Each variety of olive is harvested by hand, separately so each one is picked at its optimal level of ripeness. The harvest starts in November and ends during January. Then the Estoublon olives are crushed and pressed individually for the best results and each of the varietal oils are stored in separate tanks until it is time for bottling or blending to obtain the estate's signature A.O.C. Extra Virgin Vallee des Baux Oil.
This oil radiates a beautiful intensity of color with a very slight opacity and a lovely bouquet. It has a mild nose, combining almond and green apple, with a sweeter note of watermelon. On the palate, the Estoublon blend is beautifully intense. The attack is unctuous, mild, and fresh while the dry matter present throughout the entire tasting provides good balance. Retro-olfactory hints of freshly-cut grass, that finish on a slightly pungent note. This oil will become extremely fragrant on hot dishes and smooth and round when used to finish cool dishes.

Yeah, I'm a music critic now. What about it?
During the freestyle rapping, there was increased activity in an area of the brain that is responsible for motivation of thought and action (called the medial prefrontal cortex).

White Sox are blessed with options if Addison Reed struggles at closer
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com February 24, 2013 11:23PM
Sox closer Addison Reed works the ninth inning for a save of the Chicago White Sox 2-1 win over the New York Yankees Wednesday August 22, 2012 at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: February 24, 2013 11:43PM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — It's always good to have a backup plan, especially when it comes to the ninth inning.
White Sox closer Addison Reed converted 29 of 33 save opportunities as a closer during his rookie season last year. That .880 percentage — which ranked ninth in the American League — will keep him in the closing business. The 29 saves, which ranked seventh, were the most ever by a Sox rookie.
His 4.75 ERA might not fly, however, and while nobody is freaking out too much about that number — knowing his ERA in non-save situations (6.20) fattened it up — manager Robin Ventura has some comfort knowing he has options in a reasonably deep bullpen if Reed goes through a sophomore slump.
"Yeah, absolutely,'' said 33-year-old Matt Lindstrom, a free-agent acquisition who has 45 major-league saves in his career. "That's the great thing about how our bullpen projects. You have Addison with his experience from last year, and everybody down there — with the exception of Nate Jones — has some closing experience. That gives us that much more of an opportunity to be used in any situation.''
Matt Thornton has 23 career saves and Jesse Crain has four. Left-hander Hector Santiago, who is stretching out for spot-starting and longer relief work, saved four after being named the Opening Day closer last season. Lefty Donnie Veal saved his opportunity last season. Hard-throwing right-hander Jones (2.39 ERA) played a key role for a pen that posted a 3.75 ERA with nine rookies contributing.
"So we're going to mix and match down there,'' Lindstrom said Sunday. "We have the arms to get it done. It's exciting for us.''
Lindstrom saved five for the Florida Marlins in 2008, 15 more in '09 and 23 for the Houston Astros in '10. So he has the mentality to handle it.
"It's definitely a different feel with your teammates depending on you to get those last three outs for the win,'' he said.
"It's cool, but you have to keep that even keel. It's a long season and it's not like football on a Sunday where you have five days to think about the win. You have to get back the next day and forget about it whether it went good or bad. You need that flush-the-toilet mentality.''
Reed, who closed in college and the minors and has always wanted to do nothing else but close, has that mind-set.
"I know blown saves are going to happen,'' he said.
This spring, Reed is working on locating his fastball, and he's trying a new changeup with an off-center four-seam fastball grip.
"I messed around with it in the offseason, trying to get more comfortable with the grip,'' Reed said. "It seems to be working well. I feel more comfortable with it every time I throw it.''
Having close to a full season of closing puts him well ahead of where he was last spring.
"I know what it takes to stay healthy and stay competitive for a full season,'' Reed said. "It was huge learning all the hitters and their tendencies.''
Bringing that ERA down is a goal.
"Definitely,'' he said. "The ERA was a little high but it's going to happen. I had a few rough spots, something to learn from.''
Lindstrom likes what he's seen from Reed so far.
"He's got great ability,'' Lindstrom said. "And his mechanics, throwing across his body is very deceptive. He got the job done last year.''
And if he happens not to this year, there's always Plan B. Or C.
"Robin has great stuff down there,'' Lindstrom said.

My sister is learning PSE (6, I think) and every time she drags an element into her document, it brings a white background with it, even though the original embellishment document is a .png and shows a transparent background. It has happened with several different designers kits. I'm not terribly familiar with PSE, but can't help thinking it must be some kind of setting.
Can anyone help? TIA!

It's foggy. And rainy. And Cliff Lee still hasn't signed anywhere. So it's the perfect day to be nostalgic. I was looking through my New York photos from October and found this one:
One of my favorite parts of baseball is when relievers- especially closers- come up to bat. So I pulled out my iPod and took a picture of Brian batting in the NLCS, against Philly. (Correct me if I'm misremembering and it was against Atlanta.) It was such a fun moment and high-tension series. In a way, I think beating Philly was more of a triumph than beating Texas. And I think the photo's kind of great. The Beard + Batting Helmet.
Now that I've gotten the nostalgia over with, it's time to sit back and wait for Cliffy to sign. With the Rangers, of course. And he will decide a six year deal is better than a nine year deal any day. Positive affirmations, only!
Who else is kind of diggin' the sunglasses?

Can't seem to find this game anywhere. Totally out of stock. Are FFG working on a reprint?
Base game unavailable
Posted 23 March 2009 - 01:08 AM
Posted 23 March 2009 - 01:13 AM
Got my base game only last week. My local game store chain has/had it still in stock (in Finland).
"A dirty mind is its own reward."
Posted 08 October 2009 - 12:31 PM
anything new here??
Posted 10 October 2009 - 06:37 AM
Go to google.com, enter "lord of the rings board game" then go to "Shopping" link.
You should find many online USA shops selling LOTR board game. Delivery from most of them is world wide.
Posted 08 November 2009 - 07:32 AM
Though most US stores will show up as available from a Google search, when you the link to the store itself, they all say "out of stock". The few that are still selling them are charging more than retail, since the word is out that it is currently out of print. The eBay price is way up since 6 months ago. FFG should really reprint this soon if they plan on selling any more expansions.
Posted 09 November 2009 - 03:36 AM
coo - lucky I got my copy from ebay for £5 (pre-owned but unopened) a few months ago...
the game could do with something of an update in the graphics design department (the actual Howe artwork is amazing of course), but I guess we'd be lucky just to get a reprint
Posted 03 February 2010 - 01:17 AM
I managed to pick up a used (but good condition aparently) base game for 99p on ebay. I look forward to playing, I don't have many coops.
Posted 06 March 2010 - 09:13 AM
alansa said:
Agreed. The Howe art is fantastic, but the rest of the game is VERY lackluster in comparison to the rest of FFG's graphic design layout since this game was originally published.
I really dont think a simple reprint would do, and I would bet that FFG feels the same way. Their current product line makes this game look shabby in comparison. I have a feeling that FFG would prefer to update it so that it reflects better on the image of the company.
That and the rulebook is in drastic need of revision because it is one of the most horrible rulebooks ever. its there to teach new players how to play.
It fails. Utterly.
Posted 10 March 2010 - 01:21 AM
Well the game wasn't actually produced by FFG. They just had the US distribution rights. (in the UK it was Hasbro)
The game was produced by Sophisticated games in the UK. Same people who did Beowulf the Legend and Middle Earth Quest.
Beowulf was another Knizia-Howe game. The graphics design was much better than LotR though not quite as good as FFG's.
I guess it would be up to Sophisticated to produce another edition, with some prompting from FFG. Or Sophisticated hand the production work for a new edition over to FFG.
Posted 11 March 2010 - 08:42 PM
Sophisticated Games still list the game as for sale on their website - International P&P is a standard option.
Posted 30 March 2010 - 07:02 AM
I've had a hard time finding it locally too.
Posted 23 April 2010 - 05:40 AM
I have found 1 website that lists it for double what FFG listst it for! i'd like to try this game but man, not at that cost. Guess I'll keep looking or hope for a reprint. Just reading these posts the graphics seem to be "old?". Let's hope FFG will revamp and reprint.
Posted 06 May 2010 - 02:41 AM
Just to be clear, the graphics are poor. (Symbols, text etc). But the John Howe artwork (the backgrounds on the boards and the central images on the cards) is very hight quality.
Posted 11 June 2010 - 05:51 AM
I own the german edition and I quite like the "retro"-style of it. But of course, should there ever be a new edition I'd stand in line to get it, I'm sure.
Posted 21 June 2010 - 12:25 PM
New "Silver Line" edition just announced; check out the homepage. Not sure I could go back to non-F&F playing, though...
Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup...
Posted 21 June 2010 - 12:31 PM
I wonder if the expansions will be released for the silver line scale.
Posted 21 June 2010 - 10:36 PM
Ooooo! Much improved graphics. This is more like it.
I knew there must have been something going on.
I take it the board and cards are smaller, some the reason as to why the expansions are incompatible. That's ok, I love small compact formats.
I'll wait till they do the Sauron expansion though (fingers crossed) as that's they way we prefer to play it. Not so fussed about F&F and Battlefields
Posted 29 June 2010 - 06:19 AM
I think Battlefields is, by far, the best of the expansions, and I rarely want to play LOTR without that, anymore. So here's hoping they will release the expansions in this new format.
Posted 28 December 2010 - 08:59 AM
So...Silver Line Games is made by FFG - yes? Is it just a different brand under the parent company? I also looked at the store and there seemed to be expansions for the game - but not available, and there was no mention about them being SLG - so I'm assuming these expansions are not compatable with the SLE?

As Patricia would say ....
A bit corny, but a decent light-hearted romp nonetheless. Acting and cast very good; kibitzing clever; video quality good. One watch was enough, those of us who returned from VietNam might see into this perhaps more than some others, but all in all a good film.

The Man Who Walked Alone
My secretarial teacher always said "be brief and to the point!" It was enjoyable.
ghostmadl -
Thoroughly enjoyed it
I enjoyed the movie- and who can't adore O'Brien. Screwball comedy, somewhat slow to start but once it did.... it was really good. I always enjoy the haughty being brought back to reality and a strong man that can do it. :)
Kay Aldridge looks like "Girl of my dreams". If I would be on place of Dave O'Brien, I would never balk but immediately fulfil every her desire, though IRL I am head shorter and many times weaker as Kay, who was really tall and strong girl. Dave O'Brien is 6'3" and Kay is just a bit shorter (at least 6'). I can reach only to Kay's shoulders.
But my will is more important, than my possibilities. It would be such a team job of repairing the car. She's very affectionate, thoughtful and loving girl and always ready to help me, when I can't make smth. Working with her would be a pleasure. I help her, she helps me. Working together unites people. I can't understand, why smb. calls me "groveling". She is very tender-hearted, gracious, helpful girl and will never diminish a man who LOVES her. Also by such a job as repairing a car four hands are always better, than only two. And I canNOT all the same repair so big car without help of much stronger person. At sample, my strength is not enough turn some screw (here "screw" means nothing as "rotary fastener") So WE NEED EACH OTHER, even when I can't "provide anything". And it means LOVE. Love is never "grovel". Love such a beauty is the biggest happiness on the earth.
IRL this insolent man would be banned by her and she would give her love to ME. She would also reject this "Dark Moon" even when he would stay on knees before her. And of course, Kay Aldridge, who can even pilot an airplane, knows how to block a front wheels and how to preserve tights by kneeling on asphalt - just lay a newspaper. Kay Aldridge is same clever as beautiful. Beauty goes often TOGETHER with brains.
Then she would give me a ride. I'll admire her, looking on her beautiful face, so beautiful as most beautiful flower on the earth She'll smile me and say me many heartly words. Her loving smile warms the cockles of my heart and even burst blossoms. She is beautiful good fairy! I can lean my head on her shoulder. She'll stroke my head with her pretty hand. Or bury my nose into her pretty cheek. Life is bad, when no cheek needs your nose.
After our ride, when we step out of car, she'll fold me to her breast and kiss the crown of my head. My love is totally unselfish. Enough is just to see her and admire her. Our love is pure, empyrean, chaste, without any carnal. Even when she would marry other man, my love would continue - she would yet grace this world with her beauty, virtue and goodness. And her tender loving heart would still have place for me. Nobody can love such a way now.
But stop, it's damned real world and I have same chances to meet such a beautiful girl, as meet UFO from other star (where possible such girls still exist). And I have seen neither so beautiful and chaste girls, nor UFOs for my 35 years of life. And will NEVER SEE.
Even in her times Kay Aldridge was often miscasted and reduced to second roles, possibly due to her 6' height. It was too hard to find her male partner, who would be any more taller. What a stupid stereotype! Why can't be love between 5'6" short boy and 6' tall girl?
Also Kay knows very well, what is pure, innocent, empyreal love and also enjoyed it. After filming of Nyoka she have received thousands of letters from her little fans - 12, 10 even 6 years boys. They all declared LOVE to her. Sometimes their love declarations were yet clumsy - at sample "you sure can fight good", but she enjoys such compliments more than any platitudinarian words from adult hard-boilde men. She's very perceptive lady and her tender soul can feel warmth of child's loving heart. I bet, every of this boys would help Kay, to repair her car WITH THE GREATEST PLEASURE! It's their BIGGEST DREAM. Every of this little boys imagined, how he places the jack, holds a new wheel, how he helps her!
"You sure can fight good" - yes, these boys are right! Kay is very tall and strong girl. By filming of "Nyoka" she have injuried two stuntmen (also tough and strong boys - no sissies) in fights. In her school years she protected weaker boys against bullies, using her advantages in height and strength. Her tender, perceptive, affectionate soul can't suffer, when smb. got bullied. Later, by making of "Nyoka" she have recovered her most epic battles from school years and forgot that it's just a movie and she must only imitate fighting.
In my teens I was also bullied by my male classmates and so dreamed about tall and strong girl, who would protect me from bullies. Occasionally, she looked like Kay - same 6'1" tall, same fresh, innocent, naive face, same round cheeks and loving smile. Of course, I have never met her. And will never meet:(

Dark Moon -
Not with a whimper
(Irony alert: The following review contains cynical, satirical commentary on the relative statuses of our two human species, and is not meant to be taken literally as this reviewer's assertion concerning what our statuses are or ought to be.)
I guess "bangs" are in the eye of the beholder, and this beholder saw more of a "bang" in the beginning than did one of the other reviewers. We start out with David O'Brien as "Marion" (pronounced "Marian," but definitely not a librarian), who is standing at the roadside and trying to hitch a ride into town. Another reviewer mentioned It Happened One Night; unfortunately, though, Marion doesn't have Claudette Colbert with him to show some leg and bring traffic to a screeching halt. No, he's just a man, y'see (no one gives a rat's derriere for one of those, doncha know), so he has to be a good soldier and risk his life for a ride by standing out in the middle of the road and forcing the issue.
The person he finally challenges to either stop or run him over (Kay Aldridge) winds up running her car off the road and up an embankment to avoid hitting him. (Lucky guy—had this been a 1970's or later film, she most likely would have kept going and left him a smear on the pavement.) This is a sufficiently large "bang" to blow one of her tires, so now "Willie" (Kay) has to stop and deal with the situation, which incidentally includes Marion.
Naturally, everything is automatically Marion's fault. How dare he presume upon anyone for a little help, for a ride into town! After all, men are supposed to provide everything, and certainly not to ask for anything, right? This is an expanded version of the common film "cliché" where boy meets girl on the sidewalk by slamming into each other at a blind corner, having not seen each other coming from opposite directions; just as naturally, it is his fault every time (and that is no cliché; I've seen it happen in Real Life more than once).
However, Marion is no spineless whimp who wants nothing more than to grovel at the feet of the "GIRL OF MY DREAMS," so he responds to her stream of vituperation by parking himself on top of a split-rail fence and watching her attempt to change the tire for herself. When she blames him for ruining a pair of irreplaceable nylons, we are reminded that this film was made during the war (WWII), when many essentials (such as nylon stockings) were rationed or entirely unavailable.
When her car falls off the bumper jack for the third time (she didn't know to block the front wheels), he pitches in to help, after securing from her an agreement to give him a ride into town, in exchange. (Boy, what a guy has to do to save some shoe leather—not to mention saving a half-healed injury…) At this point I found myself smirking cynically, expecting her to zoom off as soon as he popped on the hub cap, and so she would have if she could've got her engine started before he managed to climb in the car. Then he showed us (both "Willie" and I) how much farther ahead of the game he was by dangling her keys in front of her eyes, declaring that he wasn't about to take any chances on her. (Once again, we are reminded of a time gone by, when the starter button and ignition switch were two separate items on the dashboard of a car. Pushing the button would crank the engine, but it couldn't start without the key in the ignition switch.)
Hopefully, that lengthy description will whet your appetite for seeing the rest of the film. :) Two interesting themes run through it: Marion frequently encourages Willie to grow a backbone and live her own life (and she apparently does need some encouragement, though she is devious and headstrong already), while her family nearly succeed in pressuring her into conformity. The other is that a highly decorated war hero is preferable to an egotistical and self-serving politician. Neither love nor friendship can truly develop in the absence of respect; we see the former two blossom as Willie discovers Marion's character and status, and her regard for him grows.
Like Karen, I found Willie's younger sister to be an interesting character, particularly in her relationship to Mom. True to her species, she is growing up very fast, but is too young yet to have developed any subtlety. Naturally, she sees right through her Mom's Drama Queen histrionics, which she constantly ridicules as "corny." She particularly enjoys the grief her Mom experiences at the use of that vulgarism, and her Mom's inability to find a suitable rejoinder. When Mom is finally delighted to find something that bursts her daughter into tears, a misplaced repair splice in the film prevents us from hearing what it was. But we still get the idea (and you know how life imitates art) that the wimmin don't save up the snarky comments just for their men-folk, and how young girls hone their tongues to the fine, razor edge that is the envy of the world's best cutlery makers.
I am not quite sure of the title's relevance to the film, but it certainly does reflect the male condition in this and many other societies, where most men really are fated to walk alone, even in the middle of family and friends. It is a fatal disease, this loneliness.
I hated the beginning of this film for the buttons it pushed, but stuck it out to see if Willie drove off and left Marion in the dust as I had forecast. Not only did I find a funny screwball comedy on the other side of that scene, but also lots of subtle commentary on human nature, and a snapshot of life in America, in the midst of WWII.

Who was the "Big Boy?"
Interesting that Dave O'Brien was 6'3" while Guinn (Big Boy) Williams was 6'2", yet Williams towered over O'Brien in the garage "fight." I suppose Big Boy wore elevator shoes.
Anyway, I found the flick to be entertaining. Yes, the synch was a little off (Cinepack 632 MB), but it was hardly noticeable.
The acting (script, really) was awfully "serendipitous," with the principals relying unbelievably on Karma and Fate to fulfill their dreams and desires. Most men would have been falling all over themselves to know that woman! Most women would have been in a panic if they had met the man of their dreams on their wedding day.
The supporting cast boasted numerous talented character actors, most of whom weren't challenged by the script.
Worth watching.

He walked into the Time of His Life
This movie starts out without a bang, but builds momentum of interest and delight. There are many witty things said that I didn't have time to absorb the first time but the second view I got it all in better and enjoyed it more each time I watched it. Its better the second time.
I particularly liked the scene were the mother pushes the young daughter away and says "You irratate me!". This movie seems dull at the very first but only gets better and more clever as it goes. This is a winner.

Love exists
Kay Aldridge starred in some move serials of 1940's. I've been married to #1 for 52 years. IMO young women today are too thin & look anemic. I prefer a woman who is short, chubby & zaftig like Moscow 1945.

A really terrific romance film with a really fun story!
Don't miss this one. I normally don't like romance stories, but this one is so well done, it ranks up there with 'My Man Godfrey' and 'It Happened One Night' for wit and charm. Watch it, you will love it!

A bit too "corny" for my tastes...
...but not the worst movie experience I have ever had.
A well made P.R.C picture. I give the plot 3 stars, the acting 3 stars, and the storyline 3 stars.
I give it a total of 5 stars, to mitigate the ill effects of the poo flinging primate.

Audio synch
In the box labelled "Play/Download" you'll see 4 video files listed:
512Kb MPEG4 (294.3 M)
Ogg Video (306.3 M)
Cinepack (556.3 M)
Cinepack (632.9 M)
The first 2 listed were generated by the Archive; the last 2 were uploaded.
To watch one of those files you can right-click on it with the mouse and save it to the hard drive (that's the best way), or you can right-click on it and copy the link address and then paste it into whatever video-playing program you want to use.
If the file that you watch seems to have bad audio synchronization, then specify which file you watched when you write your review, and also specify what program you used to watch the movie. If you watched the film in your web browser, then indicate that.
In any case, don't give the movie a rating that's based on your bad experience with one of the files that the Archive derived from the uploaded file or that's based on the inability of inferior software to play one of the files correctly.
I watched the first part of all 4 files using both VLC and mplayer. The audio is properly synchronized with the video in every file when viewed with those programs.

What an absolute delight that was!
I loved everything about this movie. It was terrific and an absolute DELIGHT to watch.
It's a happy-ending screwball comedy romance. Kudos to the farmer, he's a hoot. She's beautiful, he's dreamy. They try to keep their identities secret... you know how that always works.... They keep getting into trouble/mischief together. She loves him, he loves her, and someone else loves her too. Her mother, sister, and knitting auntie are all whackadoos. The butler is a nutjob. How many servants do they really need dusting the house? That little sister, she was "corny" and had the best lines of anyone in the whole movie, zingers- I think they call them. The whole thing was just a joy. It doesn't have the kitchen sink, but it does have a big brass band.
It was engaging and entertaining, the characters were WONDERFUL, the story was fantastic and moved well. It left me smiling and happy. The sound and audio are great.
This film is a first-rate, top-billing winner in my bookmarks folder.
I can not recommend it highly enough.
