#Alan Sellars

Jim Dine (American, b.1935)

untitled print from the series of Ten Winter Tools (water pump pliers) - lithograph on paper - 70.8 × 55.4 cm - 1973

Dine believes that tools provide a 'link with our past, the human past, the hand'

I worked for a tool collector (Alan Sellars) for many years, displaying his collection on perhaps 150 4'x 4' pegboard panels of antique tools, arranged by different trades and types of tool, most of which are now part of the Bennett History Museum in the Funk Heritage Center (www.reinhardt.edu/arts-culture/funk-heritage-center/). Alan always said that he collected because for him holding the tools a craftsman used hundreds of years ago was a direct connection to that human tool user . . . it was history made real as opposed to words written in books. For me — a sculptor — the experience of trying-out some of those tools was an invaluable lesson in my vocation. I also felt connected to those innumerable craftsmen in the past, holding and working with their tools giving me a sense of place as a tool user. Many of my stone and wood carving tools are antique (Alan sold the display excess to me at cost), but they carve as well if not better than the ones still being made. I only know a few of the previous user's names, but I can feel the touch of their hands when I use their tools.

Happy 58th Birthday to the multi-talented Scottish actor Alan Cumming born on January 27, 1965 in Aberfeldy.

Alan Cumming has an amazing volume of work under his belt, last year alone he was involved in 8 different projects and TV and Cinema, add to that he appears on stage, writes, produces, directs things, as you'd imagine there is a lot to go through in his bio.........

Born to Mary (Darling), an insurance company secretary, and Alex Cumming. a forester for Atholl Estate, Alanspent his infant years in Dunkeld before the family moved to Fassfern near Fort William, before moving to the east coast of Scotland in 1969, where Alan's father took up the position of Head Forester of Panmure Estate; it was there that Alan grew up. He went to Monikie Primary School and Carnoustie High School, where he began appearing in plays, and soon after that began working with with the Carnoustie Theatre Club and Carnoustie Musical Society, and never looked back.

In 1981, he left high school with some great exam results in several subjects, but because he was too young to enter any university or drama school he worked for just over a year as a sub-editor at D.C. Thomson Publishers in Dundee. There he worked on the launch of a new magazine, “Tops”, and was also the “Young Alan” who answered readers’ letters. 

In September 1982 he began a three-year course at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. He graduated in 1985 with a B.A. (Dramatic Studies) and awards for verse speaking and direction. He also had formed a cabaret double act with fellow student Forbes Masson called Victor and Barry, which went on to become hugely successful with tours (including two Perrier Pick of the Fringe seasons in London and a month-long engagement at the Sydney Opera House as part of an Australian tour), records and many TV appearances throughout the British Isles. Before graduating Alan made his professional theatre and film debuts in Macbeth at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow and in Gillies MacKinnon’s Passing Glory. 

After graduating, Alan worked extensively in Scottish theatre and television, including a stint on the soap opera High Road before moving to London when Conquest of the South Pole, a play by German playwright Manfred Karge, transferred from the Traverse Theatre in, Edinburgh to the the Royal Court in London, earning him his first Olivier award nomination for Most Promising Newcomer of 1988. 

Alan performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company and then the Royal National Theatre, where he starred in Accidental Death of an Anarchist, which he also adapted with director Tim Supple. The production was nominated for Best revival at the 1991 Olivier awards and Alan won for Comedy Performance of the Year. His film career began with Ian Sellar’s Prague , in which he starred with Sandrine Bonnaire and Bruno Ganz. The film premiered at the 1992 Cannes film festival and went on to win him Best Actor award at the Atlantic Film Festival and a Scottish BAFTA Best Actor nomination. In the same year he made two films for the BBC. 

In the 1992 Olivier awards got his second nomination for Comedy Performance of the Year for La Bete. The next year he played Hamlet for the English Touring Theatre to great critical acclaim  going on to play the Emcee in Sam Mendes’ revival of Cabaret. He received a 1994 Olivier award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical for “Cabaret”, and for Hamlet he received the 1994 TMA Best Actor award and a Shakespeare Globe award nomination.

In 1994, he made his first Hollywood film, Circle of Friends then two films released in quick succession Emma and GoldenEye as a talented hacker, Boris Grishenko, these films brought him to be noticed by further American producers, and he appeared in several Hollywood films, such as Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion and Buddy.

Returning home briefly in 1997 to work with Stanley Kubrick and the Spice Girls before reprising his role in Cabaret on Broadway. The show and his portrayal were a sensation, and he received the many plaudits and awards  for his performance including a Tony  for Best Actor in a Musical

Since then he has alternated between theatre and films, and also between smaller independent films and more mainstream fare.His films include Julie Taymor’s Titus, the Spy Kids trilogy, X-Men 2, Son of the Mask and the Showtime movie musical Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical, and Battle of the Sexes. 

Cumming’s TV work includes Taggart, of course!  The short lived Scottish sitcom The High Life,  Travelling Man, Third Rock from the Sun, Sex and the City, Foyles War and Dr Who. He is probably best known for starring in the US  legal and political drama The Good Wife 

Alan lives in Manhattan  with his husband, illustrator Grant Shaffer, he has been nominated and won too many awards to mention here, and has champion causes for the  LGBT community worldwide. He published a novel,, Tommy’s Tale in 2002,  centring on the life of a bisexual guy living in London, and his biography  Not My Father’s Son, Cumming describes the emotional and physical violence his father inflicted on him in his childhood, he became estranged from his father in his early 20′s and it wasn’t until filming   Who Do You Think You Are in 2010 he spoke to him, his father telling him he suspected he wasn’t his biological father, Alan, along with his brother later had DNA tests which  proved they were indeed his biological children.

Alan today went up in my estimations when he announce he was sending back the OBE he was awarded in 2009 due to "the toxicity of empire".

He explained it in full on his Instagram account, posting;

Today is my 58th birthday and I want to tell you about something I recently did for myself. I returned my OBE. Fourteen years ago, I was incredibly grateful to receive it in the 2009 Queen’s birthday honours list, for it was awarded not just for my job as an actor but ‘for activism for equal rights for the gay and lesbian community, USA’. Back then the Defence of Marriage Act ensured that same sex couples couldn’t get married or enjoy the same basic legal rights as straight people, and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell ensured that openly gay, lesbian or bisexual people were barred from serving in the military. (Incidentally both these policies were instituted by the Clinton administration). This is the statement I made at the time: ‘I am really shocked and delighted to receive this honour. I am especially happy to be honoured for my activism as much as for my work.  The fight for equality for the LGBT community in the US is something I am very passionate about, and I see this honour as encouragement to go on fighting for what I believe is right and for what I take for granted as a UK citizen. Thank you to the Queen and those who make up her Birthday honours list for bringing attention to the inaction of the US government on this issue. It makes me very proud to be British, and galvanised as an American’. The Queen’s death and the ensuing conversations about the role of monarchy and especially the way the British Empire profited at the expense (and death) of indigenous peoples across the world really opened my eyes. Also, thankfully, times and laws in the US have changed, and the great good the award brought to the LGBTQ+ cause back in 2009 is now less potent than the misgivings I have being associated with the toxicity of empire (OBE stands for Officer of the British Empire). So I returned my award, explained my reasons and reiterated my great gratitude for being given it in the first place. I’m now back to being plain old Alan Cumming again. Happy birthday to me!

If you want to see Alan let loose in oor ain land check out Channel 4’s Miriam & Alan: Lost In Scotland where we see the esteemed actor venturing around his native Scotland in a mobile home, with a new friend in tow – fellow thespian, the 80-year-old super Miriam Margolyes. The second series saw then explore the US.

I have to say I hope I look in as good shape as Alan when I reach my 58th birthday........but with just over 4 months left it's not going to happen is it!

GOLEA NEXCAXA A BRAVOS!!

Aguascalientes, Ags., domingo 25 de agosto de 2024.-.-Los Rayos del Necaxa tuvieron una gran celebración por su aniversario 101 que aconteció en la semana que recién termina y derrotaron 3-0 a unos Bravos de Juárez que parecen no haber regresado aún de su aventura por la Leagues Cup 2024

El primer gol del partido llegó sobre la media hora de juego cuando el árbitro acudió al VAR para revisar un posible penal en favor de los locales y tras verla en el monitor observó la falta y señaló la pena máxima que Paradela definió muy bien para encarrilar el triunfo rojiblanco.

Los Rayos manejaron los hilos del partido ante un cuadro fronterizo que no tuvo muchos argumentos futbolísticos y poco a poco se entregó, pues al minuto 70, Alan Montes convirtió el segundo gol del encuentro y 8 minutos después fue Badaloni, quien se estrenó en la Liga BBVA MX, para sellar el 3-0 final en el estadio Victoria.

Con el triunfo, los Rayos de Fentanes llegaron a 7 unidades y se metieron en puestos de media tabla, mientras que los Bravos se quedan estancados con un solo punto después de 5 partidos disputados en el Apertura 2024.

Sinopse

Ato I Cena 1. Laboratório do Projeto Manhattan, Los Alamos, Novo México. Junho de 1945 O trabalho na bomba atômica se aproxima de seu ponto culminante, liderado pelo físico J. Robert Oppenheimer e pelo Comandante do Exército, General Leslie Groves. Desde a rendição da Alemanha, muitos dos cientistas começaram a questionar a necessidade de usar a bomba contra o Japão. Edward Teller e Robert Wilson estão especialmente preocupados com as implicações morais e sociais e tentam convencer os outros a assinar uma petição ao presidente Truman. Oppenheimer os adverte. Ele acaba de voltar de Washington e descreve a decisão de bombardear as cidades japonesas, concentrando-se em alvos civis.

Cena 2. A casa dos Oppenheimers em Los Alamos Oppenheimer responde às perguntas preocupadas de sua esposa, Kitty, com versos de um de seus poetas favoritos, Baudelaire. Por alguns breves momentos, eles são transportados para o clima intoxicado do poema. Deixada sozinha, Kitty pensa sobre as contradições da paz, da guerra e do amor.

Cena 3. O local do teste "Trinity" em Alamogordo, Novo México. 15 de julho de 1945 É a noite do teste da primeira bomba atômica. Uma enorme tempestade elétrica está assolando o local de teste e a bomba, parcialmente armada e içada em uma torre alta, corre o risco de ser atingida por um raio. O meteorologista chefe Frank Hubbard avisa ao frustrado General Groves que tentar fazer o teste nessas condições é extremamente perigoso. O capitão Nolan, do Corpo Médico do Exército, tenta impressionar Groves sobre as propriedades tóxicas mortais do plutônio e do envenenamento por radiação, que estão apenas começando a ser compreendidas. Quando o pânico começa a tomar conta, o general dispensa toda a equipe para conversar a sós com Oppenheimer. O físico gentilmente faz humor com Groves sobre seus problemas crônicos de peso, e Groves sai para dormir um pouco. Oppenheimer enfrenta sua própria crise pessoal sozinho no deserto, lembrando-se de um soneto de John Donne que o inspirou a nomear o local de teste como "Trinity" (Trindade): "Bata em meu coração, Deus de três pessoas".

Ato II Cena 1. A casa dos Oppenheimers A duzentos quilômetros do local do teste, Kitty e sua empregada indígena, Pasqualita, observam o céu noturno em busca de sinais da explosão. Ocasionalmente, Pasqualita verifica a criança que está dormindo na casa dos Oppenheimers. Kitty reflete novamente sobre a guerra, a morte e a ressurreição do espírito.

Interlúdio orquestral Chuva sobre as montanhas "Sangre de Cristo". Katherine Oppenheimer, com sete meses, acorda, chorando. Pasqualita a conforta, cantando uma canção de ninar.

Cena 2. O local do teste. Meia-noite, 16 de julho de 1945 Todo o pessoal foi retirado da área da explosão. Wilson e Jack Hubbard estão na torre da bomba, fazendo medições de última hora ordenadas por Groves. Ambos estão extremamente preocupados com a possibilidade de testar a bomba no meio de uma tempestade elétrica. No bunker de observação, os cientistas discutem a possibilidade de que a detonação possa desencadear uma reação em cadeia descontrolada que termine na destruição da atmosfera da Terra. Oppenheimer afirma que esse resultado não é possível. Com a chuva ainda caindo, Groves desconsidera todos os avisos sobre a tempestade, e Oppenheimer ordena que todos se preparem para o disparo de teste às 5h30 da manhã.

Cenas 3 e 4 Groves é atormentado por temores de sabotagem, enquanto Oppenheimer está em um estado de extrema exaustão nervosa. Todos esperam, cada um absorto em seus próprios pensamentos. Os homens fazem apostas, tentando adivinhar o rendimento da bomba. Oppenheimer surpreende a todos com sua previsão pessimista, e até mesmo Groves não consegue esconder sua fé cada vez menor. De repente, o céu noturno se enche de uma visão aterrorizante de Vishnu, conforme descrito no Bhagavad Gita: "Ao ver isso, sua forma estupenda, cheia de bocas e olhos… terrível com presas… quando eu o vejo, Vishnu… com suas bocas abertas e olhos flamejantes arregalados - toda a minha paz se foi; meu coração está perturbado". À zero menos dez minutos, um foguete de aviso é disparado e uma sirene toca. Em seguida, a tempestade começa e o céu sobre o Ground Zero fica subitamente limpo. Outro foguete de aviso é disparado e, em zero menos 60 segundos, um terceiro sinaliza a contagem regressiva final. O Acampamento Base se assemelha a um posto avançado de mortos: fileiras de cientistas e membros do Exército deitados de bruços em valas rasas. Não há movimento ou sussurro de atividade, apenas a contagem regressiva rítmica no alto-falante. Em zero menos 45 segundos, um engenheiro aciona o interruptor do cronômetro automático. Os circuitos de acionamento começam a disparar. "Zero menos um." Há um silêncio assustador, e então começa uma era.

Before creating the beloved courtroom drama Rumpole of the Bailey, writer John Mortimer found inspiration in his own life for this portrait of a difficult but enduring love between father and son in mid-20th-century Britain.

Screen legend Laurence Olivier stars as the eccentric patriarch, Clifford Mortimer – a blind barrister so stubborn and cantankerous that he refuses to acknowledge his sightlessness. Alan Bates (Gosford Park) portrays his devoted son John, who follows his father's footsteps in the law while longing to become a writer, with Jane Asher (Brideshead Revisited) as his wife Elizabeth and Elizabeth Sellars as his mother.

Adapted for the screen by Mortimer himself and filmed largely on location at his family estate in bucolic Oxfordshire, this production garnered multiple awards, including an International Emmy for best drama. Jane was nominated for a BAFTA award for best actress in 1983.

This production was notable for including the blind actor Esmond Knight in a sighted role, as one judge Mortimer senior faces. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, it captures the special bond between father and son, which at times seems unbearable--but ultimately unbreakable.

Screencaps from a facebook page I cannot find now. Contact me if it’s yours and I’ll give you credit! You’ll find more at my blogspot blog for Jane.

[Cheryl Misak] is providing an alternative to a common story of the development of pragmatism (found in Rorty explicitly and implicitly in the work of many who associate their work with pragmatism) according to which pragmatism was in the mid-twentieth century exiled from its place of prominence in leading American philosophy departments and forced into more obscure departments, where it still finds itself. Misak disrupts this narrative by tracing through a Peircean pragmatist inheritance—one that is robustly technical, concerned with epistemological and methodological issues, and is concerned with the objective aspects of truth and related notions and thus not beholden to the subjectivist leanings of James and Dewey. This Peircean inheritance finds its way through C. I. Lewis, W. V. Quine, and right the way through to contemporary philosophy. Pragmatism of this sort was never marginalized and creates a bulwark against the tender-minded pragmatism endorsed by Rorty in the name of James and Dewey. This form of pragmatism did not die out with the advance of analytic philosophy; it shaped the development of analytic philosophy, especially in the American context.

So, here is my first historical challenge for Misak. As she acknowledges, the displacement story is not simply confabulated. Something did happen around the middle of the twentieth century that lessened the hold that pragmatism had on the American philosophical agenda. Moreover, even today no one rises up the rankings by hiring a pragmatist; the correlation coefficient between being a top department and being in the Leiter American pragmatism rankings is quite low. Even if one can find pragmatist elements in the work of Quine, Sellars, Goodman, Davidson and a few of the other leading lights of mid-century American philosophy, there was a widespread sense circa 1960 that pragmatism was what Dewey said it was, that it was passé, and that the field had changed in the direction of detailed, technical issues in logic, philosophy of science, and philosophy of language, all done in an idiom that owed far more to Russell, Carnap, Wittgenstein, and Moore than to any American philosopher. …

Moreover, even those like Quine and Sellars who had some recognizably pragmatist leanings did not talk much about pragmatism or expend much energy in establishing their own pragmatist bona fides. …

…

Misak’s misgivings about calling Quine a pragmatist have to do with his chary attitude toward questions of value. This is surely a proper misgiving to have, but it is for me only a symptom of a larger worry. Quine’s extensionalism and his physicalism are so robust that standard ways to express what pragmatism is—such as Lewis’s “knowledge is for the sake of action” or the robustly intentional idiom of ends-in-view in Dewey—are themselves officially unintelligible for Quine. … the impact of his work in reducing the centrality of pragmatism in American philosophy is substantial. …

Misak needs to argue for the pragmatist bona fides of Quine, Sellars, Goodman, and Davidson in order to disrupt Rorty’s story. This is because she grants that Rorty is substantially correct about the Jamesian and Deweyan wings of pragmatism. According to Misak, James and Dewey do lend themselves to subjectivism and ultimately to Rorty’s pragmatist anti-philosophy. … Rorty’s readings of Dewey seem to me decontextualized and tone deaf. … His theory of inquiry is robustly objectivist, and he advocates throughout his career not just the objective value of science but the fostering of the values of objectivity right through all human concerns. …

Another actors birthday today is one of our busiest actors, Alan Cumming born on January 27th, 1965, in Aberfeldy to Mary (Darling), an insurance company secretary, and Alex Cumming.

His family lived nearby in Dunkeld, where his father was a forester for the Atholl Estate. The family moved to Fassfern near Fort William, before moving to the east coast of Scotland in 1969, where Alan’s father took up the position of Head Forester of Panmure Estate; it was there that Alan grew up. 

He went to Monikie Primary School and Carnoustie High School, where he began appearing in plays, and soon after that began working with with the Carnoustie Theatre Club and Carnoustie Musical Society.

In 1981, Alan, showed he had brains when he left high school with 8 ‘O’ Grades and 4 Highers, but because he was too young to enter any university or drama school he worked for just over a year as a sub-editor at D.C. Thomson Publishers in Dundee. There he worked on the launch of a new magazine, “Tops”, and was also the “Young Alan” who answered readers’ letters. 

In September 1982 Cumming began a three-year course at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. He graduated in 1985 with a B.A and awards for verse speaking and direction. He also had formed a cabaret double act with fellow student Forbes Masson called Victor and Barry, which went on to become hugely successful with tours including two Perrier Pick of the Fringe seasons in London and a month-long engagement at the Sydney Opera House as part of an Australian tour,  albums Hear Victor and Barry and Faint, Are We Too Loud and many TV appearances throughout the UK. 

Before graduating Alan made his professional theatre and film debuts in Macbeth at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow and in Gillies MacKinnon’s Passing Glory. After graduating, Alan worked extensively in Scottish theatre and television, including a stint on the soap opera High Road  before moving to London when Conquest of the South Pole, a play by German playwright Manfred Karge, transferred from the Traverse Theatre in, Edinburgh to the the Royal Court in he West End, earning him his first Olivier award nomination for Most Promising Newcomer of 1988. 

Alan performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company and then the Royal National Theatre, where he starred in Accidental Death of an Anarchist, which he also adapted with director Tim Supple. The production was nominated for Best revival at the 1991 Olivier awards and Alan won for Comedy Performance of the Year.

His film career began with Ian Sellar’s Prague in 1992, in which he starred with Sandrine Bonnaire and Bruno Ganz. The film premiered at the 1992 Cannes film festival and went on to win him Best Actor award at the Atlantic Film Festival and a Scottish BAFTA Best Actor nomination. In the same year he made two films for the BBC - Screen Two: The Last Romantics (and Bernard and the Genie, the latter winning him the Top Television Newcomer award at 1992 British Comedy Awards. In the 1992 Olivier awards he was also nominated for Comedy Performance of the Year for La Bete. In 1993 he played Hamlet for the English Touring Theatre to great critical acclaim one reviewer raved that Alan (was) “An actor knocking on the door of greatness”  He received a 1994 Olivier award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical for “Cabaret”, and for Hamlet he received the 1994 TMA Best Actor award and a Shakespeare Globe award nomination.

In 1994, Alan made his first Hollywood film, Circle of Friends,  and his performance as the oleaginous Sean Walsh along with those in two films released in quick succession Emma and Goldeneye brought him to the attention of American producers, and he appeared in several Hollywood films, such as Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion  and Buddy. He returned home in 1997 to work with Stanley Kubrick and the Spice Girls before returning stateside in 1998 to reprise his role in Cabare” on Broadway. The show and his portrayal were a sensation, and he received the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics’ Circle, Theatre World, FANY, New York Press and New York Public Advocate’s awards for his performance. 

Since then Alan Cumming has alternated between theatre and films, and also between smaller independent films and more mainstream fare. His films include Julie Taymor’s Titus, the Spy Kids trilogy, X-Men 2, Son of the Mask and the Showtime movie musical Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical.

Alan wrote, directed, produced and acted in The Anniversary Party with Jennifer Jason Leigh, which premiered at the Cannes Film festival in 2002 and went on to win a National Board of Review award and two Independent Spirit award nominations. He also produced the documentary Show People and the films Sweet Land and Full Grown Men (and appears in both) and acted in Gray Matters opposite Heather Graham and Bam Bam and Celeste , opposite Margaret Cho. 

In 2006, he returned to Broadway as Macheath in The Threepenny Opera. 

How, with everything he has been doing, he found the time to write a novel, Tommy’s Tale in 2002, I don’t know.

Cumming’s TV wok unused, Travelling Man, Third Rock from the Sun, Sex and the City, and of course that good old Scottish favourite Taggart.

More recently Alan teamed up with KT Tunstall to do a version of Caledonia,  he turned up in DR Who in 2018, as oor James VI and was in a couple of episodes of the excellent, Prodigal Son and voiced, Loki in the Simpsons. 

Alan has a few projects on the go according to IMDb including, a drama called Run and a road trip movie  Bright in a Hollow Sky.

IMDb doesn’t say this, but I noticed a couple of days ago Alan is also lined up to appear in the  National Theatre of Scotland's BURN.  It’s a creative collaboration between Cumming and Olivier award-winning choreographer Steven Hoggett, And described as “a powerful new piece of dance theatre inspired by the life and legacy of Scotland's most celebrated poet, Robert Burns.”

EN PLAN GRANDE!!

Julio Urías celebró su cumpleaños con una salida de 10*****El pitcher mexicano de los Dodgers cerró con broche de oro el fin de semana de la ‘Fernandomanía’ festejando su décimo triunfo de la temporada en el partido en que Los Angeles derrotó 8-3 a los Rockies de Colorado

Veinticuatro horas después haber cumplido 27 años y dos días después de que la novena californiana retirara el número 34 de Fernando Valenzuela, el lanzador sinaloense tiró una joya ante Colorado, en la que ponchó a 12 de los 25 rivales que enfrentó, no otorgó base por bolas y admitió tres carreras limpias, 4 hits, en siete innings pitcheados.

Con este resultado, Urías pone su récord de 10-6, mejorando su porcentaje de carreras limpias a 4.35.

Una de las carreras que aceptó el ‘Culichi’ fue producto del también pelotero tricolor Alan Trejo, quien le conectó un jonrón para empatar momentáneamente 3-3 el marcador en la cuarta entrada. Con su vuelacercas, Trejo impulsó a Elías Díaz.

El cerrador nayarita Víctor González sacó los últimos tres outs para sellar el triunfo de Urías.

En la ofensiva de Dodgers lucieron el jardinero Chris Taylor, quien se fue de 2-1 con dos carreras impulsadas, y el campo corto Miguel Rojas, quien llevó a la registradora otras cuatro, incluyendo un cuadrangular solitario en la cuarta entrada.

Llega Ohtani a 41 jonrones

Houston.- El manager de los Angelinos de Los Angeles, Phil Nevin, insistió antes del partido de ayer en que la fatiga del brazo que provocó que la estrella bidireccional Shohei Ohtani se saltara su próxima apertura programada en el montículo no lo afectaría en el plato.

Entonces Ohtani salió y lo dejó claro.

Ohtani conectó su jonrón número 41, líder de la Liga Americana, y los Angelinos vencieron 2-1 a los Astros de Houston para evitar una barrida en tres juegos.

El primer jonrón de Ohtani desde el 3 de agosto puso a los Angelinos arriba 2-0 en la sexta entrada. Houston lo redujo a 2-1 en la mitad inferior, pero los Angelinos finalmente recibieron ayuda de su cuerpo de lanzadores después de perder cada uno de los primeros dos juegos de la serie 11-3. Su bullpen lanzó tres entradas en blanco para asegurar la victoria.

Nevin dijo que Ohtani regresará a la rotación durante una serie en casa contra Cincinnati que comienza el 21 de agosto.

“Realmente se metió en uno hoy”, dijo Nevin. “Creo que los cambios han sido geniales. Esto no tiene nada que ver con su bateo, ¿de acuerdo? es su brazo. No una lesión. Sólo cansado. Si me inscribieras para él perdiéndose sólo una apertura a lo largo de la temporada, sería el primero en levantar la mano”.

Ohtani no estuvo disponible para los reporteros.

El abridor de Los Angeles, Chase Silseth (4-1), permitió cuatro hits y ponchó a cinco en cinco entradas en blanco. Carlos Estévez ponchó a dos en el noveno para su salvamento número 25.

“Viste los dos primeros juegos. Fue bueno capitalizar hoy con el pitcheo”, dijo Estévez. “Silseth, hombre, ése fue un trabajo increíble. Eso fue realmente bueno. Y luego llegó el bullpen, lo logramos y eso se siente realmente bien y también sentimos que estamos mostrando a los jugadores de posición como, ‘Oye, lo logramos, no te preocupes’”.

José Urquidy (2-3) de Houston permitió tres hits y una carrera en más de cinco entradas en su segunda apertura desde que regresó de la lista de lesionados.

Eduardo Escobar conectó un doble al jardín izquierdo con un out en el tercero y los Angelinos tomaron una ventaja de 1-0 cuando anotó con un doble con dos outs de Mickey Moniak.

Hubo un out en el cuarto cuando Kyle Tucker conectó un doble por regla. Jon Singleton recibió base por bolas con dos outs, pero los Astros se fueron con las manos vacías cuando Mauricio Dubón conectó un roletazo en una jugada forzada.

Ohtani conectó a Parker Mushinski para un tiro de 448 pies al jardín central con dos outs en el sexto.

Singleton volvió a recibir base por bolas con dos outs en la parte baja de la entrada, pasó a tercera con un sencillo de Dubón y anotó con un lanzamiento descontrolado de José Soriano.

Houston consiguió un sencillo de Chas McCormick con un out en el octavo. Matt Moore luego ponchó a Singleton y Dubon.

“Simplemente no conseguimos los grandes hits con corredores en posición de anotar”, dijo el manager de los Astros, Dusty Baker. “Tuvimos varias oportunidades y casi fallamos. (Yordan) Álvarez estuvo cerca, muy cerca. Así que solo tenemos que apegarnos a eso”.

Los Angelinos llenaron las bases con dos outs en el noveno ante Rafael Montero, pero Ryne Stanek se hizo cargo y retiró a Randal Grichuk para dejar a todos varados.

José Altuve de Houston se fue de 4-0 con una base por bolas para romper una racha de hits de 14 juegos.

A Voyage Round My Father

Before creating the beloved courtroom drama Rumpole of the Bailey, writer John Mortimer found inspiration in his own life for this portrait of a difficult but enduring love between father and son in mid-20th-century Britain.

Screen legend Laurence Olivier stars as the eccentric patriarch, Clifford Mortimer – a blind barrister so stubborn and cantankerous that he refuses to acknowledge his sightlessness. Alan Bates (Gosford Park) portrays his devoted son John, who follows his father’s footsteps in the law while longing to become a writer, with Jane Asher (Brideshead Revisited) as his wife Elizabeth and Elizabeth Sellars as his mother.

Adapted for the screen by Mortimer himself and filmed largely on location at his family estate in bucolic Oxfordshire, this production garnered multiple awards, including an International Emmy for best drama. Jane was nominated for a BAFTA award for best actress in 1983.

This production was notable for including the blind actor Esmond Knight in a sighted role, as one judge Mortimer senior faces. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, it captures the special bond between father and son, which at times seems unbearable–but ultimately unbreakable.

Screencaps from a facebook page I cannot find now. Contact me if it’s yours and I’ll give you credit! You’ll find more at my blogspot blog for Jane.
