The CineSport video interview for the week. Look for the picture of the obvious hold on Georgia Tech linebacker Steven Sylvester.
September 22nd, 2011
1:45 pm
go GT!
September 22nd, 2011
1:50 pm
hey Al, how about some DB blitzes, when they are dinking the ball short?
September 22nd, 2011
2:54 pm
Our schedule is great.
Gets a little tougher each week.
The Dawgs have played their two big games already and don't have much to look forward to until Florida, except more disappointment that is.

Immovable object vs irresistible force.
The force wins.
You're getting better every week like the team u cover.
September 22nd, 2011
3:10 pm
May the Jackets' force be with you.
September 22nd, 2011
3:19 pm
Agree with juvenal.
Would like to see the 2nd half defense vs Kansas a lot sooner in the game.
This should be fun.
Might be disappointed but I really don't think so.
This team is working hard to get better at every position.
September 22nd, 2011
3:43 pm
Market is down but who cares?
The Jackets are moving up.
It would be funny if the Dawgs face a task like we had vs Kansas last year when a team got embarrassed the week before and so plays their best game in years.
September 22nd, 2011
4:19 pm
I'll just be in this galaxy for a short while.
I'll won't waste time on other blogs now that I have found the most positive one in the country.
I gather 99% of Tech fans are feeling good about their team, the one % being dawg trolls.
71% of Braves fans think their team will not win the wild card.
What losers.

Luke don't give in to the dark side!

KUDOS Good job Ken, you are covering the Jackets well. Keep it up, we are all happy to read and watch your reports.
September 22nd, 2011

Ken, Next time pick up the flip flops (Bottom Right) before you do a video interview.
September 22nd, 2011

Hey Ken where's your GT flags in the background ? LOL!!!!!
September 23rd, 2011
8:38 am
Really appreciate your coverage Ken, nice to hear some good local analysis. Not many Jackets in KY so look forward to the reports and blogs. Keep it up!

You might as well show a Pop Warner team for UNC since that is how they will look against us after we beat them by 69.
September 23rd, 2011
9:12 am
NASA Jacket:
Lets not get ahead of ourselves.
UNC will be a VERY tough task tomorrow.
I think UNC will go ALL-OUT to run the ball, to keep our Offense off the field.
IMO, a late field goal might decide this, either way.
Win Jackets. And stay healthy !!
September 23rd, 2011
12:26 pm
See you tomorrow on the flats. Doubt you'll score on us like you did Kansas but we'll know in less than 24 hours.
GO HEELS! BEAT tech!
September 23rd, 2011
2:07 pm
Sorry UNC, but you're in our way. Go Jackets!!!
September 23rd, 2011
3:53 pm
It's only holding if you get caught'
September 23rd, 2011
3:56 pm
CPJ doesn't believe in FGs so we'll have to win by a number of TDs.
September 23rd, 2011
9:41 pm
Tech fans,
Congrats on your early season success. Lord knows us Dawg fans are hurting, but seriously on the Star Wars references?? Really? Seriously? What's next, Dragon Con? Stop embarrassing yourselves!

Sounds of a Litophone send through a Reaktor 5 graintwister - those twisted grains were also pitch transposed and send through a convolution reverb with the Impulse response of the tube of a vacuum cleaner. The resulting sum was then send through a self resonating delay mixed live with the grain sounds.
Beautiful work! Is there any chance you got the grain sounds separately?
Great work!

In the tradition of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and the even creepier Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007, our protectors have now launched their most intrusive and tyrannical (at least, to date) measure ever to quash dissent:
It was revealed last week that firefighters are being trained to not only keep an eye out for illegal materials in the course of their duties, but even to report back any expression of discontent with the government.
A year ago, Homeland Security gave security clearances to nine New York City fire chiefs and began sharing intelligence with them. Even before that, fire department personnel were being taught "to identify material or behavior that may indicate terrorist activities†and were also "told to be alert for a person who is hostile, uncooperative or expressing hate or discontent with the United States.â€

I did what you said and the apple logo appeared but then it says "connect to itunes".
Ok. Just restarted the computer.
It did before. Now it doesn't.
says itunes has detected ipad in recovery mode. you must restore this ipad before it can be used with itunes.
Did that. It says my my ipad software is up to date but when I hit restore it says it cannot connect to the ipad software update server.
Yes in itunes on my PC. I am logged into my itunes account now.
okay. it's updating itunes.
try what again? to restore in itunes?
I did that and now it's giving me the same message as before.
Not sure, but it's the original ipad and i've never updated the iOS.
I've tried 10 times and I cannot get into DFU recovery mode.
Ok ... so do I need to re-submit my original question? Do you know if I still make the full payment?
Windows XP
I can't get to run. I don't see that option.
It did not prompt me to restart. It said "the requested operation requires elevation".
yes please
It says the application download did not succeed and I should check my network connection or contact my adminstrator.
I think just recently. Not sure.
When you say "network" what exactly does it mean?

A huge thanks to everyone for taking the time to join the fun here at TRS's Thanksgiving party! I had a blast and hope you all did too!
Thank you TRS for hosting this amazing event.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, with new memories and traditions made, new pie recipes being fought over, and new ovens begin added to the "Must Have" lists because we set fire to the ones we have ;)
On that note, I'll be leaving you with one final excerpt from Temptation Unleashed.
He was so close. The heat of his body caressed her. The scent of him caused her womb to tighten and her clit to ache. The airy brush of his breath made her lips itch for his. She didn't care if he took her last breath.
Locks of blond hair cascaded down around her face, coming to rest against her bare arms.
"Hate, my dear, is a strong word to use when someone protects you from danger you stand no chance of overcoming," Thaddeus said, his voice low, guttural, limb-quivering, seductive. Nothing presented a greater danger to her than this man. For that, she hated him. "A show of appreciation is held in high regard when one stands up to a threat on another's behalf. I do believe 'tis common among humans as well?"
She lifted her hands to push him away. When her palms flattened against his thick shoulders, the cool, silken strand of hair entangling between her fingers, she moaned. Her face flushed. A new wetness dampened her panties. She fought to keep her eyes open. Against the heels of her hands, she detected the sudden acceleration in his heartbeat and felt the broken breaths as they licked at her ear.
She hated him because he turned her on. He made her hot, despite her fear of intimacy.
She needed to get out of the corner of the sofa and get distance between them. Shifting best she could beneath him, linking her leg around his for leverage, she gripped his shoulders and tried to push him away.
His breath continued to seduce her, filling her ear and sending delightful chills coasting all over her. She turned her head and froze the instant her lips brushed his. Her world came to a screeching halt, as did her lungs. A moment turned into eternity, lips barely touching, but a ravenous hunger bursting to life. Invisible cords rooted into her, tugging her closer to him, urging her to complete a circuit that crossed a dark void in her soul. A void that had never been there before.
Don't. Don't. Don't.
Conscience chanted its warning, but she couldn't listen. She hung on a ledge between desire and danger. Her body quivered beneath the high-charged anticipation.
Kiss me before I explode.
Thaddeus pulled back enough to look down at her. Stormy tendrils of gray curled around the Arctic blue of his eyes, darkening them to a beautiful sea blue. The hard, cruel features of his face softened.
She slackened, sinking into the cushions, and drew in a deep breath.
Never had she expected to be brazen enough to pull Thaddeus down to her until his lips pressed to hers, gently easing them open.
Thoughts eluded her the moment his tongue swept through her parted lips and slid over hers. She met his slow kiss, disbelief and delight warring in her mind.
He tasted like the richest dessert, the hottest spice, the most forbidden ambrosia. She wanted more, craved more, needed more, because if she were sober, the nightmare that came with this very man unraveling her with his fulfilling kiss would darken this glorious moment.
His fingers trailed down her neck and drew a tingling path between her breasts, coming to rest over her stomach.
"No more alcohol," he murmured against her mouth.
He plundered her with his kiss, the carefully contained hunger unleashed. She arched into him, seeking his touch, pulling him closer. Her body temperature rose, heat encompassing her until she feared she'd pass out.
The pressure against her belly lifted, taking with it the fever and leaving her mind, and her body, in a state of sobriety. Gone without residue were the foul effects of her indulgence.
Gone was the euphoria that soaked her to the bones.
Rori had no trouble focusing her mind, nor did she have trouble realizing what was happening, and with whom.

I figure that having either The XX or The Postal Service on the outdoor would result in a clusterfuck situation (Sigur Ros wouldn't, but here we are), so I've squeezed the xx back onto the main:

Yeah, that looks a little better... I still don't get how the XX is subheadlining. I just don't get the appeal. None of their songs are catchy, and their music is boring. Hell, if i had sex to their music I'd probably pass out before i could climax
i get less is more. Bon Iver was incredible last year, and he takes the same approach. You want to know the difference between the 2? Bon Iver's catalogue is pure gold, the XX has 3 good songs and the rest is shit
One doesn't need to write a dissertation to prove that the XX suck. All you need is ears

bat for lashes and biffy clyro also taking decent spots, wouldn't mind seeing grizzly bear and event violent femmes but ii'll miss both for these.
being weekend 2 let's me see the set times before i travel too
Soooo what you all are saying is that xanman was right about Sigur Ros being on main. I don't know what to think anymore.
New Order vs Phoenix would a terrible conflict for me, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't happen. Luckily I am seeing Phoenix in Orlando in May though.
Phoenix - 11:30 - 1
The XX - 10:15 - 11:05
The Postal Service - 9 - 9:50
Sigur Ros - 7:30 - 8:30
Dropkick Murphys - 12:10 - 1
New Order - 11 - 12
Hot Chip - 9:50 - 10:40
Grizzly Bear - 8:35 - 9:25
i hope i'm right.
Something about Sigur Ros on the main just doesn't make sense. I have read previously the band say they will not perform at festivals anymore unless it is in complete darkness. Sunset is around 8, W1 and a little after 8 on W2... so would Sigur Ros really take the stage at 7:30?
source: http://pitchfork.com/news/47794-sigu...ival-disaster/sigur rós would like to apologise to anyone disappointed not to see the band's bestival performance live online last night. early in the day a decision had been made to delay broadcast till after the show to give the band a chance to review the footage ahead of webcast, since they were dismayed that their guaranteed "darkness" slot had been pushed into daylight by the expansive demands of the headliner. the band's only uk show of the year, this would-be highlight of the 2012 calendar, would have to be conducted without proper lights or visuals. sadly then, a perfect storm of production issues and technical problems conspired to mean that the band went on to have a thoroughly miserable experience on stage too. and to spare everyone's blushes a decision was made to draw a discrete veil over proceedings. sorry, but we can be so much better than what you missed. another time, for sure.
I'm thinking switch The Postal Service with Cafe Tacvba, who will play the 7:30 slot. Sigur Ros bumped up before the XX. Postal Service takes the subheadlining slot before New Order on the Outdoor.
Sidenote: I still hope Hot Chip is in a tent. Come on Goldenvoice.
I just have a hard time believing The xx, The Postal Service AND Sigur Ros will ALL be on the main.
If Sigur Ros is on the main, then Postal Service in The Weeknd's timeframe of last year seems logical. I mentally had them on the outdoor until I saw their billing, and if that is now an option, I think it makes sense. The Weeknd was lower billed, of course, but that crowd was enormous.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but Theophilus London tweeted that he's playing the Main Stage on Saturday for both weekends...

Prayer For the Church
Dr. Sproul starts off this section discussing prayer and the need for it and does this by relating an experience shortly after becoming a Christian and meeting some people that knew how to pray. He then goes into the passage and focuses on the unity we as believers should have … Listen
Sin's Advantage in the Law
Paul advises that the law tells me what is sin and that his sin is stirred to even greater sinfulness because we are inclined to sin. Dr Sproul explains that "we are not sinners because we sin, but we sin because we are sinners." Additionally the concept of the law … Listen
Israel's Rejection & God's Justice (Part 1)

Chicago Bulls shooting guard Richard Hamilton (32) shoots past Milwaukee Bucks forward Tobias Harris (15) as Bulls' Joakim Noah, left, Bucks' Samuel Dalembert (21) and John Henson (31) watch during the first half of an NBA basketball game, Monday, Nov. 26, 2012, in Chicago. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
Ersan Ilyasova scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half and the Milwaukee Bucks overcame a 27-point deficit in a stunning 93-92 win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night.
Richard Hamilton scored a season-high 30 points for the Bulls but missed a shot at the buzzer that could have won it.
Ilyasova led a 31-4 second half-run as the Bucks snapped a nine-game losing streak to Chicago and prevented the Bulls from moving past Milwaukee into first place in the Central Division.
Ilyasova scored 12 points in the fourth quarter when Milwaukee outscored Chicago 30-12. Milwaukee played the entire fourth quarter with five reserves: Ilyasova, Epke Udoh, Beno Udrih, Mike Dunleavy and Doron Lamb.
John Henson, Udrih and Udoh all scored 11 points while Monta Ellis added 10. The Bucks hadn't beaten Chicago since April 6, 2010.
Hamilton was coming off a season-high 22 points in Chicago's 93-86 win at Milwaukee on Saturday. Kirk Hinrich added a season-best 17 points and six assists.
Chicago had one final chance after Dunleavy failed to inbound a pass under the Milwaukee basket. Udoh knocked the ball out of bounds reaching for Dunleavy's pass with 7.5 seconds left and Chicago called a timeout. Hamilton took an inbounds pass and shot a fadeaway at the buzzer over Lamb from 15 feet, but came up short.
Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 11 rebounds for Chicago. Luol Deng added 10 points and eight boards.
The game was reminiscent of the biggest lead the Bulls ever blew at home, which was a 35-point lead in a home loss to the Sacramento Kings on Dec. 21, 2009.
Hamilton and Boozer combined for 17 points in the third period as Chicago seemingly blew the game open.
The Bulls outscored Milwaukee 28-13 in the third period and opened up a 27-point lead on Hinrich's 3-pointer with 2:50 to go in the third quarter. That gave Hinrich his season-high for points, just the third time he's reached double digits this season.
Hamilton scored eight of his 17 first-half points in the second quarter as Chicago took a 48-40 lead at halftime.
Milwaukee hit just 20 percent from 3-point range (3 of 15). The Bucks entered the game shooting 16 percent from deep over its last three games (10 of 62).

Scored on two of them. * Rinne made 10 saves while the Blues were on the power play. * St. Louis' Jake Allen came into the game in relief of starter Brian Elliott. * It was Allen's first career NHL appearance. * Som

Investing in South Africa
R9bn prawn hatchery for Coega13 December 2007 Port Elizabeth-based empowerment firm Sea Ark Africa has announced its intention to invest R9.2-billion in a high-tech giant prawn farming facility at the Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) in the Eastern Cape. The 1�200 hectare plant is expected to reach full capacity by 2014 and employ up to 11�000 people. "Besides making a huge contribution to the future of the Coega IDZ and the Eastern Cape economy, Sea Ark will have a direct and positive effect on the lives of thousands of families in the surrounding communities, particularly Motherwell," Sea Ark chief executive Gavin Watson said in a statement on Tuesday. "By creating jobs and opportunities for small businesses, Sea Ark will contribute to the empowerment of the people in the Nelson Mandela Metro and beyond." The move follows a successful pilot phase in which South African and US scientists worked with project management company BuildAll and information technology company Sondolo IT to perfect the world's first closed bio-secure prawn farming system. Sea Ark, BuildAll and Sondolo IT all belong to the Bosasa Group of companies, a diversified broad-based black economic empowerment (BEE) organisation that operates nationally. "The advanced technology, combining computer driven control systems with advanced biological science, will dramatically change the way prawn and shrimp are produced in the world," says Sea Ark. Producing the jumbo shrimp which are in high demand on the US, Japan, Europe and other markets, the pilot project has proven that the innovative mix of science and technology has the ability to grow prawns faster, with lower food consumption and greater densities than in any other system currently operating worldwide. Sea Ark states that when fully rolled out by 2014, the Coega plant will have the capacity to produce 20�000 tons of prawns a year, most of which are expected to be exported, contributing positively to South Africa's balance of payments. "Through our biosecure indoor ponds and by using our proper nutritional system, we are able to maximise size, growth, survivability and biomass - and through this obviously we are able to maximise productivity," said Sea Ark international president Dave Wills. "What prawn farms across the world do in three to four months, we do in 10 to 11 weeks. We can literally grow a prawn to the same size as our competitors two to three times faster." An economic impact study has shown that besides creating 11�000 largely semi-skilled and unskilled direct jobs when the project has grown to full maturity in six years, Sea Ark's Coega facility has the ability to generate 88�000 indirect employment opportunities in support industries ranging from transport to catering, security, construction and maintenance. "Besides 1�000 jobs for women in the prawn processing facility to be built as part of Sea Ark's job rollout, there will be significant numbers of skilled posts for laboratory technicians, marine biologists, software specialists, and engineers," Sea Ark said.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The cost to Rhode Island of not repaying the money owed after 38 Studios' bankruptcy would exceed the amount of the debt, the head of a business-backed public policy group told House lawmakers Thursday.
John Simmons, executive director of the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council, testified before the Oversight Committee that the question isn't whether the state would be penalized, in reputation and borrowing costs, if it defaults on the bonds that financed the 38 Studios deal. He said the question is by how much.
Simmons noted that rating agencies including Moody's have already said Rhode Island would face bond rating downgrades, probably by multiple notches.
Rhode Island still owes some $87 million from the deal that gave 38 Studios a $75 million state-backed loan. The state's economic development agency is suing 38 Studios founder and ex-Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling and 13 others over the company's collapse, saying the agency's board was misled into approving the transaction.
Simmons presented to the panel an analysis of default that projected increased borrowing costs of anywhere from $82 million — the best case scenario — to $167 million over 20 years. That doesn't include what Simmons called additional costly effects, including on historic tax credit bonds and other future borrowing.
"We're not going to punish anybody but ourselves if we don't pay," Simmons said, adding that lawmakers need to set aside the "emotional" issue of how the state got to this point — through a deal now widely disparaged as foolish.
"Is this really what we want to be known for?" he said of a default on the moral obligation bonds, for which repayment is not a legal requirement.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee's administration has said the state must honor the debt — no matter how distasteful it is to pay. He too has cited harm to the state's financial reputation and significantly higher borrowing costs.
The General Assembly last year approved shelling out the first appropriated funds — $2.4 million — to the bondholders, but only after heated debate. That debate is ramping up again as lawmakers will soon consider whether to appropriate $12.5 million for the next installment, and similar payments in future years.
Some in the Statehouse, including Oversight Chairwoman Karen MacBeth, have advocated for default, saying the insurer should cover the cost of the bonds.
"This committee isn't about, is it cheaper or not to pay?" the Cumberland Democrat told Simmons. "It's whether we should or should not."
Vice-Chairman Spencer Dickinson said he does, in fact, want the state to be known for default.
"My constituents believe that the reputation of this state would improve if we cut ourselves loose from this messy problem," he said.
MacBeth said she plans to bring other witnesses with opposing viewpoints before the panel. An independent report called for by the General Assembly on the consequences of default is due out soon.

Ride the Resurgence of the Housing Market With These Stocks
Damian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The recovery of the housing market will help companies disproportionately, because some have weathered headwinds better than others. Also, restructuring will play a key role in providing new opportunities. Let us look at the prospects of Home Depot (NYSE: HD), Lowe's (NYSE: LOW), and Fastenal (NASDAQ: FAST).
Learning from the competition
When good conditions help the economy, a mammoth company will surely benefit from it. Home Depot is a mammoth and will benefit from the housing market recovery. Some evidence can be found in the recent dividend increments (an increase of 69.5% in the last four years).
Home Depot has gone through an important restructuring of its business model. In few words, the company has shed peripheral activities and concentrated on more traditional ones. Its professional supply and ancillary retail business have gone out the window. Now, the firm is focused on closing the gap opened by Lowe's, concerning supply chain and information technology infrastructure.
The restructuring proposed by Home Depot is expected to take the company to a higher ground. Meanwhile, its stock trades at 20 times consensus earnings, slightly below the industry average. While the stock is fairly priced, it still has room to run. Results depend on learning from the competition and avoiding simple mistakes.
Financially, Home Depot is not enjoying the best times because its debt level is high. Nevertheless, yield is higher than the competition at 1.85%, revenue has increased in the last four years, and cash flow has risen during the last two years. Given that the U.S. economic recovery has had a positive impact, and is expected to keep driving revenue up, it is recommended to buy this stock.
Not so fast, but steady growth
Fastenal is a company that has a history of keeping customers and shareholders happy, and sports a stable operating margin. The firm works on a business model focused on local needs by decentralizing operations. Such model has allowed the business to be profitable, maintaining a strong cash flow.
Positive results are the consequence of Fastenal's initiatives. The introduction of FAST Solutions and Pathway-to-Profit strategy have fueled part of the growth. Additionally, the company has multiplied stores, although intermittently, the pace has reflected management preoccupation for a steady all-around growth. FAST Solutions has deepened switching costs, at the same time, it has helped customers control expenses. Meanwhile, Pathway-to-Profit has improved market share and same-store sales.
On the downside, Fastenal has reported that daily sales growth has declined in the last four quarters. At the same time, operating margins have been put under pressure from rising costs for raw materials and fuel. Additionally, larger competitors are expected to enter the market, forcing the company to compete on price. The impact has already been felt as cash flow has declined over the last four years.
Fastenal remains financially strong, with no debt and rising revenue. The stock is currently trading at a premium to the industry average while offering a conservative dividend yield (1.55%). Nevertheless, for an investor looking for a long-term investment, it is recommended to buy this stock as the U.S. economic recovery will drive this company's growth.
Past the sweet time
Lowe's Q1 2013 report left a somewhat ambivalent feeling. While revenue fell 0.5%, net earnings rose 2.5%, and management hopes for a 4% increase in total sales for 2013. Nonetheless, strong competition from Home Depot remains an issue, and the firm did not match shareholders' expectations.
On the bright side, Lowe's business model remains ahead of the competition, although Home Depot might be copying it. The U.S. economic recovery, especially in the housing market, will ease competition. Additionally, a new client-focused strategy, which provides customers with a closer relationship with specialists, is expected soon. Also, further investment on owned brands should drive profits up.
When looking at fundamentals, Lowe's is trading with a similar premium (18%), but more conservative earnings and revenue estimates than the competition. Financially, the company is also facing a growing debt issue because cash flow and revenue have stagnated during the last four years.
In all, Lowe's has performed well in the past, increasing revenue and rewarding shareholders. But today, the situation is different and the sweet spot for buying stock is gone. It is recommended to hold until the end of the summer season to see whether the firm is able to pick up again.
Bottom line
It is recommended to buy Fastenal or Home Depot because business model restructuring will allow them to better seize the opportunities provided by the U.S. economic recovery. Lowe's is not a bad stock, but its current standing is below the competition. Also, the growing cycle is past its peak and competition has put noticeable pressure by chipping into revenue.
With the American markets reaching new highs, investors and pundits alike are skeptical about future growth. They shouldn't be. Many global regions are still stuck in neutral, and their resurgence could result in windfall profits for select companies. A recent Motley Fool report, "3 Strong Buys for a Global Economic Recovery," outlines three companies that could take off when the global economy gains steam. Click here to read the full report!

"Map of the Human Heart" tells a soaring story of human adventure - adventure of the best kind, based not on violence, but on an amazing personal journey. It is incredible sometimes what distances can be traveled in a single human life, and this is a movie about a man who could not have imagined his end in his beginning.
The story begins in the 1930s in the Arctic, where a young Eskimo boy is fascinated by the map-making activities of a visiting British cartographer named Russell (Patrick Bergin). The boy is named Avik (played as a boy by Robert Joamie, and as a man by Jason Scott Lee). Because Avik says "Holy Boy!" when he means "Holy Cow!" he comes to be known as Holy Boy in the movie.
The mapmaker arrives at the Eskimo settlement by airplane, an astonishing sight, and when he leaves he takes the boy with him - because Avik has tuberculosis, and can be treated in Montreal. The city itself is an unbelievable sight for Avik, who did not imagine such places existed. And in the hospital, he makes a lifelong friend - Albertine, played as a girl by Annie Galipeau and later, as a woman, by Anne Parillaud (from "La Femme Nikita").
She is half Indian, half white. Avik is half Eskimo, half white. And the movie shows them standing halfway between their two worlds. For Avik, the meeting with Russell will change his life forever, setting in motion a chain of events that eventually leads to Britain during World War II, where Avik becomes an aerial photographer on bombing missions against Germany. And it is in England that he meets Albertine once again - only to find that she is involved with Russell.
This sort of romantic triangle could easily have collapsed into soapy melodrama, but Vincent Ward is too intelligent to go for the obvious treatment of this story. He doesn't allow his characters cheap sentiment, and indeed as Avik and Albertine renew their love from so long ago, we see two of the most astonishing romantic scenes I've ever seen in a movie - one on top of a barrage balloon, the other inside the hollow ceiling of the Royal Albert Hall.
The entire story of Avik is told in flashback. The movie begins in the present, with a new mapmaker (John Cusack) visiting the Eskimo village, where Avik, now an old man, tells him his story. The device at first seems unnecessary, but by the end of the film, as we see how Ward uses it to come full circle, it becomes a strength.
Ward is a young New Zealander whose previous film was also strange and original. "Navigator" (1988) was about medieval adventurers in the time of the plague, who begin to tunnel to what a mystic tells them is salvation, and somehow find their way through a time warp into a modern city - where they begin to climb the spires of a cathedral.
Oddly enough, this theme is very similar to "Map of the Human Heart," where once again the hero flees disease and finds his destiny in a modern city. Where "Navigator" was sometimes bleak and obtuse, however, "Map of the Human Heart" is a juicier, more involving film.
Much of its power comes from the charisma of the actors.
Jason Scott Lee, a newcomer who also stars in the current "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story," brings a joy and freshness to the early scenes, and makes a good contrast to the older Avik, who has lost his way.
Anne Parillaud, as in "La Femme Nikita," is a combination of warmth and steely courage, and she is best in those scenes where she feels empathy for Avik, so far from home. And Patrick Bergin handles a difficult role with delicacy; he is not precisely the villain, and in some ways is a hero in this story, but when the heart is involved all motives can grow murky.
Robert Joamie and Annie Galipeau, the actors who play the young characters, also have special qualities. When Avik and Albertine become friends in the hospital, for example, there is a magical scene, played in a tent made of bed sheets, in which they exchange their deepest secrets. And when Avik leaves the hospital, he takes with him an odd photograph - Albertine's X-rays, which will figure throughout the film. It almost makes sense, later, that they communicate through notes on aerial photographs, which Avik takes and Albertine catalogues, and that in turn is the link that leads to an extraordinary scene involving the fire-bombing of Dresden.
One of the best qualities of "Map of the Human Heart" was that I never quite knew where it was going. It is a love story, a war story, a lifetime story, but it manages to traverse all of that familiar terrain without doing the anticipated. The screenplay, by Louis Nowra, based on a story by Ward, deals with familiar emotions but not in a familiar way. The best movies seem to reinvent themselves as they move along, not drawing from worn-out sources, and "Map of the Human Heart" is one of the year's best films.

BAMcinématek is dedicating this 14-film series dedicated to the country's unique and widely influential musical tradition. Throughout decades of political unrest in Jamaica and racial violence against Caribbean immigrants in Europe and North America, reggae in all its forms has endured as an essential conduit for social protest, individual expression, and spiritual exploration. It has also single-handedly paved the way for rap/hip-hop, the remix (invented in the early 70s in Jamaica), not to mention later cross-pollinated genres like drum and bass, reggaeton, and dubstep

I Didn't Need A Study To Tell Me That I'm a Shoe Queen. Listen, YOU Should Be Too
Poll Finds Women Own (MERELY) 17 Pairs of Shoes… are they "fashion" women? Where is your inner Imelda, ladies?Don't get me wrong, I completely have respect for bag people. But the idea of of changing my handbag every 5 minutes never really thrilled me.However, in full disclosure, I do own a lot bags and some very "good' ones. Yet, it's still not my thing.BUT, can we talk shoes?!Maybe it's from having big feet and I feel a need to compensate. Maybe it's simply that you can ruin an outfit with the wrong shoes and make a mediocre one appear that much better with the right shoes.Or, because cheap-looking shoes make an expensive outfit look instantly cheap. Or, perhaps it is because shoes are so telling of your personality and style. Then again, there's my ongoing loathing for gladiator platforms and dingbat open toe boots so I reinforce it with the need to have a million other stylish shoe choices, right at hand in my closet!Therefore, when I read the ShopSmart poll which states that the average women owns 17 pairs of shoes, I had to beg for pause.Published on March 16, 2011
