"Meatball Machine"
Have you ever wanted to see a film based solely on the positives you created in your own head? Completely ignoring any cinematic standards or any reviews written on the film? Because, of course, your going to believe what you want to believe anyway. This way of thinking is very true in my case and for my latest film review for the Japanese shock film "Meatball Machine"
'Meatball Machine" is another film among the ranks of the Tokyo Gore- splatter film genres, with a pinch of Sci-Fi. I was curiously drawn to the film solely on genre, but more specifically because Japanese Effects Director Yoshihiro Nishimura helms the ever so, not so easily forgotten style of excessive blood, mutations of grandeur and everything perverse his big brain can throw at you. In this case the film is a complete success for it's costumes and effects. I've come to the realization that the best way to judge Nishimura's FX work is to base it strictly on a physiological basis. If you feel a little queasy or your stomach mildly turns, then the film is usually pretty good. If you experience any worse symptoms then the aforementioned, you better settle in and expect a wild ride.
As for the remainder of the film.... I'll get to that a bit later...after the jump!
"Meatball Machine" pits a young machine worker "Yoji" ( Issei Takahashi) as a lonely member of society. He's not great with the ladies and frequents adult theaters only to receive advancements from a transvestite. When a friend attempts to cheer him up and brings him to a brothel to de-virginize him, he walks out before anything happens.
On a daily basis he longs across a field at the affection of his desire, a young women, a co-worker whom he cannot muster enough courage to share his feelings.
This sub-plot plays second fiddle to the meat of the story that explodingly connects a bit later in the film.
Japan has become infested with parasitic alien creatures that inhabit and take control of human hosts, and when one of the host bodies are met face to face with another, a fight to the death ensues...oh and the winner rips out the alien parasite and eats it upon victory (yeah. not a real family friendly film). One of the more eventful scenes in the film is when a alien is found by "Yoji" outside the porn theatre. He brings it home and puts it in his closet. When he invites his affection home with him, it rears it's ugly head, and horrible scorpion tail, that it inserts inside her vagina, spewing the alien parasite inside her to take control of her. I swear, maybe it was just me, but it looked like she actually took pleasure when that elephants trunk stinger penetrated her Hoo Hoo....eww! This sequence sets off a chain of events that is "Meatball Machine"
Co-Directors Yudai Yamaguchi and Jan'ichi Yamamoto create this concoction based on earlier work written, produced and directed by Yamamoto in 1999. Their science experiment Circa 2005 starts very well- with elements of horrific, excessive gore, violence and welcomed extremism. My first thoughts were " I'm in for gory, gory, goodness".
Like this head split in two!!!!!( Not the best Photo)
Overall the direction was moderately constructed-Costume and Effects were pleasantly expected. The Writing at times, I felt lacked in originality and direction, at times becoming loose, making the pace and energy of the film misplaced. The love story, sub-plot was refreshingly agreeable for sheer ironic purposes. In conclusion the film is a success for any fan of the Japanese bloody madness genre. A little too weird in subject matter for my taste, but it is worth watching....once!

General Dynamics builds federal IT presence
Big Five spinoffs pursue organic growth
The acquisition-fueled rise of defense contractors as information technology players has been one of the most notable trends in the post-Cold War government market.
Lockheed Martin Corp. and Northrop Grumman Corp. have led the defense pack in accumulating federal IT mass. And they are still at it. Lockheed last month announced plans to acquire Affiliated Computer Services Inc.'s government operation, which specializes in outsourcing and managed services.

It is primarily intended for games between two players each controlling a complete army against its historical opponents using a minimum number of figures on a small table.

Later it will be followed by HFG Version 2.0 which will extend the period to 1925 as well as detailed companion sets, initially "Tricorne & Musket" covering 1701-1790, "Shako and Bayonet" for 1791-1850, and "Kepi & Rifle" for 1851-1914.< Less

Ben Cherington on D&C: 'I didn't do a good enough job building a complete offense'
|07.17.14 at 10:04 am ET
Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington joined Dennis & Callahan on Thursday morning to discuss the contract negotiations between the team and Jon Lester as well as the state of the club. To listen to the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
The 2014 season has been a far cry from last year's championship run, as Boston sits in last place in the American League East with a 43-52 record. When it comes to finding a root cause for the Red Sox' struggles, Cherington took responsibility for not adding enough firepower to the lineup. The Red Sox are last in the AL in runs scored (367).
"I think obviously our biggest issue, at least up until very recently, has been offensive production," Cherington said. "I think our pitching has been good enough to win, we just haven't produced offensively. As I look at that, I guess what I would say is that I didn't do a good enough job building a complete offense. … It certainly wasn't our intent. We thought we would have that, we thought we had reason to believe that we could have that going into the year, but the reality is that we have not through a big chunk of the first part of the season.
"That has hamstrung our ability to win games. … In that aggregate, I didn't do a good enough job building a deep enough offense, at least to start the season. We're trying to remedy that, in ways that make sense. It takes time. That's been the flaw of the team more than anything else, so I take responsibility for that."
While contract talks between Lester and the Red Sox has been a hot topic over the last month, Cherington said that there have not been many new developments in the negotiations.
"I think a lot has been written about this," Cherington acknowledged. "I think what I take out of this, more than anything, is what's said if you ask John Henry, Tom Werner, Larry Lucchino, myself, if you ask Jon Lester … I think what all of those people would say is that there's a strong relationship here that goes back 12 years and that strong relationship will allow for a continued dialogue."
Cherington continued: "I think that Jon feels like right now is the time to focus on the field and focus on the team. … There's been a lot of talk, I don't think anything coming from any of those people I just mentioned. … It's out there and I just don't don't put much stock in it and it's because none of it's coming from the people that are actually a part of the conversation."
Cherington said that Lester's statements earlier this year that he would take a hometown discount and the team's reported low-ball offer of a four-year, $70 million contract this spring have not constricted any contract talks between the two parties.
"No, I don't," Cherington said. "Nobody is using any one data point as a means to sort of drive a conversation in one direction or the other. We're all just focused on relying on the relationship that's been built over 12 years as a way to try to find a constructive resolution to a challenging issue."
Cherington said that while he is not ready to wave the white flag on the 2014 season, he added that it's important to be realistic going forward as the Red Sox enter the second half of the year.
"We are going to do whatever we feel gives the Red Sox the best chance to be as good as possible and as quickly as possible and we are not conceding 2014 with that statement," Cherington said. "We feel like the team that we have now is capable of being better than a lot of teams ahead of us in the standings. … We don't see why we can't win more games than most of the teams ahead of us.
"We are where we are, so we also have to be realistic about what that means, so we have to be engaged in the conversations that I talked about and to be in position to make hopefully the right decisions as we get closer to the [trade deadline on July] 31st. … You have to have those conversations, but we're still focused on winning games and we'll be focused on trying to win tomorrow night."

England beat Wales in tour warmup match at Twickenham
Agreed, arguing with the referee is worse than two consenting adults wrestling each other to the floor and going at it for a sustained period, while the officials shout at them to stop because what they're doing is illegal.
I know some people think it's immoral, but I love seeing two big men trying to absolutely destroy each other. It's like Courtney Lawes, his is a bloody impressive tackle and I love seeing it being used on a smaller man.

A report from Comic-Con 2016 on the various ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Star Trek."
"So I Married an Axe Murderer" is a mediocre movie with a good one trapped inside, wildly signaling to be set free. The good movie involves a droll and eccentric Scottish-American family whose household embraces more of the trappings of Scottishness than your average Glasgow souvenir shop. The bad movie is about a young man's romance with a woman he comes to suspect is an ax murderer.
It is one of the film's peculiarities that the same actor, Mike Myers, is the star of both the good and the bad parts. In a dual role, he plays a father and son named Mackenzie. The son, a San Francisco poet named Charlie, stops off at a "foreign meats" shop to buy that unspeakable Scots delicacy called haggis, and falls instantly in love with the butcher, played by Nancy Travis. The father, named Stuart, lives with his wife of many years (Brenda Fricker) in a house where time has stood still since the day he left Scotland. He seems less an immigrant, indeed, than a colonist.
Old man Stuart, phlegmatic and yet excitable behind his thick glasses, is blunt-spoken to the point of verbal assault. He is particularly cruel, for example, on the subject of the big head of Charlie's younger brother. When his wife cautions him not to hurt the boy's feelings, he observes sardonically that no doubt the lad will cry himself to sleep "on his bleepin' huge pillow." I don't know if a market exists for feature-length Scots-bashing, but the domestic scenes in "So I Married an Axe Murderer" had me laughing out loud. More funny moments are provided by Anthony LaPaglia, as Charlie's buddy, an L.A. cop who gives useless advice on such subjects as ax murderers. (The two friends share a tour of Alcatraz during which "Saturday Night Live's" Phil Hartman has a wicked role as a guard who confides, "Everyone here calls me Vicki.") Those scenes approached comic greatness; not so other scenes, unfortunately more numerous, in which young Charlie falls in love with the butcher girl despite his mother's premonitions of danger (she reads and trusts only one newspaper, the Weekly World News, in which a multiple ax-murderess's description seems to match her son's girlfriend to a T).
What eventually sinks the film is the tiresome necessity of resolving the plot. It is all too clear to the audience that the conventions of the plot require (a) that the butcher seem absolutely likely to be an ax murderer, (b) that the evidence be overwhelming, (c) that it seem as if the hero is about to be murdered with an ax, and (d) that there be a surprise resolution. Since we do not give two ticks in a haystack whether or not Travis is an ax murderer, all of these plot points feel like a large waste of time.
If he establishes nothing else in the film, Myers proves that his success in "Wayne's World" was not a fluke. He is very capable and funny here, in roles not unlike those Peter Sellers and Alec Guinness used to play: Eccentrics trapped in worlds that are seemingly normal, yet secretly more bizarre even than their fantasies.
(Editor's note: The makers of this film decided to spell axe with the e; we at the Sun-Times spell ax without the e. Just in case you thought we were sloppy.)

A trip to a foreign country is an exciting prospect — but it can also be cause for a good deal of stress both before the trip and while you're there. Not knowing where you are or where you're going can be part of the fun, it's also good to plan and research the area well ahead of time, to cut down on some of the confusion.
Step 1
Apply for your passport at least six weeks ahead of time. Passports typically take four weeks to process when you're using the regular, non-expedited process, so allowing for a little extra time can reduce the stress of not having your passport in time. You can pay extra to get your passport faster, but that means more hassle.
Step 2
Check out the U.S. Department of State and TSA websites for any safety alerts or warnings about the place you are going to visit. These websites help travelers assess the political and social climate of each destination and can help you decide whether it is safe to travel there. You can also look up the location of the U.S. embassy wherever you are going, which can provide invaluable services for American citizens in foreign countries if things take a bad turn. While most regions are perfectly safe, there are a few destinations that the U.S. government warns travelers away from.
Step 3
Check whether any vaccinations are recommended for the country you're visiting, and get them well in advance. The U.S. Department of State's country-specific information is a good place to start to get some basic information about the country, including information on whether you'll need to apply for a visa. Some vaccinations have side effects, so planning ahead can help you avoid feeling bad when you're on the road. Also get some type of travel medical insurance, just in case.
Step 4
Learn a few basic phrases in the language of the country you'll be visiting by picking up a phrasebook or using an online course. Start early so you're not stressed out by this prospect. If you can, get your travel partners in on the fun and practice together over coffee on Sunday morning, or while you're enjoying a glass of wine on a Friday night.
Step 5
Read a few travel reviews or guidebooks in the weeks before you leave. The library is a good place to find current guidebooks. This helps you get an idea of the good places to visit and the restaurants and hotels that people have enjoyed. Being more informed about what's ahead can make for an easier trip.
Step 6
Reserve hotels and buy your train or airline tickets ahead of time. In most places, booking online is the way to go — but you can also purchase an international phone card or use an Internet-based phone service to call the hotels and booking offices. Booking ahead of time can not only save you money, but cuts down on the stress of not having accommodations or transportation when you need them.
Step 7
Avoid overpacking. It's totally possible to survive for a week — or even a month — with just a carry-on bag, and it will save you the stress of lugging around a huge suitcase, reminds travel guru Rick Steves. Pack items that can work in more than one situation, such as a pair of leather shoes that serve as walking shoes as well as evening wear, for example.
Step 8
Break up where you store your cash and credit cards. Put a card or some cash in your suitcase, but also keep some in your handbag, and more in your money belt. This can help you get out of a jam when something gets lost or stolen.
Step 9
Sign up for an international plan on your mobile phone. That way you'll have access to maps and apps that can help make your trip easier and help you navigate the area.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Timeless themes and values abound in new 'Les Miserables' movie
Barnett recently penned an op-ed piece for the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper in which she recalled her recent conversation with actor Hugh Jackman, who plays Jean Valjean in the new "Les Miserables" movie. Jackman told Barnett that he read the novel twice before filming began, and then on the set he reviewed relevant excerpts from the book every day depending on what scenes he was acting. Ultimately Barnett concluded there is no substitute for Hugo's original words, and exhorted her audience to read the book in addition to seeing the new movie.
"With philosophical insights and poetic language," Barnett wrote, "Hugo keeps us beside Valjean and thus inspires us to continue our struggle: Anyone can lead a better life, feel more love, move toward God, as does Valjean. We can work our own transfigurations if we truly work at them. Even if we feel as downtrodden as Valjean, we have hope."
Redemption and social justice
After the merciful priest inspires Jean Valjean with the notion of God's redemption, the protagonist's odyssey essentially amounts to a series of redemptive acts. For example, Valjean singlehandedly raises Cosette after the death of her mother, Fantine; spares the life of his nemesis, Javert; and rescues young Marius from the barricades.
But the ever-present redemption of Jean Valjean is more than just a means for advancing plot; it's also symbolic of Hugo's hope that his beloved France could be redeemed from the French coup d'état of 1851 that ended the Second Republic and re-established a ruling emperor in the form of Napoleon III.
"The (world) will identify with jean Valjean as we watch his moral progress, from moral failure to redemption," Grossman told the Deseret News. "That's really important in the book as a parallel between individual and collective progress. Hugo is hoping for the redemption of his country. His country has taken a huge step backward: A lot of people are miserable, and the country is a dictatorship."
Barnett explained, "The redemption (of Valjean) would be connected to Hugo's belief that people were progressing, that people could get better, that civilization could get better. That's taking the idea of redemption up to the whole idea of society or culture or civilization."
In making the case that France's redemption is not just possible but actually necessary, Hugo steadfastly shines a light throughout "Les Miserables" on the social ills that, by the 1860s, had come to permeate French society. Fantine, for instance, epitomizes the plight of the desperate women who turned to prostitution in order to survive.
The fact that decent, honest people are still being exploited today is surely an integral part of why "Les Miserables" never stopped resonating with audiences.
"Certainly Hugo is looking at the whole question of the exploitation of men, women and children, which continues to this day all around the world," Grossman said. "He lays it out very clearly in the book, just by enacting the lives of the famous characters. It's a very strong push for this human dignity and faith — you know, caring about your fellow man, woman and child."

The Panama Canal Authority said it is confident in the process it uses to move ships through the new locks at the canal, following an accident last week that damaged the Xin Fei Zhou after it made contact with one of the walls at the Agua Clara Locks.
Ocean carrier MSC has started investing in TRAXENS, a French start-up that produces technology for ocean container tracking.
Although activity increased from the first quarter, total deal volume and value in the transportation and logistics sector was still down 18 percent and 22 percent year-over-year, respectively, according to a new report from PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The freight transportation analyst said its Shippers Conditions Index is at its highest sustained level since 2011, but conditions for shippers should reverse in 2017, as fuel prices increase and regulatory drag tightens capacity.
Both carriers have refuted analyst reports that industry leader Maersk Line intends not just to bring Hyundai Merchant Marine into the 2M Alliance it shares with MSC, but to merge with or buy the struggling South Korean line.
The United States has asked the World Trade Organization to press for China's elimination of export duties on nine different raw materials used in the manufacture of wide range of high-tech and industrial products.

In this paper, polar and spherical Fourier analysis are defined as the decomposition of a function in terms of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian with the eigenfunctions being separable in the corresponding coordinates. The proposed transforms provide effective decompositions of an image into basic patterns with simple radial and angular structures. The theory is compactly presented with an emphasis on the analogy to the normal Fourier transform. The relation between the polar or spherical Fourier transform and the normal Fourier transform is explored. As examples of applications, rotation-invariant descriptors based on polar and spherical Fourier coefficients are tested on pattern classification problems.
