Joe Overstreet
Through May 5. Eric Firestone Gallery, 4 Great Jones Street, Suite 4, Manhattan; 917-324-3386, ericfirestonegallery.com.
The history of postwar American abstract painting remains a work in progress. We are barely beginning to understand its sheer multiplicity in terms of the artists' races and cultures and the works' physical character. New information arrives in regular and humbling batches.
The latest is Joe Overstreet's stunning exhibition "Innovation of Flight, Paintings 1967-1972" at Eric Firestone. With 20 rarely seen works, it covers a brief period when Mr. Overstreet's disavowal of painting's usual standards and practices was unfolding rapidly in several directions, alongside efforts by Sam Gilliam, Harmony Hammond, Alan Shields and Howardena Pindell, among others.
Of central importance was Mr. Overstreet's jettisoning of traditional stretcher bars, anchoring his work — to walls, ceilings, floors or a mix thereof — with thin rope, metal eyes and handsome knots. As the show's subtitle suggests, evoking lightness and levitation was clearly a goal; some paintings here seem ready for takeoff. Another goal: giving equal prominence to how he painted and what he painted on. Sources and inspirations seem to include Jackson Pollock, Jules Olitski, African textiles, American Indian symbols and things nautical.
All together, the pieces deviate wildly in technique, combining stain, hard-edge and shaped painting. Stretched taut, carefully draped or seemingly suspended, these structures evoke tents, gliders, banners and even spaceships and maps. But these suggestions are all tempered by Mr. Overstreet's brilliant use of color and process, and by beauty.
An early example that uses stretchers is "North Star" (1968), whose crackling bands of color involve both hard-edge and stain painting and whose rectangular shape is transgressed by numerous notches, as well as by two cutout squares, so that it resembles a large mask. "For Happiness" (1970) also combines multiple painting techniques; it has 13 ropes that jauntily tilt its surface back and forth in space, challenging understanding of the piece as a whole.
In contrast to this complexity, "Hoo Doo Mandala" and "Mandala" (both 1970) are relatively square and frontal, but also gently billowed and scalloped by their anchoring ropes. Their radiant, asymmetrical geometries are reminiscent of everything from semaphore and hot-air balloons to tantric painting and the early Modernist works of the married artists Sonia Delaunay and Robert Delaunay.
In several works from 1972, Mr. Overstreet switches to an explosive, staccato drip technique, whose intimations of starry skies are regularly contradicted by dividing lines or added segments of canvas, leaving us suspended between deep space and eccentric objects. I look forward to seeing these exuberant, groundbreaking creations becoming standard in museums and new art histories. ROBERTA SMITH
Jared Bark
Through May 12. Yancey Richardson, 525 West 22nd Street, Manhattan; 646-230-9610, yanceyrichardson.com.
The ready-made, an industrially manufactured object repurposed as art, was popular in the 20th century. But could there be such a thing as ready-made photography? Jared Bark could be said to have found it in his "Photobooth Pieces" at Yancey Richardson. Mostly created between 1972 and 1975, these arrangements turn the strips of four photographs that were made in booth machines into artful grids.
Mr. Bark made his first work of this sort in Times Square in 1969. After that, he traveled around the country, asking people at Woolworth's drugstores to step inside the machines and pose. (He also acquired his own booth in 1972.) The resulting portrait grids, with their serial repetition of images, contain elements of Minimalism and Pop Art, as well as of the filmic realism of '70s auteur directors like Robert Altman.
The range of humanity on display here is also impressive — particularly when compared with that of similar projects, like Andy Warhol's photo booth works — as people of all ages and ethnicities appear in photos taken in, for instance, Phoenix or Provo, Utah.
In addition to inviting strangers to participate in his work, Mr. Bark often stepped inside the booth himself. Those results are more experimental, composed into abstract diamonds or squares, and with body parts photographed in rapid-fire succession, or a light bulb dangling alone in space.
A feeling of nostalgia and obsolescence pervades these pieces. Photo booths are nearly relics, now that almost everyone's phone has a camera. But Mr. Bark's works are like an ancestor of the selfie or the images on social media, with an endless view of photographed humanity scrolling by. MARTHA SCHWENDENER
Zoe Pettijohn Schade
Through May 6. Kai Matsumiya, 153½ Stanton Street, Manhattan; 617-678-4440, kaimatsumiya.com.
It took Zoe Pettijohn Schade as long as a year and a half to make each of the intricate large gouaches in "Shifting Sets," a show lining the walls of Kai Matsumiya's tidy Stanton Street gallery. Weirdly timeless meditations on death, they simultaneously evoke cutting-edge Photoshop effects and rococo wallpaper, with tiled and overlapping imagery that includes skulls from the Parisian catacombs; toy army men in marbleized silhouette; and delicate, color-graded pigeon feathers modeled on one blackening example the artist found in her garden.
What's most fascinating, though, isn't the pieces' nominal content so much as the seeming evanescence of the labor that went into them: If you lean in close, you can see every semi-opaque brush stroke in every pale gray feather, but from any greater distance, such small evidences of the artist's time and attention disappear in the overall dazzle.
The same kind of visual dynamic flickers across the whole of "Crowd of Crowds: 100th Monkey" (2017), which is covered in diagonal rows of grimacing, long-tailed primates. Because some of them are ghostly gray, and others mere silhouettes filled in with more feathers, skulls, or tombstones, it can take minutes of staring to notice just how simple the pattern is. WILL HEINRICH
'Clay Today'
Through May 6. The Hole, 312 Bowery, Manhattan; 212-466-1100, theholenyc.com.
Contemporary art has been experiencing a ceramics renaissance for several years now, though its full breadth remains underexplored by galleries and museums. "Clay Today," a new exhibition at the Hole, provides a welcome, if not rigorous, introduction to the utterly creative and clever ways that artists are using this material.
The exhibition opens with a showstopper near the entrance: Francesca DiMattio's "Boucherouite IV" (2017), a blue-and-white human-size figure of sorts, whose body is a technical marvel of zigzagging rows of clay fringe. Bulging with appendages, "Boucherouite" incorporates items like a flowered porcelain handle and a Delftware vessel. Traditional ceramics have not been completely abandoned, but rather overtaken by experimentation. This feeling is echoed in Trevor Baird's vases adorned with panels of comics, and in Rebecca Morgan's gorgeously goofy face jugs. Allison Schulnik's "Rutile Pink Unicorn Vessel" (2017) is a simple, oversize urn whose surface is teeming with miniature versions of the title creature.
In other places, clay looks a lot like something else, as in Diana Rojas's riff on a retail display of shoes. The most compelling of such works hang on the wall: Valerie Hegarty, Thomas Mailaender and Jesse Edwards have turned ceramics into imitations of paintings, photographs and TV sets, with the objects getting flatter as the illusionistic space deepens.
In the show's most exciting art, firm reference points slip away. Two pieces by Shinichi Sawada recall the ritual objects of a lost society. Heidi Lau's "Seventh and Eighth Level of Hell" (2018) evokes an alien, ominous world that incorporates elements of our own. And Roxanne Jackson's "Wild Mineral" (2017) suggests the sawed-in-half skull of a dangerous, mythical creature. These works, grouped along one wall, demonstrate what can happen when clay becomes a vessel for pure imagination. JILLIAN STEINHAUER

Tarvaris Jackson's undistinguished five years in Minnesota suggest that the new Seahawks QB is a temp in the pursuit of a replacement for Matt Hasselbeck.
When the offensive line starts two rookies, a second-year left tackle and a third-year center (combined 27 NFL starts), and a humble corps of receivers, experience and leadership at QB would seem to be mandatory to survive 2011.
Jackson has a big arm as well as the legs to run away from harm, but he's started 20 games in five years in Minnesota (10-10 record) to minimal swoonery that he is the next Donovan McNabb.
It would be easier for a Seahawks fan to talk himself or herself into believing in Jackson if the people who signed him Tuesday weren't the same ones who were convinced a year ago that Charlie Whitehurst was capable of beating out Hasselbeck…(as stated by Art Thiel of Sportspressnw.com)
So tomorrow is the big day! Seattle Seahawks retire number 8…With day 2 into the season, are we really prepared to enter practice, and even the 2011 season w/o Hasselbeck? Sure, he'll be 36 this September, a few bones broken, more muscles torn and spirit damaged by not securing a ring, but starting a quarterback who's only lead 20 games, is that a good idea?
We'll soon find out!!! All I know is that we need a WIN around here!!! So, bring it home fellas by any means necessary!!!

More than three-quarters of security professionals rate their organiations' commitment to risk-based security management as 'significant' or 'very significant'.
According to research of 571 UK and 749 US respondents by Tripwire and the Ponemon Institute, 77 per cent rated their organisations' commitment to risk-based security management so highly and 59 per cent cited risk-based security management as helping align security programs with business objectives.
However, 48 per cent said that their organisations' approach or strategy for risk-based security management was non-existent, while 51 per cent said that they do not have a risk-based security management program or most program activities have not been deployed.
Only 27 per cent have a security risk management strategy that is applied consistently across the enterprise.
Elizabeth Ireland, vice president of product marketing for Tripwire, said: "There's a big gap between risk-based security program commitment and how organisations are actually operating. This could be because many organisations haven't fully connected the importance of their cyber security program to their top-level business risks in spite of the rapid increase in cyber security threats."
Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute, said: "The findings from this report strongly indicate that risk-based security management is still viewed as an IT or security task instead of a business task. Unfortunately, the full value of a risk-based approach to security can only be realised when senior business leaders fully participate in the process."

Big Ten commissioners are taking the next 12-18 months to study expanding the league. Reading between the lines of that short piece, it almost sounds like a done deal. But which schools would join the conference? Any guesses? And how would the conferences they come from deal? Lots of questions.
well, i've heard that notre dame would leave the big east and go to the big 10, or 12. 🙂
and i think i heard that pitt would make the move to the expanded big 10.
Way to beast out that sleuthing, scull.
The Big Ten Network reportedly generates $22 mil per school in revenue. ND would broaden the network footprint to a national base, thus making every school more money. The other school getting interest is Texas. Texas presently generates $8-10 mil in TV revenues and they also would seriously expand the network broadcasting footprint. In both instances there is synergy by bringing new viewers, therefore new dollars to the Big Ten. Both schools also have pretty good academic reputations, so its not just about the money! LOL
So it's NOT just about the money? That's so beautiful if it's true.
adding texas makes absolutely no sense. look at the geographic locations of all the other teams…midwest and east. texas would mean lots of $$$$ in travel and take away from the idea of a conference, which is to have competition among closely-situated school to breed rivalries.
i would highly doubt texas would leave the big 12. look at the rivalries and history. just in texas alone you've got 4 of the 12 teams: texas, texas tech, a&m and baylor. sorry, don't see that move at all.
and it is all about the money. if they can add a couple schools, the prize being notre dame, they can have a much bigger conference tourney, which equals mo' money.

Monthly Archives: May 2011
Mike and I attempted a little storm-chasing on Sunday Night. We both had our Canon S5 IS cameras set up on tripods running CHDK scripts to try and capture lightning. But the storm fizzled here in Marquette, Michigan. The night as no a loss, though. Dramatic weather makes for great color and a different view on our everyday life. Some photos were taken with a small Casio camera that I run trails and races with–it fits in a tiny pocket.
Fairylands and Forty-Seven
I'm blessed to live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and to have The Wilds so readily at hand. Saturday I worked a 3pm to 11pm shift followed by the morning shift on Sunday 7am-3pm. I only managed 4 hours of sleep between the shifts. I think I surprised Mike when I came home and said, "Grab your camera–let's go!". So Sunday, around 4pm we headed out, guided by our intuition, and landed down a gorge near a waterfall in Fairyland where I fell in love with this tree. I could have taken a nap and listen to it whisper secrets!
Sunshine is like the equivalent to "the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down" allowing me to sing in the face of negativity and danger! And I've been focussing on spreading joy and disconnecting from the negative that tries to swamp us down. Imaging and Imagining the life I want to lead is key!
Blossoming and branching and keeping that sense of discovery is important. What will sparkle in the sunlight under trees near flowing waters? You'll never know unless you venture down into the gorge. Facing fears and trying new things isn't so bad. The last time Mike and I visited this particular bend in the Carp River I was very afraid to walk over a log bridge. My fear of heights and falling so irrational. The creek is really only a foot or so deep, come on fall in I dare ya! (I can laugh now). I walked over it twice with ease on Sunday. Magical!
I am forty-seven and it is a magical age. I've having another spring and I can unfold, blossom, soak in sun, and enjoy the wind. I'm going to grow, heal, learn. I feel like singing often. I listen to my intuition and I can hear the little magical beings of the deep forest calling.
Self Reflections on the Dead River
Dead River I-IV
(all rights reserved)
Part One: An evening with Mike on the Dead River Basin had me reflecting. I was thinking of May Erlewine, her music, her lyrics, her voice, and how I needed to be lulled by eddies. I was entranced by the surface tension of the water. The thickness of the water. Viscosity. The reflections of forest and sky. Upsides. Downsides. And how needy I have felt the last few days.

It was with concern that I learned of an urgent recall by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) of a flea product intended for tick and flea treatment in dogs that has, in unknown quantities been incorrectly packaged for cats and kittens. The product is manufactured by Armitage Pet Care and the details can be found on the VMD website below:
Working in busy general practice, every year I see several cats that have been poisoned by incorrectly applied over the counter flea products. The majority have been treated by their owners in error with spot-on products intended only for use in dogs.
Anyone who owns pets will understand the nuisance and distress an infestation of fleas can cause. In fact the most common species of flea found on both cats and dogs is Ctenocephalides felis felis, commonly known as the cat flea. The term 'cat flea' can however, cause confusion, as the name refers to the genus and species and not to fleas only isolated from cats. Not surprisingly, in my experience owners tend to be in a hurry to treat an infestation once it has been discovered. On the surface, over the counter products can appear to offer a cheap, more readily accessible alternative to the somewhat more expensive licensed products offered by vets.
So if dogs and cats can share the same fleas, why can't they share the same treatment?
In the majority of cases, such as with the current product recall, the toxic component to cats is permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid. Permethrin originates from a modified extract of the chrysanthemum flower. It is an insecticide, commonly used in spot-on preparations used control fleas, ticks, lice and ear mites. Insects are very sensitive to permethrin, in addition their lower body temperature increases the toxic effect making permethrin an effective insecticide. Cats can tolerate up to 0.1 per cent solutions well but the higher concentrations of 2 % or more found in some preparations for dogs are extremely toxic.
One theory behind why cats are so sensitive to permethrin is that as obligate carnivores they have no evolutionary requirement to metabolise plant based toxins. In herbivores and omnivores such as the dog for example an enzyme called glucoronyl transferase metabolises permethrin in the liver via a process called glucoronidation but in cats gene expression for the enzyme is believed to be faulty. It is the lack of this enzyme that also makes drugs like paracetamol so toxic to cats. Other chemicals added to flea products to improve efficacy may also block alternative metabolic pathways for permethrin in the cat. In addition permethrins are absorbed via the skin, however cats are fastidious about grooming and exposure is significantly increased by oral ingestion.
Permethrin is lipophilic (fat soluble) allowing it to distribute into fat and also cross the blood brain barrier, it accumulates in nervous tissue. Permethrin has a reversible effect on voltage gated sodium channels present in cell membranes. In nerve cells premethrin causes earlier depolarisation of the cell membrane generating repetitive firing of impulses known as 'action potentials' that travel to other nerves or stimulate muscle fibre contraction.
Over ninety percent of cats exposed to permethrin spot-on develop clinical signs after exposure. Onset of symptoms occur within 1-3 hrs, they include tremors, twitching, seizures and hyperthermia (as a result of increased muscular activity). Recovery can take 2- 3 days and in some cases longer. Breathing difficulties may develop secondary to muscle weakness. The effects can be fatal in 10% of cases.
Treatment consists of removal of the chemical and controlling the effects on the nervous system with muscle relaxants and anti-seizure medication whilst continuing supportive therapy like intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration. More recently however intralipid therapy has shown promise as a potential method of detoxification. Intralipids are sterile fat emulsions, traditionally used in human medicine to provide fat and energy intravenously to patients who are unable to eat for prolonged periods. In a toxicological context Intralipids were first used in people to reverse the toxic effects of local anaesthetics on the heart. Recently veterinarians have been using intralipid to treat lipohilic toxins like permethrin. Intralipids are thought to form a lipid sink for lipohilic drugs reducing the distribution of the drug within fats and nervous tissue and expediating recovery.
Having witnessed the dramatic and prolonged effects of permethrin toxicity first hand I would always urge pet owners to use flea products recommended by their vet.

Are Grace and Law REALLY opposites?
So often I hear people say things like 'we're under grace, not law,' and usually this is when they're excusing behavior they know to be wrong. Part of the problem is that many of us just don't know what grace really is, and therefore have a distorted perception of what law is and how it relates to us under the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. In this Youtube video, we'll take a look at what the Bible has to say about law and grace and whether they really are opposed to one another.

Ballaké Sissoko & Ludovico Einaudi – Soutoukou
Ballaké Sissoko has a knack for getting into excellent collaborations. He must just be a really nice guy. The superb composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi and Sissoko apparently refer to each other as friends with the music they create together seen as a gift from one to the other. This week's track of the week – taken from their collaborative album Diario Mali – certainly feels this way. Not only do the kora and the piano exchange beautifully throughout the song and the album but the recording itself captures the affection felt between the two musicians. Every now and then an audible "yeaaah" can be heard as the pair build something very special.
Malian musicians have a superb record for integration, adaptation and collaboration. Vieux Farka Touré collaborated with classical instruments on the album The Touré-Rachel Collective. There, Touré used an acoustic guitar – an instrument fairly familiar with pianos and other classical instruments. The amazing thing Touré does, like his father before him, is play, or at least adapt, ngoni songs on the guitar. What Sissoko does here is use a traditional West-African instrument and integrate it straight into very dominate classical sounds. Einaudi's piano doesn't seem to have met the kora half-way at all, and it does not need to. Such is Sissoko's mastery of the kora he effortlessly plays with the piano. He makes it sound like the kora belonged there all along, as if you'd heard these instruments play together a hundred times before…
…but perhaps never this well.

What are the fossils?
What are the fossils? :
What are the fossils? How are they formed? Where were the first fossils found?
Fossil is the record or remains of a plant or an animal that lived many thousands of years ago. A fossil may either be in the form of a well-preserved body in ice (The mammoth found below the ice in Siberia) or a hard part of the body like bone or tooth, hardened by minerals. Sometimes the body gets trapped in amber or some other sedimentation. A footprint or even excreta of ancient animals get fossilized.
By methods like carbon dating, the age of fossils can be found out. The oldest fossils known to scientists are those of bacteria that lived 3.5 billion years ago. Three-billion-year-old fossilized forms of algae too have been found. The first fossils were probably obtained from mines in England However, fossils have been found in many places in Europe Asia, Africa and America and in the Himalayan regions.
Fossil of baby wooly mammoth was unearthed from the frozen ground in Alaska, U.S.A.

(The Architect is taken from my 2016 collection of short stories – The Outsider Tales. The story was inspired by some weird real-life phone calls that I endured when I was a struggling musician looking for gigs. Enjoy!)
The Architect
Unlike Wilmot Brown, the black ink had not faded with time. As he sat there in a dark room lit only by the faint glow of the streetlights outside, the words on the page were still clear.
'The darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn.'
Wilmot had a thing for a good quote. They were his rare stamps or exotic marbles, and therefore his something to be hoarded. Every time he heard a good one, he jotted it down in a small black notebook – his own self-help manual. Hardly a day went past now that Wilmot didn't feel the need to pick up his book of quotes and take comfort within its pages. In there were the words of the greats: Abraham Lincoln, Sir Francis Bacon, and others whose words of wisdom had outlived the rest of them.
He closed the notebook and put it down on the window ledge. Leaning back on the slim wooden chair that he'd placed by the window, Wilmot Brown continued his vigil over the streets of London. He leaned down and picked out out the last bottle of beer from a six-pack at his feet. Dragging a metal bottle opener from the pocket of his jeans, he gripped the edges of the lid and as he pushed upwards, it hissed like an angry snake caught under his boot. Wilmot closed his eyes and drank in the icy cold liquid.
"Happy New Year," he said to no one.
He turned back to the window. Down there was a never-ending parade of New Year's Eve revellers. They were all over the street, pouring out of every nook and cranny like an infestation of cockroaches. They just kept on coming.
One particular group of partygoers caught his eye. They had to be the loudest ones so far, what with their laughing and singing and trying not to scream as they fell down drunk in the middle of the road. And it was all so hysterical that they were still taking selfies even as they lay on the deck, squashed together in one big happy group.
Wilmot leaned forwards for a better look. As his faced pressed up against the cold glass, he reached out and picked up his imaginary rifle. Then he pointed it towards the streets and placed a red target on each one of their little heads.
"This is Agent Brown." He was talking into the collar of the faded blue zip top he was wearing. "Clean up time."
He took aim once more and was on the brink of pulling the trigger when he heard a sound. Both the imaginary gun and the hitman persona (one of his favourites) vanished.
His mobile phone was ringing.
Lifting his forehead off the glass, he tried to remember where he'd left the phone a few hours earlier. It was probably still lying under the bed as he'd wanted it out the way. Switch it off, put the world aside and get drunk – too drunk to care. That was the plan at least. Maybe then he could sleep for a day or two straight without stopping to eat or think about food. That was one way to beat the hunger pangs.
What a pity he'd forgotten to switch the phone off.
Who'd be calling him anyway? It was only eight o'clock – midnight, the bells and the bullshit were still hours away. It's Mum, he thought. Has to be. She does the same thing every year, calling him up before the phone lines get jammed at midnight. He squirmed at the thought of small talk with the old girl. How's things son? How's the new house? And worst of all, how's the acting going?
To his parents, Wilmot Brown had always tried to convey the image of being at least a mildly successful actor. His mother – a nervous woman by nature – would have a fit if she found out how dire things were for him career-wise. For his part, he was sick of lying – to her, his dad, his successful brother. Telling them that everything was okay when it wasn't. That was the Wilmot Brown guide to fooling your family. Suck it up, smile, and act cool – which funnily enough was the only acting he ever did these days.
He walked over to the single bed, which was tucked up against the wall of the bedsit where he'd been living for the last five months. Wilmot hoped that if he walked slowly enough, then maybe she'd hang up. So he tried, but the phone kept ringing.
Wilmot dropped onto his knees. He thrust his head into the space under the bed and looked around. "Jesus," he said. The phone was dead centre, a lone wolf drowning in a sea of dust and God knows what. He reached out and wrapped his fingers around the phone, pulling it out of the mess.
He glanced down at the screen: 'Unknown number'.
That's not Mum, he thought. Wilmot snorted in annoyance. Nobody else ever called him except salespeople. But who on earth was trying to sell him shit at eight o'clock on New Year's Eve?
Usually he didn't answer withheld numbers. This time, his curiosity got the better of him.
He hit the green button.
"Hello." He sat down on the bed.
"How's it going?"
Wilmot didn't know the voice and yet somehow, maybe he did. The voice had an accent and it was either American or Canadian. It was a deep voice too, not booming but hushed, and with a quirky snarl that reminded Wilmot of the way Humphrey Bogart used to speak.
"What can I do for you mate?" Wilmot said.
"Are you the actor? The gentleman with the ad in The Stage newspaper – male actor, North London – looking for work?"
Wilmot sighed. Here we go again, they call you up, promise you the earth and hand you a dry turd.
"Yeah that's me."
"Pleasure to talk to you Mr Brown."
Wilmot ran a hand through his black hair. "Look mate, it's New Year's Eve. What can I do for you?"
"Well, maybe I can do something for you?"
"Yeah?" Like fucking off?
"I'm an actor too Mr Brown. I've just been looking at the classified ads in your British trade paper. There are a lot of people looking for work. It's hard for young actors today, wouldn't you agree?"
"I'm thirty-nine," Wilmot said. "Not that young."
"Young enough."
"I'll get to the point Mr Brown as I can tell you're not a man who likes to play the waiting game. I just called to give you some career advice."
Wilmot shook his head back and forth. Not again. "Look mate. My ad says looking for work. Not looking for advice. Do you have work to offer me?"
"Just think about this for a second," the caller said. "There are other actors in the paper with ads just like yours. They're all looking for work too. Those are the guys and girls you want to get it on with."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Join forces. Form strength in numbers. Do what large groups of actors do and form your own independent theatre group. You could do street performances or make a short film on a low budget. You've got more options that way. It might seem like hard work, but you've got to think like an entrepreneur as well as an artist."
"And who's going to round up all these actors?" Wilmot said. "You?"
"No. I live in the States."
"So why are you reading a British trade paper?"
"It's something to do."
Wilmot's thumb hovered over the red button. "That sounds hunky-dory mate. I'll be sure to think it over yeah?"
"I want you to remember something," the caller said. "You are the architect of your imagination. You sculpt dreams out of thin air and fashion them into the reconstruction of your choice."
"Uh, okay."
"You understand Mr Brown?"
"Sure mate. Look I've got to go yeah?"
"Go then. And good luck to you sir."
Wilmot hit the red button and threw the phone onto the bed. He reached out for a bottle of beer that wasn't there and then fell back on the bed. He spent some time there, looking up at the ceiling until his eyelids grew heavy and pushed themselves shut. Wilmot surrendered without a fight and enjoyed a rare moment of peace. Even the streets outside had fallen silent and everything was –
The phone was ringing again.
Wilmot opened his eyes and cried out in frustration. He caught a whiff of his own breath and ducked for cover. His mouth reeked of the tacky aftertaste of the cheap beer he'd been guzzling all day.
He grabbed the phone.
"Alright mate? You got an ad in The Stage?"
Wilmot laughed out loud. Not a happy laugh. Why couldn't they just leave him alone?
This speaker had a cockney accent and the words came out like bullets from the magazine of a machine gun. His voice was so high-pitched that it wouldn't have been absurd to think there was a woman on the other end of the line. It was fast and frantic and such a long way away from the laid back Bogart-esque growl of the last caller.
"Yeah," Wilmot said. "The Stage."
"An American geezer just called me. Gave me your number, didn't he? Said I should call you."
Wilmot brought the phone tighter to his ear. "He gave you my number?"
"Yeah." And then there was a pause, the kind that should never happen between two strangers talking for the first time. "You do know who that was don't ya?"
"The American?"
"You don't know, do you?"
"I know."
"You don't know?"
"Fuck sake. Alright, I don't know."
"Take a deep breath mate," the caller said. "Because you just spoke to Henry Wade and yes – I do mean theeee Henry Wade. Two-time Oscar winner and the King of Planet Hollyweird."
The next thing Wilmot knew he was sitting on the floor. Somehow he'd fell off the edge of his bed and hadn't seen it happen.
"HENRY WADE?" Wilmot cried out. His voice splintered and he fought for breath to get the words out. "You're taking the piss."
"Honestly mate. I know it's hard to believe but he's only sitting in some bleedin' hotel room in LA reading The Stage. I mean, what the fuck right? Making long-distance phone calls to unemployed actors in London. Fuck knows why. He's probably stoned out of his head."
Wilmot didn't answer right away because he was too busy berating himself. I should have known. That voice. You FUCKING idiot!
When Wilmot didn't say anything, the caller kept talking.
"Henry Wade's my hero. Nah, more than that he's my idol. Fuck, I can't stop shaking…sorry man I'm rambling, aren't I?"
"Did he tell you?" Wilmot said. "Did he tell you his name?"
"No. But if he was trying to stay anonymous then he called the wrong geezer. I've seen all his films at least a dozen times and well, I know the guy inside out, don't I? I base my acting style on his, I study his speech, his mannerisms, everything. When he let it slip that he was calling from LA, well, I just confronted him with it. You're fucking Henry Wade aren't you, I said?"
"I've had worse days."
Wilmot felt sick to his stomach. His own conversation with Henry Wade had been scant in comparison to this guy's. This guy, who didn't sound like the sharpest tool in the box, had picked up on it right away.
What does that make you Wilmot Brown?
The caller once again filled the silence. "So what did he say to you?"
"Same as you I guess," Wilmot said. "Told me to get off my arse and get something going. To join forces with all the out of luck actors in London."
"That all?"
"He threw a bit of inspirational cheese in there too. Fucking yanks, eh?"
"What did he say?"
Wilmot racked his brain for the right words. "Oh what was it? You are the architect of your imagination and some other bollocks."
"I don't remember him saying that to me," the caller said.
Wilmot allowed himself a smile.
"So what now?" he said to the caller.
"Dunno mate. He suggested I contact you. That's as far as I've got."
"Think it could work?" Wilmot said. "His great idea?"
"Dunno mate."
Wilmot thought about it and spoke out loud at the same time. "I haven't done any decent acting for ages mate. All my energy goes into looking for work these days. And there ain't none of that kicking about."
"If we could persuade other actors to get involved…"
"You still there mate?" the caller said.
And then it happened.
As if struck by divine inspiration, Wilmot Brown was suddenly a rock spewing forth a river into the desert of his own half-life. For the first time in a long time, he was alive and ideas and words exploded into existence as one.
"Street performances! We could do street performances mate. You know like busking but acting and we could do Shakespeare and contemporary urban material and think about it the opportunities are limitless and we could get gigs in schools and tour around the country and who knows it might even become fun again and we could get a cool troupe name and well just see what happens it might work might not what do you think man? Eh?"
The caller giggled. "Shit. You sound up for it."
Wilmot grinned on the other end of the line. "Yeah. That's the spirit. C'mon let's do this.
"Did he leave any other numbers with you?"
"About four or five actors in North London."
"That'll do for starters," Wilmot said.
"Yeah," the caller said. It sounded as if he was latching onto Wilmot's newfound enthusiasm at last.
"That's the spirit mate," Wilmot said.
The caller, no doubt in a fit of overexcitement about life's new possibilities, then burst into flawless impersonation of his hero, the great Henry Wade.
"You are the architect of your imagination. You sculpt dreams out of thin air and fashion them into the reconstruction of your choice."
Wilmot laughed, for real.
"You sound just like him."
"Let's swap numbers, eh?" the caller said. "And oh yeah, what's your name again mate?"
"Wilmot. Wilmot Brown."
"Call me Loki."
"Yeah I know. A nickname from my younger days."
Wilmot and Loki exchanged numbers, made plans to talk again, and then said their goodbyes.
Wilmot dropped the phone on the bed and headed straight to the fridge. An overwhelming thirst had come from nowhere and he grabbed a beer from the second six-pack that he'd bought to get him through the night. This one, he thought, is for celebrating. He yanked the lid off and didn't hear it hiss. Then he went back to the window and sat down in his chair.
It all made sense. Wilmot Brown had always believed that he was destined for great things in his life and he'd never been able to figure out why great things hadn't come. Life was always too busy kicking his arse it seemed, but now it made sense. Here he was hobnobbing with the King.
He brought the beer bottle to his lips. His hands shook and not just from the cold.
Wilmot replayed the conversation with Henry. Two-time Oscar winner Henry Wade. And all the while he drank, filling his belly and soaking his brain cells with sweet beer. He then replayed the conversation with Loki and fantasised about himself as a famous actor in the future. Next a drop-dead gorgeous female presenter was interviewing him on television. What about the blonde one from the breakfast show – what's-her-name with the nice teeth and big tits? She would ask the questions and her legs would pry further open with his every word.
It's an unusual story Wilmot, isn't it? The way you got your life back on track.
Very unusual. It was New Year's Eve and I was down on my luck. I was alone, completely alone. And then the phone rang…
Wilmot stopped to look down. A massive erection was pushing at the crotch of his jeans. It was ridiculous and wonderful and he laughed. Godzilla was stirring in the deep blue sea and he hadn't stirred like that in years.
The desire to masturbate was overwhelming. Wilmot's hand moved down to the zip of his jeans but for some reason, it was at that moment that Loki's impromptu turn as Henry Wade bounced back into his head:
"You are the architect of your imagination. You sculpt dreams out of thin air and fashion them into the reconstruction of your choice."
Man, he did a good Henry Wade.
But wait a minute.
Wilmot's eyes narrowed. How could Loki have known what to say whilst impersonating Henry's bullshit? Hadn't Loki told Wilmot that Henry Wade hadn't shared all the self-help motivational Oprah crap with him? How could he have known about the architect thing? And to recite it perfectly, almost too perfectly, word for word.
What else had Loki said?
"I've seen all his films at least a dozen times and well, I know the guy inside out, don't I? I base my acting style on his, I study his speech, his mannerisms, everything."
When the truth landed, it hit Wilmot Brown like a monster truck to the solar plexus.
He leapt out of the chair. But as his leading foot made contact with the wooden floor Wilmot slipped on a small puddle of spilled beer. He fell hard, landing on his right knee. Wilmot screamed as he rolled about the floor, cradling his leg as if it were a fragile child.
But he had to keep moving. Wilmot forced himself to sit up and he straightened out the damaged leg. He howled in pain. It felt like a million sharp needles clamping down on his knee all at once. But he fought through the pain and kept moving, not walking but slithering across the floor like a wounded man-snake. He was crawling towards the bed and by now sweating not just buckets but tyrannosaurus sized beads of perspiration. He came to the bed and reached up, pulling at the sheets to use as a climbing aid. He slowly hauled himself onto the bed, biting hard into the thick fabric of the mattress. His phone was there, tucked in between the folds of the sheets. Grabbing it, he fell back onto the floor and searched for the number that Loki had given him.
Loki. How had he not seen this coming?
Wilmot found the number and called it. He put the phone to his ear.
"You prick," he said, waiting for someone to pick up. "Some people just love to cause shit, don't they? The mischief-makers and timewasters. Here's to you Loki and your band of merry men. Fuck all of you. Fuck you who drove a double decker bus over my dreams. Fuck all of you!"
Still, Wilmot hoped he'd got it wrong. Maybe it was still possible. Maybe one of the world's most famous actors really had called him up from Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. If you want something bad enough, you know?
Wilmot heard a brief click followed by the sound of a familiar voice on the other end of the line. It wasn't Loki. And it wasn't Henry Wade either.
"The number that you have dialled has not been recognised. Please hang up and try again…the number that you have dialled has not been recognised. Please hang up and try again…"
He hung up.
Later that night, Wilmot Brown resumed his vigil over the streets of London. He leaned back on the chair next to the living room window and with great care, straightened out his damaged leg. Wincing in pain, he folded it back up and then opened it out again.
Happy New Year, sucker.
Still, Wilmot smiled. He took comfort in the fact that somewhere out there, someone else was even lonelier than he was. This someone was so lonely in fact, that he was browsing the classified ads of newspapers and magazines, looking to feed his lonely heart on the dreams of others. Looking for somebody to talk to.
He heard something outside. It was screams or laughter or both. People were still swarming all over the streets and from up there, they looked like ants. Wilmot reached for his imaginary gun. He reached out to pick up the weapon but instead noticed the black notebook lying on the window ledge where he'd left it earlier. So instead of the gun, he picked up the book and opened it at a random page.
The words were still clear.

Women's Clothing Of WWII
Fashions of the Seventies have been numerous, reflecting a brand new curiosity in clothes as self expression. No single look encompassed the decade which was a blended back of hippie/Bohemian, retro, and punk. The final silhouette was lengthy and lean with a lot of hair, a search for both sexes that gave the era an androgynous enchantment. This was the time for uni-intercourse hair salons, a time when platform sneakers appeared for both women and men, and each sexes wore excessive waisted pants and shag haircuts. Cheeky Bottoms: Much less is extra this season with Brazilian reduce bikini bottoms skimpier than ever. Do not shy away from this cheeky reduce, embrace it! Notice women, that further material in your bum adds volume, making you look bigger than you really are (a very good factor, who wants a scrawny butt?). Cheeky bikini bottoms with their kind becoming slinky cuts are booty flattering, and actually on trend this year. We particularly love a wide banded cheeky backside, which is super slimming within the hip area.
Angela – Some recommendations – incorporate gingham fabrics into your centerpieces or perhaps gingham or checkered tablecloths. Checker-boarded patterns or cherry patterns. Polka dots in lighter colors reminiscent of pale blue or pink. A lot of Fifties themed party items will work perfectly for rockabilly themed events, as well. Just attempt to keep the cheesy social gathering items out. Does your daughter notice that Dia De Los Muertos is definitely an enormous part of the rockabilly neighborhood? Maybe you could inform her that. 😉 Tattoos, skulls, and big hair are all rockabilly key objects. Hopefully this helps, sweetie. Good luck and have fun with this theme…feels like a blast to me!
What a fantastic idea for an article! to be honest I are inclined to put on the identical old same old. I'm not one for fits and many others. but have develop into conscious of my form changing so I do exercises and so on, and on a food plan for the time being to get rid of belly fat. carrying jeans most of the time is a great thought for me and I'm comfy in them. however I am 57 so I suppose I had better develop up and wear extra ladylike garments! lol! both that or i will pop across to brazil and let all of it hang out too, what do you think? lol!
You hit proper on the pinnacle about the way in which folks react to the way in which individuals dress when a girl wears something individuals are afraid to say any thing to them. However let a person put on one thing completely different they go crazy about it. I dwell in an space that does not care to much about what you will have on, as long as you do it with style. At the beach men can rear a woman's swimsuit and nothing is alleged about it, but don't let him put on a skirt or other merchandise of women clothes leaving the beach then there is likely to be something said.
Different clothes items I brought from residence were bras and panties. Finer shops do carry bigger measurement bras and panties, but simply to verify for consolation's sake, deliver enough undergarments to final you until your subsequent go to to your own home nation. If that isn't potential, Wacoal model bras are available in bigger sizes, however one cup measurement up: in the event you normally put on a B cup, then your Wacoal measurement will likely be a C. You might attempt Vanity Honest brand as effectively, which goes as much as a DD but solely in a very few shops.

Personal computer And Video Games
As always appears to be the case, the new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are out of stock in shops with a several week wait if you order on the internet. The new Apple Watch Series 2 is also impossible to get without a wait. No matter whether these waits for units is due to low supply or high consumer demand is always impossible to determine but both of the new iPhones and new Apple Watch have gotten mostly constructive reviews in the media. Many reviewers are agreeing that the most recent watch (Series 2) is what the Apple Watch need to have been the 1st time a year and a half ago.
A lot of of the characteristics of modern day CPUs and operating systems are inappropriate for challenging real-time systems. For example, pipelines and superscalar several execution units give high functionality at the expense of occasional delays when a branch prediction fails and a pipeline is filled with unneeded directions. Likewise, virtual memory and caches give very good memory-access occasions on the typical, but sometimes they are slow. Such variability is inimical to meeting demanding real-time schedules, and so embedded processors and their operating systems have to typically be reasonably straightforward.
I bought a Macbook Pro on the recommendation other people that i would have much less difficulty than with a Computer, what a lot of garbage. The wheel of death is not only frustrating it wastes a lot more of my time than the troubles with a Pc. Apple go back to the drawing board and build a machine worth the expense you charge. No a lot more Apple goods for me.
Because thought processes – at least if they are much more likely to lead to the truth rather than falsehoods – have to involve an unfolding understanding, then if our believed processes were purely computational procedure (or any physical method), then we be no far more most likely to reach appropriate conclusions than false conclusions about anything. Which is absurd. So computationalism, or certainly any variety of (reductive) materialism, can not possibly be right.
Nevertheless, the software program have currently been updated and this dilemma has currently been taken care of. It is also important to note that the laptop will not overheat all the time. It is only when you are playing graphics-intensive games and software for a lengthy time that ANY laptop will heat (not just Lenovo). That is why, a cooling pad, is advisable all the time when gaming or using software program that need a lot of CPU resources.…Read More

Timber worktops offer the quintessential English country 'look and feel' to your kitchen and are so enticing to touch. Solid timber worktops are probably the only worktops that actually improve with age. At worktops.net we take our environmental responsibility very seriously and all our wooden worktops are ethically sourced from FSC accredited forests which guarantee replanting for future generations. We offer a fantastic range of over 10 species of wood from around the world which are hand finished to a silky smooth finish.
Installed by one of our professional teams, you are guaranteed to have the best quality worktops to last you for a lifetime, at an affordable price.
Choose from our wide range of design details to create a highly personalised appearance for your worktop
Our timber worktops are fabricated from the finest 'A' grade timber that is cut into 40mm staves that are glued together with a waterproof adhesive. All our stave length varies generally from 300-750 mm. Dead knots are generally not allowed. However, in some woods, where the natural character of the tree means that small knots can appear during cleaning, small knots of up to 8mm are acceptable.
Wooden worktops are often criticized for hygiene and it is true that wood is not impervious to liquids and need to be sealed and sterilised, especially after contact with raw meat. However, studies have shown that although bacteria may be absorbed into the wood grain, they do not normally multiply and will eventually die. Furthermore the almost seamless joints minimise crevices for germs to accumulate. Top quality timber worktops are strong and very resilient and if cared for properly they can last a lifetime. Wood is hardwearing, resistant to impact and scratches can be sanded out. However, it is not resistant to heat and liquids and need to be sealed regularly or it may warp. Wood is a combustible material and heat insulation is required if the worktops are installed above stoves and ovens.
Please contact our customer services team for further information or to discuss your requirements

Sofia Vergara tricked Julie Bowen into wearing underwear from her brand
Sofia Vergara once tricked her Modern Family co-star Julie Bowen into becoming a "tiny butt model" for her underwear line.
Sofia runs EBY, a seamless underwear subscription service that she started with Renata Black in 2017.
Unbeknown to Julie, she recently started to wear EBY thongs while filming the popular ABC mockumentary sitcom, after 45-year-old Sofia sneakily left some out for her.
"I thought the wardrobe department was leaving them for me, because they always leave you a thong, because that's what you're supposed to be wearing under the skirt. So I just thought they were leaving me, I don't know … underwear. And then one day I realise it's Sofia's underwear line," Julie told Us Weekly.
"She goes, 'Yes, I need somebody with a really tiny butt to try the small size and tell me how they fit.' I was like, 'And I'm the tiny butt model?' She's like, 'Yes.' They're great, though. I do wear them now, under skirts with the lines, but not on the pants."
Colombian Sofia may have also had a second motive when giving away her thongs – she hates the full-size underwear Julie normally wears.
Explaining how she'd sometimes allow Sofia to catch a glimpse of her big panties hanging out of her trousers, Julie, 48, laughed: "She'd go, 'that is disgusting'.
"Please, dress like a woman. Aye. Spanish, Spanish, Spanish. Why do you dress like a boy? Disgusting."

Managed by Muscles
Before Boat Moves
by R. C. Taylor
(Excerpted from The Mariner's Catalog - Volume 3)
The above heading is a brief form of the Chinese
definition of the yuloh, one of the greatest marine inventions
of all time. It is a sculling oar for small, medium, and large-sized
The full definition, as the late Ham de Fontaine
mentions in his piece on the yuloh reprinted on the opposite
page from a 1948 issue of Yachting magazine with the kind permission
of Dorothy de Fontaine and Yachting, is: "The thing on
the boat's sides which is to be managed by strong muscles before
the boat moves." Ham's description and drawing described
the thing well, and here are an additional comment or two.
First of all, we can testify that the thing works.
We used a 10-foot yuloh on our old Herreshoff sloop, a 32-footer
displacing not too much less than 5 tons. It shoved her along
very nicely in a calm at about 2 knots. I say "it shoved"
because once you got her going, the yuloh really did seem to
do most of the work of keeping her going. At any rate, the yuloher
only had to put out a modest effort.
There was always something very satisfactory
about sculling with the yuloh. The yuloh follows exactly the
same path through the water as does the sculling oar) but the
yuloh provides so much mechanical advantage compared to the
normal form of sculling, that it somehow seemed as if the thing
was cheating the basic forces of nature. Of course it wasn't;
it was just taking full advantage of them.
A critical point that Ham didn't mention, I believe,
is the method of attaching the lanyard to the inboard end of
the yuloh. On our 10-footer, the attachment was made not to
a fitting snug up under the end of the yuloh, but rather to
a long, strong screw-eye, whose eye stood 2-3/4-inches out from
the bottom edge of the yuloh's handle. As Ham points out, the
lanyard takes the thrust of the oar, thus relieving the yuloher
of the job of pressing down on the inboard end of the yuloh,
as the unfortunate sculler has to do with his clumsy oar. The
lanyard also keeps the yuloh's blade from diving too deep.
But the lanyard has another important function:
it allows the yuloher to alter the degree of feather that the
yuloh naturally assumes due to the convex shape of the top of
its blade, thus enabling him, with practice, to get the most
out of the thing under varying conditions and particularly at
the end of each stroke. The more the point of attachment of
the lanyard stands out from the yuloh handle, the more a pull
on the lanyard will change the angle of feather of the blade.
A yuloher working alone has one hand on the loom
and one hand on the lanyard. He pushes and pulls the yuloh back
and forth with both hands, but the lanyard hand leads the loom
hand by a bit, particularly at the end of the stroke, when it
swings out quite far from beneath the loom and then swings back
with a quick snapping motion that changes the feather from one
direction to the other.
The degree of importance of the work on the rope
may be gauged by the fact that in China, with two men working
together on a yuloh, one works entirely on the rope. If there
are as many as eight men working on a big yuloh, at least two
would be working the rope. These would be the most skilled in
the yuloh crew: "This latter is a very specialized branch
of the art; the rope-men throw themselves backwards with great
abandon until they lie almost flat on their backs, their opposite
numbers, doing the same thing, bringing them to their feet again."
This last from G.R.G. Worcester, the late, great, English expert
on Chinese watercraft, quoted from his fabulous book: The
Junks and Sampans of the Yangtze.
Worcester mentions that some yulohs have iron
edges worked into the blades. This is to give the blade more
weight and also to give it a sharper cutting edge as it moves
through the water. The blade on the yuloh I had was quite heavy,
being made of oak, but I believe some extra ballast in the blade
would have made it even easier to use.
Worcester shows drawings of six types of yulohs,
some straight and some curved. He describes the Shanghai yuloh
as being curved, with a large blade, making an angle of about
45 degrees with the surface of the water. He says the Szechwan
yuloh was straighter, with a long, narrow blade making a flatter
angle to the water. The former provided more power than the
latter, but the latter gave the boat a bit more maneuverability.
Try this thing. It does take "strong muscles
before the boat moves," but once she gets going, then weak
muscles can keep her moving.

The French Riviera is lined with gorgeous beach resorts, coastal villages and historical towns. However, if you're looking to discover the real Cote d'Azur and embark on something a little bit different on your visit, we have put together a list of both famous and quirky festivals for you to explore, enjoy and allow yourself to become immersed in the festival culture of the French Riviera.
There is something for everyone, whether you're interested in the music and the arts, yachts, horse racing or even food! The magic of the French Riviera is that there is something going on all year round, so no matter when you're planning your stay, you can find something new.

The Circus Festival has been an annual event since 1974, this festival awards the greats amongst the circus world, and awards are presented to the 'Golden Clown' and other extravagant circus acts.

Here you can see impressive floats made from tonnes of lemons and oranges that weave their way along the sea front in large processions, these also feature confetti, fanfares, dancers and folk groups. After the processions have taken place, the citrus creations are taken apart and the fruit is sold at a discounted price. Each year there is a new, different theme – in 2018, the theme was Bollywood. Other themes include Broadway, religions of France, Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, Great Civilizations and also Around the World in 80 days.

Between June and September, the French Riviera becomes its own stage full of Classical music, song, dance, traditional music, jazz, theatre. With over 400 free performances in 158 communes sharing their generosity, their passions and their talent, this is an event not to be missed.

If you were to ask me today what my absolute favorite meal would be, I would have to say the Greek Salad Pizza at Italy Today in Miami Lakes. It's like Kryptonite to Superman, I seriously get weak in the knees when I think about this pizza.
I'm sure it's not the least caloric food in the world but just look at that healthy greek salad on top of the whole wheat crust, sprinkled with olive oil and crumbles of Mozzarella. Is your mouth watering yet? How about calamata olives and onions and diced tomatoes thrown in? On top of that, if you go for the lunch special it's only $7.50 including a drink (be aware that this is only for sit-in, if you order take out they charge you $10 for just the pizza, not including the drink). This pizza is so simple you could probably make it vegan at home with some sprouted grain tortillas (Ash's suggestion) and vegan cheeze (especially since I'm TRYING to go dairy free).
The only negative of Italy Today is that the service is not always the friendliest, they don't always greet you with a smile but the food is still worth it. Our waitress today was actually really sweet, a couple of months ago it was a gentlemen that could have cared less we were in his section. He obviously didn't care about tips and I made sure mine wasn't memorable (in a good way anyway).
This restaurant is right in the heart of Main Street in Miami Lakes, for a view of their menu go to http://southflorida.menupages.com/restaurants/italy-today/.
Overall, I should say they get 4 carrots because of the touch and go service but the pizza is so amazing, I'm basing it on the pizza alone. 5 Carrots!

Welcome to the Parallax Discussion Forums, sign-up to participate.
You need to quantify 'slightly faster' and I'd suggest vary the read loop maybe down as slow as 10 seconds and record how the time varies with read-rate..... After a week the clock was 45 seconds slow.
.... The time is read in a fast loop continually.
... I changed the PAUSE instruction from PAUSE 1 to PAUSE 10 and noticed the clock ran slightly faster.

Wikipedia: "London After Midnight (1927) aka The Hypnotist is a silent mystery film with horror overtones produced and distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The film stars Lon Chaney, Marceline Day, Conrad Nagel, Henry B. Walthall, and Polly Moran and was directed by Tod Browning. It is also a lost film, quite possibly the most famous and eagerly-sought of all lost films. The last known copy was destroyed in a fire in an MGM film vault in 1967.[1] It is hoped that eventually a print of this film may be discovered in a foreign archive or a private collection.
In 2002, Turner Classic Movies commissioned famed restoration producer Rick Schmidlin (Greed, Touch of Evil) to produce a 45 min. reconstruction of the film, using still photographs. This was well received by horror fans and Schmidlin received the Rondo Award for his efforts."
