At the screening of Spring Breakers that I attended, I counted eight viewers who walked out of the movie, and stayed out, well before the end credits rolled. In all honesty, I'm amazed the tally wasn't higher than that. The movie being touted in print and in trailers promises a rowdy, randy romp in the sun with built-in audience-grabbers: Disney princesses acting nasty! James Franco with cornrows and grillz! But the movie that writer/director Harmony Korine has actually made – despite, indeed, its also being a rowdy, randy romp in the sun – bears so little relation to its cheeky, borderline-innocuous advertising campaign that patrons can be easily forgiven for feeling badly misled and deciding to bolt. It would be like going to see Dumbo and instead getting Gus Van Sant's Elephant.

Last summer, when Superbad hit it big, we learned that co-writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg wrote a first draft of the script when they were 13. Rogen is now credited as co-writer (with Kristofer Brown) for the revenge-of-the-nerds comedy Drillbit Taylor, and although I haven't done any research on the film's history, I'm kind of hoping it's something he began working on when he was, say, eight or nine. Juvenile is one thing, but remedial is quite another, and unfortunately, Drillbit Taylor feels as though it was hastily assembled during a grade-school sleepover in which Rogen began prepping Superbad, with My Bodyguard and Ferris Bueller's Day Off used as additional "inspiration."

Stephen Sommers' action thriller Van Helsing, the first of 2004's torrent of summer blockbusters, is big, loud, frenetic, and almost no fun at all. For those who've missed the omnipresent previews, the film is a special-effects bonanza featuring Hugh Jackman as the titular character, a taciturn growler who spends 130 minutes attempting to rid his corner of Europe from a series of CGI-created monsters, and it's all treated with such solemnity that I wouldn't have been surprised to see Henrik Ibsen listed as a screenwriter.

Uptime and utilization are everything, so you don't want a truck sitting on the shop floor during basic battery maintenance. Most fleets pull the batteries at the first sign of trouble and replace them with fresh batteries to get the truck moving again, planning to deal with the bad batteries later.But what killed the batteries in the first place?
If there's a problem with the truck's electrical system, simply replacing the bad batteries with fresh ones may consign those to the scrap bin, too.

Rated 1 out of 5 by shawnnashops Sort of worked...once. Had high hopes for this grinder, but had to return it. The first time I used it, I had to keep the lid twisted tightly in order to get it to run. As soon as I stopped holding it on, the grinding stopped. The next time I tried it, nothing. I'm assuming it was a short in the system. Was given a full refund with no troubles. May 20, 2015

The Boat that Rocks was little more than an abomination and a shameful waste of my ten pounds and hours that I will never be able to claw back. Poor Phillip Seymour Hoffman just looked embarrassed throughout. It was a disappointing waste of British talent for something that could have been a good showcase. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. And if you have diabetes avoid Love Actually on pain of death.

In Part Two we encounter racist dogs, floating corpses, dancing globes and stripping starlets, plus one very crabby folk singer and a whole boatload of misguided Britpop twerps...
40. Sleuth
Directed by Kenneth Branagh
Footlights folliesPicture the scene: maverick RSC mainstay-cum-hazardously dodgy middle-brow director Kenneth Branagh is gleefully micturating on the grave of Old Hollywood golden boy Joseph L Mankiewicz while Harold Pinter is stage left sobbing his sweary heart out. That pretty much sums up what Branagh did with his woeful updating the 1972 version of 'Sleuth', a flapping-mad turkey which died a death both critically and commercially. Certainly the prospect was intriguing: Pinter returning to Hollywood screenwriting; Michael Caine going mano-a-mano with Jude Law; Branagh's first non-Shakespeare adap in donkey's years. But the execution was laughable, amounting to a film which comprised little more that two men shouting at each other across what looks like a Swedish furniture outlet. And on that note, let's also say that Branagh's upcoming take on Marvel's 'Thor' comic book has yet to moisten our filmgoing slacks. DJ

39. Enter the Void (2009)Directed by Gaspar NoeGiving up the ghostApparently it's the film that confrontational Argentina-born, France-based director Gaspar Noe has been eking towards his entire career, and it's a high-rise, sense-battering balancing act that topples almost instantly, then keeps tumbling for the entire near three hour runtime. Originally inspired by a accidental late-night viewing of Robert Montgomery's 1947 film 'Lady of the Lake', parts of which are told from the perspective of a dead person, 'Enter the Void' employs some of the woozy, POV camera techniques used in his previous film 'Irreversible' to tell of a young drug dealer's out-of-body plight after he is gunned down in a Tokyo nightclub. His ghost floats around the neon-lit city as we slowly discover the circumstances of his death and the fate of his expat sister who works as a stripper. Following its premiere at Cannes in 2008, the film drew parallels to both the eye-zapping 'third-age-of-man' fx reel at the end of '2001: A Space Odyssey' and the tedium of a screen saver custom built by Athena. Beyond that, it's a movie hampered by single-minded visual ambition (uterus-cam anyone?), wildly oscillating between dreamcatcher profundity and gross puerility and constantly pushing at visual and aural boundaries at the expense of character, logic and clear themes. As much as any cult movie can be deemed a folly, this one will undoubtedly draw a small but adoring late-night crowd, but we sincerely hope that this is one that Noe needed to get out of his system as opposed to a template for future mind-frags.

38. White Dog (1981)Directed by Sam Fuller
KKK-9Uncle Sam Fuller made a habit of stubbing his fat stogie out on the cinematic rulebook, tackling interracial love ('The Crimson Kimono'), FBI incompetence ('Pickup on Southstreet') and US army savagery ('The Steel Helmet') at times when those subjects were just not kosher. Endgame for Fuller came with his 1982 film 'White Dog', which was considered so politically incendiary and downright out-of-order that it was buried by producers Paramount and remained 'lost' for close to 30 years. Focusing on a white dog who has been trained by a past owner to attack black people, the film traces the dog's incremental rehabilitation. Of course, seeing it now, it's quite clear that its message was initially misconstrued, and that it is in fact a plea for tolerance, understanding and education, and not, y' know, a celebration of violent racial hatred.

37. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)
Directed by Andrew Dominik
Outlaw blues"They got their company rules, and I got my mean streak - and that's how we get things done." So intones Brad Pitt's Jesse James while robbing a mail train early on in Dominik's elegant revisionist Western. It's a phrase that could serve as a rallying cry for many of the films in this list. Surely no one involved in the great many of these hugely expensive movies could ever imagine they would make back even a fraction of their often vast budgets. That isn't to say that many of them are not fine pieces of work. 'Jesse James' is a case in point: a beautiful, mournful, riveting film that we should be endlessly grateful for, it's a folly all the way. But if Hollywood continues to gift us films of this quality whist still managing to balance their budgets, then we'll all get along just fine. ALD

36. Masked and Anonymous (2003)Directed by Larry Charles
You got a lotta nerveUntouchable though he is with a battered acoustic on his knee and a blues harp in his word-hole, Bob Dylan's intermittent attempts to forge a big screen career have only ended up making David Bowie look like Brando. The signs were all there in the lamentable emo goof-around, 'Hearts of Fire', where he plays a bubble-permed folk troubadour 'with a past' who has to battle for the affections of a fiery strumpet with Rupert Everett's moneyed, PVC-clad Le Bon-a-like synth monster. But special mention this time goes to 2003's direct-to-DVD oddity 'Masked and Anonymous', which is not so much a train wreck, but 4256 trainwrecks converging on the site of a children's hospital. Dylan (who contributed to the screenplay) stars as Jack Fate, a cowboy minstrel looking to re-find fame in a bizarre, 'Repo Man'-like dystopian future peopled by Hollywood B-listers. Though taste calamities abound throughout, the main problem is that Dylan mistakes movie dialogue for inscrutable rock lyrics, so you're choked on meandering monologues like:
'Things fall apart, especially all the neat order of rules and laws. The way we look at the world is the way we really are. See it from a fair garden and everything looks cheerful. Climb to a higher plateau and you'll see plunder and murder. Truth and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. I stopped trying to figure everything out a long time ago.'
Even Uncut readers gave this one a wide berth. DJ

35. Showgirls (1995)Directed by Paul Verhoeven
'I'm erect. Why aren't you erect?'Violent femmes, bisexual bitch fights, sex in the swimming pool... it must be a Paul Verhoeven/Joe Eszterhas collaboration. High on the success of icepick-wielding bonkfest 'Basic Instinct', the duo decided to take one step closer to cheap porn and accidentally made a giant leap into camp cult classic. A flop at the box office, the story of the supposedly sassy stripper (a blank-faced Elizabeth Berkeley) became celebrated on video and DVD, when students could enjoy it in the privacy of their own rented accommodation, rewind the gratuitous sex bits and howl with ironic laughter at the risible dialogue. The thought that Verhoeven intended it to be taken seriously is the joke that keeps on giving. ASWatch an awesome DIY stage tribute to the movieRead the Time Out review
34. Guest House Paradiso (1999)Directed by Adrian 'Ade' Edmondson
Rock bottomThis mile-high tsunami of bogies marked the closing chapter in the near 30-year comedy partnership between Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson, and what a tawdry, vile and mirthless affair it is. This flat-footed big screen outing took everything that was naff about the (intermittently superb) BBC sitcom 'Bottom' - the play fighting, the crude innuendo, the pound-shop special effects - and supercharged it into an embarrassing mess of a movie that looked like a cross between an intensely blue Roy Chubby Brown routine and 'Noel's House Party'. In the end, it falls between the failure and folly stools, as we all know that when Rik and Ade are on form, filthy gems like 'Mr Jolly Lives Next Door' can worm on to our screens. DJ

33. The Boat that Rocked (2009)Directed by Richard Curtis
Shit floatsWinsome bourgeois romcom rejuvenator Curtis had already taken a shot at crafting an epic failure with his rambling, teeth-hurtingly sweet portmanteau plodder 'Love, Actually', but much to everyone's surprise it actually made money. And so Curtis upped anchor and set sail for the '60s - or at least some sickeningly twee version of same, where men wore frilly shirts and women kept their mouths shut, where marriage was accidental and rape just another wacky coming-of-age adventure. 'The Boat that Rocked' truly is a seedy, objectionable little film: devoid of narrative drive, character development, warmth or genuine good humour, drowning in sickly ITV clichés and barefaced sexism, sucking any sense of excitement or danger from what should have been a timely celebration of cultural rebellion. Falling flat with British audiences thanks to its punishing 135 minute runtime, the film was heavily edited for US consumption, but still managed to flop there. Despite remaining in demand as a screenwriter, Curtis currently has no more directorial projects in development. Please, God, keep it that way. TH

32. Ishtar (1987)Directed by Elaine May
'Dune' of the dunes...In the case of some of the mega-budget skidmarks that crud up this list, you can at least look up at the screen and see where all the money went. Elaborate set pieces, massive sets, casts of thousands - none of these come cheap (or at least they didn't until CGI came along and took a dump in the laundry basket). With others, however, you're left gaping up at the screen and wondering just which galactic orifice all those millions disappeared into. 'Ishtar', for instance, is a film about two jobbing New York musicians getting a gig in a fictional North African country and finding themselves lost in the desert. A couple of exterior NY shoots, an airport set and a few closing scenes in the Mojave and you'd have a perfectly serviceable direct-to-vid mid-'80s comedy starring, perhaps, James Belushi, or, if you're lucky, John Candy. But factor in the star wattage and renowned perfectionism of multi-take merchants Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman and the same exact flick ends up being filmed in Tunisia and costing $60 million. None of this would matter if the film showed the barest flicker of humour, invention or charm. But. It. Don't. ALD

31. The Great Dictator (1940)Directed by Charlie Chaplin
He's got the whole world in his handsIt wasn't long after its 1940 release that history took a studded cosh to Chaplin's double-barrelled satire of fascist sturm und drang: when news made it to the West of the vile extent of Hitler's atrocities, the jokes just didn't seem so funny any more. The pomp and pageantry of National Socialism - specifically how it was viewed from outside Germany - were gustily lampooned in this story of Adenoid Hynkel (Chaplin), the ruthless, comically effete dictator of the fictional state of Tomainia whose persecution of local Jews leads him to get embroiled with a World War One grunt (Chaplin again) who later assumes his identity. The film was a huge hit upon its release, working as much as a slice of rallying wartime propaganda as it did a seat-filling high-class blockbuster. And it contained some of the director-star's most memorable work, not least the famous scene where he waltzes with an inflatable globe. Yet the film has fallen out of favour somewhat, its closing to-camera plea for tolerance and camaraderie coming across like an uneasy peace of soap-box hectoring suggesting Chaplin had perhaps lost confidence in the visual potency of the medium, a potency that had made him a silent era star in the first place.

As somebody who frequently posts under the name Pretorius, I am appalled by the moronic post below. Not only does he have his "its" back to front with his "it's", he doesn't seem to have read the piece he's commenting on. The film WAS a financial success. All that noted, I must, alas, agree that The Great Dictator does not stand up. As others have said, the final speech pulls you out of the film and comes across as absurdly preachy. I saw it about five years ago in a new print and was amazed at how clunky, broad and witless it seemed. In short, it belongs in this list.
The "real" Rosenbaum (i.e., me), currently returning from a little over a week in Argentina, is the same one who knows that "it's" is an abbreviation for "it is" and "its" is a possessive adjective.
Agree with the author. Chaplin's climactic bromide is functional for radio but this is the same director who spoofed American bourgeoisie and hypocrisy sans dialogue. The Three Stooges--and I'm forfeiting comparison to Chaplin--concluded their own satire of Hitler's fascism with De Fuhrer (Moe) and his propagandists (Larry & Curley) devoured by lions; personally, I prefer the low-brow resolution.
i have seen THE BOAT THAT ROCKED and i loved it so much, and i agree with mark LOVE ACTUALLY was a great movie. I own both movies and watch them all the time!!!!!!!
Not sure what you're talking about, Pretorius. Rosenbaum correctly used "it's" as a conjunction, not a possessive. I believe (and hope) that this is the real Rosenbaum, seeing as his opinions on Ishtar and Chaplin are consistent with past writings. He is absolutely right, though. Whatever the writer's personal feelings about The Great Dictator, it has no place on a list of flops. It was a smash hit success when it came out and remains Chaplin's most profitable film. Today, it still retains a classic status, as evidenced by its high rating on IMDB's website, and the hour-long documentary on its DVD, including interviews with notables like Sidney Lumet. Godard also called it the second best American sound film ever made.
The Great Dictator is a masterpiece that holds up to time like few political films. The speech at the end is, perhaps, more relevant to-day than it was 70 years ago. No wonder it was played at midnight during a concert L.A. to ring in our first year without Bush as president. God bless Chaplin!
The Great Dictator is nearly unwatchable now, That last speech is ghastly.
I haven't seen THE BOAT THAT ROCKED but I have seen LOVE,ACTUALLY, which is mentioned quite disparagingly in the article. LOVE ACTUALLY was the best comedy released in the first decade of this millenium, funny and touching, wonderfully acted and inventively directed. It should have made more money.
From Major Whoa: "The same movie is listed in many film books as a classic!" For God's sake. About half the posts on this article seem to be from people that are missing the bloody point. The piece on the Great Dictator clarifies that the author thinks the film contains some of Chaplin's best work. This is a list of (largely) FINANCIAL flops. They're saying it made no money. The quality of the film is neither here nor there.
"The Great Dictator" a flop? The same movie is listed in many film books as a classic! I'm not sure I agree with you on that one.
It is not, I fear, the real Rosenbaum. The genuine article knows when to use "it's" and when to employ "its".
Wait, THE Jonathan Rosenbaum?! Really enjoyed Movie Wars :)
Failing to recognize the biting and hilarious political satire of ISHTAR is by now routine (and boring), but calling THE GREAT DICTATOR a "flop" and/or "disaster" is downright stupid. For whatever it's worth, I'd much rather hear and see what Chaplin has to say about Hitler than read your own wisdom on the subject. And so would many other people.

01.22.10 Photography
On the Road in March
One thing I'm particularly excited for 2010 is the amazing opportunity to connect and share with other photographers. Nothing is better than learning from many people at once and this March is going to be epic. EPIC. I said it louder in case my dad didn't hear me the first time. In March I will be meeting and connecting with many new photographers and I'm incredibly excited to meet many of you!!
For my Canadian friends, I'll be speaking in British Columbia for the ImageQuest 2010 Photography Convention on Tuesday, March 23, 2010. I'd lovelovelove to meet my Canadian friends there and I have no doubt the conference will be an awesome culmination of great ideas, tips, and knowledge! For more information CLICK HERE to visit the site and find registration information.
Also in March I'm headed to Phoenix, Arizona for the PROPhotogs Convention and I'll be speaking on Thursday, March 11, 2010. Cher Salo and her team take a lot of time and energy planning these conventions and I have no doubt we'll have a blast!
Lastly, I'll be speaking at WPPI, but there's been a change in the schedule. My new and official presentation time is Monday, March 8 @ 6:30pm. Holllllla! I'm terribly excited and nervous for this opportunity and though I suspect I'll be hiding in a bathroom stall begging for divine deliverance just minutes before I have to speak, I'm sure we're gonna have fun! As most of you know, WPPI is the biggest photography convention/conference/tradeshow in the world and it's definitely a great place to be to grow and learn.
In light of this, WPPI is having a CONTEST! Woohoo! If you'd like to be hooked up with FREE VIP Registration, a FREE room at the MGM during WPPI, and national exposure for you via Rangefinder, WPPIOnline, and Aftercapture, this is for YOU!!! All you have to do is create a two-minute video uploaded to YouTube explaining what you love most about WPPI. That's it! For more information regard the video contest, Click HERE for more information!
By the way, if you win, I let you buy me a Pellegrino and we can toast to your awesomeness!

I had my appt yesterday and the dr said I wasn't dilated at all but the baby is low. That was my first cervical check. I am 38+6 today. I woke up at 530am this morning to intense cramping which I thought were really bad gas pains. I tried to bm and pass gas with no luck. When I wiped I saw tinges of blood on the tp and in the toilet. (sorry for the tmi) I got so uncomfortable, I took my pants off to relieve pressure. No help. It gets so bad I can't walk or talk. I started timing them and they are lasting about 45 seconds every 5-7 min. Is it possible to go from being completely closed to in labor in less than 24 hours? I hate to go in and have it be nothing since my SO is at work and my mom has an interview today. But I'm at home alone and since I've never gone through this before I'm kinda freaking out. Any advice?
how fast can dilation change?
Posted 01/22/2013
Posted 01/22/2013
Yes it is possible. If your contractions are really regular 5-7 mins apart call your doctor and get your ride set up! Cervical checks especially rough ones can trigger labor, or it could just be time!
Posted 01/22/2013
Just last week my friend had an appt and was only 1 cm. She had her little boy by 6am the next day! Good luck!
Posted 01/22/2013
Yup. Anything is possible.

It took me a day and a half to go from 1 to 6. Then I went from 6 to he was born in a matter of minutes! We thought we had hours to go but little man had other plans! My doctor barely made it in the room! We thought my hubby and 1 nurse were going to deliver me, they didn't even have time to break the bed down! I would call the doctor and go on in! Good luck, and congrats!

Really, really fast! Lol I sat at 3cm for weeks. Once water broke and 4 hours into laboring I was at a 5. I was so disappointed. Then about 4 minutes later I was complete and maybe 10-15 minutes later baby was born.

Thanks ladies! They wont let me come in till I have a ride there. They told me to rest and they are going to call me back in 30-45 min to see how I'm doing. Ugh! My mom will hopefully be here soon. I'll keep you posted!
Posted 01/22/2013
With all of mine I would take for-friggin-ever to get to 5cm. Then after hitting 5 cm I jump to 10 within 10 minutes. I've also never pushed more than 4 times. This peanut was my fourth and my Dr and I actually made bets on who could "call" how my labor goes. He said I would progress slowly and have her early the next morning (I was induced with no dilation or any progress) I said I would stall at 3cm for a few hours then hit 5cm, my water would break and I would be 10 and ready.... I was right lol. Anyways, good luck momma and sending peaceful thoughts to you!

City Attorney Debate: Carmen Trutanich Was For Prison Realignment Before He Was Against It
Mike Feuer and Carmen Trutanich
Carmen Trutanich and Mike Feuer have been hammering each other in press releases for months. Last night, the two rivals in the race for L.A. city attorney got their first opportunity to spar in person, in a debate at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks.
Trutanich, the incumbent, is trying to reboot his image after his disastrous bid for D.A. Unlike in that campaign, his advisers have said he will debate his opponents and make himself available for interviews.
He's also rebooting his position on at least one major issue: prison realignment.
During the race for D.A., Trutanich supported the state's plan to reduce prison overcrowding by transferring responsibility for inmates from the state to the counties. Trutanich put out a position paper, which is still on his campaign website, in which he called realignment "an opportunity":
"It's here and we need to stop bemoaning it and look at as an opportunity to fundamentally transform our correctional system... One reason that we're in this mess is because our criminal justice system is
over-reliant on incarceration."
But now, Trutanich is running against Feuer, who voted for realignment in the state Assembly. That means it's time to start bemoaning it again. In last night's debate, Trutanich accused Feuer of having "balanced our budget on the back of public safety," and blamed prison realignment for 16 murders committed by ex-cons in L.A. County.
Turning to Feuer, he asked "What do you have to say to the victims' families?"
Feuer countered that Trutanich was either "woefully misinformed or trying to mislead people," and said that realignment did not lead to the premature release of any state prisoners. Feuer also accused Trutanich of engaging in a "politically opportunistic strategy" by changing his tune on the issue, and suggested that Trutanich supported realignment in the first place only because he was seeking the endorsement of Gov. Jerry Brown.
When it was Feuer's turn to ask a question, he asked Trutanich why he hadn't taken a voluntary pay cut to show solidarity with his staff, who have seen their salaries slashed 13% due to furloughs. Trutanich, who earns $214,000 a year, said he could not afford to take a pay cut because his wife's pension was wiped out when her company went bankrupt.
"We live on my salary," Trutanich said. "At the end of the day, no more political gimmicks. It's time to take the games out of the race."
The rest of the debate was just as hostile, with a series of harsh exchanges on medical marijuana, the death penalty, truancy, genetically modified foods and Measure J, the failed measure to extend the transit tax.
Judging by applause, the crowd seemed to tilt in Feuer's favor. Trutanich's spokesman, John Schwada, chalked that up to the fact that the debate was held on Feuer's "home turf" in the San Fernando Valley.
Greg Smith, a private attorney, is also running in the March election. But the Sherman Oaks Homeowners Association, which hosted the debate, did not invite him to participate.

Hot answers tagged musaf
I was a little boy at home when my father Yigal Calek ny"v composed Mareh Cohen - there's a very interesting 'composer's inspiration' story to go with it too... Anyway, so yes, pretty much "at the source" ;)
I believe it's to encourage people to actually do it. That's the simplest take-home lesson from the Davening.
The Levush (brought by the Mishnah Berurah - Orach Chaim Siman 423) says that since the Teffilah of Mussaf is instead of the Korban Mussaf and when we give the Korban it is like a Yom Tov, therfore Just like on Yom Tov we do not wear Teffilin, so too, by Hallel we do not wear Teffilin. (As an aside he adds when the Kriyas Hatorah of the Korban Mussaf is ...
After a bit more searching, it looks like Yigal Calek of the London School of Jewish Song may be the original composer as late as 1971.
The Sefer Birchei Yosef 423:2, which is written by the Chida says that Musaf for Rosh Chodesh was instituted by Rochel Imainu. Her name is hinted in the first letters of Ro'shei Cho'doshim L'Amecha. http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=7626&st=&pgnum=170
Simple answer -- there are twelve terms of request in a normal year (chaim, shalom, sason, simcha ...), one for each month. Leap year has a thirteenth month, so a thirteenth term. Now why we say "indemnity of iniquity" [try saying that five times fast!] per se (other than it follows nicely from the previous pair about forgiveness and pardon), and whether ...
This was birkat kohanim, the priestly blessing, which (in the diaspora, at least for Ashkenazim) is done only on the high holy days and festivals. In Israel it is done at each morning service (where a minyan is present). This is a reflection of a temple practice. I have been taught that one reason our kohanim take their shoes off is because they did in ...
Yerushalmi Taanis Perek 2 Halacha 1 אמר רבי לעזר: שלשה דברים מבטלין את הגזירה קשה ואילו הן: תפילה וצדקה ותשובה.
Mishna B'rura 622:5 (in my own free translation) explains the Rama's ruling that it's not said with the following explanation: That's because on Shabas it's said to complete the discrepancy of 100 b'rachos, which is not necessary on Yom Kipur due to the plethora of praises we say. The make-up of the k'tores also needn't be said, as it's included in the ...
Your question is asked word for word by the Mishnah Berurah on Orach Chayim 132, seif katan 14: וצ"ע למה אנו אומרין אותה בשבת ויו"ט אחר מוסף והלא הקטורת קודמת למוספין לכו"ע והיא שייכא לקרבן תמיד And he gives the Magen Avraham's answer as a possibility - that we want to finish our prayer with divrei Torah, before starting out with our day: ואפשר ...
The kapparah of Rosh Chodesh is different than the regular type. On one level, the goat offered as a chatas on this day (also on the other Yamim Tovim, incidentally, except for Yom Kippur) is to atone for cases of tum'ah involving the Beis Hamikdash or sacred foods where there was "no knowledge at the beginning or the end" - in other words, the person never ...
Nitei Gavriel, in the introduction to the second volume of his Laws of Niddah, quotes the Sefer Imrei Yehudah Al Hatorah. (It starts here, but the part that's relevant to us is here). The Imrei Yehudah Al Hatorah (Tazria pg. 89) explains that we say: כי בעמך ישראל בחרת מכל האומות וחוקי ראשי חדשים להם קבעת For you have chosen your nation ...
I just found a Kunteros Achron #448 published on the bottom of the Taamei Haminhagim #448. He writes that the reason we say Ulichaporas Pasha is in case the year was made into a leap year in error and through that we are eating Chomeitz on Pesach.
Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky in his Sefer brings as the source for a Shabbos morning Drasha prior to Musaf Brachos 28b first Rashi.
The red-letter days listed in your question are, indeed, the only times we say it, and for the reason you quote: because those are the days the musaf sacrificial offerings were offered to God in the Temple back in the good old days. See Numbers chapters 28–29.
The reason we take off our tefillin before mussaf is (1) because many say in the kedusha of mussaf, "Kesser Yitnu Lecha", and therefore we need not be wearing the "kesser" of tefillin. (Or I heard once that perhaps it is disrespectful to say "Kesser Yitnu Lecha" while we are wearing our own "crowns" of tefillin.) (2) Even for those who don't say "kesser ...
Although the Taz (S.A. O.C 55:3) only requires a minyan at the time of kadish, the Magen Avraham (69:4, 234:1) and others say that there needs to be a minyan at the time of pesukim/learning for the kadish to go on. I assume that the shuls don't want to leave the Torahs out and don't want to change the order of davening (and say ashrei after the Torahs are ...
According to this article, in Eretz Yisrael in ancient times they did recite the entire section for each Yom Tov (including the verses describing the menachos and nesachim). But because it's difficult to remember them (particularly before siddurim began to be written), in Babylonia the ומנחתם ונסכיהם paragraph was created to regularize the description of ...
The Ramat Shmuel in his commentary on Pesachim writes that Musaf was established by Avraham. Since the posuk (Bereishis 19:27) says: "And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the LORD." which implies that he had stood there previously to pray and if so, necessarily we are talking about Musaf. This is why it said "to ...
In the Kuntras Yekar Tifferes (http://beta.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=36072&st=&pgnum=204) the author brings this question in the name of HaRav Zvi Perzovicz shlitoh who provides an interesting answer. The Tur in the beginning of Hilchos Rosh Chodesh says that really the 12 Roshei Chadashim should have been Yomim Toivim, however, because of ...
The source is the Bavli Rosh Hashanah 31a: במוספי דשבתא מה היו אומרים? אמר רב ענן בר רבא אמר רב: הזי"ו ל"ך. ואמר רב חנן בר רבא אמר רב: כדרך שחלוקים כאן - כך חלוקין בבית הכנסת. במנחתא דשבתא מה היו אומרים? אמר רבי יוחנן: אז ישיר ומי כמוך ואז ישיר At the additional sacrifice of Sabbath what did they say? — R. Anan b. Raba said in the name of Rab: ...
It seems from the language of the Shulchan Aruch 129:1 that the omission is dependent on the mincha service, not the time. In addition to shacharis, musaf and neilah, the SA allows bircas kohanim at mincha on a fast day based on 2 factors. Firstly, the custom [was] to daven late on fast days and so the mincha service takes on a similarity to a neila ...
The laws of Kiddush HaChodesh, when to make 2 days or 1 day Rosh Chodesh, and when to make a leap year.
Literally stumbled upon this source last week: http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=4199&st=&pgnum=454 and the following page 455 where the author [Rav Gedalia Felder, zt"l; Posek from Toronto, Ontario, Niftar in 1992] posits that the Drasha is not a Hefsek prior to Kaddish right before Musaf.
This issues is discussed at length by the Rishonim. The interesting opinion is that of Rabbeinu Meshulam (a student and contemporary of Rabbeinu Tam) who claims the Torah purposely omitted the chatat of Rosh Chodesh, because the Talmud states that it is brought to atone for Hashem for him making the moon smaller than the sun, and we do not want to mention ...
A thought that I had today. The main purpose of Rosh Chodesh according to what we say in Mussaf is "Roshei Chadosim L'Amcha Nosato, Zman Kaporo Lchol Toldosom" and this is reaffirmed when we have an additional 13th month by saying Ulichaporas Pesha. There are those that say Slichos Yom Kippur Kotton Erev Rosh Chodesh to have a Kaporo for the entire previous ...
This is a question that I am aware of that the Levush asked and left it as "there is a need for a reason why there was no Takana of Musafim for Parshas Zachor and Parshas Parah. See link of Elya Raba 685:14 http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=7767&hilite=171f6b96-23cf-46a0-8606-29300ae1edf4&st=%D7%96%D7%9B%D7%95%D7%A8&pgnum=434
Rav Binyamin Tabory said once in a Shi'ur that he personally takes off his Tefillin "early" - during UVa LeTzion - in order to avoid the problem of leaving his Tefillin in a heap (which he said was disrespectful - I think he called it a Bizayon, but I'm not 100% sure) during Musaf. He did not cite any sources other than RJB"S, but he felt it was not ...
The first "באהבה" refers to G-d's love, the second one refers to our love. According to the Levush (brought here), we add the 2nd "באהבה" on Shabbos, since we willingly, lovingly accepted Shabbos at Marah, before Matan Torah.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE this stuff. It is great by itself for a more (if possible...) subtle glittery look. But it can also be used as a bit of a glue, it you line your eyes with this then put glitter of your choice over it it looks soooo cool! Will DEFINATLY buy this again...might even look into some of the other colors.

To tell you the truth, I was actually tricked into buying this product...but I'm so happy I did. Normally, I HATE glitter..I hate how it gets everywhere and you're always finding random sparkles on you for days...but this...this is amazing. The color is great, as is the application. Normally, I tend to get annoyed when putting on liquid liners, but with this, i have no problem whatsoever. I use it during the day but I can also glam it up at night. I've been wanting to do a black cateye with Glam Rock applied lightly over it.

I just bought this a couple of hours ago and I looove it! I am usually not a glitter girl but I saw this collection of glitter liners on the Urban Decay website and just had to have one.
Glam Rock filled with mini round bits of silver glitter suspended in a clear gel that dries fast. I tested this at Sephora on the back of my hand and within a minute or so, it was dry and in place. I rubbed the swatch and nothing budged. Yes!
I think this liner will look great by putting on a touch of it, and I mean just a *touch* on the corners of the eyes. Imagine a black cat-eye look with a tiny dot of this glittery beauty applied on the winged tips. Talk about a hot night on the town! Also, I think this will be as a great top-lash liner.
The silver color is bright and super shiny and it looks like you do not have to be precise when making a line with this. Very forgiving and very, very fun! I also love how this liner a 'Vegan product.' Several of the items in the Urban Decay collection are now made with vegan, animal-free ingredients and as a vegetarian, I am very pleased! Whoo-hoo!

Wow! If you want glitter liner, this is the real deal!
"Glam Rock" is one of the newer shades, and it is PACKED with very fine, BRRIGHT silver glitter. The glitter is suspended in a clear gel-like base, so you don't get a solid line of glitter with the first swipe.
Just one more layer, however, gave me a nice thin line of twinkly silver glitter, just under my lower lashes. I'm still trying to decide if I can pull this off for dressier daytime occasions. It feels fairly wet on application, but once dry, it mostly stays put. I *do* notice some minor fallout, but much, much less than is typical of loose glitter. I didn't put on any primer, either.
I gave this a 4 because it's pretty enough to deserve a high score, but is almost surely not for everyone, any time of day. I'd buy this again if I ever run out, since I adore silver.
UPDATE: I'm raising the score of "Glam Rock," because it's the best silver eyeliner I've found, and I've tried plenty. A thin line under lower lashes only gives my eyes a subtle sparkle that's low key enough for day.
That said, I should add that this does not hold up well during a hormone-induced crying jag, so it's best not to wear this unless you're feeling very stable. Under normal wear, it's a lovely and very fun product. continued >>

The Adventures of TinTin
The Castafiore Emerald (1)
- Episode Description
After a gipsy fortune teller foresees trouble in Captain Haddock's palm, misfortune strikes Marlinspike Hall.

- Fan Reviews (1)
It was just as good as the book: Very slow moving and on the dull side, but I still liked it regardless
- Trivia & Quotes
Quotes (9)
Bianca Castafiore: Hello? Paris-Flash? Why of course. l'd be delighted. Tomorrow? Fine. I look forward to seeing you! Ciao! Captain Haddock: I thought you said you weren't doing any interviews? Bianca Castafiore: Yes but the Paris-Flash is the Paris-Flash.
Bianca Castafiore: Captain, when are you going to stop wearing that shapeless jersey? And that hair… you look like a scruffy little school boy.
Prof. Calculus: Reporters! They know about my rose. Reporter: Tell me, Professor... off the record, of course, is there something going on Between la Castafiore and Captain Haddock? Prof. Calculus: The Captain told you, didn't he? Reporter: Well... yes and no. Prof. Calculus: He promised not to tell. It's a secret! Reporter: Oh naturally! But how soon will it be? Prof. Calculus: It depends on the weather, of course. But they could be ready in three weeks or so.
Captain Haddock: (Reading the Parish Flash issue) 'Exclusive! Milanese nightingale Bianca Castafiore to marry old salt! Parrot: Old salt! Captain Haddock: Brutes! Filibusters! Prof. Calculus: Congratulations, my dear friend! What good news! (Captain grumbles) Bianca Castafiore: Oh, Captain. Have you seen the marvellous article the Paris Flash did on me? Captain Haddock: You call that a marvellous article? l call it preposterous! Outrageous! Bianca Castafiore: Oh, this isn't the first time, you know? They're always predicting I'm about to marry the most impossible people.
Captain Haddock: Television? Here? No, leave me alone! Bianca Castafiore: (Stealing the phone from him) Misericordia! Hello? Yes! Why of course. With pleasure! Fine.
Trivia (5)
Bianca Castafiore: Je ris de me voir si belle en ce miroir. And Bianca Castafiore: 'l love to see how lovely l look in this mirror. The line that Bianca Castafiore sings once and again belongs to the Charles Gounod's opera Faust. It is sung by Marguerite in the aria Jewel Song.
The action in this episode takes place in a weeks time.
Bianca Castafiore refers to Captain Haddock as: Captain Bartock, Captain Fatstock and Captain Graddock. In return, Captain Haddock refers to her as 'Signore Castoroili'.
Save for the initial encounter with the Gypsies at the dump, the action never leaves the confines of the Marlinspike Hall estate for the whole episode. It is the only domestic adventure of the series.
Herge can be seen twice during this episode: as part of the TV crew filming Bianca Castafiore at Marlinspike Hall and for a couple of seconds on Professor Calculus' "Super Cuthbert Colour" television.
Allusions (1)
Captain Haddock: l thought you weren't doing any interviews? Bianca Castafiore: Yes but the Paris-Flash is the Paris-Flash. Herge is alluding (both in the name and cover design) to the French magazine Paris Match, a weekly tabloid that covers international news as well as celebrity lifestyle features. With his depiction of the reporters, Herge jibes at the magazine's reputation for the questionable accuracy of its articles.

Deep in the Transylvanian countryside lies an ancient salt mine dating back over two millennia. Today Salina Turda has become an unlikely tourist attraction, with thousands of visitors descending its vertical shafts each year to play mini-golf, go bowling and row around its underground lake. [...] British photographer Richard John Seymour recently travelled to Salina Turda in his quest to document human-altered landscapes.

IABR–2014–URBAN BY NATURE–, the sixth edition of the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR), claims that we can only solve the world's environmental problems if we solve the problems of the city.

Looking through the lens of landscape architecture, IABR–2014– redefines the way we deal with urban challenges by analyzing the relationship between urban society and nature, and between city and landscape.
This edition of the biennale argues that cities are an integral part of huge urban landscapes, complex systems that have become our natural environment. This perspective has many implications for the way we plan and design our urban environment. Perceiving it as an organism opens up possibilities to develop spatial interventions that make use of its metabolism.
With the use of new and innovative design strategies that effectively address the city as the bigger urban landscape that it is, we can make the city more resilient and thus truly contribute to a more sustainable future...

As modern Philadelphia shapes its future, some of its citizens have turned to the artifacts of its former prowess for inspiration. Much as the High Line in New York is widely believed to have been partially responsible for the reinvigoration of not only a derelict site but also its surrounding neighborhood, a portion of elevated rail track in central Philly known as the Reading Viaduct has been hoisted into public view as a potential catalyst for urban transformation.

Because of Beijing's sky-high apartment rental costs, as many as two million people—about a tenth of the city's population—are said to be living below street level in underground storage basements and air-raid shelters partitioned into cramped, windowless rooms. Many of those who have to crowd into these homes are migrant workers like Wang, from the nearby province of Hebei.

The above ground structure is just like any other– with the only hints being multiple air conditioning units, and emergency exits around the property. The underground interior is one that's stuck in the hippy chic 1970′s days. Pink draperies, carpet and classic columns outfit the dated interior. Putting greens, a rock facade barbecue and natural style light settings make for an interesting setting that's completely user controlled.

Brian D. Koppy
Good morning and thank you for joining Barnes Group's third quarter 2008 earnings call and webcast. This is Brian Koppy, Director of Investor Relations and Communications for Barnes Group and with me this morning are Barnes Group President and CEO, Greg Milzcik, and acting Chief Financial Officer and Vice President and Controller, Frank Boyle.
I want to remind everyone that certain statements we make on today's call, both during the opening remarks and during the question and answer session, may be forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial statements. We encourage everyone to consider these risks and uncertainties that are described in our periodic filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission which are available through the investor relations section of our corporate website at www.bginc.com.
Our press release was issued this morning and we hope you've had a chance to review it. We will begin today's call with brief opening statements by Greg and then open the call up to answer your questions.
Now, let me turn the call over to Greg.
Gregory F. Milzcik
Good morning and thank you for joining us today. This morning we released our third quarter results which reflect both the progress we have made in improving a number of our businesses as well as the challenges that lie ahead as market conditions remain in flux.
Sales were down approximately 6% in the quarter, driven by the slowing economy and changing industry dynamics within the aerospace market. However, net income improved 5% in the quarter, which we achieved through a focus on productivity and lean enterprise programs which aided our efforts to control costs.
Clearly, the macroeconomic pressures in the U.S. and abroad have made their way into our business as we have seen in our recent to line results and short-term reductions or deferrals in key market sectors. We believe we can navigate through these disruptions without deviating from the long-term objectives we have set out to achieve as a company.
Over time we have built a company with strong global diversification and a significantly differentiated business. Barnes Group's diverse and global end markets are our greatest strength during these dynamic times. When combined with our liquidity position and overall balance sheet strength, we remain comfortable that we can operate in these turbulent markets while remaining focused on executing the necessary strategic objective to secure Barnes Group's market leadership position for the future.
A driving force behind our long-term success will be our favorable outlook for the aerospace sector. We remain cautious of the affect airline deferred maintenance and capacity cuts will have. We are confident the disruption that the Boeing strike had will be resolved and the strong industry fundamentals will prevail.
I want to take a moment to further comment on the Boeing strike, which essentially halted half the world's large commercial aircraft production. The adverse effect was not simply with suppliers doing business directly with Boeing, but also with tier suppliers, such as Barnes Group.
While we have been managing the Boeing 787 production slide throughout the year, the strike and its impact during the third quarter as well as the beginning of our fourth quarter adversely affected our business.
Roughly one third of Barnes Aerospace revenues are related to Boeing aircraft. Clearly the strike is short term in nature and for the most part we have seen backlog deferred rather than cancelled. It is unclear what the lasting effects will be on production related to delays. Therefore, we have acted quickly with prudent measures to implement workforce reductions, cost containment, and cost reduction actions during the third and early part of the fourth quarter to weather this difficult environment.
Similar to prior distresses in the aerospace industry, we are confident Barnes Group's aerospace business will emerge a stronger, leaner, and more efficient producer of complex components and assemblies.
Turning to the industrial manufacturing end markets, third quarter results for Barnes Industrial benefitted from our businesses outside of North America, which have provided upside for the business as the North American slowed. Our European strategic business units, SBUs, generated sales and operating profit improvement over the prior year as their high quality products continued to be in demand throughout their diverse end markets.
The North American manufacturing industry has been in a decline since last year but had only experienced moderate declines until recently. The largest industrial slowdown has been within the transportation end market. The North American transportation unit production was down approximately 17% in the third quarter. Adding to the adverse impact of declining production has been the move toward the manufacture of smaller vehicles as gas prices rise.

Best Contemporary Restaurant (2002)
Bizaare Avenue Cafe
A contemporary restaurant is one that speaks to today's tastes without succumbing to yesterday's trends. Bizaare takes that credo seriously. Set on a street filled with antique shops, this retro living-and-dining room speaks to the comfort of a coffeehouse. But rather than being passé, the place is up-to-the-vintage-minute -- every item is for sale. And we're not talking about your mother's dinette set. We're talking about your great-grandmother's dinette set, ugly when you were a child, cool now that you (and the rest of your social set) are into collecting. While you're at it, you might as well snag some menus too. Surely you'll want to return not just for the latest in estate-sale acquisitions but for those spring rolls, crab cakes, and chicken-artichoke crêpes. Just as it sounds, the fare is light and tasty, ideal for those following the five-small-meals-a-day plan. Dr. Atkins' fans may find this short-on-steak place a bit challenging, but what do they know? They're behind the contemporary times.
