The Scoop: Patrick Connolly leaves BassoMonday, January 12th, 2015
{From left, Patrick and Suzanne Connolly in their home}
Chef Patrick Connolly is no longer at the helm of Basso, the Italian gastropub in the basement of The Restaurant at The Cheshire. The James Beard Award-winning chef confirmed he has left St. Louis, moving back to the East Coast with his wife, Suzanne Connolly. His last day at Basso was Dec. 22, 2014.
Connolly said after two years with Lodging Hospitality Management, the company that owned Basso, it was time to move on. "It was never the right fit," Connolly said. "I love the O'Loughlins and I love my team at Basso, but it was tough … It's a hotel company and it never quite fit into the way that I run a kitchen."
Connolly arrived in St. Louis in November 2012 and helped open doors at Basso just 19 days after moving in. A St. Louis native, Connolly made a name for himself in New York City, earning a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northeast in 2008.
LHM president Steve O'Loughlin said he was sorry to see Connolly go but was not surprised by the decision. "His ultimate dream is to open up his own place, and I feel fortunate that he helped us get off the ground and get us where we are now," O'Loughlin said. "I just wish it was longer … I was just hoping he would love St. Louis and maybe change his mind, and end up staying with us."
Connolly said currently he plans to move to Philadelphia to assist a friend with his three restaurants. Though he has no immediate plans, the chef said he does intend to open his own restaurant one day in New York. The move also allows the Connollys, including their new child, to be closer to his wife's family. "It was more of a personal decision to move back east," he said.
O'Loughlin said Rex Hale, executive chef at The Restaurant at The Cheshire, now oversees all culinary operations at The Cheshire. "The idea is to still embrace what Patrick has downstairs," O'Loughlin said. "I don't want to tweak too much that's going on down there. I love everything that Patrick has done … I can't wait to see what he creates in New York."

The Scoop: The Market at The Cheshire to close Sunday, Sept. 7Friday, September 5th, 2014
It's the last weekend for breakfast sandwich fans to grab-and-go at The Market at The Cheshire; the restaurant's last day for business is this Sunday, Sept. 7.
The Market, which originally opened in March 2013, will be replaced by a Starbucks in mid- to late-November, said Steve O'Loughlin, president of Lodging Hospitality Mangement. When The Restaurant at The Cheshire began serving lunch earlier this year, O'Loughlin said the two establishments were competing with each other for business.
"We want to narrow that focus," he said. "The Starbucks will be a morning focus, The Restaurant will be lunch focus, and Basso will be night focus. We're trying to create something where we don't have redundancy."
But The Market fans need not fear losing their favorite lunchtime treats; chef Rex Hale will continue to serve The Market's entire menu of fresh salads and sandwiches at The Restaurant during lunch for dine-in or carry-out.

Budget Crunch: 10 delicious dishes and sweet deals to try right nowTuesday, August 19th, 2014
1. The new Happy Hour Menu at WildSmoke offers all the barbecue joint's appetizers at half off from 2 to 6 p.m. daily. We're talkin' garlic barbecue delta shrimp over pepperjack grits ($5.50), smoked wings ($4), jumbo "doorknob" onion rings ($3.50), deviled eggs made with cheddar cheese and "pig candy" (brown sugar-roasted pork belly) ($3), a trio of sliders featuring brisket, smoked turkey and pulled pork ($4.25), and a half-dozen other choices.
2. Is Sauce on the Side poised to take over the world? That may be premature, but the newly opened second location of the calzone kitchen certainly has a hold on Clayton. The menu stars calzones like the Costanza, a dough pocket stuffed with pepperoni, eggplant, roasted garlic, basil, mozzarella and ricotta, brushed with garlic honey oil and served with red dipping sauce, as they say, on the side ($9).
3. If you're into fruit-infused, summertime beer, check out the Rubaeus Raspberry Ale by Founders Brewing Co. ($6), currently issuing from the tap at Basso. This sweet-tart double-fermented ale is made with raspberries introduced at multiple stages during fermentation. The bartenders there also offer their take on a snakebite, a "Black Raspberry" double-pour with Left Hand Chocolate Milk Stout on the bottom and Rubaeus on top to make a chocolate-raspberry beer ($7). Yummy.
4. Take away one of the five ingredients, and this dish falls apart. Put them together, and you get the winning gestalt of a classic app. The Bacon-Wrapped Dates ($7) at Joyia tapas restaurant are suitable for sharing, but you won't want to. The dates are stuffed with blue cheese, wrapped with bacon, and roasted with tomato chutney and a red-wine reduction. Mmm…
5. It's tough to say but fun to eat at the new Sizzle, Swizzle & Swirl Happy Hour at Ruth's Chris. Slide up to the bar in Clayton or downtown from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and order some of the steakhouse's signature bites for almost half price. Dig into three crab BLT sliders, normally $12, with zucchini fries, a plate of beautifully seared ahi tuna (normally $17) or even a steak sandwich and fries, typically $13, all for $8. While you munch, sip a cosmo, blueberry mojito or Ruth's Manhattan for $8 or a select beer for $3.
6. Carondelet burger palace Stacked STL has a cure for the Sunday-morning hangover: the $8 Sunday Morning Breakfast Buffet from 9 a.m. to noon. The spread features biscuits, gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries, muffins and fruit, and once you find your seat, a server will take your order for French toast, pancakes or an omelet. Order up a mimosa, bloody mary or unlimited coffee and settle in for an easy morning.
7. The All-Night Happy Hour at Modesto Tapas Bar & Restaurant wins our Inaugural Cuteness Award. Available from 5 to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the promotion is a lineup of 15 adorable one-bite samples. Consider the cerdo, grilled pork with quince (75 cents); the alcachofa relleno, artichoke stuffed with chorizo and cheese ($1); the queso frito, fried goat cheese with cumin honey ($2.50); and many more.
8. Haggis is probably eaten on a dare at least as often as it's eaten by choice. The infamous dish – organ meats and grains encased in tripe (stomach) – gets a modern makeover at The Scottish Arms. At the CWE gastropub, house-made haggis is breaded and fried to make Haggis Fritters, and served with a whiskey sauce. You don't have to know what's inside to enjoy them. The end result – additional hair on your chest – is just a bonus.
9. One way to try the fried fantasies at Vincent Van Doughnut is to track down "Clyde," the vintage van converted to a doughnut food truck. Another way is to order them at Sunday Brunch at Atomic Cowboy. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Sunday, the Grove restaurant offers a rotation of two or three different varieties of Vincent Van Doughnut. Recent flavors have included Rumchata, maple bacon, salted caramel, turtle, Highlander (made with Highlander Grogg coffee), and Tuxedo (a doughnut with a vanilla glaze, chocolate-covered nuts, chocolate chips, and a drizzle of liquid chocolate). At the Cowboy, they serve the doughnuts with an ice-cold glass of milk for $5.
10. A single S'more is sold in a roast-it-yourself kit nightly at new pub Los Punk (which we told you about here). A mere two bucks gets you a pre-portioned packet of jumbo marshmallows, graham crackers and a single mini-candy bar, plus a wooden dowel conveniently soaked in water for roasting. After buying the kit, head out back to the fire pit to make your s'more. Los Punk is open every night but Tuesday and sells s'mores every night that weather permits.
The Scoop: Heritage BBQ by Cochon returns to St. Louis Sept. 14Tuesday, August 12th, 2014
{From left, Blackberry Farm's Michael Sullivan, 2013 Cochon competing chefs Fabrizio Schenardi, Gerard Craft, SPQR's Matthew Accarrino, Kevin Willmann, Kevin Nashan and Cochon founder Brady Lowe}
Pork lovers, rejoice! Heritage BBQ by Cochon is returning to St. Louis this year. The national tour that celebrates heritage breed hogs will take place Sept. 14 at the Four Seasons Hotel-St. Louis. Cochon founder Brady Lowe brought his Heritage BBQ to town for the first time last year, and his 2014 'cue fest is set to be even bigger.
The main attraction at the event is a whole hog barbecue competition. Five area chefs will each cook up a 200-pound heritage breed swine to create six dishes judged by a panel of local industry professionals. The lineup of competing chefs is: Gian Nicola Colucci (executive chef, Four Seasons – St. Louis), Eric Heath (chef and co-owner, Cleveland-Heath), Patrick Connolly (executive chef, Basso), Josh Galliano (chef and co-owner, The Libertine) and Lou Rook III (executive chef, Annie Gunn's).
But the pig-crazed can dine on more than competition barbecue. New this year is Barbecue Traditions, during which area meat moguls will serve a dish exemplifying their take on barbecue paired with wines, bbers or spirits. Look for Mike Emerson of Pappy's Smokehouse and Chris Bolyard of soon-to-open Bolyard Meat & Provisions to be among those educating eaters on barbecue culture. Other food attractions will include a pop-up butcher shop featuring Andrew Jennrich of soon-to-open The Butchery, a tartare bar with edible delights by Creekstone Farms, a cheese spread by Rogue Creamery and ice cream from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams.
Even though there will be pound upon pound of tender, juicy meat prepared every which way, libations aren't an afterthought. Festival-goers will can partake in top-tier bourbons, Crispin ciders, wines, mezcals and Goose Island beers, including its rare Bourbon County brews.
VIP tickets are $200 and include a 4 p.m. early admission, as well as access to reserve wines and spirits. General admission tickets are $100; tickets available online.
Sauce Magazine is a sponsor of this event.
On the Line: Staci Powell of BassoThursday, January 30th, 2014
Line cook Staci Powell started her career in corporate kitchens at P.F. Chang's and The Cheesecake Factory. But when the she heard about an opportunity to work in at Basso under James Beard award-winning chef Patrick Connolly, she jumped at the chance. Today, you can find Powell at the pasta station, whipping out hand-made noodles, and often working at Connolly's side during events like Taste of St. Louis and Sidney Street Cafe's 10th anniversary dinner. Here, she shares her experience moving to an independent kitchen and impressing Connolly with her grandmother's fried chicken and greens.
On moving from a corporate kitchen
"You can be a lot more creative. … We take a lot of [food] from local places. … [Chef Connolly] is really big on seeing that from us, and you don't really get that at a corporate restaurant. We also have a lot of events outside the restaurant. You get to see a different side. To do stuff like [the Sidney Street 10th anniversary dinner] is one of the best parts of this job."
On her go-to staff meal of fried chicken, mac-n-cheese, greens and cornbread
"At staff meal, he wants you to put a lot of love in. It's your chance to be creative and try other things and kind of wow the other employees… Chef loves [when I make that meal] because he loves Southern food. He loves when I do greens. They're his favorite."

Still Can't Quit the Fish?Monday, October 7th, 2013
After reading about the allure of fly-fishing in Julie Cohen's "Rite of the River", wow your friends by preparing trout recipes from The Tavern Kitchen & Bar and Panorama. Still can't quit the fish? Try these three fish finishing techniques inspired by some favorite trout dishes around town. And after that? Well, it's time to go fishing.
1) Marinate a trout fillet with olive oil, toasted cracked fennel seed and thinly sliced oranges for 24 hours. Place fillet on a baking sheet and put in a 325 degree oven skin-side down. Bake for 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Serve on a plate brushed with almond butter.

2) Rub a trout fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Sear for 2 minutes on either side. Put the fillet on a baking sheet and top with sauteed vegetables (minced garlic, julienned sun-dried tomatoes, quartered artichoke hearts and sliced asparagus). Put in a 350 degree oven for 3 minutes. Finish with a splash of butter and a squeeze of lemon juice.

3) Salt and pepper the inside of a clear-cut trout. Close the trout and dredge it in flour and then cook in a lightly oiled saute pan for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden. Top with a sauce of white wine, whole peppercorns, shallots, fish stock, butter, lemon juice, capers and dill.

Nightlife: BassoTuesday, May 21st, 2013
{Second from left: Patrick Connolly, executive chef at Basso}
Wood-fired pizzas and bowls of steaming house-made pasta reinforce pseudo Italian-style cocktails at Basso, the boisterous and continuously packed gastropub burrowed below The Restaurant at The Cheshire. An upscale, casual spot where the flames of wall-mounted gas lamps crackle and illuminate an Old World charm, Basso is best enjoyed as a late-evening drinking and dining spot.

The Scoop: Despite Dierdorf & Hart's closing in Westport Plaza, LHM chairman is "excited about the future"Monday, April 22nd, 2013
After nearly a 30 year-run, Dierdorf & Hart's is closing its doors. As reported by St. Louis Magazine's George Mahe, the steakhouse, located at 323 Westport Plaza, made the announcement last week that doors would shutter after dinner service on May 18 (Lunch service has already ceased.).
Is Dierdorf & Hart's closure an indication that Westport Plaza is in decline? The Scoop spoke earlier today with Bob O'Loughlin, chairman of Lodging Hospitality Management (LHM), which purchased Westport last year and has its corporate headquarters at the Maryland Heights development.
"When we took over in October, the whole complex was running at 72-percent occupancy," O'Loughlin said of the 200,000 square feet of retail space and 500,000 square feet of office space. Occupancy has since increased to 74 percent on the retail side and 92 percent for office use, he noted.
Besides Dierdorf & Hart's, the other restaurants, bars and food-related shops currently at Westport Plaza include: Drunken Fish, Family Nuts, Kobe Japanese Grill, McDonald's, Patrick's Bar & Grill, Paul Mineo's Trattoria, Starbucks, St. Louis Bread Co., Subliminal Subs, Trainwreck Saloon and Westport Pizza Co. Subliminal Subs and Family Nuts are two recent additions to the complex.
O'Loughlin also noted that LHM is planning to open its own concept at Westport: a "hip Mexican" restaurant that will feature an indoor-outdoor bar. While no timeline has been set for the eatery, which will serve as a replacement to the Casa Gallardo that closed a few years ago, O'Loughlin stated that the project is "a definite go" and hopes that doors will open by late-fall. (LHM also owns the recently renovated The Cheshire, whose eating establishments include The Restaurant, Basso and The Market; and The Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark, with its 360 lounge.) According to O'Loughlin, LHM has also spoken to such restaurants as locally owned chains Llywelyn's Pub and Big Daddy's, as well as a national chain called Park Tavern, about adding a location at Westport.
Landscaping enhancements and upcoming events such as Parties in the Plaza, an art fair, wine tastings and live music on Fridays during the summer will bring an even more enhanced experience to Westport, O'Loughlin hopes. "We see some momentum," he said. "We're excited about the future of it."
The Scoop: The Restaurant and Basso lose executive pastry chefWednesday, January 30th, 2013
Lisa Fernandez-Cruz has resigned as executive pastry chef at The Cheshire's The Restaurant and Basso. Fernandez-Cruz left her post less than two weeks after her husband Wilfin Fernandez-Cruz resigned as the executive chef at The Restaurant. The Cheshire's public relations firm Twist confirmed her resignation but has offered no comment. Lisa has not shared her future plans yet; more details as they come.

The Scoop: Wil Fernandez-Cruz has left The RestaurantThursday, January 17th, 2013
Wilfrin Fernandez-Cruz has left his post as executive chef of The Cheshire's The Restaurant. Fernandez-Cruz and his wife Lisa, executive pastry chef at The Restaurant and Basso, moved from New York City in late August and started preparing for The Restaurant's opening in early September. Although Wil loved the large kitchen at The Restaurant and the massive smoker and rotisserie, reminiscent of Cookshop, where he worked as chef de cuisine in NYC, he told The Scoop that he "didn't like the direction The Restaurant was moving." According to Wil, he was unhappy that he wasn't able to use enough seasonal ingredients and products coming from small local purveyors.
Wil plans on taking the next few weeks off to spend with his two young sons. While he and Lisa's end goal (no timeline in sight) is to have their own restaurant, in the meantime, he hopes to work at another restaurant in the city. With his immediate start at The Restaurant, he hasn't had time to explore St. Louis' food scene, but he's excited for the chance to finally see what the city has to offer. Compared to NYC, "St. Louis," he said, "is a little city, but it has big industry."
Lisa remains on as the executive pastry chef at The Cheshire's The Restaurant and Basso.
UPDATE: In a statement issued by The Restaurant at The Cheshire, no plans have been reported as far as interviewing for a new executive chef. The statement said, "We have an outstanding culinary team in place at The Restaurant, an excellent corporate chef in Rex Hale who has been involved from the start, and an amazing talent in Basso Executive Chef Patrick Connolly, a James Beard Award winner, who will take on a larger role."

If I had to describe myself in 3 words, it would be funny, intellectual, and passionate
Ladies, are you more than just a pretty face? If you are, hello! I'm Zach.....I don't like to brag about myself, at least not about anything I can't prove lol......most guys probably tend to tell you a million facts about themselves and hope something sticks to the wall instead of telling you the essence of what they're really about. People say I'm really funny and tend to laugh whenever I tell jokes. I'm really sarcastic at all times. My sense of humor is kind of dark and cruel, except for I love "that's what she said" jokes. I like to laugh and show off my dimples! I am a basketball fanatic, I play all lot and have been an LA Lakers fan since as long as I can remember. Living in the city, I like to people-watch to see the funny dumb things people do. Food is one of my passions, I like to bake, cook, and go to restaurants and try new foods. I really like to cook for other people, maybe I can cook for you some time. I'm a very versatile person, I get along well with lots of people. I can dress up (very sharp too lol) and go a social event or to the theater (real theater, not movies) or put on some athletic gear and hang and feel comfortable in either setting. I am an extremely passionate person in all aspects of life. Whether it be music, cooking, or my job, I give everything I do my utmost effort (hopefully you can be a part of this). I love a good debate, and I love grammar. Like I said before, telling jokes is another thing I am really good at, people always seem to laugh at the things I say, but that may just be because I'm crazy or something (fingers crossed). Like I said to start, I'm looking for more than just a pretty face. I want a girl that can enjoy a witty, intellectual, sometimes intense conversation. The more existential the conversation the better. There's nothing I like more than having a conversation that starts with noticing someone's earrings, to turning into a discussion about the vestibular system, that ends in cracking jokes about how much of a nerd I really am. I want someone that knows what they like and what they are passionate about and isn't afraid to stand up for it, but also is open to new experiences. I really like going for random, aimless walks with no particular destination, so if you like to do that too you get bonus points in my book! As far as appearance is concerned, I'm pretty open as to what I want. Most women are beautiful in one way or another. I usually do prefer taller girls (in the 5'6 and above range) but please don't think I'll reject you if you're shorter! If you're a flake, or someone who wants to get by on their looks alone, please move on. That's not what I'm looking for. I want someone special and you should message me if you are as special on the inside as you are on the outside.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Bowling, Football
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
All my local hot spots are restaurants. I actually know every neighborhood here in the city by the best restaurants! If you want to know what ones are the best just ask.
This one you will have to ask about! Because that's a really kind of vague question, using pronouns like "things" in a question makes it kind of difficult to answer succinctly.
I really like to cook and bake! Also, playing basketball and board games or trying to find new restaurants to eat at.
The last book I read was a Harry Potter book. I am actually a Harry Potter trivia champion!

There seems to be some sort of karmic connection that Abhishek Bachchan shares with the monument of love- Taj Mahal. How else do you explain the fact that the actor keeps getting a chance to shoot at one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Abhishek Bachchan along with his co-star Sonam Kapoor was recently shooting at the Taj Mahal in Agra for their upcoming film Dilli 6. While it`s probably the first time that Sonam got a chance to shoot at the Taj, for Abhishek this is his fifth time.

Can D.C. United and Seattle come back?
By Jeff Carlisle
When a team finds itself trailing heading into the second leg of a playoff series, the tactical conundrum can be maddening. Goals are needed, so the side that is losing has to force the issue. But not too much, lest another goal be conceded, which would create an even bigger hole.
Yet that is precisely the scenario that is at work in both MLS conference finals this weekend. In the Eastern Conference, D.C. United trails the Houston Dynamo 3-1 ahead of Sunday's return encounter at RFK Stadium. On the opposite coast, the Seattle Sounders have even more work to do after falling 3-0 in the first leg against the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The inner conflict could be seen in the comments of the players involved. During a conference call with reporters, DCU midfielder Perry Kitchen talked about how United "has to be aggressive." Yet in the next moment, he noted how, "We don't have to get two goals in the first 10 minutes."
The trick, it would appear, is to fuse brawn with brains, to seize the initiative without being reckless. That is a delicate balance if there ever was one, but it remains the challenge at hand.
"We have to be smart," said Kitchen.
On paper it is United that has the easier task, given its smaller deficit. But DCU manager Ben Olsen has been struggling to scare up enough healthy bodies after losing both forward Chris Pontius and midfielder Marcelo Saragosa to injury during the first leg. Defender Brandon McDonald lasted the entire match, but suffered a calf injury in the process. Of the three, both McDonald and Saragosa received hopeful signs from MRI's that were conducted. Pontius, however, seems unlikely to see the field, even as Olsen held out hope for a miracle.
"We have to evaluate them day to day," Olsen told The Washington Post in reference to his injured trio. "We'll see about [Pontius]. Chris at this point looks a little more severe than the other two, but there's still a chance he will be okay as well."
But United will be buoyed by the return of one, possibly two starters. Goalkeeper Bill Hamid will return from suspension, but it is the possible comeback of 2011 league MVP Dwayne De Rosario that is kindling hopes of a memorable fight-back. The DCU attacker has been back in training after suffering a sprained left knee back in September. Kitchen stated that De Rosario, "definitely doesn't look like he's been out," adding that he had looked "sharp" and was "directing traffic" in the most recent training session. Given De Rosario's ability to conjure up the unexpected, his addition, be it from the start or even as a substitute, would be most welcome.
United will need all the help it can get because it will be taking on a Houston side that is well-versed in what is required to survive in the MLS playoffs. Not only did the Dynamo reach last year's MLS Cup final, but it has already navigated its way through a similar scenario in the previous round, when it took a two-goal lead into its second leg match against Sporting Kansas City. Houston lost the return leg 1-0, but it was enough to claim a 2-1 aggregate victory.
"I think the Kansas City game prepared us well, and now we kind of know what to expect," said Dynamo forward Will Bruin on Thursday's conference call. "There's going to be times where they're just attacking, attacking, and we're going to have to weather the storm at times."
Houston may have to do that with some different faces, as there are some major concerns about the state of its midfield. Midfielder Adam Moffat is recovering from a concussion although he has returned to training, and while Ricardo Clark could be the one to replace him, the former Eintracht Frankfurt man is also trying to make a comeback of his own from a left adductor strain. Calen Carr is also trying to return after straining his left hamstring.
The Dynamo got excellent performances out of Luiz Camargo and Giles Barnes in the first leg, and will be hoping for more of the same on Sunday. Manager Dominic Kinnear might also be looking for Brad Davis to slide into the center of midfield -- where he often operates anyway -- and help Houston manage the tempo through the kind of possession that proved elusive in the second leg against Kansas City.
Out west, the challenges for the Sounders are more complicated, and not just because they trail L.A. by three goals. In its last two games in particular, the Galaxy has thrived on the counterattack, with Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan, and Designated Lurker Mike Magee all in epic form. Given that Seattle will have to push the game, it could end up leaving its backline exposed, much like it did in the first leg when L.A. hit the Sounders twice -- and it could have been more -- on the break.
The problem is that the moment a defender decides to step to Donovan or David Beckham, someone like Sean Franklin or Magee ends up punishing a defense with a goal or killer assist.
"You've got to pick your poison there," said Seattle midfielder Brad Evans on a Thursday's conference call. "Do you stay with the runner that had two assists, or do you stay with [Beckham] who is starting the whole play and can pretty much pick out any player he wants on the field? It's difficult. It definitely is.
"We looked at it on film and it's six of one, half-dozen of the other. You'd like to say you mark up on the DPs first and kind of work your way down and hopefully Sean Franklin finds himself offside a couple of times, and you kind of get away with one there."
For Evans, the key is for Seattle to make the most of the chances that does create. Sometimes that could mean simply getting a stoppage of play in the offensive third, the better to stop L.A.'s attack from reaching light speed.
That is about as difficult as it sounds given the Galaxy's undeniable ability on the ball. And even though Juninho is battling an Achilles injury, manager Bruce Arena can call on the likes of Marcelo Sarvas to come in and keep the L.A. attack motoring along, whether the team is playing at home or away. A hamstring injury to Donovan has called his availability into question, but even that won't change L.A.'s approach.
Annika Sörenstam won her third career major at this year's Nabisco Championship.
"We won't be going there to park the bus, and getting everybody behind the ball, and just letting Seattle bombard us for the whole game," Keane told reporters. "We'll be sensible, but as much as we can, try to catch them in the way that we play, which is a quick counterattack."
Seattle manager Sigi Schmid had hoped that a full week between games would see him get back some of his walking wounded, but the early reports are decidedly mixed. Forward Eddie Johnson appears good to go, which will no doubt please his struggling frontline partner, Fredy Montero. But the options in the back remain limited, with Marc Burch suspended and Leo Gonzalez trying to come back from a hamstring train. The status of injured midfielder Mauro Rosales is up in the air as well, making a comeback along the lines of last year's near-miss against Real Salt Lake less likely.
But the Sounders have no choice but to give it everything they have, regardless of who is available.
"Sometimes it's a little bit easier when you know what's at stake," said Evans. "You play a little more free, in front of own crowd especially. Hopefully we get a result."

Personalize your office with a custom memo board. In this video from Maureen Wilson, you'll learn how to make memo boards using your own photos and custom made embellishments. This version was designed as a Father's Day gift.
- Divided Frame
- Cork
- Metal squares

- I've chosen to use a divided frame as my base. You could also use something like a printer's tray, or even a drawer organizer. Since my frame doesn't have a backing, I'm making one from posterboard and hot gluing it in place.
- Next measure your individual compartments, and cut scrapbook paper to fit. Glue in place.
- Now add metal sheeting to some of the compartments, to use as a magnet board. You might be able to find these at your local craft store, or, you can buy larger pieces of it at home improvement stores and cut it to size.
- You can also add some cork to create pinboards. You can buy these in sheets or rolls at most craft stores. I found cork coasters that are the perfect size. Adhere with hot glue.
- Fill some of the compartments with photographs. I chose to print mine in sepia.
- You can embellish other compartments with printables. I just searched online for free Father's Day quotes and printed them on cardstock. Print them in color, or add sparkle with glitter pens.
- Add dimension with baker's twine or hemp tied around a quote.
- Stamps are an inexpensive way to fill in blank space. Turn stamped images into magnets by adding magnetic strips to the back.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 3/29/13
It seems as if former Green Bay Packers quarterback Matt Flynn will finally have a chance to become a full-time starter. According to a tweet from Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, Flynn is about to be traded to the Oakland Raiders."Wishing Flynn the best on his endeavors in Oakland," Baldwin wrote. "Sad to see a friend leave, but excited for his opportunity. Great QB, even better man."Multiple reports Friday afternoon suggested that the Raiders were making one last effort to convince their 2012 starting quarterback, Carson Palmer, to take a pay cut. Acquiring Flynn could be a sign the two sides were unable to agree on that.Last offseason, Flynn signed a three-year, 26 million deal (10 million guaranteed) with the Seahawks. However, after rookie quarterback Russell Wilson shone in preseason, he beat out Flynn for the starting job and went on to stake his claim as the team's long-term answer.The last regular-season game Flynn started in was a record-breaking performance.

Expressive Physical Modeling of Keyboard Instruments: From Theory to Implementation
Physics-based algorithms for sound synthesis have been extensively studied in the past decades. Nevertheless, their use in commercial synthesizers is still limited due to the difficulty in achieving realistic and easily controllable sounds with current technology. In this Engineering Brief we present an overview of the models used in Physis Piano, a digital piano recently introduced in the market with dedicated physics-based algorithms for acoustic pianos, electric pianos (e.g., Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and Clavinet), and chromatic percussions (e.g. vibraphone, marimba, xylophone). The synthesis algorithms, which are based on standard techniques such as Modal Synthesis and Digital Waveguides, have been highly customized in order to faithfully reproduce the sound features of the original instruments and are easily controllable by a set of meaningful, user-friendly parameters.

Mongoose: Best of 2009
There would have been a whole lot more on this list if I could have. A top 20 is something I'm going to have to start working on.
I only recently played this game, just in time for this list and man, it's as good as people are saying. Well, not as good as some people are saying (Best game ever etc) however, if you're after one of the most solid adventure/action games then you are going to find a lot to love about this game.
Another recent play for me, having only just got a PS3 very recently. At first I wasn't blown away by this, but after about 15 minutes I could clearly see what this game was about to only have it trump my expectations. An amazing game.
Oh Shit! OH Shit! Motherf*cker did you see that!
This game is a Die Hard movie that you star in.
Refined completely over the first one, AC II delivers more of what everyone wanted and still has a couple of neat tricks up it's sleeve to keep you surprised.
Wow, for a DLC game this is really impressive. Pretty much the benchmark for what a DLC game can do. Good story, fantastic gameplay and some great extras and features.
This game hooked onto me in a bigger way than I thought it would. It's something to do with a mix of extremely good shooting mechanics and loot that done it. Call me crazy, but I think the shooting is actually on par with Modern Warfare 2.
I'm in the same boat as Ryan with this one. I'm a huge Beatles fan, I always have been. But this game feds your Beatlemania like nothing else and turns you (me at least) into a die hard, fact knowing fan.
On top of that you have rock solid gameplay and some fantastic visuals. Loved it.
Ok, so by now I've played more co-op in MW 2, but until then this was the one to beat. I'm not a huge fan of the "new" Resident Evil games, preferring the old fixed camera ones personally. Don't get me wrong, I love RE 4 I really do and I feel this one, whilst not revolutionary, improved on it in some small areas and was a really fun game with a friend.
First off, sorry Vinny.
Second, I agree with Brad. Any message this game tries to give (nothing is forced on you though) can be taken or left - your choice.
Personally, the thing I like about the game is the feeling of movement, just how it feels to float around. I wouldn't say I was affected by playing the game, but I certainly enjoyed it and will go back to float some more in the future.

Even though Hostess may be closing it's doors for good, the legendary Twinkie can live on in your very own kitchen. Yummly shares a recipe for baking this cream filled sponge cake at home. You won't need any specialty molds to make the iconic Twinkie shape, instead the recipe recommends heavy duty aluminum foil. Homemade Twinkies may not be like the original but it will be delicious nonetheless.

Cameras Catch Perp Damaging Parking Gate
Surveillance cameras in La Crosse parking ramps have yielded some early results. After losing around forty gates that were installed this spring at the ramps, cameras were installed to help police catch the vandals. Police today say that's exactly what has happened. Apparently an out-of-towner from Minneapolis who broke one of the aluminum gates to get out of one of the ramps. He'll get charged for the destruction. Cops are hoping word will get out that damage to the gates will result in certain prosecution.

Colombia-based Avianca plans to operate its first Boeing 787s to London and Frankfurt, says AviancaTaca's chief executive Fabio Villegas.
The carrier announced yesterday that it had finalised the addition of three 787-8s to its existing order of 12 for the aircraft type. AviancaTaca told Flightglobal in June that it had converted the three options.
Avianca, which has merged with Taca, expects to receive its first 787 in the first half of 2014, Villegas tells Flightglobal. It will receive four aircraft that year.
"It's quite a fast process," says Villegas of the delivery rate.
The airline plans to use the aircraft to launch flights to London and Frankfurt. "Once we add the 787 to our fleet, we can do that. It is the right plane [for those routes]," says Villegas.
Avianca now operates to only Madrid and Barcelona in Europe.

The Oklahoma City Thunder marched into Salt Lake City on Tuesday night and got worked by the Utah Jazz, 109-94, but the final score isn't what seemed to irk Kevin Durant the most. He took to Twitter after the game to share his thoughts on what it's like sitting on the visitor's bench at EnergySolutions Center: I love playing in Utah, just upset at how the fans treated us behind our bench….we don't deserve that..but I'm movin on — Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) February 13, 2013 Not helping Durant's cause was the fact he committed his first career flagrant foul (about as tame a flagrant foul as you'll ever see), but this is the same crowd that booed Derek Fisher after he signed with the Lakers — a decision he made in order to provide better medical care for his daughter — so it's not as if Jazz fans don't have an established history of being awful. In addition to the tweet, Durant fired this shot when asked if EnergySolutions was one of the loudest in the league: "Nah. It's not even as loud as an empty Oklahoma City arena."

We are looking for interior DL depth and Kitchen played well in a sub role last year for the Browns. They are looking for a RB so could we swap Bolden for Kitchen? Extra RB for an extra DL, both teams win?
"Being loaded at most positions of the defensive line isn't a bad thing, but the Cleveland Browns have plenty of problems with talent and depth at other positions, so there's a good chance they'll be looking to trade Brian Sanford, Ishmaa'ily Kitchen and/or Armonty Bryant."

Mil Mascaras: Resurrection comes to us some thirty years after Mil Mascaras last appeared onscreen in a narrative feature. For those of you who missed out the first time around, Mil, along with Santo and Blue Demon, is one of the "Big Three" stars of lucha libre cinema, as well as one of the biggest stars in the history of lucha libre itself. While Mil's cinematic efforts never had the same stateside impact as some of Santo's, thanks to them never being dubbed in English, they are nonetheless every bit as entertaining — and, in some cases, much more so — than many of El Enmascarado de Plata's contributions to the genre, and are big favorites of ours here at Teleport City.

Hellraiser: Hellworld
Really, Pinhead? Really? This is how you treat me? We've come so far, and I've given positive reviews to so many of your movies, and this is how you pay me back? I suppose it's fitting. After being lea down the tempting and Byzantine labyrinths of the Hellraiser franchise, I finally arrive and the final (for now, anyway) installment, only to discover it is the cinematic equivalent of finally solving the puzzle box only to have hooked chains shoot out and rip me to pieces.
Resident Evil: Degeneration
Oh, now you're just messing with me. This is the third horror film I've watched recently, and I'm now officially three for three on movies in which a character says, "This is like a bad horror movie!" And once again, it's because the movie is a bad horror movie. Why can't, just once, we have a character who remarks, "This is like a good horror movie!" Anyway, unlike Hellraiser: Hellworld and Diary of the Dead, I went into Resident Evil: Degeneration fully expecting it to be awful but hoping that it might at least be watchable. And that's about what I got though it was slightly less watchable than I was hoping.
I am a Resident Evil fan. As increasingly dumb as they are, and as increasingly dumb as I am for feeling this way, I've liked all three of the live-action movies. The Resident Evil video games are the only ones I've ever played consistently. So for once, I'm the target market for a movie based on a video game. That said, you know the "cut scenes" in the video games — those sequences where you can't play the game and instead have to watch as the plot is advanced through a combination of middling CGI, bad writing, and unspeakable acting? If you've ever watched one of those and thought, "this would be awesome if it went on for 90 minutes," then Resident Evil: Degeneration is the movie for you. For me, it was an exercise is tedium, albeit tolerable tedium.
Hellraiser: Deader
See, here's the thing about Kari Wuhrer: I don't know what the thing is with Kari Wuhrer. I mean yeah, she's hot, but plenty of men and women are hot, and most of them didn't star in Beastmaster II: Through the Portal of Time. There is very little in the career or Kari that I've liked, and yet my obsession with her as an actress continues to urge me toward watching whatever goofball piece of junk in which she appears. The way some people think Angelina Jolie is the hottest woman on the planet, or Aishwarya Rai? That's sort of how I feel about Kari. I just like the woman, and I have ever since Remote Control.
Hellraiser VI: Hellseeker
Ehh, ya lost me, Hellraiser. I was with you through part five. I mean, sure, part three was pretty stupid, but it was enjoyably stupid. And I thought that parts four and five put you back on track. But the wheels sort of come off the wagon with part six. As with part three, this one promises us something big then never delivers. With part three, it was "pinhead wages war on earth!" That meant that Pinhead caused some manholes to erupt on a backlot set. This time around, we're promised the return of Kirsty (Ashley Lawrence), the woman who battled the Cenobites at their meanest in the first two films. What we end up with is a cameo appearance that is so wrong-headed it'll make you happy it's only a cameo appearance. The only person in this film less than her is Pinhead. Where as part three was hilariously bad, this one is just dull and lifeless.
Faust: Love of the Damned
You know in action films when there's that scene where two dudes get in a fight, and after one dude has kicked the other dude's ass, he picks the fallen opponent up, buys him a beer, and they become friends? Well, that's sort of what it's like to watch Faust: Love of the Damned. This movie will sucker punch you in the face, knee you in the groin, and generally beat the crap out of you, but in the end, somehow, you're willing to shake hands with it and help it rescue a damsel from some secret society or something. At least that's how I felt about it, so you better get ready for another one of those reviews where I spend 99% of the time talking about how terrible the film is, only to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it come the final paragraph.
Hellraiser V: Inferno
Hellraiser V: Inferno marks the point where the series officially became a direct-to-video franchise (people claim Bloodlines was released to theaters, but I don't remember ever seeing it in one). It marks the departure of Clive Barker in any capacity whatsoever other than source of the original movie. It also marks the arrival of a new screenwriter and a new approach to what was, by then, becoming a pretty stale formula. The people behind Bloodlines must have recognized the moldiness of the central concept as well, as they tried to do something a little different with it, then ultimately tried simply to end it by setting up the final battle between Pinhead and those he would rip apart with spiky chains.
Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani
That some of Bollywood's worst sins have been committed in the name of nepotism is a fact which anyone who has borne witness to Karisma Kapoor's early career can sadly attest to. For the Hindi film industry's directors, stars and producers, dynasty building seems to be a top order of business, right alongside the practice of their chosen craft. For a fearsome reminder of this, one need look no further than director Raj Kumar Kohli's 2002 film Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani, as terrible a monument to a father's love for his son as has ever been erected.
Among the many things that puzzle me in life is the question of why there aren't more horror films set amidst military conflicts and wars. Not that aren't any, but there aren't nearly as many as one might think, giving how easily wartime settings should lend themselves as backdrops to horror films, to say nothing of the fact that it was the landscape of World War I that informed the art and set design on many of the old Universal and German horror classics. That conflict in particular, with one foot in the horror of modern warfare and the other in…well, the horror of 19th century warfare, seems particularly well suited for horror films. The strange combination of Industrial Revolution weapons and vehicles with ornate imperial uniforms, peasants, kingdoms, horse-drawn artillery, and of course, No Man's Land, trench warfare, bombed out old European buildings and castles — horror films set amongst this carnage seem to practically write themselves, and yet wartime horror films are all but non-existent.
Certainly, some exist, and perhaps I'm the only one who look sat the battlefields of past wars and sees potential for horror-themed entertainment. Chalk it up to my childhood obsession with Weird War Tales comic books, those oft-mentioned on this website stories about skeletal Nazis drifting across war-ravaged, mist-enshrouded landscapes while a terrified GI crouches in a trench. Or my personal favorite, the one with a cover where a centaur is attacking a Panzer. What the hell was going on with that one? I guess if I had my millions, I'd blow a lot of it on the usual stuff people blow easy millions — top hats, monocles, stuff like that — and the rest I'd devote to remastering and releasing on DVD obscure Eurospy films mostly for myself, and to producing a long series of horror films set during the two World Wars and featuring green fog and skeletal specters clad in tattered military uniforms. Heck, it's better than losing it all to some shyster investment banker.
Anyway, like I said, there aren't many horror films set amidst wars. There was one about two guys stuck in a trench in WWI, I think. And I'm not sure I count Manticore, even though I seem to have watched that movie like a dozen times. There are thousands of films in my "to watch" pile, including many incredible classics, and I never get around to viewing them. How is it, I ask myself, I continue to fail to watch these films but have seen Manticore and Zoolander like ten thousand times? But other than a precious few, and discounting movies that feature soldiers but are not set in actual wars, this weird little subgenre with which I'm obsessed remains curiously unpopulated. Maybe it's because most horror films are incredibly low budget affairs, and they simply can't afford the costuming, props, locations, and scenes of battle that would be required to properly set the stage. Maybe horror film screenwriters are just young, and they don't know enough about such conflicts to use them as a backdrop for a film — not that not knowing much has ever stopped a screenwriter, especially a horror film screenwriter. Their offenses against even the most basic of police procedures are long-running and often astounding.
Perhaps war is simply a horrible subject in itself, and lending a supernatural air to it is seen as tasteless. Ha ha ha! Yeah, I know. The genre that gave us sub-genres like torture porn, slashers, and Rob Zombie is worried about offending the sensibilities of the world's remaining Great War veterans. Perhaps, then the problem is that the people who have ideas for World War horror films (One or Two, either would be effective), like me, are lazy, like me, and the scripts remain as little more than half-finished ideas inside their heads. I also tend to wonder why there are so few movies about the American Revolution, what with it being kind of a big deal not just in American history, but in shaping the course of the world as a whole. I suppose the rest of the world isn't as excited about watching a cast of thousands in powdered wigs run at each other with matchlock rifles and bayonets. Maybe I'll do an American Revolution horror film.
Among the few battlefield horror films we find the Korean production R-Point, set during the Vietnam War and involving, among other things, spooky ghosts, cemeteries, swamps full of corpses, and a spooky old French Plantation mansion. Unknown to many of my generation and later — and probably earlier than that — South Korea had the second largest contingent of non-Vietnamese troops in the conflict, after the United States. For them, the conflict in Vietnam played out much like an extension of the Korean War, with the North Koreans playing a role on the side of the North Vietnamese. Over the course of the war, and starting in 1964, South Korea sent over 300,000 troops into Vietnam, where they developed a reputation for being highly skilled and effective combatants — so much so that the Americans looked to Korean theaters for guaranteed safety while the North Vietnamese warned their troops to avoid engaging Korean battalions if at all possible.
Sadly, very little of that effectiveness seems to be on display in the troops that make up the special squadron of this film, unless we are measuring their effectiveness at screaming, flailing, falling down, and blubbering like little babies at even the slightest of inconveniences. R-Point centers around a group of soldiers who are assigned the task of traveling to a remote station — Romeo Point — to investigate the disappearance of a previous platoon of Korean soldiers. The previous group was presumed dead as a result of some sort of guerrilla attack until a distorted, bizarre distress message was radioed in by an unidentified member of the platoon.
The assembled task force includes pretty much all the war movie stereotypes: the stoic CO, the world weary veteran, the nerdy radio operator, the blowhard, so on and so forth. I don't know the Korean equivalent of a guy from Brooklyn who wears a New York Yankees baseball cap and is probably nicknamed Brooklyn, but I'm sure whatever it is, this movie had one. Stoic Lieutenant Choi (Kam Woo Sung) leads the bunch and is one of the only guys with any sort of stand-out personality — that personality being "stoic guy." Things start of predictably enough, with the task force traveling up river to R-Point, only to be ambushed by a Vietcong commando. After an intense firefight, they discover the commando is a woman. Badly wounded, Choi orders her shot to finish the job, but no one can bring themselves to do it, instead leaving her to die a slow death — which seems considerably worse, if you ask me.
Upon arrival at R-Point, they discover it to be a vast lakebed, now largely drained and overgrown, not to mention prone to severe bouts of ominous fog. After holing up in a decaying French mansion, they set about searching for some trace of their comrades. It isn't long, however, before things start to get really weird. Soldiers start catching glimpses of other people disappearing into the shadows or running through the treeline. A group of Americans chopper in one night and deliver further ominous warnings about R-Point, detailing the location's long history of slaughter and mass graves. And then one by one, members of Choi's detachment start vanishing, turning up dead, or going insane.
There is much that R-Point does incredibly well, and several things it does poorly. So as to end on a high note — because I really did like this movie — we'll tackle the negative first. And nothing stands out as a bigger negative than the behavior of the soldiers. They quickly degenerate into a state of shrieking and crying and falling over, becoming largely indistinguishable from one another, as well as becoming keenly irritating. I don't expect people not to be scared when they are being hunted by ghosts and staying in a creepy old bombed out mansion, but one expects at least some degree of discipline and training to be on display at some point. But almost from the very beginning, with the exception of Choi and grizzled vet, Sergeant Jin (Byung-ho Son), the entire group is crying, cowardly, and incompetent. A better balance between soldiers trying to get their heads around their increasingly macabre circumstances and soldiers who are overwhelmed by it would have made for a much better movie, and one that deals with the complexity of entering a warzone and coming face to face with literal ghosts in a much more intelligent fashion. Instead, the movie becomes a long succession of crying, scares staged around dudes squatting over the latrine, and guys going, "Wait! Where did Corporeal So-And-So go???"
The film also falls back on the now-tired old Asian horror film chestnut of a spooky girl with long hair, which is a shame after the film goes through so much trouble to set itself up as something wholly different from the usual piles of Ring-inspired spooky girl horror films from Japan and Korea (among others). What really makes this a crime is that she is so blatant and obvious a presence in a film that otherwise relies very heavily on the effective exploitation of half-seen shapes in the shadows and momentary glances of something that was maybe there, maybe not. Shoehorning the female ghost into things not only undercuts the basic mystery, but seems wildly out of place, as if a producer somewhere along the way panicked and insisted that they put a female ghost with long hair into the film at some point. Her scenes are weak not just because she is photographed with such solidity, but also because the film doesn't seem that committed to her presence, as if it is shrugging and saying to us, "Look, I didn't want her in, either, but that producer insisted. Stick with me, and we'll get to more scenes of creepy caves and ghostly soldiers pretty soon."
So those are the negatives — provided one takes the appearance early in the film of an anachronistic DHL deliveryman in modern, bright yellow uniform to be amusing but ultimately harmless — and each negative is acutely noticeable and undermines the film in a way that can't really be ignored. Because of these, I can understand people dismissing this film as an interesting failure. But it can be made up for if the movie exhibits strengths in other categories, and in that regard, R-Point succeeds admirably. First and foremost, this movie is creepy. Really creepy. The initial reveal of the French mansion that will become Choi's base of operations is incredibly effective, fading into view as the sun rises on a gray and foggy day, and looming over the soldiers like the embodiment of all the death and decay perpetrated by the war. As far as the "old dark house" trope of ghost films go, this place is one of the best.
But it's not left up to the mansion to shoulder all the creep factor. Drawing perhaps on the influence of Apocalypse Now in making the jungle seem surreal and eerie, R-Point works wonders with its surroundings, bringing out not just the fear of wartime attack in the jungle, but a very palpable sense of supernatural dread lurking behind every banana leaf and twisted root. The endless swaying fields and swamps of R-Point itself are equally as spooky, allowing any number of half-seen bugaboos to come and go in the corner of your eye. Among the most effective of these is a scene in which one of Choi's men becomes separated from his search team, only to catch up with what he thinks is them, silently moving forward through the weeds and ignoring his attempts to catch their attention. Slowly, each soldier crouches down to take cover, fading into the brush around them and disappearing. It's a damn good scene and really plays to this film's strengths far more than the gratuitous female ghost nonsense.
Other effective scenes include the discovery of a downed helicopter, a swamp full of decaying bodies, and Jin's exploration of a cave. In each of these scenes, as with the one above, the film draws its strength from the feeling that something might be there. The juxtaposing of very familiar wartime iconography — the HUEY helicopter, the fact that the soldiers moving through the weeds look almost exactly like the statues in Washington DC's Korean War Memorial — with things that are otherworldly and not quite right. It infuses the entire film with a sense of creeping unease, that odd feeling one gets when one realizes that something they thought was familiar has been transformed into something recognizable buy also wholly alien in nature. Had R-Point stuck to that, instead of falling back onto the now unwelcome female ghost cliche, it would have been a great movie. Even with these missteps, though, it manages to be a good movie, if somewhat disappointing because it's obvious how much better it almost was. If nothing else, it proves that the combination of war with supernatural horror makes for some striking, effective imagery.
Director-screenwriter Su-Chang Kong, who also wrote the thriller Tell Me Something, wasn't terribly experienced when he penned this script, and that perhaps goes a long way to explain the failure of the film to avoid the ghostly girl cliche and do something more with the soldiers than make them cry and complain and whine about going home because they are scared. Man, the more I think about that, the more it irks me. Still, when his script is strong, it's really strong, and for the most part, he keeps the horror oblique and never fully explained. At times, it seems like Choi, and then Jin, might know more than they are letting on. At no time is the exact nature of what is haunting, possessing, and killing them fully explained. This makes the horror much scarier. Attempts to lend some explanation through the appearance of the female ghost collapse, and R-Point would have been better off never offering any clear explanation at all.
As a director, Kong fares much better, even though this was his first film. Working with cinematographer Hyeong-jing Seok (Kilimanjaro), Kong creates a thoroughly eerie atmosphere without resorting to lots of CGI. He allows the camera to linger just as often as he employs fast editing to imply ghostly appearances. Kong is also successful at turning everything into something spooky looking, including the jungle, the decrepit mansion, an old cobweb-covered radio unit, and a crumbling temple choked by vines. He also keeps the film well-paced for the most part — though even solid direction and art design has a hard time interesting me in yet another scene of two guys getting scared while squatting over the latrine. For the most part, though, R-Point moves at a slow pace punctuated by moments of surprising wartime violence or chilling horror film imagery. It's too bad that Kong the screenwriter lets down Kong the director from time to time.
There's little point in analyzing the acting, as most of it is comprised of guys crying, falling down, and begging to go home. I mean, you certainly believe these guys are scared, but it gets annoying. It also makes it hard to tell who is who — which actually works to the film's advantage when the soldiers have their revelation about the first soldier to die. The non-blubbering, non-hysterical acting is largely left up to Woo-seong Kam as Choi and Byung-ho Son as Jin. I'd never seen Kam in anything before, or since for that matter, and he has few films to his credit despite being quite good in his role here as a man attempting to hold onto his sanity and decipher the weirdness occurring around him. Byung-ho Son I'd seen once before, in 1999's Yuryeong (aka Phantom Submarine). He's also quite good here as the older, more experienced soldier trying to hold the force together while they all go to pieces and Choi becomes obsessed with figuring out what the hell is going on.
R-Point is a decent entry in the war-horror film, creating many incredibly effective scenes but ultimately proving to be a bit of a disappointment because it's almost a great film, which is often worse than just being a bad film. This is one of those movies that just needed one more revision of the script to really make it something special. Still, if you can get over how great the film could have been, you can still enjoy how good it is. Not without noticeably flaws, many of which are large enough to make not liking the film perfectly understandable, R-Point still manages to be creepy as hell in many places and an interesting film to think about. It also seems to know when it's doing something right, and when it's doing something wrong. Less female ghost with long hair, more war-horror would have been a vast improvement. R-Point still succeeds at being scary, and at having a little more going on upstairs than the usual horror film — especially when it comes to transposing supernatural horror on top of real world war horror, and letting the decay and spookiness of one frequently stand in for the other. It's just too bad that, like the soldiers in the film, it couldn't prevent itself from taking those missteps it so obviously recognizes as such.
DOA: Dead or Alive
While some video games really do have a rich enough mythology or back story to serve as a decent foundation for a movie (Resident Evil, Silent Hill — even if you don't think the movies were good, the games at least provided enough meat for the framework), many others do not. Of course, that doesn't stop them from being made into movies anyway. Such is the case with DOA. As best I can gather, DOA started life as a fighting video game, with the hook that most of the characters were hot cartoon chicks with tiny outfits and huge breasts, and you could somehow set the jiggle rate on their boobs. Then somehow the DOA games became beach volleyball games, with the attraction being the same. Someone thought this was about all you needed for a movie plot, and so thousands of years of intellectual evolution and technological innovation has finally resulted in our ability to watch a movie with the plot, "bikini models play volleyball and fight."

Ever check in to a hotel, only to find it hard to recognize from the photos on the Web site?
That spacious room with lots of natural light is actually an oversized closet facing a brick wall. That quiet pool overlooking the sea turns out to actually be next to a highway, near the ocean. And that gym with state-of-the-art workout equipment looks a lot more like your high school gym class.
Now a new hotel review Web site, Oyster.com, is trying to expose some of these kinds of discrepancies through a popular blog that it calls "photo fakeout."
"We are just trying to show that what you see in the photos is not what you are always going to find," said Will Begeny, editor of the site.
The blog highlights some of the tricks that hotels often do to make their properties look as pretty as possible. There are over-generous crops, creative angles and pictures taken early in the morning before the crowds take over the beach.
Begeny said that none of these are dishonest but noted that some are bending the truth a bit more than others.
Stay Up to Date on the Latest Travel Trends from ABC News on Twitter
For instance, one Miami hotel shows on its Web site a surfer with a wet, see-through T-shirt climbing out of the hotel pool, surfboard in hand. The problem, the pool is roughly the size of a hot tub. Not really much room for the model, his surfboard and anything else. But you would never know that looking at the hotel's Web site. In fact, the tightly cropped photo is the only pool shot on the site.
"The priorities are different. When the hotels are taking the photo, they want to sell the hotel," Begeny said. "Of course, we don't fault somebody for trying to sell the hotel."
Then there is the Jamaican hotel with a beautiful workout room, with stationary bikes overlooking the ocean. A hot guy and girl are checking each other out. Sounds like a great place to get some exercise, right?
Well, when the Oyster reviewer visited the Holiday Inn Resort in Montego Bay they did find the cardio gym equipment and they did find pretty views. They just didn't find them together. Instead, the stationary bikes were in another room, a room without the view.
"And it's yellow, which we assume is supposed to make you happy enough to forget about the fact that your expectations of ocean breezes and hot, confident and into-you dudes on cardio machines have been thwarted," wrote the reviewer.
A spokeswoman for the hotel's owner, InterContinental Hotels Group, said the hotel, which is located on the beach, does have a workout area overlooking the beach. It is located on the other side of the wall of the gym from the yellow room. Sarah-Ann Soffer said in an e-mail that the hotel's photo, which is still on its Web site, "was an accurate photo at the time it was taken."
"The cardio machines used to be housed there, but the hotel has been going through extensive renovations and they have since moved the cardio equipment," she said. The area pictured on the hotel's Web site is now used for floor exercises.
InterContinental said the photo Oyster took is outdated because of further renovations since the Sept. 1 blog posting.
"The hotel is currently working to have the photography updated as the renovation nears completion to depict the new look of the hotel's amenity offerings," Soffer said.

hydration is important whether you're running a marathon or a marathon of errands. A consistent intake of water throughout the day is the easiest way to start living a healthier lifestyle. Drinking more water everyday can lead to increased energy levels, it can support healthy body function, and can help increase the absorption of nutrients.
A mere 2% loss in body weight through sweat while exercising has been known to decrease exercise performance greatly. Dehydration cannot only lead to decreased performance, but it can cause muscle cramping, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. In order to prevent dehydration, hydrate according to thirst, replenish lost electrolytes with Nuun Active or Nuun Energy, and drink more water throughout the day
Average sweat losses ranges from 1-1.5 liters per hour; however, is very dependent on (but not limited to) the individuals fitness level and environmental conditions. Sodium is the most abundant electrolyte lost via sweat; therefore, it's important to consume sports drinks with higher amounts of sodium during the activity.
Electrolytes are tiny particles that are electronically charged and are lost to some extent via sweat when exercising. Electrolytes play a key function in maintaining fluid balance, and supporting normal body function. Sodium and Potassium are the two electrolytes needed at greater quantity, due to their important roles in fluid retention and preventing muscle cramping respectively. Magnesium and Calcium complete the electrolyte profile by aiding in muscle contractions and movement.
Consuming an adequate amount of water throughout the day can help increase energy, and delay the onset of fatigue, it can keep your skin and hair healthy, it can help digest and absorb food faster. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends the adult men intake about 3.4 liters per day, and the adult women intake 2.7 liters per day in order to maintain healthy body functions.
A serious condition, in which blood sodium levels are significantly decreased, resorting in a negative balance within the internal Na/K pump. This incidence can occur when an athlete consumes too much plain water. With over-hydrating with plain water you can flush out critical electrolyte stores that are needed for working muscles and normal body function. To avoid this situation, consume an electrolyte rich drink while exercising.
Nuun Active and Nuun Energy contain an optimal blend of electrolytes (Na, K, Mg, Ca) that help keep you hydrated for all levels of activities
All Nuun tablets are low in calories, which helps promote the consumption of water without added sugars or an excessive amount of calories
nuun's effervescent tablet technology allows the body to absorb - and use - the fluids, electrolytes, and fuel you consume more quickly than ever
