Donner Party - Page 3

As the rest of the party continued to what
is now known as Donner's Lake, snow began to fall. Stanton and the
Indians who were traveling ahead made it as far as the summit, but
could go no further. Hopeless, they retraced their steps where five feet
of new snow had already fallen.
With the Sierra pass just 12 miles beyond,
the wagon train, after attempting to make the pass through the heavy snow,
finally retreated to the eastern end of the lake, where level ground and
timber was abundant. At the lake stood one existing cabin and realizing
they were stranded, the group built two more cabins, sheltering 59 people
in hopes that the early snow would melt, allowing them to continue their
The 22 people with the
Donners were about six miles
behind at Alder Creek. Hastily, as the snow continued, the party
built three shelters from tents, quilts, buffalo robes and brush to
protect themselves from the harsh conditions.
At Donner Lake, two more attempts were made
to get over the pass in twenty feet of snow, until they finally realized
they were snowbound for the winter. More small cabins were
constructed, many of which were shared by more than one family. The
weather and their hopes were not to improve. Over the next four months,
the remaining men, women, and children would huddle together in cabins,
make shift lean-tos, and tents.
Meanwhile, Reed and McCutchen had headed back up into the mountains
attempting to rescue their stranded companions. Two days after they
started out it began to rain. As the elevation increased, the rain
turned to snow and twelve miles from the summit the pair could go no
further. Caching their provisions in Bear Valley, they returned to
Sutter's fort hoping to recruit more men and supplies for the rescue. However, the Mexican War had drawn away the able-bodied men, forcing
any further rescue attempts to wait. Not knowing how many cattle the
emigrants had lost, the men believed the party would have enough meat to
last them several months.
Thanksgiving, it began to snow again, and the pioneers at Donner Lake
killed the last of their oxen for food on November 29th.
The very next day, five more feet
of snow fell, and they knew that any plans for a departure were
dashed.Many of their animals, including Sutter's mules, had wandered
off into the storms and their bodies were lost under the snow. A few
days later their last few cattle were slaughtered for food and party
began eating boiled hides, twigs, bones and bark. Some of the men
tried to hunt with little success.
On December 15, Balis
Williams died of malnutrition and the group realized that something
had to be done before they all died. The next day five men, nine
women and one child departed on snow shoes for the summit, determined
to travel the 100 miles to Sutter's Fort. However, with only
meager rations and already weak from hunger the group faced a
challenging ordeal. On the sixth day, their food ran out and for
the next three days no one ate while they traveled through grueling
high winds and freezing weather. One member of the party,
Charles Stanton, snow-blind and exhausted was unable to keep up with
the rest of the party and told them to go on. He never rejoined
the group. A few days later, the party was caught in a blizzard
and had great difficulty getting and keeping a fire lit. Antonio, Patrick Dolan, Franklin Graves, and Lemuel Murphy soon died
and in desperation, the others resorted to cannibalism.
Living off the bodies of those that died
along the path to Sutter's Fort, the snowshoeing survivors were
reduced to seven by the time they reached safety on the western side
of the mountains on January 19, 1847. Only two of the ten men
survived, including William Eddy and William Foster, but all five
women lived through the journey. Of the eight dead, seven had
been cannibalized. Immediately messages were dispatched to
neighboring settlements as area residents rallied to save the rest of
Donner Party.
On February 5, the first relief party of
seven men left Johnson's ranch, and the second, headed by James Reed, left
two days later. On February 19th, the first party reached the
lake finding what appeared to be a deserted camp until the ghostly figure
of a woman appeared. Twelve of the emigrants were dead and of the
forty-eight remaining, many had gone crazy or were barely clinging to
life. However, the nightmare was by no means over. Not
everyone could be taken out at one time and since no pack animals could be
brought in, few food supplies were brought in.
The first relief party soon left with 23
refugees, but during the party's travels back to Sutter's Fort, two more
children died. En route down the mountains the first relief party met the
second relief party coming the opposite way and the Reed family was
reunited after five months.
On March 1st the second
relief party finally arrived at the lake, finding grisly evidence of
cannibalism. The next day, they arrived at Alder Creek to find that
Donners had also resorted to
cannibalism. On March 3rd, Reed left the camp with 17 of
the starving emigrants but just two days later they are caught in another
blizzard. When it cleared, Isaac
Donner had died and most of the
refugees were too weak to travel. Reed and another rescuer, Hiram
Miller, took three of the refugees with them hoping to find food they had
stored on the way up. The rest of the pioneers stayed at what would
become known as "Starved Camp."
On March 12th the third
relief led by William Eddy and William Foster reached Starved Camp where
Mrs. Graves and her son Franklin had also died. The three bodies,
including that of Isaac
Donner, had been cannibalized. The next day, they arrived at the lake camp to find that both of their
sons had died. On March 14th they arrived at the Alder Creek
camp to find George
Donner was dying from an
infection in the hand that he had injured months before. His wife Tamzene, though in comparatively good health, refused to leave him;
sending her three little girls on without her. The relief party soon
departed with four more members of the party, leaving those who are too
weak to travel. Two rescuers, Jean-Baptiste Trudeau and Nicholas
Clark, are left behind to care for the
Donners, but soon abandon them to
catch up with the relief party.
A fourth rescue party set out in late March
but were soon stranded in a blinding snow storm for several days. On April 17th, the relief party reached the camps to find only
Louis Keseberg alive among the mutilated remains of his former companions. Keseberg was the last member of the
Donner Party
to arrive at Sutter's Fort on April 29th. It took two
months and four relief parties to rescue the entire surviving
Donner Party.
In the
Donner Party
tragedy, two-thirds of the men in the party perished, while two-thirds of
the women and children lived. Forty-one individuals died, and forty-six
survived. In the end, five had died before reaching the mountains,
thirty-five perished either at the mountain camps or trying to cross the
mountains, and one died just after reaching the valley. Many of
those who survived lost toes to frostbite.
The story of the
tragedy quickly spread across the country. Newspapers printed
letters and diaries, and accused the travelers of bad conduct,
cannibalism, and even murder. The surviving members had differing
viewpoints, biases and recollections so what actually happened was never
extremely clear. Some blamed the power hungry Lansford W. Hastings
for the tragedy, while others blamed James Reed for not heeding Clyman's
warning about the deadly route.
After the publicity, emigration to
California fell off sharply and
Hastings' cutoff was all but abandoned. Then, in January 1848, gold
was discovered in at John Sutter's Mill in Coloma and gold hungry travelers began to
rush out West once again. By late 1849 more than 100,000 people had
come to
California in search of gold near
the streams and canyons where the
Donner Party
had suffered.
Donner Lake,
named for the party, is today a popular mountain resort near Truckee,
and the Donner Camp has been designated as a National Historic Landmark. The Donner Camp has been the site of recent archeological excavations.

Recently, someone asked a question about homebound services, whether the law limits the time for direct instruction. Here's the question…
My daughter is on home bound services and the special education director insists that by law the school district is only required to provide 2 hours of services a week, regardless of what the IEP team decides.
The child currently receives 112 1/2 minutes of math, 112 1/2 minutes of language arts and 56 1/4 minutes of geography & science a week. That is nowhere near the amount of time she needs to learn the same information as her junior high school peers.
The spec ed director is wrong.
Issues of homebound are determined in part by state law and state regs, if any, on the subject. IDEA 2004 and the federal regs provide no guidance on this issue.
However the IEP controls the services, regardless of where they are delivered – at home or in the public school.
In your discussion with the special ed director, did you use our "Columbo / Ms. Manners" strategy, ask lots of 5 W's+H+E questions, and politely ask for a copy of the law that limits the time for services delivered in the home?
When the special ed director failed to provide a copy of the law, did you follow up with a very nice letter reiterating what she said and repeating your request for the law? Remember, if it's not in writing, it was never said.
I had a case several years ago where, because of unique issues, the child was homebound. A private evaluator recommended that the child's homebound services increase from 3 hours a day to 4 hours a day. While the school system initially balked, after the evaluator met with the staff the school then shifted its position and, at last report, was providing the child with 4 hours of homebound services a day. Why – because this is what the child required in order to receive FAPE, i.e., a free appropriate public education.
Shifting – it sounds like you need to learn how to present problems in a way that will motivate the decision-maker to want to right the wrong, instead of getting defensive and drawing their wagons in a circle.
Start by reading our article about the "Letter to the Stranger."
When you write a letter to document an event or make a request, you need to focus on both the content and on its visual appearance (readability). Use lots of carrier returns to separate paragraphs for easier reading.
I also suggest that you read a book by attorney Gerry Spence about oral persuasion entitled "How to Argue and Win Every Time." Just go to Amazon and enter Gerry Spence in their search box.
It is not about arguing. That's just the catchy title used by the publisher. Gerry Spence describes how to present problems so people in power do not feel defensive or attacked but see the problems through your eyes and want to help. He is about the best trial lawyer alive today.
Good luck,

Beretta by hintoncoleWatch
©2013-2016 hintoncole
Last upload for tonight I swear
That and the non-tapered dustcover (as far as I can tell) imply that it's an M9, not a 92etc.
An M9 is a milspec 92FS.
Basically yes, but the frames aren't identical (different shape of dust cover and grip) and the 92FS-marked pistol is made in Italy while the M9-marked pistol is made in the US. They are different, but only to the extent of nit-picking. The only reason I brought it up is because, of course, everyone knows Beretta is an Italian company and I half expect some people to cry out that this is fake because it's marked US-made.
Oh and the factory sights are different too.

Touch probe for measuring / digitizing
by mpatoulachik, published
Thing Info
I moved! All the files are now here:
This is a sensor probe inspired by Bertho's work as well as other people's work, old patents and some original ideas.
It is used to measure and digitize / scan objects by detecting when and where the probe touches the object.
You will have to print 3 parts (could be made with a cnc mill or a lathe as well) and make 2 pcb plates. (could be done by hand if you are good at it).
It requires no soldering on the steel balls (it can be difficult)
This one is made to be used in a hobby CNC mill (43mm collet mount) but the concept can easily be adapted to any kind of CNC machine (3d printers, mounted in the spindle, measuring rig...)
The electrical contact is cut as soon as the probe touches something from any direction.
Here is how it works:
-The lower PCB hold the balls in place
-The upper PCB presses the balls and makes sure they go nowhere,
-The probe holder has 3 steel pins that rests each on a pair of steel balls. That way there is only one position where the 3 pins touches the steel balls.
-The balls form a loop that is electrically closed only in the situation above
This means that the circuit is opened as soon as the probe is moved in any direction, even the slightest distance. It also means that the circuit is closed as soon as the probe is not touching anything.
From what I can see you can reach a precision of 20 microns (0,02mm) which is the most accurate my CNC is. You might get even better accuracy with yours!
I use it with my Profiler CNC and Galaad to run it, Mach3 supports it as well.
It gives quite good results scanning at 0,1mm resolution (plunge probing).
-Print the parts from the STL files
-Cut 3x 3mm drill bits to use the shanks as contact pins (length 13mm)
-Make the PCBs (I milled mine, but etching would be fine as well).
-Find some springs
-Find 6x 4mm steel balls (I got mine from Conrad Electronic)
-Solder two wires on the PCB (in the "C" areas is easier)
-Connect to your CNC input
-Enjoy !
-To adjust how vertical the probe is, slightly unlock the 3 nuts on top and turn the 3 screws until you get the right position. Then tighten the nuts again.
I use an old 3,2mm mill bit as stylus, it works quite well.
This design requires no soldering on the steel balls.
The parts are printed but can be done with conventional machining tools (lathe, drill press).
In the Zip file you will find all my source files (Solidworks) and also the Galaad files I used to mill the PCBs (best file is "PCB Both")
Some parts reprenseted as small tubes are actually the springs.

I made one and I like it.
There is one mistake in your pcb1.dxf - file. One of the three drill-holes for the screws is misplaced.
Found it after milling, fixed it, milled again and now the probe is probing fantastic ;-)
Fixed now.
The files are now at http://www.youmagine.com/designs/touch-probe-for-measuring-and-digitizing
Thanks for the feedback!
Can you explain the PCB drawings? Am I correct to assume that the solid black lines are milled completely through whereas the light grey lines are isolation routing on the copper?
Yes, the thick lines are the outline (cut through) and the thinner ones are isolation routing. I did everything with a 1,2mm mill.
The tracks around the holes are there to isolate the screws from the PCB. The two open circles are supposed to create half-islands to make soldering if the wires easier (retains lead from spreading and limits heat transfer)
That is clever to print the whole thing!

We have been selling Mesquite Honey for a long time, and lots of it. Until this year, our supply has come from the Sonoran desert of Northern Mexico. Had it not been for the bandits that stole our last few loads (seriously!) our 2013 supply would have lasted until the 2014 crop. This dramatic turn of events drove us to the arid deserts of Argentina—the third largest exporter of honey in the world (after China and the U.S.). What we found there was another high quality bee product that will keep Trader Joe's Mostly Mesquite Honey flowing, come bandits or high water. (Rain and floods can threaten honey production, too.) But, why call it "Mostly" Mesquite? One must understand how honey is made...
Three weeks after birth, worker bees emerge from the hive to forage for flower nectar. With natural GPS, they locate nectar-filled blossoms up to three miles away and use their long tongues to extract the sugary liquid, which is then stored in each bee's "honey stomach" until they return to the hive and regurgitate it into the honey comb. Inside the warm hive, the water in the nectar evaporates, leaving behind a viscous and very sweet substance.
"Mostly" mesquite trees surround our Argentinean bees. The (almost) exclusive use of nectar from one kind of flower yields a monofloral honey with very distinct characteristics. Ours is uniquely smooth, viscous, and sweet with a very subtle smokiness. It perfect for sweetening beverages, or as a substitute for sugar in baked goods. Spread it on toast or crackers, or incorporate it into meat marinades and salad dressings for a sweet balance to tangy vinegars. And, why not give the kids a treat and make their PB&J and PB&H!
Although it takes more than 5,000 individual flower-visits for bees to produce a single teaspoon of honey, it shouldn't take you more than a single Joe's-visit to procure your $5.99, 24-ounce bottle of Mostly Mesquite Honey from Argentina. Bee impressed!

That's the article I was responding to/agreeing with, hence why I said:
And it doesn't really matter what he's trying to emulate if it doesn't work on a cinematic level.
Last edited by Bourne101; 10-17-2012 at 06:10 PM..
Incidentally the dutch angle technique can be seen most prominently in the Adam West Batman tv series.
It's very cartoonish.
Overall, I think it's a silly jab at a film that you could easily criticize, much like the Dark Knight Rises. They're both riddled with problems. It's no secret and anybody denying that is blinded by their enormous film boner. There's plenty of reasonable arguments to be made, but complaining about Dutch angles in the Avengers reminds me of the Emperor claiming there's too many notes in Mozart's musical.
If we go by the notion that Dutch angles don't work on a cinematic level, then we might as well conclude that Terry Gilliam is an amateur since his everyone of his films have Dutch angles. Or how about that Sam Raimi? But I suspect nobody would say that. Instead, they'd find an artistic reason for their existence in his films or some other acclaimed director's works. But when it comes to Joss Whedon, then it's different... he's just a TV guy masquerading as a director, or he's trying to show off his production values, how dare he!
If people had a problem with Dutch angles, I'm shocked nobody complained about it with Thor.
I also was complaining about more than just the angles. Some of the action is quite poorly shot and edited. It reminded me a bit of the issues I had with some of the the action/fight scenes in Nolan's Batman movies (more specifically Batman Begins).

When does Pfister bring up dutch angles? Here is what he said in the article:
Sniveling this far after the fact is very unbecoming.
Anyway, while I may have mildly insulted the Marvel films, your post is a thinly-veiled insult directed towards me and other people you like to dismiss as "Marvel haters." In case you didn't know, it's against the rules to describe fellow schmoes as "envious morons" and you should learn how to have a discussion like an adult if you want to continue posting here.
Anyone that states that Marvel has delivered no artistic vision dismisses themselves. That's not an insult, that's a fact. A fledgling movie studio that introduces and then links characters with the depth and pizzazz that Marvel has achieved and then brings them together in one grand master plan has displayed maybe the grandest vision of all-time. That last thing any of their films could be called is soulless. For adventure based films, they pack genuine emotion and heart. Soulless films die a slow death at the box office and Marvel films draw praise and great reaction simply because they are soulful as well as fun.
I expect their "phase two" efforts to continue to build upon that and deliver even more depth with their humor and fun. I feel sorry for people that look to nitpick rather than enjoy a thrilling yet intelligent ride.

Agreed. I may not be as educated as some on the field of cinematography, but nothing in the Avengers stuck out as awkward or odd. In fact, it felt rather restrained. I also highly disagree that the editing and execution of the action wasn't up to snuff. The action was very well staged. I never had a problem seeing or understanding what was going on. All the action made sense in the time and space it was happening in....imo.
The Marvel film's aren't soulless at all. Artistically daring? No, I'll give you that. Are they well thought out and executed sci-fi/fantasy/action films? Hell yes they are. I think most of the phase one films have done a fantastic job of introducing these characters and this universe to film. Do they flip the genre on it's ear? No, and a good comic book film doesn't automatically need to do that to be good. A good comic book film SHOULDN'T be expected to either imo. It's kinda unfair that people automatically dismiss a superhero film as inferior if it isn't a Nolan Batman film.
I think some of them are really entertaining, particularly Iron Man and The Avengers, but they're all lacking in depth and visual ingenuity. The cinematography is often bland and there's nothing creative in the mise-en-scene. They're all very matter of fact and there's nothing going on underneath the surface of the films. I do own Iron Man 1&2, and The Avengers on Bluray and I like the films a lot more than posts like these may imply, I'm just disappointed with the issues I've listed here. Bland cinematography and lack of depth are not nitpicks.
I say soulless because none of the directors are allowed to leave a personal touch on the films. They are directors-for-hire that aren't given creative freedom to make each film stand on their own. What I think is really neat about comic books is that each artist can employ their own unique style with a character and still retain continuity. It keeps things fresh and is one of the reasons these characters have remained relevant for decades, but the Marvel films haven't taken that approach yet; everything is the same. I'm hoping we'll see more risk taking with the fringe characters like Antman and Guardians of the Galaxy.
On one of the extras from the BR, they were talking about how there were multiple sets that were actual locations and the DP was complaining because he was having a hard time with shot selection because he felt that essentially anywhere he put the camera, it looked really good. Given that the comments were recorded prior to Pfister's criticism, it seems to pretty much trump the assumption that it was all about showing off and not making selective shot choices.
While I don't think that makes criticisms about the shot selection less valid, I think theorizing as to why the shots were made, especially with something as condescending as trying to show off sets, is pretty far beyond weak. Someone who saw The Dark Knight Rises and didn't like the cinematography could essentially say the same thing, especially because it cost more to make and because most of the spectacle in Avengers was CGI (i.e., it didn't matter where the camera was because they were going to add in awe later…).
It's just seems lame to presume shots were done only for the sake of showing off the expensive sets, and I think really doesn't make any sense even if it were accurate. It's actually quite ridiculous given that film is a collaborative effort and each part is meant to accentuate the next. Wouldn't a DP who didn't show off sets be as equally cited for a foul?
It almost seems too goofy to actually be coming from someone like Pfister that you'd have to wonder what the full context of the quote was and want to hear him elaborate a bit further because it seems like that statement as face value doesn't make much sense. Based on it alone, it seems that Pfister is saying photography is more important than all the art, costume, set design, the location scout and so forth, because it's up to the cinematographer alone to decide what's going to best convey the story.
He says he doesn't get it, but sounds like he doesn't get that Nolan put a focus on cinematography and Whedon put focus elsewhere. I mean, to me it's like criticizing the casting director in DKR because having well known TV actors in bit parts didn't really help the story, it was just showing off the production team's connections. Weak.

I tend to prefer shallow focus shots that have a soft background so that the subject pops out more. Pfister must prefer this technique as well because a ton of shots in the Batman trilogy have a soft background that appears blurry.
Of course then you have Akira Kurosawa who preferred telephoto lenses, which allowed him to shoot from far away to enhance depth, yet keep much of the shot completely in focus. Still, the background serves as context, and is not meant to distract from the actor, which is almost always the main subject of a shot... unless you're Terrence Malick.
Lawrence of Arabia is an example of a film that is enhanced by an emphasis on the locations and environments. Some of the greatest moments in that film are shots that dwarf the actor in favor of highlighting the vastness of the desert around him. These shots are consistent with the themes of the film. I don't think the same type of thing is going on in the Avengers. There's nothing in there to match to iconic shot of Omar Sharif's character appearing out of a mirage on the horizon. Most of the Avengers comprised of New York City and generic lab environments, although I thought the aircraft carrier/hovercraft thing was pretty cool!
I think it's an issue of the cinematography serving the story. Yes film is a collaborative effort, but they are all small pieces of a puzzle that have to fit together to make something cohesive. Every element of a film has to be well done or it will pull a viewer out of the movie. The foley artist is a very important part of the crew but if sound of footsteps are completely overpowering the soundtrack, something is wrong, unless it somehow enhances the mood that the director is going for. If the main character is awaiting bad news from somebody across the hall, and all he hears are the footsteps echoing off the walls, that would be a good use of creative sound mixing; but there has to be a purpose to it. I think Wally is arguing that the shot selection in the Avengers did more to distract than enhance.
You also mentioned that they added the "awe" in after the fact. I know what you meant, but I personally didn't see a lot of awe. It didn't look like the $225 million movie that it was. Maybe a lot of that was just cast pay, but I honestly thought some of the pre-Avengers movies were more visually interesting.

David Lynch once commented on saving money with sets by just not showing them, also about liking doing TV because he could cut corners in the same arena via aspect ratio.
The thing is that Pfister wasn't targeting the depth of field, he was targeting camera position. He was pointing at the angles. And the Avenger's DP did say specifically that the sets were already mostly in place and his biggest problem was that there were too many shots to choose from. To me, all of these things scream out that it wasn't just about showing off the sets. There was no reason for the Avenger's guy to choose a shot solely for the sake of showing off the background, by this account. Maybe he just isn't that good or Pfister's style, but I think it has more to do with Whedon's vision vs. Nolans (touch on that more in my response below).
As I theorized earlier, I think there's a bigger conversation Pfister wants to have about this and that the quote on it's own might not be a big enough outlet for him to give his complete critique. It seems to be mostly used as eFuel to relaunch to Dark Knight vs. Avengers tirade and I'm not sure we need to be jumping on every angle of criticism that comes out, especially in the realm of having retroactive criticisms that might not make sense in their short form context.
Well, you know I mean. The movie was far more fx heavy than Dark Knight, or at least it looked that way. Aside from establishing shots, I don't know how often people paid attention to the scenery. Whether or not you felt the fx were awe inspiring or not, clearly this wasn't a Terrence Malick flick where attention is being called to the scenery. Even establishing shots were cut fairly short. I mean, about the "awe", you know… the idea that we see Banner transforming into the Hulk and are thinking, "Wow, look at all those cool pipes!" I'm not seeing any shots in the film where focus is being called to "expensive sets."
I think Avengers was shot the way it was shot because it was meant to look more cartoonish, whereas The Dark Knight was meant to look more realistic. That also goes along with the shallow/deep focus thing Davey brought up, assuming there wasn't any thought of just having Hulk in front a three-tone geometric patterned background a la 60-s era Batman or the Creepshow film.
About the cuts and editing, I agree thinking mainly of the scene in the aircraft carrier fortress thing just before Loki attacks. There also seemed to be some awkwardness in the shot compositions between cuts, the way I remember it. My thing is, that none of that had anything to do with expensive backgrounds.
I guess it's clear I've grown to be passionate about these films. So, when someone takes what I deem as an unfair swipe at them I tend to fire hot. Think of it as if someone takes a shot at your mother, analytical responses become a bit more passionate.
Last thought about Pfister's comments, to me it's like giving press to a losing low level assistant football coach after he sees another team win the Super Bowl and whines about how they did it.
Your analysis of Pfister's quote seems a bit bizarre to me because it basically suggests that there is some validity to the idea that The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers were in competition with one another, which I don't agree with. I just can't accept the idea that a DP like Pfister would act so childish, but I've been wrong before, so I guess there is a possibility. Even if he is acting like a bitch though, that's just one man whining. His comments don't lend any credibility to the idea that the main players behind the two aforementioned films were trying to out do each other. There was nothing to be won. Warner Bros and Nolan didn't have anything to prove to anyone after their success with the two previous batman films and Marvel's Avengers was about successfully melding multiple superhero mythologies into one film, not being superior to the Batman films.
We mostly have the fans to thank for these shitty arguments with zero plausibility regarding which comic book studio produces better movies. Seriously, who the fuck cares? I'm more of a Batman fan, but that doesn't mean I want to see Marvel crash and burn so I can claim that The Dark Knight Trilogy is superior to their films. I just don't care. I have my cup of tea and so doesn't everyone else. I'm not going to participate in an argument that is dumber than a high school football rivalry.
That said, maybe they were competitive on a very basic financial level with one another, which is not something that is exclusive to DC and Marvel. However, I really doubt that Nolan, Warner Bros, Marvel, and DC really cared about who produced the better film between them. I think they cared about the quality of their individual films, but I don't think they cared how their films would measure up to each other in terms of quality.
If only Tyler Durden had said, "You are not the movies you watch." there might be less of what you're talking about going on.
On another note, it should be Mr. Pfister to us.
Branagh was an inspired choice, and the stuff on Asgard was really good, but on Earth... not as interesting. I find it hard to believe that Kenneth Branagh wanted a snarky Kat Dennings making pop culture references throughout the film. The scene with Hawkeye really took me out of the film. I have never seen a more obvious reshoot in my life. They shot that entire fight scene, then brought back in Renner when he was cast as Hawkeye to force a sloppy connection to the upcoming Avengers films. The editing was simply not convincing.
It's stuff like that that annoy me, Marvel is afraid to just let these movies stand on their own, they all have to be obvious products that simply exist to get you to pay money for the next inevitable film. I'm surprised the credits don't end with something like "The Avengers will return in Octothanos!" It's a shame because a lot of the films have great moments sprinkled throughout them.
Like I said earlier, posts like these imply that I dislike the films more than I do, I've enjoyed each of them to an extent so far. I just think they have the potential to be even greater, I like the characters and I'm excited that they're finally getting big budget films made about them, but I think they deserve better films, and can achieve that with some more risk-taking.

Tropical Storm Wukong left six people dead and two missing as it cut through the central Philippines, following devastating Typhoon Bopha that killed hundreds earlier this month, officials said yesterday.
The toll from the latest storm was relatively low as the public, alarmed by the huge number of fatalities left by Bopha, were quick to take precautionary measures, civil defence chief Benito Ramos told AFP.
Three people were killed when a tree fell on their home in the central island of Samar while three others were washed away by overflowing rivers, he said.
The civil defence office earlier said five were confirmed dead and three missing but this was adjusted after one body was recovered, said Ramos.

ABSTRACT: The position of the transmit antenna is analyzed and evaluated according to the measurement data in our developed reverberation chamber. The calibration parameters of the reverberation chamber are also evaluated for different working volumes. The key parameters such as the average normalized electric field and the receive antenna calibration factor are analyzed in detail. It is indicated that the definition of the working volume and the different position of the transmit antenna has a little influence on the test reproducibility of calibrations.

On my continuing mission to take apart HiTechnic sensors and show you guys their guts, I present to you: The Gyro. The little yellow/gold component on the right of the PCB is the actual gyro chip, the rest of the components most likely to deal with power conditioning. There's not a whole lot to tell about this board since there's not a lot to it. The other side of this board is completely bare apart from some writing, a couple of vias and the connector, of course.

Definition of Dutch interior in English:
A painting of the interior of a Dutch house in a style characteristic of the work of 17th-century genre painters.
Example sentences
- Though many people are familiar with the notion that he used a camera obscura to capture 'photographic' effects in his Dutch interiors and cityscapes, few know exactly what the implement is.
- Both might be found in Dutch interiors, hung amongst the archetypal 17th-century ebonized frames.
- Attached to the outside of the gallery is a curtain-rod which looks pointless because Metsu painted out a curtain drawn back to reveal a picture, surprising in a Dutch interior, of revelling nudes.

I thought he would be flipping the screen off.
I just thought he was actually flipping us off in sprite
It's funny how - since then he's become a more prominent character
The title just completes this scene.

The Big Four by tugaMaggieWatch
©2013-2016 tugaMaggie
I'm a little starstruck… The big four, all in one place.
Oh dear, I have SO much stuff to post here (srsly, I might as well just stop posting art here and move on completely to tumblr, but I don't have the heart to do that djghsdjkghs)
So lately I've been obsessed with the idea of this massive crossover between all of these movies (I've come to call it 'Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons', or 'The Big Four' for short djghsdjkg), because gfdi, I'd love to see these guys having epic adventures and such abloobloo
So, this was an idea from tumblr user theoncerest, who suggested drawing them in the style of these concepts by Perry Maple, and I just loved it, and I thought it would be a good painting exercise. I actually surprised myself by doing all this in one single day (I usually draw something, leave it in my works in progress folder and finish it days or weeks later ooops)
Anyway, hope you like it!
The designs in the background are from here
Aaaand if you want to share it on tumblr, please do it from this post
Laaav itt<3
This is amazing!
Hi Maggie! I would love to re-blog this from your tumblr but the link has changed since you changed your tumblr name and I can't seem to find the original post on your blog :S I don't suppose you have a new link for me do you? *puppy dog eyes*
Hi there! I already changed the link. ;v;
Really cool!
Oh this is beyond awesome!
Oh my gos thats awesome!
love love love
can totaly see it
work nice but you can do better then this work
XD So are you the one who started the whole name? I've just come across what "The Big Four" is and am completly IN LOVE. Beautiful artwork! *goes to check out your gallery*
I love this, great work!
idk, but i think "rise of the brave golden dragons" would be cool^^'
(golden because of Rapunzel's hair). xD Idk just a thought. This is REALLLY EPIC btw!
(golden because of Rapunzel's hair). xD Idk just a thought. This is REALLLY EPIC btw!
So cool!
This looks amazing, what did you use to color it? It looks a lot like the original style
I drew and painted this in Photoshop. It was really a matter of playing around with the brush strokes and the brush settings. I'd never painted like this before, but it was a lot of fun. :3 Thank you!
Would look pretty nice if carved on the side of a mountain
Love it!
"Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons." I like it. I might steal it someday. Awesome art.
So niceeee!!!
They're so hot.

KUALA LUMPUR: The National Sports Council (NSC) have clarified that there was no unnecessary delay in awarding national hockey coach K. Dharmaraj his contract.
NSC director-general Datuk Zolkples Embong said on Friday that a contract was offered to Dharmaraj last month but he did not accept it.
"Then the MHC (Malaysian Hockey Confederation) made a request for additional funding and we had to take time to sort it out. The salary discussions are between the MHC and the coach. We are not the main paymasters. The MHC are expected to top up whatever sum they agree on after we have confirmed what we can offer," he explained.
Under the NSC's coaches scheme the pay scale is between RM4,500 and RM10,000.
"The NSC have a scheme for coaches and whatever we offer is based on that structure. I do not know what was promised to Dharmaraj but a final decision on his contract was only made after the joint consultative committee meeting in March. There was no delay on our part as we needed time to look at the new request made by the MHC," he explained.
Dharmaraj had almost quit on Wednesday, claiming he had not received his salary for the last four months and no contract was offered to him. He said the only money he received was the RM4,000 from the MHC as an "allowance".
The issue was resolved on Thursday with the MHC agreeing to his terms and confirming that all monies would be paid soon. Dharmaraj signed the contract with the NSC on Friday morning.
Zolkples chided Dharamaraj for missing the morning training on Thursday.
"I understand that he did not attend the training on Thursday morning. This is not good considering that the team have an important assignment in two weeks' time. Now that the matter has been settled I hope he will focus on the job and the training sessions are not interupted," he added.
The Malaysians are preparing for the World Cup which will take place in The Hague, Holland, from May 31-June 15.

Undone: Book Excerpt 1
A month or so later, Bathsheba sends a terse two-word statement: "I'm pregnant."
Hum. That wasn't what the king expected from their single rendezvous.
I'm pregnant. With those words, David must work fast. In quick order, he sends word to his commander, Joab, on the field, "Bring me Uriah." David makes several attempts to get Uriah to return to his wife. It's a show to legitimize the pregnancy. But Uriah refuses to go back home. He's a faithful warrior. "How could I?" Uriah protests. "How could I go home when the ark of God is on the battlefield?"
Okay. So that plan didn't work. But now the clock is really ticking for David, and if he doesn't take care of this little problem soon, his whole image could crumble. So David sends a letter to the front lines to Joab (a letter carried by Uriah, if you can imagine that) telling Joab to make sure Uriah is in the heaviest fighting, then pull back the troops so that (I'm quoting here) "he may be struck down and die."
Joab complies. Uriah is killed. The widow Bathsheba mourns for her dead husband, and then the king sends for her, and she becomes his fourth wife.
End of story.
At least, it could have been the end. Hey, if this was only David's story to tell that might have been the end of it. His cover-up might have held. He could have congratulated himself on being a good guy, kindly taking in a widow without means. Kind of like the rich young ruler, we could have read the story and just felt sad that David wasn't the king that he might have been. Another life not lived to the full potential.
But David's story, it turns out, wasn't the only story going on here. The prophet Samuel keeps unwinding a bigger story. Because "The thing David had done displeased the Lord." See, if this were only David's story to write, there wouldn't have been any problem. If our stories are ours alone, then we don't need to wrestle with conflict between our ideals and our actions. If your story is yours alone, then go ahead—believe your own hype. Immerse yourself in your PR spin. Keep on making those rationalizations. It's your own story, your own desires, your own ambitions—and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise! That's what our culture tells us, doesn't it?
David could have continued his secret life—and so could we. But it comes with the cost of loneliness.
