We've criticized the ARRL website here on KB6NU.Com from time to time, but there's a lot of good stuff there, too. In particular, they regularly post timely news items. Here are three items I found particularly interesting:
- FCC denies Anchorage VEC's waiver request. In July 2011, the Anchorage VEC asked the FCC to permit individuals who have previously held an Amateur Radio license grant issued by the Commission — but which has expired and is beyond the two year grace period for renewal — to receive credit for elements previously passed, and thus a new license grant, without additional examination.
I'm not altogether sure why this VEC would request this waiver. In fact, I've suggested that maybe it would be a good idea to regularly re-test ham radio operators.
- Minutes of ARRL Board's winter meeting posted. The ARRL board held their annual winter meeting the weekend of January 13-14, 2012. The minutes from that meeting have now been posted. These are always interesting and worth perusing.
One item of interest is that the board has approved electronic voting for division elections. I wonder how that would have affected, if at all, the two elections that I participated in.
- LOTW to support CQ awards. The ARRL and CQ magazine have agreed that QSLs recorded in Logbook of the World can now be used to apply for CQ-sponsored operating awards. These are the first non-ARRL awards to be supported by LoTW. The first CQ award that you will be able to apply for via LOTW is the WPX award.

All-suite retreat in Ibiza's enchanting pine forest
the quiet, green surroundings, only few minutes far from Santa Eulalia.
Set against the royal blue backdrop of cloudless skies,
S'Argamassa Palace Suite Hotel, Ibiza, is the ideal destination for
exploring this stunning island. Only a few minutes from the
bustling city of Santa Eulalia (and great shops), pine trees
surround this oasis of calm with just 24 blissfully luxurious
suites, each one naturally lit and with their own terrace or
balcony. Go for a stroll after your buffet breakfast, enjoyed as
you bask in the warming sun, then head to Cala Pada beach located
just moments away. But for some adventure further afield just ask
the staff who are always full of useful suggestions. Personal
service that's all about attention to detail is their forte.
Recently, the hotel underwent an extensive renovation with nothing
but comfort and relaxation in mind. And the new addition of Nikki
Beach Club is its exclusive adults-only facility offering pure
white sunbeds and exotic cocktails on tap while the children are
occupied with their own separate pool and entertainer with
boundless energy. Come mealtimes, the à la carte restaurant whips
up a medley of mouth-watering Mediterranean dishes whose mini
ensaimadas are unmissable.

Beyonce On Life With Jay-Z: 'I'm Messy!'
On stage, it's hard to imagine Beyonce Knowles not living up to her fashion-savvy alter-ego, Sasha Fierce – but in a new interview in the April issue of Ebony, the star admits that the story's a little different when she's at home with husband Jay-Z.
"I'm a little messy," she told the mag. "Oh, yeah. Whenever I'm out in public, I have to be put together. When I get home, I rebel against it and I don't want to take care of anything. I drop it."
The busy singer, who dropped the double-disc album "I Am… Sasha Fierce" last year and starred as Etta James in "Cadillac Records," told the magazine she uses her time at home to take it easy.
"I'm relaxed. I don't have any shoes on. No makeup," she said. "My shoes are left at the door. My purse is in the kitchen."
But, Beyonce said, she might be a little too relaxed for Jay-Z.
"I think that is the most difficult thing for him," she said. "He's very, very organized."

This was the simplest light meal accompaniment I have ever made - easy chopping, whole grains, good for you, too! My vegetarian cronie loved it - I sent her home with the entire container and she savored it for over a week. A+

This 7-10 piece group has an explosive backbeat, soulful renditions, and powerful horn section!
The chemistry that evolved out of a casual jam session almost a decade ago, has opened the doors for Soul City to become a dynamic force in the Boston Music scene. Soul C's rhythm section, made up of four award winning musicians including band founder Jim Pullano, anchors the band's funky beat. The show becomes an event when the high energy performance of the two dynamic lead vocalists gets the audience singing and dancing right out of their seats.
Platinums philosophy is that you relax and enjoy yourself, and let them give you the best party you have ever had. They will personalize the music according to your individual needs and taste so that no two events are ever the same. The size of the band ranges from 7 pieces and up, depending on the size of the venue and the occasion. Harry and Lisa are backed by an exciting and versatile group of musicians who can play everything from 1920 to the present.
JB AND THE BAND is the ultimate party band and the perfect choice for anyone who loves to dance, feel good, and have a great time! Featuring a supreme blend of incredible world class musicians and vocalists, they perform an amazing repertoire of great music in all genres, and will customize playlists for ceremonies, cocktail hours and your main event music based on your personal favorites and musical preferences.
Living way up north of almost every border in the Western Hemisphere hasn't inoculated Vermonters against Latin music-it's that seductive. From sizzling salsa and merengue to smooth cha-chas, Grupo Sabor is known for shaking the Yankee foundations of clubs all over Vermont and New York State. Sabor's music is also finding a niche in the Dominican Republic where their originals "El Hombre Enamorao" and "Cuando te Espero" are heard on TV and radio stations.
RSVP plays a wide variety of music to accommodate almost any kind of venue or event, from a small private in-home party to a large catered affair or corporate event. Equally at home providing intimate "unplugged" entertainment or full-tilt rock or dance, they have an extensive repertoire from 50s to modern hits, as well as standards, modern country, and ethnic selections. Specialties include 60s pop/Beatles/Motown, 70s Classic Rock, and Dance (especially 70s/80s, but newer and older as well). The core members are available in solo, duo, and trio configurations, but most often perform together with at least one other member, on drums, and as needed, supplemented by other players, including any combination of one to three brass players, bass, percussionist, and additional vocals.

I just recently dusted off the DPS offspec for my DK, and went back to unholy. I really noticed the difference of the 1 second GCD compared to other classes. I am mashing more buttons than I do on my assassination rogue since energy pooling leaves me far less GCD capped, and it's one of the reasons I prefer tanking on my DK over DPSing since Wrath.
If the GCD were to be removed, additional thought to how resources are accumulated is required, so there's interesting choices to be made rather than faster and faster button mashing. Even more thought would be required if resources (like energy / rune refresh rate) scale with stats (like haste)... at the end of an expansion, it would be no fun to have a sunwell radiance effect for resources so everyone didn't get carpal tunnel syndrome.
It would be fine if they just made the GCD go away and put longer internal cooldowns on individual abilities. But as a DK I need to spend my runes fast as possible so they can start regenerating faster and not all classes might have the same benefit from spending their resources faster. DKs are about the only class I am aware of that gets resources back faster if they spend them faster... But I guess not ever having played an MMO that didn't have a GCD im not sure what to say about it..

Investing is never easy, and building a balanced portfolio is one of life's most difficult endeavors.
The current investment climate does not make this process any easier. Despite all the complications, we individual investors really have three fundamental choices when it comes to storing and growing our financial wealth.
We can invest in stocks. Stocks have always represented the highest potential return and the highest potential risk for investors and for this discussion we will consider investing in stocks as our most fundamental choice.
Secondly, we can invest in bonds. It seems everyone hates bonds, and this has been true for for my whole investing career going back 20 years. This being said, bonds are on the tail end of a 30-plus year bull market. So while everyone hates bonds, someone has been gobbling them up for decade after decade after decade. Bonds have always represented safety and low returns, and for the most part have remained true to this reputation.
Then we have cash (bank deposits and money markets). I think the only thing investors dislike more than bonds is cash, and after years of zero interest rates I don't know anyone very excited by their CD rates.
The tough part is two of the three above choices are currently caught in a cycle that has effectively removed them as attractive, if not viable, intermediate term tools for achieving our financial goals.
The age-old solution to managing the risk associated with investing in stocks has been using bonds to achieve portfolio balance. Bonds are considered as a haven for safe money.
On May 2, however, the bond market began a slide resulting in a continuing bear market in this asset class. While the most violent part of the decline may be over, historical perspective and logic easily conclude further declines are likely in the cards. So if our safe haven choice is down 10 percent in the past four months, what do we do now?
Well isn't the stock market going gangbusters? This seems easy enough, let's dump those annoying bonds (no one liked them anyway) and get some more stocks. Just look at those performance numbers. This one is a no-brainer.
Has anyone actually ever seen a "no-brainer" when it comes to money? Me neither, and this situation definitely does not qualify.
Yes, bonds present some very real risks right now, but when deciding how to address this risk it is important to remain aware of your overall risk management strategy. Taking money out of bonds to increase exposure to stocks is perilous and needs to be considered carefully.
This leaves us with our third choice, cash. Well, Marc, who in the world wants cash? It doesn't make us any money. That's true, and probably not going to change soon.
One last question: Would you rather make nothing on your money, or lose your money? Hmm, a "no-brainer" after all.

Liem's Nature Room
My Room
Name: Liem (14 months)
Location: Houston, TX
Liem's room was inspired by the outdoors, mainly a camp room. My husband and I are avid outdoorsy people so we wanted to instill that sense of adventure in our son's room.
There's no specific theme to the room as I'm more of an eclectic decorator. We wanted to keep the paint color neutral so that Liem can grow into and use colors in furniture, art and fabric.
Thanks Quynh! Readers, see more of her work at Quynh Vora Designs

those floors.......beautiful!
Cute and it is decorated to allow changes as he gets older, which I think is great.
This is really well done!
Liem is 14 months and sleeps in a bed?? Holy smokes! Room is very nicely done. I love the simplicity.
Nice! And love the simplicity. I also was blown away he's sleeping in a bed at 14 months--don't even use a rail or was this taken off for pretty photos?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
As much as I hate GS culture in general, I'd have to agree with Mir here that you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. You don't KNOW yet what kind of culture this pick up rated BG will breed, and pessimism at the Wow player base is sometimes what perpetuates their (our) dickiness further. (Yes it's a word, I insist).
Besides, if you really want to start a change, you can always create your own group with a more lenient resil/GS requirement (or none at all). You might get steamrolled, but that's what happens when you're under-geared. You might succeed through sheer teamwork and skill, good for you. Complaining that you can't join PUGs casually because you lack the gear and desire to start your own group is just as dickheady (again, it's a word) as the elitists you complain about.

NBAA and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) are closely watching developments at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal involving the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS). On Tuesday, GAMA president and CEO Pete Bunce said at the organization's yearly press briefing that both associations are also working closely with the International Business Aviation Council on this matter.
Graduate Record Examinations
Despite the European Union's decision to postpone enforcement of its Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) for international flights until next fall, President Obama signed a bipartisan measure on November 27 that orders the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to prohibit U. S. aircraft operators from participating in the EU carbon tax plan.
"With final passage of this act, the President and Congress stand as one in declaring that the EU-ETS is an overreach, it's wrong, and it won't fly with operators based here in the U.S.," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen.
President Obama closed the legislative loop on U.S. refusal to comply with the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) on Tuesday, when he signed S.1956, a bipartisan measure that orders the Secretary of Transportation to prohibit U.S. aircraft operators from participating in the carbon tax plan.
A refreshing perspective on the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme went largely unnoticed last week, when organizers of a conference call to discuss a new study commissioned by the German Marshall Fund of the United States canceled the event due to a lack of registrants.

The zuey zuey zooooot noises are WAY TO LOUD through-out the song. Everything else was awesome, but in the middle when listening to the wubs, the loud noises came back and my brain exploded. Seriously made my head hurt after only 2 listens. Otherwise super fantastic awesome dubby.

Nice dubstep there.
Your first instrument was a little bit irritating.
It would be nice if the drop snuck up on you and it wasn't so obvious.
But, the drop was AWESOME. Nice distortion.
It sounds a bit strange to have the drop bass play the same notes during and outside of the drop. More variation would be better.
Thanks for the great song! Keep making dubstep
Rated 5 / 5 stars April 24, 2012
NICE! the drop was tight, i would have added a bit more distortion, or changed the sound a bit more post drop, since you introduced it before the drop, but that's not enough to dock it any points. great job man! no other complaints! it'd be awesome if you checked out some of my stuff! thanks.

VVIP Chopper deal: Accused firm moves court for defreezing account
New Delhi: Aeromatrix Info Solutions private limited, an accused firm in the Rs 3,600 crore VVIP helicopter deal scam, has moved a Delhi court seeking defreezing of its bank account for paying salaries to its employees. The Chandigarh-based firm, in its petition, has said CBI has frozen its bank account having around Rs 1.4 crore in it and they want money to pay their employees. Special CBI Judge Ravinder Kaur today directed the firm to furnish the details of the bank account and employees who are to be paid salary and fixed the matter for further hearing on April 20. Former IAF chief S P Tyagi has also been named as an accused by the CBI in the chopper deal. The former Air Chief, his cousins -- Sanjeev alias Julie, Rajeev alias Docsa and Sandeep, European middlemen Carlo Gerosa, Christian Michel and Guido Haschke are among 13 individuals named in the CBI FIR as accused. Besides Aeromatrix, its CEO Praveen Bakshi is also an accused in the case. Legal advisor and former board member of accused firm IDS Infotech -- Gautam Khaitan and Bakshi had allegedly routed bribe money to the Tyagis, CBI had alleged. The CBI in its FIR has booked all the accused under the provisions of the IPC relating to cheating and criminal conspiracy and the Prevention of Corruption Act. Shashi Tyagi is the first Chief of the Indian Air Force to be named in a corruption or criminal case by the CBI.
CBI has alleged that during his tenure as Air Chief, Tyagi and "with his approval" the Air Force "conceded to reduce the service ceiling for VVIP helicopters from 6,000 meters to 4,500 meters as mandatory to which it was opposing vehemently on the grounds of security constraints and other related reasons. CBI has said reduction of service ceiling -- maximum height at which a helicopter can perform normally -- allowed UK-based AgustaWestland to come into the fray as, otherwise, its helicopters were not even qualified for submission of bids. It alleged that middleman Haschke through his Tunisia-based company Gordian Services Sarl entered into several consultancy contracts with AgustaWestland from 2004-05 onwards and "almost on back-to-back basis he also made consultancy contracts with the Tyagi brothers (cousins)". Under the cover of these contracts, Haschke allegedly sent Euro 1.26 lakh and two lakh to Tyagi brothers, it said.
"Besides these two remittances, Tyagi brothers also received some unquantified sum of money from the middlemen (Haschke and Gerosa). The inflow of remittances to Tyagi brothers and softening of IAF's stand on service ceiling of the helicopter closely match in terms of time," the FIR said. According to the FIR, "Haschke and Gerosa managed to send Euro 5.6 million through Mohali-based IDS Infotech and Chandigarh-based Aeromatrix Info Solutions private limited to India and kept the remaining amount out of about Euro 24.30 million received from AgustaWestland with themselves in the account of IDS Tunisia."
CBI also alleged that AgustaWestland managed to introduce a comparative flight trial with non-functional engine and eventually succeeded in getting the contract for supply of 12 AW-101 VVIP Helicopters from the Defence Ministry mainly due to softening of the IAF on service ceiling after Tyagi took over as its Chief.

Written by Adrian K. Wood and Illustrated by Giuseppe Rava. Osprey Publishing, Ltd., Long Island City, NY. (2012)
Reviewed by John R. Satterfield, DBA.
Writing about human activities in the Bronze and early Iron Ages is a daunting task. Evidence from these eras is fragmentary at best, like a jigsaw puzzle with far more pieces missing than available. Focused examinations on specific topics must rely on even sketchier resources. Earliest examples of writing or illustrations that survive are typically clay tablets or inscriptions on monuments or buildings, and nearly all of these artifacts are remnants.

BOOK REVIEW: British Light Cruisers 1939-45
By Angus Konstam, illus. by Paul Wright, Osprey Publishing, Oxford, UK. (2012).
Reviewed by Richard P. Hallion, Ph.D.
Generally speaking, light cruisers have not received as much attention from historians and novelists as have other vessels, though they have figured in two of the great novels of naval warfare—C. S. Forester's The Ship, and Alistair MacLean's H.M.S. Ulysses. Both relate the travails of protecting convoys from sub, surface, and air attack, the former about supplying Malta, and the latter about the Murmansk run. This slender but highly useful volume is a welcome factual introduction to the type, focusing on those vessels of the Royal Navy, which ably served the Admiralty's needs during the greatest sea war ever fought.
BOOK REVIEW – USN Destroyer VS IJN Destroyer: The Pacific 1943
By Mark E. Stille, with contributors, Osprey Publishing, Long Island City, NY (2012)
Reviewed by Michael F. Solecki
The naval frigates known as "destroyers" first came into their own in the Pacific Theater of World War II. These ships evolved out of the 1890s from the need to counter smaller torpedo boats used to attack capital ships in fleet-formation; getting their name from the shortening of the original moniker of "Torpedo Boat Destroyer." They are known as the "greyhounds of the sea" for their sleek hulls, tasking flexibility, speed, maneuverability and stamina; oh, and of course their "haze grey" color.

BOOK REVIEW – Great Lakes Warships, 1812-1815
By Mark Lardas, Osprey Publishing, Oxford, United Kingdom (2010)
Reviewed by Diana L. Ahmad, Ph.D.
For a book of only forty-eight pages, this publication provides an excellent overview of the Great Lakes ships of the War of 1812. An amateur historian, the author, Mark Lardas, trained as a Naval Architecture and Marine Engineer, but worked at the Johnson Space Center for a time. Lardas devotes as much time to describing the vessels as he does to explaining the battles in which the ships participated.

This small gem is one of Osprey's comprehensive series of books on military history, units, and warriors. Despite the date in the book's title, the history of western nations' gunboats patrolling the Yangtze River goes back to June 1858, upon signature of the Treaty of Tientsin.
DUAL BOOK REVIEW: US Submarines 1900-35 and Defeating the U-Boat: Inventing Antisubmarine Warfare
US Submarines 1900-35 by Jim Christley, Osprey Publishing, 2011.
Defeating the U-Boat: Inventing Antisubmarine Warfare by Jan S. Breemer, Dept. of the Navy, 2010.
Reviewed by James-Joseph Ahern
Introduced into naval service at the start of the Twentieth-Century, the submarine presented the first threat to the century old concept of the battle fleet as being the primary source of control of the seas. Many naval officers looked down on these small, cramped and smelly boats as little more than coastal defense weapons that had no place in the fleet let alone as a threat to the ever growing behemoths at their center – the battleships. Yet in less than two decades the technological development of submarines on both sides of the Atlantic, along with the practical experience of their crews, had catapulted them into ocean going vessels that almost cost the United Kingdom World War I. Two new works that look at the submarine from a technological perspective as well as a strategic view are Jim Christley's US Submarines, 1900-35, and Jan S. Breemer's Defeating the U-boat: Inventing Antisubmarine Warfare.

Q&A: What do FSH levels signify?
I have been told that I have an FSH of 12.2, and that my chances of conceiving are around 5 percent. Also if I do conceive, apparently my chances of having a miscarriage are around 70 percent. I am 37 years old.
I was wondering—given the fluctuation of some people's FSH—what are my chances? I have been told by my OB-GYN that I should seek the advice of a fertility specialist. I can't help but hope that if I just relax, nature will be on my side.
Elevations in FSH are an indication of decreased ovarian reserve (DOR). Women with DOR do have a lower chance for pregnancy, an increased risk for miscarriage, and an increase in the risk for Down syndrome. The success rate of fertility treatments, including in-vitro fertilization (IVF), is lower in women with DOR.
There is no accurate means for determining your overall chance for having a healthy live born baby. The 5 percent number given by your doctor is not based on any data but rather just his best guess. FSH levels do fluctuate from month to month but your prognosis is best estimated by your highest level. In other words, your ovarian reserve is not "better" on the months that your FSH is lower.
There is no evidence to support stress as a cause for decreased ovarian reserve or that relaxation techniques will lower FSH or improve your ovarian reserve. Your doctor's advice to see a fertility specialist is sound. Ovarian reserve will only worsen with time so the time to think about treatment is sooner rather than later.

The musicians of the inaugural NYO-USA came together on the campus of Purchase College for an intensive week of rehearsals to prepare the tour program. Instrumental faculty joined the young players for a side-by-side rehearsal early in the week, as Orchestra Director James Ross filled the self-described role of "surrogate father" to the orchestra, working to build a strong sense of ensemble and equip the players with the flexibility to respond to Valery Gergiev's direction in just 10 days' time. Outside of full orchestra and sectional rehearsals devoted to the tour program (Sean Shepherd's new work for NYO-USA, Magiya; Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto; and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10), the residency offered a range of workshops and seminars. Topics included an introduction to the Feldenkrais Method, composing, conducting, musical improvisation, engaging audiences, yoga for musicians, and the cultural history of Moscow and St. Petersburg. The extraordinary instrumental faculty assembled for NYO-USA also offered a master class to the members of their respective sections and participated in an evening of chamber music reading and coaching.
July 4 was highlighted by a cookout for the orchestra and staff, and a few days later, NYO-USA enjoyed a day of sightseeing and music in New York City. Groups of musicians toured the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National September 11 Memorial, Central Park, and Times Square before gathering at Avery Fisher Hall for a New York Philharmonic performance and a post-concert panel discussion with members of the orchestra about touring and life as a professional musician. A Hudson River boat cruise and impromptu on-deck dance party capped a memorable day off for NYO-USA.
The second week of NYO-USA saw the arrival of maestro Valery Gergiev and soloist Joshua Bell for their first rehearsals with the orchestra, leading up to NYO-USA's debut concert at Purchase College's Performing Arts Center. Two nights later, the orchestra's tour began with a sold-out performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. The musicians then embarked on an international journey that took them to Russia for concerts at the historic Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and the newly opened Mariinsky II in St. Petersburg, culminating in a performance at Royal Albert Hall in London as part of the BBC Proms.

Prints and Preschool
I'm not sure how many of my Priddies are mothers, but those of you who are know that this time of year means back to school. Now those of you have older children are season veterans at preparing the kiddies for their return to school. However, this summer my first born son turned three and can now attend the Pre-k 3 program at the local preschool.
My baby boy Trint
Let's rewind some 2 years earlier,when Trint turned 1 year old. I started the countdown for school. I couldn't wait!! Then the day arrived , and I was more nervous than he appeared. I just knew that when we got there he would cry and tantrum , making a huge scene yelling "MOM DON'T GO!" Surprisingly that didn't happen. He walked right in and found his name for his cubbie and coat hook. He hung his things, turned around and waved and said in his best big kid voice," Bye ,Mom! I'll see you later" 2 hugs later I was in the car and I was the one weeping. I just couldn't believe my baby boy was growing up and at school. I cried a good minuted, actually the whole car ride home.
(You'll find out I'm a big cry baby.)
Of course I had to call my husband, we had a bet going whether he would cry or not.
(He won.) He calmed me down letting me know that this was inevitable and how I should be excited that he is so studious at such a young age. But as a mom its always hard to see your kids grow up and not need you. (Look at me acting like he's going to college, it's just 1/2 day Pre-K) Anyhow , I met the teacher and got to tour to school and here are the pics as well as the Look of the Day.

#58: The Thief (1952) June 15, 2011Posted by badblokebob in : Thriller, Film Noir: Classic, Crime, 3 stars, 1950s, silent films, 2011 , 3 comments
Ray Milland stars as Dr. Allan Fields, a nuclear physicist working at the United States Atomic Energy Commission, who is photographing secret files and passing them to The Other Side, until something goes wrong and the authorities are on his tail. But that's almost beside the point, because if The Thief is known for anything it's for its dialogue — as the poster proclaims, "not a word is spoken…!"
At some points in cinema history that would go without saying, obviously, but this is 25 years after the first talkie, so it's being Experimental. It's not silent film styled either, unlike recent attempts to recreate that early era like La Antena or 2011 Cannes competitor (and Palm Dog winner*) The Artist. There's a minimal use of text here too — certainly no intertitles, and only a couple of printed pages to help us follow the story. I'd argue most of those aren't needed either. They all crop up fairly late on, by which point we've grown accustomed to interpreting what we're seeing without the help of words, so it's almost a shame Rouse resorts to them.
It's credit to Rouse's direction and performances, particularly by Ray Milland, that we can follow what we're seeing without more text. That said, it is a fairly straightforward and archetypal story — while it demonstrates that you can tell a story without dialogue, it might leave one wondering about the possibilities for telling a wholly original or truly complex story that way. Obviously we can look back to the silent cinema for that kind of thing, but while that era could probably still teach many filmmakers something about visual storytelling, it's hard to deny that the advent of synchronised sound adds a helluva lot to the ability of film — if it didn't, it wouldn't have taken over so fast and remained virtually 100% dominant for the last 80+ years.
But anyway. Milland conveys the necessary emotions through his face and actions alone. Rouse manipulates the plot to suit a little showcasing of his direction: mostly it's a tale of espionage, meaning tense chase sequences that are often only underscored by music in regular films anyway, but the second half presents an aside in which an alluring Rita Gam — credited only as The Girl — seduces Miland as he hides out in a New York apartment. "Look," Rouse seems to say, "we could do a romance too."
It's unusual that the hero is working for the other lot. Sure, there are plenty of murderers and assorted other crooks as heroes in film noir, but here we're expected to identify with a Commie traitor? How very dare they! Perhaps this is why the villains are never explicitly named. But they're definitely not American! Tsk tsk. More crucially, it's a bit slow at times — it seems to take longer to explain things when stuck doing them through visuals alone. That said, it could probably have survived a speedier approach even doing what it does — perhaps, then, Rouse is playing for time: the film only runs 87 minutes in spite of its pace.
The Thief tells its story and relays the thoughts and feelings of its lead character effectively, even if that story is a bit simplistic and even if there are times when it's clearly jumping through a hoop or two to make sure no dialogue is required. The lack of dialogue is certainly a gimmick, albeit one that — more often than not — works. It's an interesting film, I'll certainly give it that.
* I didn't know they had a Palm Dog award until this. That's… well, I think that's awesome; as the Americans like to say, your mileage may vary.
#10: Ernst Lubitsch in Berlin: From Schönhauser Allee to Hollywood (2006) January 30, 2010Posted by badblokebob in : Documentary, 2000s, 3 stars, world cinema, films about films, silent films, Biography, 2010 , add a comment
Part biography, part making-of, part analytical retrospective, Robert Fischer's documentary does what it says on the tin: tells the story of the life and work of actor/director Ernst Lubitsch from his formative years, living on Schönhauser Allee in Berlin, to when he made the move to America in the early 1920s.
Fischer devotes a large amount of time to Lubitsch's early years — the life he had growing up, his years as a stage actor, and how he eventually shifted into becoming a film actor — attempting not only to tell the story of his upbringing, but to draw (or leave the viewer to draw) parallels with the films Lubitsch would go on to make. A use of 'family history' first- and second-hand accounts and analysis from authors, critics and admirers strikes a moderate balance here, though those primarily interested in his eventual film work may find it goes on a bit too long.
A lot is also made of (or, at least, implied about) Max Reinhardt's influence on a young Lubitsch. The film implies Reinhardt had a greater significance generally, but lacks any context about why he was such a momentous figure. In fairness the film isn't about him, but one feels a minute or two clarifying his importance may have been warranted.
When Lubitsch's directing career is eventually arrived upon, Fischer uses the same mix of talking heads to cover both the behind-the-scenes story of Lubitsch's career, spanning a half-dozen or so of his more significant German works, and provide a brief analysis of how they foreshadowed (or didn't) his future career and what they might reveal about the man and his methods. With such a broad overview no one film is covered in particularly great depth, despite the feature-length running time, though recollections from actors Emil Jannings and Henny Porten provide some film-specific focus.
Illustrated with copious clips and photographs from Lubitsch's work, the documentary incidentally instills a desire to see more of the director's early work. Tantalising glimpses of and stories about films such as The Eyes of the Mummy Ma, Carmen, Madame DuBarry, Kohlhiesel's Daughter and The Loves of Pharaoh all leave one longing they were included in the box set too — though considering the six films already allotted, it's hardly an oversight that there aren't even more. As IMDb/Wikipedia seem to suggest none of these are lost, perhaps there's space for a Volume Two?
Given that I found the documentary interesting, the following score might seem a tad low. Judged in the world of DVD extras, Ernst Lubitsch in Berlin would likely fare better; bumping it up to the world of 'Proper Films', however, reduces that somewhat. As much as anything, while I'm sure it's of interest to the already interested, it's not compelling enough to warrant viewing by anyone else.

The Indiana House has approved an amended version of the bill that would ban gay marriage in the state constitution. The altered version strikes a single sentence, now opening the door for civil unions and employee benefits for same-sex couples. The bill, HJR-3, passed 57 to 40.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers narrowly approved altering the proposed constitutional ban Monday evening to remove language that would ban recognition of anything "similar" to marriage for same-sex couples. That section of the amendment had become a sticking point for many legislators who otherwise support the ban.
Rep. David Niezgodski (D-South Bend) voted against the ban, saying before the vote that HJR-3 "restricts the Constitution so it cannot breath."
Rep. Woody Burton (R-Whiteland) is a supporter of the constitutional amendment. He says some have accused him of letting his faith get in the way, in response he says, "I certainly hope so. I'm not ashamed of it."
In order for the Constitutional Amendment to make it on the ballot, the same version of the bill needs to pass two consecutive General Assemblies, so this change indicates it may not happen this fall.
The amended version of the bill now goes to the state Senate.
Patrick Mangan of Citizens for Community Values is in favor of the bill. He says the battle may not be over yet because the Senate could place the measure back on course to appear on the November ballot.
"One of the things that I would hope would happen is that the Senate would pass the bill as it was, and when they do the reconciliation, that they can take the amendment out, and have this still go through and onto the ballot," says Mangan.
Freedom Indiana, the group fighting against the constitutional ban, reacted to that possibility, but they remain optimistic.
"There are certainly ways people can bring things back to life, but I think it's a positive step in the right direction," says Megan Robertson with Freedom Indiana.
If the Senate passes the bill with the changed language, the earliest the bill could go before the voters is 2016.
