Brands Hatch, 6th – 7th of July
Last week we reported on the Centenary Celebration of Aston
Martin in Kensington Gardens and as mentioned there this was
just the conclusion of a variety of events celebrating the jubilee of
the marque. Already 2 week earlier, on the first weekend in July
the sporty part of the festivities was held at the Brands Hatch
race park about 20 miles south-east of London.

... MediaCenter gallery with 432 images... flat view >>>
Again the Aston Martin Owners Club in association with the
factory was responsible for the race meeting with 10 races on the
two days both on the Indy and the GP Circuit. Beside the different
races held by the Club on their race weekends this included a
couple of GT and Centenary races as a special for this event.
Certainly some of the most attractive races of the weekend were
the St. John Horsfall Memorial Trophy and the Team-Challenge for
pre-war cars. St. John Horsfall is known for racing his personal 2
Litre Speed Model before the war to several class wins in major
races when the official race program was stopped. More important
he brought Aston Martin back on the map when he won the first
race with the new 2 Litre Sports (the "Spa Special") in 1948 at
Spa at the beginning of the David Brown Era, unfortunately he
died soon after racing an ERA at Silverstone. Since that time the
Aston Martin Owners Club has an annual race in memory of
Horsfall open for pre-war Aston Martin during their main race
weekend (usually in Silverstone). The practice on Saturday
morning was not just for the Horsfall race but also for the team-
challenge when the Astons were racing against some Invicta,
Frazer Nash and Bentley for a team price just as in the 1930s.
Frontrunners at the St. Horsfall Trophy were the race prepared 2
Litre Speed Models, especially the single seater and "Red
Dragon", raced by Dick Seaman in the 1936 TT. These races
were held on Saturday on the smaller Indy circuit.
Further major races were the two centenary races, one for the
historic Astons and one for the modern GT cars.
The historic Centenary Race on Sunday was open for all Astons
built before 1965 held on the full GP circuit in a 30 minutes race.
Some of the pre-war cars stayed for this race but most of the
entries were lightweight conversions of DB4 road cars and from
the DB2-series plus a DB3 and a DB3S that were also entered in
the 50s sports cars race that included the Jaguar XK Trophy with
many XK120-150. The race was finally won by a DB4 GT Zagato
replica built on a normal DB4.
The two main races were the 100 minutes (for 100 years) races of
the British GT4 Challenge on Saturday and the Centenary GT
Race on Sunday. Unlike the historic races these were for the
latest Aston Martin V8 in GT race configuration attracting a grid
that is usually not seen on historic race club weekends. These
were also the cars the paddocks at the pit lane were reserved for
as they certainly needed more room and preparation with the
huge team trailers in the back than most of the historic racers
that were arriving on a small car trailer behind a tow car.
In addition to the pure Aston Martin races a few more races from
the AMOC club calendar were held in Brands Hatch, for example
a multi marque race were the DB4 had to face Porsche 964 or
928 plus Ferrari 355 or Austin Healey 3000 giving the grid a wild
mix of different eras.
More homogenous were the touring races of the HRDC All-stars
and Touring Greats with different classes of touring cars from the
1960s including Jaguar MKI, Austins, Morris Minor or Fiat Abarth.
These races are fun to watch even without the multi celebrity
entrants of the St. Mary´s Trophy at the Goodwood Revival were
these cars are shown later that year.
Aside from the racing a timeline (although not comparable with
the one in Kensington Gardens), small demonstration displays of
the Aston Martin Racing history and the connection to the James
Bond movies were located in the infield behind the paddock
buildings. A few pre-war Astons were lined up with the later
DB4/5/6 to run a demonstration lap of 100 cars during the lunch
break. They were joined by the Nimrod, AMR1, a prototype DB7,
the famous DB4GT Zagato "2VEV" and a V8 GTE driven by Bruno
Senna who was on hand to sign autographs in the Aston Martin
When looking back to the Brands Hatch Race Meeting this was
some entertaining racing for the spectators showing some
interesting races but it was more a normal Club racing weekend
than a special event like the one in Kensington Gardens two
weeks later. The fact that the most interesting race cars are
getting to expensive and are rarely seen on club races these days
does also affect the races of one of the oldest and most active
single car clubs in the world. Cars like a DBR1 (DBR1/5 was
seen in the paddocks but not driven) are seen nowadays on major
events like the Goodwood Revival but otherwise more often on the
concours lawn. For those expecting to see several of the DB3S or
DBR1 racing the meeting might have been a little bit disappointing
but for the realistic ones this is what you get today when visiting a
race meeting.

Title: Crime Pays—Part One
Well Selina Kyle is 'dead', but that doesn't mean all of Catwoman's troubles are behind her.
Writer: Will Pfeifer
Pencils: David Lopez
Inks: Alvaro Lopez
Colours: Jeromy Cox
Letters: Jared K. Fletcher
Cover artist: Adam Hughes
Editor: Nachie Castro
Publisher: DC Comics
Selina is still having bad dreams. Even after being 'killed' last issue, she still sees all of her enemies coming for her and attacking her through her daughter Helena. So she goes asks Bruce for another favour, one that will hopefully but her mind to rest. But it doesn't. And so that's where Zatanna comes in. Selina wants to forget everything and even become a villain again.
Wow, if there is one put upon character in the DCU it has to be Selina Kyle. Will Pfeifer steps all over poor Selina and then he kicks in the head at the end. But it's all great. I really feel for Selina, her pain and sacrifice is palpable indeed.
Again this issue isn't very action packed. But the images were clean and crisp and the emotion put into Selina is real.
I think next month we might be moving on to more old-school action. But for a while there at least, Selina Kyle was truly a normal human being. Alas, we all knew it wouldn't last.

Catwoman #72 (major spoilers)
Wow, this is the best issue of Catwoman I've read in a long time!
The story begins like this:
A drunk, depressed Selina's sitting high atop a Gotham rooftop, and calls Zatanna for help. She relates the story of how Helena is gone from her life.
After the incidents of last issue, Selina visited Bruce in the cave and confessed to killing Black Mask. He knows, but accepts what she did as protecting the innocent. Selina tells him that Helena is innocent and looks at the Jason Todd memorial, noting kids aren't safe in their world.
Bruce helps Selina give Helena up for adoption. Depressed, Selina wants Zatanna to erase her memories of Helena, and also undo the mindwipe. Zatanna reveals she didn't really mindwipe Selina--she just nudged her in the right direction. She was already headed down a good path. Every decision Selina made was hers and not the product of a spell. Zatanna also implores Selina not to erase her memories of Helena--Helena deserves more than that.
Selina agrees and takes off into the night. Zatanna casts a spell that makes Selina dream of Helena. When she wakes up, her apartment's been stripped bare and she escapes just before a bomb goes off.
So this issue was a major pay off for about 2 years' worth of story: Helena is out of the picture. Bruce knows Selina killed Black Mask and it hasn't strained their relationship. And most importantly, the mindwipe didn't really happen, at least not in the way we thought.
All in all, a fantastic issue with more amazing art from the Lopez brothers. Now I'm excited to see where the new "bad" Catwoman goes.
Catwoman - #72 - Everything leading up to this issue has been misleading. XD The obvious DOES NOT HAPPEN. Even tho some of it does. :( Hopefully this wun lead to a very cliche plot happening in the future. :\ Sadly b/c nothing of note rly happens this issue feels very fillerish. :\ Other than some dialogue between Batman and Catwoman, it feels like a lull between plots but there's not a lot of real characterization either. :\ I was hoping for more but I was also fearful of more, so it's good that my fears didn't come true? XD Still I dun think it's that great an issue. :( 2/5

10.0 = Masterful
For the past few years, Will Pfeifer's Catwoman has been a consistent mainstay in my comic pile, a monthly title that I can always rely on to deliver engaging storytelling and pitch perfect characterization. Pfeifer has maintained the high quality of this series by keeping the focus squarely on the dichotomy between Selina's dual lives as a mother and the East End's resident guardian, and that struggle plays out in a more definitive and emotional way than we've seen thus far throughout Pfeifer's fantastic run. The result is a heart-wrenching story about a mother's desire to protect her daughter at all costs, and Selina once again comes off as one of the most relatable and sympathetic characters in superhero comics. It also appears like Pfeifer is using this tragic new turn in Catwoman's life to open the door for the character's return to villainy, and it's refreshing to see him build the foundation for this new path on emotion and characterization as opposed to, oh I don't know, a stupid personality-altering spell by Zatanna.
As he's done so many times in previous issues, Pfeifer also provides possibly the most convincing take on the newer, more sympathetic Batman we've seen from any writer thus far, painting Bruce Wayne as a genuine, caring protector of the innocent as opposed to a psychopathic jerk in tights. It's equally remarkable how Pfeifer is able to use Batman as a supporting character without making DC's most recognizable and popular hero dominate every scene in which he appears; it's a testament to both Catwoman's development as a character and Pfeifer's ability as a writer that our primary focus and concern always remains on Selina whenever she shares a panel with the Dark Knight. I'd absolutely love to see Pfeifer take on a Batman book - as long as he remained on this book, of course.
On a final note, kudos to artist David Lopez for taking a script with almost no action and turning it into a riveting page-turner. Lopez makes each of these conversational scenes as engaging as any superhero slugfest, providing twenty-two pages of the finest kind of emotionally charged storytelling. With these two creators clicking so effortlessly and consistently churning out top-notch work, it's a damn fine time to be a Catwoman fan. And from the looks of it, it's only going to get better.
Another Take
from Jesse Schedeen
I'll agree that Catwoman has been consistently good for a while, even as it has also been consistently ignored by most DC readers. It's a shame, because, as Dan points out, it does a lot of things better than the various Batman books do, particularly with the portrayal of the kinder, gentler Bruce Wayne we were supposed to be getting after Infinite Crisis. Moreover, Catwoman rides high over the rest of the street level crime books at DC, with only series like Manhunter and the odd issue of Detective Comics ever providing much competition.
As much as I'm currently enjoying Catwoman, I do feel a bit concerned over the direction DC seems to be steering Selina Kyle in. It's no spoiler to say she seems headed back towards villain territory. I, like many readers, have greatly enjoyed following Selina over the past few years as she's morphed from career criminal to devious anti-hero to reluctant do-gooder. I'm not sure I'm ready for a return to crime. One of the biggest travesties to occur in the Bat books in the last couple years concerns Harvey Dent. I was pleasantly surprised to see an unscarred Dent appear in the pages of the "Hush" storyline. While Dent stayed hidden for another three years, I was even more pleasantly surprised to see him reappear as Gotham's newest defender in James Robinson's "Face the Face" storyline. Unfortunately, by the end of that arc Dent was essentially back to square one.
I'm not saying former villains can't or shouldn't return to villainy, but at the very least I want the journey to happen in due course. From what I've read of Will Pfeifer's Catwoman work, I don't think this will be a major problem. He's put too much time and effort into Selina Kyle's story to just yank the rug out from under us. If you're not reading the book, hop on board with issue #71 and see why I, Dan, and the rest of the Catwoman fans enjoy this series so much.
Jesse's Score: 8.4

Babies in Refrigerators
By: Alex Zalben
If you're regularly reading Lying in the Gutters, and you should be, you might have caught this item:
Catwoman. She's was a villain, then an anti-heroine but of late she's been a bit too much of a hero. That's all changing. The current arc "Mother's Day" will see something very unfortunate happen to her daughter, Helena, which will tip Selina back over to the dark side. It's time for Catwoman to be a bad girl again. How small do they make refrigerators?
Catwoman writer Will Pfeifer has taken the time to respond over on his blog, saying:
"There's been some speculation about this issue on the Interweb, and all I can say, is give it a read before you make your mind up about it. Not everything you read online is 100 percent accurate, you know. Still, the attention is always nice."
Having read the issue, I can say that Johnston is being a bit of a tease, as usual. The issue is heartbreaking, but not in the way he seems to suggest. I'm not usually a reader of Catwoman, but I think this is a great issue to check out, and a good jumping on point. Catwoman #72 hits stands today...
Catwoman 72
I got sucker punched by this. I knew Selina was giving up Helena. It was so logical. I thought she'd get Zatanna to wipe her memory of Helena. So far, I was batting a thousand. Then Zee talked her out of it, and told her, when Selina asks to have her mind restored to her bad gal self, that she'd already been on the path to good. The scenes with Zee and Selina were emotionally wrought and I loved Zee sitting in mid-air while they talked. And she gave her the gift of a dream. This was powerful stuff. And seeing a version of a grown-up Helena was wonderful. Oh, and Robin watching Helena so Selina and Bruce could talk, via flashback, was cute. So, what leads Selina down the dark path broadly hinted at in the Countdown promos? That's where the sucker punch comes in. Selina waking up in a completely empty apartment except for the blanket she's lying on and a bomb. Wow. Talk about "can't wait to find out what happens next" moments. Oh, and another awesome AH! cover. Hughes draws emotions like no one else. And his characters look real.
Catwoman #72 - Pfeifer…man…no matter how much I wanna leave this title you keep sucking me in with your writing. Another great issue. Selena decides the only way for her child to have a safe life is by giving her up to others, not in the type of life she's in. Selena, gets help from Bruce to help make arrangements and though she knows what she did was probably right…feels so horrible she asks Zatanna to make her forget about her child. There are nice little moments throughout this story, Selena has flashes of what life with her daughter, grown-up, would be like, and it's just told in a very unique way…the writings got a feel that's great but hard to describe I guess. I had one problem with this story…not even so much a problem just my own views on Batman's personality. I have a problem with the fact that Batman is somewhat alright with Selena killing a Black Mask.
When has Bruce…ever…EVER cut anybody slack for killing a villain…just saying…it's funny how everything is all OK, when it involves a past lover…grrr. Lopez art has really grown on me, it fits this title well. For those that thought this series was cancelled (and apparently there are these people), start picking up this title.
Catwoman #72 – Selina Kyle has managed to let the world think she is dead. The last issue implied she was also giving up her baby and that just leaves her as Catowman. This has been a terrific series and Catwoman continues to be one of DC' s most consistent series.
Catwoman #72 - Very good issue – sad and poignant story about Selina giving up her baby.
CATWOMAN #72 - I was really impressed with this issue. In my previews, I was concerned they might try and use Zatanna to mind wipe the baby and all character development over the past several years away in favour of some editorial mandated decision. What we got was a great tale that showed how much Selina has changed and how much she cared about her child. It was both sad and heart felt and one of the best issues in a long time. Sad to see the baby go, but there's hope we'll see her again in the future.
Verdict - Must Read
Review by Binkley (e-mail)
There really is nothing surprising in this issue; it seemed fairly obvious a while ago that Selina was going to give up her baby, so seeing it happen is just the culmination of what Pfeifer has been writing since the One Year Later leap. What makes this issue work, however, is Pfeifer's characterization of Selina after giving up her baby. Being a parent is not easy; it involves contradictory set of emotions. You want to be the one to protect them, guide them, and nurture them. But on the other hand, you need to step back and let them develop on their own, to allow them to make their own mistakes and learn from them without their parent's interference. As a parent, you want to hold on tight, but at the same time you know you must let go. This conflicting emotion shines through in this issue, showing how much it hurts Selina to let go even though she knows it was the right thing to do. It is gut-wrenching to read this issue and in this case, that is a good thing.
The key to the issue, however, is that Pfeifer manages to avoid using Zatanna as a way to reboot the Catwoman character while at the same time actually managing to reboot the character. It would be easy for Zatanna to wipe Selina's mind, which would allow Pfeifer to start anew with any baggage. But with Zatanna's refusal and then the bomb, Pfeifer manages to get Selina where he needs her to be without sacrificing the character that he has written so well for the past several years. It shall be interesting to see where this leads...
The previous issue was a titled "Mother's Day, Part 1" but there was no Part 2 as this issue is called "Crime Pays, Part 1". Obviously this is some kind of mistake, but is the title to this one a mistake or should the previous not have been labeled as part 1?
Catwoman #72
Cover by Adam Hughes
"Even with a high degree of visual complexity, Hughes delivers a cover that challenges the viewer not to look. The two sides of Catwoman—the happy-go-lucky thief and the tortured soul—are represented as posters in the hands of Zatanna. The expressions he manages to capture are amazing. Anchoring the piece is the ridiculously sexy image of Zatanna. As a female superhero costume, a top hat, tuxedo jacket and fishnets are quite the statement. Ooph."
The first of the unbelievably excellent comics this week is, perhaps not surprisingly, Catwoman. A different commenter on this here blog (in the same thread on which I was insulted!) called Pfeifer "mediocre," but I can't believe that person has read this comic. Despite Pfeifer's attempts to defend Amazons Attack! and the fallout from that ill-conceived series, Catwoman just keeps getting better. In this issue, Selina decides that she simply can't keep Helena anymore because of the danger. She calls on Zatanna to make her forget about Helena, telling her in flashback about her appeal to Bruce Wayne to set up an adoption for Helena. Again, we see that Pfeifer gets Bruce. Selina confesses that she killed Black Mask, and Bruce tells her that he knew - of course he knew! He tells her that he didn't take her down because what she did protected the innocent, even though he disagrees with her methods. Bruce is angry at Selina, but he realizes why she did it. He helps her, of course, and when Selina gives up her baby, her devastation is palpable, and López's wonderful full-page panel showing her collapsed on the floor is brilliant. And then, Zatanna's "gift" to Selina is fantastic, too. This is a heart-breaking issue, but it follows logically from what has come before. Pfeifer recently adopted a daughter, and he writes a very good parent - both Selina and Bruce, as Tim's "father." He also does a nice job with Helena telling Tim his costume is "wed," and then repeating it over and over. Yes, that's what small children do.
The big debate about whether Selina will become "evil" again rears its head, but she's not becoming "evil" just for the hell of it, so I doubt it's going to take. However, Selina is going someplace not very nice, and I'm looking forward to it. It's an excellent comic book.

Catwoman #72
Writer: Will Pfeifer
Artist: David Lopez
Arc: Crime Pays (Part 1)
I think I might be hooked on Catwoman. I love comics where there is a strong emotional presence on each page (see my Four Women review as a good example). Bendis added emotion to each page of Daredevil with perfection. Pfeifer isn't that good, but he is good enough. Catwoman has a child, and it isn't easy for her. This issue looks more into what steps Selina has to do to ensure her child remains safe. Catwoman is stressed and worried, and it shows through out the entire comic. You can feel her pain as she tries to protect her daughter from unknown threats. Selina asks friends for help, and she just seems so vulnerable opening up herself to other people. Don't worry action fans, there is a nice cliffhanger at the end of the comic. One of the major differences between this emotion driven Catwoman and Daredevil is the art. Maleev could draw Daredevil in such a way that if you hadn't read an issue you'd know what the guy was feeling. Lopez does a better job here than he did in the last issue, but he still doesn't convey the amount of emotion that Pfeifer needs.
Plot: 4
Catwoman having a child is putting her through the ringer emotionally, and it makes for a very solid comic book.
Story Arc: 4
This is the beginning of a new story arc which doesn't get started until the last couple of pages, but Selina's child plot line gets pushed heavily here.
Lasting Appeal: 3
It is a good read, but not good enough to bring me back.
Anticipation: 4
There is a cliffhanger here, and it is good.
Art: 3
A better job than last time with portraying emotion but not there yet.
Overall: Mighty
Catwoman #72 -- And creators wonder why readers don't believe they're really going to do anything different... this issue reverses everything that made the recent run of Catwoman so interesting and unusual. Baby? Given away. New identity? Lost in a drunken haze. Stand-alone stories? Let's truck in Zatanna and yet another Identity Crisis reference. Life in her neighborhood? Blown up with a convenient bomb. Complicated morality? Replaced with a vengeful vow to quit being a good guy. Looks like next issue, we're back to a simple anti-hero with no family ties and nothing complicated. Borrrrrrrring.
Oh, and at her turning point, Catwoman in the Batcave stares at the costume of a dead Robin, talking about how their lives aren't safe for kids, at the same time she's ignoring the live one babysitting her daughter. Why is absolutely no one in the DCU optimistic any more? I don't want to rate this, because I get tired of marking most superhero books Eh, but that's my overall take on them. They don't aim for much, and they achieve it.
Catwoman #72
Yup, this was one of the tear jerkers this week. Does it require having kids of your own to cry at this issue? I've heard, no, but I'm just wondering.
I came into this story knowing I was going to hate it, and it was going to be a total cop-out. Piled on with Black Canary giving up her daughter for the greater good (read: lazy writing) it was just going to be too much for me to bear in a short period of time. At least it would provide a clean break for the title, I thought.
In reality: wow, Pfeiffer takes it to the edge of that story and then made it something else. Something altogether better and less of a comic book. It's still a cop out, even Pfeiffer isn't so good to dodge that bullet for DC. But what he did: forcing Selina to remember and to make up her own mind about whether to stay on the side of the angels was spot on.
Unless Pfeiffer continues to write this, I find it likely I will quit on Catwoman for the time being. It seems like Will was just tidying up his run and letting the next body come on and regress Selina back to the skanky badguy she used to be (or the morally gray Outsider that I wasn't too keen on either). Isn't it okay if just one character changes every once in awhile? Or is that only good for Green Arrow?
Applause to you Will Pfeiffer, it's been a hell of a run, and you made me all weepy.
CATWOMAN #72 $2.99 - Very fearful of the giant Reset button being punched soon.
Pretty much all good:
Art and story. Fun Robin. Appreciated visual representation of the real difficulties of identity falsifying. Emotional parting splash! The mindwipe angle. Batman and Zatanna roles played. The dreams 'and maerd'. The mystery of who would do that at the end.
-the implied SPOILER foreshadowing of this arc having read the new BATO#1
-that Canary/Arrow more or less JUST did this plot idea with Sin
-don't know anything about Chateau Le Pin Pomerol but dislike another recent issue that has Zatanna considered an aloholic (drinker not drunk)
-unclarity of the coincidence that the thief took advantage of a spell induced sleep (would Zatanna be that careless again?) or if the thief was THAT good
-the debatable (though story touching) crime confession (though story effective) that Batman uncharacteristically felt better overlooked

Feeling Mixed Emotions: Catwoman #72
Catowman #72
Originally uploaded by Heidi Meeley
If making a reader feel uncomfortable and upset is a writing feat, Will Pfeifer has scored a home run with me. Catwoman #72 broke my heart. After seeing Selina reach for the heights of goodness as a new mother to knowing that she is destined to go back to a life of crime, my emotions ran the gamut.
Adam Hughes' amazingly fitting cover and David Lopez' incredible interiors only served to heighten my already distraught feelings. Selina's feelings of helplessness and her ultimate decision put me on a roller coaster ride.
At the end of this issue, part of me was furious. How dare Pfeifer do this to Selina? After all she went through to become a mommy and the nostalgia of her feelings for the father, it flat hurt to watch her do what she did. How is Slam going to feel?
The writing is on the wall and on the "...and evil shall inherit the earth" poster. Selina is going to be a criminal again. It makes me sick and it disgusts me but I know I will continue to pick up the book to witness the journey. I care about the character and want the best for her, so knowing that she is going back to her old ways is sad.
Is it strictly plot license or is it a more permanent change? Only time will tell. This is one time that I am willing to sit back and buy a ticket for the ride.

No matter what people may think, Pfeifer can write a good story, even if it does tear at your heart.
Selina did the right thing though.
Heidi Meeley said...
Nick, I have to agree. A story that can get me this worked up has to be at least partially because of the excellent execution of it!
My heart aches for Selina, as giving up a child would be the hardest thing I could ever think of doing. Was it right? Probably. Do I like it. Nope.
Great writing and great art. Tough story to take.
Melchior del Darién said...
Yeah, CW #72 broke my heart, too, especially due to the care that the artist has been taking to provide Helena with "realistic" facial expressions and reactions since she showed up OYL.
On the meta/big picture side, though, my emotions were undercut somewhat because I could kind of see this coming, and the baby was being deployed as a plot complication that needed to be resolved somehow down the line ...
My feeling is that it would have been worthwhile to see Selina be both a (good) mother and Catwoman. Since the DC folks made the decision for her to have a child, I think they should have followed through with the concept and allowed us to read stories about a smart, talented, modern woman doing her job (kicking evil doers' asses) and raising her daughter, too.
Heidi Meeley said...
Melchior, you said it so well here. It cuts both ways. I would have loved to have Selina be a mom for a bit longer, but I do prefer this solution to having Helena die. That would have made me furious!!
Your comment made me smile because I feel so similarly.

text: I Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. This verse came up the other day, and after checking various translations, and my own assumptions, I'm kinda left with the thought that I really can't definitely say what this means. I can "assume" that God permitted an evil spirit to come upon Saul as punishment, or I can assume that it was only evil from Saul's perspective because it tormented him. But, most proper translations don't really bend on this at all. They are all pretty clearly stating "evil Spirit from the LORD" in one way or another. Any one have any real insight? I mean, beyond the same assumptions I've already made?

Are there any?
I used to make regular pilgrimages to Daruma before it closed, and I know places like Hinata and Maruichi have taken its place, but was hoping to find something closer. There a lots of Asian groceries in my area (Falls Church), but the few that I've checked out seem a bit scattershot, in terms of Japanese food.
Also, can anyone recommend a replacement for "Hime" brand dashi-no-moto? It's the one that had real bonito flakes and kombu in what were essentially over-sized teabags. Much more flavorful than the hon-dashi "crystals" that seem to be available now.

"Don't Act Like You're Not Impressed."
I love to impress people. I mean, who doesn't? For example, just last night at our friends' house the topic of Giants baseball and my long time fanhood jumped into our conversation. I was asked how painful it has been to be a Giants fan for so long and I quickly responded by retelling the gut-wrenching story of the Mets' Benny Agbayani hitting a 13th inning game winning homer against us in the 2000 playoffs. My friends were impressed by such specific Giants' knowledge (or maybe they just thought I was pathetic) and I was happy to oblige, especially now that those memories aren't so painful having won a World Series.
A trusted counselor of mine once told me, "Jon, you probably write/teach about the importance of authenticity, but you need to do a better job modeling that in your own life." Ouch…
On my best day, I write what God has put on my heart and I share it with conviction. On my worst day, I write while asking the question, "What do people want to hear and how can I impress them?" I don't have the time, desire or calling to simply write what people want to hear. Plus, that is just bad writing and doesn't make for a compelling story.
Over the past three years, I have sensed an overwhelming conviction to tell the stories that often get dismissed, over looked or that are culturally taboo within our Western narrative. Whether stories from the alley behind my apartment or stories from our travels in a war torn Middle East, I commit to tell them with honesty, conviction and creativity (more on this in my next post).
For now, help me live out the advice of my counselor by engaging in critical conversation and story that sheds light on God's Kingdom, even if it rustles our feathers and makes us a bit uncomfortable. Because if I'm authentic in telling these stories, we will be uncomfortable…and hopefully inspired towards action.

Will Different frequency ram affect Hdd ?
Recently, I added a new ram to my laptop with different frequency .one of it is 1333Hz and another is 1066Hz.After a few days , my computer hard disk is having bad sector , and ended up changing a new hard disk.Just wondering if the ram which caused the problem or it is just coincidence?

Coincidence. Probably time to replace the HDD
Memory speeds should not affect ANYTHING at the HDD. However, you may want to reconsider having memory sticks with different speeds, as that would affect all sorts of things, internally. It's always a good idea to have matching memory sticks, even down to the brand. I'm surprised that the computer even works!! There used to be a time when you could get away with mixing memory sizes, but they still needed to be the same type and speed. These days, computers are a bit more picky, yours, apparently, being the exception.

Beltrami County commissioners select Moore to replace Snyder as land commissioner
A Montana state natural resources official will be Beltrami County's new land commissioner.
Beltrami County commissioners approved the hire of Richard Anders Moore by voting for a $68,411.20 salary for the post.
Moore since 2007 has been an area resource conservation manager for the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation in Billings, Mont. He supervises eight employees responsible for managing 381,000 acres of school trust land.
He starts Feb. 1, replacing Greg Snyder, who has left the county for a post with the state Department of Natural Resources. As land commissioner, Moore will also head the county's Natural Resource Management Department.
While no one on staff applied for the post, County Administrator Tony Murphy said Tuesday that having someone with an outside perspective will be good for county forest and recreation management.
"We've had someone from the inside for many years, and this will be good to have someone from outside with new energy and new ideas," Murphy said. "And, with most staff members retiring soon, the new land commissioner will have the opportunity to build a new team."
Snyder took over from Bob Milne and Milne replaced Mark Reed. Reed succeeded Norm Moody, who also was executive secretary to the County Board. He took over from long-time Land Commissioner Lenny Bergstrom. All held other county positions before becoming land commissioner.
Moore, from 1987-91, was forest resource manager for Cass County where he worked on the county's five-year forest resource management plan.
After that, he was a financial institution sales manager in Shoreview, Minn., a timber sale specialist for the state of Montana, director of forestry and natural resources for Douglas County in Wisconsin and unit manager for the state of Montana as resource program manager before gaining his current post.
Murphy said four people applied for the post and a county committee interviewed two.
Commissioner Quentin Fairbanks questioned the hiring process, saying he wanted to meet Moore first and interview him. Moore was not at Tuesday's meeting.
But Murphy said under the management system operated by the county, it is the county administrator's job to hire county staff and the County Board's role to create and fund the position.
Murphy, however, used a committee with diverse views, including County Board Chairman Jack Frost, to interview and recommend a candidate.
Frost said he was impressed with Moore and added that he should bring a multi-use perspective that will be sensitive to logging and recreation pressures on the county's 147,000 acres.
A county Park and Trail Advisory Council now takes some of that pressure off the Natural Resources Management Department, but there is still a controversy between loggers wanting to harvest more timber and environmentalists wanting a pristine outdoor experience.

If you're broke today, cutting back on your spending will only do so little. You have to have more cash in your pocket. The question is, how?
Earning more doesn't mean you have to look for another job if you can't get a raise or an advance from your employer. It also doesn't mean you have to immediately sign up for payday loans, which may not be the wisest alternative to raising money. It's possible to earn more while keeping your day job – or while you are currently looking for a job. You just have to know how you can make money out of your available resources – your time, your home, your car and your talents and skills. (more…)Continue reading

Alright guys - mintInstall was being sluggish and tempermental, so I followed the installation instructions on their home site, and received the following error message:
I'm going to try and sort this out myself, but I would of course really appreciate advice.
PS: Why is mintInstall so tempermental? It's as though it "feels like" installing some programs without trouble, and "feels like" being stubborn with others.

It says that you are missing tcl, a dependency of amsn.
The name of that package is tcl8.4.
I just installed it with mintInstall worked fine.
Thanks for that - still learning, you know.
I ended up having to use Synaptic to install both tcl8.3 and a TK GUI toolkit, but it's now installed by changing the file's permissions to "Allow executing file as program". It was really the easiest way for me, because my mintInstall is tempermental, like I said - it installed Blender with no problem, but on aMSN it would get like a third of the way there and then just stop.
In any event, it's installed. Thanks again!

Did a final fitting to make sure everything is OK which meant getting the boy all dressed up and doing a little pre-party photo shoot. Its looking good. Only issue is the elastic in the pants could be a bit tighter. Might need to throw some suspenders on until I can pull the seams to fix that. They don't fall off, thank heavens, but noticed he had to hoist them up every now and then.
I think we are good to go. He is going to have to wear this a few times over the next couple of weeks to all the events lined up. Then after things calm down I want to start another look for him with the same vest pattern. There's a kimono we picked up on our last Japan trip that I think would be perfect fabric for a gilet. Well, best get back to work now. See ya!!

The Knockout Round of the 2013 MLS Cup playoffs kicks off Wednesday night, and that means time is running out to set your lineup. To that end, I collected predictions from the experts and put together some key stats to go along with this week's fantasy video (above).
At this point in MLS Fantasy, it is imperative that you field your optimal lineup, and with free unlimited transfers at your disposal, there's no one to blame for the mistakes or praise for the glory other than yourself.
After taping the fantasy video for this week's Knockout Round (above), I spoke with Jason Saghini and Andrew Wiebe about both matchups. The consensus was unanimous across the board – we all like the home side to come away with the win.
- Me: Houston win 1-0, Seattle win 2-1
- Jason Saghini: Houston win 1-0, Seattle win 1-0
- Andrew Wiebe: Houston win 1-0, Seattle win 2-1
The main thing to take away from our score lines is not that we're predicting goals, it's that we're predicting shutouts. And for Jason, he's predicting two.
While we all agreed that both Montreal and Colorado have the ability to score, which they've proven to us this season, we don't like their chances this week on the road.
Having watched a lot of tape on Houston as of late, I'm going to focus solely on the Houston vs. Montreal matchup in today's breakdown.
Good vs. Bad
With the recent news that defender Jermaine Taylor has been ruled out for the entire playoffs due to a foot injury, I'm not overly convinced that Houston will be able to hold Montreal off the board for the entire 90 minutes. But regardless of who they have back there, what gives me hope that they can escape with a clean sheet is the fact that Montreal just cannot score as of late. Here's the good and the bad for the Impact...
The Good: 17 players have scored for Montreal in 2013 and their 50 total goals are second-best in the Eastern Conference. Marco Di Vaio led the team with 20 goals, finishing third in this year's Golden Boot race, behind Camilo Sanvezzo (winner) and Mike Magee (runner-up). Felipe is the second-highest scorer on the team, with five.
The Bad: In their last five games, Montreal have been shut out four times. Add in the fact that they've conceded a goal in all five of those matches and a 1-0 loss to Houston seems more and more plausible.
Key Stats
As fantasy players, most of you love stats, so here are some things to take into consideration about the Impact when finalizing your picks.
- 1-4-2 when Marco Di Vaio plays fewer than 80 minutes
- Outscored Houston 7-1 in the regular season
- Shut out Houston twice in 2013. Both games were at Stade Saputo
- 50 goals in 2013: Home - 31, Away -19
- Last Meeting: 1-0 win for Houston at BBVA Compass Stadium
I like the Dynamo in this matchup because of their reputation at home and I respect what they can do when Dominic Kinnear leads them into the postseason.
I'm giving you several reasons to pick up Houston defenders, but are you still not convinced? How about our predictions: Do you agree or disagree? Tell us why or why not in the comments below.

Unanswered: trigger not returnign desired result
Hi guys,

FORM is a paid, 8-week, full-time summer internship where you'll build your portfolio by working on real projects.
You'll be embedded with our agency teams and also work with other FORM interns on an actual project for a client or community initiative. You're going to take real-world problems, think up solutions, and then (this is the hardest part) figure out how to turn your ideas into something tangible. In other words, you're not just going to get a closer look at agency life, you're going to live it the way we do every day.
Graphic Design
CMYK, RGB, EPS, AI, JPG, OMG! All you want in life is to make this crazy, messed up world a more beautiful place and you're using every application in the Adobe Creative Suite to do it.
All those technical awards at the Oscars no one cares about? You care. From shooting to editing, music selection to color correction, you know how to bring every element together to tell one hell of a story.
When someone is #literallydying, a part of your soul figuratively dies. You've got big ideas, an even bigger vocabulary and probably a blog from middle school you're embarrassed about.
UX Design & Development
You are a mere mortal, and yet to your family and friends, you are a tech god. You fix problems with a user-first mentality, some wireframes, HTML and a lil' CSS. But first, you try turning it off and on again.
Public Relations
You're a social butterfly on steroids. Insta, Snap, Pinterest, you're all over it. And when it comes to earned media like press releases and articles, you're all about that AP style.
Account Leadership
You're a born champion. As in, I'm going to champion the hell out of this brand. Details give you life. You're what would happen if Hermione got her hands on a Time Tuner and a DeLorean.
Real talk: it's super awkward when you're interviewing for jobs right out of college and they're all like "so tell us about your experience" and you're all "Um, I worked at T.G.I. Friday's one summer." With FORM, you get real experience and work samples that employers actually care about. You'll be in the room where it happens without having to shell out $500 for Hamilton tickets.
Awww yiiisss. Actual money you can put in the bank (or, lets be real, into the hands of your nearest bartender or student loan collector). Which is awesome, because $$$! But it also means you won't be goofing off all day. You're getting paid so you're going to be doing actual work, too.
Want to test drive your future career or take a chance on something you have zero experience in? Do you have the big stuff mostly figured out, but what you really need is general advice on how to make your work better? Get you an internship that can do both.
When you're in college, you mostly know other college students and they're never hiring. So it's super helpful to know people who already work in your chosen field. They might be hiring or know people who are, and they'll probably be willing to be a "reference available upon request" on your resume.
Is there anything more academically enriching than a nice cold beer (or a freshly chilled juice box for those under 21)? Does cake transform mediocre ideas into genius campaigns? Do heated discussions about Game of Thrones provide vital insight into the world of advertising? We are dedicated in our mission to find answers. We hope you share our passion.
*But seriously, no beer for you minors. Sorry, kids. Until you hit 21, you'll be hitting up the soda machine.
Why the hell is it called FORM?
So, college is this super weird time in life, right? It's like your whole life is this sketchbook and you've got all these blank pages to fill (major, career, identity, preferred beer pong technique, etc.). We've designed FORM to give you the guidance and space you need to get a head start, figure things out or explore something new, and take a chance you might otherwise not have the opportunity to take. It's the platform you need to get informed, perform at a higher level and ultimately transform who you are.
When does this thing run? I have summer plans you know.
FORM begins on June 5th and ends on August 4th. For those of you doing the math, this nine week span includes a week-long vacation between July 3rd and July 7th.
What if I'm not a student?
No worries, internships are for everyone!
What are the hours like?
8:30am to 5:15pm. Some days it might be a little longer, but we pretty much keep it to those hours. Also, 8:30 doesn't mean roll in sometime before noon. 8:30 means 8:30.
What if I need to miss a couple of days because I have to go to the beach for my annual family reunion? Nana doesn't have many years left!
We can probably work with you on that. Now, if you need to take a week off, that's a different story.
Do I need to bring a computer?
Nah, girl/dude. We got you.
So like, how nice do I need to dress? Do I need to buy a suit?
We're on the casual side of business casual. You don't need slacks or a tie or pantyhose (weird combo, but whatever, you do you). Jeans and sneakers are fine. If you wear a suit, we're all going to assume you're going to a funeral.
Oh sweet! So I can wear my flip-flops and cargo shorts.
Um, no. This isn't a frat house. When in doubt, just remember that dressing nicer than everyone else makes you look suave AF. Dressing like a bum makes you look like a bum. Just take a peep at what the folks here wear and you'll figure it out in a day or two. Also, cargo shorts haven't been cool for at least five years. You need to burn those.
Can I sleep in your office? I don't have anywhere to live.
The office doubles as a rave venue and a bingo hall at night so you can't live here. Not actually true, but if you need some advice on where to look for housing, we can help point you in the right direction.
Where is Eleven? Did she die when she destroyed the Demogorgon or is she living in the Upside Down?
I mean, THAT'S the question, right? Like, they can't possibly have season two without Eleven. She was the best part of season one... I mean aside from Dustin, who is EVERYTHING. And Winona. Welcome back, Winona! We missed you! #justiceforbarb
My question wasn't answered on this page; I feel so lost and alone.
Take three deep breaths and then hit up Studio Director Rusty Williams at email@example.com. He'll set you straight.
Thanks for your interest!
Get ready! The application period for FORM 2018 will open in December.

Sha. Getting cooler and soon I guess it will be time for orientals.
Anais, Anais. It is sooo good.
Silk in perfume oil by Ava Luxe.
Well I went to Macy's today and tested Covet. Strangely it reminds me of Sha by Alfred Sung which I very much like. In checking on the notes of Covet and Sha I found only three overlapped: muguet,...
Well I ordered some things from Serena two days ago and used "BASENOTES" and this did work and I did get a discount. She is on vacation and not taking orders for a couple of weeks :-(
Annick Goutal's Eau de Charlotte.

I have been wearing SJP Lovely today and really picking up on the lavender note in it. I have concluded that lavender is one of my favorite notes. Even bought a "Method" lavender and lemongrass...
Tested a sample of Dzing (L'Artisan):
tonka beans, balsam, saffran and ginger
It is ok but nothing earthshattering. Not a whole lot of longevity or sillage it seems.
To me both Bandit and Fracas are beautiful but not always easy to wear fragrances. When you are in the mood, they can really fit the bill. They are also great value for the money.
So many wonderful fragrances on the Basenoters today! I am wearing Heure Exquise by Annick Goutal which I love for the wonderful rose over Mysore sandalwood.
I signed up too no problem. Looks like a fun site!

It has a lot of ingredients:

Yes, LHeure Bleu and Heliotrope are really good together. The Heliotrope is kinda too sweet by itself and the L Heure Bleu is edgy (beautiful but something I might not wear very often). So when I...
Beautiful day here today and a lot of time spent in the garden. My peonies are about to bloom. I can't wait. Wearing Etro Heliotrope and Le Heure Bleu layered.

AA Lavande Velours over Etro Sandalo. I love, love, love this combination.
Aqua Allegoria LAvande Velours over Sandalo by Etro. Basically ramps up the sandalwood already in Lavande. Love that Sandalwood.

L Heure Bleu layered over Etro Heliotrope

I could never remember exactly, so I decided to break out the Excel and log perfume in a spreadsheet and this is what I have:
6 times: Comme des garcons 2
5 times: Heure Exquise
3 times:...
Neither smells all that much to me llike Shalimar. L'Heure Bleu has a lot of heliotrope late in the drydown. Of the two I think that Vol de Nuit is more like Shalimar. L'Heure Bleu has dramatic...
So glad it is winter solstice, cause spring is right around the corner. Wearing Shaal Nur today. No perfume for me this Christmas since I maxed out for my recent birthday and have decided that they...
A day to stay close to the skin and still feel very comfortable: Sha by Sung.
Wearing Sha by Alfred Sung (got some for my birthday). Got it because of Quarry saying it is her favorite scent right now. I absolutely love it. It is lilac and musk and I love the animalic note...
Started with Cabaret by Gres which is a nice rose and incense scent but stays very close to the skin with practically no sillage.
So I layered on Tokion by Ava Luxe in parfum oil form
Initial by Boucheron because there was snow on the ground this morning.
Top note : Cassis leaves, Mandarin, Pepper
Middle note : Rose, Jasmine, Immortelle, Patchouli
Base note : Honey,...
Wearing Caron Fleur de Rocaille with a squirt of Etro Patchouly. Like the Caron better that way.
A cold but sunny day. Wearing Doll Face by Ava Luxe with heliotrope, violet, vanilla, and two types of musk. Great for a winter cold day.
I think Moondeva is right about mixing simple single or close to single note fragrances with your perfumes. I have relatively recently begun to do this. Since I am a patchouli lover I find...

Middle Notes

Base Notes
So far I have not heard anything about this in Minnesota. Personally I would not want to cause any medical problems in other people. I try to be reasonable and not overdo my sillage.
So many...
I have been wearing Wild Black Fig from an Ava Luxe sample: black fig, fig leaves, sandalwood, coconut, patchouli, vanilla absolute, hawthorn blossoms, gaiac wood, cedar, galbanum, black pepper,...
Wish I had Jicky.
Etro Patchouly and some squirts of Bathed and Infused Angel, which first and foremost smells of milk chocolate.
Started with Bandit by Piguet and later applied some Rochas Tocade. Have become smitten with it.
Etro Shaal Nur
Tocade by Rochas. It is a really incredible rose scent with the rose emerging from the amber and vanilla base and smelling so sweet and demure in contrast.
Hi Serena,
I too like the Ava-Luxe site very much: great graphics, very clear and informative, easy to navigate. Have just tested a bunch of your samples and like two especially a lot: Wild...
Incense Tibet by Ava Luxe
Coconut, Tunisian Musk, Rose Maroc Absolute, Night Queen, Balsam Copaiba, Himalayan Cedar, Virginia Cedar, Sandalwood, Indian Amber, Vanilla, Patchouli, Vetiver,...
Tocade by Rochas which I finally found at TJMaxx. It is beautiful with amber, sandal, vanilla and rose notes. Reminds me quite a lot of Bath and Bodyworks Aromatherapy sandalwood rose though much...
Ralph Lauren Safar. It smells just so beautiful today.
Jean Patou Enjoy layered with a squirt of Figuier (Bathed and Infused). It is a great combo.
Sorry no Vega. I am wearing Molinard's Un Air d'Habanita
Top Notes: Mandarin, Blackcurrant bud and Grapefruit.
Heart Notes: Flower of Osmanthus, Jasmin, Rose and Iris and
Base Notes: ...
Shaal Nur today, always great with hesperidic top and rose in the heart and patch and incense in the base.
Hey that bathroom leak sounds pretty nasty and I sympathize. I have both a T.J's and a Marshall's nearby and I might just check them out tomorrow.
Could it be that sometimes you get a bad bottle? I bought a bottle of #5 EDP at the Amsterdam AIrport where they turn over merchandise really fast. It seems really fresh to me and I find it ...
Wearing The Lost today by Bathed and Infused. It has almonds, cherry and very nice incense among other notes. You only need a very small amount and it lasts almost all day. Now I am tempted to try...
The beautiful Mitsouko today.
Absolutely agree with all comments. I think that my kids are not that discriminatory and have fairly unprecise and general statements. Perhaps because of this I find them interesting. I also think...
I periodically ask my kids to smell whatever I am wearing and to tell me what it smells like. The other day I put on Chanel #5 and asked. My son said that it smelled like baby powder. I...
Etro Patchouly and Jean Patou Enjoy. I like this combination because the banana note makes the Enjoy a bit too fruity for me. Yet Enjoy has a beautiful rose note. There is already a distinctive...
Diorella over Etro Patchouly.
Wearing the same scent for days can be tough when you have a bunch that you would like to wear. Earlier this summer when I went on a trip I took just one fragrance with me and wore it every day. IT...
Etro Patchouly with Caron Fleur de Rocailles over it.
The lost (Bathed and Infused). I like it: it has cherry and almonds, then almonds (and I think vanilla) and incense and sandalwood.
Etro Patchouly with a squirt of Bathed and Infused Angel dupe. Very nice.
Bathed and Infused: The lost. Almond, cherries and incense. Has a very nice smooth drydown.
Etro Patchouly with Angel dupe from Bathed and Infused on top. Interesting...
Mitsouko. Has been wonderful for summer.
Caron's Violette Precieuse.
I too love Guerlain and have a bunch of them. I started with Shalimar because my Mom wore it and therefore I knew I liked it. I replaced several bottles that I used up over time. My next Guerlain...
Ivoire. So nice.
Caron's Fleurs de Rocaille. Hot here today too.
Mitsouko, EDP.
Mitsouko; took me a while to appreciate her.
Have a couple of frags hanging out there that I hope to (gulp) love. L'Heure Bleu is one that I still can't get the hang of. There are so many...
You are ver welcome!

I wonder how Fresh Index Patchouli Pure compares to the...
Regarding Violette Precieuse, I have it in EDP and it is to me pretty reminiscent of Hiris. Except that Hiris is lusher and more powdery. VP is not a violet lover's violet at all and it has...
Caron: Aimez Moi. Very herbal at first with mint and then a powdery drydown.
I have fallen hard for Shaal Nur. Wore it every day for two weeks during a trip out to the Southwest (Monument Valley, Mesa Verde, Chako etc.). It wore so well and annoyed no one. It now brings...
Shaal Nur over Suave Berry Smoothie body lotion. Somehow it is a great combination.
Guerlain Nahema today. My son told me that it smelled smokey.
Shaal Nur again today. Love the way that the patchouli and rose meander out of the intense hesperidic notes. Smellas great at every stage and fits summer so very well.
I wear perfume mostly for me. It makes me feel good and as I wear it it becomes part of me. Perfume is different from beautiful clothes because you can't see it and the boundary between you the...
Well for now I would have to say Shaal Nur by Etro. Can't get enough of it.
Chanel #5 because I missed it....
I haven't tried it but I want to. Very interesting to see the house of Guerlain continue with Patricia de Nicolai. Love the name (a French swear word - so amusing). The ingredients also look...
Shaal Nur
Enjoy by Patou. I don't know what it is but I am craving patchouli.

Visitors Trailer (2013)
20 January 2013 88 mins
During an unannounced visit to Berlin, Jakob and Hanna let their three grown up children know that they are no longer able to support them financially. Karla, Arnolt and Sonni seem to live successful city lives; but, on closer inspection, they are in the middle of different life-crises, which have a common cause: lack of independence. After a big family quarrel and a painful revelation of life-lies, every single relative is made aware of how little he or she knows about the others – though still interdependent.
Watch the official Visitors 2013 trailer in HD below or find more Visitors videos on Vidimovie.

Recent Game Reviews
Star Relic
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Amazing Turn Based RTS
This game was thoroughly entertaining. The graphics were cute. So were the sound effects. The strategy took a little time to learn, but it was certainly worth it. The Sodinar are the hardest race to play, but they have amazing powers. The Klosian campaign seemed a little easy. I would like to suggest adding "easy", "medium" and "hard" mode.
Also, I think if you could create a scenario or level editor, you would have satisfy many people.
Mushroom Tower Defense
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Amazing Game! I played it for 5 hours straight!
This is by far the best tower defense game I have ever played. The customization and uniqueness of the towers was captivating. Also it was very enjoyable to try to match towers to the weaknesses of the creeps attacking the farm. Thank you for posting this amazing game!
Hands of War RPG
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Needs Improvement
This game was okay. It lost my interest after a while though. It seemed like a very clever questing system. I also admire the class differences and the factions and their reputations.

So is the short on there?Getting conflicting signals.
Ya. I know it's all digital distribution now. I meant "attached to the print" as it was part of the film. It's part of the contracts with the theaters in the US. They can be fined or sanctioned from getting certain films from a distributor if they violate those contracts.
If something went missing (like a trailer) in the days when actual prints were sent to theaters, it was usually down to someone splicing it out and taking it home or selling it to a collector. It's not super frequent as the guy who cut the prints together, the projectionist, was generally the one union job in US theaters.
When I was a film major, we were still required to shoot on film. All film splicing is low tech. We generally used tape instead of glue but the process is the same.
Fair enough, the US system does seem to have its unique quirks. The timed percentage box office take really only exists there.
In my experience in the UK and here the studio has no say at all in what trailers are shown.
I had no idea it was Jackie Chan but that was definitely the short I got before my screening. I just assumed it was something they were doing to match Disney, Pixar et al. who always show a short before the feature.
Oh fantastic.Because there's a bootleg version of the short on youtube, but it's been horrible chopped up to get past copyright.
I'm not sure why @DaveWallace didn't get it though?
I didn't get it either.
What's there to get? It's Jackie Chan fighting a chicken.
When you were working in the cinema business, did they splice the whole film together onto one large platen or did they still switch cameras using the cigarette burns?
I think they're saying they didn't see it (get it) in their showing of the film. Not that they didn't get a joke.
I don't really know what that means.
In my language they had a single reel projector, the ads and trailers were physically cut off and glued on.
I was making a joke by intentionally misunderstanding what they were asking.
You misunderestimated the levels of dismisunderstanding under which this board can co-operate.
I suspect we're talking about the same thing. The multiple reels are cut together on a single large horizontal plate that they called a platter (wrong term before). The picture below is the best I could find. The platter is the thing on the left.
The way this was handled before was that there were two projectors that were lined up on the screen. At a certain point in the film, there would be dots (cigarette burns) in the upper right hand corner to cue the projectionist to turn the other projector on. I don't know when the switch happened but Tyler Durden explains it a bit in Fight Club even though it was old tech by then.
Arnold is not a great actor, and it's a horrible idea to give him roles like this.
He's got a great screen presence, and he could still draw people in a fun silly action movie, I think. But they really shouldn't let him within ten miles of a serious role. It's pretty obvious in the trailer, too.
A "Toni Erdmann" remake sounds like a terrible idea, and I don't think Hollywood can help turning it into something lesser than the original is. But it could be a great role for Nicholson, that much is obvious.
I'm glad you mentioned Fight Club. It's always the first thing I think of in connection with those cigarette burns.
Yeah...Fight Club was a good book alright
This will either wear thin incredibly quick or be the best thing in Netflix history.

Fight Club 2 wasn't bad either!

Northeast Indiana Friends of Public Education
NEIFPE MISSION STATEMENT: We are citizens, teachers, administrators, and parents united by our support for public education and by concerns for its future. Recent federal and state reform measures have created an over-emphasis on testing and have turned over public education to private interests. We believe that these reforms threaten the well-being of our children and jeopardize their futures. Our goal is to inform ourselves and to start community discussion about the impact of these measures on our public schools and, more importantly, on our children.
