Piwczyk Family & Parish Cemetery in Chrzanów
After spending a fantastic weekend with the Ciuk family in Sosnowiec, it was on to visit with my grandmother's Piwczykrelatives living in Chrzanów, Poland.
I met my father's first cousin Bronek Piwczyk & his wife Zofia with their son Radek after the short drive from Sosnowiec. A delicious meal was ready and waiting for my arrival. Radek's daughter (my second cousin once removed) has been in the States for almost 2 years working as a nanny & left her dog "Biscuit" with them to take care of. This is the second time I was able to say hello to Biscuit for her.
After a nice lunch, Bronek, Radek & I took a walk to the cemetery which is only a few blocks from their apartment. The parish cemetery is on one side of the road and the municipal cemetery is on the other side of the road. Both cemeteries have Plot maps at the entrance. There are some wonderful memorials and decorative graves in this cemetery and it is not as compact as some other cemeteries I have been to in Poland. There are a few graves of some famous Polish people buried there and they were pointed out to me, but I can not remember them. A thunderstorm was rolling in and we had to cut the visit short to get back to the safety of the apartment.
In the evening my second cousin Marek arrived with his wife and we all spent a wonderful evening visiting and reminiscing about our past visits. We actually had the opportunity to meet for the first time in 2006 when my father, brother and I traveled to Poland.

If we really wanted, we could look like the Victoria's Secret underwear models. It's just work/ Gossip Girl/ food/ the pub gets in the way. They've got expensive trainers! And don't eat! And er, they must be photoshopped!
Sadly, none of that is true. Erin Heatherton, Alessandra Ambrosio and Candice Swanepoel have made a series of online videos demonstrating how they're getting in shape for the next Victoria's Secret show on 4 December - although, admittedly, they're starting from a better place than us.
This week, they're concentrating on their abs and glutes. Yes, their perfect bums will be getting even more perfect and yours will too. Maybe. They're trained by personal trainer Justin Gelband, who seems both strict and to not care one bit that he's watching three models sweat in tiny clothes.
The videos are all on their Facebook page , and they'll be adding another video each week until the catwalk show on 4 December, where they'll parade around in their underwear in front of Justin Bieber, Rihanna and Bruno Mars, who are performing.
We'll step away from our 3.30pm chocolate and get inspired by these pictures, then ...
And if you need more gossip, NOW, then come right this way to our live blog.

The best 7-passenger SUVs are those which are able to replace not just a family sedan but also a minivan via their people-moving and cargo-hauling capacity. With one more row of seating than a traditional fullsize car, and with greater ground clearance and available all-wheel or four-wheel drive - a rarity on the minivan market - 7-passenger SUVs straddle the line between several segments. This makes them amongst the most versatile high capacity vehicles available, and explains their stunning popularity in the United States. Let's take a look at 10 of the best 7-passenger SUVs that money can buy.
10 Best 7-Passenger SUVs
10 Best 7-Passenger SUVs
2017 Audi Q7
Audi's glam SUV, redesigned for 2017, is a mechanical sibling to both the Volkswagen Touareg and the Porsche Cayenne. As of launch, the 2017 Q7 comes with a single powertrain, a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 333 horsepower. The Q7 features Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system and an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. Historically, the Q7 has offered a choice of several different engines, so new options are likely in the near future. The Q7's passengers are treated well, with 3 rows of seating, a sophisticated cabin design and high-quality materials, as well as a thoughtful list of standard and optional safety features.
2016 Mazda CX-9
The Mazda CX-9 is the 7-passenger SUV of choice for drivers who don't want to sacrifice handling and fun in the name of high capacity hauling. The redesigned 2016 Mazda CX-9, which also offers generous interior storage space, is one of the few large crossovers that truly feels in touch with the road. Its handling complements its sporty styling, and the 250-horsepower, 2.5-liter 4-cylinder that is standard with each and every CX-9 does a good job of keeping acceleration in line with expectations. All-wheel drive can be ordered with the Mazda suv, and fuel economy shows as 20 mpg in stop-and-go driving and 28 mpg on the highway.

2016 Mercedes-Benz GL
When money is no object, the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL series is a great way to cruise around with 6 lucky friends. It's the biggest SUV in the Mercedes lineup, offering 3 rows of seating wrapped in plenty of decadence, like real wood trim, lots of leather, and high-end electronics. There are 4 distinct models under the GL badge, each featuring its own engine paired to a 7-speed automatic transmission. They range from the GL 350, which is a 6-cylinder turbodiesel with 240 horsepower, to the top-of-the-line GL 63 AMG that boasts 550 horsepower. Every 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL comes equipped with all-wheel drive.
2016 Acura MDX
The 2016 Acura MDX almost seems like it was specifically designed to be a minivan alternative. It offers spacious and convenient transportation for a large family, and it's powered by a newly direct-injected version of Acura's steadfast and reliable 3.5-liter V6 engine, putting down a competent 290 horsepower. A 9-speed automatic transmission is new for 2016. The MDX comes standard with front-wheel drive, but there's an all-wheel drive system available as an upgrade for better control, handling and comfort. Inside, the MDX provides some cool little features on all 3 rows of seating for great flexibility and accessibility.

2016 Land Rover LR4
The 2016 Land Rover LR4 not only delivers the kind of high end luxury that buyers have come to expect from the British brand, but the 7-passenger SUV also features off-road chops that are simply missing from the vast majority of its premium competitors. The Land Rover LR4 comes with full-time 4-wheel drive as well as the Terrain Response system that matches the SUV's traction control, engine, transmission, and other system parameters to the surfaces that the vehicle is traveling over. The LR4 is powered by a 3.0-liter supercharged V6, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission, for 340 horsepower. It's almost as quick as the recently discontinued V8 LR4, and gas mileage is a little better at 15 mpg city and 19 mpg on the highway.

2016 Dodge Durango
The 2016 Dodge Durango mixes old-school SUV toughness with a compliant unibody platform borrowed from the lauded Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Dodge Durango's 7-passenger seating is complemented by 84.5 cubic feet of cargo space, and its rear-wheel drive layout is rare in a crowd of front-wheel drive contenders (though all-wheel drive can also be ordered with the Durango). Those who plan on using the Durango primarily for passenger purposes will be content with the 290-horsepower, 3.6-liter base V6, while anyone looking to tow a load of up to 7,400 lbs will be more comfortable with its available 5.7-liter Hemi V8's 360 horsepower. The Durango features an 8-speed auto transmission borrowed from the Jeep lineup, and for 2016, V6 models are offered with a fuel-saving stop/start system. Fuel mileage is understandably stronger with the V6, and is listed at 19 mpg around town and 27 mpg on the highway.
2016 Nissan Pathfinder
The 2016 Nissan Pathfinder is one of the more competitive options for people-hauling, with good fuel economy and drivability. The Pathfinder is compliant over rough pavement, and it also provides close to 80 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear rows out of the picture. The 2016 Pathfinder is powered by a 260-horsepower V6 displacing 3.5 liters, and thanks in part to a continuously variable automatic transmission, the vehicle returns fuel mileage of 20 mpg city and 25 mpg on the highway, which is very good for this class. All-wheel drive is, of course, available as an option with the Nissan.
2016 Hyundai Santa Fe
Don't mistake the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for the Santa Fe; while the latter has the coveted third row of seating, the former offers only 2. The 2016 Santa Fe is a popular midsize SUV that's known for its long list of standard equipment. The Santa Fe is powered by a 3.3-liter V6 engine that provides 290 horsepower, which is paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission, and it's available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. Add in Hyundai's solid warranty, and the 2016 Santa Fe looks even more like a really good option for family travel.

2016 Ford Flex
The 2016 Ford Flex offers all of the utility of a big 7-passenger SUV wrapped in a package that looks far more like a tall wagon than a crossover. The Ford Flex's box-like styling isn't for everyone, but it definitely stands out from the rest of the sport utility pack. The Flex also happens to come with excellent handling for such a large vehicle, as well as unusual options like a 2nd-row refrigerator that sits between the available captain's chairs. On top of its 83 cubic feet of total cargo space, the Ford features the choice of two V6 engines: a 287-horsepower, 3.5-liter unit, and a turbocharged version of that same mill that churns out a stout 365 horses. The latter EcoBoost model comes with standard all-wheel drive (a feature which is optional with the naturally-aspirated V6), and fuel mileage for the entry level motor is listed at 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
Photo Credit: Infiniti
2016 Infiniti QX80
The Infiniti QX is a behemoth of a luxury SUV, a vehicle that looms over other 7-passenger options with its ostentatious styling and its sumptuously appointed and recently upgraded interior. The Infiniti QX80 can be had in both rear-wheel and 4-wheel drive versions, and is powered by a 400-horsepower, 5.6-liter V8 engine. The towing capacity of this giant shows as 8,500 lbs. The Infiniti delivers fuel economy of 14 mpg in stop-and-go driving and 20 mpg on the highway.

Mark Bartelstein, agent for former Duke standout Jon Scheyer, said the guard will not attend the Utah Jazz's upcoming training camp.
It was reported Thursday that Scheyer had accepted an invitation to compete for a roster spot with the Jazz.
The 6-foot-5, 190-pound Scheyer averaged 18.2 points and 4.9 rebounds last season, leading Duke to the NCAA men's basketball championship.
As a four-year player under Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski, Scheyer was projected as a late second-round pick during the 2010 NBA Draft. He was not selected, though. A Summer League opportunity for Scheyer with Miami was then derailed after two games, when he suffered an eye injury.

The stars for Egypt at Ellis Park were Mohamed Aboutrika, Mohamed Hommos and Essam Al Hadari.
The 30-year-old Aboutrika, who plays for Al-Ahli, is widely regarded as the best player in the world not playing in Europe. The playmaker followed up on his spectacular game against Brazil by causing problems for Italy in the first half.
It was from his corner kick with five minutes to play in the first half that Hommos, also 30, headed home for the game's only goal.
In the second half, the 36-year-old Al Hadari held off an Italian assault, making four brilliants saves. The one time he was beaten he was saved by the bar on Vincenzo Iaquinta's shot with just minutes remaining
"This is a great result," Egypt coach Hassan Shehata told Reuters. "We had a good game against Brazil technically but the result did not go our way. But this gives us great hope for the semifinals."
The only bad news for Egypt was the hamstring injury suffered by striker Mohamed Zidan, who scored twice against Brazil in the 4-3 loss in their opening group game.
Zidan's status for Sunday's game against the USA was uncertain.
The USA needs to beat Egypt by three goals and then get help from Brazil with a win by three or more goals over Italy to move into next week's final four.
June 18 in Johannesburg
Egypt 1 Italy 0. Goal: Hommos 40.
Italy -- Buffon, Zambrotta, Chiellini, Cannavaro, Grosso, Gattuso (Montolivo 57), De Rossi, Pirlo, Quagliarella (Pepe 64), Iaquinta, Rossi (Toni 57)
Egypt -- El Hadari, H.Said, Fathi (Hassan 80), A.Said, Gomaa, Moawad (Farag 69), Aboutrika, Shawky, Abd Rabou, Hommos, Zidan (Eid 56)

STAGE TUBE: Meet William M. Griswold, New Director of the Cleveland Museum of Art
The Cleveland Museum of Art has named Dr. William M. Griswold new Director. Check out his video message below!
In May 2014, Dr. William M. Griswold became the 10th director of the Cleveland Museum of Art since its founding in 1916. Dr. Griswold enters the life of the museum at a dynamic moment - with a newly completed expansion project increasing its capacity and significance, and a centennial anniversary approaching. His ambition is to build the museum's strong relevance throughout the region, the nation and the world, capitalize on its long-standing community engagement legacy and enhance the quality and breadth of its well-known collection.
Dr. Griswold's tenure at the Cleveland Museum of Art follows his term as the fifth Director of The Morgan Library & Museum since the institution's founding in 1924. During his seven years of leadership there, Dr. Griswold spearheaded the growth of the Morgan's collections, exhibition program and curatorial departments, most recently adding Photography as a focus. He oversaw a number of important exhibitions and scholarly exchanges with leading international museums, including the Louvre, London's Courtauld Institute, Munich's Graphische Sammlung and Turin's Biblioteca Reale.
In 2010, Dr. Griswold initiated the first interior restoration of the Morgan's historic McKim building since its construction as Pierpont Morgan's private study and library more than a century ago. He also oversaw a project to digitize the Morgan's renowned collections, beginning with its holdings of drawings and music manuscripts, two of its most important. In 2011, he supervised the establishment of the innovative Morgan Drawing Institute to advance the study of drawings of all periods and schools. As a result of these initiatives, and many more, the Morgan over the last several years has seen some of the most robust donor support and attendance in its history.

engine rails should be here Thursday, they missed polishing one side.
I drove down there last spring and looked around, not much to see from
the road,
I have a list and 15 days before Labor Day Weekend
with a little luck and a few late nights my boat just might see water
by then.
STANDARDS???? I don't have any STANDARDS just OCD

well how was it? A few friends from Roswell go there and love it.
thanks you i havent had mine very long, i had it on the water for a little while but broke a steering cable and since it was down i went ahead and pulled all the interior and put all new top end gaskets on the motor, thought i had a blown head gasket but turns out i found out the hard way that you hafta run a check valve on the water injection on the headers, so after a couple hundred dollars of gaskets and check valves im all back together and my interior should be done today or monday at the latest. good luck to you guys hope yall have a great weekend. hopefully il see yall out there sometime.il be down there on the 28th or 29th of this month.
Thanks Again!! We are looking forward to the trip! Nice Boat BTW! I take it you've got it all done and on the water?
well the one thing i dont realy like about this lake is there isnt realy any houses on this lake. there is only one dock and it is the one owned by the parks. and there is a 30 min docking time limit. there is an rv park down the road from the park but it is not on the water. i realty wish there was a way to keep the boat in the water and have some time to bbq and relax but i have not found an area like that yet, yes it is quite a big fishing lake and have encountered many dirty looks from the fisherman, but they do let you run over transom headers on this lake as long as you have water injection and baffles. so this is the only reason i continue to go to this lake other than its quite clean water. all in all its not a bad lake just no beaches or anything to hang out and beach the boat or anything. i mainly make day trips to this lake because of the inability for me to stay on the water, to me that takes all the fun out of taking a couple day trip. i hope yall have a great time. lemmy know if yall have any problems, oh and the entry fee is 8$ for your boat and 8$ per person you bring in with you, this is y i say its usualy between 30-40$ for me to get in for the day.
Cool!! Thanks for the heads up- I guess things really are bigger in Tx! 30-40 bucks! I guess I'm used to NM state parks @ $5 for a day use (40 for an annual pass!) We are really looking forward to it. We normally stay local at Brantly north of Carlsbad, and a week in Parker Az (grew up going there) but my wifes family is now in Hereford so we are looking for something within reasonable distance from everyone.
From what we have found (nothing) on the net. are there any places on the lake to stay? homes, trailers for rent? It looks like the camp ground has no hookups either. That will be one of my missions on this trip too- I'm sure the Best Western in Post is great, but a place where we could keep the boat in the water, and still get the little ones a good afternoon nap- that would be perfect!
Also everyone I have talked to seem to have a firm impression that it is mainly a fishing lake- if so, are we going to have to ignore dirty looks from the Bass boat club?
that is the lake i go to most often. it is a very clean lake, there is only one public boat launch/dock, but it is a nice one. bring cash its onaverage about 30-40$ for me to get in to the state park wich is where the public boat ramp is. there is one little cove that i know of that everyone goes and ties off and drinks some cold ones, also some cliffs in that cove to jump off of. if you leave the boat ramp and go to the right u will follow the main canal for a little while. if you keep an eye out you will see a littel cove on the left side where everyone hangs at. its hard to spot so just keep your eyes peeled, also the canal seems to fork befor you get there so stay to the left and you should have no problems getting there, also this side of the lake seems to stay alot more calm compaired to the other side where the dam is. hope yall have fun. wish i was gonna be there with yall this weekend but the ol sanger just isnt quite ready to go yet.
Who knows anything about Allen Henry- Post TX?
We are going to head there this weekend to check it out, anyone got any tips, andvise, do's, dont's, different launches, places to eat/ stay? Thanks!

Haley trial gets under way
The Terry Haley trial began on Tuesday. Haley is charged with criminal sexual penetration of minor under the age under the age of 13 and enticement of a child. CSP of a child under the age of 13 is a first-degree felony; enticement of child is a misdemeanor. The charges stem from an alleged incident that occurred in February 2010. The case had gone through Magistrate Court twice, in part due to a confusion in dates.
In her opening statement, Assistant District Attorney Debra Hutchins described the relationship the 12-year-old girl had developed with Haley as a friend, who took her and other children to church, to movies or invite them into his home to play games. Hutchins said he gave them gifts of jewelry and toys.
On the night to the alleged incident, Haley took the victim to a movie. "He picked her up … it got later and later. Around 12 o'clock (midnight) the family made calls and still no answer."
Hutchins noted it was four days before the victim confided to her family what had happened. Then she deferred to the victim. "Only she can make you understand what happened that night."
Defense attorney Gary Mitchell asked the jurors to pay attention to what the "evidence will show, or more frankly, will not show."
He pointed to confusion about the date of the incident. "Initially, all testified under oath that this occurred on Thursday (Feb. [auth] 11, 2010) night." A night, he stated, for which Haley had an alibi, having flown to Houston as part of a job where he bought Bibles for the children."
Mitchell said that Haley was popular with the neighborhood children and opened his home to them. The attorney said Haley had fallen asleep while the girl watched television and did not hear the phone when the family called. He argued that the incident "quite simply did not happen."
The State's first witness, the victim, took the stand and told the court that she and others went to church with Haley every Sunday and Wednesday for Bible study. She described their meeting through her friend. She also relayed a story when Haley brought the children to Roswell Mall. The victim testified she was looking at shoes, a pair of high heels, and she told Haley she wanted some, but her mother would not let her have them. Haley bought her the shoes.
On the night of the incident, she said Haley was supposed to take her and four other children to the movies. When he picked her up, the other children were not present. Haley said they would meet them at the theater. When they failed to arrive at the movie, he said that the others would meet them at his house. Haley then drove her to his house because he had a Valentine's Day present for her.
The victim then described the incident. She admitted to having gaps in her memory particularly about dates due to the medications she had been taking.
In cross examination, attorney for the defense James Lowry asked her about purported abuse she had suffered as a small child. She replied, "I might have said I was abused. … My dad left bruises…he was always beating my mom."
Lowry asked her about her medical conditions and the drugs she had taken during her childhood. He presented a list that included everything from drugs for anxiety disorders, pain medication to antibiotics and asthma inhalers.
She admitted she did not know what she had taken. She said if he could describe the drugs to her maybe she could tell him.
Hutchins objected to the line of questioning, citing relevancy of drugs she may have taken subsequent to the incident.
The victim said she could not remember all the medications she had taken. When he questioned her about her medical conditions and her memory, she replied, "I am not an animal, sir. … I don't have impulses I have to control."
Lowry also examined arguments she may have had with her parents. She said, "Of course, I argue with adults when I think I'm right and they are wrong." Later she added, "Teens fight everything."
Judge Charles C. Currier warned Lowry to keep his commentary to a minimum and to maintain relevancy as to time.
In redirect, Hutchins asked the victim if she had ever broken a bone that could have required pain medication. The girl reported she had broken her leg four times and sprained her wrist once. She also explained that it was her mother who administered the medications, so she never kept track of them.
In regards to her relationship with her mother, the victim said, "She was there when I needed her most."
The prosecution then called Dr. Karen Carson, pediatrician, who told the court she had 16 years of experience in pediatrics and 8 years of experience giving sexual abuse examinations with Esperanza House. She described the procedures and then reported the injuries she found during her examination of the victim.
Mitchell questioned Carson about a study conducted in 2007 where it was stated certain findings were not always indicative of abuse. Carson countered with a study conducted by Joyce Adams which suggested that specific injuries still were consistent with sexual abuse, although she explained she was familiar with the 2007 study where McCain concluded that in some cases, where even the subject admitted to guilt, the examination revealed no injuries.
The State brought in Celia McCraw, manager of Galaxy 8, who checked computer listings for the movie the victim said she had seen with Haley. McCraw testified that the movie started on Friday, Feb. 12, 2010, confirming the date of the incident.

Re: How to Calculatelength of an Spline curve between two points?
Assuming you want the distance between points at x1 and x2 *along the

dx = 0.001;
Sum[EuclideanDistance[{x, sp[x]}, {x + dx, sp[x + dx]}], {x, x1,x2,

In Xcode the build settings screen can be pretty daunting for some people, especially when you start iOS/Mac development. Knowing which settings to pick can be tricky, but I still see a lot of people that do this individually for each of their projects, which makes it easy to miss crucial build parameters you don't want to distribute your app without. Using a .xcconfig file is extremely useful for solving this problem, it is a type of file for determining build parameters, meaning you can have this file sitting in one spot and have each of your projects referencing it. If you need to make a build setting change to all your projects, you can just add it to this one file and the next time you compile each of the projects the change will be taken into account.
The file is key value based, each value determining what the build settings for that key is. If you have seen one of these files before you may have been even more confused than the original build settings screen, but its actually quite the contrary, even if you don't know any/all of the build setting keys (or values) you can easily create and maintain a .xcconfig file without any problems. In fact even a monkey could do it.
Start by opening the project you want to create a .xcconfig file for and add a new file. In the dialog that pops up select the Configurations Settings File. In the next screen give it a name and make sure the targets checkboxes are all unchecked, you don't want to include this in your app's bundle.
Now go to your project's info screen, under the configurations section expand the list until your find the target you want your scheme to apply to, then select it from the drop down box.
In your target's build settings check the 'levels' option, now you can see a list of all configurations, from default on the right all the way over to what the compiled setting will be on the left. Anything on the left will override the setting on the right. Xcode highlights the one that will actually be used in green.
Look for a build setting you want to add to your .xcconfig file in the build settings list, set it to the value you want it to be, then select that row, hit Command + C to copy, then push delete to get rid of your setting. I will use the iOS deployment target as an example. Go into your .xcconfig file and paste the contents of your clipboard. You will notice that you copied the key and value.
Now if you go back into your build settings you will see the config file's column and value for your new build setting.
Continue doing this until you have filled your .xcconfig file with all the build settings you need. Now you can just import this one file into all your projects and link it up to your target(s).

Hello all, I received my intake today. Upon lookng at it, I noticed the inner tube area has a rough cast finish. Being the guy I am, I want air to flow as smooth as possible.
So, will I disrupt any MAF scaling if I hone this thing out for smoother air flow? I'm not looking to widen the inner diameter or anything, just take down the rough spots. Thanx!

Mouse TNF-α Neutralizing (D2H4) Rabbit mAb binds to mouse TNF-α and neutralizes its cytotoxic effects. This antibody does not cross-react with human TNF-α or human LTA.Species Reactivity: Mouse
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant mouse TNF-α protein.
Neutralizing antibodies can be used to inhibit normal biological function through their binding to biological molecules. These reagents can be used to determine the effects that a particular molecule has in biological systems. Mouse TNF-α Neutralizing (D2H4) Rabbit mAb has been shown to neutralize the cytotoxic effects of TNF-α in L-929 cells in vitro with an ND50 in the range of 1-6 ng/ml.Endotoxin:
<0.1 EU/µg of antibody
TNF-α, the prototypical member of the TNF protein superfamily, is a homotrimeric type-II membrane protein (1,2). Membrane-bound TNF-α is cleaved by the metalloprotease TACE/ADAM17 to generate a soluble homotrimer (2). Both membrane and soluble forms of TNF-α are biologically active. TNF-α is produced by a variety of immune cells including T cells, B cells, NK cells, and macrophages (1). Cellular response to TNF-α is mediated through interaction with receptors TNF-R1 and TNF-R2, and results in activation of pathways that favor both cell survival and apoptosis depending on the cell type and biological context. Activation of kinase pathways (including JNK, Erk (p44/42), p38 MAPK, and NF-κB) promotes the survival of cells, while TNF-α-mediated activation of caspase-8 leads to programmed cell death (1,2). TNF-α plays a key regulatory role in inflammation and host defense against bacterial infection, notably Mycobacterium tuberculosis (3). The role of TNF-α in autoimmunity is underscored by research studies that show that blocking TNF-α action may be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease (1,2,4).

Had my new CW9 out yesterday, as well.
No failures whatsoever in it's first 200 rounds, and very accurate, as you've stated!
I like the trigger.....
Got the Kahr CW9 to the range tonight. First time to shoot it, new gun. At 7 yds, it was dead on in very, very tight groups. I shot 150 rds of Remington 115gr FMJ and 7 Corobon 90 gr +P JHP (one magazine).
Wow!! Guys were coming over to my booth and asking if I come to the range all the time. . . nope, first time out with the gun.
The only downside, the grip pattern wore my palm raw. I think I still have the pattern embedded in my right palm.
Also, the recoil spring guide showed signs of wear from the spring. Too much wear. It is grooved from the spring. I think I'll order a stainless guide rod from Kahr.
Overall, I was impressed. Gun can be dissasembled by hand, no tools. It shoots well, has a consistent trigger pull which keeps you from jerking the gun the instant before the shot. It is lightweight, right at 4 oz lighter than a Glock 26.
Had my new CW9 out yesterday, as well.
No failures whatsoever in it's first 200 rounds, and very accurate, as you've stated!
I like the trigger.....
But this thread is worthless without PICS!!!!!
I've had my CW9 for about a year or more. I absolutely love this pistol. Right out of the case I put about 200 rounds through it with very tight groups at 7yds. Very accurate. The size and weight is very comfortable for conceal carry. Fit and finish is excellent.
I love my CW9 - I've had mine a little over a year now, and have had no issues with it.
I just put a Hogue Handall Jr. on it, and it helps make that skinny grip a little easier to hold securely, and also makes the grip less uncomfortable after a lot of rounds.
murdoch, can you post a photo of your hogue handall Jr grips on your CW9?
Sure thing, I'll do that as soon as I get a chance.
Here you go - sorry for the crap pic. I just took it on the floor last night with my digital.
Kahr CW9 with Hogue HandAll Jr. grip. (And Speer Gold Dot 115gr +P HP's!)
You can see there's some room to shimmy the grip up or down as it fits you. Once you get this thing on, it ain't moving unless you want it to. Took it to the range last week, and it helped keep the grip from eating my hand up after 100+ rounds. No noticeable difference in accuracy, just a bit more comfort and easier grip.
Thanks for the pic. I think I'm gonna try one.
Thanks Murdoch for the photo. I will be getting one of those for mine. Looks like that is just what I need.
Yea, I think those Hogue handall jr.'s are less than 10 bucks, but trust me... it completely tranforms the way my P-9 feels in my hand! it is an awesome fit for the gun!! Try one, you won't be disappointed. I'd post a pic, but mine looks just like his CW-9 with it.
Got my stainless recoil guide today. It was labeled CW40 on the package. It fits but sticks out about 1/16" further than the original. If the spring wont eat it up, it's worth it to me. Don't feel like sending it back.
I got my Hogue Handall Jr. and put it on today. Much, much better!! If fits like you've got yours in the photo. Thanks again.
Also, I sent the stainless guide rod back to Kahy and am exchanging it for the correct one.
Glad you like it, and glad I could help! Just returning the favor for the advice and help I've received here. Good folks here.

Lehman's Archstone to raise $3.5 billion in closely watched IPO
By Ilaina Jonas
(Reuters) - Archstone Inc, the apartment building owner and developer owned by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc, said on Monday it plans to raise up to $3.45 billion in its initial public offering, making it the biggest U.S. commercial real estate IPO ever.
If the listing, which will be in the form of a real estate investment trust or REIT, takes place this year, it would be the third largest U.S. IPO of 2012, behind Facebook Inc and Banco Santander's Mexican unit.
Archstone's filing did not reveal how many shares the company planned to sell or the expected price. Some analysts have estimated the company's worth at about $16 billion but the company has been selling assets, making it difficult to value.
While Archstone has a large and highly attractive portfolio of properties, it also bears the dubious honor of being cited as one of the primary reasons behind Lehman's collapse.
Lehman's huge stake in the company, estimated at some $6 billion to $7 billion, and the eventual sale of that stake which must take place under the bank's bankruptcy exit plan may put off some investors.
"There's a lot of hair on this deal any way you want to slice it," said Andrew McCulloch, a senior analyst at Green Street Advisors.
Archstone will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker "ASN". As a REIT, it can avoid paying corporate level income taxes if it distributes at least 90 percent of its taxable income to shareholders in the form of dividends.
The IPO will also be closely watched as a barometer of how well other real estate companies, such as Blackstone Group LP's Hilton Hotels, could do in a public offering. Continued...

After seeing an 11-point lead morph quickly into a 3-point deficit, Bobby Johnson's Commodores roared back in the fourth quarter to win a thriller over Wake Forest, 24-20. Just when you thought Ol' Vandy was about to fold up its tent, as it has done so many times in the past, the Commodore defense came up with a big stop to seal a non-conference win before 25,384 at Groves Stadium.
"We hung on," was just about all an exuberantly drained Johnson could mutter as the final seconds ticked away. "We hung on!"
Before a national audience on ESPNU, the Commodores (1-0) won their first season opener since 1997, and their first road game since 2001. They withstood an sensational 254-yard rushing performance by the Deacs' Micah Andrews. More than anything else though, they seemed to banish the ghosts of Vanderbilt past to the anxiety closet, and get the 2005 season off to a memorable, rollicking start.
"I can't tell you how good this feels right now, after all we've been through," said senior tight end Dustin Dunning, who caught four passes for 46 yards. "It's been a long time coming. Finally, we're starting to see all of the hard work start to pay dividends."
Vanderbilt never really slowed down the Wake Forest offense, which, led by Andrews' devastating running and Benjamin Mauk's passing, blistered VU for 472 yards. But neither did the Deacons from the Atlantic Coast Conference ever really stop quarterback Jay Cutler, who spread the ball out to eight different receivers and finished with 276 yards passing and 89 rushing yards.
"It was a huge team effort," said Cutler, who deflected personal praise after amassing 365 yards of total offense and moving into second place on the all-time Vanderbilt list. "We were confident all night long."
The victory wasn't secure until, of all things, the replay officials announced a ruling on a desperation pass play. On fourth-and-28 from the Vanderbilt 48, Mauk launched a desperation pass to Chris Davis along the sideline. Vandy's Josh Allen deflected the ball, but Davis appeared to come down with it out of bounds. The officials ruled "no catch", and Vandy would get the ball back with 0:16 to play.
But hold everything... the video operator elected, for the first and only time of the night, to invoke the brand new instant-replay review option.
After about a 90-second delay, the P.A. announcer proclaimed the play would stand... and Vanderbilt fans let out a sigh heard all the way back to Nashville.
"I don't know who in the world voted in instant replay, but it about stopped my heart," joked Johnson later. (The SEC coaches approved the measure earlier this year in spring meetings, and Johnson had spoken in favor of it.)
Vandy had taken a 17-13 lead into the fourth quarter, but early in the fourth quarter the game appeared to be unraveling. Cutler threw his only interception of the night; a Ryan Plackemeier punt pinned Vandy at its own 1, and the Commodores couldn't move. Behind two long runs from Andrews, the Deacons completed a quick 41-yard drive to take a 20-17 lead.
The two teams exchanged punts, and Vandy got the ball back on the Wake 49 with 3:02 left. Then the fireworks: freshman Earl Bennett caught a Cutler pass and juked past a defender for a 28-yard gain. Three plays later, Vandy would score on a 5-yard Jeff Jennings run up the middle. Bryant Hahnfeldt's PAT made it 24-20.

Wake still had 1:48 in which to score ("We actually scored too quick" Johnson would say later), and crafty QB Mauk quickly maneuvered Wake into Vandy territory. The 1,000-plus Vandy diehards who had made their way into Groves Stadium could see this one crumbling before their eyes.
But not this time! On second-and-10 from the VU 30, defensive end Herdley Harrison sacked Mauk for an 18-yard loss. Mauk threw a long pass incomplete on third down, setting up the dramatic, official-reviewed play on fourth-and-28.
"I don't know what the official was reviewing," said senior corner Andrew Pace. "It looked like he was out. The official who was in position to make the call made the ruling that it was out, and I trusted his judgment! It turned out he was right, and I'm just glad he was, and that we got the win."
Before leaving the field, the Commodore players ran over to salute the fans who had followed them on the road. They then paused for a moment of silence to remember Kwane Doster, their teammate who had been murdered last December.

Chants of "Who you with?" poured from the raucous locker room. Commodore fans waited around for more than an hour to congratulate their heroes as they exited the locker room to board buses.
Wake Forest took the opening kickoff, drove 76 yards and scored first on a 34-yard field goal by Sam Swank. The Commodores answered with a 34-yard three-pointer of their own by freshman placekicker Bryant Hahnfeldt, and the first period ended with the score knotted at 3-3.
Cutler directed a 13-play, 78-yard scoring drive, capped by a 20-yard strike to Marlon White early in the second quarter. White leapt high to yank the ball away from a defender and landed on his bottom for Vandy's first touchdown of the season, giving Vandy its first lead at 10-3.
The Commodore defense gave up yardage in big chunks, mostly on Micah Andrews runs, but was able to keep Wake Forest off the scoreboard for most of the rest of the half. That is, until Mauk hit a streaking Kevin Harris for a 45-yard gain with time running out in the first half. The play, which went to the Vandy 5, set up Swank for a 22-yard field goal as the half expired that cut Vandy's lead to 10-6.
The Commodores would stretch their lead to 11 points with five minutes left in the third quarter, after Cutler directed a 96-yard scoring drive. Dunning's 30-yard pass reception up the middle was the big play, setting up a 10-yard Jennings run. But once again, behind the magnificent running of Andrews, Wake would answer with a clock-eating, 65-yard touchdown drive to make it 17-13 as the third quarter ended.
"I think Vanderbilt kept us off balance with their quarterback running the football," said Wake coach Jim Grobe. "I think as much as anything else they executed two or three really good plays."
The Commodores (1-0) face another road date Sept 10 vs. Arkansas, before returning home for a Sept. 17 home date against Ole Miss, the first of five consecutive home games. Wake Forest's (0-1) next foe is Nebraska in Lincoln Sept. 10.
Game Notes:
Senior Mac Pyle started at right guard and played his first game since his departure from the team in midseason 2004. Backup Nigel Seaman missed the game with a concussion.
Thursday's game was the first Division I-A football game ever televised by the six-month-old, college-oriented sports network, ESPNU.
Walk-on kicker Bill Robertson, a junior, handled kickoff duties for the Commodores, while Kyle Keown, a sophomore, did the punting. True freshman Bryant Hahnfeldt was perfect on his one field goal and three PAT attempts.
Earl Bennett got the nod as punt returner, but never touched the ball on returns.
Vandy has now won four straight meetings with Wake Forest and leads 5-3 in the all-time series. The two teams are not scheduled to meet again in the near future.

why not
i think haskindm is correct , why not have both ?, i do not think it is about saving , i think it is a stupidity , there is no reason not have both ,
if someone never open hood , why the rest of us have to be punished ? if someone does not care , do we have to be the same ?
i challenge can some one get official reply from BMW maker , the reason for not having both .
Benz maker have , and all luxury cars do have it ,
i give a prove of the stupidity , the 7 series until 2000 have in there screen a calender that displays date and day , in the new one's no day in the screen , is it saving ? if for any reason from any pocket , why not have it as option selection ?
i tell you another thing never expected, when the agent changed the firs oil change in my 7 series , found one screw missing from crank case , never installed as tech. explained , they forgot it . which caused the slowly leakage and electronics sensors did not read it , neither the display show any missing oil , i was given full level reading and engine giving noise .

Are You a Leg Man?
Just a reminder to mark your calendars: The Fellsmere Frog Legs Festival kicks off on January 15th and runs through the weekend to a grand finale at the Sunday Croaker Run. For my money Saturday the 17th looks like the best day to show if you're feeling competitive: three contests include Leap Frog, Hay Bale Tossing, and that perennial favorite, jalapeno eating (I think I might enter this one. I've heard the best way to prepare is to drink lots of gin.) But the real reason to hie over to the Frog Legs Festival is so you can eat enough frog legs to last you at least until next January 2010, along with an equal amount of alligator, grits, cole slaw, and hush puppies. There'll be music courtesy of Tribal Tongue, Cantastick, Surfin' Rascals, and The Lost River Gang so you can hop around afterwards.

NPR's Liasson: "[A]ny time there's a contentious exchange in the White House press room, it makes the press look bad"
Video ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN
Loading the player reg...
On the September 7 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume, National Public Radio (NPR) national political correspondent and Fox News political correspondent Mara Liasson stated that "any time there's a contentious exchange in the White House press room, it makes the press look bad."
Liasson's comment came in response to a video clip, aired by host Brit Hume at the top of the "All-Star Panel" segment of the show, depicting a heated exchange between White House press secretary Scott McClellan and NBC chief White House correspondent David Gregory during the September 7 White House press briefing. Liasson was NPR's White House correspondent throughout the Clinton administration.
From the September 7 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
McCLELLAN [video clip]: If you want to continue to engage in finger-pointing and blame-gaming, that's fine. We're going to engage --
GREGORY: Scott, that's ridiculous.
McCLELLAN: It's not ridiculous.
GREGORY: I'm not engaging in the attack. Don't try to accuse me of that.
McCLELLAN: No, everybody that watches this knows, David, that you're trying to engage in the blame game.
GREGORY: I am trying to engage?
McCLELLAN: Yes.
GREGORY: I am trying to engage?
McCLELLAN: That's correct.
GREGORY: That's a dodge. I have a follow-up question, since you dodged that one.
[End video clip]
HUME: And so it went at the White House briefing today for the second day in a row, questions and the sense from the White House that they won't consider anything that has to do with blame, something to be dealt with later on.
LIASSON: Now, in terms of that exchange between -- who was that, that was David Gregory and --
HUME: He's the guy from NBC.
LIASSON: Yeah. Look, any time there's a contentious exchange in the White House press room, it makes the press look bad. However, the question he asked before that exchange was, "Does the president have confidence in [Federal Emergency Management Agency director] Michael Brown?" Now, that is a standard question that's asked. So the question itself was completely legitimate. And Scott McClellan refused to answer it.

nice to meet you all, look forward to chatting all things BMW with you.
Hi all,
Just bougt 328i Coupe Auto 1998 to save me getting soaked through the winter, as I normally commute on a Triumph Daytona 955i. Had it 4 days and thoroughly enjoying the experience.
Welcome to the forum guys............
Hello All
Not done my intro yet so thought I'd give it a blast.
My names Chris (32yo) and I'm a recent first time BMW owner living in Manchester. Lookin forward to some serious Bimmer chat as I've just given up the 9-5 to become a full-time dad for my 12 month old boy Edward (The missus is a star!).
I bought my 323i coupe from my home town (Chesterfied) a few weeks ago and it drives great (thanks Steve). The idea was to downgrade from all the expensive oil burners I've had last five years so sold the Jaguar and banked the difference. Though the Jag was nice the BM drives just as good, even tough she's 10 years old Have done a few minor cosmetic issues thus far (emblems, wheel centres, leather re-con) still need to fix a couple paking dints / scratches and source some new mats.
Anyone recommend a top quality mat retailer or a good dent-man Manchester way? Also would you recommend I buy genuine or aftermarket mats?
(Mats now sorted from www.ambassadorcarmats.co.uk - Still need a dent-man though???)

So went to PeterVardy in Edinburgh to have a look at what they had (advert was tempting with free 12 warranty, emergency service and free MOT in a year)
Was back there this week to pick up my new car.

So had a nice 250 drive home up the A9 to get a feel for the car and it is brilliant. i am now in love with the car
Anyway hoping to have a look around and hopefully post a few pics.

Iconic French holiday firm Club Mediterranee looked set to fall into foreign ownership today after a local takeover bid was withdrawn, leaving Italian tycoon Andrea Bonomi in the driving seat.
Gallion, a consortium of Ardian, the former Axa private-equity businesses, and China's Fosun, said it had pulled out of the months-long bid battle and the French markets authority said Bonomi's €790 million (£633.1 million) offer could go ahead.
The fight for Club Med, the original creator of club-style beach holidays which was founded in 1950, has proved a body blow to the French who have struggled to prevent foreign takeovers of indigenous firms.
This was reinforced by the fact that since 2002 Club Med has been run by Henri Giscard d'Estaing, son of the former French president, Valerie. He had warned that Bonomi's bid, which also involves South African leisure tycoon Sol Kerzner, would put the firm "entirely in foreign hands".
But Serge Trigano, a former chief executive and son of the founder of Club Med, gave his backing to Bonomi's bid last month saying it was "more appealing and more interesting for shareholders". The Club Med board then recommended the bid.
Bonomi's bid is worth €21 a share against the withdrawn Ardian offer of €17.50 a share. Bonomi is already Club Med's largest shareholder with an 11% stake.
Under Giscard D'Estaing Club Med had attempted to move upwards into the luxury holiday market as competitors such as TUI and Thomas Cook moved into the holiday village space. But revenues and profits have fallen for several years.
German tour group TUI today said that it was set to top profit expectations for the current year after booming cruise and hotel sales in the third quarter.
It also said negotiations on the takeover of UK arm TUI Travel were progressing well ahead of the September 19 deadline.Reuse content

Air handler smell through vents
Hello everyone,
I own a Goodman ARUF049-00A-1B air handler which I've started having problems with this week.
A couple nights ago, I awoke to the smell of something burning through the A/C vents. I noticed that the airhandler was not blowing even though the compressor outside was on. I turned off the A/C at that point to be on the safe side.
The next day, I turned it back on. I could hear the compressor turn on outside. This time, the blower turn on as well. However, after about a minute, I started hearing a rhythmic whining sound coming from the air handler. The whining subsided...but I also noticed the fan began to slow down. After about 5 minutes the fan had come to a full stop even though the thermostat had not reached the temperature I set. I shut off the A/C and a few seconds later, the "burn smell" came through the vents again.
Does anyone know what it most-likely could be? The unit is about 7yrs old.
Thanks everyone!
blower motor or capacitor
Sent from my iPhone using DIY Forum
Yep. If the blower motor got hot enough to smell like something burning it's shot. Replace the motor and capacitor at the same time.

Mark McGuire
Along the Way
(Dead Oceans)
US: 4 Feb 2014
UK: 3 Feb 2014
Getting all nostalgic for new age music from the 1980s seems to currently be the hip thing for musicians of a certain age and musical disposition. And why not? If I were to say that I did not groove-out to Ray Lynch's new age classic Deep Breakfast when I was a lad and that I do not, even to this day, blast that stuff at neighbor infuriating volumes on any given Sunday afternoon, I would be a filthy, despicable liar. You might feel compelled to ask me, "do you own more than one Tangerine Dream LP from the late 1970s?" Yes indeed I do.
There is very little doubt in my mind that the musician under current consideration, Mark McGuire, also enjoys some '80s new age music and '70s synth, when he is not busy getting bored and annoyed with people making obvious jokes about his sharing a name with a famous, roided-out baseball player. Is it possible that part of Mark McGuire's appeal is that he allows listeners to imagine that Mark McGuire the musician and Mark McGwire the baseball player are really one and the same person? That listeners get the giddy, hallucinatory pleasure of imagining this hulking, freakish, testosterone spectacle in an Oakland A's uniform jamming out to guitar loops and fiddling with various synthesizers? Maybe Jose Canseco will stop by and do a theremin solo. Is this part of the same '80s nostalgia that makes the musician Mark McGuire appealing? I can't say for sure, but Mark McGuire's new record Along the Way is pretty cool, while also suffering somewhat from its own warm, fuzzy, feel-good tendencies.
The album flutters away into loopy, electronic soundscapes featuring plenty of effects laden guitar loops and warm, non-oppressive digital beats. This is not a radical departure from either McGuire's previous solo records, or his work with his old band Emeralds, but Along the Way tends to exude a sense of happy-go-lucky comfort and sunny amiability, that will either totally suck you in, or make you roll your eyes a little bit, depending on your state of mind. Although I like feel good music as much as the next person, Along the Way sometimes sacrifices intensity for the sake of warmth.
With song titles like "Wonderland of Living Things" and "For the Friendships" one cannot help but feel like McGuire is soundtracking the new Care Bears reboot, which once again summons the pesky specter of '80s nostalgia. Opening track "Awakening" includes a vaguely Japanese sounding stringed instrument being plucked meditatively, alongside gushes of effects laden guitar work burbling through the track like a mountain stream. "In Search of the Miraculous" rolls along in a serene, pastoral manner, punctuated by plenty of synthetic tinkling and pretty moaning vocals. At their best, these tracks sounds like warm, lovely Brian Eno numbers. At their worst, these songs sound like new age cheese mongers like Kitaro or even Yanni. This music does make you feel good, but there are times when it seems like it is trying a bit too hard to bring the happy.
Nearly two years ago, I saw Mark McGuire open for Codeine at a tiny little dive bar in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle called the Sunset Tavern. Now this was one of the very first shows that Codeine had playing following their long hiatus and being able to see them for the first time in this super-duper intimate, tiny little bar already had me pretty pumped. But McGuire did a wonderful job of setting the stage for Codeine, in spite of their rather different styles of music. McGuire's ability to recreate his fully fleshed out sound with just himself, his guitar, and various gadgets and pedals, is admirable. There is no question about Mark McGuire's prodigious skills as both a composer and a performer, but bringing a track to a good shuddering climax now and again never hurt anybody. Along the Way is always pretty, but rarely beautiful.

Director: Frederick Wiseman
Ideale Audience, Crazy Horse Productions, Canal+, Planete, and Zipporah Films.
|Documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman is the filmmaking equivalent to the person who works the same job for decades, remains unassuming and workmanlike, never moving to the front and center, and essentially showing up every day, punching in/punching out, and then heading on home. Wiseman is not all that well known by most moviegoers and he has never been nominated for an Oscar or experienced a box office hit, but remains prolific and distinctive and influential. His style is the direct definition of observational and Wiseman, now 82 years old, has made 41 films in his extraordinary career, all which largely embody the same set of rules he has employed from the beginning.
Wiseman notoriously selects subjects to document and does next to no preparation beforehand. He spends several weeks with his subject(s) and does nothing more than simply shoot film. Wiseman becomes immersed in his subject for the time he spends with them and then typically has more than 100 hours of footage to review, edit, and mold into a 2 hour film. There are rarely, if ever, any talking head interviews, never any narration, and Wiseman just observes the happenings. He is a filmmaker I am woefully inadequate to speak about because I have seen just a couple of his films, despite all of them being broadcast by PBS through his own film production company, Zipporah Films. With his latest film Crazy Horse, I am compelled to seek out more of his work.
Crazy Horse is nothing more or less than a 130 minute look at a famed Parisian cabaret of the same name, which has the distinction of being the finest nude cabaret in the world. In existence since 1951, the Crazy Horse cabaret has seen the best of times and the worst of times and was sold by the family of its creator, Alain Bernardin, to Belgian owners a few years back, who have steered the fortunes of the club back in the right direction financially and creatively.
Since Frederick Wiseman makes the viewers sort through and create their own context for what they are observing, Crazy Horse may seem jarring, not simply because of the unflinching nudity on display but also because we are watching dance numbers, rehearsals, people arguing in French and English, all within the first 10 minutes. What Crazy Horse, and Wiseman's films in general, require is patience, as well as an understanding that Wiseman from the presumption that if you have taken the time to watch his film, you must possess a vested interest in said subject, and will spend the time necessary to explore that topic with him.
In this environment, we learn that the Crazy Horse cabaret is in a bit of a crossroads and its director, Philippe, is aggravated with the Crazy Horse Board of Directors and their hesitancy in giving him the budget, scope, and grandeur he demands to make Le Crazy reach heretofore unseen heights. A little digging informed me that Philippe was a former Cirque du Soleil dancer and choreographer and he brings a fairly impressive resume to that of which he speaks. However, Crazy Horse is a business and these debates are interesting in hindsight with better and more defined context.
I would never profess to speak to Wiseman's process as being good or bad, as clearly with nearly 50 years of filmmaking and more than 40 films to his credit, Frederick Wiseman has forgotten more about film than I could ever hope to learn. At times, Crazy Horse beats the same drum over and over again as dancers dance, the directors direct, and we observe the backstage happenings with dancers preparing for their performances.
Without forcing any issue, we never get to hear from the very subjects of the film, i.e. the dancers. One fascinating sequence involving the women of Le Crazy is the audition process where we learn that to be on stage at the club, you must retain a specific look – from tops to tails, if you will, and while we see what it takes externally to be a performer at Crazy Horse, we never gain a sense of what it takes mentally to succeed there. The dancers ever, if rarely, speak, other than to one another, and while you want to believe that the dancers are all on board with everything, it would add great weight to the film to have their conversations, feelings, and sensibilities shared for us watching.
Crazy Horse has inherently a limited audience and those who spend the time with it will likely find a lot of interest in watching such a provocative show, dubbed "nude chic", stripped of its eroticism and clinically deconstructed into something that seems like just another job. For those who stumble on to it, and I would imagine this may not be aired on PBS like most, if not all, of Wiseman's other films, Crazy Horse may seem overly long, boring, and rudderless.
Watching Crazy Horse, I fell in and out of favor with the film and found its 130 minutes a limiting factor in fully embracing Wiseman's work. However, the approach and the feel of the film is intriguing and I am quite interested in experiencing more of what exists on Frederick Wiseman's resume because of this film. Not for everyone and absolutely far less titillating than one may be expecting based on the subject matter, Crazy Horse is a unique documentary which may be some of Wiseman's lesser work, but what appears to be, from all accounts, a worthy contribution to the filmmaker's simple dedication of turning over the rocks of the human experience from all corners of the planet.
Should I See It?
Crazy Horse will satiate Frederick Wiseman's fanbase and those who feel that his approach is a true form of documentary filmmaking will be excited to have him back with a new film.
The realization of how business like and non-provocative a "sex show" truly is will perhaps be eye-opening to those who envision salaciousness and misogyny to be the foundation of all shows of this sort.
There is no there there with the dancers and talent who help the Crazy Horse club prosper and be successful. We get a glimpse in the dancer's interactions with one another, but without a direct discussion of the how, what, when, where, and why of their chosen profession, we simply grasp straws in trying to decipher how happy or sad or affected these women might be. The cinéma-vérité approach works in a great many settings, but here, I think we need more. Or at least I did.
