Sally Sirota, a doctor from Cornwall, pointed out a paddle her father had gotten from an old Dutch sailor who had settled in the area after World War II. His name was still faintly visible in marker: Petraeus.
Most of its Android rivals are now moving to an "ambient mode" that keeps two faintly drawn watch hands on the screen at all times, but it's not as good or as pretty as having a real watch face.

Even a seeming moment of respite from the grinding perpetual motion — rendered by Leonard Bernstein and the Philharmonic in this clip as a passage of calm majesty out of Beethoven's Ninth — registered as faintly sneering, a parody of peace.

In the dense thicket of the internet lies a verdant patch of grass where dappled sunbeams peek through the leaves, resting fawns doze about, a troop of woodland mushrooms grows underfoot, and a brook faintly burbles in the distance.

The Google Pixel 2 XL may have just launched this past week, but over the weekend reports began to surface that the device's OLED screen was already exhibiting signs of burn-in, which left UI elements faintly evident after switching screens.

The warm glow of a street lamp struggles to cut through the pea soup, but the details of the scene remain indefinite, blurry, faintly mysterious; the people's faces shrouded in shadow; the sky grainy and gray on the old-fashioned film.
You feel what Mitchell felt about Woodstock: the urge to get back to the garden, fully aware that it can't be, that it's impossible and faintly annoying to think otherwise, but knowing also that people's best intentions are always beautiful.
In "March" (2018-2019), the composition's flanking gray bands help concentrate the viewer's attention on the faintly gridded square overlaid with hesitant red-brown, gray, and dirty-white, ribbon-like lines tangling and untangling across the center of the painting.
They are big honking doorknocker-looking things, all of them frosty with diamonds of various sizes; the gritting and faintly John Kerry-esque profile of the Patriots logo is progressively more swamped by all the garish gleaming going on around it.

I've met Prince Charles subsequently several times, both formally and informally, but there was something about the faintly surreal nature of that first encounter — the civil inquiry in an atmosphere of near-anarchy and violence — that has stayed with me.
"Bed of Letters" grew out of a hum and for a long time hewed close to Ms. Fleming's speaking voice, with lines delivered in a low, faintly guttural tone, while repeated piano notes evoked a blinking cursor on a computer screen.

RUSSONELLO
Amid a roiling backdrop — a woman is faintly speaking, electronics are howling, a piano is pounding — Ms. Galás savagely shouts, as if she's the star of a political rally, one of the last poems that Pier Paolo Pasolini wrote before his murder.
Why does her writer friend Ronnie find Bridge Cottage poky and squalid, with "a faintly fishy smell as if an aquarium bubbled there," when the real Ronald Blythe told Highsmith's biographer Andrew Wilson it was "very clean and comfortable, orderly and warm"?

In " The Senator Next Door: A Memoir from the Heartland " (Holt), Klobuchar wants voters to know that, despite her impressive degrees and her well-paid (and, to progressives, faintly suspicious) stint as a corporate attorney, she's just that feisty bell-bottomed Midwestern kid.
It's arriving at a moment that feels like Peak Hiddleston, but it's still a welcome use of his particular image: few other actors would be as well suited for this role, which combines elemental ferocity and a polite, faintly dubious, openly artificial social mask.
The film keeps all its scientists in lab coats and jumpsuits as though science couldn't possibly be performed without the right uniform, and treats its science-wizards almost as a separate species—a faintly daffy and obsessive species, but still an amiable enough one.
"Monstars" are a wonderful metaphor for an unstoppable, but still faintly absurd, enemy that undergoes an amoral process to press their superiority into you; it was just sitting there for baseball's steroid era and the Bush Administration to come, and if anything, we underutilized it.

Otherwise they sold items that I found funny ("Warning: You are Entering a Red Neck Area," read one sign) or faintly disturbing (Confederate flags hung from a stall where a tattoo-wearing trader displayed his array of large daggers to a spellbound young boy).

I don't know anyone in Lewiston or San Marcos, and the only person I even faintly know in Bangor is a guy who sometimes invites me onto his radio show; I know those cities pretty much exclusively as medium-small type in an atlas.
All the old habitats, including Mr. Carson's pantry, the servants' dining room and Lady Mary's bedroom (faintly scandalous with its memory of Kemal Pamuk's coital demise) are painstakingly recreated, right down to the forks and spoons arranged just so on the Crawley dinner table.

Zidane was restored as manager because he is seen, in Madrid, as a guarantee of Champions League success — he has won every single one he has competed in as a manager — but it would be faintly miraculous if he maintained that streak this year.
And if — let us say — the Amazonian synod allows for married priests in special circumstances and produces a document with faintly-heretical formulations, then as with Francis's ambiguous shift on remarriage and communion, the change will matter, but not enough to break the church.
This light, faintly tangy "sissel" rye (sissel is the Yiddish word for caraway) spread across the United States with Jewish delis; as in Scandinavian smorrebrod, the strong flavor of rye is perfect with rich and salty fillings, like pastrami, kosher salami and chopped liver.
I'm pulling up to the West Hollywood Equinox to do nothing but weight-lifting for a full hour until I let out a Hulk-like roar from adrenaline and my crotch patch has a nice big sweat stain that smells faintly like vintage champagne.

And at one point, he gets jarred out of his gung-ho persona for a second and a still shot of his stunned face remains faintly superimposed over the screen — as though Coop were standing back and watching himself play out a made-up TV story.
It is a serene place, though its close confines are faintly reminiscent of one of Park's signature scenes, from "Oldboy," in which the imprisoned man at the heart of the film fights his way, guard by guard, through a claustrophobic hallway, armed only with a hammer.

The smooth, ruddy Obe Ata tomato soup pops with a faintly peppered kick that still shines if you enrich it with some cream: Egunsifoods African soups, Fairway Markets Manhattan (except Kips Bay) and Red Hook, Brooklyn; $8.99 for 17.3 ounces, $40 for four containers (frozen) from egunsifoods.com.

We get close to a dozen different perspectives on the crimes, from the faintly resentful reminiscences of the Aosawa housekeeper's daughter, to the lyrical musings of one of Hisako's childhood acquaintances who was obsessed with the enigmatic girl and later wrote a fictional account of the case.
Some, like r/AskDocs and r/DiagnoseMe, skew toward the bizarre ("I somehow got a hair tourniquet inside my anus and I desperately need advice") and sensational ("I swear to god I hear [sic] radio stations faintly in my ears every night for the last 15 years.").
While you're off at work making enough money to put a roof over that pile of fur's goofy-looking head, your dog gets to stay home and sleep, kicking their legs and faintly barking because they're dreaming about hunting small prey or some other stupid thing.
In past centuries, when they were commonly served roasted at feasts, fewer free-flying wild ones existed here, and even today they seem to me more like feathered livestock than birds: huge, faintly menacing inhabitants of local parks and rivers, neither fully wild nor fully tame.

The screenwriter Sarah Phelps clears out the cobwebs and adds a modern sizzle to this BBC update of Christie's 1925 story, starring Kim Cattrall (forever Samantha Jones of "Sex and the City") as French, her beauty faintly diminished by age, her longing tinged with predation and pathos.
More than ten years ago, when the idea of memory enhancement was an even further-off dream, faintly twinkling as a possibility in some fruit flies that had been altered to have photographic memories, philosopher and author Michael Sandel wrote "The Case Against Perfection" in the Atlantic.
But all seven of the central children are well-cast and give strong performances, and seen through their eyes, Pennywise seems like a real threat — a childhood nightmare improbably manifested in the real world — instead of like the faintly goofy, try-hard boogeyman he could so easily be.
A rectangle of chain-link fencing hangs on another wall, strung with scores of flat graphic leaves that replicate car air fresheners; some actually are air fresheners, faintly permeating the gallery with their industrial perfume, just as the music from the video next door wafts into the space.
Cheering on our athletes and celebrating the unifying force of the Games felt faintly ridiculous with Rio as the backdrop, whilst the glazed smiles of wealthy tourists seemed to mock its slogans: the "transformational power of sport" and "A New World" were conspicuously absent from the streets of Rio.
The voices who get to make profound observations about America are almost exclusively male; with few exceptions (the queer college student Sam Black Crow, who, as the narrator feels compelled to explain, is "faintly mannish" but still "attractive"), women must die horrifically to make any statement worth reflecting upon.
The family's motorcade sped down Washington streets en route to the graduation, but the White House press pool was kept in the parking lot of private high school Sidwell Friends, catching not even a glimpse of Malia though the sounds of the school brass band were faintly audible.
At Bite of Hong Kong, a Cantonese restaurant that opened in Chinatown last spring, the trappings are classic: great round banquet tables draped in red tablecloths, lazy susans making idle revolutions and those faintly prehistoric fish that land on giant plates, swimming in ginger, still flaring their fins.

Atwood's creation of Gilead, like her creation of the futuristic wasteland that serves as a backdrop to "Oryx and Crake" and "The Year of the Flood," was informed by her wide-ranging reading in dystopian literature and related genres, lending these novels a faintly postmodernist density and gloss.

Going over a hill, for the first time in my life, I smelled an animal (a faintly pleasant oily wildness) before I heard or saw it: a coyote, half-amazed, half-terrified, tripping over itself as it sprinted away, too bewildered to take its eyes off of me.
Still, even a couple of days before I left, when a friend told me she faintly remembered spending an afternoon in Gibraltar once as a teenager, I gently mansplained to her that I was pretty sure she was mistaken: Gibraltar, I told her, wasn't somewhere you could just go.

You can hear his side of the argument faintly, but mostly he exists in our minds: Struggling to get the goddamn shit this guy wants so he'll leave, working bleary-eyed at a shift no one ever wants, enduring the abuse in anticipation of his mandated-by-law ten-minute break.
We premiered London-based pair Plaitum's first single proper—"LMHY"—some six months ago and since then Matt Canham and Abi Dersiley have been drip feeding their eerie, faintly industrial electronic-pop online, in the form of their self-titled EP and now Jagwa, out on Harvest Records on May 20.
I love when a customer orders a cocktail sometimes called "bespoke" (whenever I see this funny, faintly stuffy word applied to drinks, I can't help imagining a Collins glass dressed in a finely tailored, charcoal pinstripe suit)— something devised on the spot to a customer's precise and sometimes peculiar specifications.
But inside the couple's airy East Village apartment, which smells faintly of Assam tea and glints with eye-catching Indian regional crafts — miniature caskets inlaid with mother-of-pearl, hand-woven kauna grass baskets, carved wooden spirit masks collected on their travels through Rajasthan, Kerala and Goa — everything sparkles with light.
In the same way that "James and the Giant Peach" is etched faintly into my memory in her voice, the biblical stories I heard at our Roman Catholic church on the weekends — and the rest of the week at parochial school — are inscribed indelibly in the earliest layers of me.
In her studio, Opie had shown me an image from 2009 of Pig Pen looking soulful and handsome, gazing away from the camera, shirtless, the scars of a double mastectomy faintly visible below each nipple, the word "ambiguous" in graffiti-like scrawl next to a large tattoo of a beating heart.
Downtempo and fixated on slow, steady burn, her musical euphoria appears when she savors snaky lines of melody, when keyboard textures thwock and ping against your ear's expectations, when rays of electronic light crisscross and leave the drum machine faintly shaded, when sonic contrast creates a hushed, fragile, hesitant mood.
But mostly, when I think about the queasy benefits of membership in America's overlord caste, I think about the ludicrous high-intensity hobbies, which are so grandiose at their upper end as to only faintly qualify as fun, and which generally look more like complete delusional breakdowns with uncommonly high production values.
Conversely, supporters rarely take issue with a tacit habit when a footballer performs well – in fact their attitude usually falls somewhere between accommodating and faintly admiring – and thus there will always be a whiff of hypocrisy to those who take a stand against what is often the worst kept secret in the game.
For many years, the troubles roiling very different countries in the Middle East have been making headlines, and while I can understand that Mr. Hunter wants to keep the focus on the interpersonal relationships among his American characters, I began to find the lack of specific discussion of the region faintly exasperating.
Lightly veiled, domesticated variations on fetish wear emerged last September on the spring 2016 runways of unlikely designers like Carolina Herrera, where a faintly recognizable harness embellished an otherwise pristine white dress, and Marissa Webb, who showed an airy spring dress with a curious hybrid of leather porn-shop harness and fishing vest.
The result is a surprisingly delicate cider that straddles sweet and savory, with a dry, floral streak of baking apples and a faintly saline undercurrent of white miso and umami: Diner Brew Company Bisou Miso, $9 at the Natural Wine Company, 211 North 11th Street (Roebling Street), Brooklyn, 646-397-9463, naturalwine.com.
Whereas Roth kept the novel in the first-person perspective of his eponymous childhood self (a perspective the series sometimes recreates with low-angle shots, faintly overheard adult dialogue, and the terrified face of young Azhy Robertson, who plays Philip), Simon prefers to use ensembles to illustrate multiple facets of a historical moment.
The delight of the film is Totoro himself, who is at once adorable and faintly threatening, and the other creatures who populate his world, in particular a large, grinning, centipede-legged cat that also doubles as a magical bus, his flank opening, woundlike, to allow Totoro and his human friends to climb aboard.
But there is also a quiet, chastened strain in "House of Lords and Commons," whose title recalls Shelley's famous assertion that poets are the "unacknowledged legislators of the world," while also suggesting, I think, the influence (at times faintly damaging) of William Butler Yeats, who served in the Irish senate for two terms.
That didn't happen—the Warriors, led by a commanding and outwardly chill Durant, went on a 45-12 tear over 14 minutes in the first half and the game was never even faintly a game after that—and a lot of people wound up going to bed a bit earlier than expected.
Fur collars, body jewelry, a faintly Biblical ensemble worn by Father Yod from the Source Family, and the album cover from the original cast recording of Hair all set the scene in a cohesive way, along with some smart atmospheric touches from MAD's team, like walls of hanging beads and a lush classic-rock soundtrack.
Captain America, started off as a fascinating, faintly plastic character in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), graduated to comedic foil in The Avengers (2012), transitioned into a man out of time and place in The Winter Soldier (2014), and became a de facto leader at the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).
He sings, too, in a faintly breathy voice that follows the music's lead; often his lyrics are weird enough to suggest oblique attempts at satire (sample: "Gonna eat so much fish I think I'm gonna be sick/gonna blow all my cash on anime," also "It's cool to be a cat/meow meow meow").
