"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: Entertainment News
In June 1909, Gustav Mahler didn't want to go back into his hut. At the time, the incorrigible composer was living in a big farmhouse in the Dolomite mountains in South Tyrol, Austria (now Italy). His restless wife, Alma, and daughter, Anna, were staying at a spa 60 miles to the south in the town of Levico, taking the waters. The hut, a wooden shack with windows, furnished with a piano, sat in a grove of pine trees, a quarter mile from the farmhouse.
For over a decade, Mahler had been shacking up in the woods to write music. Alone in his huts with his fountain pens and blank staves, he drew his musical breath from the encompassing forests, lakes and mountains. In the summer of 1896, the German conductor Bruno Walter visited Mahler in the Austrian alps and gazed up at the steep cliffs. The bold composer told his young acolyte not to bother looking at them. "I have already composed that all away," he said. He was referring to his Third Symphony, with its exhilarating peaks of cellos and basses, rushing river of trumpets and trombones.
But now his Tyrolean shack, which he called a cellar, had to wait. "I haven't yet summoned the courage to move into the cellar," he wrote Alma. (Mahler's "Letters to His Wife," the first complete edition in English, was published in October 2004.) For one thing, it was cold and the hut needed a new stove. So Mahler dawdled around the farmhouse, where he was renting the upper floor, complaining, as he often did, about the noise made by the owners.
"When these yokels whisper, the windows rattle, when they tiptoe, it shakes the rafters," he wrote. "All day their two sweet offspring chirp away: 'Bibi! Bibi!'" Then of course there was the dog. It "barks from sundown until long after the yokels have entered the Land of Nod. Every quarter of an hour I'm woken by the dulcet tones of their snoring. Damn it all: how wonderful the world would be if one could fence off a couple of acres and live within them completely undisturbed." Yes, Mahler could be a real charmer.
The courage he was trying to summon, though, wasn't just to face the frigid weather. He was bursting with new ideas and was anxious to start his Ninth Symphony; earlier in the year, he had exclaimed to Walter, "I see everything in such a new light — am in such a state of flux, sometimes I should hardly be surprised to find myself in a new body." But exposing that new light meant descending into solitude, and as much as Mahler loved only the company of his own music, that journey had been getting more difficult to make. The previous summer in the Dolomites had been one of the most emotionally wrenching in his career.
During those months, Mahler wrote "Das Lied von der Erde" ("The Song of the Earth"), a symphony of six songs based on "The Chinese Flute," an adaptation of ancient Chinese poems by a young German lyric poet, Hans Bethge. The song cycle was a musical breakthrough for him, although not an uncharacteristic one. He had been setting poetry, including his own love poems, to orchestral music since he was a budding composer in his teens. By 1908, two years shy of 50, he had illuminated his volatile symphonies, particularly the sprawling Eighth, with vocal music, and transformed lieder with the magnetic hues of his own dark soul. "The Kindertotenlieder," finished in 1904, and based on tales about the death of children by German poet Friedrich Rückert, seemed to foretell the death of Mahler's own 4-year-old daughter, Maria, from scarlet fever and diphtheria in 1907.
But "Das Lied von der Erde" was something else altogether. Two days after Maria died, Alma collapsed when she glimpsed the tiny coffin being loaded onto a carriage. After treating her, the doctor examined Mahler and discovered he had a congenital heart defect. The prognosis wasn't fatal and the eternally willful Mahler wasn't devastated by it. He was upset mostly because the doctor told him to go easy on the long walks in the woods and swims in cold mountain lakes, which had always undammed the first torrent of notes in his symphonies. But in the wake of his daughter's death, learning he had a flawed heart understandably scattered his musical bearings. In a remarkable letter to Walter, written from the farmhouse in July 1908, Mahler tried to explain his mood.
"If I am to find the way back to myself again, I must surrender to the horrors of loneliness. But fundamentally I am only speaking in riddles, for you do not know what has been and still is going on in me; but it is certainly not that hypochondriac fear of death, as you suppose. I had already realized that I shall have to die. But without trying to explain or describe you something for which there are perhaps no words at all, I'll just tell you that at a blow I have simply lost all the clarity and quietude I ever achieved … and now at the end of life am again a beginner who must find his feet."
That Mahler found his feet with "Das Lied von der Erde" is one of the most magnificent accomplishments in music history. Composed for tenor and alto voices, Mahler orchestrated the unadorned oriental poems with exquisite precision. The finished work blooms with his innate passion for nature, soaring like the sun, and settling, like a falling leaf, into a trembling reconciliation with death. Its final song, "Der Abschied" ("Farewell"), particularly as sung by Kathleen Ferrier in a now legendary 1952 recording, conducted by Walter, stops any listener's heart from beating, filling the stillness with a longing for which, truly, there are no words.
"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful," Benjamin Britten, the literary British composer, wrote to a friend in 1937, after playing a recording of "Der Abschied" all night. "It has the beauty of loneliness, and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony."
"Tomorrow I'll go down to the shack," Mahler wrote to Alma on June 21, 1909, having finally decided to brave the cold weather with a cheap paraffin stove. By the end of the summer, the chilled composer had written an encore to "Das Lied von der Erde." Much more than an encore. "To anyone who knows how to listen, my whole life will become clear, for my creative works and my existence are interwoven," Mahler boasted early in his career. The Ninth, written in an amazing four months, embodies his clarion, stunning summation.
Scrawled on the messy score of the Ninth's first movement are the words, "O days of youth! Vanished! O Love! Scattered!" At the end of the fourth and final movement, Mahler inscribed, "O Beauty! Love! Farewell! Farewell! World! Farewell!" You might say the portentous notes are a good indication of the composer's state of mind. But Mahler composed all of his symphonies as if Thanatos was staring in his window. Intimations of mortality were his middle name. While the melodramatic notes suggest he was writing with a renewed force and immediacy, they don't reflect the intensely refined symphony that he ultimately produced.
Unlike his practice in his earlier, signature works, such as the Third and Sixth, Mahler didn't kick off his Ninth with a throat-grabbing fanfare or heart-pounding march. By the time of the Ninth, the mature composer had honed his arsenal of big statements into concentrated chords of exquisite power. He channeled the Zen clarity of the poems in "Das Lied von der Erde" into every last grace note in the Ninth.
The symphony dawns on two spare phrases, played on cello and harp, that sway like a haunted lullaby, punctuated by a muted trumpet as keen as an owl's call. Conductor Leonard Bernstein maintained that this seesaw rhythm symbolized Mahler's unsteady heartbeat. A melody slowly arises, evoking the quivering serenity of "Der Abschied," and lodges in profoundly simple rhythms that feel unlike any Mahler ever wrote. In the first movement alone, this simple band of motifs journeys through the firmament of the orchestra — and Mahler's memory — gaining menacing violins at one turn, haunting trombones at another, and thundering cymbals at yet another. Churning violins, with trumpets and timpani in tow, pick up speed and race toward crescendos that erupt but never climax. Like fireworks, the notes seem to trickle down from the sky.
In a letter to his wife, early 20th century Austrian composer Alban Berg described the emotional pull of the Ninth's first movement: "Everything earthly that has been dreamt away culminates in it (hence the climaxes breaking forth like new ebullitions after the sweetest passages) — strongest, naturally, at the uncanny place where this premonition of death becomes certainty, where in the midst of the deepest, most painful lust for life … Death announces his arrival."
You don't have to be a masterful composer, though, to feel that in the Ninth, Mahler is no longer animating nature but has become the animating force of nature itself. The music is so pure it makes a humble mystic out of you. And that's just the first movement. The symphony's simple motifs are not done casting their spells. In the following movements, they transform into a drunken waltz, dissonant rondo, and tranquil adagio. They borrow phrases from the Johann Strauss tune "Enjoy Life," Beethoven's Sonata Op. 81, and Mahler's own Second ("Resurrection") Symphony, always retaining their unadorned shape and power.
The Ninth's collage of forms signal Mahler's trademark style — but this time they embody much more. The Ninth is his remembrance of things past, mostly musical things. Theodor Adorno, the German critic, philosopher and passionate Mahler scholar, wrote that the Ninth's first movement evokes the "splendor of immediate life reflected in the medium of memory." He was referring to the composer, but also listeners, who are drawn by the Ninth's open spaces into their own pasts, when music evoked a mysterious world of charm and danger. Adorno beautifully described the unfolding music in the Ninth as "irresistibly remembering."
Throughout his career, Mahler had stitched his influences into his symphonies, where he colored them to suit his own manic emotions. From his country kin in rural Bohemia, where he was raised, he sampled popular marches and songs, most notoriously "Freres Jacques" in his First Symphony. From the urban swirl of life in Vienna, where he went to college, he borrowed waltzes that were all the rage among the bourgeoisie, only to paint a mustache on them with pre-dadaist glee. Many critics — Mahler sarcastically called them "superiors" — labeled the composer a snob for bossing around popular music in his symphonies. But his pop references fueled his symphonies with urgency and energy and melted, as Mahler intended, the carapace of classical music traditions.
You might expect by the time Mahler got to the Ninth, he would have outgrown his punk-rock days of trashing his influences. He hadn't. The second ("Landlers") and third ("Rondo-Burleske") movements are as smart-alecky as he gets, sending up pastoral waltzes and bawdy country dances with a killer smirk. But the thrilling movements, unparalleled in structure, strike listeners as anything but one-dimensional. Coursing beneath their irony is a nostalgia as strong as a rip tide, pulling you under the music's dark currents. The two movements are Mahler's last dances, desperate and erotic, in a teeming ballroom. For 25 dizzying minutes they erase the mystical presentiments that surround them. "Joy flares high at the edge of horror," writes Adorno.
In the concluding adagio, the yearning cellos and trumpets, rollicking timpani and trombones, have shed their importunate edge. Only a serene tune, tenderly fleshed out by violins, deep as a mountain lake, remains. While sitting around the farmhouse, waiting for a new heater for his hut, Mahler answered a letter from Alma, explaining the meaning of the last scene in Goethe's "Faust." The structure of all great art vanishes, he wrote; after all, art is only a place holder for the inexpressible. He must have been anticipating the closing of the Ninth. "We have arrived," he wrote, "we are at rest, we are in possession of that which on earth we could only desire or strive for."
For almost a century now, the world's best conductors have shown they "know how to listen," as Mahler hoped they would, to his Ninth Symphony. Saying where one conductor succeeds and another fails is always subjective at best and totally geeky at worst. Given the extraordinary chops required to even keep the baton in sync with the complex score guarantees that the work will end up in accomplished hands. Since Walter first conducted the Ninth with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1912, maestros from Sir John Barbirolli to Pierre Boulez to Herbert von Karajan have unveiled countless great performances of the symphony, onstage and in the studio, from which no listener can walk away without having heard something masterful.
But conductors tune their own sensibilities, talents and times into a work, and in the past decade no conductor has been more in harmony with Mahler than Michael Tilson Thomas, music director of the San Francisco Symphony. Since 2001, Thomas and the top-flight orchestra have been recording a new cycle of Mahler's symphonies. So far, they have worked their way through six of the nine complete works (Mahler never finished his Tenth); in 2004, their radiant version of the Third won the Grammy for best classical album. This spring they released a sublime Ninth in what must be an emotional peak in the 60-year-old Thomas' acclaimed career.
Earlier this year, Thomas told Fanfare magazine the Ninth had always been special to him. It was the very first symphony he conducted as a professional, when he was 25 and with the Boston Symphony. "I felt the closest to it, I felt like I just understood everything it was about," he said. "I'm sort of more in a trance state with that one than with any one else; I feel like I'm stepping into this journey." Thomas' sojourn is remarkable for both getting inside the storm in Mahler's head and surfacing with a version that sounds fresh and modern. It's one that would surely suit the hairsplitting musician himself.
During his lifetime, Mahler was known primarily as a conductor. No artist was more famous in Vienna, the nucleus of European culture at the turn of the century — stomping ground of Gustav Klimt and Sigmund Freud — than "Herr Mahler," director of the Vienna Court Opera. Walter wrote that when Mahler "crossed the street, hat in hand, gnawing his lip or chewing his cheek, cabmen would turn to look at him and mutter, in tones of awe: 'Mahler himself!'" Gossip columnists incessantly wrote about his outbursts at musicians and singers who missed a cue, and his insistence on barring insouciant patrons who dared arrive a minute late for his performances.
The perfectionist conductor was also the meticulous composer. Alma relates the story of their daughter Anna, who as a little girl exclaimed to Mahler, "'Papi, I wouldn't like to be a note.' 'Why not?' he asked. 'Because then you might scratch me out and blow me away.'" Mahler himself said: "Everything must be heard, everything must sound." The "aspect of instrumentation in which I consider myself ahead of past and present composers can be summed up in a single word: clarity." He asserted that "each orchestral part should sound as though written for a human voice." This philosophy guides Thomas himself, who says with Mahler he strives to create "an overall sense of songfulness, so that the lines are played, as much as possible, as if they were being sung, with the kind of inflection and concept of breath that a singer would have, even in the music that's played by the strings."
Thomas' lyricism may surprise those who know his mentor was Bernstein, who sprung Mahler from cult status in America and exposed his symphonies to a wide audience. Bernstein harbored a grand vision of Mahler's music as "a camera that has caught Western society in the moment of its incipient decay." Only after the world suffered through Auschwitz, McCarthyism, the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, and South African apartheid, Bernstein wrote in 1967, "can we finally listen to Mahler's music and understand that it foretold it all."
Under Bernstein's baton, Mahler's mighty rhythms charged like locomotives, his melodies soared like Arctic winds, and his crescendos crashed into despairing hums. With Bernstein at the helm, the music achieved the one thing that new audiences valued most when they went to the symphony: having their minds blown. Thanks to Bernstein, Mahler was dynamite to the world's concert halls. Today, along with Mozart and Beethoven, Mahler is the one composer who can fill even the cheap seats.
In San Francisco, though, Thomas, like the marvelous Czechoslovakian conductor, Rafael Kubelik, dials down the Bernstein amplifier to magnify every line in Mahler's intricate scores. Thomas' precise and lyrical approach represents a perfect marriage of form and content in the Ninth. Without light in every note, the spare symphony can sound dim. Conversely, too much power can burn out its lambent glow. Adorno summarized Mahler's late work "as the density of the experience of fragility." Thomas handles the Ninth with care. The San Francisco Symphony sings the work electric.
At the end of the summer in 1909, when Mahler completed the Ninth, his mood was as bright as the sun. In September, he left the cold farmhouse in the Dolomites and traveled to Moravia, where he stayed with friends in their small castle in the country, not far from where he grew up. "I feel wonderful here!" he wrote to Alma. "Altogether, my stay here has done me a power of good. I can feel that it has put me at my ease. There's nothing for it: everyone needs warmth and sunshine. The thought of my various composing shacks fills me with horror. I may have spent the finest hours of my life in them, but my health has probably suffered in the process."
Mahler died on May 18, 1911, at age 50. He never heard the Ninth Symphony performed.

CFM International is studying further weight reductions for the Leap-X engine, satisfied that the baseline design will meet certification requirements.
It is examining the feasibility of reducing the thickness of the composite blades and fan case for the engine, says Leap-X programme director Ron Klapproth.
He says internal analysis has confirmed that the current design, which is based on scaled-down technology from the widebody-class GEnx-series, is strong enough to pass birdstrike and blade-out tests required for certification.
By shifting from metal to composite, the 18-blade Leap-X fan reduces overall weight by about 76kg (168lb).
To improve the strength, CFM also needed to change the manufacturing process. GEnx blades are fashioned using a two-ply lay-up process. The Leap-X material is manufactured using a three-dimensional woven resin transfer moulding process, improving the blade's strength.
CFM is building the eCore 2 demonstrator to test Leap-X components. Compared with the eCore 1 rig tests, the new demonstrator adds a second stage to the high-pressure turbine. The first dual-spool tests of the low- and high-pressure turbine spools are set to begin later this year.
Snecma has started endurance testing of the 180cm (71in)-diameter fan derived from a programme dubbed Mascot.

text: The Jacksonville Experiment post was very interesting. The information regarding lack of cue acceleration through the cueball is something I have been passing on for years, nice to have it proved. With regard to the draw shot by Corey and Alex, this is an example of "touch" with the cueball. Very simply the cueball must be moving forward slowly, but spinning backwards at contact. It can be done "easily", but requires "touch". The effect would be similar to spinning a hula hoop on edge across carpet. Spin the hoop in a backward motion, with forward force. The hoop will go forward, then come back. No matter how much backspin you put on it, if you throw it forward too hard, it will never get back to you. Same on the described shot. The key is to have the ball spinning backwards, with as little forward motion as possible. The "acceleration" principle comes into play here. The more hand force on the cue at impact transfers to forward momentum on cueball. The stick must be in midair at the strike point,(no hand contact) which will give you maximum "stoppage" of the cue.Conside that it takes not much force to hit the object ball and have it bank back. The hit must be extremely precise, at the threshold of miscueing, to impart maximum spin. A big key also is to hit slightly downward, for this seems to shave off more forward momentum as compared to the retardation of spin...be careful to avoid any hop. Now it is touch. The cueball must have the least forward momentum at impact, to start the object ball as slowly as possible. I would be surprised if Efren is not a master of this shot, for to me he "feels" the cueball better than most. The other option is to use a lighter cueball...lol.

Double award success for Merchants' Academy
Posted: May 25, 2014|
A BRISTOL school has received further national recognition for making rapid improvements, which are improving the life chances of its students.
Merchants' Academy Bristol has qualified for two educational outcomes awards from the independent organisation SSAT.
The first is because the academy is in the top 20 per cent of schools nationally for progress made by children in the five years between leaving primary school and sitting their GCSEs.
The second is for the continued improvement in exam results, which has seen the proportion of Merchants' Academy students passing at least five subjects at A*-C including English and maths rise from 17 per cent in 2009 to 51 per cent last year.
SSAT, which crunches official data on every school in the country to identify the top performers, has invited academy principal Anne Burrell to receive the awards at a regional celebration event in Birmingham next month.
Merchants' Academy was honoured by SSAT last year for continued improvement in GCSE outcomes ever since the £29 million school opened in 2008, replacing the former Withywood Community School. Results have risen by at least seven percentage points each year: 25 per cent in 2010, 32 per cent in 2011 and 40 per cent in 2012.
Last year, when the first group of students to join the new academy took their GCSEs, they achieved the best performance yet, with an increase of 11 percentage points.
SSAT also recognised the high proportion of students in 2013 who achieved at least three levels of progress from their performance in Key Stage 2 tests at the end of primary school: 78 per cent in English and 65 per cent in maths.
Mrs Burrell said: "These awards rightly reward the hard work and dedicated of students, staff, parents and governors. The amazing results achieved by the first students who were part of the academy from Year 7 confirm the vision of our sponsors, the Society of Merchant Venturers and the University of Bristol, in creating Merchants' Academy.
"The opportunities we are offering young people are changing their lives and their life chances. We are extremely proud of the excellent progress our students are making, both academically and personally. Our aim is for them all to achieve more than they ever thought possible."
Merchants' Academy received a 'good' rating from the watchdog Ofsted in 2011 and a year later it became an all-age academy when it incorporated the former Gay Elms Primary School. It provides many extra-curricular activities for students in a disadvantaged area of the city and is one of the only secondary schools in England with its own Army Cadet Force.
Education Secretary Michael Gove praised the school when he visited in February.
He said: "I have been so impressed by the cadets and by the students I have met and I am hugely impressed by the teachers. They are genuinely inspirational and go the extra mile.
"This school is one of the fastest improving in England and you young people are a credit to this country."
Sue Williamson, chief executive of SSAT, said of the double award success: 'Merchants' Academy, Bristol should be congratulated for their exceptional achievement. They have proved themselves to be leading the field in improving GCSE outcomes for their students.
"These results are testament to the commitment and hard work of the students, teachers and leadership team at Merchants' Academy, Bristol, and show what can be achieved when skilled teachers have high expectations and ambition for every young person. I am proud that this school is a member of the SSAT network."

Raleigh-Durham Deck Contractor
Anyone who owns a traditional wood deck can attest to the constant care required to keep it in reasonably good shape. But now you can enjoy all the advantages of a deck without the worry of maintenance, thanks to TimberTech.

And, because a TimberTech deck resists mildew, warping and termites, you won't need to replace boards that are rotting, uneven or damaged by insects.

TimberTech not only adds value to your lifestyle, it adds value to your home. When our professional deck builders install a new TimberTech composite deck—or replace a wood deck—you'll recoup much of your investment when you sell your home.

I went to a screening of The Brave One last night and came out happier than I expected.
I thought I'd go in and see a remake of Jodie Foster's other suspense movies like Flight Plan and Panic Room, with the same scared Jodie running about frantically - not exactly horrible, but not great either. I can happily say that that's not the case with The Brave One. Jodi is in essence a woman scorned; choosing to mete out her acceptance of her fiancee's death with vigilante justice.
Frankly, this movie is apparently a remake of Death Wish, with almost entire scenes basically copied from the earlier film. If you've seen Death Wish, then this might just be an up-to-date version of that flim for you. If you haven't seen Death Wish, then you'll be happy to see Foster in one of her better roles. The movie is well acted, very convincing, and in the screening I was in got the place very riled up. By the end of this film, the audience was in virtual bloodlust, applause erupted at each vigilante-killing, and we just begged for more. The film is gruesome in an American History X way moreso than a CSI way, and the very beginning might be hard to stomach for older viewers. Nonetheless, I'd pay to see this movie again.
One day, Jodie Foster, Terence Howard, and writer/director Neil Jordan (Breakfast on Pluto, The End of the Affair, The Butcher Boy, Michael Collins, The Crying Game, Mona Lisa, The Company of Wolves) will have to answer for The Brave One, a loose, uncredited remake of Michael Winner's Death Wish that's also an interminable, muddled, melodramatic, exploitative, retrograde revenge fantasy that's sadly a discredit to everyone involved. Why Foster, Howard, or Jordan became involved or what they saw in a formulaic, overwritten screenplay by Roderick Taylor and Bruce A. Taylor (American Outlaws) is a mystery that will, forevermore, remain unsolved. But we're getting ahead of ourselves here. Let's break it down, from the beginning.
Not surprisingly, The Brave One sets up the lead character, Erica Bain (Jodie Foster) for a hard, tragic fall from the outset. After all, no fall, no film. Bulky digital recorder in hand, Erica records the sounds and stories of New York City and shares them with the listeners of her radio program. At home, her life is no less perfect: she's engaged to David Kirmani (Naveen Andrew, in a thankless role), a well-respected doctor (are there any other kind?) at a local hospital. Walking their dog one night in Central Park, Erika and David let their guard down (assuming, of course, it was up). Several thugs appear seemingly out of nowhere and, after a heated exchange, brutally beat Erika and David. Erika barely survives. David doesn't. Erika emerges from a three-week coma traumatized and devastated, her perfect life gone and recovery seemingly impossible. The police's early efforts to find the thugs prove fruitless. Erika's attempts to follow up with the investigation lead nowhere.
Frustrated and still traumatized, Erika decides to buy a firearm, presumably for self-protection. When she discovers that New York has a 30-day waiting period before she can purchase a firearm, she buys a gun illegally. Before she's even going to a practice range, an opportunity to use the handgun arises in a convenience store shooting. Empowered by using the handgun (nope, no phallic symbols here), Erika begins to seek dangerous situations, first in a subway, then on a deserted street with a john, and on and on, until, finally, Death Wish- or Taxi Driver-style, she flings herself into a violent confrontation against the street thugs she's been looking for all along (actually, she hasn't been looking for them). A New York City detective, Mercer (Terence Howard), begins to suspect Erika's involvement in the vigilante shootings, but can't proceed until he uncovers enough evidence. But his deepening relationship with Erika's complicates matters.
That, briefly, is The Brave One, a sadly unoriginal revenge fantasy that alternates manipulative scenes of violence with scenes of Erika introspectively engaging in incredibly banal voiceover narration about life, liberty, and handguns. To call the voiceover narration awful is an understatement that doesn't quite capture how truly cringe-inducing it can be as the screenwriters try to insert profundity into otherwise banal observations about living in New York, mortality, and the empowering, if no less corrosive, effects of being both victim and perpetrator. As The Brave One wears on (and "wears" is the right word to use here), it also becomes more and more implausible with each coincidence. These often illogical or convenient coincidences ultimately reveal The Brave One for what it is: an exploitation flick masquerading as a serious drama about an important social problem. It's not.
Just as bad or even worse, though, is what The Brave One reveals about the producers' perspectives on race, gender, and class. While Americans of Indian descent fare best, The Brave One gives us a sensitive, respectable African-American detective to counterbalance one set of thugs who attempt to assault Erika on a subway, but gives no such balance to the depiction of Latino characters. The men who initially assault Erika and David are Latino in appearance and act remorselessly. Likewise with the shifty Chinese man who sells Erika the handgun and ammunition from a dark alley in Manhattan's Chinatown. Not surprisingly, women fare better in The Brave One, but not by much. Without a firearm, Erika is powerless (as one of the last scenes clearly indicates), but with a handgun, she can restore order and balance to crime-ridden New York (because after all, violent crime against the middle- or upper-classes is endemic in cities).
With a muddled, derivative storyline covering up a disturbing subtext, the only mystery here is what Jodie Foster and Neil Jordan were thinking when they decided to work on something well beneath their respective talents. Maybe it was the lure of working with each other that drew Foster and Jordon to The Brave One. Maybe one or both of them were suffering financial hardship and needed the sizable paycheck that comes with working on a film in Hollywood or maybe there was something in the screenplay that convinced them to make The Brave One together. Whatever the reason or reasons, the end result isn't going to add much to their curriculum vitas (in fact, quite the opposite).
"Meting out justice with cold steel is the quickest way to get a cheer out of your audience."
Read the full review by clicking below:
The Brave One stars Jodie Foster as a Radio Head speaker who gets attacked and nearly beaten to death by gang members. she wakes up 3 weeks later to find her fiance is dead, and having to start her life all over again, alone. although i can now see where director Neil Jordan was trying to portray to the audience with this film (which is to thinking when it comes to the subject of Vigilante, and whether it should be considered morally right or wrong). Jodie Foster gives an Oscar Calibrating performance in which in my opinion is one of the best roles that she has ever done. She and Terrence Howard have amazing onscreen chemistry together. Foster's Performance was the literal thing that kept this film together, along with co-star Terrence Howard's performance as well. as far as i can remember, her performance is up to this point the year's best performance, and i will just go ahead and say it, GIVE JODIE FOSTER HER 3RD OSCAR OR AT LEAST HER 5TH NOMINATION. in reality, what Foster commented on that women who hold grudge's don't go around killing other people. they go around killing their children, families, and eventually themselves. the beating up scene is really brutal so if you have a weak stomach and you go see this, close your eyes. i am sorry to be so continuous on praising Foster's performance, but it connected to me in a way that it made the film give off an emotional twist that made my stomach turn into knots. The ending is at least the best part, because it makes the film come full circle.
btw this review is based upon Jodie Foster's performance, which normally i don't review like this but basically her performance held this film together and made those nerves get twisted up. the overall movie itself i'd give a 7.5/10
The story is simple. Something bad happens, and the protagonist takes it upon herself to seek justice. Sure there are a few character complexities along the way, but we see most of it coming the whole time. Director Neil Jordan has directed three four-star films: The Crying Game, Mona Lisa, and The Butcher Boy. Yet here he is unable to give it his unique touch. The cinematography is brilliant, reminiscent of the under-appreciated Marc Forster film Stay, and both Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard give flawless performances.
Despite a few events that happen too conveniently, it's an involving thriller. Can't imagine anyone else playing Erica. Jodie Foster's been in several great thrillers, including some very good ones in the last few years (Panic Room, Flightplan, and now The Brave One). I think it's pretty outrageous that some critics are pointing out the film's "morals" as a negative. It's not the critic's job to evaluate whether a script is morally or politically correct - a critic simply has to assess how well the whole thing was crafted, regardless of whether he/she agrees with the screenwriter's viewpoint on whatever issue the film may tackle. Heck, if critics were to consider morals to be an important factor, then by all means they should trash Tarantino's movies (which they don't, and rightfully so).
The Brave One
Starring Jodie Foster, Terrence Howard, Mary Steenburgen, and Nicky Katt.
Directed by Neil Jordan. (Breakfast on Pluto, The Good Thief, The End of the Affair, and Michael Collins)
Rated R.
"The Brave One" will probably not be on my top 10 this year but I still will be buying the DVD probably just because I love Jodie! See this film because it is still worthy of a ticket price
The Brave One bravely delves into vigilantism with an excellent cast of Jodie Foster as Erica Banes, Terence Howard as Detective Mercer, Naveen Andrews as Erica's fiance David, Ene Oloja as Erica's neighbor, Mary Steenbergen as the radio station manager and Jane Adams as Erica's friend Nicole. Nicole is used effectively to show how, after the mugging that leaves David dead and Erica comatose for three weeks, Erica profoundly changes, leaving her old self and Nicole behind, not even hearing her voice anymore. The movie has its weaknesses. Jodie Foster's radio voice before the mugging should have been as playful and seductive as it was when she talks to David. In radio, the voice is everything, and her breathy voice detracted from the wonders of ever-changing New York she chronicled. And yes, like New York, she changed, too, and like New York and Nicole, there are many effective uses of foreshadowing and character development. Which makes the other two weaknesses curious. There should have been something more convincing to show how Erica concluded she needed, of all things, a gun to feel safe. That would have made her transformation into a vigilante without any reading into the movie. There also should have been something more convincing showing how Mercer gravitated towards the choices he made during the climax. That would have eliminated the feeling that a false turn had been made in an otherwise creative ending that freed Erica from her death wish. That should be the point of a vigilante movie, that the vigilante be freed from this unaccepatble bloodthirst for vengeance. That is the point of this movie.
I read several critics claim "plot holes!" I didn't see any. The three things I mentioned above were weaknesses, not plot holes. What claims of plot holes I've read on message boards point more towards the viewer not paying attention, and weren't real plot holes at all. These critics need to be specific; otherwise, I suspect they too were distracted during the movie.
I read several critics claim the violence overwhelmed the great performances by Foster and Howard. The violence was extremely graphic but should have been expected for a movie of this subject matter, and I felt the violence wove into the character study very well. As such, this movie is not for the squeamish, for children or for those offended by graphic violence. It is also not for those who cannot get into deep scenes like those between Howard and Foster. If you enjoy both, and enjoy them with great performances, good storytelling and great filming, then you will enjoy this film.
the brave one
Does it deliver what it promises?
More or less, yes.
Is it entertaining?
Actually, it is. It's very dark, but there are few down moments.
Is it worth the price?
Unless you absolutely want to see Jodie Foster kick some big-screen ass, waiting for the DVD would be just fine.
Directed by Neil Jordan
Stars Jodie Foster, Terrence Howard, Naveen Andrews, Mary Steenburgen
Jodie Foster is excellent in this vigilante thriller cum run-of-the mill police procedural about a radio host (Foster) who is brutally beaten and robbed and her fiance murdered. Changed and angry, she sets out to take revenge on people who commit heinous crimes.
Follows a pretty standard investigation formula, but is buoyed by Foster's performance and director Neil Jordan's morally ambiguous examination of the nature of revenge and vigilantism. No masterpiece and occasionally uneven, but it offers no easy answers and stays compulsively watchable.

*True Bypass Mod
*Volume Boost Mod
*Wah-Volume Pedal Mod
*Vocal Mod
*Midrange Mod
After having completed all of these mod and a few others I recommend doing them one at a time and testing in between mods so if you don't like something, you can easily reverse it.
Your gonna need some basic soldering tools...
-good soldering iron (mines a Weller WESD51D I got for christmas)
-wire cutter/stripper
-helping hand (a must!!)
also the to wire anything to the board itself you will need 24AWG wire
Step 1: Research
http://www.geofex.com/- click "FX Technology
-Technology of the..." in the upper left
These are some pictures I found useful...
Step 2: True Bypass
I chose to remove the input buffer because it seemed to be the most easily reversible and from what I read, sounds better.
1. Open up the case and remove the circuit board.
2. Desolder the components.
3. Desolder the switch.
4. Install the new switch. (i used a 3PDT switch. Check out ebay for good deals)
If you use a 3PDT switch you can also add an LED to you pedal but I didn't want to.
Check It Out
I have a problem:when I click on the link for the installation of a new switch,it says the instruction is no longer available,so please help me out!I would like to do this mod,tone sucking is driving me crazy!
Using switch diagram 5 as a reference tool.
Both PCB and Pot Blue to 7
PCB Purple to 8
PCB Green to 9 as well as a jumper to 1
Connect the transistor jumper to 2
and the resistor jumper to 3
Oh this is pretty cool. I actually like leaving my wah in a position at times but this it pretty cool. I'll buy one of these for the dimebag wah from hell. It would be great soloing.
Is that it? Open up the case and remove the circuit board. Take some pictures of the inside for me. I'll try to understand what you mean.
Sadly idt its gonna help you much. If I was you, I could try to sell yours and buy a DB-01 they seem really cool.

We just got back from our "Babymoon" vacation to Skaha (near Penticton, Canada). Honestly, it was a bit unimpressive. We were supposed to stay 10 days and ended up coming home after 5. We did some nice climbs and I found out I can still get up 5.12- (with rests, of course). I also managed to top-rope "onsight" a 5.11a. I suppose if you live in Vancouver, it's a really nice place to get out of the rain. It is beautiful there and they have lots of great wineries, fruit stands and an amazing Farmer's Market. However, the climbing just wasn't good enough for us to justify being away from home, especially considering our home crag is Smith Rock.
Speaking of, we got out a couple days ago to the "backside" of Smith. Having never been there, we didn't find the easiest approach over Asterix Pass. We ended up having to throw our packs down and down climb 5th class. Pretty exciting! Once we got to the Mesa Verde wall we enjoyed some classic 5.10s with amazing knob holds. I also managed to do all the moves on a 12a, Shadow of a Doubt. Not wanting to repeat our approach hike in reverse, we opted to hike out Misery Ridge. It was cool to see the Monkey Face in person, but that hot steep hike wasn't so much fun. Then you hike all the way back down to the creek and back up to the rim again! Lots of hiking that day. The next day Kyle says to me, "You lost weight yesterday, didn't you?" True enough. Guess that's what happens when you have a scale that sends your weight to his iPhone automatically. I can't get away with anything.

Pretty Little Liars
Marlene King: The Halloween Episode Sparks New Mysteries
The Pretty Little Liars Season 2 Halloween episode may be a prequel episode, but that doesn't mean it won't impact the rest of the series.
Showrunner Marlene King spoke to Hollywood Crush about the episode, and she explained that they chose to do a prequel because it would allow them to "invent more mythology" for the show, which allows them to "plant the seeds of new mysteries to come."
It will also connect to the Season 2 summer finale in the creepiest of ways: We'll be seeing more of those terrible dolls that "A" used to tell the girls what they had to do. We'll see "least [one] doll in the Halloween episode," and we will also "see more of those creepy dolls in season 2B."
In the world of Pretty Little Liars, everything is connected — even a Halloween party in the past.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 616,929, dated January 3, 1899.
Application filed September 30, 1897. Serial No. 653,606. (No model.) I
To all whom it may concern/.-
Be it known that I, JAMES A. JOANS, acitizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Screw-Ferrule, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in screw-ferrules in which the body or ferrule is cast-iron and the cap or top is brass, used in the practice of plumbing and other similar work where screw-ferrules are used, whose caps can be removed to clear a stoppage or for any other purpose requiring access to the inside of pipes or fittings to which they are attached. The usual method of doing this is to calk with oakum and lead the screw-fer- 1 rule in a hub or bell provided on the pipe or fitting,and in cases where the pipe has no hub or bell a fitting known to the trade as a double hub is used. Into one end the pipe is calked in, leavingahub or bell for the reception of the screw-ferrule in the usual manner.
The object of my invention is, first, to provide a screw-ferrule so constructed that it can be used on the spigot end or end Without hub or bell of a piece of pipe without using a double hub, and, second, to construct the same screw-ferrule so that it can be used in the hub of pipes and fittings. I attain this object by the construction shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section through one end of a pipe provided with my improved ferrule or cap; Fig. 2, a similar view showing a modified form of construction; Fig. 3, a plan or end view of the device as shown in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4. a perspective view of the improved ferrule or cap detached.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
The body or ferrule A is a cast-iron cylindrical-shaped casting reduced at one end, as shown, with an angular projection D all around the inside to answer as a seat or stop to prevent spigot end E or end without hub of a piece of pipe passing beyond this point, thus forming a hub or bell into which oakum O and lead M may be calked to secure A to E, for the purpose as specified and shown in Fig. 1. On the lower or outside edge of A is a bead or extra thickness of'metal N to so strengthen this part as to prevent damage to same by an extra blow or strain. At the upper or contracted end of Ais a circular opening F, whose sides are parallel to those of the body A. This opening is provided at its upper edge with 'a thread, as shown, to receive the brass cap or cover B, whose under surface has an annular threaded projection'L to engage with threads mentioned in the aforesaid opening F.
On the uppersurface of the cap or cover B is a square projection R for the reception of a wrench or key, for the purpose of unscrewing or screwing up the cap or top to make atight joint between the same and the body, the whole constituting a screw-ferrule for the purpose as described and substantially as set forth.
I am aware that prior to my invention screwferrules have been made of cast-iron with brass screw caps 01' covers. I therefore do not claim such a combination, broadly; but
IVhatI do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
An improved device of the class described,
for attachment to the end of a drain or other pipe, comprising a tubular ferrule having one end exteriorly contracted, which contracted portion forms an interior annular shoulder or seat, and a cap for closing said contracted end, whereby when said ferrule is mounted over the end of a pipe of less diameter the interior shoulder or seat formed by the contracted end will rest upon the end of the inclosed pipe and when the ferrule is mounted within the enlarged end of a pipe the end or edge of the ferrule opposite from its con tracted end will rest upon the interior shoulder of the pipe formed by its enlarged end, the ferrule being thus adapted for convertible use either over or in the ends of drain or other pipes, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

It's the Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival
One of the great kickoff events to the Autumn season is the Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival at the Washington County Fairgrounds in beautiful Greenwich. Honestly, we love this festival. It's kind of like the Three Bears…just right. And it's this weekend, October 5-6! Here's an opportunity to spend time with local fiber and yarn producers, […] [Read More]
Saturday Morning Spinning in an unusually quiet house
Good morning and Happy Saturday! I hope you're all doing well. Things here are a little different this weekend. We lost our oldest dog this week. Lili was 17 and in failing health, and it was clearly time for us to do what all pet owners dread having to do. She was already old when […] [Read More]
A yarn basket of New Year's resolutions
On New Year's Eve we make promises. It's a tradition. But keeping those promises doesn't always seem to be connected to the good intentions that foster them. On December 31, we vow we'll change behaviors, take better care of ourselves and others, skip that second cookie, not hog the bathroom every morning, walk softer on […] [Read More]
Making a list, checking it twice…
While rummaging through the yarn today I got to thinking. If someone, anyone, would give me something a knitter craves what would that be? First of all, it's assumed that I already have enough of everything in the way of yarn and other stuff. And, if you don't knit or crochet or spin then yarn […] [Read More]
Breaking up is hard to do: Stash Busting 101
Why, why do we hang on to yarn we'll never use, really don't like but think we should, and can't remember why we bought it in the first place? I'm no expert at getting rid of yarn but I'm open to learning. More on that in a minute. But something's got to go. I have […] [Read More]
She's ALIVE! and she's got trunk sale news
Remember me? The prodigal fiber artist (ok, that may be stretching it) returned from way off in the back pasture to the fold? It's the whole two-legged lost sheep thing. Read on… Aaron and I met up at the Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival and had a chinwag about this and that and I shared some […] [Read More]

In case you haven't been paying attention, the 2012 Summer Olympics are about to start. Vermonters are well known for their prowess in the winter games, but not so much for summer. Maybe it's because we refer to summer as "the three months with bad skiing."
All this is changing though. Bike culture is thriving in the Green Mountains and Vermont is proud to send a mountain biker, Lea Davison of Jericho, to London. You can check out Lea's Team USA Bio here.
Sugarbush actually played a part in Lea's story of how she found out that she had made the team.
"I finally couldn't take it anymore and extracted myself from the house to push refresh on my cell phone in a different location. I followed JoJo (Joanna Petterson) and Katie to Sugarbush to wait around while they practiced some downhill runs before their race this Sunday. Sabe (Lea's sister) rode her bike over to meet us.
Lea practicing on the 2012 Olympic mountain bike course.
Jojo and Katie made me wait the twenty minutes for them to take a downhill run to check, so I would at least be around someone when I found out the news. Those were some of the longest twenty minute segments of my entire life. The entire afternoon passed with no word and we drove over Appalachian Gap to head to a Little Bellas mentor gathering for burger night at a local farm.
The drive over App Gap has spotty service, so we couldn't check. Then, Zeke, a Middlebury Ski Team friend who we haven't talked to in six years sent Sabe a text saying, 'Congraaats!'. I was driving, and Sabe and JoJo started frantically loading pages on their phones. Then, Jojo gasped, smiled, and said, 'Pull the car over.'
In that moment, I knew I had made it. I was wearing a bikini (because we were possibly going to a swimming hole) and I pulled over on the side of the road. This is where the Olympic celebration started. I never pictured myself celebrating my Olympic berth on the side of the road in a bikini (slightly awkward)."
Lea celebrating on the App Gap. How's that for a local hero?
We wish Lea good luck and great riding. Bring home some hardware!

Blueberry Lake trailwork has started. Please support the efforts!
Blueberry Lake is a sweet spot on a nice day.
We got some much needed rain this week, and everything is lush again. The nights have been so comfortable, truly "good sleeping weather." To top it off, the weekend forecast looks pretty solid. Summer's peaking and what better place to watch a Vermonter race for the gold?
We hope to see you soon!

Takt is the German word for 'clock', 'bar' or 'beat' (of music), a conductor's 'baton', or 'metronome'.
Takt time is the average customer demand time for an article. This takes into account the average productive, working time of the manufacturing process. It is measured in "seconds per unit".
There are costs and inefficiencies in producing ahead of demand, including:
There are costs and inefficiencies in falling behind demand, including:
Two quantities are required:
T = W / D in seconds = Takt time.
There are "devils in the details", however.
The 'day' must be defined in terms of production, not consumption or demand.
Take the example of packaged food. Let us say that the daily demand is based on a 7-day week, but the processing plant only works 5 days per week. In this case, the daily demand should be one-fifth of the weekly demand (not one-seventh, as the customers would describe it).
In the other direction: Let us say you manufacture specialty paper coffee cups for a shop serving office workers only from Monday to Friday. The coffee shop describes its daily demand based on a 5-day week. If your factory runs on a 24X7 basis, then your calculation says the daily demand on the factory is only 5/7 as much as the coffee shop describes it.
Another example: If the production process runs, for example, 2 daily shifts from Monday through Friday and one shift on Saturday, then the average daily number of shifts is (2 X 5 plus 1)/5 = 2.2 shifts/day over a "5-day" week.
The available working time is calculated as:
The above calculation expresses the seconds required across all production areas (such as assembly lines).
Some sources say "do not subtract unscheduled down time".
Our approach is to subtract the average unscheduled down time as it becomes known. This calculates a somewhat shorter time. This is a better predictor of the viable production schedule under the current circumstances. However, if there are no unscheduled work stoppages, then some over-production would occur; this is undesirable.
On the other hand, this approach avoids the need for remediation, such as overtime, unless the down time is even greater than average.
Perhaps the best argument for excluding unscheduled down time from the calculation is:
In a sense, this choice – to include or omit unscheduled down time – depends on whether the organization will attempt and succeed in correcting every problem that causes unscheduled down time.
However, an organization that includes unscheduled down time, but also corrects the underlying problems, will find that this unscheduled down time becomes less. If so, and if the reduced down time is factored into the calculation, then the Takt time will increase.
As stated, our approach is to include average unscheduled down time as it becomes known. This leads to the most accurate calculation given the current circumstances. This helps to set the most viable production schedule.
