What is the weight limit on the bed?
Was easy to put together. Came in three boxes that were not too heavy. Sleek style that really made our room come together. We got this bed specifically because we didn't need a box spring and we love the color and the headboard design. There are two additional legs in the middle of the bed underneath that you can't see in the picture, so just make sure when you move the bed to lift it up from the middle area to have those off the ground too. If you are purchasing it for a mattress that doesn't require a box spring, maybe consider a bunky (or bunkie) board to add extra support because the slats are a little farther than 3 inches apart (which no more than 3 inches is what are mattress company recommended for support)....

Great bed
This bed looks great. The wood and style are very unique. I love the color and it appears to be solid wood. Very pleases for the cost.Read More
Nice looking bed
Bed was easy to assemble and looks great. One big issue i have with it is that my queen mattress fits very tightly in frame making it very hard to take sheets on and off. Not sure if my mattress is larger than most but it is a big problem for me as I wash sheets a lot. Also I knew bed was low profile but it looks even lower than I imagined. Think the price point is a little too high for this bed.Read More

Nice color; matches my room well
Assembly of this bed was very easy. Put it together myself in about an hour. Comes in 3 boxes, and the directions for the bed are easy to follow. It does sort of suck to if you have a medium-sized room like me and have no room to put it together, but putting together any bed is going to take up space initially. The look of the bed itself is very nice and complements my room. I have colorful artsy posters on my wall, and the shade and height of this bed truly match what I wanted my room to look like. It really is awesome. Something that you should take into account though is the height of the bed. It well works in my room because the headboard comes just about an inch short of my window, and anything taller would've obscured my view outside, but my window is relatively low compared to most places. The space between the ground and the bed is just under 6 inches, so if you like to put things under your bed, you won't be able to put much under this one. This bed should be considered a PLATFORM, because it is definitely low in height. Also, the wooden slabs that it comes with are a bit weak, especially the long one that comes with it that centers the bed. I haven't had any trouble with it, but when I was putting it together I wondered whether or not it could endure lots of physical movement on it. I know it's a bit TMI, but I've had sex on it plenty of times, and its held up, so I think the slabs are fine. Finally, my mattress sinks fairly low towards the foot of this bed, when my someone sits on it, and I haven't been able to figure out why. I even moved the wooden slabs once I noticed this to make sure they were even and weren't causing the problem, but my mattress still sinks :/ However, the things I brought up really are minuscule. I don't even notice those things anymore. The bed is awesome and it looks great. If you're not looking for a platform bed, DO NOT buy this, because it should be labeled as a platform. Other than that, this bed rocks!Read More
Best bed ever
A very solid bed. I have showed this bed to everyone that has come to my house that is how impressed I am with this purchase. I put the bed together myself with little help from someone holding up the frame so I could attach it to the headboard. The slats are screwed into the frame of the bed so they will not fall down. There are 20 slats and a center stabilizer bar. This bed is a sturdy bed solid wood and when it is put together it will not shake or move even when you try to move it. I only have a 14" foam mattress on the bed and it is more comfortable then the expensive mattress on my bed. I love overstock.com they are a great company and I tell everyone to go to them they will not be dissapointed.Read More
Awesome bed Frame! Better than Expected!!
I was searching for a guest bed that would fit into a mid century modern themed home. Similar bed frames can cost over $1000 dollars in local stores so I was a little skeptical about the quality of this bed. It arrived quickly in 3 boxes and was very easy to put together. I was pleasantly surprised with the authentic mid century look with the clean lines and tapered legs. I had to put a piece of plywood over the slats just to make sure it would properly support my memory foam mattress (im really not sure if that is necessary though) The only minor issue that I would note is that the stain in some places appears thicker but it is only noticeable from close up and actually gives it more character and makes it look vintage. Great bed for the buck!Read More
Great delivery; easy assembly; not real wood
I am happy with the bed, but the wood seems a little more non-natural than I was expecting. It has a finish on it that's glossier, less rustic than I expected. It's not exactly composite, but it's certainly highly treated wood. That said, the lines are really pretty, the color is just what I wanted, and I plan to keep it. I will likely have to replace my mattress: my high-quality pillowtop isn't thick enough to use on the slats without a boxspring, but with a boxspring, you lose the good lines of this bed (because they are covered up by the height of the mattress stack).Read More
Great bed
I purchased this bed for my new condo. It is very sturdy and works great with the memory foam mattress that I also purchased here on Overstock. The bed was pretty easily and quickly assembled by two people. The color was a little bit different that I was expecting. I was expecting it to be deep grey based on the pictures, but it is more of a brown wood with a light and thin grey overtone. It definitely grew on me quickly and it looks great in my bedroom.Read More

Thank you!
Can you please tell me how far apart the slats are from each other on this bed? I just bought a mattress that requires the slats to be no more than 3 inches apart. Thank you!
The slats are going to be approximately 3.5 inches apart. There is a center support and 12 slats.
As a follow up to your slat question. My mattress also required a closer gap than 3.5 inches. I ended up going to HD and getting extra slats to completely fill in the gaps. I would have gotten a piece of plywood but had not way to get that in the car. PS: The bedframe is nice and sturdy.
How high do the legs put the bed off of the floor?
The legs are approximately 6.1 inches tall.
wHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS ON THIS BED?
The bed is 44 H x 62 W x 85 L.

Digital Economy Bill: What it means for filesharers
If you haven't been languishing in a cave or living in some remote corner of the globe without TV or internet access, then you have probably come across something called the Digital Economy Bill.
This bill was recently passed and it has within it certain implications to anyone who downloads films, music or any content for that matter from the Internet.
Now there are many articles out there which explain in depth what each clause means in minute detail, but as a rule what you really want to know is not the minutiae, but how it will impact your digital life - especially when it comes to illegal downloads.
So here are a few points on some of the implications:
How does the bill aim to combat piracy?
The thought behind this one is that by creating a system where illegal filesharers come under closer scrutiny with harsher fines for those who steal content, it could mean that piracy is reduced - that is the theory.
However in reality this might not be the case as after an initial reduction in internet use serious filesharers could well hide their identities using encryption technologies and virtual private networks, meaning they can carry on with their activities anonymously.
Can I still carry out illegal downloads?
Yes, you can. But the issue now is that the Digital Economy Bill allows for copyright holders (film companies, record labels) to ask for you to be disconnected if you're caught downloading their material illegally.
You'll of course get a warning first from your ISP asking you to stop, but if you fail to do this then the company concerned could get hold of your details from your ISP and target you directly. Under mounting pressure and the threat of a large fine your ISP could end up cutting your internet access.
Will my privacy be compromised?
Yes, it could well be. This Bill means that if you persist in illegal file sharing activity, your ISP will be able get a closer look at you internet activity using Deep Packet Inspection meaning your activities could be scrutinised more frequently.
What will happen to filesharing sites?
The bill means that filesharing sites or sites connected with filesharing will be closely scrutinised, and if found to be used for illegal filesharing then there is the distinct possibility that it will be blocked. In short any filesharing sites are going to be in for a hard time.
The long and short
In a nutshell the Digital Economy Bill has been passed through in a hurry. Elections are looming and the Government has been under growing pressure to act from large copyright holders and publishing companies.
Neither does it appear to address the issues of unscrupulous individuals using unprotected Wi-Fi connections to carry out their downloading, possibly at your expense.
It is also a classic example of technology - in this case the ability to communicate and share data super quickly - moving ahead of society's ability to control it, inevitably leading to attempts by the powers that be to find a quick fix where there isn't one. Which cues up another of the great debates: is it technology itself that determines the type of society we live in or is technology simply part of the wider act of social shaping?
The big questions aside though, there is a fair amount of red tape to get through before it comes into regular effect so you won't need to change you activities for a good year or so.

This 'movie' is a series of several episodes from the MLP First Season. It features the Little Ponies trying to save Flutter Valley and the Sunstone from Hydia, Reeka and Draggle AND Bumble and her band of bees. This is not the My Little Pony movie; that has the little Ponies trying to save Dream Valley from the Smooze (conjured by the witches from the volcano of gloom) with the help of the Flutter Ponies.
For those of you, out there, who've purchased the Season 1 Dvd Box Set, you will have no need for this one. I know for a fact that these episodes are on the first disc... I watched them with my nephew and niece.
Of course, I'm only going by what the description says on this one. Queen Bumble and The Witches, sounds like the one dvd I've watched. For those Collectors that must own everything... go ahead a get it. I'm just letting you know that this is just a chunk sliced out of Season 1.
If you purchase the Season 1 box set, you get this movie, PLUS the rest of the Season 1 episodes and the two specials.
I don't understand why Rhino re-released this instead of the episodes from Season 2, which are NOT on DVD at all.
I would recommend that MLP fans buy the entire Season 1 box set instead of this.
Please Rhino, release MLP Season 2 and My Little Pony Tales on DVD.
While a great little show, it seems odd that they would rerelease a particular few episodes from the boxset as a new DVD... and why this series vs, say, the two pilots/specials?
Anyways, please don't be fooled and buy this in addition to the Series One box set... you'll be buying a repeat.
How about releasing other Seasons on DVD? Or the actual My Little Pony theatrical movie?
That being said, as an adult, a few parts are truly annoying (conversations between Morning Glory and Sting) and I had trouble sitting through. The only part that I really have a problem with as a parent is Megan playing Matador to distract an angry bull. We have livestock and we've spent the last several years ingraining our daughter with the message "Don't go in the corral with bulls, stallions, rams or buck goats" so I cringe every time I watch that part as non-farm kids think that they can play matador with dangerous intact bulls. But my daughter now age 5 loves it and I'm adding more MLP stuff to her collection.
True, this isn't the only site you can find it on. Elsewhere I've looked, you can get your hands on it for a "mere" seventy bucks.
If you've got that kind of money to spend on cartoons, awesome. If like the other 99% of us, you're either a fan of the new series and want to see the first generation, or are a parent who wants to show the kids a cute cartoon, but *do not* happen to own a diamond mine or an oil well or three, here you've got the movie-length direct sequel to the theatrical film (no celebrity voice actors but same writing crew; if you liked MLP: The Movie, you'll like this every bit as much.) and you know what the best part is? *You will not have to sell any organs to get your hands on it.*

'The Walking Dead's' Steven Yeun Boards Bong Joon-ho's 'Okja'
The "Walking Dead" star joins Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal and Paul Dano in the sci-fi film, which has begun shooting in South Korea.
The "Walking Dead" star joins Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal and Paul Dano in the sci-fi film, which has begun shooting in South Korea.
Director Harald Zwart and star Lily Collins mount a successfully thoughtful but dramatically uninspired adaptation of the first book in Cassandra Clare's series of young-adult novels, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
Lily Collins, star of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, talks with Spinoff Online about bringing the bestselling novel to the screen, and what separates her character Clary from other heroines of the genre.
The Mortal Instruments author Cassandra Clare talks with Spinoff Online about the upcoming adaptation City of Bones and conceiving a series of novels that uniquely explores hero myths from a female perspective.
The cast of the highly anticipated YA novel adaptation The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones descended upon a packed Hall H at Comic-Con International to reveal monstrous footage and discuss the upcoming film.
As Cassandra Clare told CBR of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, "There's a lot of people's heads getting chopped off, there's a lot of monsters. It is really gritty and dark." The same can be said for the new trailer.
Sony Pictures packed the Anaheim Convention Center arena for a WonderCon presentation spotlighting The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Evil Dead and This Is the Dead.
With Mirror Mirror, his lighthearted reimagining of the Snow White tale, director Tarsem Singh is in his element, reveling in jaw-dropping set pieces and over-the-top costume designs while eliciting entertaining performances from Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer and breakout star Lily Collins.
Only three weeks after Lily Collins was pegged to play the lead in the remake of The Evil Dead, word arrives that the Mirror Mirror star has left the project because of "scheduling issues."
Lily Collins, star of the upcoming Mirror Mirror, has been cast as the lead in the Fede Alvarez-directed, Diablo Cody-rewritten remake of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead.
Relativity Media has unveiled the first trailer for Tarsem Singh's colorful and lighthearted reimagining of the Snow White tale, Mirror Mirror, which stars Julia Roberts, Lily Collins, Armie Hammer, Nathan Lane and Sean Bean.
Relativity Media's long-untitled Snow White project is now named Mirror, Mirror. Directed by Tarsem Singh, the film stars Lily Collins, Armie Hammer, Julia Roberts and Nathan Lane.

ack 2.0 Released
ack is a grep-like, command-line tool that has been optimized for programmers to search large trees of source code.
ack 2.0 has been released, according to an announcement from developer Andy Lester. ack was developed in 2005 and is now included in the main Linux distributions.
In the announcement, posted on http://petdance.com/, Lester says long-time ack users should note some important changes. ack 2.0 now searches all text files – not just the ones that ack recognizes. However, users can revert to the old behavior if desired. The latest version includes a more flexible identification system that lets users specify a file type based on extension, and it also provides increased support for ackrc files. Additionally, Lester notes, ack 2.0 can read the list of files directly from stdin, which allows users to do things like search every file in a Git repository – and only those files that appear in the repository.
ack is written in Perl 5 and has been packaged for many Linux distributions, OS X, and FreeBSD. The open source tool is released under Artistic License v2.0. For more information, including installation help, please visit the ack website.

When a car has a major flaw, like a potentially lethal airbag, it gets recalled. Same for a coffeemaker, or a surfboard, or a prescription drug. But when that major flaw is in a product's software — like a huge exploit that puts literally a billion consumers' privacy and personal data at risk — there's no universal process out there for remedying the situation. Do we need one? And if so, how can we get one? [More]
Why Don't Huge Privacy Flaws Result In Recalled Smartphones?
Don't Expect An End To Sketchy Hotel Resort Fees Anytime Soon
In 2012, it looked like the Federal Trade Commission might finally be cracking down on hotel "resort fees," mandatory surcharges added above the listed price of some hotel rooms. At the time, the agency sent warnings to 22 different hotel operators warning them that they weren't doing enough to disclose these fees, but no legal actions have been taken since, in spite of the fact that some popular tourist destinations are hiding their resort fees until the final payment screen. And judging by the FTC's latest response to these concerns, you probably shouldn't expect this to change in the near future. [More]
Buyers Of Convicted Liar Kevin Trudeau's Weight Loss Book May Finally Be Getting Refunds
Last year, author Kevin Trudeau was sentenced to 10 years behind bars for repeatedly violating pledges to stop lying about the content of his book The Weight Loss Cure "They" Don't Want You to Know About. Yesterday, nearly a decade after Trudeau was first held in contempt over his misleading claims about this book, a federal judge gave the go-ahead for a plan to finally issue refunds to consumers who purchased the title.

Walmart Also Selling Mislabeled "Made In America" Products In Stores
Last week, an advertising watchdog group called out Walmart's website for selling more than 100 products labeled as "Made in the U.S.A." even though they were manufactured in other countries. Now comes a local news report showing that the confusing problem isn't relegated to Walmart.com. [More]
Should Hotels Be Required To Include Mandatory "Resort Fees" In Published Room Rates?
In order to minimize surprise when it comes time to pay, airlines in the U.S. now need to include all mandatory fees in their published airfares, but the same isn't true for hotels. Many destinations now tack on so-called "resort fees" that claim to cover things like access to in-hotel gyms and pools, but which are mandatory for all guests whether you use those amenities or not. Even though these required add-on charges can significantly increase a guest's total bill, hotels do not have to include the fee in their listed rates. [More]
Report Finds 100+ Walmart.com Products Labeled "Made In U.S.A." That Were Made Elsewhere
While there is no official review process required for labeling a product as "Made in the U.S.A.," a company can get into legal trouble for misusing that label, as doing so may constitute false advertising. A new report from an advertising watchdog group claims that Walmart's website has more than 100 examples of products incorrectly marketed as made in America. [More]
Privacy Group's FTC Complaint: Uber Shouldn't Track Users When They're Not Using The App
A digital-privacy group has filed a complaint against Uber, saying the company's new privacy policy says it could use a rider's location information to track where they are even when the app is running in the background, and also takes issue with the company's policy regarding collecting address book information. The Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C wants the FTC to investigate. [More]
Steam Summer Sale Has Deep Video Game Discounts… And Pricing Shenanigans That Confuse Consumers
For 125 million gamers who prefer to play on their computers, Steam is the online retailer of choice, especially when it runs one of its huge seasonal sales. But while these promotions, like the current "Monster Summer Sale," offer what appear to be deep discounts, Steam is also repeatedly accused of artificially inflating prices to make these savings look better than they are.

AT&T Still Trying To Wriggle Out Of Federal Throttling Lawsuit
Seven months after the Federal Trade Commission sued AT&T's wireless division for allegedly misleading customers about "unlimited" data plans, and nearly two months after a judge denied AT&T's attempt to dismiss the case, the Death Star is still trying to choke the government's lawsuit into submission.

FTC Puts A Stop To Three Debt Collection Operations Using Threatening Text Messages, Robocalls
For the most part, we can't say many glowing things about the debt collection industry that has, in the past, been known for using a litany of abusive and deceptive practices to pry money from consumers. Three such companies will no longer be bothering people after the Federal Trade Commission temporarily shut down the operations for engaging in nearly all of the hallmarks of shady collectors: threatening lawsuits or arrest, impersonating law enforcement and government officials and illegally contacting supposed debtors.

4 Cancer Charities Accused Of Swindling Donors Out Of $187 Million
Federal regulators, state officials and prosecutors and law enforcement officers from all 50 states and the District of Columbia partnered today to charge four cancer charities and their operators for running a scheme that swindle consumers out of $187 million in charitable donations. Two of the charities have agreed to settle the charges and dissolve their businesses, while two other plan to fight the charges in court. [More]
Company That Makes Wet Wipes Agrees Not To Call Products "Flushable" Unless It Can Prove It

FTC: 'Clinically Proven' Menopause And Weight Loss Supplement Helps With Neither
American consumers have spent $65 million on Amberen, a supplement meant to ease the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. These symptoms can include hot flashes, insomnia, irritability, and weight gain. Did Amberen help with these symptoms, as promised? No, the Federal Trade Commission says: it mostly helped to lighten customers' bank accounts, and has filed a complaint against the company that sells it. [More]
FTC Urges Michigan To Repeal Ban That Prevents Tesla From Selling Directly To Consumers
Last year, Michigan joined the list of states that require car manufacturers to use dealerships to sell their vehicles, effectively banning Tesla from selling its pricey electric vehicles to Michigan residents. Now, staffers at the Federal Trade Commission are chiming in, urging Michigan lawmakers to consider repealing this ban. [More]
FTC Shuts Down Two More Fake News Sites Pushing Weight-Loss Products
For years, the Federal Trade Commission has been combatting scammy marketers of weight-loss products who use fake news sites, fictional reporters, and bogus celebrity endorsements, but people keep trying to pull these cons on consumers. This morning, the FTC announced yet another takedown of a sketchy diet pill marketer using lookalike news sites to sell its products.
A friendly reminder to AT&T wireless customers: as a result of their $105m settlement with the FTC, the company has to pay refunds for cramming. The application deadline for refunds is May 1 — that's tomorrow. You can visit the settlement website to see if you're eligible or to submit a claim.

A new report from OE's Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program presents findings on smart grid improvements in outage management, based on the recent experiences of three SGIG projects.
Beginning on September 30, 2014, the Department of Energy hosted a two-day workshop on "Estimating the Benefits and Costs of Distributed Energy Technologies" in Washington DC. The purpose of the workshop was to foster discussion about the analytic challenges associated with valuing the diverse impacts of deploying distributed energy technologies. Many valuation studies have been published in recent years, using different methods and assumptions.
The Energy Department's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability announced that it is making up to $3.5 million in funding available for communities to deploy smart grid tools and technologies to advance climate preparedness and resiliency of the electricity delivery infrastructure. This Funding Opportunity supports the goals of other initiatives by the Administration to prepare the Nation for the impacts of climate change by providing funding to local and tribal governments.
This report presents the lessons learned from utilities' consumer engagement efforts as part of the Smart Grid Investment Grant Program. These lessons offer practical steps that can reduce risks and increase efficiencies, thereby lowering project costs and increasing the chances of successful outcomes.
On Thursday, December 11, 2014, from 1 - 4 p.m. ET, the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability in coordination with the Federal Smart Grid Task Force will conduct a webinar to conclude the development phase of a Voluntary Code of Conduct (VCC) related to privacy of customer energy usage data for utilities and third parties.
Today, the Department of Energy launched a mobile app called Lantern Live that helps consumers quickly find and share critical information about nearby gas stations and power outages during energy emergencies. The app builds on the Obama Administration's commitment to improve national energy preparedness in the face of extreme weather and other events that can result in power disruptions.
The DOE-funded Power Systems Engineering Research Center (PSERC) is offering a free public webinar presenting a simulation-based investigation of PV impacts on distribution systems and discussing a new approach for volt-VAR optimization with reactive power capabilities of PV inverters.
DOE/OE and EPRI will host a technology transfer webinar on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 from noon to 2 p.m. (ET). The purpose of this open webinar is to disseminate results and outcomes of the recently completed project "High-Performance Hybrid Simulation/Measurement-Based Tools for Proactive Operator Decision-Support," which is one of the awarded projects of the DOE Advanced Modeling Grid Research Program.
WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Energy launched a new $2.3 million pilot program to accelerate the transfer of innovative clean energy technologies from the DOE's National Laboratories into the commercial marketplace

Just the best.
As his swansong (although another was released posthumously), Chilean filmmaker Raoul Ruiz delivered an epic and sweeping period drama based on an 1854 novel by the same name. I chose to seek out the 'full cut' - a five and a half hour effort broken into six parts for Portuguese television (the stripped back theatrical version version comes in at about an hour shorter).
Mysteries of Lisbon is a stunning tapestry of interwoven tales (similar to the masterful The Saragossa Manuscript, but not quite as layered or 'down the rabbit-hole') with a vast array of characters who share connections of love, murder and deception and always seemingly tied to the ever-present and almost omniscient Father Dinis, who as we discover…
The first hour or so, before we were too tired to continue, but, as I tweeted, the camera moves unmoor theatricality into something approaching that seductive/exalting catch-all phrase we lean on too often in moments of ecstatic spectatorship: pure cinema!
Chilean director Raoul Ruiz towards the twilight dusk of his career decided to adapt a Portuguese period piece novel into what would be a sweeping epic 4 and a half hour long tale of passion, deception, lost parentage and reinventing personas among Portuguese socialites. With how many stories within stories segments this film contains not to mention visualization from each character's viewpoint, think of Mysteries of Lisbon as a non-surreal and fairly straightforward version of The Saragossa Manuscript with its flashbacks upon flashbacks and a touch of Barry Lyndon's period piece costume style drama. That's how I would describe it anyway.
For being such a long film, it is always interesting to evaluate how long does the film really feel…
Raoul Ruiz, whilst far from consistent (no man as prolific as he was could ever produce great work each and every time), was still one of the most interesting filmmakers of his generation. Mysteries of Lisbon was his penultimate film before his death last year and it is a fitting send-off not only in quality but in the way it so neatly encapsulates his entire career.
The film is a sprawling and labyrinthine epic that spans decades, continents and a four and a half hour run time. As with his best work, such as the brilliant adaptation of Proust's Time Regained or the rarely seen children's TV series Manoel's Destinies, Ruiz's films are difficult to pin down. They are fluid…
"It started as a game and ended as bourgeois melodrama", that's how one of the main characters in Mysteries of Lisbon describes his relationship with a vengeful ex-lover. Everything here is a game but also "bourgeois melodrama ". It's cartography of fictions in which every distancing effect get us closer to its drama. It's a game in which narratives follow each other, character identities glides towards new personas, and doubles multiply themselves. No history is unique, but no history is the same. Mysteries of Lisbon is less a film than a catalogue of many other films, most of them more than able to sustain their own 100 minutes. They are almost all variations of failed loves and lives that in…

So here are the six functions as outlined at various times and in various ways by Ruiz, both in the essay and in the useful summary included in the interview given as a bonus on several Gemini Films DVD editions of his films:
1. A shot is a paradigm and an allegory for the whole film – as when it provides a 'poster image', or what John Ellis precisely calls a film's narrative image.
2. It is a self-reflective or critical image. This is what Ruiz calls the recursive function (opposite to the strategic function of 'always going forward'), the function of doubt that makes a viewer want to immediately 'rewind' or re-see an image in order to verify the…
"During my long story you will probably ask why I am telling you these things."
This is indeed a long story; only after the 2 hour mark did I notice there was 4 and a half hours total running time. My interest did lag in the final hour and a half, but everything up till then was well worth it.
Tales of overwrought nobility having emotions is not typically my cup of tea but the storytelling and visuals are so entrancing that it would do the film a disservice to sum it up like that. Mysteries of Lisbon is a historical epic about love, sin, revenge, forgiveness, atonement, and the curious coincidences of life.
This is a masterpiece.
Four-and-a-half-hour Dickensian tale adapted from a book of the same name from 1854. If you like foreign period dramas with an epic cast of characters whose lives are intricately intertwined, you'll like this. Although I had to spread my viewings over three sessions, it wasn't for lack of genuine intrigue, especially in regards to a priest with a colorful set of pasts. If someone hadn't posted it in a Criterion fan Page on Facebook it would've gone unappreciated by myself as it seems to have been by most of the rest of the world.
290 Minutes of arts , this movie is like a painting , i liked everything about it , really remarkable , and I'm really sad because i think that it's underrated .
everybody should see this movie , and don't worry it's not long as you think , it's just a short long film .
Una suave delicia llena de historias dentro de historias dentro de historias que al final son una sola historia que, sorprendentemente, nunca parece siquiera molestarse en aspirar a ser La Obra Maestra De La Alta Cultura que uno esperaría (que yo, al menos, esperaba) encontrar en este tipo de obra. Es algo parecido a esas adaptaciones que saca la BBC continuamente de la obra de Austen / Bronte / whoever you wanna name: nada por lo que tampoco vayas a saltar por la ventana de emoción pero si una pieza con la que es difícil ponerse quisquilloso al estar tan enfocada y decidida en mantener la elegancia y la decencia en todos y cada uno de sus aspectos. Clotilde Hesme y Maria João Bastos necesitan lentes nuevas que puedan resistir su presencia, por cierto. Que llamen a la NASA o algo para que las vayan fabricando.

If The Saragossa Manuscript and Barry Lyndon had a baby raised by Great Expectation, it would probably look something like this, although I should note that it is in fact an adaptation of the Camilo Castelo Branco novel of the same name. The conversation around all long movies always seems to start on its length, but Mysteries of Lisbon is a shockingly brisk and watchable 272 minutes, and save for an ambiguous ending that pulls off the most hated cliche of all shockingly well, it has a very tight resolution...even too tight.
It is easy to admire the film for being able to tell this story, or rather these stories, of one biography of maternal abandonment and shifting identity (mirrored…

The Vibration Characteristics of ``Free‐Free'' Circularly Curved Bars14(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1715008View Description Hide Description
The positions of the nodal points and the values of the frequencies of vibration have been determined for the first five or six modes of parallel and transverse vibration of circularly curved bars of uniform cross section with central angles ranging from 356° to 60°. For vibration in the plane of curvature (parallel) the relative positions of the nodal points are the same for the same central angles, regardless of the type of cross section. Also, for the parallel vibration the frequency in the nth mode is given by the expression,,where θ is the half central angle in radians, L is the length, B is the bending stiffness of the cross section about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the ring, m is the mass per unit length, and K is a ``frequency constant'' which depends upon n and θ. For n>1 or 2, K may be expressed accurately as,.Graphs of S(θ), g(θ), and K(1, θ) are presented. For vibrations transverse to the plane of curvature the relative positions of the nodal points depend only upon the central angle. The frequency in the nth mode of transverse vibration is given by the expression,,where θ, L, and m are the same as defined above, A is the bending stiffness of the cross section about an axis in the radial direction, and ψ is a ``frequency constant'' which depends upon n, θ, and the A/C ratio. For n>2, ψ may be expressed quite accurately as,.Graphs of Q(θ, A/C), q(θ, A/C), and ψ(1, θ, A/C) are presented.
A Spectrophotometric Method for the Analysis of Multicomponent Mixtures and Its Infra‐Red Application14(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1715009View Description Hide Description
A general method has been developed for spectrophotometric analysis of multicomponent mixtures. The method is based on the assumption that the optical density of a mixture equals the sum of the optical densities of the components, although the transmissions of the individual components may not follow Beer's law. The application of the method to infra‐red absorption of vapor samples is described in detail. The results of tests using a six‐component C4 hydrocarbon mixture are given. The method is especially useful for the rapid routine analysis of large numbers of samples containing the same components, and therefore is well suited for plant control purposes.
Radiosulfur Tracer Study of Sulfurized Lubrication Addition Agents14(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1715010View Description Hide Description
Radioactive tracer techniques have been used to ascertain the concentration of sulfurized addition agent in lubricating oil blends on metallic surfaces, the active element being radiosulfur prepared with the cyclotron and introduced into the olefin molecules. Film formation seems to be quite general, having been tested on seven different types of commercial metallic bearings as well as on glass. The film is transparent and very thin. In the extreme cases, it imparts a faint opalescence to the bright surface. The organic molecules may form a loose molecular compound with the metal or a polymerized film, sufficiently adherent, however, to resist the solvent action of benzene and carbon disulfide. The rate of film formation has been established at 88°C (190°F) and at room temperature for a typical bearing composition. It has been found that the rate though several times slower than at 88°C at room temperature is still quite appreciable and favorable from the standpoint of engine protection. The mechanism of oxidation inhibition and thus retardation of corrosion and sludging with this addition agent seems to embrace both alteration of surface character of catalyzing metals and bulk or liquid phase inhibition in the oil. The adherent organic film is probably involved in ``oiliness'' (film strengthening and prevention of complete oil drainage from motor bearings and walls by anchoring through polar molecules) since engine tests have shown that the oiliness of straight mineral oil is appreciably improved by addition of sulfurized olefins.

Thank you Dr. Aaron Barson! As an obstetrician-gynecologist who cares for women daily and as a mother of a 13-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl, I was thrilled when I saw your billboard and ads throughout the city providing me with a great opportunity to discuss body image. A healthy-appearing woman with normal body proportions is shown looking down at her un-augmented chest, measuring it with the words "Go Natural Breast Augmentation."
What a wonderful opportunity to talk with our children, friends and family about the intense marketing of an unnatural body image which profits plastic surgeons and others and leads women on an endless quest for the perfect face, chest, abdomen and buttocks in the eyes of someone other than our maker. All women can make their own choices on how they want to alter their bodies, I am just glad to have such an obvious way to start a conversation with my children.
