One approach to building conversational (dialog) chatbots is to use an unsupervised sequence-to-sequence recurrent neural network (seq2seq RNN) deep learning framework. About a year ago, researchers (Vinyals-Le) at Google published an ICML paper "A Neural Conversational Model" that describes one such framework; a review can be found here. The Vinyals-Le paper (and associated framework) is instructive in understanding some of the parameters of such seq2seq chatbot models. We assume that Vinyals-Le used Tensorflow, though this is not explicitly stated in the paper.
Note that seq2seq may not be the best way to build a truly conversational chatbot ; the Vinyals-Le chatbot is more of a Q/A system that originated in machine translation. As Vinyals-Le note, in machine translation and Jeopardy-playing Q/A systems, the context is limited to the current question. In an extended dialog-based conversational system, the context needs to be maintained across multiple Q/A sequences. Maintaining context over a period of time is a key requirement for dialog systems. Seq2seq just happens to be a simple framework that is easy to generalize across domains and is purely data-driven. For a general discussion of alternatives, refer to this post ; the taxonomy presented there would identify the Vinyals-Le method as a generative model which learns responses using historical data. Many existing production systems such as the Google Assistant use retrieval-based methods, such as the Tensorflow model presented here.
Vinyals-Le present two different applications of this model: IT Helpdesk Troubleshooting (a vertical chatbot) and Movie Dialogs (an horizontal chatbot). By vertical chatbots, I mean closed-domain chatbots that are focused on particular vertical applications. By horizontal chatbots, I mean open-domain chatbots like Siri, Google Assistant or Alexa. Vertical chatbots are easier to build than horizontal ones, and are often the ones needed in enterprise applications like the IT helpdesk application identified in this paper. Additionally, in vertical chatbots, data for the input context usually originates from domain-specific enterprise systems, and the desired output is often an action to be executed on one or more back-end enterprise systems. You could say that vertical chatbots are often goal-driven systems where the purpose of the conversation or dialog is to obtain information to execute some action. This has design implications: for example, intent classification is less of an issue since the vertical domain provides considerable context for the conversation.
Unsupervised learning, in the chatbot context, implies that the model can be trained directly from historical chat log data (transcripts), without the need for any human labeling. If the aim is to primarily build a Q/A system, we can treat conversations as input Q/A pairs, where each sentence in the conversation is both an answer to a previous sentence, and a question to the next sentence; that is, each sentence appears in two Q/A pairs. This is the approach Vinyals-Le had taken for their horizontal bot. But for their vertical bot, they have explicitly introduced turn-taking and used previous Q/A pairs as context while generating response to a given question; this is necessary to retain context across the dialog. Their conversations were about 400 words long (on average), and their training corpus had 30M tokens. This translates to about 75K conversations. Assuming 20 words per sentence on average, there are about 20 sentences in each conversation.
The size and content of the vocabulary is a key model parameter. The smaller the vocabulary, the lesser the training time. Vertical chatbots need a vocabulary tailored to the specific problem. For example, in this Vinyals-Le paper, for the IT helpdesk application, they used the most common 20K words, presumably derived from the corpus. They used special tokens like <URL>, <COMMAND> and <NAME> to deal with entities whose values are important to the conversation, yet cannot be in the vocabulary. This is necessary to distinguish these entities from the catchall <UNKNOWN> symbol which refers to words in the corpus that are not in the vocabulary (out-of-vocabulary, OOV). A small vocabulary leads to more <UNKNOWN> OOV tokens; handling these unknowns is one of the challenges of building a vertical chatbot with a tailored compact domain-specific vocabulary. See this Luong-et al Google paper for one approach to handling this OOV problem, albeit in the context of machine translation.
Vinyals-Le don't fully describe how they handle the OOV problem. It appears that they have removed these entities from the training corpus and replaced them with these special tokens. The problem with this approach is that the model will not be able to handle these OOV entity values, and reason with them, when they are presented as part of a conversation. However, Vinyals-Le's model does handle OOV entities such as URLs. My guess is that they handle it through a separate input pre-processing and output post-processing step that uses a separate dictionary of these OOV entity values that is independent of the vocabulary. This would be similar to the approach used in the Luong-et al Google paper mentioned above; these OOV entities are traced back to their appearance in the source system (the input corpus). Regardless of how they are handled, these OOV entity values are important in vertical enterprise applications, since actions resulting from these conversations are tied to the specific values for these entities (such as URL or phone number).
Other important model parameters are the number of layers, the types and number of cells used in each layer, the maximum number of words allowed in each sentence (input and output), and the word embedding size. For the vertical bot, Vinyals-Le used 1 layer with 1024 LSTM cells; more typical values for chatbots are 3 layers and 512 cells. They didn't specify the maximum sentence length, but based on the above discussion, we can assume this to be 20. Note that this parameter is important, because the Tensorflow seq2seq implementation pads all sequences (both input and output) to the same fixed length; this may be less of an issue for RNN / seq2seq implementations that allow for variable sequence lengths. A large value for maximum sentence length will require a correspondingly large memory allocation, while a smaller value will result in the inability to handle large sentences. 20 words per sentence is a reasonable compromise since most chat dialogs involve small sentences. Vinyals-Le also don't specify the embedding size, but a typical value is 256. Like with all deep learning systems, higher values for these parameters will result in more complex models that require more training time and large datasets to prevent overfitting. There are many other relevant parameters, some specific to RNNs such as the use of GRUs instead of LSTMs, attention mechanisms, regularization, mini-batch size, number of epochs, learning rate, loss function and optimization algorithm (stochastic gradient descent, AdaGrad, Adam etc).
Seq2seq chatbot models, like the Vinyals-Le approach, provide a simple way to build unsupervised vertical chatbots. The advantage of these models is their simplicity and their generality, with little need for domain-dependent rules. The disadvantages include adaptation to the task of building chatbots (given their origins in machine translation and Q/A), difficulty maintaining context in lengthy conversations, and holding a dialog with a consistent personality (though this is less of an issue for vertical bots compared to horizontal bots). While a lot of (media) attention has been paid to horizontal chatbots like Google Assistant, Siri and Alexa, vertical chatbots, tailored to specific enterprises and domains might be a bigger business opportunity.

Shelf Life: A Restaurant with an Expiration Date
Is cooking an art or a science? Or both? Find out from 28 September – 18 November.
Many people may think it is more of an art, but lately we have seen a lot of food wizards showing to us that the secret of cooking actually has all to do with science. It is about techniques, about chemistry, about physics. And many chefs unlock this secret. We now see molecular gastronomy techniques used at neighborhood restaurants, not only at the Michelin-starred anymore. However, it is always exciting to see someone take the 'lab' approach to create great dishes.
And it is now in Zurich, where a group of chemists, scientists, engineers who are passionate about food, have come together as an entity called Taste Lab led by Susanne Tobler, the head chef and brain behind Shelf Life (pictured left). They experiment and create dishes like what scientists do in their labs. They do not own a restaurant, but execute their lab results in many ways: catering, food events, supporting kitchens of other restaurants, etc.
And now it is the summer-end. They work a lot on food preservation, to prolong the summer flavors for us to enjoy. While they had fun experimenting on drying, sugaring, curing, smoking, candying, fermenting ingredients, it happened to be that they found a location of an old restaurant in between the new move-in. So, the consequence is something exciting for us lucky people: a pop-up restaurant called Shelf Life.
Shelf Life is an eatery like nowhere else. Not only because it is temporary (it will last for 2 months only), it has a concept of food preservation, of which the menus are created around the preserved ingredients they have. The way to dine there is also different. First, you have to reserve online (though walk-in is possible if you are lucky to come across empty seats), and pay in advance. The number of dishes served will depend on number of people in a group, in a manner they call "The SHELF LIFE Experience" where everyone shares every dish together.
Zuri Girl visited their soon-to-open restaurant where they showcased their concoctions of preserved ingredients combined with seasonal fresh ones, prepared with a magic of science. They were all delicious. On top of everything, it is exciting to taste and see how many ingredients can be transformed into unexpected experience.
Here are examples of what their magic wand brought to us:
– Fresh buffalo mozzarella with dried basil and dried watermelon. How intense, and pleasant watermelon could taste when the water is removed! What a surprise!
– Pork belly with poached pear and kimchi. A contrast of softness and crispiness, and sourness and sweetness.
– Pulled duck confit with pickled chanterelle, apricot compote and duck crispy-skin crumb.
– Sheep cream with chamomile honey and strawberry chips.
Chocolate with candied nasturtium.
And awesome homemade ginger beer! We are really planning to return and try more.
How it works:
For dinner, you will be served "the SHELF LIFE Experience." There are 11 dishes constantly changing each evening, and the number of dishes served depends on the size of guests sharing.
For 1 guest: Choice of 4 from 11 dishes
For 2 guests: choice of 6 from 11 dishes
For 3 guests: choice of 9 out of 11 dishes
From 4 guests: All 11 dishes
Price per person is CHF95 excluding drinks, and must be prepaid at reservation.
For lunch, the menu is yet to be released but it is guaranteed to be exciting and different, and changed daily.
Zuri Girl Tips:
Apart from creative excitements on the plates, what comes in the glasses is also something to look forward to. They claim drinks that are "special with exceptional ingredients." Dante Bar is the name to be responsible for the experience not less impressive than the meal. We are seriously looking forward to try Combucha Fizz and Gingerbeer Magarita.
Opening date & time
Shelf Life will have a shelf life from the 28th September to the 18th November 2017 only. It opens from Tuesday to Saturday. Dinner serves at 18:00 – 00:00 and lunch at 11:30-14:00.

Sanju is Bollywood's most controversial star Sanjay Dutt's journey. It traces his life from his debut film to his drug addiction days, him being labelled as a terrorist to finally getting his name cleared. And yes, they forgot the first daughter, Trishala, and his two other wives.
The film had all the right ingredients - the winning combination of Vidhu Vinod Chopra, Raju Hirani and co-writer Abhijat Joshi, who entertained us with films like '3 Idiots', 'PK' and 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai', a brilliant actor in Ranbir Kapoor, an ensemble cast - but something is still missing.
Many had reservations about the film being sympathetic in portraying Sanjay's life, and it does fall into the trap. In the first five-minute conversation of Sanjay Dutt with his

Paresh Rawal ably portrays the role of his father but seems like the makers might have taken some liberties in portraying this bond honestly. There might have been some friction, heated moments in their relationship which we don't get to see.
While Sanjay repeatedly fails in his life, his father stands by him like a rock but there aren't any stand-out scenes that we took home with us. In fact, a speech in the film that is meant to be a closure for the troubled father-son relationship fails to connect. Ditto with few other dialogues in the film - they are lazy to the point where actors like Manisha Koirala, Vicky Kaushal, Paresh Rawal deliver them without much conviction.
Vicky Kaushal shares most of the screen time with Ranbir Kapoor in the film. We are introduced to a stranger in the States, who goes on to become his best friend. He makes regular appearances in his life, mirroring the

Thumb Sucking: Advice on When and How to Quit the Habit
Children sucking on their thumb (and/or fingers) is a common, normal behavior. Sucking is so naturally comforting that humans suck their fingers and toes as early as the womb. Even apes, chimps, and lemurs have been known to love the thumb![Insert cute-thumb-sucking-baby-monkey-photo here:]
Despite its normality, having a thumb-loving child causes parents concern. The fear, of course, is that their child is never going to stop. The good news is only very rare cases of this common habit will lead to a feature on TLC's"My Strange Addiction."
And the vast majority of kids will stop thumb sucking by kindergarten - on their own!
Double whew.
However, as we know, chronic thumb sucking does have its consequences. Kids putting their (dirty) fingers in their mouths increases the risk of contracting illnesses. The skin on the chosen fingers or thumb can get calloused, dry, or infected. Sucking is socially undesired, and can lead to undeserved attacks on a child's self-esteem. Of additional concern is potential change to the teeth or palate; resulting in problems with speech, mouth functions, or an undesired cosmetic appearance.
So, when should a parent be worried about thumb sucking?
If a child is starting to experience negative consequences of sucking behavior, physically or socially, parents may want to consider beginning an intervention plan. For some children, this could be as early as 3 years old. As a general rule, if a child is still sucking after their permanent teeth are beginning to erupt (age 5-8 years) then it is time to plan a way to help your child stop.
Which leads to the million dollar question... How do you get a kid to stop sucking their thumb?
First, let's discuss what NOT to do:
1. Thumb sucking should never lead to punishment.
All of us - all of us - have our vice. You know... That thing you do that drives everyone else nuts, but you just can't stop? These "things" we do lead to self soothing and tranquility, and are often a coping mechanism for the stresses of life. Although sucking may be one behavior that drives us crazy as parents, it is an active way that our kids can decompress. Punishing them for trying to acquire that desired feeling is unfair, and ineffective.
2. Negative attention is still attention.
So for some kids, giving repeated attention to thumb sucking may actually be incentivizing some kids to continue the behavior. One commenter onFacebook stated this best, by saying,
"I have vivid memories of my own thumb-sucking habit being addressed, and it only made me want to do it more. Don't want to make that mistake with my kids."
3. Despite impressive claims of commercially available thumb sucking products, they rarely work.
Horrible tasting elixirs, plastic guards, and gloves can be perceived by children as punishment for sucking. This leads to anger and frustration, not positive change. Although few parents may find these products successful, I believe most kids can stop sucking without having to use gadgets or gizmos.
Now, some ideas for what TO DO:
1. Take a step back, before moving forward.
When beginning any large behavior modification plan with a child, consider starting with a 4-week "parental attention moratorium." In other words, take a 4-week break from nagging, yelling, and redirecting your child's sucking. This will allow you to approach your plan from a position of relative peace, versus escalating an ongoing war.
2. Determine the when, where, and why.
As with most childhood behaviors, searching for the root cause of the behavior will lead to the elimination solution.
Does she only suck when she is upset or tired? Does she only suck if she is watching TV or reading? What about other things associated with her sucking? Does she only suck while holding a blanket or stuffed animal? Does she only suck in a certain place - the car or her bed?
Research suggests if you can successfully eliminate associated thumb-sucking behavior, the thumb-sucking itself will be eliminated. In other words, remove the stuffed animal and the thumb sucking will stop. Offer an age-appropriate, acceptable alternative in exchange, like a small toy or sugar-free gum. Use the knowledge you have of your own child's sucking behaviors to determine possible alternatives.
3. Recognize the power of preparation and positive reinforcement.
When trying to modify a person's behavior, the best results happen when they want to accomplish the goal. So, try to get your child genuinely interested in quitting, and then recognize their success.
Explain that thumb sucking is a way that they can get sick or hurt their thumb, and you want them to help keep their body heathy.Visit the library toread booksabout thumb sucking. Compare your child to the successful character in the story. Positive conversations about sucking will help your child develop their own desire to quit. Then discuss how you want to help them stop.
Tell your child that you are going to be there to remind them, keep them on track, and reward them for not sucking. Show your child how you have thought about great things they can earn for not sucking (small,non-monetary "gifts" are best!) Remember to incentivize frequently, randomly, and for very small accomplishments to get the program off the ground.
For motivation "on the go", check outthe Marble Jar.
4. Allow for set-backs.
Don't forget to tell your child that it is OK if they really need to suck, but define one acceptable way to do it. For example, allow sucking only in another room. Alternatively, explain that sucking time may take away some of the "points" earned from earlier in the day - no questions asked. These options allow the child to be in full control of the situation, with a positive or negative consequence by their choice.
5. Need more help?
Thumb sucking can be classified as a "orofacial myofunctional disorder." Some children can be helped by visiting a specialist (speech therapist) trained in techniques to help these disorders. Check speech therapy centers in your area for qualified therapists.
For the most determined thumb suckers, a visit to the dentist may be needed. A dentist can determine if insertinga devicein your child's mouth might be beneficial. Fortunately, these are rarely needed.
The bottom line? Thumb sucking is normal, and most children will stop this behavior on their own. In cases where kids need help to stop sucking, choose an elimination plan based on your child's habits and set them up for success!
For more information about thumb sucking, see this fromthe Mayo Clinic.

The Official Brisbane Pride Festival Launch Party will take things to whole new level in 2018, uniting with Brisbane Festival to take over King Street, Bowen Hills for the ultimate celebration of love in the form of a free street-party extravaganza on Saturday, 8th September.
And what better way to celebrate love than a WEDDING? How about a bunch of weddings, taking place simultaneously? Radiating rainbows in the electorate that polled the highest 'Yes' vote in Queensland in last year's marriage equality survey, Qweens on King will see eight LGBTIQ couples tie the knot on stage, sharing their special day with the crème de la crème of Brisbane's best queer performers and fabulous hosts, for the launch of the 29th annual Brisbane Pride Festival.
Brisbane Festival Artistic Director David Berthold said the glittering event and first-time collaboration with Brisbane Pride Festival promised to be one of this year's Festival highlights.
"I remember the day the yes vote was announced – people just wanted to be with their community. Wherever it was, they wanted to be with others," Berthold said.
"Seeing that deep need to not celebrate at home, but in public, and with friends and strangers, was something special, and we hope to create that same sense of magic and community in King Street in September."
"I'm hoping that the eight couples we find will represent a broad spectrum of personal experiences, from those who have been through the Bjelke-Petersen time when homosexual acts were still illegal, to newcomers and the multitude of various cultures within all those letters: L-G-B-T-I-Q-plus."
Brisbane Pride Vice President Michael James said the historic event would be "a gathering of rainbow sophistication and flair".
"We've chosen the music, arranged the flowers, booked the photographer and invited some of Australia's best queer artists as entertainment." James said.
LGBTIQ couples who want to get married, renew vows or have previously tied-the-knot overseas and want to relive the occasion with friends, family and an adoring crowd are encouraged to apply online at www.brisbanefestival.com.au/qweens-on-king-application – applications close midnight, Wednesday 25 July.

Welcome to the Sunday Gathering recap (songs, hymns, liturgy and sermon). This blog gives you an opportunity to reflect on what you heard in the gathering or catch up if you weren't able to be with us.
*The indented sections are responses read aloud by the congregation during the Gathering
EXODUS - You Shall Not Covet
The immeasurable greatness of God's power towards us has been shown to us in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places.
He is far above all rule and authority, power and dominion. He is above every name that is named, not only in this age but in the one to come.
God put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things. He is the head of the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
(Based on Ephesians 1:15-23)
Song: Look What God Has Done
Song: Jesus
We've just sung that Jesus set aside his crown and left his throne to become a servant. He has given us the greatest gift of grace and yet we so often become dissatisfied with him. We crave so many other things, hoping that they will satisfy our needs, yet they fail us time and time again. Take a moment to reflect on that now, in the quiet of your own hearts.
God tells us in his word that though he was rich, Jesus became poor so that by his poverty we might become rich. There is life-giving treasure to be found in Jesus and that's what we get to enjoy by following him.
Song: Made Alive
Tom Thrower preached to us from Exodus 20:17 and Luke 12:13-21, helping us to see what the Bible teaches on coveting. Click here to listen to that sermon.
Every week we want to respond to what God has done for us in Jesus. One of the great ways he has provided for us to remember the truth of the gospel is giving us communion. As we take the bread and wine we remember what Jesus has done for us.
Jesus' death brings us life and this meal reminds us that we are fed by Jesus and forgiven because of Jesus.
We rejoice that You have died, rose again, and are now with the Father advocating for us. Amen.
With our money, time, and talent we give generously, knowing that through Your Son, Jesus, You have generously given to us.
We rejoice that You have given everything and we joyfully give everything back to Your care. Amen.
Song: When I Survey
Song: Man of Sorrows
Heavenly Father, You have told us in your word that you will never leave us nor forsake us, and so we can confidently say:
"The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"
Help us to keep our lives free from the love of money, being content with what we have, and thankful in all circumstances. Amen.
Based on Hebrews 13:5-6
Song: It is Well
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Peace be with you.
And also with you.

Boy, what a day!
Nats had to go in at 7am for a store meeting, lasted an hour. On the way home, a dumptruck deposited a HUGE rock in the middle of the road-and yep, you guessed it-BAM! instant FLAT. It was on a busy highway, no time to swerve and miss it without taking life into one's own hands…so she called, upset-my first thought was OGOD what happened!!!
We hurried up and got over to where she was, arrived 15-20 minutes later-a local police officer had spotted her and had stopped to assist. She said one truck driver saw it happen and stopped to see if she needed help. He even asked if she had a spare, but she didn't know about her donut under the trunk panel and told him , "no?" DOH! So anyway, the officer is there when we arrived, and Nats is shaking like a leaf, nerves shot.
After taking down Nats' information, the officer followed us to gas station 100 yards away, so we could get safely off the highway and not get killed by passing motorists. Then Harry, the gas station owner, saw us and came running out to help Mike remove the flat and put on the donut…what a guy!
Thankfully, Pete's Tires is another 1/8th mile down the road so Mike and Nats followed me as I hobbled her car over to the Tire place. She was needing new tires this spring anyway, so we had them replace both fronts, they said the 2 backs were still in great shape-no sense hitting her for more bucks at this point…
After installing both tires, they test-dragged her car around the shop a couple times and found out one of the struts didn't have a strut mount in place, bumpitybumpitybumpbumpbump when it hit a bump…no biggie, they said they can fix it later for $189. It's not a major part, just an annoyance and Nats said she actually got used to it, chalked it up as an Older Car thing~
Later when we got home, I got on the phone and called the company. I got routed to the person in charge, left a very polite if not slightly urgent message on his Voice Mail stating that I was going to be needing to speak with him regarding a "road incident with a dump truck, a rock and a cop…"and would he please return my call as soon as possible.
Then I had Nats go back and get the tire back from Pete's, and she also got a picture of the rock while she was out. The thing must have weighted 60 lbs, the truck driver who stopped had moved it off to the side of the road so nobody else would hit it. Coincidentally, he was hauling a load of rock identical to the one found in the road. He wasn't the driver of the truck in question, but as we were fixing her tire, we watched a similar truck pass the gas station heading north to the Rock company where they dump their loads for grinding. They have been traveling up and down the highway for days, we'll never know which truck lost it's rocks, but we can only surmise it was from the same company. That huge rock didn't fall from the sky….
The front passenger tire was shredded and the hub cap was broken in two. I called the local Junk yard and they might have 4 Cavalier wheel covers that she can use. We're waiting to hear back.
Oyes, I will be contacting the Rock company again tomorrow. I have a shredded tire and pictures.
Despite it all, Nats still loves her cute little zoom car! It's worth it.

Cabool campus moving inside Missouri Ozarks Community Health clinic
SPRINGFIELD, Mo., July 18, 2017 — Drury University's College of Continuing Professional Studies campus in Cabool is moving to a new location that will better serve students and the community by strengthening partnerships and opening up new learning opportunities.
The Cabool campus will move into the Missouri Ozarks Community Health (MOCH) building at 904 Zimmerman Avenue. The MOCH clinic offers a number of opportunities for Drury students to bolster classroom learning by taking advantage of on-site community partnerships, especially those studying in health-related fields.
CCPS Cabool staff will move into the space in August. Classes will temporarily be held at Cabool High School while new classroom space is built within the MOCH building this year.
"We're really excited about this move because it gives us the chance to deepen our commitment to the Cabool area, and build on what we've done here for the past three decades," says Kizzi Roberts, regional recruiter for CCPS in Cabool. "It's especially exciting for students who are earning dual degrees in nursing and medical assisting from Drury and Cox College. Having their learning environment inside a modern community clinic will give them valuable insights along their academic journey."
Drury and MOCH have a similar partnership in Ava. MOCH is a federally qualified health center serving a four-county area via five clinic locations.
"I'm thrilled to see Drury making this move, and I think it's going to truly benefit both our clinic and the Drury students and staff," says MOCH CEO Tim Shryack. "We think it's a win-win and great step for the whole community."
"Partnering with MOCH in this way will open up opportunities for Drury to expand our allied health offerings in the future, similar to what is available in Ava and other CCPS locations," says Dr. Jana Neiss, dean of the College of Continuing Professional Studies.
Although health-related opportunities will grow with this move, the academic focus for the Cabool campus will not change. Drury will continue to offer nearly 30 associates and bachelor's degree options in seated and online formats. The MOCH building provides amenities that will benefit all Drury students, including a reception area and new office space for advising. Once constructed, the classrooms will be all new as well.
Generous donations that helped Drury establish its current Cabool location at 801 Walnut Avenue in 1990 will be honored as new spaces are built in the coming months.
For more information about the Drury CCPS campus in Cabool, go to https://www.drury.edu/cabool. Classes start August 21. To find out more about registration and class schedules, call Gina Crunkilton at (417) 962-5314 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm pretty happy with Google maps, but if you're seeking a good alternative, Nokia's just made a web app of its mapping service available in-browser for both iOS and Android. It'll even do some things others can't, like let you to save parts of a map for offline usage and give you voice-guided walking navigation.
As a web app it's pretty decent, and behaves similarly to native apps (at least on iOS), just in your browser. The walking voice-navigation is geared up for guiding you around the mean streets of a sprawling urban landscape, so it's not going to do too well if you're in a car. It will spit out driving routes though, and gives you a live traffic view and "public transport view", which shows you things like Tube routes in London.
If Google's privacy policy changes have made you paranoid big G is tracking you too much, take Nokia Maps for a spin, and give Microsoft and the Finns a chance to stalk you too. [Nokia]

Artist's description:
I love the sky and all it encompasses, the colours, the movement, the emotion in the clouds, and the sense of wonder I feel when I lie back and look up. For me, the best light and colour is at dawn or dusk, where extremely clear and serenely emotive colours show us just how elegant and pure nature is. Painting these deep, rich, and passionate hues is always a pleasure, I feel at peace with the canvas and so the work blends and flows.
This piece is acrylic, with metallic reds for a super sheen, stunning.
"Art washes away from the soul, the dust of everyday life." Picasso
This painting is on quality cotton canvas, and stretched with strong wooden bars. Gently unpackage the piece, and it is ready to hang once received. With painted sides and varnish it is ready to go with no need for a frame. There is a signature on the front and on the reverse is the Title, a date and signature. All my works are accompanied with a unique Certificate of Authenticity.
All my works are gently and individually packaged with commercial bubble wrap, and their protection is reinforced with strong cardboard packaging to secure safe passage. Paintings are sent tracked, and a signature is requested upon delivery.

There are lot of things that runs in our mind whenever we don't have a clue to figure out what is really happening with our life. A lot of debts, challenges and all. Worrying won't solve the problem, but to rely on victory. In Mathew 6:25-27 it says;
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life"
Sharing more points to this, Dipo has more to say on How to stop worrying.

Are you ready to go back to the routine? Summer is now over, but that doesn't mean the fun is over too! A new cycle is about to start and it always comes with amazing things 🙂 In my case, I start classes on Monday and I'm very excited because I'll be finally taking classes for my second major in Marketing! Plus, all my friends are coming back and I can't wait to see them again.
I like to plan and organize everything ahead of time to start my new routine with the best energy. One of the things that I like to do the most is a beauty routine! Back when I was 14, I started getting some acne and since that moment I began taking my skincare very seriously. Now, besides of having an everyday regime, I like to prepare my skin for new beginnings. Today, I've partnered up with Neutrogena and Latina Bloggers Connect to show you the step by step process to have your skin ready for your new routine.
Step 1
Let's start by removing all our makeup. I'm using the Neutrogena Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes Pink Grapefruit. I literally love this product because it cleans your skin of impurities in one simple step without leaving a greasy feeling. Another thing I really like about this wipes is that it doesn't irritate my skin!
Step 2
Now let's wash our face! This is a step we can't skip. The Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleaner powerfully treat and help prevent breakouts and blackheads while delivering a refreshing blast of 100% naturally derived grapefruit extract and vitamin C. Plus, it is perfect for the everyday use!
Step 3
Neutrogena also came up with this amazing product; the Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Cleanser. Trust me, it works amazing! This product is clinically proven to rapidly reduce size and redness of stubborn acne and in just one day! The Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne line also includes a daily leave on the mask which treats and control present and future breakouts during the entire day.
Did you like this beauty routine? I've been using it for a while and it has given me great results! Well, hope you have an amazing start of this new cycle filled with positive energy and tons of great things 🙂
Thanks for reading!

E3 2013 was a big deal for more than one reason. For the folks over at Flying Wild Hog (makers of Hard Reset) and Devolver Digital (Hotline Miami, Serious Sam 3: BFE), it was a chance to unveil Shadow Warrior, their remake on the classic snarky first-person shooter.
Shadow Warrior is back, and with some serious upgrades. Originally created by 3D Realms, the remake will be coming out for PC as well as next-gen consoles. Players will take on the role of Lo Wang, the corporate shogun of Zilla Enterprises. Ordered to track down and acquire a legendary sword, Lo is forced into a timeless battle where he learns of the blade's connection to ancient gods and another realm.
Shadow Warrior will combine guns, swords, magic, and more as Wang and his companion, Hoji, must fight to banish the forces of darkness.
To see all of the new screenshots, be sure to check out the gallery below!

Recommended "Use" Statement
Our customers have come up with many great ideas for the Toy Loader and we hope to someday expand the scope of it's uses. However, for now, because of the ever-present liability / insurance reasons, we have to put limits on "recommended" Toy Loader use for only that of which it has been tested. Pulling capacity is partially dependent on strength of attachment material (vehicle material, design, etc.), manner of attachment and ramp angle, i.e., 600 lbs of "free-wheeling" weight at a 30 degree ramp angle. Slightly more "free-wheeling" weight may be possible at lower ramp angles. Safe use of anything more, or different than that, will have to be left to the discretion of the operator.
We know our customers have and will use the Toy Loader for many other tasks and we are always happy to hear how well it works. However as with all tools / devices of this nature, there are inherent dangers and it's ultimately up to the customer to use their best discretion for safe operation. That said, we can't emphasis enough how important it is to always use good common sense and caution at all times.
If for any reason you decide to use the TL for other purposes please keep the following in mind at all times before any attempts to load anything:
- Vehicle is free-wheeling (out of gear)
- Total weight
- Longer ramps with lower ramp angles are always best (30 degrees or less)
- Always keep a watch out for excessive flexing of all components
- Snatch Block Pulley use lessens stress on all components including electrical systems
Warranty does not cover over loading or damage due to failure to properly assemble, install or use the Toy Loader per specified instructions. All consequential and incidental damages are excluded under the warranty. Damage to your vehicle, your cargo or to any other person or property is excluded. Any use of the Toy Loader, other than which it is intended (per instructions), and/or any modification made, thereto, will render warranty null and void.

Remember how the Kingdom Hearts HD Soundtrack was teased in its mastering stage? At Tokyo Game Show 2014, a Square-Enix Music Sampler CD entitled as "Square-Enix Music Sampler CD Vol. 9" revealed that soundtracks of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 HD ReMIX will be released individually in Japan on Wednesday, November 26th.
The sounds of Kingdom Hearts are something long revered since the franchise's inception. Under Yoko Shimomura's direction, most of the soundtracks are more memorable than some moments of the game itself.

Ash vs Evil Dead treated its audience to one of television's most sudden (and violent) endings in the final moments of "Last Call." As shocking as it was, however, the second season's third episode stands out for an entirely different — and far more positive — reason: the onscreen reunion of longtime friends and collaborators Bruce Campbell and Ted Raimi. Ever since the latter's older brother, Sam Raimi, directed both in 1981's The Evil Dead, the pair has become virtually inseparable in front of and behind the camera. Hence why the showrunners' decision to cast Ted as Ash's longtime friend and lone Elk Grove supporter, Chet Kaminski, makes so much sense.
"Chet is a guy who is from Elk Grove, this little town in Michigan he and Ash both grew up in. Ash has very little motivation to do anything, but Chet has even less," Raimi tells us. "He's the sort of pal you would never, ever want to bring home to your parents, but the kind of guy you've always wanted to hang out with after your parents go to sleep."
To date, Raimi and Campbell have co-starred in everything from Sam's Spider-Man films to the hugely popular '90s series Xena: Warrior Princess. These were generally minor, supporting roles played by both or either, but with all the fanfare generated by Ash vs Evil Dead's second season on Starz, Chet will hopefully stick around long enough to egg on Ash for several episodes. Besides, as Raimi puts it, "While many people in Ash's life believe he is responsible for the murder of those kids back in the '70s, Chet's one of the very few people who stands by him. He's is a good guy to have around, even though he's completely useless."
"Useless" may or may not be an apt description of Chet. Per fellow cast member Dana DeLorenzo, who plays Kelly Maxwell, "entertaining" may be a better word as having Campbell and Raimi together on set was more "like 'The Ted and Bruce Show'": "I cannot wait for you guys to see season two just for the two of them, because you can't fake that kind of chemistry. Off set they were doing impressions constantly, like when it was lunch. Sure we work hard, but they knew how to keep us entertained. Especially at poker night's at Bruce's house. Or billiards nights. It was a show within a show."
Nor is this any different from their days on Xena, as confirmed by the warrior princess herself, Lucy Lawless: "It's always been like that from the start. Dinner at one of our houses is just like a Stooges movie the whole time. The conversation is just non-stop banter. I invited this girl who was a stand-in from Xena to come to one of these dinners and she was appalled. She wanted to ask me, 'So Lucy, tell me about your studies…' And they were like, 'Bah!' They completely drowned out any intelligent discussion. Anyway, she didn't ever come back to our dinners."

To celebrate the longest day of the year, I kicked off my Bike Commute Challenge: to see how long I can cycle to work without resorting to other transportation. I've covered my car - it's in Tyvek now - and while I won't be heartbroken if I take the bus, it's going to fun to see how long the streak will be!
|Part 1, Day 1: Success!
It was even a great ride. The Bike Gods must have been smiling upon me! Everyone passed me well on the outside of the 3 feet distance they're legally required to give me, and I even had both sets of doors opened for me when I arrived at work. It might have been to avoid my sweaty tomato-face, but I'm sure it was really just that good ol' Southern hospitality.....Right?!

Police Scale Back Searches for Missing Indiana Student but Continue to Pursue Leads
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
After weeks of unsuccessful searches for missing Indiana University student Lauren Spierer, the Bloomington Police Department announced Tuesday that it will no longer conduct general searches of large areas, instead limiting future searches to those based on new leads.
The shift will allow police to spend more time on investigative work in the case, Police Chief Michael Diekhoff said.
The frequency of searches for Spierer, 20, already appears to have decreased since she first disappeared June 3. At first, police and thousands of volunteers searched a five-mile radius from her last known location. Last Saturday, 615 searchers completed 99 missions to find the girl.
It is anticipated that the search headquarters at the university's McNutt Quad will be closed down by Wednesday evening, however, police told FoxNews.com that tips about Spierer continue to come in to the department.
Jason "Jay" Rosenbaum, the last person to say he saw the missing student alive, passed a polygraph test when questioned about his version of events, his attorney, James Voyles, said. Voyles said Rosenbaum has been cooperative in providing statements to police regarding Spierer's disappearance, Fox 59 reports.
Voyles' comments followed a New York Post report Monday that Rosenbaum hadn't been forthcoming in providing information to police and to the young woman's parents.
Spierer had been spending the night partying with friends when she disappeared.

Above the Salt
by Aaron Galvin
Book: Salted #3
Publisher: Aaron Galvin
Pub Date: August 23, 2017
Genre: Young Adult
Format: eARC
Source: Author
Sydney Gao has a secret – she's a mermaid.
Unfortunately, her mother forbade her from telling anyone and kept Sydney land-locked in the Midwest all her life. After learning Selkie slavers kidnapped her best friend Garrett Weaver, Sydney ran away in hopes of rescuing him. Succeeding, she thought all her dreams of finding others like her to swim with had finally come true.
But Garrett is different now.
No longer the goofy, fun-loving guy she remembered, he's more concerned about his Selkie friends than Sydney. Worse, her mother is also mad at Sydney for putting herself in danger and not thinking about the consequences of her actions.
Sydney can't understand any of it. All she's ever wanted is to finally see and explore the Salt capital city of New Pearlaya and to share her secret with someone.
What Sydney doesn't know is that the Salt is far from the place where dreams come true…and she isn't the only one who's been keeping secrets.
My Review: Sydney is a lovely character who happens to be a mermaid. However, she can't go wild and enjoy that life the way she wants. She's locked on land and cant tell her friends about any of it.
Though things are about to change when she must rescue Garrett. She rescued her friend and now is in search for others like her. To share her secret and al be well. Though Garrett has changed, her mom is mad, and what the heck is Sydney to do? Poo girl just wants to be happy, have her dreams come true and live on. But I guess that's too much to ask for.
There are more secrets that you think, twists and surprises, and well you'll be sucked right in. It's another awesome read by Aaron.

The Counselor
If you were to google the synopsis for The Counselor, you're probably just going to get "A lawyer finds himself in over his head when he gets involved in drug trafficking," (via IMDB). How sad is it that's really the best I could ever come up with? I mean, for such an ensemble, you'd think you'd get something far more gripping. Unfortunately, we're kind of left with a mess. Minor spoilers ahead.
To be honest, The Counselor is a fairly obtuse film – it is so far removed we have to grasp at mere implications in order to understand if we are indeed witnessing some sort of significance. Similarly, most of the time the dialogue comes off just as detached, if not absurd. Then, in some brief, wonderful moments, we get a tiny taste of the bigger picture.
This leads to the assessment that this is a movie that is truly based on the abstract notions of power and manipulation. This being said, I think the most frequent topic of conversation throughout this film was women and sex, interchangeably.
In a time of over-sexualization and slut-shaming, the use of sex in this film is about as intriguing as it is baffling (a car, really?). Sure it can be argued that it reflects upon respective partners (Counselor and Laura being more intimate, and Malkina and Reiner are extravagant and insane), but within the context of the story it's really all about control. Doesn't make it any less sexist. Or forced, for that matter.
In the case of Malkina (Diaz), it's things go from excessive to ridiculous. I get that this is a woman who thrives on extravagance and greed, but I'm not exactly sure why we should care – to prove there's always a bigger fish? The shift in masculinity from hunter to hunted? Both are a possible.
I'm sorry, but why was there even a scene in which she tries to confess to a priest? This scene is pure redundancy – yes, she is hypersexual and understands that women have more motives than men realize. Yes, we get that she has very little moral obligation. We get this from our first conversation with her. Maybe I just need to watch it again – I might have missed something.
Speaking of characterizations, at least our nameless protagonist serves as a realistic expectation of your greed-ridden everyman (so pretty much anybody, but with money). In Cormac McCarthy's other tales, the characters' notions of right and wrong become increasingly blurred, and there is always a shadow of doubt and fear, not to mention the inevitable clash between the agonist – thus greed prevails.
In Counselor's (Fassbender) case, he is an acquisitive man and is warned against playing with the big boys. With much arrogance he ignores this warning, and due to guilt by association, he becomes a target, unknowingly dragging sweet and naive Laura (Cruz) down with him. Ultimately, he is a man of many mistakes and regrets – not to mention a lack of resolution. Though it would be great to see him fight the powers at be, he accepts that this is the unchanging reality. It is neither satisfying nor happy. Yeah, that's a good way to describe the whole shebang.
The Counselor is a work of muddled dialogue and overabundance. We are subjected to a world of avarice and extravagance with very little payoff. Bad people are bad. Tell me something I don't know. Even Anton Chigurh showed an inkling of obligation. Though the cast does their best to try to make something out of… something else, their effort gets lost in the noise.
Final Grade: C-
The Fascinating Metamorphosis of Walter White
I know I haven't been going to the theatre less often lately, but honestly I've been too preoccupied catching up on Netflix. As we all know, Breaking Bad has been rocking the small screen ever since its emergence in 2008. Apart from the gripping, well-written story, I believe that the performances on this show are probably the most impressive displays of acting prowess I have seen in a long, long time. In order to discuss the metamorphosis from dead man to death dealer, I will do my best not to spoil key events of the show that are not already known by means of advertisement or whatnot. Granted, I'm still catching up myself (only getting what I can from Netflix) so I may be a little more in the dark than some. Regardless, I will do my best to dissect the psyche that is Walter Hartwell White.
The Birth of Heisenberg
In the beginning, Walter White is a pathetic little weenie of a man with a bad mustache. Walt is a high school chemistry teacher who also works at a car wash in order to make ends meet for himself, his pregnant wife, Skyler, and their disabled son, Walt, Jr. Just to paint a little picture of his family life, there seems to be a small power struggle between Skyler and the influence of his in-laws, while his own son prefers to be called "Flynn" as opposed to "Junior" – so the discontent with his home-life has been well-established.
After months of being afflicted with a pestering cough, Walt visits a doctor and discovers he has inoperable Stage 3A lung cancer. For some reason, Walt doesn't tell his family about this discovery – not right away at least. I'm not sure if it is mentioned as to why, but I think it's because he wants to regain a sense of control over his own life as well as the future of his family. Obviously, control is a constant issue with Walt.
Not wanting to leave his family in financial ruin, Walt takes it upon himself to find alternative means of income. Considering he's a chemistry genius, cooking meth seems like a desperate but ideal outlet – he figures he can cook the stuff and have someone else handle the business end. No big deal right? Get in, get out – an easy business transaction with a huge payoff. Though he's aware that his brother-in-law, Hank, is a DEA agent, this does not deter him from his easy-money scheme. After contacting former student/drug dealer Jesse Pinkman, their business is soon established, and Walter White is cooking meth so pure, it comes out looking like blue rock candy.
Once Walt's blue meth hits the market, this causes all sorts of trouble with rival distributors, as well as earning attention from cartel. As these tensions rise, Walt builds a new identity to face these local mobs: Heisenberg. Behind this guise, Walt finds within himself the ability to be intimidating and thus earn respect. Now we've created the anti-hero.
The Transformation
Come season two, Walt is caught between being hunted by the cartel while struggling to keep his work a secret from Skyler. Jesse has become less inclined to help Walt due to the jeopardization of his friends/dealers. On top of this drama, his medical bills have become increasingly daunting. He needs to stay in this business, but will need more help in order to protect himself and his family. Walt's choices not only determine the future of Walt and Jesse's partnership, but we also witness the cogs in Walt's brain turn as he determines what is really the "greater good."
What we learn from season three is that fear is not only a great motivator, but also an excellent catalyst. In this season Walt becomes under the employ of Gustavo Fring, a fried chicken tycoon with strong ties to the cartel. Giancarlo Esposito plays this character exquisitely: this is a man with two faces, the exceptional and the terrifying. There is very little we know about Gus' past, but from what we can tell, Gus understands the sacrifice needed to build an empire. It is only when Gus intimidates Walt and Jesse in order to keep them focused, that's when things go downhill; Walt understands this man's potential, truly fearing him while simultaneously envying his control. Ultimately, Gus acts as the catalyst for Walt's full transformation.
It is in season four when the villain emerges from Walt. He believes Gus has driven him to take drastic measures to protect his family. Though it is true that Gus threatened his family, Walt never tries to call his bluff. It is this season that Walt performs actions that are desperate, cruel, and powerful. I'd give examples, but again, I don't want to spoil things. I will say we also see the dynamic between Walt and Jesse shift even further – Jesse is teased with the idea of partner-hood, but Walt manipulates him to the point of near-insanity. One could discuss the growth and potential for our young accomplice, alas this article is all about Walter White.
As we enter season five, everything has been set into overdrive. We know that Walt is building an empire, but in the process has become a total monster. There is no longer the man who simply wants to provide for his family. For all Skyler can tell, he doesn't care about his family, he wants control. The same message can be read by the audience, though some take this badassery to heart without realizing that the Walter White that we grew to empathize with is dead and gone.
Or is he? I don't know – like I said, I haven't seen the newest episodes yet.
Walter White began as an underdog, became an anti-hero, then morphs into a full-on villain. While his actions have been impressive, his intentions have often had bafflingly terrifying implications. It's great to see the little guy win, but to quote JoBlo "even Tony Montana had his limits." Additionally, Skyler's behavior, though having received much flack, is completely justifiable. By all means, I am not saying that I am not a fan of the character – I just find this transformation to be incredible. I can't wait to see what happens to him and Jesse. I want to know what becomes of Walt's empire, and the aftermath that will surely reign upon his family. All I can tell is this is going to be good.
In memory of Gale Boetticher.
Oh Danny Boyle, I love you so. But what were you thinking?
I'll admit the idea seemed like a good idea at a time: an amnesiac art thief gets tossed through his own subconscious web of secrets, lies and memories. That sounds like a movie. You have an acclaimed visionary director behind the wheel – that's a plus. But something somewhere went kind of wrong.
I think it might be the characters. More so, the contrived romance between grumpy baddie Franck (Vincent Cassel) and hypnotherapist Elizabeth Lamb (Rosario Dawson). I can't say I really saw that one coming – but then again, I'm not much for romance, especially when it's perplexedly forced. Come to think of it, Elizabeth is really the only developed character in this whole film. I suppose part of the intrigue of this film is that the characters aren't entirely made to be likeable, given the primal context human nature and materialism associated with perception.
On the topic of human anatomy, I just want to note that there were numerous opportunities for male nudity – none of which were taken. I realize that nekkid Rosario played more into the plot (specifically referencing Goya's nudes), but honestly I found it all grossly unfair. But I digress.
Oddly enough I think I enjoyed this film more in retrospect. Similar to Momento, once everything's gathered together, character motivations make much more sense. Like I said, similar. Trance does a great job at skewing many dynamics of the human psyche, but makes a mess of putting its priorities together while shoving a sad excuse for gender politics in your face. It's a fun ride but a tad anticlimactic, screaming for more development. Truly a film for the ADD generation.
Final Grade: B+
WYSHW Double-Feature: In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths
Like I said last time, I want to give Martin McDonagh some lovin', so here it is, my (very) brief analysis/review of two very underrated dark action comedies, In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths.
In Bruges
In Bruges is an assassin story unlike any other. After a rookie (Colin Farrel) accidentally murders a child in his path, the big man sends him off to recuperate in kitschy Bruges, Belgium – only to have him killed off. We are presented a classic game of cat and mouse but with some weird twists, involving film making, tourists, suicide, and dwarfs.
It's easy to see how a film like this can be seen as a cult hit: it had a limited theatrical release in combination with a layered bait-and-switch plot which doesn't fail to satisfy. Admittedly, the ending is wide open, but never-the-less enjoyable. Simply put, there isn't another film out there like this one, at least, not that I can think of.
Seven Psychopaths
… That is, until Seven Psychopaths came along. Granted, SP does have a bigger budget and greater star power, but it's still inexplicably weird. Most of you may recall the trailer focusing more on the dog-napping plot, but like In Bruges the actual story is much more layered.
The focus is actually on a struggling screen-writer (again, Colin Farrel) trying to put together a story that will blow people away, basing it on lives of those he considers to be "psychopaths." The result is an action-comedy-meta-explosion (metasplosion?). The film itself was fairly successful, though it received mixed reviews. Perhaps some people just thought it was too strange – I say it gives the movie flavor. Seven Psychopaths is a good time all around, but there is still heart – you just have to find it.
Both of these films are wonderful and gritty in their own right, and ultimately incredibly surprising. If you were looking for a typical shoot em' up, I'm afraid you'll have to look elsewhere. Now if you were after entertaining crime thrillers sprinkled with existentialist themes, you've come to the right place – and you're among friends.
Next time on What You Should Have Watched, Bill Murray.
WYSHW: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (okay, let's just go with KKBB) is such an odd little film that really not enough people have seen. I don't know why – it's funny, there's some action and deadgirl nudey bits… maybe it's just too weird.
Alright…where to begin… It's the story of Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey, Jr.), a criminal-turned-actor-on-the-fly who shadows real life private investigator "Gay" Perry van Shrike (pre-whale Val Kilmer) for a supposed role, eventually running into a real-life murder case with plenty of twists and turns – and I can't emphasize "twists" enough. Stuff gets pretty messed up, but I'm sure you've seen weirder.
As you can tell, this story is crazy-layered, just like the film noirs of old. What's great about this film is that they took the film noir motif and modernized it just enough to make this film fun and unique.
Oddly enough, Downey's not the guy who steals the scenes – Kilmer takes his character and runs with it, producing some great one-liners on the way.
I know it's lame of me not to disclose more detail, but KKBB is really a movie that you need to experience. Watch for the dark and cheeky film noir lens, stay for the Downey/Kilmer bromance.
For my next What You Should Have Watched… hmm… I'm feeling saucy. Let's show Martin McDonagh some love.
Killer Joe, Revisited
You may not know of this fellow, but you should. He's Brad Jones, the Cinema Snob, and I tend to value his opinion, even if I don't always agree. He recently released his list of his favorite films of last year, one of which was Killer Joe.
I honestly didn't know much about this film, but once Brad brought it up I was curious (even if it was #8), especially after we received a ton of copies of this movie at work – a movie supposedly rated NC-17 – that's a rarity for Blockbuster. I just finished this film, and I gotta say, it's something.
Matthew McConaughey plays a hired killer contacted by Chris (Emile Hirsch), who teams up with his family to kill his mother to collect her insurance money. There's a snag and all hell breaks loose – you get the picture. And Emile Hirsch gets his face smashed in with a can of pumpkin pie filling.
Killer Joe is probably one of the more demented American films I've seen in a while – something that breeds southern charm with raw grit, giving us a story of murder and family ties most unusual. And I'll agree with Brad here, Joe deserves the NC-17.
What makes this film so remarkable, other than its brutal content, is the performances. I never thought I'd say this, but Matthew McConaughey gives a terrifyingly intense performance. And then there's Thomas Hayden Church – his performance was so oddly real – he served as a great comic relief that wasn't too distracting. He was just a dumb kind of guy – a real good ol' boy.
Overall, I think Killer Joe, or as I like to call it, Redneck Fargo, deserves a higher spot on the list – or is at least worth checking out.
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, things have been crazy-busy at my end, which means very little time for Oscars, let alone hitting up the theatres for that matter. On the upside, I have been a busy little bee plowing away at my thesis, which is a video essay sure to appear later. In the meantime, I thank you for your patience, and I hope to have more stuff up soon.

I first met Jaclyn Fleurant at some point in 2013, at the time I was a senior in high school and she was in her sophomore year of college. I was beginning to become good friends and spending a lot of with Jaclyn's brother, Jon, who was starting to get into photography. Somewhere along the line Jaclyn and I became good friends and started taking pictures together occasionally in our free time for fun until she began a fashion blog, Her Wearabouts.
Flash forward to 2016, Jaclyn and I hadn't seen each other for close to half a year due to school as well as her spending a good part of the winter in Florida. After coming back to New Jersey, Jaclyn asked if we could shoot together as she had just gotten some new clothes from a brand called Wish You Were Northwest. From the name I immediately knew where I wanted to take these pictures. Every now and then I would run into photos of this giant waterfall located somewhere in Upstate New York that looks right out of the Pacific North West.
At 5am my friend Josh picked me up and we headed west to pickup Jaclyn. From there we made a quick stopover in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to pick up our friend Jacob and Emily and from there we were off. Close to five hours later we finally reached the falls. I feared that the state park that encompassed the falls would be packed since it was one of the first really warm days of the year and my photographs would be tainted with tourists in the background. Fortunately, due to some miracle, we ended up being the only ones there that day!
After a quick half mile hike through the woods we reached the falls were we all began snapping away, admiring the beauty all around us. Josh took out his drone and began flying around getting all kinds of cool aerial shots and I took Jaclyn out into the middle of the river on the rocks and began shooting away. As we concluded we walked back onto the bridge and noticed a man meditating on a rock in the middle of the river a bit down stream, which was half cool and half hilarious to see.
We wrapped up our day eating pizza in the nearby town before starting the five hour trek back home.
