|Moral :
|At the end of Kirk's memorial service, Spock calls the crew to attention. Everybody stands, but their arms are all over the place - some behind their backs, some in front, some at the sides. I know Starfleet don't go in for all this military drill stuff in a big way, but really I would have thought they would make a better showing for this occasion.
|Great Moment :
|Kirk's message to Spock and McCoy.
|Body Count :
|The entire crew of the USS Defiant.
|Factoid :
|The Tholian ship was later modified and used as the space cruiser Aurora.
This episode was nominated for an Emmy Award for best special effects.
In Japan, this episode is known as "Crisis of Captain Kirk Who Was Thrown into Different Dimensional Space."
In this episode Spock calls McCoy "bones", the only time he ever does so.
When the Defiant begins to fade out of existence the remainder of the officers beam back, but Kirk vanishes with the ship. Spock's analysis of the sensor readings indicate that the Defiant is fading in and out of our dimension, and he calculates the time when the ship will next appear in hopes that Kirk might be rescued at that time. It is also determined that the strange nature of this area of space affected the minds of the Defiant's crew, driving them to kill one another - and that the same thing is now happening to the Enterprise crew.
As the ship waits, a Tholian vessel approaches. Its captain claims that the Enterprise is in Tholian space and must leave. Informed of the missing Defiant the ship's commander agrees to allow the Enterprise to wait for another two hours until the ship reappears. However, when the time arrives there is no sign of the Defiant. Spock speculates that the entry of the Tholian ship into interphase space may have altered the timing - but the Tholian commander refuses to believe him, and fires on the Enterprise. Spock quickly disables the ship with a phaser strike and sets about recalculating Kirk's reappearance.
Another Tholian ship arrives, and together the two vessels begin to weave an intricate web of energy filaments around the Starship. When complete the web will trap the Enterprise, with no possible escape. As Spock and McCoy both begin to suffer the effects of interphase space Kirk finally reappears, and they are able to rescue him and escape the Tholians just in time.
The Tholians are an interesting species, one of the less Humanoid races we see in any incarnation of Trek. The idea of a major race which exists in such a completely different environment is a good one, enough to keep our interest even though the special effects of the time aren't really up to the job. Then we come to the Tholian web... which I'm in two minds about. On the one hand the it's always nice to see a novel weapons concept, but on the other, the way it is depicted in this episode the web is virtually useless as a weapon. It takes an age to encase a target - an hour plus. Given how easily the Enterprise dealt with the original ship, in the time it took to spin the web the Starship could easily have knocked off a whole fleet of them! And even an unarmed opponent could merely wait until the web was almost complete, then move to one side a few kilometres and make them start all over again.
Practically the only thing this weapon could be used against is a crippled ship unable to either move or fight - essentially the situation the Enterprise was in during this episode. And that must surely be a rather rare opportunity for the Tholians.

text: Unwilling to dig into the cold earth, some enterprising squirrels have been sneaking nuts into the engine of one man's Renault Modus. When mechanics removed the filter of James Cresswell's auto they found two pounds worth of nuts, which is 10 ounces more than what the manufacturer recommends. The mechanics mentioned that animals often like to climb into engines because they're generally warm and dry places. Personally, we think the little rodents just prefer slightly roasted nuts. Either way, the squirrels should stay stealthy as Mr. Cresswell has vowed to shoot them on sight. [Newsshopper]

|Paradigm Monitor 9 V.6 Loudspeaker Review
|Thursday, 05 August 2010
Page 1 of 2Paradigm has been making highly regarded loudspeakers in their state of the art factory in Ontario, Canada for the past 25 years. Their longevity is likely due to making quality products across multiple markets at reasonable prices. They make excellent speakers for budget audiophiles, home theater fiends, and for uncompromising two channel high end aficionados like myself.
I have heard various Paradigm set-ups in friend's houses and have always been impressed. Personally, I've used the amazing little Paradigm Atom mini monitor in various small spaces in my own house. After buying a 55 inch High Definition Vizio television, I knew it was time to upgrade the sound system as well. In my household, we typically watch about one or two movies a week, either on digital cable or DVD. We also watch tons of musical performances, which are often mixed in multi channel sound, so a 5.1 channel system is almost mandatory for listening.
For me, home theater is a secondary priority after my two channel, music only system. I have not invested an extreme amount of money, but I have a nice, respectable setup. A Cambridge Audio 540R home theater receiver is the center piece along with an Oppo DVD player, a Panasonic DVD recorder and player, and the aforementioned Vizio HD TV. Speakers include a PSB sub, a pair of Paradigm Atom monitors for the rear channel, a Paradigm Monitor series center channel speaker, and now, the very attractive Monitor 9 floor standers, V.6, finished in a Rosewood veneer, to match my floors. As the name indicates, the V.6 is the sixth incarnation of the speaker, with various improvements made along the way. I also have some high quality cables from Kimber, QED, NuForce, Audioquest, and a few generic ones thrown in as well.
The Monitor series is the middle of the extensive line, situated under the Studio series, with the Reference series being the flagship line. I have heard the Studio series floor standers and, in my opinion, they offer a superb value. The Studio 60 in particular, at around $2000, is one of the greatest bargains around. The Monitor 9 is the second largest floor stander in the Monitor series, out flanked only by the Monitor 11, which is slightly larger and offers more bass extension. The Monitor 9 is a four driver, two and a half way, ported design. The workmanship is wonderful and the overall finish is much better than the $999 price tag would make you believe.
Paradigm has made some significant improvements over previous generations of the Monitor Series. These include a modified phase coherent crossover, a new rear port, additional finishes, and a new magnetic grille, redesigned for minimum diffraction and for better fitting to front baffle via magnets. To its credit, Paradigm made some of these changes in response to dealer and customer feedback. The Monitor series has been very successful for Paradigm, hence five previous incarnations. I can honestly say I often wonder how Paradigm keeps the prices in check while devoting significant resources to research and development, and not setting up shop in Asia, as a multitude of others have. My enthusiasm wanes for companies that buy off the shelf drivers, throw them in a cabinet with a few tweaks, and then charge as much as a compact car. Paradigm is the antithesis of this approach.
Paradigm's drivers are all proprietary, which is a rarity these days. In fact, they boast, "many speaker companies do not have the resources to design and manufacture their own drive units, Paradigm purpose designs robust drivers for specific speakers." On their website, there is a factory tour which allows you to see all the processes involved in design and manufacturing. Quite impressively, they claim "we design and build drive units, crossover networks, electronics, amplifiers, plastics and enclosures ' and even our own tooling, production and testing equipment to ensure greater precision and superior quality control." Investing in the process has allowed Paradigm to continue to offer speakers at reasonable prices that really don't compromise on performance. I should also mention they spend quite a bit of time on crossover design, claiming they hand select components.
Setup / Listening:
Setup for the Monitor 9's was very straight forward. We generally sit around 12 to 15 feet away from the TV screen, so one speaker was placed about a foot in front of the TV, on either side, roughly 10 feet apart. With a few days of tweaking, they ended staying in the same position with a slight amount of toe in. The Magnetic grilles were left in place for two reasons. First, Paradigm recommends this as the grilles are designed for even dispersion. Secondly, the speakers were more attractive this way and blended in to the décor.
Spending a month watching movies, regular TV, DVD's, and listening to multi channel SACD and DVD-A's, along with the all music Palladia HD channel convinced me that the Monitor 9's were absolutely perfect for my set up. Dialogue was crystal clear and all other ambient sounds from movie soundtracks filled up the room effortlessly, with loads of detail, and solid imaging. One reason for this room filling big sound was the very high efficiency rating for the Monitor 9's. Unless you have a pricey, mega watt home theater receiver, you will be unsatisfied with speakers with average efficiency ratings. You will be straining to hear dialogue, and you will risk speaker damage as you continually slide the volume knob up. The Monitor 9's are rated at 94 db, which is at the higher end of the scale.

TE Virgil Green returns Monday
With all attention paid to Peyton Manning, replacement refs, fines, suspension of Joe Mays and latest D.J. Williams drama (he met with league Wednesday in New York regarding additional two to three game suspension for driving while ability impaired), we almost forgot about the return of Virgil Green.
The second-year tight end will be back at the team's Dove Valley headquarters Monday. Green is near the end of the four-game suspension he received for violating the league's performance-enhancement policy last season.
Green has been missed, particularly in the run game for he may be the team's best "blocking" tight end. Joel Dreessen is the top all-around tight end who can catch and block.

EVENT: Walk for Hope 2015
Join hundreds for a 5K Walk/Run on the beautiful wooded campus of Northwood University in Midland, Michigan. All funds raised are used in the Great Lakes Bay Region to host special events, trainings, and provide education in an effort to build awareness of mental health and suicide prevention, intervention and aftercare.
Our Walk for Hope is an opportunity to come together with others who believe in this cause. It is our hope that this event will de-stigmatize suicide and encourage those who are struggling with mental health or other life challenges to seek out help from those who can support their needs.
Every 12.8 minutes someone dies by suicide in the United States. In 2013 there were 41,149 people who died by suicide in the U.S.(CDC) Of those in 2012, 1,295 family and friends were from right here in Michigan. Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States (43.7 million or 18.6%) experiences mental ilness in a given year (NAMI). Less than one-third of adults and one-half of children with diagnosable mental health disorders receive mental health services in a given year. (SAMHSA)
Registration is free; however, for every $100 in donations you raise, your name will be entered in a drawing for major prizes if you choose to fundraise.

Drinks and Bites From The Lucky Rice Cocktail Feast
Last night, we exchanged chopsticks for tumblers and paid a visit to the Lucky Rice Cocktail Feast (subtitled "A Journey East") for the liquid diet portion of the festival's fourth annual run. The week-long celebration of Asian cuisines runs the gamut, from a hearty dumpling party and slurp-able ramen variations to yesterday's boozy spread of vaguely Asian-inspired drinks.
Once again, the feast was held at the elegant Bowery Hotel; with good weather on our side, the party quickly spilled onto the open rooftop.
Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto played host to the thirsty crowd, serving up a selection of savory small plates to accompany the evening's drinks. Over a dozen concoctions were up for grabs, courtesy of mixologists from Añejo Tequileria, B Flat, Barmini by José Andrés, Experimental Cocktail Club, Macao, The Bowery Hotel, Tribeca Canvas, and Whiskey Soda Lounge.
Though every vendor incorporated the evening's sponsor, Bombay Sapphire East, into at least one drink, there was no shortage of variety. Click through the slideshow to see the bites and cocktails we tasted.

Atlanta is a relatively young city that began in 1837 and grew when the railroad was built to run through, bringing industry to the city. Today, Atlanta has used its newness to maintain a progressive, modern feel. The city breeds a vibrant arts and nightlife scene, with fantastic culture, delicious dining, and an amazing academic world. There are over 30 colleges located in the city, including the prestigious Emory University and Georgia Tech. Atlanta is considered a thriving community for African-Americans as well, considering the country's first black mayor was elected here and many of the nation's best African American talents are still produced here.
There are several universities and colleges in the area, so it's essential to start looking for an apartment as early as possible. The apartment scramble usually begins around January, peaking in May, and winding down around August.
Finding an apartment can be hard, especially when there are so many choices. Adding a filter can help narrow your search. With our Quick Filters below, you can search by a price and amenities. After following one of these links, be sure to check out the advanced search filters and then sign up for an Email Alert so you can receive new listings that match your needs.
If you're looking for warm weather, then you're looking at the right place. Atlanta often hits 70 to 80 degrees, even in winter months. The humidity gets to some people, but as long as you have a working air conditioner, you can reap the benefits of the high temperatures. That includes a lot of outdoor activities and almost no potholes on the roads.
Atlanta is very large and widely spaced, meaning that having a car is pretty essential. This also means traffic can be a bit brutal compared to other cities. However, public transportation is certainly not a lost cause. Atlanta has MARTA, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, which offers various bus routes and rail stations throughout the city.
If you have a thing for sports-oriented entertainment, then you've found a home in Atlanta. Watch the Atlanta Braves hit a home run at Turner Field. See the Atlanta Falcons score a touchdown at Georgia Dome. You can even watch the Atlanta Hawks shoot at the Philips Arena. These are only three of the many teams in town.
One of the most culturally relevant attractions in the city is the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site. The site includes not only his birthplace, but also the church where he worked. For more history, head to the Atlanta History Center, which includes several museums and exhibits as part of a larger complex. For something a little more frivolous, but a lot of fun, the World of Coca-Cola lets you learn all about the history of the most popular soft drink in the world. The Atlanta Botanical Garden has a year round display but also hosts traveling botanical exhibits that are among the best in the world.
Bacchanalia is consistently in the running every time a "Best Of" Atlanta list comes out. Fine dining at it's most immaculate, the restaurants is as well known for it's world-class service and staff as it is for it's food. If you're looking for an exquisite lunch then Canoe is a great bet. The views of the Chattahoochee and the great menu selections keep locals and tourists coming back. Rathbun's serves great American food in a modern warehouse conversion. Fox Brothers Bar-B-Q is one of the best-reviewed BBQ joints in the city. If you're going to only try one thing, don't miss out on the award winning brisket.
The Wrecking Bar Brewpub is found in a renovated mansion, and features some of the best beer in the city. Even if you're not a beer aficionado, you should find yourself pleased by the cocktail menu. Another place for the beer lovers to hang out is the Porter Beer Bar, which always has a great rotating menu of new and exciting beers. The Beluga Martini Bar is a fantastic choice if you like great drinks and jazz music. This place attracts some of the most stylish in Atlanta, and is not to be missed. If you're looking for an upscale nightclub rather than a plain old bar, the Havana Club on Piedmont is a good place to start.
The Alliance Theatre is recognized as one of the best in the country. Several shows that ultimately went on to make a splash on Broadway have in fact premiered at this Tony award-winning theatre. In addition, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra is located on Peachtree Street, and is the premier musical organization in the city. With a 70 year history, they are always on the leading edge of culture in Atlanta.Atlanta is also a hotbed of museums, being host to some of the best in the country. The Atlanta History Center showcases local history, and also pays a great deal of attention to the Civil War. The Fernbank Museum of Natural History is a massive science museum, and has an affiliated Science Center. The Georgia Capitol Museum and historic Governor's Mansion are also worth visiting for a taste of local history.
For the biggest festival in the spring, you need to visit the Dogwood Festival. This festival features the work of hundreds of local artists and artisans and allows shoppers the chance to just browse, or to acquire a truly one of a kind treasure. In January, there is a Martin Luther King March & Rally that celebrates the life and accomplishments of the great activist. The Atlanta Film Festival takes place in April. Many Oscar hopefuls submit to the festival, as it is an Academy Awards qualifier. Atlanta is also home to a massive music festival scene. One of the largest is known as Music Midtown, which takes place in Piedmont Park. Since it's revival in 2011, some of the biggest bands in the world have played it.
The Lenox Square Mall is clearly the largest in the city. It has a focus on high-end retail, and features quintessential high-end mall stores like an Apple Store, Ann Taylor, Prada, Louis Vuitton and many more. The anchor stores include a Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and Neiman Marcus.If you prefer to walk the streets instead of shopping inside a large mall, there are a number of places worth visiting. Atlantic Station has brick paved streets and is extremely scenic. If you're looking for more eclectic than upscale, head to Little Five Points, which is a cultural hotbed as well as offering some great bohemian shopping.
Atlanta is a world-class sporting city. Baseball is definitely one of the most important local sports, with the Atlanta Braves regularly drawing huge crowds at Turner Field. NBA fans don't miss out either, and support the Atlanta Hawks. The Falcons also represent the NFL in the city. The three teams all receive strong support from the local residents. The city was formerly home to the Atlanta Thrashers of the NHL. However, support for an ice hockey team wasn't as strong as the ownership group had hoped. After just over ten years in the city the team was sold and became the second iteration of the Winnipeg Jets.
Although it is a major metropolitan area, there are still ways to enjoy the outdoors while in Atlanta. The city has converted unused railroad tracks to a public space in the Atlanta BeltLine. It's a great place to walk or bike right within the city. You can even get to a state park after travelling only a few minutes from the core of this major city. Sweetwater Creek State Park sits alongside the George Sparks Reservoir. This provides the perfect opportunity to everyone who likes to get a line in the water, or who just enjoys water-based activities like kayaking and canoeing.

Boulder's Evol gets $4 million, plans to quicken expansion
Quickly growing Evol Foods, the Boulder-based maker of Evol frozen burritos and other all-natural eats, says it received a $4 million investment from New York private equity fund Alliance Consumer Growth.
The company announced the investment, which also includes San Francisco-based Bee Partners, earlier this week. A company spokeswoman said Thursday the amount was $4 million.
Evol said the new capital will allow it to accelerate its nationwide distribution and expand product innovations and marketing.
Boulder chef-entrepreneur Phil Anson launched Phil's Fresh Foods in 2004 with a line of frozen burritos. In 2009, the company received an investment from Brendan Synnott and Tom Spier, founders of Bear Naked Granola, and changed its name to Evol ("love" spelled backwards).
Anson focuses on product innovation and quality, and Spier and Synnott are involved in building the brand. Evol now sells frozen burritos, wraps, snacks, entrée bowls, pizzas and flatbreads.

View source for Wizard of Oz

Jump to:
'''Wizard of Oz''', 1939 MGM fantasy movie starring [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_Garland Judy Garland], [[Frank Morgan]], [[Ray Bolger]], [[Bert Lahr]], [[Jack Haley]], [[Billie Burke]], [[Margaret Hamilton]] and [[Charley Grapewin]] from the book by [[L. Frank Baum]]. Clara Blandick who plays "Auntie Em" was not named in the opening credits, and it was not until decades later when the ending credits were also broadcast, that many fans discovered who she was. Also look very closely and you can tell that Frank Morgan was not only Professor Marvel and the Wizard, but he was also the doorman and the cabbie in the Emerald City.

Here is [http://www.scifiscripts.com/scripts/wizoz.txt one script]. On a new page, I'll be listing all the [[WizardofOz1|differences between this script and the broadcast movie]]. Below, first I present a detailed plotline of the entire movie, and then I present another section showing some well-known and obscure mistakes and oddities in the film. ----- This article written and copyright 2008 by Will Johnson, freelance biographer and professional genealogist.

 =Detailed Plot= The below plotline is broken into ten parts to match the ten parts of the movie uploaded to YouTube. ==Part 1== The story opens with Dorothy (Judy Garland) running home from school with her faithful dog Toto. She excitedly tries to interest her Auntie Em (Clara Blandick) and Uncle Henry Gale (Charley Grapewin) in the terrible story of how Miss Almira Gulch (Margaret Hamilton) hit Toto with a rake because he gets in her garden and chases her cat. Next we meet the three farmhands Hunk, Zeke, and Hickory (Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr and Jack Haley), each of them try to help her out in their own way. Hunk (Ray Bolger) tells her to use her brains, Zeke (Bert Lahr) tells her to have courage. (A cut portion had Hickory telling her to have some heart, and have pity on the "sour-faced old maid" Miss Gulch. Another cut portion has Hickory working on a wind machine that he claims will stop tornadoes.) Now Dorothy falls in the pig pen and is rescued by Zeke. Both Dorothy and Zeke are freaked out by this, but Auntie Em is a bit blase, telling Dorothy to "find a place where you won't get into any trouble!" So now Dorothy sings her signature song ''Somewhere Over The Rainbow''. Next we see Miss Gulch riding her bicycle to the Gale's farm where she shows them an order allowing her to take Toto to the sheriff, because she says Toto bit her. Dorothy is very upset and runs crying to her room. Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Nh3tCHxEQ part 1] ==Part 2== Toto however escapes from Miss Gulch's basket without her noticing, and runs back to Dorothy. Dorothy knows that to protect Toto, she will have to run away. So she and Toto run away and on her journey meet Professor Marvel (Frank Morgan), a fortune teller. He tells her that in his crystal ball he can see her Aunt Em crying, and possibly having a heart attack. Dorothy gets upset and wants to run back home. On the way home, a tornado appears and threatens the farm. Henry, Em and the three farm-hands go into the storm cellar, but Dorothy arrives too late. She tries to get into the storm cellar but the door is locked and they can't hear her banging on the top. So she goes back into her room, the window blows out and hits her in the head knocking her out. When she awakes she is apparently up inside the tornado and sees a bunch of things flying by the window, including Miss Gulch on her bicycle, who then turns into a witch riding a broomstick. The force of the tornado diminishes and the house falls and lands but Dorothy and Toto are unhurt. Dorothy opens the front door, and now for the first time, the movie which had so far been in black-and-white, is changed to full-color. Dorothy has landed in a garden with gigantic flowers, a lily-pond, a stream and bridge, some small houses and a bright-yellow brick road. Dorothy walks around the garden but no one else is there. Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovaYLpm5DI4&feature=related Part 2] ==Part 3== This part opens with her famously misquoted line: "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." When her back is turned, some heads pop up from the garden, then dart back down. A ball of light comes closer, then turns into Glinda, the Witch of the North (Billie Burke). It turns out that the Gale house has dropped onto and killed, the Wicked Witch of the East. Now Billie starts the next song "The Munchkinland Song (Ding Dong the Witch is Dead)", which Dorothy and the Munchkins finish. The Munchkins, who are all little people, now come out of hiding and dance about singing. The Mayor welcomes her, the Coronor certifies that the witch is truly dead. The Lullaby League and the Lollipop Guild both welcome Dorothy. (Of course it's never really made clear how the Munchkins which until now had been so oppressed by this evil witch, suddenly live in a beautiful garden and have bright, colorful clothes.) At any rate now appears the sister of the dead witch, this one called the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton). She threatens Dorothy, especially after Glinda causes the Ruby Slippers to disappear from the dead witch and appear on the feet of Dorothy. "I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!" She disappears in a cloud of fire and red smoke. Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cAyPJkiQAk&feature=related Part 3] ==Part 4== Now Dorothy, states that she wants to go back home to Kansas. Glinda recommends that Dorothy should travel to meet the "great and wonderful Wizard of Oz", who lives in Emerald City, that he might know a way. To get there Dorothy must "follow the Yellow Brick Road". Glinda now disappears and then the Munchkins launch into the next song ''Follow the Yellow Brick Road''. In the next scene, Dorothy comes to a four-way intersection and is unsure which way to go. Here she meets the Scarecrow (Ray Bolger), helping him down off his pole. We learn that the Scarecrow is troubled because he doesn't have a brain. Also he states that he isn't a very good scarecrow because the crows aren't afraid of him. He now launches into the next song-and-dance ''If I Only Had A Brain''. He suggests that perhaps the Wizard could help him by giving him a brain. So the two of them set-off together. Next Dorothy and the Scarecrow come upon an apple orchard, only to discover that the trees talk and are annoyed at her for trying to pick their apples — "How would you like to have someone come along and pick something off you?" The Scarecrow tricks the trees into throwing their apples at him. Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu1EInG3PLA&feature=related Part 4] ==Part 5== As Dorothy is picking up the apples, she comes across a Tin Woodsman (Jack Haley). He mumbles something which they interpret to mean that he wants them to oil his mouth. Once they do, he starts speaking clearly. He tells them that "'Bout a year ago I was chopping that tree and suddenly it began to ran, and right in the middle of a chop, I rusted solid." When Dorothy says "Well you are perfect now", the Woodsman complains that "the tinsmith forget to give me a heart." He then launches into the movie's next song-and-dance with ''If I Only Had A Heart''. Now the Scarecrow and Dorothy offer that the Tin Woodsman should come with them to see the Wizard. Now the Witch appears and threatens the two men, throwing a fireball at the Scarecrow, and then vanishes again in a cloud of red smoke. The men however, stick by Dorothy. And they all go singing and dancing down the road. In the next scene, they are in a dark forest and feeling frightened, when suddenly a lion appears and threatens them. Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8RhueFc9sY&NR=1 Part 5] ==Part 6== The Lion (Bert Lahr) threatens Toto, and so Dorothy slaps the Lion on its nose. The Lion bursts into tears at this and tells them that he has no courage. They now offer to bring him along with them to see the Wizard. "Well wouldn't you feel degraded to be seen in the company of a Cowardly Lion?" Now he launches into the next song-and-dance ''If I Only Had The Nerve''. Here we are treated to some of the most bizarre song lyrics : "I'd be brave as a '''blizzard''', I'd be gentle as a '''lizard''', I'd be clever as a '''gizzard'''". None of which makes any sense. They then give us another round of ''We're Off To See The Wizard'', as they go skipping out of the forest. Meanwhile the Witch has been watching them in her giant crystal ball and she has a plan to stop them. Mixing a potion, she casts a spell that thousands of poppies would appear in their path and put them to sleep with their narcotic odor. The travelers now for the first time, see the beautiful Emerald City rising from the plain in front of them, but the poppies have completely grown over and obscured the Yellow Brick Road. Running ahead, the Tin Woodsman, and the Scarecrow, not being flesh, are unaffected by the poppies, but the Lion, Toto and Dorothy fall asleep. The Scarecrow tries to think of some way out of their predicament, while the Tin Woodsman, starts yelling and crying. Glinda now appears in an overlay, and casts her own spell, making it snow. The snow dampens the narcotic odor enough to cause Dorothy, Toto and the Lion to wake up, but the Tin Woodsman rusts. Now we flash back to the Witch who is pissed off that she's been thwarted. We see something odd here that must be explained. At 6:55, the Monkey King is jumping up and down with something in his hand, and he hands it to the Witch, who takes it and waves it around for a few seconds around 7:01. This thing is the Magic Hat or Helmet or Skullcap (like a bathing cap). If the Witch wears this, she can command the Flying Monkeys but she can only do this three times. This is explained in the book, but not in the movie. Now we go back to the travelers and the brief song ''You're Out Of The Woods'', which all Oz fans wish had been much longer. The Witch now flies from her castle, "To the Emerald City as fast as lightning", while the travelers come up to the gate of the city. They tell the doorman that they want to see the Wizard and he responds "Nobody's ever seen the 'Great Oz'. Even I've never seen him!" The doorman tells them to go away, but then being informed that Glinda sent them, he lets them in. An interesting aside here. In the book, as Dorothy and the group enter the city, they are made to wear green-tinted glasses so everything will '''look''' emerald, when in fact the '''emeralds''' that appear to cover all the buildings are only cheap glass. Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjpkIozdgYw&feature=related Part 6] ==Part 7== Now the group enters Emerald City, and we notice that all the population wear green clothes. Our group is met by a horse-and-carriage who offer to take them to a place to freshen up. Now we get the next song ''In The Merry Old Land of Oz''. This '''horse of a different color''' changes colors several times in the next minute: white, purple, burnt orange, and finally yellow. At the "Wash and Brush Up Company", the Scarecrow is restuffed with fresh straw, the Tin Woodsman is polished with a giant buffer, Dorothy is given a beauty treatment, and the Lion is clipped with hedge-trimmers (it's true) by five very silly women. Notice that the beauticians have decided that Dorothy's hair looks better, not in pig-tails, but full, and with a single bow on top. Our group, now beautiful and refreshed (presumably), go out of the beauty spa only to find the Witch has arrived and is sky-writing on her broomstick, "Surrender Dorothy", in black smoke. The townspeople all rush to inquire of the Wizard, but they are shooed back home by the Wizard's doorkeeper. Our group however insists they must see the Wizard, and to the doorkeeper's intransigence state "But she's Dorothy!", "The Witches Dorothy?", says the doorkeeper, "Well that's makes a difference." He goes off and the Lion now breaks into the next song ''If I Were King Of The Forest'', while the rest of the group show various signs of respect to the "King". The doorkeeper returns however and tells them "The Wizard says Go Away!" At this Dorothy bursts into tears, causing the eavesdropping doorkeeper to do the same. "Please don't cry anymore", says the doorkeeper, "I'll get you in to see the Wizard somehow." Our group then enters the Wizards long hallway. This leads them to his throne room, where out of a cloud of fire and steam he announces, "I Am Oz, the Great and Powerful! Who Are You? Who Are You!" Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtsBlsOxPqI&feature=related Part 7] ==Part 8== Their interview with Oz didn't perhaps go the way they might have wished. He agrees to grant their requests, if they bring him "the broomstick of the Witch of the West". The Lion is so frightened he runs from the throne room and crashes through a window in the hallway. Next we see our group in the dark-and-sinister "Haunted Forest". In order to confront the witch, they have armed themselves with some new weapons. Dorothy is '''still carrying''' her trusty picnic basket, but the Scarecrow has a staff and a pistol, the Lion has a butterfly net and an insect-repellent gun, and the Tin Woodsman has his ax but also a gigantic wrench. Of course being a Haunted Forest, they discuss whether they believe in '''spooks'''. The Tin Woodsman says he doesn't so the spooks lift him up and then drop him to the ground. The Witch, watching all this through her crystal ball, now commands the Flying Monkeys to, "Take your army to the Haunted Forest and bring me that girl and her dog. Do what you like with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed." The Flying Monkeys attack and take Dorothy and Toto, while pulling the straw out of the Strawman, but leaving the Tin Woodsman and the Lion apparently unharmed. Now a prisoner at the Witch's Castle, Dorothy agrees to give up the Ruby slippers if the Witch will not harm Toto, but the Witch remembers that the slippers won't come off until Dorothy is dead. Toto jumps out of the basket where he was put, and runs off to find the others. The Witch now is really upset. She turns an hourglass over and tells Dorothy that that is all the time she has left and then Dorothy will be '''dead'''. The Witch leaves the room, but now Dorothy bursts into tears, calling out for Auntie Em who then appears in the Witch's crystal ball, although they can't hear each other. Auntie Em's image is then replaced by the Witch's, who mocks Dorothy. "I'll give you Auntie Em my pretty!" (followed by cackling and shrill laughter). Meanwhile Toto finds his way down the mountainside and back to the forest where the Lion and Tin Woodsman are re-stuffing the Scarecrow. They all climb up the mountain to where the Witch's Castle sits on top, and examine it, arriving just at the '''changing of the guards'''. Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2LBFafFDAI&feature=related Part 8] ==Part 9== As the travelers are watching the castle, three Winkie guards sneak up and jump them from behind. At time 1:17 or 1:18 you can distinctly hear one of these guards say, "Put 'em up". Our intrepid bunch gets the better of the guards and we next see them in the guards' uniforms, which of course are the perfect disguise to get inside the castle. So they join the guards who are going in, with the Lion bringing up the rear and trying to keep his tail from showing too much. With Toto leading them, they find the room in which Dorothy is being held. The Tin Woodsman hacks away at the door with his axe, freeing Dorothy, and the group runs downs the stairs. But the Witch is too clever for them, causing the door that they need to exit through, to lock. The Scarecrow noticing that the enormous chandelier is held up by a rope, grabs the Tin Woodsman's arm and swings the axe through the rope, causing the chandelier to drop onto the Winkie guards approaching them. Our heroes run this way and that, but eventually are trapped by the Witch in a tower whose open archways on both sides are filled by guards. And she tells us what she intends, "The last to go, will see the first three go before '''her''', and her '''mangy little dog too'''!" The Witch now lights her broomstick on fire, and uses it to light the Scarecrow on fire. Dorothy grabs a bucket of water, conviently nearby and throws it on the Scarecrow to put him out, but some of the water gets on the Witch as well. You can clearly hear the Witch at 5:35 or 5:36 say something like "Don't touch that water." The water melts the Witch into a puddle (or something) and the guards now salute Dorothy for freeing them. Now we get some really odd dialogue. Dorothy says "The broom may we have it?" And the Winkie guard says, "Please, and take it with you." (Um... duh? What? You can have it, but only if you leave it here?) Now our travelers are back in the Wizard's Throne Room, where he tells them to come back tomorrow. But Toto, investigates a curtained area, and pulling the curtain aside, they find the real '''Great and Powerful Oz''' to be only a regular man, working an elaborate machinery. Our shocked group tell him he's a humbug and Dorothy says, "You're a very bad man". But he replies, "Oh no my dear, I'm a very good man, I'm just a very bad wizard." The Wizard now tells Scarecrow that he doesn't need a brain, what he lacks is a diploma. So he gives him a "Doctor of Thinkology" diploma. The Scarecrow then recites what presumably is supposed to be the Pythagorean Theorem but actually states it incorrectly. But he's happy anyway. The Wizard now tells the Lion that he doesn't need courage, what he lacks is a medal. So he gives him a medal called the "Triple Cross" for "meritorious conduct, extraordinary valor, conspicuous bravery against wicked witches..." "You are now a member of the Legion of Courage." Watch it on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGuUVlWgH5g&feature=related Part 9] ==Part 10== The Wizard now tells the Tin Woodsman that he doesn't need a heart, what he lacks is a Testimonial. "Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time, in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection." He then gives him a heart-shaped clock. But Dorothy's situation is a little more difficult, so the Wizard states that the only way to get her back to Kansas is for him to take her himself. We learn that the Wizard is from Kansas himself. He was a balloonist for the '''Miracle Wonderland Carnival Company''', until one day, his balloon instead of returning to the fair, mysteriously floated down into the Emerald City, where he was instantly proclaimed "Oz, the First Wizard Deluxe." So now he suggests they return together to "the land of E Pluribus Unum" Now the Wizard, Dorothy and Toto are in the balloon in the town square while he gives a farewell speech to the crowd. A cat interests Toto and he jumps growling after it, while Dorothy chases him down. Meanwhile the balloon lifts off and the Wizard doesn't know how to make it land, so off he goes. Now Glinda appears once again, telling Dorothy, "You've always had the power to go back to Kansas." If Glinda had told her, she wouldn't have believed it, that she had to learn it for herself. So the Scarecrow says, "Well what have you learned Dorothy?" And now folks we get some truly bizarre moral. Please pay close attention to this dialogue:
"Well, I think that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. And it's that, if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with."
 Read that over five times. '''It's bizarre!''' Dorothy now says goodbye to the Tin Woodsman, the Lion and the Scarecrow, and following Glinda's instructions, taps her heels together three times and thinks, "There's No Place Like Home". Watch it now on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf0TLr0q9M4&NR=1 Part 10] =Continuity Issues= ==CI Part 1== Watch Part 1 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-Nh3tCHxEQ here]. At time 3:53 and 3:54 we have a clear view of Zeke's butt, and he has no handkerchief in his back pocket. He dumps the pig feed with both hands, you can hear him shaking it out, and then the camera jumps back to him at time 4:05 and voila! He now has a handkerchief in his back pocket, but he had never put down the bucket! At time 4:44, just after Dorothy is rescued from the pig sty, Auntie Em shows up with crullers and in part she says to Hickory "I saw you tinkering on that contraption Hickory", then Hickory says "Some day they are going to erect a statue to me in this town". This exchange '''makes no sense''', since the entire scene where we learn that the "contraption" is a machine that can stop tornadoes, has been cut. [[WizardofOz1#Part_1| See here.]] At time 5:00 through 5:20 we have clear views of Dorothy's dress, after she has just been rescued from the pig sty — her dress is completely clean. ==CI Part 2== Watch Part 2 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovaYLpm5DI4&feature=related here] When Dorothy returns to the house during the tornado, she tries to get into the cellar but the door is bolted and they can't hear her. She is carrying Toto and the picnic basket. She goes inside and the next frames show her in her bedroom with Toto but no picnic basket. Where did she put it! At 6:41 her end table in front of the window appears relatively clear of objects. And again notice at 6:46. Then the majority of the window frame blew out and hit Dorothy on the head, but apparently didn't affect anything else in the room, and especially not this weird group of figurines or whatever they are who appear on that table clearly at 7:19. And at this point as the house is slowly tilting back and forth, that left-over storm window on the right, should be flapping back and forth, as well, but it's not. It's not bolted on, because we clearly earlier saw it swinging around. When Dorothy is up inside the cyclone, she sees Miss Gulch riding her bicycle, who then turns into a witch on a broomstick. When the house lands, it lands on the witch, and then Dorothy and later the Munchkins sing about how "the witch to satisfy an itch when riding on her broomstick thumbing for a hitch", so the house landed on her. So the witch who was killed by the house was Miss Gulch/Witch of the East, and it's her sister that is the Witch of the West. The figurines are now gone! But at least we see where she put that picnic basket, she picks it up right before she leaves her bedroom after the house has landed. A girl can't go anywhere without a picnic basket! Of course even though the bed has just been sliding back and forth all over the room, the picnic basket is still upright with all it's precious contents (whatever they are) in it. For a people just-recently-oppressed by the evil Witch of the West, the Munchkins sure seem to live in an idyllic garden of beautiful flowers and water and have very colorful clothes. ==CI Part 3== Watch Part 3 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cAyPJkiQAk&feature=related here] The Mayor says "As Mayor of the Munchkin City, in the County of the Land of Oz". Glinda earlier however had said "this is Munchkin Land". So what is Munchkinia? Is it a city? a county? a land? Is the County called the "Land of Oz" County ? Or what! Right at 8:19 and just a second or split-second before you see the red smoke of the witch's arrival, someone screams prematurely. At 8:26 Dorothy still has the giant lollipop, '''after''' the witch has arrived, so it wasn't frightened out of her hand, but it never appears again. At 9:04 the witch has taken about seven steps over to the ruby shoes on the feet of her dead sister, the end of her broom is almost touching them when they disappear. But at 9:09 it appears that she is being shadowed against a painted backdrop some distance away, almost like a draft of the film cast on a screen. Then at 9:10 she is right up against the house again. So obviously 9:09 was a redo, some time later. When Dorothy is about to leave the city, Glinda says that the Munchkins will accompany her to the border of Munchkinland, but they only go a few feet before they stop and wave her on her journey. We know it's a long distance to the Emerald City, so what's the name of the land that Dorothy is now trans versing? ==CI Part 4== Watch Part 4 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu1EInG3PLA&feature=related here]. As she leaves Munchkin City, she is carrying a bouquet of flowers. They never again appear. Dorothy comes upon a four-way intersection in the Yellow Brick Road, which is where she meets the Scarecrow. She doesn't know which way to go, and he doesn't know, but at the end of this scene they merrily march off down one of the paths anyway. Notice the force she is using flinging the picnic basket back and forth and yet nothing ever flies out of it! It's a magic picnic basket! At time 3:09, there is a small bed of flowers directly behind Dorothy that are mostly some type of small blue flower and a lesser amount of yellow/orange flowers. But at time 5:02 we see a much more vibrant red/orange/yellow bushy arrangement partially climbing up the fence. At 6:32 what is this? Now the flowers look almost white. We can see this patch of flowers again clearly at 7:56 and there is no blue, and now it's a very muted yellowish. At time 3:38, its clear that the Scarecrow's head is taller than his pole, but in his close-up at 3:42, the pole clearly extends up behind his head. At 3:45 it's short again, but then at 3:50 it's tall ! At time 4:52 through 4:58 the Scarecrow loses some of his stuffing and says "Oh no I just keep picking it up and putting it back in again", indicating that he has done this before. But of course until just now, the Scarecrow has never been off his pole, so he couldn't have done this before. At time 5:07, we can see some type of flowers or vines on the piece of fence directly behind the Scarecrow and Dorothy, but at 5:14, that piece of fence is clean, finally at 5:49 we see them back. Also during this scene, we see Dorothy's hair comes down to well-below her bosom and is sort-of "bushy" at the ends. Right about the time the Scarecrow falls off his pole, her hair is suddenly several inches shorter and much less "bushy". He then falls over the fence and when a crow comes up and sits on his shoulder, Dorothy's hair is again long and bushy. The crow flies off, "What would you do with a brain" and again her hair is much shorter. The Scarecrow sings, Dorothy courteously keeps her hair short during his song but as soon as it ends, her hair is long again! The nerve! At 8:00 we can clearly see the entire pole the Scarecrow had been on, even though earlier it was mostly obscured by the "corn". At time 8:17 we see some kind of bird to the right, remember that bird, he is a ham. At the end of part 4, right after the trees throw apples at them, it appears that Dorothy has on black shoes, instead of her ruby shoes. (see 9:24) ==CI Part 5== Watch Part 5 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8RhueFc9sY&NR=1 here]. At time 1:32, Dorothy who has been holding an apple, tosses it on the ground as she is helping the Tin Woodsman lower his arm. At time 1:51, without her ever bending down, the apple has leaped back into her hand! Check out time 2:21 what the heck is there a bird flapping it's wings right behind them? Rule number 72 of movie-making '''no extraneous flapping birds please!''' And then again at 4:13, will someone give that bird an Actor's Equity card please! And then see 4:58 what is that? A peacock? A crane? The Tin Woodsman is raising crane? That bird should be punished for shameless scene-stealing. At 5:45 notice the Tin Woodsman's button are on the right, at 6:11 they are on the left, at 6:37 they are back on the right again! That loony Dorothy now at 7:05 is going to go skipping off forgetting her precious picnic basket! Lucky that the Scarecrow picks it up. Notice something bizarre here. The Scarecrow has the basket, but then suddenly he is flinging his arms up with no basket and it appears Dorothy is too. The basket has vanished! And then just when you thought it was safe, at 7:23 that '''crane reappears''' for just a second! I don't know about you, but if I were traveling a well-established yellow brick road (but however never met any fellow travelers) and it went through a dense, dark, overgrown forest, I would expect the road to itself be overgrown and broken up in patches. But it seems strangely well-groomed. ==CI Part 6== Watch Part 6 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjpkIozdgYw&feature=related here]. You will recall, that as they skip along, Dorothy sometimes had to "pull up" on the Scarecrow. That is because Scarecrows being made of straw would have a tendency to sag and loose shape if they were dancing along a road. Scarecrows are also very weak creatures, being made of straw. However at 5:33 we see the Scarecrow propping up and helping the Lion to stand up! The Lion must weigh at least 200 pounds! ==CI part 7== Watch Part 7 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtsBlsOxPqI&feature=related here]. At time 3:07 we meet the Wizard's gatekeeper. Notice that the ends of his mustache are pulled up to seemingly meet his sideburns. But then at 3:42 we notice the mustache to be drooping on the sides, almost like he put it on that day upside-down. At time 6:13 we see the Tin Woodsman, pick up a flower pot and shatter it with his axe, creating a crown, which he puts on the Lion's head. But then at 7:35 the Wizard's doorkeeper bursts out of the door, scaring the Lion, whose crown falls to the ground... and bounces. Obviously a clay pot would not bounce, it would shatter. At time 8:20 the doorkeeper bursts into tears, but notice that the water is running down the '''bridge''' of his nose. This is not possible if the source of the tears is his eyes. So there must be a tube running under his hat or something. From time 6:05 to 8:45 we are Toto-less ! Toto does not appear to be anywhere in-frame, perhaps all that dancing around was too much for him and he was snoozing in the flowerbed. At time 10:01 remember the way the Throne-room looks. This is one of the only shots looking to the left. We need to know this for later. ==CI Part 8== Watch Part 8 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2LBFafFDAI&feature=related here]. Notice that gleaming, glowing, fantastic Art-Deco thingie to one side of the door. It's there at time 1:13, but at time 2:06 when we should see it clearly, it's gone or out or something. At time 3:15, remembering again that the Strawman is ...made of '''straw''', we see him, on one side, lifting the lion off his feet, while the lion's feet are thrashing back-and-forth. Hardly something a man of straw could do. At time 3:19 is the last we see of the Lion's butterfly net and insect-repellent gun. Nothing appears to have happened to the Lion in the interim, so why they are missing is unexplained. At time 3:40, after the spooks have lifted up the Tin Woodsman, they let him fall, we can clearly see the "tin" on his butt and the back of his leg wrinkle and unwrinkle as fabric would do, but as tin would not do. At time 3:42 it appears that the Scarecrow throws down his staff and pistol to help the Tin Woodsman. We never see these weapons again. At time 3:44 we see the Tin Woodsman's giant wrench lying on the ground, but never see it again. At time 4:10 the Witch says "I've sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them." This sentence makes no sense, because the scene with that insect has been cut. The scene was cut because initial studio reaction was that the film was too long. You can watch-and-hear that scene [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJoJ_gizj_s here], the first 1:10 of this clip has no video, just still images, but then you'll see the dance that was cut. What you will see, will be shocking and frightening. Remember, they have just been harassed by a small creature (called the ''Jitterbug'') biting them, and then watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJoJ_gizj_s this] '''Be prepared to be disturbed... very disturbed.''' At time 4:43 we can again definitely see wrinkles on the Tin Woodsman's butt. We also see him now pick up his axe. But the monkeys grab the axe, but then at 5:24 he has it back again. '''If I were a monkey''', and I'm not saying I'm not, I would have kept the axe. ==CI Part 9== Watch Part 9 on YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGuUVlWgH5g&feature=related here]. At time 6:43, our travelers have returned to Oz's Throne Room. Notice on either side of them, and above them, some sort of columns, or maybe something large apparently hanging from the ceiling? But there shouldn't be anything right next to them, as they are in the middle of a large open room. ==CI Part 10== At time 3:40 Toto jumps out of the balloon, at 3:41 Dorothy jumps out saying at 3:44 "Don't go without me, I'll be right back". At 3:46 we see the Tin Woodsman holding tightly to the rope, which is also wound around a pole. '''But''' at 3:48 we clearly see the Tin Woodsman undo the rope from the pole! Apparently he didn't want Dorothy to go! At time 5:15, Glinda says "You don't need to be helped any longer. You're always had the power to go back to Kansas." Okay so we're supposed to believe now that the Ruby slippers and Dorothy's firm desire and knowledge are all she needs. So why when Dorothy is finally doing it, at 7:35 is Glinda moving her wand around behind Dorothy's head? Aha! I've got you now you lying Glinda! You're giving her a boost. (She probably wanted those slippers for herself, we all know they fell off Dorothy's feet on her magical flight back to Kansas.) At time 6:52 Dorothy says to the Lion, "I'm going to miss the way you used to holler for help before you found your courage." But the lion '''never did''' holler for help. He fretted, and whimpered and shook, but never hollered for help. At time 8:46 Dorothy, now back in Kansas says "I tried to get back for days and days". Ok so how come we never see the travelers at night or camping or whatever. When Dorothy leaves Munchkin City, Glinda tells her that the trip to Emerald City is "a long journey". Well? Five miles isn't long, so maybe a hundred miles? They would have had to camp sometime. At time 10:07, we see that "Auntie Em" was played by Clara Blandick, given billing right above Toto played by Toto and "The Singer Midgets" as The Munchkins. But right above Auntie Em is "Nikko" played by Pat Walshe. Um... who? what? Who the heck was Nikko? Aha! What the scriptwriters wouldn't tell us, the [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=11204741¤tResult=12&src=search&firstvisit=true newspapers did]. Nikko, was the King of the Flying Monkeys. He was not played by a chimpanzee as some think, but rather by Pat Walshe, who also appeared on Broadway a few times. =Premature Plotlines= Hunk (Ray Bolger) who will later appear as the "Scarecrow" says: "Now lookit Dorothy, you ain't using your head about Miss Gulch. Think you didn't have any '''brains''' at all." He then gives her a good idea and says "Well your head ain't '''made of straw''' you know!" Zeke (Bert Lahr) says "Listen kid, are you going to let that old Gulch heifer try to buffalo ya? She ain't nothing to be afraid of, have a little '''courage''' that's all." In the script, but cut from the movie, Hickory (Jack Haley) tells Dorothy to have some '''heart''' for that "sour-faced old maid." When Miss Gulch shows up to take Toto to the sheriff, she wants to put him in a '''picnic basket''', and Dorothy in an outburst says "Oh you '''Wicked Old Witch'''". Of course Toto jumps out of the '''unlocked basket'''. Much later the Wicked Witch, when she captures Toto, also puts him in the same '''picnic basket'''. And of course he jumps out again since the '''basket is unlocked'''. '''Lock the dang basket!''' Professor Marvel (Frank Morgan) who later will be the "Wizard", is a '''kindly and lovable fraud''', claiming to be a fortune teller and to have known the "Crowned Heads of Europe".

Black Law Students / Re: Clerking??« on: April 07, 2009, 08:07:25 AM »
I think you should be able to get something, although having a short list certainly decreases your odds. Not being on a journal isn't that much of a hindrance coming from YLS, esp. for district court clerkships, although I will admit that it's kind of odd given how many journals we have and the fact that most people did at least one first semester. Working a year or two won't really matter one way or the other, since it's so common, although it might be useful to the extent that you develop a relationship with someone that knows a judge personally. I would suggest applying for clerkships in the early summer and really tailoring your cover letters to the judges that you're considering. Highlight your strengths and connect them to something about the judge. You would also increase your chances by saying that you'd be willing to clerk for either the 2010 or 2011 clerkship year. For instance, my judge has already finished hiring for 2010, so if you said that that was all you wanted, then the clerks would probably screen you out.
As for district v. appellate, both have their advantages. District is great if you want to get a good feel for motions practice and see a trial in action. Appellate is great for learning how to comb through a record and assess (and develop) points of law...it's much more academic (but with real-world impact). Some district court judges will "ride circuit" and sit on an appellate panel once a year or so, in which case you can also get a taste of what an appellate clerkship is like. Having made it through 8 mos of my appellate clerkship, I can say that the experience is awesome. I was indifferent between appellate and district coming in...and honestly, I still am. That said, when I was applying, I went back and forth between doing 1 or 2 years of clerking (i.e., district then appellate), and now I'm absolutely sure that I'd want to do only one year. Lol I'm tired of being poor.
Thanks Alci.
Being poor is not so bad ITE. Everyone is
In all seriousness, your reply is very helpful. I know I've talked with you about this in the past and your answers have always been very illuminating.
Glad you clarified that you've spoken to Alci in the past. He was the first person who came to mind when you posted your issue.
Is it correct to assume that you would now recommend some journal involvement for most law students? (Or just for those who might later consider clerking?)
Also, congrats and good luck.

One in ten seniors in America is at risk for hunger. And the senior hunger problem is only getting worse – the number of adults over age 50 who are at risk has increased 79% since 2001. Hunger at any age is a serious concern, but for seniors, a lack of nutritious food can have considerable impacts on health and independence.
Research conducted at Hebrew SeniorLife's Institute for Aging Research shows that seniors who consume higher levels of dietary protein are less likely to suffer hip fractures than seniors whose dietary intake is less. Other studies have shown that seniors at risk for being hungry are less likely to be in excellent or very good health, and more likely to be diabetic, suffer from depression, or have at least one activity of daily living limitation – such as bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom.
As you might expect, poverty is one big reason why seniors go hungry. A report earlier this year by UMass Boston and Wider Opportunities for Women showed that seniors in Massachusetts face the largest gap in the country between income and cost of living. The median income of retired Massachusetts seniors is just under $17,000, but basic living expenses are estimated at about $27,000 per year – a $10,000 shortfall. Healthy, lean proteins like chicken and fish are expensive for a senior living on a fixed income.
But money is only part of the problem. As we age, tasks like grocery shopping and cooking meals can become increasingly difficult. This can create a dangerous downward spiral of poorer health and decreased independence.
At Hebrew SeniorLife, we're focused on ways to keep seniors of all incomes healthy and independent. Our supportive housing communities in Brookline, Randolph, and Revere offer affordable meal plans so low-income residents can access a hot, nutritious meal right in their own building. And these communal meals provide a social experience that helps prevent isolation and loneliness. Each year, we serve nearly 200,000 meals to the residents of these three communities.
For our most frail residents, having access to a hot prepared meal might mean the difference between living independently and moving to a nursing home or assisted living facility. And for seniors of all abilities, proper nutrition is a key part of staying active and healthy.

There are millions of people in living in Beijing who for many days of the year must step out their door and suffer the heavy blanket of smog enveloping the city. In 2013 records were broken when PM2.5 readings surged to 886 µg/m3, far beyond the level deemed acceptable by the World Health Organization, which is a 25 µg/m3 mean over a 24 hour period.
