Pole Barn Plans Software| By | Category: Articles
A Pole Barn is one of the easiest to build and most cost efficient building construction methods in the World.
A well thought out an planned pole barn is a great "multipurpose" agricultural building.
The Pole Barn construction method is extremely popular for Rural and Agricultural Storage Buildings and it is even used a mainstream construction method in many developing countries – This is because Pole Barns are extremely easy to build, they can be built on the most modest of budgets, and provide a good defense from wind and other environmental elements.
So what exactly is a "Pole Barn"
More generally "Pole Construction Method" is building with poles that are embedded into the ground and used to support the walls, roof and floor framing ( if there is any floor installed ) often pole barns have a simple gravel or dirt floor, but you can add a concrete floor either prior to or even after construction of the main building.
Traditional pole barn construction techniques combined with modern construction materials, have resulted in structures that can take a lot more punishment and are far more durable than their predecessors. Infact although still quire rare in countries like the United States some people have even used pole barns as homes.
The Pole Barn "Industry" has really taken off in recent years and there are many Companies producing Pole Barn Plans and even ready made Pole Barn Kits. Many companies that build pole barns professionally have also provided web-based resources (like color visualizers and layout planners) as a service to DIYers and potential customers trying to see what a building may look like before it is constructed.
There are many sites on the Internet that sell plans for Pole Barn here are some examples.

|Mi biografía
My first bird was at the age of 12. A little parakeet I named Charlie. Charlie lived in my bedroom. I always let Charlie out of his cage after school, much to the chagrin of my mother. Charlie pooped a lot on my curtains. I adored that bird.
Thirty-eight years later, married and living in the perfect home, I now have 9 parrots. Every one is free to fly the house, investigate each other's cages and generally just be who they are when they are ready to be.
I began writing Felix stories for a little humor and to help others understand what it's REALLY like to live with, care for, and handle an intelligent creature such as a parrot. Felix, being Felix, was the perfect choice out of our Flock. He thinks too much. He is slow to believe a word I say or a deed I do on his behalf, and his contrast with every bird in our home shows just how crazy they are, and how sane he is.
Felix is a Rescue bird. He chose us, and now I choose to share him with you.
|Alerta del narrador ansioso: creo que mi próximo libro será sobre...
Felix and his continued world view. The Tao of Felix will continue the train of thoughts of Felix, and will include his flock members Butters, Snickers, Kirby, and his Cockatiel Horde.
Felix and I are working on Felix's Cookbook. A book full of parrot preferred recipes and building instructions that will provide the best in nutrition and foraging fun for every birdy large or small.

Indian Captives
By Frederick Webb Hodge in 1906
The treatment accorded captives was governed by ethical
concepts which went hand in hand with clan, gentile, and other
blood-related organizations of Indian
society. From the
members of his own group, or what was considered such, certain
ethical duties were exacted of an Indian
which could not be
neglected without destroying the fabric of society or
outlawing the transgressor.
Toward other clans or bands of the same tribe, actions were
also governed by well recognized customs and usages which had
developed over hundreds of years, but with remote bands or tribes,
good relations were assured only by some formal peace-making
ceremony. A peace of this kind was very tenuous; however,
especially where there had been a long-standing feud, and
might be broken in an instant.
Indian captives.
Toward a person
belonging to a tribe with which there was neither war nor
peace, the attitude was governed largely by the interest of
the moment. In such cases, the virtues of the clan or gentile
organizations as peace-making factors made themselves evident,
for if the stranger belonged to a clan represented in the
tribe he was among, the members of that clan usually greeted
him as a brother and extended their protection over him.
Another defense for the stranger was, what with civilized
people is one of the best guaranties against war, the fear of
disturbing or deflecting trade. If he brought among them
certain much desired commodities, the first impulse might be
to take these from him by force and seize or destroy his
person, but, it would quickly be seen by wiser heads that the
source of further supplies of this kind might thereby be
imperiled, if not entirely cut off. If nothing were to be had
from the stranger, he might be entirely ignored. And finally,
the existence of a higher ethical feeling toward strangers,
even when there was apparently no self-interest to be served
in extending hospitality, is often in evidence. There numerous
stories of great misfortune overtaking one who refused
hospitality to a person in distress, and of great good fortune
accruing to him who offered assistance.
At the same time, the
attitude assumed toward a person thrown among
too far from his own people to be protected by any ulterior
hopes or fears on the part of his captors, was usually that of
master to slave. This was particularly the case on the North
Pacific Coast, where slavery was an institution. Thus, John
Jewitt, at the beginning of the 19th century, was preserved as
a slave by the
Chief Maquinna, because he was an ironworker and would be
valuable property. Most of the other whites who fell into the
hands of
on this coast were treated in a similar manner.
The majority of
captives; however, were those taken in war. These were
considered to have forfeited their lives and to have been
actually dead as to their previous existence. It was often
thought that the captive's supernatural helper had been
destroyed or made to submit to that of the captor, though
where not put to death with torture to satisfy the victor's
desire for revenge and to give the captive an opportunity to
show his fortitude, he might in a way be reborn by undergoing
a form of adoption.

MSR minimum system requirements
i think it sounds cool.
"hey, what's that new game's MSR"
anyway, does anybody know the msr for leopard cause i would like to know how much i'm going to miss out on with only a g4 PowerPC chip. i'm sure it will install but, how many of those wonderful new features will i not be able to use?
what is the speed of the chip, what kind of computer is it.
For example a powerbok g4 1.67ghz maxed out will be fine, where as a g4 500mhz with a bottom line graphics card and 128mb of ram, might not work.
And nobody will with 100% certainty until it is released.
Looks like all you can do is wait until at least Spring 2007 to find out.
i have a 1ghz chip with 256 ram soon to be upgraded iMac

Bobcat to bring dark comedy to PerrysburgWritten by Vicki L. Kroll | | email@example.com
One of the trailers for "World's Greatest Dad," a new movie written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, begins with a student reading aloud her graphic poem about childbirth.
"Thank you. That was — very personal," says Lance Clayton, the nonpublished writer turned teacher played by Robin Williams. "Anybody else have their haiku?"
"I'm really happy that people have been enjoying [the trailer] because I think we did capture the tone," Goldthwait said. "The movie is kind of dark and twisted, but we're not trying to pull a fast one; it's not 'Marley & Me.'"
The R-rated film premiered at the Sundance Festival in January and is scheduled for release this fall.
"I've always been drawn to that uncomfortable — you know, when I'd watch Andy Kaufman and I didn't know if it was real or fake, even when I watch the Woody Allen movies from the '80s and '70s, he was always really big on these awkward, awkward moments, and for some reason that always made me laugh," Goldthwait said during a phone interview from Los Angeles.
The comedian connected with disturbing humor at a young age.
"My earliest memories of watching movies were watching the film version of 'Arsenic and Old Lace,' you know, and being a little boy and having to ask my mom what was really going on, and I got so excited when I found out the old ladies were killing people," he said.
Fans can expect Goldthwait's dark humor when he comes to Fat Fish Blue, 6140 Levis Commons Blvd. in Perrysburg. He will perform shows at 8 and 10:30 p.m. July 31 and at 7 and 10 p.m. Aug. 1. Tickets are $20.
"I usually talk about things until it's OK to talk about them and then I drop them from my act. Like I'll be talking about Michael Jackson until a year from now when other comedians feel it's safe," he said.
Combining wincing and laughing has been effective for the 47-year-old. "Sleeping Dogs Lie," another film he wrote and directed, was screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006.
"I think if [Sundance] had happened to me when I was a younger man, I wouldn't understand what it meant. To me, it's an even bigger deal. I've said this before and I think it's true: If you work at Sundance and you receive a DVD of a movie and it says written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, I come with a lot of baggage, you know what I mean? I can't imagine them going, 'Yeah, we should book him right into the programming pile,'" the comic said.
"The thing that was really exciting at Sundance is both times I had movies there, people seemed to laugh and enjoy them and clap and like the movie, but it was exciting for me to go out in the lobby and overhearing people having discussions," Goldthwait said. "I like that these movies seem to raise ethical questions with people."

Did the Cubs throw the 1918 World Series
Apr 20, 2011, 4:33 PM EDT
This isn't exactly new — there was a book written about it a couple of years ago — but the Associated Press is circulating the story in light of some of the relevant documents becoming public, so why not: Did the Cubs throw the 1918 World Series to the Red Sox, inspiring the White Sox to do the same the next year?
The central piece of evidence is a deposition given by Eddie Cicotte in 1920 in which he suggested that the White Sox got the idea to throw the 1919 World Series from the Cubs. It's all very vague — Cicotte really just talks about how others on the White Sox talked about how some Cubs players were offered money to do it — but it's an interesting glimpse all the same. If the subject interests you, I'd suggest the book linked above, as a couple of readers emailed me within the past hour telling me that it's pretty decent. The book's author is quoted in the AP report.
And if the Cubs did throw the series? Given that the Black Sox did it again the next year and set in motion the new rules of baseball that cracked down on gambling, the Cubs' legacy of baseball grifting is more a point of ancient history than anything of lasting significance. After all, people don't talk about 1919 being awful because of how the Cincinnati Reds' title was sullied. It's all about the integrity of the game and the changes it brought about. In that respect, it was a travesty for a year, even if it was unknown, but then superseded in significance by the acts of their southside counterparts.
Although, man, if this was discovered before the Red Sox won it all in 2004, it's possible that Yankees fans would have taken to chanting "1916!" instead of "1918!" to taunt the Bosox. Assuming 1916 wasn't fixed too.
- qcubed3 - Apr 20, 2011 at 5:19 PM
If this were true, it WOULD be a big deal for we White Sox fans. It would not matter that the cubs "grifting" was ancient history, it would matter that it happened at all and it would matter more in the case of cubs fans' claim of moral superiority when they state that they never threw a World Series (this claim is the standard retort to the "you haven't won a World Series in 100 + x years!").
- mentalotherhalf - Apr 20, 2011 at 5:28 PM
On the other hand, now I have the satisfaction of chanting 19-18 again.
It leaves a lot to interpretation, but pretty much all possible inferences would be satisfyingly Sox-baiting.
The one I hope they take away: the Sox are so fundamentally flawed, even the Cubs had to throw the series in order for them to win it.
- mentalotherhalf - Apr 20, 2011 at 5:37 PM
Thumbs down? What? Too soon?
If it was from a Sox fan: just make fun of my username as retaliation.
If it was from a Cubs fan: granted; low blows is low blows.
- mentalotherhalf - Apr 20, 2011 at 5:55 PM
Okay: I admit it; I threw the above posts.
I wasn't even paid to do it.
I'm just that dastardly.
- denverhoopdreams - Apr 20, 2011 at 7:16 PM
- bigharold - Apr 20, 2011 at 5:32 PM
So we're still talking about the Black Sox scandal and now whether or not the Cubs threw the series the year before, .. events that occurred 90+ years ago.
Somebody explain to me again that Pete Rose betting on baseball wasn't worse than the PED era.
- SmackSaw - Apr 20, 2011 at 6:51 PM
Cheating is a baseball tradition. Nice guys finish last.
- spudchukar - Apr 20, 2011 at 6:54 PM
Yes, we do.
- frankvzappa - Apr 20, 2011 at 7:31 PM
the only difference between yesterday and today, is that yesterday everybody knew it was fixed while today everybody thinks its on the up and up…like with lone assassin conspiracy theories, in the old days everybody knew there was conspiracies, but these days people actually believe that Oswald shot JFK, or that Hinckley shot Reagan, etc…
- mikef2691 - Apr 20, 2011 at 7:51 PM
If you aren't cheating, you are not trying….. or is that NASCAR?
- thebigwhitecat - Apr 20, 2011 at 10:57 PM
Haven't Cubs fans suffered enough?
The AP writer cites Eddie Cicotte as a source. Cicotte had an axe to grind with White Sox owner Charlie Comiskey regarding his 1919 bonus and by all accounts he (Cicotte) was a bitter man.
The story is pretty weak.
- mdpickles - Apr 21, 2011 at 10:11 AM
So what I am to understand here is that:
the 1918, 2004, and 2007 WS Champs are unearned. About as fake as holding the WWF Intercontinental Championship belt.

Garry Birtles: Positive thinking can pay off for Nottingham Forest in promotion push
Posted: March 28, 2013|
WHEN England's cricketers knew victory was beyond them in New Zealand this week, it would have been easy for them to change their frame of mind.
They could have stopped playing shots; adopted a defensive approach.
But they didn't. Matt Prior kept playing his shots. He continued to do what he knows how to do best.
And it paid off. They managed to hold on for a draw.
Hardly a glorious moment in English sporting history, I know. But it took guts and determination.
And it did register with me.
Because, between now and the end of the football season, Nottingham Forest must continue to do what they do best.
When it gets to crunch time; when you reach the point in the season where every result, every point and every goal could have massive consequences, it is easy to change your attitude.
When the pressure is on, it is easy to take a step backwards. To subconsciously start trying to avoid defeat, rather than secure victory.
Forest's greatest strengths under Billy Davies have been their work rate, their desire and their hunger to put the opposition under pressure deep inside their own half.
They are positive, they are ambitious and they get into the other teams' faces.
Davies has Forest pushing high up the pitch; he has them playing aggressively.
And it has got them results.
Six wins on the bounce have Forest playing with confidence – and on the brink of equalling a historic record that has stood since 1921.
If they can register another win, when Brighton visit on Saturday, trust me, the rest of the Championship will sit up and take notice.
More specifically, they will start to view Forest with genuine fear.
Even the teams around them in the promotion race will be scared of the momentum Forest are building.
And Forest must embrace that. In fact, they must do everything in their power to amplify it.
When opposition sides look at Forest, they will see a team with momentum and confidence.
But they will also see a squad that is packed with experience; chock full of men who have won promotion from this division before and many who have tested themselves at the highest level.
They are the players that Forest need to stand tall, to play the part of Prior and just do what they do best when the pressure is on.
When I was at Notts County under John Barnwell, we were in the top two for much of the season.
But, as the final few matches approached, as the finishing line loomed on the horizon, something changed.
We started to think about where we were, about what was at stake.
And perhaps we did take that step backwards. We stopped doing what we had been doing – and the results stopped as well.
We went from being full of confidence and belief, to being full of doubt.
We had experienced players who had been there and done it. Myself and Gary Mills had won in Europe and people like Ian McParland, Geoff Pike and Mick Leonard had been there and done it in the game as well.
But we ended up losing in the play-offs. Our season stuttered to a halt.
If Forest can keep doing what they have been doing in these last six or seven games, anything is possible.
You only need to look at the squad to see that.
Two years ago, when Forest were in the play-offs, they lacked genuine strength in depth in many areas. In some positions, they actually had gaping holes – notably at left back.
Now I look at the players who are regularly substitutes or who can't get in the squad at all sometimes and I see genuine quality – players who would walk into many other sides at this level.
Daniel Ayala, Greg Halford, Sam Hutchinson, Dan Harding, Lewis McGugan, Jonathan Greening, Guy Moussi, Simon Gillett, Billy Sharp, Dexter Blackstock, Marcus Tudgay – there is a pretty good team among those players on their own, with the exception of a keeper.
All are players who have found themselves on the bench or on the sidelines at one stage or another, during the unbeaten run.
Henri Lansbury may be carrying a slight knock, he may not be fit for this weekend.
But Forest have McGugan, Greening or Moussi who could immediately slot into his shoes.
Or they could push Cohen into midfield and play Harding at left back.
Gonzalo Jara may be fatigued following his international duty with Chile – but Hutchinson or Halford are ready to slot in.
Davies has options – and good ones – in every position. Forest are well equipped.
If they beat Brighton on Saturday, if they record a seventh straight win, they could find themselves closer to the automatic promotion race.
But forget all about that. Forest need five wins or so to get into the play-offs, that is the important target.
The best way of getting those, however, is by not thinking about such things.
Don't worry about automatic promotion, about play-offs or what might be needed.
Just focus on what has taken you this far, focus on what has made you strong, as a team. And keep doing the same, in every minute of the remaining eight games.
If they can do that, then, like England, they might just grind out the result that they want.

Ottoman Empire Lesson Plan
Grade Levels: 6-8, 9-12
In this lesson plan which is adaptable for grades 6-12, students will use BrainPOP resources to learn about the Ottoman Empire.
Students will:
- Identify and explain key information about the Ottoman Empire.
- Analyze a primary source document from the Ottoman Empire.
- Computers with internet access for BrainPOP
Preparation:Preview the movie and recommended lesson materials below. Make a class set of photocopies for any resources you choose to incorporate.
Lesson Procedure:
- Pass out the Graphic Organizer and have students read over it with a partner.
- Explain that you will play the the Ottoman Empire Movie for the class, and students should listen specifically for the information that is outlined in the graphic organizer.
- After the movie, allow students to work with their partners to complete the cause and effect information on the graphic organizer. You may want to play the movie through a second time (perhaps with closed captioning) to support students in recording their thoughts.
- Explain to students that official documents of the Ottoman court were hand-painted with calligraphy seals called tughras. Display the Tughra of Suleiman the Magnificent (which you can access by clicking on the image at the top of the Primary Source Activity.)
- Discuss the tughra with students. You may want to choose a few of the Primary Source Activity questions, or have students complete the activity on their own or cooperatively.
- Pass out a class set of copies of the Trading Card Activity. Have each student create a trading card.
- Challenge students to work in groups to create a learning game using the trading cards. You may want to pass out additional blank copies for students to make additional cards. What is the objective of the game? How are points earned? How does the game help players understand important information about the Ottoman Empire?
- You may want to further assess student learning using the Review Quiz and have students take it as a class, in teams, or in partners.

Things Part II
Part II of Things this week welcomes Jim O'Raw with his CYMK skill-z, Michael Whelan and a Monograph edition of the great Ad-sites project. Plus Jess Wilson sends us a new screen print, things get concealed and revealed and sometimes concealed again by Jonathon Place and Will Harvey. Finally the weather in Holland unites nations through the medium of pie chart by (wish my second name was) CLEVER°FRANKE.
Conceal / Reveal Jonathon Place and Will Harvey
At first I thought "damn" 'cause JP and WH (the men above) have mixed their "damn" photos up and then I realised that it was a great zine and their work compliments each other really well and the colours are great and I should just chill out. And I like the cover.
Monograph: Ad-sites Michael Whelan
This is a funny, well conceived project and, as a Monocle Monograph, literally sealed with the quality stamp. The utopian boardings Whelan photographed, we all walk past (and wonder at their lack of context – really? A waterfall?) and they shield us from dirty construction, hinting "at an elevated social existence" if only you could live there. Most pleasing are the nice juxtopostitions and continued general abstraction (waterfall???).
Promo poster Jim O'Raw
99% sure this promo that Jim has kindly sent us is a screen print which makes it an incredible feat of registration to say the least. The text adopted for his name is nothing less then Fresh Prince territory and overall, he seems like a nice and polite guy with a fondness for colour saturation and strong geometrics.
Clinky Clanky Jess Wilson
Great new work (on nice paper) from the girl that brought you the illustrated lyrics of Titantic on A3. Made for the worthy lot at Jealous Gallery and continuing the hand drawn, type heavy illustrative idiosyncrasies she's adopted with aplomb!
Weather Chart CLEVER°FRANKE
This is truly great – leaping over cultural and language barriers, waving at any political grudges and/or football results as they disappear into the distant forgotten – the Dutch also love to complain about whether it's sunny, rainy or windy. That is according to the nice cover note Thomas Clever and Gert Franke included with this infographtastic weather chart, thoughtfully designed and aesthetically ace.

3.0 out of 5 stars DVD has no benefit over VHS
My wife and I saw Dumbo in the cinema as children, and it was one of our favorites. So, of course, we got the VHS for our daughter, who also worships Dumbo. Naturally, I grabbed the 60th anniversary DVD when it suddenly appeared at the local price club.
The jacket promises a preview of Dumbo II. There is no preview on the DVD we received. We are bitterly...

This review is from: Dumbo (70th Anniversary Edition) (Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Sous-titres fran�ais) (Blu-ray)
Before discussing the video, we should bring back a little history about under what conditions Dumbo was made. Dumbo was the fourth feature film by Disney: 1) Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940). After excessive spending on Fantasia, and despite the popularity and critical acclaim heaped upon Snow White, Pinocchio and Fantasia, these films were not moneymakers and Disney studio was almost bankrupt. Additionally, due to the war in Europe, they were cutoff from the overseas market. So, what Disney needed was an inexpensive box office success, and Dumbo was to be it. It would be a relatively short film with a concise story and low production costs that would appeal to a wide audience.
At first glance, and in the context of Disney's own efforts up to then, Dumbo appears less artistic, more cartoony than the three earlier films. In the case of Dumbo, this art has been pared down to the absolute minimum, consistent with pleasing audiences and making money. And Dumbo did make a profit, and is credited for having saved the studio.
This 70th Anniversary Edition film comes in AVC/MPEG-4 1080p 1.37:1. Although this film was made with a lower budget compared to Fantasia or Pinocchio, and the restoration was not as detailed as Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty, the final result is still a very pleasing and amazing picture. Colours are solid and vibrant at times. The transfer is so clear and sharp that strokes from a paintbrush are often noticeable, as well as slight aging of the print and faint blemishes. Dumbo here showcases deep blacks up through clean whites. (4.5/5)
Dumbo's soundtrack has been fully restored and given a brand new lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 mix that is spacious and dynamic. However, the purists would have preferred that the original Mono and a new Mono lossless track be included.
The film won an Oscar for Best Musical Score and a nomination for the song "Baby Mine". And look at how Disney dramatizes the song in a series of mother and child tableaux, alternating sentiment with deft humour. At least the song had the good taste to lose to the Meryl Steep of composers: Jerome Kern, for "The Last Time I Saw Paris." (4/5)
Dumbo is such a good film, that you can completely understand it without audio, solely based upon its plotting and the characters' expressions. That said, note that neither Dumbo nor his mother talk. Their actions certainly do speak louder than words.
The film is pure emotion; a sweet tale of keeping up one's spirits even in the worst of times. Dumbo is a distillation of everything Disney animators had learned to that point. Animation, remember, is not the art of painting, but bringing drawings to life - to animate the inanimate. It isn't animals that they are breathing life into, it is drawings of animals, or people, or tress, or anything they choose. Its precision in storytelling (film was only 64 minutes long) is groundbreaking for an animated feature.
Dumbo is a sweet and short film about an outsider utilizing his scorned assets to his advantage. Compared to its 60th Anniversary DVD edition, both the video and audio are vastly improved. It is a timeless classic that the whole family will enjoy...again and again. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Dumbo (70th Anniversary Edition) (Sous-titres fran�ais) (DVD)
I love these movies and feel so happy to get them on DVD. They are more permanently accessible in my DVD library. But I may be the wrong person to answer your question because I am elderly and cannot speak for the millions/ billions younger than I.
What I can say is that it is wonderful to find AMAZON.CA as a rich resource for obtaining thee early Disney masterpieces despite the marketing ploys of "Mr. Disney's" contemporary reps who insist on holding back redistribution/ release of these works.
There seems to be a loss of artistic integrity in our present world.
I look forward to purchasing more of these masterpieces from the past - but, as I've mentioned, I may not belong to the appropriate feedback audience.
I congratulate you on your "humane" decision to keep these wonderful works alive and available to the public. And they seem to be in pristine condition despite one glitch I had with the magnificent Fantasia/ Fantasia 2000 which, as I understand from feedback from many friends, is a movie so many peoples from all ages love. As a musician I consider it to be a magnificent wonder, combining so professionally and perfectly narrative, music, and art work.
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful in every way,

This review is from: Dumbo (Big Top Edition) (DVD)
For some reason, I never saw most of the Disney classic movies when I was growing up - but I'm certainly having a good time watching them all these years later. Dumbo, of course, may be the most beloved Disney film of them all - despite the fact that it is relatively short (64 minutes), sports a pretty simplistic style of animation, and features a main character that never speaks a single word. The film's popularity is due in large part to the story itself, as there is a little bit of Dumbo in all of us. At some time, we've all been embarrassed by our appearance, laughed at and snubbed by those around us, and been made to feel like a complete loser.
Everyone knows the story already. Poor little Dumbo, with his big ears, is ridiculed and called a freak by the other elephants, harassed by kids going in to see the circus, separated from his mother, and eventually made into a clown, the very embodiment of his unhappy life. Only little Timothy Mouse befriends him, and his spirit of optimism and commitment to help Dumbo prove himself are needed more than ever when things go from bad to worse. In the end, the very thing that makes Dumbo different turns out to be the source of his greatest strength. The message of the film is pretty simple: believe in yourself, even when others put you down and, for heaven's sake, don't make fun of someone just because he looks different. Dumbo is also a story about love, particularly the love between a mother and child, and the importance of friendship.
Classic Disney films such as this are both wonderful and remarkable - yet so many of them are also sad. I imagine that children, while they will certainly understand the themes of this story, don't connect to the film on the same emotional level as I do as an adult. I really got emotional watching this - right from the start, with the sadness exuded by Mrs. Jumbo as she watches children being delivered to seemingly every one but her. It's tough watching Dumbo suffer ridicule and embarrass himself further by tripping over his big ears, suffer a cruel separation from his mother, and mope around with those tears spilling out of his big blue eyes, but I made it through all of that OK. Then came the scene where he visits his mother in her solitary confinement. If Leonard Maltin can admit that this film makes him cry every time he watches it, so can I. I don't know how anyone can get through that visitation scene without shedding at least one tear.
I said the animation was relatively simplistic, but that does not mean it isn't spellbinding, nor does it mean you won't encounter any scenes that are rather stunning in detail. Some of the professionals interviewed in a 15-minute featurette included on the DVD do a great job of pointing out the most remarkable scenes (and everyone has something to say about the Pink Elephant sequence, which is just bizarre and certainly memorable). Other special features include an audio commentary by film historian John Canemaker, a short, one-minute introduction to the film by Walt Disney himself, a photo gallery of conception art and storyboards, a video of the song "Baby Mine" performed by Jim Brickman with Kassie DePalva, and two short cartoons, Elmer Elephant and The Flying Mouse. Additional bonus materials aimed more specifically at young viewers are Sing Along Songs for Look Out for Mr. Stork and Casey Junior, a DVD storybook which children can read along with, and a "My First Circus" game that teaches children about the different kinds of animals normally found in a circus.
In a perfect world, Disney would just send a free copy of Dumbo to every set of parents in the country. Since that isn't economically feasible, I hope that as many parents as possible do make Dumbo a part of their children's young lives. This classic animated film is everything you would expect from Walt Disney - and more.
4.0 out of 5 stars Third Disney Favorite!,
Debi Crabtree "robertcrabtree3000" (Chattanooga, TN United States) - See all my reviews
I watched this all the time as a young'n and hadn't seen it again years, but I decided to pick it up after downloading the "Baby Mine" song. Its got some of the finest animated sequences anyone can offer: The faceless roustabouts setting up the "Big Top," the parade of the ghostly, pink elephants, the loud-mouthed crows.
You can NEVER write a proper review about Dumbo without mentioning the powerful "Baby Mine" scene. It made me cry the first 2 of 3 times I watched it! A heart-breaking scene like that fits the sugar-coated ending perfectly!
As the story goes: baby-delivering storks are making a couple of deliveries to a zoo. Everyone gets a baby of their own (the bears, tigers, hippos, everybody), all except an awaiting, would-be mother elephant called Mrs. Jumbo. Soon, Jumbo and the rest of the criiters are loaded aboard the circus train, Casey Junior, and Jumbo still hasn't recieved an infant of her own! But a late delivery soon arrives for Jumbo. All the other lady elephants are very desperate to see Jumbo's child, when they do, they think he's the cutest creature on earth, until he sneezes! The sneeze reveals the baby pachederm to have abnormaly large ears! They begin constantly taunting and teasing the lil guy about his physical problem, they even nick-name him "Dumbo" because they think his ears make him look so.....dumb. But Mrs. Jumbo loves Dumbo reguardless of the size of his ears. The trouble starts when the circus opens a bunch of kids enter the Big Top to see all the animals. A ugly boy taunts Dumbo about his ears even worse than the "normal" elephants did, this makes Mrs. Jumbo mad as he11! She loses her self control and attacks the children (you go Jumbo)! The ringmaster is enraged by Mrs. Jumbo's actions and sentences her to "solitary confinement," leaving little Dumbo all alone (for only a little while). Dumbo is eventually befriended by a rodent known as Timothy Q. Mouse, who believes that Dumbo can be as big a success as the other elephants. As Timothy and Dumbo pursue the road to fame, comedy, tragedy, and even macabre ensues as Dumbo meets up with a bunch of (...) clowns, ghostly pink elephants, and flock of loud-mouthed crows.
Dumbo is an often overlooked gem that EVERYONE should see! It is so simple, it is classic!
5.0 out of 5 stars best ever cartoon animated movie,
By A Customer
There is so much debate to what is the best ever cartoon animated movie and you'll get answers such as "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", and "The Lion King". But this movie is above and beyond better than them and all the other cartoon animted movies. I wouldn't call it the best G Rated ever because of the likes of live-action G Rated movies such as Babe and Gordy and computer animated G Rated movies such as Toy Story but before all those, there was Dumbo. All those movies have heart-warmth and Dumbo is a big reason why because it's a pioneer for those movies. It's the first G Rated ever made that warmed people's hearts because of a young circus elephant that wanted to find his mom because she was taken away from him. The best part in the movie is when he goes to visit his mom and she's rocking him in her trunk. That part really touched my heart. The other character I like is the mouse. He's very funny and the fact he befriends this very sad elephant is classic friendship. Sure this movie might be out-dated now but to us fans, it will forever be a classic!
5.0 out of 5 stars Disney's 4th Animated Masterpiece!,
FredeRicko (Oregon) - See all my reviews
After the financial failures of both Pinocchio and Fantasia, Dumbo was a smash success, the film told the sweet and simple story of a little baby elephant who had a small, but big problem, his ears were so big that everyone teased him and made fun of him, his beloved mother was locked up after trying to defend him from a bunch of mean kids and Dumbo is alone facing a world of injustice, luckily for him, a small mouse friend named Timothy will help him find that his great ears can be used to fly. This is one of Disney's sweetest tales, although it is many times unfairly described as racist, and now it's time for me to say what I feel about his racism. We see a scene where all these black men are working on setting up the circus, all of them black, well that is no reason to say that the film is racist since "racism" is the belief that one race is better than another or it also means being descriminated due to someone's skin color, well that isn't happening in this scene, it is just describing how things were back in the days, these men are not being descriminated. So back to the film, it is great and one of Disney's shortest since it does not even reach the 70 minutes.
The DVD is exactly what a Disney standard should be, it brings many different bonus features and one or two classic cartoons, a DVD that all Disney fans should own.

E K Maxmias "Frighteningly Real" (Close enough to Detroit!) - See all my reviews
If you've read some of the reviews bellow, you'll notice alot of defending of this film going on. Yea, a member of the PC police wrote a review saying they'd ban there kid from watching this crule, insensative, irresponsible cartoon. Here's a list of why this film is a great opportunity to entertain AND educate your kids;
-You can use this film to discuss how cruel teasing can affect others. The teasers are THE BAD GUYS!!
-Point out how hurtful bahaving in an exclusive manner can be.
-Discuss how "Dumbo" perseveres dispite the opinions of others.
-IF they ask, point out how bad things CAN happen when you use drugs or alchohol.
-Talk about how cultural sensativities have changed since the 1940s. (The crows stereotyped as "blacks" is actually pretty shameful. I don't point this out because my kids don't get it.)
-extremely pure and simple story. Kids love this film.
-"Casey Junior" song stick in your brain. My 20 month old is enthralled by the train.
-"Elephants on Parade" is a real "Trip". It is more remarkable when you consider the lack of computer technology at the time.
-The faceless "roust-abouts" are a little creepy, but my kids survived.
-The ending is as sugar-coated as you would ever want, which is why people love this film.
-Totally re-mastered. Flawless.
-2 shorts related to flying and elephants are ok.
-Black and White Sound stage clip from "The Ruluctant Dragon" is pretty cool.
-Enough extras for a couple of hours.
I think the main take-away from this review is that;
-you can choose to protect your kids from everything
-you can teach them how to cope with situatutions that they will inevitably encounter.
I certainly would not ban my kids from seeing an imaginative art peice like "Dumbo". In the famous words of Dori in "Finding Nemo"... "If you don't let anything happen to him, then nothing will happen to him. Not much fun for little Elmo".
5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, classic animation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dumbo (60th Anniversary Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
DUMBO is my favorite Disney film. Although is it barely 1 hour long, it is packed with complex themes and gorgeous animation, far beyond what was being done 60 years ago. DUMBO is a dark film, with echos of film noir. It is frequently raining or snowing, and much of the action takes place at night. Although much has been written about the hallucinatory "Pink Elephants on Parade" number, my favorite sequence (in fact, my all-time favorite Disney animated sequence) is the erecting of the circus tent scene. During the pouring rain, the circus workers, assisted by the elephants, put up the tent in a fantastic ballet of social realism, echoing the best of Ben Shahn and Diego Rivera. The animation swings around the scene, taking in only an arm here, a swinging hammer there. Topped by that swirling soundtrack, this scene is the best that Disney has ever done. The story may, at times be a bit too intense for younger viewers, but no more so than other Disney films where parents die (e.g., Bambi), or tense moments occur. On top of it all, the main character never speaks a word. This ain't no "bare necessities" film, rather, it is simply a work of art.

This review is from: Dumbo (60th Anniversary Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
'Dumbo' is one of my all-time favorite Disney classics. It's timeless! Everytime I watch it the story never gets old. There isn't another sweeter movie to match it. It's a darling story of how a little elephant with unusally big ears finds that no matter how unique you are you're always have a purpose in life. Who says that a character gotta speak in an animated film or any film for that matter? It's the emotion and facial expressions that speak louder than words. The innocence and sentiment surpasses it peers to a priceless treasure. You'll fall in love with the characters Dumbo and his circus companion, Timothy Q. Mouse. Other highlights of the movie is the scenes with the Crows and the music score (won an Academy Award in 1942 for Best Music Score), "When I see an Elephant Fly" sung by the Hall Johnson Choir, the pink elephant (could this be an 1941 anti-alcohol message?). You'll find yourself shedding a tear to "Baby Mine" (nominated for an Academy Award in 1942 for best song). If not, I pronounce you clinically brain dead. I always feel lulled into a calm state-of-mind every time I hear it. Try it sometime! In my honest opinion, the Top 10 all-time greatest Disney classics would be: 1. Dumbo, 2. Mary Poppins, 3. The Jungle Book, 4. Winnie the Pooh, 5. Pochantas, 6. Tarzan, 7. The Lion King, 8. Lady and the Tramp, 9. The Love Bug, 10. Fantasia.
5.0 out of 5 stars Lighten up, people! This is a GREAT movie!,
"zooropaflygirl" (USA) - See all my reviews
I am really not sure where to begin writing a decent sophisticated review with proper transitions, etc. ya da ya da- but I got to open up and say I LOVE this movie! It is quite possibly my favorite movie period. I am 17 and I have loved this movie for as long as I can remember; it's even better now, because I am old enough to appreciate its wonderful messages and morals. It's an anti-animal cruelty flick seen from the animals' point of view and pointing out the ignorance of the humans, and a realistic depiction of how cruel and unjust the world can be, and what can be done to overcome despite it all. Anyway, for those of you who aren't familiar with the plot (get your heads out of your rears and watch this, PLEASE) it's the story of a baby elephant delivered to Jumbo on a circus train from a stork. He is immediately derided by the fellow elephants and human audience because of his oversized ears. The only ones who who show any compassion are his mother Jumbo, and his friends-a mouse named Timothy and a flock of crows who give him support and encouragement.
I love the cleverness and depth of this movie- the mother and friends that stick up for him even if it results in sacrifices for themselves (Jumbo being confined from the other elephants for "disorderly conduct"), the loving bond between mother and son, and the anti-discrimination messages. By the way, this movie isn't racist, I know for a fact that it's ANTI-racist (uncountable reasons why that would require an entire separate review) and the crow scene was not intended to demean black culture but embrace it, (with a black cast); many people misread the content and took it the wrong way, seeing as most things at the time were condemnable and ignominious. Pretty outstanding for 1941 when there was still so much bigotry in the US. The same thing happened with the 1942 cartoon "Coal Black the Seven Dwarfs". And the "Roustabouts" scene wasn't bigoted, either. It's just a fact that in those days it was common for brothers to be willing to take the [bad] jobs if better ones weren't available, am I right? I am black myself telling you all of this, so does that make any of this more convincing? I'm not na�ve and I discern racism when I see it. The completely different selection of writers and blackless cast for the monkey scene in the Jungle Book, however, is an entirely different situation, but lets not get into that. If you are one of the neurotically oversensitive people who DO thing this movie's racist, your kids won't know anyway unless you rub it in their faces; you're only aggravating things.
Anyway, the parts of the movie that will delight people of all ages are the quaint and adorable animation of the animals and the classic catchy songs. My faves are the cute "Look Out For Mr. Stork", the clever pun-filled soul song "When I See An Elephant Fly", the hypnotic "Elephants On Parade", the catchy tunes "Casey Junior" and "Roustabouts"... they're all so good. The few good characters are lovable- benevolent Jumbo, cute little Dumbo/Jumbo Jr., the witty and hilarious (and cute may I add-I love cartoon birds) crows, the charismatic Timothy, and "good ol'" Mr. Stork. I detest the rest of the characters. The heartless elephants, that awful red-haired kid teasing Jumbo Jr., the selfish Mussoliniesque circus trainer who had disregard for the well-being and proper husbandry of the animals, and the *cough* clowns. Those are the most hideous clowns I have ever seen and have lurked in my nightmares as a child. What I also don't like about this film are the alcohol/drug references, anti or not. Although it may not do too much harm being that to the younger naive audience it will have no significance and to the older audience simply amusing and humorous, I still find the idea of an infant elephant getting drunk in a children's movie a little disturbing. And that psychedelic pink elephant scene- try and tell me that there weren't stoners involved in the writing and production of that part of the movie. As a little kid I thought it was entertaining on the eyes, now it makes me laugh, but I still can't help but wonder why that didn't frighten me as a small child. And how the neglecting elephants all of sudden started respecting Dumbo just because he was famous? That always made me outraged.
Despite of the film's few blunders, there are many times more good qualities that could make me care less. This movie literally is a classic.

NEW YORK -- The Standard & Poors 500 index is trading above 1,500 for the first time since December 2007.
The S&P has risen for the past six days. Thursdays gain followed a sudden drop in claims for unemployment benefits, another sign that the labor market is healing.
A plunge in Apples stock pulled the Nasdaq composite index lower. The electronics giant predicted slower sales.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 69 points at 13,849. The Standard & Poors 500 index inched above 1,500 in early trading, and was up four points at 1,499 as of 10:15 a.m.
The Nasdaq fell nine points to 3,144. A sharp drop in Apple, one of the countrys most valuable companies, is enough to pull down the technology-heavy index.

Wilmington Lake Placid school board member Gerald Blair, a former superintendent of the school system, spoke out during the public comment section of a school budget hearing May 1 at Whiteface Mountain's base lodge.
Blair's comments were the most extensive that a board member has offered at a public meeting in response to a long-running hail of public criticism from taxpayers.
The former superintendent addressed the outrage over the controversial actions of current school superintendent Randy Richards and the board's apparent disinclination to remove him from his post.
"This is not something where I am against you, but I am sick and tired to hearing — week, after week, after week — about how terribly we are handling the situation. I'm telling you: The situations are being handled."
"I'm in the business of education, only been there for 48 years," Blair said in a characteristic aside.
"I'm speaking for myself. I'm not speaking for anyone else on the board. Maybe a few facts might be helpful."
Blair addressed the comments of individual critics of the school board.
"Tim Kelley: 'Current board members are consistently ignoring the desires of the taxpayers and the public, to continue to defend a superintendent who has cost the district untold dollars.'"
"I'm not exactly sure of the untold dollars," Blair said. "I'm sure there must be millions that somebody knows about that I'm not familiar with."
"Any cost that has been incurred in any Mulderig case, the insurance paid for the lawyer. I want to repeat that: Insurance paid for the lawyer," said Blair.
Kelley responded in a letter to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.
"Who pays for the insurance if not the district?" wrote Kelley. "Once an insurance company pays a claim it usually follows that the premium for the insured will then increase."
Blair, again quoting Kelley, said, "Tim mentioned, 'The board seems to almost be pleased, if not proud, to let an elementary position go.'"

Lawyers will always tell you to shut up. It's not really legal advice, just SOP. If Blair is now so talkative maybe he can tell us what happened with the superintendent and the principal who just left with a buyout. He wants people to have facts before they act, but then supplies no facts. 'Trust me' doesn't work anymore in Lake Placid.

Latest Version
Levenberg - MarquardtLevenberg-Marquardt [Levenberg44, Marquardt63] is a gradient descent method. It is a hybrid between the steepest descent and the Newton methods.
The Newton optimization method searches for the minimum of a nonlinear function by following descent directions determined from the function's first and second partial derivatives. The steepest descent method searches for a minimum based only on the first derivatives of the function. While the Newton method converges quadratically towards the minimum in its vicinity, it may not converge at all if it is far away from it. On the other hand the steepest descent method only converges linearly but is guaranteed to converge.
Levenberg first suggested an improvement to the Newton method in order to make it more robust, i.e. to overcome the problem of non-convergence. His suggestion was to add a factor to the diagonal elements of the Hessian matrix of second derivatives when not close to the minimum (this can be judged by how positive definite the matrix is). The effect when this factor is large compared to the elements of Hessian is that the method then becomes the steepest descent method. Later Marquardt suggested that the factor should be multiplicative rather than additive and also defined a heuristic to make this factor increase or decrease. The method known as Levenberg-Marquardt is thus an adaptive method that effectively changes between the steepest descent to the Newton method.
The original suggestions of Levenberg and Marquardt were effective to enhance the Gauss-Newton method, a variant of the Newton method specifically for minimizing least-squares functions. In this case the advantage is also that the second derivatives do not need to be calculated as they are estimated from the gradient of the residuals. Subsequently Goldfeld et al. [Goldfeld66] extended the method to the case of general non-linear functions.

Cities like Rome, Naples and Florence in central Italy are home to some of the country's best cultural attractions. The famously beautiful cities are the perfect place to experience Italy's thriving arts and culture, as well as sampling the superb local wine, cheese and pizza. Further south, the sun-drenched coastal towns offer a delightful piece of traditional Italian life, with wild coastlines perfect for sightseeing by car. If you're more interested in winter sports, northern Italy is home to fantastic ski slopes and resorts, as well as the world-famous Lake Como and Lake Maggiore.
Italy is home to some of Europe's finest attractions, from Roman landmarks to the dazzling lakes in the north – not to mention the world-class cuisine. When the sun goes down, spend balmy evenings sipping wine on a pavement bar and choosing from a delicious range of local specialties and Italian classics. Take a leisurely boat trip along the southern coast or wander the atmospheric waterfront promenades, and if you're on holiday in Italy with kids, keep them busy playing water sports on the beach, learning to ski or bringing out their inner knight exploring fascinating medieval castles.
At the top of any list of Italy's attractions will be its food. Its fertile green landscapes, traditional towns and coastline produce a famous array of culinary treasures, with signature dishes varying by region. The best places in Italy for foodies include Emilia-Romagna, home of Parma ham and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, and Tuscany for the country's best olive oil and Chianti. Don't forget to stop in Naples, site of the world's first pizzeria. The humble pizza is a brand new experience in its authentic state – think fresh buffalo mozzarella, handmade dough and sweet, juicy tomatoes.
Italy's attractions are some of the most famous in the world. Think of European culture and you think of Rome's Trevi Fountain, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the winding canals of Venice. Visit Pompeii, the perfectly preserved city near Mount Vesuvius, or the capital's staggering Colosseum. The golden ribbon of the Amalfi Coast is an inviting stretch of waterfront towns, beaches and rugged green scenery. Kids will love the beaches and exploring the countryside on their bikes. If you're planning a romantic getaway, the dreamy dinners, cosy wine bars and boutique hotels are the perfect environment.
When you're thinking of places to visit in Italy, chances are its many ancient cities come to mind. The country's natural attractions may surprise you – the north is home to sparkling Alpine ski resorts and the trio of natural wonders that are Lake Como, Lake Garda and Lake Maggiore. There are plenty of things for kids to do in Italy's great outdoors, with sweeping landscapes and lakeside towns for camping, sailing and adventure. If you'd prefer something a little more relaxing, the south has gems like Capri, a tiny island adrift in the Mediterranean.
Foodies: Each of Italy's unique regions produce authentic culinary delights that have established the country's reputation for world-class cuisine.
