Product Description
For the first time ever, Universal opens its vaults to bring you 6 classic films from the most decadent era in motion picture history: Pre-Code Hollywood. In 1934, Hollywood was turned upside down by the enforcement of a strict "Production Code" that would change the way movies were made for the next 34 years. During the "pre-Code" period (1929 to mid-1934), censorship barely existed in Hollywood and filmmakers had free reign to make the movies they wanted and the public demanded. No subject was taboo including adultery, murder, or sex. Starring screen legends Cary Grant, Fredric March, Claudette Colbert, Tallulah Bankhead, Randolph Scott, and Sylvia Sidney, the Pre-Code Hollywood Collection forever captures one of the most unique periods in cinema history. The Cheat A compulsive gambler (Tallulah Bankhead) will do anything to pay off her debt - including turning to a wealthy businessman behind her husband's back. Merrily We Go to Hell An abusive alcoholic (Fredric March) reunites with a woman from his past and drives his wife (Sylvia Sidney) to drastic measures. Hot Saturday Scandal erupts after a young woman (Nancy Carroll) innocently spends the night with a notorious playboy (Cary Grant) and neglects to tell her fiancé (Randolph Scott). Torch Singer After giving up her illegitimate child for adoption, a notorious nightclub singer (Claudette Colbert) attempts to find her daughter through a children's radio show. Murder at the Vanities While sexy musical revue "The Vanities" captivates an audience on its opening night, a murder investigation takes place backstage. Search for Beauty Olympic swimming champions (Buster Crabbe and Ida Lupino) are tricked into endorsing a racy magazine - and much worse.

"Search for Beauty", released in 1934, is a terrible film. The pre-code elements are some nudity and a screenplay based on exploitation using sex as the bait. This would be of interest if the context in which they were presented had any merit but this must be one of the worst films ever. The garrulous screenplay concerns the sex-ploitation of athletic specimens, fronts for the get rich schemes of a trio of ex-cons. A teenage Ida Lupino, looking like a kewpie doll, and Buster Crabbe, an Olympic swimmer, star as the dupes, first via a health magazine and subsequently a health farm. The screenplay is dreadful, the production values ordinary, the editing poor and the cynicism behind the plot mind blowing. The film promoted a real life "Search for Beauty" and Ann Sheridan, who made her debut in this film and can be glimpsed as the winner from Texas, confirmed later in interviews that the whole thing was as appalling as it seems on the screen.
"Merrily We Go To Hell", released in 1932, is a marital drama whereby alcoholic writer Fredric March marries heiress Sylvia Sidney. When she is unable to reform him, she joins him in his extra curricular activities until she finds she is pregnant. It is a weak film with too much exposition. While the stars do a good job, the director, Dorothy Arzner, tries for unsubtle camera tricks which are corny. Sidney was a powerful emotional actress but the material undermines her good performance.
Tallulah Bankhead, a stage star probably most famous for her colourful personal life, stars in the earliest film in the set, a melodrama released in 1931 called "The Cheat". The film has a hoary and predictable plot whereby Bankhead, as a spoilt and careless wife incurs gambling debts, imbezzles the milk fund then shoots Irving Pichel when he tries "to have his way with her", with a kinky twist. The film is stagebound as directed by George Abbott and Bankhead poses and wrings her hands as for the stage. The pre-code aspect of the film is the oriental mischief that Pichel creates. This probably makes the film more interesting today than it was in 1931, particularly as it was a remake of an earlier silent film. Of all the films, this is the one which is the most old fashioned in plot, acting and direction.
"Murder at the Vanities", released in 1934, is a dumb backstage whodunnit set around the famous shows of Earl Carroll, a rival to producers Ziegfield and George White of musical reviews on Broadway. The film is boring with a dull plot and the notable absence of the zing of the equivalent Warner Brother's offerings. Mitchell Leisen, an ex costume designer, directed the film so not surprisingly, the art direction is excellent. The pre-code aspects relate in particular to the near nude costuming in the musical numbers, which include a bizarre song about the use of marijuana. Elsewhere, there are a few pleasant songs including "Cocktails for Two" but Kitty Carlisle and Frederick Brisson are not dynamic performers although he tries hard, grinning at every opportunity but coming over as pure ham.
A star whose work is rarely seen is the delightful Nancy Carroll, a pert girl who bridged the coming of sound but whose career was thrown away when Paramount consistently handed her crummy roles and did not renew her contract in 1933, reportedly due to her temperament for complaining about the poor parts. "Hot Saturday", a 1932 release, is ample proof that a major talent was trashed. The film is the beguiling tale of a small town girl who loses her job and reputation for supposedly staying too long alone at the home of playboy Cary Grant. The film is beautifully directed by William Seiter and all the actors give good performances particularly Jane Darwell, cast unusually as a harridan wife. The pre-code aspects of the script are the implications of the behaviour of "wild youth" and pre-marital sex. It is a neat film. By the way, that's Nancy Carroll on the cover of the box in a provocative scene with Randolph Scott.
In 1933, Paramount starred the enchanting Claudette Colbert in "Torch Singer". Colbert was steadily moving to the top of the heap at this time and the film is a stunning showcase. She plays an unwed mother who becomes a notorious night club singer after giving up her child. By accident, she also becomes "Aunt Jenny", a radio personality hosting a maudlin children's program and thereby finds her child and the father for a happy ending. If the plot sounds improbable, that does not account for the breadth and depth of Colbert's performance. She runs the gamut from despair to happiness and never once strikes a false note. There is some brittle humour too. The supporting cast are outstanding, performers such as Charles Grapewin as the radio sponsor with a wonderful scene when he tells off his wife, Ricardo Cortez as the nightclub promoter and David Manners as the boyfriend who left her pregnant. Also Colbert is superbly dressed by Travis Banton, her favourite designer and what a figure she had. Wow! If this is not enough, then you will be blown away by Colbert's singing. Using her own mezzo and her superior acting abilities, she sells all the songs magnificently. This is a quality film in every way.
The prints of the films are very good, in the case of "Hot Saturday", like new. The only extras are a short documentary about the introduction of the code and a small pocket copy of the code itself. The documentary consists of a lot of talk from regular contributors to commentaries on classic films and a few tantalising glimpses from some of the films. Naturally, the dissertation looks at the Paramount legacy and focuses on De Mille's "Sign of the Cross" which particularly offended the Catholics due to its religious subject. The documentary is concise but pales compared to the equivalent documentary on The Forbidden Hollywood Volume 2 Collection.
The release of these films is welcome to enthusiasts primarily because of their rarity. This does not mean, however, that they are good.
The Cheat (1931, 74 min.) directed by George Abbott
(Actually a Paramount production)
A compulsive gambler (Tallulah Bankhead) will do anything to pay off her debt - including turning to a wealthy businessman behind her husband's back.
Merrily We Go to Hell directed by Dorothy Arzner (1932, 78 min.)
(Actually a Paramount production)
An abusive alcoholic (Fredric March) reunites with a woman from his past and drives his wife (Sylvia Sidney) to drastic measures. Look for Cary
Grant in a very minor role.
Hot Saturday (1932, 73 min.) directed by William Seitner
(Paramount again)
Scandal erupts after a young woman (Nancy Carroll) innocently spends the night with a notorious playboy (Cary Grant) and neglects to tell her fiance (Randolph Scott).
Torch Singer (1933, 71 min.) directed by Alexander Hall and George Somnes
(Paramount again)
After giving up her illegitimate child for adoption, a notorious nightclub singer (Claudette Colbert) attempts to find her daughter through a children's radio show. The father is played by David Manners, who also shows up in several of the Universal horror films of the early 30's. Strong support comes from Ricardo Cortez.
Murder at the Vanities directed by Mitchell Leisen(1934, 89 min.)
While musical revue "The Vanities" captivates an audience on its opening night, a murder investigation takes place backstage. Victor McLaglin plays the policeman trying to solve the murder, which actually isn't that interesting. What is interesting are the bizarre musical numbers in "The Vanities" including an ode to mar ij uana.
Search for Beauty (1934, 78 min.) directed by Erle Kenton
Olympic swimming champions (Buster Crabbe and Ida Lupino) are tricked into endorsing a racy magazine - and much worse. Robert Armstrong and veteran character actor James Gleason play the tricksters.
Forbidden Film: The Production Code Era (Disc 1)
Includes Reproduction of the Original "Production Code" Document
Universal did actually make some interesting precodes of their own. I watched one just last week - "Night World" with Boris Karloff as the owner of a nightclub and Mae Clark as a chorus girl. Maybe Universal will put out another volume of precodes and include some of their own works next time. In the meantime, I can heartily recommend this set.

A bill authored by Republican Doug LaMalfa and Democrat John Garamendi would fund a feasibility study and, depending on the results, authorize construction of a new reservoir. LaMalfa says the lake would be created by flooding Sites Valley west of Maxwell.
"It's surrounded on pretty much all sides by hills and small mountains. It has a couple of passes there. You would put a dam in one main pass to block water from exiting and a couple little saddle dams where there are some humps."
About a dozen people live in the valley. They are divided over the project. Some like Jackie Kerhoulas have been hearing about it for decades.
"If we'd use it for what we say we're going to use it for, fine," Kerhoulas says. "But they'll send it down to Los Angeles so they can each have a swimming pool in their backyard and fill it every day if they want to."
Early estimates for the project are a cost of three-to-four billion dollars and a construction time of five years to complete.
About a dozen people would be displaced by the project.
Garamendi says if the project is found to be feasible, the bill would authorize construction of a reservoir that would hold nearly two million acre feet of water.
The Garamendi hopes the bill will be voted on sometime this fall.
"That will give the kind of flexibility for agricultural purposes, for water in the river," Garamendi says. "And it also allows the Shasta and Oroville and Folsom reservoirs to be re-operated so that you're actually creating more water capacity, storage capacity in those reservoirs."

"Hey Noah?" Kurt said, staring up at his boyfriend. The two were lying on the bed in Kurt's room in the basement, starting to slowly fall asleep after the most amazing sex either of them had ever had. Both remained underneath the blankets, Puck underneath Kurt's body. The two of them both wore pajama pants-Kurt's plain blue and Noah's red and black flannel-and a tee shirt...y'know, but in case anyone in the Hummel-Hudson household came downstairs. It was no secret (to anyone) that the two were together but no one knew that the two were fucking. (Kurt had acquired a few things to make sure that happened.)
Puck's eyes opened up and he looked down at Kurt. The slight smile and nod said the 'Yeah?' that he would've said. Kurt almost forgot what he was going to say; every time he saw that smile of Noah's his mind just went blank."
Thank you," he said simply. Confused, Puck tired to understand what the smaller boy meant."For?..." he pondered."
Everything. When Blaine cheated on me you were there. When half the football team threw me in the dumpster, you were there. Hell, you were even there, standing up for me when I was called "World's Biggest Fag." You've been there when I needed someone to talk to and didn't push me when I told you how I felt...and I appreciate it so much." A smile formed on Noah's face. He sat up on the bed and pulled Kurt into his lap."
Then I guess a thank you is in line for you, too. You...god, you've done so much for me. You helped me discover who I actually am. If it weren't for your help I'd be one confused motherfucker. 'Cuz I'm sure all hell not straight. I'm not exactly sure WHAT I am..I think I'm like, bi? Maybe? Whatever..I'm yours." Puck smiled and leaned down to place a kiss on Kurt's forehead but Kurt lifted his head and it ended up and his lips."
I love you..a lot," Noah admitted. "And you know I seriously suck with words so...," he laughed. "Yeah." (Ignoring all the rambling Noah did,) "I love you, too, Noah," Kurt laughed.
Love it? Hate it? WHAT?! TELL ME!

Reinventing a Historic Space in Hong KongBreaking News
Given the speed with which Hong Kong's colonial buildings have been torn down, it's fortunate that the old British marine police headquarters survived at all. The 19th-century white-stucco structure had been neglected for more than a decade. Most visitors to the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui area probably did not notice its elegant curving staircase entrance, set back from the neon and noise of Salisbury Road. Late last year the complex, known as 1881 Heritage (1881heritage.com), began reopening in stages, first with a few luxury shops. The main building, Hullett House (hulletthouse.com) now has a number of restaurants, a bar and a boutique hotel that opened last month. Perhaps most impressively, the renovation has been done with care....

Batoto Yetu - Portugal
Batoto Yetu is Cultural and Youth Association with focus on african music and dance. Batoto Yetu Portugal target group is the youth, children and adults with ties to the African culture. Its philosophy rests on the belief that, regardless of people's socioeconomic conditions, the recognition and appreciation of their cultural roots is fundamental for their fostering their self-esteem, sense of belonging and social inclusion. Since its founding in 1996, Batoto Yetu have helped to socially include over 1500 young people (including musicians and dancers) through the arts in its workshops and various activities. Throughout this time period, over 350 performances have taken place in both national and international stages including the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Angola, Cape Verde, Senegal and several performances on television shows. In our artistic performances they use traditional african dances mainly from Angola, Congo, Senegal, Cabo Verde, South Africa, Guiné Conacry. The majority of their elements are portuguese with cabo verde and angola origins. Batoto Yetu was founded with the support of Oeiras City Council and the Luso-American Development Foundation and is recognized today by the High Commision for Immigration, and the Portuguese institute for sports and youth. Currently, Batoto Yetu Portugal is carrying out several social intervention and artistic projects, and is always seeking new opportunities that will enable it to reinforce its work especially in its main intervention areas (social inclusion through arts and culture, promotion of interculturalism, and immigrant entrepreneurship). In addition to the rigour and beauty of artistic performances, we value the social and educational component namely through improving the school performance and training of each member as well as their relationship with the group.

DECHOVÝ ORCHESTR MLADÝCH KRNOV - The Youth Wind Orchestra of the music school in Krnov Czech Republic
The Youth Wind Orchestra of the music school in Krnov Czech Republic was founded in 1961 by Mr. Karel Dospiva, who worked with the orchestra until 2010.
High demands of conductor and regular hard training led the orchestra among the best ensembles of this type in the Czech Republic and abroad. This is evidenced by consecutive victory in the national competitions of the "Youth Wind Orchestra of the Music Schools" from 1971 until 1990 and many victories in abroad competitions (e.g. absolute winner of both concert and marching competition in Neerpelt in Belgium in 1983, absolute winner of concert competition in Rostock in Germany in 1990, etc.). The last big success of the orchestra was the international competition of big wind orchestras in Ostrava Czech Republic in June 2015 where orchestra won in its category two great awards – the "golden zone with honor" which is the highest rating category and the prize for "the best interpretation of compulsory composition".
During its existence orchestra participated in many big festivals and competitions in Czech Republic (Kmochův Kolín, FEDO Štětí, FIJO Cheb, international competitions of wind orchestras in Brno, Prague, Ostrava, etc.) and many times represented on abroad festivals and competitions (United Kingdom, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, Austria, Croatia, Slovakia). The biggest event for the orchestra was the concert tour in the USA in April 2008. Since 2010 is the artistic director and chief conductor of the orchestra Mr. Luděk Tlach, who is a former member of the orchestra and a current teacher of the Music School in Krnov. The second conductor is Jan Procházka. Nowadays orchestra has 62 players and still holds high artistic quality.
Since 1987 orchestra cooperates with the majorettes group "Majorettes Kynšperk nad Ohří Czech Republic". Orchestra and majorettes together participated in many festivals and competition in the Czech Republic and abroad. The most valuable joint success is a performance in the famous Royal Albert Hall in London in 1991.
Majorettes Kynšperk nad Ohří
DYCHOVÝ ORCHeSTR A MAŽORETKY NOVÁ DUBNICA - Slovensko - Brass band orchestra and majorettes Nová Dubnica
The brass band orchestra and majorettes are organized as a civil association. It is not a professional music and dance group. They participate on different social events, concerts and international festivals. Its repertoire is a variety of different types of music from national and international composers. E.g. marching compositions, folk compositions, current modern and Latin-American rhythms.
The brass band orchestra was established in 1975. Its founder, the former director of the Art School Štefan Baláž, brought up his follower, a conductor Vratislav Hruboš from the members of the orchestra. The post of the conductor was also held by Štefan Vlk, Michal Ševčík, as well as Leoš Staněk, who became later an art leader of the orchestra. The group of majorettes was founded in 1977. Since then the brass band orchestra and majorettes are inseparable part. During their existence they have achieved a lot of success at home and abroad, as well. Among the most important festivals belong: Podtatranský festival, Pádivého Trenčín, FIJO Cheb, Kmochův Kolín, San Remo festival of flowers, Verona festival and others. The brass band orchestra gave concerts also in many European countries like Poland, Hungary, Germany, Italy and France. At the present, the members of the group are students from the primary schools, high schools and universities as well as the employed people who have been within this group since their childhood. The brass band orchestra and majorettes heve been organized as a civil association since 2002 with the chairman Pavol Šveda. The creative leader is Antonín Maděra. The choreography of majorettes is lead by Zuzana Balážová and Zuzana Plšková.
SDRUŽENÍ DECHOVÉHO ORCHESTRU MLADÝCH ZLÍN - Youth Brass Band Orchestra Zlin Associatio
Youth Brass Band Orchestra Zlin Association (YBBOZA = SDOM Zlin) Youth Orchestra Brass Band Orchestra was found in 1946 in the city of Zlin, under the Sokol sports organization, by its longtime conductor and artistic director Mr. Karel Travnicek. Despite the difficult beginnings, the orchestra had some high level achievements over many years and it occupied first places in its category during national competitions. The young brass music naturally follows and continues as the Youth Brass Band Orchestra Zlin Association (Zlin SDOM), since in 1997. Basis orchestra is made out of young musicians, whom are internally trained and educated, starting at the age of 9 and are mainly from the city of Zlin and its vicinity. Since its inception (in 1946) till present the wind orchestra has raised more than 2,000 young musicians , many of which had become outstanding musical professional or they are involved in educating of upcoming generations of young music followers. The current conductor and artistic director of the orchestra became Mr. Libor Mikl, with his colleagues Petr and Tomas Cernoch. Integral parts of the orchestra are 3 groups of majorettes and twirler aged 5 to 25 years and a dance group led by sisters Alice and Anna Krcmar. SDOM Zlín regularly presents its concerts and marching performances not only in Czech Republic but also abroad. For the outstanding artistic quality is the assembly regularly invited and screened at international competitions and performances, featured in Norway, Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Russia, etc., where this band has won several first prizes and top awards. Orchestra's repertoire is very rich also. In addition to the classic Czech brass and Czech folk songs the classical tunes are included. Let's not forget the world of musicals and film world performances, compositions for large wind orchestras and the orchestral and rock songs. Besides the concerts and marching performances, the orchestra offers cultural program for variety of social, sporting and other events.
The Majorette's Group was formed sometime around 1997, basically just as a whim of the conductor of the Youth Brass Orchestra in Zlin. Currently, the group is divided into six smaller groups – three groups of majorettes aging from 4 to 22 years old, a dance group with a focus on standard and Latin dances, twirling group specializing in particular shows a group of competitive cheerleaders and street dancers, which deals with different styles of dance and cheerleading. In the repertoire, we do not have marches only, but the show also includes dance music, solo and duos props, swing tunes, choreographed with dancing musicians or even the cancan. During our performances, you can enjoy not only a great dancing, choreography, nonstandard, classical majorette's stage pieces, but also new moves from the world of twirling, the plethora of costumes and enjoyment. For nearly 15 years, we accompany our musicians around the world and around our country, where we refine the skills and capitalize on competitions, too. We are members of the Majorettes Association. As a group we were placed third festival site in Štětí a German Rödemis we in 2007, together with a brass band occupied the Golden Zone. Since 2006, our group regularly occupies the top positions in competitions, focused primarily on the combination of sticks and various props.
MÓRI IFJÚSÁGI FÚVÓSZENEKAR - Maďarsko
Our Band was formed in 1981. Our goal is to maintain, support and carry on German minority music culture in which the local German Selfgoverning Body helped us a lot.
In the beginning the band worked within the frameworks of the music school and from 1991 as an association with national and international success. It is a great pleasure to us that the Pászti Miklós Music School provides the new generation of high qualified musicians. Meanwhile, the starting number of 15-20 increased to 80-100 although there were several who left the group because of their studies, marriage or moving to another town. Despite that the standard is still the same proved by the recent success in the country and abroad. Several musicians chose music as a profession, including national and international winners of competitions. Early on apperances were organized in Mór with the help of local associations and continued in neighbouring villages and factories with more and more supporters. The first invitations to other countries followed and our international relationships formed. The time arrived for qualification which we renew every 5 years. 'The last such was in November 2001. The band achieved international gold in the category of show and concert band and prominent international gold in the category of German minority music. In the category of march and lawn show the band was qualified with gold for three times in Italy.
Our art leader and conductor is Sándor Acsai from the very beginnings. The repertoire consists of some hundred compositions including german, classic and modern works as well. By now 1 LP, 3CDs and 3 cassettes apperared and these got to 54 countries around the world though different sponsors, partners and diplomatic channels. There have been 28 apperances abroad, we visited Germany, Italy, Austria, Chech Republic Poland and Romania more than once and once Finnland, Estonia, Izrael and Croatia.
We have reached great success in Szolnok on March 24th 2001. We won the contest named "With Culture at the Gates of the West" National Festival organized by the Ministry of National Cultural Heritage in the wind band category. It was a great honour to us that we had the chance to represent Hungary at the first European Union Wind Band Festival in Cheb, Chech Republic between 1-4th July, 2004, where we played with the bands from the 25 member states and Russia. Since 1996 an international wind band festival is organized every two years within the programme of the town� Wine Days.
We have invi-ted 48 foreign bands.
Many in-land and fore-ign honours and awards show our achievements.
Our main sponsors are the Self Goverment of Mór and the Commitee of the Hungarian Parliament for Human Rights, Religion and Minorities. We would like to thank hereby the great help provided by the Community Centre, especially Ferenc Erdei and Margit Dankovics. In 1996 the Band got the Pro Urbe Award from the town of Mór and in 2004 conductor Sándor Acsai also received this honour. The pictures were taken and the past and present event in the life of the band.

The FIJO CHEB festival is a non -
competetive show of youth wind orchestras with accopanying programmes of dance
groups. Since its founding it has become a festival people search for in the
most western part of the Czech Republic. Since 1970 the town of Cheb becomes,
biannually, the place of meeting young music bands. The orchestras of young
musicians present their music maturity in their public concerts. The reward for

10 reviews | 4.4 out of 5
Although a bit pricey, this headlight delivers a bright, white beam that lights up the road very well. There is a high-beam/low-beam option, a green LED to alert you when it is on, and rubbery strips are provided to adapt the mountings for different sized handlebars.
A great little headlight.
I was very impressed with the brightness of this headlight! Use it while biking to and from work at night, also for nighttime leisure rides. Must have item for anyone biking at night.
Like all the other reviewers I found the light acceptably bright and in a walking test I found out on a short walk up to a store, the M-Wave 8-LED Headlight was a lot brighter that my older maglight, however as the old say "everything is trade for a trade" and the trade off here is that in a half and hour walk on high beam I had a new set of three AAA batteries go on to the red. I think keeping it on the second setting will help extend the battery life a little longer. The low beam seems to also to good lighting job on what little that I use it on that setting. One of the things to get is some rechargeable batteries if you are going to do a lot of night riding. There other sets out there but planned to spent some serous money for them. What could make this product outstanding is to have the manufacture make auxiliary battery pack or simply design a plug in the light case and then you can wire up to your favorite battery supply. One of the other things I would like to see is to make a bracket that you can take off the bike and use as a handheld flashlight with a simple wrist strap. Short of needing a different source of batteries for a small light source it will light the side of a house that close by. And please don't ever aim at someone eyes its that bright.
I was really excited about this light and it is indeed very, very bright. However, the lamp portion would not stay connected to the battery chamber. I do not know if I just had a damaged one or if this is problematic of the product in general.
Light gives off serious output. Don't understand the blinking green light when set to lower output (seems it should blink on high). Would have given it 5 stars if it had flashing mode (it is a bike light). Haven't had it long enough to rate battery life.
It works great . I will be buying more
I don't get into long on words, just to the point. It's a great light and has a nice strong beam which is what I look for in a light. Haven't used it much yet so don't know how long the batteries will last.
Provides truly excellent wide-field lighting for biking distance (e.g. about 15-20ft). As some have already said, the 3xAAA batteries don't last long on "High". Would have been much better using 3xAA batteries even with larger size (which might have helped with plastic fragility issues below.) It was, however, VERY easy to use.
Would have received 5 stars EXCEPT... After just weeks of use, every time I changed the batteries I had to realign the battery contacts to maintain electrical contact and enough tension to retain the batteries in the battery holding assembly. Not a super big problem, BUT...
One plastic side case latch "tab" broke off within months. The design for that element does seem a bit thinner than I'd like for this type of device. I had to TAPE (transparent tape), rubber-band, or cable-tie the back and front case sections together each time I changed batteries (But if use rubber band or cable-tie, it covers part of lens and obscures light a bit).
It initially was very easy to clamp/remove from handlebar, BUT...
The lower plastic mounting assembly had problems soon after above broken latch tab. It started with one push-in release button intermittently sticking in the "locked" position, requiring multiple GENTLE manipulations of assembly to remove the light from the handlebar. Ultimately unable to securely clamp lamp to handlebar mount...internal mount parts and spring problem.
I was impressed with how this light works and how easy it was to install. It was reasonably priced, too.
This item arrived on time in excellent condition, and works great, I love it. Desoto, Tx.

I was attending a conference at the Camino Real, but I thought the accommodation there was too pricey, so booked a room here instead. It's fantastic value for money-large rooms with a small kitchen, a living area, desk, bathroom, free wi fi. Location was excellent for the conference, literally next door. Very comfortable beds, great service, and someone at reception 24 hours a day which made me feel very secure. They were also very helpful on my last day when I had a night flight home by allowing me to wash and change in the evening even after I had checked out that morning.

Tom Murphy is a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. A graduate of Louisiana Tech University, he is a member of the Football Writers Association of America, and voter for the Heisman Trophy and AP Top 25 football poll.
Reports: Miles offered UA job
NWA Media/ANDY SHUPE Louisiana State coach Les Miles gestures to his coaches Friday, Nov. 23, 2012, during the second quarter of play against Arkansas at Razorback Stadium.
FAYETTEVILLE Arkansas' search for its next head football coach took a strange turn Tuesday.
The Web site sportsbybrooks.com reported Tuesday afternoon via Twitter that Arkansas officials were engaged in contract talks with representatives of LSU Coach Les Miles. The post also said that a five-year, $27.5 million offer was on the table.
A source familiar with the Arkansas search said no offer existed between Arkansas and Miles, but late Tuesday evening the Times-Picayune of New Orleans and WWLTV.com in New Orleans both reported that Arkansas had made Miles a substantial offer to become the Razorbacks' next coach. Miles' agent, George Bass of Dallas, denied the original report Tuesday afternoon. "There's nothing like that going on," Bass told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
The Times-Picayune, on its We b si t e NOLA.com, cited an anonymous source who said LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva was meeting with Miles' agent and "the discussion is ongoing."
The reported offer, which equals $5.5 million a year, would surpass that of Alabama's Nick Saban, who tops all college football coaches with an annual salary of $5.476 million this season, based on a USA Today salary survey released last week.
Miles, 59, whose eightyear record at LSU is 85-20, led the Tigers to the 2007 BCS national championship and lost last year's national title game 21-0 to Alabama. LSU has won two SEC titles during Miles' tenure.
The Tigers defeated the Razorbacks 20-13 last Friday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium to cap Arkansas' 4-8 season.
Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long notified interim Coach John L. Smith the following day that he would be reassigned within the department for the rest of his 10-month contract.
LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette declined to comment Tuesday afternoon when contacted by NOLA.com, other than to say Miles had been informed of the Twitter post while he was on the road recruiting.
"We've seen the tweet by Sports by Brooks, and we're not going to comment on rumors or bits of information," Bonnette told NOLA.com. "It has been brought to Les' attention, and he didn't have anything to say."
Miles, who ranks second on LSU's all-time victories chart, is receiving $3.751 million per year, plus incentives, and his salary is the fifth-highest in the country, according to the USA Today survey.
Long told Arkansas football players Sunday he intended to make a hire within two weeks. Arkansas assistant coaches have continued to recruit and conduct inhome visits this week.

UConn athletic director Ward Manuel says the school is looking for a sponsor to step forward and secure the naming rights for its planned basketball training center and has no plans to name the building after newly retired basketball coach Jim Calhoun.
"There's not been one point in the conversation about naming the building for Jim, because we've always, since I got here, been talking about the naming opportunity to raise money," said Manuel, who addressed the speculation Monday after Calhoun spoke at a chamber of commerce breakfast in Cromwell.
The facility, which is expected to cost more than $40 million, is being funded entirely by private donations.
It would be built adjacent to Gampel Pavilion on the site where the former football stadium was razed earlier this year. Plans call for separate practice courts for the men's and women's basketball teams, locker rooms, weight rooms, classrooms, a sports medicine center and offices for the basketball staff.
About $22 million of the $32 million needed to break ground on the center has been raised, the school said.
"We're more than halfway toward the total and about 75 percent to what we need to start construction," Manuel said.
Calhoun, 70, retired as coach last month after 26 seasons at UConn, three national championships and induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. He is raising money for the center as part of his new job as a special assistant to Manuel.
He said he will be visiting NBA training camps this fall and plans to ask former UConn players for their help with the center. "Some of the kids have expressed some interest, and those who haven't are going to become more interested," Calhoun said.
Calhoun said he's talked to planners about including a locker room just for basketball alumni, who will be able to use the facility.
Earlier this summer, the school announced that Webster Bank had made a significant donation to the building, but would not release the details. Last December, the school announced that a Woodbridge couple, Peter J. and Pamela H. Werth donated $4.5 million for the building, the largest single private gift ever to the Division of Athletics.

Open source software leader advances next-generation integration solution with big data profiling for Hadoop, support of major NoSQL databases and increased usability features
Maidenhead, UK - 5 November 2012 - Talend, a global open source software leader, today announced the availability of version 5.2 of its next-generation integration platform, the only offering that provides a unified environment for managing the entire lifecycle across data, application and process integration requirements. With version 5.2, Talend extends the industry's most flexible, scalable and adaptive integration platform with the introduction of key new capabilities, including big data profiling for Hadoop, support for widely-used and deployed NoSQL databases, and a set of improvements that increases product usability and performance across the entire platform.
Big Data Profiling
In its mission to democratise big data, Talend has focused extensively on solutions that make deploying and managing Apache Hadoop and related technologies simple, without requiring specific expertise in these areas. With version 5.2, Talend has taken its big data strategy a step further by adding big data profiling for Hadoop, providing companies with the ability to discover and understand data in Hadoop clusters. Among the typical problems associated with data quality are duplication, incompleteness and inconsistency, which create inefficiencies in data processing. Talend Platform for Big Data includes new capabilities for visibility into big data in all its forms and locations. These include the ability to analyse data in Hive databases on Hadoop "in place" without extraction and the ability to perform data hygiene tasks, including data cleansing, enrichment, matching and de-duplication directly inside the Hadoop cluster through Hadoop code generation.
Simplified NoSQL Integration with Hadoop
Talend 5.2 adds support for NoSQL databases in its integration solutions, Talend Platform for Big Data and Talend Open Studio for Big Data, with an initial set of connectors for Cassandra, HBase and MongoDB. Built on Talend's award-winning open source integration technology, Talend Open Studio for Big Data is a powerful and versatile open source solution for big data integration that natively supports Apache Hadoop, including connectors for Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), HCatalog, Hive, Oozie, Pig and Sqoop - in addition to the more than 450 connectors included natively in the product. As NoSQL has become the go-to technology for certain data architectures, the integration of these platforms into Talend's big data solution enables customers to use these new connectors to migrate and synchronise data between NoSQL databases and all other data stores and systems.
"Talend version 5.2 delivers on our vision of simplifying the development, integration and management of big data so that businesses can focus on using that data to make faster and more informed decisions," said Fabrice Bonan, co-founder and chief technical officer, Talend. "We provide the most powerful and versatile open source, big data solution to help organisations load, extract and improve disparate data while leveraging the massively parallel processing power of big data technologies including Apache Hadoop and leading NoSQL databases."
Latest Release of Talend's Integration Products
In addition to Talend's big data enhancements, Talend introduces version 5.2 of its flagship data integration products that leverage the Talend Unified Platform. New features focus on product usability, user productivity improvements and performance to provide a more robust and easier to use solution.
Talend Enterprise Data Integration - In v5.2, parallel execution of jobs can now leverage multi-core hardware. This new version also supports continuous integration between development, test and production environments and is integrated with open source build manager Maven.
Talend Enterprise Data Quality - Version 5.2 includes expanded address validation algorithms, precise e-mail validity detection, and native fraud detection capabilities. A new set of components allows customers to use Melissa Data to validate addresses.
Talend Enterprise MDM - Support for a wider range of enterprise architectures in v5.2 lowers the barrier to MDM adoption; organisations can now use their Oracle, MySQL, Derby or H2 databases as the underlying MDM data store.
Talend Enterprise ESB - In this version, Continuous Integration between development, test and production environments is now available. Version control system Nexus is also supported for versioning and deployment.
Talend Enterprise BPM - Talend v5.2 presents a fully integrated BPM engine into the Talend Runtime. Talend users only need to manage a single container, which can run data jobs, web services, REST applications and now BPM processes. With fewer moving parts in system environments and the flexibility to run multiple instances of different application types within the same container, the work of the IT administrator is significantly reduced in terms of management and maintenance of the software.
Version 5.2 of Talend Open Studio for Data Integration, Talend Open Studio for Data Quality, Talend Open Studio for MDM, Talend Open Studio for ESB and Talend Open Studio for Big Data are available for immediate download from Talend's web site www.talend.com/. Version 5.2 of the commercial subscription products, available before the end of 2012, will be provided to all existing Talend customers as part of their subscription agreement and can be procured through the usual Talend representatives or partners.
