![]() Black levels are inky and rich and the skin tones in the new interviews are natural. It's not exactly the most colorful documentary since there is not a ton of new footage other than talking head interviews, but those older short films and concert footage look great remastered here and keep with its aesthetic of the time. The new interviews look the best here where everything looks sharp and clear. The older scenes in color are cleaned up and look natural with varying states of grain that give it that edgy look. The black and white footage looks crisp with some excellent filmic grain. Criterion has delivered a pristine copy of the archival footage which looks amazing. With any type of documentary like this, the state of the image is all over the place due to the many varieties of source material, time periods, and condition of the prints. This digital master was created in 4K resolution. According to the booklet, this is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.77:1 and was supervised by Haynes himself and the cinematographer. The Velvet Undergroundcomes with a 1080p HD transfer that mixes both new interviews and a ton of archival footage, both in black and white and in color over the past few decades. The artwork is a reversed mirrored image of the band. The spine number is 1164 and it comes with a booklet full of images, information on the film, and an essay. ![]() The Velvet Undergroundpeels its way to Blu-ray via the Criterion Collection with a disc that's housed inside a hard, clear plastic case. Apple TV+ knew right away how special this documentary was, which is why they snagged the rights and teamed up with Criterion to release it in physical form sans the shiny piece of leather. Haynes though allows for a ton of never-before-seen footage along with some new interviews to tell this excellent story about one of the world's most beloved and iconic bands. Of course, if everyone was still alive and available for new interviews, it would have been the ultimate Velvet Underground documentary. ![]() Over the course of its 120-minute runtime, there are plenty of interviews from people both alive and decades that give those delicious crumbs of information about this band and their music. Older interviews of Reed and the company also serve their purpose and shed some great light on this incredible band that changed music forever. The many clips of concerts and behind-the-scenes short films where Warhol served as the cameraman are pretty impressive. Haynes spruces up the talking head interview bits by making a picture-in-picture reel that has interviews with various subjects while archival footage is playing, which acts like an exquisite and fun video commentary track. Listening to these new interviews about how the band came together and their anecdotes from the road and recording, along with some wonderful tidbits on the exclusive Andy Warhol is a ton of fun. John Cale, Maureen Tucker, La Monte Young, Danny Fields, and Maureen Woronov are just some of the guests who fondly remember those amazing experiences back in the day in these brilliant new interviews. And oddly, there has not been a sort of definitive documentary that covered this titular band until now that covers the heart and soul of the best years The Velvet Underground had to offer.ĭirector Todd Haynes ( I'm Not There, Carol), who is no stranger to the music side of film steps onto the stage with The Velvet Underground and combines new interviews with the surviving members of the band along with a ton of wonderful archival footage for decades past. ![]() The one band that most people forget about is The Velvet Underground which delivered not only amazing and experimental rock n' roll tunes but also gave the world Nico, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and the legendary Lou Reed amongst others. When people think about the most influential bands of the '60s and '70s that captured music listeners across the globe and inspired countless other musicians for decades to come, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are usually at the top of those lists every single time. ![]() ![]() ![]() To return the computer to operation, reinstalling Windows is the only option (this leads to the loss of all data and configurations of the encrypted hard drive).įor additional information about BitLocker and the process of recovery, see the following articles: A key may be saved to your Azure Active Directory account (for business PCs where you sign in with an Azure Active Directory account, to get your recovery key, see the device info for your Microsoft Azure account).Ĭaution: If the recovery key is lost, the drive cannot be unlocked by other means.If you saved the key as a text file on the flash drive, use a different computer to read the text file) A key may be saved to a USB flash drive (Plug the USB flash drive in to your locked personal computer and follow the instructions.If the device was set up or BitLocker protection was activated by another user, the recovery key may be in that user’s Microsoft account.For more, see Device encryption in Windows 10 If you have a modern device that supports automatic device encryption, the recovery key will most likely be in your Microsoft account.A key may be saved to your Microsoft Account by default (search BitLocker Recovery Keys to retrieve the key).A key may be saved to your Microsoft Account by default (Access your Microsoft account from a different computer to retrieve the key).A key may be physically printed manually.A key may be manually saved as a file (Network drive or other location).A key may be manually saved to a USB flash drive.The following list describes the supported options to save a key per each operating system version and may aid in locating a saved key (if present): ![]() Recovery keys may be saved in several ways depending on the version of Windows installed.

![]() I've had sets of boards and skis and poles for 4 people fit fine, and it can be installed and removed pretty easily. That being said, I'm careful to open it with both hands, not throw boards/skis in aggressively, and it can open from either side so if one side was giving me trouble, I try the other. It's not a super sturdy construction, and has its flaws with the lock-unlock button being difficult to push in sometimes, as well as the clamping mechanism at each end seems a bit flimsy. I've owned the Rocketbox pro 11 since fall of 2016, and it's served me well, doing exactly what I was looking for it to - get skis and boards out of my car (subaru impreza) in the winter while still being protected, and extra storage for road trips in the summer. However, I will take a very serious look before assuming the functional Yakima engineering of yesterday continues tomorrow. I will work with Yakima to make this box function because I like Yakima and their support and products have been great in the past. ![]() etc., but for the price of this box (albeit reasonable in this market) I don't think the end user should have to deal with modifications or problems like this. It is true, there are support articles on how to remedy the locking mechanism problems by opening up the mechanism with a torx wrench, etc. We extricated the ski gear but this was a silly, time consuming situation. When one side totally failed to open on our last day ski tour, we struggled over the roof from the other side of the 4Runner to get the remaining side to work. The mechanism on both sides feel like they're filled with cold molasses even on warm days. I have now bent two keys attempting to get skis out of the box. The single key mechanism to lock/unlock three latches at a time problematic. I struggle to get a couple of ski bags inside (~190-205cm skis) with some ski boots/clothing. The hinges, designed to open in either direction, end up bulky, somewhat flimsy (although they haven't broken) and seemingly get in the way of what used to be very usable space. This convenience and security all in one package comes at a cost. I appreciate the concept of being able to open the box from either side, and the three latches to secure the lid (each side). I'm looking out my window at two older Rocket boxes on cars we own, and they've been going strong for dozens of years. My family has used Yakima products since the 1980's. ![]() Sometimes making devices more flexible in their use to broaden appeal only adds to their complexity and reduces the original intent I'm afraid the RocketBox Pro 11 now fits into this category. ![]() ![]() ![]() Junyi Wu’s illustrations are soft, beautiful and bring to life this lovely story. Readers looking for inspiring stories of women in science and art will delight in this book. Lindsay Metcalf’s lyrical and informative text is a perfect springboard for discussions on flexibility, persistence and honoring the places where our varied talents can merge into something extraordinary. She adjusted her sails to the constraints of the time and blended her love and knowledge of science with her incredible artistic talent. She found kindred spirits who encouraged her. However, in the Victorian era, her career choices were limited. Potter went on to create a series of stories based around different animal characters including Mrs. Her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was published in 1902 by Frederick Warne, and the mischievous little rabbit was an instant hit with young readers. Helen Beatrix Potter was born in London in July 1866, daughter of Rupert William Potter, a barrister, and Helen Leech. As a young woman, she sketched, she wrote, she studied specimens under a microscope and shared her findings. Helen Beatrix Potter (, 28 July 1866 22 December 1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist. Beatrix Potter is one of the world’s best-loved children’s authors. A curious girl who collected, cared for, even dissected – with precision and respect. Always observant, young Beatrix was enamored and inspired by the natural world. ![]() Though no one knows exactly why Potter stopped, the narrative illustrates difficulties of breaking through prejudiced systems.Īll in all, Beatrix Potter, Scientist is an unusual combination of women's history and science that shows not all questions can be answered.Īn absolutely enchanting story of Beatrix Potter and her journey to becoming a beloved creator of children’s books. Potter becomes a self-taught scientist captivated by mushrooms, but, because she is a woman, her mycological work is rejected. The premise of the book is rather straightforward. Wu's softly smudged pictures have a sketch-like quality, fitting for a story that both shows what was and hints at what might have been. Backmatter includes an author’s note, timeline, and bibliography. ![]() Metcalf explores Beatrix Potter's life before Peter Rabbit in a lyrical manner. Metcalf's text is rather simplistic, straightforward, and informative. She was best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Helen Beatrix Potter was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist and conservationist. It centers on the scientific passions of a beloved children's-book creator. The accidental discovery of Beatrix Potter's secret code journal in 1952, its long study and eventual decoding by Leslie Linder (The Journal of Beatrix Potter, published in 1966, the year of her centenary) have added valuable new material to what is now a full and definitive biography.Beatrix Potter, Scientist is a children's picture book written by Lindsay H. Her lonely Victorian childhood, her struggles for independence, her unhappy love-affair and happy marriage, the accidental influences that developed her genius, are here told in detail by Margaret Lane, with the addition of much new material that has come to light since the biography was first written. When she died in December 1943 non one, not even her husband, knew the whole story of her life. Helen Beatrix Potter was born on 28 July 1866 and lived for much of the first 47 years of her life at her familys home at 2 Bolton Gardens in Kensington. She and her younger brother were kept from seeing other children. Even in old age, when she had long been famous, and the children of two generations had been brought up on Peter Rabbit and her other nursery masterpieces, she preferred to remain unknown, and behind her everyday character of a lakeland farmer-crusty, humorous, locally formidable-to conceal the artist. Helen Beatrix Potter was born on July 28, 1866, in South Kensington, Middlesex, England. The young girl had a brother, Walter Bertram, who was six years younger. Her father was an influential lawyer and also a novice photographer. "Few lives have been more jealously hidden from the public eye than Beatrix Potter's.
