The vehicle combines the functionality and design flexibility of a custom-built work truck with the styling and ergonomics of a cargo van.
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Isuzu Commercial Truck of America and Utilimaster introduced a new commercial van at the American Truck Dealers 2010 Convention & Expo in Orlando.
The walk-in van — with a body designed by Utilimaster Corporation atop a rugged heavy-duty Isuzu NPR chassis and powered by Isuzu's 3.0-liter diesel engine — will combine the functionality and design flexibility of a custom-built work truck with the styling and ergonomics of a cargo van.
Prototypes are scheduled to begin rolling off the line in the third quarter of this year, with full production scheduled for the second half of 2011.
"This new walk-in van will be the first vehicle to fully meet the needs of today's fleet and vocational markets," said Shaun Skinner, executive vice president and general manager of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America. "It will offer significantly more interior height and width than other commercial vans, and it will have multiple design options to maximize utility and driver productivity. Add to that a body design and powertrain that have been engineered for performance, durability and low cost of ownership, and the result is a vehicle that will truly revolutionize the commercial van market."
Added John Marshall, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Utilimaster, "We have worked extensively with key customers for more than 18 months to develop this product from the ground up and the response so far has been very encouraging. This next-generation van is expected to achieve best-in-class fuel economy along with important features to support commercial van customers, including a distinctly automotive aesthetic, that will set it apart in the marketplace."
The dramatic profile of the new van demonstrates the importance Isuzu and Utilimaster designers placed on aerodynamics. The streamlined shape improves fuel efficiency while it reduces interior noise.
The body panels will also be designed for quick removal and replacement so that owners can quickly and easily make minor body repairs.
Two wheelbases—134 and 151 inches—and three cargo area lengths—10, 12 and 14 feet—will be offered. All models will feature a 34-inch-wide by 74-inch-high cab door opening for easy driver ingress and egress. The cab will offer a choice of either swing or sliding doors.
In back, multiple rear door designs will allow the cargo area to be customized to the operator's needs. Options will include 270-degree twin-swing doors, twin side-sliding doors, and roll-up doors.
The revolution continues inside, with a cab optimized for ergonomics and productivity and a modular cargo area of unprecedented spaciousness that will offer buyers a choice of integrated vocational packages specifically designed for their applications.
Operators will find the new commercial van to be a functional mobile office. Even a driver over six feet in height can walk in and out of the cab in an upright position, and can stand up inside the cab area. The placement and design of instruments and controls have been simplified for ease of use and made modular for easy installation of customer-specific equipment.
The cargo area, easily accessible from the driver's seat, is perhaps the new van's most innovative feature. The cargo area can offer up to 700 cubic feet of storage. In addition, a choice of integrated vocational modules will give buyers the opportunity to turn the cargo area into a space virtually customized to their needs.
Each of the vocational cargo-storage modules has been designed to take full advantage of the van's impressive width and height, and engineered for quick and easy installation, with no drilling or other body modifications required. And any module can be specified as a factory- or dealer-installed option, or ordered through the dealership and installed by the final customer.

For many homeowners who need assistance in affording a home, a Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loan is the way to go.
FHA loans were designed to provide a lifeline to low- and moderate-income households that would otherwise be locked out of the housing market.
The loans are backed by the government, which guarantees the lender won't have to write off a bad loan if the borrower defaults.
Down Payments
Compared to conventional loans, FHA loans are attractive to many buyers. FHA loans typically require only a 3.5% down payment, compared to the usual 20% down for conventional loans.
Most FHA loans are fixed-rate loans, typically 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgages.
Credit Worthiness
The FHA was started in 1934, when foreclosures spiked all over the country—and many people were left in credit ruin.
So in addition to low down payments, the FHA gives greater flexibility with debt and creditworthiness. Mortgage rates are typically lower than conventional loans, and qualifying credit scores do not need to be as high: For FHA loans, qualifying credit scores start at 580.
Unlike conventional loan programs, FHA loans also allow down payments and closing costs to be funded through gifts or grants.
FHA Loan Limits
FHA loan limits vary by county. High-income areas, which have higher property values, can receive bigger mortgages. To find out an FHA loan limit for your area, go to the HUD.gov's FHA mortgage limits webpage.
These loan limits are higher than they used to be during the early- and mid-2000s, when home prices were soaring. Back then, FHA limits were usually too low for borrowers to use them.
After the boom, the limits were raised, making the program more widely available.
Insurance Premiums
Not everything about an FHA loan is advantageous over a conventional loan. FHA loans do require mortgage insurance premiums.
This amount is a percent of the loan, which must be paid until the loan is finished. The percent can change depending on your loan-to-value and your lender's terms. Additionally, FHA loans come with an upfront mortgage premium, which is also a percent of your loan.
In contrast, conventional loans with a 20% down payment have no such requirement for private mortgage insurance.
Help for Distressed Borrowers
The program has also taken steps to help FHA borrowers hit hard by the nation's economic downturn. For example, the Helping Families Save Their Home Act of 2009 gave FHA borrowers more options to avoid foreclosure and increase credit.
Even renters got some help—under the new law, if a renter's house were to be foreclosed upon, the bank must honor the existing lease or give 90 days notice for month-to-month renters.
In early 2010, the federal government announced that homeowners with FHA-insured loans who had cash flow issues were eligible for loss-mitigation assistance.
Unemployment, reduced working hours, lower pay or a drop in self-employed business earnings may enable FHA-insured borrowers to qualify for aid. Previously, homeowners were not eligible for assistance until after they had fallen behind in their payments.
Updated from an earlier version by Emmet Pierce.

Billing $500.00 an hour for his services seems a bit excessive. How many millions has Mitchell and his attorneys cost the taxpayers?

Rifleman -- it is a lot to spend. I'm very torn about how the State or the Federal Government decides which cases to spend tons of money on and which not to, cause I don't think in many cases it has much to do with which cases will most likely find a guilty verdict. There are many victims of horrendous crimes. Yet we don't have an unlimited budget to spend to prosecute everyone. So I understand your thinking here. I'm not sure what the solution is. Perhaps Mitchell is considered to be extremely dangerous to others (and I would agree with that if he was), and due to that danger we need to spend whatever resources need to be spent to make sure the public will be safe from him.

The only thing that could redeem our justice system from all the tax dollars
wasted in this case is to make certain that Brain David Mitchell and every
convicted offender is given the worst death penalty possible. Not like the
already nice electric chair,firing squad,and others we already have.
like the dark ages. These people lost their Constitutional rights when they did
what they did.
Otherwise our system will remain a joke forever.

I think this trial will set a precedent. Anyone who wants to play the insane card like Mitchel will end up in prison rightfully. It's my tax money too but I woulnd't want a criminal ending up in a mental hospital instead of prison.

:Welner said he has billed the government for more than $746,000... a
discounted rate of $425 an hour... He is being paid $5,000 a day to testify, (2
½ days so far)... He also has the government reimburse him for airfare
and hotel costs."
Listen, I think Mitchell is guilty too. He
could be mentally ill. I don't know, but this is obscene. This adds up to
nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS for ONE witness. It's beyond overkill. Of course
he's going to say whatever the prosecution wants him to say.

"Of course he's going to say whatever the prosecution wants
him to say."
Except that what he has to say is UNASSAILABLE,
logically and factually. If he WERE "just" saying "whatever the
prosecution wants him to say," his testimony would be eaten alive by the
Defense. But that is not the case (although Defense is kicking and screaming).

It is not just this case... the cost of obtaining "justice" is horrendous,and leads many to not even bother to try, even if they can afford the cost. Therefore many a guilty party escapes prosecution, and many an innocent cannot defend themselves.Most "expert" witnesses, and legal representatives play the game, and judges are usually divorced from reality.

It is odd that Welner's pay becomes an issue but not that of DeMier or the Utah
State Hospital operator whose name exscapes me. The later has a true conflict
of interest, because keeping as many people like Mitchell out of prison and in
state hospitals is the key to that guys job.
Welner wins either way.
The key to his job is tough debates and close calls about conpetence and sanity.
If he does his job so throughly we realize that claims of incompetence to stand
trial and not guilty by insanity are inherently flawed, we could revamp the
system to get rid of him.
Thus, the defense is going after the wrong
person in identifying who has financial conflicts.
Anyway, the
question of what Welner is paid seems out of context. What were these defense
experts paid? What are similarly situatated and experienced forensic
psychiatrists paid? What type of staff organization does Welner have to
support? What are the costs of having an office in New York?

Ms Molli,
This is a federal case. The state has no control over any of
the decisions on what amount of money should be spent. It is federal money, a
federal case, and federal decisions. There are no, and I mean no, state
However, why is Welner's pay an issue but not DeMier's?
DeMeir never put forth the effort to even try to understand the religious mileiu
that Mitchell belongs to. His testimony indicated no familiarity with the FLDS,
let alone with the much more inportant to this case loaner claimants to being
"The One Mighty and Strong" or to the extreme notions of Bo Gritz, who
Mitchell was at one point a follower of, and whose extrimist notions are closely
connected with Mitchell's excommunication.
The fact is that there are
lots of other people in Utah and surrounding states who make claims to being the
"one mighty and strong" or the "Davidic King" on as little
grounds and with as little following as Mitchell. Yet of them only Mitchell
kidnaps a girl from her bedroom.
His religious beliefs forcing him
to his crime does not add up.

Books Read 2014
12January 13, 2015 by Katie
If you've read this blog for a while then you probably know that I'm a liiiittle bit of a reader. I've always been a serious bookworm, ever since I was little (Boxcar Children and Babysitters Club, anyone?) but this habit has continued through college, law school and "adulthood." Now that I'm not in school and I have more free time, I get to read even MORE books! Who doesn't love disappearing into another world for a little while?
Anyway, I thought I would list the books that I've read this year. Each one has a link to either my own book review, or just straight to its Goodreads page if I didn't write one. Enjoy!

Nothing and Everything to Look Forward To
24January 6, 2015 by Katie
You know what's interesting about 2015? I don't have any big life events coming up as I normally would: I'm not looking for a job, I'm not graduating, turning an exciting age, I don't have any big trips planned, I'm not getting married or having a baby. It's just… blank.
And you know what? I'm pretty pumped. I've never had a blank year before. It's a clean slate to turn into whatever I want. And who knows, maybe something unexpected will happen, and maybe it won't. But either way, I'm looking forward to 2015. I feel good about this upcoming year. I feel like I've grown so much in the past year (or 27…) and this next year will be my favorite one yet.

A Day In The Life – 21 Day Fix
19December 31, 2014 by Katie
So I haven't done a What I Ate Wednesday post in a looooong time, but today I wanted to give you an idea of what it was like to follow the 21 Day Fix workout and meal plan. When I first heard about the plan I was completely put off: those tiny containers!? Are they kidding me!? When I'm told exactly what I can and can't do, I fall into a spiral of anxiety; I don't like being boxed in. But then I did a Challenge Group where several other women, as well as friends were doing the Fix and loved it. So I did my research, I read as much as I could about it, I did some prep and tried to follow the guidelines on my own for a couple weeks and then I bit the bullet and bought the 21 Day Fix Challenge pack.
So for today's WIAW, I'm going to share one day of eating from the Fix! It's important to note that during this fix I was avoiding grains because my doctor told me to do so. All food groups are allowed on the Fix, just in moderation: portion size is the key!

Seeking Acceptance
12December 30, 2014 by Katie
The other day I was at brunch with my family and there was a little boy running around in a Batman costume. My mom made a comment along the lines of "wouldn't it be nice to be like him and wear whatever you want without caring what other people thought?"
Displaying IMG_8681.JPG
At what point in our lives do we become aware of not only how we look, but how other people view us based on how we look? When did we start judging other people on their looks? It happens to everyone at some point in our childhood, but wouldn't it be a great world if we knew no matter what we looked like, we were loved and accepted?

A cash register is a device for calculating and recording sales transactions. A cash drawer for storing cash is attached and the register usually prints a receipt. Cash registers were first invented in order to deter employee theft and embezzlement. It is theorized that odd prices such as 49 and 99 cents came about so that it was almost guaranteed the cashier would have to provide a penny in change and therefore announce the sale. Most of the time the drawer could only be opened after a sale,...

"Bellodgia" Perfume by Caron in Paris, France was introduced in 1927 . The crystal falcon container was introduced in 1946 by Cristalleries de Baccarat, design #806 (noted in Perfume Intelligence). This perfume bottle is a classic, highly collectible. It is quite lovely the way the light bounces around in it.
The peachy label with gold print is present on front in good condition and reads "Bellodgia ** Caron".
The interior is exceptionally clean. The exterior of the white presentation box is soiled from days gone by and the original owner wrote on top "Feb. 1960". The top of the inside has printed "Bellodgia ** Caron ** 10.Rue de la Paix ** Paris France".
Condition: Pristine. There is a fleabite beneath the bottle on the cut corner which I tried to photograph. This classic Baccarat crystal perfume bottle which measures 2-1/4" x 1-3/4".

So far so good. The pLink charger is clumsy and weird but other than that I am happy. The price is really high though. I bought mine at Macy's and with tax is was $127. A lot to spend to clean your face.
After about 2 months, I do see a difference in the texture of my skin. It is not a miracle product but I enjoy it very much and now my skin doesn't feel clean without it. I use it twice per day. I'm dreading paying the $30+ dollars for the replacement brush head though.
I have had this for three months now, and while I haven't experienced the miraculous improvement that others have, I can tell that my skin is improving slowly and steadily. It is not a cheap device, but for what it does, I can with hindsight say that it is actually reasonably priced. I made myself a deal--no facials for one year, but a Clarisonic and whatever skincare products I set my heart on, and so far I think the Clarisonic is winning! I definitely feel like my skin has improved more in the last few months than with any facials I've ever had. Just a note about moisturizers: it is true that they absorb much better after using the Clarisonic, but in my experience you end up using MORE because of that! But it's all good, because at least you know it's reaching into your skin ...
And if the part about changing brush heads every three months is making you think twice, I would say that it's a good thing--for all kinds of reasons you WANT to change these things regularly. I've been cleaning my brushhead semi-conscientiously, but it has still picked up stains from my turmeric face masks and also smells funny. Can't wait for the three-month mark to come round so I can put on a new one!

Just got this a few days ago - have only used it four times but already my skin feels great. Very clean and smooth. I have fair, sensitive skin and have experienced no intial break outs. In fact, it has already diminished congestion around my chin. Debated for a long time between the Mia and Plus, and glad I chose mia. It is portable and I think the speed is perfect. Wouldn't want a stronger or lighter speed. Might purchase the Plus if I decide to start using on my body, but think that would be too time consuming. The only thing I don't like is the face wash. I can barely tell it is on and works up no lather.

I've been using the Clarisonic Mia for about half a year, and I am absolutely addicted to it. Blackheads are almost gone, pores appear smaller, and skin looks clean, fresh and glowing. I have used both the normal brush head and the one for delicate skin, and much prefer the latter.
I got it for Christmas and have been using it daily. It's great! I didn't have any initial breakout a lot of people experienced. Probably because I normally exfoliate my skin on a regular basis and use BP to prevent breakouts. I use it once a day in PM and I am honestly quite amazed at how much make-up is still left on my skin after my very first make-up removal step (I use micellar water to remove make-up before I wash my face). It doesn't help much with my occasionally flakey skin (BP and the cold windy weather have been the cause lately despite all the moiturizers etc I have tried) but my skin feels amazingly smooth. I can't tell if it prevents blemishes because my BP does that already but my skin looks quite a bit more clear and I use much less make-up now. I don't think you really need the pro-clarisonic version. Mia has it all! I love it and would absolutely purchase it!

Attention: people with cystic acne!!!
UPDATE: July 2012: after almost a year of using my MIA i have to confess that is the best tool i have found to fight my cystic pimples. Just this month, i got 4 FOUR!! cystic pimples in my chin, and after using my technique with MIA applying mia on the pimples as soon as you can feel them forming under your skin, my FOUR pimples dissolved inside before coming out to the surface. Is not like they are not there anymore, but they never made it to be noticeable and they are smaller and disappearing after 4 days of MIA treatment. I LOVE IT!!
I just found this is my secret weapon for cystic acne.. Like a lot of people i suffer from cystic acne specially in the chin area. Normally takes weeks! for the pimple to form and come out, developing a huge volcano size red bump, and finally a horrible deep scar.
I just discover that if i use the clarisonic mia as soon as i feel the pimple forming down inside my skin, for about 3-4 minutes on the affected area, the pimple disolves inside, even before getting red and bumpy. I repeat the process for about 4 days, one or twice a day, without rubbing, poking, putting ice, heat patches, anything... just leave it alone and use clarisonic very light... its wonderful, pimples never come out, disappear inside and nobody will see them ever... isnt great???!!
try it! even with one pimple this tool can prevent, is worth it..
I paid around 85 dlls for mine, but im so glad is helping me now. On top of that, really smooths your skin, and make it look better in general. Loooove it!

holy crap this device is it. my skin is so ridiculously clean after using this. i originally had the clarisonic pro, but found i dont need the option to go for 2 or 3 minutes, or even another speed. save your money and get this little guy. works just as well. my skin has never looked so good. when you first start using it you will start to break out, but the brush is drawing out the impurities so dont worry! keep with it for a few weeks and you will see the improvement. if you're looking to throw down some money, throw down on the clarisonic mia.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have combination skin. Until I started Uni at 17, I'd never had a pimple in my life. five years on my skin looks like it has a pimpley messy rash. So I thought I'd give the Mia a try.
Pros: It simplifies my skincare routine, and cuts the time in half. 1minute with this and my skin is squeaky clean (literally). Its 100% waterproof. Nifty charger. Easy to clean.
Cons: Moderately pricey (depending on how much you value skincare), lasts 20 uses but after about 5 the quality of the clean diminishes so you need to charge it every couple of days. Has given me a few underlying one bumps on one cheek.
Verdict: My products genuinely apply to my skin better, my skin feels super soft and healthy, did nothing for the acne/rash BUT! if you break out because of makeup then this would probably work. Im pretty confident that my skin problems are more hormonal and stress related, so i get nicer skin while still have the rash problem
I've wanted a Clarisonic for a very long time, but I always thought that it was very expensive. One day at Sephora I saw the Mia, and I finally decided to buy it. My skin has always been comb to very oily, and acne-prone. I had very rough patches of skin on my forehead as well. I'm so glad that I bought it! It helped so much with exfoliating the dead skin, softening the rough patches, and making my skin feel clean. I love that it has a self-timer, so I don't have to worry about over-doing it. I've used it with both the delicate brush and the sensitive skin brush. I'm not sure if the cleansers really matter with the Clarisonic, but I use it with Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Cleanser. It's been over a year since I've purchased it, and hopefully this unit lasts me a very long time. If/when it eventually dies, I'll definitely get another one.

Givenchy Spring 2012 Couture
>> "It's a very sparkly collection, which, in a way, is very couture," Riccardo Tisci said of the 10 dresses he presented for Spring 2012 Givenchy couture. Sparkly, yes, but there was a dark romance at play as well, one that no doubt came from Tisci's main inspirations: the 1927 film Metropolis and the 1924 Russian film Aelita: Queen of Mars. See the entire collection here, which — as is the recent Givenchy tradition — was photographed portrait-style by Willy Vanderperre.

"This is a wonderful card for a boy's baby announcement! I love the bold name on the card, along with the contemporary font. I chose the shimmer stock paper and am so glad...it gives it such a lux look and the paper feels substantial. I changed "Merry Christmas" to read "Welcomed With Love" since we had already sent Christmas cards out. Great quality card for such a special occasion!"
"This card looks absolutely gorgeous! I do not consider myself particularly artistic or creative but the card turned out great thanks to the step by step instructions on the website. Also I know this card is labeled "Basil snow" but it doesn't need to be used for only winter babies. We had a May baby and I liked the design so much I used it anyways. To me it doesn't look like snow but more like cute swirly designs. Everyone has loved them! I went with semi gloss and the picture looks so clear."
"I love these announcements because they are not like every other announcement I see. The matte finish makes it look like a higher quality (rather than glossy finish). I personally used the coffee color rather than the pink which made the pink in the heart (date) pop more. The only thing I wish I had done differently is get a professional picture taken, but that's on me, not Tiny Prints."
"I had never ordered anything off tinyprints in the past. I had selected a bunch of different card formats and inserted pictures to see which one stood out more to me. I loved the theme of this card and the one image allows it to be simple yet elegant. After I sent them out I heard from relatives that they just loved them so and put them in a frame to have in their houses. The paper quality is heavy and excellent. The finished product is well worth the price. You'll get rave reviews!"
"Our son was born in December and we wanted a card that would show his personality, we had a picture that looked like he was roaring! and it worked perfect for us. We wanted something different and we go it. The quality of the card was good, design did not look tacky and everyone commented on the card (after saying how adorable our son was!) we sent it to family all over the world. Will definitely be using tiny prints again."

Twenty-four railcars jumped the track Monday at Bailey Yard, but none of them tipped over.
Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis said the derailment happened at 7:15 a.m. near the west trim yard, where trains are assembled to head to western destinations. The west trim yard is on the north side.
No main lines were affected and no one was injured, Davis said.
The cars jumped off the track on a "pullback" track, where lines of railcars are slowly pulled out of the trim yard and pushed back for further sorting. The cars were a mix of types and held a mix of contents.
Crews and caterpillars from Hulcher Services a few blocks away responded and began setting the cars back on the track. By 1 p.m., about a half-dozen cars were reset and pulled away from the area.
The cause is under investigation, Davis said.

This review is from: Sunset Boulevard [Blu-ray] [1950] [Region Free] (Blu-ray)
at long last this priceless gem of a film has made the jump to blu ray,and what a blu ray it is.the restoration is spotless,there is not a single scratch,or a trace of dirt or dust in the print.the dense grain structure has been left in and it brings out all the smallest detail in the picture.the high quality is from start to finish,no patchy bits anywhere.there is no evidence of digital noise reduction any where and the tones look natural and as they should be.it now seems the studios have learnt that massive amounts of digital noise reduction is the wrong way to go,and films should be treated with cotton gloves,rather then manhandled with industrial rubber gloves.this blu ray is worth every penny

This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] (DVD)
I watched "Sunset Boulevard" (1950) for the first time a few days ago, after a friend lent it to me. I am very grateful to him because otherwise I probably wouldn't have rented it, or at least not anytime soon. And truth to be told, this is the kind of movie that you simply should watch as soon as possible. From my point of view, "Sunset Boulevard" is, like "Casablanca" and "The Maltese falcon", a classic.
This film is directed by Billy Wilder, and narrated by a dead man that appears in one of the first scenes floating in a swimming pool. It sounds strange, doesn't it? Despite that, it is very effective! The opening sequence is strong, but things get better and better as the story goes on. Despite that, a word of caution is in order: if you don't like black humour, don't watch "Sunset Boulevard", because this satire of the perverse side of Hollywood has it in spades. One of the main characters is Joe Gillis (William Holden), a screenwriter without money that happens to hide from his creditors in an old mansion that seems to be empty. That is unfortunately not the case... The mansion is no less than the home of Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), a rich woman that used to be a silent screen star, and that wants to be famous again. That appears to be the reason why she employs Joe to improve a very long script she has written for her comeback, and also the reason why she insists that Joe is to stay at her house in the meantime. Joe isn't fond of the idea of staying in the mansion with the old woman and her creepy butler, Max (Erich von Stroheim), but he has no money, so he has to accept. Joe Gillis is like a fly caught in a spider's web: from the moment he enters Norma's house he is doomed, he just doesn't know it yet. What will happen? Well, you must watch this film to learn that. I can only promise you that "Sunset Boulevard" is the kind of movie you don't regret watching. It is entertaining, insightful, has great performances and includes some of the best lines I have heard in a movie. Again, a classic. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Belen Alcat PS: If possible, remember to watch the extra features after seeing this film. One of them, a commentary by Ed Sikov, is specially good, due to the fact that it allows you to learn several interesting facts about the cast and the making of this movie. PS 2: I wil include here some of my favourite quotes from this movie. I'm sure they will make you want to watch it :) -Joe Gillis: "You're Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big". Norma Desmond: "I am big. It's the pictures that got small". - [Joe is reading Norma's script] Joe Gillis: "Sometimes it's interesting to see just how bad bad writing can be. This promised to go the limit". - Norma Desmond: "We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!" - Joe Gillis: "There's nothing tragic about being fifty. Not unless you're trying to be twenty-five". - Norma Desmond: "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up".

And the winner is.....?,
By Harvey Vincent (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] (DVD)
The three serious Oscar contenders for best actress of 1950 were Bette Davis for "All About Eve", Judy Holliday in "Born Yesterday" and (of course!) Gloria Swanson for "Sunset Boulevard". Surprisingly Holliday won. It was said that Davis and Swanson cancelled each other out because they both played actresses. At the time there was some carping that Swanson did not deserve the award because she was merely acting herself while Davis and Holliday gave striking interpretations. Now more than 60 years later perspectives have changed. Denigrating Gloria Swanson's work displayed ignorance in the art of acting. When presented with this argument, Swanson said that she used aspects of herself in the role which included her fabulous career as a silent film star as do all good film actresses, but in real life she was far from Norma Desmond. When looking at these three films today, it is clear to me that Swanson rated the Academy Award (as in horse racing: by a nose). Hers is a highly complex role bordering on the ridiculous. Without the masterful collaboration of writer-director Billy Wilder she could have easily gone off the rails. Her totally integrated performance is pure cinema. Note the canny use of her eyes, her hands, every majestic silent movie gesture, the unusually intense inner concentration. In "Born Yesterday" director George Cukor shrewdly guided Judy Holliday in her first starring role, but the movie remains a crafty reproduction of Holliday's successful Broadway comedy. Writer Joseph L. Mankiewicz, as much a woman's director as Cukor, gave Bette Davis in "All About Eve" the most sophisticated original screenplay ever written and directed her to give an astonishing performance. The hair-splitting difference between Davis and Swanson is that while Bette Davis PLAYS Margo Channing to the hilt, Gloria Swanson IS the extraordinarily eccentric, dangerous Norma Desmond. At the end of "Sunset Boulevard" after killing her lover the psychotic Norma proclaims: "The stars are ageless." So is Gloria Swanson's legendary performance and the bitingly brilliant movie that frames it.

A dark and delicious classic gem!!,
This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] (DVD)
This is a great and extremely dark look at what happens when the film cameras aren't rolling. It tells the story, in vivid flash-back, how a down-on-his-luck script writer (William Holden) happens across a forgotton and ageing silent screen icon called Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) who believes she can help him revive his career and thinks that he can bring her back into the limelight again. She falls for him and showers him with gifts, and wants him for herself. He in turn thinks that she is mad and losing her marbles, but he soon finds himself in thrall of her madness and it soon leads to his downfall.
Quite possibly the best film I've seen on the dark and disturbingly desperate side of Hollywood, it begins superbly with a stunning opening sequence and having the voice-over of the deceased. One of the best opening sequences I've seen to possibly any film. The acting is first-rate with Gloria Swanson on blistering form as the forgotton silent screen goddess wanting to come back to the big time and William Holden equally impressive as the struggling writer. There are star turns by a handful of Hollywood's elite of the time; Buster Keaton (one of the greats of silent screen), H B Warner and Cecil B. DeMille. Directed by Billy Wilder, a masterful director and screen-writer in his own right, it's memorable, brilliant and sheer class. Features in my Top 10 no question.

Ready for your close up?,
This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] (DVD)
Quite how this film ever got made is a wonder. Billy Wilder's superb look at a faded film star's attempt to make a come back is a triumph. A savage swipe at Hollywood, it's loaded with classic one-liners and spine chilling irony.
The faded and long forgotten silent movie star Gloria Swanson is perfect as Norma Desmond (I shudder to think what Mae West would have done it had she done it as originally planned) and William Holden as a yet to succeed screen writer who decides to exploit the old star for everything he can get is wonderful. The new dvd transfer is stunning and the extras are worth watching too. The more you learn about this film the more you enjoy it. One fact I learnt recently from an interview with Miss Swanson's daughter that is not featured in the 'making of' sequence is that Gloria Swanson stayed in character throughout the entire making of the film run. Imagine having Norma Desmond as your mother??! And now Mr De Mille........

How The Mighty Have Fallen.,
By Tanya "monkeyfish4" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (1950) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This film was made at a time when the big Hollywood Star Machine was beginning to grind to a halt. The first big movie stars, the likes of Lillian Gish, Errol Flynn and Joan Crawford had either faded into obscurity, booze, charity events or all three. For some the shock was simply too much and Gloria Swanson's portrayal of fallen star Norma Desmond in complete denial and going slightly mad is a perfect mix of pure melodrama and heart-breaking realism. The aura of decay is made all the more palpable by the disintegrating dust-gathering mansion in which most of the film is set and beautifully shot by Billy Wilder. Norma's surreal life is brought back into focus by self-serving opportunist, Joe Gillis (William Holden), who uses the rich and deluded Norma to bankroll his own Hollywood dream. Great director Erich von Stroheim plays Norma's ever faithful servant and protector, and watch out for other big names who couldn't resist a cameo in this movie about movies. Playing themselves are faded luminaries such as Buster Keaton, Hedda Hopper, Cecil B. DeMille and H.B. Warner. I will spoil nothing if I tell you that the movie begins with Holden lying face down in a swimming pool. This film is also an enthralling whodunnit with the victim telling the story in one big flashback. With a magic cast and script under Wilder's skillful directorship, this film is a fore-runner to the equally exquisite Old Hollywood Has-beens flick, "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?". It's a pure gem.

Norma Desmond never looked so good,
This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] (DVD)
One of three exquisite classic releases from Paramount in a row (the other two are "Roman Holiday" and "To catch a thief"), "Sunset Blvd.", the DVD is a pleasure to look at from the moment you load the disc and the menu starts. Fully restored, there are no words to describe how astonishing it looks. It could have been made yesterday rather than fifty five years ago. Someone put a lot of love (and money) into the restoration, and for that I shall be forever grateful, and I'm sure I am not the only one.
The story of a faded movie star and a penniless screenwriter (Gloria Swanson and William Holden), the film is arguable the wittiest and the best film ever made about Hollywood. Giving the plot away is spoiling it to those who haven't seen it, and I still remember how exciting it was to enter the strange world of silent movie star Norma Desmond for the first time. If you have seen the film don't hesitate before buying it: apart from the superb transfer the DVD includes a trailer, a very good and informative audio commentary, a very nice making of, a music featurette and another on Edith Head's years at Paramount (which is shared with the other two films I mentioned before) and perhaps the best, some fragments and the script of the infamous morgue prologue which Billy Wilder cut after a preview.

Self-depricating Cinema,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] (DVD)
A true great classic. I recommend this to all film fans. A true genius Billy Wilder directs the excellent William Holden and Gloria Swanson (a remarkable performance as Norma Desmond) in this brilliant film noir. The supporting cast includes Eric Von Stronheim and Nancy Olsen and cameos from cinematic greats such as Cecil B DeMille, Buster Keaton and others. This film takes apart your perceptions of Hollywood and shows how it can be mean to stars and to writers (albeit maybe untalented ones). This movie, ignored by the Oscars, for its negative depiction of the cinematic world, has gone down in history as one of the great classics and deservedly. Definitely recommended if you've seen Wilder's other work: Double Indemnity, Some Like it Hot, The Apartment The Seven Year Itch etc. Also recommended to any fans of film noir. A brilliant film that I would recommend to all.

One of the greatest films,
By Arista L. (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] (DVD)
Sunset Boulevard is rightly considered by The American Film Institute to be one of the greatest films of all time. The story of an aging actress and a young struggling writer has timeless appeal. This movie should be noted for the importance of its various settings - Norma Desmond's house, the Hollywood film studios, the writer's office - which play a very important role in the story. The choice of narrator is a particularly innovative one and makes the plot even more compelling. The acting is superb; Gloria Swanson perfectly portrays Norma Desmond's increasing narcissism and vulnerability and the inclusion of various older Hollywood stars who play a bridge game with Norma was a nice reminder of the silent era.

"All right Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up",
This review is from: Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) [DVD] [1950] (DVD)
The film Sunset Boulevard also known as `Sunset Blvd' stars William Holden as Joe Gillis, a down-on-his-luck aspiring screenwriter, who becomes a kept man. His co-star is played by Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, a reclusive and faded silent movie star. A star of yesteryear that draws Joe Gillis into her make-believe world. For Norma Desmond has delusions of her greatness, from her past stardom, and wants to make a successful comeback to the silver screen. There is excellent supporting cast in the form of Erich von Stroheim, as Max Von Mayerling, her devoted servant and protector who panders to her every whim.
In bringing Sunset Boulevard to the screen Billy Wilder looked to Hollywood's past. It is believed that Norma Desmond's name was influenced by actor/director William Desmond Taylor. William Taylor was shot dead in 1922 under strange circumstances. He was shot by starlet Mabel Normand's chauffeur, with her pistol. Although the starlet was not a suspect in crime, the close association and the other scandals in her life were damming. The character of Norma Desmond was more of composite character, made up from the lives and personalities of number of silent film stars. The two leading actors were never the first choice for the film. However, Swanson was recommended by a colleague of Wilder's, while William Holden was substitution as Montgomery Clift bowed out of the role. For me the inclusion of Erich von Stroheim Max, who in real life had actually directed Swanson in the 1920s, was brilliant casting as he is both effective and spooky in his role. The Billy Wilder as writer-director brought strange sharp wit coupled with the definitive essentials of film noir; that make for a strange kind of amusement and noir, best exemplified in film by the pet chimp's midnight funeral scene - a solemn event where the audience try not to smirk. As with Double Indemnity, the narrative here too was shaped, in part, by the confines of its time and by the Motion Picture Production Code. A code better known as the Breen Code that were a set of industry moral censorship guidelines that governed the production of most United States motion pictures from the 1930s through to the 1960s. He also kept Paramount, in the dark, which in turn allowed him comparative liberty to continue as he saw fit with the film. The cinematography was by John F. Seitz who utilized the sunny disposition of Hollywood with the dark interiors Norma Desmond's home grand home, which is more a metaphor - as snapshot of the past. There are a number of memorable quotes from the movie, such as "I am big; it's the pictures that got small!", "All right Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." The ending of the film was changed to the iconic one that can be seen today, due to test audience negative reception of the original ending. This very good and unusual film that looks at the dream factory that is Hollywood, where on occasion there are nightmares. |

Super Cute!
This vest is super cute! I've never ventured into vest-land as I'm a little busty (34-D) & thought it would be bad, but it's super flattering on! I am 5'7" 135lbs & the medium is great!
The only complaint is that it's a little boxy, so I may sew it in just a bit. But other than that it's perfect!

Cut Gouda and Emmental
October 20, 2012, 02:45:03 AM »
Cut this morning 10 weeks Gouda and 4 months Emmental .
Both cheese have great texture and no problem of bitterness.
The taste of the Gouda do not have enough nature.
I have to address some problems: the main one is to get real milk as
those cheese are made of h/p milk and i believe that this is the reason for the boring taste.
Another problem is that the Emmental turn out too dry. the humidity of
my fridge is about 70% so i have to increase it and also i need
to rub the cheese with oil when it's 2 month old.
This is my second time of making those cheese so i am very pleased
with the results.

They look very nice - great knit, etc.
Try ageing them longer for development of flavor. Read up on using ripening containers for increasing humidity around individual cheeses, too.

The emmentaler looks like the curd may have been a little over cooked, which would make it dry. I judge this by the crumbliness and structure of the interior.
Also the dark yellow color suggests it has dehydrated quite a bit too.
But they do look like decent cheeses.
With an overly hard emmentaler the eyes will not be able to form as well, giving you more the texture of a Swiss mountain cheese. These cheeses are typically cooked harder, so that they can be stored for a long time (they can last 10 years).
I would suggest learning how to do a washed rind, rather than oil , it's really not that hard to do, and will give an emmentaler a more authentic taste, and you can get pretty creative on a wash to add an extra depth of flavor if you so desire, without making your make any harder. I wash mine with white wine, and right now I'm experimenting with a special herb wash I concocted. <-that sentence sure has a lot of commas. o well.
Good work on these cheeses, keep it up!
Isch e Guete!

Hi Alpkäserei, I agree that i over cooked the emmental. I remember the curds when
i moved them to press, they were very small and very dry so i will give
that attention next time.

Besides using containers to increase humidity, you can also put a small plate with some water in the fridge.

Something interesting happened since i cut them . Both cheese become
much better. the Emmental turned out to be a great cheese and everyone
just love it. actually it's finished and my wife ask me to make another one.
The Gouda get a little more saltiness and taste better.

This happens with Swiss type cheeses.
Actually for our alp cheese, if you cut it too soon it is dry and crumbly but gets softer and creamier after 6 to 8 months. This is just because the culture has to break down the solids and produce a creamy inside. Our cheese is made rather dry so that it can age well, and over time the culture makes it more moist. Your emmentaler likely is doing the same thing.
We recently cut a cheese open that was not ready. I knew it was pretty young, but we were out of cheese to eat so I wanted to cut it open. It was just at the point where the inside changes rapidly. SO when I first cut it open, it was very hard and difficult even to cut, but after this you could notice it changing. And the culture obviously was doing this, because during all of this time the signature spiciness/nuttiness of this cheese really became so much stronger. Now the problem is this cheese is almost all, and we don't have another alp cheese that is close to being ready to cut
But with an Emmental, usually it is not cooked to the point where this should happen. Emmentaler cheese is made so that you can eat it after 90 days, unlike our alp cheese where we think it should be at least 1 year.
