In the world of Porsche motorsport racing certain liveries are iconic: Martini, Rothman, Sunoco, Gulf, Brumos, etc. So, when one of those storied liveries decides to make a change you know it's a big deal. This coming weekend in the Porsche 250, at Barber Motorsport Park, the familiar Brumos #59 Porsche 911 GT3 takes on a changed appearance as the team joins forces with Racing for Children's, the official charity of the Honda Indy Grand Prix.

If you can't make it to the race or the dinner, please consider sponsoring a patient's Handprint on the famous Brumos Racing #59 Porsche racecar (WE DID!) that will be racing on Saturday, April 6th.

Q: Tizen-sdk-for-wearable-setup Installation issue because of JAVA HOME System Configuration:
OS - Windows 8
System type - 64-bit Operating System , x64-based processor

I have installed java-8 and set JAVA_HOME as
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0

I am getting error as below image while Tizen-sdk-for-wearable-setup Installation.

error - Cannot execute Java even if it was installed. Check environment variable or Java version(over 1.6) please.
I tried installing after JDK 7 both 32 bit and 64 bit and setting JAVA_HOME - Program Files path and Program Files (x86) path both also it didn't worked.
I have a another system in which the Issue didn't occurred.
System Configuration :
OS - Windows 7 Enterprise
System Type - 32 bit operating system.

Installed Java - C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45
JAVA_HOME set as - C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.6.0_45
Now there may be many chances why installation is not getting in my win-8 64 bit.

*

*64 bit JAVA support is not available.

*I am not sure about ~ symbol in JAVA_HOME path but it may be to escape space between Program Files and I have not set java home using this symbol.

*In win-8 64 bit I have 2 folders. Program Files and Program Files (x86) , I am not sure whether to use ~ or " " to set JAVA_HOME and for 32 bit java or 64 bit java installed.

*May be only java 1.6 is supported right now.

I searched and found similar issues :

*

*I find this link but not able to get why its advised to set the system environment Path Variable to 'c:\windows\system32'.

*In this link its advised to use InstallManager.jar via cmd.exe.

I can try each possible assumption till it works but hoping to find a solution with proper reason why I am getting this error.
If any one knows how should I work this out please help.

A: At last solve the Issue.
Installed jdk1.7.0_51 (I think currently JAVA 8 is not supported).
Set the JAVA_HOME as C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_51 (thanks to @Michael comment).

A: This link: https://answers.madewithmarmalade.com/questions/16878/cant-install-tizen-sdk-on-windows-8-64-bit.html solved for me the problem of Tizen SDK installation:
Change directory to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\tizensdk_TimeStampOfInstallationInvocation
java -jar InstallManager.jar
My system: Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Java's version installed (64 bit):
g:>echo %JAVA_HOME%
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05
g:>echo %CLASSPATH%
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\jre\lib
Added to PATH: c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_05\bin\
(Tizen IDE and "Hello World" example run just fine.)

A: I encountered the same problem and finally I realised that my version of Tizen installer is 64bit but I installed 32bit java in my computer. Then I downloaded 32bit Tizen installer and everything was fine.

A: I encountered the same problem, and it was solved by placing the Java path in the beginning of the system path ! weird.. but worked :)

A: You must include, depending on whether you downloaded the x86 or x64 Tizen installer, C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin or C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin in the PATH environment system variable.  You can't use java 8.  See this oracle page for instructions on setting environment variables.  I have read some others mention that they put the entry at the very beginning of the PATH variable.  I think this would only matter if you also had an entry for java 8, but better safe than sorry.

We were driving through a city park the other evening when I noticed a couple of families of geese on the shore of the lagoon. I couldn't resist stopping for a family photo shoot. I slowly walked closer, stopping every couple of steps to take some shots. I sat on a picnic table and took some more. I decided to get even closer – with papa goose watching me closely.
Every time I moved or took a couple of steps closer, papa would give me a warning with a mighty hiss.
We slowly reached a compromise with me getting quite close but also respecting his family. Although we really don't need more geese in the park, these are so cute who can complain (my hubby did).
There were two families and one seemed a little old as they wandered a little farther away from the shore and ate more grass. The goslings were also a bit bigger and the parents less protective.
Very nice. Good stalking work and great pictures.
Thanks – great fun. I also expanded my knowledge of Lightroom editing as I needed different tweaks to keep them soft.
Cute goslings, but geese can be vicious things! Like that shot of the hissing goose….
Well, he let me know who is boss! Thanks for enjoying.
Wonderful photos; technically good and very touching.
I did a lot of awe's. Thanks, Charlie.
I hear you RoSy. Boy do they eat a lot of grass!
They are adorable 🙂 Terrific shots Pat.


Are you subscribed to You?
One thing I've noticed with the craziness of the GDPR and subscribing and unsubscribing is how I am realising what connection is.
The question has triggered one for me – "Are you subscribed to you?". I know you are you, but sometimes we don't live by our values, our beliefs and follow our intuition. How does that statement feel to you?
Are you in alignment with your values, your dreams? Do you listen to your intuition? When you don't do you notice and recall the sensation/warning lights?
Are you living your life in a subscribed way – actioning things for you and your own joy, or fulfilling an expected role that others (or even part of you) has allocated to you?
Just think for a minute, Close your eyes and connect to your heart space or your solar plexus (just below ribs). What do you feel? Ask yourself "Am I connected and subscribed to myself or am I scrolling through without engaging?".
What can you do in your daily life to really subscribe into your life? It might be more meditation, or joining a circle of likeminded women (I run one ;-)) or more craft, more reading, less tv, more self-care…. Spend some time thinking or even journalling on this – then put it into action!
If you are interested in joining the Women's circle I'm offering a free 3 card reading for anyone who joins in May and June – email me for the link.

Warrior Youth Evo Warp Mini 34'' Complete Lacrosse Stick is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DallasLoneStar from A huge leap forward for the beginner! These sticks are by FAR the easiest to catch and throw with of any stick, and by a wide margin. They just make getting started with lacrosse so much easier for my 6 year old. The pocket just soaks up the energy when catching so even tennis balls and soft foam lax balls can be used. Also great for just casual playing catch for all ages! And the price is great too, thank you Warrior for making this product accessible to those just getting started, so they can have the best possible experience. FYI, these are only "legal" for U6 play... because older kids using them would just be plain cheatin'!
Rated 5 out of 5 by LaxBroSef from Best intro stick I have ever used I have used just about every type of mini stick or little lacrosse stick out there. This throws great right out of the packaging and has 0 maintenance. Much easier to talk my non lacrosse friends into having a catch because they can actually throw with this stick. Just a heads up though that this seems to be designed for soft lacrosse balls or tennis balls and not for real lacrosse balls.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Billy D III from Love this little guy! I bought this stick a month ago to mess around in the backyard with my pups and it's awesome! Mesh holds up well in wet and muddy grass and the size makes it easy to take to the park or the beach to tire the dogs out! 10/10 recommend!
Rated 5 out of 5 by mrt1 from Perfect for the little one! My grandson can't wait to get on the field to use his new stick! He's a big shot now !!!

How to Fix D3d9.dll Not Found or Missing Errors
Fix › Windows
A troubleshooting guide for d3d9.dll errors
D3d9.dll issues are caused in one way or another by an issue with Microsoft DirectX.
The d3d9.dll file is one of many files contained in the DirectX software collection. Since DirectX is utilized by most Windows based games and advanced graphics programs, d3d9.dll errors usually show up only when using these programs.
There are several ways that d3d9.dll errors can show up on your computer. Several of the more common specific d3d9.dll error messages are listed below:
The file d3d9.dll is missing
D3d9.DLL Not Found
File d3d9.dll not found
D3d9.dll not found. Reinstalling might help fix this.
The d3d9.dll error message could apply to any program that utilizes Microsoft DirectX, most commonly video games, but it could also appear when another software program is started.
Any of Microsoft's operating systems since Windows 98 may be affected by d3d9.dll and other DirectX issues. This includes Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.
How to Fix D3d9.dll Errors
Do not download the d3d9.dll DLL file individually from any "DLL download site." There are a number of excellent reasons that downloading DLLs from these sites are never a good idea.
If you've already downloaded d3d9.dll from one of those DLL download sites, remove it from wherever you put it and continue with these steps.
Restart your computer if you haven't yet.
The error might be a fluke and a simple restart could clear it up completely.
Install the latest version of Microsoft DirectX. Chances are, upgrading to the latest version of DirectX will fix the d3d9.dll not found error.
Microsoft often releases updates to DirectX without updating the version number or letter, so be sure to install the latest release even if your version is technically the same.
Windows 7, 8, 10, Vista, XP, etc. are all supported by this same DirectX installation package. It will install any DirectX 11, DirectX 10, or DirectX 9 file needed and supported in that version of Windows.
Assuming the latest DirectX version from Microsoft doesn't fix the d3d9.dll error you're receiving, look for a DirectX installation program on your game or application CD or DVD. Usually, if a game or other program utilizes DirectX, the software developers will include a copy of DirectX on the installation disc.
Sometimes, though not often, the DirectX version included on the disc is a better fit for the program than the latest version available online.
Uninstall the game or software program and then reinstall it again. Something might have happened to the program files that work with d3d9.dll and a reinstall could do the trick.
You might try removing the program with a free software uninstaller tool to make sure that all of the installation files and registry data is removed. Using the standard uninstall method might not delete everything that needs to be deleted, which could cause other problems during the reinstall.
Restore the d3d9.dll file from the latest DirectX software package. If the above troubleshooting steps haven't worked to solve your error, try extracting the d3d9.dll individually from the DirectX downloadable package.
Where you put the extracted d3d9.dll file depends on the application that needs it. If the DLL error tells you the specific folder where d3d9.dll is missing from, copy the file to that location. However, since most programs probably look for d3d9.dll in C:\Windows\system32\, copy the DLL file there if you're not explicitly told where to put it. Some DirectX installations might use C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ instead.
Update the drivers for your video card. While it's not the most common solution, in some situations updating the drivers for the video card in your computer could correct this DirectX issue.
If you're not interested in fixing this problem yourself, see How Do I Get My Computer Fixed? for a full list of your support options, plus help with everything along the way, like figuring out repair costs, getting your files off, choosing a repair service, and a whole lot more.

DeLand dominates Seabreeze with eye toward postseason
Nov 1, 2019 at 11:00 PM Nov 2, 2019 at 8:45 AM
The Bulldogs left no doubt in Friday's season finale.
DeLand dominated Seabreeze on both sides of the ball Friday in a convincing 38-3 victory at Spec Martin Stadium that left the playoff bound Bulldogs 7-2 and the much improved Sandcrabs at 5-5 looking forward to next year.
"Hats off to those guys," said DeLand head coach Steve Allen. "Pat (Brown) has done a wonderful job with that program, so I don't want to take anything from them, but I thought we were a little lackluster tonight. It took us a little bit but we did get it going and it's over now. We get to draw that line and we're going to the playoffs."
DeLand looked sharp on its opening drive but turned it over on a fumble at the Seabreeze 28. On their next possession the Bulldogs marched 88 yards, the last four on a Travion Dixon touchdown run up the middle for a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter.
From that point on, there was no pressure on the DeLand offense because Seabreeze was not able to mount anything offensively. The Sandcrabs didn't cross midfield until there were eight minutes left in the game.
Dixon scored again from 18 yards out early in the second quarter, and Kamar Marsh added a 41-yard field goal to give the home team a 17-0 lead at halftime.
Dixon scored his third touchdown to make it 24-0 with 5:19 left in the third quarter. DeLand added another touchdown, this one a 12-yard run from quarterback Jadyn Nirschl, to take a 31-0 lead early in the fourth quarter.
Seabreeze then mounted its one and only long drive of the game, starting from its own 30 and driving all the way to the DeLand 1 before settling on a 41-yard field goal.
The Bulldogs completed the scoring with 55 seconds left when Nirschl hit Matt Moore from 12 yards out for his only passing touchdown of the game to make it 38-3.
Allen said his team is half ready for their playoff opener next week.
"We've been outstanding on defense all year long, and we're going to have to continue that trend," said Allen. "We're good enough to play playoff caliber football on that side, but we have to get better on offense."
As for Seabreeze, a bounceback season ended in a tough road loss, but Brown was very encouraged with the season as a whole.
"We only had six seniors playing today," said Brown. "I told them I appreciated them setting the foundation for the team. They're the group that turned it around. This was a real tough team we played tonight. Number one in our area. So it was a good chance for them to see where we want to get to ourselves."

It's always a big relief for Susun when the Hilda Garden is finally planted and "put to bed" for the summer. This year, lots of volunteers showed up to plant and everything went along like clockwork. Congratulations, Susun!
The Friday Crew happily sporting their trowels with a "We Can Do It" attitude.
The Saturday crew featured Hilda's youngest flower planters ever.
Susun and Dina were really happy the way things turned out.
Naturally, Susun was (and remains) "all smiles" about how easily this year's planting came together.

What is 14/40 14K Double Clad Gold Filled Sheet?
Double Clad gold filled has a core sheet of #230 brass with layers of 14K gold on both face areas.
These three sheets of sandwiched layers are bonded (clad) together with heat and tremendous pressure.
The discs are then cut from the gold filled sheets. 1/20, (1/40 each face) or 5% of the total weight is 14K Gold.
The boarder waste scrap is then re-refined to recover its gold. We will buy back your gold filled scrap!
The precious metal layers are very thin so care must be taken not to burn or polish through them!

Billy Wilder vs Censorship | Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend, Some Like It Hot & The Apartment
This blog is being included as part of the Billy Wilder blogathon, hosted by Kellee Pratt of Outspoken and Freckled (Twitter) and Aurora of Once Upon A Screen (Twitter).
'Looking back on his American movies, it's astonishing the extent to which Billy Wilder helped change the ways in which the motion picture dealt with sexual taboos, alcoholism, murder, adultery, homosexuality and prostitution.'
- Biltereyst (2010: 145)
Throughout the 1930s and through to the 60s, Hollywood pictures had to abide by a strict code of censorship known as The Production Code. Before the age ratings system was brought in, the worry was that audience's morals would be negatively effected by films that included unnecessary amounts of violence, sex, drug use or anything else that could have an impact on the person watching. Upholding good and proper ethics was the key requirement and pictures had to be submitted for a 'seal of approval'.
Billy Wilder was an expert at defying many of the forbidden rules that were set out by this. The subversive nature of his work was evident even in his very first picture The Major and the Minor (1942), about a woman called Susan Applegate (Ginger Rogers) who disguises herself as a 12-year-old in order to get a child's train ticket. This disguise theme is one that would crop up again in Wilders filmography with Some Like It Hot (1959) and Irma La Douce (1963)... and would cause the characters similar trouble! Applegate soon catches the attention of army major Kirby played by Ray Milland, who is unaware of her true identity and, believing she is a lost child with no parents, agrees to take care of her until she finds them. Before long Applegate finds herself in love and the notion of the Major also falling for her is hinted at. Obviously the inclusion of a grown man being in love with a 12-year-old girl would have been impossible to film, even if the character was in fact a grown woman. Wilder would later describe the picture as a 'premature Lolita' in the Billy Wilder: How Did You Do It? set of televised interviews. He was able to sidestep the otherwise prohibited content because the audience was fully aware that she wasn't really a young girl, while Kirby's affection for her is merely seen as paternal. It showed how he had the nerve and skill to tackle subjects that other filmmakers would either dare not try or would outright fail to pull off with equal success.
Although a great deal of his pictures explored prohibited issues, the following blog will look at how four of his main films were effected by censorship, how they had to be changed and the ways in which he constructed them to cleverly bypass the rules that were set out.
Many consider Double Indemnity (1944) a pioneering example of film noir, by their nature such pictures had problems with the censors because of their hardboiled origins in crime fiction that dealt frankly with sexual taboos and violence. Consider for example The Big Sleep (Hawks, 1946), a film that had to be changed so much from the Raymond Chandler's novel that even the cast didn't know what was happening. Double Indemnity had similarly difficult plot points that it had to side step including suicide, violence and the sexual relationship between insurance salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) and Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck). These two characters were seen as so loathsome that no-one wanted to play the parts as it was seen as career suicide. MacMurray for example was reluctant to play Neff because he believed it would ruin the 'happy go lucky image' (Zolotow, 1977: 117) that he had established - he would again surprise audiences in his role as Jack Lemmon's slimy boss in The Apartment (1960). The motivations and actions of the two main characters would clearly pose some problems for the film.
Stanwyck looks on as her husband is strangled
The code stated that brutal killings were not to be shown in detail, which would present a problem during the scene where Neff strangles Phyllis' husband and when she's killed herself. However, Wilder let Stanwyck's acting tell the audience a story. By focussing our attention on her reactions rather than the literal murders, Wilder forced audiences to imagine the injuries taking place, thereby appeasing the censors. In both these examples we see nothing of the actual act of strangling or shooting but we know it's there.
"We knew offstage it (violence) was happening.... sex was happening offstage." - Billy Wilder (Quoted in Horton, 2001: 136)
Originally at the end of the novel, Neff and Phyllis die by way of a suicide pact, however Joseph Breen saw suicide as "a violation of natural and divine law" (Quoted in Doherty, 2007: 300). It seems that it would also be impossible to pass by censors because of the notion that they are taking their own lives as opposed to being served justice through punishment by the law - something that the Breen office wanted to uphold. Wilder originally filmed an ending which he described as one of the best two scenes he ever shot, where Neff is sentenced to death in a gas chamber while his best friend and colleague Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) looks on helplessly. There are several reasons this was not included in the final cut; firstly, Wilder believed it was unnecessary since he always put his trust in the audience. Speaking of the ending that finally did make the cut:
"I already had the exchange of looks and the lighting of the match so anymore would have just been repeating." - Billy Wilder (Quoted in Horton, 2001: 135)
He clearly thought that no more was needed as we already knew what was going to happen to Neff after his arrest. Furthermore, censors believed the gas chamber ending was 'unduly gruesome' (Naremore, 2008: 82). It would be nice to see how the scene turned out, but the remaining ending is one of the most nuanced and heartbreaking endings in a film as is perfectly encapsulates the progression of the relationship between Keyes and Neff in a simple gesture. Although it was partly Wilder's choice to remove the scene, this was an instance where the Production Code actually helped to improve the movie.
Another contentious issue was the topic of sex, not only were Neff and Phyllis unmarried, but adultery was not allowed to be explicitly stated. Hence, during the first meeting between the two and after the attraction is make obvious - we get a scene full of innuendo and double entendres:
"Phyllis: There's a speed limit in this state, Mr. Neff, 45 miles an hour.
Neff: How fast was I going, Officer?
Phyllis: I'd say around 90.
Neff: Suppose you get down off your motorcycle and give me a ticket.
Phyllis: Suppose I let you off with a warning this time"
Although Wilder was known for his quick witted dialogue, Schickel argues that imagery is the movie's 'great strength' (1992: 10). In the same scene, the camera follows the legs of Phyllis as she walks down the staircase - her anklet becomes the most memorable and lustful aspect of her appearance to Neff - "I kept thinking about the way that anklet of hers cut into her leg".
Wilder was able to suggest sex without showing it by using simple methods. Later when they both meet at his apartment, the two of them are sitting on the sofa, kissing. After a dissolve the two of them are sitting apart from each other and Phyllis is re-applying make up. Audiences weren't stupid and Wilder made the most of this - 'even the most casual movie goer knows that movies are filled with sex, crime, cruelty and violence' (Powdermaker, 1950:73)
The Lost Weekend (1945) was a revolutionary film in various different ways. It was one of the first to make use of the musical instrument called the Theremin which would be commonly used in sci fi films of the future. It was also one of the first Hollywood, post WWII films to make use of on-location shooting in New York after nearly a decade and a half (Sanders, 2013: 32). But most importantly Wilder was one of the first directors to take the issue of alcoholism seriously, so seriously in fact that that Paramount executives considered axing it because it was a 'bleak and terrifying story of the sort that Hollywood often avoided' (Monaco, 2010: 94). The studio was even offered millions of dollars by the liquor industry to bin the film... Wilder said that they should have just offered the money all to him and he'd have gotten rid of it!
The worry that the picture was too bleak led to several differences from its source material of the same name written by Charles Jackson. The most significant one being the way in which the film's ending is changed from bleak to uncharacteristically happy in comparison to the novel. However, it is one example in which Wilder was able to use his skills as a storyteller to create a deeper meaning to a film's conclusion, even when under pressure from studio opinion and preview audience preference.
"The circle is the perfect geometric figure, no end, no beginning"
After his five-day bender that would give Don Draper and Roger Sterling a run for their money, failed writer Don Birnam (Ray Milland) has lied, been humiliated, stolen money, experienced the DTs and alienated those who love him. At the end of the book it's made explicit that he's going to go through the same 'vicious little circle' all over again despite his loyal girlfriend Helen's (Jane Wyman) best efforts. After stealing and then pawning her leopard coat to buy six pints of Rye:
'He sat down on the edge of the bed and began to drink... he filled the glass again, set it on the floor by the bed and crawled in.' (Jackson, 1944: 243)
Before this Don even contemplates murdering his maid to obtain a key in order to gain access to the liquor cupboard, such a gritty ending would not have swayed well in test screenings at a time when audiences expected a comedic drunk. It is clear that a more redemptive conclusion was desirable to 'appease' (Terral, 2014:53) censors. The (seemingly) more upbeat ending was written by Wilder and Brackett because they were 'under pressure from the studio to provide an upbeat finale' (Crowley, 1994: 190) where Don remarkably gives up the bottle altogether:
'Don has risen from the couch and has picked up the glass of whiskey, there's a second of hesitation then he uses it for an ashtray, dropping the cigarette in it.' (Brackett & Wilder, 109:1944)
This is a quite drastic change and many reviewers have found it too unbelievable and one of the pitfalls of the picture. Compare this to the final scene of Days of Wine and Roses (Edwards, 1962) for example, where Jack Lemmon tries and fails to convince his better half to quit drinking, leaving him alone with his daughter. On the surface, Don's reformation appears too unrealistic to be true and an example of Wilder trying to appease audiences that were not ready for realism. But one of Billy Wilder's tips to screenwriters was influenced by his idol Ernst Lubitsch:
"Treat your audience with respect...let them add up two plus two.. they'll love you forever." - Ernst Lubitsch (Quoted in Ganz, 2011: 127)
As mentioned before, Wilder had faith in the intelligence of his audience, commenting on the final scene where Don is dissuaded from suicide and promises to stop drinking, he has said:
"We end on a note of promise, that he is going to make one more attempt to reform, but that's as far as the story goes." - Billy Wilder (Quoted in Phillips, 2010: 81)
The film repeats its opening image but in reverse, with the camera tracking back from Don's apartment window which at the start had a bottle of rye hanging from a piece of rope, a method used by Don to hide his booze from his brother. Although the bottle is no longer there it appears that there is a significant point Wilder was trying to get across by coming full circle within the picture. Just because Don says he's going to give up doesn't necessarily mean that he will, who's to say that he won't go through the exact same journey again in the next couple of days. As Bim, the nurse in the alcoholic ward says to Don - "You'll come back, they always do".
Don's favourite watering hole, Nat's Bar which is based on the real PJ Clarke's on 3rd Avenue in NY is frequented by a streetwalker named Glora, played by Doris Dowling who is as 'professional as the Breen office would allow, and they kicked up quite a fuss' (Cairns, 2012:9). While he had to tiptoe around the subject of prostitution in the 40s, Wilder was free to make the topic obvious by the time it came to Irma La Douce (1963), but that was nearly twenty years later. Gloria's occupation is obviously never directly mentioned but she regularly meets with different clients in the bar and has a soft spot for Don (she makes a habit of running her finger through the neckline of his hair when she walks past him). While the Breen office were so pre-occupied with her character, they neglected to take notice of another significant individual.
Bim the nurse: 'A leering malevolent individual that gives
homosexuality a bad name' (Phillips, 2010:79)
The reason for Don's dependance on alcohol in the book is because of his inability to come to terms with his homosexuality, however 'audiences were not prepared for any references to homosexuality in mainstream Hollywood films' (Cornes, 2006: 125). In the picture it isn't hinted to at all, instead it is his way of curing himself of his writers block. Indeed, when he is in the comfort of a bar Don is waxing lyrical about his own abilities as a writer, comparing himself to Hemingway and Shakespeare. Without a drink however, he's unable to focus on the typewriter in front of him for even a minute. The movies usually 'mocked the third sex' (Leff & Simmons, 230: 2001), with homosexuality being described as 'sex perversion' in the code. While Wilder was unable to portray the sexuality of the main character faithfully to the novel, he was able to do so to a side character. When he ends up in the alcoholic ward of the Bellevue Hospital, Don is taken care of by the aforementioned Bim (Frank Faylen). A 'contemptuous' (Jackson, 1944:128) character who mocks patients and appears to take a kind of sadistic pleasure in mocking their addiction. Bim is portrayed as a predatory individual in both the film and book (much more so in the book however, constantly addressing Don as "baby"). Wilder has said:
"I directed the actor how to play his role as a homosexual, the censor couldn't nail me on it however because I had been subtle about it." - Billy Wilder (Quoted in Phillips, 2010: 79)
Bim gives an unusual amount of attention to Don in comparison to the other regular patients, guiding him on a tour of the ward and asking for "honeyboy's" name so that the hospital can notify his loved ones where he is via a postcard. Ultimately he taunts Don relentlessly about where he is going to end up ("your folks better get used to our little postcards") and becomes one of the most memorable and interesting side characters in Wilder's filmography.
Truly one of the nails in the coffin of the Production Code, Some Like It Hot featured cross dressing, homosexuality, tommy gun massacres, double entendres, suggestive clothing and maybe the best movie ending of all time, where Jack Lemmon and Joe E. Brown practically agree to get married. Tony Curtis said that Wilder submitted the film after completion with 'some apprehension' (2009: 34) because of its subject matter. It follows two musicians played by Curtis (Joe/Josephene) and Lemmon (Jerry/Daphne) who dress as women and join an all girls band to escape some vengeful gangsters. It was eventually deemed 'highly offensive to Christian and traditional morals of morality and decency', with dialogue that was 'not only double entendre but outright smut' (Quoted in Vogel, 2014: 146) according to the Legion of Decency. It dealt head on with the taboos that were restricted in the 40s and early 50s, no longer did Wilder have to write between the lines to create a storyline with a homosexual subtext like he had to with The Lost Weekend.
In a scene that people in test screenings laughed at so loudly that they couldn't hear the dialogue, Lemmon has arrived back from his date with rich playboy Osgood Fielding (Joe E. Brown) which he attends dressed as his female alter ego Daphne. As he is sat on the bed he announces his engagement, "who's the lucky girl?" Tony Curtis asks, "I am" replies Lemmon. After this he debates whether he is going to go to the Rivera or Niagra Falls for the honeymoon... swept away in the moment and forgetting that he isn't actually a woman. Given the fact that it was a comedy, it was able to deal with homosexuality in a more open way than a drama would have been. During the Tango scene you can see the gradual progression of Daphne becoming more feminine, as she starts of accidentally leading Osgood during their dance, to, well this:
Barrios argues that the picture is a 'carnival of sexual liberation' (2003:265), it shows Lemmon's transformation from a man who is competing for Marilyn Monroe's (Sugar Kane) affections to one who embraces his new identity as a female. The other scene that accentuates this is the famous ending, when Lemmon tries to dissuade Osgood from marriage, who is oblivious to his true identity:
When Osgood reveals that it doesn't matter to him that Lemmon is in fact a man in drag, neither of them react in a negative way. Osgood is completely indifferent and Lemmon doesn't exactly object to the prospect of marrying a man. Guilbert & Dagenham argue that this reluctance 'is a way of approving the homosexual act being proposed... laughing at the masculinity crisis that was effecting America' (2007: 129).
During the aforementioned tango scene, Wilder uses whip pans to simultaneously show us the development of the relationship between Joe and Sugar. Joe, while posing as a successful millionaire, who has unfortunately had 'two ponies drowned under him' whilst playing water polo, seduces Sugar aboard a yacht after revealing that women tend to 'leave him cold'. Sugar is more than happy to try and cure him of his impotence and a few kisses later, his glasses have steamed up, Gemunden says that the themes of heat and steam permeate throughout the picture, literally and figuratively allowing the 'temperature to rise' (2008: 103).
Some Like It Hot combined this comedy with a sub plot involving murder in the times of prohibition. Again Wilder would push the boat when it came to the topic of liquor, having the all girls band getting boozed up on the train and Monroe's character sipping from a secret flask - "I don't want you to think that I'm a drinker. I can stop any time I want to - only I don't want to". Speaking of Monroe, Wilder managed to use lighting in a clever manner during her performance of I Wanna Be Loved By You - with only the upper part of her body bathed in the the spotlight. Again like the aforementioned yacht scene, the topic of sexuality was obvious for all the audience to see as she is singing in a dress that is partially see through. Ebert describes this moment as one of the most 'blatantly sexual' in all of movies, with the neckline of the dress 'scooping to a censors eyebrow north of trouble.'
Wilder originally wanted to make The Apartment after watching Brief Encounter (Lean, 1945). While the relationship between the two doomed lovers was the key emphasis of the picture, what about Alex Harvey's (Trevor Howard) friend who lends them their apartment? Wilder explores this through Jack Lemmon's CC Baxter, who lets his bosses use his bachelor pad for their own illicit affairs, earning him swift rise through the ranks of his place of employment until he is soon sharing the same floor as his boss Jeff Sheldrake (Fred MacMurray). Although his neighbour, Dr Dreyfuss (Jack Kruschen) believes he is quite the playboy because of all the women that he hears being brought back every night - Baxter is in fact an incredibly lonely individual too timid to stand up for himself. His superiors take advantage this reluctance until he discovers that elevator operator Fran Kubelik (Shirley MacLaine), whom he has a soft spot for is the mistress of Sheldrake.
Think of The Apartment as Mad Men had it been made 50 years earlier, the office parties where the employees replace the water coolers with alcohol, the Manhattan setting, the secretaries who involuntarily eavesdrop on conversations between their bosses and their mistresses, the sharp suits, the lines of identical desks full of employees diligently typing away, the flirting (or in The Apartment's case, arse pinching) in the elevators, or the fact that Baxter's television is so loaded with advertisements he can't be bothered to even watch. His office is full of philandering executives in a world where the women are relegated to secretaries or switchboard operators (Sheldrake's secretary is even called Miss Olsen!). Chandler says that it does indeed portray corporate life in 1960s America as a 'man's world' and critical comments of the film at the time described it as 'a dirty fairy tale' (Alpert, 1960: 24) and an 'immoral' piece (MacDonald, 1960 quoted in Balio, 2009 :170) that clearly wasn't interested in abiding by the code's rule that film shall 'not infer that low forms of sex relationship are the accepted or common thing'. As the 60s dawned, Wilder seemed to be pointing out the hypocrisies of the code at a time when there was about to be massive social change in America considering the sexual revolution and the introduction of the contraceptive pill were both right around the corner. The rules and regulations that were set out by the code in the 30s were now simply outdated in the wake of the new, relaxed approach to previously restricted topics. A biographer of Wilder argued that 'it's hard to believe that anybody could have been shocked by The Apartment' (Zolotow, 1977: 315).
That being said, the adultery still had to happen off screen, but there was no need to show it. A Variety magazine film critic said in their review the time: 'The dialogue, and its execution are frank. There is no hiding the fact that full fledged lovemaking is going on in these quarters' (1960). One of the funniest examples of this frank dialogue occurs on Christmas eve when Jack Lemmon is drowning his sorrows after discovering Fran's relationship with Sheldrake. As he sits at a bar that is full of other lonely and very drunk people that are looking for someone to spend the evening with, a dumb-blonde character played by Hope Holiday sits next to him and tries to get his attention:
"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring... nothin'... no action... dullsville!"
Although it has one of the most heartwarming endings, The Apartment is simultaneously known for its cynicism of American life too. The supposed 'sanctity' of marriage that had to be upheld is dismissed head on during a scene at the Christmas party when Baxter shows Fran a christmas card that he has received from Sheldrake. Showing the whole happy family gathered in their living room, including Mrs Sheldrake who is of course completely oblivious to her husbands infidelity. Fran, who really is in love with Sheldrake simply looks on helplessly. Not only are the characters in this film having affairs, but they are doing so without any remorse at all. One of the saddest moments in the picture occurs when Fran buys Sheldrake a thoughtful gift - an LP featuring the music that plays in their favourite bar. He realises that he's forgotten to get her anything, so instead just hands her some money - essentially turning her into a prostitute. With The Apartment Wilder pushed the envelope and presented a very cynical image of corporate America. It could, 'with relative ease be sold as risqué' (Leab, 2000: 4), demonstrating just how far American attitudes had come with regards to sexuality.
While some might consider the Production Code an unnecessary form of censorship that prevented any development of Hollywood film, it has been argued that necessities of it became a 'virtue' (Babington & Evans, 1989: 217) for Wilder. His process of production for example very often included going into filming without a finished script, in the case of Sunset Boulevard the studios read the as yet partial screenplay and green lit it without knowing that the film was a harsh critique of the Hollywood industry! His talent as a filmmaker and faith in allowing the audience to piece together off screen action was evident in his 40s pictures and by the time it came to Some Like It Hot, he was able to openly mock the now redundant clauses of the code.

Beautiful analysis of the subject matter of some of Wilder's greatest films, which also happen to be some of the finest motion pictures ever made. Creative artists like Wilder had to be so innovative and inventive and find ways to suggest and hint and symbolize taboo topics...and tell a story without sacrificing meaning and drama. In my opinion, these are all very frank and adult pictures, each a different and distinct genre, but Wilder uses all the tools in his arsenal, from fast-paced dialogue to double entendre to a mere sultry look or a well-placed ankle bracelet, to let the audience know what's really going on. This painstaking craft resulted in a richness of character, mood and suspense (HOW is the story going to unfold) that so few contemporary films now have...
Love this post and your blog! Glad I happened upon it!!
Fran Del Pizzo 29 February 2016 at 19:04
Thanks Chris! It was really fun to research and write - Wilder is such a genius in my opinion. The constraints that he had to work around just showed his remarkable writing and directing talents were. He's responsible both directly and indirectly for some of the best American pictures ever, so many were influenced by him.
Thank you again for reading :-)

The frustration in the air was almost tangible on Tuesday as the Mono County Board of Supervisors kicked off its afternoon session with a discussion regarding the Old Sheriff Substation.
"We have a tendency to throw burdens in the way of this business," stated Supervisor Larry Johnston as he led a discussion to allow the development of basic living quarters and a museum for the building's current occupant, Jim Ouimet, owner and operator of Mammoth Dog Teams.
Ouimet has been operating out of the Substation for nine years and did have living quarters and a museum until about three years ago. Septic and water issues were identified at the site and since then, Ouimet has been unable to open his museum to the public and has also been told he cannot have any living quarters at the site. The fate of the building, and therefore his business, has been in limbo ever since.
While the water issues still remain, Johnston championed allowing Ouimet to reopen the museum and reinstall basic living quarters on Tuesday.
"He just needs a place to lay his head, flush a toilet, and wash some dishes," Johnston said. "We can give him what he needs for cheap."
But supervisors Vikki Bauer and Hap Hazard strongly disagreed.
"The building use was abused," Hazard said, referring to alleged attempts to break into the building by Ouimet after he was told he could not be there. The break-ins led the County to board up the windows on the building. The boards remain in place today.
"The building is a disaster," Hazard continued. "It has arsenic and E. coli, and the septic system is too close to the well. History has been grossly misrepresented and amended here today."
Bauer agreed. At first she tried to politely wave the situation away by blaming the mess at the Substation on "poor direction" from the County.
"Let's wait until the three new Board members are seated in January," Bauer suggested. "I'm not interested in putting a dwelling unit in. We can't open up a can of worms of ignoring rules. Rehabbing is not the answer.
"Three weeks ago we turned down giving $100,000 to June Lake because we didn't want to fund private business," she continued. "What's different here? We need to be consistent with Board decisions, so we should wait for a new Board [before dealing with this]."
"If we're going to wait for a new Board then let's take the rest of the year off and not make any decisions," Supervisor Tim Hansen shot back. "Don't make these things insurmountable. And, Vikki, we did end up supporting June Lake."
"But it didn't go to private business," Bauer retorted (the funding will be funneled through the County's Tourism Commission). "And I don't agree with Larry."
Johnston pointed out that by January the Eastern Sierra would be in the middle of winter, which would make it difficult for the improvements to be made. He pushed again to get the ball rolling now.
Hazard, Bauer and Mono County Director of Risk Management Rita Sherman were concerned with the legalities of reopening the museum and allowing a dwelling unit, but in Johnston's opinion, "the County doesn't have to follow its regulations."
County Counsel Marshall Rudolph, however, pointed out the County does have to follow state building regulations.
Hansen and Johnston continued to push.
"We need to decide right off the bat if we want you to fail or succeed," Hansen said to Ouimet.
"How can we, at minimal cost, accommodate Ouimet at the facility," Johnston asked staff. "Let's dwell on making it work."
In his defense, Ouimet stated, "I would like to live without fear [of being shut down] and run my business. I haven't had a lease since 2008 and I've lost a lot of sponsors because of this uncertainty."
Hazard continued to be skeptical of Ouimet's financial situation. "Why are we rushing to help him when we don't know how much he has in his own pockets," Hazard told The Sheet.
Through it all, Johnston was able to build consensus amongst Hansen and Supervisor Byng Hunt, who was highly in favor of getting the museum reopened and wanted to keep the building as "rustic and simple as possible."
"At least three of us want to see minimalist accommodations for Ouimet and we want to support him to work toward full utilization of the substation," Johnston told The Sheet in a follow up phone call on Wednesday. "We want to give him a chance to sustain his business."
Consensus also included exploring the reimbursement of Ouimet for caretaker services (there hasn't been any vandalism at the Substation since Ouimet has been down there, Johnston said). This could cancel out the rent that Ouimet is supposed to pay for using the property and just end up being a wash.
Johnston said he believed there was enough in the County housing fund to make the improvements he was suggesting.
"Nothing needs to come out of the General Fund," he said. "I think we could get the safety and fire issues fixed for about $50,000."
Full remodel estimates for the building from Sherman came in just under $470,000.
Johnston and staff will meet next week to further vet the details.
"I don't know how he is as a businessman," Johnston concluded over the phone, referring to Ouimet. "I just don't want the County to be the reason he goes out of business."

Doesn't seem to me that the allowence of simple accomedations which will enable a local attraction and business to continue is even a question. Is Mammoth Lakes driving out an established concern fiscally realistic?
Get a grip and pull together.
J.Craig says:
Basic housing (a roof, running water, electricity, etc.) for the owner and sole caretaker of the Sled Dogs should be provided by the lessor, Mono County. Their health and well-being completely depends on him. This endless uncertainty for Mr. Ouimet cannot be good for him, and ultimately the Sled Dogs…The drought and the poor economy has greatly affected this unique business, as well. Additionally, Mr. Ouimet's long-term tenancy at the sub-station has undoubtedly prevented theft and vandalism to the county's heavy equipment that is parked there. This issue is a growing problem in California. Basic housing for caretaking sounds like a WIN-WIN for everyone. It is cheaper than replacing damaged or stolen heavy equipment.
Ken Warner says:
The sub-station is not in that bad a shape. Go look for yourself. The roof is good, the walls are sound. The septic tank could be fixed and water made available in a week.
Ouimet is a piece of living history. Dog teams were an important mode of transportation not too long ago. He's providing a unique tourist attraction in a tourism based economy.
I beg the County Supervisors to stop posturing and try to work through the problems now instead of kicking it down the road until there is no dog team in Mono County. Some things can't wait to be convenient for our elected leaders. Sometimes they actually have to step up and do the work.
Here's a panorama showing the desperate conditions Ouimet is forced to work under.

Isn't government supposed to help it's citizenry?
It is very, very sad. It seems as though they want this business to fail. I visited Mammoth Dog Teams kennel and museum in 2008. It was a vibrant business with a fully functioning building. It was a very warm and friendly place – dogs and people alike. Since then Ouimet has been thrown out of the building and it has been boarded up and suddenly deemed inhabitable. There has been no effort to help this longtime tenant. It took them SEVEN months to repair a water line to the building needed to provide water for the dogs . Migrant day laborers waiting outside Home Depots in So. Cal are treated better. They are provided a moderate sized stand alone building with couches, a/c and heat, clean restrooms, bottled water, and who knows what else. Ouimet is a U.S. Marines Veteran who has served our country and should be better than non-citizens. During these tough economic times we should try our best help, not hurt, one another…

1864, Sønner af de slagne er en bog skrevet af historikeren Rasmus Glenthøj.

Bogen blev udgivet i 2014 på Gads Forlag.

Bogen tegner en linje fra tabet af Norge i 1814 til nederlaget i 1864. Glenthøj argumenterer for, at slaget på Dybbøl var udtryk for, at Danmark var underlagt europæisk storpolitik og i kraft af tabet af Norge ikke havde styrke til af egen kraft at gennemtvinge de politiske løsninger, som ville kunne have afværget krigen.
