A room for thoughts about movies
Sean Hood's challenge to the film loving community
Do you remember Sean Hood? Maybe not.
I'll give you a clue: This summer his star meter rank at IMDb plummeted from 4 391 to 52 709. He took it like a man. You've got it now?
Yeah. Sean was the guy who wrote the script to Conan, got a lot of beating for it and then shared what it felt like to be in that situation.
He didn't just write a great, honest and in many ways inspiring post; he also was kind enough to comment here at The Velvet Café as I referred to it. That's the kind of person he is. He interacts with the community of people who love films – either they're creators of them or consumers.
I've been following his blog ever since I found it. The other day he gave me and everyone else who reads him an assignment. He wrote the following lines and asked us to quote them and spread them as much as possible:
""Hollywood was once a dream factory, but it has become a recycling center."
– Sean Hood
I replied to this post and reminded Sean that while Hollywood might be recycling a lot, there are still many great movies done outside of Hollywood. The question is how to make people find them as long as Hollywood is so dominating.
He wrote back quickly:
"Film lovers must become curators and drive people to put World Cinema at the top of their Netflix cues (or whatever service they left Netflix for.)
Not only are good movies still done. There are THOUSANDS of them out there. They just don't have stars and 100million dollar SFX budgets."
Me – a curator?
So what to make of this? I'm a film lover for sure, so I supposed this meant that he wanted me to become a Curator. I didn't even know what it meant.
The first thought that crossed my mind was the image of the curator I probably know best: a certain raid boss in the online game World of Warcraft. But it didn't quite make sense that we should all become like him – a big, stupid guy who guards a castle, one of the bad guys, whose only reason to exist is to get killed by bloodthirsty gamers. Would someone like him really drive people to watch better movies?
Next I went to Wikipedia to enlighten myself and found the following explanation:
"A curator (from Latin: cura meaning "care") is a manager or overseer. Traditionally, a curator or keeper of a cultural heritage institution (e.g. gallery, museum, library or archive), is a content specialist responsible for an institution's collections and involved with the interpretation of heritage material."
That sounds like serious business! Did Sean actually claim that my little café was as a part of a cultural heritage institution? I always imagined it as if I was just talking to myself, writing down whatever was on my mind and talking a little bit with people who pass by for a drink of some sort before or after their movie watching. A room for thoughts about movies – definitely. But not a control room where decisions are made about what movies will come up in the theatres.
Let's assume that I'd write my posts in such a convincing way that my about 20 subscribers run straight to the cinema to get a ticket whenever I shared my love for a certain movie. Even in that case it wouldn't be noticeable.
It's not because I'm humble that I say this. It's because I'm a realist.
Affecting the tail
However – I didn't stop at my instinct reaction. I thought it over again. What if Sean is right?
After all – Marketing isn't what it used to be. There's this long tail everyone is talking about these days. Who knows, perhaps I can have an influence on it? After all: sometimes things go viral. Friends tell friends. I link to someone who tells someone who whispers in someone else's ear, who tweets it… As far as I understand it, that's how The Shawshank Redemption became so successful.
I think it's time that we face it – we who are bloggers, twitterati, forum junkies or just film nerds who love to talk aloud about movies. It's time that we realize that it matters what we say. It matters what we write. We may not be famous like Roger Ebert or Mark Kermode. But we too are overseers.
Some of are like owls – knowledgeable, trustworthy, sharp-eyed. People come to them when they need advice on what to watch. Others are path finders and tree climbers. They break new ground, they venture boldly into unknown territories, willingly watching completely unheard of movies, cutting their way through the bush, clearing the way for everyone else, pointing out those rare species, helping us discover those rare beautiful movies we'd otherwise have passed, not noticing.
We have a mission. Sean expanded a bit further about what this mission looks like as he answered a question at Quora: "How do screenwriters feel about bad reviews – in particular claims of formulaic writing?"
In the post he's targeting Anthony Lane, a critic at The New Yorker, which Sean finds annoying. I'll quote a fairly big chunk of the post here and I hope Sean will forgive me. I'm just trying to spread the word, because I think it makes sense:
"Every review of a Hollywood film he writes can be summarized as follows: Here are all the numerous ways that I, Anthony Lane, am so, so, SO much more clever and sophisticated than the movie I am reviewing and the people who made it.
What is frustrating for screenwriters and movie fans is not that this isn't true. Anthony Lane IS far more clever and sophisticated than the movies he reviews. But, why the hell is he reviewing "Bad Teacher" in the first place? Is it any surprise that "Bad Teacher" doesn't have a title worthy of Raymond Chandler? Or that some of the scenes are derivative and that these scenes are not as well executed as those in classics like "Cool Hand Luke?"
From a screenwriter and filmmaker's perspective this kind of review is lazy and self indulgent. "Bad Teacher" will be reviewed by tens of thousands of people on the internet, and no reader of the New Yorker needs Mr. Lane to trash it; except to participate in intellectual and cinematic snobbery.
What Anthony Lane does well is find smaller films, independent and foreign films, like "The Names of Love," which he buries later in the article. This is the kind of movie that has no advertising budget, but is perfect for readers of the New Yorker, who may be interested in seeing a film with higher creative ambitions than "Bad Teacher." I think most screenwriters wish that professional critics would focus on finding these hidden gems, and use their platform to help them get seen. By highlighting mainstream films in reviews that do little more than state the obvious and blame the screenwriter, critics like Anthony Lane only make it harder for filmmakers and screenwriters to get quality scripts made.
Ultimately, I get hired again and again to write movies based on the screenplays I've written that have gone unproduced. These scripts often get rave "reviews" from the executives and producers who read them, along with condolences, "too bad that didn't get made. It's just fantastic, but female leads, dramas and period films are just hard. They don't make their money back. But, we love your writing and we'd like to hire you to write Children of The Corn Part 36
I have no delusions that I'm a screenwriting genius. I'm a "genre hack" (as chronicled in my blog genrehacks.com) and I'm an artsy, eccentric indie filmmaker. But when given the opportunity, I write well structured stories with complex characters who make surprising choices. What "bad reviews" remind me of, is that in Hollywood, I rarely get the opportunity.
To snarky and clever professional reviews, I say stop shooting fish in a barrel, and go find well written, but smaller, films and direct people to see them. To jaded, cynical fan boys, I say stop rewarding "formulaic" films by buying tickets to see them, and ignoring films that are far better. Search out and find those ambitious and well-written movies that may not have a big star or swollen digital effects budget.
Screenwriters want to get original, ambitious, and entertaining movies up on the screen. Help us do that! "
Sean's challenge to us
Sean Hood has given us a challenge. We can turn Hollywood into being the dream factory it once was rather than a recycling centre.
It's all about the choices we make. It's about the movies we pay for, the movies we talk about, the movies we blog about. We are the ones who spread the words that will decide the future for the film industry. And we probably make better use of our influence by helping people to find the rare flowers than by yelling and complaining about the weed.
We are the curators.
But it's Friday night and for now I'm off duty. I have a cup of coffee. I have a new movie to explore, for my own enjoyment and nothing else.
What more could you possibly ask for?

It was the reddest blood I've ever seen »
I think it would be a blast to run programming for a film series or a theatre. More practically speaking, there are some films that I've really been hounding people to check out in my own little neck of the woods. Even if most people don't end up watching the film and if they do they may not like it as much, just having it out there repeatedly hopefully just helps people be aware of these things. Anyway, it is usually when I least expect it that I find an absolute charmer.
It sounds to me as if you're a born curator Bondor. Either you decide the programme at a theatre or just whisper in the ears of people you encounter.
I've seen this very thing develop on my own blog in the past year or so as more and more people have started telling me they check out films based upon my recommendations. On some level, it's the most frightening thing I can imagine, the thought that my opinion actually drives people to action. Granted, they're only watching a film, but still, it's somewhat of a scary thought.
One of the very few things I take pride in on my blog is the diversity of what I cover and the fact that I've helped expose a small group of people to films they've never heard of that are off the beaten track. Sure, alone, a blog or two may not have a big impact, but think about the fact there are hundreds of active film blogs, most of which at least have a handful of people following them. If each of them could help expose their readers to great hidden gems, I think the film blogging world could make a significant difference in people's movie watching habits.
James Blake Ewing
I feel like that too! It happens that people actually tell me – or write in comments – that they plan to watch movies based on my recommendation. It always freaks me out a little. What if they HATE it and think I'm an idiot for writing so enthusiastically about it? They might feel cheated. On the other hand – I'm also pleased and a little flattered that they trust on me like that.
Jessica, this might be your best blog post yet. I love it. So inspirational. And I think I will keep this challenge in mind whenever I talk or write about films.
Corey Atad
Thank you so much for your kind words Corey! It means a lot to me. I'll keep them in mind when blogging feels tough.
Another jawesome article, Jessica. On my own blog I've avoided writing about movies that are just those big spectacles. I watched Transformers: Dark of the Moon and the world doesn't need me telling it how bad that movie is. And I don't need to dedicate my time to it. However, for movies like Submarine or Midnight in Paris or even Rise of the Planet of the Apes, there's something special that needs to be pointed out. It's a little self-important of us to consider ourselves masters of film history, but it's also kind of true in a way. These writings will never disappear. They'll be around when our great-great-great-great grandchildren watch Drive on Ultra-Violet-Ray.
Thank you! To be honest I've been picking a bit on blockbuster movies such as Thor and X-men. But I think Sean has a point and I'm really trying to got that way as much as possible. I'll rather point out good movies than pick on bad ones. The thing is though that I currently want to write about every movie I watch because I've got such a horrible memeory for movies. I forget about them otherwise.
Sometimes I end up watching movies that aren't that good, for various reasons (often involving family…)
But I still want to write about them.
Nevertheless I think we should put our biggest effort into sharing discoveries.
Wow. What a great article you've written. And Sean's article too. Very precise and truthful. I cannot agree more with the statement about Hollywood generally being a recycling centre. So true. I stick to indie and foreign films these days. They make up about 80% of all the films I watch. And goddamnit, I'm proud to prefer foreign cinema to Hollywood. Screw Hollywood! They've done comparatively little of actual benefit to cinema than any other country, and yet they get so much undeserved attention. I admit that they're not wholly at fault, and they do produce a nice handful of decent movies each year, but they're few and far between and they're simply not enough to make up for the terrible trash they also continuously churn out each year.
Thank you Tyler!
To be fair: I'm a little hesitating about bashing Hollywood all over. What is the definition of a Hollywood movie? Is it that it's produced by companies within a certain area of LA? Where goes the line between a "Hollywood" movie and a general indie movie? There are movies produced in US outside of Hollywood, right? Maybe I should kow this, but this is all a blur to me. Still… I think I know what Sean is getting at, hence this post. Like Sean I think that blaming and accusations isn't the right way to go to get a change though. We need to keep giving attention to the good movies and never give up about it. And in the long run it will make a difference.
I'm not sure what is the definition of a Hollywood movie. But I remember that in the blogosphere of the game you refer to, comparisions were made between eating at McDonalds and eating at a fine restaurant, with mass culture/WoW(/Hollywood?) being implied as the McDonald's option. I have no idea where the line on "Hollywood" movie is, but I know it when I go seeing a "fastfood movie". It's those movies that are, when they work, entertainment in the most delicious, forgettable sense. To stay with the dietary metaphor, I think the problem isn't if people eat candy from time to time, but rather if that is all they eat? Although I personally have a guilty conscience for both my literal and metaphorical chocolate consumption 😉
*sips coffee* One more thing I'd like to say – owls remind me a little of librarians. And what a librarian do for you is partly to tell you about the good books – not always the new ones. One thing I love about a personal movie blog like yours is how it is a mix of current and older movies. A good librarian/curator/owl is a kind of collective memory. It gives a feeling of this vast world of possibilities, the (to me very encouraging) feel that I will not in my lifetime be able to read all the good books or see all the good movies, there are so many out there yet to enjoy.
Oh yes! Variation in the diet. I'm all for that. I consider my own taste fairly broad. I go to gourmet restaurants but sometimes I just need a burger and then I'll have that. It's the same with movies, as I hope is reflected in my blog.
I loved your description of the librarian's role. Yes, sadly enough life is too short for you to watch all you'd like to and I'm realizing more and more how hopeless this fight is. I'll have to trust on others and on my own intuition to make the best choices. Choices that consist both of chocolate and of delicious AND healthy meals. Based on my own taste rather than a result of falling for heavy marketing.
I disagree, there are a lot of good Hollywood movies besides indie or foreign gems. As such, a reviewer should watch both mainstream movies and indie gems. Case in point, seen Flipped this week by Rob Reiner which I thought was a lovely, Hollywood movie. On the other hand, I also saw Transformers Part 3 which had a script that had me laughing out loud at moments where it didn't expect a laugh (you're really telling me we went to the moon because there was an alien artifact there and you're your script 100% seriously?).
Now, I'll just tell people to watch Flipped as it's a lovely movie and to to expect a silly action movie of Transformers 3. And that's what reviewers are there to do: watch all kinds of movies and tell me which ones I have to watch. They watch the bad movies so I don't have to. Sometimes that's a blockbuster movie, sometimes it's a foreign movie. Putting all Hollywood movies in one, big heap is just elitist.
I have a hard time to pull the line between what is a Hollywood movie and what isn't. It's blurred to me to be honest. Just like Syrien I don't look down on movies – not on any movies, not on the commercially successful either. But the good indie ones perhaps need a bit of extra mentioning because otherwise people won't even know about their existense, which would be a pity. There's no risk for such a thing to happen for the movies that come with a huge marketing budget.
I share the philosophy Sean Hood has expressed in several posts. And actually elitist the last thing I'd call him. He if anyone – writing scripts like Conan for a living – has a very down-to-earth attitude, trying to educate those super elitist film buffs to get real about things.
I just don't have time to review all the movies I see. And so many movies I don't have a lot of comments to make. Frankly, I have no interest in crushing a movie with my keyboard that might be of interest to others. Sure, T3 may have had a lot of bad parts to it (I don't know, as I took my co-film reviewers advice and didn't watch it), but clearly it was entertaining to a LOT of people. More power to 'em.
I review films that are meaningful to me, or that I have something interesting to say about. Sometimes that's a foreign film, sometimes a Hollywood, whatever. The point is, to me, that us bloggers are also in the entertainment industry. We write to be read, and if we want to be read we need to say something interesting or unique or provocative. As film reviewers we need to remember that if anyone reads our posts, it isn't because they like us as much as they are interested in the film we are reviewing. Our entertainment is strictly derivative.
We should show a certain amount of respect for the film we are reviewing, because without them we have nothing of interest to write about, no audience– or at least a greatly reduced audience. We should show some respect to those who work hard in the industry that we depend on.
Steve Kimes
Very wise words Steve. I can only nod approvingly. I try to keep up, writing about all the movies I watch, but it's basically because I'm so much into writing that I can't shut up. Perpetual blogger…;)
I too think we should bare in mind that no one makes a bad movie deliberately. There are real people behind all movies and they deserve our respect. This doesn't take away that a real rant about a terribad movie can be quite an entertaining read from time to time. When it's really justified.
But for the most time it's better to talk about the movies we like and keep quiet about blockbusters that we don't like and that will get a big audience regardless of what we say.
Excellent post, Jessica, it has certainly got me thinking.
Whenever I see a new film, when writing it up I try to bear in mind that film, like art or music, is subjective. 'One man's meat is another man's poison' and all that.
While I do see the films that appeal to me the most at the cinema – they normally fall into the fantasy, adventure and action genres – I have over 300 films on my rental list, the majority of which I haven't seen before. If I enjoy it, or have a particular point to make about it, I'll write a review on it.
Claire Packer
Oh thank you. Sean's writings got me thinking and I'm just glad to spread the word.
I'm still stuck in the idea that I want to write a review of every movie I watch. Mostly of egotistical reasons, since I have such a crappy memory. I have this idea that if I write about the movies I watch I might remember them for a bit longer. But perhaps it would be better to just pass on the movies I don't like very much rather than rage about how bad they are. On the other hand rants about terribad movies CAN make for pretty fun reads. 😉
I know what you mean, Jessica. I use my blog as a way of cataloguing what I have seen – it's nice to keep track of what I saw at the cinema, for instance.
On my journalism course we were taught this about writing a review: have an opinion, and have a strong one. I haven't always stuck to that because sometimes a film is just 'okay'. When I write a review I do try to focus on one thing in particular.
Yes, the movies I have a strong opinion about are definitely easier and more inspiring to write about and they also makes for better reads. But unfortunately the distribution curve follows pretty much the same as everything else in life: the bulk isn't super good or super bad, just average. I wouldn't go as far as lying though just to get a better read.
I think a lot of people miss some awesome films because Hollywood's output is so all pervasive. That said, the film critic in me might be hard pressed to admit it, but often, friendly word of mouth is a much better advertising campaign than a multi-million dollar super-slick Hollywood one. Films that I've seen, and gone bonkers for, due to somebody recommending it, include Equilibrium, The Boondock Saints, and most recently, Attack The Block. All massively entertaining films in their own way, and yet completely devoid of mainstream advertising from the major players in Hollywood.
As a critic, I like to think I'm that friendly recommendation. Even if being a critic puts me at odds with the way good films are often found.
Nothing beats a good surprise discovery.
On the flip side, however, I think a lot of the "rubbish" put out by Hollywood (per se) is a lot like the Fast Food industry. I think of Hollywood as the McDonald's of the film industry: they put out lots of stuff with no nutritional value whatsoever, even though they often try and market it as such. So you can either choose to dine at the Hollywood restaurant, or find an alternative (like fine dining) and appreciate a good meal (film) without the paraphernalia of having to but the associated labelled lunchboxes.
Not everyone likes McDonalds, but they still make plenty of money…..
Rodney Twelftree
The good thing about blockbusters is when they make money for the theatres, which hopefully might mean that they also can afford to show some movies that attract smaller audiences. One branch can cover the losses of another. At least that's what I hope.

Republican presidential candidates faced off in their 12th debate Thursday night in what was billed as a more serious discussion. There's a lot at stake as they head toward several primaries next week. Marlie Hall reports from Miami.


Paul Herdsman is a Miami entrepreneur who co-founded a nearshore company based in Jamaica. He wrote an article stating that a lot of people want to be their own boss by starting a company. He encourages this mindset and in 2018 wrote an article sharing his "Top 12 Business Tips" of doing so. He learned these tips through personal experience and wanted to jumpstart other entrepreneurs who can learn from what he has found out.
The most critical thing when owning and operating your own company is to maintain a positive attitude. If you think positive you will be able to solve problems better, have more energy, and be able to power through when setbacks occur. Paul Herdsman wrote that an easy way to have a better attitude is to express your gratitude. This helps to get rid of negativity. Herdsman suggests creating a list every morning and evening where you write five things in your life you are grateful for.
According to Paul Herdsman, you have to be willing to take risks and fail if you're an entrepreneur. The only way to know if you really did have a great idea for a business is to try it. You do need to put together all the relevant information and assess the amount of risk you are taking, though. This allows you to take a calculated risk where you know what you're getting into.
Successful entrepreneurs such as Paul Herdsman have a vision about their company, and where they want it to go. Before you open your company, develop a clear idea of what it will look like a decade or so down the road. What are you trying to accomplish? What problem for your customers are you solving? What will prevent you from reaching the goals you have for your company? Find Additional Information Here.

Book Review: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1, by Alan Moore
Publisher: America's Best Comics
Book Review by Paul Weiss
THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, VOL 1 is a graphic novel. It is most assuredly not a comic book intended for children. Rather it is solid proof that mainstream comic books can be combined with exciting, imaginative adventure and story-telling, illustrated with serious, skilled artwork that merits close examination in each and every panel aimed at serious adult readers with eclectic tastes in classic literature. THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, VOL1 is at once a pastiche and a tribute to the skills of an extraordinary, lengthy and almost bewildering list of adventure, mystery and horror writers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Under order from the mysterious "M", the director of MI5, Britain's intelligence service, Campion Bond has recruited a team of adventurers and spies best known for their ability to get the job done in the face of daunting opposition and insurmountable obstacles. The team consists of Mina Murray, Allan Quatermain, Captain Nemo, Henry Jekyll, Edward Hyde and HG Well's invisible man, Hawley Griffin. Their task, as they understand it, is to locate and recover a container of the anti-gravity compound, Cavorite, before the nefarious Dr Fu Manchu can use it to launch an airship and attack the city of London. But, all is never as it seems, and as challenging as this assignment is, it represents only the beginning of the horrors and the difficulties that Mina Murray and her League of Extraordinary Gentlemen will face in their race to save Victorian London from devastating destruction.
Moore's borrowed cast of characters leaps off the page and into life under the skilled artistry of Kevin O'Neill. But alert readers will quickly discover that it doesn't end with this short list of main players and will delight in scavenging for even the most fleeting references to an almost endless list of literary luminaries - Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, Dorian Gray, James Moriarty and Sebastian Moran, Auguste Dupin, Selwyn Cavor, Jack the Ripper, Jack Harkaway, Ishmael, Samuel Ferguson, the Artful Dodger ... the list just goes on and on!
Be advised. Readers who consider themselves to be faint of heart should know that Kevin O'Neill has given himself full permission to display violence, fighting, bloodletting and death in the most graphic fashion. But this is far from a criticism, it is only a caution in the full understanding that some potential readers will simply not enjoy the degree to which O'Neill has visually let loose the free flow of blood and guts. Thankfully, I am not on that list and can say that I enjoyed every single word and every single illustration immensely. I'm only sorry to realize that there are only two volumes left in the series which I will be purchasing just as soon as I finish this review.

From the mag: Band of Brothers
by Steve Frothingham
Siblings bring family values to the North American Handmade Bicycle Show
DENVER, CO (BRAIN) — Exhibitors at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show like to talk about the "family" of artisan builders, and in some cases the familial relationship is literal. The show floor at the Colorado Convention Center included father-son partnerships and a few husbands and wives. It also included at least three pairs of brothers who are collaborating in various ways to make handcrafted bike products.
Hampsten Cycles: Steve and Andy Hampsten
Giro d'Italia winner Andy Hampsten has been marketing bikes under his name since soon after he retired, but the brand really got going in the last several years when his older brother Steve got involved.
Steve and Andy started racing together when they were teenagers in North Dakota, and while Andy went on to race as a pro, Steve eventually became a chef. A few years ago he tired of that and took up welding. Now he and industry veteran Max Kullaway (formerly of Merlin and Seven) produce lugged and TIG-welded steel and titanium frames in Seattle, Washington.
"There have been a series of small steps, and next thing you know, you've become a bicycle company," Steve said.
Andy Hampsten lives in Boulder, Colorado, and Italy, where he leads bike tours. Every year about a dozen of his bike tour participants become Hampsten bike owners, he said. The company sells about 60 frames a year.
"Steve does the heavy lifting," Andy said. "I do design and fits. I have got a lot of experience now fitting people—people who are beginners or intermediate road riders, or people who used to ride a lot but are still riding the bike they raced on 20 years ago."
The two brothers communicate by email almost every day.
"Steve sends hilarious emails," Andy said. "He wouldn't want me to be in the office next to him all day, but this situation is good for us. I'm the nice Hampsten and he is the funny one," he said.
Wheel Fanatyk: Ric and Jon Hjertberg
Ric and Jon Hjertberg founded the Wheelsmith bike shop in Palo Alto, California, in 1975 and later founded the Wheelsmith wheel and spoke brand.
Now Ric, who lives in Seattle, focuses on the Mad Fiber carbon wheel company, while Jon, who lives in Whitefish, Montana, is a furniture maker. The two collaborate on Wheel Fanatyk, which markets Ghisallo wooden rims and wheel-building tools and supplies.
At NAHBS, Wheel Fanatyk showed some beautiful handmade wooden wheel dishing tools and bike display stands that Jon made.
In their long history in the bike world, Ric has always been the out-front brother, who fields the media questions and gives philosophic wheel building lectures at trade shows.
"I'm kind of the hermit," Jon said. "I like to be in the background."
That dichotomy works out for the best, he said.
"If we were the same then we'd clash more. And that's hopefully what happens with any group in any company: People find out what they are good at and focus on that."
Ric said the two have "pretty similar attitudes and approaches to things."
"That helps," he added. "We don't have to spend a lot of time bringing each other up to speed about things. We had our clashes early on but we worked through those."
Alchemy Bicycle Co.: Sam and Matt Macuczak
Denver bike maker Alchemy Bicycle Co. features two brothers who work seamlessly together making custom carbon fiber frames.
Matt Macuczak is Alchemy's vice president of R&D and spends a good chunk of his day at the computer in a corner of Alchemy's new factory. Sam Macuczak, seven years younger, is the production floor manager, and spends most of his days with his hands on tools and frames.
The two grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Matt moved to Austin, Texas, where he joined Alchemy and then recruited Sam.
"I was doing all the R&D and it was a lot of work and I needed someone to fill in in production. After he graduated he came to Austin. It got him out of Cleveland and he showed a lot of skill," Matt said.
When Alchemy moved to Denver last year, the two brothers came along on the move.
"We work incredibly well together," Matt said. "We think in similar ways, we have the same drive, the same vision; it makes it a treat to work. I don't have to say things, explain how to do things. He just knows how to do it."
When the two aren't at the factory, they are often together riding bikes or hanging out.
"I see him most nights and weekends," Matt said.

Ad-Tech Company Shuts Down 'Zombie' Cookie
Embarrassing Moment For Verizon's Digital Ad Push
By Alex Kantrowitz and Mark Bergen. Published on January 16, 2015.

Verizon's foray into the digital ad business isn't going all that smoothly.
Turn, a partner in the carrier's mobile-tracking offering for advertisers, was cited in a series of critical media reports for using Verizon's technology tracking on consumers even after they'd cleared their cookies. After defending the practice, Turn abruptly reversed its position and suspended the practice which had been nicknamed the "zombie" cookie.
"Over the past 48 hours, there has been significant interest in a method Turn uses to deliver tailored advertising to mobile browsers," wrote Turn chief privacy officer Max Ochoa in a blog post. "We have heard the concerns and are actively re-evaluating this method."
Since 2012, Verizon has sold tracking tolls under its Precision Market Insights arm, placing a Unique Identifier Header (UIDH) on web traffic. Verizon expanded these to mobile behavior last May, with four ad tech companies, including Turn. Recently, the operation has faced criticism from privacy advocates for tracking users without consent and using UIDH. Wired ran an article online calling Verizon's "perma-cookie" a "privacy-killing machine."
The episode matters because identifiers like the perma-cookie are becoming more important for digital advertising to work today. Since the cookie doesn't work well on mobile devices, there are few good ways for advertisers to target effectively across screens. One way to do this is with login data, which companies like Facebook and MySpace possess. Another way is for carriers themselves to create some sort of tracker. For the moment at least, users have less control over what the carriers track than they do with traditional cookies, which can be cleared within a browser.
"The intent of the UIDH is to be used as part of our advertising programs, which have robust privacy protections, not as described in recent media reports," Debra Lewis, a Verizon spokeswoman, wrote in an email. "We are evaluating how third parties are using the UIDH in this evolving ecosystem and considering any appropriate response,"

...that travelling around Europe is easy? So if you want to combine tours in nearby regions, even if they are in different countries, you can.
There are very few limits as to which itineraries you can combine. In many areas, such as Tuscany and the Lakes in Italy, Catalonia and Andalucía in Spain, and Provence and the Dordogne in France, we offer several vacations – walking tours, biking trips, touring itineraries and city breaks – making these obvious choices to extend your vacation and thus give you a more in-depth view of the region.
However, you needn't be restricted to the same region – we are specialists in arranging European rail travel, meaning that we are usually able to arrange connecting travel between tours that are in different parts of the country.
What's more, you can even combine tours in different countries – for example, you could spend a week in south-west France followed by a week in Catalonia in north-east Spain, or combine a week in the Swiss Alps with a hike in northern Italy.
The possibilities are endless! Let us know which areas or tours you're interested in, and we'll be happy to suggest suitable combinations and the most convenient way of connecting them.

Q: Variables from AHK to Java Is it possible to transfer variables or integers from ahk to java? It might be possible to do using the cmd, which AHK commands can be exicuted using NativeCall, through the cmd, in java, explained here: http://youtu.be/EX0iT0NTTjw

A: You can execute the Ahk script from java using runtime.exec and read the stdout of Autohotkey process. Use http://l.autohotkey.net/docs/commands/FileAppend.htm for stdout.
You could also use things like OnMessage, a temporary file, the clipboard, etc.
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/OnMessage.htm

A: or you use onmessage or you append something to a file and read it in java.
i recommend using the fileappend command for beginners because it also lets you keep logs of the last thing happening where onmessage doesnt and you must watch out that you dont message something to the thing. most windows functionality is backed with messages like that so interrupting them would be a bad idea

Intergenerational Justice Prize 2016/17
Tuesday, 5. December 2017
'The Broken Generational Contract in Europe: Generous Transfers to the Elderly Population, Low Investments in Children' by Bernhard Hammer, Tanja Istenic and Lili Vargha won third place of the 2016/17 Demography Prize of the Foundation for the Rights of Future Generations!
The paper illustrates and quantifies intergenerational transfer flows in 16 EU countries using National Transfer Accounts data. In particular, it measures the agespecific value of transfers within households, including services produced by unpaid household work. These transfers play a central role in a society, but are hardly visible in official statistics. We elaborate the concept of a generational contract to show the interrelation between transfers to children and the transfers to the elderly population. Based on the transfer data, we develop and calculate a new measure of intergenerational balance of transfers. The results indicate that the patterns of intergenerational transfers are at odds with the generational contract. In most of the analyzed countries the transfers and investments in children are by far too low to finance the generous transfers to the elderly population in the future.
It will be published in IGJR Vol. 12 (1/2018).

Home Blog Oh How Stories Can Inspire: Using Narrative to Champion Healthy Food Access
Oh How Stories Can Inspire: Using Narrative to Champion Healthy Food Access
Niisoja Torto June 24, 2021 Emerson, Policy
Above: Niisoja Torto, 27th Class Emerson Fellow.
In college, I organized a trip with some of my classmates to New Orleans. No, sadly, it wasn't for Mardi Gras. We were there to learn firsthand about topics ranging from local environmental justice initiatives to the legacy of Hurricane Katrina. Along the way, we landed at Langston Hughes Academy, an elementary school whose signature Edible Schoolyard New Orleans program elevates food and nutrition education as one of the school's academic priorities.
From the flourishing garden by the playground to the resident pig that probably weighed as much as me, the school's unique setup piqued my curiosity. I listened closely as teachers described the impact of the school's food education curriculum on students and families in the community. Their personal anecdotes about students that had started gardens at home or families choosing healthier options when they were able resonated with me.
I couldn't help but think about how each story connected to the broader context: what did those stories say about the potential benefits of improving food education in schools nationally? How different would my experience with healthy foods have been had I received robust food education lessons in school? When I left New Orleans, I wouldn't have suspected that, two years later, I'd be connecting stories about the effects of food education in school to its broader implications as an Emerson National Hunger Fellow working with FoodCorps' policy team.
FoodCorps and its AmeriCorps service members connect kids in schools to healthy foods by conducting hands-on food education, promoting healthy school meals, and inspiring a school-wide culture of health. Its policy team works to leverage the lessons from the on-the-ground experiences of service members to catalyze change that benefits children and communities across the country. It's this charge that inspires much of my work on the team today to make the case for including food education in our nation's schools and how it fits into broader farm to school policy.
If I could make the case for farm to school initiatives to you in two sentences, I'd say: they benefit farmers by opening up new market opportunities; children by exposing them to healthier and fresher foods; and communities by building local economies with local dollars. Food education—by building the excitement among kids to actually want and eat local, healthy foods—is key to making farm to school initiatives work.
Did I convince you? Well, when I first heard the idea pitched to me, I understood it in principle, but I wouldn't say it was awe-inspiring. It was after I started interviewing people on the ground in rural northern Michigan—people like Chef Nathan Bates of Boyne Falls Public Schools—and hearing stories about their experiences with farm to school initiatives and food education that I really became excited about it.
I think of a story Chef Nathan told me about a farmer who described families coming to the farmers' market asking for really specific microgreens, only to find out that it was because their kids had tried them for the first time at school and wouldn't stop talking about them. Or I think about the way service members in northern Michigan turned a local farm's donation of goat cheese into a conversation about local foods and about how trying unfamiliar foods can make us anxious—the effect of which was a class full of students eager to try their first ever goat cheese by the end of the lesson.
Hearing from service members, community partners, and Chef Nathan, I really began to see how food education, farm to school initiatives, healthy school meals, and more all fit together, and, more importantly, why they are meaningful for real people.
The experience of gleaning stories from people on the ground and connecting them to the policy context through writing and presentations with my placement at FoodCorps has reminded me about the power of stories. Not only do firsthand experiences add nuance to our understanding of issues, but they also help us understand impact in a different, more personal way.
So now, if you give me just two sentences to make the case for food education and farm to school, maybe I'll give you the cut and dried answer I gave above. But, if you have more time, I'll tell you about Chef Nathan or our FoodCorps service members in Michigan, adding some statistics for good measure along the way. It's the power of stories like theirs that excites me about the prospect of my future career in medicine—a career that will afford me that same opportunity to hear people's stories and amplify them in important policy conversations.
Until the next story!
See this story to learn more about how Chef Nathan, community partners and FoodCorps service members are connecting kids in Michigan to healthy food.

Over 60% of my current tenants commute to Sydney for work. Whilst it can make for early starts & late finishes, the majority that I have spoken to say it's worth it for the lifestyle & affordability. Here's an idea: rent in Gosford for 6months to see how you like it, we'd love to have you!
Hi Krita have you read the suburb reviews, there are responses to commute from Gosford.
"An alarming fact is that the Central Coast is one of the most violent areas in NSW according to the NSW Attorney Generals Office.
However, I still call the coast home and have lived here on and off for over 35 years, with my wife being born here.
From the outside, the CC has a holiday atmosphere and carefree nature compared to Sydney and your experience will depend on the time of day, day of the week and your reason for visiting.
However several factors should be considered before taking the step to move here and I hope to provide a candid and unbiased opinion.
The CC is one of the most unique places along the eastern seaboard. That's why it is such a popular place to live, however the lifestyle you are after will largely depend on whether you have to commute for a living and as most of us do, living on the coast will have it's drawbacks.
RETIRING TO THE COAST: As I have had no experience in this age bracket (yet), I will not comment.
If commuting by train, you will have to use your car to get to a station as buses are very limited and infrequent. Parking at the station will require you getting there early as there are limited spaces, so a walk/run is usually required. A pain when it's raining.
You will find the trains over crowed and depending where you get on, you will have to stand all the way there and back.Your day will start at 5.00am and finish at 7.00pm and you will find working on the train journey will be impossible.
Allow 4 hours a day door to door if travelling to Strathfield/Sydney.
Again, depending on where you are will depend on the travel time to get onto the freeway.
and getting onto the F3 at Kariong can be frustrating.
I live at Terrigal and at 5.30am it takes 20 mins to reach the F3, then another 30 mins to Wahroongah.
Same for the way home except the downhill run into West Gosford and beyond is a nightmare.
Once on the F3, you can settle into a good rhythm providing it is not raining as this adds another element of danger and if there is an accident, make sure you have provisions as you may be there all day or night if coming home.
Fuel cost as time of writing is $120 per week plus significant wear and tear on your vehicle and in addition to high servicing costs, resale values of high mileage vehicles will not do you any favours. Allow up to 4 hrs per day especially towards the end of the week.
In addition, fuel pricing is very high compared to Sydney, to the point where a certain service station at West Gosford had the highest price fuel anywhere in NSW for that weekend."

Q: join in update command in trigger I have 3 tables, tbl_image, tbl_vehicle_image and tbl_vehicle
tbl_vehicle_image resolves a many-many relationship between tbl_image and tbl_vehicle
tbl_vehicle has a last_modified_date
How do I create a trigger that, when I change for example tbl_image.img_lnk, uses tbl_vehicle_image to find all records in tbl_vehicle that use that image, and set their last_modified_date to NOW()?

A: CREATE TRIGGER `trig_after_image_update` AFTER UPDATE ON `tbl_image`
 FOR EACH ROW
    if old.img_lnk<>NEW.img_lnk
    then
        update tbl_vehicle  set last_modified_date=NOW() where id in (select vehicle_id from tbl_vehicle_image where image_id=OLD.id);
    end if;

I don't have all field name of your table so change those. I have used id as primary key for corresponding table.

A: You can do this:
DELIMITER $$;

create TRIGGER UpdateLastmodifiedDate AFTER UPDATE ON tbl_image
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
   UPDATE tbl_vehicle v
   INNER JOIN tbl_vehicle_image vi ON v.vehicleId = vi.vehicleID
   INNER JOIN tbl_image i ON vi.imageid = i.id
   SET v.lastmodified_date = NOW()
   WHERE i.img_lnk = NEW.img_lnk;
END$$
