Reviews for Curried Pumpkin Soup
Sort By :
Very tasty. I did add a sprinkle of cinnamon. I did not add the salt, and I used 1% milk. It was delicious! Next time I will use a touch less of the curry. Oh - I only used around a 1/4 of an onion, too.
Very bland. Added a ton of kosher salt and we still didn't finish it. I will not make this again.
Every single member of the family loved this, including my picky son in law, thank you!
I make this every Thanksgiving. I use a quart of half and half instead of evaporated milk...
I would rate this as excellent with the addition of pumpkin pie spice (1/8 tsp) per bowl and extra sugar (1/4 tsp) per bowl. Next time I will add to the whole recipe (1/2 tsp pp spice and 1 extra tsp sugar) before simmering. I also subbed 1% milk and 1 Tbsp margarine for the half and half. I might consider pureeing it in the food processer next time before simmering as the onion pieces were tasty but a different texture.

Kaneisha Atwater Granted Immediate Eligibility
FORT MYERS, Fla. – With one week remaining before the 2013-14 season begins, the FGCU women's basketball team learned Friday that sophomore transfer Kaneisha Atwater (Fort Pierce, Fla./Fort Pierce Westwood High School) has been granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA.
After transferring from VCU this summer, Atwater was originally required to sit out for one year due to the NCAA transfer rules for basketball. Because of special circumstances, FGCU and Atwater filed for a waiver from the NCAA in hopes that the guard could join the team for the 2013-14 season.
Although the NCAA initially denied Atwater's waiver, FGCU compliance coordinator Alex Masse and head coach Karl Smesko filed an appeal two weeks ago. The appeal included additional information and previous NCAA circumstances that are similar to Atwater's.
"I am excited for Kaneisha," stated Smesko. "Her teammates are excited for her as well. Kaneisha is just trying to do the right thing and I am extremely happy the NCAA examined her special circumstances and ruled in her favor."
Atwater, a former high school Parade All-American at Fort Pierce High School, transferred from VCU this summer to be closer to her young son and her family.
While at VCU, Atwater played in all 30 games for the Rams with 12 starts. She recorded 6.2 points per game with 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in an average of 18.3 minutes per contest.
Atwater will bring her speed, energy and leadership qualities to an already successful Eagle team.
After learning of her eligibility on Friday evening, Atwater played in an exhibition game on Saturday at Alico Arena. She tallied 16 points on 6-of-8 field goals with two 3-pointers, four assists and three steals to help the Eagles to a convincing win.
With their sights set on their 12th 20-plus win season, Atwater and the Eagles will begin the 2013-14 campaign on Friday, Nov. 8 at FIU.

2013-14 women's basketball season tickets are selling quickly. Fans can reserve their seat(s) by visiting the Alico Arena Ticket Office, calling 239-590-7145 or logging on to FGCUAthletics.com/Tickets.

T.P. Raman to hand over mantle, to be non-executive director
Mr Harsha Viji, a fourth generation member of the TVS family, will take over as the Managing Director of Sundaram Mutual from July 1. He succeeds Mr T.P. Raman, who is to retire on June 30, after serving the company for sixteen years at its helm.
Announcing this at a press conference here on Tuesday, Mr Raman said that it has been a very smooth and well planned transition.
Post his retirement, Mr Raman will continue to serve the company as its Non-Executive Director.
Mr Harsha, a Chartered Accountant, joined the company in 2010 as its Deputy Managing Director and has since been instrumental in steering the fortunes of Sundaram Mutual. Earlier, he served in numerous capacities at McKinsey & Co, New York, and PricewaterhouseCoopers in Chennai. He is also Director, Strategy and Planning at Sundaram Finance, where his father Mr Viji Santhanam serves as the Chairman.
Following the announcement, he answered a range of questions from the media. To a specific question, he said 'debt funds' seems to be the big growth area. However, the company will also focus on fixed maturity plans, equity and international funds.
"A lot of international funds show great interest in participating in equity markets here," he said. According to him, the company's 'assets under management' currently hovers around Rs 13,000 crore.
"Our target is to grow three times this in the next few years," he said.

That Friday, oh so long ago,
Why do we call it 'Good'?
It tells a wretched tale of woe,
Of thorns and cross of wood.
I don't want your pity, just help change my world, change my world.read more
Dream, dream and never give up,
Hope, hope of a world to be,
Work, work for justice and dreams,
Put others first and set people free.
How can the time of peace come to Earth?
When will all bombs be banned?
How can true justice blossom in mirth?
When will the violence end?
All those who choose the Way
Of noble living
Must seek to grow each day
In joyful giving,
There are times when truth is this and partly that,
When love can bind extremes to be as one,
But at other times our heart says "you must choose the way
Of life or death, for you and Earth today."
We all have stories we can share
Of times of failure and success,
Of highs and lows, of gold and dross,
Of frugal lives and love's excess.
Abraham had stirring dreams
That called for emigration.
Steadfast faith sustained his search
Despite its worst privation.
King David was a man of fire
Who sang and danced for God.
The raptures of his heart's desire
Were sacred gifts from God.
Jesus Christ is alive and lives in me
As I touch the Christ within,
As I open my life
To the power of God's love
I obey the Risen Christ.

Dirty Game Development Tricks

Game programmers reveal their dirtiest, naughtiest hacks
As gamers, it's rare that we get a chance to peak behind the curtain to view the process of video game design, and it's even rarer that we get to see what goes on during the process of actually coding and building that game.
Game Developer Magazine and Gamasutra put together this article featuring anecdotes from various video game programmers from around the industry discussing the dirtiest things they ever got away with when coding a game. Some of them are hard to follow, as they're filled with programmer in-speak, but most are interesting anecdotes about the strains and workarounds from the everyday life of the coder.
It's great to occasionally get a chance to take a look at the part of the video game creation process that even hardcore gamers mostly ignore. Coding is a very difficult subject to explain to non-insiders, and articles like this go a long way toward helping the everyday fan understand what goes into the games they love.
The more we know, the more we can appreciate games as a unique fusion of creative and technical disciplines.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Three local beaches have hit a dead end when it comes to beach renourishment.
Holden Beach, Oak Island and Caswell Beach got word this week from Rep. Mike McIntyre informing them that the permitting process for beach renourishment is now "inactive."
According to Oak Island Mayor Betty Wallace, the Army Corp of Engineers will not be reviewing renourishment permit applications anymore.
Wallace says it's because of funding issues at the federal level.
Without the permits, these local beach towns can't move ahead with the process to take care of the beaches.
"We want them to take it off of inactive status," said Wallace. "We want them to complete that review and get the review done, so we can get the permit."
Wallace says if they can get the permit, they might be able to find another way to fund the project.
Right now, Oak Island is not in "critical" need of beach renourishment, according to Wallace.
However, there are many concerns looking ahead in the future.
One idea that has been tossed around at Oak Island meetings is the idea of making some people pay to park at the beach.
Wallace says town leaders are still in the early stages of discussing this idea, but they are trying to stay ahead of the game to make sure there is some money for beach renourishment.
Wallace tells WECT.com that right now they are considering making visitors pay to park at the beach.
Residents and renters would not fall into this category.
People who come to the beach for a day or two would have to pay a specific amount for a pass to park at a beach access.
The money collected from these passes would then go into a special fund designated for beach renourishment. It would be used if federal funding was not readily available for them.
"That influx of every family, every visitor wears the beach just a touch and we've got to do some long reach planning to keep out beach a healthy beach," said Wallace when asked about a possible parking fee policy.
Oak Island is still in the early stages of discussing funding ideas.

text: The Buffalo Bulls fought to the bitter end on opening day, but ended up on the losing side of a 40-20 Ohio State victory. Quarterback Joe Licata had a decent outing for the Bulls, completing 19 of 32 passes for 187 yards two touchdowns and an interception. His favorite weapon was wide-out Alex Neutz, who had nine catches for 98 yards and a touchdown. Buckeyes' Running back Jordan Hall ran all over the Bulls, as he rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries. He also caught three passes for 14 yards. Ohio State got things rolling early, with three touchdowns in the first quarter. The Bulls answered back with two consecutive scores in the second quarter, including an Interception-return TD by Bulls stand-out linebacker Khalil Mack. However, The Buckeyes would score the final touchdown of the first half, giving them a 30-13 lead at halftime. At the start of the third quarter, Buffalo got on the board after Licata hooked up with Neutz for a 10-yard touchdown. Ohio State answered back with a touchdown late in the third quarter, and another one early in the fourth. The Buckeyes' would then run the clock out to secure the win. The Associated Press reported that the No. 2 Buckeyes paid non-conference foes $3.1 million, which includes one million to the University of Buffalo. Covers.com gave the spread to Ohio State (-34.5) going into the game. Buffalo hopes to turn things around when they go on the road to take on Baylor next Saturday, September 7. Kick-off is set for 3:30 PM.

This weekend, Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim," a monster mash about giant creatures that come through an inter-dimensional portal on the ocean floor and the giant robots constructed to fight them, was neither an outright dud nor a smash. Beaten to number one by "Despicable Me 2," we can't imagine a third place finish was what Warner Bros. had in mind for their $200 million summer movie. Was it too much of a fan letter to nerds and comic book stores for the general public to care? Did the marketing campaign stumble? Did it need an A-list star? We're sure conference rooms at WB today are having meetings asking those exact same questions, but there's also the simple question of whether or not the movie actually delivered.
While a certain segment embraced the approach that riffed on old-school Saturday matinee double-features, anime, manga and trumped-up videogames, others found those elements couldn't hit the derivative story, one-dimensional characters and a movie that offered a lot of hollow explosions and special effects (here's our original review). In fact at The Playlist, it has spurred its own numerous discussions in the lobby and we've carried it over to this feature in which we run down the good, the bad, and the just plain weird about "Pacific Rim" (and even some of these points were hotly debated within our ranks). Spoilers roughly the size and shape of a giant robot, follow.
Good Kaiju
Seeing as this is a Guillermo del Toro film, everything in "Pacific Rim" is meticulously detailed and gorgeously designed. The production design was handled by both Carol Spier, a longtime Cronenberg collaborator who has also worked with del Toro in the past, and Andrew Neskoromny, a veteran of influential sci-fi series "Star Trek: The Next Generation." The two work in concert with one another beautifully. The sets are almost universally stunning, though the borrowed "Blade Runner" look in the Tokyo slums is admittedly played out (let's call for moratorium there). From the bones of fallen kaiju to the lair of black market organ harvester Hannibal Chau (Ron Perlman), every location design is beautiful and fully realized. Then there are, of course, the robots and monsters, which del Toro personally oversaw with a small army of artists (the designs were brought to life by the magicians at Industrial Light & Magic). Each cuts an imposing silhouette, like the three-armed jaeger Crimson Typhoon or the "category 5" monster seen at the end of the movie, one that combines del Toro's love for "Godzilla"-esque man-in-suit designs with his clear fascination with all things Lovecraft. You get the impression, from the design work, that del Toro didn't set out to simply make a monsters versus robots movie, it set out to make the monsters versus robots movie.
Rare is the movie that can make you feel like you're experiencing something you've never felt before while at the same time warming your heart in the way that only the nostalgia of something truly familiar can produce. That's the magic of "Pacific Rim." It's a nearly $200 million, cutting-edge spectacle that uses every high tech tool in the cinematic arsenal but can often times feel as wide-eyed and wondrous as sitting cross-legged on the living room carpet, watching Saturday morning cartoons. It's sense of striking awe is something few of the summertime juggernauts possess— they might be able to turn the destruction levels up to a deafening degree, but there's little in the way of real marvel. Del Toro, with his geeky obsessions and attention to detail, knows how to create this kind of response in the viewer. And it really does take someone like del Toro to produce such an honest and immersive effect, mostly because he's an actual nerd, instead of who is usually behind these movies—a committee of suits and creative cynically types trying to speculate what nerds want.
Jaegers. Kaiju. The Drift. The Breach. The Shatter Dome. Hell, there's even tangential plot threads about the toxicity of kaiju blood, which is given the nickname "Kaiju blue." A lot of this stuff is deal breaker nonsense to normal civilians, but if you can hang with it, it's great world-building texture. These are all terms cooked up by del Toro and his co-screenwriter Travis Beacham, and they are all phrases that pop up, again and again, in "Pacific Rim." While it does act as marble-mouthed sci-fi gobbledegook to some (okay, many and non-nerds don't care about the different names of each Jaeger robot), if you can get past it, it actually serves to deepen and enhance the bizarro, perfectly calibrated "Pacific Rim" world. It's a testament to del Toro and Beacham, too, that you know exactly what each of these things is and that they can be spoken about with effortlessness within the movie. Rarely is a world this authentically established, where every facet of the science fiction concept is, if not examined deeply, then at least given a passing mention (including, of course, kaiju crap). You can tell that the filmmakers are in love with this universe, and if you are one of those who can suspend their disbelief, you can't help but be similarly entranced.
The Visual Effects
Simply put, the visual effects by Industrial Light & Magic, are unlike anything we've ever seen before. Yes, there have been both giant monsters and giant robots in major motion pictures before, and a lot of them have been brought to life by ILM. But the level of detail, complexity, and creativity on display in "Pacific Rim" is unparalleled. You can feel every reptilian scale, watch every gear move underneath the giant armor plates. What's even more is that most of these battles take place in insane atmospheric conditions—in snow, in rain, underwater (though it should be said, many have criticized those settings for obscuring the fight scenes, we'll get to that). All of that has to be visualized too and it's impressive to say the least. On a pure visual level, "Pacific Rim" is overwhelming and overstuffed, to the point that only on second or third viewings will you be able to pick up on all the little flourishes and embellishments. There's so much of it that it's easy to ignore or take for granted, but visual effects movies as lovingly crafted, with this much attention to detail, come around far too seldom. Most movies are interested in the most bang for your buck, while del Toro and his collaborators are interested in something more, a real sense of visual splendor and opulence.
One of the major criticisms levied at "Pacific Rim" is the lack of characterization and background story as motivation. And while this is certainly true for some, the one character who receives due diligence in this realm is Rinko Kikuchi's Mako Mori, a Japanese jaeger fighting expert whom Marshall Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) is determined to keep out of the pilot's seat... err... elliptical machine. Her shaky mental state is hinted at ("vengeance") but we don't know exactly why he's keeping her from taking the reins until the test run with Raleigh in Gipsy Danger. During her first neural drift, she ends up falling down the rabbit hole of her own memory of her encounter with a Kaiju as a young girl. The amount of drama and stakes contained within this one flashback is more than the entire film really manages to carry out. Mako, as a young girl, runs down her city street with a kaiju chewing concrete city blocks just behind her. She carries her red shoe, wailing uncontrollably, and darts down an alley where Raleigh, with her in her drift, implores her to come back mentally. In this state, she manages to fire up the jaeger's cannon firing device, almost obliterating the crowd in the Shatter Dome, before Clifton Collins Jr.'s tech ops character pulls the (comically oversized) plug. This sequence is emotionally searing, beautifully shot and highly effective. It's also teased earlier and revisited later to reveal more about her character and is a fine piece of emotional and revealing filmmaking, that doesn't overdo it or skimp on the details, and it's clearly the mark of del Toro within this massive mash-em-up.

Not seen anyone else comment on the obvious discrepancy in the age of the young Asian girl and her adult self. If the war has been going on for 6 or 7 years and the young girl seems to be 6 or 7 years old, wouldn't the older Asian girl then be 13 or 14 years old ...not mid twenties onward!!
The film lost all credibility when I realised that.

This movie just had too caveman-agression/american badass stuff in it and no logic at all. Here is SOME of the stuff that i kept wondering about throughout the movie:
- Why would they use pure iron and no alloys? Pure iron is absolutely useless?
- Why would they make on of the Jaegers analogue? Analogue has pretty much no benefits and do btw get affeted by that EMP pulse.
- On of the jaegers had dieselengines? Seriously? Diesel? No way any current or future diesel engine could ever produce enough torque to move these robots at that speed. I dont care about how much better engines are in 20 years time. No way they are going to produce that much power.
- No current material(alloy or not) could ever sustain as much force as these robots are put under when they fight and move quickly.
- Modern helicopters(even the most powerfull ones) can only lift a few tons of weight. No way those 5-6 helikopters could ever lift those robots, which must weigh thousands of tones. It just wont happen.
- The ship, which were used as a weapon, could never be picked up without breaking in half. The construction is designet to be in water or in a dry dock. It could never be picked up, without shatter to pieces. The construction just wont hold.
-As the writter of the article above, i wonder in which way the mind brdige thing helps the pilots? The robots arms and legs is controlled by the pilots's limbs and and the ekstra gear is controlled by buttons. Only the plasma cannon has no obvious "button", but that can be the only reason for all the mind sharing stuff?
- Why are they not controlling the Jeagers wirelessly? Seems like one of the biggest problems is that the pilots are getting batteret to death inside the Jeagers, so why not just control them wirelessly?
And dont say that the neural connection probably would be too much for w wireless connection. All the mind control stuff can be translated to simple commands to move a leg forward and so on. It is obviously possible to do.
- Why did the geeky professor guy(not the Kaiju loving one - the other one) need 10m2 of blackboards to create something which seemed very similar to a exponential mathematical function? Seriously, this is something that you learn at the age of 17 or something - Not something you need einstein to figure out...
- A nuclear reactor does NOT explode like a nuclear bomb, just because it melts down. It melts and there will probably be a smaller explosion, but not a 1,2 megaton explosion. Just look at Chernobyl. It did melt down, but it didnt really explode like a nuclear bomb. So blowing up that gypsi Jaeger would never work.
And to the guy who wrote the article above: blowing up any man made bomb(konventional, fission or fusion doesent matter) inside the core of the earth would have no impact at all. The forces inside the earth are so massive that it just wouldnt matter. But it is not the case anyway since this were an another dimension and (weird) stuff.
Overall this movie were just too much for me. I am okay with badass action fun, but this were just stupid. It is very clear that whoever wrote, ceated, produced, instructed(and so on) never had any idea of how the real world function.
It were fun, mainly because it were stupid... And great effects obviously. Thumps up for that.

Just stole the movie, watched it (while skimming over some parts that made my ears bleed) and smiled because I did not spend a dime on this trash.
Flat, flaccid, devoid of any content, mindless action drivel for the attention span challenged. Utter US garbage.
Len | August 26, 2013 4:18 AM
Decent review, but it FAILS in a couple of places.
Namely, it's pretty dumb to imply or think that Del Toro was ripping off Sharknado in any way, shape, or form... given the relative production complexities involved, Pacific Rim probably entered production BEFORE Sharknado, and they both got released around the same time.
Secondly, what's so hard to understand about The Breach? It's a DIMENSIONAL PORTAL, yo. The nuke didn't go of in 'the center of the Earth', and even if it did, the Earth is huge, and sees forces much more powerful than that on a regular basis (do you know how much energy was released when Krakatoa exploded? Mount St. Helens?).
Put your thinking caps on tighter next time, a lot of this stuff isn't THAT hard to get.
dave | August 25, 2013 12:15 AM
Keith's right this was a good movie. You're just bashing it because you're afraid of what people will say if you like a giant robot vs monster movie. That and you got so much of the plot wrong I wonder if you even saw it or if you read the wiki.

This is such a bad article, the only reason you found some of the faults you found was probably because you were too busy talking to your "seatmate".
The whole sword thing? GD went through tons of changes during the 5 years, it's not outside the realm of belief that they decided to add swords this time around and they forgot to tell the protagonist about it but Mako oversaw the project which was why she activated the swords because she knew about them.
They straight up tell you the breach goes to a different dimension and not "[the core of the earth]", I don't even know why'd you think that.
The after credit scene. Think about it, Pacific Rim took waaaay longer to make than Sharknado, it's not like they just straight up copied them after seeing it and the scene was meant to be a joke, speaking of which.
This article is a joke and grasping at so many straws. The valid points it does make (the Asian and Russian characters being done incorrectly, some of the fight scenes) are so clear that writing them down in an article is just telling people stuff they already knew without developing much on what's being said besides going " Yeah, you know that part? That part was stupid."
Jenny | July 23, 2013 4:04 PM
I'll give you one explanation for the sword. Mako was the one who used the sword, a woman, the men just want to bash the monsters up and use their shiny guns. Mako is the only practical one. When in doubt, melee.
raf jordan | July 23, 2013 2:31 AM
wow, could not disagree more with this article. and i'm not saying the film is perfect, far from it. but everything the author didn't like, i liked lol. i couldn't believe what i was reading

Wow, spot on. Best article I've read about a movie in a long time. I like PR but I wanted to love it.
Bob | July 22, 2013 7:01 PM
I think what you are all forgetting is that this film is super fast-paced and fun. All that aside, I thought it explained most loop-holes quite well. As per the drone deal, well they stated in the beginning that it took 6 days to take down the first Kaiju and after it destroyed 3 cities, certainly the drones were no the best option. This was a great movie and obviously not meant to be a super dull one. It starts and takes you on an immense action-packed tour of the world for the duration. The action sequences, IMO were not that dull. My only problem is that I did not understand why they insisted on boxing with the monsters, rather than just stabbing them.... THey had a sword the entire time. If you watch the film you can point out about 8 instances where he could have just stabbed the fucking monsters.
berk | July 21, 2013 2:11 AM
Why del Toro focused on Son of Anarchy Top Gunning against Aussie Iceman instead of Mako and Stringer Bell is beyond me. Mako's backstory and drive to become a pilot combined with Stringer's father figure with a secret was far more interesting than the two sets of bland white guys the movie focused on.
blip | July 19, 2013 5:51 AM
As someone who loved the movie, I'm not exactly going to deliver an even-handed verdict on this article, but I thought that some of the 'bad' is incredibly harsh and nit-picky. A fair chunk of the characterisation is weak, but then Del Toro would have needed a film that spanned several extra hours to flesh out every character - I'm hoping that some of this makes it into a director's cut come home release. At any rate, Mako was a well-developed character whose motivations made sense. And it never felt like her story arc was there just to give the men purpose.
Some of the accents are indeed shocking, but I didn't find them ever hard to understand. I also never had a problem with the fight scenes - everything seemed pretty crystal clear to me. I don't know if the complaints about fight scene visibility are coming from people who saw the film in 3D? But no problems here in 2 dimensions.
Rule breaking? Didn't see much of that. Gipsy Danger has been revamped since it was first commissioned, hence why it can keep up in the final scenes. And it was made clear from the start that the better the neural connection (which is there to share the burden of supporting the device, not for communication), the better you fight. Mako and Raleigh have a stronger connection than Raleigh and his brother, so Gipsy Danger performs better. The sword... There's a good chance that, due to renovations to Gipsy, Raleigh didn't know about it. And it's understandable for Mako to forget about it during the stress of her first actual fight. Further, pilots probably don't use the evacuation pods too often as they'd be a sitting duck for the Kaiju. It was shown earlier that Kaiju will take an interest in small boats - they exist to wipe everything out - so why would you not stay in the Jaegers to fight until the bitter end? Better chance for survival, I'd say.
Poking holes in the mid-credit scene? Really?! It was a throwaway joke for those who sat through the credits! Really not cool.
Lkon | July 17, 2013 5:18 PM
And don't forget to label under the "bad": the film's women - or rather woman - and its misogyny. Of COURSE this geek's wet dream had to have a "spunky" and "bad-ass" yet constantly submissive, bowing Japanese waif with martial arts skills who is basically the first to crumble and the only one to cry and act like a teenager (Slamming a door in frustration even! Talk about infantilization and offensive stereotyping). She's the ONLY woman vaguely visible in this picture besides the "Russian" extra, and thus the only one who is of any importance to the plot. Talk about the Smurfette Syndrome in action. She is only begrudgingly given a chance to be a hero because of course she's also the love interest (what else are women good for, besides eye candy and hinting at romance to drum up the interest of the paying ladyfolk?) and labeled as "strong" when compared to the other "heroes" else in the flick, she is portrayed as if she isn't. I'm sorry but even her background info that supposedly fleshes her out as a character deserved to make a damsel-in-distress and crybaby out of her. Do you think they'd ever done that to Hunnam's character? Of course not. Mako having lost her brother/sister years ago and being brought out of retirement instead of Hunnam would've added as much, if not more depth to her character without resorting to age-old misogynist and racist tactics and tropes. Women are already invisible enough in movies as it is, let alone women whose characters are approached just as human beings, not just owners of boobs and a straight man's fantasy.

And fanboys go to see every movie that comes out, (and like most of them), so it's not like the sci-fi nerds are going to save movies like these by themselves. The general public are TIRED of these cookie-cutter action movies. This is why Spielberg says that the business is in trouble.
clamsy | July 17, 2013 4:43 PM
Another clumsy attempt at saving a failing blockbuster comic book movie. "Yeah, it sucks, but go ahead and spend youre 12 bucks on it, anyway." It's not like movies are SUPPOSED to be good or anything...
jski | July 17, 2013 2:12 AM
Couldn't agree more with this list. This movie is awe inspiringly realized, but you cringe/laugh every time someone speaks and the plot is advanced. If you go into this movie just to do some sight-seeing, you'll be more than satisfied.

JimHarbor | July 16, 2013 6:04 PM
I find it odd that you can be reviewing the film when it's clear you didnât understand so much of it.
I have an infinite respect journalist (maybe be a bit too much) so when I tell you I find it odd that you didnât grasp things I did, I donât mean it to gloat but out of general shock.
I mean you seem to think the Kaiju Makers live in the center of the Earth when not only does the opening narration explain itâs a portal to another dimension, but the term "other universe" is used all the time. They aren't inside the planet; it's another dimension entirely.
That said I do agree the fights were bit off (the undersea battle was anti-climactic compared to the Hong Kong fight).
Though I wonder why you didnât point out the quirky narrative flow. Very odd, with one little act and one big act, instead of a proper narrative curve.

I get the fun in snarking out at a movie like Pacific Rim-- I shredded Prometheus for days after I saw it in similar fashion. The difference is that PacRim was fun as hell and that's all it was intended to be. It's a movie for 10 year olds and/or people with a still-extant inner child. I believe this film is destined to be a minor or full-fledged classic in the sci-fi / action genre. If I am right, it stands in good company with a lot of classics that have believability gaps big enough to drive a boat-sword through. A planet-killing battlestation? Using body-heat to power a computer simulated world? Mind melds? A golden box that melts people's heads? Stupidity! Insanity! Who were the morons that conceived of such nonsense!

RE: the "multiple ethnicities" remarks about other movies being about one race saving the world.
I should remind you that in the overwhelming majority of Japanese kaiju movies, it's always the Japanese saving the world without any help from anyone else. Nick Adams in MONSTER ZERO (1965) was a rare and notable exception. In fact, GODZILLA VS. KING GHIDORAH (1992) was probably closer to Japan's true feelings. In it, the Americans and Russians were the bad guys who manipulate the monsters through time travel to destroy Japan in the 1990s to subvert Japan's "economic miracle." (I would argue that Japan didn't need any help busting its own economic bubble not long afterwards.)

Conventional weapons take too long to kill a Kaiju.
It took the military 6 days to kill the first Kaiju and they still had to nuke it- Not exactly something you want to do to your cities on a regular basis.
KF | July 15, 2013 8:12 PM
"Maybe every other sentence out of their mouths is intelligible, and because theyâre either talking about kaiju math or Vulcan mind-melding with a seafaring alien dinosaur at a high pitched, panicky squeal, it only complicates matters. As our seatmate said, âthat might as well have been in French.â "
Were they real that difficult to understand? I don't know, seemed like basic technobabble to me, very easy to follow, very easy to extract the necessary plot info from what they said when they said it.

Guillermo Del Toro has talent , but he is always inconsistent. Pan's Labyrinth is his only film that was great from beginning to end.
ronnie | July 15, 2013 5:29 PM
im worried that youre confused about the dimensional portal. one opening is on earth, and that gateway seems to take you to another universe, not the center of the earth.
i liked the characters. the characters in del toro's other movies are always way too melodramatic. but they worked here. charlie day was the least annoying ive ever seen him.
yeah, it would have been cool if one fight scene didnt take place at night in pissing rain.
so it lost to grown ups 2, but isnt it doing really well over seas?
i liked pacific rim way better than man of steel. but there were both flawed films.

Pretty sure Hunnamâs character wasnât presented as bad boy more unorthodox in his execution and surprising with the fight moves and such. It would not have made sense for him to be the rebellious dick most Hollywood typeâs play as it would not have worked with the technology or philosophy that the film presents of a world coming together as one to fight a common enemy.
I thought the fights were incredibly easy to follows unlike the much favoured fast editing and cutting of recent summer blockbusters. I also enjoyed Day and Burn Gorman even if they didnât completely work they were a nice light aside from all the EPIC destruction. I can see where youâre coming from with your other criticisms but I donât agree with them 100% it seems like nit-picking. I wanted a gorgeous looking film with giant robots smashing giant monsters, Pacific Rim did the job. The biggest disappointment is the current US Box Office Top Tenâ¦Grown Ups 2â¦(yes I am being a snob).

I went in for giant monsters vs giant robots, came out with that and the happiness that someone finally made a live action blockbuster that feels like a throwback to old school Gojira and Japanese anime.
I didn't expect levels of backstory nor did I want it in this case.

Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said a jury has convicted a 22-year-old Flint Township man for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl on numerous occasions.
A jury returned a verdict Thursday afternoon that convicted Curtis Conway Bailey of three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct for incidents that occurred between April, 2009 and May, 2010.
According to testimony, the assaults occurred on numerous occasions while the victim stayed with her family at Bailey's house and at least one time at the home of the victim. The victim testified that the assaults would occur while she would pretend to be sleeping and came to the attention of authorities after the victim submitted a couple of questions in her teacher's question box during health class at her elementary school.
"We take criminal sexual assault cases against children very seriously," said Leyton. "Although we cannot undo the damage that has been done to this young lady, I am pleased that we were able to see that justice was done under the law."
A sentencing date has been scheduled for April 8, 2013.
Criminal sexual conduct in the first-degree involving a child less than 13-years old is a felony punishable by up to life in prison or any term of years and carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison. Criminal sexual conduct in the second degree is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

The San Francisco Giants completed their stunning sweep of the Detroit Tigers on Sunday evening, defeating the Tigers 4-3 in 10 innings to claim their second championship in three years. Entering the World Series just five days earlier as heavy favorites, the Tigers scored just six runs in four games and now have the entire winter to wonder where it all went wrong.
For Al Beaton of Bless You Boys, being swept in the World Series was a disappointing conclusion to a season that almost lived up to its lofty expectations:
Cabrera looks at a fastball over the heart of the plate for a called strike three.
Season over.
This World Series loss hurts much more than when the 2006 Tigers fell in five games. No one expected those Tigers to advance to the playoffs, let alone the World Series. In 2012, expectations were different. As in: out of control and sky high. Despite being highly flawed, this Tigers team was supposed to make it to the World Series with its triumvirate of superstars, then win it for their desperate to win octogenarian owner.
They accomplished the former, but failed at the latter, much in thanks to those flaws and those superstars having a very rough four games. 83-year-old owner Mike Ilitch will have to wait another year for a shot at his white whale.
How do you find yourself swept out of a World Series? By not supporting a mostly lights out pitching staff by scoring only six runs in four games. The Tigers' offense wasn't record setting awful, but damn, damn close.
On the Tigers' side of the ledger, that's how this series will be remembered. Four games of offensive futility.
The series can be summed up in four words. The better team won.
Now I know how Yankees fans felt after the ALCS.

There's an Internet meme started by a Phillies parody account on Twitter, and it's real simple: should of. You're team should of kept this player, should of traded that player. The tortured grammar is intentional. It signals that you're not really serious, and it also garners a bunch of responses from the hall monitors of grammar. It's the best.
But the Orioles are the "should have" team. This isn't irony. I would have loved to use the "should of" construct over and over again, but it didn't fit. Dang it.
This is because the Orioles are filled with players who should have been better, who went down a dark rabbit hole at some point in their careers, and finally emerged on the 2012 team, helping the Orioles to an improbable playoff spot. If you're looking for a forced narrative, here you go: the should-have team.
Brian Matusz should have been good. He was picked the spot before Buster Posey, fourth overall, in the 2008 draft, and he was supposed to tear through the minor leagues. He did. He was supposed to help the Orioles right away. He did. And then … goodness, no idea. Matusz had the kind of performances that usually end with a visit to Dr. Yocum or Dr. Jobe.
But he came back. Against all odds, he's a part of the late-inning calculus for a team that relies on its bullpen. Brian Matusz is pitching quality innings for the Orioles. Well, he should have.
Jason Hammel would have had a career year if it weren't for the injuries, but he still prevented runs at a better rate at any time over his career. Well, he should have. The 30-year-old is 6'6", with good command and a fastball that's one of the ten fastest in baseball among starters. He should have been good this whole time. He just needed to get out of Colorado for everyone to see it.
Chris Davis was a neo-Dave Kingman for the Orioles this year, whomping 33 home runs and keeping his on-base percentage above water. Well, he should have. That was the plan the whole time in Texas, and that was what the Orioles were hoping for when they acquired him. In retrospect, the shaky strikeout-to-walk ratios in the minors were the red flag of a player who would need longer to develop, but he used to be one of the best power prospects in the game. He should have been a net positive to an offense.
But of all the players up there, there isn't a should-have player quite like Nate McLouth, who should have been much, much better. Or to put it differently, he shouldn't have become the punchline that he ended up as. When he was 25, he was an electric player, flashing emerging power and substantial speed. When he was 26, he led the league in doubles and hit 26 home runs, stealing 23 bases in 26 attempts. He was an All-Star, and someone was kind enough to throw him a 10th-place MVP vote. His defense was always overrated, but when the Braves acquired him, he was already an established commodity.
Then his power disappeared completely. And more than his power, his contact went into the toilet. He was never a high-average guy, but he was suddenly a consistent threat to finish under the Mendoza Line every season. When the Pirates tried to bring him back, it was supposed to be a feel-good story, but after 50 at-bats, even the Pirates weren't willing to put up with him. He was still just 30 -- born in the same year as Angel Pagan and Curtis Granderson, guys who were reinventing themselves at the same time McLouth was devolving. But it looked like McLouth's career was over.
Instead, he's an asset for a major-league team. Well, he should have been. When he was in his prime, he wasn't supposed to be a fringe player by his late-20s. That didn't make any sense.
I'm not suggesting that we should have seen the Orioles coming, or that these players were all especially likely to be good. But at one point in their careers, we would have been less surprised by the lot of them. They should have performed like this at one point in their careers. We were expecting this kind of performance before we forgot all about it. All that's missing is Matt Wieters becoming a middle-of-the-order force. Because, well, he should have. Maybe next year. Or maybe this week. Should of seen it coming, guys.

The AVS Program Office and many of the teaching, research and Cooperative Extension faculty and graduate students are housed in Hitchner Hall.
Hitchner Hall is also home to a number of research and service laboratories that provide valuable research information to the livestock producers of the state. These include the Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, Embryology Lab and a new state-of-the-art Digital Imaging Lab.
Research laboratories in Rogers Hall are dedicated to nutrition and reproductive physiology. Many of our students have either worked in the labs or chosen to do laboratory- based projects for their senior class presentations. These experiences allow them to acquire additional skills working with research animals, computers and other technologies, and laboratory equipment.
Located just one mile from the center of campus is the J. F. Witter Teaching and Research Center, which is the heart of the school's livestock teaching and research programs. The farm consists of over 500 acres of forest, pasture and crop land. Livestock wastes from the facility are recycled through the farm's composting facility. In addition, the Small Animal Facility on campus houses a variety of laboratory animals.
Animal and Veterinary Sciences programs are geared towards a hands-on approach. These facilities provide students with a multitude of animal experiences necessary for jobs in the livestock, veterinary and medical research fields. Campus lectures are reinforced by labs held at the Witter Center where students can actually touch and feel the animal whose physiology and nutrition they have been studying.

azelastine ophthalmic Warnings
azelastine ophthalmic Uses
Azelastine is used to treat itching eyes caused by allergies (allergic conjunctivitis). This medication is an antihistamine. It works by blocking certain natural substances (such as histamines) responsible for allergic symptoms.
Do not use this medication to treat redness and irritation due to wearing contact lenses.How to use azelastine ophthalmic
To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
Remove contact lenses before using this medication because it contains a preservative that can be absorbed by them. Wait at least 10 minutes after using this medication before putting the lenses back in. Do not wear contact lenses if your eyes are red.
Use this medication usually twice a day or as directed by your doctor. Tilt your head back, look upward and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed.
Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after each use.
If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.
Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
azelastine ophthalmic Side Effects
This medication may temporarily sting or burn your eyes for a minute or two when applied. Temporary blurred vision, headache, or a bitter taste in your mouth may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: trouble breathing, eye pain.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
azelastine ophthalmic Precautions
Before using azelastine, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as preservatives like benzalkonium chloride), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history.
This drug may cause temporary blurred or unstable vision after you apply it. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires clear vision until you are sure you can perform such activities safely.
This medication should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is not known whether this drug passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
azelastine ophthalmic Interactions
Your healthcare professionals (e.g., doctor or pharmacist) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use.
Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
azelastine ophthalmic Overdose
This medicine may be harmful if swallowed. If swallowing or overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center.NOTES:
Do not share this medication with others.
Consult your doctor for additional ways to minimize and relieve your symptoms (e.g., avoiding irritants that trigger allergies, using cold compresses and lubricating eye drops).MISSED DOSE:
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.STORAGE:
Store upright and tightly closed between 36-77 degrees F (2-25 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep all medicines away from children and pets.

Blue Jays claim lefty Maine from Indians
Six pitchers activated from DL; Cousins, Herndon designated to clear roster space
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays continued their busy month of October on the waiver wire by claiming left-hander Scott Maine from Cleveland on Wednesday afternoon.
Maine appeared in 30 games for the Cubs and Indians last season, while posting a 6.07 ERA. The 27-year-old also pitched in 30 games at the Triple-A level, and went 4-2 with a 2.72 ERA.
The Blue Jays have now made six claims this month, with the main goal of acquiring some players through waivers in order to build depth at the Minor League level.
Toronto also announced on Wednesday that Kyle Drabek, Drew Hutchison, Dustin McGowan, Sergio Santos, J.A. Happ and Luis Perez were all activated from the 60-day disabled list. Santos and Happ are the only pitchers from that group that are expected to be ready for the start of Spring Training.
In order to make room on the 40-man roster, outfielder Scott Cousins and right-hander David Herndon were designated for assignment by the club. Toronto currently doesn't have any openings on its 40-man roster, but that is expected to change in the near future.
Cousins was claimed off waivers from the Marlins earlier this month, and has batted .183 with nine RBIs in 175 career at-bats at the big league level. If no team puts in a claim, the Blue Jays would be able to outright Cousins to Triple-A Buffalo.
Herndon was also claimed earlier this month, after allowing four earned runs in 7 2/3 innings in Philadelphia last season. The 27-year-old is coming off Tommy John surgery and is not expected to be available until at least June.

The Bog House
Fog-enshrouded several times each day thanks to the wonders of
modern technology, this otherworldly environment is home to a variety of warmth and moisture-loving plants. Tropical
carnivorous pitcher plants, Nepenthes sp, are found hanging from trellises over the
entrance and climbing up support posts. Other carnivorous species found here are a few Mexican butterworts,
Pinguicula moranensis, in a raised bed and a few American pitcher plants,
Saracenia sp, in the large, central peat bog.
The non-descript bladderwort, Utricularia sandersonii,
is growing in a bed at the base of a wetwall where Maidenhair ferns flourish in the shade of the huge cut-work leaves of monstera
plants. This foggy, boggy situation is also perfect for many tropical ornamental plants including brilliant orchids, fragrant gingers,
colorful anthuriums, aromatic hoya and the carnivorous plant imitators, Dutchman's pipe and calico vine.

The NFL is investigating the hacking of a phone conversation between general managers Buddy Nix of the Buffalo Bills and Mark Dominik of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The call was taped by the hackers, then posted on Deadspin.com.
LINK: http://deadspin.com/pranksters-record-two-nfl-gms-discussing-free-agency-ov-452366184
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy says Tuesday the league's security and legal teams are looking into Deadspin's report. The Bills say they have contacted the league and are also reviewing it with their legal counsel.
Deadspin reports the phone call occurred Friday and was taped by two 20-year-olds whose names were not revealed. The website said the two initially attempted to reach Nix at Bills headquarters by identifying themselves as Dominik.
After Nix made numerous attempts to phone the number, the two were able to connect one of the calls with Dominik, the website reported.

I love a good scary movie. And since going to see them by yourself isn't a good idea, I have Brenda, my scary movie buddy.
We have been to countless movies together, but nine times out of 10, it's a scary movie. The reason for this is because you lose a part of the scare if you watch it at home. Without the surround sound and giant picture, it's just not the same.
But when Brenda and I met up earlier this week to take in the paranormal thriller "The Conjuring," we weren't prepared for what was in store. We thought we'd get a good jump here and there, just like all the other movies we've seen before, and have a good laugh at ourselves.
But this would prove to not be our normal movie-going experience. The movie sucked us in and didn't let us go for two hours. I watched the majority of it in two positions: With my hands covering my face with a small slit to watch through or with my knees pulled up to my chest, peeping over them to see.
At one point, I jumped so high I nearly fell out of my seat. The man sitting a couple seats down decided he should check on me at this point.
"You OK over there?"
"Yeah, I think so. This is crazy!"
"Girl, I saw this thing on Friday. You ain't seen nothing yet!"
Oh great, I thought. I leaned over and told Brenda what he said. She had the same look of despair I had.
I've nearly soiled this seat twice, I thought, what else can they throw at us? A lot it seems.
When the ending credits started to roll across the screen and the lights came up, I turned to Brenda. She looked exhausted. It's then that I noticed how tense my shoulders and neck muscles were. Then I noticed my stomach was upset. I had literally just spent the last two hours completely stressed out.

'Eight' has the same vowel sound as 'A', though it's a little shorter. However, 'eight' ends in the vowel /t/. In certain contexts this /t/ may not be exploded, and some speakers may produce it a a glottal stop, but the two words are always produced differently.
