MULTIPLE MANIACS (1970) – CRITERION COLLECTION REPORT
May 23, 2017 Terri McSorley	1 Comment
DIRECTED BY: John Waters
FEATURING: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Edith Massey
Multiple Maniacs opens with Lady Divine's Calvacade of Perversion: a circus sideshow, of sorts, set up with the purpose of robbing its patrons. We spend the balance of the film watching the complete mental breakdown of central character, Lady Divine. One thing that really stood out for me on this re-watch of this old favorite is the amount of then-current event references in the film. Cookie's boyfriend Steve is a member of the radical left-wing underground organization the Weathermen; Bonnie compares amyl nitrate to sex; Lady Divine blackmails her lover Mr. David into claiming he participated in the Tate murders; and Mink fantasizes about people she'd like to kill, including Trish Nixon, Barbra Streisand and Shirley Temple Black. Multiple Maniacs is a twisted time capsule that I had long hoped to add to my DVD collection.
I lost my mind when I read Criterion would be releasing Multiple Maniacs. If that wasn't enough, Janus Films did a limited theatrical run, which I was lucky enough to see last August 2016 at the Bell Lighthouse Theatre in Toronto. I have every available Waters flick on DVD, but Multiple Maniacs would be my first acquisition on Blu-ray. Criterion DVDs and Blu-rays do come with a higher price tag, but in my experience the quality restoration and supplementary
features make it well worth it. I always invest in a Criterion version of a beloved flick if it is available. Waters was queried on the level of
restoration he wanted to see on the film, which was full-bore; clean up as much as possible. The Blu-ray features an uncompressed monaural soundtrack, and George S. Clinton's restored music is terrific. The supplements include "The Stations of Filth," an entertaining ten-minute video essay on Multiple Maniacs by film scholar Gary Needham. There are thirty-two minutes of interviews with cast and crew members Pat Moran, Vincent Peranio, Mink Stole, Susan Lowe and George Figgs. As is the case with all of Waters' older films, the entire cast of Multiple Maniacs were friends of the director. They share some great stories on working with Waters on the film. The trailer included was for the Criterion restoration release.
The real highlight here was the fabulous commentary from John Waters. Waters is hilarious; I always enjoy hearing him speak. The commentary is a funny, informative and sentimental trip through his experience making Multiple Maniacs. Watching the film with the commentary is an absolute must in my opinion. This is the first time Maniacs has been released on DVD/Blu-ray, so no comparisons to note there, but it is certainly a world away from the VHS copy I once owned. Criterion does not disappoint; the picture and soundtrack quality are more than I could ever ask or hope for, and at the end of the day this is ultimately the reason I fork out cash for Criterion. Seeing Multiple Maniacs in 4K is one of my cinematic highlights of this decade!

Jews of the Forbes 400

The Forbes 400 list of the richest people of America was released on Monday.
As expected, Bill Gates (#1) and Warren Buffet (#2) topped the list with $72 billion and $58.5 billion, respectively. But members of the tribe made notable appearances, taking up eight spots in the Top 20.
Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle Corporation nabbed the #3 spot with $41 billion; Charles and David Koch tied at #4 with $36 billion; New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made it to 10th (the four spots above were given to various Waltons, aka the Wal-Mart family) with $31 billion; Sheldon Adelson took #11 with $28.5 billion; Sergey Brin, Google CEO got #14 with $24.4 billion; George Soros, Michael Douglas' new best friend, came in at #19 with $20 billion, and finally, Mark Zuckerberg slid in at #20 with his paltry $19 billion.
Honorable mention to Ralph Lauren (#54) with $7.7 billion. That's nothing to scoff at.

I'm working in Greece. I installed the software on a Greek PC but I want the UI language to be in English. Is that possible? Should be.

No, OpenBoard takes the language of the system. If your system is in english, OpenBoard will be in english.


Our battery operated fairy lights are popular because they can be used for many occasions. For example, we use these battery operated lights in wreaths and centrepieces. What's more, they can be used in celebration displays for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and much more. LED lights last a long time and are energy efficient. These lights should be used indoor or in weather protected areas.


As a 4-year old Douglas was the Champion of Ireland in his age group. At 5, 6 and 7 years old he was a finalist at the Irish Championships. When he was six, he was Irish Reserve Champion.
Douglas competed successfully in the international 1.40m and 1.50m classes with rider Conor Swail - 2nd and 4th in Dublin, 2nd in the B&R 1.40m Grand Prix, 3rd in the Dunlaoghaire 1.50m Grand Prix and 6th in the Rolestown 1.40m Grand Prix. Unfortunately, a serious injury ended Douglas' sport career.
Offspring of Douglas are performing at the highest level. Suma's Zorro participated at the World Equestrian Games in Normandy 2014, won the Grand Prix of San Giovanni in Marignano and was third in the Spruce Meadows Grand Prix. Dougie Douglas won the Grand Prix and Nations Cup of Odense in one weekend. The latter also won the Grand Prix of Chepstow, was second in the GP Vejer de la Frontera, third in the GP Millstreert and third in the Nations Cup of Gijon. Douglas Hill took second in the GP Vidauban and sixth in the GP Mullingar. The Pugilist ended up second in the GP of Lyon and sixth in the GP Madrid. Dundalk ended up seventh in the GP of Lier. Carneyhaugh Manx was three times second in the GPs of HITS on the Hudson Circuit in the United States and as a young horse he was Champion of the American East Coast League for seven and eight year old horses. Neat Krakatoa was seventh in the GP of Valkenswaard.
Other successful international show jumpers are: Abbervail Lightening, Abbervail Amber, Ardragh Grandslam, Be Be, Boleybawn Perfection, C'Est la Vie, Coral Springs, Curra River, Curra Glas, Darling HDH, Delano, Dirk HDH, Dollanstown, Evangeline, Fly With Me, Honeylands Douglason, Houpette, Mr. Rockefeller, Payday, Star Carrow Douglas, Rincoola Black Adder, Vinny Douglas, etc.
Douglas has several approved sons: Dallas VDL, D'Inzeo and Camillo VDL. As a five year old Camillo VDL became Irish Champion of his age and won the championship for five years olds in Dublin and was a finalist at the World Championship for six years old horses in Lanaken.
At auctions, Douglas offspring are sought after. In Wellington at the WEF Sport Horse Auction, Excel was sold for $150,000, Douplesse for $130,000 and Discovery for $145,000. In 2011, Colorado brought €340.000 the top seller of the Expo Talent Sale. At the Jumping Talent Sale Daddy Cool was sold for € 300.000.
Daughter Dolivia was Champion of the Open Friesian Championship for Free Jumping - 4-year old division and in 2011 she earned 85 points for her IBOP test.
At the National Free Jumping Championship 2010, the Douglas daughter Cirnanda, became the Dutch Champion. Daughter Classica VDL was 2nd in the Iron Springs Farm Cup for 5-year old jumpers at the KWPN-NA Inspections in the USA.
Thanks to the outstanding performances of his offspring Douglas received the predicate 'Prestatie-Fok' of the NRPS studbook.
Douglas meets the Sport, PROK and Roaring criteria of the KWPN.
Douglas: Passes on his own qualities and safeguards the valuable Darco genes.


Knob Wall is a great route to take neophyte climbers. Like the name says, it's easy climbing on plentiful jugs, and it's a nice long route with a great view of the valley below. Knob Wall is also a good choice for new trad leaders, who can sew it up with gear and learn how to sling horns as well.
Starting just left of a large boulder, climb the face to a small ledge (little to no pro in the first 15'). Follow the jugs and horns up to anchors at the top.
Starts just around the corner from White Gold, not far down the trail from Misty.
Small to medium gear, plus slings for the horns. Bolted anchors (or shuts) at the top.
This route was my first outdoor Ascent!

@Alex, Any reasonably in shape adult will have zero chance of falling on the first 20 feet, its fine. There's not much gear, but also "run out" is a little too strong a word for a place where you can stand without putting your hands on the wall.

Arizona Democrats help pass resolution to limit Trump's war powers
Ronald J. Hansen
Arizona's House delegation was divided on a resolution seeking to prevent President Donald Trump from further using the military against the government of Iran unless he begins consulting Congress.
The Thursday vote, 224-194, passed largely along party lines and capped a dramatic week when the United States and Iran seemed at the edge of war.
Many Democratic House members remained troubled that Trump ordered a drone strike that killed Iran's top general in Iraq and passed the non-binding resolution in an effort to rein in the president.
Eight of Arizona's House members voted with their parties. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., planned to support the resolution, but had a temporary medical emergency and could not vote.
The five-page resolution, sponsored by Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., seeks to enforce the 1973 War Powers Act, and is similar to a measure moving in the Senate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced the vote would come Thursday after many in her party remained skeptical about Trump's drone attack even after an intelligence briefing outlined the administration's justification for killing Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, the powerful Quds Force leader who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans.
Republicans cast the effort as a swipe at Trump's powers following a successful effort at eliminating a man who was behind "imminent" threats to the U.S.
Arizona's House members split into their party corners over the issue.
"Congress has for too long abdicated its responsibility concerning the conflict in the Middle East," said Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz. "Today I voted to make it clear that Congress must assert its role in the discussion surrounding violent conflict with Iran. The American people deserve to be heard."
Rep. Tom O'Halleran, D-Ariz., said the resolution reaffirms the role of Congress in declaring war. He also wants an update to other uses of military force.
The resolution "prevents the executive branch from acting unilaterally in response to the developing situation with Iran, while preserving the president's power to act in self-defense of the nation if a future attack against US forces were to occur," he said.
"Today, I am also calling on Congress to revise the authorizations for use of military force (AUMF), that were enacted in 2001 and 2002. ... New developments demand that the AUMF is carefully reevaluated and adapted to reflect current geopolitical circumstances."
Kirkpatrick said Trump lacked a clear strategy on managing the problems with Iran.
"As Members of Congress, our top priority is to keep Americans safe at home and abroad. We have serious concerns about the Trump Administration's decision to engage in hostilities and their apparent lack of strategy," she said in a pair of tweets.
"I believe a lot more oversight is needed with these high tensions and the administration has responsibility to consult with Congress."
Rep. David Schweikert, R-Ariz., said he, too, wants to preserve congressional approval of war, but said the House resolution didn't do that.
"If we want to take Congress's constitutional authority to declare war seriously, the House should have drafted a strong, binding resolution," he said in a tweet. "This resolution does not have the force of law, which is why I voted no."
Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Ariz., rejected the need for such a resolution, saying Trump has used his authority responsibly and already made Americans safer by killing Soleimani.
"The world now knows that (former President Barack) Obama's appeasement strategy, policies, including giving billions of dollars to Iran, is over. It didn't work," Lesko said on the floor of the House. "The world knows that when President Trump says, we're not going to cross this red line, they know he means it."
Lesko's vote was no surprise. The conservative House Freedom Caucus, which is headed by Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., and includes all four of the state's GOP members, announced its opposition to the resolution earlier in the day.
The caucus' members "agree that the power to declare war is granted by the Constitution to Congress alone and further agree that a genuine, principled debate about the existing Authorizations for Use of Military Force is long overdue," it said in a statement.
"However, rather than engage with these serious questions, this resolution is a blatantly partisan attempt to diminish President Trump."
Biggs offered his own reason for opposing the resolution:
"House Democrats have commenced 2020 the same way they ended 2019: harassing President Trump's actions as commander in chief," he said.
Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., said the resolution wasn't a serious effort to check executive power.
"Let's have a real conversation about Congress' authority instead of wasting time on these meaningless resolutions," he said in a tweet.
Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., saw the vote as another step toward protecting the Constitution.
"Congress reasserted itself as a coequal branch of government after Trump's reckless strike on Iran," he said. "We do not want a war with Iran, and I will continue to advocate for diplomacy while opposing the President's attempts to thrust us into another endless war in the Middle East."
Eleven House members — eight Democrats and three Republicans — crossed the aisle to cast votes with the other party.
Rep. Max Rose, D-N.Y., a veteran, said he didn't view the resolution as having much effect on the nation's commander in chief. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said, "If our service members have the courage to fight and die in these wars, Congress ought to have the courage to vote for or against them."
Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman said the House move affects Trump, but gets at the bigger issue of presidential power.
"This is an issue that transcends Trump. We don't know who the president or the president after that will be," he said. "Some of them will be good. Some of them will be not so good. But the fundamental point is, especially in a nuclear age, it's not up to one person to make this decision without consultation."

The weather is finally behaving therefore last weekend my siblings and I took a day trip to Annapolis!
The first stop on the tour was lunch at Cantler's Riverside Inn. We had a bucket of mussels and a platter of seafood goodness. This was my first experience of eating this amount of seafood and it was delicious!!!
Then we grabbed some delicious sweets from Caroline's Cakes. The seven layer cake is famous – Oprah loves it – therefore I had to try it! We had the cake along with a red velvet cupcake for my brother. They were both just divine!
Afterwards we walked around historic Annapolis and took in the sites. It was the perfect spring day to just walk around and do nothing.
Last stop on our visit was the US Naval Academy. We walked the grounds and and took loads of pictures (sibling picture below)! It is a definite must see if you take a trip to Annapolis.

Light-hearted on-topic banter in our own virtual pub! Nuggets of humour found here!!
During the late 70's early 80's a man from Gloucestershire became fairly famous for writing a children's book called Masquerade, this book also contained a treasure hunt which was eventually solved but by what appear to have been under unsportsmanlike conditions, in other words they cheated.
Here is the link to the program, watch out for OJO at about the 4 min. 26 sec. mark.
I don't think you can get iPlayer outside of the UK due to the licence fee, but you sure as hell can in Holborn.
I don't remember reading anywhere that OjO was in the habit of hanging out with crustacians in the buff.
Ooops! I realised later that I had the wrong time so I adjusted it by a few seconds, ill try and get the actually picture up.
That's definitely the OjO hottie and diabolical vixen that Danny and I had in mind while writing "The Oak Island Code". (Number One on the New York Times best-seller list for 26 straight weeks). And she's the same one who currently appears in the ongoing saga of "A Fistful of Dullards".
PS: Does she have a sister?

Surely Joke Island isn't big enough for two OjO's?


In an endeavour to utilise as much of a resource as possible, when I first started making guitar cases out of old woollen blankets, I expanded into totes and satchels, which led me to create my RESCUED AND REPURPOSED product range. I chose to work with kangaroo leather for the bag straps and closures, as I came across a tannery that specialised in tanning roo skins and cutting lacing out of them, the remaining pieces (the limbs) were of no use to them so I saw potential in rescuing these too… just like the blankets. In expanding on my leather work skills I have also stemmed into working with hair on hide which is still based on the skill of sewing but just with a different medium.
For years I have been talking to customers about the quality and benefits of old woollen blanket material, it's insulating and protective as an instrument case, it breaths and water beads on the surface rather than penetrating… along with the fact that these character filled blankets should be treasured rather than discarded. With the introduction of kangaroo leather to my range many conversations have been had about the benefits of roo hide, with it being light weight yet strong, along with numerous conversations about the benefit of using this rescourse, especially with the culling of kangaroos in our country. It's far better to use the flesh and hide than just let them go to waste… also far better than opting to use a man made product that is not environmentally friendly in place of a natural fibre!
Before making my hair on hide vest I only had a synthetic fur vest which I bought second hand and adored… it's a rather fun, faux shaggy goat hair… I wore that vest a lot over the past 2-3 years. Vests are great if you just need to break the chill and keep your core warm, but the difference between wearing the synthetic vest lined in a synthetic opposed to a natural fibre unlined vest is phenomenal… the natural fibre breaths and does not make you sweat as easily for starters. Recently I wore my kangaroo hair on hide vest on a day that would be considered too hot for fur, but I wore it almost all day, granted I was wearing a light weight sleeveless top underneath it, but I am certain had I worn my synthetic vest instead I would have had to take it off much sooner.
Nature has things all worked out, it knows how to keep things in balance, it's what we humans do to it that throws it out of whack. It concerns me that some people are opting to use manmade materials in the name of stopping animals from being harmed and yet overlook the impacts the production of these materials are having on the communities that reside within the area of those factories, as well as the impact this having on our environment. The tanning of leather using the vegetable tanning process is not as harmful to the environment as the production of plastic based products… plus leather is biodegradable, while polyurethane is not at 500 years to breakdown! Before opting to buy a polyurethane garment in place of a natural fibre like leather, because you think it's not fair on the animal ask yourself is this material actually healthy for me to wear… and are the lives of others along with the preservation of our environment not important too?
PS. Happy Earth Day… let's work together on preserving this beautiful planet we call home… for us, our children, our global community & animal kingdom alike!

Call it a worldwide market or a shrinking international economic system, outlets are increasingly focusing on global customers and franchisees to mark profits or even assist keep afloat. Worldwide providers like international Checkout and 51 provide shops with a international customer base by using coping with the entire export process for them.

While consumers are required to pay worldwide outlets thru credit card or Pay buddy, Pakistan-primarily based organizations provide more than one channels of payment, which include twine switch and C.O.D. (coins-on-transport), for customers uncomfortable with supplying their credit score card information. Along with shipping to clients inside Pakistan, a few agencies additionally deliver global.

text: Q: Does Jupyter Notebook have a file rename hook? I've written a custom pre_save_hook that's similar to the one that the Jupyter Notebook docs provide. The one I've written adds metadata to a notebook when the notebook is saved. However, the pre_save_hook doesn't seem to get called when a notebook is renamed. Is there something similar to the pre_save_hook for renaming a notebook?
