As an enthusiastic MacMini user, I am pleased with the redesigned MacMini that was announced today. Seems to be a nice model for Hauptwerk, would you agree...?
I was not aware there were such things as giant render farms.
No animals or plants were directly harmed in this "render farm"
i7-6core, 32 GB RAM, 1TB Storage, 2 - DVI Diplay Outputs, Dual Touchscreen drivers?
I am betting around $2000.
At least. I'm guessing closer to $2,500 or even $3,000. Apple always charges a premium for RAM.
This is definitely a big step forward for many power users (although probably not gamers or video editors given the lower-performance video processor, see here: https://www.techcenturion.com/intel-uhd-graphics-630). Much better than the hamstrung previous generation.
I've also been thinking the new Mac Mini would be an outstanding Hauptwerk computer. My concern is touchscreen monitors.
Even with (or maybe because of) everything that's touch these days, touchscreen monitors for desktop computers seem increasingly rare.
As such, does anyone have an economical solution/recommendation for two touchscreen monitors that WILL work with the new Mac Mini?
I have two Acer T232HL ABMJJZ.
These monitors work absolutely fantastic with macOS, but they require that you also purchase the drivers from Touch-Base. And don't forget to buy the lifetime upgrade, as every new version of macOS requires updated drivers.
The Touch-Base support is hard to beat!
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me privately.
Hello, all. I've been absent from this forum for a while, but am now looking at possibly getting the new MacMini to run Hauptwerk. Which configuration is recommended?
I've just installed a new Mac Mini into an old Allen 505B console (2-manual) this past weekend.
The Milan sample sets require more resources than the Mainz organ set. With extended and high bit rate samples of either of the Milan sets loaded the MacMini doesn't even break a sweat.
Not sure of your budget but if I had to trim things down I would probably go with the standard 256 Gb hard drive (can always plug in an external one) and cut back to the 3.0 Ghz 6-core. I wouldn't want to give up the 32Gb RAM though. With my having only two manuals and pedals the quad-core MiniMac might've been enough.
However, considering my playing ability lately, I'm probably more deserving of an 8-bit Commodore Vic-20.

Wonder how many here remember those Commodores? Good machines in their day.
Thank you, wisartore, for your very helpful reply! I've been studying the specs of the MacMini, and am leaning towards the same configuration you have.
Is it correct to assume that I do not need an audio interface, but can connect the MacMini directly to my speakers? What do you have for speakers, if I might ask? I have one pair, and plan to get another eventually, for a 4-speaker setup.
Lastly, what do you use for a touchscreen with your MacMini?
I'm taking the 3.5 mm audio output from the Mini and splitting to A) a headphone amplifier and B) a powered subwoofer. The sub has R & L inputs as well as R&L outputs to the the two active monitors at the end of the chain. If I decide to add surround speakers I'll need to look at an audio interface.
Forgot to mention that I'm using a Roland UM-One mk2 midi interface plugged into the mini's USB-A port. The HW dongle is plugged into the remaining USB-A port.
The capture action on the Allen console is still functional so I'm using all the Allen hardware to control the stops. The problem that I have is that all the stop tabs are labeled to correspond with the stop names in my old Artisan sound engine. I have mapped the new HW (French name) stops to a corresponding (German name) tab but there are more hardware stop tabs available to me than there are HW stops so there are some "empty" stop tabs for now. I suppose this is a good problem to have but there are only three of the stop tabs labelled as couplers.
I'm using a little 10" 2K HDMI monitor that fits into the card drawer on the console. I have the resolution backed off to 1280 on it so that I don't need a microscope to read it. The small magic key board and magic trackpad fit into the card drawer as well.I had to carve out the drawer a little bit to get everything to fit into it.
I can view and control the mini using the iPad with the Luna app/hardware but I still need to get my head around that stuff. It's all still new and I need to do a little more re-wiring here and there on the console.

The Phoenix Theatre Ross-on-Wye Herefordshire
Wendy & Peter Pan (Phoenix Youth Theatre)
For years one of the highlights of the London pantomime season has been 'Peter Pan'. This week's production by Phoenix Youth Theatre was far more challenging. In taking on the Royal Shakespeare Company's version the company's director, Sarah O'Neill, raised the bar for her young cast. Far removed from panto it is more a fantasy drama, presenting challenges in staging; from the children's bedroom to Neverland and the pirate ship. As with previous PYT productions creative sound effects helped to establish changes of mood and location. The flying sequences were brilliantly achieved by clever lighting through the theatre's newly acquired gauze. Huge challenges for the backstage team but clever costuming also contributed, as in Peter's first appearance trying to find his shadow, (black from head to toe, mirroring Peter's every movement); from the Edwardian elegance of the parents to the flamboyant swashbuckling style of a superb Captain Hook played by Dan Canham.
The show belonged to Sarah's young cast. They delivered their lines with faultless assurance and I must mention a few. Lucy Roberts, such an accomplished young actress playing the mother, Mrs. Darling, a role she took on at less than four weeks notice, then switching character to double as Tiger Lily. The fairy Tink, an hilarious characterisation by Lily Hampson, straight out of Coronation Street! The audience loved her. Is Lily from the Forest? – hard to believe; Rochdale for me! Peter Pan superbly played by Eben Harris. Eben has everything, pace, agility, stage persona, clear diction. Eben simply was Peter Pan.
The scenes when the cast of pirates and 'lost boys' filled the stage was suberbly managed. And so we come to the final scenes. The reconciliation of Mr and Mrs Darling played with such maturity by Lucy Roberts and Ollie O'Neill; and the touching reunion between Wendy (The delightful Maggie Hearne who also took on the role at four week's notice!) and her mother with Peter hovering wistful and unseen beyond the window. The audience applauded and cheered; two curtain calls were demanded. In the foyer as they left some of the audience were seen weeping, so emotional was the climax. 'A wonderful show' they said. Phoenix Youth Theatre continues to go from strength to strength.
Reviews of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Phoenix Youth Theatre)
Over the past few years we have become used to seeing the theatrical bar raised with each Phoenix Youth Theatre production. From their WW2 production "Raid" (scripted by the company themselves), through the epic "Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe", to Willy Russell's contemporary comedy "Stags and Hens" this award-winning company of young people have excelled. With this week's production of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", PYT continue to push at the boundaries of professional theatre. "Alice" is not easy. The storyline does not pursue a natural narrative, but instead, with Alice's descent down the rabbit hole to Wonderland we follow her through a series of bizarre episodes until she wakes to normality. The curtain opens on a colourful storybook set with a silk-draped garden bench on which sleeps Alice, (played to perfection by the delightfully bewildered Rosamund Williams). Woken by the White Rabbit her descent down the rabbit hole is the first "coup de theatre". In a shaft of light on the darkened stage, amid vapour pouring from above, Alice climbs and trapezes high into the rabbit hole drapes before safely landing in Wonderland.
Here the young cast, aided by superb costuming, imaginative face-paint and make-up, introduced us to a wonderful array of characters. Another "coup de theatre" – puppetry under ultraviolet lights with the puppeteers concealed behind black gauze enables the Cheshire cat's disembodied grin to appear and disappear (together with the crocodile, lobster and assorted whimsies) alongside the onstage characters.

There were some memorable performances; Katie Pothecary (a PYT award-winning actress) brought a terrifyingly smiling Queen of Hearts to life. Morgan Harris's deranged Duchess faultlessly delivering accelerating lines of nonsense; Eben Harris (Frog Footman) and Oscar Morgan (Fish Footman) two eleven year olds performing an hilarious double act, also stepping in front of the curtain to cover set changes going on behind (can't wait to see more of them!). Then Mock Turtles Ollie O'Neill and Hannah Callen entertained us; and Knave Owen Needham-Church assisted by young Knave Noah O'Neill. With thirty young actors in the cast it is impossible to name them all, but their focus and concentration was total and all played their roles with distinction. Director Sarah O'Neill and her fabulous team of artists, costumiers, light and sound technicians, set builders, properties and backstage crew, all must be congratulated. Once again the Phoenix Youth Theatre bar has been raised in pursuit of excellence.
As the show started and Daisy Canham, as Alice's older sister, set the scene beautifully I was thinking to myself, the lightings a bit low for the set… Then all became clear! There was so much going on that I didn't know where to look first, but taking centre stage Rosamund Williams, playing Alice, did an amazing aerobatic display using two ribbons that were very cleverly utilised throughout the production. The UV lighting was another clever feature, especially in the very open stage area. The puppeteers did a brilliant job; I loved the Cheshire cat which was so simple yet effective. The set itself was fantastic, I loved the window over the door, and it truly amazes me how well the cast manage with such a limited space. I would love to mention everyone individually but if I did that, I would spend too much time making notes rather than enjoying the performance. Alice was well cast and I thought the facial expressions of the Frog Footman played by Eben Harris were better than a thousand words. On the whole I thought most of the cast did extremely well but occasionally I couldn't hear some of the dialogue. Unfortunately the Jam Tart scene was very quiet and I must admit I found the musical underscoring very irritating on these occasions as I felt it masked the quieter actors. Morgan Harris was very funny as the Duchess, and Katie Pothecary was a very dominant Queen of Hearts. Ollie O'Neill and Hannah Callen were hysterically funny as the mock turtles; their interaction with the audience was great and the adlibbing natural and effective. Harriet Storey has excellent diction and was very good in both the Mouse and Queen's Gnome characters. This really was a lovely production and the whole experience from entering the theatre to leaving was quite magical. Congratulations one and all for a lovely evening.

Stags & Hens (Phoenix Youth Theatre) reviews
Phoenix Youth Theatre has an enviable reputation for quality productions, much of it due to the dedication and skill of the backstage technical team. This has helped to set the standard for Director Sarah O'Neill's prizewinning company of young actors. And 'Stags and Hens' by Willy Russell (Shirley Valentine; Educating Rita) did not disappoint us. Ripe with innuendo the comedy is set in the toilets of a seedy nightclub and the set designer and construction team excelled in creating a ladies powder room stage R complete with toilet cubicle and a sink with water (repeated for the men stage L) and between them a central flight of steps in a dingy corridor leading up to the throbbing dance floor. Here the Hen party of Linda (Morgan Harris) and (unknown to her) the Stag night of Dave, her intended (played by Dan Canham) is being held. Thus we know we are in for humorous misunderstandings and some unexpected revelations as the play explores the pre-marital misgivings of Linda with her friends. Bernadette, unhappily married (superb blowsy vulgarity cameo'd by Zoe Hutton) out to get herself a bloke for the evening; Frances (a feisty characterisation by Yasmin Poole); Carol (Daisy Canham in a very mature performance combining world weariness and innocence) while Maureen, innocent and naïve (in a lovely display of comic timing by Hannah Callen) simply wants everyone to be happy! The girls' scenes alternated with the stags; young men looking for a pick-up, full of bravado and terrified lest their fragile egos are shattered by rejection. Thus 'Jack-the-lad' Robbie, (beautifully portrayed by Sam Callen) distraught at the mess drunken groom-to-be Dave has deposited on his trousers ('And me best suit too!') only to be turned down by a girl; 'I don't dance with men in suits!' Kav (young Owen Needham-Church) all cocksure arrogance; bullying Eddy (Adam Warner), only interested in the football team he's trying to hold together, and finally insecure Billy (a terrific comic creation by Billy Jones). Into all this appears Peter, a celebrity pop singer with his 'Roadie' – Billy Jones and Sam Callen doubling up to create totally new characters demanding some astoundingly slick costume changes (a huge 'Well done' to Billy and Sam). Amongst all the comings and goings two performances stood out. With not a single line to say newcomer Dan Canham's drunken groom-to-be Dave was totally convincing throughout. And in a particularly poignant scene Morgan Harris gave a spellbinding performance as bride-to-be Linda revealed her unhappiness and fears to Peter, leading to the final denouement when, as her friends pair up with the boys, Linda abandons her drunken fiancée Dave, leaving him unconscious on the toilet floor to run off to an uncertain future with Peter. The capacity audience loved it and at every level 'Stags and Hens' was another triumph for Phoenix Youth Theatre, who tackled the issues raised by Willy Russell's adult comedy in a mature and confident production.
It was lovely being back at the Phoenix Theatre for the Youth Theatre Group's production of "Stags and Hens". Initially, having read the play synopsis, I was a little sceptical that a youth group could pull off this Willy Russell production. I am pleased to say that the cast handled the subject with a maturity beyond their years, especially the young ladies. I liked that the setting was a tacky nightclub in Cinderford and the local accent was used by some of the young men in the cast; giving authenticity. Owen could do with slowing his dialogue down a little as I lost some of his throwaway lines which were very funny but he had a good stage presence. Billy, playing the two pivotal roles of Billy and Peter, depicted his versatility extremely well. Samuel also took on two characters, Robbie and the Roadie. Sam has a very relaxed style which again proved to be an advantage to the rapid and unusual character changes he had to make, which he handled with aplomb. Dan playing the bridegroom to be, played a very good drunk. Adam played Eddy, the angry young man, who was fiercely loyal to his best friend even though he didn't like the idea of losing him to Linda, the bride. I would have liked to have seen Adam direct his dialogue more to the audience as we lost some of his facial and emotional interpretation; but this is a positive observation as I wanted just a bit more. The young ladies were very funny throughout and had the "talking into a mirror scenario" off pat, especially Zoe playing Bernadette, who I genuinely think could see only herself and not the audience sat in front of her. Her facial expressions were hilarious and she commanded the stage with her confidence and timing. Daisy, as Carol, was the catty friend who put the weakest member of the group down at every opportunity and did so very well. Hannah was hilarious as Maureen, the dorky friend, who was highly excitable and laughed and cried in equal measure. Hannah was very good and absolutely believable. Morgan played Linda, the bride to be, and gave a strong portrayal of a complex character who had fallen into an engagement and possible matrimony by default rather than love. Morgan showed the turmoil Linda felt and was completely believable and her final scene was particularly strong. Yasmin looked the youngest member of the cast but acted with great maturity and came across very well. Overall the cast delivered a very good performance with good stage craft. My only negative observation is that the ladies diction was much better than the young men's who at times could have been clearer. I had a lovely warm welcome from the Front of House and bar staff, thank you all.
I went to see a Phoenix Youth Theatre performance of "Private Peaceful" at the Phoenix Theatre on Tuesday and I was very impressed. Author Simon Reade has adapted his play from the novel by Michael Morpurgo. It is a deeply moving portrayal of camaraderie and courage, innocence and brutality. Director, Sarah O'Neill, says this is her most challenging production and she has succeeded in developing and training this fine ensemble of players.
The story begins in rural Devon and moves to the trenches at the front line in France during WW1. The play contains some adult themes, such as the tale of two brothers in love with the same girl in the first half, as well as the horrors of the trenches in the First World War following on in this fascinating story. These young actors dealt admirably with these challenges. All the cast deserve congratulations for their performances in this tale and managing the many scene changes which were seamless and covered with some hauntingly beautiful music. With regret, I cannot mention every person's performance because of lack of space.
Ben Butler (left), as Tommo Peaceful, was very mature in his reflective role and the pacing of his part –a superb performance. Ed Poynton showed an authority in his part as the Colonel and Sgt Hanley. The "other" Tommo Peaceful, performed by Joe Lowen-Grey (below right), was a fine study in the vulnerability of his character. Well done! Zoe Doughty, playing Molly, displays a well developed sense of love and affection towards the brothers – I loved her facial expressions! Yasmin Poole playing the innkeeper was a real fire cracker – well done with the French accent . Ollie O'Neill's guitar playing helped create the atmosphere among the waiting troupes. Adam Warner played the part of the rather slow brother Big Joe with sensitivity and control. Sam Callen (below) as Charlie Peaceful dealt brilliantly with the demanding adaptations of his part and he broke all of our hearts with his final speeches.
The first half contained some charming scenes, notably a delightful bathing scene with Charlie, Tommo and Molly (above left). There were many fine pieces of theatre in Act 2 with the trench scenes conveying the horrors of war. Costumes, lighting, sound and scene changes are so important in this play which is very demanding to stage. All of these were done with a professional touch. This was a quality production which will have a lasting effect on all who watched it. Well done Sarah, well done team. Thank you.

The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe
The Phoenix Youth Theatre first came to our attention a few years ago with Willy Russell's 'Our Day Out', a play about a school trip to the seaside.
Their ambition has grown in recent seasons, culminating in last year's 'Raid', a moving dramatisation of the Coventry air-raid and it's aftermath, researched and written by the boys and girls of the company themselves; and with prizes won at this years Hereford Drama Festival.
And so we come to this season's offering, C. S. Lewis's 'The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe'.
It must be said at the outset that the Phoenix Theatre, though wonderfully equipped with professional lighting and sound systems has a small stage with wing space virtually non-existent. But great ingenuity has been shown in productions of recent years to reveal the latent potential of the Phoenix and overcome what would be seen as limiting factors. This week Phoenix Youth Theatre blew all these prejudices away with a production which borders on epic.
Director Sarah O'Neill has put 36 young actors on stage in a tale about four children who pass through a wardrobe to enter Narnia, a magical land torn by rivalry between the wicked White Witch (Yasmin Poole exercising her powers with awesome majesty) and Aslan, the good lion superbly costumed and portrayed by an impressive Declan Needham-Church. In fact the costumes were excellent and this disciplined company of young actors whose ages range from 11 to 17, maintained their characters throughout giving us leopards, wolves, beavers, centaurs and a whole range of fabled creatures. It would be invidious to pick out individuals without doing a disservice to the company as a whole; mention one and you mention them all. But tribute must be paid to the seniors in the company; Sam Callen as 'Peter', Morgan Poole playing 'Edmund'; Anna Ricks barely recognisable as 'Tumnus', Clemmie Pursey's 'Mrs. Macready'; the delightful ballet of Amy Irvine; 'Susan' and 'Lucy', the Daughters-of-Eve superbly played by Lorna Griffiths and Rosie Williams whose expressive face carries such a range of emotions. With apologies to all the others who space does not allow me to mention except to say that the experienced members kept the pace, drama and tension intact amongst their less experienced colleagues.
A word about the backstage team. A dramatic lighting plot from Trevor Jones (150 lighting cues!) coupled with Chantal Poole's superb soundscape enriched the action whilst the many set changes were smoothly managed by Stage Managers Julie Church and Sam Solandt. Full marks too for set design and a backcloth painted by members of the Phoenix team and the talented Mr. Callen. But the evening belonged to Sarah and her company of boys and girls with a production that transcends the physical limits of the Phoenix Theatre. The show's final performance is on Wednesday but don't rush out to buy a last minute ticket; every seat has already been sold for this wonderful show.

At the time of your appointment, I will call you via Skype.
After quickly explaining what will happen in the time we have together, I will connect up with your spirit guides. The first twenty minutes of every live reading will allow your guides to pass on any information you need to know. After this we will focus in on one or two of the issues they have raised, to get as much information and guidance as possible. This will almost always coincide with the areas of your life you want guidance on. Although rarely necessary, there will always be time to ask any questions.
How should I prepare for my reading?
1. Add me on Skype! As soon as you have booked your reading please find me on Skype, my username is katetomas, and add me as a contact. This will make sure that we do not waste any of your time.
2. Please be punctual. Please turn up on time; it is a good idea to sign into Skype at least 5 mins before your appointment. I will call you at the time of your session. I will be present and ready at the appointment time; any lateness on your part eats into your reading time. If you are more than 15 minutes late your appointment will be cancelled without refund.
3. Respect. Please arrive with an open heart and mind. A closed attitude, general skepticism or any sort of disrespect of me or my work will impede the flow of information and make me not want to work with you.
4. Mobile or Cell phones. Please refrain from scrolling through your phone, working on your computer, or watching TV during our meeting. Not only is it disrespectful of me and your spirit guides, without your full attention, getting a good reading will be very difficult.
5. No details please. Before your reading do not send me any personal information as I prefer not to have my psychic abilities clouded in advance of your reading.
6. Sobriety. Please be sober for your visit. Prescription medications are fine.
7. Confidentiality. Your readings are completely confidential. I have no interest in sharing your personal information and am happy to sign non-disclosure agreements.
8. Independence. It is not advisable to see a psychic more than a few times per year. I encourage you embrace the information received in each consult and live fully between visits.
How Do Single Question Readings Work?
After making a Single Question booking and sending through your question, I will read for you on the question, and record the reading on video. That video will then be uploaded to YouTube and a private link will be sent to you by email within 24hours of your appointment time..
Are in-person readings better than readings over Skype?
Absolutely not. In fact, I prefer reading via Skype to in-person because I am able to get accurate information for you without having to filter it through any other information I my pick up from an in person meeting.
It's very important to actually live your life and take action after a reading. For this reason, in general I advise keeping at least two or three months between readings. If you're moving through a particularly significant time of transition, it can be helpful to have a monthly check-in. I offer subscriptions that make this particularly good value.
Will you tell me things that I don't want to hear?
Some of the most valuable information is often in the things we don't want to hear; if you are avoiding a certain issue and it is causing problems in your life, it will come up, but always with a strategy on how to best deal with it, and advice on how to disarm and change the situation so that it truly empowers you.
What's the difference between a psychic, and a medium?
A psychic is someone who has access to information gained other than through logic and reason. A medium is someone who contacts and dialogues with the spirits of people who have died. I try and avoid talking to the dead as much as possible.
What do you mean when you say you are a witch?
It means that I practice a particular type of meditation and ritual with the intention of changing my and others' material reality. It doesn't mean that I follow any religion; there are almost infinite forms and schools and traditions of witchcraft, only one of which is Wicca. I am not Wiccan.
I use hexes as a form of defense of the vulnerable, as well as a political action. In my opinion, the defense of the vulnerable and the fighting against evil is fundamental to witchcraft. Witches have always been political activists and to call oneself a witch without using one's skill and power to effect political change is unethical.
I don't offer discounts but I offer different products and packages, so that most people can find a way to work with me that they can afford. I also offer a lot of free information and education on my Instagram.
The State of New York regards psychic mediumship as a form of entertainment – While I do not agree with the state of New York's stance - I have to acknowledge it. It is my sincere hope that the information obtained brings you clarity, peace and assurance.
Please be aware that I am picking up information all the time, and so any email correspondence we may have contributes to the impression I have of you before we've started working together. I want your reading to be as accurate and positive as possible. Please re-read your emails before sending to be sure that they properly reflect your tone and intention.

Tag: David Fincher
You Should Be Watching: September 6-12
Posted on September 6, 2018 by Jacob Neff.
Welcome to You Should Be Watching, my weekly opportunity to introduce you to a variety of great films, gems of the past and present, available for you to stream from Netflix, Amazon Prime, FilmStruck, and anywhere else streams are found.
STREAMING PICKS OF THE WEEK
Genre: Mystery, Drama, Thriller
Cast: Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, Deborah Kara Unger, James Rebhorn, Spike Jonze, Anna Katarina, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Carroll Baker, Scott Hunter McGuire, Elizabeth Dennehy, Daniel Schorr, John Aprea, Charles Martinet, Caroline Barclay, Peter Donat, Florentine Mocanu, Kimberly Russell, Gerry Becker
As is common with David Fincher's films, The Game works on multiple levels. At its surface, it's a Kafkaesque thriller about a rich investment banker, Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas), a man who has everything. Van Orton receives a unique, well-meaning gift from his estranged brother Conrad (Sean Penn). The gift is access to a new type of personalized game that would integrate into his everyday life and activities, hopefully adding some excitement to it all. But very quickly, Van Orton finds himself trapped in an inescapable nightmare where fiction increasingly becomes his reality.
At a deeper level, Van Orton is a real character. He's a man who at a young age saw his father commit suicide, which has forever haunted him and overshadowed the choices he would make in life. Now as a middle-aged man, wealthy and estranged from everyone he's ever loved, he must step up to the mirror of his father and evaluate his life. This reality–the pain, the cynicism, the independent nature along with the fear when his life teeters out of control–affects every nuance of Douglas' performance.
David and Lisa
Director: Frank Perry
Cast: Keir Dullea, Janet Margolin, Howard Da Silva, Neva Patterson, Clifton James, Richard McMurray, Nancy Nutter, Mathew Anden, Jaime Sánchez, Coni Hudak, Karen Lynn Gorney, Janet Lee Parker
Famous for playing astronaut Dave Bowman in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, here in only his 2nd film appearance, Keir Dullea as the titular teenager David along with Janet Margolin as Lisa star in this unique, brilliantly acted romantic drama that exemplifies the realities, complications, and horrors of living with mental disorders. Key to making the drama compelling is the detailed character development and compassion shown in Eleanor Perry's script, and director Frank Perry's skill in dialing up the tension by taking us into the experience.
David has a genius-level intellect and a strict concept of how things must be ordered, which has made him arrogant and difficult to control, but the threat of a single touch causes him intense fear as he's convinced it might kill him. He also has terrible recurring nightmares of killing people in surreal ways. Lisa, of much lower IQ, is in a constant battle between herself and an alternate, darker, much more self-assured personality, who can only be kept at bay by rhyming, both by her and by those talking to her. Both find themselves in the care of a mental institution and find themselves drawn to each other, but they have to battle to both understand each other's difficulties as well as learn to cope with their own if they're going to make it work.
— Expires September 14
Director: Raoul Walsh
Genre: Adventure, Fantasy, Family, Romance
Cast: Douglas Fairbanks, Snitz Edwards, Charles Belcher, Julanne Johnston, Sôjin, Anna May Wong, Brandon Hurst, Tote Du Crow, Noble Johnson, Sam Baker, Winter Blossom, Etta Lee, Mathilde Comont, Charles Stevens, Eugene Jackson, Jesse Lasky Jr., David Sharpe, Paul Malvern, Scotty Mattraw, Jess Weldon, K. Nambu
Don't let the nearly two and a half hour run time of this classic silent adventure fantasy scare you off. This surprisingly fast-paced adaptation of several of the ancient Arabian Nights tales, which was remade for the sound era in 1940, was made by the prolific director Raoul Walsh, whose filmmaking career spanned 51 years and is regarded as Douglas Fairbanks' favorite of his performances. It entertains with its variety of locations, exotic set design, colorful characters, delightful special effects, and the creative and intriguing story elements.
Fairbanks plays the lead character Ahmed, a common thief who finds himself on the run from the palace guards after he sees and becomes infatuated with the unnamed princess, played by Julanne Johnston. Stop me if this sounds familiar. Ahmed disguises himself as a prince in an attempt to win her heart and soon finds everything coming up roses, despite the existence of other suitors. That is, until the princess' Mongol slave, played by oriental siren Anna May Wong discovers Ahmed's identity, leading to the princess having to beg for his life. It goes on from there with a competitive quest and a flying carpet, a cloak of invisibility, a giant underwater spider, and so on. Douglas Fairbanks is a fun, charismatic actor to watch, and the special effects are impressive, especially for a film that's nearly 100 years old.

August 2018 – "Choose Your Director Month"
Posted on April 13, 2018 by AaronElWhite.
In January 2017, Feelin' Film had its inaugural Director Month, covering the films of our favorite director – Christopher Nolan. Going through a single director's films over the course of several weeks in a row provided a unique perspective on how his work had evolved, and was one of the most enjoyable things we'd done. So, in January 2018, we chose to make Director Month an annual occurrence and covered the films of Stanley Kubrick. This, too, was a wonderful experience for us and left us anxious to do it again.
Looking forward at the new release schedule, we have identified August 2018 as a great time to slip in another Director Month. But this time, we want YOU, our listeners, to choose whose filmography we dive into. Below you will find a list of directors and the corresponding films we would discuss. This is your chance to tell us what you want to hear us talk about on the podcast, and you can vote by clicking on the link below to join our Facebook Discussion Group and selecting your preferred choices in the poll.

Episode 062: The Social Network
Posted on June 11, 2017 by thisispatch.
The story of Facebook, sort of. To many this Oscar-nominated film from director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is a masterpiece, crafting an interesting narrative in a thrilling and exciting way. To others it may be considered a gross misrepresentation of the truth, thus limiting their enjoyment. We discuss creative liberty in biopics and more as we have a fun conversation about this compelling dramatized historical account of a social media giant.

What We Learned This Week: April 23-29
Posted on April 28, 2017 by everymoviehasalesson.
LESSON #1: YOU NEED TO BE WATCHING THE ORIGINAL FILMS DISTRIBUTED BY NETFLIX— This column has thrown bouquets at Netflix for having the resources and courage to become a real player in the film industry. Indiewire has a nice article trying to look at why Netflix's great film acquisitions are still getting buried. The website followed that with a checklist of seven films worthy your time. Before summer officially splashes down, save some travel and concession bucks and seek a few Netflix films out.
LESSON #2: THAT SAID, STOP GIVING ADAM SANDLER A CAREER, EVEN ON NETFLIX— In some kind of bragging effort of PR, Netflix recently reported that their subscribers have watched 500 million hours of Adam Sandler films. Good lord, that's a lot of trash. I know it's subjective, but Adam Sandler is dead to me and I refuse to watch his repetitive and idiotic films. With "Sandy Wexler," he's one film into a five-film deal on Netflix. I have no idea how this man is still topical or relevant bringing out the same man-child comedy for twenty years now. He needs to go away. Stop giving him your money and your hours.
LESSON #3: THE "WORLD WAR Z" SEQUEL IS BENEATH DAVID FINCHER— The director of "Se7en," "The Game," "Fight Club," "Panic Room," "Zodiac," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," and "Gone Girl" is better than a clunky and questionable blockbuster sequel. Kudos to Paramount Pictures for signing him (once the ink dries). That's a hell of a get and upgrade, but somebody send Fincher (or his agent) better scripts and opportunities than bad zombies.
LESSON #4: HERE COMES THE REAL BEST CHANCE OF REDEMPTION FOR M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN— Personally, like Sandler, I've been on a boycott of Shyamalan's films since "The Last Airbender." I threw my hands up and was done. In my opinion, he's like a mediocre basketball player. He's got one great move to the basket: the twist ending. He's amazing at that, but it's all he has. The rest of his craft is repetitive and hack, if you ask me, even if people are calling the modest gains of "The Visit" and "Split" a comeback for the filmmaker. The true test will be "Glass," the newly announced sequel merging "Split" with "Unbreakable." If he can pull that off, then, and only then, can you call him redeemed and truly "back."

What We Learned This Week: July 7-13
MOVIE REVIEW: The Lion King (2019)


One of the goals of the company team is to put effort into relationships, as compared to viewing business as a series of transactions.
The company, about 30 years old, produces implant components, surgical instruments, and other medical devices. From among these devices, those that aren't used, are donated to vocational schools in the area, to be used for training.
Management at the medical device company decided that doing data analytics on a select group of production aspects would be an effective method for improving the quality of the final product.
To achieve this, the management team set up WinSPC statistical process control to capture and process measurements of implant components, surgical instruments, and other medical devices.
First, the team established a digital connection between the company's Tru-capture measurement stations and WinSPC. Next, with a digital connection in place, the team set WinSPC to capture measurements.
Finally, with the data collection mechanism set up, the management team monitored the data as it came in, did post-production analysis, and set WinSPC to display alerts when potentially problematic strings of measurements come in.
A WinSPC post-analysis view showing data segmented by work order.
Additionally, the company intends to use WinSPC's email trigger feature to send email notifications to different staff when process problems or other events occur.
WinSPC can be set to notify supervisors and others about process problems or other events.
To summarize, the management team decided doing data analytics on a select group of production aspects would be an effective method for improving the quality of the final product. So, they installed WinSPC, and integrated it with their measurement stations, to capture and process measurements.
Next, the management team monitored the data as it came in, did post-production analysis, and set WinSPC to display alerts when potentially problematic strings of measurements come in. Finally, custom reporting was enabled, and email notifications were set up.

California cop accused of assault with a deadly weapon
On behalf of Houlé Law APC posted in criminal defense on Monday, October 9, 2017.
It takes about a full work day to make the drive north from Manhattan Beach to the modest Northern California city of Rocklin. The Placer County site is where a police officer was arrested on accusations that he beat a drunk driving suspect with a baton.
The officer was taken to the county jail on charges that include assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily harm, assault under the color of authority and filing a false police report, the Los Angeles Times reported.
According to the Times' article, the 41-year-old officer and other officers arrested a man on a charge of driving under the influence. The city's police chief said the officer "used a baton in a manner that appeared to be excessive."
Apparently other officers who were there when the arrest was made expressed concern to superiors about the alleged incident. The police chief said that after he reviewed video taken with patrol and body cams that he asked the Placer County district attorney to investigate the officer's conduct during the incident.
After a review of the evidence, the district attorney's office said that the cop's actions "rose to a criminal level" and the charges were filed.
The man who was arrested for DUI was taken to a hospital for treatment of unspecified, non-life-threatening injuries. The Times states that after he was cleared at the hospital, he was booked in jail on a DUI charge, as well as resisting arrest.
A police department spokesperson said he was not sure if the officer has an attorney.
In matters such as this one, it's imperative for a police officer charged with wrongdoing to speak as soon as possible with a criminal defense attorney experienced in law enforcement defense.

In late March 2016 Australian media had two prominent stories about corruption in adjacent South East Asian nations. One, concerning the Malaysian prime minister, was horrifying. It involved vast amounts of money (closer to A$1 billion than A$100 million), ghastly murders, Saudi sources and generalised fear among civil society.
Four Corners concludes: "In any other country, a prime minister linked to so many allegations of corruption would have been impeached by now. What is it going to take in Malaysia?" CLARE REWCASTLE BROWN: I think that Malaysia is waiting for foreign action. I think they feel, um, disempowered; um, helpless.
Less well publicised, but more encouragingly, there were radio and TV reports concerning the unseemly acquisitiveness of some Thai Buddhist monks, and a sect called Dhammakaya. The scandal includes the acting supreme patriarch - Somdet Phra Maha Ratchamangalacharn (Somdet Chuang) who has acquired, among other things, a very fancy vintage car. Dhammakaya celebrates material wealth. Let me confess that I like wealth and security, but the poverty and suffering of others greatly disturbs me.. The Buddha encouraged a middle way. Some wealth might be ok, from a Buddhist perspective, but too much personal wealth cannot be good for others, particularly for ordained people, who are setting an example. I also find the extreme wealth of the Thai royal family problematic, especially given that there are well-documented cases of slavery still present in Thailand today, for example in its fishing industry.
However, compared to Malaysia, I found it very encouraging in that there is a government-led attempt to investigate corruption.
LIAM COCHRANE: Some say the scandal is linked to Somdet Chuang's association to a wildly popular but controversial branch of Thai Buddhism known as Dhammakaya.
SULAK SIVARAKSA: Dhammakaya teaching people that to be powerful is good, to have money is good, the more you spend money on the Dhammakaya you can even see the Buddha - and you can even live forever.
SULAK SIVARAKSA: Well Thaksin supports the new demonic religion - he'll do anything to make money and Dhammakaya do anything to make money, so they're all together.
LIAM COCHRANE: The military government has made fighting corruption one of its main goals.
But despite the luxury cars and scandals, social commentator Sulak Sivaraksa says there's still little oversight for the finances of Thailand's religious institutions.
SULAK SIVARAKSA: If you wear yellow robes, it covers everything.
A very dodgy business; dhammakaya also is supportive of the thugish pseudo monks in Burma who are active right wing ultra-nationalists preaching race hatred. The picture the ABC is using has to be over 20 years old. Chung is 90 and doesn't look like that anymore. The former administrative 'head of the sangha' was a teacher of mine in the 1970's. I was sceptical that he didn't step down in advanced old age; he died at 100.
BUT when one sees who is lining up for the top job ...I am more sympathetic to his decision to die in office.. Very poor candidates indeed and unfortunately the old guard is just that...very old and not really up to the complexities of rapid social change. The arch conservativism so many represent mean that over the course of recent history, so called 'radical monks', essentially progressives standing up for social justice and environmental protection have been the ones disrobed as 'political' whilst corrupt money hungry clowns with a taste for right wing agendas have been protected and supported...And these are the ones who are helping to destroy the true dhamma . of course these 'worthies' are no fans of full ordination of women. Though local people support these women mainly because they are good practitioners' and not hungry for money and royal titles.
More on Sulak here, the blog of Rev Danny Fisher.
There is much on the web about the discrimination against Thai women practitioners, including the excommunication of Ven Ajahn Brahm for his activism in this area.
When Buddhism becomes just another set of mental conditionings to wear like a suit of clothes, relying on attachment to past history, it no longer follows the real meaning of Buddha's original words.

Financial backers changed several times until Reliance Realty Partners resolved the bankruptcy in May 2007. Work began on rebuilding the seawalls and docks.
Meanwhile, one street away, the Holmes Beach Marina (Moreland Marine) site was razed and rebuilt into completed condos, the real estate market topped out, and condo sales languished.
Some 7 years later, the Tidemark project appeared to be revived with a possible permit application for Building A and B, on the north end, with 7 units in each. Hotel condo units were marketed as fractional ownership in which a buyer purchases an eighth of the unit, with prices starting at $155,000. Owners have use at any time of the year but subject to availability.
Other building blocks are designed to have 5 to 7 units and the lodge part of the project will have 10 accommodation units.
Tidemark Beach Residences, on 66th Street gulf-front, (formerly the Beach Inn), is now under construction was rebuilt adding 30 more units to the combination of a beachfront and (proposed) boating marina package and renamed Mainsail Beach Inn and Mainsail Marina.
Update 2013: Holmes Beach commissioners voted to revoke the existing site plan permit and requested the current property owners to present new plans for re-approval. The project comprises 37 two story hotel units, lodge with 80-seat restaurant and 50 boat slips. Changes to the approved 2001 plan include increased setbacks, revised parking, buffering neighbors, 3 to 2 level lodge with 3 fewer units, 40 fewer restaurant seats, and 25 fewer boat slips. Mainsail president has requested the commissioners to reconsider their decision in order to avoid "legal machinery" going into action.
Update 2016: On March 1st, City of Holmes Beach issued building permits for "Waterline", two buildings in 3 stories, containing 37 units. The accommodation units will be on the upper 2 floors along with an 80-seat restaurant, offices, meeting rooms, shops, and exercise spaces at ground level. Foundation work is expected to start immediately and buildings within the next year. The adjacent shopping strip mall is also planned for a facelift.
Update August 2017: Waterline Marina Resort and Beach Club owner Mainsail Property Management are in the final stages of receiving occupancy permits from the City of Holmes Beach. Opening date has been delayed but currently expected to be October 1, Oct 15, November 15, December 1, 2017.
Waterline Hotel plans to open for guests December 1, 2017.

An online diary study was performed to investigate deception across different media. One hundred and four individuals participated in the study, with 76 completing the diaries. Individuals were most likely to lie on the telephone. Planned lies, which participants also rated the most serious, were more likely told via SMS (short message service) text messaging. Most lies were told to people participants felt closest to. The feature-based model provides a better account of the deceptions reported by participants than do media richness theory or social distance theory. However, the authors propose a reworked feature-based model to explain deception across different media. They suggest that instant messaging should be treated as a near synchronous mode of communication. We suggest that the model needs to distinguish between spontaneous and planned lies.

Complex Involvement of Interleukin-26 in Bacterial Lung Infection

Pneumonia is a global cause of mortality, and this provides a strong incentive to improve the mechanistic understanding of innate immune responses in the lungs. Here, we characterized the involvement of the cytokine interleukin (IL)-26 in bacterial lung infection. We observed markedly increased concentrations of IL-26 in lower airway samples from patients with bacterial pneumonia and these correlated with blood neutrophil concentrations. Moreover, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) from both Gram-negative and -positive bacteria increased extracellular IL-26 concentrations in conditioned media from human models of alveolar epithelial cells, macrophages, and neutrophils in vitro. Stimulation with IL-26 inhibited the inherent release of neutrophil elastase and myeloperoxidase in unexposed neutrophils. This stimulation also inhibited the expression of activity makers in neutrophils exposed to Klebsiella pneumoniae. In addition, priming of human lung tissue ex vivo with exogenous IL-26 potentiated the endotoxin-induced increase in mRNA for other cytokines involved in the innate immune response, including the master Th17-regulator IL-23 and the archetype inhibitory cytokine IL-10. Finally, neutralization of endogenous IL-26 clearly increased the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the macrophage culture. These findings suggest that IL-26 is involved in bacterial lung infection in a complex manner, by modulating critical aspects of innate immune responses locally and systemically in a seemingly purposeful manner and by contributing to the killing of bacteria in a way that resembles an antimicrobial peptide. Thus, IL-26 displays both diagnostic and therapeutic potential in pneumonia and deserves to be further evaluated in these respects.

abstract = "Pneumonia is a global cause of mortality, and this provides a strong incentive to improve the mechanistic understanding of innate immune responses in the lungs. Here, we characterized the involvement of the cytokine interleukin (IL)-26 in bacterial lung infection. We observed markedly increased concentrations of IL-26 in lower airway samples from patients with bacterial pneumonia and these correlated with blood neutrophil concentrations. Moreover, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) from both Gram-negative and -positive bacteria increased extracellular IL-26 concentrations in conditioned media from human models of alveolar epithelial cells, macrophages, and neutrophils in vitro. Stimulation with IL-26 inhibited the inherent release of neutrophil elastase and myeloperoxidase in unexposed neutrophils. This stimulation also inhibited the expression of activity makers in neutrophils exposed to Klebsiella pneumoniae. In addition, priming of human lung tissue ex vivo with exogenous IL-26 potentiated the endotoxin-induced increase in mRNA for other cytokines involved in the innate immune response, including the master Th17-regulator IL-23 and the archetype inhibitory cytokine IL-10. Finally, neutralization of endogenous IL-26 clearly increased the growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the macrophage culture. These findings suggest that IL-26 is involved in bacterial lung infection in a complex manner, by modulating critical aspects of innate immune responses locally and systemically in a seemingly purposeful manner and by contributing to the killing of bacteria in a way that resembles an antimicrobial peptide. Thus, IL-26 displays both diagnostic and therapeutic potential in pneumonia and deserves to be further evaluated in these respects.",
