Naan KadavuL - Give a miss
This is the first Bala movie that I watched in theater. With or without expectations, this movie sucks. I felt like I was watching a movie on the physically handicapped who are exploited and forced into begging. Arya's role in the movie is just a tad more than a guest one. The story appears disjointed, with the story of the suffering handicapped people and Arya's segment connected only by a bare thread of the location.
After witnessing the depressing story of the 'begging industry of India' in 'Slumdog Millionaire', we get to watch it much more elaborately in this movie. I felt that it was definitely overdone, with Bala's famous liking for morbidity going way too far. Beyond a point, their sufferings made me feel sick. The scene involving 'the man with the scary face' could have been handled quite differently. The closing minutes of the movie have some badly edited scenes and the climax appears to be rushed. The only positive aspects of the movie are the performances by Arya and Pooja.
The climatic one-to-one fight between the protagonist and the antagonist appeared to be very amateurish and cinematic to me. The latter knows the fate of the three people who went to attack the former, but still he goes against Arya bare-handed and single-handedly. Pooja's migration from the hill cave to a church and then to the hands of the villain is not explained; especially the last one could have been avoided, saving a lot of pain. The climax was quite undigestible since it reflected the pessimistic mindset of the director.
The technical aspects of the movie are quite good. Music is OK. The long scene in the police station involving look-alikes of MGR, Sivaji and Rajni was quite unnecessary, what with an overdose of such artists in various TV programs, except for a few seconds of an unhappening twist that is to follow. I found one aspect very ironic. Jeyamohan, who is the dialog-writer for this movie, had strongly condemned Sivaji's style of acting in his blog exactly a year ago. In the police station, someone tells the Sivaji-lookalike that he wishes that Sivaji had taught what acting is, to the contemporary actors. Jeyamohan has even removed that attacking post from his blog.
Back to the movie - the only thing that connects this movie with Bala's earlier ones is that he portrays (again) a dark side of the society. Whereas the previous ones had some humanity in them, here it is all dark and violent. True, the guy and his assistant who are in charge of the temple beggars have some soft corner for them. Other than that, it is hard to explain why Arya is shown attacking some people in Varanasi and why he is angry in the movie all the time. And, Arya appears to be too muscular and fleshy for someone who hardly eats any food and is shown surviving only on Ganja.
You might like it if you are a hardcore Bala fan.

That was a very short review. I am never a Bala's fan. when I hated pithamagan itself, I wud never attempt watching this..

I don't think even hardcore Bala fans would like it !

I enjoyed his previous movies but not this one.I don't care if Bala portrayed the real society but that's not an excuse to puke out a plot less movie.

Hey dude...The most childish review I hve ever read. I think u r a popcorn guy, want a movie which makes you feel great n come out fresh..If u r a soft guy, go n watch some play boy movies...U have become sick after seeing some sufferings of beggars huh? U r a weak n thats ur problem man! Just write, Iam not capable of seeing these kinds of movies... Don't tell mistakes in the movie...
I advice u to watch some movies like Shindler's list..City of God..Begging & Beggars..Cannibal Holocaust..These r some of the movies which portrayed the emotions n sufferings of differnt kinds of people..These movies changed the way a movie should be made..Highly criticised n got awards...Make urself strong n once again see the movie 'Naan Kadavul'..If u can't, just see some soft Gautham Menon's, Dr.Vijay's, Dhanush's, Sharukh's n some other fuckin masala movies n enjoy ur life..U won't feel sick...U can write whatever u think in the review..Nobody will criticize u...
Do u know something about Aghoris or their way of living? Hve u atleast understood the core of this movie? Oly if u know sanskrit n little bit hindi, u can understand the dialogue spoken by Arya, just before Interval..The dialogue which comes for seconds explains the secrets of the Creation..Oly mistake bala has made is not including subtitle for sanskrit n hindi dialogues..Go n see d movie with ur friend who knows sanskrit n hindi or wait for official DVD release with english subtitle...Don't review a movie without even understanding the dialogues and movie itself...
u want Arya's segment n hadicapped people be more connected, huh? Want an aghori to dance with them n share their feelings?
Without liking the movie, how u r attracted by the performances of Arya n Pooja? Hey school boy, go n learn 'How to review a movie?'...
Hey looser, be a Man n write some meaningful reviews..

Ramya, I watched all of the first three movies of Bala quite late after their release. My attempt to pay tribute to him by watching first day has ended in huge disappointment, I must say.
Anon, surpringly, some apparently do. As you can see from Gopinath's comment above and some other sporadious bloggers in blogosphere, a few have apparently liked it.
Matrix, can't agree with you more. :)
- Sun Feb 08, 03:51:00 AM 2009
Hi B.Gopinath,
Wow..didn't know this movie was so impactful that it managed to turn you into a wild Aghora.
Soft guy and Play boy movie - what an incredible correlation.
Why not you watch the above mentioned movies once again to realize that those movies were rich in the plot as well. If you don't understand English, I suggest you watch it with someone who can translate to you.
There are many movies where the actors have done splendid job but the story fails to impress.
Anything would appear childish if you have a childish mentality.You decide, who's the actual loser now. It's time for you to visit the shrink.

Gopinath, hey man, cool down, will you? True I wrote a short review last night, since I didnt want to think a lot about the movie any more before bedtime. I ask you to read it in full now.
LOL.. you are true in that I love popcorn while watching movies.. especially with a lot of butter, but since I am on a diet, I didnt have it while watching this movie. Thank 'kadavul' for small favors, since I wouldnt have been able to eat it, thanks to Bala's obsession of filling the screen with people who are unfortunate to be born with abnormal features. I dont know if you have read my earlier reviews, but I am not the type of guy who goes to movie halls to feel great. Simple evidence is, I am a Kamal fan, and I really don't like most of Rajini, Vijay and Simbhu's movies. If you had read my review carefully, I mentioned that I felt sick only 'beyond a point', which was sometime post-interval. I may like soft movies if they are good, but that is not to say that I dont like serious ones.
I have indeed watched Schindler's list and other Holocaust movies like Pianist. Even the movies like Silence of the lambs, Hannibal, Sincity, Oldboy, Perfume and Titus - just to name a few.
FYI, I know quite a bit of Sanskrit and I followed all the Hindi dialogs. I am surprised at the number of assumptions you have made on me without knowing about me. Anyway, what about most of Tamilnadu who can follow neither Sanskrit nor Hindi? Though I didnt mention it in the post, the absence of subtitles (at least here in the US) showed either an arrogance or negligence from Bala. Of course it is possible to have good performance in movie with a crappy story. Aalavandhan, and to some extent, Dasavatharam come to my mind immediately.
Let us agree to disagree, and move ahead, shall we?

Hi Anonymous vm,
I think u haven't seen much movies. Don't know, Why u r replying without even seein the movies I mentioned. If u have seen the movie Cannibal Holocaust, u wouldn't have replied about the matter Plot in the movie.
Of course Schindler's list, city of god n lot of movies are rich in plot. Even, many masala movies made in India are also rich in plot. I mentioned those movies to explain that they too exposed a particular subject rawly.
So u r saying a great movie should be rich in plot. Not oly u, lot of people are complaining like this, "There's no plot". Life, which also doesn't have a plot, can move you, sometimes to tears, and you never see it coming.
Let me remind you some great movies (definitely u won't like these) which have little or no plot. Pulp Fiction, Into the Wild, Cannibal Holocaust, Two lane Blacktop, Forest for the trees, Lost in translation, Wrong turn..... These movies are all about a character and they are Genuine and honest to the subject..
See the movie Cannibal Holocaust n then reply again..Movie released on 1980 which genuinely exposes the barbarity. There's no villian n no plot as u told. But it is considered as the best horror movie of all time and known for its visual effects.
Any movie which is real, genuine and honest to the subject topic (romance, violence, spiritual, lifestyle or anything it could be) will be considered as a great.
Naan Kadvaul exposes the sufferings of beggars genuinely. Such a raw exposure is necessary to make viewers to feel, "How difficult for a human species to survive if it is not capable of" and "It's better to kill a weak than forcing it to live amidst strongs". Some natural
If some editing mistakes, plot are the main concerns for u while seeing a movie, then u r d person to see the movies Shrink, Polar express...lot n lot of movies which doesn't have particular Genre....
Most of the people don't like this movie. Coz just they don't want to know about the 2nd world people (Ex:Raju) and spend 3hrs on it. That Raju guy felt sick after seein a movie! A good movie will always make people to think n feel about it for some hours n may be days.
I don't understand why u called Naan Kadavul, a plotless movie. While replying, just explain why u hve said like that. Simply replying for a comment is the easiest job in the world.

Hello Raju,
Again ur review sucks...No need to prove that u r a popcorn guy with a reply...I know u r..try to learn n judge which movie is a good one and which one is not..
After seeing movies like Pianist, Perfume: The story of murderer, Silence of the Lambs, if u r not able to identify the great movies, then u r poor....
'Pooja's migration from the hill cave to a church and then to the hands of the villain is not explained'
these lines prove in which level u r..
Refer my previous reply to an anonymous...
There s no meaning in replying to a popcorn guy..
FYI: I am not Bala's Fan.
- Mon Feb 09, 01:41:00 AM 2009
The high light of the film is that the story doesn't even start till the climax!
One of the worst film. Rating being 1 out of 5.
- Mon Feb 09, 06:03:00 PM 2009
Hi B.Gopinath,
I've watched the movies mentioned above. Cannibal Holocaust is excusable since it is clear in its genre - Horror! if you have noticed, most cult/ horror movies don't have well etched plot, all needed is gory scenes/ graphics thrown here and there to give us some adrenaline rush.
Not all masala movies are bad and not all art movies are good. Masala - bad, Art - good --This kind of stereotype should be breached.
I watch all kind of movies; I don't limit myself to certain genre. Liking or disliking a movie is subjective to each individual. Even people, who like a specific genre, might dislike movies in that genre which didn't appeal to them.
Be glad that Raju didn't say that he puked while watching this movie. Sick here is not in literal sense. I think you are mistaking dislike for the movie as a whole with physically disabled people.
I did feel touched by their suffering but I can't agree with your claim that movies should make viewers feel that the weak ones should be killed. Optimist viewers might have a different take on this.
Just because the movie showed the suffering of the disabled people, we can't justify it as a good movie. This movie has its flaws as mentioned by Raju.

Disappointing, huh? I had really been keeping my fingers crossed for 'NK'! Inspite of all the negativity, I liked Bala's movies. If I couldn't watch 'slumdog...' for more than 1/2 hr, I don't think I can handle 'NK', I guess!
- Mon Feb 09, 09:46:00 PM 2009
Regarding Arya being too muscular and fleshy for someone who hardly eats any food, you certainly missed the point. It is his mother who says she hasn't seen him eating. The movie has scenes of Arya in the Shmashana, many times. They just don't make it clear if those are before or after a meal! Some scenes (especially at the climax) must have been cut by the censors. They must have objected saying, "Indians eat after pooja, not eat Pooja".

anon @ 5.41 PM
You are assuming a lot. Bala need not show him eating the flesh but a word or two that he's has eaten them would do. A statement that he's eaten the mallu man wouldn't have been as bad as showing that leper guy.
- Tue Feb 10, 05:08:00 AM 2009
i see. i have heard both positive and negative reviews for this movie, haven't seen it yet, waiting out for dvd or some good quality online. i wouldn't call myself a Bala fan, but he is definitely different, that makes me wait for his movies, and ofcourse with his combo illayaraja, i definitely waited on this movie for a while. i know arya has that same expressionless face in all his movies, i was hoping for some quality performance, its bad that i have heard from many people the connectivity between his and the beggar story is very thin, i wonder why Bala went that route, oh well, i will see it for the sake of seeing i guess. But bala really needs to do some genre hopping, he seems to be a staunch follower of balu mahendra, even he did some genre hopping, and gave some different movies. Bala needs to give some pleasant movies for a change rather than morbid reality that people try to ignore. I mean, i hated passion of the christ for this reason, after a point, its just a torture movie.
- Tue Feb 10, 08:29:00 AM 2009
How could Arya show better expressions? He is supposed to be an Aghori, one who has given up all worldly things, especially feelings. Their only goal is to attain salvation, and help other souls attain it too in the meantime.
In an abstract sense, the movie is a lot tamer than the endless number of movies, where a local don keeps the villagers (or a colony) in check, killing and maiming those who oppose him. So many vigilante movies, from Rajini's Sivappu manithan to Vijay's Thirupachi have this theme. It is the fault of the human psyche if we are affected more when the victims are physically or mentally handicapped. It is just that Naan Kadavul showed what happens to a victim who is actually beaten up. Other movies that are actually more gruesome (say, Baasha) just avoid the fact by showing the victim with a small amount of blood in his mouth and a bandage around the head, and of course, the victim recovers in the next scene, just in time for the next fight!

Hi RAJU and Anonymous VM,
VM has mentioned that this movie has flaws as reviewed by Raju....Actually Raju and VM should be an Amateur movie viewers and reviewers.....Some of the childish faults shown by Raju....
Raju's Fault-1: " The story appears disjointed, with the story of the suffering handicapped people and Arya's segment connected only by a bare thread of the location."
Here, hero is an aghori who even doesn't want to have relationship with his mom....has his own sense of reality,as GOD. He wants liberation from the cycle of reincarnation. And he is following the path in the village too.He has chosen a place near by a temple in mountain, where he can get Gaanja. Even he doesn't care about people living there..In the same location handicapped are begging...No other way is there to connect an aghori with these handicapped....He sees handicapped, his mom, police men and all other people equally...He doesn't give any special care to those hadicapped...He just sees them as the other people....If the hero is an ordinary man, then there must be some scenes relating him and the handicapped.. Here it is not needed...See Arya as an aghori not as a regular hero....
Raju's Fault-2: " The scene involving 'the man with the scary face' could have been handled quite differently."
Again, here Hero is an aghori....No way to show an aghori better than the way shown in this movie...He carries the sense of reality the character requires, with ease. Just tell how u 'll handle an aghori quite
Raju's Fault-3: " Pooja's migration from the hill cave to a church and then to the hands of the villain is not explained;"
Even a school boy can understand....If those links are explained, u would have reviewed "movie is so lengthy..Some unwanted scenes could be deleted..."
Raju's Fault-4: "The climax was quite undigestible since it reflected the pessimistic mindset of the director."
As far as an aghori is concerned and as the name of the film suggests, the hero is a guy who goes on with his sense of reality that he is god, and who believes he has the power to take lives. The mindset of an aghori is shown
here. Why do you care about a director whether he is a pessimist or optimist?....It is shown as an aghori gives liberty for a weak(pooja) from the cycle of reincarnation..amazingly subtle subconscious mind of an aghori is
expressed.....This expression of subconscious mind through an action could be seen only in some great movies....use of euthanasia is incredible! There is no reason for saying it as a pessimistic ending...it's spiritual...
You said that optimists might have dealt the situation differently...Optimists would have cried, felt sick and joined her in an orphanage...! U'll surely like it...If u r unable to digest go n puke...And just write "I don't like this movie" and don't advice others "Only hardcore bala fans would like it"
Raju's fault-5: "It is hard to explain why Arya is shown attacking some people in Varanasi and why he is angry in the movie all the time. And, Arya appears to be too muscular and fleshy for someone who hardly eats any food
and is shown surviving only on Ganja."
Just watch the movie with some concentration.....then u'll understand why he attacked...Aghoris eat human flesh
too...This is indirectly shown in the movie (court scene)...Also u will see Arya doin yoga in front of a cremation ground in the village....They 'll eat from the remainings in creamation grounds...If that too shown in this movie, u would have puked in the theater itself...Also the court would have banned the movie for attackin the belives of the people....
So, don't just blindly watch a movie....learn something about aghori and then watch Naan Kadavul...
This movie reviewer Raju might say
"Only Spielberg's Hardcore fans will like Schindler's list"
if he doesn't have idea about holocaust in II-World War.

Hi Gopinath,
#2 : You've stated that I'm an amateur viewer and reviewer. What do you call yourself who got this wrong ---" The scene involving 'the man with the scary face' could have been handled quite differently." --- you don't even understand which guy Raju was referring to. So, how abt you reading the post with some concentration and not blindly.
#3: You give us an explanation and we will decide if it would have made that scene lengthy or not.
#5 : You give an explanation of why he attacked them. There wasn't any subtlety in that court scene. For someone who has felt Perfume a good movie ( in the end the protagonist would be eaten by other humans), this movie wouldn't have made the person puke. There need not necessarily be a scene of him ripping off intestines of the guys and consuming them, am not expecting overt scenes.
# 1 & 4 : We do know the facts abt Aghoris. But what's the point of the movie if it leaves us assuming without a slight hint "oh this is what wud/cud have happened". I'm not asking for petty details, but there should be explanations for certain scenes.
You have lots of non credential justification of why some scenes were not shown. This movie is definitely pessimistically spiritual. The ending concerns us coz we paid for it.
Be glad that he said at least some section would like this movie :)
In your next review..mention this too " only X's hardcore fans will like Y, and will give non-credential justification for the movie "
Good that you've removed your picture. Some creatures might even go to the extend of performing voo-doo on anti-bala :D.

Again, i don't want to justify the points 2,3,4 & 5 to an amateur.....waste of time!

Hi Gopinath,
"Yeah..I do accept...I wrongly noted d point-1." --> BOO!
"You hve been replying, "I seen the movies mentioned...I know about aghoris..." But there are no signs that u hve done so things" --> things ?? what things?? doing ganja inhalers?
"Again, i don't want to justify the points 2,3,4 & 5 to an amateur.....waste of time! " --> admit that you are not capable of explaining. Have you heard of Sour Grape?
"Even if i do n waste my time in this blog, some meaningless replies will be the answer from an amteur viewer....." --> Psychiatrists often become one among their patients to cure them.
"Coz of people like VM(Raju), directors doesn't want to give something new.." --> No, we are not threatening Bala that we will bomb his house.
"Eat popcorn.....Live long...world needs people like u..!" --> are you a fake Babaji? your blessings sound so.

Sriram, cool... edho ennale mudinja nalladhu.. ;)
Gopinath, that popcorn stuff was a tongue-on-cheek remark.. Sad that you took it with the face value.
Your point about me being poor despite watching some great movies: It is ironic, isnt it? A kinathu-thavaLai, who watches only tamil movies might appreciate NK for being 'different' and 'surreal' but I can certainly claim that I am more wiser after watching movies made in different parts of the world.
Now, if you want to talk about Pooja's migration from and to different places, how on earth can you justify it? Firstly, on the hill, she is vulnerable; Murugan leaves her at the church, where she is definitely safe. Who brings her back to the asylum? Does Bala suggest that the nuns were also involved in the scam? I can list of numerous other possibilities (like the police raiding the church and kidnapping her), but pl. try to throw some light on what happened, since that dictates her fate.
If you check in my earlier post about a kavithai, you can see from the discussion that me and Mary had that I was well aware of the presence of aghoras before the release of the movie. You can also see the discussion in Balaji's posts (check my blogrolled friends' list) during the week leading to the release.
And, if you think that me and VM are the same, you are wrong, buddy.. If you check my posts written several months ago, you can still find VM in the comments section.
I haven't touched on several aspects of the movie.. but, I certainly felt that showing Arya's continuous ganja-smoking could have been avoided. Yeah I know that aghoras smoke pot, but is it necessary to show it in almost every place in the movie? Even for a normal smoking scene shown on TV, one can nowadays see the warning.. but, for this dope-smoke, NONE!

I am hearing the cliched word so often nowadays.. 'Rajni movie is an experience'; 'Kamal movie is an experience'; 'Mani Ratnam movie is an experience'... Yeah right... every movie watching is a unique experience in its own right, no? My concern is what kind of experience it is.

well, Its an excellent movie,I really thank to Bala for giving this kind of movie,that no one gave before in tamil. And It should come under "documentary movie"
just most of us don't like these kind of movie,because most of us are well trained by movies like "love" and "violent heroism" based movies.
Those who searched in deep about "meaning of life" will definitely like this movie. Others will like it later when the time raise.
Everyone is not same ;)

Hello popcorn guy, FYI: Bala wins best director national award for the movie 'Naan Kadavul'. Jury for 2009 consisted of 13 members, including Rahul Dholakia and is headed by Buddhadeb Dasgupta.
So just give reviews for the movies like Kung Fu Panda, UP or any other disney productions n plz dont try for anything more than that!

Hello Gopinath aka Bala footlicker, FYI: Saif Ali Khan, Anil Kapoor and Raveena Tandon are some previous national award winners (especially Saif, how on holy earth?!?). So there is nothing so holy about the awards anymore. They have to be viewed with a filter. I dont care who were in the panel for the award. I didnt like it, and thats it. And I didnt say that I didnt like his direction blindly. I have given my reasons in the post as well as in the comments. So, I dont think he deserved the best director award. PERIOD.

As of 5/12/11 Camp Funds are up to $1955!
Dear Friends and Family,
Thanks so much for supporting DinoMights my race and efforts to raise camp scholarships! The race was on Saturday and I did indeed have enough donations to wear a full set of hockey equipment. It was cold and a bit rainy, which actually worked in my advantage since the equipment didn't make me hot until mile 5. The hardest thing was actually the shin guards. The breezers were quite comfortable. DinoMights got a lot of good attention on the race course as I explained exactly what I was doing in hockey gear at a road race.
My fundraising effort had 10 donors for a total of $925. I had a partner in this effort that raced in a snowsuit (He was very sweaty by the end). Together we raised $1,605, which can fully scholarship 5+ students to summer camp!
Our fundraiser was definitely fun, but most importantly it may actually change the lives of some urban young people that will have chances to canoe the Boundary Waters, learn about food and nutrition, go to a hockey clinic, ride a horse, swim in a lake, and hear about the great love of Jesus at DinoMights summer camping activities 2011!
Attached is a picture to prove we really did it (notice our race numbers, proving that we aren't just dressed up!). Again thanks so much. Please stay in touch. If you haven't had a chance, but still want to join our effort visit http://www.razoo.com/team/dinomights-camp.

I am the Commissioner for North America of the International Modern Arnis Federation of the Philippines (IMAFP), the host of Tipunan seminars and events, a corporate financial officer, an amateur historian, and freelance martial arts writer. I am a Contributing Editor as well as a Certified Instructor in America-in-Defense" for WorldBlackBelt. I currently live, write and operate Filipino Fighting Arts USA in southern California, USA.
But you know what? The whole experience forced me to actually look — to take in every moment without the distancing effect of a screen in-between. And I noticed that when people asked me about my trip afterward — a trip that included epic stops in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for encounters with unconcerned gorillas, a nighttime safari ride through Kidepo Valley where a male lion regarded us from 15 feet away — that single day was the one I recounted with the most detail.

Preparatory Stage G: Construct a flow diagram
A process flow diagram shows all the steps involved in the process outlined in the Scope of the study (Preparatory Stage C).
How is this stage achieved?
The HACCP team or person leading the development of the HACCP study should construct a flow diagram. Whatever format chosen to do this, all steps in the process outlined in the Scope of the study should be included.
You may wish to use a schematic layout of the factory to help you but knowledge of what actually occurs is essential.
List each step in the process/module typically from receiving the raw materials intake to at least despatch or to point of final consumption. Think about:
- Preparation
- Packing
- Storage
- Distribution
You could also consider the following:
- Raw material addition (including water)
- Services (air, water, steam)
- Any temporary product storage or hold periods (particularly during peak production times)
- Recycle / rework loops
- Process delays
Draw a rough paper sketch of the product flow. Consider the way in which the process is managed and what could realistically occur i.e. optional and or intermittent activities.
The inclusion of relevant technical data will depend on the complexity of the operation. This data is useful at the Critical Control Points that you will identify later. Technical data could include:-
Time for process or process element (e.g. fry for 2 minutes at 1900C or cool to <50C in 4 hours)
Temperature at different parts of the process (e.g. fry at 1900C for 2 minutes or cool to <50C in four hours)
Line speed
Floor plan, equipment and services layout
Segregation of low/high risk operations
Personnel routes
Flow conditions for liquids and solids (psi=pounds per square inch or temperature in 0C)
Waste flows
Movement routes for raw materials/ingredients
A piece of equipment may have several functions (e.g. a bottle filling machine including rinsing, volumetric/gravity/vacuum/hot fill and capping functions). All functions should either be included in the description at the process step OR each function entered as a different process step.

Look—up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's—the last person in the world you would have suspected of being a super hero.
Just who is this amazing being? Who lies behind this hero's mysterious secret identity? You can answer that question by looking in the mirror, says Emily V. Gordon, author of Super You: Release Your Inner Super Hero (Seal Press; September 29, 2015).
In the book, Gordon, a writer, producer, and former couples and family therapist (but no relation to Commissioner James Gordon), shows readers how to reach their full heroic potential. And no, that doesn't mean that we'll be foiling bank robberies or fighting off hordes of invading aliens. It means that readers will learn how to embrace their origins, flaws, and mistakes and strive every day to stand up for what they believe in. The book examines comic book tropes to help readers find their own "superpowers," unique abilities, special tools, and personal kryptonite, thereby transforming into the most kick-ass versions of themselves.
"My own personal Bat Signal clicked on when I was in college," Gordon writes. ("The Bat Signal, by the way, is how residents of Gotham call Batman," she explains. "The Bat Signal tells Batman he's needed, and serves to remind him to be…Batman. It also tells ne'er-do-wells they'd better run.")
"I was in between identity crises, overweight, unsure of how to deal with any of my emotions and generally unhappy with myself in a myriad of ways," she writes. One night, she found herself unable to overcome her reluctance to dance at a nightclub, even though dancing was something she loved.
"I started thinking: Am I living the life I want to live . . . is this how I pictured my life when I was a little kid yearning for the awesomeness of being an adult? And if not, why not? Am I even allowed to live the life I want to live? Whose permission would I need to live it?
"That tiny question," she writes, "clicked on a little light, far away and hard to see, that gave me something to squint at, off in the distance, and move toward. In short, it gave me a mission. My mission was to become a girl who had the confidence to dance in public. If I were Bruce Wayne, she'd be my Batman. She'd be the version of me not so weighed down by my own 'stuff.' She'd be my superhero, but only to me. I started slowly creeping toward that tiny mission as if were my own personal Bat Signal."
Gordon writes that when we each become our own personal superhero, we find a way to unlock our potential while dealing with our personal shortcomings. "Because that's what superheroes have: a specific set of skills, a specific identity, clearly identified weaknesses that they've learned to deal with, and the choice, every single day, to go out and fight crime," she writes. "Even a cursory look at a few popular super heroes show how neatly they break down into these basic categories."
In the book, Gordon writes about identities and who we chose to be, the missions we chose to accept in our lives, the tools each of us carries, our own unique super powers and weaknesses, the "armor" we may be hiding behind and the origin stories we construct. "Once we're done with all that," she writes, "it'll be time for you to spin off into the world as a bold, badass super hero who continues to work on herself while being a badass."
And Gordon says that these are the super-heroic concepts we can carry with us throughout the entire run of our amazing, pulse-pounding, four-color story. "I hope that you accept the person you are, with her strengths and weaknesses, and that you learn not to fret about the qualities you don't have," she writes. "I hope you continue to stretch and grow and look towards your Bat Signal until you've reached it—and then I hope you set yourself a new Bat Signal. I hope you stay occupied with yourself, in the loveliest of ways, until you are old and gray and still kicking ass."

Junmaji is a special boy here as he's directly descended from two of our favorite imports, he was only used once in the 2017 breeding season so we are looking forward to what else we get with him in 2018.

Why are they sought after?
The Asian Leopard Cats among many other wild cat species have a 'white tummy'. This trait adds to the wild beauty of the Bengal breed.
Quality breeders of Bengals strive to produce cats that reflect wild colour and pattern traits. The Bengal breed should have lighter colored tummies (the lighter the better) in comparison with the background colour.
Bengals are also required to have spotted tummies. Dedicated breeders are striving to duplicate the white belly, inside of legs, throat, and neck of the wild Asian Leopard Cat, while, at the same time, keep the beautiful and vibrant body color of the Bengal.
The success of producing whited tummies is still rare. When breeders are successful in producing this in their cats and kittens it is considered highly prized.
The result of having the spotted whited tummy gives the Bengal breed a very unique wild look closely reflecting their wild ancestors the Asian Leopard Cat.

The Deceivin' Stephen-led Conservatives sure do try to fool a lot of people with their double-speak on issues. Today's recall of a HOC Committee to try to push human rights laws for First Nations is the latest example. First, the background:
The Tories want to extend human rights law to First Nations, but native leaders say they weren't properly consulted and don't have the cash to comply.
And now the Deceivin' part – first this was obviously a PR stunt, because this recall of the Committee wasn't going to amount to much right now anyhow.
Conservatives accused their rival MPs of delaying human rights for vulnerable native people. Opposition MPs assailed the government for staging what they called a calculated political stunt. Liberal, NDP and Bloc MPs stressed that even if they agreed to review the bill � which they refused � it could not go back to the House of Commons for third reading until business resumes in the fall.
Secondly, this appears to be nothing but false concern over the human rights issue, when they've just decided to press an appeal against a court decision that grants long-overdue rights to First Nations females:

In May 2017, fifty-one Apple laptops were donated to the Hamilton High School Social Services Department for use by students in need. These laptops needed refurbishing and updated software. Rajani Rastogi, Hamilton High School Social Services worker, approached the Sun Lakes Rotary Club seeking funds to update the laptops. Revive IT, located in Mesa, agreed to refurbish and provide the updates, installing Windows 7 and Office HB 2010 for $2,000! The SLRC Board of Directors approved financing...
Also, The Sun Lakes Rotary Foundation Committee was approached regarding a "storage" facility for the social services personnel located at Hamilton. The TRF Chairman discussed a possible District Grant for Rotary year 2017/18 with the SLRC Board of Directors. It was estimated that this project could be completed for approximately $5,000.
Rastogi contacted Classy Closets for an estimate. One of SLRC TRF committee members had purchased two Classy Closets certificates and wished to donate them to the project. Classy Closets submitted a bid which was approved by the Board of Directors. The TRF Chairman submitted a District Grant Request to Rotary District 5495 for the Rotary Year 2017-18. The Grant approval was received by District 5495 Nancy Van Pelt on September 3, 2017.
The two rooms were dedicated on December 14, 2017. Attending were Sun Lakes Rotary Members Terrie Sanders, Gary Whiting, and John McKoy. Chandler Unified School District Assistant Superintendent Dr. Craig Gilbert, Hamilton High School Asst. Principal Chris Farabee, Rajani Rastogi - Social Services, and Lisa St. Peter.

Too busy to care about too much except what is going on in the right here and right now.
Too busy to only feel tiredness and weakness.
Too busy, sadly, to sometimes go the extra mile for the ones I love.
Too busy and feeling guilty and burdened.
My love ones are depending on me but feeling like I am getting very little back in return.

Supergirl is still pretty good. To be honest I like Being Super a whole lot more. But this is good. And the whole invasion story is (mostly) wrapping up and we can kind of get on with the series. Though not perfect, this has been a pretty decent start to this new series.
The issue felt like it was trying to juggle too many characters at once, but at least the showdown between Kara and her dad ("dad"?) was well done. I do like the artwork. Though it has a sort of angular look to it that I don't always love. But for the most part everything looks good and is expressive and the colors are nice.

The lean gray shape trotted on silent paws through the vegetation, her red-striped snout low to the loamy, moist soil and her tail low behind her. She paused to inhale the marks set by others: the proud scent of Vesper, the less dominant but dutiful odor of Cartier, and the grace-notes of other coyotes who'd passed this way to make it clear to all where Inferni's land claim stretched. She noted, too, the downturned arches of skulls, the pensive leer of their sockets, and the splashes of paint and bird droppings both. Here and there, she found an acrid scent-marker angrier than the rest, and some of these, too, belonged to her mother.
It was a constant reminder of their tensions with Cour des Miracles, and the very real possibility of war in the future. She'd heard from Covenant (who'd heard from Maddox, who'd heard from Conrad) that the dogs' King had come to their borders seeking some sort of justice -- but he'd apparently been sent away without what he wanted. Vicira wondered if this was because of the yellow wolfdog.
Vicira paused, head lifted on an elegant neck, her ears twitched back in irritation. Her dark shoulders bristled, a moment, but she loped onward again. The mongrel would be a damn fool to threaten them again on their territory. Marlowe would see to his death.
But the coywolf did her duty, scouting the borders, listening to the chatter of the ravens (undiscernable from the cheerier birdsong around her), and took solace in the fact that no Courtier would get by her.

An exact penalty function method for nonlinear mixed discrete programming problems
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
In this paper, we consider a general class of nonlinear mixed discrete programming problems. By introducing continuous variables to replace the discrete variables, the problem is first transformed into an equivalent nonlinear continuous optimization problem subject to original constraints and additional linear and quadratic constraints. Then, an exact penalty function is employed to construct a sequence of unconstrained optimization problems, each of which can be solved effectively by unconstrained optimization techniques, such as conjugate gradient or quasi-Newton methods. It is shown that any local optimal solution of the unconstrained optimization problem is a local optimal solution of the transformed nonlinear constrained continuous optimization problem when the penalty parameter is sufficiently large. Numerical experiments are carried out to test the efficiency of the proposed method.

"Straight Lives Matter" is trying to get a vote on gay marriage to be NO in Australia. They are doing nothing to stop the forced injections of medical/chemical concoctions that are mandatory there for all of Hitler's army of vaccine soldiers that are hell bent on dominating cells. They are all about stopping the injustice to the straight community of giving those same things to the curved community.
Their "name" SLM plays off of "Black Lives Matter" which came about due to horror and frustration when black men were murdered by cops. I say murder because any killing that is premeditated is murder. .
Similar to the gay curved community of pissed off Zealotous Acronymizers, this group is making no sense. The "straights" have not been brutalized nor suffered many injustices over generations like the Negro, Colored, not-caucasion, and curved communities have/has.
This is the stupidest display of protest, next to the demand that government provide drugs that create cell holocaust as a way to kill a non-existent threat which the formerly referred to as "gay community" called for in the 1980's and 90's, during the dark curved ages.
In Australia this will be only a "postal survey" to see where their heads are at on curved marriage.
I know where their arms are at, under the injection. They mandate vaccination for everyone thus there are no diseases in that country. No one there ever dies of disease.
There is no Australian flu. There's bird flu and China flu which originated from a forest in Influenza.
Do birds ever fly north from there? Bird flu still exists of course once they vaccinate all birds that flu will be gone like how the flu has disappeared because people get vaccinated for "this year's flu" shots which are not even accurate. They take a shot at what "this year's strain" might be a year prior.
They need to vaccinate for VD (Vaccine Delusions).

In the latest TV appearance Edward Snowden advised web users to "get rid" of Dropbox and social networks such as Facebook and Google, too.
Such services only insist on encrypting user data during transfer and when being stored on the servers. Other services he recommends instead, such as SpiderOak(Please check our previous posts where we already posted an article for SpiderOak in Shanomag.com earlier this month), encrypt information while it's on your computer as well.
"But ultimately we have to remember that political reform in the United States is not going to solve the problem globally. Governments [everywhere] are going to have their own national laws. And these can be terrible governments… so, because of that, you have to use secure communications… the real key is that companies willing to collaborate with the government and compromise their products and services do not deserve to be trusted with your data. Because if they do it for one government, they'll do it for another government," Snowden said.
He proposes that people can use other services that allow for encrypted conversations and messages to be sent, file-shares:
1. RedPhone. – RedPhone is an application that enables encrypted voice communication between RedPhone users. RedPhone integrates with the system dialer to provide a frictionless call experience, but uses ZRTP to setup an encrypted VoIP channel for the actual call. RedPhone was designed specifically for mobile devices, using audio codecs and buffer algorithms tuned to the characteristics of mobile networks, and using push notifications to maximally preserve your device's battery life while still remaining responsive.
2. Silent Circle. – Whether you're texting, calling, or managing your contacts, your Silent Circle membership gives you the tools to be private when it's needed. Service is with monthly fee.
PC and Android
3. Again but not less important SpiderOak cloud.

In late April of 1992, four police officers were acquitted of beating a black man named Rodney King. (For those of you who do not remember the original incident, Google "Can't we all just get along?"). Riots followed the verdict, and I watched the footage in disbelief. A random white man was pulled from his vehicle, held to the ground, and beaten senseless. Looting, fires, beatings, and death reigned.
I was 23 and in my first year teaching English and newspaper journalism at a 97% black urban high school. My students and I had discussed the trial, had healthy debates, and written about it. The day following the start of the riots, my one white student, a freshman boy, was not at school. Dentist appointment my foot.
I don't remember a lot about that day except the one empty seat. What I'm thinking of now, over 21 years later, is Why didn't something this dramatic happen over the Trayvon Martin case?
BACK INTO TEACHER MODE: There is so much to be done!!
- Comparison/contrast essay on reactions to the two cases (Lots of background knowledge required; students would need to do the legwork outside of class.)
- Re-writing closing arguments
- Using the trials to teach the importance of evidence
- Research paper on the trial, riots, black/police conflicts, etc.
- Pro/Con discussion about the riots
- Pull in Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law somehow

The benefit of low expectations is that sometimes you are pleasantly surprised, and there was every reason to have low expectations for Guy Ritchie's King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. The much-delayed, much-rewritten, no-buzz-generating film had the whiff of "failed franchise starter' all over it, and with a massive six-movie series in the planning that is quite the failure. It just felt like this year's The Legend of Tarzan, y'know?
If there's one thing Ritchie knows how to do quite well, it's giving a gloss to old properties just as he did for two highly successful Sherlock Holmes movies, not so much for The Man from UNCLE, athough the latter showed the director trying to be reserved for the first time in ages. King Arthur is essentially Snatch or RockNRolla with a Camelot chaser. It's Cockney accents and soccer hooligan slang mixed with swords and sorcery. It's Charlie Hunnam, whose Arthur resembles a combination of his Green Street Hooligans character and Jax Teller from Sons of Anarchy. In short, this Arthurian legend has got NOTHING to do with anything you know. But if you know Ritchie and his signature speed-ramping, hard-knuckle style, then you definitely know this movie.
Beginning with an incredible battle sequence that's like Game of Thrones meets Warcraft, the fabled stronghold of Camelot is overrun by the giant elephant-riding forces of the evil wizard, Mordred. The towers fall, bridges crumble, soldiers die, but when King Uthur Pendragon (Eric Bana, ever the sacrificing hero) heads into battle, his doubting brother Vortigern (Jude Law) told to stay back, the tide of battle turns in Camelot's favor. Soon after the victory, Uthur and his wife would be murdered by a demonic warrior, but not before sending their young son Arthur upstream to safety.
The Guy Ritchiest of Guy Ritchie scenes happens next as we get a speed-ramped origin tale showing Arthur's hard knock life; getting beat up by bullies, thieving, fighting for every scrap of food, then protecting the prostitutes who raised him in a brothel. Imagine all of this, including the prologue, set to a booming rock soundtrack and you've got this movie in a nutshell. You've got Guy Ritchie in a nutshell. If Arthur's montage had been dropped smack in the middle of Snatch you might never have been able to tell. There are unreliable storytellers, gangs, rogues, sacks of gold... the only thing missing was a Vinnie Jones or Jason Statham appearance, although we do get David Beckham; see if you can spot him.
Arthur stumbles into trouble by picking a fight, which isn't shocking. He's a classic Ritchie character; a bar brawler with a heart of gold, except for bullies. This puts him on the path to pulling the sword Excalibur from the magical stone, and since the only one who can do it is Uthur's direct heir, this puts a target on Arthur's back. Despite not wanting to be a hero, he joins up with a rebellious group led by the mysterious mage, Guinevere (Astrid Berges-Frisbey) who can warg into animals; Uthur's loyal warrior-knight Sir Bedivere (Djimon Hounsou), Goosefat Bill Watson (Aiden Gillen), and other lowlifes to restore the kingdom by defeating Vortigern, who is powered by dark forces that require a heavy toll.
The smartest move Ritchie and co-writers Joby Harold (who came up with this idea years ago) and Lionel Wigram was to ditch any sense of realism. Antoine Fuqua tried that a decade ago with his King Arthur movie and it was, to put it bluntly, damned boring. Ritchie's version seems to be inspired by video games as much as anything, not just the aforementioned Warcraft but role playing games. When Arthur channels the full power of Excalibur, he undergoes a "limit break" (word to PDC writer Julian Lytle) or level up that slows down the action while he tears across the battlefield. It's a sweet-looking visual and a twist on the "Bullet Time" that's been played out since 1999. The final battle is messy swirl of CGI that, if it were in a video game, you'd grow tired of and furiously press the button to skip after a minute or so. It's not Ritchie's strength, what little emotional stakes fly away like sparks off two clanging broadswords.
A severe lack of nobility is the trade-off to Ritchie turning Arthurian legend into a pseudo-prequel to Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. Arthur has to grow into his role as a champion of the people, but even when he accepts his fate, that's really all it is: acceptance. He still comes across as more of a vengeful brute than a true King. Maybe that's something to be explored in one of the many sequels if they ever come to be.
If they do, Hunnam is the right guy to be at the center of them. Between this and The Lost City of Z he's having the best year of his career, and is really coming into his own. He holds up well against Law, who I think was made to play sneering villains, even ones who inexplicably seem to be wearing Armani suits while everyone else is in rags. This is the Dark Ages or something, right? Ah, who cares? Put them all in Armani. In Ritchie's outlandish and wondrous King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, something so absurd might actually work. If that bothers you, then this movie wasn't for you, anyway.
Rating: 3 out of 5

The Sun in the Afternoon
Capturing the Sunset
One fine day last summer. The month of April where the weather is so hot here in the Philippines. I love to capture the beautiful colors of sunset. It takes my breath away! My photos are real. And it has no editing though, I used the digital camera. I like to capture the real lighting of the sunset.
Before Sunset
While this photo below was taken before the sunset. The sky looks calm. It was windy. And a perfect time for kite flying. I missed to took the picture of the kite. I was so happy and overwhelmed because my kite flew so high! The feeling was good though it landed so bad on a tree. As if being a kid again during summer.
Photos are like memories. Every time you take a look at them. You will always remember what was the photo all about. It tell stories. Your passion or even your desire. It's an art.
