When your Mercedes-Benz GL550 left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants European styling in their automobile. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles these days. Obviously, you didn't buy your GL550 unless you knew that you wanted best-in-class service and a trusted brand both impeccably combined into one automobile. Mercedes-Benz vehicle enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of a reputation for strength when driving their GL550 around town.
When it comes to safety devices on our vehicles, each component should be inspected for functionality and replaced if necessary. The two hardest parts on your Mercedes-Benz GL550 to look at by yourself are likely your tail lights. Since you are operating your car or truck from the inside looking forward, it is not possible to evaluate the operating condition of your Mercedes-Benz GL550 tail lights without someone else to help. As there are other cars all around you, both in front and behind,, the tail lights are just as important to your safety as your headlights. They signal to other drivers your intentions, and if the tail lights on your car or truck are not working properly you could get into an accident or a ticket.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Buying new Mercedes-Benz parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement GL550 parts on the internet. When your Mercedes-Benz needs a new replacement Tail Light, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. All the Mercedes-Benz GL550 Tail Light parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008. Choose your year below to refine your search.

Conwy Castle
Beaumaris Castle
Caernarfon Castle
No comments:
Wales - Day 3
Today is castle marathon day! We're visiting at least three castles today, maybe more if time allows. We're going to wring every last bit of value out of that Explorer Pass that we can. ;-)
First up: Conwy Castle. Built where the River Conwy flows into the Irish Sea, this 13th century Castle commanded a strategic point at the port city of Conwy. We climbed up and down lots of stairs and towers and looked out at the medieval walls that surrounded the town. If we had more time, we would have walked the walls. It is super windy today and the wind is just blasting us on top of these towers. Another really bad hair day, oh well!
Second: Beaumaris Castle. This castle was really interesting because it was never completely finished but it has a complete set of outer walls surrounded by a moat, then a green space, and then an inner set of even taller walls and towers. We don't think we've seen a castle with two complete sets of walls and towers before. There were inside passages that ran all around the perimeter of the inside walls too, with archer's stations poisitioned along them. The inside of the castle was never finished according to plan as Edward I ran low on funds. It costs a lot of money to build a castle!
Outside Beaumaris Castle there was a small craft fair going on. There was an owl rescue group there and, for a small donation, you could hold one of the Owls on display. I got to hold a very nice owl named Mr. Cheeky-chips who liked to have his feathers stroked.
Third: Caernarfon Castle. This is the castle where the Prince of Wales is crowned. This is because Edward II, the first Prince of Wales was born here. We climbed to the top of the tallest tower and looked around a bit, but at this point we were getting "castled-out" and the wind was just so strong we decided to call it quits at three castles instead of trying to squeeze in a fourth. It was also 4pm and we had started at 9:30am, so time to head back to our B&B. We left the castle and headed toward the pier where we had parked. We turned the corner around a building and the wind quite literally stopped us in our tracks! We both looked at each other like "did that just happen to you too?" Mike even had one foot raised to take his next step! Anyway we made it to the car and out of that freakish wind.
Back at Betws-y-Coed, we strolled along the high street for a bit, had a bite to eat and headed back to the room to relax. Tomorrow we head to Manchester and fly home the day after that. We've seen a lot of great stuff but I'm ready for my own comfy bed and to see the family. It's always nice to come home. ☺

Wales - Day 2
We have a long day planned today, driving from South to North Wales with a couple of stops along the way.
The first stop is Strata Florida Abbey. Another 12ty century Cistercian abbey. There is much less of this one to see as compared to Tintern Abbey yesterday. One arch and some partial walls, there is some interesting tilework in the remains of the chapels though. The very nice lady at the visitor center is happy to answer my questions about directions to our next stop and also a scenic drive that I had read about. Thanks to her excellent detailed directions, we get straight to our next destination, the Devil's Bridge.
The Devil's Bridge is an 11th century bridge with an 18th century bridge built above it, and a 20th century bridge above that one. There are two trails here. We took the first trail, the waterfall trail. It goes down into the gorge and back up again with views of a long beautiful series of waterfalls along the way. The trail has 675 steps and took us about 40 minutes to complete. We met some nice people from Cornwall who were also hiking the trail and chatted with them for a few minutes. Everyone we have met in Wales has been so nice and so friendly. The other section of the hike is above the falls and gives you a good look at the three bridges. We went down to see the bridges and then back up again. The day had started out cold and windy but we were definitely hot after all that climbing. We bought a couple of sodas and then headed back to the car for the scenic portion of the drive.
From Devil's Bridge, we took a small local road (recommended by someone on Tripadvisor and confirmed by the nice lady at Strata Florida this morning) to Cwnystwyth then on the mountain road above the Elan Valley. Wild and windy scenery, sheep and cattle loose on the road, it was a great drive and we both really enjoyed it. We kept stopping the car to jump out and take pictures. We made it to Rhayadar and joined up with a more major road (wide enough for two cars instead of one), and headed to Betws-y-Coed for our final destination and home base for the next two nights.

Wales 2016 - Day 1
Today we're heading to Wales! I've really been looking forward to this part of the trip, I've heard Wales is an awesome scenic place.
We start with Tintern Abbey, a 12th century Cistercian abbey ruin. This is another one of those things where you drive along and think "we should be able to see it now" and then Bam! it's right in front of you. The early morning light is perfect for some really good photos. Lots of the arches and walls are still standing and it's easy to picture what it must have looked like. The nice young woman in the gift shop sells me a 3day Explorer Pass which will save us on admission fees at most of the places we'll be visiting. She's very helpful and friendly and helps me with Welsh pronunciation too.
Next we're off to Caerphilly to see the big moated castle there. We find the car parking and get our "pay and display" ticket on the dash. We immediately notice that one of the castle towers looks to be in imminent danger of falling over. Cool! Across the street, over the moat and into the castle we go. The man at the counter tells us to start with the great hall because there's a wedding in a just a little while and the great hall will be closed for that. We take his advice and head into the hall, the chairs and flowers are set up for the wedding and I'm thinking it would be a pretty cool thing to be married in an old castle. We climb towers, up and down lots of narrow spiral stairs. They're making a movie here tomorrow and they have props already set up. There's a dockside set of props to make it look like a market day. In the center courtyard there's a platform set up with a block! Like for chopping off someone's head! Yikes!
We return to the car park to find the local parking enforcement guy standing in front of our car with his little tablet device. Uh-oh! We ask him if we're ok cuz our ticket still shows an hour of time left and he says no, but then tells us he's just "pokin' at us". It turns out this guy is super funny and friendly and we have a nice conversation about his vacation to America about 5 years ago. When he finds out we're from California, he's jealous because in Wales they get 350 days of rain each year.
The next destination is Carreg Cennan, a ruined castle that sits high up on a hill out in the middle of nowhere. Our car navigation is very faithful to take us the fastest route but her choice of roads is somewhat questionable. We find ourselves on a "road" that is solid hedgerow on both sides of the car, so narrow that we pull the side mirrors in and stick our heads out the window to make sure we don't scrape anything. At one point, it even becomes an unpaved road. Yep! Just muddy dirt and no end in sight. So stressful! Thankfully we finally reach a small but paved road and I wonder out loud "why couldn't we have taken this road in the first place?". We turn down another little road and get our first glimpse of the castle. Mike is always saying that a proper castle should sit atop a hill and this one certainly would fit that ideal.
We stop at the admission counter to show our Explorer pass and pick up a flashlight because this castle also has a cave! 😳 It's a bit of a hike up the hill, past the sheep and cattle, to reach the castle. Once inside there isn't a lot left of anything but the walls, but the view is fantastic. We tromp around a bit and look over the edge to the valley waaaayyyy down below us. Then we decide to check out the cave. This is when it becomes less fun for me. The passage was small, narrow, dark and spooky with an uneven rocky floor and the whole thing gave me the creeps. I couldn't wait to get back up into the light and fresh air! I don't know what the castle inhabitants used it for, and I don't want to know. We walk around the outside of the castle walls and take a few more photos and then head back down the hill, past the same sheep and cattle who didn't seem to care about us one bit.

Between Two Worlds: The Hmong Shaman in America
This classic film documents the Hmong refugees who have been transplanted from their agrarian mountain villages in northern Laos to cities in the U.S. Often living in high-rise tenements, they bring their ancient shamanic rituals and ceremonies to urban America. In such unlikely settings, trance-like healing and animal offerings are practiced as they were back home.
The documentary captures rare and dramatic footage of the Hmong buying and sacrificing a cow in rural Illinois to save a sick baby in a metropolitan hospital. It shows the attempts of a missionary to convert a traditional Hmong family. It also explores an unexplained phenomenon (SUNDS) in which young Hmong men have died in their sleep for no apparent medical cause. Anthropologist Dwight Conquergood, well-known for his work with the Hmong, points out the similarity between their beliefs and those of the Native Americans.

All of the above is background to one of the great mysteries of the climate change issue. Virtually all the scientists directly involved in climate prediction are aware of the enormous problems and uncertainties still associated with their product. How then is it that those of them involved in the latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) can put their hands on their hearts and maintain there is a 95 per cent probability that human emissions of carbon dioxide have caused most of the global warming that has occurred over the last several decades?
Bear in mind that the representation of clouds in climate models (and of water vapour, which is intimately involved with cloud formation) is such as to amplify the forecast warming from increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide—on average over most of the models—by a factor of about three. In other words, two-thirds of the forecast rise in temperature derives from this particular model characteristic. Despite what the models are telling us—and perhaps because it is models that are telling us—no scientist close to the problem and in his right mind, when asked the specific question, would say that he is 95 per cent sure that the effect of clouds is to amplify rather than to reduce the warming effect of increasing carbon dioxide. If he is not sure that clouds amplify global warming, he cannot be sure that most of the global warming is a result of increasing carbon dioxide.
Bear in mind too that no scientist close to the problem and in his right mind, when asked the specific question, would say there is only a very small possibility (that is, less than 5 per cent) that internal ocean behaviour could be a major cause of the warming over the past half-century. He would be particularly careful not to make such a statement now that there has been no significant warming over the most recent fifteen or so years. In the mad scurry to find reasons for the pause, and to find reasons for an obvious failure of the models to simulate the pause, suddenly we are hearing that perhaps the heat of global warming is being "hidden" in the deep ocean. In other words we are being told that some internal oceanic fluctuation may have reduced the upward trend in global temperature. It is therefore more than a little strange that we are not hearing from the IPCC (or at any rate not hearing very loudly) that some natural internal fluctuation of the system may have given rise to most of the earlier upward trend.
In the light of all this, we have at least to consider the possibility that the scientific establishment behind the global warming issue has been drawn into the trap of seriously overstating the climate problem—or, what is much the same thing, of seriously understating the uncertainties associated with the climate problem—in its effort to promote the cause. It is a particularly nasty trap in the context of science, because it risks destroying, perhaps for centuries to come, the unique and hard-won reputation for honesty which is the basis of society's respect for scientific endeavour. Trading reputational capital for short-term political gain isn't the most sensible way of going about things.
The trap was set in the late 1970s or thereabouts when the environmental movement first realised that doing something about global warming would play to quite a number of its social agendas. At much the same time, it became accepted wisdom around the corridors of power that government-funded scientists (that is, most scientists) should be required to obtain a goodly fraction of their funds and salaries from external sources—external anyway to their own particular organisation.//

WGU is a nationwide nonprofit university leading the way in producing K – 12 math and science educators, according to a recent study conducted by education research and consulting group Eduventures. The study, which used data collected by the U.S. Department of Education, found that in 2011, WGU was the nation's largest provider of master's degree programs in math education. In addition, WGU was the third-largest provider of master's degrees in science education and the fourth-largest provider of bachelor's degrees in math education. The university is also a top provider of bachelor's and master's degrees in science education, including biology, chemistry, physics, general science, and earth sciences. "Helping prepare teachers to rise to the STEM challenge is in our DNA," said Dr. Mark David Milliron, WGU Texas Chancellor. "Beginning with the founding of WGU some 15 years ago, to the creation of WGU Texas in August of 2011 and on to today, we've maintained a laser focus on improving and expanding options for motivated teaching candidates to choose and succeed on STEM pathways." WGU Texas uses a competency-based approach to learning that is ideal for working adults because it allows students to take advantage of prior education and work experience by moving quickly through material they already know so they can focus on what they still need to learn. The approach has proved to be a great fit for working professionals who amass considerable knowledge and expertise in their field prior to earning a university degree. All programs offer flexible online study, state-of-the-art learning resources, expert faculty, and individualized mentor-guided support.

AMV Opinions or Comments
Hmmm...well...i wasnt sure if i should post this here or in the general forum because technically it deals with anime so sorry ahead of time. I decided to post this in Animesuki's forum also because i figured the people here would actually say something rather than nothing like the AMV.org forum.
The link under my sig banner takes you to my AMV page (duh) so i thought i'd see what others have to say about them here more because people here are a LOT nicer and more likely to leave a comment (i've posted each time i released a video in AMV.org's Video Annoucement forum and got nothing).
Basically, i'm just looking for a little feed back because, let's face it, friends and family will love it no matter how bad it is.
Also i'd be happy to look at anyone elses AMVs and give them comments if they'd like since i know how hard it is to get people to comment on them.

A Hard Day's Night on Criterion Blu-ray and DVD
In 1964 everyone under age 25 seemed to be a Beatles fan. The big wave hit America hard and fast early in the year. The four British 'lads' were a breath of fresh air, a welcome break from assassinations and nuclear standoffs. Their songs were rich with melody and the 'new sound' we were all told was coming from England. We were hungry for every snippet of B&W news footage of the Beatles smiling and making clever jokes in their unique suits and mop top haircuts. They just plain could do no wrong, as if they held the copyright on fun and happiness. For Gods such as these, movie stardom couldn't be far off.
A Hard Day's Night turned out to be one of the happiest film accidents of the 1960s. David Picker signed United Artists on barely knowing what he was getting into, and the deal was closed so quickly that UA ceded ultimate ownership to producer Walter Shenson. But the choice of director was ideal for all parties. The Beatles had no intention of making a standard rock 'n' roll exploitation picture. For every Jailhouse Rock, four major embarrassments showed unhappy singers lip-synching to playback and sharing the stage with whatever pop act the record companies were pushing that year. American director Richard Lester had worked with The Goons and Peter Sellers, and the Beatles approved of his anarchic approach to comedy. Working with a script by Alun Owen, a writer familiar with Liverpool argot, Lester fashioned a wild farce that combined convincing newsreel-like action with a satire of a 'typical' day in the life for the Beatles. Viewers would get plenty of privileged time to hang out with the four most admired young men in the world.
Although scripted, A Hard Day's Night is so freely assembled that audiences thought the Beatles were making it all up as they went along. The Fab Four avoid teeming mobs of teenaged girls, attend parties, give reporters grief and amuse each other in hotels and on trains. They display their public personalities, ratcheted up three notches in cleverness. Paul's crotchety grandfather (Wilfred Brambell) gets in constant trouble making petty side deals; Ringo becomes melancholy and wanders off just as rehearsals for a big television performance get underway. The neurotic Telly director comes unglued - will they make it back to the studio by airtime?
There's nothing quite like this film: it's hard to imagine a better Beatles introduction to the mass audience. The show often takes on the look of a verité documentary, and displays a cutting style that captures perfectly the Beatles' impish sense of humor and effusive spontaneity. The lads give their minders headaches while tormenting (in good fun) the fussy BBC types preparing a video concert. Although never as bleakly absurd as an average Goon skit, the comedy draws upon silent-movie slapstick and silliness for its own sake -- but always in the service of character. Some of the Beatle interactions with passersby are inspired, such as John's impromptu love scene with an actress (Anna Quayle) in a narrow hallway. Sidebar gags suitable for a comic strip frequently intrude, like some business with a car thief ignored by the Bobbies that dash about like Keystone Cops. To create a break from the hectic pace, Director Lester takes time out for a slower sequence in which a lonely Ringo wanders down by the riverbank. Without his band mates he's just another sad-faced bloke. Viewers were dazzled by the Beatles and charmed by a stunning new visual approach. Lester continued this anarchic comedy style in his follow-up romantic comedy The Knack ... and How to Get It.
Great care was taken to integrate the musical interludes into the film fabric. The first is the most daring -- the boys are playing cards in a train's baggage car when a song starts to play. Across a cut they've suddenly unpacked their equipment and are performing to a small audience of fans peering through a wire mesh fence. The reality then switches back, and yet it all seems perfectly natural. There's also the revolutionary "Can't Buy Me Love" sequence, that compresses the energy of a year into one brief music video-like playground romp. George Martin arranged a half-dozen instrumental cues that would now be classified as easy listening covers; since UA's original soundtrack album is no longer in print these can only be heard in the movie. The best is Martin's arrangement of "This Boy", which becomes a theme for Ringo. The fireworks are of course reserved for the finale, when The Beatles perform for a hall packed with screaming teenage girls. Brilliantly edited, it helped ignite the pandemonium of Beatlemania -- American kids yelled and cheered in film screenings as well.
A Hard Day's Night made us think we were privy to the 'true' personalities of the Beatles. It places the four non-actors in such familiar situations that they often seem to be 'behaving' more than acting. Today an entire PR company would be in charge of the spin given the Beatles' image, but in this movie those decisions seem to have been arrived at by pure professional insight. The boys are mostly kept away from their hordes of star-crazed fans, leaving their status vaguely 'available' -- no girlfriends (or wives) are in evidence to make the average female fan feel resentful or inadequate. The tearful, hysterical girls that pour out their hearts at the finale are a phenomenon that the Beatles couldn't deal with individually, so the only recourse was to be remote Gods of music. The movies flattened and scrubbed Elvis into a boring self-parody, but with intuitive marketing savvy (no committee, no focus group) the Beatles' renown was amplified a hundred-fold. United Artists got an incredible bargain, but the Beatles became superstars bigger than anything Hollywood had seen in decades.
The hotel staff, reporters, and television personnel are wildlife naturally found in the Beatles' habitat. Amusing Wilfrid Brambell gets major screen time, and luckily isn't too distracting. His character gives the boys someone to bounce off of and argue with. Grandfather's sour, caustic attitude also provides a baseline to insure that the Beatles' constant snippy remarks don't come off as cynical. The neurotic fashion exec (Kenneth Haigh) doesn't recognize George and tries to squeeze him as a resource for 'what the kids think'. The scene shows the Beatles transcending marketing hogwash mainly by ignoring it. George is soon shown the door, but not before introducing a new word to the lexicon: grotty.
This one movie is perhaps the greatest national advertisement England ever exported. Contrasted with the violent divisiveness blanketing the news media here in the States, that island looked like Utopia. The police were sweet and thoughtful. Everyone was into rock music (sure they were...) and Youth seemed to rule all. The film gave American fans their first chance to see what the Beatles were like. It differentiated them by type: the cute one, the cool one, the quiet one and the funny one. With modifications, these public images stayed the same throughout their partnership. The frustration came when the Beatles attempted to evolve beyond the public images so firmly established here.
The Criterion Collection's Blu-ray + DVD of A Hard Day's Night is a definitive edition of this beloved rock musical. The B&W HD transfer pulls everything out of Gilbert Taylor's marvelous images, transporting us back to the days when everything from England seemed perfect -- even if civilians in the street are almost always wearing raincoats.
A DVD from 2002 had vandalized the film's audio mix by replacing the song tracks with stereophonic versions. Criterion's new release offers three audio choices, an original monaural track plus new stereo and 5.1DTS-HD Master Audio surround mixes, all uncompressed on the Blu-ray.
The new disc has overcome another limitation of the older DVD extras -- Criterion is able to use Beatles music where appropriate, out of context with the film itself. A 2002 commentary offers filming memories from cast and crewmembers, but the Collection's excellent video extras are a comprehensive resource. In Their Own Voices (18 minutes) edits Beatle interview material to produce an opinion montage about the making of the film. You Can't Do That is a 1994 anniversary docu that includes an outtake of a Beatles song. Things They Said Today assembles an excellent compendium of interviews, stills and clips. As it is also from the 2002 DVD, no Beatles music is heard. Helpful little arrows identify marginal actors and personalities in the clips. Richard Lester has the best quote: "They told me I was the father of MTV. I wrote back and demanded a blood test."
In Anatomy of a Style the film's story editor and music editor discuss the treatment of the musical sequences. Picturewise is a thoughtful video essay on Richard Lester by David Cairns, narrated by Rita Tushingham. Beatles biographer Mark Lewisohn's The Road to A Hard Day's Night is an absorbing, concise history of the quartet from their teenaged beginnings up until the production of their first movie. The final video extra is Lester's Oscar-nominated The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film (1960), a short comedy made with The Goons. Two reissue trailers are included as well.
The fat insert booklet (80 pages) contains an essay by Howard Hampton and interview excerpts from director Lester. Criterion's disc producer is Kim Hendrickson.

Elizabeth and Michael
By Donald Bogle
One of the country's leading authorities on popular entertainment presents an eye-opening and unique biography of two larger-than-life legends--Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson--and their unlikely yet enduring friendship.
From the moment Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson met, they were hooked on each other. He peered into her violet eyes and was transfixed; she, in turn, was dazzled by his talent, intrigued by his sweet-tempered childlike personality, and moved by the stories she had already heard about his troubled early life. Soon a deep friendship blossomed, unexpectedly unlike anything either had ever experienced. Through thick and thin, through their various emotional upheavals, through the peaks and valleys of their careers, through their personal traumas and heartaches, through the unending health issues and extreme physical pain that each experienced, and through the glare of the often merciless public spotlight, their bond held them together, and their love for each other endured.
Donald Bogle skillfully recreates the moving narrative of Taylor and Jackson's experiences together and their intense emotional connection, without shying away from the controversies that swirled around them. Through interviews with friends and acquaintances of the two stars, as well as anonymous but credible sources, Elizabeth and Michael emerges as a tender, intimate look at this famous "odd couple" and a treasure to their millions of fans.

Robert Wagner's I LOVED HER IN THE MOVIES: Memories of Hollywood's Legendary Actresses
By Robert Wagner and Scott Eyman
In a career that has spanned over sixty years, Robert Wagner has witnessed the twilight of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the rise of television, becoming a beloved star in both film and TV. During this time, he became acquainted, both professionally and socially, with many of the greatest female screen personalities of all time. I LOVED HER IN THE MOVIES: Memories of Hollywood's Legendary Actresses (On-sale: 11/15/16) by Robert Wagner, with co-author Scott Eyman, provides an intimate and revealing account of the charisma of these women on film, why they became stars, and how their specific emotional and dramatic chemistries affected the choices they made both as actresses and as women.
I LOVED HER IN THE MOVIES offers a privileged look behind the scenes at some of the most well-known women in show business. Among Wagner's subjects are Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Swanson, Norma Shearer, Loretta Young, Joan Blondell, Irene Dunne, Rosalind Russell, Dorothy Lamour, Debra Paget, Jean Peters, Linda Darnell, Betty Hutton, Raquel Welch, Glenn Close, and the two actresses whom he ultimately married, Natalie Wood and Jill St. John. In addition to offering perceptive commentary on these women, Wagner examines topics like the strange alchemy of the camera--how it can transform the attractive into the stunning, and vice-versa--and how the introduction of color brought a new erotic charge to movies--one that enabled these actresses to become aggressively sexual beings in a way that that black and white films had only hinted at.
Robert Wagner is the star of such films as A Kiss Before Dying, The Longest Day, The Pink Panther, and most recently, the Austin Powers franchise. On television, he starred in It Takes a Thief (with Fred Astaire), Switch (with Eddie Albert and Sharon Gless), and Hart to Hart (with Stefanie Powers). He has recently appeared on Two and a Half Men and NCIS. He is married to actress Jill St. John.
Scott Eyman is the author of eleven books about the movies, including Lion of Hollywood: The Life of Louis B. Mayer (which the Wall Street Journal called one of the five best books ever written about Hollywood), Empire of Dreams: The Epic Life of Cecil B. DeMille, and more recently, John Wayne: The Life and Legend.

King of Jazz: Paul Whiteman's Technicolor Revue
King of Jazz: Paul Whiteman's Technicolor Revue tells the story of the making, release, and restoration of Universal's 1930 Technicolor extravaganza King of Jazz. Authors James Layton and David Pierce have uncovered original artwork, studio production files, behind-the-scenes photographs, personal papers, unpublished interviews, and a host of other previously unseen documentation. The book offers a richly illustrated narrative with broader context on the film's diverse musical and theatrical influences. The story concludes with an in-depth look at the challenges Universal overcame in restoring the film in 2016. Additionally, the book's appendix provides a comprehensive guide to all of the film's performers, music, alternate versions, and deleted scenes.
King of Jazz was one of the most ambitious films ever to emerge from Hollywood. Just as movie musicals were being invented in 1929, Universal Pictures brought together Paul Whiteman, leader of the country's top dance orchestra; John Murray Anderson, director of spectacular Broadway revues; a top ensemble of dancers and singers; early Technicolor; and a near unlimited budget. The film's highlights include a dazzling interpretation of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," which Whiteman had introduced to the public in 1924; Walter Lantz's "A Fable in Jazz," the first cartoon in Technicolor; and Anderson's grand finale "The Melting Pot of Music," a visualization of popular music's many influences and styles. The film is not only a unique document of Anderson's theatrical vision and Whiteman's band at its peak, but also of several of America's leading performers of the late 1920s, including Bing Crosby in his first screen appearance, and the Russell Markert Dancers, who would soon become Radio City Music Hall's famous Rockettes.
James Layton is Manager of the Museum of Modern Art's Celeste Bartos Film Preservation Center. Prior to this he worked at George Eastman House in Rochester, NY, where he curated two gallery exhibitions and the website Technicolor 100. Layton has also acted as Cataloguer and Workflow Coordinator at the East Anglian Film Archive in Norwich, UK, and is co-author of the Image Permanence Institute's informational poster Knowing and Protecting Motion Picture Film (2009).
David Pierce is an independent film historian and archivist. He was formerly the Head of Preservation and Curator of the National Film and Television Archive at the British Film Institute. His articles have appeared in numerous journals, and his report on the survival of American silent feature films was published by the Library of Congress in 2013. He founded the Media History Digital Library, providing free online access to millions of pages of motion picture magazines and books.

Press Release
IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER at NYC's Film Forum Celebrating Betty Comden's Centennial, 5/3
Gene Kelly & Stanley Donen's It's Always Fair Weather, starring Kelly, with music by André Previn and screenplay and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, will have a special screening at 8:15 pm at Film Forum on May 3, the 100th anniversary of Betty Comden's birth. The screening will be introduced by Green's daughter, actress, singer, and Tony-nominated lyricist/songwriter Amanda Green.
Born Basya Cohen to Russian immigrants in Brooklyn on May 3, 1917, Betty Comden first attracted attention as part of the Revuers, a theater troupe comprised of herself, Judy Holliday, Leonard Bernstein, and Adolph Green, which performed to acclaim at the Village Vanguard in Greenwich Village. Her first Broadway show was 1944's On the Town with Green, Bernstein, and choreographer Jerome Robbins - besides writing the book and lyrics (including the iconic "New York, New York"), she and Green also co-starred in supporting roles.
In the late 1940s, Comden and Green went Hollywood, where they wrote screenplays for classic films like Singin' in the Rain and The Band Wagon. Even after the move to Hollywood, the team continued to write lyrics for Broadway, teaming with many of American musical theater's most important composers, including Bernstein (Wonderful Town), Jule Styne (Bells Are Ringing, Subways Are Sleeping, Fade Out - Fade In, Hallelujah, Baby!), and Cy Coleman (On the Twentieth Century, The Will Rogers Follies). Her final public appearance was at Film Forum.
35mm. Approx. 102 Min.

87 reviews | 2.5 out of 5
I have owned this vacuum for about an hour now, and I must say I am very satisfied with my purchase! I live in a small appartment with 3 pet rabbits, whom for a few hours a day I let roam free around my house. The youngest one is not yet litter trained like my older two, and I have been without a vacuum for a few days and I just got tired of picking up rabbit pellets everywhere.
I went to Walmart just to pick up an affordable one, and came home with this. I was a bit skeptical, bc I have read the reviews, and was wary at first, but after using it one time, my worries went away! It picked up about 3 inches maybe more of dirt and fur and pellets with excellent suction. And that is just me vacuuming very quickly to try it out. In fact, It has only been two days since I last vacuumed so I was quite surprised how much dirt was in my carpet! It is very lightweight for me, as My old one was massive and took a lot of effort to pick up and push around, ( i am currently 9 months pregnant) so it was also very relieving.
It is made out of very light plastic, but I expected that with the price. It doesnt bother me at all.
I don't use the hose on vacuums a lot, but I tested it out and it worked fine for me. suction was just as great.
Overall, I am very happy I bought this product. I think it is wonderful for small appartments like mine! (2 bedroom)
I say try it out for yourself, and dont let the bad reviews scare you!
If I had used this vacuum before I bought it I never would have bought it. It is the most user UNfriendly vac I have ever used! and I am a senior citizen and have used several from Kirby to Dyson. I bought this little vac to use upstairs so I did not have to take my bigger one up and down. First of all, why the brush has to roll when using the hose I can't figure. Poor planning, I immediately sucked something up it while trying to vacuum hose the drapes, and burned up the belt! So back to wal-mart for a belt ( since no extra one came with it). It refuses to stay in the upright position when using the belt, the hose slips out a lot when NOT using the belt, but using the base part. It is very inconvenient and if I had my receipt and not so much time had passed, I would bring the darn thing back. It is very annoying. The suction power is great when you are not having to deal with everything else staying in place! I rate this a poorly designed cleaner. Very disappointed in Dirt Devil.
Vac was purchased three months ago to this day. As for suction the vaccum does an alright job on bare floors. Carpeted rooms you will have to go over a few times. I kept the filters clean and emptied the canister every time before I vaccumed. Noticed a steady decline in suction power though till today.
As for the brushes they do an alright job, but with any vac don't get close to any thing thats going to be rolled up in them. Wished the hose was a little longer, it's a pain going around baseboards or walls as the vacuum always wanted to fall over.
All in all don't waste your time or money on this vac. I was just using it a few minutes ago and it let out a loud pop and groan and then the motor just died. The motor never would start back so I turned it on it's side and nothing was caught in the brushes. My speculation is internal motor failure because the underside was extremely hot. Almost to the point of melting the plastic casing.
I've used this vac sparingly and never mistreated it. Seems to be constructed fairly cheaply so don't bother wasting your time or money!
I bought this vacuum to try for myself but I must agree this vacuum is not worth the money at all. The suction is horrible also; It picked up don't get me wrong I saw it in the dispenser but after I tried my daughters college Bissell right after I vacuumed it left a lot that I thought was picked up and cleaned. The cheap Bissell vac for 20.00 had more suction than this.I gave this product two stars since I loved the fact that the filter was reusable and the handle folded down to save space. The belt broke after a month of use as mentioned in another users reviews(not sure when theirs broke#. Called customer service and they wanted to charge me for it saying I may have rolled over something to break it and I'm thinking really. After talking ended up getting the belt for free#one time thing). The belt came quickly but now the vacuum is louder than before...so I'm thinking maybe I put it on wrong or something so I had someone else check it but no its on correctly. I hate this thing and I want my money back but I could not find my receipt so I'm stuck with it.
My old vacuum no longer had any suction and I finally got tired of my carpet never looking clean so I needed to look at getting something new. I read the reviews for this vacuum and decided I would look at it in the store and compare it with others. After a little debate I ended up buying this vacuum with the intention that if I didn't like it then I would return it. I used it today for the first time and must say that I'm pretty pleased with my selection. There are a few parts that I think could be better. First the hose has the capability to extend, however the base of the vacuum is so light that if you even try to extend the hose, the base will topple over. I got around this by holding the hose in one hand and the vacuum in the other. For small jobs like mine this isn't a big deal, but it would most likely be a pain if you need to use the hose a lot. Also the attachments for hose feel like they come loose pretty easy so you'll have to keep re-securing them. That considered, the hose does have good power and did a great job getting along the edges and under the edge of furniture. The only other downside I found was the dirt bin is a little on the small side so I had to empty it fairly often. On the upside, this vacuum has incredible suction and leaves the carpet looking great. As mentioned in another review the path is a little narrower so it's good for getting between chair legs. All in all, I believe this is good vacuum and as of right now I don't plan on having to return it.
I was in need of a new vacuum & did a quick look online, at Wal-Mart.com, as i was intending to buy a vacuum from there as i don't want to spend too much money on a vacuum. This Dirt Devil caught my eye as it seemed to have what i need. The prior user comment did concern me a bit, until I got to the store & looked at it relative to others, & saw that the hose is actually quite comparable in size. I really like the fold down handle as i can store it away when not in use & it doesn't take up too much space. I think that feature sold me, plus i figure i could always return it if i don't like it. ... I've not had it for about 5weeks & must say i'm quite happy with my purchase, its quieter than my previous vac (i will not mention names), it came fully assembled, & its light weight. The dust bin is standard issue like most bagless vacuums. The hose has suction when you pull it from its nozzle, so there is no valve to change like i have seen on some. There is a filter, but you can tap it clean or rinse it, i've rinsed mine twice so far. The nozzle is maybe smaller than some more expensive ones, so it may take me more back & forth to clean my rooms, but i'm OK with that as it fits between the chair legs so it make cleaning easier for me, i don't have to move furniture around to vacuum in those spaces. & what initially tipped me to try the vacuum, the folding handle is great as i can put it in my closet, but doesn't take up too much room so i can have my shelve above it & not really waste much space. The hose picks up all the odds & ends that i need it too, so i'm not sure what was the other reviewer's issue, yes it won't suck up socks & shirts with the hose, but i don't want it to, though i have had to fish out of the dust bin my little one's lego blocks that the hose swallowed.
*You will need a Phillips Head screwdriver to clean this vacuum.*
This vacuum can work very well, however it does require an Extensive amount of Routine Maintenance that is not covered in the owners manual as well as the vacuum has a fundamental design flaw with the belt. The belt is situated in such a way that you will have to readjust it at least weekly or more or it will slip and either slide off or get cut by a piece of plastic (that is part of the housing). The vacuum does clog a lot, if you use it frequently you may have to clean it after each use (the first time you clean it may take about 45 minutes - as there are no instructions - after that it should take around 10 minutes). To clean the receptacle you just pop open the door as you would if you were dumping it, and remove the 2 screws on the first piece....remove it....then remove the other part by turning it. You are making sure there is no excess junk up in the top portion which will cause the vacuum to lose suction. After cleaning is complete, insert the first part, turn and then the second part and re-insert the screws and tighten.
To clean the roller/belt area you need to remove the 5 Phillips head screws from the bottom black plastic piece. Slide out the side of the roller first opposite the belt side, then the roller will easily come out and away from the belt. You do not need to remove the belt from the metal peg inside the housing unless there is junk around it or you just want to clean that area. (It can be tricky to get the belt back around the peg). Putting the belt back on in the proper position is important! There is a notch where the belt should go on the roller - BUT - you cannot put it there or as you will be able to see at this point the housing will cut the belt. There is a raised portion of the roller that is directly next to the notch where it looks like the belt should go and this is what the belt must go on. The obvious problem however is that there is nothing other than tension to hold the belt in this precise spot - hence the need for constant readjustment or at least checking regularly that the belt has not slipped. There is also a foam filter that requires washing and needs to air dry for about 24 hours. I just put a couple drops of dish detergent on it and rinsed it out under the kitchen sink's faucet. The foam filter is located on top of the Hepa Filter which is under the receptacle that you will see under the black filter guard that pops out and back in. You can do this as often as needed, I would recommend once a month though what I normally do now is just shake it and work all the dust out of it.
This Vacuum DOES work very well, BUT you will have to work hard just to maintain it! I cannot speak for other Dirt Devil models, but as for this one - don't buy it. It does work very, very well but it is very frustrating that I have to invest so much time into our vacuum. I just wish that Dirt Devil would have at least included some extra belts with the vacuum as well as a detailed maintenance manual.
I bought this vacuum in Feb of 2013 to only clean 3 small areas a day. By march it was at the service center bacause the motor got so hot it burned a hole through the top of the vacuum. Dirt Devil was wonderful, no questions asked. And sent a new replacment to the service center for me. I received it in April. NOW, I took the second back because it sucks up dirt then spits it back out the other side. I took it to the service center again, and the guy told me there's nothing he can do. It works the way Dirt Devil always works after a month or so. RUDE BUT TRUE. I again called the company and they have allowed me to purchase another type of vacuum off their site with the cost of the original off the cost of the new purchase. If only the products were as good as the service!
I had to return this after using this twice. I was quite disappointed in the quality and the poor suction. It is also very heavy to use. I bought it because Dirt Devil advertises that this is great for pet owners. I had the vacuum and even though you do not have to put it together (already assembled) it was very awkward to use. I really dislike that you had to bend over every time you went to bare floors to carpeting. The handle would not go down after I put it in the upright position and after using it twice, I could not empty the container. I had to return it back to Walmart full. They too could not get it to open. I am sure I got a lemon when I purchased it. I immediately purchased another brand at Walmart and am very happy. I paid a lot more, but it is worth every penny minus the headaches I received with this one. Quite disappointed and won't be buying another Dirt Devil. Save your money and do not buy this product.
Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. Bought this from store last week, for $49. Bought it to replace a Bissell That was 5 years old and constantly getting plugged, and no suction. This Dirt Devil Quick Power is fantastic. Tons of suction when I took hose off base and put hand up to it. It's pretty light and maneuverable. Now, I did have to make sure setting on base was put on "bare floor". On "high carpet" setting it wouldn't pick up a thing on my carpet. I'm just going to keep it "bare floor" setting for everything. Very pleased with purchase.
This vacuum isn't worth $5. You have to spend at least 1/2 hour to vacuum a regular size room, going over and over and over even small crumbs. The suction hose has such weak power, it doesn't pick up anything. If you need a vacuum bad and are short of money like I was when I bought this, you are seriously better off just taking a broom and sweeping your carpet. It will probably do a better job than this vacuum.
This vacuum cleaner is okay at best. I just bought it about 45 minutes ago, and I'm really not impressed with it's suction power/ability to pick things up off the carpet; especially for it being brand new! It could be that I have a higher pile shag-ish carpet, but I tried every level and I still had to continually go over and over and over things to get it to pick them up. (Which isn't great for me because I have a dog that constantly leaves strings from toys and stuff all over the carpet.) I'm going to attribute this vacuum not impressing me to the fact that I have shag carpet, so I wouldn't recommend it for people who have a thicker pile carpet in their homes.
I vacuum my house about every 2 to 3 days and this vacuum was ok until it stopped sucking up ANYTHING! It only lasted me about 4 month and I used it a total of 40 times and it busted!! Looking into purchasing another good vacuum! Looking at ratings online first before spending my money!!
We've had this vac for 1.5 yrs. There are 6 people & 2 dogs in our home so we use it a few times a week on a regular basis. The suction on this little thing was quite good as long as you keep the canister emptied. I would empty it after doing the 1st floor before taking it upstairs. The problems are the plastic components on the vac. I was lifting it to do a throw rug & bent the handle too far & broke the plastic that holds it. My hubby was able to put some screws in & those held fine. Next the plastic hinge went on the waste canister. We just emptied it from the top after that. Finally I guess I pushed sideways a bit too far on the handle & it cracked right by the on/off switch. Within a day the whole handle was broken off. What impresses me tho is this seemed to have the same suction up till the end. (The more expensive vacs we've had tend to lose suction after a time, which kinda defeats the purpose of vacuuming!) Debating about getting another one of these. They're a 3rd of the price of some but last a 3rd as long so money wise I think it's a wash. The suction would be the reason for getting another one. When I vacuum I want a clean floor as a result & this little dirt devil seemed to deliver that!
Great vacuum for the price. Wish it had a little bit more suction and a light, but an excellent value for the money.
Piece of garbage.. 4 months old and in the trash. I cleaned it every time I vacuumed, rinsed the filter etc. It won't pick up a spec of dust! AWFUL!!!!!
I bought this vacuum because I was looking to save a few dollars and thought that Dirt Devil was a reliable name as far as vacuums go. How bad could it be, right? Wrong! From day one it had poor suction. It would usually pick up bigger stuff but couldn't seem to get the littlest piece of lint off of the carpet. I would go over it 10 times and then end up picking it up myself in frustration.
After I'd had this vacuum about 2 months, it simply died in the middle of me using it and won't come back on. Now I'm back to searching for a new one and it definitely won't be a Dirt Devil. I'm going to spend a little more money and get something that will last longer than a few months!
I bought this over a year ago. It does a great job and is easy to use and to clean. I just have to empty the contents often to keep the spin going. We have 3 dogs so we have alot of pet hair. It's so easy to pop out the cannister and push a button over the trash can to get rid of the dirt. I love it and would buy again. And I used a Filter Queen for over 20 years....
I purchased this vacuum a few months ago, and am not pleased with it's performance.The suction is not very powerful, the hose would clog up every single time I used it, and it was difficult to unclog. Then I discovered there must be a short or something because when I am using the vacuum it will turn off all on it's own, then later when I try to turn it back on, it may or may not start. I would return it, but I discarded the packaging a couple weeks after I purchased it.
The fold down handle makes for easy storage.

Thank you for such a peaceful and relaxing stay. "Just Like Heaven" Is right! Your carriage house was just what we needed to recharge over the long weekend. From the cozy front porch to the gardens we really felt at home. Thanks for sharing your sanctuary ( & herbs ) with us.
~ Rella & Avi
This carriage house is very nice. It's comfy and cozy and just the right place for a nice respite.
Enjoyed my second visit to the Tea House as much as the first! Peaceful and tranquil, a wonderful little home tucked away from the world where you can go and rest, relax, slow down, and just find the time out of the city to gather your thoughts. The cottage is beautiful inside with lovely furnishings and the most comfortable bed ever! I spent each morning drinking organic coffee (provided by Ramana) in the screen porch listening to the birds all around; each evening a glass of wine enjoying the peace and quiet. I would totally recommend this cottage as a place to go to get away from it all. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Ramana and John for sharing this wonderful property with your guests. See you next time!
I just enjoyed a wonderful two night stay at this beautiful hideaway. The carriage house is exactly as described with an added touch of peace and magic! The cottage exudes a warmth and tranquility which very much mirrors the personality of its owner, Ramana. The decor is just lovely with every detail well thought out to make the stay feel special. The bed is so comfortable I slept for 9+ hours on my first night, something I never do! And sitting on the screened porch with a glass of wine in the evening, or a cup of organic coffee in the morning, listening to birdsong or welcoming visiting squirrels, was just priceless. Having a weekend in such a lovely location away from my "real life" was just great and what I needed - I hope to return again soon. Many thanks to Ramana and John for sharing their beautiful cottage.
Ramana and John were very welcoming upon our arrival. The cottage was cozy and well appointed. It was exactly as described in the listing. Every detail was thought out to make our stay special. Loved the handmade soaps and bath salts! The kitchen is well equipped if you would like to enjoy a meal at the cottage. The day we checked in was an especially rainy and chilly day. It was nice to have the electric tea kettle and an assortment of teas available to enjoy a cup of tea. Although we brought our own reading material, there was an array of different books at our disposal. If you are looking for a tranquil, warm and private place to stay, you will love being a guest at Just Like Heaven carriage house. Very glad that I did a little research on places to stay in Winchester and decided to stay at Ramana's lovely place. Thank you!
