Watch Don Cheadle in Jazzy Trailer for Miles Davis Biopic Miles Ahead


Nearly 10 years had passed since Miles Davis nephew Vince Wilburn declared that Don Cheadle was the only actor who could play the late jazz legend, but it wasnt until Tuesday when Sony Pictures Classics dropped the first trailer for Miles Ahead that the rest of the world got a firsthand look at what Wilburn had in mind. Cheadle didntmerely agree to star in the movie, but co-wrote and directed the film, with the initial peek promising a biopic every bit as reckless and singular as its subject. As Davis puts it at the top of the trailer: If you gonna tell a story, come at it with some attitude, man.

Immediately dismissing any thoughts of a typical womb-to-tomb overview of a great musicians life, thetrailer starts with (fictional) Rolling Stone journalist Dave Braden (Ewan McGregor) knocking on Davis door and being greeted with a swift punch to the face. Cheadle has honed in on the most frantic portion of the jazzmans life, focusing on the spell that Davis spent in New York City during the Seventies when his genius curdled into a frustrated rage and he snorted enough cocaine to kill a small elephant.

When Davis loses track of the studio tape that will kickstart his comeback, he and Braden scramble across Manhattan to find it before it falls into the hands of a rival record label. Im getting my music back! Cheadle snarls, but the high-speed shootout he and Braden find themselves in suggests that its not going to be easy.

Miles Ahead also stars Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man), Keith Stanfield (Short Term 12), and Austin Lyon (The Diary of a Teenage Girl). It premiered at the New York Film Festival last October, and will open in theaters on April 1st.

From my studies with booksand the school of hard knocks, I believe that one of the most importantingredients in relationships, of all kinds, is appreciation. What is Appreciation? Appreciation is likea much-needed rainfall to a farmer's crops that have been withering ina drought. Just as the crops start to shrivel and die without water,human relationships also start to feel brittle without a steadyapplication of the nourishing, even life-giving, impacts ofappreciation. The dictionary defines appreciation as "a favorablecritical estimate," "sensitive awareness" and "an expression ofadmiration, approval or gratitude." When you appreciate someone, youare tuned into a positive quality of another human being and expressyour gratitude for it. ...

Attic Fans

Attic and roof ventilation allows excess heat and moisture to escape at home to reduce summer cooling costs, pre-mature deterioration of roofing materials and condensation can lead to costly repairs. Effective attic ventilation relies on natural convection to pull air from the top to the bottom position, often in the open in Sofia, and the exhaust hot air from the ceiling vent in a higher position, such as through a gable, or open. Many new and existing homes are not ceilings, and its architecture can not afford soffits perforations for ventilation. While most households are conscious on the convenience brought by nicely ventilated homes, many tend to overlook the attic as one of the areas to be considered.
