San Francisco Giants
Start of a lifetime for Giants' Peavy
Giants right-hander Jake Peavy sat down in the interview room at Kauffman Stadium on Monday flanked by two impromptu guests, his sons Wyatt and Judson, who had been allowed to make the trip from San Francisco to Kansas City to see the end of the World Series.
"I haven't done any of my homework," one said.
"You most certainly have," his father replied.
But the elder Peavy, admittedly, is excited too. He gets the start tonight against the Royals with a chance to pitch the Giants, who lead the series 3-2, to a World Series title.
"At the end of the day, this is the start that you play your whole career for," Peavy said. "It's hard to get away from that fact."
Peavy won a ring last year with the Boston Red Sox, but he made just one appearance in that six-game World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals and was knocked out of his Game 3 start in the fifth inning, getting a no-decision.
Peavy took the loss in Game 2 of this series, allowing four runs on six hits in five innings in the Royals' 7-2 win. Most of the damage came in a five-run sixth inning after Peavy had exited the game, and he said he felt he'd actually settled in around the third inning after struggling to find his fastball and cutter command early on.
He attributed that partly to an extended break between starts, something that will be less of a factor on Tuesday with Peavy pitching on five days' rest.
"You can get out there and feel a lot stronger; your arm feels better than it has in quite some time because of extra rest. Sometimes that can lead to not being quite as sharp," Peavy said. "I felt too good simply because of the rest I was able to get."
Still, Peavy has yet to complete six innings in any of his eight career postseason starts. And after Madison Bumgarner's complete game in the Giants' 5-0 win in Game 5, and an off day for travel Monday, manager Bruce Bochy said the Giants have plenty of options should Peavy falter early.
"Hopefully that's not the case, but the bullpen is well-rested," Bochy said. "(Yusmeiro) Petit, Timmy (Lincecum), they're all fresh, ready to go. ... Then you get to this point where if you need to use (Ryan Vogelsong) or something, he could help you out."
Bochy has shown a willingness to manage aggressively in a potential clinch scenario before. In Game 6 of the 2010 National League Championship Series, he took starter Jonathan Sanchez out after two innings and used five more pitchers to close out a 3-2 win, including starters Lincecum and Bumgarner.
Bumgarner threw 117 pitches in his four-hit shutout Sunday. But afterward, he said he planned to make himself available in relief for the rest of the series, and Bochy didn't even rule Bumgarner out of a short appearance in Game 6.
"He really bounces back well," Bochy said. "We wouldn't ask him to do a lot, but if I needed to get an out or something, I'm sure he'll say he's available."
Peavy could nullify all that with a long outing. He admitted Monday he "can't imagine anything sweeter" than to be the winning pitcher in the clinching game of the World Series.
After the Red Sox won their title in 2013, Peavy infamously bought one of Boston's signature duck boats. He was asked Monday if he might do something similar were the Giants to win the Series this year, and said he had "kicked around some options on some memorabilia possibly to take home to commemorate this, if we are fortunate enough to make it happen."
Wyatt Peavy then interjected: "I think we already picked out our trolley car."

Cinema Arts Centre
423 Park Avenue,
5 people favorited this theater
Physically, the Cinema Arts Centre occupies space carved out of a surplus school building; the entrance and interior architecture are fine within those very severe limitations. The town's senior citizens lunch program occupies adjacent space.
Culturally and politically, the cinema has been at or near the center of life on Long Island for all its thirty years. For the thousands of ageing hippies that haunt the highways and by-ways of Long Island's suburban sprawl, the cinema provides a desperately-needed focus and a sense of belonging. Its co-founders are an obsessed, driven, universally-beloved couple named Vic Skolnick and Charlotte Sky, who started out with a small projector and a bedsheet tacked to the wall of a food co-op, advising audiences to bring cushions to sit on. They've miraculously managed to turn their funky non-profit operation into a huge, slick, prestigious and even rather glamorous enterprise, with Isabella Rosselini hosting gala benefit parties, without losing any of their original sense of mission and community. While first-run films bring in income, the other screens (and videos) feature African film festivals, leftist documentaries, and off-beat experiments by unknowns. Their son Dylan runs a cinema-within-a-cinema with his long-running series of horror flicks, ensuring that aging Generation-Xers are also part of the clientele.
The New Community Cinema occupied two or three other locations before convincing the town to let them into the present school building. An unsoilicited million-dollar gift in 1990 allowed for renovation and expansion, at which point they started calling themselves the Cinema Arts Centre.

When I lived on LI and in Queens, I was a member of the cinema and would go all the time. I once braved a rainstorm to see a Tavarnier film. I drove in record time from Queens after a subway delay to see "Intolerance" on a weeknight. Every month they showed a silent film with live piano accompaniment (by a man named "Harry").
At the time, it was called the "New Community Cinema" and a dedicated crew of volunteers took tickets and sold brownies and herbal teas, among other concessions. My friends and I went regularly and we got to know some of the crew by name, most notably a woman named Joan Semon and her sister (was it Mary?). A friend of mine named Tom was the projectionist for a little while.
The first film I saw there was "Dance with a Stranger," and I went regularly after that. It was a 45-minute drive from my parent's house and even longer from Queens, but it was well worth it, since my friends didn't want to trek into NYC to see the same films.
Shortly before I moved to Manhattan, the folks there were actually receptive to my wanting to try to organize a "gay singles brunch." They had a singles brunch program but Joan said it was regularly one man and 40 women.
This place, the "New Community Cinema" when I lived on LI, should be one of the most highly praised theater venues in the NY area. Though the space was never luxurious, the films they showed were remarkable for their diversity. I miss this place so much since I moved out of the state.
Funny story:
I lived in New York City all of 14 months, before returning home to South Florida to start school. While in NYC, I devoured movies, seeing typically over a dozen a week. The only time I ever left the New York City area was to see Peter Greenaway's 'The Baby of Mâcon' at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington.
I took the LIRR to Huntington and then a cab to the CAC, which is part of a larger facility for senior citizens. I felt, at all times, as though I were a guest at a seniors' resort, but that was ok. My anticipation of seeing the Greenaway film upstaged any craving for atmosphere.
The print of the film, which was made in the early '90s and never released in the US, was imported from France and being shown in a theater with a capacity for maybe 70 people. It felt more like a meeting room than a cinema (there are other, larger auditoriums) and I had to ask if indeed the film was being shown on 35mm.
The film began. The movie, set in 17th century France, stars Julia Ormond as a wicked virgin who claims her mother's newborn infant as her own by virgin birth, chains her mother in the basement, and sells the baby's blessings. Through a nasty turn of events, Ormond's character is sentenced to die by the Church, but given that she's a virgin, the church cannot execute her. So, they first seek to devirginize her by having her raped by 113 men.
The audience with which I sat was 97% elderly. The only other guy, aside from me, under 60 had to tell an elderly couple behind me to "shut the fuck up" for talking during the feature. Miraculously, nobody walked out during this rather harrowing film depicting some depraved things. In fact, a good 20% of the audience fell asleep.
That's Cinema Arts Centre, in a nutshell.
The programming here, though, is absolutely excellent.
A very hip theater that has made its mark on longisland……..Never new it as anything other than New Community ….Thats what the local still call it…….Located in the old village green school in Huntington……….A must see for art film lovers………
I'm happy that this place is still around. I remember the "old days" when it was just a run down school auditorium. They do a good job with booking classics, neo-art films, and newly neglected ones (like David Lynch's "Inland Empire"). ______HOWEVER, I have a problem with their bookings of so called "Cinema of the Wild", and other "psychotronic" movies. Dylan (the owner's son; and a very pleasant fellow), tends to over-shoot and under-shoot his bookings. Often the "Wild" titles are movies you are all too familiar with ("Blue Velvet") or too-obscure Asian movies that, aren't that are not "wild" at all. A recent "grind house" summer film festival featured "Streets of Fire" and "Xanadu" (!?). I was baffled and disappointed.
…they should actually have a REAL grind house night with some "roughies" like "Olga's House of Shame" (a perfect example of a movie that EVERYONE has heard about—but few have actually seen it) or the Coffin Joe movies (from Brazil) that don't get seen very much at all. Oh yeah; they should let you smoke in the theater as well; just like the old days!——————————-
**So if anyone at Cinema Arts is reading this NOW, please send Dylan this link and a nudge. Do a little more exploring into rarely seen BUT often noted movies.

A new weekly feature from Lloyd Marcus…
Lloyd's Life Lessons: Reporting for Duty Lord.
This is a true story of divine appointment. Several years ago when my wife Mary and I lived in Maryland, we were on our way to dinner when we ran out of gas on the Baltimore beltway. This was before cell phones.
Dressed for dinner, I helped my high heeled wife scale a six foot fence into a community. It was after dark. We knocked on a door, hoping to use the phone. Amazingly, the husband of a young couple opened the door, believed our story and invited us in to use the phone. I called my dad to bring us gas.
Upon hanging up the phone, the obviously stressed couple shared that before being interrupted by our knock at their door, they were discussing whether or not to abort their baby. The timing of her pregnancy was financially awful! They had one child. A second would send their teetering on financial disaster situation over the edge.
Mary and I assured the conflicted couple that God had everything under control. "Trust Him and have your baby." My dad arrived. Mary and I thanked the couple for their hospitality and were on our way.
Our car started after putting in the gas dad brought. As I drove, I said to Mary, "What was that about? It was weird on so many levels". First, this young couple allowed a strange couple into their home. Then, they included us into a very personal discussion.
Years later, I accompanied an elderly neighbor seeking to purchase a car to a Used Car dealership.
While a salesman was showing my elderly friend a car, the owner approached me. "Sir, you probably do not remember me." He went on to explain that he and his wife struggled with the decision whether or not to abort their baby. They had the child and love him dearly. He thanked me for Mary and my counsel.
I remember a song from my childhood we use to sing in my preacher dad's storefront church titled, "I'm A Soldier in the Army of the Lord".
As Christian soldiers and humble servants, we embrace our Commander in Chief interrupting our routine, redirecting our path to fulfill "side missions" for His purpose. Over the years, Mary and I have learned to trust God and not-go-negative when things appear to go wrong. We say, "Okay Lord, we do not know what this is about. But, we praise and trust You."

His sound: High volume chaos, sound and fury
For fans of: The Who, The Stooges, Ramones, Black Sabbath
Chris Hendrix is a boundary pusher, an experimenter. Over 27 years, he took '80s hardcore punk music in his band Gross National Product to weirder and more intricate levels. "I always described GNP's sound as like being underneath a runaway freight train, trying to sit up and being knocked back down by it, repeatedly and relentlessly," he says. "And every time it briefly slows down enough that you think you might be able to get out from under it, a red-hot chunk of metal comes bouncing along and bangs into you, sticking to you, getting under your skin, scorching and searing its way to your very core."
Over nearly three decades, GNP played punk-rock house parties, got kicked out of The Nick for almost seven years straight, and cycled through seven bassists. "GNP is notorious for the strong physical and physiological reactions we've caused in people—dizziness, vomiting, migraines, heart palpitations—and for scarring people's memories for good or ill," Hendrix says. "Whether it's a song's hook that never leaves your brain or the horrific way I may have been (barely) dressed at a show, I've always tried my best to make your experience of us unforgettable."
Since GNP split, Hendrix has played drums in "wicked, brutal, punishing" metal bands and continued writing words and music. An injury from a few years ago has kept him off stage, but it hasn't kept him from writing. "Whether love songs or hate songs, truths or fictions, funny or depressing, I'm just spooning up dollops of my heart, mind, soul, guts, blood, excretions, and pain," he says. "(It's) lots of pain—physical, mental, emotional, psychological. And it's all a part of me." His dream now is to teach his songs old and new to a new band. "(And I'll) then sit and happily beat drums and cymbals to death behind them 'til I die myself, preferably while doing so, and hopefully in front of an audience."

There were no injuries but the fire department did have to make some elevator rescues when the power went out. (Bettina Hansen / The Seattle Times) A 26,000-volt underground feeder line that carries power between neighbors failed at John Street and Yale Avenue Sunday evening, leaving 2,178 people without power. The failure caused a small explosion, which blew a manhole cover off the street and sent smoke wafting up near Seattle's flagship REI building about 7:15 p.m. Peter Clarke, spokesman for Seattle City Light, said there is no corresponding fire, that he's aware of, though several Seattle Fire engines responded. The fire department later posted on Twitter that they responded to several reports of people being trapped in elevators in the area. Clarke said City Light would re-route electricity and begin restoring power to some in the neighborhood before 9 p.m., but that it could take until 2 a.m. before everyone's power is back. "It's going to be hot down there, so it'll take some time to see how much damage there is," he said. Comments | Topics: fire; power outage; electricity; Seattle

Step One: Reflect, reflect, reflect!
Reflect on your current style to figure out what's working and what's not. This past year, I definitely invested in more accessories but I could do better. I still want to add a more soft and refined element to my style as you can see from the pieces in my vision board.
Step Two: Summarize your goal.
Now that you have an idea of the direction you want to go in, think of a simple statement to summarize your goal. My mother always likes to tell me that I am not at school to participate in a fashion show (which is somewhat false) but to get an education. What better quote than "You can never be overdressed or overeducated" by Oscar Wilde?? This has always been my favorite quote and I even have it hanging in my dorm room. It's a constant reminder that one can be educated and slay at all times.
Step Three: Find the right words and images.
You should have some specifics in mind when creating your fashion vision board so you know what to look for and what to get rid of in your closet. I included a picture of Lupita N'yongo because her signature looks are built upon bold colors and clean lines and because she's absolutely fantabulous. I have also included the words "you" and "clean" because I want to have an overall look that is classic and loved by me. Always wear something because you like it, not because it is liked.
Step Four: Put it all together!
Here comes the fun part! I decided to make my vision board on the computer (you can use Photoshop, Gimp or Polyvore to achieve this) but feel free to pull out some magazines and poster board. The more personalized, the better! I had a great time making mine and I'm sure you will too.
So, what do you think? Make a vision board of your own and comment with the link! Happy 2016 my loves and Stay Profashional! xoxo

Several years ago, a project I was working on was in desperate need of a new website. Unfortunately we didn't have the funding to hire a web designer to do the job for us so I took the task on myself and learnt a new skill.
Using WordPress, I built a high functioning, responsive website which not only solved an immediate problem, but it also kick-started a new passion for WordPress and its almost-unlimited possibilities for web design.
Since then I have created websites for numerous clients, as well as developing their social media platforms, providing an effective web presence that helps to increase engagement with their customers. With my academic and career specialisation being in Digital Marketing, I can provide the best for my clients.

Do not sent or receive pictures of your private parts or anyon else's private parts. Don't laugh. Someday you will be tempted to do this despite your high intelligence. It is risky and could ruin your teenage/college/adult life. It is always a bad idea. Cyberspace is vast and more powerful than you.

First, an apology; my moan last week about the poor service we get from delivery companies was, with the benefit of hindsight, justified, if admittedly exacerbated by the intense frustration felt at this time of year when parcels go astray or are delayed.
I had included Royal Mail in my general gripe for the sin of losing a package at the giant Gatwick sorting office. It had arrived there on Dec 8 but as the days passed nothing more was heard of it and I was informed with only a few days to go before Christmas that it had, well, just vanished.
However, on Christmas Eve guess what? I got a telephone call from Royal Mail informing me that it had turned up and that it would be delivered about noon. It was – proving beyond peradventure that, in spite of a mountain of undelivered mail elsewhere in Scotland, for me at least Santa Claus lives! My thanks to all concerned.
All that's required now is for the person for whom it was intended to accept it in the spirit in which it was sent. But that's another story …
But that column produced a very interesting response from an entirely different quarter, one that sheds a light on just why deliveries seem to be such a hit and miss affair and one that also confirms many of our worst suspicions about some courier firms.
A lengthy and detailed email came my way this week from a "multi-drop delivery driver" – so as there are no repercussions, let's call him Jim. In it he took me severely to task for making no allowances for either the weather or the increased workload experienced by drivers at this time of year.
Jim doesn't tell me which firm he works for but informs me that he gets £7.38 an hour (not exactly a fortune) for driving a three-and-a-half ton, long-wheelbase van, which even in the recent bad weather ran on normal — not winter — tyres. To help him through the ice and snow he was given one small plastic shovel.
He and his fellow drivers were confined to base on the first day of heavy snow – Nov 29 – but since then he has worked six and, sometimes, seven, days a week making the astonishing average of 72 deliveries a day in and around Edinburgh and East Lothian. Here's what Jim says in his own words:
"I have run miles to get to houses, dug my wheels out on many occasions and made numerous phone calls to make arrangements to deliver. I have had to return 18 parcels because of adverse road conditions or being unable to get a neighbour to sign for the parcel."
And, in an addition that makes me feel especially small, Jim says: "I make the effort because it's my job and I am lucky I know my territory and all the difficult addresses."
But his most revealing piece of information as to why so many parcels were late is as follows: "At this time of year (full-time) employed drivers are greatly outnumbered by self-employed and agency drivers. It is difficult enough to do the job properly when you don't know the territory, let alone with (the) road conditions we have had …"
Jim reports that the parcel delivery industry has moved dramatically (his word, not mine) from full-time employed drivers to a situation where employed drivers are now in a minority, asking rhetorically: "The reason? Reducing fixed costs. The past four weeks have shown how fragile the low-cost model is."
He claims that to the past four weeks of snow and the usual Christmas upturn has been added increased internet and mail order demand this year – some of it caused by people not venturing out in the bad weather. These factors have made circumstances "exceptional" this year.
Jim claims that delivery charges, as currently levelled, represent "remarkable value", but in a gloomy prognosis he concludes: "Cut-throat competition in the industry has reduced its … competence (which was) based on experienced and motivated employees."
Make up your own mind, but Jim's information confirms my own suspicions about some delivery companies – that they are trying to do an important job on the cheap.

After the Oscars ceremony fiasco overshadowed the deserved victory of Moonlight, it became all the more relevant to investigate the rise of independent filmmakers in Hollywood's domination of mainstream cinema. The independent film directed by Barry Jenkins and its triumph illustrate the increasing popularity of non-mainstream content, or what is often referred to as 'indie' cinema. In order to understand the process leading up to the respect we attribute to film auteurs, I will be using filmmaker Wes Anderson as a case study. Simultaneously an independent and 'indie' filmmaker, his successful career illustrates just how much he has been able to transgress Hollywood filmmaking norms, but also how in some ways he meets the criteria of a Hollywood director.
When discussing filmmaking and 'indie' films, we must make the careful distinction between independent and 'indie' cinema. Media reception studies professor Janet Staiger defined independent film by the way those films were financed and distributed, in the sense that they were not affiliated with a major studio, such as Paramount Motion Pictures or Walt Disney Studios. As she understands it, 'an independent production firm was a small company with no corporate relationship to a distribution firm'. The confusion is frequently made that calling a film 'independent' implies that it possesses textual qualities of an 'indie' film. These textual qualities can be identified as a particular variety of emotional storylines, uncommon or unusual characters and aesthetically intricate settings – all contributing factors to what makes a filmmaker an auteur.
It is no secret that traditional filmmaking favours a pre-determined method that splits the narrative into three parts. The first, introduces the main protagonists and the goals they will attempt to achieve throughout the film. In the second part, the protagonist attempts to achieve goal, but will be stopped by an antagonist, ending this part with the 'low point'. The third and final part consists of the final dramatic conflict where the main protagonist fights to achieve their goal, either succeeding or failing horribly. This method has persisted as it is what seems to "sell", which makes producers hesitant to stray from the formula. 'Indie' film tends to be more playful and creative, unlike the mindless succession of events that occur in traditional film.
This is one of the main ways Anderson transgresses classical Hollywood filmmaking norms, as he always breaks up his films into episodic chapters that necessitates the viewer to make connections that they typically wouldn't with a mainstream Hollywood film. Made to be widely and easily consumed by a large mass, a great deal of Hollywood films and other products of the entertainment industry are stillborn and easily forgotten. Their formula installs within the audience unconscious automatic expectations for a clear linear progression of events with some heated fights, amusing jokes, romantic interests, or stereotypically the rise and fall and rise again of the main character, overcoming fears and facing their problems. Wes Anderson doesn't follow this formula, instead creating complex, fast-paced stories that revolve around an atypically detailed plot. For example, his latest film The Grand Budapest Hotel has a cast of thirty roles that each add to the narrative, twelve of which were already well-established actors, such as Ralph Fiennes or Léa Seydoux.
The core cast group of amateur actors he began with are now equally mainstream, especially when considering The Grand Budapest Hotel's cast, as much of the marketing centred on the long selection of eminent actors. Before this, with the exception of Fantastic Mr. Fox using the voices of already renowned actors George Clooney and Meryl Streep, Anderson's film cast were positively 'indie'. Since The Grand Budapest Hotel, Anderson fans will have an expectation for notorious actors in his films, resembling Hollywood directors dependable safety net of basing much of their film's marketing on the weight of the actors' names in the industry.
Where most traditional Hollywood productions are focussed on appealing to a particular demographic such as the Twilight Saga (2008-2012) that had a mainly female teenage audience, Anderson's following consists of a wide array of demographics. Particularly his films Moonrise Kingdom of which the main protagonists are children, and Fantastic Mr. Fox that is based on Roald Dahl's children's book of the same title. The relationship between the two children in Moonrise Kingdom is of a surprising maturity, as they both understand the adult world around them and have an uncharacteristic cynicism about them that is gripping whether the viewers are children, teenagers or adults.
Concerning Fantastic Mr. Fox, children will most probably enjoy the different style of animation to what else is on the market, as the detail and work that has so blatantly gone into the creation of this stop-motion feature is all the more appreciable by adults. Anderson's talent for scriptwriting is also a major key to the positive reception of a story intended for children, with popular culture author and expert Bob Batchelor asserting that 'Anderson excels at pulling together the threads of what transforms a film into an object of cult affection. [..] as a writer/director, he creates a narrative that appeals to the audience's intelligence and aesthetic sensibility.'
Prior to The Grand Budapest Hotel, Anderson's films marketing process was what is considered as independent. Hollywood films tend to have large funds with an equally large marketing budget to match. Going through 'Indiewood' studios, such as Sony Pictures for Bottle Rocket in 1996 or Fox Searchlight Pictures for The Darjeeling Limited in 2007, the funds supplied for his films were a direct result of the uncertainty of the 'indie' content. With no reassuring backing on best-selling novels, major film studios would not feel comfortable spending copious amounts of money on the marketing of an already low-budget movie. Film critic Dwight Macdonald noted that scholars of the Frankfurt School Adorno and Horkheimer pinpointed the reason Hollywood was dying lay in the fact that 'The machine rotates on the same spot. While determining consumption it excludes the untried as a risk. The movie-makers distrust any manuscript which is not reassuringly backed by a best-seller'.
This explains the foundations of 'Indiewood', which is in fact an amalgam of the acquisitions of arthouse studios by Hollywood conglomerates, as a profitable plan in sight of taking over the independent film industry and consequently creating independent studios of their own. The one film so far of his that was distributed by a major film studio was Fantastic Mr. Fox in 2009. Destined to be a stop-motion picture, the budget required was quite large compared to his other creations, due to the amount of detail and work that goes into stop-motion productions.
Since Anderson has increased his following and audience, he has gained a more mainstream status as a director. For The Grand Budapest Hotel, his already-established 'world' of ornately detailed settings and elaborate dialogue and accumulated consecutive box office success was enough to justify the film's distributor Fox Searchlight, owned by conglomerate 21st Century Fox to advertise the film a great deal more than Anderson's older films. In addition to this, The Grand Budapest Hotel generated a significant level of fascination and desire to acquire the memorabilia of this world created by Anderson, such as copies of The Society of the Crossed Keys, a selection of Stefan Zweig's writings which inspired the film.
The key narrative in most Hollywood film is the protagonist's attempt of achieving various goals, most commonly being finding love, becoming rich, or saving the world. It is impossible to find one film by Wes Anderson that copies that particular formula of pursuit of happiness. Anderson's characters seem to roam around in their own unique world of complex problems and unusual scenarios, often involving disappearances, theft, and dysfunctional families. Whilst Fantastic Mr Fox is perhaps the most simplistic of Anderson's films, Fatherhood is the main theme. It explores how it is only after becoming middle-aged that the character of Mr. Fox only begins to appreciate his role as a father to Ash, now a teenager, along with some life-changing realisations that his actions have an effect on the well-being and security of his family. With a more specific attention to a dysfunctional family dynamic, The Darjeeling Limited follows three brothers who rekindle their relationship ensuing the death of their father. Moonrise Kingdom features Billy Murray as an emotionally detached father figure who realises how much he cares about his daughter when she goes missing.
As a part of Hollywood's formula for films, an almost consistent element is the often-unnecessary sexualisation of women's and men's relationships, which Anderson diverges from in Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel especially. The rare times romance is seen during his films is face paced and adds to the building of the character. Moonrise Kingdom features a scene of both children on the beach where actress Kara Hayward has few clothes on but it comes across as completely non-sexual. The relationship between Zero the lobby boy and Agatha the patisserie maker in The Grand Budapest Hotel is also portrayed from a purely sentimental angle. Traditional Hollywood film has installed within the audience an instinctive anticipation for the protagonist to have a romantic pursuit or a general goal of happiness, to the extent that it is often forced into a narrative that does nothing to further the plot. Anderson avoids this by concentrating on family dynamics more than romantic ones, or even exclusively in The Darjeeling limited for example.
On a more technical note, Anderson is known for his unconventional camera-work, with every shot seeming to silently add meaning to the narrative. In this respect, Hollywood editing is relatively predictable, an amount of footage often feeling redundant. This is ironic as Major production studios encourage films to avoid what they consider as unnecessary detail that detracts from the main point of the scene. Often, the result is that the film is more inclined to be forgotten due to its soporific production for the masses. Once again Anderson is the opposite. As has been stated previously, each plot device and shot is purposeful with no time to waste on such needless endeavours. Not having the budget to spend on special effects, Anderson takes care to avoid artificial, computer-generated effects and prefers to make use of practical effects to create a realistic, believable world, in order to fully immerse his audience. Furthermore, he takes more risks than the average director with some trademarks of his being stationary pans where the camera moves from left-to-right between two people, drastic zooms, and a great deal of non-diegetic sound, or sound that doesn't belong in the character's world. These elements add a vintage aspect reminiscent to the sixties era of New Hollywood. The patterns of the progression of his stories may be the same, however the content of each is extremely diverse and unique strengthening his status as an auteur.
Any director that has found mainstream success will struggle to remain a purely independent auteur. Initially 'indie' films were an unpopular genre, Anderson lacked the cult following that he has today allowing his creations to stand out as unusual, or even experimental. As this type of film became a trend, the last decade has seen 'indie' films develop a following significant enough to attract big studios and Hollywood conglomerates. Anderson has remained loyal to his filmmaking roots and continues to control his creations, yet releasing his films through major distributors.
The greatest benefit Hollywood permits for 'indie' directors is the distribution upon a far larger audience that was previously possible. This, in essence, is the reason Anderson's career has flourished.

Conducting a job search isn't what it used to be! Once limited to the little time it would take to pore over the classified ads, look over a local job board and perhaps talk to friends and friends of friends, a job search today is essentially a full-time job. The internet has made it possible to search for jobs the world over, researching not only companies but entire industries in hopes of finding the ideal situation.
Online job boards, sites like Craigslist, and company websites all offer information available when you conduct a job search. However, to borrow from an old saying, 'what the internet giveth, the internet can taketh away.' While the web may allow you to conduct research about potential jobs and employers, it enables potential employers to research you. Will Google/Bing/other search engines reveal any embarrassing or personal information about you that might persuade a potential employer not to hire you?
You're not sure, are you? Before you submit your next job application, then, we suggest you conduct your own "Online Image Audit" and clean up any dirt you may find there. How? Here's how:
1. Clean up after yourself.
- Examine your online presence on whatever social networking sites (SNS) you use. Are the privacy settings you're using really keeping your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+,and Pinterest accounts private or is it easy for someone to find you? Depending on how you use each SNS, you may want to keep certain ones private. Others you may want to be public. Adjust your privacy settings accordingly.
- First, remember that nothing you share on the internet is truly private and once it goes online, it remains there. Permanently. While you may trust those you share info with, you have no control over what they do with that information once they receive it.
- Audit your "friends." No, really. How well do you know those Facebook friends? It's risky to share personal information with people you don't really know. Use the "unfriend" function judiciously. Trust us, you'll feel better. Facebook popularity is overrated.
- Take a hard look as whether the image you are conveying online is the image you want your professional contacts to see. The world's most professional LinkedIn page does you no good if your Facebook page has posts, photographic or otherwise, that call your judgment into question.
- Remember, the person hiring you likely does not share the same perspective you do about what is considered personal and what is considered business. A friend isn't hiring you, a stranger is. Assume it's a stranger with a very conservative worldview.
2. Nobody's perfect.
- Accept the fact that your online image is not completely within your control. If you find a Twitter feed or Facebook post that doesn't flatter you, take a deep breath and know that it happens to everyone.
3. Don't be a tool-use them instead.
- There are many tools available that allow you to monitor cyberspace for UFOs (unflattering or false opinions). Google Alerts, TweetBeep, Kurrently.com, search.twitter.com and Boardreader all enable you to track online conversations about the keywords you choose (like your name) for rapid response.
4. Brand yourself.
- Your current online persona dictates the results people find when searching your name. Send those search results further down the page by creating your own online content that is consistent with the personal brand you want to convey. Blog about what interests you. Update your LinkedIn page. Comment on industry or company websites. Write. Write often and do so with an eye not only to burying the bad info but by enhancing your reputation as a go-to person for info. Do these things and search results will find what you actively create, rather than what has already been passively produced.
When you conduct an online job search, the employer also searches you. Are you comfortable with what they'll find?
Conducting an online job search requires a strong online presence. Improve your online personal brand with this list of tips from the experts. Download the PDF now.

Cop skirts thin blue line in 'Street Kings'
Street Kings: Crime thriller. Starring Keanu Reeves and Forest Whitaker. Directed by David Ayer. (R. 107 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
There's a lot to appreciate in "Street Kings," a tight, propulsive action thriller, but there's one thing to marvel at, and that's James Ellroy's command of story. The best-selling crime novelist co-wrote the movie's screenplay, but he wrote the story all by himself, and it really is a thing of beauty. It's satisfying and consistently surprising, and yet those surprises are always appropriate and right, and the directions Ellroy chooses are invariably better and wiser than anything anybody might have guessed.
To give an example of the kind of thing Ellroy does, he will introduce a plot element that you think will take the whole movie to resolve - and then he'll resolve it in some unexpected way in the very next scene. It's as if he's watching the movie, too, and knows what the audience wants (so he provides it immediately) and what the audience expects (so he does the opposite). It's safe to say that there isn't a major scene in "Street Kings" in which Ellroy doesn't figure out a way to do something that breaks the pattern.
Keanu Reeves is at the center of the movie, playing a tough cop on a hair trigger, and while Reeves has never seemed the hair-trigger type, he finds a way to make the role work for him. It helps that at 43, he has lost his doe-eyed, innocent look. Reeves helps himself further by not trying to be a hard case but rather by playing the detective as reserved and contained. After a while, this combination of a reserved exterior and violent behavior conveys the idea of a guy who's dangerous because he's reserved; he's so bottled up, he's about to explode.
The opening sequence throws us right into this man's world. He lives alone. He wakes up and immediately throws up - a wordless commentary on his life. He buys little bottles of vodka, the kind found in hotel mini-bars, and downs them when he's driving. Yet when he's thrown into a situation of mortal danger, he suddenly becomes the consummate professional. That's when he comes alive.
Tom (Reeves) is the star of an elite detective unit, a band of brothers headed by a captain played by Forest Whitaker. Reeves' successful performance in "Street Kings" is a fairly straightforward affair, the product of adopting a simple strategy and sticking to it. Whitaker's performance is more complicated, the result of meticulous planning combined with brilliant, in-the-moment inspiration.
The captain is a big brother and a lovable fellow, a fundamentally simple person, but one who has seen so much of the dark side that he really can't be simple anymore. The action of "Street Kings" involves Tom going around to the various armpits of Los Angeles, investigating the murder of a fellow officer - even as Internal Affairs, in the person of a sly captain (Hugh Laurie), suspects that maybe Tom himself might have been behind the cop's death.
As such, the story has echoes of the old Hitchcock number, in which a wrongly accused man looks for the real culprits, though with Ellroy telling the story, the plot has so many bells and whistles that you'd never recognize it. David Ayer, who directed, is best known as a screenwriter ("Training Day"), but he had no hand in the screenplay.
In "Street Kings" he shows he can present urban squalor with the best of them, but more important than that, he films the action in a refreshingly unflashy way, standing back so we can see it, letting the moments of conflict speak for themselves without shaking the camera to suggest panic. He doesn't try to announce himself as a director. He just tells the story, briskly and economically. He keeps it moving and packs a lot into 107 minutes. A more ostentatious director would have found a way to stretch things to two hours, minimum. Ayer just serves the story, and the audience.
At the screening I attended, the crowd got a big kick out of famous faces turning up in featured roles. Of particular note is Cedric the Entertainer, who makes a case for himself in a dramatic role, as a small-time drug dealer.
-- Advisory: Strong violence and adult language.

Life Changes/
It's been almost two weeks since my son was born. Since then, I've barely had sleep, worked a few days, and had seven migraines in just over a week. Among all this, I've also hit 500 pages on The Faithful.
Now that I've hit that mark, I'm looking back at the last sixty pages of the novel, trying to remember where everyone had landed before some of the bigger events happened. Going back through, I've found that most of my characters ended up doing odd things that aren't in their character so that I can get them to another place. Every time this has happened, I get stuck and have to force out the words to clean up and solve these issues. Honestly, I've been stuck for over a month around page 497, unable to force out those few extra pages for some reason, despite having the scene entirely played out in my head.
Regardless to say, I have a good amount of stuff to rewrite, to fix. All this between changing diapers, feeding my son, making sure he's warm in a frigid house, and cleaning. The migraines don't help either.
I recently saw my doctor, who tried to give me advice on getting Graham on a sleep schedule to help with my migraines, but as soon as I told him he'd spent a week in the NICU, he threw all that out the window, told me I'd have to suffer, and scheduled our next appointment in three months. A lot of help, let me tell you.
For the moment, I'm going to write while I can, despite the migraine pressing behind my eyes.

PhD PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
With the local support of evoline, the Rail Automation business unit of Siemens is offering four full scholarships to complete a three-year-doctorate conducted in the premises of UNIVERSITATEA TECHNICA (UT) and UNIVERSITATEA BABES-BOLYAI (UBB) of Cluj Napoca, starting with autumn 2013.
The PhD program has two main objectives: on one hand to contribute to the scientific and economic development of the region, on the other hand to raise the educational competitiveness of the technology faculties of universities in Cluj Napoca.
Beside the doctorate scholarships, the Siemens program is supporting those local professors, too, who will guide the studies. In this way, the acquired knowledge during the researches will remain in the intellectual ownership of the universities.
The doctorate theses are offered in the fields of Computer Science and Automation. The research topics provided by Siemens are in line with the challenges of the industry and they try to find solutions for them.
Proposals for the Automation and IT Faculty of the UT:
In today's safety-critical software, e.g. railway automation, one of the main challenges is represented by the integration of different tablets and low-budget drones. Safety, reliability and maintenance are all quality related and non-functional requirements which are essential in integrating these devices into pre-existing safety-critical systems (solutions).
- Integration of tablets in the pre-existing safety-critical systems – architecture, solutions using SaaS; certification concepts.
- Integration of drones in the pre-existing safety-critical systems – architecture, solutions using SaaS; certification concepts.
Proposals for the Mathematics and Computer Science Faculty of the UBB:
Code writing and verification are two main phases of today's software development life cycle which are imposing challenges in reliability and economical aspects as well.
Modeling activities, with their formal and semi-formal methods, represent potential answer to these challenges.
- Model based software development
- Model based software validation
Applications can be submitted by graduates with a master's or similar academic degree in the fields of Information Technology, Automation or related domains.
For a three-year period, scholarship holders will receive competitive allocations, traveling expense allowances and some additional costs will be covered as well.
The PhD students will be able to work and research in an international environment and share their experience with other specialists involved in similar projects.

Former Juventus midfielder Marco Tardelli has backed Andrea Pirlo to impress in the Premier League as speculation over his future continues.
The 34-year-old is currently in the third and final year of his contract with the Bianconeri, with the club confirming that no talks will take place before the end of the January transfer window.
And Tardelli feels Pirlo should test himself against the more physical nature of English football before he reaches the end of his playing career.
"Andrea is special and always decisive," Tardelli told Tuttosport. "It is not only with his free kicks he is good, if he plays well the whole team improves.
"It's a complex and personal decision. That said, I would try Andrea in English football … Pirlo is quite famous in those parts."
When asked who would get his vote for the upcoming Fifa Ballon d'Or, Tardelli added: "Pirlo. But I think that Cristiano Ronaldo will win it."
Juventus face Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday as they search for their first victory in the competition this season following three draws and one defeat.
The Italian outfit can still reach the knockout stages with positive results in their final two games, and Tardelli has backed Fernando Llorente to step up after struggling for games during the early stages of his Juventus career.
He added: "My money is on Llorente as the decisive man. To be honest, at the beginning of the season I was among the sceptics.
"I didn't have doubts about the player himself, but his adaptability to Conte's game. But he's scoring and playing very well.
"He has the right characteristics to hurt the Danes. And above all, he seems to be in great shape."
One of Juventus' standout players this season has been Paul Pogba, with five goals from midfield already this season.
However, the youngster is yet to score in the Champions League - with Carlos Tevez without a goal in Europe in four years - but Tardelli is confident both can end their barren runs.
When queried on Pogba's record, Tardelli said: "It's a minor detail, we're talking about an important midfielder. He is playing fantastically, I hope he can score against Copenhagen.
"And the same goes for Tevez: the fact that he has not scored in Europe is a coincidence, I think."

Having lived and worked in France for seven year I have quite a collection of photos of the country. I even have more from family holidays when I was young but these all predate digital cameras and I haven't quite gotten everything online yet.
As I will be spending the next three months working in the Languedoc there are bound to be more here soon.
Want one of my photos on your wall?
I use the pixels.com to print my photos on top quality fine art materials.
All prints come with a 3o-day money back guarantee.

Virtual Iron's v4 platform
Virtual Iron v4 is beginning to close in on competitors VMware and Xensource.
IT reseller takeaway: VMware is currently the virtualization industry giant, but other vendors are starting to present it with some competition. Both Virtual Iron and Xensource present viable virtualization alternatives and their products may be better for certain customers. The tip, which was excerpted from our sister site SearchVirtualization.com, covers Virtual Iron new virtualization platform, Iron v4.
Virtual Iron Software Inc. of Lowell, Mass., has upped the revision number of its eponymous virtualization platform to version 4. The latest version builds on the 64-bit Xen 3.1 open source code from XenSource Inc.., integrating support for Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 kernel and drivers, offering a new management console, and adding new physical-to-virtual (P2V) and virtual-to-virtual (V2V) migration capabilities.
As far as new features in Virtual Iron, Grandinetti cited the integration of Novell SLES 10 as particularly important. With it, Virtual Iron now uses the SLES kernel and drivers in its service console, or dom0 in Xen-speak. "What customers have been telling us is that they feel more comfortable if all the hardware in their infrastructure is certified and supported by a major vendor," he said. "People in IT departments really don't have a sense of humor about this; their jobs depend on it."Read the entire article.
