![]() "He was excited to see these paintings in a different way," Gomez says. Weschler says Hockney was completely charmed and impressed by Gomez. "Next thing you know, we're driving up to the Hollywood hills up to Mulholland Drive through Laurel Canyon to meet him," Gomez recalls. Weschler has written extensively about Hockney and thought he'd make an introduction. He puts another gardener raking a grassy lawn that Hockney had shown being watered. He substitutes leaf-blowing gardeners for wealthy Hockney art collectors. Gomez does riffs on several Hockney paintings. Gomez, who is 29, knows that from his years working as a nanny in LA in the expensive house where he worked he watched other servants come and go.Ĭourtesy of Abrams Gomez makes life-size cardboard cutouts of laborers - such as this "gardener" on North Beverly Drive - and leaves them on manicured lawns. "The painting itself was originally going to be called Thursday Afternoon," Gomez explains, "because those are the times that the pool cleaner and the housekeeper would come into the space." And over toward the back, a woman - she's faceless, like all his figures - sweeps the patio near a wall of windows. In Gomez's version, the water darkens to cobalt and instead of a splash there's a man cleaning the pool. In A Bigger Splash, Hockney shows turquoise water in a big pool with a diving board and a big splash of water. The famous English artist began painting rich LA in the 1960s. The first Gomez painting to catch Weschler's eye was a nearly precise reproduction of a work by David Hockney. ![]() There's that guy over there, there's that guy, and that lady that's there. "He'll just say 'Eight.' I'll say, 'Eight what?' He says, 'There's eight workers I can see in my line of vision. "I can be walking along with him," Weschler says. The artist always has laborers in his range of sight, Weschler says. He's done a long essay on Gomez for the new coffee table book Domestic Scenes. These images show "the lush, easy lifestyle of L.A., which is entirely undergirded by armies of domestic workers," says New Yorker magazine writer Lawrence Weschler.

The Faire opened at 10 am, so we left here around 8:30 am and drove up to Geneva-on-the-lake. Because of all the stuff, my hips felt bigger than they actually were and that made walking interesting until I got the hang of it. I put on loads of eyeliner and was good to go. ![]() That was the really heavy part, especially when it was full. Then I had my green sash and a leather belt off of which I had my money pouch (also leather) and an 18 ounce glass bottle in a holster. I had 2 runes (for those who care, they were the Solomon runes Sallos and Ronove) plus a necklace with bells and charms and a hip scarf with 3 rows of the jingly coins. I had huge dangly earrings and an ear cuff that always kills when I take it off. I ended up wearing a huge bronze bracelet on one hand (I have bruises today!) and a coil with bells on the other. I wore my gypsy skirt and an off the shoulders top and about 6 pounds of accessories in total. Yesterday, I decided I would go as a gypsy. Now, I have a crapload of costumes to wear as well, even after I'd cleaned out a lot of them. It's nice to know that Johnny Phoenix did get married and that Mike's daughter Enniveh is doing well. I've managed to make friends with quite a few performers and vendors as well as guests over the years, so I like to go back and check up on them. So, having that history with the Faire, I have to go back every year. Basically when you're cast and it's a faire day, you act like you are ALWAYS being watched. They train you in at least 3 period dialects, including Shakespeare (although I would NEVER try to act it, it's not my strong suit at all), manners and deportment for all the classes such as serf up to the nobility, as well as mythological creatures, and training in staying in character for essentially 11 hours straight, whether you're eating, walking, parading, or even (I am so not kidding) going to the bathroom. I've had training out the wazoo that would make theatre majors weep. It's lots of fun when you have a job there if you're doing fencing because you get downtime to wander and make friends. I've done cast, vending and fencing show. Now, I am an old hand at this particular faire, since I've worked there for years (not the past 2) since I was 15. If you've never been and have the opportunity to go to ANY Medieval/Renaissance Faire, GO. It's a roaring good time for all and much love is to be had there. Although it's not out of my home range or anything like that, it IS a different experience. Each theme weekend features unique events and special guest performers.So yesterday I went for the first weekend in ages. Time Travel Through the Ages Pirates, Mermaids, and Crusty Things Celtic Celebration Clash of the Clans. For example, theme weekends at the 2016 fair included Heroes & Villains, Princes & Princesses Roman Circus, A.D. The fair also hosts theme weekends to make visitors want to come back. Other highlights of the Great Lakes Medieval Faire include jousting, games of skill such as axe-throwing and archery, delicious foods and drinks (including authentic medieval dishes), and even birthday parties. Skilled jewelers, blacksmiths, leatherworkers and others create items right at the fair and everyone is welcome to watch! ![]() They offer an impressive selection of unique goods such as jewelry, traditional clothing and accessories, hand-blown glass items, handmade soap and perfumes, weaponry, and more. Musicians, dancers, comedians, singers, jesters, acrobats, storytellers, fire performers, magicians and other performers amaze everyone with their talent and skills, making spectators gasp with delight.Īnd what about the marketplace? The fair’s Medieval Marketplace features over 100 skilled artisans from all over Ohio and out of state. There are several stages throughout the fairground, offering continuous entertainment all day long. ![]() ![]() Costumed characters and performers keep guests entertained, making sure that no one gets bored. The festival takes place in a family-friendly theme park filled with stage entertainment, artisan and vendor stalls, interactive games, fairground rides, exciting contests, delicious treats, and more. It incorporates historic, fantasy, futuristic and even superhero elements. The festival is set in the fictional 13th-century shire of Avaloch reminiscent of Sherwood Forest. It attracts over 45,000 attendees over the course of a season. The Great Lakes Medieval Faire and Marketplace was founded in 1992 and has been held every summer since, running from early July through mid-August. ![]() ![]() He has some trouble knowing how a judge works, even when Leshawna and Courtney tell him how to do it. In Ant We All Just Get Along, Jude becomes the judge in a case against the ants. In Cuttin' Corners, Jude and Bridgette tell everyone to clam down and that they should just be happy with whatever slice of cake they recieve. He ends up in the naughty corner alongside Owen. Jude runs out in fear, letting Chef know that it was all a fake. Things get a little weird when Chef is about to kiss Jude. Jude and Owen desguise themselves as "LeFonda". The plan seems to work until Izzy wrote a letter to say that they would meet up, they must improvise a real date. Due to Chef being in a bad mood, Jude suggests to create a fake girlfriend for him. In The Date, Jude and Owen are hungry for pizza. Jude and Beth team up to try and save Owen's radio chili dog from Harold and Izzy. Harold thinks it is evil, while Jude believes it might be a peaceful alien. ![]() In Free Chili, Jude and Harold mistakenly believe Owen's chilli dog with a walkie talkie is an alien. After the chicken causes chaos at the daycare and attacks Jude's friends, he gets emotional and decides to let his mascot go. They become best friends, and Jude does everything he can to prevent Chef from seeing it. In Cluckwork Orange, Jude befriends a chicken and takes it back to the daycare, naming him Nugget. Jude ends up taking off all his clothes before riding on the slide naked, where he ends up getting a nasty case of friction burn on his butt. The high sugar content gives both kids a sugar rush and the other kids have trouble keeping them under control. In Duck Duck Juice, Jude and Izzy dare each other to drink Chef's Rainbow Juice. Jude and Izzy are out of control thanks to a wild sugar rush. Upon succeeding, Jude is overjoyed to be reunited with his toy robot. In Venthalla, Jude joins Duncan and the other kids in raiding Chef Hatchet's locker to take back their toys. He also inherits his older self's laid-back attitude and rarely gets angry or panics during a stressful situation. Like his counterpart, Jude is an honest person but because of the way he views the world differently, he is often labeled as weird by the rest. Considered to be the oddball of the children, second only to Izzy, Jude is known for his eccentric behavior (such as attending class without clothes), lack of responsibility, overuse of the word "dude", and love for skateboarding. Much of Jude's characteristics are similar to his original counterpart. ![]() ![]() You’re the only thing that is irreplaceable in my life and I don’t even want to bear the thought of losing you.

The pink ones are available in a pack of 10 pre-cut sheets to fit the Herbin rocking blotter (the same thing that comes already on the blotter), they're more expensive this way, but convenient. The bottle contains 50 ml of beautiful ink. These ink bottles have a basin inside to assist with filling when the ink level is low. If used properly it shouldnt smudge the ink. The LAMY T52 bottled ink comes with a roll of blotter tape that can be used to clean the pen after filling, or to blot writing. This elegant and chic object brings a touch of vintage decor to a desk. These sheets can be cut down into 4 strips to fit the Herbin Rocking Blotter, giving you 40 sheets for your blotter. The use of the blotter is to dry the ink completely and immediately, as opposed to letting it dry on its own. The handle can be unscrewed to insert a blotting paper. ![]() Then they confirmed the theory using rudimentary pens made of tiny glass tubes. ![]() Both colors are available in full sheets (7.5"x4.75") in packs of 10. The researchers first developed a theory of ink flow that involves the basic properties of paper and fountain pen. It comes in both pink and white sheets, but there's no difference between the two other than color. I've heard of people getting some from their local printers (if there is one local to you), but the Herbin stuff is made and distributed specifically for fountain pen use. I have to be honest and say I'm not 100% sure what is the difference between one blotting paper over another. Herbin blotting paper is good stuff, but there's other blotting paper out there. One thing I like to do is cut it to fit a small carry-around notebook I use, and when I'm writing something in the notebooks, I can just shut it and know that the ink won't go over to the other page. You don't have to use blotting paper in a rocker blotter, there are other uses for it. But if you're writing something thoughtful and you don't want to break the flow of your writing, a blotter can help you to stay 'in the zone' and keep you going without having to wait for your ink to dry. Pair it with some blotting paper, and this tool will be useful for any fountain pen writing session. Just allow some extra time for your ink to dry on the page and you'll be all set. A beautiful wooden rocker blotter made by J. If you don't have a blotter, no big deal. But in today's world where most hand writing is done with ballpoint and rollerball pens, the concept of waiting for liquid ink to dry on a page is a foreign concept to new fountain pen users.

Still it’s 18 percent more bandwidth than the TP-Link X20’s 522.1 Mbps. That should be fine for most families but fell short compared to the Netgear Orbi RBK852 (at 883.6 Mbps), the SURFboard mAX Pro (820.3 Mbps) or the Asus ZenWiFi AX8 (701.0 Mbps). With 15-feet (4.5 meters) between the router and the receiving Galaxy Book Pro, the benchmark recorded 636.2 Mbps of throughput. After a week of daily use, the two-piece kit came close to filling my 3,500 square foot house but left several small dead zones in the basement. Using Ixia’s IxChariot networking benchmark to simulate 10 data-hungry users and a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro as a connected client, the AmpliFi Alien was reliable but fell short of the best. All support gigabit per second transfers but none can handle 2.5 Gbps inputs. While the router has a WAN input and four downstream LAN ports, the MeshPoint satellite has one Ethernet port. If your home has Ethernet cables, you can use them to turn the satellite into a wired access point. It’s easy to change from using the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band for the back-haul channel that shuttles data from the satellites to the router. The Alien kit lacks the ability to tap into the Wi-Fi 6e’s 6GHz band, however, and carries an AX7700 rating. Based on the 802.11AX protocol, it creates a tri-band network that uses the 2.4GHz band (up to 1.148 Gbps) as well as a low-bandwidth 5GHz channel (at 1.733 Gbps) and a high-bandwidth 5GHz channel (at 4.804 Gbps). It’s got 1GB of RAM and 256MB of flash storage space for firmware and network settings. Powered by a Qualcomm IPQ8074 Wi-Fi chipset, the system uses a 2GHz quad-core processor to keep up with data traffic. Unlike other routers that only have annoying blinking lights, the AmpliFi Alien can show anything from current network devices and internet status to the processor and memory loads. Happily, the AmpliFi Alien doesn’t have a bulky external AC adapter. By contrast, the MeshPoint node only has the LED ring.īoth have soft rubber feet and a cut-out in the back for routing the WAN connection and power cord. At any time, it’s easy to reduce the screen and the LED ring’s brightness. If this is too much, the night mode can shut down the screen and LED ring independently on a daily schedule.

They can save output files as CSV files, which makes it easy to compare listed IP addresses against DNS records. ![]() Once it detects all live nodes, users can access the connected device and execute commands on it, as well as turn them on, off or put them on standby. Results reveal any shared folders on any detected host, as well as the hostname, MAC address and manufacturer. Advanced IP ScannerĪdvanced IP Scanner is another ping sweep tool for Windows that can scan a single or group of IP addresses. However, it should be noted this same reason makes port scanning popular with cybercriminals. This is a useful function if an organization frequently test firewalls within their systems. While it doesn’t offer port visibility, TCP and User Datagram Protocol ( UDP) functionality will allow users to conduct port scanning on connected computers and routers. Its ping request function operates at the internet layer of a TCP/IP protocol. It can be installed on Windows, Mac OS, Linux or Unix. Hping is also an ICMP ping command-line tool used heavily by senior network administrators who prefer using commands in either ping or a traceroute form. Results provide the hostname, and whether or not a DNS address looks suspicious or reveals a missing record. It works by uploading an IP address range and allows you to filter results by address types, active or inactive hosts and DNS records. Fpingįping is another command-line tool available for Linux OSes. The raw output provided by the Nmap process can be difficult to read, but there are additional “reader” tools that can transform the data into easy-to-read records. ![]() In TCP form, it can act as a port scanner and will indicate any open ports on each connected device or router. The program provides the IP address of active hosts and their hostname. It can be installed on Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Unix, and can perform a scan with Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP) or as a ping. Nmap is a free network system tool that, similarly to Paessler PRTG, executes from the command line. Nmap When a destination isn’t reachable, the router responds with an ICMP message back to the ping sweep indicating so. If it receives a response, the response is recorded and additional inquiries can be used to investigate any suspicious network devices. To reach every node on a network, Paessler employs a ping command in a looped routine to sweep every network address available. The program uses a command-line interface ( CLI) to issue a ping query to one IP address at a time. It is available on any operating system in use today. Paessler PRTG is a system monitoring tool that maps networks and the devices connected to them, as well as the network performance overall. SolarWinds also offers an IP Address scanner that combines ICMP and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) sweeping options that works with IPv4 and IPv6 address types. It can also indicate potential malicious device activity when compared against those devices that are expected to be present on your DNS server. This information alone can indicate performance issues that users can resolve through troubleshooting. ![]() Network discovery results reveal the hostname of each device detected and the time it took to respond. Users can export results as a TXT, CSV, XML or HTML document. This is done by uploading a text file that includes a list of IP addresses.

Their friendship carries the film through the ups and downs of life, with Mitch as the guiding light to Einar's disgruntled reality. His first duty is to take care of his best friend and long time cowboy buddy, Mitch Bradley, played by Morgan Freeman. We are treated to watch Robert Redford play a perfect curmudgeon, crusty, craggy, a rancher named Einar Gilkyson, in his 60's who has a lot to do every day. Take yourself to the theater, then look forward to the DVD. ![]() Give yourself a treat and enjoy Redford in the comeback film of his career.Īn Unfinished Life may be the sweetest movie you'll see this year, and certainly the most beautiful. It doesn't pack the punch of "Million Dollar Baby", a film which it's bound to recall because of the Freeman's character dynamics. It's a quiet movie, full of lovely vistas and some intense drama. The drama unfolds quite nicely and our hearts are touched along the way. Things are bound to change with the arrival of his daughter-in-law and the granddaughter he never knew existed. The only redeeming moment arising from the relationship with his best friend. Without a way to release himself, he has managed to create a pretty miserable existence for himself. People carry grudges and live with demons for many years some are unable to even get rid of them. With the very capable support of Morgan Freeman, a quite good Jennifer Lopez, and masterful work by Robert Redford, we're treated to a special film, a study of family relationships where things don't appear contrived or staged. Some films are able to capture subtleties in a pretty straightforward manner, and this is one of them. Redford is just outstanding and his performance deserves to be rewarded. Director Lasse Hallström isn't bringing any flash to this and it can seem slow for some. This is an emotionally deep movie with great subtle performances from everybody to match. She's a good actress in the right project. I get why some people dismiss Lopez but she does a really good job in this one. I don't know what happened to the distribution but I certainly don't remember this movie being released. Crane Curtis (Josh Lucas) is the sheriff in town who falls for Jean. Both Einar and Mitch must come to terms with the past. Einar is taking care of injured Mitch Bradley (Morgan Freeman) from a bear attack. She has no where else to turn to except for her estranged former father-in-law Einar Gilkyson (Robert Redford) who still blames her for the death of his son. ![]() Jean Gilkyson (Jennifer Lopez) is on the run with her daughter Griff (Becca Gardner) from her abusive boyfriend Gary Winston (Damian Lewis). Title (Brazil): "Um Lugar para Recomeçar" ("A Place to Restart") Although being a predictable story without any twist, this sensitive movie is highly recommended. Josh Lucas is a great support actor and the favorable surprise is the performance of the young and unknown Becca Gardner. The cast has amazing performances, showing the importance of a director of the weight of Lasse Halltröm: Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman are unanimity, but I myself like a lot the versatile Jennifer Lopez and strongly believe that even the viewer that dislike her as actress must admit her excellent performance in this touching film. "An Unfinished Life" is a beautiful tale of forgiveness, with the lead characters healing their wounds Mitch, the ones provoked by a savage bear, and Einar his innermost feelings of loss. ![]() While Mitch heals his wounds and forgives the bear, Einar also changes his feelings regarding Jean, finally understanding that accidents happen and accepting her and loving his grand-daughter. Einar is taking care of his friend Mitch Bradley (Morgan Freeman), who was attacked and seriously wounded by a bear, and he does not know that he has a grand-daughter. Jean and Einar are disaffected, since he blames her for the death of his beloved son in a car accident. In order to escape from the abusive boy-friend Gary Winston (Damian Lewis), Jean Gilkyson (Jennifer Lopez) moves with her young daughter Griff Gilkyson (Becca Gardner) without previous notice to the ranch of her father-in-law Einar Gilkyson (Robert Redford) in Wyoming.
