154. porky’s road race (1937)

release date: february 6th, 1937

series: looney tunes

director: frank tashlin

starring: joe dougherty (porky), billy bletcher (borax karoff), tedd pierce (w.c. fields)

because of the 10 photo limit i can’t post a photo, but you’re lucky i can read! this is the first of many cartoons that begins with a fake disclaimer (often used exclusively for facetious purposes):

FOREWORD:—

all the characters in this picture are strictly phoney! any fancied resemblance to any living person is the bunk! any incident portrayed is pure fiction!

and so, of course, the cartoon deals with an amalgamation of celebrity caricatures, all competing in a road race, with plucky little porky reduces to a mere shadow in the competition... or so we think.

frank tashlin provides a clever segue into the cartoon as the title card fades into a banner that still advertises PORKY’S ROAD RACE —

first prize....$2,000,000.00

less tax.......$1,999,998.37

net..............$1.63

a very clever gag that would be used time and time again in many a looney tunes cartoon.

pan down from the banner to an extended garage of cars. “in my merry oldsmobile” underscores the scene (and a hearty chunk of the short), stalling’s music transforming into whistling as we hone in on porky hammering away at a behemoth of an engine. another “i would NOT want to animate that” moment from a tashlin cartoon—there’s so many little movements happening at once! to top the gag off, the behemoth engine slides out of view, and we see porky hammering on his OWN engine, a dinky, pathetic excuse of a machine. wonderful setup as always.

and, because frank warned us, we now see caricatures of Totally Fictitious Celebrities who in fact do not exist. stan laurel and oliver hardy start us off, both seesawing on a sawhorse. laurel scratches his hatless head (which spins around in circles behind him on the board) while hardy glares at him. both make their contributions to the preparations for the race—laurel pumps up a tire, while hardy raises the car jack, both contraptions connected to the seesaw. a lot of meticulous details and animation, lots too look at.

next victim is charlie chaplin, who’s going to town with a spanner wrench in the engine. the music is wonderfully hilarious—still an underscore of “in my merry oldsmobile”, but chaplin’s frantic movements are accompanied by the quick chuffs of a calliope, syncopated with the music. chaplin moves from one car to the next, wobbling along with the same frantic movements. he heads over to another car, emblazoned with three stars on the side. chaplin prepare to twist a bulb poking out of the car, when in reality, the bulb is just the bulbous nose of w.c. fields (not in pig form this time!), who chews him out. “heeeey, whaddaya think you’re doing here, my good man? keep your wrenches out of my proboscis, yeeeaaaah.” tedd pierce’s drawl is lovely as always.

next is elderly actress edna may oliver (who really wasn’t all that old, she was only 54 in 1937, and would die on her 59th birthday in 1942), sitting in her jalopy. she pegs w.c. fields for assistance, a man doing her voice—imdb lists it as dave barry, but imdb is about as reliable as wikipedia; not very. fields lumbers out of his car, droning in terms of endearment (“my little demitasse, my little chickadee, my little bonnie lassie...”) tashlin does a great job of stretching out fields’ actions, purposefully making him take forever to put on his hat and coat and get to the point, but almost to the point where it grows tedious and the joke dies off. nevertheless, tashlin compensates with the product of the build up: fields pours a bottle of alcohol into the engine, and the car launches into a hiccuping frenzy, faster than the eye can see. a faithful gag we’ve been seeing since 1931 with you don’t know what you’re doin’! (which is still my favorite ising cartoon melody)

an unseen greta garbo works beneath her car, and all we see is her giant shoes (a reoccurring garbo gag), providing her catchphrase of “i want to be alone” as “at last, i am alone.” the next car is no car at all, but a full bathtub, an engine with a propeller sputtering in the water. a zoom out reveals the driver as charles laughton, donning a captain’s hat and tipping it wordlessly to the audience. laughton played captain bligh in MGM’s mutiny on the bounty (1935), which even inspired such shorts like jack king’s shangahied shipmates.

the next caricature is probably my favorite, or at least pun wise. billy bletcher’s villainous bellow thunders as we hone in on a shed. if the skull and crossbones mounted to the wooden doors wasn’t enough of a turnoff, the giant sign shouting BORAX KAROFF — KEEP OUT! certainly is. borax karoff is a take on actor boris karloff, who played frankenstein’s monster in frankenstein. while billy bletcher supplies his voice, karloff WOULD work with a rather notable looney tunes alumnus, voicing the grinch on chuck jones’ how the grinch stole christmas! borax is a compound of boron, used to help clean cars as well as a number of other uses. i’m a sucker for puns. borax karoff is depicted as frankenstein’s monster, lubing up his giant of an engine. and, for good measure, his car number is 13. what else would it be? karoff crawls into his limo of a car and revs the engine, the skull hood ornament chattering like crazy.

tashlin’s distaste for porky is certainly starting to become more noticeable, because only now does he say his first lines of the short approximately halfway through the cartoon. an announcer (who sounds like tedd pierce to me) calls “calling all stars! calling all stars!” (as opposed to calling all cars), signaling the start of the race. porky, still whistling “in my merry oldsmobile”, obeys the cue and gives a few happy “oh boy, oh boy, oh boys!” the animation is exceptionally smooth, flouncy, and weighted as he bounces out of his car, out of frame, and then bouncing ON his car into the seat that awaits him, now donning his racing gear. with the way the eyes are drawn, it looks possibly like norm mccabe animation? i wouldn’t quote myself on that, though. the car sputters and jerks to life, an unpromising start, but manages to transport porky to the starting line where the rest of the competition awaits.

the flagger gives the telltale “on your mark, get set, SCRAM!”, which was reused earlier in hugh batman’s bosko the speed king in 1933, albeit with a stuttering dog. no stuttering dog flagger here, but we do have a stuttering pig, does that count? the cars all zip off, a few stragglers speeding by, whooshing along to “shave and a haircut”. the sound effects sound eerily similar to mel blanc’s hoohoo shrieks, so i wouldn’t totally rule that out as a possibility. on a much less lighthearted note, we get a dose of racism as a stereotypical blackface caricature of stepin fetchit (at least in voice) straggles much further behind. “i don't know why everybody's in such a big rush, i’m in no rush.” agggh, product of its time, but c’mon frank, you’re better than that! if anything though, the slightly tilted camera angle makes for an interesting layout, and the shave and a haircut gag was nice.

another parallel to bosko the speed king as we receive a ground shot of the cars barreling towards the camera, swallowing up the viewer. tashlin uses his quick cuts again, perhaps not to the extent of porky in the north woods or later porky’s romance, but they’re certainly quick enough as the cars whirl around the track, skidding on walls and flying around sideways. three celebrities are all packed in one giant car: the cheerio special, toting george arliss, leslie howard (ashley wilkes in gone with the wind), and child actor freddie bartholomew, all from the UK. w.c. fields passes the trio, honking his nose like a horn (daffy would later save everyone the trouble by either biting or squeezing the noses of his victims himself). freddie asks leslie what the time is—4:00. george does a take. “4:00? then it’s time for tea.” with that, all three pull out their teacups from the Great Unknown, taking a sip and staring into the audience, giving a “pip pip, cheerio!” in frightening unison.

big bold letters advertise the CALIBAN, a zoom out revealing the car belonging to john barrymore, who starred in a film adaptation of shakespeare’s the tempest from which the character caliban comes from. “caliban” suddenly speeds away from a shrill woman’s voice calling for his name. we see the perpetrator—a woman with a lasso, calling for caliban, the word ARIEL emblazoned on her own vehicle. barrymore’s “ariel” turns out to be his wife, elaine barrie. in real life, barrymore and barrie (confusing, ain’t it?) would call each other caliban and ariel. strangely sweet!

tashlin plays around with dynamic angles as we view the front of borax karoff’s threatening limo. he pokes his head out of the window, spotting the competition behind him. to further his lead, karoff laughs as he showers tacks on the road behind him (wacky races is taking notes), with the next shot being a lovely view of the racks thrown into the track from the audience’s perspective. charles laughton attempts to remedy the situation by wielding a fishing rod, a magnet tied to the line and thus collecting all the tacks.

karoff’s next line of action is a “torpedo” (which is really just a toy plane), tossing the torpedo at laughton. the torpedo sinks into laughton’s bathtub on wheels, striking the engine and causing the engine to drown in the water. living up to his role as captain, laughton cries “it’s mutiny! that’s what it is, it’s mutiny!” meanwhile, edna may oliver putters along in her jalopy, but her “success”, so to speak, is hindered by each passerby. one car whirls past, stripping her car of its windshield, retractable roof, horn, etcetera. another zooms by, reducing the car to a soapbox, and then another, reducing the car to a mere frame with wheels as oliver ogles at the audience in disbelief, “woo!”ing with each passerby.

it’s no cartoon without a clark gable caricature! gable hitchhikes on the side of the road, but the racers aren’t too willing. he’s spun like a top (tex avery style) as the cars whirl by. once the dust settles, gable has been considerably dug into the dirt, his lone thumb still jerking out of the hole in hopes for a ride.

some wonderfully malleable animation as karoff displays his next trick: squirting glue onto the course. the racers get lodged into the glue and fly up into the air thanks to the resistance, slingshotting back into a cluster in the middle. accompanied by the famous electric guitar zooming twang, of course. the animation reminds me a lot of the rubbery, malleable animation in ub iwerks’ cartoons. the scene where a bee swoops around and stings porky, both beneath a tarp, comes to mind from porky and gabby. speaking of porky, this is still his cartoon. he skids around in the glue, animation smooth as ever, circling around and stretching into the air. the glue strand manages to snap, and he’s propelled into a pile of bricks near a construction site (a sign reading W.P.A. DETOUR PROJECT). the combination of bricks and glue on the wheels makes for army tank wheels on porky’s car.

a lovely sense of urgency and speed as karoff speeds into view, halting in front of the camera and spreading grease on the track next. all of the other competitors zip off of the track like nothing, but thanks to the traction provided by porky’s makeshift army wheels, he’s able to crawl up the hill with ease. as both he and karoff race down the hill, the glue begins to wear on porky’s wheels, and a shower of bricks knock on karoff’s head in succession. there’s a great, quick camera angle as karoff turns the corner on the track, with porky close behind. they weave in and out, porky attempting to pass, but with little luck. the weaving gets faster and faster, carl stalling’s score enhancing the gag as each weave brings forth a higher note in succession. finally, porky outsmarts karoff (which is rare), extending a car horn to the other side and honking. as karoff zips back to where the source of the sound was in hopes of blocking porky, the pig zooms straight past him.

another one of tashlin’s famous “concealed action” scenes as porky and karoff head into a tunnel. there’s the sound of crashing and an explosion. tashlin cleverly extends the surprise just a little longer as an unidentified blur rushes out of the tunnel, presumably porky. however, a look at karoff’s long limo reveals porky in the driver’s seat, with a hunched over karoff crammed into porky’s little car. juxtaposition is comedy’s best friends, and it works!

karoff veers off course in favor of a draw bridge, where he reaches into the control room and pulls the lever. the draw bridge starts its incline, and porky in karoff’s elongated limo flies over the bridge like a ramp. just as karoff’s about to make it across the finish line, porky dives ahead of him in a photo finish, screeching to a half with karoff just a second behind.

if losing wasn’t bad enough, crashing into the rear end of porky‘s new car definitely is. karoff flops to the ground, his car landing next to him. a classic gag that never fails to amuse me as an ambulance screeches up next to karoff, the assistants loading the car into the stretcher leaving karoff by his lonesome, the assistants heading off to tend to the “injured” car. an oldie but goodie.

while the race is clinched, the others still haven’t finished. edna may oliver has completely refurbished her frame car into a sailboat, her dress the makeshift sail as she pumps air via tire pump and funnel into the sail, propelling the car along. a pompous porky awaits his coronation as speed king, when oliver zooms right past. everyone ogles in befuddlement as we iris out on oliver pumping along her makeshift car, the crown placed promptly on top of her butt.

this isn’t my favorite porky cartoon, nor is it my favorite tashlin cartoon, but i certainly think it has its share of good qualities. tashlin uses some beautiful and unconventional camera angles, such as cars zooming at the audience, tacks being thrown FROM the audience’s point of view, and so on. the caricature designs are hilarious—we’ve seen many of these from the coo-coo nut grove, but they still have their charm. a dated cartoon for sure, but as i mentioned in my review of the coo-coo nut grove, looking up who the celebrities are and learning about them is half the fun. with these shorts, at least, you get to learn something new. however, nothing in this cartoon particularly wowed me. not bad, but not as exhilarating as tashlin’s other cartoons. though, for 1937, the wacky races trope would be much fresher and newer than it is now, so as clichéd as it may be, this isn’t necessarily the fault of the cartoon itself, but just how played out the cliché came to be in other cartoons. and plus, the stepin fetchit caricature was... not great. a minor role, but still enough to be considered uncomfortable. i’d recommend this cartoon to check out the caricature drawings in action, but essentially that’s about it. you can go either way with this one.

Runnin’ Just in Case - ai (7)

Previously  Fic Playlist

Summary: It wasn’t love he was chasing, but he’s running just in case.

Rating: PG-13

Warnings: some heavy stuff happens in this chapter :/

Words: 2k

As fall approached and the leaves began to fade from green to orange, life on the ranch slowed. Preparations for Piper’s arrival had begun and the small bump on Bethany’s frame was slowly growing. Ashton had been keeping a detailed calendar of all the milestones and often tried to get everyone to celebrate with him, but it was usually only himself and Bethany. “Guess who reached 24 weeks.” Ashton grinned, pulling a cake from the fridge.

“Ash, please. We don’t need a cake every 4 weeks.” Calum groaned. “I’ve gained as much weight as Bethany has.”

“Are you calling me fat?” Bethany asked, looking at Calum.

“Well..” Calum started. “Yes, and no. You’re fat because you’re pregnant and you have a beautiful baby growing in you. You’re not fat in an unappealing way.”

“So, you’re saying fat people are unappealing?” Bethany raised an eyebrow as she crossed her arms.

“No! No, that’s not what I’m saying.” Calum sighed. Bethany knew what he meant, but she enjoyed giving him a hard time.

“Enough, you two.” Evelyn shook her head and stood up. “Who wants to go into town and get the remaining lumber and supplies for the stables and barn?”

“Ashton and I were gonna go to town anyways, so we can get stuff.” Bethany said, pulling a slice of cake onto her plate.

“I’ll go too, because Bethany can’t lift anything.” Michael said, smiling at Bethany. It had only been a week since Michael had noticed the calf chart, but earlier than anyone had assumed. He was upset with himself that it had taken 3 weeks to notice, and the subtle comments from the others never registered in his mind.

“Thank you, Mike.” Evelyn smiled and began taking the dishes to the kitchen. “If you see that Barry guy in town, tell him to stop calling. No matter how much he pesters us, I’m not selling my ranch.”

“I really don’t get good vibes from that guy. It’s like he’s only here to start something.” Luke sighed. “He’s been very friendly with the Atkins’ though.”

“Money attracts money.” Bethany rolled her eyes and forked another bite of cake into her mouth.

“Well, we better get going if we want to get back before dark.” Ashton sighed and put the cake back in the fridge.

The three of them made it town faster than usual, as Michael was driving. “What are we picking up?” Mike asked, parking at the lumber yard.

“Dax has it all set aside for us. My mom called it in a few days ago.” Bethany said and slid out of the car. She let out a deep breath as she rubbed the side of her bump.

“You good?” Ashton asked, his large hand rubbing over her stomach.

“Yeah, she just kicked my kidney.” Bethany sighed, placing her hand over Ashton’s. Ashton pressed a soft kiss to her forehead before leading her inside.

“Was wondering when you lot would be by for this here lumber. Been sitting in the bay for a week.” Dax said, coming out of the back room.

“Sorry, things have been a little crazy at the ranch.” Bethany smiled. “There’s a lot to do to get ready for the baby.”

“Speakin’ of your little one, the guys and I have a little surprise for ya.” Dax grinned and led the three of them out to the shop where an oak crib was waiting.

“Dax, it’s beautiful!” Bethany gasped. “Y’all didn’t have to do this for us.”

“It was nothin’.” Dax chuckled. “Besides, this here wood came from your daddy’s tree.”

“What?” Bethany looked up at Dax, tears pricking her eyes.

“When that storm hit back in August and knocked the tree down, Old Man Montgomery let us take the tree for the wood. When we heard you was expectin’ a little one, we thought we’d use the oak to bring your daddy home again.” Dax smiled, his eyes soft.

“Thank you, so much, Dax.” Bethany sniffed and hugged him. “You have no idea what this means to me.”

“Your daddy was a good man and a better friend. Now, he’ll always be there for your little one.”

“How much do we owe you for the crib?” Ashton asked, pulling out his wallet.

“No, no, son. This here is a gift for y’all. No need to pay for this.” Dax smiled softly at Ashton.

“Dax, y’all must’ve worked late nights to get this done. The least we can do is offer some compensation.” Ashton said, hoping Dax would let him give something.

“Keep your money. I know times are tough with the ranch right now.” Dax offered a small smile.

“We really appreciate it, mate.” Ashton smiled and loaded the crib and the supplies into the truck. As they were getting back in, Michael noticed Bigshot Barry walking out of the grocery store.

“What’s that guy still doing here? He’s been here for months.” Mike rolled his eyes and started the truck.

“I don’t know, but I have a really bad feeling about that guy.” Bethany sighed and buckled her seatbelt. Michael sighed and pulled out of the parking lot.

“Do we need anything else in town?” He asked, glancing at the couple.

“No. Now that we have a crib, the nursery is almost set.” Bethany said, her palm rubbing across her stomach. Michael nodded and turned onto the highway, driving them home.

Michael and Ashton brought the lumber over to the barn and the stables, where Luke and Evelyn were doing the finishing touches on the beams of the stables. “There you are. I was wondering when you’d get back.” Evelyn said, setting the drill down.

“Yeah, we got the lumber and screws and shit.” Mike said, nodding to the truck. “Dax made a crib out of Dave’s tree.”

“He did? Oh, that’s perfect.” Evelyn smiled softly. “A little piece of him will always be with our little Piper.”

“It was exactly what we needed.” Ashton smiled.

“Yes, it was.” Evelyn smiled at him. “Why don’t you guys get started over here. I’m gonna head to the west barn and finish up some of the interior so it’ll be ready when the frost hits.” She pulled off her work gloves and laid them on a hay bale before walking away.

“Did you see the asshole in town today?” Luke asked, looking at Michael and Ashton.

“Yeah, when we were leaving. Why?” Ashton furrowed his eyebrows.

“He called about an hour ago. He told Evelyn that if she doesn’t consider selling, she’ll regret it.” Luke sighed softly.

“That sounds like a threat.” Michael said, picking up the drill.

“That’s what I thought too. Then, after Evelyn hung up on him, she got a call from the Atkins’ farm. I guess some cows got loose and wandered into their pasture. Calums over there now trying to round them all up.” Luke explained.

“How would they have gotten out? They’re in the south pasture, which has an iron fence. The only way they can get out is if someone opened the gate.” Ashton pondered.

“Calum said the gate was open when he went over there, but the lock was still locked.”

“So, someone broke the gate open.” Michael said, shaking his head. “It was probably the Atkins’ trying to scare us.”

“That’s what we figured. We’ll just have to keep an eye out.” Luke sighed and went back to work.

Bethany had left the group and gone to the house to make dinner. As the time passed, the boys slowly made their way into the house. “Hey, we talked to your mother and she said she’s gonna eat later. She wants to get the barn finished tonight.” Michael said as he hung his hat by the door.

“Okay, I’ll leave a plate for her in the microwave.” Bethany nodded and filled a plate, setting it in the microwave. She handed out plates to the boys and they each filled their plates.

“How are the stables looking?” Bethany asked as she sat at the table.

“They’re coming along nicely. The framing is all set up, we just need to install sheetrock and plastering, before any other major changes can happen.” Luke said, scarfing down his meal as if it were the last he’d ever eat.

“That’s good. Mom was hoping to have them done by the time the fair started, so we could enter it in the building event.” Bethany said, slowly eating her food.

“You okay?” Ashton whispered to her softly.

“Yeah, my stomach’s just feeling a little weird. You know that feeling you get before something bad happens?” She looked back at him as he nodded. “That’s the kind of feeling I have right now.” She sighed and ate a couple more bites. “It’s messing with my appetite.”

“Nothing’s gonna happen, love. Please finish your meal, you barely had any breakfast or lunch today and you are eating for two now.” Ashton said, pressing a kiss to her temple.

“I know, my love.” Bethany smiled softly and ate another bite. Ashton’s heart fluttered at the nickname. Neither of them had said the L word yet, so hearing her call him her love made his heart skip a beat. He smiled to himself as he continued eating his own food.

When they had finished, Michael helped Bethany bring the dishes to the kitchen. Bethany had just started loading the dishwasher when a loud booming sound shook the house, the front windows shattering. A scream flew from Bethany’s lips as she backed up against the counter. “What the hell was that?!” She yelled, placing her hand over her heart.

“I have no clue.” Michael said, following Luke and Ashton out of the house. Bethany jogged behind them to keep up, her heart stopping when she looked up. The barn was nearly completely enveloped in bright red flames.

“M-Mom?” Bethany tried to call out for her, but the words were stuck in her throat. Luke quickly grabbed hold of Bethany’s arms, keeping her standing.

“She’s probably not in there. She’s probably getting buckets of water.” Luke said, though he knew his words weren’t helping. Bethany let out another scream as the wood cracked, part of the roof caving in.

“N-No..” Bethany gasped for air, her lungs denying her of a breath.

“I’m going in.” Ashton said, looking at the three of them. “I have to get Evelyn out of there.”

“Ash, no.” Bethany whimpered softly as tears streamed down her cheeks. The thought of losing her mother and her boyfriend on the same night was sending her into a panic.

“I have to.” Ashton said, pressing a lingering kiss to Bethany’s lips. “I love you, so much.. Both of you.” He whispered softly as his hand gently rubbed along her small bump, before running into the barn.

“No!” Bethany screamed, a new wave of tears cascading down her reddened cheeks. “Ashton!” She screamed, beginning to run after him.

“Bethany, stop!” Luke yelled as he grabbed ahold of her arms once more, holding her back. Michael pulled out his phone, quickly dialing 9-1-1.

“I can’t lose both of them.” Bethany sobbed, her eyes never leaving the flames. The wood of the barn crackled in front of them as the rest of the roof tumbled down, the flames rising higher and higher. Bethany’s knees buckled as she fell to the ground, Luke kneeling with her. Bethany let out a final pained scream before collapsing into Luke’s arms, the sobs wracking her body.

Buildings made of common steel are cost-effective.

Steel buildings have ended up being progressively more notable worldwide since the time the finish of the Second World War, and at present, it is being utilized for building capacities. Beforehand, wood was undeniably more common for fast form structures. Thinking about the natural situation and the calamity of lumber, steel structures have become very broad. These structures are additionally durable, durable and ready to confront storms and solid breezes. Steel building strategies have changed and progressed with changing patterns throughout the long term, and engineers concoct more present day, updated varieties with more highlights. Steel as a substance without anyone else has kept developing to be more refined as compound gratitude to new methodologies and become more grounded accordingly. Present-day cold moved steel used in structures can have a high rigidity giving the construction its toughness.

  Steel structures oftentimes have a whole steel supporting construction inside a substantial packaging. However, these structures are not solely utilized for private capacities as capacity, work environments, and rural regions as sheds. They enjoy the benefit of negligible upkeep costs and issues. The developing expense overall is ordinarily significantly less costly as differentiated to wooden structures. The assets used may, what's more, be re-utilized somewhere else in the situation the structure is being patched up and should adjust parts. Building steel structures requests a ton of ability and taught designers and laborers, anyway, are sensibly less complex than full substantial constructions. The plans are generally adaptable and prefab-accommodating. Steel Buildings Barrie also provides good facilities.

  You will discover 5 essential sorts of underlying components that structure steel structures: strain individuals, pressure individuals, twisting individuals, consolidated power individuals, and their associations. The pressure individuals, as the term recommends, keep up elastic powers. Pin associations keep away from a pivot or shearing. For instance, the bowing individuals radiate, lintels, spandrels, braces, and so on, hold the chief burdens, pivotal powers notwithstanding auxiliary burdens. A pervasive element of steel structures is the 'I' molded bars. These shafts are by and large used to hold up the different sides of the dividers or rooftops. Each support is gathered or preassembled and raised with a crane. Within spaces inside the system of the steel structure are by and large loaded down with protection. For the most part, metal sheeting is used to cover the outside dividers to give a finished structure shell. Such structures are much of the time saw in average metropolitan structures and homes.

  Another kind of design where steel is normally used is in the country areas for developing outbuildings and storage facilities. It's additionally used to develop storage at air terminals and carports for metropolitan houses. They're typically negligible cost developments as the external casing is totally built from steel sheets. The sheets are adapted to frame a curve for strength and anchor to the substantial base through base plate connectors and box.

Multi-Family Builder and Developer Confidence Improved in Second Quarter but Remains in Negative Territory

Confidence in the market for new multi-family housing increased in the second quarter; however, it still remains in negative territory, according to results from the Multi-Family Market Survey (MMS) recently released by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). The MMS produces two separate indices. The Multi-Family Production Index (MPI) rose 10 points to 37 compared to the previous quarter. Meanwhile, the Multi-Family Vacancy Index (MVI) increased three points to 62, with higher numbers indicating more vacancies.

The MPI measures builder and developer sentiment about current conditions in the apartment and condo market on a scale of 0 to 100. The index and all of its components are scaled so that a number below 50 indicates that more respondents report conditions are getting worse than report conditions are improving.

The MPI is a weighted average of three key elements of the multi-family housing market: construction of low-rent units-apartments that are supported by low-income tax credits or other government subsidy programs; market-rate rental units-apartments that are built to be rented at the price the market will hold; and for-sale units-condominiums. All three components posted increases in the second quarter: the component measuring low-rent units rose 10 points to 42, the component measuring market rate rental units increased five points to 34 and the component measuring for-sale units posted a 13-point gain to 35.

The MVI measures the multi-family housing industry’s perception of vacancies in existing apartments. It is a weighted average of current occupancy indexes for class A, B and C multifamily units, and can vary from 0 to 100, where a number over 50 indicates more property managers believe vacancies are increasing than decreasing. With a reading of 62, this is the highest level since 2009.

“Confidence among multi-family builders and developers increased in the second quarter, but it’s still below where we were before the pandemic hit,” said Barry Kahn, president of Hettig-Kahn Holdings in Houston and chairman of NAHB’s Multi-Family Council.

“The multi-family market continues to make its way back toward pre-pandemic levels, with recent starts data coming in above forecast,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “Demand remains subdued due to elevated unemployment rates, while on the supply-side of the market builders and developers are dealing with a significant increase in lumber prices, which could hinder further recovery of the market.”

Historically, the MPI and MVI have performed well as leading indicators of U.S. Census figures for multi-family starts and vacancy rates, providing information on likely movement in the Census figures one to three quarters in advance.

  The Night Alive by Conor McPherson is the story of five Dubliners bumbling through life and often at odds with one another.  McPherson, the award winning playwright of Shining City, The Seafarer, The Weir and many others, has an ear for realistic dialogue full of incomplete sentences, broken phrases and the lilt of his native Irish intonations.  The play’s New England premiere at the Chester Theatre Company in Chester, Massachusetts, is respectful of McPherson’s expressive style in this haunting work.

  The play opens as Tommy (Justin Campbell) assists Aimee (Marielle Young,) into the thoroughly unkempt room he rents in his uncle Maurice’s (Nick Ullett) house.  Her face has been bloodied in an altercation with a man she says she doesn’t know.  Tommy tenderly cleans her up and insists she spend the night there to recover from her trauma.  The one night turns into several days.

  The next day Doc (James Barry,) who is described as being “disabled,” arrives asking for a place to live since his sister’s boy friend has, once again, thrown him out of their house.  After bantering back and forth Tommy gives Doc 30 pounds and we are assured of the warmth that exists between the them.  Several days elapse as the play settles into a domestic comedy/drama, then Kenneth (Joel Ripka) appears and lives change.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

While  several scenes in the play are somewhat episodic and have a tenuous relation with the preceding or following scenes the events build the arc of the play into an ambiguous and provocative conclusion.

  The acting is uniformly excellent.  Campbell as the sensitive Tommy lumbers around his  room displaying a latent sensitivity toward Aimee and Doc and intense anger as he argues with his ex-wife about their two children.  He gets laughs and empathy as he deals with the frustrations of his life. James Barry assumes the mien and physicality of Doc’s mental disability.  In a touching performance he has the audience laughing with him, not at him, as he receives their compassion.  Aimee, a sometimes prostitute, is a difficult character to like as she is very private, but Ms. Young has found qualities that allow us to understand her.  Her performance is subtly textured.

  Nick Ullett’s Uncle Maurice is pompous and irascible when sober and almost pleasant when inebriated.  Actually, the uncle is of minor importance to the major incidents in the plot, but Ullett makes the most of his several scenes by supplying information of Tommy’s past.  When Joel Ripka’s Kenneth enters it is obvious that, despite his charm, there is an aura of danger encompassing him.  His transition from bonhomie to violence is smooth and occurs incrementally.

  Direction by Chester’s artistic director Daniel Elihu Kramer is economical; there are no wasted movements or moments.  His actors bring their characters to life with sensitivity and insight.  The grimy room designed by Ed Check is claustrophobic, adding to the conditions that govern their actions and emotions.  Charles Schoonmaker’s costumes identify the social status of the characters and the lighting and sound by Lara Dubin and Tom Shread respectively underscore the various tones of the play.

  The Night Alive is an interesting play on many levels and this production is perceptive in interpreting McPherson’s script and is intelligently directed and acted.  Chester opens its 30th season with the excellence that has become a hallmark for this intimate theatrical space.

The changing nature of Canada’s forest supply as fires, bugs, and climate bite

Mills in the heart of Canada’s timber industry have fallen quieter this winter as wildfires and infestations made worse by climate change have made vast tracts of once valuable forest into barren stands of dead trees.

After seeing record high softwood lumber prices earlier this year, Canada’s forestry industry is facing an uncertain future due to falling demand from a cooling U.S. housing market, increasingly frequent and intense forest fires and the continuing damage from pests such as the mountain pine beetle.

“We’re kind of at that point in the cycle where, unfortunately, permanent reductions have to happen,” said Ed Sustar, a forestry products analyst at Moody’s Investor Service.

“It’s going to be a relatively sizable part of the B.C. lumber industry, but it’s not a surprise.”

British Columbia, home to close to a third of Canada’s wood manufacturing jobs, is showing the most visible effects of reduced supplies as numerous companies have cut back mill production in recent months.

West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. cited timber supply shortages brought on by the mountain pine beetle for permanently cutting 300 million board feet of production, at a cost of upwards of 75 jobs in the new year, at its Fraser Lake and Quesnel sawmills. That was on top of production cuts in the last stretch of the year at a string of interior mills from log supply constraints.

Interfor Corp. cut about 20 per cent of production for this last quarter, citing escalating log costs, while Canfor Corp. curtailed B.C. production by 10 per cent due to log supply constraints. Conifex Timber Inc. cut production by 15 per cent at its Fort St. James, and then by another 10 per cent for the next half year.

The supply issue has, however, been looming for some time, as the large swaths of B.C. forest killed by a pine beetle epidemic decay into worthless dead stands. The tinderbox created by the outbreak, combined with warmer, drier weather, have in turn helped create back-to-back record forest fire seasons in the province.

In 2017 wildfires destroyed about 1.2 million hectares of forest. This fiscal year it’s estimated at 1.4 million, compared with an average of 151,000 hectares for the 10 prior years.

The decrease in the amount of healthy B.C. forest has pushed companies to expand further into the U.S. or abroad, said Sustar.

“All these companies where B.C. was their base, they’re all expanding and diversifying outside of B.C., and B.C.’s become a smaller portion.”

The provincially-set amount of timber that industry can harvest has already dropped by about 25 per cent in the past decade to around 52 million cubic metres, noted Sustar. B.C. government projections on the impacts of the 2017 fires alone are expected to reduce the mid-term supply by more than half in Williams Lake and 100 Mile House and by about 44 per cent in Quesnel.

“We do and we will have a mid-term challenge with respect to availability,” said Susan Yurkovich, president of the B.C. Council of Forest Industries.

“Fibre availability is a key issue for the industry, it’s our main product input, so of course it’s very significant.”

The wild card in all of this continues to be the effects of climate change, and how much it will change the supply picture.

“It’s already really created huge problems in terms of timber supply,” said Sally Aitken, a professor at the University of British Columbia.

“Climate change will touch pretty much everything we do in forestry, and everything that lives in forests.”

She’s studying how to create forests that will be more resilient to climate change, by selecting genetic varieties of trees that could better withstand the changes coming.

The impact of climate change on the health of forests is hard to predict, however, as changing weather patterns lead to both wetter and drier conditions, while a variety of threats including insects like the pine beetle, fir beetle, spruce budworm as well as diseases and fungi get worse.

Barry Cooke, a forestry researcher at Natural Resources Canada, describes the trend as climate weirding, since so many factors are at play.

“You have climate changes percolating through this cascade of physical and biotic consequences,” said Cooke.

His research has focused in part on Canada’s far north forests, where melting permafrost has let to what he describes as drunken trees falling over in the waterlogged soil.

But he notes that government research is showing climate change impacts are coming to all areas of the Canadian woods, including the fires of the west coming east. He also sees a deterioration in the quality of the forests, as growth-rings thin and faster-growing but lower quality plants and trees mask the decline of core species.

“Yeah there are a lot of trees here, but they’re not as healthy as they used to be…the forest is in a process of transforming,” said Cooke.

“We are seeing growth declines in Eastern Canada, and this wasn’t predicted to happen this soon. We thought maybe in 20, 30 years we might see this, but it’s happening already.”

The changing trends means lots of uncertainty for Canada’s forests going forward, said Cooke. Trees can endure wide fluctuations of weather, he noted, but their health can change suddenly once critical thresholds like moisture balance are tipped.

“Everything looks fine until it’s not.”

Buildings made of common steel are cost-effective.

Steel buildings have ended up being progressively more notable worldwide since the time the finish of the Second World War, and at present, it is being utilized for building capacities. Beforehand, wood was undeniably more common for fast form structures. Thinking about the natural situation and the calamity of lumber, steel structures have become very broad. These structures are additionally durable, durable and ready to confront storms and solid breezes. Steel building strategies have changed and progressed with changing patterns throughout the long term, and engineers concoct more present day, updated varieties with more highlights. Steel as a substance without anyone else has kept developing to be more refined as compound gratitude to new methodologies and become more grounded accordingly. Present-day cold moved steel used in structures can have a high rigidity giving the construction its toughness.

  Steel structures oftentimes have a whole steel supporting construction inside a substantial packaging. However, these structures are not solely utilized for private capacities as capacity, work environments, and rural regions as sheds. They enjoy the benefit of negligible upkeep costs and issues. The developing expense overall is ordinarily significantly less costly as differentiated to wooden structures. The assets used may, what's more, be re-utilized somewhere else in the situation the structure is being patched up and should adjust parts. Building steel structures requests a ton of ability and taught designers and laborers, anyway, are sensibly less complex than full substantial constructions. The plans are generally adaptable and prefab-accommodating. Steel Buildings Barrie also provides good facilities.

You will discover 5 essential sorts of underlying components that structure steel structures: strain individuals, pressure individuals, twisting individuals, consolidated power individuals, and their associations. The pressure individuals, as the term recommends, keep up elastic powers. Pin associations keep away from a pivot or shearing. For instance, the bowing individuals radiate, lintels, spandrels, braces, and so on, hold the chief burdens, pivotal powers notwithstanding auxiliary burdens. A pervasive element of steel structures is the 'I' molded bars. These shafts are by and large used to hold up the different sides of the dividers or rooftops. Each support is gathered or preassembled and raised with a crane. Within spaces inside the system of the steel structure are by and large loaded down with protection. For the most part, metal sheeting is used to cover the outside dividers to give a finished structure shell. Such structures are much of the time saw in average metropolitan structures and homes.

  Another kind of design where steel is normally used is in the country areas for developing outbuildings and storage facilities. It's additionally used to develop storage at air terminals and carports for metropolitan houses. They're typically negligible cost developments as the external casing is totally built from steel sheets. The sheets are adapted to frame a curve for strength and anchor to the substantial base through base plate connectors and box.

  Pre-Fabricated steel structures have presently gotten actually regularly seen. It's a little changed kind of standard steel structures. They can be additionally called pre-designed structures. These structures are unique, as they aren't based nearby. A few components are fabricated at the assembling office, then, at that point, conveyed to the site of development and afterwards amassed together to construct the structure.

  Steel development organizations have been regular in the United Kingdom for various years. Some of the world's principal global steel enterprises are arranged in the UK. These associations give the necessary components to a steel assembling; however, they likewise supply cold moved steel and other structural steel material in pre-assembled packs for speedy developments. They have gained notoriety for providing brilliant quality steel, making the structures safe and keeping them looking extraordinary throughout a drawn-out timeframe. The items provided are as often as possible tried, checked, and really at that time dispatched to the shoppers.

[Blood In The Snow Review] A Low Key Vampire Apocalypse Arrives In RED SPRING

[Blood In The Snow Review] A Low Key Vampire Apocalypse Arrives In RED SPRING

There’s something intriguing about the idea of a vampire apocalypse. In the current horror cycle, we’re still firmly fixated on zombies as the harbingers of doom (see: The Walking Dead…or rather, don’t). Red Spring subs out a world overrun by slow lumbering fiends for fast paced blood suckers whose only apparent weakness is direct sunlight (an overcast day? No problem!)

Lead actor Jeff Sinasac (also the film’s writer and director) plays Ray, a man who discovers the dead bodies of his wife and daughter in the opening scene. It’s an expedient way to convey the devastation that has befallen the world, as well as the peril that Ray and his group of ragtag travellers find themselves in. The vampires, we learn, have completely taken over and humans are in short supply. Red Spring offers no insight on the origins of the infestation, or the state of the rest of the world outside of the Toronto/Barrie region; this choice – to focus on a small group of survivors trapped in a pressure cooker situation – is one of the film’s best decisions.

When it works, Red Spring succeeds because of two elements: its mythology and its characters. The former is comprised of smart vampires, who still have the ability to plot and plan in addition to super powers like advanced smell. The creature effects makes them look a little like the rock band KISS – large black rings around the eyes, white face make-up and elongated nails – though they’re most effective when glimpsed in passing or in the shadows.

The other strength is the characters. Sinasac has created some broad stereotypes – the gruff military man, the final girl, the comic relief – who are initially quite grating. As the film progresses (and the cast is expectedly whittled down) however, the actors come into their own and become far more enjoyable. The banter, in particular, when they eventually end up trapped in an underground bunker as things go south, is highly enjoyable.

Red Spring does have its share of weaknesses. The most obvious problem is the low budget, which frequently forces Sinasac to devise creative directorial strategies for his attack sequences (a night time attack in the wood is great) but green screen scenes early in the film are distractingly awful. Additionally the acting varies wildly: Sinasac is a solid every man protagonist, while Elysia White shines as resourceful Vicky, who can handle a weapon and owns the bunker. As military leader Mitchell, Reece Presley has a tendency to overact and Lindsey Middleton (Bailey) oscillates between plucky and amateurish. 

Overall Red Spring is an enjoyable entry into the horror apocalypse subgenre. The film benefits from an intriguing mythology and several great characters, though it suffers from poor special effects and some bad acting. If you’re tired of those dull as dishwasher zombies, the film a great alternative.

Red Spring had its world premiere at the 2017 BLOOD IN THE SNOW film festival, which runs from November 23 – November 26. Festival passes and individual tickets are on sale now at www.universe.com/bitsff
