Our driver suggested this place, which as other reviewers have mentioned, didn't look very impressive, down a lane. However, we found it better than it looked, with prompt service and a good range of food. What we really enjoyed however, was the "tea" - in nice teapots and china cups. (The restaurant doesn't have an alcohol licence).
Service was good. Very nice guys. Food was ok as well, nothing to complain about as such. I just thought it wasn't the best value. Down the same road you can get at least as good food with bigger portions and lower price at several places (the kind of places frequented by local families and Indian tourists). Notice though, that... More
we were slightly dubious as our driver pulled up at the restaurant (which he had recommended) but really enjoyed our meals. The soothing chicken noodle soup, the chicken tikka, and even the chicken sandwich for those requiring a dose of more familiar food. So good we returned the following day! Recommended
Food was delicious!! Personnel are very welcoming and remember your preferences. The guy simply knew how we liked our Hot Lemon-Ginger-Honey drink and when to serve it. Brilliant!!
The Bamboo Cafe is down a dusty slope between some appartments and a shop. It looks scruffy and nailed together but ignore initial impressions and go there. The food is superb and, as another reviewer wrote, the tea is worth trying. All the food is freshly prepared and cooked to order in a tiny kitchen area by some very skilled... More
Bamboo cafe enjoys a great rating on trip advisor, so we decided to SPECIALLY walk down to the cafe from our hotel . It was difiicult to locate at first , as the cafe is built way below the road level. The initial appearance was really disappointing and the place is shoddy . We still went ahead to try the... More
Arrived in kumily staying at periyar villa home stay for 3 nights (fantastic). Went for a meal here with our 11 year old daughter. Service started well.. Asked if we wanted a beer said yes if cold. Arrived 20 mins later after being put in a freezer, still tepid though. Ordered Fish tikka which was ordinary and not freshest fish,... More
We were in Kumily at Jungle Palace last night , found Bamboo cafe just along the road , set back a bit from main road . Great find , food was superb , service good and nice tea !!! . If near , make the Bamboo your choice , doesn' t look much , but oh the food .
We saw a group of people leaving the night before, saying what a good meal they had, so we thought we would give it a try. It has an appealing rustic ambience, a bamboo hut with white tablecloths and pretty lights. We passed a tandoor on the way in where kebabs were being prepared, and my chicken tikka was delicious....

If you enjoy handing out photographs to people of your family, friends or vacations, then Picture Package is right up your alley. It's located right here under the file menu, under the automate menu right here. It's called Picture Package and what it will do for you is allow you to choose a layout in a similar fashion, uh, as you would find when you go to the department stores. So if you were to take family and sit down and say cheese and all that kind of fun stuff and then, you know, wait a couple of days and then go to the store and pick up this package or have it mailed to you, you'll find that you can do the same exact thing in Photoshop.And once again, you can choose from a layout depending on how many images you want to cut out or give out and then you can then choose to print these out on photographic paper or any kind of paper actually. So as you see here, I'm choosing, uh, two 5x7s, so I have two 5x7s. I can also choose one 5x7 and a couple of wallet size and a couple of these little other sizes. I never did know what to do with these really, really tiny pictures. I've always put them behind my desk and just hide them under books and stuff because where do they go? They don't fit in any frame I can find. I can also choose the resolution and if you're going to print, 300 is going to give you a nice quality. And what you can also do is enable or disable this flatten all layers so that your picture package will give you your file in one sheet or you can have it in separate layers so you can continue to manipulate it. You can also choose to put your own custom text. You can choose file name, copyright information, all kinds of other options that you can use as a label. And if you want to accept the way it is, you can choose to, by the way, choose a source as well. So you can choose to use the foremost document or the front most document, which I have open already in Photoshop but you don't see right now. I can also choose a folder. I can also choose a file. And then choose the file that I want to use. But I'm going to use the front most document and I'm going to click OK. And in just a moment, which, after Photoshop gives you the light show that we're all familiar with by now, we'll have our sheet of paper that has all of our photographs ready to print and ready for us to take out our Exacto Knife to cut out and give out to people. So we'll wait a couple of moments for this to complete. I'm going to go to my layers and as you see here, I have one sheet of paper and I can cut that out. Now, I'm going to show you something else as well. Um, you might want to use this to show people different pieces of your artwork and you don't want just one picture on the picture package itself. You might want to have various images. So what you can do is you can click on any of these images here and substitute. So I'm going to go to my desktop and go to my trip folder and choose another image and that image will be swapped in for me. I can also go ahead and choose a little bit more obvious, uh, file size here. I'll go to four 5x5s here. And I'm going to click one of these guys and once again, I'll choose a different photograph. And I'll click here again and I'll choose yet a different photograph. So I'm going to go ahead and select another one. And once I have all the images that I want for this photo package, I can now click OK once again and Photoshop will generate a new photo sheet for me to print out. So once again, the Picture Package is really a time saver, especially for people who have a printer that is capable of printing photo-quality paper and you want to cut them out, give them to people at a party or at an event. So once again, Photoshop is becoming more and more automated in allowing you, the user, to do more and more things without having to rely on outside sources.

Dawn of the Dead (2004) Review
Written by: Googopqp
Although I hate almost all remakes I decided to give this one a chance. When I first saw it I was young and hadn't seen the original and wasn't a grumpy old snob reviewer who hates remakes, yet :P. And I watched this one and even watching it now it is a good movie, it really isn't a remake of the original except for the fact that they are in a mall. This movie is nothing like the original and is its own film, except for the mall thing, and that is what I liked about this, well and you got a big black guy who is bad ass kicking ass.
Dawn of the Dead (2004) is about a women waking up in the apocalypse, literally. Right off the start her boyfriend is bitten by their 10 or 11 year old neighboor girl right when they wake up and he then attacks her. Now the girl has two zombies trying to kill her and when she gets away she gets in her car and after driving the hell out of there she crashes into a tree. When she awakes she is greeted with a shotgun in the face held by a big black man, played by Ving Rhames who was in People Under the Stairs, and they begin heading to where they need to. On their way they meet up with a white man and a black man with his pregant girlfriend. They all then head to the mall and while there they meet up with the security guards and a truck pulls up releasing more people. They all then last there to survive, or do they?????
This movie, like I said, is so much different from the original calling it a remake would be wrong. In the orig the zombies walk in this they run. Orig there are 4 characters in the mall in this one there are like 10+. In the orig they fly to the mall in this they walk....The list goes on and on. The only thing that is similar is they are in a mall and there is a kick ass black man. :D lol
So with that said, this movie offers a lot in its run time and it is really enjoyable. It isn't perfect, but that doesn't matter because it is a bad ass zombie flick. The gore is good and plentiful for anyone and the acting is good too. Zach Snyder as a director I give him hope, he also did 300.
So definitely check this out if you like zombie movies, and the zombies run so its like, "OH SHIT!!!" and you really can't survive in that, or can you.... :P. This was fun and gory and calling it a remake really doesn't work. Plus there a ZOMBIE BABY how can you not like that? lol. I give this n 8/10!!!!

If you literally want the penthouse condo in the building, then this is it. This condo is the only one in the building like this. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find another condo in panama city beach like this.
When looking, we couldn't find another 5 bedroom condo listed on VRBO in panama city beach!!
This spectacular 5 bedroom, 3,500 square foot condo is located on the top floor, which is shared by only 1 other condo.
This enormous, beautifully decorated condo features 2 gulf-front masters, a third master on the west wing and two additional bedrooms - one featuring full-size bunk beds and the other a set of twin beds.
When you walk in, it feels like the condo is split into two separate wings. Just past the foyer, you have three options:
Go straight into the main living room with a huge wall of windows overlooking the gulf of Mexico
Take a left to the west-guest wing - which features a gulf-front master, second master and a kid's room with twin beds
Take a right to the east-master wing - which features a gulf-front master with separate gulf-front sun room with panoramic windows and a queen sofa sleeper and a kid's bunk room with full-sized bunks
This place is so enormous, you almost need a map to find your way around!
Bedding arrangement
This condo has bedding for 14 and a maximum sleeping capacity of 16 as long as those extra two are kids. :)
The east-wing master is the full master suite, is right on the gulf of Mexico with panoramic views and features a king size bed and a sitting sun-room that has a queen sofa sleeper. The master bathroom is enormous and features a jetted garden-tub, standup shower and toilet room with bidet (yes, it has a bidet).
The guest bedroom on the east-wing features two full-sized mattresses on a bunk bed set.
The west-guest-wing master bedroom is directly on the gulf of Mexico and features it's own bathroom suite as well. The bedroom has a king bed and the bathroom has a jetted garden-tub and standup shower. Also on the west-guest-wing is a second master bedroom with king bed and adjoining bathroom with standup shower. The guest bedroom on the west-wing has two twin beds.
All bedrooms have TV's, app-enabled blue-ray players and there is lightening fast WiFi throughout the condo.

Let's be real, you and a few million others are about to be stuck waiting on a tarmac somewhere or suffocating in a boarding area throng of weary travelers. So, if you've got Nintendo's latest portable handy, you'll at least have a free internet connection to latch onto, courtesy of Boingo. The company's recently announced an agreement with the Big N to make its service free of charge to users across 42 of our nation's airports. You'll be able to take advantage of the gratis goods once your console receives a scheduled firmware update, due to roll out today. Now if that doesn't get you in a festive spirit, you're probably just a mean, green 'ol Grinch -- or a PSP owner. http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/09/n...mmuter-rage-t/

Chinese cold noodles ("hiyashi chuuka")
Posted By Biggie On March 13, 2007 @ 10:59 pm In bento, eggs, for kids, lactose free, meat, pasta or noodles | 392 Comments
Morning prep time: 0 minutes. Last night I packed Bug's lunch at the same time I was plating dinner: cold Chinese noodles ([1] hiyashi chuka) with a variety of toppings: strips of ham, julienned cucumber, egg strips, julienned red bell pepper, beni shoga and a little container of soy-based sauce for the noodles. That way a full bento was ready and waiting in the refrigerator this morning for me to grab on the way to playgroup. I cut everything smaller than the adult version for easy toddler eating.

branding together
Posted by Mark J. Miller on November 11, 2013 02:18 PM
Financial services brands and sports go hand in hand (case in point: the Barclays Premier League). So it comes as no surprise that according to the most recent Sponsorium report, which tracks sponsorship and community investment dollars across the globe, financial companies this year have seen an average of "9% higher requested amounts for philanthropic donations than non-Financial industry brands" — and that the majority of those sponsorship requests are for sports.
According to the report, the "Financial industry's sponsorship activity is focused primarily in Sports," which makes up 52% of the sponsorship dollars the Financial industry spends. Arts came in second when it came to the industry's sponsorship dollars, making that category "roughly 30% more popular than their global average for all industries." When it comes to donations between $10,000 and $500,000, banks and other "financial brands are both asked for and are making larger-sized donations/grants than brands from other industries."Continue reading...

Can Amazon save the United States Postal Service? Well, no, but it can make the long-suffering government agency do something nobody could have possibly predicted—work on Sundays.
Starting this week, the USPS will deliver Amazon's packages on Sundays in the New York and Los Angeles metropolitan areas. The move comes ahead of the busiest holiday season, and as the USPS would end up eliminating Saturday delivery in order to save billions of dollars annually.
Now Amazon has worked out a deal with the US Postal Service, which lost nearly $16 billion last year, for the agency to use flexible scheduling with its current employees to get its goods to customers, according to a press release.
It's a pretty sweet deal for Amazon Prime customers since UPS and FedEx don't deliver on Sundays. Amazon's plan is that the Sunday-delivery option will be introduced to Dallas, Phoenix, New Orleans, and other cities next year and be available throughout the whole year, not just at the holidays.Continue reading...

After fumbling with that glass ceiling all too long, women are starting to gain some serious support among business and tech companies.
Google, Politico and the Tory Burch Foundation have announced a partnership to create Women Rule, a programming and event series that highlights female leaders, their experiences and their advice to their female peers.
The initiative will produce a four-part series in Washington, D.C., to be streamed online via a Women Rule media hub that will also sell Women Rule apparel, with the proceeds going to charities, including the Tory Burch Foundation.Continue reading...

Once mundane, the suddenly sexy US yogurt business is attracting more big players that used to have nothing to do with the formerly sleepy category. The latest: Starbucks, which has formed a strategic partnership with Groupe Danone to market a new, exclusive line of Greek-style yogurt parfaits in Starbucks stores and grocery channels.
PepsiCo was the latest big non-yogurt brand to jump into a category that has become thorougly energized lately by the success of Greek yogurts, led by startup Chobani. PepsiCo hooked up with Germany's Muller brand to introduce a new US line this year.
For Starbucks, the leap into yogurt with the Paris-based parent of Dannon USA represents just the latest broadening of its product lines and distribution channels, which also have included picking up a baked-goods brand, Le Boulange, and tea-based interests such as the Teavana chain.Continue reading...

Goya and Beech-Nut are hoping that a partnership will yield big results from the confluence of three trends: the growing Hispanic population in the US, the proliferation of food products aimed specifically at that demographic, and the rising interest of mainstream global CPG companies in exploiting the other two trends.
The two companies are expanding the availability of a co-branded line of baby food, called Beech-Nut Goya, that launched in April. The baby-food range is being promoted as "Authentic Hispanic flavors made especially for your baby" as it rolls out to stores across America, according to Ad Age. With Hispanics now accounting for one-fourth of all US births as the fertility rates and birth numbers of other major American demographic groups wane, the co-branded line makes sense for both brands.
The baby-food market has been getting a lot of attention lately from non-traditional but major CPG players, including Campbell Soup, which just bought Plum Organics and its baby- and toddler-food lines, and Groupe Danone, the Paris-based maker of yogurt, which at about the same time bought Happy Family, another organic-baby-food startup.Continue reading...

Car brands are busy expanding beyond the average sedan, and now Nissan is the latest to launch brand partnerships that will help sink the Nissan name deeper into consumers' sub-conscious.
The Japanese car manufacturer just launched Nismo.TV on YouTube, part of the brand's major global motorsport content push. Nismo.TV gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at branded products and breaking motorsport stories such as Nissan's experimental Le Mans electric prototype and gamer-to-racer GT Academy.
The collaboration will showcase YouTube branding across the cars of Nismo's drivers as they compete in big-name racing events in Europe such as Blancpain Endurance and LeMans Series, as well as GT Academy winners who've graduated from PlayStation games to real-world racing.Continue reading...

T-Mobile has been trying to find a dancing partner for some time now. Back in 2011, it came close to finding the perfect mate when it flirted with being bought by AT&T for $39 million only to have the whole thing shot down.
But things went their way Tuesday when the U.S. Department of Justice and the FCC approved a merger between Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile and MetroPCS, making the twosome into the fourth-largest wireless carrier in the States and ready to do battle with AT&T and Verizon Wireless, Nasdaq.com reports.
Fourth largest may sound pretty big, but its 42 million subscribers are about half of what each of the Big Two have, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.Continue reading...

Ordering fast food is pretty easy to do, but fast-food marketing execs are aiming to make it even easier for consumers, while also saving a bundle on real estate by opening their new locations under someone else's roof.
Nation's Restaurant News reports that a few fast-food chains aren't spending all the bucks of creating new standalone locations but instead investing in opening up new eateries inside existing supermarkets, retailers, and convenience stores. While nested within a retailer's branded storefront, bringing their food services directly to shoppers also helps to differentiate the stores from their competitors. Such U.S. fast-food brands as Checkers Drive-In, Fazoli's and Huddle House are "investing in nontraditional partnerships," NRN notes, in order to "reach more customers and better serve their franchisees."
As part of its franchising push with sister brand Rally's, Checkers has opened two in-store Walmart locations and is looking into adding more. "It has to be the right type of partnership," commented Jennifer Durham, VP of franchise development for Checkers and Rally's. "With Checkers and Rally's being the most value-relevant brands in QSR and Walmart being the most value-relevant retailer, it made sense to join forces. We wouldn't go into a Nieman-Marcus, because that's not where our consumers live."Continue reading...

- " The pick up from the train station was really good. The guy was really nice and helped us out to buy some bus tickets as well on the spot. Unfortunately the room was very, very cramped (the double bed touched the walls on both sides of the bed) and there was no internet or WiFi on the room. Also it was a problem to get toilet paper. At the reception they said it was not included in the room but at the end of the day it was put in our room by the cleaner I think. "

As colleges around the country crack down on student alcohol consumption, Fontbonne University has received a $30,000 grant to proactively approach the issue. The NCAA awarded the university a three-year, $30,000 CHOICES grant to equip students with the knowledge and support needed to make smart decisions and prevent alcohol and substance abuse. The program kicked off Monday on the university's Clayton campus.
"A committee of seven students and six staff developed our NCAA grant request," said Claudia Charles, director of Fontbonne's counseling and wellness program and leader of the CHOICES implementation committee. "We want to provide our students with healthy alternatives that diminish reliance on easily available, negative coping mechanisms like alcohol. By increasing access to peer support, we will strengthen our campus experience and reduce the number of students who abandon their dreams of a college education when the going gets rough."
The committee planned a variety of alternative activities for the 2013-2014 school year, and it established a social norming campaign to extinguish misnomers students have between perceptions of peer behavior and reality. This campaign includes a peer listening component known as STARS: Students Thinking & Acting Responsibly & Safely. STARS trains students to serve as nonjudgmental listeners for teammates, friends and classmates. The first cohort is comprised of a group of peer-nominated student-athletes representing each of Fontbonne's athletic teams. As the program continues, it will expand and engage student representatives from each social organization on campus.
The NCAA CHOICES program was endowed by a $2.5 million gift by Anheuser-Busch Companies in 1991. Its goal is to help NCAA member institutions and conferences integrate athletics into larger campus-wide alcohol education efforts. CHOICES began awarding one-year project grants in 1991 and three-year project grants in 1998. It has awarded more than $5.7 million to 229 member institutions since program inception.

A struggling actress in search of companionship finds her heart torn between an expert in the art of seduction and a computer with the social skills of the most seasoned ladies' man in director Evan Oppenheimer's technologically flavored tale of love in the 21st Century. Professor Mal Downhey (Tam Cavanagh) has just made one of the most important technological breakthroughs in modern computing; he has created a computer named "Jerry" that can interact with people on an intellectual level even greater than that of some made from flesh and bone. When his unimpressed bosses give the flustered professor two weeks to publish his data or pack his bags, Mal convinces his good friend Jane to assist in proving his machine's worth by running a contest aimed at proving a woman can fall in love with a computer even faster than she would a real man. Now, as "Jerry" and Professor Troy Rollins - aka Dr. Love - compete for the love of a lonely actress named Samantha (Sara Chalke), the very man who masterminded the man-versus-machine scheme finds himself falling for the one woman who could make or break his entire future. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

One of television's most beloved sitcoms gets an overhaul for the big screen in this comedy. Ralph Kramden (Cedric the Entertainer) is a New York City bus driver who has great ambitions and plans to make something of himself one day. However, Ralph's big ideas usually take the form of half-baked get-rich-quick schemes which invariably fail, much to the chagrin of his long-suffering wife, Alice (Gabrielle Union). But Ralph always has a loyal ally in his best friend and upstairs neighbor, Ed Norton (Mike Epps), a sewer worker who also has a wife who is weary of his antics, Trixie (Regina Hall). Alice and Trixie have a plan to come up with the down payment for a dream house: a suburban duplex that's being eyed by a shady developer (Eric Stoltz). But when Ralph and Ed decide to spend their savings on training a stray mutt for the New Jersey dog races, they threaten both couples' futures. Based on the classic Jackie Gleason and Art Carney series, The Honeymooners also stars John Leguizamo. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) and Lt. Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford). Almost immediately upon arrival, Monk witnesses the killing of the Latvian Ambassador. NYPD Captain Cage (Mykelti Williamson) thinks that the motive was political, but Monk suspects otherwise. Even so, Monk wants no part of the investigation--until Cage tells him that unless he helps find the murderer, he will not be allowed access to Warrick Tennyson (Frank Collison), the man who may or may not be able to solve the killing of Monk's beloved wife Trudy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Christmas season just got a lot less joyous in this very dark comedy. Willie T. Stokes (Billy Bob Thornton) is a con man and a thief who teams up with his friend Marcus (Tony Cox), a midget, for a very special scam each year during the holiday season. Willie gets a job as Santa Claus at a shopping mall, his pal tags along as an elf, and they use their employee status to crack mall security and rob stores blind just before Christmas. However, there's one flaw to this plan -- Willie is a bitter, foul-mouthed and perpetually grouchy alcoholic who doesn't care for kids, and it's all he can do to keep himself from getting fired while on the job. The mall's manager (John Ritter, in his last film appearance) is certain something's wrong with the Santa he's hired, so he asks the mall's chief of security (Bernie Mac) to do some research on Willie. Meanwhile, one of the kids Willie is forced to talk to becomes a regular customer; overweight, awkward, and the frequent target of bullies, the boy manages to arouse something like sympathy from Willie, who tries to give him some advice and develops something vaguely resembling Christmas sprit along the way. Bad Santa was directed by Terry Zwigoff, who enjoyed previous success with Crumb and Ghost World. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A twenty-something student finds himself caught between contemporary American culture and the long-standing traditions of his family in this independent drama. Sureel (Aalok Mehta) is a college student in his last year of studies, and things seem to be going well for him -- he's nearly completed his degree in music, his grades are good, he has a cute girlfriend, and he sings with a local rock band whose career is on the upswing. However, Sureel's father (Paresh Rawal) doesn't know about most of this; Sureel is a first generation Indian-American, and his immigrant father wants his son to become a doctor -- and would not be happy to learn his son's girlfriend is Caucasian. Sureel's dad eventually learns the truth about his son's college career, and is quite furious over the news, but his anger is eased when he discovers Sureel has broken up with his girlfriend and has started dating a fellow Indian-American, Maya (Sheetal Sheth). But Sureel and Maya's parents quickly begin arranging a marriage that the students aren't the least bit prepared for, and Sureel's tensions with his father begin to reach the breaking point. Just as Sureel has enough problems to deal with, he finds himself on the outs with his band, and soon takes a gig with another group; as luck would have it, Sureel finds himself facing his old bandmates head to head in a campus Battle of the Bands. American Chai was shown in competition at the 2001 Slamdance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Best Feature. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The 1995 novel by Dr. Gene Brewer becomes this drama from director Iain Softley. After a mugging incident at New York's Grand Central Station, Prot (Kevin Spacey), a man who claims to be an alien from the planet K-PAX, is turned over to a public mental hospital and the care of Dr. Mark Powell (Jeff Bridges). When medication fails to alter Prot's insistence that he is visiting from another world on a fact-finding mission, Powell gets more involved with his patient, who seems to have a calming effect on the other residents of his ward. At first convinced that Prot is a delusional who can be treated, Powell begins to wonder if his bizarre patient's story is true, particularly after the hospital's doctors find that Prot possesses the baffling ability to see ultraviolet light. As the date grows nearer when Prot claims he must leave Earth (a "class BA-III planet"), Powell becomes increasingly concerned that a psychiatric breakthrough must occur by then. K-PAX (2001) co-stars Alfre Woodard and Mary McCormack. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Based on the novel by Hubert Selby Jr., this gritty drama concerns four people trapped by their addictions. Harry (Jared Leto), and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) are impoverished heroin addicts living in Coney Island, NY, while Harry's girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) is a fellow addict trying to distance herself from her wealthy father. Harry dreams of scoring a pound of smack, from which he could make enough money to open a clothing boutique with Marion, but so far he and his friends can barely scrape by supporting their own habits. Meanwhile, Harry's mother Sara (Ellen Burstyn), who spends her days watching television, is told she has the opportunity to appear on her favorite game show; wanting to lose enough weight to fit into her favorite red dress, she visits a sleazy doctor who gives her a prescription for amphetamines. Soon Sara has a drug habit of her own that is spiraling out of control. Requiem for a Dream was directed by Darren Aronofsky, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Selby; it was Aronofsky's second feature, following his acclaimed independent film Pi. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The push and pull of familial bonds and clashing cultures sets the stage for the comic drama Chutney Popcorn. Renna (Nisha Ganatra) is a young woman of Indian descent living in New York, where she works as both a photographer and a body artist who creates henna tattoos. Renna is also a lesbian, which does not please her mother, Meenu (Madhur Jaffrey), who prefers to dote on her more traditionally minded (and happily married) daughter Sarita (Sakina Jeffrey). One day, Renna gets some bad news from Sarita: While she and her husband have been trying to have a baby, her doctor has informed that her she is infertile and will never bear a child of her own. Renna volunteers to serve as surrogate mother for Sarita; she wants to help her sister and hopes this will smooth some of the rough spots in her relationship with her mother. But Renna starts to have second thoughts, as her lover Lisa (Jill Hennessy) feels left out of the loop, and Meenu thinks both Renna and Sarita are making a mistake. Nisha Ganatra co-wrote and directed Chutney Popcorn and also plays Renna; the film was enthusiastically received in its screening at the 1999 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) is a computer programmer working for Initech in Houston. Every day, he and his friends Samir (Ajay Naidu) and Michael Bolton (David Herman as not THAT Michael Bolton), suffer endless indignities and humiliations in their soulless workspace from their soulless boss, Bill Lumbergh (Gary Cole). For Peter, stuck in his cookie-cutter apartment with paper-thin walls and IKEA furniture, every day is worse than the one before it -- so every day is the worst of his life. To cap it off, Initech has hired a pair of "efficiency experts" to downsize the company. One Friday night, Peter's soon to be ex-girlfriend Anne (Alexandra Wentworth) forces him to go to an occupational hypnotherapist to relieve work stress. While Peter is under hypnosis, the therapist keels over and dies. As he never snaps out of his hypnotic state, Peter has a new outlook on life. If something annoys him, he just ignores it or walks away from it. He is completely relaxed and enjoying life for the first time in a long time. On Monday, Peter skips work and sleeps in. He gets up for lunch and drives down to a restaurant next to his office and asks the waitress he's had a crush on, Joanna (Jennifer Aniston), on a date. When Peter stops into the office to pick up his organizer, he's called in to talk to the efficiency experts. Relaxed and friendly, Peter charms them as he describes everything wrong with the office, including his boss. Even as Peter now appears at work only as the mood strikes him, the experts decide he's management material and give him a promotion even as they lay off the hardworking Samir and Michael. Peter then convinces his friends to exact revenge on Initech based upon an idea from Superman III. Not everything works out quite as planned. Office Space originated from writer/director Mike Judge's first animated short of the same name, created in 1991. The short was about Milton (reproduced in the film by Stephen Root), a damaged office drone whose complaints and threats about his sufferings go unheeded. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

LateLine [TV Series]
This just in: Nightline meets The Mary Tyler Moore Show in Lateline, an ensemble TV sitcom about a late-night news-and-issues series with a show-within-a-show format, incorporating real-life guests and using digital time updates and video to contrast "on-air" scenes with the filmed footage of the main story. Al Freundlich (Al Franken) is a correspondent on the latenight Lateline, a series headed by the somewhat sinister executive producer Vic Karp (Miguel Ferrer), with the help of sharp producer Gale Ingersoll (Megyn Price), assistant Mona (Catherine Lloyd Burns), witty guest booker Briana (Sanaa Lathan), intern Raji (Ajay Naidu), and anchorman Pearce McKenzie (Robert Foxworth). Al Franken (Saturday Night Live) and John Markus (Cosby Show) are the creators and executive producers, with Andy Ackerman (Seinfeld) producing and directing. Variety praised Lateline as "sly, edgy, spirited, charmingly cynical and populated by a bevy of lovable eccentrics who don't treat a punch line like a medicine ball." Premiered March 17, 1998 on NBC. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Scotch and Milk
Taking a stylistic cue from the French New Wave and Cassavetes, Adam Goldberg wrote and directed and stars in this black-and-white neo-noir -- with "additional dialogue by the cast." Writer wannabe Jim (Goldberg) lives in a seedy L.A. apartment building where he tries to write and broods over his lost love Ilsa, portrayed by Clea Lewis (who actually is Goldberg's former girlfriend). Jim's drinking buddies make a retro bid for the lifestyles of '50s hipsters. The gang gathers at the Catalina Bar and Grill to catch jazz singer Jimmy Scott perform "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child". A friend cruises into town with a car, enabling the group to go to the beach. Otherwise, they visit hookers, gamble after hours, walk empty streets, and hang around noir-style pre-1957 locations such as the colonnaded Venice, California -- buildings seen in Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. Familiar jazz classics punctuate the soundtrack. Shown at the 1998 L.A. Independent Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Among those with significant recent success is Hagerstown's girls team, returning sectional champions, and Northeastern's boys, three-time defending Tri-Eastern Conference team winners. HagerstownHead coach Kent Gray is back for his fifth year at the helm of Tiger cross country, with 15 girls out for this greatly successful team, plus 12 boys for their improving team. Junior Hayley Rogers will be joined by classmates Joanna Smith and Sydney Denhart in leading the Hagerstown charge for the girls team. Senior Erin Hoodlebrink returns to a varsity scoring slot, and a handful of others will battle for the remaining positions, including the other senior on the team, Sarah Baumer. Coach Gray expects sophomore Amelia Dick to continue the emergence that began in last spring's track season, and freshmen Cassidy Robinson and Paige Gray could well play key roles on the team. "We have a lot of talent to replace," coach Gray said of four graduated seniors from last year's team, a qualifier for the semistate meet. Those runners were Kearstin McDaniel, Erin Gray, Kasey Reneau and Nyla Rueter.

Archive for December, 2007
I didn't even see any headlines about passing the milestone of 3,900 US troops killed since the invasion of Iraq. According to iCasualties, it happened on the 26th.
Why haven't we been hearing much about US troop deaths in Iraq lately? Maybe because it would draw attention to the numbers?
For the record, they report 21 Americans killed in Iraq so far this month, 13 of them from hostile causes. Only February 2004 was lower (20 dead, 11 from hostile causes), and the 0.677 per day rate is the lowest ever.
If reporting casualties and milestones when numbers were higher was merely good journalism, and not politics as many charged, it's good journalism today, too. Isn't it?
We should be hearing exactly the same talk we heard every day, week, and month until about September or so. All about how even one death is too many and how many have died since President Bush declared the end of major combat operations. When asked if playing up such numbers wasn't playing political games with casualties, the typical response was that Americans had a right to know and that it was an important part of the discussion.
Or, alternatively, we should at least be hearing how casualties are down so much from previous numbers. Don't Americans have a right to know? Isn't it an important part of the discussion?
Am I missing something?
UPDATE: Whoops. MSNBC.com is still playing:
And on the story page:
How you tell the story changes the story. If they had wanted to, they could have done something more like this:
Sharp drop in violence in Iraq in second part of 2007
Officials note year was deadliest for U.S. troops
But they didn't. Still, I give them credit for sticking to their story.
I also want to point out that I don't often make a big deal about casualty numbers. Events have a way of changing rapidly, and something like a helicopter crash tonight at 10PM could double the month's total in a flash. Things are looking good, and October, November, and December 2007 are lower than the same months in any previous year since the invasion, so things look to be on track. But I thought the same thing in late 2005 and look how the following year went.
Commandant, Lockheed Martin unveil F35-B Lightning II
–Think F/A-18 speed and maneuverability, AV-8B forward deployment, F-22 stealth, and astonishing avionics," said Dan Crowley, Lockheed Martin executive vice president and F-35 program general manager.
–Flexibility — that is the beauty of this aircraft," said Commandant Gen. James Conway. –The flexibility that the STOVL variant of the F-35 will add to the contemporary Marine Air Ground Task Force is amazing," Conway said.
–Our service must have two-fisted capability," said Conway. The F-35B's ability to operate from amphibious ships, runways or unimproved surfaces combined with its speed and stealth will deliver that capability in Iraq, Conway said.

Story: Artillery battalion fires new Howitzers
'Triple Seven' howitzer mentioned on MO most recently here.
GARLAND, Texas — The opening line to an essay that won a 6-year-old girl four tickets to an upcoming Hannah Montana concert was a powerful one: "My daddy died this year in Iraq."
The girl's mother admitted to contest organizers that the essay and the military information she provided about her daughter's father were untrue. Now the sponsor of the contest is considering taking away the girl's tickets, said the CEO of Club Libby Lu, a Chicago-based store that sells clothes, accessories and games intended for young girls.
"Considering taking away the girl's tickets"? Considering?
It's not like Murdoc cares about Hannah Montana or anything like that. But if they allow this girl to keep her tickets it is the wrong message.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention the title of the Army Times story: Girl wins tickets by fibbing dad died in Iraq
That sort of deception is not a fib. It's a lie.
UPDATE 2: They took the tickets. It sure looks the mom is to blame for all this.
Earlier I pointed out that the M4 performed far better in identical dust chamber tests earlier this year than it did against piston-driven challengers more recently:
The M4 fared far worse in this test than in a similar test conducted on the M4s alone earlier this year. 60,000 rounds this summer yielded only 307 stoppages (still more than any of the challengers this time around) in what is described in the article as an identical dust chamber test.
Don't think that won't have some conspiracy theorists, um, theorizing.
The M4 suffered 882 failures this time around, and now we begin to learn why the number is so much worse than earlier:
Army testers threw out hundreds of M4 carbine failures from a reliability test this summer, causing the number of Class 1 and Class 2 stoppages, those that soldiers can clear themselves, to drop from 678 to 296, according to an Army briefing document.
You know, this sort of thing could get some of the more excitable sorts a bit, um, excited.
Army officials explained that the 382 M4 stoppages not included in the results could have been discarded when ATEC officials finalized the results of dust test two in October through a process known as the Reliability, Availability and Maintainability, or RAM, Scoring Conference that is part of every such test, said Col. Carl Lipsit, project manager for Soldier Weapons.
The 863 stoppages reported in the results of dust test three represented the final number after the RAM process, Lipsit said.
ATEC officials did not provide test three's initial number of failures and said the command –stands behind" the 296 stoppages in dust test two that are in the final report, said ATEC spokesman Tom Rheinlander.
I'm not sure why the current discrepancy between 882 and 863 exists, unless only 19 stoppages were RAMed out.
RAM is a standard process which is designed to help remove "duplicate" issues due to the same particular failure mode. This is the example given in the story:
If testers link 10 stoppages to a broken part, they could throw out nine of those stoppages and count only one failure in the final report.
It's getting murkier and murkier.
Suicide bomber kills opposition leader, at least 20 others at rally
This is obviously breaking news.
A party security adviser said Bhutto was shot in the neck and chest as she got into her vehicle, then the gunman blew himself up.
Even though
Security had been tight, with hundreds of riot police manning security checkpoints with metal detectors around what was Bhutto's first campaign rally since returning from exile two months ago.
Bhutto had planned an earlier rally in the city, but Musharraf forced her to cancel it, citing security fears. In October, suicide bombers struck a parade celebrating Bhutto's return, killing more than 140 people in the southern city of Karachi.
The unrest in Pakistan is clearly troubling, and this event will mar whatever result the elections bring next month. Pakistan has always been teetering on the edge of ruin.
Western allies hope the election will restore stability in a nuclear-armed country vital to their battle against Islamist militancy.
I'd say that that "hope" has faded.
Not a lot of time right now, but here are a few thoughts.
Success in Afghanistan depends upon stability and cooperation in Pakistan. There's been precious little of either, for the most part. Though getting the Pakistani government to side with us after 9/11 was a major success story, the actual results of the alliance have been largely mixed.
Long-term, an unstable or unfriendly Pakistan will make the war against our enemies far more difficult. Right now, the wilds of eastern Pakistan are a haven to the Taliban fighters and leadership that we battle in Afghanistan. But an unfriendly government, or even increased instability, could turn the whole country into a haven for all our enemies. Sort of a Taliban Afghanistan with 161 million people and a relatively modern military. Oh, and those pesky nuclear weapons.
Short-term, I wouldn't be shocked to see some sort of a major offensive launched by Taliban hold-outs following this successful attack. Whether they were directly involved or not, their leaders are sure to be heartened by the chaos and uncertainty that will follow, and that environment is one that they thrive in.
Fortunately, Taliban offensives are usually an environment that US and NATO troops seem to thrive in, as well. Large-scale ops by the militants usually result in large-scale militant casualties.
Whatever happens, this is sure to stir things up.
UPDATE: Jules Crittenden:
I have a very bad feeling about all of this. The potential for critically destablizing a flank that was difficult enough as it was is huge. I'd feel slightly better if Rumsfeld had doubled the size of the Army, and wish Bush and Congress would crank that up. This war is far from over. This war is no artificial Bush creation or figment of anyone's imagination, and should still be very much part of our own election, wishful thinking notwithstanding.
UPDATE 2: It turns out to appear that Expediamail.com is actually legit. That's crazy. Apparently a number of coincidences occurred at the same time which made it appear that clicking on the link hosed my computer.
The phukking phishing phags at Expediamail.com got me. At least in the sense that they tricked me into trying to check out my itinerary for my upcoming trip to Las Vegas for next February's SHOT Show.
They already had my name, my email, my destination, and the dates of my trip. They sent two emails as I had booked two separate "trips" with hotel separate from flight. The links invited me to check my updated travel itineraries. And I totally fell for it.
Fortunately, I don't think they got anything new from me as I had not actually created an Expedia account when I booked my trip. So I think I'm okay.
It was the best looking scam I've seen, and the sites it linked to were top-notch. Jerks.
So beware of Expediamail.com. I can see how folks with Expedia accounts would easily be tricked into logging in, potentially exposing all sorts of useful info to these losers.
And if you're going to be at the SHOT Show, drop me a line.
UPDATE: I started having issues even reaching the real Expedia site shortly after this. I had problems with two computers where I had played the dumb Expediamail game, but no problems with other computers. Deleting all the Expedia cookies seems to have cleared it up.

Royal Marines fight Christmas Day battle with Taliban – then march back to base wearing Santa hats
In what's described as "the most isolated UK outpost in Helmand":
Royal Marines won a dawn firefight with Taliban on a Christmas Day sortie yesterday – then marched back to base in Santa hats.
The men of 40 Commando left their Afghan base at 4.30am – midnight in Britain – to probe rebel lines a few hundred yards from their camp.
It was only a matter of time before the insurgents attacked. As shots rang out, one commando joked: "Merry Christmas!"
Comment at Kim's:
So they came back despite being armed with the SA80? Or is it a measure of manliness that they use a –poodle shooter" round in a Goldberg Device weapon?
The first of the newest class of amphibious assault ships may deploy by the end of next year. The San Antonio was delivered to the Navy in mid-2005, and a short 3.5 years later she'll be in action. The headline for this announcement?
Troubled amphib program appears on track
'On Track.' The third ship in the class has already been commissioned and the first ship won't be deployed for another year. Yet things are 'on track.'
