Killjoy Goes To Hell (2012) Movie Review
Released : Sept. 18th, 2012
Reviewed : Nov. 3rd, 2012
Genre : Horror
Story (from IMDB) :
Killjoy is back in the fourth installment of the demonic clown series. This time Killjoy is being accused of not being evil, since he let one of his victims(Sandie) get away. Killjoy must rely on his only chance of proving how evil he really is… get Sandie into hell as his witness.
Review :
Here we have the 4th movie in the Killjoy series, not that any of the Killjoy movies are that good or popular. Just another movie to a unpopular series. Surprisingly (not really based on the series track record) this is the best one yet. This is also the only one that ties into another Killjoy movie story wise.
The story picks up after the 3rd one where his victim that got away is locked up in a loony bin since she can't stop laughing and Killjoy is put on trail for not being evil enough for demon standers. That itself is a pretty creative story. Throughout the movie you meet his backup crew from the 3rd movie (Betty Bop, Freakshow, and Punchy). Betty Bop is surprising someone more tolerable this film but her voice just kills it for me. Punchy and Freakshow also have more of a role in this film and lead to some good moments with both of them. The plot never really drags and flows quite nicely throughout.
Trent Haaga again plays the role of Killjoy and truly masters it this movie. He is almost like a offbeat Freddy but add in tons of vulgarity's out of him. What the movie lacks in kills (though the kill count raises quite a lot in the end) the film makes up for with humor. Aqueela Zoll is stunning as the hot court attendant in the movie too.
Overall the film sets it up so that if a Killjoy 5 is done it will be a great comedy bloodbath. Hopefully they make one actually because this one was quite enjoyable and a change of pace from other horror movies. It's worth a watch (but watch Killjoy 3 first).

Texas Athletic Association Reverses Decision on Jewish Team
Robert M. Beren Hebrew Academy's basketball team won its regional championships to advance to a semifinal game in Dallas, scheduled for Friday at 9.m. The Jewish Sabbath begins at sundown on Friday evening and ends at nightfall on Saturday, and the team strictly observes it.
The Houston-based team asked the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, or Tapps, to change the time of the game. The association's executive board voted unanimously against it. Beren Academy was informed on Monday that another team — the one it defeated — would advance in its place.
On Thursday, Beren players sued Tapps, saying the association's refusal. . .

The economic recession led to drastically decreased sales for retailers, but perhaps none were affected as much as stores and designers that catered to men. In recent years, men have largely curbed spending on clothing and accessories, causing sales of men's apparel to drop at double the rate of sales of women's apparel.
Today, as retailers such as Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue have reported increased earnings after the 2011 holiday season, a new trend has emerged among shoppers. Retailers are reporting growing sales in accessories, most notably in men's accessories such as bags, umbrellas, and jewelry. In 2011, sales in men's apparel and accessories surpassed sales for women, growing by 8%.
Inspired by the unprecedented trend, designers are rebranding and redesigning traditional women's accessories to attract male consumers. Designers note that bracelets in particular are popular among men, adding that the subdued pieces, many made out of leather or metal, can add a touch of elegance to a man's look both inside and outside of the workplace.
The shift in men's clothing sales may also point to a brighter economic future in that men are taking careful consideration of how they present themselves. Many see this concern as a clear indication that men who have been affected by job losses are moving back into the workforce and wish to maintain a more polished and professional appearance.

Aaron wants to see steroid list
Hank Aaron wants the list of players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003 to be released.
In a wide-ranging interview Tuesday night with The Associated Press, the Hall of Famer said releasing the list would help Major League Baseball get past the so-called "Steroid Era." The list was supposed to remain anonymous and is now under court seal, but big names have continued to leak out.
"I wish for once and forever that we could come out and say we have 100 and some names, name them all and get it over and let baseball go on," the former home run king said. "I don't know how they keep leaking out. I just wish that they would name them all and get it over with."
Aaron also wanted to make a few other things clear.
No, he has not spoken with commissioner Bud Selig about banned Pete Rose being reinstated in baseball. But he does think it's time Rose, the career hits leader, be reinstated and voted into the Hall of Fame.
Rose agreed to a lifetime ban from baseball in 1989 after an investigation concluded he bet on the Cincinnati Reds to win while he was manager of the team.
"How long does a person have to die?" Aaron said. "I think the thing that bothers me is that he is missing out on a lot of things. He made a mistake. I don't know what else can be done, or what else can be said. I just think at some point he needs to start enjoying being a Hall of Famer."
Aaron spoke before a banquet for a program designed to increase participation and interest in baseball for youths and minorities.
Short hops
The Los Angeles Angels activated Vladimir Guerrero from the disabled list, and the eight-time All-Star was in the lineup against the Chicago White Sox. ... The Baltimore Orioles recalled left-hander Brian Matusz from Double-A Bowie and started him against Detroit. The Orioles optioned righty Kam Mickolio to Triple-A Norfolk. ... The Cubs put infielder Andres Blanco on the 15-day disabled list with a strained calf, opening a roster spot for newly acquired Tom Gorzelanny. ... Third baseman Scott Rolen got a CT scan that came back normal, an indication he could be back in the Cincinnati Reds' lineup within a few days. ... Troy Glaus' bulging disk in his lower back has not responded to treatment, forcing the St. Louis Cardinals to shut down the third baseman's minor league rehab assignment. ... Mets shortstop Jose Reyes has returned to New York to be examined by team doctors because of continuing discomfort in his right leg. ... The San Diego Padres have released right-hander Mark Prior, whose once-promising career has been interrupted by two shoulder surgeries since April 2007. ... Second baseman Luis Castillo left the New York Mets' game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a sprained left ankle after he slipped and fell in the dugout. ... The Texas Rangers, who have cut several staff members from their front office and may be sold, are offering a ticket discount for weekday games in August and September as they try to capture their first AL West title in 10 years. The Rangers said the discount can reach up to 75 percent, depending on the seats. ... New York Yankees right-hander Ian Kennedy, still recovering from an aneurysm this year, threw 25 pitches off a mini-mound and hopes to play in minor league games before the season ends. ... The Detroit Tigers recalled outfielder Wilkin Ramirez from Triple-A Toledo and optioned right-hander Casey Fien to the minors. ... Boston Red Sox left fielder Jason Bay was out of the starting lineup against Tampa Bay because of a mildly strained right hamstring.

MLK dream fights violence, via social media
The huge notebook landed on my desk late last year, exploding with entries for the Martin Luther King Jr. essay and speech contest. In my ninth year as a judge, I knew the drill: Read each one looking for innovation, organization, context and effective writing by our middle-school and high school students.
As I began turning the pages, I suddenly realized these essays had a new feel. In just one year, the young writers have overwhelmingly embraced social media in every facet.
How was Dr. King getting his message out?
Text messages. Facebook and MySpace. Tweeting. YouTube. Webcast concerts. Oprah DVDs. Dr. King would have real-time worldwide impact today. And newspapers and magazines would capture the results for lasting impact.
As I continued reading, however, I began hearing a much deeper change in many of the essays. These kids were delivering the same harsh message:
They have seen the carnage. They are living the violence that Dr. King strove to vanquish. And they're demanding we do something to change their futures.
What happened in 2009 to bring such a sharper edge to their words? Nina Berithova, an 11th-grader at Bayshore High, was one of many to shed light on this:
"Just this past year, I have learned how violence can change a whole community. My high school was affected by the death of two students. Dejuan Williams and Jasmine Thompson were both shot and killed — two months apart. I knew Dejuan. He was a great person who could make anyone smile.. . This event blew an enormous hole in the hearts of the community. Then Jasmine's death happened, and everyone knew these horrid events had to be stopped."
The students wrote frankly about how guns have become commonplace in their world.
"There are more kids with guns these days than adults, and they are mainly used to commit crimes," wrote Ayriell Sanders, an eighth-grader at Lincoln Memorial Middle School.
And they marveled at how adults play blind, deaf and dumb when the solution is obvious.
Tristan Jones, a Braden River sixth-grader, wrote eloquently about how Dr. King would protect the Second Amendment, but still fight to get weapons out of the hands of gangs and murderers. "He would persuade Americans to get rid of their guns and let America's military and national guard keep us safe," Tristan declared.
The young essayists didn't focus as much this year on race — the violence in our community has no ethnic barriers, they pointed out. Instead, they searched for solutions to end all discrimination — which should, noted first-place winners Jordan Sanders, Alisha Erozer and many others, equate to the end of violence.
"Violence has turned into horrid events. Gun shootings, murders, kidnapping, beatings, home invasions... The saddest part about that is most of these things happen with kids in middle and high school."
Kelsey Ritchie penned these words, and she's only a sixth-grader at Braden River Middle School. What will she be witnessing when she reaches high school?
That's where the joyous hope of youth comes to the rescue. Briana Lutzi, another sixth-grader at Haile Middle, wrote one of the spunkier essays, with Dr. King in the throes of today's technology.
Briana's essay opens with a friend getting MLK's text message against racial profiling. Friends on opposite sides of the world then join MLK's cause as Facebook fans. A boy beats his depression over discrimination by Tweeting and finding support. A YouTube video makes anti-discrimination an "internet sensation." And a rap star's lyrics bring them all together, "so many people of so many races."
From our homeboy MLK
He gave us these words to say
Talkin' 'bout equality
Our difference isn't poverty…
MLK made us think
There is not a weakest link
In our united world's chain
We should all be treated the same...
The result, Briana writes, is their dream come true:
"Dr. MLK Jr. watched and sang along with pride in his eyes."
What are you doing to take a stance against violence, and making a change in our community? These young people want to know. They deserve a unified answer. And they want to lead the way.

Call-in Details for the December 8thPublic Webinar for the Upcoming 10-Year Ocean Research Plan
As mentioned in previous announcements, the Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology (SOST) under the National Science Technology Council (NSTC) is hosting its first public webinar for the Upcoming 10-Year Ocean Research Plan (the Plan), tentatively titled, "Ocean Research in the Coming Decade." The Plan will describe the most pressing research questions and most promising areas of opportunity within the ocean science and technology (S&T) enterprise. It will set the stage for actions across Federal agencies and with non-Federal entities to address societal needs and issues of national importance. The overall purpose of the Plan is to provide up-to-date, cohesive, and strategic guidance for the Federal ocean S&T enterprise, informed by and in alignment with the ocean S&T community and science-based information needs of resource managers, policy-makers, educators, and stakeholders. This new Plan will supersede the NSTC's "Charting the Course for Ocean Science in the United States for the Next Decade," which was published in 2007 and updated in 2013.
This public webinar is open to all interested parties who would like to learn more and provide any questions or input to the content and structure of the Plan.
Date: December 8, 2016Time: 11a.m.-12p.m. EST

Let's start with communication. For instance, an emoji is the correct response to most texts. If someone asks you how you're feeling, you should respond with the smiley face with shades...or the pirate ghost...or the annoyed cat...or the guy in a turban. You get it. And "hello" or "hi" is not the proper greeting. "What are those?" or "Guess what came in the mail today?" is much more acceptable. Also, don't throw shade. It's just not nice.
Next, you need to know how to appropriately fit in at a party. Dancing is paramount. Don't bother with the The Dougie or Gangnam Style. You must be able to successfully Whip, Nae-Nae, and do the Stanky Leg. You must also refrain from talking altogether. If you want to gab with your buddy sitting next to you, Snapchat him. For God's sake, do NOT let anyone hear you speak.
As far a fashion is concerned, there aren't a lot of current dos or don'ts. However, you should get a tattoo and/or grow a beard Make sure you get at least 100 selfies to prove to everybody how on fleek you are.
Am I chasing my youth? Maybe. Do I practice all of the latest and greatest trends? Well, I don't have a beard. I just like to be trend-savvy. I do admit, however, when I'm being circled by a bunch of 13 year-olds on the dance floor at a bar mitzvah, I may have gone too far.
So what does the nae-nae have to do with real estate? It's more about being aware of the latest and greatest...especially when it comes to financing. Many Realtors are still talking to their clients about 20% down Conventionals. I, however, can tell you about the cool loans.
The 0 Down Doctor Loan - The physician mortgage is tailored specifically to medical doctors with an M.D., D.O., D.D.S., D.V.M. or D.M.D. degree. It includes benefits such as 100% financing with no mortgage insurance up to $500,000. Loan amounts are available up to $1 million with a low down payment.
The 0 Down FHA IHCDA Next Home Program - A 4% down payment grant is given to home buyers who purchase a home priced within FHA guidelines and have a credit score of 660 or above. Income limits apply. You do not have to be a first-time buyer. You do not have to pay the grant back as long as you live in the home for two years.
The 0 Down Conventional IHCDA Next Home Program - A 3% down payment grant is given to buyers purchasing a home priced at $417,000 or less with a credit score of 680 or higher. Income limits apply. PMI is also reduced. You do not have to be a first-time buyer. You do not have to pay the grant back as long as you live in the home for two years.
Various Portfolio Loans - Many individual banks offer programs which range from 100% financing to Jumbo loans ($417,001 or higher) with substantially reduced down payments and little or no PMI.
So, will being trend-savvy allow more people flexibility when buying a home? You betcha. Will knowing about the latest loan programs save you some cash? Absolutely. Sometimes it is good to get your head out of the sand and stay up on what's current. Contact me to see what great program is out there to best suit your needs. In the meantime, while some of you are still posting back-to-school pics on Facebook, I'll be hitting the Quan on my Vine.
Your Bae,Carrie

Usually safe to walk through, visitors should be aware of any rain, especially
when it may cause floods. During the 2009 through to early 2011, Central
Australia saw significant rainfall. Unique rainfall patterns saw rivers of sand
become torrents of water, created by flash flood coursing through gorges.
Evident of flood waters can often be seen by the debris collected around trees,
sometimes higher than a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Often roads are cut off, with
sand, stones and small boulders strewn across the roads.
If you are visiting during unusual rainfall periods, contact your destination
for information on safety and whether roads and tracks are passable.
Maireana campanulata (Bluebush)
For those wanting to stay overnight there are basic camping facilities at the

Gaze upon (and cringe at) at the new trailer for The Smurfs.
For some reason, Hollywood is on a kick of adapting mediocre cartoons for the big screen, with predictably terrible results (I'm looking at you, Yogi Bear). A few months ago, the teaser trailer for The Smurfs was released to universal groans; now the official trailer is out. Unsurprisingly, it's dreadful.
Here's the official synopsis of the movie:
When the evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) chases the Smurfs out of their village, they're forced through a portal, out of their world and into ours, landing in the middle of New York's Central Park. Just three apples high and stuck in the Big Apple, the Smurfs must find a way to get back to their village before Gargamel tracks them down.
The trailer doesn't really do a good job of explaining this plot, it's just a bunch of gags that are unfurled without much explanation. Here's what I gleaned from the trailer before I'd read the story summary: The Smurfs somehow wind up in New York after some cosmic event happens and turns the moon blue. Or they get shipped from Belgium to Neil Patrick Harris (channeling a toned-down Barney Stinson) and proceed to assault him when he opens up the box they're sitting in. Gargamel randomly shows up and enjoys some fine dining in Manhattan before some sort of magical showdown with the little blue creatures.
The weirdest thing about the trailer is that it's clearly trying to be edgy enough to appeal to teens by including lines that are intended to be raunchy jokes but just come off as cringe-inducing (such as when Gutsy says "Nothing like a cool breeze through my enchanted forest" while an air vent blows up his kilt or Papa Smurf asks "where the smurf are we?").
No release date's been revealed yet, outside of "Summer 2011", but Sony Pictures has been happy to announce that the film will be in 3D.

A unique way to help you get better!
This post kind of seems random, but I couldn't think of anything. Growing up, I remember learning about different traditional treatments and how to give treatment all thanks to my mother. One being guasha. I am professional at giving guasha treatments now.
Have you heard of guasha?
So I do not know how guasha was introduce to my family, but it works. When I was living in China, some places offer this services and it is actually quite common to see people get guasha. When I was not feeling well my mom will do the guasha on me and I will feel better. Although it looks painful, it is not that bad, especially if you use tiger balm or monkey balm.
I recommend trying it out if you have not yet.

The Eurostar service is a high speed train that links the United Kingdom with France and Belgium. The trains were first introduced in the mid nineties, and run on the UK's first high-speed rail line.
Eurostar operates a Frequent Traveller Programme. Customers who use the service regularly receive loyalty points for every journey booked. These points may be exchanged for free journeys on Eurostar, and cardholders may take advantage of Business Lounges, get commission-free currency, reduced check-in times and reduced hotel and car rental rates.
Standard and Standard Premier passengers should arrive at the station no later than 30mins before the train is scheduled to depart. Business Premier passengers can check-in up to 10mins before departure.
The check-in process involves an airport style passport check before passing through security scanners. Passengers then enter a waiting area before boarding the train around 10-15mins before departure.
Standard Class:
The majority of Eurostar trains consist of Standard Class seating, which is perfectly comfortable. When booking tickets, passengers are able to choose which seats they would like to occupy on their journey. Standard Class seats are generally aircraft-style, with two seats next to each other (one aisle seat and one window seat). A small number of table seats (two sets of two, facing each other) are also available in Standard Class carriages.
Tip: When choosing your seats, look towards the middle of the train, as there tend to be some older Leisure Select carriages available for Standard Class passengers. These carriages have bigger seats and more spacious layouts, but are a little bit older than other parts of the train.
Standard Class passengers are able to buy food and drinks from the on-board bar, which is fairly reasonsable value, but you may wish to bring your own refreshments with you to cut costs! Power sockets are available by the side of your seat, and luggage racks are found at the end of the carraiges.
Standard Premier:
Standard Premier carriages offer bigger seats than Standard Class, with sets of two and one in each row, and a few more table seats available.

Business Premier carriages are pretty similar in terms of space and arrangement to Standard Premier. Business passengers are able to take advantage of the Business Premier Lounge at the station (which includes a complimentary bar and refreshments), as well as access to WiFi in the Lounges and complimentary newspapers and magazines on board. Business Premier passengers can also take advantage of a full meal served at their seat.

You can then bring it aboard as a piece of your luggage. Alternatively, on routes between London and Paris and London and Brusseuls, you can reserve a space for your bicycle. This service is charged at £30 per journey, bookable over the phone or in person, and you need to provide a Eurostar ticket reference number when reserving the space.

I have opinions about people. Considering I'm a blogger, that's not exactly suprising. It would be a pretty poor blog if all I wrote was "Well, she seems nice." all the time.
I probably should have begun with "I have an opinion on a couple of people I'd like to share." So I'll start with that.
I have an opinion on a couple of people I'd like to share. They're polar opposites. One male, one female. One Liberal, one Conservative. One in the US and one in the UK. I refer, if you've been clever, to Sarah Palin and Nick Clegg. Both of them have been at their conferences in the last month, both have been trying to stamp their mark on their parties. Both of them are significantly younger than those that have gone before and those they co-work with. In fact, for two people that have so wildly opposing political views, they're suprisingly similar.
But I digress. I'll start with Palin, because I fancy a long rant about something. She is an Alaskan Redneck Biblebashing Creationism-believing Conservative of Monumental Proportions. I couldn't think of a witty acronym. I, do, however, have to admire her for being foolhardy enough to take on the role of Running Mate to McCain. As a Pitbull with Lipstick, and a mother, maybe she'll be brave enough to take on policy that both candidates seem to be ignoring? Like Education or Healthcare? Somehow, I am inclined to doubt it.
The thing is, if you said somebody was a Pitbull with Lipstick in the UK, they'd automatically ask if she had a steel plated handbag, if you get my crude reference to Maggie Thatcher. The Yanks are going to have fun with her.
Anywho, onto Clegg. He's speech was only decent, he still didn't hit home his new tax policy onto the country (I would have mentioned how irresponsible it would be to hike taxes in a time of shrinking purses to put into projects that would not reap immediate benefits) and I think he's making it far to clear that he's really a proxy Vince Cable. Do I care? Not really. Cable did write about forseeing a crunch like this a year before it developed, and has wisely led LibDem financial policy for a very long time.
I have two problems with Clegg, really.
1) He's bringing back memories of Steel with his comment of "I know where the Liberal Democrats are heading. Government."
"Return to your constituencies and prepare for government!" Steel declared in '81. That dream collapsed with an unexpected surge in popularity in Thatcher just before the elections. If I am to put my fortune telling hat on, I forsee the Lib Dems only being in government in a hung parliament situation. Thinking about this, it isn't too unlikely. In 2005 there was a large amount of speculation about the possibility. Blair won that election easily, with the Liberal Democrats winning a good 60 or so seats in total. If Clegg manages his goal - 100 MPs returned this election - and Labour manage a comeback of monumental proportions, I'd be perfectly happy for a Lib-Lab alliance.
As long as Clegg gets a role as Deputy PM and Cable gets the Chancellory. I can but hope.
2) He really needs to learn what to emphasise in a speech. He glossed over the meat of the tax reforms as he knew they'd get picked apart by political analysers, but I would have spoken more about why he decided to make the decision, rather than moving on to praise Cable again...
Then again, I very much doubt the Conservative conference is going to be any more than Cameron flinging insults at Labour and Labour making as many policy announcements as possible to stop Jeremy Paxman leading debates on his chances to be the PM in a week's time.

MOF Japanese Sweets & Coffee @Pavilion KL
MOF Japanese Sweets & Coffee which is originated from Singapore. MOF stands for Ministry of Food. They are famous for their Hokkaido soft serve ice cream and their funky creation. I usually will keep the receipt so I know what I have ate earlier on. So this time I misplaced it. Haih...so sorry. No name and price will be given but I will blog anyway just for my own reference to record down my experience.
|Together with me is Carmen Lim who just came back from USA after so many years there. I hope she still know that our dessert in Malaysia is still as good as the overseas.
|This is their Hokkaido ice cream with mixed fruit + 4 plain mochi.
Creativity: 5/5
Taste: 2/5
Overall: 3/5 - The ice cream itself is quite sweet for me but when you mixed with the brown sugar, it is just overly sweet. Actually I should just dip the Mochi into the brown sugar because the Mochi is tasteless. The red bean is quite sweet too. However, good thing is they have fresh fruit to neutralize their artificial sweetness.
|Hokkaido Ice Cream in shaved ice with Mango.
Creativity: 4/5
Taste: 3/5
Overall: 3/5 - Slightly less sweet compare with the previous one. I somehow not really impressed with the Hokkaido ice cream because it is not really special to me. Indeed the ice cream is smooth but it is just too sweet. Is it original Hokkaido ice cream like that or they changed the recipe to suit our local culture here?
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Food Serving Speed: Moderate
Will I Revisit?: No.
