![]() ![]() Podcast: The Writer’s Voice Listen to David Gilbert read “Come Softly to Me.” Like those Ritz crackers squared with Cheddar, Mickey flipping the cheese to the other side so his tongue could get the full blast of salt. For the most part Mickey stayed close to his son and daughter, Ash and Star, and their respective partners, Addy and Martha, while his five grandchildren ran around with the younger grandchildren, the group playing some game involving pinecones and sticks and a pillowcase slipped over the head of whoever was “it.” Mickey still had his PEG tube in, but he was making a happy return to solid foods. He glanced around, searching for someone who might be equally pleased. It had been thirteen years since he’d heard this otherworldly song. ![]() Eleanor’s ex-husband, Mickey, couldn’t help smiling. Up high in the tree Luke had once nailed a sachet filled with K.K.’s hair and fingernail clippings and a piece of gum, recently chewed, the sisters ordering him to go higher, and Luke, as always, obliging.ĭavid Gilbert on finding stories in dreams.ĭown in the yard the old RCA Victor started up, connected to the outlet by an extension cord plugged into an extension cord plugged into an extension cord. The sisters’ names were carved on the trunk, as were Benjamin’s and Luke’s, Benjamin’s older brother, who’d drowned in the Maldives when Jimmy Carter was President. But the weeping beech still maintained its central spot-through the peephole of Google, it resembled butter lettuce. Then she’d put a match to them and Lily would shriek. the amateur naturalist, curious and unafraid. A six-hole golf course took up the meadow where Mom had painted her watercolors and Dad had trotted his collection of horse-drawn carriages, where K.K., the oldest sister, the dead sister, liked to roll in the high grass and collect ticks, tracking their transformation into blood-engorged skin tags. On Google Earth the new house resembled three Monopoly hotels jammed together. The ceilings were probably too low, something Lily had always noticed, how dark and claustrophobic it could get inside, with all the panelling and beams. The rich couple bulldozed the house anyway. Eleanor had even thought about burning the house down. So they sold it to a rich couple who were semi-famous for their wealth-Eleanor would sometimes Google them and scroll through pictures of the man and woman at various parties and galas, e-mailing the choicest of these photos to Lily and Louise, as if she were putting pins into voodoo dolls. But after Mom and Dad died the sisters couldn’t agree on what to do with the old place, what with the hassles of upkeep, and the estate taxes, the property taxes, too. It was from there that they used to emerge in their dresses, led by Benjamin beating on the same small drum he had beaten on since he was eight. The interior of its hoopskirt canopy had acted as the sisters’ sanctum sanctorum. The biggest thing missing was the massive weeping beech. Jasper would pick up his mandolin, and Philip, Lily’s son, would grab Jasper’s guitar, and Louise would sing, and then Lily would sing, and Eleanor would never sing but she might yowl and grab her crotch, and maybe this place would start to feel like the old place. Then they’d shoot Roman candles and bottle rockets, brought by whoever had travelled from, or through, a firework state. ![]() The bonfire nowadays was confined to the copper fire pit at Louise’s house, but they’d manage to get the flames up high. He’d been cremated with his healing crystals still clenched in his hands. And Lewis, the son of Benjamin, the sisters’ cousin, would light the bonfire, once his father’s job. Come night, Jasper, Lily’s grandson, would play guitar. There’d be enough to drink, that was for sure, and maybe something to smoke thanks to the dispensaries in nearby Great Barrington. Louise’s son Charlie would man the grill. Eleanor, pasta salad and lentils with sweet potatoes. Upstairs, the sisters prepared by putting on their dresses, while down in the yard everyone drank Mott’s apple juice and snacked on Ritz crackers squared with Cheddar. ![]()

![]() Like VLC and Plex, MPV is also compatible with Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Overall it’s quite similar to VLC in many ways, so whether or not you use VLC or MPV is mostly a matter of personal preference. MPV also has GPU video decoding support and has a variety of OpenGL video output options which can be desirable to many advanced users. MPV is another great video player for Mac that has gained popularity recently, it’s a fork of mplayer and has a wide range of support for nearly any video format you’d throw at it. VLC remains my personal preference for the best video player for Mac for all-purpose use, it’s fast, no-nonsense, free, easy to use, supports subtitles, adjustable playback speeds, and there is a hoard of other advanced features that you’ll likely never even need to use. There’s even theme/skin support, if you’re into that sort of thing. VLC is also cross platform compatible, so you can use VLC on a Mac, Windows PC, Linux, iOS, Android, and keep the experience consistent. Of course all the primary video formats are supported too, so whether you’re watching MKV, M4V, AVI, MPEG, MOV, WMV, or any of the other commonly encountered formats, the video will play flawlessly without an issue.

Robert Barry Untitled, 1990 Black gesso and colored pencil on canvas Medium: Painting, Drawing, Sculpture Eva Hild at Galleri Andersson/Sandström Stockholm Prior to moving to Paris in 1911 at age 39, Mondrian spent the early part of his life in his native country of the Netherlands, where he attended the National Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam from 1892 to 1897. The dense, small-scale paintings included in this exhibition mark a highly prolific period in Mondrian’s engagement with figurative landscape painting-an early but deeply significant stage in the artist’s methodical progression from naturalistic representation to complete grid-based abstraction. ![]() The selection of works, which depict the Dutch countryside outside of Amsterdam, reflect Mondrian’s lifelong interest in nature and represent some of the earliest examples in his evolution toward increasingly geometric abstractions. “Curated by Karsten Schubert, the exhibition will provide a concise view of the artist’s figurative landscape paintings from 1900-1905, highlighting the period prior to his involvement with De Stijl and Neo-Plasticism, for which he is best known. 1900-1902 Oil on canvas on panel Medium: Painting Piet Mondrian, Irrigation Ditch with Two Willows, ca. ![]() ![]() ![]() "We will be identifying what data – from civilians, government, non-profits, companies – exists, what else we should try to collect, and how to best analyze it." "Given the paucity of observations, our first task is simply to gather the most robust set of data that we can," said Spergel. NASA and the US government tend do favor the UAP acronym over the term UFO that was popularized in the 1950s, with one reason being that UAP does not specify that the sighting is in fact an object, leaving open other possibilities like atmospheric phenomena or even mirages. However, in announcing the study, NASA also blankly stated there was no evidence UAPs were extraterrestrial in origin. "We are not shying away from reputational risk," he added. NASA's science mission chief, Thomas Zurbuchen acknowledged the traditional scientific community might consider the agency was "kind of selling out" by venturing into the controversial topic. So there are things we don't understand," David Spergel, who formerly headed Princeton University's astrophysics department and who will lead the team, said. I can tell you we don't know what makes up 95% of the universe. "I spent most of my career as a cosmologist.

Don’t skip it, especially if the work you’re about to do consists of multiple steps. Whichever solution you choose, planning is a very important first step before you start working. Want to create something creative? Turn your cords into wall art or conceal them behind unique trim work. If you don’t want to spend any money, hide the cords behind other objects. If you want to go the traditional way, install a raceway and paint it the same color as your wall or get a TV stand that hides the wires. You can perform most methods within an hour or so. If you are tired of watching the unsightly wires under your TV, it’s time to take control and make them disappear. ![]() Another solution is to hide them behind an elevated TV stand.Īs you can see, you have multiple choices.

Use picture or wire hangers or adhesive strips (if the frame is lightweight enough) to hang the frame on the wall. If you want to hide power strips, surge protectors, and electrical cords on the floor, you can use the combination of a cable raceway and a standard cardboard box and cut holes in it for the cords. Opt for a model that allows you to quickly and easily add and remove cables even after the installation. Most of them come with a self-adhesive back, so you can mount them on the stand in a minute.
