![]() He then asks you to go to Riven to save Katran from Gehn, who has gone mad and is trying to convert Riven into another D'ni civilization. If you open the green book, you see Atrus in the K'veer basement, and if you bring him the white page for the Myst book, he goes back to Myst and burns the red and blue books, thus imprisoning his two sons forever ( Myst). However, they both tell you not to touch the green book. Sirrus tells you to bring from there the final red page, but not the blue one Achenar tells you the exact opposite. After you collect five pages, they tell you the pattern for unlocking a secret hideout behind the fireplace of the library. On the brothers' request, you collect the red and blue pages, and as you proceed, the brothers each tell you that the other brother is guilty of burning the books in the Myst library. In the library you find a red and a blue book, which are the linking books to Sirrus' and Achenar's Prison Ages ( Spire and Haven respectively). Atrus looses the Myst book in the fissure, and the book eventually comes to Earth, where you, the Stranger/player, find it and use it to go to Myst Island, where you find Atrus' library. Atrus finds out that Katran and Anna wrote the Age of Myst together, and the newlywed couple goes there to trap Gehn in Riven by opening up the Star Fissure ( Myst: The Book of Atrus). Atrus finds the Riven book, goes there, meets Katran, and marries her. Eventually, Gehn locks Atrus in the K'veer basement (the last area you visit in the Myst game). Some 14 years later, Gehn comes back and takes Atrus away from Anna to teach him how to Write Ages. ![]() Miserable and unable to cope, Gehn runs away to the D'ni caves, leaving his son in Anna's care. Gehn grows up, and later his wife, Keta, dies while giving birth to their son, Atrus. Anna and her 8 year old son, Gehn, escape to the Cleft, which is near the volcano over the D'ni cavern. Veovis, a conservative D'ni lord, becomes furious about this, and another lord, A'Gaeris (aka The Philosopher), destroys the D'ni city-and most of the life in it-with a huge poison cloud ( Myst: The Book of Ti'ana Myst: The Book of D'ni). The D'ni empire falls around the year 1740 when a woman, Anna, comes down into the city from the surface and marries a D'ni, Aitrus. The D'ni live in a great underground city for about 10,000 years, having the ability to Write books that can take their user to another Age, or world.

The floral notes present as sicky sweet grape soda. Here are the fragrance timelines and my thoughts for each.ĩ:00 AM: liquid goes on very LOUD. Performanceįor each fragrance, I swiped the solid on my left arm and sprayed the EDP on my right arm, at the same time, and compared the two while making notes throughout the day. I’m not worried that the case will break or accidentally slide open in my purse. The cases are durable enough to be tossed into a handbag, and the twist-up tube holding the fragrance snaps tightly into place. The new fragrance gesture should not be made on the lips… ![]() The packaging resembles glamorous, high-end lipstick tubes–so much so that Givenchy put a warning on the boxes that these are not for use on lips. The tube slides out of the case via a ribbon loop on the end. The clear acrylic case houses a twist-up tube that contains the fragrance. The packaging on both of these solids is phenomenal. Eau de parfum samples were purchased on Mercari (and also included with my Irresistible order, hooray!) Packaging (The solid is also available at Sephora and it’s still $34 there.) I ordered my Irresistible solid–also $37–directly from the official U.S. ![]() My L’Interdit was $34 (the price has since gone up to $37) and was purchased at Nordstrom. Virginia cedar is often a troublemaker for me, and I was afraid the rose note would be overpowering, but both the liquid and solid present as champagne fruity-florals on my skin, with the rose and cedar tucked seamlessly into the bouquet. (In this one, I smell traces of Ange ou Démon–probably my favorite Givenchy and another one that needed a little time to grow from a like to a love.) On the other hand, Irresistible was a blind buy but was an instant love. Having tried both the solid and liquid several times now, I have come around on the fragrance and enjoy it very much, especially in the solid format. In fact, I waited a full 18 months after the launch of the solid to consider it again and bought a sample of the EDP to try a few more times before purchasing the solid. I wasn’t nuts about L’Interdit when I first tried it in liquid format. In general, I like most Givenchy fragrances, but some have taken a while to grow on me. ![]() I’ll make just a few quick comments and then I’ll get to the details I think most people will find helpful for these two solids: the packaging and how the solid perfumes stack up against the eau de parfum versions. They’re very well-known scents with lots of reviews already available across the internet. I considered doing “Swipe” reviews of these, but neither is a new fragrance– L’Interdit is from 2018 and Irresistible from 2020. You can probably imagine my excitement at seeing Givenchy offer not one but TWO of their most popular fragrances in this format. Bottle sizes range from 30ml/1.0oz to 80ml/2.7oz, depending on the fragrance you purchase.There are so few designer/department store fragrance brands offering solids these days. Performance vs performance is excellent, and the price range is between £48/$55 to £83/$95. I love how Irresistible plays with opposite notes to contrast the floral concept, such as anise and woody notes, amplifying fragrances that provide the ultimate aroma of femininity. The Givenchy Irresistible collection is undeniably popular yet does not conform to the overly sweet, powdery traditional rose fragrances you would expect. My top pick is Irresistible Eau de Parfum, as the pear note adds a moreish sweetness to the elegant rose and the powdery iris soothes the sensual woody base. ![]() The "Stohler" part of the movie bicyclist's name came from another Tesich friend from his IU days, Bob Stohler, who was the manager of the 1962 winning team. Blase, 69, a retired high school biology teacher who lives today in Indianapolis, played the role of the race announcer in the film. I did shave my legs and I did walk along Third Street singing arias from Italian opera."įraternity brothers in IU's Phi Kappa Psi, Blase and Tesich rode on the winning Little 500 team in 1962. "My father wasn't a used-car salesman, but he couldn't understand my peculiarities and this business of riding a bike instead of getting a job. So what gave Breaking Away writer Steve Tesich, who died in 1996, the idea for such a durable and inspiring story? "It's based on fact and on my experiences, in large part," says Dave Blase, who provided Tesich inspiration-and half the name-for the lead character. "But the coolest event I ever attended was the Little 500." "I've attended Super Bowls, World Series and the Monaco Grand Prix," he commented later. When Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong visited Bloomington in 1997, he was impressed. The race pits fraternities, sororities, residence halls and independent teams in fierce competition, with the winner often determined in the final tenths of a second. The largest collegiate bike race in the United States, the Little 500 features teams of four members riding laps around a quarter-mile track. ![]() (This year's events will take place April 24-25.) Founded in 1951 by Howdy Wilcox Jr., executive director of the IU Student Foundation, the Little 500 was patterned after the Indianapolis 500, which Wilcox's father, Howdy Wilcox, won in 1919. Every year, the race traditionally marks the beginning of spring and anchors a weekend-long slate of other activities at Indiana University. The celebrated Little 500 race sets the stage for the movie's climactic showdown. The bathroom where Dave Stohler shaved his legs-to be more like the Italian racers he admired-is still intact, complete with the bathtub.Īnd if you're hungry after driving by the house, stop by Bloomington Hospital and grab a bite at the Breakaway Café. Owner Steve Percy is accustomed to cyclists pedaling by and shouting "Ciao!" or other memorable lines from the movie. "I don't think there's a week goes by that someone doesn't ask me about it," he says.īloomington's 2009 Breakaway Visitors Guide, with a title that echoes that of the movie, features locations from the film that people can still see today, such as the "Stohler Home" on South Lincoln Street. The Bicycle Doctor does business with customers all over the world, Dodds says, and Breaking Away has always been a major conversation piece. It was enough to buy a super stereo system that I still have today." ![]() He recalls that he was paid "hundreds and hundreds of dollars I don't remember exactly how much. Along with providing technical support for Breaking Away in 1978, Dodds was also an extra in a race scene. "For anybody in cycling, that is the go-to movie," says Dodds, owner of Bloomington's Bicycle Doctor shop. When Stohler and his three friends form an independent bicycling team to compete with the fraternities in the Little 500, they proudly call themselves the Cutters.Įven after three decades, the film's impact continues to resonate in Bloomington. In the movie, snooty fraternity boys clash with Stohler and his buddies, dismissively calling them "cutters." The term refers to blue-collar jobs in the area's limestone-quarrying industry-jobs that didn't require college educations. The story follows Stohler and three friends as they form a ragtag, underdog team to compete in IU's annual Little 500 bicycle race. Produced over six weeks with a modest budget of $2.4 million, Breaking Away was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning the 1979 Oscar for best screenplay. "It was one of those things that just happens, not very often. "The movie certainly changed my life," Christopher says. And dozens of Bloomington residents, including Dodds, found themselves in the film's intersection of real life and Hollywood.Ĭhristopher portrayed the central character of Dave Stohler, whose obsession with Italian bicycle racing unnerves his car-salesman father. ![]() The movie Breaking Away, filmed in the hometown of Indiana University and released in 1979, launched the movie careers of Stern and fellow actor Dennis Quaid, who starred alongside Dennis Christopher and Jackie Earle Haley. Then something came along that put both of them in the spotlight. "I had just sold all my furniture trying to pay the rent in New York," the actor says. "I had a truck that I would drive around to do repairs," he recalls.ĭaniel Stern was hoping to break into movies.

Get Materials Financing with up to 120-day payment terms. A one-year time period is used as the basis for classifying all other current assets and liabilities.'” “There’s usually a paragraph in any construction company’s financial statements that indicates, ‘Assets and liabilities relating to long-term construction contracts (principally retention) are included in current assets and current liabilities since they will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, although this may require more than one year. Even though those funds may not be collected within the “current” timeframe, which is 12 months, they are shown on the balance sheet as current. “When the retention for a project is moved from retention receivable to accounts receivable, the project’s retention due to suppliers and subcontractors is moved from Accounts Payable-retention to Accounts Payable-trade,” Peterson recommends.įariba Mehdian, a CPA from California, says that both retention accounts are shown as current assets and current liabilities, respectively. Since these funds aren’t due until the project is completed, they are recorded in a separate account on the general ledger. Retention payable is recorded by owners and general contractors and is the amount owing to contractors or subcontractors for retention. Because these funds aren’t due until the project is completed, they are recorded in a separate account on the general ledger. Retention receivable is recorded by general contractors and subcontractors and is the number of funds due from a contractor’s customer for retention. Therefore, they must be kept separate from the uncollectible,” Peterson says. ![]() ![]() “When tracking and collecting accounts receivable, we only want to track those that are collectible. Peterson, a construction finance educator and author, “The retention in the retention receivable account is not collectible yet because the contractor has not earned the right to receive it.” Retention receivable and payable is different from accounts receivable and payable. It can significantly impact the financial standing of contractors, especially when working on projects with a small profit margin. Retention doesn’t usually apply to material suppliers.īecause retention is withheld from each payment and paid at a later date, the unpaid funds have to be recorded and tracked accurately. The project owner usually holds retention from the general contractor’s payments, and the GC in turn holds it on their subcontractors. Retention can be withheld on residential or commercial projects and on both public and private projects. Some states even have a statutory limit on retention for projects within the state boundaries. The rate of retention is stipulated in the construction contract and can often be negotiated. It is intended to cover additional expenses if the contractor or subcontractor doesn’t finish the work or there is a quality issue. It provides a financial incentive to ensure that the work is of appropriate quality and meets the plans and specifications. Retention, also called retainage, is money held back from each payment to ensure that a contractor or subcontractor completes a project.
