After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the bird collectibles in that row. You still level up in this hobby but the hobby level up percentage isn't important as the bird collectibles don't unlock depending on your level, when you finish a row of bird collectibles you will unlock the ability to find the birds in the next row.
I just have to say that I love that you respond to all the comments, regardless of the language they're in.
My sims freeplay seems to have a bug. I completed the park and swim center birds to unlock the community center ones, but the bench is not there. So I used the lucky spin and unlocked the snow park bench. That one is there. So I am missing the community center one. Do you know why this could be?
I'm sorry I don't know why it isn't working, have you definitely found all the birds you need to unlock it?
I have unlocked all the birds from the park and the pool center. The snow park bench still won't unlock. Is there a bug ??
Hi, I finished up collecting all of the birds, and now I can't find the prize (parrot in cage).
Is this in the inventory somewhere? When I go to the "pets" it shows it costs 10 LP although the first one should be for free.
The first one should be free, maybe they have changed it since the update have you looked in the pets section of the inventory?
By the way, I love your posts! I always come here whenever I need help 🙂 Thank you!
Thank you 🙂 I'm glad I could help!
Wow, I didn't know you are Chinese. 🙂 I love your site! It's the best Sims Freeplay guide out there! Thanks for all your help!
i finish it today at the time! is this the last quest ?
Please help! I completed the bird feeding quest awhile back (before in stitches quest).
strange, have you completed the bird feeding quest?
have you completed the bird feeding quest yet?
Just wanted 2 say thx 4 this blog!! It's really helped me a lot!!
you have to be at the community center to find the birds at the community center.
When you unlock all the benches you still have to go to the specific place to find all 3 birds there, but when you unlock the bench for your homes you can then find all the birds at one bench, if you pick the 10 minute option you will find the park birds on that bench, 1 hour will be the second row and so on.
Hint, try and find a neighbour with a bird feeding bench, these are 2* so you can do all the tasks quicker ie 11 hours not 12 hours at snow park. And they are all birds in 1 place. Just working towards my bench myself now.
Can this hobby be done at a friends house?
I completed the hobby and the parrot isn't showing up in the pets section! If it's a glitch what do I do?
Hi I just started this quest, and it says, search a tree at a house for birds? Am I looking for a birdhouse somewhere?
no this hobby doesn't have a time limit fortunately!
Hi. I just started the hobby with one of my seniors (I've completed the Life Dreams & Legacies quest) but the only bench available is the one at the park that takes 10 minutes. And I have no time for my seniors to keep doing this every 10 minutes to complete their Life Dream. Why aren't the benches at the snow park or the swin center showing anymore?
I'm glad I could help and you're welcome!
Where do you feed birds at the snow park ?
At the bench in front of the cabin at the snow park.


The Pebble SDK 2.0 and the app store for Pebble smartwatch users have been officially announced to arrive in early 2014.
While far less popular than its notorious competitors from Samsung or Sony, the Pebble smartwatch is a gadget with a competitive price and attractive features, its ePaper display and lack of touch controls helping it to provide increased autonomy and reliability. The device is already compatible with plenty of third party apps, but it does not have an app store to help its users find and install them as easy as possible.
Fortunately, Pebble has announced that "early next year" the Pebble app store and the Pebble SDK 2.0 will go live. For users, this app will offer a well organized and easy to use "software library" that "will be included in the official Pebble smartphone application and will be the first place where Pebble users look for Pebble apps." Obviously, developers will find the Pebble app store to be the best way to distribute and promote their applications to end users.
The Pebble app store will include additional watch faces, as well as 6 app categories: Daily, Remotes, Sports & Fitness, Notifications, Tools & Utilities, and Games. The Pebble smartwatch is currently priced at $150 but can be purchased from Amazon for only $120 and offers support for both Android and iOS devices.

Q: Let $R$ an ordered ring, with $a,b\ge 0$ and $a^n=b^n$ with $n\in\Bbb N_{>0}$. Prove that $b=a$
Let $R$ an ordered ring, with $a,b\ge 0$ and $a^n=b^n$ with $n\in\Bbb N_{>0}$. Prove that $b=a$.

Ring, in this context, dont mean that exist a multiplicative identity. Some people call these structures as rng instead of ring to differentiate them.
The axioms of order for a ring are the same that for a field, i.e.
$$a>b\implies a+c>b+c\tag{OR1}$$
$$a,b>0\implies ab>0\tag{OR2}$$
where $a<b\iff a\le b\land a\neq b$ and $\le$ is a total order. And $a^ka=aa^k$ due to the fact that the multiply operation is associative.
My try: I tried by contradiction. Let $a^n=b^n$ and $a\neq b$, without lose of generality suppose that $a>b$. Then:
$$\begin{align}&a>b\implies a-b>0 &\text{(inverse of addition, OR}1)\\&a\ge0\implies a^k\ge0 &\text{(associativity, OR}2)\end{align}$$
But Im unable to get something useful from here. Can you help me please?

EDIT: Eureka! I solved it. Check the proof please and let some alternative proof if you want/know.
Some important rules of ordered rings:

*

*We have that $a0=0$ still holds in rings without multiplicative identity, due to the fact that

$$a0=a(0+0)=a0+a0\implies a0=0\tag{TH1}$$

*Due to OR1 we have that if $c<0$ then $-c>0$. Then for some $a>0$ we have by OR1 that $a(-c)>0$ what implies by OR1 and distributivity that $ac<0$. Then we conclude that

$$a>0\text{ and } b<0\implies ab<0\tag{TH2}$$

*If $a<0$ and $b<0$ by TH2 we can see that $ab>0$. Then we have that if $c>0$ then

$$c>c-c\implies  c^2>c^2+c(-c)\implies c(-c)=(-c)c=-c^2\tag{TH3}$$
Proof by induction over n:
(Base case) Due to the notational rule $c^j c^k=c^{j+k}$ for $j,k\in\Bbb N_{>0}$ we have that $c^2=c\cdot c$, meaning that $c^1=c$ for all $c\in R$. Then
$$a^1=b^1\iff a=b$$
(Induction hypothesis) Assume that is true that if $a^n=b^n$ then $a=b$.
(Induction step) We want to prove that $a^{n+1}=b^{n+1}$ implies $a=b$ based in the hypothesis above and the properties of ordered rngs.
If $a^{n+1}=b^{n+1}$ then by associativity $a^na=b^nb$ and using the induction hypothesis, distributivity and TH3 we have
$$a^na=b^nb\iff b^na=b^nb\implies b^na-b^nb=0\implies b^n(a-b)=0\tag{*}$$
Then I will prove that (*) implies that $a=b$.

*

*Note that the case where $b^n=0$ is trivial: $b^2$ cannot be positive or negative due to OR2 and TH2, so $b=0$. Then cause $b^n=a^n$ we get that $a=b=0$.

*The case $b^n<0$ is impossible because $a,b\ge 0$ by definition and OR2.

*If $b^n>0$ and $a-b>0$ we have that $b^n(a-b)>0$ due to OR2 that contradicts (*).

*If $b^n>0$ and $a-b<0$ we have that $b^n(a-b)<0$ due to TH2 that contradicts (*).
Then in all cases the unique solution is that $a=b$, and the induction is complete. Q.E.D.

A: Another way: $$0=a^n-b^n=(a-b)\left(\sum_{i+j=n-1}a^i b^j\right )$$ If $a\ne b$ you have WLOG $a-b\gt 0$ and the sum of positives cannnot be zero in a (complet) ordered ring (any finite ring is (complet) ordered) so you could have a product of positives equal to zero which is not true.

A: First I show that $b > a \ge 0$ implies $b^n > a^n$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}_{>0}$.
It's clearly true for $n=1$. Suppose $b^n > a^n$ for some $n$. Then
$$b^{n+1} - a^{n+1} = b^n b - b^n a + b^n a - a^n a = b^n (b-a) + (b^n - a^n) a > 0$$
since $b^n > 0$, $b-a > 0$, $b^n - a^n > 0$, and $a \ge 0$. Then the proof is complete by induction.

Now if $a \ne b$, then either $a > b$ or $b > a$; in either case, the above shows that $a^n \ne b^n$.

These lamps are gorgeous! I ended up sending them back because they were bigger than I expected. I didn't look at the measurements closely enough when I purchased them. In my opinion, these would look best in a living room or on a long dresser. I tried to put them on nightstands beside the bed and they were just overwhelming. My nightstands are 32" across and the lamps seemed to eat most of the space. The quality of the lamps was great and I am truly disappointed they didn't work in my space. The look of the lamps could easily fit farmhouse or beachy decor and appear as though a skilled decorator thoughtfully selected them.
Let your room shine with the addition of this modern, 31-inch high, Glass & Iron table lamp. It has a Cotton shade that delivers bright ambient lighting. Add an vibrant flair to any room with its Clear finish.

Having developed a love of fine shoes late in life, it was upon wearing a newly-acquired pair of red velvet Marc Jacobs heels that Lauren met Joe – or rather Joe spied Lauren's red shoes – as she crossed the road to attend a plush London soiree.
It so happened that Joe was also attending the same event and spent the rest of the evening trying to find the owner of the red shoes…eventually, after much searching, he did and they hit it off immediately. The rest, as they say, is history and Lauren and Joe were married in the incredible grounds of 'La Sorgente di Francesca' – a lovingly-restored Borgo dating back to 1400, which nestles gently in the rolling Tuscan hills of the ancient village of Fiesole, just outside Florence.
Before the wedding. the couple were photographed around Florence with Lauren wearing her red shoes in a nod to how they first met. The following day, wearing an elegant, beaded strapless dress, gardenias in her hair and carrying a bouquet of cream roses, gardenias and jasmine. Lauren married Joe in a suit he had handmade in Venice with a Scottish thistle as his button-hole.
Following an intimate ceremony, their guests enjoyed an aperitivo of local delicacies and fine wine and relaxed by the poolside in the warm afternoon sunshine, as the sound of jazz filled the air. After the official photographs to take in the beautiful surroundings and Tuscan scenery, the couple and their guests were piped into dinner by a Scot's piper before dining of a feast of Italian specialities at a square table decorated with sunflowers.
Later in the evening after the sun had gone down, the courtyard became their dance floor – where the jazz band took to the stage once more to entertain Lauren, Joe and their guest as they danced under the stars.
What a gorgeous wedding! Mazel tov Lauren and Joe!

Q: current back flow? I have four mini generators run by a blower.  Each generator generates about 2 to 3 volts.  When I connect all the four generators I get about 10-11 volts of AC.  I convert the AC into DC using a bridge rectifier and get about 9-10 DC volts.
The moment I connect the DC into a 3 or 6 volt DC motor the four generators slow down or stop. What is happening here and how do I correct it?

A: You are witnessing the loading of your generators. It's one of the things that ruins perpetual motion schemes such as connecting a generator to your car to power the electic motor that's driving it. The electrical load on your generators will put a mechanical load on their rotation and slow them down.
You have another problem too. You are series connecting four alternators that are not synchronised in phase. If they are running slightly different frequencies then they will "beat" as they go in and out of phase with each other.

Figure 1. The sum of two sinewaves of different frequency. The "beat" is the difference between the two frequencies. Sourc: Vibration School.
If your voltages were a bit higher I would recommend rectifying and smoothing each generator but with such low voltages the diode losses will probably be unacceptable.

Figure 2. Conversion of each alternator output to DC solves the phasing problem but voltage drops on the bridge rectifiers will be very significant at low output voltages.

Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment take Batman fans on a journey into the iconic past with the full-length animated Batman feature film – Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. The film features the vocal performances of Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman).

It's back to the 1960s as Batman and Robin spring into action when Gotham City is threatened by a quartet of Batman's most fiendish foes – Penguin, The Joker, Riddler and Catwoman. The four Super-Villains have combined their wicked talents to hatch a plot so nefarious that the Dynamic Duo will need to go to outer space (and back) to foil their arch enemies and restore order in Gotham City. It's a truly fantastic adventure that will pit good against evil, good against good, evil against evil … and feature two words that exponentially raise the stakes for both sides: Replicator Ray. Holy Multiplication Tables!
Adam West steps behind the microphone to bring Batman to fully animated fruition. Burt Ward joins the fun as Batman's sidekick, Robin, giving The Boy Wonder his voice in animated form. And Julie Newmar, star of stage (Tony Award winner for The Marriage-Go-Round) and screen (Seven Brides for Seven Brothers), dons her feline ears to bring Catwoman to life.
Rick Morales (LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes – Justice League: Cosmic Clash) directs from a script by Michael Jelenic (Teen Titans Go!) and James Tucker (Justice League vs. Teen Titans). Tucker and Jelenic also serve as Supervising Producer and Producer, respectively, on the film. Sam Register is Executive Producer. Benjamin Melniker and Michael Uslan are Executive Producers.

The Greatest Game Ever Played DVD Review
Based on the real-life victory by amateur golfer Francis Ouimet, The Greatest Game Ever Played is one of the latest Disney movies to hit DVD. Find out what Kidzworld has to say about it!
The Greatest Game Ever Played - Disney Dude
The former star of Disney Channel's Even Stevens, Shia LaBeouf, stars in another Disney project by portraying Francis Ouimet in The Greatest Game Ever Played. Francis was the son of a working-class family, and made money growing up by working as a caddie at the local country club's golf course. He fell in love with the game, despite being forbidden from playing on the course (only wealthy members had that priviledge). But, that didn't stop Francis from perfecting his game. He would practice his swing in his back yard, stay up late and putt into cups in his bedroom and of course hang out at the local golf shop whenever he could!
The Greatest Game Ever Played - Fight For Your Right to... Golf?
Despite the challenges that faced him, Francis Ouimet wasn't about to let society tell him he couldn't play golf. So, when a country club member proposed that he play in an upcoming tournament, Francis jumped at the chance. He had to come up with $50 to enter, so he struck a deal with his hard-nosed dad. His dad would lend him the money only if he promised to give up golf forever if he lost. Francis agreed and set out to win! Unfortunately, luck was not on Francis' side and he lost. So, he made good on his promise and gave up golf.
The Greatest Game Ever Played - US Open
Obviously the movie couldn't end like that! What kind of Disney movie would that be? Even though Francis gets away from the world of golf for a while, a guy with his kind of talent couldn't sit on the sidelines forever. A year after that first tournament Francis was approached to enter the US Open and how could he say no? Things get tense with him and his dad, but that doesn't stop him from giving it his all. Think a kid from the wrong side of the tracks can make his dreams come true?
The Greatest Game Ever Played - DVD Features
Get a behind-the-scenes look at The Greatest Game Ever Played being filmed with the View From the Gallery featurette and learn more about the famous Francis Ouimet with the From Caddy to Champion featurette. There's also commentary from both director, Bill Paxton, and writer, Mark Frost. There's also a feature about the game of golf that all fans of the game will want to check out.
The Greatest Game Ever Played - Bottom Line
Golf isn't the most riveting of sports but The Greatest Game Ever Played will certainly have you on the edge of your seat. Shia LaBeouf is awesome in this role - really making Francis Ouimet a guy that you wanna root for. It's a little sad at parts, but Francis' comic caddie sidekick brings lots of laughs as well. An all around feel-good movie that everyone can enjoy!

Trying to include more fish and seafood in your diet can be confusing. Fish is healthy and nourishing, and I love to cook and eat it. But whenever I think about the environmental impacts of both farming and overfishing I feel torn. I am not the only one with these concerns, as was made clear by the recent Too Few Fish in the Sea Room For Debate feature.
Arlin Wasserman leads the Sustainable Business Leadership Council at the Culinary Institute of America and is the founder of Changing Tastes, which works with food and agriculture companies as well as venture and philanthropic investors to realize new opportunities that bring together sustainability, public health and culinary trends. During a presentation he made at the Worlds of Healthy Flavors Conference he suggested that one way the food service industry can deal with overfishing is to branch out and serve more than the "four favorite" species – tuna, cod, salmon, and shrimp. This is wise advice for the home cook, too.
So this week I made five different fish dishes and did not use any of the favorite four. I turned, as I always do, to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch pocket guide (they also have an app) for advice about best choices and good alternatives, and bought my fish from a fishmonger at my farmers' market, from Trader Joe's, and from Whole Foods. I avoided farmed fish, especially farmed fish from far away. The species I cooked included local Pacific sole, mahi mahi, arctic char, and Pacific halibut. Other good seafood choices are clams and mussels, striped bass, sardines, and rainbow trout.
A fish piccata of sorts, this dish is easy to make and the sauce is perfect for delicate fish like sole or flounder, as well as more robust fish like swordfish.
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil or butter one or two baking dishes large enough to accommodate the fish fillets in one layer. Lay the fish in the dish(es) and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small or medium skillet and add the shallot. Cook, stirring, until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the wine to the pan, bring to a boil, and pour the wine and shallots over the fish. Return the skillet to the stove (make sure the heat is off) for later use. Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or 5 minutes for each 1/2 inch of thickness, until the fish is opaque and pulls apart easily with a fork.
3. While the fish is in the oven, whisk together the garlic, capers, lemon juice and olive oil. You can also mash the garlic in a mortar and pestle and work in the capers, lemon juice and olive oil, though I prefer the capers chopped, even some intact, and not puréed.
4. When the fish is done remove it from the oven and carefully transfer to a platter or plates. Cover and keep warm. Pour the liquid in the baking dish into the skillet and turn the heat on high. Reduce, stirring often, to about 1/4 cup – it should be thick – and stir in the garlic and caper mixture and the parsley. Whisk together, taste and adjust seasoning, pour over the fish and serve.
Advance preparation: This is all pretty last minute, but you can prep the sauce before you begin cooking the fish.

Q: Right out of the box, my HP laptop displays "disk (SMART event) is at risk" error in Intel Optane Memory and Storage
My Lapop Information:
HP 14t-dq200
i5-1135G7 + Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics
8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (2x4GB)
512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 Value SSD
S.M.A.R.T. Information from CrystalDiskInfo:

I searched for a solution online. Some have suggested an error check on my disk.

I did that, but I still couldn't resolve the issue. I've contacted HP technical support, their tech support personnel deleted files in %temp%. They viewed the Reliability Monitor. But they were not able to resolve the issue... Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
My main concern is whether this is a serious problem (As Tonny mentioned "the SSD can fail completely at any time")
UPDATE:
Today Intel Optane Memory and Storage reported this error 5 times in a short duration of time. Now my D and E partitions have disappeared.

Replying to harrymc:
It's weird. When I looked in the Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management software, it shows me the driver version is 18.6.1.1016. Is this the RST driver information?

The link you sent me shows that the latest driver is 17.11.0.1000. Does that mean my computer has a newer driver than the Intel website? Or that's not the right place to look for RST driver information?

A: So essentially the M.2 SSD in your laptop is not just an SSD, but also contains a 16 GB RAM chip that acts as an extra disk-cache.
The Optane driver software glues these together so Windows considers the combination to be a single device.
Now the Optane software thinks there is an error, but a SMART test on the SSD part is fine.
This indicates a problem with the RAM cache, which will usually not go away by itself. And it may get worse suddenly.
First of all: Make a backup of anything important on that laptop as the SSD can fail completely at any time if this problem gets worse.
(And personally I would not consider this laptop to be reliable at all with this error.)
Try updating all bios/firmware/drivers with the latest version from the HP website. Sometimes a thing like this is a glitch that disappears with an update, so that may help.
It it doesn't go way after updates call HP again and make this a warranty issue. Get the SSD replaced. (That also means a re-install of Windows. Another reason for the backup I mentioned.)
If the helpdesk isn't very helpful be persistent and get this escalated.
They should replace the SSD under warranty. A recurring error like this is just unacceptable.

A: Samsung
lists
your disk as a normal NVMe SSD disk.
As you don't have Intel SSD with Optane in your laptop, the
Intel Optane Memory and Storage Management is irrelevant for you and
should be uninstalled. The notifications are just bogus.
The SMART data of your disk shows that it is in absolutely perfect shape
with not even the least error event.
However, the data lists 11 "Unsafe Shutdowns". These mean that power
was brutally cut to the disk, the firmware trying to save data with
the last electric resources in its accumulators.
As you have lost two partitions, it seems that the power cuts were not
totally recovered by the firmware.
I would suggest examining the power problem on your end.
I don't know if the computer is being turned off at the mains,
but it should rather be shut down in a regular manner.
If the electric supply in your environment is irregular, you should
protect the computer with a UPS.
If you don't have any electric problems at your place, the only conclusion
left is that the disk is defective and should be replaced.

A: A "SMART event" suggests a SMART value reported by the HDD itself has crossed a threshold, i.e. a potential hardware issue (dozens of SMART values are typically monitored). Unless the value in question relates to bad sectors, it won't show up with a chkdsk scan.
Try checking the drive with CrystalDiskInfo to see which one it is: https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/
You may also want to run the on board HP diagnostics, make sure the tests include the HDD (I think they're in the default set though). I would be suspicious of a system drive that spits out errors, and diagnostics results should help you get HP to replace it under warranty.


Challenge Detroit – Can I have a #3 with a side of sustainability?
Can I have a #3 with a side of sustainability?
It's time for personal impact projects! Working on a design thinking project without a team is slightly overwhelming but also exciting. We started to think about impact projects about 3 months ago. At that time, I had no idea what I wanted to do. There is so much I am interested in and there are so many issues that need to be addressed. Would I focus on a community, social justice, food equity, storytelling? Trying to narrow a focus was an exercise in futility, so I took a different angle. Rather than focusing on an issue, what if I focused on my personal impact? What issue could I have the most personal impact on? Then it came to me so easily: sustainability! Perfect, I now had an issue. I would look at sustainability through a three lens perspective: environment, social, and economic/governance. After identifying an issue and lens, I needed to identify a need. Are Detroiters thinking about social, environmental, and economic sustainability? If not, should they? This is where my project partner came in. I am working with the Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP). DDP is a non-profit organization focused on facilitating collaboration with business owners, residents, and non-profits to support a thriving Downtown Detroit. DDP was already looking at environmental sustainability in Downtown Detroit and already identified needs; restaurants are interested in more sustainable waste disposal. Out of this idea grew the scope of my personal impact project. I will be developing a sustainability toolkit for restaurants in Downtown Detroit. This may sound terrible, but for the time I am excited to start empathy. I can't wait to hear about sustainability from the perspective of restauranteurs, customers, and service staff. I hope these insights will result in an actionable toolkit that will bring a side of sustainable to your next lunch order.

Student Profile: Dave Meyer
Joseph Dorsey|March 14, 2012
You often hear the term "underrated" when you walk the halls of Elder High School. Dave Mayer, a senior here at Elder, is the epitome of underrated. Upon first glance, you might think that Dave is a skateboarding rebel who doesn't seem to care about much. Although these judgments are strictly stereotypical, people need to get a deep look at just how talented this kid is; whether it be academically, athletically or anything in between. Little do most people know, he is one of the smartest kids at Elder and has a lot going for him. One of the numerous things that Dave has achieved academically is his staggering ACT score: he received a 35, one short of being perfect. People like Dave define the proverbial saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." Dave's "cover" is far from his personality. Although he could most likely attend any college next year, he is choosing to go to Ohio State, UC, or The University of Kentucky, and is planning on studying dentistry. Chances are Dave will get a full ride or at least a major scholarship to whatever institution he chooses. When asked why he didn't take an Ivy League school into consideration, he responded, "I just don't think that I would fit in. Those kids are nothing like me." He is a Lourdes Tiger by definition. He played baseball and football, until he decided that sports weren't for him. Senior Danny Murphy is quick to talk about one of his legendary skills: talking like the Kool-Aid man. This was a skill that made Dave famous in grade school. Although he was a Tiger, he took a brief hiatus from Our Lady of Lourdes. From fourth to sixth grade, he was home schooled by his mother. After this, he returned to Lourdes and moved on to the prestigious Elder High School. Dave's interests are only a testament to how simple he really is. When I asked him what he enjoyed, he simply said "chilling." After asking for a little more detail, he went on to say that he enjoys skateboarding, Xbox and listening to music. He isn't one to read novels, but he was quick to admit that he loves all of Nicholas Sparks and Jodi Picoult's literature. Some of his favorite movies include, P.S. I love you, The Notebook, Cast Away and the famous Civil War love story, Gone with the Wind . To my surprise, I heard that David was at the midnight premiere of the newly released movie, The Vow . Upon questioning, he had no comment on the issue. When I think of Mr. Meyer, he reminds me a lot of the protagonist from the award winning movie, Good Will Hunting. His mind is intellectually gifted, but you wouldn't know it upon first glance. We wish Dave the best of luck as he finishes up at Elder and starts college.

Watching and Waiting: Desert of the Tartars
Posted in FILM, literature, MUSIC, Politics with tags Bahman Farmanara, Claudia Cardinale, Desert of the Tartars, Dino Buzzati, Ennio Morricone, Fernando Rey, Giorgio Chirico, Girl with a Suitcase, Giuliano Gemma, Jacques Perrin, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Judy Dean, Laurent Terzieff, Max Von Sydow, Philippe Noiret, Rolland Man, Valerio Zurlini, Vittorio Gassman on December 3, 2014 by dcairns
A regular contributor to the blogathon, Judy Dean, tackles a true late masterpiece for us this year.
"I have made eight films, and these have a common theme, which is that life has no aim other than to watch itself go by. Force of illusion cannot sustain us, for there's no idealism strong enough… But we're not talking about a tragedy, merely a sadness… " (Valerio Zurlini, 1926 – 1982)
Nothing illustrates this statement more effectively than Zurlini's last film, Desert of the Tartars, made in 1976. Adapted from the 1940 novel by Dino Buzzati (published in English under the title The Tartar Steppe), it is set in the late 19th century and tells the story of Giovanni Drogo, an idealistic young army officer setting out for his first posting to an isolated frontier fort.
He explains on arrival that he has been assigned to the fort by mistake and wishes to apply for a transfer but is persuaded, in the interests of his career, to stay for two months. Caught up in a web of surreal Catch 22–like bureaucracy, and clinging to the vain hope that one day there will be an attack on the fort and his dreams of military action will be realised, Drogo's two months turn into twenty years.
Buzzati, an Italian journalist, said that "the idea of the novel came out of the monotonous night shift I was working on at Corriere della Sera in those days. It often occurred to me that that routine would never end and so would eat up my whole life quite pointlessly. It's a common enough feeling, I think, for most people."
Indeed it is. You may not be a soldier, you may not be young, or male, but if you have ever begun a job with high hopes only to find yourself sometime later trapped by inertia, by familiar routine, aware your life is slipping away but apparently powerless to prevent it, then you will find Drogo's situation all too familiar.
The novel, described as a surrealist masterpiece and most often compared to Kafka and Orwell, became an international best seller and several major directors, including Visconti, Lean and Antonioni, expressed an interest in adapting it for the screen. However, the film rights were held by Jacques Perrin, the young French actor who had appeared in two of Zurlini's early features – Girl with a Suitcase (1961) and Family Portrait (1962) – and when, in the seventies, he got together the financial backing, Perrin turned to the man he regarded as his mentor. Perrin took the lead role as well as co-producing while Zurlini directed and is also credited with the Italian dialogue.
To play Drogo's fellow officers an extraordinary international and multi-lingual cast was assembled. The characters portrayed by Max von Sydow, Fernando Rey, Philippe Noiret, Vittorio Gassman and Jean-Louis Trintignant depict different responses – ennui, stoicism, delusion, fanaticism – to the tedium of a military routine that is punctuated only by false alarms and dashed hopes. How the casting was achieved is not entirely clear. Was Zurlini's reputation among actors riding high at the time? Perrin's character has much of the screen time and this illustrious group is given little to work with, but does so supremely well. Trintignant, for example, playing the garrison doctor, has about four lines of dialogue and Fernando Rey, an ageing Colonel, none at all. Did some end up on the cutting room floor? Who knows? If only we had a director's cut.
Two lesser known actors make striking contributions. Laurent Terzieff, primarily a stage actor, plays Count von Amerling, a sickly Lieutenant, whose treatment at the hands of the sadistic Major Matti results in his death. Terzieff has as few lines as other cast members, but his face alone ought to ensure his place in the annals of cinema.
Major Matti is played by Giuliano Gemma, a former stunt man and better known at the time for sword and sandals epics, but whose performance here was to earn him a Donatello Award.
But it is not the performances, excellent though they are, for which this film is remembered, but its setting, one of the most dramatic – and ultimately tragic – in film history.
Drogo's nationality is never made explicit, and the uniforms give nothing away. Some commentators have assumed the fort to be located on the edges of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but that is surely too literal an interpretation. The film starts conventionally enough with Drogo leaving his small-town home, having bid farewell to his mother and fiancée, and setting out on horseback across green meadows. He says to his companion, a fellow cadet who has come to see him off, that he doesn't know what the fort looks like, only that it is distant. In the next shot he is traversing a featureless, rock-strewn desert of a kind unknown in Europe to the accompaniment of an eerie Morricone score. Clearly, this will not be the standard military adventure the title sequence leads us to expect.
Zurlini, a passionate art collector and student of art history, is reported to have been inspired, in his search for the right location for the fort, by this painting of Giorgio Chirico entitled La Torre Rosso.
But elsewhere, the choice is said to have been determined by incentives offered to filmmakers at the time by the pre-revolutionary government of Iran. As one of Perrin's co-producers is Bahman Farmanara, who went on the following year to produce Kiarostami's first feature, this may well be the case. Whatever lay behind it, the final choice was stunningly effective. The film was shot in the magnificent citadel of Bam in South-East Iran, close to the Afghan border. A Silk Road fortress, dating to the 5th century BC, Bam was the largest adobe complex in the world, covering an area of more that 180,000 square metres and surrounded by seven-metre high walls.
It's necessary to use the past tense because in 2003 the citadel was destroyed by an earthquake in which many thousands in the city lost their lives. The film has therefore become a poignant reminder of its former glory. Bam is classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and the current regime in Iran, with international aid, is undertaking restoration work but its long-term future is far from secured.
The film achieved some commercial and critical success in Europe, especially in Italy where in 1977 it won Donatello awards for Best Film and Best Director (as well as Giuliano Gemma's aforementioned acting prize), but it was never released in the USA.
Zurlini committed suicide in 1982 at the age of 56, possibly as a result of financial and alcohol problems. Here's what Claudia Cardinale who appeared in Girl with a Suitcase said of him in an NFT interview in 2003. "He was a wonderful director and a man of great refinement. His apartment in Rome was full of wonderful paintings. We became close friends; he gave me one of his paintings after that film. Then one day in 1981, he invited me to his apartment in Rome. When I got there the place was bare. Everything sold. There were only packing cases. He ordered in a gourmet meal and we ate it off packing cases. Then he went to his home in Venice (sic) and killed himself." (Other sources give his place of death as Verona.)
Never as well known outside of Italy as he deserved, Zurlini's reputation went into a decline following his death, but despite something of a revival in the past decade, thanks to DVD releases and retrospectives, there is still a dearth of information about him (at least in English) and you will search in vain for his name in the reference books. A re-evaluation is long overdue.
My thanks go to Rolland Man of the University of Edinburgh on whose recommendation I first saw this superb film.
The Shooting Party
Posted in FILM with tags Alan Bridges, Cheryl Campbell, Dorothy Tutin, Frank Windsor, Geoff Reeve, Gordon Jackson, James Mason, John Gielgud, Judy Bowker, Judy Dean, Paul Scofield, Robert Hardy, Rupert Frazer, The Hireling, The Late Show: The Late Films Blogathon, The Shooting Party on December 2, 2013 by dcairns
Guest Shadowplayer Judy Dean writes about James Mason's final screen appearance in THE SHOOTING PARTY.
What is it about the English country house weekend? From PG Wodehouse to Agatha Christie, from Gosford Park to Upstairs, Downstairs, we are by now so acquainted with its rituals that, even before Downton Abbey came along, most of us could give a detailed, if perhaps clichéd, account of one. We may never have dressed for dinner or circulated the port or – as would have been more likely for most of us – polished the boots of the gentry, but we are very familiar with the class distinctions, and the habits and attitudes of both servers and served.
I feared The Shooting Party, the 1985 film in which James Mason makes his last appearance, might have nothing new to say on the subject, but it goes some way towards subverting the stereotypes and confounding our expectations. Adapted from Isabel Colegate's prize-winning novel, it's directed by Alan Bridges, who was known mainly for his TV work, but who had won the Palme d'Or in 1973 for The Hireling, based on LP Hartley's period novel about an inter-class love affair.
The Shooting Party is set in the autumn of 1913 and from the very start presages the coming conflict. It opens with a shot, in black and white, of a procession of people walking across an open field, a stretcher party in their midst. It's clearly England in peacetime, and there are women in the group, but it powerfully evokes WW1 footage.
The film then switches to colour and introduces us a group of guests assembling at a country house for a weekend of pheasant shooting, horse riding and fine dining and, for some, flirtation and adultery. The film boasts a particularly fine cast. Here are Edward Fox as Lord Gilbert Hartlip, a crack shot unhappily married to a spendthrift and faithless wife (Cheryl Campbell), Robert Hardy as Lord Bob Lilburn, the genial, buffoonish husband of a beautiful young Judi Bowker, and Rupert Frazer as a rising lawyer with literary leanings who is in love with her. Their hosts are Sir Randolph and Lady Minnie Nettleby (James Mason and Dorothy Tutin). Later John Gielgud, Gordon Jackson and Frank Windsor are added to the mix.
Mason's part would have been played by Paul Scofield had it not been for an accident on the first day of filming that nearly cut a swathe through British acting talent. Five of the men in the cast were being filmed arriving at the shoot in a horse-drawn brake. The driver's footplate gave way and he fell to the ground between the horses and the brake, with concussion from a blow to the head. The driverless horses panicked and headed at speed for a low hanging beech tree and then turned sharply to avoid a fence line. The brake overturned and those who had not already jumped clear were thrown out. Scofield's leg was badly broken and he was hospitalized for several weeks while Fox sustained broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder.
There was a hiatus while a replacement for Scofield was found. Eventually, the BBC (one of the film's backers) released Mason from a TV role he was working on – a piece of exceptional good fortune for the production team as it's doubtful if even Scofield could have given a finer performance.
Mason's Sir Randolph is a thoughtful and benevolent employer who commands respect, even from the local poacher, and the Lloyd George supporters who gather in the pub. But where he differs from most of his class is in his doubts about the justice of privilege and his awareness of changes on the horizon. In a voice-over that accompanies the opening shot we hear him say "Life was extraordinarily pleasant for those of us fortunate enough to have been born in the right place. Ought it to be so pleasant? And for so few of us? …….. Might war cleanse us of our materialism? Our cynicism, our lax and lazy hypocrisies?"
Similar concerns about the existing social structure are aired throughout the film, and objections voiced to the culture of killing for sport and male competitiveness. It's disconcerting therefore to hear the producer, Geoff Reeve say in a 2006 interview that he optioned the book because it "seemed to embrace the values and beliefs I held at that time. Apart from believing in God, we believed in the British Empire and, if you like, the lord of the manor …….. Very old fashioned ideas. And The Shooting Party endorsed those beliefs." I'm sure the book's author would have been surprised to hear this, and it's clear that Julian Bond, the screenwriter didn't share Reeve's view.
The script is, however, not the film's strongest point, even though it received a BAFTA nomination. Bond, who had worked exclusively in television up to that point, generously admits it lacks the book's complexity and that whatever depth and meaning it has is mainly thanks to the actors.
Mason is especially effective in two scenes, one humorous, the other poignant. In the first John Gielgud, playing an animal rights activist bent on sabotaging the shoot, walks in front of the guns with a placard bearing the message Thou Shalt Not Kill. He is brought before Mason and the conversation that follows, in which they discover a common interest in pamphleteering, is sheer joy.
The film's climax is the accidental shooting of the poacher (Gordon Jackson). While he lies dying, Mason offers comfort and reassurance and together they recite the Lord's Prayer. The scene could have been mawkish in the hands of lesser actors, but here it's done with great delicacy and genuine emotion. Both Frank Windsor and Rupert Frazer who appear as bystanders recall the profound effect on them of witnessing the performances at close range.
It's worth noting that Gordon Jackson, playing an Englishman, reveals his Presbyterian roots by reciting the Scottish version of the Lord's Prayer with its reference to debts rather than the Anglican trespasses and I suspect that Bridges chose to leave this in rather than go for another, possibly inferior, take.
The rest of the cast is no less impressive. While negotiations for Scofield's replacement were taking place, Bridges shot a delightful small scene between Robert Hardy and Judi Bowker. Told to take their time over it, for there was nothing else that could be filmed, they turn a seemingly trivial discussion about cufflinks into a subtle and revealing portrait of a marriage.
The delays caused by the accident meant it became impossible to film the script in its totality. Apart from financial problems, the weather was becoming too wintry and the shooting season was drawing to a close. It had been planned to follow the fortunes of the male characters as they entered the war, but instead it was decided to close the film with a reprise of the opening shot of the party walking across the field with what we now know to be the poacher's body. This time it's in colour, with captions telling us where and when the men were killed in action.
Mason was shown the finished film but died of a heart attack aged 75 in July 1984 only six months after shooting was completed and before its cinema release. He was posthumously named Actor of the Year by the London Critics Circle, an award he richly deserved.

Steam Heat
Posted in FILM, Theatre with tags Christopher Challis, David Caute, Diana Dors, Joseph Losey, Judy Dean, Nell Dunn, Patricia Losey, Pattie Love, Sarah Miles, Steaming, Vanessa Redgrave on December 13, 2010 by dcairns
Special Guest Shadowplayer Judy Dean offers this entry to THE LATE SHOW: THE LATE FILMS BLOGATHON —
Steaming is notable for being the last film made by three of its collaborators; Joe Losey, Diana Dors and cinematographer Christopher Challis. I'm happy to report that Challis is still alive at 91, but Losey and Dors, who were both in poor health at the time of the shoot in early 1984, died shortly afterwards, she in May of that year aged only 52 and he a month later at 75. It's sad therefore that this talented team should have produced a work of such disappointing quality and that their careers ended on what must be regarded as a low note.
The project was beset with difficulties from the start. Casting problems, wrangles over nudity, crew changes and an inflexible set all played their part but the root of the film's failure seems to lie in its unsatisfactory script, adapted from Nell Dunn's stage play by Losey's wife, Patricia. She and Losey had seen the play together and his biographer reports her as saying "I was so enthusiastic and certain about it that I asked Joe that night to let me do the adaptation." Losey was apparently anxious to launch her screenwriting career so she would have a means of support after his death and, although others had a hand in it, the script is mostly her work and the inexperience shows.
Even an unrepentant second wave feminist like me finds it hard to watch films from the period such as Agnes Varda's L'Une Chante, L'autre Pas and Paul Mazursky's An Unmarried Woman without a slight wince of embarrassment but Steaming had me groaning aloud with my head buried in my hands.
Set in a women's bath house in East London and with an all-female cast that includes Vanessa Redgrave and Sarah Miles, it's crudely put together, full of puzzling non sequiturs and riddled with stereotypes. They're all here – the abandoned upper class wife and mother regretting her years of domesticity, the successful career woman longing for a child, and the working class victim of domestic violence who goes back for more. Why two wealthy women should meet regularly at a shabby east end baths with threadbare towels and cracked tiles instead of an upmarket spa is inexplicable, except for the purposes of a plot that requires them to complete the film's social class jigsaw. What unites them is, predictably, their suffering at the hands of men and, for much of the film, the trio sit around in various stages of undress relentlessly bemoaning male shortcomings until even Andrea Dworkin would shout "Enough!"
The manager, played by Dors, is aware of a plan by the local council to close the baths but script and editing blunders result in her not mentioning it to her customers until about half way through the film. The emphasis then shifts to their campaign against the closure. Unlike the play, the film gives us a happy ending in which the baths are given a temporary reprieve following an impassioned speech to the council (delivered off screen) by the working class woman who – yes, you've guessed it – has finally found her voice.
Apart from these four characters, and a rather baffling widowed mother and her daughter whose problems are never fully explained, there is only one other speaking part and we see little evidence of the hundreds of women who, the manager asserts, use the baths every week. This means the cast have to adopt the kind of frantic mugging that is called for whenever a few people have to convey the impression of being many. An excruciating party sequence requires them to become over excited by a few balloons and sandwiches, and leap to their feet and start dancing manically and badly to undanceable music, invariably a hallmark of a bad film.
Acting styles are far from consistent. Vanessa Redgrave (abandoned upper class wife) and Sarah Miles (career woman) attempt to inject a note of screen naturalism into a theatrical script. As the working class woman, Pattie Love (who played the Sarah Miles part in the original Theatre Royal Stratford production) engages in that style of stage acting that, to quote Quentin Crisp, "embraces us with semaphore gestures and tells us her secrets in the voice of a town crier." Only Diana Dors manages to look at ease in front of the camera.
If more effort had been made to address the play's shortcomings, it might have been a better film but it does nothing to transcend its stage origins and they differ very little. Pages of dialogue are lifted verbatim and there are no exterior shots, the set being made up entirely of a series of rooms within the baths. Losey did not see this as a problem, or chose not to, and told his cast and crew "In my experience cinema can be used in many ways: one of them is to increase enclosure rather than the Hollywood cliché of 'opening up'."
Christopher Challis, who was brought in at the last minute after Douglas Slocombe turned the job down, had previously worked with Losey on Blind Date. In an interview with David Caute (Losey's biographer), Challis described the set as a disaster. "We repainted it, but nothing would float, you couldn't move anything. It was wedged in with backing. The script described atmospheric weather outside, but it was impossible to get it from inside." One outcome is that there is no sense of the passing of time and it's not at all clear if the events take place over days, weeks or months.
Caute's book also reports Slocombe's damning verdict. Not wishing to offend Losey, he made the excuse that his asthma couldn't cope with the damp atmosphere, but in reality he hated both the play and the script. 'I thought it was a nasty, cheap thing for Joe to do, and I thought doing this will kill him. It did kill him. Sad to end on that note."
The film's reputation has not improved over time and, like the play, has attracted more attention for its glimpses of the naked body than for its political intentions. Looking at the keywords allocated to it by IMDB (always a revealing exercise) we find the following; female full frontal nudity, female nudity, independent film, based on play. No feminism there, then. Of the three user comments on it on the same website, one is from a woman who had to decide whether to accept one of the nude roles in a local stage production, the second from a man who describes it as a 'British nudie cutie film' and the third from someone whose comments on other films such as Basic Instinct 2, Intimacy, Sirens, Full Body Massage, Showgirls and Love Crimes leave us in no doubt as to where his interests lie.
It's significant that Christopher Challis's autobiography does not mention the film at all. In fact, there's a strange omission in his filmography that forms an appendix to the book. For every other film his name appears as either camera operator or photographer, but the entry for Steaming gives only the names of the producer, writer, director and stars. Was this deliberate? A proof reading error? A Freudian slip? Let's just hope that in 1984, when he was 65, he was already planning to retire and not driven to it by his involvement in Steaming.
To end on a more positive note, Challis's book, aptly titled Are they really so awful?, is the most level headed and good natured account of the filmmaking process I have ever read. It tells the story of his rise from trainee to DoP and his encounters along the way with temperamental colleagues with disarming modesty and considerable tact. Yes, he concludes, they were awful, but he liked them.

Of the many names that have been floated as possible replacements for Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen one stands out; former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
For starters, Ken Cuccinelli has three things that Nielsen lacked – a commitment to the Trump border security agenda, a willingness to fight Democrats and the Republican establishment to make the President's agenda a reality, and the effective TV presence necessary to sell it to the American people.
Cuccinelli's reputation as a no-nonsense lawyer and law enforcement official is a plus that some of the other contenders don't have, but perhaps even more importantly, Cuccinelli has also proven himself to be an adept and creative litigator.
Many outside the conservative movement may have forgotten that as Virginia's Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli led the fight against Obamacare. Cuccinelli was the first AG to file suit against Obama's disastrous attempt to take over the US health care industry, and it was Cuccinelli's thinking outside the box approach to fighting Obamacare and his persistence in picking out each brick of the Obamacare edifice that helped bring the disaster down.
And that same kind of methodical, persistent, attention to the details of immigration law is what it is going to take to put on the President's desk policies and departmental action that will enforce our immigration laws and protect American sovereignty in the face of Leftwing judicial activism and Democrat obstruction.
Ken Cuccinelli also has another advantage that some of the other alleged contenders lack – he's not going to apologize for being a conservative and believing that President Trump is right, and that American sovereignty is worth protecting.
And, truth be told, that was Kirstjen Nielsen's greatest defect.
Even though she went up to the Hill and on TV and generally said all the right things, there was a steady drip of rumors, leaks and suggestions that she didn't really believe what she was saying and that she was more in tune with the Jeb Bush "illegal immigration is love" point of view.
That's not going to happen with Ken Cuccinelli at the helm of the Department of Homeland Security.
There's a final point that may seem like inside baseball but is very important to getting a new Secretary of Homeland Security confirmed and running the Department effectively – knowing how Capitol Hill and big federal bureaucracies work.
We've seen some good outsider-type appointees come to grief because they didn't get how Washington and the federal bureaucracy work, and they didn't appreciate that the Left, the Deep State in their agencies and congressional Democrats would be gunning for them every day.
Ken Cuccinelli has the outsider connection with the conservative grassroots and the limited government constitutional conservative movement, but he's already been through the fire of fighting the Left and having Democrats after his head, and he not only survived, but thrived.
"Ken's not afraid of anything," said Mark Lloyd, one of the founding leaders of the Virginia Tea Party Patriots. "When he takes a stand, that's it. There's not a lot of squish to him—he's got a spine. He's got a little bit of that Ronnie Reagan thing working."
Running the Department of Homeland Security for President Trump, and getting the Trump agenda accomplished will take spine, smarts, media savvy and the ability to think creatively to get the job done. Of all the good names that have surfaced Ken Cuccinelli is the only candidate who checks all those boxes, which is why we urge President Trump to nominate him for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

Director Nitin Kakkar said that the film is in a very initial stage.
It looks like Sara Ali Khan is going places! After bagging films starring Ranveer Singh and Sushant Singh Rajput, Sara will soon be sharing the screen space with her father Saif Ali Khan in Nitin Kakkar's upcoming yet-to-be-titled project.
The film will focus on the father-daughter relationship.
"Yes. It is true that I am doing a film with Saif Ali Khan and Sara Ali Khan, but it is too early to say more than that. I narrated the story to both and they have seemed to like it. We are now working on their dates," Indian Express quoted Kakkar.
"As soon as the dates are finalized, we will start shooting the film. We are working on all the paperwork that is needed to be done before the film goes on the floor. We haven't even zeroed in on a title yet, but we have a few ideas with us. So, as soon as we work Saif and Sara's dates and once we finalize the film's title, we shall be able to announce the film," he added.
