the red lantern

red lanterns can only be non - lethally parted from their rings by a blue lantern ring , whose aura will cleanse the red taint in the red lantern ' s blood while removing the red ring . another similar method is to use the love between the red lantern and their partner to form a tether which will restart the red lantern ' s heart , though this method still requires a blue lantern aura to expunge the taint .

in use , lantern wick conducts heat into the oil , this in turn creates expansion , and will cause oil to overflow into the air chamber under the burner if the lantern has been overfilled . once this happens , the oil will leak out of the joints where the air tubes go into the air chamber above the tank . to prevent this , only fill the lantern to just under the fuel spout threads . use a small white plastic kitchen funnel to more easily see the fuel level when filling . as a precaution , place the lantern in a shallow pan when re - fueling . if overfilling occurs , empty some of the fuel .
a red lantern might also be hung outside the tower to indicate the train needs to stop for form 31 orders . orders are instructions from the dispatcher , delivered through the operator , to the engineer and conductor of a train which either gives them the authority to operate , as in the case of an extra train , or modifies the schedule which exists in the timetable . unlike form 19 orders , form 31 orders require the train to stop and the engineer and conductor must each sign for the order .

determining the value of a lantern can be quite difficult because it is so subjective . there are many factors that go into forming the value of a lantern . age and condition are obvious . the older something is , and the better condition it is in , the more it is usually worth . with railroad lanterns , the road name on the lantern also matters . for example , the new york central railroad is a very common road name and the market has many of those types of lanterns , so they command a lower price than others . a santa fe lantern will usually be valued higher than a new york central . a virginian lantern seems to command higher prices . if the railroad is more obscure , or if items marked by that railroad are rarer , the pieces are valued more . globe colors also factor into the value . clear or red globes are more common . blue and other colored globes are more rare . lantern prices can range from around $ 25 into the thousands of dollars .
yes , this is it ! i love
red lanterns ,
but i feel like the book - - up until now - - has been outside the rest of the universe . it really feels like its own little corner , and the fact is , it shouldn ' t be . the red lanterns are one of the biggest threats in the dc universe . they are insane , incredibly powerful and they believe they are on a holy mission . those are three incredibly dangerous things .

i have always read
woman in the dunes
as a parable , although evidence exists that people do , or did , live in such desert shelters . zhang yimou ' s
raise the red lantern
is set in china in 1920 , when concubines were commonplace , but i suspect the conditions of this particular house , long the residence of the wealthy chen family , are unique .
the first three mistresses live in uneasy balance when songlian arrives , and she becomes a catalyst for trouble . she learns that when the master selects the mistress he will favor for the night , a red lantern is placed outside her house . ( the man who has the duty of announcing the nightly position of the lantern is puffed up with drama and importance . ) the lucky mistress then receives a foot massage and is allowed to determine the menu for the next day . there is great competition to be selected , and songlian eventually discovers intrigues within intrigues - - even learning that she cannot trust those she thinks are her friends .
pictured is a dietz little wizard kerosene lantern that has been in my family for years . youíll often see people advertise this style of lantern as a railroad lantern . it is not railroad related . most people refer to these as barn lanterns . the design is what ' s known as a tubular lantern . every now and then you will see a barn style lantern that is marked for a particular railroad , which means that at least that particular specimen was used on the railroad . but without a railroad marking , it canít be considered as an official railroad lantern . these lanterns were general utility lanterns , used by people at home and by businesses such as construction companies and such . they were also used not only for light , but also as a signal or marker when the globe was exchanged for one that had a specific color . for example , you will sometimes find a utility lantern with a red , amber , or blue globe .
if these activities don’t make the lantern functional , you may need to disassemble it completely and do a better interior cleaning .

and of course , the market plays a big role , from who wants the lantern , to how bad they want the lantern , to where the lantern is being sold . if you find a lantern at a yard sale or flea market , you might buy it for a good price . sometimes an auction can also net you a good deal . i buy the majority of my lanterns off of ebay . itís a hit or miss out there as to whether i get a good deal . sometimes i do , and sometime someone else is willing to pay a lot more . who wants a lantern can have an impact of what a lantern sells for . a person that deals and collects lanterns on a larger scale will not pay that much for a more common lantern . a novice or someone that has a casual interest might be willing to pay more . while itís not an exact science given how each lantern is different , looking at the completed listings price on ebay can sometimes at least give you a ballpark range of what a particular lantern might be worth .

: the conductor lantern , sometimes called a presentation lantern , is a more ornate version of a tall globe lantern . they have curvy lines and are generally nickel plated or brass plated . the globes can sometimes be decorated with etched leaves and fancy letters , or have two colors . the conductor was the face seen by the paying passengers so he needed a lantern to show his status and to demonstrate the elegance of railroad travel . values on the common models can range from about $ 200 to around $ 450 . more rare models and globes can be from $ 1200 to $ 2000 .
in terms of what i ' m doing in

and
red lanterns ,
it ' s really about that . while the green lantern corps has to police the universe , there is also their opposite number , who are , when it comes down to it , not necessarily wrong . their methodology might be screwed up , but at the end of the day , what they stand for is justice - - their idea of justice , which is to intercede before the fact , as opposed to the green lantern corps , which is always kind of after the fact .

the film depicts the struggle and competivity between the four concubines simply to receive an limited amount of attention from the master , all the while being enslaved within the symmetrically designed compound of their environment . upon entering the compound songlian quickly learns of these rules in that whoever the master presently favors , they will be graced with lavish foot massages , and gloriously red lanterns which are lit in front of their home . the passionate competition among the three other concubines for the master ' s rewards soon entangles songlian in a fierce battle for the winning of the red lanterns . this game simply starts out as a simple competitive strife but soon manifests itself into much more dangerous and devious themes such as deception , backstabbing , exploitation and even death , all within the confines of the chen household .
all of that is addressed on this webpage . just look above for something similar to your style of lantern . i have more detailed information on the individual lantern pages . just click and read , but ask if you have more questions .

are so constructed that the supply of air taken through the side tubes does not mingle with the products of combustion and the flame is supplied with fresh air both through the globe plate and the side tubes . the spent products of combustion escape to the outer air through a central metal chimney in the lantern head . from an air chamber surrounding the metal chimney , which is provided with injectors for taking in fresh air , fresh air is taken into the side tubes , down which it flows to the lower air chamber and thus to the burner . the
cold blast

lantern with the same size wick . this fact has rendered the

lantern a favorite with users . with the advent of modern fuels , cold blast lanterns can be used inside or out .
however , when construction of the george washington bridge was completed in 1931 , the brilliant lights of the bridge’s 600 - foot towers overwhelmed the little lighthouse . in 1947 , it was officially decommissioned and abandoned , and by 1951 , the little red lighthouse was slated for demolition – its cast - iron shell to be sold for scrap .
production of the comet remained in the usa until 1970 when the last dietz lantern production in syracuse ceased . the tooling was then relocated to the dietz factory in hong kong that was established in 1956 , and the tooling was revised with the model number
50
and
made in hong kong
on the bottom of the tank .
if you contact me for the value of a lantern iíll do my best to describe what i think the potential is , from the lowest to the highest . just realize itís hard to pin an exact dollar amount to a particular lantern , and this is only my personal opinion , which is subjective and could be wrong .
was originally banned in china for a period of time . this is a gorgeously lush and beautiful film , as the master’s compound being the neutral backdrop is sometimes seen covered with rain or snow , as the interiors of the four apartments are drowned in rich bold colors , passionately and predominant in bright red , particularly the lofty red lanterns which is a symbol of passion and power . much of the action takes place on the rooftops , which links to a mysterious labyrinth of stairs and passageways including an ominous locked shed , where it is said concubines in the past who have been convicted of infidelity have been sent to their death .
6 . submerge the lantern and burner * entirely in a 50 / 50 solution of white vinegar and water for * * 1 day .
i created this website to share my railroad lantern hobby with the world and hopefully help others that have an interest or inquiry . you can paste the following link :
the dietz crescent was introduced in 1912 as an economy grade version of the # 2 blizzard lantern . to reduce its cost , it was made with smooth , un
check visually for leakage : if there is a noticeable crack or hole in the tank or around the fittings , don’t buy the lantern . if it is an obvious antique , it may be worth the money to buy another tank . but if you’re looking for a working lantern , buying a replacement tank may not make sense .
various railroad workers , such as engineers and brakemen , used the lantern to signal instructions to others ( such as the locomotive engineer ) . a rail yard is a busy place . hooking up and rearranging railroad cars took a lot of coordination and proper communication . the lighted kerosene lantern was just the right tool for use at night .
* a note on the dietz railroad lantern . the one above is a vesta model . while it looks similar to the tubular barn lantern styles , it is a bit different . notice that it has a wire guard to protect the globe . it also has a wire guard around the fuel fount to serve as the base . normal tubular barn lanterns actually use the fuel fount as their base ( see the dietz little wizard model below ) .
8 . once you are finished , give the lantern one final rinse with vinegar , then dry with paper towels immediately . use a blow dryer on low to dry the inside of the tank .
after receiving krona ' s body from ganthet , atrocitus faced a dilemma the cause for rage , his revenge against the mad former guardian of the universe that caused the death of his entire sector and planet , was complete with krona ' s death . but his loss continued , and thus his rage . taking first bleez and then others of his red lantern corps , atrocitus forced them into the red central power battery lake of blood , which reconnected them to their sanity , restoring their minds to them , allowing them to be less bestial . the re - baptized lanterns are now more like atrocitus himself , including thinking for themselves again . one of the first conversations atrocitus overheard from his refocused lanterns was whispers of overthrowing him , their founder .
: the tall globe lantern replaced the fixed globe lantern . it has a removable globe of 5 3 / 8ē to 6ē in height . it ' s also a bit more robust , with more frame around the globe to protect it . they were used from the last quarter of the 1800s up until the first quarter of the 1900s . in the images above , the lantern on the left has a wire base bottom . the lantern on the right has a bell bottom . generally , the bell bottoms are a little older , and thus sometimes more valuable . the value on the more common models range from about $ 75 to $ 125 . rare models , especially with the more rare globes , can reach into the thousands of dollars . brass top lanterns , so called because their top is made of brass , is a subset of tall globe lanterns that seem to command high prices of a few hundred dollars on up .
18 ) pennsylvania lines tall globe lantern frame and fuel fount . a casey would be nice . globe not needed .
for my two cents , raise the red lantern is zhang yimou ' s best film , with the also excellent to live running a very close second . gong li , playing the newly recruited fourth wife of a wealthy 1920s nobleman , is simply stunning , both in appearance and as a then up - and - coming actress . he saifei also shines in her performance as the third wife and it is her heartbreaking story that really makes this film the masterpiece that it is .
was used extensively by contractors of public works , railroad and trolley builders , sewer and dam builders . dietz produced the hy - lo from 1912 to about 1947 , and was the least expensive hot blast lantern they offered after 1912 . the most notable feature of the hy - lo is the
simple lift ,
which is just a wire loop and a thumb rest instead of a lift lever . from 1912 to 1913 the hy - lo lantern was made with square air tubes . from 1913 to 1920 the hy - lo lantern had un
zhang yimou turns his lens toward a world where the happiness and sadness of women rely on the way men act , feel and think , but instead of putting one of those mighty men at the center of his film he bravely focuses on those unfortunate women and calmly shows us the inevitable tragedy of their life . raise the red lantern is the sorrowful story of a group of women’s lives who are trapped in a life build of unfulfilled wishes , unspoken desires , jealousy , failure , humiliation and spoiled prides .
beijing - fourteen years ago , zhang yimou ' s film
raise the red lantern
was nominated for an oscar as the best foreign - language film , establishing mr . zhang ' s reputation in the west as one of china ' s most talented filmmakers . starting on tuesday , new york audiences can see a different version of that story : the chinese ballet that mr . zhang adapted for the stage and directed will be part of the next wave festival at the brooklyn academy of music , its last stop on the company ' s current north american tour .
the w . c . embury co . first introduced the dead - flame # 40 traffic gard lantern in 1940 and marketed it specifically for use by highway contractors , utility companies , and municipalities to warn night time drivers of road hazards . this lantern model utilized a proprietary fresnel ( pronounced

) globe not used on any other lantern model . the r . e . dietz co . bought embury in 1953 , and resumed production of the # 40 traffic gard lantern under the dietz name at least into the 1960 ' s . the early versions of the traffic gard used 1 / 4

we said in our review , “armed with two top - notch leads and a compelling premise , joshua marston ‘s third feature , complete unknown , spends a lot of time hinting at which direction it will go , without going anywhere at all . ” see the trailer below for the film which also stars kathy bates , danny glover , michael chernus and azita ghanizada .
sadly , the characteristically solid performances by weisz and shannon do little to elevate
complete unknown
from being something that may have worked better as a stage play . the odd and esoteric premise never quite connects with the viewer , and it ' s just a deeply unsatisfying film once you realize there really isn ' t more to this story than two estranged people reuniting after decades .

what if you just walked away from your life and completely started over ? what if you walked away from that new life and started over again ? what if you did that again and again and again ? that’s the premise of joshua marston’s new romantic identity drama “ complete unknown , ” starring rachel weisz as a woman who constantly reinvents herself and soon brings an ex - lover tom ( michael shannon ) into her manufactured world .
and the oh - so - familiar strains of ravel’s “bolero” come as no relief to anyone who knows how many awful dances have been made to that music . this one , similar in tone to maurice béjart’s sexed - up version , makes the mentally deranged couples , tuneless vocalizing and pretentious oddity that fill the remaining sections of “unknown pleasures” seem more tolerable by contrast . to be promised unknown pleasures but receive so much commonplace tedium is disappointing .

the answers are not too long in coming , and without giving too much away , “complete unknown” unspools as more of a chamber drama than a thriller . the picture is co - written and directed by joshua marston , who’s worked a lot in television in recent years but whose feature film career has a distinguishing characteristic which is defined by the fact that this picture is the california - born filmmaker’s first full - length movie in english . his 2004 feature debut “ maria full of grace ” was mostly in spanish , and 2011’s striking , underseen “ the forgiveness of blood ” was set and shot in albania . the milieu of “complete unknown” has an internationalist bent ; tom’s wife , ramina ( azita ghanizada ) , is persian , and is informally tutoring tom in farsi ; everyone in tom’s circle is well - traveled , as is “ alice , ” who comes to tom’s birthday party as clyde’s platonic date . this new persona of weisz’s claims to have just come in from tasmania , where she’s been working with a newly discovered species of toad . tom , however , recognizes someone wholly other in alice .
“maria full of grace” director joshua marston , who has struggled to live up to the promise of that stirringly urgent debut , is not one of the great filmmakers . identity is a construct , relationships are a performance and love is a fiction that only endures for as long as two people can be convinced that it’s real — “ complete unknown ” tells us these things over and over again , marston’s inert and hyper - literal new drama rehashing vonnegut’s sentiment in a hundred different ways rather than mining it for any semblance of compelling drama or deeper truth .
“complete unknown , ” to its credit , doesn’t hinge on ham - fisted suspense — on the contrary , it deals with its subject so directly that the characters are suffocated beneath the ideas that they’re meant to represent . as tom and alice split off from the rest of the crowd and begin sifting through their divergent pasts , the film descends into a sub - linklater all - nighter in which weisz , tantalizingly predatory at the start , is soon forced to explain all of the things that she might have used to silently inform a richer and more interesting role .

for technical filing purposes . this means the bsa e - filing system will not accept filings in which these fields are left blank . for these items , the bank must either provide the requested information or check the

box that is provided with each critical field . banks should provide the most complete filing information available consistent with existing regulatory expectations , regardless of whether or not the individual fields are deemed critical for technical filing purposes .
ballet de lorraine’s other program is a more conventional selection of three works , complete with program information : people to credit , people to blame . “devoted , ” by cecilia bengolea and françois chaignaud , bizarrely looks like a provincial dance recital , increasing the awkwardness of sloppy ballet in point shoes with rump - shaking and splats into splits unthinkingly borrowed from the dancehall genre . “hok solo pour ensemble , ” by alban richard , is rigorously faithful to the stops and starts of the brutal louis andriessen score “hoketus . ” lines , circles , simple motions repeated and varied : the creator of these mesmerizing patterns could easily have made the childs - like section in “unknown pleasures . ”
i think the challenge was shooting a movie that was originally conceived as a small contained film that was shootable on a low - budget so that the film wouldn’t fall apart . my previous film had fallen apart before this so we didn’t want to run the same course . and then once we got into “complete unknown , ” i realized i had written a character who has an immense scope , a woman who has crossed the globe living multiple lives in countries all around the world . in order to really understand the character you want to feel the breadth of what she’s done . we had to be very creative in conveying that and making it look like as big of a movie as possible on the small budget that we had .
the absence of names should help create the ideal receptor : an open mind . but anonymity delays judgment only until the start of the performance . “unknown pleasures” collects five distinct styles or modes , and it’s easy to identify which is which , if not which is by whom . you can try to guess the authors , if the work makes you care enough .

it ' s very much like what happens in abbas kiarostami ' s certified copy , except that in kiarostami ' s film , even the audience doesn ' t know where the fantasy begins and ends for the central couple . the characters there are exploring a complicated philosophical question that ' s openly left for the viewers to answer . complete unknown ' s version of the same idea is smaller and simpler . jenny gently shows tom a feeling she ' s failed to communicate in words , and he responds by falling for the seductive side of lying to strangers . as with certified copy , the audience is drawn in by the difference between a lecture about someone ' s abstract beliefs , and the reality of how those beliefs interact with the world .
even with the benefit of expensive malware sandboxing technologies , incident response teams are inundated with alerts . because they can’t tell what’s urgent and what’s not , they often ignore alarms , leaving your enterprise exposed to risk . symantec content analysis delivers effective tools for malware analysis to ensure that only truly unknown content is brokered to sandboxes so incident response focuses on real threats , not false alarms .
hence the appeal of choreography without attribution . that’s the idea behind one of two programs that ballet de lorraine has brought to the joyce theater at the start of its first united states tour . the dancers are listed , but instead of the names of those responsible for the music , the costumes and the choreography , there are numbers . five choreographers contributed to a production tantalizingly titled “unknown pleasures . ”
but complete unknown never locks onto the details . unlike catch me if you can , which showed how its identity - shifting protagonist used charisma and chutzpah to fall into new roles , or catfish , which showed the naked longing behind faked identities , marston ' s film doesn ' t have force or focus behind it . it also doesn ' t have the curiosity to explore what ' s going on behind the soft preaching about jenny ' s love of self - creation . the film never comes up with a mission statement or a message that might tie together its wandering scenes , or explain its vague melancholy . in the end , it feels like a life - support system for a single perfect scene — a sequence that suggests all the conflicts , compromises , and rewards the rest of the film never fully explores .
marston unpacks this vital information far earlier and less ceremoniously than the film’s shadowy , secretive tone might lead auds to expect . the central mystery of “complete unknown , ” it turns out , is not who or what alice / jenny is , but why she is that way ; as the party decamps to a fashionable low - lit nightclub , tom seizes the opportunity to privately confront this ravishing revenant , and revisit a past that she has blithely disowned . the long , spiraling conversation that follows largely consumes the film , like a high - concept rewrite of the unforgettable peep - show memory purge in wim wenders’ “paris , texas . ” but the tension of seduction also charges their bittersweet exchange of narratives , as tom himself — via a spontaneous street encounter with a chatty late - night stroller ( kathy bates ) — is exposed to the thrill of newly imagined selfhood .
banks are required to file sars that are complete , thorough , and timely . banks should include all known subject information on the sar . the importance of the accuracy of this information cannot be overstated . inaccurate information on the sar , or an incomplete or disorganized narrative , may make further analysis difficult , if not impossible . however , there may be legitimate reasons why certain information may not be provided in a sar , such as when the filer does not have the information . a thorough and complete narrative may make the difference in determining whether the described conduct and its possible criminal nature are clearly understood by law enforcement . because the sar narrative section is the only area summarizing suspicious activity , the section , as stated on the sar , is
critical .
thus , a failure to adequately describe the factors making a transaction or activity suspicious undermines the purpose of the sar .
“complete unknown” thus hinges heavily on the persuasive powers of everyday performance . after all , how often do we modify our identities to others , even when presenting as ourselves ? luxuriously conversational in structure , it would make an outstanding stage play , and the two stars play it with chamber - piece rigor : as also demonstrated in “the deep blue sea” and “the constant gardener , ” weisz is often at her best playing women of evasive will and desire , and she does clever work here — even bending and interrupting her own accent — with a needfully frustrating character who emerges only through the elimination of other personae . that does not , inevitably , leave much of a person , as marston’s story skates on the edge of very finely conditioned shaggy - dog territory . virtues of intelligent economy notwithstanding , one almost wishes for a messier sprawl across alice’s many states of mind and being .
“complete unknown” has a killer opening sequence . two young women , their faces tantalizingly kept out of frame much of the time , discuss a new living arrangement for one of the women , who’s back from a long time away , in an exotic location , where , she says , she worked with some “amazing botanists . ” that woman , glimpsed in profile , is recognizable as rachel weisz . so , too , is the compassionate and competent hospital nurse seen in a couple of following shots . so , too , is the magician’s assistant working in a chinese nightclub in the next few shots . so , too , is the somberly dressed woman sitting in a car parked outside of a suburban house , watching as an older woman drives her car out of the driveway and away from that house . is this a woman with a lot of careers ? is this a clone ?
in the deluge of tributes penned in the days following david bowie ' s death , some of the most moving were those suggesting that , despite his famous self - reinventions and stretches of living so hard they should leave a man forever altered , he retained an unchanged kernel of david robert jones within him until the day he died . this notion that identity can be both constant and endlessly mutable is at the heart of complete unknown , the third feature by maria full of grace director joshua marston , in which rachel weisz plays a woman who ( depending on your point of view ) has either never stopped running from herself or made constant blank - slate changes in search of her fundamental truth . more provocative than satisfying , which is as it should be , the picture has a solid art house appeal enhanced by screen - consuming performances by two eminently watchable leads , weisz and michael shannon .
for operations where it is unknown in advance how much work has to be done , it may not be possible to use a percent - done indicator , but it is still possible to provide running progress feedback in terms of the absolute amount of work done . for example , a system searching an unknown number of remote databases could print the name of each database as it is processed . if this is not possible either , a last resort would be to use a less specific progress indicator in the form of a spinning ball , a busy bee flying over the screen , dots printed on a status line , or any such mechanism that at least indicates that the system is working , even if it does not indicate what it is doing . note added for the web version of this essay : most web browsers fail in providing useful progress bars , since they don ' t communicate what percentage of the entire download for a page has been completed .
a mysterious woman with a remarkable past revisits a former lover , complicating the settled life he has built for himself and his wife in complete unknown , an unsettling exploration of identity from acclaimed filmmaker joshua marston ( maria full of grace , the forgiveness of blood ) . as tom ( michael shannon ) celebrates his birthday with a group of close friends in brooklyn , he is startled to see a woman from his distant past at the party . jenny — or alice ( rachel weisz ) , as she now calls herself — first denies even knowing tom , but as the evening progresses , she reveals a shocking secret . after disappearing from tom’s life 20 years earlier , she began to reinvent herself every few years , taking on a new name , a new career and a new life each time . after giving tom a glimpse of what life could be like if he lets go of the safety and security he has so carefully created , alice asks him to make a choice that will change everything .
the first six minutes of complete unknown constitute the most arresting , confounding opening sequence in recent memory . one of the film’s stars , rachel weisz , is first seen looking at a room for rent ; she tells the landlord that her name is connie , that she’s just back from touring the amazon rainforest with a group of botanists , and that she’s planning to study environmental law . no sooner does she say this , however , than the movie abruptly cuts to weisz in a surgeon’s smock , attempting to calm a badly wounded patient on an operating table . the doctor’s name is paige . seconds later , weisz is mae , a magician’s assistant in what appears to be china . then she’s in business dress , surveilling a house in ohio . then she’s in bed next to a man with an australian accent , talking about her years as a teacher back in the u . s . finally , just before the title appears , we see her swimming out to sea , despite “connie” having told the landlord a few minutes earlier that she didn’t get into a boat in the amazon because she can’t swim .
unfortunately , complete unknown completely fizzles . apart from the moonlit frog bit , marston and his co - writer , julian sheppard , can’t think of much for alice and tom to do once they’re alone together ; the last act of the movie consists largely of alice explaining her philosophy of life in tedious detail and tom insisting—with logic that’s hard to fault , frankly—that said philosophy is selfish and deranged . it’s a drastic turnaround from the disorientation that reigns early on , and while that’s thematically apropos for a story about reinventing oneself at will , without looking back , the shift from abstract to concrete just doesn’t satisfy . it’s as if a first - rate roman polanski movie suddenly metamorphosed ( ohhh , frogs , duh ) into a third - rate michael crichton adaptation . the visually magnificent final shot only compounds the frustration , as it’s in service of a real shoulder shrug of an ending . marston , whose previous two features looked like fairly standard no - budget indie fare , has made a huge leap forward here as a director . next time , hopefully , his script will provide the images with a more esoteric , less pedantic context .
“sounddance” is authentic cunningham , made by the master in 1975 . coming at the end of this program , it caps a primer in the developmental stages of choreography , the dancers emerging from the bare classroom steps of “devoted” and the formulaic patterning of “hok solo” into a fascinating world of drama where it’s impossible to anticipate what’s happening , and you want to catch it all but you can’t . this is the kind of surprise it would have been wonderful to find in “unknown pleasures , ” a thrill i’m sure we could recognize without the name of its maker .
these components are present in banks of all sizes . however , the structure and formality of the components may vary . larger banks will typically have greater differentiation and distinction between functions , and may devote entire departments to the completion of each component . smaller banks may use one or more employees to complete several tasks ( e . g . , review of monitoring reports , research activity , and completion of the actual sar ) . policies , procedures , and processes should describe the steps the bank takes to address each component and indicate the person ( s ) or departments responsible for identifying or producing an alert of unusual activity , managing the alert , deciding whether to file , sar completion and filing , and monitoring and sar filing on continuing activity .
sar completion and filing are a critical part of the sar monitoring and reporting process . appropriate policies , procedures , and processes should be in place to ensure sars are filed in a timely manner , are complete and accurate , and that the narrative provides a sufficient description of the activity reported as well as the basis for filing . fincen developed a new electronic bsa suspicious activity report ( bsar ) that replaced fincen sar - di form td f 90 - 22 . 47 . the bsar provides a uniform data collection format that can be used across multiple industries . as of april 1 , 2013 , the bsar is mandatory and must be filed through fincen ' s bsa e - filing system . the bsar does not create or otherwise change existing statutory and regulatory expectations for banks .
any time a new device is installed on a network , the risks of exposing the network to unknown vulnerabilities or hampering its operation are present . malicious code can take advantage of new hardware that is not configured and patched with appropriate security updates at the time of installation . attackers can use these vulnerable systems to install backdoors before they are hardened . in automating critical control 1 , it is critical for all devices to have an accurate and up - to - date inventory control system in place . any device not in the database should be prohibited from connecting to the network . some organizations maintain asset inventories by using specific large - scale enterprise commercial products or by using free solutions to track and sweep the network periodically . to evaluate the implementation of control 1 on a periodic basis , the evaluation team will connect hardened test systems to at least 10 locations on the network . this will include a selection of subnets associated with dmzs , workstations , and servers .
and the framing for that central scene keeps detracting from marston ' s attempts to balance tom and jenny ' s viewpoints . jenny gets access to tom ' s birthday party by luring his co - worker clyde ( michael chernus ) into the beginnings of a relationship , then ignoring him once she has her foot in tom ' s door . it ' s an unnecessary pretense that highlights her complete lack of empathy , and her willingness to take advantage of people , even using them as props . and the flubs she makes with tom ' s friends — one of whom sees through her from the start — raise the question of how good she really is at fabrication , and how she maintained any of her identities as the lies built up . meanwhile , tom ' s brittleness and shrillness with ramina doesn ' t speak well to the stability he ' s trying to preserve . they both come across as poor representatives for the lifestyles they ' re espousing , and the film ' s unwillingness to pick a side leaves it without a point of view or a sense of focus .
by their nature , sar narratives are subjective , and examiners generally should not criticize the bank ' s interpretation of the facts . nevertheless , banks should ensure that sar narratives are complete , thoroughly describe the extent and nature of the suspicious activity , and are included within the sar . the bsar will accept a single , microsoft excel compatible comma separated value ( csv ) file no larger than one ( 1 ) megabyte as an attachment as part of the report . this capability allows a bank to include transactional data such as specific financial transactions and funds transfers or other analytics which is more readable or usable in this format than it would be if otherwise included in the narrative . such an attachment will be considered a part of the narrative and is not considered to be a substitute for the narrative . for example , narratives should not simply state
see attachment
if the bank included a csv attachment . as with other information that may be prepared in connection with the filing of a sar , an attachment is considered supporting documentation and should be treated as confidential to the extent that it indicates the existence of a sar .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .
this shape - shifting tale of the perils and pleasures of self - reinvention begins at a dinner party , when tom ' s ( michael shannon ) co - worker arrives with an intriguing date named alice ( rachel weisz ) . tom is convinced he knows her , but she refuses to acknowledge their history . and when alice makes a hasty exit , tom sets off after her . what follows is an all - night odyssey shared by two people , one needing to change his life , the other questioning how to stop changing .
in its latter half the film . . . gradually runs out of ideas , and out of steam .
writer - director joshua marston gives shannon a chance to shine as a character more pedestrian than the ones he usually plays , though the story is a little too thesis driven to build any dramatic momentum .
shannon is usually playing human question marks in the movies , so it ' s a twist here to see him playing the
normal
guy , except shannon is too unconventional an actor to play anything in the normal range .
the movie brushes up against far - fetched soap - opera scenarios . the ending isn ' t altogether satisfying . yet weisz , playful and seductive , utterly confident , disarmingly vulnerable , delivers a performance that makes you forget all that .
if it ' s lightweight , it ' s certainly heartfelt , and gives any number of famous folk the chance to speak well of the real man as well as the fictional half - alien .
[ director joshua marston ] sets us up for a complex drama , but only delivers a prologue .
the film ( directed by joshua marston , creator of the heart - wrenching maria full of grace ) is distastefully quirky and takes itself far too seriously , but it ' s fun to watch because liars are fascinating .
this is a story that pretends to have a lot more on its mind than it really does .
veryy compelling story idea , just had no where to go . the acting is great , along with a star studed cast . the thing i liked most was the music .
not particularly good . decent acting , and weisz is pretty good here , but the story is idiotic and poorly thought - out .
the film , directed by joshua marston ( “maria full of grace” ) from a script he co - wrote with julian sheppard , centers on a couple whose life is unraveled when a mysterious former love — portrayed by weisz — reappears in the man’s life . kathy bates and danny glover also star .
shannon portrays a character who hosts a dinner party where one of the guests brings a date who refuses to acknowledge their past history . he follows her into the night after she makes a quick exit .

rachel weisz is a woman of many guises in joshua marston ' s academic but intriguing study of mutable identity .
rachel weisz , michael shannon , michael chernus , azita ghanizada , omar metwally , chris lowell , frank dejulio , condola rashad , danny glover , kathy bates .
edited with dreamy fluidity , an oblique pre - credit sequence initially suggests this may be a mystery of shane carruthian proportions . weisz’s character — if , indeed , she can be said to play just one — is introduced in a shuffling variety of guises , from hippy - dippy adult student to sleekly coiffed magician’s assistant , before becoming submerged in a spin - cycle of ocean waves . the truth is less surreal than it appears , if hardly less strange : alice , as she calls herself for most of the film , has been in an amorphous state of identity for 15 years , casually shedding incarnations and attachments without a backward glance .
well , almost without . cut to the decidedly more streamlined life of tom ( michael shannon ) , a tightly wound government official living comfortably in brooklyn with his jewelry - designer wife rehema ( azita ghanizada ) , and celebrating his birthday with an intimate gathering of friends and co - workers . one guest brings a date in the glamorously black - clad form of alice , who immediately delights the party with her wit , smarts and offbeat anecdotes of far - flung biological research in tasmania . the only one quietly unenchanted is tom , and with good reason — for he knew alice when she was jenny , and they were lovers .
below - the - line contributions are as studied and refined as everything else here . greek d . p . christos voudouris ( “alps , ” “before midnight” ) identifies a brittle chill even in the red glow of new york’s nightspots , while costume designer ciera wells subtly varies color , fabric and silhouette to keep alice’s self - styled selves in constant flux .
