![]() ![]() It's not as if England's unfolding crisis has been undertaken willingly, or with any thanks due to the administrative heel-draggers whose lack of proactivity have allowed even Boris Johnson's corruption-mired government to take the moral high ground.īut it does feel, at the very least, that the racism scandal has moved England's discourse into a "post-bad apples" phase, for want of a better description. If these are the issues for which the nation's prudish guardians screech to DEFCON 1, lobbing off weeping sportsmen like shrimps onto a moral barbie, then good luck to anyone who dares to penetrate this human shield, and undertake the sort of systemic autopsy that the ECB seems now to be bracing itself for. Two deep-rooted sporting cultures that, for very different but equally seismic reasons, have had cause in their recent histories for deep and urgent introspection.Īnd yet… is it weird to point out that there's a gravitas to England's ongoing scandal that makes Australia - once again in strictures because of an addiction to moral trivia - look decidedly shallow?įirst ball-tampering, now a grotty text exchange. Schadenfreude? You betcha! But it is also a warning, amid English cricket's own and ever-evolving reckoning, that some issues simply cannot be wished away - "kicked into the long grass", as Nigel Huddlestone, the UK sports minister, said of the racism scandal - or made better overnight with a bit of elite sloganeering and a few well-timed crocodile tears.įor here we have, on opposite sides of the globe but essentially hand-in-hand (given that the Ashes is basically a sibling squabble that could be played out just as effectively over a lifetime of Christmas dinners), two faces of the exact same coin. Tim Paine's tearful exit as Australia's Test captain - 1393 days after his predecessor Steven Smith was ejected for conduct similarly unbecoming of his revered office, and 18 days before the next Ashes instalment - has provided a far more complete narrative arc than the not-quite Ashes glory of 2019 that rounded off Cricket Australia's recent home-vid documentary, The Test.Īnd so, with apologies to Paine's apologies, and to his anguished lament for a lost innocence that his employers had known full well about, even while pressing on with his repackaging as the squeaky-clean boy next door who was going to rescue Australia's morals from the gutter, let it be put on record that this is the first thing in weeks that has put a smile back on the face of English cricket. It has, however, moved the sporting narrative. No wishing away the issues as England and Australia brace for Scandal Ashesįorgive my lack of empathy on this one, but in the grand scheme of cricket's current miasma, Friday's revelation from Down Under - that an ordinary cricketer has turned out, to use the Australian vernacular, to be an ordinary bloke - doesn't exactly move the needle.

![]() ![]() And if it means shedding a few tears along the way, that's a fair price to pay. He hosts a podcast, 'Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out, and is currently touring material from his newest show The Old Man and The Pool. Her performance above all is what's worth watching here. He’s appeared in the films Trainwreck, The Fault in Our Stars and Popstar as well as TV roles in Orange Is the New Black and Billions. (There is a powerful moment when she insists on correcting her mother to say not "if" she is going to die, but "when.") And yet here she is experiencing something new, a change in direction she couldn't have expected. Her Hazel knows who she is, and what's going to happen. ![]() But Woodley brings genuine emotion to what is sometimes overwritten teen-dream dialogue. It would be easy to play Hazel in maudlin fashion, and judging from the rest of the film, Boone wouldn't have minded. (Elgort comes around in the end, too.) She is captivating. That part of the story doesn't really justify the time spent on it.īut watching Woodley does. In addition to his stand-up, Birbiglia has a role in upcoming film The Fault in Our Stars, based on the popular book by John Green. Much of the film is built around Hazel's love for a book about a dying girl, written by a reclusive writer (Willem Dafoe). Whatever the case, Hazel is smitten and they embark upon a unique romance. (Mike Birbiglia is funny in the role, a small performance that strikes a nice balance between cynicism and genuine belief.) Her mother, Frannie (Laura Dern, very good), insists that she try a support group, which is led by a guy with a guitar who made his own rug with a portrait of Christ, so that he can say they're meeting in the literal heart of Jesus. Woodley plays Hazel Lancaster, 16, who has tumors in her lungs and has to lug around a portable oxygen tank. She makes something more, something better out of a movie that would have appealed mostly to teenage girls arriving with tissue in hand. It's because Shailene Woodley is so good as the dying girl who hadn't planned on falling in love. It's not because the writing is subtle or the direction nuanced, though. Also: Enjoy the cutest how-I-found-out-I-got-the-part story ever from Ansel.

Eight years after this religious experience (conversion), she married Alexander van Alstine, a colleague and former student who was also blind.

Issac Watts:Īnd when they reached the 3rd line of the last verse: “Here, Lord, I give myself away ‘Tis all that I can do.” I surrendered myself to the Saviour, and my very soul was flooded with celestial light. After prayer the congregation began to sing the grand old consecration hymn of Dr. Some of us went every evening, but although I sought peace, I could not find the joy I craved, until one evening – Novem– I arose and went forward alone. She attended revival meetings, but nothing happened, as she later wrote in her autobiography: She had struggled to break through to God for some time. ![]() Though raised by a pious Christian grandmother, Fanny did not date her conversion until 1850, when she was thirty years old. All the while, from girlhood through adulthood, she wrote poetry, publishing her first collection, The Blind Girl and Other Poems, in 1844. At age fifteen she left home to live at the New York Institution for the Blind, first as a student and later as a teacher. From that point on, she was raised primarily by her grandmother while her mother worked. Before her first birthday, her father died. With normal sight, she might never have become a hymn writer. It is more likely, however, that she was born blind. She would later say that she had the good fortune of being blind, a condition she insisted had developed when she was two months old, the result of a hot mustard poultice administered to cure her illness. As the story goes, she asked Fanny, What do you think the tune says?” Fanny, without hesitation responded: “Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.” Between 1870 and her death in 1915, Fanny Crosby wrote some eight thousand hymns, many of which are still found in hymnals and continue to be sung today, Including “Blessed Assurance,” “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior,” “Safe in the Arms of Jesus,” “Jesus, Keep Me near the Cross,” “Rescue the Perishing,” and “To God Be the Glory.” Though blind, she wrote of one day seeing – seeing “the bright and glorious morning” and viewing “His blessed face, and the luster of his kindly beaming eye.” Fanny was visiting the Knapp home when Pheobe played a tune she had composed. It was Pheobe who wrote the tune for one of Fanny’s most memorable hymns. Fanny often visited her at her New York mansion, where she enjoyed talking to another of Phoebe’s friends, Harriet Beecher Stowe. One of Fanny Crosby’s dearest friends was the hymn writer Phoebe Knapp, a wealthy woman some fifteen years younger than she. ![]() ![]() ![]() Berlin came to know about the fake execution of Monika and concluded to kill Denver as he believed that he was the only one to reveal his identity.

His images seem to have almost completely detached a human attachment, and I think that’s part of the reason that they’re so great. That we live in a world that exists in a larger world. He wanted people to understand the world, through his images. They’re often of the great outdoors, which puts man into perspective. The fact that man seems so insignificant in comparison. The first thing most people notice about Adam’s photography is the sheer scale of the images. He would often leave before dawn, and arrive home after dusk, because he knew the importance of finding the right place to stand.Ī common problem that many of us face, is that we simply don’t have the same kind of commitment to taking photos. Ansel Adams Went to Great Lengths to Capture his PhotosĪ good photograph is knowing where to stand.įor Ansel Adams, this meant climbing mountains, trekking for hours at a time. If you understand your camera and your exposure, taking photos becomes instinctive. He was so in tune with his equipment, the process became instinctive to him when it mattered the most.Īs he went to capture a second ‘safety’ photo after the first, the sun had gone from the gravestones in the foreground, and the moment had gone with it. With the sunlight rapidly moving away, and not enough time to find his light reader, Ansel Adams very quickly calculated the exposure for the photo, without any tools but his mind. He Was So In Tune With His Equipment, Taking Photos Became InstinctiveĪrguably his most famous photograph, Moonrise Over Hernandez was taken within a few seconds of pulling his car over to the side of the road he was driving along. You can read more about horizon placement here. Placing the horizon so high in the frame helped the viewer to realise the scale of the image, in comparison to the sky that surrounded it. It’s widely regarded that his best work game in the decades to come, would often favour a much higher horizon. The lesson here is that processing is just as important as the photo-taking process, and shouldn’t be looked down upon as a lesser art form.ĭuring his earlier work in the 1920s and 30s, Adams would place the horizon very high in the frame, giving favour to the landscape below. “Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.” His ability to find perfection in the darkroom coupled with his work behind a camera has produced some of the greatest landscape photography ever made. He would paint onto the enlarger the areas of the photo he thought should be darker or lighter than others. ![]() The technique is a systematic method that helped photographers to determine the optimal film exposure and development.

![]() ![]() THW's Master Plan works in such mysterious ways. However, I also do agree the Diablo forum is not very active, even with the 4 patches released this year for DII. I believe it applies to all of their active games, including SC/BW. Blizzard is reading the Hive and other fan sites, and are interested in a continued info feedback loop. ![]() I understood so far THW wants to create and develop long-standing ties with Blizzard, and become " the official Blizzard fan forum" (quoting Dundred here, but it has more or less been expressed elsewhere already). (other posts are worth reading here too) In the past, there have been discussions here. Keeping a SC/BW sub-forum separate from SC2 would help keep things organized, and enforce THW's strong identity, as a WC3 / SC2 modding site first and foremost. The Hive's sense of community might very well be one of the many things which makes THW's forums worth it. Plus, if the Diablo games has one, then why not SC/BW ? It might attract some SC1 posters, and help create ties with other Blizzard fan sites (?). Sorry, Lost Vikings and Blackthorne fans. Extract this in your Starcraft directory (will not overwrite files) and run Mekani.exe. Yet, a little organized corner of Gamer's Hub for all other active Blizzard franchises might be nice. Those of you interested in this game-changing mod can head over to TyrZs website to download all the co-op missions for the original game and Brood War. I personally would say THW is more WC3 / SC2 related, though. ![]() |
