By the time we reached the restaurant wading through the traffic the slight drizzle soaked us up a bit and that added to our hunger. Parking our vehicles outside the three of us rushed in for the lunch. Without wasting anytime ordered the food starting with the soup.

Soup: Mexican Chicken Soup

There was no second opinion on this. The last time we went to Shikhar we loved the hot and spicy chicken soup. The soup was quite hot and spicy with capsicum, shredded chicken and a good sprinkling of pepper.  Do try the mexican soups. Both the veg and non-veg soups are good.

Starter: Chicken Afghani

A dry chicken kebab, tasted good and was well prepared. We did not try any mexican starters.

Main Course: Tandoori Rotis and Ghost Jehanghiri

Rotis were served hot. The curry, Ghost Jehanghiri was made of tender lamb pieces marinated in four different spices, grilled and then tossed into a gravy made of tomatoes and cashewnuts. The curry was not spicy but tasty.

Biryani gone wrong: To finish the lunch we ordered some boneless lamb biryani. What they served was rice mixed with lamb pieices. The biryani did not even look or smell or taste like the regular biryani.

Pricing: The prices are a bit on the higher side but affordable given the locality where it is situated. A meal for two (Soup, Starter, Rice, Rotis, Curry and a Dessert) should cost around Rs.750.

Ambience and Service: A small place neatly done with good service.

Verdict: Worth visiting once.

I really enjoyed the architecture and detail work of the place. I suppose if you just want to look at the outside, you really don't need to pay the $40-50 admission price. You can just drive up the long drive, park and walk up to the house and look around. For more information on touring and tickets, here is the website.

( From Back Cover )

"It's time Joanne Baldwin had a break.  But is she getting one?  Nooooooo.  Instead, someone's calling up earthquakes to make her life miserable.  Even David asking her to marry him can't solve her problems, and in fact, it may be adding to them, because someone has a grudge against mystical mixed marriages ... and it's someone David, and the rest of the Djinn, can't even sense, much less stop.

The storm's coming ... and it's going to be bad.”

Rachel Caine was kind enough to send me an ARC of this book, the 7^th in the Weather Warden series. I’ll admit that I haven’t read the first six books in the series, but after having read this one, it’s definitely a priority! I have three of them, but have been waiting to acquire all six before reading them.

If I had to name the superheroes least likely to have the greatest comic book movie ever, Iron Man would probably be high on the list. I'm not much of a comic book guy, but I'm familiar enough to know that Stan Lee's creation is a second, maybe third-tier superhero: a guy everyone knew was part of the Avengers, and had some fairly generic powers granted by a red and gold suit. Now I'm also not much of a fashion guy, but honestly, who puts red and gold together? Has this ever been done anywhere else in the history of mankind? Would a hot dog with mustard count?

Remarkably, the movie Iron Man reveals Tony Stark to be the most interesting of superheroes - in origin, in character, and in design. Let me work backwards from that list. The suit in this movie looks fantastic. It is a joy to watch, and has more personality than the garb of a Batman or a Spiderman. Granted, that novelty is partly because we've already had our share of Batman and Spiderman movies, but Iron Man's skull-like helm has a sort of primal artistry that his more famous peers lack.

Thanks largely to Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man is also probably the best developed character in the superhero movie genre. Here is a superhero that does not merely have a past or relationships, but a personality as well. Sure, he wisecracks with the best of them, but he does it with a deadpan and a smirk that suggests this is a real person, with a history and a way of dealing with the world. He does not simply go through the motions of an origin, but emotionally inhabits the decisions - Downey Jr.'s expressiveness as an actor and the quality of the writing go a long way towards achieving that.

Iron Man's origins are the raison d'être of this film, which is unusual in that the titular character is evolving up until very late in the movie. This is the story of a transformation, and that's partly why I like it so much better than, for example, Batman Begins, which takes an origin and tacks on a movie at the end. There are villains in this film, and they are admittedly somewhat weak. But - without revealing too much - it would be easy to overlook how well they are presented, particularly though another top notch acting performance.

After all this, I have not really said much about the movie. Iron Man starts with a thrilling escape and builds effortlessly off of that. There are unusually well-realized relationships between Tony Stark and his secretary, Pepper Potts, as well as his business partner Obadiah Stane; the humor and drama that ensues largely works due to the development of these characters. For a superhero movie Iron Man is comparatively light on action, but what is there works well, and who says superhero movies are just an excuse to blow stuff up, anyway? Michael Bay, maybe.

Style: 9
The suit is detailed and fun to watch. Tony Stark's mansion and workshop are some of the coolest locations I have ever seen in any movie. Downey Jr.'s performance as an eccentric but evolving billionaire gives the film a life and style all its own. The design of the villain is somewhat disappointing, which is probably my only real complaint with the entire movie.

Substance: 8
The characters are surprisingly deep and believable, more so than any other comic book movie. The story focuses on the character development of Tony Stark, paralleling the creation of the Iron Man suit, in the most extended and enjoyable superhero origin committed to film.

Overall: 9
I was blown away by Iron Man, and it's the first movie I've been eager to see a second time in the theater since The Fellowship of the Ring back in 2001. Iron Man is nothing short of the most entertaining comic book movie I've seen, to date.

Brian Eno is considered the father of modern ambient music. Rising to precedence as the keyboardist/synthesizer of British art-rockers Roxy Music, Eno would go on to pioneer experimental music in his solo work, as well as to produce and compose in a plethora of contemporary styles. His latest work was producing Coldplay's Viva La Vida.

In the liner notes of Ambient 1/Music For Aiports, Eno states, "Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting." Ambient 1, the first of Eno's four journeys into experimental ambient music, is just what it says it is. Simple, soothing, atmospheric, it is the perfect album for walking bedazzled through an airport or collapsed on a bench, watching the time click by. Defined by synthesizers and keyboards, it develops slowly, successful when almost unobserved.

The first two tracks (or one piece, however you choose to look at it) consist of synthesizers beneath sparse piano. The second half relies solely on synthesizers, incorporating brass tones and strings. "2/2" is possibly the most beautiful track on the record. All four display his minimalistic influence, drawing from such artists as Glass, Cage, and Reich.  This album serves as a glorious soundtrack to an airport, or wherever else it is played. The atmosphere would mesh just as simply with a park, a market, a coffeehouse, a subway, or even a busy city street. As Eno's first determined atmospheric work Ambient 1/Music For Airports is notable both historically and for its beauty. It is a landmark album that deserves its acclaim.

5/5

The film opens with Mulder (Duchovny) standing outside Joliet State Correctional Institute with a suitcase in hand. Pulling up in an old police car bought at auction is Scully (Gillian Anderson). After a quick trip to James Brown’s church in Chicago and a long talk with Cab Calloway, the two decide to get the band back together and save the orphanage in which they grew up.

Oh wait, that’s the plot of The Blues Brothers. Sorry.

Here's the plot of The X-Files: I Want to Believe, as well as a review.

பாலா, அமீர் ஆகியோரின் படைப்புகளில் தமிழ் சினிமாவை வேறோரு தளத்திற்கும் தரத்திற்கும் கொண்டு சென்ற "பிதா மகன்", "பருத்தி வீரன்" இரண்டுமே மதுரை மண்ணை ஈரத்துடன் இயல்பாக அணுகியவை. இதற்கு மேல் மதுரையை மையமாகக் கொண்ட சினிமா திகட்டி விடும் என்று நினைத்த நேரத்தில் இவர்களின் பட்டறையிலிருந்து சசிக்குமார் என்றொரு படைப்பாளியின் கைவண்ணத்தில் "சுப்ரமணியபுரம்".

உணர்ச்சிவசப்படுதல். இதுதான் மதுரை மற்றும் திருநெல்வேலி மண்ணின் மைந்தர்களிடம் இருக்கும் பொதுவான பழக்கம். இப்படித்தான் என்பதுகளில் உணர்ச்சிக்கும் அறிவுக்கும் உள்ள தூரத்தில் உதவி என்ற எலும்புத் துண்டை போட்டு விட்டு ரொம்ப நாளாக கட்சியில் எந்த பதவியும் பெறமுடியாத படி தன்னை மறித்து நிற்கும் ஒரு மாவட்டத்தை போட்டுத்தள்ள வேலை வெட்டி இல்லாமல் தங்களையே சுற்றி வரும் மூன்று இளைஞர்களை பணிக்கின்றனர் ஒரு முன்னாள் கவுன்சிலரும் அவரது தம்பியும். இளைஞர்களின் உணர்ச்சி ஜெயித்த வேலையில் எக்ஸ் – கவுன்சிலர் தம்பியின் குள்ள நரித்தனம் ஜெயித்திட இன்னொரு பிரபலத்தின் தயவில் ஜெயிலிலிருந்து வெளிவரும் இளைஞர்களுக்கு அந்த பிரபலம் இன்னொரு அசைன்மன்டை கொடுக்க தொடர்கிறது இவர்களின் கொலைப்பணி. எக்ஸையும் அவரது தம்பியையும் போட்டுத்தள்ளுவதே லட்சியமாக திரியும் இவர்களின் உணர்ச்சிகள் நயவஞ்சகத்தில் நசுக்கப்படுவதே "சுப்ரமணியபுரம்".

சென்னை 28ல் ஜொலித்த ஜெய் தான் முக்கிய கதாபாத்திரம். அசட்டுத்தனமாகவும், தலையை வைப்ரேஷன் மோடில் வைத்து காதலில் வழிந்தோடும் நடிப்பும் வெகு ஜோர். தனது கேரியரின் அடுத்த சினிமாவை அழகாக தேர்ந்தெடுத்ததற்கு சபாஷ். மயிரிழையில் உயிர் தப்பி எதிரிகளுக்கு பயந்து ஒதுங்கிய வீட்டிலுள்ள பெண்ணின் காலில் விழுந்து உயிர் பிச்சை கேட்கும் போது பரிதாபம்
காட்ட வைக்கிறார்.

அந்த காலத்தில் பாரதிராஜாவும், பாலச்சந்தரும் தங்கள் கதாநாயகிகளை அறுபது டிகிரி கோணத்தில் கண்களை சாய்வாக்கி படபடக்கும் படி பேச விடுவார்கள். கொஞ்சம் அசெளகரியமாக தோன்றும் இந்த ஸ்டைலை அருமையாக பிரதிபலித்திருக்கிறார் துளசியாக வரும் "சுவாதி". எண்ணி ஒரு பக்கத்திற்குள்ளாகவே இவரது மொத்த டயலாக்குகளுமே முடிந்தாலும் சிரிப்பும் அழுகையுமாக நம்மை ஆர்பரிக்கின்றார்.

எக்ஸ் –கவுன்சிலரின் தம்பியாக வரும் சமுத்திரக்கனியும் சரி; ஜெய் நண்பனாக வரும் இயக்குநர் சசிக்குமாரும் சரி பாத்திரம் அறிந்து அரங்கேறியிருக்கின்றனர். ரொம்பவும் பக்குவமாக சுபாவத்தோடு ஜெய்யின் அவசரத்தனத்தை கட்டுப்படுத்தும் நண்பனாக வரும் சசி மனதை அள்ளுகிறார். அத்தனை கொலைகளையும் செய்து நண்பர்களையும் தொலைத்து சந்தோஷத்தை இழந்து ஆற்றங்கரையில் இவர் புலம்பும் காட்சிகளும் அதைத் தொடர்ந்த கொடூரங்களும் இன்னும் மனதை விட்டு அகலவில்லை.

மதுரை மண்ணென்றால் கஞ்சா கருப்பு ஸ்பெஷல் தான். காசுக்காக பெரிய நம்பிக்கை துரோகத்தை செய்யும் இடங்களில் சலசலக்க வைக்கின்றார்.

தங்களை வெட்ட கிளம்பி வரும் கும்பலிடமிருந்து ஜெய்யும், கஞ்சா கருப்பும் மூலை முடுக்கெல்லாம் ஓடும் போது சடேலென நினைவுக்கு வருகின்றார் எஸ்.ஆர்.கதிர். சுப்ரமணியபுரத்தை தன் கேமிராவால் உயிரூட்டியவர். அதுவும் அந்த ஆற்றங்கரைக் காட்சிகள் நமக்கும் ஏதோவொரு வெறுமையை ஏற்படுத்தும் அளவிற்கு அவ்வளவு நேர்த்தி. பருத்திவீரனை அழகாக பேக் செய்து கொடுத்த ராஜா முஹம்மது தான் இதற்கும் எடிட்டிங். கொடூரமான கொலைக் காட்சிகளை அதன் அளவிற்கு விட்டு விட்டு அப்புறம் சபை கருதி வெட்டி விட்டு படத்தை இயல்பு நடை போட வைத்திருக்கிறார். இருந்தாலும், ஆற்றங்கரை மணல், ட்ரிப்ஸ் ஏற்றும் ட்யூப் போன்றவற்றை ஒரு முனையிலிருந்து மறுமுனைக்கு இவ்வளவு நீளமாக கதிரின் காமிரா காட்டினாலும் ராஜாவாவது கத்திரிகோல் போட்டிருக்கலாமே.

பெல்ஸ் பாட்டம் பேண்ட், டைட் ஷர்ட் அகல கால்லர் என்ற என்பதுகளின் பாணியை முன்னிறுத்திய காஷ்ட்யூம் டிசைனர் நட்ராஜூம், என்பது கால காட்சிகளுக்கு உணர்வு கொடுத்த ஆர்ட் டைரக்டர் ரெம்போனும் பாராட்டுக்குரியவர்கள். ஆங்காங்கே மட்டும் மிக மெல்லிசான இயலாமை தெரிகின்றது.

அழகான தன் காம்பியரிங்கில் அசர வைத்த ஜேம்ஸ் வசந்தன் தான் இசை என்பது இன்னுமொரு சர்ப்ரைஸ். "கண்கள் இரண்டால்", "காதல் சிலுவையில் அறைந்தால்" இன்னும் ரீங்காரமிடுகின்றன. முன்னது விசுவலில் காதல் வருடுகின்றது என்றால், பின்னது ஷங்கர் மஹாதேவனின் குரலில் இறுக்கம் தருகின்றது. படம் நெடுக ஏர்.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானையும் யுவனையும் கலந்த பாணியில் பின்ணணி இசை இழையோடுகின்றது. முதல் கொலைக்கு இன்னொரு ஊருக்கு சென்று ஆயுதங்கள் வாங்க சசிக்குமாரும், கஞ்சா கருப்பும் செல்லும் போது அமைத்திருக்கும் பின்ணணி இசை காட்சியை மிரள வைக்கின்றது.

சித்தன் சவுண்ட் சர்வீஸை சுற்றிய வேலை வெட்டி இல்லாத இளைஞர்களின் வாழ்க்கை முறையை இயல்பு மீறாமல் திரைக்கதைப் படுத்தியிருக்கிறார் சசிக்குமார். முன்பாதி கலகல; பின்பாதி வெலவெல என்ற அதே "பிதா மகன்", "பருத்தி வீரன்" பாணியில் திரைக்கதை பேட்டர்ன் இருந்தாலும் அப்படங்களில் பாலாவும் அமீரும் காட்டியிருந்த தனித்தன்மையை சசிக்குமாரும் செவ்வனே காட்டியிருக்கிறார் கொஞ்சம் நிதானமாக. நறுக்குத் தெரித்த வசனங்களோ, அனல் பறக்கும் காட்சிகளோ படத்தில் இல்லை என்றாலும் சந்தோஷம், பயங்கரம் இரண்டையும் யதார்த்தமாகக் காட்டியிருக்கிறார். ஐயனார் சிலைகளும் குதிரைகளும் சூழ்ந்த அந்த பாறை மேட்டில் கதாநாயகி பொலபொலவென தன் காதலன் முன்னால் அழுகின்ற காட்சிகளும் அதைத் தொடர்ந்த திருப்பங்களும், கஞ்சா கருப்புவிடம் ஆற்றங்கரையில் புலம்பும் சசிக்குமாரும் அதைத் தொடர்ந்த திருப்பங்களும் ஒட்டுமொத்த படத்தையும் வேறு தளத்திற்கு இட்டு செல்கின்றது.

மனதளவில் நாம் மழுங்கி விட்டோமா என்று தெரியவில்லை; ஹீரோயினை கொல்லாமல் படத்தை முடித்திடும் போது "என்னப்பா அப்படியே விட்டுட்டாய்ங்க" என்று தோன்றுகின்றது. மற்றபடி விட்டேத்தியாக வேலை வெட்டி இல்லாமல் உணர்ச்சிப்பூர்வமாக என்பதுகளில் சுற்றித் திரிந்த இளைஞர்களின் கதை தான் என்றாலும் அது இப்போதும் இளைஞர்களுக்கு குறிப்பாக தென்மாவட்ட இளைஞர்களுக்கு பொருந்தும்.

சுப்ரமணியபுரம் – தமிழ் சினிமாவின் இன்னொரும் தராதரம்.

akhirnya buku sudah saya sunting dengan mahar sebesar 38 ribu mata uang lokal. isinya tidak begitu jauh berbeda dengan blognya. yah gapapa, hitung-hitung buat buku panduan backpacking.

Normal Guy 50-Words-or-Less Plot: A 22 year-old home repairman unwisely takes a train ticket and paid hotel reservation from his latest client. He quickly finds himself in a life-or-death struggle in a twisted game from which there is no escape.

"13 Tzameti" is what is called film noir. Do not expect to find anything cheery or necessarily uplifting in this movie. Noir just isn't cheery.

22 year-old Sébastien (GEORGE BABLUANI) is making repairs to a house belonging to a morphine addict named Jean-François (PHILIPPE PASSON). While working on the house, Sébastien overhears a conversation between Jean-François and another man. He learns there is an opportunity to make a lot of money. Jean is waiting for the delivery of an envelope with some instructions in it. Jean expresses a great deal of nervousness about this and he believes he may not return from where he needs to go and what he has to do. Other mysterious men are watching the house and also waiting for the same envelope. The envelope arrives and in it is a train ticket and paid hotel reservation.
Jean-François puts it away, takes a long hot bath and ODs on morphine. Sébastien finds and takes the envelope and
goes on the trip in Jean-François' place.

This is unwise. Sébastien is young, poor, naive and somewhat innocent about the world. All he wants to do is make sure his family has money. He boards the train and begins a journey from which there is no escape. For Sébastien, the only way he is going to get out is to finish the journey even if it means compromising his own morals just to survive. He will not come out unscathed. His innocence will be gone.

George Babluani does a great job as Sébastien. There isn't a ton of dialogue and the most intense scenes are the ones in which a word isn’t spoken. Facial expression and body language are used to communicate terror,  hopelessness and will to survive.

The film's sharp, black and white cinematography is good as is the score. Director Géla Bubliani explores the darkness of human nature effectively.

This film is about greed, blood-lust and making a quick buck. There is no gore on-screen which made me think of Alfred Hitchcock and his style. I also kept thinking of "The Deer Hunter" (if you see this film, you'll know why). There are few redeeming characters in the film. The only possible ones may be the police. In this movie, money equals freedom and happiness and it's the purpose of the game.

I liked this film, first, because I like film noir for the most part. Secondly, the acting was great and the story was well told.

If you like French film and/or film noir and it's exploration of the dark side of human nature, you'll like this film. If not, go see "Wall-E".

Themes: greed, gambling, murder, life, death, drug addiction, survival, escape, revenge

gua tau film ini udah lama, emang filmnya udah lama hehe. dengen rekomendasi oleh banyak pihak, mereka semua bilang film ini bagus dan romantis, dan kaya akan suguhan pemandangan eksotis eropa (viena) jika anda adalah penggemar traveling atau backpacking.

setelah gua sendiri nonton, menurut gua film ini...gua ceritain dikit dah menurut gua

jadi ada orang amerika bernama jesse (ethan hawke) naik kereta api ke viena, eh ketemu sama celine (julie delpy) dan mereka berdua ngobrol ngalor ngidul entah ngomongin apa sampe pelemnya abis dan mereka berpisah di stasiun kereta api (again). udah gitu doang? in my humble opinion, yes.

dan film keduanya, before sunset, sama aja. mereka berdua ketemu lagi di perancis dan ngobrol (oh not again) sampe filmnya selesai. well untuk yang ke dua gua memutuskan untuk gak nonton sampe selesai, sebenernya karena ketiduran :P.

entahlah, dimana letak bagus dan romantisnya. gua mungkin emang bukan tipe orang yang romantis sampe-sampe gak tau letak romantisnya dimana. menurut gua, gua itu lebih ke tipe agility yang menyusup lalu bunuh dan kabur dengan cepat, hehehe emangnya maen dotA.

see ya

pertama kalinya dalam sejarah gua tidur di bioskop, ada dua faktor, yang pertama karena filmnya ngebosinin atau karena blitzmegaplex paris van java terlalu nyaman buat gua dan nontonnya terlalu malem (ini 3 faktor dudul!). yang jelas film yang bagus tidak akan pernah membuat gua tidur.

di satu setengah jam pertama filmnya cukup menarik, sampai akhirnya.....(kok yang keliatan keren malah jokernya yah?)
i though the movies will end when the joker had captured by the police, tapi ternyata masih panjang lagi, dan gua udah mulai ngantuk, tokoh ceweknya mati dan yang satunya lagi jadi jahat dan gua pun tertidur, begitu bangun batmannya udah kabur dikejar-kejar polisi dan filmnya selesai. udah gitu aja? iyah.

tapi gua gak terlalu ngerasa rugi nonton film ini, selain gratis, I never hope too much on a batman movies. dan tokoh utama cewe film ini (rachel) mirip banget sama temen seangkatan gua, cukup lumayan menyejukkan mata  :-P, begitu si rachel ini tertidur untuk selama-lamanyanya, gua lebih memutuskan untuk tidur sementara.

The tale starts when Ryan receives a revelation from watching televangelists on late night television—in order to sell more real estate, he must sell to Christians. Taking out an ad in the Christian business directory, Ryan pretends to be a Christian because he learns that Christians want to buy from, live around, and socialize with other Christians. Before long, he does good deeds and fakes being a pastor, which leads to his decision to plant his own church in Bartlesville, OK.

Using a business model, Ryan’s church, The People’s Church, attracts attention making him and his wife, Katherine, wealthy, successful, and respected members of the community. However, Ryan doesn’t actually believe in God or know anything about the Bible, so he has to constantly maneuver his way out of uncomfortable situations using wit and charm. Ryan Fischer is a charismatic leader who would stop at nothing to gain power—for the greater good, of course (and to make a few bucks here and there). What’s interesting about Ryan is that he learns that doing kind things for others makes him not only feel good inside, but also makes him popular.

The book functions as a satire on the way many Christians do church. Having little exposure to Christianity and church, Ryan fakes his way through his pastorate. His mistakes seem like a postmodern leader admitting that he doesn’t have all the answers. When in reality, Ryan doesn’t even understand the questions. Plus, his observations about church—the greeters, children's church, worship music, lighting, stage, sound, and advertising are hilarious. Because Ryan examines Christianity from outside the box, he is almost like an alien studying the oddities of human behavior.

Despite deceiving his congregation about being a pastor, Ryan turns out to be a pretty good preacher—inspiring others to follow God. By watching others experience Grace, Ryan and Katherine wonder if they’re missing out on the bigger picture. Ryan easily shrugs off his feelings, acting as if he is a god, while Katherine seems to be seeking a faith of her own. A dynamic character that gets a little too friendly with the church worship leader, Cowboy Jack, Katherine is Ryan’s moral compass and the voice of reason in an otherwise insane and confusing situation.

The Almost True Story of Ryan Fisher is not only a great read on the surface, but a book that will enable Christians to think deeply about church in America. The questions that Stennett raises through Ryan, Katherine, and the other characters are timeless: What does it mean to be the church? How can a loving God allow such horrible things to happen? Why does worship music all sound strangely similar? Instead of offering pat answers, Stennett allows the questions to linger within the recesses of our minds long after the last page of the book is read. However, instead of writing a boring dialogue on theology, Stennett offers an amusing tale, too.

The first artist I think you should know about is Busdriver. I found him accidentally while searching for another group. It's hard to explain his styles, so I'll just tell you to look at some of his music videos on YouTube. If you like rhymes that are as fast as they are intellectual, you'll enjoy Busdriver's music.

The next group is called Blue Scholars. I've only heard one song by them, so I can't speak for their full catalog. The one song I did hear, Blink, really caught my attention. I think they are worth a second look.

So there they are. Check them out and you'll see that not all is lost. The world of hip hop isn't completely overrun with songs about gangstas and bitches.

Grills, especially gas grills, are an equipment to be used with caution and care, as they may just put you in danger. Most of the times, fires are started by gas tanks of such grills.

No further than November 17, a fire devastated the back porch of a house. It was started from a debris fire that was not completely extinguished and came dangerously close to three propane tanks for a gas grill that Robert Delphia was keeping on the porch. The pressure relief valve on one of the tanks activated, resulting in a loud noise that was initially described as an explosion, but the tanks did not explode. Fortunately, the incident ended quickly without victims or injuries, as the fire was noticed and reported in an incipient stage by the Police Officer on patrol.

This was a case of external ignition factor, but there are many reported cases when fire is started as a result of manufacturing flaws. Thus, although confined within manufacturing standard limitations, there are still reported cases of home accidents occurring because of manufacturing problems.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission receives reports of such accidents or malfunction cases that might endanger the user, analyzes the situation and may decide to recall dangerous products. These are some examples of recalled grills and their producers:

• Jenn-Air Downdraft Gas Cooktops produced by Maytag Corp., of Newton, Iowa.
  • November 18: 1,170 units were recalled.
  • Cause: switches are located too close to the gas tubing that leads to the grill burner. The produced electrical arch represents a fire hazard.
  • Reports: 4 reports - fire catching during use as a result of a gas leak, no injuries.

• Five-burner Vermont Castings barbeque grills produced by CFM Corporation, Canada.
  • November 10: 12,500 units were recalled.
  • Cause: gas leak and fire hazard.
  • Reports: 38 reports - gas leaks, but no injuries or property damage.

• Beefmaster Explorer Outdoor Gas Grill produced by Nexgrill Industries, Inc., of Walnut, Los Angeles County.
  • October 21: 10,000 units were recalled.
  • Cause: when adjusting the gas pressure regulator the label on the valve can become positioned so consumers cannot see what it indicates, thus it could be left on by mistake.
  • Reports: 2 reports – gas leaks but no injuries or property damage.

And these are only few of the dangerous products reported lately. A little too many, aren't they? So, how come that so many inappropriately manufactured products get to reach the stores and finally the consumers?

A Parisian ironmonger takes his family on a trip to the country side and it is there that his daughter, Henriette, becomes the object of affection for Rodolphe. He convinces his buddy, Henri, to help mingle with Henriette and her mother, Juliette. Henri remains passive and reserved, while Rodolphe brings out as many charming bits of dialogue as possible. Despite his intentions, his witty manner impresses Juliette rather than Henriette. When the group decides to go boating, Henriette decides to tag along with Henri and the result is a tragedy of two would-be lovers never quite aware of their feelings, let alone how to express them.

There are a few films that Renoir's short bears a heavy resemblance to. One of the most obvious being Picnic at Hanging Rock if only for the whole "day in the country" (hence the film's title!) set-up, but thankfully Renoir never indulges in a goofy mystery story, but instead goes the route of a lost love type narrative, which I certainly prefer. This is where the film begins to show shades of Hiroshi Shimizu's great Kanzashi, which is obviously not a problem at all. It's good to finally be able to see the connection between Renoir and Shimizu outside of the fact they were both formally experimental. Not only is the story the same, but the way in which Renoir achieves cinematic poetry within such a limited aesthetic is astonishing in the same way the poetic moments in Shimizu's film are. Really, the only problem with this film is that it is short, which makes it slightly less powerful, but with that said, I actually wouldn't want it to be any longer.

A very orange or amber colored beer on the pour into a pilsner glass. It had a small head. I really didn't get bowled over with the nose on this one after pouring. It smells of sweet malts. It tasted of sweet malts. It is smooth and creamy and you don't pick up the alcohol levels at all.  It had notes of bread, caramel, metal and hops. All in all not a bad as it is very smooth - but nearly flat.

My ratebeer.com score: 3.5

My Beer Advocate score: B

I dont like the bottle. It gets very slippery. It has a pop top lid that makes it difficult to open and close. If you arent careful and close it, it will pour out if left on its side. I actually have ended up pouring it into a pump bottle. No more leaks.

The product itself is very good. I would buy it again. I give it 8 hearts out of 10. It lost a heart for the bottle and another for the thinness.

After Jonas is selected, he begins to receive the memories of the past and learns about what human existence was like before his community. This leads him to make a decision about how he ought to proceed into the future. Was the past with all its terrible wars and violence better than this static future? Or is it better to have a full belly than beautiful music and colors?

The book raises that insistent question: Can you have art and beauty without violence, death, and pain? A lot of scholarship has been written on this question, with many scholars siding with the idea that violence is in fact productive of art. After all, at the center of any good story must be some sort of conflict. The book implies that the beautiful and good things the most that make life worth living also cause some of the worst sides of human behavior. The two are intimately linked. The book leaves open the question of which existence is better. Not much changed on my re-read. A solid, fairly straightforward novel with Utopian/Dystopia trappings.

 von Mayenburg seems to have confused economy with substance, because even with a script of less than an hour, he is relying on a wafer-thin premise: what if revolutionary surgery was developed suddenly giving us the ability to all become incredibly attractive? It's a concept milked for every last gag when Lette (Michael Gould), who upon being told he is not marketable by his employer and confronted by his wife realises that he is terrifically ugly, decides to undergo the operation. The results are initially positive for Lette, receiving a promotion and being adored by his wife like never before, but as others decide to have the operation too, his world descends into a chaotic whirlwind of game playing, identity confusion and narcissism.

What von Mayenburg is attempting to say about the superficiality of physical beauty is probably best realised in Gray's direction: clean, stripped back with no set, props or costumes, and with no actual physical transformations taking place in any of operations. In an especially nice touch, the stage manager is also seated in a small on stage box in clear view of the audience. While Gray gets some energetic and, at-times, funny performances from his cast, the play feels incredibly static in the space, imbuing all of its weight onto the text.

Unfortunately, there's very little original, or really very interesting, in the body of The Ugly One; there's nothing outside of that single premise. And while von Mayenburg's championing of the importance of the inner self and individuality is never overtly political, antagonistic or too self-righteous, it still seems a little ironic considering that on the whole the play is, quite simply, just a bit bland.

Perhaps I'm the shallow one?
