Mariners' Wedge takes on stat geeks; apologizes
By Adam Lewis May 29, 2013 Updated: May 30, 2013 5 Comments3 Mins Read
Shortly after the Mariners optioned Dustin Ackley to Triple-A Tacoma Monday, manager Eric Wedge made a joke while trying to explain away the second baseman's big slump. The suddenly embattled manager instead turned himself into a media feeding frenzy — one engineered by a group of analysts who value advanced statistics more than the "human element" touted by baseball traditionalists.
So how can Ackley barely surpass the Mendoza line in 2013? The former No. 2 overall pick was hitting .205 with a .516 OPS in 45 games. Allow Wedge to explain.
"It's the new generation," Wedge told reporters. "It's all this sabermetrics stuff, for lack of a better term, you know what I mean? People who haven't played since they were nine years old think they have it all figured out. It gets in these kids' heads."
The comment started trending on Twitter and spiraled from there. USSMariner.com founder Dave Cameron captured the prevailing reaction from a disenfranchised fan base with this blog post that called for the skipper's head.
Wedge's remark was meant to convey his belief that Ackley became too preoccupied with drawing walks and increasing his on-base percentage, leading to a passive hitting approach. Ackley took too many pitches in the strike zone and, on the occasions he swung, mostly grounded out. Not a recipe for success.
But pinning his struggles on a "paralysis-by-analysis" theory only served to raise the decibel level of those who feel Wedge is in part responsible for the organization's inability to take their Triple-A talent and help them thrive at the big league level. Cameron wasn't the only writer to take a Mike Tyson-like right hook at Wedge. So damning was the response that Wedge chose to explain himself before Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the San Diego Padres.
"When I bust somebody's chops or make a joke at it, you can take it in a light-hearted way or you can take it personally," he told Greg Johns of MLB.com. "Quite frankly, I don't care either way. But the fact of the matter is, sabermetrics is a part of the game of baseball. It has been for a while. It's my job to see it from all ways."
As it was his duty to protect a player whose confidence level flat-lined.
"What people have to see is these are human beings," he said. "They are not widgets. It's not XYZ corporation — something out of a book. These are human beings. And that's the thing you have to factor in the most. They have emotions. They have families. You have ups and downs and everything that goes along with it. Things you can't read on a piece of paper.
"But (statistical analysis) is most definitely part of it. I use it each and every day. It's not the end-all. It's not just black and white. It's got to be a nice blend between the human factor and the numbers. You have to be able to go out there and motivate these guys and treat them as human beings as well. So for those who I offended, I'm sorry about that. One thing you have to have in this game is broad shoulders and a thick skin."
An adequate back-of-the-rotation and a healthy lineup wouldn't hurt either.
Another first — of the bad kind — for Mariners

I agree with Wedge in part. I do think at times some players focus on OBP so much that they get away from their natural game. Picture Junior trying to work a walk rather than doing what comes naturally. Especially back during his first run with the M's. It would take away from his game. As much as at times the young players tend to go for the fences too much they also probably try to do the opposite as well. That balance will come with experience. They need to let the coaches worry about statistical analysis and just play their game.

Well the silly thing is, Wedge basically was setting up a strawman and arguing against it. Over the last year I've seen a couple different "nerd" takes on Dustin Ackley – both of which thought he was too passive when it came to pitches in the strike zone. So the stat heads and old-school Wedge saw the same issues with the guy – but Wedge mischaracterized (or, more likely, just doesn't understand) what those people who like to look at saber-stats are thinking.
One of the things that's been especially maddening about Ackley is his apparent refusal to adapt to what's referred to as the "lefty strike zone" – several inches of space that is technically outside the strike zone, but where pitches get called as strikes with regularity against left-handed batters. All the umps do it; Ackley needs to adapt.
I think sabermetics is a bit overrated. It's good for some teams like the A's who can't afford the big bats but isn't needed for teams like the Yankees or Giants. Hate to say that the pitching coach needs to be looked at but that might be the case with the M's.
Adam Lewis on May 30, 2013 11:29 am
Great point Westside Guy. Ackley's inability to adapt to what you referred to as the "lefty strike zone" is a product of a fundamental flaw in his swing — something overlooked at times by baseball traditionalists and sabermetric analysts.
Ackley's front side flares out too often. It prevents him from taking a fastball on the outside corner and lining it into left center field and it causes him to roll over on grooved pitches, resulting in a weak groundout to the second baseman.
The good news: It's a fixable problem that a good hitting coach can help him overcome.

I have been bugged by outrageous wads of chew bulging out of players faces either in the dugout or the playing field. Yesterday, I thought Franklin might choke on his huge hairball as he rounded the bases. Baseball banned smoking in the dugout and of course on the field. Kids make heroes out of baseball players more than any other sport, and one of the first ways they emulate their hero is to have than circle in their back pocket. Baseball needs to grow up and face that chewing anything but gum on the field needs to be prohibited … For the Kids if not the player's health.

Get to see Phare the Cambodian Circus overseas
by Craig | Aug 16, 2014 | News from abroad
By: Arthur Nguyen dao
Of course you can all get to see the great shows of Phare to enjoy a great entertainment in Siem Reap in Cambodia. Everyone will tell you: Want the best non-temple activity? Start your nightlife with a circus show! But if you are lucky enough, you might also get to see them in your own country! Phare artists regularly perform overseas.
It would be all thanks to Phare Productions International, the production company of Phare the Cambodian Circus which also operates as an agent for world class productions and artists.
Indeed, you may not know it, but it has been 10 years since Phare performers do international tours. Not only circus artists, but also musicians, actors and visual art artists get to travel. On the one hand, Phare Productions International aims at spreading Cambodian performing arts and developing cultural awareness. On the other hand, it focuses on strengthening the performers' artistic, intellectual and financial independence, as well as developing their professional renown.
One could say that Phare Productions International has been quite successful so Phare. Thanks to our oldest partner Collectif Clowns d'Ailleurs et d'Ici which ensures that our shows go on tour, it is now a requirement for our students to go on international tour in order to graduate.
Phare circus performers in France
The production company managed to establish many successful and fruitful partnerships with great artists and other production companies. One of the latest is Galaxy Khmer for which Phare collaborated with choreographer and producer Michael Laub, rock band The Cambodian Space Project and the Hebbel am Ufer Theatre in Berlin.
Phare clowns have also participated in the Tokyo International Fool Festival produced by the After Cloudy Company doing more than 200 shows in Japan.
Many art residencies are also frequently organized in Australia, the Netherlands, or in France. Some artists from Phare also get to participate in student exchange programs. This year, 3 visual art artists are in France, working on their skills, learning new ones, sharpening their talent and exhibiting their art work.
Performers have also gone to Singapore for the New World festival produced by TheatreWorks.
Moreover, there were a lot of short-term collaborations or events in Brunei, Spain, France, Algeria, and most recently in Bangladesh.
In the past 4 years only, Phare performers have shown 15 different theatre and circus shows in Germany, Singapore, France, Korea, Thailand, the Philippines, Switzerland, Brunei, Bangladesh, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Japan and Norway.
The artists had a very long partnership with the Philippine Educational Theatre Association (PETA) including co- productions and Asian tours.
Our actors have established a great partnership from 2009 to 2013 with Ariane Mnouchkine and her Théâtre du Soleil. They translated and re-created L'histoire terrible mais inachevée de Norodom Sihanouk, roi du Cambodge (the Terrible but Unfinished Story of Norodom Sihanouk, King of Cambodia) from Hélène Cixous.
This piece was for the artists a re-discovery and investigation of Cambodian recent history and memory. "For Art and Humanity, (…) an act for the reconstruction of the country, hoping Cambodia would retrieve its ancestral wonderful smile", writes Georges Bigot co-Director.
Next year, Chills and Eclipse go back to France for a 3 months tour with the Collectif Clowns d'Ailleurs et d'Ici, and Galaxy Khmer is going to France and Italy, so if you are in Europe, you might see them!
For those who are in Australia or the US, a tour is currently being negotiated, so maybe…
You want to know more about the dates? You want Phare artists in your festival? Contact us. Wondering about the shows? Get more information.

Some of the following is paraphrased.
Me (going through mail, hands letter addressed to husband): Here, something from the physical therapy people for you.
H (after reading letter): They don't have my secondary insurance listed and are informing me they will bill me directly for the balance of my treatment. Guess I'll have to call them. That means I'll be on the phone for the next hour. Idiots.
H (fishes group insurance card from his pocket, disappears into den, returns only 10 minutes later but clearly annoyed as if it had been an hour): They had it. I knew it. Idiots.
H (pauses, holds out secondary insurance card): Why isn't my name on this card instead of yours?
Me: Because the insurance is provided through my employer. If you were the employee, your name would be on the card.
H (still annoyed, looks at card, then at me): Then how does anyone I give this card to know it's me?
Me: Because when they look it up, the policy lists you as Spouse.
H: That's not right. It should have my name on it.
Me: (Half smiles): Yeah, I guess.

VERIZON LAUNCHES TV EVERYWHERE SERVICE, WITH A PLUS
November 11, 2010 by admin · 1 Comment
Verizon, which is both a phone company and the operator of the FiOS broadband and fiber-optic TV service, has announced its own "TV anywhere" version. Called Flex View, the Verizon service will allow its subscribers to view video-on-demand programming on mobile phones, tablet devices, and laptops. The company said that the feature is already available to most FiOS subscribers and will available to all of them by the end of the month. Differentiating itself from its competitors, Verizon said that Flex View will allow users to download content not merely stream it, thereby enabling them to watch even when there is no wi-fi connection available. In a statement, Shawn Strickland, vice president of consumer strategy and planning for Verizon, said, "This is a valuable extension of our FiOS TV VOD service, enabling customers to rent or purchase video programming and enjoy it anytime, anywhere — even outside of Verizon service areas. On planes, trains and automobiles; in hotel rooms and waiting rooms; at work or at play — you name it — Verizon's new Flex View capability puts video content at customers' fingertips." Although Verizon is reportedly in talks with Apple, the service is currently not available to users of the iPhone, iPod Touch, or the iPad.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Montana authorities say a Billings man shot and killed a friend and wounded himself with a military-style AR-15 carbine while they were tripping on mushrooms last fall.
The Billings Gazette reports that 30-year-old William Eugene Kenney pleaded not guilty on Friday to negligent homicide with a weapons enhancement. He's accused of killing 25-year-old John Smathers.
The charging documents say Kenney told a detective that he and his friend "got kinda crazy" and thought they were dying after getting high on psilocybin (sil-oh-SY'-bin) mushrooms on Nov. 21.
The documents say Kenney shot Smathers with an AR-15, then shot himself and passed out.
An autopsy showed Smathers died of a single gunshot wound to the back of the head. Kenney had a gunshot wound to his chin.
He is in jail on a $50,000 bond.

There isn't much left that hasn't been said about the Ashton VSG. It is an extremely popular line of cigars made for Ashton by the Fuentes. If you are new to the VSG, then surf on over to my review of the VSG Sorcerer and read the background info on this smoke there.
The Wizard is the largest of the VSG family at least as far as the ring gauge goes. It is also one of the very few vitolas that does not sport a box press. It uses the same dark and leathery Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper as the rest of the line. Long time readers of my blog already know that I am not a fan of this large of a ring gauge on a cigar. I feel that the Wizard is a prime example of why that is. All the wonderful flavors that you'd expect from a VSG are muted and muddled in this format. There are still notes of earth and leather and sweet spice but they are not as sharp or intense. The cigar overall is milder and weaker than the other vitolas in the line. It is a good cigar in a line of great cigars which makes it a bit of a disappointment for me. Of course, YMMV.

You know what eggnog is – the traditional Christmas/New Year's drink consisting of milk or cream, sugar, and eggs beaten together and often mixed with rum or brandy. But why is it called "eggnog"? Egg, yes. But nog?
According to my dictionary, a nog is a small wooden block or peg. Doesn't make sense to me, so I did a little research and found many theories. One suggests that it comes from the Middle English word "noggin," which was a wooden mug for serving alcohol. Another claims that it's derived from an Old English word for strong ale. A third attributes it to Colonial America, where it was referred to as egg-and-grog. (Rum was called grog.) And there are lots more.
So the only thing we really know about "nog" is that it maybe/probably has something to do with alcohol…

Man accused of killing 2 teen girls asks for public defender
November 9, 2022 GMT
This image provided by Indiana State Police shows Richard Matthew Allen. Indiana authorities have arrested the man in the unsolved slayings of two teenage girls who were killed while hiking five years ago near their small community in northern Indiana hometown, police said Monday, Oct. 31, 2022. State Police Superintendent Doug Carter announced that Allen, 50, was arrested Friday on two murder counts in the killings of Liberty German, 14, and Abigail Williams, 13, in a case that has haunted the Indiana city of about 3,000 people. (Indiana State Police via AP)
DELPHI, Ind. (AP) — The man accused of killing two teenage girls has requested a public defender in a letter to the court filed Wednesday because both he and his wife can no longer work.
"I, Richard M. Allen, hereby throw myself at the mercy of the court. I am begging to be provided with legal assistance in a public defender or whatever help is available," he wrote in the letter to Carroll Circuit Court.
Allen, 50, of Delphi, is charged with two counts of murder in the slayings of Libby German, 14, and Abby Williams, 13, on Feb. 13, 2017, outside the north central Indiana city.
Indiana State Police arrested Allen on Oct. 26. They announced his arrest Oct. 31.
Allen wrote his wife has stopped working for "her personal safety."
"At my initial hearing on Oct. 28, 2022, I asked to find representation for myself," Allen wrote in the letter that was postmarked Nov. 7. "However, at the time I had no clue how expensive it would be just to talk to someone.
"I also did not realize what my wife and I's immediate financial situation was going to be," he wrote. "We have both been forced to immediately abandon employment, myself due to incarceration and my wife for her personal safety."
Allen did not elaborate on the threats to her safety.

How to measure an oil spill
February 2, 2011 by Rachel Shafer
EMERGENCY RESPONSE: Mechanical engineering professor Ömer Savaş helped federal agencies estimate the official flow rate during last year's Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. (Photo by Peg Skorpinski.)
When oil was flowing from BP's broken well at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico last spring, the company estimated the flow rate at about 1,000 barrels a day. But news outlets wanted an independent estimate.
Could Ömer Savaş, an expert in fluid mechanics and turbulent flows, help? At first, the Berkeley mechanical engineering professor declined, later explaining, "I didn't want to contribute to the sensationalism."
But soon afterward Savaş received an e-mail addressed to the membership of the American Physical Society (APS)'s Division of Fluid Dynamics, to which he belongs, asking for estimates.
He could no longer ignore the request. He watched videos of the leaking well and sent off an initial estimation, one that was much higher than 1,000 barrels a day. Thus, Sava? became involved in a national effort to establish the "official" flow rate, a number that would dictate not only the level of resources assigned to the cleanup but also its legal ramifications once the emergency had passed.
Soon afterward, he received a request from Bill Lehr, senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Response and Restoration. Lehr, who had seen Savaş's APS estimate, was assembling a team of academic researchers and federal scientists charged with estimating the flow rate.
Savaş joined Lehr's Plume Team and spent hours reviewing BP's high-definition videos of the leaking well. He was soon exchanging hundreds of e-mails with other team members from around the country, debating how best to approach the problem.
The team settled on a method called particle image velocimetry (PIV), in which a fluid is seeded with tracer particles whose velocities are extracted from successive images using elaborate image-processing techniques.
Since PIV couldn't be performed in a controlled manner at the bottom of the gulf, instead scientists had to be content to base their calculations on video streams coming from the gulf. Their initial estimates put the flow rate at 12,000 to 18,000 barrels a day, which they later revised to 24,000 to 30,000 barrels.
After running his own calculations using PIV, Savaş concluded that the technique posed serious difficulties in this case.
"We're looking at oil, this dark fluid, and we can only look at the face of it, what is called turbulent flow interface," he explains. "There was a fine scale of turbulence that was changing too rapidly to be captured by the video streams, and that's why I chose not to employ PIV for flow rate estimation."
AGAINST THE FLOW: Using a probability density function graph, the National Institute of Standards and Technology summarized some of the expert estimates of the rate of oil flowing from the damaged well. Savaş's estimate came closest to the mean and median values and very close to the direct flow estimate before the well was capped. (Photo by Ömer Savaş)
Instead of focusing on minute structures, Savaş selected larger features—the big billows coming out of the leak—and ran calculations based on the celerity of those "coherent structures," as they're known in fluid dynamics.
In e-mails, teleconferences and meetings, his colleagues questioned his approach, which consistently produced higher numbers, but Savaş didn't back down.
After spending many weeks on his analysis, he finally concluded that the flow rate was not lower than 44,600 barrels a day, maybe even 10 or 20 percent higher. His results, along with everyone else's on the team, were statistically analyzed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Lehr's Plume Team was joined by a Department of Energy team that had done its own calculations, producing results even higher than Savaş's. On June 15, the federal government announced the official flow rate: between 35,000 and 60,000 barrels a day.
Right before BP engineers finally capped the well in mid-July, they inserted a pressure device to gauge the flow and measured 53,000 barrels a day, plus or minus 5 percent.
"Ömer had a different approach than the others, and that was a good thing," Lehr says. "We were working under emergency, not experimental, conditions and under extremely tight timeframes, so there was a lot we simply didn't know. None of our estimates was exact, but Ömer's came closest to the direct pressure reading. It was a great contribution to the country, and Berkeley should be proud."
For his contributions, along with his team members, Savaş received a U.S. Geological Survey Director's Award in December.
That same month, BP formally challenged the official rate, calling it "flawed" and arguing that it should be 20 to 50 percent lower (which could lower BP's fine by several billion dollars). In response, the Department of Justice is mounting a defense and has requested Savaş's computer files related to his analysis.
Whatever the outcome, Savaş stands by his contribution, which he calls "the power of the pencil."
"To think that some simple calculations done here at Berkeley had such a huge impact, that's an awesome and at the same time a sobering feeling."

Black Mountain is a Canadian psychedelic rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. The band is composed of Stephen McBean, Jeremy Schmidt, Adam Bulgasem, Amber Webber, Arjan Miranda. Since forming in 2004, Black Mountain has released five LPs, Black Mountain (2005), In the Future (2008), Wilderness Heart (2010), IV (2016) and Destroyer (2019); two EPs and a number of singles, mostly on the Jagjaguwar label.

Overview

Early career
Stephen (Gord) Gordon McBean (b. 1969), was born in Vancouver and grew up in Kleinburg and Sidney (BC). As a teenager he became interested in music and became part of the local punk-rock scene in Victoria. He formed his first band, Jerk Ward, in 1981. in 1984, the band recorded a demo that was re-released in 2009 as Too Young To Thrash. The band evolved into Mission of Christ (MOC) who recorded a split 7-inch in 1987. Two years later the band broke up and McBean moved to Vancouver where he started the band Gus. They released two singles, a split EP and an album The Progressive Science of Breeding Idiots for a Dumber Society (1995). The band gave McBean his first experience with extensive touring and he later described the experience as a "bit of noise, bit of Melvins, funk, the Amrep stuff that was going on then. Lots of screaming. Lasted four years".

In 1996 McBean asked drummer Joshua Wells (Radio Berlin) to join his band Ex Dead Teenager. By 1999 it had morphed into a duo of Wells and McBean as Jerk With a Bomb. They signed with Scratch Records and Jagjaguwar in the US, and released three albums: Death to False Metal (1999), The Old Noise (2001) and Pyrokinesis (2003). The latter featured Amber Webber of Dream on Dreary on vocals.

Black Mountain
While McBean and Wells were still performing as Jerk With a Bomb in 2003, McBean began to demo material that included the song "Black Mountain".  At the start of 2004, the two began working on the demos under the same name with contributions from Webber, bassist Matt Camirand and keyboard player Jeremy Schmidt. They recorded the eight track, self-titled debut album during the first half of the year. McBean would later describe the change as "it was almost like a release. I mean, I loved Jerk With A Bomb, but it got to a point where I was done with it, I was through with that part of my life".

The first release under the new name was a split 7-inch with Destroyer that featured the song "Bicycle Man". The album was released in through Scratch Records in Canada in December 2004, while Jagjaguwar put it out a month later. The band toured around North America and Europe, while in June the 12-inch single "Druganaut" b/w "Buffalo Swan" was released in the US. In August 2005 the band opened for Coldplay on their Twisted Logic Tour for three weeks, with their final opening in San Diego. In the same month the album was released in Germany through City Slang Records.

A vinyl single was released in April 2007 named "Surrender Sound Session: Unkle vs. Autolux/Black Mountain" with a remix of "No Hits" on the B side.

Their second album In the Future was a finalist for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize and was also nominated for "Best Alternative Album" in the 2009 Juno Awards. The song "Stay Free" from In the Future was featured on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack.

In September 2010 Black Mountain performed in an amphitheater located in the woods of Oisterwijk at the Incubate (festival) in Tilburg, Netherlands.

Leader Stephen McBean also heads another similarly named band, Pink Mountaintops, while Webber performs with the band Kodiak Deathbeds and Lightning Dust.

Several members of the band have, for as long as a decade, worked for organizations that meet the basic living requirements of the chronically poor, drug addicted and mentally ill in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside neighborhood, such as Insite. In an interview, the band said: "After work we all try not to think too hard about the effect it has on our lives. It keeps us grounded."

In 2010 McBean moved to Los Angeles. The band released their third album Wilderness Heart in September 2011, which was produced by Randall Dunn and Dave Sardy. It was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize, and appeared on the !earshot Top 50 chart.

On April 1, 2016, they released their fourth studio album, IV. A fifth studio album, Destroyer, was released on 24 May 2019. "Let Spirits Ride" was featured in an episode of the ABC network television show, "The Rookie," in March 2019. "Future Shade" featured on Sportsnet's "Hockey Night in Canada" in May 2019. In August 2019, the band played Palp Festival on a mountain in Switzerland as well as Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary.

'Hereditary,' 'Under the Silver Lake' and the Problem of Too Many Movie References
Did 'Hereditary' feel familiar? That's probably because this supernatural spooker is rife with references to other movies
By Stephen Garrett • 06/21/18 2:00pm
Toni Collette in Hereditary. A24
Show us something new. But make it familiar. In our comfort-food era of movie sequels, prequels, reboots and expanded universes, this mantra is drilled into every aspiring filmmaker's head. If you want to work in the 21st century studio system, originality isn't an asset. It's a liability.
So we should be applauding Hereditary, Ari Aster's critically beloved horror flick, which uses mounting dread and lacerating chills to illuminate the plight of a cursed family unwittingly beholden to demonic possession. Yet that nagging sense of déjà vu is hard to shake. Why doesn't the movie feel fresh?
Probably because this supernatural spooker is rife with references to other movies. Its slow-burn pacing, long dissolves, drone-heavy music, shots of silent screams, and even a measured zoom on a miniature model that then contains real people are straight out of The Shining. When a candle flame shoots upwards in a sudden burst, it's a direct quote from The Exorcist. And one scene when Toni Collette is describing how her motherhood was being controlled by someone else feels like a quick synopsis of Rosemary's Baby.

Talk about hereditary: That same sense of authorial heritage informs the upcoming release Under the Silver Lake, David Robert Mitchell's neo-neo-noir (retro-neo-noir?) that explores the shady, secret underworld of sunny Los Angeles through the prism of a gone girl. Andrew Garfield plays a nosy, layabout horndog in a nondescript apartment complex who falls hard one night for girl-next-door Riley Keough, and then obsessively tries to track her down when she goes missing.
The film is a cryptic blast of energy—bold, confident, strange, and funny. It's also, at 140 minutes, a bit of a bore, chock-a-block with naggingly smug nods (both overt and covert) to old films and filmmakers.
Andrew Garfield in Under the Silver Lake. Festival de Cannes
Garfield (who has a Rear Window poster in his place) chats on the phone with his mom about the 1928 film 7th Heaven and their shared love of screen ingénue Janet Gaynor. His balcony overlooks an apartment with a chronically topless woman (hello, The Long Goodbye). And there's a cheeky pool sequence with Keough (who sports a How to Marry a Millionaire poster in her pad) that re-creates Marilyn Monroe's skinny-dip in the unfinished (unfinished!) comedy Something's Got to Give.
Garfield literally stumbles across Hitchcock's grave. Why? Is it part of Mitchell's celebration of L.A.? Because (ahem) Hitchcock never bothered to set any of his 60+ films in Los Angeles. There's also a myriad of eerie, crepuscular moments that have David Lynch's fingerprints all over them—including a freaky sequence with a naked wraith called the Owl's Kiss. But the encounters never build or deepen.

"It's so much about the way Los Angeles is understood through the history of cinema," Mitchell explained at the press conference after the movie had its world premiere last month at the Cannes Film Festival. Sure, film geeks will dig the homages. But to what end? There's a totemic use of these titles that feels less organic and more ritualistic.
A filmmaker's best shot at success is to become a critics' darling at events like Cannes or Sundance or Venice. But the world of budding auteurs can fall prey to its own highbrow recycling. Think of it as film-school one-upmanship. Want to work in a certain genre? Sure, you can be original. But show us your influences. Trumpet your stylish odes. You'll be taken more seriously if you can reference someone else's works. Even better if you can peacock your broad knowledge of cinema.
"I love so many different kinds of films from so many different points in history and parts of the world that—depending on the project and what it is—it just kind of comes out naturally," explained Mitchell at Cannes. "It comes from a deep love for these things."
A deep love, no doubt. But it also feels like a crutch—or even worse, a security blanket. And that blanket can be just as smothering as it is comforting. Under the Silver Lake, which received mixed reviews in Cannes, had its release date pushed from June to December. That kind of rescheduling could mean re-editing. My recommendation? Lose 30 minutes, specifically some of those film references. This movie can still be saved.

To enjoy Hereditary, however, it's best watched once. On second viewing, after the film's climactic secrets are revealed, all the eerie moments that precede the final reveal are quickly explained. The mystery becomes a puzzle. The Shining becomes The Sixth Sense. Kubrickian becomes Shyamalanian.
It's a valid question to wonder why both Under the Silver Lake and Hereditary use a series of signs and symbols, cryptic messages, coded language and cinematic references to tell their stories. They both feel overstuffed and yet curiously empty—especially when all the pieces are sorted out and put into place.
There's a sense of that, too, in Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle's busily banal La La Land. Sure, it's a tribute to Hollywood musicals—and it dutifully tips its hat to Singin' in the Rain, The Band Wagon, West Side Story, Funny Face, Broadway Melody of 1940 and An American in Paris. But he's paying homage while not really advancing the form.

Chazelle ironically also references two films by Jacques Demy (Les demoiselles de Rochefort and Les parapluies de Cherbourg), a man whose movies are also meant to be tributes—which technically means that Chazelle is paying homage to someone who is paying homage. But there's a difference here. Demy took the conventions of the movie musical and deglamorized them. He de-constructed the conventions and recontextualized them.
There's nothing wrong in referencing old movies. But bring something new to it. Look at Quentin Tarantino. He's never directed a film that didn't somehow riff on, expound, point toward or simply rip off at least a half-dozen other movies—which, admittedly, can be a bit onanistic. But he's also re-mixing, scrambling and owning the result in a way that, at its best, is delightful. (He even took the 1978 title Inglorious Bastards and literally tweaked it into Inglourious Basterds because he liked the misspelled version better).
Spike Lee cribbed Robert Mitchum's LOVE/HATE finger tattoos and turned them into Radio Raheem's blinged-out LOVE/HATE brass knuckles in Do the Right Thing. Brian De Palma knocked off the Odessa Steps sequence from Battleship Potemkin for the climactic baby carriage scene in The Untouchables. And George Lucas stole the opening text crawl from Flash Gordon, the basic plot from The Hidden Fortress, the swordplay from The Adventure of Robin Hood, the Death Star attack from The Dam Busters, and the award ceremony from Triumph of the Will when he made his ultimate pastiche, Star Wars.
Poach away, young filmmakers! But if you do, put your own personal twist on it. Reinterpret it. Reinvent it. Make it your own. Under the Silver Lake is a fascinating study of aimlessness, displacement and unmoored youth. Stop using silly movie trivia as a distraction. Hereditary has a gut-wrenching study of familial guilt drawn with horrifying flair. Don't use a reductive schematic structure that turns the uncanny into the too-clever. La La Land tells a poignant story about how sometimes the ex-love of your life is actually the most important relationship you may ever have. Fine, you can dress it up with derivative dance numbers, but those moments won't be half as memorable as your premise.

It's interesting that recent films like Barry Jenkins' Oscar-winning Moonlight, Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird and Boots Riley's upcoming Sorry to Bother You are so original—and lauded as such. They wear their influences lightly, or not at all. Is it possible that women and people of color don't feel an obligation to reference a film industry that has excluded them for decades? (But this perhaps warrants an essay all its own.)
It's harder and harder to cut through the white noise of internet-driven (and internet-distracted) pop culture. Maybe having something to say does require a few gimmicks—even if they might come off as pandering catnip for cinephiles. At one point during the Cannes press conference, a journalist asked Mitchell about a mysterious character in his film who's responsible for secretly ghostwriting all the most popular songs of the past century—neutering the idea that the most adored creative artists were actually capable of individual expression. "Is it still possible to have an original voice?" the reporter asked.
"What you say is true," said Mitchell. "It's very difficult and it's probably harder and harder as we go."

I'll be speaking at the Nexus 2016 Conference for gospel workers, on 23 May 2016, on the topic of "Ministry in Exile".
Nexus is a one-day evangelical ministry conference where fellow workers in the gospel can sharpen and help each other translate good theology into everyday ministry practice. Our program focuses on Ministry in Exile, how understanding the times will help shape our methodology and everyday experience of ministry.
Christians have always battled with a sense of not belonging. On the one hand, this world is our home because it is the good and beautiful place God created for us. And yet when Peter describes us as 'exiles' and as 'aliens and strangers in the world', we now immediately what he is talking about.
Perhaps more than ever before (in recent memory at least) the truth of this description is hitting home for Christians in the West. We see the aggressively anti-Christian stance of many of leading commentators and opinion-shapers, and the rising intolerance of basic Christian moral positions (such as on homosexuality), and we wonder what the future will hold.
At Nexus 16, on May 23, 2016, we're going to think biblically and theologically about our situation—about the terrain and the time in which we minister the gospel 'in exile', and the challenge of equipping our people to live and thrive as Christians in an increasingly hostile environment.
Join us in Sydney at Village Church Annandale or if you're not close by, gather some friends and listen together to the livestream (as several thousand people do each year).
Our main presenters at Nexus 16 will include Lionel Windsor, Phil Colgan, Chris Braga and Kanishka Raffel. Plus an extended Q&A between Dominic Steele and Phillip Jensen.

AURORA, Colo. — The dean of an Aurora school threatened the principal with a gun in his office and said he would "hurt all the people around" her during a closed door meeting on Wednesday, according to an arrest affidavit.
The dean at Aurora West College Preparatory Academy, 30-year-old Tushar Astab Rae, was arrested after he allegedly brought a gun to the school and threatened the staff members.
On Wednesday, Rae did not show up for work but allegedly texted Tselolikhin around 2 p.m. asking her to meet him in his office.
"You shouldn't have said what you said. I don't want to hurt you, I'm going to hurt all the people around you," he threatened according to the affidavit.
Rae then allegedly threatened to "shoot the knee caps off" two other school administrators adding that he had two extra rounds in his pocket.
Following the threat, the affidavit said that two students came to his office at which point he put the gun away and they had a brief conversation with them before Tselolikhin also left.

England v Pakistan 1st ODI: Four top tips to take at the Rose Bowl
Sam Barnard, Assistant Sports Editor | August 22, 2016
England v Pakistan
First of five One Day Internationals
Wednesday, August 24th
Play starts: 14:00 BST
The Rose Bowl, West End (Hampshire CCC)
Live on Sky Sports 2
Four top tips for 1st ODI
After drawing the Test series with Pakistan and missing out on going top of the world rankings, England will be determined to make amends in their five ODIs against the same nation.
Coral have picked out four top tips for cricketing punters to take for the first one-day match at Hampshire's Rose Bowl…
Morgan to be top England batsman
The likes of Jason Roy, Alex Hales and Jos Buttler all hit hundreds in a 3-1 ODI series win against Pakistan in the UAE late last year, but skipper Eoin Morgan top scored for England with 76 in the opener, despite his side losing.
Hosts captain Mogab also smashed 107no against the Men in Green the last time the duo nations played at the Rose Bowl in 2010, so he's a fantastic 5/1 price to lead from the front and get the most runs for his team again.
Wood to be best England bowler
While Mark Wood has be out of action for England this year though injury, he certainly looked back to his best at the recent T20 Blast Finals Day, where he inspired Durham to topple pre-match favourites Yorkshire after a brilliant penultimate over for his side.
Pakistan have never faced Wood in ODIs, so this unpredictability could prove to be a handful for them. Take tasty 7/2 odds for him to be best England bowler.
Hafeez to be top Pakistan batsman
Mohammad Hafeez has certainly enjoyed facing England in the past year, as his two most recent centuries in Tests and ODIs have come against them – both in the 2015 series in the UAE.
His unbeaten 102 in the first ODI back in November gave Pakistan a 1-0 lead, and so he is also 7/2 to top score for them once more.
England to be King of the Crease
Coral are offering a great market for punters to profit from, with odds of 13/8 available on England winning the match, having the highest opening partnership and having the biggest score after 15 overs.
As England have won the last three ODI series' with Pakistan (they were triumphed last time out at the Rose Bowl), and with Roy and Hales having had previous success in this form of the game against them, this bet certainly looks a great price.
England ODI squad to face Pakistan
Eoin Morgan (Middlesex, captain), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Liam Dawson (Hampshire) Chris Jordan (Sussex), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Liam Plunkett (Yorkshire), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), Jake Ball (Nottinghamshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham).
Note that Ball comes in as a replacement for David Willey, who injured his hand playing for Yorkshire in the semi loss to Durham on T20 Blast Finals Day.

On-loan defender Sam Byram made his long-awaited comeback in Nottingham Forest's 3-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night.
Yet despite failing to prevent his team coming away from Hillsborough with a heavy defeat, the full back was praised by Forest fans for a good performance.
Out of action since last August, just a matter of days after he joined Forest on a season-long loan, 25-year-old Byram generally impressed upon his return to first team action.
"It was like he'd never been away," wrote Nottinghamshire Live. "Byram looked as good on his return as he did back in August before injury stopped him in his tracks. He showed his class on a tough night."
And the supporters themselves were equally effusive in their praise of the former Leeds defender, who joined West Ham in 2016.
"I thought he was fine," said Forest Forum user valspoodle. "He showed good touches and went in for a few tough tackles which, after his long absence, was to his credit."
Thoughts echoed by fellow Forest fan Carvel, who added: "The only real positive from tonight and he's not even ours. I hope we try to sign him - or maybe another loan with some clause about injuries."
Byram joined West Ham in the January transfer window and was immediately hailed as a future England international by co-owner David Sullivan. "He [Byram] has been bought for the future and long term; he could well be an English international," he said.

How cloud IT is saving lives
The NHS deals with over one million patients every 36 hours, and its net expenditure is expected to hit more than £120bn in 2016-17. To handle this growing demand, the organisation's IT operations have been forced to adapt, adopting a digital-first approach. By 2020, all patient records should be accessible and shareable online – but that's just the start.
"It's a huge opportunity to transform the way the NHS works and patients receive treatment," says Paul Hennin, senior director, EMEA, at Netskope. "Trusts can take advantage of the cloud to empower clinical staff and boost productivity."
The benefits could be huge: "Services can be delivered faster and more effectively, and at a lower cost," Hennin says. And by embracing the cloud, the NHS may be able to do more with less.
Flexible structure
The public perception of the NHS's IT projects hasn't quite recovered from the very public – and very expensive – failure of the Patient Records System, which cost taxpayers an estimated £10bn.
But this focus is unfair. From the outside, the NHS looks like a single entity. In reality, it's made up of hundreds of separate trusts, clinical commissioning groups and professional support organisations.
While the federated structure of the NHS makes top-down IT projects difficult, it also creates an ideal test bed for agile, responsive implementations that can directly improve services for patients. In one example, Bolton NHS Foundation Trust created a virtual desktop that's secure and easily accessible by its clinicians working across 30 locations in the local area.
Working with IT provider Citrix, the system's single sign-on technology makes access simple, while radio-frequency identification (RFID) allows desktops to be unlocked with a single swipe of an ID badge.
The shift, which happened at the same time the trust updated its ageing desktop estate, was driven by one goal: consistency. The system ensures clinicians have access to all the data and information they need, speeding up decision-making and reducing bureaucracy.
Strategic focus
In 2015, NHS Scotland laid out its plans on using cloud computing to transform public sector services. NHS England has yet to set out its plans, but that hasn't stopped organisations like Informatics Merseyside from partnering with IT firm SCC to create what it calls "the UK's first healthcare cloud".
Technology clearly has the and, as part of this approach, a team of public and private-sector experts are conducting a systematic assessment of provisions and helping NHS organisations develop a cloud system that meets and exceeds the complex and demanding security challenges.
As NHS organisations begin to embrace cloud services, there is also a greater acceptance of commercial partnerships, previously viewed negatively within the NHS.
The NHS is aware it needs to partner with external organisations to help power this transformation. It's making life easier too, with new procurement systems like the Crown Commercial Service removing red tape.
Security concerns
In 2015, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) was given the power to audit NHS organisations, something previously reserved for government departments. It illustrates a growing concern that NHS organisations may not be capable of protecting their data in the modern era. Earlier this year, Barts Health Trust, the largest NHS trust in England, was the latest NHS organisation targeted by hackers – and it won't be the last.
In September 2016, cloud-provider Netskope published the results of a series of freedom of information requests into cloud app use at hospital trusts, and the results weren't encouraging. Some NHS trusts were clearly unable to manage the complexities and risks of introducing and managing cloud computing systems.
So what's the solution? "Cloud is already so entrenched and the benefits so widely recognised that you can't put it back in a box," Hennin says.
While the NHS may have a commitment to go paperless by 2020, legal constraints and bureaucracy are large roadblocks to the development of a national solution. In any case, experts like Hennin believes this is impractical. Instead, NHS organisations must forge their own path.
"NHS trusts should arm employees with access to secure cloud services while controlling cloud usage" Hennin says. This creates a situation where "productivity is not curtailed and employees are not pushed to use riskier services without IT [departments'] knowledge".

Like I mentioned over the weekend, Blake has become really involved with the chess club at his school. This has been really positive for several reasons. First, he's made friends outside of just his class. Second, chess was something special that he used to do with my dad, and he's told me that playing chess makes him think of Papa. Third, it's really improved his temperament a lot. He used to get really frustrated and angry when he'd lose a game. Now that he's playing a couple of games a day, three or four times a week, he takes every win and loss in stride, because it's just one more game.
At the beginning of the school year, I was contacted by one of the other chess club parents to ask if I could help with the club. The club meets four days a week, during the lunch hour, and attendance is "come as you can." Once a week, there's a student from Tech's Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence (SPICE) who comes in and works with the kids, but they needed parents in attendance on other days. It doesn't involve much, just an hour of your time to make sure things are going smoothly, settling questions or disputes, or being an opponent if anybody needs somebody to play with. I agreed to come in every Wednesday.
When I was just starting to plan Project Advent, I was walking into the All Saints office one Wednesday to get out the chess things, and I stopped to talk to Paige, the chaplain and admissions officer for the school. We go way back - my first job out of college was as an applications developer for a computer consulting company, and she worked there as a web designer and graphic artist. (For what it's worth, although her job duties now probably don't call for it as much, she's a really talented designer!) She asked what was coming up on Look What Danny Made!, and I told her about the idea that I was kicking around. It hadn't even occurred to me that my weekly visit to school could count as an hour of service for the project until she pointed it out.
I played two games today, one with Blake's good friend Ripon, and another with a boy named Carson, who hadn't been to chess club before. I've got to hand it to these kids - they're really good, and it's obvious that they practice a lot! On Monday morning in chapel, the children who had competed this weekend were recognized, and got to present their team trophy to the school, and ever since then, there's been an increased turnout for the club. There were more than ten kids in there today, when I usually only see about five.
Several moves into my second game today, I looked up at the kid who I was playing. His face was deep in thought, but he was also really having fun. I was having fun. I think that's why I'd never thought about this as service before - it's just a thing I could come and take part in while being with Blake. But if I'm also helping other kids, and letting them see that there are lots of grownups out there who care to spend some time in their life, well, I think that's a good thing, too.
Gratitude Project: So far, I've been writing a little bit each day about something that I'm thankful for, and I'm still going to do that in a minute. If you remember in the post where I introduced Project Advent and also told you about the Gratitude Project that Pastor Craig challenged us with, another one of the things that he challenged us to do was to be real before God every day.
How best to describe this... Lately, when I am in prayer, my heart feels as though it is cleft, literally split open. There is something God is trying to bring out, and I can't entirely tell what it is yet. One thing that I've felt clearly led to do, though, is to identify my fears and start deciding how I will face them. This has been a sometimes troubling task. Why am I bringing it up here? I don't know for sure. I just wanted to put it out there.
Today I am grateful for other people who treat my children with love, whether it's Paige at All Saints, or Holly at Jack's day care. I'm appreciative of the lessons that they impart to my babies, and for the people that they are helping them grow into. I'm thankful for Dr. Conser, who keeps them healthy, and worries with us when they are sick. I'm thankful for Ms. Cathy who teaches Ava's Sunday school class, for Kerri and Morgan who have cared for all my children since they were babies, and for all the other people in our church who help tend to my kids' spiritual upbringing.

Welcome to the online community for discussing the Honda Odyssey, one of the top selling vans / mini-vans on the market today. This is one of several forum sites on our growing network of Honda enthusiast sites.
We encourage you to join us on our Honda Odyssey forum where we hope to have some great discussions about the Honda Odyssey van - new and old. Sure, we are still new and growing, but this will soon be one of the most active Honda Odyssey forums online - and we want YOU to be part of it!
As the minivan segment continues to shrink, those left fighting it out don't have to be quite as innovative.

We seem to have installed all of the antennas. Still some issue with 40m vertical so we cannot run high power on that band. Will hopefully rectify this issue tomorrow.
160-80m antenna is up so we will show on these two bands if conditions permit.
So far it has been raining almost every day and thunderstorms are frequent here. The level of QRN when it rains is well over S9. Hopefully we will be luckier durin contest weekend.
Sorry, still no pictures or video. There are two reasons: we are still pretty busy setting up the station and there are problems with GPRS internet.
We have put up 20-15-10m half wave vertical today. Made some qso on all the 3 bands to see how it works. It seems to be OK. We do not plan to operate CW on these 3 bands before the contest but might show up there on SSB.
30-17-12 m antenna is also available and we will mainly be on these 3 bands until we set up 160-80-40m antenna (possibly tomorrow. However 12 m antenna did not come out well so we will be on 12m only with 100W. We beleave it should be enough for the time being.
All antennas are set up in a salt water and I hope to publish some pictures later today.
We put up first antenna (30 and 17m bands) and made few first QSO on 30m. Operation has started around 19-00 GMT with 9A2KD. We were running 100W. Hope to install more antennas tomorrow and put some pictures on the web.
How do we pack our equipment .
We are leaving in a couple of days for Maldives. Since I plan to publish some video on this site (something I never did before) I decided to have a training session.
Here is the result. Please do not criticize it too much. This is my very first attempt.
I have just put some new pictures on the setup page.
I have just updated 8Q7DV on line Log. Hope to post here some new pictures later today. Vadim is now back home. We continue our preparation for the November trip. Let us hope 10m band will stay as good as it was last weekend.
8Q7DV is cloused down till November the 20th.
Vadim is heading home on the 3rd of November. There will be no activity untill the 20th of November when we hope to put up new antennas in preparation for the CQWW CW contest. The activity will extend till the 2nd of December. See you on the bands.
I have just uploaded log to the server. You can check now if you are in the log on a log search page of this site. While doing that check excellent propagation tool which Club Log provides. You will be able to find out what is the best time to work 8Q7 from your area on the bands you are interested in.

Our highlights from Vidcon
Hank and John Green are somewhere tropical right now, resting up after the coup they just pulled off in Vidcon 2010. The sold-out online video conference took over L.A.'s Hyatt Regency Century Plaza from July 9 -11 in a flurry of cameras, Bieber-inspired hairstyles and coveted subscribe pillows. Feedback on Twitter was unanimously positive: Vidcon rulez!
We were lucky enough to be among the 1,300+ fanboys and girls who gathered to fete all things video and hear from some of the biggest names in the online video industry. It was invaluable to meet with so many of you in "real life" and, yeah, some of us may even admit to a quickened heartbeat when in the vicinity of our favorite creators.
Here are our highlights from the event, in no particular order:
The energy and passion of everyone there. Wow! Just WOW. We should bottle that, keep it around the office, ration it and release it occasionally when we need a boost. RedBull and 5-hour-energy would not be needed in the micro-kitchens anymore... - Andy Stack, Product Manager
The two-way interactions between YouTube staff and community -- the chance to go beyond the username and talk with people about what they need from YouTube's product to help them accomplish their goals - Hunter Walk, Director, Product Management
iJustine giving out T-shirts to faithful fans in the lobby, using a bar stool as her table, showed her dedication to the YouTube community - Anna Richardson, PR Manager
The Uncultured Project and the standing ovation it received after showing this video. It's one more reminder of how YouTube and its community are changing the world in both big and small ways. - Jim Woods, Director, Content Partnerships
HiimRawn's performance on Saturday morning, featuring Rawn in a bikini, playing the accordion, dancers in gold lame body suits, John Green in a turkey costume and a small marching band. - Mark Day, Comedy Manager
Meeting John Green while wearing a shirt with his face on it. John Green: "Nice shirt." My response: "Nice face!" - Rick Silvestrini, Product Marketing Manager
I fell in love with the incredible passion from the audience and their desire to change the world -- invigorating and reminds me why we do what we do. Hank and John are especially awesome and genuine; they're leading a movement. - Brian Glick, Product Manager
Being in the elevator with a sobbing girl after the iJustine meetup. - Lauren Siegal, Ad Programs Associate
Sitting on a panel with DeStorm, who moved from the established music industry to make his musical career on YouTube without major label backing. It was great that he, like so many YouTube musicians I met, see a successful YouTube presence not as stepping stone to a label deal, but as the career in and of itself. - Chris LaRosa, Product Manger
Seeing kids networking, getting involved in the culture, and wanting to apply for partnership. I'm amazed at the initiative they're taking when they're already so young. - Jeffrey Lee-Chan, Software Engineer
Hearing an aspiring partner say that getting autoplay on his channel changed his life. - Josh Siegel, Product Manager
ShayCarl, charlieissocoollike, sxephil, whatthebuckshow and many other partners highlighting how this is the best job they ever had. - Shenaz Zack, Product Manager
Although it was a bit uncomfortable to hear a 13-year-old girl ask Shane Dawson to be the father of her children, it was truly inspiring to witness the enthusiasm, dedication, and excitement of fans and YouTube stars. Props to the Green brothers for their hard work and giving away conference proceeds to charity! - Falon Fatemi, Strategist, Business Development
Seeing parents trying to understand YouTube and supporting their kids who were so passionate about it...and getting a glimpse of Rocktard. - Mia Quagliarello, Product Marketing Manager
Ze Frank's presentation - too many to name!
And what about you? What were your highlights? Share your thoughts and videos in the comments below! (Please note: comments are moderated due to spam and will be updated about once a day.)
So once again, thank you, Hank, John, everyone at Vidcon and in fact the whole YouTube community. We were honored to be part of your event.
Wow. Let's hope vlogbrothers Hank and John Green are somewhere tropical right now, resting up after the coup they just pulled off in Vidcon 2010. The sold-out online video conference took over L.A.'s Hyatt Regency Century Plaza from July 9 -11 in a flurry of cameras, Bieber-inspired hairstyles and coveted subscribe pillows.
