Correct. As early as his 1977 Rolling Stone interview he spoke about it being only 75% of what he wanted. And yeah, the original plan for ESB & ROTJ was just a restoration & re-release, but with work gearing up for the PT, it's obvious that they got carried away. TBH, I love the original version of SW/ANH because of its rough-and-ready style, not despite it. It worked back then, made a fortune, and taken in context as a film made in 1976/1977, it works now. If anything, the original version of SW/ANH dates less when compared to some of the dodgy stop-motion effects in ESB & ROTJ, the Tauntauns being a prime example. I do understand the desire to keep these films alive as credible, acceptable entries in a franchise that is still ongoing (as opposed to remaking them), but that could be done far more subtly than what's been done. Blinking Ewoks? Come on...
I like the original SW OOT version more too, because it really comes off as more gritty, darker movie in many respects. The additions (when the Luke/Obiwan's Landspeeder enters Mos Eisley) give it a more cheesy effect because it sticks out like a sore thumb from the real locations in 1977.
I always thought it was one of the best scenes in the saga. We're watching a man behind an expressionless mask, camera fixed on him tightly, emote inner turmoil. John Williams' score doesn't hurt. It said so much without saying a word. Then they changed it to make it say a word. That word being "noooooo". Utter ruination. A good musician knows what notes not to play.
What makes great filmaking is not spelling out every word to the viewer, that is why this change was so meaningless. Just the camera panning on Vader is enough information for the viewer to come to the conclusion that he doesn't want to see his son suffer anymore. It's just like showing the Wampa in the ESB/SE, even Lucas admitted in the DVD Commentary that the scene maybe more haunting by not showing him and hearing him screen in the backround, yet he still made the change?
I saw even more in that closeup of Vader - his entire dark past flashing past the eyes hidden behind that monstrous mask, conveyed simply by the far more rapid, human movement of his head than we were used to seeing up until then. The added verbal outburst is complete overkill and undermines the sheer power of the purely physical gesture which follows - when he changes from an evil, possessed machine back into a human being attempting to right at least one wrong deed that he's committed. There was simply no need to reinforce or elaborate upon Vader lifting the Emperor off his feet and hurling him down the reactor shaft. It was perfect as it was.
If "big nooos" were some fundamental sin of dramatic storytelling, I wouldn't be able to watch any Star Wars film. In terms of pure visceral reaction, I think it makes sense that a parent wouldn't stand silent while their child's life is under direct threat. Yeah, I get the conflict aspect. But that conflict of inner emotion up against an ordained duty to a particular side of the Force has likewise had its moments during the course of five prior films (okay, maybe four given that ANH Vader is pretty one note). It works fine for me that the inner conflict is slightly less emphasized in favor of a moment of Anakin's outward expressions of humanity.
I happen to be of the opinion that these are "noooooooo" good either. The last thing Star Wars needed was a retconned instance of this cheesy trope.
When I heard about this I was expecting it to be the worst thing ever; but huh... it's not actually *that* bad. If this had been in the original film I don't think anyone would be complaining about it now. Sure, you might say that the fact it wasn't in the original film means it shouldn't be there now, but as someone who grew up with the Special Edition VHS farting box, if I were to now watch the original theatrical releases, I would find a lot missing, for the worse.
Yes we would be complaining now even if it had been in the original version. Just like a bunch of people have criticized Vader's "Nooo" in Revenge because it's pure narm despite it being in the original version of that film. You assume too much. The "Nooo" is dumb original or not.
You mean Lucas put "Noooooo!" in ROTJ, too? After watching the clip, it's not as bad as the "Nooooo!" in ROTS, but (like a lot of changes) I prefer how it was done originally.
Bless him, but nothing really surprises me with George anymore. It's like "bring my shuttle" Perfect as it was, but nooooooooo, had to go and change it...
Screw it. I like big "NOOOOOOs", cuz it's straightforward, unambiguous, and requires no level of sophistication to understand. I also don't have a cheesyness-filter in my film-viewing goggles - if I did then they'd just get clogged with cheese constantly, because its everywhere.
Actually I love it. I think it works so well. I mean I can take it either way but in the Saga version it ties in so well to the end of III which is the point. I don't know about you but to me when I watch IV-VI I am watching a fallen Anakin Skywalker in a encasing that traps him. Strictly based on the movies alone IV-VI leave so many questions so many things left out which the PT fills in about as well as you possibly can while also making individual movies (unless you made them 3 hours each to add all kinds of side stories and history). I don't know where the exact start of "Noooooo!" as a comic riff was. The Simpsons I guess but remember that it all started with ESB in the first place! I guess no one watches Luke scream "Nooooo!" without laughing now? That's the thing though. I really can't at all go so far as to call it perfect. It isn't. If the shuttle had been in their already and he took it out I think it's fair to say that you'd then not like that change. I don't think the movies are perfection in the least. I like them. They are very good but nothing is perfect anyway. The only thing I would say that should have happened is that their should be the SE's or as I would call them the Saga Editions as opposed to Special which are the versions that tie I-VI together then the original versions should be available to see those iterations of the story.
If people want symmetry between ROTS and ROTJ, I'd much rather see them rework/eliminate the NOOOOOO in ROTS. That whole scene is a parody from the point Vader asks about Padme (words Vader should never say -- "Padme", "Snuffleupagus", "Titicaca") I don't know how anyone can watch it without laughing. And I'm a big fan of James Earl Jones, but that Nooooooo, was that really the best take they could get?
Because it's depressing. You think of something flashy to say after you've lost literally everything you love, by your own hand, and are bound as a slave to an evil emperor and forced to live in perpetual suffering for the rest of your life.
That's the point though. It's such a depressing moment and then that "Nooo" hits you out of nowhere. It's so ridiculous and over the top that it's sort of funny in of itself, which IS BAD for a moment that is NOT intended to be funny. It turns the moment into pure narm thus (kind of) ruining it. For RotJ it completely ruins the moment (in my opinion) and for me it doesn't exist.
It's supposed to be depressing. But that's my point, it was so badly done, it could have been done a hundred different ways, any of which would have been better. Someone so steeped in evil at that point would not ask about Padme. Vader already dove head first into the hate pool. He would not feel an ounce of regret. He'd be like, "**** it". Breaking out of the restraints came off as laughable. Stumbling off the table came off laughable. Hayden's visual performance arching his arms up while JEJ's NOOOOOOOO was overdubbed was laughable. It all just came off the worst way possible and it was the complete opposite of what the birth of Darth Vader should have been. Instead of Anakin disappearing into Vader, they ruined Vader by turning him into Anakin. Anakin from AOTC.
Not laughing out loud, but I certainly never took it very seriously. The only really well-acted "Noooooo" in the films is Obi-Wan in TPM, and even there it still seems cheesy and over-the-top.
It does show that Vader is really good deep down inside but it's just awful, pointless and unneeded. Everytime I watch the 2004 version on DVD I always feel like the "nooooooooooooo" is still there.
Pointless addition that detracts from the scene. It telegraphs his intentions and softens the impact of the moment when he takes action.
Dreadful. Pretty sure this was George's way of thumbing his nose at fans of the OT one last time. At least, I hope it's the last.
I love it. The scene worked splendidly without it, but now, Anakin has been more humanized. His reawakened emotions shine through more clearly and that makes his return from the dark side stronger. I also like the symbolism of him turning to the dark side with a rather pathetic "Nooo" and returning from it with a more forceful one. In ROTS, he gives up and in ROTJ, he takes action. He didn't. It's a different recording - one that fits perfectly into ROTJ, IMO. It's like it's always been there! - It's on the outskirts. - Good. How far is it? /LM
Nah, it just another example of a director who added something because he doesn't feel the audience is smart enough so everything needs to be spelled out. I love movies where some things are left to the viewer and the director doesn't telegraph every emotion. It worked well in 1983, and there was no need to change it. I always think about the movie 'Witness' and how the director says in the commentary that he didn't show the conversation between Harrison Ford and the Amish boy because if he had done his job during the movie, the viewer would know EXACTLY what was said.

The Community of Christ is the second-largest of the factions arising from the Latter Day Saint movement started by Joseph Smith, Jr.. in 1830. Headquartered in Independence, Missouri, this church counts approximately 250,000 adherents worldwide.
The Community of Christ and Polygamy
While the mainline Utah Mormon church (which holds the allegiance of most of the world's Mormons) is known for its practice of polygamy, the Community of Christ never accepted that doctrine. Originally insisting that Joseph Smith had nothing to do with it, the Community of Christ leadership in recent years has come to recognize that Smith was indeed behind its inception. This has not changed their basic opposition to polygamy, however.
Comparison to Orthodoxy and to Utah Mormonism
Whereas the Utah Mormons hold to their "Eternal Progression" doctrine that says that God the Father was once a man, and that man can become a "god," the Community of Christ has always rejected this principle. Although traditionally affirming that God is indeed eternal, and the only God in existence, Community of Christ doctrine formerly tended to emphasize the complete separateness of the three Persons (while never going so far as to refer to Them as three separate "gods," like the Utah LDS Mormons do). This is in opposition to the Orthodox doctrine of the Holy Trinity. However, in recent years the Community of Christ has gradually shifted to a more orthodox Trinitarian viewpoint.
The Community of Christ emphatically rejects the "Book of Abraham" (with its concept of multiple "gods"), together with all Mormon temple rituals (Baptism for the Dead, "Endowment" and Eternal Marriage). Its temple in Independence is open to the public (unlike Utah Mormon temples), dedicated to the fostering of world peace and "healing of the spirit." Though its outward organizational structure is similar to Utah Mormonism, it held until very recently to the concept that its prophet-president should be a direct lineal descendant of Joseph Smith. Unlike the LDS church, the Community of Christ ordains women to all of its "priesthood" offices. Women's ordination is traditionally opposed by the Orthodox Church.
Affirming the basic Mormon belief in an "open canon" of Holy Scripture (a concept rejected by the Orthodox Church), the Community of Christ accepts Joseph Smith's "Inspired Version" of the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and its own edition of the Doctrine & Covenants-- but not the Pearl of Great Price. Substantial controversy emerged in the 1960's and 70's as major leaders of the Community of Christ were accused of not truly believing in the Book of Mormon, and in general seeking to liberalize their faith. This ultimately led to a split in their organization in 1984, with its decision to ordain women. The mainline Community of Christ church has emerged in the early twenty-first century as a comparatively liberal version of Joseph Smith's spurious cult.

I know I've seen these before...the "billet" style grilles (upper and lower) for the V6 2005 Stang in polished black chrome but now that I'm looking to buy, I can't find them anymore. Does anyone know who has these? The polished chrome or brushed finish are a dime-a-dozen but I prefer to have my front end blacked out. Thanks in advance for your help.
I would guess that you may just want to consider buying a standard billet grille setup, take it to a local chromer or powder coater, and have them apply an appropriate finish. Once done, polish the living you-know-what out of it, mount it and its now uniquely different than the norm.
Don't know abut the billet, but Street Scene has upper and lower in black chrome for GT and V6 mustangs.
http://v6mustangstuff.com/05StreetScene.htm or http://v6mustangstuff.com/05Exterior.htm scroll down some.
http://www.crossroadzdirect.com/ If it doesn't go automatically to the page then click on 2005 Mustang, Body/Exterior, Street Scene, then scroll down to SSE grilles.
You know what the biggest problem with these grill kits is? They generally dont REPLACE the oldd grill, they just lay on top of it! ~ cheesy ~ imo

Chicago Blackhawks
The NHL was separated into two divisions for the last time in 1937-38. Toronto finished first in the Canadian Division, while the Boston Bruins won the American Division. The two division winners faced off in a best of five series to decide which of the teams would advance to the Stanley Cup final. Gordie Drillon, who had led the NHL in scoring during the regular season, helped the Leafs eliminate the Bruins in three straight games. Meanwhile, the rival New York Americans defeated the New York Rangers in three games and Chicago beat Montreal two games to one. The winners met, with the Black Hawks dumping New York to earn the opportunity to face the Leafs for the Stanley Cup. Hawks' goalie Mike Karakas had broken his toe in the series against the Americans, and was unable to start the Cup final. Chicago manager/coach Bill Stewart announced that the Hawks would use the New York Rangers' Dave Kerr in net, but the Leafs' Conn Smythe objected. Kerr had, after all, finished second in the NHL with a goals-against average of just 2.00. Stewart and Smythe got into a shoving match, with the result that the Hawks were forced to use Alfie Moore -- a seldom-used goaltender for the New York Americans. The drama unfolded with Moore and the Hawks winning game one 3-1. In game two, the NHL ruled that Moore was ineligible to play, so the Black Hawks were forced to use their minor league goaltender Paul Goodman. Toronto won the game 5-1. Mike Karakas returned with a reinforced skate, ready to play game three. The Hawks won the game 2-1. In game four, Chicago defeated Toronto 4-1 to win the best of five Stanley Cup final three games to one. The Hawks, with a line-up comprised 50 percent of American-born players, won their first Stanley Cup since 1933-34.

We bought two of these about six years ago. buy this bag. it has been flawless. we got a great buy at sierratradingpost.com. it has it all--we use them even in our RV in lieu of blankets. but it shines on the trail. tiny, warm, convenient, not confining, state of the art design and workmanship.
i sat on mine once while we had it hanging on a hook at home after a trip-YEEOUCHH--i tore it. NOT to worry--Marmot Mtn Works fixed it--i can't even remember where the tear was, they did such a great job-no cost.
we may die when we finally have to replace them--but the way it looks now, the bags will outlive us!!
Excellent bag! Very warm and light, and compresses…

Fill: 775 fill down
Temperature Rating: 15 F
Weight: 2 lbs
Price Paid: $279 reg, $195 on sale
Excellent bag! Very warm and light, and compresses very small, like any down bag, but the quality of workmanship shows up in the details. The zipper never jams thanks to the draft tube stiffener, and there is plenty of room at the top end so that I never feel claustrophobic despite the mummy design. The temperature rating is right on. Though it's rated at 15 F, it's comfy at 0 with the hood and draft collar drawn up.
It's a bit pricey at $299 ($279 for the short version), but it's worth every penny. I waited and shopped around until I found it on sale for $195. My only problem with it is having to kick my cats out of it when I want to use it at home!

Italian film director and master of comedy Mario Monicelli, 95, committed suicide Monday by throwing himself out of a hospital window, the ANSA news agency reported, citing hospital sources.
Monicelli jumped from a window in the San Giovanni hospital in Rome where he was being treated for a prostate tumor, it said.
"Death doesn't frighten me, it bothers me. It bothers me for example that someone can be there tomorrow and but me I am no longer there. What bothers me is not longer being alive, not being dead," he said in a 2007 interview with Vanity Fair.
Monicelli made his name with films such as "Amici Mei" (My Dear Friends"), considered the best of Italian-style comedies and one of his best films.
His other famous films include "Big Deal on Madonna Street" from 1958, starring Marcello Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale, and "La Granda Guerra"(The Great War") a year later.
It was this last film that won him the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival and an Oscar nomination.
Monicelli, born in 1915 in Viareggio in Tuscany, also worked in theatre and television. In all he directed some 65 films.
His popularity in Italy was in evidence Monday evening when his death was announced live on Rai television.
He was also known as a leftist and critical of what he said were the materialist, philistine values embodied by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
In 2001 he collaborated on a documentary about the G8 summit in Genoa where hundreds of anti-globalisation protesters were injured in clashes with police.
Just last June he called on students to protest against culture budget cuts proposed by Berlusconi's right-wing coalition government.
"Italy is known overseas only for its culture and it is just that that they are looking today to fight," he said, denouncing at the same time the "get-rich culture" of the times.

We live in a text-and-information-heavy sports society, so it's not surprising that every now and then a typo slips through. But some missteps are more unfortunate than others, as with the mistake on ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown" involving an assessment of Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. (Graphic via Larry Brown Sports.)
As you can see on the ticker at right, someone gave Big Ben the description of "drink and drunk." It was, in all likelihood, a misspelling of "dink and dunk," referring to Roethlisberger's quick-hit, short-pass style.
[Related: Sources say Ben Roethlisberger injured shoulder against the Chiefs]
Unfortunately, Roethlisberger also has a bit of a history with alcohol, including "excessive consumption," in the words of commissioner Roger Goodell, in an incident that led to a four-game suspension in 2010.
Later in the evening, ESPN host Chris Berman apologized for the mistake. "Earlier in the show we had a graphic error in the rundown," he said. "We apologize for the mistake. Not sure how it happened. It won't happen again."
Now, we won't speculate on whether this was a joke that ended up backfiring (probably) or a case of someone not proofreading their work (awfully coincidental). It is awfully easy to get words out in front of an entire country without a ton of editorial oversight (like this: Go William & Mary Tribe!), so we can see how this kind of mistake could be made. We're betting there will be a bit more ticker oversight from now on.

Hi, when Don's ZipFileSet stuff has been committed I complained about some things but nobody responded. As I'm not sure anybody has read that mail, I'll give you a heads up as I'm going to address the problem as I see it myself. What I intend to do: * remove <prefixedfileset> completely as it has only been part of 1.3alpha and can be dropped before we come to the first release candidate IMHO. * make <fileset> a plain FileSet for a couple of reasons: (1) backwards compatibility - there may be people invoking Zip.addFileset() directly. (2) consistency - a <fileset> should be a <fileset> no matter which task it has been nested into and related (3) make it possible to have a DTD for it - we cannot have multiple ATTLISTs for <fileset> elements depending on context. * add <zipfileset> for the new functionality. Unless I hear any objections I'm going to make these changes tomorrow. Stefan | |

Some friends of ours came to town to visit and suggested we try out The Jumpy Place. It's an indoor play area with inflatables, toys, a TV (for the adults) and a couple of play areas for different ages. We hung out ther about 4 hours. It was a good time.
I only got into trouble once.

They have got to be one of the most interesting things to look at and photograph amazingly. I mean sure they are kind of gross but... They are beautifully so. So unique to one animal in the world too, well there are others, but not the ones with the suction cups. Squids and Octopus are just so awesome to me. Inspiring soooo many designs, ideas and thoughts. I'm excited just thinking about it!

Love stoning on skirts, as long as it doesn't make the skirt too heavy. I'd say just above the hips, though the two skirt locations are pretty close (at least in my case). Since drop waist isn't an option for you, the just above the hips at least hugs the body a bit more, showing off the curves. High waisted (unless it's empress style or something similar) just looks very 1980s to me.
I have two presents for y'all today! A promised revised sketch and a video tutorials for rhinestone bracelets. Qualities not great, I was sketching in class on notebook paper and took the picture with my cell phone camera. Sorry! My green pen sadly exploded recently so I couldn't make it actually green, but the purple will have to work as a stand in. The solid purple is satin chiffon, the dotted is georgette, and the striped is organza (with crinoline in the bottom). I debating putting boning in the bodice to give it that nice shape, but the stoning also adds some stiffness so I might not. It has skirts now but my cell phone camera was being fussy and deleted the pictures before I got to transfer them. And here is your rhinestone bracelet video tutorial! http://youtu.be/l69kY-CQQEM
Fantastic tutorial, mindputtee! I've always put elastic into my bracelets, but now I'm starting to wonder why. If you use lycra, it realy doen't look like you need the added bulk. I'm also amazed at how you stone with your fingers. I would have Gem-Tac everywhere! I use a toothpick/beeswax combo I got from Rhinestoneguy that really works for me. You can make earrings and necklaces in much the same fashion by rhinstoning fleshtone fabric in a design you like, cutting around the design and painting the back with liquid latex.
Oh whoops, I forgot to mirror the picture of the sketch. The large float is on the right wrist and the small scarves are on the left side. Thanks gardinercd! I tried the wax sticks and it just wasn't working out for me. I like the added dexterity of using my fingers. I'm thinking about making a matching necklace in a similar method, once I have some more free time.
Her fabric is Chrisanne. "Georgette" is chiffon in Chrisanne-speak. Georgette is their sheer chiffon and then they have the satin chiffon if you want the shiny option.
I thought georgette was just a slightly heavier sheer fabric, similar to chiffon but with more weight to it. BTW I love love love the design!!!!!
That's right Nonie, it is really more like chiffon. What they call satin chiffon is much less transparent than normal chiffon and what they call georgette is like normal chiffon as I know it. So I finished restoring the orange and purple dress in preparation for DCDI, and my midterm ended just a half hour ago, which means tonight I get to sew!!! =D It's been a while since I've been able to have a sewing night. My goal for tonight is to get the skirts properly attached and maybe even get the crinoline attached too. Thanks Jananananana! It's gone through a lot of iterations, but I think I've finally settled on this design.
Maybe for other fabric companies??... for Chrisanne, the georgette is the regular sheer, opaque chiffon. I don't know why they do that... it confused me too the first time I bought Chrisanne fabric. But on their website, they describe their georgette as sheer chiffon. Hey, if it makes them happy....
Yeah, I had them send me samples to make sure I knew what it was I was getting before shelling out for it.
I was always confused on the difference between dance crepe, angelskin, and lycra, and for what purposes one would be better than the others, since they all seemed kind of the same to me. While I was at Blackpool, I went to their kiosk and made them talk to me about it, and then touched all the fabrics haha. For the record, I am still a little bit unsure.... LOL
I'm currently in the process of making a dress out of their angelskin, which is basically just very thin, very stretchy lycra. Their lycra is much heavier - well, "sturdier" might be a better word. The angelskin is very delicate and tough to work with, and incredibly lightweight, but also very drapey, which is what I love about it. Not sure about the dance crepe, but I'm guessing it's more "cotton-y" than the others?
I mean... I touched them all.. I know what they are... but I still am confused lol. I got that the angelskin/dance crepe less sturdy than the lycra the Chrisanne people said they recommend using dance crepe for draping details and what not... but I am still confused between angelskin and dance crepe. They felt almost the same. I guess I just cannot imagine when I would even need angelskin over dance crepe. The Chrisanne people at Blackpool were not entirely clear either. I guess it just goes down to personal choice. No need to answer that... I was just sharing my confusion. Either way, I am glad I got to touch them at Blackpool since I couldn't tell from the website and was dying from curiosity haha!
Thank you, mindputtee!! Greatly appreciated. I've never been down this path, but I've got the thread bookmarked should I do so in the future! Sketch is beautiful -- looking forward to seeing the end product! Will watch the tutorial in the future -- thanks again!
I finally got time to both take and post some pictures with skirts. Sadly the in progress pictures didn't save so I'll just have to give a text explanation of what I did. The skirts are 3 half circles per layer (there are two layers) that's just been sewn together using my wonderful serger and then hemmed with crinoline (again, using the serger.) If you are planning to do any appreciable amount of sewing I highly recommend getting a serger. They are amazing and save you so much time. In the process of fitting the skirts though I realized I had a problem: I want the skirts to sit just above my hips so that means the opening needs to be smaller than my hips, but I also am not putting a zipper in so the problem is getting the skirts over my hips so they will stay. My solution is to put in a snap closure so that it can be open while I slide the dress on and then discreetly snap shut under the bodice and be hidden out of sight. That's the next step followed by actually attaching the skirts to the bodysuit.
I prefer not to use my serger until the seams are complete, because it's much easier to rip a sewing machine seam if you made an error. If you've serged it, it's harder to rip, plus you're stuck with the exact amount of ease that's been trimmed by the blade.
I'm with Joe on that one. I use a straight seam first then my serger. (off topic) currently making superhero blankets for my 3 texas grandchildren for Christmas (watch out Jet Blue!Superhero power will be flying this holiday season). Love the serger for the blanket finishings!
Perhaps my serger is different (it's incredibly old and weighs a ton) but I find the serged seams way easier to rip out. I can just run my seam ripper down the horizontal threads and the seams pull apart, rather than my machine with a straight stitch where I had to go every few inches and rip more little threads. I used my machine with a straight stitch for the bodysuit and will use it for the bodice too, there's just a lot of room for small errors in the skirt due to the nature of the cut, not to mention they're pretty much just straight seams and pretty simple to sew. I am by no means an expert on any of this by the way, I'm just sharing my experience so I welcome the wisdom of more experienced dress makers. I've been thinking more and I think I'm going to have to break down and put in a zipper to get the right fit. ::sigh:: I didn't want to put in a zipper because I always find zippers to be prone to failure, plus it's a pain to actually sew one in.

Sense & Sensibility
11 comments:
Like all of Ausuten's books, I love this one. It's not my favorite (that would be Persuaion), but there's something so beautiful about the sister's relationship. They are so different and yet they love each other so much. My sister and I are so much like them (she would be the Marianne, while I'm little miss logical) and I think that's why this one always stood out to me.
ReplyDeleteI love Jane, but sense and sensibility is definitely not my favourite- I feel this may have something to do with having to read it for class rather than because there's anything wrong with it though.
Can I just offer a teeny suggestion? DON'T leave Mansfield Park til last in your Austen experience, because you will be disappointed, I feel (the heroine is the epitome of the word drip). I would recommend leaving Persuasion til last because it's just lovely- although it's obviously up to you of course ;)

Great Smoky Mountains National Park crews completed bridge repairs on the Chimney Tops Trail. The popular trail is now open to the public through the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
The trail has been closed since late January when high flood waters destroyed the pedestrian bridge. On January 30th, the park received more than 4 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. The 70-foot long pedestrian bridge, which spans the Walker Camp Prong at the beginning of the trail, was originally built in the late 1950s:
Crews have worked efficiently over the last several weeks to replace the 70-foot long bridge and allow safe access to the trail. Skilled crew members replaced the specially ordered 70-foot bridge beams, repaired the stone pylon structures in the river, and completed the wood deck using primarily hand-operated equipment and pulleys to construct the bridge in an environmentally sensitive area.
Here's what the new bridge looks like now, as completed:
Beginning Monday, July 8th, the Park's Trails Forever Crew will begin Phase 2 of the ongoing full trail rehabilitation on Chimney Tops Trail which necessitates closing the trail each Monday at 7:00 a.m. through Thursday at 5:30 p.m., through October 17th, while the trail continues to undergo a major facelift. The trail will be open weekly from Friday through Sunday during the rehabilitation project.
For more information about trail closures, please visit the Park's website or call the Backcountry Information Office at 865-436-1297.

The S&P 500 represents the industry standard for large-cap indices.

While the DJIA is price-weighted and only includes 30 stocks, the S&P 500 uses a weighting system that factors in market cap and the size of a company's free float while including some 500 stocks for a more comprehensive look at the broader markets' performance. Its performance is far more representative of the large- and mega-cap stocks for any period of time.

Armstrong-Quinlan House
(St. Paul Pioneer Press, September 21, 2007).
18 comments:
Kate, this is a heart-rending comment on our society, I think. Here a lovely building was saved, only to be put into a tenous situation once again. Here in Portland, in the news this week was a story about a new condo building in the Pearl District (an industrial area that's undergone extreme conversion to condos and lofts and shops, bars and restaurants--what you'd call tony, as in expensive). The building's condos could not attract enough buyers, so it's being converted to apartments. I'm thinking that can't be a bag thing.
About me, I was born in Jackson, Miss., in 1947. By the time I was three, my Daddy's job took us out in the United States. By the time he left that job seven and a half years later, we'd lived in 26 states. Once we lived for a few months in Laverne, Minnesota. Daddy built cooling towers which didn't take but maybe three months or so. We returned to Jackson in 1957; in between then and now, other than Jackson, I've lived in Kansas City (Missouri and Kansas) and Houston, Texas.Glad to see you're feeling well enough to blog!
I think we've driven past this house: is it right next to a rather busy street and kind of out by itself? IMHO, $500k to 850k for such an apartment in there when the same amount of money (or nearly) can buy a mansion/similar near one of the lakes in MP or in the Summit/Crocus Hill areas in SP (which would include the land) seems destined for trouble, and the current housing market "crisis" doesn't help the situation any. FYI, I found a SP realtor's take on it, with some more details, including about the move here.Hi Kate,

When Jim Henson's menagerie of talking animals and fish-throwing vaudevillians made their big-screen comeback in 2011's "The Muppets," Kermit the Frog and company faced down a greedy oil tycoon named Tex Richman to save their old theater from demolition.
In their newest cinematic adventure, "Muppets Most Wanted," set for release from Disney on March 21, a more dangerous foe lies in wait for the performers — a criminal mastermind named Constantine who happens to bear a striking resemblance to the troupe's genial impresario.
"He's a Kermit doppelganger," said producer Todd Lieberman.

A lively mix of sight gags, puns, celebrity cameos and gleeful fourth-wall breaking helped the Muppets become comedy legends, and "Most Wanted" preserves that formula, this time grafting a case of mistaken identity onto crime caper convention.
Aside from a vaguely Eastern European accent and a black facial mole, the villainous Constantine is virtually indistinguishable from Kermit, which means that once he breaks out of a Russian prison and switches places with the good-natured frog, the troupe finds itself with the wrong amphibian in charge.
Together with his partner Dominic Badguy — that's pronounced "Bad G," it's French — Constantine begins pulling heists as the group travels around the world, drawing the attention of Ty Burrell's Interpol agent. (Patriotic Sam the Eagle joins the pursuit too.)

In addition to the "Modern Family" star, the film features Ricky Gervais as Badguy and Tina Fey as a Siberian warden who falls for her frog captive even as he struggles to prove his true identity.
A host of other actors — including Salma Hayek and "Avengers" star Tom Hiddleston — turn up in smaller roles.
"The Muppets are so beloved, especially by comedians, it doesn't usually take a lot of convincing," Lieberman said.
"Most Wanted" arrives as a follow-up to "The Muppets," which returned the foam and felt superstars to theaters for the first time in more than a decade. Written by Nicholas Stoller and star Jason Segel and directed by James Bobin, that film grossed $88 million at the box office and won an Oscar for Bret McKenzie, the "Flight of the Conchords" comedian who penned songs for the musical.

Bobin and Stoller wrote the script for the sequel with an eye toward maintaining Muppet tradition while simultaneously expanding the scope of the story.
"The first movie was really about introducing the Muppets to an age group who weren't really as familiar with them," said Lieberman, who produced "Muppets" and the new film with partner David Hoberman. "Now that we've set that groundwork, we can go off and have an enormous amount of fun."
