The best hostels in Singapore's Chinatown
A handy list to start with.
What we say:
When backpackers come to Singapore they typically make their home at one of the hostels in Bugis or Little India. While it's true that these neighbourhoods have a lot to offer budget travellers, don't forget about Chinatown. Singapore's Chinatown offers a central location, amazing food, tons of culture, vibrant street markets, and top-notch hostels.
Comfortable, cute and convenient to the MRT, A Beary Good Hostel is pretty close to hostel perfection. A traditional Chinese shophouse has been converted into air-con dorm rooms (mixed or women-only), squeaky clean bathrooms, kitchenette, and a lounge fully outfitted with a TV, video games and guest computers. Plus the staff might just be the nicest people you'll meet in Singapore. A hostel this fabulous is no secret, so if they're full try the second branch – A Beary Nice Hostel. Rates start from S$26/night including breakfast, hot drinks, WiFi, and a big locker.
Pillows & Toast is another traditional Chinatown building converted to a super-stylish, super-clean hostel. You'll sleep well in their dorms (mixed or women-only) with thick mattresses and duvets, plus they've got one of the most modern common areas I've seen: an attic lounge with TV, netbooks and even a massage chair. If you're worried about melting in Singapore's stifling heat, you'll be relieved to hear Pillows & Toast is one of the only Singapore hostels without an "air-con curfew" – set the temperature as low as you like any time of the day. Rates start from S$26/night including breakfast.
Lower on amenities but also on price is Service World Hostel. This small hostel is located in a public housing block that practically overlooks the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and is as close as it gets to experiencing Singapore as a local. For S$22 per night you get a bunk in the cramped but clean dorm room, wireless internet, and continental breakfast. The warm welcome and great advice from the hostel staff about where to eat are free. The second location – Service World Chin Swee – lacks the charm of the original.
For flashpackers, the brand new Wink Hostel has turned the usual bunkbeds into 'pods' with greater privacy. More than just a place to sleep, each pod has a lamp, electrical outlet, and enough space so you can stretch out and update your Facebook status. Wink's facilities include an entertainment lounge with a huge TV, guest library, kitchenette, squeaky clean bathrooms with rain showers, and self-serve laundry. Prices are S$50 for a single pod or S$90 for a double pod that's perfect for travelling couples.

After winning the NCAA Championship, Kentucky's starting lineup consisting of three freshman and two sophomores will enter next season's NBA draft.
Freshman Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and Marquis Teague, along with sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb made it official Tuesday night after declaring for the draft in a nationally televised news conference.
With different futures awaiting each member of the close-knit group, it seemed fitting that they come together one last time to announce they would be taking the final step towards entering the NBA.
According to the official site of the Kentucky Wildcats, "For a brief moment, the plot appeared to be in danger. With the press conference announced for 2 p.m. on Tuesday, it became clear one of the five would be unable to attend due to a snag in travel arrangements. Even so, they weren't about to be deterred. Schedules were rearranged and the event pushed back a few hours."
Coach John Calipari was unaware of the plan to hold a joint announcement. "I didn't even know they wanted to do it together," Calipari said. "We say all the time, 'Be the teammate you want to play with.' This team has done that by showing up what they're doing today. They taught us a lot."
The starting five join seniors Darius Miller, who is also projected to be drafted, and Eloy Vargas in their departure from the program. This means only freshman Kyle Wiltjer remains from the championship-winning rotation with a new class of highly publicized recruits joining Calipari next season. Calipari said that this was the first time he ever watched the last game of a season.
ESPN.com reported that Kidd-Gilchrist appeared emotional for a few moments at the podium. He said later that his mother, Cindy Richardson, wanted him to return to the University of Kentucky because he was one of the youngest players in Division I having turned 18 in September. Contrary to her wishes, he has other plans in store for her.
"I want to spoil my mom. I think I'm going to spoil my mom to death. That's one thing I'm looking forward to," said Kidd-Gilchrist, who plans on buying her a watch right off the bat. "I'm ready, I think. I'm ready for anything that comes my way now."
Teague seemed to be the only player who might be a questionable first-round pick in comparison to Kentucky's 2010 draft class that had five players go in the first round, which included the first overall pick in John Wall. Teague said he felt like he did enough to be drafted in the first round by leading a "great team that's kind of like an NBA team" to a national championship.
Lamb said he had one primary goal after he and Jones were both projected first-round picks last season. "The reason I stayed was to win a national championship. Me and Terrence, we talked together last year and we decided to come back this year to win a national championship and we did that. Our dreams came true," said Lamb.
The Tennessean said, "The team is in the hunt for a few of the remaining top prospects who have until May 16 to make their final decisions. All of Kentucky's new players will be thrust into major roles because with the departures, the Wildcats will lose 93.3 percent of their points, 94.5 percent of their individual rebounds and 96.2 percent of their assists."
In the meantime, the starting five that led Kentucky to its eighth national championship will be looking forward to testing their skills at the professional level along with a newfound lifestyle. This is something Davis couldn't help laughing about when he was reminded of his upcoming payday.
"I actually haven't thought about that yet. That's right, I am going to be rich," Davis said. "You've just got to manage your money well. Good thing is I like math. So I should be fine."

Gear Review
Custom service
I have a few Nixon watches. I will never buy one again. My strap broke, (no big deal, Im tough on stuff). Nixon would not send me another, ok, I had to send my watch back to nixon for them to replace the strap. They would not give me a process order until I paid for the "repair". Ok, they charged my card for the repair, emailed me the process order number for my watch, I packed it up and mailed it.
They recieved the watch, and for a month now (only with me following up with multiple emails and calls) they tell me that my watch is "in line for repair". I was told 7-10 days max for the repair. As of this date, They still say my watch is in line for repair, they will not even tell me when they think that the watch will be repaired, much less back to me.
If you are thinking about buying one, just know that you will recieve the worst (if any) customer service. I honestly don't know how they are still in buisness.

I will say that if they get a routine going of pitchpoling these things in most races, viewership will return. People like a good wreck. Almost as good, crew being blown or thrown off the boat and recovered by chase boats. It's like a skier wiping out and still getting up.
However, these are not what the AC is about. It will be interesting to see if they even care about viewership. The wealthy competitors don't, IMHO. Never did. Its more personal.
According to the AC site, the 72's will be used for the Louis Vuitton Cup, 04 July – 1 September 2013 and America's Cup Match (Finals): 7-22 September 2013. Both in SF
I can assure you they are training to AVOID pitch poling. If you've seen the video of Coutts falling through the wing of a 45 in SF, you know it's no joke. He gave up the helm position shortly thereafter. Coincidence?
Obviously, pitchpoling a 72 could be catastrophic. A fall from the upended hull alone could be over 5 stories (IF the sailor is lucky enough to hit the water)!

"We have a lot of people like that on our campus, all hippies and things, that go around preaching against corporations, jocks, preps, accountants, and anyone else that feels the need to shower more than occasionally." - Shankerr
"Damn man why are some women just so demonic and evil.. its like you wanna get a stake and mallet and an erection at the same time." - WBBIRL
So a guy comes on and asks a question for his girlfriend, and people here question his squat, tell us milk is bad because teh internets says so, and then you decide he's lying about his girlfriends bra size?
Cra-Z, I apologize.
Your girlfriend would be well served joining our community, even if this thread doesn't demonstrate it.
I think she'd be well served getting into resistance training, but as someone mentioned above, even a little muscle on someone who is doing mainstream modelling can be a bad thing. That's why you'll find many people here who don't at all like the mainstream model look.

Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei
"You're wrong, and I have a completely irrelevant pubmed abstract that may or may not say so." - Belial
I has a blog.
I has a facebook.
milk is awesome, and there's good reason for it to be good for growing bodies - it's produced (cow milk) to insure a healthy growth of an animal that will grow to be over 1,000 lbs. it's like superjuice for us measly humans...Originally Posted by Progenerate
^no, build didn't. look at her cutting plan, she lifted heavy and ate lots of fats.
LOL, reread the post. It doest sound at all like im accusing him of lying about her bra size, only that it was possibly incorrect as most women are since they arent properly fitted. When people lie about their lifts they are often called out on it, why you chose to apolagize to this person specifically and not the countless others that this happens to here is beyond me.Originally Posted by Paul Stagg

In Reply to: As usual Toni you see what you want to see. I named both by Ziks511
gives F-15s and Abram tanks and cash to Egypt with a leader who hates Israel and the head of the Muslim Brotherhood?
I assume you weren't here during Carter's insane Kensian policies that are a close second to BO's? Interesting that you would say this though and make it appear that only the right is to blame........>>>You should all emulate the slimy creatures who slither around the laws or repeal them (like Glass Steagle under Bill Clinton) or simply spend the country into a crisis so deep that previously enacted legislation becomes unaffordable.>>> You don't believe that spending the country into a crisis so deep that previously enacted legislation becomes unaffordable is exactly what BO is and has been doing since day one? I gave you and Diana plenty of examples of his spending and although two wars will be done and no spending needs to be done for them anymore, he has no interest in leaving that unfunded money alone and instead plans to borrow the same amounts, driving up the national debt even more, in order to 'invest' in more crap that doesn't work. When will you finally admit that?
And I didn't say you weren't bemoaning BOTH parties......I'm saying that your TITLE for your post specifically targeted the 'elite' Right, so it was misleading in the same way you accuse James and me of doing with OUR titles...........

Why Baggus are so great? You want to replace your old friends--the paper & plastic bags--with something that does their job without creating needless waste or harming the environment. Using one Baggu for one year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags.
One Baggu holds the contents of 2 to 3 plastic grocery bags; Six bags can hold a whole cart full of groceries.
Baggu Bag handles are the perfect length: you can hold them in your hand, on your forearm, or over your shoulder.
They are made from strong rip-stop nylon weighing only 2 oz. and can carry up to 25 lbs. They fold into a flat 5 by 5 inch pouch that easily slips in a purse or pocket; that way they are always handy when you need them.
Baggu bags have a nice big gusset in the bottom so they will sit flat when they are filled (good for eggs & milk).
Smart Design
Baggu was designed by mother-daughter team Joan and Emily in California. They both saw the need for a better reusable bag, and after dozens of prototypes, came up with a solution that makes using reusable bags stylish, practical and easy.
Made of lightweight, hard working fabrics that will perform for years of service in all of your daily toting tasks: groceries, pharmacy purchases, gifts, and books, and pet food, and clothes and anything else you can think of--all the things you find yourself accepting a disposable bag to bring home.
Changing your own shopping habits is one small thing you can do to make a difference--feel good every time you use your BAGGU!
Plastic Bags & the Planet
The average family brings home 1,000 bags every year. Most of those bags end up in land fills. That really adds up - 100 billion plastic bags are sent to landfill in the US each year.
In landfills, it can take up to 1000 years for a bag to decompose. Plastics don't biodegrade, they photo-degrade, breaking down into tiny toxic pieces that contaminate soil and water or harm wildlife.
Every time you use your Baggu bag instead of plastic or paper you are doing something good.

Welcome to our island. We are extremely proud of our art, culture, religion and lifestyle-so much so that we want to share the best of the best to enhance your stay.
The Resort Concierge provides information about the Resort, our facilites or any of the recreational activities available, at the Resort. Alternatively, the Resort Concierge provides a wealth of information regarding the island of Bali as well as its cultural, spiritual and artistic heritage. The Resort Concierge will be delighted to suggest things to see and do to enrich your overall holiday experience. For further information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
When you first wake up, the beauty of this legendary island seems so stunning that you may be convinced you are dreaming. Rub your eyes, sprinkle drops of cool water on your face and you will be delighted to find that your eyes have not deceived you. After a breakfast of the freshest and sweetest tropical fruit, I can recommend a short journey that few try but those who do never forget. Bali's sunsets bathe the sky in a dazzling array of colour, but its sunrises are equally spectacular. To appreciate it fully, you can make the short trip to a local Hindu temple, where you will likely find yourself alone on hallowed ground, to watch the light trickle over the Balinese landscape.
With the tropical climate and fertile, volcanic soil, Bali is just made to grow orchids, which makes the Bali Orchid Garden idyllic for an afternoon walk. The rows of beautiful flowers seem so perfect, it's almost like mother nature is just showing off. To compete with her, the evidence of man's endeavour lies in the natural valley which holds one of Bali's oldest and grandest monuments, the Gunung Kawi. This is a set of memorials cut out of the rock face, each one of which commemorates a member of the 11th century Balinese royal family. Myth surrounds this place and guests tell me that they often leave this place with a sense of awe and lingering mystery.
In the evening, whilst you are eating exquisite food at the hotel, you can enjoy a show of Balinese dancing. So much tradition and meaning is imbued in Balinese dance, many see it as the essence of the culture itself; a pure form of expression that transcends language and touches something spiritual within us all. The movement and nuance is staggering and to feel awe for this art form is as natural as it is for any other of Bali's natural treasures. I hope I have shown you that Bali is an island of wonder unlike any other, but it is the people who give it its soul.
Change money at reputable offices or at the resort
Do not forget to look and listen while crossing the road. Cars may stop, motorbikes may not.
Do not forget to reconfirm your flight 72 hours prior to departure date.
Please do not touch other people's heads, as this is very offensive to Hindus.
The largest towns are Denpasar (the capital) and Singaraja in the north of Bali.
InterContinental Bali Resort has direct access to the beach, which is fabulously well-maintained.
Life in Bali is very communal with the organisation of villages, farming and even the creative arts being decided by the community.
Most Balinese are Hindu, however it is very different from Indian Hinduism. The Balinese believe strongly in magic and the power of spirits and much of their religion is based upon this.
Do not forget to always wear a sarong and sash when attending ceremonies. Once you try a sarong you may never want to sleep in anything else.
There is no cold season in Bali. Bring light, casual clothing with you. Most of the time you do not need your formal attire.
Do your body a favour
Drink a lot of bottled water and eat a lot of fresh fruit.
Guests must have an International License and should always rent a car with full insurance as this will save time and money if you are involved in an accident. It is recommended to hire local drivers as driving can be dangerous in Bali.
Pure tranquility and luxury define InterContinental halo resort destinations in some of the most beautiful places in the world. Immersive retreats include crystal clear water on remote South Pacific islands and lakeside seclusion in Vietnam. From kayaking to snorkeling, stargazing to spa treatments, emerge rejuvenated. Discover your personal paradise at luxury resorts from Bora Bora to Tahiti.
From Ngurah Rai International Airport, please go straight follow the road until the traffic roundabout and go to the right direction. Approximately one KM from the roundabout, you will find the first traffic light, turn right and follow the sign to Jalan Uluwatu 45.

Guidelines for a continuous descent approach (CDA) into Paris should be published shortly following testing of the procedure conducted through the Atlantic initiative to reduce emissions (Aire).
Aire is a joint initiative among several airlines, the European Commission and the FAA to accelerate the application of new technologies and operational procedures that cut carbon emissions, noise pollution and conserve fuel.
In 2009 Aire completed roughly 1,152 flight trials in Madrid, Paris, Stockholm, Santa Maria and Reykjavik.
Of the 435 total flights executed in Paris 82 combined were dedicated to tailored arrivals into Charles de Gaulle airport and tailored arrivals and CDAs into Orly during low density operations, said Celia Alves Rodrigues, Environmental officer of the Sesar joint undertaking.
During the ICAO Colloquium on Aviation and Climate change on 13 May, Rodrigues said the CDA procedure for Paris will be published shortly.
About 620 flights were conducted in Madrid using CDA during night operations, and the CDA procedure is expected to be introduced into day-to-day operation at Madrid-Barajas airport this year, says Rodrigues.
Sesar estimates the 1,152 Aire trials performed in 2009 averaged CO2 savings per flight ranging from 90kg (198lb) to 1,250kg (2,755lb).
Air France and American Airlines completed Aire flights from Paris to Miami in early 2010.

French coach Bernard Laporte may not play Thomas Castaignede at flyhalf against the Springboks on Saturday.
Then again he may.
The French coach was on Sunday unclear about who would play No 10 in the absence of the injured Frederic Michalak. Castaignede was the favourite to play against the Boks at flyhalf after starting there against Romania. However, he was not as good as he could have been and the whispers are that Damian Traille could be handed the 10 jersey against the Boks.
Then again it may be a curve ball to create some sort of confusion among the Bok coaches because they certainly would have to prepare differently for the more physical Traille, usually a centre, than Castaignede. If the latter does not start at flyhalf then he will play fullback at Newlands.
Laporte will pick a team showing several changes to the one that beat the Boks in Paris. Injury has forced out Michalak, but Laporte has opted to rest the starting winger, scrumhalf and loose-trio from the Paris win.
Fatigue is something the French media are talking about and the word from within the French camp is that the players' mental attitude will determine Saturday's result. The French know that they are good enough to beat anyone, but in the wrong state of mind they're also capable of losing to anyone.

Only In Hollywood
Kathryn Bigelow on being named 'Hollywood's ballsiest director'
More News from Ruben V. Nepales
LOS ANGELES—How does Kathryn Bigelow feel about Time magazine's Richard Corliss proclaiming her as "Hollywood's ballsiest director"?
"I don't know how to answer that," Kathryn Bigelow answered us with a laugh in our interview at Ritz Carlton Central Park. Wearing a black suit with a white blouse, the tall, long-haired filmmaker is winning acclaim for "Zero Dark Thirty," her thrilling follow-up to "The Hurt Locker," which won her Oscar Best Director and Best Picture trophies. "That's a very interesting question. It's extremely gratifying!"
Here's what Corliss wrote: "It's ('Zero Dark Thirty') a subject perfect for Bigelow. She has wrangled complex stories about cops ('Blue Steel'), undercover FBI agents ('Point Break'), and nuclear-submarine commanders ('K19: The Widowmaker') and, in the process, proved herself to be one of cinema's most inventive visual strategists and field commanders—and, in a nice way, Hollywood's ballsiest director. Perched between the serene classicism of old Hollywood and the jittery crazy-cam of the 'Bourne' era, Bigelow's style is terse and assured…In this case, she is neither prosecutor nor judge—simply the sharpest, most attentive member of the jury."
Vantage point
Kathryn explained her hesitance about commenting on Corliss' proclamation: "It's a difficult question for me, because it requires me to step outside myself and have an out-of-body experience. From my vantage point, that's difficult to contextualize, so I'd probably ask you to do that (for me)." Breaking into a chuckle, the director added, "In other words, it would be difficult and embarrassing for me to comment on that."
She tried to steer the conversation toward Jessica Chastain, a frontrunner in this award season's Best Actress derby. Jessica plays Maya, a CIA analyst (based on a real-life operative who had a crucial role in finding Bin Laden), in a remarkable performance. "Let's talk about Jessica, not myself," Kathryn prodded. "She's fearless, and so were all the actors (in the film). We were very fortunate to find actors who leaned into the material in a way that exceeded all of our expectations. There was a collective sense of purpose and responsibility that everybody shared.
"It's a true story, and those were firsthand accounts. I can't imagine doing it with a different cast. Jessica is absolutely at the top of her game. She's certainly one of the strongest actors I've worked with. There's truth, strength and power to her that informs the character and the movie."
The former wife of James Cameron claimed that, as a female director, whether working in Jordan or India, she found everyone in a collaborative mode. "It's the same thing with 'The Hurt Locker.' I'm speaking from having been inside the bubble. I am unable to get that vantage point and look at it contextually, but I never felt a moment that my authority was challenged. The environment in which we were working, in India and Jordan, was incredibly collaborative and productive. Having done one movie in Jordan ('Hurt'), I went back to it because it's a fairly filmmaker-friendly environment to work in."
After our interview, controversy arose about a torture scene in "Zero Dark Thirty." Three US senators described the movie in a letter to Sony Pictures as "grossly inaccurate and misleading in its suggestion that torture resulted in information that led to the location of Osama bin Laden." Kathryn and screenwriter Mark Boal reacted with a statement that said (in part): "We depicted controversial practices and intelligence methods that were used to find Bin Laden. The film shows that no single method was necessarily responsible for solving the manhunt, nor can any single scene taken in isolation fairly capture the totality of efforts the movie dramatizes."
Back to our interview, Kathryn was asked about what struck her the most about the CIA. She replied, "Working with the Special Forces and getting the sense of that psychology, dedication, and the sheer intelligence they have—it was truly impressive! I was extremely honored to spend time with them. The type of person who's drawn to that, and one who succeeds in whatever the training process is, is a person you want in that position having to make life-and-death decisions in a split second and trying every time to make the right choice."
Kathryn also commented on the sizable presence of women in the CIA: "I've read two accounts: One is by Peter Bergen in 'Manhunt.' Another is by Michael Scheuer in 'Osama Bin Laden.' In both cases, they mentioned the predominance of women in defense and the intelligence community. It surprised me, and it was very gratifying to tell that story!"

Harrelson is an ideal actor for the role. Especially in tensely wound-up movies like this, he implies that he's looking at everything and then watching himself looking.
Rampart is co-written by crime writer James Ellroy as a messy, disorienting noir, and shot by cinematographer Bobby Bukowski with an unsettling degree of realism.
In relation to the well-made and sensitive confines of "The Messenger," Rampart required a more unruly visual approach. Beginning and ending with Harrelson, this sophomore effort is full of malignant life.
Yup, it could have been a bucket of bleak. But the electric talent of Harrelson and Moverman is too exciting to be anything but exhilarating.
Noir connoisseurs, however, will receive Moverman's latest like a double-bourbon from heaven. Rampart is the best crime-movie fix from Hollywood since "Gone Baby Gone."
Brown is a sick man, but Harrelson makes him so interesting, so charismatic, so ... watchable, that you can't look away, even if his actions make you want to (and they will).
With Mr. Harrelson, Mr. Moverman has created an antihero of epic proportions and indiscretions.
This movie's too small and too dark to have gotten Harrelson into the overcrowded best-actor race, but it's without question one of the year's great performances.
The film has its narrative flaws and, occasionally, distracting stylistic flourishes. Harrelson's portrayal of a swinging dick staring down the abyss, however, is perilously close to perfect; it's the finest, most harrowing thing he's ever done.
The best thing Harrelson brings is his own sweetness of disposition, which somehow never goes completely into hiding.
Though the plot can be vague and occasionally convoluted, Harrelson is mesmerizing.
Harrelson thrives amid the restlessness, and gives perhaps the peak performance of his increasingly distinguished career.
Not only does its incredibly loose aesthetic challenge the traditionally controlled and slick conventions of the cop genre, it adds a certain visceral haziness that compliments Brown's own professional and personal immorality.
Harrelson returns in Moverman's second feature playing a similar character, a bullheaded LAPD officer whose long career with the force is unraveling amid a succession of brutality complaints, and although the role offers the same macho quotient as the earlier one, it's counterbalanced in this case by funny, observant scenes of his gyno-centric home life.
At times this gritty, intermittently gripping police drama feels like a follow-up to "The Messenger" - not just because of the thematic overlap (both films deal with grief, substance abuse, and self-destructive masculinity), but because Rampart's main character, the cynical, drug-abusing cop played by Woody Harrelson, might be the long-lost twin of the alcoholic Army captain Harrelson played in the earlier Moverman film.
A sun-scorched noir, Rampart tells a familiar story with such visual punch and hustling energy that it comes close to feeling like a new kind of movie, though it's more just a tough gloss on American crime stories past.
Nov 22, 2011Here the director pulls off the formidable task of marrying two unwieldy performances: Harrelson's, a volatile and vulnerable feat of showboating, and Ellroy's, whose writing voice is unmistakably the voice of the movie.
Harrelson rewards watching; he's no less potent at rest than when he explodes in calculated rage.
Ellroy's bully-boy schtick is getting stale, and Moverman is overly beholden to it.
It should come as little surprise that James Ellroy, the master of corrupt L.A. cop stories (L.A. Confidential), authored the Rampart screenplay along with director Moverman.
Nov 22, 2011While it provides a watchable, nuanced portrait of man in crisis, it's an insistently one-note affair, repeated until it induces a splitting headache.
It is fair to argue that, at least in the case of Rampart, Woody Harrelson is better than the material in which he appears.
A familiar story oddly presented, but with a powerful central performance from Woody Harrelson.
For all of its punishing pathos, the movie does not have the clean lines and elegance of another cut at crime in this city, "L.A. Confidential" (based on an Ellroy novel). As the day of reckoning approaches, the film spins out of control, careening between convoluted subplots, with the emotional pitch of the piece swinging too wildly.
Harrelson though, is in every scene, and seeing him burn up Rampart is positively arresting.
While the film is drenched in atmosphere and packs a verbal and visceral punch, its relentless downward spiral makes for an overdetermined, not entirely satisfying character study.
With a powerhouse cast that also includes Steve Buscemi, Sigourney Weaver, Robin Wright, Ben Foster, Anne Heche, Cynthia Nixon and Ice Cube, the carefully crafted and trenchant drama will appeal to more audience members than it will to critics.
One of the problems with Rampart is that we've seen guys like Dave in movies and on TV for years now. The bad cop psyche has been delved into pretty deeply on all fronts, most notably in FX's brilliant series "The Shield."
Something to see and little to remember, an acrid character study undone by narrative implausibilities and its own lack of purpose.
As Brown becomes more flagrantly self-destructive and at the same time more deluded, you realize you're watching "Bad Lieutenant" made by a tediously finger-wagging Jew instead of a tediously desecrating Catholic.
As the movie drags on, though, it takes on a throbbing, sick monotone. This isn't a concert, it's a bass guitar solo, all thumping blackness.
Harrelson goes full bore from the opening scene and there are no scenes he is not in. But the effect is wearying rather than exhilarating.
Feb 10, 2012Harrelson is effective, but the film isn't helped by the inevitable comparisons to the far superior "L.A. Confidential" and "Bad Lieutenant" movies.

Feb 16, 2012I really wanted to see this movie, and after seeing it, I wanted to like it. However, this movie is flat out terrible. It's a shame, becauseI really wanted to see this movie, and after seeing it, I wanted to like it. However, this movie is flat out terrible. It's a shame, because Woody Harrelson is truly amazing in his role. He's in literally every scene and does everything he can to carry the movie. After his performance though, there isn't one other redeeming aspect of this movie. There is basically NO plot, and the little there is doesn't make any sense. Not because it's complicated, but because it never goes anywhere, and when it does the writers seem to withhold certain aspects of the plot. They must do this to create some sort of "mystery", but the plot is so simple that it's not necessary. When the movie does end, I still didn't fully understand what the he** happened for what was a very dull 2 hours. This wasn't the intention of writers, it was a lazy half-a$$ed script. EVERYBODY behind the scenes of this movie should be disgusted with themselves, for bringing their D game at best, when Woody brought his A game. What a wasted performance, and just proof that you need a whole lot more than a strong acting performance to make a movie good... or even halfway decent for that matter.… Full Review »
Jan 12, 2012This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Still waiting for the movie to end quite frankly. This movie draws you in with it's over the top portrayal of a bent cop who dishes out "street justice" mainly to thugs and cretins that deserve it, but he obviously has a twisted personal life as evidenced by the fact that he (sometimes) lives with the two women he has children with. Making the home life even more ridiculous is the fact that those women are sisters. Making one of his daughters ask him if they are "inbred".
The movie creates a web of lies and conspiracy, perceived or real, that's for you to decide. Throws in some big (ish) names stars to try and add some legitimacy to the story but fails miserably because NONE of the conflicts in the movie are resolved. No, not one. The movie goes off with no resolution except for the one you may make up in your mind.
And ending like this to a movie this complex is simply lazy. If you can't write an ending then don't make the movie. Woody Harrelson plays a "dirty" cop, but is surrounded by people trying to catch him that are just as, or more, dirty as he is.
If you like movies that you have to make up your own ending you'll love this one. If you like a resolution to your stories, let this one fade away.… Full Review »
Jun 11, 2012A really great movie. Harrelson gives a great performance as a rampart cop that refuses to change his old school ways. Caught up inA really great movie. Harrelson gives a great performance as a rampart cop that refuses to change his old school ways. Caught up in addiction both chemical and sexual he winds his way through a nightmarish journey between his life as a cop and family man. It is a great story that is well told through Harrelson's performance as well as a few other famous actors that make cameos throughout the film. I highly recommend this film.… Full Review »

The definition of loneliness dictates a state of being alone in solitary isolation. My view of loneliness is very different, and instead, I view loneliness as merely living my life, each and every day, regrettably breathing and wasting air that could instead be gathered by others who value their life more than me.
I spend each and every day trying to understand the world that speeds up around me, all the while, my little bubble seems to gather friction, almost as if I am being oppressed by my environment. I feel this way even more so as I rest here momentarily, at the lake, trying to enjoy the beauty that people so often divulge in spreading the word about. The flow of the water is endless, constantly changing velocity as the wind changes tangents. The wind also affects the trees, blowing the branches back and forth, easily and vindictively, nature taking enjoyment in battling nature, a lesser evil versus a lesser evil. Nature affects nature deeply and in a way, it reminds me, as I sit here with my feet dangling over the edge of the miniature, wooden stretch of path that stretches out over the shallow end of the lake, that man affects man. One is not born lonely; at least that is what I tell myself, perhaps in a desperate attempt to find reason in my wasteful existence, and to view myself as not merely a lost entity contained within an old hermit shell. I was not born into this world, not in the slightest; I was moulded, moulded by the decrepit society that cannot undo the damage that has been done. No matter how hard they may try, alas, I remain battered and bruised, smothered with emotions I'd rather not have.
With loneliness, comes endless searching. I ponder often and thoughtfully, trying my hardest to understand myself and the earth on which I reside. I often look up to the sky for solace, watching the clouds as they idly flow past over my small head, like a distant dream, long forgotten, that has manifested into an unbearable nightmare and is ready to endure my existence, as long as I am willing to further endure my suffering. Sometimes whilst I gaze into the folds of the sky, I start to rise, as something inside me expands, creating the illusion that I am a balloon like figure, and I float, I scour the empty space that surrounds me, and this aids my search for an answer, although not for long, as reality is a much more powerful force than imagination, not to be reckoned with.
We, as humans, have a certain life essence; we need to eat in order to survive. The process of eating and digestion is a murky thing I'd rather not think about; Teeth crunching, the Ileum burping and taunting you, almost as if you were better off not eating but alas, to not eat, to not consume, is to merely waste away, to disappear into thin air, whilst your skin sags to the floor and your family doesn't even twitch, tediously continuing with the daily ritualistic fashion of their on-going monotonous lives, perhaps to honour you, perhaps to serve as a reminder of your loneliness in eternal life.
Insomnia is a by-product of loneliness. You cannot bear to sleep because you know you are only postponing an inevitable pain and providing yourself with a false reality, and this false reality fills you with glowing optimism that is hard to shake, and for a moment, if one is lucky enough to clutch this optimism, then life appears to be bearable, enjoyable even, if only for a second, until the voice of reason in the back of your conscience chirps at you like a new born chick, kicking and screaming it's little legs, begging you to feed it with realism and pessimism until the suicide season kicks in; but that's the worst case scenario. The dream world exists only within hope, however, hope is impossible to find when you are forever shrouded by a poisonous mushroom cloud consisting of acidic precipitation, that doesn't drizzle, but dominates your lifeless vessel, melting any shred of positive life with unforgettable pelts of unendurable pain.
I wish I could love. I find love to be something very different to what society dictates love should be. Forget Valentine's Day and Hugh Grant, love is feeling, not a feeling. Sure, emotions are a product of love but to experience the emotion, you have to learn how to feel, to interact with your surroundings. To feel something, to feel anything, is to truly love. I haven't felt anything in years. I cannot remember what it is like; I cannot even grasp fragments of it to convince my subconscious to trick me in to experiencing love again. My environment feels me, it moves me, it shapes my life and puts forward my fate but I cannot inadvertently breathe it in. I try, but trying leads to failing and that as a result leads to the relentless bombing of the already fragile vulnerability of my warped state of mind, collapsing my lungs as the surfactant disintegrates.
I have already said enough though, and I will not force you to listen much longer. Instead, I will leave this note. This note could be seen as a souvenir of my existence, an item for you to hold close to you in the years following this afternoon or perhaps as an awful hindrance, a thoughtless reminder of the easy way out, the baggage I carried and how I chose to accept it and move on, into a much more realised life, one that could fulfil what I wanted fulfilled and make me, at the very least, happy. I already know that you will not accept this, and you have made up your mind and wherever you are right now, you are feeling a tug at the back of your neck. This tug is telling you that something is undoubtedly wrong but unfortunately, you are not one to trust silly hunches. This note is the epicentre of my existence and this pain is the volcanic eruption that will affect everyone around me. The results will be catastrophic, I already know that but I also know that in my crippled, paraplegic heart, someone will understand out there; someone like me, anybody who has went through the troubles I have went through. I know that it is not easy but then again, in this life, what is?
And so the time has come. My transport has arrived in the form of acceptance. Some may call me a coward, ironically I hope, because they are the monsters that shrivel up underneath their bitter cloaks, judging and laughing at the despair woven judged. I am not religious, but my angel has made its descent and I must leave this earth now, hopefully for a much better planet where people can thrive of off their loneliness and achieve, never to be burdened by society's disheartening opinion and constant disapproval of what they perceive loneliness to truly be. Once again, I repeat the definition of loneliness for your grieving ears to be raped with, albeit slightly altered to make more sense, and to shed light on your troubled, unknowing minds.
A state of being alone in solitary isolation brought on by others who create the isolation and throw you inside, like chaff being thrown into an inescapable sack.

An intimate exploration of South Luangwa National Park
Africa's best-kept secret is Zambia's Luangwa Valley, an Eden-like paradise with huge concentrations of wildlife (it's sometimes called the "crowded valley"). This is where African walking safaris were born, and this private adventure zeroes in on South Luangwa National Park, one of the greatest—yet least visited—wildlife sanctuaries in the world, with the lowest ratio of people to animals in Africa!
South Luangwa hosts large herds of elephant, buffalo, kudu, zebra, wildebeest, and giraffe, and is renowned for excellent leopard sightings. Game viewing by vehicle here is always superb, but on this safari you'll experience the freedom of Africa's untamed wilderness as you explore on foot, including walking safaris from remote bush camps in a newly opened area (where hot showers, gourmet meals, and great hospitality await you!). This is your chance to relive the past, to get in touch with the real Africa. The exclusive camps we use throughout are limited to just eight people each—ideal for those who seek an intimate wilderness experience.
You'll end your safari with a stay at the five-star Stanley Safari Lodge, an elegant retreat located close to Livingstone, where you can elect to see the astounding Victoria Falls (the local name is Mosi-Oa-Tunya—"smoke that thunders"), one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
Combine this trip with other journeys in Africa to create the ultimate dream safari vacation. Ask a Regional Specialist for details!

Duration: 10 days Start Location: Lusaka End Location: LivingstoneDownload Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 : Lusaka - Mfuwe
Arrive in Lusaka, Zambia, where you will be assisted with your flight to Mfuwe, the gateway to South Luangwa National Park. Upon arrival in Mfuwe, you will met by your guide and transferred to Mfuwe Lodge, a handsome lodge overlooking the permanent Mfuwe Lagoon, which is always a most prolific area for wildlife. In fact, game watching at Mfuwe Lodge is non-stop, as a parade of animals comes to drink from the channel that runs through the dambo (a seasonally inundated depression that eventually dries out) in front of camp. Quite often, elephants walk right through camp! You'll enjoy our first explorations this afternoon, and continue with a night game drive—a special highlight. Small mammals are particularly interesting in Luangwa, where the spotlight often reveals elephant shrews, genets, civets, porcupines, serval cats, and an astounding variety of mongooses.
INCLUDED MEALS: Dinner
LODGING: Mfuwe Lodge - Zambia
Day 2 : Mfuwe Lodge
South Luangwa National Park is dominated by the mighty Luangwa River, whose annual floods constantly rearrange the architecture of the valley floor. Here, riverside floodplains offer a mosaic of habitats that range from flooded lagoons fringed with evergreen forest to grassy dambos and tracts of deciduous mopane woodland. This multitude of environments makes for a wonderful variety of flora and fauna. In addition to its abundant elephants, hippos, antelopes, and predators, Luangwa hosts an incredible variety of small animals: baboons and vervet monkeys abound, and eight species of mongoose are found in the park. South Luangwa is also the stronghold of Zambia's endemic Thornicroft's giraffe.
Bird life is exceptionally abundant and varied. Large water birds such as the yellow-billed stork are common and conspicuous; others like the huge Pel's fishing owl are more reclusive residents. You may well see colorful carmine and white-fronted bee-eaters, or flocks of quelea finches so massive they can darken the sky. While in South Luangwa you'll take walks and go on game drives, and are sure to have excellent wildlife encounters.
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Mfuwe Lodge - Zambia
Days 3 - 4 : Bushcamp South Luangwa National Park
Drive 3-4 hours to your first Bush Camp, deep into an untouched corner of South Luangwa. Each individually designed camp is located near a river or waterhole for prime wildlife viewing. All of the camps feature no more than 8 spacious chalets, often located on platforms, with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water, large beds, solar-paneled lighting as well as paraffin lanterns.
Activities at the bushcamps include short and long game drives plus the opportunity for walks along riverbanks on fairly easygoing terrain. Lunch is often served al fresco on the banks of a river or hippo pool. After lunch, you can relax and take a siesta in comfortable hammocks before the afternoon walk or game drive begins. You'll walk a total distance of around 2-4 miles per day. There will be plenty of refreshment stops along the way and a porter will carry drinking water, snacks, and coffee for the journey. The walk will end back in camp in time for afternoon tea. You can also go on day and night game drives. Night drives with a spotlight are a special highlight: you may see lions on the kill, leopards on the prowl, aardvarks, or any of the other odd creatures that only come out during the African night.
We can provide a list of bushcamps to choose from, depending on availability.
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner
LODGING: Bushcamps Zambia - South Luangwa National Park, Zambia
Days 5 - 6 : Bushcamp South Luangwa National Park
You'll move to your second bush camp, located in a diffrent area of the park. It might be possible to walk to your next camp, or you can choose to drive and then take a game walk from the new camp in the afternoon. Each camp is chosen for their scenic settings and proximity to wildlife. This is a chance to experience on foot the freedom of Africa's untamed wilderness. A walking safari is an exciting way to relive the past, to follow in the footsteps of the great explorers, and to be among the last of the great bastions of wildlife. Along the trail, surprises are the order of the day: leaping impala, screeching baboon troops, loping giraffe!
Together with the warmest of hospitality, sumptuous meals and first-class guides, our bushcamps are the perfect gateway for individuals and small groups wishing to explore the spectacular wildlife of the South Luangwa.
INCLUDED MEALS: Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner

There are also a number of optional excursions available in the area (not included in Land Cost).
