Perfect service, perfect work. Great communication, everything completed in a timely manner and well documented. Ivan is exactly what you need.
Tim Nieuwenhuis / Mavi Australia
Really great work on our project. Highly recommended.
Tyson Loffredo / Mosaic451
Ivan is an outstanding programmer for projects that you need done right. He is thoughtful and meticulous in his work. His code is readable, well-commented, and intelligently done. He can think through a complex process, identify the important steps, and craft a solid solution.
David Edelman / Diabetes Daily
Ivan is fantastic to work with. Highly recommend. Attention to detail, completes jobs in a timely manner, responsive to our requests, and great at problem solving. We plan on continuing to work with Ivan on projects big and small.
Kristin Rosenbach / Truffle Dog Company
Many thanks for the work you've done. We're delighted with the improvement to our site and you have certainly covered the issues we requested. I have no doubt we'll be calling on you again in the not too distant future.
Sue James / BJ Seminars International
I would recommend anyone who is serious about building a professional and effective website, to consider engaging Ivan Lutrov's services. Ivan not only sets up, and maintains a website for you that is technically sound. More importantly, he has a wealth of knowledge about how to design a site that will ensure it achieves your objectives. His guidance and coaching was invaluable to me, and I am very happy with the outcome.
Tom Cartwright / Cartwright Physical Therapy
His patience and knowledge is second to none and made the task so much easier than I thought. He gave me tasks to complete so that I would learn more about managing my websites, however if I had problems in getting things right he had no problems in answering and explaining my queries. I would thoroughly recommend Ivan's services especially to someone like myself who is not the most computer literate.
Hazel Jones / Junk Food Cooking School
Thank you for creating a custom application for my agency. I had tried a number of other software developers, none of whom were able to produce what I needed. The whole thing was becoming very frustrating, until we were introduced to you. Your efforts in producing exactly what I required have made me refer to you as the "guru" of software development.
Anthony Romano / Raine & Horne
Ivan was much more than a developer in our team. He was someone with ideas who would always look for ways to do things better and improve the service we delivered to customers. Not just because it was his job, but because he has a passion for creating a positive customer experience. It was a pleasure to have worked with someone who injected so much colour as well as experience into our department.
David Reaburn / Freshtel
I have known and worked with Ivan for an extensive period of time and consider him to be an excellent, straightforward and hard-working IT professional. He is incredibly knowledgeable and well versed in web technology and I have always been impressed by his excellent technical skills and strong work ethic. Ivan has always been a valuable and trusted person who is willing to share his extensive expertise in a professional and constructive way. I highly regard Ivan and would highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to grow their web presence with the highest level of professionalism, consistency and reliability.
Roderick van Buuren / IBM
Attention to detail is crucial in web development. When Ivan joined our team that assembled a groupware collaboration product for franchise management and lead generation, he was able to thoroughly demonstrate how important it is to select the right personnel - i.e. the ones that are thorough, stay focussed when under pressure and able to clearly see the big picture even when involved in the minute details. Our system included CRM, calendar, addressbook, helpdesk, project management, notes, instant messaging, etc. - its success was largely due to having the right team.
Mick Both / Provision IT
In the areas where we were sensitive to pageload, Ivan took the time to benchmark the performance, optimize the database queries, and create a caching solution to minimize the impact on the website. This type of thoughtfulness is typical to his level of work. We look forward to working with Ivan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a project done right.
David Edelman / Diabetes Daily
Working with Ivan has been easy on our end, and all work has gone smoothly. Ivan was sensitive to our concerns and worked with us to achieve viable creative solutions. We were apprehensive about our time difference (we are in the US, he is in Australia) as the nature of problems that arise usually require immediate maintenance, but Ivan was fantastic with response and communication. We would highly recommend him for any other campaigns, and it has been a pleasure to work with him and we would be delighted to continue to do so on future projects.
Alana McGee / Truffle Dog Company
The software programming in which you participated for our company have all proven very successful. Your assistance in both seeing the "big picture" and attention to detail is appreciated. This has been evident in the quality of the web designs you produced.
Paul Stancill / Murray Goulburn
Ivan worked on a project I was managing for around 12 months as a software developer. Ivan proved to not only be a very talented and innovative programmer but also a great team player and was quickly identified as a very dependable and reliable resource. He never missed a deadline and always delivered quality. He picked up new technologies and languages quickly and has fastidiously maintained his industry knowledge to ensure that he was able to make the most of the technology available in the market place.
Ian Baker / IBM
I worked with Ivan as a developer on Telstra's mobile space about a year. Besides being a very passionate and professional team member, Ivan is always very forthcoming and it was a pleasure to work with him. Ivan is always on the lookout for the best possible way to develop himself personally as well as professionally. Ivan has excellent relationship building skills and the knowledge and contributions he brings to his workplace are first rate and value driven. I highly recommend Ivan for any challenging opportunity.
Ahmet Akbal / IBM
In working with Ivan, it is clear that he is well versed in his trade - to take a client's information management needs, and to turn it into the tailor-made database they've been looking for. His superior analytical nature, solid knowledge of database technologies and dry humour make Ivan a valuable resource in planning for information management when you need efficient, deployable, scalable database systems.
Paul Foley / Procision
Ivan's extensive knowledge and experience was (and still is) highly valued by our organisation because it ensured that the work he completed was of a high standard, delivered on schedule and within our budget. Ivan's excellent communication skills meant that he understood our client's and our requirements. His ability to effectively communicate his ideas based on his knowledge, in-depth understanding of our business requirements and goals ensured that all parties were extremely satisfied with the results of his solutions and quality of work.
Steve Yanko / Ericsson
Ivan is forthright, innovative, and shows a high level of skill and knowledge in web related programming. He is capable of delivering practical solutions to technically challenging problems.
Krishna Kattula / Murray Goulburn
Ivan is great to work with. His technical skills are exceptional and I can still always trust Ivan to know exactly what is happening on the cutting edge of his field. Ivan is very dedicated to his work and develops great professional relationships that extend to great personal relationships as appropriate. Despite not working together for some time, over the years Ivan has shared with me many professional hints and tips, plus more than a few laughs and drinks.
Rachel Henderson / IBM
Ivan is simply the best bloody programmer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. And over the years, I've worked with quite a few!
Cathy Stahel / Murray Goulburn
Ivan is simply the best bloody programmer I've ever had the pleasure of working with.
Cathy Stahel / Alinta.
I prefer to work with smart and organised clients who value quality, ethics, integrity, openness, respect, and humanity. Does that sound like you?
I have over 20 years of hands-on experience as a software developer, interface designer, systems analyst and business consultant. I possess strong skills in a number of development, markup and presentation languages, including PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS, Visual Basic, VBS, C, C++, Perl, Shell, AWK, and SQL.
I also have extensive and real world business experience with number of database management systems, including MYSQL, Postgress, Oracle, SQL Server, Ingress, Access, Universe, and even Pick.
I'm an outspoken advocate of simple computer interface usability, web standards-driven and accessible design, and I strongly believe that the best computer systems are those which put the user in charge.
I hold a Graduate Diploma of Business Information Technology from Swinburne University, and I'm a member of the Association of Web Design Professionals and the Web Standards Group.
I live and work in Warburton, Victoria and in my spare time, I'm into photography, fishing, cricket, tennis, music from the 70s, cooking, good wine, and I apparently know "way too much" about movies. From time to time, I help charities and individuals on Grassroots. If you're interested to know more about my skills and experience, download my resume.

By Rebecca DiGirolamo
An Adelaide parish that knows well the hardship of settling in a new country has vowed to make life more welcoming for Australia's newest refugees.
Tired of reading divisive headlines on Australia's asylum seeker policy, a group of Salisbury parishioners have banded together to form the group, "Welcoming Refugees: A circle of friends".
The group's first meeting in July, organised by parishioners including Geraldine Hawkes, was expected to attract locals with experience in migrant services and volunteers. Instead, a group of six refugees from Burma (Myanmar) arrived seeking assistance – evidence, says Geraldine, that there is great need among refugees, especially those who have just arrived.
"Life for some of these people has been very difficult," says Geraldine. "We are a big parish; we needed to do something."
Since the first meeting the group has grown to include several young people, all helping to create networks of support to assist refugees with language, attending school/college/or further training, dealing with government departments, accessing emails at libraries, shopping and life skills.
The group also wants to help parishioners become more informed on the needs of refugees, pray for and welcome refugees and asylum seekers, and assist more directly in the critical first few weeks of life in Australia.
"The challenge is, Salisbury Parish describes its vision as being a welcoming community – so what more can we do that is welcoming?" says Geraldine, also executive officer of the South Australian Council of Churches.
The Salisbury Parish is one of the largest in the Adelaide Archdiocese and represents many nationalities, including a growing number of African refugees joining established migrants from the UK, Italy, Latin America and Poland.
Last month Belfast-born parishioner Gerry Moore spent time helping recent arrivals from Burma, John and his family find a school for his son after meeting through the newly-formed network.
"Having come here as a migrant from Ireland, I've always had empathy for people arriving in Australia," says Gerry, who came to Adelaide as a newly wed in 1971.
Gerry says John, his sons and wife had spent years in refugee camps awaiting visas to Australia and upon arrival had found it difficult to perform basic daily tasks due to limited English.
"We really haven't appreciated how difficult it can be for new refugees," he says.
For more information contact Geraldine Hawkes – email@example.com or 8215 0300; Gerry Moore – email@example.com or 0411 263 241 or Lyn Baker – email@example.com.

THE RESCUE PILOT (3) by Rachel Lee: In a desperate attempt to cure her sister's cancer, Rory Campbell hires Chase Dakota to fly them to a hospital offering a trial treatment. In a blizzard, their plane has mechanical failure and crashes into the mountains. Alive, but in a potentially deadly situation, Rory, Chase and two other passengers fight for survival as they race the clock to save Rory's ailing sister. The characters are sympathetic and the details of their survival strategies are interesting, but the pace is shockingly slow for such an exciting premise, and the threat of impending death overshadows the romance.

Too bad that the full version is no longer online.
Awesome ! I really love this one.
Cool! His weapon looks like a light katana or ninjato rather than a light sabre. Sweet!

Tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome is a rare, inherited bone disorder that affects primarily the hands and feet. Several individual bones make up each wrist (carpal bones) and ankle (tarsal bones). In tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome, the carpal bones fuse together, as do the tarsal bones, which causes stiffness and immobility of the hands and feet. Symptoms of the condition can become apparent in infancy, and they worsen with age. The severity of the symptoms can vary, even among members of the same family.
In this condition, fusion at the joints between the bones that make up each finger and toe (symphalangism) can also occur. Consequently, the fingers and toes become stiff and difficult to bend. Stiffness of the pinky fingers and toes (fifth digits) is usually noticeable first. The joints at the base of the pinky fingers and toes fuse first, and slowly, the other joints along the length of these digits may also be affected. Progressively, the bones in the fourth, third, and second digits (the ring finger, middle finger, and forefinger, and the corresponding toes) become fused. The thumb and big toe are usually not involved. Affected individuals have increasing trouble forming a fist, and walking often becomes painful and difficult. Occasionally, there is also fusion of bones in the upper and lower arm at the elbow joint (humeroradial fusion). Less common features of tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome include short stature or the development of hearing loss.
This condition is very rare; however, the exact prevalence is unknown.
Tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome is caused by mutations in the NOG gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called noggin. This protein plays an important role in proper bone and joint development by blocking (inhibiting) signals that stimulate bone formation. The noggin protein attaches (binds) to proteins called bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which keeps the BMPs from triggering signals for the development of bone.
NOG gene mutations that cause tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome reduce the amount of functional noggin protein. With decreased noggin function, BMPs abnormally stimulate bone formation in joint areas, where there should be no bone, causing the bone fusions seen in people with tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome.
Mutations in the NOG gene are involved in several disorders with overlapping signs and symptoms. Because of a shared genetic cause and overlapping features, researchers have suggested that these conditions, including tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome, represent a spectrum of related conditions referred to as NOG-related-symphalangism spectrum disorder (NOG-SSD).
Changes in this gene are associated with tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome.
This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.
These resources address the diagnosis or management of tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome and may include treatment providers.
You might also find information on the diagnosis or management of tarsal-carpal coalition syndrome in Educational resources and Patient support.
General information about the diagnosis (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/consult/diagnosis) and management (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/consult/treatment) of genetic conditions is available in the Handbook. Read more about genetic testing (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/testing), particularly the difference between clinical tests and research tests (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/testing/researchtesting).

Still no shade range for nc44-nc45 in this foundation
It's nice that tarte have introduced more shades for darker skin tones but they are still ingnoring a large market of dark women who are dark tanned- medium dark skin tones. They have managed to make the shade Tan-Sand in the airbrush powder foundation for nc44-nc45 but couldn't even be bothered to make an equivalent shade in this foundation. Also the new shades that they have introduced for darker skins are more red based. Even the dark sand shades which are meant to be yellow based have more red undertones. Yet again tarte think that most dark woman are Nw45, Nc50 or above. This company is still ignoring large market of darker skinned women, which shows a bit of ignorance.

I fell in love with this foundation because my skin is very pink and it is very difficult to find foundations that do not look yellow on my skin. I was so excited because it was great coverage and my exact skin tone. I use to have terrible acne until I went on accutane for a year and my acne was completely gone, I could stick my face in a pan of grease and still have flawless skin- but this foundation gave both my sister and me terrible cystic acne. I am still grieving over this foundation ):

When I am not using my Merle Norman Lasting Foundation, I use this. I like that it provides SPF protection (which I wish was a bit higher), and the physical barrier sunscreen (vs. chemical barrier sunscreens in other products) doesn't break me out. Great coverage. Doesn't feel like a mask (as long as I use a light hand like I should). Just make sure you get someone who knows this product to color match you.

I love the squeeze bottle. It gives me total control over the amount I need. This foundation is super thick but doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all. Definitely not full coverage! Doesn't live up to that claim. It can definitely go beyond 12+ hours though.!it kept me matte, didn't smell horrible and felt natural on my a face. It's not my favorite foundation. I got it for the warmer months ahead to keep my matte. Hottest day so far was about 80 so far, it held up quite well. We've had some humid days already also and it held up nicely. I did need to touch up with my powder midday but not a lot. This foundation selection, in my opinion, runs a bit yellow. I got the shade Ivory because it was the closest to my skin tone (I'm cool toned) and the color is slightly off. It's blendable, but I can still tell the difference. if it holds up well, ill use it during the summer/spring months only. My HG will always be Lorac Natural Performance.

If you have oily skin... avoid this foundation!!!
I have been using this product for about two months now and am very disappointed. I had been looking for a full coverage, long lasting foundation for quite some time when I stumbled upon this Tarte foundation. I read reviews about it and watched videos in which people gave it very high ratings. I am sad to say that I highly disagree with them! Everything seemed fine when I first applied it, I was actually very impressed by the coverage. Although, I wouldn't call this a full coverage foundation, but it is definitely buildable!
Anyway, the real disappointment was about two hours into the day when I was basically really, really oily and clung to my dry spots making them extra flakey and the "full coverage" I had was not so "full coverage". Not to mention that this foundation also comes right off with the slightest touch to my face. It wouldn't have been that bad if I could just put on some powder and blot, but honestly it's like I had to completely redo my makeup to get the look that I wanted with it. It has great pigmentation and such but it does not last at all and feels really heavy if you choose to try and build it up.
I also have really acne prone skin but this foundation didn't seem to break me out anymore than usual so, that's sort of a plus.

I actually purchased this foundation a while ago, but am just now writing a review. I went to Sephora looking for a full coverage, matte finish foundation. I spoke with a rep, she did the skin IQ thing, and this foundation was one of my matches. She said it was highly recommended for people with oily skin, which I have.
I was very disappointed with this foundation because for two main reasons. First, it did not stay matte on my skin. Honestly, after about two hours I was greasy and there was makeup separation on my nose and forehead. Second, it made me break out, especially on my cheeks. I think because the foundation itself is so heavy (it really does feel like a clay or thick mousse) it clogged my pores, causing the breakouts. I say these things after having used this foundation for about a month. I tried different application techniques ( brushes, beauty blender, etc), different primers and setting sprays and even no primer at all. Nothing seemed to help. It felt like $30+ dollars wasted to be honest.
Will not repurchase, will not recommend to people with oily/ acne prone skin.

I did not break out from this product! I use this for when I need full coverage or I've got bad blemishes. A little of the product goes a long way, which I think is great because I get more value for my money. The formula is great, it doesn't slide off my face even when it gets oily. It's got a thick consistency which I'd say is pretty normal since this claims to be a medium to full coverage foundation. Considering it is on the thicker side, this does not feel heavy on my skin at all! Regarding the longevity of the product, I'd say the staying power is pretty good considering I live in a pretty humid area. I like that it has SPF too since I use this mostly during the day, I do not recommend using this for the evening or a night out since it may create a white cask under flash photography. Only thing I don't like about this product is since the consistency is so thick, it tends to be a little bit drying but it could be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how your skin is on that day.

I needed something more full coverage than the Tarte tinted primer, and found a perfect match to my skin tone in fair beige. I didn't like how thick it applied with just my fingers, so I bought an ecotools foundation brush and love it now! I just squeeze a small dollop on the back of my hand and use the brush to layer it on my face. It goes on very smooth and silky, and hardly needs buffing and doesn't have to be set with powder unless it is really humid outside.
I do get dry skin in the winter so if I don't use enough moisturizer before applying this, it can settle in the dry spots but is minimal. And while it hasn't caused any breakouts on my sensitive skin, I don't think the amazonian clay does anything special. It certainly feels nice, though!

Have been using this foundation on a daily basis for the past 10 months and its been my favorite foundation so far. Bought it out of desperation when I was having a bout of bad breakouts and I needed the extra coverage. It didn't make my breakouts worse and stayed in place so I didn't need to pile on more makeup during the day. Since then my skin has cleared up and I use much less of it now, buffing with a foundation brush (either Real Techniques or Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Brush). With a brush, the foundation doesn't get cakey and it doesn't seep into the fine lines around my mouth. The finish is quite natural and it also doesn't oxidize on my skin or become oily.
Overall, a lovely foundation that I reach for each morning and would repurchase when I finish the current tube.

I wish I liked this product because it's the only foundation that has ever matched my fair skin PERFECTLY (fair sand, I believe) and it's a very reasonable price for the ounces you get. That being said, this foundation did not work well for me. The product clung for dear life onto my dry patches, and smeared away on my oily spots. The coverage was medium and got cakey VERY quickly if I tried to add a second thin layer for more coverage. I will not be keeping this.

You will learn to expand your visual writing by seeing how to bring close-ups, medium shots, and wide-angle shots into your writing. You will learn when to show and why sometimes it is okay to tell.
This will be an interactive workshop with writing exercises to help you expand your skills in developing images that will move the story forward.

Map out your idea and finish your story in 7 stages!
This book will show writers how to develop their ideas into a finished novel by working through it in 7 stages, while learning how to mapping out their story's progress and structure so they can evaluate and improve their work. It teaches writers to visualize their story's progress with a story map that helps them see all the different components of their story, where these components are going, and, perhaps most importantly, what's missing.
The book simplifies Aristotle's elements of good writing (a.k.a. that each story should have a beginning, a middle and an end) into easily applicable concepts that will help writers improve their craft. The author helps readers strengthen their work by teaching them how to focus on one aspect of their story at a time, including forming stories and developing ideas, building strong structures, creating vibrant characters, and structuring scenes and transitions. Thought-provoking questions help writers more objectively assess their story's strengths and weaknesses so they may write the story they want to tell.
You'll learn about genre, word countand the various Elements of Fiction (theme, dialogue, etc). Most importantly, you'll learn how to develop great characters, create exciting settings and plot your novel.

Living in a land so far and lovely
I've moved my blog to my own domain, so please go to http://nielsfootman.com/ to keep in touch.
Finding myself nearby Yongsan CGV on Sunday, I decided to make a virtue of being alone and catch one of the current slew of action/horror films that my girlfriend wouldn't dream of watching. As it happened, my timing was spot on for my least-favoured option, Piranha 3D, a film that, though clearly trashy, had managed to garner a 74 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
One of the main attractions of this film, of course, was that it was screening in 3D. However, this was not the lush 3D of Avatar, but the lesser 3D of Alice in Wonderland, which was converted from 2D in post-production. Whatever one thinks of the story in Avatar – and I thought it was pretty bad – surely few people would deny being dazzled when they first saw it.
To hear Piranha director Alexandre Aja tell it, the decision to switch to converted 3D was forced on them by having to film much of the action underwater. Conveniently, this cut-price aesthetic also jibed with his intention of making a schlocky B-movie homage, in which 80,000 gallons of fake blood were reportedly used, and one of the big draws was the prospect of seeing a scantily (or non-) clad Kelly Brook in 3D.
Now, before I talk more about the 3D, a quick word about Piranha 3D itself. I'm well aware that a film about carnivorous piranhas is going to involve people getting savaged by fish. I'm also sure that there are few pleasant ways to be eaten alive, and it's not this film's job to pull punches anyway. That said, the violence in Piranha 3D is absolutely grotesque. Torsos are sliced in two, scalps are ripped from their heads by motorboat propellers, and male members are devoured, and then burped up again, by razor-toothed fish. I'm not sure if it's a sign I'm growing old and reactionary, or if this film would have prompted the same reaction in me 20 years ago, but – and despite the best efforts of a genuinely solid cast – I found Piranha 3D largely unwatchable.
As for the 3D, though it did add a certain cheesy eeriness to the underwater scenes, it was patently inferior to the effects seen in Avatar. The big cliché when describing 3D content is that the x or y really seems to be leaping out of the screen toward you. For me, Avatar actually delivered this sensation on many occasions, but Piranha 3D – despite enchanting shots of the heroine being sick toward the camera, or some "jocks" throwing a drink at the onlooking main character – definitely didn't. It was often more reminiscent of earlier attempts at 3D – such as Jaws 3D or Friday the 13th Part III – when the effect was less three dimensional and more multi-layered, like a spacious theatre stage populated by cardboard cutouts.
I've now seen four 3D films in total: Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3 and Piranha 3D. Of those, just one stood up as an excellent film in its own right – the funny and poignant Toy Story 3 – while Avatar was the only one, at least for me, where the 3D effects were genuinely stunning (but in the absence of a decent story, even they got a bit tired after a while). Though better than in Piranha 3D, the effects in Alice in Wonderland were rarely riveting, and the film itself was the kind of predictable hokum that Tim Burton seems to specialise in these days. And even though Toy Story 3, as an animated film, was able to make use of the best 3D technology, I would argue that the 3D effects really didn't add a whole lot to it.
So, is 3D a waste of time? Actually, I really don't think so. Through my work (which involves doing PR for LG Electronics), I also got the chance to see some of the new 3D TVs in action at a tradeshow in Seoul a couple of months back. In the middle of an exhibition hall at COEX, LG and Samsung had two massive, flashy booths lined up right next to each other, and the highlight in each was unquestionably their 3D line-ups. Here, as much as anywhere outside the opening hour and a half of Avatar, I got a taste of what 3D effects can really do.
Though not everything on display looked flawless, the larger sized screens, when showing content actually filmed in 3D, were very impressive. A trailer for the teen dance movie Step-up 3D finished with a dancer flinging his hat toward the screen, which genuinely made me flinch. Best of all, however, were the computer games and the football, two forms of content for which 3D seems tailor made. To trot out some more clichés, the computer game, itself based on Avatar, really did draw me into the action. Irrespective of the so-so gameplay, the graphics and Na'vi character were so convincing I could almost feel the onscreen undergrowth brushing against my legs. The football was every bit as engrossing. Showing a montage of clips from Chelsea games, the 3D effect really gave the impression I was watching a field of oompa-loompa footballers playing the game right in front of me.
Which brings us back to Piranha 3D. When asked his opinion of the new film (whose original version, incidentally, had a sequel directed by Cameron himself), James Cameron said: "I tend almost never to throw other films under the bus, but that is exactly an example of what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s, like Friday the 13th 3-D." This drew a sharp response from some commenters. But after seeing a fair bit of 3D stuff myself since the release of Avatar, I'm increasingly inclined to agree with him.
Especially since the release of the much-derided Clash of the Titans remake, 3D has been facing a growing backlash, with many dismissing it as no more than a gimmick. Having seen the best and the lesser sides of it, I think 3D is definitely not going away. But I can see a few things happening:
1) After the forthcoming flurry of 3D films, the novelty will wear off, and filmmakers and viewers will settle on certain genres of films for which 3D is especially well suited; ie, action, sci-fi, animation and perhaps some horror. The only elements of 3D I think will prove to be a "gimmick" are the lower-quality effects used on the likes of Piranha 3D and Clash of the Titans.
2) 3D will become a standard feature on TVs, especially once a good amount of 3D Blu-ray content hits the market.
3) But even when glasses-free models come out, 3D content will still only have appeal in certain genres. However, on top of the kind of movies that will attract 3D fans to cinemas, 3D TV will also become popular for all kinds of sports, computer games and perhaps wildlife shows and the like.
So there's my tuppence worth. And for what it's worth, I reckon that the forthcoming Tron: Legacy film – which I'm REALLY looking forward to – could be the one that takes 3D properly into the mainstream.
Here's a piece I wrote for CNNGo.com about Seoul's "quirkiest" bars. It actually took a hell of a lot of legwork, so it's nice to see it getting some appreciation on the CNNGo.com site (thanks if you recommended it!).
Highlights of my time in Korea have often had a touch of the bizarre about them. Being part of an impromptu, 10,000-strong street party that stopped the traffic on Gangnam-gu, right after Ahn Jung-hwan had scored the goal that sank Italy in the 2002 World Cup, was chaotic but disarmingly friendly. Standing atop the snow-covered peaks of Mount Hallasan on Jeju Island in March while the rest of "Korea's Hawaii" was dry and bathed in sun was fantastic, yet somewhat disconcerting. Likewise, going to Jisan Valley Rock Festival and seeing Korean fans in tears to the Pet Shop Boys and Belle and Sebastian was tremendous, but not the kind of response I'd ever have imagined Koreans lavishing on middle-aged British pop stars.
Unlike last year when we went to Jisan for the Saturday and Sunday, this year, with what was – along with Pentaport in 2006 – the strongest overall lineup yet at a Korean rock festival, I took the Friday off work and headed down there for the whole three-day shebang.
DAY 1: After a protracted journey, involving two subways and a local bus, I finally got to Jisan at around 4.30, just in time to see Martina Topley-Bird. Though I'd never heard anything she'd done apart from her work on Maxinquaye, Tricky's album from 1995, I was quite taken with her oddball charm, and she soon had the smallish crowd dancing along as best they could to her stripped-back, trip-hoppish tunes.
As her set drew to a close, we joined one of the mass between-band exoduses that was to mark the whole weekend and headed over to the main stage for the surprise hit of the festival. From the time they started in the mid-90s I've always been vaguely aware of Belle and Sebastian, but I invariably found their music to be mannered and forgettable. And so it sounded as I turned the corner to see them there on the main stage, plucking their guitars and cellos and shuffling gently as Stuart Murdoch crooned into his mic.
But then, over the course of the next hour or so, the strangest thing happened.
I'd heard that Belle and Sebastian enjoy a cultish following in Korea – indeed, the girl sat next to me on the bus said she was only going to Jisan, her first ever festival, to see them. But before long, it became patently clear just how deep this affection runs. To tunes that only struck a distant chord with me, hordes of Korean indie kids danced euphorically, singing along to every single, presumably poorly understood, word. Stuart Murdoch reciprocated with sentences of endearingly poor Korean and an invitation for a bunch of fans to come up on stage and dance, which they did with goofy abandon. On two or three occasions, the side-stage screens showed close-ups of a young girl in the front row, who was so overcome with emotion, her attempts to dance and sing were constantly interrupted with floods of tears. Cheesy as it sounds, seeing 20-something Koreans so affected by introspective indie pop from a bunch of 40-something Glaswegians almost had me welling up, too.
After that rousing performance, Diane Birch, unsurprisingly, seemed kind of dull (thought it's pretty hard for female singer songwriters to stand out from their throngs of peers these days). Next up, Vampire Weekend gave a strong, highly charged performance that had the crowd pogoing along. It was great to hear the standards from the first album – Oxford Comma, I Stand Corrected and Walcott all sounded superb live – but despite their energy and excitable chat, it still seemed a bit of an anticlimax compared to the big love-in of the Belle and Sebastian show.
Much was expected of headliners Massive Attack, but despite an inventive and sometimes exhilarating light show, they fell surprisingly flat. Call me an old grouch, but if you're sitting on one of the best back catalogues of the '90s and you're doing your first ever show in a new country, you HAVE to play the classics. Granted, I'm not too familiar with their more recent stuff (ie, anything after Mezzanine), but no Unfinished Sympathy, Protection or Karmacoma and only a tinkly remix of Teardrops?? For shame.
DAY 2: The day began in unspectacular fashion with Mate (poor), Vanilla Unity (noisy) and Matzka (meh) before finally picking up with the superb Kingston Rudieska, a Korean ska band. Exceptional musicians led by a hyperactive frontman with a nice line in patois, Kingston Rudieska were truly infectious, stoking an enthusiastic response despite the searing afternoon temperatures.
The day continued to tick along until festival favourites Jang Kiha and the Faces took to the stage a little before 6. Though their music can be a bit arch for some tastes, their enormously charismatic frontman, Jang Kiha, struck the best rapport with the crowd of any band over the weekend. His dry, between-song schtick drew big laughs from much of the crowd, and he gleefully exploited his big, festival-friendly choruses to get everyone singing along and throwing their hands around.
Rounding off the night were the Pet Shop Boys, who I'd expected to be perhaps the highlight of the weekend. And unlike Massive Attack, they delivered in spectacular fashion. To a stage decorated with two vast, draft-board light decorations, they marched out to an already frenzied crowd and began with a rousing rendition of Heart, a song I'd never really rated before but which is now, after that performance, one of my favourites. From then on, it was a procession of greatest hits – It's a Sin, Suburbia, West End Girls, Go West, Love Etc, What Have I Done To Deserve This? – all against the backdrop of balletic dance shows and Pink Floyd-esque wall blocks that were variously built up, thrown around and sent crashing to the stage. And when they played Being Boring and Jealousy in their encore, they apparently, according to one of my friends, had a couple of grown Korean guys reduced to tears. Absolutely blinding.
DAY 3: On what was probably the weakest overall of the three days, a bunch of Korean bands came and went – Galaxy Express (OK), Schizo (fast and loud), Im Joo-yeon (totally anonymous) – before things picked up a bit with Japanese rockers The Hiatus. With one of the most powerful openings of the weekend, the lead singer tore through a track called The Ivy, demonstrating both a fearsome set of pipes and a serious admiration for that night's headliners, Muse. Unfortunately, they weren't able to maintain that pace, and the set declined into energetic, but largely forgettable power rock.
Also suffering from "unmatched opening syndrome" was Toe, who began with a blistering acoustic track before giving up on vocals and going all jazz odyssey. Third Eye Blind were predictably bland, and had embarrassingly bad chat to boot ("We were told that [where are we today?] Korea had the best crowds in the world, and it's TRUE! You guys ROCK!"). Corinne Bailey Rae was very pleasant, and seemed like a lovely woman too. And Kula Shaker, who I've now seen twice in Korea, gave a decent enough reprise of their Britpop glory days.
I was a bit exhausted by the time Muse came on, and this is now the third time I've seen them, but they are an undeniably powerful act live. Uprising – a stomping, paranoid call to arms – was a great choice for the opening song, and Matt Bellamy's guitar playing was as virtuosic as ever. I'm still a big fan of Muse, if not quite as much as after Black Holes and Revelations, but I think I'd have got more out of their show if they'd been headlining on Friday.
THE GOOD: Overall, this was an excellent event: great line-up of major bands, fantastic location in a mountainous, wooded valley, well organized with plentiful and reasonably priced food and drink. The addition of a massive pool, especially given the brutal heat of Saturday and Sunday, was inspired, and the atmosphere was dependably excellent.
THE BAD: Extending the size of the site, thereby stretching the walk between the two main stages, really didn't work. If, as seems to be the case, the purpose was to provide room for the dance area to run all day, it was a mistake, as that area remained deserted throughout the three daytimes. Technical hitches blighted a few shows (though they did shorten the set by Mate, so it wasn't all bad news). And the Korean bands were a little flat this year, though there were several I didn't see who I heard put on a good show (The Koxx, 3rd Line Butterfly).
Korea's increasingly crowded festival season kicked off this weekend with the granddaddy of them all, Pentaport.
With Jisan taking place next week — and with the prospect of two festivals in two consecutive weekends not as appealing as it would have been a few years ago — I hadn't originally planned on going to Pentaport this year. But when I found out that LCD Soundsystem were on the bill on Saturday, my resolve gradually weakened until all it took was a gentle prod from a friend to convince me to go. In the end, a nebulous group of between three and six of us were there, with a bunch of other people I knew in attendance as well.
This was the fourth Pentaport I've been to, and the first since the rift between the event's former joint promoters. As music fans here will probably know, Yellow9 split off from Yescom last year and promptly scheduled a new event, the Jisan Valley Rock Festival, for the same weekend as Pentaport. Because Yellow9 seemingly enjoy closer connections with Fuji Rock — the Japanese festival that runs on the same weekend and that Pentaport used to share bands and singers with — they were able to lure the more famous acts to Jisan last year, leaving Pentaport with a weaker lineup. With Jisan again occupying the Fuji weekend, Pentaport this year decided to run on the weekend before and in a new venue, a big field in Incheon called Dreampark.
Though I had some fantastic (if rather hazy) memories of the old Pentaport site in Songdo, I have to say the new place is an improvement. Open, grassy and reasonably scenic, it is definitely more pleasant overall and hadn't, despite heavy rainfall on the Friday morning, been churned up into a mud bath. The forecast thunderstorms failed to materialise too, and we were blessed with marvellous sunny weather.
On the downside, not having access to Fuji's roster of artists is clearly hurting Pentaport. Though LCD Soundsystem are one of my favourite bands and currently at the top of their game, there were no acts strong enough to compel me to visit on the Friday or Sunday. Ian Brown, who was headlining on Sunday, would have had a certain nostalgia value, but I'd be hard pushed to think of two less inspiring bands than Friday and Saturday's big names, Stereophonics and Hoobastank. Sadly, this was also reflected in crowds that were a good bit smaller than in Pentaport's glory days a few years ago.
As always happens at rock festivals here, though, we did also come across one or two great Korean bands we'd never heard of. Of those, the unfortunately named The Koxx (above) – think a Korean version of Franz Ferdinand with added synths – were the best. Then, of course, there was LCD Soundsystem.
Though not to everyone's taste — one of my friends found them a little disappointing — I thought they were fantastic live. Better still, they ticked pretty much every box for my favourite tracks: All My Friends, Losing My Edge, Tribulations and the uproarious Yeah. Fuelled by beer, tequila and Jager Bombs (bleurch), we let rip with plenty of whooping and preposterous dance moves, as did the amassed crowds, which swelled noticeably when LCD Soundsystem came on. As is invariably the case at big gigs here, the atmosphere was tremendous and extremely good natured. One of my friends, himself of Korean descent, said he'd had no idea that Korean music fans could tear it up like that, nor that such a fan base even existed for this kind of music. With TV here saturated with squeaky, ditzy, cosmetically altered K-pop stars, it's easy to think that concerts in Korea are the sole preserve of excitable teens chanting their idols' names and waving oversized blue light sticks (see here for the full horror). But as with much else here, the good stuff really does exist if you're prepared to search it out.
As for Pentaport itself, though it's been a little sad to see its difficulties, I think the decoupling from Yellow9 might not eventually be as disastrous as it would have been even a few years ago. Though it used to be big news even when the likes of Toto came to town, the live music scene in Korea has improved so much in the past few years that it's now possible to run a whole series of festivals with some genuinely big names. Korea, it seems, is becoming more of a stop-off in its own right and not just an afterthought for performers going to Japan, which is obviously good news for Pentaport and others. For the time being, however, Jisan is undoubtedly the king of a fast-growing heap. And more on that when I eventually recover from the three days I'm spending there next weekend…
UPDATE: Well that'll teach me to try and guess crowd numbers. According to online sources, 50,000 people showed up over the weekend with 27,000 on Saturday alone. The reason it looked quieter, apparently, is that the site is so much bigger than the old place. I'm delighted to hear it, but I wouldn't have guessed anywhere near that number…
Whether a sign of age-induced mellowing or of resignation that England will always be toss at major tournaments, I resolved this weekend — not six days after seeing Low's team lay waste to England's World Cup hopes — to support Germany against Argentina. Though I am half-German myself, I've always had a somewhat ambivalent attitude to the national football team, not least because of their tendency to beat England (the country of my birth) whenever it really mattered.
Along with a few friends, I went to see the game at a place called Kunsthalle, which, as the name screams, has German roots of its own.
As clear a sign as any of how much more interesting Seoul has become in recent years, Kunsthalle is a branch of a "subcultural collective" that started in Berlin in 2000. Made up of a series of shipping containers, it has a warehouse-like interior with a bar, restaurant and a series of exhibition spaces. When we arrived on Saturday at about 9pm, what we saw was not a bunch of weissbier-swilling fussball fans, but one of the centre's regular flea markets, in which small teams of Korean and foreign hipsters offered retro clothes, T-shirts, face-painting and the like, against a backdrop of very loud dance music.
By 10.30 or so, though, the beatnik Koreans were being increasingly displaced by a very diverse bunch of Germans, ranging from young student types to middle-aged professionals and even, it seemed, a few German gyopos.
Predictably enough with German fans, there was a lively but convivial atmosphere, with chants focused on backing their own team rather than insulting the opposition. And by scoring so early, the German team certainly did their bit in prompting a real carnival atmosphere in Kunsthalle. Even by my own standards, my photographs for this didn't come out well, but for a taste of the post-goal mayhem:
My mate who was there said that it was the best post-match party he'd seen at this World Cup, and I have to say I'm inclined to agree. Though it couldn't, of course, compete in scale with the absolute insanity during the 2002 World Cup here in Korea, I think there were certain echoes with those halcyon days. Whereas this year, with what was widely reckoned to be their most talented squad ever, Team Korea had acquired a bit of the "Korea Expects" type mentality that so afflicts England, among many others, the Germans arrived in South Africa with an unfancied team, blissfully unburdened (by their lofty standards) with expectations of winning the World Cup.
Of course, Korea were building from a much lower base in 2002, but there is something in the spirit, speed and togetherness of this German team that brings to mind Team Korea back then. And that, I think, is part of what made watching this German team, and cheering along with the German fans, such a pleasure.
I called three of the four quarter finals correctly (excepting Uruguay) and I actually have a feeling that Germany's glorious run will grind to a halt in the semis — provided, of course, that Spain turns it up a notch. But, more than any time since the 1990 World Cup final — when Germany came heart-wrenchingly close to overturning a two-goal deficit against a Maradona-led Argentina — I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
Of the many challenges that present themselves to the furrner working in a big Korean company, one of the most confounding is surely the system of titles. From the very lowest (usually 사원, or sawon, which translates as "employee") up through 팀장 (timjang or "team leader") and ascending to the giddy heights of 회장 (hoejang, "president" or "chairman"), the Korean employee is defined by his or her title. In many workplaces, staff senior to you no longer have a name, they have only a rank — in three years working together at the inflight magazine, I never once addressed our editor-in-chief even by his family name. He was, simply, Mr Editor-in-Chief (편집장님, pyeonjibjangnim), and no amount of informal chats, bawdy jokes or late-night drinking sessions could alter that hierarchical bond. (An embarrassing upshot of this was that with many senior staff, I was as ignorant of their real names three years into our working relationship as I was on the day we met.)
Of course, Korea is, as we outsiders are always quick to point out, a very hierarchical place. Because verb usage, titles and even words change depending on who you are talking to (on their birthdays, older people or higher ups are wished a happy 생신 [saengsin], while everyone else merely has a happy 생일 [saengil]), titles really matter. As with many other things, I'd often assumed the preoccupation with rank to be a quaintly Korean trait, and something that had fallen by the wayside in the ever-more informal, ever-more egalitarian UK (and the West more generally). But with my job change at the beginning of this year, I was reminded that the fixation with titles — albeit in very different cultural and linguistic contexts — extends across the corporate world and is actually on the increase. This phenomenon, as I learned in an amusing Economist piece last week, is called "title inflation":
When it comes to job titles, we live in an age of rampant inflation. Everybody you come across seems to be a chief or president of some variety. Title inflation is producing its own vocabulary: "uptitling" and "title-fluffing". It is also producing technological aids. One website provides a simple formula: just take your job title, mix in a few grand words, such as "global", "interface" and "customer", and hey presto.
I was (and am) no big fan of the rigid hierarchies and stratified language of the Korean office. But it sometimes seems to me that, especially at the workplace, a relationship built on a pecking order is more natural and comforting than we ostensibly egalitarian Westerners would like to admit. The usual tendency is to characterise Korea's hierarchical set-ups as inherently exploitative; but that, from my almost six-year perspective of working in Korean offices, seems way too simplistic. Though much has changed in Korea itself, I think there is something innately reassuring about knowing that in the years to come, you will be afforded a degree of respect by dint of your length of service and (however mildly) increased rank. Perhaps, with this "title inflation," Westerners are trying to recapture that sense of self-worth that "horizontal" workplaces have done so much to erode.
Or have I just been in Korea too long?

Discussion: Greatest Country Songs
Boys like me and Nick Hornby love lists. (I mean, Nick Hornby and I. Whatever.) Hornby, the author of A Long Way Down, How to Be Good and, most famously, High Fidelity, is known for his staunch organizational skills. The narrator in High Fidelity, Rob Fleming (John Cusack for all you moviegoers), is obsessed with creating lists on almost any occasion. He counts down his top five ex-girlfriends, his top five favorite films and his top five dream jobs—the only stable aspect of a life that's filled with business troubles (the record store he owns sees little traffic) and romantic entanglements (he's a commitment-phobe who struggles with his past). CMT introduced its 100 Greatest Country Songs list in 2003, and it's awfully fun to debate the inclusion (and the rankings) of many entries. Since I'm in the process of establishing my own list of best country albums, songs, men, women, Read More

The Pahang players celebrate the only goal scored by their team-mate Mohd Faizol Hussain against JDT which put them into the FA Cup final on Friday. Pahang won 2-1 on aggregate. - AZHAR MAHFOF/ The Star
PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) head coach Bojan Hodak believes that his men are out of the FA Cup final because "we lost the plot in Larkin".
The former Kelantan coach said that JDT should have wrapped up the game in the first-leg of the semi-finals in Larkin instead of letting Pahang return home with a 1-1 draw.
"We lost it in Larkin," said a disappointed Hodak after Pahang beat them 1-0 at the Darul Makmur Stadium on Friday in the return-leg of the semi-finals to advance 2-1 on aggregate.
"We had everything going for us in Larkin but we failed to take advantage of it when we allowed Pahang to equalise," said Hodak, who credited Pahang for defending well.
He also took some of his players to task for not performing up to expectations, especially in the first-half.
"We looked lost in midfield and some of the players did not perform in the first-half for no reason," said Hodak.
Over at the Pahang camp, head coach Zainal Abidin Hassan was full of praise for his men.
"Thumbs up to my boys. The discpline in defence was outstanding ... they played their hearts out," said Zainal, who last guided the Elephants to the FA Cup crown eight years ago.
He also credited the glorious goal scored by match-winner Mohd Faizol Hussain in the 81st minute.
"This boy can take shots. I told him to go for it when opportunity permits ... and he did just that," said Zainal.
Mohd Faizol, who hails from Kluang, Johor, is basically a reserve in the squad and only gets a break when the regulars are either suspended or injured.
The 27-year-old Faizol said he is now looking forward to getting a shot playing in his first Cup final at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on June 7.
"I'm fully motivated ... I want to play in the final," said Faizol.

Long lasting shine that makes the men come running
5 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2131515 on Feb 07, 2010
I wasn't sure about this lip stuff, but I figured that since I liked all the other Desert Essence Organics line that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. The flavor is pleasantly mellow. Having used the grape shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, I expected a stronger smell and flavor - I was worried it might be overwhelming to have that much smell right under my nose, but it is pretty light. The best part is that this gloss gives a shine without stickiness and it lasts for hours. The whole time it's on my lips feel alive and tingly.
Nice Shimmer

These products have a nice tint and shimmer when applied. I found that they tend to separate into the color portion and the gel portion so you need to massage the tube to mix it back together.

My boyfriend loves grape so i bought this thinking he would enjoy kissing it off me. But i never even gave it a try with him. The taste was sweet with a bad after taste but not particuarly grape in flavour and the scent didn't exactly scream grape either. not very pigmented. and I did squeeze it around in the tube to mix it because i read the reviews saying it was important to do so. Also the texture wasnt smooth sticky and slightly grainy.

I really like this. It may not be my first choice if I'm going out dancing as it doesn't have the staying power that I'd prefer. However, this 'lip tint' is a lovely color/tint, it makes my lips very soft and supple, and the price is unbeatable. I use this around the house mostly, and just before bed. I will be buying more to give as stocking stuffers. ;)
Great new product!

I was looking for an organic no soy lipstick and found this lip-tint. I love it! Although I was looking for a lipstick, I find that this meets my needs. It keeps my lips moist without cracking and there is a little color to the tint. The tint lasts a long time without re-application. There is a slight grape taste which is very pleasant and not bothersome at all. I really like this product and highly recommend!
