Just wondered of the pros/cons of springs on a touring saddle?
They look cool!
Here is what Sheldon Brown says.
I just wonder if the springs are designed for a 150 lb rider.
The brooks saddle springs are pretty stiff, fine for clyde..
I ride a B17 and my wife rides the flyer. She is 140lbs give or take and doen't really notice the springs. She also is not very observant so who knows. Myself at 210 dont miss the springs. Now like Sheldon Brown says, my bars are below my seat and she rides more upright so thats probably why I dont miss the springs. I decided no springs purely on a looks.

Things Dealing With SpringsWritten on June 24, 2002 Hot Rod Leaf Spring Insight From Posies.
How much thought do you actually give to the leaf springs in your hot rod--that is, if your car even has them to begin with. Those who have their rods built probably wouldn't think twice about the springs, unless for some reason those springs were not performing up to par. But then that puts you back to square one and having to know the ins and outs of spring basics. That's where POSIES comes into the picture, as they've been working with hot rod leaf applications for years, and know a thing or two about springs.
For the most part, most people may take for granted what exactly a spring does. Basically, leafs locate the axle they are suspending, be it an I-beam or even a rearend. Secondly, the springs obviously support the weight of the vehicle, and in doing so provide the ride height. Lastly (in conjunction with shock absorbers, tires, etc.), they control the ride quality of the vehicle. Along with the performance aspects, they provide adequate stability and resistance to side sway and rollover, and resist cornering effects in turns.
Additionally, proper leaf springs are designed to transfer forces from braking and driving between frame and axle, as well as resist wrap-up caused by drive and brake torque, and, on I-beam type applications, maintain proper caster and camber.
Hopefully it's common knowledge that there's more than one spring for the various Ford I-beam/tube axle applications. First off, there are different OE lengths for Model T, Model A, '32, '33-34, '35-40, '41-48. That's a lot of different spring lengths to have to remember, but fortunately, POSIES has grouped everything together into two separate designations: '28-34 (for which they offer four different applications) and '35-48 (with eight applications). Okay, so that makes it a little easier, but just knowing what year chassis you have doesn't automatically tell you what spring you need.
Consider the type of axle you have--stock or aftermarket--and take measurements from perch centerlines, and that will narrow everything down for you. For the earlier years, most stock axles will measure out in the neighborhood of 36 inches, while different aftermarket axles will vary between 36 1/2 and 34 1/2 inches. Now, because of their makeup (spring in front), later axles measure differently due to various wishbone perch widths, from 36 1/2 all the way to 42 1/2 inches. Another thing you have to take into consideration is the use of standard or reversed-eye springs--do you have enough travel for lower, reversed-eye leafs or not? (You will need to factor in the actual drop of your axle, the weight of your engine, etc.)
On top of the tons of applications POSIES offers in transverse leafs, they also have their new Ellipta Slide Kit, a quarter-elliptic spring set perfect for old-timey hot rods with that dirt-track flair. The kit consists of a pair of rolled and tapered springs with Super Slide buttons, adjustable 4-inch mounting stubs, shackles, and hardware. The Ellipta Slide can be utilized for rearend use, as well.
Once you get everything all figured out, the knowledgeable staff at POSIES will keep you steered in the right direction with the proper spring for your application, and once you've got it mounted correctly in your car, look forward to a smoother ride from there on out. POSIES was grateful enough to supply us with photos and illustrations dealing with various spring options, measurements, and tips that should help you figure out the right application for your situation. For more information, don't hesitate to give POSIES a call.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
For each application, Posies offers OEM-type springs with stock eyes (left); lowered springs with reversed eyes (center); and super-low springs, also with reversed eyes (right).A trademark of POSIES springs, the low-friction, moly-nylon buttons (sliders) aid in the performance by allowing the individual leafs to slide easier during compression and rebound.Here's a handy diagram, courtesy of Posies, that should help you understand how certain measurements are taken. Below you will find descriptions on exactly how to measure for a spring.To measure for a spring using your axle, measure between the centerlines of the spring perch bosses. Take that measurement and deduct 5 inches, and you will have the required length for a Posies spring.To measure for a spring using the perches, measure between the centerlines of spring perches. Take that measurement and deduct 3 inches, and you will have the required length for a POSIES spring.Measuring for '35-48 springs is the same as measuring from perches. Although it must be noted that if the wishbone is split, the perch ends have to be heated and bent so that the perches are at the proper angle (perpendicular to the spring, parallel to the axle).

Walter Zimmerman of Timpson, as- sisted by Kev. WhUeliurst, our local Meth- odist preacher. The sensation Is due to the plain language and defiant manner used by the preacher in denouncing the many terms of sjn. His style may well be compared to that or Sam Jones in EO far as words are concerned. He uses many of the very same kind of tt-ords and sentences. After the services last during which he lambasted men ana women, be- fore a large mixed congregation, in severe terms for forms of sin that arc seldom re- ferred to In the pulpit, he and his wife re- tired at Mr. Peevey's, near rhe church. Not long after tlieir room was stoned or brick- battcfl antl pelted wilh a number ot eggs.

That party has had some- what of a hard time, aa hard times are considered by the world generally. Unlike the great governor of our state, it was not born in. a storm, but came in on the breeze which presaged tho storm. It iias been the butt of ridicule." Its members have been scoffed at. Its tenets have been laughed at, signed at, and thtin profoundly thought- over. But it has the honor cO being respected, not tb say feared, by the dominant party In the state, and its alli- ance has sought by both parties, ld as aro Itfi drcnmsj and they are as. wild as the. veriest nightmare, the demo- rats who have contrplled national af- fairs have liearkfaned to ihtm and adopted many of t.hein. Crude as .are their Ideas, thit great-old the republi- can party; haa sought .-an alliance as !far as national affaire are concerned. So the populist '-whatever .may have been its vagaries! will have the consolation, in Texas at least, of having zncdo the tl parties knuckle io it. The democratic party has gone to its knees for those votes which had either gone or promised to go to Uie populist party. The republi- cans have done less In the way of degrada- tion. Ii. has not c( needed a principle, as have the but they have offered to trade in the matter of offices with those whom In other states they .declare to be the greatest enemies to a republican form government. The democrats at Chicago announced doctrine and voted for principles that were thoroughly antagonistic to every democrat- ic Idea. They did It to court the votes of this .large, watery-jointed and idiotic giant. The republicans, with much ado, denounced this Jabberwock, and forthwith trade with it for votes In Texas and elsewhere. Both, the old parties thought that the nftw parts', the Jabberwock, was mean by thlr, that they thought it to be of so much life and blood and enthusiasm :hat it was uncontrollable. Jones of Ar- kansas, Quay of Pennsylvania believed It, and they ai'o people, on word. Muybe the bone and sinew of tho now ele- ment is enthusiastic and intense. But all Uie leaders of the two parties forgot one thing, and that Is that the leaders in the new party in some time in the past be- longed to the old parties. There are demo- crats in the populist party who learned their trado from Jones. There are those in the same party who learned their bust- 'nosa from Quay. They were not success- .ful In either of tho old parties, probably because there were so many ambitious men, but they remained In them long enough to learn all the tricks of the. po- litical tradu. It is not to be supposed that even If they had suddenly experienced a change of heart and were "for the that they would forget their old habits. Surely the proceedings of the convention of the "people." whfch closed Jls labors yesterday, ought to convince the leaders of the old parties that they have a hard lot to deal with. The proceedings of the "meotln' ought to convince the old stag- ers Hn the two parties that they have gen- uine politicians to deal with. There were something in the- neighbor- hood of a thousand delegates of this new party here. They were a one-Iuea crowd. They came here to utter defiances against the world. They did It the first and sec- ond day. Yesterday afternoon tho "meet- as they are pleased to call It, ad- journed, and left its whole affairs in the hands of the men who have been, politi- cians in the ilwnourauc party. And those to whom the matter was left aro out for a trade. They have consummated It with the republicans, and huve only one more element to deal wl'.h. That is jyol-3 thj- ment. What the latter designated filtnu-ni will do remains to be soon, and until this is done no one should speak, other tlmn to say that tlic politicians of the republi- can uoriy who control are in thorough agreement with tho populist polhiclans who control, and tho proposition Is or will be miidc- to tha gold bug politician, who Is expected tn control, looking to ono thing, the overthrow of that element in ihe fllato which, under a common banner, has all the elements to be found in true re- p'ablicaniam, true democracy or true papu- racy Is loved in the state. WELL KXIflC'UTJBD. Leaders Hud u Hard Time Holdtas Themselves in lint Did It. It wao a hard hardest they have ever the populist lead- ers won and .the convention adjourned without any official declaration that Texas would have none of Bryan, A dozen times -has It appeared that the convention was getting beyond their con- trol and en each occasion it has seemed that nothing could stop the offering and adoption of a resolution that "No Watson, no Jlryan" the unanimous of Texas populism. Hut by hook and 'by crook they kept it down. Fair v.-ords to thfs, persuason on that, promises to an- other ami threats for a fourth, man have kept it down. But it.was a hard-fight. Not a smoother piece of political engineering has ever done .in Texas by .any set. of politicians. The rank and file were told day after day 'of what was. going on, but the very sus- picions aroused, by these '-warnings .were adroitly turned..into1 suspicions of those who gave them warning. 'The' most radical of the middle of the road-men were ram- pant at first to declare thenfeeives straight out when they came here. "comether" was put on them aiid-they became the most conservative ard were .made converts to the plans of the lead.ers atd aided In carrying them out without knowing 'what .they were. They didn't ask vrhoi they were. Once they were persuaded that their suspicions of the leaders were without foundation, they blindly followed their-lead again with- out stopping to see where-.'It would land them. They know they dld't want Bryan and when assumed that they would not have to take him they ask who they were going to get, didn't insist that they should have a straight populist national ticket, didn't demand that the commftte-e which to manage that matter'for them should be instructed as to who to put up. They did none of these tilings. What they did do was to go among their brother delegates with the glad tidings that Texas was still in the middle of the road and Bryan would not receive i'.ny elec- tors by the aid of 'Texas popull.sts. And the good news spread and. spread and soc-n delegates who.had stayed in the convention to see that Tezcns did so on record In the matter stayed, there to see that no such declaration was made. The little leaders didn't know much about it, but they v.-ere told what to do did it well. So the Texas1 populist f-'_-te convention, which assembled with a whoop for "No Watson, no Bryan" on tbe outside of the hall, stayed in session four long days at spake not a word on the question which evary one of the rank and file thought would be tho mainspring; of the whole convention. The floor managers were Jenkins of Brown, Harry Tracy and- Bentley of Taylor, They deserve much credit fpr the work they did. They were not the planners. They eze- ruled i he plans.

The old guard, with new recruits, will close In around her dearly beloved pop- ulism and her from any polluting touch. We may support he ac- cepts our It will not be to us n labor ot love long as democrats fail or refuse to vote for Thomas E. U. M. REEDY. Reedy was told-that his resolutions would be sent to thu platform, anj then he agreinl to a substitute for res- olutions. Friday night Chairrnar Jenkins was told on the platform that Reedy had consented to the pigeon-holing of his reso- lutions. This was said without any ap- parent attempt at concealment '.vithin plain of the repoiters' table. But they Jon't put down everything they hear, so it didn't appear In any of the daily papers yesterday. Mr. Reedy told The News-man that he never consented to a -jigeon-holing Friday nit'ht and would not Saturday had he not been assured that he was-working against the Interest, of the populist party. The effect of that assurance may be seeir in his note. Mr.- Reedy In his -resolutions represented the rank and file of Texas populist dele- gates when they came to Galveston: his note represents the rp.nk and file of Texas populist delegates when they left Galves- ton. Just how the fusion is to he brought about none but on the inside can tell, and they won't. The situation is.: The republicans stand no show of carrying Texas for McKInley without populist and sound money sup- port: the populists stand no .chance 01' electing their state ticket money democrat and republican support; the sound money democrats want-free sti- ver defea-ted advocates of free-sil- ver can bide their'time for other things: the. populists feel that they can get the sound menoy democratic vote for state officials without having to give in return, if.they stick to-it'tha't trade, but they are not BO-sure about the republican have 'no such grounds for thinking they are -going to-get it. Then the populist, leaders are working heart and.'eoul.l'or the election of ihts.state ticket: ere- aS-'hard-.-to-'seyure .the electoral ;Ergo, each' needs the other. The.'next question Is. can they deliver 'ine And tlie answer is thnt they can deliver enough make their -promise The republicans can be delivered, -because they are well; organized, and; un- derstanding their them to attain tne results.they afo'nfter. A great majority of the populists hate anything with the tag of democrat to It; that's one reason. Most of iham were desi- ocrats before they were and they had some reason for quitting thV democrats which is as potent In keeping, them Inxm voting for a demoernf as It was in making them quit the party: that's another reason. They feel aggrieved at the state free silver democrats for stealing their cam.paij.Ti tnun- der, and at the national free silver demo- crats for the same reason; that's a third i-eaEon. .They Bryan and his.fel- low democrats have not treated'them with. dignity, but more like they were1 of only small consequence, thus hurting ,their .party pride: -.vhlch constitutes a fourth reason'. And the fifth is by no means smaller than the others: They see no great chance to "get any offices by voting for Bryan, or even for Norton, and they do see a chance (which they regard in light of a certainty) of getting the state offices by giving- their votes for AlcKinley electors. Perhaps this last, reason Is a bit prema- ture, but it will be in full force and effect before the month js out. That's the situation. Only one thing can result from such a and that Is fusion. Th'.: It.iiiers kept down any resolutions for fear they would have the effect of prevent- ing the appointment of a committee.to man- age matters without instructions of the convention tying them down. Jt was the SL'ntlrnent which actuated, not the words of the resolutions. That had to be kepi un- der. Well, the committee was appointed to manage the Texas campaign, and the mem- bers of it are KOlng in to select the stata ticket. The committee is headed by Harry Tracy.

The housing situation for people with a learning disability has come a long way.
Less than 50 years ago people were locked away and kept a secret from the rest of society. Today it is generally expected that people with a learning disability should have choice and control over where they live.
Mencap commissioned research to find out what sorts of housing arrangements people with a learning disability live in and how independent they are in these types of housing.
Housing report
Our housing report sets out the findings of this research and reports where people with a learning disability live in England and Wales.
It provides strong evidence that there are still too many barriers to people living independently -from the way local authorities prioritise social housing to the lack of specialist housing for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities.
The report provides startling evidence on how we believe recent reforms to the welfare system will see greater numbers of people with a learning disability losing their independence.

Stripping and Refinishing Floors: Pricing Considerations and Efficiency Tips
If you want to get into floor care, then you'll need to develop a "good eye" for what to watch out for when pricing floor care services. When it comes to stripping and refinishing VCT tile floors, there are many things to consider:
- How much finish is on the floor and baseboards. Floors that haven't been stripped for a long time may have most of the finish worn off in the main traffic lanes. Conversely, some customers continually add more coats of finish, without stripping off the old finish. In this case, you will have build-up on the floor, which may mean multiple strippings. Time is a major consideration when pricing stripping/refinishing jobs so if this is the case, be sure to build extra time into your estimate.
- What needs to be moved? If you're working on a convenience store or retail floor, you may have to move several floor displays and floor mats. If it's an office break room, you will have to move chairs and tables. If you have a lot to move, add more to your price. But if the customer is concerned about how much it will cost, reduce the price if they clear the floor for you.
- The amount of square footage being stripped/refinished. Typically, the higher the square footage, the lower the square foot price. For example, the "per square foot price" of a 10,000 sq ft job should be lower than the "per square foot price" of 1,000 sq ft job.
- Is it one open area or many small rooms? If you have 5,000 square feet in one large area, you should be able to get it done quicker than if it were broken up into several small rooms. That's because you will have to move your equipment from room to room and possibly to different floors if it's a multi-story building.
- Water and power availability. It can be difficult to get the job done efficiently if you don't have easy access to water and power. Be sure to find this out before pricing the job.
- Use the right equipment for the job. Don't use a side-by-side floor machine on a 15,000 square foot floor. And conversely, don't use an auto-scrubber on a 1,000 square foot floor. Match the machine to the floor size.
Here are some pointers to get the job done more efficiently:
- Use a splash guard on the floor machine to prevent stripping solution from splashing on walls and furniture. You don't want to spend additional time cleaning up the mess.
- Use a microfiber flat mop when applying floor finish.
- Watch for solution running under gondolas and walls and then draining back out after you've moved on from that area.
- Smaller floors can take as long as bigger ones depending on circumstances.
- To help speed up drying time, use a fan to circulate the air -- but don't point it at directly at the floor.
- Use the appropriate finish for the location and maintenance program.
Stripping and refinishing floors can be a profitable add-on service for your business, but knowing what to look for can save you a lot of time and headaches that could eat away at your hard earned profit!

North From Here
Beyond The Wall Of Sleep
Fade into a dream...
Deep into a dormant pseudo-life
Drown into night...
Pass through the gate of sleep
I see faded colours...
I see a landscape so calm...
To live a life asleep... is to master mortality
I wander between these worlds
On a quest to find a key
When life seems to be lost
And death comes to my door
I vanish into a dream
Into a place so cold, yet warm
Within my flesh
A thorn is molesting my sleep
It's teasing me...
Am I human after all ?
Faded in dream...
Beyond the wall of sleep
For the sleep of death
Is the most divine
Sandman, stab me in the back...
Lord Ego, Punish me !
Cleanse me from humanity !
Reveal the fucking Beast !
I must drown the human ignorance
Deep in the lake of fire drink the wine
Sandman, stab me in the back...
Lord Ego, Punish me !
To live with a dream... is to master mortality
the quest to find a key... Still lives!

Ok - I guess I am just venting over my family here. On one hand, I am very fortunate that both my husband and myself have family who have saved and scheduled the drive from NW Ohio to our home in SW South Dakota for the birth of our first child. My due date is tomorrow and they will be in town by this evening.
On the other hand, I am stressing out! Not only am I trying to get into "New Mommy Mode" but the "I have to play hostess mode" has kicked in as well. Though I have been told repeatedly that no one expects me to play restaurant/entertainer while they are in town, it is just my natural reation since we have always lived away from family in one state or another. The parents keep calling to ask if I am having contractions yet, and I am not. They ask if I will deliver on my due date, and I dunno...babies come of their own time do they not? They ask if they think I will deliver while they're in town.... I don't know! Again, do I have any labor pains yet? Then (especially from my mom) there is disappointment when I say no. My mom told me on the phone yeaterday, "Well, I am hoping to spend as much time with the baby as possible before we have to go at the end of the week." Though it is inadvertent...there it is; more guilt. Though my due date is tomorrow, my Dr told me that if I do not deliver by Wed we will discuss an induction date at my Wed morning appointment, but I know the induction date will be after the families are scheduled to leave if it comes to that. In that case, the parents wil not be meeting the baby untill Thanksgiving when we can get to Ohio.
This is supposed to be a happy time right? I don't want to diassapoint or stress myself out. In some way I'm a little ticked off that they planned to land in Rapid City right on my due date, stay for 5 days and expect all kinds of baby time... if they wanted to be garaunteed a baby they should have planned to come next week. I'm especially surprised by my mom who has had 4 kids! My mom is becoming a basket case because she is now worried there will be no baby-grandma time for her if I am late, and my husband's mom informed us that they are prepared to stay untill there is a baby - which not only means I'll have to hear about jealousy issues from my mom, but that after my In-Laws' time at the hotel is up, they will be transfered to my living room floor.
If I could sneeze and pop out a kid for them on cue, then I totally would. But in reality, I can't force this along. I want to be calm for myself and my baby. I don't want to induce early if I don;t have to, I want her to have all the nutritional and developmental time she needs. Most of all, I want a little comfort and understanding from them. Sorry this was so long Ladies. I guess I just needed to reach out.
Best of Wishes and Luck to all of you out there!
My little Briony Jeanne is due tomorrow!

Preservation of Relational
Characteristics: Maintenance
Strategies, Equity, and
Locus of Control
Daniel J. Canary1 Ohio University
Laura Stafford Ohio State University
Over the last decade, communication scholars have turned their attention to the study of how people sustain their mature, personal relationships (e.g., Ayres, 1983; Dindia & Baxter, 1987). Personal relationships refer to involvements with others that cannot be replaced; to replace the specific person means changing the nature of the relationship ( Duck, Lock, McCall, Fitzpatrick, & Cayne, 1984). Social relationships, on the other hand, refer to those based on stereotypic knowledge of the other person (see also Miller, 1978). Those in social involvements can be replaced without jeopardizing the nature of the relationship (see also Duck et al., 1984). The study of relational maintenance is definitionally anchored to the study of close, personal relationships.
Communication researchers have specifically focused on interaction-based approaches or strategies people use to maintain their personal relationships (see Ayres, 1983; Baxter & Dindia, 1990; Bell, Daly, & Gonzalez, 1987; Dindia & Baxter, 1987; Shea & Pearson, 1986). These research efforts share little conceptual or operational territory, however. For example, Ayres ( 1983) and Shea and Pearson ( 1986) identified relational maintenance as efforts to sustain the status quo. Baxter and Dindia ( 1990; cf., Dindia & Baxter, 1987) conceptualize maintenance as responses to dialectical tensions common to personal involvements (e.g., autonomy needs vs. interdependence needs). Finally, Bell et al. ( 1987) link maintenance to affinity seeking, where the communicator sustains his/her relationship by increasing the partner's affinity.____________________

Look for a back and forth battle between a surprisingly strong Kent State defense and ISU's offense. Kent State sent 3 defenders to the NFL in this springs draft and expect to continue to be strong defensively.
I posted a full write up of my assessment of the matchups and what will happen when ISU has the ball on my blog. I also recently added the breakdowns on ISU offensive line starters and 2 deeps. For the Kent State analysis I will add special teams this weekend followed by ISU defense vs. Kent State offense.
Blog Link
"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject" - Winston Churchill
Update: Kent State coach on the radio today describe Jack Williams their cornerback as better and more talented than Young who graduated last spring and was picked in the third round by the saints. I updated my assesment. Should be a fun match up to watch with Blythe
I really think that Blythe is going to have an all-american type season and if their db is as good as their coach says, this will be a good measuring stick.
Who knows, the new coaching staff may just run a play or two especially for him. Novel idea for arguably the most talented receiver we've had in a decade.
I also heard that Scales got a little dinged in practice. Anyone hear anything?
A three legged dog walks into a bar and says, "I'm lookin' for the man who shot my paw."
That could explain why they didn't have scales down as a starter in that last update from the ISU Daily!
The middle linebacker is Derek Burrell, a 5-11 186 lb. junior.
If that's the case, I recommend pounding the ball up the middle all night.
Originally Posted by lennon3

First, the ISU Daily is about as accurate as the weathermen on the news. Second, they hire untrained monkeys to "research" and "interview" for that scrap paper.
"Seven minutes to glory."
I think we can move the ball some in the middle. It is the most powerful part of our line, but they do have decent size in the d-line. I really think the oline will be much improved in terms of capability. On plays they all are on the same page we will open holes and protect well. With youth, inexperience and lack of snaps together as a unit I think especially early in the season there will be our fair share of blown assignments. So while in principle we should be able to run, it may not be as consistent as we would like.
Special Teams breakdown is now up as well. It may be a huge swing point in the game Thursday.

That's what I'm most worried about. KSU's kicking game has sucked donkey balls the past 3 years, probably cost us Bowl bids in '04 and '06.
Never tried donkey balls myself, any balls for that matter, but it is hard to argue that as least last year it didn't keep you out of a bowl game. B'tn the kicking game and Edelman getting dinged up last year they probably kept you from being the Mac favorite this year as well.
I think we are going to have a lot of trouble running the ball against this team. Our only real advantage may be our receiver speed. We need to get the ball to guys like Messiah, Sumrall , and Franklin in open space and see what they can do. Otherwise it may be a very long night for the offense.
First off, for the donkey balls, dont make me fire up my thread about strange things you have eaten. 2nd, I am looking forward to a clash. I hope we win but I hope its a battle. It will give our new line guys a fresh look at whats coming against them as far as talent. This may be their only chance to have a stick to measure where they are and where they need to be.

While as a fanatic I want to blow them out having to do battle throughout the game and then get a satisfying win, probably does more to develop our team for the year. That said I don't want to see a Toledo triple overtime either.
And lets not restart the strange things you have eaten, nor any donkey threads.
Anybdoy have any idea how Mack Brown, and Bob Stoops did for their first games as head coach?
Stoops went 7-5 his first year and 13-0 second year.
Brown went 9-3 each of his first two years.
In his first game Stoops Sooners beat Indianna State 49-0. Stoops started 3-0 before losing 2 in a row.
Mack Brown beat New Mexico State 66-36...Mack was 1-2 in his first three games.

In the Din of Film, an Enduring Voice
Now that anyone with a decent wireless connection can access almost any movie they want to see, old-fashioned cinephiles might fear that the concept of the curatorially minded, blue-chip film festival is obsolete. Yet, after nearly a half-century, the New York Film Festival continues to argue otherwise.
The festival's 48th edition opens next Friday and runs through Oct. 10, with screenings at Walter Reade Theater and Alice Tully Hall, on the Lincoln Center campus. Its opening-night selection is the world premiere of David Fincher's "The Social Network," reaffirming the event as a coveted platform for filmmakers and a first-look occasion for audiences curious to see films that will be making news throughout the next year.
"The beauty of the festival has always been to do away with categories," said Richard Peña, who has served as its program director for 23 years. "Art cinema, commercial cinema. Big cinema, small cinema. We show what we think is really great cinema, and that great cinema can occur in multimillion dollar productions or in unbelievably modest film shots with HD video cameras."
Mr. Fincher's much-hyped drama about cunning and betrayal behind the Ivy League origins of Facebook (with a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin) may seem to be the sort of flashy Hollywood opener that would contradict Mr. Pena's credo—and place the festival closer in spirit to the much larger and younger Tribeca Film Festival, which runs downtown each spring. But Mr. Fincher has long been a favorite of the Film Society of Lincoln Center and its programmers. "He came a year-and-a-half ago and did a retrospective of his work," Mr. Peña said. "It's a dance. They're looking for their biggest advantage. We're looking for our greatest advantage."
So the festival will harness the film's considerable buzz to boost its own profile, and Mr. Fincher gets a lofty launch for his efforts. The closing film, Clint Eastwood's "Hereafter" (starring Matt Damon), offers a finale with some traditional glitter. Again, though, Mr. Eastwood is a director the festival has loved for decades. This visit will be his fourth since 1988, and it comes on the heels of FSLC's summer retrospective of his complete filmography as a director.
The NYFF's motto has been consistent since 1963, when it was founded by Amos Vogel and Richard Roud: Auteurs 'R Us. It can get predictable. Was there really a doubt that the festival would present "Film Socialsme," the 80-year-old Jean-Luc Godard's latest (and rumored to be last) film? The French director has been onboard since the first NYFF.
Yet, at the same time, the focus has been shifting toward new generations of directors who have built substantial bodies of work. Among others included the festival's main slate of 28 films are Thailand's Apichatpong Weerasethakul, with his supernatural-themed "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives"; Olivier Assayas with his five-hour biographical drama "Carlos," with a starmaking performance by Edgar Ramirez as the notorious 1970s terrorist Carlos the Jackal; and Kelly Reichardt, whose "Wendy and Lucy" was a 2008 selection, back again with an ambitious Western, "Meek's Cutoff."
"I always like to think there's this great continuum," Mr. Peña said. "At one end is phenomenal social relevance and at the other end is extraordinary formal invention. And the best films of course meet somewhere in the middle."
Industry observers look to the festival as a certified stamp of approval, whether they're scouting for new work or striving to promote it. "The people at the Film Society have a very specific eye for film," said David Fenkel, the co-founder of the theatrical and DVD distributor Oscilloscope Laboratories. "When they show a film like 'Meek's Cutoff,' it sends a signal that this film is one of the top films of the year."
Mr. Fenkel, whose company released "Wendy and Lucy" on DVD, also was rooting for another favorite filmmaker, Sebastian Silva, whose "Old Cats" will be screened at the festival. "He's from Chile, and he's shooting a very specific kind of Chilean dramedy." He's got no [professional] actors. He has no marketing tools. Here, he gets the love and gets the platform."
The festival's engagement with resurgent national cinemas continues this year as it showcases three new films from Romania. Cristi Pulu, whose "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu" (2005) is credited with kicking off the Romanian new wave, returns with "Aurora," joining two colleagues who mark their NYFF debut: Radu Muntean, with the domestic drama "Tuesday After Christmas," and Andrei Ujica, with the three-hour docu-fiction "The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu."
"Presence in a festival like this is absolutely crucial for these films to become points of reference," said Corina Suteu, director of the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York. "To have these films presented, with all of the background of the Romanian new wave, you really are able to create momentum."
One of the festival's repeat guests was less concerned with critical appreciation than having a good time. "The New York Film Festival is just the best thing," said British director Mike Leigh, who will show his new film "Another Year." "And the audience Q&As are to die for. I love the fantastic spirit of the festival, which actually is the spirit of New York City."

I have stayed at about 200 CGs in the last 4 years, and I think this is the best CG ever. COE CGs are usually great, and this one was the best so far. Along the Cumberland River Cheatham Lake, Lock A, there is a 2 mile paved road with spaced trees, many with labels of kind, many concrete picnic tables, at least 3 boat ramps, the dam, locks, and power house, 3 playgrounds, well mowed grass verges. The sites are widely separated mostly and paved for RVs, with some large well graveled tent sites along the river bank. A second RV row is back from the river side sites but some are not real level. Bath houses very clean. Cost was $11.50/nite with America the Beautiful Senior card. The road in is narrow, windy, and some steep hills. Saw only one big A RV there.

UW defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu faces off against his friend David DeCastro, a Bellevue High grad, in Saturday's big Pac-12 game.
Playing Washington means a chance to see some old friends for Stanford offensive guard David DeCastro, a graduate of Bellevue High.
One old friend — Washington defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu — he'll see up close and personal.
The two figure to lock heads often Saturday in an interior-line matchup as enticing as any in the Pac-12 this year.
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Reed brother led detectives to bodies believed to be Arlington couple
- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary
- Your vote counts so little in today's primary election, John Oliver joked about it on 'Last Week Tonight'
- Ivar's looks to sell, lease back two venerable restaurant sites
Most Read Stories
Ta'amu, a 6-3, 333-pound senior from Rainier Beach High School, is generally considered a possible first-round NFL pick this year — ESPN.com draft expert Todd McShay rated him 16th overall this week. DeCastro, a 6-5, 310-pound fourth-year junior, was rated 26th overall by McShay this week.
"They are going to have plenty of opportunities to go against one another," said UW coach Steve Sarkisian. "It would be great if Alameda could play one of his better ballgames."
Whatever happens, Ta'amu says he'll warmly shake DeCastro's hand afterward. "That's my boy right there," he said this week.
The two got to know each other following the 2007 high-school season when they were roommates at a high school all-star game in Miami. "He's a great guy," DeCastro said of Ta'amu.
UW fans, of course, wish they'd had a chance to remain roommates. Instead, DeCastro headed to Stanford as part of Jim Harbaugh's first full recruiting class with the Cardinal. He committed early, then briefly reconsidered late before reaffirming with the Cardinal. He's always maintained that Stanford's academic tradition was the ultimate difference between the two schools.
And he's had no reason to regret the decision as he's helped lead Stanford to some of its greatest seasons. The Cardinal is currently on a 14-game winning streak that is the longest in the nation.
DeCastro has started all 32 games he has played at Stanford, and Cardinal coach David Shaw says, "I think David is playing on a level on par with any offensive lineman in college football right now. He is as good as just about any that I've been around, just his consistency as far as his physical toughness and his athletic ability, the amount of times we ask him to pull and every time you pull it's a completely different picture and he adjusts and he can get around piles and can step over guys laying on the ground and still drops his weight with an unbelievable punch on impact. He's phenomenal."
The low-key DeCastro, told of Shaw's comments, said: "That's nice. But I don't think I played that well last week, to be honest."
Shaw also applauds DeCastro's leadership skills, having asked DeCastro to take a more vocal role this season after the Stanford offensive line lost three starters off last season's team. The other returner is left tackle Jonathan Martin, also regarded as a potential first-round pick.
"It's something kind of different I've been asked to do," DeCastro said. "It's one of those things you definitely get better at. I'm still working on it every day."
Because he redshirted in 2008, DeCastro could return next season. But it's widely assumed he will leave early. Asked this week, he said he wasn't thinking about his future now, preferring to focus on this season.
And specifically this week, the Huskies and Ta'amu.
"He's a pretty big and powerful dude," DeCastro said.
Ta'amu, however, was admittedly less powerful in the first few games of the season. He was dealing with a broken hand and constant double- and triple-teams.
The hand, however, has healed, and Ta'amu says the addition of fellow 300-plus pounder Semisi Tokolahi as the starter at the other tackle spot has diverted some of the attention of opponents.
DeCastro and Stanford, however, will provide his biggest test yet. The Cardinal is as physical as any team in the conference and is averaging 181.7 rushing yards per game, while having allowed only two sacks.
"I want to get my name out there, too," Ta'amu said of the spotlight that will be on him this game. "It's a good challenge."
And just in time, Sarkisian says Ta'amu is rounding into form.
"I think he has improved as the year has gone on, and what I have come to find out about 'Meda is he does improve as the year goes on," Sarkisian said. "I've seen that from him the last two seasons, that he has played his best football the second half of the season."
• Stanford announced Thursday that starting strong safety Delano Howell, a senior who is tied for third on the team in tackles with 25, will miss the game with a hand injury. He will be replaced by sophomore Devon Carrington, who has 19 tackles and has started three games.
• Sarkisian said the team is essentially healthy other than players already declared out for the season. Safety James Sample continues to struggle with a shoulder injury but will make the trip. And Sarkisian said Thursday he thought quarterback Keith Price looked healthier as the week progressed: "He always gets really healthy here in the next 48 hours because it's so limited work-wise and he's off his feet and his body can really recuperate."
