Falcons (11-6) at Eagles (13-3)
LINE: ATLANTA by 3
Sometimes, there is not a lot to figure out. Take this game for instance. The Eagles had a great year until QB Carson Wentz went down. Since then however, Philadelphia's warts have been exposed and they are less than pretty. In just his second year, Wentz grew up very quickly in his inauguration as the Eagles' quarterback as he matured into a confident MVP candidate with his ability to pass, scramble and utilize a clock. Backup Nick Foles is none of the above. Foles has had three starts in his return to Philadelphia after being an understudy in St. Louis, Kansas City and here for one year. While Philly's record in Foles' three games was 2-1, there wasn't much to be excited about as the Eagles barely got by the lowly Giants, had no right beating the Raiders and then lost the season's finale 6-0 to Dallas. Foles was 0-3 against the spread (ATS) in that set, taking him to a less than formidable 4-11 versus the points in his past 15 starts. Ability aside, the Eagles visibly lose their swagger with Foles at the helm. Many were hoping to grab the Falcons with some points once this matchup was determined. Fat chance. Bookmakers aren't that careless. There's good reason that this marks the first time that a No. 1 seed has been an underdog in this round of the post-season. Oddsmakers understand that Matt Ryan and his experienced club lays over Foles (one playoff start) and his group of playoff novices. Atlanta has played well recently, winning seven of nine with only losses to Vikes and Saints. They carried that momentum into Los Angeles last week and disposed of the league's highest scoring club by allowing it just 13 points. Remember the Raiders a year ago after Derek Carr went down and they were smoked in first round of playoffs by Brock Osweiler's Broncos? Yeah, we remember that also.
Titans (10-7) at Patriots (13-3)
LINE: NEW ENGLAND by 13½
A hundred things had to go right for the Titans to defeat the Chiefs last week. Don't expect the same good fortune in this one. Not against the disciplined Patriots and not with a Titans' team that simply doesn't have the offence to stay within range here. Even with the big pointspread, it will be challenging. Tennessee is the only team to make the post-season with a negative point differential. The Titans wound up -22 on the season after scoring a 19th ranked 334 points while allowing 356. By contrast, New England was +162 when racking up 458 points compared to the 296 it relinquished. QB Marcus Mariota somehow guided his team to the playoffs despite a season that saw him toss more interceptions (15) than touchdowns (13). While Tennessee's defence was respectable this season, it faces a big task here, particularly as it pertains to Patriots' TE Rob Gronkowski. The Titans were inept at limiting tight ends this campaign, allowing opposing teams 76 receptions, 853 yards and five touchdowns to the position. Kansas City was in control of things last week when Tennessee couldn't stop Travis Kelce who had 66 yards receiving on four receptions and a touchdown before exiting in the second quarter after getting dinged and placed in concussion protocol. The Pats won the Super Bowl without Gronk a year ago. You can bet that his presence will be felt on this day. The big number may deter some but historically, teams spotting seven or more in this round have fared well with a 45-37-3 ATS mark. The Pats were laying 16 last season at this time to the Texans before covering with a 34-16 win. New England found itself in some controversy this past week that suggested discord among the team. Because of their huge success, the Patriots would draw attention from boiling an egg. But as we've seen, this only inspires them to be at their best and if the same holds true here, the Titans are in for a long evening.
Jaguars (11-6) at Steelers (13-3)
Quickly now, who scored more points this season between the Steelers and Jaguars? If you said Steelers, and we're pretty sure you did, you might be as surprised as us to know that Jacksonville actually outscored Pittsburgh this season by a few points. Not many would be shocked to know that the Jags also allowed fewer points (40 to be exact) than their host today after the Jaguars' rugged defence finished first in passing yards allowed and second in both total yards and points allowed. Those that remember back to early October of this season can also recall Jacksonville defeating the mighty Steelers by a 30-9 count on this very field in one of Pittsburgh's two home losses. Ignore it all if you choose to but we think you're either being foolish or pigheaded to refuse the large allotment of points being offered here. We understand those that believe, "Pittsburgh will kill them". After all, Pittsburgh is the sexier team with its huge fan base and multiple Super Bowl championships while Jacksonville is barely on the football map. The Steelers have Ben and LeVeon and Antonio Brown. The Jaguars have punchline Blake Bortles and receivers you've never heard of. But with such perception and stature comes a price tag. Let's also not ignore that in most situations, defence trumps offence. Jacksonville was able to pick off Ben Roethlisberger five times in the first meeting. Expecting a repeat performance that bad is unreasonable but one or two turnovers (Jaguars 2nd overall with 33 takeaways) in this one will be enough for a Jacksonville cover. We also have our concerns with Pittsburgh's defence as it's been a suspect unit to begin with and the loss of leader and top defender Ryan Shazier heightens concerns. No matter how you cut it, Pittsburgh is being overvalued here. Since that loss to the Jaguars in Week 5, the Steelers have won just three of 11 games by more than five points. None were against a defence as good as this one. Win or lose, Jags are the prudent play here.
Saints (12-5) at Vikings (13-3)
LINE: MINNESOTA by 4½
Good matchup to close out the Divisional Round as two of the NFC's top teams will square off in order to obtain entry into the Conference Finals next Sunday. The Saints emerged from a very competitive NFC South division while the Vikings toppled their tattered NFC North foes. After losing its first two games, New Orleans turned things around by winning eight straight and establishing itself as a conference contender. One of those early losses was at this venue to Minnesota on opening day after the Vikes emerged with a 29-19 decision. While it is clear that things subsequently improved for the Saints from that point on, the Vikings continued to roll all season long with hardly a hiccup. After splitting its first four games, Minnesota went on to win 11 of 12 before capturing the NFC's top seed and home field throughout these playoffs. If so lucky, the Vikings can become the first team to ever host the Super Bowl on its home field. There's reason to believe they can do it. Mike Zimmer's team plays outstanding defence. His squad ranked first in total yards and points allowed before finishing second in both rushing and passing yards allowed. This stingy squad gave up an average of just 12.5 points per game on this field. The most any visitor was able to tally was the 19 that the Saints earned in that opener. After that, no team reached 18 and that included the league's top scoring Rams, who managed just seven points here. There are reservations discounting Drew Brees' savvy and ability while he's up against a first-time playoff quarterback in Case Keenum and refusing points with Brees who is 21-12 ATS when getting 3½ or more but we also cannot ignore that New Orleans was a sub .500 team on the road this season and have lost three straight away games entering this one. Minny is rested. Zimmer's group has covered eight of 10 after extra rest. The Vikes are 25-8 past 33 as hosts. Too much points their way.

Success! Adelaide's first video game party complete
Posted on June 19, 2014
In the best news since September, I can happily report that we recently delivered the first Game Truck Australia party last Saturday. It was the 8th birthday party of Wilby Durward, son of Corey and Katherine, and it went really well. Corey was the very first person to book a party via the Indiegogo (crowdfunding) campaign, which means they got the first Game Truck Australia experience.
There is a bit of an interesting story behind the event. Due to delays in construction, the van for Game Truck Australia was not quite ready, but I had committed to a party for Wilby. When I spoke to Katherine about the situation, I felt I had to be honest about the situation with the van and I offered a couple of contingency plans. I thought it was only fair that I offer a full refund, since I was not able to deliver the product as promised. One of the other options was for me to bring the equipment around to the Durward home, as long as they had enough space, and set up all the consoles and TVs to get as close to the gaming party they had hoped for.
The week before the party I visited their home to check out the space and talk them through my plans. This was a good opportunity for Corey and Katherine to get an idea of how I planned to run the party, and for us to consider how the space would work, what games we would offer, and how we'd organise breaks etc.
On the day we had to work hard to get all the equipment set up – we hit a bit of a wall with getting the controllers synched to the consoles, but this is something we definitely won't have to worry about when the van is ready. Once we got all the kids on the consoles, it took a few minutes to get them all into the game but then they were flying – most of them were pretty experienced and the rest learned quickly. A short break allowed for a few morsels of food to be inhaled before another session with a different game, and before we knew it three hours was up.
Apart from the challenge of getting things working properly there were very few hiccups. Only one player felt he was being griefed, and the incident didn't recur; some players got a bit restless and ready for a change of game around the break. After the break we had two different games going on simultaneously, which created envious eyes, but we managed that. Finally, I think I may have to invest in some earplugs – especially in the closed environment of the van!
The positives on the other hand were enormous. The few parents who were around for the full time were amazed that 20 8-year old boys remained so focussed for three whole hours, and a roomful of adults were able to enjoy a glass of wine with just a little rowdiness from the other end of the house. One group of players had an epic win in their game which created a very positive buzz, and a little bit of eSports in the lounge room. My own best memory, though, is that of kids calling me over to show me whatever most recent awesome thing they had done in the game. The energy and fun in the room was palpable.
All up, a great success. Thanks to my friend and technical advisor Marcus for helping me out on the day, and special thanks to Katherine, Corey and Wilby for not only putting the trust in me to book the first event, but staying patient with all the challenges and remaining open to the best I could do for them. I look forward to seeing them redeem their free party voucher so we can relive the experience properly – in the van!

Dusting off the Cobwebs (Is there Anybody Out There?)Posted by schnolis on February 4th, 2010 filed in Observations

Sometime around August life got very busy for me personally. Since the holidays are now past and the immediate concerns at home have abated, I feel the time has come to resume this project.
I have neglected this site for too long. I'm setting a goal for myself to finish the 2009 Movies project within the calendar year of 2010, which gives me just about 11 months to watch 90 movies and write 111 reviews. I've updated The List, which now shows all the movies left in the challenge. Many of the films are already available on DVD, so I've got no reason to hold back.

I'm finally updating the past Friday Updates, so at least the website is up to date. So far so good. I have no way of getting to the theater anytime soon, but I hope to be caught up sometime next month. Wish me luck!

Whoa! I am so behind no there's absolutely no way I'll catch up by the end of the calendar year. Still, that's okay. I'm going to get back to the Ritz when I can, and make up the remainder on video.

I've had a bit of trouble this week at home, and didn't get to see any of the new films. That means I have to add three more to the unavailable list, and keep going with the ones I can still see. This week there are four new ones to add to the pile:
Wish me luck!

The easy times have officially passed. This week the Ritz is trying to give me extra stress by releasing six movies at once. They are:
I've seen trailers for $9.99, Humpday and Soul Power, but the others I'm largely in the dark about. The ones I know about all look fairly decent, but none look amazing.

This week is very simple. Only one movie is leaving, and I'm only seeing it:
Afghan Star, 9:30p, Ritz at the Bourse
My mom is still visiting from Chicago and so we'll probably just spend some extra time together. We're planning to attend a daytime showing of the new Ice Age movie for the whole family. This will potentially be the first theater movie for my twin daughters. I'm hoping they enjoy it, though I'm not sure how they'll handle the 3D. Maybe that's too much.

Only one new film this week:
Afghan Star is about a show like American Idon but set in Afghanistan. I don't know anything, really, about the other two movies as I have assiduously avoided watching the trailers. Moon spoiled far too much for me and now I'm trying to be careful again.
Movie WednesdayPosted by schnolis on July 21st, 2009 filed in Showtimes

As there are no screenings I'm aware of for Wednesday, it's going to be a simple night. There are only two movies I still need to see and they are:
The Hurt Locker, 7:00p, Ritz Five
Séraphine, 9:50p, Ritz Five
Movie times are pretty simple, though there's a pretty large gap in between. My mother is coming to visit this week, and arrives only a few hours before. She's graciously agreed to watch the girls and allow me to continue my movie night, so I'm excited to still be going. Next week remains up in the air, as I'm going to be busy with the family while I'm on vacation. Hopefully I'll still find time to catch a few films. Stay posted if you're coming along.

Only one new film this week:
I haven't watched the trailer when it has shown, as I don't want to learn anything about it.
This week just past I got to see five movies and most of what was out. Even with this release, there are only two films that I haven't seen which are available in the theater or on DVD. I'm hoping to use this week to finish some of the now 17 unpublished reviews I've got in the queue.
CheriPosted by schnolis on July 15th, 2009 filed in Reviews
Comment now »
I'm not a believer in the idealized romantic notion that everyone has one perfect love. People (and characters in films) that believe this to be true are simply selling themselves short. It's a kind of emotional laziness that isn't backed by everyday, real world evidence. Plenty of people love and love again, whether after divorce or death, and make the best of it. We love all our children, and parents, and some friends, and our lives are richer for it. Cheri makes this precept central to its story, which restricts my ability to empathize or understand it.
Cheri (Rupert Friend) is a young man not quite 20 years of age. He was born to a very successful prostitute., Madme Peloux (Kathy Bates). He was a relatively normal child but into adulthood became more confused and angry. Ultimately he is eventually taken in by Lea de Lonval (Michell Pfeiffer), also a prostitute, and many years older. The women have done very for themselves, but are social outcasts in an era and culture where it mattered more. Cheri is drawn to Lea's kindness, and the two become romantically involved despite the difference in age. She takes care of him, trying to draw him out of his petulent shell while instructing him on societal ways. But when Madame Peloux arranges a marriage with (you guessed it) another prostitute's daughter, the six year arrangement with Lea must come to an end. This sends Cheri and Lea into depressive states, though neither is willing to refuse the arrangement. They don't acknowledge to themselves or each other the love they feel connecting them; instead they perfunctorily live their livers, all the while harboring desires to be back with their old lover.
One frustrating fault with this film is the way information is presented. The realizations aren't shown to us by the actions of characters themselves. We're instructed via a third-party audio overdub of the rudimentary foundations of the culture, and in the end of Cheri's ultimate despair and suicide. It never fails to astonish me that film makers can't be bothered to show us viewers a story and allow us to come to our own conclusions. We're capable of understanding the complexities of love and despair without direct explanation, and deducing what led to actions the performers made. I found myself asking why I should care about any of them? The ridiculously overvalued Victorian sensibilities coupled with the faulty one-true love premise combined in Cheri for an exasperated experience, quite distant from any form of enjoyment.
What I liked: Some of the dialog was interesting, and the costumes extravagant. The performances of Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend were fine by themselves, but the deplorable characters and the uninteresting story diminished any appreciation. It's always amazing to see the incredible castles and estates the excessively wealthy people in the world inhabit.
What I disliked: The overdubbed narration was annoying. There was some information provided about the history of courtesans and their rise in popularity in history, but was otherwise strange in so far as it appeared early in the film but disappeared until the very end. I got the impression it was added late to the mix to explain certain points that failed to get adequate descriptions in the film. The characters weren't likable, and not because of their being prostitutes. I wanted to like the characters, but how could I when they never acted worthy of care?

MoonPosted by schnolis on July 14th, 2009 filed in Reviews
Comment now »
Moon is a better than average science-fiction film that works fairly well despite not being able to explain away the logical holes in the story. Sam Bell (played by Sam Rockwell) is just finishing up a three-year contract maintaining a mining facility on the dark side of the moon. He's ready to get back home to his wife and child, who he has only been able to talk to via taped messages since the live connection to Earth was lost years before. His primary duty is gathering canisters of fuel from harvesters that run continuously and shipping them to Earth for Lunar Industries. He spends idle time watching old television reruns, jogging on the treadmill, playing ping-pong, and carving intricate miniatures with a magnifying glass and scalpel. His is a contempletive existence, which has mellowed the angry Sam into a more mature and well-adjusted person.
Before he's finished his time, though, strange things start happening to Sam. He's become more brittle. He has periods where he cannot focus and has even begun hallucinating. When he crashes a rover into one of the harvesters, things don't look good. Even after GERTY (voiced by Kevin Spacey) patches him up, things aren't quite copacetic. Sam goes out to find out what's wrong with the harvester, only to find someone who looks just like himself, barely alive, in the wreckage. GERTY doesn't provide any answers, so the two Sams work together to reason out what's going on. They conclude they must both be clones, activated when the old clone no longer worked.
This is where the film begins to go someplace interesting. The relationship between the clones is touching and awkward. Initiaully neither one wants to admit he is the clone. This leads to a few scuffles and confrontations. But the older Sam has experiences the younger Sam doesn't, and even though their common memories of before are set, they are two different people. They each learn from the other, and quickly adapt to the unexpected. The question of whether clones deserve to be treated as humans clearly comes into question. What makes someone a person, worth of respect and individual freedom? What are the ethical and moral implications of creating another person, and then deceiving them through more technology? Our society is headed in this direction, faster than we're able to keep up and answer those difficult questions. This is what good science fiction does, and Moon is certainly that.
What I liked: The stunning lunar landscapes and perspectives. The set of the station was really cool and was a great locale for the story. Sam Rockwell did a terrific job, too, in a subdued near solo performance that I think is potentially award worthy. The tech was gritty and simple, almost like something extrapolated and envisioned in the Apollo lunar landing era for what the middle of the 21st century would look like.
What I disliked: Trailers ruined the enjoyment of much of the movie for me. I suspected many of the plot twists from the very beginning, just based on the scenes in the trailer, which I saw easily a half-dozen times. While I understand that it wasn't the whole movie, I don't think I got enough out of the bits that I hadn't already deduced to make it really worth seeing. Some of the logical holes in the story are larger than I can easily overlook. Why was the cost of the clones so cheap? Why couldn't the robots do remotely everything the human did in the film? If they produced so much cheap energy on the moon, why couldn't they afford to send more people and technology up?

The Stoning of Soraya M.Posted by schnolis on July 14th, 2009 filed in Reviews
Comment now »
I consider myself a bit of a philosopher. I I enjoy learning about fascinating ideas, overarching concepts and the big picture. One topic that often comes up is morality. Morality is a complicated subject that is still studied frequently today. Jonathan Haidt, a moral psychologist at the University of Virginia defines it thus: "Moral systems are interlocking sets of values, practices, institutions, and evolved psychological mechanisms that work together to suppress or regulate selfishness and make social life possible." At its heart The Stoning of Soraya M. is about our moral systems and how they worked against an individual Iranian woman.
Soraya is unhappily married to Ali. Their family life strained by his desire for a divorce so he can marry a more wealthy girl. Soraya will not accede to this as she would be left unable to provide for the children. She is aided by her Aunt Zahra, the most respected woman in the tiny rural town, but even together there's little they can do. Women aren't respected enough in the traditionalist Islamic culture to have a say. Ali schemes to have Soraya accused of adultery, which he succeeds in after intimidating a local simpleton to testify against his wife. Eventually the entire town comes to stand against Soraya, accusing her of violating the will of God, and demanding her death by stoning.
The stoning scene itself is the focus of the film. Soraya arms are tied to her side and then she gets buried up to her waist in the ground. Starting with the people who should have loved her the most, including her father, her husband and her children, they pick up stones and hurl them at her, inflicting bloody welts and open sores on top of what must have been exceptionally painful bruising. The unadulterated barbarism is shocking to modern sensibilities, but this is not a film about ancient times. Stonings still occur in the extremely restrictive cultures still haunting the world, mostly to women.
Soraya is killed due to a cultural preference for males in her society. Their moral systems failed to protect her because she wasn't deemed to be as important. This is the reason we must fight against discrimination of all sorts. Whenever people are marginalized and deemed of lower status than others, then incredible justifications for wronging those people can be and are made. We must speak out against such barbaric cultures, religions, beliefs, and principles whenever possible. The story of Soraya informs us of the consequences of inaction.
What I liked: The movie was well made, and was beautiful (if heartbreaking) to watch. The women were fantastic and strong despite the limitations of their status, and carried the movie for the men. I thought the portrayal of the stoning itself was a visceral, difficulty scene. It wasn't a short scene that glossed over the gore or the brutality. It felt painfully anachronistic and chilling to see it occurring in a modern time.
What I disliked: While the movie seemed polished and professional, some of the scenes seemed to be unnecessary movie conflict. There was clearly enough material in the film to do without the trite car chase scene at the end. The men's roles were too simple, but most likely only because the women's performances were nuanced, subtle and important.

Due to an unforeseen and fortuitous event, I'm going to get to see a film tonight with my wife Linda. It's probably just one film, but it's one that's leaving this week so it's a good plan.
The Stoning of Soraya M., 7:15p, Ritz Five
The Hurt Locker, 9:45p, Ritz Five
Linda's not planning to stay for the second show, but I'll just stay a little later. I like that I don't have to leave work early, either. Tonight should be fun!

I think the Philadelphia QFest Film Festival is going to slow things down for a couple of weeks. That's fine, because I have over a dozen reviews still to write. There are two new films opening up:
I already saw Tetro at a screening function last week, so only one new film added to the list this week.

Movie night is back to Wednesday this week. I've got a chance to see a screening of Julie & Julia, and I don't like to turn down free movies.
Cheri, 4:30p, Ritz Five
Julie & Julia, 7:30p, Ritz Five
The Girl from Monaco, 9:50p, Ritz Five
The times don't line up well. I'll need to leave work early to get down to see a 4:30p show, but it will make getting in line for the screening easier. I don't know if anything else is leaving this week, either. The plans could easily change.

There's a new film festival starting today. The 15th Annual International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (known as Qfest) runs through July 20 at the Ritz East theater. There will be dozens of new full-length and short films, highlighting lesbian, African-American, Latina/Latino, Youth and Philadelphia filmmakers. Some films are being shown in open theaters, like the Grease sing-a-long.
I will probably not get to see any just due to time constraints, but there are plenty of interesting looking films that I'm going to add to my Netflix queue to screen when they are released on DVD.

This week I'm moving the movie night to Tuesday, to accommodate a friend who cannot go on Wednesday. I'm planning to see three movies, but I'm not sure which the third will be yet:
The End of the Line, 5:15p, Ritz at the Bourse
Little Ashes, 7:00p, Ritz at the Bourse
Cheri/The Girl from Monaco, 10:00p, Ritz Five
The two options for later are at the same theater at the same time, so that makes it a pretty easy choice.

This is another pretty normal week for the summer. There are three new films opening up:
Moon is the movie that stands out for me this week. The trailers for it started a long time ago, and I've looked forward to it from the first time. The End of the Line is yet another documentary, and I know nothing about the Girl from Monaco.

Whatever WorksPosted by schnolis on July 2nd, 2009 filed in Reviews
Comment now »
Whatever Works is the story of a writer-director who pumps out three or four movies a year that always seem to have an attractive 18-year old woman who's somehow attracted to the neurotic megalomaniacal septuagenarian who uncannily resembles the writer-director. Or maybe I'm mixing the plot of the movie with real life? I'm really not sure. After seeing Whatever Works tonight I'm not sure that I'm as big a fan of Woody Allen anymore. Either this film just wasn't up to par or seeing too many of Allen's films in too short of a span of time just makes you feel a little creepy and voyeuristic.
Boris Yellnikoff (Larry David) is a temperamental chess-tutor and self-proclaimed genius whose life we follow over the several year span of this farce. While returning to his apartment he is startled by a young runaway girl who is looking for something to eat. Melodie St. Ann Celestine (Evan Rachel Wood ) pleads with him to take her in, which he does, despite going completely against his curmudgeonly nature. After she stays with him for a while, she starts to have feelings for him, and they ultimately get married, despite the 40-odd year difference in ages. This goes fine until her mother Marietta (Patricia Clarkson) locates her. She pleads with Melodie to come home to Mississippi, but Melodie would rather stay. Instead, Marietta is consumed by the freedom to pursue her interests in the big city, and gives up her convictions and moves in with two men. Until, of course, Marietta's husband John (Ed Begley Jr.) arrives to reclaim her and Melodie. Boris endures all of this as you would expect (badly) but is moved to desperation one day when Marietta tells him she's found someone else and is leaving Boris. For the second time in his life he jumps out a window in an attempt to kill himself, only to survive by falling on a passing stranger.
On it's own there's nothing terribly interesting about the story. It's preposterous, true, but it's meant to be silly. It's just a vehicle for some of the ideological positions that Boris offers up. His philosophy of life is that there is nothing important, no underlying meaning or mystery, and that you should take any opportunity to enjoy whatever life gives you, because it's not nearly as much in your control as you could possibly believe. So by doing Whatever Works you at least have some chance at being happy while you're here. Because you're certainly not going anywhere else once you're gone.
What I liked: The philosophical nature of the concepts in the film. I enjoyed the contemplation of the bigger picture, and find myself largely in agreement with the ideas espoused by Boris, though not the the same degree. I found the transformations of the characters from a right-wing stereotype into a left-wing stereotype to be hilarious and irreverent. The witty exposure of the roles we play in our lives was clever, especially with how silly the whole process seemed at the time.
What I disliked: I'm a bit tired of sixty-somethings being love interests of twenty-somethings. It's too creepy for me. I realize it's a farce, but it's wasn't necessary to the rest of the film. And it took away from it. I didn't like Larry David in the movie, and while I think that was largely the script and the film and not his performance, I'm not sure he's free from all rebuke. The movie and most of the performances were just average.

You might wonder what the most sexy thing that athletes did when they're outside the match? I've got a nice answer, still doing sport but with no clothes on! Meet Jang A-Rumee, Korean golfer and model. You know what, this 28-years old girl is love practicing golf with bare body.
Jang A-Rumee also known as Jeongahreum or Jung Ah-Reum was born March 24, 1981 in Seoul, South Korea. She graduated from Yongin University where she majored in golf studies. She was Miss Korea contestant in 2001. She won Miss Korea cleric 2001 and Miss Korea Seoul Sun 2001. And was a host on KBS Sky Sports TV Golf Digest.
Jang A-Rumee or simply Arumee is a Korean professional golfer/model and former beauty queen who dares to show all of her slender figure. The pictures off her showing ass and A-cups breast in the shots were taken in 2004. Unfortunately those photographs did not do Arumee's career any favors in South Korea. Unlike America and other western countries, these kind of pictures or videos seem to be a true career killers in the Asian country.

The last piece of the puzzle is our Engineering Support Department (ESD), the team that manages the product's entire life from launch to obsolescence. They are an integral part of our continuous product improvement as they learn everyday from the field and can bring valuable learnings on situations happening after the launch of the product.
" What I love about my job is that it is definitely not monotonous. Every day I deal with something different, my projects are very varied as we have to manage over 3200 product references, 15 000 spare parts and 2600 accessories. We need knowledge in air tools, electric tools and even hydraulic tools! "
Improving Chicago Pneumatic products is not only about providing more power or making the tool lighter and less noisy, it is also about minimizing all the valueless operations for our customers. We conduct detailed analysis on spare parts consumption (including wearing parts) to propose areas of improvement in the tool's maintenance, to make it quicker and less expensive. To take just one example, our ESD identified that modifying the piston design of the T3 hydraulic torque wrench in the Titan range would reduce joints wear while maintaining product performance. This improvement was implemented, making the life of our customers and end users easier and their day-to-day job more productive.
Chicago Pneumatic's ESD team is also here to support our customers and end users with any specific needs: such as any customization that may be required by an end user's business, or even the development of a solution to a specific challenge.

Afternoon Tea – Take Two
I recently blogged about my Top 3 Afternoon Teas. As a result of that blog post I was invited to two more! This Friday just gone I was lucky enough to be invited to tea at the Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall by a fellow Westminster Guide who is a member and Sunday just gone I was invited to tea at the Athenaeum Hotel on Piccadilly which this year won Best London Afternoon Tea from the Tea Guild (the Oscars of the tea world!).
Going to a St James's club on Friday and a hotel which shares its name with another St James's club on Sunday did make me wonder which came first and whether anyone turns up at the Hotel thinking it is the Club; a friend N has since told me that he once did this and I'm sure he can't be alone. This prompted me to do some research which became quite interesting and will appear as a separate blog post – I may have to include it on a walk now.
The Athenaeum Hotel's afternoon tea was served in the Garden Room which is behind an amazing 8 storey high living wall, the highest in the UK. It was created in 2009 by Patrick Blanc and includes over 12000 plants in 260 varieties.

I took my Mum with me to the hotel mainly as she had missed out on my birthday tea back in June as had had a small fall and wasn't feeling up to going into town.
Now that I have been to a number of afternoon teas I'm beginning to discover they are not all the same. There is also an etiquette attached that differs from hotel to hotel so it's sometimes not easy to do the right thing or know what to expect but I'm gradually getting the hang of it! At the Savoy the silver teapots were all on a stand next to the table; the waiter noticing when we needed topping up and somehow knowing which tea was which; we were a party of 6 and all had different teas. Actually it was quite obvious that the tea was to be poured by them as it was slightly out of reach for us. At other hotels (including the Athenaeum) the teapots are on the table so I assume you help yourself. I suppose it's a bit like when you're in a posh restaurant and the waiter pours your wine for you; not that I go to many of those.
We did pour our own tea but were asked if we wanted a change when they came to refresh the pots; I took them up on their offer. I had started with lapsang souchong which I usually like but this one was a little bit strong for me. I changed to Earl Grey which was good; sometimes I find Earl Grey lacking in the essential bergamot taste. The hotel's teas come from a Canadian company – The Metropolitan Tea Company.
The service of the tea can be different too. At some hotels the tea (sandwiches, scones and cakes) all appear at the same time on a tiered cake stand and it isn't always obvious that you will be offered more. However at the Savoy and also at The Athenaeum Hotel you are served it in courses which I prefer and are asked after each course is served whether you want any more so there is no danger in going away hungry. In fact I had a little accident at the RAC Club in that the chocolate cake sitting on the bottom of the cake stand had melted so as I picked it up it fell apart onto the table; thankfully not the floor.
I prefer the courses as it's easier to take in what they are telling you about the descriptions of all the sandwiches, scones and cakes and you tend to take your time more. The Athenaeum was different again from previous teas I have had in that along with the scones we were served hot buttered crumpets. I'm blaming the crumpets; I think I overdid it a bit (I did have 2 scones in addition to the crumpet) as wasn't able to finish my choice of cakes from the trolley – the third and final course. My Mum was much more sensible having one scone and one crumpet followed by Victoria Sandwich and no little cakes.

After two teas in 3 days I think I had better eat salad for the rest of the week!
However after reading the above and you fancy coming on my Afternoon Tea themed tour around Mayfair I am leading it this Saturday 3rd November at 2pm. http://westminsterwalking.blogspot.co.uk/p/upcoming-public-walks.html
One Response to Afternoon Tea – Take Two

Hello friends, i am 18yrs old guy currently pursuing higher studies. I have met a childhood(we haven't met for the last 9 yrs) friend on facebook a month ago(we haven't met in person). We used to have regular chats on facebook for the past one month. Yesterday she expressed her love to me and i didn't reply to her saying "I need to think". She is cool,friendly and intelligent(she has all the qualities my dream girl has). I think its good to have a life partner like that. But now i doubt that we are just 18yrs old and we haven't met in person for the last 9 yrs so will that be love or infatuation.I don't think it is correct to have such a relationship(with thoughts of love)in this age.Am I correct? what should i tell her?
Thanks in Advance.

Kelsey Grammer getting criticism for lack of car seat
HollywoodNews.com: Kelsey Grammer recently got a lot of criticism for taking his newborn baby to a Playboy mansion party, and now he is getting some more in regard to his childcare.
Kelsey is now getting some criticism for apparently driving in his car with his wife and newborn daughter who was not in a car seat, states TMZ. The two were reportedly arriving at LAX when his wife got into the car without a car seat being available.
However, Kelsey's rep, Stan Rosenfield, has commented that there was a car seat in the vehicle despite it not being seen on video of the incident.

1. To make the marinade, place the olive oil, thyme, orange rind and garlic in a large zip-lock bag and add the ribs. Then rub this marinade mixture into the ribs. Chill for at least 4 hours over overnight is best. Allow to come back up to room temperature before cooking.
2. Preheat the oven to 150°C, gas mark 2. Heat a frying pan over a high heat.
3. Wipe the marinade off the ribs and season them, reserving the marinade. Add to the frying pan in batches and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown.
4. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based casserole (big enough to hold the ribs in one layer). Add the onions, carrots and celery along with the reserved marinade and cook over a high heat for 5 minutes.
5. Pour in the wine and bring to the boil, then cook for a few minutes scraping the bottom of the casserole with a wooden spoon to remove any sediment.
6. Pour in the stock and then return the ribs to the pan and push down to make sure they're all submerged.
7. Cover with a lid and transfer to the oven and cook for 2-3 hours or until the ribs are completely tender but still holding their shape.
8. In the meantime, make the cheesy polenta. Bring the milk to the boil with 500ml of water, the bay leaf and thyme. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 20 minutes, then take out the herbs and bring back to the boil.
9. Add the polenta in a thin steady stream, whisking constantly. Cook for 1 minute (or according to packet instructions) until thickened, then remove from the heat and stir in the butter and Parmesan. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve at once.
10. To make the gremolata, mix together the garlic, parsley and lemon rind in a small bowl and set aside until needed.
11. When the ribs are cooked, transfer them to a dish with a tongs and cover with cling film. Strain the braising liquid into a pan, discarding the vegetables and spoon off the excess fat. Whisk in the treacle then simmer over a low heat until reduced by half, skimming off any fat and scum that rises to the top. Pour back over the ribs.
12. Spoon the soft cheesy polenta into wide rimmed bowls and arrange the ribs on top, then spoon over some of the cooking juices and scatter over the gremolata to serve.

15, Harvey Street, Perth, Ontario, K7H, Canada
St. George HotelPatterson's Hotel
Constructed in 1830, the St. George Hotel is a Georgian-style stone building located at the corner of Harvey and Drummond streets. This two-storey structure is a large and imposing building located in the earliest part of Perth.
The St. George Hotel has been recognized for its heritage value by the Town of Perth, By-law 2524, on 24 January 1984.
The St. George Hotel had a direct relationship to the economic and social development of Perth. Constructed in 1830 by John Doran, a native of Wexford, Ireland and one of the earliest settlers of Perth, this Georgian-style structure was constructed as a private home. However, by 1832, the building had been converted to a hotel by William Cross, a Perth Innkeeper, who advertised in the Bathurst Courier that he had moved to a "Commodious Stone House" and would supply his guests with "choice liquors of all kinds" and a larder stocked "in the good old English style."
From 1832 to 1873, St. George's Hotel was one of many hotels to serve Perth being renamed in 1851, to Patterson's Hotel by the new owner, James Patterson. James had the building newly fitted for travelers or permanent boarders, with comfortable quarters at moderate charges. Sign and carriage painter, James Morrison lived in the house and operated his business in this location from 1874 until 1898. The property has remained primarily a private residence ever since, except for the years between 1953 and 1970 when it was Perth's Jewish Synagogue.
Converted into apartments in 1986, the St. George Hotel's Georgian architecture has provided Perth with a prominent structure in its heritage streetscape. Its location and size make it a conspicuous and familiar landmark in downtown Perth.

Character defining elements that reflect the heritage value of the St. George Hotel include the: - front facade constructed with even-coursed sandstone- sides and rear facades constructed of random rubblestone - deep hip roof - cut stone voussoirs and plain stone lugsills - Palladian window above entrance- recessed front entrance and trim details- 12/12 sash windows- symmetry of the Georgian style - its orientation to the Bathurst District Court House and St. James Anglican Church in the area of Perth's earliest settlement

"Gehenna" (1 November 1996)
Writer: Chris Carter
Director: David Nutter
Editor: Stephen Mark
Quote: "You've seen it, haven't you? Seen the hideous face... Seen the red rain falling in the face of the beast. I've seen it too. I know why you're afraid." --Frank Black
Overview: While the visions of "Pilot" focused exclusively on victims, offering us strobe-lit portraits of immolated men and blood-soaked women, the rapid-fire visuals of "Gehenna" are clearly more concerned with examining the episode's demonic killer. Given the storyline, nothing could be more appropriate. An admittedly confused Frank Black spends much of this episode grappling with uncertainty regarding the true nature of evil and the profiler's dilemma is represented in his trademark flashes of insight. When Frank imagines the face of cult leader Ricardo Clement, clenched teeth and unblinking night-vision goggles are at once swapped for the gaping maw and doglike snout of a winged demon. For the first time in the series, Millennium offers the viewer a tantalizing glimpse at the snarling, bestial face of the demonic presence that would come to be known as Legion. This single, perfectly realized blink-and-you'll-miss-it visual is so distinctive, so disturbing, so unshakably memorable that it would come to be used throughout the series to identify the presence of true evil.
While these hellish visuals could be tied to Frank's mounting uncertainty, they also serve to heighten our own uncertainty regarding the true nature of his unique abilities. Does Frank see the face of Clement as that of a demon because his personal understanding of evil is changing, or is the cult leader truly acting as the embodiment of otherworldly forces? The riddle is furthered somewhat in "Gehenna" by Frank's professional colleagues, the trio of Millennium Group operatives who aid him throughout his investigation into the activities of Gehenna International. Silently, in sidelong glances or quizzical stares heavy with meaning, Peter Watts and Mike Atkins tell us a great deal about Frank's exceptional talents. Without the issue ever being raised aloud, we are left with the distinct impression that the intuitive faculty that Frank Black possesses--whatever its origin or purpose might be--is entirely unique, far beyond the talents and training of even his esteemed mentor. The Millennium Group, it is subtly implied, may understand or appreciate Frank Black's keen perceptive talents better than he does.
Connections: Bob Bletcher recalls the detailed description Frank gave for his gift in "Pilot." Frank discovers an apt identification for the winged, bestial figure that dominates his visions by consulting a biblical passage, Matthew 25:41: "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, 'Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.'"

I actually recall seeing this demonic imagery for the very first time, and considering all the questions that it raised about the nature of evil in Millennium as well as Frank's gift. Was it merely a glimpse at the true nature of a killer that Frank could discern, or was it something more tangible?
I was never a big subscriber to the Legion arc at the time, but it's certainly a fascinating angle to consider further.
- Brian A. Dixon said... October 21, 2010 at 12:53 PM
I would argue that the "Legion arc," as both you and James have referred to it in the past, is simply undeniable. Chris Carter created Millennium in order to explore an "unscientific" understanding of evil, and Legion's presence is strong in this second episode of the series. Whatever questions we may have regarding the nature of the face glimpsed in this episode are addressed unequivocally by the time that "Lamentation" rolls around.
How much can we read into these visions, symbolically speaking? Let's just say I don't subscribe to the theory that Frank Black is simply a man with an overactive imagination.

A little bit of light carving.
What I wanted was something I could dropshot with that unlike a soft plastic lure it would have
some buoyancy. The main advantages of dropshotting is keeping the lure a set distance from the bottom rather than guessing, while also working the lure without changing its position so effectively it gets to dance in a predator's face rather than racing past . The disadvantage is keeping the rod up and the line tight plus it isn't great at any distance. Adding a small float above the hook can work for distance as it keep the line up out of any trouble but inversely it also reduces the distance of cast. So with this aside I thought I would make a floating dropshot lure for a trout and perch water I fish.
I didn't have to look far for inspiration, when it comes to balsa trout lures there is of course Maki Handmade lures; it would be fair to say that if god wanted to make some fishing lures he would probably serve an apprenticeship with Maki. There isn't a lot to say about his workmanship, it would all be a bit superfluous just follow the link http://blog.goo.ne.jp/makilure?fm=rss (and don't forget to come back).
Rather than resort to shell veneers I thought I would stick with foil and also limit my choice of finishes to a bit of black acrylic paint, a dab of red sharpie and 15-20 dibs in some model aircraft dope. One of my aims when I started making lures was to keep it simple and often I find myself jumping headlong into over-complication, while this can be fun I try to remember the person I was when I first began making lures. Keeping it simple means I didn't want to get the airbrush out, I wanted to sit and just make without the hum of a machine or Darth Vader's respirator.
So I sketched up what I thought would go for a prototype, redrew it in a Cad program and then printed it out as templates. Rough shaping the body was easy enough with the parting line between two pieces of 4.5mm balsa giving me a dead centre.
Carving the face required some very light music, I found a YouTube channel that played Gregory Alan Isakov, songs back to back and settled in for the duration. I shouln't really call it carving, it was more a case of cut and sand; balsa being a bit of a pig when comes down to fine details. Carve, fit the through wire and weights, foil, paint with a bamboo skewer and then dip every half hour in dope until I lost count but a least over fifteen times would be a good guess.
So I have my lure it is a little smaller than my index finger and more importantly it has been finished just as the trout season is over so I won't know its true value until next spring. It isn't perfect but I know largely the bits that went wrong and how to avoid them in the future. This is a start and the learning has only just begun so I have quite a lot of fiddling about ahead of me. Maybe if I get a bit better at it I'll make a video.

Salads and Salad Dressings
We served many different kinds of salads at Hizzoner's from entree salads to side salads to salads that were used as sandwich fillings.
We had some signature dressings that were big favorites as well. I've included some of Hizzoner's salads and dressings, and a few of my own for you to make. Nothing like fresh and tasty.
Never eat salad from a vending machine!!!

When Noelle Pikus-Pace's husband, Janson, suggested she return to skeleton racing, she wasn't immediately convinced.
She had retired after coming in fourth in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, by a fraction of a second. He had suggested going back to racing — and doing it as a family — after she had a miscarriage.
"I had so much anxiety about it," Pikus-Pace, who is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said in a recent interview. They made it a matter of prayer.

Cycle Speedway has existed since 1946. The BCSC was founded in 1971. British competitions are run annually, World Championships and European Championships biannually. There are approximately 40 clubs in Britain. There are also clubs in Australia, Poland, Holland, Sweden and the USA.
The sport developed in the late Forties under the influence of motorised speedway which was at the height of its popularity. The ensuing years have seen the image of Cycle Speedway change almost out of recognition although similarities with the motorised version still exist in so much that races take place in an anti-clockwise direction from a standing start on an oval track. Four rclassers race four laps in a sprint to reach the chequered flag which rarely takes longer than 50 seconds. But if the basic formula is similar, the speedway connection loses its grip on a sport which places the emphasis on the fitness skill of its rclassers and amateur competition governed by a comprehensive set of racing rules.
Thanks to www.cyclespeedway.co.uk for this great picture.

I'd like to point out that many Republican voters are not just know-nothing Trump supporters. I think a lot of people are either voting against Hillary or for Republican issues, and they are just tolerating Trump to do so.
They really believe Hillary is worse then Trump. Seems like they are making a deal with the devil to protect their conservative values and the joke is he isn't really a conservative; he's a knucklehead egotist that tells crowds what they want to hear so they'll cheer for him.
Who knows what he'll do if he is actually in office? He doesn't know enough about public service to know there are no quick, easy answers to complex social, economic, and political problems.
The thing that surprises me about this crowd is how they vilify Hillary and minimize Trump's antics, even after the newly released tapes.
Examples: she is a murderer, she promotes abortion, she's been corrupting politics for 30 years, the entire system is rigged and she is part of it, etc. He's just not used to being politically correct, he didn't mean any harm by saying that, all guys talk like that in private, a businessman might help the economy, he'll reduce my taxes, etc.
My brother swears they've been brainwashed by internet propaganda, Tea Party sites, Fox News, Paul Harvey, etc.
