Getting the SHAFT again.
As I may have mentioned, I have a recurring problem with SHAFT productions and the work of their director Akiyuki Shinbo. That problem is that while I like the art direction & design in their shows, the actual material they are adapting leaves me cold. Mainly it's the fact they tend to handle otaku pandering material that'll shift DVD units and merchandise in Japan.
This week they launched the latest of Shinbo's works, an adaptation of the manga Dance In The Vampire Bund. Also launched this week was Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu from frequent SHAFT collaborator SILVER LINK, with Shin Oonuma directing. Oonuma worked on many SHAFT shows like Ef, Natsu no Arashi & Pani Poni Dash. In fact looking at the staff list it's only animation director Miwa Oshima who seems the odd one out, with much the remaining staff coming with Oonuma from Ef. So I'll be looking at that show as well, as it's an interesting comparison to Dance In The Vampire Bund. And finally, to get some perspective, I'll take a look at the first episode of last years Bakemonogatari, the show that cemented Shinbo as an otaku favourite.
Bakemonogatari Episode 1
With a completely different story, or possibly just a different script I'd probably love this. But when you've got characters in a show about ghost stories discussing and using otaku jargon, it feels like they are grasping for those otaku wallets a little too hard.
Visually of course, it's fantastic. While Shinbo's particular fetishes are all over the show – namely typography, geometrical design and near subliminal editing – he allows Akio Watanabe to bring plenty of himself to the show too in the action and character design. The only real flaw in Shinbo's approach for me is his love of dialogue, too many long conversations and monologues slow the show down, even with all the visual tricks he pulls to try and keep them interesting. While that could be said to be the fault of the script, the fact is he does it across a lot of his shows, so it's clearly something he digs himself. To the point where you think rather than a way around bad scripts, Shinbo thinks Wally Wood's 22 Panels That Always Work are the be-all and end-all to visual storytelling.
While it's not for me, though the ghost story aspect comes really close in making me want more, I can definitely see why so many people really loved it. It's not just a lazy otaku pandering show, though there's plenty of that if you are a lazy otaku obsessed with specific character traits and slang, but it has a distinct visual style that will appeal to the aesthetes too.
Dance in the Vampire Bund Episode 1
This time round Shinbo is working with Naoyuki Konno (009-1, Cyborg 009, Kikaider) as animation director and character design, and again, the animation director's own individuality shines through. Though it's worth noting that it's Masahiro Sonoda credited as series director, with Shinbo just listed as director.
Once more the show suffers from its source material. Not only does it feel like someone's Vampire The Masquerade campaign, but the lead is one of those HONEST GUV THEY'RE OVER EIGHTEEN characters that crop in both anime and vampire fiction far too often. And so was absolutely guaranteed to show up in the new vampire anime from the makers of Moonphase. As clever as the actual set up of this first episode is, it's not enough to get me to follow the adventures of an underage vampire princess and her lycanthropic bodyguard.
What is clever about this episode, is it takes the artifice of the Shaft/Shinbo aesthetic and finds a way to make it work in a realistic fashion. The entire episode takes place on a variety panel show where celebrities are debating the existence, or not, of vampires. This gives them an opportunity to actually work their fetishes for typography and monologues into the story in a way that feels natural, rather than cutting to subliminal interstitials or unnatural camera angles. Here that's all part of the fictional TV show within the show.
Watching it again in light of watching Bakemonogatari though, as clever as the device of the TV show is, it doesn't do as a good a job of hiding the weaknesses of the story. Though they've really got their work cut out on hiding the weaknesses in Nozomu Tamaki's trashy manga, so I can cut them some slack. Won't be coming back for more though.
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Episode 1
And what we have here is SHAFT-lite. Or shite for short.
If it wasn't for so many SHAFT alumni on the staff, it'd be really easy to accuse this of blatant me-too-ing of their formula of abstract design. Oh what the hell, it's a blatant attempt at recreating the formula that's served SHAFT well on a lower budget and with less able hands.
Most egregiously you can see it in the ending credits which hamfistedly tries to do what Shinbo does with typography to the English translation of the songs lyrics. And fails miserably. But that's just the topper on a show that clumsily tries for a minimalist "manga on the screen" approach along the likes of Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei. Unlike that show, they haven't got a decent manga to crib for the design notes, and so they just end up sticking ziptone everywhere willy nilly.
Which is a shame, as the actual concept for the series is fine, even though it feels like a failed pitch for a DS game that someone turned into a light novel. Classes at a bizarre school fight one another in exam battles, involving the summoning of super-deformed versions of themselves. Combined with the visuals of the battles, in particularly the overhead views of characters like pieces in a tactical board game, it leaves you with the impression that someone really wants this made into a videogame at some point.
However videogame aesthetics do not a good cartoon make, particularly when the game doesn't even exist yet.

Down East 2013 ©
In many cities, municipal governments have to worry about things like drive-by shootings, road rage, and freeway congestion. In Bangor the concerns are a bit different.
The talk at recent Queen City council meetings has been about a dress code — for a certain thirty-one-foot-tall lumberman. After long and serious deliberations, it seems red plaid shirts, knit caps, and dark logging pants are acceptable for the city's Paul Bunyan statue. It's the outfit he's worn for close to forty years. But he is not allowed, under any circumstances, to wear anything else. Especially not slogan-bearing T-shirts.
The issue came into question when a local radio station asked permission to dress the city-owned giant in a T-shirt reading: "Welcome to Bangor, Mr. Imus," in honor of a scheduled visit by controversial radio personality Don Imus. The I-Man, known for his strong opinions and frequent insults, planned to broadcast a late October show from the Bangor Civic Center, which sits behind Paul Bunyan, and the host station thought it would be nice to have the city icon extend a greeting.
Mayor Patricia Blanchette would have none of it, calling Imus "rude, crude, and very offensive," and the council was asked to come up with a statute that would govern use of the statue. (Imus, in turn, spent part of his nationally syndicated show lambasting the mayor of Bangor.) According to City Manager Edward Barrett, the council "adopted a policy that does not allow for the use of our public monuments for any advertising or promotional purposes."
The city manager notes that in his ten years working for Bangor he can remember only one other occasion where Bunyan donned togs for an event. "There was a Shriners convention in the city, and they put a fez on his head." Nevermore.

Comments: Great Multi Tool. Scrubber, Metal scraper and shovel all work flawlessly. Really help me get to those hard to get places in my tank.
Comments: works great, easy to use
Comments: Algae scaper is a great item for maintenance. Only, downside to the item is the algae pad or glass scaper is a little small for larger tanks.
Comments: I have a 30" tall tank and really needed this scraper. It is well made, the attachments go on and off easily. Can't complain about anything with this scraper, especially the price!
Comments: Great product. The 3 heads are easy to swap on and off. It has a long reach, and the bristle pad can rotate for corners and stuff. The metal scraper is the best. It isnt sharp and has dulled corners so it wont screw up the glass.
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

Anthony Perkins Movies
An shy, slender actor whose name became virtually synonymous with legendary screen
Norman Bates despite numerous solid performances in films outside the
originated series,
Anthony Perkins
' sensitive and versatile early performances remain unfortunately obscured by his portrayal of the gender-bending sociopath that made filmgoers reluctant to shower alone for decades to come.
Born to actor
Osgood Perkins
in April 1932 (who would die when

decided to follow in his father's footsteps when, at age 15, he became a member of the Actor's Equity. Soon taking the stage in summer stock, the fledgling and humble thespian embraced even the more unglamorous aspects of stage work and worked tirelessly to develop into an actor who could find celluloid success. Subsequent performances in such Rollins College productions as The Importance of Being Ernest helped him to develop the necessary skills, and following a relocation to Hollywood,
was cast alongside
Spencer Tracy
in the film adaptation of
Ruth Gordon
's dramatic play The Actress. Reluctant to dive headfirst into what he considered the questionable ethics of Tinsletown,
packed his bags for Columbia University. Landing roles in such Golden Age of Television staples as Studio One and G.E. Theater found the actor continuing to gain positive notice and exposure, with the success carrying over to Broadway, where
would gain the respect of some of New York's harshest critics for his performance as a college student suspected of homosexuality in
Robert Anderson
's Tea and Sympathy. Nearly becoming a teen idol after crooning "A Little Love Goes a Long, Long Way" in the Goodyear TV Playhouse production Joey,
was signed to Epic Records and later RCA Victor shortly before earning an Oscar nomination for his breakthrough roles in both
William Wyler
Friendly Persuasion
(1956) and
Robert Mulligan
Fear Strikes Out
(1957). With his portrayal as a timid pacifist and a disturbed baseball player respectively,
' sensitive performances riveted audiences and resulted in numerous film offers.
Appearing in
The Matchmaker
(1958) and
On the Beach
(1959) in the following years,
' screen image as a soft-spoken everyman would be forever shattered with the release of
Alfred Hitchcock
's controversial masterpiece
. Purposefully cast against type as twitchy, psychotic mama's boy Norman Bates, it would be that characterization which would haunt
' career for the rest of his days. In an attempt to shake the association,
would move to Europe after becoming a minor cultural icon following his role in
Goodbye Again
(1961) (for which he was named Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival). Appearing in such efforts as
Orson Welles
The Trial
(1963) and
Is Paris Buring?
(1966) throughout much of the duration of the 1960s,
made somewhat of a return to American screens with such later efforts as
Pretty Poison
(1970), and
(1975). Working more frequently in television moving into the 1980s (1978's
Les Miserables
The Sins of Dorian Gray
also continued to thrill theatergoers with roles in such films as
The Black Hole
(1979) and
(1980) before returning to the character of Norman Bates in the inevitable sequel
Psycho II
. Directed this time by
Richard Franklin
, the film proved a success and ranked among the top ten releases of 1983. From this point forward there would be little deviation from the twitchy theatricals that
had perfected, and though entertaining in such efforts as
Crimes of Passion
(1984) and
Edge of Sanity
(1989), contemporary audiences would sadly witness little of the talented actor's pre-
dramatic range. Associated almost exclusively with horror films by the onset of the 1990s,
would return to the role of Bates for one last outing in the made-for-cable
Psycho IV: The Beginning
before serving as host to the short-lived television horror anthology series Chillers (1990).
Taking the director's chair for the curious but widely ignored

On September 12, 1992,
succumbed to AIDS-related pneumonia in Hollywood, CA, leaving behind a haunting but hopeful message to those who have suffered from the disease in an uncredited epilogue to the AIDS drama

A Demon in My View
Anthony Perkins, in one of his last roles, is the sole highlight of this mundane, German-made psychological thriller, based on a novel by Ruth Rendell. Perkins plays Arthur, an obsessive-compulsive English bachelor with a history of far more destructive habits -- the worst of which include his reign of terror as the "Kenbourne Killer," who is responsible for the strangulation murders of several prostitutes. Like a certain legendary Perkins character of yore, Arthur has some Oedipal issues that need working out and fixates his mother fixation on the department-store mannequin he keeps in the secluded boarding house where he spends his "retirement." When this decidedly one-sided relationship is disrupted by the sudden loss of the dummy, poor Arthur goes 'round the bend again... but the blame for the new string of murders falls on one of his neighbors instead. Bogged down by pedestrian direction and a romantic subplot that serves little purpose, this attempt at a detailed portrayal of madness is kept aloft (barely) on the basis of Perkins' brooding, restrained performance. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Daughter of Darkness
This made-for-cable vampire potboiler is distinguished mainly by the presence of director Stuart Gordon (of Re-Animator fame) and a sadly pallid looking Anthony Perkins in one of his last roles. Radiant Mia Sara plays schoolteacher Catherine Thatcher, whose trip to Budapest in search of her father (whom she has never met) reveals the grim underbelly of Romanian society in the dark days of Ceausescu. In an interesting twist, the dictator's sadistic secret police have become a veritable den of vampires (a barb-tongued breed dating back to Medieval times). Plots within plots unfold to reveal the true identity of Catherine's father. Gordon makes good use of authentic locations and somber atmosphere, blending the standard gothic look with a feel of social and spiritual decay -- but the bland script fails to exploit the metaphorical possibilities of this setting, and the silly horror effects make it hard to take seriously. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

I'm Dangerous Tonight
A made-for-TV effort from horror director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), this supernatural thriller is ostensibly based on the novella of the same name by Cornell Woolrich -- but the title is pretty much where the similarity ends. The plot involves a possessed Aztec ceremonial cloak (once used to line a sacred burial chamber) which poisons the soul of anyone who wears it. An improbable string of events sees the cloak turned into a little slip of a dress -- donned by several different women, but worn to evil perfection by Madchen Amick (Twin Peaks's Shelly). I'm Dangerous Tonight features colorful supporting performances from Anthony Perkins and R. Lee Ermey. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Add Edge of Sanity to top of Queue
This demented fusion of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with the legend of Jack the Ripper marks one of the final roles for Anthony Perkins, and certainly one of the weirdest performances of his career. Perkins plays Dr. Jekyll as more of a dedicated 19th-century man of medicine than an obsessed eccentric -- whose research into a safe form of anaesthetic leads to the accidental discovery of cocaine! Jekyll's inadvertent freebasing of the vapors from a cocaine/ether mixture triggers his transformation into Hyde - a murderer of prostitutes who dubs himself "Jack," thus allowing the convenient transition into the "Jack the Ripper" phase of the plot. This Hungarian production has fairly high production values, but Perkins' over-the-top antics and some glaring anachronisms (Jack's streetwalker victims sport accessories that look like Madonna's hand-me-downs) make it impossible to take seriously as a horror film. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

For his third outing as disturbed innkeeper Norman Bates, Anthony Perkins directed as well as starred in the thriller Psycho III. This time out, Norman is still manning the desk at the Bates Motel, where he now has an assistant, Duane (Jeff Fahey), and a new long-term tenant, Maureen Coyle (Diana Scarwid). Maureen has been seeing Duane and has some issues to resolve in her life; she gave up her vows as a nun not long ago, and she isn't sure just how she feels about either spiritual or earthly matters. Norman takes an interest in Maureen, which may not be good for her long-term health -- after all, the last woman with the initials "M.C." who stayed in that room (and used the shower) met with a rather nasty fate. Perkins played Norman Bates one more time, in the made-for-cable Psycho IV: The Beginning; a short-lived TV series followed, Bates Motel, in which Perkins did not participate. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Joanna Crane (Kathleen Turner) is a cold, workaholic sportswear designer, divorced and dedicated only to her job. Once strapped into that role, Joanna looks for an "out" and finds it by donning a wig and hitting the pavement as a $50/trick hooker named China Blue. Explicit scenes show her at work on her night job, including a long S and M segment with a policeman. While making money as China Blue, Joanna runs into a menacing, fanatic preacher (Anthony Perkins) who is out to save her from this life of sin, but in the meantime, he is also busy watching nude girly shows. As China Blue and the sexually ambivalent Reverend heat up their relationship, he becomes difficult to read: is this psycho reverend a killer? While China Blue is plying her trade, Bobby Grady (John Laughlin) has finally realized after 12 years of marriage that his wife Amy (Annie Potts) is frigid and just as he has this remarkably delayed insight, he is assigned by Joanna's boss to find out if she is stealing designs or not. By tracking Joanna, Bobby sees her transformation as China Blue and as might be expected, sex is not far behind. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

For the Term of His Natural Life, Australian novelist Marcus Clarke's epic tale of the hardships and deprivations of his native country in the 1830s, served as the basis for one of the most famous Australian films of the silent era. That was in 1927; 56 years later, Clarke's novel again went before the cameras, this time resulting in a three-part, six-hour TV miniseries. Colin Friels starred as Londoner Rufus Dawes, who thanks to treachery and deceit was arrested on a trumped-up charge and transported to a penal colony in Tasmania, while an impostor laid claim to his birthright. Eighteen years into his incarcaration, Rufus managed to escape, and was subsequently reunited with his sweet Sylvia (Susan Lyons), daughter of the colony's warden. Unfortunately, a happy ending was not in the cards for the hero and heroine. For the Term of His Natural Life aired over Australia's Nine Network in 1983. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A sequel to one of the most popular horror films of all time, this psychological thriller received a pleasantly surprised, positive critical reception. Anthony Perkins returns as Norman Bates, who has just been released from an insane asylum after 22 years, having been judged clinically sane by the State of California over the objections of Lila Crane Loomis (Vera Miles), sister to one of Norman's murder victims. Norman returns home to the hotel and hilltop mansion he once inhabited with his mother. As a parole condition, Norman is hired at a local diner, where he struggles to join mainstream society, despite the stares of patrons aware of his past. At the diner, Norman befriends Mary (Meg Tilly), a waitress, and it seems that he may be putting some semblance of a life back together. But then Norman begins to experience hallucinatory encounters with his long-dead mother, including a handwritten note, a phone call, and a sighting of her standing at her favorite window. Is Norman's psychosis manifesting itself again, or are old enemies attempting to drive him back into an institution? As the pressure mounts, bodies pile up, and Norman's fragile hold on normality becomes more and more tenuous. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Rufus Excalibur ffolkes (Moore), who for some reason prefers not to capitalize his last name, is a scuba-diving adventurer for hire with a sharp mind, a quick wit, a fondness for cats, and a certain distrust of women. When terrorist Lou Kramer (Anthony Perkins) takes over an oil drilling platform in the North Sea and threatens to blow it sky high if his demands are not met, ffolkes is called in by Admiral Brinsden (James Mason) to foil Kramer's scheme before it's too late. ffolkes, also released as North Sea Hijack and Assault Force, was based on the novel Esther, Ruth, and Jennifer by Jack Davies, who also penned the screenplay ("Esther, Ruth, and Jennifer," incidentally, are the code names for the ship, drilling rig, and platform seized by Kramer in the film). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This begins to lead to problems, because Sylvia is young and still lives at home with her parents, who are beginning to suspect something has been going on.

Based on a novel by the iconoclastic Richard Condon (of Manchurian Candidate and Prizzi's Honor fame), Winter Kills was one of the vanguard efforts in the "JFK conspiracy" school of literature. Jeff Bridges stars as Nick Kegan, the scion of a powerful Kennedyesque family, who has done his best to make himself obscure after the assassination of his older brother, the former president of the U.S. While working as an oil rigger, Nick is introduced to a terminally ill gentleman who claims to have been "the second assassin." His curiosity aroused, Nick begins digging into what was supposed to be a closed case -- and, predictably, what he finds out isn't pretty. This, however, is the only predictable element of this mesmerizingly mazelike yarn. A failure when first released, Winter Kills fared somewhat better when director William Richert arranged to rerelease the film through his own company and restore several scenes that had been cut by its previous backers. Elizabeth Taylor appears uncredited as one "Lola Comante." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

My days start with a check of my calendar. I make sure that my files are ready to go with me to court, my research is complete and ready for any consultations, and my list of calls to return is intact. However, despite my best efforts to keep my day on track, I am usually derailed. It could be a call from a Judge needing a lawyer for someone at an emergency custody hearing, or a potential client who needs legal assistance immediately, or simply a phone call that took much longer than anticipated. However, keeping on "schedule" isn't my main concern on a daily basis, it is much loftier than that; perhaps, a bit audacious.
Before I spout out what I really want to accomplish – first, let me say this: I have no problem looking past the client's burdens. Theft does not faze me; adultery doesn't even make me blink. Moreover, if the client is the accuser, I don't critique the position they are in now. Neither the client nor I can change the circumstances that brought us together. I do not judge, I do not minimize, and I choose not to inflame, what is already an unfortunate situation. What I do try to do is understand that the client is in pain and frankly, it doesn't matter to me which side of the courtroom they will eventually stand.
So, after checking (and re-checking!) my calendar, reviewing my notes and files, and putting my to-call list next to the phone, my schedule of daily duties begin. The first item of business is to ease my client's suffering.

text: I have seen a lot of information on the internet about low-cost wifi tablets from India. I have spoken to a reputable tech company in the states about ordering them and they quoted a price of $37 ea when bought in bulk. They did not mention who the company was they were purchasing from. For my business I am looking for a small, 4"x4" wifi tablet that needs to be able to log in to an admin website and perform a very simple function. Any ideas as how to get a product like this?

Yes we do have Gary Johnson Gary Johnson didn't -- -- David -- from New York.
Gary Johnson can you hear me David -- here I -- David excellent to have you with us tonight Gary thank you for being -- -- -- Did we we suggested that you might have somewhat of a neutral perspective on what's happened on what happened tonight.
Obviously Democrats saying that the president held his own.
Are Republicans say it was a slam dunk for Romney what say you.
Much ado about nothing I mean the country's in deep do do we've gotta take some really.
We all we all have to take on mutual sacrifice of -- gonna save ourselves from what I think's gonna be a monetary collapse.
So they got the two of them arguing over.
Lowering corporate tax rates -- about eliminating.
Corporate tax -- about eliminating income tax how about abolishing the IRS.
Replacing all that -- one federal consumption tax.
In this case I'm embracing the fair tax I think that's the answer to tens of millions.
Of American jobs you got Romney talking about.
Terror of sunshine.
How about the whole notion of free market.
You got both of them arguing over who's gonna spend more money on Medicare.
When we -- to have a raging debate in this country over how we're gonna cut Medicare because we're never gonna balance the budget if we don't take on these really difficult issues and Medicare is really the budget buster.
But Gary I would I would guess another that you thought they were terrific -- I'm -- -- get -- -- -- -- explain to our viewers again we're having a little different calling with a satellite from Denver as soon as we get.
-- in the satellite backing condition we will continue but meanwhile we've got a great guest here with Gary Johnson libertarian candidate if you -- already guessed.
Hi Gary I I appreciate a lot of what you're saying in fact I was kind of surprised and I suspect a lot of Tea Party here's another.
Republican conservatives might have been upset at the fact that.
Mitt Romney didn't express.
Enough talk about.
Just getting rid of a lot of the big government spending in fact he talked about keeping.
Certain spending for programs like education in full speed -- a lot of conservative Republicans not just the libertarians the conservative Republicans might say.
Hey look why we need a federal Department of Education in the first.
Let's just take the federal department of education for first starters look federal Department of Education gives each state about eleven cents out of every state that every state spends.
But economists was sixteen cents -- the strings attached federal government says you have to do -- BC indeed they give you eleven cents but it costs you sixteen cents to accomplish that.
Look federal Department of Education established in 1979.
Under Jimmy Carter what has been value added about the Department of Education.
And then they talk about college tuitions tonight look the reason the college tuitions are so high is because the government.
Guarantees student loans -- if there were not government guaranteed student loans I guarantee you tuition costs would be much much much lower because colleges and universities -- -- fill up their classrooms and right now they are immune from pricing.
Gary Johnson it is great to see you get my friend he continues on by the way very quickly we got a throwback to deal but just.
Tell us who you thought 11 of the other.
Well well I do you can see this ever have been -- it -- very quickly I win the debate I'm not a third choice I'm the only choice I wanna make up pledged -- -- how -- but I suspect it has that would be the answer Gary -- great to see of my friend thank you very much from Chicago let's.

Imagine…Lace at Waddesdon
- 26 March — 26 October 2014
Continuing our contemporary programme, lace-makers and selected artists have been invited to respond to the collection at Waddesdon.
While lace and accessories from the 17th to the 20th centuries acquired by Baroness Edmond de Rothschild will be displayed, the new works are inspired by aspects of Waddesdon as diverse as architecture, automata, porcelain and panelling and will be shown in the historic interiors, challenging the traditional concept of lace.
Imagine….Lace at Waddesdon has been organised by Waddesdon Manor and Lace 21, comprising members from the Lace Guild, the Lace Society and the Ring of Tatters. The group has a multi-faceted approach to lace, seeing it as an art form for the 21st century.
Contemporary at Waddesdon: Jan Dunning – Rascal Shadows
- 26 March — 26 October 2014
Jan Dunning is a photographic artist and art educator. She will create a playfully surreal trail, which leads visitors through the house via unexpected images and installations, culminating in a camera obscura in one of the turrets.
Inspired by real-life stories of the evacuees who lived here during the Second World War, Dunning's subtle and imaginative interventions will bring an alternative, magical perspective to Waddesdon's collection and history.
Royal Spectacle: Eighteenth-Century Court Ceremony in Books, Prints and Drawings
- 26 March — 26 October 2014
This exhibition further celebrates the publication of Waddesdon's Books and Bookbiindings catalogue (published earlier in 2013), and highlights illustrated books published on the occasion of court festivities, celebrations and spectacles.
These lavishly illustrated books, containing large format engravings, document the many extravagant festivities and ceremonies staged for the French court during the 17th and 18th centuries to mark the life cycle of births, marriages and deaths.
Fanciful theatrical stage settings are the backdrop for richly costumed processions, equestrian tournaments, theatre performances, church ceremonies and spectacular firework displays.
Intended for the Royal family and aristocracy the books are presented in exquisite bindings. Although focused on France, the exhibition also includes some comparative material from other European courts.
Waddesdon at War
- 26 March — 26 October 2014
This in-house exhibition marks the centenary of the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. Drawn from the Archive and Rothschild memorabilia collections, with loans from other collections, it will look at the Manor and Estate during the war from the perspective of the family and staff.
As Europe was fractured by the conflict, the exhibition will also explore the impact of the war on the wider Rothschild family, including those in Austria, Germany and France.
Mosaic Menagerie: A Roman Masterpiece from Lod
- 5 June — 26 October 2014
A rare Roman mosaic pavement excavated in Israel forms the centrepiece of this special exhibition held in the Stables Coach House at Waddesdon Manor.
In 1996 a splendid series of Roman mosaic floors was accidentally discovered during local road works in Lod, just outside Tel Aviv in Israel (Lydda in the Ancient World). Finally excavated in 2009 by the Israel Antiquities Authority, the largest and most elaborate of these will be displayed at Waddesdon Manor in 2014, having toured a number of museums in the US and Europe including the Metropolitan Museum, New York, the Field Museum, Chicago and the Louvre. It is currently on display at the Altesmuseum in Berlin.
Fame and Friendship: Pope, Roubiliac and the Portrait Bust
- 18 June — 26 October 2014
No contemporary figure in 18th-century Britain has been more widely depicted than the poet Alexander Pope. Widely considered to be the leading literary figure of the age, Pope took great pains over how he was represented and carefully fashioned his public persona through images, published letters and printed editions of his works.
In this exhibition, curated by eminent sculpture scholar, Professor Malcolm Baker, Distinguished Professor in the Department of History of Art at California University Riverside, USA, some of the most celebrated painted portraits of Pope will be shown alongside a selection of prints.
The centrepiece of the exhibition though will consist of eight different versions of the same portrait bust of Pope by the leading sculptor of the period, Louis François Roubiliac, whose busts are amongst the greatest portrait sculptures of the eighteenth century, a period in which the medium found new prominence.
They convey the compelling and intense sensibility of a sitter who, as well as being a significant public figure, also endured much physical pain. This revealing exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to explore how replication was central to 18th century sculptural practice as well as how an author's fame and friendships could be celebrated through sculpture.
Winter light at Waddesdon: Bruce Munro
- 13 November 2013 — 1 January 2014 *on now

Funny isn't it, I decide to take some time out, because I feel jaded, uploading for uploadings sake. I start to archieve some old shots - then get the buzz back, tho processing for my pleasure - and I've processed more images in the last week than I've done in quite some time, and for me some of my best work - and not a DM in sight (well depends what you call DM ).
So New Years ressolution, just process the stuff I want !!
This is from Saltburn (and no its not HDR), taken 2 years ago, I could never get it right, when I tried HDR it was noisy as hell, so back to the drawing board, a bit of manual(ish) blending.

Sorry I cannot positively identify the aircraft, but landing gear bracing and wing strut arrangements are not consistent with Stearmans.
Posted by Mark Breeding on September 27,2012 | 04:23 PM
You are looking at the wrong gear bracing and wing strut arrangements.
Posted by Don Lee on October 1,2012 | 08:43 PM
... From what can see of the plane's struts and tail, it looks like it could be a Pitcairn Mailwing, or at least similar to the Mailwing I can see in my pix of NASM from my last visit in 2005.

If this were to happen in Houston, you've see naked women at every game. But you'd think someone would be willing to strip down for a WINning team. In this story, that's not the case...
[Lost Letterman] - At the tail end of what turned out to be a blowout win by No. 4 Syracuse Tuesday night over unranked Indiana at the Carrier Dome, a female Hoosiers fan was apparently so frustrated that she stripped down to her bra and panties. The result is this glorious photo below.
Wrote the person who submitted the image to SyracuseFan.com:
"About 2 minutes left in the game I look to my right and this IU chick is sitting there in her bra and panties. I think she was sobbing a little. She had stripped down almost buck naked. As soon as the horn sounded she slipped her jeans and red IU t-shirt back on.'
You have to admire the nonchalance as she continues to intently watch the court even after the clothing strike.
Fast food walkouts are expected across the nation and right here in Houston.
Below are the 5 ways fast food messes with your head!
1. The golden arches are designed to make you hungry. The combination of bright red and yellow somehow jumpstarts your metabolism. So you automatically get hungry when you see a McDonald's sign.
2. When you eat fast food, you have to keep eating it . . . or you'll get depressed. Studies found that eating a high-fat, high-sugar diet changes the chemical activity in your brain. And if you stop, you'll get anxious and sad.
3. Fast food can be as addictive as drugs. There are tons of studies about how eating fatty, sugar-filled foods can lead to compulsive behavior and stimulate your brain the way hard drugs do. The studies are usually on rats and mice, but still.
4. Fast food makes it harder to appreciate beauty. Researchers claim that just SEEING fast food logos can limit your ability to appreciate art and music. Because now you're more restless, and geared toward instant gratification.
5. You can't make good financial choices. Researchers interviewed people about money, and the people who were standing near a fast food restaurant during the interview made the worst decisions.
In particular, the study found (from self-reports on a survey) that those who live in a neighborhood with a high proportion of fast food restaurants glean less appreciation from looking at photos of natural beauty and report negative responses when listening to aesthetic melodies.
