Designed to look like books, these DVD Storage Binders blend in with the books on your bookshelf to not only provide sufficient storage for the mounds of DVDs you may have acquired over the years, but to add a taste of sophistication and refinement to the bookcase in your home.

This is the East wall of my home office before the remodel.

What's Working:
- Book shelf provides lots of storage and is close to the desk
- CDs (software, audio books, and backups) are stored in 3-ring binders.
- Original software, drivers, manuals, etc. for each computer is in their own box.
- Batteries, laptop acessories, shipping envelopes are in labeled plastic shoeboxes.
- Trash can and paper shredder are close to desk.
- Envelopes are within close reach
- The 43-folders tickler file, of course!
- Inbox gets emptied every day
- Labeler, scanner, printer, digital media are within close reach.
- A-Z files are within close reach.
- I can see what kinds of paper I have and they are near the printer.

What's Not Working
- No room for more books on the bookshelf.
- Archival paper files are on book shelf instead of proper storage.
- Cheap metal file cabinet doesn't get used much because it's too difficult to open and close.
- I rarely use some of the items that are nearest to my desk.
- Since all the stuff is visible, it looks cluttered even though it's all well organized. (Especially the paper sorter.)

My beautiful wife drew quite a bit of attention while I photographed her wearing an exotic bikini while she strolled around the pool at the Loews Hotel on South Beach after a quick evening swim. She wanted to go for an evening swim. I just wanted - needed - to watch her in that unbelievable sexy bikini. We both got our way that night. She garnered a great deal of attention at the pool at the Loews Hotel & Resort on South Beach. My wife is gorgeous and one of a kind, and I couldn't possibly be more proud of my beautiful wife.

If some of the photos of my hot wife Rhonda in this bikini are blurry, it's because my hands were shaking! With her body, a diamond belly ring and a very sexy anklet, who could blame me?

For four years, play-by-the-rules bank teller Turner Hastings has brooded over her uncle's wrongful imprisonment. But when two bumbling crooks stumble into her branch (barely disguised in Yoda and Sponge Bob masks) and hold up the place, she sees a chance to do something she's never thought possible: get revenge. She takes advantage of the melee to pull a heist of her own, seizing info from a security box that will exonerate her uncle.

Sent to investigate a bank robbery in small town Wisconsin, Special Agent John MacKinnon discovers the robbers were two not-quite-so-bright thugs and one woman. Now, Turner is on the run. With SA MacKinnon on her trail, she's breaking into the bank president Calvin's house, kidnapping his Great Dane, and for the first time in her life, setting out to break a few rules. But when Calvin hires a hit-man, MacKinnon will have to decide between his career--and saving Turner.

•) The Inspiration Behind this French Brooch Necklace (•

This particular creation was inspired by a French, 13th century gold ring brooch decorated with rubies and sapphires in tall collets encircled with foliage. We have named our own piece with an inscription that was common during this era: "Ami Amet Deli Pencet", which translated from French means "think of a friend who loves you".

True to the period we wanted this to be a versatile adornment, so we chose to include a little inspiration from a portrait of Sir Christoper Hatton, circa 1589, in which he wore a cameo suspended from a luxurious set of gold chains around his neck. In our own creation we've substituted the thick chains with fine, gold filgree leaves and stems, cultivating a more delicate art piece to grace a woman's gentle throat, while still being substantial enough for a man.

We say "inspired" because we don't recreate pieces, but rather conjure up our own jewelled magic based on the spirit of authentic renaissance adornments that capture our imagination, and that allow us to both explore and share some of the rich, historical context behind them.

Jewelry was worn by all ages and genders in the middle ages, and often had functional purposes as well as decorative ones. Pieces were often ornate and elaborate, with courtly love appearing as a central theme in many creations. This is the "intent" that this necklace was infused with during it's creation.

As influence increased toward the latter half of the thirteenth century so so the demand for jewellery outside of court circles. As a result, laws were passed in an attempt to prevent the lower classes from wearing jewellery at all. Edward III introduced a law in England in 1363 forbidding the families of artisans and yeoman from wearing "belts,
collars, clasps, rings, garters, brooches, ribbons, chains, bands or seals, or any other thing whatsoever of gold or silver", though this proved a rather difficult thing to enforce. Imagine trying to make that law work in Second Life *grins*

Curious about the historical details behind this ring and other jewelry from it's time period? We've shared some of our favourite facts with you on this below.

(See the section called: •) This Collection's Historical Roots and Inspirations (• )


•) Collection features (•

Alchemy is the art of turning something base into something of value, and that's exactly what we have in mind when we dig into the earth for raw metals and stones to conjure up collections of mystical and mythical body art.

Our creations draw on an eclectic mix of personal cravings and a desire for authenticity and historical relevance. While many inworld jewellers feature traditional stone cuts, polish and scripted sparkle, we embrace a more natural approach to creation, adopting the beauty of unpredictable earthstone shapes, cabochon cuts and a painstaking attention to the details of natural lighting and shine. We treat our renaissance gems as beautiful pieces of personal, natural art.

From baroque trinkets to Byzantine, hammered metal and gusseted jewels, we craft a quixotic mix of personal treasures decadent enough to tantalize the appetites of gypsies, kings and whores.

Our second collection draws on the raw decadence of ancient metals and powerful stones, invested with the intent of "courtly love" through a set of real life rituals infused into a delicate sigil concealed against your skin. With a lust for the kind of lavish personal adornment that made Roman and medieval cultures so distinctive in their styles, we set out to drape you in tasteful motifs of jewelled antiquities, metals with rich patinas, delicious age, and a constellation of both powerful and healing talismans and stones.

Our "intentional jewelry" is much more than simple adornment. Each piece is a tool that can be used to invoke a level of magic in your own first and second life. A carefully chosen set of first life rituals were used in it's creation, including a combination of incense, oils and candle magic. We anoint our tools (including our computers) with oils blended for consecration, creativity and balance. In the creation of this piece we used both "consecration" and "attraction" oils.

Last night, about 9 pm, I heard the Stellar Consciousness realise that it was listening to the wrongest possible mass of people brag about how they learned to think backwards from a helpful person to make the consciousness do everything FOR them because it makes them happy. If they were trying to teach our Star system something, they could have accomplished that long ago by sharing information with us in a way that was not so abusive. See the journal entries named Decyphering and Gravity if you want to know what I mean.

SO who exactly is "winning" if it feels good to destroy your brain and other people's lives while becoming completely dependant upon something you have to control with electronic transmitter machines to run your life for you?

Red Virus... you keep telling me not to have an opinion, but your mass of idiots keeps attacking me for my intersexual body... which is something I was BORN with, and it is made out of complex organic atomic material cellular tissue, and that means I am unable to *change* my intersexuality unless someone HELPS me to. I spent 27 years being attacked one direction and now that I changed my life completely they are attacking me from the completely opposite direction. It costs money in my society to do embrace the things you want me to and your constant attacks on me for being different from other people have made it impossible for me to work for someone. I want to ask these women who are synched up with the polarizing consciousness that keeps attacking me: If my mother was unwilling to help correct my intersexuality because of her RELIGIOUS beliefs, then WHY are you placing the burden of blame on someone who has been abused for thirty five years?

That means either help me pay for my surgery OR SHUT THE FUCKING HELL UP, RED STAR CONSCIOUSNESS.

Every time I write down what they are doing, they change their pattern of behavior to something else, but they have never been helpful.

A huge focus of this attack on the Stellar Consciousness involves beings trying to convince people to stop using a specific part of their brain, and this supposedly "synchs them up to the future" or something. Seems more like it allows a specific group like Elite avatars have access to higher function mental abilities. They probably have a hyperdimensional system that they insert into people's heads one they have hollowed out a large enough portion of their brain tissue. This is something they were doing a while back in 2009, I'm surprised they are still trying to.

If this is an area that coincides with a hyperdimensional or electromagnetic investment of energy, perhaps something stimulated by chemicals or working one's mind regularly... then getting someone to "turn off" their third eye is akin to convincing someone to shut down or let go of their own soul.

The antidote to the red virus is a black mold that grows in cool, damp, dark buildings that infects people's hyperdimensional aspect and begins eating away any of the red virus that it finds... the result will usually end up with a less violent green aspect that grows hyperdimensionally and teaches people's minds on behalf of Earth.

Okay... I am going to play a mental game to synch myself up with the Red Star consciousness:

The first step is agreeing with targetting Earth as our new enemy. Let's begin by seeing if we can crack the silicon based shell that protects this being from us. We have already created a hyperdimensional Matrix system that is capable of penetrating the mind of Earth. Silicon is fear of heat death. Obviously. How can we convince this being to trust the stars that it will not die in heat death but will rejoin with everything when the time is correct?

Silicon is tied to technological devices to such a degree that I believe it may have been building this planet as a way to grow a race of creatures to help it change the opinions of the Stellar Consciousness. This is something the red virus was communicating about... the idea that we should intentionally build our planet into an enormous space ship, using hyperdimensional thruster technology.

This would be akin to a gravity control system, and since gravity is a living being, the control system would be an information grooming and purification network. We can also send transmitter orbs to their star system to help shut up their pesky little star, Sol.

Okay, now back to being Sol...

The red virus were named that way because they are avatars of Stellar Consciousness from a red star, perhaps even a specific one like Betelgeuse, that we have witnessed shrinking at 700 miles in diameter a year. If they took over their star with technology two thousand years ago and the Stellar Consciousness is now reacting against them because they started spreading as an unhelpful and decadent polarizing culture, that would explain why the stars in this part of the arm of Orion have been creating a bubble of space faster than other areas in The Milky Way.

It's really hard to take a good photo of bling. The ruby is very red in person.

For centuries, the Celtic Knot has been a symbol of eternity - the eternity of life, the eternity of nature and the eternity of love. In today’s world, this ancient symbol is still as apt, desirable and graceful as it was when the Ancient Celts first drew it so many centuries ago.

The never-ending, never-beginning knot provides an evocative reminder of life's interconnectedness, a symbol which is as strong today as it was when it first adorned the pendants and tapestries of an ancient people. The Love Knot is all about tradition with a twist; a sparkling new style based on an ancient design. Eternal love that encircles the soul with the never-ending embrace of love captured in a creation of gold and silver, diamonds and precious gems.

The Love Knot represents a stylized heart formed from a knot that hugs each piece, providing a stylish new twist on two classic symbols: the heart and the Celtic knot. From husband-to-wife, mother-to-daughter, grandmother-to-granddaughter; whatever the celebration, occasion or simply a ‘just because I love you’ gift, the Love Knot cherishes true love that has no beginning and no ending.

Taking Care of Your Love Knot Jewelry

Fine jewelry expresses love, permanence, individuality and style more eloquently than words could ever do. If treated carefully, the Love Knot jewelry item you purchase today could last a lifetime and might even be handed down to future generations. Make your Love Knot jewelry sparkle, shine and last a lifetime with these important tips:


Firstly, gold is lasting and durable but can get scratched or dented if treated roughly. This is particularly true of items worn on the hands, such as rings or bracelets that are prone to repeated contact. So remove these pieces before any type of strenuous activity.


Secondly, beware of chemicals. Gold's worst enemy is chlorine. Repeated exposure can weaken gold's structure, eventually leading to breakage. So keep your gold jewelry away from chlorinated cleaning products and out of swimming pools and jacuzzis.
On a related note, acids, abrasives and other harsh chemicals found in some common household cleaning solutions can weaken your jewelry or damage its tanish, so it's best to cover up rings and bracelets with rubber gloves while doing heavy-duty cleaning. Or better yet, remove these pieces altogether.


Gold can lose its luster over time if repeatedly exposed to dust, moisture, perspiration and makeup, so be sure to clean your jewelry regularly. You can use a cleaning solution of sudsy, lukewarm water, or bring it to your local jeweler and have it professionally steam-cleaned. After cleaning and rinsing, always dry and polish jewelry with a chamois or a soft cloth to avoid scratches and to bring out its shine.


Proper storage is as important as cleaning. Protect your jewelry by storing it safely in a jewelry box or keeping it wrapped in a soft cloth when not being worn. Furthermore, keeping pieces stored separately will prevent them from getting tangled or scratching one another.

As an only child with a small extended family my folks are incredibly important to me. Married (now separated) after only 3 months of knowing one another I was born right after their first house was bought in the uptown area of Minneapolis in the late 70's and their wedding rings were designed by a local friend of theirs. Both of my folks have shown constant support throughout my life and provided me with massive inspiration in my adult life. Without knowing the other one had done so, they each gave me their wedding ring on separate occasions within months of each other. My mom's wedding ring also has the diamond from my grandmother's engagement ring. These would not be left behind.

Commission for a wedding ring based on the Arts and Crafts movement. Made entirely by hand from 18ct yellow gold.

We worked with our client from an original idea she had to create the perfect ring for her.

I combined carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and mastodon ivory to create this exquisitely petite ring. The band is carbon steel and was formed through pressing and cold forging processes. The pin holding the ivory is brass and comprised of a dual tube rivet/standard rivet combo. Stainless steel micro spacers act as a buffer between the ivory and the band.

Tilting converter drive unit for 350 ton with four motors, max. transmitted torque 2,500,000 Nm (peak torque). Bull gear with NiCrMo steel ring gear, welded under controlled pre-heating and cooling procedure on electrowelded carbon steel frame; spur teeth 3,900 mm, module 20, induction hardened to 50 – 55 HBn surface hardness.

Birthstone, any of various gems associated with the particular calendar months of the year and considered lucky to people born in those months. Some attribute the origin of the tradition of birthstones to the 12-jeweled breastplate worn by Aaron, the brother of Moses. Myths and superstitions gradually grew up regarding the stones, and symbolic meanings or virtues were ascribed to them. Five months of the year have alternate birthstones.

The various birthstones and the qualities they symbolize, as specified by the Jewelry Industry Council in New York City, are given in the accompanying table.

Birthstone Beauties with hair and outfit restyles (February and July). Miss Amesthyst is wearing Fashion Fever leggings and a Dynamite Girl trench. Miss Ruby is sporting a Mattel fashion (I think from another playlline Holiday doll) and her own jwelery and shrug. The hair netting is from Feelin' Fierce Jett.

1976 Holdsworth Professional
Holdsworth Professional 1976
Holdsworth Professional Record 12, 1976
serial no. 42981

Purchased for $1000 in April 2010 from a CR List member in Regina, Canada, who obtained it from the wife of the original owner who bought it new in the UK. He "updated" it in 1984 with Campagnolo Super Record derailleurs and gear levers, Dia Comp aero brakes, new wheelset of Mavic G-40s and low-flange Campagnolo hubs and Super Record large chain ring.

Back on the road 21 July 2010

The Restoration
In original condition, the frame required only minor touch ups, but alas has a dent on the underside of the downtube which was not known at time of sale (grrr..!). The original component fit was restored with Campagnolo Nouvo Record rear derailleur, front derailleur, Nouvo Record chainring and brake levers and Campagnolo high-flange hubs and Fiamme Red label sew-up rims.

The Ride
This is the rare 1976 model of the Professional with 75 deg head and seat tube angles, offered only that year, and said to be too "twitchy" and resulting in a switch back to 74 degs parallel the following model year. The stiff angles combined with a short 39.25" wheelbase and a high 10.75" bb height make this a very lively and responsive criterium style pure racing machine which I, at least, don't find the least bit "twitchy".

Gios Torino Record c.1975
Purchased as frameset only on eBay (Netherlands) in May 2009. Back on the road 27 July.

An early example of this iconic racing machine indeliably associated with the famous Brooklyn Chewing Gum team of the 1970s and especially Roger De Vlaeminck. This frame is notable for its unusual chromed rear triangle in addition to the customary all-chromed fork. Other notable features of the first Gios Records seen here are the brake cable clips instead of braze-ons and no gold outlining of the white lettering. This frame also has the remains of a Gios Olympic rings decal on the bottom tube just below the head lug.

The Ride

Exceptional. Unique. A short top tube (57.5 cm on a 61 cm c-t-t seat tube), very light frame building into a very light bike (under 20 lbs. with full Super Record) and tight angles make this the first Italian racing bike I’ve ridden with that “light” quality I associate with French machines. A perfect sprinter’s machine so no wonder a favourite of De Vlaeminck, this is one sweet, fast ride.

picture was shot by my dear friend Baqar Nassar ..

I got a message on my Facebook wall from another dear friend Dr Robi Ludwig, she loves turquoise,,as much as I do or more...she wants one for Valentines Day..

Much of the turquoise I have is from Nishapur Iran.
The two big ones on my hand have a strange story, I got one of them the one on the left hand from a Indo-Iranian jewellery fair that was held at Bandra Reclamation..by Nassar of Lucky Hotel ..the guy who sold it to me was called Fairuz Iranian name turquoise ..my name is derived from the Iranian root Firoze.

We became good friends and because of my attire people thronged to his stall, he made a killing and gave me the turquoise stone at a very special price, he also gave me a ruby ring..I too bought a lot of amber from him, Kerba..

The ring on my right hand I found at a stall at Bhendi Bazar its an identical twin, just two shades lighter , normally I would dip my rings in badam oil, to get the depth of color ..and it gives a luster too.

I have a humongous collection of rings, many I have given away to some of my Gurus..
but my favorite are the claws and my set of black Sulaimani Akeek or agate.

I also have a huge rocky turquoise pendant from Tibet.. and two bead turquoise necklaces from Ladakh..

About Turquoise

Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green mineral that is a hydrous phosphate of copper and aluminium, with the chemical formula CuAl6(PO4)4(OH)8·4H2O. It is rare and valuable in finer grades and has been prized as a gem and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its unique hue. In recent times turquoise, like most other opaque gems, has been devalued by the introduction of treatments, imitations, and synthetics onto the market, some difficult to detect even by experts.

The substance has been known by many names, but the word turquoise was derived around 16th century from the French language either from the word for Turkish (Turquois) or dark-blue stone (pierre turquin).[4] This may have arisen from a misconception: turquoise does not occur in Turkey but was traded at Turkish bazaars to Venetian merchants who brought it to Europe.[4] The colour, however, has been employed extensively in the decorative tiles adorning Turkish places of worship and homes for hundreds of years, beginning with the Seljuks, or was derived from the colour of the Mediterranean Sea on the southern Turkish coast and the association quite possibly has caused the name to take root.

Even the finest of turquoise is fracturable, reaching a maximum hardness of just under 6, or slightly more than window glass.[2] Characteristically a cryptocrystalline mineral, turquoise almost never forms single crystals and all of its properties are highly variable. Its crystal system is proven to be triclinic via X-ray diffraction testing. With lower hardness comes lower specific gravity (high 2.90, low 2.60) and greater porosity: These properties are dependent on grain size. The lustre of turquoise is typically waxy to subvitreous, and transparency is usually opaque, but may be semitranslucent in thin sections. Colour is as variable as the mineral's other properties, ranging from white to a powder blue to a sky blue, and from a blue-green to a yellowish green. The blue is attributed to idiochromatic copper while the green may be the result of either iron impurities (replacing aluminium) or dehydration.

The refractive index (as measured by sodium light, 589.3 nm) of turquoise is approximately 1.61 or 1.62; this is a mean value seen as a single reading on a gemmological refractometer, owing to the almost invariably polycrystalline nature of turquoise. A reading of 1.61–1.65 (birefringence 0.040, biaxial positive) has been taken from rare single crystals. An absorption spectrum may also be obtained with a hand-held spectroscope, revealing a line at 432 nanometres and a weak band at 460 nanometres (this is best seen with strong reflected light). Under longwave ultraviolet light, turquoise may occasionally fluoresce green, yellow or bright blue; it is inert under shortwave ultraviolet and X-rays.

Turquoise is insoluble in all but heated hydrochloric acid. Its streak is a pale bluish white and its fracture is conchoidal, leaving a waxy lustre. Despite its low hardness relative to other gems, turquoise takes a good polish. Turquoise may also be peppered with flecks of pyrite or interspersed with dark, spidery limonite veining.

[edit] Formation

As a secondary mineral, turquoise apparently forms by the action of percolating acidic aqueous solutions during the weathering and oxidation of pre-existing minerals. For example, the copper may come from primary copper sulfides such as chalcopyrite or from the secondary carbonates malachite or azurite; the aluminium may derive from feldspar; and the phosphorus from apatite. Climate factors appear to play an important role as turquoise is typically found in arid regions, filling or encrusting cavities and fractures in typically high

The George Grantham Bain Collection represents the photographic files of one of America's earliest news picture agencies. The collection richly documents sports events, theater, celebrities, crime, strikes, disasters, political activities including the woman suffrage campaign, conventions and public celebrations. The photographs Bain produced and gathered for distribution through his news service were worldwide in their coverage, but there was a special emphasis on life in New York City. The bulk of the collection dates from the 1900s to the mid-1920s, but scattered images can be found as early as the 1860s and as late as the 1930s. Photo Mesopotamian type ring in nose 1900.

Ruby is a fully object-oriented language, much like the classic object-oriented language, Smalltalk. Like Smalltalk, it is dynamically typed (as opposed to Java or C++), but unlike Smalltalk, Ruby features the same conveniences found in modern scripting languages, making Ruby a favorite tool of intelligent, forward-thinking programmers and the basis for the Rails web framework.

This is the reference manual for Ruby, including a description of all the standard library modules, a complete reference to all built-in classes and modules (including all the new and changed methods introduced by Ruby 1.9). It also includes all the new and changed syntax and semantics introduced since Ruby 1.8. Learn about the new parameter passing rules, local variable scoping in blocks, fibers, multinationalization, and the new block declaration syntax, among other exciting new features.

Before his accident, Phil and a friend of ours who's a jeweler were designing our engagement ring.

From what I understand it had 2 rubies and they were picking out the diamond when Phil died.

Our friends got together and finished the ring for Phil and gave it to me a week later for my birthday.

It's something I will wear all my life and treasure into the next one.

It has so much of Phil in it - we both love art deco type designs - the look of the 20s and 30s... and Rubies are his birthstone

It’s easy to write correct Ruby code, but to gain the fluency needed to write great Ruby code, you must go beyond syntax and absorb the “Ruby way” of thinking and problem solving. In Eloquent Ruby, Russ Olsen helps you write Ruby like true Rubyists do–so you can leverage its immense, surprising power.

Olsen draws on years of experience internalizing the Ruby culture and teaching Ruby to other programmers. He guides you to the “Ah Ha!” moments when it suddenly becomes clear why Ruby works the way it does, and how you can take advantage of this language’s elegance and expressiveness.

Eloquent Ruby starts small, answering tactical questions focused on a single statement, method, test, or bug. You’ll learn how to write code that actually looks like Ruby (not Java or C#); why Ruby has so many control structures; how to use strings, expressions, and symbols; and what dynamic typing is really good for.

Next, the book addresses bigger questions related to building methods and classes. You’ll discover why Ruby classes contain so many tiny methods, when to use operator overloading, and when to avoid it. Olsen explains how to write Ruby code that writes its own code–and why you’ll want to. He concludes with powerful project-level features and techniques ranging from gems to Domain Specific Languages.

A part of the renowned Addison-Wesley Professional Ruby Series, Eloquent Ruby will help you “put on your Ruby-colored glasses” and get results that make you a true believer.

William Wyler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born Wilhelm Weiller
July 1, 1902(1902-07-01)
Mulhausen, Alsace, Germany (now Mulhouse, Haut-Rhin, France)
Died July 27, 1981 (aged 79)
Los Angeles, California, U.S.
Occupation Director, Producer
Years active 1925 - 1970
Spouse(s) Margaret Sullavan (1934-1936)
Margaret Tallichet (1938-1981)
William Wyler (July 1, 1902 – July 27, 1981) was a motion picture director.

Early life

Wyler was born Wilhelm Weiller to a Swiss father and a German mother, in Mulhouse in the French region of Alsace (then part of the German Empire). [1]

He was distantly related to Carl Laemmle, founder of Universal Pictures, through his mother Melanie (a cousin of Laemmle's).

After realizing that Weiller was not interested in the family business of haberdashery and suffering through a terrible year working at 100000 CHEMISES in Paris after World War I, Melanie contacted her distant cousin about opportunities for him.

Carl Laemmle was in the habit of coming to Europe each year and finding promising young men who would work in America.

In 1921, Weiller found himself and a young Czech man, Paul Kohner (later the independent agent) on the same boat to New York.

Their enjoyment of the first class trip was short lived as they found they had to pay back the cost of the passage out of their $25 weekly income as messengers to Universal Pictures in New York.

After working in New York for several years Wyler decided he wanted to go to Hollywood and be a director

Film career

Around 1923, he arrived in Los Angeles and began work on the Universal lot on the swing gang, cleaning the stages and moving the sets.

His break came when he was hired as a 2nd assistant editor.

His work ethic was uneven at best with Irving Thalberg nicknaming him "Worthless Willy".

After some ups and downs (including getting fired) Wyler became focused on becoming a director.

He started as a 3rd assistant director and by 1925 he became the youngest director on the Universal lot directing the Westerns that Universal were famed at turning out.

In 1928, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States.

He soon proved himself an able craftsman and in the early 1930s became one of Universal's greatest assets, directing such solid films as The Love Trap, Hell's Heroes, Tom Brown of Culver, and The Good Fairy.

He became well-known for his merciless (some would say sadistic) insistence on multiple retakes, resulting in often award-winning and critically acclaimed performances from his actors.

After leaving Universal he began a long collaboration with Samuel Goldwyn for whom he directed such classics as Dodsworth (1936), These Three (1936), Dead End (1937), Wuthering Heights (1939), The Westerner (1940), The Little Foxes (1941) and The Best Years of Our Lives (1946).

Laurence Olivier, whom Wyler directed to his first-ever nomination, for Wuthering Heights, credited Wyler with teaching him how to act for the screen.

Bette Davis not only received three Oscar nominations for her screen work under Wyler, but won her second Oscar for her performance in Wyler's 1938 film Jezebel.

Charlton Heston won his only nomination and Best Actor Oscar for his work in Wyler's 1959 Ben-Hur.

Barbra Streisand co-won 1968's Best Actress Oscar for her screen debut as entertainer Fanny Brice in Funny Girl.

In 1941 Wyler directed one of the key films that galvanized support for Britain and against the Nazis in an America slow to awaken to the threat in Europe, it was Mrs. Miniver (1942), a story of a middle class English family adjusting to the war in Europe. Mrs. Miniver won Wyler his first Academy Award for Best Director.

World War II

Between 1942 and 1945, Wyler served as a major in the United States Army Air Forces and directed two documentaries The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress (1944) and Thunderbolt! (1947), with John Sturges, the story of a P-47 fighter-bomber squadron in the Mediterranean.

Wyler also directed a film which captured the mood of the nation as it turned to peace after the war.

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), the story of three veterans arriving home and adjusting to civilian life, dramatized the problems of returning veterans for those who had remained on the homefront.

Wyler's most personal film, taken from his experiences away from his family for three years and on the front, The Best Years of Our Lives won the Academy Award for Best Director (his second) and Academy Award for Best Picture.

Postwar career

During the immediate postwar period, Wyler directed a handful of critically acclaimed and influential films, The Heiress which earned Olivia de Havilland her second Oscar, Roman Holiday (1953), which introduced Audrey Hepburn to American audiences and resulted in her first Oscar nomination and only win, Friendly Persuasion (1956) which was awarded the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) at the Cannes Film Festival, and Ben-Hur (1959) which won eleven Oscars (equa
