Go back and forward, but all is melting like the snow
Taking all from us, all we thought was left to know
On what we treasure falls a dusty snow
Taking us backwards but where we will never know
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track
This strong old blizzard I will let it blow
to undiscovered places underneath the snow
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track

11 weeks and I just vomited and then fainted....
Im 11 weeks now into my pregnancy. Feeling nauseas and throwing up is somewhat normal for me. But now I have gone one full week without throwing up and I feel relatively good these days. But I went to my doctors (I should point out Im in Mexico right now so everything is different) and she pirscribed a pill for me that has apparently all you need to take when your pregnant. It is just one pill and you get your folic acid, iron, vitamin C and vitamin E. All together. Well I took it about an hour ago and then 1/2 hour ago I ate some food. I just finished not only puking up everything I ate, everything i drank, and when I was getting off my knees in the bathroom I passed out, literally fainted right there on my tile floor. I have only passed out once in my life where I had a near-death fever. So my question is what the heck just happened. this is my first baby. And my mother had amazingly awesome pregnancies all 3 times never any vomiting, nausea, or swollen problems. But not me. HELP!

Talk it over with your doctor. I'd suggest having your iron levels checked - I started fainting at around this point in my last pregnancy, and found out I was quite anemic. Started taking iron supplement (iron in the pregnancy multivit wasn't enough) and the dizziness eased & fainting stopped happening. Don't just grab your own iron tabs though - doctor needs to prescribe the right strength. It might not even be anemia... but it might. :)posted 02/20/2013 by prettypreggamomma
i had felt the same way as you, i am 12 weeks and had recently gone almost a full week with great energy and no vomiting, but this past weekend i have gotten sick again multiple times a day. i have also had episodes of near fainting and losing my vision and my obgyn told me these were all normal and i am just having a very rough first trimester. i think the best thing is to just stay calm and contact your doctor in the morning for peace of mind, but it seems like all normal pregnancy symptomsposted 02/18/2013 by cterenzio

|Mike Murray
Michael Murray joined the East Carolina men's tennis program prior to the start of the 2012-13 season after spending five years as the head boy's and girl's varsity tennis coach at Forsyth Country Day School in Winston-Salem.
In his first year with the Pirates, he helped Joran Vliegen and Colin Roller earn an invitational to the NCAA Men's Tennis Doubles' Championships. ECU won 16 dual matches during the season, matching the third-highest single-season total in school history. With Murray's aide, the Pirates finished 86-40 in singles and 42-11 in doubles during the dual match season.
During his five years at Forsyth Country Day, Murray helped guide the Furies to four boys' conference titles and two girls' championships. He also created year-round programs for players of all ages and skill levels as well as a tennis academy.
Murray, a 2003 graduate of Wake Forest University, played four years for the Demons Deacons while Heinchon served as assistant men's tennis coach on the Winston-Salem campus.
Murray ranks among the Deacons' all-time top-10 in singles and doubles victories. He posted 95 individual wins and teamed with numerous doubles partners for 82 triumphs. Both totals ranked third in school history at the time of his graduation.
As a freshman, he set the Demon Deacons' freshman singles record with a team-high 26 wins. The following the year he finished as ACC No. 2 Flight Champion Runner-up and ranked as high as No. 60 in the ITA individual rankings. He finished his collegiate career with 28 singles wins in 2003.
A native of St. Petersburg, Fla., Murray was ranked as the state's top high school player among the nation's top-20 prospects in 1999. Murray helped the Deacons climb from No. 65 in the ITA rankings the season prior to his arrival to No. 17 during his senior campaign.

"Scandal's" Olivia Pope has many Gladiators, but with this massive group of fans comes another group who detests her actions. Unlike actress Kerry Washington who regularly works in real life with the Democratic Party, the savior in a suit Olivia Pope (played by Washington) has been created as A-political although working for a Republican president (who seems to act more liberal on every single episode, specifically when it comes to guns). The hostility towards a powerful African-American woman who has every rich person in town (from the everyday citizen to high-powered political leaders) looking for her to save the day seems to be for two reasons: 1) She's the "other woman" of the president. 2) The president is white.
It's pointless to debate those who are still stuck in the days when interracial dating was illegal or determined to continue brainwashing themselves into making interracial dating taboo. This group will continue to live in the past and spend more time growling at other people's relationships instead of concerning themselves with their own.
However, the "other woman" issue on the show is worth a discussion. The "other woman" may seem like a growing trend in recent television history now that BET's "Being Mary Jane" has debuted its second episode. And although Mary Jane Paul (played by actress Gabrielle Union) is dating a man who is "the one that got away," she just keeps revisiting a married man she dated for four months without knowing he was married. While her excuse before was that she didn't know, she's losing credibility (just like Olivia Pope) for knowing now.
However, what ABC's TV writer Shonda Rhimes and BET's TV writer Mara Brock Akil have done is turn the tables on the other woman. The president's wife, Mellie Grant (played by Bellamy Young) in "Scandal" knows full well her husband is cheating, and at one point she even invited Olivia to see her husband so he could finally get some much-needed rest. In the first television release of "Being Mary Jane," Mary Jane confronted Andre Daniels' wife (played by Robinne Lee) about him cheating. And what did his wife do? First she hissed back at her and seemed downright offended that Mary Jane was honest with her. Then she showed up at Mary Jane's job to ask her random questions like whether they have oral sex and does she have an orgasm each time.
There's a growing curiosity about whether this is the trail of black women on TV. On Thurs., Jan. 9., Chicago radio station V103's host Doug Banks asked listeners if these two shows promote side chick behavior in black women. The Adult Conversation was triggered by a recent Bossip blog.
The problem with this question is it makes the shows seem like they completely revolve around the married guy when both shows delve into much deeper issues. With Edward Snowden constantly creeping back into the news, "Scandal" episodes like "Hunting Season (Season 2)" are a great conversation piece for the rights of the National Security Agency (NSA). "Enemy of the State (Season 1)" episode may have been a nice talking point for the political rights of wives of political dictators. "Sweet Baby (Season 1)" was a superb way to bring up the topic of homosexuality in the Republican party and in the army. And shouldn't "Seven Fifty-Two (Season 2)" make viewers even more concerned with post-traumatic stress disorder and how veterans are treated once they come home? Or how brutal the Patriot Act is when watching "One for the Dog (Season 2)"? Or how jaw-dropping the topic of rape was covered in "Hell Hath No Fury (Season 1)" and "Everything's Coming Up Mellie (Season 3)"?
But if all we take from the episodes is hashtagging #TeamJake and #TeamFitz instead of realizing "Scandal" is one of the few shows with African-American leads that discuss politics and culture as much if not more than a love triangle, then whose fault is that?
If the only thing viewers take from "Being Mary Jane" is the low-hanging fruit about a "ho bath" and gym sex, they'll completely miss out on the heinous business behavior of a family being pimped into being televised for broadcasting numbers. "Scandal's" "Grant for the People (Season 1)" and "Spies Like Us (Season 2)" peek into the journalism industry's dirty laundry, but "Being Mary Jane" is putting the media's desperation for viewers front row center.
Focusing on infidelity and ignoring the rest of the shows' scenarios is like summarizing "The Wire" as a show just about drug dealers and cops or "Sleeper Cell" as just a show about terrorists. Appreciate the layers in these shows. Salute the actresses doing a stellar job of playing make-believe. A dramatic series is meant to be juicy, but it shouldn't be held accountable for cheating that was happening long before viewers knew the power of a white hat.

During the Panic of 1893 and the resulting depression, George M. Pullman's efforts to avoid financial ruin caused violent, deadly strikes. He and his contemporaries faced serious declines in business as many railroads went bankrupt. Pullman wanted to keep his Pullman Palace Car Company intact without laying off any workers.
Pullman's plan was more beneficial to Pullman than his workers. This plan reduced wages and increased working hours. It didn't include reducing rents on the properties he leased to his workers. Neither did it include lowering prices in the company's stores. Rents for leased properties were automatically deducted from a worker's paycheck. The reduced wages meant that many workers were left with only a few cents to feed their families after working longer hours. In effect, they didn't have a living wage.
Since independent newspapers, public speeches, town meetings, charitable organizations and open discussion were banned in Pullman, workers had no recourse to address their grievances or find help. The desperate workers sought help from Eugene Victor Debs and the American Railroad Union (ARU) in 1894. They voted to strike on May 11. Company management refused to negotiate with anyone, and the union called for a boycott of Pullman cars on June 11. Other unions held sympathy strikes for the purpose of paralyzing the railroad industry, and the strikes turned violent. Deaths, property damage and looting in Pullman and Chicago were reported.
President Grover Cleveland, over the objections of Illinois Governor John Altgeld, ordered federal troops to Pullman on July 3 to stop the violence and end the strike. Four days later, Debs and other union leaders were jailed. The factory reopened in August, and the union leaders were fired, but public opinion turned against Pullman.

Date: January 31 2013
Liverpool have signed Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho on a "long-term" contract from Italian giants Inter Milan, the English Premier League club have announced.
The 20-year-old, whose arrival at Anfield was confirmed just a day before the transfer window closes, followed former Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge in joining Liverpool this month.
"I'm feeling very happy, it's a very important step in my career and I'm expecting to come here and play good football to give my contribution on the pitch," Coutinho has told Liverpool's website.
"Liverpool is a great club with great players. We've always heard about Liverpool's history in Brazil. They are the club that have been interested in me and that have showed this interest so I know they believe in me and my football," he added.
Coutinho, capped once by Brazil, started his career at Vasco da Gama before moving to Inter Milan in 2010 and has also spent time on loan with Spanish side Espanyol.
"We're always delighted when we get the players we go after," said Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre.
"It has been a successful transfer window for us, coming off the back of acquiring Daniel Sturridge from Chelsea and now Philippe from Inter Milan.
"I think that bodes well for us for the rest of the season and the future."
Coutinho will be the fifth Brazilian to represent Liverpool after Fabio Aurelio, Diego Cavalieri, Doni and Lucas Leiva.

Latham's and Deming's Appeals, 76 U.S. 9 Wall. 145 145 (1869)
Latham's and Deming's Appeals
76 U.S. (9 Wall.) 145
An appellant has a right to have his appeal dismissed notwithstanding the opposition of the other side.
These were two appeals from the Court of Claims in suits against the United States. They had been passed at former terms, and early at this one. It being alleged by Mr. Hoar, Attorney General, that they involved a question of public interest -- to-wit, the legal tender question -- which he desired, for some reasons which he stated, to have passed on anew, he asked the Court to fix a day at this term for argument upon them, it being stated by him that it was, in his opinion, most desirable that the matter should not be postponed to the next term. After opposition and some delays by Messrs. Carlisle and Merryman, for the appellants respectively, who denied that any question of legal tender was presented in the records and asserted that the cases, whenever called, had been passed on an understanding by themselves, the
counsel of the government, and the Court, that if any such question were properly in them it should abide the decision to be made in Hepburn v. Griswold, * then under consideration by the court -- a day was fixed for the hearing of the cases. When the day arrived the cases were postponed, owing to another case being before the Court. Being finally called, Mr. L. S. Chatfield, with whom was Mr. Merryman, for the appellants respectively, offered a stipulation signed by them in behalf of their clients, and moved to dismiss the appeals. The Attorney General opposed the motion, stating that it was a surprise to him, that he was now prepared to argue the cases, and desired to do so.

Her spray paint of choice is her current favorite color, Rustoleum Sun Yellow. Jamie lives in a high rise condo, so she's got some great tips for managing spray paint in a small space. Three coats of spray paint later Jamie had a new table in a a happy color. I totally get why that's Jamie's favorite color!

When Pierre Hardy's wood and leather sandals for Gap first hit the stores, they were sold out within mere minutes. The urban legend-esque shoes were coveted among the masses, but hardly anyone could figure out how to get their paws on them. Luckily for us, we found a pair for sale and snagged them before we could get our head around the miracle that had just occurred. If you're still feeling left out of the Pierre Hardy for Gap cult, then quickly (and somewhat discretely) get these Design Editions for Gap Suede Boots ($175). They may not explicitly say they're designed by Mr. Hardy, but we know better.

Check your bios settings and see if you can set the video card to use the discrete graphics only. This is not available on all bioses, but if it is there you will have the options of:
Choose Discrete.
Then upon completing the boot ensure the Nvidia proprietary drivers are installed. There should be no need to use the PPA; simply use
That should then give you options for your Nvidia card.
I hope that helps.
Go to: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/ Select your Model (GT 500M Series) Select OS: Linux (32/64 bit) Download linux drivers, run it and enjoy.
did you install proprietary driver? you can use this ppa to install latest(currently 290.10) nvidia driver.
I had a similar problem on my Dell 1510 and I added the xorg-edgers ppa. I have no idea if it will work for you, but if you have ppa-purge installed then its worth a shot.
I have two laptop. The first one is DELL vostro 1510 with GeForce 8400 M GS grapghic card. The second one is DELL XPS with GeForce GT 540 M. I have solved the problem of the first one using:
But I cannot find a good repository for the second one.
Please have a look at switcheroo or acpi-call in order to solve hybrid graphics card problems. google will help.

CCTV, 3rdSpace to deliver mobile ads across China
Jan 18th
BizReport : Mobile Marketing : January 18, 2011
CCTV, 3rdSpace to deliver mobile ads across China China's hungry mobile population may get a few new snacks starting this week. China Central Television (CCTV) has announced they'll now serve up mobile ads with 3rdSpace. China is the world's largest mobile market. Ads will be offered for iPhone and Android devices as well as through WAP portals.
by Kristina Knight
"With over 850 million mobile phone users in China, our agreement with CCTV positions 3rd Space as a leading company in the mobile advertising industry in China. We are working with a number of global brands to create innovative and engaging customer acquisition and retention strategies in China's growing digital economy," said Warwick Hill, CEO at 3rd Space.
CCTV is not only the State broadcaster of the Eastern country, but also the 'most valued and recognizable' brand in the country according to company information. Their website brings in more than 10 million unique visitors daily, and has already accumulated 3 million iPhone app downloads of its free-to-view mobile portal. That number is expected to skyrocket over the next year as more Chinese consumers switch to or upgrade their smartphones. By year's end, China's Ministry of Information is forecasting that more than 150 million smartphones will be sold in the country.
Other interesting factoids about China's mobile ecosystem:
• 38% of China's mobile consumers access mobile web browsers
• Only 27% of mobile Americans do the same
• China's mobile ad spend is expected to reach more than $2 billion by 2012 (Juniper Research)
Entering the emerging marketplace may be a struggle for brands. This whitepaper offers some insights into the region.
The advertising partnership will offer traditional display banners, pre-, mid- and post-roll video ads and rich media options. CCTV says they will also offer brands the ability to 'create and maintain their own dedicated eco-systems' within CCTV's portal.

The world wants cheap but stylish phones. Can Android deliver both?
Dec 17th
Cheap and stylish are more likely to be antonyms when describing mobile phones. But the global market will reward a smartphone that can deliver on both fronts, a goal that Android phones seem best suited to reaching.
That is one conclusion to be drawn from a survey from Nielsen on mobile phone usage by 15-24 year olds around the world. The survey had some interesting insights, such as Italy's position as the market with the highest percentage of young people owning a smartphone (47%). The U.S. was the only major market surveyed where smartphone owners were more likely to be female (55%) than male (45%).
Only one in six smartphones owned by people in the age group surveyed were purchased by parents, so the results can help shed light on what features appeal the most to consumers under 25. For the most part, those features varied by country.
In India, practical features were seen as the most important factors in deciding which phone to buy, with 40% saying price was paramount and 12% choosing battery life. In the U.S, price was also important at 22%, while a QWERTY input was next at 14%.
In China, the biggest potential market for smartphones, only 22% chose price as the biggest factor. Just as many chose the form and shape of the phone, and 10% said style and design. That suggests a promising market for Apple's iPhone and sleeker Android phones like the Samsung galaxy.
But Android phones, which use a free operating software designed by Google, also have an opportunity to appeal to consumers who want a low-cost phone. The versatility of the Android platform to appeal to cost-conscious and design-conscious consumers alike bode well for Android's market share abroad.

Tooth extraction in 30 minutes
By miko on Jul 03, 2007
While people were preparing to celebrate the Fourth of July with travel plans or other activities, I was planning to have wisdom tooth extraction. Not too fun for the holiday :(
I was a bit nervous, so I googled around to find out more about what to expect during the procedure and found the following page quite informative: http://www.animated-teeth.com/tooth_extractions/t4_oral_surgery.htm
I arrived the dental office on time, after a big meal to make up in advance for all those weight I anticipated to lose in the next few days :) I was immediately led to the dental chair. The assistant came and set up the X-ray slides on the light table and other things, the dentist came and chatted with me and reviewed the X-ray.
He administered local anesthesia in the proper location. Moving the needle around a little bit, but still not too uncomfortable. Then, he asked me to rinse and wait for a few minutes.
During the wait, the assistant explained to me about the post extraction care instructions. Changing the gauze every 20 to 30 minutes, and other standard things.
Now the nervous moment I have been waiting for... The dentist came back and asked if I feel the numbness. I said yes, I did. He then injected another liquid (not sure what it is) around the specific tooth, then started to work on the tooth with an "elevator" (looks like a flat screw driver). I felt some pressure but no pain. Then he changed to an "extraction forcep" (looks like a plier). I felt it turning and heard drilling sound. Then I felt he removed something from the mouth, felt more like removal of the old fillings.
Then he asked the assistant to prepare for suture. He began to sew within my mouth. I wasn't aware that the tooth has already been removed. I thought some other part of the mouth was bleeding or something. After a few minutes, he told me, all done! Hmm.. I didn't even realize the tooth has been removed. All was done and I was out of the door in less than 30 minutes.
It was quite a positive dental visit experience. The doctor asked me, what about the other (remaining) wisdom tooth? Hmm.. maybe next time when something becomes wrong with it.

As above, I'm trying to find all linear operators $L: C([0,1]) \to C([0,1])$ which satisfy the following 2 conditions:
- I) $Lf \, \geq \, 0$ for all non-negative $f\in C([0,1])$.
- II) $Lf = f$ for $f(x)= 1$, $f(x)=x$, and $f(x)=x^2$.
I'm honestly not sure where to start here - I'm struggling to use these conditions to pare down the class of linear operators which could satisfy the conditions significantly. Could anyone help me get a result out of this? Thank you!

Honor Your Body. Olympic sprinter, Yohan Blake eats 16 ripe bananas per day to keep his energy and potassium levels high. Athletes treat their bodies as temples so they can achieve Herculean physical acts the rest of us can only imagine. You only have one body and it's never too late to start treating yourself well by eating healthy, exercising, and by getting enough sleep to ward of sickness and stress. Millions of people become debilitated due to burnout and stressful work environments. Honor your body so it can serve you well.
Play to Your Strengths. There is a reason athletes play different positions on a team — to showcase what they do well above and beyond their teammates and to serve the greater good of the team. From the server on a Volleyball team to the final leg runner in a Relay Race, each has a unique strength to move the team toward winning. Don't focus on your weaknesses in the career world because you are not broken. Spend your time and energy sharpening your strengths for success. If you are in a role where you are not able to play to your strengths, consider a new opportunity that will allow you to shine.
Have A Support System. Behind every athlete is a community of support from friends, family, coaches, trainers, and fans that make the work they do a reality. Rally your personal Board of Directors for career support, wisdom, and accountability check-ins. It really does take a village so don't be afraid to ask for help, and be sure to pay-it-forward to others to keep the circle going.
Go For The Gold. For an Olympic athlete, the ultimate success is a gold medal. Give yourself permission to dream big and set high goals. You can always readjust but allowing yourself to dream BIG can be inspiring and provide an opportunity to think about an ideal career scenario that would honor your values and allow you play to your strengths. You deserve it, so design your ideal career by going for the gold!
Mark Phelps set the record for the most career medals won by any Olympian during the London 2012 Games, but his road to success has not always been smooth. Phelps experienced extremely tough times during the years between Olympic competitions when the next goal was not always clearly in sight. His mantra — "Get the dream. Get the plan. Reach for it." — articulates the importance of reaching big dreams by setting daily goals and working incrementally to meet those goals.
Keep the 2012 Summer Olympians in mind as you navigate your personal career journey. You will experience both the agony of defeat and the triumph of victory as you move toward your end goal. But remember to dream big, and approach the goal one step at a time. Resilience is essential and persistence pays, but in the end, passion is what distinguishes you from the competition. What will be your gold medal career moment?

Thanks & Farewell, Glen GoodKnight
From the Los Angeles Times to many a blog, much has been written about Glen since his surprising and untimely death on November 3, 2010. I just finished the November 2010 issue of Mythprint, which is entirely a tribute to the Founder of our unique Mythopoeic Society. Often I found myself nodding in agreement as others commended him as the architect not only of its uniqueness but of its very existence. Although I wasn't there at the beginning (and it was great to hear the stories of those who were) I was a relatively "early adopter" of the Society. Although this blog is less personal than ex officio, today I'm speaking as myself, not as Corresponding Secretary of the Mythopoeic Society. Many of my fellow Stewards have contributed their thoughts and reminiscences already; now it's my turn.
To give you an idea of the kind of person I was in long-ago days of my youth (1967), I once went downtown with some of my hard-earned money to buy an Easter outfit. Of course, I had to stop by the big bookstore first…and what to my wondering eyes should appear but the shiny new LOTR boxed hardcover set published by Houghton Mifflin. That Easter outfit never had a chance. Little did I know that in that same year, thousands of miles away, a young man was coming up with an idea for a Society that would have a profound impact on my life.
One of the things I've often brooded upon is the way that the pivotal events of one's life don't seem pivotal at the time. Only in retrospect does one realize–with a frisson of fear, sometimes–how different one's life would have been if that seemingly minor event hadn't happened. I doubt Glen realized at the time he was creating an organization that would profoundly affect not just his own life, but lives of thousands of others throughout the world. My coming to California was one of those pivotal events for me–I came with the intention of staying a few months; maybe a couple of years if I got a job. That was in 1971. I did get a job, and less than a block from the library's door was a comic book store. On lunch hours I'd sometimes go there to get comics that my brother wanted–he was a rabid collector who couldn't find everything he wanted back East. On the way out one day I noticed a flyer for a Star Trek convention in Los Angeles called Equicon–that upcoming weekend. In a highly uncharacteristic example of spontaneity, my partner and I hopped a plane and went. In the dealer's room was a table that lured me by a slide show of Tim Kirk's Lord of the Rings paintings (his project for his MFA degree). Some outfit called The Mythopoeic Society. Sounded interesting. Had a local group called Khazad-dum not too far from us. Started going to meetings. Attended Mythcon IV in Santa Barbara. These were My People. Hooked for life.
I am forever grateful to Glen for visualizing the Mythopoeic Society as an organization that welcomed scholarship but didn't see serious scholarship as incompatible with dressing up as an elf/hobbit/orc and carrying a banner (or moving a boat, or quaffing a proper 1420). Nor did he assume that the "appropriate" credentials were required for a person to produce valuable research on the work of the Inklings, or any of the related topics that have graced the pages of Mythlore and/or the podia of Mythcon. One of the most valuable characteristics of the Mythopoeic Society is the welcoming home it provides for independent scholars and students. As a toiler for many years in the Groves of Academe, I'm aware that it can be as dangerous as living in Fangorn. Those who transgress the borders of disciplines often do so at their peril. The Canon can be used to blast a promising career to smithereens. As a Librarian it was less dangerous to me that others–we are the Rangers in that forest–but it gave me the perspective to realize how unique and valuable a refuge the Mythopoeic Society offers.
Another aspect of Glen's vision particularly dear to my heart was the combination of of literature with the visual and performing arts. One might even see the Society as his piece of interstitial art. Few have the talent and drive to make a career of the arts, but many have enough love for and talent in an art form that to have no place for it in one's life is a constant ache. To have a place to share one's art with others, to know that someone besides you finds it valuable–that is a great gift that Glen gave to many.
Glen did not just create an organization, he created a place: a place where people of vastly different religious and/or political beliefs could come together amicably to discuss mythopoeic literature and art; a place where one could find friends treasured for decades but seen only once a month or once a year; a place where one's creative talents could be nurtured, could blossom and grow; a place in which one could be both scholarly and silly; a place whose existence can enrich one's life from youth to age and maybe beyond.
So thanks, Glen. I owe you more than I can ever say. You brought me good friends, you gave me a creative outlet, you helped me get tenure, you revived my artistic soul. You gave me friends and memories that I'll always treasure. Those Mythcons of my youth…the sound of harps and pennywhistles, the declaiming of the bards, the glow of velvet gowns and warmth of talk and laughter…you brought me the closest I've ever been to the Hall of Fire in the House of Elrond.
Farewell, Good Knight. May you see your swift sunrise.

This is a weekend where there are three movies opening in theaters. One of them is a kind of superhero action movie. The other is a found footage movie about tornadoes. The third is a simple movie about food produced by two of the most famous people in the world. Unfortunately, the critics in the world have pretty much hated all three of these movies. As such, this might be a weekend to catch up on some of the other films of the summer that you might have missed.
These are the films opening August 8, 2014:
Into the Storm - Arlen Escarpeta, Sarah Wayne Callies, Jeremy Sumpter. A found footage film. This time the setting is a small town and this time it's a series of unprecedented tornadoes that descend upon it. The citizens of the town are forced to run for their lives as one tornado after another hits the town and each one gets bigger and bigger and bigger. We follow townspeople, meteorologists and storm chasers. Critics, however, say that the special effects are impressive, but that the plot, characters and writing are abysmal. Rated PG-13.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Megan Fox, Alan Ritchson, Pete Ploszek. The superhero mutant ninja turtles are back in a movie that has been controversial from the moment it was announced that Michael Bay would be producing the film. The turtles have been re-imagined for a new generation here with a slightly tweaked origin story as they must face off, yet again, with the villainous Shredder. Critics are harsh, saying that this movie might have actually benefited from Bay directing since the current movie is so boring that even little kids who love the turtles might find it frustrating. Rated PG-13.
The Hundred-Foot Journey - Helen Mirren, Omi Puri, Manish Dayal. A film produced by Stephen Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey about the way food unites people. A family displaced from their native India settle in a quiet village in France. They love their new home until the run afoul of a Michelin-starred restaurant proprietress who does not like their ways, their food or the fact that they are here. As the family struggles to get their Indian food restaurant off the ground, they end up in a battle of wills with the proprietress. Can food bring these two different people together? Perhaps, but critics are saying that you should give this one a pass and see something else. Rated PG.

When considering what method I will use to obtain BREAKFAST each morning, I have to assess the situation and make use of the environment. This makes things interesting for me and keeps the staff guessing. This morning I noticed that the staff's hair was beautifully fanned out across her pillow. I tip-pawed up the bed to the pillow and sat down on the edge of her hair. She moved and her hair moved with her. I sat up and moved a little closer. She didn't budge. Finally, I got up and moved as close as I could to her scalp. I sat down, making sure the hair was pulled taut and anchored underneath my furry derriere. She finally opened her eyes, while grabbing her hair at the same time. "OWWWWW! Romeo! What the….??" I just looked at her with my most innocent look and said, "Meow?" She just sighed, unceremoniously pushed me off her hair and proceeded to start the morning's activities, which involved delicious BREAKFAST in my bowl. Success! Want more Romeo wake up tactics?

Continuing on my Korean culinary journey I went for my Kim Chi fix at Assa near Tottenham Court Road. This is a tiny little Korean place which seems to be full of students and very busy. On a wet and rainy autumn evening, this was the perfect comfort food, even though it was stinking rotting cabbage as @FoodUrchin calls it. We had a short wait and was seated next to… [Read More]
Simply Korean with a free facial at Assa
Kim Chee, Golders Green
London has never been great for Korean Restaurants. There used to be a superb one in Aldgate with home cooked Korean food and now there are a few around the West End. The good news is that several new places have sprung up in NW11, just opposite Tokyo Cafe. Kim Chee is one of these, serving honest Korean fare at very reasonable prices. I must admit that don't know that… [Read More]

With Tales of the Forgotten Melodies, Frenchman Wax Tailor (WT) introduces his 2005 full-length debut to America, and this instrumental effort just may be one of the most cinematic hip-hop efforts ever created. WT admits to being influenced by American instrumentals like DJ Shadow and RJD2, yet this album doesn't show any blaring similarities to their works. His mostly down-tempo creations are often moving enough to serve as soundtrack music to an indie drama or thriller. True to the title of this album, WT's specialty is mining emotive melodies and reanimating them with a hip-hop undertone.
On the album's most haunting track, "How I Feel," WT lays down thick drums and tops them off with an assortment of laidback horns, somber strings and some bluesy sampled vocals. This mix of rich percussion, moody samples and vocal snippets is used often. But WT's sound isn't all about the dramatic instrumentals. On "Damn That Music Made My Day," he pays homage to his favorite hip-hop tracks by expertly sewing together a mix of samples from EPMD, Jeru, BDP, Digital Underground, Eric B & Rakim and more. Then he connects with North Carolina's criminally slept-on true schoolers The Others on the high-energy hip-hop flashback "Where My Heart's At." As The Others appear again on the equally impressive "Walk The Line," it's evident that WT has an ear for quality, under-the-radar MCs.
The one major drawback to this album is Wax Tailor's tendency to sometimes try and emulate the sounds of trip-hop pioneers Portishead. On songs like "Our Dance," the sci-fi vibe and Charlotte Savary's Beth Gibbon-esque vocals simply sound too akin to their eerie resonance. The suspenseful "Don't You Remember" suffers from a similar fate. These tracks aside, Tales of the Forgotten Melodies proves to be an exceptional debut. Hopefully, listeners stateside pick up on it as much as they have in Wax Tailor's native France.
