Here I am comparing seeing the window by direct (reflected) light, versus backlighting (transmitted light). First in in a room brightly lit by morning sunlight, then against a window with indirect sunlight shining through it, then reversed window with transmitted light. Front lit, you can see the molding on the frame much better, and the black dividing lines give the window a three dimensional look, but it looks like a painting rather than a stained glass window. Back lit, it looks much more like a stained glass window. By indirect sunlight, the colors are muted compared to the front lit window, and it looses the three dimensional aspect, as the frame and dividing lines are now flat looking. It looks much more like a stained glass window now. Finally, another shot of the window with direct sunlight shining through it.
I just received the Beauty and the Beast Window Replica from the Disney Store. It is part of the Art of Disney Theme Parks Collection. It came in a large carton that was long and wide but thin, 28'' x 18'' x 4''. It weighed in at 10 pounds, with the item itself weighing a hefty 7 pounds. It was very well packaged in a styrofoam padded box. The window was in perfect condition, except for a very small unpainted spot near the top of the rose, which I didn't notice until I held it up to the light.
Despite what the Disney Store description says, the replica is actually made of glass, not resin. It is a single pane of thick glass that is painted over, divided into sections by a thick black material. A real stained glass window would be made of sections of differently colored pieces of glass that are held together by lead. Since this replica is actually made of glass, and the paint is a relatively thin coat, it is translucent and looks very much like real stained glass when back lit. The colors are very bright and applied very evenly, except for a small bald spot that I mentioned earlier. It comes with hanging hardware, but I don't think I will actually hang it on a wall. Instead I will simply prop it up against a wall, when I find a good spot to put it. I don't have a Beauty and the Beast nook yet, but I may have to create one in order to display this amazing work of art properly.

The class 68 No.68002 is still lurking within the shed building, road 1, at this time. The class 47 (Brush Type 4) was delivered new to Newport Ebbw Junction shed (86A) in June 1964 as D1733 and bearing the unique 'XP64' Turquoise-Blue livery, with the now famous 'arrow' or 'barbed wire' logo affixed to all four cabsides with a red background. This was soon removed after publicity photographs had been taken. The official launch of 'XP64' did not take place until May 1964 ,but the livery was ultimately rejected by the BRB. When the new BR image was finalised the shade of blue chosen, known as 'Monastral Blue', was darker than 'XP64' and the last nine locos outshopped from Brush at Loughborough (D1953-61) duly appeared in this colour from new. Today the celebrity loco wears a rather different shade of blue again. It is quite fitting that this loco, alos in the public eye in its day, should be chosen to drag the new class 68 to Carlisle station on its inaugural journey on the main line.

I took this a week too early for the utata weekend project "lines", but it would have fit the bill, being a poster for a regular air line.
I had to take it at an angle to avoid the reflections of lamps in the glass - it's on display at the history museum, Musée d'Histoire de Lausanne.
The two main roads leading down from the airport to the city centre are still there (Plaines du Loup and Avenue du Grey). All the greenery in between is now covered in apartment blocks apart from the football fields which are now being built on, too. But what I love is that my street is there, with some old houses on it - possibly the one that was demolished for my building.
The red airport buildings on the right have mostly been replaced by modern ones; those on the left have gone; that whole area is being developed as a huge sports centre.

Noe Gold: Speaking of that, after your number with Buddy Guy, Buddy carries your guitar off the stage. I don’t know how he did it but he got Buddy Guy to be your guitar carrier at the end of the shot.
Keith Richards: What happens there is that I give Buddy Guy my guitar. And you haven’t heard the overdub because I hand Buddy Guy my guitar and say, “It’s yours.” That’s the point there. (laughs) I had to do the voiceovers in Barcelona for Marty because we didn’t quite pick it up on the stage. I handed Buddy my Gibson guitar and said, “Hey Buddy, this is yours.”
I’m happy to clear that one up. No way would I ever ask Buddy Guy to carry my guitar, man!

From the movie "Shine A Light"
Noe Gold, aka Noe the G is featured for his interviews with Mick and Keith in the Mahalo Daily show’s report on the Martin Scorsese Rolling Stones movie “Shine a Light,” which opens stateside April 4, 2008.
Today we interviewed Noe Gold regarding his work on the SHINE A LIGHT film. In the episode, we are featuring interviews with Mick and Keith that were taken for the production notes (with express permission from Paramount).
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Michael Gallagher
The piece that mahalo.com ’s producer Michael is talking about was designed to be a kind of companion piece to the “About the Film” section on Paramount’s www.shinealightmovie.com/main.html website. If you navigate over there, besides art work, clips and other goodies, you may find the text for the complete Production Notes for the movie. It was supposed to be a kind of behind-the-scenes of the process of putting together an elaborate Production Notes package, which this one in particular of all the many Notes packages I worked on, turned out to be. It’s that process -- and the elaborate process of making the movie itself that the show explores. I’ll be posting some more from the interviews I did with the filmmakers to put together this Production Notes package right on my blog,
Mahalo Daily Interviews with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards by Noe Gold for Shine A Light
Noë’s blog: doctornoemedia.blogspot.com
This is what I do. I write and research Production Notes packages of movies for major studios, in this case Paramount. Also in this case, I got to talk to Mick Jagger and Keith Richards -- and some of the producers -- to get quotes and insights for the Notes.
Mahalo Daily was interested in this process, so I went down there last week and they interviewed me on-camera discussing this fascinating behind-the-scenes at the movies process. They wound up using just two of my quotes in the audio for the episode they did on me, but I plan to release more of these conversations on my blog, doctornoemedia.blogspot.com/. Check out the episode here: daily.mahalo.com/2008/04/04/md093-shine-a-light-exclusive...
I’ve just now seen the movie for the fourth time, and it keeps getting better and better. Some of the features Lon Harris and I discussed in the interview for the show: Keith’s rapport with Marty, Mick’s auteurship of the concert, Buddy Guy’s performance and that of Jack White.

Accidental Direct Positive from Kodak 2383. I shot some 2383 and tried to push it to ISO 12 (from 1.5). Shot it as 12 and developed it as B&W hoping that might do the trick. I push processed in H&W Control 1:14, since that is a very active developer. 16 minutes development (instead of 12) 100 degrees F instead of 68 F and continuous agitation. stopped and fixed at 100F as well. Fixed with Ilford hypam 1:4. Strangely some of the frames developed completely positive, and some were positive foreground with negative whites and lights. You can see here some of the mix. Not a lot of depth or contrast which could just be the underexposure (3 stops). Took me a few minutes to realize what was going on,. Definitely worth experimenting some more. Again these are direct positive, there was no reversal here and no partial editing. You can see here where I flipped / inverted entire pictures which was cool and weird no matter how you did it. I think what happened is a combination of active developer, the very thin emulsion which is not very light sensitive - relatively, and then the underexposure. Anyway have fun with these and try it yourself. I want to do this with 16mm movie and see what comes of it.

Centraal Station 19/02/2017 15h28
The Amsterdam-Rotterdam Intercity Direct (in railway terms also named "AmRo") is late for departure at platform 14b at Amsterdam Centraal Station. The engine used for the Intercity Direct is a Traxx locomotive and the coaches are ICR carriages and the former driving coach (just behind the locomotive) is not in service anymore as such.
Intercity Direct
Intercity Direct is a high speed train railway within the Netherlands, connecting Amsterdam Central to Schiphol, Rotterdam Central and Breda. Intercity Direct replaced the Fyra brand as of December 2013.
The Intercity Direct train service uses the HSL Zuid high-speed railway line which went into service 6 September 2009. An hourly domestic service branded Fyra by operator NS Hispeed was started on 7 September 2009 between Amsterdam and Rotterdam using TRAXX-locomotives and ICR-carriages. Initially the service was hourly and weekdays only. On 12 April 2010 service expanded to Saturdays and Sundays. As of 4 October 2010, frequency increased to twice hourly. Service was extended to Breda on 3 April 2011.
An international service also known as Fyra between Amsterdam and Brussels started 9 December 2012 using V250 rolling stock of AnsaldoBreda. From 17 January 2013 this service had to be pulled due to undercarriage damage caused by ice and snow. As of June 2013 international Fyra service has been permanently suspended by both Dutch and Belgian railways. Due to the perceived bad reputation of the Fyra brand, the domestic service rebranded into Intercity Direct as of December 2013.
A supplement is required for travel on the Intercity Direct for the Schiphol - Rotterdam stretch. As of 2014 single use supplements cost €2.30 regardless of the class. This supplement can be paid by touching an OV-Chipcard to a "supplement pillar", which can be found on platforms from which Intercity Direct trains depart. These pillars are similar to OV-Chipcard validation machines, containing a red "Toeslag" label. A bi-lingual sign indicates for which train the supplement is required. For journeys between Schiphol and Amsterdam Central, and between Rotterdam Central and Breda, no supplement is required. If the supplement was mistakenly paid, touching an OV-Chipcard to the same device within 30 minutes will cancel the purchase.
In anticipation of the new concession, Intercity direct is housed since June 15, 2014 at the domestic department of NS, NS Reizigers (Travellers). All this is due to the integration of NS and NS Reizigers. All international trains are since June 15, 2014 part of NS International (Intercity Brussels, Intercity Berlin, ICE and Thalys).

Gran Torino (2008)
Directed by Clint Eastwood
Written by Nick Schenk from a story by Schenk and Dave Johannson
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Bee Vang, Sue Lor, Christopher Carley and John Carroll Lynch
It’s 2008 and Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) is still fighting the Korean war. You can instantly tell Walt is pissed. Not about having to attend his wife’s wake, but the way in which his grandchildren present themselves. Surely football jerseys, belly shirts revealing naval piercings and constant texting is neither proper attire nor behavior for such a somber occasion. As much as he’d like to kill them, he can’t. They’re his kin. Instead, Walt’s rage must find a different outlet. That’s easy enough for him since his neighborhood has turned all Asian.
Walt makes no bones about it: he’s a proud, unrepentant, all-American racist. None of this closeted hatred nonsense, either. Walt will look you directly in the eye and find something derogatory to say about your race color and/or creed. Screenwriter Nick Schenk must have studied Charlie Chan, Mr. Moto and Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. There is not one racial pejorative against Asians that Walt doesn’ know and use repeatedly. All of Walt’s white neighbors have moved or died off and the block’s racial makeup now consist largely of Hmong immigrants. The Hmong are a little known culture from Laos and other parts of Asia that allied with the U.S. during the Vietnam experience, but Walt doesn’t care. All he knows is that they don’t keep their lawn as neatly manicured as his. They try their best to be civil and neighborly to him, but Walt will have none of it. At least until one night when their 16-year-old son Thao (Bee Vang) tries to steal Walt’s prize ‘72 Gran Torino.
Thao was put up to it after a cousin bullied him into car-jacking the prized auto as part of a gang initiation. When Walt breaks up a gang fight on his lawn, he is not aware that Thao was the same kid who tried lifting his Torino. After being dubbed a hero by the locals, Thao and his family come to apologize and make peace for his actions. It still takes Walt about three reels before he finally discovers the people next door are “good” Asians and sides with them. Once this happens, the film’s conclusion is foregone: You know there’s going to be a bloodbath, but whose blood?
