oh come on. it's clearly just a fluke!
Re:Wait. (152 comments)
spoken like someone who's never been there.
first off there's no food for sale.
There is ice, mainly because that's one item that most people will probably want and can't provide themselves very easily.
Coffee is also available for sale, i have to admit i don't understand that one, but plenty of people provide free coffee for themselves and anyone else. There was a community tea/coffee house around the corner from my tent that offered free coffee/tea every morning. My guess is they use it as a bit of a fundraiser for the organization....if that's a problem for you, don't buy it...I didn't.
I'm not sure what offends you so much about a week in which you can't spend money....i found it fascinating. Not going to claim society could work that way long term, but it's certainly a novel experience.
Re:Bummer (152 comments)
seconded... I went in 2008 (would love to go back but it's a bit of a hike+ a lot of gear from the east coast) and one of my favorite aspects of it was knowing that for the next week I would have no contact with the outside world. Even when i left to drive home, i left my cellphone turned off for a few hours just to savor my last moments of "freedom" before listening to the inevitable voicemails, letting my parents know i'd survived "that crazy thing in the desert", etc.
As you say...you can choose to leave it off, but it's awfully hard to resist that urge to just check in on one little thing, if you know you can..... it's also a lot easier to tell people you're not going to be reachable for a week when there's literally no cell service, than to say "i'm turning my phone off for a week and no, i'm not even going to turn it on once a day to check for voicemails/texts just in case"
Maybe it's just me (and my job at the time which involved a lot of late night wakeup calls for server issues) but a whole week of not being reachable was utterly amazing. (so was the rest of the burn, of course)
Re:Getting old (706 comments)
why would you assume the person is on facebook and even knows they've being tagged? last i checked FB let you tag people even if they didn't have an account. Or they could just caption the photo "joe smith doing a great keg stand!"
I think you're asking a bit much for people to continuously monitor what might be posted about them on any number of social media sites.
As for discussing w/ your friends what's appropriate...yeah, ideally... practically? not so much. besides, if you don't catch it for a month, it's too late anyway.
Re:A picture speaks a thousand words... (174 comments)
don't get me wrong, this is a very cool technology with plenty of legitimate uses. i just wanted to call out the difference between cropping and what this is doing, in terms of losing image information/context.
given the choice of an image which is cropped, or an image which had this done to it, if i'm trying to use the image to reconstruct the "truth" of a scene, i want the cropped image. it's at least slightly less artificial.
but for practical applications, such as browsing the web on a 320x320 screen, yeah, this is definitely good stuff.

The 'Put' That's Really Driving US Equities Is Not Ben Bernanke's
I wrote the article below on the evening of July 22. Not much
has changed in the week since, except that new bond issuance grew
even hotter, with more than $35 billion of bonds sold in the last
five days, and we discovered
) has already executed on about half of its $50 billion buyback
plan. Not much, that is, until Friday morning, when a transaction
took place that encapsulates the driving forces behind equities for
the last four years. With that tease out there, I'll save the best
for last and offer you the following thoughts and anecdotes, which,
even if a week old, are just as relevant this morning.
From an articled written on July 22, 2013:
As I left the office behind for some family time in the old country (Italy), the corporate credit market was on fire, with credit default swaps of large US financials down 5-8%, PIIGS sovereign CDS down double-digit bps (Portugal who?), and a new issue bond calendar jam-packed with offerings, especially if you consider we are right in the midst of the dog days of summer. Now on the plane and reading through today's Bloomberg Leveraged Finance newsletter, I realize I've actually missed some of the really juicy parts of what's happening in bond land. Take a gander at these headlines:
- "New Jersey Division of Investments may add as much as $500 million next year to its $3.5 billion in HY investments."
- Continental Resources ( CLR ) looking to refinance 8.25% notes of 2019; if all goes the same as its other recent refis, it should be able to slash its rate in half.
- "MPH Intermediate Holding Company scheduled to sell $750 million in PIK toggle notes (read: I'll pay you interest on my debt with more debt). Proceeds together with a $100 million add-on to term loan were earmarked to fund a distribution to shareholders of the parent company." (The deal was completed mid last week.)
- "Harbor Freight Tools set the rate on a $1 billion covenant-light term loan to refinance debt and support a dividend."
- And the much watched HY Bond Funds, which have little to do with the real health of corporate bonds but are nonetheless the obsessive focus of many fixed income "worriers," had the biggest inflow weeks since February of 2012.
I didn't have the chance to scroll through the news on
structured products such as CDOs and CLOs, but when I do I fully
expect to find more of those monsters created and sold to
yield-starved buyers.
What for equities then? Over the weekend (July 20-21), I noticed a
slew of tweets comparing the current stock market environment to
the 2007 pre-crash euphoria. I tweeted back that if you look at
what was happening in the 2007 bond market pre- and post-Bear
Sterns, you'd see that everything from HY spreads to bond issuance
was heading in the wrong direction. Today, the environment is
almost diametrically opposite.
I share the view that earnings, for the most part, are stinking up
the joint, and despite a fair amount of optimism in the media, I'd
rather wait to see the signs of a real US recovery before believing
we are in something more than a liquidity high. But for better or
worse (almost certainly the latter...eventually), reality doesn't
quite matter to the current dynamic of equities. The only thing
that matters is the ability of companies to fund their buybacks,
dividends, and distributions to shareholders.
Tomorrow night (July 23) we may well get the quintessential example
of the above when Apple reports its earnings. I have no idea if
they will be good or bad, though I have very little reason for
optimism. What I do know is that at some price below where it
trades right now there is an immovable $50 billion debt-funded
stock bid, and when that is turned on, no amount of fundamental or
technical analysis, forecasting, and opining will matter: When that
buyback kicks in, the stock will go only in one direction -- up.
If you are muttering to yourself that this game will end horribly,
horribly bad, I am with you 100%. I was telling myself the same
thing in 2005 and 2006 when I was relentlessly shorting the
homebuilders, and banks that no longer exist. As it turns out I was
100% correct, and what I have to show for it is a P/L statement
worthy only to be burnt. The day to go all in on the short side and
sell every rip will undoubtedly come, but not as long as the AAPLs
of the world continue to be fed money to engineer their stocks
Little did I know at the time I wrote the above, that come Friday morning, the AAPL buyback would be upstaged by what is perhaps the crown jewel (to date at least) of the current bull market dynamic: the recapitalization plan by Activision Blizzard ( ATVI ). Here are the salient terms of the transaction as summarized by StreetAccount:
Activision Blizzard has reached an agreement under which it will acquire from Vivendi ( VIV ) approximately 429M Company shares and certain tax attributes, in exchange for approximately $5.83B in cash.... ATVI expects that its new outstanding share count and capital structure (which will include approximately $1.4B of net debt) will result in expected pro forma 2013 EPS accretion of between 18-29% on a GAAP basis and 23-33% on a non-GAAP basis.
The highlighted portion above is key because, prior to this transaction, ATVI carried $4.3 billion of net cash on its balance sheet. That means that this deal, the jump in ATVI's stock, the accretion to earnings, and everything else that inures to the benefit of shareholders (and, let's not forget, ATVI's insiders), hinges on, and is made possible by the ability of ATVI to borrow billions of dollars in the bond market. No bond sales = no deal = no EPS accretion = a stock price that continues to languish as it has for almost five years. Introduce debt in the equation and without any changes to the fundamentals of the company or the industry, the stock price is 15% higher overnight.
This is what the current bull market is all about. Day to day the market may go up or down some, and macro factors can scare it into sharp corrections every once in a while, but in the end, stocks and the market will move based on companies buying back their own stocks, and those proceeds being reinvested in other stocks. Based on companies' balance sheets and the amounts they are able to borrow, that's the real "put" under the market, one that doesn't appear to be going away any time soon.

Yikes! The fondant wasn't the trouble, the trouble was getting the buttercream smooth. My first pass over the frosting kept pulling up crumbs, so I stuck the cake in the freezer for a few. Then, my sides weren't completely even. Back to the video before next time. The fondant was actually pretty easy to work with, although I have to be more careful cutting it around next time. I cut it a wee bit short!
I am going to do one every weekend until I do better. Thanks for all of your help with this!

Praise? Complaints?
It's going to take a little time for me to acclimate myself to the new layout.
Also, it's been a little slow/buggy for me thus far.
I'm hoping that it's due to the fact that it's new and everyone's downloading it, or that it's Charter and a glitchy few days for the internet connection...

This lively and controversial show takes on the question of "whose body is it anyway?" as Marc talks about subjects such as drugs, prostitution, euthanasia, gay marriage, gun rights and so much more.
Did you know that if you support the drug war that you are on the same side as the drug dealers? Marc will explain why the drug war is bad for America and why is should be ended.
Should prostitution be legal and if not, do you really own yourself? If you do own yourself, shouldn't you be able to sell your organs or even kill yourself?
Marc will push you to examine the question, "Are you really for freedom?" Your answer to this question may be quite different than you had thought before you watched the show.
Freedom is the answer...what's the question?

This is a very old Hotel very thin walls and creaky floors. I heard the conversation of the guest across from my room. Room doos closed with a slam! Waking you up at all hours.... The receptionist were not very friendly, I asked for help making a call, the told me to read the directions in my room.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Notajoke Platinum Experince...Not
For people who do not regularly stay at hotels I would suggest that the experience they receive at this hotel was fine.
However as a Platinum member I was expecting a little more, why?
The check-in sign for SPG Gold and Platinum serves no purpose, everyone queued. In every other SPG hotel I have stayed in there is clear separation, thus allowing Gold & Platinum members the respect for the dedication to SPG hotel group. The same experience was received on check-out. Please do not tell me that at peak times this occurs, if you know it occurs then staff it accordingly.
The "Suite Night" upgrade I used was a disappointment, the room was tierd in appearance, the bed and especially the pillows were not the "Sheraton" standard, no iron in room. The view from the room felt like I was looking through into a back alley. I was also surprised that not even complimentary water was provided.
The whole experience did not make me feel valued; I suppose we cannot expect the same level of service at all of the Sheraton Hotels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MountainJ Understated Elegance - refreshing in an otherwise brash new world
I was somewhat reticent to book a stay at the Park Lane Hotel after reading a number of scathing reviews. However, my own firsthand experience was quite the opposite. The place has an understated elegance that many brash souls used to eating in faux-marble designed MacDonald's or zipping through neon-lit modern airports find hard to appreciate. The room I had (6th floor) was large and generally well appointed – the only quibble being that the light switch to the bathroom was to the left of the right opening door...
Having been brought up in a relatively opulent country manor in Surrey, I found the bathroom's classic design very reassuring. Sure, the taps don't have dual-flow, but as I wrote, everything doesn't need to be regressed to the functional blandness of a fast-food outlet. The bed were comfortable and the sheets crisply clean and ironed. The towels, equally spring-fresh. The staff were some of the most competent and pleasant - without being sycophantic, I have come across.
My guess is that a proportion of the people who have complained about their stay here are those that really could not afford such near-upper class style, but splurged all they same. Having done so, they were then hyper-sensitive to every perceived blemish to "get their money's worth", without realizing elegance and the latest high-tech gizmo are anathema! I will certainly return... And the location saved hours and a fair chunk of change on Tube and taxi rides...

Rated 4 out of 5 by Clydesdale7 Great place, great location
The Park Lane Hotel is a wonderfully quaint hotel in Mayfair, right near Piccadilly. Nice, clean rooms with wonderful showers (with usage instructions...needed by those not familiar with this style of shower). Exceptionally comfortable beds make it possible to get a good night's sleep, even if you've had a really busy day. I particularly enjoyed the bar and lounge area, where the attentive staff made it possible to have great business meetings or to just sit back and relax. The hotel's WiFi is very good as well. Ideal for both business travelers and tourists, the hotel will undergo a major renovation soon which will make it even more hospitable.

Rated 1 out of 5 Never to Return
I have stayed at the Park Lane and recommended it in the past. This time the room was awful, the wifi didn't work ('it is difficult in that part of the building') even though I was charged for it with my gift, we had to move couches to get the second bed in the room...yes, we lifted and moved the furniture, and yes we booked a two bed room. The room was no longer usable with all of the crammed in furniture in it, you should see the pics. I am still waiting for the water that we requested...twice. The plug converters required three calls, the second call said we had to pay 3 pounds for them but we could keep them (just wanted to charge our phones, we did not want to be obligated to purchase electronics). Janitor carts outside our room the entire stay. As I said, I have stayed here before and was elated. I brought my friend there this time and spent the entire time apologizing. When I shared my concerns with the staff, they said, "Sorry you feel that way." Of course no one removed furniture, brought water, etc.... NEVER AGAIN, and it is a shame.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TravelerFromMaryland Loved the Park Lane Hotel!
I took the family here for Spring Break and stayed for a little over a week. This was sort of a pre-celebration for our 10th wedding anniverary. I did let the hotel concierge know ahead of time and they graciously upgraded us which was very much appreciated. Having two kids in tow, the spacious suite was perfect. We did have an issue with the A/C not working because the building's A/C system had to switch to heat. They did their best to accomodate us by sending up fans to our room. It wasn't the perfect solution but I appreciated their effort. The cooling issue was only noticeable on one night,
Breakfast in the hotel restaurant was fine. I found it unusual that they would charge breakfast for my 5 yr old son but I didn't really want to complain because everything else with our stay exceeded my expectations.
The location of the Park Lane is close to unbeatable. Right across Green Park and not too far from the action of Piccadilly.
I take my family on at least 2-3 vacations a year and I have to say, this London vacation with our stay at the Park Lane was one of our best. We will definitely return to the Park Lane for our next UK visit.

Booked and paid for an Executive Room which website advertises has a walk-in shower. Room was still not ready upon arrival at 3pm. We had to wait and then dropped our cases off in our room before quickly leaving for planned events. Returned later same evening to discover combined bath/shower in bathroom. This caused one of my family some difficulty which was not envisaged for the type of room we had paid for. It was a short stay and we were unaware that changing rooms was an option available to us so we made the best of it. Returned home and informed the Hotel Manager of my disappointment with our room and he stated that I had been allocated more floor space instead of a separate shower and that a separate shower was a preference I should have asked for? I did not think I would have to ask for a specific feature that I had already paid in advance for. Staff were friendly and helpful too - had to ring Reception each day of our stay for them to supply towels/cup/toiletries etc for the 3rd person in our room. Our room view was directly into the Sheraton Human Resources offices - no privacy whatsoever should you opt for some daylight in the dark and dreary 'Executive' room.

I checked in here and it was kind of weird. Something was wayyyy off from the beginning so I'm taking the time to put it in words so people can get an honest impression of what to expect.
+ Its like a "traditional" decor. . I thought "oh this must be how the Brits do design" but I think it was just an older hotel. No worries.
+ The nice girl that checked us in asked me if I "wanted the king bed". As in phrased it in a question while looking at the both of us. This is a Hospitality 101 no-no.
I was kind of off-put by the whole check-in experience, but I'm a positive person so whatever. I would just recommend checking all the options.

"I have never done a pumpkin cookie before and came across this recipe. I must say that this was a very good recipe. For the people who say its to bland add a teaspoon of vanilla and opt out the spices for just two teaspoons of pumpkin spice makes a world of difference. These cookies were so good I'm kqking them for my sons his driver for Christmas""

Beautiful but.... Although I was looking for a cherry finish bar stool, the color of this chair is more red then will work with the furniture I already have. It has a 'heavy' feel to it, even though the chair back is cutout, the legs and sides are thick, which gives it that heavy feeling. Would be great for a traditional decor but ours is more west indies style.

Just what the doctor ordered These chairs were just the right size for my breakfast counter. They are a little more red than I would have liked, but very good quality and shipped to me in a very timely manner. The put together was a little tricky, especially if I didn't have other tools to work with, but overall, I would recommend them.

Very red cherry wood The color of the stain of the wood is very red. Not a light or medium cherry, but red. The back cut out of the chair definitely seemed flimsy. We returned them right away.

Nice looking, but chips easily I bought 4 of these chairs several years ago, and continue to be largely happy with them. They are comfortably, attractive, and look great in my home. I put them together when they arrived, and was pleased that the process was reasonably easy. The only complaints I have are: 1) They�ve started to squeak when they swivel, and there doesn�t seem to be any way to oil them or otherwise remove the squeak. 2) The surface chips easily, and I can�t find a way to prevent that or to repair them.

Great barstools! I really love these barstools. The price was great and they look expensive. They perfectly match my cherry cabinets and the black seat goes well with my granite countertops. Someone commented that the back was cut out of cheap plywood, but there is absolutely no way this design could have been cut out of solid wood. If it was, it wouldn't hold up. It looks fine, trust me, I am picky. So far, I love them and they are holding up well. No signs of wear.

Nice diversion, but irrelvant to this discussion. The economics of continuing Medicare are complex and mostly unrelated to the causes of our debt issues. But this much is certain; the cost of administer the government run Medicare program for our seniors -- now and tomorrow -- are far less than those racked up by the private insurance companies. That was the basis of the current law limiting them to 20% overhead and profit (remember the $1 billion golden parachute given the CEO of

It has been long known that private insurance companies spent less than 80% on claims (over 20% on overhead and profits); thus new legislation capping that figure at 20% or less).

Letters to the Editor
November / December 2014 Issue
Hi Megg and Eric,
I wanted to reach out and let you know how much I enjoyed reading your "Wide Open" article in the latest Nevada Magazine! As a fairly new Nevada resident, I poured over the details, and have started planning my family's trip to our state's northwest corner. Thanks for the tips and the great read!
Tracie Barnthouse, Reno
Tracie, welcome to Nevada! So glad we could be a resource for your family trips. We'd love to hear about your adventure, too! – MM
Just received our Sept./Oct. copy and have read it cover to cover. This issue is many times better than the last one. Every time I thought "This is it; It has to be the best article in the issue," I found an even better article on the next page. I will go back to spend more time with the feature article since there are things I want to visit. But finishing with those incredible photos was genius.
Kay Loudon, Reno
Kay, thank you! We were pretty proud of this issue too, and we loved the photo contest winners. Make sure you check out the staff picks on our website for more great contest photos. – MM
Love Nevada. Love the magazine. Home is Nevada. While I have no "tall tales" to present, there are a couple of clarifications to note in the Sept./Oct. issue:
Among the Nevada Silver Trails adventures (ad, page 25) Death Valley/Scotty's Castle are listed. They are in California so don't get lost. And if you do, the areas of Nevada east of Death Valley offer spectacular exploring.
High Rock Canyon is mentioned as home to "pronghorn antelope" (page 32). Pronghorns are not "antelope," although they are so often mistakenly identified as such it's become the colloquial truth. Happy sesquicentennial!
Janet Thorpe
Janet, the Nevada Silver Trails group does know those areas are in California, but as many tourists base their Death Valley adventures in Nevada, they have included it in their territory advertisement, which isn't subject to our editorial influence. The pronghorn antelope term is, as you say, a colloquial truth; the BLM, Nevada Department of Wildlife, and the Friends of the Black Rock each refer to the animals in High Rock as the pronghorn. We got our information from those sources. Thank you so much for taking the time to write us. We always strive to be 100 percent accurate, and it's readers like you who help us! – MM
In our Sept/Oct. issue, page 56 incorrectly states that the cost of constructing of the Basic Magnesium, Inc., plant in Henderson was "$150 billion." The actual cost was a little over $130 million. Thank you, Burt Nemcher, for your awesome attention to detail, and taking the time to let us know.

This is a delicious european style cake that slices cleanly and transports well. I used almond flour for the 4 oz of almonds and then dusted the finished cake with powdered sugar for a more attractive presentation. I had some good canned sour cherries and used that for the sauce and added a dash of kirsch. The cake makes a great base for all kinds of fruit compotes. This recipe yields 10 servings.
This dessert was awesome-even without the cherry topping! The first time I made it I remember that I had to keep making trips into the kitchen for "another bite"! Friends and family alike rave over it!
I really enjoyed this torte, but when I served it at a tea on a table with several other desserts, and it just didn't look sexy enough to compete. Lucky me: lots of leftovers. It would be great for a sit-down dinner party.
This is an ideal dinner party dessert recipe: sophisticated, delicious, never-fail, and quick and easy to prepare. The only problem is finding sour cherries -- so I've frequently made the cake with a raspberry sauce. If fresh raspberries are too expensive, you can even use frozen unsweetened ones, and add Amaretto or Chambord to make the sauce a bit more interesting. I just wish I had about eight comparable dessert recipes. If I had, I'd be able to pass myself off as a skilled baker...
I have made this many times, the first time being when it was the cover picture on an issue. it is easy , has a wonderful texture...everyone always loves it. i have difficulty in finding sour cxherries though, if anyone has input i would appreciate it.
This is an excellent cake. It was devoured by my guests. I didn't have any cherries, so I served it in a pool of chocolate sauce. I added a drop of almond extract to heighten the flavor a bit. I used a round of wax paper to ensure the cake would release from the pan. It is a wonderfully moist cake, very easy and quick to put together.

'Beyond Outrage' Red Band Trailer: Drill, Baby, Drill
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on October 30, 2013 | Be the First To CommentFor those familiar with Takeshi Kitano's bloody, brutal Outrage, the notion of a sequel might be puzzling, as the original left only a few alive. But it turns out that not that many men are needed to cause chaos, as proven with the existence of the aptly-titled Beyond Outrage. Detective Kataoka has pulled the Sanno and Hannabishi crime families back into a sprawling gang war that results in utter mayhem. When Otomo (who survived the first movie, good for him!) wants out, the consequences are enormous and the violence is amplified; watch out for that pesky power drill as a negotiation tactic. Though it seems odd to say when power tool torture was just mentioned, the trailer is laced with black humor and has its (uncomfortable) laughs. Come on – a mobster being killed by a pitching machine after someone quips that they should get together and play baseball is pretty funny. So is the notion of a member refusing to smoke because he wants to live a long and illustrious life. Dude. Check out the bloody trailer here:
Fantastic Fest: 'Outrage Beyond' Rages Beyond 'Outrage'
Fantastic Fest By Brian Salisbury on September 30, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt's not entirely accurate to say that Takeshi Kitano's Outrage played Fantastic Fest in 2010. More apt would be to say that it carved a grisly gash into our brains as we squirmed and squealed with delight. The gangster cinema auteur from the land of the rising sun returns with both figurative and literal vengeance with Outrage Beyond. It's a safe assumption that the sequel cannot be evaluated without discussing the intimate details of the first film. Therefore for those unacquainted with Outrage, now would be a good time to go sharpen your katana, or sing karaoke. Not Journey, just saying. All clear? Ok. The corrupt police officer from Outrage, Kataoka, orchestrates a coup to try and unseat the two reigning Yakuza bosses-of-bosses. These were the two vile snakes who betrayed Otomo ("Beat" Takeshi Kitano) to his incarceration and ultimately, seemingly, his death. The coup goes south when a vital conspirator turns out to be less than trustworthy. Now, yet another struggle for power is brewing in the Japanese underworld. The situation getting desperate, only one man can possibly set all this nonsense right…but he died. Right?
This Week in Blu-ray: Drive, Transformers, Malcolm X, In Time, Outrage and The Thing (The Not So Good One)
Blu-ray Spotlight By Neil Miller on February 1, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThis Week in Blu-ray is back with another big week of releases. This is the time of year when a lot of great fall releases, Oscar contenders new and old, and even a few summer blockbusters going for the double-dip get their more impressive debuts on the mother of all HD formats. This week we get to explore my personal favorite film of 2011, as well as some fantastic re-releases of classic films like To Kill a Mockingbird and Malcolm X. There will also be a discussion of The Thing (2011), albeit a brief one. Drive In recent interviews, director Nicolas Winding Refn has promised fans that a fully loaded edition of Drive would eventually make its way to Blu-ray, with plenty of extras, interviews and other special features. While I, like you, find that to be a nice idea, it's also hard to overlook the urgency of getting 2011's best film into my collection as soon as possible. And much to my surprise, this Blu-ray release is solid. Ryan Gosling is still Driver, he's still driving fast and fighting for the girl, and he's still punching out Christina Hendricks and stomping dudes flat in elevators in between driving scenes backed by the pulsing score of Cliff Martinez. There's also some special treats. No, not a toothpick. Although I'd take it. This release comes complete with four featurettes, all worthy of your time, and a documentary-length interview with the film's director. It's an efficient package that, like the film to which it's […]
Action Fest 3views: 'Largo Winch,' 'The Wraith' and 'Outrage'
Action Fest By Luke Mullen on May 3, 2011 | Comments (2)For those of you who haven't heard, there's a new film festival on the scene and its name is Action Fest! Founded by three men including Chuck Norris' brother Aaron Norris, Action Fest is the self-proclaimed film festival with a body count. Magnolia exec Tom Quinn is also behind the scenes for the festival alongside Colin Geddes, the man responsible for the Toronto International Film Festival's venerable Midnight Madness slate. Action Fest is a whirlwind festival held over a weekend in early April in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. Movies are jam-packed back to back over Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was able to attend all day Friday and Saturday and saw 9 films in my short time there. I've done full reviews for Ironclad and A Lonely Place to Die which you can read here and here. For the rest of the films I saw I'll be breaking things up into two pieces with three mini-reviews each, one for each day. You can read the first installment here. Finally, I'll do a wrap-up piece summarizing the fest and what played and talking a little about the experience. Yes, for you math wizards that only adds up to 8 of the 9 films. I also saw Battle Royale which I'll discuss in my wrap-up. This is what I saw on Saturday.
Otomo is an interesting gentleman. Though a high-ranking member of a revered yakuza family, his faction often finds themselves cleaning up messes and taking on the assignments no one else wants. In many ways, they are the designated foot soldiers for every major yakuza clan in Japan. But when doubling-dealing and conniving at the highest echelon mark his own clan for death, Otomo gets a bit angry. Much like the celebrated Hulk of Marvel lore, you wouldn't like Otomo when he's angry…unless you happen to be sitting in the audience and not actually bearing his wrath.
First Fantastic Fest Films Promise Violent Tires and Fast Fists
Fantastic Fest By Scott Beggs on July 20, 2010 | Comments (1)Fans of Fantastic Fest (which should include all human beings and several species of extra-terrestrials) always look forward to the wanton violence and downright weird imagery on display during the festival. On the eve of Comic-Con, in a truly wise marketing move, the freaky folks at Fantastic Fest released their first fireball toward the castle of our minds. That fireball consists of 13 films that look like a collective 24 hours of awesome. Cannes favorite Rubber and martial arts follow-up Ip Man 2 are just the tip of the iceberg.
Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves fighting off rampaging arachnids with nothing more than a well placed verbal emphasis. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs. This week… a naked Morena Baccarin! And more!
Kirby Dick's 'Outrage,' a documentary that outs closeted politicians, has been one of the hot titles at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Cinema Sleuth: Fox and the Case of the Outraged Fans
Features By Scott Beggs on January 22, 2009 | Comments (28)A lot of movie fans hate Fox. There's no question of that. We even know why. Now the question is whether or not that hatred is justified. Cinema Sleuth is on the case!

We loved Wild Flower last spring! We were very disappointed this fall when we found they were gone. The new place is ok, but almost no selection & very high prices considering it was off season. :(

BROWN Bear Baking is the name of the new (well, now two months old) bakery in Eastsound. I called in this morning, our first day on the island, and had a fantastically warm and helpful welcome. The pastries are delicious. We shall call in every day!
We miss their absolutely wonderful scones, bread pudding, muffins, cookies; We stopped there nearly every day for our two week stay. We wish we could buy their food in Santa Barbara. [Other than Renaud's for croissants, etc. no SB bakery is as good.]
Thank You Eastsound, and all visitors to the Wildflour Bakery... after two great years(20 months) we have sold our business to return home to Montana... Check us out on Facebook to find our latest location, coming summer 2013.
It didn't have anything fancy , just fresh good treats . The girl there was very nice and helpful and there was a pretty large selection there to choose from .
It has been over 6 months since our vacation on Orca's Island and I'm still daydreaming about the pastries there. My kids compare muffins and treats they get here in Chicago to this bakery "It's good, but not as good as Wild Flower!" We were on the island for a week and enjoyed our morning walks to this bakery before... More
Since we are staying in the area for 11 days we didn't mind that the owners closed the store one day since their kids were sick. Family should be #1 over work. We were able to stop in on an early afternoon and there were plenty of bakery items for sale. We bought bear claws with almond paste and chocolate... More
Got there and it was closed with a note on the door saying they would be back in a few minutes. We came back later and I tired to buy a cinnamon roll, except they only take cash, luckly the person I was with had cash so be bought it for me. Worst cinnamon roll I ever had, it was... More
We walked here for breakfast, but had a difficult time finding anything other than sugary donuts. I had a delicious muffin, and the coffee was top-notch. I am sure that the donuts were also fantastic. This is not a cute little bakery with a display case full of delicious, healthy options.
great family run bakery with delicious baked goods at really great prices cakes bread cookies whatever you fancy they have and are very yummy

Next morning they, per Randal, meet up "at a little café in New York" and have a lovely preparatory talk about their experiences and their parting thoughts before the last Boardroom. They grin at each other after every fake code word, like how they keep calling it a "thirteen-week process" and all that fake reality-TV conceit stuff, and it's cute. Randal asks the difference between Rebecca then and Rebecca now, and (still with the fried brain) she immediately calls upon the power of the ankle. But her reasoning is cool: that something "so in your face" and out of her control really could have killed her, but that she learned she can face that stuff. Valid. Randal sees her ankle and, like every week, raises her a dead grandmother, and Rebecca praises him on how, going through that, he carried himself "with so much dignity and integrity" throughout the thing, and says she respects that very much. Somehow they've managed to take the worn-out ankle and grandmother stories and conspire to make them real again, and I'm impressed and have a lot of respect for them about that stuff, all of a sudden. You know how you hear one awful thing and you know it's bad and you feel bad for the person, but then you hear it ten times and you start thinking up horrible jokes about it? They've effectively reversed that process. Especially impressive when it's the ankle. They toast each other, themselves, these laughing, these radiant people, these beautiful, successful, strong people, this Final Two out of millions, over a balcony breakfast in a magical New York morning, sun coming out, they toast. To victory.
…Nope. Somewhere Old Yeller's fixin' to foam all on the mouth. The guys are packing up their stuff for the last Boardroom, and Randal interviews (cross-apply with the whole "this is all for Trump's benefit" deal above) that this is "the last opportunity to show that I am the next Apprentice." Rebecca interviews (cross-apply to Rebecca's love affair with her own intensity and how her name is a killing word) that she comes with hands empty but for the "characteristics" that have "driven" her to this point: "Drive. Passion. Intelligence." ("Lamborghini, motherfucker!") And but also "the attitude that nothing is out of my bounds." Randal feels he has "more experience" and brings "more to the table," while Rebecca claims "broader business experience than anybody -- including Randal." Randal mentions his 3-0 record and the respect of everyone in the suite, and the fact that every draft involved stealing him away. Rebecca notes that this will be the "toughest Boardroom of all the Boardrooms ever," and the music threatens cataclysm. They respectively glide and hobble out and down to the Boardroom, where Robin tells them to sit down on the couch and wait for a long, long time. Randal looks fantastic, by the way -- this red satin pocket square matching his tie, and a pinstripe suit.

Industry mourns Florida marine author
Posted onCapt. Bob Armstrong, an industry stalwart who turned his passion for boating into a diverse career, died Nov. 3 at the age of 75 at his Miami home.
The Maine native, who was an avid sailor and angler as a boy, followed a career trajectory that included running a summer resort hotel, TV production, private yacht and charter boat captain, marine surveyor and marine author.
Non-fiction books he wrote included "Getting Started in Powerboating" and "Your First Powerboat," and his articles have appeared in national and regional boating magazines, including the annual "Florida Cruising Directory," which he served as editor for more than 15 years.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The design of this card is stunning. Everyone commented on the unique edges of the photograph. We had a custom colour for the text (majestic) and it is very sophisticated (it is a tad darker than it appears online but I really like it a little darker). The quality of the printing is quite good also. We had them shipped to Canada and it took no time at all - it was much faster than the anticipated date."
"My cards came very fast! I was so suprised at how professional their delivery was. It came in a big box all my cards were perfect and that goes for My envelopes too. Everyone that had received them has called me saying how much they loved our save the dates and raved about the quality of the card. We are deffinetly using wedding paper divas for programs and our invitations!"
"- Super prompt designer review - The cards came a week earlier than expected which was great - Loved the personal message on the back - Super easy to mail and unique"
"I picked this because it was simple and rustic and overall just perfect for us. I was happy with being able to customize the colors and add more text that is shown and customizable on the website itself for no additional charge - just leave a note for the designer! I was also impressed with the turnaround time with my customization - the first proof and additional proof I needed were both completed within the next day. The 2nd or 3rd day it shipped and I received it 2 days later. Amazing service all around, and super fast processing and handling. Definitely love this site and could not have asked for anything better."
"This save the date was perfect for us. We started by choosing our favorite suite for invitations, but realized we didn't have any engagement photos for our save the dates - no worries!!! Although you have to order first and then request customization, Wedding Paper Divas did an excellent job altering the save the date to exclude a portrait. It was simple and elegant, preserving the original text and design. To save cost, we also went with the basic paper choice. The paper quality and weight are both sufficient. The design is very pretty. Simple and tasteful. We are very pleased with our purchase."
