Day 6 – Korea Day with Spanish subtitles.
Style-conscious Hong Kong director Oxide Pang (The Eye) is an odd choice for directing the adaptation of "The Tesseract," the character-driven second novel of Brit writer Alex Garland (The Beach). At first it seems indeed that the shoe won't fit: Fast cuts without rhyme and reason, random switching between b/w and color, and even – oh, please! – bullets flying in slow motion, leaving trails in the air. But surprisingly, the film quickly changes from a stale action video clip to an engaging drama without losing its polished look. The multi-layered story revolves around four characters in a run-down Bangkok hotel: A British psychologist researching a project on kids in the city and dealing with the death of her own son, a killer dying from a shot wound in her room, a con-man messing up a drug deal with a bunch of angry mobsters, and an underage thief whose actions will bring the storylines together and lead them to a fateful conclusion. Pang uses a slightly different visual style for each of the characters which seems random and artsy at first, but makes more sense as the film proceeds. The plot is full of surprises, the acting top-notch, and there is never a dull moment. Even the slow motion bullets are forgiven.
Today was declared Korea Day by the festival, with guests from Korean cinema as well as politics, and snacks. I will honor this day by watching two South Korean films, the horror thriller "Into the Mirror" and the docudrama "Memories of Murder." The only real shortcoming of "Into the Mirror" is that it never quite lives up to its brilliant opening scene which is not only extremely creepy but also offers the most aesthetic use of screen blood since the hey-day of Dario Argento. The story begins with a series of apparent suicides in a posh department store that is about to re-open after a devastating fire. The police and store security are worried. And they are right to worry, as the killings are not suicides but murders committed by the mirror reflections of the victims. The film makes surprisingly clever use of the old horror staple of scary things happening in or coming out of mirrors. The story's internal logic is consequently followed through and results in an unexpected and unique ending. The two hours running time is not completely free of unnecessary and repetitive scenes, but still "Into the Mirror" remains a solid horror yarn that might not sign up for festival favorite, but will be remembered fondly. Please keep this film away from DreamWorks executives.
My knowledge of Spanish has somewhat improved over the last couple of days, mainly by me forcing myself to read the daily festival newspaper and watching old episodes of "The Simpsons" in my hotel room. So I was able to guess my way pretty good through the first half of "Memories of Murder" which was shown in Korean with Spanish subtitles only. But what happened later, I have no clue. The fact-based film is about a serial murder investigation by two cops in the South Korean countryside. From all I know these cops are real assholes, torturing innocents, manufacturing fake evidence, getting in fights a lot, and not catching the killer. There is also the backdrop of the political tensions between the Koreas and how it affects the characters and the investigation. I caught myself thinking: "It's… 'L.A. Confidential' in South Korea!" But I might be wrong. People liked this film. It did win awards at other festivals and was a smash hit in its native. One day I would like to see it in a language I understand.
Day 7 – Hooray, a remake!
Nobody is more surprised than I that I'm not one of the many worshippers of hard-working Japanese director Takashi Miike. Though interested in Japan in general and Japanese films in particular, I never warmed up to the one-man movie machine, churning out multiple movies each year. "Gozu" and "Graveyard of Honor," two of his more recent works shown in Sitges, will not change that. "Gozu" starts off promising enough, though. A young yakuza is searching for his wounded, probably dead brother in a rural village near Nagayo, putting up with eccentric characters and situations galore. It's like Jim Jarmush handling Tarantino material, very laconic with very little hot-blooded gangster antics. But the second half falters into weirdness for weirdness' sake and unfunny silliness, cumulating in an ending that is blatantly stolen from Lars von Trier's "The Kingdom."
"Graveyard of Honor" is clearly the better film. The remake of Kinji Fukasaku's 1971 original is about a young yakuza (again) rising quickly in rank when he saves the life of the godfather. When he accidentally shoots the wrong man, he has to go into hiding. The film doesn't glorify the whole gangster crap too much, is aptly unpleasant to watch and shot in an almost minimalist style. Still it leaves little lasting impression. We have seen films like this before. Some of them are by Martin Scorcese and much better.
A real bad movie can be a real bonding experience. The ending of Hong Kong horror film "The Park" had the entire audience roaring with laughter and loudly ridiculing the events on the screen. The film about ghosts killing people in a closed-down amusement park borrows heavily and badly from "Ju-on: The Grudge," "The Blair Witch Project," "Poltergeist," "The Evil Dead," "Funhouse" and every horny-teens-get-killed flick in the book. Add impossibly bad acting, dumb dialogue, tacky 3D effects seen through red/blue glasses and probably the most unintentionally funny finale ever committed to celluloid, and you have the so far worst horror film in this year's festival. Possibly one of the worst in the history of Sitges.
Damn, sometimes this Hollywood fluff gets the better of you. For a while I did quite good hating Richard Donner's "Timeline." Slow beginning, obnoxious characters, Paul Walker – the works. And suddenly I realized: I'm enjoying this. Not the hating, but the actual movie. It's a silly story about archeologists traveling through a wormhole to the site of a historic battle between the French and the English in the 14th century to rescue their time-traveling boss. I don't buy any of this time-travel/wormhole nonsense for one minute (let alone 140 minutes), but it's a good adventure story with a great final battle. There is nothing fresh about this film, you see the not-so-surprising surprise twists coming from miles away, and still I even enjoyed the sentimental ending where everybody is happy, even those who died centuries ago.
Admittedly I only went to see "Timeline" to pass the time until "Twentynine Palms." And I only wanted to see "Twentynine Palms" to confirm my hunch that it's a load of pretentious bullshit. Luckily I was right this time. The film by Bruno Dumont, grandmaster of pretentious bullshit, is about a couple driving through California without anything out of the ordinary happening. They drive, they stop for sightseeing and peeing, they swim, they quarrel, they have sex, they watch TV, they order Chinese. And sometimes they do nothing at all. That is when the camera lingers on them extra-long. I'm sure that something out of the ordinary will happen eventually, though, as the press kit urges you to not give away the ending. I would happily give it away here without any spoiler warning, but watching this film to the end is quite a feat. A feat that takes a stronger man than me. My guess, however, is that the surprise ending has something to do with Sudden Outbursts Of Violence™. These films are all the same.

Poetry Makes Better Business Leaders Poetry is a sharp tool for business leadership development, according to a recent article, The Benefits of Poetry for Professionals, on the Harvard Business Review blog (http://blogs.hbr.org). Reading or writing verse, the article explains, not only develops empathy and increases sociability, but also helps leaders navigate and simplify complexity. Poets are system thinkers—at least in the words of the founder of the audio giant Harman Industries—and the article points to several of them who have excelled in business. Dana Gioia, poet and former head of the National Endowment for the Arts, for example, was a General Foods executive. He says that poetry fosters creativity, thereby facilitating entrepreneurial and imaginative methods and solutions. To learn more visit http://bit.ly/WpUtSW.

Ten Best Coffee Shops in Broward and Palm Beach Counties
8. 11th Street Annex Fort LauderdaleDeirdra Funcheon The 11th Street Annex in Fort Lauderdale.
Where there's tea, there's coffee. When sisters Penny Sanfilippo and Jonny Altobell opened 11th Street Annex in Fort Lauderdale a little more than ten years ago, they wanted a tea house and coffee shop that served everything up right -- no imitations or cutting corners. That means everything from the food to the drink is made fresh and done right. They only serve classic English scones, and butter is imported from Europe, while jams are all-fruit fresh, and the lemon curd and clotted cream are made in-house. Yes, tea is a focus here -- "high" and "low" tea times are served daily -- and the Darjeeling, Oolong, and green teas are all brewed with fresh tea leaves and steeped before being served with proper cups and saucers. But the same goes for the coffee, brewed and ground in-house and made using the finest coffee beans. The variety rotates often, just like the food, which changes daily, offering about six fresh, gourmet choices like quiches or homemade pot pies. One option is always vegetarian (vegan on Wednesdays), and herbs are often plucked from the garden out back.
7. The Coffee District Brad Randolph The Coffee District transforms from regular coffee shop by day to craft-beer bar at night.
Coffee District has the neighborhood Starbucks by the tea bags, and that it's located in the Pineapple Grove district of downtown Delray Beach only adds to its hip, unique coffeehouse/beer-bar cool. The 1,600-square-foot shop offers bar and table seating where you can order a variety of hot and cold coffee, espresso, and tea drinks. If you're hungry, there's also a menu of made-to-order paninis, fresh salads, soups, pastries, and gourmet desserts. What makes this place extra-special: There are also about 140 microbrew bottled beers and 16 specialty craft-beer taps, which means you can start here with a cup of coffee and end your day with a glass of coffee porter.

NAC1 is a novel member of the POZ/BTB (Pox virus and Zinc finger/Bric-a-bracTramtrack Broad complex) but varies from other proteins of this class in that it lacks the characteristic DNA-binding motif, suggesting a novel role. We have employed constitutive gene deletion to elucidate the role of NAC1 in vivo. Nac1 mutant mice are viable with no obvious developmental or physiological impairments. Previous studies suggest a role for NAC1 in cocaine-mediated behaviors. Therefore, we evaluated a variety of behaviors associated with psychomotor stimulant effects in Nac1 mutant mice. Acute locomotor activating effects of cocaine or amphetamine are absent in Nac1 mutant mice, however longer exposure to these psychomotor stimulants result in the development of behavioral sensitization. Acute rewarding properties of cocaine and amphetamine are also blunted in mutant mice, yet repeated exposure resulted in conditioned place preference similar to that observed in wild-type mice. Lastly, increases in extracellular dopamine in the nucleus accumbens, which accompany acute cocaine administration, are blunted in mutant mice, but following chronic cocaine extracellular dopamine levels are increased to the same extent as in wild-type mice. Together these data indicate involvement of NAC1 in the acute behavioral and neurochemical responses to psychomotor stimulants.

Joyfull Adventures - the name says it all. I will provide you with a trip customized to your expectations. The boat is warm and cozy even in the winter months.
You may want to cruise locally in Lake Union or go through Portage Bay into Lake Washington. You'll see the University of Washington and many of the houseboats that were made popular in the movie 'Sleepless in Seattle'.
The views of Mt. Rainier to the south or Mt. Baker to the north are spectacular. If ocean cruising is your passion, we can pass through the Ballard Locks, an adventure in itself, out into the Puget Sound. From there we can cruise south and explore Seattle's waterfront or travel to one of the nearby islands. If you want to cruise up to the San Juan Islands this can be booked and would need to be a 1-2 week trip. As there are many variables some pricing will need to be discussed when you call. I do liveaboard so am present, very informative and will be the captain on boat outings. I have one friendly cat, Bunny. If you are looking for that romantic getaway, you will be completely pleased with staying onboard for your Joyfull Adventure. I am within walking distance to the Space Needle and downtown Seattle. There are wonderful restaurant's very close by the boat and we can also take the boat out to a restaurant. If you want to eat in, the kitchen is fully stocked and don't forget the BBQ to cook up fabulous steaks or seafood of choice.
Keywords: Boat, liveaboard, fabulous views of Seattle and the space needle. It is NOT cold on this boat in the winter. It is warm and cozy.
Captain Joy Nelson will lead your Joyfull Adventure and she has a wide range of experiences to safely pilot and navigate you on your trip. You are in the hands of a professional who has a master license for vessels up to 100 tons.
As a registered nurse, Captain Nelson can handle medical emergencies if they occur. Captain Nelson is also a licensed commercial airline pilot and is a certified PADI scuba diver. Those who are scuba certified will appreciate Captain Nelson's underwater tours of Puget Sound and the San Juan island dive sites. Captain Nelson is also a licensed Ordain Minister.
Captain Nelson is known as a gracious host and gourmet cook. Your comfort on board is of prime importance. Captain Nelson has high energy and an infectious laugh. When you're on board with her, you'll feel right at home.
Joy to the World, we had so much fun!! We toured the Christmas lights, we drank the yule tide log and listened to carolers sing and sing. Thank you so much for having us on your beautiful boat and home. It was so much fun!!We've never experienced Christmas on the water before and it was such a treat to se the lights from this vantage point. I'm sure the kids will remember this for years to come!
"I bought this unique stable vessel to meet and share with others. It is a great way and super relaxing way to get out on the water. Seattle is such a beautiful city to live in let alone on a boat with the views of the downtown and the space needle."

"One of the unique benefits is the fabulous views of the downtown day or at night. When the sun sets on the buildings of the downtown or capital hill the windows light up and glow shades of yellows and reds. It is awesome to enjoy the hot tub day or night and than jumping from the boat or going down the slide right at the dock. Come on in, the water is great. I am super close to entertainment, the city, on the bus line and an abundance of places to eat out at."

April 27th, 2013 at 4:20 am
The character interactions are the bread & meat of this show.They've just been hilarious & highly enjoyable to watch so far and this ep's shown us that they can take a more serious aproach withouth being too generic or melodramatic,revert to their comedic nature,pick up the serious tone again and be quite fluid while doing so.Some good execution right there.
As long as the anime won't forget to keep this quality in interactions I'm sure it'll continue to deliver,even if the plot will end up somewhat generic.
April 28th, 2013 at 9:25 am
i love this anime. thanks!

Raz B has written a book and in his book he is exposing a bunch of folks. This is what Raz B writes in his new book about Chris Brown:
"They say you never know who knows who. Chris Brown didn't think about that when he attacked me online. I have a friend that's very close to Chris' camp who told me that Chris was involved with an up and coming songwriter Andre Merritt. So when Chris started going in calling people 'gay' and 'fags' I just dropped Andre Merritt's name. I knew it was true when he decided to shut up."

TNT Invades Comic-Con with Legends, The Last Ship and Falling Skies
Legends at Center of First-Ever Branded Takeover of San Diego Airport
TNT is bringing its eagerly anticipated drama Legends to Comic-Con International: San Diego 2014 with multiple events and initiatives, including the first-ever branded takeover of San Diego International Airport. The gripping undercover drama starring Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings) is the centerpiece of TNT's extensive presence at this year's Comic-Con, which takes place July 24-27 at the San Diego Convention Center.
This year's Comic-Con will also feature events spotlighting TNT's top-rated new series The Last Ship, including a party with CraveOnline aboard the USS Midway, and Falling Skies, with a special alien cocoon experience highlighting a key element in the show's fourth season. In addition, stars and producers from all three shows are set to participate in discussion panels and Q&A sessions.
Below is a complete rundown of TNT's initiatives for Comic-Con International: San Diego 2014.
TNT's Comic-Con invasion will begin with the Legends takeover of San Diego International Airport, marking the first time a brand has ever taken over the airport. Travelers flying into San Diego the week of July 21 will be greeted with Legends imagery and messaging throughout the airport, including at baggage claim carousels and on escalators and skyway bridges. TheLegends messaging will also extend to other parts of San Diego, with eye-catching billboards in the Gaslamp Quarter.
During Comic-Con, TNT is set to feature a Legends panel with cast members Ali Larter (Heroes), Morris Chestnut (American Horror Story, Nurse Jackie) and Tina Majorino (Grey's Anatomy, True Blood), and executive producers Howard Gordon (Homeland, 24) and David Wilcox (Fringe). The session will open with a screening of the entire first episode of the series. Following the screening and panel, Legends cast members are set to participate in an autograph-signing session.
TNT is also set to launch a social media initiative supporting Legends in conjunction with its Comic-Con presence. The network is encouraging fans of actor Sean Bean to use the hashtag#DontKillSeanBean in social media postings about the show. The hashtag plays on the fact that Bean has died in more than 20 acting roles, including the two characters for which he is widely known: Boromir in The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Eddard "Ned" Stark in the series Game of Thrones. The hashtag will have its own tumblr page and will be featured on Legends premium items being handed out to Comic-Con attendees.

Jul 18th 2010 6:50PM I don't run normal PuGs anymore because of this. Plus I want to get something for my time investments gearing others. Try to do GDKP runs, it really solves all the problems you mentioned. If they leave early, they potentially loose a couple of thousands of golds. It is easier to find replacements. If you did not won the thing you need you will have more money for the next run, so better chances.
Guest Post: Vetting puggers -- beyond GearScore and achievements {WoW}
Jul 18th 2010 6:43PM I would love to be able to raid as frost, but it's not viable currently so I don't. Actually it is the worst dps spec in the game. So if you want to raid as frost this can mean two things:
1. You are a noob, and don't know much about your class.
2. You deliberately choose to do less dps than your class is capable of.
Neither is acceptable for any serious/progression raid (ICC/RS). You can be fine with things like VoA or Weekly raids (Nax, Ulduar, etc), where an average group can carry a couple of people.

Arcane Brilliance: The services we provide {WoW}
Jun 27th 2010 3:43AM We have one more utility spell which is completely missing: Spellsteal
If you remember the other day about various dispell mechanics for healers in Cataclysm. Spellsteal is an offensive magic dispell. So all healers will have 3 of the 5 varoius dispell mechanics. Mages currently have and most probably will have in cataclysm 2. We can dispell curses and remove beneficial magic effects from enemies.
Now that I think about it Counterspell is also missing, a lot of raid encounters depends on interrupting the boss, and mages can help whit it.

Arcane Brilliance: Ruby Sanctum preview - mage edition {WoW}
Jun 20th 2010 3:28AM The belt is only marginally better than Belt of Omission (http://www.wowhead.com/item=50996), for fire mages, because it has lower hit, and have a bit higher SP with proper gemming. That belt can be bought with Emblem of Frost. And if you like me and raiding ICC for a time now, you should have tons of Emblems by now. Last I checked I had 150, and nothing I can buy with it. Maybe Primordial Saronite for my alts...
Know Your Lore: Current Alliance politics -- the Draenei, page 2 {WoW}
Jun 6th 2010 8:15AM Well the problem with Darenei is that they are from an other planet. They have a lot of interests in Outland as it was their homeland for a considerable time, but now in Azeroth there are a lot of problems which doesn't concern them. Arthas, Lich King, Scourge is from Azeroth, all the Alliance races hate them, the Darenei never really met the guy before. The whole Titan business really interesting to the Dwarfs, Humans, Gnomes, but not really for the Darenei. Hopefully with Deathwing and elemental panes in Cataclysm Darenei shamans have a bigger roles to play. They can even make closer friendship with the Dwarfs, who will be able to become shamans.

I still use that on my mage, and currently doing ICC10 Heroic modes. I could not seem to find any decent updates for it. I know they exsists but never dropped for me.
If you playing fire consider buying the other frost emblem belt which is quite nice (http://www.wowhead.com/item=50996). As I see the gearing advice was focusing on Arcane. For example Sundial of the Exiled, doesn't look that bad from fire mage perspective.

May 18th 2010 10:05AM They cannot do anything about BG queue time, if you have long BG queues at level 80 that means your faction outnumber the other faction in the Battlegroup. For example I got nearly instant queues as Alliance, and I hear that Horde has to wait something like 10 min in the same battlegroup. While on my server the Alliance outnumber Horde, it not that bad, as Horde can still win in WG, and sometimes even defend it.
