Product Description
Comedy starring Judi Dench as Laura Henderson, a widow who is not by any means, going to spend the rest of her days playing bridge. The Windmill Theatre becomes her game and the infamous showman Vivian Van Dam (Bob Hoskins) becomes her partner and fiercest opponent. The Germans are bombing London but the roar of the Windmill is all that can be heard, as Laura convinces Lord Cromer (Christopher Guest) to allow her actresses to be the one thing no one could ever imagine: nude. Brought to its knees by war, what Mrs Henderson Presents brings a nation to its feet in applause.
From Amazon.co.uk
The blitz-bombing of London in World War II provides the serious backdrop for the uplifting entertainment of Mrs. Henderson Presents, a delightful comedy anchored by the flawless performances of Judi Dench and Bob Hoskins.
After losing a son in World War I, and becoming a widow in 1937, the wealthy and respectable Mrs. Henderson (Dench) decides that the best way to support soldiers going off to battle is to give them a wartime send-off they'll never forget. Thus, she buys and renovates the Windmill Theatre in London's Soho district, hires Mr. Vivian Van Damm (Hoskins) as the impresario of an all-day musical variety show called "Revudeville," and secures permission from the censorious Lord Cromer (Christopher Guest) to include naked women in the stage show--on the condition that the ladies remain still onstage to qualify as "art," like nude portraits in a gallery, with the "foliage" of their "midlands" discreetly obscured. "Revudeville" is an instant hit, British propriety remains tastefully intact, and as The Windmill's fortunes rise, fall, and rise again, Mrs. Henderson Presents develops an emotional depth and good-natured nobility that's perfectly matched to the comedy of tweaking British manners.
Working from an eloquently witty, fact-based screenplay by Martin Sherman, director Stephen Frears (High Fidelity) brings out the best in a well-chosen cast, and Andrew Dunn's cinematography (enhanced by judicious use of digital effects to show the London blitz in progress) casts a warm, inviting glow over this winning tale of show-biz tenacity in the best and worst of times. --Jeff Shannon

Based on a true story, the movie begins in 1937 when the wealthy Laura Henderson (Dench) has just been widowed. Refusing to go gently into widowhood, Laura heeds the advice of her friend Lady Conway (a riotous Thelma Barlow) and finds herself a hobby. But she just can't handle needlepoint, and being a board member on various charities just isn't her thing, so instead, she decides to buy a run down property on Great Windmill Street in Soho with the intention of turning it into a theater.
Of course, Mrs. Henderson knows nothing about running a music hall, so she enlists the help of Vivian Van Damm (Bob Hoskins), a currently unemployed theatre manager. The problem is that Laura and Vivian don't exactly see eye to eye - Vivian sees Laura as snotty and rude, a product of her privileged class, while Laura views Vivian as "Jewish" a cigar smoker who is kind of low class.
It doesn't help that they also end up clashing professionally. They're both strong willed individuals, who each have different artistic visions for the theater, with most of their time taken up arguing and trading acerbic barbs at one another. But eventually they manage to sort out their differences and make a go at it, and success comes quickly, with shows running almost continually. This daily novelty, however, can't withstand competition from movie houses and other vaudeville shows in the West End.Read more ›
If you'd told me before I had heard of "Mrs Henderson Presents", that in one of the more moving and amusing films I would see this year, the actress playing a septuagenarian widow would completely steal the show from a bevy of attractive younger women who spend much of the film without their clothes, I would have found it hard to believe but the answer can be explained in two words - Judi Dench.
Dame Judi plays Mrs Lilian Henderson: the film starts with her husband's funeral, and shortly thereafter in one of the many sad parts of the film she flies to France to visit the grave of her only son, who had been killed in the first world war aged 21. "Bored with widowhood" and looking for something to do, she buys the Windmill theatre and hires Vivian Van Damm (Bob Hoskins) to run it. Come the second world war, she decides to entertain the troops by putting on displays of naked girls.
The film is at times very sad, and at others very funny. All the acting is superb, especially from Dench, Hoskins, Christopher Guest who plays the Lord Chamberlain, Thelma Barlow as one of Mrs Henderson's friends, plus Will Young and Kelly Reilly as cast members. Some people wondered if a more extreme parody of the Lord Chamberlain by soneone like John Cleese would have been funnier: personally I thought Christopher Guest's understated embarrasment and outrage worked better than a slapstick, over-the-top peformance would have.
This film could easily have been rude, cheesy, or unsophisticated, but it was none of those things. Clearly not everyone liked it, but a lot of other people did, and I was one of them. I think it deserved the critical acclaim.
It is really well acted, it is great that they brought the story of the windmill theatre to life. Both my children aged 12 and 13 also really enjoyed the film.
I have already pre ordered it just to watch it again!!!!
This movie is absolutely charming, thanks to the wonderful Judy Dench and Bob Hoskins. Dench is always such a pleasure to watch; she simply owns the screen. Her character is snobbish, rigid, and quite loveable. Hoskins is the perfect match for her. He's just as outrageously snobbish as she is, and their scenes together are the best in the movie. There's lots of 30s and 40s music and lots of nudes. It's a touching, sweet little film, and knowing it really happened makes it even better.

Through research, site evaluations and help from structural engineers, arborists are learning more and more about the how's and why's of a tree's ability to stand and fall. Many different factors are at work affecting the strength and structure of trees. A tree falls over or a branch breaks due to one basic fact: the force affecting it is greater than the strength of it. For example, when the force of the wind is stronger than the strength of the root system which holds the tree in place, it will fall.

In 1923, at a small school house near Camden known as the Cleveland School, more than 300 people gathered for a graduation night celebration and play. At 9 p.m., one of the oil lanterns fell onto the stage and within minutes the school was engulfed in flames. Seventy-seven people lost their lives that night. During the past 100 years, we have made great strides in implementing fire codes and regulations to protect our citizens; but we must remain diligent.
Insurance companies in the United States are, in increasing numbers, cancelling the homeowners' policies of people who keep aggressive breeds of dogs. Industry statistics say that about one-third of insurance claims arise from dog bites, and companies are starting to tell people they won't insure them if they insist on having breeds that are known for their volatile nature. We don't blame the companies.

So I've received about a billion emails about this topic. On one hand, I think a limited amount of toe cleavage can be sexy (especially if your guy/girl has a foot fetish). However, too much toe cleavage can be a little out of place in certain more conservative environments like church or work. Then there are some fashion experts, that believe you should show no more than two cleavage (or cleavi? what would be the plural of cleavage?).

There are plenty of group rides to meet up with, many but not all advertised on the board. Keep an eye out for the couple of riding games we have here, too, Tag-o-Rama and Wheelset of Fortune. Plenty more beyond that, too.

Been lurking om this board for a little while now and wanted to say hi! I've been biking to work off and on from various neighborhoods to Downtown since 2009. The cycling bug bit me at church camp when I was little and I continued with it in the Boy Scouts and Venturing until I came to Pitt. Didn't bike too much during that time, but getting a job Downtown and a need for cheap transportation got me back into it.
Currently, I only have time to bike once a week or so due to the time involved and being a new father/husband, but I love every minute of it when I can!
Probably won't have a whole lot to offer due to my limited riding, but I'm looking forward to chatting more with you fine folks!

Board addict over the last couple of years, general poster of too-long messages. Haven't posted to this thread I didn't have a picture of me on a bike I liked. Thanks to fine folks at thick bikes for this one.
Urban riding, mostly commuting with some erranding in the mix (and am hoping a lot more in the future). Generally annoying cat-6 racer, jail trail vs. roadies, Forbes/fifth vs. cars.
1+? is complicated.
The 1 that works is the backup of the backup, a too short, remarkably heavy and clunky huffy mountain bike that doesn't fit me and with a fairly comical super-wide comfort seat fitted.
The +? is in the probably vain hope I might resurrect the old trek 700 that I pronounced dead back in the polar vortex. Will probably try a new chain, hope for the best, and if that's a non-starter give up on it. The clown bike that (mostly) carried me through from then till now, sadly, probably even more dead. After putting the message here, do you take dead bikes to freeride, leave out for the garbage man, something else??
At some point I'll get something nice and take care of it. Maybe even the bike in the picture.

Welcome! Lots of all types on this board so don't feel intimidated by being a "novice", and in fact being new to biking helps us reconnect with some of the challenges that some of us don't even remember any more. Your input is much appreciated here, and don't feel bashful about asking questions.
Something you may want to try is a 412-Flock ride. The next one is next Friday.
It's a slow paced social ride of ten miles or so and is intended to help people get comfortable riding on city streets. It's also a great way to meet other cyclists and ask questions, seek advice and whatnot.

Welcome to the Northside…I'm in Brighton Heights myself.
Ornoth #
I figure I have to follow up on Rebus' post, being another rider who just (48 hours ago, in fact) moved to Pittsburgh from Boston MA.
Name: Ornoth
Neighborhood: Squ'ill
Type of riding: I'm a road MAMIL. Do lots of endurance/distance road riding, both solo and club rides. Lots of centuries, lots of charities, some commuting, sometimes brevets. No racing, no offroad, and not much into bike paths.
Bikes: 2013 Roubaix named R2-Di2. Beater 2006 Roubaix called the Plastic Bullet. And a 2008 Bike Friday Pocket Rocket for travel.
Favorite pic of self on bike: Same as my profile pic. Taken during one of my 14 Pan-Mass Challenge rides for Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Quote: (Adapted from Ronnie Coleman) "Errybuddy wanna be a cyclist — ain't nobuddy wanna climb these big-ass hills! I'll do it tho!"
I'll have tons of questions as I get ramped up for my first season in Pittsburgh, but my most immediate need over the winter is a good 20-30 mile circuit near Squirrel Hill.
I'm assuming the shortest distance out of the city and onto quieter stretches of country roads is eastward, but Strava's heatmap implies there are limited options in that direction. Lincoln Road or Frankstown Road (380) out of Homewood; maybe Penn Ave thru Wilkinsburg; Brinton out of Edgewood. I don't mind trafficky urban riding, but it doesn't make for a great training ride. Where should I go to pound out some solid wintertime miles? Reply here or PM.
Thanks, and I hope to see you out on the roads this spring!

I recommend finding Oscar Swan's book "Bike rides out of Pittsburgh" at the Carnegie Library for some good ride suggestions.
I'm sure the rando guys will be contacting you shortly too.
And welcome to Pittsburgh to both you and Brother_r.

ORNOTH! Welcome to the Burgh!

@Ornoth: Another recommendation for Oscar Swan's book (and, if you have trouble finding a copy, I've got one you can borrow in exchange for a hefty security deposit ;-) ). That'll give you a great introduction to road riding around these here parts.
For reasonably pain-free riding out of the East End, I recommend heading north, rather than east. Once you cross the Allegheny River, you're pretty much spoiled for choice…almost any turn off Freeport Rd, for example, will take you somewhere interesting. Easy variable-length loops can be constructed by heading out the 62nd St Bridge through Etna to Saxonburg Blvd, heading north until you get bored, then turning left and returning via Middle Rd, or right and returning through all sorts of interesting possibilities.
Regarding rando and winter riding: you can sign up for the Pittsburgh Randonneurs mailing list at http://pittsburghrandonneurs.com/contact-us/, and/or feel free to contact me via email: dan dot blumenfeld at gmail dot com.

Welcome, Ornoth. I'm a MAMNIL, just a commuter cyclist. I live 10 miles north of town, so I could suggest out-and-back via two of my usual commutes.
Get to and cross the 40th St Bridge. I use the upstream sidewalk but have duked it out with traffic in the right lane occasionally.
Right at the end of the bridge. Ignore the bike lane. It's downhill, and you're making a left at the bottom.
Grant Avenue to North Avenue through Millvale. A couple of mild bends/turns generally to the left puts you on Babcock Blvd. There are a several right-turn-only lanes where you go straight. I expect to get at least one angry suburbanite give me a horn at one of these. Often I get lucky and enjoy a quiet ride.
Left onto Three Degree Road. (Officially, Babcock makes a right here.) Three Degree is short but nasty, only a quarter mile but 6% uphill grade, curving right, four lanes, no shoulder, and you're making a left at the top. I generally claim the right lane on any four-lane road.
Left at top onto Perry Highway, pointing you back southward. I employ a staircase in West View to get me past a dogleg turn on a steep hill. 53 concrete steps and 200 yards of pushing the bike through the woods beats a half mile of general nastiness, and lets me exercise a different set of muscles for five minutes.
Perry eventually becomes Perrysville Avenue back into the city. Lots of variations on ways to get from the top corner of Perrysville at Federal. One is to plummet down Federal, but there's a stop sign 3/4 way down. Possible to hit 45+ coming down that hill, but it's trafficky and the pavement sucks.
Near the river, I'd jump on the trail, roll out to the 31st St Bridge, and find one of fortyleven ways to get back to Squill from there.
All told, about 25 miles, and I do this every day, one direction or the other. At the Babcock-3D corner, you're about a mile from my house.

Hey, all. I have decided to come out of lurk. Great to see yinz. I ride a pretty solid 25 mi a day in commuting, regularly attend Flock events, as well as many other events, and i'm pretty much down to ride whenever. I probably see a lot of yuns out there, and look forward to seeing some new faces.

About Me: I started biking to work everyday out of necessity last year because my auto needed work. Then I got my auto fixed and my bike frame cracked. Then, my auto died again. Then… I put together this bike with frame from Free Rides and help from Kraynick's. My auto sits waiting for me but I'm spending too much on bike stuff and having too much fun to fix it. Just got new clipless shoes/pedals but haven't tried yet. Looking for fellow riders for possible short tours.

Name: Jason
Neighborhood: Bethel Park/South Hills
Type of riding: Mostly commuting, some MTB riding and a few charity rides every summer.
# of bikes: 5 (Looking to sell a Trek 1.1 to thin the herd if anyone's interested…otherwise a Specialized Diverge, Raleigh Tokul MTB, and assorted other junkers taking up space)
Music: Currently enjoying Steve Miller Band in the coffee shop I'm in. Usually any kind of rock is good rock to me!
About me: What's to know? I like to ride bikes, really any excuse I have to ride is a good excuse. I work as a pastor at a local church, and figure I can suffer for a few miles every day to keep some of that carbon stuff out of the air. I'm also off all summer, so I have nothing better to do but ride and post on message boards. I'm married, and the lucky father of twin boys, so pretty soon that rig is going to include a trailer I'm sure.
Picture: (Insert frustrated sounds of not knowing how to work code…just picture a fat guy on a bike)

Welcome, Jason! You found a good crowd. Several of us are commuters, including a few from south of Mount Washington. For hooking your family to bikes in one way or another, turn to Ben (@byogman) or Shawn, the latter of whom has twin girls.
Ask just about any question, within a few hours you'll get a straight answer or four, or pointers to someone who knows more.

I am interested in trying out this pack with Large Torso and Med or Large hip belt.
Let me know if you have one.
Nice.....I ordered on Thursday night and it shipped out yesterday. It wasn't something I would have imagined they just had on hand either. Pretty darn good IMO.
Pretty sure you can only order from the drop down menu.
I think he just meant custom work.
Could be wrong.
Same here. Hopefully we can sort it out after.
I sleep to long.....:shades:
edit: and snoring.....never snored before I slept in a hammock.
Is that the Zip Jetboil?
Payment received.
It is.
PM inbound.
SPF to 22hornet.
Used for 3 weeks.

C'est magnifique Shug.
Have to admit I did a double take when I saw canoe in the title.:shades:
Do you know (or anybody)...
ordered a new one so I guess mods can delete the thread.:)
Friday night bump.
I'm getting an itchy trigger finger here guys :p....might just get a new one shortly but my offer still stands for the moment.:)
thanks but wrong size. need large torso. med or large hip belt. they are nice though.
I hate to do it but I have a practically new Wilderness Logic's 40 degree UQ I can make part of the deal if...
looks like I really needed a large torso.
still lookin.....:cool:
pm inbound.
Large Torso, Large or Med Hipbelt.
Possible quilt trades if interested as well.
Haha.....I larks head as well due to my fascination with energy conservation....:lol:
FWIW OP if you choose to larks head around, when you lay in the hammock the Amsteel will tighten up and won't...
Im so bummed about this.
Not being able to adjust the whoopie slings when the trees were to close was my pet peeve big time.
Just wanted to vent a little....:rolleyes:
This is exactly why I went with a WL Snipe as my first.
Simple hammock that could be turned inside out to try either way.
That said... I was convinced I would be head left.... but actually Im more...
I would like to make it if I can as well.
Looked like a great time!!
How do you like the evos Shug?
are you using the tails?
im thinking about those or the ascents.
I use a small sheet of plastic to set my pack on.
Ive also used a contractor's clean up bag when I knew it would rain to put ALL my stuff in it...but thats kinda a overkill
When I was using a...
beat me to it....
(this thread should be a sticky.)
Let us know and have fun.
Arrow Head Equipment is my suggestion.
there could be others as well.
Definitely some wows there for your collection. :)
"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.
more good responses thank you....
My Wilderness Logics summer 45 TQ is 75'' long and 45'' wide....
My Mid Atlantic Mountain Works TQ 30 is 78'' long and 55'' wide so I really felt they would...
im a noob as well haha....only been at this hammock thing a year now.
the 30 degree was my first quilt and I was looking to stretch my season out from lower temps in winter with clothing and an UQP,...
thanks for the responses everybody....pretty much what I figured.
it can be done but gotta try it out to be absolutely sure.
worst case scenario ill bring my army bags.... cause ill be pulk'n...
Recently got myself a 0 degree incubator and was wondering if anyone had some opinions on whether the aforementioned TQ combination would get me down to zero or not.
I may or may not be able to try...
pretty awesome....
I don't know why the way you rigged up your tarp doors to velcro shut or the tops to open for ventilation isnt seen at any of the cottage shops.
Seems like a smart idea.
President Tree....sounds like it might be part of the group your thinking of and apparently not quite the tallest believe it or not.....but probably still illegal.
I for one wouldn't mind if he...
off topic but Ive been saving this for when you posted again.
thought you'd think it was cool.
yup....here it is.
Its an interesting theory.
Ive seen zpacks quilts... and they are made with cuben.... and they don't trap condensation.
The general concensus about UQ's and UQP is what silversurfer said though for...
those are really great...:laugh:
welp... i went red....this post pushed me that way. :)
pretty dang excited...:woot:
Thanks for the help Dutch...you da man :)
The red or blue are very tempting I have to say...
Ive been googling incubator colors to find them all day to no avail..haha
Nuts on the...
Im in the same boat and im torturing myself.....only 10 hours left :scared:
Most of my colors are pretty drab so Im thinking about changing it up and the threads concerning color are pretty...
oh ok....good deal....thanks for the info.
haha ok....i was briefly perusing that thread earlier.
didn't realize that was the tarp.
nice job btw.
Im interested in seeing what the outcome is....
outandbacks stuff is really nice as...
Nice....looks super fly to me.
With your trekking pole... how are you attaching to the tarp?
I assume the same general way but is anything else different?
Yup....Hardcore hangers :)
what tarp is that and how are the poles attached?
looks good.
Kinda where my mind was with what the "over the top mod" could handle.
Now im sort of wondering what the...
Interesting thanks....Looks good to me.
Have you used this mod with any sort of a snow load btw?
I see a lot of folks who are pretty hardcore winter hangers using internal vertical poles.
Thanks Rob.
Are those poles from WL as well?
How are you attaching the tarp to the CRL HK?
Yes wear from the poles on the tarp without the CRL to suspend it is was I was referring to for sure...
Good to hear you haven't had a problem with your rig with all that use.
If I were to try a...
ok gotcha....
shock cord between the two trees just to keep the poles up off the tarp right?
Good idea.
I know the CRL isn't recommended for the superfly so it got me thinking....and up till now I...

PITTSBURGH - Pitcher Adam Dian decided to give up his final year of eligibility to pursue a professional career when he signed a contract with the Texas Rangers two weeks ago on July 24.
"I am very happy for Adam and wish him great success in pursuit of a professional career," head coach Joe Jordano said following the news.
Dian made his professional debut with the Arizona League Rangers of the Rookie League level on Aug. 2. He pitched one inning in relief, giving up a hit and walk while striking out one for a scoreless frame. Before joining the Rangers, Dian spent the first half of his summer with the Waterloo Bucks of the Northwoods League. An All-Star for the summer league, Dian was 0-1 with a 2.21 earned run average and 13 saves in 20.1 innings out of the bullpen.
In his final year at Pitt, Dian tossed 16.1 innings over 14 appearances, resulting in a 1-2 record and a save. Dian spent two seasons at Temple prior to arriving at Pittsburgh. At Temple, Dian posted a 3.69 ERA in 53.2 innings of work over two seasons, including a 2.33 ERA in 2013, which was second lowest on the team. He appeared in 28 games, making three starts while striking out 43 strikeouts.
Dian joins former Pitt pitchers Matt Wotherspoon, Joseph Harvey and Luke Curtis in the professional ranks, who were all selected in the MLB draft in June.

I've never seen the degree of fraud and corruption with Wall Street analysts and market makers! The worst ever!
Marketwatch is worse, Hulbert has put aapl down since they were in the 70's. MKT keeps negative news going all day on aapl.
Why don't they talk about pcle, amzn and others they go up up up - why is aapl so beat up?
what the hell are you people talking about? This message board is so cryptic.
Wall Street pape billionairs making trillions of dollars in of paper money where toiled paper has more value.
Total fraud...no one but the JEUbanks have the kind of money to short Apple to this magnitude. No more empathy from me towards Andy JEUWpig...they're all the same...at least 1 won't be doing his his #$%$ any morning after last Saturday.
TC doesn't care because AAPL is making tons of money.
A truly apathetic ceo

text: Italian dish that can be matched with softdrinks the Lasagna Lasagna or Lasagne is pasta baked in the oven and the traditional Italian food. Lasagna itself is literally containing meat lasagne. Lasagna itself can be filled with many other fields such as meat, vegetables, chicken, seafood and so on according to taste. Lasagna skin made from wheat flour dough after being given field, then baked until cooked. In the manufacture of lasagna, then in fact there are 4 sections which you should prepare. Sound 'complicated' and tiring but actually everything is very simple. Even Sintya which assist the chopper and chop seasoning recognize how easy it is to make foods that are expensive in this restaurant. The four parts are boiled pasta sheets, meat sauce, white sauce and grated cheese. For pasta, you can use instant pasta without boiling or later must be boiled first. My advice, even if you use intant without boiled pasta sheets, fixed briefly boil until half soft or until al dente, because sometimes instant pasta is still hard though it was baked. By boiling briefly made pasta has become softer when lasagna. For the meat sauce I used for Lasagna - I was actually very tempted to make a vegetarian version of lasagna with whole wheat pasta are certainly more healthy, but it seems in the next project I will just make happen - I use minced beef. If you have a chopper or a meat grinder or food processor or blender can chop up the meat well then my advice buy unusual cuts of meat and minced own in-house to produce minced meat with better quality. Sometimes we do not know the quality of the meat as if mixed together in a pile of minced meat sold in supermarkets, unless of course you see with their own eyes when the merchant meggiling the meat. I chose the top side meat lean and grind with a chopper Phillips, within 2 minutes of fresh minced meat was prepared.
