Finders keepers: Guy's top 20 films of 2011
To insert a slightly clunky line into a Frank Sinatra classic: when I was 28, it was a very good year. At least, I think so. So often, when I tell a friend or colleague that this has felt like the richest 12 months for cinema-gathering of my admittedly brief career as a film journalist, I'm met with hard Paddington stares or outright opposition. It's been a weak year, I'm told, and I'm handed the slate of current Oscar frontrunners (peppered with unremarkable titles as "The Help" and "War Horse," with only one cracking the list below) as evidence.
Which, well, yes. If a year in a film is measured by its head-prefect awards contenders and multiplex behemoths alone, then 2011 hasn't been the strongest of vintages (even if it doesn't strike me as markedly worse, by those standards, than 2009 or 2010). But like most artforms splintered by the array of options and platforms in the 21st century, cinema now requires a little bit of legwork to find the goods, and dedicated cineastes didn't even have to wade too far into the fringes to find the good stuff: a banner year for British film, a strong showing for American indies and a healthy crop of challenging, festival-grown foreign hits. Seek and ye shall find (and keep).
In short, I liked a lot of films this year. So many, in fact, that the running list of possible Top 10 material was beginning to run worrying long by September, when Venice added its annual donation of treasures. By the time I'd finished playing festival catch-up at the London Film Festival in October, I was beginning to secretly hope I wouldn't love too many of the late-year prestige releases; the thought of what I had to leave out was getting disheartening. It didn't work: earlier this month, a wild card arrived, five years in the making (and waiting), that undid the house of cards yet again. So it was that I decided on a Top 20 instead of a Top 10: still ranked, so the sticklers can stop counting halfway if they wish, but a more rounded reflection of the films that fired me up this year.
Even then, there were painful omissions. I toyed with a Top 25, before realizing that there were enough films to widen the goalposts even further if I let them; a line had to be drawn somewhere. Looking at the list I finally, after much doleful deliberation, assembled below, I can't believe that everyone's favorite foreign-language film of the year, "A Separation" isn't on it: Asghar Farhadi's film is an undenied marvel, and yet there's room in my heart to love more than 20 films this year, believe it or not. (On a side note: I'm surprised that this is the most English-language-dominated year-end list I've yet assembled. Coincidental or otherwise, I suppose it makes a change from French productions topping my list for the last three years running.)
Other films that were all in various drafts of this list at one point or another: "Shame," "Senna," "Pina," "Beauty (Skoonheid)," "Arrietty," "I Wish," "The Myth of the American Sleepover," "Rango" and, yes, "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol." On another day, in another mood, any of them could have made the cut; I can't wait to see each one of them again.
Before we get started, a note for those who are unfamiliar with my year-end lists: I am privileged enough to attend a number of film festivals where I get to see many outstanding films that won't hit U.S. screens until the next year (and, sometimes, beyond). I could wait until the year of their release to include them (which is the perfectly sensible approach that Kris takes), but I choose not to: writing an appreciation of a film nearly two years after I saw it feels false to me, and with many festival standouts struggling to find distribution at all, why not fly the flag for them earlier?
All of which is to say there are a few titles in the Top 20 that you might not yet have had an opportunity to see: please don't think of it as obscure showing-off, but rather as planting a flag for films you should be looking forward to. And with that, here's my Top 20 -- as always, do share your thoughts in the comments.
Directed by Tarsem Singh
In a mostly uninspired year for multiplex fare, only three big, silly blockbusters really rocked me: if "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" and "The Adventures of Tintin" were a little too machine-tooled to crack the final list, Tarsem's rapturously beautiful swords-and-sandals-and-fetishwear spectacular, however, is sufficiently bonkers to stand as an auteur statement independent of its audience obligations. Reaching new highs in multiplex homoeroticism ("Will you go south with me, or the way of the lady?" Stephen Dorff growls to Henry Cavill), the film's singular styling is as refreshingly unhinged as its mythology.
Directed by Ulrich Köhler
Two European filmmakers hugged their Joseph Conrad volumes close to their chests in new films: the esteemed Chantal Akerman had festival critics doffing their hats with her languid adaptation "Almayer's Folly," but it was the lower-profile Ulrich Köhler who indirectly came closer to the heart of darkness with his structurally jackknifed study of two foreign doctors -- one white, one black -- who respond in radically different ways to the feverish advances of the Cameroonian landscape. My highlight of February's Berlinale, where it won the Best Director award, it's still seeking a U.S. distributor -- here's hoping that changes in 2012. (Longer review here.)
Directed by Michel Hazanavicius
Should the Academy crown Michel Hazanavicius's frisky silent-movie tribute 2011's Best Picture in two months' time -- which I sense they will -- I expect the club of detractors will extend even to some of those critics who were enchanted by its elegant, film-drunk game-playing at its morning press screening in Cannes, days before it became A Harvey Weinstein Cause. Their loss, I say; the film's a lark, certainly, but it's also a thoughtful and heartsore one, mourning departed artists and artforms even as it ultimately, joyously, celebrates the elasticity of it own medium. Cute dog, too. (Longer review here.)
Directed by Tomas Alfredson
I've heard a lot of people complain that Tomas Alfredson's wistfully stately adaptation of John le Carré's knotty espionage novel -- a more evocative and affecting watch than the beloved 1970s TV miniseries, for my money, sticklers be damned -- is impossible to follow. It's not an issue I have, for even if the spot-the-mole puzzle plot had left me behind, it'd still be of secondary importance: this is a film actively about tweed, cigarette smoke and a period fading before its inhabitants' own eyes. As affecting a tale of professional transience, in its own way, as "The Artist," though the final outlook is a lot less rosy. (Full review here.)
Directed by Cary Fukunaga
Contemporary cinema wasn't exactly crying out for another adaptation of Charlotte Brontë proto-feminist Gothic romance, even if the last major go-round, the 1996 Franco Zeffirelli-Charlotte Gainsbourg edition, left room for improvement. Wisely, then, Fukunaga's airily traditional take aimed to be definitive rather than subversive, and squarely hit its target with bang-on casting (Mia Wasikowska's just-askew beauty is ideal, while Michael Fassbender's rough dourness balances his sexed-up taked on Rochester), astute rejigging of the familiar narrative and Adriano Goldman's exquisite pastel-and-gold lensing, its embrace of natural light keeping it fresher than any postmodern tinkering might have.
Directed by Lars von Trier
From "Contagion" to "Kaboom," "Take Shelter" to "Another Earth," filmmakers in 2011 seems determined to announce the end of world as we know it. That it fell to Lars von Trier to formally bring on the apocalypse was hardly surprising; that he did so with one of his most lyrically ruminative films to date, with nary a clitoridectomy in sight, was perhaps a little more unexpected. Its diagnosis of humanity cleverly filtered through a see-sawing character study of two sisters who may as well be named Depression and Anxiety, brilliantly played by Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kirsten Dunst, "Melancholia" is a silent alarm that couldn't have been more misleadingly advertised by the requisite media furore surrounding its maker. (Full review here.)
Directed by Gerardo Naranjo
"That could be a crossover hit," I remarked to a colleague as we left a screening of Naranjo's blazing formalist drug-cartel thriller, a commendably cool Oscar submission from Mexico, only to be met with a look of gentle pity at my cluelessness. "Are you kidding?" he said. "It's genre fare for people who think Michael Bay made 'Gomorrah.'" He may have been exaggerating (though the film didn't do much business in the UK), but I know what he's getting at: in this bristling study of a young woman's unwitting recruitment into underworld wars, Naranjo daringly ratchets up urgency by slowing the pace, spitting furiously at Mexican authorities all the while. (Full review here.)
Directed by Justin Kurzel
I know at least one entirely respectable critic who had to leave a screening of Justin Kurzel's icily claustrophobic true-crime thriller, which lays out the improbably domestic origins of Australia's most notorious serial killer, to be sick. I like to imagine that's less due to its admittedly gruelling but intelligently measured violence than its overwhelmingly oppressive prefab-suburban atmospherics. Eitherway, it's a testament to the riveting control wielded by debut helmer Kurzel, not to mention devastating work by a mostly non-pro ensemble, that the critic in question actually came back: I couldn't have left if I'd tried. (Full review here.)
Directed by Julia Leigh
A distinctly frosty reception greeted Australian novelist Julia Leigh's compulsively precise debut film on the opening night of the Competition at Cannes, though even that couldn't match the impressive chilliness of the film itself: a ruthlessly calm deconstruction of the very personal politics of fucking, its every frame appears to have been assembled with tweezers. That startling auteurist austerity only makes the emotional chaos inside the head of protagonist Lucy (an astonishing Emily Browning), a directionless girl whose yen for human feeling leads her into an unusual brand of prostitution, all the more evident, not to mention upsetting. (Longer review here.)
Directed by Alma Har'el
It's been an invigorating year for documentaries, not that the Academy's typically safe-playing shortlist in the category would have you know it. Israeli-American video artist Alma Har'el's feature debut is the most striking non-fiction statement left off (or indeed on) the list: a freeform study of manifold bruised-and-broken lives in the eerie virtual no-man's-land of California's Salton Sea, the film is unafraid of aestheticizing feeling, which isn't to say that it shies away from it. "A doc can dance," has been Har'el's mantra in promoting this heartbreaking hybrid, wild with music and symbolism: purists may demur, but her subjects seem eager for the light. (Full review here.)
Directed by Andrea Arnold
"Love is a force of nature" ran the tagline for Andrea Arnold's uncompromising new take on the Emily Brontë chestnut -- the year's second Brontë adaptation to use simple, literal fresh air to resuscitate a text, though to markedly more aggressive effect. It may have been stolen from "Brokeback Mountain," but it wears well on a film that exposes the primal nature of Heathcliff and Cathy's truthfully unromantic romance by equating them with the elements: breathtakingly shot in the Academy ratio by Robbie Ryan, this is the rare literary film that finds a new visual and aural turn of phrase, buffeted by a howling Yorkshire wind, for the source's every word. (Full review here.)
Directed by Andrey Zvyagintsev
A crisp, cruel comedy of manners that admittedly isn't very funny at all, Zvyagintsev's third feature is the film I've found myself most strenuously recommending to undecided festival attendees, not least because it won't be landing on arthouse screens for a while yet. (It opens in the U.S. in May.) It's been a tough sell, though. Those not turned off by the promise of a study of a middle-aged woman in moral crisis might still be wary after the dour disappointment of the director's last film, "The Banishment," to which the fine-bone-china delicacy, economy and wit of his latest, the cinematic equivalent of Chekhov short story, couldn't be a sharper tonal about-face.
Directed by Lynne Ramsay
In its own way as exemplary a cinematic reappropriation of literary source material as "Wuthering Heights," Lynne Ramsay's searing adaptation of Lionel Shriver's unlikely bestseller -- a worst-case parenting scenario tinged with post-Columbine era panic -- succeeds by making every decision a standard prestige filmmaker wouldn't: eschewing voiceover (and, frequently, dialogue) where the novel's epistolary nature instructs otherwise, bravely soaking the screen in red where more timid symbolism might do, her filmmaking bravado happily refuses to buckle to a peak-form Tilda Swinton. It simply can't be nine years until Ramsay's next film. (Full review here.)
Directed by Whit Stillman
Continuing the theme of too-long-absent auteurs, Whit Stillman's gleefully daffy campus bauble, his first feature in a criminal 13 years, is the first out-and-out laugh riot to crack one of my top 10 lists since 2008. Does that make it my favorite comedy of the last four years? Quite possibly. There's no one in American cinema at the moment who writes quite like Stillman: his complexly structured, patiently planted gags, as literate on the subject of academic etiquette as on the spiritual properties of anal sex, equal Woody Allen at his loosest. And if it took him this long to find a star as tuned into his wavelength as the never-spryer Greta Gerwig, so be it. A release date hasn't been set yet, but you'll feel a little warmer whenever it lands. (Longer review here.)
Directed by Céline Sciamma
In a year when a number of major releases focused on the often underestimatated emotional crises of childhood, none rivalled Sciamma's exquisite, ideally scaled miniature -- at a compact 80 minutes, neither overworking nor diminishing its protagonist's drama -- for compassion, perspicacity or, indeed, reach. The sexual and gender insecurities of a pre-teen girl over a single summer would appear to be a dangerously fragile subject for film treatment, yet, aided by an alert, resourceful lead performance by newcomer Zoé Héran, Sciamma artfully avoids assumptions about her past or future, appreciative of all the directions this uncertainty could lead.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos
The Oscar-nominated critics' darling "Dogtooth" may not have been director Yorgos Lanthimos's debut, but his follow-up, "Alps," still had 'difficult second album syndrome' stamped all over it from a distance: following the stark allegorical nature of his breakthrough, Lanthimos has headed into headier, still more cryptic territory, both structurally and thematically, for his latest. In mapping the inevitable chaos that occurs when an enigmatic group offers a relative-replacement service for bereaved families, the film splits narratives as nervily as its characters split identities. The results could descend irretrievably into murk, but Lanthimos keeps a tight leash on his delicious absurdities: it's a cool formalist freakout that somehow made me want to call my family. (Longer review here.)
Directed by Sean Durkin
"Alps" would make one hell of a double feature with "Martha Marcy May Marlene," another brisk meditation on the alternate selves that ultimately shadow and threaten their unhappy inventors, and the most assured and searching debut in a year of many. That last tag could apply with equal aptness to writer-director Sean Durkin or actress Elizabeth Olsen, whose open, never-quite-readable face does much of the legwork in this ingeniously structured, deceptively unfussed horror film about a cult escapee trying, with limited success, to deprogram herself in the presence of her bewildered sister. "Settles upon you like a slow strangle," I wrote after my first viewing; seven months later, I haven't shaken it off. (Full review here.)
Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn
"I won't lie to you, I pretty much want to have sex with this movie," I tweeted after seeing "Drive" late in the Cannes Film Festival, the pop-fuelled sugar rush of Nicolas Winding Refn's hot, clipped, nasty fast-car thriller having impeded any more profound insights. Two viewings later, I have yet to find a better way to describe how the film makes me feel: there's an inclination among some critics to distrust immediate sensual pleasure, and I've heard many complain that there's nothing beneath the surface of "Drive," as if its surface, wrapped up in an all-purpose crush on Los Angeles, Walter Hill movies and Ryan Gosling himself, isn't explicitly what this gorgeous gut-punch is about. (Full review here.)
Directed by Kenneth Lonergan
This time last year, I wouldn't have believed that I'd be in a position to consider "Margaret" for any 2011 list at all, much less that it'd be a fierce contender for the #1 spot. (It's been flip-flopping with the next film for the past month, believe you me.) Miraculously, what emerged from the ashes of creative blockage, editing conflicts and legal disputes wasn't just the interestingly scarred sophomore feature we cautiously hoped for from Kenneth Lonergan, but a fully-fledged phoenix of a movie: masterfully dramatized and performed, raging with love and hurt and fury, structuring the aftermath of a single traffic accident as a self-seeding spider-plant of sorrow, and somehow offering the most profound reflection on post-9/11 New York City into the bargain. And we thought we had it good with "You Can Count on Me." (Longer review here.)
Directed by Andrew Haigh
There were plenty of films in 2011 that announced their humane intentions and social currency with more volume and grandeur than Andrew Haigh's wry, raunchy, finally shattering study of an extended one night stand between two very ordinary Nottingham blokes, but nothing this year has felt more like a quietly emphatic landmark. Homosexuality isn't a condition to be evaluated and processed by either the characters (played, in the year's most beautifully welded two-headed performance, by newish faces Tom Cullen and Chris New) or the audience: the chief takeaway here is that love is no more or less elusive, exciting or mundane for gay men than for anyone else. The acute attention to detail of Haigh's writing is mirrored by his crisp, sponteneous shooting style: even its most intimate pillow talk belongs expressly in the cinema.
And there you have it: a 20-film playlist that doesn't just evoke memories of a very nourishing year at the movies for me, but, I feel sure, will provide me with repeated pleasure and provocation on smaller screens in the future. All in all, I feel so good about this year that I'm not inclined even to consider a Worst of 2011 list (consider this my gesture of Christmas charity to Madonna), so here's a recap of the best:
1. "Weekend"
2. "Margaret"
3. "Drive"
4. "Martha Marcy May Marlene"
5. "Alps"
6. "Tomboy"
7. "Damsels in Distress"
8. "We Need to Talk About Kevin"
9. "Elena"
10. "Wuthering Heights"
11. "Bombay Beach"
12. "Sleeping Beauty"
13. "Snowtown"
14. "Miss Bala"
15. "Melancholia"
16. "Jane Eyre"
17. "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"
18. "The Artist"
19. "Sleeping Sickness"
20. "Immortals"
And finally, since I know my "If I saw it in 2011, it's a 2011 film" approach irks some list purists, here are my top 10 U.S. releases of the year:
1. "Weekend"
2. "Margaret"
3. "Meek's Cutoff"
4. "Certified Copy"
5. "Drive"
6. "Martha Marcy May Marlene"
7. "Tomboy"
8. "We Need to Talk About Kevin"
9. "Cold Weather"
10. "Bombay Beach"

Goldman likely to appoint 70 new partners
Goldman Sachs is this week expected to announce the promotion of about 70 executives to partner, in a move that will increase the elite club's headcount to roughly 450, sources said.
It is understood that this year's crop of partners probably will be the smallest since before the investment bank went public in 1999, and will be almost one-third smaller than the 110 employees named partner by Goldman Sachs in 2010.
The unusually small number of new partners reflects a push by the New York company's partnership committee, led by vice-chairman Michael S. Sherwood, to shrink its overall partner count as the securities firm slogs through a prolonged slump in trading and investment banking, both traditional engines of the firm's profits.
Sherwood, who also is co-chief executive of Goldman Sachs' international operations, told The Wall Street Journal that the talents the panel looks for in a partner "include the right combination of commercial success, leadership and values".

Bears Could Fix Defense With Jared Allen
Report: Jared Allen could be traded by Tuesday
Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that Vikings defensive end Jared Allen could be traded ?for the right price.?
While that sentence generally applies to any player, there?s reason to believe it particularly applies to Allen. He?s in the final year of a contract that pays him a base salary of $14.2 million, which means that he?d be due to make $7.5 million over the rest of the year.
Glazer says the ?right price? is more than a third-round pick, which could be more than a new team would want to pay for a guy in the last year of his contract ? unless a new deal would be part of the trade.

What is in this article?:
Lighting Creatures
Epstein managed to create a flexible light plot, he says, "based around some of the larger and unchanging themes and ideas of the play. One constant was that the play is set inside the actual theatre at Trinity Rep. These people had walked into an abandoned theatre full of theatrical lighting instruments already in the air. Another constant was that, unfortunately for the characters, although they had a room full of lights, they are in a world without power. So, we created a very simple plot that could theoretically be run by some sort of power generator."
Characters brought lamps and practicals they might have gathered from their previous hiding spots for a sense of home. "Given their level of fear of what happens in the dark, they gathered worklights and bare-bulbs to make sure that the room was well lit," adds Epstein. "Within this structure, we had the flexibility to shift the scenes to accommodate whatever script changes might arise."
Epstein and Hurowitz got new pages at the end of rehearsal breaks during techs. "We would literally shout back and forth between tech tables as we would prepare a whole new idea to try in five minutes. If one of us had a stronger feeling about something, the other would follow his lead as we put together a sequence," Epstein recalls. "Sometimes I found myself responding as much to a sound or video choice made by Peter as I was responding to the new text. It was fantastic to work that way—designing together and in realtime—and it was so truly and deeply collaborative that it was hard to tell where one person's idea started and another person's ended."
Hurowitz says song selections changed as the show went through rewrites, and each ending required a different tone. Finally, he ended with a lighter sound, "to bring it back to the earlier tone of the show" after a disturbing soundscape that included TV static and the generator clicking off as the lights went to black.

Deportation to Australia for child killer Allyson McConnell despite appeal
- From: AAP
- April 06, 2013
- Allyson McConnell given 15-month sentence for killing sons
- McConnell to be deported to Australia on Monday
- Allyson MConnell left 'drowned boys to rot in bath'
ALLYSON McConnell, the Australian mother convicted of drowning her two young sons in Canada, will be deported to her homeland next week, a report says.
Allyson McConnell's jail term ended yesterday after she served 10 months of her 15-month sentence in an Alberta hospital.
Allyson McConnell drowned in two young sons in bath. court told
Albertan authorities had been expected to ask the Canadian government to stop the deportation so that appeals could be heard.
But Canada's federal Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews said Alberta's justice minister was too late in asking for the stay of deportation when McConnell's case was reviewed by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada on Friday (Saturday AEDT), local CBC news reported.
The review follows protests by McConnell's former husband, Curtis McConnell, and Alberta authorities who lodged appeals against what they deemed was the Australian's lenient sentence and conviction for manslaughter, rather than murder.
They wanted the appeals to be heard before she leaves Canada. The deportation review scheduled McConnell to leave on Monday (local time) for Australia, CBC reported.
Until then, 34-year-old McConnell would remain in the Edmonton psychiatric hospital.
Meanwhile, Alberta Justice Minister Jonathan Denis said the prosecution service would press ahead with its appeals, CBC reported.
"Whether or not Ms McConnell remains in Canada, Albertans can be assured that the prosecution service is pressing ahead with these appeals and will continue to seek justice in this case,'' Denis said in a statement.
McConnell, who suffered depression, drowned 10-month-old Jayden and two-and-a-half-year-old Connor in the bathtub of their family home in Millet, Alberta, in 2010.
The judge who convicted McConnell of the lesser charge of manslaughter found she did not have the requisite intent for murder.
McConnell moved to Canada in 2005 from her home on the NSW Central Coast, met Curtis McConnell and they married.
However, the marriage soured and the McConnells were engaged in a bitter divorce before the deaths, with McConnell desperate to take her boys back to her home town of Gosford.

Region 6 News Release: USDL-OSHA-99-61-5-18
Tuesday, May 18, 1999
Contact: Diana Petterson or Beverly Sepulveda
PHONE : (214) 767-4776, ext. 222 or 221
The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Spirit Homes, Inc., Conway, Ark., with a proposed penalty of $87,000 for alleged safety and health violations as the result of a complaint inspection concerning working conditions, announced the U.S. Department of Labor.
Spirit Homes, Inc., which employs approximately 500 employees at its facility at 830 McNutt Road in Conway manufactures mobile homes.
According to Paul J. Hansen, Jr., OSHA area director in Little Rock, the alleged violations were discovered during an inspection conducted between December, 1998, and April 4, 1999. The company was cited for two serious violations, one willful violation, one Repeat violation, and three other-than-serious violations.
The serious violation consisted of the following:
- Failure to provide proper fall protection for employees working on elevated surfaces
- Failure to insure employee's use of protective helmets
The willful violation resulted from the failure to provide fall protection for employees working from scaffolds.
The repeat violations resulted from the failure of the employer to provide training to employees concerning the physical and health hazards of chemicals in the work area.
The other-than-serious violations consisted of the following:
- Failure to properly maintain injury and illness records
- Failure to provide employees with proper information concerning the use of respirators
- Failure to provide a cover for an electrical installation
A serious violation is one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result.
A willful violation exists under the OSH Act where the evidence shows either an intentional violation of the OSH Act or plain indifference to its requirements.
A repeat violations is one for which the employer has been cited previously for a substantially similar condition and the citation has become a final order.
Hansen stated that it is "incumbent upon employers to develop, implement, and maintain safety and health programs that will provide protection to employees from the hazards that may be present in their workplace". Employers or workers who have questions concerning safety and health may contact the Little Rock Area Office at (501) 324-6291. They may also take advantage of the free consultation offered by the Arkansas Department of Labor Consultation Service at (501) 682-4522.
Spirit Homes, Inc., has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to comply with the citations, request an informal conference with the area director or contest the citations before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

It was so yummy! I made it in a cake pan lined with parchment paper. The cake came out beautifully.
I baked mine in a 9" square springform pan and used 2 grade A large eggs instead of grade A extra large eggs. The cake part is not real sweet but because there is enough struesel to completely cover the top of the cake, the end result is a cake that had, IMO, the perfect amount of sweetness.
I love the Barefoot Contessa's Recipes and this beautiful crumb cake is no exception. It was the bomb. It rose beautifully, has a great texture the blueberries were fresh and bold, tart and sweet, simply perfect. The crumb was the pefect icing on the cake. I took it to a bbq and everyone raved about it. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful recipe. Made for Name that Ingredient.

Pshhh, that's old. You have to do this now:
"Glad you're here!"
*awkward and robotic thumb's up*
So does each campaign, including Ada's for a total of 4, unlock a Mercenaries map? Does that mean there's a total of 5 (Urban Chaos which is already unlocked + the 4 maps you can unlock from the 4 campaigns)?
Also, have you seen the video showcasing all of the character costumes on the disc? Like the 32-bit costumes, for example. Just wondering if you can unlock any of these by getting certain ranks or finishing the campaign, though I'm pretty sure these are going to be RE.net unlockables. If you want to see these costumes look up "FluffyQuack" on youtube, he has one video showing all costumes for all characters. SPOILER WARNING though, there is a spoiler regarding Sherry in that video. I've been trying to avoid story spoilers but that one didn't bother me too much. It just made me want to use Sherry in Mercenaries even more.
Another question : do you keep skills points gained in a mercs game even if you die ?
Apparently mercs seems to be the best way for farming skills points...

You don't always need to get an A. I got a B and unlocked Helena. No idea about the others though because Helena is the only character I've unlocked so far.
IkariWarriorKH 4 years ago#15
You don't need an A to unlock chars, only costumes. B rank on each stage will unlock the partner for that stage. Urban Chaos = Helena, Steel Beast = Piers, Mining the Depths = Sherry. B rank those to get those chars. Completely all 4 campaigns unlocks an additional character. Getting A ranks with a character on a stage unlocks their costume. And beating Chris' scenario unlocks steel beast while beating Jake's scenario unlocks Mining the depths. Beating Leon's scenario doesn't unlock anything for Mercs since Mercs and Leon's stage are there by default.

You wont find Miami-based belly dancer Tamalyn Dallal standing still. The performer, teacher, and choreographer also writes books, produces CDs, and directs films. Catch her latest creation, the documentary film Zanzibar Dance, Trance, and Devotion, at the Miami Beach Cinematheque (1130 Washington Ave., Miami Beach) Thursday. A Q&A with Dallal will follow the screening. Zanzibar Dance presents 26 indigenous practices, including religious devotionals, wedding and harvest dances, and trance-inducing spirituals many of which have never been filmed before. In July, Dallal will make her fourth trip to the semi-autonomous Tanzanian state located off the coast of East Africa, where she will screen the film, distribute DVDs to the artists, and host a workshop. Exploring world cultures and teaching belly dancing, Dallal is fascinated by the history and context of the various dance forms she encounters. Her book 40 Days and 1001 Nights tracks her journey through five countries with Muslim majorities. She has repeatedly returned to Zanzibar after falling in love with its music.

I used to not like the red in my meat, but its a lot better than you think. The black on the burnt meat is carbon. Carbon is disgusting. Seriously though, just try a medium steak sometime. I tried it once and was a very medium well no pink loyal steak kinda guy, but now all I get is medium.
dealinator (rep: 263) posted Apr 13, 2012
@dealinator: I have tried less than well done beef (steak, roast beef, burgers) on a number of occasions over the years, sometime inadvertently (looked done outside or in a dimly lit restaurant), and sometimes because it was either that or nothing where I happened to be at the time, and to this day I really can't stand anything less that 100% well done. If there's only a slight trace of pink, I can hold my breath and not chew it too much and swallow it quickly like taking some awful medicine. It's definitely not enjoyable for me. Anything more than a slight trace of pink and I literally gag from the taste and texture of it.
I understand that I'm in the small minority on this matter, but it always baffles me that most people prefer under-cooked beef while they would never accept any other meat that way.

fluffy, did you know there are parrots that eat sheep? lol Well I like my meat either so cooked it's almost cripsy on the edges or a nice medium rare, heavy on the blood. It just depends on the cut. Prime rib has to be a little bloody or what's the point? lol...

That's why it seems counterintuitive for the state to sell the 52-year-old, 16-story building for just $4.6 million. Auditor General Jack Wagner thought so, too, which is why he tried to convince the Department of General Services to hold off.
But James P. Creedon, who heads the agency, makes a compelling case that it's in the interest of taxpayers to sell now. He estimates that by moving state offices to rented space, the state will save $14 million over 20 years because it won't have to maintain or rehabilitate the State Office Building.
The building had an assessed value of $14.9 million, but the state didn't get any takers willing to pay that much. Last year, the Buncher Co. bid $4.5 million, but later withdrew the offer. This time around, only one bidder met the minimum asking price, River Vue Associates LP, an affiliate of developer Millcraft Industries, which also owns and is redeveloping the former Lazarus-Macy's and G.C. Murphy buildings Downtown. Which recalls another rule of real estate: A property is worth only what someone will pay for it.
Still, why didn't the state wait to see if the real estate market and economy would improve enough to drive up the price? After all, there is no gun to the state's head making a sale imperative.
The state is happy with the rent it negotiated and Mr. Creedon doesn't think a better deal will come along in the future. The base rent averaging $11.16 per square foot is locked in for two decades. Some state offices will be moving to Millcraft's Piatt Place, where the lease includes six months' free rent and a credit toward furniture and equipment. Millcraft executive Lucas Piatt characterized the deal as "recession lease rates."
The move will get state employees out of a building that has no sprinkler system, whose elevators are aging and where there have been broken pipes and other problems. Mr. Wagner does raise some valid questions about the projected costs of renovation, and he says he will conduct an investigation to ascertain the true costs of the sale and move. But given his stated opposition, he may not be the right party to undertake an unbiased inquiry.
It is clear that, in Millcraft, the state is selling to a developer with proven expertise in renovating and selling housing and retail space in Pittsburgh's Downtown, and that suggests a hopeful future for the building. We're anxious to hear more about plans for the spot. It would be a mistake to leave such a prominent building empty for very long, something akin to turning off the city's porch light.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak warned North Korea on Monday. President Lee Myung-bak said that North Korea will face severe consequences if it "commists any additional provocations against the South"
He said "we will make sure that it pays a dear price". The warning came as South Korea is deploying more long-range and artillery rockets on Yeonpyeong just a few kilometers away from the border which North Korea does not recognise officially.
The naval drills between the US and South Korea were postponed until a later date because of "bad weather"

I do not recommend this doctor at all. I went to him years ago and on my first visit I asked if I could have a certain condition that a simple test would have confirmed. He did not run test and insisted it was not that. After about a month and several office visits after, the next thing I know I had to be rushed to his office & straight to emergency for the condition that I I first went to see him for. His response "I didn't know.....". He does not listen to the patient.
He's a great doctor (Family Practice)! He knows what he is talking about and knows what is in the patient's best interest! The staff was nice too.
I highly do not recomment this doctor.I asked this doctor a question about a family member who was being examined by the doctor and the answer was "Well, how long do you want him to live?" I thought that sort of response was flippant and extremely uncaring. It was rather hurtful to the patient, himself.Seemingly, this doctor's main objective is to streamline his practice by placing everyone of his elderly patients into a care facility inorder to maximize his compensation by the insurance companies.This doctor will not go out of his way to find medical services convient to his patients.Also, this doctor freely discusses snap medical judgments to people unrelated to a patient's immediate family. As in the case where a caregiver was told that a patient's complaints were not to be of concern because the patient was a hypochondriac.Consider this doctor if you are in excellent health and want to be insulted.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Beer Talk' started by Thedrizzle, Jan 20, 2013.
I bought a 2 year old, old guardian an one of the worst beers ive ever had.
Flossmoor Station Imperial Schwartz & Finlaggin Scotch. Bought two of both. Yup I'm I sucker for waxed caps.
Made myself finish the the one of both I opened. The others are in the cellar with the Frangelic Mountain Brown hoping for a miracle.
There are three that I distinctly remember:
1 was a Voodoo Bacon Maple Ale from Rogue... Blech and I'm not sure I want to risk the latest offering either...
2 and 3 were White wine barrel 11/11/11 and Red wine Saison du Buff, both $15 and pretty terrible IMO
Hoppin Frog Mean Manalishi. Worst bomber investment ever.
Hop Stoopid.
Hop on top, gross.
Michelob Cactus Lime. Nastiest beer I have ever had.
Orval Trappist Ale
GI Matilda
Either I'm not a fan of Belgian Pales or both of these were bad bottles
The Matilda I would swear was infected, because I almost tossed cookies on the second sip. It was just rancid.
The Orval I simply didn't care for (it smelled similar to Matilda - only I was able to barely drink it.)
Also, but not quite as bad, a 2008 Three Philosophers that I thought was at least a year past it's prime.
I was able to take the remaining 3 bottles back for a refund.
Buffalo Bills Pumpkin Ale (WTF was I thinking??)
Stella Artois
SN Tumbler (don't kill me! I wanted to like it but it tasted horrible to me, the only SN beer I don't like)
This almost makes me cry IRL....almost...I must be the only Banana Bread Beer fan on this board!
I thought CCB Cucumber Saison was delicious.
Beer of the Gods. Was just tasteless and boring. And Pumking.. tasted like someone stuck a pumpkin pie and bag of sugar in a blender and then bottled it. Couldn't take more than two sips.
Another DFH. This one was Sah Tea or however you spell it, don't care. Garbage..
Did you have this when it first came out? I thought it was pretty darn good.
You must be.
DFH has some funky brews.
Green Flash Friendship brew.
A friend of ours was just in Northern California and knew I loved Pliney and that Russina River is not distributed in Idaho, so she picked up $240 work of beer for my wife without any direction at a Whole foods- picking many Russian rivers and other expensive beers. I am not a huge sour fan, and she picked out many sours- apparently these beers need to be aged. I couldn't tell if the bottle had gone south- or if it was supposed to be that bad. I am a cheap a$$ and rarely drain pour. One such beer was highly rated Deschutes "The Disident"..... yuck.
BROWN SHUGGA. I DESPISED that beer.I might be alone, but I really thought that it was one of the worst beers I have ever had. I choked down the first, waited a few weeks to try it again and ended up drain pouring it. Gave the rest to a friend.
Bud Light Clamato
Accepting all rejected Wells Banana Bread beers, c/o my house. Thanks!
Glibber, feel free to send me all of your 'terrible' RRBCs
Did you age 11.11.11 or did you drink it when it hit the shelves?
Mikkeller Black Hole (Peat)
6 pk of Bigfoot (taught me I'm not the biggest Barleywine fan)
I keep a bottle of every beer I have tried. So as long as it's a new bottle it's a win for me anyway. I might need to rent a storage locker for my bottle collection soon. Also if you can mix a six you will have less regret.
I peel the labels off and store them in a photo album.
Good grief I loved Enigma. Please add me to your Christmas list.
Voodoo Donut (cool bottle, terrible beer), Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic
Yeah the triple was pretty rough. It tasted sorta like cough syrup (probably even worse as it didn't have all the fake sugar to hide some of the massive boozy and astringent flavors.)
Most anything by Nebraska. Anything I have had by them, reviewed or not, has been very good, just not worth the ~ 1.2 dollar per oz price you have to pay for their brews. Like Hop God: 10 oz = 12 dollars where I can get Avery Maharaja where 10 oz for just 3.75 (with Maharaja being quite very tasty). Nebraska makes good stuff, just way too pricey.
Ouch! One of the best porters I have had...to each his own I guess
Would have to be Leinies Summer Shandy. However, it turned out to be the best purchase form my wife. It quickly became her favorite this summer. Close tie for second was the Atwater Grand Circus IPA and an ESB that I think I my mind is trying to block as i cant remember the brewery.
I did like the Leinies vanilla porter and the ST Creme brulee
The magic hat ESB was naaaasty
Mine was a 6er of SN Celebration. Wanted to punch myself in the neck once I took the first drink. Luckily I had a few friends come over a couple days later, and voila, SN Celebration was taken care of.
Thats what makes this board so awesome. Opinions are all over the place.
I take pics of them. Less to collect dust.
Triple Bock....triple bock.
Drank it fresh. I'm not a fan of peppers and to me it tasted like biting into a green pepper
I have to try another Baltic. It may just be that particular style of porter that doesn't jive with me.

Digging for Treasure: A Guide
Digging for Treasure!
A Guide For Those People Who Want Cool Stuff
(or are just oblivious and want to know if digging is actually useful)
Is Digging only for quests?
Actually, digging isn't just for breaking piles of flat rocks up for quest items, you can also use it around diggable areas and if you get lucky, you might get a good item!
How lucky is lucky?
Go ask the other players, they'll tell you to blame US LaTale's abyssal item drop rate or something.
Is it worth using my time for?
Digging in LaTale is like gold mining, you'll use up a lot of time in the task, but if the RNG doesn't hate you and drops something cool (no, not Level 141+ Cherryade), then you can celebrate! Oh, then you can sell it or brag about how you beat the game in a staring contest.
How does Digging work?
Excavation spots doesn't vary by random luck (though their item drop rate does), it's actually an invisible non-mobile mob that spawns anywhere on a walkable surface (there are specific areas that can contain these mobs).
You just use Dig to "attack" the ground. If you miss, then nothing happens (and digging in the same spot doesn't work unless someone defeats a mob elsewhere on the map and it happens to spawn on your digging spot), but if you hit the mob, then you have a chance to get an item.
Whether you get an item or not doesn't matter when you dig up a hole, however, after you "attack" the mob, it's defeated then it respawns in a different place within the same map.
Even with all this data, it is still a data that can't be tested due to the game's item drop rate. However, with comparsions to the information that the Behemoth's mouth in Field Area and Field Fork does the same except with staying at the bottom level of the map, this is a probable theory at that.
Does it matter where I dig?
Yes, it does. It determines which fashion items you can get since each location has a different set of drops.
Is there a list of where each is?
Of course! Just look here: JP LaTale Digging List
(Yeah yeah, I know, but I accidently destroyed part of a translated list and I'm running short on time right now.)
Is there a good market for this stuff?
As of 10/14, not really, since there aren't many out there in the first place. You could earn a pretty penny right now, but it might be better if you wait it out.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
And remember, your shovel is your best friend! (No, drills don't work here.)
Is this out in the current La Tale?
Also I dig and the ground unearths but i don't get anything.
Is that a normal thing?
yes it is very normal unfortunately =.= there is only a small chance of actually getting an item or so it seems
I.. need.. that GREEN MAGI HAT >< STUPID DROPRATE AND MY LOW LUCK ):
Guide was nice, but I was hoping for some secrets lol.
I have a theory about this.....
When you "dig" the invisible mob on the ground you don't defeat it. You do make it move to a new random location, but its not defeated. When you "dig" the mob numbers pop up showing damage like a normal mob, and I've even 2 hit combo'd the ground before by getting the dig spot right away again. I believe that each maps dig spot is one spot that has a set amount of HP and "runs" when you dig it, and that in order to get anything from the ground you have to "defeat" the dig spot.
Just my thoughts anyway what do you think?
Also you lamers need to realize that the most efficient way to dig is to dig every tile on the map once, and go back and do it again. The tiles are as big as your character, and your "dig attack" has quite a bit of forward and a little backward range, so you can do more than just inch forward every time you dig (I see tons of people do this). Holes do NOT spawn past the left and right portals on the map, so you can save yourself a bit of ground everytime.
That was a mouthful, but you get the gist of it, right?
If this is true though, I sense a use for those +element attribute atk weapons for digging, since they apparently give more attack on your shovel.
well ok I can give an example last night I decided to go on a digging crusade lol. I was digging in the red crop field just right of yong gong the map with the black beetles. I unearthed 3 things while digging on my lvl 37 knight. Everytime i hit the "mob" with my shovel i was doing between 10-15 damage. I estimated that it took about 200 dmg to kill each time give or take before i got a drop.....
Now I didn't get anything great lol just a coupe food items (pinnaple fried rice and black been noodle soup...or something like that lol) and an emote book.
I also.....kinda mapped the movement.....and the areas most likely for the "mob to move next. on that one map anyway.
BTW your right abstract in fact you may have made the dig site smaller than it is its quite a large square that you can dig in and hit the "mob". I usually run while digging and hit the shovel ever second or so it send me across a map rather quick and I don't usually miss a dig site i rarely have to go back and find one I missed(referring to my pitiful yet effective attempts to map the red crop field)
Another thing, i do believe that STR has an effect cause my knight did 10-15 each time but my wizard can hardly break 3 dmg each time.....so im pretty sure that STR is attributed to how hard you "dig" the "mob".
The damage on dig depends on Elemental Damage on the weapon that you are using.
the link doesn't work, oh btw i didn't understood well, the monster moves in the map and you can kill it by searching it (even if it takes you some mins to spot it again) ?
I believe that you only have to move 1 tile to be able to hit another one. It has happened to me many times now, I hit one (dig again, nothing happens), move 1 tile and hit another one (dig again, nothing happens), move 1 tile etc.... up to 4 times in a row once.
oh, and how far from the portal can it start to spawn?... (I've found ones like... 10 or maybe more tiles away from them)
I don't get what you people mean by tiles o-o one inch move?
the slow walk tile
Does anybody happen to have a copy of that JP Latale Digging List ?
The link is broken or so I suppose.
Heh, I've gone on digging sprees a lot, haven't found much though.
So far I've found Pineapple Fried Rice, Black Bean Noodles, Sulky Guidebook & Yellow Gem Sandals.
& also I've gotten a 3 combo on them before. 8D
& I think it's a little.. glitchy..?
Cos sometimes I do like, 56 dmg to it, no crit.
And then normally it's just the normal 1/2 .
can someone list the map's that they have found items or digable spots in?

In Tandem Theatre moves back to funny, perceptive 'Apartment 3A'
Can one argue that really great sex proves the existence of God? Can a play in which a woman verbally counts out her simulated, onstage orgasms still be described as wholesome and old-fashioned? Is actor Jeff Daniels' "Apartment 3A," the comedy triggering these questions, really funny?

I completely understand the contest thing. I just thought that if it was possible to do it without turning someone into a mindless hacking zombie in the process, you would know how! :P
About the graphical berry problem. I'm not exactly sure what you're saying there. Do you mean that their is literally no way to make a reasonably plausible sprite transition between the berry growth stages in Firered? That you wouldn't be able to link each berry to its respective tree sprite? You can't think of a way to show the intermediary sprite stages in berry growth but can only figure a way to show one or two? You can't find the different growth stage sprites so you can insert them? Please elaborate a bit, maybe we'd be able to work something out! Even a cheap workaround, or a skeleton that could be expanded upon later would be better than nothing imo.
EDIT: Oh, and another Hoenn related suggestion that I forgot. Emerald made several additions to ability and berry functionality, namely Flame Body and Magma Armor reducing the time it takes for a Pokemon to hatch, the EV reduction berries, and several other abilities receiving overworld effects. I was wondering if this too could be ported to your engine. When it comes to this, I have no idea how much work would be involved, but if you think it could be done, I'd be happy to grab a list of the changes and additions made in Emerald for you.
