* Recommended titles
Saturday 20
* Noon Meeting Leila Dir. Adel Yaraghi. 2011. 88mins. Iran. When his bride-to-be insists he give up smoking, an ad man struggles to follow through with her request in a warm and witty story about a man's choice between love and addiction.—Jessica Johnson
12:15pm Day of the Crows Dir. Jean-Christophe Dessaint. 2012. 94mins. France. When his Tarzan-like father takes an incapacitating spill, a woodland wild child ventures out of his enchanted-forest home and into the forbidden world of civilized man. Basically a Miyazaki-lite spin on The Jungle Book, this animated French fable may prove too bland even for preadolescent viewers.—A.A. Dowd
12:30pm Westerland Dir. Tim Staffel. 2012. 90mins. Germany. Writer and theater director Staffel adapts his novel Jesús und Muhammed for his first feature, about a desperate and unusual love that binds two very different men. Set in Germany's desolate northern islands, the material is familiar, though the intensity and skill of the actors (Wolfram Schorlemmer and Burak Yigit) gives their interplay alternately tough and tender shadings.—Patrick Z. McGavin
1pm Industry Panel 3: Distribution and Marketing Two crucial steps in getting your movie shown are changing rapidly. Find out how in this discussion.
* 1pm Room 237 Dir. Rodney Ascher. 2012. 102mins. USA. According to Room 237, Stanley Kubrick had an IQ of 200. After seeing Ascher's explication of some of the more bizarre interpretive theories of The Shining, you'll suspect the man made use of every intelligence point. Some readings (noting The Shining's repeated references to genocide) are more persuasive than others (e.g., the notion that Kubrick used his movie to cop to a role in faking the moon landing). No matter; Room 237 is irresistibly entertaining as a work of film-criticism-on-film.—Ben Kenigsberg
1:15pm Shorts 7: Chaos Theory Various dirs. Approx. 95mins. This shorts program looks like a bit of a grab bag; one of the titles stars Michael Fassbender as a safe cracker.
2pm The Believers Dirs. Clayton Brown and Monica Long Ross. 2011. 80mins. USA. The "discovery" of cold fusion, as well as its subsequent denouncement by most of the scientific community, is the subject of this glorified Dateline special. The filmmakers feign objectivity, but their refusal to get tough with the theory's proponents—many of whom are notorious for concealing their supposed findings—betrays a clear bias.—A.A. Dowd
2pm Black's Game Dir. Óskar Thór Axelsson. 2012. 104mins. Iceland. "Based on shit that actually happened," reads a title card. Shit, indeed. Set on the eve of Y2K, this frantic, overeager-to-be-badass crime drama aspires to be the Icelandic Goodfellas, down to the sequence in which our coked-up protagonist struggles to stay focused while running through a complicated errand list. Initially you may wonder if the movie is on fast-forward; that's just how it's edited.—Ben Kenigsberg
2:15pm Rhino Season Dir. Bahman Ghobadi. 2012. 103mins. Iraqi Kurdistan/Turkey. If you know the work of Kurdish author Sadegh Kamangar, who was jailed for 30 years by the Iranian government and whose poetry, read by his daughter, is used in voiceover, Ghobadi's roman à clef is almost certainly a must-see. For those coming in cold, it's pretty opaque.—Ben Kenigsberg
* 2:30pm The Last Friday Dir. Yahya Al Abdallah. 2012. 88mins. Jordan. Five years after losing his job, family and life savings in a disastrous poker game, divorced cabbie Yousef (a terrifically taciturn Ali Suliman) reconnects with his teenage son while trying to drum up the funds for an operation he can't afford. Shot in immaculately framed, frequently wordless long takes, Al Abdallah's affecting debut has been labeled a comedy by CIFF programmers—a genre classification that will only make sense to the folks who howled with laughter during The Death of Mr. Lazarescu.—A.A. Dowd
3pm Color of Sky Dir. Dr. Biju. 2012. 117mins. India. A thief winds up stranded on an island where a man he's tried to rob resides. Not available for review.
3:30pm The Jeffrey Dahmer Files Dir. Chris James Thompson. 2012. 75mins. USA. Titled simply Jeff at South by Southwest last spring, this gratuitous info-rehash on the Milwaukee Monster splits its time among a forensic investigator, one of Dahmer's neighbors and the detective who first interrogated the serial killer. There's a certain procedural interest in what the latter has to say (when the man you've just arrested has a human head in his fridge, do you offer him a cup of coffee?), but the movie mainly traffics in morbid curiosity. Reenactments, designed to show how Dahmer could operate unnoticed, feel particularly exploitative.—Ben Kenigsberg
3:45pm Shorts 5: Spotlight Middle East: Shadows and Light Various dirs. Approx. 126mins. This program, obviously, takes a regional focus; it includes films from Syria, Iran, Jordan and Israel.
* 4:30pm Drought Dir. Everardo González. 2011. 90mins. Mexico. González's documentary looks at a community of cowboys and farmers in northeast Mexico struggling to survive as they await the rain. The slow pace seems fitting for the subject, and the film provides an insightful look at the destitution and daily relations of the ranchers and their families.—Kristin Scharkey
4:30pm The Last Sentence Dir. Jan Troell. 2012. 120mins. Sweden. A Swedish journalist who famously threatened his country's neutrality during WWII by writing scathing indictments of Hitler, Torgny Segerstedt is a worthy subject for a biopic. Too bad they botched this one. Perversely marginalizing Segerstedt's campaign against the Nazis, Troell (Everlasting Moments) favors dreary psychoanalysis instead, portraying the writer as a loveless lover whose deceased sweethearts return to him as vindictive apparitions.—A.A. Dowd
4:45pm The Land of Eb Dir. Andrew Williamson. 2012. 87mins. USA/Marshall Islands. A work of fiction shot vérité-style (indeed, you might mistake parts for documentary), The Land of Eb centers on a cancer-stricken Hawaii resident who's emigrated from the Marshall Islands—one of the most radioactive places on Earth, thanks to U.S. government nuclear tests. You don't see this character much in movies, and Williamson's film earnestly coasts on its novelty.—Ben Kenigsberg
5pm Caesar Must Die Dirs. Paolo and Vittorio Taviani. 2012. 76mins. Italy. A theater audience rises to its feet as the cast of Julius Caesar takes its curtain call. We then rewind back to the beginning, as the actors—all felons in an Italian prison—rehearse their parts and turn Shakespeare's drama into a riff on jailhouse power plays. If the film's commentary on the corrupting power of contemporary Roman politics deserves neither overwhelming praise nor burial through dismissal, the Taviani brothers' riff does drive a stake through platitudes about the healing power of art.—David Fear
5:30pm Postcards from the Zoo Dir. Edwin. 2012. 96mins. Indonesia. If one were to mate We Bought a Zoo with Jia Zhangke's The World, the offspring might look something like this. Early scenes of an abandoned tyke wandering the menagerie set a whimsical tone; the film grows more bittersweet in later passages, as the now-grown orphan, who was raised by trainers within the zoo, struggles to adjust to life in the "wild."—A.A. Dowd
5:45pm The Drudgery Train Dir. Nobuhiro Yamashita. 2012. 113mins. Japan. Yamashita, of 2005's infectious girl-rock drama Linda Linda Linda, makes what sounds like an unofficial companion piece to that film: a coming-of-age story centered on two men. Not available for review.
* 6:30pm Leviathan Dirs. Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Verena Paravel. 2012. 87mins. USA. Castaing-Taylor (Sweetgrass) and Paravel (Foreign Parts) rethink cinematic space with this astonishing nonfiction fishing film, shot with waterproof digital cameras on a boat 200 miles off the Massachusetts coast. Closer to Stan Brakhage freak-out than documentary, the movie eschews context and has almost no dialogue. The dexterity of the visuals can't be overstated—there are moments in Leviathan when you literally can't tell up from down, as the camera suddenly dives beneath the waves or slides across the vessel's deck, buried amid the day's piscine catch.—Ben Kenigsberg
6:30pm Valley of Saints Dir. Musa Syeed. 2012. 82mins. India/USA. "I was born with a paddle in my hands," says Gulzar, a poor boatman whose plot to escape a politically fractious Kashmir is interrupted by the appearance of a beautiful visiting anthropologist. A documentarian making the transition to features, Syeed has an eye for composition, though for all the hot-button issues, the material feels more earnest than tense or involving.—Patrick Z. McGavin
7pm Kuma Dir. Umut Dag. 2012. 93mins. Austria. Dag's debut feature explores the social and sexual havoc a beautiful Turkish village girl (Begüm Akkaya) unleashes on a striving émigré family in an Austrian suburb. Akkaya is hypnotic, though the episodic and incident-packed story frequently devolves into the blunt and hysterical.—Patrick Z. McGavin
* 7pm The Sessions Dir. Ben Lewin. 2012. 95mins. USA. It's with levity and a refreshing lack of pity that Lewin approaches the true story of California-based poet Mark O'Brien (an outstanding John Hawkes), who spent most of his days confined to an iron lung. The Sessions concerns the writer's attempts, at 38, to lose his virginity. The film becomes a funny and often poignant tale of sexual discovery—a rite of passage exciting and nerve-racking for just about everyone, regardless of how they breathe.—A.A. Dowd
7:15pm Mr. Sophistication Dir. Danny Green. 2012. 97mins. USA. It's amateur hour at the Apollo, cinematically speaking, in this tedious tale of a has-been Chicago comedian (Harry Lennix) juggling a wife and a new mistress during his comeback tour. Everything falls flat: the acting, the dialogue, even our hero's anecdotal, painfully unfunny routines. Avoid.—A.A. Dowd
7:45pm The World Is Funny Dir. Shemi Zarhin. 2012. 122mins. Israel. This Israeli comedy hinges on the tragic histories of a trio of adult siblings whose troubles began in childhood when their mother ditched them. World Is Funny attempts to find humor in a string of misfortunes leveled upon its main characters. But the melodrama is laid on so thick, there's little to laugh about.—Jessica Johnson
8:30pm A Royal Affair Dir. Nikolaj Arcel. 2012. 131mins. Denmark. Physician Mads Mikkelsen provides counsel to Denmark's mad King Christian VII, strikes up a passionate affair with the regent's discontented queen and paves the way for progressive reforms in Arcel's watchable if almost aggressively rote costume drama.—Ben Kenigsberg
* 8:30pm Simon Killer Dir. Antonio Campos. 2012. 105mins. USA. Brady Corbet, who played one of the yuppie prankster sociopaths in Haneke's Funny Games remake, stars here as a heartsick American couch-surfer who gets involved with a prostitute in Paris. As in Campos's debut, Afterschool, the troubled-young-man pathology feels pat. Formally, though, the film is often mesmerizing, with the director investing a Last Tango in Paris scenario with the mood and menace of collaborator Sean Durkin's Martha Marcy May Marlene.—A.A. Dowd
8:45pm Fable Dir. Lester Hamlet. 2011. 92mins. Cuba. A Havana man falls for a prostitute. Not available for review.
9:30pm Fuckload of Scotchtape Dir. Julian Grant. 2012. 84mins. USA. Scotchtape definitely presents a fuckload of cringe-inducing moments—from its amateurish acting to its poorly written and delivered voiceovers. ("Fags always have drugs," the main character says with a barely post-pubescent rasp.) But the worst are the bizarre interludes in which the pretty-boy protagonist looks dead into the camera and lip-synchs to the sappy acoustic soundtrack. The recover-the-stolen-money plot gets lost about 30 minutes in.—Alec Moran
9:30pm Starlet Dir. Sean Baker. 2012. 103mins. USA. After discovering the vase she bought at a garage sale is filled with cash, a vapid-seeming L.A. transplant (Dree Hemingway, daughter of Mariel) guiltily strikes up a friendship with the elderly woman (Besedka Johnson) who sold it to her. Widespread praise has persuaded me to give Baker's feature a second look, but on first viewing it struck me as largely conventional, apart from the big twist—which isn't quite as destabilizing as the film's acolytes suggest.—Ben Kenigsberg
9:45pm A Secret World Dir. Gabriel Mariño. 2012. 87mins. Mexico. Teenage María suddenly leaves her mom's house in Mexico City to go road-tripping, where she encounters strangers of varying degrees of pleasantness and creepiness. We watch María's impassive face while a couple of men treat her as a sexual vessel, yet the film likewise sees her as little more than a mopey cipher.—Novid Parsi
10:30pm Antiviral Dir. Brandon Cronenberg. 2012. 110mins. Canada/USA. A biotechnician (Caleb Landry Jones) sells pathogens extracted from the rich and famous; in this dystopian present, fans pay top dollar to be infected with their favorite movie stars' illnesses. It's a way for them to feel closer to fame. Along those lines, the half-effective, half-hacky Antiviral begs a self-reflexive reading: Making his feature debut, Cronenberg seems to be infecting his own work with the influence of his father David's greatest hits.—Ben Kenigsberg
11pm In Their Skin Dir. Jeremy Power Regimbal. 2012. 96mins. Canada. Important safety tip: When you're alone with your wife and kid in a remote woodland home, don't invite the psycho family who brings you lumber as a welcome gift over for dinner. This gleefully nasty home-invasion thriller fails multiple plausibility tests.—Ben Kenigsberg
11:30pm The ABCs of Death Dir. Various. 2012. 123mins. Each segment in this omnibus horror film corresponds to a letter in the alphabet, and each letter stands for a different way to die; a surprising number of these involve flatulence. About a month after seeing the film, I remember G (for gravity), O (from the directors of Amer), Q (Adam Wingard riffing on his bad luck for getting the letter Q) and X (to explain would spoil the punch line). Four out of 26 is a terrible ratio.—Ben Kenigsberg

Genesis crash lands in desert
http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/0...cnn/index.html Genesis crash lands in desert By Michael Coren CNN Wednesday, September 8, 2004 Posted: 12:16 PM EDT (1616 GMT) (CNN) -- The Genesis return capsule crashed into the desert on Wednesday missing a mid-air retrieval that was meant to protect the spacecraft from a potentially damaging impact with the Earth. NASA officials at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California said that long-range cameras did not detect the parachutes that should have slowed the craft. "There was no drogue chute or parafoil," said a JPL spokesman. "Under those condition, the Genesis capsule hit the ground at about 100 mph." NASA officials located the spacecraft around noon on Wednesday after it dug into the desert soil. It is unclear if any of the scientific instruments or samples were damaged. The daring trip to study the solar wind streaked home today as the Genesis capsule makes a fiery ride across the skies of Oregon, northeastern Nevada, southwestern Idaho and western Utah. By 11:55 am EDT, it will reach the roof of the atmosphere, about 410,000 feet, and start glowing like a streaking meteor. The spacecraft will be be retrieved by helicopter above the Utah desert carrying extraterrestrial samples. "We are bringing a piece of the sun down to Earth," said Charles Elachi, the director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "That's going to give us some fundamental understanding of our origins." Scientists say the data will not only reveal the composition of the sun, but illuminate how our planet could have formed from clouds of stellar dust. "Four and a half billion years ago, all of the matter of the solar system, including us, was part of a giant molecular cloud," said Don Burnett, principal investigator for the Genesis mission. "Genesis is providing the chemical composition of that solar nebula. ...The material is still stored for us in the surface of the sun." Two helicopters will be poised above a Utah Air Force base to snag the Genesis spacecraft's return capsule. The sturdy container contains atomic isotopes collected as particles streaming off the sun, known as the solar wind. The unorthodox midair retrieval will snag the first extraterrestrial samples since the Apollo missions in the 1970s. Genesis collected the particles over the last two years on special tiles made from silicon, diamond, gold, sapphire and other materials. The solar particles, embedded in the collector tiles, were ejected at about 280 miles per second (450 km/s) from the sun's scorching corona or outer atmosphere. Genesis will fill in an astronomical blank spot about its makeup. "What we've been missing is a starting point," says Burnett. "These samples allow precise measurements of the abundance of elements and isotopes in the sun." Our star accounts for 99 percent of the mass in the solar system. It is composed mostly of isotopes of hydrogen and helium and includes 60 other elements including neon, argon carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and iron. In all, Genesis has collected the equivalent of a few grains of the material. Scientists say that is enough to keep researchers busy for decades. "In some cases, we will be studying these one atom at a time," said Burnett who estimates there will be a "billion billion" atoms available for study. "We'll have a reservoir of solar matter," he said. "We can meet the requirements for (studying ) the solar composition through the 21st century." Genesis mission Launched in 2001 from Cape Canaveral, the Genesis spacecraft traveled beyond the protective cloak of Earth's magnetosphere for two years before heading home. Because of Earth's electromagnetic field, much of the sun's deadly radiation and material never reaches the planet's surface. In April, the craft ejected a 500-pound return capsule for return to Earth. It has been approaching the planet at a leisurely 600 mph. By the time it reaches Earth's atmosphere, the craft will be racing toward the planet at more than 25,000 mph. It will use a series of parachutes to slow its descent. On Wednesday, it is expected to enter the atmosphere at 11:55 am ET above Oregon and, just two minutes later, glide down over the Utah desert. The main parachute, a wing-like parafoil, will deploy during its decent and a helicopter will snatch the Genesis capsule when it is still about a mile off the ground. This daring retrieval method will protect the samples and sensitive instruments during reentry. A crash landing, even at the capsule's relatively slow speed of 9 mph, could ruin some of the data collected during the mission. The prospects for success look good according to NASA's retrieval partner in the mission, the aerospace firm Vertigo. "If they can find it, the success rate is very high," said Vertigo official Roy Haggard. A modified helicopter -- with a winch, hydraulic capture pole and hundreds of feet of line -- will follow the capsule by radar until it moves in and snags the parafoil. Because the Genesis capsule must repressurize in the upper atmosphere, scientists want to minimize the sample's exposure to air and possible contamination. Once it is secured at a NASA facility, scientists can breathe easier, said Burnett. "After that we can take our time, and we will see what we have," he said. |

They carried it live on one of the stations this morning. What a shame all those samples are probably no good now. It was almost comical to see it hit the ground with the announcers saying the chute never opened (REALLY?), until you realize the time and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ that was put into this program.

Only NASA could build a machine that could orbit the earth, collect solar wind particals, record insane amounts of data with intricate mechanisms, and have a freaking parachute that doesn't work.

Stayed 2 nights, Friday and Saturday. Hotel was clean. Staff was nice and friendly. It was quiet and got a good nights sleep. Internet worked good. Breakfast selection was OK. My only complaint...overpriced at about $130 a night, but Fredericksburg had a couple things happening this weekend and Main Street was crowded, so that explains the price. I would stay... More

Devin Townsend - ZTO (2x Bass Pedal) :
This is the opening track to the Ziltoid album where Ziltoid makes his presence known to Rock Band players around the world by beaming himself directly into your game console. Doing so has 'broken' Rock Band in strange ways. Such as causing the camera, lighting, and characters to behave in strange and unusual ways. Breaking the gameplay by producing vocals that shouldn't be there and other shenanigans. Proclaiming that Rock Band is a game for 'nerds', he challenges the players to play through all the tracks of the album and convince him that Rock Band isn't a waste of time. To do so you'll need to 'beat' each song and show Ziltoid that Rock Band does in fact rock.
Oh and you better hurry it up and bring him his damned coffee while you're at it!

Septicflesh - Anubis (2x Bass Pedal)
SEPTICFLESH recorded their sixth full length album for "Season of Mist". The yet untitled album was to contain all the elements that made the sound of SEPTICFLESH so unique: pale, strange guitar melodies, brutal and sharp riffing, the devil behind the mic, and of course the neoclassical arrangements that are Chris Antoniou's trademark.
To get that result, Chris the "gothic maestro" tortured a full orchestra and a choir respectively composed of 80 musicians and 32 singers! The rest of the album was recorded and mixed in what has become the temple of their past two musical rituals. Yes, once again they chose to invade the famous Fredman studios, with Fredrik Nordstrom.

Shakespeare in Hell - Poor Yorick (2x Bass Pedal)
New Orleans' Shakespeare in Hell was formed in late 2000 by vocalist Kevin Kish and guitarist Keith Guillory. Armed with the idea of taking William Shakespeare's darkest works and setting them against a sonic stage of death, black, and gothic metal, the pair recruited members Daniel Eschete (bass) and Steve Gipson (guitar), then began the process of recording their first CD, the dual concept album Hecate.

Vangough - Estranger
Oklahoma City based powerhouse Vangough may be named after a post-impressionistic artist, come from a conservative bastion of the U.S. and draw inspiration from heavy guitar driven 90's prog-rock metal bands like Dream Theater; yet driven by the explosive, cutting edge vision of guitarist and lead vocalist Clay Withrow, the band's incisive and infectious songs - 13 of which appear on Vangough's critically acclaimed indie debut Manikin Parade - and intense energy requires adjectives far beyond words that describe mainstream artists. So here's an opening attempt: committed to drawing listeners into their melodies before totally upending the tea table, they spit fiery madness by drenching your ears with a purple sunrise of melodic cocaine and a not-so-subtle approach to reading you the story behind today's headlines

Very dirty room. The furniture is old. In the bathroom was not hot water.

Everything about the place was great! The only thing was that it was a bit loud at night but that's what to expect when staying on one of the buissiest streets in town. Tel Aviv is amazing! This city has everything you could ask for. And the fact that it's so easy to travel around Israel makes it even better.
This is one of the cheapest hostels in expensive Tel Aviv. You get what you pay for - it was absolutely fine. Friendly staff.
Stuff and location is very good.
Very dirty rooms not really like on the photos. Everything is old and worn off. The backjard is filled with trash.
I don't think it can be found a better value for money hotel in TelAviv. The beach is located 2 minutes from the hotel, it has a 24 hour supermarket near it and is very easy to be reached (bus number 4 from the Central Bus Station and bus number 204 from HaHagana Train Station, which can be reached from Ben Gurion Airport Terminal 3 in 12 minutes).
The room is a little bit noisy because is located on a high boulevard and the bathroom is very very small. There is no carpet on the floor. It has no air conditioning and the atmosphere can become irrespirable. There is no wifi in the room, only at the reception.
Was a great accommodation for my very limited budget. I got a clean room, helpful staff and location minutes from the sea. I could not ask for more as a solo backpacker.
The noise in the middle of the night from the street.
The location is perfect, very close to the beach and to all the nice neighbourhoods and streets in Tel Aviv. There is a bus stop right before the hostel. A 24 hour open supermarket is just around the corner, they have a great coffee as well. The staff is nice and help you with a problem when there is one.
There were no dark- curtains on the 3 windows, which made sleeping quite short (the second night i got some dark cloth to cover the windows though). The TV didn't work, and concerning the single room is super tiny, to have this huge old tv-thing on the tiny table, made the table practically un-usefull.
Great value for the money. Staff was helpful and a great atmosphere. I would recommend this place.
My room was close to the street which made it loud at times.
Stuff, location

no very clean and the rooms are old, broken, not as in pictures
Perfect location and easy to find. Excellent place to spend your evening after a day in Tel Aviv. I slept well here, the room was very clean and tidy. The hostel has an excellent atmosphere, really easy to meet people and make friends. The staff is just amazing, very nice and helpful. Just a few blocks from the beach. I will stay here again.
People = very good
In room was very cold (outside was bad weather) Very strange bathroom
is close to the sea, but there's a bus stop under the window so it's too noisy all the time except Saturday (when it's a day off for buses)
I stayed at Sky hostel for 1 night.The reception staff was great. They went out of their way to make sure I felt at home and remember who I was by name. The location is perfect. It's next to the beach, with shops and public transport right around the corner. I will stay here again the next time I visit Tel-Aviv.
Great location on Ben Yehuda st. A few blocks to the beach. Lots of restaurants and bars in the area. Fairly clean for a dorm hostel. The 8 people dorm room was large enough not to feel claustrophobic with big windows.

Life Beyond Earth
An ocean on Mars. An Earth-like planet light years away. The evidence is mounting, but are astronomers ready to say we're not alone?
- By Eric Jaffe
- Smithsonian.com, July 01, 2007, Subscribe
"When I was a kid," says John Grant, "the big thing was: there are billions of stars in our own Milky Way, what are the odds that life doesn't exist?"
Grant, no longer a kid in stature if still in spirit, now plays a substantial role in setting those odds. The geologist at the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, part of the National Air and Space Museum, is one of a half dozen scientists in charge of creating itineraries for Spirit and Opportunity, the two NASA rovers that since early 2004 have explored Mars for signs of life, past or present.
Researchers designed the rovers to gather images of rocks and terrain where water, the presumed prerequisite of life, might have flowed. Opportunity's success came soon after touching down at Meridiani Planum, Spirit's a while after landing among the volcanic rocks of Gusev Crater. But the rovers' life-detection skills are limited. They lack the equipment to analyze organic compounds or examine fossils. (The mission's running joke, says Grant, is that a rover will spot a dinosaur bone and be unable to retrieve it.) These tasks are reserved for the Mars Science Laboratory mission, scheduled for 2010.
The search for life in the universe, however, isn't confined to the rovers' path. For that matter, it's no longer limited to Mars, or even the Earth's solar system. More and more, astronomers at labs and observatories around the world are finding evidence for the foundations of life—foremost, water—in our planet cluster and beyond.
"As we get more data about places outside of Earth, we're starting to see conditions where you've got to scratch your head and say, 'This is a potentially habitable environment,'" says Grant. "It's not proof, but you're doing the statistics and they're all going in the category of: In Favor of Life."
That column received another check in mid June, when a group of scientists revived the idea that a vast ocean once existed on the northern hemisphere of Mars. A couple decades ago, scientists analyzed images of this region and found what seemed to be a shoreline. But an ocean shoreline has a uniform elevation, and later topographical tests revealed great variation—in some places, more than a mile separated the terrain's peaks and dips.
The new research, published in the June 14 Nature, argues that, in the past billion or so years, Mars has changed the way it spins on its axis. In the process, much of the planet's mass has shifted in a manner that accounts for the alternation of the once-level shoreline.
The ocean, of course, no longer ebbs and flows along this boundary. But it's unlikely that all the water escaped into the universe, says the study's lead author, J. Taylor Perron of Harvard University.

i know there is life out there...
Posted by kenny on September 4,2013 | 06:16 PM
Its impossible for anyone to say that there is life beyond our own planet. My guess would be there isn't. I would hate to think that we are not the only example of life out of the billions of stars. Why would they say there is when they can't know for sure.

ChefsGirl is now located at http://www.chefsgirl.com
I love to share my food ventures with you and my blog would be nonexistent without my followers! Thank y'all for following me these past couple years and I hope to bring you even more great eats through my website. Enjoy!
A Local's Take…
When I think of Cafe Du Monde, I think of my childhood and how my family would take out of town relatives down to the Quarter, do a little siteseeing, and finally rest in the heart of it all at Cafe Du Monde and absorb the city sights, sounds and yes, smells =P. While living in NOLA, I took for granted the wonderful food, people, and ambiance of the city. When I relocated to a different state, I would visit often and do all the things tourists would do…visit the St. Louis Cathedral, walk down Bourbon St. with some sort of alcoholic beverage in hand, and then eventually end up at Cafe Du Monde…
…These delicious pillows of donuts are not only a tasty treat but also a memory. Lightly crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside…and dusted with powdered sugar. So whether you're a local or tourist, these beignets (pronounced 'Ben-yay') are worth trying. How can a French donut not be delicious? My favorite drink has to be the Frozen Cafe Au Lait. Definitely wakes you up and cools you down after a long walk around the French Quarter!
**TIP** If it happens to be too crowded, you can jump into a to-go line towards the back and find a place to eat, but I usually wait. The wait line moves quickly…depending on whether it's a holiday season or not!
The "chef" and I had some friends come into town and Emeril's was the perfect place to take them. We had a rather large group and figured it would be great if we ordered several different entrees and appetizers to create our own "little" feast.
Amuse Bouche. Vietnamese BBQ
"Emeril's" New Orleans BBQ Shrimp. Petite Rosemary Biscuit and Fresh Chives.
Charbroiled Oysters and Escargot in Butter.
Steamy Buffalo Chappapeela Farms Duck Wings. Shaved Celery. REd grapes. Whippe Blue Cheese Creme Fraiche.
Crisp -Point Judith Calamari. Olive Salad. Parmesan. Smoked Tomato Sauce
Crisp - Point Judith Calamari. House Made Pepper Jelly. Crisp Okra. Black Pepper-Buttermilk Ranch
Seared Scallops and Softshell Crab.
Maple-Soy Lacquered Chapapella Farms Duck. Dirty Fried Rice. Pickled Local Vegetables.
Shrimp and Linguini.
Truffled Shrimp "Louis" Salad. Iceberg Wedge. Applewood Smoked Bacon. Chopped Eg. Asparagus. Tobiko.
Canteloupe Sorbet.
BAM! Bombarded with the whole dessert menu! Man, is it good to have friends in the industry. Being the foodies that we are, the chef and I have made friends in the industry and we were treated like kings and queens. To top it all off, they served us with a buffet of desserts:
Key Lime Ice Box Pie. Torched Cinnamon Meringue. Honey Graham Crust.
Emeril's Banana Creme Pie. Graham Cracker Crust. Caramel Sauce. Chocolate Shavings
Chocolate-Sambuca Mousse Cake. Au Lait Semifreddo. Espresso Bean Bark
Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie. Oreo Crust. Caramel Sauce.
Walnut Foster Bread Pudding. Cinnamon Candied Walnut. Bruleed Banana.
What a memorable meal! Tons of food and all with that Emeril's flair! Great execution of every dish. Rich with flavor and leaving my mouth watering..even now.
La Petite Grocery has to be one of my TOP 5 restaurants in New Orleans….so why I haven't I tried brunch until now?
Delicious sourdough bread…Good bread is always a sign of great food!
Paneed Rabbit. Buttermilk Biscuit. Sunny-side up eggs. Braised Greens. Bearnaise.
Pork Cheeks Benedict Jalapeno cornbread. Poached eggs. Collard greens. Smoke Hollandaise.
Carmelized Brussel Sprouts.
Hot Iron Buttermilk Waffle. Salted Peanuts. Caramel. (Chef's selection of the day)
As expected, La Petite Grocery's brunch was refreshing and delicious. Delicate and yet so rich! If you're debating on what to eat for brunch or dinner, La Petite is the place. I've loved their dinner menu for years and finally had the chance to try brunch and I love it all. Great rendition of brunch with a French twist.
Just what the Carrollton area needed! In the past year, various restaurants have opened down Oak St. and its newest addition is Pho Bistreaux. They have just recently opened but already have crowds of hungry patrons entering the restaurant and leaving satiated…
Chicken and Pork Sliders.
Pho with Brisket.
The restaurant has opened its doors for only a little over a week, but the food is delicious and authentic. Great service overall, especially in comparison to its competitors throughout the city! The restaurant is quite small, but the environment is modern and family-friendly.
New Orleans is known for it's boiling pot of great restaurants all around the city, but when it comes to fast food, where do you go? With the superbowl right around the corner, wings are a hot commodity and Bayou Hot Wings has to be one of the best wings around! It's so good that the Travel Channel selected BHW to be one of three other restaurants in the city to be on Adam Richman's special "Super Bowl Tailgate Takeover" airing January 30 9ET/8CT. The owners are local New Orleans chefs that take pride in local flavors and homemade dishes. All the wings are 24+hr marinated and the sauces are made in house. They even offer local dishes: jambalaya, fried frog legs, and gator bites.
Sausage and Seafood Jambalaya. Tasso. Sausage. Shrimp.
Deep Fried Frog Legs. Excellent when paired with Remoulade sauce.
Thick Seasoned Onion Rings.
Caesar Wrap with a touch of Hotboy Sauce.
1/2 lb Burger with Hotboy Sauce. Steak fries.
Last but not least…WINGS: (left to right) Hotboy, Chipotle BBQ, Sweet, Lemon Pepper
I've basically tried the whole menu and I have to say it deserves more than the "best fast food" title…Every menu item comes out fully garnished, steaming hot, and packed with authentic chef-made flavors. I LOVE that their specialty is wings, but even the burgers are delicious…probably one of the best burgers I've had!
My favorites: Chipotle BBQ wings, Hotboy wings, onion rings, coleslaw, and ALL of the burgers
Local favorites: Jambalaya, Fried Gator Bites, and Fried Frog Legs w/ Remoulade sauce
If you haven't tried them yet, I HIGHLY recommend this local wing joint. Not into wings? No worries, because I enjoy their non-wing items just as much..if not more! Tell them chefsgirl sent you ^_^
Chef John Besh does it again! I've heard about Borgne by word of mouth, but what really inspired me to go try it out for myself was when I tried the Oyster Amandine at New Orleans Oyster Festival at Woldenburg Park 2012 (click for pictures). I swear, festival food is always the best..Have you ever heard of the law of Diminishing returns? Basically, when applied to food, it means serving food in small bites that leave your palate longing for more…so when I tried multiple miniscule oyster dishes at the festival, you can only imagine how I felt when I only got to enjoy a BITE of Oysters Amandine…After that experience, I've had high expectations for Borgne…
Panoramic restaurant view.
Early for lunch…
Charbroiled Oysters.
Duck Poppers. Jalapeno. Bacon.
Slow Smoked Pork Empanadas. White BBQ Sauce.
Sopa Ajo (Garlic Soup). Garlic Soup. Idiazabal Cheese. Cured Egg Yolk.
Honeysuckle Hotty. Cathead Honeysuckle Vodka. Hot Chamomile Tea. (Missing: Sugar Candy pop)
Marinated Crab Fingers. Bread Salad. Torn Herbs.
Ragout of Louisiana Rabbit (Lunch Special). Orecchiette Pasta. Garlic. Tomatoes. Rapini. Reminds me a lot of the Spicy Lamb Meatball dish at Domenica's except with rabbit!
Fried P&J Oysters Amandine. Grilled Mushrooms. Wilted Spinach. Oh..the delicious Oysters Amandine…Delicious and LOADED with cornmeal crusted oysters!
Seared Jumbo Shrimp. Brandade Ravioli. Shrimp Chorizo Consomme. Brussel Sprouts. Pumpkin. Chick Peas.
Pecan Praline Beignets.
My favorite dishes had to be anything with oysters: Charbroiled oysters and Oysters Amandine. I also LOVED the Pork Empanadas...Honestly, I hadn't known much about Spanish or Mexican food until I relocated to Texas and since then, I just LOVE it. It's just so rich, but can be so refreshing at the same time.
What didn't I like? We had a grapefruit sorbet (not pictured) that was definitely homemade, but the fruit itself was not ripe and left a not-so-enjoyable bitter aftertaste. Another item I could've done without was the Honeysuckle Hotty. My girlfriend said the same about her cocktail so if anything, I would suggest grabbing a local beer like NOLA Brewing. I really like the blonde ale..it's lighter and goes great with the food at Borgne.
Overall, good meal! I feel like Borgne's menu is a boiling pot of Domenica and Luke…The rusticness of Luke together the Italian refinement of Domenica. If you're in the CBD and looking for a fine lunch, Borgne is a great place to try!
Tartine is a cute and quaint little cafe that serves French breakfast and pastries. Before I even show you pictures, I must say that the food here is delicious! All the breads are made in house…nice and crunchy on the outside, but dense and soft on the inside. Breakfast is delicious and lunch is basically a breakfasty version of lunch…(my best explanation). They put a little touch of "Tartine" on every menu item…
Baked Egg in Brioche.
My favorite part about breakfast foods…the cutting of the poached egg. Who knew egg yolk could be such a delicious sauce!
Cafe Au Lait.
Ham Sandwich. Triple Cream Brie. Fig Mustard. Butter Lettuce on a Baguette.
Salmon Rillete.
So I'm showing you pictures from two different occasions…one to go order and one sit down in their tiny patio. It's THAT good..I've been here multiple times and just can't get tired of the food. It's refreshing and not overly heavy considering you're eating quite a bit of carbs. All spreads are flavorful and leave you wanting more…
I don't know what else to say. I love it so much that writing this post is making me want to visit tomorrow morning. I'll see y'all there!
So as promised, I paid another visit to Tartine and they did it again! I know this is a long post, but I'm sure a little eye candy won't bother your taste buds…
Soup of the Day: Cauliflower Soup.
House Pate. Dijon. Onion Confit. Baguette.
House Smoked Turkey. Gruyere. Avocado. Roasted Gartlic Aioli. Butter Lettuce. Honey Wheat Bread.
Everything was delicious, as expected. The thing I've noticed with Tartine is the simplicity of all their menu items. All tartines consist of a skinny baguette baked to a perfect crunch on the outside and dense yet fluffy inside. Each baguette is topped with a fully flavored, well-seasoned spread of choice (salmon, pork, pate..etc). Sandwiches are simple and plain in appearance, but don't let that fool you…like the House Smoked Turkey Sandwich did to me. The bread was a light and fluffy texture stuffed with deliciously smoked turkey. What really blew me away was how the garlic aioli could add so much flavor. I just wanna add garlic aioli to everything now! I can go on and on…but you'll just have to try it for yourself!
My favorite items:
If you're familiar with Chef Donald Link's restaurant, Cochon, well you're in luck because Cochon Butcher is right around the corner! It's a casual deli as opposed to the finer Cochon. They offer a variety of meats, sausages, and best of all sandwiches! Cochon is known for their charcuterie so it's only natural that the sandwiches are fresh and equally as delicious as the fine meals at its finer counterpart.
Pastrami w/ Sauerkraut on Rye.
BBQ Pork. "Carolina Style"
Hot Boudin. To Go! I've been on a boudin craze lately so anywhere there's boudin, you know I'll be getting it! This particular boudin was SO good. Who would've thought that creole mustard could go so well with it?
Each dish was served with homemade sweet pickles. Great for balancing out their savory dishes. After dining at Cochon Butcher, I ordered a few other sandwiches for "the chef" so he could enjoy at work…and he agrees! Not a single sandwich disappointed us. Every bite infused with flavor…
Cochon Butcher has been open for quite some time now, but lately has been "Talk Of The Town" (on Urbanspoon). Why now? Who knows, but it deserves the recognition!
I discovered this restaurant years ago at a Festival downtown, where they had their food truck, "The Que Crawl"…They served these delicious roast beef poboys. Then I found out that "The Que Crawl" is a branch off of Boucherie so I just had to check it out. Went there for lunch one day and have loved it ever since!
12 Hour Roast Beef Po'boy w/ Pickled Red Onions & Horseradish Cream. Moist and savory with a wonderful balance of pickled onions and horseradish cream. What's different about this poboy is that it's stuffed into French bread from a local Vietnamese bakery, Dong Phuong. It's a must try if you eat here!
Boudin Balls w/ Garlic Aioli. I've been on a major boudin kick lately and this has to be the best boudin ball I've ever had…I don't know what they put in here, but it was DELISH! Boucherie does a great job at balancing flavors with a little bit of tartness.
Smoked Wagyu Beef Brisket w/ Garlicky Parmesan Fries.
Every dish was a 10/10 and to top it all off, you get so much bang for your buck! Boucherie offers the best prices for upscale dishes. One suggestion…Make sure you make reservations on weekends. It's a tiny little restaurant so they get packed really easily and with no reservations…it's a looooonggg wait AND all you can do is be tortured by other guests devouring Boucherie's finest dishes.
Try it out, you'll LOVE it!
A guide with LINKS to all of my reviews…Still thinking of a good way to organize them for y'all, but until then… Enjoy!
I've been holding back on y'all…There's a new restaurant in town and it has to be one of THE best restaurants in the city. Award-winning chefs Rick Tramonto and John Folse got together and created a revolution…
Bread and butter!
Torchon of Foie Gras.
"What the heck is torchon???" is the first thing I said when "the chef" wanted to order this…For those of you who are wondering the same thing, it describes the method of cooking the foie gras…"au torchon" which translates to "in a towel". The duck liver loses a lot of fat in the process, but is cooked to perfection!
If you love foie gras, this dish was perfect…peach infused foie gras with an assortment of dried fruits and nuts.
Toasty sliced bread for foie gras.
Crab and Corn Cappaccino (above and below)
This delicious "cappaccino" came out on a fancy VERSACE tableset…So sad I didn't get a picture of the whole set, but what a great reason to go back =)
The crab came out separately on a spoon for your own mixing pleasure…Just like sugar in your cappaccino!
Crisp Sweetbreads. Herbsaint Meuniere. Forest Mushrooms.
BEST SWEETBREADS I've ever had…Note the microcarrot. Very nice touch!
Foie Gras w/ Peach Brulee (seasonal)
Triptych of Quail: Southern-fried, Boudin-stuffed, Absinthe glazed.
Sheep Ricotta Gnocchi w/ Lobster. Vanilla. Tarragon. Lobster Roe.
White Chocolate Bread Pudding Creme Brulee. Lemon-scented Apricots. Bourbon Caramel Sauce.
What an experience! I have yet to try a Michelin star rated restaurant, but if I were to guess, this comes uber close. The many levels of flavors…One dish that stood out to me was the Crab and Corn Cappaccino. Not quite a cappaccino, but a soup rendition. I was amazed at how intricate the flavors were..with each bite, I could taste each ingredient stand on its own as it passed my taste buds…You have to try it to know what I mean!
My FAVORITE DISH had to be the sweetbreads. I've never gotten sweetbreads so honkin' large before! They were juicy and delicious..UNFORGETTABLE! Another notable dish was the Triptych of Quail…3 quails, 3 different ways. My favorite quail was…can you guess? The Boudin-stuffed one!
Don't be shy to sit at the bar..great table service, even if you're sitting at the bar. You'll be served by their excellent bartenders who are super friendly and accommodating!
Great service, elegant decor, and phenomenal food…You won't regret it!
It's easy to forget about such a great establishment when so many newer and hip places are opening up in the city. "The Chef" and I decided to visit Dante's Kitchen, a restaurant we last went to years ago, but LOVED the food. Why haven't I returned sooner? I don't know, but here we are…
Wine collection.
Spoonbread. I know it's only bread, but for some reason, this is the most memorable dish. When I think Dante's Kitchen, the first thing that comes to mind is spoon bread… Moist and buttery. Warm and syrupy.
Duck Fat Roasted Smashed New Potatoes.
Mashed potatoes infused with Duck Fat??? How can you say "No" to that?!
Seared Scallops. Smoked Peach Puree. Basil Oil.
Slow Cooked Duck Neck Stuffed Buckwheat Crepe. Vineyard Currants. Farro. Chicken Cracklin'.
I've never had farro until now, but the way they prepared it was delicious! It was well-seasoned and went really well with the duck neck filled crepe…
Bubble and "Squeak Breads". Pan-fried Sweetbreads. Housemade Sauerkraut. Dark Beer and Corned Beef Broth.
Escargot. Bordelaise Sauce. Roasted Marrow Bone.
It's been years since I've last been to Dante's Kitchen and I'm almost sad I hadn't returned sooner. This was such a good meal…Not a single dish failed to please. Every dish was thoroughly prepared and well thought out. Sauces and broths were simple yet jampacked with flavor.
Dante's Kitchen has a pretty romantic setting, but would still be great for a night out with friends! Honestly, any restaurant is great for any setting. You can't go wrong with delicious food and good company =)

So..I've never been to Japan and I've never had "authentic" Japanese cuisine, but if I had to guess, Yuki Izakaya is the closest you'll get around here. Everything from the decor and jazzy Japanese band shouts "I'm in Japan!". Izakaya means "tavern" in Japanese…so Yuki is more of a bar setting than a restaurant. They don't offer any sushi or rolls, instead they have a great menu filled with small dishes (Japanese tapas pretty much)…great for late night drinking and Japanese bar food.
Walking in, you already feel this extra cool vibe…Live jazz music playing. There's no cover, but they do charge 0.50 per dish once the DJ starts playing. Chump change for awesome vibes and great food!
Cool Japanese movie posters.
House Plum Wine.
Spicy Tuna Tataki.
Takoyaki. Octopus Dumplings.
"The Chef" was raving about octopus dumplings he had in NYC and was dying to try Yuki's…They were different from the ones he tried, but he LOVED them too! Loved the plating!
Snowcrab Pintxo. Basque influenced tapas.
Fried Squid Legs.
Japanese Ramen. Braised Pork Belly and Egg.
Yuki was a great experience! Great selection of beers and have a large selection of shoju. The food was consistent across the board…consistently DELICIOUS! Best bar experience I've EVER had…Live music, great food…Can't get enough of it in this city!
I've been craving sandwiches lately and who knew we had so many great spots right here in New Orleans! Milk Bar is in the uptown area. Recently renovated to be smoking-free. If you go to use the bathroom, you'll actually notice that Milk Bar is connected to a bar (which explains why they needed to renovate to be smoke-free). Nevertheless, inside is quite clean with brightly painted walls, and cutesy cow-themed decor.
Outside View.
Condiments Bar and Special Menus.
Strawberry Milkshake.I can't remember the last time I've had a milkshake…and this definitely made me feel like a kid for the day! lol
Clooney's Choice. Marinated Chicken. Avocado. Tomato. Roasted Red Pepper. Red Onion. Mozzarella. Cilantro. Lemon Mayo.
*Special* Shrimply the Best w/ Zapps Chips (New Orleans Voo Doo Flava). Sauteed Shrimp. Pesto. Roma Tomato. Red Onion. Mozzarella. Lemon Mayo.
**Just a suggestion, these sandwiches are HUGE. Unless you have a HUGE appetite, split the sandwich! We were able to finish both sandwiches, but we were stuffed…)
My favorite part of this meal had to be the Ciabatta bread. Light and crispy on the outside, puffy and light on the inside. I'm no bread connoisseur, but as someone who loves bread, this was delicious…As for the sandwiches overall, I loved both! If you had to choose between the two, choose the Shrimp if you want something warm and savory OR choose the Clooney if you want something fresh and delicious. Oddly, "the Chef's" fav was the Shrimp and mine was the Clooney (not because of the name ^_~), but I had ordered shrimp and he ordered the Clooney!
I can't wait to try Milk Bar's other items! If you're looking around for a great sandwich spot, this is IT. Compared to Stein's Market and Deli?? You can't! They both offer different types of sandwiches, but Milk Bar definitely has made my Top 5 Sandwich joints as well.

Outdated but clean for the most part. Our room was comfortable. Beds were good. Bathroom was small but had a 2nd sink outside of bathroom. Tub was clean,... but old age stains. Ceiling paint was peeling in a couple of spots. Our room smelled like what they served for dinner that night. It didn't bother me, but some people are funny about smells. Some other people we knew didn't have that issue in their room. Dining room had an ok hot breakfast: eggs, sausage, french toast sticks, coffee, tea. No juice or fruit. Exercise room doesn't look great but was actually ok with just aerobic machines. The 2 older looking treadmills were decent and the elliptical was good. For the money, I thought it was a decent place to stay. Nothing fancy. από τον/την Hennesy από Fort Worth, tx στις 28/11/2013

This kitchen is great, it comes already put together with the exception of snapping on the top shelf and sink. It is colorful, and my baby loves it!! my boy is 1 year old and he gets excited every time he wakes up from a nap and sees it. there is also a little toaster and piece of toast that comes with it and he loves that too, it teaches him how to put the toast in, push it down, then push the button and the toast pops out. I recently purchased another kitchen and it was worthless, all the pieces were snap out pieces and i disliked it a lot. When I received this kitchen in the mail and got it out of the box I was and still am more than satisfied!! I love it!!!

This was a gift from grandparents. Daughter (age 2) loves it! She's tall, so we fully extended it immediately. She's able to incorporate other food/kitchen items with this kitchen, and there is plenty of room behind the "fridge" & "dishwasher" doors for storage. A couple of notes: (1) When you're putting this together, put the batteries in the "stove" BEFORE you install the shelf. Once installed, the shelf is too low to fit most screwdrivers under to replace the batteries (you have to unscrew the protective panel). This is not stated at all in the instructions. (2) Know that there are no shelves or anything behind the "fridge" and "dishwasher" doors. There's a grate that's the bottom of the whole kitchen set, but it's basically just a big open space behind those two doors. They aren't separated at all. I will probably put some kind of "floor" in there if I can get to it. Having said this, my daughter does love the kitchen, and these two items aren't reasons not to buy it, just cautionary notations.

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
My 2 and 5 yr olds love this kitchen and use it often to make mom and dad food. Only issue I had was that the inside shelves are grates, not solid, and that it comes with one plate/utensil set and the kitchen has a slot to hold two plates. Little things like that bug me. Otherwise it is a good toy.

Fun kitchen for my grandchildren. Easy to assemble and the right size for 1 - 5 year olds. Only negative is that when the children put pots on the burner portion of the stovetop, they can slide off very easily

About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Working Parent
This is a good, simple kitchen set for our 15 month old. There is some simple assembly with some screws and batteries. Starting with just one "layer" is the perfect height for her. She loves to push down toast in the toaster. It's a little strange that the sink doesn't attach to the counter, but my daughter loves it. Prior to this purchase, We started at a discount store and came home with a really cheap model that required us to break apart the pieces from the mold and assemble the entire thing. We spent 5 minutes looking at it, packed it up, and brought it back. I wouldn't change anything about this one, with the exception of attaching the sink, my daughter walks around the house with it.

I'll toss my 2 cents onto the pile.
I'm a cop who was gifted with an ability to write and I appreciate books that deliver a Christian message without trying to downplay the darkness of the world in which we live. The world is dark and getting darker. To write a book that is based within the "real world", it needs to touch on real world situations. In that light, if a story realistically builds to an encounter (sexual, violent, etc.) there is a way to approach that without being vulgar.
I've written a book that is being published in April about a couple of detectives working a homicide. The story deals with the darkness of the world as these men try to solve an ugly crime involving sinful people. There were no sexual encounters because the story didn't go in those directions but I did have to be careful about foul language, which is used like punctuation for criminals and cops alike.
My limited advice is this. Would you feel comfortable having your teenage child reading the story? That was my litmus test but I'm by no means an expert.

Pre-season No. 1-rated Union (Tenn.) University used first-half streaks of 5-0, 9-0, 8-0 and 9-2 to build a 10-point half-time cushion and rolled to a 79-52 triumph over Campbellsville University's Lady Tigers in the Powell Athletic Center on Tuesday night.
Two Alexia Williams three-pointers kept CU close in the first half while treys by Juliana Brown and Kristi Ensminger and two buckets by Courtney Dandis in the second half preceded the Lady Dogs' 12-1 run to finish the game.
The Lady Tigers host Robert Morris tomorrow at 7 p.m.
Campbellsville, Ky.
Coming off of a 26-10 season and the program's first-ever NAIA Tournament semi-final appearance, Campbellsville University men's basketball coach Keith Adkins has a lot of reasons to be optimistic.
Despite losing some key players, Adkins' optimism hinges on the return of All-American Zach Allender, who missed last season with a knee injury, the return of six players from last year's team and a very talented group of recruits who have bolstered Campbellsville's depth in every position.
Ginger Colvin, in her second season as Campbellsville University head coach, hopes to return the Lady Tigers to the NAIA National Tournament in 2009.
After completing her first season as head coach, Colvin believes her team was close to a return to the NAIA National Tournament last season.
"We finished 19-13, had five overtime losses and at times had five true freshmen on the floor," recalled the coach about the 2007-2008 season.
The Campbellsville Tigers went toe-to-toe with one of the elite NCAA Division I basketball programs, the Arkansas Razorbacks, on Monday evening in Fayetteville, Ark.
Playing in front of a crowd at the famous Bud Walton Arena, Campbellsville led 7-3 with 17:54 to play in the first half before the home-standing Razorbacks went on a 30-7 run that would boost them to a 20-point lead midway through the first half en route to a 103-58 win.
It's probably going to be tough, but Taylor County High School fans, parents and players will be borrowing Purple and Gold shakers for at least the next two Friday nights.
The Cardinals need Campbellsville to defeat McCreary Central and Glasgow to have any shot at the No. 1 seed in the play-offs, which begin on Nov. 14.
Campbellsville University mounted a furious comeback in the second half at Georgetown on Saturday before falling just short 51-45 in a matchup of Mid-South Conference East Division football rivals.
CU scored on the opening possession of the game on a 12-play, 66-yard drive, capped off by Greg Fountain's two-yard touchdown run. David Hon tacked on the PAT kick, and Campbellsville led 7-0 with 9:41 to play in the first period.
Campbellsville High School stopped its three-game losing streak by easily handling visiting McCreary Central 41-8 on Friday night.
The Eagles used the trio of Thomas Downs, Michael McCubbin and Zach Altman to rush for six touchdowns and a 41-0 half-time cushion.
Downs started the onslaught with a 16-yard run and then tallied another two-yard score in the first quarter.
McCubbin tallied from 16 yards out to start the second frame while Altman went in from eight yards before bursting in from one.
Down 14-7 at the half, Campbellsville University fought back to post a 35-33 home-field Mid-South Conference victory over Belhaven (Miss.) College on Saturday afternoon on Houchens Insurance Group Field at Ron Finley Stadium.
It was many of the same group of characters who had carried coach Perry Thomas' team through the first six games as Greg Fountain rushed for 197 yards and two second-half scores while freshman quarterback Ross Deaton tossed two of his three touchdown passes in the 28-point final two quarters.
Herb Wiseman stepped down as Campbellsville High School's head football coach on Monday with two games left in the regular season.
"I want to thank the Campbellsville Board of Education for the opportunity to lead this proud, tradition-rich program for the last seven years," Wiseman stated in his resignation letter on Monday.
"It has truly been an honor to coach these young people and watch them grow into young adults.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Chris Thomas does not expect his high school football career to be over at Taylor County.
The Cardinals' super running back, whose attitude is as good or better than his game, got another medical opinion over the weekend in Louisville.
"They told me if I rested it for 3-4 weeks, then maybe I would be able to play," Thomas said Tuesday night at the 18th District Tournament volleyball championship.

Royce got Em on this, and it wasn't even close.
Hook is godawful. This is mixtape level. Eminem is a better songwriter than this.
Didnt mind the hook. It's catchy.
And an EP is basically a mixtape so yeah, I don't expect the content to be on a high level...especially judging from the three tracks that have leaked so far. Em and Royce never really talk about anything important when they collaborate.
I must say, both had a corny punchline that left me shaking my head.

Live From New York
Sirius Radio and New York University teamed up to build a state-of-the-art broadcasting studio in the lobby of the NYU Langone Medical Center. They selected Structure Tone to provide construction management services. The new home of Doctor Radio, channel 114, brings listeners right into the middle of the medical world. Located in the lobby of the Medical Center, the client required that this broadcasting center be visible to all visitors to the hospital. With patients, doctors and visitors traveling through the lobby 24 hours a day, our staff created a safety plan for everyone's protection. In addition to safety, the plan also required accommodations for minimizing dust and noise. HEPA filters (running all day) and dust barriers kept dust and noise from other hospital areas.
Electrical Upgrades
To support this new, high-tech studio, our staff provided electrical upgrades to the Hospital's lobby area. Power supply and a new HVAC system for the 2,500sf control room and broadcast studio were installed without disrupting daily hospital operations. Our staff coordinated with Medical Center representatives to coordinate shutdowns for tie-ins and to work during lulls in daytime hours so as not to disturb daily hospital operations. Working so closely with the Medical Center staff assisted in completing the project on time and on budget.

So I hate when people are like, I'm a huge fucking Tech Nine fan, he's the shit, then they get all butthurt when I tell them if they were a real fan they would at least give him the decency to spell his name right. Shit, this chick on a social network site posted this as a status
"Tech Nine in Billings for his new CD All 6's and 7's that comes out I think the 7th of June on June 1st! The day after my birthday. Perfect! Now if you don't know what to get me for my birthday there yah go! :D Ha."
I commented on it telling her if she really was a fan she would at least spell his name right,
this was her response,
"So how about if your going to be fucking rude you take it off of my status.
I don't write Tech Nine like a fucking loser.
I never said I wanted to spell his name right did I?
I have seen him probably far more then anyone else.
So lets not go there about me not being a true fan.
K? Thanks. :]"
Ha wowwwww, so apparently guys you're a fucking loser if you right it Tech N9NE like you're supposed to.
who cares..... its just something spelled wrong..... yeah its something to spell right but not that big of a deal..... i think something thats more annoying is saying THEY rather than HIM when referring to tech
"It comes out I think the 7th of June on June 1st!"
Uhhh... what? lol
Man you must really care about this thread to post three times in it, gotta love internet trolls.
that's annoying as fuck too, this wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't for people who claim to be huge Tech fans but they don't know the difference between nine and N9ne, but the worst part about this chick is how she says that spelling it N9ne is for fucking losers.

And milo, cool shit man, being tough on the internet is pretty much the definition of cool, someday I hope to be as cool as you.
