David Lynch "may never make another film" due to the profit business.

To me, independant cinema doesn't mean films that compete with the latest blockbusters (as the popcorn selling spectacles are inapprpriately called). Or that they are shown in cinemas at all.
I doubt, however, that the internet is a good forum for anything that strifes to be a cinematic experience. For tablets and smartphones because they are too small, and principally because our patience has been ruined by the possibilty to skip and switch. If anything, cinema is synonymous with 'larger than life' and something that demands exclusive attention.

This is all actually a good thing. It means talent like Lynch will flock to on demand services (Vimeo included) and small cinemas. The big cinemas need to die a death and be taught a lesson.

It's the viewer's experience that suffers with the internet rather than so much the filmmaker's chances of getting it seen.
yep he doesn't like telephones! - but the world is moving on and this is now becoming the way people are watching films on the move
I have started to do this myself just his past few months alot!!
Netflix is a useful resource to tap into!! I use it alot to look at films for ideas
Most people in their 20's and 30's who grew up with computers/internet in 90s simply don't share his distaste for watching movies on pc/laptops/tablet/phone. If it's streamed/downloaded properly and you got your headphones and you're watching it without interruption, it's just about as immersive as cinema. Personally, the only times the phones take me out of the cinema experience is when they ring..IN THE CINEMA.

I think what Lynch is really highlighting is the fact that the impact of the viewing experience will be different & so, in some cases, will undermine the original vision of the filmmaker (who probably was thinking about what his film would look like on a big screen). But, times change & if you're happy watching a film on a tiny screen then that's fine.
On another point, i've read an increasing amount of articles that have pointed out that TV is the new ground for innovative story telling & ironically Lynch's name always pops up in relation to how Twin Peaks changed everything.
Another trend that is an interesting concept is the live streaming of an event at the cinema, be it a play, a concert etc...
What this quite clearly demonstrates is that cinemas are starting to see that they do have to offer something different, because some people aren't necessarily going on mass anymore - the people with the real money i.e. not the 16-25yr olds that Hollywood has always been after/pandered to.
However, i really see the rise of the small indie cinemas as being crucial to tapping back into a grouping that isn't being pandered too - the only problem is convincing them that its worth going back to the cinema...

It's not a matter of getting used to a habit or of overcoming a distaste. There have been studies in the 90ies about the correlation of the film image's size (relative to the viewer's field of vision) and how many details of the plot could be reported afterwards. There is a clear proof that size matters, and the advantages lie in the two-digit percent-range. Is this so hard to imagine? What about Blue Velvet, with all it's very dark scenes? What about Lawrence of Arabia, with it's grand panoramas? What about 2001, with it's dominating blackness that represents immeasurable distances and works as a wormhole for our 'doors of perception'? But even an easy-to-digest movie like Transformers will never have the same impact on a phone, retina display or not.
If small screens were the future, why then discussions about 4k? You can do without higher resolution (see Lynch's Inland Empire), but for a cinematic experience you must blow it up!
Today, giant tv sets and high quality beamers have made home cinema installations easy and affordable. With the right attitude (isolation of your screening room from the rest of the mundane world, dimming the lights, raising the volume, becoming unavailable for calls or other messages), you needn't go to the cinema, only if you want to see a new film.
What is more, people in their 20's suffer from a form of deprivation, for which their smartphones are as well the cause and a kind if remedy. I am in several facebook and whatsapp groups (I have to, if I want to keep in touch with people of that age). I assure you, it's not just a silly game like when we used to send us silly or obscene letters under the desks. It's stultifying. The road to disaster.
However, as the very interesting 'Lincoln'-thread suggests, cinema is experiencing a crisis. Maybe two hours are either too long to transport an audiovisual idea or way too short. Films should either run 3 minutes or develop interactively as a television/internet series with open end. If the form can change - the size, the length, the narrational structures, what have you - the content will allow for new ventures as well. An example: Erdogan might learn from a short clip that he no longer represents his people and is disempowered effectively, making the future development a mere formality. 'Film' could become an instrument of communication in the best sense.

I suspect Lynch turned his back on TV after his Mulholland Drive pilot was never picked up and he had to take funding from the French and turn it into a feature in order to get it seen.
American TV is not a good medium for auteurs like Lynch who want total creative control. Perhaps it will be in 5 years, but not yet.
can you imagine kids today sitting through 'Lawrence Of Arabia' or 'Dr Zhivargo'..... 3 hrs long....
two of my favourite all time films ever, David Lean and Freddie Young at their best ..
long takes ,stunning cinematography , no MTV quick edits , no CGI explosions and a story with a plot and grown up dialogue......etc etc
Films are now made for a gerenation with ADHD and 40 minute attention spans and sound bite one liner scripts.
So roll on the Indie arthouse digital revolutuion , if it makes more new directors make intersting films then thats a good thing in my book!!

First of all, I must say I am a big fan of Lynch's films
However, Hollywood producers are really really tired of David Lynch this type of arrogant directors.
In fact, there are a lot of reasons to dislike him, he's arrogant, non-marketable with freaky personality. What's worse, his projects flopped way too often.
If you are so full of yourself and think your movies are greater than most hollywood directors. Just take your shots at those blockbuster scripts and make a fortune of yourself first.
Do you actually think Christopher Nolan likes to direct Batmans that much instead of working for his own written pieces?
The reality is, you need money to run your art forms, sir.

I totally agree. The truth is, making high quality, avante-garde stuff has never been cheaper. Lynch just wants to make a bunch of money off vanity projects. That's not how the world works now or in the past. There is nothing stopping him from making great movies, other than he is getting lazy, and doesn't want to work for it.
As an aside, he'll be directing the new Nine Inch Nails video that should appear before the end of the week. Looks like he shot it with a 5D3.

To be fair Lynchie has already done that and got his ass kicked.
I refer of course to Dune. A magnificent movie until the money ran out.
The first ten minutes blew me away and still does every time I watch it.

In a recent interview (one of the sat/sun papers) he actually said that he hasn't made a film for a while because he hasn't come up with an idea that he likes - no real mention of cash problems.
In return, he's had a photography exhibition (he was a photographer first), does Painting & has an Album of music coming out soon (not his first - if you never heard his collaboration with Sparklehorse, then its a must).
He also does music videos (NIN etc...), did a live Duran Duran concert (yep that's for the cash!) & numerous TV ads - the latest being for Chanel.
He'll do something again, i've no doubt about it...& it will be amazing as always!

I was watching this yesterday. Just insanely ambitious, if you haven't read the book it makes no sense! Everything is voice over...
It looks beautiful though...
Amazing art direction sets and costumes. Beautiful colours
Of course it set the scenes for later Star Wars and Chronicles of Riddick rip offs, just that Dino should have thrown more money.
The first part of the movie is pure class
Princess Irulan: A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that is is the year 10191. The known universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam the Fourth, my father. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. A product of the Spive, the red Sapho juice, stains the lips of the Mentats but allows them to be human computers, as thinking machines have been outlawed. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has mutated over 4000 years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the universe without moving. Because the Guild controls all interplanetary travel, they are the highest power in the Universe. The Spice also plays a very secret role in the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, of which I am a part. The sisterhood has been interfering with the marriages, and the children thereof, of the great Houses of the Universe, cleverly intermixing one bloodline with another to form the Kwisatz Haderach, a super being. They plan to control this super being and use his powers for their own selfish purposes. The breeding plan has been carried out in a strict manner for 90 generations. The goal of the super being is in sight. But now, so close to the prize, a Bene Gesserit woman, Jessica, the bound concubine of Duke Leto Atreides, who has been ordered to bear only daughters, has given birth to a son. Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you. The spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe. A desolate, dry planet with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Fremen, who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune.
In fact, there are a lot of reasons to dislike him, he's arrogant, non-marketable with freaky personality.
You can direct Spider-Man movies all your life, but Hollywood will never, ever fund your movies if they are as boundary-pushing as Lynch's later work.
Disgusting post. You were basically saying that one of the greatest directors of all time and one of the true American film artists should compromise his principals and waste his time with culture kiilling garbage.
So, are The Dark Knight trilogy and Pixar films absolute garbage?
There are a lot of reasons for mainstream films to dominate the market. It's not only about marketing tbh, the genre, the theme and also happy endings make audience feel good about watching them.
Working for disney/comics/heroes projects generally break-even most of the time, if not a very high ROI. Lynch should at least have some sense about money and business.
Lynch has plenty of sense about money and business, he just doesn't care. He's fully aware that the nature of his work limits his audience, and he's okay with that. He just wants to create the things that he truly wants to create.
Your entire notion that Lynch could get whatever he wanted made by playing to the system is absurd given that Spielberg almost couldn't get Lincoln made as a theatrical film. Spielberg, who has changed the shape of Hollywood, and given it many of its biggest ever hits. Lincoln. Lynch's work is a million times less palatable to a mass audience, and a million times less likely to get major Hollywood funding.
All Lynch would have accomplished with your scenario was waste years of his life pumping out work he's not passionate about. Instead, he's given us beautiful and unique work. Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire...
The world is a better place because there are still romantic types like Lynch out there who are willing to go down with the ship for their art, and not just hacks ready to compromise themselves to get a better foothold in the cutthroat world of financing.
nahua and mtheory
Go down with the ship? Let not romanticize him too much. It's not like he is going broke by financing his own visions. At this point he's just a lazy rich guy who wants other people to finance his vanity projects.
And Lost Highway was an absolute abortion of a movie...
I think the reality is that Lynch doesn't have a good enough idea for a film right now and wanted to go on a tangent rant about what he thinks of the film industry. He has done the self-financing thing and he could do it again, and he was working on a screenplay recently, but it seemingly just hasn't grabbed him. He'd rather make music right now. Fair enough.

It's been a while since I've seen a movie MADE for the big screen. When I finally got around to watching the original Planet of the Apes a decade ago I was impressed by the first few scenes. Seeing them as little dots walking through the desert made me realize how little used wide shots are today. Of course Lawrence of Arabia also has scenes like that and it too is one of my favourite movies ever made. I can understand the younger generation not appreciating slow pacing, it took me until my 20s to appreciate Blade Runner but having movies as one giant explosion is a bit too far in the opposite direction.
I like David Lynch, even his failures are interesting and engage the viewer. He's still creating art even if you can't classify it as a good film. Dune was amazing as a child, I still have a soft spot for it despite the flaws. It wasn't just the lack of money but also the editing that killed some of the original vision. He most definitely could still be making films but I think like a lot of directors of the era (Spielberg included) if it's not on the big screen it's a bit below them. I know if I were Spielberg I'd be pretty pissed if I had to change my delivery method while terrible directors were getting produced.

Just wondering if anyone has participated in a triathlon before and if so, what kind of training do you do to prep yourself?
I am currently training for one (date undetermined), but have no experience in this arena.
I'm 72" 190lbs and hold around a 10-12 BF%. I do however have some small right knee, lower back, hip, foot and shoulder problems due to being on airborne status for 5 years, but nothing 800 milligrams of motrin can't fix (My liver hates me). Naturally I'm not a distance runner but I am trying to see what my body can do.
I think the swimming is going to kill me, by the time I get to the water I'm sure my body will be toast. Any help from previous experence would be great. Thoughts, tips or pointers.
I personaly have zero triathlon experience.
I could only find this on Exrx.net for triathlon training. But this looks like a comprehensive site for triathlon info.
Thanks for the sites fellas. I found those to have some pretty good reads.
First, what is the date of the triathlon? You say its undetermined...but give yourself at least 3-4 months of training.
That is the distance you need to start. Its very manageable on limited experience.
The programs on exrx and other sites/books are very helpful for training schedules. Don't lift weights as a part of your training if you already are a weightlifter. Some is ok but this is about endurance.
Leg presses are great for building strength in your quads for the bike...but just do a warm up set and 2 moderate sets. The sprint distance is all about the bike so this is your main focus area.
Dips and some light shoulder exercises are good for swimming muscles...but again, you need time in the pool to learn breathing, good stroke technique and lung capacity. If you can do what they call a practice swim in a nearby lake, by all means take advantage of that. It gets you ready for the thrashings arms and feet. Wherever you signed up for the race should be able to tell you if they have practice swims. Remember, in the lake there are no lanes, walls or clear views to the bottom. Also, try to do a bit of sight swimming...lifting your head every few strokes to see where you're going.
For the run, if you have knee problems like I do, you'll need to do a slow, progressive training schedule...with just a mile to begin...building up to 3.5 by race time.
Bricks...bricks and more bricks...these are basically supersets of the events; swim then bike, bike then run. Biking then running is the hardest.
But practice the swim to bike because after a 1/2 mile swim, you can be out of breath and pre-exhaust yourself for the rest of the race. Follow the brick training on any of the sites...or I can go into more detail at another time.
Have a sports drink along with water on the bike.
You'll need to "get through" the swim...don't worry about time...just don't waste your energy trying to beat people. These are never won by the swim.
Have a good bike and take the run easy but at quick pacing (at first) to get the jelly out of your legs.
...and have fun. You'll find the atmosphere and volunteers make triathlons a great time...I love them.
Sorry for such a long post...but I have seen people hyperventilate in the swim and toss cookies on the bike/run...from lack of preparation. Not fun.
Your mind needs exercise too.
viking, thanks a ton, that is exactly the stuff I was looking for. I know I'm gonna have problems on the swim big time, but I'm trying to get in the water as much as possible. I guess I'm gonna have to re-do my workout routine as well, because I do lift weights pretty regularly. Anyways, thanks alot.

Clay shooter keeps a love for the outdoors
by: Dan Daru
BRIGHTON (KDVR) — Most of us would be pretty lucky if we could say we really loved our jobs. Cory Kraft can say she loves what she does, and about the only time you will catch her indoors is to go to sleep.
A lot of people pay a lot of money to get that perfect tan, but not Kraft. You could say it is one of the perks of her job in which she spends about 80% of her time in the Colorado outdoors.
"We are at Colorado Clays, and I am the manager," said Kraft.
For 15 years, Kraft has been a "Jane of all trades" at Colorado Clays, a place where folks come to shoot clay pigeons, pistols and rifles.
"I am responsible for marketing, customer relations, event planning, and general everyday duties," said Kraft.
More from Outdoor Colorado
She works to live and lives to work, and the outdoors is where she feels most comfortable.
Pretty good shot, too. Kraft actually learned to shoot here and said it was a positive experience.
"Once I started working here, I began an interest in shooting and at first it was really intimidating. It was scary in the beginning, it was actually really intimidating," said Kraft.
But once she got the hang of it, "it made it a lot easier, and it actually was very enjoyable," said Kraft.
Working here and shooting here shattered some strong preconceptions for Kraft.
"We have a lot of female shooters in all disciplines, whether it's handgun shooting or shotgun shooting, it's actually pretty amazing how females have gotten into the sport," said Kraft.
Kraft said there is just something about being outside, sometimes alone and sometimes with friends — but always with God, because she says this is God's country.

Jiya Jale: The Stories of Songs is a book by the author and television documentary producer Nasreen Munni Kabir, containing her conversations with Gulzar (an Indian filmmaker, lyricist, and poet) taking place from early 2017 to April 2018. Her second book on the same subject after In the Company of a Poet in 2012, it details the development of several of his songs and features their English translations. The book was published by Speaking Tiger Books on 10 November 2018 and acclaimed by critics for its contents and format.

Kabir got the idea in 2016 when she was asked by the filmmaker Mani Ratnam to translate the dialogues from his 1998 Hindi-language romantic drama Dil Se.. restored print to English. When she started working on the lyrics of the film's songs, she decided to meet the writer, Gulzar so she could get helps from him to guide her in the translation. Feeling it would be interesting if he could give more details about how he worked in lyrical composition, Kabir met him once more with the idea, which he agreed immediately. The book was done with fifteen -hour sessions of their discussions, while she was in London and he was in Mumbai.

Summary
Jiya Jale: The Stories of Songs opens with the making of "Jiya Jale", a song from the romantic drama Dil Se.. (1998). Its lyrical writer, Gulzar, told the book's author Nasreen Munni Kabir about how he and the film's music director A. R. Rahman approached Lata Mangeshkar to sing it. Gulzar also talks on why he makes the chorus in Malayalam while the main lyrics are in Hindi; the book follows it by featuring the English translation of the entire song. The Stories of Songs also examines development for more than 40 of his songs—which Kabir considered to be memorable—from the 1960s to the 2010s as well as their translations in English and their critical analysis, such as "Mera Kuchh Saamaan" (from the 1987 film Ijaazat), "Chaiyya Chaiyya" (also from Dil Se..), "Kajra Re" (from the 2005 film Bunty Aur Babli), and "Jai Ho" (from the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire).

Development and writing

Kabir came up with The Stories of Songs ideas in early December 2016, when the filmmaker Mani Ratnam asked her to provide English subtitles for the restored print of his 1998 film Dil Se... Having subtitled for more than 500 films at the time, Kabir called the occupation challenging—especially on the songs. She said many forms of translations could be made but only one that is original, leading her to a meeting with Gulzar: "I thought it would be hugely instructive if Gulzar saab (boss), who had written the lyrics, could guide me in conveying the essence of his words." The rendezvous took place at his house in Mumbai, and the first song they worked on was "Chaiyya Chaiyya"; she said most translations she found on the Internet to be mediocre and disappointing. They finished translating all the film's songs in two hours.

The "Chaiyya Chaiyya" translation result was later published by The Hindu in its 18 January 2017 issue with the title of "Decoding the same ol' feeling in new words". In the article, she also expressed her commendation on the direction, the music, the lyrics, the performances from the actors, the cinematography, the choreography, and the playback singings. According to Kabir, this motivated her to know more about how song lyrics are made from the perspectives of the lyricists themselves. Kabir told Gulzar about the project and immediately got his approval; this became her second book on him after that of In the Company of a Poet (2012). While In the Company of a Poet is about Gulzar's life and career entirely, The Stories of Songs specifically focuses on how he lyricised songs that are considered to be memorable by Kabir.

They had online conversations from early 2017 to April 2018, while he was in Mumbai and she was in London. Finished within fifteen sessions, she estimated that each took at least  hours. While translating his songs, Kabir avoided rhyming the lyrics in English—believing that it "invariably leads to introducing new imagery into the lyrics". She recounted that, after the manuscript was being ready, they checked it for several times "to get the flow right and to make sure the book accurately captured the essence of our talks". Ravi Singh of Speaking Tiger Books released the book on Amazon Kindle, hardcover, and paperback on 10 November 2018.

Critical reception
After being released, the book was critically praised for its focus on the topics and its question-and-answer format. Some of the reviewers also commended Kabir's English translation of Gulzar's songs and her effort to fill the book with new insights on his career. Manjula Narayan, who wrote for the Hindustan Times newspaper, called it an "excellent book that treats the Hindi film song with the seriousness and respect it deserves", adding that it marked the arrival of a new book genre—"the Hindi film songbook that combines anecdote, line translations, and serious discussion on craft and song vocabulary". Sumit Paul from The Free Press Journal took note of the book's format and appreciated Kabir for making such a magnificent work. Paul opined, "The whole narration ... bring out the honesty of Gulzar, who has been a witness to the very best in the past and has also seen the growing mediocrity in the tinsel-town. After reading this book, a discerning reader concludes that Gulzar is full of optimism. Never does one find even a streak of cynicism in him."

Deccan Herald Latha Venkatraman called The Stories of Songs easy to understand and thought that it could be re-read for several times. She concluded, "For lovers of Hindi film music, especially those with a discerning interest in good poetry, this book is a must-read". Writing for The Tribune, Renu Sid Sinha shared similar thoughts, recommending it for Gulzar's fans and those who are interested in Bollywood and explaining that she "has endeavoured to provide a novel understanding and backdrop to the Indian film song. The book, quite like the man himself, is great repository of anecdotes about Hindi films and music." Jai Arjun Singh of the India Today magazine summarised, "It's a daunting canvas, and for her slim book of conversations with the writer-filmmaker about his songs, Nasreen Munni Kabir took a pragmatic approach: rather than trying to be comprehensive, she focused on a few iconic songs through the decades, and allowed the conversation to take detours."

Q: Cucumber, Rails: has_content? test passes even though the string isn't there Scenario is:
    Scenario: View welcome page
    Given I am on the home page
    Then I should see 'Welcome'

And definition of the step is
Then("I should see {string}") do |string|
  page.has_content?(string)
end

The test passes whether the word "welcome" is in the home page or not. What am I doing wrong?

A: A step will only fail if it throws an exception. By its naming convention, the has_content? method returns false if the content is not in the page, and thus does not throw an exception. This will cause your step to "pass" when you intend it to fail.
You need to make an assertion with some sort of unit testing library (my Ruby is a little rusty)
Then("I should see {string}") do |string|
  page.has_content?(string).should_be true
end

You'll need something like RSpec to gain access to a library allowing you to make assertions.

A: Doing this the way shown in the other answer will work but will not give useful error messages. Instead you want
For RSpec
expect(page).to have_content(string)

For minitest
assert_content(string)

For others
page.assert_content(string)

Note that assert_content/assert_text and have_content/have_text are aliases of each other so use whichever reads better.

Another reason is that theory isn't just a separate thing you need to learn. It's part of the course and you absorb it as you go so you're able to. . .
For some, reading and theory may not seem to be important. But imagine what a handicap it would be not being able to read this text! Unfortunately guitarists have a reputation as poor music readers. Reading music actually isn't that hard to learn and it's a valuable skill that helps you to understand music and communicate better with other musicians.
Of course, it takes a little effort, but in this method you do it in easy steps note by note over time to absorb it naturally. G-ReaT takes you string-by-string through practice examples.
We live in a diverse world and diversity makes life interesting. As you go through the course, you'll learn different music styles and genres. It's a good thing for new players to become familiar with different ways to play. G-Rea-T also covers both finger-style and pick (plectrum) playing techniques used in various styles such as rock and blues, country and folk. You'll even learn some classical guitar techniques.
G-Rea-T explains how to write and create your own music with examples of famous composers. By following the examples you use the scales and arpeggios learned in the course to create your own melodies. This is how you'll learn both composing and improvising in the Music Creation sections featured in each of the levels.
G-Rea-T is the most comprehensive beginner's guitar course. So why wait? You can get Level One here today.
Level 1 Video Lessons and Level 1 Audio Tracks are FREE.


Although the title is facetious, it is my attempt to highlight the role of a therapist when doing very little, maybe even nothing.
Doing little does not mean that the little is not very influential. It may be more accurate to say that the therapist is working at deep and subtle levels. I am talking about something like the Taoist concept, Wu Wei— masterful inactivity.
In this talk, I want to describe and explore examples of this in certain therapies and therapists. At the time of writing, examples from Embodied Dream Imagery, from Sandtray Work and from a Sikh healing method come to mind as well as my own experience of Deep Imagery. In a way, I wish to move focus away from the heroic (masculine) therapeutic intervention that demands our attention to the not-so-easily-noticed (feminine) dimensions of the healing relationship.
Frank was President of the C.G. Jung Society of Queensland for 5 years to 2006. Since 1994, he has specialized in Deep Imagery as a healing process in individual and in group work. In 2006, Frank and his family were the subject of a widely-acclaimed SBS documentary showing his and his family's creative and inspirational response to the death of their daughter, Maeve aged 10, in a road accident in 2003. Frank worked for 7 years in statutory child protection work in Dublin and for 7 years as a supervisor of counselors at Kids Help Line in Australia. Frank is a professional member of the Australian Association of Social Workers. He maintains a private practice in Brisbane.

Check out this video explaining exactly what sets Plain/Flat Sawn, Quarter Sawn, and Rift Sawn Lumber apart. You''ll also discover why each type of sawn lumber has a different cost.
Plain sawn (aka Flat Sawn) wood is the most readily available type of wood to purchase. Milling this kind of material is faster as each log is sliced through the center. There is also very minimal waste involved. When you combine a larger yield of lumber with faster milling times, you also end up with a more affordable piece of lumber.

First Drive: 2017 Bentley Bentayga
Bentley's first SUV skips the learning curve altogether.
By Jared Gall Published: Nov 24, 2015
Legend has it that Ettore Bugatti once called the Bentley 4½ Litre the "world's fastest truck." We're guessing that he didn't know he was merely being prophetic. Because now Bentley builds an SUV, and guess what? Its 187-mph top speed is the highest on record for a vehicle of that type.
Why an SUV? Simple: People who drive Bentleys tend to have other vehicles (a lot of them), and the vehicle they drive in the winter—or when it's raining, or foggy, or below 75 degrees—tends to be an SUV. Now that Bentley makes an SUV, a lot of those buyers will make that SUV a Bentley, as well.
Bentayga Tested!
2017 Bentley Bentayga Test: Decadence, SUVonified
2017 Bentley Bentayga Tested in Moab
2019 Bentley Bentayga V8 Loses Little to the W-12
For the last three years, Bentley has sold more than 10,000 vehicles annually, a major milestone for the company. The Bentayga is going to help obliterate that record: The company plans to build 5500 Bentaygas in 2016. That estimate already has been revised upward once, and company executives tell us that, as interest builds, that figure may enjoy yet another upward correction.
And while the Bentayga might be tall for a Bentley at 68.6 inches, it's not otherwise particularly large for one. At 202.4 inches long and 78.7 inches wide, it's about 17 inches shorter than a Mulsanne and three inches wider. At nearly 5400 pounds, it's about 550 pounds lighter than the Mulsanne and just shy of a Flying Spur W-12. The floorpan is steel, but most of the rest of the sheetmetal is aluminum, including all exterior panels. Bentley says that the body side is the auto industry's largest single aluminum stamping.
With its (relatively) low mass for a Bentley, the Bentayga is kind of spectacular to drive. The damping of the multilink front and rear suspensions is exemplary. Even over the extreme speed bumps peppered throughout the hamlets of southern Spain, the most massive of wheel displacements are forgotten in a single, gentle compression and rebound of the suspension. The electric power steering is weighty and direct, although it doesn't enjoy a ton of feel. But by SUV standards, it's excellent. As are the brakes. The pedal is firm and progressive, and even barreling down the twisting switchbacks of the Sierra Blanca mountains, there was never a hint of fade.
Handling is neutral enough that you'll forget this is a 5400-pound SUV with a 12-cylinder engine in the nose. Sure, you can force it into understeer, but you can also set it up to flow through turns better than a vehicle this size has any right to, mostly because it corners remarkably flat. Its outstanding body control is the result of Bentley Dynamic Ride, a new active anti-roll bar that counteracts natural roll with a pair of electric actuators, one at each end of the vehicle to stiffen and soften the front and rear bars. It's a trick system, but don't expect the sports-car world to rush to adopt it. In order for the system to act quickly enough, says product-line director Peter Guest, it needs to operate on 48 volts, with a supercapacitor meting the voltage. With the bars, the actuators, the supercapacitor, and the heavy-duty cables—which he says are about four times the diameter of most automotive cables—the system weighs between 30 and 40 pounds. Bentley chief executive Wolfgang Dürheimer says Bentley Dynamic Ride is technically capable of leaning the Bentayga into a turn, motorcycle-style, but, in the interest of passenger comfort, the company stopped short of allowing that capability. We'd be quite interested to see what sort of impact that would have on cornering. The system allows a firm, controlled—but never harsh—ride on pavement but allows maximum wheel articulation off.
Ready to Crawl
That's right: off road. Because this is a Bentley meant for dirt, our drive included some semi-serious off-roading. At first we feared that the trail was going to be too easy, something a rental Toyota Camry could conquer, but we got into some pretty tricky attitudes—the oiling system is designed to keep the engine lubricated at up to 35 degrees of tilt in any direction. We crawled through a few ditches that had the Bentayga alternately kissing the ground—a few trucks in our group actually did scuff their chins, an occurrence that is probably about 10 times more expensive than your entire beater Jeep—and hanging a rear wheel off the ground at full suspension droop.
There are, of course, additional vehicle settings for off-roading: snow and grass, dirt and gravel, mud and trail, and sand dunes. There are two suspension settings that raise ground clearance a little or a little more (Bentley declined to provide specific figures). Hill-descent control holds your speed on downslopes, and there's an infotainment-system screen that monitors each of these settings as well as wheel articulation and incline/decline and side-slope angles. Also, the front parking camera is well suited to peeking over sharp crests for a better view of what's out of sight below the Bentayga's domed hood. Some of these features distract from the simple joy of driving through nature—as does the pulsing of the brakes mimicking limited-slip differentials—but you don't have to use them. They turn off automatically above 47 mph in case you accidentally drive onto pavement with them still engaged. At the end of the trail, Bentley had positioned a car-washing crew, but we waved them off and finished our drive proudly wearing a fine dusting of ruddy dirt over our Bentayga's immaculate Verdant Green paint.

My first experience with The Fringe!
I recommend this story , suicide is a difficult story to share and needs to be addressed. This story is told with humour and friendship saves the day!
The cast were great and entertaining!
Sara on July 16, 2022 at 1:27 am said:
Highly recommend! A life-affirming story of hope, friendship and love. There are touching moments as well as all sorts of comedy: dark humour, funny character moments, and light-hearted humour. Such a great cast and very believable emotions and acting, in my opinion. It's evident that a lot of work and love went into this production.

Q: Windows clipboard CRLF/LF passing wrong for one user We have a pair of applications.  One is written in C# and uses something like:
 string s = "alpha\r\nbeta\r\ngamma\r\ndelta";
 // Actually there's wrapper code here to make sure this works.
 System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(s, true);

To put a list of items onto the clipboard.  Another application (in WinBatch) then picks up the list using a ClipGet() function.  (We use the clipboard functions to give people the option of editing the list in notepad or something, without having to actually cut-and-paste every time.)
In this particular environment, we have many users on one system via Citrix.  Many using these pairs of programs.
Just one user is having the problem where the line delimiters in the text are getting switched from CRLF to LF somewhere between the SetDataObject() and the CLipGet().  I could explain this in a mixed Unix/Windows environment, but there is no Unix here.  No unix-y utilities anywhere near this system either.  Other users on the same server, no problems at all.  It's like something in Windows/Citrix is being "helpful" when we really don't want it, but just for this one guy.
Ideas?

A: Have you tried clearing their profile on Citrix?  That seems to be the solution to many many user specific Citrix problems.

A: Does Environment.NewLine behave differently on Citrix environments?  If so, it may give you a good option that works for all users instead of \r\n.

Precision and elegance in Eddy Anemian's collection for H&M, the design award 2014 winner
Patricia Munster 3:51:00 AM Eddy Anemian, HM Design Awards 2014
H&M Design Award 2014 winner Eddy Anemian has created a highly developed capsule collection, translating his painstaking techniques of cut and construction.
To create this special collection, Eddy has worked closely with the H&M design team to capture the elegant mood and precision of his winning designs. The pieces will be available at selected H&M stores, as well as online, from October 23.
"I had such a good experience creating the collection with H&M. They really respected the idea of the collection, translating my couture cutting and sewing techniques. It was like seeing my clothes made real," says Eddy Anemian.
"Eddy's winning collection was breathtaking. Everyone at H&M has enjoyed working with Eddy to bring his exceptional work to a wider audience," says Ann-Sofie Johansson, Head of Design, New Development H&M.
For his winning collection, inspired by Tilda Swinton's character in the movie "I Am Love" and the French painter Ingres, Eddy cut floral upholstery fabric into strips, then reconstructed them to create both structure and abstract pattern. This technique has been recreated for Eddy's collection with H&M, such as in a blue floral jacket with strips that spread out from the neckline, then curve inward over the hips. A long yellow floral skirt is constructed from vertical strips, while a white skirt is made from horizontal raw-edged ruffles to give the impression of the patterns found in marble. Alongside pieces such as a white jumpsuit with floral sleeves, there's a black heavy twill top, and a white pair of high-waist pants to provide contrast.
Eddy has just completed his final year at La Cambre, and is now hoping to gain more experience within the fashion industry, before hoping to one day launch a label under his own name. He is the latest winner of the H&M Design Award, an annual prize launched in 2012 to support and encourage young fashion graduates at the very beginning of their careers.

A new study now reveals just how often both Google and Apple mobile devices actually send data back to home base. The results are bound to shock you. Both companies keep tapping into mobile devices for data when in use and when they are idle.
Earlier this month, an investigation uncovered that Google stores the location of Android and iPhone users even if the users' privacy settings say otherwise.
A new study now reveals just how often both Google and Apple mobile devices actually send data back to home base. The results are bound to shock you.
Both companies keep tapping into mobile devices for data when they are idle and in use. When not used, Android phones send information to Google around 40 times per hour and the total rises to 90 information requests per hour for Android phones when they are being used.
Apple fares a tad better. When your iPhone is idle it sends info to Apple's servers 4 times an hour. During normal use, the number goes up to 18 for iPhones.
According to the study, Google even collects more data from iPhone users than Apple itself. But it only works when the phone is used. In idle mode iPhones very rarely communicate with Google's servers. The study, however, has been challenged by Google.

Lily is today's guest blogger, and is a student of Gifted Online. Here, Lily shares her personal perspective on being a gifted child.
It's wonderful to be a gifted kid, but, as you would notice if you were one, there are certainly pros and cons. For example, academically gifted children sometimes find it hard to be good physically. We sometimes struggle in P.E and/or Art. Of course, everyone has a weak spot, but for gifted children it's usually something opposite to the average child. Average kids are usually great in P.E and Art, but not so great in History, Maths, Literacy/English, Writing and Reading. And then there are gifted kids: great academically, not so great physically and artistically. This can certainly vary but I know for a fact that it is common.
One of the first pros of being gifted is that you learn quickly. This makes you not only do well in school but makes you have the ability to learn quickly and well. There is always a thirst for knowledge in the gifted, and if this can't be fulfilled at school, it usually is at home via the internet, library or verbal questioning especially to the parent.
A problem about being gifted is that you think school would be great if it were like most people describe it: a challenge and a place to learn. But then, after attending your average class in your age-co-ordinated grade, you think, Why didn't I get the one thing I wanted out of this hour? New knowledge!
Sometimes being gifted is hard work (but luckily, we like that). You set very, very high expectations for yourself and you are disappointed if you don't reach them, whereas the average child would be happy to reach the point that you did. Setting high expectations is bad in the regard that you get so disappointed, even when you do amazingly, and good in the regard that you reach very high standards!
I myself have been very lucky because I have skipped a grade. Doing this has improved my learning experience but I still feel like our normal classroom activities are "boring". More about the word boring for gifted kids later. Anyway, I have a great teacher this year, Grade five (kids turning eleven in Australia), and have been lucky to be placed in the Year 7/8 Enrichment group for English, Mathematics and Spelling. (Year 7 – for kids turning 13 and Year 8 – 14). This is just a small example of how much a gifted child is ahead. (So basically I turned ten very recently and I'm doing fourteen year old work.) I know a few other gifted kids in my school also have a similar situation to me (but haven't skipped a grade). Sometimes I wonder, though, where will the kids in the top group for everything in Grade 5 go next year if they've already done the 'hardest' work? Sometimes, I just worry too much.
Now, let's talk about the word "boring". When you hear it from a gifted child it often means "easy and wasteful of my time". For a child who isn't gifted, it could mean "hard and so hard that I'm bored". A gifted child's boring is fun for a normal child, but a normal child's boring still boring for a gifted child. So it's very hard to get gifted children interested in things.
Thank you Susan. I am glad that you and your son have found a good school with challenges. Our school is pretty good, usually!
Thank you Teresa! I also feel like school is a waste of time when I'm not learning.
Thank you for your wonderful piece of insight into being a gifted kid. I know the struggles well, and often wonder how is this from my gifted son's perspective, he's 5.
We've decided to home school him, kindergarten and preschool were 'boring'!
Thank you, Angela. I have been homeschooled before; I really enjoyed it! Kindergarten for me was also very boring, mostly because we didn't 'learn' anything. We were very babied.
Thanks, Cecile! Your writing is amazing, too.
So well written, I look forward to sharing this with our gifted son, I think he will totally relate!
Thank you Angie. By posting on this blog I realise how many other gifted kids there are out there; we are just treated like normal children – there are too many of us.
As a highly gifted student, I fully agree with and appreciate this article! I'm a fourteen-year-old sophomore (10th grade— 15/16 year-olds) in all advanced classes, and whenever I complain that school is too "boring" and "easy," people look at me as though I'm insane. I screenshotted the bit about what gifted kids find "boring" so that I can show people.. Thank you for this!!
Hi Lily. I am 12 years old and gifted just like you. I am very fortunate in that I have wonderful parents who spend much of their time on my academics. I have hopped around from school to school, and none of them have ever been right for me. I think I have found a good situation in that I am homeschooling now and taking classes at about a 10th grade level. I hope you have found a "sweet spot" just like I have. And by the way, I love your assessment of a gifted child's definition of the word "boring", that's what it has always meant for me, too.
Thank you for your story. My 6 year old has been recommended to be tested for entry into the GT program for 1st 2018-2019. I'm unsure whether to go forward, wait or not at all tested. I want her to achieve and to be challenged. But I don't want her to feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable.
I'm gifted, and I was practically reading about myself! Beautifully written, Lily! I hope that you write again on this website!

Making the MiG-25 a Mach 2 Passenger Aircraft
September 17, 2021 Topic: Russian Air Force Region: Russia Blog Brand: The Reboot Tags: MiG-25Supersonic AircraftCold WarSoviet Air ForceFoxbat
With some modifications, the MiG-25 could have carried five to seven passengers more than 2,000 miles.
by Michael Peck
The Soviet MiG-25 Foxbat was many things. An interceptor, reconnaissance aircraft and a fast, high-altitude, record-setting bogeyman that scared the pants off Western air forces in the 1970s.
But a MiG-25 business jet? Coffee, tea, or vodka served by an Aeroflot stewardess at 60,000 feet, the Earth below hurtling past your window at three times the speed of sound? Forget being imprisoned in cattle class on a Boeing 747, your knees jammed into your face for eight hours. Think New York to London in two. That's traveling in style.
The idea never got off the drawing board. But it was under serious consideration, according to Yefim Gordon and Sergey Komissarov, authors of Unflown Wings: Unbuilt Soviet/Russian Aircraft Projects Since 1925.
The aircraft would have carried five to seven passengers or up to 2,000 pounds of cargo at a cruising speed of Mach 2.35—that's 1,552 miles per hour. MiG would have lengthened the wings as well as added extra fuel capacity to extend passenger jet's range to 2,200 miles, versus about 1,100 miles for a Soviet Air Force MiG-25P.
A photo of a model in Unflown Wings shows a stretched-out MiG-25 with a larger and wider forward fuselage. "Behind the flight deck was a passenger cabin with one-abreast seating for six and an aisle, with a port-side entry door immediately aft of the flight deck," Gordon and Komissarov write. "The cabin could be converted for cargo carriage by removing the seats."
The concept was the brainchild of some imaginative soul at the MiG design bureau. His bosses were interested, and the Soviet air force somewhat so. MiG conducted preliminary design work on the project from 1963 until 1965.
"However, the relatively short range, limited usage of the aircraft and the large amount of design work needed all consigned against the Mikoyan biz-jet and the project was abandoned," according to Gordon and Yefimov, who believe that this might have been the world's first supersonic business jet.
It was not to be—and that was probably fortuitous. The Concorde proved a commercial flop due to fuel costs, as well as concerns about its noise and environmental impact.
While the Soviets had plenty of oil and couldn't have cared less about pollution, how economical would it have been to run commercial flights with a fighter jet on steroids? Supersonic transport across the vast Soviet empire would have been nice, but a 2,000-mile range would have been somewhat limited.
The MiG-25 needed lots of maintenance, especially of its engines. Most likely a business jet would have ferried only senior officials, who would have appreciated the convenience and ignored the cost. No doubt it would also have been popular with its flight and ground crews. The Foxbat was dubbed "Flying Restaurant" by Soviet personnel who enjoyed partaking of the 132 gallons of pure alcohol needed for braking, cooling and de-icing.
Still, next time you find yourself sentenced to flying in coach, close your eyes and imagine whisking to your destination at three times the speed of sound in a converted fighter jet.
If only it could be so.

The United States and America steamboat disaster was a collision between two US Mail Line Company ships on the Ohio River in 1868.   Both ships were sunk and about seventy-four people died. The death toll makes this accident one of the worst Ohio River maritime disasters of all time.

On the night of 4 December 1868, sister ships owned by the US Mail Line Company collided on the Ohio River near Warsaw, Kentucky. Confusion among the pilots with the passing signals was the primary cause. The sidewheeler United States was struck by the sidewheeler America  forcing barrels of flammable liquids into United States fireboxes. Both vessels became engulfed in flames and burned to the waterline and sank.

Collision
United States and America were recently built steamships employed in daily passenger, freight and mail delivery between Louisville, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. Both were of classic double cabin side wheeler design and over 300 feet in length. They were reported to be the fastest packets on the river at the time. Both boats were owned by the US Mail Line Company and would routinely pass one another along the stretch of river near Warsaw Kentucky where a great bend in the river exists.  The pilots had a routine of passing with the Cincinnati (upriver) boat would take the Kentucky side for the passage and the down bound boat would pass on the opposite Indiana side.

On the night of the deadly collision, the routine pilot on America had disembarked at Ghent, Kentucky for a family visit.  A relief pilot unfamiliar with the routine passing agreement was at the helm.  Lookouts on each boat spotted the other at a range of about 1 mile.  The closing speed of the two vessels was about one mile every two minutes (30 miles per hour). America's relief pilot, a man named Captain Napoleon Jenkins, decided to signal for a two-whistle pass, meaning that they vessels would pass on the right.  This is the opposite of the routine practice for these two vessels.  The pilot on  United States, unaware of relief pilot on the sister ship, immediate responded with a signal for a one-whistle pass (i.e. to pass on the left, as routine).  Apparently, this steam whistle blast drowned out Jenkin's second whistle from America  .  As a result, both boats turned for the Indiana side of the river.

The upbound boat, America, rammed the down bound sidewheeler United States just forward of midships.  Approximately 75 people were on board each vessel, many who were in their cabins in their night clothes. The impact started a fire on United States when some flammable liquids were spilled and reached the firebox.  The fire quickly spread on United States as the two vessels made for the nearby Indiana bank.  America  came to the aid of United States pulling along aside to provide escape for passengers and crew.  The fire then spread to America.

Passengers and crew rushed to abandon the burning vessels and many acts of valor were documented.  In the end, about seventy people perished on the United States along with four from America  . Survivors were tended to by local farmers and citizens of Kentucky who made their way across on small craft.  Both United States and America burned to the water line and sank.  United States sank at the Indiana bank near a place called Rayl's landing.  The burning America broke loose from shore and drifted downriver a few hundred yards and sank neat the mouth of Bryant's Creek, which enters the Ohio River in Switzerland County Indiana.

The entire event transpired over about 45 minutes from about 11:30 pm to shortly after midnight.

Aftermath
Survivors were cared for by Switzerland County farm families and Gallatin County, Kentucky residents who had witnessed the fires.   The U. S. Mail Line Company sent the steamer C. T. DuMont to the scene to return survivors to Cincinnati.   The chief clerk sketched a map of the accident area that was published in the Cincinnati Daily.   The death toll is uncertain due to the loss of the passenger manifest from United States, but the best estimate is 74 souls.      Bodies were recovered for some time and along a great length of the Ohio - as far downriver as Madison Indiana.   United States was determined to be salvageable and was raised by the salvage vessel Underwriter in early 1869.  It's hull was rebuilt with the rebuilt vessel retaining the name United States.  This vessel served the U. S. Mail Line Company for many more years.   America was not salvaged and it's hull remains somewhere near the mouth of Bryant's creek.   A 1967 barge accident caused the Markland Dam to lower the Ohio river level dramatically and the hull was visible.   Markland Dam was built in 1959 and has raised the river level some 37 feet since the time of the accident.

An inquest was initiated by the Board of Steamboat Inspectors at Cincinnati to investigate the accident.  Both pilots were found to be at fault.  The board sanctioned Mr. Jacob Remlein, pilot on United States, for signaling before hearing the full signal from the upbound America, and Mr. Napoleon Jenkins, pilot on America, for not stopping at 800 yards distance when the passing signals made were in conflict.  Lawsuits against U. S. Mail Line Company were filed in Indiana court, but none were ever fully adjudicated or settled due to confusion over jurisdiction on the Kentucky - Indiana state line.   An insurance claim was paid to the company but came far short of the loss of the company's two finest steamers..

The death toll makes this accident one of the worst Ohio River maritime disaster of all time, along with Lucy Walker (1844) and  Missouri (1866).

J. G. Robinson was appointed locomotive superintendent of the Great Central Railway in July 1900, the year after the opening of the extension to London. This volume describes in detail the full range of liveries that were applied by the Great Central to the twenty-eight classes of passenger, freight and mixed traffic locomotives, as well as the railcars, that Robinson designed for the company. Chapters give a brief history of each class of locomotive and detail the changes made to their liveries over time. The book is illustrated throughout with a selection of photographs to support the descriptions in the text and supplemented with colour sample panels typical of the liveries that would have been applied in the early twentieth century.
This illustration was published in The Railway Magazine. Nos 192 and 194 were the first 'Atlantics' and were to be painted black until someone decided otherwise. The livery of Brunswick green and crimson as depicted in this picture is accurate, but the shades of those colours may be doubtful. The green sides to the splashers are noteworthy.
