The sun gets a pretty bad rap these days. Not only is it partially responsible for global warming, but it's blamed for various skin conditions and afflictions.

The hotshot newspaper reporter Wallace Cook (Fredric March) tries to get in the good graces of his boss, Oliver Stone (Walter Connolly) by exploiting the "imminent" death of an ailing young woman, Hazel Flagg (Carole Lombard).
By way of newsprint the doomed young lady becomes the toast of New York City until her health situation is revealed as a hoax.
IMHO one of the best comedies that went into Public Domain.
The funny story telling by William A. Wellman and the great cast makes this one an highly enjoyable A Class Movie.
If you watch the movie carefully you`ll notice that William Wellman tries to took the already pretty face of Carole Lombard and place it into an high contrast frame which makes her face and mimic even more enjoyable to watch
like in this take for example
or when she`s wearing the Uniform of the NYC Firebrigade
Nice idea and Chapo Mr. Wellman
This movie is part of the collection: Feature Films
Director: William A. Wellman

Carole Lombard in Color
I greatly enjoyed seeing this movie if only to watch Carole Lombard in color.
By today's standard the film is dated but considering it's over 75 years old, it holds up well for a romantic comedy.
Lombard has good comedic timing and is a beauty to behold. There are some outtakes at the archive.org site and you can see why Clark Gable deeply loved her. There are some excellent high contrast scenes of her portrait that is worth viewing for that alone. Maybe I have an infatuation with Lombard, if so it's a good one that I'm happy to have.
The lead male doesn't really equal Lombard in skills or talent.
The supporting cast ia adequate but nothing special.
Production values were decent.
Overall the film needs a good restoration as the Technicolor is showing its limits on the version I watched.

this movie was so bad,but I did like the actors.I give it 3 stars.

"I have seen this before in B&W. I assume this is a colorized version?"
Wikipedia says it was filmed in technicolor, the less-than-amazing colour probably comes from the transfer noted by the uploader. Still, awesome film.

Great movie
I have seen this before in B&W. I assume this is a colorized version? I'll watch it again anyway. This is a pre-Code film, and an example of what Hollywoood could do when not restrained by prudes. Really funny.

Great comedy!
This film is a great little romantic comedy from the more 'innocent' age of film. Peppered throughout the film are several naughty bits, though rather tame by today's standards. Look for the Dutch girl giving us the finger.
Nicely shot, some nice biting comic remarks and well-acted for the genre. I know I've missed many things, I need to watch this one a couple more times.

VHS Transfer
This was an VHS Transfer (from an 20 yrear old tape) the original had alot of color shifting and fading into blue .. so that was the best i could do .. sorry

Great movie, so-so upload
Is there any way to upload a higher resolution copy? Even on the computer screen this is foggy-looking. But at least it has colour - my old print is faded to sepia. Sad what happens to public domain movies.
Aside from that - this is one of the great comic classics, never get tired of it.

Look lets face it. Residential work is the minor leagues. Class A minor league. Any yahoo can do residential work out of the trunk of his car. I've seen it.
Now commercial work is triple-A.
Chillers is major league.
Don't like it? Work hard, learn more, and move up the ranks. I did.
I guess arrogance is a requirement to work on chillers EH?
Most of the chiller BIG LEAGUE guys I have worked with are pompous sob's.
It is also good to keep in mind that everyone does not have the same opportunities as others, we still live in a very predudiced and materialistic society.
I have nothing but respect for anybody that has worked hard for what they have but it really doesen't matter what you work on as long as you are happy doing what you do and make a living out of it.Certified parts changer.
Not a requirement but it helps I disagree with him though. I know a lot of resi guys that are damn good and could grab a chiller by the horns if the oppertunity arose. Likewise most "chiller" techs couldn't walk up to a new variable speed condensing furnace being used as aux heat for a variable speed heat pump on a 2000 sqft home. At least not without a manual and a few hrs to read through it. That's me at least. Not to proud to say so either. I have "come up through the ranks" and spend most of my time on industrial systems now and I'm pretty good at it but the resi side has left me behind. The systems today are way more complex then the systems I cut my teeth on and I would be lost for a time if I had to go back to it.
I know chiller guys who couldn't service a resi heat pump if their life depended on it. I was just at Johnson Controls in OK taking a commercial commissioning class with a bunch of 'chiller guys'. The guys had to take some of their tests three times before they could manage a passing grade. Major league my ass. Saying that you're a major league tech just because you work on chillers is giving yourself way too much credit. But i guess when no one is willing to give you any, you have to make yourself feel good somehow....
It really comes down to where you want to specialize in, or even if you want to work union or non union. I worked in a shop in Wilmington CA. that was non union that worked on everything from screw compressors to minisplits. Nowadays most companies don't want to spend money on special trianing unless they are connected to the manufacturer. I choose my destiny but I don't look down on others because of what they work on or where they work, that would be very narrow minded. Some people have special skills in chillers and some with residential units, I'll tell you though that one will never stop learning in this trade and if one does it's all over.
Certified parts changer.
On the other hand, I know chiller guys who could teach a class in residential heat pump service.
My my point is to ask," why are you in the particular section of the market where you're working now?"
Are you there to diagnose and repair, or are you there for a sales opportunity?
Since I'm not texting my response from my dumb phone, I'll extend my remarks.
I'm sure that there are many great, skilled, and ethical residential guys working in the trade. Many of them are Pro members here.
That said, the business model does not reward technical expertise in residential, because the rewards are commission based, and there is no incentive to diagnose and repair when your Co can have two guys show up the next day to install a brand new system. There is a big Co advertising on the Philly stations who talks about how many trucks he has, and how fast he can install a new system in cold weather.
Not a word about how fast a broken system can be repaired. That is not his mindset.
If you want young guys who are smart to enter this trade, then you have to figure out how to reward those smarts, otherwise, the trade will become populated with BS'ers. More so than it already is today.[Avatar photo from a Florida training accident. Everyone walked away.]

Not to be a dink, but if commercial guys and chiller guys are so great, why do i see some o them on this forum asking us lowly resi guys how their bryant evolution furnace operates, instead of reading the manual, or product data. With the new technology out for controls for modulating funaces and condensing boilers, there is plenty to learn in resi.

Agreed, a good tech is a good tech period just because youre a chillerman, doesnt mean you know everything about everything. I do mainly resi and light commercial, because thats all thats available in our area. We dont have chillers within two hours of this area. I dont know where these chiller guys get their confidence from.

Our company does not pay any commision to the techs or anyone else for that matter. I am strictly an open guy with no schedule except whatever emergency no heats come in that day.all the other techs are booked with clean and checks. All i do is diagnose and repair units, because our installers cant put a furnace in a house in a timely manner, so i have to repair the unit so it canwork until they have time to install the new unit the next month. We dont have any sales people, i a customer asks about new systems, a tech will give you prices andexplain he fundamentals of he new system. There must really be a trend in big companies hiring what i call sales techs. We have a small company of twenty people, andare very busy all year long.
Easy fellas. One chiller guy made a derogatory comment not all of us. Take your hurt feelings out on him. You start talking smack about chiller guys in general, the way he did resi guys, you will call down the thunder.

AP If you have a Detroit Lions fan in your life, and hes someone you like and respect, you will certainly not want to buy him this Lions-themed 2013 calendar for Christmas. But if you have a Lions fan in your life and you really want to get under his skin, then its the perfect gift.
In a stunning display of holiday awfulness, the official NFL-licensed Lions calendar that is being pushed as a holiday gift somehow managed to get everything wrong. JustinRogers of MLive.com details some of the problems with this calendar, including:
1. Titus Young is on the cover. Yes, Young, the second-year receiver who was just ordered to go home and not come back for repeated insubordination, is the person the makers of this calendar thought Lions fans would want on the cover. Not Matthew Stafford or Calvin Johnson. Titus Young. Really.
2. Open the calendar to the first month, and whose picture do you see to go along with January? Aaron Berry. The cornerback who was arrested twice during the offseason and cut by the Lions in July.
3. Other months have pictures of receiver Nate Burleson (who broke his leg and may be cut in the offseason), defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch (whos 34 years old and not playing up to his contract and looks like a potential cap casualty), and running back Jahvid Best (whose repeated concussions call into question whether hell ever play again). Those are definitely the guys Lions fans are going to want to be thinking about in 2013.
4. The company selling the calendar boasts that it contains information about the Lions Super Bowl History and more. One problem: The Lions have never been to the Super Bowl. Apparently the Super Bowl history section will be devoted to the Super Bowls the Lions didnt play in (all of them) or maybe the Super Bowls that were played on the Lions home field. (Did you know that Jerome Bettis is from Detroit? The people who made this calendar probably didnt.)
5. The calendar includes the 2012 schedule. Very helpful in 2013.
So if you do have a Lions fan on your Christmas shopping list, youll probably want to skip the teams official 2013 calendar. Much better to get him a T-shirt commemorating the Lions undefeated 2008 preseason

About Labiaplasty Surgery.org
Dr. Usha Rajagopal and the creator of Labiaplasty Surgery.org, wanted to provide an unbiased resource for women who, like herself, had a strong desire to get labiaplasty surgery performed regardless of all the controversy and heresay about labiaplasty.
Many sites and surgeons recommend that a person should just "get higher self-esteem" and not consider the procedure, but they don't understand the anguish, embarassment or obstacles encountered when a person has an oversized labia. Labiaplasty surgery can be the right decision as long as you choose the right plastic surgeon. Throughout interviews with both patients and doctors, Dr. Rajagopal discovered that the number one factor is making sure you are in the right hands.
Use this site as a tool to ask questions and decide if labiaplasty surgery is the right decision for you. Information included on this site comes from interviews with board certified plastic surgeons, newspapers, magazines, medical journals, and personal experiences. If you know of any articles or resources that aren't included, feel free to contact us at: email@example.com.
So why is Dr. Usha Rajagopal the plastic surgeon to ask questions about labiaplasty? In part because she has performed over 1000 labiaplasty surgeries and:
1. Meets all of the requirements specified in "How to Choose a Plastic Surgeon"
2. Has over 17 years experience performing labiaplasty surgery, and has performed over 1000 surgeries.
How is Labiaplasty Surgery. org different from other web portals?
Unlike many other web portals, labiaplasty surgery.org does not charge plastic surgeons to advertise on this site. Many portals guise as informational resources, when actually they are charging plastic surgeons thousands of dollars a year to place ads on their site.
This site was started because Dr. Rajagopal understands what it means to be a woman seeking out labiaplasty surgery. There is no advertising and no fees charged to maintain the site. For this reason, the site depends on you, the users to submit your stories, post in the forums, and participate in polls to keep this site an up-to-date informational resource.
Any comments, questions or suggestions? Feel free to contact me: email@example.com
1. Labiaplasty: before and after photos
2. Labiaplasty Procedure: what to expect
3. How to choose a plastic surgeon
3. Labiaplasty costs and financing
5. Labiaplasty, Vaginaplasty, and hoodecta-
whata? What's the difference?
6. Patient's Journal: Read about labiaplasty

7. Female Anatomy: Unsure about where
or what your labia is?

"In reality, there are only around 4-6 million people on this planet who consider themselves LDS."
My suggestion was to test it by making a simple extrapolation based on one of the most recent U.S. religious self-identification surveys. My simple extrapolation yielded 5 – 6 million self-identified Mormons in the U.S. alone. In response, "someone" characterized my math skills as "phony" and "bogus"; while the survey I chose (the 2007 Pew U.S. Religious Landscape Survey) was dismissed as flawed due to "oversampling." A link to a Joanna Brooks' article (below) was provided to prove the "oversampling" charge.
First Point:
The idea of extrapolating estimated numbers from Pew and other well respected religious self-identification surveys is exactly what researchers, journalists and organizations like the U.S. Census Bureau do. For instance the U.S. census used ARIS data to make this 2008 estimate for adult populations only:
And Joanna Brooks used ARIS data to do the same thing here:
And then there is this 2004 extrapolation across all age groups (children, teens and adults) which utilized one self-identification survey (ARIS) for adults and another (the UNC National Study of Youth and Religion) for teens and children:
"Some groups (e.g., Episcopal, Congregational, Judaism) have fewer children proportionate to their total population, and some groups (e.g., Catholic, Pentecostal, Latter-day Saints) have higher proportionate numbers of children, in which case the un-modified extrapolation to the total population would yield an undercount. For example, in 2004, 2.5% of American teenagers said they were Latter-day Saints (National Study of Youth and Religion, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; sample size: 3,370 nationwide), a figure higher than the 1.3% of American adults who identified themselves as Latter-day Saints in 2001. If this 2.5% figure were extrapolated to the total population, it would yield a figure of 7,334,574 total Latter-day Saints (children, teens and adults) in the U.S. for 2004 - a number nearly 2 million higher than counted in official membership records. This difference in survey results between adult and teen populations indicates that this group's U.S. membership skews young. Similar differences (pushing a group's actual numbers higher than extrapolated if it skews young and lower than extrapolated if it skews old) would be expected for all groups." (http://www.lb9.uscou...r_relGroups.pdf)
Second Point:
I e-mailed Erin O'Connell, Associate Director for Communications at the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion and Public Life. I asked if they were aware of the Joanna Brooks criticism. (Note: The "oversampling" criticism actually originated with ARIS researchers Richard D. Phillips and Ryan T. Cragun.) Erin replied almost immediately and indicated that they were in fact aware of the Phillips/Cragun criticism and believed it to be "unwarranted." Erin suggested a short telephone conversation with a Pew researcher who could explain in more detail. I called the researcher and enjoyed a very interesting and enlightening 30-minute conversation. Following are some of his more relevant observations:
The Phillips/Cragun "oversampling" criticism (http://www.mormonsocialscience.org/) was actually directed at the 2011 Pew Religious Devotion survey titled "Mormons in America" which can be found here: (http://www.Pewforum....ve-summary.aspx). The criticism was not directed at the 2007 U.S. Religious Landscape survey (which was my source), which is found here: http://religions.Pewforum.org/. "Mormons in America" focused on measures of "religious devotion" and was specific to Mormons; while "Landscape" focused on "self-identification" and was specific to the entire U.S. population. Apparently, "someone" conflated the two.
Phillips & Cragun have yet to express their criticism of "Mormons in America" in any academic journal or appropriate forum; therefore, while Pew is aware of the criticism, it has been unable to respond officially; nevertheless, the researcher was more than happy and quite prepared to tell me over the phone why he is convinced the criticism is "unwarranted" and also "puzzling."
For "Mormons in America", the researcher explained that Pew did in fact utilize an "oversample" technique in certain Utah counties with higher-than-average Mormon populations; however, the data from these counties was also correspondingly "weighted" to discount for the oversampling. This is in complete accord with long-established statistical techniques utilized within the Social Sciences. The researcher also pointed out that results from "Mormons in America" (where "over-sampling" was utilized) were virtually identical to results from prior "Religious Devotion" surveys Pew has done where the oversampling/weighting technique was not employed.
With regard to the 2007 "Landscape" survey (which was the basis of my extrapolation), the researcher made clear that absolutely no "oversampling" technique had been employed. He also pointed out that Pew (as well as other surveying organizations) regularly asks about religious preferences for the demographic portion of nearly every survey—even when the purpose of the survey is not about religion. This data is "tracked" and accumulated annually: the percentage of U.S. adults self-identifying as "Mormon" has been tracking at 1.6% to 1.7% for the past few years; but, the figure tracked at 1.9% throughout all of 2011; and it has been tracking at 1.6% so far in 2012. In fact, the tracking percentages are not all that different—usually within the margins of error—from one reputable survey to the next. Pew's adult Mormon percentage tracked at 1.6% in 2007; ARIS tracked it at 1.4%; while both Pew and Gallup tracked it at 1.9% in 2011.
Finally, the Pew researcher thought it important to point out that the ARIS approach is not above criticism. For example, ARIS reports a large percentage of U.S. adults who simply identify themselves as "Christian." Since ARIS does not utilize a "secondary" line of questions (like Pew and Gallup do), this percentage is significantly inflated. A large number of respondents who initially identify themselves as "Christian" will subsequently identify themselves more specifically—as "Baptist" or "Mormon" for instance—if they are given the choice.
Please feel free to draw your own conclusions--I certainly have.

My cranky celebration of life in Alexandria (Virginia)'s historic Parker-Gray District.
Tuesday, May 31, 2011
The $40 Million Windfall
Nearly a year ago, Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) proposed a public-private partnership to pay for a new Jefferson-Houston building financed by megadevelopment on the existing site. That was roundly decried by the neighborhood, and the School Board was forced to pull back and consider other options.
During the FY 2012 budget discussions earlier this year, the City Council and Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) came to the negotiating table over the school district's ginormous capital requests. The result of the back room negotiations was that money was allocated in the multi-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget to fund new school buildings at Jefferson-Houston and Patrick Henry Elementary Schools.
Now, the Growler continues to think that it is most curious that ACPS claims that enrollment pressures and capacity are the drivers behind the huge CIP request while simultaneously pushing a new school for Jefferson-Houston. Until Jefferson-Houston meets federal standards under No Child Left Behind parents will still have the option to send their children elsewhere. A recent presentation from ACPS to the Council (fast forward to slide 20) reveals that the two elementary schools with the greatest capacity are those with the greatest academic challenges: Jefferson-Houston and Cora Kelly.
According to an E-mail from ACPS Superintendent Morton Sherman, "The meeting on June 1 is to discuss process and timetable for developing proposals for a new school." However, residents need to know that earlier this year ACPS proposed aggressively pushing through the site plan and approval processes by the end of the year in order to start and complete the school by the fall of 2014 (FY 2015). The Planning & Zoning Department even gave Council an accelerated review process schedule.
If this schedule is still intact, it appears that whatever community outreach will be done in connection with the new school will take place in a very brief period over the summer.
Besides schedule, another question which remains open is whether ACPS still proposes moving several hundred staff from their administrative offices on N. Beauregard Street to the Jefferson-Houston site, which would require a larger facility in our neighborhood with underground parking.

I wasn't able to make last night's meeting but the presentation is posted here: http://www.acps.k12.va.us/board/jh-project/presentation-20110601.pdf
I gather from it that the new school will not include space for the central office facilities now on Beauregard Street. - Thu Jun 02, 08:04:00 AM GMT-5
Typical Alexandria B.S. if they can't shove it through the citizens they sneak it through the back door. Designs can change once the building begins and if office facilities are the desired end at JH they will appear at a later time. Living in Alexandria requires constant vigilance because government does what it wants and has a selective memory.

Slide 16 shows the "project area" to correspond to the park between the school and Jefferson village. So, is that where they are building the new school and we lost the park space? - Thu Jun 02, 04:36:00 PM GMT-5
"So, is that where they are building the new school and we lost the park space?"
I was not at the meeting but, based on the earlier presentations, the whole space is in play. However, the November 22, 2010 presentation (at this link: http://www.acps.k12.va.us/board/jh-project/presentation-20101122.pdf) illustrates various ways the building and open spaces could be rearranged. Most of that focused on building a multistory school with a smaller footprint on the ground than the existing building, thereby making it possible to have a full sized sports field rather than the slightly smaller-than-normal one that there now. The old slides also show the possibility of the field being moved from the north to the eastern sides of the space. What they actually plan to do remains to be seen. - Fri Jun 03, 09:13:00 AM GMT-5
I just received the City Council docket for June 14th. Numbers 32, 33, and 34 on the docket appear to involve affordable housing groups and ARHA. But I don't know what they mean. Looks like a loan forgiveness request and/or giving more money to AHDC or ARHA. Usually, things involving ARHA and affordable housing screw us. Can anyone explain if we need to be concerned about this? Thanks.
- Wed Jun 08, 03:50:00 PM GMT-5
Speaking of our neighborhood getting screwed, ARHA was awarded $ to purchase Pendleton Park. See article below.
http://www.alexandrianews.org/2011/06/vhda-approves-8-4-million-for-arha-to-purchase-pendleton-park-move-forward-with-next-phase-of-bland-development/ - Thu Jun 09, 06:54:00 AM GMT-5
"Why is your glass always half empty? A deal is not a deal until the papers are signed. Without tax credits, which people are protesting downstate, can ARHA finance it?"
Thu Apr 14, 04:37:00 PM EST
"ARHA was awarded $ to purchase Pendleton Park."
It's not so much my glass being half empty, it's recognizing that our glass has a hole in that bottom that represents the power that ARHA wields in this city and dealing with that realistically. - Thu Jun 09, 09:00:00 AM GMT-5
The city is investing $40 million to build a new school at Jefferson Houston. That school's primary problem is the high percentage of disadvantaged students who find themselves concentrated in a single school because the city dumps most of its public public housing here. Now the city is compounding the fundamental problem by supporting ARHA's efforts to add more public housing in the same area. Unbelievable.

"Just one week after Jefferson-Houston Principal Kimberley Graves detailed her vision for a new Jefferson-Houston school facility at a community meeting, she announced that she is leaving the school at the end of the year to accept a position in Central Office."

Rats leaving the sinking ship. - Sun Jun 12, 11:43:00 AM GMT-5
Dear "Rats leaving the sinking ship":
If you knew the real reason why Ms. Graves was leaving, you would be ashamed for writing that.
At least, I hope so for the sake of your soul. - Tue Jun 14, 12:19:00 PM GMT-5
"Rats leaving the sinking ship."
With this assessment I disagree. Mrs Graves was a good Principal for JH, even if my observations are from a distance. She pushed through the curriculum changes and the new building in the face of neighborhood opposition. (Lets face it, it was opposition from a lot of people (myself included), who don't send our kids to JH.)
Even though I only saw her about once a year, she always remembered my name. On many Saturdays I saw her car in the lot. She was clearly not afraid of a challenge and her first priority was her students. The Principal has to play the hand she is dealt. If you don't like the hand that she was dealt, then the School Board and the Superintendent may be the better target for complaints. I wish her the best. - Tue Jun 14, 07:55:00 PM GMT-5
If you knew the real reason why Ms. Graves was leaving, you would be ashamed for writing that.
What IS the real reason for her leaving?
I kind of always feel sorry for the employees at J-H. It's not their fault that the school is underperforming. It's the City Council's. They keep funding concentrated public housing. The school board just isolated the problem further in 1999. - Wed Jun 15, 04:48:00 AM GMT-5
According to this article, the City Council continues to hemorrhage money for affordable housing.
I am VERY upset over ARHA's purchase of Pendleton Park, particularly since the Council only just hemorrhaged my tax money ($6 million!) to offsite ARHA units from Bland, and now they are allowing them to be put right back in to the neighborhood via Pendleton Park.
Now they are throwing away an additional $600k???? When will they learn that this kind of spending on housing is totally unsustainable and a huge waste of our scarce tax dollars. - Wed Jun 15, 11:21:00 AM GMT-5

Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson announced Tuesday that he will meet with the NBA's Board of Governors soon to make a direct pitch for an opportunity to assemble Sacramento-area buyers for the Kings, stopping the team's potential move to Seattle.
Johnson said he is optimistic that Sacramento can prevail in the fight, reminding a crowd of business owners gathered at the Sacramento Convention Center on Tuesday that the city was successful two years ago in its effort to keep the Kings from moving to Anaheim.
That effort too, had come with pleas to the NBA for help.
"We've been here before," Johnson said, with former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in attendance at the 15th annual State of Downtown Breakfast.
Johnson also reminded the crowd that the Bay Area nearly lost the San Francisco Giants to Tampa Bay in the 1990s.
"Because the community fought, they were able to keep their team," Johnson said about the Giants.
The mayor said NBA Commissioner David Stern has given him permission to address the NBA's Board of Governors to propose a counter offer to the reported $525 million deal brewing in Seattle by a group led by investor Chris Hansen.
Johnson said the city is in a "six-week sprint," referring to a March 1 deadline for teams to file a relocation request with the NBA.
Johnson also outlined the criteria he desires for a new ownership group -- including that at least some of the investors be based in Sacramento, and including the possibility of participation by the current owners, the Maloof family.
The Maloofs nearly left for Anaheim before putting together a deal with the NBA and Sacramento to build a railyard arena. That deal eventually collapsed.

It's not too late: Free panel in Portsmouth on boomer retirement planning
Thursday, October 11, 2012
PORTSMOUTH — The vast array of retirement options for baby boomers seems to be growing as fast as the aging population itself. There is every indication that people will be living longer and having more choices than ever before, yet it's easy for busy parents to avoid or put off planning for the future. |

Local actors from 'Oz' eager to see themselves in Disney film
Jennifer Sills was transformed head to toe as an Emerald City resident while working on "Oz, the Great and Powerful," which premieres for a select few in Royal Oak tonight (Tues).
"The undergarments consisted of structured corsets and I had to wear a full petticoat under my dress," said Sills, 26, of Bloomfield Hills.
"My hair was braided each morning and hairpieces were intricately placed by stylists. During filming, continuity of appearance was essential so — as a team — the makeup artists and hairstylists did their best to keep each look consistent."
Hundreds of people who worked on the movie are anxious this week to see the completed film as it premieres in theaters nationally Friday.
The Disney film tells the origins of the Wizard of Oz, the character from L. Frank Baum's book. The film stars James Franco as Oscar Diggs, a magician who finds himself in the Land of Oz. He there meets three witches played by Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams. Diggs must figure out how to help the people of Oz and combat evil at the same time.
Bryan and Laurie Valko of Lake Orion — who were Emerald City residents — worked as the only married couple on the film.
"One of the more memorable days was a late evening during our meal break when an impromptu talent show broke out," said Bryan. "It started with a few of the Winkies — the near 7-foot tall soldiers — started singing while using an A1 (steak sauce) bottle as a microphone, challenging others to step up and sing.
"This is a very talented group and before you knew it many of the extras were taking turns belting out tunes. The activity got the attention of the crew and principle actors, and eventually Mila, Rachel and Michelle stopped by and listened in."
Several actors including Ron Causey, who played a tinker, are attending the premiere at the Royal Oak Emagine theater.
"I'm like a kid at Christmas time," said Causey of seeing the film tonight. Continued...
Causey, 45, a veteran of more than 40 films, worked side by side with Bill Cobbs, another tinker and an actor from TV's "The Cosby Show."
Causey played a henchman in the 2011 film, "Real Steel."
"I had my head shaved so I submitted that photo when they were casting for 'Oz,'" said the Allen Park resident.
"The director, Sam Raimi, hand-picked people he hired, including me. We were all blown away being on the set.
"You were transported to this different world. I've done all these movies but nothing compares to 'Oz.' It was fantastic."
Christy Edwards of Farmington Hills plays a "quadling," one of the Glinda's happy farmers.
"Walking through the iconic poppy field was surreal!" she exclaimed.
"Each poppy was 'planted' by a props person with a special gun. There were something like 9,000 poppies planted. Another memory I have is standing in the center of the yellow brick road with Franco, Kunis and Williams with explosions going off and fire all around."
Edwards said Franco is an avid reader and was constantly reading books on set.
"He would be reading almost until Sam Raimi yelled action," she said. "The camera would be rolling and we'd all be in place and the sound was speeding. Then he'd set his book down behind something on set and jump right into character. It was very impressive!" Continued...
Derek Kelly of Shelby Township — who worked as James Franco's stunt double — had long hair when began his work on the film.
"They had to do some cuts," said the 26-year-old, referring to his hair.
Eventually the stylists got his hair to a point where Kelly's looked like Franco's. Kelly will also be at the Royal Oak premiere.
In the film, people won't see his face, but he's there, doing the stunt work.
"I can't describe what it was like," he said. "I've been a big fan of the 'Wizard of Oz' since I was a kid. When I walked onto the set, with Glinda's castle and 200 extras, I felt like Dorothy walking into Oz for the first time."
Jennifer Sills, who spent two weeks on the film, said days were long on the set. "Raimi had a commanding aura and came to work in a suit each day to commemorate the tradition of his idol, Alfred Hitchcock, who also wore a suit on set," she said. "Raimi addressed the crew of extras as his 'actors' which speaks volume since he paid his respect to us."
Mark Kerr of White Lake also played an Emerald City resident.
A worship pastor with Waterford-based Faith Church, Kerr, 55, was on set about 12 hours a day for the eight days he worked. He plans to see the movie Friday with his wife.
"Overall, it was a good experience and I'd do it again," he said.

EDIT: This is starting to sound like another Perry McCarthy Memorial Forum championship possibility, with people entering only drivers who are related to F1 champions/rejects/etc.
That's given me another idea of another alternative championship - ban everyone who's had other relations in F1 (but not motorsport in general as that would be way too difficult to do). Which means the mid 90s will be especially good with no Schumacher, Hill or Villeneuve, and the late 80s with no Piquet or Senna.
And no Hill or Stewart in the '60s or '70s!

Auchentoshan Valinch
A 'valinch' is the cellar master's best friend. It's the tube that goes into the cask to pull out samples for him to taste and determine if the whisky is ready for bottling. The perfect name for this cask-strength version of Auchentoshan's Classic expression. Auchentoshan is the only triple-distilled malt in all of Scotland, making it smooth, smooth, smooth. Valinch gives a kick though, because it's cask strength.

Product InformationThis fine art print has been embellished with gold foil. About the ArtistItalian artist Roberto Fantini paints cave paintings for the 21st century. His fascination with art began in childhood and by age 14, he was exhibiting art alongside his father Maurizio Fantini, one of the 100 Painters of Via Margutta. In his original works, Fantini begins with canvas instead of stone walls as well as interesting materials such as marble powder, concrete, oil colors, and gold and silver resulting in rich, lushly textured works of art. Living and traveling throughout Europe and Asia, his paintings conjure the colors and atmospheres of the places he's visited. © AllPosters
