My Muhlenbergia capillaris seeds have come up, but they are so tiny. They look like little green hairs. Any tips on growing these things from such tiny plants would be greatly appreciated. They don't seem to be growing very quickly at all. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
How are they now? Presumably, you were growing them indoors when you posted this question. I would expect they are still inside, and waiting to be transplanted outdoors when conditions are appropriate. |

I still have them indoors. They have more leaves, but still small. I think I will plant them in about two weeks. I'll give them more time to get stronger first. We could still have a frost here and I don't want to chance it. |

Thirty years ago, the Otto Preminger film version of the classic opera "Porgy and Bess" was withdrawn from circulation by the estate of George Gershwin, which controlled the music rights to the production. The Gershwin estate reportedly loathed the film and felt it made a mess of its original source. Three decades later, "Porgy and Bess" is still not available for public review, unless you count the number of bootleg videos based on 16mm prints, which is where this review came from.
Keeping a title out of circulation inevitably builds the curiosity surrounding it and "Porgy and Bess" has, in the past 30 years, somehow become elevated to a classic status thanks entirely to its elusive status. In watching the film today, however, it would seem that this classic status is wholly undeserved and the disappointment which met the film's poorly-received premiere back in 1959 echoes loud and clear today.
Let's cut to the chase: "Porgy and Bess" is a lousy movie suffering a bizarre case of schizophrenia. Producer Samuel Goldwyn was unwilling to gamble on bringing the full opera to the screen, so he had the work refashioned into a standard musical, with new dialogue bridging the gaps between some of the classics of the Gershwin score. But when the songs roll around, the film never knows if it wants to be an opera or a musical, so it divides itself between the two genres by offering several numbers in an operatic approach and several with a jazzy pop music feeling. The result is a cacophony which throws the entire production out of kilter.
The film further confuses matters by casting two gifted singer-actresses in Dorothy Dandridge and Diahann Carroll and then robs both women of their celebrated voices by dubbing in less-than-memorable soprano singers. This is especially egregious in the case of Ms. Carroll, who opens the film with the trademark "Summertime" but whose voice is replaced by one Loulie Jean Norman, who offers one of the most strikingly juiceless renditions of the timeless song ever recorded. Ms. Dandridge fairs somewhat better with Adele Addison's dubbed soprano, though it is a shame she was not allowed to record the score in her own beloved singing voice.
If this wasn't bad enough, "Porgy and Bess" cast non-musical Sidney Poitier as Porgy but provided him with the booming tenor of Robert McFerrin, whose singing voice bears absolutely no resemblance to Mr. Poitier's speaking voice. Even more confusing is the disparity between dialogue and libretto: Mr. Poitier speaks his lines with the gloriously clear, concise diction and distinguished command of the language which always make his performances a treat, but when the music starts his character's grasp on the language evaporates into the original broken English of the DuBose Heyward libretto (i.e., "Bess, You is My Woman Now") which had African-American intellectuals cringing for so many years. Imagine Mr. Tibbs channeling the Kingfish from "Amos 'n' Andy" and you have some idea what's happening here.
Rarely has a film been cast with so many gifted performers who are either wrong for their roles or are given nothing to do. As the title lovers, Sidney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge are too Hollywood pretty and poised to adequately suggest the poor crippled beggar and his emotionally tortured lady. Sammy Davis Jr. co-stars as the libertine Sportin' Life, and this would seem like perfect casting but his performance is little more than an extension of his too-familiar Rat Pack persona (complete with his swiveling walk and idiosyncratic hand gestures). As the villainous Crown, Brock Peters is a commanding physical presence but he never suggests the full visceral power of the sexually and psychologically volatile hoodlum whose jealousy brings ruin on everyone he encounters. Pearl Bailey and Diahann Carroll are also on hand in supporting roles, but neither has much to do except look on with indifference at the proceedings which swirl about them.
Otto Preminger was never the most imaginative filmmaker and his command of this material is less than thrilling. Musical numbers are frequently photographed in a stagy manner, with the actors remaining weighed down at center screen and emoting for a static camera. The few dance numbers are poorly staged by the usually reliable choreographer Hermes Pan, and the film's supposed show stopper (Sammy Davis Jr.'s rendition of "It Ain't Necessarily So") is wrecked by having the camera placed too far away from the action while over-exuberant extras swing their arms and bodies without rhyme or reason in something which could hardly be called choreographed dancing.
When "Porgy and Bess" was first released, many critics (both white and black) denigrated the film's portrayal of the African-American community. Of course, in 1959 the supporters of the nascent civil rights movement could not be pleased with an on-screen portrayal of African-Americans as crap-shooting, fried fish-gobbling, English-mangling poor folk who are happy in their poverty and second-class citizenship. Today, the image is no less pleasant to view, and without the full magic of the Gershwin music to distract from the politically incorrect story, "Porgy and Bess" comes down like a weird and out-of-touch relic from a less sophisticated time.
In the past couple of years, "Porgy and Bess" has been able to sneak back into a few movie projectors at festivals and non-theatrical venues; interest in the film has also been rekindled in the recent belated rediscovery of Dorothy Dandridge and her groundbreaking cinema career. It is still unavailable on home video and has not been seen on TV since it was withdrawn. But truth be told, having "Porgy and Bess" out of circulation is no great loss. Had it been available these past 30 years, the film would have inspired less interest than it currently enjoys in its elusive state.

The 'jazzy' feeling in several of the songs that the reviewer describes is not the fault of the film; the opera was written that way. The role of Sportin' Life was written for and is often played by a non-operatic singer (I saw Cab Calloway do it once), and Maria, although sung by a contralto in the opera, has one 'jazzy' number which is entirely spoken in time to the music.

Dessert is the natural conclusion to a meal, much like an explosion is the natural conclusion to every community-theater production. Give your dinner an exciting finale with this Groupon.
$15 for Six Petits Fours and Six Truffles ($30 Value)
The gift package comes with six petits fours in flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, mocha, and lemon as well as six truffles in flavors such as orange, bourbon, amaretto, and chocolate.
Intricate notes emanating from a nearby piano. Steam rising off a teacup as it sits on a delicate saucer. Signs of old-world elegance permeate every corner of Mozart's Bakery and Piano Cafe, and owners Anand and Doris Saha wouldn't have it any other way. The European-trained couple have been slinging their famed sugary delicacies in the Columbus area for more than 20 years, after honing their skills in some of Europe's best restaurants and hotels.
However, even their most frequent diners will be astounded by their new, expanded location in a formerly abandoned Beechwold restaurant. While guests still get to enjoy European delicacies—some of which helped earned Columbus Monthly's Best Dessert in Best of Columbus 2014—they can now do so on a patio or in one of many rooms stocked with the aforementioned pianos. Once settled in, guests take in afternoon tea complete with scones, a canape plate, and a pastry plate.
But as proud as the Sahas are of their elegant, continental cuisine, they take just as much pride in helping the community. They were recently honored with the first Columbus Small Business Community Heroes Award from Direct Energy for their fund-raising contributions. The funds have gone toward aiding many different parts of the community, a few of which are a local food pantry, programs for senior citizens, and after-school activities for children.
Interesting flavors. Friendly staff. Relaxed yet upscale ambiance. Good music. Easy, free parking.

New York's First Senators: Late to Their Own Party
Today's post comes from Dan Ruprecht, intern in the Center for Legislative Archives at the National Archives in Washington, DC. The Center for Legislative Archives is marking the 225th anniversary of the First Congress by sharing documents on Tumblr and Twitter; use #Congress225 to see all the postings.
When Congress opened its doors under the new Constitution for the first time on March 4, 1789, at Federal Hall in New York City there were only eight senators present out of 22 expected. The senators from the host state of New York were not among them. The day before, the New York state legislature had adjourned without electing any senators.
In February and March, the New York State Senate, controlled by the Federalists, and the State Assembly, controlled by the Anti-Federalists, fought bitterly over their preferred candidates for the U.S. Senate. Since both parties expected to win a majority in each house in New York's upcoming elections in April, they were content to allow its Senate seats to remain vacant.
Therefore, as the First Congress met in New York City, New York itself was not represented in the Senate. The state legislature remained in a deadlock for five months. It was not … [ Read all ]

History Crush: Alexander Hamilton
Today's "History Crush" comes from Jessica Kratz, an archives specialist with the Center for Legislative Archives. She's been carrying a torch for one of our record-makers for quite some time!
Most of my colleagues are all too aware that Alexander Hamilton is my history crush. Maybe the gigantic replica $10 bill hanging in my office gives it away?
I've been fascinated by Hamilton for as long as I've studied American history. In school, most of my teachers touted the importance of founders like James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, but after reading the Federalist Papers, I became hooked on Alexander Hamilton. An orphan from the British West Indies who traveled alone to America as a teenager, Hamilton rose from his humble beginnings to become one of the most important men in our nation's history.
I often wondered why Jefferson was so beloved while Hamilton, clearly brilliant with remarkable foresight, was so underappreciated. Were his negatives—he was born out of wedlock, philandered, promoted the benefits of child labor, and lost a duel—overshadowing his many accomplishments? Hamilton served in the Continental Army, Continental Congress, and Constitutional Convention; was the first Secretary of Treasury; and established the first National Bank, the U.S. Mint, and the Coast Guard.

Thursday Photo Caption
Last week's image may have sparked some of our best captions yet! Apparently a giant roll of paper makes our readers think of their experiences in the National Archives research room, Twitter, and toilet paper at the State Department.
But it reminded us of another enormous rolled document featured on Pieces of History: a 1954 petition from Hawaii. And so we asked conservator Morgan Zinsmeister, who worked on that outsized record, to choose a winner.
Congratulations to Jill! Morgan thought your caption was the one we should preserve as the winner.
So what is really happening here? It turns out we made the right connection in thinking of Morgan and his Hawaiian petition. This photograph is from the "Historic Photograph File of National Archives Events and Personnel, 1935–1975," and it shows Archives employee Kay Brewington examining a large petition. (We admire her ability to crouch gracefully in that dress and those shoes!)
Today's photograph also shows a woman hard at work under the glare of a bare lightbulb—but what is she teaching? Give us your best caption in the comments below!

Inspired by the Archives! Top Ten Tips for Writers
This post was written by Laura Brandt and originally appeared on the Facebook page of the Foundation for the National Archives.
Flexing your literary muscles this month but facing writers' block? Don't forget that the National Archives has a wealth of information to enhance your tale, whether you are writing a historical novel or are looking for inspiration for interesting characters or plot twists.
How about a tale of war, heroic birds, and desperate soldiers? During World War I, the U.S. Seventy-seventh Infantry Division attacked the Germans near Charlevaux, France. Only one unit penetrated enemy lines: Maj. Charles W. Whittlesay's First Battalion of the 308th Infantry Regiment. The battalion was quickly surrounded by Germans—and then came under friendly fire from its own artillery. Whittlesay used his last carrier pigeon to send this three-sentence plea.
Or, what would it be like to be a White House photographer? White House Photographer Cecil Stoughton took this iconic photo of Lyndon B. Johnson's swearing-in ceremony after John. F. Kennedy was assassinated–but maybe your White House photographer is with President Lincoln at Ford's Theater, or is covering the President in 2024? Take … [ Read all ]

Facial Hair Friday: Amnesty for this beard, 100 years later
This week saw the 150th anniversary of the first Battle of Manassas, with hundreds of reenactors and spectators ignoring the extreme heat and coming to the Virginia battlefield.
There was another, stranger Civil War anniversary today.
On July 22, 1975, the House of Representatives joined the Senate in voting to restore full American citizenship to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The joint resolution made the restoration retroactive to June 13, 1865.
More than a hundred years earlier, Lee had signed his Amnesty Oath in Lexington, Virginia, on October 2, 1865, the same day he was inaugurated as president of Washington College. He swore to defend the Constitution and all laws that had "been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves."
Lee died in October 1870.
Why did it take so long for his citizenship to be restored if he had signed an amnesty oath? According to this Facebook post from the National Archives at Boston, "Apparently Secretary of State William H. Seward had given Lee's application to a friend as a souvenir, and the State Department had pigeonholed the oath."
The document was filed away with the State Department records, eventually coming to the National Archives, where an archivist came across it in 1970, more than one hundred years later.

Thirty-two members of the City Council have signed a letter to Gov. Cuomo and state legislators urging them to pass bills that would mandate employment protection provisions for experienced bus drivers and matrons as part of all future school bus contracts. The session ends this week.
The city removed EPPs from contracts following a 2011 ruling from the New York State Court of Appeals which found EPPs to be illegal. The case was brought by bus company owners.
Drivers and matrons subsequently went on a one-month strike in January 2013, but failed to move former Mayor Mike Bloomberg to change course.
Mayor de Blasio and numerous council-members promised to fight to restore EPPs during their campaigns last year.
Councilman Daneek Miller (D-St. Albans), chairman of the Committee on Civil Service and Labor, said EPPs are a benefit for the workforce and vital to the safety of students.
"Our city must prioritize the safe transportation of our school children," Miller said in a statement issued by his office last week. Council Speaker Melissa Mark Viverito (D-Manhattan) said in a statement that she and the other signers of the letter "believe New York City's school children need experienced, safe bus drivers on city streets."
Mark-Viverito's response did not address questions put to her about the possibility of bus companies going to court again should EPPs be codified in law, a suit which could potentially result in the same ban in effect for preschool contracts, thus leaving the Council and bus drivers' unions little or no room to negotiate. Miller, a former union president, said he always wants to see both sides negotiating.
"However, the companies who have historically provided quality and professional care did so with the EPP in place and remain willing to do so," Miller said.
He said he has spoken with bus companies fearful of reprisal from the Department of Education if they speak up.

Horizon baseball coach Eric Kibler may have the right idea.
When the Huskies host their annual National Invitational Tournament in late March, they do so in part to simulate what the state tournament will be like in mid-May.
Three or four consecutive games test the pitching staff to see if it's more than two or three deep.
Teams in the Fiesta Region also are catching on to that notion. Gilbert district athletic director Mark Cisterna, who is in charge of putting together the region's baseball schedules for the next two-year block, said coaches are interested in playing three region games a week a couple of times.
''I think teams realize that developing pitching depth is important,'' Cisterna said.
The Fiesta has played just two region games a week for the most part the last two years, partly to accommodate Yuma Kofa, which bears a travel burden and plays five doubleheaders during the region season.
Next year Kofa is moving out of the region and Casa Grande is taking its place, so the travel issue is not that big a factor. The Central, Desert Valley and East Valley regions have all played three region games in a week at some point this season.
A couple of key players have been injured on 4A East Sky Region baseball teams.
R.C. Chandler, the shortstop for No. 2 Coronado, sprained a thumb ligament last week. Coach Buck Holmes wasn't sure as of Monday when Chandler, who is hitting .540, would return.
Over at Saguaro, first baseman and cleanup hitter Mike Miles has been lost for the season after breaking a knuckle in a loss last week to Chaparral.
It's no secret — and 5A East Valley Region baseball coaches admit it — that the Mesa schools are down this year in overall strength. The chore the last three weeks for region leader Mountain View is to sharpen its play and know that once the postseason begins, the competition will jump up a notch or so.
Mountain View is 8-0 in region play after sweeping Westwood, Skyline, Dobson and Mesa in two-game series. The Toros are hitting well for average and power and getting solid pitching from seniors Brad Mills and Dayton Hansen. Mountain View entered region play 5-6 and has surged to a 13-6 record over the last three weeks. Mountain View's six losses have come against Glendale Ironwood, Desert Vista, Yuma Cibola, El Dorado (Calif.), Tucson Sunnyside and Tucson Salpointe.
Mountain View's baseball team has a Pritchert (Andy) and a Pritchard (Rhett). The former plays outfield and the latter shortstop. Heading into today's game with Red Mountain, both are batting .492. Rhett is the guy with more home runs (six).

Review: JustResizeIt Free for Mac resizes images quickly and easily
Resize images with ease using default or custom-made widgets, accessible through your Mac dashboard.
JustResizeIt Free for Mac allows you to quickly resize large images using default or custom-made widgets. Lightweight and speedy, this application is more accessible than traditional image resizing apps because of the ingenious way in which it uses widgets. It's an excellent choice for any Mac user, but especially for photographers and graphic designers.
The installation of JustResizeIt Free for Mac requires the installation of Adobe AIR. If you don't have this runtime system already, the installation might take a while. Once you have the runtime and the app up and running, you are ready to start resizing your images. The application allows you to drag and drop your photos into widgets that can resize large images to the specified size and quality or to the predefined percent of their original size. This approach to resizing is much more convenient than importing and exporting images using a conventional image converter. But the true power of the app is the ability to create and define the appearance of custom widgets, making them easily distinguishable from defaults. We tested the app, resizing a 2.4MB JPEG photo with dimensions of 2448 X 3264 pixels; the app completed the resizing quickly, maintaining the quality of the image and not distorting it in any way.
If you want a more convenient way to resize photos without the hassle of having to open up bulky photo editors, JustResizeIt Free for Mac will impress you. With its intuitive resizing widgets, practical interface, and advanced resizing options, this app stands out from other similar tools. Download it and you'll fall in love.

I have a lot of runners for the dining room table or buffet. They are in a variety of materials, from old crocheted ones, embroidered linen and cutwork ones, to modern ones of velvet and embroidery. I have only one good place to keep them, which is in the drawers of my buffet, which are deep. I find in getting them out, I often mess up the others. I have started to roll them up on empty paper towel rolls, or gift wrap rolls. They get much less wrinkled that way, and I don't get creases from folding. But I know that such cardboard rolls are not acid free. Should I cover the rolls with plastic before rolling the runners on? Like slipping it inside a plastic bag? Or is that just as bad, or worse? I have been thinking about rolling up a linen tablecloth instead of folding it, as well. Thank you. |

I imagine avoiding folding will help old fabrics because folds eventually wear and tear along fold lines after years of storage. However, I do think plastic emits some chemical fumes, so I imagine rolling them up in acid free paper would be better. |

Although its name may be misleading, the Anakonda KAN200 is in no way, shape or form a snake product. Instead, K-array's Anakonda is a flexible speaker. That's right, a speaker that isn't rigid and can wrap around corners. It's designed to be used where conventional box speakers just can't cut it. The sleekness and flexibility of the Anakonda allows it to be stealthily installed. You never notice how visually unappealing box speakers are until they're out of the picture.
To protect against dust and nature in general, the Anakonda KAN200 comes with a fabric sock. This ensures that the sound quality will remain unchanged whether you're using the speaker indoors or outdoors. With all of the audio technology advancements of the past few years, it's amazing that nobody came up with a flexible speaker sooner.

8 Scenes We Love From 'Coming to America'
Features By Christopher Campbell on June 30, 2013 | Comments (3)Despite its arrival two years after the surprise success of 'Crocodile' Dundee, the similarly premised Coming to America hardly seemed like a knockoff. Sure it is also about a strange foreigner who visits New York City and experiences a comical culture clash, but the 1980s were actually so full of movies of this nature (see also Moscow on the Hudson, Splash, Brother From Another Planet, Big Business, both The Muppets and Jason Take Manhattan and maybe even Big, which along with 'Crocodile' Dundee II had just recently come out ahead of this), so it wasn't a big deal. Besides, with Eddie Murphy at the peak of his career at the time there was no way this thing could fail. This weekend is the 25th anniversary of the release of Coming to America (specifically yesterday), and although a lot of obvious parts are dated (some of which actually make the movie funnier now), it remains a rather timeless metropolitan fairy tale. It's still one of the top three Murphy comedies (the other two being Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop, of course), features some amazing make-up work by Rick Baker that would be still be worthy of its Oscar nomination if done today, excellent African dance choreography from little known Paula Abdul and in recent years it provided tons more laughs via the meme in which any dialogue spoken by James Earl Jones is dubbed over scenes of Darth Vader. As ripe as the plot would seem for a remake, hopefully it […]
31 Days of Horror: An American Werewolf in London (1981)
31 Days of Horror By Rob Hunter on October 25, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThey said it couldn't be done. A fifth year of 31 Days of Horror? 31 more terror, gore and shower scene-filled movies worth highlighting? But Rejects always say die and never back away from a challenge, so we've rounded up the horror fans among us and put together another month's worth of genre fun. Enjoy! Synopsis: Two American friends backpacking through the UK are attacked on the moors by a werewolf. Jack (Griffin Dunne) is mauled to death, but David (David Naughton)survives the attack with bite and claw wounds. Dreams where he runs naked through the woods tearing into animals with his teeth hint that something is wrong, and visits from a decomposing Jack seem to confirm it. Something is very wrong indeed. Thankfully, it's also very very funny.
7 Directors Who Got Their Start in Science Fiction
Cinematic Listology By Kevin Carr on June 7, 2012 | Comments (5)Science fiction has long been considered by some experts to be a lesser genre than traditional dramas and character studies. Because it lends itself so easily to exploitation, science fiction isn't always given the respect it deserves. Sure, it tends to be a box office winner, as evidenced by the fact that more than half of the all-time domestic grossing films fit easily in that genre (with at least two more – Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Shrek 2 – marginally related as genre films). Still, some still consider science fiction something not to be taken seriously. It is for this reason that "legitimate" film directors might shy away from science fiction in lieu of more important or significant projects. However, many directors got their start or their earliest fame from working in science fiction and other allegedly exploitative and pulp genres. This week's release of Prometheus reminds us that even though Ridley Scott has directed historical epics (Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven), military action films (Black Hawk Down), crime thrillers (American Gangster) and straight dramas (Thelma & Louise), he got his start in science fiction with Alien and Blade Runner. Scott isn't the only director to begin a successful career in science fiction. Here are seven other directors who started out or received some of their earliest success in this genre.
Get the Band Back Together and Pay Your Taxes with 'The Blues Brothers' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on April 16, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDo you have your taxes done? The clock is ticking away to midnight on April 17th to file. If you don't, you might end up owing $5,000 to the government, and unlike a certain Chicago orphanage, you can't rely on "Joliet" Jake Blues and his brother Elwood to raise that money for you. Although released more than 30 years ago, The Blues Brothers still strikes a chord with audiences around the world. Revisit the classic SNL-spawned musical from the days when SNL films were actually good. Kick back and wash down your dry white toast and four fried chickens with blue-collar beer from a honky-tonk bar. Just make sure you fill out those tax forms before you're done with the game, or you might not remember to mail them.
10 Incredibly Cool Movie Easter Eggs To Hunt For
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 9, 2012 | Comments (3)If you're "too old" to skulk around all hunch-backed in your own yard looking for the painted eggs your little cousin hid for you, why are you holding that remote with the Pause Button at the ready? We all love hunting. It's in our nature. Just like we love discounted Criterion titles, free scotch and foot massages that don't mean anything sexual. So here are some Movie Easter Eggs to hunt down. Bonus one? They involve movies, so you have a solid excuse to just watch movies all week. Bonus two? If you can't find them, they won't smell rotten after a few days. And be sure to add your favorite in the comments section for fellow hunter/gatherers:
College kids are very much focused on and engaged with the present. They know the hippest music that came out this month, they're passionate as hell about whatever social issue was being talked about on the cable news channels this morning. Talk about something new, and a nineteen-year-old's eyes light up. But talk about their dad's favorite music or the social issues the world was going through twenty years ago, and they glaze over. So why can you go in any dorm in the country today and still find someone watching John Landis's 1978 comedy Animal House? This film is an everlasting staple of college life. The Deer Hunter won Best Picture in 1978, but good luck walking into a college party and trying to get anybody to watch that. But if you tell them you're popping in a copy of Animal House, they'd be totally cool with it. To a college kid 1994 seems like ancient history. Yet, comparatively, the stuff that was made in 1994 feels much more contemporary than stuff from 1978. So why is it that if you asked a college kid what his favorite line from Animal House is he would probably have an answer, but if you asked him what his favorite line from the 1994 college comedy PCU is, he would look back at you with a blank stare (trust me, I manage college-aged employees at my day job, I do these tests)? PCU resembles current comedies much more than Animal House does […]
Interview: John Landis Talks 'Burke and Hare', Charles Bronson's Glower, and Dodging a Silver Bullet with 'The Wolfman'
Features By Jack Giroux on September 3, 2011 | Comments (1)With Burke and Hare, John Landis has marked his return to the world of feature filmmaking. He's kept busy the last few years, albeit not in the way his fans would prefer him to be, but still preoccupied nonetheless. However, this dark romantic comedy brings him back to the genre he once mastered. Like many of the director's acclaimed comedies, Burke and Hare is about the unlikeliest of leads. The murdering duo (played by Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis) could easily slip into being nothing but despicable, but that has always seemed to be a fun challenge for Landis. The Blues Brothers, the Animal House gang, and so on, are not particularly "good" people. In most films, they would be the villains. Landis, on the other hand, always sets out to make them the heroes. Here's what the personable John Landis had to say about how this isn't his return, following antiheroes, being in the intimidating presence of Charles Bronson, and why he didn't direct The Wolfman:
'An American Werewolf in London' Director John Landis is Bringing A Monster to Gay Paris
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 11, 2011 | Comments (1)Seeing as he is the man responsible for such seminal comedy classics as Animal House and The Blues Brothers, there is a chunk of the population at large that considers John Landis to be a comedic director. I mean, this is the guy who made Coming to America; clearly he's the master of the chuckle. Horror fans will tell you different, however. Not only did Landis first cut his teeth on a monster movie called Schlock, he's also the man responsible for one of the greatest horror movies of the 80s An American Werewolf in London. Why was that movie so good? Because it took Average Joe characters that we could relate to and put them into genuinely horrific circumstances, because it used top of the line practical and makeup effects to bring its creature elements to life. It didn't show off with how much it could do using computer animation like modern horror; it stuck to giving us things that felt real and consequently made our skin crawl. For my money the monster and gore milieu never got any better than when directors like John Carpenter and John Landis were making gross movies with practical special effects, so of course horror fans must be wondering if Landis ever plans on dipping his toe back into the genre. Well, turns out, he does.
Blood, Sweat and Latex: Howling American Werewolves and a Make Up Effects Explosion
Blood Sweat and Latex By Shannon Shea on June 20, 2011 | Comments (5)For those of you new to the column, I am revisiting formative events in my life that have made me what I am today: A Special Effects Make Up Artist searching for relevance in the 21st Century. I left my home in a suburb of Gretna, Louisiana, traveled to Valencia, California where I attended the California Institute of the Arts. I am nineteen… Being in college, in California, in 1981, was like being in the front seat of an incredible roller coaster. Unlike how it was in New Orleans, where I would be lucky if I was able to get a hold of a genre magazine like Cinefantastique because it was not consistently available in news stands, now I felt like I was closer to "the hub" than ever. Magazines, trade papers, Hollywood poster stores, all were up to date with what was happening in motion pictures. There was also the benefit of being in one of the two (or three) "preview" cities for new films. Altered States, for instance, had opened in late November rather than at Christmas time when it opened wide, nationally. This, for a fan and initiate to Make Up Effects, was like being at ground zero.
The Very Silly First Trailer for John Landis' 'Burke and Hare'
Movie News By Neil Miller on October 5, 2010 | Be the First To CommentWith the Andy Serkis and Simon Pegg led film Burke & Hare, John Landis appears to be fusing the two things he has done well in the past 35 years of filmmaking: silly comedy and blood-spilling horror. Based on this first trailer though, it would appear as if the pendulum is swinging more to the side of silliness than it is to violence. It certainly fits into Landis' filmography somewhere in between the gnarly nature of An American Werewolf in London and the ridiculousness of Three Amigos, telling the true life story of William Burke and William Hare, a pair of intrepid wanderers who take to the business of collecting bodies. But when the well of fresh ones run out, they find a way to make their own. Of course, the film itself (based on this first trailer) is far sillier than the actual act of murder. If you don't find murder to be fun, that is…
American Grindhouse was my most anticipated film of SXSW 2010. I have studied grindhouse and exploitation cinema with the fervor of a doctoral candidate. But my research has been limited to simply getting my hands on as many of the films as possible so it's all based on knowledge of the product. So the documentary American Grindhouse seemed gift-wrapped for me.
Considering the essence of Austin, and the large segment of its movie-loving population that really gets into this kind of film — we see them every week at the Alamo Drafthouse on Terror Tuesday and Weird Wednesday — this seems like the perfect doc for SXSW. And that's an assumption made on premise alone. Wait until you see the images and trailer…

An American Werewolf Could Return to London, Says Landis
In Development By J.L. Sosa on June 23, 2008 | Comments (5)An American Werewolf in London was far-and-away the best of a bumper crop of lycanthropic flicks to emerge in the early '80s. Now AAWiL's writer and director, John Landis, says he's keen to remake his own horror/black comedy classic.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I was a young teenager when I was first introduced to this story. It was still commonplace to find religion in the public school system, and the film was shown to everyone in my high school, and the book read in some English classes. I loved it. For years I fantasized about how and where I would hide people who would die without my help and complicity, and wondered how brave I would be under similar circumstances. It was a story that affected my personal growth to a great degree. As an adult re-reading the book, I confess myself a little disappointed, but still in awe of the courage of the family. What disappointed me was the same thing that fascinated me as a youngster: then I found the easy faith of the ten Boom family comforting and empowering; as an embittered 50-year old I found the same virtue of faith cloying and simplistic. It is I, and not the book, which has changed. Still, it's definitely praiseworthy and recommended. Corrie ten Boom was the youngest child in a family of Haarlem watchmakers. Corrie's brother became a pastor and one of her older sisters married a school teacher. Neither Corrie nor her oldest sister, Betsie, married, and Corrie went into the family business while Betsie took care of the housekeeping after their mother's death. For as long as Corrie could remember, their house had been home to more than just their immediate family. Several of her mother's sisters lived with the family until their deaths, and her father took in several foster children after his own children were grown. It was natural for the Ten Booms to offer hospitality and a place of refuge to Jews and to others who were sought by the Nazis during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Their home became the nucleus of an underground network that funneled Jews to safety. When the network inevitably became known to the Germans, several family members were arrested, and Corrie and her sister, Betsie, eventually ended up in the concentration camp at Ravensbruck. Their strong Christian faith enabled them to endure much suffering during their imprisonment. This was a re-read for me. Corrie has been one of my heroes since I first read this book as a young adult. What impressed me on the first reading was Corrie's encounter with one of her former guards at Ravensbruck who had come to hear her speak at a church in Germany. He sought her out after the meeting and asked for her forgiveness. This time through, I saw Betsie's influence in this encounter. In the concentration camp, Corrie was moved by the suffering of their fellow prisoners and dedicated herself to ministering to them. Betsie was moved by the spiritual poverty of the guards and other officials, and she dreamed of ministering to them after the war. It would seem that Betsie's dream motivated Corrie to speak of God's forgiveness in German churches in the years following the war. I've learned much more about the war and the Holocaust in the years since I first read this book. There is no question that European Jews were persecuted for their faith, and I'm thankful for every Holocaust memoir that preserves the stories of individuals who suffered in the concentration camps and who witnessed the mass exterminations of Jews. Corrie ten Boom's account is a reminder that it wasn't only Jews who were persecuted by the Nazis. It seems that Christianity wasn't welcome in the camps either. The Ten Booms were arrested when they had gathered for a Bible study in their home. Corrie and Betsie smuggled Bibles into the prison and later into the concentration camp. They held Bible studies and prayer meetings with other prisoners in secret. This time through I was struck by how well-written this book is. The authors take an episodic approach to Corrie's life, and each chapter tells a story. The audio production is outstanding, and the narrator tells Corrie's story as if she had lived it herself. This is a classic of Christian literature that probably hasn't been out of print since its publication. It will also appeal to readers interested in accounts of occupied territories and resistance movements in World War II. Corrie Ten Boom tells of her family's experiences during the German occupation of Holland during WWII. Captured as the organizer of an underground ring that supplied ration cards and rescued Jews, she was imprisoned, and then sent to Ravensbruck Concentration Camp with one of her sisters. "The Hiding Place" by Corrie Ten Boom is a modern classic of history, inspiration, and Christianity in action. Growing up in a Christian family in Holland Corrie ten Boom has many fascinating stories of romance and service as her sisters and brother get married, as her aunts and mother die, and she herself loses her true love and decides to grow into God's greater love. Corrie becomes the Netherland's first female watch repairer to help her father. She and her sister Betse and Nollie, and brother Willems all are involved in helping Jews as they flee from Nazi Germany into Holland during the 30s. Then the war comes and Holland is conquered. They now help the Jews hide in their own home. They become part of the Dutch underground resistance and their home becomes the center of Jewish hiding places. In 1944, they are caught and imprisoned, transferred from one prison to another and then Corrie and Betse go to Ravensbruck, the German concentration camp. There is much more and it is all inspirational. Corrie does not spare herself, but shows her fears and weaknesses through all the trials she faces. Read this book and be changed. This book is definitely directed to Christians, but there is no reason why others should not read it. It is very informative and it is written in a clear-cut, simple way; in a straight forward manner, it describes the horrors of World War II, and it documents the terror that Corrie Ten Boom actually experienced. Although some of the information presented may seem exaggerated to some, I feel comfortable writing that the book seems based on facts. This is a story about courage in the face of despicable evil, a story about a family in Holland that was willing to put the needs of others above their own. This is a story about the Underground, a story about the Ten Booms who rescued Jews and hid them in their own home, selflessly. Through the trauma and pain, they never doubted their purpose or their actions; they believed that what they were doing was right, and perhaps, it was G-d's will. No matter what your belief in G-d is, you will find this story inspiring because it is about true kindness, true compassion, true sacrifice. Two of the sisters experienced Concentration Camp life together and that helped each in its own way; Betsie benefitted from Corrie's love and care when she was ill; She ministered to others and always saw the silver lining, even in the worst of circumstances. She helped Corrie out of her bouts of anger and despair. Betsie, in the spirit of her religion, forgave the sinners and pitied them for their malevolence, prayed for them and hoped to help them too. She forgave their wickedness. If she was truly able to help others to survive the most awful conditions, let's agree to accept that her gift came from somewhere. This stirring story comes out of the blackest period of history. The ability to forgive those who have wronged you is surely not an easy thing to do, and yet, that is what Corrie does when she is finally free. She fulfills Betsie's dream. She finds a beautiful home, like her sister imagined, where the rescued could be rehabilitated and introduced into society again. Before the war, at home, in Haarlem, Corrie's father took in homeless children and her sister Betsie, like her mother before her death, fed the hungry. The Second World War in Europe screamed from the radio, but the changes taking place hardly interrupted their lives until the night of the Prime Minister's speech, the night that he promised the people there would be no war, and yet, it turned out to be the very night that the bombs began to fall. Holland was being attacked despite the promises that their neutrality would be respected. Very soon, the Queen left and they were occupied by the Germans. Life slowly began to change. The Ten Booms rose to the challenge they faced. As a Jew, I truly appreciated the effort of these righteous Christians and the honesty with which their story is portrayed. Although it doesn't mention much about the horrors the Jews were subjected to, it shines a light on the horrors that were visited upon the political prisoners who tried to help them, and their plight was, if not as bad and desperate, surely a close second after what I read. So many suffered the same terror, the same fear of arrest, the same humiliation and torture, the same starvation and deprivation as the Jews, though their numbers did not mount into the millions. Perhaps it was their belief in the power of miracles and their belief in Jesus that sustained them, whatever it was, it clearly worked. Many people who survived the war tell of miraculous occurrences that just seemed to occur, crediting these with saving their lives. There were many unsung heroes who risked their lives, ultimately sacrificing them, so that others might live and end the evil perpetrated by the National Socialists, the Nazis. The Ten Boom family was humble and faithful. They started every day with a prayer session to which all were welcome. They had food at the ready for the needy and a bed for those who found themselves homeless. Their unmitigated courage and kindness should be recognized and honored. They truly lived righteously at a time when malevolence was everywhere, perhaps because they lived everyday righteously, even without the thought of impending doom hanging over their heads.. The belief in Christ is definitely a major theme in the book, but I didn't find it offensive. I was reading about their experience and their beliefs. Their vivid descriptions of conditions seemed so precise that I could see the fleas and the lice crawling. If they wanted to find G-d's hand, even in that filth, that was okay with me. The issues they faced were dealt with openly, as with the dialog about the physical appearance of some Jews, how they were described in some cases as too Semitic looking to easily hide. While this might seem a negative, stereotypical description of Jews, since only one was described as lovely and blonde and there was disbelief that she too was sacrificed, it seemed honest, it was the only time I sensed some possible prejudice. The family was aware of the fact that people were disappearing at a time that most people turned a blind eye and they offered to help even when the clergy refused. Eventually, they were betrayed by a collaborator, yet Betsie, and eventually Corrie, forgave their enemies or at least tried to with the help of their G-d. No matter how many Holocaust books I read, I always learn something and I always am incredulous and brought to tears. So I respect whatever power worked for these righteous Gentiles. This is not a newly published work, but it will never be too late to read it and profit from their experience, from their courage and their example. no reviews | add a review

First thing to do is figure out exactly how many servings they are ordering, so you make the right sized cakes. There's too much difference between 50 servings and 70.
If you make a cake big enough to feed 70, than you should get paid for every serving. Like wise if your cake is small why should the client pay for 20 more servings than you gave them?
Second thing you must look at is, what is a reasonable price per serving? Go to a restaurant and order a piece of cake........see what they charge you. Go to your local bakery and find out what they charge per serving. If you charge them $120. for 70 servings that's $1.71 per serving. I can't think of any place in the world that would charge that little. Even a cupcake with-out any decoration on it costs more.
So start doing the math yourself.
How long did it take to make that cake? (I'd guess 8 hours for a beginner, going to the store to get the ingredients, baking and decorating.)
How much did it cost you to buy the ingredients? (I'd guess it cost you around $50.00 to make that cake)
Where does the math take you:
$120.00 minus $50.00 in ingredient costs gives you $70.00 of profit.
If you spent 8 hours making that cake, $70. divided by 8 hours, equals $8.75 per hour of payment.
You also have over head., since you can't post this question unless you are a legal business.
My guess is your overhead is $2.00 per hour.
Than ask yourself if your work was worth $6.75 per hour? Even a 16 year old gets more pay per hour than that at a minimum wage job in the US. So regardless of your experience decorating cakes, is your time really worth that little pay?

Then you even admit (whether you meant to or not) that the Run game sucked, because we did not have the talent( a fact I have pointed out numerous times)
So Ben and a team that at one time was 2nd in the league in TOP and 3rd down conversions could not sustain drives(BTW they were 2nd in TOP last year too). You want to down Ben for a lack of run game but you admit we did not have the tools necessary. You on a roll again, sorry I went yo bed, I could of had a field day with this kind of reasoning.
Drives can also be sustained by picking up first downs on 1st and 2nd down. Sustaining drives is measured in first downs not in 3rd down conversion percentage.
This is possibly why Steelers were 17th in 1st downs/game. (Pats 1st, Broncos 3rd, Saints 5th, Packers 7th). That rounds out the elite qbs nicely. All top 10 once again just like the points they score year after year.
Can I expect an apology in the near future? Or will you dogmatically pursue your agenda of attacking the Steelers to preserve the illusion of Ben?
The personnel of the Steelers offense was designed to appease Ben. Yes it was. Tomlin spoke of "arming Ben with weapons" and then drafted Mendenhall and Sweed in his first year. You know... the year of Ben's tall wr comments? Do you consider Limas tall at 6-4? Is there any correlation between Tomlin's "arming with weapons" comments, Ben's "tall wr" comments and the 2008 NFL draft selection of a tall wr? Mike Wallace was drafted the following year, and Brown and Sanders the year after that. Having Ward, Wallace, Brown, Sanders, Miller, and Mendenhall on the team was done specifically to surround Ben with "weapons." This team was built around Ben he has had EVERY opportunity to succeed.
