Coldplay preview new song 'Atlas' from 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' soundtrack – listen
Song expected to be premiered in full tomorrow
You can hear a 90-second snippet of the song by clicking here, while a message posted on Coldplay's official Twitter account suggests that the song will receive its full premiere tomorrow. You can read the message below:
September 4, 2013
'Atlas' is set to be the first song released from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack, and also marks the first time that Coldplay have ever recorded an original song for a film. The follow-up to 2012's The Hunger Games, meanwhile, will be released in cinemas worldwide on November 22. Arcade Fire and Taylor Swift were among the artists who featured on the soundtrack for the first movie.
"I have great respect and admiration for Coldplay, and we are thrilled with how well they have connected to the themes and ideas within the film," said director Francis Lawrence. "Their unwavering passion and excitement for the project elevated the collaboration even further, and we can't wait to share this music with audiences around the world."
Earlier this summer, Coldplay's drummer Will Champion also made a cameo in the fantasy series Game Of Thrones. The sticksman appears briefly as a drummer in a rowdy banquet scene, which you can watch below.
Coldplay wrapped up their last world tour in New York on New Year's Eve (2012) and are now believed to be working on their sixth album. Their last LP, 'Mylo Xyloto', came out in October 2011 and went on to sell over eight million copies worldwide.

Christina Aguilera - Page 8
The Wanted Apologize to Christina Aguilera
The Wanted had a rather colorful history with Christina Aguilera, and they feel bad about it now. You know, almost six months later.
Christina Aguilera Says Not Wearing Panties Gives Power to Her Ladybits [VIDEO]

Christina Aguilera Not Fazed by Low Sales of 'Your Body'
Christina Aguilera was poised for a big comeback with her latest single, 'Your Body' -- which, for the record, we love. However, sales for the song have been slow, and as a result, its charting hasn't been the greatest. Still, 'The Voice' coach isn't bothered by it one bit.

When the controversial book, Personal Influence: The Part Played by People in the Flow of Mass Communications, was published in 1955, it made waves across the fields of communications, public opinion research, political science, and marketing. Written by Elihu Katz and Paul Lazarsfeld, Personal Influence became the canonical statement of the "two-step flow" of communication, which posits that mass media flow to "opinion leaders," who in turn influence the behavior and opinions of people around them.
Throughout the last half of a century, Personal Influence has undergone rigorous critique, appeared in numerous citations, and become a key text in the history of mass communications. Why is a rereading of this text relevant now?
Upon the 50th anniversary of the publishing of Personal Influence, the editors of this volume of The ANNALS believed it was an ideal time to reflect upon the book's mid-century contexts and contemporary drawing upon enrichments of the field provided by feminism, critical and cultural studies, the new historicism, and progress in the social sciences. This unique volume of The ANNALS crosses generational, disciplinary, and national boundaries to piece together and pull apart a historically important text and use it to shed light on the contemporary environment.
Essays in this volume analyze the personalities who played key roles in the making of Personal Influence, their origins and social identities, the institutional organization of research in which it evolved, and the disciplinary consequences of its success. Other authors reread Katz and Lazarfeld's classic as a way to explore the relations between citizenship and consumption, the nature of media and political involvement today, and the relevance of the two-step flow paradigm for the study of contemporary audiences, social networks, and public campaigns.
A must-read for scholars, students, and professionals in the fields of communication, public opinion, political science, sociology, and marketing, this volume of The ANNALS dusts off a time-worn text and renews its significance in the field of mass communications with modern scholarly perspectives and contemporary methodology experience, inspiring a fresh outlook on this historical force.

Flu shots in order for almost everyone
That old saying about an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure is especially true when it comes to influenza, which annually hospitalizes some 200,000 Americans and takes the lives of 20,000 to 40,000.
The "ounce of prevention" is a flu shot, which is offered by the Henderson County Health Department today and again on Oct. 11.
The health department, located at 472 Klutey Park Plaza, is devoting both days — from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. — exclusively to the immunizations, and urges those age 18 and over to receive the shot on either of those days. The agency has a separate Vaccines for Children program, and children will not be given the flu shot during the two flu clinic days.
The cost of the inoculation is $29, but individuals who have Medicare Part B or Medicaid coverage will have the fee covered.
Jeanie Hardy, health department nursing supervisor, said drop-ins will be accommodated, but those who make a reservation for one of the 15-minute time slots throughout each flu clinic day will be served first.
Reservations can be made by phoning the agency at 826-3951.
People who have difficulty walking can receive the shot in their vehicle in the health department parking lot.
The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises that everyone six months of age and older get the shot, which becomes effective against several strains of influenza about two weeks after inoculation.
CDC said it is particularly important for individuals with chronic illnesses, the elderly, pregnant women and care givers for at-risk patients to receive the vaccine, which changes every flu season to combat the influenza strains expected to be circulating.
The immunization is not recommended for people who have a severe allergy to eggs, as eggs are used in the preparation of the vaccine.
Unlike the common cold, influenza is characterized by sudden onset of high fever, often severe general aches and pains, and extreme fatigue and weakness that can last up to a month. Complications include pneumonia and bronchitis, which can be life-threatening.
Flu is spread by contact with flu germs, which can be released into the air when someone who is infected coughs or sneezes, or they can be contracted from touching a surface the infected person has touched.
Flu prevention includes:
Washing your hands frequently. When using soap and water, wash for 15-20 seconds, which is about the time it takes to say the ABCs.
Using an alcohol-based cleaner if you can't wash your hands.
Avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Refraining, if possible, from close contact with people who are sick.
Should you become infected with the flu virus, which can appear as early as October and continue until May, stay home if possible and be sure to cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or inside your elbow when you cough or sneeze.

What neighborhoods in Nashville are considered safe? Is Buena Vista a decent place to find an apartment?
Nashville's Buena Vista neighborhood is located closer to downtown and though it is a lively place to find an apartment, it is not unsafe. Some notoriously unsafe areas include Nolensville Road, which is south of the city, Antioch, and the Madison area. The safer parts of Nashville are in Green Hills or Belle Meade, though both of those areas are rather expensive in terms of rents in Nashville. Bellevue and Sylvan Park are other options to consider finding an apartment, though they are located outside Interstate 440.

|Thank you all so much for your support. I will do my best to do the UK proud! Massive gratitude to whoever voted me onto my third showcase spot. @Madmazda86 I love getting feedback in my comments! I really wanted to do the mask performance too. My heart said yes but The Wig said no. Maybe I can do something similar for another costume (which has slightly less hair).. Much appreciation for your thoughts.

|This is so lovely <3 CLAMP do such lovely designs and it's wonderful to see one of them cosplayed so well, especially from something like Gate7, which is fantastic, but hasn't received the attention it deserves. Honestly love this cosplay! Perfection *3*
|23 June, 2014 - 20:29
|So happy this got showcased. Congratulations. Well deserved. <3
|23 June, 2014 - 07:04
|Congrats on the showcase :) I would agree with your decisions regarding performance choice to an extent, there was a lot of mock swordplay last year, but the issue wasn't with the swordplay itself, but rather that there was no story to go with it, no reason for it - many folks just walked on stage, twirled a sword around and walked off again. Whereas your skit idea has a definite reason for the swordplay (possession). If it's any help, other folks have made use of strong magnets to attach things, you could potentially keep your mask in place via that method so you don't need to put anything over your head, although I don't know what style of mask you're considering. The ruined face idea sounds frickin' awesome and would definitely have some serious shock/wow factor, if you had some method for getting it on like having it already inside the mask with some carpet tape already peeled back so you can just push it against your face and have the whole thing stick. But that wouldn't solve the problem of you losing half the hair on your head while rehearsing! I'm just throwing these ideas at you because I've seen skits relying on knowledge of the character and source material fall flat in the past - skits telling a self-contained story and comedy skits tend to do a bit better, but skits that create an atmosphere through stagecraft and lighting are pretty awesome, so it's hard to know what is best to go for. I would caution you against too much reliance on the lighting though, Expo's lighting team are great but sometimes things happen out with their control! Hope that helps :)

I have just joined... uhm... yesterday? Day before yesterday? One of those last days... and already this forum proofs to be an addiction dump :P Time sinker (obviously, since I don't even know how many days I have spent reading now :P )
Thankfully, I can justify reading it with studying :P
Anyways :) Originally I am from Germany (Bavaria - we are odd :P ) ... lived 2 years in New York, then 5 years in Vienna where I underwent an apprenticeship to be a tourist guide (I think it'll always be the country of my heart)...
But life doesn't always go as one plans it (thankfully). Due to me having found my husband, I now live in Tennessee, USA - where I am a full time student after having volunteered at the GRSM for a year ...
I don't own a horse (made the decision when I was a teenager, that I value travelling a lot and didn't think it fair to the horse - and considering, I hadn't lived in one spot for longer than 5 years over the span of 15 years, I made the right decision).
However, we seem to be settling in very tightly where we are, and who knows, maybe one day there will be a horse of my own on the horizon. We'll see...
My major is Equine Management and Training, hence me being able to justify reading this for studying purposes :P After all, English is not my mother tongue and I need to learn the horsey vocabulary ;)
- that means, I will probably ask the dumbest questions once in a while... Like.. what's the gullet? What's a roach back?
Well :) It is a pleasure to be here and I enjoy reading all the wonderful posts and advice.
All the best,

But once wolves left this area, elk grew more plentiful, browsing heavily on young willows. Today, there is little trace of beavers, and sparrows have replaced the warblers in what is now a grassland meadow. These profound changes were driven by the absence of the wolf, a top predator. That's the compelling finding of the paper, "Human Activity mediates a Trophic Cascade caused by Wolves" that appears in the August issue of Ecology by Mark Hebblewhite (University of Alberta) and colleagues.
Top-down effects of predators are called trophic cascades. While studies have demonstrated this phenomenon in aquatic environments, the Hebblewhite et al study is one of the first terrestrial, large-scale studies that so clearly exemplifies the strong role played by a top predator.
In the mid-1980s, wolves naturally recolonized the Bow Valley of Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. The nearby town of Banff has been steadily growing and prevented wolves from fully recovering in areas surrounding the town while wolves fully repopulated adjacent areas. Hebblewhite and his fellow researchers were able to examine the effects of wolf exclusion on elk–wolves' preferred prey–on plants such as willow, which are favored by the ungulates, and on other species that depend on the willow habitat.
Hebblewhite and his colleagues found that in the low-wolf area of Bow Valley elk populations were 10 times as high as in the high-wolf area.
"We also found that as elk populations climbed, active beaver lodges declined, probably because beavers could no longer find sufficient trees with which to build their dams," says Hebblewhite.
In addition, songbirds, such as the American Redstart, which is strongly dependent on willow, also vanished from the wolf-excluded area.
Although the presence of people in the Bow Valley area also kept away other large predators, such as grizzly bears, Hebblewhite and colleagues believe their large-scale natural experiment demonstrates a wolf-driven cascade effect. Only wolves were completely eliminated from the study area and subsequently recovered. Bears and other large carnivores were never completely extirpated. In addition, the researchers traced elk deaths in the high-wolf area to wolves, which also supports the major role wolves have in this trophic cascade.
"Our study findings strongly bolster the use of conservation and restoration strategies which are based on the key role of large predators," says Hebblewhite.

San Diego startup Featherbrooke's new service is a marketplace for buying and selling promotional tweets on the cheap
Author Steve Anderson needed an inexpensive way to promote his first self-published novel, "Dragon Talker," on social media.
With only 15 Twitter followers, he knew his message was unlikely to go viral on its own, so the St. Paul, Minn.-based author turned to more influential tweeters to spread the word.
He logged onto service TweetInto, crafted a tweet, set a budget of $10 and waited. Within minutes, several tweeters with tens and even hundreds of thousands of followers had shared his 140-character advertisement. Within hours, he saw a 20 percent bump in book sales for the day and watched his book's ranking climb on Amazon.
"It's definitely paid for itself," he said about TweetInto, an exchange or marketplace for buying and selling promotional tweets that debuted three months ago. "I'll get emails, postcards and letters from people who want to charge me $500 to do a press release, but with TweetInto I can spend $10 to $20 and get my message out."
San Diego-based tech startup Featherbrooke launched TweetInto in December on a whim. The firm's core product, CrewRevu, is a tool for job applicants to take social snapshots to show employers what they're like online.
It took months to build CrewRevu. TweetInto took eight days to build, said founder Kevin Potter, and already it could overshadow CrewRevu and become the startup's main moneymaker. He did not share TweetInto's current revenue, but said transactions are low in amount and higher in volume every day.
The service is part of a growing trend toward using web influencers to market products and services to their communities, but it also raises tricky issues about paid advertising and how to disclose it on social media.
TweetInto functions as a marketplace for any Twitter user to join for free and set a per-tweet price. Advertisers can then browse the tweeters based on prices, key words picked by the tweeters and follower counts pulled from Twitter. They can look up each user's click-through record and Klout, or social media influence score, pick the influencers they want to carry their message to the masses and submit their tweet. If the influencer tweets it, the advertiser is charged, and TweetInto gets the greater of 5 percent or $1 per transaction.
Alternately, advertisers can do what Anderson did and craft a tweet, set a budget with some key words and let TweetInto automatically seek out the users with its Spark feature.
Audience reach rising
In just three months, TweetInto has built its user base to about 500 with a collective audience reach of 30 million, and that number continues to increase about 3 percent per day.
Potter attributes its rapid growth to the desperate desire among businesses to get other people talking about them, and the appeal among regular people of getting paid to use the influence they already have.
"Ours is a two-sided market," Potter explained. "On the one hand, you have social influencers, or people with big followings, and they don't know how to monetize that. On the other hand, you have people who want to easily access social media to promote themselves and their products. We're meeting both the need to tweet and the need to promote."

Concert Review: Merle Haggard at the Birchmere
Merle Haggard is at an age when most of his contemporaries are enjoying retirement. At 74, the grizzled singer may have lost some hair, but he hasn't lost his country chops, as he proved Monday night in front of a worshipful crowd that included everyone from little girls in tutus and cowboy boots to guys who looked like they stepped off the Sons of Anarchy set. Though Haggard was on stage for barely more than an hour, he hit most of his biggest hits, plus a few lesser known gems.
His set was well honed, right down to the point where he interrupted himself midsong and amended the lyrics of "Are the Good Times Really Over:" nearly 30 years after the song was released, Hag's realized a joint was "a nice place to be." Haggard took a few requests, but when an audience member requested "Mama Tried" ten minutes into the show, Haggard replied "I don't want to blow my wad in the beginning." He played it any way, and later obliged a kid's request for "Rainbow Stew." He occasionally referred to the teleprompter operated by one of his sons, joking about the wordiness of his music: "[These are] songs I wrote in my 20s," he deadpanned. "And here I am in my 40s…"
Haggard's backing band, The Strangers, were sharp, especially teenage lead guitarist Ben Haggard, who tore up the stage with his sparkly silver Telecaster. At 74, his dad is no slouch either, flawlessly delivering guitar licks and playing a mean fiddle on "Working in Tennessee" and Bob Wills' "Take Me Back to Tulsa" (from one of country's best tribute records). Closing songs "Okie from Muskogee" and companion song "The Fightin' Side of Me" were met with raucous applause as well as a few differing audience opinions about the current state of the federal government.
Despite the short set and high ticket prices—the evening averaged out at about a dollar per minute—it was a fantastic night of music with one of country's finest songwriters and performers, who, for an all-too-brief time, brought a taste of Bakersfield to the Beltway.

Ah, a Merle Haggard show – more like church than a concert.
It's interesting, I've been to two very different types of Hag shows: One where he didn't say a word and flew through hit song after hit song, and then his shared bill with Kris where he was very talkative and very funny. (Not to mention the one he opened for Dylan…) Not sure which I enjoyed more.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Exotica [Blu-ray + DVD] (Blu-ray)
I first watched this movie in a German cinema early in 1995. I was overwhelmed, as well as my attendance, a very good friend. As soon as the DVD releases came out, I started to collect them. Not only from North America, also in Europe and every region I could get access to. I haven't found one which was totally satisfying. Mostly, the pictures were too dark, the colours not adequate. And now, at last, after seventeen years, the Blu-ray release is here.
At last, the pictures and the light are satisfying. This is how it all should be. I haven't seen this movie in a cinema for many years now, but I always knew how the light and the colours have to look like. This is eventually realized on this disc.
I may be hypercritically cinephilistic, but I as a film-lover, I would have preferred the original 1.85:1 ratio, however, for whatever reason, the movie comes in 1.78:1. Just to fit the 16:9 screen? This is hard to understand, for me at least.
The sound comes in 2.0, which is like in 1994/95, but I hoped they could expand it to 5.1 to get the real experience, especially in the club scenes.
No extras but an audio commentary of the director and the composer - obviously very well done.
As this is one of my all-time favourites, I have to give the highest score, with a couple of stains remaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shallow to deep.,
Robert Gamble (Falmouth, MA United States) - See all my reviews
One has to wonder if those who rated this movie poorly 'got it'. I gave this to a co-worker and he was highly confused at the end because he missed a critical link. For myself, I'm not sure what I expected. I knew I liked Mia Kirshner, and the pick-up of the DVD in a bargain bin was a "what the heck" purchase though I'd read reviews that seemed to promise a dark, disturbing, thought provoking movie.
Well, the packaging, as alluded to in the description, makes this seem like a standard erotic thriller. The addition of much of the action taking place in a strip club only seems to reinforce this as being standard, even shallow, fare. It's anything but. It might not be believable as a story, but the characters themselves are. Not only that, but fittingly enough, the shallowest seeming character through much of the film turns out to be potentially the most complex. It wasn't until after the end credits had rolled, and while still wrapping my mind around the whole canvas of the movie, it clicked as to why the character may have acted in a certain way.
I'll add a disclaimer here for anyone interested in the movie. If you are at all squeamish about the concepts of pedophelia, homosexuality, strip clubs, etc... well, just be aware that you might feel highly uncomfortable. I only plead discomfort to the first and parts were painful to watch even though nothing explicitly happens (and as is the case of the whole movie, nothing is anywhere near as simple or obvious as it first appears).
Highly recommended if you want a thought provoking, dark movie that at times makes you do a mental doubletake.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Egoyan Winner,
Bruce Kendall "BEK" (Southern Pines, NC) - See all my reviews
I like movies that reveal their mysteries gradually. Films like Mullholland Drive, Memento, Following, etc. Like a good postmodern novel (no that's not an oxymoron - there are a few [Paul Auster comes immediately to mind]) these films are non-linear and one is kept guessing about not only what will happen, but whethere central characters are crazy, evil, benign, etc. The audience is kept intentionally in the dark, and thus on edge, and sometimes (as is the case with Mullholland Drive) there is no clear resolution, no tidying things up at the end. Egoyan seems to be operating in similar territory.
Another characterstic that these directors share is that often their characters are not what one would call likeable. This is the case in Exotica. A Canadian Customs Inspector (David Hemblen) is assigned to audit the books of a nervous Toronto exotic pet shop owner. From the outset, we see that this is not going to be your typical CPA/customer relationship. Things get more intriguing when the inspector finds a pistol in the pet-shop owner's drawer and reacts enigmatically.
As the film progresses, the inspector's psyche gradually disintegrates, until finally there is a denouement of denouements at the end of the film. Finally, Egoyan lets the audience in on the source of the inspector's descent into emotional breakdown. No spoilers here, but suffice it to say that the ending provides resolution, without relying on clichés.
Another satisfying Egoyan film. Thoughful script. Uniformly excellent acting, cinematography, direction. Worth re-viewing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Egoyan never fail to amaze...,
A Customer (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
Exotica is a gentleman's club in the Toronto area that ties lives of four characters together through their personal involvement as customers or workers. There is Eric, the jealous DJ, Christina, the innocent school girl stripper, Francis, the frequent visiting tax accountant, and Thomas, the shy pet shop owner. These individuals bring their own stories and as the film evolves their stories become intertwined together. Atom Egoyan directed this film with skillful cleverness that can cause guessing audience members to get lost in the story. This film is a brilliant cinematic experience, which leaves a lot of room for the audience to muse and enjoy the journey of the four characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weird, kinky, and dark,
Magellan "Magellan" (Santa Clara, CA) - See all my reviews
I thought this was one of the most interesting films to come out of the 90's. The film's weird, kinky, and dark overtones and themes interweave to produce an oddly engrossing film. All the main characters in the movie bring virtually truckloads of emotional baggage to their relationships, and the movie doesn't so much resolve those tensions so much as use them to provide an emotionally charged atmosphere, as we see the hidden elements of each relationship peeled off and revealed until the final climax of the movie is reached. Overall, a fine film and one that should reward seeing again.
5.0 out of 5 stars What is there to do?,
Arthur C. Hurwitz (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
In "Exotica" Egoyan returns to the theme of emotional and visceral disengagement and alienation in the New World. The film's protangonist has no way to directly engaging his emotional turmoil and diress. All he can do is engage in a series of staged psychodramas which are repeated again and again without any sort of real interpersonal engagement or personal mental catharsis. The lonliness or trauma of people in the New World has no cultural idiom. There is only forms in which there is play acting but never any real touching or meeting or feeling or realness.
We are accustomed to seeing vice portrayed in certain ways in the media and in the politics. "Erotica" suggests that the patronization of vice and fantasy in the New World has other reasons, motivations, and offers sympathy for men involved in this. It suggests that they are driven to it because of the paucity of ways for men to deal with issues of the emotion and spirit in the practically oriented material culture of North America.
Despite the highly unusual plot, theme, and experimental nature of the movie, it is paced and filmed in a smooth, well organized, professional and technically proficient manner. All of the actors play their part in a realistic and belivable way.
3.0 out of 5 stars A very Modest opinion !,
Arish "A+" (On ThIs PlaNet) - See all my reviews
In all honesty I have seen a lot of phycological thrillers. But in my opinion this one is all looks and cinematography. The only thing this movie serves as a mystery with a simple plot. The movie was designed to make you think there is more to it than there really is. The key to the movie is the flash back of Eric and Christina walking in the field.They drag that flash back all the way to the end of the film,and there's you answer! They could have just made a movie out of the flashback because that is the Plot!And trust me people there is no pot of gold at the end of the flash back! The Girl Christina played by Mia Kirshner,was basically an ordinary girl that was made out to be mysterious.There was nothing mind goggling about her personality. Basically there was 3 guys that had very serious mental problems. Seriously disconnected from reality with an obcession for Christina. But not the kind of obcession you would expect. The club was beautiful but a joke, there was no nudity which really makes the movie unreasonable. A strip club with no stripping? Come on people! When this mystery unravels you will be sitting there like "that was it?" The only thing in this movie that resembled sensuality was when Christina was talking to the owner of the club and touching her pregnant belly. The rest is just whatever I guess! The movie is nice to look at but is very drawn out for what the plot was actually conveying. A real artistic, sensual, surprising, puzzling movie to watch would be Mullholland Dr,and Lost Highway. People that think this is the greatest movie since "Slice Bread" obviously haven't seen alot of challenging thrillers. "Palmetto" unraveled more mystery than this! But over all it did have a feel of sensuality about it I guess it had alot to do with the lighting and the fact that Mia was beautiful. Own this one for the art and the feel of the film the plot is just basic with a few film trick techniques to throw you off.
5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating and highly provocative mosaic,
Bert McCarthy "Mystic Road Warrior" (Santa Rosa, CA) - See all my reviews
First of all, Canadian filmmaker Atom Egoyan's lavishly intense film is NOT to be mistaken for "Showgirls," nor for any triple-x movie (although it IS R-rated).
Although the film presents certain elements of mystery (and one must pay extraordinary attention to both detail and innuendo), the intensity of the characters and plot propel the film across several levels. The viewer hangs on every word, both to pick up (almost desperately) clues toward understanding the over-lapping stories, but also because the characterizations are so thoroughly riveting.
Bruce Greenwood displays excellent range as he portrays both a care-free young family man as well as that character in middle age, besought with layer upon layer of tragedy and "baggage."
Mia Kirshner similarly impresses as we see her character at various stages: as a troubled pre-teen, replete with pony tail and braces, and also as both a mature college graduate and, quite convincingly, as an exotic dancer.
Elias Koteas is stunning as an anguished and lost club DJ/poet.
Don McKellar and Arsinée Khanjian are also quite brilliant in supporting roles.
Be prepared to want to immediately view the film a second time -- to do so is not merely repetition but serves as an opportunity to continue to fathom the depths of the characters and the film's unrelentingly passionate intrigue.
5.0 out of 5 stars MASTERPIECE,
Daniel S. "Daniel" (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
In my opinion, Atom Egoyan's EXOTICA is one of the best movies of the last decade. Those of us who had the opportunity to watch in the eighties Egoyan's first movies such as THE ADJUSTER or FAMILY VIEWING are not surprised by the nowadays international recognition of the armenian-canadian director. With EXOTICA, he has joined the very small guild of the writer/directors whose name will be remembered in the future.
Atom Egoyan is treating such universal themes as Redemption, Guiltiness or Desire, mixing them in a puzzle of images and subplots that leave us petrified by the beauty of the movie and the deepness of the feelings experienced by the characters. EXOTICA, like a book you cherish, must be seen several times in order to appreciate the complexity of the screenplay. Don't hesitate to buy it, you cannot be wrong with this movie.
There are alas no bonus features with this Disney/Buena Vista DVD, a company that prefers present extra long documentaries about the making of some infantile movie rather than contribute to the nobler but less profitable effort to help true artists reveal their work. Shame.
A DVD zone your library.
5.0 out of 5 stars Daringly Original Film About the Trappings of Fate,
cdset "cdset" (Saylorsburg, PA United States) - See all my reviews
A brilliant and complex film that intertwines the destinies of four people via a strip club named "Exotica". This club is an appropriate meeting place for these characters since it is a metaphor for what is happening in the film: the stripping bare of each character's hidden secrets and painful histories.
Fate/destiny/karma is the major theme of this penetrating film. The characters feel trapped by the circumstances that life has handed them and feel helpless and manipulated by fate. "We rarely have the luxury of choosing our life..," exclaims the stripper, elaborating upon the theme of the film. "No one asks to be born...," declares the auditor, as he ponders the terrible tragedies that his destiny has afforded him. In addition, as the destinies of the characters converge, we learn each one has been both pain inflictor and healer to the other, similar to the theme of "balancing one's karma".
The director skillfully plays out these themes in a highly creative and original way. We are slowly drawn into the lives of these characters in a mysterious, film noir atmosphere. The perceptive script, haunting score, and non linear storyline all contribute to the powerful impact this dazzling film has on the audience. It is a film not to be missed.

iPhone 4s syncing issues
I have noticed a couple problems with syncing, and I can't seem to find anyone that can tell me how to fix it.
I selected to manually manage the music. When I dragged all the music I wanted to the iPhone from my iTunes library, no album art shows. However album art does show on the iPhone, which I suppose is more important. But I don't understand why the art doesn't show on the computer under the iPhone music tab.
The big issue I've had is changing the song info on iTunes for songs on the iPhone, and those changes not taking effect. For example, I added an album in which one of the song's artists was the album artist, plus an additional artist (The Essential Chet Atkins, artists: Chet Atkins & Mark Knopfler). Under the 'Artist' tab on iPhone section of iTunes I changed the artist to only Chet Atkins so all the songs would be under the same artist in the iPhone, yet in my actual iPhone it still shows up as a separate "artist" as Chet Atkins & Mark Knopfler. Is there a way to additionally alter all the song information so iTunes categorizes songs the way I want it categorized?
Also, for soundtracks (obviously with various artists) I changed the "Artist" to the soundtrack name under "Information" so I could just go to "Artists" in the iPhone and select the soundtrack. However, to find it I have to go to albums, select the soundtrack, and the original artist names are still associated with the songs!
Why is iTunes not letting me change song information? I never had this problem before when uploading music to my iPod touch.
|Nov 4, 2011, 07:39 PM
Are you modifying the songs in your main Library -> Music?
The Music information on the Devices -> iPhone is read only. YOu need to modify the INFO from the Library portion of iTunes.
Also, as far as the Art Work, you may need to change the View setting in the View menu to see it.

I modify the INFO in the library.. it is just acting really strangely... I have Queen Greatest Hits I, II, and III, yet Queen is not listed under "Artists." To find Queen I have to go to "Albums," look up Greatest Hits, and find Queen. I feel like it shouldn't be doing that...?

3.5 Serve and Volley?

This is just my current opinion based on only 52 matches against 3.0 to 4.0 level players this year. Corrections are welcome.
I agree with this, at this level it's serve and RETREAT. The server comes in on the usually short angled return by the receiver and then beats a hasty retreat back to the baseline. In dubs, as his partner, I'm at the service line waiting for him to get next to me to cut off the angles--but he's dinking his return and going back. Why? Because at this level they can't volley. They haven't been taught to volley. They can knock off a high setter if positioned on top of the net, but any gorilla can do that. Hitting a proper approach or volley is not in their stroke repertoire. In their defense, a volley is not that easy a stroke to hit. You have to learn it and then practice it.
If you're playing the modern club-dub game--one up/one back--you don't need to learn how to hit a proper volley. One guy hovers over the net waiting for a high setter to play whack-a-mole while his partner plays singles on a wider court, (the two alleys making the court eight feet wider). This will work ok if both teams are on the same page, using the same strategy--but if someone out there knows how to volley it will screw-up the program.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Meeting the Shambler for the first time in Quake.... I ran away and hid.
I almost had the same effect with the Parasite (think that was what it was called) in Q2. I swear I unloaded EVERY clip of my shotgun to make sure it was dead.
This scary moment was a while ago. I was playing resident evil (don't remember which one) and I had all the lights off and the speakers up. I head to the back of the train and all of a sudden a zombie dog comes through the window and attacks me. My heart jumped and I just screamed and emptied my clip. Needless to say I lost a few years off of my life because of this moment.
Laughbombs free, ladies and gentlemen.
Scariest thing for me (since I don't find most zombie games to be frightening) is, heh, Mirror's Edge.
I have a strong, nearly overpowering fear of heights, elevators, and falling to my death, and the first-person view does not help break the trance I get into when playing. As a result, when I started playing and realized that I really was going to have to jump building to building, and generally be up high, I felt my heart go flitter-flop.
Knowing I had to make some long jumps really makes the game hard for me to play *and* suspend my sense of perception so that I don't have a heart attack.
I'm not super into the survival horror genre to begin with, but I think every gamer at some point has picked up something along the lines of the Silent Hill or Resident Evil franchises.
Silent Hill's over all mood and introduction of depravity that exists within its inhabitants is what is unsettling to me. Of course there is the "pop-up" moments where a baddy is trying to get to your tender parts that'll get'cha, but the world setting is what set me off.
Another title I'm seeing a lot of mention of here is Dead Space. Which, as a Sci-Fi fan I am drawn to. The mood of that game is excellent. Space is such an abstract environment that you can introduce nearly any creature with out much limit to sticking to "reality". I think the sounds in Dead Space were some of the best; moments in a vacuum where you can hear only your breathing were pretty intense.
I remember that scene perfectly..
my friend was playing and I ended up with a controllor in my eye
actually no.. the train, your referrring to Resident Evil 0, but there was a similar scene in 1 with a long hallway in the mansion
Unless my small experience with Left 4 Dead counts, I've never played a horror game in my entire life; therefore, I don't experience much in terms of "scary" gaming moments.
That said, my aforementioned attempt at L4D had me saying things along the line of "whoa" and "holy crap" a lot. Considering that they were mostly due to the presence of a Tank, however, I'm pretty sure I had good reason.
Personally, I use video games as something of a stress reducer. If I feel like ripping something's head off, I will most likely play a game in which I can do so without the murder/animal cruelty charges. As such, I tend to avoid horror games, because they would likely just compound upon my stress level.
Before I had an Xbox 360 back in the Summer of 2007 I hung out at my neighbors ALL the time and he and a friend had Xboxs set up in different rooms. He was in the well lit large living room playing Halo and me and his buddy were in his dark, small, cluttered, shadowy roomplaying F.E.A.R. We played through the WHOLE game from like 8ish to 2am. Near the end I was sleepy but still wired up on caffeine and that game gets REALLY scary in the middle and end. At the point where you are going down a ladder to walk up to it and your character spins around to go down and BOO the creepy girl is standing right at the top of the ladder, so naturally you slide down and turn left to run of and BOO AGAIN, you walk right through a ghost dude who poofs into a bunch of flies and disappears. We were like HOLING F*CKIN SH*T!!!!
That was some scary stuff.
I should have really read the patch notes for bloodlines, since i just redid the hotel part and they added a new event on the left corridor , really scared the hell out of me .
Last edited by Retsamypoc : 06-23-2009 at 04:50 PM. Reason: spelling
I just thought of this and, I'm sorry if somebody already posted it (I didn't have time to go through all the posts) but, in F.E.A.R., when you turn around to descend that first ladder, and that Samara Morgan-looking bitch is standing there. I wept. Then I shut the game off. Haven't played it since.
I know someone already mentioned Eternal Darkness. Seconded. Pretty much every moment in that game is pants-shitting scary.
Most of the entire Hell level in The Darkness is pretty scary.
And there are quite a few points in God of War (1 and 2) that are pretty frightening, if only from the sheer size of things.

Nationwide News: Applying the science of ergonomics to farm work
Nationwide explains how to apply ergonomics to farm work, to reduce stress on the body and increase safety.
Reporters, please visit our news room located in the Media and Publications section of this site.
Nationwide explains how to apply ergonomics to farm work, to reduce stress on the body and increase safety.
Lawmakers are now examining Gov. John Kasichs broad tax reform proposal. The budget bill calls for significant changes to Ohios tax structure and many voices will be weighing in on the debate to determine where the money will come from to fund state government programs.
Dealing with government can be intimidating. But public participation is necessary to ensure policymakers understand the needs of their constituents, that rules are reasonable and programs are responsive to taxpayers. Thats where Farm Bureau can help. It provides its members with a number of opportunities to connect with public officials, to learn about laws and regulations and to shape the debate. The organizations grassroots process gives it its credibility and its power.
Ohio Farm Bureaus Community Council program provides an opportunity for Farm Bureau members to come together to discuss local issues and then take action. Heres an example of how the Farmers R Us Community Council, made up of seven couples in Van Wert County, took on Ag in the Classroom as one of their community activities for the year.
Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute and high school agricultural education are facing big changes. Farmers are passionate about these programs and will need to get engaged with local school districts and legislators to determine if proposed changes will be beneficial or detrimental to local programs.

At Raleighwood Cinema Grill, movies flicker across a full-size screen with HD Digital Projection, brought to life with enhanced Dolby Digital surround sound. Yet what sets the theater apart is the experience off the screen. Instead of stacking seats into rows or demanding patrons stack into human pyramids to cram as many bodies in as possible, Raleighwood cultivates a relaxed atmosphere. Patrons lounge on cushioned, swiveling chairs at cabaret-style tables with a beer or glass of wine while servers lay out a menu of burgers, pizzas, and appetizers. Comedies, dramas, and family films enhance the flavor of dishes and the calendar of special events and food specials.

Discipline, rules and structure was once words I would run away from. More than run away, I rebelled, repelled and revolted. A rebel without a cause -- that used to be me. With age and experience, I gave that up -- revolting just for the sake of revolting doesn't work if you want to create a life with cause. To be a series of still life photographs rotating into motion that come from your lens, your camera, your vantage point. If you want to shape your reality into what it really has the potential to be, discipline is the #1 rule. You gotta devote.
Here are some tips on how to create a healthy and helpful relationship with this very sticky word, discipline.
1. Change the meaning behind the word, "discipline." I am a 1st generation Korean American. That means my family grew up in Korea whilst I was birthed on US soil. If you know anything about Asian cultures, you can begin to imagine what my childhood was like. Very strict with more rules, regulations and laws than I've ever encountered throughout the course of my life. Well, except for maybe going through customs at the LAX airport. As soon as I realized all I had to do was change the meaning behind this thing, discipline, and my own association around causing the neurons in my the brain to go "AHHH!" the contraction went away. What is it within you that is making you run away from a mere word? Heal the thing behind the thing and then the thing doesn't become a thing anymore. Get it?
2. Every discipline affects another. Try this game of giving yourself something to do, everyday. It can be your practice of yoga, taking a walk on the Earth every morning, writing 5 things you're grateful for before bed, blessing your food and giving thanks, meditating daily, anything. Do something everyday. Watch how a positive daily ritual will effect the events in your day. It will change your mindbody patterns and enhance the quality of your everyday life. Positivity works. And make sure it's something you love cos then it will work even faster.
3. Give it a place to live, make it practical. You know how New Years Resolutions usually never work, because more than half the time we get so idealistic on how we want it to be versus the practicality on how to get there. Always have a grand goal, yes! Dream, imagine, envision, GO BIG! BUT come back to right now -- what are the first three steps you must take to get there? Get real in your capacity and capabilities to the present moment. Going to the next level means making it practical for today. For example, if you want to create a boundary to create a piece of artwork everyday, do it. Commit to 10 minutes a day, taking that frame of time to nurture your creative juices. You'll start to notice that naturally once the practice lands and grounds into you, the expansion of adding on more time will internally develop. The only thing you have to do is get the ball rolling in motion. Start where you're at then build. You've got to have a willingness for an external structure (an outside ritual) for the internal commitment to occur. Or you start with an inner commitment that allows for the outer commitment to rise forth. Either way, you get to the same place.
4. Ask yourself this question: Are you interested in doing what's convenient or are you committed to doing what you need to do? Make a decision and get clear in your intention. It's up to you. You choose the route.
5. We have to value ourselves enough to give us this thing called discipline. YOU ARE WORTHY to create the life you truly envision and imagine! Say this to yourself 5 times in front of the mirror if it helps. In the beginning it might feel weird and goofy, but get over it. If it helps, who cares? If you're worried about what others will think, do it in the bathroom, close your blinds, lock the door and then you'll be sure no one's looking. Say it enough times until it becomes the TRUTH. You are worthy. Own that.
6. Franz Kafka said that, "From a certain point onward, there is no turning back. That is the point that must be reached." He is so very right on! Get yourself in the practice of a discipline until the discipline just becomes well, life. Eventually, you will know exactly what you need and the boundaries that need to be enforced to do what's essentially best for you. Your life is about you, pleasing you, allowing you to smile, doing what makes you happy, and enjoying every moment of it! Can you imagine a life that is full of love and joy in your every waking moment? …Anything is possible…
