Hey, Everybody! Let's Harpoon Some Space Garbage
The amount of debris orbiting the Earth is alarming. It's a threat to both space science, and business -- space business. The European Space Agency just wrapped up its 6th European Conference on Space Debris to decide what to do about it. One of the ideas? Let's shoot harpoons and nets at the junk. How soon before Space Junkers is a show on the Discovery Channel?Read More

The normal workload at UCD is 15 units per quarter. If all your preparatory courses are completed, 15 units every quarter will allow you to graduate in 2 years.
The UCD academic experience may be very different from your previous academic experience. To do well, you should plan to spend at least 30 - 40 hours a week attending classes and studying. (The same as a full-time job!) Students with large work or family commitments should discuss an appropriate amount of units per quarter with their major staff adviser. We do have a part-time program (certain criteria must be met).
We recommend that first-quarter transfer students balance their schedule with 2 major courses and 1-3 non-major courses such as General Education, English, non-science courses, seminars, research, or internships to reach 13-15 units.
We know you that want to graduate as quickly as possible, but be aware:
Instead of thinking about what is the fastest way to complete your degree, focus on getting as much out of your time at UCD as possible. We highly recommend that you include courses and special opportunities that will enhance your future life. There is a lot you can do in the next two years on campus.

Denial is the first stage in the DABDA theory of coping with death. Most people will enter this stage first after receiving a terminal diagnosis.
We all want to believe that nothing bad can happen to us. Subconsciously, we might even believe we are immortal. When a person is given the diagnosis of a terminal illness, it's natural to enter a stage of denial and isolation. He may flat-out disbelieve what the doctor is telling him and seek out second and third opinions. He may demand a new set of tests, believing the results of the first ones to be false. Some people may even isolate themselves from their doctors and refuse to undergo any further medical treatment for a time.
During this stage, one might also isolate himself from his family and friends to avoid discussions about his illness. He may believe on some level that by not acknowledging the diagnosis it will cease to exist.
This stage of denial is usually short-lived. Soon after entering it, many begin to accept their diagnosis as reality. The patient may come out of isolation and resume medical treatment.
Some people, however, will use denial as a coping mechanism long into their illness and even to their death. Extended denial isn't always a bad thing; it doesn't always bring increased distress. Sometimes we mistakenly believe that people need to find a way to accept their death to be able to die peacefully. Those of us who have seen people maintain denial until the end know this isn't always true.
Those who successfully move through denial will usually enter a new stage of coping -- Anger.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Monday is the last day to donate to an effort to raise money for a Knox County campaign to place wreaths on veterans' graves.
So far more than $20,000 has been raised for the county's Wreaths Across America campaign, which amounts to more than 2,000 wreaths. The first $5,000 donated was matched by a sponsorship from Pilot Flying J.
Priority Ambulance donated another $5,000 on Monday.
Mayor Tim Burchett launched the effort last week. The campaign aims to place a wreath on the grave of each of the 6,200 veterans buried at two East Tennessee Veterans Cemetery locations in Knox County.
The mayor's office says more funding is needed to reach that goal. Sponsorships of $15 per wreath are available through the Knox County website through Monday.
The wreaths will be placed on graves December 14.

Relaxing Family Vacation
Review submitted: July 5, 2014 Date of arrival: May 30, 2014
We visited SC to spend some time with some family that didn't have room for us all at their home. This was a perfect location for us, close to our family and SO close to the beach. We weren't over crowded with downtown Myrtle traffic and people, but we were close enough to visit when we wanted. This time of year was not busy at all. We walked to restaurants within about 10 minutes. And the beach was even closer. The pool was fantastic to have when we just wanted to relax in the water without the waves of the ocean. The owners were very accommodating, checking in and making sure we were settled in, and had what we needed. They even had some basics that we didn't think to bring or pick up from the store, available at the home for us. There was some confusing with the keys when we arrived but the management company handled that very quickly for us. The only inconvenient thing was having to rent/bring sheets and towels, however, I can definitely see why the owners handle it this way and would probably manage it the same if this were my rental. I'm glad we found this condo, and will definitely contact Linda again if we need another rental while in the Myrtle Beach area. Thanks for the great accommodations!
Owners response: So happy you enjoyed your stay. Wish there was a better solution to the linens but not everyone who rents has the respect to leave items for the next guest!

Wonderful Spacious Condo
Review submitted: July 17, 2011 Date of arrival: July 9, 2011
We had a wonderful trip to Surfside Beach this year! This condo was just perfect. It was spacious, clean, fully stocked, and close to everything. You could see the ocean from the balcony. The pool was steps away. The ocean was only a one minute walk (if that). My family with two small children and my parents all stayed here. We will definitely be reserving this condo again! Thanks Linda!!

We had such a good time on our vacation. Your condo was perfect!! It was more than we expected, well stocked, clean and the master bedroom was great. The weather was perfect. Loved the decks for early morning coffee and late nite drinks! The pond was an added bonus, my one son loves to fish and he spend hours trying to catch a big one! We look forward to coming again.
Thanks Linda and Bob!!!

The weather was HOT but the condo great for relaxing and coolong off. The huge balcony on each side of the condo were really nice! It had a fully stocked kitchen, nice bedrooms and a lot of space in the living/ dining areas. The people around were very friendly. We had a great time at the pool.

This was our third time renting your property and we truly had a wonderful vacation! The condo is clean and spacious with everything we could possibly need! We really enjoy the family atmosphere of the Surfside Beach area but yet the options are endless for things to do with small children in the area as well. Thanks again for being so gracious and hospitable - our experience renting from you has been great!

Owners response: We also spend a lot of time in our condo and therefore make sure that it is comfortable and well stocked. We continuously upgrade the furniture and are very happy to know that our renters enjoy their stay here.

Great place for family vacation
Review submitted: January 11, 2010 Date of arrival: August 9, 2009
This was a great condo for two families to share on vacation. The owner was great, they provided us great information before we left and answered a few minor questions when we were there. The condo had a fantastic location - just across the street from the beach and just a few steps from the pool. Walking distance to restaurants (we loved Bubba's Fish Shack) and far enough away from Myrtle to not deal with all the hassles and traffic. We loved the balcony to enjoy cocktail hour(s) and watch the ocean and the moon rise after the kids went to bed. There was enough room for all 8 of us as well.

Hi Linda,
We all had a wonderful time! Your place was great! The sun was hot, the water was warm and the breeze was wonderful!
I really couldn't think of anything else you could do to make it any better than it already is. We had plenty of space for our two families. ( 4 adults and 4 children) We had everything we needed. Surfside Beach was great! Nice and quiet..........and still close enough to all the
Thank you for all your concerns and help with renting your condo. You have been wonderful to deal with. The whole experience was great.

First off, Canada got 3 medals today – finally! Carol Huynh may be tiny, but she can whip your ass. You have to watch the footage of her flipping her opponent onto her back for a big score. So much to like about this story – parents immigrated from Viet Nam for a better life, she had only 2 senior championships and she defeated a world and Olympic champion. When asked about her victory, Carol said, "I knew I wanted to go in with supreme confidence in my abilities and not doubting myself one second. That's what I did, and I wrestled the match of my life, and it was awesome.â€
An article in the The Post says that the majority of Canadians are more interested in the competition and doing our best than in bravado and single-minded focus on winning, but her chutzpah is what got her that medal. And she cried while the anthem was played – gets me every time.
Of course, kudos also to Scott Frandsen & Dave Calder (silver, rowing) and Tonya Verbeek (bronze, wrestling).
And did you see this penguin who was knighted by Norway? Honestly, with the high-necked saunter and the inspection of the guard, I'm not sure you can tell the difference between him and the royal family.
Also, it's Madonna's 50th. I think I can freely admit that she's been a soundtrack of my life – there's been more bum-shakin', drinking, sexing, aerobics, relaxing, singing in the living room and naked euchre to Ms Madge than just about anyone else. You'd think I was a 6 ft tall trannie from New York or something. There's a hilarious story with my belt buckle and "Justify My Love" that I can't say much more about. Ask Tiger.

A new feature I have decided to add to the site is to profile things to do in Korea. Last year there was a discussion initiated on multiple blogs about if Korea is boring. I have never found Korea boring and if anything having to much to do, however the complaint about Korea being boring is one I have heard all to often. So I plan on building a list of things to do in Korea. I figured I would begin with Dobong Mountain (Dobongsan) due to its close proximity to both Uijongbu and Seoul where many soldiers and expats live.
Dobong mountain is a prominent mountain towering 739 meters over Uijongbu and is one of the most popular mountains to hike in the entire country due to its close proximity to Seoul and easy accessibly to the various trails leading up the mountain from both bus and subway stations. I have two suggested itineraries marked on the map below:
Without a doubt, the most popular route up the mountain is from the Dobongsan Station on Seoul Subway Line 1. To reach the trailhead from the station just simply walk across the street and walk through the ville of soju stands, restaurants, and hiking equipment stores to the entrance of Pukansan National Park which encompasses Dobong mountain. If you get lost just simply follow the army of well equipped ajushis and ajummas who look like their ready to under go a Himalayan expedition due to all the gear they are carrying than a simple hike up a mountain. I once saw an ajushi with an ice axe tied to his rucksack hiking up the trail and it was spring.
You cannot miss the national park entrance and will need to pay about a 3,000 won entrance fee to get in the park. The trail from the main park entrance is the quickest way to the summit of Dobongsan, and additionally the lower slopes are filled with picnickers lounging in the waters of the creek that runs down the side of the mountain; so do be surprised by large crowds and a carnival atmosphere when beginning this trail.
If you are not feeling energetic enough to climb up the mountain there are a variety of trails that branch off from the main trail that leads to a variety of Buddhist temples, shrines, and hermitages the litter the lower slopes of the mountain that are worth checking out:
If you go in the spring time you can see the variety of flowers that cover the lower slopes of the mountain as well:
Without any stops and only moderate traffic on the trail from fellow hikers, you should be able to climb to the summit of Dobongsan on this trail in about an hour and a half if you are in a moderate level of fitness. Just keep following the signs to manjangbong to reach the top of the mountain and along the way, make sure you check out the great views of Uijongbu:
Also I recommend taking a sip of some of the natural spring water that comes out of the mountain. Don't worry, you won't get sick. I have drank natural spring water in Korea on a variety of mountains and have never gotten sick. I found the water to be quite cool and refreshing when hiking on a hot day.
Once you reach the top of Dobongsan, you will be in between two massive granite peaks. It is here that you need to do some rock climbing in order to reach the actual summit, which can be a bit dangerous at times due to the amount of climbers also on the mountain and high winds. Once at the summit you have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains and cities below:
If you look closely at the above picture you can see some hikers on one of the peaks at the top of Dobongsan. It gives you an idea of how massive the granite peaks of Dobongsan are.
From the top of the mountain I recommend heading down one of the various trails to the north of the mountain in order to see some more of the scenery of the area. It is worthwhile to visit Mangwolsa Temple on the northeast side of the mountain by following the marked trail there. From the temple you can go to Mangwolsa Station where you can jump back on to Seoul Subway Line 1 again to get back home.
For the more energetic people who want to get away from the huge crowds on the main trail from Dobongsan Station, I recommend hiking on the southern trail up the mountain from the Dobong Station subway stop. Finding the trail head can be a little difficult. To reach the trail cross the street from the subway station and then walk through the ville and veer to your right. You should eventually come upon a creek with a bike path that usually has kids playing down in the water. Just simply follow the creek or the road adjacent to the creek towards the mountain. You will know you are nearing the trail head when the city gives away to a lush countryside.
You will be at the actual trail head when you reach a small store that sells snacks and water bottles to hikers heading up the mountain. Just follow the road to the right that eventually turns into the trail. Don't expect to see a park entrance because there isn't any here, which means no park fee, which is an added bonus of taking this trail.
Towards the beginning of the trail you will come upon an elaborate family cemetery:
The cemetery is very well maintained with a few statues and tablets that leads me to believe this cemetery may be for a rich yangban noble or even a family member of past royalty.
Past the cemetery, the trail is not as obvious to follow as the main trail I mentioned earlier because it is not as well maintained and there are very few hikers on this trail, which was alright with me. There are a few other trails that branch off to some isolated Buddhist temples and hermitages on this trail, but all the signs are in Korean. Just keep following the trail that goes up the mountain is the best advice I can give you if you cannot read Korean. This hike is much longer and more strenuous than the main trail hike. Make sure you bring plenty of water with you because there are no natural springs along this trail unlike the main trail.
As you can see in the above picture this trail skirts the southern edge of Dobongsan and then ascends up the mountain's southern side. Once you reach the mountain's top ridgeline you will be rewarded with a sweeping view of Pukansan mountain to the south:
Continue following the ridgeline going towards the north. The trail is rough in spots and a little bit more busy due to hikers from other trails converging on the ridgeline. However, the vantage point of Dobongsan's numerous peaks from this ridgeline is spectacular:
If you look closely at the above picture you should be able to see the ant like bodies of people standing on top of the massive granite peak. By climbing this ridgeline it is easy to understand where the classical Korean artists received their inspiration from:
Above is a view of Dobongsan from the northeast from Camp Jackson that lies on the mountains slopes. If you are a USFK soldier you could always walk over to Camp Jackson and get on the inter-camp bus there or take an AAFES taxi back to your camp instead of taking the subway.
Overall, the easy accessibility and various sights on the mountain make it an easy destination for both GIs and expats to check out, especially soldiers since the mountain is adjacent to Uijongbu which is home to the US 2nd Infantry Division. Despite the easy accessibility of the mountain I have seen few foreigners climbing up the mountain before, so hopefully this travelog encourages others out there to visit this great mountain.

Vandy Transfer Target Carson DesRosiers Picks Providence College
More bad news for Vanderbilt basketball, as former Wake Forest big man chose a return to his New England roots over coming to Nashville in 2013. Carson DesRosiers, a two-year starter for the Demon Deacons, had strongly considered Vanderbilt both out of high school and after choosing to leave Wake Forest, but ultimately chose Ed Cooley's rebuilding project in Providence instead. It's another tough blow for a Vandy squad that is short on big men for the future. The 'Dores have just three players - Josh Henderson, Shelby Moats, and Rod Odom - that are 6'8" or taller suiting up for the team in 2012-13. Meanwhile, Providence's resurgence continues with the addition of DesRosiers, who will join five star recruits Kris Dunn and Ricky Ledo in the Beehive of Industry.

Images of cancer victims who have passed on flashed across the screen on the darkened infield of Paloma Valley High School Saturday night. Moments later came images of cancer survivors -- both those now healthy and those still fighting the disease.
In between, hundreds of people slowly walked a lap around the track, led by a man playing "Amazing Grace" on bagpipes. With the stadium lights turned off and a full moon in the distance, those determined to help the world beat cancer stopped occasionally to read messages written on illuminated bags lining the track.
Saturday's opening ceremony, with Mayor Scott Mann in attendance, included a lap walked by cancer survivors, each wearing a bright purple T-shirt. As the day progressed, volunteers took turns walking laps, some carrying brightly decorated "spirit sticks" like batons. Each of the 23 teams formed to raise donations and promote unity were required to have at least one walker on the track at all times.
Booths were set up in the infield, displaying photos and information about various forms of cancer. A band played on stage during the day. Tents were set up for those who stayed the night as the relay continued for 24 hours.
"The goal for this event is to raise $62,000, and we came in with $58,000, so we'll far exceed our goal this year," said Cathi Hill, senior manager of five local Relay for Life events and a cancer survivor.
"I'm very excited to be here," said Regina Keller, chair of the Relay for Life Menifee comittee. "This is a great organization that touches many lives. I love seeing all the purple shirts out here and knowing we are truly making a difference."
Madison Keith, an 11-year-old Canyon Lake resident, was diagnosed with cancer in January. She is receiving treatments at Kaiser Hospital in Fontana. Along with her father Kevin, mother Rebecca and sister Caitlin, Madison attended Saturday's event.
"She's had four rounds of chemo and has three more to go," her mother said. "She's handling it well. She can't go to school because she can't be exposed to other kids, but her teacher comes to the house. She has a strong faith."

I enjoy reading about America and Americans from people who are from other cultures. This interview with a Kuwaiti scientist who studied at Boston University has all sorts of strange tidbits, ranging from praise for the Mujahideen in Gaza to scorn for Arab leaders. And there's this:
"Q: From your experience do you think there is greater scientific awareness among the general public in America than here?"
"A: Not all of them are scientists or economists in America. They are very ordinary people. Most of them don't know about their own country. But you don't need to be scientists. But I see Islamic values of honesty in them. We are honest too, but it's a way of life there. An American will not lie, even for little things. There is no such as a white lie. A lie is a lie. This advancement of America does not come from a void. It is born out of the sheer dedication of people, who worked not just for money but for the sake of the nation's prosperity."
I like that observation that we do not lie. It may be an Islamic value, as the doctor says, but in this country, it clearly derives from our country's Judeo-Christian foundation. I t's the 8th Commandment: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. I can only conclude from the declaration that honesty is a way of life in the U.S. that the opposite must be true in Kuwait, where dishonesty must be commonplace and unremarkable.

Here are 17 ambulatory surgery centers that offer patients ConforMIS customized knee implants.
Ambulatory Surgery Center at Old Bridge (N.J.). Nasser Ani, MD, performs knee surgery at the Ambulatory Surgery Center of Old Bridge and offers his patients customized implants. Dr. Ani practices with Orthopaedic & Spine Institute of New Jersey. In addition to performing general orthopedic procedures, Dr. Ani is a fellowship-trained spine surgeon.
Brookside Surgery Center (Battle Creek, Mich.). Brookside Surgery Center, partnered with Meridian Surgical Partners and Bronson Battle Creek, is an 11,540-square-foot, multispecialty surgery center. Orthopedic surgeon Joseph Burkhardt, DO, performs knee replacement surgery at the ASC using the ConforMIS iUni G2 device, a partial knee resurfacing device customized for each patient. "Customized knee implants are less invasive and require less bony resection and resurfacing. You are not molding the bone to fit the implant; rather you are using an implant that fits with a patient's natural anatomy" said Dr. Burkhardt in a Becker's ASC Review article. The surgery center also offers general surgery, gynecology, hand surgery, ophthalmology, ENT, orthopedics, pain management, plastic surgery, podiatry and urology services.
Cherry Creek Surgery Center (Denver). The surgery center is utilized by Peak Orthopedics and Spine, a five-physician practice that focuses on total and partial joint replacements, arthroscopy, sports medicine and spinal disorders and deformities. It also offers pain management services, such as platelet rich plasma injections. Craig Loucks, MD, and Robert Greenhow, MD, perform partial knee replacements using the ConforMIS device.
Greenspring Surgery Center (Baltimore). The surgery center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care and Medicare, and is a part of the Blue Chip Partners Surgery Centers network. It offers surgical services in orthopedics, neurosurgical spine and pain management. Its physician team is comprised of 15 members, performing numerous procedures such as arthroscopy, ligament repair and lumbar and cervical spine surgery.
"The off-the-shelf implants do not fit perfectly," says Barry Waldman, MD, orthopedic surgeon who performs procedures with ConforMIS at the center. "They either overhang, meaning they rub on soft tissues, or they're too small and the bone sticks out. The closer we can get those parts to fitting the knee, the happier the patient's going to be and the more natural it's going to feel."
INOVA HealthPlex Surgery Center (Alexandria, Va.). The outpatient surgical center is a part of Inova HealthPlex-Franconia/Springfield, which is a full-service outpatient facility that also includes a 24-hour emergency department, diagnostic radiology and laboratory. John P. Byrne, MD, of Clinton, Md.-based Greater Metropolitan Orthopaedic Institute, performs procedures at the surgery center using the iUni G2 device.
Lakes Surgery Center (West Bloomfield, Mich.). The surgery center is licensed by the
Commonwealth of Michigan and is fully accredited by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. It includes four operating rooms, two procedure rooms, exam rooms and preoperative/recovery areas. It offers surgical services in a number of specialties, including ENT, orthopedics, general surgery, gynecology, ophthalmology, podiatry and urology.
According to Ronald Lederman, MD, the ConforMIS device is unlike any other implant on the market because there are two separate inserts customized to fit the patient's anatomy, their ligaments and all of their soft tissue envelope. "This is a crucial element that allows a more normal range of motion, a more normal feel to that range of motion and often more stability," he says.
"There is no other company out there except ConforMIS that has a true patient-specific, custom component made for each individual. Because of that, you see increased motion and happier outcomes," says Mark Kwartowitz, DO, an orthopedic surgeon at the center, who performs procedures using the device. "It's really a neat endeavor that we're embarking on. I think it's at its infancy, but I think the long term results are going to continue to the point where everyone is going to want this patient-specific total knee replacement."
Metropolitan Surgical Institute (South Amboy, N.J.). Metropolitan Surgical Institute offers orthopedic surgery, pain management, hand surgery and spine surgery and neurosurgery.

Baltimore Ravens' linebacker Ray Lewis announced on Wednesday that he plans to retire from the NFL after the completion of the 2013 NFL Playoffs.
Longform: Ray Lewis, the influence of an athlete
The 37-year-old has spent the entirety of his career with the Ravens, which begin in 1996 when the team selected him with the No. 26 overall selection in the NFL Draft. In the eyes of many, Lewis is one of the key figures in establishing the Ravens in Baltimore after the team relocated from Cleveland.
On Wednesday afternoon, several of his teammates echoed that sentiment when responding to Lewis' announcement, specifically running back Ray Rice, via the Ravens' official twitter page:
Baltimore is Ray Lewis.
Wide receiver Torrey Smith expressed what it was like to play with Lews, via his twitter feed:
Had to watch Big Ray announce his retirement...it has been amazing to play with him...We need to take care of business for him and our city
Fellow linebacker Terrell Suggs explained that it was a bitter-sweet moment:
It's amazing and it's sad all at the same time.

Toronto Raptors 108, Miami Heat 83 Going into this game nobody knew what to expect, after dropping three straight to depleted Indiana, undermanned Charlotte and then Orlando, the Raptors appeared primed to go 0-3 on the roadtrip.

Bus firm call for changes to road network following QEII closure chaos
1:13pm Friday 10th January 2014 in News By Matt Abbott, Chief Reporter
A RAFT of changes have been called for after the two recent closures of the QEII Bridge caused absolute chaos on the roads around Lakeside.
Ensignbus, Thurrock's leading bus firm which runs 15 services in the borough, is demanding the Highways Authority sort out problems.
High winds forced the crossing to shut down for long periods on Monday, December 23, and Monday, December 30. This led to horrendous delays of up to six hours around the shopping centre.
Ensignbus bosses want to see: *Conditions for suspending charging at the tolls to be revised to take into account the impact of the traffic on local roads.
*Enforceable box junctions put in at Junction 31 of the M25 to prevent traffic diverting down the slip road past Thurrock Services and back onto the M25 and to stop lorries blocking the roundabout.
*Electronic road information signs put up at certain key points in Thurrock to help people make better choices on where to go when the crossing has problems.
As well as causing passengers huge inconvenience, these two closures cost Ensignbus £4,000 in staff, fuel costs and lost passenger revenue.
Paul Dickson, customer services manager for Ensignbus said: "We always deploy additional resources when traffic gets bad in the area and this costs us extra for, sometimes, little affect as things are so bad.
"The Highways Agency say it is able to monitor traffic build up on the A282 and M25 but clearly they do not or are not able to monitor the traffic impact on local roads. Most of the traffic diverts off the M25 to avoid the backlog and then creates a bigger problem on the Thurrock local road network."
The bridge's closure over Christmas led furious residents to question why the barriers at the Dartford Tunnel tolls were not constantly opened and the tolls lifted to improve traffic flow.
A spokesman for the Highways Agency said the existing barriers would never be lifted permanently as they control traffic.
He said as part of the design process for free-flow charging - introduced last October - the authority is reviewing current arrangements.
Currently queues need to be 10 miles long on the M25 for charges to be lifted, which they were not.
He said: "The intent of the charge suspension protocol is to provide congestion relief in and around Dartford and Thurrock, not just on the M25.
"In order to apply the protocol consistently we monitor traffic build up on the M25 as consistent real time traffic monitoring is available for this route."

Happy Belated Valentine's Day, everyone! Yesterday we went out for a romantic couple's WANK in Korea and did some couple-ey things. One we've done many times before, and another we've never tried before in our lives. Cool!
The first thing we did was completely new to us: a cake decoration cafe. Basically, you go to this bakery, pick out a cake type (like chocolate, strawberry, sweet potato, cheesecake, etc), and then you decorate it! They'll make the cake for you and leave it as a blank canvas for you to paint your masterpiece on. When it comes to decorating the cake, you have to pick out your own toppings at the self-serve toppings bar. Every item has a price tag associated with it, and prices range anywhere from 300 won to 2,500 won. Once you're done decorating, bring your cake up to the cash, they'll tally all that you've used, and calculate the final price. Our cake: 20,000 won, which is less than 20 bucks. Not bad!
As for how the cake tastes…we actually don't know! When we were walking back home at night, after finishing our day long WANK, we stopped by Cafe Lua and gave them the cake. She was working a long night, so we figured we'd offer her the cake instead, because sharing is caring. It was only when we started walking home afterwards that we realized, hey, it might seem very arrogant of us to give someone a cake with pictures of us on it. Oops!
Anyhow, the second part of our romantic WANK was at a Korean Sticker Booth. Woot! Now, we've been to Korean Sticker Booths before, looong time ago, and we do go to them occasionally, but we haven't actually been to one in a while. Well today's the perfect day for it!
As you saw in the challenge, we had to make Valentine's Day cards, and then we had to pit our best one against each other. Here's the full gallery of the cards, in case you were wondering what the others looked like (or, if you wanted to use them as Valentine's Day cards for your friends, of course!)
Moving on, many of you might not know what McCol's soda tastes like, and so you probably don't understand how horrendous a punishment it is for us to have to drink it. Please note, though, that it's not meant to be a punishment drink. Some people enjoy McCol's soda and think it's delicious. We, however, are not those people. McCol's tastes very, very, very bad to us. Nasty bad. In fact, we even use it as a prank when we have new people come over to our place, like "hey! Want to try a McCol's? It's delicious!" and then we watch their reactions. Priceless. Now you get to watch our reactions when we drink this. Yuck!
And lastly, you know these WANKs wouldn't be complete without some bloopers! There's so much that we have to cut out of these videos to keep them of decent length. We cut out our entire food eating sequence! It wasn't anything special, though: we just went for Korean street food: dokbokki and twiggum. Anyhow, check it out here!
Filed Under:W.A.N.K.
I'm waaaay behind on the times, but seriously, I'm literally having tears streaming from my eyes from laughing after watching this video!
helo simon and martina could you please please tell me the name of the cake decorating cafe? my asgment project are to make business proposal and we choose to make art cafe with this cake decorating as our main business. i am using your video as our reference , i hope you dont mind = ). and i was checking around to find the cafe's website or photo on the web but since i don't know it's name so.. yeah. need your big help! thank you!!!
OMG, I literally burst out laughing when Martina did the JYP whisper then "is coming to kill you!" Priceless!!
Ohmygod. The soda advertisement cracked me up so bad. I literally watched it like twenty times and I laughed so hard every time. Those facial expressions, the "this isn't childbirth it's soda drinking" and the "explosion of sh** in your mouth" are just…. priceless. And then in the bloopers, the part that was like "explosion in your mouth" and the party thingie didn't go off, Martina's expression is just like Uhh…. >.> EPICNESS :D
Sorry that I'm posting so late, I just got around to watching old WANKs and FAPFAPs xD
I went to a japanese photo booth and it was so much fun. I am visiting San Francisco and in Japantown there is this little shop called Pika Pika and it had a bunch of different booths. There was no time limit on decorating the pictures so I took my time making them pretty. I chose the 4 large pictures in a 4 by 6 card for $10. Almost like Simon and Martina's original sticker booth video.
The girl at the counter was really friendly and patient. When I walked in, she was listening to Big Bang's Fantastic Baby.
Thanks Martina and Simon for inspiring me to do this. Boom Shakalaka!
where is this build your own cake cafe? OMG I want to try that ;A;
I was re-watching this video and then Simon says "BOOM SHAKALAKA" after making the statement of finding his Engrish at the sticker photo booth place! [9:19] I was like ahhh and started singing Big Bang's Fantastic Baby… hee hee :3 This is what K-Pop does to your mind! D:<
Oh Martina! you're face when Simon explains his side of the cake is.. "aaaaaawwww" jaajaja lovely.
Your couple's tshirts are so cute!!!! Where can I find a pair?
Martina's Idol, Simon's Engrish :)
You guys are truely amazing! Love how awesome your guys relationship is! <3 And Martina you look so pretty in this Wank!
you-go.girl and soju for the idol of course!!! but as someone said you should have taken both hyori and song joong ki :p
Same with engrish with martina, even if the one of simon was good too haha
i vote for martina for both engrish and idol. but why did you not mention song joong ki?! he was right there!!!
THIS IS THE PLACE ^^~~~it has been found O: now lets all go make cakes
Waaah love the concept of this bakery !!
where is this cake decoration cafe??? Can you give us the address please?
Both of my votes for the English and idol goes to Simon~
Marina you chose Lee hyori over Joong ki who was just below?! I would have picked him directly~
Purikura are called photo booth in English? learnt something today :D
Yummy street food for dinner *p*
Wow, major camera difference between the old videos and the new ones after going through the playlist. Also makes me realize how long I've been watching your videos (over three years!) now.
Lee Hyori!!
Suggestion for warmer weather wanking location: Haeshindang Park
you guys are too freaking cute. I few I shall die from it today.
Martina for both idol and Engrish! <3
That was soooo cute!
ha i love the WANK segment but I find the name a little odd since WANK mean's masturbation in like the UK. Great segment… weird name…
That exactly why called it "WANK"
So it has a double meaning….
they want it to have the double meaning of masturbation?
Yep, just like their WTF segments before.
SO 이효리 for idol! 죄송합니다 Simon but I also picked Martina for the Engrish.
Lee Hyori and Simon's engrish!!! So glamorous image, indeed :P
For Both Idol and Engrish: I Vote For Martina!!
LEE HYORI!!!!!! and yeah, the coffee poem wins fo sho!
Hey, I was wondering what the name of the Cake Cafe is called ? =$
Martina, I want to see a picture of your nails in this wank, they look sooo pretty! And more make up tutorials!!!
Simon's Idol and Martina's Engrish.
Happy Valentine Day ^^ (I think I'm late >.<)
I vote Martina for both the Idol and Engrish. xD
Simon's Idol and Martina's Engrish
I love this video, really, Simon and Martina you are the best. Icon: Simon and 2PM. English: Martina, that's so funny :DDD
I could watch a blooper reel of Martina's McCol commercial flubs all day long… that had me in stitches.
What's the name of the cake-decorating shop?
you guise kissed <3 aaawww~~
Okay, those couple shirts were /adorable/!
And I have to vote Martina for Icon and Engrish this week. You just can't beat Lee Hyori and Demon Coffee.
I thought Simon was going to go all "Blue Steel" "Flaming Ferrari" lol
loved the couple tees!!
You guys are so cute that you make my cheeks hurt from smiling.
Who is more iconic than Lee Hyori? Song Joong Ki, below her. I would have chosen Joong Ki, personally.
Oh I love the couple shirts too! <3That guy was hot! And I felt I was intruding on your dinner when I heard that music…AWKWARD!!
Icon: Simon
Engrish: Martina
Martina, I hope you remembered to give Simon a big nasty McCol's kiss before you brushed your teeth.
I love Martina's I love Lucy moments :D I was expecting her to slur Meatavitavegamin somewhere in there :P
Celebrity: Martina! I really like Hyori(:
Engrish: I have no idea..
I don't think this is the same one that EYK went to, but here's directions to a cake cafe in Seoul: http://www.cakedan.com/shop_in.php?shop=020 and this too: http://www.foodstoryist.com/category/KOREAN%20CULTURE
where is this cake place?! I NEED TO GO I HAVE THIS WEEKENDF REEEEEEEEE LOL
This was a great one!!
Martina all the way!!!
Coffee is evil but a very necessary evil a tasty one at that too. :)I mean how can Seulong (even if he's really hot) beat Hyori-unni who can control MC Yoo and Kook Jong.. and do I spy an added bonus.. someone so sparkly bright in that Soju add… Song Joong Ki wahhh…. I'm sorry Simon Seulong even with all he's greasy "chickeny" goodness can't beat the alcohol intoxication produced by Hyori-unni and Joong Ki :))
"It is not a tumor."
Hooray for "Kindergarten Cop" quotes! :D
Voting for Martina's engrish and idol this week~ Lee Hyori is the go go girl after all!
Great video, thank you guise for wanking in the cold for us~
Omg you guys are soooo cute!
can you make a list of where these places exactly are?
D'awwwww…you guys gave me the fuzzy wuzzies. :3 You guys are such a cute couple.
this vid was great! Love your adventures
McCol is the suckest soda in Korea! :P
Martina's idol and Engrish!
Last summer when I was in Seoul it was unbearably hot, and I hadn't eaten anything in hours. I was trying to catch the bus, and some promotion event nearby was handing out free McCol. Even when you're sweating, exhausted, hungry, and dehydrated, McCol tastes crappy. I was only able to chug the entire thing because I was just that dehydrated!
If possible, could you let us know the name or location of the cake decoration cafe? Perhaps a link where to find one? Thanks! /goes off to google one of them =D
You guys are too cute >3< And Ouran references? WIN! Hunny-senpai is my favorite host x3 I even has an Usa-chan!
Totally made all of your fans days. :D Today, there was this freshman (I'm a freshman in high school) assembly about relationships. They were asking random people what their ideal relationship would be like. I talked about you two. <3 hehe
This was one of my favorite Wank videos from you guys! You two were just so cute and couplely the whole time! :D and the Cake decorating store is epic. I wish we had one here.
Thanks Amber :D
Tooo cute <3 Haha I have to say this: Simon — at first I had the same feeling as Martina. Why the giant thing of flowers(?) and the random yellow splotch on the bottom? Your explanation redeemed it all :) Martina — you have to admit that your hubby the one to beat? I can't think of any non-korean couples that would take sticker photos on valentine's day and say it was funn. Most bfs would barf after hearing the idea of go to sticker booths for valentines day.
Martina wins for the idol (and the soju)!!
Simon gets the engrish.
Um, loved that you mentioned Honey-Sempai! I love me some Ouran references.
Martina's Engrish
Simon's Idol…but only because the chicken was sparkly.
Great that you did a Valentine's Day special! Martina's Engrish was better. The idol goes to Simon. Really liked the street food in the bloopers.
Let's see, I'm gonna have to give the engrish to Martina. It was bad bad bad. And Simon wins the idol (<3).
Hope you had a happy Valentine's Day. You two are super cute!!!
You two had your arms around each other throughout the whole video, it seemed. :) Also I think this is the first time we've ever seen you two kiss on camera! It gave me the warm fuzzies. :) But I'm glad that you two don't usually show a lot of physical affection on camera, because it makes few PDAs that much more valuable and special to us, like we're allowed to be part of your little world of love… [/sappy]
Great way to put it :)
2am and martinas engirsh
WOW that cake decorating cafe is a really good/interesting business idea!! especially how they have all the nice decor stuff ready for you to use (not just frosting and crappy toys). Would be cool to have one here.
You guise are so ridiculously cute. :)
Oh God the horse face scared me tho xD
You two are absolutely adorable~~~
And once again, the people watching you do Be My Baby xDDD
Martina's idol!
And I honestly love BOTH of your Engrish so I'll give it to Simon since I gave Martina the idol.
You guiz looked sooooo cute! Happy Valentines Day! Sorry Simon. Martina for the Engrish aaaannnndd the Idol. Love your hair and make up Martina.
I have to say Simon has the best picks this time.
haha XD your couple tees are really cute~ :D
Oh my goodness, I was cracking up during this entire episode. Although the "I have tumor" Arnold impersonation was my favorite. Love your weekly WANKs ( *wink*) and all of your other videos! Happy belated V-day!
Oh my goodness, I was cracking up during this entire episode. Although the "I have tumor" Arnold impersonation was my favorite. Love your weekly WANKs ( *wink*) and all of your other videos! Happy belated V-day!
Immediately after I finished watching the video, I received this email and instantly thought of Martina..its the cutest airplane ever! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/15/eva-airs-hello-kitty-plan_n_1276230.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003
I WANNA MAKE A CAKE!! and you guys totally made a faboo cake!! martina, i love the swirlies. simon, i totally got your shoes and the dress idea right away. i thought it was great!

Love this video! XD Where was the cake cafe? Are they common in Korea? I would like to visit one when I'm there this summer!
… beer soda? + Vitamins? Oh god why.
To anyone who hasn't tried it, you have no idea how disgusting Mccol is. I got the chitters and the heebeejeebees after every sip.
My first week in Korea I tried to drink a 500 ml bottle of it. I was able to get through half. It's still sitting in my fridge 6 months later as a reminder of how horrible it is.
Random EYK fan was cute! :)
Simon's Engrish and Idol! I think Simon wins both this week! :)
Good job skipping with the cake and not dropping it.
You guys are so Cute :)!!!!
You two make such an awesome and cute couple! Your videos always make me laugh and always make my day when I'm feeling down. By the way I thought that cake building cafe was really cute..and I really like your couples shirts.
This time I vote for Martina's engrish and idol!
I really like the build your cake place. I would definitely go to that place if I visit Korea. I was wondering, even though the cake wasn't too expensive, after you put all your decorations on it how expensive was it?
I cracked up on that (*whispers*) Jay Why Pee – joke, ur so funny, guys! Thanks for giving me a good laugh before going to bed :)
Aww, guys, isn't that cute, you're wearing couple t-shirts :D
OMG where exactly is that cake shop!? D: I SOOOOOO want to go there when I'm in seoul again!
omg I LOVELOVELOVE MARTINA'S MAKEUP AND FAUX LASHES!!!!
i vote for lee hyori!!! even backwards its lee hyori!!! and for the engrish i choose martina's too
Stupid people said that. Asians are the most beautifulest peeps evar!
One of these days no one will leave you alone when you're filming. Cuz you're SUPASTAAS! You'll have to get bodyguards or something O.o! I choose Martina's Engrish and Simon's Idol!
well it's actually 1:25 xD
that girl , who was at screen at 1:29 . SO NOW , WHO SAID THAT ASIAN GIRLS AREN'T PRETTY WITHOUT MAKEUP ?
martina for both engrish and idol
Can I choose Song Joong Ki since he was on the same poster as Hyori? XD I vote Martina's engrish…and not just because I love coffee ~
McCol sounds like a prank me and mom played on my dad once. Very native to our shores are sloe bushes, and sloe looks like very tasty blueberries, but they have no real taste. What they have is this very weird texture that once you bite into it reacts in your mouth. Try to imagine eating sandpaper, yeah, it's the same texture.
My dad, who was born in the inner parts of this country, had never seen them before. Trusting us so sincerely he started chewing the entire berry. Poor, poor, poor dad once he realised what a prank we had played on him, and it takes a while for the texture to disappear.
Mom tried playing this prank on me a few years before we did it on dad, however I just bit into it carefully. I know she likes playing small innocent pranks on me when she can.
Voting for Martina's engrish and Simon's icon!
… i would have voted for Martina's icon since I like Hyori better than I like Seulong BUT! Martina! Why would you pick Lee Hyori when there is SONG JOONG KI right next to her? Why?
So even though my real choice would be Hyori i'm not picking her because it COULD have been Joong Ki instead. Fangirl logic.
I understand you :D I don't get why she didn't chose Song Joong Ki…she would have my vote imediately ^^
Choked on my soda watching Martina try and drink her's. THAT funny <3 rofl
Awww… I love you guys *o*
I'm glad Martina didn't trip/drop the cake :D
I was sooooo going to vote for Simons idol when i knew Martina picked Hyori, sinc eim not really a fan.
But ugh.. i dont really like Seulong… at all….so ugh…
Sorry Simon ><;;;;
Martina's Idol
& Martina's Engrish
Coffee is vile and disgusting and evil and belongs in hell. Blech
OMO you two are such awesome couple and we can see how much you two love each other!!! and Marina you almost make me die out of laughter with the commercial…. JUST LOVE THIS WANK!!!!
I may sound like some sort of creeper, but when you two kissed – I fell on the ground. YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE DUH.

Girls basketball: Mercy rule murmurs in New Jersey
The excitement of last-second shots and the angst of clutch free throws with the game on the line are becoming almost extinct in girls basketball games around the state.
The current trend is blowouts — lots of them. Lopsided scores have become the new normal.
One North Jersey team made up of freshmen and sophomores has been on the wrong end of blowouts, losing games by deficits of 60, 53, 44, 38 and 37 this season.
While some opponents have shown some mercy, others haven't.
"Some coaches understand and they'll pull the ball out, and some coaches will leave a girl in so she can reach 1,000 points," one North Jersey coach said. "It's both. In actuality, I don't mind it because my girls need to work through that. I don't think we need a mercy rule. There's always something you can teach in those situations."
In a look at box scores from across the state from Jan. 6-13, 243 of the 421 reported games were blowouts, according to Jerseysports.com. There were 76 games with a margin of 15 to 20 points, 100 were decided by 21 to 30, 33 were 31 to 40 points, and 34 were by more than 40 points.
Despite the statistics, many coaches around the state feel a mercy rule is unnecessary because blowouts aren't a sportsmanship issue. The deeper issue is the talent disparity and how to improve the feeder programs to shrink the talent gap.
"I think 95 percent of coaches do a great job of managing those games, and there's a handful that sometimes let egos get in the way," Pascack Valley coach Jeff Jasper said. "For the handful of people who are oblivious, there's no way to police it."
According to a 2010 National Federation of High Schools survey, 15 states have instituted the mercy rule to buck the trend. Twenty-six states don't have it, including New Jersey (nine states didn't respond to the survey). Talk of instituting a mercy rule in New Jersey hasn't been seriously considered, says Larry White, assistant director of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association.
The mercy rule uses a running clock when a certain point differential is reached, and every state has its own interpretation. For example, Pennsylvania chose to use a running clock at any time in the second half. Delaware uses it in the fourth quarter only when the deficit is 35 points or more.
Iowa joined the list this year when it adopted the rule after some heated controversy. A basketball advisory committee made up of coaches, officials and scorekeepers unanimously objected, but was overruled by a board of directors that included athletic directors and school administrators.
"We had some smaller schools in rural Iowa that were scoring 12 or 14 points a game. They were losing 79-12 or 79-14, and it was rubbing people the wrong way," said Joel Oswald, assistant director of the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union. "I'm a purist at the end of the day. What's the difference if you lose 65-8 or 80-8?"
That's basically the same notion shared by many coaches across the state. While several have acknowledged the frequency of blowouts over the past few years, they don't believe the mercy rule is the answer because experienced coaches should know how to manage games without embarrassing opponents — such as taking off a press, sitting starters or pulling out the ball to run the clock.
"There is so much division between the quality of teams in New Jersey that it's not a question of sportsmanship and running up scores," Clifton coach Craig Alfano said. "You can't tell a kid to let the other team score. But coaches should have the intelligence and maturity to slow the game down. Basketball is a sport that you can do that because of the nature of the game. You don't need a rule for it."
"I've been on both sides of lopsided scores, and it's no fun being on either end," Life Center (Burlington Township) coach Ron Kessler said. "I think it falls on the coaches. I had one game when we did everything we could to let the other team shoot. We made 15 passes before we took a shot, and it was still lopsided. Sometimes one team is just too good and sometimes you just get beat. That's the way the game is."
Handling stars seems to be the trickiest situation. A few years ago, one North Jersey player scored 60 points in a blowout so she could reach the 2,000-point milestone. Another situation that got national attention several years ago was when former New York City player Epiphanny Prince, who played at Rutgers and currently stars in the WNBA, scored 113 points to lead Murry Bergtraum to a 137-32 win over Brandeis. Murry Bergtraum coach Ed Grezinsky left in Prince for the entire game so she could break the record for most points in a high school game, previously held by Cheryl Miller (105).
Sure, those situations caused some outrage, but the larger issue behind blowouts is why there's such a disparity in talent levels. There are no specific answers, but coaches have reiterated the need for better feeder programs, better coaching at the elementary and intermediate levels, and better facilities.
Some suggested that today's athletes are playing three sports and aren't dedicating an entire year to basketball, which requires year-round participation to improve. Several coaches felt strongly that it's too late for athletes to pick up a basketball as freshmen because the basic fundamentals should've been taught at the youth level.
The North Jersey team that's been struggling this season has a poor feeder program, and the coaching staff started from scratch with young and inexperienced players.
"You have to look at the feeder programs first, because if it's not organized, it makes you start all over when they get to high school," Teaneck coach Shenee Clarke said. "By ninth grade, they should have good basketball IQ.
"Another problem is the girls who want to play basketball, but they're not basketball players. It takes a lot to play this sport. I don't think there should be a mercy rule. Basketball is about teaching kids about life, and there's no mercy in life."

Moultrie- It turned out to be a great day for anything outside, especially Olympic competition.
In Moultrie, Colquitt County Special Olympics teams took part in the Spring Games. Many fine athletes come through Special Olympics, where kids who may not get to compete on other levels get to experience the thrill of competing and winning.
"And those that may not have a chance to compete at a varsity or an intramural level, so this is kind of their time to shine," said Grant Hammock of Colquitt County Special Olympics. "It's their time to be athletically successful."
Many special Olympic athletes go on to compete and win in state competitions.

I am concerned that one of the "financing options" is the lease-back option which PAUSD has proposed for the Paly Gym.
The lease back option is NO BID. In other districts where this has happened - including Poway where Kevin Skelly was previously - the developers begin to control the agenda. One this genie is put of the bottle we will be at the mercy of the contractors. In other districts they have never ending construction and constant bond issues.
No bid and lease back enhances the power of whomever picks the contractor which is Kevin Skelly and the incumbent school board.
This action has the power to destroy democratic school governance by injecting contractors and their money into it.

Once the options are presented, and are hashed over in people's minds, do they go to the vote to select one? Does the Palo Alto public get a say in this at all?

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Mayor Greg Fischer delivered his third "State of the City" address Thursday.
The mayor traditionally holds his address at the Galt House, but for the first time, the event was held at the African American Heritage Center, fulfilling his pledge to move the address to different areas of the city.
The mayor talked mainly about jobs and economic development, highlighting the fact 22,000 jobs have been added in the past two years.
"We are poised, we're primed, our momentum is fantastic," said Fischer. His resounding message: "We are certainly changing the direction of our city." Fischer said that new perspectives are replacing old ways of doing business in Louisville.
One resident, Eddie Davis, said the mayor did not discuss economic development enough, concerning certain areas of the city, "I just don't see enough emphasis on the west side of town, like bringing in manufacturing jobs or light industry."
Fischer touched on a variety of other topics including the prospect of an NBA team, curbing violent crimes and gun control, a one-cent sales tax increase and a 25-year Vision Louisville initiative.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, the final chapter in the cinematic rendition of J.K. Rowling's novels about The Boy Who Lived and his coming of age, released three years ago, but few people – if anyone – believed that would be the last time that we'd get to make a trip to the Wizarding World, either on the big screen or via the printed page.
Sure enough, since then a play about Harry (during his pre-Hogwarts years) has been produced, while over the past year Rowling has been working on the script for a Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them movie. Today, however, the author surprised the masses by unveiling a new short story (via the ...

In today's world of studio movie making, let's face it, it's all about franchising. It's all about the sequels. In fact, this weekend we have two sequels hitting theaters in 22 Jump Street and How to Train Your Dragon 2. The first is a comedy sequel and it's receiving great reviews, despite the fact comedies rarely have good sequels. The second has the potential to be one of the biggest movies of the summer and perhaps the biggest animated movie of 2014. Whyc Sequels sell and if they're good they sell even more. That said, last week I started considering the sequels that were actually better than the original film in any given franchise. This isn't a question of what are the best sequelsc (I've already made that list.) Instead, what sequels managed to exceed the quality and entertainment of the film(s) that came before them.

Lionsgate investors who presumed there was no more value to wring out of "The Hunger Games" beyond its final installment next year got a nice surprise last week. CEO Jon Feltheimer announced a new way to capitalize on the mega-franchise: A touring exhibition devoted to the movie will kick off next summer, the first element of a bigger plan aimed at putting the studio in the theme park business.
Indeed, blockbuster entertainment franchises are getting integrated into the parks with increasing frequency. Universal Studios Hollywood unveiled Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem in April, expanded with Super Silly Fun Land, the seaside carnival featured in the film. Up next: Universal is teaming with Warner Bros. to open Diagon Alley, a faithful re-creation of the London location from the "Harry Potter" films, on June 20.

(Cbr) The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will return to movie theaters in little more than two years. "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," Warner Bros. and J.K. Rowling's expansion of the Harry Potter film franchise, has scored a release date: Nov. 18, 2016. That's almost five years after the release of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," the final installment of the series. Rowling is writing the script for "Fantastic Beasts," which takes its title and characters from the charity novel she released in 2001 about a "magizoologist" named Newt Scamander. The film takes place several years before the events of the "Harry Potter" series. No director or cast announcements have been made yet. [Source: The Hollywood Reporter] »

It has barely been two years since "The Dark Knight Rises," yet today Warner Bros. unveiled their new-look Batman—played by Ben Affleck—who will be suiting up to play Bruce Wayne in "Batman vs. Superman" in 2016. So, that's four years between Christopher Nolan's film and whatever Zack Snyder is cooking up (and even less time than between "Spider-Man 3" and "The Amazing Spider-Man," Fyi). Why the rush? Because there's gold in them hills, and they're looking to keep the money flowing, and no surprise, WB wants more of those "Harry Potter" riches too. First announced last fall, and recently established as a new trilogy, the J.K. Rowling-penned "Harry Potter" spinoff series "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" now has a release date of November 18, 2016.

An interesting list was posted on Reddit, listing the movies over the last eleven years that have earned at least a 95% on RottenTomatoes and have at least an average user rating of 8 or higher on IMDb. The list, understandably, doesn't take into account animated films and it includes some expected titles as well as a few I've still yet to see. Of those I haven't seen, they include Majid Majidi's The Song of Sparrows, Ki-duk Kim's Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring and Andrey Zvyagintsev's The Return. It's interesting to see the only repeat director is Richard Linklater with Before Sunset and Before Midnight, but anyone that knows my affinity for those two films also knows I'm not arguing they are two of the greatest movies of the last eleven years. I also find it interesting the only blockbusters included are Star Trek, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 »

Star Wars was a movie once. This is a basic fact that we all know. It was a single film released in theaters: A story with a beginning (kind of), a middle, and an end (kind of). There was a relatively small cast, composed of up-and-comers, unknowns, and one well-regarded British actor overdelivering on what looked to him like thin material. The film, released in theaters in 1977, had a simple story. There was a MacGuffin (The Death Star Plans!) and there was a Rescue Mission (Help Me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, You're My Only Hope!) and there was a Final Battle. »

There's before The Dark Knight, and there's after The Dark Knight. Before The Dark Knight, superhero movies were big for Hollywood and Christopher Nolan was a culty stylist and everyone loved Batman. After The Dark Knight, superhero movies were the defining Hollywood product and Christopher Nolan was everyone's favorite Hollywood director and everyone really loved Batman.
You can try to explain The Dark Knight's success by looking at the underlying factors of where we were at at the time — "we" as a nation, "we" as a global moviegoing public, "we" as a geekifying popular culture. A brutal election year faced America. »

He narrowly avoids getting shot in the back by his mutinous guides, proves his Zorro-esque expertise with a whip, cleverly maneuvers through the deadly booby-traps of an ancient Peruvian temple, flicks away tarantulas like they're gnats, nabs the prized golden idol but sets off a chain-reaction of destruction that includes a giant boulder chasing him back out into the sunlight, »

Iron Man, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, the Black Widow, and Hawkeye joined forces to battle evil (otherwise known as Loki) in this 2012 Marvel film that incited mixed reaction from fans and critics alike. Could director Joss Whedon convincingly weave multiple superhero storylines? Would the ensemble cast of heroes conjure up bad memories of bicker-filled family reunions? Or would it be a feel-good film about the fantastic nature of the good guys?
Skeptics wondered whether a film combining so many heroes would work, but Whedon packed in scene after scene that left audiences craving more and cemented America's fascination with comic book movies. »
