On Feb 8, 2014, Zacks Investment Research upgraded
SY Bancorp Inc.
) to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Why the Upgrade?
SY Bancorp has been witnessing rising earnings estimates
following the announcement of impressive fourth-quarter results
and due to its strong capital deployment activities. Moreover,
this regional bank's earnings growth rate is expected to be 8.7%
for 2014.
SY Bancorp reported fourth-quarter and 2013 results on Jan 27.
Though the fourth-quarter earnings per share missed the Zacks
Consensus Estimate by a penny, there was 4.2% growth on a
year-over-year basis.
Results benefited from increased net interest income and
lower-than-expected provision for loan losses, partially offset
by fall in both fee income and operating expenses. Further,
impressive credit quality and strong capital ratios were the
Additionally, during 2013, SY Bancorp meaningfully deployed
capital (raised quarterly dividend by 5% and acquired THE
BANCorp, INC.) and redeemed 10% fixed-rate cumulative trust
preferred securities. The company has been experiencing synergies
from the acquisition with growth in loan and deposit balances.
Furthermore, the redemption will lower interest expenses in the
future and is also expected to be accretive to the company's
earnings by improving earnings per share by 13 cents in 2014.
Additionally, over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate
for 2014 increased 3.9% to $2.14 per share. Similarly, for 2014,
the Zacks Consensus Estimate nudged up nearly 1% to $2.26 per
share over the same time period.

IV. Dimanche
On my last afternoon in Paris I summoned all the courage I could muster, walked into a small café, and said, "Bonjour Madame. Je voudrais diner, s'il vous plaît." My phrasing was awkward--almost rude perhaps. But madame just smiled and escorted me to my seat. Whatever fluency is, I am far removed from it. I am told that someday I will dream in French and that will be the sign.
I tell you again that this is as far from home as I've ever been in my life. I was more afraid walking the streets of Paris than I have ever been walking through the projects. American violence, I know well. You raise your hands. You run. You curl up in a ball. You choke a man out. You stay strapped. This is a dialect of my early years. I think of that scene in The Wire where Bunny Colvin is working with group of alleged scrappers. These kids have seen the worst of West Baltimore. Then Bunny takes them to a steakhouse, where they are flummoxed by the specials, the quietness, the difference between the waitress and the hostess. The curtain fails away to reveal our hardrocks presently transformed into shook ones. On North Avenue we are kings. In Ruth's Chris we are peasants. And we know this.
So sitting there on that last afternoon, I was feeling good for the come-up. I ordered the cheeseburger and salad with sautéed potatoes on the side. The café grew crowded. A larger party came in. I was asked to move to another table. I obliged. I watched a young man and his cherie, sans neck-tie, in a beautiful navy suit. I watched a group of high school kids and thought of my son, who would have seen them here trading coffee, cigs and laughter, and thought them the pit of cool. I had a Konigsberg. Then I had another.
I was high when I left, but walking the streets, and then walking through le Jardin du Luxembourg, I fell down again. I was headed out to meet a new friend. Le Jardin is a manicured walking space where the gravel rivals the green. That afternoon it throbbed with Parisians in the way that the bars in New York throb after a blizzard shuts the whole town in. The children raced small pedal cars. A group of old men assembled under a band shell. There were rows of leafless trees sculpted into brown boxes.
I felt myself as horrifyingly singular there. A language is more than grammar and words, is the movement of The People, their sense of appropriate laughter, their very conception of space. In Paris the public space was a backyard for The People and The People's language was not mine. Even if I learned the grammar and vocab, so part of it must be off-limits to me. It could never really be "mine." I had a native language of my own. I felt like a distant friend crashing a family reunion. Except the family was this entire sector of the city. I could feel their nameless, invisible bonds all around me, tripping my every step.
A month ago I was giving a talk at a college where someone asked me why it was wrong for white people to use the word "nigger" in a friendly way. I responded, as I always do, by pointing out that the names people use depend on their relations. That I should not expect to call another man's wife "honey" by pointing out that he calls her the same thing. That my wife and her friends use the word "bitch" between them, but that is not a name I should expect (or want) to employ. That whatever they say, I have no desire to address my gay friends as queer. If you respect the humanity of black people, then you respect that they get to do what other humans do--ironically employ epithets in a communal way.

geminateSyllabification: gem·i·nate
Definition of geminate in English:
Pronunciation: /ˈjemənət /
Consisting of identical adjacent speech sounds, especially consonants; doubled.
Example sentences
- Some geminates, however, are clearly more morphologically distinct than others are.
Pronunciation: /ˈjeməˌnāt /[with object] Back to top
Double or repeat (a speech sound).
Example sentences
- Because gemination is common in Dravidian languages, double consonants in written English are often geminated: 'sum-mer' for summer and 'sil-lee' for silly.
- Like English geminates and schwas, Hebrew matres lectionis have a more ambiguous relation to speech than graphemes that code consonants, for example, and are thus coded less effectively.
- For many words, however, the most common misspelling seems to be to violate conservation of geminates, and write the word with no doubled consonants at all.
late Middle English: from Latin geminatus, past participle of geminare 'double, pair with', from geminus 'twin'.
- 1
- Example sentences
- This item was recorded with gemination, but the precise status of gemination in the language is not easy to determine.
- Because gemination is common in Dravidian languages, double consonants in written English are often geminated: 'sum-mer' for summer and 'sil-lee' for silly.
- He also brings up some unexpected intrusions of gemination, asking how it happened that "the Italian word 'regata' entered English as 'regatta'."
Pronunciation: /ˌjeməˈnāSHən/noun

Herschel Museum of Astronomy
|Herschel Museum of Astronomy
|New King Street, Bath
The Herschel Museum of Astronomy at 19 New King Street, Bath, is a museum that was inaugurated in 1981. It is located in a preserved town house that was formerly the home of William Herschel and Caroline Herschel.
The museum is situated in the former home of the Herschels at 19 New King Street (south side) in Bath, England. The building is a particularly well-preserved small town house of the period.[2] The modest town-house covers five floors, and includes two reception rooms on the ground and first floor.[3] The town house is part of a terrace that was built around 1764-1770. The building is constructed from Bath stone ashlar, with some coursed rubble at the rear, and slate Mansard roofs with pantiling on the internal slopes. The entrance is on the left-hand side of the building, which has three storeys, as well as an attic and basement, each of which have two sash windows.[2] The building represents a middle-grade Georgian town house, typical of the homes of artisans and tradesmen of the city of Bath (but contrasting with Bath's grand visitor houses)[3]
The Herschels moved into 19 New King Street in 1777,[2] at which point the builders would have still been present, and the road would have been unmetalled.[3] William discovered Uranus whilst residing in the house in March 1781 using a 7' telescope designed and built in the attached workshop.[2] William left Bath in 1782[2], but Caroline, along with their brother Alexander, remained at the house until 1784.[2]
The building has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[2] It was purchased by the museum trust in 1981 with the aid of Doctors Leslie and Elizabeth Hilliard.[3] The building was restored in 1981, and again in 2000,[1] using period detailed wallpaper based on fragments discovered in other Bath houses, and carpets based on 18th century designs.[3]
The museum was inaugurated in 1981, exactly 200 years after Herschel discovered Uranus. The museum is governed by the Herschel House Trust. Patrick Moore[1] and Brian May[4] have been patrons of the museum. The museum is curated by Debbie James.[4][2]
The museum offers audio tours. A virtual tour of the museum is available for mobility-impared visitors, and a book containing tactile images is available for blind or partially sighted visitors. A disabled parking space is located outside of the building. Replica objects in the museum, including a replica of Herschel's polishing machine, are designed to be handled.[5] The museum uses QR codes to provide translations of the display exhibit labels in 10 different languages,[6] and illustrated trails are available from the shop.[3]
Basement and garden[edit]
The basement contains a kitchen, parlour and workshop.[3]
The kitchen incorporates a Victorian cast iron range and a stone flag floor.[2] It contains a replica Georgian house based on the museum's building, which is fully furnished inside.[3]
William built a single-storey workshop at the rear of the basement, extending into the garden; he used the workshop to conduct experiments and to construct his lenses, and it still contains Herschel's treadle lathe.[2] The workshop, adjacent to the kitchen, was where William and Alexander made their telescopes. It contains a replica of William's machine for polishing lenses, the original of which is in the Science Museum, London.[7]
The Caroline Lucretia Gallery, named after Caroline Herschel, was added to the museum in 2011. The gallery was designed by Hetreed Ross Architects,[8] and is of a modern design, expanding the available space at the museum. It received a prize for building and design from the Bath and North East Somerset Building Control Department.[9] It is used for temporary exhibitions.[8]
The garden has been restored in the style of a formal Georgian town garden, with cypress trees and a quince arbour, as well as native medicinal and culinary plants that would have been grown in 1794. The garden also contains a sundial at the location where William may have placed his telescope; a sculpture of William and Caroline by Vivien Moudell; and a metal seedhead by Ruth Moillet representing Uranus's position in the solar system.[10]
Ground floor[edit]
At ground floor, the building has an entrance hall with a staircase, a small closet room that is used as a dining room, and a large south-facing room at the back of the house. Similar south-facing rooms are present at each level of the building. The dining room contains Herschel's dining table.[2]
A scale model of the 40-foot telescope, as well as an early photo of it that is framed in wood from the telescope, is on display at the museum.[11]
First floor[edit]
On the first floor, the Music Room occupies the closet room, and the south-facing room is the Drawing Room.[2]
The museum holds a small dress worn by Caroline when she was around 50. It is made from white muslin with a blue spot and dates from the last years of the 18th century.[12]
Upper floors[edit]
The upper floors provided bedrooms and servant quarters;[3] they have subsequently been converted into flats.[2]

Gates: Missile strikes in Pakistan to continueSubmitted by alwayssimon on Tue, 01/27/2009 - 22:12
Who didn't see this coming?
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is retaining a powerful but controversial weapon left over from the Bush administration's war on terror: Predator missile strikes on Pakistan.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates signaled to senators Tuesday that missile strikes will continue. He did not directly refer to the Predator hunt-and-kill drone program but said the U.S. would continue to strike at al-Qaida inside Pakistan along its border with Afghanistan.
But senior Obama administration and Capitol Hill officials say the Predator strikes are effective, and there is no plan to discontinue the program.
The Predator attacks have strained U.S. relations with Pakistan, which has urged Obama to halt them.
Pakistan was struck last week by missiles that killed at least 22 people. The strike was part of a continuing wave of more than 30 missile attacks since August.
In testimony Tuesday to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gates said Obama and former President George W. Bush were twinned in their efforts to pursue al-Qaida.
"Both President Bush and President Obama have made clear that we will go after al-Qaida wherever al-Qaida is, and we will continue to pursue them," Gates said.
"Has that decision been transmitted to the Pakistan government?" the panel's chairman, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., asked.
"Yes, sir," Gates responded.
The U.S. rarely acknowledges such missile strikes, at least some of which are carried out with unmanned Predator drones, used by the Pentagon and CIA to hunt down and kill terrorists.
A senior Obama administration official told The Associated Press that the Predator program would remain, saying simply: "It works." The comments were made on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the program publicly.

Is it really far-fetched?
Omar al-Baghdadi, the supposed leader of an al-Qaeda-affiliated group in Iraq, was declared non-existent by US military officials, who say he is a fictional character created to give an Iraqi face to a foreign-run terrorist group. In reality, said Brigadier-General Kevin Bergner, an Iraqi actor has read statements attributed to al-Baghdadi, who has been identified since October as the leader of the group, known as Islamic State of Iraq. [Sydney Morning Herald 7/20/2007]
Once you accept that there can be one group of people willing to commit acts of terror you must accept that there can be a second group equally willing to commit acts of terror to blame on the first group.

How Your Personal Life Dramas Affect Your EFT Business
in Self Help
There is no doubt about it, your history can follow you. Your personal traumas and chaos can be like shadows that never let go of you. You try to start fresh, you begin a new tapping career and the same disappointments of your past rear up in what was supposed to be a new and different trajectory. It's not only the disappointments of your past that rear their ugly head, but new and different variations that appear as new dramas, all taking your attention away from your EFT practice and resulting in lackluster results, including few new clients and clusters of cancellations. What unfolds for you emotionally and mentally has a greater affect on your business results than any marketplace trend. What is an EFT practitioner to do?
If you are ready to hear some straight talking and make a real change, then listen in to Craig Weiner, DC and Alina Frank,the hosts of EFT Mastering Business Acumen Radio, creators of the affiliated EFT MBA Practitioner Success Program.

CBS Daytime Stars leaving positive footprints
in Travel
Some of our favorite celebrities are more than just pretty faces. They are people who are displaying their sense of humanity and building legacies of positive footprints that go beyond the big and small screens.
Don Diamont is an extraordinary actor who has been seen on both the big and small screens. Most recognized for his role as "Dollar Bill Spencer, Jr.," on the CBS Daytime Drama, The Bold and the Beautiful, Don was also seen in the film Anger Management with Jack Nicolson and Adam Sandler and Marco Polo opposite Jack Palance. Don's resume is very impressive but the one title he treasures the most is when he was named Ambassador of the Year by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in recognition of his work and efforts to find a cure for this crippling disease.
Heather Tom is a two-time Emmy Award winning actress is recognized for her role as "Katie Logan-Spencer" on the CBS Daytime drama, The Bold and the Beautiful. Heather began acting at the tender ago of two and she's been seen in many roles on television, on the big screen and on the stage. However, Heather embraces an even larger role on the world stage as an activist and humanitarian.
Eric Braeden has captivated audiences for many years. From his role as John Jacob Astor in James Cameron's Titanic to his most famous role as the dashing Victor Newman in the #1 daytime drama, The Young & The Restless—a role that garnered an Emmy Award, several Emmy nominations and a People's Choice Award.

Shark falls from sky onto golfers
Updated On: Oct 27 2012 12:30:15 AM EDT
It's raining sharks at a golf course in Southern California.
At least, that's what golfers at the San Juan Hills Golf Club in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., might have thought after a 2-foot-long shark fell from the sky onto the 12th tee.
The 2-pound leopard shark was apparently plucked from the ocean by a bird and then dropped on the course, Melissa McCormack, director of club operations, told The Associated Press.
No one was teeing up at the time, but some golfers had just left the area.
Employees plucked the shark off the grass, stuck it in a bucket of "homemade sea water" using sea salt from the kitchen and then snapped a photo of it before releasing it back into the ocean, McCormack said.
At first, the shark didn't move, "but then it flipped and took off," she told the AP.

First day with K5 11
9 months ago
Needed a DSLR for some volunteer charity,(and, to be honest, also fancied a change), so traded my G1X and with discount picked up new K5 11 and 18-55 kit lens for £400. Spent a couple of days wandering around with JPEGs to start off with. Love the feel and balance of the camera, and the external controls which take some learning but make the camera fun to use. Currently using the P mode and love the Hyper action of the ewheels. I'm looking for a relatively light nd versatile walk around lens so awaiting the new Sigma 18-200 macro with interest.
Obviously a lot more to learn but a couple of first efforts.

Golar LNG Partners L.P.:PRELIMINARY FOURTH QUARTER AND FINANCIAL YEAR 2013 RESULTS
Hamilton, Bermuda, Feb. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Highlights
- Golar LNG Partners LP ("Golar Partners" or the "Partnership") reports net income attributable to unit holders of $47.6 million and operating income of $54.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 ("the fourth quarter")
- Generated distributable cash flow of $44.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 with a coverage ratio of 1.32
- Declared distribution of $0.5225 per unit for the fourth quarter of 2013
- Completed fourth follow-on offering raising net proceeds of $150 million
- Agreed to acquire from Golar LNG Limited ("Golar") the Floating Storage and Regas Unit ("FSRU") Golar Igloo for $310 million subject to certain closing conditions
- Entered into $200 million interest rate swaps at fixed rates of between 2.206% and 2.955%
Financial Results Overview
Golar Partners reports net income attributable to unit holders of $47.6 million and operating income of $54.7 million for the fourth quarter, as compared to net income attributable to unit holders of $35.4 million and operating income of $55.8 million for the third quarter of 2013 ("the third quarter") and net income attributable to unit holders of $27.3 million and operating income of $46.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.The improvement in operating income over the same period in 2012 is a reflection of three factors. First, the Golar Spirit entered her first post retrofit drydock during December 2012 and this resulted in approximately three weeks of offhire and associated positioning costs during that quarter. Secondly, during the intervening period a biennial uplift to the capital component of the Golar Spirit and Golar Winter and a further increase in the charter rate for Golar Winter to compensate for modification works completed took effect. Thirdly, the fourth quarter results include the contribution from Golar Maria. Comparable results for 2012 do not as this vessel was not under the common control of Golar at the time of her acquisition by the Partnership in February 2013. The improved results are partially offset by increased depreciation and amortization as a consequence of the acquisition of the Golar Maria, the additional investment in Golar Winter modifications and four vessel drydocks over the intervening 12 months. As anticipated, fourth quarter 2013 operating results were broadly in line with the third quarter. Revenue net of voyage expenses and operating expenses were both consistent with the prior quarter. Administration expenses were however increased in the fourth quarter by $0.5 million. Net interest expenses decreased to $10.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to $11.1 million for the third quarter. The reduction primarily reflects the maturity of a relatively high cost interest rate swap that matured during November.

|Scientific classification

Demodex aries
Demodex is a genus of tiny parasitic mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals.
Around 65 species of Demodex are known.[1] Two species living on humans have been identified: Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, both frequently referred to as eyelash mites. Demodex canis lives on the domestic dog. Infestation with Demodex is common and usually does not cause any symptoms, although occasionally some skin diseases can be caused by the mites. 'Demodex' is derived from Greek 'dēmos' fat + 'dēx', a wood worm.[2]
Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are typically found on humans. D. folliculorum was first described in 1842 by Simon; D. brevis was identified as separate in 1963 by Akbulatova. D. folliculorum is found in hair follicles, while D. brevis lives in sebaceous glands connected to hair follicles. Both species are primarily found in the face, near the nose, the eyelashes and eyebrows, but also occur elsewhere on the body.
The adult mites are only 0.3–0.4 millimetres (0.012–0.016 in) long, with D. brevis slightly shorter than D. folliculorum.[3] Each has a semitransparent, elongated body that consists of two fused segments. Eight short, segmented legs are attached to the first body segment. The body is covered with scales for anchoring itself in the hair follicle, and the mite has pin-like mouth-parts for eating skin cells and oils (sebum) which accumulate in the hair follicles. The mites can leave the hair follicles and slowly walk around on the skin, at a speed of 8–16 mm per hour, especially at night, as they try to avoid light.[3]
Females of Demodex folliculorum are larger and rounder than males. Both male and female Demodex mites have a genital opening, and fertilization is internal.[4] Mating takes place in the follicle opening, and eggs are laid inside the hair follicles or sebaceous glands. The six-legged larvae hatch after three to four days, and the larvae develop into adults in about seven days. The total lifespan of a Demodex mite is several weeks. Demodex mites live inside the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. Research about human infection by Demodex mites is ongoing,[5][6][7][8] with several preliminary studies suggested an association between mite infection and rosacea.[9]
Older people are much more likely to carry the mites; about a third of children and young adults, half of adults, and two-thirds of elderly people are estimated to carry the mites.[10] The lower rate of children may be because children produce much less sebum. It is quite easy to look for one's own Demodex mites, by carefully removing an eyelash or eyebrow hair and placing it under a microscope. Recently, a study of twenty nine adults (eighteen and over) in North Carolina, USA, found that 90% carried mites, and that all adults over eighteen (n=19) carried them. This study (using a more sensitive DNA detection method compared to traditional sampling and observation by microscope), along with several studies of cadavers, suggests that previous estimates may underestimate the mites' prevalence.[11] However, the very small sample size as well as the extremely small geographical area involved prevent drawing broad conclusions from this suggestive data.
The mites are transferred between hosts through contact of hair, eyebrows and of the sebaceous glands on the nose. Different species of animals host different species of Demodex; only one zoonosis of Demodex is known.
In the vast majority of cases, the mites go unobserved, without any adverse symptoms, but in certain cases (usually related to a suppressed immune system, caused by stress or illness) mite populations can dramatically increase, resulting in a condition known as demodicosis or Demodex mite bite, characterised by itching, inflammation and other skin disorders. Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) can also be caused by Demodex mites.[12] Evidence of a correlation between Demodex infection and acne vulgaris exists suggesting it may play a role in promoting acne.[7]
The species Demodex canis lives predominantly on the domestic dog, but can occasionally infest humans. Although the majority of infestations are commensal, and therefore subclinical, they can develop into a condition called demodectic mange.
Due to their habitat being deep in the dermis, transmission is only usually possible via prolonged direct contact, such as mother-to-pup transmission during suckling. As a result, the most common sites for early appearance of demodicodic lesions are the face, muzzle, forelimbs and periorbital regions. Demodicosis can manifest as lesions of two types: squamous—which causes dry alopecia and thickening of the skin; and pustular—which is the more severe form, causing secondary infection (usually by Staphylococcus) resulting in the characteristic red, numerous pustules and wrinkling of the skin.
The escalation of a commensal D. canis infestation into one requiring clinical attention usually involves complex immune factors. Demodicosis can follow immunosuppressive conditions or treatments, or may be related to a genetic immune deficiency. This is complicated because Demodex is thought to suppress the normal T-lymphocyte response. Also, certain breeds—such as the Dalmatian, the American Bulldog and the American Pit Bull Terrier—appear to be more susceptible.[13]
While direct treatment for severe cases is possible by oral administration of 1% Ivermectin in Ivermectin-tolerant breeds (the general dosage is 0.3–0.6 mg/kg, PO, SID until 2 negative skin scrapings 1 month apart),[14] other breeds can be successfully treated by applying the antiparasitic drug amitraz to the skin, concomitant with improved nutrition and addressing any possible underlying immune system-suppressing diseases. Commercial preparations including fipronil, amitraz, and (S)-methoprene are efficient.[15] The secondary bacterial infection associated with pustular demodicosis may require treatment with antibiotics.

Company Of Heroes: Anthology

Posted: 22/11/2009
Just when the market for innovative RTS (Real time strategy) games was getting stagnant along comes these gems all bundled into one box at a great price!
Unlike the C&C series, you have to control sectors and resources such as fuel and ammunition, because of this tactics plays a much larger role and its not simply a case of sending everyone charging into battle. The AI in the games is great, with enemy units who come under fire diving for cover behind walls etc.
However, graphics (providing your computer can handle them) are jaw droppingly gorgeous, especially with some of the dynamic weather effects. The battlefield looks even better as a barrage of explosions rips through the enemy ranks spraying dirt, shrapnel and limbs up into the air!
Whilst the graphics have certainly managed to capture the dirty and gritty feel of war, the music and sound to the games really heightens the whole experience, with breathtaking classical tracks providing a soundtrack to a war in which your soldiers shout verbal abuse at the enemy!
Overall, if you are after a good looking world war 2 RTS game but which isn't just all gloss, but has some pretty decent AI/tactics etc going on then pick this up. With all games in this pack you don't have an excuse!

Plot wise not a lot happens that hasn't already been stated in the synopsis. The film starts good but never really seemed to go anywhere. Perhaps the lack of plot was on purpose so that it's up to the viewer on how to interpret the film, however I don't feel this worked, and if anything it just left me disappointed.
It's not all bad though, the cinematography is amazing and is truly haunting in places, at times I even felt I was watching some of the jungle scenes from Apocalpyse Now. However, it's just a shame there wasn't much of a story to back it up.
Eden Lake

Whilst zombies, serial killers and gateways to hell are all very amusing, reality isn't something you usually associate with them, and hence a lot of the time the horror element is somewhat lacking.
Eden Lake however is set firmly in the realms of reality! With youth gang culture and knife crime dominating the headlines the past couple of years, this film highlights one very believable possibility which is truely horrific.
It doesn't take long for the film to take on a sinister edge, and when it does it happens very quickly and shockingly. A lot of what is shown is deeply uncomfortable, yet the worst scene is not even shown but just heard.
Whilst the plot has borrowed heavily from many other films such as French film "Ils", the director still succeeds on making it a Brit horror classic to sit alongside other greats such as "The Descent".
Fallout 3

Fallout 1 & 2 were classic RPG games, and despite the violence, humour and gameplay, were always held back by their dated isometric graphics. With Fallout 3 this is certainly not a problem, as it's now fully 3D and looking stunning with a giant apocalyptic world where you're free to roam around and do whatever you please.
Those after a straightforward FPS will probably be disappointed, but for those looking to explore and shape the world through their actions (whether positive or negative) there is much fun to be had here!
While the main quest of the game is fun, it's just as exciting to branch off and find new towns which the main quest doesn't even touch upon. Here you can complete seperate side quests and further your reputation for either good or evil.
The violence and carnage are still present, with limbs and eyeballs flying everywhere, and the typical dark humour still surrounds the game. With a wasteland home to copious amounts of drugs, prostitutes and slavers this certainly isn't a game for the kids!

As a secret Santa gift among friends in the office (who have a sense of humour) this is a must buy. The politically correct crowd will hate it, but for those who don't care and have drunk way too much alcohol at the Christmas party it will provide minutes (possibly a whole hour) of non-stop laughs!
Also, what's not clear from the description is not only does it flash up with the sexuality, it also has a ridiculously camp voice which reports back on it's findings (e.g. Oh my god, they're like so totally gay!).

When I heard they were making a sequel to Red Alert 2 I could hardly wait, and from the early pictures and trailers it looked promising.
However, having now played it for a few days it all seems to be purely graphics based and lacks any real depth. Whilst the explosions and landscapes look nice, the vehicles all look very similar and the buildings look like they were thrown together last minute, clearly 3D does not mean better!
As for gameplay it's somewhat lacking. The missions are dull and repetitive and at times I was wishing I could just speed the game up to get it over and done with quicker.
The franchise is dead, and right now they're just flogging a dead horse for as much financial gain as possible. They need to breathe more life into the RTS genre like Company of Heroes has done!
Also, what's the deal with the DRM protection? You can only install the game three times then it's useles?! I paid for the game, not rent it.

I'm not sure why this film never got more publicity, as it's a very amusing comedy! Set in 1950's suburbia America, everything looks perfect and very picturesque - with the exception of the domesticated zombies helping out around the house.
The humour is at times quite dark which is expected (e.g. school children singing 'In the brain and not the chest. Head shots are the very best.'). However the tone of the film is never too dark, as it seamlessly blends in the tale of a boy and his zombie, a dysfunctional family, and love and affection between humans and zombies.
Definitively worth a watch, but those after masses of gore and severed limbs will be disappointed. Those who love Tim Burton films however will no doubt appreciate the mix of humour and interesting character relationships!

I heard this French horror film compared to the likes of À l'intérieur (Inside) which also came out in the same year, and being a fan of the latter, I decided to give this a try and had high hopes.
It starts well against a backdrop of riots in Paris and the rise of a right-wing presidential candidate, however it quickly loses its seriousness as soon as everyone arrives at the hostel.
From here onwards it quickly becomes very tongue-in-cheek with over-the-top characters, and at one point the family dinner resembles something from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (the one with Dennis Hopkins, not the remake). As the violence escalates and intensifies it becomes more and more surreal with implied paedophilia (leading to deformed babies) and incest between family members.
Whilst it was enjoyable to watch I found myself having to adjust my expectations. I quickly realised I wasn't going to witness a dark gritty horror film with characters with depth but something which instead went straight for the throat in terms of brutality and doesn't care how outrageous it may come across to the viewer.
I'm not saying don't watch it - definately do as it's hugely entertaining - just don't expect as much depth/plot as other foreign horror films such as Switchblade Romance or Inside.

...and i'm not even at school anymore, i'm now 25 but love this film just as much as I ever did. Everything about this film is ridiculous, from the plot, to the character names (Captain Orgazmo, Choda Boy etc) and the "Orgasmatron".
If you like toilet humour then there is plenty here and in parts it can also be very educational (e.g. explaining DVDA, where Trey Parker and Matt Stone take their band name from).
This is one of those films you'll be forever quoting, whether it's singing along to "Now you're a man" by the aforementioned band DVDA, or instead repeating lines of comedy genius from Dave the lighting guy (who despite protests of being straight takes a liking to Orgazmo).
The only reason it didn't get the full five stars as I feel it didn't quite live up to their other films (e.g. Team America and BASEketball), but still a film collection isn't complete without this!

...those were my closing words when the credits started rolling. Don't get me wrong, this film was entertaining but it was barely over an hour long and ended so abruptly without explaining anything.
It started off very promising (especially having heard the hype over the viral marketing campaign months beforehand), and when the action first started it was very reminiscent of scenes from 9/11 - buildings falling, dusting blowing down the streets, mass panic and confusion etc.
However, as soon as the initial awe subsided there is very little plot. The lame rescue attempt plot seemed ridiculous when everyone else around the main cast had the right idea and was running in the opposite direction. As for the cast, they were generally ok, but the camera guy was non-stop cracking jokes and soon had me wishing he'd die a horrible death.
So, for an hour it was entertaining, but personally I felt it lacked any real substance and failed to deliver. I hear they are now thinking of a sequel so fingers crossed they'll pad it out a bit more!

Marc Goone - Close As I'ma Get
Artist: Marc Goone
Producer: Zuckswithit
Album: I Am Not a Lobster OK
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 6 votes )
Last month, we featured Marc Goone's brash, attitude filled and Breaking Bad-inspired Yung Walter White . Now, the St. Louis native is back, showing us a softer, less meth-cooking side of his personality. On Close As I'ma Get, Goone writes a letter to his ex, recounting the bitter end of their relationship. With a relatable, emotional flow draped over bare-boned, yet effective production from Zukswithit, Goone shows not only his versatility, but his crossover appeal. This catchy yet personal performance will undoubtedly satisfy those with an ear for mainstream talent, as well as those who favor the authenticity of the current indie scene. There is no word yet on a larger project that will include Close As I'ma Get, but after racking up three features in less than two months, expect to hear more from Marc Goone inside The DJBooth.

What happens when an Indonesian Christian in his 50s decided to have his YouTube video series.Injil Hidup Berkemenangan (roughly translated to Victorious Living Gospel) is the name of the YouTube channel of Charles Marpaung and his videos. So far there are two types of videos that he has been posting, a speech video where he (and in some occasion, someone else) speaks for several minutes and a video of music sung by someone. Most of these videos are religious in nature and have a pro-Christian message.See it here.

Global stocks tumble as Ukraine tensions intensifyMarch 3, 2014 @ 12:42 am
BEIJING (AP) - Global stocks tumbled Monday as tension over Russia's military advance into Ukraine and possible sanctions by Western governments intensified.
Oil surged above $104 per barrel on concern Russian supplies might be disrupted. Gold was up 2.1 percent to $1,349.30 an ounce on safe haven buying.
In Europe, Germany's DAX sank 2.4 percent to 9,455.1 and France's CAC-40 shed 1.6 percent to 4,337.71. Britain's FTSE 100 lost 1.3 percent to 6,723.72.
Russia's RTS stock index plunged 10.5 percent and the broader MICEX index slumped by 12.7 percent. The ruble, already down nearly 10 percent this year, fell below 50 to the euro for the first time. It was trading below 36.4 to the dollar, also a record.
Traders were jittery over warnings by Washington and other governments that Moscow, an oil exporter, might face sanctions after it seized control of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula.
"Economic war with Russia, if this escalates, would take a toll on the global economy," said Carl B. Weinberg of High Frequency Economics in a report.
Many countries depend on imported oil and gas, making them sensitive to any turmoil that might disrupt supplies.
On Wall Street, futures for the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 indexes were off by an unusually large 0.8 percent and 0.9 percent respectively.
In Asia, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index dropped 1.3 percent to 14,652.23 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down 1.5 percent to 22,500.67. Taipei, Seoul, Sydney and Singapore also fell.
China's Shanghai Composite Index bucked the trend, adding 0.9 percent to 2,075.23 despite a survey showing manufacturing weakened in February and employers cut jobs.
Taiwan's Taiex lost 0.4 percent to 8,601.98 and Seoul's Kospi shed 0.8 percent to 1,964.69. Sydney's S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.4 percent to 5,384.30. Manila and Jakarta also fell.
Monday's losses were a reverse from last week's gains in many global markets.
Benchmark U.S. crude for April delivery was up $1.54 to $104.13 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract added 19 cents in the previous session to close at $102.59.
In currency markets, the euro rose to $1.3777 from $1.3767 late Friday. The dollar fell to 101.37 yen from 101.40 yen.

Talk:Citrix Systems
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
This article reads like a page on a company's marketing website, rather than a factual Wikipedia article. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 03:10, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. Would you be able to be more specific about which elements you feel are marketing rather than factual? I'd be keen to make any further edits to ensure this fits within the guidelines --Richard Botley (talk) 17:36, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
The Old Days[edit]
I am a long term Citrix employee that would like to see the history of Citrix be captured as accurately as possible. I have dedicated much time on my blog to write about specific aspects of Citrix history but have been wary of putting the information into Wikipedia. Obviously I need someone that is fairly Citrix neutral and a better writer to make sure the right things happen.
Please review my blog entries relevant to Citrix history [1]. I'm sure that most are not relevant to submission to Wikipedia but I could not reliably tell you which ones are of the most interest.
Jeffrey.muir 11:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Citrix Ready[edit]
This section is obviously written by a salesperson or someone with similar marketing bias. It needs to be deleted or rewritten.Tolstoy143: Quos vult perdere dementat 18:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Citrix products are now widely used in both public and private sectors, although they are often deployed as a tactical rather than a strategic choice (achieving specific objectives or solving a specific problem rather than as part of a systematic plan).
I disagree with this assertion. We see a very large number of clients who use Citrix as a strategic approach to software deployment and delivery. I would restate this as follows:
Citrix products are now widely used in both public and private sectors. A company might select Citrix for its short term tactical advantages, or for its long term strategic benefits. (Of course, this will vary from company to company depending on each specific company's needs.)
"A company might select Citrix for its short term tactical advantages, or for its long term strategic benefits." ........such as?Tolstoy143: Quos vult perdere dementat 18:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I undertook a substantial rewrite of this article, partly to eliminate the narrative style of much of the article, and to clean up sloppy grammar. There is a lot of work that needs to be done, and there is a dearth of information about the early years of the company available on the web; their own website does not contain any reports or press releases prior to 2000, and the company history is limited to milestones such as acquisitions and product releases. The original creator of this article was apparently someone connected with the company early on, as there is a lot of "inside-player" information about the relationship between one of the founders and the board of directors, but there is no sourcing for any of the information, and it may need to be flagged as such. Horologium 18:32, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
it sounds more like someone is trying to sell shares rather explain what the company is about what are they making ?? who uses there products ? those are the kind of question i want answered —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 18:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
External links[edit]
I'm reverting one EL edit because it: (a) replaced what appears to be an independent citrix employee community site with a link to the citrix domain (which is already linked), for a page that's linked right on the citrix home page; (b) broke the good link to dabcc.com; (c) added two commercial links that may be relevant but would need more than that to belong here. --Rich Janis (talk) 22:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps there should be some discussion of which independent support sites should be listed here. As I see it, none of them is essential to the article, but most important is that the list not proliferate arbitrarily. Rich Janis (talk) 22:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- None of them being essential, according to a loose interpretation of one of the points at WP:EL, is a good reason for removing them. It says, "A lack of external links, or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links." This is a basic argument against all third-party community sites, since they fall under the category of Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links. The encyclopedia should link to the official site, or to ones that provide relevant encyclopedic information.
- I think we should remove citrite.org for these reasons, and also because it's closed. I'm not seeing the relevance of Frameworkx.com either – I don't see how the blog of these two Microsoft employees is relevant to the article, even if one of them does work for Citrix. Am I missing something here? It's just that last time I tried to clean up a load of external links I got told off for it (virtually all the links were eventually removed, though). Dabcc.com says it's a Citrix partner, so per "Articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the official site if any", it sounds like we should link to them, though it seems to be a fairly useless and spammy sort of site (my personal opinion). Ideally, I reckon the only link that should stay in this case is the official web site. • Anakin (talk) 20:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
re: General[edit]
Citrix does not specialize in "thin clients". This statement is incorrect. Citrix does not even sell thin clients. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 18:19, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Heavy POV in Layoffs section[edit]
I'm fully removing GregorB's recently-contributed "Layoffs" section; it cites no sources and has a clearly non-neutral tone. If anyone can pick out the facts, find citations, and re-integrate them into the article, please do. The text of Gregor's contribution is below. -- Control.valve (talk) 16:43, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Due to mismanagement, Citrix has laid off 10% of its employees world-wide. The "global" figure deliberately under-represents the severity of the downsizing. Citrix has over the past 10 years, outsourced most of its jobs to India. During the great downsizing of 2009, Citrix did not cut one of it's Indian jobs, which pay less than 10% of the USA/UK positions. In actuality, Citrix eliminated 25% of its US and UK employees.
Ironically, the total salaries of all employees fired is a tiny fraction of the money Citrix spent acquiring each of the companies listed in the "Acquisitions" section of this Wikipedia page. Furthermore, the mass firings occurred a few months after CEO Mark Templeton bragged about his new Tesla Roadster, a car that costs more than most of his employees make in a year, by producing this YouTube video and sending an email to all employees about it. Thus leading Citrix employees to ask, "Hey Mark, how's that Roadster of yours? Still runs good?" Before the layoffs, Citrix executives repeatedly told employees during "all hands" meetings that Citrix was in good financial standing and could weather the storm. After the layoffs, remaining employees wondered how many other "white lies" executives told during those meetings.
Despite the layoffs, Citrix stock continues to nose dive as the company fails to keep up with its prime competitor, VMWare. Citrix recently scrapped its plans to implement a three-tiered database architecture for its platform in order to play catch up with VMWare. Citrix has a site license to the VMWare platform and often tests Citrix software within VMWare images.
Despite the massive layoffs, Citrix must port all of its code from private Microsoft APIs to public ones before their license agreement expires at the end of the year. Much of this work might now have to be done in India.
--126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:35, 1 February 2009 (UTC) It seems to me that the author of this piece is probably part of the 10% and besides the fact that the text is non-neutral it might actually contain confidential information, for which this person (if indeed an ex-employee) can be prosecuted.
why we use citrix softwares[edit]
I want to know what is reason behind using the citrix softwares/systems
I want to what is the specialization in citrix
Thank & regards sanjay Gupta e-mail:email@example.com
why we use II[edit]
I too would like to know what the big deal is? This article totally fails to explain to me what if any use Citrix's gear is. Their aquisition of Xen I am fully across, but virtual machines are a whole subject domain unto themselves. As far as I can glean.....(1) they have some kind of improved desktop transmitter (ie. the stuff that X could do in 1980 or that you can more or less do with VNC)....(2) I have seen Citrix used in a workplace to 'lock down' a windows system - perhaps providing a decent security model by heavily modifying windows' own woefully inadquate one? I DONT KNOW. And this article hasn't helped me know. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 13:55, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
What is "Citrix"?[edit]
What is a "Citrix" specialist? (Quite a bunch of job offers seem to include a term like that.) Does he mostly do, what a VMware specialist does: hypervisor? Or does he maybe mostly do thin client (terminal server?) stuff? The article seems not clear to me ... is it not the company, who puts the focus on their currently main area of business, but the public perception -> so is it alright not to be included in an article about the company? But then, where might it be OK, to be included in a wikipedia source of information? --Alien4 (talk) 07:17, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
Working to improve this article[edit]
Hi there, I wanted to introduce myself to any editors watching this page: working on behalf of Citrix I'll be offering some suggestions here to help improve this article. My main focus will be getting the article in line with the guidelines at WikiProject Companies. In particular, I'm hoping to add up-to-date information on the corporate organization and making sure the Products section is written up into prose and updated. To be clear, I won't be making any direct edits to the article due to my financial conflict of interest, but instead will prepare drafts and share them for editors to review and take live, if they look ok.
To begin with, I'm working on a draft for a more developed History section, since this is currently quite short and sparse on information about the company's major developments. Also, I think that it might be best to roll the Microsoft relationship information into this section, rather than it having its own section. I welcome any comments or additional suggestions editors might have. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 15:46, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

December 21, 2014
This morning's roundup was targeting parents who police say hadn't paid their child support. Laurel County officials say it's a tedious process, one that will continue long after today.
"We just want you to pay your child support, we don't want to put you in jail, it's counterproductive," said Laurel County Attorney Jodi Albright.
But for some parents in Laurel County, the consequence for not paying their child support was going to jail.
Sheriff's deputies hit the road around 8:30 this morning and went to homes across the county.
"It's a pay or stay warrant, that's the two options they have," said Laurel County Sheriff John Root.
But it's not an easy process. Unlike drug roundups where officers have often been to a suspects house, many of the addresses on file don't match up.
Which means the people who aren't located today will continue to be pursued.
"When we're done today we'll gather up more warrants and we'll do it again in a couple months," said Albright.
Officials say anyone who does owe back child support can contact the County Attorney to begin making arrangements so they don't get an early morning knock on their door from police.

1: Moving House
-I hope you liked this chapter! I know it says I haven't updated since July 10th, 2013. This is because this is an old story of mine (and frankly, a badly written one) that I am re-writing, with an entirely new plot and more detail. It will at some point tell you that I have updated.-
5th July, 1996
I've never experienced normality. I don't think it would suit me. It doesn't really matter if it would suit me or not: I can never be normal. With a Dark Lord as a parent you can't really have a normal life. The closest I get to normality is my summer break. All year, I am feared and talked about because I am Bellatrix Lestrange's daughter. I have a few friends only, friends who aren't scared of me or using me for something. When I get home for summer, I am left alone to do whatever I want. No disturbances from irritating people.
That small moment of normality is my sanity, and now it's being taken away from me. Why, you ask? Severus Snape. The Dungeon Bat, the Potions Master, the bane of my life. He's a sneak for my Father, a double agent, spying on the Order of The Phoenix. Oh, how I'd love to ruin him like he's ruining me.
What has he done, you ask? He's taking me away from my freedom. My Father has betrothed me to him, and we're to be married when I turn seventeen. Naturally, I thought that I had at least some time. Alas, when I returned from Hogwarts three days ago, I was informed that I would be staying with him over the summer. You can imagine how overjoyed I was.
So here I sit, in my Chambers, enjoying my last few minutes of freedom. Soon, he'll come waltzing in to take me away to Prison, and I'll be expected to go without a fight. I have to go without a fight. If I run away or put up a fight, Narcissa and Draco will be punished. They've raised me since I was a baby, and cold-hearted though I may be, those are two of the only people I actually care about. It leaves me with no choice but go to along with this plan and live out the rest of my life in an unhappy marriage. Perhaps, with any luck, one of us will be killed in the war.
I hear my name being called, and I get up out of the windowsill, taking one long last look around the room that I have called my own for the last 14 years. Time to say goodbye, Jasmine. I picked up the suitcase, magically expanded (of course) from where it lay on my bed and lifted it onto the floor.
I summoned one of the House Elves and handed them the suitcase. They bowed and thanked me, before leaving the room. I forced myself to walk out of the room, closing the door behind me. The end of one life, the start of another.
I reached the hallway of the manor, where I found my suitcase standing on the wooden floor. Next to it was Severus Snape. With his wavy black hair, pale skin and obsidian eyes, he certainly stood out from the crowd. He simply glanced at me before looking away, instead observing Draco and Narcissa.
Both had changed drastically since the capture and imprisonment of Uncle Lucius. Draco was much calmer and relaxed, though completely oblivious to the danger that he was in. Uncle Lucius had always been harsh on him, so no doubt he was both angered and relieved that he was in Azkaban. Aunt Narcissa, though, had fell to pieces. She didn't eat or sleep any more, therefore she had lost quite a bit of weight. She was very pale and shaky all of the time, and I could tell she was constantly worrying what was going to happen to me and Draco, now that they had gotten Lucius.
As I hugged her goodbye, I couldn't help but feel that she was slightly relieved that I was going away. She didn't have to worry about me as much: as much of an idiot as Severus Snape is, he's not stupid enough to let any harm come to me. If I got hurt whilst in his care, it's safe to say his life would be terminated.
"Be safe. Visit soon." Aunt Narcissa whispered in my ear. "It's not what I wanted to happen but try to be happy."
I nodded, pulling away from the hug. I didn't want to hug her too tightly for I was worried that I might break her, she looked so fragile. I hugged Draco briefly and awkwardly - we were cousins, the same age, and would be seeing each other at Hogwarts anyway. We're in the same house and year. Snape picked up my suitcase and offered me his arm. I wrapped my own around it.
The unpleasant sensation of Apparition overwhelmed me, everything turning black and I found myself struggling to breathe. There was a pounding in my ears, and when I eventually landed on solid ground again, I took a deep breath, savouring the feeling of the cool night air in my lungs.
I looked around my surroundings. All I could see were rows and rows of battered houses, some looking more derelict. Their windows were dull and the properties showed little signs of life. The air was thick and the whole place had a very industrial feel to it. It was safe to say that I was far away from the clean air of the countryside where Malfoy Manor lay.
"Welcome," Snape stated. "To Spinner's End."
"It looks lovely." I replied sarcastically.
Snape did not reply nor look at me, he simply started to walk at a fast pace through the rows of houses. I walked at his side purely because I did not have a clue where I was and did not want to get lost. He eventually came to a stop outside an ordinary looking house that was in slightly better condition than the others. The grass was neatly trimmed, presumably by magic, though that seemed to be the only thing that had been looked after.
As I walked into the house, there was an obvious air of neglect. Snape clearly only lived here in the Summer, and never bothered to look after the house or decorate once in a few hundred years. We stepped into what I presumed was the living room. Each wall was lined completely with books, an old sofa and chairs spread around the room. Various candles were placed around the room, giving the room an eerie glow.
"Let me show you your room. I presumed that you wanted your own room?" Snape asked, and I nodded. "That would be best for both of us, especially considering that I'm just as comfortable with this arrangement as you are. Now, come."
A summer of fun is definitely not on the cards.

Mumbai: Condemning the Naxal attack at
Bhamragad in Maharashtra`s Gadchiroli district in which 17
police personnel were killed, Governor S C Jamir on Friday said
there should be a strategic planning to combat Naxalism.
"This is fourth such incident this year and underlines
the need for a strategic planning to eliminate the scourge of
Naxalism from the State and the country. I condemn the
dastardly killings," he said in a statement here.
The brutal manner in which a group of over 100 Naxalites
killed 17 brave police personnel in Gadchiroli district
yesterday shows the desperation of the insurgents to derail
the election process, currently underway, by terrorizing the
people, Jamir said.
"I salute the brave police personnel who lost their lives
while discharging their duty and convey my heartfelt
sympathies to the families of the martyred police personnel,"
he said.

Homebrew shirts, stickers, mugs, etc.http://www.zazzle.com/mightbemary*
OK I heres what I have. 9 are in test.. Depending on which supplier you take to get filled, they want either 5 year or 10 year dates. 10 year is CGA's guideline. some suppliers will only do 5 years on customer owned bottles.
I will send out the cylinders with the best dates first.
I do have 1 that is out of test. I will sell that one for $20 to help offset the cost of the hydro.

Would you hand a stranger your car keys and let them drive off in your car? You shouldn't give them access to your account either. Gamers have heard the advice before, yet a lot of people still opt to share their account information with close friends. It may seem harmless to have a guild mate complete a quest for you or attend a raid when you can't be there, but bad things can happen. While it doesn't always end in catastrophe, maybe you'll simply log back in with a new last name, or you could attempt to log in to find your account banned due to mischief caused by someone who was "helping" you.Find other good tips on keeping your account clean and secure in this very helpful topic posted on EQ2 Players.

This movie is almost as bare as Brandon's own life. A couple of really engaging and gripping scenes, coupled with some masterly film making, but ultimately a bit too empty for my taste.
I honestly don't know what to make of Steve McQueen.
After watching 12 Years a Slave, I was ready to declare the man a master filmmaker, gifted with an ability to create compelling cinema through classically minimalist tastes. The man loves his long takes, adores a static camera shot, appreciates the importance of allowing actors to simply act. His stylistic choices seem to be made from a critic's list of dream directorial traits, and his background as a visual artist…
Unflinching, raw and devastating in its portrayal of sexual addiction.
It brought home to me the old axiom the an addiction is really a war on desire with the end goal of murdering it in the end. This film is a cautionary tale depicting that sad dehumanizing journey. A griping watch even if there was no clear victory, or redemption.
During the press circuit for SHAME, Steve McQueen discussed a distinctive characteristic of sex addiction compared to other forms of dependency: how it can only be satiated through an interaction with another person.
