"In all my years of playing football, I've never seen a touchdown like that on a blocked [punt]. I went ballistic," said Florida Gators junior defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, recalling how Saturday's game against the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns came to a thunderous conclusion right before his very eyes.
For most of the players on the field and many of the fans both in the stands and watching nationally the SEC Network affiliates, Saturday's game was an unexpected nail-biter and ended with a jolt that was equally unfathomable.
After tying the game 20-20 late in the fourth quarter, Florida kicked off to Louisiana-Lafayette, expecting the team to try and gain a first down in order to run out the final 1:42 of regulation and force overtime.
As head coach Will Muschamp explained:
"We score, I wanted to see what they were going to do. Obviously when they put [running back Alonzo Harris] in the game, which had been about 100 percent run in the game on first down, I knew we had two timeouts. I was going to hold it and see what they did on second down."
The Ragin' Cajuns ran the ball again, but Muschamp did not budge and allowed the clock to continue ticking down. After Harris ran a third time and was stopped three yards short of a first down, he called his first time out with 13 seconds left in regulation.
"I felt very good about what D.J. [Durkin] had for a [punt] block. I asked D.J. on the headsets, 'Do you feel good about [us] getting there?' He said, 'Absolutely.' So instead of taking this timeout after second down, I was going to take it to overtime and then try to block on third down. It just turns out it worked out well for us," Muschamp explained.
"They ran the ball there on third down. We called timeout. We had 13 seconds. I told [sophomore safety De'Ante Saunders], 'Don't field the ball – get away from it – we're going to try to block it.' I told D.J., 'Make sure we're safe just in case they might try and fake one.' He said, 'We got all the eligible [receivers] covered and we're going to go after it.' And I said, 'Absolutely. Let's go do it.'"
And "do it" the Gators did.
Read the rest of this story…after the break!
Sophomore cornerback Loucheiz Purifoy charged around the left protector, got his right hand squarely on the punted ball and popped it 12 yards backwards in the air. Redshirt junior Will linebacker Jelani Jenkins corralled it and ran it back 35 yards for the game-winning return touchdown with a caravan of four blockers leading the way.
LISTEN: Mick Hubert's call on the Gator Radio Network
Mick Hubert – OH MY!
"It was just a great play by Loucheiz when he got that block. He executed it perfectly, and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I was surprised I happened to be there, but it came right to me. I just tried to run as fast as I could," said Jenkins, who noted that it was "probably [the] No. 1" play of his collegiate career.
Purifoy said he saw Jenkins catch the ball and prayed that he was able to conclude the game on that very play. "I was just like, 'Run Jelani, please run, just get in the end zone so it can be over.'"
Muschamp was more than happy to heap on the praise after the game, noting that "it was a situation that was very well-executed by our players in a pressure situation and nicely designed by our staff."
He called Purifoy "a fantastic player and a guy that's really developed himself in his sophomore year," adding that "he just has a knack for blocking kicks and playing the ball downfield."
Muschamp also praised the intelligence of Jenkins, a physiology and kinesiology major whose grade point average is high but not as high as his head coach believed in his post-game comments.
"Jelani's got like a 3.8 [GPA]. He's a smart guy. He makes good decisions on the field. He's a really good football player," Muschamp said. "We seemed like we had a little bit of a convoy there to the end zone. It was an outstanding, very smart, intelligent play. I'm not being facetious; I'm being serious."
He then dead-panned, "I wish he ate those two seconds off so we didn't have to kick off, so that wasn't very smart on his part."
An explosive tackle by senior safety Josh Evans on the ensuing kickoff made those two lingering seconds on the game clock completely irrelevant.
The prior play, which helped the Gators avoid what may very well have been the worst loss in program history considering Florida had won 49-straight games against non-automatic qualifiers and had not fallen in such a contest since 1988, could not have been any more relevant.

I'm happy about the win of course but that's about it.
I really didn't think many could wear the 15 like Timmy did but Purifoy is giving all of us a reason to change that tune.
Can the whole offense wear the #15 because magic happens with it.
Glad we won whew. But it's time to fix whatever wrong with the O. Maybe we have the right QB in now.
Never seen a game quite like this. If the OL can't block better than that doesn't matter who is at qb. We'll get killed in Tally, can't score on anyone right now.
Not ready to toss this team aside just yet. Yes, I've felt disgusted many times this season. But I also think this may be my favorite Gator team to ever watch or root for. I'm a young'un, only 30, but was born and raised a Gator and I refuse to ever take anything for granted with the Gators. The roller coaster, the heart attacks…that's how I know I'm a Gator. It's how I know I'm watching the right team week after week.
One thing I will say about this team: They seem to be together. As in all in. Brissett sits the bench this year, Driskel gets hurt, Brissett's quote: "You're one snap away. Man down, man up."
I've never heard a guy blame somebody else on the team this year, not for anything. I've loved hearing the O talking about getting the D off the field….the D saying they want to give the O better opportunities…
And all in all, the season has exceeded my expectations. The O-line was a question mark going into the season. As was Gilly. As was Driskel. As was the defensive backfield. We've answered a lot of those questions in rather positive fashion given the state of the program. I don't think anyone can argue that we're moving in the right direction. Sure, UL-L was a major letdown. I'm just glad we didn't drop the Mizzou game given the massive emotional output the week before. Yes, this is an "ugly" team. BUT. Check that record. What's it gonna be at the end of the season? I'd bet it's gonna end up at least +1 (if not +2) from your pre-season expectations.
I love it. And I always will.
Our O-line is terrible right now..but I will give you that..plus 2 at least from my original expectations.
This certainly isn't a QB driven problem. It's funny how JD was good enough early, now not so much. Look at how bad our O line is playing! No push at all, horrible pass pro, Gilly's yardage has plummeted. Now Jacoby is gonna save us? Please folks there is a reason JD won the job and we haven't seen the backup until now……that unit is bad, not one player. Conversely, the other 2 units are fun to watch!
Great post Intuition, I totally agree. I think the O-line has struggled here of late. No blame to Jeff, he is getting the job done and getting better every week. My belief is the O-line has let him and Gilly down on some of our "tougher" games, wish they could channel "South Carolina" every week. Regardless, I am excited for the remainder of our year & cannot wait for next year having an entire year under Pease under our belts (I hope he doesn't leave us so soon). GO GATORS!!!!!!!! I love these kids….
I am so proud of the 2012 Florida Gator football Team. They handle all adversity. Give them 1 less turnover and we would be prefect on the season. Yes, I HATE GEORGIA…LOL. I was 3-0 against them as a player and after enduring those fans in Atlanta for 7 years I can't stand that our one loss had to be to a team that only beat 1 top 25 ranked team this season and that's us. Driskell deserved the start and he deserves to keep his job no matter the outcome. Brissett is very poised and he will chuck it downfield! Our O line is the real issue but coaching has kept that unit competing at least. I want Gilly to get his 1,000 yards so schools can stop negatively recruiting against us for that. We defend The Swamp and Coach Boom is only going to get better with time. Thank you Adam for this great blog and Go Gators!
My disappointment has been that we havent done a better job game planning around the weak o-line in the pass game and the loss of the run game of late

Bombardier lead the way in defining specific watercraft for specific users. 1992 was the year the 'luxury performance' watercraft customer was defined and a model was specifically designed for those looking for a more refined on-water experience through a more refined watercraft. The Sea-Doo GTX (Grand Touring with Extras) was born and again a new segment of the industry was introduced. With the GTX people experienced the maximum in engine and Direct Drive Jet Propulsion performance with the engine package introduced in the 1991 XP nestled in the shell of the GT three-seater package with – relative of the times – plush seating and high-end graphics and colorization.
With the launch of the GTX model the Sea-Doo three-seater line was complimented with a more value minded three-seater model, the Sea-Doo GTS. It was added to the line-up for the all around watersports family.
To promote the fact that the new Sea-Doo GT watercraft were more than capable of doubling as watercraft superstars and viable tow vehicles, Bombardier sponsored the budding Pro Wakeboard Tour. Anheuser-Busch, parents of Budweiser, sponsored ESPN's "Hot Summer Nights" programming that brought lifestyle sports to the mainstream during prime time Tuesday night summer programming. Part of this programming was the Pro WaterSki Tour and new Pro Wakeboard and Kneeboard Tour where half of the scored pulls were done behind the new Sea-Doo GTX. This marketing effort was done to promote the ability of the Sea-Doo three-seater watercraft in being more than capable of towing these new 'extreme' sports and characteristic of being easier and more economical than traditional inboard boats while towing.
Performance was further pushed following the introduction of the Sea-Doo XP. As the performance runabout continued to gain popularity the 1992 Sea-Doo XP was upgraded with V.T.S. (a manual Variable Trim system) in addition to the rear grab handle and twin carb and tuned pipe performance package. 1992 also marked the first IJSBA National racing Championship for runabouts in which Palm Bay, Florida racer Bo Dupriest claimed the first ever title aboard a Sea-Doo watercraft.

This is a simple to use and hear equalizer and amp. The presets make it easy to try different setups to find what sounds right to you. You can also set up your own custom EQ and save it. The amp lets you add some volume if you need it (I did). One word of advice, make sure you hit the refresh button to ensure your current selection is being used and ON. Thank you to the developer for an easy to use AMP/EQ. Well done.

Performance is very good in realtime, though I've not tested this on older machines in terms of CPU cost.
Something very important needs to be mentioned for new users leaving bad reviews:
To get this working, you will need to RESTART Firefox, after closing all instances and threads ! At least under Firefox 103.0.2 Linux 64bit.
The perfect feature addition for the future (perhaps as a paid option) would be realtime "Normalisation" or "Compression"/"Limiting". Someone else mentioned wanting a higher amplification boost, and this would necessitate processing to stop audio-clipping.

In my my previous post, I showed how we can use a WebJob to process a Service Bus queue and store the data in an Azure SQL database. This was pretty simple to set up, but it did require a good understanding of how to connect with these and process the data. Sometimes however we just want to do a quick integration without needing to set up all this plumbing. Recently Microsoft announced a new feature called Azure Functions, with now makes this possible. Azure functions can be used to create a small function which can run stand-alone, or be called from other applications, for example from a logic app, as has been described here by Sandro Pereira. Azure Functions provide out of the box connections for triggers, input and output to a lot of other Azure features, including Event Hubs, Service Bus, Azure Storage and DocumentDB. In this post I will show how we can process our message from the queue we created in this blogpost, and store it in an Azure Storage table. We will start by creating a new Function App in the portal.

IoT – Integration of Things: Processing Service Bus Queue Using WebJobs
This is the fifth post in my series on Integration of Things. In this post I showed how you can send messages from a Raspberry Pi 2 into a Service Bus Queue, and in our previous blogpost we have set up a library for connecting to an Azure SQL database. Today I will explain how we can use a WebJob to retrieve the messages from the queue and send them to our database. The code for this blogpost can be found here.
A WebJob is a simple way to set up a background job, which can process continuously or on a schedule. WebJobs differ from a cloud service (which we discussed in this blogpost) as it gives you get less fine-grained control over your processing environment, making it a more true PaaS service.
We will need a Web App to host our WebJob, so lets create one in the Azure Portal. You can create a new Web App by going to App Services, and selecting New.
IoT – Integration of Things: Entity Framework Code First And Azure SQL
This is the fourth post in my series on Integration of Things. In this post, we will use Entity Framework Code First to set up an Azure Sql database, which will later on be filled with the data we receive from our Service Bus Queue. As we will want to access this database from multiple projects, we will add it to the DataTypes Class Library we created in the previous blogpost. The code for this blogpost can be found here.
First we will create an empty database in Azure.

While the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding until your child is the age of 6 months for optimal development, at some point around then your baby will likely start gravitating towards solid foods and want to cut their teeth (literally).
There are two camps when it comes to introducing babies to solid foods, such as baby-led weaning (which is letting your infant feed themself solid foods from your plate), and puree (which is basically mush and helps ease babies toward more challenging textures). Here are 7 table foods that are relatively safe and healthy for junior to try. Remember to supervise your baby at all times during feeding and consult a pediatrician if you're not sure about their diet.
1. Baby Carrots
Carrots offer a significant array of vitamins including Vitamin C, B6, Iron, and Vitamin A, the latter giving carrots their reputation for maintaining eye health. Baby carrots are relatively easy to infants to handle, if they are cooked to a consistency that allows you to easily break them apart with your finger.
While you don't have to mash the carrots into little bits, it's wise to make sure the portions are small enough so they don't pose a choking hazard. That could mean cutting the carrots into smaller sections, and placing them on the baby's highchair a few at a time so they don't get overwhelmed.

Orange, CA (PRWEB) March 27, 2013
Broadview Mortgage, a mortgage bank located in the City of Orange, reports on the alternatives to avoid FHA mortgage insurance which are set to increase April 1st of this year.
"With the current state of the Mortgage Insurance Fund, the federal government is trying to minimize their risk. Raising rates is going to create a market for federal alternatives." says Scott Schang, Branch Manager for Broadview Mortgage. "FHA loans were never meant to be the staple of the mortgage industry, they were geared towards lower income first time buyers. In other words, to be used sparingly." says Schang.
According to the most recent data from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) states that 27% of home loans in 2011 were FHA loans. This is a significant decline from 40% in 2010. This trend mirrors HUD's goal of minimizing the amount of loans that they are insuring.
On April 1st, 2013 the monthly mortgage insurance premium (MIP) will be increasing by 10 basis points, which will affect the total loan amount that a homebuyer can afford. This is one of several times in recent years that FHA has increased their mortgage insurance premiums, which will mean that homebuyers will have to look at other loan options.
The frontrunners are loans offered by other government agencies such as the USDA for rural properties or VA loans for vets and their families. These are also insured by the federal government and are not without rising costs as well. The caveat being that you or your property must fit within a certain criteria to eligible.
Currently, non-government conventional loans through Fannie Mae and certain banks are available with similar requirements as FHA. They are more stringent when it comes to credit requirements and in some cases can require a higher down payment, a requirement not popular with most first time homebuyers in an uncertain economy.
As the press for more inventory continues and the housing market continues to recover, it will be critical for homebuyers to have options when it comes to their financing. Although it may seem that FHA has run it's course, it is still important for consumers to educate themselves before submitting their offers.
Broadview Mortgage is a community lender based in Orange, California that seeks to educate and empower homebuyers.

Peak season for empty legs
In the summer period, discounted empty leg flights reach their peak within Europe.
This is simply because empty leg availability is a reflection of overall market demand – the more 'standard' private jet charters there are, the more repositioning flights are required. And in the summer, we see a huge surge of private jet activity, due to additional leisure flights.
Empty legs can represent exceptional value, compared to normal private jet prices. And even sometimes prove cheaper than an equivalent airline cost per person. But they do require flexibility and come with different conditions to a usual private charter.
What is a private jet empty leg?
When a private jet is repositioning for its next booked flight, a new, one-way flight comes about, which has no booked passengers on it. This is called an empty leg – or sometimes an empty sector. As the aircraft is flying empty to its next location, the owner or operator is often prepared to offer this one-way flight at a big discount. This is frequently a fraction of the full price, as much as 75% off.
So if an aircraft on the ground in Paris is booked for a flight from Nice Cote D'Azur to Olbia, it will need to fly down to Nice to collect the passengers and begin its booked journey. So the Paris to Nice repositioning flight would be a potential empty leg.
Obviously the operator of the aircraft would prefer to sell this as a full price charter. But unlike airline flights, which are scheduled very tightly to avoid flying aircraft empty wherever possible, the private jet market is highly fragmented, with bespoke routes and schedules arranged to fit each customer's needs.
So in reality, it is often very difficult to sell this flight to a private jet customer at full price. The operator may therefore be happy to cover their costs by selling it as an empty leg.
What do empty legs cost?
There are some excellent offers emerging as private jet activity starts to rise in Europe. We're currently offering a flight on 5th August, from Munich to Liverpool, for £1,960 for a 9-seater aircraft – instead of £13,890. If you filled all the seats, that's a cost per person of just £218. Here are some other examples of current offers for European flights:
|Rome Ciampino
|Nice Cote d'Azur
|Cessna 510 Mustang
|£1 400
|Nice Cote d'Azur
|London Stansted
|Cessna 510 Mustang
|£2 700
|London Farnborough
|Avignon Caumont
|Beech 390 Premier
|£3 850
|London Biggin Hill
|Cessna 510 Mustang
|£3 250
|Mahon Menorca
|Bristol Intl
|Cessna C525 Citation CJ2
|£2 750
It's possible to see prices drop even lower than this so it can pay to keep a close eye on the latest empty leg offers. Last summer we saw flights from London to Cannes on offer at £1,200 for a 7-seater aircraft – or from just £171 per person. That worked out less than a low cost airline flight. See more European empty legs, USA empty legs and global empty legs.
What are the disadvantages of an empty leg flight?
While you still experience the same efficiency, VIP service levels, comfort and privacy, an empty leg doesn't offer the same advantages as a normal private jet flight. Offers are coming and going all the time and can be subject to last minute changes – if the original charter (which has created the need to reposition) changes its departure time for example, this would have a knock on impact on the empty leg.
And of course private jet empty legs are usually one-way flights. While a return flight can occasionally be matched up, you are most likely to enjoy a private jet experience in one direction, but then need to make a different way home.
But if you are prepared to be flexible; book at the last minute; and travel as a group, it can be a way to experience a private jet flight for a price close to that usually seen on an airline ticket.
How can I find out about the latest empty leg offers?
At PrivateFly, we're integrated with over 7,000 private jet aircraft globally, and we offer empty legs all over the world.
We're now integrated with the scheduling software for many leading, global operators, which allows us to see a live feed of their available empty legs – as well giving instant pricing and booking for standard private charter flights (see A new era for online private jet booking).
The best way to keep up to date with the latest empty leg offers? Download the PrivateFly app, which allows you to search for empty legs by airport.

Wham City returning to Troy; Dan Deacon at MASS MoCA
The Wham City comedy tour will be back in Troy April 17 at 51 3rd Street. Blurbage:
The Wham City Comedy Tour is a two-hour cross-genre variety show, showcasing the very best from Baltimore's award-winning artist collective and fabled party starters. Expect stand-up sets, videos, dramatic monologues, and ensemble sketches in a tightly-run, visionary performance.
Wham City is a Baltimore-based arts collective that includes Dan Deacon. Or, as it was described in a SPIN article a few years back, "a collective of hilarious weirdos that dig on the absurd." The group was last here in 2011.
Show starts at 8:30 pm. There's an $8 suggested donation.
Speaking of Dan Deacon...
He's playing a show at MASS MoCA April 20 at 8 pm. Tickets are $12 ahead / $16 day of / $10 students.
Deacon also now has a mobile app, which reacts during his shows. (He used it on Jimmy Kimmel in December.) From an interview with the Phoenix New Times last fall: "Culturally, phones are there. There's no way we're gonna remove them and people aren't gonna not use them so we might as well find a way to incorporate them into our work rather than pretend they don't exist."
Or, as the app's page at iTunes remarks: "For the first time, having your phone out at a concert is not a jerk move."

2019 Mitsubishi L200
Transferring up a league doesn't always bring success. The rewards could also be better, however the competition can be more durable. So it's for the 2019 Mitsubishi L200. The one-time Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage rival has been reinvented as a more expensive SUV, so now it's up in opposition to formidable prestige-badged competitors such because the BMW X1.
Thankfully, the brand new 2019 Mitsubishi L200 builds on the strengths of the authentic, offering more space, a classier really feel and improved efficiency. It's still designed primarily for on-road use, but four-wheel-drive 4Motion variations now characteristic adjustable drive modes that allow you to deal with totally different circumstances.
Engines range from a 1.Four-litre petrol with 123bhp to a 2.Zero-litre twin-turbo diesel with 237bhp, although the lowest-powered models come with front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox only. If you need an automatic 'box and four-wheel drive, you'll need to take a look at engines with 148bhp and above.
Read on over the subsequent few pages for all the pieces you have to know about the 2019 Mitsubishi L200, including which engine and trim to decide on. And do not forget to visit our new automobile deals to see if you will get a decent low cost off a 2019 Mitsubishi L200.
One of the best-selling 2019 Mitsubishi L200 is the 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel model (badged 2.0 TDI 150) and it's easy to see why; it presents a superb blend of performance and gas economic system, whereas the cheaper 115 model (with 113bhp) feels slightly wanting puff. There's also a 190 model of the 2.0 TDI engine that delivers loads of punch however is relatively dear, whereas the range-topping 240 version brings yet extra pace for an even more eyebrow-raising price.
In the event you're more taken with petrol power, the entry-level 125 mannequin puts out 123bhp from its turbocharged 1.Four-litre engine. Nevertheless, whereas it's probably the most affordable mannequin within the vary, it struggles a bit up inclines, especially when loaded up to the gunnels. The 150 model is best, but nonetheless lacks the low-rev pulling power of the diesels.
As for the 2.0-litre 180 petrol engine, it feels quick and is fast off the line, due to all-wheel drive coming as commonplace. It doesn't fairly have the in-gear flexibility of the diesels, although, but around city you'll have little challenge with the respectable efficiency it provides and out on the motorway there's no downside overtaking.
By small SUV standards, the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 rides very nicely indeed. It smooths over bigger imperfections, reminiscent of pace bumps, higher than the BMW X1, but the suspension remains to be agency enough to stop the body from bouncing up and down too much along undulating roads.
Patched up roads and damaged Tarmac can unsettle the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 a little bit – especially when you select a version with big alloy wheels – however compared with its key rivals the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 is comfy. Even the sporty R-line trim is bearable, if inferior to lesser fashions. If you need a more settled trip, you may want to choose one thing with a decrease centre of gravity, equivalent to a VW Golf.
We wouldn't trouble with the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 non-compulsory adaptive suspension. It does not improve the ride that a lot and there are extra worthwhile extras to spend your cash on.
The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 handles extra like a traditional hatchback than a lot of its SUV rivals; it is genuinely gratifying to drive. Some might feel the steering is somewhat too mild, nevertheless it's exact, making the automobile simple to put on the highway. There isn't too much physique roll by corners and all variations have loads of grip, although the four-wheel-drive 4Motion models unsurprisingly supply better traction in slippery circumstances.
True, the X1 and Seat Ateca are even more agile by way of the twisty bits, however the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 outshines most different small SUVs, together with the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage. The R-line mannequin is available with sports activities suspension however this doesn't make the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 any extra enjoyable.
4Motion models add a dial next to the gearlever that means that you can choose completely different modes depending on the terrain and provoke a hill descent system. An extra possibility is adaptive chassis control – this lets you stiffen or soften the suspension to prioritise either experience comfort or flatter dealing with.
The petrol engines are especially clean, even when being labored onerous, and whereas the diesels sound a bit clattery at tickover and while you actually put your foot down, they're nonetheless muted at a cruise and much from raucous when accelerating. That mentioned, the diesel engines within the rival X1 are slightly quieter.
At high speeds, you'll hear a flutter of wind noise around the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 door mirrors, however nearly no road noise unless you opt for a version with really big alloy wheels. The manual gearbox is mild and easy to make use of, while the DSG automated is clean and soothing the vast majority of the time, with solely the occasional jerk at low speeds.

Bill pointed out the old Jubilee House on the other side of the street, and its garage fences practically yelled at me to take a photograph :)
No fence in this shot, but that apartment was just above the garage. The building is to be torn down. I hope the person working at his/her desk will be able to move into the new one.
At the 127 Society for Housing site, I found some testimonials about the old building. This first one, written by a tenant, really hit home:
"I found out about Jubilee House when they were building it, and I was sleeping in a nearby storage closet…"
- A Tenant at Jubilee House
This second one, written by a community worker, gives a lengthier explanation of the services provided for residents in a building such as this.
The meal programs offer the tenants the ability to get to know their neighbors, build friendships and an opportunity to participate in preparing and serving the food at the meal.
The low cost food store is very beneficial for the tenants that are aging as their health does not always allow them to go out to stores to shop. For those tenants that volunteer working in the stores, it has given them a sense of commitment, reliability and increased self esteem; it has also allowed them a comfort level to show their personality and sense of humor to other tenants.
Having a Community Worker on staff on a full time basis creates a safe environment for tenants to voice concerns about everyday living in an apartment building. A sense of trust has also developed to just drop by and let you know how their day or life is going."
- Lindsey Miller – Community Worker at Jubilee House
and this one, just steps away, borders Emery Barnes Park. (BIll found another dry spot where we could stand for this shot.)
The rain became heavier and heavier as we walked home. I took this last shot from inside our apartment as dusk fell. It has absolutely nothing to do with fences (unless you imagine the ones on balconies in that building in the background), but after a five-day absence, Tupper's return to the neighbourhood is cause for celebration. We got up from the supper table, rushed outside, and stood in the rain to give her a few handfuls of the salmon dog treats Black Jack allows us to share. Both of us felt ridiculously happy, even as the rain dripped from our eyelashes :)

There is a difference between sorrow and despair. Sorrow is pain for which there are sources of consolation. Sorrow comes from losing one good thing among others, so that, if you experience a career reversal, you can find comfort in your family to get you through it. Despair, however, is inconsolable, because it comes from losing an ultimate thing. When you lose the ultimate source of your meaning or hope, there are no alternative sources to turn to. It breaks your spirit.
What is the cause of this 'strange melancholy' that permeates our society even during boom times of frenetic activity, and which turns to outright despair when prosperity diminishes? De Tocqueville says it comes from taking some 'incomplete joy of this world' and building your entire life on it. That is the definition of idolatry.

In reading a recent interview with Quentin Tarentino for his new movie Grindhouse, he refers to the Carson Twin Cinema theatres in Carson as a place he used to watch movies when he was a kid. This sparked a bit of nostalgia in me, as I used to also go to the Carson Twin almost every weekend to watch movies from 1984 to 1986. Granted, this was about eight years or so after Tarantino, but surely the theatre had not changed in that time, it wasn't even remodeled!
My mom used to drop me off at the Carson Twin on her way to the Samerika Bingo parlor that was located just down the street, at Avalon Blvd. and 223rd Street. The theatre was located on Avalon Blvd. at the North end of a dilapidated strip mall called the Scottsdale Shopping Center that was located at the intersection of Scottsdale Drive. The theatre itself was a separate box shaped building adjacent to this sleezy Ranchero Mexican Bar that was located at the end of the strip mall. I remember seeing the scantily clad "bar ladies" getting dropped off in the early evening by their "boyfriends" or pimps, I'm not sure which.
I remember everything about that place. The movies were NEVER first run. The lobby was bare except for a badly stocked concession counter and a lone Galaga video game machine. The staff was mostly Samoan kids from Carson who knew the security guys at the Samerika Bingo hall down the street. I became good friends with those guys and had good laughs discussing the crappy films I saw there. I remember one of the guys was crazy good at Galaga and would play for thirty minutes on one quarter. I tried to beat his high score, but never could.
The theatre had crappy stained carpet in the lobby and down the aisles and there were only two cramped rectangular auditoriums, hence the name "Twin." The walls were not particularly thick and there was crappy sound dampening, so if there was an action movie next to the one you were watching the explosions would echo into the adjacent theatre. That kinda sucked. The chairs were all pretty thrashed, the floors between the seats were sticky, but the place was clean, for the most part.
I remember this old white guy used own it, but he didn't spend much time there. Or at least, I really didn't see him much. I mostly remember the big Samoan kids that ran the place. Watching a movie was an experience there because everyone would talk to at the screen, and the kids were funny! The comments were as much a part of the movie as the movie itself. Watching "Friday the 13th," "Halloween," and other terror films there was a awesome, I really looked forward to it. There were also a lot of teenage coming of age films shown there a lot like "Class," "My Bodyguard," "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," and "Porky's." It was really just an excuse to show some T&A.
Occasionally, fights would break out amongst older kids in the theatre while a movie was going on. This sometimes would happen when Kung Fu features were being played. I guess the fighting on screen would inspire some of the kids to try some Kung Fu on each other. Fights were usually stopped pretty quickly though and I always felt safe there. I remember "Game of Death" would play a lot at there. They must have owned the reel and put it on about twice a year. I love that film.
By all definition, the Carson Twin Cinema was a grindhouse theatre that shaped the way I see film today. I am not surprised that Tarantino used to frequent the same place. Even though he was there a few years before me. I eventually worked at the Video Shack, a small video store in Wilmington to complete my self-taught film appreciation degree. Thanks Quentin, for reminding me about the Carson Twin and the good ol' days in Wilmington and Carson once more.

Good read. Thanks! Takes me back to my childhood.
Used to watch the kung-fu flicks and early T&A stuff. I loved this place! Samoans w/big afros, gangsters and hot buttered popcorn. What's not to love about that???
#1 by Rich C. — February 26, 2008 @ 8:21 pm
Loved the article.Brought me back to the days of saving my allowance to go the movies. I remember sneaking into see The Hills Have Eyes.Freaked me out, creepy ass movie.
I remember sneaking into the other side when security wasnt watching. and yes the carpet was gross!! but what memories. thanks
#2 by deanna — February 17, 2010 @ 6:47 am
Yes, this place was cool. Dollar to get in and watch 2 movies. I remember watchin Dawn of the Dead when it first a came out. Popcorn was da bomb. Kung Fu and Scary flixs were the best! The only store that's still alive is Foods Co now called Payless foods.

Dam My father ran that Bingo Hall , It was just like he said it was , bad carpet gum stands Ku fu kids , pops drop me off while we watch Ku Fu flicks all day Walther Clark.

Born and raised in Carson, I remember riding my bike here to watch movies. Eventually the Samoan staff were replaced after a man who was Chinese bought the theater and hired more responsible staff. My brother ended up working here and I used to spend all day at the Carson Twin during the summer in the mid 80's. I even worked behind the counter selling candy and tickets. The owner was cool and I used to go up in the projection room, walk in and out of the two theaters, eat free popcorn and candy, and play free video games because the owner would open up the games and trip the mechanism to give me free credits. I saw James Bond "A View to a Kill" here, "Goonies". I used to repair/splice the celluloid film when it broke during a movie so it would keep playing. The film was huge and use to take up giant tables they laid on. We would have to run the film through the projector and on to another huge table. Then after the movie ended you would get the beginning of the film, run it through the projector and run the movie in the opposite direction. The film weighed like 100's of pounds. Thanks to digital now that no longer is done, and no more loud projector room, with the projector clacking away. Great memories at Carson Twin. I live about 6 blocks from the original site, now replaced by condos.

my 2 friends and i used to see the b-movies there. sometimes my sister and her friends would go with us. i remember the chinese owner. this was between 1984-1986. i saw purple rain, indiana jones and temple of doom, a lot of b-horror flicks. i remembert every friday, the daily breeze newspaper had a coupon on fridays for the carson twin. it was a 2 for 1 coupon.

How about the huge rats that use to crawl around the ugly curtains of the theaters. Also, the popcorn came out of huge bags and were pre-popped. Those were the days!

I worked at the Straw Hat Pizza Palace that was 50 yards from the Carson Twin. We used to get into movies for free and give some of the theater workers free pizza. 1 year BEFORE Billy Jack came out it was audience tested at the Carson Twin and I got in for free. The theater ran LOTS of the Kung Fu movies in 72-74 timeframe.

I was born in Torrance in 1958, and lived the first 20 plus years in Torrance and Carson. Attended Bonita, Carnegie and Carson HS. Went to at least a dozen movies in my teens here at the Carson Twin Cinemas. Saw Gone With The Wind here in a revival showing. Also saw B grade movies like 'Bug' with Bradford Dillman, 'SSSSSSS' with Strother Martin and 'Macon County Line' with Max Baer Jr., better known as Jethro from The Beverly Hillbillies. My strongest memory of the theatre was seeing 'Billy Jack' in 1973 or 1974. At the time it was a reasonably nice theatre with modest prices. It was connected to the Scottsdale Shopping Center. Had fond memories going to the Carson Public Library located there in the early 70s. The shopping center also included, from what I can recall, a Straw Hat Pizza Parlor. Ate there quite a few times. What was great about the pizza place was it had a PONG video game! Played it over and over with friends. It also had one of those old analog style trivia game machines. The things you remember from your younger days!

Tower 57 takes the approach of bringing retro, from the look to the gameplay into the modern day. The game was a success on Kickstarter, but when it couldn't reach the stretch goals make it onto consoles, 11 bit studios stepped in to make this a reality. Tower 57 is inspired by Amiga games of the past like The Chaos Engine, and Tower 57 is a roguelike that provides destruction, humor, and diesel-punk in some interesting ways – it just doesn't seem to come together like it should.

Judge sets September deadline on Clinton office records
A federal judge is giving the State Department until September to comply with a conservative group's request for records relating to correspondence between top aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, as well as a consulting business involving former Clinton staffers.
At a hearing Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan said he felt both sides in the case—the government and the Citizens United organization—were not being flexible enough in hammering out a path forward in the Freedom of Information Act dispute.
"You're being unreasonable," Sullivan told lawyers for both parties. He said he understood the State Department was being "flooded" with records requests in the wake of the revelation in March of Clinton's use of a personal email account as her sole account while serving as secretary, but that didn't mean it could keep forestalling Citizens United's requests, made last year.
"I can only imagine you're dealing with requests, but these are hot topics now," said Sullivan, who was appointed by President Bill Clinton.
Justice Department lawyer Caroline Anderson said State is struggling and that speeding up Citizens United's request inveitably means slowing down someone else's.
"The Department of State is overwhelmed right now," Anderson said. "When requests are [taken] out of order that does affect other requesters."
In the requests, Citizens United sought records from State of correspondence between Hillary Clinton's Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills or Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin and personnel at the Clinton Foundation, as well as communications between Abedin and officials of consulting firm Teneo. One request also asked for records of contacts between former State Department official Kris Balderston and Teneo founder Doug Band.
Anderson said State had completed a couple of the searches and was working on the other two. She indicated the agency was willing to start turning records over to the conservative group by July 13 and to finish doing so by September 13.
In a written order filed after the hearing, Sullivan gave State until September 21 to explain what it was withholding and why. The judge set legal arguments over the search and any withheld records for December 16.
Sullivan ultimately called the proposed schedule "very reasonable." However, earlier in the hearing he warned that he wouldn't allow the case to drag.
"Here's the deal: I'm not going to extend the time," the judge said. "[Your] motions for extensions? Keep them in the word processor."
The State Department has said in court filings that many of its FOIA-related personnel are currently engaged in reviewing for release 55,000 pages of emails Clinton sent to her former agency in December, after State sent four former secretaries requests for any work-related records in their possession. The department said beginning in March that it expected that review to take several months, but it has resisted pledging to complete the review by a specific date.
It's unclear whether State would have any or many emails responsive to the Citizens United requests. The agency acknowledged early this year that it only began automatically preserving the emails of senior staffers in February. Prior to that, the department relied primarily on a so-called 'print-and-file' policy that led to only a fraction of email being preserved.
In a separate FOIA lawsuit brought by Vice News, another federal judge has given State until May 19 to propose a deadline for release of the trove of Clinton messages.

Big Heart Pet Brands' third quarter net income was US$33 million, down from US$34.2 million the previous year.
The company's operating income was up 26.8% to US$104.5 million, driven partially by new products sales. Net sales were up 2.5% to US$589.9 million, due to the success of Milk-Bone Brushing Chews, the relaunch of Milo's Kitchen, Meow Mix Tender Centers with Vitality Bursts, and Kibbles n' Bits American Grill.
"Big Heart Pet Brands delivered solid results as our investments in innovation continued to build momentum," said Dave West, president and CEO of Big Heart Pet Brands. "Our snacks portfolio, particularly Milk-Bone and Milo's Kitchen, once again delivered strong growth as we continue to expand our leadership in dog snacks."
In February, the J.M. Smucker Company announced that it will acquire Big Heart Pet Brands for US$5.8 billion, including US$2.6 billion of net debt. The purchase marks Smucker's entrance into the petfood and snacks category and expands its overall presence in consumer packaged goods.
"We are looking forward to joining Smucker," West said. "Given the strong alignment of the companies' purpose and values, I'm confident that Smucker is a great fit. Our iconic petfood and snack brands have significant growth potential and Smucker will provide the resources as well as the scale to help our brands continue to grow."

When someone asks you why you love HEAVY METAL so much – What do you say?
Well, I just say "Wolfsbane." Because this is the band that always manages to tick every one of my boxes. They fit ALL of my required parameters.
Go through my Metal Checklist if you don't believe me:
· Metal supplies the courage you need to face the day √
· Metal provides the vitality you need when you feel depleted √
· Metal awakens your senses √
· Metal forces you to think about life and death √
· Metal creates its own gravity so that you can keep your feet on the ground √
· Metal is strong enough to sweep away your nagging worries √
· Metal gives you the ability to smile at yourself √
· Metal makes you feel that you belong √
· Metal has a tradition and a culture that you can buy into √
– © Neil Mach –
So when I heard that these demigods of metal were playing live at their home-turf in Tamworth I just had to go up to the Midlands and honor them. And to remind myself of the reasons why I am devoted to the Religion of Metal.
The band came out to rapturous applause and quickly took over the two huge trailers that made-up the big stage. Kicking off with 'Limo' (from the "Did It For The Money" EP) and those ridiculously powerful percussive rings – played along with the most vindictively sharp riffs this side of the Chattahoochee River – this song immediately reminded us of "The Bad Boys from Boston" playing a number written by Def Leppard. And we do not mean that disrespectfully – it's meant as the highest complement.
Then 'Black Lagoon' (from 'Down Fall The Good Guys') thundered into play. This song has some roaring, penetrating guitars and wide panoramas of voice. And the "Black Lagoon" hook made so much sense to us … and it caused our knees to jitter and our heads to spin cartwheels of blurred delight.
The open field at Tamworth Castle Grounds was a dark and desperate place, even at 4 o'clock in the afternoon when these monsters came onto stage. It was a typical weekend in August. Wet windy and depressing. With an evil touch of cold in the air to weaken our bones. The dank sky really eroded any resolution we might have had. Yet, when when Tamworth's finest started out on their 'Blue Sky' number from "Wolfsbane Save The World" we all started to believe in a better day. That startling introduction – a guitar solo from Jase Edwards – brought a smile to even the most derelict looking metal-heads that stood shivering in the big field. Then the relentlessly fat rhythms picked up. The accompaniment broke down for a few moments – so that Blaze could roar out the verse. And after that, a charcoal-black murmuring bass line started to chortle and wheeze, and we all headed (in concert) "For the blue sky…" Superb.
"Money to Burn" was as fast as a laser beam fired inside a supersonic cockpit. And the guitars were as pointed and as sharp as obsidian hell. Then we were all treated to a bundle of classic riffs. And a voice that dripped sweat and glistened like syrup. Yes, we all sang: "I Like it Hot." And we swayed together.
After that came a high point of the show. "Kathy Wilson". It is the most 'Maidenish' of all the songs from Wolfsbane. It burns like sulfur straight from the ashes. The guitars create a mesh of barbed-wire vibrations – against which the story is lovingly re-told. In this epic piece, Wolfsbane manage to create a vividly real landscape – even though it's total fantasy – but nonetheless it's as mesmerizing as one of your own dreams – and totally engrossing.
Other great moments at Tamworth included "Temple Of Rock" and the life-affirming knee-knocker that is "Paint The Town Red" from the 'All Hell's Breaking Loose Down At Little Kathy Wilson's Place" recording.
But the best moment of all was that howling viper of a song "EZY". It's like all the greatest classic rock moments that you have ever heard. Put into one basket. And delivered. It had the lot. Shimmies of drums, jiving riffs and piping hot vocals. And the"EZY baby…" chorus made us all wheeze,weep and wee in unison. Brilliant.

A value idea you'll probably hate.
You may not have heard of this stock or recognize the name as it is one of those Companies that has changed its name to try and reinvent itself and its image. The stock is now called Connect which sounds like an exciting tech or electronic stock but is in fact what used to be Smiths News the newspaper and magazine wholesaler / distributor. As you can see from the chart below it has had something of a roller coaster ride in recent times.
So what's the story here and why do I think it is a good value idea? Well firstly they are in the process of diversifying their business by using the cash flow from the news side to buy into and develop other divisions such as books and educational supplies. They aim to have less than 50% of their business in the news side within a couple of years. They have also managed to secure over 50% of the news business with contracts out to 2019 providing some visibility in what is otherwise a declining business.
The balance sheet is geared and a bit weird as they have a big negative £280.1 million balance in other assets which according to the report and accounts: "relates to reserves created following the capital reorganisation undertaken as part of the demerger of WH Smith PLC in 2006.The balance represented the difference between the share capital and reserves of the Group restated on a pro-forma basis as at 31 August 2004 and the previously reported share capital." Otherwise the net debt is not too high at between 1 to 1.5x EBITDA versus a 2.5x covenant, interest cover is 13.9x versus a 3x covenant and fixed charge coverage was 5.3x versus 2x covenant. Finally their Pension deficit seems to be around £56.9 million (Source: Annual Report).
The shares also stand on a relatively low rating of 7.4x P/E with a 2x covered 6.5% yield probably reflecting investors scepticism about the sustainability of the business in the long term. However this is despite the fact that they have managed to move earnings and dividends ahead modestly in the last few years. Looking at the chart above it looks like the shares are finding support around the 150 pence level having sold off aggressively since the start of the year on no great change to the outlook. With final results due next month including a chunky final dividend a return to the 180 pence level to close the gap on the chart might afford a decent trading profit if you did not want to hold it for the long run.
I am also encouraged by their disclosures about major shareholder list which includes some good value houses such Aberforth Partners and Silchester Investments. You can get a copy of their report and accounts and other information about the group at their investor relations site and they also provide a useful corporate overview which you can connect to by clicking the image below if you don't hate this idea too much.

Real estate markets traditionally suffer from the summertime blahs — but Silicon Valley is not a normal market, particularly in Santa Clara County.
With the housing supply at historically low levels, the median price for a single square foot of residential property keeps rising in several Silicon Valley cities. In Los Altos, a square foot was worth $1,291 in August, up 4 percent from July. In Palo Alto, a square foot was worth $1,499, also up 4 percent; in Sunnyvale, $994, up 7.0 percent; and in Los Altos Hills, $1,412, again up 7 percent.
That's a 7 percent increase in a single month, a dramatic surge.
Even more unusual is this: While sales have fallen across the Bay Area — largely as a result of the region's tight housing supply — they have risen markedly in Santa Clara County.
A report issued this week by the CoreLogic real estate information service shows that July home sales were down across the nine-county region — but up 13.0 percent in Santa Clara County from the year before. That was despite the fact that the county's inventory – the number of homes available for sale – was down about 30 percent from the same period in 2016.
Naturally, the median price of a single-family home is rising as buyers compete for the slim offerings. It was up 11 percent year-over-year in the county, where the median price of a single-family home stood at $1,097,000 in July.
"I haven't heard anyone arguing that the market is cooling here," said Alex Seroff, an agent with DeLeon Realty in Palo Alto. "Sellers are still emboldened and expect high prices, and buyers are still very motivated and willing to do what it takes to get houses."
He rolled out additional numbers for the month of August, drawn from the Multiple Listing Service. (The median prices per square foot were also derived from the MLS.)
Active listings were down from the month before in five cities in the heart of Silicon Valley. They fell 45 percent in Sunnyvale; 28 percent in Los Altos; 24 percent in Palo Alto; and 16 percent in Mountain View (where the value of a square foot was flat, at $1,061). Los Altos Hills' inventory increased 6 percent, though the statistical sample was tiny — the number of listings increased from 31 to 33.
"Inventory is now so low that trying to derive meaningful statistics is challenging," Seroff conceded. "The sample sizes are so small."
Even so, to see prices consistently rising month-over-month in the summertime is a bit startling for longtime market observers.
Looking at the same five cities, these were August's median prices for a single-family home: Sunnyvale, up 3 percent month-over-month to $1.36 million; Mountain View, up 3 percent to $1.5 million; Palo Alto, up 3 percent to $2.67 million; Los Altos, up 3 percent to $2.87 million; and Los Altos Hills, up 1 percent to $3.95 million.
Now, how are home sales increasing in Santa Clara County?
Andrew LePage, a research analyst for CoreLogic, guessed why: "Buyers are burning through whatever inventory there is, really fast."
And there is no shortage of buyers — many of them well-heeled — in Santa Clara County, where so many tech giants are located and jobs, generally, have lately been on the rebound.
Santa Clara County added 7,400 jobs during July, according to a report from the Employment Development Department. That was the strongest growth in the Bay Area, which added 21,000 jobs as a whole. It was the strongest month of hiring for the region this year – and for Santa Clara County.
"I've heard people say Silicon Valley is the 51st state," said Mark Wong, an Alain Pinel agent in Saratoga. "We have our own culture and our own economy, and our housing prices defy gravity."

What are the Different Types of Walkway Molds?
Walkway molds made from plastic or metal can make creating a distinctive and useful walkway easy and quick. Molds come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and the finished product can be made to mimic cobblestone, brick, stone, or other custom shapes that are more decorative. Some walkway molds can even be custom-made to fit a builder's specifications, though these are more expensive. Concrete is poured into the walkway molds to form the specific shapes outlined by the molds, and the color of the concrete can be changed with iron oxide pigments. This allows the concrete to mimic the color of brick, or other custom colors.
The most common walkway molds are made to form the shape of cobblestones, though not always necessarily evenly shaped cobblestones. The size and shape of the cobbles varies depending on the mold, and a buyer has a fair amount of choices for the particular application of the mold. A wider, longer walkway might benefit from larger cobbles, while a smaller walkway might look better with smaller, rectangular cobbles. The aesthetic is entirely up to the builder, and plenty of molds exist from which to choose.
Some walkway molds are meant to mimic the shape of a brick pathway. The molds are set out in a grid pattern meant to look like laid bricks, and by adding an iron oxide pigment to the concrete, the finished product will look very much like actual bricks. The texture may be different, however, so the builder may have to spend a bit of time modifying the look of the concrete before it sets. Other walkway molds are meant to mimic the look of rough stones, so the shapes are uneven and the surface of the stones can also be made to look and feel uneven. Such a mold is often used for garden pathways to complement the raw, earth-like look of the garden.
Other molds can be made to look more ornate. The finished, set concrete can be made to look like specific patterns or designs, from birds to Celtic knots or any other design the maker chooses. Custom molds can also be purchased to fit a specific pattern the homeowner or builder chooses. If the homeowner is particularly enterprising, he or she can make his or her own molds to fit a specific pattern or shape. Store-bought molds are usually made from plastic, but custom molds can be made from wood or metal to make fashioning one much easier.
Discussion Comments
I never realized how many choices of brick walkway designs there were until I started planning a garden walkway.
I have always loved a cobblestone look, and thought this would be a great do-it-yourself project.
The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you know how deep the mold is before buying it. Some of them are much deeper than I wanted, and it took me awhile to find exactly what I was looking for.
I realize the deeper the mold, the sturdier it will be, but I was looking for a slightly smaller cobblestone look. You will also need less concrete if you go with a shallower mold.
I know it is not real cobblestone, but I would not hesitate to use walkway concrete molds for other projects in the future.
@sunshined - If you are familiar with using concrete, you already know how to do the most difficult part.
Neither my husband or I had any experience using concrete before we bought some concrete walkway molds.
Between asking a lot of questions at the store and watching videos online, we thought it would be pretty easy.
We installed a walkway under an arbor that led to a small pond. The molds we bought worked really well, and the process went quicker than I thought it would.
The concrete set fast enough that we didn't have to wait too long before setting the next mold. We used the same mold over and over again and even when we were done, it isn't in bad shape.
If we wanted to do another walkway the same length, I think the molds we purchased would work just as well the second time around.
I am in the process of landscaping our back yard, and have 2 small areas where I would like to have a walkway with stepping stones.
These walkway molds sound like something that would work perfectly. I plan on doing most of the work myself because I don't have a big budget to work with.
I am somewhat familiar with concrete work, so don't think I would have any trouble using these molds.
I am just wondering how well they hold up? Would I need to purchase several of these molds, or would one last me for the entire project?

Accurate measurement of digital divides is important for policy purposes. Empirical studies on broadband subscription gaps have largely used cross-sectional data, which cannot speak to the timing of technological adoption. Yet, the dynamics of a digital divide are important and deserve study. With the goal of improving our understanding of appropriate techniques for analyzing digital divides, we review competing econometric methodology and propose the use of duration analysis. We compare the performance of alternative estimation methods using a large dataset on DSL subscription in the U.S., paying particular attention to whether women, blacks, and Hispanics catch up to others in the broadband adoption race. We conclude that duration analysis best captures the dynamics of the broadband gaps and can be a useful addition to the analytic tool box of digital divide researchers. Our results support the official collection of broadband statistics in panel form, where the same households are followed over time.

One of the funniest moments in Baby Driver seems to have become a popular Halloween costume.
In the Edgar Wright summer blockbuster, a mix-up among a trio of robbers results in Austin Powers masks being used for a heist rather than masks of the Halloween antagonist Michael Myers (the joke being that the fictitious killer and actor have the same name).
Apparently, the idea of going to parties as one of confused robbers is a hot ticket item as the Austin Powers masks have sold out on costume sites and are not available on Amazon or eBay. And at least one Halloween site contacted by The Hollywood Reporter is kicking itself for not thinking to order some of the swinger-spy masks.
Wright could not be more delighted by the news.
"I'm very proud. I feel like through my career, I have given people some very easy Halloween costumes, like Shaun in Shaun of the Dead," Wright tells THR. "I even mentioned to Warner Bros. [which released Austin Powers under New Line Cinema] that they may ship a lot of masks at Halloween, and I think that's exactly what's happened."
Wright explains that in his Ansel Elgort starrer, the Austin Powers mask moment happened out of necessity, because the original bit had to be altered.
Initially, only one of the masks was going to be an Austin Powers, but the other two would be the correct slasher masks, making just one of the trio look silly. But the Baby Driver production could not get clearance in time to use the horror masks, so, with Myers' and Warners' blessing, the script was altered to three Austin Powers masks.
Myers is entertained that the masks are so popular. "I'm equally proud of my work as the killer in Halloween as I am for my work in Austin Powers," Myers tells THR.
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery turned 20 this year, which may also be part of the reason the mask is in such high demand. Still, the assumption, at least from one costume retailer, is that Baby Driver is the primary catalyst. And the sudden clamoring for the masks left HalloweenCostumes.com wishing it had seen the trend coming.
"We unfortunately never have carried it, but is definitely something we will need to think of bringing on!" says company spokesman Ross Smith.
The Baby Driver director did not keep a mask for himself, which he regrets.
"I didn't think about that, but I probably should have," Wright says, adding, "The other funny thing about it that was once Jamie [Foxx] was in the mask, he started providing extra dialogue, so there are a lot of extra Austin Powers-isms. It was funny to have Jamie Foxx, Oscar-winning actor, wearing a rubber Mike Myers mask."
