The Garden As of Early July
Okay, I should have moved the lawnmower before taking the above photo of the raised beds of vegetables. Honestly, nine years of doing this blog and I still don't know how to do it right!
Here's the squash, above.
A couple of beds of tomatoes. I think there are 22 plants. And in the far left, a small bed of green peppers and cucumbers.
Above: about a zillion sunflowers coming up under the bird feeder. Hmm. We'll see what happens …
Lots of raspberries in the backwoods. Seems like twice as many as in previous years. They'll be ready in August.
And now, the flower show:

Leonard Starr 1925-2015
Cartoonist Leonard Starr, best known for creating "Mary Perkins, On Stage," relaunching "Little Orphan Annie," and creating the animated TV series "ThunderCats" died June 30, 2015 in Connecticut. He was 89 years old.
(Above: Starr inks Frank Bolle in this pretty much forgotten series from Crown Comics. See the whole thing over at Ger Apeldoorn's blog.)
A native New Yorker, he graduated from the High School of Music and Art, and then Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. While an art student, Mr. Starr freelanced for a variety of comic book companies, including Timely (later Marvel) and DC. He drew the Human Torch and Sub-Mariner.
After years of working in advertising, he created "Mary Perkins, On Stage" for the Chicago Tribune-Daily News Syndicate. He wrote and illustrated the popular feature until 1979, when he helmed the revival of the late Harold Gray's "Little Orphan Annie" comic strip. It was later retitled "Annie." He continued to work on the strip until his retirement in 2000.
In the early 1980s, he teamed with fellow cartoonist Stan Drake to create "Kelly Green;" a series of graphic novels for Dargaud Publishing about a sexy female action hero. (It's scheduled to be reprinted by Classic Comics Press this December.)
In 1984, Mr. Starr was creator and head writer for the animated TV series "ThunderCats."
He had been awarded with the top prize from the National Cartoonists Society, the Reuben Award, in 1965. He had won the NCS Best Story Comic Strip Division Award in 1960 and 1963.
Mr. Starr has his home in Westport, CT and is survived by his wife Bobbie.
Truly one of the giants in his field; a man with superlative ink line, respected by his peers. He created comics and cartoons that touched fans for decades.

Bob Englehart Editorial Cartoon Plagiarized
From the June 28, 2015 Facebook page for Bob Englehart, editorial cartoonist for The Hartford Courant:
Many of you have seen this cartoon circulating around the Internet. Somebody took my cartoon "Going...Going...Gone!," stripped off my caption and my name and altered it. This is in complete violation of copyright law and respect for an artist's work. In the spirit of new beginnings, I won't call whoever did this any names or what they might do with themselves. Use your imagination. This appeared on the Southern Poverty Law Center website. If they are lawyers, they're not very good ones. They certainly don't know, or care, about copyright law.
The next day, the Southern Poverty Law Center apologized. They even said "We screwed up."
Here's the text:
On Friday, we posted a cartoon that seemed to perfectly encapsulate a tremendously emotional week. Five panels depicting the Confederate battle flag going down a flag pole, representing the political conversation following the horrific events in Charleston, South Carolina, and a rainbow (LGBT pride) flag going up in its place, representing the Supreme Court's decision to make marriage equality the law of the land.
And did it resonate. At this moment, the post has nearly 260,000 Likes and over 190,000 shares.
The problem? Well, we got the credit wrong. And the cartoon was modified from its original form.
On Sunday we learned that the first three panels of the Confederate flag going down was the work of Hartford Courant editorial cartoonist Bob Englehart, who originally posted it on June 22nd (see here: http://sp.lc/OXaHP).
Someone had added the last two panels of the rainbow flag being raised. In doing so, they removed the original caption "Going…going…gone" and, even worse, deleted Mr. Engelhart's signature, which also included the date and the Hartford Courant copyright.
We screwed up. We found the image on Twitter and credited the editorial cartoon syndicate Cagle Cartoons, which appeared in the doctored cartoon.
Thankfully for us, an editor at the Hartford Courant generously asked that we only correct the record here, which we were eager to do.
In sum: We apologize to Mr. Englehart and his colleagues at the Hartford Courant. Everyone here who liked that post should go over and check out his work. If that cartoon resonated, you'll be pleased to know Mr. Englehart publishes multiple times a week.

MAN IN APRON AND OTHERS by Larry, "one of Punch's most popular cartoonists." This was his first collection. It's copyright 1957, 1958, 1959 Bradbury, Agnew and Co. Ltd. Here are just a few of his cartoons. They are all wordless and there's some wonderful writing here. On some them, I had to really look before I "got" the cartoon. Love his breezy style.

Helene Parsons is a working gag writer for syndicated and magazine cartoonists -- as well as comedians and broadcasters. And she has started her own blog, Cartoon Gagwriting: My Experience.
I don't use gag writers myself, but some cartoonists do. By outsourcing the writing, it allows them to concentrate on drawing and producing material.
From reading books about joke or gag writing, I learned that they almost always had a set up and a punch. The set up is the straight, or factual part. The punch is the unexpected part and should come at the end. I also learned that certain words were funnier, specifically, words that had the "k" sound in them. Also, that there was something called a series of three, where the first two items were the set up and the third item was the punch at the end. After looking at thousands of cartoons in publications such as The New Yorker, Barron's and Reader's Digest, I could see that fewer words had a greater punch. I became familiar with the situations these cartoons focused on. For example, cartoons in Barron's mostly focus on the business world. I felt I could write business gags because after working in offices for many years I had opinions about things. I could see the humor in the relationships between bosses and workers, workers and co-workers, salary issues, lazy workers, lazy bosses. You get the picture. I also realized that I liked to write about restaurants (snooty waiters, demanding customers, lousy food) and relationships (husband and wife gags, mostly).

Linux in Banking
We have used Linux as a development platform before and chose it because of the rich set of tools included with most distributions. This project held no surprises—Linux was a convenient, productive and reliable development platform. We never had problems with any of the development tools, and never experienced system downtime.
In the past, we have developed software for Windows NT as well as for other UNIX platforms. Linux compares very favorably with these as a development and deployment platform—it is simply more full-featured and better supported.
Linux is proving its worth as a production environment as well. It runs on inexpensive hardware and, along with Apache SSL, offers excellent WWW server performance. We would be hard-pressed to find comparable systems on which to run our WWW servers, development environment and firewall without spending much more money and settling for a less comprehensive tool set.
In this project, the rich set of network features found in Linux proved especially useful. In particular, the following:
Setting up the firewall was simple, and the resulting system is quite effective.
Our development server uses ssh for secure remote connections, the X Window System for convenient access to source files and tools, and Samba to allow developers to access files directly from their PCs.
BIND made it easy to implement a failover from the primary to a backup server.
Various shell tools make it easy to keep the software on the backup server current.
Linux is not only feature rich, but also well-supported. We have found that whenever new security exposures are discovered, Linux is invariably the first system for which patches or workarounds are available. For instance, the ping-of-death vulnerability was reportedly fixed in three hours, and a Linux patch for a common buffer-overrun vulnerability was released alongside the discovery of the bug itself. We doubt that any vendor could match the response time of the worldwide community of Linux programmers.
In this project, we built just one application—a user interface with which our customer's clients can make financial transactions. However, there is nothing about our technology that is specific to the Internet or even to banking.
Within our customer's organization, the same technology could also be used to enable thin clients to function as teller workstations, process loan applications and support communication with automated teller machines and telephone voice response systems. Beyond the financial sector, this technology could be used for any transaction processing system with a broad or geographically distributed user community. Examples include travel booking systems, libraries, government registries and more.

Gaming is like anything else in life, pick your poison. Whether it's drugs, gambling, alcohol, or that racy internet stuff, a little of anything isn't that bad, but dig in too deep and it'll consume you.
The idea that a company should choose a payment model is similar to the idea that a company should choose a game model. We all know that game models = wow clone, so every game is trying to break the classic game model.
Subscriptions allow for a controlled payment model, where both the end user and the company can predict their month to month costs / income. They satisfy all but the most self-entitled gamer who feels the need to get something for free with the option of rewarding the producer. As a rule, subscription games usually have a tad better quality, and much better customer support, considering the people playing are paying to be there. There's also typically a slightly better enforcement of the rules, again, since the company doesn't want it's players to walk.
Buy 2 Play is the idea that you pay $50 for a game, then you never have to pay another nickel unless you want to put feathers on your armor or something. That's all well and good? Sounds to me like a cash grab, after the initial sale, what interest does the company have in maintaining players? In the real world, the only reason companies make games is to make money. After the money is made, and they still have this monstrous IT / internet bill, do you expect them to just sit on their initial profits, bleed to death, and call it a success? No- like GW1, they introduce updates that kill the player base and get them to move on, then make another new game to make another cash grab.
Free 2 Play - yeah right. Some are worse than others, but 80% of the F2P mmo's in this sites list start you off with a treasure chest full of game-spoiling cash shop items to wet your appetite, and from there you choose how much money you want to spend based on how much fun you want to have. The games put time consuming obstacles in your way, long travels, steep grinds, harsh enemies, all with simple cash shop solutions. It's like going to a clinic where they inject you with various illnesses and then offer to let you ride out the symptoms or cure it for a fee.
Pay 2 win is a patch that can be added to any game who's company is struggling financially, or needs a quick cash grab. That potion that makes you crit nonstop for 3 minutes, or that scroll that stuns all enemies within 30m for 15 seconds. Only $5 means you can make your opponents rage and add to your win record!!! Woot.
Anyways, I'm biased, I trust p2p games more, I know they want to maintain me as a customer, they don't want to offend me or rip me off. Even if the game sucks, I'm only out the first month and the purchase. I've always noticed that free 2 play games are all modeled around their cash shop and how best to get you to spend money, where p2p games are more focused on content and questing and fun.
Just think about it from the companies perspective, they spend all this time making a 3d game where you can log in and now they need to get money out of your pocket, so that becomes the entire focus. There's 2 ways, entertain you and get you to give them a few bucks each month, or copy paste a chinese grinder and put sparkles in the item mall. What sounds easier to you?
We all have this dream of the all-consuming MMO life-ruiner that costs nothing and is the best game of all time, having a donate button on the main page where we can support them if we're in that mood. These games have come and gone, primarily due to money problems, and the people who made them learned their lesson.

I have unlimited everything on my phone. The wayI use it now that is the better deal. 4 months ago that was not the case and I had a pay by minute type of plan.

I don't think p2p is by and large better value it better cs or higher quality or even allow for controlled payment setting as they can guarantee the same set next month. I see no distance at all between f2p b2p and p2p in that regard.
It is completely dependant on how the individual plays. Which is why I disagree with pretty much every pOint he made.

I'm sure if you comb through the list of games, you can find a game that breaks the mold, but that's what you'll have to do, comb.

What does any of this have to do with a free market? I was expecting an analysis from an economic viewpoint. Something along the lines of how each payment model attracts different groups of people, how each payment model overlaps the other and how the payment models can affect the game's mechanics rather than a brief overview and then an editorial.

I was expecting all the typical stereo types of p2p floats around on angel wings pooping fairy dust on it's players and everyone is happy and everything else is a spawn of the devil with every player standing there drooling with their wallets open.
I wasn't disappointed at all. I almost find these sad little posts kind of funny.
You know, after the first few sub sentences I thought: "Oh, an unbiased breakdown of the payment model"
So to put it bluntly without the pay base fan boyism
Sub = Companies can spend more for updates because they can budget better, sometimes cash shop for aesthetic items but minimal income from it.
B2P = Box sales are driven by grassroots and word of mouth growth to not "burn out" sales growth additional cash shop subsidizes and allows for small content updates after the honeymoon period. Income somewhat unstable but usually 1st year is solid
F2P = Cash shop is primary source of income. Initial investment in the came is lower than the others, highly unstable income but maximizes potential profits until specific changes in player base. Only keeps a small team on payroll for many small but rapid aesthetic updates and usually employs level faster via cash shop or the Gem Combining Pyramid of Probability. (PWI uses the combing pyramid for a lot of there supplementary profits.)
Freemium = Sub + one of the others, like a free trial but significantly more locked down, some content/features behind pay wall. Income has a portion that can be budgeted for while a separate portion can potential provide an additional unstable income bonus.
I am fine with all models, they have their place and some games just aren't built to be F2P and that's fine. Anyone who can't see that all the options are viable business models either doesn't understand business or they refuse to be wrong in their hating.
So, having said that, time for the biased part. I don't like the Gem Combining Pyramid of Probability like PWI uses, that is all.

There seems to be this other perverse corollary to this in that the few times someone actually does deliver, no one wants to discuss it. The threads where we regurgitate verbal diarrhea are more popular. Go figure.
My hope is that the EQN Landmark threads will have some interesting stuff to talk about since there is no NDA. That could be very refreshing. As for the OP, it's hard to disagree with an opinionated preference. The only thing I have to say to that is, "that's nice".

Here's an odd, although perhaps obvious, observation I've made regarding the F2P vs Subscription debate:
I find it unusual that proponents of F2P systems declaring the subscription model dead, tend to point to Freemium game conversions as their proof, while these Freemium games in current form make what might be a significant portion of their income *selling subscriptions*.

To me the ideal model from a purely consumer point of view (ignoring the retardedly obvious but unworkable completely free game) is to simply pay for content as it is produced like TSW or GW1 . Realistically though a company has to pay for some infrastructure though so a small sub fee on top of this is reasonable but I do prefer most money spent on a game to be directly buying content. I like lifetime subscriptions as an option although they can be risky both for the player and the company.
You're absolutely right that you need to provide direct incentive for a company to keep producing quality content. This is my main complaint against most F2P/B2P models. The people who support F2P games don't tend to prioritize the kind of content I like in games and since they're the ones paying they get to dictate what content the company will focus on.

Nobody knows who you are, knows your number, you have nothing in your phone, no contacts, no apps, no data no nothing because you won't have that phone for very long. You certainly can't use the phone the way it was meant ot. and Noone else wants to use a phone that way yet you'd still run around day in and day out bragging how you get free phones.

WASHINGTON (AP) — At the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, it was a cause for celebration: Meticulous intelligence analysis backed by Hellfire missiles had paid off, once again.
The CIA launched a drone strike last month on a Yemeni beach at three men it determined were al-Qaida militants. One of them turned out to be Nasser al-Wahishi, about as important a figure as agency man-hunters could hope to eliminate. He had been both al-Qaida's second in command and the leader of the group's dangerous Yemeni affiliate.
American officials touted the death as a big victory. But did the demise of another senior extremist, the latest in a long line to be taken off the battlefield, make the United States and its allies any safer?
To many experts, including a growing number of former Obama administration national security advisers, that proposition is less convincing by the day.

The membership of the United Church of Los Alamos was thrilled recently as they resumed their Sunday services in the main sanctuary.
Phase two of a multi-phase project was recently completed with a vast number of improvements made to the interior and the exterior of 2525 Canyon Rd.
According to Pastor David Elton, the interior work included a new entrance, renovated reception area, the addition of new hardwood floors and new restroom facilities.
The exterior enhancements found workers leveling the ground between the education building and sanctuary and creating a significantly larger parking lot behind the sanctuary off of Rose Street.
Mich Rich Contractors, Inc., of Albuquerque was the builder for the sanctuary construction project and both staff and committee members enjoyed working with them and are pleased with the outcome.
"This is the second phase, however, because of the generous giving of the congregation we were able to combine a number of phases of the master site plan," said Elton. "I'm proud of the fact that the church fulfilled their top priority in the completed work to make our facilities more accessible for everyone."
Beginning this weekend, Bandelier National Monument will be offering their summer slate of weekend evening ranger programs.
Friday nights throughout July and August will feature the long-popular Nightwalks.
Nightwalks are silent walks in the dark through the Ancestral Pueblo dwellings in Frijoles Canyon, with poetry and storytelling.
Numbers are limited so Bandelier is requiring sign-ups. To do so, interested participants can call the Visitor Center at 672-3861, ext. 517.
"We hope everyone will join us sometime this summer," Superintendent Jason Lott said, "Summer evenings are so special at Bandelier. Don't miss the opportunities to come enjoy the programs and the park."
There is no minimum age, but anyone attending must be able to refrain from talking throughout the hour-long program.
Saturday nights alternate between Night Sky talks and Evening Programs.
Night Sky talks include a presentation on astronomy, followed by viewing with telescopes. Evening Programs are ranger talks about various aspects of Bandelier, accompanied by pictures on the big amphitheater screen.
This Saturday, the Evening Program will be "Wild About Bandelier," exploring the diversity of life in the many life zones found in the park.
For the fourth year in a row, Bandelier National Monument is partnering with the United States Citizenship and Naturalization Services to host a naturalization ceremony at the park on Independence Day.
For Saturday's ceremony, 18 candidates from 9 countries, after working for years to fulfill their requirements, will be taking the oath and becoming the newest citizens of the United States.
The candidates come from China, France, Iraq, Jordan, Mexico, the Phillipines, South Korea, Ukraine and Vietnam.
The ceremony begins at noon behind the Bandelier Visitor Center. Keynote speakers will be noted author, poet, music teacher and Los Alamos Living Treasure Stephanie Sydoriak, herself an immigrant — originally from Ukraine in 1913— and Bandelier Superintendent Jason Lott.
In addition, Michele Jacquez-Ortiz will also be speaking, representing New Mexico's Congressional Delegation.
Alicia Solomon, noted soloist with the Santa Fe Opera, Symphony and Desert Chorale, will sing the National Anthem and Eagle Scouts from Troop 129 will parade the colors.
Refreshments will be provided by the Rotary Club and there will be flags, gifts and flowers for the new citizens.
For the past several years, the Los Alamos Public Schools has kept a wary eye on its declining enrollment levels, wondering if and when the decline was going to stop.
The decline has been so steady that there has been talk of closing either Piñon Elementary School or Chamisa Elementary in response to the decline, or even expanding one school to accommodate the other's student population.
However, thanks to a recent real estate deal between the county and a company known as the A-19-A-1 Site Acquisition Group, LLC, that choice may never have to be made.
According to county documents concerning the land deal, the name refers to the number assigned to a 70-acre parcel of land next to the White Rock Visitors Center. The land once belonged to the U.S. Department of Energy, but was sold to Los Alamos County in 2002.
Recently, the county sold it to A-19-A-1 Site Acquisition Group, LLC. According to the county's requests for proposal, the county was looking for a developer that could develop the site for a mixed use of apartments and shopping areas on the site.
The usually serene Fuller Lodge Historic District Advisory Board (FLHDAB) meeting was filled with roused citizens last month after a plan to install a glass and steel elevator on the outside of Fuller Lodge was announced.
The board heard on an update on elevator options last night.
The elevator was Mullen-Heller Architecture's proposed solution for providing ADA (American with Disabilities Act) accessibility to the second floor. The architectural firm has been contracted to design a $3 million renovation for the lodge and the Los Alamos Historical Museum. The current elevator footprint is too small for ADA specifications.
At last month's meeting, the architects and Los Alamos County Project Manager Wayne Kohlrust explained the challenges of installing an inside elevator: reduced floor space in key rooms, major fire risers — part of the sprinkler system — running through potential locations and the possibility that the elevator would extend beyond the roof.
It was a night for big innings as the Albuquerque Isotopes (35-45) used a pair of five-run frames, including a five-run sixth, to beat the Reno Aces (37-43) 11-8 Wednesday night at Isotopes Park.
Kyle Parker drove in a team-high four runs on the evening.
Reno and Albuquerque traded five runs each in the second inning as both teams batted around. The Isotopes' half of the inning was capped by a two-out, two-RBI triple from Parker.
The Aces regained the lead with single runs in the third and fifth before the 'Topes answered with a run in their half of the fifth courtesy of Angelys Nina's sacrifice fly.
Albuquerque again exploded for five runs in the sixth inning. There were six singles in the frame, including a two-run, go-ahead knock from Parker.
Matt McBride was named to the Triple-A All-Star Game Wednesday afternoon and backed it up by going 1-for-3 with two runs scored, an RBI and two walks Wednesday night. McBride extended his team season-longest hitting streak to 15 games and is batting .411 (25-for-59) with 17 runs scored, nine doubles, three homers and 15 RBI during that stretch.
Los Alamos' Ted Ball reached the final of the 39th New Mexico — West Texas Amateur Championship at New Mexico State University golf course on Sunday
Ball shot a 77 on his first round and an 80 in his second round to move on to the final day.
He was ahead of six golfers, tied with six other golfers at 157 and within two strokes of seven other golfers.
In his third round, however, Ball shot an 88 to slip multiple spots. He finished 41st overall in the tournament.
Paul Cook also represented Los Alamos in the amateur championship. He failed to make the final after shooting a 90 and 92.
New Mexico State University's Kenneth Fadke held on down the stretch to claim the tournament's title.
The Hobbs native made par on the first playoff hole following an impressive final round 67 to come out on top. Fadke stumbled with a second round 73, but sandwiched a 65 and 67 on either side of it finishing at 11-under.
A final round seven-under 65 vaulted El Paso's Devin Miertschin back into the race with a 15-foot birdie exclamation point on the final hole that forced a playoff with Fadke. But, in the end, Fadke was able to hold off the hard-charging Miertschin following a his three-putt bogey in the playoff.

Excited to be live blogging from NACCE Miami Dade College Summit
Presenter: Gary Schoeniger, Co-Creator "Who Owns the Ice House"
How do we define entrepreneurship?
In the past we ignored the entrepreneurs and their talents, we focused on The Company. Then we focused on the charismatic start up leaders. But today net new jobs are created outside of large companies. So we know about large companies, small business management but do not know about entrepreneurial process.
How are we teaching?
Entrepreneurial Study on the Reality of the Founding of Fortune 500 Firms
What path do these "scrappy" Fortune 500 founders take?
Entrepreneurship = Opportunity Discovery! (Amen)

Clique- A Gang Group
Yo Where your Clique Set at blue?
লিখেছেন- McCuHz 21 de অগাস্ট de 2010
A group of 6 or less who are inseparable. Usually unapproachable. Want to spend most if not all of their time together. Usually have many inside jokes that the "outside world" doesn't understand.
Ivy, Jessi, Ruthie, Sheridan, Nate, and David are a clique of six. They repeat their inside jokes over and over and laugh every time. They also have a favorite game in common, which is Dutch Blitz. They all text each other frequently, and attempt to make plans which often fail.

1. noun. A group of persons, typically high school-age, which is seen as hateful and very exclusive by others not in the group. In reality the members of the group are generally nice people, but the secret resentment founded in jealousy of the others causes them to view members as such.

33-year-old Italian photoshop artist from Bologna has a strange hobby - he creates finger portraits of celebrities and famous characters.

More than one way to make yourself scary (several entries) is more than welcome!
Funny Self Portraits
Newly discovered (apparent) Leonardo self-portrait goes on display in Italy in April and May. The portrait has been in a private collection and was originally thought to depict Galileo, however the close inspection revealed that the portrait has been signed on the back with Leonardo's inscription. So far the only authenticated self-portrait of Leonardo is a red-chalk drawing from 1512 when Leonardo was 60 years old. Several research projects also suggest that the famous Mona Lisa masterpiece is in fact the "hidden" self-portrait of Leonardo. It's a "self portrait" contest where you have to photoshop yourself any way you wish.
Funny Portrait
You are asked to photoshop this image The theme of this contest is "Face Swap". Doing a face swap is good practice as it requires several basic skills required to become good with photoshop.

Epi member Luette posts an interesting question on the Epicurious Recipe Swap Forum:
"Can you train to be a chef at a top culinary school if you have food allergies, food sensitivities, or religious and/or personal dietary restrictions?"
Our poster got some interesting replies, but I think this one is the most comprehensive:
LVChef says: "Food allergies are becoming evermore prevalent these days, attributed to many biological, ecological, and genealogical (sp) factors. Regardless, I am certain there is a place for a food sensitive chef. Schools cannot reject your admission because of your allergies (ADA guidelines). But a good point was raised in that it will prevent you from tasting or even being around some ingredients. It all depends on what you are allergic to, but you can certainly have a successful education/career despite the allergy/ies."
What do you think? If you're allergic to, say, tree nuts, can you really be a great chef?

Wordless Music Fall Schedule (New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles)
From Wordless Music:
Just announced: Stars of the Lid with string quartet in Brooklyn + LA
This fall, Wordless Music presents two exceedingly rare U.S. live appearances by the legendary Kranky ambient/drone duo Stars of the Lid, who will perform with string quartet and projections in Brooklyn and Los Angeles this September. Of special note: Brooklyn's show will take place at a new venue for us: the spectacular St. Agnes Church in Carroll Gardens, an acoustic and architectural jewel to which we hope to return. All-ages tickets go on sale starting Friday.
Just announced: Beasts of the Southern Wild in New Orleans
This fall, in partnership with Court 13 and the New Orleans Film Society, Wordless Music presents our first show in New Orleans — and it's going to be a memorable one. On Saturday, October 10, at the historic Saenger Theatre downtown, Wordless Music Orchestra performs a live score with screening to the extraordinary 2012 film BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD. Joining us for this very special performance will be Louisiana's own Lost Bayou Ramblers, along with conductor Ryan McAdams. Tickets are now on sale.
Winner of 75 awards internationally, including top prizes at Sundance and Cannes, BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD was directed by first-time filmmaker Benh Zeitlin, and takes place in a south Louisiana bayou community called the Bathtub. starring child actor Quvenzhané Wallis in an unforgettable role that would make her the youngest nominee for Best Actress in Oscar history. To say we are honored to bring this show down to New Orleans would be a ridiculous understatement. It's hard to improve on Roger Ebert's words: "Sometimes miraculous films come into being, made by people you've never heard of, starring unknown faces, blindsiding you with creative genius."

La Monte Young on His Immeasurable Influence
From Vulture:
La Monte Young has a different relationship to time from the rest of us. His music goes on for a long time — that's objectively true, and it feels even longer if, like many people, you find it boring. He's credited as the vastly influential father of minimalism because when he was 22, in 1958, he wrote the first piece that held notes for a long period, suspended in air to allow examination and contemplation. His best-known work, The Well-Tuned Piano, is a solo performance that has grown in length from three and a half hours to five to, last time he played it, nearly six and a half. (It would have been longer, but he rushed a few parts.) When he was young, Young shocked Karlheinz Stockhausen by strolling in two hours late for the intimidating composer's morning composition class in Darmstadt, Germany. For some time, Young lived on a weekly cycle of five 33.6-hour days. Lately, he stays awake for 24 hours, and then rests for 24.

A majority of Americans say they have little or no trust in the media to report news fully, accurately and fairly, according to the findings of a new Gallup poll.
The Gallup findings, released Sept. 29, reveal that 57 percent express lack of confidence or outright disbelief in media reporting, while 43 percent report having a great deal or a fair amount of trust in media reporting. According to Gallup, the percentage of those with confidence ties an all-time low and is significantly lower than the 72 percent who said they were confident in media reporting in 1976.
Forty-eight percent also told Gallup that the media are too liberal; 15 percent said too conservative. A third said media coverage was neither, but rather just about right.
Factors like income, age and education played into views of the media. According to Gallup, lower-income, less-educated people trust the media in general. Trust declined, however, among those 18 to 29 years old, those making at least $75,000 annually and college graduates, the research organization found.
In summing up its findings, Gallup pointed out that there is a bit of a silver lining for media organizations. While distrust of the media has remained relatively steady, the confidence of Americans in other institutions, such as government, has fallen hard this year. "Thus in an environment in which few institutions elicit high levels of trust, it appears the media are neither gaining nor losing significant ground, but are just managing to hold steady," Gallup said in a summation of the findings.
The Gallup results are based on a telephone survey of 1019 U.S. adults, aged 18 and older, conducted with a random sample Sept. 13-16.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks send Trevor Cahill to Class A-ball, claim Jordan Pacheco from Rockies
PHOENIX -- Three days after designating pitcher Trevor Cahill for assignment the Arizona Diamondbacks have optioned him to Class A Visalia.
Cahill had struggled in the starting rotation and the bullpen in 2014, going 1-6 with a 5.66 ERA in 19 appearances.
After designating him for assignment the team had 10 days to return him to the 40-man roster, trade, release or outright him to the minor leagues.
On Monday Cahill mentioned he wanted to improve his consistency.
"There's times when I come out of the 'pen and I feel good and there's starts where I feel really good, it's just those starts where I don't feel sharp I just kind of have to figure out a way to get through it and still help the team win," Cahill said.
He's expected to start for the Visalia Rawhide Thursday.
Yes, Trevor Cahill will be starting for the Rawhide tonight at Inland Empire! He's scheduled to pitch 3 innings.— Visalia Rawhide (@VisaliaRawhide) June 12, 2014
In another, and unrelated, move the Diamondbacks claimed catcher/infielder Jordan Pacheco from the Colorado Rockies and designated Nick Evans.
Pacheco, 28, had been with the Rockies for four seasons, hitting .281 with 54 doubles, eight home runs and 98 RBI in 270 games. He played in 22 games with the Rockies in 2014 before being designated for assignment on June 4.
The utility man has spent time at first base, third base, catcher, second base and left field.
Evans had played in eight games, going 1-for-11 since his call up on May 28.
